I had a work road trip this week and got a phone call from my sister that my mom was majorly depressed and needed to get out and be around others, so I invited her to join me on my 6 hour drive. I put on the podcast and she shared that she had never watched any of Nate's stand up. We proceeded to watch every special we could find for the remainder of the trip and the Nate medley made the time go by faster and had her crying with laughter. She said she hasn't laughed like that in a long time, and I think it was really healing. Thanks for sharing the medicine of laughter! - Brooklyn in Jacksonville
The most Dusty sentence ever spoken. “I can’t get anymore leaves into the back of my truck cause there’s a bathtub in there right now because I’m going to start a worm farm.”
PSA FOR ALL HAMSTER OWNERS! Did you know hamsters hibernate?! When hamsters get too cold they can go into a state of inactivity where it's body temperature lowers and their heart rate and breathing rate decrease to conserve energy. . There is no visible heartbeat or breathing. STOP throwing away your hamsters or feeding them to your pet snakes! They might just be sleeping
We had a cat run away once. A year later, someone put a "missing cat" poster up on our complex bulletin board. It was a picture of our cat. Someone else lost our cat too.
Hey bears! I think it would be cool if you announced some of the upcoming topics at the end of some episodes so we(the audience) can leave relevant comments for the future episodes.
UK fan here. So much of the US culture references (Country Music, etc) goes completely over my head - no idea about Zak Brown, Zak Bryan, Joe Diffee etc as they have no profile here - but none of that matters. Just four friends talking about everything and nothing, and I could absolutely listen to it all day. And the ‘That’s what Jesus said’ comment was absolute genius.
I’ve listened to every podcast since the beginning and Aaron’s saying “33… gonna be a good year” followed by Breakfast saying “that’s what Jesus said” may have been the most overlooked bit in the podcasts history. A moment of appreciation for Bitcoin who is often under appreciated. This kind of quick wit at his age is something we should all strive for.
I think that Nate telling Birch Beer that he looks like the default video game avatar before you make any changes or additions is the hardest I have laughed at anything in the history of this podcast. Absolutely hilarious!
Dusty: Leaves are very nutritious for your grass. I’ve gathered 12 big bags. Aaron: What are you gonna do with all those leaves? Dusty: Kill a huge patch of grass in my yard.
I am Butterbrickle’s age, and some of my earliest memories include milk being delivered to the house. Of course, being in the Dairy State may have had something to do with it, and it was finished by the time I started school. We had a dedicated milk chute that I would occasionally have to crawl through if my older sisters forgot the key, and we were locked out. Eventually my dad closed it off for insulation and security.
My Starter jacket from high school!!! I remember waking up on Christmas morning and there they were 😃. Charlotte Hornets for my older sister and the Mighty Ducks for my younger brother. I begged for Notre Dame. Pretty sure the only reason is because me and Rudy have the same birthday. August 23rd. (Fun fact: Mic Novicki and I were born on the exact same day all the way back in 1982!) Love the podcast and all of you guys! Stay funny! ❤️
Hey guys wanted to say I love the podcast. Brian and Aaron are very funny and it’s great to have Aaron as a role model since we look alike. As always, I am late to good things, so even though I have known and enjoyed Neil Barngoatyz comedy for years, I failed to start listening to the podcast when it started. That said I wanted to let you know I just finished episode 10 and 11 talking about comedy and it inspired me to finally sign up to an open mic and take a step toward a long time dream of mine. I won’t be able to go up til the 29th or so because I waited to long to sign up, keeping with my life theme of being late to things. I will catch up and keep up with the podcast and comment on how I did. Thanks so much for the laughs and the comedy discussion/advice. Much love, Adam D.
Nate describing Brian’s running during the shots fired situation had me rolling!! I’ve been a fan for a few years but just stumbled upon your podcast. My husband and I had tickets to see you in 2021 - show was rescheduled because of Covid but the new date was days after I was due to give birth. We traveled from California to finally see you live in Chicago 10 days ago and it was absolutely worth the trip! Loved seeing your dad too! We are forever fans 🤍
Aaron said he didn’t see how you can bond with birds but I will say I really enjoyed my cockatiel when I was a kid. He had clipped wings and I would keep him on my shoulder and play video games. It would relieve itself on me sometimes and that wasn’t as much fun.
Interesting interaction Nate brought up about Chris Stapleton. I work with a guy, his daughter is a magazine writer in Nashville and tells us about her interactions with multiple singers. She has interviewed Stapleton twice and both times was just a longer version of what Nate experienced. She said he was not engaged in the interview at all. Doesn’t make him a bad guy, just interesting that her story was kind of confirmed by Nate.
Well I would agree, I said it doesn’t make him a bad guy. My shyness has been interpreted as arrogance or irritability several times so I’m not jumping to conclusions. Just making an observation that it lined up with what someone I know told me as well.
One of the funniest parts of these podcasts is how Breakfast will be right about a lot of the questions asked but he’s immediately told no. It kills me
I 100% agree with Dusty on the pitiful Joe Diffee tribute. The singing wasn't good at all, harmony struggled a lot and the fire Joe Diffee brought to his music was nowhere to be found. Dusty knows what he's talking about!
We had a crocodile when I was a kid. I grew up in Alabama and my dad was a logger. He was constantly bringing home baby squirrels, foxes, turtles, and snakes, even venomous. He bought the crocodile at a pet store in Florence, Alabama in 1994 and it lived in an aquarium on the floor in our living room. Luckily, it ate all the fish in its aquarium one night and died before it got big enough to do any real damage to us, which was inevitable with a 7 year old and 4 year old little boys running around. We got our daughter a ball python during COVID and one of the live rats we tried feeding her was too big and dislocated the snake’s jaw and attacked the snake who later died from the injuries. We also had a rabbit that my wife and daughter put out in our Southern California backyard to “get some exercise” and was likely snatched by the neighborhood coyotes. From now on, I think we’ll stick to boring ol’ dogs.
Aaron had to be burning up in that Starter jacket! I'm a big guy myself and I was sweating for him. Nate's house can't be that cold to be wearing something THAT heavy!
On the milk man delivery... we were getting it up until the early/ mid 80s in Illinois! Company was called Twin Oaks, the delivery driver wore company coveralls, the truck was old (1960?) and it had squirrel painted on the side :) I'm w/ you guys- bring back the milkman !
I absolutely love Dusty on the show but I can’t say that I would want him as a neighbor. With the bags upon bags of leaves, worm tub, raccoons, squirrels and owl house, I picture him like Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation waving and saying as people go by, “We’re having a good time”!
Let’s go folks! Bran Muffin said “Chowchilla” instead of “Chinchilla.” Chowchilla is a small farming California town about 40 minutes north of Fresno. Ironically, there are no wild chinchillas to be found here!
While listening to the episode I was literally burying our pet dog of 15 years. I can tell you dogs are definitely a special bond. You guys really kept me laughing during a sad time. Thanks guys. Love the podcast.
Founding folk here, Bates' face was priceless when Nate said he had a bird hit a frying pan. At a pet show in elementary school I showed my 2 hamsters Salt & Pepper. It was an outside show and the glass basically cooked them. They won most active cause they didn't stop running in their wheels the whole time. In the car ride home I noticed they weren't moving.
Felt like Dusty was a pretty normal guy last week talking about Colin Cowherd and college football. That all went out the window when I heard him pronounce Morgan “Waylon” and talk about collecting leaves for 5 minutes. I love this podcast.
I’m 30 minutes into Chariot and it’s like a catastrophe that you don’t want to see but yet cannot stop looking at. Nate! Love all of you guys, you’ve made a positive difference in my world and so very thankful for your comedy. Great job at Radio City and SNL. See you in Tampa! Banana Bread is awesome and you are fortunate to have him. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Bear! Just bought a new house in July with 2 large maple trees and then neighbor has 1 maple tree next to our property line. We raked about 60 bags of leaves or more this fall. Dusty too bad your not in Michigan or I would send you home with some! Planning on seeing Dusty in June at the Royal Oak Music Theater! Thanks for making all of our days a little brighter.
Jimmy Stewart read the poem, “A dog named Beau” on Johnny Carson. Very touching poem that highlights what Aaron said about the connection between humans and dogs.
Wow, Nate bringing down the room with those tragic pet stories. My friend had fish that kept dying and to keep the kids none the wiser he would tell them he was taking them to the Walmart hospital. Only to be getting brand new fish. I also felt for the fellas when Nate was telling those stories too. They were so sad, and they tries to remain somber but it is hard to not make jokes. Thats how my twisted mind works too. Keep up the fine work up boys!
When I was in 2nd grade my teacher asked me to take home the class pet for summer vacation. He was a guinea pig named Nibbles. One morning he wasn't moving, and I screamed when I poked him and realized he was dead. I then found out that the teacher knew that Nibbles was old and was expecting him to die soon. Considering that I was 8 years old, I think someone could have warned me.
Brian, my husband and I were just recently telling our daughter about Riki tiki Tavi. I think we both watched it in school. Aaron, I am with you on the dislike of octopus and could see the immediate discomfort when it was mentioned 😂😂 Y’all keep the good times coming.
Hey fellas did you know hamsters have an interesting defense mechanism in the event they get a leg stuck somewhere? No? We didn’t either. What a nice surprise it was to learn this as a child when my pet hamster got caught in his cage and chewed his own leg off to get free. I bet my mom wished we had a snake like Aaron did. Would have been a more economical next step.
You have no idea how much joy it brought me during the discussion of the domestication of wolves when Worried dropped the comment “you mean like 10,000 years ago?“ just to watch Dusty‘s face and reaction to the number of years…. It was awesome
I could not be more pumped about hearing how Aaron blanked in front of Brad Paisley. Brad is from my hometown in West Virginia (the fattest state 😅) and I got to meet him when I was in high school. He was just a few years older than me and already a HUGE star. He spoke to me and I felt myself go numb, I could barely respond. It’s one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. 😂 just glad I’m not alone.
I was dying when Dusty was talking about leaves because I literally was listening to the podcast while raking leaves and adding them to the paths of my garden.
I think the movie Dusty is talking about is the Werner Herzog doc "Happy People" which is a phenomenal film about folks living in the depths of Siberia. Highly recommended
We had a cat named Katie growing up that was great at catching mice. One morning, a few weeks after she had kittens, we woke up to find 22 1/2 dead mice in our garage. Not only did she really provide for her family, but we discovered there were a lot more mice around our house than previously thought. I'll go proofread this now.
I used to babysit for my cousin and my aunt had an African grey parrot. It was very smart and would make the sound of the phone ringing and then shout in my cousin's voice and say, "Mom, phone!". Also, Dusty is absolutely right about the Joe Diffie tribute!
When Nate said that Breakfast’s middle name was winded, I almost fell off the treadmill laughing! I had the thought that Denny’s needs to create the, “Worried Winded Breakfast”.
I love that Dusty brought up his future worms on the pets episode. I'm not allowed pets in my apartment, but am dreaming of setting up worms outside this spring for food composting. As a newcomer to the pod, this felt like a sign I am in the right place here.
Here in Franklin you can fill up a truck with compost the city makes from all the leaves it collects, it’s likely the same in other areas. I definitely recommend saving those leaves and layering with city compost in your beds, using the lasagna method.
In Bermuda Winded Bate's defense, I'm 29 and I knew that Rikki Tikki Tavi was a mongoose because of my high school literature class. I'm more surprised Aaron didn't know. Seems like Rudyard Kipling is an author the prestigious Webbers would read.
We have 3 dogs and they are definitely our children. We adopted Gunther when he was 1.5yo. He was missing a back leg when we got him. He is now 12 and he still has no idea that he is a tripod.
I never thought I'd ever be one of those crazy pet owners where the pet is everything but after getting divorced and my son now living a state over. This cat which came in off the street is now my son lol. I talk to him, he makes me happy and upset, he helps fill a sad gap in my life. So really at this point he's more then a pet but I'd never thought I'd be here lol.
Breakfast and I are the same age, but I guess his memory is way better than mine! I haven't even thought of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in years and it all came back to me when he mentioned it.
In college one of my roomates came home from an ice fishing trip with a smallmouth bass that was mixed in with the live bait. It was about 2 inches long when he brought him home. We named him Phil, short for Fillet. We could hold worms above the water and Phil would jump out of the water and snatch them right out of our hand. When he moved out Phil was about 8 inches long. He moved Phil with him from place to place until he was outgrowing his 60 gallon tank and was given to a guy with a pond. Phil was the best party trick pet anybody could ever have!
There is an episode of Psych that dives into this debate on blending into a sports team for police work reasons. One guy ended up being an athletic trainer as his part of the team. I think that if y’all look at it from that perspective you may find a real answer…like could you be the team mascot or like one of those guys that runs the bases in the middle of the game for people to bet on
@kimberlyzulock4426 - That was a good episode (as most of them are)... I always go back to the mummy one where Gus won't enter the room. Classic. This brings up a crtical question... does this make people like us Psych-O Folks... Folk-Os... Pineapple Folks... this could go on for a while.
Surfing the website I saw this sentence "The podcast features the three friends discussing a wide range of topics, from pop culture and current events to their personal lives and experiences." The question is - Who is not a friend? I tried not to use any big words so y'all can read through this with ease. Thanks for all the laughs! Love what y'all are doing! - Drew
I think Nate’s thinking on why comedy is becoming more popular was right on. It’s in the moment and real and not structured to try to create some kind of fantasy world. I love comedians, especially clean comedians, who focus on stuff I can relate to. It brings us together instead of divides us. We desperately need that now!
Love the podcast. Just started listening recently, but I am catching up. Let's talk about Dusty's swimming. We can look at him and say- He doesn't appear to have the same fluid dynamics of a high level swimmer. If you walked into US Olympic tryouts, no one would think you were there to try out. They may offer you food, or tell you not to lay down here.
I live in rural Pennsylvania and we have two dairies locally that still deliver milk and other dairy products. We would all be leery of someone who looked like Dusty parking his bathtub in our driveway and randomly raking our leaves.
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻 Man, daylight savings is killing me 😢11pm my time, but I'm still glad to see the Boys. Any thoughts on daylight savings hours, by the way?
I grew up in farm country and one of my friends families had a “pet” raccoon named Popcorn. One time Popcorn escaped his cage and followed his humans to school. He then immediately scurried up into the ceiling tiles and proceeded to destroy the insulation and electrical wiring prompting the fire alarm to be set off and all of us to be evacuated. We watched from the field while the fire department tried to wrangle Popcorn. They did eventually find him, unfortunately he bit the wrong wire and was electrocuted. In his final act of raccoon defiance he lived up to his name. RIP Popcorn.
I have three sons. We have had two snakes over the years and both of them have gotten loose. One was loose in our home for 2 months and we were gone for 5 weeks of that time for a cross country trip. My friends came in to water plants and I did not tell them there was a snake loose in the house. They found out. Oh my goodness. It was a ball Python which we found one night when it had come out looking for food. Shocking since we figured it was long gone. Second snake, a corn snake, got out in the minivan when my youngest decided to take it to PetSmart because other people take their pets, why can't I take mine. Dad said sure. The snake got out and went into the car's body/frame and the boys tried everything under the sun to lure it out. I refused to drive my own vehicle even through my husband was sure if I took my girlfriends out for a drive that snake would surely show up. Finally, after a trip to Home Depot and some lumber banging around in the back, the snake came out and my husband brought it in the house on the end of a rake. Being the mother of boys isn't for the faint of heart.
love Nat's perspective, Dusty could say "I was at a show during my set and the club was on fire, someone shot at me and a tornado went by" Nat's reply would be "ya ya, that's great, you gotta go through that, that's comedy, it's important that happened"
Was so excited to see Aaron last friday. Sorry to hear about the fight on saturday but whoever said welcome to Bridgeport was sooo right. Try to avoid going there at all cost. But wanted to say he had me laughing so hard i was in tears during the show. Def one of my favorite comedians now!!!
This podcast is everything I look for in a podcast. I love Dusty Slay so when I found out he was in this podcast I started watching, who knew I'd find 3 more Comedians that I love. This episode is so good especially the Cma opening. Beautiful!
The ape had a pet kitten that it bonded with, the keeper accidentally ran over the cat with her car and the ape was upset and depressed after the trainer told her in sign language. I think Bill burr has a story about watching it on TV.
Hello, Folks! In defense of Hardy and Wallen, my country band opened for both of them a few years ago and they were incredibly nice to us. They definitely had no obligation to even talk to us, but they and their bands spent a bunch of time with us (we are not a big act), and even gave our lead singer and his family free front row tickets to a later show that year when they found out he was gonna be in the same city as them. P.S. (and nobody has to read this part on the show) I think Dusty would really enjoy the Haunted Cosmos podcast if he hasn’t already listened to it. It’s a Christian podcast about aliens, bigfoot, angels, demons, and other cryptids. It seems right up his alley and I genuinely think he would enjoy it!
I'm surprised no one has brought up water polo as the sport to play and easily blend in. Every time I've seen that sport, everyone looks similarly lost and frantic. Dusty and Nate could easily blend in with water polo. Even if Dusty's 4' 8" (Briglebee made me laugh out loud with that one)!
First of all I want to say that all 4 of you guys are AWESOME together. I have enjoyed some of the guest hosts, but none as much as you 4. I hate to break it to Aaron, but he already owes Dusty a Papa Johns card. People have married their pets already. I read an article years ago where a lady married her cat. I ran a search on the old Google Machine to see if I could find that article, only to realize that there are a MULTITUDE of reprobates who have married their pets. Enjoy the Pizza Dusty, and all of y'all Keep Up the GREAT Work.
Hey guys, as usual, the best shows are when the four of you are together. I was wondering if when Dusty shops from marketplace, do any of the people ever recognize him? I would love it if Dusty showed up my house to buy a bathtub.
I grew up in Miami Beach and we had milk delivered to our house weekly by the local dairy company, MacArthur milk, up until around 2008. The milkman would deliver on credit and my dad would pay him monthly! Maybe that’s why they stopped all milk delivery at the Great Recession?…
I had a work road trip this week and got a phone call from my sister that my mom was majorly depressed and needed to get out and be around others, so I invited her to join me on my 6 hour drive. I put on the podcast and she shared that she had never watched any of Nate's stand up. We proceeded to watch every special we could find for the remainder of the trip and the Nate medley made the time go by faster and had her crying with laughter. She said she hasn't laughed like that in a long time, and I think it was really healing.
Thanks for sharing the medicine of laughter! - Brooklyn in Jacksonville
Aww that's amazing! God bless your mom!
So great❤ Laughter is an incredible medicine ❤
It might not seem like much but I've been where your mom was and when everything is so dark, having something that makes you truly laugh is so amazing
I listen to a podcast, or at least part of one, daily. I need to laugh.
This podcast is awesome. An hour and 15 minutes in and not one mention of a pet. Unless you count Dusty’s worm farm…
The most Dusty sentence ever spoken. “I can’t get anymore leaves into the back of my truck cause there’s a bathtub in there right now because I’m going to start a worm farm.”
PSA FOR ALL HAMSTER OWNERS! Did you know hamsters hibernate?! When hamsters get too cold they can go into a state of inactivity where it's body temperature lowers and their heart rate and breathing rate decrease to conserve energy. . There is no visible heartbeat or breathing. STOP throwing away your hamsters or feeding them to your pet snakes! They might just be sleeping
Hate it when a good line is missed. Aaron: Gonna be a good year. Brian: That’s what Jesus said. Great line!
That was hysterical and totally missed. Brian is a dark horse, coming in with some really funny lines that people aren’t expecting.
He has a few that get passed over
such a good line!!
Meh
I died laughing and can’t believe they just swept past it!
We had a cat run away once. A year later, someone put a "missing cat" poster up on our complex bulletin board. It was a picture of our cat. Someone else lost our cat too.
I died hearing Banjo's "That's what Jesus said" line. The rest of the guys missed it but it's one of the funniest lines of the show.
Dusty is killing it with leaf composting and native wildflowers! Very cool
Hey bears! I think it would be cool if you announced some of the upcoming topics at the end of some episodes so we(the audience) can leave relevant comments for the future episodes.
UK fan here. So much of the US culture references (Country Music, etc) goes completely over my head - no idea about Zak Brown, Zak Bryan, Joe Diffee etc as they have no profile here - but none of that matters. Just four friends talking about everything and nothing, and I could absolutely listen to it all day.
And the ‘That’s what Jesus said’ comment was absolute genius.
Nate’s face when dusty talks about collecting all the leaves 😂
Dusty is constantly surprising us and the rest of the band. It’s pure gold!
Aaron's drawing in the "ENOUGH" crowd to his shows😂
Please can Dusty and Nate have a swim meet? Folks if you want to see this as badly as I do, let your voices be heard!
Yes Please!
I’ve listened to every podcast since the beginning and Aaron’s saying “33… gonna be a good year” followed by Breakfast saying “that’s what Jesus said” may have been the most overlooked bit in the podcasts history. A moment of appreciation for Bitcoin who is often under appreciated. This kind of quick wit at his age is something we should all strive for.
😂 "at his age!" 😂
I think that Nate telling Birch Beer that he looks like the default video game avatar before you make any changes or additions is the hardest I have laughed at anything in the history of this podcast. Absolutely hilarious!
I love the "Nate explains an obscure movie" bit so much!
I’ve got to say Dusty makes me laugh out loud the most. He has such a comedic surprise factor. I’d love to see Dusty and Theo Von together
Would love a Theo and Dusty conversation!
That would be legendary 😂
Except that Theo is such a foul mouth. He's quick but his foul mouth ruins everything.
Dusty: Leaves are very nutritious for your grass. I’ve gathered 12 big bags.
Aaron: What are you gonna do with all those leaves?
Dusty: Kill a huge patch of grass in my yard.

Nate loving a 26% audienced scored movie feels like anytime I recommend this podcast to somebody
Dusty is 100 percent correct about the Joe Diffee tribute. Aaron is just too young to understand.
Aaron said he didn’t see how you can bond with birds but I will say I really enjoyed my cockatiel when I was a kid. He had clipped wings and I would keep him on my shoulder and play video games. It would relieve itself on me sometimes and that wasn’t as much fun.

We had a crocodile when I was a kid. I grew up in Alabama and my dad was a logger. He was constantly bringing home baby squirrels, foxes, turtles, and snakes, even venomous. He bought the crocodile at a pet store in Florence, Alabama in 1994 and it lived in an aquarium on the floor in our living room. Luckily, it ate all the fish in its aquarium one night and died before it got big enough to do any real damage to us, which was inevitable with a 7 year old and 4 year old little boys running around.
We got our daughter a ball python during COVID and one of the live rats we tried feeding her was too big and dislocated the snake’s jaw and attacked the snake who later died from the injuries. We also had a rabbit that my wife and daughter put out in our Southern California backyard to “get some exercise” and was likely snatched by the neighborhood coyotes.
From now on, I think we’ll stick to boring ol’ dogs.
Aaron had to be burning up in that Starter jacket! I'm a big guy myself and I was sweating for him. Nate's house can't be that cold to be wearing something THAT heavy!

Hello folks! I agree with Dusty, the tribute to Joe Diffie was terrible. 😢
I love you guys! You keep me laughing! Happy birthday to Aaron.
I bet it’s very interesting to be one of Dusty’s neighbors.
Chris Stapleton isn't a chatty fella. I've seen him in concert and I LOVED that he just played his music and didn't stop frequently to tell stories.
Founding folk here, Bates' face was priceless when Nate said he had a bird hit a frying pan. At a pet show in elementary school I showed my 2 hamsters Salt & Pepper. It was an outside show and the glass basically cooked them. They won most active cause they didn't stop running in their wheels the whole time. In the car ride home I noticed they weren't moving.

That all went out the window when I heard him pronounce Morgan “Waylon” and talk about collecting leaves for 5 minutes. I love this podcast.
“That’s what Jesus said” might be the best overlooked joke in the history of the podcast. Total gold. Totally slept on. Unbelievable.
Brian is definitely the underappreciated MVP of the gang
I think of Brian as the heart of the show
@@asherwallick7767 I agree.....& Dusty is the cherry on top
I’m 30 minutes into Chariot and it’s like a catastrophe that you don’t want to see but yet cannot stop looking at. Nate! Love all of you guys, you’ve made a positive difference in my world and so very thankful for your comedy. Great job at Radio City and SNL. See you in Tampa! Banana Bread is awesome and you are fortunate to have him. Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m on board with Dusty. God, gardening, collecting leaves, less government! You rock Dusty!
Did anyone else hear Sarah McLachlan singing when Aaron told his dog story?
Hey Bear! Just bought a new house in July with 2 large maple trees and then neighbor has 1 maple tree next to our property line. We raked about 60 bags of leaves or more this fall. Dusty too bad your not in Michigan or I would send you home with some! Planning on seeing Dusty in June at the Royal Oak Music Theater! Thanks for making all of our days a little brighter.
Jimmy Stewart read the poem, “A dog named Beau” on Johnny Carson. Very touching poem that highlights what Aaron said about the connection between humans and dogs.
Wow! I didn’t know Starter jackets still existed outside the 1990’s.
Wow, Nate bringing down the room with those tragic pet stories. My friend had fish that kept dying and to keep the kids none the wiser he would tell them he was taking them to the Walmart hospital. Only to be getting brand new fish. I also felt for the fellas when Nate was telling those stories too. They were so sad, and they tries to remain somber but it is hard to not make jokes. Thats how my twisted mind works too. Keep up the fine work up boys!
When I was in 2nd grade my teacher asked me to take home the class pet for summer vacation. He was a guinea pig named Nibbles. One morning he wasn't moving, and I screamed when I poked him and realized he was dead. I then found out that the teacher knew that Nibbles was old and was expecting him to die soon. Considering that I was 8 years old, I think someone could have warned me.
Brian, my husband and I were just recently telling our daughter about Riki tiki Tavi. I think we both watched it in school. Aaron, I am with you on the dislike of octopus and could see the immediate discomfort when it was mentioned 😂😂 Y’all keep the good times coming.
I agree with Dusty. The live Diffy tribute at the CMAs was garbage, but the studio recordings of the songs are great.
Hey fellas did you know hamsters have an interesting defense mechanism in the event they get a leg stuck somewhere? No? We didn’t either. What a nice surprise it was to learn this as a child when my pet hamster got caught in his cage and chewed his own leg off to get free. I bet my mom wished we had a snake like Aaron did. Would have been a more economical next step.
You have no idea how much joy it brought me during the discussion of the domestication of wolves when Worried dropped the comment “you mean like 10,000 years ago?“ just to watch Dusty‘s face and reaction to the number of years…. It was awesome
I could not be more pumped about hearing how Aaron blanked in front of Brad Paisley. Brad is from my hometown in West Virginia (the fattest state 😅) and I got to meet him when I was in high school. He was just a few years older than me and already a HUGE star. He spoke to me and I felt myself go numb, I could barely respond. It’s one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. 😂 just glad I’m not alone.
I was dying when Dusty was talking about leaves because I literally was listening to the podcast while raking leaves and adding them to the paths of my garden.
I think the movie Dusty is talking about is the Werner Herzog doc "Happy People" which is a phenomenal film about folks living in the depths of Siberia. Highly recommended
We had a cat named Katie growing up that was great at catching mice. One morning, a few weeks after she had kittens, we woke up to find 22 1/2 dead mice in our garage. Not only did she really provide for her family, but we discovered there were a lot more mice around our house than previously thought.
I'll go proofread this now.
I used to babysit for my cousin and my aunt had an African grey parrot. It was very smart and would make the sound of the phone ringing and then shout in my cousin's voice and say, "Mom, phone!". Also, Dusty is absolutely right about the Joe Diffie tribute!
When Nate said that Breakfast’s middle name was winded, I almost fell off the treadmill laughing! I had the thought that Denny’s needs to create the, “Worried Winded Breakfast”.
I love that Dusty brought up his future worms on the pets episode. I'm not allowed pets in my apartment, but am dreaming of setting up worms outside this spring for food composting. As a newcomer to the pod, this felt like a sign I am in the right place here.
30:34 I agree with Dusty! I was dang near appalled at the Joe Diffie tribute
I am convinced Dusty has never seen a competitive swimmer. And no chance Nate or Dusty can swim 50 meters under water with no breath.
I really like that the oldest tortoise’s name is just Jonathan.
Here in Franklin you can fill up a truck with compost the city makes from all the leaves it collects, it’s likely the same in other areas. I definitely recommend saving those leaves and layering with city compost in your beds, using the lasagna method.
Love the owl hat, Dusty!! Hope the new Owl houses are working.
🦉 🏠
Starter jacket and loose Oreos. Takes me back. I had a Starter-adjacent brand Apex Might Ducks jacket and loose Twizzlers.
Nate as a fellow OHB listening to you read is very reminiscent. That top notch Davidson County Dupont reading program that was non-existent.
I'm 41 and we watched Rikki Tikki Tavi repeatedly through elementary and middle school in the Carolinas.
In Bermuda Winded Bate's defense, I'm 29 and I knew that Rikki Tikki Tavi was a mongoose because of my high school literature class. I'm more surprised Aaron didn't know. Seems like Rudyard Kipling is an author the prestigious Webbers would read.
We have 3 dogs and they are definitely our children. We adopted Gunther when he was 1.5yo. He was missing a back leg when we got him. He is now 12 and he still has no idea that he is a tripod.
I never thought I'd ever be one of those crazy pet owners where the pet is everything but after getting divorced and my son now living a state over. This cat which came in off the street is now my son lol. I talk to him, he makes me happy and upset, he helps fill a sad gap in my life. So really at this point he's more then a pet but I'd never thought I'd be here lol.
The fact that Dusty is so aware of the government's ploys, yet he still wants to attract them to spy on him outside his home is astounding.
Breakfast and I are the same age, but I guess his memory is way better than mine! I haven't even thought of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in years and it all came back to me when he mentioned it.
In college one of my roomates came home from an ice fishing trip with a smallmouth bass that was mixed in with the live bait. It was about 2 inches long when he brought him home. We named him Phil, short for Fillet. We could hold worms above the water and Phil would jump out of the water and snatch them right out of our hand. When he moved out Phil was about 8 inches long. He moved Phil with him from place to place until he was outgrowing his 60 gallon tank and was given to a guy with a pond. Phil was the best party trick pet anybody could ever have!
There is an episode of Psych that dives into this debate on blending into a sports team for police work reasons. One guy ended up being an athletic trainer as his part of the team. I think that if y’all look at it from that perspective you may find a real answer…like could you be the team mascot or like one of those guys that runs the bases in the middle of the game for people to bet on
@kimberlyzulock4426 - That was a good episode (as most of them are)... I always go back to the mummy one where Gus won't enter the room. Classic. This brings up a crtical question... does this make people like us Psych-O Folks... Folk-Os... Pineapple Folks... this could go on for a while.
...Pineapple bears....whatever we end up being called, I'm on the team...Psych was one of my all time favorite shows, especially the early seasons!
@@woodnutz78 good question…I, personally like Psych-o Folks 😂
Surfing the website I saw this sentence "The podcast features the three friends discussing a wide range of topics, from pop culture and current events to their personal lives and experiences." The question is - Who is not a friend? I tried not to use any big words so y'all can read through this with ease. Thanks for all the laughs! Love what y'all are doing! - Drew
I am 100 percent with Dusty. The Joe Diffie tribute was terrible.
“Dusty, you’re 4’8!” 😂😂😂
I think Nate’s thinking on why comedy is becoming more popular was right on. It’s in the moment and real and not structured to try to create some kind of fantasy world. I love comedians, especially clean comedians, who focus on stuff I can relate to. It brings us together instead of divides us. We desperately need that now!
I listen to the podcast at 1.75x speed and it’s amazing when everybody starts laughing. especially Nate!
Love the podcast. Just started listening recently, but I am catching up. Let's talk about Dusty's swimming. We can look at him and say- He doesn't appear to have the same fluid dynamics of a high level swimmer. If you walked into US Olympic tryouts, no one would think you were there to try out. They may offer you food, or tell you not to lay down here.
I live in rural Pennsylvania and we have two dairies locally that still deliver milk and other dairy products.
We would all be leery of someone who looked like Dusty parking his bathtub in our driveway and randomly raking our leaves.
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻 Man, daylight savings is killing me 😢11pm my time, but I'm still glad to see the Boys. Any thoughts on daylight savings hours, by the way?
I grew up in farm country and one of my friends families had a “pet” raccoon named Popcorn. One time Popcorn escaped his cage and followed his humans to school. He then immediately scurried up into the ceiling tiles and proceeded to destroy the insulation and electrical wiring prompting the fire alarm to be set off and all of us to be evacuated. We watched from the field while the fire department tried to wrangle Popcorn. They did eventually find him, unfortunately he bit the wrong wire and was electrocuted. In his final act of raccoon defiance he lived up to his name. RIP Popcorn.
I have three sons. We have had two snakes over the years and both of them have gotten loose.
One was loose in our home for 2 months and we were gone for 5 weeks of that time for a cross country trip. My friends came in to water plants and I did not tell them there was a snake loose in the house. They found out. Oh my goodness.
It was a ball Python which we found one night when it had come out looking for food. Shocking since we figured it was long gone.
Second snake, a corn snake, got out in the minivan when my youngest decided to take it to PetSmart because other people take their pets, why can't I take mine. Dad said sure.
The snake got out and went into the car's body/frame and the boys tried everything under the sun to lure it out. I refused to drive my own vehicle even through my husband was sure if I took my girlfriends out for a drive that snake would surely show up.
Finally, after a trip to Home Depot and some lumber banging around in the back, the snake came out and my husband brought it in the house on the end of a rake.
Being the mother of boys isn't for the faint of heart.
love Nat's perspective, Dusty could say "I was at a show during my set and the club was on fire, someone shot at me and a tornado went by" Nat's reply would be "ya ya, that's great, you gotta go through that, that's comedy, it's important that happened"
Was so excited to see Aaron last friday. Sorry to hear about the fight on saturday but whoever said welcome to Bridgeport was sooo right. Try to avoid going there at all cost. But wanted to say he had me laughing so hard i was in tears during the show. Def one of my favorite comedians now!!!
For the record, I am a huge Dusty fan, alright. However, his swimming claims should not go unchallenged. Make him prove it Krispy Kreme style.
This podcast is everything I look for in a podcast. I love Dusty Slay so when I found out he was in this podcast I started watching, who knew I'd find 3 more Comedians that I love. This episode is so good especially the Cma opening. Beautiful!
The ape had a pet kitten that it bonded with, the keeper accidentally ran over the cat with her car and the ape was upset and depressed after the trainer told her in sign language. I think Bill burr has a story about watching it on TV.
Hello, Folks!
In defense of Hardy and Wallen, my country band opened for both of them a few years ago and they were incredibly nice to us. They definitely had no obligation to even talk to us, but they and their bands spent a bunch of time with us (we are not a big act), and even gave our lead singer and his family free front row tickets to a later show that year when they found out he was gonna be in the same city as them.
P.S. (and nobody has to read this part on the show) I think Dusty would really enjoy the Haunted Cosmos podcast if he hasn’t already listened to it. It’s a Christian podcast about aliens, bigfoot, angels, demons, and other cryptids. It seems right up his alley and I genuinely think he would enjoy it!
My first thought, when Nate mentioned the disappearing goldfish, was has Laura been learning sleight of hand from Nate's dad??🤔
I'm surprised no one has brought up water polo as the sport to play and easily blend in. Every time I've seen that sport, everyone looks similarly lost and frantic. Dusty and Nate could easily blend in with water polo. Even if Dusty's 4' 8" (Briglebee made me laugh out loud with that one)!
First of all I want to say that all 4 of you guys are AWESOME together. I have enjoyed some of the guest hosts, but none as much as you 4. I hate to break it to Aaron, but he already owes Dusty a Papa Johns card. People have married their pets already. I read an article years ago where a lady married her cat. I ran a search on the old Google Machine to see if I could find that article, only to realize that there are a MULTITUDE of reprobates who have married their pets. Enjoy the Pizza Dusty, and all of y'all Keep Up the GREAT Work.
I think we’re going to need an octopus episode soon. Aaron seems like he has a lot to say about it 😂
I did not expect that strong reaction 😂 love it
Dusty Slay aka The Worm Wrangler; We’re havin’ a good time! 🙂
Hey guys, as usual, the best shows are when the four of you are together. I was wondering if when Dusty shops from marketplace, do any of the people ever recognize him? I would love it if Dusty showed up my house to buy a bathtub.
I wish I had a neighbor that would rake my leaves and take them away.
Nate comparing Brian to the starter character of a video game is one of THE best metaphors I’ve ever heard!
I grew up in Miami Beach and we had milk delivered to our house weekly by the local dairy company, MacArthur milk, up until around 2008. The milkman would deliver on credit and my dad would pay him monthly! Maybe that’s why they stopped all milk delivery at the Great Recession?…
