hello folks welcome to the Nate Land podcast I am Nate Bargetzi and I'm here with Brian Bates and Aaron Weber welcome welcome everybody welcome hello folks again uh i was thinking you know it's funny to think like uh well i'm probably not just talking about ads but uh yeah no no i don't make fun of the ads that we were that to read is like stuff that like you know how we either use or uh you used indeed like or it's a big main thing but uh people think like don't listen like you know if they complain about ads and podcasts and you're like dude if you like the we listen to radio dude it was just ads like tv is just at like it was like if you're older you're like what are you taught like if you could be delivered the ads like the way you can in a podcast and all stuff you would be like

at my age you're like that's unbelievable yeah yeah and it's crazy and like so it is always it's funny to think we like serious xm was supposed to be that. The whole point of that was to be no ads. They're all ads. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. There are a ton of ads. Yep. And I never understood that because you're like, well, you're paying for it.

It'd be like if Netflix started doing ads. And you're like, oh, I thought the point of this was. Some of the Hulu, they use ads, man. Yeah, they get great. I mean, movies now, when you go to the movie theater, there's more and more ads in front. That was never a thing before. Just trailers, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, Hulu, even if you pay, they still show you an ad? You can pay for no ads. But yeah, the base plan. Well, yeah, the base plan I get. Yeah, that's the system. Like YouTube is like you can pay for no ads.

That's what I mean, though. It's like if you pay for no ads, then you get no ads. But Sirius, the whole point of it was there was going to be no ads. They don't have to. There's a subscription. That was the whole point of it. I thought, I think, when it came out. I remember Howard Stern went over there and they, you know.

No ads. Yeah. And then it's like, went over there and they, you know. No ads. Yeah. And then it's like, well, we still got to do something. You know, and you're like. Come on. We got to do a couple. Make some more money somewhere. Yeah.

Yeah. It's interesting. Ethan Anderson. Last ad we ever do. Ethan Anderson. Gentlemen, I've been trying to catch up on the podcast for the past couple months after discovering it. podcast for the past couple months after discovering it i like i just when i read something i can make it be like it's about to be over and there's you know i've been trying to catch

on podcast for the past couple months after discovering it and after discovering it just well yeah yeah starting like i my rhythm i really bail out on this rhythm like i get i start to I should be like, I've been trying to catch up on the podcast for the past couple months after discovering it. Like that. And I'm like, I've been trying to catch up on the podcast for the past couple months after discovering it. Just want to check into the latest episode to see how much the show has changed. Turns out pretty much everything is the same from the beginning.

Nate is still barely able to speak beekeeper still worried naren is still the grill master keep up that fantastic uplifting content god bless there we go there you go zero character development uh we are what we are amber cunningham hi guys i'm a teacher from Alabama. I listen to your podcast on the commute to school each morning. Your podcast is great because I no longer have to plan lessons. I now just teach whatever is on the podcast. By the way, I'm supposed to teach landforms next month.

It would be really great if you could do a podcast on that. Big fan. Keep up the great work. What's landforms? It's like canyons mountains plateaus yeah I'll do that yeah we could do that

you might not want to teach what is this episode it's gonna be conspiracy theories this is a conspiracy theory yeah maybe don't teach this good luck with this one

Amber let them know that's what Amber should do that'd be great if she goes in that day and she goes did we did we not land on

the moon? Welcome Dusty Slade. Dusty comes in. Hey, kids. I'm not buying a lot of stuff that's in this room. Yeah. He goes, we're all having fun. He goes, this globe you got right here. He goes, you think that's it? All right, we're having a little fun.

Middle Earth, we'll tell you. Yeah, I don't know about all that. Lindsey Hansen. I took my son to school for basketball camp and realized I had forgotten my payment. I told him I'd go find some money in the car. I got in and started rummaging all over for cash. Couldn't find any, so I went back to tell my son to go to camp

and I'll bring the money later. Went back out to the car and started searching some more. The more I searched, the more clues I saw that something was not right. There was snorkeling gear in the back seat, an air freshener I'd never seen, snacks that were not mine. Then I panicked, and it looked like I was trying to rob them. I got out, looked around to make sure no one saw. I'd gotten into this other car two times with a mission to find as much cash as possible.

So glad I didn't find any. Man, that's very funny. That's hilarious. Yeah. How much cash do you keep loose in a car, Lindsey? Like even in your own car. Yeah. Are you like, to pay for a basketball, I mean, how much is a basketball camp?

40, 60 bucks? Yeah, at least. And you're like, all right, I'll go find some cash in the car. I got 60 bucks of cash, of loose cash. Lindsey, you need to get your own car situation settled. How much is $120? I run to the car, I go find some loose cash. Just under the seat?

Just under the seat. I found $500. That's how much money the Hanson family has. There's two grand under my... I just don't want to get it. I usually just, with a vacuum, I clean it up. What do I care? Caitlin Blanchard.

We know the Blanchard family. Oh, the Blanchard family is back for more trouble. You talk about comedians who don't like their audience. This may be a stupid question, but how can you tell? I'm a huge, if you don't know, you're the audience they hate. I'm a huge stand-up fan. I've seen many comedians over the years, and I don't know what I've ever experienced a show

where the comedian was clearly unhappy to be there. Is it obvious? Is the comedian simply being rude and angry with the audience? Sometimes that's the comedian's thing, so I wouldn't necessarily pick up on it. Just curious what the experience would be like. You know, there's no way. I don't think you would know it being there.

That's the job of a comedian is to have. They do love telling jokes. Maybe if you had some old catchphrases from a show and people were still yelling them out. Yeah, it was like, I don't want to say, even The Office. Dwight, I remember Dwight. What's his name? Rainn Wilson.

Rainn Wilson. They asked him once about people coming up. On Fallon, I think. Yeah, on Fallon or Conan. Yeah. And he was like he didn't like it, like in whatever. And it's like that kind of thing where it's like, does he hate the people that watch The Office?

No. Are they tired of people? Then probably. I don't think they're – like in the weird way, you want to be like, well, you should still be appreciative of it. Try to remind yourself to keep being appreciative. Yeah, I don't know if there's a way i i don't know if you would i don't know if there's a way to know i mean i don't want to say who i think but it's you know i just yeah if they i think some people don't want to be their audience like their audience

that comes out to see them they're like i don't want to they don't realize they are that yeah and they don't want to be that and so when they look in the they look out to see them, they're like, I don't want to. They don't realize they are that. Yeah. And they don't want to be that. And so when they look out there at the crowd, they're like, I don't want to be this. And this is what I am. And so they're like, I'm better than this. And I think, but that's what pays the bills. And that's where you make money. So I'll keep writing for this.

But just I know that I'm not this. That's how I look at it. So I don't know who that, take that for whoever it is. It's Bill Cosby. Matthew Hawkins, just an update on my bombing career as assistant to the junior high principal. I was asked by our second and third grade counselor to come speak to the students,

including my daughter about fairness. Before it's's my turn they play a video of a guy who looked like tom petty playing a guitar and singing about fairness once the video was over i grabbed the mic and said to a bunch of eight and nine-year-olds was so who knew tom petty dabbled in kids music huh straight crickets except for one teacher about my age from then i stuck to the top i'll stick to my day job yeah that's tough that's hilarious do it to eight nine year olds i know i tell jokes to harper i was like she goes i think it's a i think it's an adult joke i don't get it yeah we doubled down what a bunch of tom petty fans is this a tom petty concert i guess I crossed the line should I say

Neil Young I'm just trying to run down a dream up here and I can start quoting songs Jimmy Miller Nate I noticed that you wore

your wedding ring on the special but you never wear it on your podcast do you only wear it when you're traveling to keep the ladies from constantly

but it was uh but like like i don't want you to be like where's his ring sometimes i'll forget it but i've never been a big ring guy and so i wish i could i thought about the tattoo thing like i would almost like that better but i just i like not having tattoos and then uh so i just kind of don't wear it i mean you know i always joke like i mean i talk about she's here she's producing this i give there's what else do you want you know this is a point yeah i mean what else do you want you want a picture of a symbol of our love get what i gotta i gotta walk around with her face on my shirt i go i'm married to her. We wake up every day.

She's there. No. I don't ever. I'm not a big ring guy. You wear yours all the time? I do, but I forgot it. Yeah. Forgot it today.

Not all the time. Forgot it all this past weekend. I think most people don't take it off. You don't take yours off. No, I do. Yeah. You think I learned my lesson after that first week. Yeah.

I almost lost it, but I take it off every day. I can't wait to take it off when I get home. I know. So that's why I don't, because it's like, I think about it. So mine's in my, I don't even have mine. Mine's on the tour bus right now, which is not here. So it's in the. It's at Ricky's house.

Yeah. Yeah. It's not. Yeah. I have it. So I, and I put a watch and a ring on right before I walk on the stage. And that's the only time I wear it. A little something going on outside.

That's about to fall. Yeah. This is, everything's falling apart the whole system's breaking so i don't wear a wedding ring keep going nate keep going dave mallin malone mallin mallin probably mallon like fallon yeah dave mallon nate a few months ago my family and I saw your show in Hershey, Pennsylvania. We lived nearby and left to get to Hershey a couple hours early so we could grab a bite to eat for the show. Welcome back, Aaron. On our way there, we passed a tour bus and I quipped, I wonder if that's Nate's bus. Seems like he's cutting it a little close to showtime if it is.

When we got to the theater, I walked to where the performers buses park And sure enough it was the same bus we passed Do you normally only get to shows A couple hours before showtime We usually go Earlier It depends I forget where we were before Hershey

But sometimes you're just getting there You gotta get there Yeah it would have been a couple hours before But sometimes the bus could already be there Like it drops you off and it drove us back to the hotel or something like that sometimes that stuff can happen uh so usually the bus can be there a little bit like you know for merch chase that sets up a merch uh he he's got to be he's got to start setting up like two two and a half hours for doors open. If doors open at 6, it's like 3.34 or something.

He's got to be out there. Sometimes you can be cutting it close. Sometimes you won't be. Sometimes I won't be dressed into my clothes. The first act will be on, but I'll be on the bus. I'm outside or in the green room. Then I'll start getting ready for the show that close to time I always like that

I always think it's funny to think like I've taken a shower been like I was you know I talked about that like you're just like

I was in the shower you know and now I'm in front of like I've done it where you're like you do a show in a hotel and you're like 20 minutes ago

I was taking a shower and now I'm in front of 500 people it's crazy John Kidwell
