The Nateland Podcast - 290: Nateland | Ep #290 - Cruises [A Nateland Reunion]

Episode Date: February 20, 2026

It's the reunion some said would never happen but after almost a month, Nate, Brian, Aaron, and Dusty reunite on the Nateland At Sea cruise to record a new episode of the Nateland Podcast. The guys learn about the history of cruise ships while sharing their own experience on the Nateland At Sea cruise. 

Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, after 289 episodes of the Nate Land podcast, they've called it quits. Some people are saying it's an end of an error, but you are in for a treat because welcome to the Nateland podcast reunion. Breakfast, baby. Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I am Nate Bergetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, and Dusty Slay. And Dusty Slay. Okay.

You know, they said, this would never happen, the reunion tour. Yeah. It's been almost three weeks. Yeah. They said they're too old. And there's a lot that's happened since we've last been together. Yeah, we put out one episode of the new podcast. So I figured it's time.

But Brian's power still out. I think. Well, I was about to say, what the biggest thing's having me is, I've moved in with Nate. Yeah, we got Harper, got some, uh, uh, babysitting. Yep. Villanore. She killed it. He paid her. Uh, he's blaming the storm, but he didn't pay his bill, I think. Yeah. He doesn't want to tell his wife, he can't just keep on. It's a storm. He goes, Harper watching Eleanor is more important. Yeah. What was it like having me as a roommate? Uh, it was great. You popped over.

came, hung out like we had dinner. We've been friends for very long time. So it was, you know, I didn't mind it. I'd like to have you there. Yeah, it was, you know, it was a fun time I was gone during a good bit of it, so that helped. But, yeah, you know, Laura loved it. We loved it.

You, Ruth and Eleanor, always happy when some, it's like, you know, Happy mistake. I don't know how. What's that thing? Is that? Happy accident. No, mistake works too.

I think mistake works too. Happy mistake. Ah, I miss this. Well, one night we're hanging out the house, watching a little TV, and I'm like, hey, you know, the Grammys are on. And you're nominated for Best Comedy Album, Nate. And he's like, am I?

I? I was trying not to remember, because I was just like, you know, you're going to lose. Like, just it's better just to kind of forget. So we literally turned it on and like we didn't know if they'd already announced the category or not. And we're looking online. And it was the very next one. Yes. We even, yeah.

I mean, I was like, we looked up. I used AI. Because I was like, did they announce it? And I looked up, Google AI said I won. And I was like, you know what? And I'm like, I don't know. And then I went to chat GPT and it said Bill Burr won. And so then I was like, I don't know what's on.

Why are you using AI for this? To predict the futures, Google who the winners are. Well, when you do that, it's put you to a website of just like, well, you've got to go through everything. And it's hard to tell what's already happened. what has them. Mine is the reason I didn't go to it, I would have went,

when I was nominated the first time I did go to it, but they do it in the pre-grammys. We're not in the regular show. So you're in the pre-show. That pre-show is very, very long. By the time they get to, and I just, I was like, I was already gone a long time,

so I just needed to come home. But you're in this room where, like, by the time I would have been announced, I mean, there's maybe 30 people in that room. So, and if it's like a 500 seat place, everybody's moved on to the real Grammys. So I would have walked up and had to think everybody almost in the room with just Brian and my wife. But with strangers. So it was better just to sit with them.

And it just worked out like that. Yeah, if you notice the video that I shot, it starts very low because I didn't want Nate to know I was recording in case he didn't win. And so I had it down by my side. You saw it just pop up and then come back down. But I knew you were going to win because on our New Year's Eve episode of the podcast, I predicted it. You did. You did. You've nailed it.

Yep. Yep. And then also since we've been together, it's been so long, your movie has moved to the summertime. Yes. Yeah. May 29th, 8th, 9th. 29th. 29th. Yeah, it's a big deal.

At first I was mad. Like, I don't know movies, so I'm like, why he's moving it? But it's summer release, so it just shows that they believe in the movie. And so they put it kind of, they put it in the summer. And so, yeah, it's going to be, it's very exciting. These guys are in it very quickly. Them two are in the movie. That's all we need.

Yeah, you made it. You did make it. I thought we were going to make it now. There's still a chance. Is that a guarantee now? You know that for sure? I would like to make one phone call, but I, I'm, like, I'm, oh, I'm, you are, I'm almost, I'm, just because you're putting me.

We're for sure gone. You feel like I'm in. No, you just put me on the spot. I am, 75% you're in the movie. And, no, no, it does. It starts with you guys. you're in the movie, and Dusty's in the movie. So everybody, yeah.

It was a big deal. I wouldn't have let them cut you guys. I would have let this movie burn to the ground before they got... That's why I got moved to May because he's been fighting for you. Yeah. Thanks, man. Yeah. So in May 29th, you want to see their acting debut?

I should say Aaron and Brian's side face acting debut. No. I'm joking. That would be funny. It's just air, it's all Aaron and just a little of Bates. And they go, but you're in it. No, it's both of them. They're both great.

And Dusty's got a, you can see a little hairdoot from Dusty, which is, he did some, we put him in some wardrobe. Yeah, we got a little wild with it. It's a good job. I didn't think about it, but when we did the blocking for it, I was a little bit in front of Aaron. And now I guess I understand why. reasons.

It's, no, it's thing, yeah. It's stuff appears closer in the mirror than it's funny. And it works the same way with cameras. So, yeah. That's just show business. You know, that's not, that's not even a joke. That's just how, well, while you've been gone,

we started the Public Figures podcast. I know. Great. Yep. I heard it's rocking. Aaron, is there anything you want to say about the sun, uh, sunrising over the Pacific?

Oh, yeah. I watched the sunrise over the Atlantic this weekend, I'll tell you that. Yeah. I got some geography wrong. A lot of cartographers that listen to the show. I'm glad y'all are helping me out.

They were mad, we didn't catch it. They were mad that me and Bronchers. Brian didn't catch it. I didn't catch it. I just thought it was just aering and joint. What are cartographers? The sun doesn't come up anyway. It just kind of goes over.

Right, right. Right, right. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And I think we proved that on this shit. That was the whole point of this script, was just to get everybody on thinking. Yeah, I mean, get with it.

But what is a cartographer? Like a map guy, they draw maps. they draw maps. Oh. How do we have a lot of map draw? I mean, how often of a job? I bet it used to be a bigger deal back in the day. Now we pretty much, you know, we've all.

Like now is it like, are you guys struggling for work? Because you're like, you're just like, hey, I've got a new map of Tennessee. And they're like, yeah, we kind of all do, man. All right. So I've got to tell you, I've already hosted bingo in here this morning. And, yeah. And there were people lined up so early. Where are those girls from West Virginia?

Oh, right up front. What time did y'all get here? Before eight. Oh, man. Goodness. Wait, were you dancing last night, too? Yeah, because I saw you last night. At like 2.30.

Well, that's a story right there. Yeah. That's where I went to the silent disco. My, it's been very, yeah, it's very fun. I have heard a lot of great things about it. And so we went to it pretty late. She was there. It shows other, and you listen, you dance.

It's very funny to take it off and then just listen to everybody because it's basically everybody at their worst and best. I mean, loud singing. My nephew Caleb, boy, he was getting after it singing so loud. But the kids, my daughter left, all the kids loved it.

It is a very fun, it's funner than you think. Are they all listening to the same thing? You can. There's three different channels, and so you can kind of go back. So people could not be listening to the same thing. But then you see, once you see a lot of like green on the headphones. Oh, okay. And everybody's kind of like got a song they like, or then, you know, red, blue. I'm sure yours would have just been off.

You're just standing in the middle with them off. No, you'd be listening to a Civil War documentary. Yeah, yeah. What are you listening? You got your AirPods in, listening to Ben Cruz. I don't know, what's that guy's name? Ben Cruz? Burns.

Ken Burns? Ken Burns. I honestly thought you meant Ben Rector. Ben Wrecht is the man But Ken Burns could be on there too Yeah I like Ben Cruz I did mean Ken Byrne

And I just said It's like you said Ben and you're like I can't think he was last name What am I'm a cruise? We're on a cruise I love Lamp Dusty What you've been getting into

Well I did a seven-hour meeting greet yesterday. And I've also smoked seven cigars in the last two days. So if you can have a cigar hangover, that's what I have right now. I'm pretty smoked up. I think I would do another

when I get out of here, though. I feel good. This is giving me some energy. I'm feeling good. Coming to life. I texted Dusty yesterday morning asked him if he wanted to walk over into Mexico.

And he's like, I'm out here smoking a cigar. I go to Mexico. hang out there for a while, come back in, running to you. We hang out for quite a while. I go to my room, take a nap, come back. Dusty's still out there smoking a cigar. Oh, yeah. It was party time at the pool yesterday.

Yeah. Yeah, the pool was hot yesterday. Yeah. I got a little sun just on this side of my face. I got a little tan line from my hair. I don't know if you could see that. Yeah. I thought I was protected.

Feels good because my face is always a little red, and I think people are concerned about me medically. But now, I can just say I'm sunburned. Yeah. I like that. I like to be a little sunburned all the time. Yeah.

A lot of vitamin D. We played basketball yesterday, like six of us. Mike Vecchio and Greg Warren. Have you ever seen those videos in Russia where they play basketball and they tackle each other? That's Mike Vecchio and Greg Warren guarding each other.

It's just neither one of them. It's just four. just jamming each other. There's no finesse game with those two guys. No finesse. You give them a ball. Vecione will just pick the ball up and move around. Like, sometimes when you see someone play a sport and you're like,

oh, they don't know the rules at all. Like, he'll dribble and then grab the ball and then walk. And then dribble again. And you're like, I mean, are you on earth? Like it's And But we Yeah

Our team won It did a little game Winning shot Over Christ Which meant The most Yeah Well college tennis

Player And showed them A little something Little church Basketball move And you got to play With a net There's a net

Over the top of it So you can't really Shoot High Because it just hits The net So you got to throw line drives.

You guys have a favorite moment on the cruise so far? No, we're not done. It could still happen. I think we've got to say, all right, I've said it in my shows if you've been to it, but I think it's you guys and your interaction just with us and all the comics.

That's been in my favorite part. It's, yeah, thank you. So, I mean, the fact that we're just a podcast, and we're on a cruise now, is bananas. I think I've had my picture made with almost everyone in this room. And a few of them actually asked for it. I think Brian's looking forward to go home and be back in privacy the rest of the year.

And it's... Dang. Brian did come hang out with me for about. five minutes yesterday and he goes, I gotta go, I gotta go. I mean, Joe Zimmerman was like, they keep talking to me about birds. Like he's, he goes, I've never got to talk about birds this much.

But that's the sincere answer. I would like, is there any fun, like, you know, that has, does not a sincere heart felt like a funny answer. Well, I missed, I think you guys were all at the Spelling Bee. The Spelling Bee was a lot of fun. I got knocked out. Well, with, I spelled contagious,

but the word was conscientious. Conscientious. Yeah. Dusty, you did a great job on the belly flop. Yeah, I like that. I also like all the art and costumes that everybody comes up with. It's pretty awesome.

A lot of great shirts and pictures. And I'm like, stuff I, you know, references I don't get from the podcast. but... I've met a lot of sore cigores that I don't know if I... Oh, yeah. I don't know how many I believed. Franklin?

Penguin. Penguin. I've gotten some penguins. I've gotten some penguins, too. I got some penguins, too. Harper got a penguin. She was showing me last night. Yeah, a lot of penguins.

So a lot of fun stuff. There was a guy that had a shirt with everybody looking up, and then he had a hat with a donkey on it, about to jump off. Yeah, yeah. Which I thought was the craziest thing I'd ever seen. And then it's explained that's a podcast reference. Yeah, yeah. Or stand up, something.

I don't know, somebody does that. Is he in here? Yeah, there he is. He saw the game winning shot. I hit. But the belly flop was great. That was his favorite part. I'm making that up for him.

But that was his, I would imagine, just the smoothness. It was off one foot, low. All right, we don't have to get it. The belly flap was great. I think we really abused people, though. You know, they did a full round of hurting themselves, and then we go, I don't know, a little too close to call.

Do it again. That's my biggest miss. I had something, and I didn't get over there, and I wish I could have went to the belly flop. Because when you guys came back from it, I mean, you were like, y'all just had so much fun judging that. It was good. I wish you ought to have made that. You know, we had to, because we practiced the greatest average American show,

yet we rehearsed it yesterday on stage in the pool deck. And that turned out being fun because we thought we were like, you know, we didn't know how many people were going to get off the boat or on the boat, so we just didn't think that many people would be here. But a good amount were still on. And so then we just, like, ran the game show. So that was fun, kind of a little impromptu, kind of, you know. It's the fun stuff is like this to me.

I mean, we all love doing stand-up. I like doing stand-up, but then this little weird, dispelling B like that, like I definitely, if it happened again, would want to be in more of that stuff. That's the, I think the very, you know, it's the funnest.

Yeah. Do it again! Okay. That's what we don't get at a, you know, a regular podcast type, that at us. I like that, that's good. Or laugh or smile. I mean, so this is... Yeah. We've had a guy fall asleep once. We get a lot of... We get a lot of... Let's wrap it up. Well, this is my first ever cruise, so I didn't know what to expect.

Yeah. From a guy that looks like he's been on a few of them. I don't know why that's funny. I don't know why that's funny, but it is. No, that is true, though. But it is. You would think he's been on a couple, though. I think you would love cruises. I think if a cruise fits you...

I don't know how I can live up to this. Like, now I'm just going to normal cruise. Yeah, but I think if you and Ruth and Eleanor went on a cruise, I think you're... It's like... I said you should go to Disney Cruise with Eleanor. Disney's very fun. I've been to every, I pop around to every show,

almost every comic on the boat, including myself, has had a joke about the toilet in our room. I had a joke about it. You had one, Dusty, you had one? What's the joke? That joke crushed, though. What was your joke?

It's not getting old with people. I said that I'm afraid that I'm going to get sucked into the toilet. Yeah. You don't want to bend down in there. If my hair gets caught in there, I may never get out of that thing. Yeah.

I just want to be done. I don't want to know about the situation where your hair is that close to it. You never know. You never know. You never know. I had, did you have, I had, I had one that it, like, it, uh, first day, it took me a minute to find it where I was like, where is it? Yeah, where to flush it.

I was like, is it not in the bathroom? And then I- It's in the Norwegian Cruise Line app. Yeah, yeah. You gotta download that. It's $240 a day to get it, but then you can flush from you. Then you can flush.

Unlimited flushing. I said, but then I said that that tool was invented by a woman because they make you put the seat down to flush it. So. That's funny. That's funny. Gary Veter was on my show,

and he said he was sitting on the toilet chewing gum, and he flushed and he was no longer chewing gum. That's a great one. Do we want to get in these comments? Why is that ball here? Oh, I haven't even noticed it. Chewing gum on the toilet is weird, though, huh? Yeah.

I don't think so. I think it might have been for a comedic effect. I mean, maybe dipping, but... I don't know what that ball is. Okay. That's the sun? Oh, it's the sun, yeah. Now, it's flatter than that, but...

Oh, it's heavy. Some kind of old. And it's to the west setting. Oh, it is, yes, to the west of us. All right. All right, let's start it off. Do you guys comments? Now, all these people should be on the...

I don't know if they're in here, but we'll see. I would love that they write in on a comment, and they're like, I'm not going to go. Well, yeah. I pull some of these. Some of these are old. Oh, yeah. Yeah, when he says the name, yell if you're here,

so I know whether to make fun of you or not. So, yeah, so he doesn't have to do it online. He would like to get it over with in person. Yeah. Scott Elliott. Yep. Well, they're samovcasting this in every... Oh, okay.

That's my brother. Oh, that's your brother. All right. Is he here? Oh. Is it in the Spinnaker? They're broadcasting it in the Spinnaker. Oh, okay.

Spinnaker sounds like a rain room. Yeah, it's a lot going on. Yeah. Scott Elliott's in there proud, but he's trying to convince everybody he's Scott Elliott in that room. He's showing his ID. He goes, look.

And he goes, well, it says Scotty. What Iron Man was for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Nateland Podcast was for the Nate Land Universe. I don't even know if I understand. All right. What Iron Man was for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Nate Land Podcast was for the Nate Land Universe. It launched it all and will always hold a special place.

So it's very sweet. It's nice. Thank you, Scott. And then I came in about Iron Man 2 when it started to dip a bit. We were the first. Yeah, yeah. We were the first Iron Man.

Becca Furches. Furches, you're here. I have a friend that saw Nate for the first time in Philly. She said she met Nick Novicki because he was sitting in their seats. That's a sentence that describes Dick more than any today. He was super apologetic but also hilarious.

They didn't know he was going to be doing some comedy. This was her family's intro to the Nateland world and they absolutely loved it. One of her favorite parts was watching her teenage son laugh the whole time. That's so wonderful. Yeah, Philly was... Nick was so funny in the Philly show. He was funny on stage, but like sitting. Because Vecione had, you know, lived in Philly for a long,

so he had a bunch of local Philly jokes. And so he's like naming zip codes and area codes. And everybody's going crazy. And Nick went to Temple, so he knows the references. So he's just sitting there. He's like, oh, my gosh. He's like, that's right across the river. That's why that's so funny.

Like he was like an audience, remember, just watching the show. Like, there's a guy here named Dan that's been getting confused for Nick a lot, and he told me people have been taking pictures with him, and he's just been accepting it. Yeah. Is Dan, he's not in here. Is Dan here? You are? Dan's worked.

You've had to do a ton of work. Because they put Dan, my dad, like, I met Dan earlier. I'm like, you don't have to work. He's a part of the show If you've been to my dad and Nick and Dan's show I mean, they've crushed it. Yeah.

Is he, yeah, you want to come up here? Yeah, come up so you can, everybody can meet Dan. Just put him to work some more, you know? Yeah. You don't have to work, but get up here. Yeah, get this orb off the stage for us While you're up here, please.

All right, here he comes. Yeah, I mean, he was like, we met in the meet and greet, and I mean, I was like, because I was like, my dad's going to make him work. And then Nick was going to Dan being like, hey, you don't have to do this if you don't want. But he was, he loved it, and he was just a giant part of their show. And like, I mean, so we are not paying him.

That's only fair, like, because he was an ad on late. Here he is right here. He was a surprise guest. Come on up here, Dan. Everybody can see ya. There he is. Okay, big damn. Hello, hello.

Approached you first about doing the show. Well, people automatically were, they were just thinking I was Nick, like, you know, in the line. And then I saw Nick immediately, and he said, your dad, thought it was a great idea. Yeah. And some, you know, some, we still have another show, so I don't, you know, you're ruining it right now. But people were coming up to me after the show, they had seen the show, and they go, Nick, that was a great show.

They still think, I mean, it's unbelievable. Yeah, so. Dude, you're the best. He's got another show. Give it up for Dan. He's awesome. He's got it. And it is, if you're going to that show,

just, yeah, it is so funny that he's, he ruined it. That's, it's so funny. I didn't even think about that. So be surprised, don't tell my dad. Your dad's watching this right now, pretty mad. Oh, he's furious. He's going to talk to day and he go,

you're not on late show. I mean, he's at a show every night. He just came to come on vacation. He's had an intent show every night. He's killed it, though. Uh, Robin, Buffington, Gobble. Okay. All right.

Is that real? That's not a real name. You don't think Buffington's real? The Gobble put it over the edge for me. She here? All right. Is that real? Y'all are the gobbles?

Okay. Okay. Are y'all from, uh, is Buffington in town? Y'all have a lot of money. You own Buffington? Buffington Palace? But, but...

Okay. You know that Buffington family, we might be on their boat, you know. Dusty tells it like it is, no filter. I would like to know if Brian, Aaron, and Nate do the same male habits Dusty admits to. For instance, peeing in the yard, which is foreign to a lot of women. Surely Brian, our token gentleman refrains. I've been peeing off the balconies. Yeah.

That's where the mist have been coming from. It's a slow mist. Comes and goes. It comes and goes. Just for the record, too, I'm staying somewhere different than these three. We're on different parts of the boat, so I'm down like Jack and Titanic.

I'm down there in him, and they're up there with Kate Winslet. That was a request from me and Aaron. that, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But for the record, Robin, there is a little bit of a filter. I mean, I also pee in the sink sometimes.

And don't tell my wife. Yeah. Yeah, I've peed in the yard. I've never, a bottle I couldn't do. I just couldn't do that. Oh, I've peed in everything. Peeing a bottle? I think we've talked to that.

You've done it. I mean, if you're on a road trip, sometimes you're, you know, you run out of options quickly. quickly. There's a whole, it's the world. It's trees. But let's say you're, there's traffic, you're on the interstate and there's traffic and you don't want to step out and pee in front of everybody. I would wreck my car into the woods. Yeah, in a car, I've, you know, at one time peed in a bottle on my pants and the car seat. Oh, at one time. It's tough to do. I was, did I, did I ever tell this?

I don't know if I ever told this story. But I remember one time being at like O'Hare Airport. And there was a guy where everybody's peeing in their urinals. And there's a guy next to me. And I guess a little pee hit him in the face. Oh. Yeah. And it could have been from him.

You know, it can send those bounce off the urinals and get jumpy. Yeah, yeah. But I was next to him. It wasn't me. But he looked, he just, he pinned himself back, and he looked at me, he goes, it hit me in the face. He, it was like a zombie, he goes, what do I do? He hit me in the face, because what do I do?

It was the most panic. And I'm just like, I don't know, man. Because I was like, that was a joke I could never. I was like, I never could make, you know, I just didn't want to be doing some pee joke on the stage. But it worked out there. Yeah, that's pretty good. Have you ever been filling up a bottle and realize,

uh-oh, I've got more coming than I thought? Oh, yeah. Do you swap out with us? I mean, I don't know how there's more coming out than going in sometimes, but I've got coffee from a gas station, drank the coffee, then peed in the cup, and I was like, this is pretty close to the same thing. Okay, we're having a good time.

All right, any more peeing jokes? Well, I will say when I've been here... Oh, man, you get dusty in the green light here. I've been drinking nonstop de Sani. I don't know what's happened on this ship specifically, but I pee so many times in the night, and this doesn't happen normally. But I get up, and I think I pee like a gallon of water,

and then I go to sleep without drinking anything. and then wake up later and pee another gallon of water. I don't know where it's at in my body. But obviously that's not a shared experience with the audience here. But maybe a medical issue. That's a new medical thing now that they're going to... There is a doctor on board. Yeah.

He gave me some advice already. You just got into it with him. Yeah, he told me I should be washing my hands more often. So you checked out pretty much. much right after that. Julie Culp. Julie Culp, when there are back-to-back shows offered

on the same day, do you suggest the earlier or late show or does it not matter? Are there benefits to seeing the later show because you tweaked what didn't land on the earlier show? Or do you as performers feel like you're rushed or have low energy for the later show because you're ready to wrap up and get to the next city? No, I don't, when I

I mean, now my early shows will be in the afternoon, there'd be like three. But I mean, back in the day when it would be late, it's like, all the difference would just be, the later shows could be a little rowdier because people maybe have, you know, had a little more fun than they have more time to have fun. Yeah, it depends on how well you're selling tickets.

Yeah, this is, Nate's like, which sold-out arena show is better than the other. They're all degrees of unbelievable. You got a question about bad shows. Me and Brian, you can talk to us after the show today. Again. What? Drag me into this.

I'm sorry. But if the early show sells, then it's going to be great. Sometimes the late show doesn't sell as well, so either there's less people or it's a lot of free tickets. So it can get pretty rowdy, and that can be better. If it's, I would say, advice go into comedy shows, it's like the earlier show if you want to go

just really watch the person's act and it's probably going to be able to get through it that's the earlier show the latest show you might think is fun because it might end up getting people yelling or you know a little more crowdworking or whatever so you have two options

but that's you know that's kind of it if you want to be like oh let's just go see now if they're selling tickets again then go to either one of them go to what you can get to but if you know that's the if you go to a comedy club.

That was a big saying, Steve Martin, because he said Dwight, I don't know if it's true, but why he quit comedy was late show Friday. And that was the joke, because that show would always be the rowdiest, because people just got off work, and then they

go, like, hammer drinks. Yeah. And then they come that Friday, and then it's just, like, I mean, it's come to a room where they're told to be quiet for two hours. Oh, yeah. Yeah, not good. Yeah. Somebody thought it'd be a good idea. had to schedule Brian Bates and Friends shows on this cruise at midnight.

Yeah. That's kind of tough when I go to bed at 8, so. Our choice was midnight or 6 a.m. I would have chose 6. We've had, yeah, we've had, you know, the stuff, the Super Bowl was a big reason some of these shows were so late because it's like we lost, you lost a day of programming, which is still fun, you got the Super Bowl. But, yeah, I think if we did it again, it's like the show.

would be a little bit earlier. But, yeah, but I mean, y'all have come to everything. It's big, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Thank you guys. I think you gotta just admit, you're like, you're just gonna be up. We're in like an imaginary world, so you just stay up.

Sarah Elizabeth, as a teacher, I normally tell my students, man your post, when I want them to stay at their desk before dismissal. Lately I've started saying, be at your own civilian station. Also, a student of mine said, Silver War this week.

That's acceptable for a nine-year-old. I disagree. Oh, you're right here? Oh, that's you. Oh, that's you. Yeah, the Silver War's coming. You've heard my dad talk. You understand why I have trouble with some words.

Ban your post seems aggressive. I know, but you're sending them off to war. They're not. Battle stations. So your students have a substitute teacher this week because you want to go on this cruise? Oh, yeah. I love that.

And they don't even know what to, what did you tell them? Say civilian station? Oh, yeah. That's great. All right, the education system is slipping. It's West Virginia. Yeah. Jesse Rothacker.

We know Jesse is Jesse. He's the man. So he swam with a snake. Wow. And to pull in an alligator. He was, I'm trying to do the best way to word it. You were catching crabs at the beach. I think I landed on the worst way to say it, but you were...

Yeah. What, Jesse? What's the matter were you? He can't turn it off. Every lane he gets to, he's like, let's grab something. Are you allowed to bring crabs back on the boat? No. No, no.

Yeah. Nate, as you reach new level of success, do you ever worry about getting too famous where it makes everyday stuff a fiat? Fiasco. We wanted to go fiasco, but... How do you balance your career goal with your personal life

is the greatest average American? Do you and Laura ever wish you could go back or is it full speed ahead? Is there a level of fame that you would consider too much? I'd love to hear your insights on this. So, look, I mean, you know,

I started comedy. You don't know if it's going to get this big. I bet I was trying to. for it. I was, you know, I feel very driven and very, uh, I like keep going. I felt very much that I'm not doing any of it for me. And so that's the best way to, for me to keep going. It's not as much pressure on me because it's like, uh, you know, it's not about me. Uh, and then to balance it, yeah, I mean, you're, you know, it's, it's all we kind of know now. And so, uh, you know, My daughter and with Laura, like, they come to shows.

They come, they don't come to show. You know, we run and bounce. The big reason I moved back to Tennessee was I wanted my daughter to live as normal as possible and be around family and all that. And she's been doing that all weekend with her cousins. And, yeah, the level of fame you would consider too much. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's, yeah.

I don't know. It's like I just have my goals. I just have stuff that I want to go do. And so whatever comes with that, that's the weight. That's the, that's what I'll, what do you say, the weight I'll carry something. Okay. But it's like, it's like, I just figure like that's on me. If I ask for all this, I'll carry, I'll like carry the burden of it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'll carry the burden of all that if that means I can give more out. So, yeah, I'm a big belief. I was just clapping for the burden, coming up with burden. Yeah, coming up with burden. But I'm a believer in that, that like, it's not whatever this kind of stuff is, there's nothing you need to worry about.

I will carry that. And then I want to create stuff for you and your family. And it really comes from just, you know, just sitting with my daughter. or trying to watch TV or go to movies or go do something and just seeing that there's not a lot there to do. And so, yeah, you just kind of know. The weird part is, like, you kind of know sometimes, like, because people will know you,

but not everybody's going to come up to you and tell you they know you. So, like, when you go into places, sometimes you're, you know, you don't want to be, like, have an ego and be like, I know everybody, whatever. Oh, I do. Yeah. So it's, like, balancing that. but you know we live you know we have we're in a cul-de-sac you know I'm still friends with

Michael Clay is on this ship who has started comedy with like you got all my buddies from my school like you know I've stayed friends with everybody that I've ever met in my life so I think that helps ground you so you don't have to that's not insulting I think but you don't want to get caught up like just being around like you know I think like If you're, that's why it's good to live outside of some of these cities because you're not, you're not just around where all the ideas are coming from. Why should I stop talking is what you're saying? I'm sorry.

You keep going, man. Well, I think you said I've stayed friends with everyone. I stayed friends with everyone I've ever met in my own life. This is not true. But I get what you meant. I mean, Michael Clay, we started coming again. What you meant was as you, as your careers progress, it's not like you're shedding weight. It's like you're carrying everybody up the way that you've carried all of us up too.

But the way you said it was so funny that you said everyone I've ever met I'm still friends with. Your way was better. Maybe I was hitting at it. to get you to say something nice about me. Sarah Nellstetter. Nistetter. Nistetter. Is it a capital I?

Yeah, it does look like NL. I think I just mistyed, guys. Come on, let's move on. Sarah Nistetter. Is Sarah in here? She's in one of the other ones not watching. Uh, every time, wait, all right. All right.

Every time Nate says, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. It sounds like he gets tired after Nate Land. It sounds like, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. It's a lot to say. It is. Rachel, I think.

Is it Rachel or Rochelle? Rochelle? Oh, that's a great name, Rochelle Cordell. Yeah. That's the one you don't forget. A real float-to. You married into that name, or you... Because of that?

Yeah, it just fit too good. You go, I can't pass up on this name. Our family is having a debate, and we need help from the Nateland folks to settle it. Is oatmeal a cereal? No, that's... Yeah. I don't know if that came from the Cordell side, but y'all...

I want to ask you eat it dry and pour milk over it. If you eat it like that, that's cereal, huh? What? I mean, that's disgusting, but it... What was the... I'm sorry, what was the argument for it? Do you remember? Yeah, I'd like to hear, let's steal man this from the other side.

Well, there you go. Maybe the breakfast aisle, though. That's where Brian hangs out. You said a lot of people put milk in it? I don't think so. Yeah. Maybe a lot of people in the Cordell crew. but, um...

Well, we can't go by aisle. Like peanut butter is in the bread aisle sometimes. That doesn't mean peanut butter is bread. But it goes on bread. So they're doing you a favor. I mean, yeah, you're right. That's fair.

Yeah, that's fair. Give me to tell you what I did. Julian McCullough taught me. I put Rice Krispy treats in the ice cream. Pretty good. What do you mean? Like vanilla ice cream? Swirl.

Okay. You don't pass up swirl and you see, you don't get swirl too often. So when you got this amount of it, you get it. Put a Rice Krispy treat. Just to give it a crunch? Just to give it a crunch.

You're breaking them up? You're doing a little piece of? No, no, no, no. They're already small. You just pour them in there and then mix it in and bowl and eat it. Rice Krispies? Just Rice Krispies? The cereal.

Not the treat. Not like a big treat? Yeah. No, like the cereal box. Okay, that makes sense. It's pretty good. I bet some of y'all will try it. Yeah.

You should try it. And if you do tell Julian McCola that you tried it, you'll be very happy. All right. And that should be in the cereal aisle. And that's my oatmeal. Well, this week, we are talking about cruises.

First ever cruise service started in 1844. Titanic, it went down early. It was called P&O cruises. They're still in business. Really? Yep. Pino? By P&O.

I bet that was a rough cruise, man. There we go. from England to Gibraltar, Malta, and Athens. Talk a little bit farther away from, Mike. What are you talking about? I mean, I couldn't hear anything. That's what our sound guys are supposed to do. I can't do everything.

Yeah. That was better. By the turn of the century, there was seven cruise lines and service. Turn of the century, 2000? I'm sorry. 1900. There's a lot of turn of the centuries. Yeah.

It sounds like a one-time event. Cruise ships became... Don't you think it sounds like a, you know, turn of the century is like a big, big thing? You're probably only see one of them in your life. time. I'm something like not. Yeah. But you don't call two going from 1999 and 2000 the turn of the century. That's the new millennium, right? The new millennium. That's from Star Wars. That's, I don't know what you call it. Y'all, us, you stand the best chance of seeing two turn of the centuries. Oh, I mean, yeah, date wise, not physical wise.

Well, that's true. Has anybody ever seen to? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. There's a lot of vampires in the country, possibly. That's what I hear. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. He said they don't remember either.

It's an old joke. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a baby joke, which is nice and a mean old joke after it. Sweet to nice. It's Brian. Sweet to nice. No, wait, sweet to mean. Dead, gum it.

Yeah. Just cut that part out. So cruises came really popular because that was the only way people could get from Europe to North America or vice versa. But then by the 1960s, airplanes were doing pretty good. So cruise ships declined greatly. So these weren't for pleasure back then. They were trying to get somewhere. A little both, but it was a much more incentive to let's get on a...

We're trying to go to Gibraltar. No, this is when people trying to get from like Europe to Utah. United States. Oh, okay. Not like what we're doing. Like, let's just get out there and ride around them. Right, yeah, yeah.

Right, right, right. We're like doing donuts in a parking lot. But by the night, but in the 1977, a TV show called The Love Boat started. Yeah. And it brought back interest in the cruise ships because people saw it as a romantic opportunity

for couples to go on cruises. Tell us about what is, What's the love boat all about? Do you know the theme song? Love boat. Love boat. I am the love boat. If.

A three hour tour. Oh, there's... It had nothing to do with Gilligan's Island. All right. No. It went on for a long time, right? Was it like Dallas? 177 to

1986 Was it dramatic Like Dallas? No, no, no It was Like fun comedy I mean I remember

The Love Boat I didn't know It was Gavin McLeod But Isaac Yeah Your character gofer You say

But this show Changed the cruise ship industry Yeah I got people Back interested in it And they saw it As a way

Of just going A fun trip With your spouse Okay Yeah And it really Influenced Princess

Cruise line They started doing a lot of deals where they get, you know, couples, packages and stuff like that. And so it kind of took off. And now... So you can watch your wife throw up in the toilet. You make your marriage get real, real quick? Well, the first night here was brutal for me and my wife. My wife was mid-massage, started throwing up all over the place.

So just think about that if you've got no massage since then. Well. She did it in a bottle, swear by calm down. I'm sure it's very ladylike. Yeah, and then she had the masseuse escorted her up to our room, and that was it for the night. Things have gotten a lot better. The first night I performed on this stage,

felt like I was gonna fall over every two seconds. But I feel way better now. I don't know if that's me adjusting to it. So if you clap if like, clap if the boat, like you have to wear like the- I've got the patch on, yeah. Is it? All right.

I feel like it's a little less than half. Yeah. Did you have to do, did you do anything or did you just gut it out? I'm rolling, baby. It's, yeah. I got, I got. I'm fine. I think my stomach can, you know, what I put it through on land. Because the ocean's nothing.

Yeah, I've been fine too. I thought the tour bus kind of helps. Yeah, I'm used to. I'm used to. I have not been off this boat, though, because I didn't do an excursion. Like, when you got off the scourgion, are you kind of like... No, there was tremendous relief. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it felt real good. Somebody said you could get land sick, and I was worried about that, but I felt fine. Well, it can feel weird.

Yeah, we've had Stroop. Strupe was one day. They were doing the show the first night, and before he came out, he was laid on the floor like this. And then he came out. And then he said he had a great joke, because one, you might have seen it, but the boat went this way, and it went. that way and it got him and then he started just running off he goes all right i guess that's it for me so we are on the Norwegian jewel uh this ship has uh give it up for the boat guys well we should it's keeping us alive this uh the ship has a gross tonnage of 93 000

502? A what? Gross tonnage. See, that's what we're missing in a studio. Yeah. That's about one of Nate's jokes. Okay. Yeah.

But that's new. That's a new joke. Okay. So you wouldn't have heard it. Yeah. I can't wait to hear it, though. Man. I sat back and listened to

one of your shows. Oh, okay. I'm sure. I appreciate that. You were busy. Now, this, you know, this time, you know,

and I don't, you know, I don't want to burn up all the shows one night and, or, you know, three nights, but, uh. So you're like,

don't go to Nates at all. Yeah, I'm not, I don't, I don't know that I've seen any full shows. Yeah. I've been to everybody's.

I love them all, but, uh, you know, it's just nowhere to sit. That is a fun excuse. Oh, dude, couldn't watch your set. It was packed in there.

Yeah. Yeah. I had no interest in. Such a hot show. Yes. There's 12 seats behind this curtain. Yeah, but it's a lot of it's in the facial expressions. Yeah. You lose a lot with comedy when you just hear it.

Just hear it. Like records. Yeah. Or trouble. Podcast. Podcast. Yeah, you guys get it. There's a lot of people going like,

wow, this is what these people look like. This ship can get up to a maximum speed of 25.6 knots, which is 29 miles per hour. Oh. Is that really it? It felt like we were flying. According to this. Why do knots if it's really that close?

Yeah. You're going to love this answer. Okay. They use knots because it's tied to the nautical mile, a distance based on Earth's curvature. Oh, boy. Making navigation by latitude and longitude, it's simpler. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah.

So it's a cover. It's a cover. They always got to do a thing, you know. Yeah, it's 25 knots, and that's 29 miles per hour. 25.6 knots. Oh, my bad. It's 1.15 miles. Because I was looking over the edge last night

And I was thinking about Jumping? Yeah I was so sorry I'm sorry I can't You know There's a difference between

Thinking about it And considering it And I was thinking about it We're flying so fat If you hit the water The boat's past you in three seconds Oh Well that's

I could catch it I talked about it Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah.

I think you'd get ahead of it. He'd be like one of those dolphins that's in front of it. It's just the dolphin and dusty, just rolling. I, yeah, I mean, I was like, I joked about it on stage, but it was like, yeah, the life jackets have whistles, and you're like, I mean, I can't imagine anybody's going to hear that whistle. That boat's gone. We should try it as a challenge.

We throw someone out of a car going 30 miles an hour and they blow a whistle. Let's see if they can hear it. That could be a new challenge. We'll save that for public figures. This ship has been featured on episode of The Apprentice. Donald Trump required his contestants to create a 30-second.

commercial about the ship featuring both exterior and interior shots. So it's a... This very ship? This ship. Oh. Yeah. Okay, guys. Look at that.

It's famous. It was christened on November 3rd, my birthday. 2005, not my birthday. So it's 20 years old. It's a 20-year-old show. But they refurbished it last year, so it's a brand new 20-year-old ship. They get their own podcast going over there. Yeah.

It would be great if you guys join in. All right, let me just see if you guys, how many ships you can, can you name a famous ship? I'm going to start with you. Carnival? No, no, I mean like in history. Oh, well, I mean Titanic.

Okay. Dusty, I'll go to you next. A cruise show? No, any ship. Any ship. Oh, a ship. I'm trying to name ship. Like, I said Titanic.

Oh, the USS Alabama. All right. Wow. Okay, I would not be expecting that. The Lusitania. How about that? Oh, you guys are naming some, I expect you. Are you out?

Yeah. What's the one from Seinfeld? Yeah, the Andrea Doria. Yeah, I was kidding to that. Yeah, that's a real ship, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, a couple more I was going to mention, the Mayflower.

Oh, that's one. The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria. Yeah. The Edmund Fitzgerald. Oh, yeah. But the Andrea Adoria collided with the Stockholm and did fall 12 miles off the coast of the... The Black Pearl.

I'm really rolling with it now. I didn't know I knew so many ships. So yeah, you probably know that Andrea Adoria more better than any, right? She's just from Seinfeld. Yeah. Yeah. 51 people died, 1,600 survivors.

How many people die in a normal? Combercrues, 30, 40? Yeah. I did get to tell Seinfeld that joke. You did? Yeah. Like, he was, uh, like, I was just talking to him back. Because it's, it's like comedy.

Like, he doesn't really remember any of the shows because it's just been long and you're just riding so much. But I, I, I was just telling him how that's my favorite episode. Which I did an interview with him. recently and he brought up and I don't know where he would have heard it maybe this podcast or a clip or something but he really appreciated because I said you know two my favorite seasons are really the ones Larry David wasn't there and and I'm not saying they weren't like I like the other ones too but when they when I go back to episodes if I'm not thinking about one being there not being there

I don't even think I realize it but I tend to pick more of that and he was like that meant a lot to him. Wow. And so that was very nice. Like I thought it was like very, you know, because it's like I think he, you know, everybody just goes with Larry David, so it was nice to hear. And you mentioned that on an episode that these guys weren't there, so I love that too.

Oh yeah. So that's, because he told me he was, I bet you didn't think I would have seen this or heard it, but. It's when Mark Norman was on. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. So yeah. So he was, yeah, he was very flattered and yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He had a, what's that jacket? Yeah, what's the jacket? He said he got Nate's guys up there wearing leaf raking jackets. Oh. Yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah.

Raking leaves jackets. Yeah, yeah. Do you guys know how ships dump their sewage? What's that? Do you know how ships... I'm sorry. Ships dump their sewage. Do we know how they do it?

Are you going to tell us how they do it? Yeah. Okay, just do it. They let it go. They disinfect it with UV or chemicals and filter it. Yeah, sure. UV, the sun. They filter it before discharging the treatment, treated near potable quality water into the ocean.

It's often three to 12 nautical miles. It's got to be within a certain distance for, Yeah, okay. But they're dumping our poop right now. The middle of the Gulf, huh? Yeah. Yeah. But the, someone said that's why there's fish.

Well, I was getting that. That's the food. That's a different thing. Yeah. They dump the food waste. They grind it up, and then they, again, dump it. It's got to be 12 nautical miles from shore. And fish do follow the ship.

Dolphins. That's why if you fall off, you'll dive pretty quick, because they'll eat you. Not to add to the fears. Right. So like if you jump off, you'd start going sideways fast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

The fish will be like, we've not had something like this in a while. This guy's been eating a lot of chicken fingers from the buffet. Yeah. Because the fish, like, this is where it all comes. This is the earth. originator where all the stuff comes from.

Getting the source. The source. Do you know how many employees are on this ship? Do you have even a guess? 2000. That's a good that's a good guess. One of the staff here told me, 1500 and he said he's one of

seven Americans. Wow. Yeah. Seven Americans. I thought it would have been less. No, I'm joking. That just was a fun joke. I didn't mean to say it. But it's, it, I didn't really have a choice that came into, you know. Yeah, it's how you're fault. I don't want to say it.

He just says what he's told us to say. Yeah. Well, it was a good joke, so I felt like this bump was in order, but he's mildly stretching. What was your joke? Yeah. The moment's gone now. It happened. The moment passed.

Yeah. Have you got stolen anything since you've been on the ship? Have we stolen anything? Stole? Well, we haven't left yet, so it wouldn't be officially stolen yet. Okay, that's a fair point. Do you plan on stealing anything? Because since we're in international waters,

it's technically a crime of piracy. You'd be a pirate. Is that a bigger crime? Nah. Sounds cooler. Yeah. Good for the resume. I don't know.

What would you steal? Yeah, what are you thinking about taking? Yeah, a big criminal. in the Gulf. I'd like to get one of those sailor hats. I think they're made for you to take home. Oh. I don't think you got one.

Not on my floor. They don't put them that far down. They ran out. Crew ships are all called she or her. Does you know that? Like she or you call it a she or her. She her. It's a, it's a.

like they have pronouns yes they asked to be called she or her it's because they're considered maternal figures that care for the crew and the people on the ship they're protecting us so but I bet Titanic got called a hymn when he went down I think that was the first thing they yelled out he's going down

he's like oh why did you change it Also, Edmund's a tough name for a girl. Yeah, Edmund Fitzgerald? Yeah. Probably call her Eddie. Yeah. Any of the ships that crash are men. Oh, yeah?

The Edmund Fitzgerald, it went down. Edmond's a... I never met a girl named Edmund. My mom is named Edna. That's not far off, but... I think... It's a good name. Edmund?

No. Edmund Fitzgerald. Edmund. Edmund. I bet you could name a girl. But you just call her Eddie. Yeah. And that would be actually a pretty cute name.

They disagree. No? Yeah. Go with Edmund, call her Eddie, and hope for the best. You know what I mean? A little boy named Sue situation. Every cruise ship has a godmother. It's a celebrity or performer that's Katie Perry, Jennifer

Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey. Wait, has a what? A godmother, Reba McIntyre. They're all godmothers of a ship, a cruise ship. Who's this one? Melania Trump. Oh, wow. And she comes on and cleans up when we're done.

Folds the sheets. Yeah. They don't know what they sign up for. Yeah. Every ship has a morgue and a jail cell. Well, you can never be too careful. too careful. Like a drunk tank? Like at a stadium? Yeah. Yeah. Like the

Philadelphia Eagles have one? Do we have the figures on, do we have the stats on the drunk tank for this weekend? I do not. Okay. I bet we're pretty good. Every ship has a doctor, but they don't have a dentist. Okay. According to this.

That would be like I bet that doctor has to try to be a dentist. You're saying if we needed a dentist in a pinch, they would go to a doctor before they went to a regular person. Oh, well, you might ask, maybe the doctor would be like, can we at least ask if there's a dentist? And then our doctors are cocky enough to go, I can do it.

Yeah. What is it, dumb dentistry? I'll do it in a heartbeat. Yeah, if you didn't have a dentist, is there another profession other than doctor that you would prefer to help with your teeth? Oh, man. I don't know. Actually, I meant a dentist the other day.

There's at least one dentist here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. There we go. Did you bring your tools? Yeah. We put you to work on this ship.

Yeah. If you don't have your tools, could you do, could you get a tooth out with just, with just the tools of like a butter knife? Yes. You almost sound excited to try it. Yeah. R-He's already done it. The answer was no before I got on this cruise, but now it's astounding yes.

Yeah, perfect. Oh, that's a great challenge. Yeah. You could have been one of the events. Yeah. Finding volunteers for that would be tough. I think I have a broken tooth. I think I broke it one day doing this podcast,

and then I never got it checked up. What were you doing? I was picking it. It was an episode where I picked a tooth for a long time. I thought I had a piece of popcorn in there, and I think I broke the tooth. Yeah. But it's still in there,

and I just kind of worked it back down in the gums, and I... Yeah, this is why a lot of people listen. My guess is when this was going on, you weren't really dialed in with what was happening on the podcast. You know, zoned out a little bit. Yeah, the whole thing going on. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I ate some popcorn, and I thought it was a little, you know, I get a little shell stuck in there. Sure. I thought, I got to get this. And I worked it. On camera. I don't know if it's in there or not.

I never discovered if that's in there, but I do think the tooth is broken. And it's fine, though. Well, we've got a couple guys to check it out. It's fine. I like to let long strips go in between dentist visits. That way I just get it all done at once, you know. Like how long?

You got a lot of problems, and I go, yeah, I expected this. Yeah. That's why I'm here. Like once every two years? Two years. Yeah, you know, it depends on what's going on. I might drag it out for a while, and then I might go a lot of times in one year. Yeah.

I get to know people at the dentist. And then by the time I go back, they're all, you know, they've moved on to something else. I feel like your dentist wouldn't have the tools that most dentists have Yeah, I do see, I go see a holistic dentist And we get into it, we have a good time in there And he just goes, you're fine I was going to the dentist all during COVID And we were having a good time because we were complaining

And it was great I won't say what dentist office, but they were open He didn't wear his mask while he was working on you He go, ain't no mask in you here, but. I ask them to take it off. Yeah. I go, now, when you're above my mouth, just take it off.

Okay. We're having a good time, though, guys. Okay. Cruise ship goes through 20,000 ice cream cones per cruise. I believe that. You've contributed to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20,000?

Yep. It's a lot. That's 10 per person? Yeah. You don't think that's a little hot, or do you think that's the right? What, it says a large cruise ship, it doesn't say the exact size.

There's some lot bigger than this one, I guess. Okay. Oh, yeah, but I mean, yeah, this is like 10 per, yeah, I think it's normal. I haven't had 10, but cruise ain't over. Yeah, that's true. You gotta do a bowl if you're doing the Rice Krisp, thing, though. So...

Oh, yeah. I forgot it's the day right now. I just... You saying that, I go, oh, it's the daytime. Oh, yeah. I just thought it felt like night. Yeah. The sun's right here. Yeah. Didn't you get up right before you came here?

Well, okay. Thanks, time. I just kind of forgot. I forgot about it. Nate, the average cruiser gains a pound a day. Now, that might be low. Yeah. I think all these numbers are off. You tell me we're all having 10 ice cream cones,

but we're only gaining a pound. Yeah, I disagree. I think it's higher. Yeah, I would say it's higher. I think the mirrors are not good. Wait, wait, what is? You think they're skinny mirrors? No.

Oh, the opposite? What, are you out of your mind? No, and I don't. Wait, what do you mean? I mean, if they're skinny mirrors, then I've got a big problem. Because I look, if they're trying to help me out, I mean, golly, dude.

Like, I can't imagine what I get on. I think they, it's, I don't know, you just look like a mess. There's a lot of you look in there, and you're just like, go look at, look at, I think there. I think they're regular mirrors, man. I think you're at your limit, so it's like you can't.

Like, you're not going to really, you know. He'll be gone next week. Let's just deal with it. Just got to sit through another 10 minutes of this. Yeah, we thought we were done, and now it's right back. Yeah, well, we're on the Nate Land Cruise. Yeah. Crew ship.

When the public figures cruise goes, then y'all will. It's going to be. That might be a while, nice. Right now it would be one of those little ships hanging on the side of this one. Yeah.

It's going to be a little bit smaller. Down the Cumberland River in Nashville. Yeah, we go across the Mobile Bay in Alabama and back. By the time I get a cruise, people will be like, we're not really doing that anymore. You're going to need to reboot that love boat. Yeah.

I was thinking like would people just want a cruise to like stay in Tampa or something? Like you just go, like you don't go anywhere. Like a riverboat. You would always want to go. You want it to go. But if you just had it like, if you just went to a city and then just was like, let's be there for three days. And it's like a hotel room. And so then you just come on and you can decide if you want to do whatever.

Like I don't know. You know What? No, that's a resort. Yeah, but you're kind of on. What if we just went out a little bit? Yes. Easier to cruise tour.

Easier to cruise tour. That's fun. Easier to cruise to, yeah. That didn't get enough. That was a good one. Yeah. It was good. There we go.

That could get dangerous. Let's let some, yeah. Islands are having a tough. Yeah, island jokes are tough right now. Yeah. Let's let some optics move away. Yeah. And then we're talking about that.

Disney has their own island. When you go to Disney Cruise, they're they on the island. Oh, all right. Yeah, it's good. So it would be just that. The walls in our... The walls in our cabins are made of metal, and it's used...

You can put magnets on the wall like hooks to hang your clothes. Anybody doing that? Where are you, you got, they give you metal hooks? No, you can bring them. Professional cruisers know to do this. Oh, you know to bring, oh, wow. My wife was on a cruise TikTok

for like a week and bought all that stuff. She found all these, this is what you need. So we got 150 magnetic hooks. See, guys, TikTok is a good resource. Yeah. I mean, get with it. You're not allowed to bring an iron or a steamer on board. Yeah.

Learn that. Yeah, steamers should be allowed. Who travels with an iron? That's insane. That is insane. And they don't offer one, do they? On here. Yeah.

We found out they just were saying no to Brian. They go, we don't do that, sir. They've been doing that for everyone. Are you all been paying cash for food? Right when they walk in, they go, wash your hands. You're giving that guy $30 every cruise. One thing I've noticed on this, my first cruise,

but this is apparently it's a big thing. People like to decorate their cabin door with decorations. There's some fun to ones. There's a group on my floor that has magnets, of all the comedians, and they ask people to rank them from highest to lowest. Oh, wow.

And every time I walk by, I remove you and put me up there. Yeah. But it keeps going back. So it's Nate every time. Nate's always on the top? Well, one time his dad was up there. Dusty, you were at the bottom.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I wasn't asking about me. You're on your own door, brother. Yeah. You've got hold. You're alone on your own door. You're the top of your mountain.

man. I've signed some stuff on if the 11 because we walk down some hallway like a lot and so there's been I've signed a few of them and one was a whiteboard I signed and and then I did it going through

and then I come back and I watched them they're wiping everything on that was the write down your favorite Nate bit and then you signed right I signed it yeah and then we come back it's empty and I was like they just were like nah that he ruined it you did I think I signed it again that is true that is true just keeping an eye on you do they make I wonder if they make people sleep on different sides of the boat you know

like a plane like a small plane oh for weight I don't know. I know me and Aaron aren't on the same side. Where's Strupe? Is he across from you, too? If you just had one, you're like, God, we're leaning right today. And he's like, hi, we're going to need to move you.

That's why the boat was rocking. We're going to move you to an upgrade. Well, that's nice. It's on the other side of the ship. And more towards the back, so we can get a little. We need some lift. 10 ice creams.

10 ice creams, yeah. Baby. Yeah. She asked questions. Sure. All right. We got to wrap this up. Is there any,

we can only do not a lot, but is there any questions? Next cruise? Well, we got to figure that. You got to book these out very far. We are looking into it. But it's, But it's very far.

There's still a whole day for things to go wrong on this one too, right? Yeah. It's not getting ahead of ourselves. But I mean, everybody has had fun. And it's, we've really, really enjoyed it. And so, yeah, it's, but, you know, there's a lot of stuff that has to go.

It's, maybe, yeah, a little bit of oil. Yeah. Well, I've already smoked seven cigars. It's, uh... I'll still do it. I'll do it. But I think we're doing this, we thought about doing this pool, but it's not big. And then so, but I'll still do it.

We'll do it. We'll do it. Yeah, I'll do it. Pool. Not on the cruise, but a different time. Not on the cruise, but we're doing it a different time. Yeah. I think we've not some time to not do so many cigars right before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not that you inhale, so it doesn't affect the lungs, but it still has an effect. Yeah. More concerned with a heart attack thing. Oh, I want to see you. Here, you want to come up? You want to come up? This guy says he.

looks like Nate. Like me? No, you don't say it, but people force this on you. Yeah, here. Come stay and up here. Yeah, yeah, come on up. Yeah, come up here and we're seeing. Okay. I also met a guy named Nate Barley, so very close to...

Yeah, I mean, all right, yeah. Yeah, there is. Okay. I mean, yeah, that is wild. Got the same energy, too. just like, yeah, I guess I'll walk up there. No, we're not. What are you going to do now?

It's, uh, yep. We're doing it. A couple guys buying their own business. Oh, I definitely want to see this. Oh, yeah, we all want to see. How have you been receiving this comparison all? I know who it is. He does look like that.

Yeah. All right. That was in the belly flop competition? Yeah. No. All right. Aaron, you can bring them up. But Aaron get off the stage.

I don't know if we can have both up. I'm sorry. I want to see. Who are we talking about? Yeah, let's bring it on. All right. Come on up. Let's see if it's.

Yeah. Yeah, they're saying they're really a dime of a dozen out here. I was worried it would be the fattest guy of all time. I can see it. I see it. All right. The shirt is a 3X, it says. So, that's, yeah, like, have you got stopped, you said?

Yeah. Yeah, have you been stopped, too? Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, my brother is here, too, and so we look a lot of like, too. The Marguessi genes are very strong. Yeah, yeah. Very strong. Right there.

Super Bowl predictions. So this is, uh, 42-6. Seahawks. Is there a lot of Seahawks fans? All right, what about Patriots? So it's a tough one There's a little bit As a Titans fan

You're rooting for Vrable And so You don't think so? No I'm not Well but I thought Vrable just got like Kind of a bad deal Like he's obviously a great coach

And I don't think he should He used to be a head coach of the Titans He got fired inexplicably Now it's first year at the Patriots They're in the Super Bowl It's kind of crazy It's kind of crazy So it kind of has a

feel to it. Like, I mean, that's like Derek Henry. Like, I kind of rooted for him with the Ravens just because you're, you know, these guys, you know, you just want them to go deserve to win a championship. So I think I kind of lean

that way. I've actually met Sam Darnold, great guy, so he's, I could go either way, but I probably lean a little more Patriots. Okay. Dusty, will you be doing your own halftime show? Well, I predict some sort of mind control ritual

that will be taking place for a full three and a half hour. and then come to my show after and then I'll get rid of that for you. I'll pray it away. What's the question? Yeah. Will you be doing your own halftime show? You know, I thought about trying to do something, but, you know, I don't know what I would do at this point.

I thought I would pre-film something. We thought about that at first. Yeah. Yeah. Natalie flop. That would, yeah, that would ruin the late show for sure. I'll make a prediction of the score just to see somebody's it's popping in my head okay 29 28 uh oh a good game yeah and yeah and a weird score boy if that's right I'll I'll be on the

pub I'll be on public figures podcast every day buddy I will just do videos where y'all don't know about just pop in Just he's never watched a podcast. He won't notice. I predict two, too. A lot of safeties, you know, and... Yeah. Just, uh, they never ends.

Yeah, it's not actually a lot of safeties. It's only two safety. Well, it's two. That's a lot for one game. That is a lot for one game. Yeah. Just non-stop safety. Yeah.

Two to two. But I guess one in the winner, so maybe it's four two because the winner wins. Yeah, let's do four two. Yeah. Four two. That's a solid. The old Kyle Petty number,

And 3514 Seahawks is my favorite. Wow. I'll say 3124 Seahawks. Oh. So are you going Patriots, Dusty, or are you just going? You know what? Who's playing? I would like the Patriots to win for the same thing.

Mike Vrable, I think that would be awesome for him to get fired, and then the Titans become the worst team in the league, and then he wins the Super Bowl. Yeah. It's a good redemption story. I love a good hero's journey. Yeah, but then the Titans do good next year. So that's...

Odyssey. Odyssey, yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. Well, he's, you know, I got a report that he's been tackling bears, but he doesn't want it to be made public

because he's friends with Nate and he doesn't want to ruin that relationship. All right. Podcast has lost some steam, I guess. Yeah, yeah. I got to be in here. And I got to be good. One last question.

If it's good. What? Them to be on the podcast. It's a great last question. Yes. This is a good, this is a good last question. So we, when I started it, I needed to be at home.

Go ahead and leave. There's a lot of people leave. And they go boring. He goes, So what are they doing in there? He goes, I think it's Bates origin story. He goes, so, he goes, I was like, I should get out of here, I guess. It's the Bates, Orange.

So we were in Nashville when I did it. I did start the podcast. I mean, it's really unreal that we're here from just starting. I started it just as a comedian that wanted to try to stay funny during COVID and make sure I was working on my chops and I wanted to do it together and stuff like that. These are comics. Me and Brian obviously have been friends for a very long time. Aaron was a newer comic but in Nashville and was like not where he's at right now but was like you know doing quite well and so it was kind of just a perfect fit that we could all just

get together and start figuring it out and so that's why I chose them and then Dusty came in you know, it was like 100 episodes right or something. And so, and I, I like, I mean, you know, I always talk about like, like, if you're Dusty can think outside the box better than anybody. And I like being around that. And I think it adds fun and it adds just different. You know, it's going to make you go for comedy, for comedy, it makes you think differently and go different angles.

And so it was a big reason. Dusty obviously, when we added him, he was already kind of killing it, and it's just gone more and more. So that's the reason I kind of chose these guys. Keep it going. Keep it going. Yeah, yeah. Now you say something nice to make.

You don't have to. You don't have to. And then that's why we kind of got all the guys. And so, like, you know, Greg Warren and Strupp and everybody, like everybody that you've seen on the road and new people that we've introduced, we really want it to be you guys. It's not, again, it's not me.

It's like everybody go have their own careers and stuff. But it's laid out to be a pretty unbelievable ride and we're here and we can't thank you enough for sticking along with us for this whole time and showing up. Yeah. And I would like to say, I mean, I am very thankful to be a part of this podcast.

Nate, obviously, is an incredible comic. He's the best. And these guys, they're all really great dudes. I know them all personally. They're great dudes. I don't know if you take my word for it. But you guys are all great. Everybody that I've met is, I mean, this is like the nicest group of people I've ever seen.

In a way, I got bombarded hanging out having a cigar, but it was like the best thing ever. I thought I was like just hanging out at the pool with my friends. And it was awesome. So I appreciate you guys. Thank you to Nate for putting us all together. Nate's the best. Thank you. And I appreciate you guys.

You're good? Good? All right. All right. Well, thank you again. And we got a lot more stuff happening on this cruise. But as always, we love you. And none of this is lost on us.

I mean, sincerely, I do. I love every one of you. Thank you very much.
