Once again, Dusty with an incredible one-liner that goes unnoticed. His "the microwaves bring people together" dig at Applebees was amazing.

The best line for sure.

For some reason Dusty’s trip to Miami seemed more transformative than Nate’s trip to the other side of the world.

I’m a changed man.

Nate: Let’s try to get through this fast. Let’s not drag the fast food bracket out. Nate immediately after: “Does that shirt come with shoulder pads?” I love how all over the place you guys get. It’s what I’m here for!

Im okay with these brackets taking a couple episodes to get through. I enjoy the conversation and stories that come along with each battle.

Nate reprimanding Aaron for talking about a bad experience in an airport, then turning around and complaining about direct TV is what this podcast is all about.

I love that Nate tried to describe to us what Bojangles is like by using a much smaller and even less known franchise. Great job, folks!

“What if the Wendy’s employee has a gun?!” Lol that’s a hilarious call back!!

One of the best things about pencil break was when you got your " best " pencil (mine was a Mirado Black Warrior) and smashed through the other kids " best " pencil. You cant know the joy of seeing a Dallas Cowboy pencil smash in half , unless you lived it.

Dusty is absolutely fighting back his desire to comment on the age of the earth at 43:25. Haha

Long Gone Silver’s was too funny! Deserved much more, but glad Brian caught it.

Very smooth exit at 28:01, Nate😅 No one saw or heard a thing. This podcast is my better-help. Thanks for all the laughs

​@@JoeySpiegelToo funny 😂 Nate walks in front of the camera, then sounded like he tripped on the door stopper. I was expecting glass breaking in the next room😂 He came back to his spot and no one said a word

We had a good time @DustySlay! You’re an honorary Cuban now 🫡

Ol babyproofing Bates was on fire this episode

My favorite part of this episode was when Dusty let fly with the Popeyes riff and Nate was right there with him.

You guys should do a “fast casual” bracket! Like Panera, Five Guys, Firehouse subs, Noodles and Co, Shake shack etc

Every time you guys talk about food I'm reminded that Nate has the palate of a four year old. If you can't like fried rice because it has onions, how do you find anything you like? I'm surprised he doesn't exclusively eat chicken nuggets, quesadillas, and apple sauce.

Sonic does not use microwaves. I unfortunately was an assistant manager there for a few years, like 3 years ago. Just had to throw that out there.

I'm gunna call it early. A&W has a gun

I like that Aaron will make a call back to Nate’s own joke and it didn’t phase him in the least. Also, we ignored that fact that Nate didn’t notice Dusty didn’t wear a hat a few episodes ago.

Applebees “The microwaves are bringin people together.” I gotcha dusty. I laughed.

Really appreciate the Bart Durham shoutout

Just realized today that Nateland is just a teaser to We’re Having a Good Time. From now on I’ll have a better appreciation when I hear Dusty repeat a story on his show. Goodbye folks, keep having a good time!

I would be absolutely invested in the next couple episodes being the fast food fights! It’s why I watch this podcast religiously, a beautiful escape from the daily grind!

I understand you Dusty. Someone bought the land catty-corner to us and I found myself in the backyard a lot while the Hispanic workers were building the house enjoying their music well into the night and found myself missing it when the house was finished.

No better way to wake up than to have your comment read on Nateland. It was a surprise older comment too!

As a kid, my dad would take me to Jack In The Box and we would always get tacos. It was a real staple of my childhood. I've been defending those tacos for YEARS. Glad to hear that other people actually like them. I feel so heard.

The amount of times Aaron “know what I mean” Weber Stacks his papers in an episode is unbelievable. I’m at 11 stacks in one ad read

You guys need to do one of these bracket challenges with candy, but you need to actually try the candies during the challenge.

Btw is Aaron taking Dustys’ patented “Allllriiiiiight”

I think you guys called it”Scratching the Surface” is a great Dusty podcast where I get to explore…..almost everything….most of all, Dusty’s conspiracies, this would be wild

Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻

I love Dusty in a guayabera 😂

Thank you! I love it it too!

When I got the podcast notification, I thought it said “Fast Food Bucket Fights” and immediately imagined you all throwing family buckets of KFC at each other. I thought “THIS is going to be EPIC.” I didn’t even question it being on brand for the podcast. Imagine my dismay when I found out it was a bracket fight. Still a great pod but maybe this should be a special episode coming up.

Nate? You still have DIRECTV? No. This is unacceptable. You cannot make old people jokes at Bateman when you still have DIRECTV.

Why have this fast food bracket fight when we know Nate is going to have McDonald’s win!

6:40 my Cuban friend was telling me there’s no food and not much in grocery stores rn.

“What is it a book?” lol

Love the brackets, been looking forward to this all day

Y’all made fun of Dusty for being so specific about the donut gas station but I was one of those listeners that knew exactly what he was talking about! Respect! My family lived in Clarksville and we would stop and grab a dozen (or a few dozen 😬) every time we passed through on our way camping in KY.

I’m impressed by y’all’s composure during disagreements while I’m over here like “OH COME ON FELLAS YOU DIDN’T PLAY POPEYES?!? BELIEVE IN SOMETHING!!!!!”

Dusty knows his Doughdaddy's in Versailles, KY. Right at the end of Bluegrass Parkway. Good stuff Dusty.

Love your podcast, still keeping us laughing!

Seen you on Saturday night live, I've heard of you but never really invested any time into this podcast, I'm watching it now and loving it, very easy very wholesome very fun, really enjoying this pod

I am on my way to Lexington Kentucky next weekend, and I love a good old fashion donut. Now I need to stop at that gas station. Thank you Dusty!

No matter how long an episode was, I would watch it. I've got a whole week before the next one!

The best “ 2 for 1 “ type deal I’ve seen was a guy selling 1 watermelon for $3 or 3 for $10. So everyone was just buying 3 watermelons seperate for $9. I said to him “ did he know that 3 for $10 wasn’t a better deal” and he said “ of course… but everyone is buying 3 to prove me wrong”. Genius !!

Aaron making an odd but funny joke and it bombing in the room was hilarious

I am 1 of the 40 who lost it at Aaron’s RC joke. About time we got some comedy on this podcast.

It started with Dusty being the tiebreaker in this bracket challenge. Then he proceeded to be the first to speak on every single matchup

Really appreciated the longer podcast time!

I laughed at the RC joke! "Remote Control" cars

I like how Aaron threw in there, about Arby's, yeah, they've got the meats, all low-key. Then Dusty, same thing. Like an after thought.

The care and seriousness with which you took Animal Fights is what made it great. Why in the world would you rush through something like this? This topic is (or should have been) core Nateland.

Chick-fil-a employees could teach a lot of people & a lot of industries a thing or two...or 20! 😂😊. They really are refreshing!!

Dusty’s shirt is called a guayabera. It’s light and thin to stay cool while picking guavas, and the extra pockets are to hold the guavas. Suave Dustin, suave

Hello folks!! I’m so excited about this episode!!

I took my first vacation to tennessee this past week, loved it, and totally get the appeal of South now. While driving through Virginia I figured I'd stop to grab something that says Virginia on it to say that I've been there. To my surprise, my michigan accent was too much for them. I got handed off to three different people who had never heard of what a 'magnet' was. Made me laugh. Love the show. Bates rules

I completely disagree about the chain restaurants theory. Gas station/convenience stores and grocery stores are definitely the last great cross section.

Im Canadian from the east coast and we just got a popeyes! I was so excited because ive seen the commercials for 30 years

I am going to find that Reacue 911 episode of the man touching the ladies foot! It’s my mission. Now I’m on KZread watching old episodes and loving the commercials! 😂😂😂❤❤

Watching Bittersweet navigate talking about Church’s chicken to an ad read in one fell swoop is podcast gold. Looking forward to seeing Nate in Baltimore!

I’m surprised the Alabama guys didn’t mention Jack’s. I just moved back to Alabama after living in Nashville for 9 years and besides getting married, getting jacks whenever I want is the highlight of this year. Jacks is doing really well down here 👍.

Long time listener - first time caller... Revisiting Nate’s comment about having a shy bladder.. I live in Atlanta and was at his show last winter at the fox. Incredible show, super funny, I even yelled “Let’s go folks” at the start and Nate said “There it is”. Great moment for me. What was not a great moment was after the show I went to the bathroom to pee before our drive home. Of course there was a long line, so I joined the line and started waiting. As I got closer to the urinals I noticed they were very close together with no dividers. Having a shy bladder myself, the inevitable anxiety started to sink in. When it was my turn I saddled up to the urinal as tight as possible, and stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Finally I zipped up and walked away with a full bladder. Maybe you three and beanie batesy can discuss why all toilets have doors, but it’s a free-for-all with urinals. Side-note, I’ll be at the December show in Atlanta this year, mind if I use your bathroom?

Conspiracy theory: Nate has seen Shawshank but it is a long running joke to frustrate Aaron, Dusty and Bojangle bates

Another great episode! Braums Bates, keep up the good job on picking subjects. I have been in more than one argument about how many people you can order for in the drive through. I say no more than 5. Any more than that and you have to go inside out of courtesy to those behind you. Being the premier fast food podcast I wanted to see where you guys land on this.

This was a tough listen for me. Didn’t know I had such strong opinions on fast food! I’m glad this was one and done.

Brian!!! So many people excited about the Jasper show!

Have been listening for awhile but this is the first time I've watched, but just realized I've associated Aaron's voice with Brian's face and vice versa, and now that I realize I've had them mixed up I don't know what to believe anymore. Thanks for the existential crisis!

Aaron’s laugh is the best

I have to say - Aaron is on it today!!

Here via Afterburn Podcast. ❤😂

Love listening to the football (soccer) piece, particularly when trying to scale it to to US sports like Basketball, etc.

Hang in there Aaron! I loved AW Rootbeer. Especially when you serve it with vanilla ice cream!

The French translation of Kentucky Fried Chicken reminds me of a time years ago when my brother-in-law prepared a special dinner for my sister, who speaks fluent French. He does not speak French, and there was no Google translate back then, but he managed to use the Internet to write a description of the meal in French. It was not flawless. The portion mentioning Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce read “Rays of sweet babies.” 😂

Saw Aaron in Boston Saturday night with my husband Red.We took a great picture with him in my pan-guin shirt! He killed it. Non stop laughs. Hoping to see all four of you over the next year. Nate’s next in October. Love you guys! Thanks for doing what you do…. Michelle B

Hearing you talk about the guy who used a table leg against Nolan Ryan reminded me of Willie Harris. He played for the Atlanta Braves in 2007 and used a souvenir bat he found in one of the manager's offices. He said he was in a hitting slump and wanted to try something different. He ended up with six hits in that game.

Aaron, thank you for rockin the Pittsburgh Pirates hat!

I'm in the car yelling Eh-kid-nah to people who recorded this days ago. It's nice to feel I'm part of the discussion. 😃

This 👆47:42 (Dusty referring to his guayabera from Miami) “I’m cultured now…” That’s what makes Miami so great! There are so many awesome cultures in addition to Cuban. I love it! Although, I’m not surprised dusty got along so well with the Cubans 😉

As someone who grew up in the backwoods of NJ and had to drive 20-30 minutes to get food because nobody delivered to us, when I got to college and found out that people had pizza, Chinese food, etc. delivered to their house was so wild to me. It shocked me even more the first time I got food delivered to my dorm.

Little Caesar’s near me have drive thrus.

Alright!!

The RC car joke was smart and a smart crowd would appreciate it

Almost 140 episodes and I’ve been read twice! Not a Mayor but I thought about running for office before then thought “naaaaaah. I’ve got better things to do”. Glad to hear you guys reading good comments again. 😂

I was laughing during the Lion, feelings, Will discussion thinking about the long talk on a previous episode that it’s unbelievable people say worsh for wash. 😂😂😂

The 2fer at a gas station always gets me. Props to Nate for staying strong!

dustys shirt is called a guayabera (y-ya-bear-ah)

I have to say, as a life long fan of RC Cola, everytime y'all said RC, I thought of Radio Controlled cars. I am one of the 40 who laughed! Thanks for making me laugh.

First time caller, long time listener of AaronLand. I appreciate the ranting of Cleveland Airport. Reminds me of Peter Griffins “You Know What Grinds My Gears” segment during his time on the news. Would like to see more of what grinds Aaron and Dusty’s gears.

Hello Folks. I live in Bowling Green, Kentucky and went to UK in the 90s. I think the gas station that Dusty mentioned with the great donuts was there back then. Nice to know it is still going. Also, thanks for reminding me that I know too much about fast food. By the way, there is a Culver's in Bowling Green. Love it! Come on up.

As a native of the suburbs of Chicago to a current resident in North Carolina, I can say that I have experienced all of these chains including an In and Out visit I made in Las Vegas. I personally would have gone with Culver's as the champion, but in the end this was a “respect the player not the game” type of situation.

Hello Bears! A long bit ago I was told that the southern accent comes from the English settlers slowing down their way of life, including the pace at which they spoke. So, if you slow down the English accent it becomes the southern accent. Now, I know Ireland isn’t England but I’ve noticed that anytime an English person does an “American” accent it’s always southern & that could be because it’s easier since it’s just their accent slowed down. Love y’all folks, been listening since the first episode, when it was 3 & the show seemed to be about 2 dudes bully their geriatric friend, but as time rolled on & the true dust pan joined n the show, it’s become one of the best podcasts! Congratulations to all the success you’ve all had as well as the literal people some of ya’ll made & hopefully we will continue to hear Breadbox correct Nate as he makes up words he can’t pronounce & be sold athletic ware from Arron & Dusty’s ads for many more year’s!

I'm from Montgomery, like Aaron. There was a Lee's Chicken here before it turned into Guthrie's on Atlanta Highway across from Faulkner University.

Was this whole thing a McD's ad read? Because there is no way it's better than CFA. Even Harvard knows that. Y'all let the legacy brand bully you.

Alaska State Fair! For REAL? YES! 🎉🎉🎉

There was a Lee's Chicken in Russellville, AR in the 90's My Dad and I used to go get the potato wedges. So good. Once it closed it became a KFC

My first job was working at Jack in the Box. Their value menu was legendary. Plus I got an employee discount which included free soda. My order was two tacos, a jr. bacon cheeseburger, a chicken sandwich, seasoned curly fries, and a Dr. Pepper. I probably gained 30 lbs in the one year that I worked there.
