Best of the Bus: Nate Bargatze On Going From Tire Recycler To Touring With Chris Rock
6/6/20261 hr 20 min
The boys have one of the boys and Nashville comedian, Nate Bargatze. The boys get right into some of Nate’s old jobs that he had when he was a kid. One of the jobs that he hated actually made it onto an episode of Dirty Jobs.
Then the boys get into how Nate started his comedy career. Instead of moving straight to New York from Nashville, he did a little time in Chicago before he finally decided to make the move to New York. Nate talks about the New York comedy scene and how crazy/overwhelming it can be as there are thousands of comedians trying to make it. He says fighting your way through the different types of comedy is how you really become good and is how you find your style/voice.
Nate gets into some comedians he had a little bit of a run in with but has since ironed things out with. He tells the story of Louis CK publicly embarrassing him at a show and making fun of one of the jokes Nate told during his set. However, Nate says he was able to make sense of it all because at the time he had only been in comedy for 5 years. Nate talks about the different advice he gives to younger comedians which is interesting to hear.
The boys end the pod talking about why Nate decided to be a clean comedian, why he decided to stop drinking and how good Scientology is at recruiting people. Nate is really just one of the guys and tells some really good stories throughout the episode that you won’t want to miss. Enjoy fellas.

[upbeat music] Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is: getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is: getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things.
Speaker 50:44
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.
