Free Audiobook : Big Dumb Eyes, by Nate Bargatze

Nate Bargatze, the guy dubbed “The Nicest Man in Stand-Up,” invites you into his world with Big Dumb Eyes, a collection of stories that’ll have you laughing and nodding along. Growing up in Old Hickory, Tennessee, Nate thought he was destined for greatness, maybe as a brain doctor or a math wizard. But a questionable childhood mishap, which his family swears never happened, supposedly knocked the genius right out of him, leaving him with stand-up comedy as his only path.

From his clunky first car to his battles with rats in a sketchy apartment, Nate spins everyday moments into pure gold. His Southern roots shine through as he pokes fun at life’s absurdities, like Northerners asking if he believes in dinosaurs or his own bizarre theories about sushi origins. With his wife Laura keeping him in check, these tales are as heartfelt as they are hilarious, delivered in that deadpan style that’s made him a comedy superstar.

This audiobook, narrated by Nate himself, feels like catching up with an old friend who’s got a knack for finding humor in the mundane. Perfect for fans of his Netflix specials or anyone who loves a good laugh without overthinking it, Big Dumb Eyes is a cozy, family-friendly listen that’ll leave you smiling long after the final story. Get ready to chuckle at the simple, silly, and surprisingly profound moments of Nate’s life.
