1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis wants to laugh, and now we have a data

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: point to prove it. Naperghatsi set a new single day

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: ticket sale record for his comedy performance at Gambridge field

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: House last weekend Valentine's Day week, and had we been

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: in town, I would have definitely wanted to go see that.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's fantastic. And if you're not familiar with Date Bargatzi,

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: he kind of blew up on TikTok during COVID. He

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: was kind of just this regular working man comic doing

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: the clubs over his career, and then he kind of

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: the algorithm caught him on TikTok during the pandemic and

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: he blew up. And I mean Date Bargatsi right now

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: absolutely one of the most successful comics in the entire world.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: There are not many comics you can count on, you know,

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: the number of comics you know on less than one

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: hand who can sell out stadiums, twenty thousand seat stadiums.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Like he just did. He had an evening show which

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: sold out, and then they added an extra afternoon show

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that also sold out, and that pushed the total sales

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: past the prevy previous comedy benchmark. So he holds the

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: record now at Gambridge Fieldhouse for the most tickets sold

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: by a comedian in a single day. It's a part

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: of his popular Big Dumb Eyes World tour. They celebrated

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: by giving him a custom Pacers jersey with his name

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: on it and then the number twenty six, which stood

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six.

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty cool. There were some pictures of

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: him on social media where he was holding up the

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: Pacers jersey. Another one where is he holding up at

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark jersey, you know, And I think this is

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: one of his big selling points. He is absolutely one

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: hundred percent clean. So if you're going to a comedy

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: show and the comic you know is going to be

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: edgy and dirty, Okay, maybe it's just you and your

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: wife going to the show, but with somebody like Nate Bargatzi, Shoot,

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: you can take your kids, you can take your kids friends,

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: you can take your grandma and grandpa to the show.

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: Everybody is going to enjoy it because he is so clean,

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: and that's really hard to do for comics to be

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: that successful while being clean. But he is the best

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: in the business at it, right.

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, filling arenas with clean fun comedy, and honestly, I

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: just want to do this story because it's Friday and

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: we could all use a laugh. So here is. It's

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite skits. This is Washington's Dream.

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: It's from Saturday Night Live. You probably remember it. The

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: funniest history lesson you'll ever get, deadpan, genius, confused troops,

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: revolutionary mic drop as.

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 3: I dream of that one day our proud nation will

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: measure weights and pounds, and that two thousand pounds shall

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: be called a ton?

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: And what would one thousand pounds be called, sir?

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Nothing, because we will have no word for that. It

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: seems like we should have a word for one thousand pounds, sir,

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: And yet we won't, because we are free men, and

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: we will be free to measure liquids and leaders and

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: middle leaders. But not all liquids, only soda, wine and

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: alcohol only those, sir, Yes, Because for milk and paint

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: we will use gallons, pints and quartz. God will.

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: How many leaders are in a gallon?

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Sir?

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: Nobody knows, sir, in this new country, what plans are

62
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: there for men of color such as I?

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Distance we measured an inches feet yard, so twelve inches

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: to a foot.

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: Twelve feet to a yard.

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: If it were only so simple three feet to a

67
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: yard and how many yards to a mile? Nobody knows,

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: nobody knows.

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: It really does nail our crazy unit system, our measurement system, right.

70
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: You don't think about it very much. It's just kind

71
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: of the way we've always done it. But when you

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: when you say it out loud like that, it does

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: seem a little stupid.

74
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Sure, a lot of people saying that they should make

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: a movie of him just doing that character.

76
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, that's been the classic Saturday Night Live move. Let's

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: take this three minute Saturday Night Live skit and turn

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: it into a ninety minute movie, and the vast majority

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: of the time we find out, oh that was really

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: that ninety minute movie was funny for the three minutes,

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: and that's it. The rest of it wasn't very good.
