Nate Bargatze shared what his parents had him do after they watched some true crime. The popular funnyman's parents were trying to get ahead of things. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what Nate's parents instructed him to do that will have you rolling with laughter.
True crime is an incredibly popular genre. There are books, television shows, movies and podcasts that detail and chronicle these often-horrifying, stomach-turning crimes. Some people, believing themselves to be detectives simply after hearing a podcast or watching a movie, will even try to solve this or that crime after learning about a particular case.
While a majority of true crime cases are horrible and downright awful, for most people, it's like a train wreck. We want to look away, but we just can't. That is entirely evident given how popular shows like Law Order: SVU and similar programs, books and podcasts remain.
Nate Bargatze's parents can be counted among the many legions of true crime fans. In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate mentioned what his mother and father had him do in case he was ever kidnapped.
So, my parents, I think, watched a 'Rescue 911,' where a kid went missing, he said. So, it got them scared, and I think they took it like, 'Look, you guys are getting kidnapped. There's nothing we can do. It's happening.'
Believing that Nate and his siblings' kidnapping was only a matter of time, they made them create their own missing posters, complete with their height, weight and eye color.
So, instead of just making a flyer, what they made us to do was we wrote on a piece of paper our name, height, weight, eye color, he added. And then we just held it up against the wall, and they just took a picture of us. So, the picture is us holding our own information.
Nate mentioned that if he and his siblings had gone missing, the authorities, given those pictures and homemade posters, would've had a lot of questions for them.
