Hey everybody this is Chad Daniels. Thank you for tuning into the middle of somewhere. Hey just a couple of quick dates as you know I do this all the time.

I'm gonna be at a bachelor party 30 miles south of Austin, Texas and it's gonna be fun. There's no doubt about that. You might hear a little something about it.

January 30th through February 1st. I'm gonna be at the Portland Helium January 2nd. Fly in home to watch somebody else in the Super Bowl.

January 6th. I will be at the Hollywood improv in Los Angeles that shows sold out. I'm not adding February 6th. That's why I meant February 6th. I'll be at Hollywood improv. It's sold out. Not gonna add a second one because it's too much. Too much stuff. I'll be at CD White CB live.

What CB Arizona February 8th February 12th Huntsville Alabama stand up live then the 13th through the 15th. I'll be at Zane's. Then we go Orlando improv February 25th.

Side splitters comedy club in Tampa February 26th February 27th West Palm Beach improv and then my daughter and I are flying down to Key West for her little birthday party.

My nephew Ethan is in Tampa. Interesting. Maybe you'll come to your low show there. I hope it comes for sure. That'd be great. All right. If this is your first episode, start at the beginning. I know it's a long haul but you'll thank us.

You actually you absolutely should. Also when I was driving from Cincinnati to Louisville for a show, I was in a truck stop bathroom and a guy was shitting and it sounded just like the Clippity Clop Clippity Clops song.

Hey everybody, this is Chad Daniels and you have landed in the middle of somewhere across for me is Si Amanson. Hello.

My co host, which Cincinnati go bananas a Zach very funny young man kept introducing me from the podcast middle of somewhere with Si Amanson, like I was just a fucking part time guest.

That's the greatest thing I've ever heard. Sure about that. Sure you want to go there. Are we ready?

I said before the show that I didn't and I kind of do now. Yeah, I think I can handle it. I know everybody there is angry and and bummed that I couldn't come and I'm very sad about that but that little nugget brightens up my shitty day.

Anyways, so I want to go there. Who's in the corner? Who's in the court? I seriously, here's what just happened. I thought to myself, Chad, you don't want to do this.

You're a good friend. And then I felt my lip curl over one of my K-90 like I was snarling. And I was like, it's go time and then I go, hey dude, relax. You're not pulling a sled. You're not pulling a sled. Just relax.

In the corner is a bell. Hey, Bills and he's dressed like he has some poetry to read. What the fuck are you wearing today? Hold on. Just.

Ladies and gentlemen in the corner, hey Bills and this next poem is called Are You My Father? What the fuck? Hey Bills is wearing, hey Bills is wearing jeans, which we don't see on him a ton because I'd like to just quickly say kudos to you for just having five pockets on what you're wearing below your waist today.

That is impressive. And I know that you probably had to bring some sort of backpack to bring the rest of your kit, but I think it's great. I'm going to tell you though, they're the sort of jeans that even though they only have about five pockets, they do look like they probably had at one point that little hammer strap.

You know the little hammer hook that you slide the hammer in, they look like they had those and when hey Bills got them from one of the people in his dorm who was selling him, he was like, I don't need the hammer hook. I'm more of an indoor cat and he cut that off.

Those are the kind of jeans that have a longer ham at the bottom. Yes, because you know they're going to get afraid when you're hanging drywall.

And then on top he has just a pure black crew neck sweatshirt and to be and then you and I don't take a lot of stances, but before the show, he called his look the Louis CK and you and I were both like, hey Bills, that's an appropriate.

There are certain things we joke about, but fucking not funny man. Just to be clear, I never use the word inappropriate. I hopped right into a story about my manager calling me and having to explain that I was doing some sort of weird workout thing before she called because I was breathing super heavy on the phone.

Doing eight sets of jack in this dick. He it's the top the top shirt is that's what gives him the poetry vibe just the pure black shirt like I either have some poetry to do or I have to go work at the coffee shop that you really hate coming to or I'm going to steal something and get caught.
