Hey everybody, this is Chad Daniels and you have landed in the middle of somewhere. Hello, how are you? Great to hear it. I'm so happy that you're doing great.

Across to me is always is Psyaminson. Hello sweet baby Chad, I'm feeling medium. You know what I'm feeling? I'm feeling like people have so many opinions and it doesn't make sense because it's like we come out of this thing where everybody's out where everyone's trying to get along and then someone has some suit. Let me tell you what I'm talking about.

I was in Atlanta, Georgia, and I was doing a show and there were Christmas parties and I think I talked about this before, but this has been bugging me forever. There are Christmas parties. What happens with Christmas parties when you're at a comedy show is a lot of the people don't know the comedian. They don't know comedy.

They've heard comedy on TV and they think that's what it's going to be like and it's not like that. And so they go there and they are number they're appalled and they they hurt their body hurts and they're wondering,

well why do we have a mask when we come into the room but we can take it off when we sit down and everybody knows that's because COVID goes through your asshole. Everyone knows that.

COVID enters your body through your asshole and so when you sit down it can't get into your asshole. The chair is your new mask and so people have to understand that that's why.

I saw that updated from the CDC.

These fucking rules are so confusing no wonder everyone's furious, but I'm not even talking about that. I am talking about something completely different.

At the end of my shows I always say, hey I'm sure you're going to leave a huge tip on the tip line of your credit card slip because you're good people. What you can do on top of that tip, not just, but on top of it is you can leave a couple extra bucks in cash on the table because they don't have to tell anybody about that.

And it's like we're a little comedy militia messing with the government and that feels good no matter what side you're on and immediately to my right.

This Napoleon complex little motherfucker goes nope, nope and I go, what do you mean, nope? And he goes, you're telling people to not file their taxes correctly and I'm like, it's $3 in cash.

First they don't have to do that and he goes, well that means that's pretty fucked up. How are we going to pay for things? And I go, I don't know, why don't we have billionaires pay for things?
