Tim jokes about spiking COVID case counts, imagining Fauci and the Gateses celebrating, and mocks the idea of COVID as a recurring blockbuster sequel disrupting his tour dates.
- Tim explains his rationale for potentially postponing shows: he doesn't want fans getting sick, the club facing bad press, or venues dealing with increased regulations at reduced capacity.
- 90,000 COVID cases recorded in 24 hours marks a record resurgence; Tim jokes that Bill and Melinda Gates and Fauci are celebrating in their mansions.
- Tim admits he doesn't know if he's had COVID, has probably been exposed to it repeatedly, and no longer understands what the virus even is anymore.
- Comparing COVID's return to a summer blockbuster, Tim riffs on it being a movie arriving just in time for the holidays: National Lampoon's COVID Christmas.
- Playing to a hundred socially distanced people in a 400-capacity room isn't fun; Tim would rather reschedule dates to February or March for full crowds.
- West Palm Beach shows were among the most fun he's had doing stand-up, featuring drunk monstrous crowds of people like himself—bad people who enjoy him because he's a bad person too.
