Description: Chad Prather isn't just the fast-talking guy from viral videos—he's lived enough adventures for three lifetimes. In this captivating conversation, Chad takes us through his remarkable journey from humble beginnings in rural Georgia to becoming a multifaceted entertainer, political voice, and man of faith.With his trademark rapid-fire delivery and Southern wit, Chad reveals the fascinating chapters of his life that most fans never knew existed. From working undercover with the FBI infiltrating cartels to surviving a terrifying encounter with a baboon in Nigeria, his stories are as entertaining as they are surprising. He candidly discusses his transition from television to comedy, his decision to run for Texas governor during COVID, and the personal demons he's battled along the way.What truly resonates is Chad's raw honesty about his struggles with depression and substance abuse. "I was looking for reality in a bag of drugs or at the bottom of a bottle," he admits, "and I realized there was no reality down there." This journey through darkness eventually led him back to his faith—a recurring theme throughout our conversation that provides powerful insight into his worldview.The discussion takes a serious turn when addressing cancel culture, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the state of free speech in America. Rather than responding with fear, Chad sees these challenges as opportunities for truth to spread faster and wider. "They never learn on the cancel culture," he observes. "If you do kill me, it just amplifies the voice."Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Chad for the first time, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of the man behind the viral videos—a complex, thoughtful individual whose greatest talent might be his ability to wake up each day, as he puts it, "in a new world."
