 That's how it starts, so you don't know where to start laughing yet, so I don't know what to do. You're not telling jokes, you're not telling jokes. You're out there just like, I'm sweating dude. To get better, and I want to have a wife. It's a micro! That's fear. Where's he going? I accepted death, I accepted death. Forcin' it. Bro, I did so bad, my stomach hurts. I hope this inspires you, and I hope you understand that I froze hard. And I was terrifying, and I'm doing it again. Have a good night, bro. What you were about to watch is brutal. My god. Yesterday, I had a rough night. Okay, it happens. I did my first ever open mic, we got it done. For those that have watched my podcast, I've been talking about it for a few weeks. You know how much I love comedy, you know how funny I am. Okay, this is what it's about though. You gotta laugh at yourself. You gotta live it up, man. This is what life's about. So, I'm putting this out there. I hope you freaking enjoy. And I hope that you are inspired to go do something. Because nothing really matters, you know? Did I know that in this moment, when I got on stage? Out the window, dude. All the mindfulness, every freaking meditation session. Every time I ever got my mindset right in any way. Out the window, bro. Here we go. Ah, damn. We only got a few more comedians, guys. Appreciate everybody sticking around. Um... Definitely sticking around for this guy. Steven, you ready? Steven Sully right here. Shout out to Carmen, the host. It was late, it was late. Mike Ever, first time standing on stage. I'm nervous again. Appreciate everybody staying out. My boy's in here. I look okay. Here, so much singing built up in here. No idea why I said that. Literally, thought it was funny that this is my first ever open mic, just starting with that. And when I'm famous, I'll look back on this like, that's how it starts, so you don't know where to start. I still think that's funny that the first thing I've ever said, and it's almost funny that it bombed, because it's like the first thing I've ever said in my whole career. And I do love this. I do want to get good at it. Am I reevaluating my entire life? Yes. What to do. I've been wanting to do this for weeks. Had no idea what to go with. Can't even see people. Lights are bright, but um... I don't know. ...if I'm sitting outside your comfort zone, it's something I love to do. I love making people laugh. No one's laughing yet, so I don't... You're not telling jokes. You're not telling jokes. Just kidding. Anyway, so, what I see in my life, I work nine and five. So much anxiety. People just like... Oh, God, this is so crazy. Don't even live their life. They don't do anything they want. I wanted to talk about... Oh, anxiety is so common or something, but it just sounds like I'm talking about myself, because I'm so goddamn nervous, but it doesn't sound right at all. My God. Do me. I know this is scary, but you've got to push yourself a little bit. Everybody, people walking around, they're just like... Forgot what I was going to say. Facing up a little bit, but it was... Come on. I just started. Why am I facing a... Oh, Lewis. Shout out to my boys that came out. They see new people just like this. I'm so worried, as you can tell. Probably she was losing that one little bit, but if you go around and say, oh, I'm going to meet new people. Oh, my God, just alcohol, alcohol. They just drown themselves. They just block out everything they do. They're going to go, oh, my God. I don't want to deal with my thoughts. I don't want to think about anything. They just am, be, and am, be, and am. They can't even think. I think it's crazy if you can't even think with your thoughts and like this. I hope this is inspiration for you, because this is nerve-wracking, but I'm loving it anyway, because I hope to get better. And I want to... I hope my wife is turning into a TED talk. I'm turning on this. I'm just going to clap at it. Come on, right there. Microphone. I broke that microphone. The plug came out. All right. It looks better than it felt. I felt like my brain completely seized and it was melting. I don't know if you've ever felt that in public speaking. I've only had that when I was a kid, when I was in school, when I didn't know what I was talking about. Obviously. My brain was on fire. It felt like I was barely alive. Oh my god. If you want to feel like a human, go do something you're terrified of and fucking suck at it. Can't go any worse. Guess I'm bombing. Guess it's a good day to do so. Try not to forget Jean. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You got it. You got it. You got it. Wait. Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes. It's a good day to do so. Try not to forget Jean. That's fear. Look at that fear. Nothing's working. I don't know what to do. My brain doesn't even listen to what I'm saying. Oh my god. Don't say it. 9-11. Okay. You know, we got it. Why is it a terrible job? Obviously, it's a terrible job. Okay. Anyway, people work. Just get out of it. They just want to be CEOs. They just want to be the stupid jobs. They are trying to center themselves and know anything. They just say, I'm gonna work, work, work. Don't know what to do. What am I saying? I have insurance. I work for all the employees. Insurance is coming. Where's it going? All these work 9 to 5, 60 hours a week. Dominatrix, dominatrix, dominatrix. Punchline. No set up, nothing. That was the point. Come on. Oh, I'm sweating. I'm sweating. Do this. I accepted death. I accepted death. I centered myself and I felt calm for a second. I breathed for a second because I accepted death. And that's very mindful of me, but it goes right back downhill. But that's how you got to be. You got to be a center. I met this guy recently. Oh my god. He's like all into CBD and spiritual, but he's got this New York accent and it didn't really go well. Basically me? And he's like, you got to stay centered, bro. You got to go with your shockers. These fucking people, they don't understand. You got to stay centered. You got to believe in yourself. And I was confused because of what he was saying. I'm so true, but I was- I'm so serious. I wasn't even laughing at myself. Like, I'm supposed to have fun. You know, these are jokes. I should make myself laugh, you know? I knew all these things going in, but completely brain malfunction. I'm completely lost. Completely lost, yep. If he was being true or that was who he was, or he heard it somewhere and you're just repeating it- Orson it. It's gonna be really funny. I can't do this. And then I do well. And then I do well. Okay. And anything else? Drake. I'm big for him. I had Drake- Yo, I had Drake lines to do about his emotional nonsense lyrics. I had skin jokes to do. I had black holes. I had Netflix. I had so many ideas and thoughts that I wrote out that I practiced that I was working on. But you get on stage and the lights are in your eyes. And you got- Baby. You're probably gonna watch this, probably support me with all her love- Rosie, my grandmother now. What the fuck's going on? Oh, okay. She's actually my best friend. And one thing I do to her- I do like this one though. Hopefully this lands in that- No chance. Fuck with her a little bit. Yeah? It's not what you think. I literally- If you want to fuck with any of your grandparents, try this. Next to their purse- She tried the second one. Two nickels. Just drop two nickels stacked up and that'll send her for a friend. Tell them more, a little bit. Send it us- Are these my nickels? Steven, is these your nickels over here? And she can't even go on with her day without even fucking understanding what these nickels came for. Oh, man, I love you. Is this supposed to be for the same real life? I was gonna get it. Wolfgang, Steven- One person loves it. One person loves it. Steven, can we get them hands? She takes me. She knows- That was part of my day. And that's my time. Thank you. Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Oh, my God. Get out of there. Get out of there. Motivation. How do you do? Oh, God. Get the fuck out of there. It's a festival dunker, too. Just saying. Yeah. Whoa! Shout out to my voice for coming. He does this. Oh, man. Thank you, man. Donut, right in the- Thanks for watching. Oh, my God. Thanks to everybody that came out. Thanks to the people on Instagram that already reached out and said they're going to go try something because that makes it worth it. Oh, my God. I'm shaking again. I'm like reliving it. So funny. My God. I can't believe that's how it went. Anyway, didn't look as bad as it felt. It felt way worse, which is something comforting, I guess. I'm going to practice everything I'm ever thinking now is complete. I had psychosis before this in the positive now. I'm second guessing everything I've ever thought in my whole mind- mind-meld. Look at me. It's just- It shook me again. I got second-hand shookness and that was rough, but I hope this helps you. If you're ever doing stand-up for those people, if you're a stand-up yourself and you watch this for your first time, because I watch YouTubers open Micros for their first time and that helped me get on stage. Go do it. I'm having fun with it. I survived, nearly, by a thread. I survived by a thread, but I'm going to- I look forward to doing again and practicing and having fun with it because I did not have fun. I had fun looking at it now, but I did not have fun on stage while I was up there and that was the problem. I couldn't get myself. I couldn't get comfortable. I just thought way too much about what am I saying instead of just having fun with this. So I hope Open Micros comment on this or people that are looking for it and they're going to try to go do it because that will at least give me some solace that this was for something instead of just completely alter my life and then I never do it again. Enjoy your day. Let's go. Nothing matters. Go do it. Go get scared. Go freak your mind out and then come back. If I was attached before, how about now, dude? I went up there and I survived. And now I'm like, what's the worst that can happen? Silence? Yeah, dude. Let's do it. Bro, I just leveled up. That's what it's about. Toodle-oo.
