When I was in high school, I was on the speech team.
Same thing.
Like, I would just go up and talk.
That was my thing.
I'd go up and talk and whatever worked, worked.
And whatever didn't work, all right, we'll just scrap that.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's where I got my bones was in school on the speech team.
Just getting up.
be comfortable talking in front of people, get comfortable with silence, comfortable with just people staring at you.
And once I started doing standup, I was just like, okay, yeah, we're good.
What did I miss?
Also too, like the stories that I'm telling, I tell stories that,
If I were to write something down, for me, it almost feels like it's a script.
And whenever I act and I got to follow a script, I have a real tough time memorizing my lines.
It's just like, oh, because I'm not enjoying it.
I'm not enjoying it.
And so I sit down with someone and then we just go over the lines over and over and over.
And I'm like, I fucking hate this.
