Speaker 1 (00:04):
We interrupt this
theme music for a special
announcement.
I have been sitting here forfour and a half hours four hours
and 36 minutes and for thefirst time in starting stand-up
history, I have nothing to say.
I just got nothing.
I have nothing to say, I justgot nothing.
(00:26):
And I've been battling and Ifinally come to the conclusion
that the reason I have nothingis because I'm stalled.
I'm stalled out, I haven't beenon the mic and I need to get
back up there, and I can't tellyou how overwhelmingly
challenging that feels to me.
And so why not use you, theloyal listener, to be my
(00:53):
accountability partner?
Which means that I am making asolemn vow to you right now that
in the next two weeks, I'mgetting back on the mic, I'm
going back and performing newmaterial, new exciting material,
material that, if you havelistened to every episode, you
(01:15):
will recognize as beingdeveloped and birthed here on
Starting Stand Up.
I don't want to do it.
I don't know whether it's thevernal equinox.
No, it's not the autumnalequinox, forgiveness please.
We've had the autumnal equinox.
The weather's changing.
I want to curl up and read allday, every day.
(01:37):
I don't want to perform.
I don't want to drive toBiddeford for five minutes on
stage, but I know I got to getback on the horse.
This is just classic resistance,and so I take solemn vows
seriously.
They're solemn.
This is an extremely solemn vow.
(01:59):
You hear me, you understand.
All right, good, I hope youhave an insanely good week.
I'm going to go to bed.
I can feel it, this change offoot, something new is being
birthed.
I can feel it, and so thank youfor being here for me.
Thank you for holding meaccountable to my solemn vows.
(02:23):
Please enjoy fall.
I know, men, it's a veryexciting time.
We can start to layer up, andit's quite obvious to the
opposite sex that men look a lotbetter with a nice layered
sweater, maybe a texturedsweater underneath a coat.
Stop looking at our legswearing pants.
Please enjoy the fall and yourlayered looks.
(02:47):
May they lead to all sorts ofvenery.
Thank you.
