So, it happened. During the show we were in the second bracket, it was Mikey Garcia vs. Me…
My name was called, or rather a version of my name as well as my competitor. I ran to the stage, looked to my right, and he didn’t show up. Jokingly, I said, “Well, I guess that means I WON!”
The host James Mattern said, “Wait, we will just need a replacement! Jasoooon Scoop!” I said, “F***, that’s my boy!” *crickets* Jason wasn’t there…
They called up another contender, I’ll leave out names. He wilfully came up. I said he could go first. He did his set as I respectfully stood by his side and laughed at some of his jokes. It was then my turn. After my set was over, it was time for the audience to “vote” with their clapghter. Yes, I made up a word, deal with it.
They clapped and cheered for my competitor… then, it was my turn. The audience roared for me. *OMG… You love me! You really, really love me!*
I won Round 1. I’ll be competing next week in Round 2 on Wednesday, March 7th! All support is appreciated. Wish me luck! 😉
*UPDATE* Round 2 will now take place on Monday, March 12th due to the storm!
*UPDATE TO THE UPDATE* I LOST! BUT, I made it to Round 3 out of 5 Rounds of the competition! Not too bad, eh? Let’s me know that I’m on the right track. It was a good exercise and I challenged myself. Who can hate on that?
