What did I do wrong? Bob and Rick make it look sooooo easy.

You will get a kickback if the direction of the feed is wrong or opposite of grain sometimes.
However, it is a good idea to wear a face shield. I've had few router bits break and miss my eye by inch when I wasn't using safety shields. And the stitches cost a lot more than a face shield or router.
