This is philosophy versus improv where two sages try to teach each other a thing or two,

and maybe you, the audience, gets something out of it as well.

Hey, this is Mark Linsonmeyer, serving as your primary focus for the philosophical energy coming

from the universe today.

I am Mary Hines, and I am bringing the improvisational energy.

But we are doing sort of a prismatic sort of thing. We have a familiar voice.

Hello. This is Seth. Secondary philosophical energy, I guess.

I mean, it's just all, it's all in the circuit. Yeah, so folks who've heard the partial exam in life, we'll probably recognize that Seth is a long time co-host of mine there, but has never been on this show. Had you even listened to this show? Be honest. Two episodes. Okay. But a long time ago when you first started, and I don't remember exactly which ones they were. Very memorable. That's great. But a long time ago when you first started and I don't remember exactly which ones they were.

Very memorable. That's great. But probably it was when my improvisation was quite bad. So this should make you feel more comfortable about the addition that it's, you know, it's the talking. It's the free-form talking like we do in the nightcap stuff,

but we're adding an element.

And the implication there is that your improvisation has become good?

Is that?

I've done it for four years, so it's less intolerable.

Let me put it that way.

It doesn't necessarily make me cringe.

But Mary can help make sure that we newbies, some which are slightly newer than

others, don't fall into a giant pit of despair. Gotcha. Yeah, because there's no snacks in the pit

of despair. And honestly, it's really dirty. And it's just the pit of despair is not up to code.

And honestly, that's my bad for letting that slip. And I'm sorry. I'm fairly certain the pit of

despair is in my front yard. Oh, is it? Well, it's a floating location. Yes. Well, at least temporarily. And that's what's been a, I had to have an electrician come out. And he climbed down into the pit of despair. To light your pit of despair, because it is so much nicer when you have some little colored lights up in the pit of despair.

Exactly.

Yeah.
