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.

I'm Mark Lintonmeier, bringing the philosophy to the table today.

And I am Mary Hines, and I believe someone ordered the charcutory board of improvisational techniques.

Yes, thank you.

I've been the board.

I think that's the best way, right, treading the boards, getting the boards out.

You got to do something with the boards.

You got to get some wood in your life.

I don't even know.

See, that's the thing about improv.

Like, I don't know.

I work so hard to not filter myself or hold myself back that sometimes things come out.

And you're like, oh.

Yep.

Yep.

So we have just had two fine guests on professionals from the the improv and uh philosophy land and

so this is our our interim episode to kind of reflect on those things and maybe keep moving forward

in our co-tudery whatever relationship and i'm realizing that when you're asking me for a definition of philosophy in our very first meeting, I believe, I didn't bring up argument, which is often taken as like, it's not just thinking clearly and broadly about important things.

It's coming up with arguments in defense of those views.

So lots of people have a philosophy.

Can people defend their philosophy with arguments?
