This is Philosophy vs 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.

My name is Mark Linzmire, a lover of loving wisdom, who's a lover of learning improv.

My name is Bill Arnett, an improv, common-dunt, yet only a philosophy cadet excited to grow

and rank.

And our special guest today introduced yourself.

Hi, I'm Anthony LeBlanc, and I'm an improviser, comedian, and I've worked a bunch of random

jobs at different places, like Second City and currently work at Nickelodeon.

And you had some academic stuff in there too, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Some of my degrees are gonna pre-assign some physics, that's why I double major it in college.

So a lot of my philosophy things I did were through our honors program at Loyola University

in New Orleans.

Was there a requirement?

I had to do some Homer and some Republic.

Yeah, the Jesuits are cool in that way, where in high school, we actually had a philosophy,

if you're a senior, if you're an honors student, your options were philosophy as an honors

student or sociology as a regular student.

So in the end of the year, we had to do a thing where we had to defend a topic in front

of a panel for our to graduate.

So my group of four people was wore just for what means to an end, was our thing that

we had to do.
