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.

It's Philosophy versus Improv.

I'm Mark Linsenmeyer, guiding you through your philosophy journey today.

And I am Bill Arnett, also guiding you through your improv journey.

I wish I had something better.

I wish I had something better.

But that's all we got.

Well, luckily we have an extra guide today.

Nick, tell us about yourself.

I am Nick Armstrong.

I do a lot of improv.

I run a lot of improv spaces, rise comedy in Denver,

Improvutopia, which is an improv retreat for adults that Bill has helped us out with. And then I

help a couple other theaters like House of Comedy in Sacramento and crowd work, which is a

ticketing system. That makes it affordable for us.

All right. That's me in a nutshell. And I'm an actor on the side. Performer. Gee, on the stage.

I mean, when I can these days, you know. Yes, Bill was just trying to remember. What made you bring Nick up, as we were discussing?

I think it was just, are there any people that have a thing to talk about that's not a

book, not a book that just came out, that they just want to talk about the book the

whole time, but something that is substantial, but that is not just like, you know, a friend

of yours.
