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, it's Philosophy versus Improv.

This is Mark Lintonmeyer, gliding in from the heavens with giant spoonfuls of philosophy for you today.

And this is Bill Arnett, burrowing up from the crust with a, oh, let's say, a hobo's

bindle of improv for y'all.

We have two guests, one of whom I've spoken with many times.

Daniel O'Bell, say hello to the folks.

As it gone, folks.

And an even more special guest, even more special, your partner on the We Think It's Funny,

We Think It's Funny, that would be a different, a much worse, all puns podcast.

We Think It's Funny Podcast, Carson, carson residents star of stage and screen uh mark

shiff hello oh there well guys nice to see you yeah behind you is that you dirty laundry i'm

looking at me folks that merely listen to this and don't watch the video on youtube will not

see the amazing background that i downloaded five seconds before we went on air here.

I was looking for comedy club backgrounds.

And almost all the comedy club backgrounds have a picture of a mic in the middle,

which is, I understand, is represented of a comedy club.

But the mic, I have a mic already.

I don't need a mic behind my head.

It's also funny about Bill's, Mike, it's because of the perspective. It looks like he's talking

into like a massive piece of old NASA equipment. Yeah, look at that thing there, right. Yeah.
