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.

This is Bill Arnett, an improv chief of surgery, yet merely a philosophy orderly.

This is Mark Linson-Myer, a philosophy ER floating head.

Gosh, I haven't watched enough medical traumas recently to have the terminology top of mind,

but definitely a first-year resident as far as improv goes. Okay, but a resident, not a medical

student, not an undergrad. No, no, they don't let undergrads in the hospital. There's a rope. I mean, they can be patients. Our special guest, please introduce yourself. Mike Gorgone? I guess I'm going to classify myself as a hospital maintenance worker as far as my philosophy level goes. Okay, okay. Cleaning up messes, probably. So you're not the case of the week. You're not the patient of the week. That's the audience. I could be. I mean, I know usually you would think the audience of the podcast would correspond with the audience of the medical drama, but we're just assuming that nobody ever listens to our show more than once. They're cured. They don't need to come back. Yes. It's like we're aiming our content directly at the, let's say three for a good medical drama. You want three cases going at the same time, I would say. Yeah. Well, misdiagnosed one is MS. Well, misdiagnosed one. Other is some mental disorder. And then the other one is just an affair of the heart or something. I think that pretty well sums it up, yeah. Usually, like, one of the doctors ends up coming into the ER or something. Eventually, this happens. Perhaps not in the premiere. Yeah. Or it's someone they knew came into the ER and it's their best friend and now they're conflicted as to what they

got to do. Yes, of course, they can't tell anybody for their best friend. No. Yeah, because of some financial dealing or something, you know. My best friend told me that he wished he was aborted at birth. And now that he's come in at age 35, I don't know whether I should abort him or not. Yeah. It's probably MS. Let's just get him out of here. Get him out of here.

It was always his wish. 35, I don't know whether I should abort him or not. Yeah. It's probably MS.

Let's just get him out of here. Get him out of here. It was always his wish. Do you want to fill us in on what you do in terms of improv? I know we've had another member of your show. Perhaps you could remind folks. Actually, nobody saw that last one that's watching this. Okay. That's true. So I should, uh, improv wise, I am half of the hosting duo of the improvised podcast hitchhikers and appetizers set in the glorious universe of Douglas Adams,

hitchhikers guide of the galaxy, specifically in Millieways, where I play Trellis Gardein, the face of Glendar, the universe is home to plastic surgery,

the floor model at many of a plastic surgeon's waiting room. And then Bram plays Horatio Zinn, his counterpart,

to guide contributors who are too lazy to actually hitchhike around the universe and have decided to let the universe come to them at Millyways.

And they sit in Booth 42 interviewing the universe's most fascinating and interesting beings.

A fantastic podcast that I have guessed it on and can't say enough wonderful things about.

Well, I've guessed it on it, but I'm not sure if it is a scam, because my episode still has not come out after five months or whatever.

This season has been the sluggiest of slogs.

I don't understand why we can't seem to nail people down to get to the 24 episodes we are trying to get to for this.

So you want to have them all recorded, all 24 before you release any of them.

Yes.

That is crazy crazy that is a

strange amount of a plan perhaps over planning i don't know but it's just a network podcast is that what
