It's our office holiday party, where we engage in chit-chat then enter into a few holiday scenes. Is there any philosophy content in this one at all? We do talk a bit about status and authority. Was there any particular improv lesson? We forgot to actually lay out our lessons at the end, and (SPOILER) declined to name a winner.


Mark philosophizes at partiallyexaminedlife.com. Bill improvises (and teaches) at chicagoimprovstudio.com.

It’s our office holiday party, where we engage in chit-chat then enter into a few holiday scenes. Is there any philosophy content in this one at all? We do talk a bit about status and authority. Was there any particular improv lesson? We forgot to actually lay out our lessons at the end, and (SPOILER) declined to name a winner.

Our Post-Game discussion is a mere 2.5 minutes long, so we’ve thrown it into your listening bargain. It’s oozing with holiday good will that you probably need given that the holidays are now weeks behind us.

The holiday image is by someone named Ava who was a child in 2005 when this was posted.

If you’d prefer to watch this as video, do so.
