The episode everyone was waiting for! Matt & Brian focus on editing in improv? Sweeps, tags, timing, runs, etc! 

Our two nerds discuss the mechanics of editing, visual vs. organic edits, the timing of edits, tag outs, etc. 

Editing is the secret weapon to any strong scene, show, and team. It's like a kneecap... you know you desperately need it when it's missing.

Have you ever imagined the power of selecting your own improv team in the style of a fantasy football draft? No? Okay.

Matt and Brian decide to do this anyway but instead of selecting performers, actors, or something close to improv players they select Disney characters! Listen to them bumble names (note: When Matt said Groo he meant Krunk and Brian said Pancha. You'll get it).

Throughout the insanity they discuss team dynamics, balance of a team, and how a selfish player can totally jack up a show. Also... we're totally getting sued.

Matt & Brian decide to dedicate 15 minutes to speak about a topic that is on all humans' minds. What's the difference between making a bold choice in a scene and bulldozing! It's way trickier than they expect it to be. Our two nerds discuss who to earn a bold choice, the timing of a a "big move", we hear Matt's lovely singing voice, and Brian is not overly impressed with plumbers!

Things are still a hot mess out there and Matt & Brian take some time to talk about... not improv. Kind of. I mean... they do but, they also don't.

Okay - what have these two been up to without the "normal" routine of rehearsals, teaching, coaching, and shows? They'll share their thoughts on fueling up on inspiration, new hobbies, online shows & jams, and the past many months of not having access to a physical theater.

It's the second episode of season two and Matt and Brian are here to discuss something on the mind of all humans. What's the difference between coaching and teaching when it comes to improv?

Matt and Brian are back after taking roughly 70 years off!

Our improv heroes blow some dust off of their brains and discuss a fictional scenario where they are asked to coach a team of people who have never done improv before and... they have a big show tonight! THE PRESSURE! Extra rule: you only get ONE REHEARSAL! Holy crap this is hard to believe. 

What primary concept would they cover? What would they try to get these newbies to avoid? Are they rusty from such a long time off? Did Brian F Up his buzzer and give you, the audience, an extra 20 seconds of content? There's only one way to find out!

Matt & Brian both perform on support heavy teams and are clearly excited to cover this topic. Here them exemplify support as they constantly interrupt and talk over each other! Just kidding. Both love this topic and have a lot to share in regards to support in improv. What's the difference between support and adding too much? How can you support and not steal focus? Why is support so much fun?!?

Matt & Brian talk about Listening! It seems like it would be an easy skill to have since most of us listen to stuff every day but it's a challenging and critical skill for improv. They talk about why it's important, what "true" listening is, and ways to stay focused on listening.  This episode covers a lot of material in 15 minutes including how listening is the ultimate "yes, and" and how to totally botch the classic exercise - Three Line Scenes.

Matt & Brian try to cover as many topics as they can in 15 minutes! Is this a good idea? Maybe yes, maybe no. 

Probably no.

But they have a lot of fun covering as many audience suggestions as they can and even throw in a few of their own. Some of the topics include their opinions of the term Straight Man, Improv Super Powers, Budgets, and how they prepare for shows. This is the most valuable show yet... if the number of topics in a single episode is a value.
