Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

1 hour 18 minutes

We get in the ring with Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (later known as just Punch-Out!!). This NES classic cleverly disguises puzzles and pattern recognition within its colorful cast of memorable pugilists. Comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) joins us to put the smackdown on one of the most beloved titles in Nintendo's library. TKO!

If you want to take an online improv class from Rich, go to www.daretofailimprov.com (first class is free!).
