Philosophy vs. Improv

  1. 16. Juni

    Ms. Philosophy vs. Improv w/ Mary and Jenny

    What would PvI be with zero masculine energy? This episode features your usual co-host Mary Hynes and our frequent guest Jennifer Hansen (philosopher at St. Lawrence University). They have a one-on-one chat about being hot in a hostile world, interacting with AI, fighting with parrots, and they act out scenes involving the f*cks store and the actress who is too perfect. There is a lot of reclaiming one’s power and rejecting negativity and other things perhaps anathema to Mark’s sensibility, but you should tell us what YOU think. Image Note: This was a silly idea of Mark’s prior to the actual recording, which should perhaps better be called “Tall Poppies,” or something like that, but it seems a legit feminist point to make that a la “Ms. Pac-Man,” there’s a weird presumption that non-human cartoon characters are by default male, and that the female product thus must be indicated by the addition of a feminine-coded cosmetic element.

    Aphoristically w/ Andrea Roccella

    Mark and Mary are joined by Andrea, an Italian teacher with a broad performing background who’s written a book of philosophical, poetic aphorisms called Think Town: self-help reflections and directives about fear, ego, happiness, etc. There’s a long history of aphorisms in philosophy (Nietzsche, Heraclitus, Confucius, Laozi), and philosophy invented the self-help genre (the Stoics among others), but how does philosophy work given the lack of argumentation? We explore the monster under the bed, AI agents, making philosophy personally applicable, being receptive, DOT ego secretions, and more. Image Note: This is one of the options that MidJourney gave me given the directive to represent the concept of aphorisms. I was picturing, what, little dialogue bubbles with nonsense text in them? AI is clearly a bit disturbed here, and my demonstrating this is a good use of Tennessee lakes. You can choose to watch this on YouTube: Hear more PvI.

    Mark and Mary in the Triboobal Aftermath

    We are REELING from our REDACTED episode, and so we talk about the lessons we learned from that and start thinking about what it is to be out of one’s comfort zone: How do fear and ego issues interact? Is playfulness a lack of professionalism? Are both arrogance and humility products of fear? Plus, cutting-edge surgery reality shows, Schrödinger’s hostile cat and Dr. Brenda’s sentient food samples, Bishop Jim vs. Trudy the Innocent, and more! Image note: The prompt for MidJourney was “a three-breasted angry cat, as if drawn by a child.” This was the only one of eight options that gave me three of anything. Clearly MidJourney is not down with three-boob fetishism. You can choose to watch this unedited on YouTube: Hear more PvI.

    PREVIEW-BONUS EPISODE: Redacted Acting Coach

    Every PvI recording is an experiment, and in this case, our guest (a bigwig acting coach in NYC whom I went to high school with) didn’t feel great about the episode, so I offered to paywall it. Here you get to hear what you’re missing, along with a little pitch about why you should support the show. To respond affirmatively to this pitch and hear (and see!) the whole episode, visit patreon.com/philosophyimprov. The episode was a great learning experience, and our next Mark & Mary episode will spend time talking about it, so any true PvI fan will want to hear it.

    Full Bird Mode w/ BJ Lange

    BJ is an LA improviser/actor/TV host (who teaches wounded warriors among others), and he chats with Mark and Mary about migratory patterns, TV shows that date you, how to draw in students, the realness of birds, and playing unsafe characters. Scenes include a forced-Fargo college experience, improv class on the roof, spying on birds, and keyboard warriors. Plus Marge and Larry. Why did Mary have a 3am call time for some theater thing? You will not know. Watch this episode (without the post-game) on unedited video: Follow him at @bjcomedy. Image note: The children’s pictures of birds were swiped from here. Hear more PvI.

    Mary and Mark Astro-Logically

    In this pitched, high-stakes battle, your hosts have it out about astrological biases, doing offensive accents, letting go of control in an improv scene, and group-based restrictions on who you feel you date. OK, actually, it’s not a battle, but an illustration of how the dynamics of changing one’s mind works: Despite what you might be reading or who might be lecturing at you or demonstrating something for you, you invariably have to do the work yourself. Does Jesus have time to appear on your toast? Are all TV characters robots in a shared robot universe? Are zodiac signs based on serial killer characteristics? How does Pluto FEEL about not being a planet any more? So many vital questions definitively addressed in one meditation together… You can choose to watch this on unedited video: Image note: we’re taking a break from AI art this week, as planets are a slam dunk for actual kid art, and this one is by Amulya Altagi, shortlisted in an actual painting competition.

    Earning Crazy Town w/ Jenny Hansen

    St. Lawrence philosophy prof Jennifer L. Hansen, one of the most frequent guest on Mark’s podcasts and expert in feminist philosophy, here hits it off with our new host Mary. We act out vegan jerky time, snacktime at the all-girls clubhouse, and two gals getting pulled over by a cop. Does the “come debate me” style of philosophy include unnecessarily masculine tropes? How does this Charlie Kirk model relate to what Socrates was doing? What are alternative, fun ways to get students to talk in philosophy classes? The inspirational figure that Mary refers to is Viola Spolin. Sponsor: Visit squarespace.com/LINSENMAYER (code LINSENMAYER) for a free trial and 10% off your first website or domain. Hear more PvI.

You can choose to watch this unedited on YouTube (without the post-game): Image note: In asking MidJourney to draw me “crazy town,” its only way of interpreting that image was to give me variations where the buildings are of various bright colors. This option I thought was exceptional in that it seems like the town is being bombed, which seemed morbidly appropriate given current goings-on.

    Mary and Mark Pick Their Battles

    What is it worth raising an objection over, and how hard do you fight? We hear (and act out) Mary’s roommate-searching trauma, plus Mary for President, curiosity about bellicose Twitter, respect vs. reverence, rationality and religion, dealing with QAnon believers, family Thanksgiving, giving someone else a name, vegetarianism, and the angel of philosophy. Here’s that Steve Harvey show clip where Mary was on TV. Here’s that PEL episode on Richard Rorty on truth and religion that I mention. Hear more PvI.
