So, Brian calls in an expert from the bullpen (or his living room) to help. Matt and Brian discuss the Spokane (or the Pretty Flower), how it works, why it's so much darn fun, the similarities to other forms, and why it's a great primer form for an audience.
Side note: Brian struggled to think of a TV episode type to explain the Spokane and ran out of time. Since he writes this summary he'll...

Matt dives into the types of info to look for during an opener or story that would lead to scenes in an improv show. Brian talks about his love for the weird details! They are two different humans!

What do they like about Montage? Why is Brian unable to say what he likes without being negative? Maybe he's tired.

We're back for season 3! We'll cover a forms, some random topics, and who knows what else. Thanks for coming back and spending 15 minutes (or so) with us!

Brian is grilled about topics that are hard like versatility & expertise (he is immediately confused), competitiveness in an improv community, sharing opportunity, what Brian looks for when asking people to play with him, and then Matt calls Brian a dick. It happens!

Matt & Brian attempt (fail?) to describe what Beats are when it comes to improv, type of beats, their preferred types of beats, and how the Avengers movies are awesome Time Dash Beats. Matt also tips his hand on what we're going to cover in Season 3!

Is it possible to be a character AND the voice of reason? What kind of influence can a voice of reason have a wacky scene. How can you practice being an effective voice of reason?
