Description

In an effort to show how a comedian's brain instantly "blows up" a situation to notice the funny, Chris and Mike practice some improv drills at the beginning of the episode.

This might send you Googling, "What are Tiddleywinks?"

Then Mike tells some stories from the beginning of his comedy career to teach the tips and tactics on how a new comedian can get their first booking.
