This week's guest is one of my favorite improvisors ever, and in my humble opinion, one of the funniest guys in #showbiz. You may know him as Jean-Ralphio from "Parks and Recreation", Yasper in "The After Party", or Clyde Oberholt on Showtime's "House of Lies." Perhaps you've heard his voice as Dewey Duck in "DuckTales", Leonardo in "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and/or as Sonic in "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"?! #MoneyBags much?!

We chat all things Mario Brothers, being present, IB Guard, and the art of improvisation (including making the awesome improv special, "Middleditch and Schwartz"). If you wanna talk about feel good energy, it's hard to not include Ben Schwartz in the conversation. Enjoy
