Rich Templeton was sure he heard a poignant Christmas story about the band Creed.

Our first return guest! No Xavier this week, but for the first time on No Suggestion, we welcome back fan favorite, actor, comedy writer, and improv comedian, Rich Templeton (@richhunttemp)! This is actually an earnest, thoughtful, and vulnerable conversation that winds in an out of topics like the freeing power of performing, dealing with the parts of life that your don't understand gracefully, the temptation to want to make yourself small to accommodate others, the fear of knowing what you truly want, the difference between suppression and repression. This episode was recorded an few nights before Christmas, and it finds us in a pensive thoughtful mood. That doesn't, however, explain how insane the improv scenes we get into are! The scenes Rich and I come up with include the misadventures of an expectant mother at a Just Salad, and two hulking wrestlers who rely on each other for emotional support. This is a beautiful episode and we hope it adds to the loveliness, and laughter, of your holiday season. Please rate and subscribe!
