Comedians Rich Wilson and Esther sit down for a wildly entertaining chat that zigzags through marathons, holiday horrors, more marathons, podcasting nightmares, some more maratho0n running, and the kind of health issues that make you question if your should just stay indoors.

From near-death experiences on roundabouts to urban driving that should come with a survival kit, they tackle the chaos of modern life with plenty of laughs—and only some emotional scarring. Expect clairvoyants who couldn’t predict a bus and brutally honest takes on ADHD, anxiety, and the fine art of trying to function like a real adult.

It’s deep, it’s hilarious, it’s occasionally therapeutic—and probably cheaper than actual therapy.

Esther’s new show ‘Slagbomb’ takes a nosedive into the awkward sandwich years of life. The phase when youthful freedom gives way to the reality of adult responsibilities.
