About this episode

Comedian Drew Lynch drops in to talk about his latest stand-up special, Concussed. He and Bridget discuss overcoming life's adversities including the head injury he suffered a decade ago, how it led him to comedy, what it taught him, and how at the end of the day it's how you respond to life's adversities that determines your character. They cover the grind of feeding the algorithm, how social media can rob you of things that used to be fulfilling, boxing yourself into your own brand and getting stuck there, addictive personalities, the ins and outs of running your own business, struggling with imposter syndrome, and why Drew's mom and Bridget think Yellowstone is so good.
