What’s Your Body Count? | Rick & Esther Have a Time | #4

[@populousmass]

I like that the premise for this show is just them struggling to peacefully exist in a room for an hour.

[@LaLaLara971]

another tough listen, thanks guys!

[@jzpat]

It’s because of her. I’m 3 minutes in and I already know we’re going to get the same thing from her.

[@joseh-cristobal]

You should try watching it 😅

[@summerlang9774]

Then how about this? Don’t watch it. Hate people who complain but yet they are the ones clicking on the video. Like go away nobody cares. 😅

[@joseh-cristobal]

@@summerlang9774 not trying to hate, but any comments or views ultimately continue to help grow the channel hence more watches and more clicks from random viewers that may or may not come down here and comment. Either way lets continue engaging commenting and liking the video. 👍

[@ohisee9173]

I took this comment as playful but I guess I could be wrong 😅

[@sheffa7]

I have an idea for a segment. Rick makes a critical remark about Esther and she has until the next episode to think of the best comeback.

Sometimes??? I feel like I sober up when the conversation is normal and it suddenly goes to this butthead making faces. Lmfaooooo

[@hjmarcellus]

“You fix your hair like a pretty girl, where’d you learn that?” Rick is the definition of “death by a thousand cuts” 😂😂😂

I want some of that fucking cereal

[@phonkey]

I assume she's his step grandma. It's not always clearly stated in these kinds of videos.

[@agoogleuser7784]

I love Rick but this episode shows a side of him that I find intriguing . He literally explained the point and premise of his argument to Esther while unknowingly describing the exact point and premise of her counter argument. The tough part was when Esther pointed that out to him he was unwilling to acknowledge that his very logic could be used against him. He is brilliant but needs to be careful to not feel as though he is infallible and that his ideas are guaranteed to exist without flaw. At times he shows narcissistic tendencies, but I’m not sure if it is true narcissism or simply just his critically objective mind on the spectrum grasping for absolute certainty in situations of true uncertainty.

[@patmanpow1173]

I feel like sometimes Esther comes to play and Rick doesn't like the specific game she's playing, and then it turns into 30 minutes of serious talk. Which I'm here for!! But I'm humbly requesting silly Rick for future episodes ;D

[@jayswizzle57]

I hope Rick had a good cry after the episode.

[@boldbileg]

This podcast feels like couples therapy for a couple that has been divorced for 10 years and are in therapy for God-knows-why...

[@AXharoth]

hahah

[@alec9527]

Esthers thirsty dog tongue reaction is her last defense before complete and utter mental collapse

[@Skullysogservices]

I cant wait until the episode when Rick actually looses it on Esther for real, you can see it getting closer and only episode 4, I'm betting on #9.

[@YoutubSosetXui]

I go with 7

[@internaut4257]

Ah yes, a rickplosion pool, 50 bucks on episode 7!

[@taylorb4014]

I feel guilty for how fascinated I am by their dynamic after the last one on tyso where they talk about privacy

[@WTFIsThisGuyDoing233]

Same. It's clearly not going to be a long running series.

[@jzpat]

It’s going to get old.. it already is. Ricks is great though. So that’s where I stand lol.

[@Farris2K]

Why does this work so well? I haven't laughed at a podcast so hard in years.

[@Luna-fc6rr]

The loading phase with Grumpy Rick and Hungry Esther. This was…fun actually. Glad I hung in there. Hope you two keep this going. Very entertaining in an unusual way. Good unusual, not weird unusual.

[@vexistentialist]

I respond to this by saying: Keep doing what you're doing...it's fantastic. Esther is still the most captivating, quirky and beautiful woman alive. Rick is the most consistently funny person I watch on KZbin, which is a fairly large pool of folks. Together, a powerhouse of very different styles of both comedy & candid conversation, that just works.

[@cavemanvi]

She’s doing the same thing over and over and it’s genuinely unfunny. Rick’s wit and responses are what I’m here for. It’s like stress testing a genius and that’s why I’m enjoying it.

[@NightWindsMusic]

@@cavemanviand boy are my arms tired

[@freddyfootstomps6557]

Damn she slammed Rick with the replenish video and he got in his feelings for a minute lmao

[@thevilaemina]

Great episode - I love listening to y’all explore your dynamic in jokes and serious conversation. Rick brings the depth out of Esther, I enjoy seeing her outside of her aspiring hot girl bit. I like the real Esther! And Rick is impressively emotionally intelligent. Hope you keep the episodes coming if you’re able to ❤

[@-Osiris-]

I love it when Esther gets Rick back!

[@shirlynnekislin-golan8196]

I love it! I feel like I’m with family when these two are together. It’s a mixture of annoyance, foolishness, anxiety and laughter…. Absolutely wonderful!!!!

[@Ozzystar]

You're allowed to have bad days, thanks for not cutting the episode and letting the fan base in. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

[@alexbaginski9513]

This whole beginning is gold 😂 “call me mama”

[@NativeIntelligenceCheckMyDJmix]

Yes....The Best I like crazy agro Rick in this ep

[@StoryLoreStudio]

That ad with Rick and his girl for that magic spoon comedy gold.

[@kausdjinform7469]

I actually find these kinds of conversations so informative. Play with friends can be so nuanced. 😂 I love you guys together. Keep navigating these waters 🤙

[@easyasmdb]

Rick gets everything except that Esther little-sistering and doing this little distractions works perfect and it’s funnier when he bulldozes over them. I like Esther’s humor too :) let’s let her do it.

[@whoosh_angel]

Yes! It’s her way of doing bits and being playful and Rick needs to say “yes and” more!

[@patmanpow1173]

100%, I hope Rick can come a little more silly in the future

[@ChristinaSimpson]

Agreed!! You got it - it’s that little sister energy

[@chryblsmbby]

i love when she riles him up ngl it makes his reactions so funny

[@Snowkone81]

There are so many times I wish Esther would just jump across and slug Rick. I know it's all in fun like 2 siblings, but she's got the patience of a saint for not throwing her shoes at him from time to time lol.

[@parkermattern6314]

Discovered this show last week and I’m so excited to watch them as they come out

[@zachh2213]

YES Rick finally fully disected & called out the projection thing. It's not a good bit; If it even is a bit. On that note, I think it would have been good to call out/ question if she's lying about it being a bit. I can see it being playful possibly. But she is certainly trying to catch him and you can see her whole posture change when she goes into that mode.

[@tonesmith6853]

I really hope they can tolerate each other cuz I really like them together 😄

[@1hannahlewis]

I feel like I’m watching my parents fight

[@eddiepantaleon2803]

That cereal commercial tho😂

[@bigrcc99]

I love this podcast…it’s like if a nerve ending had a stream of consciousness…

[@scopicstuff]

I admire Rick's self-knowledge, but him not being able to handle any suggestions about himself that he doesn't approve of screams insecurity. Or maybe the coffee hadn't kicked in yet. Idk, this was almost too much lol

[@inlivincolor710]

I’m usually 100% with Rick on most things, but he was kind of annoying/downer and super over explaining today. Love tho. Props to Esther for being so patient.

[@candicesanchez3753]

You ARE such a great communicator, Rick. I love how self aware you are! I wish more people were like you! Another thing I wanted to point out is that it seems like Esther is somewhat trying to be a little less abrasive with you, and I know today it was a difficult task because you did come in with the disclaimer of you not having it in you, but she tried after a few minutes and I appreciate that. You guys have this “brother-sister” dynamic that is objectively funny and I like it. I hope she keeps it up and works on that a little more. Love the videos, please keep ‘em coming! ❤

[@lourdddes]

Esther is looking extra pretty this ep 🧚‍♀️💞

[@FluffyMatzahBalls]

Rick feeling PARTICULARLY sensitive lately 😂😂😂

[@drunkwizard]

Right? I thought it was just me! Like damn bro stop being such a little bitch 😆 Letting the girl you make fun of get under your skin so easily and complaining more than she does makes you look sensitive and weak 😅

[@jzpat]

You’re watching all these episodes right? Ester is unbearable. I felt like it since their second episode. Same old shit with her

[@cassandra811]

​@@jzpatThere is literally nothing, and I mean nothing, to her. She's just.... There. Idk why Rick got into this lol.

[@6.s.a.m]

This was such a rollercoaster episode. I love it because we got to see growth and real talk between Rick and Esther

[@JuneMugg]

I feel like I’m either not getting the joke or misunderstanding the vibes For the past idk how many episodes Ester will make 1 joke/poke at him and Rick proceeds to cut the music, prove her wrong, when she goes “it’s a joke” he acknowledges it but doesn’t change his behavior the next time she goes to poke at him. When she does have good line, he’ll say “first time you said something funny in whatever” I feel like if you have to tell people how much you love yourself, there’s something there. Or if he feels like she’s not listening he’ll take his ball and go home, and say “you do a podcast alone i’ll say nothing n see how you feel“ I feel like all the other podcasts I’ve seen with Rick and comics, no other comic has had to fight this much for what they’re saying/doing.

[@WrestlingIsTerrible]

yeah... I feel the same. It's too bad that he insists that his perspective is THE TRUTH. Don't get me wrong- it's great to have conviction but it's awful for dialogue to tell others they're wrong because they see things differently. I give Esther so much credit for trying to navigate this minefield

[@JuneMugg]

@@WrestlingIsTerrible Yeah I feel like he’s trying to control too much about her when she is what she is. The dynamic is has switched from “friends bantering” to something i don’t really know.

[@smartbrianS]

I would love to keep watching Rick and Esther keep having real serious conversations. I feel like Esther is one of the few people that can contribute greatly since she seems to be working on herself and trying to learn and improve herself. Rick is always #1 of course, but would be cool if he gave Esther some slack. Not everyone is as self aware and in tune with detail and understanding things like Rick and us Neuro divergent people.

[@LBones01]

I love Esther but the vibe I get is that she loves to *talk about* working on herself. I get that her schtick is the hot girl vibe but in an ugly girl (she's def not ugly tho) but she really does seem to get lost in the dumb hot girl thing far too often.

[@smartbrianS]

@@LBones01 I know what you mean, I feel the same, but at least you can see her improving and being real compared to others like Khalayla and Whiynry Cummings

[@ohisee9173]

@@smartbrianS bruh what? Khalyla is "real" a lot. She's the main reason we get to see Bobby be real, because she calls him out and grounds the convos instead of solely going for bits.

[@ohisee9173]

Does Esther not have ADHD or anything? Because this really feels like an ASD-ADHD dynamic. I have ADHD and Rick would hate me because I get distracted and look away and even when I'm straight staring, my listening ears turn off and I have to hope I get enough context to catch up after I tune back in. I also am not submissive like Esther so we would be at each other's necks..... Oh my god, I just realized that this is exactly why Annie let up on Esther when Rick went on their pod. She even became a bit defensive of Esther, which is how I would react too.

[@evwetzel]

this episode shows how Rick can dish it but can’t take it, what a baby. love them both i hope he doesn’t think there’s depth within that comment… oh wait…

[@whoosh_angel]

Esther: “guess what I have a response 👹 to you bringing up my parents!”

[@internaut4257]

I love this podcast so much, the dynamic between rick and esther feels like something that will get funnier and more complex over time, i hope yall make a thousand more episodes over years to come

[@adamvogt]

That Magic Spoon advert was mad, surely they can't be thrilled with that 😂😂

[@giantjungle]

So, basically what I'm getting from these last four episodes and the one tyso episode is that this should just be called " The Rick Hates Ester When She's Being Funny Even tho She's a Comedian and That's Literally Her Job - Only Rick is Allowed to Be Funny Podcast" Got it. I literally love both of them but what the hell is happening here?

[@ChristinaSimpson]

Their dynamic: Rick is joke-mean, Esther laughs Esther is joke-mean, Rick gets aggravated

[@Emannzo]

Esther forces her jokes while Rick's come out naturally. Esther's motive is to compete with the cool guy by trying to be a cooler guy. Not saying that Rick is necessarily a cool guy bit in Esther's mind he is. And that's what's so exhausting to Rick.

[@YoutubSosetXui]

Rick getting mad is reasonable but it makes podcast better for us

[@abigdyl]

@@Emannzo I think you’re just thinking way too seriously about a comedy podcast (:

[@ChristinaSimpson]

@@Emannzo also @YoutubSosetxui I think both their approaches/realities are different - one is not inherently better than the other (the two were just talking about saying a comedian is ‘bad’ is not helpful. It’s your opinion, not a fact). I think the fun as an audience member is getting to watch them navigating that difference, alternating between bits and real emotion.

[@halfrican92]

@@Emannzo get real, I love Rick and all but 80% of his jokes are forced. Rick is the prime of example of being able to dish it out but not being able to take it. Every time she starts to talk about something he cuts her off to get in some cheap throwaway joke and then says she brings nothing to the podcast. Every time she cuts him off Rick throws and tantrum a gets all pissy and tells her she can’t be serious.

[@ZessDevon]

There aren't many comedians who I could watch clear up a misunderstanding for an hour

I really like when y’all have these more meaningful conversations, even when it’s not as funny. To further that point I find it refreshing to hear y’all argue sometimes seeing that I am listening to strictly comedic pods. Keep it up I love you guys!

[@heylaady]

The anticipation of Esther looking up and seeing Rick's Esther face impersonation has me crying laughing 😂

[@marshpw]

She has the telescoping boom tripod as well, and definitely could have extended farther. What's funny is Rick has the same telescoping boom tripod and has it all the way extended (for no reason because he's only is using half of it.) That's the real problem here!!!

I also think sometimes the bits are forced on both sides. Just hearing you guys talk is great so I hope you don’t feel pressure to always be funny

This is becoming one of my favorite podcasts. I can never guess where it will go.
