Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman
Hi, I'm Rick Glassman, and I'm a goofy guy and a cute boy. As a kid, I had debilitating OCD. I still have a lot of “things.” The title of my podcast “Take Your Shoes Off” is a microcosm of my need for control and order in a world that... keeps their shoes on.
I created this podcast to showcase a more serious side, as I have conversations with some of the funniest and most interesting people in the world. I’ve learned the language of comedy in an attempt to survive this shoes-on world, so of course there will be some goofs and spoofs, but think of this podcast as you being a fly on the wall, as opposed to being an audience member in a theatre.
Please, take your shoes off, and enjoy!

Dad & Teddy - 200th episode!!
The first ever recorded episode of "Take Your Shoes Off" was Dad & Cousin Teddy. Since then, over the past 4 years, the pair have taken their shoes off 7...now 8 times to get high, talk music, play music, rap music, try and figure out what Uncle Bob does for a living, and have absolutely amazing giggle fits. We, at TYSO, are SO proud of this podcast. And I (Rick) am so proud of how much all you #Goblins and #GlassmanBoppers have come to love Dad & Teddy.
