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!

Sona Movsesian 3.0
SONA MOVSESIAN (MOV-SES-SIAN) IS BACK! Her lockdown haircut didn’t put her off coming back to the show, and this time she's allowed inside (with the caveat of many-a-rule). Rick is straight out the gates questioning Sona’s ability to NOT spill on the rug and Sona tries to unpack all the rules and fears of our host. Rick gets a live offer to officiate a wedding (I see a podcast episode in the making) and they discuss having babies. They manage to get best friend and podcast alum Brent Morin on the phone so Sona can show off her impersonation skills (spoiler alert -- she's impersonating stand up comedians), and Brent gives us a taste of some old stand-up material. Sona vents about her annoyance with funny people and the way their minds work, and Rick gives us a sneak peek at his new stand-up set. Our guest gives a TYSO plug for future guests, they dive into Rick's history of bombing, and the episode turns into pure smut beyond this… Its basically poop, pee, penises, cunnalingus and beyond from the half way mark… so hide your children.

David Sullivan TYSO PATREON UNLOCKED
A special episode from the TYSO Patreon vault! Earlier this year, David Sullivan (Actor, Acting Coach, and Funniest Friend Of Rick Glassman) dropped by the ‘Balcony Sessions’ to help Rick decompress from a long string of episode recordings and his freshly unlocked anxiety. David, a seasoned actor from "Flaked" And Amazon’s ”The Wilds," nervously steps into the TYSO podcast world to shine a little light on anxiety, interacting with others and when to move on from embarrassment. Rick tries to unpack his mini- meltdown during the Taran Killam episode and why he was so stuck on it. They discuss the wild and wonderful way Sullivan made it to Los Angeles, Going to film festivals, winning awards, and meeting Chris D’Elia. Oh and of course … a dance break.

Dad & Marc 2.0 - The Marshall Rug Boys
THIS WEEK'S GUEST IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PERFORMER AND ENTERTAIN…. OH WAIT THAT GUEST CANCELLED. This week's last minute guests are two thirds of The Vegas Dads, one, a carpet king, the other, the prince of rugs. You know them as Dad Glassman and Marc Wien (with feature-- The Uncle Bob of the carpet family, Marc's brother, Chuck)! This family episode opens up with Dad breaking the audio equipment, so apologies for any further issues or if you’re upset about the lack of headphones. The Marshall Empire roundtable discuss the issue of Rick's guest canceling day-of, and how a simple “sorry” gets you a little slack. As we deal with ongoing technical difficulties, Mark thinks up a t-shirt design and tells us about blackjack or poker or something (Betty here, I zoned out with the gambling chat…but I’m sure you’ll all love it). Rick wants the Dad's to acknowledge that the Marshall rug and carpet store sales have SKYROCKETED since the podcast mentions and discusses the commercial… more specifically SWEATPANT-GATE. Rick adds another family business into the mix. Cousin Iris, the 94year young Entrepreneur and manufacturing mogul, sells her wears including the perfect dusting gloves and doorstops… alongside your Marshall's Rug, you’ll be living in a true goblin palace. The remainder of the episode features old dads discussing apple watches, the latest trends in robberies, and who has the biggest SHVANTZ ever. Can you believe we nearly had another guest on?!?

Haley Reinhart
Singer Haley Reinhart makes her debut on TYSO! She’s an American Idol alum, Voiceover artist, actress, and all round superstar performer! Haley not only gives an impromptu performance but also shines a light on growing up with musician parents, performing as a toddler, and what her goals and dreams are. We all know Rick loves a singer, so he excitedly unpacks performance, being unique, cover songs, and of course sets the stage for a flawless rendition of Elvis’ “Can't Help Falling In Love.” And of course the Goblin comes to play… and relieve himself mid interview. Ricky and Rug King Steve give us this week's chaotic ad reads and we launch a NEW SWEATSHIRT https://www.rickglassman.com/stockroom/marshall-rugs-sweatshirt Support our sponsor to support the TYSO animation budget :HELIX SLEEP: Helix is offering up to 200 dollars off all mattress orders AND two free pillows for our listeners at HTTP://HELIXSLEEP.COM/TYSO .

George Lopez
And We’re Back! George Lopez returns to his old neighbourhood (which happens to be where the TYSO studios are) to reminisce about houses burning down, growing up and the neighborhood prejudice. The two sit down to unpack George’s origin story and how his childhood struggles shaped him and why he wants to work on his personal issues of quitting too soon and cool kid gangs. The veteran comic gives us a nugget of wisdom: " Never let the audience be better dressed than you," which Rick disagrees with, having tried a three-piece suit on stage to no avail. And Rick questions whether or not George would have had as much success in his career without his perfect hairline? The comedians marvel over the fact that George’s kidney transplant got him a guest starring in Curb Your Enthusiasm! George wonders how long he’ll continue his podcast "OMG! With George Lopez" and why brand sponsorships are his new pursuit (just like Shaq)…cut to BEER COMMERCIAL https://www.instagram.com/georgelopezbrewingco !

Howie Mandel
Howie Mandel arrives at the only place on earth he doesn’t need to worry about germs... the TYSO studio (YOUTUBE EP. AVAILABLE TUESDAY). Rick and Howie slowly realize this may be an alternative universe and Rick is possibly the America’s Got Talent judge's cloned younger self. Howie becomes the first guest to actually approve of the TYSO home studio and marvels at Rick's achievements as they dive into conversations about investing, OCD, and where Bobby from "Bobby's World" is today. We get the voiceover for the Marshall Rug Gallery commercial we didn’t know we needed and find out why Rick is the Scorsese of podcasts. As the conversation progresses, the two comics start to realize the parallels in their lives, most notably growing up as outsiders, getting in trouble at school, and not knowing when they’ve gone too far. Rick challenges Howie’s outlook on caring about the audience's opinion and what the intention of jokes and pranks really are. Howie gives us his origin story and how he came up in the industry, as well as a brilliant anecdote about being banned from the Tonight Show. They round out the episode with a really interesting chat, unpacking intention and survival which makes Rick emotional, only to be given an inspirational chat from Howie that honestly… we all could use .

Cassius Marsh (NFL, Magic: The Gathering)
CASSIUS MARSH SR! That’s right, the NFL linebacker and newest addition to the Chicago Bears/card shop owner just barely remembers to turn up for this TYSO episode. Thankfully the trading card enthusiast makes it to the couch just in time for a geeked out Magic: The Gathering Episode! Rick discusses how he likes to interview new guests, and why he prefers to not converse before cameras are rolling. Cassius details growing up athletic and how he found his way into football, why coaches can’t be trusted, and the reality of college. The two try to uncover where Kel (Of Keenan & Kel) has been and they reach out to get some questions answered- LETS GET HIM ON THE POD!! Rick enquires about the sportsman’s history with Magic: The Gathering and what ignited his love for the game & collectables in general. They also breakdown MTG game styles and cards they love. Rick may just have made a new friend, as the gracious CASH CARDS owner invites him to the unboxing event of the year… Which has since happened and you can watch it here! Rick shows Cassius some new purchases… cue the UNBOXING! And the two act like real collectors getting into the nitty gritty of cards, collections, ratings, spells, and unboxing.
