Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman
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!

The "As We See It" Episode
This episode is sponsored by our new show, As We See It ! The show follows our characters, Jack, Harrison, and Violet– three twenty-something autistic roommates as they navigate adulthood. Also, please follow @AsWeSeeItPV on Instagram and Twitter for more updates! But also, I (Rick) want Amazon to see how successful TYSO is, so go follow and insta comment/tweet all over saying Take Your Shoes Off podcast sent you ;) Now, please welcome the cast of "As We See It!" That’s right, the show Rick has been teasing for almost 3 years is finally on Amazon Prime. Sue Ann Pien and Albert Rutecki join their cast mate and our host, Rick Glassman, for a fascinating conversation about their show, growing up on the autism spectrum, and learning to navigate life, and the entertainment industry. Rick enquires about their Amazon audition process, how they came to be actors, and what Albert said to Elizabeth Warren on his recent trip to Los Angeles. Sue Ann shares some vulnerabilities and how shooting the show helped her connect better with her family. All the while, Albert’s sunglass-ed alter ego comes out to play. "Daddy" Rick shares some "unwritten rules" he’s compiled as a sort of cheatsheet for making your way through the world-- especially if you’re neuro-divergent. Albert confesses to some struggles of his own as they all bond over strategies and tools that they’ve learnt from being on the spectrum, and having to navigate a neuro-typical world.

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.
