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 & Cousin Teddy w/ Adam Ray (feat. Uncle Bob)
Get ready for some absolute chaos… (FYI this is one of those episodes that is best watched on YouTube by clicking here) You’re about to find out what happens when Comedian Adam Ray and Cousin Teddy meet in Cleveland to smoke with Rick and his dad and discuss absolutely nothing. Steve monologues why Teddy was robbed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and questions Adam Ray’s 9th appearance for the title of most featured guest appearances. Rick ingests some KIVA edibles to make the conversation tolerable as the room fills so densely with smoke we can barely make out the Goblin poops. We get some “The Vegas Dads” flashbacks and Teddy brags in the form of a eulogy. Also we hear and see more of Momma Glassman’s Craft Corner and Rick phones some comedy friends. Teddy gives his hot stock tips, and you guessed it. We... MEET UNCLE BOB! Again… so it's a real family affair. comment below which Glassman deserves their own solo episodes!!

Bobby Lee 3.0
THE LOST EPISODE OF BOBBY LEE… This episode was recorded a few days BEFORE Bobby Lee 2.0. It includes everything you’d expect from a Rick & Bobby Episode like OCD panics, backhanded compliments, penis comparisons, and of course projectile poops. Bobby tries to convince Rick his career is more diverse and expansive than Jo Koy’s. Rick begins to unpack Bobby’s discomfort with stand-up, especially an awkward interaction with Bill Burr in his early days of performing on stage. The boys attempt some very poor dialects and accents when discussing auditioning, finding themselves in the industry, and recording bootleg sketches. We also have a little cameo by comedy’s own Mr Potato Head, Erik Griffin.

Bobby Lee 2.0
BOBBY LEE IS BACK! The guest that needs no introduction, the TigerBelly King himself! This episode starts just as oddly as his first appearance on TYSO… Bobby explains that this is in fact his second recording of Rick's podcast in a week. The first derailed by his use of Beta-Blockers. We see fragmented flashbacks of the previous recording and Rick tries to focus the show… literally. But second time is a charm, and the two jump straight into trying to understand their connection or lack thereof, why Bobby feels belittled and whether or not they’re the same species. Bobby updates us on his career and what would happen if “they” took podcast away forever. Finally Rick decides it times to teach Bobby about Magic The Gathering to which he become fascinated and decides its about time he invested in some collectables himself (around 35 minutes in, you'll hear a 1 minute teaser from when Rick unboxes 3 comics he bought with his mom). We know you’ll love this bonkers episode, one that only the combination of Rick and Bobby could create.

Erik Griffin 6.0 (featuring Betty)
He’s a TYSO favorite… ERIK GRIFFIN IS BACK for a SIXTH time! The podcaster and comedian ropes Betty into a threesome… podcast episode! (At first I bet you though we meant we all f*cked each other! hahaha. NOPE! Get your head out of the gutter you dirt bag). Our Host, his girlfriend, Betty, and Erik dive deep into relationships, relationship rules, and honesty. We hear about why Betty was attracted to Rick (and it's not just because he knows a LOT about wine) as Erik enquires how she manages with all Rick's “things” including house rules and autism. Erik divulges about his own relationship, whether or not he’s supposed to really tell the truth, and what exactly became of the “Yoga room” in his new home. The three then touch on the complicated topic of sex changes/trans issues, which leads to the interesting query: when do you expose all of yourself in a new relationship? Finally we introduce MOM’S CRAFT CORNER… comment below how much you’d pay for one of #MommaGlassman's perfect creations. And again... more ads... this time we think Rick and family really nailed them, so by supporting the brands, you’re supporting more Glassman family ads... and we know you definitely want to do that.

Anders Holm
WE DID IT!! WE COLLECTED ALL THE WORKAHOLICS GUYS!! Anders Holm aka “Ders” finally completes the collection of Workaholics On TYSO! Anders immediately questions why his original episode with Rick was shelved and worries if this one will ever see the light of day… They discuss their worries about getting old, arthritis and Ders show us his lovely bumps. The two get into a DEEP discussion about “Big Toilet” and how the corporation of toilet makers is against us all. The toilet chat highjacks a large portion of the entire episode and Rick gets a well known manufacturer of one of the biggest of Big Toilet…Kohler on the phone to ask some hard hitting questions. We get to anxiously watch Rick play the Phone-Mute Game that he invented/mastered and he and Anders argue over whether or not Rick is really holding them accountable and why he should have pressed “0”. Anders teaches us all how to write a TV script (with examples), Rick retells the story of Mom Pooping on Betty’s Rug, and enquires about big celebrities who follow the Workaholics star but who he refuses to follow back. Der’s interrogates our host about some never-to-be-released episodes in the vault at TYSO, and why Der’s former episode sit’s among them. Oh and you may have seen the handsomest of the dads, Mr Steve Glassman, featured in the ads for this week's episode...

Ali Macofsky
She’s one of the most requested guests from the TYSO goblins… Comedian Ali Macofsky! This episode is all about stand up, audience connection, and documenting their career origins… also its about Ali getting jizzed, pooped and peed on like a pro by our resident Goblin. While exceeding our animation budget, the two managed to discuss why Ali looks up to Rick, what its like starting stand up at 18, and being an audience member for each other. They start to dissect comedy math like only Rick and his guests can do when Ali questions if her “low energy” personality is in fact her Unique Selling Point. Ali wonders if she’s bombing on the episode because Rick’s too quick and she feels like she can’t keep up. Cut to snapping goblin poop all over her as Rick's Kiva chocolate really kicks in. The two podcasters swap discord insights, Patreon experiences, and they lament the difficulties of booking guests. Rick discusses coming back to the stage after such a long hiatus and why it scares him. While Ali documents her fast track career which see’s her now opening for Russel Peters and Joe Rogan. Ali also unpacks why wearing make up and looking good onstage isn’t always a recipe for success.

Joe Manganiello
Just when you thought Rick had interviewed all the STRONG MEN of Hollywood... Joe Manganiello drops in to the TYSO studio. The Magic Mike star comes brandishing his rescue chihuahua, Bubbles, and gets acquainted with Rick and the Shoe’s Off podcast universe. The two bond over a deep childhood love of Arnold Schwarzenegger and superheroes. They discuss Joe’s game of choice, Dungeons & Dragons, and what it was like for both of them at school to have such fringe “nerd” interests (go check out Ricks episode with Magic The Gathering expert The Professor). They discuss Joe’s successful high school athletic career and Joe speaks on “Type Casting” which is why he’ll never play Stephen Hawking. They debate relationship stereotypes and Rick tells why he doesn’t want to feel obligated to kiss on a first date or open the car door for his love interests. Meanwhile, Joe discusses his romantic instincts and how he prepared for his last first kiss. They dive into a very considerate conversation that gets Rick a little emotional and Joe champions our hosts eccentricities.

Dax Shepard 2.0
We went to the top of the podcast mountain for this epic guest... Dax Shepard!! He’s back for a 2.0 that's so long and fantastic, you’re basically getting 2 episodes in one (so buy a Helix mattress or some Mack Weldon)! Rick discusses his podcast set up and Dax marvels at the studio/living room situation. They discus being "chivalrous" men, defending women (kinda), and natural instincts. Dax investigates why Rick didn’t attempt to protect Kristen Bell on the 100th episode debacle, and Rick tries to defend his natural instincts to not get in physical confrontation unless it's worth it. Dax enquires about Rick's work ethic and the length he goes to make each podcast episode. Rick gets to ask some "tough questions" about The Armchair Expert move to Spotify and how incredible Dax’s life (simulation) is. We get some explanation about diversity in guests from Dax himself and what he hypothesises about why white men love to talk about themselves. The two marvel over Dave Chapelle being one of the greatest orators of our generation, and lots of goblin stuff of course!

The Professor (Magic: The Gathering expert)
Having a podcast allows us to showcase some incredible people, and this week is no different... This week's guest isn’t our typical comedian/entertainer, but he is THE PROFESSOR!… Of Tolarian Community College, which isn’t so much a college and actually a #1 Magic The Gathering Youtube channel! If you aren't too familiar with Magic The Gathering, it doesn't matter because this episode is about so much more than just a trading card game (that being said, during this episode, Rick DOES open a package that contains a very rare, early 90's booster box). Immediately The professor (aka Brian Lewis) and Rick bond over similar anxieties and being uncomfortable in the world outside their safety net. Brian recounts his friendless childhood, barking like a dog at school, and being likened to Forest Gump as a teen. Rick connects to Brian's inability to find his tribe and finds a through line in his own life with finding comedy. Now running a successful YouTube with hundreds of thousands of subscribers and a lucrative patron, Brian insists that “The Gathering” remains the most important part of playing the game. Rick unpacks Brian's career from Teachers assistant to successful YouTuber, his opinions on collectables and how Magic The Gathering ’s rules make it easier to navigate than this complicated world. This is the episode for anyone who didn’t fit in at school or is still looking for their community… he goes to show that everyone can find their people and become VERY successful in doing so.

Rick, despite his OCD lets Joel stay and even sit inside (everyone's vaccinated..blah blah blah) The two discuss Rick reintroducing himself to Joel at the Farmers Market, despite working on the film ‘A Futile & Stupid Gesture’ for weeks together. Joel takes it as a personal attack on his memory and Rick explains his seemingly odd intentions. Joel discusses the skill set of a “Host” and how he got involved in the new baking show Crime Scene Kitchen, Rick enquires about how Joel gets cast as a host so often and they discuss Chevy Chase again.
