Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman

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.  SUPPORT TYSO BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!Oh, and if you enjoyed hearing about how Rick & Dad love Helix Sleep... then get one!

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.

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!

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.  Oh and of course this weeks sponsors!

Joel McHale comes back for his 2.0 episode. The Comedian, TV host and Actor immediately spills the milk ON A MARSHALL'S RUG!! 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.  We also get another little tease from the unreleased short film Rick made about his basketball team story that Joel featured in!  We also announce on this episode THE TYSO LIVE SHOW!

We're bringing back #TheSleepoverSeries with the three dads at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and a poetry recital.

Max Greenfield is on the balcony! You’ll know him from New Girl, The Neighborhood, The Big Short, & Promising Young Women… he’s a comedic heavy hitter and he dove right into the TYSO universe.  Rick came ready to dive into a scripted scene (thanks to successful Hollywood writer Jon DeWalt). Oh and it features a little cameo from Lamorne Morris!! Rick addresses the pimple no one can see but he’s uncomfortable with not acknowledging it (but don't worry, it'll make a huge appearance next week). They start to unpack interesting topics, like when its appropriate to improvise in an audition, Max being impressed by Rick's Marc Maron appearance, and how they both think they make great podcast guests but horrible hosts.  Max discusses meeting Rick on set of A Stupid And Futile Gesture and Rick explains how the podcast has “broken him," confusing his confidence. Max offers some perspective on dealing with embarrassment and how he’s changed his relationship with auditions, ego, and caring too much.  We get a little infomercial for Max’s new children’s book “ I Don't Want to Read This Book”  AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER here: https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Want-Read-This-Book/dp/0593326067 SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR, HelloFresh: Visit https://www.HelloFresh.com/tyso12  and use code “tyso12” for up to 12 free meals, including free shipping!

We can’t quite believe it either... Josh Groban is on the balcony!! The award winning singer, actor and philanthropist steps into the TYSO studio and gives us everything we could have hoped for. Despite meeting for the first time, the two unpack everything from connecting to song lyrics, emotional maturity, and burping during a live performance.  Rick enquires about Josh’s goofy side and what it’s like to sing duets with Sara Bareilles, Beyonce, Elton John and basically every other music icon. The two discuss social media commenting and how Rick slid into Josh’s DM’s and he loved it.  Josh details making his new album ‘Harmony’ in quarantine, virtual touring, and the value of a good producer. We hear how they share a similar perspective about live shows and how performances that feel like walking on a tightrope are the most fulfilling. Of course we couldn’t have one of the greatest singers alive on the podcast without a special performance… strings and all.  If you want to support TYSO, support its sponsors...

Originally a Patreon-only episode (Aug 2020) we thought we would make this available to the public because it's an “Inside Baseball” look at TYSO and its co-editing whiz PERRY GRONE! He’s not only an editor but also a few years into a Stand Up career and a Youtube Creator. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW HIS YOUTUBE HERE:  @Perry Grone   You’ve seen him cameo in an episode with Santino and now you’ll get to hear all about how they met and have worked together since. Perry describes their first interaction and what is was like to watch Rick make some misses on stage.  The two breakdown intention with editing and why it matters so much, as well as why camera switches are so important. They bond over tummy troubles and Perry tries not to just laugh the entire episode. Rick explains why Perry has been great to work with and how receptive he is to a mountain of editing notes.  Perry marvels at the magic of good editing and how his learning curve on the podcast has been. Our host bestows as much advice about stand up as he can, including why staying confident despite bombing is the key to recovering and moving forward. We hear some insider conversations about episodes past and why Rick declares himself the ‘Batman Of Bits” in podcasting. Also, there is a surprise call to one of Perry's favorite comedians, Dane Cook.
