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!

Sunday Football w/ The Glassmans
We’re excited to show you this FAMILY EPISODE!!! The first half of this podcast, Grandma Gloria, Dad, Uncle Bob and Rick talk all things Glassman's. The second half, they watch the Browns football game as Grandma, per usual, behaves extremely mashugana. We really recommend at least watching the second half on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuFKN6dk0B4&feature=youtu.be). Either way, if you want to join us for some Sunday football, put on your Browns shirt and SCOOT DOO. This episode starring #GrandmaGloriaGlassman, Rick's Dad and Uncle Bob (aka #UncleRobertGlassman) is more unstructured, uncensored and insightful than any episode to date. We watch the family view the Cleveland Browns (vs Philadelphia Eagles) game one Sunday as chaos unfolds with Grandma yelling, Uncle Bob doing whatever that is and Rick & his Dad playing; you get to know what it’s like to sit amongst a Glassman Family Gathering (GFG). This isn’t just for sports fans! Grandmas Glo’s passion for the game and frustration at her family (cue Uncle Bob) is hilarious as Rick tries to hold it all together for some kind of podcast worthy episode. All-in-all this chaotic episode is full of heart and family love. Oh and also… if you’ve ever felt excluded from something, overlooked or unaccepted head over to our merch site and grab a “Not Passed At The Comedy Store” Hoodie and welcome to our club :) https://www.rickglassman.com/storeSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff

Dad & Marc - The Marshall Rug Boys
Happy Holidays Goblins! We have a very very special episode for you this week, brought to you by and AT Marshall Carpet One and Rug Gallery. Back at the carpet, hardwood, rug, and luxury vinyl showroom, we are podcasting with Marshall’s own, Marc "son-da-founder" Wien and Steve "friend of son-da-founder" Glassman. The long time family friends and salesmen recount stories of Rick’s childhood, epic baseball games, and their love of gambling. We get to see more of The Vegas Dads and hear about the rug store's origins. Rick gets to tell multiple pooped-my-pants stories and of course it wouldn’t be TYSO without a little rap. Also Rick wears our new “Not Passed At The Comedy Store” hoodie, available now at https://www.rickglassman.com/store RICK GLASSMAN https://www.rickglassman.com https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff https://www.instagram.com/rickglassman Sound Mixing: Evan O'LearSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff

Mark Normand 2.0
Mark Normand makes his 2.0 appearance, but this time we thought we’d go on the road and record from... Marshall Rug’s Cleveland showroom! Mark was in town for a headlining weekend at Hilarities and came to discuss being back on the road, producing/recording his own stand-up comedy special, "Out To Lunch" which, at time of this posting, has 4-million+ views, his recording content while traveling, and why he feels he may still need a “hook”. Mark meets Rick’s SuperDad and unpacks his own paternal relationship and makes sure Rick appreciates his dad (perhaps a custom Marshall Carpet One & Rug Gallery commercial will show a little appreciation?) They connect again over the comedy math they share and give Patreon a great exclusive Q&A of listener's questions. Rick manages to give the gift that keeps on giving.... again, Mark gets to finally meet the goblin, and they recreate the intimate scene from his first TYSO episode.

Adam Ray (The Sleepover Series - MORNING 2)
The dreaded morning after... As the sleepover draws to a close, guest Adam Ray joins Rick back on the beach house couch to discuss the chaos of the night before (a little shout out to Adam’s podcast "About Last Night"). Both feeling a little worn, they try to recollect the evening and discuss the pressure of making a podcast look good, why comedy comes before vanity, and Adam shows us his guitar skills much to the annoyance of neighbors. We see the boys interesting frolic on the beach, a very competitive round of Air-Volleyball, and maybe some insight into why Rick had issues in the "casual" weekly basketball game… Rick details his commercial acting with clips from McDonald’s to El Pollo Loco and they discuss sleepovers in childhood and how integral they were in shaping the boys now. As we wrap up this series we wonder what guest Rick will pick for another epic sleepover… who do you think we should spend the weekend with? Oh and not only have we got a new player to look forward to, but also NEW HOLIDAY MERCH … the 'Gobble Goblin I’m A Turkey Bitch’ tee is available for a limited time only at www.rickglassman.com!

Adam Ray (The Sleepover Series - DAY 1)
Did somebody say SLEEPOVER?!? Welcome to the first instalment of the Long, LONG form TYSO production we’ve aptly named The Sleepover Series. A show where we really get to know some of your favourite people in entertainment by spending the weekend with them. They come, they podcast, they sleep, they get high and most importantly it’s ALL recorded. We couldn’t kick off the first Sleepover without guest favourite Adam Ray. The comedian & actor came to get high and play as usual this time on a roof overlooking the beautiful seaside. They discuss careers, growing up chubby and why they as a pair have such comedic chemistry. Adam discusses his new idea for a game, Rick details playing with people in public and his perfect (sky high) stand up special... and boy are his arms tired. And that’s just all on day one ...

Kimiko Glenn (The Balcony Series)
Hey Goblins and Boppers! This weeks episode is with ACTRESS AND BROADWAY STAR Kimiko Glenn!! Kimiko is amazing. You’ll know her face from Orange Is The New Black as the endearing Soso, her voice from nearly every cartoon including BoJack Horseman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Ducktales, and finally you’ll know her... singing from one of my favorite musicals ever, the originating cast of THE WAITRESS (Broadway, baby!) as Dawn Pinkett. Kimiko (spelt Kimiko) joins Rick on the balcony as Quailman (Doug much?) for another "oops, I thought this was the Halloween episode" gag! The two discuss her origins as a precocious child, to Boston Conservatory, and ultimately Broadway (Broadway, baby!) and how her overwhelming anxiety had her choose between TV and musical theater (spelt theatre). Rick introduces her to the Goblin as she unpacks some of her childhood, as well as explaining the logistics of podcasting (available to Patreon members only at Patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff). A lot of fun and a lot of gags, so kick back those shoeless feet and pick up your Happy Cup ;) for another great episode.

The Boys talk about "Workaholics," how he went from guest director to producer on "What We Do In The Shadows," and how to be an advocate for yourself in work situations. Rick takes the lead as director to orchestrate some outfit changes and TYSO Transylvanian wizardry as they crack open a couple of "cold ones" while unpacking addictions and Kyle's journey in self mastery. Also, as discussed in the episode, Kyle has his very own ensemble podcast with his workaholics hollywood boys (Anders Holmes, Blake Anderson, & TYSO alumni Adam Divine) called "This is Important" premiering October 13th!!!!!
