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!

Robert Buckley 2.0
Here we are again. Still locked down. Still frantically washing hands and still trying to provide TYSO fans with episodes. Not a repeat, not a sequel, think of this more as a 2.0 on the previous Robert Buckley episode. Rick and Rob continued to chat for long enough after the initial episode to create a whole PART 2! YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE LISTENED TO PART 1 TO ENJOY THIS! This adjunct to the previous is a bit of a table-turner as Robert delves into the business of podcasts and hears Rick’s thoughts on the difficulties of running, editing and simply creating content . They also deep dive into BTS stuff in the entertainment industry, like making sitcoms in front of a live studio audience. Rick's been trying to figure out the best way to continue to bring you episodes. TYSO, as you know, is very much a guest reliant show *SNAPS* so we’re navigating the new normal and trying some different things… Oh and thanks to everyone for sending in jokes for Rick to punch up. He’s going to be playing around with those soon. Thanks for sticking by us and continuing to watch! We will continue to bring you stuff to make you laugh and maybe poop. Also big shout out to the following Patreon Patrons!

Robert Buckley
Boppers and Goblins, Our hands are dry, canned food's stacked, and quarantine rules in full effect. Fortunately, Rick had a banked episode before the big lockdown with the charming actor and all-round “hot guy” Robert Buckley. Robert is known for his roles on Lipstick Jungle, One Tree Hill, 666 Park Avenue, and iZombie. This episode is a little different guys. It’s a lot of deconstructing and analyzing the industry and themselves. The boys discuss insecurities, perception and how to navigate the entertainment industry… and, frankly, it becomes a bit of a Bromance. Of course Rick can’t go an episode without his usual snaps and bits, so you won’t feel deprived of your Glassman go-to’s. PSA: Stay tuned 'till the very end (or is it the end?!). Finally, how’s everyone getting on during these strange times? We want to make sure you’re all having as much fun as possible during the pandemic so let us know what you need from TYSO… a solo episode is coming soon so drop into the comments and email takeyourshoesoffpodcast@gmail.com any videos, questions, or just let us know what you’re getting up to in quarantine and we may shout you out-- or you may even get #GlassmanBopped! Merch continues to ship out (https://www.rickglassman.com/store), and we thank everyone for buying and supporting the pod especially at the moment… It really keeps the wheels turning and Rick can continue to purchase hazmats suits for any future guests.

Brendan Schaub
Well Boppers, what a difference a week makes. Rick was able to squeeze in one more guest before quarantine went into full effect, and he brought out a heavy hitter! Literally and figuratively, with the nicest of the nice, Mr BRENDAN SCHAUB! A three-show podcaster (The Fighter and the Kid, King and the Sting with Theo Von, and Below the Belt), stand up comedian, and former fighter… most importantly he obliged with Rick's somewhat amped up hygiene rules. Forget “OVER THE TRAY!” We’ve move onto “Secure your hazmat visor!" The two discuss Brendan's comedy journey the last few years, his friendship with mentor Bryan Callen, and penis size… naturally. Look... we don’t know what’s happening in the world, and as for team TYSO we’re thinking formats may change. Maybe Video Call Guest episodes, releasing unreleased content or some solo eps! For the solo’s it would be great if you could comment below any questions you’ve got for Rick? Check in with you all soon, stay safe & wash your hands!

Joe Lo Truglio
Hello Quarantined Boppers & Isolated Goblins, This week you’re all at home digging into those food supplies, so let the TYSO gang bring you light hearted fun and joy with funnyman Joe Lo Truglio. Rick and Joe met filming "A Futile and Stupid Gesture," a film available on netflix! So add that on your apocalypse watch list :) The former co-stars get straight to the funny stuff and discus joe’s plentiful roles in films like Wet Hot American Summer, Superbad, I Love You, Man, and most notably playing Charles Boyle on the TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX). Also special little animation in the intro was done by a very talented English chap - Tom Bates … and for the record Betty wasn’t upset about Momma Glassman poopin on her rug. Oh before you start the episode … Rick’s considering doing a quarantine solo episode... So let us know in the comments if you guys would like that and what you'd like him to cover (please email us videos of how you're keeping busy, preparing and potentially be featured on an episode of TYSO: takeyourshoesoffpodcast@gmail.com) And finally stay safe, wash your hands, poop in toilets and laugh lots.

Anna Camp
Rick's back from London, and boy are his arms tired! This weeks mustache wearing guest is Anna Camp, who’s long list of credits include the Pitch Perfect Franchise, The Help, True blood and Lovebirds. Rick starts the episode off with a therapy session for Anna which transitions into an in-depth breakdown of her journey from living in NYC, fresh out of acting school, to landing TV and Film Roles. Anna divulges about her start in theatre, specifically Broadway, and how her (Naked) role in EQUUS with Daniel Radcliffe was the inception of all her work to date. The two taste a little KIVA CHOCOLATE and get a nice giggly version of high, where Rick teases his infamous story about meeting Brad Pitt... You’ll just have to keep watching until he’s ready to share the whole naked thing! Anna openly discusses the audition process, fulfilling your dreams and passions (cue piano music) and getting comfortable with singing. Also, the two practice commercial auditions… They’re so good you may not even be able to tell where the real commercials are, shoutout to Coinbros!

Alyssa Limperis
This is Rick’s last week in LONDON! And he didn't want to make an intro! Pip pip! Anyway, this week's episode guest is Alyssa Limperis, an actress and comedian, who Rick first discovered when his cousin Miranda showed him her hilarious “MOM” character on social media. Rick unfortunately (or fortunately?) had to take a poop at the beginning. So Alyssa, being the consummate performer, naturally stepped up... because the show must go on! She graciously introduces him for a nice change-up. The two’s first meeting couldn’t have gone smoother. Expect a lot of Marshall Rug bits, improvised commercials, one of Rick's REAL McDonald's commercial, a discussion on tipping etiquette, their favorite shows and a little Spanish. If you’re unfamiliar with Alyssa you’re going to want to follow her after this on twitter and instagram. (Links below) Oh and Rick did his first Patreon LIVE video this week! It was meant to be a 5 minute test but ended up 45 mins longer … just because he likes to make more work for himself!

Andrew Santino 50th EPISODE!
Hey Glassman Boppers & Goblins! Not only are we back to writing descriptions, we made it to FIFTY episodes. Thats right 50 EPISODES! Despite Rick wanting to finish after episode 8, Take Your Shoes Off continues to work his dick off with edits to and keep you all entertained (maybe)! For this very special episode, Rick called upon one of his oldest and dearest; a long time LA collaborating, bit loving, podcasting, ginger haired comedian you all know a... Andrew "The Red Rocket" Cheeto Santino! The boys actually recorded a podcast a week earlier, but they decided to shelf it because it was a little too personal in nature, however, Rick managed to give himself more work by cutting out segments he wanted to share and making them available exclusively to Patreon Patrons (will be out within the next few weeks) https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff Andrew and Rick discuss comedy and as per usual, physical bits, talk art, wresting and Santino makes a trip to hell and back (The Grove) all in one single episode. Look out for a special Momma Glassman intro all the way from London Town !!!! And listen we know we’re pushing the Patreon thing, but Rick works hard, pays for editing help (Hi Perry!) and frankly breathing in London costs $100 a min …So your contributions and all the people who’ve signed up have really been appreciated and are making this podcast a little less burdensome. Let us know in the comments who else you want to see Take THEIR Shoes Off! Oh and all you Goblin’s wearing the sweatshirts from www.rickglassman.com/store, keep tagging us on social!
