Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman

2,054

Comedy #131

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!

Top 3 comedic podcast of all time

I’d put this podcast at number one or two in my list of the best podcast. Number 1 if we are considering the edits and animations when posted on YouTube! Highly recommend mark Normand and lisa giroy episodes.

Too much

'I think I'm talking about myself too much I'm sorry' **then proceeds to talk about self the rest of the half hour** 🙄Annoying. Let the guests speak!
LessCouchOn

Dear Rick,

Rum balls. Chubby pickle. Time to get off.
lbeard501

Already hooked

Just listened to all of the Lisa Gilroy episodes and loved them. Also went to YouTube and reveled in the full experience. This format is hilarious. There are so many guests I’m looking forward to listening to!

No gawd stop w the bots

Rick please please stop using the chat bot!! You’re so good on your own and AI is a huge waste of water and emits a ton of carbon. lysm you’re better than this XO 🤗
deesnutz84

Episodes are fire Ricardo

Man love the podcast especially the last year . Live the music and comedy mixing .
Ayooooo2

Song name for random intermissions

Dear Mr.Glassman AKA Mr.Marshall Carpet Gallery AKA Goblin Man AKA MR. 1ST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN FEELINGS COMMUNICATOR. What’s the name of the song you use for them random breaks. Cheerio
kwd123456

Actually obsessed with himself

Reminds me of dex shepherd and maniac perdman. All of these people are obsessed with themselves. If y’all go to therapy this much and still can’t figure it out. ITS NOT WORKING. help others randomly around you and don’t talk about it or post about it. That’ll make you feel better.
Wayne Wg

Great

Reminds me of Dane Cook

Sal Vulcano is my gateway drug

I downloaded Sal’s episode because I adore him and found a new favorite pod. The vibe is so sweet and genuine. Looking forward to catching up on all the episodes.
Pushy wood

Rick is the best!

Love this podcast! Look forward to it every week! Always insightful and entertaining.

Great pod

Seriously it’s great….give it a try
HBalsa

Stop interrupting douche

Messes up his guests with all the interruptions
pantomime21

Tom Poppa or Papa?

Just wondering? Is Glassman a comedian or just a joke?

Moshe Kasher 2.0

…sounds like Howard Stern had 2 sons that are teaching an improv class and they just never get to the students — but in a great way.
TheGuyAndJunk

Please stop singing man

Makes me feel so awkward. I hate it.
B-Rigs

Hey Rick

Hey Rick, Just wanted to let you know I listen to the pod on here first. Then I watch the YouTube ep when it drops too.
yesssirrrrr

Best podcast out here

Love this podcast. Gets better and better each week
CroweYo

The best podcast there is.

The editing. Rick’s genuine curiosity and vulnerability. The bits. The guests. I would type more, but my arms are tired.
Kaiser Soso

Hey, Glassman! 👍

As far as the State of New York is concerned you ARE the glassman
NotUrAvgValueShopper

Too many blanket references

Could be one of the best podcasts out there, or could irritate you to no avail. Pretty hit or miss, but have to give Rick credit for his creative and original approach.
Kadeem N

Have Casey Rocket on

Casey Rocket is an Austin comedian with a similar sensibility to yours. Also, shows awesome bro
gabster555

Audio only baby

And loving it. Also I have never said emulsifier. Love you Rick - and boy are my arms tired.
High w/ nooner

Only ever listen

I know I’m missing out on the visual effects, that said nobody wants to see Ari anyway.
Stevenc6391

Audio only

The podcast work “without a doubt” on only audio.
kickbackkid08

I just love Lisa Gilroy

Scoot Dooo

Boy are my arms tired!
Listening Longer in TN

Can’t Stop Won’t Stop

I found this from going through Kill Tony to Bein’ Ian, to a multitude of other things and I’m so glad I stayed on my rabbit hole of comedians. As someone with similar OCD, I appreciate the openness Rick has with his trials and growth. I feel seen and I can’t stop watching/listening. Love this show!!
Grimmboy

My favorite podcast

Rick is a gem and too smart for most. I really think he needs to permanently match up with Lisa Gilroy and give up on Bobbi Althoff. Rick is out of Bobbi’s league (comedy-wise) and her schtick has overstayed it’s welcome.
Megmm007

Comforting background noise

Sometimes background noise for me during cleaning or watch while falling asleep. Rick is a comedic genius.
PodFag

Soder ep

Why would you play a podcast over a podcast? It absolutely did not work. Missed everything and it was annoying.
tinypayness

Keeps you on your toes

Easily the most unique comedian around. The podcast is sick because he’ll meet a guest for the first time ever and he’s so unapologetically himself it’s fun to see how people react always makes for some fun.
Fresh2Envy

No Bobbi that’s wrong..

No Bobbi…no listen 🎧
Jbro12345

Millennial therapist

Love when the millennial therapist is on, really love the dynamic with Rick.

Rick is funny

But he has a lot of awful guests. And sometimes he tries to force the joke a little too hard
Kambarr

Can’t believe I’m so late to the game

But Rick is uniquely funny and talented and he’s definitely carving his own lane in comedy and acting. Wish I was here since day one but have made up for it by listening and watching to many episodes of TYSO because he deserves all Of his success and can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
gggjjjksjdhhs

Why

Why keep saying ‘my arms are so tired’ . Are you trying to annoy your listeners or make them laugh?
Ahdjdbs

My fav

Rick’s dad does have a great head of hair. And we’re back

Terrible

His arms are tired. This podcast is a 10/10.

What your missing in life

I like this podcast enough to write a review on how much I like it /need it. Saw the Bill Burr episode and I’ve been playing at ever since.

This podcast is the Michael Jordan of basketball

First base
NotBillyMartin

Has become one of my favorites recently.

In just a couple of weeks this has become one of my favorite podcasts. Rick’s super witty and unique, and has a good convo with everyone he brings on.

Best podcast production in the business

Goblingluegoo

Honestly

Rick & Esther have a time sent me here
Stedorro

Absolutely Hilarious

Whether it involves his family or friends, this pod makes me laugh out loud. Nice job Rick, and thank you. And to all you one star reviewers: Close your mouths, breathe through your nose and buy some bandaids for those dragging knuckles.
jking9024

Full of Commercials

It would be a great show but it is polluted with ads. When you hear those fingers snap get ready for another ad.
