Comedy · Rick Glassman
by 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!

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!
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.
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!!
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.
Why do any of you podcasters think that it is ever okay to eat on mic? There’s nothing ideological to defend about doing so, more often than not it’s unnecessary to the show or episode, it is really just base, horrendously ill-mannered, altogether illogical considering the medium, and grossly—grossly—selfish. Just pause what you’re doing, take a break and come back to your recordings and conversations; or, don’t do it and wait to eat until you’re done. If you came to my job, or if I was performing for you, I wouldn’t find it acceptable to chew directly into your ear the whole time. It’s not charming, it’s not quirky, it’s not endearing. Anyone can skip ahead, of course, and drop in someplace in hopes of finding a moment where you continue your podcast without any incidental gustatory noise. For so many of you, though, this is a livelihood, or part of one, that benefits you a relaxed work environment or space. Eat before you go to work. Take a break. It’s not a far cry from having to listen to any of you defecate in an impossibly large, entirely tiled, embarrassingly resonate bathroom. I want to rate this show I’ve just started listening to and enjoying better but this is so discomforting to experience that this is very well a drop off for me.
