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... more

    This one was bad. I love Alison, but the interviewer didn’t do a good job with this one.

  • Stop chewing into microphones: why do podcasters eat on mic?

    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 performi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Heffernan & Steve Lemme (SUPER TROOPERS 3)
Q: How did you come up with the name Broken Lizard?
The group shared a long, collaborative origin story beginning in college, evolving from a prank-style name to the now-iconic Broken Lizard after a memorable ramp-and-lizard incident, and a period of poster work before the final naming choice.
Zoey Deutch
Q: How did Zoey Deutch come to join Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass?
Zoey explains she reached out after reading the script and developed a strong fit with the project and David Wain's team, which led to her involvement without a traditional audition.
Jake Johnson 2.0
Q: How do you decide what jokes stay in a scene and which get cut?
The guest explains that tone and believability trump sheer joke density; they consider whether a joke serves the characters and helps the audience stay emotionally connected, then assess in post how it changes the scene's reality.
Dylan & Logan from LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM
Q: What fears did you have about dating before you went on the show?
Logan and Dylan describe anxieties around dating, being judged, and how autism can shape dating experiences, with emphasis on wanting to be understood and not judged for differences.
Jorma Taccone
Q: Do you prefer directing or acting, and how do you balance the two?
Directing gives problem-solving satisfaction and creative control, but acting provides performer fulfillment; I want to do both and find ways to collaborate with others while pursuing my own projects.
