Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman Feat. Erik Griffin (Episode 128) [Podcast]

With his seventh appearance, the comedian, actor, and podcaster Erik Griffin jumps straight into it with Rick. 

They break down being typecast, Erik’s late-career change, discussing their significant others in Stand Up sets, and show Rick’s “America’s Got Talent” audition!

This is a real Business-Of-Stand-Up episode that details their feelings toward turning a crowd and how they each go about developing bits. Erik gives us some insight into how he reformats an opinion by finding a different perspective and molding it into jokes. 

Rick discusses some of the difficulties he’s faced with stand-up and Erik gives him some literal coaching. They discuss how they deal with negative comments and how sometimes blocking is the best approach. Erik encourages Rick to step into his “character” self when on stage and they get into their usual disagreements about nearly everything.
