Take Your Shoes Off ranges between interviews & casual conversations with other comedians, actors, directors, musicians, collectors, and anyone else Rick Glassman find interesting. Glassman also has his family on often. Sometimes it’s educational (nerding out about comedy, writing, directing, basketball, comics & Magic the Gathering), sometimes it’s quite serious talking about OCD, therapy, and personal obstacles. Often it’s VERY silly. Whatever you’re into, they probably cover it… with a hint of awkwardness. Come on in and enjoy — but please make sure to TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF.
This week, Ali Macofsky joins the TYSO 3.0 club as she takes her shoes off and charms Rick with her frantic high-energy. JK. If you don’t yet know Ali well, she isn’t very high energy. It was a joke. Relax. Maybe you need some CBD or something.
