Take Your Shoes Off
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 continue reading...

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!

Not sure who's a bigger fan of whom with this week's guest, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Rick. Utkarsh, aka UTK the INC, comes in knowing the rules. He takes his shoes off, washes his hands, and shows off his new $15,000 card that he pulled, pack fresh, the day before (a 1/10 Prizms Gold Rookie Signatures Anthony Edwards that has since been BGS graded 9.5 gem mint).

Utkarsh isn't just a solid guy and big time actor (Pitch Perfect, Free Guy, Mulan, The Mindy Project, The Muppets, Brockmire, Key & Peele, Brittany Runs a Marathon, and currently starring in CBS' #1 hit, Ghosts)...

He's also a LEGIT free-style rapper who chops hard on the beat nearly (well, kinda' nearly) as hard as Rick bops hard in the paint. #GlassmanBoppers #IAmPhenomenal

Since 2005, Ambudkar has been a part of hip-hop improv group "Freestyle Love Supreme." On the pod, Utkarsh talks about how he originated the role of Aaron Burr in the developmental readings of "Hamilton," how his drinking may have gotten in the way of him continuing that role, but also how that experience changed his life for the better, allowing him to find his sobriety (currently at 8 years sober as of this recording).
