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.

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!

Esther Povitsky 3.0 (The Balcony Series)

over 3 years ago

Welcome back to another installment of Can-You-Even-Hear-Our-Guest-Over-The-Background-Noise-And-Upstairs-Neighbours-Balcony-Series! This time its Rick's favorite food-loving/everything bothers her friend, Esther Povitsky! She’s back, and this time with a brand new special on Comedy Central Called "Hot For My Name" which is a title Rick would argue about but nonetheless, VERY proud of her. The two take swings and discuss never being able to be attracted to each other, Esther’s resentment about her Justin Timberlake holiday gift, filming her special with her parents, and gifting each other merchandise in the least complimentary way. Rick’s strict rules are adhered to by Esther in possibly the most extreme way since Sosie Bacon peed in a bush… did someone say adult diaper? They break down the dynamics of their 11 year friendship and why Esther is difficult with Rick but also proves why these two make for the funniest episode. Lots of jabs and back and forth we know you love from these two.
