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!

Part podcast, part cultural time capsule, The Joe Rogan Experience is the most listened to podcast in the world, where curiosity runs long and conversations go anywhere.

It’s unpredictable, unpolished, and somehow essential — the internet’s campfire for people who just want to hear what happens when you let the mics roll.

The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly

A beautifully chaotic friendship on full display, where Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino turn every episode into a mix of unfiltered roasting, absurd bits, and unexpectedly real moments that sneak up on you. It’s equal parts childish and sharp, bouncing between total nonsense and oddly honest reflections on fame, relationships, and insecurity—usually in the same breath. The dynamic is the whole point: unpredictable, slightly unhinged, and fueled by the kind of chemistry you can’t fake, where the line between joking and genuine emotion is always just a little blurry.

Bad Friends
