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!

Unpack the joke-density: Mark Normand writes like a man being paid by the punchline
Mark is famous for stacking tags on top of tags, often three or four laughs inside a single premise. Get him to explain the internal editor that decides when a bit is finished versus when it's got one more turn left in it — and whether that compulsion ever suffocates a premise that needed room to breathe.
The material that's most personal is usually the material that's most disguised
Mark's onstage persona is a neurotic, self-deprecating single guy even as his life has changed around him. Ask how much of the stage character is a deliberate construction — and whether updating it would cost him the jokes that work.
What did podcasting actually do to Mark's stand-up?
Between co-hosting shows with Joe List and Sam Morril, Mark has spent more hours talking into a microphone than most comics spend onstage. Ask whether that constant low-stakes performance loosened him up, made him lazier about writing, or changed what he finds funny.
