Erik Griffin 7.0

No introduction needed for Erik Griffin!!! He’s practically a co-host now.  With his seventh appearance, the comedian, actor, and podcaster jumps straight into it with Rick. They break down being type cast, Erik’s late career change, and discussing their significant others in Stand Up sets.  This is a real Business-Of-Stand-Up episode that details their feelings toward turning a crowd and how they each go about developing bits. Erik gives us some insight into how he reformats an opinion by finding a different perspective and moulding it into jokes.  Rick discusses some of the difficulties he's faced with stand-up and Erik gives him some literal coaching. They discuss how they deal with negative comments and how sometimes blocking is the best approach. Erik encourages Rick to step into his “character” self when on stage and they get into their usual disagreements about nearly everything.  And you know the deal… supporting the sponsors supports the podcast!  DOOR DASH: For a limited time, you can get 25% off and ZERO delivery fees on your first order of $15 or more, when you download the DoorDash app and enter code TYSO. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/doordash-food-delivery/id719972451 LAITHWAITES WINE : Wine delivered !!!

Om Podcasten

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!
