Summary

- He uses interviews to gauge collaborative potential with guests.
- Dating etiquette and rules inspire his stand-up comedy material.
Rick Glassman, known for his podcast 'Take Your Shoes Off,' likens the interview process to a first date, complete with flirting and repartee. He believes this dynamic allows for a playful interaction that can reveal potential for future movie or TV collaborations. His recent guests have included notable figures such as Alison Brie and Bill Lawrence.
Glassman's stand-up comedy often explores dating etiquette, drawing inspiration from his podcast experiences. He questions traditional dating norms, such as when and how to initiate a kiss. These reflections stem from his own past anxieties about dating.
The comedian embraces the idea of 'second dates' on his podcast, valuing repeat appearances from guests. He finds these subsequent interviews particularly enjoyable, especially when guests are open to a more 'silly' or elevated experience.
In addition to his podcast work, Glassman continues to engage in acting roles, with recent credits on 'The Comedians' and 'Nobodies.' Following an upcoming European tour, he is slated for an undisclosed television project.
