Rick Glassman On The Paul Rudd Incident, Podcasting and Ricky Gervais

In this episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Romesh is joined by comedian and podcaster Rick Glassman to talk about stand-up, podcasting and the art of saying exactly what you're thinking. Rick discusses the success of Take Your Shoes Off, and reveals that Ricky Gervais would be one of his dream guests, which leads to the pair composing a carefully crafted text message invite. Will he respond? Plus, Rick addresses the catastrophic Paul Rudd incident on his podcast. Elsewhere, Rick opens up about his autism diagnosis, dealing with criticism, and the pros and cons of working with his parents.

  There's an elephant in the room. And the elephant in the room is, before I even intro you, there is somebody in this room, Ben, who I think, I genuinely think might be one of your top five fans in the world in terms of how invested he is in your career and what you do. He think, he, you, he, it's a big deal for him that you're here.

• 0:24Speaker 01

  This is crazy. That, I don't even know that anybody knows. Do you want to switch seats?

• 0:29Speaker 00

  I mean, he'd love us to.

• 0:30Speaker 01

  Well, that way it'd be easier for I line.

• 0:33Speaker 00

  What do you mean?

• 0:34Speaker 01

  So I could, I could like, every now and like, I could be like, how's your family?

• 0:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 0:38Speaker 01

  But also I've got,

• 0:40Speaker 01

  I don't want to have turning away so much.

• 0:41Speaker 00

  Yeah. We've got a camera here, so it's quite nice. That turn could be great.

• 0:46Speaker 01

  He doesn't get it.

• 0:47Speaker 00

  Okay, sorry.

• 0:48Speaker 01

  It's okay.

• 0:48Speaker 00

  That's, that's, that's.

• 0:50Speaker 02

  Fuck it already.

• 0:52Speaker 01

  It's okay. It's really nice to see you.

• 0:57Speaker 00

  Uh, but anyway, he's a mega fan. Do you want to, do you want to get it out? Do you want to say what? I've got nothing. I've got like, I've got nothing. But you, but look, you've been, you talk about Rick a lot. There was a mo-

• 1:08Speaker 00

  Hold on. Okay. Thanks. And we got.

• 1:13Speaker 01

  Let's go.

• 1:17Speaker 00

  This is, it's quite intense. And there was a bit where, uh, you, Rom introduced me to the group chat. Do you remember?

• 1:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, do I remember?

• 1:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, I know.

• 1:32Speaker 00

  And, uh, I was, I have two children. And, um, well, I was meant to be put into the bed, to, to bed. And this is going so badly.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  I really think it would be bad. Can we just see how the story goes if we switch these just for a second?

• 1:49Speaker 00

  Okay, fine.

• 1:52Speaker 01

  It's really, it's bigger on camera.

• 1:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:58Speaker 00

  We have, I've got two kids and basically I, uh, got, uh, incredibly excited when I was part of that group. Uh, to the point where they pack, I said, I'm talking to Rick Glassman. And then we're like, daddy, daddy, who's your new friend, Rick Glassman? I, uh, we don't like Rick Glassman because you're too excited and I didn't put them to bed.

• 2:17Speaker 01

  Well, there's one thing I want to say.

• 2:22Speaker 00

  I was one more thing.

• 2:29Speaker 01

  I feel like the audience is going to feel like your kids now. I mean, like, who is this annoying American with a huge weener that just comes on their show and just changes everything?

• 2:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. You then didn't reply. I'm not crying.

• 2:44Speaker 01

  Hi, my name's Rick Glassman and I'm on the Romesh, Ring and Nathan Show. And I am excited to say that, you know what? Why don't we just let you tune in to find out, find out, find out, find out, and you fade to black? Or out.

• 2:58Speaker 00

  Brilliant.

• 2:59Speaker 01

  But it goes to black right before I say we're out, but under the black, we hear me say we're out. That's a, that, we keep it on me, then we split screen or at least cut to his brilliant. Send it to me. I'll give you notes.

• 4:55Speaker 00

  Welcome, welcome, welcome.

• 4:56Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 4:56Speaker 00

  Thank you so much for coming on.

• 4:58Speaker 01

  Thank you for having me.

• 4:59Speaker 00

  Uh, well, you're touring at the moment. You've done, you've done Edinburgh.

• 5:03Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 5:04Speaker 00

  Uh, how did you find that?

• 5:06Speaker 01

  Well, first of all, I'd never been to Scotland.

• 5:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  I can't believe the city of Edinburgh.

• 5:12Speaker 00

  Right. What, what, what is it about it that you fell in love with so much?

• 5:16Speaker 01

  It's a good follow-up.

• 5:17Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 5:18Speaker 01

  I, uh, second the vibes, but are very, very close to first the architecture.

• 5:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:24Speaker 01

  It's just castles everywhere and it's beautiful and you're outside and it doesn't feel like I'm in the America. And I'm just like, but they still all speak English, kind of.

• 5:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:34Speaker 01

  And then I drove up to the Highlands. I went to Inverness.

• 5:37Speaker 00

  Who did you go with?

• 5:39Speaker 01

  Uh, I went by myself.

• 5:41Speaker 00

  And then what made you, what made you go to the Highlands? Cause I, I, so when I was looking at what you were doing on Instagram, I thought you actually, you properly embraced being in Scotland.

• 5:51Speaker 01

  But it just felt like I'm on vacation in this beautiful place. I love doing comedy, so I'll do some shows to help pay for my trip.

• 5:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:00Speaker 01

  But I really wanted to see Scotland. I wanted to go to Isle of Skye and so many other places, but I didn't have the time because I'm touring all over. But now I really want to make a trip to Scotland. So when I did the Highlands, I'm like, I have to see something.

• 6:11Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 6:12Speaker 01

  So I just went for a couple of days.

• 6:14Speaker 00

  Yeah. And you went to Inverness?

• 6:15Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. Yeah. I had a girlfriend years ago, uh, who's still a friend of mine. And I was talking to her, like, where should I visit? And I remember she said how, she's from Inverness and she said how beautiful it is. So I was always like, I always wanted to see it. So that was just like, I didn't even really look at other, I'm like, I'll go there.

• 6:31Speaker 00

  Yeah. And you liked it?

• 6:33Speaker 01

  Oh my, I'm like, I want to move. This is, I can't get podcast guests there. I'm, that's silly. I know that's a silly thing to say, but that's kind of the truth. Like, I need to live somewhere where I could get guests.

• 6:43Speaker 00

  Well, they film traitors there, so you could just mop up as they come out of the castle, right? Uh, we've got you some presents.

• 6:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I was expecting it.

• 6:49Speaker 00

  Yeah?

• 6:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 6:50Speaker 00

  I'm, I'm just going to give these to you.

• 6:52Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 6:53Speaker 00

  And then you see what you think. So.

• 6:54Speaker 01

  That's a great format.

• 6:55Speaker 00

  These two go together.

• 6:59Speaker 01

  I know what this is.

• 7:01Speaker 00

  Do you know what these are?

• 7:02Speaker 01

  Yeah. Of course.

• 7:06Speaker 00

  There you go.

• 7:07Speaker 01

  Yeah. Thank you. You put your feet, uh, your really big feet in here and you do calf, uh, calf stretches.

• 7:13Speaker 00

  Correct, yeah.

• 7:13Speaker 01

  Right? Yeah. Or you could put them on the end, uh, if the couch is too low.

• 7:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:18Speaker 01

  Go like this.

• 7:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, good.

• 7:19Speaker 01

  Um, which helps leave it up for circulation.

• 7:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. Or you could use this as silly shoes and it's like different sizes.

• 7:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:28Speaker 01

  That's really sweet, man.

• 7:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, the, the, the ma, the primary function is armrests.

• 7:32Speaker 01

  I'm from Cleveland. Boy, are my arms tired. And, uh, I, um.

• 7:37Speaker 05

  How did you make that work? That was actually funny.

• 7:40Speaker 01

  I have to tell you, or maybe episode 185. I've done Boy or My Arms Tired in the wrong spot at least three times every episode. I have never gotten a laugh on it.

• 7:52Speaker 05

  I love it.

• 7:53Speaker 01

  Look at this. Thank you so much.

• 7:54Speaker 00

  No problem. Do you think you'll take that? Will you take those with you? Okay.

• 7:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 7:59Speaker 00

  Will you?

• 8:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 8:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 8:03Speaker 00

  Now this is obviously Take Your Shoes Off podcast. We're new in particular.

• 8:12Speaker 00

  What's wrong?

• 8:16Speaker 00

  What's wrong?

• 8:29Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 8:32Speaker 01

  This is really sweet.

• 8:35Speaker 00

  Is it?

• 8:43Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 8:46Speaker 00

  Talk me through your reaction. I'm trying to analyze your reaction to their slides.

• 8:50Speaker 01

  I was just being, playing, being emotional, like, how did you knew I needed these? And then I wanted to lean into it, which did you made me laugh. It's like, I'm not gonna go back into the character. I failed, you know?

• 9:03Speaker 01

  But like, I was ready. I was gonna do a performance.

• 9:05Speaker 00

  Well, I felt like you were gonna cry.

• 9:06Speaker 01

  Oh, I mean, I don't make myself cry because that's an outward action. I make myself feel something and if I cry, and it probably would have come because I'm very expressive. This is really sweet. I actually do bring my own flip flops to hotels.

• 9:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:22Speaker 01

  And these have your little names on them, all of them, all four of them.

• 9:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:28Speaker 01

  And it's great. I love these. Thank you. And it's probably the right size too, right?

• 9:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:32Speaker 01

  A little small.

• 9:33Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 9:34Speaker 01

  But like, yeah, and these are great for wet.

• 9:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:37Speaker 01

  So you could use these in like the shower, the bath or the steam room.

• 9:40Speaker 00

  Now, we came to see you last night at your, at the Soho Theatre.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  In order, I'm sorry and thank you.

• 9:51Speaker 00

  Why are you saying I'm sorry?

• 9:54Speaker 01

  I, I still have a hard time accepting people buying tickets to see me perform. Now, I know you two didn't. I could put you on the guest list. However, I, like, what, like, I'm working hard on this. I, I'm, I think I'm really good at it sometimes. But like, you don't have to be, you know, like, I'm thinking, like, what are you doing here? And thank you for being here.

• 10:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  So then that, and also the fact that now like we're meeting to do this, like, did you come for research? Like, you didn't have to do that. You know what I mean? Like, I'm sorry. You don't have to come to this. It's okay if you didn't come to this.

• 10:28Speaker 00

  No, we came as fans.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  Thank you. And I'm sorry.

• 10:33Speaker 00

  Is that what you'd always say? I'm sorry?

• 10:36Speaker 01

  Tell me if you could relate to this. You ever touring and you're at a city where there's a friend of yours that's there? And they say they want to come to a show, but they don't just come to the show or say, I'm excited to see the show. They say, I want to come and support you. And my thought is always like, if that's why you're coming, please stay at home.

• 10:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:54Speaker 01

  I don't need the support. I don't want the support. The support is actually quite the opposite. It makes me feel like I now have to be like, oh, thank, this is, I feel like I'm hosting you. You know what I mean? This is actually, wow, this is nice. And, you know, like, I have to do, like, find ways of making people believe it.

• 11:08Speaker 00

  You are so completely and authentically yourself on stage. And you are.

• 11:14Speaker 01

  That's nice.

• 11:14Speaker 00

  And you are.

• 11:16Speaker 01

  I feel like it gets in the way sometimes. Pros and cons, but I think it gets in the way a bit.

• 11:20Speaker 00

  Well, I sort of think that, you know, from when I started doing stand up, my aim is always like, I want this person that you're talking to now to be the same person that you see when you come and see me at a tour show, right? But that's actually quite difficult to achieve, right? Because, because you have got a, you've got, you know, you're, you've got the pressure of you want the, you know, you want laughs or you want to hit, you want to be efficient or whatever you want to call it. And those things can butt up against each other. I just thought you were, you were completely honest about how you felt when you came on stage.

• 11:54Speaker 01

  That's where I thought it maybe got in the way. Like, I had, anyway, go on, maybe I'll.

• 11:58Speaker 00

  You were completely relaxed. And so the audience then feel like this guy knows what he's doing. Whether, whether that, you know, whether you feel like that inside or not is a different thing. But that, that's how it felt being in that room. It's, it's actually, I don't know how much you think about that. You shouldn't take that for granted. That's a really, I mean, there's a lot of people never achieve that.

• 12:21Speaker 01

  That's, that's a nice perspective. I understand what you're saying. And thank you. I think there's pros and cons to it. It makes me, like this, be a very over communicative person. When my frequencies align with a partner or a friend, that's great because this is who we are. We see each other. But like, I know I'm not for everybody. And for the people that I'm not for, or the people that don't yet know they, they could like or trust me, I just think I'm a lot. I think it's like, buddy, fucking do the joke. Say that. Um, um, but like you saying me being relaxed, I am.

• 12:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 12:57Speaker 01

  Because I, I know how to allow myself to feel safe. And without that, I'm gonna not be, I'm gonna be a worse version of myself. So I, I really feel that this isn't specific to me. I feel this is specific to at least the art form that we do. But I think being in front of or sharing anything in general, the best versions of ourselves are when we're fully present. And it's hard to do that when you have things in the back of your head. So I just want to, I want to figure this out. And it's so hard. I love it. I don't talk about stand up much on podcasts. I know people always say, oh, it's always stand up talk. I really don't talk about it much. And I think as I'm on tour and I'm, it's really, so much is on my mind. I'm loving it. And I finally feel good at this.

• 13:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 13:43Speaker 01

  Even like last night when I wasn't feeling in the pocket and like, whatever, I still felt like the fact that I was so distracted and not feeling well, but still able to like, I knew my act enough. I'm like, oh, I'm getting better at this. I just, it makes me feel confident.

• 13:57Speaker 00

  Oh, hello there. Sorry to interrupt the podcast, but it is my podcast, to be fair. So I can actually do what I want. I'm heading out on tour with my brand new show, Romesh Rang and Ethan Will Change Your Life, all over the UK and Ireland. And I've been told that I actually need to tell people that I'm doing this, which I don't like doing. But here I am, telling you. We're talking Dublin Three Olympia, Bournemouth BIC, Cardiff Utiliter Arena, Birmingham Utiliter Arena, Leeds First Derek Bank Arena, Nottingham Motor Point Arena, Manchester AO Arena, and London The O2. It is an arena, but it's not in the name, in April. And then the night after the O2, I'm doing a show at the Indigo at the O2, which they're calling the after party, which I'm choosing to find flattering. Please, please buy tickets.

• 14:38Speaker 00

  Otherwise it'll be embarrassing. You can get them at romeshrangandathan.co.uk because we want to make it hard for you. My mum will not be at all of them. So please stop DMing me. See you there. I won't see you. You'll see me. Okay. Uh, now let's talk about Take Your Shoes Off. We're all huge fans of this podcast. It's, it's so, so funny. And you've had some incredible people on. How, I, I saw you in, I think, I think it was maybe the, the Franco, Franco episode that just came out.

• 15:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, Dave Franco.

• 15:12Speaker 00

  Dave Franco, you were, he said to you, how long you been doing this? No, he said to you, how long did it take you to find your voice on this podcast? And you said straight away. Has that, is that genuinely the case? That right from the beginning that you were doing that podcast, you were just, you were doing what you do now?

• 15:27Speaker 01

  I am, I have never not been this. And I'm not bragging. There's so many things I could be better with, with this. But yeah, it's like, I, oh, I just, your voice, as a comedian, I didn't always have it. I get that. How do I take my perspective and translate it on stage in a way that people think it's funny? And also like, it makes sense and there's a reason to talk about it. This, what we're doing is long form, a lot of boring parts, yours.

• 15:55Speaker 00

  And I accept that.

• 15:56Speaker 01

  So like, the idea of podcasting to me doesn't feel much different than having a conversation with somebody.

• 16:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. You are very honest with your guests, right? You, you, you know what I mean? And like, if they, if you, if they say something that you think that they're, you know, I, I guess the best way to describe it is if you think they're ducking a question, or do you know what I mean? Or if they, if they're giving a thought for the sake of just moving the conversation on, you don't let that go.

• 16:22Speaker 01

  That comes from something else that I've put so much work into. And I've actually gone back and forth with how much I talk about this publicly because I get self conscious about it. And I only recently started talking about it on stage again, which is nine years ago or so, I was diagnosed with level one autism. The reason I don't like talking about it is because people think they know what autism is. And their idea of it isn't wrong, but that's part of it. And I am not somebody that has the type of obstacles that a lot of people whose children, parents, siblings, et cetera, might have. So when you compare it to things like, I don't, I'm not saying that, but like, in my private life, it has

• 17:03Speaker 01

  connected so many unrelated patterns and it's taught me so much about just the way I'm wired. And the things I've learned from having so many peers and some friends now in the neurotypical, neurodiverse space. And when I first got the diagnosis, the big thing that changed for me, and this is what I've been wanting to talk about on stage and I only do sometimes. And I really think it would help make my act connect in a way because I was growing up and I was never really excluded from things. I just didn't have friends and I had no idea. So like, until, I didn't think I didn't have friends. And look, I can't be like, I played at somebody's house sometimes or like those groups.

• 17:44Speaker 01

  But no, like, I would play basketball outside with kids. And then when they went inside, I wasn't allowed in. I wasn't invited to the birthday parties. But when I saw people at school, I wasn't bullied.

• 17:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:53Speaker 01

  It's just, hey, the joke I have is, I, I never knew, I, I didn't realize I didn't have friends growing up. I just thought everybody was busy all the time. Like, because I believed you. Because you'll, that's what you're saying to me. I'm so, so bad at picking up on lies and social cues. And when people were checking their watch, it's because they wanted to know what time it was. And I could tell them. Just say, hey, I'm bored, you know? So I often talk about this idea of like, logic versus emotion of like, when you connect with something logically, it doesn't have to connect emotionally. Logically, I know this isn't the case, but I'm still having this trauma response, right? When those two things are aligned, I feel that's the idea of like, what enlightenment could be. I understand this. This is how I'm feeling. Great.

• 18:35Speaker 01

  I, I, the emotional side and the logical side was connected to the negative of, I understand why people are annoyed with me. Even now, I do think I'm talking too much, but I.

• 18:45Speaker 00

  But you're the guest on the podcast. That's the whole point, right? So do you, why do you feel like you're talking too much?

• 18:51Speaker 01

  Because I am.

• 18:53Speaker 00

  But I don't think you are.

• 18:55Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 18:58Speaker 01

  But if I'm thinking it, I am. And that's the point I'm trying to make.

• 19:02Speaker 00

  But I think what you're talking about, that kind of, you know, check, you know, being direct or whatever you wanna call it, you know, what you've talked about. That's one of the reasons why people love coming on your podcast, I think, isn't it? I mean, that's, you're, you're talking about a thing that you've tried to address. Well, you, you have addressed it, but the way that you're addressing it, I think is why people wanna come and talk to you, right? Because they feel like they're having a different type of conversation.

• 19:27Speaker 01

  I think the reason why people wanna come on my podcast is because they've seen a clip that they liked. And they're like, oh, I'll do that.

• 19:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:34Speaker 01

  And the superficial side of a certain caliber guest came on, so it's cosigned the authenticity of this podcast. So maybe it's worth it. And then the numbers of, hey, this many hundreds of thousands of people watch it. So I could promote my thing. I think it's a little more curated than that. What you're saying is sweet.

• 19:52Speaker 01

  But I don't know.

• 19:53Speaker 00

  I do, I, listen, I get what you're saying. And that is the reason why people come on this podcast as well, what you're talking about. They see a clip, they see numbers and whatever.

• 20:00Speaker 01

  I genuinely, I, I love, I think you're so good at this and funny. And I really wanna, I'm, I'm genuinely a fan of it. And you're so good. Your reaction shots are so good. And you know how when somebody, when somebody says something that isn't necessarily a jab, but it could be, like, you notice it and you either laugh because you think it's funny, or you play into the jab, and it allows the guest to then realize, it allows the guest to give the guest permission to not have to be like, oh, I didn't mean that.

• 20:30Speaker 00

  Right, right, right.

• 20:30Speaker 01

  And it's just, you're very good at acknowledgement. So I, I actually have a friend, his name is David Finn. We were on a show years ago, he's an actor and one of my very good friends. He's here, he's playing Beetlejuice.

• 20:44Speaker 00

  Oh, wicked, yeah.

• 20:46Speaker 01

  He, he's, he's awesome. And he has a podcast he does with his wife, I'm forgetting the name of it. They've been trying to have a baby for years and years and they kept having, you know, complications and they're going through the process of it. Anyway, he was at the show last night and he saw that you were there and he brought you up. Uh, uh, and I'm like, yeah, I'm doing this podcast tomorrow. And he goes, it's a, it's like the biggest podcast here. And pardon me for, like, I, I know the numbers are good. I don't know. Like, I'm like, it's like, I didn't even realize that, I mean, this is maybe, I don't know if this is, I didn't know that this was such a big podcast.

• 21:16Speaker 00

  Oh, it's fucking huge, man.

• 21:17Speaker 01

  That's crazy. It's such a small space in your ears or shit.

• 21:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:20Speaker 01

  But I know it's a novelty that you give them and it's fun.

• 21:25Speaker 01

  But like, I wanted to come on this podcast because of your clips.

• 21:28Speaker 00

  Right, right, right. Yeah, got you, got you.

• 21:30Speaker 01

  But now it's, I'm gonna introduce myself to this new audience and I, you know.

• 21:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:33Speaker 01

  You know what? I'm not a teenager.

• 21:39Speaker 01

  Let me show up.

• 21:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, this is good. I mean, I love to talk about Paul Rudd.

• 21:43Speaker 01

  That was a weird one. That was one that, like, I didn't realize I was even, like, because he's been on it a few times now.

• 21:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:50Speaker 01

  And each time he said it was okay to post.

• 21:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, because let's, for anybody that doesn't know, he suffered some quite serious.

• 21:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, I, I mean, I could send you if you wanna throw a clip up.

• 22:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 22:01Speaker 01

  I'll send you, you could swipe to that.

• 22:03Speaker 05

  And I'm having a great time. So, thank you again for that. Oh, hey, that's all right. I appreciate it. Thank you.

• 22:12Speaker 01

  Oh my god!

• 22:12Speaker 00

  Ow!

• 22:13Speaker 01

  Oh my god! Put your head back! Shit, oh shit! Okay, that's, that was really hot. Put your head back! Put your head back! Paul, put your head back! Stop it!

• 22:24Speaker 05

  Oh my god, I'm gonna call an ambulance.

• 22:26Speaker 01

  A little more of this, put your head back, please. I promise this is gonna help. Rick, Rick, 911, 911, 911, Rick. I know, I know. Yeah, that's a good idea, Rick. That's, that's just right. Oh god! Come on, Paul, please walk with me. Please walk with me, Paul. 911. It's okay. I know you're freaked out. I know it's very scary.

• 22:45Speaker 01

  You're gonna be okay.

  Catch us now.

  One, two. Thank you guys very much.

• 22:54Speaker 06

  All right.

• 22:58Speaker 01

  Thank, thank you.

• 22:59Speaker 06

  You're welcome.

• 23:00Speaker 01

  Where are you taking them? Where is he coming? Yeah, okay, yeah.

• 23:04Speaker 06

  I'm here.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 23:08Speaker 06

  M Y U, please say.

• 23:12Speaker 01

  Hey.

  Get him to the couch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 23:15Speaker 01

  Alvin, come here.

• 23:16Speaker 06

  Hi.

• 23:17Speaker 01

  He's very friendly. Alvin, come here. Are you okay with dogs?

• 23:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good you cleared the cables, I was gonna say.

• 23:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yep.

• 23:25Speaker 06

  Paul, just remember, don't.

• 23:26Speaker 01

  Careful, buddy, careful, buddy. Is this okay?

• 23:30Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  It's a good boy.

• 23:31Speaker 06

  Hi.

• 23:32Speaker 01

  It's a good boy.

• 23:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, so there you go, that happened. What was that like to, because a lot of people thought that was a bit, didn't they?

• 23:40Speaker 01

  I can't imagine that, maybe at first, but then like, you see how, you see it.

• 23:45Speaker 00

  No, I get it, but even last night, somebody said, I think somebody in the audience said, I really enjoyed the Paul Rudd bit.

• 23:51Speaker 01

  A lot of people think it's so funny. When I think of a bit, it's like, oh, it's staged or playing something. I was like, I, I also, like, knowing that he's okay, I think it's funny. And I was, I genuinely, I was devast, I was devastated.

• 24:04Speaker 00

  No, I know, I could tell, it came across.

• 24:05Speaker 01

  Um, he came on, my assistant

• 24:11Speaker 01

  burnt him. And then he comes back on the.

• 24:15Speaker 00

  I'm so sorry.

• 24:15Speaker 01

  No, because like, if it's a movie, it's funny. In real life, it's not.

• 24:19Speaker 00

  No, sure.

• 24:19Speaker 01

  Um, and then he comes on and he looked horrible. Uh, he had burns on his, all over his face. And then he was on these pain pills and he was like, saying stuff that, in the moment, I'm checking, like, is this okay? Like, we don't, like, I'm a different person that on the podcast, if your phone buzzes, even if you don't say anything, it's something private, by default, we blur the phone screen. Like, I'm very sensitive.

• 24:39Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 24:40Speaker 01

  I bleep Nate.

• 24:43Speaker 00

  It's incredible.

• 24:43Speaker 01

  I'm sorry.

• 24:44Speaker 00

  No, it's good.

• 24:45Speaker 01

  I bleep names. I asked him.

• 24:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:48Speaker 01

  And then afterwards, I found out that he was upset that I posted it because, I mean, a spoiler alert, he poops his pants.

• 24:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:57Speaker 01

  And it, and like, it's ridiculous, but like.

• 25:00Speaker 00

  Well, you sort of talk about the fact that, um, you know.

• 25:03Speaker 01

  I feel bad, like, I don't know if, like, I should even be talking about this.

• 25:06Speaker 00

  Well, it's out there now, isn't it? So I don't know how much, because, because I, I think if, if you look into, well, because, you know, when you're talking about posting it, because he did, he did, he, he shat himself. And, and you were talking about the.

• 25:22Speaker 01

  You okay, Paul?

• 25:23Speaker 00

  Hey.

• 25:24Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, you can smell it.

• 25:27Speaker 06

  Hold on to my head for balance. Get your foot up. Yep, perfect. Yep.

• 25:31Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 25:32Speaker 06

  We're gonna put your left, uh, right, right, right, like, through here.

• 25:38Speaker 00

  But the, the dilemma you had was that he had, uh, he had shat himself, which is, uh, embarrassing. But he's got a huge penis.

• 25:46Speaker 01

  Which isn't.

• 25:47Speaker 00

  Which isn't, no. And so then you, it's like.

• 25:50Speaker 01

  You should know.

• 25:53Speaker 00

  So you're right.

• 25:54Speaker 01

  Sorry. We could talk about something different.

• 25:57Speaker 00

  But what I'm saying is, you know, then you had the balance of like, do I put this out? Because it, it will help, not help him, I don't think it'll help him, but it's nice for people to know, I guess, is, is the point you're making, right?

• 26:06Speaker 01

  Um, I, I don't know if it's nice for people to know.

• 26:09Speaker 00

  That you've got a huge penis. You talk about it quite a lot, that you've got a massive dick, right?

• 26:12Speaker 01

  No, I don't talk about a lot. I acknowledge the, I acknowledge the elephant in the room.

• 26:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:16Speaker 01

  Well, it's trunk at least. I, it's, it's a big, yeah, I, yes, yes. My name's Rick Glassman and I have a big penis. It's not my identity, it doesn't, like, I talk, I also talk about having a little butt.

• 26:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, sure.

• 26:27Speaker 01

  And my left testicle is smaller than my right testicle significantly, because I had a varicoseal, which is a bunch of veins when I went through puberty. So as it grew, it, my left testicle didn't. And I was, I, I still am self-conscious about it.

• 26:39Speaker 00

  Right.

• 26:39Speaker 01

  If a woman is, I feel like I have to say, I know my left paw is smaller than my right, like, I just wanna get it out there.

• 26:44Speaker 00

  You shout it.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  Um, but she's so distracted by, like, you ever, you use wired headphones?

• 26:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, sometimes, yeah.

• 26:50Speaker 01

  You know, there's certain ways you could, like, roll them to where, but they're, you put them in your pocket long enough, you know, it's gonna.

• 26:56Speaker 00

  You're gonna get a knot. You're gonna tangle it, yeah.

• 26:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's, it's like, it's gonna get a little, like, you're gonna have to, and a lot of women, they don't notice my testicle, because while they're down there, they're like, pulling my massive cock.

• 27:07Speaker 01

  Bleep that. Bleep that.

• 27:09Speaker 00

  Which bit do you want bladed?

• 27:11Speaker 01

  Unrolling.

• 27:18Speaker 00

  How did you end up getting, you can basically book, it feels like you can book anybody on your podcast.

• 27:23Speaker 01

  Well, can't necessarily book Ricky Gervais, but we're getting there.

• 27:26Speaker 00

  Nice. You can't book him?

• 27:29Speaker 01

  Well, we're very close.

• 27:30Speaker 00

  Okay. He'll come on, right?

• 27:31Speaker 01

  He'll make a text.

• 27:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:33Speaker 01

  He'll text.

• 27:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'll text.

• 27:35Speaker 01

  You'll text.

• 27:36Speaker 00

  I'll text. You want me to text Ricky Gervais?

• 27:39Speaker 01

  I mean, I wouldn't ask. Thank you.

• 27:43Speaker 00

  Okay. You want me to text Ricky Gervais?

• 27:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I'll text.

• 27:46Speaker 00

  How do you want me to, how do you want me to word it?

• 27:47Speaker 01

  Uh, Joe Montana for you.

• 27:48Speaker 00

  Great, thank you. How would I word, how do you want me to word my text?

• 27:52Speaker 01

  I'm not gonna, you do whatever you want to do.

• 27:53Speaker 00

  No, but what sort of thing do you want me to say?

• 27:55Speaker 01

  Uh, Rick is such an interesting comedian who I really think you would get on with very well. I, I know that, you know, uh, uh, Ronald has reached out to you about it and like, I just, I'm not saying you should do it, but like, you should definitely look at it and, and if it ever makes sense, I, I really think you would really enjoy being on his podcast. But I don't, I don't know, whatever you want.

• 28:14Speaker 00

  I'm just saying, with a brilliant American comedian, Rick Glassman, he'd love to have you on his podcast.

• 28:19Speaker 01

  No.

• 28:20Speaker 00

  No.

• 28:20Speaker 01

  Already, we're approaching him with a request as opposed to, I, so I, I went to school for, for business marketing. I took a lot of advertising classes, also a little bit of theater.

• 28:31Speaker 01

  What I learned is, and this is so true, and I've been in sales, I mean, hell, I'm still in it, right?

• 28:35Speaker 00

  Absolutely.

• 28:36Speaker 01

  That if you're trying to sell tickets to the show to make money, then you're satisfying my needs. That's not how you sell somebody, and that's not how you keep a customer. The way you sell somebody is by satisfying their needs, and if you don't need what I'm selling, if you don't want what I'm selling, I genuinely do not want you to buy it. I'll be insecure the whole time. I'm not saying, hey Ricky, would you please come on my podcast? What I'm saying is, and only if you mean this. Ricky, I really think you would enjoy this, and let him make his decision. I'm with this comedian Rick Glassman, I think you would love him, he's so funny.

• 29:13Speaker 01

  I don't know if he even has the time.

• 29:16Speaker 00

  You want me to imply that you don't have the time?

• 29:18Speaker 01

  You don't know if I have the time.

• 29:19Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 29:21Speaker 01

  You don't even, don't even worry about it.

• 29:22Speaker 00

  So, uh, uh, so Ricky, I'm with Rick Glassman. He's, he's probably too busy.

• 29:27Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no, no. Then, then it sounds like I'm, like I'm peacocking. Here, give it to me.

• 29:32Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 29:35Speaker 01

  Oh, you're being serious?

• 29:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. That's really.

• 29:38Speaker 01

  Oh, no, you don't have to do that. Are you?

• 29:40Speaker 00

  I'll do that. Okay, but don't, please don't send it.

• 29:44Speaker 01

  Of course not.

• 29:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:45Speaker 01

  Uh, um, you know what I'll do just in case, you know what I'll do just in case? I'm putting on airplane mode, so if I accidentally send.

• 29:50Speaker 00

  Okay, great, great.

• 29:51Speaker 01

  Uh, hi Ricky, I'm with a brilliant comedian, Rick Glassman. He's busy as shit and he hates you.

• 29:58Speaker 01

  I'm just kidding. That wasn't funny. I'm not funny, but you know who is? Joe Montana, and I'll get him for you.

• 30:03Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 30:07Speaker 01

  There is something about him that makes me think of you in the best way. I, is this true? I know you don't love doing podcasts.

• 30:20Speaker 00

  I think that's probably true, yeah.

• 30:21Speaker 01

  I know you don't love doing podcasts, but if there's ever anything you want to promote, or have a good time, if there's ever anything you want to promote, or if you're inter, this is tough. Hi Ricky, I'm with a brilliant American comedian, comma, Rick Glassman. There's something about him that makes me think of you in the best way. I think, I truly believe you would love him. I know you don't love doing podcasts, but if there's ever anything you want to promote,

• 31:04Speaker 01

  I think you should make his podcast your first stop. He is terribly busy and his penis is nice.

• 31:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:18Speaker 01

  Um, so now you make that your own, but we're not asking him. You don't ask. And then.

• 31:25Speaker 00

  Okay. All right. I think, I like it.

• 31:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:29Speaker 00

  Hi Ricky, I'm with a brilliant American comedian Rick Glassman. There's something, oh, you really did put all of this in. There is something about him that makes me think of you in the best way. I truly believe.

• 31:37Speaker 01

  And it's not just because you, both of your names are Ricky. Ha, ha, ha, sorry, I'm in a silly mood.

• 31:47Speaker 01

  I forgot what I was talking, oh, yes.

• 31:54Speaker 00

  I'm in a silly mood. I don't, that, that, yeah, okay.

• 31:58Speaker 01

  Oh, no.

• 31:59Speaker 00

  What?

• 32:00Speaker 01

  Well, maybe you send it, that way, the, the, any of the podcasts.

• 32:03Speaker 00

  Do you want me to send it now?

• 32:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, but you could change, you could get rid of the silly mood.

• 32:05Speaker 00

  Let me just do a little bit of editing and then I'll send it.

• 32:07Speaker 01

• 33:43Speaker 04

  Hi Rick, I'm Ramesh's mom. How are you, my dear?

• 33:47Speaker 01

  I'm good, thanks. How are you?

• 33:48Speaker 04

  You're so funny and handsome too. I have seen your podcast with your parents. It's so funny. Anyway, dates are good for you. I always eat them. I do podcasts with Romy. Listeners say they want more of me. What do you favorite dish your mom make? Romesh loves my.

• 34:14Speaker 01

  We're supposed to sponsor a second? I'm sorry, I, I, I don't know if this is racist.

• 34:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think it probably is.

• 34:19Speaker 01

  I don't know, she loves dates?

• 34:21Speaker 00

  She loves dates. Look, I'm gonna be honest with you, topic wise, it's all over the place.

• 34:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, she loves dates.

• 34:26Speaker 00

  I don't, I don't fully blame you for not being able to follow.

• 34:28Speaker 01

  I think I talked to, maybe, uh, I did, I mean, did she really watch an episode with my parents? Because I did talk about dates with my mom in an episode, like years ago.

• 34:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:37Speaker 01

  Okay, um, and then what, then what? More of her, more screen time?

• 34:41Speaker 00

  Yeah, she wants more screen time.

• 34:42Speaker 04

  Listeners say they want more of me.

• 34:47Speaker 01

  Cute.

• 34:47Speaker 04

  What do you favorite dish your mom make?

• 34:50Speaker 01

  What do you favorite dish, if I may?

• 34:52Speaker 00

  No, no, what's your favorite, don't be so racist. What's your favorite dish that your mom makes?

• 34:57Speaker 04

  Romesh loves my aubergine curry, which I make so often.

• 35:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, correct.

• 35:03Speaker 04

  Thanks for doing the podcast with my son. Have a great day. Lots of love. Bye bye.

• 35:12Speaker 01

  Bye. So cute. I think you guys need more of her. Um, so my mom isn't much of a cook.

• 35:17Speaker 00

  Saying in the comments, your mom's not much of a cook?

• 35:19Speaker 01

  No, uh, but let's see if she disagrees.

• 35:27Speaker 04

  Hello, honey.

• 35:29Speaker 01

  Oh, are you okay? Oh my God, I forgot what time it is there. I'm so sorry.

• 35:33Speaker 04

  It's okay, darling.

• 35:35Speaker 01

  I'm sorry I woke you up, mom. I'm, I'm so sorry. Um, there, there was a, a, a, a wonderful, a wonderful woman.

• 35:43Speaker 00

  Yeah, she's a woman, yeah.

• 35:44Speaker 01

  Uh, who, who, um, and the mother of, of the, of the person's podcast I'm on now, and she submitted a question, and she said she loves dates just like you, and she does a podcast with her son like you have with me sometimes. And, uh, and they want more of her, the way our listeners want more of you.

• 36:02Speaker 01

  And, uh, she asked what the, my favorite dish that you cooked was.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  I'm sorry, what?

• 36:10Speaker 04

  What, what favorite dish that I made that you liked?

• 36:13Speaker 01

  Yeah. Do you?

• 36:14Speaker 04

  Okay, I, I did. I used to make this, um, this, uh, uh.

• 36:20Speaker 01

  If you're gonna say that pineapple chicken, yeah, you haven't made that since, but I think my bar mitzvah, honestly. In the past 20 years.

• 36:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know. In the past 20 years, a meal that I made that you like?

• 36:32Speaker 01

  Yeah. A meal that you've made. Have you made a meal in the past 20 years? Instead of ordering takeout or something?

• 36:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, I've made.

• 36:40Speaker 01

  Or, or you like factor meals, don't you?

• 36:43Speaker 04

  Oh, I love factor meals. They're my, well.

• 36:46Speaker 01

  If you guys want to try it, you can go to factor.com/tysol, by the way, for free shipping.

• 36:50Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 36:52Speaker 04

  Their food is unbelievable.

• 36:54Speaker 00

  You heard it.

• 36:55Speaker 01

  I call it for all the commercials. Anyway, I'm sorry I woke you. I love you. Is there anything you want to plug?

• 37:01Speaker 04

  Uh, no.

• 37:02Speaker 01

  All right, I'll talk, I'll talk to you later. Sorry I woke you.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  I love you sweetheart.

• 37:05Speaker 01

  I love you. Bye.

• 37:07Speaker 04

  Love you. Bye.

• 37:08Speaker 00

  What time is it there?

• 37:10Speaker 01

  Uh, it is fourteen here. Um, so it's minus eight. Yeah.

• 37:15Speaker 00

  Six fifteen AM. Okay. That was nice that she answered.

• 37:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:19Speaker 00

  So what did she say? Factor meals?

• 37:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, she doesn't cook.

• 37:22Speaker 00

  At all?

• 37:23Speaker 01

  No, I, I remember my dad once hid something in the oven. I don't remember what it was when we were kids. Uh, and waited like when my mom would find it and it wasn't until the next Thanksgiving. It was like eight, eight months. She even opened the oven.

• 37:36Speaker 00

  Really?

• 37:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:38Speaker 00

  So what did you eat?

• 37:39Speaker 01

  When we grew up, my dad was in the restaurant business.

• 37:41Speaker 00

  Right.

• 37:41Speaker 01

  Um, so we ate there a lot.

• 37:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 37:44Speaker 01

  And a lot of Burger King when I was growing up.

• 37:46Speaker 00

  Burger King's great, isn't it?

• 37:47Speaker 01

  I don't eat it anymore because it scares me, but yeah.

• 37:49Speaker 00

  What do you mean it scares you?

• 37:50Speaker 01

  Just the, the meat, the, it just, it's, it's, I'm not, I'm not like, it's bad for you. It's bad. It's processed. But you walk by and you smell and also sometimes like if I, if I, you get something or a burger or a chicken sandwich and it's in like the paper wrap, it's something about it. It's just like, I used to every year where I, where I wanted it at my birthday, I did it at Burger King every year. Loved.

• 38:11Speaker 00

  So mom's on the podcast, people love her, prefer her to me. And that's great. Do you, uh, but you, do you, how do you feel about bringing your parents into, into the, the public space of that?

• 38:24Speaker 01

  Why do you ask? I, I think I understand, but what's your, what's your curiosity?

• 38:27Speaker 00

  Because, because it, it, it's sort of exciting. It's not exciting. I'm happy for my mom that she like, that people like her and it's good, but I also feel kind of protective over, I then also get nervous about, because you sort of go, I've, we've signed up for, for this and also, you know, I don't know how much you get, but obviously with all the positive and people being into the podcast, you get some shit as well. I don't mind that. I don't want that to happen to my mom. Do you know what I mean? So there's some, there's a bit of like, it's a bit of a double edged sword.

• 38:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, the access is something I, that, that is the, if they're like the pros and cons, I don't, I don't love giving people so much access to me every week.

• 39:05Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 39:06Speaker 01

  Uh, it's the cost of this job. I'm grateful that you want to watch. I'm grateful that it helps people want to come see my stand up and I love the, this opportunity to do this stuff. And if you wanted to meet and talk with me for two hours and we could all hang out and we didn't have to put it on camera and I was making a living elsewhere, I, I would, I would maybe lean toward that because it's none of your business respectfully. It's so many, so what I have found is there are certain made up rules and like, these are things I won't really talk about. And then I have that. My parents don't have that. I have the luxury of being able to edit it. Um, but still I'm like, I'm not sure. I know. I, I don't love it.

• 39:46Speaker 01

  And I love, they're my best friends. They're so funny. I, I love being with them. I love how much people like my parents. Before I had sponsors, I would do an advertisement for my dad's Northeast Ohio in the States local area rug store, Marshall Rug Gallery.

• 40:07Speaker 01

  If you're looking for just the right flooring, you need choices. And at Marshall Carpet One, you'll find thousands of choices.

• 40:16Speaker 01

  Including carpet,

• 40:19Speaker 01

  hardwood, rugs, and luxury vinyl. So make the right choice and visit Marshall Carpet One and Rug Gallery. And we promise with more than 50 years as a family owned business, we've got you covered.

• 40:42Speaker 01

  And, uh, people go to that store because I sell merch of it to buy the sweatshirts. Like, it's not thousands of people, but I'm shocked with how many people. And like, they don't sell that shirt. I just do it as a joke. It's like a merch and literally all over the world, I'm selling hats and sweatshirts at Marshall Rug Gallery. People go into the store for that. My dad gets recognized and he loves it and the comments, my dad has an unbelievable head of hair. It looks like he has a thumbnail and then just lettuce. And like, there's so many comments about his hair and how funny he is and my mom and when they're on episodes or when my dad even does commercials with me, he'll read all the comments and he loves them. He loves them and they are,

• 41:26Speaker 01

  as far as YouTube is concerned, how mean people could be on there and comedy podcasts, how mean people could be. I am, I am honored to say, I think that the comments and the fan base of my podcast are some of the nicest people. My, my audience is, I've said this before, is built up of just really attractive women and socially awkward men.

• 41:46Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 41:47Speaker 01

  It's perfect.

• 41:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 41:48Speaker 01

  So they just see all these nice comments, but like, I have a Patreon. I don't use it too much. Um, my dad's like, really missing out on this Patreon, baby. We gotta get more into the Patreon. I could do episodes. We'll do them. Mom and me and my mom, every week I could do movie reviews and all these things. And I'm like, I think that would fucking crush, but I don't know what you're going to be saying on there.

• 42:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 42:08Speaker 01

  I'm like, I can't do it.

• 42:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 42:10Speaker 01

  I can't do it. Like my dad says some outlandish stuff sometimes. And like,

• 42:19Speaker 01

  I remember once I was doing this TV show and a friend of ours, a female was there, watching too. And then we were all hanging out and then we all leave and my parents were in town. And we go outside and, and putting something in the trunk. He had just met her. Not even that date, moments ago. And we put something in the trunk and could it fit? And my dad's made some off, him, which he doesn't make sexual jokes like this too much, but he'll just whatever. And he said something about like, it's fitting in your trunk or whatever it was. Like, and I remember thinking like, that joke's totally fine. It's a harmless joke, but also I don't know how, like, that's my dad. That's weird. Like, and, and I was in a position that I think I put other people in a lot where I'm like, he's just kidding. He, he, he's just joking.

• 43:03Speaker 01

  And like, I see people do that to me. And it really was a huge, like, changing point for me. Like, oh, sometimes when I think that I'm making jokes at my expense, other people feel responsible for, you know,

• 43:17Speaker 01

  hosting me or, or vouching for me. And it's, it changed. It was a little, it was not that big of a thing, but like,

• 43:26Speaker 01

  I don't know how many people question that, like, people are who they are, especially once you hit thirty and above. This is who I am. Love it or list it. You know?

• 43:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 43:38Speaker 01

  Um, like I'm a guy, this is who I am. Like I'm the type of guy that loves Love It or List It. The show, do you guys have that here? It's a show, a real estate show in the States where you have, uh, uh, two couples and one person wants to keep their home, but upgrade it and another person wants to move. So you have two people come in, you have a real estate agent come in and a designer come in. The designer makes the home as nice as they can. The real estate agent tries to find the house that's the nicest house they can.

• 44:03Speaker 00

  Kirsten Field have done it. Kirsten Field.

• 44:05Speaker 02

  Love it or list it.

• 44:06Speaker 00

  It's a similar thing, isn't it? I can't, it's cool. I mean, we, we got that show.

• 44:09Speaker 01

  Oh, well then what the fuck?

• 44:13Speaker 00

  What do you mean what the fuck?

• 44:14Speaker 01

  Why like?

• 44:15Speaker 00

  I didn't know that was a.

• 44:17Speaker 01

  If I say, do you know what Shark Tank is? You could say, we have Dragons Den.

• 44:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's, okay. I understand what you're saying. You're annoyed because I didn't find, I didn't immediately identify the UK equivalent.

• 44:26Speaker 01

  I'm just playing annoyed. I, I'm so, thank you for having me.

• 44:31Speaker 00

  No, I'm playing annoyed that you're annoyed. But I didn't, I didn't know Kirsten Field did a UK equivalent. It was actually called Love It or List It. Fuck me in the face. I'm so sorry.

• 44:43Speaker 00

  Really?

• 44:44Speaker 01

  Ass first?

• 44:46Speaker 00

  Ass.

• 44:47Speaker 01

  Oh, because when you said fuck me in the face, I thought you were saying maybe in the, in the ass first. I really, and like, and if you were my dad, I'd be like, he's just joking. He's just kidding.

• 44:59Speaker 01

  But it's good to be here, man. What got you into comedy?

• 45:03Speaker 00

  Uh, we can snip this out. So yeah, we do have Love It or List It. I think it started here.

• 45:06Speaker 01

  You have to snip that out. I had the fun joke about my dad.

• 45:09Speaker 00

  But I wanna, I wanna look like I'm informed. Do you know what I mean?

• 45:11Speaker 01

  No, it's not. It's not like we're talking about Dragons Den, dude. Love it or listen. A lot of people don't know. I didn't even mean to say love it or listen. I meant to say, love me or hate me. This is who I am. It's like, brother, this is who you are today. If you love it, then great, but do you love it because you're unaware of how you affect other people? And if that's the case, why don't you learn how it affects other people? And then you could still decide to love it. But once you have that new information, you might want to change some character traits of yours.

• 45:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:37Speaker 01

  So I've just like, that's been my journey a lot. And, uh, uh, and I'm comfortable putting my failures out there because, uh, I've accepted it. I don't love introducing my world to that.

• 45:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, I to, I totally agree. And I do, I, I am excited that people love my mom. I find it really great. And my mom's been through some shit. And so to see her being celebrated is an amazing thing. But I just feel really protective.

• 46:04Speaker 01

  Do you feel comfortable saying what your mom has been through?

• 46:06Speaker 00

  We've, I mean, my mom has talked about it at length on the podcast, but, um, but you know, my, my dad was a bit of a, my dad's no longer with us, but he was, he, he, he made it. He gave, he gave my mom quite a difficult time, I would say, you know, he was sort of, he was sleeping around a lot, wasn't very communicative, got drunk a lot. We ended up getting our house taken away. We were, you know, it's like a, he ended up going to prison. So mom had a tough time of it. And there was a time when I, uh, she was, I couldn't envision a time when we'd be okay, like financially, whatever, emotionally, financially, whatever. So now I'm seeing my mom in her seventies, sort of being on this podcast, people loving her, you know, she's got this like,

• 46:50Speaker 00

  you know, all of the comments talk about how much that, you know, and she's like become this kind of celebrity. It's an amazing thing. Do you know what I mean? But at the same time, you also know this, that, you know, I don't want, and also she needs to be protected. The edit does her some favors. I'm not, I'm not going to lie to you. You know? So the idea that sometimes she get, she gets offers, and I'm happy about this. It's not an ego thing. She gets offers without me, you know, to go and do something. I, that makes me incredibly nervous.

• 47:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 47:21Speaker 00

  Because, you know, I don't get cancelled as a connect, by being connected to her.

• 47:25Speaker 01

  Oh, that, I didn't even realize what you were saying. No, I know, I know the joke, but like you're saying when she, the edit does her favors, you mean in that way. Like she'll say some.

• 47:31Speaker 00

  I mean, she just, she just, she, what makes her great is what makes it

• 47:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 47:35Speaker 00

  potentially dangerous.

• 47:36Speaker 01

  So I go back and forth with this sort of like, so that worry that you're worrying for her in truth is your worry that you're carrying. And if she doesn't have it, it doesn't belong to her. So you're worrying for her, for her, but it's really about you. And on the other hand, she's getting so much out of it that she enjoys. I say this for me, like, my parents love, my dad loves it. So like, there is something, I don't know. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. But like, that's, am I taking something away from him?

• 48:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:02Speaker 01

  And I do, I go back and, and it's not that dramatic, but it's just this perspective I go back and forth with. And the truth is, unfortunately, and I understand it. When going through this filter system, how much does it mean? Is it a little thing for me and a big thing for somebody else? For all those things, you have to get through the door of

• 48:21Speaker 01

  opening yourself to the public. And that's a door that I feel that, you know, I'm the dad and he's the kid with. And you're not old enough to be on social media. You know, I don't mean that literally, but like as a parent, like there is a protective thing, I feel.

• 48:37Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 48:37Speaker 01

  Like, some people are fucking weird. You know?

• 48:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:42Speaker 01

  And like, what if they go up to, you know, they come up to me, I know how to handle it. You know, I remember when I first went on TV. Uh, and it wasn't a show that many people knew, but my mom, I was always doing stuff with my mom. So people were tweeting stuff and tweeting at my mom. And my mom was just befriending everybody back and messaging everybody back. And I'd be like, you know, 80% at least of the people you're messaging are not only is it fine, it's probably awesome.

• 49:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 49:06Speaker 01

  But every now and then, and I don't know if she would know the difference, you know?

• 49:10Speaker 00

  My, my, my mom, she, uh, messaged me. She called me and she said, I said, what are you doing today? She said, I'm meeting this couple at this cafe.

• 49:19Speaker 01

  Right.

• 49:20Speaker 00

  And I said, oh, who are they? And she said, there's people that messaged me and said they're, they're fans. I said, what are you talking about? And she goes, oh, they said they like me. They messaged me on Facebook. So I'm just gonna go meet them for a coffee.

• 49:31Speaker 01

  I was like, you got counsel.

• 49:32Speaker 00

  Your mom really loves dates.

• 49:35Speaker 00

  Okay, we're gonna play a little game for you, with you. It's called misquoted. I've got some quotes here, some of them, you said, some of them we've made up. Or altered something you've said, and you've just got to tell me if you think this is true or false.

• 49:46Speaker 01

  So this is, did I actually say this or not?

• 49:49Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 49:49Speaker 01

  I, I don't know this game. You don't always play this, do you?

• 49:52Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, we do.

• 49:54Speaker 01

  This is such a stupid game. I never said that.

• 50:02Speaker 00

  It's misquoted. Here's your first one. Good luck. I scored against LeBron, slam dunk the funk.

• 50:08Speaker 01

  I say it every day.

• 50:10Speaker 01

  I scored against LeBron, slam dunk the funk. I would immediately, if, if, if you, if we were hanging out with a bunch of people and I didn't know you and you walked over and you said that, I would immediately think you were an undercover cop.

• 50:25Speaker 01

  What's up, boys? Oh, real quick, I just want to let you know, um, I once scored against LeBron James. I slam dunk the funk. Do you have any cocaine?

• 50:37Speaker 01

  Send that clip to Ricky Gervais.

• 50:38Speaker 00

  Pardon?

• 50:39Speaker 01

  Send that clip to Ricky Gervais.

• 50:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, I will do also. That will click that, yeah, it's gonna be great.

• 50:44Speaker 00

  But you're amazing at basketball, aren't you?

• 50:45Speaker 01

  Ah, that's not for me to say. But if you wanna pull up, uh, if you wanna go check, we'll do a clip of I am phenomenal and we'll put up a text to say, you know, the thumbnail if you wanna watch. We swipe back, you'll put the thumbnail up and say if you wanna watch.

• 50:57Speaker 05

  Cause I think Rick Glassman has this great photo of him playing against LeBron James in high school, which is just an insane thing.

• 51:03Speaker 01

  Now, I heard he's really good.

• 51:05Speaker 05

  Rick's really good.

• 51:05Speaker 00

  Somebody told me that like he was, I think, playing a pickup game with someone, like somebody in entertainment and they're like, hey, man, like, you gotta dial it back a little bit.

• 51:13Speaker 01

  Hit that, Baldi. Catch the fucking ball, dude. You're not aware of how other people perceive you.

• 51:22Speaker 00

  What are you talking about?

• 51:24Speaker 01

  Good take, idiot.

• 51:28Speaker 01

  What's? Are you not entertained?

• 51:34Speaker 01

  Got it.

• 51:38Speaker 01

  Are you fucking nuts?

• 51:47Speaker 01

  I love that. Oh, I don't, I don't even know what you swiped to. But if that was the, my video, I am phenomenal, yes, it's based off of a true story of getting kicked out of a basketball game. This one I was talking about, how like, uh, I always thought I was the first picked and everyone loved me and I found out that some guys don't even go when I'm there.

• 52:03Speaker 00

  How close was, what were you doing, what you're doing in that to what you actually did?

• 52:08Speaker 01

  It was very inspired. Joel McHale plays my old boss, Bill Lawrence, who had to send me the email.

• 52:13Speaker 00

  Who has the conversation with you?

• 52:14Speaker 01

  It was an email, but he sent it in an email.

• 52:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 52:16Speaker 01

  And it was a very, I mean, it, it, it was the inciting incident to me, learning about myself. It was a beautiful email. And, uh, Joel's script was that email.

• 52:26Speaker 00

  Right.

• 52:27Speaker 01

  Almost word for word, with the exception of when Joel improvised, that how much he likes anal sex. And then Bill told me that people are going up to him because they thought that was his email. They get so funny.

• 52:40Speaker 01

  But, uh, uh, so that was all based on very true things, but the character I made was me, how I think, is this how they saw me?

• 52:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:49Speaker 01

  So it was a little bit heightened.

• 52:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:51Speaker 01

  It was also, I never knew I was gonna post it. I filmed, it was three different things and I filmed it because I was writing this show about an adult men's basketball league, adult, adult men's league, rec league. And I wanted to film it because I've made stuff and after I edited it, I'm like, oh, I kinda like get what this is now. So I like made this as this temporary thing so I could help write it. And then I ended up not doing anything years later. I'm like, oh, I thought there was funny parts. So I filmed different things and kind of like Frankensteined it together. Uh, but it was, it was, it was definitely real.

• 53:20Speaker 00

  So that email like was, was like a life changer for you, I guess, or, or an epiphany. It gave you, it gifted you with an epiphany, right?

• 53:27Speaker 01

  The, the directs, the directness that he spoke to me at and the time, point in my life when I was able to receive it. Cause I remember like, I've learned that it's a lot easier to receive things if you're interested in the information. Meaning like, it doesn't affect the ego as much if I am like, oh, am I being too loud?

• 53:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 53:44Speaker 01

  I'm not, it's not me being bad, like, is that what you think?

• 53:47Speaker 00

  But if I said to you, and I'm not thinking this, but if I, if I, if I said to you, Rick, I didn't like the way you did this, you've done, the way you're talking right now, can you just chill on that? You don't feel, you appreciate the information, you don't feel, there's no sting to you in hearing that.

• 54:02Speaker 01

  I'm a human, I guess it depends on the situation. If I'm totally blindsided and I'm feeling so connected and I'm realizing, oh, I'm way off. I might feel a little bit of, uh, of embarrassment and shame. And also like, the shame being of like, oh, I've, I've regressed, I'm, I'm that again. Um, but the truth is in most times, and especially in a situation like if you said that now, it, my first thought would be like, one, thank you for telling me that.

• 54:23Speaker 00

  Right.

• 54:23Speaker 01

  And also, two,

• 54:26Speaker 01

  could we, like, could you tell me what happened? Like, you feel safe enough to tell me how you feel. Like, I, now, now it's like the Mario star and now I, we could, we're not worried about like, you, you're not gonna just check your watch, you'll tell me you're bored. Before that wears off, tell, like, what did I do? And then you might say something where I'll be like, oh, fuck, I'm so glad you told me that.

• 54:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 54:50Speaker 01

  And then you might, or you might be saying something like, oh, we were just different people. Like, I get it, maybe we're not for me. But no, I never scored on LeBron and I said I scored on LeBron and slam dunked by Willy Wonk.

• 54:59Speaker 00

  Thanks.

• 55:01Speaker 01

  You're welcome.

• 55:01Speaker 00

  Uh, your next one. I'm the back hurts funny kind of Jew.

• 55:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 55:06Speaker 00

  No, you said that on.

• 55:07Speaker 01

  There's the good looking Jews and then, uh, who that aren't funny. And let's just be real, they don't tip and that's maybe where it comes from. Uh, and then there's the, my back hurts, um, and like, could I, you know, like, will you please write down my order? I, I'm not saying you have a bad memory, but it makes me anxious with all my modification. Just write it, what do you, what do you, are you trying, if you're trying to impress me, you're doing the opposite. Just write it down. Because then you're gonna come back and say, did you, did you say raw or grilled onions? And I'm like, both, but now also like, do you remember no butter on, like, but like, I'll be funny and I'll tip you well.

• 55:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, got you. Okay, makes sense.

• 55:38Speaker 01

  They're not as attractive.

• 55:39Speaker 00

  Uh, here's your last one. There's so many levels of online dating that Instagram is the real world.

• 55:48Speaker 01

  I know what that means, and if you say yes, there's no way that's a quote, because it's close, but no, I never said that.

• 55:54Speaker 00

  Oh, what's the actual quote then?

• 55:55Speaker 01

  I don't know what the quote is, but I know like that isn't right. What I thought is, I don't think it's the real world, but because I've met so many people online and it's not specific to dating, it's more so, I would say, to booking podcast guests. But like, that, that doesn't feel as, as, as, um, fake and digital as posting does. Like, if I were to direct message you, oh, how we met?

• 56:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 56:20Speaker 01

  It's, I'm not gonna meet you in real life.

• 56:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 56:22Speaker 01

  So Instagram, I don't think that's not real life. I think when you post, it's, we're all selling something and that's not real. But I think being able to message somebody and talk to somebody is no different than like looking up somebody's phone number in the Yellow Pages and calling them. So it's, it's not about dating, but I think that like, Instagram, I sometimes, cause I don't drink, I don't go to bars. I do sometimes think like Instagram is like, that's the bar for me.

• 56:48Speaker 00

  Right. So what's your, what's your dating process then?

• 56:54Speaker 01

  The past four relationships I've been on have been, we met online in some way. Twitter, Twitter, Instagram, Instagram. And it wasn't necessarily me like, hey, will you date me? Usually if I meet somebody online, especially, but anywhere, there's a long process. I've had a fair amount of, they're usually long distance relationships too, which is not what I'm seeking. And I keep going back and forth, is that some subconscious thing? And I don't think so. I think it's more, there's more people to meet when you get rid of the filter of they have to be within 20 miles of me.

• 57:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:32Speaker 01

  And then you've just FaceTimed for months and they're like, okay, I'll meet you.

• 57:36Speaker 00

  Really?

• 57:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't love, when I date somebody, when I go on a date with somebody, logically I'm aware, I won't, I don't know you yet. But emotionally, I'm like, nah, we're not on the same frequency. It's not worth it. So I have recently been trying, just go on at least three dates with a person before you decide otherwise, even though I know. And I'm like, no, my instincts have been pretty spot on.

• 57:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:00Speaker 01

  I don't know, I'm, I am ready for a family yesterday. Like I want to meet my person. I want to start a family. I want to be making money for a reason. As opposed to making money because now I'm not as worried about if I'm able to pay my bills. I want to be able to support somebody. I want somebody to help me. Like I want it so much. I don't know what it is, but I, I venture to say I'm maybe not doing it efficiently.

• 58:29Speaker 00

  It's time to start thinking about this.

• 58:30Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 58:31Speaker 00

  You know? We're, we're almost at the end of our podcast. Time, yeah.

• 58:39Speaker 01

  I thought you were gonna say time.

• 58:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was gonna say time. I don't know why I changed it. Anyway, we like to end the podcast on a big moment.

• 58:44Speaker 01

  Each other's sentences.

• 58:45Speaker 00

  Good. Really good. What I'd love to ask you is, do you, could you give us some sort of exclusive, like something you've never said publicly? Or a bit of advice or something, you know, juicy?

• 59:00Speaker 01

  Right.

• 59:01Speaker 00

  Is there anything that springs to mind?

• 59:04Speaker 01

  I mean so much. I just, I don't know. I've never said it publicly.

• 59:10Speaker 01

  Something I've never said publicly, literally. You never know.

• 59:16Speaker 01

  What you don't know, but.

• 59:20Speaker 01

  Sometimes.

• 59:24Speaker 01

  What's the difference? I don't think I've ever said that.

• 59:29Speaker 01

  I don't, I mean it.

• 59:30Speaker 00

  Thank you. Wow.

• 59:32Speaker 01

  I also feel like, maybe that's a little bit of advice?

• 59:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. No, really not.

• 59:39Speaker 00

  Really nice.

• 59:41Speaker 01

  I don't want to leave.

• 59:43Speaker 00

  You don't want to leave?

• 59:44Speaker 01

  I, I'm, yeah, this is what I was talking about, about making friends.

• 59:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 59:50Speaker 01

  We have a podcast, so like, you're like, yeah, I'll talk to Rick for a little bit.

• 59:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 59:53Speaker 01

  But like, to be able to talk to somebody and then to have some other people just over there every now and then be like.

• 1:00:01Speaker 00

  It's great, isn't it?

• 1:00:02Speaker 01

  That might, this might be, that's my, yeah, I don't, I don't have, you know, I have a camera operator, shouts to Mccone and Miranda in there. But like, yeah, this kind of feel, it doesn't feel like an audience, because I know you're all here doing a job that you're supposed to be doing. And you're, you're an audience.

• 1:00:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:19Speaker 01

  And you haven't been laughing in a way where it feels like, oh, they're, you know, like, you ever do a table read at a, or like a run through at a multi camp? And all the writers are like, ha, ha, you know, trying to keep the jokes going. It's like, stop it.

• 1:00:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:31Speaker 01

  I feel that way when like, when people applaud. Like when you, I, I, I don't remember if I said it last night, but I've been saying recently, this is my, because I, I used to acknowledge it, but it was such a waste of time. Like you guys, please, you don't have to do that. You don't do that. But now what I like to do is when I, when people like are doing that, something, I like to like take it in, like pretend like I'm really like, that felt really good. You're like, is that what you think is good for me? Wow, that, that was really nice.

• 1:00:56Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 1:00:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:59Speaker 01

  But every now and then, there's a little bit of a laugh and it's like.

• 1:01:03Speaker 01

  I like, it's awesome. I kind of want to have, I want to have producers for multiple reasons and now I have a new one.

• 1:01:08Speaker 00

  Yeah. And look, I, I can speak, I think I speak for all three of them. I say that they'd much rather do, work on your podcast and continue to work on this one.

• 1:01:16Speaker 01

  Well, how about you?

• 1:01:16Speaker 00

  That's a fair comment.

• 1:01:17Speaker 01

  Maybe the, the reason you feel that way is because you're so busy speaking for them.

• 1:01:22Speaker 01

  What podcast would you rather work on?

• 1:01:24Speaker 00

  You're a real piece of shit, aren't you? Right at the end.

• 1:01:26Speaker 01

  Thank you for telling me. What could I do different?

• 1:01:32Speaker 00

  Oh shit, hold on one second.

• 1:01:34Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, what about Ricky?

• 1:01:36Speaker 00

  Thanks. I'm in Copenhagen at the moment, but I'll pile this on to my peeps. I'm up for it.
