This week's guest is one of my favorite improvisors ever, and in my humble opinion, one of the funniest guys in #showbiz. You may know him as Jean-Ralphio from "Parks and Recreation", Yasper in "The After Party", or Clyde Oberholt on Showtime's "House of Lies." Perhaps you've heard his voice as Dewey Duck in "DuckTales", Leonardo in "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and/or as Sonic in "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"?! #MoneyBags much?!
We chat all things Mario Brothers, being present, IB Guard, and the art of improvisation (including making the awesome improv special, "Middleditch and Schwartz"). If you wanna talk about feel good energy, it's hard to not include Ben Schwartz in the conversation. Enjoy

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!

Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office, Soul Boom podcast) takes his shoes to talk jokes and sincerity with Rick. By the end, Rainn says that this podcast was  "the deepest exploration of The Office, and my experience on it, that I have ever done." That being said, even if you've never seen an episode of The Office, this is a GREAT sit down with 2 wonderful, new, curious friends.

They call Danny, Danny's sister, Rick's parents, Rick's grandma, and of course, the Client Advocate himself, Uncle Bob.
