I'm not very good But I just I worked so so so hard and I got decent. Okay, and I Have friends now I for the first time I think this is so heartwarming I'm serious. Yeah, what do you mean? Yes sports fucking rule, dude. If you're if you're unaware This is a gripping story

Sports do rule Kobe Bryant. I don't remember what interview it was Talked about something about how important sports are sports are not even at the level that he was at But sure he did he was at the one of the highest levels. He did good. Kobe Bryant. Yeah, and He talked about how important it is to at a younger age to to work with people to get something and also Loose and he's like because it matters so much because you're whatever level you're at You you need to win and you want to win and you don't and it breaks your heart And then you realize but then there's next year and you try it again And you're like losing sucks and it should motivate you but it's just a thing

Yeah, and how important it is to lose not just for sports But just like to recognize the importance of how you feel in this moment is chemical and matters and it's just this moment, right? and I'm actually feeling myself Want to get merches as my eyes are watering but like sometimes my eyes start to water when I say stuff like no, that's good But um, I have friends. I'm I'm I have a sense of confidence people are Asking me before I don't think we were on but before I was talking to you about how like sometimes it's uncomfortable You ask people to come to your podcast about there

Oh, yeah, it's like I'm okay with it, but that's all I ever did I would be like, hey, do you want to come over and like I can't I remember I think I talked about this recently I'm one of my pods but remember my buddy who I am friends with now But he never wanted to play and he always said that he's not allowed My mom won't let me so I said cuz my mom's such a good saleswoman I asked my mom to talk to his mom I'm gonna call his mom and she hit his mom had a lie to my mom That's like you fucking dory. Why wouldn't they come over and play?

I don't know Yeah, I'm not judging I'm just saying as an eight as a ninth grader look at you know, they're going That's unfortunately and it sucks as you get older you have perspective. Yeah, I do know some shitty some things were I don't know if this was particularly with David, but some things were like people come over I would get like I love competition basketball is great because I love being physical. I love competition I get aggressive in play and We used to like friends would come over sometimes and they wouldn't want to anymore, but like I would always want to wrestle Hold on there Ricky

I Know you're losing me You're attacking kids why don't up he's in a singlet On your knees Have a couple of like a pizza rolls. We watch the a team something So I don't know the brother at the time he was I think I think at this time Two and a half years older and he was really into boxing and his friends would come over and they would box boxing gloves in the basement and

They're like two feral cats. I Would stay over. Yeah, I would stay over all the perfume and fucking All of your activities take place at sing-sing it's I love it you got me I fucking love it, but yeah, I was annoying I bother people I also didn't pick up on stuff I always I still in the I've developed a lot of tools I came into some awareness five years ago that really changed my life, but I I Really couldn't pick up on stuff unless unless you said Rick I don't like it when you do this then I would maybe be like maybe he doesn't like this

Okay, you know at most but if you were just like Okay, I'll be like yeah, you know and Not that we don't all have the tools and maybe I made people and come also my brother was older and be aggressive And he would be fighting my brother also brothers getting fights sure my brother beat the shit out of me You know like not just you know like like Jumped on I remember that those I was in the den watching the Simpsons I'm sure I there was some reason that I didn't know about but just came in and jumped on me landed his knees on my lap So I couldn't stand up fucking beating me and I was like

Great cornbread though. Yeah Check it out on Jeopardy. Well, yeah, hey missus glassman. I gotta leave Come my mom But yeah, people would see, you know, I'm either wrestling them or seeing me getting beat up or you know What was the rest? Where did the wrestling like WWF wrestling? Yeah that kind of wrestling and also like I was saying My brother liked a box So and I thought my brother was so cool. My brother was good at basketball brother. So funny So not as cool as mine

Let me call It's probably on TV or something probably fighting somebody Um, but yeah, it was an aggressive house, you know, it was an aggressive house Kind okay, kind but I think the farthest way to say it is just lacked awareness was was hyper and if if if the other Person didn't share in the dynamic and some did okay I do remember thinking because my mom said to me It's so nice that your friends with such-and-such or such-and-such not like I'm necessarily doing that a favor But like she's glad that that it's happening. Yeah, and I always thought that like I'm a good guy

I'm friends with the weird kids Until within the past five years What happened five years the second time you said within the past five years or what happened in five five years ago that this loose I This isn't a secret and I'm happy talking about it. I don't love talking about it too much I talk about in the pod and is a thing, but I was diagnosed with autism five years ago. Okay, and That changed so much for me There were so many unrelated things that that connected in patterns

Yeah, and I mean really five five, you know, I'm in my 30s when I found out and and just developing I've told this story on the podcast before on a podcast I feel like you need to say that in case people I don't know, but I'm on the show called undatable Are my boss bill Lawrence shut the bill Lawrence prison's gonna be up here Successful dude. He is a basketball game. I'm in the game for years And he sent me an email I there's been a year has been going where I'm like you were in one of those la basketball how I got so I never was on It's pretty cool. Oh bill saw me at the improv

Came up to me. Well, he went actually specifically see Brent morning. You guys know Brent. Yes. Yes very funny comic One of my best buds Brent came to see him. I was on the show He took a liking to us and we after the show we're talking basketball and I'm like well, this is my ride game Yeah, this is where my value comes from people like me since I started playing basketball people only like me because I'm Good at basketball. I get down to the paint. I don't leave that fucking box You got to see what I could do The game's a great game. It's what you want. It's industry. It's indoor only they never have more than 15 guys So you don't have to wait more than one game

I every week for months Finally, she's like, all right, why don't you get you guys come Brent and I came and I was fucking Brent makes fun of it And it's funny in the way. He says it makes me look a little much, but it's also I'm awesome. Okay, I'm just you know I'm I'm aggressive. I'm in and it was great And so was some of some of the people and I'm in the game bill sends me an email Brent and I an email Hey, I want you to audition for the show. I don't I don't have an agent. I have never auditioned for a show before That was my first job

I'm in this game for years but Bill is a friend, you know, he's I've known him for years and So cut two years later, I I've got I learned a little bit about autism and I'm starting to realize some stuff and like I'm autistic and I'm not gonna get checked. It's like five grand and it's tough to diagnose an adult Sometime it depending but like where I met it's tough to got you as a kid. It would have been easier Yeah, that's all I'm thinking about is you were come you you went undiagnosed and we're fucking completely Mishandled as a kid and that put all these feelings in you a feeling like lost and and you know feeling like there's something wrong with you And this isn't a thing and if they would have fucking approach it a little bit different

Your whole life would have been different, right? This is really corny. I'm so grateful for the way everything went I wouldn't I'm the comedian. I am and I'm really because of that. Yeah, and of course and I think I'm really good And I became good kind of recently it took me a while to figure out how to be do the craft It's hard obviously sure, but I'm really grateful for the language of comedy that I learned which was You know, I never I never knew how people felt about me, but I wasn't aware that I didn't know I just whatever I'm thinking you're thinking and I'm the I grew up that I'm glad thanks mom and dad I grew up thinking I'm fucking awesome. Sure. Everyone likes me. I'm funny David wants to come over his mom won't let him you know so like I

Okay time So so

But what I was saying is I never knew how people felt about me, but it wasn't like how do they feel? I this was like a subconscious thing But I always knew when somebody laughed that in that moment, you know, we're connected, right? Yes, so it wasn't that I'm necessarily the funniest is just I loved making people laugh and I loved laughing with people I like making them laugh But if I'm not the one making them laugh we're laughing we're on the same page and I knew that right there's a safety You can't fake that right? I mean you can fake but you can't it's undeniable. Yeah, I don't think you can't I mean, I remember saying learn one of those round table interviews like for Oscar something

He was talking about the hardest thing and I agree with this the hardest thing to do as an actor is to fake laugh You know, right? Yeah, you know Even if you're not in this business you could it's something that feels a little disingenuous or like sure. It's it. Don't worry about it. Yeah But I learned so much about like learning how to if I could say something in a way that gets a laugh Then it's good. Mm-hmm. What I didn't know really until five years ago was how fucking exhausting that is for everybody and just Needing to get laughs being on all the time being on all the time and people always said to me I never know if you're joking or serious and I say this all the time on my podcast But I never thought and I still don't think that those two things are mutually exclusive on both. Yeah

I'm being playful But if I need something and I'm uncomfortable or I think I might you make you uncomfortable more realistically If I could say it in a funny way, maybe it's better. Yeah, you know pick your battles sure also I was so I didn't want to always be fucking doing this. I'm fucking drained constantly But you had to it was in you I it was I When I call comedy a language, I mean that quite literally I spoke English as a second language I spoke comedy comedy is my language. So I only know how to say I have to take I have to use your bathroom I didn't know that sentence. I always knew I gotta go take a big fucking shit

You know not really but like, you know, I'm saying like yeah, yeah, like that's another way to say it I learned how to talk in this in the fucking annoying loud bullshit way And I just thought that's what it was. I just thought also. I fucking love this game. I'm thinking right now He's all right when people didn't make me laugh I'm thinking like What's the point of you? I Still This guy's bringing up most of my life like Seinfeld said something to me a basketball sign for if you're not going for a joke

What are you doing? Um, I've said I've I remember I said this to my mom and All years ago and it is something sexual. So if it seems weird my mom, I don't talk to her on the phone Let's do it live. You're worried about weird now. We're fucking a half hour in what do you come on? I'm thinking that I just feel like this could be contextualized not that it's weird but inaccurately like I'm not there's no weird here I don't talk to my mom about coming too much But I do remember saying like I had this awareness and I said to her if somebody doesn't make me laugh Teach me something feed me or make me come. What's the point of them?

And I don't think if that's selfish. I I've always I always felt like selfish has bad PR You need to offer me something and I need to offer you something or the relationship doesn't serve a purpose Mm-hmm, and I don't need people to feed me not too many people know how to make me come autism just joking, but you know what I mean But you friends if you they don't make you laugh or if they're not super interesting and could like teach you stuff Mm-hmm. No, I completely agree. Yeah, I understand So in my mind That's also my value. My value was oh, I funny Another value of mine is I'm a great basketball player and I got to say

When does this episode come out this month this month? Like 48 hours. I'll send you a clip. We're cut to it. We'll cut to a clip up Hold on one sec. So so I I Back to the beginning kicked out of this basketball game. I don't know Wait, you got kicked out of the basketball game. Oh, I have to tell you. Do you really? We don't have to this guy gave you a show to so you wouldn't show up to his game anymore People in the lane will give you a straight the series deal I'm showing this is years after I'm in the game. Okay game for years

Years after the game starts. I'm on the on the I'm on the show I mean, I'm in the game then we're on a TV show for three and a half years. Okay, then the show gets cancelled I'm still in the game for another year or so before this happens Where he sends me an email and I want to preface by saying the email is gonna sound mean and aggressive Mm-hmm. It was pure love one of the night It changed my life for the better and it was he did something for me that other people haven't and a lot of people don't Which was he told me something that I didn't know that benefited me to know. It's just kind of a more Personal version of hey, you got a booger, you know, sure, okay, right? He sends this email saying which we're big on that

Love to tell not I don't love to tell somebody but now know that I'm with somebody 100% um So I'm thinking to my autism for like a year. I'm not maybe But then within a two-week period I got kicked out of a of a poker game Mm-hmm, and that one it's cuz they're boring. I'll take responsibility for everything, but they're boring. I'm having fun Seriously not one person wanted to wrestle You got a pair of two someone get on my shoulder. So there I got tow for grace in a headlock. All right, there we are I

Mix up that cube would you All right But you know I put a pin in the poker game, okay, and then but so the email for the email Yeah, so I get kicked out of this basketball. Hey Rick. Hey handsome. That's what he calls everybody calls it really handsome This is a tough email to send. Mm-hmm couple of the guys in the game don't like playing when you're here and When I was younger, I I've had some issues and and and I thought fuck these guys So if you want to say fuck and fuck off, you know, you have every right to do that

But I just think this is you lack some awareness and there's some things that I don't think you realize about how people feel about you And then he listed some stuff and some of which made sense some of which I still disagree with but I can't argue and deny and I knew this then this was it was like um, Can I have two or three things on the list? Yeah, okay You you're too aggressive you're yelling at people you talk a lot of shit. You're always you're always yelling at stuff. Okay? You don't You don't pass the ball enough, okay, you don't get back on these Double dribbled in the championship. I don't want to say it wasn't mostly about my game. It was mostly about my behavior in the game

Yeah, yeah, um, which doesn't the autism creates like a blind side to you acting I'm truly it can't be all day. Let listen mate I'm not this way because of autism. I'm this way because this is this is this is the way I am However, some of the character traits of autism didn't help me be aware to make the choice to be different Which I think I would have but who knows sure, right? Mm-hmm But it's not an autistic thing. It's it's um Where I could connect the autism to was The reality and what I realized when I read this email was maybe maybe yes, yes

No, no all of those things. There's a through line, too I had no idea anybody felt that way or could feel that way okay, and you know I've said this as an analogy before but if someone checks their watch a lot of times people think maybe they're bored and want to go I think oh, it's and you'll I'll tell them the time. Okay, so I didn't know So even if it wasn't true if nobody wants to play with me that's something's happening that I'm doing wrong Incidentally and I said we'll put up a clip I Was where I wrote this show that I was pitching with Bill and this was years ago and I made this before the email After the email after the I got but he said so the email was

I'm not gonna kick you out of this game. I think you should not show up for a few weeks Okay, think about if you want to come back to the game and here are some of the things and you know I love you and it is what it is and That really that really It really felt bad. I wasn't mad at him. It felt really bad like I've been in this game for years I'm some of these guys in this game are been writers on the show. I mean, these are my friends You know say very much. What are they my friends? You know and I

Didn't like that they had to tell Bill and Bill had to tell me instead of telling me I also had I used to think fuck those guys. I'm in the I'm responsible for my end But also if you guys told me this I would have then known if I had a booger on my nose Yeah, I have since learned that although I still agree that that should that is what you people should do people are afraid of Confrontation not because they don't want to make the other person feel bad, but they would feel bad Because they feel bad people people run away from uncomfort even if a builders that meant and I think that's It's a shitty indirect inefficient way of communicating But I've also learned that everybody has their own tools and it's not

Their responsibility to communicate the way I want them to so I've since Dissolved that and and I take my responsibility. I also have come into some I was real that when I first found out I Got real excited Because like was a diagnosis. Yeah, okay, so you went and you I got diagnosed gotten a five G's It was a different thing It met with it. I found this adult behavior that the test for UCLA was just for kids or it's specific more specifically This was an adult behavior specialist who deals. This is what she does and met for a while

And she gave me this diagnosis and at first it was like See not see that I'm autistic, but see like see Rick. You're a good guy like you're not you're not people You know my intentions were good, which isn't everything but matters and that was what I was resting on sure And it's not all that matters at all, but like oh, oh Kid when I was a kid all these things they can act everything so much and then I I Started researching and learning and reading more about it and it's like oh my gosh and all these things and there's one book I forgot what it's called and people I've talked to on my podcast people message me I feel it's relevant. I want to say

Asperger's from the inside out it's called it was this guy who wrote it who wasn't diagnosed until his kid is kid was So he point being he was diagnosed as an adult too and all the feelings of Is this what it is am I and oh and all like I all these tools that I built myself some were very efficient some inefficient It's just from the perspective of learnings adult. It was big. It was very nice to be like. Oh, yeah This is I there's a community of this, you know Then as I started wanting to like I would tell some of my friends Some would say yeah, obviously some say that's not you're not autistic And I remember I felt dirty needing to convince people well

You didn't know me when I was a kid and what and I was like selling people on a thing that wasn't meant to be an identity It was just like Pierce has literally given me a book now of learning stuff And and I became depressed too because I started to realize, you know So this I'll go in and out of the show that I was writing or am but Well was because if that's the story but this guy who's who's the funniest best basketball player in the world everyone loves him He turns 30 and finds out nobody likes him and it's like that happened. That's you know Everything is different than what I thought it was not that things changed and that's what's weird The diagnosis didn't change who I was it just opened up awareness and things didn't change

Which means it's always been this way and I only remember my memories and what was my responsibility And why is this and and then I became so sad and I Don't know when I'm bothering you But I know that you probably won't tell me and I might do it at some point So now I'm walking around like by the way, I'm sorry if I'm Is this okay? This is fucking no. I'm saying that stuff. I do that stuff. Oh, okay, but like Shit I was doing an act off Hey, you're gonna rope-a-dope me I don't like that

I Didn't know so I'm like walking around. I'm walking around. I remember I Know as it feels like I'm walking around on Blindfolded on a beach where there's like a line in the sand and I never know where the line is and people could move wherever that you want I put your no one tells you yeah, so I don't know and I'm just so depressed and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing because I am taking the Responsibility completely on me because I've bothered people and it took me a Bit before I started to kind of come out the other end and realize I am responsible and I'm not responsible for you

and that's where I started to develop tools of of I've realized that people People aren't usually upset annoyed or disappointed by I mean Relatively in the in the gray area pocket by Who you are or what you say or what you do what makes what triggers them or upsets them or makes them uncomfortable? Is when their expectations aren't met right and we all a lot of people have subconscious expectations of what an interaction is supposed To be based on reputation and based on their own experiences So when I come into a comedy podcast

I'm expecting to be silly and blah blah blah blah if you guys are not that thing It might be a little jarring and the jarring is the issue not who you are So I have found a way to let people know beforehand my podcast is called take your shoes off Because take your shoes off is an easy Ivo CD. Mm-hmm. It's an easy one for people. I make sense But it's also like an icebreaker. Sure. I also need you to wash your hands and put your cell phone in the phone Soap and sit on the blanket the pounding. That's it. Yeah, I've got you. Okay. Uh, I thought you were trying to have a big time So if you could if you could frame which is I don't want it to be my responsibility

And but it's it's kind of a tool of communication if you frame people's expectations of you and or the interaction It'll only be best. Sure. So I know when I meet people I'll I'll say certain things and this is a different situation because this is playtime and I know it's supposed to be playtime So I don't need to I think I'm gonna be the same page with you. But when you meet people you sometimes have to say hey I'm uh, I get a little silly If feel free, please if it's if you're never not on board just say Rick like bring it down. Mm-hmm I have no ego. It's just true. I got no ego attached to this. Tell me but I won't know it makes people feel safe Sure to tell me but also. Oh, he's a lot. I'm expecting that. It's okay

and I started to realize that oh people Other people's expectations of interactions are not my fault and it just made me start feel a little bit better Yeah, good, but I wrote this thing ultimately I wrote this thing And I made this web series called the six lead shot of the sex lead on my YouTube and it was great I was a six lead on undatable and we made this little web series That ended up being on hulu for a little bit and let me see calm and it won awards and I say this

Bragging because it felt really good and I I made this thing about me. I mean, that's a pretty not to cut you out That's a pretty fucking long pretty fucking tough journey and to see some kind of fucking, you know Accolades from that that's understandable. Yeah, because also I was playing a it's very curb inspired It's a bad curb your enthusiasm But I was playing a heightened version of myself of now seeing how people saw me and now I get to do that for entertainment I get to be that thing contextualized sure and I got to do on the Warner Brothers lot. We got to shut down one of the streets for I had extras

costumes crafty security. I'm directing this thing and it was very awesome and Bill saw it and liked it and wanted me to make more and he now started to see oh Rick's You know, I don't think I was too good on that that's that sitcom But look oh Rick's funny like Rick is a he found a thing and this is after the email This is after all this stuff. This is before the email. Okay. This is bill has now seen me this thing I also think the way that bill is able to communicate with me I think there was and I don't want to put words in his mouth

I'll tell you how I felt I felt like like bill thought I was funny put me on the show I was whatever on the show he thought I had potential, but I wasn't doing it There was some issues on the show too that I didn't realize were happening. I always wore headphones People thought I didn't want to talk or I was I was being disrespectful Just things I didn't know and I don't think I had the best reputation on that set for the first year and a half Mm-hmm, the bill saw me do that and then he started like And you didn't know any of this stuff yet you weren't diagnosed you didn't it wasn't diagnosed Yeah, what the fuck I didn't know this stuff not to say that people didn't say things, but it didn't register to me

I got you um but then the email thing happened and a Year goes by I've since been diagnosed. I'm already back in the game Bill was really sweet too. I had shoulder surgery right after he kicked me out So I didn't come back for like months and months So when I came back bill said if if I'm Bill and you're me Okay, and all the other guys are shooting run over here Mm-hmm bill made a point to stand over here. So other people here. I'm so how's your shoulder surgery?

I know that's why you were gone for a while like trying to not let that throw me you know class move And I said I'm feeling better, but I also know that a lot of guys here don't like playing with me Cuz I didn't fuck you guys. He's like what the fuck I Said you were getting your ears pierced. What are you doing? I fucking love it And what did they say nobody said anything? Some of the guys didn't know that I was a bill. Yeah, some of the guys didn't know why I was kicked out I didn't know I was kicked out some of them obviously fuck them. Oh, but also I In my head

The point of playing basketball is to win. Mm-hmm. That's where my value is. That's why we're here Nobody wants to lose and sit a game. So fucking win While other people are there to have a good time extra player friends Yeah, maybe pull it back a little bit on a Saturday, but I like to fucking hustle I like to drive in yeah There's some change when you went back where you like okay, and I'll see this more socially It made me think of like when I went back to school. He wouldn't even order ninth grade Man this guy's all right

Um check the ball you just Yeah, check the ball check the ball. I'm open. I'm just fast break. I refuse to shoot a layup. You want me to shoot? Sorry, you don't want to win Fucking cowards Um, I know you're soldier surgery. Yeah, everybody hates me When I made the sixth lead and when I was editing it, I love it. I'm proud of it. I love people seeing I think it's done It's gotten me jobs. It shows people what I'm able to do. It's my voice I'm very happy with it while I'm editing it like anybody else who does stuff

I'm seeing some stuff I could have done different if I make more here's what I would do And I remember thinking like I like this process So a year goes or so goes and I have this idea for the show based around this thing and I film Uh, I film a short not meant to push it anywhere, but basically before I write this thing. Let me film it edit it For the writing process. Um, and it was really funny I never but I made it. Um, Joel McHale plays bill Lawrence Uh, the script was uh written around the email that bill sent me

So it was really like taking some ownership and power and creative artistic like choices through this thing that Was ultimately very beneficial for me, but like a hard thing and to me able to make it funny Um, and we were doing and then bill and I and and another Producer shout out john stern from futile and stupid gesture. We were out going out to pitch this thing. I was gonna say This was all you got cast in that after all this awakening, right? No, that was before because it seems like You fit in like you fit more into that Now From what you're telling me does that if you haven't seen the movie it's awesome. Great. It's a story of the net origins

But do you see what I'm saying? Like no, I fit how so that character. Yeah, maybe yeah Listen, also, it's not like I'm diagnosed and all of a sudden like I stopped punching people and you know, like I was I'm still an adult. No No, like I'm still like, you know at this point I have I have friends. I'm not like The worst guy. I'm not horribly annoying. I'm just a lot sure and you know Just you know, just like any other annoying guy who doesn't you know, but like It wasn't um, it wasn't like I couldn't do stuff Um, so when I put I booked that it was unrelated

Uh, but but the guy I met from it Bill and I were going out to pitch this show. Okay, right when I booked As we see it that amazon show. Mm-hmm So I couldn't do my show anymore. So I didn't finish it. Um, I didn't finish out that short because it was only for me anyway Years go by I'm watching the footage with um shout out john michael He edits my podcast with me and I'm like, this is really funny I want to do something with this but there was no ending. So I filmed an ending last month It's literally over three years. Um, and I'm putting it out uh august 29th

So that's what I'm like. We'll show a sizzle clip. I was kind of joking, but I'll send it to you Um, but I made this gonna send you 15 videos, right? Uh, yeah, you know what have this Podcast be like bts some of the stuff I want to send you. Yeah I cannot overemphasize the fact that I do not know how to All right, we won't do it that august 29 check out my youtube channel. None of that stuff's plugged in Um, but I I've really I've really like uh, it's been a really nice way of self acceptance of like Not only growing and learning um becoming more aware and learning more tools of communication but also to then like

Use this stuff that that could be embarrassing or shameful, which isn't maybe I'm wrong, but it isn't uh as like Fun character stuff. Yeah. Yeah, of course Um shame kind of gets in the way of of acceptance and like To be embarrassed about something makes sense and I'm nervous and embarrassed about a lot of stuff But to feel shame about who I was as opposed to gratitude for getting it here Just makes me not be able to accept the thing and as corny as this is self-acceptance has changed my life. Um, it's made me Uh happy Gotcha, but it also has made me not try and sell you who I am like this. I am a lot

You know, I zig when I'm supposed to zag Now I feel bad. No, it's okay. No wait the stuff that you said before we started about how I'm my podcast is stupid and I I meant that I'm gonna accept myself as well.

Okay. Always a lease. Yeah. I'm gonna seize. Yeah, that was a lease. That's pretty classic. You ever by the floor model of an appliance or a TV? No.

Okay. My brother once got me true lies on DVD and it was used and I don't keep it with my other ones. I totally get that though. That's nothing has ever rang so true to me. Then that. I don't keep it with my other ones. What's your mom's best friend's first name? Uh, it's none of my business to say.

Okay. I'll say it. Lolly. Lolly. Okay. I like a lolly. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Will you wash your hands at the restaurant? Yeah. I wash my hands before I pee. Really? Yeah. So if I'm gonna eat. And I'm gonna eat. And I'm gonna eat as well?

Sometimes. Listen. You're at a restaurant. Lemons and limes. Lemons or limes on the table. Will you wash your hands with them at the table? No. Okay.

I will order before I wash my hands though because I've touched the menu. Okay. Okay. Any pets growing up? Oh yeah. Lay it on me there. A cat boy. A cat boy.

A cat boy. Just one cat, two cats, multiple cats. What are we talking about here? I mean, we gotta. Bleep all of them. I'm not kidding. I know you don't edit. Bleep all those.

I've never said my cat's names and I'm not joking. Bleep their names. A lot of them. I don't want to tell them. Did you kill any of them? Bleep these names? Yeah, thank you. I'm an incredible editor by the way.

It was all a ruse. Sounds like it was a lie. Do you not know the difference between a ruse and a lie? A ruse is a elaborate lie. My mistake. And look, it's done. Not yet. Not yet.

Jesus. And you stepped. This is just like a sizzle reel for him. He's doing it. He's got his basketball thumps going. He's got a Rubik's cube. Yeah, I mean. Now we try to ask him questions and he clams up.

And you stepped on my did you kill any of the pets line? Hershey, Squershey, you could say that name. We closed the garage in him. Thanks dad. It was an accident. Oh my god. He was a, this was before sensors. This was pre-COVID.

And that was a couple houses down. How many car garages did you have growing up? Two. Two car. Could you fit two cars in there or was it filled with stuff? You fit two cars in there. Although there's three now because when I went to college, my grand, my, my, my mom's parents who lived in California,

the last few years they were alive, they sold their place and moved in with us. So we put a little, we used that money, we put a little addition under the home. Okay. To give them like their own little living area and then another small part of the garage. Okay.

Write that down. I remember we got to write that down. Right next to Lollie. Putting it down there and killed cat. Got that on there. If I, I'm sorry, please. What did you do job wise when you were a kid? Did you work?

Did you work at all? Worker's permit when I was 13, worked at McDonald's. Okay. Worked there eight months, made maybe $600, kept going home. I was too hot. Hated it. Can I go home?

Okay. Do you want to ask to leave? I would ask to leave constantly. I would also ask people to do the coffee because it made me too hot. All right. Now. But then I worked at Best Buy. I would leave because it was too cold.

Worked in the computer department, did a good job. Sold a lot of computers, got big into computers for a while. I sold so many computers that they let me, they gave me some free CDs. I got a hardball CD and then another CD. So. What's hardball? What did I don't know what that is?

The storm is over, storm is over now. Come on. Is that a band? Is that a Cannery's baseball movie? Cannery's baseball. Oh, hardball. Yeah. Okay.

Wasn't as good as the replacements. No. Shout out to Shane Falco. Whoo. Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy. Hoi, hoi, hoi. I have that soundtrack too. The man show?

What? Was that from the man show? I know that from the replacements. Oh yeah, that's right. Irish kicker. Yeah. Probably. You don't think you'll want to say that anymore?

Irish or kicker? You can't put them together. At your place now. Do you get dressed in front of the dryer? No. No. Is that because you keep your clothes in the dryer? Yeah, that would be a trashy thing.

Yeah, no, I don't do that. If you leave your shit in the dryer. No, no. I also, when I take it out, I don't even, I don't throw it in a drawer. I fold everything. I put the socks together. I do the...

The OCD. Just having a nice closet. I don't think that's OCD. You keep everything nice and neat though with the house. Yeah. Shorts color coordinated. Shorts or color coordinated. Shirts.

Shirts color coordinated. That would fall OCD. Roy G. Bev. So I open your closet. Roy G. Bev. You won't open my closet. I want to be hiding. If you ever come to my podcast, you're not even upstairs.

Doing this one in the third garage. Just so we're clear, that's not a you thing. I just don't want people up there. Okay. Well, I was going to ask you that. It's with your OCD. Does somebody like me skeev you out? No.

No. No? Hang around a little while. I'm pretty gross. Yeah. Are you? Yeah. Yeah.

You don't want to wash your hands after you touch that ruby skew. Hmm. If I went to your house right now and asked for a water, what would you give me? I'd ask you cold or room temp, my friend. And then what did that be? A bottle or do you have like a... Would you like room temp or cold?

Let's go room temp. I got a burky. I'll throw it in the glass for you. What's a burky? It's a nice water filter. Really? On the counter. On the counter.

Ow. Yeah. And then what about cold? Depends if I have bottles. I often have bottles sparkling or still, but if not then I'll throw in some ice cubes and I'll let you know that the ice cube tray never touches the counter unless I wash it after.

It's very clean. Put the nice filtered water in there. If I'm going to take the ice out, I'll ask you, but I'll tell you I already washed my hands. Man, this is a guy I want to live with. Yeah. A burky is sick. I just looked it up.

It's like four hundo and it looks like something you'd have out at a brunch that would have like lemons in it when you're serving fresh water out. It's sick. All right. OK. Is there baking soda in your fridge? Yeah.

In your freezer? No. If you were preparing pasta at your house? When? On a Tuesday. I'm just saying when I'm preparing pasta. Yes, when you're preparing pasta at your house. It gets me there easier.

I apologize. Gotcha. When you're preparing pasta at your house? When am I doing it? Tuesday, 5 p.m. Cloudy outside. Right. Well, I'm not making pasta on a nice day.

I want to be walking outside. Not car, Bevy. That was too quick for me to laugh at. TQ. I was a good piece of business. G-P-O-B. This guy's talking to the fucking board's code over here. Do you cook the whole box of pasta in the whole jar of sauce?

Or will you half it and put it back in the fridge or the cabinet? The fact that you call it a box of pasta is already I'm out. Where is he? No, I get, I'm not making my own noodles, but I buy fresh noodles, gluten free. Okay. GF. How'd you do that? I've seen a menu before.

But yeah, but that would be asterisk GF. Sure. I'm more casual with it, all right. Lot of garlic, lot of garlic. One whole onion, if not two, saute that up for a while. So you're making the sauce. You're not doing jarred sauce? No, I'm jarred sauce, but I'm doctoring it.

But the question is, do you use the entire jar of sauce or will you put it half, use jar of sauce back in the fridge? I've done both. Okay. It depends on how much I'm making and what's doing, because sometimes with the pasta, when you get fresh, it's not as much as a box. But a lot of times I like to make food that I think will last me two,

three days, so I don't have to keep making it. But then you just eat it that day. Gotcha. So you figure out, what am I going to do? Am I going to be home? How much am I trying to make? I'll throw it in the fridge, but I try to use that sauce within a week. Okay.

All right. That's pretty good. It's pretty, pretty, pretty good. Have you ever been kicked out of a restaurant? Ask to leave. No, I've been kicked out of a poker game and basketball game in a school though. I've been kicked out of stuff only by my friends. Why'd you get kicked out of the poker game? Because they were boring.

We're just, we're sitting around, these are, these are boring people. Okay. And also I know some of, some of them I'm still friendly with and maybe watch and, and I have to acknowledge that I'm not talking about everybody, but also you know, you know, your poker game is boring as fuck and you guys are dry as fuck and I'm in there and I'm being silly sometimes and they're taking all through the table. They're just like, like, uh, you know, did you golf?

Like, yeah, no, no, I went golf and I wasn't sure, you know, I wasn't sure if I would want to go. But I ended up doing it and you know, I decided to do nine instead of eight. I'm like, oh, okay. I'm not, you know, I have your conversations, but I'm not engaged. So then the talking and then you're, you know, you're thinking and, and I'm just like joking around. Like, like if I want you to stay and I'll be like, hey, you should fold.

You're going to fold? I'll hold on real quick. Also, I just want to say, I just real quick, I'm not sure. Are you a little bitch? Me? Yeah. Are you a little bitch? Sometimes.

Yeah. You're a little bitch. Sometimes. Yeah. Why don't you play? Don't be a bitch. Being silly. All right.

I'm on their side. You know, I'm every now and then in a hand, like that's a device. Did you have a pizza cutter in your house growing up? Like the wheel one? Yeah. The, uh, the restaurant would cut it for me. I don't, we didn't make pizzas.

Never had pizza at the house. Yeah. But we would order a pizza. And you're not cutting that. It's already pre-cut. Fair enough. All right. Do you have a pizza cutter now?

What's the problem? Hold on one second. What's the problem? Did I say something wrong? We could do it again or do you want to? Hey, don't make me send you an email. All right. There's a lot of nice people around here.

Uh, Will you push a button at a red light? I have to. Yeah. I don't love it. Okay. You don't like to do it for, you don't want to touch it. No, do you?

No. All right. But you have to do it, right? Will you do it with a hand or elbow or like, do you have a spot that you think is like impervious to germs that you'll, instead of sacrificing a hand or a finger? I used to, but the reality is you put it on, you touch it with an elbow or a sleeve, then that's dirty.

Man, we are the same person. And sometimes, sometimes you'll go home and you'll be like, I don't want to touch my faces. I'll use this, but that's the thing you're using. So what I've had to do is just accept I'm going to get it on me. A lot has changed, a lot has changed recently for me. After COVID, we got bad. I started doing stand up again, touching microphones.

I'm like, just get, I'm just fucking, let me touch the thing. Whatever, man. Give it to me. You know, sometimes I feel like you're that way too. Yeah. I've had very OCD germs is a very big pre-COVID too, right? And now I think some autism. Oh yeah. COVID was like my Super Bowl.

That was like here. I was like, okay, everybody has to live like I live. Let's do it. I felt that way. It's like everyone's on the phone. I'm like, this is what it's always been. Dude, I'm wiping down the groceries. That's all I ever wanted to do and not be a wacko.

Were you eating your room? Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Well, I have a tray. I have trays that I eat in the room. No, but I'll bring it.

If I want to eat in the room, I'll make a decision like, I'm going to, I'm going to frost myself. I'm going to take, I'm going to eat. I'll be fine. I'll have a napkin. I'll have a tray. Okay. Yeah.

And then how long does that tray live in the room after you're done eating? I don't. I put, I can stay there overnight. I mean, maybe if I'm in the middle of a movie and I'm watching something in bed, I'll put the tray on the floor. But always, always, even if it's downstairs,

I don't, I don't, I don't like waking up in the morning and seeing dirty clothes, dirty dishes. I don't think that's an OCD thing. I just, I know that I don't like that because it, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. What if I say you're cooking and you know, you're, you're making your, your fresh pasta and a noodle falls

on the, a piece of noodle falls on the ground. Will you pick it up and eat it or is that a go in the trash? If a noodle poly will be on the trash, if I'm making a veggie and my floors have been cleaned recently, it's a game time decision. Sure. And it's early in the saute phase. I have been known to put it back in the pan.

It'll, it'll heat up. Yeah. But not if I'm cooking for somebody else. That's so specific, man. It's so fucking funny. Early in the saute game. Has the bathroom. I said clean.

Yeah. Body wash, bar. What are you doing? Body wash. Body wash. I found the ones that are okay. I don't know what they are. I asked my now ex, but still friend.

She told me all the things I'm supposed to buy that are the good ones. The healthier ones. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. I like, I use a bar sometimes. I'm not against a bar. I don't prefer a bar.

Yeah. Shower curtain or sliding glass? Unfortunately, curtain. Curtain. Okay. All right. Take your shoes off on a plane. I do now.

You know what I do? I go, enjoy yourself, Rick. I don't like taking my shoes off on a plane because then I'm putting those socks back in the shoe. So what I used to do is if I needed to take my shoes off, I would then rest my heel in the hole of the shoe. Okay. So my sock wouldn't touch the ground

and I've started letting my sock touch the ground. But when I come home, I'll take the sock off when I walk in. Well, by that logic, wouldn't the sock get dirty from the outside of the shoe? No, because the sock is in the inside. So my heel goes where the heel is. Gotcha. And then the top of my shoe,

the top of my sock is touching the outside top of the shoe, which isn't the best, but that was okay for me. You know, we make them up. Of course. We make up our rules. 100%. And that one was okay. But now I'll put it down.

But also it depends where you're at. You ever take a shower in a hotel and do you put your feet on the shower or do you go heel and toe? I'm all in. Wait, heel and toe on the, in the shoe? I used to not in a public shower. I know exactly where you're talking about.

Yeah, you would stay in your heel. I don't want the, I want as little of my foot touching that shower as possible. So you point your toes and prop the middle of your feet up. Yeah, like this. Here's your foot. Oh no. Like almost like tippy toe.

That's not a tippy toe and back toe. Yeah. Yeah. Like a trotter, like a horse. But then sometimes you're like, I'm fucking going to touch, I'm just standing in it. Sometimes I'll be standing in it and not realize it.

And then I'll be like, Oh, I feel like the best way to explain it is like, you're both meat eaters. Are you totally fine with it? Or have you ever considered not eating meat sometimes? I'm fine with it. So I'm in the middle and I just sometimes don't want to. One, because I follow a lot of animals and I,

I love animals and I think I, I mean, I just, it doesn't make sense. And also sometimes it just grosses me out. Sure. But I'll be sometimes eating meat. And then all of a sudden I'll be like, What the fuck am I doing? Yeah.

It gets in your head sometimes. Yeah. So that'll be like that in the shower sometimes. I'll be like, Oh, and then I'm washing my foot feet again. Do you sleep with your socks on? I probably have fallen asleep with my socks on, but no. How often do you wash in the sheets in the room? Surprisingly not often enough,

but I don't do outside clothes in my bed. Me too. I don't get in my bed dirty. Okay. But I go oftentimes a month before washing. Do you shower before you go to bed every night? If I did something that day, but I probably shower four times a week.

Okay. I don't shower every day. I also don't leave my house so often. Okay. If I go someplace that is dirty to me, whatever that might be, if I'm at a restaurant that feels dirty, if I go to a gym or I do anything where I'm sweating,

physical therapy, if I'm laying on a bench or something, I'll shower. Okay. All right. If you're eating, if you're having a big dinner or like a fancy dinner. Then I'll shower, yes. Will you go the whole day without eating

or eat less in anticipation of the big meal? Game time. It depends how you feel. I mean, my pooping situation at the moment is nothing to write home about. So I would have to consider that. Like this morning, I've been limiting my gluten, but like I'm on vacation and I want to have some stuff

and I wanted to get a Belgian waffle this morning, but I'm like, I'm going to want a pastrami sandwich tonight. And I parented myself someone. I'm like, Rick, pick one of them. Okay. So I decided to get the pastrami sandwich. So I didn't have the waffle today, but that's more about like the way I feel.

My joints kind of swell up when I have gluten. In a random way, that answers this question. A trashy thing would be if they were, if somebody was going out to a big meal, they wouldn't eat all day. I'm not eating all day. I can't wait to get there. I want to be starving.

Is that trashy? Yes. What? Yes, very. Yes. You're parenting yourself, which is very classy. We got to wrap up here, but in a one or two left. Anyone in your family have a standalone hot tub? Just a hot tub in the backyard.

No, however, my parents' shower does have jets in it. The jacuzzi. Pretty nice. Parents do well. Well, when we were using the restaurant, Biz, he was upper middle class. Then we moved our way down to middle. OK.

Fucking gross. You got the jets in the shower, though. Yeah, we got the Montecues in the bath. I got that reference. The West Side Story. OK. Fair enough. What's the Mayo situation?

Well, West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet. Yeah. What's the difference, right? Yeah, I never thought about that. Really? New York City. That's the difference. What's the Mayo situation?

Not going to do it, although every now and then in a tuna fish sandwich, sure. But I recently discovered I haven't done it, but somebody told me about instead of using Mayo, try making tuna fish with hummus into trying that. Oh. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. No.

In fact, a good idea. That tickles my face a little bit. Anybody in your family ever claimed to have seen a UFO? No. That leads to trash? It's not the classiest people are claiming that. You know what I mean? Have you ever had a subscription to Maxim's magazines?

Yeah, and stuff. Whoa. Thank you for an FHM kind of guy. You and your acronyms. I still have them at home. I still have all the Maxim's at home because I used to. I never read them. I just loved the covers.

So you would look at them. Almost like trading cards or comics or something. It's just like, wow, this is beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, it was good times. I just talked about this on a podcast, but my mom had, whatever, I'm not going to get into it. It's about masturbating and an elimination machine.

Yeah, I will say that for episode two. All right. Listen, this is what I think. And I'm just shooting from the hip here. I think you've never solved a Rubik's cube. Yeah, you're not going to get the cube. You got close and then you went off the rail. Yeah.

I haven't done it and I've never done it. Could you? You've never? No, I haven't done it in a very long time. I used to do it all the time. I was able to go up. I give it. Let me play with it for a day.

I'll be good. But I used to be able to do it like. A day? Oh, I thought you were asking Zara that for a day. No, I'm saying like, if I play with this for a day, I bet you once it's off, maybe if I could concentrate. But I used to be able to do it under a minute. I was like, I thought, I haven't done it in a while,

but I wanted to try. That's pretty cool. I used to, they used to frustrate the shit out of me. They're insolvable to me. I would never be able to do it. I'm going to say this. I don't know how what you guys are thinking. This is like I said, I'm sure.

Yeah, he's classy. Yeah, it's class. He's class. Thank you. I mean, he's got moldy. I asked him what kind of water he would give me. He said, what temperature do you want? He took a temp on the water.

Like he's a Michelin Star chef over here. It's all class, baby. Come on, you fucking. You're not going to get it. You know, it's that kind of attitude that really needs to go pee. Not going to win any Saturday games with that kind of attitude.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, what an exciting, interesting episode with Mr. Rick Glassman. Anything you want the folks out there to know that you have coming up? Plug it away. Plug your pod, and he dates, and he anything. He's got a Rubik's Cube tournament next week.

Boy, my arms tired. He's going to lose for sure. Oh my god. You're getting there. No, you're not. You're getting fucking further away. It's like me trying to take my wife's bra off. I can't say that anymore.

Go ahead. Focus for a solid two minutes. You want to do it? Go ahead. How are you? I'm great. Yeah, I have to. I don't know.

The last time I thought you loved me, then I thought you hated me. Is any of that for real? A little bit, yeah. I concur. No, no, no, no, tell me, tell me, tell me. I like, let me put this down. This is deleted, see?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, because of what? What made you think that? I'm here playing. I thought we're laughing and having a great time. No, 100% of the time, we're laughing. No, 100% yes. Rick, of course. What happened?

Spent the whole time? Tell me what that is, because I love you guys. I'm having such a good time. I'm having such a good time with you, for real. I thought I pissed you off once or twice. That's all. Just when you guys went OK when I said Kent, but other than that.

No, not at all. I'm having such a great time with you guys. I also felt really nice because I thought maybe I was being a little boring, just telling you some stories. What are you crazy? That was fucking gripping. No, of course.

And to our point, I think, one, like I said, we don't know you very well. So it's like, when you come in, we turn the thing all worked. We have to learn you, learn your rhythm, learn your speed, your story. Yeah, so it's just, we're just figuring you out. I mean, we've only been, we've only, I've only known you for like an hour and eight minutes.

I love you. Yeah, you're fantastic. That's why I said it, because I want you to love me. I really do. I really, like, I, this was, this is great. This was fantastic. I know, I had a fucking blood. Fantastic.

Yeah, it was great. Fantastic. Well, that's Ed Rick, I love you. Catch me at the funny hut. The appreciation of an arc of completion of a dismount is actually quite disappointing. I'm disappointed that I can't do this. We get that.

I get that. But I also want to say. So we got to him dunking right now. I'll send you some clothes. I'll send you some clothes. Just fucking. I'll be all right. But I also got to say, because it's a lot of,

I don't want to say pressure because I don't feel it, but there is a lot of expectation on me from my audience that everybody in the industry thinks I'm perfect. And I just want to, this is just nice to let people know. Look, even Rick sometimes can't. He's a human. Yeah. Yeah.

You're like us. No, no, no. He's got fresh pasta. What are you talking about? No, but all jokes aside, I got to say that. And I was under the cards. Is this your card? No, we have a good time.

All right. If you guys watched the last eight minutes of this first, you probably won't watch the episode. If you're like me and fast forward to the end, then watch from the middle through. But thank you guys for having me. Buddy. Whenever I'm back here with my equipment

and or you guys are in LA. Of course. I would love to make you some recommendations of restaurants. You'll come on. And so there's no confusion. I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. We love you.

It's really nice. Thank you. Oh, of course. We love you. Kippy, what do you got for him? Guys, we just had another Philly show. First one sold out. Get those tickets.

Boston's going to sell out. Providence is going to sell out. Seattle's sold out. Portland, I think, is going to sell out. Get those fucking tickets now. Come see us, gang. This was a wild one. Rick, you're awesome, man.

Let's end it the way we always do. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three. Maybe lock them doors and turn the lights down low. Fade to black rings. Keep the music on the soft and slow. We'll see you next week. Is that from the hardball soundtrack?
