Look at my properties.
What is that, a Star Wars set?
1-6 scale, just like the Millennium Falcon right there.
Star Wars set.
Is that Tatooine?
Wow, where'd you buy that?
That is Tatooine.
Where did you get that?
A gentleman online.
I'm gonna say his name correctly.
Why, he doesn't need a shout out.
No one's gonna buy a one sixth scale Tatooine set but you.
So is your face.
But his name is Legacy Arts Custom Dioramas.
What a beautiful name.
Legacy Arts Custom Dioramas.
So Mr. Legacy Arts Custom Dioramas made those for you
or you saw them and said I need those?
I saw them and I was like, I need that.
And he was like, I've got you.
Don't worry about it.
How long did it take for him to make them?
It took him a while.
But you know what I think he did?
I think he just gave me his old one.
I'm just joking.
But I think he gave me like he gave me an old one. I'm just joking. But I think he gave me, like he gave me an old prop,
which is really dope.
He gave me, look, there's a bunch of things.
Are you running out of room in that animation studio?
I have zero room left.
I feel like little by little,
there's no room for you to animate.
You got ceiling space left.
I can still animate. Boxes and stuff.
I know, but are you gonna maybe expand
into the garage more?
I'm gonna have to, because look, wait, let me just make sure there ain't nothing unseeable. boxes and stuff. I know, but are you gonna maybe expand into the garage more?
I'm gonna have to because look, wait,
let me just make sure there ain't nothing unseeable
because look at this shit.
Wow.
Wow. Oh my God.
Oh, that's the crane, Jesus.
Oh, I just showed my bong.
Yeah, I think you might need to-
I showed my bong.
Oh no.
It's all right, I think everyone knows.
Everyone knows.
Blur it out, blur it out, Daniel, blur it out.
Everybody, there's not a single person who's ever heard this.
Daniel, blur out the bong.
That'd be funny if you blur out the bong.
Listen, Donald, does Casey know that you're going to start expanding into the garage?
I've already started expanding into the garage, Zach.
Yeah. Do you want to have our shared contractor, Bill, maybe take down that wall?
I think that my,
I think he needs to take down this wall
and build another wall one step away.
Well, why don't you just take over the whole garage?
Who cares? It's your studio.
Well, there's a, you know what?
That would be great if I could,
because there is a washer and dryer
that I wanna get removed and put inside the house.
And I know Casey wants to do that too. Yeah, there you go.
So this is how you frame it.
Honey, I really wanna do what you want
with putting the washer and dryer in the house.
And in doing so, I'm gonna move this wall.
Right, and everything in here is now my space.
For you, babe.
Right, but everything in here is now my space.
Well, you don't have to say that.
I wouldn't say it like that. I would say, for you, babe, I, but everything in here is now my space, so. Well, you don't have to say that. I wouldn't say it like that.
I would say, for you, babe,
I'm gonna move the washer dryer.
And then just, just cause I never liked this wall,
I'm gonna move it.
Ha ha ha ha.
Even though I'm the one that put the wall up.
Oh, you put the wall up?
Yeah.
Oh, well you need to get rid of it.
I'm happy though, you're living your dream.
I'm living my dream.
Look, people buy cars.
People buy fucking-
You don't have to justify your hobby, bro.
I buy Star Wars memorabilia
and stop motion stuff in anime.
Listen,
If it makes you happy.
But then why are you so sad?
Don't feel that bad if it makes you happy.
Yeah, I mean, there's people,
everyone has hobbies that they love doing.
This thing is your favorite thing in the world.
I don't think you should have any justification for it.
Why are you so sad?
Daniel loves to play video games.
He got me.
But he can justify it.
Of course.
But you don't stream anymore.
You just play.
He plays for himself now, not for anyone else.
Joelle, do you still play video games?
Oh yeah, all the time.
I love video games.
I'm on a big Sims 4 kick right now.
It's delightful.
Oh, go off.
I can build in houses.
Wait, why Sims? is Sims 4 the latest?
Sims 4 is the latest.
They just announced the 10 year anniversary
and they just announced they will not be releasing
a Sims 5, which I find very interesting.
They're going to expand on the current game.
Wait, Sims has been around way,
Sims has been around way longer than four,
10 years though.
This is the anniversary of Sims 4.
The 10 year anniversary of Sims 4.
The specific game has been out for 10 years.
Yes, yes.
Is it still like the classic Sims?
I mean, like, I mean, I used to play the, like old school.
It can still win.
When we lived in that apartment together
in New York City, we would play Sims.
Really?
I figured out really that the best way to crush fast
was just save enough money for a hot tub.
And then I would put the hot tub in the living room
and it solved a lot of your problems
because your friends would come over.
But you could bathe.
You could bathe, you would get rest.
You could meet men, you know,
you could meet friends and girlfriends.
And robbers couldn't steal it, it was too big.
Yeah, no, it was pretty convenient.
They just brought back a classic.
Yeah, I recommend if you're a Sims player,
just put a hot tub in the house.
I just put it in the living room.
Right, but you needed a TV.
You know what sucked about the Sims
is that you needed a food processor.
Why?
Because you couldn't cook it without the food processor.
You needed to freaking clean that thing up fast.
Making me want to play Sims.
I'm a little nervous, Joelle.
I feel like if I go down a Sims wormhole,
I will never get anything done.
I have to be honest.
I have to be like, you have to stop playing Sims on the weekend.
This is our viewing at hour four. You've built this house and there's just no time to do that.
That's why I'm worried. I distract myself. I want a productive hobby like learning the piano.
Or Donald's learning animation. I feel like with The Sims, I would just sit there for hours being like another hot tub in another room.
The satisfaction is worth it.
The ease. Oh, man, if I'm tense and I'm like really under a lot of pressure,
I'm like, let me go build my dream house.
And by the end of it, you just feel accomplished.
You haven't done anything really, but you feel accomplished.
You're like, look how immaculate my home is. Amazing.
That's why I plan.
Yeah, that's nice.
I mean, I miss being into a good video game.
I used to be a spokesperson for the Sims back in the day.
Really? Really?
Yeah, I did a whole commercial and everything.
That's fun.
Yeah.
I wanted to mention everyone I did.
Johnny C. McGinley, our friend and Dr. Cox
has a podcast called Connective Tissue
where he talks just about like the creative folks
and how they work, whether it's an actor, writer, director,
artist, painter, whatever.
And he's got some really interesting guests so far.
And he asked me to be on it.
I did it.
So if you want to hear me and Johnny
shoot the shit about being actors,
it's called Connective Tissue.
And you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up with the drumsticks, bro?
Well, I have a drum set here.
I have a basic drum set.
And on my to-do list was to take some drum lessons.
And I went to rock, you know, they have school of rock here
and you know, it's for kids,
but the kids during the day, they're in school.
So I had up the manager and I was like,
hey, can I come take drum lessons at School of Rock
when the kids are in school?
Cause like my place must be empty.
And he's like, of course, bro.
And so I went there, I've had a handful of lessons
and he's just fucking teaching me drums at School of Rock
and we're the only people in there.
Are you getting good?
I got a few beats, but I would like to get better.
Okay.
I like that.
When I get good, I'll do a performance for you and the podcast.
That sounds great.
I mean, it doesn't, but okay.
Wow.
Why, John?
Why is it your hater?
Huh?
Why is it your hater?
I just know what beginner drummers sound like when they just start.
And I have a feeling it's gotta be-
No, you mean you know a few of the drums.
You know I know a few beats.
I'm just trying to get more beats.
You do know a few beats.
You do know a few beats.
That's true.
Yo, so what have you been up to, bro?
What have you been doing?
Me?
I've been getting in shape.
I really, I went to, it was in Stockholm and I was in Paris and I was in New York and
I was eating wonderful food
and drinking lots of red wine.
And now I'm in LA doing what people do in LA
and dropping the weight and getting in shape.
I took a tennis lesson, I'm doing hot yoga.
I got back with my trainer.
I stopped eating like a dickhead
and the weight's falling off of me.
High yoga is so good, man. I recommend it to anybody.
If you're an anxious person whose mind is very busy
and you want to drop some weight, it kills two birds with one stone.
And you don't mind being uncomfortable?
Well, it's uncomfortable, but it feels so good.
You go in there and it's fucking hot as hell and you stretch and you do yoga.
It's not very hard yoga where I go.
It's just the basics.
And then you come out of there and you feel so high.
It's just such a natural.
Are you doing it in a valley spot
or are you going someplace in Beverly Hills?
No, I go in WeHo, but it's really amazing.
It's like going during the morning. There's not a lot of people there. And I recommend's really amazing. It's like I go during the morning,
there's not a lot of people there.
And I recommend it to people.
If you've never done yoga before,
maybe go do just a basic yoga class
that isn't in the heat so you get like the basic moves.
Nothing I'm doing is advanced, it's just basic shit.
And then go do hot yoga and you sweat,
you lose like a couple pounds of sweat.
But when you come out,
not only have you stretched your whole body and quiet in your mind, you just you feel extraordinary
I really highly recommend it. I
Gotta tell you man, and this is you ever come to that with me. No, I do not like hot yoga at all
All right, I'm you try it. I have I did it with a next girlfriend once and we are that's why we broke up
The thing is well, um, yeah yeah, I am very judgmental.
There's the counterpoint, everyone.
There's a counterpoint.
Yeah, anyway, so the thing that I do like about working out,
I hate working out now,
but what feels so good is the feeling after.
You've just completed working out.
That's what you work out for. You know they say find the silver linings and stuff like that. I hate completed working out. That's what you work out for.
You know, they say find the silver linings
and stuff like that.
I hate fucking working out now.
I used to love it.
Now I hate it.
You know what I love now?
That euphoria feeling after.
Oh, you can't beat that with a baseball bat.
That five minutes six.
No, no matter what you do, like,
no, it's longer than five minutes.
Come on, you feel good for a couple hours.
Yeah, but then, yeah, but life comes back into play.
You know, you have that five minutes of, ah, ah, where you're trying to rest.
And then, you know, your worries come back eventually.
But that one, that little bit of time where you're just like focused on the fact that
you're tired and that you worked hard and that you finished it and that your body's pulsating, that is so much more
rewarding now to me than actually working out.
I enjoy certain workouts.
I enjoy playing tennis.
I enjoy yoga.
I enjoy going on a hike, listening to a book on tape or a podcast.
I like that. I'm trying to enjoy feeling uncomfortable again, and that's very hard
You know what I mean? Like I used to really enjoy the feeling of being uncomfortable when I worked out. I like that
I think I'm alive. Ah ha ha and I'm having a hard time doing that now now. It's like fuck man
I'm so uncomfortable. It's so sweaty. What about boxing used to like boxing a lot. That's how I'm getting back in shape.
Well, OK, I got a guy that comes over here.
We go up on the deck. How many times a week you boxing?
Three times a week. Well, that's good.
And then I'll hike or I'll ride my peloton or something like that.
You know, I got to tell you, I do and I do like the art of boxing now.
Before, it was just swinging and trying to I'm gonna fuck somebody up one day.
I'm gonna use this to fuck somebody up.
Now it's about trying to position my body properly
so that everything is a flow.
So it's, you know,
Bruce Lee has that documentary, Be Like Water.
If you can move your body and your feet properly,
everything flows from the core and it's so much more powerful.
And I do enjoy that about boxing.
More importantly, are you going to come to Vegas with me?
I want to go to Vegas really bad.
Oh, great.
Here's the thing.
I'm trying to put a...
Joelle and Danil, I tried to put a little Vegas...
One Night in Vegas trip together for Donald and some friends.
And he and Casey are ruminating about saying yes,
which is a big step.
Ooh.
Wow.
Here's the thing that I worry about.
The next day, the very next day,
I have my special effects guys coming over
and we're supposed to do a bunch of stuff
with the motion control rigs.
So if you can promise me that we can go to,
and this has been scheduled for a while,
we'll go and then be back the next day.
Cause I got, this is important to me.
Of course we'll be back the next day.
No one likes a second night in Vegas.
I'm not built for it anymore, bro.
As Bill Lawrence once said,
I've never had a good second night in Vegas.
My new thing is I like to go have an amazing meal,
like epic, amazing meal,
and then play some blackjack with my friends,
maybe see a show.
What show would you wanna see?
I don't know, something Cirque?
You wanna see a do, you wanna see a sur-lay?
I don't know, I prefer to- A do sur-lay? A do sur-lay? I don't know. I prefer to...
A do sur-lay. A do sur-lay.
My favorite thing is to see Magic, but, um,
I've seen a lot of the Magic shows,
and David Blaine, who I wanna see, isn't doing it.
Have you seen Magic Mike yet?
No, I don't wanna see that one, Joel.
You know who's there the night we're going?
It's a really great show.
You think Donald and I are gonna go see Magic Mike?
Come on.
I mean, if we could be hidden from show. I'm sure it is. Do you think Donald and I are gonna go see Magic Mike? Come on. I mean, if we could be hidden somehow.
Donald, do you want to, you know who's gonna be there?
Is Sharon Tatum gonna be there?
No, but you know who's gonna be there playing
the night we're gonna be there?
Who?
Lionel Richie.
Fuck yeah, let's go.
Say you, say me.
Say it together.
Say it for always. Oh, it together, say it for always.
Oh, that's the way it should be.
I wonder if during the show when he sings hello,
if they showed the video of him with the blind sculptor.
This is how I see you.
I tried to buy Donald the statue, but he didn't want it. No, thank you.
No, thank you.
There's a guy, there's a guy online who makes them.
That's I can see it in your eye.
He said no, I'm going to get that for you guys.
That's going to be your holiday present.
Jowell and Daniel.
Donald's already said he doesn't want one.
Well, you don't want to allow Richie from Hello Music Video.
Hello to one. It's purely about space at this point. Exactly. I put it. Joelle, you don't want a Lyle Richie from Hello Music Videos, does you? Wait a second.
Is Hello the one-
It's not about what?
It's purely about space at this point.
Exactly.
Is Hello the one where he goes,
I could see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your smile.
Donald, we could see Lyle Richie.
We could see Magic.
We could see Cirque du Soleil.
I love a good Vegas show. I really want to see that could see Cirque du Soleil. I love a good Vegas
show. I really want to see that Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil. I'm not gonna lie. I've seen a
lot of them. There's a lot of good Magic shows, but I've seen, we could go see Penn and Teller.
I do like Penn and Teller. You know what? The last time I saw Penn and Teller, I was a kid.
I would love to go see them. Yeah, man. I would love to go see them. Yeah man, I would love to go see them. Okay, we could do that.
The Eagles are at the Sphere. Eagles! Eagles! But I don't think we've ever been to the Sphere.
You've never been to the Sphere? It's fun. No. I don't think we want to see the Eagles.
Why not? What's wrong with the Eagles? The Eagles are great. I just don't know that if I have one
night in Vegas, I want to go to an Eagles concert.
You don't want to see Hotel California live?
Well, you got to see the Sphere, dude,
with some of your favorite.
When that shit come on.
You would love it.
But you can't smoke in the Sphere.
They say you can't smoke with the Sphere.
No, you definitely can't smoke in the Sphere,
but you can smoke outside the Sphere.
Smoke outside the Sphere.
Take it.
Who wants this?
Exactly.
You can just vape in the Sphere. Who's going to snitch who's gonna snitch it's gonna be 20 you can't

Get the fuck out.
Oh my God, I hate getting in trouble.
It would be awful.
I'd be like, oh no.
Yeah, I hate getting in trouble.
I told you the story about how I got arrested
and put in New Jersey Devil's jail.
For being drunk at the New Jersey Devil's jail?
For being wasted as a child.
Yeah. I told that story in the pocket.
Yeah.
They put me in the, they put me in the slammer, the New Jersey devil's slammer.
I started crying.
Oh my God.
I had never been in jail before.
My first jail was New Jersey devil's jail.
It was horrible. Yeah, It was a good starter jail. It was horrible.
Yeah, it was a good starter jail.
Oh, my mom had to come pick me up.
It was so embarrassing.
Well, she was like, don't say a word.
Absolutely.
And you gotta understand, I was a good kid.
I was a good kid.
I did not get in trouble.
And my mom got a call on like a fucking week weekend day.
It like, whatever four o'clock like, hello ma'am.
It was a noon game.
Whatever it was.
It was afternoon game on the weekends.
And my mom got a call like,
hi, your son is shit faced at Brendan burnerina.
We have him in New Jersey Devil's jail.
You need to come get his ass.
And my mom, I never saw her so mad, but she definitely did the,
she didn't say a word.
The whole ride home from Brendan Burn Arena.
Then she brought Tom the Raph at home.
Sheesh.
She had to come sign me out of fucking New Jersey Devil's Jail.
Oh man.
The jail's right next to the Sam Boney.
That's the fuck's up shit.
It was so embarrassing.
Oh my God.
You do not want to be signed out of New Jersey Devil's Jail by your mom.
It's funny.
Mind you, mind you, mind you, not only was I crying,
but I was still fucking hammered.
Oh, right?
Oh my God.
I didn't know.
You didn't have a drunk head?
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
They made me do it.
What was your drink of choice that night?
Oh, I'm sure it was beer.
We would just like,
we couldn't get beers in the stadium.
So we would be in the car, like huddled up in an SUV,
just pounding like the cheapest beer, Meisterbrau,
or whatever the cheapest beer was.
And then we'd be hammered and then we'd stumble
into the like the boonies,
like the last fucking row in Brendan Burnerina,
whatever it's called these days, I don't know.
And then I went, I remember I went to go get a snack.
I was like, I need a snack.
And then I remember out of a movie,
I stumbled and my wallet dropped
and I went to go down and get my wallet.
And then I saw two sets of boots.
Okay.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Hey.
I saw two sets of boots And the camera, the camera slowly tilted up to reveal Brandon Burner,
and security.
And they're like, you're coming with us.
You're drunk.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
Come on, fellas.
Goodness.
No.
I said, come on, fellas.
Oh, no.
Fellas?
That's too good.
I love it.
I love it.
Our drink at Trace was like Everclear and Four Loko.
Oh my God.
It was a disaster.
You guys went hardcore.
I know.
Everclear was cheap and Four Loko was easy to get over.
We used to get 40s too.
We would just drink whatever we could get our hands on.
Wow.
I remember when I was drinking underage
with my buddy, Frederico from the neighborhood
and we would be out late.
I don't think I was underage, but I wasn't,
I wasn't, I was out of high school, but I wasn't 21 yet.
And we would drink this thing called Cisco.
You ever heard of Cisco?
No.
No.
Right, so Cisco was like this, it was like this,
it was liquor, but it was like,
and it wasn't a malt liquor,
and it came in flavors and stuff like that.
And later on we found out it had like lighter fluid in it
and shit like that.
Oh my God.
But we would get wasted off of this shit.
Cisco.
Cisco, the word, the nasty, look it up, Cisco. I think it's even spelled like the fucking
singer. What was Cisco the singer's hit song? Thong song. Oh, the thong song. Yeah, that was
a masterpiece. Well, he liked it when the beat go. Why did he love thongs so much? Because it make
the booty go, ba-dum, ba-dum. That guy really loves thongs. Well, when it make the booty go ba dum ba dum. That guy really loves thongs.
When it make the booty go da da da da. What's the lyric? Thong da thong thong thong.
Everybody loves a thong. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What thong
song are you? As I remembered, it's like thongong, thong, thong, thong, everybody loves a thong.
That's the one.
That's like the child.
No, you're right there.
That's it.
What's the next lyric?
Do you know the next lyric?
What happens after that?
What happens after that?
Don't wear no booty shorts.
You gotta give me a thong.
All I love is a thong, a thong, thong, thong, thong.
Get it up in that crack.
Thong, thong, thong, thong.
Yeah, that's it.
That's the one.
What is the real lyric?
That's it.
What is the real one?
It goes, I like it when the booty go da-da, da-da.
Baby, make the booty go da-da, da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
I'm going to pull it out first.
Da-thong, thong, thong, thong.
Where's that da-da da da da coming from?
I don't think that's the lyrics either.
I think he's singing the musical part.
That's where he goes, I like it when the booty goes da da da da.
Baby make the booty go da da da da.
Whatever he says, da da da da da.
Here we go.
Let me see that song.
Let me see that song.
Baby, I'm so that before.
That's deep in the background.
Wow.
He loves thongs.
That guy.
That's crazy.
How many times did you listen to this song?
I was going to say damn.
I've never sung that part before.
Amazing.
Yo.
We should make a musical based on the thong song. I would have sung that part before. Amazing. Yo, when that song came out.
They should make a musical based on that thong song.
When that song came out, I didn't even like Cisco, but I loved that song for some reason.
Do you love thongs?
I mean, they're all right, but that song for some reason. Cause I was laughing, you would laugh so hard at
those thighs, those feet, those man, those knees.
He's singing hardcore.
Tell me.
If I was a woman.
That thong, thong, thong, thong.
If I was a woman.
Tell me.
You're yelling bro, you're yelling, you're yelling.
I'm gonna have to turn this down so much.
You're gonna have to turn that way down.
I like the way you do your thing.
Tell me.
All right, come on, you're yelling.
You're yelling.
That's Cisco.
I know, that's too much.
Joelle knows exactly what the fuck I'm talking about.
And that's why she kissed him.
This is beautiful rendition, Donald, and I respect it.
You're saying that he's very passionate about thongs.
I agree, he loves thongs.
He loves the shit out of some thongs.
I don't understand why women wear a thong.
It feels like it would really annoy your inner crack.
Maybe it's more freeing.
I mean, yes.
It's not.
Is it just so that, Joelle,
that you don't see lines on the outfit?
Many women are just like,
hey, I don't like a panty line.
Some are like, it's sexy.
Right.
You know, lots of reason people wear thongs.
Let me ask you a question, Zach.
Yes.
If you are with a young lady.
Yes.
And she takes off her clothes.
Yes.
And she has a thong on or she has, you know,
regular underwear on. Right, well, there's many different other types, but yes, a different type than the thong on or she has, you know, regular underwear on.
Right. Well, there's many different other types, but yes,
a different type than the thong. Yes. Right.
Asking yourself right now,
which would you graduate a grad with Tate to truthfully?
Um, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, let me think.
I think there's other types of underwear. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, underwear that I would prefer to a thought. But none of them make the booty go da-da-da-da. That's true.
None of them make the booty go da-da-da-da.
Do we have?
Rick is here.
Alright, let this fucking die.
5, 6, 7, 8! About a bunch of docs and nurses and a Canada who love and hate.
I said, here's the stories that we all should know.
So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our, Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Dono.
Let's get right to it. Rick Glassman, did you actually play basketball with LeBron James growing up?
No.
Did you play with Kyrie Irving growing up?
No.
How did you get so good at basketball?
Because you are good at basketball, are you not?
Yeah.
So first, yes, I played with LeBron.
We like to dive right in here.
So there we go.
But, but.
So you're lying.
So you did play with LeBron.
Were you better than LeBron?
I mean, probably when I was born,
cause I'm a year older than him.
Wait, tell us the playing LeBron story.
Yeah. The reason I said no was because I,
I've mentioned I played against LeBron cause it's cool.
And I've talked about it sometimes,
but now like other people talk about it and people will come
up to me and like, if I'm in a group and they'll be like,
Oh, is Rick bragging about how he played against LeBron? I'm like, other people are talking about it and people will come up to me and like if I'm in a group and they'll be like oh is Rick bragging about how he played against
LeBron? I'm like other people are talking about it.
Well our audience hasn't heard the story likely Rick. Oh they follow me Zach.
No they might, some of them do. I'm sure some of them do who like funny comedians. Rick is a very, if you don't know who Rick is, he's a very funny comedian and he's a very funny actor.
Are you reading this? Yeah I'm reading this. a very funny comedian and he's a very funny actor. And he's a great nice man.
Are you reading this?
Yeah, I'm reading this.
It just says, is a very funny comedian,
is a very good actor.
No, this is all improv.
And then Rick also has a very popular podcast called,
Take Your Shoes Off.
What is it called?
That's it.
Yeah.
And as a fascinating story and a big connection
to Bill Lawrence.
But I just want to start where Donald started
because I was surprised to know
that you are very good at basketball.
It doesn't seem, you don't strike me as someone-
Why?
Because his last name is Glassman?
Well, I'm going to say, we Jewish folk,
there's always been a stereotype
that we're not necessarily great at sports.
If you remember the joke in the movie Airplane,
he says, would you like some,
the stewardess says, would you like some, the stewardess says,
would you like some light reading?
How about this pamphlet on famous Jews and sports?
But Rick defies the stereotype because Rick is apparently
very good at basketball. Go ahead, Rick.
Is there a question?
When did you get good at basketball?
And are you still play and did you play LeBron?
Go ahead.
You got it.
I'll take it from here, boys.
So I started playing basketball in high school because I ended up having to go to like this
special school for troubled boys or girls.
And I was really embarrassed about it.
And when I came back, I came back to school,
I was gone for eighth grade and a half a ninth grade.
And in our school, eighth grade is where high school started.
And I was really embarrassed.
And when I came back for half days,
somebody, shout out to Tim Gilmore, by the way,
asked if I play basketball.
And I said, yes, just because I wanted
to be included in something.
So I just started playing with people. And it was kind of my only social network. I played Magic the Gathering on Friday
nights and then I didn't really have a social network outside of those random people at this
card store. Basketball kind of gave me that. So I really kind of obsessed over it. At the time,
I didn't realize it, but I think what I obsessed over was being included. And then I just kept playing because I'm allowed to play with people.
And then I just kind of got addicted to it.
And I didn't play much in high school.
And then college, kind of my sophomore year, I got relative to my ceiling really good.
And I just started playing all the time.
And it was really cool because like I would go to the gym and people would like get me first like we
got Glassman. Still does something to me. I was never picked like kickball in
like elementary school always picked last or second to last. Why you think
that is? Because I wasn't good at sports and even if I was making them laugh they were like,
Yeah, he's gonna make us laugh, but that's fine. We'll pick him last because he's gonna be here making us laugh either way
Whatever team he's on. He's not gonna kick the ball very far.
Well Zach, give me one sec.
I gotta be honest with you guys. I would be upset if I got picked third. I'd be pissed off.
I was just gonna ask, I heard you're a good kickball player.
I am fucking phenomenal.
I bet you Donald's great at kickball.
I threw my fucking back out playing kickball
with my kids about two years ago
and I have retired from kickball.
I bet you were really good at dodgeball too, Donald.
I am pretty good at dodgeball as well.
Yes, I can dodge a ball.
I would get pegged in the face in dodgeball.
Not me, I had moves.
Rick, when did you realize that you had the ability
to make people laugh?
Because we are similar in a few ways
and we both have OCD and realized it as a child.
And I wondered, did you at a certain point go,
this helps me when I can make my classmates laugh because that
helps me make friends.
It's a good question, Zach.
But before we get into that, why are you always leaning so much into how bad you are at stuff?
I'm not.
I have a neuroses about wishing I was better at sports,
but I have nothing other than that.
What else am I better at?
Well, sports, what about movie making?
Are you good at that?
Yeah, I'm decent at that.
Why?
I just, but I don't like the way
you've been talking about yourself.
I was on your podcast.
Yeah, you were.
I was on your podcast.
Yeah.
It was a great episode.
Yeah, it was. It was. I think a great episode. Yeah, yeah, it was.
It was. I think you're really great.
I think you'd be really good at dodgeball.
Now, I got into making people laugh.
Zach, I think you're really special.
You're also so much nicer to me on your podcast than mine.
Wait a second. What happened?
What happened when he was on your podcast?
Just cut to a clip of him just beating the shit out of me.
We had a lot of fun, but he's exhausting and we'll get to that.
See, there it is.
There it is.
I love Rick. I didn't know certain things about Rick that we'll get to,
but I loved him always, but he would drive me fucking nuts.
And then we had a really in-depth heart-to-heart on his podcast
about me realizing why I love him so much
and why he's so funny.
But we'll get to that.
Okay.
One of my first...
What?
Wait, can you answer my question, please?
He did already, didn't he?
No, he didn't.
I asked him a very good question as a podcaster
about when he realized he had a sense of humor that was funny.
Drink, go.
You know, I was just a boy in school
who would get a little silly sometimes.
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to say?
That my parents fucked me up or something?
I want to know when you started getting laughs.
When were you like, people think I'm funny.
Oh, I could answer this a little bit differently.
I never knew how a little bit differently.
I never knew how people felt about me
because things were kind of contradicting.
I wasn't really included as a kid.
That's why I brought the basketball thing.
But at the same time, I wasn't really overtly excluded.
I wasn't bullied, basically, until you came on my podcast.
I just wasn't really part of stuff.
And like sometimes even the neighborhood kids,
like I would go over and I would play outside of them
or something, but then they would go inside
and they would like close the door
and say, you're not allowed in.
And I never understood why.
And it was always like,
sometimes people were nice to me and sometimes they weren't.
And I don't, I'm looking at this as an adult now.
I don't think I realized it as a kid,
but like when,
when I would laugh and when people laugh,
that was something where I feel like you can't fake it. I still feel that way.
I still feel like, um, when people are laughing, you know, you know,
like, you know, when it's fake, uh, I talked about this with somebody,
I don't think it was on a podcast recently. I saw an old round table,
something with Sandler talking about like the hardest part of acting.
I think it was Sandler and he talking about like the hardest part of acting.
I think it was Sandler and he said something like, the hardest thing you could do in acting
is to fake laugh.
He said, you just can't do it.
There's something just genuine about laugh.
So I think I felt validated not just in making people laugh, but like, oh, here's me being
accepted even if it's just for like this five seconds.
I also have a very, very funny family.
You just, we complain, we, we call attention to
things. We're not easily shamed. So I think the combination of-
I think I met your mom when I was at your house for your podcast.
Was she with your mom? Oh yeah, she was. She's here now too.
Oh yeah. But she's watching her stories.
Oh, does she watch Soaps? She watches Castle and NCIS all the time. Oh, I thought you were going to say old school soap operas.
I mean, that's what they are now.
I know, but I wish it was General Hospital or something.
All my children was hers.
All my children.
All my children was hers.
And she just had a friend come over and drop off some clothes for something.
And she goes, Zach Braff and Donald the Scrubs guys are here. And she's like, oh, I wish I could
watch, but she can, she can watch on YouTube after this when this airs. Um, but Donald,
do you go ahead, Zach? No, no, Donald's turn. Donald said something. And then Zach, you got mad
at him. I forgot what I was going to say. We're both so excited that you're here. Um, you're a
very funny stand-up comedian. You know what? I forgot. I remember now. I that you're here. You're a very funny standing comedian. Oh, wait, you know what? I forgot I remember now.
I remember my first time,
well, it's not my first time meeting you,
but kind of like one of the first times
we were where we kind of hung out was on the set
when they did the Undateable Live.
Yes.
And what's his name?
Bill Lawrence.
No, not that guy.
That's I'll never forget his name.
Ed Sheeran. Yes, he was on the show. You forgot Ed Sheeran his name? Bill Lawrence. No, not that guy. I'll never forget his name. Ed Sheeran.
Yes, he was on the show.
You forgot Ed Sheeran's name?
That guy.
Yeah, the redhead kid.
The redhead kid.
I wanna give the audience some context for those who don't know.
Bill Lawrence made a sitcom called Undateable.
Well, Scrubs, and amongst his many shows,
he made a sitcom that ran two seasons, right, Rick?
Called Undateable.
Three seasons. And at a certain point, he made a sitcom that ran two seasons, right, Rick, called Undateable? Three seasons.
Three seasons.
And at a certain point, it became live.
Like they would air it live on the East and West Coast.
They would do two runs of it, one for the East, one for the West.
When did that happen?
Third season.
I think like nobody was, they weren't watching it enough.
So like, what if we do it live?
I don't know.
I think you guys did at the end of season two and it was an hour special with Ed Sheeran
and everybody. And I think that went well.
That finale, maybe it would have gotten canceled
if it weren't that going well.
And then they're like, let's just do the whole season live.
I had a lot of great comedians on it.
And how did you get the part?
Cause how did you get discovered to be on that?
It was like all standups, right?
First cast were standups.
And then there were a few non-standups. Bill had a,
Bill met with Brent some afternoon and I remember Brent and I- Brent Moran. Brent Moran. John
DeWalt, Alison Bosmo, who ended up writing on Undateable, Brent Moran and I, we all lived in
the same building and I was coincidentally watching Scrubs again. I loved the show. I grew up, I was
so young when it came out and I grew up watching it and I really loved it. I was aidentally watching Scrubs again. I loved the show. I grew up, I was so young when it came out
and I grew up watching it and I really loved it.
I was a little baby when it first came out.
Stop saying it.
And I grew up looking up to you guys.
And it's crazy to hear what I'm talking to.
Stop saying how young you were when you watched Scrubs.
It's just insane.
I remember, I remember it because I didn't have any friends
but I was three years old
and you guys were having a series finale.
And I remember it like, these guys aren't real doctors
but you could tell they're real friends.
And that's something
that really translated through the screen. So I was but also I
was I'm a big fan of the show.
You're so jealous.
Projecting. So I was watching the show again, and Brent came in
and is like, I have a meeting with the guy who did scrubs. And
as he said it, I press pause in the x-ray of Bill Lawrence came up on the screen.
I'm like, Bill Lawrence, that's crazy.
And then Brent invited him.
You guys were living together?
Same building, but it was very much like,
our doors are unlocked.
You just walk into each other's places.
He just opened the door and he's like, I have a cool,
you know, you moved to LA and it's like,
you want to have a meeting with people.
You know, like, oh, I met this person.
Who knows what that means?
But it's just like, cool. He has a meeting with the guy that did scrubs.
And then later that night, we all had a show at the improv and Bill came to it. And that's where
I met Bill and Bill met me and saw Brent do standup, et cetera. And I knew Bill was in a
basketball game. So I said, I don't know how this is going to happen, but I want to get in that game. And he gave me his assistant's email.
And I emailed her once a week for almost four months. And then she goes, we have,
we have two slots tonight for Brent and me. And then I got into that game.
And that was like that game. I didn't have agents. I didn't have any,
I hadn't done anything before. Hey dad, we real quick.
You want to see my dad's hair?
Yeah, please.
Absolutely.
I don't think you're going to be able to hear,
they're going to be able to hear you.
Look at that hair.
Hey guys.
Wow.
Hi, dad.
Big fan of both of you.
Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.
We're a huge fan of your son.
Wow. He does have a big full head of hair.
Yeah.
Zach said he wants, he's,
you have the little wiener he just said. No, I didn't say to have a little wiener, he just said.
No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that, Dad.
Wow. You're the worst.
You're the worst.
Well, it means you're going to have your hair for your whole life.
Your dad's got a big head of hair.
Maybe, we'll see. My dad's hairline is like a thumbnail.
All right. But let's see what we talk about.
We're talking about what made me funny.
We're talking about Bill Lawrence.
You finally got into the game. Basketball game.
Tell your dad to stop talking.
Yeah, dad, there's audio issues.
Could you just go in the other room with my mom?
Yeah, tell him to go work on Rushashana Dinner.
Zach said to go work on Rushashana Dinner,
and Donald said, what's Rushashana?
I did not say that.
You got into the game,
and how did you perform in the sports competition?
So in my mind, what makes me valuable still,
but definitely then, was being a good basketball player.
Whether or not people think I'm good or not,
that's when I started getting friends,
that's when I started feeling confident,
that's when people started, we got Glassman!
I'm like, I'm the fucking man.
So I needed to play hard.
And these guys were, you know,
some people are great basketball players
and some of people are 50 year old comedy writers.
And I just got, I took it very seriously.
And-
Were you trying to impress Bill, you think,
or is that just your natural way you play?
Well, I think it's a natural way I play,
but I think it's because I'm trying to be honest. I think, I don't know if impress is the right word, but I think it's a natural way I play, but I think it's because I'm trying to be honest.
I think I don't know if impress is the right word, but I think it's like I said, I want
to show that I'm valuable.
Like I could help people win like in pickup basketball.
If you lose, you sit.
You never want to sit forever.
Right.
So the only so you don't care.
I don't care who somebody is.
If we don't have to sit, we want them.
You know, so like I wasn't thinking who somebody is. If we don't have to sit, we want them. You know, so like, I wasn't thinking about anything else.
I remember I got in a fight with somebody
and then Brent called my attention that like,
Rick, you need to chill out.
But Bill said he liked it.
I found out later.
Also, I ended up getting kicked out of that game
five years later, another conversation.
Well, no, let's go into that conversation
because it proved to be very pivotal in your life.
You've shared this before with other places,
but I want our audience to hear.
Bill calling you and talking to you
became a sort of a pivotal moment in your life, right?
Yeah.
Can you share that a bit with people
who don't know the story?
Yeah, I'm in this game for a couple of years,
even then a date all comes out.
And so I'm probably in this game for six or so years before the show.
The show runs three seasons. The show's canceled.
We're still playing for a year or two. So I'm like part of this game now.
That's every week. And Bill sent me an email that said, Hey, handsome.
As he does. Yes.
But a bill email is not great to get because he doesn't send them off. And no, this was a, he opened it up with, Hey, handsome as he does. Yes, but a billy mills not great to get because he doesn't send them often
No, this was a he opened it up with hey handsome. This is a tough email to send
I remember that because I I ended up writing this short. I made this thing about it
Joel McHale plays bill and his script is the email from bill and it was a hey. Hey handsome
This is a tough email to send you could tell me to fuck off if you want.
But I think it might be worth you knowing that there's a few people in the game
that don't show don't want to show up when you're there.
And he gave a list of reasons, some of which I still disagree with,
some of which makes sense to me, none of which I remember when I read it.
And I was crying. I remember reading I read it and I was crying.
I remember reading it like whether I agree or not, I had no idea anyone felt this way about me.
The short that I made, I guess I'll plug it, it's on YouTube.
It's called I am phenomenal.
I'm proud of it because it was a traumatizing moment.
Then I turned into something.
But like the whole idea was like, I am phenomenal.
I'm the best.
Everyone wants to play with me. And then I found out that like, not only am I pick last, a lot of the time,
some guys don't even show up when I'm there. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
Also, Zach, I don't know if I told you, but like two weeks before that, I was kicked out of a
poker game that I was in for a few years
for just talking too much shit and doing too many bits
and you would call it exhausting.
And I'm like, okay, I just got kicked out of this poker game
and I know they're all wrong,
but now I know these guys are wrong
and how could 30 people be wrong?
And it was like-
When someone says, when enough people tell you to sit down, you're drunk, you probably should sit down.
Well, I haven't heard that saying, but yes, I think that's exactly what it is. And it's a tool
that I've started to kind of put into practice, even with like podcast stuff. I read comments
on my podcast, I scroll through looking for, cause people put timestamps of moments that they like.
So like that's where I find clips.
And then sometimes I end up reading more than I need to.
And typically my, the people at least on my podcast
are they're very nice people.
I think there's a lot of socially awkward people
that connect with me and they're just kinder.
But like when I start to see a pattern of things,
I don't necessarily agree, but I do
have to be like, like, let me look at this.
It's something I didn't do before.
And I don't think it's as much as pride as much as I didn't recognize certain things
as patterns.
Like getting kicked out of a poker game and a basketball game is a pattern.
But somebody saying I'm being too loud and then somebody saying they don't want them
to play basketball with me.
I didn't realize maybe those things are connected.
Nobody told me these things. Bill gave me a list of things that I'm like, oh, I didn't
think I was like this in basketball, but somebody else has told me this about other things and
this and this and this. And he said, like kind of the inciting incident to this self-discovery
of mine was he's saying,
I don't think you realize how people perceive you.
And he was spot on because I never felt like I don't know how people
perceive me. I always felt like people see me the same way I see me, which is awesome.
You know, like my mom applauds everything I do.
I just am around a loving family.
Even when I have a joke on I'd say on stage now that I didn't know, I found out in my 30s
I didn't have friends.
I never knew.
I just thought everybody was busy all the time.
Because like, I was never,
I never was consciously like lonely or not included.
So like nobody told me things directly
because it's so much easier to just be like,
let's not invite Rick anymore, as opposed to saying,
hey Rick, if you could just turn the volume
on your microphone down, we could handle you.
So Bill did it also at a time in my life
where I guess I was able to receive it.
And it ended up helping me discover things about myself.
Like I said, I had to go like these special classes
and special school and I was diagnosed
with lots of different things as a kid,
different medications and I even had to get glasses in third grade. And then I found out through this bill stuff,
I ended up getting diagnosed with level one autism. And when I found out, I was like,
And when i found out i was like this makes so much sense and like all of those unrelated obstacles and unrelated things in my life that that i then were able to see his patterns kind of made me recognize.
I don't know how to explain other than just self awareness somewhat you know just a little bit more but it wasn't even like I became more aware. It just made me realize like, oh, I need to pay more attention to things. I started asking
lots of questions. The first one I did, I put this in that video, but like, Zach is leaning forward
and his eyes are squinted a little bit. And I learned that like, when people squint and they lean forward, it's they want
to hear a little bit more. And if they squint and they lean back, they've heard enough.
And like I started asking and looking at people's body language with things that weren't intuitive
to me that I think I've gotten really good at now. And when I started my podcast, it's
called Take Your Shoes Off. Like Zach, I also have OCD and take your shoes off is kind of like the easiest
rule, like everyone at least gets that even if they're not that, but then there's
so many more, like when you come over, I don't let outdoor clothes on my couch.
So you have to sit on a blanket and wash your hands and do this.
And, and I have to do bits with it all because otherwise I'd rather it be, wow, Rick does jokes all the time
as opposed to, man, Rick is an asshole.
So like that was kind of a language of
people could receive it if it's funny.
Let's take a break.
We'll be right back after these fine words.

I'm Dr. Lorie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.
As the US elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture,
in our politics, and that we need to do better
and that we can be better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist, Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic.
If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans,
even those we disagree with, are more generous
than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch,
is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way more generous than we assume. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeart Radio

Tony Saskia, this is so interesting to me, but how did you, the social cues thing, which
seems to be a piece of this,
what you're saying, like I had to learn
if someone leans forward and squints there,
how did you just take it apart a little more?
How did you learn that you had autism?
You went and got, how did you know to go get an assessment?
So for almost two years before that,
I was kind of hypothesizing,
do I have, or something like this?
Because just certain things in my life
that make it more curious to me,
but then I ended up getting lunch with one of the,
Ron Funches, who was also a stand-up comic
who was on Undateable.
Yes, yeah, we love him.
He is open and talks about it in his act a lot.
I say, I mean, I don't know why I say a lot,
but he talks about his act and it's very funny.
His son, right?
Yeah, a father of a teenager with autism
and his son lives with him.
And if you watch Ron's act over the years,
you kind of like learn how he grows with his son.
And it's very funny.
He's very like, it's not self-deprecating. I don't know how to explain it, but like he makes jokes about it all. Like it's very funny. He's very like, it's not self-deprecating.
I don't know how to explain it,
but like he makes jokes about it all.
Like it's very honest and real and like the obstacles
and what he thinks is cool and kind of the cheats
that he gets to do.
And anyway, I was at lunch with him and his son
and his son did something that I did a lot
when I was a kid.
It does, I don't need to get into it,
but basically stimming.
Do you know what stimming is?
It's self-stimulation.
It's not an autistic thing.
I mean, people do it when they tap their pens
or just, you know, when they're hyper, like.
Your fingers.
Yeah, whatever, however it might come out.
I love fidget toys still.
I keep them around.
Yeah, a lot of people with ADD like things like that too.
But he did one that was very specific
through when I was a kid.
And I'm like, I used to do that.
And Ron had brought to my attention,
yeah, there's a lot of similar things that I've noticed.
And then I'm like, oh, I was thinking this.
And he goes, and he didn't diagnose it or know anything.
He goes, yeah, I could see that.
That makes sense.
And it just made it curious to me.
And then I looked into how to find out.
And when it's a lot harder to diagnose,
the hardest to diagnose in females,
which we could talk about if you're interested, but that's like its own category of like how it
presents itself so much differently. And, you know, even though you're fake doctors, I'm sure
you're aware that like a lot of medical things are tested in practice and prioritized on men. And
it's already, it's not like you could check somebody's blood. So females and also adults, because in kids,
when you're a kid, you haven't yet adapted to figure out ways
around some of your obstacles.
As an adult, it depends on how much it is.
There's different levels.
I'm level one.
It's like something that you might not know
unless you got to know somebody.
And I've adapted.
I've, you know, people would say, how you doing?
I learned to just say, good, how are you?
I mean, that was truly, I never did it.
I would always just say, I don't want to tell you or I would do a joke.
And like I learned about call and response and you don't have to do it for you.
Just you do it to survive.
I say that, you know, kind of hyperbolically, but just like certain things during the day,
I've learned, but I would just get drained.
I also, you know, Zach, you said that it's exhausting.
That's something that I didn't realize,
not only was I exhausting other people,
I was really, like I would get home
and I would just be done.
Like I didn't realize how tiring I am to myself.
My experience with you was that I would be laughing the whole time because I find you
very funny, but also it was just, you wouldn't ever stop.
And I would be like, I need a nap now. I've laughed, but I need a nap.
Yeah.
You know, what you have some, you listen, Rick, you have some of the best timing out
of all of our friends that we know.
That's what I'm telling everybody.
In the whole, I'm dead serious, in the whole Bill Lawrence camp, you are probably one of
In the Bill Lawrence metaverse.
Yeah, you are one of, you are top, in my opinion, top five funny, in my opinion.
You have some of the best timing that I have ever, you and Ron both, and Chris too,
you guys have some of the best timing,
like just out of the blue where it's like,
where the fuck did that come from?
You know what I mean?
The three of you, but you especially,
like you take moments that everybody can be like down
and somber and you turn and you flip it right away.
One example is Bill Lawrence's birthday
We got Charlie Puth singing
We got him singing the fucking it's been a long
Without you my friend and he's killing it and he's at the he's at the piano to doing it
It is a real like it's just a fucking Grammy level performance. He's giving us right now
And out of nowhere
Rick fucking starts doing the fucking with Khalifa part. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I yeah you did I was just I was freestyle. I was freestyling stuff. I don't I was making I was I was pretty stoned
I remember what made me I remember feeling good about this because I was
again like I like this video I made.
I called I am phenomenal. I think like.
I this is going to come across.
I mean, and honestly, I'm aware this isn't true, but I think so many things
I do are so phenomenal, but I'm also not surprised to find out they're not
that you guys didn't think so.
And I get that. But but
for whatever reason, I disagree. And I love living life that way.
But hold on. But so I'm doing this and I'm stoned. And I
remember I got there. I want to remind you guys remind me to
remind me to talk about when I first got there how Bill treated
me but I'll get to that in a second. I got a little stoned.
And I started rapping and I just felt like I was in the pocket. I love rapping. I do my pot
all the time. He went like this, he went like this, who knew? And everybody's like, Rick, come on, man.
No, no, no, no. Yes, that happened. But then I saw Charlie was smiling. Again, he might've been not, but you know,
this is my, this is my thing.
So then I did more.
I remember Zach said, who is that?
Zach, you asked me, who is that?
And I go, I just made that up.
And you go, no, you didn't.
I remember you didn't believe,
I probably wasn't even saying anything.
I was just, sometimes I rap and it sounds like
I'm saying stuff and I'm not.
But I remember Zach, you thought I was, at least you,
you thought I was rapping somebody else's
thing.
I think I probably thought because I don't know the song that well that maybe there was
a rap portion and you were trying to do it.
There is.
That's why I went but I don't know the words to it.
So I probably assumed that you were doing that.
Well that just got me that just I'm like, I walked out of the living room.
I walked out of the living because here's something I learned.
Donald's right.
Donald's right.
It's fucking hilarious. Got to everyone.
This is in Bill's like, like bar, like, like it's a small room. It's like a piano.
But everybody it's he has people, he, hey, do you want to come over for a coffee?
And it's like, like the Grammy awards, like the people that are at his house.
My point is, is that like Charlie Puth was having his moment at the piano.
I sure, sure.
Charlie Puth was having his moment at the piano and Hi, sweetie. Sure. Charlie Puth was having his moment at the piano and you were like, you started rapping
over it. And I remember thinking, I remember thinking it was fucking hilarious.
I laughed so hard. I laughed so hard. Since we're having laughs, since we have our lap
animals with us now, I've laughed so freaking hard. like I was crying. And it was toward the end of his performance,
like he had done all of the hits.
We don't talk anymore.
He did that one.
He did all of them.
And this is the finale.
We don't talk anymore.
And then Rick started rapping over that shit.
That shit had me, I laughed.
Oh my God, I laughed.
I laughed for days about that.
I talked to my wife about it. That was a really fun, I remember that. I remember that night, I remember. Oh my God. I laughed. I laughed for days about that. I talked to my wife about it.
That was a really fun. I remember that. I remember that night. I remember you doing your dancing.
Everyone was performing and nothing about it was like to everyone stealing
spotlight because everyone there was a performer and everybody had spotlight and an audience.
And everybody was, it was, that was fun. It was a good night. So when I walked in there,
Bill does something with me. I guess this is fine. I mean, whatever. Bill
does something with me, at least he used to and maybe still does.
But I don't see him as much. But I think Bill thinks I'm really
funny. I also think Bill thinks that I might bother somebody all
at the same time, kind of like what Zach is saying about himself.
But like I watch Bill, so I walk in and I wasn't high yet.
And I wasn't high on purpose.
Cause I know Bill, I'm projecting Bill is scared
of me doing something.
So like I'm going into this man's house.
Don't be high, at least not yet.
And I remember him-
He's your way in.
Yeah, and I remember he introduced me.
And I saw him introduce me to people
and he introduces me to people in a way
where like he's like a producer.
He's like almost trying to manage people's expectations.
And he'll say stuff like,
Rick is a little weird, but he's funny.
Like something where he like lets people know.
And I watched him, I don't remember who it was,
but an agent of his or somebody, but it was me, Bill and one other guy. And I watch, I'm talking. I don't remember who it was, but some an agent of his or somebody.
But it was me, Bill and one other guy.
And I watch I'm talking and I'm doing bits because I'm there
and I'm watching Bill watching.
Look at me for a second, but watching the watching the other person.
And once the other person laughs, then Bill kind of like, OK, I'm safe.
And I saw enough of that to where I'm like, okay, I think I could get high now.
Just remember.
Well, at a cocktail party, you're perfect
because you do bits kind of nonstop,
but you're like a magician who's working the party.
Table to table.
You just kind of go table to table.
Yeah.
And then no one's like, oh my God,
will this guy shut the fuck up?
What they don't know is I don't, and I don't shut up.
And I'm exhausted.
Yeah, but you're like a magician.
We work the room.
I know, this is a trick. This I don't shut up. And I'm a magician. You work the work. We work the room.
This is a trick.
This is a trick.
Here's what I learned.
I actually, I actually, when I'm out at parties
or something and there's groups,
especially if I feel like I'm in it, which again,
I feel like I am more than I probably am,
but like I'll be like, like, like how Costanza goes,
all right, I'm out.
I did it after the rapping.
Once I get something, I'm like, I need to do more bits,
but I just say that Rick, leave for 30 seconds,
and just get out.
So when I'm at a party or something,
once I get a laugh, I'm like, I want to keep going
because I want to ride the wave, but I don't think anyone
will tell me, Rick, it's too much.
So I leave and I'll go up to other groups and I'll be like,
are we doing bits?
I'll ask the group, are you guys having serious talk, are we doing bits? I'll ask the group.
Are you guys having serious talk? Are we doing bits? And people, they'll tell you,
because it's such a specific question. People will say, yeah, we're just joking around or
we're just talking. I'm in. They're like, yeah, such and such sister is going through a blah, blah.
I'm like, I should walk away. I don't even say it. I just do it.
But do you ever go, are you able to go, oh, tell me about someone so sister?
No, you don't care.
No, I don't know them.
I don't know.
No, I mean, I think it's important.
You're in the pocket.
You got to do your bits.
Listen, if I'm at the bowling alley
and somebody brings me a baseball bat,
I'm not gonna say baseball's stupid, but I'm not here. Right. Right. And also back to the idea of like, it's exhausting and
bits and I exhausted myself. The truth is bits are king. Okay. Because without bits, it's just,
how's your sister? Now, if I'm interested or if it's important to you and this is a way of
connecting or you need support or I'm catching up. Sure, I'm not saying serious conversation is unnecessary, but like
by design, a lot of these things, a lot of most of our interactions with exception of long form,
like podcasts, it's very superficial. I don't mean that in a derogatory way.
I just mean-
I was about to say, hold on now. There have been times where I've had conversations with you and
you've been like, no, seriously, Donald, how's everything going? And I'm like, oh, you're fucking doing a bit right now, aren't you?
There has been that, that has happened once or twice. Hold on now.
Yeah, no, but you're making my point. I'm saying if I'm interested in somebody and or they're
interested in me, I'm not saying talk, like we're talking serious now. It's not stupid,
but I'm saying there's a lot of times where,
and I could be wrong or I could be right,
but also somebody could have a different opinion.
It just doesn't feel genuine to me.
It's just like, oh man, how's your fam?
Like, I don't know, maybe I just don't buy it.
Like, why don't we talk about something
that we're interested in talking about, or let's do jokes. And the
problem that I had was I didn't recognize when somebody might be interested in having a real
conversation. And just because I'm not doesn't mean that they're not. And that's me shutting
them down. And it's also forcing bits. But what I learned, and it's still hard, but what I learned
is genuine conversation for me, if I'm not in the mood, is very difficult. And if I don't do jokes, I'm just zoning out. I'm looking away or I'm not present
or I'm rude. I mean, it's rude. So like what I've learned from the podcast is,
if I'm not interested, it's because I'm not curious.
I happen to be a very curious person.
So there's, I think, a nice way of having genuine conversation
while also not negating what somebody wants to talk about
is finding something within it that I'm curious about.
So when somebody's like, you're talking about Bill's party,
whatever, be like, I'm sorry, I'm not quite remembering
that kind of stuff.
What was it like, what was funny about that to you?
Or whatever it might be, like finding curiosity in things.
But then like now, then I end up just talking too much
and I don't know how to balance it.
I have a question about, I have a question about,
I have a question about level one autism.
Does that, and I don't wanna misspeak it all,
so please audience, I'm gonna get educated here
because I don't exactly know.
Did this used to be called Asperger's?
What's the overlap with the term
that's no longer used Asperger's?
So it used to be called Asperger's.
Asperger's.
What was known as Asperger's is what is used to be called Asperger's. Asperger's. What was known as Asperger's
is what is basically level one autism spectrum disorder.
Some people say they stopped calling it Asperger's
because it was named after a Nazi.
Yeah, I heard he was a Nazi.
So he had to get rid of that term, right?
Yeah, but that's coming back bigger than ever now.
So I do feel it.
Oh, so Asperger's is gonna be back too.
And buddy, look at my new merch. Just says, I have Asperger's is gonna be back too. And buddy, look at my new merch. Just says I have
Asperger's, free the Jews or something. No, is that really true? Asperger who, what did Asperger,
he was a Nazi, but what does he have to do with Asperger? He's a doctor and he defined it.
I see. So we had to get rid of his name. We had to rebrand. Well, the other thing that I heard, and that makes more sense to me, but they both might
be true, is that it's similar.
There's different levels and how high your obstacles are and what your sensitivities
might be and how many of them there are.
And that's where the different levels are. Asperger's versus autism, that Asperger's was like milder, better almost, stigmatizing
one way or the other.
Like, oh, it's not like it's autism or oh, it's just Asperger's.
I've heard, I don't know if that's true, but it made sense to me because it's like, you
know, kind of like how ADD and ADHD, they're the same thing. But like there was
different classes, you could have it more or less severe, but why have these different
diagnosis? So that's my understanding of it. Okay. It's also like I said, it's harder to
diagnose an adult than as a kid. As a kid, if people understood it better, I probably
would have been diagnosed younger.
And also, you know, you say, Zach,
you don't know a lot about it, but a lot of people don't.
And-
Well, that's why I feel like we can educate a little bit.
No, I just want to segue into,
you had a show called, As We See It,
that we got a lot of critical acclaiming
and you were very good on it.
I think I texted you and said-
I actually found out that you liked it
because somebody clipped,
you talked about it on one of your podcasts.
I thought that was really cool.
Well, there you go.
I was very happy for you.
It was an Amazon Prime series.
People can check it out.
Great show.
And what's interesting about it is that
it was about people on the spectrum
and the main actors were all people who were somewhere
on the spectrum, correct?
As well as one of the writers and a lot of production
and hair and makeup, if they weren't on the spectrum,
one of their brothers or sisters, their son, their daughter,
like almost everybody was within one degree
connected to this,
which I guess is nice for representation, but also gay for so many different points of view,
which I don't know if that was a mission for the show.
It was created by Jason Kadems,
who did Parenthood and Friday Night Lights,
and he's brilliant.
And his son is on the spectrum.
And his son is, when spectrum and his son is,
when the show was coming out or when he was writing, it was turning into his teenage years and becoming an adult.
And what does that look like when you're a caregiver
for somebody like a child who is,
it's a typical thing on the spectrum or not,
you tend to your children.
But as they get older and the idea of what that life
looks like and the independence or lack thereof
and there's a show called On the Spectrum, an Israeli show that he adopted it from and there are
the show is supposed to take supposed to be about three twenty-somethings who are living alone but
together like they're not living with their family. They live in a house together. They have somebody come in,
like a guidance counselor type thing,
every day to check in on them and everything.
Played by Socie Bacon.
And on that show, and there's so many background actors
and guest stars that were also on the spectrum
and so different.
Some people you'd look at them and be like autism.
And some people you'd be like, what's going on here?
I say what's going on here because that's a thing.
Autism aside, you'll meet people or you'll walk by somebody
and you'll be like, what's going on with this guy or this girl?
And I think that comes from curiosity, but also even
subconsciously judgment first,
like, what the hell is this? And I've always been very connected to those kinds of people,
I guess, because I played Magic the Gathering and they were probably a whole bunch, they were all
what's going on here type people. And there's something safe about it because when there's
somebody that's a what's going on type of person, I also feel like they, a lot of people don't ask what's going on.
Like what is that?
What, what, what job does your dog do for you?
What, why are you doing that with your hand?
What are those noises you're making?
Like they don't ask the question.
So instead of understanding the person there, whether they know it or not, they're judging
them or they're feeling like this person isn't worth me being curious about.
And I assure you that almost everybody,
if not everybody who is a what's going on type of person,
not only are they gonna be okay with you asking them that,
they're gonna be flattered
that you've shown an interest in them.
And they are interested-
But how do you ask that, Rick?
How do you, without offending anyone, how do you-
But there is no offending.
There is no offending.
But I'm saying, okay, well then tell people
who are listening to you, this is good advice.
How would you approach the subject?
So I'm gonna answer you with a little bit
of a long-winded thing that is important
that I think that I mentioned,
which is if you offend somebody,
they're like, like we said,
like we have to take responsibility
how we're being received.
But at the same time, there's a standard deviation
of where is it our responsibility
and where are your feelings not my responsibility?
And there's a big section where if you're offended, Zach,
that I ask you why you're, you know,
what's going on with a scar on your face,
that's maybe because you're feeling insecure
about your scar.
But, and there's tact and there's figuring out and there's reading a room,
of course, but like, if you see somebody and they just start
doing things, you start doing like that kind of wheat,
like what you would think is weird shit.
If you're not used to that and you just,
I'm being polite by ignoring it.
I would argue that you're being dismissive
by not acknowledging it.
Addressing it.
Yeah. Now you don't have to draw attention to people
and say, hey, everybody look at this,
but like, hey, we're working on a thing
and I saw you doing these things.
What is that?
And they'll explain, or it's how I was stimming,
or I do this, or whatever it might be.
Then you could decide, oh, I don't wanna be around this,
if for whatever reason you don't, but find out why first.
I'm speaking for myself, but I truly believe that curiosity is not offensive
to ask questions about Donald and black culture,
because I don't want to bring up black stuff or something.
It's like. I'm curious about it.
Like, ask him about it.
I don't think I don't think any person, I don't think any human being,
any African American would be offended
if you ask them about their culture.
You're absolutely right about that.
Yeah, like Donald, do you use a washcloth in the shower?
This is a big topic on our show.
I definitely use a washcloth in the shower.
Is it really?
Yeah, Joelle does as well.
Yes, it's a very, it's very-
Only white people.
You white people don't do it in college.
I learned that in college.
We actually made, I don't know if they're still available
in the merch store, Joelle, but back when the podcast began,
we made fake doctors, real friends washcloths
because we discovered that stereotypically
African-American people use-
You can brand it with Fubu.
Listen, wow, wow, wow.
That's funny.
Wow, Rick.
They're for you.
Yeah, buy us, I get it, Rick.
Buy us, buy us.
Buy us, buy us.
Buy us, buy us. Rick, tell Donald that joke that I get it, Rick. Bias. For us, bias.
Rick, tell Donald that joke that I love that you do.
I don't know if you do it anymore, but he didn't see it when you start your set with your hood up.
Oh, well, I mean, it's a performance based joke and I'm not going to do it now.
Well, can you just walk the audience through it? Some people will watch this on YouTube.
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. Go to punch up dot live slash Rick Glassman to find out when I'm going to be
performing in your city and I'll do some of those jokes. Yes. Yeah.
We want we want you to go see Rick. His stand-up's hilarious.
Can I tell the audience? Are you still in shape? Hold up. Oh no, man.
Let him tell his jokes. I want to tell his joke because it's so funny.
He's still in shape.
I remember when we did Undateable week, when we came on that one episode,
you weren't in shape.
And then I saw you again, like four months later,
and all of a sudden you were jacked and ripped
and everything like that.
It comes and goes.
It comes and goes.
It comes and goes.
Rick, you're very good with the ladies.
How's your love life going?
I've seen you with some very attractive, nice women.
What's, how's that going?
Well, first, let me just say that all women are attractive,
even the ugly ones.
Now, I think-
Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
That's all right, that's Rick, you gotta let him be Rick.
Go ahead, Rick.
Well, I don't know what you're talking about
with me being, I don't know what you're saying.
A few times in our experiences,
I've seen you hanging out with very attractive women.
Very, very, very.
They're also very funny.
Yes, I'm wondering if you're currently seeing someone with very attractive women. Very belly, very. They're also very funny. Yes.
I'm wondering if you're currently seeing someone
or is there a Mrs. Rick in the picture?
There's not.
There's no Mrs. Rick.
Are you actively dating?
Are you taking women out to dinner
and asking them what they do?
I am not actively dating.
Have you ever gone by the ricker?
He's not gonna get a silver spoons joke.
He's too young.
Remember he told us how young he was when he watched Scrubs.
Oh, that's from, I'm sorry, my headphones cut out.
I didn't hear what Zach said.
Isn't that from silver spoons?
You're too young to know.
You're too young to know a silver spoons reference.
No, I got out of a relationship.
I got out of a relationship a couple of months ago,
I guess maybe more than that now.
How do you feel about it?
How are you feeling?
Oh, it's always hard
I mean, I I I
Have it takes me years to fire an agent. I just I don't leave people well
I did in Drake
You sitting down yeah, yeah we are
Cordially kindly and then just me being depressed for six weeks.
Right. Right. I got it.
There's no way for it to end without-
We've all, we've all been there.
Can I get her number, Rick?
You know, it's interesting about that.
Why is it like, of course, when you break up with somebody, they're
going to be with somebody else.
But the idea of it being with somebody else,
I don't know if it's worth somebody who's like,
I'm really close to it or somebody who I kind of know,
but for a long time.
I don't want it to be anybody I know.
Listen, listen, if you date in Hollywood,
you better believe that they're gonna date somebody
after you in Hollywood.
Well, you don't want it to be anyone you know.
That's horrible.
It's always somebody you know after.
That's not true.
Well, maybe you guys just know a lot of people.
In Hollywood it is.
In Hollywood?
They might be someone you know,
like you don't know them, but you know who they are.
Well, Zach, I don't want to give you her number
because she's wonderful.
Hold on, hold on.
I hung out.
I would never date, I would never date,
I'm doing a bit, but I would never date some Rick's ex-girlfriend.
I mean like people who are like-
One of your girlfriends is my ex of mine that you don't even know about.
I was about to say, I have friends that-
Really?
I have friends that have dated ex-girlfriends of mine.
Friends!
One of my- someone I dated-
Or that I thought were friends.
Donald, hold on, you're-
I'm not gonna tell you.
No, because now you're in it.
Now you're in it, so go ahead.
Someone I dated used to date you?
Yes, and asked me not to tell you.
Hmm.
Can we figure out who it is?
You won't tell me.
No, I just made that up.
I was just looking for drama, I'm sorry.
Oh my God.
I don't wanna lie.
I don't wanna lie.
If I were editing this, I would've really leaned into it
and made this into a thing for a while, but this is your show. I don't wanna lie. I don't wanna lie. If I were editing this, I would have really leaned into it and made this into a thing for a while,
but this is your show.
I'm sorry.
I was going through the ladies.
I'm glad that's not true.
Can I tell your bit that you won't tell everyone?
No, no, no.
No, because I don't want people to know.
It's kind of a joke that only works once.
Do you still use it?
It's a joke that I really believe only works once,
so I do use it, but like
one in 20 shows. I laughed a lot at it. Go see Rick do stand up. How do people find where
you're doing stand up Rick? Punch up dot live slash Rick Glassman. It's kind of a mouthful,
but it's where where not only will it show where I'm at, it also people I actually, if
you want to see me, I would love for you to go to that site, punchup.live slash
Rick Glassman. And you can see exclusive stand up stuff I have
up there. But also you could sign up for my mailing list,
where you just give an email and your zip code and I don't email
you any spam. I only email you when I'm coming within 50 miles
of your city. And I started setting up my first tour now.
I've never done it before. I never wanted to leave.
I always hated traveling.
I still do.
But because of the podcast,
I just would do, I do three to five shows in LA every week.
But there are 50-
Which club?
The Laugh Factory and The Improv
are where I'm at every week pretty much.
And then the Comedy Store sometimes.
Donald, we should go see him at one of these clubs.
Fuck you, man. Fuck you.
I like watching you. you make me laugh.
I would love for you.
I've seen you with Bill.
I was with Bill when we saw you do the bit
that you won't tell people.
I would love for you guys to come to a show
and then I'm gonna just put it out here
because who knows when we're gonna talk again.
I would love for you both to come on my pod
at some point together.
Right, but I've been on your podcast
and if everyone wants to see that episode,
how do they find that episode?
It's episode 165.
If you actually go to rickglassman.com, it'll be right up there at the top.
You're so professional.
Why did you, how do you memorize that it's 165?
Zach, I'm not sure if you remember what I told you about when Brent Moran came over.
I'm a big fan of scrubs.
I don't believe you.
You said you were a baby.
You said you were three years old.
He brought out a puppet from his bar mitzvah.
Don't fucking talk about my act, dude.
Shut up, man.
Oh my God.
You're a spoiler.
Oh, well, I am at the top.
165.
Is that because it was so well received?
I stopped updating my website coincidentally after your episode I've done.
You're a liar.
No, seriously.
And Rick, I'm gonna live in a world
where it was because it was so well received.
Oh my God, it's insane how well it was.
People were like, wow, that bully is funny sometimes.
Bully, well, you do have to take off your shoes
and he puts down blankets because you have outside clothes.
He doesn't want outside clothes on his shit.
Yeah.
So Rick, when you come home,
you change fully into inside clothes.
Yeah, there's two tiers of inside clothes.
There's, when I come in, once something's worn outside,
it becomes outdoor clothes until it's washed
and then it's reset, obviously.
Right.
Now I have a dog now.
So when I go and I walk the dog,
if I don't sit down on anything, including my car,
they're indoor clothes still.
Oh, not about the dog's paws.
Do you have to walk the dog's paws?
I wipe the paws when he walks in. Yeah.
OK. That's interesting, Rick.
You know what? I take showers because of if I go outside.
And it all started with Covid.
So Covid happened. Sure. Covid happened.
And now because of it, if I go outside,
let's say I go to a supermarket,
when I come home, automatically I shower, bro,
and I gotta change the clothes I had on.
If I go to the supermarket.
Donal, doesn't that make you not wanna leave now
because of the extra work?
He doesn't leave his house.
I don't go anywhere.
I don't go anywhere.
I'm trying to get him to go to Vegas.
It's like begging somebody to do something.
I could talk to you about, I found,
so I was like this, my OCE was very bad as a kid.
I got better as an adult.
COVID made brought me back like COVID.
But it's getting better and there's different, different tools.
And I actually, one of the reasons I got a doggy was to make me go outside more.
And to be okay with like rel like I'd be a white, this pause, but like an
animal around my house and stuff.
And it's really helped.
But yeah, the, it's like, sometimes it's like,
I want to go out, I want to do this,
but then I have to, for you shower for me,
change my clothes.
It used to be, I have to wash my glasses
and my phone and all the things.
It's just, it wasn't worth it.
It became exhausting.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Eight inches if I push from the side. But about eight. I'm
serious.
If I push from the side.
What am I saying? Like, you know, talking about like if you
go like, no, no, no, it's fun. Sounds funny. But I want to know
where are you pushing from the side?
On the pelvic bone. I'll be putting the sides.
Okay, so you do like a Kegel longer. Let me show you longer let me show you no and if you know if you
just push down right here it's it just kind of just like it makes it its
biggest
dad come here for a sec no no no no no no no no no no no no I have autism I have
autism let me do this. We know. We all know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come here. No, we don't want to.
No, I was just talking about our penis size and I was going to see if you would.
Oh, my God. That doesn't want to show it.
No, thanks guys. Let your dad go out of the room.
He just ran down the steps. Sorry, Dad.

We'll be right back after these fine words.

I'm Dr. Lorie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the US elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of
my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows,
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture,
in our politics, and that we need to do better,
and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist, Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic.
If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch, is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other.
All that on the Happiness Lab.

My honest question, and this isn't a bit, although I'm sure you'll turn it into one.
What is it like being so germaphobic having intercourse with a new woman who doesn't know all of your
Needs as an OCD person. Why don't we open with this that now that's a curious question
Yeah. Well, first of all, do you have to scrub her down? What's that Meryl Streep movie? Now you're turning it into a bit you started off really good and now you're turning it into a bit Zach. Sorry
It's not Meryl Streep. What's that movie with it?
You're turning it into a bit Zach. Sorry. It's not Merrill Street. What's that movie with it? It's a nuclear facility Joel and they have to scrub her. That's Merrill Street. Blast from the past
It's like silver and it's like Merrill Street.
Scrubs guys. Is it silkwood? Yeah
Rick do you have to silk with the woman? Here I'll let my mom answer
I'm gonna take the headphones off for a second. Zach ask again. No no
Hi, please. Please don't. Hi, it's good to see you.
Zach, what was the question that you asked me
in my parents' house?
One sec, Ma, Zach has a question for you.
Okay.
I was asking Rick if...
It's okay.
Zach, you can ask.
You can ask.
Because Rick has such strict OCD needs,
how does that translate when he's having intercourse
with a new woman?
Actually, that's funny you would ask,
because I have no idea.
However, however, I've actually thought,
I've actually thought in my mind,
if he makes them wear like a, you know,
like a, what is it called, a wetsuit or something
so that nothing touches him.
So I have no idea.
I hope it's fun, I hope it's good.
I don't get it.
I don't get it either.
Mom, tell Zach and Donald what the moil said at my bris.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Yeah, what did the moil say?
No, come on. No.
No, I want to know. A moil is someone who cuts the foreskin off.
The moil is the guy that does the circumcision.
Yeah, cuts the foreskin for those Jews.
And very, very religious guy.
And he did it and it was over.
And now my mother and I, my mother was very, very funny, New York burlesque woman.
And my mother and I are upstairs after the breast to change baby's diaper.
And my mother looks at the baby and she goes, oh, Kanahara is this, is this, you know,
a healthy baby. And I said, I don't think they got it all. And I called the moil and I said,
did you get all the foreskin off? And he goes, Mrs. Glassman, your son is very well.
Thanks, mom. Mrs. Glassman, your son is very well.
Thanks, mom.
Oh my God.
So.
Oh my God.
Okay, that's all I have to say.
On that note, plug your headphones back in.
Because they didn't believe me
that dad and I have a big penis.
On that note, oh my God.
So here, go in the other room.
Let me just answer this one question.
That is a first in fake doctors, real friends history,
a mother bragging about the size of her son's penis.
And this is why I walk around thinking I'm phenomenal.
But let me just say this.
Do you silkwood the women? Go ahead.
I'm not a germaphobe. It's not about germs. It's about things that I think are dirty.
So like that's objective if you're talking about like, I don't think grass and dirt is bad.
I think like spit and stranger stuff and like stuff that you're walking out in the street, like stuff that's like if you got it on your fingers.
If I picked up grass, I wouldn't go, ew, ew, ew, ew.
If there's something like you got it on your fingers or something like you want to wash your hands immediately.
I can't have that stuff in the house.
So I have indoor clothes, which are just indoor clothes.
And then I have bed clothes.
Bed clothes don't leave the bed.
So like I'll have bed clothes for a day or two.
And then I'm like, all right, these bed clothes are done.
I'm gonna graduate them to indoor clothes.
And now I'll wear those bed clothes on the couch.
And then I'll either wash them.
You're avoiding my question.
It's connected, it's connected, it's connected.
So when a girl come, mom go in the other room.
Just for a sec, she's got a little kugel.
We're getting close to that hour.
Oh, mom's even kugel?
It doesn't come out yet and they can't hear.
They say happy new year.
Donald, and you could ask questions about that if you want
because of the washcloth conversation.
He's fine.
Got it.
So when a girl
comes over, if she were going to be in the living room, she'll just sit on the blanket. But I
explained to her, also, by the way, if you're coming over, you're into this already. You get this.
You already know. Yeah. You're not just, you know, having a first date and you come over and go,
take off your shoes, take off your shoes. Like you're into this already.
Right. So, but she knows like there's going to be a process so i let them know beforehand that like
hey so i'm a certain way um if we end up um i don't say these words but if we end up having
can i say hanky panky on this yeah of course you can no hanky panky sounds better thank you
if we're gonna make hanky panky making whoopee like if we're gonna like make out or whatever in
the bed like i'm not i I'm not, I have no expectations
of us having sex.
I'm not saying that's what's gonna happen,
but you're gonna either need to take off your clothes
or I'll give you some shorts.
So you give them a hookup outfit.
Yeah.
Well, typically they just, you know,
with such grace and they're so smart and important,
they will traditionally, if they're gonna take,
if they're gonna get in bed,
they'll just take off their clothes.
So at that point.
So, but some of them, I'm sure like, yes,
I will take the hookup outfit.
Sometimes they'll put on like, yeah, like shorts
or like they'll put on boxers or something.
And if it's cold, a sweatshirt or something, yeah.
But what about their mouths?
Are you worried about the germs in their mouths and sticking your tongue in their mouth?
I don't really.
I'm not somebody who really hooks up with somebody like.
Without getting to know them,
some like I'm not like some random person without knowing them out.
You tried to kiss me the first day you met me.
How many kisses different?
I don't remember doing it, but I believe it.
Do you ask them to like swirl some scope or something?
No, I'll tell you what I do.
Dude, you're doing a bit.
I'm not doing a bit.
I'm genuinely curious.
So here's what I do.
I've been to his house. It's very serious.
If somebody has bad breath, I can't do it.
I remember I was with a girl who was before,
but she ended up being a girlfriend of mine, but we were, uh, I'll say canoodling then.
Is that what we were canoodling and, uh, her perfume was just so strong.
Perfume is poison.
I don't get it to me.
I get it's for you and enjoy yourself, but like walk into it.
At least people are dabbing and pushing and, and I just couldn't handle it.
And we were fooling around a little bit.
And I said,
I remember thinking like, okay, I could tell her later. Or because I have to tell her at some point.
Or if I'm going to tell her later, might as well do it now. And I remember I said something like, hey, I want to bring something up. This is a me issue, not you. I'm very sensitive to smells.
And the perfume is so distracting. I'm not really able to do this. Just like next time, maybe you could just walk into it
if you know we're gonna be together type of thing.
Oh my God, how does she react?
Well, she became my girlfriend for a little bit.
So I get insecure that the girl won't say
something like that to me.
If there's an issue that you have with me,
tell me, I don't wanna think about is my breath gross.
So I now like condition, not just in intimate relationships,
but in friendships as well, like,
hey, this is how I communicate
and please teach me how you communicate.
But I will basically say what I need from her
by also putting it on me saying like,
hey, I brushed my teeth already,
but if my breath is gross, you gotta tell me please.
And then they would be like,
I will tell you also is mine gross.
And then I could be like,
I think we could brush our teeth.
Oh my gosh.
You know, if it's necessary.
Because what are we doing here?
Because that's the thing.
Listen, if those guys at that basketball game told me that my breath was bad on day one,
they wouldn't have built enough resentment to make Bill kick me out.
Just tell me.
Right.
We're so intimate.
You're saying figuratively about your breath.
Yes.
We're being intimate, okay?
I am exploring your body.
I want to be able to be honest with you.
And if, you know, there's some smells,
how do we figure this out
so we can continue doing this?
What about if and when you go down on them?
Do you have to-
Okay, all right.
What?
Oh, I'll speak for all women here, okay?
If a man is going down on a woman
and the woman isn't feeling confident,
she'll give a heads up.
Okay. If a woman ever lets you go down there and it's not good, shame on her.
All right, we can stop there.
I just yeah, that can't be how it ends.
We'll cut that probably.
And on a genuine question, if we need to. I think it's a fine, no, that's a fine answer, Rick, because it's true of other people.
If anybody has questionable down there and someone goes to give you head and you're not
good, that's a sin on you.
Yeah, you know.
That's disgusting.
How does the woman know, how does the woman know if she's...
How does the woman know if she's been, you've been hanging out all day.
Zach.
Same way you know.
Zach, come on, bro.
She takes off her pants, changes,
when was the last time you showered?
You're aware of what's happening with your body.
Zach, if I walk my dog and it was 90 degrees,
I'm not gonna let somebody go down on me until I shower.
I see. Right.
Okay.
Out of respect.
Shout out, Rick.
Thank you.
That's my merch, by the way.
This is educational.
Wait, can I ask you?
Now, they're all-
Wait, hold on, wait.
Why don't you all ask a question, Donald?
Yeah.
I haven't asked shit.
All I'm doing is this. So, this is me, the whole fucking, the whole? Wait, wait, wait. Let Joelle ask a question, Donald. I haven't asked, shit! All I'm doing is this.
Donald, remember though.
So, this is me, the whole fucking,
the whole damn interview, this is me.
So can I, oh, okay, right.
But then there's a, oh, uh, mm, mm, mm.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was hogging the interview.
I was so excited to interview Rick,
but Donald, you go first.
What are your questions?
I have nothing, go ahead, Joelle.
Okay, Joelle.
Donald, don't, remember it, please.
Joelle, you go ahead.
But then, Donald, please, I would love to hear from you.
I haven't talked to you in so long.
I have nothing.
OK.
Rick's going to ask you about the washcloth.
Go ahead, Joelle.
Rick, I was really glad to hear you talk about late diagnosis,
especially for women.
I have ADHD.
I was diagnosed at 30.
It was a hell of a ride trying to get a diagnosis.
Now I am a managing executive producer
and I'm really keyed into hiring people
who are on the spectrum.
My brother is on the spectrum.
Our neuroses manifest in completely different ways.
He's a very socks on, like hyper-specific,
timely person.
I'm very blue, like cabin witch stuff. I don't like my socks on.
I never late because it annoyed people.
And that's one of the first masking techniques I learned was how to be on time.
Because I was like a very high achiever as a kid.
And I was like, I can't ever be late.
They'll hate me.
But when you're trying to hire and work with folks, especially younger people who either
don't have the business know how just just yet or they haven't caught up
to like, how do I work with my specific abilities? You did a whole show where everyone you hired
was on the spectrum. How do you make space professionally, especially when you're maybe
people who are above you are neurotypical and don't understand what it is to be neurodiverse. Yeah, I mean that's its own podcast. I will say that everybody is different.
You take five neurotypical people, they're all different. Five atypical people, same. So like
everybody has their own strengths and obstacles. I think that it starts with what I was talking
about with the curiosity
and being willing to ask questions of these people that you would be hiring, like saying,
hey, here are my deliverables. Which of these do you feel is an obstacle for you? And can
you find a way to do that differently? And if not, that might not be the job for them.
But there are so many different ways to produce a podcast,
to write a show, to act in something, to light,
like so many, maybe not light,
but there's so many different ways you could do stuff
that like maybe just because it's different
doesn't mean it's worse.
It might be better and you just have to,
there's maybe a way to sell this better
than what I'm gonna say,
but you just have to be patient
with learning different ways people, not just work, but communicate.
And by having that kind of diversity, not just necessarily neuro diverse, but
like black people, white people, those are the big two, but like, you know,
people from different, different, different ways, their mind works in
different cultures to work together. But like, the truth is that our show had
somebody that was there that was, she's also on the spectrum. Her name is Elaine Hall. She's
fantastic. She works on Atypical and works with a lot of shows. If there's autistic people,
she's probably involved in it in some way. But what her job was basically there was to facilitate
and to help out people that have their needs.
But what I noticed most of what she was doing
wasn't necessarily helping at least the lead characters
with things that they need,
as much as it was being kind of like a middle person
to the production.
So not translating, but basically in shorthand,
something like that.
And the reason that's necessary is because
not enough people have worked with that kind of diverse
kind of people.
But once they do, then it's just working with somebody
who's a little bit different.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Do you want to ask a question?
Because you made me feel like I hogged the whole interview.
No, I don't want to ask anything.
Rick, first of all, it was nice to meet your parents.
That was really cool.
I see where you get your company from.
I come home all the time.
That's good.
Do you live in the Cleveland area proper?
Yeah, I don't like to say exactly where,
but within 20 minutes of Cleveland.
But I live in Los Angeles, my family lives here. Right but do you do you are you I've talked on a podcast
a lot about the Cleveland cuisine I'm a huge fan of Cleveland Cleveland cuisine great food
great theater here. Great theater I didn't I never were the first stop for all touring
Broadway shows so like not every every show goes to every city,
but every show comes to Cleveland
and comes to Cleveland first.
And we have a great theater district
and there's a lot of, there's a lot of that.
Cleveland's awesome.
And then when LeBron came, obviously he's not anymore,
but truthfully when he came, it changed downtown.
Like everyone was building new flats
and it just became relatively cool
and Cleveland's an awesome place.
The RNC changed a lot of Cleveland four years ago also.
Me and Chris were out there doing a movie right before the election.
And they were building hotels just to house the people for the RNC.
Oh, like a small Olympics, how they just build new stuff.
Right. But these hotels went on to,
cause we came after and so the hotels were still there.
Like they, literally the hotel we were staying in
was built for the RNC, but anyway.
Thank you, Donald.
Those were fascinating questions.
I was just saying, I was saying,
don't cut out the audio.
I was saying, Zach looks so mad.
I'm not mad.
You know, I really, I really, I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad.
I'm not mad.
I love you.
I really had nothing to ask, to be honest with you.
I love you, but you-
But since he gave me the floor, it was good to-
I just love that he's like, Zach's not letting me ask anything.
He's hogging the interview.
I'm like, I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry.
What's your question?
You know I love Cleveland cuisine.
You know I love Cleveland food.
The R&C built good ourselves.
It's delicious.
It's delicious, man.
I had a great time in Cleveland.
That's one of, it was a great time.
It rocks.
I like Cleveland rocks, it does.
You're a great guest.

Go see him live if he ever comes to see you.
The main thing I wanna plug,
the main thing I wanna plug is,
and what I'm so proud of is my podcast.
I think my podcast is awesome. Inches, yes. No, no, no. I appreciate it if I push, but take your shoes off and,
and it's audio and YouTube, but we do a lot of visuals, a lot of, we do live action,
animation and musical scores. And, and, uh, I really like it on, uh, if you're a YouTube
watcher, check out, take your shoes off on YouTube. Yeah. And Donald and I will come on together.
I would love for you guys to.
We will do that.
We will do that because I want Donald
to have the whole experience of being on your show.
Donald, I think you'd like it.
There's great cuisine.
I don't, Rick, I don't do other people's podcasts
because I say a lot of things that
he really doesn't.
will get me in trouble.
I understand.
He needs to save the...
Let me hurdle that.
Hold on, Rick.
Zach, I'll take it from here.
Donald, I got it, Zach. Oh my God, Rick here Donald I got a Zack. Oh my god Rick exact exact Donald
You need to do what I'm doing more up Zack one sec sex. So Donald. Here's what we're gonna do
You're gonna come over
You're gonna love it. It's gonna be great. We're gonna edit it a lot. It's gonna be very fun
I'm going to send it to you and anything you want taken out to the point to where if you go don't even post it
I won't
Okay, bet. I like that idea.
Zach?
I was, I fucking hate you, but I love you.
But I also want to say that, yeah,
I think Donald sometimes needs the safety net
of knowing that he can have someone clip something he says
that he doesn't want to have said
because he enjoys marijuana a lot.
And sometimes his words just-
I get it.
Sometimes, yo, baked thoughts lead to baked mistakes.
You know what I mean?
Merch.
Merch.
That's a great t-shirt.
That's a great t-shirt, Joel.
That's what I'm saying.
Write that down.
Donald, you know...
Put it in quotes and then put a line that says Donald Faze on it and put that on a shirt.
That's from where I'm coming out.
Craig Robinson said the same thing.
Craig Robinson doesn't like going on podcasts because he gets stoned, he doesn't know what
he's going to say, but you guys got Craig on because you guys knew how to handle it.
I think you would love my podcast.
All right.
I mean, you've said some questionable things on this one.
No, he's great.
He's fun. Come on, man.
You're great.
Rick, thank you so much for coming on.

Yeah, what are you saying about space lasers? I didn't say anything about space lasers. What are you saying about the RNC? Yeah, what are you saying about space lasers?

What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as
important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the
ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to
Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to

I'm Dr. Lari Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the US elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than
ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share with the science really shows
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,
and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki,
It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
we'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way
to disagree and still be in relationships with each other.
All that on the Happiness Lab.
