Rick Glassman recently took to Instagram to share a surprise gift from his fans: a full set of custom trading cards inspired by his podcast, Take Your Shoes Off. In a post on May 10, the comedian and actor wrote, “I don’t know who submitted this, but awesome! www.TYSOCARDS.com,” alongside an image of beautifully designed cards neatly organized in a binder.
Fan-created Trading Cards Spark Buzz
The fan-made cards feature illustrations and trivia highlighting memorable moments from TYSO, which Glassman launched in 2018. Each card spotlights guests, classic segments and running jokes, evoking nostalgia for longtime listeners while inviting newcomers to explore the show’s vault of hilarious conversations. After sharing the image, Glassman’s post quickly amassed thousands of likes and hundreds of comments praising the creativity and attention to detail.
“I’ve seen some incredible artwork over the years, but this set really blew me away,” Glassman told followers in the comments. Fans also flooded the thread with their own suggestions for future cards, from guest host Adam Ray to memorable bits like the “Foot Fetish Survey.” Several users noted they’ve already placed orders at www.tysocards.com, a site now buzzing with traffic from the actor’s endorsement.
Inside Take Your Shoes Off And Its Community
Take Your Shoes Off has grown from a passion project into a cornerstone of Glassman’s digital presence. Originally a spin-off of his interview series on YouTube, the podcast features unfiltered chats with comedians and entertainers about comedy, mental health and everyday oddities. It averages more than 680,000 views per day, according to an April update on Glassman’s feed.
In an Instagram post from April 2023, he teased plans to open collectible packs on YouTube, asking followers, “Do you/have you ever played Magic or Final Fantasy??” That same month, Glassman thanked fans for their continued support: “Over 680,000 views/day! Thank you all for watching and liking what we are making.” Such milestones underscore the show’s strong bond with its audience, who now celebrate its legacy with trading cards.
Guests have ranged from Paul Rudd—whose episode was briefly delayed by a YouTube flag issue—to Jordan Jensen and Brent Morin, who reminisced about offbeat moments like kissing a clown. Each conversation adds a layer of authenticity to the podcast and, now, to the collectible cards that immortalize those moments.
Digital Engagement And Future Plans
Glassman’s Instagram feed also highlights live events tied to the TYSO brand. In mid-May, he promoted a live taping at the San Jose Improv and a Punch Up Live show in Los Angeles. Tickets for both sold out within days, reflecting the podcast’s growing cultural footprint.
Beyond shows and social media, Glassman is exploring new ways to engage fans. The trading card phenomenon could pave the way for limited-edition merchandise, virtual events and even game nights where collectors trade and debate card rarities. He’s hinted at unboxing videos and special guest appearances in upcoming episodes, promising fresh surprises for TYSO enthusiasts.
While Rick Glassman is best known for his role as Spence in Netflix’s Atypical and as a cast member of NBC’s Undateable, it’s his offbeat internet presence that continues to captivate fans. By embracing fan creations like the TYSO trading cards, he reinforces the idea that this community is not just an audience—it’s a creative collective.
The unexpected reveal of custom Take Your Shoes Off cards is more than a fun diversion; it’s a testament to the podcast’s impact and the loyalty of its listeners. As the project evolves, one thing is clear: Glassman’s fans are ready to roll out the next big idea—and he’s more than happy to share the spotlight.
