Take Your Shoes Off · Episode 372 · Host: Rick Glassman · Guest: Jeremiah Watkins · Published Sep 18 2026 · Runtime 2:29:21 · Watch: YouTube Overview Rick Glassman welcomes Jeremiah Watkins back for TYSO #372 (3.0) with the usual shoes-off living-room chaos. Cold open covers retreat photos, theme-music resets, plastic-bottle water shame, then Helix Sleep and PrizePicks reads interrupted by Jeremiah loving PrizePicks and Rick’s tour dates (Salt Lake, Philly, Tacoma). Long riff blocks: microphone fart lore (Alvin hair / improv-lab origin), burp-vs-fart condom theology, baby-boy / Aunt Lauren digressions, Mortal Kombat “get over here” loops, car check-engine / posture bits, Jaws “get over” game, comedy-origin webs vs straight-world college, an uncomfortable prior episode that disheartened Jeremiah, standup craft and headliner chip, John Wick dog-death empathy debate, and close plugs for Jeremiah’s YouTube special Intrusive Thoughts.

Stories Plastic bottle in a house with glasses 2:39 Jeremiah brings his own plastic water. Rick audits the hike-vs-house logic: if you’re at someone’s home with water, why the bottle? Sets the shoes-off judgment tone for the next two hours. Fart-in-the-mic guy 15:00 Jeremiah owns the brand — real fart vs fart-joke economy, improv-lab origin, fans mailing fart audio, Alvin-hair prop. Debate whether less fart content would grow the audience; he suspects the opposite of what polite people want. Get over here 29:30 Mortal Kombat Scorpion loop becomes a recurring bit — later remixed into posture advice and a “get over Jaws” game. Pure TYSO ADHD comedy glue. Uncomfortable episode hangover 1:15:00 Someone (prior guest / circle) felt the episode was uncomfortable; Jeremiah called about it the night before. Disheartened beat under the jokes — craft vs people leaving weird.
