- This is based on a true story of Rick getting kicked out of his weekly basketball game in 2016 for being... too good?

I was in an indoor, invite only, basketball game for 4 years when the "president" of the game (played by Joel McHale) sent me an E-mail. In it, he explained how people felt about me. It was a tough e-mail to read, but it was also a very kind e-mail to receive. It brought a lot of awareness to me that I was lacking, and, ultimately, lead to me getting my ASD 1 (autism) diagnoses.
I speak more on this in the episode with said bball game president: • Bill Lawrence (TV Show...

Never clicked faster and boy are my arms tired.
Snap
Same dude haha
😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂
Facts
“If I can’t get it to you in under a week it’ll be over a month” that was so real as anyone in the creative field 😂😂
No ads on this video, so if you wanna hear the full “I Am Phenomenal” song/video, it’s available www.Patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff.
Awesome video
LOVE YA RICK. IF YOU REPLY I'LL BUY ALL YOUR MERCH AND THEN YOU CAN SCREAM I AM PHENOMENAAAAAAL.
No ads on a 15 minute video. What a mensch so damn generous of you.
Sweet flix Glassman....
Zeus
The Letterman of Podcasting!!
That part where the engineer goes “I’ll have it done in less than a week, but if it takes more than a week it’ll take more than a month” was such a niche joke for music creators, gotta love it
Yeah I felt it
Video editors too 😂🤫
The fact that Rick wasn't cast in the White Men Can't Jump remake is one of the greatest injustices this world has ever known.
That’s such a shame
It really is a shame. I hope there is still time to tuck him in the movie somewhere
The problem is that he can jump tho
Good thing because that was one of the worst movies i have seen in awhile
I thought it was called "white guys can't act"
That was a truly original way of weaving the struggles of autism in with the humor. You're very talented!
I'm in an office depot. I've been in line for almost 40 minutes. 10 seconds ago I was not happy at all. This video popped up and I'm ear to ear smiling.
Office Depot needs to hire more cashiers. 40 mins is nuts
Office Depot? What is this, the 90s... And boy your arms must be tired.
Wtf were they giving bjs to completion to every purchase of a dollar or more?
Why wouldn't you just steal whatever you went in there for? Or just carry cash/change from not on. Just drop it on the counter and leave. No cop is going to chase you down for that shit
Doug: yes, they do. There was one person at the printing center and she was backed way up. People were in line being assholes on top of it. Poor kid.
NB: Yes. No, not for like another 70 years, no.... and boy are they?
Jags: Why do you think the line was so long?!?
Po Boy: I'm black.
The tale of a man who couldn’t untie his double-knotted shoes, to a friend who’s got us all taking off our own.
Fucking poetic and couldn’t agree more. Our hat’s off to you, Rick

Why did this bring a tear to my eye?
This comment is brilliant. 👏🏼
I read that in the movie trailer voice, which I’m sure was intended. Great comment.
if this was a series id tune into every episode. This was truly Phenomenal
I’d love to see this version of Rick coach a middle school basketball team.
This is actually the closest thing to a pilot debuting on UA-cam that I’ve ever seen great job Rick!
Haters will say it’s a rip off of Dave. Someone who raps, balls and a comedian.
The origins of Rick "Clean The Glass" Glassman. So glad we all get to finally watch this.
How does this not have at LEAST a million views, this is pure gold.
Joel McHale being credited as playing Bill Winger is such a clever shout out to Bill Lawrence and Community. IYKYK
Bravo, Rick!!! I don't think people realize just how much work goes into writing, shooting, and editing all this (and I have this feeling you did almost all of the editing yourself). Great job!
Are you a filmmaker?
Thank you but I had a lot of help. And the editor was JonMichael. Though I worked with him on this, he was the one on the front lines at the beginning and he added SO much to this and it wouldn’t have been as good if he wasn’t part of the process.
@@rickglassman apologies to JonMichael! Just finished the Delia episode and saw that he was mentioned during a segment and I thought about doubling back to delete this comment, but I’m glad you responded and gave him his flowers.
@squibbelsmcjohnson
Yeah, and the credits show the number of people who worked on this short.
@@rickglassman does JonMichael exist? Is this a running bit? I can never tell with you :D
This is ridiculously awesome, Rick deserves far more credit man… how does this not have at least a million views
Brett saying “sprinkles” when he shot made me laugh so hard
Rick, you continue to impress me more and more with everything you do. One of the most unique minds of today and we are fortunate enough to live in the same time as you!
This was fantastic Rick. Just always a treat to see where your mind is gonna take us, especially on these kind of projects. Funny, relatable, heartwarming. Excellent work. Your attention to detail in comedic timing and edits is neither unnoticed nor underappreciated. And the same can be said for your basketball ability now as well.
The Space Jam reference has me dying in the opening seconds🤣🤣
But even with it being so funny, the quality had me feeling genuine nostalgia.
“But if I don’t have it done in less than a week, it might be a little bit over a month.” 😅 that’s me
Damn, I didn't expect Glassman to have that amount of ball skills. At least not basketball ones. Well done.
That wild face he made backpedaling made me laugh for a whole minute. i was just imagining someone actual doing that, id be terrified
Been waiting for this!
The quality of this is fantastic, especially the editing. Well done.
It is pretty wild that most of us will just grow resentment and hate a person instead of letting them know they're doing something that might bother us
Well its mostly because if you say something bothers you then you're the a-hole/ difficult/ sensitive one. You need to have at least one other persons agreement for anything to be worth anything, if youre a woman then double that
Lmao ummmmm
Not wild at all. You can’t change people unless they want to
@@47Goonz1Maybe they want to
First Rick gave us "The Sixth Lead", now we have "I Am Phenomenal". If I were wearing a hat rn, I would take it off.
Instead you can Take Your Shoes Off 😉
@@causeimdeep Ahh, nice. I didn't even think of that, haha.
I went through this recently at a less extreme level. This made me feel way better. I was already a fan of the podcast but decided to check this out, apparently at the perfect time. Neurodivergence is hard.
I can't believe you actually released this on the day I'm 37. I'm 37 today. No, really I was 36 yesterday. Thanks Rick!
Mr. Assman you're a funny guy. I like your weird energy and always off timing in podcasts. It's endearing. This is also a masterpiece
Ricks behind the back pass to Brents "are you fuckin nuts?" killed me.
OK but sequel please? This made me cry laughing and also, I'll admit, tear up *very slightly* because there were things that resonated with my own journey.
P.S. THE STRUGGLE OF UNTYING DOUBLE-KNOTTED SHOES, YOU KNOW!!
Want some "eat my butt" merch? Just Eat It at www.rickglassman.com/store
Awesome work Rick!
i want the full “eat my butt” track!
You don't pass the ball enough
That’s what I said.
I genuinely come back and watch this once a month.
It's so difficult to explain but there is something so surreal and yet so real about this bit.
That intro though, editing on point as always!
Seconded
Oh man this was awesome and hilarious. I think we all could relate to an impactful time someone was brave enough to share the truth. More of this kind of stuff would be awesome!
Been waiting for this to drop allll day. And boy are my arms tired.
"yo the part where you said eat my butt, i think thats dope man" LMAO
This is a microcosm of more serious things
REPLENISH
Brent hurriedly playing good defense while yelling CMON RICK while he ties his shoes is and has been the highlight of this for me.
This was amazing. Rick Glassman is an auteur, and phenomenal at basketball, and freestyling, and introspection. Mazel tov and thank you
Worth the wait and I hope he puts out that full song. This whole thing is 🔥
Also hope him and Lamorne make a show or podcast together every time they’re together it’s hilarious
I was wondering if this would ever come out or if it were just a huge troll, love it either way and I'm hyped to watch it!!
Been waiting for you to drop this.
Helll yeaaaaa
This was phenomenal! I love seeing Rick & his friends create together
Hi Seazon I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. The entire rapping part is the greatest rap of all time. And unironically being good at basketball around people that aren't and also the whole rap vibe just resonates with me so much hahahahaha.
💀🤡
Terrific.. and by the by, Hans Zimmer building up under the pep talk at the end was beautiful.
It's from the Lion King. Hilarious choice!
As a hooper I can so relate with the double knotting struggle. Stay strong Rick. Maybe I'll see you at the rim one day.
The "since i was a young teen, everybody was mean" cadence is so good.
Worth the wait!
LOVE seeing this getting a bunch of views. Not many mainly podcast channels can upload something else and have it do bigger numbers than some of the regular eps. Testament to the quality and way Rick hyped it up. Super cool stuff
How did I miss this dude...
Just watched him on tfatk..fucking hilarious.
How does this not have more views & likes? Phenomenal work, Rick.
This is about to blow the absolute fuck up. This is better than a special.
This was great. I've been waiting for this!
Instant classic.
Those scenes were really funny. Haven't watch anything that's longer than 37 seconds in two years.
Hahahahahaha
@@rickglassman I can't be mad at you for boosting the algorithm, but give me more than 2 letters. Seeing you answered and reading your answer was a real emotional rollercoaster, a bit like when a friend I haven't heard from in years calls me to ask me for some other old friend's phone number.
Definitely worth the wait!!
A Rick glassman joint. Lol you really are the man Rick.
Literally, phenomenal editing and this was such a treat to watch lol.
Holy shit, I know this song almost entirely already 😂

This is like Curb Your Enthusiasm for millennials in the best ways possible. Please make a fucking series off of this!!! Somebody sign this man for a season spinoff of this one off gem.
So good man! I'm proud of how far you've come. I've been watching the pod since episode 1 and I'm glad to see you finally getting recognition that you deserve for your extremely hard work. Keep it up Rick!
That’s what she said
Anything Rick Glassman creates is phenomenal! :-)
Please keep it coming Mr Glassman🙂
Been waiting for this DROP!!!
Rick is the only comedian that can literally make me go “HAHAAaa” it’s basically the comedic equivalent to a Ohhhhyeaaahh 😂
Well worth the wait. Great job Rick. Dare I say it's phenomenal
What a Monday cure this is. Perfect, Rick. 🤘🏼
This is great. I love Joel Mchale ❤ You should do another interview with him🎉
Whoa, we need more Young Rick if you have the footage! This was fun but left me wanting more
That’s what she said
New sub here after seeing him on another podcast…he’s instantly become one of my favorite people in the business lol. Hilarious ass dude!
No idea what I just watched, and I couldn't be happier.
This is hilarious! The production values are great, well done Rick! I wish this was an actual show. I'd definitely watch it.
Wouldn’t expect anything less from Rick. Great and unique
Rick, just wanted to say I suffered and still suffer from PANDAS OCD, and your content is pure gold.
I find Rick hilarious. Not the biggest fan of his podcast but just the thought of him strolling onto some casual comedy basketball league game and going full fucking savage mode draining 3s in their face while talking shit is amazing
Hilarious , ." Why are you squinting " ??? I had earbuds in and i LITERALLY laughed out loud and had people staring at me 😮😂😅..
I wanna say this now only being about 25 seconds in, this thing looks like something I could watch as a feature film
Mr. RG, sir. I must say...this is f'n gold!! 🤏🎩
The day has finally come! I feel like a kid on Jewish Christmas.
I’m dead 🤣 💀 been waiting for this hahaha x
I actually, zero irony here - really, really like this song. legitimately. I was also very amused by all the comedy and it helped a lot that the producer is a good actor, also.
Brent falling down and saying “are you nuts” is the coolest moment!
Rick you might have found a lane in these comedic shorts. Joel was a great idea too his comedic acting meshed very well. We want more 😝
Awesome. I was searching for this the past few weeks
production is dare i say phenomenal rick
Rick, Rick? Rick, I'm so happy to finally see this. I didn't want it to end. It was just like you, phenomenal. 🔥🏀👏🏼

Highly underrated; he will be super famous in the next couple of years
So good. Love TYSO from the beginning. Good to see comedy like this coming out. I hope Rick gets more opportunities to make a show or somethin, but on a network or stream service that allows for the gnarly language.
The long awaited piece finally comes together! great work Rick and team, awesome stuff!
God, it's literally only at 0:20, and I'm already cracking up at the random ass clip of some girl just whiffing it, total airball. You're VICIOUS, Rick.
this was phenomenal.
That’s what she said
Congrats on the video, Rick, it turned out great!
Can't wait to see what you do next man
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
So excited I ran to UA-cam to watch and boy are my arms tired.
You’re the stuff of legends.
Appreciate the hustle and production ricky
I am officially a stan. This shit had me dying of laughter 😂😂😂
