The patience and emotional control necessary to navigate a conversation like this is beyond me.

I feel like Rick has laid on a couch and talked to a therapist about Tony on more than one visit.

This is the oddest podcast I’ve heard. I’m a half hour in and I feel like two cars are driving really slowly, but right for each other lmao

Felt some real tension there. Great episode!

Rick, this podcast is great. I just feel like you need to hear that as often as possible, because the views are not at all comparable to the quality at the moment.

I am a massive Tony Hinchcliffe fan. I've watched hundreds of hours of Kill Tony and have yet to see anyone command a room like he does. That said, Tony's got some serious issues. Maybe those issues allow him to operate at the level that he does, I don't know. I applaud Rick for embarking on a conversation like this with him. If communicative intelligence is a thing, then Rick's at the top of the class. But to have a completely good faith conversation with Tony, especially around the topic of his ego and the way his personality has developed so heavily around it, which is what the elephant in the room was here, it's a tall ass order. Huge respect for you Rick, you earned a new fan.

Rick was in full attack mode here .

such a genuine and honest conversation, can be harsh but they both handled it so well. amazing podcast

wow this was fantastic. it was heated, emotional, and still had deep conversation about true art and each of your different definitions of it. There were moments were i thought this would go off the rails, but you guys kept it on track and made a hell of a podcast. long time Tony Hinchcliffe fan and new Rick Glassman fan here to say jesus... that was a good podcast.

Lmao Tony laughing at his own jokes being presented to him as bullying.

I respect rick a lot after this episode. He spoke up for his friend, he spoke his mind and more importantly it's refreshing for someone to just openly say what they are feeling

Tony the the gay villain magician

I wish I could navigate difficult conversations the way daddy Rick does. He's really great at framing his point of view.

I'm a long time fan of Tony and new fan of Glassman. It's a wild dynamic

Weird energy podcast but I appreciate that you both stuck to, and articulated, your views how you did 👏

You guys really have a fraternal chemistry. Honestly I've seen Kill Tony only a few times because it just seems like torture porn watching people getting burned alive - but the rare good moments are when Tony speaks genuinely and supportively to people who he believes have a chance at comedy. This episode really insisted on getting my full attention with tough moments but it was worth it to hear the admission that he always knew you were working on something great and have now become a timing GURU! KUTGW!

Great ep Rick. There's nothing like a friend having another friend's back.

That first joke from Tony, “how many roommates..” - i laughed out loud. 😆

I think there is more crossover between these comedy fanbases than these two would expect.

Maybe it’s not the most professional thing to invite someone on the podcast just to bring up old shit right away but it’s fun to watch 😹 Love you so much! Just discovered the podcast like last week & I’ve been binge watching ever since ☺️

I just discovered Rick Glassman last week and have been binging and telling everyone about how funny, but more importantly reflective he is. It’s so refreshing to listen to a comedy podcast that encompasses real conversations with REAL emotion. Tony was a great guest on this show!

14:32 THE WIT on Rick Glassman's callback about the headphones. 100% absolutely an instant fan of this guy. Holy shit.

With how fast Tony’s mind seems to run its impressive how still he’s able to sit

Actually interrupted Something's Burning to watch this, Tony and Rick in a room can't not be awesome!

How Rick interrupted Tony saying "you are a timing guru" was perfect. That's wit

I've become very appreciative of your straightforward, honest self-reflection. There's something equally mesmerizing and endearing watching someone with the ability to witness and evaluate their own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes. I thoroughly enjoy TYSO and have become quite the fan. Thanks for the content even when it may seem thanksless.

This was like a therapy session. I can see where both guys are coming from. Tony holds stand up comedy as the highest pedestal and felt Jon never made it. But Rick feels Jon has had success, just in a different form of comedy.

I totally appreciate when two people can have a tense conversation, without name calling, fits, or any childish behavior! Just an honest discussion about two very different perspectives! The world will always need more of this

So who’s next? Mark normand ? Everyone go Message mark normand into ricks DMs

Really thought Rick was kind of a hack because of my bias for KT Show when I originally saw this. I %100 take it back. Rick is incredible at podcasting; so many hilarious and memorable pods the last 2 years. We need 2.0

LOVED THIS EP. I’m a huge tony fan so it was cool to see y’all dig deep with the topics. and y’all are both unable to NOT be honest which is what makes this ep so great. Even bringing the stuff up y’all talked about is a brave move which makes for raw and epic content. Don’t change the format this is perfect. Hahahahaha

I've listened to this pod 4 times now and it's just as entertaining the 4th time. I love both these guys and the tension and respect shown here just keeps bringing me back.

this episode was great. and the way you talked about the office perfectly summed it up. been watching since bobby lee

I found myself feeling anxious during this. I know why, but it's too much to type in this format. I'd really enjoy another episode with Tony Hinchcliffe.

Tony, I've been a fan of yours since 2010 and I love Rick too. So I am a fan of both of you. You two have really original comedy perspectives and both of you are equally as hilarious ❤👌🤣

The pie chart at 38:35 is killing me LMAOOOOO

i love you for asking and confronting tony with these questions.

This tension in the air was so powerful I could taste it. And it tasted good. About to search for another Rick Glassman Tony H ep. Two of my favorite comedy personalities.

This was perfect. The both of you expressed yourselves perfectly. Real conversations about real shit. I was worried it would get dicey while dissecting past thoughts and actions but it was conversationally smooth sailing

You do NOT seem like friends lol. I am literally waiting for the wrestling heel chair move any minute.

1:09:49 I just learned of Rick today and I've been watching Kill Tony for about a year. I'm all in on this show. Rick is a fucking all star and roasted the roast master with that line about having his guy Jon on episode one. Fucking bravo, standing ovation. I rewatched that exchange 3 times in a row.

Legitimately impressed every time I see the Marshall Carpet One commercial. Rick crushes it so hard.

It's about time people are realizing what a quality podcast is and are subscribing to TYSO. Glassman Bopper check-in!

Really enjoyed the dynamic between these two. Great content 👌🏼

This is the ONLY podcast i havent turned off when tony was on. You're doing good Rick!

This was incredible.

Great episode. Makes me love Rick even more!

I met Tony once, he shook my hand and was a really nice guy to me. I would like to meet Rick too some day. That would be rad.

I was breezing...snapping through and had to plant myself and listen hard. One of the best honesty comedy direction pods on Tony .

Rick I loved how I learned about you through the industry plant Bobbi. But you’re x1000000 better than other guest / hosts and just an overall great comic!

I don't think most viewers will truly understand the greatness in this episode. The high level conversation between two real artists, masters of their craft on their disagreements, different perspectives and different approaches to said craft. Just so happens the art becomes a career and essentially their entire lives so the disagreements tend to be perceived as personal attacks. Very interesting and eye opening to things about humanity in general.

Great pod, can't wait to see you on Kill Tony

Now YOU have to be a panel guest on Kill Tony.

I think this is a fantastic episode. It is so real and authentic. Hope to see you on Kill Tony soon! I think you’d crush it!

i appreciate the real convo! Thanks! Conflict is real

Jesus Tony is brutally honest even outside of KT 😂 such an underrated podcast & episode! As an old fan of Tony & KT & a new fan of Rick it was almost hard to watch yet I couldn’t look away. I just wanted you 2 to reconcile or find common ground so bad it’s odd. Hell of a show though 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love you and tony both in different ways and this was a great podcast to listen to!

This episode should be called "being insecure with tony hinchcliffe".

Best argumentative conversation between two guys in socks that I've ever seen.

Subscribed after 5 minutes. Love it!

I watch every episode of Kill Tony and TYSO. Huge fan of both of you guys and I can totally understand the situation you found yourselves in based on the personality differences. People are quick to judge Tony for his snarky, narcissistic attitude but I don't think he is usually coming from a bad place even though he's too self-assured for most people to swallow. Seems like you realize that about him and though it has bothered you at times you've come to realize he's a pretty good dude and a great, hard working comic like yourself. Very interesting to see though I wish a little less time was spent on it and that it wasn't the focus of the episode. Would've loved to hear more about the good moments since then and what you two share in common to bring it all back together. I think he had a good point that it wasn't the best thing for you to have a friend to encourage what for all intents and purposes could be considered "bad comedy" or bombing if the goal is only to get better. But I can see where you were coming from too and his honesty was probably just too blunt/forward and came off as disrespectful which I could totally see given his personality, especially if you didnt really know him intimately at the time. Seems like that's just who he is. Not doing it to hurt you or Jon but just telling you bluntly how he felt about it, probably with some animosity built in. Anyways, I thought it was a great episode and I can't wait to see you blow up. You're getting great guests and you're better and better every week at interviewing and getting to the juicy topics. You can officially consider me a Shoes Off Bopper Goblin For Life (SOBGFL). Also, definitely take the invitation to Kill Tony, that would be a fucking awesome episode and I would love to see how you do on that show given your personality and quick wittedness. Keep Ballin.

I’ve watched maybe over half the tyso episodes. This one is one of my top 5 for sure. Conflict that is overcome? Friends becoming enemies becoming friends? It’s beautiful drama. Perfection! Plus all the comedy and comedy store talk, this one is a total gem

Total Maron move to work through old beef, loved it. Jon DeWalt 3.0 brought me here and man, I hope that my friends would defend me the way you defended Jon. Rick, you are a good dude.

We ever getting a TONY 2.0!?

A masterclass on taking your craft too seriously, by: Tony Hinchcliffe.

Rick is as real as it gets. And so is The Golden Pony. This is a fantastic podcast

Dayum! This is a great episode.

Just found the podcast! Instantly loved and subscribed! I was actually a Kill Tony Fan first and I find you both hilarious! Great ep

This isn't funny, but it oozes authenticity and that makes it great. While never a huge fan of his standup or podcast, I've a newfound respect for Tony as a person. Unflinching honesty is rare. My admiration for Rick has only grown with this episode. He's one of the funniest guys on the planet, but also a real one.

People are never prepared for the honesty of Tony Hinchcliffe.

I watched this episode, knowing Tony's standup, and went to check out kill tony and got immediately hooked. Watched hours non-stop! Can't wait to see Rick on an episode

I know this is old, but I watched this episode because of Tony Hinchcliffe. I love you both! Great people

Great podcast man. I can’t believe your numbers aren’t blowing up. It has to happen soon. Keep it up!

I always think in scenarios like this that we forget before the editing and show vibe, this is two guys sitting across from each other with no audience or crew to back them up, when the camera cuts they are still in that room, Rick had to walk Tony to the door, make small talk, wait for Tony to put on his shoes and then probably awkwardly hug it out and once that door closed....both of them got straight on the phone to vent, Rick of course to Jon "you'll never guess what!?"

Who cares about my comment, but as a long time tony H fan, detailed viewer of Killy tony for every episode up to 200, and a newer fan of Rick, I find this conversation to be fantastic. I'm glad it's here. Thanks to you both. Particularly around 35:00 minutes in. For seeing Rick NOW, and Tony NOW in this real conflict, and how they deal with it was just great!

Tony made him look petty lol

Scoot’a’doo, a bleppity’blooo, scoot’a’dee’hee: OH YEAHHHHH! Hell yes! Brangin’. The. Funk. Damnit. Glass-time.

This episode was beautiful.

Fan of both you guys and I just started getting into you recently, Rick. Loved the episode. It was awesome seeing this side of Tony and and hearing the history between you two. Also I stay down the street from de rug gallery

This has to be the best produced and edited podcast out there! Very entertaining!

Tony is so honest and sometimes it hurts lol

Begging for a 2.0 I’ve rewatched this so many times

New Glassman fan. Love Hinchcliffe. This episode was a treat.

I loved this one. It was like driving through the Ohio River valley (which is where im from). Can't wait to see Rick on Kill Tony !

Tony is the most serious stand up comedian I have ever seen :D

i found the stories and insight into the business side of Kill Tony and The Comedy Store intriguing...uuhh.amazing..uhhh.. hilarious...uhhh..great show

This was a great watch, learnt a lot!

Hearing about the comedy store potluck, really sounds like Tony evolved on it to make Kill Tony

I like the way you stick up for your friends man.

I watch both Kill Tony and Take Your Shoes Off.

Absolve amazing unique podcast. Props to Rick and tony for keeping it real

I think this was an awesome podcast, Rick! I love that inside baseball type of talk!

5:00 The body language of Tony judging Rick's table and Rick becoming defensive is amazing

how did I miss this one? LMAO Tony was totally projecting at the end. I have A LOT more respect for him after listening to this

Tony is the fucking man. It’s so refreshing to see a guy with confidence that sticks to his fucking guns, can back up everything he says because he has integrity and principles.

I watch Rick as much for the comedy as the insight and control over his own emotions and conversation. Bravo

Tony’s shadow ban goes deep, can’t even find this video

I can totally see Hinchcliffe being a bully to a new comic coming in. Not in a bad way though. Not literally trying to hurt people but just busting their balls, but maybe being a little too hard.

This was a great episode!

I like your psychology and breakdown of the craft and techniques of stand-up, art, and performance.
