Overview of Your Mom's House Ep. 857 with Rick Glassman
In this episode of Your Mom’s House, Tom Segura is joined by comedian Rick Glassman while Christina is away on tour. The conversation is mostly loose, raunchy, and highly improvisational, covering everything from sex preferences and body insecurities to travel habits, dirty talk, comedy careers, social media, and Rick’s upcoming international tour.
Main Conversation Topics
Sex, intimacy, and body talk
- The episode opens with jokingly explicit talk about nipples, balls, and what kinds of touch are “nice but not necessary.”
- Rick shares a real insecurity about a varicocele and having one testicle smaller than the other, and how that affects his comfort during hookups.
- The two riff on dirty talk, pressure during sex, and how confidence and communication matter more than brute force.
- They also discuss the idea that most women don’t orgasm from penetration alone, using that as a springboard for broader talk about sexual communication and technique.
Shoes-off culture, cleanliness, and home rules
- A big recurring bit is Rick’s “take your shoes off” philosophy at home.
- They talk about dirty phones, indoor/outdoor clothes, and the sanitary habits he picked up from Asian households.
- Rick explains his annoyance when guests ask, “Do I have to take my shoes off?” as if the rule is negotiable.
- The conversation turns into a broader riff on who follows house rules, who resists them, and what that says about manners.
Comedy, impressions, and performance
- Rick and Tom talk about impression skills, character work, and how some performers have a natural gift for voices and accents.
- Rick tells a story about bombing at an audition when asked to do impressions, despite preparing the material he was actually told to bring.
- They compare impression ability to something intuitive—you either have it or you don’t.
- The discussion also touches on the “lottery ticket” nature of acting and how many people could technically do the job once they’re in the right room.
Social media, clips, and weird internet content
- A large chunk of the episode is spent watching and reacting to strange TikTok/Instagram clips.
- They critique rage-bait, prank videos, and people posting long clips with “wait for it” intros.
- One clip about a fetish creator and another about a man with a weight-gain kink lead to jokes about audience targeting, algorithmic behavior, and people posting things they should probably send privately instead.
- Tom and Rick are both skeptical of content that feels cruel, staged, or attention-seeking.
Family dynamics and viral clips
- Rick shares a viral video of his parents reacting to a family member not restocking cold sodas, which becomes a funny example of how real family tension can become great content.
- They talk about how the most relatable moments often come from genuine irritation rather than performed comedy.
- Rick notes that he likes making his mom laugh, but it’s even funnier when he pushes her just enough to get a real reaction.
Eating meat, hunting, and animal ethics
- The conversation shifts into meat consumption, slaughterhouses, and the discomfort of seeing where food comes from.
- Rick says he’s not vegetarian, but he eats meatless some days because slaughterhouse imagery bothers him.
- They compare hunting and factory farming, with Rick saying hunting at least feels more direct and accountable.
- This turns into a broader discussion about discomfort, hypocrisy, and how much people want to know about the process behind what they consume.
Comedy work, audience reaction, and fan outreach
- Rick and Tom discuss comedy clubs like Comedy Works in Denver and how strong audiences can make a show feel electric.
- Rick brings up a missed connection with a beautiful Asian woman in the audience and openly wonders if she might somehow find the episode.
- They spend a lot of time riffing on the idea of fan comments, audience chemistry, and whether someone might recognize themselves from the story.
Notable Running Jokes and Bits
- “Take your shoes off” becomes the episode’s unofficial thesis.
- Rick repeatedly jokes about his left testicle being smaller and how he’d rather not have that noticed.
- Tom and Rick mock the idea of “small talk dirty talk,” preferring direct sexual communication.
- They joke about “white guys in boots,” fake height, and comedian stereotypes.

- Dublin or Berlin
