What’s his relationship to shoes?

Todd Glass’ most endearing traits—his brashness and unyielding sense of compassion—are seemingly at odds with each other. But on the latest episode of Box Angeles, he shows that it’s this contrast that makes him such a great comedian. He speaks affectionately of his family, work, and cohost Mike Elder one moment, then has no problem lashing out with a tongue-in-cheek “fuck you!” whenever Elder pays him a compliment. It’s also a compelling episode because of Glass’ rituals. One of the best parts of Box Angeles is when Elder asks his guest about their artistic and leisurely habits (a ritual of his own for each installment), and it turns out Glass has an affinity for the showmanship of musicians like Wayne Newton and Paul Anka. While both artists have an undeniable cheese factor, they also have an undeniable command of the stage, mirroring the juxtaposition found in the comedian’s own personality. And don’t worry, fans of U Talkin’ U2 To Me?, Elder makes sure to ask him about Staind as well.
