- Having a podcast allows us to showcase some incredible people, and this week is no different... This week's guest isn’t our typical comedian/entertainer, but he is THE PROFESSOR!… Of Tolarian Community College, which isn’t so much a college and actually a #1 Magic The Gathering RUclips channel!
If you aren't too familiar with Magic The Gathering, it doesn't matter because this episode is about so much more than just a trading card game (that being said, during this episode, Rick DOES open a package that contains a very rare, early 90's booster box).
Immediately The professor (aka Brian Lewis) and Rick bond over similar anxieties and being uncomfortable in the world outside their safety net.
Brian recounts his friendless childhood, barking like a dog at school, and being likened to Forest Gump as a teen. Rick connects to Brian's inability to find his tribe and finds a through line in his own life with finding comedy.
Now running a successful RUclips with hundreds of thousands of subscribers and a lucrative patron, Brian insists that “The Gathering” remains the most important part of playing the game.
Rick unpacks Brian's career from Teachers assistant to successful RUclipsr, his opinions on collectables and how Magic The Gathering ’s rules make it easier to navigate than this complicated world.
This is the episode for anyone who didn’t fit in at school or is still looking for their community… he goes to show that everyone can find their people and become VERY successful in doing so.
Oh and of course this weeks sponsors! Supporting them supports the podcast and really helps us create content.

I got my TYSO first edition wolverine card last week and I was SO happy that he was thoughtful enough to ship it in a SLEEVE! I was concerned about it being shipped but I should've known Rick had thought of that already. Love the attention to detail. Card is first class! Thanks, Rick!
You KNOW I'm shipping these foil #TYSOcards properly.
@@rickglassman Yea thanks Rick I was thinking the same thing. did not expect you to go above and beyond with the sleeve! your the man!
Géminis duerme
✅ Sleeve
✅ Top Loader
✅ 2nd Sleeve
Got mine as well, great shipping, and I'm planning on organizing them behind my Marvel Universe set. Have you considered a subscription type thing for the cards?
@@rickglassman I ship tcg singles. This is the way.
Thanks so much for having me on! Let's get some games soon!
Revised, Mirage, Tempest sealed draft?!
Thank you for a great episode
Thank you!!
I would definitely pay to see that game
fantastic episode brian
I'm watching this as Prof is reaching 1M subscribers! Didn't even realize this was a 3yr+ old video. Loved it
Same! The algorithm just decided it was time. Great episode and not something I expected lol
Same. Gotta love the algorithm lol 😂
I know 0 about magic but I love watching people talk about their passion.
Passionate people are my spirit animal
100
I love magic, but that is what brought me to Rick's channel. Seeing him talk to Bert on his podcast about his passion for magic made me sub here.
I play MTG and The Professor is such a cool dude. Like there is a schoolyard reaction for a lot of people to make fun of him, but he is earnest and honest that he rides above it all.
Why not give it a try its fun!
Holy crap! Glassman and the Professor !? It’s like worlds colliding for me 🤯
Same same this is so weird/cool
More unexpected crossover than all of Fortnite
"You're on RUclips??"
My mans Brian straight Kenobi'd Glassman like that. Cold blooded.
I understood that reference.
@@grimbeefers same
Such an entertaining episode, the Professor is such a genuine & likeable human being. Please have him on again!!
would love to see that Merfolks vs Rebirth game!
I would really like to see the professor on again.
I know nothing about Magic: The Gathering and have no interest in collecting or playing, but I absolutely adored this episode! So cool to watch two people be this passionate for two hours and it's exactly what I needed to watch today. Thank you Rick and The Professor!
Totally agree!!
Rick is the only person who can do a podcast with someone I've never heard of, about a subject I have no interest in.....and still have me 100% captivated
Never heard of this Rick guy till the other day. It’s wild he has the professor on!
Lmao I completely agree.
Them: Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious cross-over of all time. Rick Glassman: Hold my deck.
"If you wanted cool and with it, you've got the wrong person." Lmao I'm already loving this guy.
Magic is honestly so fucking fun, people should try it.
Put that shit on a billboard
I never understood why it was so fun until my friend hooked me up with a blue, white and green deck, explained every card and how it was used and walked me through SEVERAL games. lol. But to me now it’s one of the greatest games ever created. That’s just my take though.
Can attest!
I haven't played played since urzas block, 98ish Era, but watched the Post Malone Game Knights episode and basically shit my face off. The game is meth chess, and it's fucking incredible.
I would not be shocked if Brian’s parents owned a rug store.
Big nerd but not a magic guy, but this story the prof is telling about losing his podcast audio is so endearing. Ready for a great ep EDIT: yep I love this guy. So fucking likeable
The Professor looks like a Jeff Bridges Sean Bean hybrid and it is quite a handsome look ☺️
I'd like to add Jeff Daniels to the mix (look and voice), if I could!
I thought he looks like a young Ozzy
These comments make me really happy.
Be this man's friend, Rick! I can see the genuine bond betwixt you two.
I didn't know about this guy but this was the most enjoyable thing i've seen. I always enjoy Ricks openness and how he has to explain his behavior to the guest. I get second hand anxiety watching stuff sometimes and when people are open about how they feel and try to clear up things in advance it always helps me, as dumb as all that sounds
"I'm still worthless at the fireworks, but its a [much better feeling]" hit me really hard. I'm just standing here with my headphones on, making eggs, listen to some MTG talk, and now I'm crying because nothing ever sounded so accurate before now.
Dude five minutes in (on Spotify) I already love this dude. He's so vulnerable and honest just like you. That missed recording story, where his mic was turned off was so heart breaking, and real. Thanks for continuing to make such a good podcast, Rick.
I am Italian and I immediately apologize for my English.
I discovered The Professor a few months ago and I'm very sorry for his infancy.
I immediately became very fond of him and I have to thank him.
I've been playing Magic the gathering since 2005 and had lost the passion a bit.
Thanks to his videos, his charisma and his friendliness I went back to loving the game and interpreting it in another way, his way: playing and having fun together.
Thank you Professor for your videos. Thank you for everything from a huge Italian fan of yours.
English was perfect except “sorry for your infancy”. The words are good but the meaning together is not. But yea I feel the same. He helped my passion for the game too after a long time away from the game.
I'm not even into Magic but this episode was just so relatable.
I've just shuffled all my Magic the Gathering cards in plastic sleeves today and boy... are my arms tired
I know absolutely nothing about Magic: The Gathering but I stayed because The Professor is such a lovable guy! I wanna give this dude a hug and have a game night with him.
Honestly, watching this has made me much more interested in learning about Magic :)
Do it! Id start with card kingdoms starter decks, and then I'd check out pauper if I were you, let's you play a competitive format for not a lot of money. If you like the environment and want to "invest" you should check out modern for a fast paced competitive environment. If you're more into it for the social aspect, playing Commander could be up your alley too.
This is one of the most beautiful conversations I have ever listened in on.
Not a disingenuous bone in the Prof's body! Can't think of a single reviewer in any industry or topic with more integrity.
This is insane, it's like my two worlds have collided.
Same I couldn't believe it.
20mins in and im already so happy the professor and rick got together dude, love them.
This is absolutely amazing!!!! THIS GUEST IS CERTIFIED BGS 10 MYTHIC RARE
57:38 I am really vibing with what he says here, along with his award-winning monologue a minute or two before about how fullfilling his life is now. I enjoy what he said about how he is accomplishing things now rather than just getting by and just existing, and that what he does is "special" to him. I fucking love that, man. That's what it's about. I am trying to find that thing for me. It's awesome seeing how he had that epiphany after the fact about how he at one time felt like he was stuck and never going anywhere else, but really he had only just started.
this started out as such a weird uncomfortable interview. but it was awesome because it shows the real humans. with real human thoughts and insecurities. turns out it is a beautiful thing seeing people be people and not fake. I'll also add I don't know who Rick glassman is I came here for prof. but I'll be back to listen to more.
This is the strangest crossover of my interests.
Prof.
You said: "Thank you for sticking with me, I *will* make it up to you"
You said it because you meant it; all the way thru down to your core.
Sticking with you is not our punishment. It is not an investment that we hope to see pay off.
We love you. That is why we are here.
If you don't let yourself feel that, this was all a waste of your time and ours.
Don't just SAY you feel it, then apologize and say you're working hard. JUST feel it. JUST. FEEL. IT.
i'd love to see Rick be an actor in one of The Professor's videos
Never heard of MTG before. No idea at all about it. Listened to every TYSO podcast ever. This may be one of the most feel good episodes Rick's done. Hosted and navigated perfectly, found the right moments and pulled back at the right times to keep the energy and flow just right and knowing that it didn't need to be addressed as openly as he would usually. Amazing hour from Rick and The Professor.
Totally agreed. Know nothing about MTG and thought this was a brilliant episode
1:31:50 quite possibly, the smoothest and most savage retort to ever utter the Professor’s lips, maybe even on the show! The synergy this episode was honestly amazing and I am PRAYING for another episode or a game of magic between you two
Perhaps a game of commander with a couple other amazing creators?
The TYSO goblins need a Prof 2.0 episode
As always, Rick Glassman showing why he’s the best interviewer out there. Such curiosity, such a sense of humanity in his questions. Endlessly watchable.
"My podcast is fucking awesome" - Rick Glassman. No truer words have ever been spoken my good sir!!
Really appreciated the Professors openness and honesty. You killed it on here.
This was fucking awesome!!! The Professor is such a good sport. Love how honest and upfront you both were with the behavioral/mental tendencies. Very refreshing and totally natural. Perhaps the best episode you've ever done, but hey, I can't talk to people and my mom told me the Black Lotus at $400 in the mid 90s was absurdly priced. Could be biased.
Rick. Rick? Rick..........thank you so much for having Tolarian Community College on you Pod. I'm a Magic fan and passive player. He helped me a bunch in understanding Magic
The Professor kinda looks like a hansom-er Jeff Ross
With a dash of jeff daniels
He shaved his head a while back and he really did
I thought you said Hanson-Jeff Ross and that makes sense too
😂😂😂😂😂
One of the most entertaining TYSO episodes yet and I don't have any experience with Magic The Gathering, aside from what Rick has taught me. Thanks, Rick. You always seem to put up an episode like this when I need it.
The Professor is Legendary. Love his skits.
LOL oh god I love this guy, The Professor is so genuine and super passionate and unapologetic about what he likes. I know nothing about Magic The gathering but loved hearing Ricks and the professors excitement on the topic.
I was so tense in that exchange of the revised box! 😆
I love how Rick is so open and direct about how he may try to steer the conversation in his show. I think normally that stuff isn’t on screen, so it’s cool to see someone just being that way
This episode was awesome. Magic the Gathering isn't my cup of tea, but I enjoy watching other people incredibly passionate about something geek out. Whether it be about turtles, plastic forks, avocados, bees, collectors cards, etc. The Professor has a great sense of humor as niche as his hobby may be. You definitely seemed more at home interviewing him than some of your big celeb guests.
I’ve loved the professor for many years. I only recently discovered Rick in a completely unrelated way through comedy. To see these two together and chatting and enjoying each other’s company makes me feel warm and fuzzy even two years after the fact. ❤️❤️❤️
Prof bought the same socks pack I did! I love the flamboyant pink ones
Back in university would have loved to have a professor like him.
I honestly knew nothing about you but I love the Prof. so I checked this out! I really enjoyed listening and I'm now your newest subscriber, can't wait check out your other content. It was a lot of fun to hear a few other people who started around when I did discuss their different views of the game.
Aweosme! Thank you. Depending on which episodes you find first, you may love the pod or you may unsubscribe reaaaal quick. Let me know if it’s the former. Or if you unsubscribe, which one did it???
@@rickglassman A little more than a year later and I'm consistently impressed with you! Easily one of my favorite podcasts and I loved As We See It.
This pod really showcased the joy, growth, and healing power of diving deep in to what you’re passionate about. Inspiring stuff Rick! Keep it up!
Idk this dude or magic at all, but he seems like a cool dude and I'm glad rick always has realass people on
Have no idea about magic but love hearing people talk about something they are interested in. Also enjoying you talk about collectibles, cryptocurrencies, investments etc.
Man I love Betty during the ad’s in this so. Her voice is so great. One step closer to a fully Betty episode!😭
the interjection of the definition of a planeswalker had me absolutely dying lmao
Never heard of this guy, but I think I love him!
This was a total flashback to 94' in eighth grade, listening to my friends talk about this weird game while I sit there high and enjoy the vibe ... nice to be back,if only for a moment. Well done.
This was such a great podcast, I watch the professor all the time and seeing him in a more intimate setting was great.
More excited about this guest than some of the others, love some nerd talk
I have no knowledge of Magic: The Gathering but this was still an enjoyable pod.
You guys covered alot about self-esteem and success/failures and that its good to be different sometimes.
Thanks!
This video was a complete gem...Rick "you sweet summer child" Glassman!
Prof deserves the world. What a great guy
"If you wanted cool and with it, you have the wrong person" 🤭🤣😂 Strong open!
The anecdote about breaking down after that interview was lost was so relatable, real shame it had a negative impact on the friendship, seems like something that might bring two people closer.
Didn’t think I could love the prof. any more than I did ... apparently I can. Such a quality guy.
Great episode! I got back into magic last october and can't stop absorbing content about it. Hope you have The Professor on again!
Brian + Rick is a match made in heaven! These dudes would fit in perfectly with my group of friends. Just a big bunch of awkward nerds, passionate about our hobbies! Prof is so likeable! Great ep! Rick Glassman should be on Shuffle Up and Play!!!!
Whenever an old friend asks if I'd like to get together sometime, I'll say "I think that would be a beautiful, wonderful experience of nostalgia and joy."
I love this guy. Mad respect for people who put themselves out there in the most genuine way.
I'm 31 and I don't have friends either. The pandy isolated me even more and now watching this episode is making ME cry.
I'm a borderline obsessive NBA card collector. I've never had a Magic card and am clueless about the game. But as a fellow card collector, I LOVE hearing Rick discuss his hobby. This episode is off to a great start, and I'm excited to keep listening!
Do you think the TYSO Blake Griffin card will have any value to NBA card collectors?
Brian, I want to see you not talking yourself down, you are a rare human, now I'm talking too much, Great episode!!!!!
Hey professor!! Great episode! I know nothing at all about Magic but at 37 years old now, I may try to learn. You gained another subscriber and can’t wait to check out your content. Thanks Rick and Professor
I started playing at 28 and it has brought me so much joy, not least of which being a ton of new friends. If you dont mind going digital, you may want to check out mtg: Arena. It's free and is a great way to learn to play.
I didn't learn it until I was 26 or so, give it a shot! Agreed on trying out Arena, at the least to learn the game.
Never too late to pick up the game.. I'm 34 and have been on and off playing the game since 1996. It's one of the best hobbies to have.. play it with your friends and have fun.. although it can get a little competitive for some people. 😀
Yo that is so cool that you got The Professor on the show! He is what sparked my interest in MTG
40:30 - "I'm a very stupid person-", "you're logical", "well, yes but I can also be very emotional", "those aren't mutually exclusive", "that's right, I'm red and blue."
Honestly, a perfect summary and conclusion there. The tie-in with the built-in philosophy of the colors of magic is just a perfect way to say this.
This was incredible and I just love this guy. He’s so real
Magic has been such a huge part of my life for reason's similar to Prof, it's how I learned alot of my social skills and made friends even into my adulthood. Whenever life's chaos is tossing you around, Magic is truly a game you can escape to and have control (even when you don't) Rick I've grown to love your podcasts because you are funny, creative, and deep with your emotions, and Brian is a beautiful human being and what I consider the Godfather of Magic. Can't believe this video has been out for 3 years and I'm just now finding it. Great stuff!
As a Magic the Gathering, Overpower, and Podcast fan I just soiled myself.
The Better Help ad made me realize that I like the reality that not every bit can be animated. Maybe it was the thc but I was swept away into imagination land trying to think of what the dishes would’ve looked like.
Their dictation is so similar
Is this a side effect of playing Magic?
Or just of being cool
Well, same thing I suppose
ASD.
Which is cool, BTW.
Magic is a side effect of this type of dicatation
This dudes a character. I like him.
WOW this is the cross over I genuinely never expected but also feel like "of course this would happen". Props on getting the Prof on the podcast!
I can't believe i missed this when it came out years ago. I never would have thought I'd see Prof on here!
Insane! I watch the professor all the time. Never even imagined he would be on the pod.
My brother moved to California and now he plays Magic. DC to LA…Sending him this episode for sure. Love the pod.
Sky is blue. Believe that. TYSO
I love this so much, Rick. Hearing you and Brian talk about the hurdles of creating content really resonated with me. I struggle so much when I get the 10 out of 10 video in the analytics too but you have really helped me reframe this. I continue to love the podcast and really appreciate you. I hope to catch you in the UK sometime in the future!
This made me so happy Rick! Please follow your instincts and create MTG content you beautiful bastard. The Professor has real improv chops, and this has made me consider the similarities between teachers and stand up comedians. Why is nobody talking about this?
This is my favorite episode thus far.
As someone that lives with asd I didn't know how much I needed content like this. I never realized how important it was to relate to the people. You extract so much more useful and impactful information.
I had never heard of Brian. And I don't care at all about Magic. But I really loved this episode. Super interesting guy. And I love the dynamic that you have with him, Rick. I appreciate the breakdown of your mental process and emotions. Don't sweat going deep into that stuff. I think it's important to see and I enjoy it!
Thought I wouldn't like this one. This was better than some of your big guests Rick. You were real, able to relate and the understanding between you was palpable. 😊
Vegas dads and now the Professor? I loved watching someone else being awkward, but embracing it. Like you said Rick, "Nerds are in." 😉
never been more excited for a guest! The prof is such a wholesome goofball and I love magic so much wowie what a good podcast
I don’t know a thing about this guy but I am glad I listened to this. Legends
Great intro! Loved the way the professor defined his nerd status.
love the prof. stopped playing magic years ago but still following his content. He is true and thats a hard thing to find , online or IRL.
YES!!! My comedy world and nerd world are mingling! You should do a review of your MTG collection.
Keep the magic content going Rick! We love cards! We love cards!
