The Professor (Magic: The Gathering, Tolarian Community College) on TYSO -
Комедия
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 KZread 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 KZread 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 KZreadr, 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!

"If you wanted cool and with it, you've got the wrong person." Lmao I'm already loving this guy.
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 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.
This is absolutely amazing!!!! THIS GUEST IS CERTIFIED BGS 10 MYTHIC RARE
I'm not even into Magic but this episode was just so relatable.
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.
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?

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.
The TYSO goblins need a Prof 2.0 episode
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.
This is insane, it's like my two worlds have collided.

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
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.
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.
Really appreciated the Professors openness and honesty. You killed it on here.
I was so tense in that exchange of the revised box! 😆
Prof bought the same socks pack I did! I love the flamboyant pink ones
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.

i'd love to see Rick be an actor in one of The Professor's videos
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.
"My podcast is fucking awesome" - Rick Glassman. No truer words have ever been spoken my good sir!!
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!
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 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.
This episode is AMAZING. Listened to it once and watched it twice. I literally just got back into MTG over the pandemic and discovered The Professor. You both being so honest and open is huge. I related to so many stories. Please have him back on! 😁
It is not the perfection we need or will ever get but rather your pursuit of it for the sake of your viewers and the journey in its documented form that they will continuously appreciate, its your obvious spirit that people are a fan of and support
"If you wanted cool and with it, you have the wrong person" 🤭🤣😂 Strong open!
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!
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.
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.
i love this episode so so much. the passion and authenticity and the open and direct communication. lovely. what a beautiful person the professor is.
As a long time Magic player, newish content creator, this podcast really resonated with me. Glad to have been recommended as a fan of the Prof!
This was incredible and I just love this guy. He’s so real
This conversation was fantastic, honest, and really rewarding. Bravo to both of you and your teams behind the scenes that keep the train rolling!
Great episode! I got back into magic last october and can't stop absorbing content about it. Hope you have The Professor on again!
This was such a great podcast, I watch the professor all the time and seeing him in a more intimate setting was great.
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.

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
Of all the people Rick has interviewed and guests he's had on this one is truly my favorite. I love that there are people out there like the Professor that make me feel less alone in the world.
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!
Insane! I watch the professor all the time. Never even imagined he would be on the pod.
I love the chemistry you 2 built through the episode, Prof I saw you on the thumb and watched this so you spread just the way everyone else does. Loved this!
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. ❤️❤️❤️
Bruh. This amazing. Never in a million years I would thought I'd see you guys together on a podcast.
Yo that is so cool that you got The Professor on the show! He is what sparked my interest in MTG
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.
Never heard of this guy, but I think I love him!
Back in university would have loved to have a professor like him.
Brian, I want to see you not talking yourself down, you are a rare human, now I'm talking too much, Great episode!!!!!
This is the youtube crossover I never expected, I love your guys' on screen chemistry!
I am only halfway in, and your podcast is f**king awesome, I did not not understand anything or miss a reference... What an amazing episode!
I just discovered your channel from it featuring the Professor, and im now so eager to see more of you and more importantly see you guys play Magic !!!!! This will be so much fun you seem to have found each other its really been a pleasure listening to you guys discovering each other and like seeing this friendship blossom from point-0 to like you goofing around at the end of the episode, there's a very comfy vibe about it and i love it, im subscribed and waiting for more :)
Man I love Betty during the ad’s in this so. Her voice is so great. One step closer to a fully Betty episode!😭
This was so good! I love seeing you in these different environments, not just with comedians, showing sides which i feel even more relatable to.
This is one of the dorkiest conversations I've heard, I love it, and I feel like I've had this sort of conversation many times. Great interview, thanks to the Prof for bringing me in!
More excited about this guest than some of the others, love some nerd talk
SO hype to see the Professor, I never expected I'd see this legendary crossover
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
This was so awesome! Love the professor, loved everything about this conversation!

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. 😀
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
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!!!!
So glad to see two of my favorite people coming together for a podcast.
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!
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." 😉
Now, the only way to top this is also inviting Harry Mack and do an episode with him and the Professor. the amount of skillsharing and mindboggling wordplay would sure be awesome to see, and probably pretty wild and wacky, and i think thats why were all on this channel xD
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!
Great intro! Loved the way the professor defined his nerd status.
Seriously great episode. I know nothing about this game but was glued to this episode.
Rick!! Just wanted to say how much I love and appreciate your content. You’re such a good soul and I’m super happy I get to listen to you every week. Keep goin, you deserve all the success in the world my nerdy ass friend!! :)
I love you for introducing a new audience to Magic The Gathering through a great interview like this. The Professor is awesome! We can’t be calling him Brian though, it feels like breaking the rules.
Keep the magic content going Rick! We love cards! We love cards!
Loved this dudes honesty and passion
This is so organic, I mean, seeing the professor with no script and showing vulnerability as we all humans have, is so refreshing. Thank you, I really enjoyed it :)
I found you yesterday then loved to see the prof on here. So far im loving your humor and caring conversations.
