[Grace]

Hi, guys. Welcome back to Disgraceful. I don't know if it's a podcast or a late night show, but we're here, all right? And we're here. When you're here, your family, it's just like Olive Garden, baby. And I've got my family right here. Nora, welcome.

[Nora]

Hi, guys.

[Grace]

Listen, thank you guys for being so sweet to Nora. You love her just as much as I do, so I. I hate to talk to you like you're not there, but I'm a baby.

[Nora]

Thank you, guys.

[Grace]

That's my baby. No, no. Okay. We are wrapping up an LA trip. We've been here for about two weeks. We feel like we live here, but we have. We weren't sure if we were gonna have a lot to do while we were here, but boy, did we. We ended up banking about 10 episodes for you guys. 10 guests. I'll tell you what, these guests, I, I was so excited to sit with all of them, nevermind, meet them. And I was a little nervous. You can, you can probably see that in every episode that, that will follow after this trip. But it was, they're all just so amazing. Everyone was so sweet, so kind, so welcoming. So that has been like the coolest thing ever. This trip was, it was really good. We had a lot of fun. We did a lot. We banked those episodes. I went on other people's shows. I, I was, I was boasting for, for almost like a week and a half saying I crush on other people's shows. I don't know why. I don't, I don't crush as much on, on my own show, but it's a work in progress, you know, And I, I went on a few shows and they all were great. They were. I had a lot of fun on all of these shows. Except I did do one show. And here's a little behind the scenes for you. I did do one show. It's my, the one podcast I really like, actually listen to. And I choked. I choked. I just kept going, yes, yes. No. Yeah, just one word answers. It was pretty brutal. So that, that was that. And then I also, at one point I just started crying on that episode. So I don't know if that's going to be going out or, or what. But yeah, I did that show and then had three hours to think about what I had just done on the car ride to La Jolla. So that was something. See if that goes out. But I had a lot of fun on, on, I keep saying shows, but I went on Trash Tuesday. I went on the Friday Beers Guys podcast. I went on Play Date and some other ones that haven't gone out yet, so stay tuned for those. I also did the serious shows that we have here at Unwell. I went on the Daily Dirty. I also went on Dialed in. And so those were a lot of fun. We did those, banged them back to back. So if you want to check those out, you can. And then another thing. Well, what else did we do? Oh, I did my first show at Laugh Factory and that's a, that's a club here in la. And Whitney Cummings, I shout out Whitney Cummings. She's always sticking her neck out for me. She asked me if I wanted to do any shows while I was here and she put me on the lineup of like these sick venues. So thank you, Whitney. I owe you everything. Always, all the time, all at once. You are A rock star. She also offered for us to stay at her house for the weekend. So sweet. She's like, do you want me to put the pool on? I could have you guys if you guys want to like hang out with your friends at my house while I'm doing shows. But I had to go down to La Jolla anyways. But I mean, that just goes to show how fucking awesome Whitney is. So that was awesome doing the Laugh Factory. And then I did a show that night also at the lab in the improv here in L. A. And that show had a fun little twist. So basically you go up there, you can do a little stand up, but you also pick from two buckets. It's called send news. A play on send nudes. Yeah, but one bucket is real news and one bucket is news from the audience. And I kind of had the end of the bucket. I wrapped up the show and there was only real news left. Kind of. Yeah, there was like.

[Nora]

You only had like two people once.

[Grace]

So then I called my dad during that set. Cause there was some news that I thought maybe he would like. And he had the response I thought he would. So as he was about to say that response, I hung up on him. I think it'd be a funny clip if they recorded that, but yeah. My dad's been calling me every day since trying to figure out what the hell that was all about. And I. I've yet to call him back.

[Nora]

It's all good.

[Grace]

Have you talked to him?

[Nora]

I let him know.

[Grace]

You let him know?

[Nora]

I don't know what was going on.

I also did my friend Xavier Phillips show. That was awesome. I had a lot of fun doing that bad boy. And then we headed on over to La Jolla La Hoya. And I gotta tell you, I can't believe that people actually live there. My friend Nene grew up there. And I cannot believe, like, you can just, like, go to high school there.

[Nora]

It's ins. It's the most beautiful place I think I've ever been to. Like it. It, like, makes you feel like you want to cry. Like, looking at it, it's like, oh, my God, it's so gorgeous. It's crazy.

[Grace]

I don't say this often because it's New York or nowhere for me. I could see myself living there. I really could. It was. It was beautiful. The people are amazing. Like, they're like genuine, like, down to earth, nice, kind people. To the point where I'm like, are you fucking with me? Don't fuck with me.

[Nora]

Like, teenage girls like our little sister's age that would never speak to people, were, like, making small talk and, like, being so sweet and lovely.

[Grace]

It was just so kind.

[Nora]

Great vibes serve for people. I would move there so in a heartbeat if I had a billion dollars.

[Grace]

Yeah, no, it's very expensive over there. That's the other thing.

[Nora]

It's insane.

[Grace]

I actually started my set with. I don't know if we're gonna be able to relate on any of these things that I'm saying, because you guys are so filthy rich.

[Nora]

Yeah.

[Grace]

I had a lot of. A lot of rich men in the audience with their arm crossed at the beginning, and I finally got them to loosen up towards the end, and I was like, all right, I got you, pal.

[Nora]

Yeah, they had, like, Don Paranon like a.

[Grace]

They were swiveling it around like, come on, we're at a comedy club. But it was at the store, which was very cool. The Comedy Store, which is their La Jolla location. And it was very, very cool. I got to meet Peter Shore. Peter Shore. And shake his hand. And he invited Me back for their. Their 50th. So huge. That was pretty huge for you, girl. But while he was in the green room, some girl had snuck into the green room. She's like, tell. She told security. She goes, tell her it's Molly from high school. She'll know who it is. And then she came in and I was like, dude, nice to meet you, man. I respect it, honestly.

[Nora]

It's also like, people are so bold to just. I feel like that's something that you.

[Grace]

Would do if you were, oh, 1,000%. I've said it before. Like, I just think it's like, you got to do what you got to do. You know, what you got to do. Shaking hands, kissing babies.

[Nora]

Yeah, it rocked.

[Grace]

So that was awesome. I also had Liam Cola from Friday Beers. He came and featured with me, and we just had a blast. He brought his girlfriend. They had a little getaway. They rock.

[Nora]

I love them so much, dude.

[Grace]

By the end of it, we were like, listen, man. I'm talking to him. Like, listen, would you ever move to New York? He's like, no, but would you ever move to la?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm like, no.

[Grace]

So I'm like, oh, we'll see each.

[Nora]

Other when we see each other, I guess.

[Grace]

But it's nice to have friends.

[Nora]

We have LA friends now.

[Grace]

We have LA friends, which was good. And then Liam had to go. And Xavier, whose show I did, Xavier Phillips. He ended up coming and he did the Sunday shows with me. And the Sunday show was Mother's Day. So I decided randomly. I was like, you know what? Anyone here in the audience a mom? And I had a few hands raised and I counted how many hands it was. Thirteen moms, 13 lucky ladies, 13 lucky ladies. And I was like, you know what? Let's give all those moms a glass of champagne. And I think, did they do it? I think they got it. Yeah.

[Nora]

Did you find out if they ever did? They did, yeah, because they had. They had everyone keep their hand up at a certain point. I saw one of the dads keep going to the mom. He was like, put your hand up, put your hand up. You need it. It was so funny. And she just had her hand up for, like, a little bit. And then I'd, like, lost track to see if they actually got them.

[Grace]

It was so funny.

[Nora]

It was awesome.

[Grace]

And real quick, I want to just do our own personal segment of shout outs. I think everyone deserves their flowers, and I think that I have so many funny and talented friends. I really want to give a few shout outs while I can. So here we go on shout outs. Shout out to Molly. Molly Carney. Molly Carney's show. DMV just got picked up and it's on cbs. So when that comes out, please go check that out. They are hilarious. We. We got to check up on them while they were here and we blasted off. We had a lot of fun. We're. We're a dangerous duo. We're a trio, if you will. Yeah, yeah.

[Grace]

And that was their only speech. And Jake Shane did. I wish I could.

[Nora]

I wish I had more. And then he said words. Thank you.

[Nora]

It was like a quick hour dinner where they were discussing 30 million topics since the last time they've seen each other, just to catch up. And it was like the fastest run to Grace's show.

[Grace]

I had an hour before doing the Laugh Factory. And we. We got in, we went to a pretty cool place. You had to put. You had to put a sticker over your phone. It's pretty cool.

[Nora]

Yeah. I've never seen anything like that.

[Grace]

But we're going rapid Firestyle. We're like this. And what's up with this? I want to. And we covered, like. I'm not even kidding, like 30 topics like Nora said.

It's blowing up on TikTok right now. And I Just highly suggest watching the whole thing. I thought it was fantastic. And shout out to the team here at Disgraceful.

I really appreciate you guys coming. It's been fucking incredible. It's just when I'm going, going, going, I forget how sick this really is, you know? Cause I'm just, like, ready for the next thing. And while I was in La Jolla, I kind of took a step back, and I was like, this is unbelievable. It's pretty sick. Get to do my dream job with all of you guys coming through. And it's really been, without being cliche, a dream come true. Fuck. It's like. It's so corny. I'm so sorry, but it really is a dream come true. It's been. I realized this while we were watching the Seals.

At the Seals.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Nora]

Okay.

[Grace]

Yeah. I had the most blissful day watching these seals.

[Nora]

It was great.

[Grace]

We were there for, like, three hours just watching the seals. It was amazing. The seals are little puppies of the seal. The sea. Oh, of the sea. And while I was there, I was like, I can't believe that this is my life LeBron style, truly and honestly. So it's been pretty cool.

[Nora]

Shut up.

[Grace]

And just. Just to wrap things off before, I riddle off a bunch of dates that you probably won't listen to, if you like the show, tag us. I. I've been. I've been loving watching you guys see the show. I. I love reposting them. I love hearing your comments, and it's good to see people are. Are actually tuned in, because sometimes it just feels like I'm talking to a void. So it's. It would be really cool if you guys could tag the show. Tag me. And we'll always repost it. So thank you guys very much. And now I will riddle, riddle, riddle off some dates We've got Naples this weekend. May 15th of May 18th. If you live near Naples, please come. This is the one I've been dreading. And not because I don't like Naples, and not because of the place of where it is, but because the tickets are not selling. For the first time in this whole tour, at the very tail end before we get into summer, this is how we end it. I say no. I can't believe that there are only. I can't even tell you the number of tickets I've sold because it's that sad. And I've already asked if we could condense it and make it just like a little bit less of shows, and they said no. Keep on pushing these shows. So if you are in the Naples area or if your uncle lives there or something, tell them to buy tickets because Jesus fucking Christmas, give them a.

[Nora]

Visit and go with them.

[Grace]

That you can just blame it on the Molly.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I don't think. I think you're already got a Molly vibe going to you.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't. I'm so scared of drugs.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Unless they're in a box, like from a store.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'd like to take a hot bath, have a little whiskey, and then order some pad Thai.

[Grace]

We could do that in the studio.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, in the studio. I'd want a big hot bath. Maybe listen to, like, a murder podcast. Take. Have a whiskey. Not even. Not even on the rocks.

[Grace]

What is it with millennial women and wanting to listen to the podcast to unwind the mur. Murder podcast.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. I. I'm start. I'm trying to not do it because I know it's bad for my brain, but I think it makes me feel like, oh, well, at least that's not happening.

[Grace]

Oh, that's true.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like, my life's amazing. I'm not getting sawed in half because.

[Grace]

To me, unwinding, being in a bubble bath and then listening to a murder podcast, this sounds like I'm. I'm. I'm next.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm trying to mix it up. Yeah.

[Grace]

I'd be so scared to die vulnerable.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

I used to have a horrific fear that When I was changing, an airplane would fly into my room, and then they'd find me n naked, halfway changed. That was a real fear I had. Do you ever have a fear like that?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm picturing you nude on the nose of a plane. Just. I know I did used to be so scared of anyone seeing me naked, but now. Take a look. Yeah, take a good, good hard look.

[Grace]

Take a gander.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Whatever.

Do you ever have a nude go around in, like, high school?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I. First of all, I didn't. I'm like, I'm older than you. I don't think I had the capabilities to take a nude in high school.

[Grace]

Yeah. No. I would have never done it myself.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No.

[Grace]

But that. That is. I feel like that's a lot of people's turning points.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I do remember there was a girl in my high school, she had a new go around. She was wearing a Santa hat.

[Grace]

Santa hat.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I feel so bad for her. I know. She. You know what? She looked amazing.

[Grace]

Reindeer on her boob.

Yeah, probably. I don't know. I didn't look. I didn't look. I was like. Well, I remember that was like a huge moment in the high school.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah. I mean, whenever I was in the going around, was there ever a list?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, like, hot girl list? Yes, I'm sure there was. I'm sure I was so far from it that it wasn't even. It wasn't even part of my world.

[Grace]

Fucking look at you now.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

Look at you now.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Now when people ask me how I'm doing, I'm just like, I'm incredible. My voice shaking. Tears, tears, blood coming out of my eyes. I'm like, I'm doing amazing.

[Grace]

I was asking. I appreciate when someone has, like, a good amount of confidence because I was talking to someone recently and I was like, oh, how are you doing? They're like, I'm fucking crushing it. And then they walked away. I'm like, that's awesome.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That person sounds annoying.

[Grace]

Delusionally amazing. I think that's kind of the way to go through things.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's true. It's a delicate balance. One must strike.

[Grace]

I was like, wow, that's.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Is it a man?

[Grace]

No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm sorry. I was like, if someone said that, I'd be like, are you joking?

[Grace]

Like, no, I was just like, wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wow.

[Grace]

Good for you. That's great. That's good stuff.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think that is the good way to be.

[Grace]

Yeah. And then I followed up and I was like, well, you know, I. Cause I just can't leave things alone sometimes. And I Was like, so what is like, what makes you crush it? And then they told me, and they actually are crushing it. Yeah, it was a great follow up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Made me feel better. I'm like, I feel inadequate now.

[Grace]

Yeah. I was like.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm like, oh, God. What do they have going on?

[Grace]

Yeah, they had. They're touring and they got funded for something.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, Must be nice.

[Grace]

Like, all these things.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Must be nice.

[Grace]

They got put up in a. In a beautiful home with a maid.

[Mickey O'Malley]

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

For what? For stand up. Yeah.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So I'm just picturing me in delta economy with carrying my own bag of T shirts, being like, I'm here to do a show. Everyone's like, please go home. Please go home.

[Grace]

[Mickey O'Malley]

My merch is amazing. Well, you know Hunter, who did a poster for you?

Next in the audition to be my co host.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay, cool.

[Grace]

We need to test your options and opinions. All right, so I'm gonna give, like, a word or a series of words, and then you kind of give where you stand on the topic.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

Ranch. First blue cheese.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Ranch.

[Grace]

Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I wish I liked blue cheese, but I'm not that sophisticated.

[Grace]

That sophistication.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

I thought it was more white trash.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, blue cheese is like.

[Grace]

It's expired. No, it's expired cheese.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It is. Exp. Is disgusting. But people, like, with a more sensitive palette, I feel like, tend to choose blue cheese, like, like on a. On a salad.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

On a. You know, with a cranberry walnut. I'm going goat. I'm craving goat.

[Grace]

Oh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Some people crave blue. And then when With a wing, though. Ranch.

[Grace]

Ranch.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's better?

[Grace]

That's fair. That is fair. The impending return of euphoria.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Can't wait.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't know if I saw the most recent, but I love that program.

[Grace]

It's a good program.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's an amazing. They're doing amazing work on that program.

[Grace]

They truly are.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm a big. I'm a big Chloe Cherry fan.

[Grace]

Oh, me too.

[Mickey O'Malley]

She's amazing.

[Grace]

She's amazing. And wow, what a turnaround of life.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, she's major Guns. No, thank you. Yeah, guns.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, guns.

[Grace]

I'm not interested in guns.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Get them out of here.

[Grace]

Get those. Get those guns. Out of here.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Get a bow and arrow and go play around in the yard.

[Grace]

Dude, shooting bow and arrow is really fun. Have you ever shot a bow and arrow?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I have. At summer camp.

[Grace]

Me, too.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah? Where'd you go to camp?

[Grace]

I didn't do the whole camp camp. I did day camp just to get rid of me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Just for the day.

[Grace]

Just for the day. And then my mom kind of, like, missed me, so she would come pick me up. Yeah, it was like a day camp, but I loved it so much. And, yeah, I got to shoot bow and arrows.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's so fun.

[Grace]

It really is. Archery, if you will.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We should go. We should get into archery.

[Grace]

Yeah. Why can't you do archery? That seems like a good Brooklyn idea. Go do archery. Have you done axes?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I was gonna say, have you done ax throwing?

[Grace]

Like, archery would be, like, way more fun.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I was really bad at ax throwing in a way that's like, they shouldn't be letting me do this.

[Grace]

No, it is. It is crazy that you can. You can throw an ax, but you can't do archery, because throwing an ax, that could. I wonder. I wonder how many accidents there are. No pun intended.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Someone Google the numbers. Someone check on the numbers.

[Grace]

It's gotta be bad. Okay. Your thoughts on adultery?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Adultery. Such an intense word. Sort of juicy gossip.

[Grace]

Well, while you think of it, I have a fun fact. Frank Sinatra was one of the only people charged with adultery.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Charged with adultery?

[Grace]

Yeah. Don't look that up. I'm not sure. Somebody told me that last week, and I just took them for their word.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wow. I'm. I'm against it, but I. I want to hear about it if someone else is doing it.

[Grace]

Yeah. Right. Juicy goss.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I don't want to be involved, but I'd love to hear more about that.

[Grace]

Absolutely.

[Mickey O'Malley]

When it comes to adultery, I'd love to be kept in the loop.

[Grace]

Aperol, Spritz. Love. Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I love everything basic. I love it.

[Grace]

Okay, perfect.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It tastes amazing. Have you had it?

[Grace]

I don't.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, you don't like it?

[Grace]

I don't like it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's your drink of choice?

[Grace]

Beer. Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What kind?

[Grace]

I'd go for anything light.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

Yeah. I've also. As I've gotten older, I've started to try others.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure.

[Grace]

Belgian whites. Yeah, those are yummy. At a brewery, love go crazy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I just had a Coors Light in the Denver airport.

[Grace]

Oh, that with the mountains.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Blue ice. Ice cold blue.

[Grace]

That's. They're known for a Coors Light.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was desperately delayed, and I was like, I'm gonna kick back, have a 17, Coors Light, good old fashioned divorce beer. 100.

[Grace]

Star Wars. No, no.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Do you.

[Grace]

No, no, I've never seen a one.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I've never. I remember my family once made me go to a 10am showing of episode one because my brother.

[Grace]

The hell?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What?

[Grace]

Where the hell was that?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was like, well, I mean, I was. I must have been so young. I must have been so young. But my brothers wanted to see it and they're like, you're coming. And I was like crying, I don't want to come. I don't like Star Wars. And like, you're coming because we're going as a family.

[Grace]

Oh, wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

10Am Showing. Oh, can you imagine?

[Grace]

And you. So you have brothers. How old are they?

[Mickey O'Malley]

28 and 30.

[Grace]

Well, close in age.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You were all close.

[Grace]

Okay, totally. So it wasn't like these like little nagging little boys, but it felt like that age.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. But you know, I used to never watch anything fantasy and then I finally, 10 years late, watch Game of Thrones.

[Grace]

Oh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And I was like this rock.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Have you seen it?

[Grace]

I have. I. I've watched the first season maybe five times. I keep trying my very best, so.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Good.

[Grace]

I don't. I, I don't know. Did you notice that people, they've got. They were more mad about gay incest in White Lotus than they were about.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I haven't watched the new season yet.

[Grace]

Oh, definitely. If you're scrolling.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I'd seen that much. But I'm excited to. I kind of want to. Wanted to watch it all at once.

[Grace]

Yes. Did you finish it all fair? Yeah. No. So I was coming home on Sunday from the airport and I was trying my very best to not get any spoilers, so I just had to shut my phone off.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

It's hard because every time I would open up, I would like see something close and I was like, I can't. I. You can't watch. It's unfortunate. This, you know, social media ruins everything and builds careers. You know, it's crazy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You really can't win.

[Grace]

Yeah. Lastly.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But I do Love recommending shows 10 years late, so that's good. Check out Game of Thrones.

[Grace]

Have you heard of that one? Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So did you end up watching the White Lotus finale?

[Grace]

I did, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And how do you rank it with other seasons?

[Grace]

I will let you be the judge because I am. I'm not good spoilers. And I hate when people spoil. I love a good surprise.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I mean, I'm kind of asking for it by not yeah. But I'm looking forward to diving in.

[Grace]

Worth the damn watch. I do. I think it was a good choice for you to watch it all the way through. I wish I could have done that. Oh, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm so lucky.

[Grace]

You are so lucky.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Crushing it.

[Grace]

You're so lucky. Lastly, as a late night co host, we need to test your delusional confidence. Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Got that in spades.

[Grace]

And what is the time your delusional. I'm sorry. Your delusion has led to success. Because if you think about it, we really are all delusional.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I just think in general, to, like, start doing stand up is so crazy.

[Grace]

That is the crazy move.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And to be like, this will be my career for my whole life. And I'll make enough money to have, like, a house and stuff. Stuff. I'm not there yet, but I have enough money to have rent an apartment.

[Grace]

And that is so. That is a New York dream right there.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So I think. Yeah. Deciding. Deciding to do that.

[Grace]

Yeah. Stepping. Stepping right in.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Or I mean, anything creative.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Me getting so deep.

[Grace]

Yeah, dude. Just creativity. It's. It's such a wild world. Stepping your foot in. It's like the most delusional thing you could do.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Don't you think? It's a roller coaster.

[Grace]

Oh, my God. Ups and downs, the hills, the valleys.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's got to be it. Or, like. And even to keep doing it when things, you know, it's when things are so hard, then you're like, I guess I'll just keep going.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Kind of crazy. But what else. What else are we gonna do?

[Grace]

I mean, what are we gonna do? I mean, sometimes you. You work so hard, you stroke out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I literally did.

[Grace]

That's what I heard.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But let me ask you this before we dive into that. When you were in high school, were you like, I'm gonna be a comedian.

[Grace]

I was definitely playing the class clown of it all.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm laughing.

[Grace]

I was laughing. I was ordering pizza in detention.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, yummy.

[Grace]

I was. I was a little.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's your favorite food?

[Grace]

I would say pasta.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What kind, though?

[Grace]

I'm addicted. Any. I could even. I could go plain.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I like just butter noodle.

[Grace]

I could. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So good.

[Grace]

But, like, I like them all.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

I've never met a pasta I don't like. That's a fact.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You're lucky because that's such an easy thing to cook.

[Grace]

It's all I can cook.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. That's great.

[Grace]

And then I got the jars. Lucky for me, you know, Carbone sends me jars every once in a while.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They're so good. I would love to be included on that. Yeah. On that mailing list.

[Grace]

And one time they. They DM me asking me if I wanted some jars, and I was like, yeah, no, I love your jars, but can I get a reservation?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. For real?

[Grace]

They said, don't tell anybody, so I won't, but they gave me a reservation. That's amazing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You deserve one. I've only been once and it was. It was like a 3:45pm lunch. It's like, no one wants that slot.

[Grace]

Well, I mean, you know, but guess what I did.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I went. Cocktails, vodka, pasta. Guess what I did afterwards. Foot massage.

[Grace]

Ooh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Imagine having a massive meal, then you go and get a foot massage. The best day ever.

[Grace]

Oh, wow. That does sound like the best day ever. So do you get those foot massages? They're all over New York.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I go on to renew on West 8th.

[Grace]

Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They fuck you up.

[Grace]

They fuck you up in a good way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I bring a book, I bring my phone. Hour to the. For an hour. It's bliss.

[Grace]

That is lovely.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And it's so affordable. They do amazing work.

[Grace]

I think women should get. Get happy endings.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

It never is, like, an option for us.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. It would be so complicated.

[Grace]

Yeah, it's like a whole. It's a real whole thing. It's a lot more work and time.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know there are certain places on my foot when they press that I'm like, oh, my God. You know what I mean?

[Grace]

Yeah. No, I don't. I've never had the foot. The foot thing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We gotta get you over there. We gotta. Guys, cut this. We gotta get her over there. I don't have a foot fetish, but there's certain, like, pressure points in my foot where I'm like, my God.

[Grace]

I'm like, good grief, Shelly Brown. Hello.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Excuse me, sir. I don't know what it is, the body of the marvel.

[Grace]

I just did. I recently just did the. The whole scalp treatment. Going mega viral.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Where do you do that?

[Grace]

I went to Brooklyn. I went all the way over there.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Which. Which part?

[Grace]

Once I'm over there, I have no idea.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm sorry I asked.

[Grace]

I'm just, like, so happy I made it. You know what I mean?

[Mickey O'Malley]

You got a scalp massage. I really want to get one of those.

[Grace]

Yeah. It's incredible. So what? I didn't realize. It's a whole to do. So you get. You get there. She puts the camera into your scalp. She says, you're disgusting.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I don't need to see it. I go, actually, don't skip this part.

[Grace]

I'm like, this is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I can't imagine what's living in here like you.

[Grace]

If that's something you have to do to make this the right thing, you can do that, and we don't have to share the journey. And then she told me at the top of my head, she said, are you going through something with your health? And I'm like, I don't know. This is like, the fattest I've ever been. And she was like, oh, yeah, that's definitely it. Cause you're eating fatty foods, will build up at the top of your head.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So at this point, she's been killed.

[Grace]

She's just ripping me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

She's just dead in a ditch. You're like, okay, moving on.

[Grace]

I'm like, okay, I'm gonna murder you. And then she murdered me softly with her hands.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, God. I bet it was so.

[Grace]

It was so beautiful. You get a hand massage, and then she lies you down. And then you do the scalp massage, and then she gets at your temples. And this is where. I never eat soggy waffles. Eastern medicine is a beautiful thing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But temples, like, sometimes it hurts.

[Grace]

Oh, I like the way it hurts. I think that's what I'm thinking of for your feet. Pressure points.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure, sure. I don't know.

[Grace]

I didn't realize how tense I was. At one point, she grabbed my hand and she said, you are incredibly tense. Do you feel that? I'm like, well, I don't know the difference.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Right. I love when they say that. It's so validating when you're like, oh, my God, there is a huge knot here. You're like, I'm not crazy. Yeah.

[Grace]

Like, oh, my God. I should loosen up more.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. When a doctor someone asks, are you stressed? It's like, yeah, obviously. Who's not? Do you know anyone who isn't stressed? That person, that amazing person.

[Grace]

I would say that person is probably frolicking in the woods.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

You ever have any friends that have gone the ferry route?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's that?

[Grace]

Oh, they just kind of. They'll just, like, kind of get naked in the woods and post pictures kind of thing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, but I should get into that, I think.

[Grace]

Huge career.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Get into that. I have seen the girl on TikTok who's like, come with me to drink bone broth by a stream. And she's like. She's, like, naked. She's so cold. She's ice cold, shaking. She's like, the bone broth's, like, frozen solid. She's like. And like, the camera's, like, across the stream. Like, how'd she get over there? Like, how'd she get.

[Grace]

That's why she's so cold. She went through the wall.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, I know. I'm like, where's her crew? I'm like, get this girl a camera crew.

[Grace]

Like.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And she's like, the day. Day in my life is. Her day in her life is. Wake up. 10 minutes of journaling, drink bone broth, bed. I'm like, gold.

[Grace]

Sounds like she's reading the Artist's way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, have you done it?

[Grace]

I am. I started the first chapter, and then I put it down like, everybody.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course.

[Grace]

I really want to get back into it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Same. My. One of my friends who's such a cynic, texted me today, and he was like, it's life changing. I was like, shut the up.

[Grace]

Well, I mean, if they're. If. If the cynic friend is saying it's life changing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

I mean, I have one friend. She's on chapter 10, and she. She's ready to.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No one's ever made it that far. How many chapters are there? I mean, it's 12. Let me see this guy's. My snots coming out of my nose because of my allergies. Okay, Stop judging me.

[Grace]

No, you want to use this game as a. As a tissue?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, wait, the head massage was a hit.

[Grace]

It was a big hit. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And have you been to Carbone?

[Grace]

I have, yes. And it was lovely.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Who'd you go with?

[Grace]

Rich man. When I first moved to the city, I met a billionaire, and then I've never seen him again. No, just hung around. He kept a few ladies around. Oh, we have tissues.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Thank you so much. Use this for promo. And say grace. Brought me to tears on the episode.

[Grace]

Oh, this is good, heartfelt shit.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Barbara Walters. I'm like, I don't want to talk about that.

[Grace]

No, Cap, wait.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay, so you went on a non date with a billionaire to carbon.

[Grace]

Yeah. It was other women.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay.

[Grace]

Yeah. No, this is like what the rich men do. They just keep women around. He was actually very cool and sweet and nice, and I miss him. I think he ended up finding his lucky girl and he didn't need all the whores anymore.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I see.

[Grace]

And I was never much of a whore, but I did wear a whore dress that night.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Are you dating someone now?

[Grace]

I don't really date.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's happening?

[Grace]

I just, you know, I've been on a couple. Few bad dates and three total in the lifetime, and it just. It kind of steered me away.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Fair enough.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Do you have any crushes?

[Grace]

I used to. And I would say them and they were. They were people of which I could run into in some scenes. And so I've. I've stopped saying not a comic. Yes, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We gotta get you out of that.

[Grace]

This was before I was doing Stand Up Sweetheart. Really? Yeah. And so I was like doing it on and off.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And I thought you could just riddle out who your crush of the week was and then you magically. The universe puts you right in front of them three times in one month.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. You never stop seeing them.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Do you believe in this theory that, like, what do they call it? Like, if you're not meant to see someone anymore, you won't ever run into them, even if you live in like a 1 mile radius.

[Grace]

It's like the opposite of serendipity.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's a good title for something. The opposite.

[Grace]

The opposite of serendipity.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Do you believe in serendipity? Do you believe in serendipity?

[Grace]

Oh, do I believe in serendipity. Honey, roll up on Sleep, it's on my sleeve.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Are you serious?

[Grace]

Yeah, it's my mother's handwriting.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That is so sweet.

[Grace]

I really. I think, I think. I think life can be serendipitous.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What happened to you? That was. That was Serenipitous.

[Grace]

Used to go to Serendipity.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The best food in the world.

[Grace]

The frozen hot chocolate.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Foot long hot dog, frozen hot chocolate.

[Grace]

I never ate the food. We always just got the hot chocolate. You gotta get the food. And so we'd go to Serendipity in New York when I was a kid and then moved to New York and then met my good pals. We met them out one night. We didn't get anyone's numbers. Like idiots. And we were like, oh, we're never gonna see them again. That's unfortunate. Then we, like crossed paths on an intersection.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We're like, serendipity, that's amazing.

[Grace]

Yeah, no, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Do you know what? My boyfriend and I, when we first met, we started dating. It was really intense. He broke up with me and I was like, fuck you. I never want to see you again. Didn't talk for two months. I'm walking down fifth Avenue one day, he's walking towards me in a suit. We got back together. Been together ever since.

[Grace]

That sounds like meeting up on the bridge. Moe. Enjoy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was Moeand Decor. It was Moyan decor.

[Grace]

Moeand Decor.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But we didn't plan it. I looked like shit. He looked amazing.

[Grace]

Oh, well, that's the thing about fellas. They can.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. The first thing I said was, I'm not supposed to look like this right now. I'm not supposed to look this right now.

[Grace]

You are. You were just writing your own movie at that point.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was.

[Grace]

Don't look at me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Don't look at me.

[Grace]

Don't look at me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I had just shaved my legs like there was blood going down them because, you know. Yeah, no, you gotta like toilet paper.

[Grace]

You shave and you run.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, exactly.

[Grace]

Yeah. It's a little sink tr.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But that was serendipitous. And six years later, here we are.

[Grace]

No way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

So this little retreat you did, was this just you and your boyfriend or was it with friends as well?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What retreat you just came back from Ski trip, Colorado. Where I had a chorus light in the airport. It was me and him. And then two of his besties came.

[Grace]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was really cute.

[Grace]

Rock on.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And we get along with the besties, love. That's very important. Sorry, we have a. The end of the world going by real quick.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Is this facing first half?

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

When I first moved to New York, I lived 14th and 2nd.

[Grace]

No way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Part of it all.

[Grace]

I just moved from 14th and 2nd. 13th, but.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, 13th and 2nd.

[Grace]

13Th and 2nd.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So good.

[Grace]

It was lovely. Right near Jackdaw.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, yeah. That wasn't there then, I don't think.

[Grace]

Oh, my apologies.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wait, so. And thank you for saying that. Thank you for apologizing. So now you're Kips Bay?

[Grace]

I know I'm Kips Bay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You almost have a nice place.

[Grace]

Um, yeah, we're rocking. We're rocking in the free world. Got one bedroom and we're making it work between two sisters.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I knew twin brothers who lived. Who shared a one bedroom.

[Grace]

Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

That sounds sexual.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But they're doing very well professionally now.

[Grace]

Oh, good for them.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So it's a good home.

[Grace]

These two twin brothers, are they in the industry adjacent?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

Oh, so they're managers?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, no, they're more. More in the theatrical side.

[Grace]

Who's the most famous person you know?

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's such a good question.

[Grace]

And that was such a rich laugh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I can. Who will yours be?

[Grace]

Oh, no, you're not supposed to ask.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, you can't turn. I can't turn.

[Grace]

You actually can't turn.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I can't turn the table.

[Grace]

I don't think this is gonna work out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Come on, please. It was going so well.

[Grace]

So here's my follow up question to. Oh, wait, Pardon Excuse me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course.

[Grace]

Glitched. In your special, you express how you quit your job because you, quote, couldn't wake up and go there. Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

By the way, this is so professional and amazing.

[Grace]

Thank you so much.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It makes me feel so supported.

[Grace]

Yeah, no, this is, this is late night, but podcasting.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I love it.

[Grace]

Yeah, I'm trying. Best.

[Mickey O'Malley]

If you would have worn, like, a floor, you should have your guests wear, like, floor length formal gowns.

[Grace]

I was, I was keeping up with a 70s theme for a little bit, and then I realized I don't wash my clothes that often.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's. It's hard to wash your clothes. Do you have a laundry?

[Grace]

If you smell anything, it is because this sweatshirt was accidentally left in the washer for two days.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

And then I just dried it and then I.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But drying it, doesn't that kill any germs?

[Grace]

It just doesn't smell as fresh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Can I smell it?

[Grace]

Oh, yes. I put a lot of perfume on it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Hold on. Yes, it smells like perfume.

[Grace]

Okay. Wonderful.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wonderful.

[Grace]

That is a good old fashioned glossier.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I knew it was gonna be a you glossier.

[Grace]

You baby.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm wearing a bell bottom today, so it's a little something.

[Grace]

Oh, there we go. 70s. Yeah. And you're showing a little shoulder.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know, but you know what I don't like about podcasting is like, I don't want to be filmed sitting down.

[Grace]

Yeah. That's why I closed this up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You're so lucky. When I was like, oh, yes. I was like, she doesn't have to deal with this.

[Grace]

Yeah. Because I, I sit like a, like a, like a, A dude.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

I, I man spread.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And so if I'm wearing a skirt, you're going to see my skivvies.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

If I'm wearing any, I don't wear them, honey.

[Grace]

I don't. I don't wear them unless I'm wearing a skirt or a dress.

[Mickey O'Malley]

If I'm wearing a long skirt or a dress, I'm still not.

[Grace]

If I'm wearing short clothes, I don't like that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

If I'm wearing short, I'm wearing something. If I'm gonna be on stage too, I'm gonna have to wear something.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was at my friend's house for a show and she was like, okay, you have to wear underwear with that. And I was like, stop. She was like, please, please, please don't ruin your life.

[Grace]

That's a good friend.

[Mickey O'Malley]

She is a good friend.

[Grace]

Because then you'd have your first nudie going around and that's going around New York City. Not just let them in high school.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Let Mel Robbins. Let them.

[Grace]

Okay, Mel Robbins.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Now I. Yeah, get the nudes out. But I still have it going on.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You know, but yeah, on my podcast, I'm always clutching a pillow and it's like, what am I ashamed of? What am I ashamed of? Nothing.

[Grace]

I do the same. I do. And if I go to a, like a guy's podcasting studio and they don't.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Have pillows or decor, they don't understand.

[Grace]

I'm standing like this, like. Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So confident, so comedy.

[Grace]

I can't help it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God.

[Grace]

Well, anywho, if you were to become my co host, should I send a morning messenger to drag you out of bed to do your part?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, this wasn't. This was a 12:30 meeting. I've. I've just come out of my Benadryl haze.

[Grace]

Oh, wow. Oh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But I am once again.

[Grace]

Are you an addict?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Not yet, no.

[Grace]

She might need a little more.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I've been having like, this allergy thing for like a full month. I'm going to go to the doctor.

[Grace]

I'm so sorry.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, I'm completely fine.

[Grace]

You're going to be all right.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

[Grace]

You are. You truly are. So my follow up question is, are.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You a morning person? Sorry.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Really?

[Grace]

I will tell everyone on camera that I am. The answer is actually no.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay.

[Grace]

They were doing construction on my building today and that's the only reason I woke up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's great. Thank you.

[Grace]

They usually wait till about 10.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, yeah.

[Grace]

To start banging, so. Okay, my follow up question here is, what sound would it take for you to wake up?

[Mickey O'Malley]

It would take a lot because I. I sleep with, like, my AirPods in and like a huge sleep mask.

[Grace]

Oh, so you do the whole thing?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Do you pay for sleep? The app. The app that just always pops up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Every, like, every two years, I'll subscribe to like a meditation app. It.

[Grace]

And it was calm. I think it's called Whatever. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Calm sleep. Headspace. No, I listened to. There's just like a podcast episode called like brown noise for 12 hours.

[Grace]

So. Brown Noise, someone told me about that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's just similar to white noise, but a little bit more sleep. I don't know. Someone just told me to listen to it and I do it. I'm told.

[Grace]

I'm interested because I. I was seeing some of those ads and I'm like, I don't really like white noise.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'LL send you the episode.

[Grace]

But they, they, they, they got me though, because it, it came up and it was, it was called Green noise and it was like gooey, gooey sounds. I kind of liked it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I get that TikTok that's like let this sound wash over you and it's a green cloud. It really is good.

[Grace]

Yeah, I did, I fell for that. So I think I'm still paying for that. So, like, would a foghorn work?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure.

[Grace]

On you? What about.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, what is a. I mean, fog. It sounds like the most old timey.

[Grace]

Thing in the world, I think. Or air raid siren.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was hoping no, because I have neighbors who scream.

[Grace]

Yeah, this is New York, baby.

[Mickey O'Malley]

New York City, baby. I, I zoom right through them.

[Grace]

A machine gun.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, I, I would hope not.

[Grace]

I think I would sleep through a machine gun, if I'm being honest.

What was the last thing you purchased?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Great question. I got some tights from like an Instagram Apple. They're the kind not sheer text, but they're like, we don't run. You know, like we don't like.

[Grace]

Pardon?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like when tights run, was it like when they have a snag?

[Grace]

No, but they don't run. Yeah, no, you're right.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And they're like. And so I'm a sucker. I'm like, oh, let's see if this works. So they have arrived. I haven't worn them Yet. But so far, any brand that said that hasn't really been true.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah, no, that's true. So you should test them out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And be the voice of the people. Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I should put them on, then just, like, throw myself off a hill and see if it, like. Like it catches on anything.

[Grace]

That's a great brand deal. You should talk to them.

[Mickey O'Malley]

When I go fairy. When I go fairy mode.

[Grace]

You're currently doing shows every Wednesday, starting this week at clubcoming.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I do Wednesdays at clubcoming when I'm in the city.

[Grace]

Wonderful.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You have to come do one.

[Grace]

I would. I would love to.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's so fun.

[Grace]

I've done a show there.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's so fun.

[Grace]

It's so much fun. It's a great. It's a great vibe. It's. It's. It's perfect. It's really great.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I've been doing shows there since 2017.

[Grace]

Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Isn't that crazy?

[Grace]

Wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That was the first one. And then we've been doing Wednesday days ever since. And even through the pandemic, we did like, Instagram lives and we did, like. It was crazy. We did a show there without an audience, which was obviously completely bizarre. No. LAUGHTER Doing stand up. No.

[Grace]

Yeah. No, that's difficult.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was a. It was a rough time.

[Grace]

Oh, God.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We're moving on. We're past it.

[Grace]

Did you. So you didn't. You didn't like doing that? No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I wouldn't recommend doing stand up without an audience.

[Grace]

Yeah. That's fair.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. But, yeah, Wednesday nights, if you live in New York, come see me. It's fun.

[Grace]

Wonderful. So that's. That's owned by, like, Alan Cumming, the legend himself. And I'm such a ditz. I only know him from Spy Kids, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Well, major role. Josie and the Pussycats.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Romeo and Michelle's high school reunion.

[Grace]

Of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So many classics. Spice World, Traders, if you will. Traitors, if you will. Yeah. He's the best.

[Grace]

If offered. Would you go on Traders?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course. Wouldn't you?

[Grace]

I don't know. I don't think I would.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't think I'd be very good at.

[Grace]

I'm a bad liar. I've done reality shows on YouTube.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What was that like? What's your.

[Grace]

I tried to lie and instead I started singing when you wish it was crazy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I love that.

[Grace]

Yeah. So I'm not very good at lying or being deceitful. That's honest. Yeah. It's also. It's a. It's a gift and a curse, really. Yeah. Cuz if I'M not with you. I will say it to your face.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. Let me know.

[Grace]

It's. No, I will.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Let me know when we finish. I can't wait to find out.

[Grace]

Like, whenever someone's just being a. But you're. You are being a. And everyone's thinking it. I'm saying it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's great.

[Grace]

Yeah, it's. But, you know, it's. It's hard to keep friendships that way, really.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wait, wait. Okay, so I wanted to say this. I just started the most recent season of Traders uk and this woman is picked to be a traitor. And then as soon as. As soon as the lights come back on, the host is like, okay, Traders. And she's like, turns her head, like, what? Oh, no, that would be me on the show. Like. Yep, Traders.

[Grace]

Yep. Another show that I just found out was back on is. I don't know if you've ever watched lol. I think it's called lol. It's a bunch of comedians that get put in one room and it's on Amazon and they try not to laugh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's all like, British.

[Grace]

Yeah. So they started with Australian, and then they have, like, a French one, which I couldn't get into.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And then they have a British one right now that just came out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's so fun.

[Grace]

And I think you would be great at that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Let's do it.

[Grace]

I think. I think we need to get a casting call going for America's Elm.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. I need to watch it because I've seen, like, little clips. I think they did an Irish version and. Yeah.

[Grace]

Did they do an Irish.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think so. It looks really funny.

[Grace]

I wouldn't watch the hell out of that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm surprised they haven't done American version yet.

[Grace]

Yeah. Right. I think that's like, a fun little game to try to figure out who would be, like, the best comedians to get put into a room. So you pick. We'll go five comedians. Who are the best comedians to get put into a room to try to make each other laugh and the other ones can't.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, is that how it works? Some of them can laugh and some can't.

[Grace]

No, they all can't laugh. I'm sorry. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, God. I don't know. It's such a weird thing.

[Grace]

I think you would be great. I think. Who else? Like, like someone who does, like. Like. Like bits, I think. Yeah. Because you've got it covered with the singing, so we don't need a singer. I don't know. It is. It's worth thinking About.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Well, we'll have a brainstorm.

[Grace]

Can we go back to your stroke?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

[Grace]

Yes. Is it because of the stroke?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, thankfully.

[Grace]

Are you all right?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, but I guess, I mean, I still act the way I'm acting.

[Grace]

You thought it was gonna uno, reverse.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I thought. I like. Well, I'm like, oh, that's why I've been acting like 30 years. But it's actually. No, that's your normal factory setting. Yeah, Yeah, I had. It was two summer 20, 23. Didn't know I was born with a hole in my heart.

[Grace]

Oh, wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Well, I found out because I had a stroke in there. I was like, why did this happen?

[Grace]

Oh, wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And then they did all the scans and stuff. They're like, yeah, there's a hole. And then they filled it up. Oh, I know.

[Grace]

They just filled her up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They just filled her out up.

[Grace]

I didn't know you could do such things.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You can do whatever you want. Don't.

[Grace]

Damn.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

You don't need one of them pacemakers.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, just there's a little something you.

[Grace]

Got smell in your heart.

[Mickey O'Malley]

There's something in there and I didn't want to know what it was. My boyfriend looked it up. He's like, it's. I was like, don't tell me. I don't know. I was like, just let them do it. And. Yeah, I'm working on my new show and it's about, it's about that.

[Grace]

Oh, wow. Yeah, that's great.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm gonna do it this summer at the Fringe.

[Grace]

At Fringe, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

[Grace]

It's like a great, great place to work out material.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Definitely.

[Grace]

I. I'm trying to get these guys, guys involved in what goes on in comedy. Cuz they're new to the comedy scene.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

And Fringe is like a great place for people to work out their. Their shows.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's so fun. And it's just a big party.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. You should just come and like, come for a weekend and like see stuff and hang out and do spots.

[Grace]

I would love to do that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Yeah, that'd be sick.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's really fun.

[Grace]

And do you have like, do you meet a lot of friends when you go over there?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I've made so many amazing friends. It's so cool because then you all of a sudden you have friends from all over the world, like New Zealand and did shows. I knew people there in Australia and England and, and Ireland and Scotland and. Yeah. And America where we where we get to live.

[Grace]

Yeah. For which it is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We get to live here.

[Grace]

Everyone's worried for us. I will say, what. What does your analytics look like on. On social media?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What the hell does that mean?

[Grace]

So the question is, okay, where are your fans based if not here?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, I would say. I would say here in. In London.

[Grace]

Oh, okay, gotcha.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And Australia.

Oh, Australia. Yeah, Australia.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I did some. It was so fun.

[Grace]

Wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I feel like. But it's so funny. I've been doing my podcast for so long and that I kind of forget I'm doing it, but, like, that still is the best way to reach people.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah, totally. 100.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Because you kind of do it and then you just send it out and you're like, whatever. Yeah, exactly. And you're like, you know, you're not getting that direct reaction. But then, you know, Pat and I, my co host, we joke that we have 30amazing listeners now. People come up to me. No. But now everywhere I go, people go, I'm one of the 30.

[Grace]

Oh, wow. I'm like, they're in intimate group.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. It's starting to hurt my feelings.

[Grace]

We'll put 30 T shirts out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, exactly.

[Grace]

And see how many sell 31 T.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Shirts and see if we can get that. 31.

[Grace]

But shout out to the 30. I love you guys.

[Grace]

Speaking of such. You were on Only Murders in the Building.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was.

[Grace]

You were. What was it like working with that cast?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Kind of major.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Kind of heaven on earth.

[Grace]

I mean, that. That could have been a couple of the few that you could have listed of the most famous.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was shaking in my boobs.

[Grace]

Oh, my goodness.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. The only celeb I've ever asked for a selfie was Steve Martin.

[Grace]

Really?

[Mickey O'Malley]

On the last day, I was like, could I get a picture fully shaking?

[Grace]

Do you have that picture?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course.

[Grace]

Can we insert it?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm looking like, he's so sweet, but I grew up, Father. The Bride was my favorite movie growing up. I've just, like, been a fan of his for my whole life, you know? And I knew my family will be so gagged.

[Grace]

Oh, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

My parents respond, we're gagged.

[Grace]

It's like, who's bum on down?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. But the last day, I was like, hi, can I have a photo? He was like, yeah, of course.

[Grace]

Course. Oh, that's really sweet. So he's good about it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So nice fedora. I don't remember. I'll send you the photo. It's cute.

[Grace]

Perfect.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But, yeah, that was. That was a dream. And getting to meet Molly Shannon, who I've also idolized my whole life.

[Grace]

That's really cool.

She is a rock star.

I'm like, I don't want to come back.

[Grace]

Were there any off camera moments that the. With the cast?

[Mickey O'Malley]

That felt surreal just being there in general. But it was very. Everyone was very, like, chill, little laid back, like, did their work.

[Grace]

It sounds like they move fast. I think I've heard that in interviews.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They do move fast. And they finish like before dinner time. Let's go.

[Grace]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

In and out. That's great.

[Grace]

Did you take anything from the set?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Just the memories of my heart.

[Grace]

Oh, my God. It's so adorable and sweet. Truly and honestly. Oh, my God. If you could guest star on any other show right now, which would it be?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. What shows are. What shows are happening right now. I mean, I want to be on White Lotus, obviously.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah, of course. Did you know that everybody gets paid all the same salary?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I saw that.

[Grace]

I think that's really smart. That's a good way to get everybody in.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I don't know enough.

[Grace]

I. Yeah, I don't. I don't listen. I feel like I would be pissed or something. I don't know. I'm not sure.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, but obviously that's the dream show to be on.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Can you imagine? Everybody's watching and it's so fun. Yeah, that'd be amazing. I'm trying to think of what else.

[Grace]

And like, the benefit of that is you get to stay in a resort.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Exactly.

[Grace]

Like the whole time.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So, so fun.

[Grace]

It's like Love island, but, like, you're doing something.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm the biggest Love island fan.

[Grace]

Are you?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Have you seen it all?

[Grace]

I haven't watched any of it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Great.

[Grace]

I'm so sorry. I know. This is where I defer.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So special. What do you watch?

[Grace]

I watch. I watch like Real Housewives.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm just getting into that.

[Grace]

Okay. Those are really good. I say watch New York from the beginning. That's really good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Right now I'm doing Beverly Hills in the beginning.

[Grace]

Oh, that's really good too.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's insane. Yeah, it's quite dark and they don't.

[Grace]

Even know what they're getting themselves into because it was so brand new. That's. That's the fun part.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know New York is next on my list, but I have so much to work through. I'm caught up on Salt Lake City because that was accessible.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah. That was easy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That was accessible.

[Grace]

Yeah. Four. Four seasons they've been doing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But the earlier seasons are so much better.

[Grace]

They're having all those little Nepo children just run. Run in gallivant around the city. Did you see they just announced that new show with Brooks. Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Brooks Marks. Yes, I swear. And with. So who else is on it? Okay. She's Jersey Housewives.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay. I don't know her sassy little one.

[Grace]

She is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So what's the premise of that show? Just like we're in New York.

[Grace]

It's like we are. We are Nepos and we are figuring our lives out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. Respect. And they didn't reach out to us.

[Grace]

I know. It's really. Well, I mean, as a plumber's daughter.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Right, right.

[Grace]

It's a little hard to get the Nepo in me, but, you know, I'm.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure I need to see. Is there a trailer? I need to see that.

[Grace]

Yeah, there's a trailer.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm excited to see it. I just saw like a. Still on my phone.

[Grace]

Yeah, no, so they are. They are going to be ripping through the city. I think it's just called Next Gen nyc.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Did you watch NYC Prep?

[Grace]

I didn't.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. Okay. I can't wait to see that. That's going to be juicy.

[Grace]

It's good stuff. Moving right along. What is your creative process like?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God.

[Grace]

Jokes, songs and poems all get written the same way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God, girl. No, I'm just. I'm working on my new show right now and I'm like, how does this happen? Even when you've done it before, you're like, how did I do that?

[Grace]

That's true.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I would say the main way I do it is by booking. Booking shows. I mean, I have to have something to say on this date.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And then sitting on my.

[Grace]

Giving yourself a deadline.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Always a deadline. And then praying to the spirit guides to send me something because I really do believe, like, not to be so woo woo. But it's like, I'm like, it has nothing to do with me. I just like, get an idea and that. I'm like, where's that coming from? Just like, do you know what I mean? You're like, okay, today I'm having an idea and the next day I probably. I might not. But it's just, you know, they control.

[Grace]

They go, how do you do? How do you snatch? I don't. I. I do.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You just get up there and you're like, I'm gonna see what happens.

[Grace]

I. No, I write and I, I, I try new jokes out. I have, like, a weekly that I try them out at and. And, you know, sometimes they hit and sometimes they don't.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Where's your weekly?

[Grace]

At the stand.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Heaven.

[Grace]

Yeah. It's good stuff.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay. Fun. Yeah. That's a good way of doing it, too.

[Grace]

Come by.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I would love to do some.

[Grace]

Do. Do a spot if you want. Yeah, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. That's great.

[Grace]

I'm always. I'm always pushing something on this, on this pod.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course. It's your platform.

[Grace]

Yeah. You know, which it is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And once I get my photo on the wall.

[Grace]

Oh, absolutely.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'll be.

[Grace]

Yeah, we're getting pretty. We really want to fill it all the way up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's nice.

[Grace]

Like, like, it is like a comedy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Club kind of thing. Yeah. Cool.

[Grace]

So.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But, yeah, I think just knowing that you have the deadline is the only way to get things done.

[Grace]

Yeah. 100%. Your comedy, it infuses your love for music. Was music always a focus of your comedy or did you start working it into your acts?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm always infusing, infusing.

[Grace]

I'.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I started doing, like, stand up and then I missed singing because I grew up being, like, a theater kid. And I was like, I wonder if I can do some songs.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That aren't horrible. And then the rest is history.

[Grace]

They'd be rocking. They'd be rocking and rolling.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I love it. It's fun. It's also fun because if you're doing a show with a song, you're not waiting on a reaction. You're just barreling through.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm like, this is happening. Whether or not you guys are going.

[Grace]

To get it through.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm like, boom, it's going to be three minutes. Where's the joke? If something's stops, it's not going well. You're like, where do I go from here? Ah, yeah. So it's sort of. It's a sort of a nice crutch.

[Grace]

It is like. I wouldn't. I wouldn't call it a crush. I just think it's an alley. Oop.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay. I would.

[Grace]

Yeah. Crush makes it like. It's like a negative.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Right. And it's more of an alley. It's an alley when you put it that way.

[Grace]

Of course. Do you have any embarrassing audition stories?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. I mean, there's so many. One that comes to mind is I. I rarely ever do, like. Oh, was it. It was for, like, a musical, a proper musical, and I hadn't sung something, like, legit. In so long. And I was kind of sick, and when I got to the final note, it just didn't come out. And I go, you guys get it? No laughs. No laughs. I was like, you know, I'd hit that for real. You get where it would go. And they're just like, thank you. I was like, that's funny.

[Grace]

That was funny. But in the theater, the sense of humor's not always there.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They were very serious.

[Grace]

Mmm. Darling, I'm sorry for your troubles.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. But I really miss auditioning in person. It used to be. Be, like, fun.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Now it's just you.

[Grace]

They don't really do that anymore. Right.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's just. Yeah.

[Grace]

Send your tape.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. And then you're becoming like, a whole production house. Because I'm like, me balancing my. My iPhone on my.

[Grace]

Oh, the setups are always hilarious of, like, what you put your phone on and, like, trying to have a light. And then whoever you choose to run lines with you, they want you dead. Yeah. They want to kill you.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, my God. My boyfriend and I, we. We don't do it anymore together. We can't.

[Grace]

There's no. There's nothing they gain. It's like a full and utmost just selfless acts. Selfless act. It's a. It's a big favor.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally. I usually I'll, like, pay someone to help me now.

[Grace]

Oh, that's good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. If I think it's a good one.

[Grace]

She's got money now.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I wish, honey. I'm like, where? No, you know what we always say? You know what we say? Manual. The money's coming in.

[Grace]

Yeah, the money's coming in.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm not worried about it because the money's coming in.

[Grace]

Yeah, there it is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course it is.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But it's hard out here.

[Grace]

Yeah, it is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You know, I mean, you do shows and you're like, wait, there's. That's the check. I'm like, I'm ready. I'm ready for some big arenas. Let's go.

[Grace]

Oh, arenas.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I mean, why not dream big?

[Grace]

I mean, I've been saying that I'm going to be the first ever comedic act at the Super Bowl. Don't laugh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What would you wear? What would you wear?

[Grace]

I would wear both colors of the team.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, great.

[Grace]

Both teams. And I would just really, I would. I would razzle dazzle them.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Truly and honestly, I'm ready for it. America's ready for it.

[Grace]

I. I don't think they are yet. I think we. I think we need some time.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But there's A lot going on.

[Grace]

It's worth it. It's worth it. One day it's worth it. What's your top artist right now?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, you know who I love is cmat. Did you listen to cmat?

[Grace]

I don't know. Cmat?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Amazing Irish musician. It's like poppy, country, rock. You're gonna love her. She's major.

[Grace]

And I was picturing a guy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wow. And that's on you. You need to unlearn that.

[Grace]

I know.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Guys, can we have a doctor help my friend unlearn that? But she has a new album out or. It's coming out. Very good.

[Grace]

Oh, hell yeah. Rock. Is this a friend of yours by chance?

[Mickey O'Malley]

We are friendly.

[Grace]

Oh, cool. Yeah, very cool.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We just met recently. Yeah, she's really great.

[Grace]

Do you have an artist that you love but you're deeply embarrassed to admit?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm not. I mean, I'm. I'm not embarrassed how much. I'm like a huge Swifty.

[Grace]

Okay. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So I, I, I like love. Which is not embarrassing because I think she's major.

[Grace]

Have you ever attended a Swifty night?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, but I would.

[Grace]

They have them at Ray's.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, that's fine.

[Grace]

Like every Thursday.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Are you a Swiftie?

[Grace]

No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay, cool.

[Grace]

But I do like her.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Would you come?

[Grace]

I. No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Cool.

[Grace]

No, thank you. Oh, cool. So we'll meet there. So we'll meet up there. No, but I think that's something you could do with your other Swifty pals.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Embarrassing to listen to.

[Grace]

I mean, I don't think that's embarrassing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, no, no. I'm trying to think of, like. I don't think I have a good answer. Cause what's really embarrassing? Nothing like the Wiggle.

[Grace]

Wiggles. But they do have a lot of features.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What?

[Grace]

Yeah, the Wiggles dropped, like, a crazy album with a bunch of.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Aren't they. They're Australian, right?

[Grace]

Yeah, they are.

[Mickey O'Malley]

When I was on tour there, someone was like, that's the Wiggles house. Okay, cool.

[Grace]

They still. They're still fucking with each other, I guess.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's like the main Wiggles. His house.

[Grace]

Oh, wow.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The main Wiggles.

[Grace]

Who's the main Wiggle? That's not fair. They all truly do great. The one. The one in the.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The Wiggles.

[Grace]

The red shirt, you said.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What are they? They're for kids.

[Grace]

They're just fellas that like to sing. And. And actually there's a documentary about them. It's actually pretty interesting.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Okay.

[Grace]

We're here in New York City, and.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's true.

[Grace]

Yeah. But last summer you were international honey.

[Mickey O'Malley]

This is so nice.

[Grace]

This is like.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You really, like, did research. How was your comedy tour? Someone did good research on your behalf.

[Grace]

Oh, no, it's an equal playing field. I love that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I did my first European tour.

[Grace]

Yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was heaven on earth.

[Grace]

Was it?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I mean, I made a little vacation too. So I was. I would, like, go to a city, stay there for like two or three days and then go to the next one.

[Grace]

Oh, that's the way to do it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was so fun.

[Grace]

Hell, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I would say the Dublin crowd was the most fun.

[Grace]

Rock on.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The Berlin crowd was really fun. Paris was a little rough.

[Grace]

Oh, yeah, they're snooty.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And it was a very early show. Like, it was still light outside. I was like, this isn't the vibe I like. I like late night drunk, like fun, like sexy. I don't want sun peeping into the theater.

[Grace]

No, we don't want any sun peeping Toms.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, we can't have that.

[Grace]

Especially in France.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No. Yeah, I. I don't speak a word of French, so I felt like really stupid the whole time and.

[Grace]

Yeah, and they will. They'll make you feel stupid.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, but it's so beautiful.

[Grace]

Yeah, it's gorgeous. Would you go back?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I can't wait to go back.

[Grace]

Oh, rock on.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I love running away from my life and going places, don't you?

[Grace]

Going, Going abroad, going away. I do. I like. I like to keep moving, you know, because if not that, that. That scary guy starts talking.

[Mickey O'Malley]

We have to get that guy, you know, My healer calls that your healer? My healer.

[Grace]

Girl, you're crazy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. I'm actually not.

[Grace]

No, I know. I'm sorry. I should be more open minded.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, but I know I sound crazy.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But that's the funny thing, that I'm actually incredibly grounded.

[Grace]

Yes. And did your healer tell you this?

[Mickey O'Malley]

My healer calls it the roommate. You're like, get out. Get out.

[Grace]

Oh, get that roommate out of there.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm like, that's just your stupid roommate. Get out. Okay. You have a negative thoughts, like, oh, get my roommate out.

[Grace]

Oh, I like that. That's good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Nice.

[Grace]

What the hell? What is a healer? Yeah, yeah, I know. I just have to ask.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Well, it's just a woman that I met through a friend and now we zoom every week.

[Grace]

Oh, well, God. And so do you do therapy on top of that or just.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I actually let that go. Okay, well, you know, you know.

[Grace]

Did she talk you out of it?

[Mickey O'Malley]

She didn't, but I do.

[Grace]

She said, that's your roommate. Get that therapist out of there. That's your roommate.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The therapy stuff. I've had so many different therapists, and I just felt like when it's talk. When it's normal talk therapy, I would just talk myself to death, ruminate, be in a worse mood afterwards. And I was like, I'm gonna try a different mode.

[Grace]

Okay. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Are you in therapy?

[Grace]

No. Yeah, I tried. Maybe that's why I'm so. I'm not grounded.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yes, you are.

[Grace]

What's the opposite of being grounded? Being naughty, I suppose.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Are you naughty?

[Grace]

Yeah. I mean, yes. I guess I just need to keep a more open mind, and I think therapy would help me with that. Or a healer.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think you have an open mind and heart.

[Grace]

Yes. You know, and I did have a therapist, and I thought, I want a young girl, but that's just. Oh, no, no.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think I want an old man.

[Grace]

Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And I want to be kind of, like, horny. I feel like that would. I'd do better work in that environment.

[Grace]

Sexy thing, like, he throws.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I throw myself on the desk.

[Grace]

I'm like, oh, my. You've watched a lot of porn.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course. Who has?

[Grace]

Yes, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

There's so much out there.

[Grace]

It's illegal in Florida. Found that out.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Porn is illegal. To watch.

[Grace]

To watch. Can't find it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What do you mean?

[Grace]

I mean what I said.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Is that new?

[Grace]

Yeah, that's a new rule. They couldn't come to terms with whatever the law they were putting. Putting in, so the porn company said, I don't feel like dealing with this, so no porn for you guys.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So everyone in Florida is just like.

[Grace]

Yeah, and that's not good for Florida if they're all. If they're all literally, like, they can't get off.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

I mean, there's. You've seen the headline. Florida man.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know.

[Grace]

Florida woman, Florida community is about to bust.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What porn do you like? What porn do you like? Queen. New segment.

[Grace]

My sister's here. What's yours?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, right. It's funny. I was thinking about, like. I'm like, oh, it'd be so fun to work with my brother. And I was like, wait, no way. I have a sex podcast.

[Grace]

I can't do that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

My family's not allowed to listen to my podcast.

[Grace]

Yeah, that's. You tell them that. But they still listen.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I. I hope not. They haven't talked about it to me.

[Grace]

Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

They're definitely not allowed. And they know that.

[Grace]

It's like reading a diary.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Yeah. It's not very fair. It's like, oh, I get to Spill all my guts and you guys get to read it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Have you ever read someone's diary?

[Grace]

I. I have. My dad read my diary when I was a kid.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's horrible.

[Grace]

Yeah, we had a.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What was he worried about?

[Grace]

Oh, I was saying some pretty crazy stuff.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like what?

[Grace]

I was in seventh grade saying I was. I was. I took the. The bottle of liquor and hid in the closet and drank a little.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Did you?

[Grace]

Yeah, I wrote that. And then I also wrote about, you know, you're in seventh grade, you see Tumblr, you think you can do whatever the hell.

[Mickey O'Malley]

There's some scary stuff.

[Grace]

Yeah. I mean, they'll teach you things that you didn't even know were possible.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Wow.

[Grace]

And so I was writing about that, and then my dad took me into a room and he said, I read this. I'm not going to tell your mother. Let's not do this anymore. I'm like, write down my feelings. And so I didn't. I never wrote down my feelings ever again.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And now it's all Catholic. And now it's coming. You know, I was. Even though my dad's Jewish, I was confirmed Catholic. My mom's Catholic.

[Grace]

Oh.

[Cyndi Lauper]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And I had to go to confirmation weekend retreat, and no one would talk to me.

[Grace]

Really? Because. Because you were from a different school.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, no one knew me.

[Grace]

Well, that's not fair.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Isn't that horrible?

[Grace]

That's really terrible. And so did you. You didn't make any friends?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, they weren't interested. I think maybe, like, there was. There was, like, a couple girls who talked to me, but it was very clicky.

[Grace]

What the hell is a retreat for Catholicism?

[Mickey O'Malley]

It was like a. You know. You do the confirmation classes?

[Grace]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And then at the end, they're like, they make you on this weekend retreat.

[Grace]

I'm like, no, God wasn't. You weren't able to opt out?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I guess not.

[Grace]

That's unfortunate.

[Mickey O'Malley]

My mom. My. My mom's very big on, like, participation. And so you're just, like, fully looking.

[Grace]

Out the window, writing your first set.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Exactly. Wait, so drinking in a closet in seventh grade, what was going on?

[Grace]

Oh, I just. I just wanted to feel something, you know?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Did you?

[Grace]

Yeah. I felt alive and cool.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Drinking rocks.

[Grace]

Yeah, it's really awesome. Did you. Have you ever read anyone's diary?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, I was.

[Grace]

No, because that's sacred. No one should do that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I agree to secret, but I will say early days, the pandemic. My boyfriend and I had been together, like, less than a year, but we were like, we're gonna, like, do this together, I guess. And he'd left like this notebook open and when I walked by, I saw my name and so I was like, what'd you write about me? And then it literally was something like, I love Catherine.

[Grace]

Oh, well, you have to check.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And he was like, you dumb bitch.

[Grace]

So you have to go in and check. Because God forbid he was writing like.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't want to be. I don't want to be living with her during this or whatever. Like, I was scared.

[Grace]

Or like a. Just a goodbye letter. You could have just over Toodaloo. Good luck with everything. Things. Sorry about the pandemic of it all.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, but I always feel it's just not. It's not for me to know what people think about you is none of your business. I'm like, okay, but all of my business? Yeah. I'm like, well, it's sent to me constantly on my phone.

[Grace]

Everything I read, all the time.

[Mickey O'Malley]

How do you deal?

[Grace]

I. I try not to read all of my dms. That's where people really. Because they like to hide.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Is that where they go?

[Grace]

That's where they go. Mean.

[Mickey O'Malley]

God.

[Grace]

But I won't restrict any comments. You restrict comments?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't restrict comments because I. It does. I'm like, you're helping my views.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But people will say the craziest, you know when a video ends up on the wrong side of whatever. Oh, yeah, there's the incel. The incels come out.

[Grace]

Oh, those are bad. Those are bad.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It makes me just feel sad for them. I'm just like, what is this? Did you watch Adolescence?

[Grace]

Remind me you didn't. What? I didn't. Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You guys should watch it. It's so intense. It's devastating. It's this new Netflix series about. I'm not spoiling. Because this is like the premise about. Yes. Young teen boy who's accused of killing a classmate. That's not a spoiler. Right. And. But it follows like, oh, I did.

[Grace]

I know this.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. You know what's he doing in his room on his computer? Like, what's happening to the young men in this country? Yeah, well, in every country. But it's. Yeah. Not to get so dark. But it's just spooky.

[Grace]

Yeah. It's really scary because it's too on the nose.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. It's just scary because I'm like, I will. I'll get it. Like all these evil comments on clips or whatever. Then when I click the profile, I'm like, that's like a 14 year old boy. I'm like, what is going on with this poor kid? Like, what is happening?

[Grace]

My favorite is when it's the happily married guy with a newborn kid.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Horrible.

[Grace]

I'm like, oh, wow. That daughter is fucked.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. So it's not. Yeah. Those kind of comments don't bug me as much, but they do. Like, it's paper cuts. It's like over and over again. It's Taylor Swift, death by a thousand cuts.

[Grace]

Yes, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So eventually you're like, okay, I know I don't take this personally, but. But when you open your phone and you see just, like, a deluge of, like, evil comments about your body or whatever, I'm like, well, this obviously makes me feel bad.

[Grace]

Yeah, no, of course. Have you ever. Have you ever found an account and sent it to someone?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What do you mean?

[Grace]

Like, someone that they are close to by chance.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, you mean. No, no. What do you mean?

[Grace]

I once found, like, a. Like, a kid my age. He had a girlfriend. So I sent what he said to me to the girlfriend.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's amazing.

[Grace]

But he also had linked on there, both his mother and his grandmother. And so I sent both of those. I found the grandmother's Facebook, sent it to her.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's amazing.

[Grace]

And they ended up calling my. My workplace and asking to get it taken down, because then I made a video about it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Good for you.

[Grace]

That I. I ended up obliging to take it down. And I wish I didn't, you know, because sometimes you just. You deserve to have that moment of you, pal.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Fuck you, pal. But also some. Yeah, Sometimes it's like, it's not worth the fight. It's like, okay, I'll take it. Lesson learned. I'll take it down.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But it does. Yeah, it's hard out there.

[Grace]

At least his family knows that. I. And what I said was, like, really funny. I'm like, I know you didn't raise your sweet baby Josh to be, of course, like, whatever his name was, to be such a terrible, awful person in society. And may I remind you, I have no idea who this young man is, but you do.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, wow.

[Grace]

Like, something like that. And I was like, yeah, I feel good about that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's beautiful.

[Grace]

I felt great. Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I think for us, it's just like, okay, you're just giving me more views. Thank you.

[Grace]

Yeah, true.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Thank you. I love you. You. Thank you. All the haters to pivot.

[Grace]

Do you have a writer on tour?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, no. Just like water.

[Grace]

Oh, wow. You don't have to make anything up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm not. I'm trying to think what I would put in it if I were to like, maybe for my next tour.

[Grace]

Let's do. Yeah, let's think of your next tour.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Dream writer. Room temperature, water, Evian, ice cold, Diet Coke or Coke Zero. I pivot. It's hard to pick. Which one do you prefer?

[Grace]

You go. Oh, you go back and forth.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It depends on the day.

[Grace]

I don't really know the difference. I don't think I've ever had a Coke Zero.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, it's so good.

[Grace]

Really. Okay. It's okay. I had a feeling that was going to make you malfunction.

[Mickey O'Malley]

The Benadryl. You have to try it.

[Grace]

It's really good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And then you know what I would love like a turkey. Like a turkey club sandwich, fries, ketchup, mayo. What about you?

[Grace]

I, I, I have a rider that is old from dry January.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh God.

[Grace]

So I need to fix it because it's been many months now and I did he it, I, I did, I tried for two months, I mean two weeks. And so now I, I have a non alcoholic Corona is waiting for me.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And can't imagine anything worse.

[Grace]

And water in either a bottle or a can because one time I said to my manager that it feels like drinking, but I'm not. It's water but the illusion. And she liked that because she thinks I might teach her on a problem.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Sure, yeah, we'll figure out together.

[Grace]

We'll go together with that. Moving right along. And your song, I like men.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I do.

[Grace]

You sound embarrassed to be attracted to them. Can you elaborate on that mindset? Sure.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think the idea for the song too was like noticing all the weird things men do that like make you horny for no reason. Like when they have their hand on the steering wheel and they're like this. It's like, yeah, yeah. Or what was the other one when I texted my friend, my best friend Amy, shout out.

[Grace]

Oh, this is actually another segment. We have. Any shout outs you have, please look right into the camera. Give a shout out to anyone you want to.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Jeannie Solomon, I love you. You're such a good friend.

[Grace]

Any other shout outs?

[Mickey O'Malley]

My family, God, goddess, my spirit guides, love and light.

[Grace]

Wonderful, wonderful.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But yeah, we were just trying to think of like, like when guys open a jar, like, why is that so hot? When, like the fact that my boyfriend doesn't know how to like use Google Calendar. Like, I find that like hot for some. Like, I don't know why.

[Grace]

Oh, being in disarray is sexy.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I think it's sort of just like, like. Well, the joke in the song is like, well, he's not cheating on you because he doesn't even know where he's going. Oh, goodness. You know what I mean?

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But, yeah, just all those little quirky things that even though men can be bad and disgusting, I'm just like, love you guys. Yeah, love you guys.

[Grace]

It's a great segue to our next game. It's called Men on Trial.

[Mickey O'Malley]

All right, who's on trial?

[Grace]

Because you wrote I like men? I have a new segment for us. In this segment, I will be putting men on trial, and you get to decide if they should be pardoned or sentenced to disgrace. All right, up first, we have. So what we need you to decide is either innocent, disgraced, or a life sentence.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Cool.

[Grace]

All right.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Disgrace means, like, not in jail, but it's like, everyone knows.

[Grace]

Yes, yes, yes. Like a scarlet letter.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, God.

[Grace]

The man who brings his acoustic guitar to parties.

[Mickey O'Malley]

In a sense. Let them. I say I sell. I say Mel Robbins. Let them. For everyone. I'm like, let them kill me. Let them choke me out.

[Grace]

I don't know if that's what Mel Robbins meant.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's what she meant.

[Grace]

Allegedly the one straight theater man that dates every girl in the cast.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Disgrace. Although I have to say that I didn't know him then, but when I. Before I was introduced to my boyfriend, my friend goes, he's my one straight friend from theater camp. Do you want to meet him?

[Grace]

No way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And now here I am, locked and loaded.

[Grace]

You want to take that back? Back?

[Mickey O'Malley]

No.

[Grace]

All right. She stands.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Make him carry.

[Grace]

She stands by that sentence. Stand by her, man.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, I do love you.

[Grace]

The man who has his mom book his doctor's appointments at 28.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Jail, life sentence.

[Grace]

Yeah. The man who forgets your first anniversary.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't care. It's like, okay, well, what. What is an anniversary? Like, wedding anniversary. That would be crazy.

[Grace]

I would say. I would say let's go with dating.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, but that's always the thing. We're like, is it the first date? Is it the first kiss?

[Grace]

Is it the first time we had sex?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Is it when we define the relationship?

[Grace]

It's when I say it is.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. It's when I decide to be mad at you.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's when I want to. It's when I want to pick a fight. That's what it was.

[Grace]

Oh, you missed my birthday. Yeah, no, I didn't. Like. Yes, you did. A man who actually wears a fedora out to the bar.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's over.

[Grace]

The man who comments under attractive celebrities and models Instagram posts in a Serious manner jail.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's like, like I'm sorry but like why haven't these men learned people and people I'm close to. I see, I see you guys. I see you. And it's, it's not even that I think it's gross. It's more like what do you think's going to happen? Do you think Zendaya is going to be like let's go out on a date.

[Grace]

Yeah, I, I, I also, I see boys from my, from where I grew up. They'll comment under rappers posts.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Saying what?

[Grace]

Just being like you, you go get them G. That, that I actually support.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's like they're being a fan.

[Grace]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I find it embarrassing.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I guess the only people I'm trying to think of who do you know? The only people I comment on that I don't know personally is I will. No, but shout out if there's someone from a, if there's a Love island contestant, I'm like love you queen.

[Grace]

Oh, cuz they need it. They're getting ripped apart, you know.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, I'll be. I'm all over Ekinsu's posts being like shout out girl.

[Grace]

What about a man who complains about work because, because it's, it was a hard day.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I mean that feels like a cartoon from the 50s.

[Grace]

Honey, I'm home. Better light my cigarettes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I'd make him an apple pie and open my legs. That's his punishment. Sex with me.

[Grace]

That's what I was made for. And then the man who calls women females.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's so scary. Hospital. Yeah, the fourth option.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

He has to go to the hospital to get examined.

[Grace]

Yeah. Because there's something wrong.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Female nails.

[Grace]

If you could describe your sense of humor in three words, what would it. What would they be? Yes, yes.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And ooh la la la. What would you say?

[Grace]

I, I would Self deprecating humor.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's great.

[Grace]

Yeah, I guess people don't love that. Do you have.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's every. That's the basis of everything. Funny.

[Grace]

I know it says I have a lot of people saying she shouldn't be so hard on herself. It doesn't matter. Do you have any unfinished lyrics on herself or ideas rotting in your notes app that you'd be willing to grace us with?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, well, I've always wanted to. Well, it's funny before the. Now my new show is about like the stroke and you know, my relationship with being a hypochondriac and doctors and whatever. But years ago I kept, there was two songs I kept Trying to make happen. One was I need a friend who is a doctor. Oh, yeah, I really do, because I want to be able to call. I want to be able to text. And I actually do have a friend who's. Who's. I think he's just. He just became a doctor. He's a psychiatrist. I was thinking more like a surgeon, but we'll figure out. Figured out. I still asked him about some medications I was taking. And, like, can I mix?

[Grace]

They know, like, the premises.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Exactly, the premises. The log lines. You know, on the pilot app of the mad. And my other one. This one really doesn't make sense. I was trying to do a song called I'm sorry. I brought pepperoni to your dinner party, and I was thinking, like, when you buy, like, you're not gonna bring a whole meat and cheese plate. So I just bought, like, this stick of, like, pepperoni. It was like, that is a horrible thing to walk in with.

[Grace]

Like, you've done that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I was like, hey, here's like, a big stick of pepperoni.

[Grace]

See, you're hanging out in Europe too much. That is. That seems like a very European thing to do.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It. What would you bring to a party?

[Grace]

A 30 rack, I think, which is 30. 30 beers.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. I was like, hold on. What?

[Grace]

Yeah, I know. It's a. It's a non compute. We're. We're more alike than you think.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I feel it. I would love a third Russian beers. I. I've been known to shotgun a beer.

[Grace]

Ooh.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm not above it.

[Grace]

What?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Have you ever done a keg stand?

[Grace]

I have.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

It took a lot of guts for me to ask someone to hold me up.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Of course. Same.

[Grace]

Yeah. That was really. That was the scariest part.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I wasn't worried about the drinking was.

[Grace]

More like my belly showing. I started tuck my pants in like a nerd, and that's awesome. Yeah. But nerds can do keg stands.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Nerds can do anything.

[Grace]

Thank you so much for sharing your. Your truth. Your truth and your songs that I think you should still follow to through.

[Mickey O'Malley]

With maybe the doctor one.

[Grace]

The doctor one's good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I need a friend who is a doctor. Yeah. I don't know. I really need an opening song for my new show, and that's a lot of pressure and I don't know. But to be fair, I also haven't tried to think of it.

[Grace]

So it could. It could even be as simple as, like. Like a. A children's jingle.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Where it's really catchy and it's just your Name.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, that's fun. I should get the Wiggles involved.

[Grace]

Yeah, I'm kind of locked in on that. I've also. People have been talking about Ms. Rachel a lot lately. Lately?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Grace]

Are you familiar with her work?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I've heard about that, yeah. Do your friends have kids?

[Grace]

No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, good.

[Grace]

No. Yeah. What about you?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like, two. I would say a few of. Well, because I'm from Texas. My friends from home, like, they all have full family's kids in college, basically. Not quite, but Chapel has a lot.

[Grace]

To say about that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, exactly. But now. Now some of my, like, cool New York friends are starting, like, wait, wait, wait.

[Grace]

And so, like, what's their plan?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I know. Literally.

[Grace]

Are you gonna stay? Are you gonna go?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Go so far, I think stay.

[Grace]

Okay, good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

But it's scary to watch. And it's scary to watch someone. They're like, no, it's actually amazing. I'm like, are you sure?

[Grace]

Yeah. I mean, something changes. Something has changed within you.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Something is not the same.

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I'm through with playing by.

[Grace]

Yeah. The rules of someone else's game and that's just what it is when it comes to children they try to trick you.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. I froze my eggs.

[Grace]

You did.

[Mickey O'Malley]

My girls are on ice.

[Grace]

Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So I can revisit down the line.

[Grace]

My girls are on ice. That's really funny. That's really funny.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Hanging out in midtown. All right, so we'll see.

[Grace]

That goes for a brick ton of a cost, right?

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. And guess what? Credit card. Oh, why do they let you pay.

[Grace]

With a credit card, if you will?

[Mickey O'Malley]

I basically clarinet my kids.

[Grace]

You could clone your children.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I cloned the kids. New reboot.

[Grace]

Honey, the kids are frozen.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's crazy. But, yeah. We'll see. Do you want kids?

[Grace]

I don't know.

[Mickey O'Malley]

How old are you?

[Grace]

I'm 26, if you ask.

[Mickey O'Malley]

So young. What do you mean, if I ask?

[Grace]

I know. I just. If anyone else. That's the. That's the real age.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's amazing.

[Grace]

I thought I was 25, and then last week I thought I was 27, but I'm 26.

[Mickey O'Malley]

When's your birthday?

[Grace]

October, love.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Best month.

[Grace]

Yeah. What about you?

[Mickey O'Malley]

August.

[Grace]

August.

[Mickey O'Malley]

October. Makes you scorp or what?

[Grace]

That's scorp.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, love.

[Grace]

We got a scorp going on, you know?

[Mickey O'Malley]

My best friend's a scorp.

[Grace]

No.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Pat.

[Grace]

Pat.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Pat Regan.

[Grace]

Oh, no way.

[Mickey O'Malley]

He's born on Halloween. Proper. O my freaky little friend.

[Grace]

Spicy kitty cat. Which doctor? So you've said that Your love language is gift giving.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Isn't that. Well, receiving.

[Grace]

Receiving.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I do love giving too.

[Grace]

Yes. And so for this segment, we asked the live studio audience.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Totally.

[Grace]

Yeah, listen, they're loving this. To submit the best or worst gifts they've ever been given or received. And we'd love to see your reaction.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, fun.

[Grace]

Okay, so up next we have. My stepmom thought it would be a great idea to give my biological mother a toilet to. Seat.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, a toilet seat.

[Grace]

I once broke a toilet seat.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Did you?

[Grace]

Yeah, I was playing in my. At my grandfather's house and we were playing in the neighbor's yard, and then I. We weren't allowed to go inside, but I was like, I really have to go to the bathroom. And they were very adamant about nobody inside. But I went inside to go to the bathroom and I broke the toilet seat.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Just like that.

[Grace]

Because I was. I think I stood on top of the toilet to see if I could look out the window. Window.

[Mickey O'Malley]

And I broke it. That's so fun.

[Grace]

So I think I would.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You're so playful.

[Grace]

Yeah, you know, you. You give. You. You'd have to. If you broke it, you buy it.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah, that's not a gift.

[Grace]

That's like the only kind of gift giving I would give if it were toilet seats.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Right.

[Grace]

My gram gave me an appointment to get blood taken for a weight loss medication.

[Mickey O'Malley]

An appointment. Okay.

[Grace]

She gave you an appointment.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I don't like that. That's your decision. That's your decision. Not. Not Graham's.

[Grace]

I think she should have booked a different appointment because you. Sounds like your brain's not working. Yeah, I don't know if gift.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Excuse me. I need a brain appointment. I actually have had many of those.

[Grace]

Yeah. Brain appointment. Cuz you've got the whole. You're out here stroking.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's really crazy. They do a scan of your brain and there's just like a little dot and they're like. Yeah, that's like where your. That part's dead. What? That's the stroke. But it. Dot. There's parts of your brain you don't use. I mean, not me. I use all of it.

[Grace]

Yeah, of course.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, they're like, that's okay. It's like a part you don't need. I'm like, that's what you think? I'm like, what about my magnum opus? Yes, I might need that part.

[Grace]

And do you have a definition for that?

[Mickey O'Malley]

What?

[Grace]

I don't know what? Megan? Opus.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like my great. My great work.

[Grace]

Oh, yes. Okay.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Like my novel, my whatever. My song. My show.

[Grace]

This is. Oh, wow. That's what makes you good. Oh, wow. Great, even. Oh, a taxidermy squirrel Beer koozie.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What?

[Grace]

That's not good.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's kind of cool. That's cool.

[Grace]

Taxidermy is for free.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Oh, shit. I should. The gift I brought you, I should have. Can we get that? Guys, don't bring that in. I brought a big head for your wall. Guys, Guys, don't bring that in.

[Grace]

I would. Oh, my God. I don't know what I would do with that.

[Mickey O'Malley]

You know, if I worked here, I would. All I would do every day when I saw this is. I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell right now. You can't tell. Do you know that song?

[Grace]

Yeah.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Soon enough you're gonna think of me.

[Grace]

Adautry hell.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I use matchbox 20.

[Grace]

I'm sorry to be.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It's okay. I'm 100 years old compared to you.

[Grace]

No, no, no. We're very similar in age. It's just. I don't get your references.

[Mickey O'Malley]

No, you're just out of touch.

[Grace]

What about a Jesus clock? It had the twelve apostles on it for each number.

[Mickey O'Malley]

That's tough.

[Grace]

That's tough. And then for my 16th birthday, my friends got me a box of condoms and a Van Halen cd. That rocks. That fucks. I think that fucks big time. I think he fucks. Obviously. Or she. Sorry, my apologies.

[Mickey O'Malley]

What's sexier than a big rubber box of condoms? I can smell it from here.

[Grace]

I was with some of my guy friends the other day, and I had to pop into CVS to get some tampons. And when I. And I. I was like, you guys just go to the bar. I'll be. I'll be right with you. And they're like, no, we'll wait for you. Like, you don't have to. And they're like. And then I started getting weird about it. I'm like, I'm a grown woman. I'm just gonna go in the store. And then when I came out, they were like, you good? And I was like, yeah, just. I got condoms. Like, oh, good. And I'm like, I don't know why I lied to you guys. I was. I went in and I got tampons. I'm so sorry.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I want you 26 years old.

[Grace]

They're like, oh, well, good for you, Gracie.

[Mickey O'Malley]

I was like, keeping it safe.

[Grace]

When is the last time you guys have known me to fuck? And they're like, I don't know. I thought you were trying to open up your horizons to be on the safer side of things.

[Mickey O'Malley]

Yeah. Maybe love is in the air for you this spring.

[Grace]

Maybe I. I smell it. Or maybe that's just my sweatshirt.

[Mickey O'Malley]

It does smell amazing.
