Two Graces, one podcast. This week Grace O is joined by comedian and content creator Grace Reiter (you may know her from American High Shorts) for a lovely convo about getting naked to the spiritual power of bread. The Graces bond over being people-pleasers, open mic anxiety, and the intense training that went into their near-boxing debut. Grace R discusses working at ACE Hardware, moving to NYC to become “the person she wants to be,” and the reality of comparing yourself online. She of course couldn't leave without a live performance of her signature interpretive arm dance, so whether you're gay, artistic, or a fatty.... tune in!

Hi, guys. Welcome back to the solo segment of Disgraceful. We had my sister here with me, Nora, and this week she has fallen ill to food poisoning. So please wish her well wishes. I don't know why I'm talking like a newscaster again. God damn it. Anywho, my sister Nora is going to be on this every time, I promise you that. But it did look like I fired her after her first shot at this, and that's not the case. She was very sick when I was leaving, the poor thing. We did eat the same food, so I don't know what kind of food poisoning. Well, she got steak and I got chicken. Maybe that could be. It could be a bit of problem, but yeah, no, we're gonna be missing Nora. Please give her some well wishes. We're not very religious over here. Disgraceful. But, you know, think about her thoughts and prayers. Prayers? I don't know. That's just, you know, that's the Catholicism in me that's trickling out. I've got some new jokes I'm working on about Catholicism that I don't know if many will relate to because growing up, I thought that everybody was Catholic, and that is just not true. I grew up in a bubble, but I thought I was very versatile in the things I knew. That's not the case. I grew up in a bubble and I found out at a later age, like junior year of high school, that's when I found out not everyone was Catholic. We were talking about the presidents and they said JFK was the first Catholic president and I stood up and said, excuse me, how could that even be correct? And as it turns out, not everyone's Catholic. That's how I found out. But, you know, the Catholicism of it all, and this isn't. I wasn't gonna go here, but here we go. I do think it's funny because, you know, it makes you. How do you say, guilty all the time? And I've got Catholic guilt like a motherfucker, in and out of sorry. I just say sorry. See, I say sorry. It's my own. I didn't hurt anyone. I didn't do anything but sorry, you know, And I'm looking to work on that. Another thing I'm working to work on right now is that I gotta start moving back in silence. I think when I was moving in silence, things were working out better than when I was telling people what I was up to. Because I've had several things in the past couple weeks that I was more or less bragging about, and now they've fallen through like Coachella. Yeah, everybody's at Coachella right now. I was supposed to be at Coachella.
Grace Ryder
I was supposed to be in the video. No, I will.
Grace O'Malley
With a very big brand. None of my doing, but I am sorry for it, whatever the hell it was, but it fell through. And now I'm here with you. I've yet to go to Coachella. And you know what? When you're bitter and you're jealous, you start saying negative things. And I'm not going to do that because I'm not bitter or jealous. One day, Coachella will come. What else? Oh, I thought I got my white whale, my guest I really wanted so bad. But that fell through, too. And that's okay, you know, the ups and the downs, the peaks and the valleys. But, you know, I think when you move in silence, you get the job done a little better. It was as soon as I started opening my mouth about things, that's when things start to fade, you know? And you know, Lil Wayne was onto something real. GS move silent like lasagna.

Hey, all. I'm Jamie Lynn Sigler, a mom, actor and advocate.
Jamie Lynn Sigler
I know how overwhelming it can be trying to decide which treatment is right for you. I've been there.
Grace O'Malley
But you should know you're not alone.
Jamie Lynn Sigler
You can do this. Start with some research, talk to the community, and most importantly, don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions. You might find results that speak for themselves. That's how I landed on Qysimpta. Ask your doctor if Qysimta ofatumumab could be right for you. You can check out the details@keysimta.com.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, I was just in Seattle this weekend. Seattle's beautiful. I think it was called the Edgewood was my hotel. I had just. It looked like I was on a cruise ship. When you open up the window, you're just on the water. It was gorgeous. Apparently, that's where the iconic photograph of the Beatles was taken. What I wanted to do more than anything was, for once in my life, pick up a fishing rod and fish out of my window. But you can't get that on Uber Eats. Can't get it anywhere, really. I looked high and low, but I saw the Space Needle for a second time. That thing is out of control. Beautiful. Crazy. I was there with my friend Dan. He was opening for me feature, if you will. And we were at a comedy club called Laughs. And it was formerly known as Giggles. Yeah, real original. Formally, it was known as something on the wave of what you would call a strip club, because that's what it was. Before that, it was like one word. I think it was just called boobs or something like that. So from Giggles to Boobs to Laughs. And what's better than boobs and Giggles? I don't know. Laughs, really? I suppose. It was a great weekend. Sold out four shows. It was really awesome seeing you guys there. I wasn't sure how I was gonna do in Seattle, if I'm gonna be honest with you guys, Because Seattle is like Brooklyn on mega steroids. They've had their own city with a militia called Chaz. I later found out I wasn't educated about that. That was really interesting stuff. My friend Dan knew all about it, which kind of scared me, if I'm not gonna lie. Cause if you see Dan, that's not a guy I should know about a city with the militia all that much, if you ask me. And I feel like he would let me say that. So I'm gonna keep it in, but sorry. Dan. Dan's. A fucking hilarious dude. It was really awesome having him this weekend. You ever hang out with someone for the first time, you're not sure how it's gonna go? I knew exactly how it was gonna go, and it went exactly that way. It was fun, but it was, you know, we're two awkward fellas, and so the two of us trying to see the sights in Seattle was hysterical to me. I thought it was very funny. I have many pictures. We'll pop them up in here. What I've been doing lately is I've been having different friends of mine open for me while on tour. Because if you think about it, really, it's the only time I get to really hang out with my buddies because I'm gone so long. I'm so lucky to know so many funny people in New York and outside of New York even, and get to bring them on for each weekend. And it's also good because you don't really know how someone is when you travel with them. So if you were to lock one person in for all of the tour and they end up being a pain in the ass, you suck with them. And I think this is a nice, happy medium of switching in, switching out. The thing about comedy is when you're hanging with your standup friends, the hang is the best part. It's when you're shooting the shit. You don't even know you're writing jokes. But there'll be a lot of times where someone's like, write that down. Write that down. It's really funny. Not to toot my own horn. That happens all the time. But when I'm with my friends, that's where I get a lot of my material from, is just shooting the shit after a show. A little inside scoop for you. The more you have different people, the more ideas you get. It's been awesome. I really want to get into sketch comedy and all my friends that do sketches, I'm like, I'd love to do a sketch with you sometime. They're like, yeah, haven't heard from them. So if you do sketch comedy, you know, of the digital kind, I don't know if I would do live stage sketch. Unless, you know, I get my big break. Snl, if they're still calling. They won't. They won't. I have to actually probably shut off my line. They won't stop calling me. Moving right along. What else is on the docket here? The way my travel schedule has worked out, I was looking at it today. Out of control. Crazy. I'm going To Austin, Texas for Moon Tower Festival. Please get your tickets. I'd love to see you in Austin. And then from Austin, I'm coming back to New York. And then I'm going to Tampa and I'm bringing my little sister to Tampa. Well, actually, I guess both little sisters. I've got Nora's coming because she's, you know, she's coming. She's. She's with me. She's. We're riding together now. But I'm also bringing my 18 year old sister. Yeah, she's 18 now, boys. And she's the pretty one. Okay, we can all agree, that's not me being mean. We've said it many a times. She's gorgeous. Don't pimp out your sister. Anywho, she's coming because it was her 18th birthday present and I was like, you know what? Come to Tanisha, we're gonna go rip it up, I'll do my shows. But other than that, we can. I think we can go. Yeah, you go to the beach there. Yeah, we'll be out in the sun. I was just talking to her. We never really talk on the phone. Cause I don't know what to talk to her about. Cause she's 18 and I don't know. That's on me. Everything I think I'm like, oh, you should come and do this. But she's 18, so she's not 21. And it's tricky. It's an age gap. And the 11 year old Molly, One day we're gonna get to know each other. One day you're gonna tell me your favorite color or something. Cause I got to get to know you, kiddo. The age gaps in my family is out of control. Crazy. But I have my sister coming, ripping it up. And then after Tampa, going right to California, gonna do more episodes, maybe hop on some other people's pods, you know, we'll see how that goes. And from la, we're going to La Jolla, which I heard is gorgeous, beautiful, amazing. My friend Nini's from there and we may or may not make a little vacation out of it. And then from La Jolla, I'm going back to la. Cause I have an audition for something and that's me going back to moving silent. I'm not gonna tell you what it's for because God forbid I don't get it and I look like a fucking idiot. Okay, So I got an audition for something. Do with that what you will. If I get it, I'll let you know. If I don't, I Probably will still let you know, but until I have it, an answer, you're not getting anything from me. Nice try. And then from there, I'm going to motherfucking Naples. Yeah. Cause that makes sense. Let's go from Austin to Florida to California to Florida again, because that checks, right? So, yeah, if any of those places tickle your fancy, please come through, buy tickets. It's a great night out. Oh, you know, here's the other thing about when I travel. When I travel, the only days I can really go out with my buddies in New York is. Is like a Wednesday. And so every Wednesday, I'll send out texts like this, and I'll ask them in the most unique and creative way to go out. Because nobody wants to go out on a Wednesday. But it's your girls only day. That's my Saturday. So I have to get creative. And I usually have them. I usually hook, line, and sinker. And for that, I guess that's an art, you know, getting your buddies to go out with you, you know, not just inside. I need it on the street. I need it with my boys. Last summer, I said, if you. If you can't find me in the summer, look up. I'm gonna be at a rooftop. I feel like I didn't do that right? So may I say it again? If you can't find me this summer, look up. I'm gonna be on every fucking rooftop you can find. Clip that. Use that as a sound. I could use a sound. TikTok hates me right now. They loved when I was hurt. I had a sunburn. It went viral. TikTok loves a series, and I'm not about spilling beans about people in my life. Okay, so the sunburn was a series of mine, I suppose I was like, Whoa, 12 million views. That's gotta be a paycheck. Mm. Mm. It's like $112. Sorry. All right. It was like, $212. It's still good. But I don't. I don't know what anyone's saying when they're saying that they're making money on TikTok, but, you know, I really am in it for the love of the game, so I don't really give a shit. This is just, you know, thank God I don't go to therapy. This is the stuff I'd be talking about. No, I'm just kidding. It would be way. It would be bad. I used to go to therapy, but it was with a young girl, and I thought I wanted a young girl. And my friend Daniella, she has a really funny joke about this. I'll let her say it when she comes on one day, but I thought I wanted a young girl so she would get, you know, the kind of like, what. What I'm up to and. And, you know, ADD and. And all that jazz and social media. No, no, I kind of just tested bits on her, and I feel like I was wasting a lot of money. You know, my Adderall hasn't kicked in, so that's why I'm pivoting. But with the fake spring of it all, it kind of makes you want to get excited, have something to look forward to. And what I've been doing, I just keep trying to book little excursions for the summertime. I've never been able to do that, and so now I can. Cause I'll say I worked hard this year. I worked really hard this year. You know, with being on the road, you should be able to enjoy it with your friends and your loved ones and your family.
Grace Ryder
Fuck.
Grace O'Malley
How do I say this? I booked a Montauk house. I did. I remember. You can pull up a clip, you can see me saying, who the fuck do those people think they are out there? Fucking assholes. Listen, I went out there last summer. It's really fun. It's a really good time. I hate to admit it. I'm not pumped about it. Well, I'm actually jazzed. I'm very jazzed about it, but I'm not pumped at my switch up of things. Maybe I've changed, you know, but, you know, I had fun when I was out there. And you know what I like? I like to have my own room. So I got the house, and now everyone can come, but I'm gonna have my own room forever. In my whole life, I was so stoked to just have the corner with. Maybe if they could toss me down a pillow from the couch. That was always my sleeping spot. Never cared. But as you get older, you know, this actually brings me to another thing I forgot I care so passionately about. Why is it when you go on vacation with couples, the couples get the rooms? I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair at all. It's kind of bullshit. No, it's absolutely bull. Oh, yeah. You know, the couples get the rooms, of course. Because they like to fuck. Yeah, don't we all? I don't know. I guess, yeah, they'll sleep together better, but I don't know. Why is it assumes. Why can't the couples have this part of the L and this part of the L of the L couch, I don't know, it's worth looking into. I think it's misogynistic, if you will. Yeah. They get the master suite. Yeah. What's a whole other fucking subject there? Jesus Christ. It is kind of fair if I think about it more and more. I just, you know, as somebody who's never been in love, it's. That's a tough pill to swallow. So, yeah, I got a house. I got a house in Montauk. I'm gonna be ripping it up there. But here's the catch. I'm not being crazy with my money. I'm having fun with it. But I'm doing a show while I'm out there. Pays for the whole thing. Fuck, I'm bragging again. I think that show's gonna get canceled and the house is gonna burn down. I think we should stop right there before I put my foot in my mouth. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very excited for this next guest. Thank you so much for listening and enjoy the rest of the show.

Grace O'Malley

Grace Ryder
It was awesome.
Grace O'Malley
You were a shining star.
Grace Ryder
I love dancing. I love free stuff.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God.
Grace Ryder
Very much like my grandma in that way.
Grace O'Malley
There were free matches and free cups.
Grace Ryder
Free matches. Free cups. Which I forgot to grab. And I told you, I'm lighting my candles with the matches.
Grace O'Malley
Don't they just smell like the 70s? Yes. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
And I'm lighting like. Like a musk kind of candle. Like a real, like. It's like a men's cologne candle. And it's like. And then I have my, like, fur rug that I'm laying on, and I'm like, oh, my tiger.
Grace O'Malley
Steamy. For some reason.
Grace Ryder
That's the 70s. I feel like the 70s is a.
Grace O'Malley
Decade that the drugs were better and the music was loud and fade away.
Grace Ryder
To us in the 70s.
Grace O'Malley
Way loads. Yeah. Lose. I want to get my hands on some lewds.
Grace Ryder
I have to know them from Wolf of Wall Street. That's all I know.
Grace O'Malley
Only reason I know as well. Yes. Don't they look good?
Grace Ryder
Good movie, right?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, great movie.
Grace Ryder
I had to turn it off when Margot Robbie was showing her hoochie. I was like, oh, my God, I can't watch it.
Grace O'Malley
You got a tingly tingle in your bingle.
Grace Ryder
But then I was like, watch this when I'm older. And then I got older and I could watch it.
Grace O'Malley
And you. And you. And you rewatched it a few times.
Grace Ryder
I was like, oh, my gosh. And the guys were watching her with the. With the camera.
Grace O'Malley
I couldn't only imagine doing that. Would you. So you're an actress?
Grace Ryder
Yes. Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And how would you feel? And I don't know if you have yet, but how would you feel if you had to do a sex scene?
Grace Ryder
Oh, my God, I want to so bad.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
I have this, like, ever since a young age, I've always been naked all the time.
Grace O'Malley
So you have a family, not a nudist?
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
But you are comfortable with being nude?
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
Tell us about that. Because I am in the house where I live with my sister, and I say, don't look at me when I. Really? Yeah, Seriously.
Dan
Really?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
You've never seen your sister naked?
Grace O'Malley
She has but right.
Grace Ryder
Not on purpose. Like, not like walking in, like.
Grace O'Malley
I'm just kidding.
Grace Ryder
Give me your phone charger. Completely naked.
Grace O'Malley
No. God, no. Fuck that. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Irish Catholic. Come on now.
Grace Ryder
Oh, this is interesting. Okay, yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Not practicing, but the. The guilt is there.
Grace Ryder
Yes. And I feel really bad for all the Catholics with all the guilt because, like, life's hard. Why do you have to, like. Why do you have to also add guilt to it?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Born guilty.
Grace Ryder
Damn.
Grace O'Malley
I have this joke yourself.
Grace Ryder
Keep on moving up the mountain. Go look that up.
Grace O'Malley
I will do that. I will get naked. What's.
Grace Ryder
What's the joke about guilt? Oh.
Grace O'Malley
So basically I have this joke where I found out at ccd, which is like this after school program.
Grace Ryder
Familiar. Yes.
Grace O'Malley
They would put, like a cassette movie on and it would just riddle off all the things you've ever done wrong. Really? And one thing they said was bastards. Oh, anyone. Anyone born out of wedlock is a bastard. And I went home and I said, mother, open up the wedding book right now. Why the hell was I working that wedding? Both at the wedding and working the wedding? And what is a bastard? I hear you call dad that all the time.
Grace Ryder
No way that could be me.
Grace O'Malley
Doesn't sound good.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. And so that's my little bastard joke. Because I am a little bastard.
Grace Ryder
Damn. And that guilt has carried with you to here.
Grace O'Malley
And I shall never be naked. But you will. You'll be naked and I'm naked. So you have your sister and you'll. Your sister Molly.
Grace Ryder
Which.
Grace O'Malley
I also have a sister, Molly.
Grace Ryder
Yep.
Grace O'Malley
And your mom and your dad and your dad will just be playing Madden and. And being naked. And you'll be naked.
Grace Ryder
No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. My dad's not naked.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, I'm sorry. I got it.
Grace Ryder
My dad twisted. Fully clothed.
Grace O'Malley
Okay.
Grace Ryder
Father fully clothed. Me just naked all the time.
Grace O'Malley
Okay, Like. And I don't want to get crude or anything, but. You mean naked naked?
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Wow.
Grace Ryder
Well, like this morning Post shower. And I really want to do this in a movie. Like, after you get out of the shower. Are you not sitting on your phone completely naked on your bed?
Grace O'Malley
I don't even like being naked by myself. It's serious.
Grace Ryder
You got to work on this. I know you got to for yourself.
Grace O'Malley
I can't.
Grace Ryder
Okay. On your time. On your time. Whenever you need to. Literally, just, like, look at how tense.
Grace O'Malley
I am right now.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And me on the couch, like, fully.
Grace O'Malley
My.
Grace Ryder
My vagina is out. I'm just, like, spread.
Grace O'Malley
Like, she. She tried to come on Nude. And I said, I'm sorry, YouTube does not prefer.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just blur my whole screen.
Grace O'Malley
It's just push central.
Grace Ryder
But, like, I just want to do, like, where you're just on your phone scrolling naked, like in a movie, like I think it's. And just fully naked, where that's relatable.
Grace O'Malley
Most people do that. Most people aren't like nudity for not.
Grace Ryder
Being, like, sexy, but just.
Grace O'Malley
That's that Lena Dunham way.
Grace Ryder
Exactly.
Grace O'Malley
She did it first.
Grace Ryder
She did it first. And I would like to continue it and just like progressively get like fatter and fatter women just more naked because Lena skinnier than I. So I need to carry on to.
Grace O'Malley
Which to compare is which for which you should not exactly.
Grace Ryder
But honestly, watching girls too had made me be like, wait, fudge. I'm wearing a bikini this summer.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I was like, fuck you guys.
Grace O'Malley
I'm wearing the bikini.
Grace Ryder
I was like, looking at Lena Dunham's boobs and girls all the time. I'm like, wait. I will say, even though I'm naked, there's still parts of my body I don't like. That's not.
Grace O'Malley
And that's a natural fact.
Grace Ryder
And it's my breasts. And I think it's because my sister says my boobs are. She doesn't like them.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, that's kind of mean. Because she's the one seeing them the most.
Grace Ryder
I'm assuming she's like her reaction. Yeah. I will say, be prepared. If you are going to be naked around your sisters, they will make comments.
Grace O'Malley
I'll never.
Grace Ryder
But I think it does make you stronger. Anyways. Maybe just get naked sometimes.
Grace O'Malley
Yes, yes, of course. And look me right in the eyes when you say, so.
Grace Ryder
Let's go to a nudist beach together.
Grace O'Malley
No, that sounds like hell. Thank you so much. I love that for you.
Grace Ryder
We'll get you there eventually.
Grace O'Malley
No, thanks. I think I'm happy with being scared.
Grace Ryder
Okay, that's fine.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, that's all right.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I don't think I'm ever gonna get over the hump, but that's okay. And I'm so proud of you for. Because you radiate confidence that's in like the. In the best way possible. Like, you walk into a room, you're there, you're rocking, you're rolling. It's like the best. That's what I meant. Like, so when you were at the party, you are so good at just, like, mingling and mixing around and, like, making friends. I envy that.
Grace Ryder
I feel like it's because low key My followers on Instagram.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yeah.
Grace Ryder
I think that's why. And I'm like, we all know each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, is what I meant to say. And now that sounds like a douchebag. Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
A new douchebag.
Grace Ryder
But honestly, part of me is, like, maybe these people just want to talk to me because, like, they've seen me online, which I think is. This is not at all any of the things I want to be saying what I want.
Grace O'Malley
No, I know. I understand what you're. I know. I'm not trying to back you into quarter because I don't want to make anyone feel weird here. I get what you're saying. This was like, an event with a bunch of people who also make videos. And so it was.
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
It was like networking, if anything, kind of. Kind of deal.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Or like, I'm sure you've experienced this. When you do stand up, there is something about, like, when someone puts themselves out there.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Other people, like, you sort of open yourself up and other people feel more open to, like, come and talk to you post show.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
Don't you feel that?
Grace O'Malley
Yes. And I love that. Until there is something. I've learned that some people think that they can just say anything to comedians. Yes. Yeah. No matter if it's, like, rude or not. Like, a lot of people say really nice stuff, but I've had people say, like, some crazy stuff. Like, oh, that's the ugliest shirt I've ever seen. I'm like, excuse me.
Grace Ryder
Like, I did buy it on purpose.
Grace O'Malley
Like, no, I thought I could say that. You're a comedian. I was like, oh, no. But that was just rude.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. You know, it's because some people think just being mean is funny.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Yeah. And so that's like, the misconstrued part.
Grace Ryder
Of things are people coming up and.
Grace O'Malley
Just, like, I've had people say some crazy stuff. I'm trying to think of other.
Grace Ryder
Or do they, like, tell you, like, deep, dark secrets?
Grace O'Malley
Oh, I'll have deep, dark secrets. Somebody came up to me. This was my favorite. A lot of people have been doing this lately. They'll come up to me after a meet and greet, and they'll say, oh, I thought you were gonna be terrible, but you were amazing. I'm like, oh, wow, that's so nice. Thank you.
Grace Ryder
Why would they think that, though?
Grace O'Malley
Because, you know, there's this. And, you know, this too. You start with that Tick Tock name.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And for whatever reason, even though we're all on it, we're all doing it, it's got this. It's got this stigma, stigma around it.
Grace Ryder
For some reason of like, oh, you're just funny online. You're not funny in real life.
Grace O'Malley
Like, who do you think you are trying to do comedy? It's so cute. Can I tell this story? I recently saw you on the show and you were hilarious, and it was like your second time ever being on stage after we both did New Faces together. Yes, yes. New Faces New York Comedy Festival. And then I saw you one more time that week and you were like, just kind of new to the scene kind of deal.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, absolutely.
Grace O'Malley
And he did a show and you were crushing, and you were saying on stage, you're like, I've never told this on stage before. I'm like, new to comedy. I don't even know how this works. Blah, blah. But you were so fantastic. You were so good that I was like, there's no. Like, I was. I was honestly kind of pissed. I was like, this is her second time on stage. You got to be me. She's really good.
Grace Ryder
It'll go down, it'll go down.
Grace O'Malley
It'll get worse, you know? But then you got the light.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And you thought you were. So the light basically tells you, like, you have. You have to wrap it up soon. Basically.
Grace Ryder
You have like a minute or so.
Grace O'Malley
You have like a minute or so, maybe two minutes. And you saw the light and you knew to all this. So you're like, oh, my God. Yes. You thought. You thought someone was taking a picture or something. And then you came to this and then you got the light again and you're like, oh, my God, I must be crushing.
Grace Ryder
You're kidding. I got it multiple times.
Grace O'Malley
They might have hit a hat trick. There might have been three lights. It. But you were crushing and so. And the person lighting you was.
Grace Ryder
Wasn't it John Marco?
Grace O'Malley
It was John Marco. And he was laughing because he was like, oh, this is so hilarious. This classic first time. And on top of it, you were crushing, so nobody wanted you to get off. It was so hilarious.
Grace Ryder
I. Because I remember seeing he had, like, his phone. He ran essentially up to my face and was shaking it. And I was like, oh, that must be the light. I thought that was the first one. I literally thought that was the first one.
Grace O'Malley
And I was an aggressive first one.
Grace Ryder
And I was like, oh, got it.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, he's kind of insane, huh? Yeah. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I was like, oh, thank you so much. Yep, I'll wrap this up. And then I think I like, did another minute of, like, crowd work. Damn.
Grace O'Malley
For like a 8 minute set. I think you might have ripped like 15, but it was awesome. It was incredible.
Grace Ryder
It was so good. 15?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. You've got a good, solid 15.
Grace Ryder
Don't remember any of it.
Grace O'Malley
Do you record them?
Grace Ryder
Well, he recorded that.
Grace O'Malley
Okay. The whole thing. Most people so like to get better, and this is something I have to. I have to work on, is you. You put your phone down and use voice memos and listen back, and that's terrifying. I can't even get myself to do that. I hate hearing my own voice. It's.
Grace Ryder
And now you have a podcast. But I feel like I have the opposite problem of a lot of my standup friends. They'll be like, love stand up. Hate watching myself in videos where I'm like, videos nothing. Because to me, you're throwing that into, like, the ether. No one's ever. I don't see the people that are seeing that stand up. They're there. So that's more scary to me.
Grace O'Malley
I like immediate reaction. I like. I like. You kind of get it. I live for the applause. Applause.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And so I like. I like knowing when something's not working immediately, even though it kills and hurts my heart. But, yeah, it's good to know because you do that three times in front of people, and if it doesn't work three times and it's like. It's like, oh, really?
Grace Ryder
Is that the rule?
Grace O'Malley
That's just what I do. I was on the room. So new to all this jazz. I should not be giving any advice whatsoever. But. No, no, no.
Grace Ryder
I mean, I'm. I'm even newer than you. Well, so whatever you're saying, I'm, like, shredding it down.
Grace O'Malley
Well, you are out there. You are crushing.
Grace Ryder
Thank you very much.
Grace O'Malley
You've got it going on already. It's great to see, like, I can't even believe where you're. You, like, stand up. We'll see.
Grace Ryder
I really haven't. We'll see. I don't know.
Grace O'Malley
Natural talent who doesn't seem to care. That's. Oh, crushes my little red heart.
Grace Ryder
I mean, I'll try more. I don't know if it's. And I've been saying this, like, I don't know if it's like, improv or.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yeah.
Grace Ryder
Or stand up or characters or, like, what it is. I need to just.
Grace O'Malley
I could see you do a one, one woman show.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. A little feedback moment.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. 100.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Wait. Question for you.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
Because I'm experiencing this. So obviously doing this, it requires you to go to shows and stuff. Are you going to open mics and stuff or are you testing out material just on your.
Grace O'Malley
I'll do an open mic here and there every once in a while.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
But five minutes is tough for me. I have, like a hard time doing five minutes.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
So I'll just, like, pick up shows where. Like, wherever I can.
Grace Ryder
Okay. Yeah. I find myself if I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go to an open mic tonight, stressing the entire day. But then when I do it, I'm like, oh, this is fun and this is everything I've ever wanted to do. But it's all. It's like remembering that.
Grace O'Malley
Is that leading up to it. It's like all consuming the open mic of it all. It's. It's petrifying.
Grace Ryder
Even shows.
Grace O'Malley
Shows. I still. I'll still get, like, worked up. I don't think I'll ever lose that. You lose that, you lose it all. I think, like, the grit of it all. Like, if you're not nervous, then you're doing it wrong. I think. Okay, if you don't have any inkling of worry, you gotta be like, stressed out to go feel it and then be like, oh, it's like the beauty, right?
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Because you don't get that, like, release.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
You don't get that, like, relief after. Yep. Yeah. You need a soundboard.
Grace O'Malley
I'm working on it. Oh. Oh, you are?
Grace Ryder
Oh, yes. Your soundboard. You should do it with your feet. Like buttons, like the dogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I feel that where I'm like, oh. Like immediately after this, I have that character audition.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
It was at the end of the month. They told it about me at the top of the month. I was sat just staring at the wall for essentially all of February.
Grace O'Malley
I think the more you do it and the more you go out, the more you feel comfortable.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And I have a weekly show on Tuesdays if you want to.
Grace Ryder
Oh, you do?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, do 10 minutes, whatever you want.
Grace Ryder
Oh, okay. Per.
Grace O'Malley
Yes?
Grace Ryder
Where is this weekly show?
Grace O'Malley
The Stand. New York City. Oh, the Stand.
Grace Ryder
Okay, great.
Grace O'Malley
Seamless promo.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're welcome. You're welcome. This co hosting thing is going great.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, speaking of which. Oh, I have some questions for you.
Grace Ryder
Okay. I would love. I do have a question for you too. I want to ask.
Grace O'Malley
Yes, of course.
Grace Ryder
Do you like Veggie Tales because of CCD or are you not a Veggie Tales fan?
Grace O'Malley
I have no idea what that means. I know Veggie Tales, I know ccd, but I don't know them to Correlate at all.
Grace Ryder
I guess I just assumed they were like throwing you.
Grace O'Malley
Would you ask this for to a Jewish person?
Grace Ryder
Absolutely not. It's a Christian show.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, is.
Grace Ryder
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you serious? No, no. Veggie Tales is like Christian, right?
Grace O'Malley
What? What the hell?
Grace Ryder
Okay, never mind. I thought they were just throwing you.
Grace O'Malley
In your mind and you had to let it out. So I've been auditioning everyone who comes on to be my co host, and I have a few questions for you to see if you'd be the right fit.
Grace Ryder
Okay, great.
Grace O'Malley
All right, Grace, your first question in the audition to become my co host. We have the same name. Okay. What nickname would you give me and yourself so our audience could differentiate us?
Grace Ryder
That's a great question. Ooh. So Irish.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
Okay.
Grace O'Malley
Irish a bitch would.
Grace Ryder
Irish a bitch would. I don't know. I mean, there was like an Ed Sheeran reference there. Maybe we do something with like Galway girl or like, I.
Grace O'Malley
You.
Grace Ryder
Or I could be Gracie. You could be Grace.
Grace O'Malley
What makes you.
Grace Ryder
Gracie was just like, little cuter.
Grace O'Malley
For which I already knew the answer. Moving on.
Grace Ryder
Absolutely blowing this interview. Absolutely.
Grace O'Malley
No. You're crushing Grace.
Grace Ryder
Fuck. Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks.
Grace O'Malley
Thank God. Thank God. Thank you so much.
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
For which you spent time.
Grace Ryder
I spent some time. I put in almost a year. Not even.
Grace O'Malley
Wow.
Grace Ryder
There. Yep. Working there, putting together grills. I would build grills for the displays.
Grace O'Malley
That is a woman in stem.
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
Wow.
Grace Ryder
100. Have you built a Weber grill before?
Grace O'Malley
Are you seriously asking me? That's why I'm Grace and you're Gracie.
Grace Ryder
You just have it all and I can't tell. Have you?
Grace O'Malley
No.
Grace Ryder
God, no.
Grace O'Malley
Right, right. Of course not.
Grace Ryder
You don't like, get in there. Do you like to grill?
Grace O'Malley
I don't know how to cook.
Grace Ryder
Really?
Grace O'Malley
No, I don't. What are you.
Grace Ryder
What are you cooking for yourself?
Grace O'Malley
I can cook. When you go out and you do hot pot. I could do that.
Grace Ryder
Yes. Easy. Well, that's a cooking essentially.
Grace O'Malley
Okay.
Grace Ryder
You just get a hot thing.
Grace O'Malley
Well, wife me up, baby. We're going to hot pot every night.
Grace Ryder
Okay.
Grace O'Malley
Let's get hot in this pot.
Grace Ryder
Let's get hot in this pot. It's confusing, though.
Grace O'Malley
You can make it. Yeah. Is it?
Grace Ryder
Because, like, all the sauces and the one thing I wasn't sure, like, you bring those back, put them on the meat. I feel like they does when you go there. Does someone tell you how to do this stuff?
Grace O'Malley
If you ask, but it's very embarrassing. I like to go with somebody who knows what they're doing and then. For which I will then explain it to the next person and move on.
Grace Ryder
That's very generous.
Grace O'Malley
It's an unspoken rule to just, like, kind of figure it out.
Grace Ryder
Okay. Because I was like, okay, our waitress is a.
Grace O'Malley
She's not. I was like.
Grace Ryder
And me and my sister were there, like, playing up our. Like, like, not knowing what's going on. We were like, like, looking around.
Grace O'Malley
We know. We're from Wisconsin.
Grace Ryder
Exactly. We're like, I've never been in the big city before.
Grace O'Malley
We're like, how do we do this?
Grace Ryder
We're like, like, we're literally looking around like this. And I'm like, can she not read, like, social cues? We're in distress here.
Grace O'Malley
You got to be very honest. You got to be upfront and honest.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. And then she just came over and went. She just, like, did it and then left. And I was like, okay. Was that.
Grace O'Malley
No, we eat it.
Grace Ryder
It was so confusing.
Grace O'Malley
But you can put a grill together, and that's all that matters, really. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. So I can build the grill. I did, like, the hunting licenses. I did. I would get bait.
Grace O'Malley
What? You can get that at the Aces. The places Hardware store.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, you can get your hunting license. I would just take, like, their ID and then just put in the information, and then you get there. Like, actually, fishing license was the most common one. Maybe I would do deer sometimes. I don't know. And then you get bait.
Grace O'Malley
Wow.
Grace Ryder
And then you get baited. You get baited. Yeah, lots of. Lots of baited. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's, like, queer baiting there.
Grace O'Malley
There's. Oh, yeah.
Grace Ryder
Masturbating there.
Grace O'Malley
I figured.
Grace Ryder
Yep.
Grace O'Malley
All the difference.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Ace is the place.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Really? It's pretty.
Grace Ryder
It's pretty fun. And honestly, really enjoyed my time working there.
Grace O'Malley
That's awesome. Wait, so what would be, like, your most asked question? Like, hi, miss.
Grace Ryder
Maybe, like, making copies of keys.
Grace O'Malley
Making copies of keys.
Grace Ryder
And, like, hey, where are, like, the divots or something?
Grace O'Malley
What the hell's a divot?
Grace Ryder
And I mean, that's me just googling stuff and then going, oh, I think it's over here.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yeah. Anyone could do that.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, anyone could do it.
Grace O'Malley
See, this is what I don't like. I hate when people. I have a sister that will ask where the bathroom is every time she's somewhere. Just figure it out. Like, it's so easy to figure out. Follow the wall.
Grace Ryder
I think it is something about being a customer. Like, you get dumb.
Grace O'Malley
You get so dumb.
Grace Ryder
Like, being a consumer just Consuming all the time.
Grace O'Malley
You dumb it down. I waitress. They'd be like, now what's in the fish? It's, like, right there. It's right there. It's right there.
Grace Ryder
It is.
Grace O'Malley
Sauteed spinach clams. It's haddock. Enjoy it. Yep. Oh, I turn into Bill Burr. I get all upset. It's haddock. It's had.
Grace Ryder
It's you screaming on your. In your apron.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
They're like, yeah, you've had it. I'm sorry. Can we get a different way trip? She's a little angry.
Grace O'Malley
They're just driving me mad. I don't know why I'm Southern when I go back to my waitress and days.
Grace Ryder
That sounded a little Jennifer Coolidge there.
Grace O'Malley
Sometimes when I'm on the spot, I can't do it. I can't do it on the spot.
Grace Ryder
Like, you were just there.
Grace O'Malley
Well, you get there. Come on, Gracie.
Grace Ryder
Okay. Grace Prime.
Grace O'Malley
Grace Optimus Prime. Grace Prime.
Grace Ryder
Grace Beta.
Grace O'Malley
Now, have you really set the precedent of I'm an asshole?
Grace Ryder
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Grace O'Malley
See, we're going in a loop. Gracie.
Jamie Lynn Sigler
Gracie.
Grace Ryder
We should have fought.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, we should have fought. Ladies and gentlemen, something you may not know is that we were supposed to get into a physical altercation for money. Yes. That's right. We were supposed to do rough and rowdy together. That's a barstool classic where they make silly gooses get into the ring and punch each other.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. I fell for it. And so did you.
Grace Ryder
Fell for it.
Grace O'Malley
Well, it's a lot of silly gooses.
Grace Ryder
It's like.
Grace O'Malley
Well, no, it's not a scam. It's actually. It's a great show that they put on, But I. It wasn't my favorite part of my life. I did it to get sober for a month.
Grace Ryder
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grace O'Malley
To lose some pounds. And I did that. But I was hard looking for someone to fight. And you auditioned or you put in a questionnaire, and I was locked in.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And I weighed more, so we couldn't do it.
Grace Ryder
That's not what I heard.
Grace O'Malley
No, I was. I was packing in the pounds.
Grace Ryder
No, you weighed more than the previous girl. Then I was like, oh, I'll step in. But then you weighed less than me.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, really?
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Because you stopped drinking, so you dropped out.
Grace O'Malley
I dropped down.
Grace Ryder
You dropped down. And then I was like, fudge. And then they were like, unless you can lose £15 by the end of the month, we have to find someone else.
Grace O'Malley
That's a crazy fudgeing.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And then I'm not actual athletes. I know. Yes. I know, right?
Grace Ryder
I'm like, we're not actually going. I mean, two, be fair. I was planning to like, beat the out of you, cuz I wanted to win.
Grace O'Malley
I have one of those faces. Yeah. I didn't want to fight you, just so you know. Really?
Grace Ryder
Oh, I wanted to look really good. We're different people. We're different people.
Grace O'Malley
Not.
Grace Ryder
I didn't want to, like, oh, this is horrible.
Grace O'Malley
You wanted to. Yeah. How many followers do you have? Yep, that's right. You are a beta. We should.
Grace Ryder
We should clip all of this into like. Actually, that just looks like a big fight. Yeah. Yeah, actually, I should be the enemy. Like, we should have like a rivalry or something.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yeah.
Grace Ryder
We should have like a fake moving forward rivalry.
Grace O'Malley
Prefer each other's company at all.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. So essentially I told my trainer because as soon as they told me, I went to like this box trainer.
Grace O'Malley
Wait, so then I, like, was following along after. After the fact. And you ended up, like, really enjoying boxing. I, like, really into it.
Grace Ryder
I only did it for four days. I met with a guy.
Grace O'Malley
I could have sworn it was four months because I. You must have just been recording every damn day and posting it all.
Grace Ryder
I really posted a lot.
Grace O'Malley
I don't know, it seemed like you found a passion through it all. And I was like, at least something good came out of it. I didn't like it. I didn't. I didn't.
Grace Ryder
It's hard.
Grace O'Malley
It's a full body workout and I. I felt great doing it, but, like, I didn't have. I've been jumped a few times and like the whole, like.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, it's like, like the aggression of it. Like, you didn't find a release in that.
Grace O'Malley
I don't really like who I turn into when I do it, I guess, is what it is. I turn into a monster. Monster. And I just go apeshit. Yeah, I mean, I'm really good. I mean, I got the bell. I won, but. But it ended up being a fight, a fan contest. And it was like, so.
Grace Ryder
Oh, you fought a fan.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Put me in the ring. I was so up.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. You're like, oh, you like my videos? She's like, yeah, they like him so much. And then you're.
Grace O'Malley
I'll destroy you. Cajun Punisher. That's. That was her name.
Grace Ryder
And you punched Face.
Grace O'Malley
I punched? Yeah. She has. And so then I felt terrible and I'm like, let's go get drinks.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, please. The least I could do.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, I've. I have, like, a lot of lore.
Grace Ryder
I was mostly interested in the walkout really is what I was excited about.
Grace O'Malley
Really all I was excited about.
Grace Ryder
I mean, mostly I was like one. Okay. Really what it was is one, I wanted to look hot while I was boxing. Of course, not possible at all. I want to show you. My phone's over there. I want to show you this video. It's in my Google Drive. Every time I scroll through, I see it and I. It's me, like at the end of the workout and you can hear my trainer being like, go, go, go. And I'm like, because your arms get so tired and you're punching but nothing's happening.
Grace O'Malley
What is the deal with those trainers? They are so chock full of great advice.
Grace Ryder
Oh, I was.
Grace O'Malley
It's not a cliche.
Grace Ryder
They're relentless. Real well. I asked him, I said, when I told him I had to lose 15 pounds, I was like, I have to lose 15 pounds by the end of the month. He's like, that's easy. We can do that. I was like, have you ever trained a fat person before? I was literally like.
Grace O'Malley
He's like, you just don't have the stamina. I'm like, I am literally. I'm couched to. To 5K here right now.
Grace Ryder
Like, you need to tone it down.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Like. And he's like, I'm gonna make you a beast. We don't have time. He's a really sweet guy. Shout out. Shout out. My boy Leo. But he was chock full of like, great. Like. Like really? I feel like I was in like a. A boxing movie where he was like, yeah, the sun only sets when you let it. Or like saying like that, like, I.
Grace Ryder
Don'T even let the sunset.
Grace O'Malley
Like, I don't know what he was saying, but like, it was stuff like that where I was like, I'm. I'm thinking too hard on this. I have to think with my hands. I don't know.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, I did run a mile on the treadmill. Non.
Grace O'Malley
For those of you listening, I gave a good solid handshake.
Grace Ryder
No stopping though. And I was like, wait. Cuz all I thought about was like, disappointing him. Yes.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
And I was like, keep going. Luckily, thank God. I actually think you saved me, cuz he was like, okay, we're gonna do cardio tomorrow. And then that's when I was like, I got like the news, like, I wasn't gonna do it. And I was like like, sorry, dude, can't come in. It's off.
Grace O'Malley
And he was like, they're throwing it. Yeah, yeah.
Grace Ryder
I Was like, she's gonna kill me. She's gonna kill me. But yeah. And I was like, that's the funniest.
Grace O'Malley
Fun facts we share.
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
And I almost forgot part of each.
Grace Ryder
Other'S lore in some way, which is so crazy. I'm excited for that.
Grace O'Malley
But what was your. Well, I guess that's. That's actually a question I have down the line.
Grace Ryder
Oh, short, short.
Grace O'Malley
I'll just ask you now because that was weird. A question I've been asking everybody is what is their walkout song? And there's a walkout song for boxing. That would be a different one. But what. Your walkout song for Stand up would be different. The.
Grace Ryder
The song I use for. For the New York creator thing. We both. Which also. We both did edits for that.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, we did.
Grace Ryder
Did you notice that?
Grace O'Malley
I noticed that. And you always smart epic mode. Wait, can we put it in? Sure, sure.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, awesome.
Grace Ryder
And that would probably be the song I would do the Aisha Radica. Literal legend. I'm a literal, literal legend.
Grace O'Malley
You spent a lot of time editing that because you know every.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah. And I was like, on cap cut. Like, paid full cap cut for all that, by the way, I heard. Because I needed.
Grace O'Malley
When I think of capcot, I actually think of. I'm not even kidding. Like, you know when people say things and like, for whatever reason, when you do that thing or you see that thing, it'll remind you of someone else.
Grace Ryder
It's cap cut.
Grace O'Malley
It's cap cut. Because I think of you saying in the green room.
Grace Ryder
I paid for the whole thing. I paid for all of cap also. Insane nervous energy in that green room from me.
Grace O'Malley
The green room was ea. Big.
Grace Ryder
Yep.
Grace O'Malley
It was a bird's nest.
Grace Ryder
It was business. I was, like, so nervous for that show for no reason. I was like. Because I had just. No. Oh, no, no, no. I did the John Marker thing after that.
Grace O'Malley
Okay.
Grace Ryder
I was, like, really nervous.
Grace O'Malley
I was like, well, it's nerve wracking. There's a bunch of, like, talented people all in one room and it's all industry and the people's friends.
Grace Ryder
So it's like I'm all literal, literal.
Grace O'Malley
You crush that edit, man. Mine was not as good.
Grace Ryder
No, it's like, like the highlight reel.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, I like, put together my, like, highlight reel. And it was just me doing characters. I don't do characters. Like, and then you come out and.
Grace Ryder
Just do stand up and they're like, oh, what was the.
Grace O'Malley
It was like, really let up with that. That was. There's no Care? Are you the care? Is this a character? I'm like, I have no idea.
Grace Ryder
Let me know. Send me the footage. I'll make you an edit.
Grace O'Malley
Is that a promise? Maybe.
Grace Ryder
Maybe that'll be like my side gig.
Grace O'Malley
Oh my God.
Grace Ryder
It's for comedians, dude.
Grace O'Malley
That's actually a really smart side gig. I'm not.
Grace Ryder
$400 for a 60 second and that they will pay. True. I should do that.
Grace O'Malley
I'm learning. People pay anything.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah. Do you have merch?
Grace O'Malley
Working on it.
Grace Ryder
Make it. They'll buy that.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, well, those idiots will buy it. I'm not talking. I know. I don't find you guys to be idiots. What's wrong with this person? Yeah, they think they have all these followers and that the debate of it all. No, here's the thing. I found out that comedians will pay top dollar for anything.
Grace Ryder
Really?
Grace O'Malley
I'm not gonna gatekeep that advice. If you do photography.
Grace Ryder
Oh, I see.
Grace O'Malley
Or videography, they'll pay anything. So just drop a price and get.
Grace Ryder
After it because know your worth.
Grace O'Malley
You know your worth. Don't. Don't be lowballing for funsies and for social gain. Because they will pay the price. They'll pay the price no matter what.
Grace Ryder
Maybe because they know what it's like to be roughing it and doing shows for no money.
Grace O'Malley
Absolutely. And they're like 100.
Grace Ryder
Let me pay you what you're worth. Because I know what my time is worth. I know what your time is worth.
Grace O'Malley
And that's what you hope. Every time. That's what you hope.
Grace Ryder
Love.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Moving on.
Grace Ryder
Trying to really get my like social like standing up. I'm like, they know they're down, baby.
Grace O'Malley
I'm gonna win every time. Just like I would have in that fight.
Grace Ryder
I want to have a black eye by the end of this, please.
Grace O'Malley
And your March hinge brand deal. You said you've never been on a date. Yeah, I've only been on three. This is like a date for us. Like a co host audition date. What are you hoping to get out of this?
Grace Ryder
Maybe like my first kiss?
Grace O'Malley
No, serious. Last question. Good, Great. No, for the creative portion of the audition, can we get you to do your famous interpretive dance?

Grace O'Malley
Moving on to the next segment. It's called in the Green Room. Right. Okay. So in your first and only substack post, you shared, New York City is full of hard working, real talented artists and people. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Which sounds hard and scary. I know I'm talented, but everyone else is talented. Can I put in the work question mark? My question is, how do you stop yourself from playing the comparison game when it comes to comedy and social media?
Grace Ryder
Oh, that's a really good question. I feel like it just happens all the time and you just have to remember there's space for everybody. Like, everyone has their own thing that they bring.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
And I mean, just think of the Internet.
Grace O'Malley
It's huge.
Grace Ryder
And the world is also huge. And just because one person is funny, that doesn't take away from you're funny or your talent. Everyone, there's room for everybody.
Grace O'Malley
Do you compare yourself ever?
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
Okay. Because the response you just gave was so political that I would think that you just live life and.
Grace Ryder
Oh, with like roses and.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Yeah. Like a rose. Colored lenses is what they say. I guess that it's a 70s term.
Grace Ryder
70S? Yeah. No, I definitely compare myself to people all the time in their career. Like, even now I was like, okay, Sabrina Carpenter's 25. I need to be performing at Coachella by this time.
Grace O'Malley
And so you're going into music.
Grace Ryder
Music. But yes, I compare myself to other people and I get very jealous.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Like, to bring it up, I feel like I, like, made you have to think about it. But no, no, no.
Grace Ryder
I like talking about that. I like talking about how other people are more successful than me. And then I feel like, hate myself. But also, I think I was a.
Grace O'Malley
Great answer and I should have moved on.
Grace Ryder
Oh, no, no. Well, because also, like, I want to give like, the real answer too, of like, I mean, that is. Is. I believe both of these things.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I believe there is room. So, like, when you do get jealous and envious of people, also remember there's space for everyone and like. But I think competition also breeds good stuff.
Grace O'Malley
Success. Success.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah. Like, makes you work harder and makes you want to do stuff. But yeah, it's very easy to compare yourself also now with social media because you can see the numbers.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
You can see the engagement. You can see who's doing what. But that's.
Grace O'Malley
That's the thing that drives me mad is because I'll see people and it is always a numbers game whether people want to admit it. Or not. But I will see people who. Who have a hilarious, like, skit and the numbers aren't there. And, like, it's like, what are we doing here if we're going to compare numbers? That's hilarious. That's a very funny thing. Why? It doesn't always get pushed. That's the other thing.
Grace Ryder
No, yeah. Numbers. I mean something, but they don't mean something. But then sometimes I post things and I'm like. And then it gets like a lot of likes. And then I'm like, like, well, that's crazy. And then you post something you care about and it flops.
Grace O'Malley
You reckon that's always a thing, right? It's like something you actually like and like, you worked hard on. And you're like, oh, this is gonna hit. And it just doesn't hit.
Grace Ryder
No. And then it just doesn't hit. And then I'm like, okay, so everybody hates me and I'm awful. But that's not true. And I'd much rather do last week.
Grace O'Malley
When I hit 2 milli.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. For doing Bloopy Bloopy. You know, and it's like, I don't know. I think I'd much rather do the things that I actually enjoy. And then eventually you'll find the audience and I feel like you just have to keep posting or keep trying and keep doing stuff because you will find your audience. Also, it's an algorithm.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, that's true.
Grace Ryder
So, like, you could post something at 2pm and it flops. But if you say if you were to post it at 4:00pm yeah. Oh, my God.
Grace O'Malley
You could be on Jimmy Kimmel or something. Yeah. That's so nuts.
Grace Ryder
It could. It could be that simple. I don't know if it is. I don't know science like that.
Grace O'Malley
I've never. I mean, you can put a grill together and I can't even do that.
Grace Ryder
If I can put a grill together, probably figure out the TikTok algorithm.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. I mean, that's just women in STEM, like we said, you know, they correlate correctly.
Grace Ryder
I mean, it's the same thing. You're right. You're right. That's probably the skills I'd bring.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yes.
Grace Ryder
Is my grill knowledge will translate to computers, so I could edit and do all this sound stuff. Sonny, goodbye. Don't need you. I can build a grill.
Grace O'Malley
Please stay.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, please stay. Yeah, please stay. Scared.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. She's fucking crazy. Get her out of here.
Grace O'Malley
No, this is a fun little bit we're doing.
Grace Ryder
And now I'm scared.
Grace O'Malley
Don't be scared.
Grace Ryder
Okay.
Jamie Lynn Sigler
I want to make you feel welcome.
Grace O'Malley
No, but you have it. You know, you always. I was looking at your feed and you. You've got bangers after bangers, basically. And you have a sneaky little. A sneaky little following on YouTube.
Grace Ryder
Oh, the sneaky little. Well, yeah. And there's the thing that flops is that dance. The music video I made.
Grace O'Malley
Well, and you waited months to post that.
Grace Ryder
I was like. Like, this is going to put me on the map. I was like, this is gonna be amazing. 15k. It's sitting at maybe 10k. Probably 10k for which.
Grace O'Malley
Who cares? You rocked it. You loved it.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, I had fun. It was honestly a really good time.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Do you read your comments?
Grace Ryder
I skim. I skim them like the.
Grace O'Malley
Like the daily paper.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I'll be like, what's going on?
Grace Ryder
And I go, okay, we're good.
Grace O'Malley
All right.
Grace Ryder
You read yours?
Grace O'Malley
All of them?
Grace Ryder
Really? Are you coming?
Grace O'Malley
Are you? Like, I respond. I try to respond.
Grace Ryder
See, that's.
Grace O'Malley
I try to do my very best, but sometimes I'll see a bad one that I don't want to answer to, and so I'll just. Everybody loses.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Do you delete them?
Grace O'Malley
No.
Grace Ryder
Because of engagement?
Grace O'Malley
No, just because, like, I think. I think it's fair to have an open forum.
Grace Ryder
I agree.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I agree.
Grace O'Malley
I don't. I don't hide any words. I. And although it hurts me, I think it's fair and just. If you could describe your audience in three words, what words would you use?
Grace Ryder
Oh, gay. Ooh, this. Gay, Gay, gay, gay, gay and more gay. Wow. Gay. Jesus. I literally cannot think of another word.
Grace O'Malley
They just can't.
Grace Ryder
I can't think of another word. Gay. Artists. Artists.
Grace O'Malley
Art.
Grace Ryder
Artistic. Artistics. Artistic. And then probably fat.
Grace O'Malley
I love all my fatties.
Grace Ryder
I love all my fatties. But yeah, no, yeah, they're like, creative and. Yeah, they're creative.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. I need you on a red carpet so bad. I want you answering questions from, like, imbd. And they're like. And how do you. Oh, my God. Just so amazing. What? These gay fatties. It's amazing.
Grace Ryder
No, I need me to give me.
Grace O'Malley
A nomination from the gay fatty community, the gay fatty award.
Grace Ryder
Thank you so much. And I'm wearing, like, like a cape.
Grace O'Malley
My.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah. I'm like. I'm like, thank you to the Academy of gays. Academy of gays for bringing me here.
Grace O'Malley
I like this character.
Grace Ryder
Wait, okay, should I do this for the audition tonight instead? Whip out a whole new character? My manager's like, what the fuck?
Grace O'Malley
The goo.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Me on a red carpet.
Grace O'Malley
Thank you, Ant Scene. Fast forward just a couple of years from now we're going to be seeing that and you have to make a promise that that's what you'll do.
Grace Ryder
Well, I really like, actually I want to be on red carpets, like wearing crazy outfits. Do you want to as well?
Grace O'Malley
I would love to be on a red carpet, but I don't want anyone to look at me or take pictures.
Grace Ryder
Well, that is all of it. That is the whole point of a red carpet.
Grace O'Malley
I know. I. I don't like it.
Grace Ryder
You don't like the little Getty image thing on your Instagram and you're like.
Grace O'Malley
Oh my God, I've got. I have some Gettys there. Scaries.
Grace Ryder
Wait, yeah, no, no, I saw the paparazzi was all over you.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. I don't know what the hell that was like.
Grace Ryder
It was.
Grace O'Malley
I think the club called them on May.
Grace Ryder
Wait, seriously?
Grace O'Malley
It's great promo for the club. I was in Philadelphia and I was performing. I had six shows and I think they might have dialed them up because what do you feel? You Rotzi are in Philadelphia.
Grace Ryder
That's a really good point.
Grace O'Malley
But you know, the Kelsey's live there, so maybe. I don't know.
Grace Ryder
And that is.
Grace O'Malley
That's football.
Grace Ryder
Football. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Also. Yeah, football, but also Taylor Swift, Kylie, Kelsey. No, we won't have to go there. They are their own people as well.
Grace Ryder
Sure.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. But you are correct in Kylie. Kelsey in your spider web. Kylie, Kelsey, she has a podcast and she's a rock star.
Grace Ryder
And she's rock star.
Grace O'Malley
She's a sweetheart.
Grace Ryder
She's a sweetheart.
Grace O'Malley
She rocks.
Grace Ryder
And she rocks the sauce. And she gets. Gets paparazzi. That I'm sure of.
Grace O'Malley
At Philadelphia.
Grace Ryder
Yes, at Philadelphia. Right. Because the Eagles. Congratulations to them.
Grace O'Malley
All. Right. Grace.
Grace Ryder
Yes.
Grace O'Malley
You recently have entered the stand up scene. What has been your favorite show you have done? And I messed up my words here. I'm not really sure what I meant.
Grace Ryder
Me every day, me on this podcast.
Grace O'Malley
My apologies.
Grace Ryder
And goodbye. And goodbye. My favorite show. I really haven't been on many. Oh, I. Oh, I have the Stamp Town. Oh, you did? I've done Stamptown twice now. Let me tell you. Closest thing to what it feels like to be in the circus.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God, those comedians.
Grace Ryder
I'm like, holy. I'm like, they're so free. They're so like. And that's another thing of like bringing it back to the naked part. I want to be naked on that Damn stage.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
And I totally could.
Grace O'Malley
You did do the naked.
Grace Ryder
No, not yet, but I want to.
Grace O'Malley
You will do naked.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Well, my first thought, because I was like. Well, because they're the type of, like, comedy that's, like, let's, like, piss in a bucket and throw it on ourselves.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, it's. It's like, crazy. But we had Zack Zucker on.
Grace Ryder
Oh, you did?
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. He's a rock star.
Grace Ryder
He's a sweetheart. I love him.
Grace O'Malley
He's so cool.
Grace Ryder
Oh, he's so cool. He also speaks, like, French and Spanish. You know this?
Grace O'Malley
Yes, he's. Did he speak some of that clown?
Grace Ryder
Yeah, he's.
Grace O'Malley
And calling him a clown sounds awful, but he is clown.
Grace Ryder
Clowns are cool as hell.
Grace O'Malley
But, you know, usually people, when they say to me, like, oh, you clown. It's derogatory. These clowns, they're. They're praised.
Grace Ryder
Neil Patrick Harris was on the show.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. So you just did last Tuesday?
Grace Ryder
I did last Tuesday.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, no way. Or Monday. One Monday.
Grace Ryder
Oh, Monday.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
Yes. Monday. The days. The days. Who can remember them? That's why they make calendars. But yeah, no Stamptown Slays if you guys can go see it. It's super fun. Neil Patrick Harris was there, and I was trying to be so cool about it.
Grace O'Malley
He's always wearing a. A. A vest. Yeah, a vest. My sister pointed that out. I'll give credit where credit's due. No, no, a vest. I always wear a vest.
Grace Ryder
Always wearing a vest. He was there, and I was like, like, whatever. I was like, oh, you're a performer. And I did not np. Yeah. Does he go by his full name? Like, when I introduced myself? I didn't introduce myself. I was too scared.
Grace O'Malley
You didn't. We were on the same show. That's you. That's grounds for. It is a handshake.
Grace Ryder
But I was like, I feel like he's. He's coming in, dropping in to do Stamp Town just to be like, what.
Grace O'Malley
I got off stage. No.
Grace Ryder
Well, I mean, his bit was just, like. It was just supposed to be, like, a long thing, but he's down to, like, clown.
Grace O'Malley
Okay. He was literally.
Grace Ryder
Quite literally. He was, like, pouring the beer all over. He's spitting beer into Zach's mouth.
Grace O'Malley
Like, oh, my God. Little baby bird action.
Grace Ryder
Literally, baby bird action. So I'm like, wait, maybe I should have just been like. He's just like, a chill dude who just wants to, like, goof.
Grace O'Malley
I guess you could get him on the next Flip. Flippity flop.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, I'll Be like, by the way, Neil. May I call you Neil?
Grace O'Malley
Mr. Patrick Harris.
Grace Ryder
And it makes sense people call him by his full name because Neil does not sound like a real person.
Grace O'Malley
Neil.
Grace Ryder
Neil Patrick Harris. It needs to be.
Grace O'Malley
It has to be the full thing.
Grace Ryder
Whoever, like, decided that that's his full thing is very smart because that sounds.
Grace O'Malley
Like someone who would work at Ace Hardware.
Grace Ryder
Neil. Yes. Just Neil.
Grace O'Malley
Neil. Where the nails?
Grace Ryder
Neil. Neil is at at Ace Hardware. Neil Patrick Harris on stage.
Grace O'Malley
On stage at Stamptown.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, that's a star.
Grace O'Malley
That's the difference.
Grace Ryder
That's the difference. And so anyway, Stamp Town.
Grace O'Malley
All right, I'm gonna go back to this. In your subjects post basically a love letter to New York and why you chose to move here.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
You say, I hope the city turns me into the person I want to become. Who is the person you want to become?
Grace Ryder
And I wrote that on my subject.
Grace O'Malley
Right. Every day is a new day for which you cannot remember. Honey, I think you have dementia.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, well, you know, on both my grandmas, one day.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God, that's terrible. That's not good odds. I know, right? It's really bad. I know, right?
Grace Ryder
And my mom's always like, h. Like, do a puzzle.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, Literally. I'm like, mom, read a book. I'm like, mom, read a book. Or like, go on a walk and talk at the same time.
Grace O'Malley
Play ch with your friends or something. Like.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, she.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, the minute your mom starts going, h. Like, oh, what's happening?
Grace Ryder
Yeah, she's like, what's the. And I'm like, oh, no, please don't. Please don't. So, yeah, odds for dementia, not looking good.
Grace O'Malley
Not looking good to the camera. So you can remember.
Grace Ryder
Odds for dementia, not looking good.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, they're gonna play this at your memorial. She died too young.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. At least she said all like the funny stuff before she forgot it all. Truly true.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, that's why every day's a mystery for you.
Grace Ryder
That is. That is.
Grace O'Malley
Sorry to bring it up.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, no, no, absolutely. That's fine. Every day is a mix mystery.
Grace O'Malley
We can move on.
Grace Ryder
No, but who would I like to become? That's a great question. I feel like I'd like to be nicer.
Grace O'Malley
I think if. I think. Are you doing it for the camera?
Grace Ryder
No, I really. I feel like. Oh, and this pissed me off. Have you seen this interview? Actually, I take that back. I'd like to be meaner. I'd like to be more real. Cuz I feel like I am nice, but I am like, okay, like, say, actually, what you're thinking. And don't be so afraid. That's people pleasing.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I think I'm a people pleaser. So, like, I'm like, wait, am I being nice? Because I want people to like me? Which is a fine reason to do things, but I'm like. Or am I just being nice to be nice?
Grace O'Malley
Like, there's an awakening that happens sometimes, and it's like, oh, my. I just recently kind of figured this out. Not figured it out, but, like, came to the realization, like, oh, I am a people pleaser, and I will do that. So I'm working on that. But there's a fine line between people pleasing and being a bitch. And.
Grace Ryder
Yes. Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
It's. It's a slippery slope. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
And I don't want to be a bitch.
Grace O'Malley
No.
Grace Ryder
But I want to also be real and honest, and, like, if I'm uncomfortable or, like, don't want to do things, like, just.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Say no.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. It's important to realize, you know, that.
Grace Ryder
You'Re a people pleaser.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Because you can kind of like, notice when you're doing it and, like, find yourself maybe standing up for yourself every once in a while. Serious and gushy.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. And now I'm like, wait, am I even a people?
Grace O'Malley
Please?
Grace Ryder
I don't even know. I don't know. I think.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, that's a crazy question. Who's the person you want to become? Like, I. I don't. I would never answer that up. Like, I don't know what my answer would be. I don't know. My mom. I want my mom.
Grace Ryder
And in some ways, I feel like I am the person I want to be. But, like, you're always changing. So I'm like, I don't know who it'll be. Well, to. This morning, today, I was like, maybe I'm a dancer.
Grace O'Malley
See, this is what. This is what we're looking for.
Grace Ryder
I was like, maybe I. The person I'd like to become is more of a dancer. Let me dance more than I'm dancing now.
Grace O'Malley
She wants to dance.
Grace Ryder
That's who I want to become, is more dance. Dancy. Dancy. I should drop everything and go to Broadway.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, wow.
Grace Ryder
And be a dancer.
Grace O'Malley
Just screw it.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. They're gonna love to hear that. They've been working for years.
Grace Ryder
Well, they're like, sure. Just be on Broadway.
Grace O'Malley
Call Charli D'Amelio up.
Grace Ryder
Yo, Charlie. Let's trade places. Charlie, baby.
Grace O'Malley
Charlie. You. I'm you for the night. You. You. Me. You do. You do Stamp Town. Good luck. Have fun.
Grace Ryder
Oh, My God. Charlie on Stamp Town. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we love that. Got to get her on.
Grace O'Malley
All right, let's move on to this one. You dedicated an entire tick tock to Jasmine Rice. Are you the type of person that would have food hyper fixations? What was your recent one you have had?
Grace Ryder
Yes, I feel like I am the type of person that eats, like, one thing all the time. Tuna salad right now.
Grace O'Malley
Tuna salad.
Grace Ryder
Tuna salad. I know how to make and make it good, and so I make it all the time.
Grace O'Malley
Have you ever had a food hyper fixation where it's gone too far and you can't eat it anymore?

Grace Ryder
Yes, you trick her.
Grace O'Malley
You trick her into coming in May because May is the best time to be here.
Grace Ryder
Yep.
Grace O'Malley
And then you don't tell her about the summer.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
You don't tell her about the winter.
Grace Ryder
Nope.
Grace O'Malley
You bring her back in the fall. Look how lovely it is. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
It's so nice. It's just like Wisconsin. You know, the leaves are falling. It's beautiful.
Grace Ryder
Seasons, seasons, you know those.
Grace O'Malley
They don't have to know about the ones the hard ones. The hard ones. No way.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I tricked her.
Grace Ryder
But you're happy to be here? Yeah. Yeah. Is it nice having your sister, though?
Grace O'Malley
I'm not religious, but it's a blessing.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Do you guys also go on tour together?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. Oh, yeah, she. So it's really nice to have her with, honestly.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, I feel like, like, since moving here, I've met, like, a lot of people just from, like, going to events like yours or, like, doing shows and stuff. And it's great to meet all these people, and I love it. But it is really nice to, like, be known by someone where you can be, like, totally yourself and, like, you don't have to. Not that I'm putting on an act, but you are. It's like your social battery. You're. You are sort of.
Grace O'Malley
You know, it takes about 5 hanks to be yourself.
Grace Ryder
Yes, exactly. And it must be just, like, so nice to just, like, have your sister here to be like. Like, yeah, this is me. And totally accepted. How lovely is it to be known.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, God, it's so nice.
Grace Ryder
That's so beautiful. So that's kind of what I'm missing too here, is I'm like, ugh. Like a good friend.
Grace O'Malley
Well, that's what. That's why I. I rapid fire these intimate questions, you know, within like, an hour. I do it on camera so you have to answer, and then you become friends when you leave. You know, it's like. That's not simple.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Okay. Good. Good.
Grace O'Malley
I hope you consider me a pal, because I consider you one. Grace.
Grace Ryder
I do, too. We gotta get the grace.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, I know. So our third missing grace. Triplet is grace. Cool instrument.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I can never get it.
Grace Ryder
I know. I never got it, too. But it's. It's simpler than it's spelled.
Grace O'Malley
Damn Germans. Yes.
Grace Ryder
Yes. Jesus.
Grace O'Malley
But she is a rock star. And I think the three of us. You had the idea for the three of us to start a show. Sorry. Clearly didn't happen.
Grace Ryder
That's fine. It could happen.
Grace O'Malley
But we could do a live show.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. I think it should be, like, the Amazing Graces.
Grace O'Malley
I think. Oh, wow.
Grace Ryder
Or something.
Grace O'Malley
We all come out to Amazing Grace. Yes.
Grace Ryder
Yes, exactly.
Grace O'Malley
We sing each other out.
Grace Ryder
Yes. Yeah. Wait. Oh, like. Or singing to, like, the walkout.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The other two on the side. Yeah, yeah. We'll walk the other one out.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. You guys will come see that, right? Yeah, 1000% they'd come see that. We could do that in a theater, no problem. Stadium, Madison Square Webster. Webster hall.
Grace Ryder
Maybe with our graces across the Internet. The grace fandom. I love.
Grace O'Malley
So many gay people in one room.
Grace Ryder
So many gay artist fatties in that room.
Grace O'Malley
I wonder. I wonder what she'd bring.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, I wonder. I don't know. Probably a lot of straight people. She's very straight. That's her whole.
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Long term boyfriend, long term, committed. She's always longing for. I don't ever see him in the videos.
Grace Ryder
I know. It's which I respect. Like keep the relationship private, but talk about it all online, you know.
Grace O'Malley
And that's the way to do it, baby.
Grace Ryder
The way to do it is never guessing. But keep them guessing.
Grace O'Malley
But there is no guest there. She's a straight woman.
Grace Ryder
She's a straight woman.
Grace O'Malley
Yes, of course.
Grace Ryder
And that's my favorite thing about her.
Grace O'Malley
I think she lives in Murray Hill actually.
Grace Ryder
Is that a joke about only straight people live in Murray Hill?
Grace O'Malley
Yes.
Grace Ryder
What is that?
Grace O'Malley
I live Marie Hill. Oh, no, it's. It's where frat boys live.
Grace Ryder
Oh, I vaguely knew this. It's like the new, like financial, like their work.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grace Ryder
Gotcha copy. I'm learning things here.
Grace O'Malley
A great question to follow up on the last one.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
How does your family make you funny?
Grace Ryder
I don't know. My mom's very funny. She likes the far fart stuff.
Grace O'Malley
Okay.
Grace Ryder
And my dad, which was your first viral video? It's just like the only viral videos is just the fart.
Grace O'Malley
You have hella vibes.
Grace Ryder
Well, I mean like the ones that really hit. Everyone loves farts and boobs. Yeah. No, no. My dad's really funny. My mom's funny, my sister's funny. I don't know. How did that affect it? I don't know. I guess we're all just like goofing. Oh, my mom really likes the BBC, so she was watching a lot of like.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
So my mom, I had this black boyfriend that she would have sex with often.
Grace O'Malley
The more I watched some more, I found humor in it all. Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I was like, it's funny that my dad just lets this guy have sex.
Grace O'Malley
With mom and they call him Cooky. I don't know what that meant.
Grace Ryder
They called that Cookie. And I'm like, okay. But he.
Grace O'Malley
There's Chucky.
Grace Ryder
All right.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I'm like, his name is Chuck. Please leave him alone. But he just plays Madden while mom and Guy have fun.
Grace O'Malley
Guy.
Grace Ryder
Guy. I don't know his name cuz mom says I shouldn't know.
Grace O'Malley
It was a new one every week.
Grace Ryder
New one all the time. So I Think Mom's sexual. Like, promiscuity sort of made me free in my body, which. Yeah. Which made me free in comedy.
Grace O'Malley
Lovely. I said the word glass. Did you hear that? I just said glass. Glass. I think I meant to say class or something, but I said glass, and my mom.
Grace Ryder
Glass. I love that. Glass. Glass.
Grace O'Malley
Speaking of which, you're from Wisconsin, which means, do you ever pour yourself a glass of milk?
Grace Ryder
Oh, it all makes me gassy. I don't.
Grace O'Malley
Intolerant. That was the next question.
Grace Ryder
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. But I love it and I eat it. But it's not like the lactose intolerant, where I'm, like, going to be out after the meal. It's more like it's going to be everyone else's problem because I'm farting and eventually I'll have diarrhea. But it's, like, not my problem when you're bombing. Yes. Yes.
Grace O'Malley
What is your emergency backup strategy to get them back? I don't think you bombed, though, because.
Grace Ryder
I haven't performed much.
Grace O'Malley
How much. How many shows do you think you've done? Like, more than literally.
Grace Ryder
Not even. I think, three.
Grace O'Malley
Oh.
Grace Ryder
Like, I really haven't been doing much.
Grace O'Malley
Oh.
Grace Ryder
Since I got out here.
Grace O'Malley
My apologies.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I promise you, when it happens, I'm going to cry for probably a couple weeks after.
Grace O'Malley
No crying.
Grace Ryder
Okay.
Grace O'Malley
No crying in baseball.
Grace Ryder
Okay. You're right, Dylan.
Grace O'Malley
See your weakness.
Grace Ryder
Okay, I won't cry.
Grace O'Malley
All right.
Grace Ryder
But I feel like comedians can always save it with. All right, well, that joke bomb. And then everyone goes.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. It's like, you know. Yeah. No, it kind of works like that.
Grace Ryder
So I feel like it's totally fine.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
I feel like you just be like, oh, well, that was bad, and move on. And it's so cool to see.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Because they don't care. I mean, they do care, but they don't.
Grace O'Malley
But they don't show it on stage.
Grace Ryder
They don't show it on stage.
Grace O'Malley
That's the best part. Wow, that's crazy, because when I saw you, you were so fantastic. My apologies. I'm getting choked up. You're so fantastic, and I can't believe you haven't gone up since. Really?
Grace Ryder
Again, it's the fear.
Grace O'Malley
Okay, so next Tuesday, my show.
Grace Ryder
Okay.
Grace O'Malley
You have to just lock it in. And I know that's. But.
Grace Ryder
And then I will come and I will do it. That's the thing is, like, if it's.
Grace O'Malley
On the calendar two Tuesdays from now. How's that sound? You want two weeks? No. Think about it.
Grace Ryder
Let's do Tuesday.
Grace O'Malley
Okay, but do you want to do next Tuesday or the Tuesday after that?
Grace Ryder
Let's do next Tuesday.
Grace O'Malley
All right. See you next Tuesday.
Grace Ryder
That was so smooth.
Grace O'Malley
I love it. All right. Okay, so this next segment is called the Write in Room. This week we asked our viewers to submit a time that they felt the most disgraceful. Here are their submissions and you just kind of will discuss if it was disgraceful or not, you know? Okay. Yeah, I was hooking up with a guy, but I was depressed. He said, if you're gonna kill yourself, can you suck my dick before Jesus.
Grace Ryder
If you're gonna kill me?
Grace O'Malley
Disgraceful on his part, not on hers.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, ladies, no glass there.
Grace O'Malley
No glass.
Grace Ryder
No glass.
Grace O'Malley
No glass.
Grace Ryder
No glass.
Grace O'Malley
Absolutely no glass by him.
Grace Ryder
No glass by him.
Grace O'Malley
Oh my goodness.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, that's glassless. Glassless. That man. And yeah, no, that's. I feel sorry for this person.
Grace O'Malley
I'm sorry, Miss Girl.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, let's give her a hug.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, I wish I could hug.
Grace Ryder
If you're gonna kill yourself, suck my dick first. Did he come? Because that might put me over the edge. That would didn't even come.
Grace O'Malley
I would have to really get the job done. I feel like. Because then I'm like, like, oh, now I have work to do.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
All right. You know what? This actually top this off.
Grace Ryder
I mean, if it's the last thing you're ever going to do, better be the best dick sucking you've ever done. Cuz that's your legacy. That's the last thing you've ever done.
Grace O'Malley
Sally sucker.
Grace Ryder
Sally sucker. Never suck dick in my life.
Grace O'Malley
You've got the right idea. Yeah, that's exactly how you.
Grace Ryder
They're like, oh my God. Play it like a harmonic Monica.
Grace O'Malley
That's intimate.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Glass.
Grace O'Malley
Okay. Another disgraceful moment someone has had is having a. They had an entire frat discuss at a chapter whether or not I in a trash can at their party.
Grace Ryder
Wow.
Grace O'Malley
Wait, wait, wait.
Grace Ryder
So they didn't know.
Grace O'Malley
They were curious. They didn't know who the culprit was, but they were pretty sure it was this young woman. I suppose because I really only have female for fans.
Grace Ryder
Right, right. Same. Yeah. Glass. So she knew. She knew she pooped in it.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Grace Ryder
Oh, she knew. Okay. I don't know. That's kind of like epic.
Grace O'Malley
I know.
Grace Ryder
A frats trash can. I feel like they maybe deserve that.
Grace O'Malley
And probably because you know, their toilets are always clogged.
Grace Ryder
Oh, I see. Yeah, it was probably like a party and they're like, no Don't. Don't use the bathroom.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. She said, well, I gotta go.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. She was like, so I'm gonna go in your trash can. They probably had like a pledge like, eat her.
Grace O'Malley
Eat my shield. They helped her. This one says, told my 94 year old aunt. Okay. Too old for an aunt.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. Also, is the age important wedding.
Grace O'Malley
Told my 94 year old at her wedding, at least you didn't die alone. That's classic. I think that's classic.
Grace Ryder
Yeah. She's probably thinking the same thing. She's like, that was disgraceful at all.
Grace O'Malley
I think that was actually a triumph.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, that's a nice little. Depends on the relationship with the aunt.
Grace O'Malley
You think so?
Grace Ryder
Yeah, because some ants would be like, ow. Off.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, that's true. I probably would tell her to eat my.
Grace Ryder
Oh, eat my. You little turd.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, this. This person had sex in Washington Square Park. That's just a Wednesday here in New York City. Yeah. That's not disgraceful at all. That's just a. A coming of age story for a young woman. Put their ex's name on Craigslist and they got so many calls to the point where they had to change their number. That is rockstar. I like.
Grace Ryder
That's awesome revenge.
Grace O'Malley
I like a good revenge.
Grace Ryder
That's nice. That's better than like putting their nudes.
Grace O'Malley
Up online or sending them a bag of shit party.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, that's just like.
Grace O'Malley
That's good.
Grace Ryder
I like that.
Grace O'Malley
That was good.
Grace Ryder
Writing that down.

Grace Ryder
Currently? Yeah, I guess I don't know how to word this joke, so maybe you could give me pointers and tips on it. Yeah. So this would be for Stand up. So do you know how, like, girls, when they go to bed, they'll sometimes come up with like, a nighttime fantasy?
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yes.
Grace Ryder
Of like, oh, they're crushed. Like, maybe having sex with them or doing whatever.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. And that's what I've heard.
Grace Ryder
Yes. So my nighttime fantasy recently is. It's very, very pg. It's simple. It's just someone spooning me. But then they're putting their hand, like, holding my. My gut. Right? Like hand under gut. Gunt, gunt, gunty. So they're holding my gunty and we're spooning. And they go, I love your body. And I go, I believe you. And then I drift peacefully to sleep.
Grace O'Malley
So nice. I don't think that's funny at all. It just sounds really nice. I would really like that.
Grace Ryder
They were like, I love your body. And I'm like, I believe you. And it takes. It takes a couple times to say it. And I don't go to sleep until I. Until I believe it.
Grace O'Malley
I believe you. Kicking your heels. I believe you.
Grace Ryder
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
There's no place, like, just believing time.
Grace Ryder
I just want to live in that reality where somebody's holding my dumpty.
Grace O'Malley
That's so gorgeous.
Grace Ryder
And they're going, wait, that's gorgeous. I thought I was funny.
Grace O'Malley
My brain's sad. I think that's nice. I think that sounds really nice.
Grace Ryder
I mean, it's nice, but it's also.
Grace O'Malley
Like, it's not funny. I think. I think for sure that would be like, hilarious in a Netflix romcom. I believe you.
Grace Ryder
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's funny. And then she goes, believe you. And then boom, title card. And it's like the girl's making it in the city and she's like, walking down the street.
Grace O'Malley
She's like, that's basically you. When did you move here again?
Grace Ryder
December.
Grace O'Malley
December. So yeah. You're bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Grace Ryder
I am. I don't even know Murray Hill.
