Nora
Pedicab.
Grace O'Malley
Pedicab. When we're on the back of the pedicab, I'm going, let's go, Pats. Let's go, Pat. The guy driving the pedicab thought I was saying, let's go fast. And so he was like, I'm. I'm going as fast as I can. He goes, I'm trying. Because I'm trying. I'm really, I'm giving it. I'm giving it my. All foreign. Hi, guys. Welcome back into disgraceful. Into why not, not, not. You know, let's just start it off with a big bang. We're doing a solo episode again. Last time I did a solo episode, my brain was dumb. Dumb, mush bag. And now I feel cognitive. So we're back. We're boolean. Where are we? Oh, we're in my apartment. My apartment that I've lived in for two years. Got a beautiful view of Miss Girl back there. We address the Empire State Building as a lady, and at the end of the night, she dances for us. And what does that mean? Well, it just means she does Flashing colors to say, goodnight, everybody. It's time to go home. If the Empire State Building is not on, that means you're making troublesome decisions. That's what I've Learned in my 5 years of living in New York. If the lights aren't on, neither are yours. It's time to go home. But I. I never know when to go home. Truly except for right now. That's where we are. And you know what? I gotta give props to Nora. Nora's here behind camera.
Nora
What up, y'?
Grace O'Malley
All? Nora set all of this up. Even when I worked at Barstool and I was a producer, I couldn't figure out how to do that. I. I could edit, I could come up with ideas. But when it came to setting up cameras, I. Big dum dum. So snaps finora. Snaps all around. I don't know if you guys saw it. So did I mention I haven't ever decorated my apartment until now? Two years after. Two years after moving in. And it's just this corner. If you look at the rest of my house, bare walls, absolutely nothing. So this looks like I've got style and grace, but absolutely not. I'd like you to look if you're on YouTube or if you're not, switch on over. They're really making me push the YouTube shit. I really. And I'm not supposed to swear in the first five minutes, we're going to lose all who gives a hell a hell and hell and fuck. Yeah, screw you any who. We're going to direct our eyes over here. Now this is one of my favorite ideas I've ever came up with. This is my list of all my favorite places I've. I've done stand up at. Starting at Massachusetts, of course. I don't know. Can you see Mass? Can you see Mass? Oh, what do you. Oh, all right, sure. Okay. So starting at Massachusetts, then down to New York. California. Illinois. Illinois. Why Illinois? Chicago. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. That's a weird one. Philly and then Hawaii. So that's. That's my favorite. If I didn't mention your city,
Nora
It's
Grace O'Malley
because we just didn't have enough time. Okay. And not enough. Not. It's not that we didn't have enough time, we just didn't have enough wall. Okay. I just. I don't know. I'm proud of that. That means something to me. The rest of this knick knacky weirdos. Oh, actually that's my. That's my beautiful picture with my beautiful mother. She gave it to me for Christmas one year. It was, she said, the best day of her life ever. Which is crazy because, you know, she gave birth to four girls. Beautiful. And there was a marriage in there somewhere. And. Yeah, it's our picture. We've got John Krasinski, we've got. We've got Ben Affleck's brother Casey. We've got Stanley Tucci, we've got Matt Damon. Saw them outside of a restaurant one time, and. Well, I don't know if I've ever told this story, but I think on the other part, I did. But we left this restaurant called Chinese Tuxedo, if you're ever in New York. Great spot. I. People say it's cliche. I love it. I, I. We're probably gonna go there. Mom's coming tomorrow. I think she's already got a reservation. She. She just. She. Here's my mom's thing. My mom will just call us out of the blue and be like, guess who's coming Santa next year. She's like, no, I got a train ticket. Can you believe $15 round trip? Like that sounds made up. You could just say you want it to come through, and that's all good. But, yeah, no, she. She'll do, like, a little surprise visit here and there. And we're walking out of that restaurant, and I. I saw them. I saw them out of the corner of my eye, and I was. I tried to keep walking, but she. She saw them, and she lost a. And I kept walking, and she stopped right in her tracks, and she couldn't get over it. She. She was. She's like, since I kept walking, she was calling down to me. She was going, grace. Grace. Grace o'. Malley. Grace o' Malley from Barstool.
Nora
As if they would know what Barstool is.
Grace O'Malley
As if they would be like, oh, yo, Viva, we got to turn around. We got her. And she called me over, and I was like, hey, guys, I'm sorry. I know you guys, or just trying to, you know, go home. And my mom was talking. She's telling the worst thing you could do to someone who's a little bit older. She's telling Stanley Tucci, oh, Stanley, my mother loves you. My mother absolutely adores you. He goes, oh, is that right? And then she's coming on and on, and he's like, do you want a picture? I was like, yeah, that would be perfect. And I went to go take it for them. She's like, no, Grace, get the hell in here. This is Boston's finest. It's one of my favorite stories of all time. Speaking of stories, we've got stories galore. I have been on a generational run as of the last couple of weeks here. It started with I. I left Canada after you saw my. Whatever the hell that episode was. I don't know what the hell that. That was at all. It was. I don't even know how they clipped that together to. To even make of half of A sentence.
Nora
The last five minutes of it is also just footed four squares of different footage.
Grace O'Malley
That's actually some of my best work, though. Awesome. And we couldn't even use the clips. We had to use GIFs. And then I acted out. Five minutes of. That was me with just. I'm so exhausted, and I'm trying to even think of the plot of Back to the Future.
Nora
You're also zoned out the entire. You're looking at the ground. You're not even looking at the me or the camera. You're just looking behind me, just going, oh, Marty. No.
Grace O'Malley
Literally, my eyes are glazed over. I've got like, Auntie Mary eyes. Like, I, I, I just go cross. And I just. I don't know. I, I lost. I lost myself in that. But I'm back. I'm back and I'm better now after that. On Thursday, we got invited to go to listen to this mashup, Boiler Room X the Dare X Industry x hbo. And that was fucking. It was. It was a blast now. It was. It was funny to be at a, like, a Boiler Room set. I don't think I've ever been to, like, a proper boiler room set. I was just in Mexico for New Year's Eve, and there was a bunch of posters all over Oaxaca City. Oaxca. I think I said that, right? Oaxaca. And it said, bathroom, Boiler, bathroom. And I took a picture of it, and I went to go show my friends, and they had all also taken a picture of it. They're like, all right, well, we have to go. And we all went that night. And it was literally just a bunch of people packed into a bathroom with one DJ set you couldn't even get in. And it also felt like we were, like, crashing, I don't know, like, college party. We ended up just smoking cigarettes on the patio. But that was the closest thing I've ever been to a boiler room set. But I've been to, like, you know, a lot of the times the Boiler Room is. It's. It's dark. It's dark. I don't want to this up. The EDM community gets so mad. I got. I got canceled for hating Chris Lake once. And then I met his manager, and he said, what the was that all about? And I was like, hey, man, at least they were a good sport about it. You know what I mean? Anyways, but funny seeing you here, but anyways, we went to the Boiler Room. It's a little dark. Nora's never really been to, like, a bang bang boom, boom like that.
Nora
Not really?
Grace O'Malley
Not really. I mean, you went to Barry Can't Swim John Summit. John Summit can go dark. Ish. But not. Not as dark as what was going on.
Nora
Not really.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, this is the big thing that everybody who's. Who comes to visit New York, they're like, where are the songs with the words I don't understand? Like, I would like some words, please. And Nora said it at one point.
Nora
I was like, no, no, no, it didn't.
Grace O'Malley
You did. You did. You said. When you said, there's no words, are there? I'm like, there's absolutely no words. Oh, yeah. Because they were all, like, hyping up for the dare. Yeah. And it's kind of like the idea of it.
Nora
That makes sense.
Grace O'Malley
And so we went to that. I. It was interesting to. How do I say this lightly? Not be on any drugs at something like that. I was just literally. We were just literally. I'm like, open bar. Take advantage of it. And then once open bar was over, the line had calmed down and we were just running back and forth, going to get drinks.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And. Oh, we met the. We met the kid. What do you do for a living? Oh, yeah.
Nora
No, what makes you confident?
Grace O'Malley
Oh, what makes you confident? So what are you doing? What do you do for a living? And what makes you confident? Guys, very different people. Very different people. I met the what do you do for a living? Backstage at a dumbass concert once, and he literally said, hey, what's up? I've seen you around. Wait, what do you do for a living? I was like, don't. Don't fucking do this to me. Are you really doing this right now? He goes, that's what's up. I'm like, no, dude, seriously. He. He literally verbatim did it. And I watched him do it to, like, two more people.
Nora
Oh, my God.
Grace O'Malley
Literally hilarious. It's probably like the.
Nora
It is the best icebreaker. But not that you can't literally be
Grace O'Malley
on a script on and off camera. Yeah.
Nora
But like, also just in general, being like you're from la, just like, immediately saying, what do you do for a living?
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. Yeah, it's all brutal. But, yeah, it was decent enough. But this other kid, he was. He was. He was cracking me up. Him and his buddies were blasting off a little harder than we were.
Nora
I think those guys are having fun.
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Anyways, they had a bunch of DJs come out. There was some of the cast from industry was there. It was like a whole. It was like a whole to do that. The event started at Six ended at one. And there was like. You got to see that. Like, there was a screening. There was a caviar bumps at three. Or caviar. Caviar bumps at seven. And then the open bar will open up and then you're in a warehouse. And it was like the whole thing. We only made it to the warehouse part. We missed the caveat. But we were there. It was like, it was good because I don't. The line was wrapped around the block. Like, there was so many people on, like, the wait list to get into this thing and not to flex. But we. We got right in and there was just like, it was enough room to breathe, though. Usually those things are like, you pack like sardines. Everybody and their mother wanted to be on stage. You've seen a boiler room. Like, everybody packs onto that thing because you know you're going to be. You're going to be on a. You're going to be written in history when you're up there. Because you ever see any boiler room ever, it's always like one guy in the back going absolutely bonkers. And it's like legendary. Every time. There was one girl, she had earmuffs. She had it going on. I remember. Do you remember?
Nora
Oh, she was dancing. She was dancing.
Grace O'Malley
Always, like one superstar in the back of a boiler room.
Nora
It was awesome.
Grace O'Malley
Right before the dare went up, there was like this one space where everyone had to come in and come out. And the dare was walking onto stage. I look at him, I go, what's up, man? Have a blast tonight. He was like, hey, thanks, dude. And I was like, that was a pretty cool interaction. I usually don't have good interactions with people ever. It's usually just me, like, panicking, being like, my breath smells. Anyways, hi, how are you? But I just. I said that. I was like, have fun tonight. He was like, thanks, dude. And then immediately in front of us, me and the dare and Noni, a girl passed out. And she didn't just passed out. Like, her eyes were rolling in the back of her head. It was scary.
Nora
That was the scariest pass out I've ever seen.
Grace O'Malley
I've never, like, it look like an OD if I'm like, if I'm going to be OG about that. If I'm an od.
Nora
If I'm og, dude.
Grace O'Malley
She. She was literally odd. She was.
Nora
I've never seen someone, like. I've seen someone limp, like, forward, never fully backwards over someone's arms, eyes rolled back to the head, white dude.
Grace O'Malley
I know. It was like, really Scary like I
Nora
like, I hope that she's okay.
Grace O'Malley
And then he just had to go on stage from that and it was like, all right. I guess we're all just going to forget that girl. I think she made it out all right. I really hope so. If I was a prayer, I would have prayed for her. The next day, my dream came true. My dream. My dream, my hope, my wish, my love. I was the recipient of a Fred Again ticket and I couldn't even believe it. I, for weeks upon weeks was bothering any person I could to try to get tickets to Fred Again because I tried to get them at Presale. Didn't work. The last time he was in town, we, it was a whole to do me. Nora like ran to the place where we thought it was going to be at. It was like a bunch of people there. It was a lottery to get the ticket and we never made it in. I'm a like Fred Again. I'm a groupie to the day I die. I mean, his music is everything to me. Not to sound like a goofy goofball, but I fucking, I eat him up breakfast, lunch and dinner like there's no time of the day. That Fred Again does not work for me. I if you're wondering, hey, what are you listening to? Fred Again. Like, what do you do for a living? Listen to Fred Again. That's kind of what makes you confident. Fred Again. It's kind of how I feel. And I, the last time when we didn't get in, it was because I like, I was like, I don't want to ask any favors of anyone. I just want to try to get these tickets like, you know, like the good old fashioned way. Well, this time, fuck all that shit. If you have a connection and you're not making those dots connect, then you're a dumb ass bitch. You want something, you got to go and get it and you got to ask a favor. And sometimes when you ask a favor, you have to, you know, you have to swallow your pride. I try not to swallow my pride for, for this favor. I just kind of, I asked around quite a bit of if anyone knew anything about how I could get this ticket. And and then finally my manager, she was like, oh, well, you know, we represent him. I was like, dad. What? Dad? When Ellie? When the hell were you going to tell me you represent Fred Again? That is crazy to me. And so then I guess she was trying to get in touch with his manager. And finally the manager had sent a link for me to buy two tickets. And so I Bought those two tickets right away, super stoked. And me, me and my two buddies who we, all three of us, we adore Fred again. It makes us hug, cry, laugh, scream, and hug some more. And we got to go to Fred again for his. His big run. It was the USB tour. Each the coolest thing. If you don't know Fred again, the coolest thing he just did was he did a bunch of stops on a tour, and at each stop, he released a song out of the new album. He brought, like, guest stars, like, guest B. Two B's for each one. And then he did a residency in New York because he felt bad because, like, we're always like, come on, Fred. I want you to see me, Fred. I'm here. And he did a residency in New York, and it was the last weekend, and I was like, I don't think I'm going to get this. And I got him. And I was so, so grateful. But unfortunately, that day, I woke up so, so hungover. And so that was a late start for me. But we. We were able to get a little pre game in, and let's just say we had a goddamn blast. I mean, it was one of those nights where we did get in at 7am we were going. We were bopping around. We went to Fred Again. And then Fred Again had posted that this bar in Queens. That's where it was, in Queens. And this bar in Queens had been hosting, like, the pre game. So I was like, oh, we'll go there for the post game. We'll probably. He'll probably get a beer after the show or something. A little. Little Guinness action. And we were there. And we're like, yeah, it's like us. And like four or five other groups probably had the same idea. And we're like, all right, so this is. This is probably not where he's gonna be. And then our buddy took us to another place. See, these are the places I need to know about, the places that don't close. I love a place that doesn't close. Oh, my God. I love a place that doesn't close. Close this place. Everyone was having a blast. Everyone was on the same page. And then someone left. And when we saw someone leave, the door opened and we saw the sun. And it was bright. It was a bright, bright sun. It was the kind of sun that wakes you up in the morning. You go, oh, birds are chirping. Twiddly tea. Sun was shining bright. And I'll tell you what, when we saw that, son, we tried to ignore it, but Then one of my friends, he goes, I think we have to go. I said, yeah, I think we have to go. And we all got in the car and I accidentally called a girl I know and left her a voice, a voice message for about a minute and a half on the ride home. And she texted me. She goes, oh, my God, you guys have fun the other night? I'm like, yeah, why? I haven't talked to her in a while. And she goes, oh, because you left me a voicemail. God forbid. I'm out here in Brooklyn going absolutely crazy. Listen to this. We got a high. We got a guy hostage right now. Things are getting a little weird.
Nora
But
Grace O'Malley
I was like, oh, that's like my biggest nightmare. Leave a voicemail to someone and I don't know what I say. Oh, my God, that's a. That is. That. That'll. That'll stress you out. And then she said, no, no, no, it was. It was so cute. You guys were talking about how much of a good night you guys had and how. How much you guys wish you could do it more and more. And I was like, oh, wait, that's actually adorable. Send it to me. And we listened to it and it was like, dude, I just had so much fun tonight. And my other two friends like, dude, I love you guys. It was actually like the most adorable voicemail of all time. But what wasn't adorable is I got in at like 7:30 in the morning and I had a flight. I had a flight at 3pm flight. I did not pack for a flight. I didn't even really anticipate until right before I was about to go to Fred again. They were like, all right, you're good. You're going to be doing this thing. And I was like, okay, we're going to be doing this thing. All right, then I'll figure that out. Right? Exactly. When I have to. I. Yeah, yeah. I tried to sleep for as much as I could, and then it was time for the flight and I was like, time to pack. And I just threw a bunch of bullshit into a suitcase, into two suitcases. I don't even think. I don't even think I brought pants. I think I brought two pairs of pants. Thank God for the thing that I did, which. Very excited for you guys to see. I'm going to try and figure out what I can say about it, but thank fucking God that the thing I did had a stylist. Now, was it the best thing in the world for when I landed and had to go immediately to the stylist come coming down from a Fred again night. I wouldn't wish that. I'm a fucking worst enemy. Especially someone who doesn't like putting on clothes, you know? You know, I don't even change when I go. If I go to the mall or any, any, any store, I will just buy it and hope it fits. Because I will not go through what I went through. Middle school, high school, going into a fucking changing room and just crying and being so hot and then having to poop. I won't do that. I won't put myself through that. But when you have to, you have to. So I got on that flight. I'm fucking cross eyed, fucking feeling like a loser. Fucking. Oh my God. I slept the whole flight, thank God. Caught up on a little sleep. And when I got there it was, it was time to do dress up there. This is, this is my thing. I walked into this room, there's so many cool clothes and it like, it was like the coolest thing ever. Like all these cool clothes and it was literally like my little kid dream. But it's actually a nightmare because none of these clothes fit me. So it's like not fun. It's not fun to like be like, oh my God, that's so cute. Yeah, put on pants button, goes across the room. That shit's not fun, man. And it broke me. It broke me. I just met these people. They were awesome. They rocked. I would love to work with them again because they were so kind to me about how things fit and they got the vibe. I was trying to be so good about it because you don't. I was so stressed out that everything in me wanted to be a fucking bitch about it. But you can't be a bitch. Like no one wants to work with a. But it's a bitch to my own self. I'm bitching to my own self in my head and screaming. And I just started crying. Instead of bitching, I just started crying. I'm crying and they've got like two racks closed in so no one can see me changing. I'm just, I'm sure, I'm sure they heard me sniffling. I'm in the, I'm in between the two racks changing. I'm going to. Yeah, I love it. It's really pretty. And they were like, oh my God. Okay. Yeah. Okay, perfect. Here's the other thing. We'll just like, we'll try to find some other stuff. No worries.
Nora
We'll try to find some other stuff.
Grace O'Malley
And they did. They went out and got me like a Bunch of, like, really cool outfits, and they, like, went the extra mile. It was, like, really sweet of them, and I love them so much for that. It was really nice.
Nora
That's nice, because you could have just not had any clothes.
Grace O'Malley
I wasn't gonna have any clothes. I mean, I was gonna. And then also the other thing was, I don't know how to do my hair and makeup like a pretty girl. Right now I'm doing the. The curly hair girl thing where you think you can make a blowout lasts like everybody else. Nah, we're getting crazy. We're getting frizzy. I'm not saying I've had it for the same two weeks, this blowout, but I think they had hair and makeup shout out, Danielle, shout out. Jory met those girls. They were rock stars, hair and makeup. And, yeah, we did, like, a fun little. Fun little thing that'll come out soon. And that's about all I can say about that. I think. I don't think I can say much more. I will say that there were parts of me because of how much I've been going, going, going that fully all the way. Like, yeah, let's. Let's do this. I'm fired up to do this, and we're gonna have a blast. Like, there was a back of my head going, this, man, this is gonna be. This is gonna be hell. Shit, your brain's broken. But on the contrary, I've been trying to stay optimistic and keep, like, a. Not such a negative attitude. And so not that I'm like, a negative person in general. It's just like, I 7:00am night right to a flight, and then having to be Yoo hoo on camera. Sometimes there's not enough Adderall in the world for that. But what. What ended up happening was it saved my life because I don't. If I didn't go and go do that show, and then I had a blast on the show, met a lot of people again, I want to tell you more. It's good. It's coming out. I think it's gonna be on YouTube. It's nothing crazy, but it's definitely a blast. Definitely great production, and I think you guys gonna love it. But it saved my life because I. I think I would have just probably crashed for the. For the four days that I was there if I didn't go. And then right after I did that, went right from Utah to San Francisco, baby. And I met Nora at the Super Bowl. Hey, yo. Hell yeah. Foreign.

And since I packed. So I got a bunch of stuff on Fashion Nova. If you know me on everything, I will be fashion Nova. And I would know. We don't do fast fashion. But, honey, I do fat fashion, and that's what they got. They got my size. Okay, what are you gonna do? Fast fashion, fat fish. I mean, fashion over with the machine style. No, they're nice and loose for me now. I had to order a bunch of stuff to Passion Nova. The weirdest thing I thought was this hotel was like, oh, yeah, yeah, we have your packages. $5 each package. I'm like, for what? Like, oh, just so you can receive your package. I was like, yeah, that. That clocks. Yeah. I love that idea. That fucking rock on fucking loses. Yeah. But first night, we took it easy. The second day, we had to switch hotels. It was a whole gambit trying to get hotels for this weekend. And here's the thing. All the. All the industry people, they were all in San Francisco. The game wasn't even in San francisco. Is it 45 minutes away in Santa Clara? I mean, that's where the real people were at. Because we're walking around every day being like. Like, where are the fun people? Oh, yeah, the fun people are where the game's at, you fucking morons. Yeah, duh. But there was a lot of cool stuff. Was a lot of activations. Yeah. Just, like, different stuff going on throughout the. Throughout the week. I got invited to, like, all. All the. All the parties that they have there. And I'm not going to lie. I think I was picking the wrong ones. I don't know what I was doing.
Nora
It also is tricky because you have to talk to so many people to understand where everyone's going. And if you're not, like, you get so busy that you can't talk to everyone that, like, you don't know where everyone's going. So everyone just picks where they think is going to be best.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. And I, like, I was doing eeny, meeny, miny, mo. I love disco lines. Let's go. So we went.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
Jack's Fun House. Do we do anything in the day?
Nora
That day? We just explored.
Grace O'Malley
We just explored.
Nora
We just explored. There was circumcision protests.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. There was all these weirdos screaming about just cutting babies. Penises off about circumcision. I'm like, can we all just do some football for once? San Francisco is so weird. Man, I mean, everywhere you turn, there's a new vibe. And, like, that's, like New York, too. But I'm talking street to street. Like, where we were staying, they had. They had bodyguards who I thought. Nor thought that it was just, like, one guy waiting for an Uber.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And with two guys next to him wearing bulletproof vests. And Nora was like, oh, that guy must be famous. He's got two bodyguards with bulletproof vests. No, no, it's just this. The security for the hotel.
Nora
I mean, and security all over the street.
Grace O'Malley
It was.
Nora
I've never seen anything like that ever.
Grace O'Malley
And here's my thing. And I'm lucky in this sense. I'm not ever scared of where I am or what could possibly happen. I just. I walk around like, I. I have a dick. I. I really do. And I do understand that some people would be very afraid to be staying where we were staying. I mean, it was 24. Seven bodies, bodies, bodies. I mean, I think we. I think we've. I mean, in that week, I think we might have seen two people die.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, like, it was. The tally was just going up, which is awful. No, it's terrible. No fucking shit. I don't know. See, I wasn't even gonna say that.
Nora
What?
Grace O'Malley
I wasn't even going to say that's terrible because. Yes, that's a given.
Nora
Yeah, no shit.
Grace O'Malley
I don't know. I'm just on edge lately because everyone's out of their fucking minds.
Nora
Whoa.
Grace O'Malley
They are, though. I mean, I'm. I'm with every. Every. Cause with everybody, but everyone is just out of their minds. I mean, the whole thing with the football. Like, I already got so fucking fired up about the football because why the fuck do you care if somebody is speaking a different language? Oh, because you're dumb. Oh, because you're a jackass who can't read.
Nora
You just said about the football.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, the football. The football game.
Nora
About the football.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, the football game. Everyone's losing this. Oh, my God. Do you see the videos? You see the videos of the. The families that were watching the.
Nora
The other half inside liquor version.
Grace O'Malley
And then half were inside, half were outside, but they were still watching Bonito.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And they.
Nora
They were like. Yeah, they went out and obviously they're going outside, not inside. Yeah, the inside is staying put.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. That's insane.
Nora
I feel like if we still talk to the other half of our family, they would have done that. Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
100.
Nora
And we would be on our phones watching it.
Grace O'Malley
They would have shut off. They. I mean, I'M sure they did. Shut off the television.
Nora
Dude, I wish we had a extra camera there.
Grace O'Malley
Well, and here's the other thing. I. I do think at least speaking for the people in my family who. Who definitely switched to a different halftime show.
Nora
Insane.
Grace O'Malley
They're not even tech. Tech savvy, so they don't even know how to put on the other one. You. You idiots. You have to go from big screen to boom, boom. Google camera on your phone, you dumbass. Don't get me fired up. Anyways, we were having fun. We went to Shaq's fun house. We saw disco lines. We ran into Chloe Bridges and Adam Devine and we saw them last year at the Super Bowl. Yeah, we went twice last year. We were Eagles fans. Yeah, I don't know. I got it. I'm back to the Pats. I don't know if I've. I've declared that, but I've officially. I'm back. I'm never switching again. That was really fucked up. Never forget where you're from. It's like when people, like try to lose their accent. I don't like that. So anywho, we ran into them. We were like, oh, my God, super bowl friends. I was like, oh, my God, dude, I was fighting over there. What's up, guys?
Nora
And I completely forgot that you told them that you ripped ass in the corner.
Grace O'Malley
Well, yeah, I don't know. That's. See, this is what I'm talking about. Like when I see people, I just word vomit and I don't think about what I'm saying. And. And it causes me for a little bit of an issue. But. Well, you want to know why I was fought? Because we were. We were at. We. This is what I mean by we went to the wrong parties.
Nora
Oh, shit, I forgot.
Grace O'Malley
Yes, we went to the Nora said. It's Adele's husband's company.
Nora
Clutch.
Grace O'Malley
Clutch. We went to the Clutch party. Yeah, well, the only one I knew at Clutch was Cooch. Her husband Isaac is the only person I know there because. Want to know why? Because it was an athlete party. If we were like 2 like 12, 13 year old boys walking around that party, we would have been losing our minds because it was all current and ex football players, which I don't know.
Nora
We were saying it at. We were saying it at the time. We were like, we feel so bad right now.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, like, we shouldn't have been there. I don't like. See, this is what I mean. Like, I was doing eeny meeny money. Why did we go. But we took advantage. It was at a. It was at a nice restaurant. There was a lot of udur going around. I don't know how to say it or do it.
Nora
There was a whole full food setup and we were too scared to go.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, I mean, I didn't really. I mean, I'm not gonna go buy a linebacker, a wide receiver and a quarterback to go get a piece of ham.
Nora
Not if, If I went past a linebacker to go get like a. Like a sliced ham.
Grace O'Malley
You know what they say to me?
Nora
They would have thought I was.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, they would say, what's up, teammate?
Nora
That's where I was going.
Grace O'Malley
Let's go, coach. They would have thought I was one
Nora
of the long haired blondes on the team.
Grace O'Malley
Long hair blondes.
Nora
There's a lot of long hair blonde football players.
Grace O'Malley
See, this is. This is what I'm talking about. I don't know that. I don't know that. So we. Yeah, we were there and we just were kind of. We were kind of there as a pregame to go to Shaq's fun house. And we took advantage of the open bar 100%. We were throwing those back. I was pretty fucking twice it when I got there.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
When I. When we got to Shaq's fun house also while we were there, we sat in a corner and we came up with a pilot. So we were like.
Nora
And then. Oh, and then.
Grace O'Malley
Well, because. So we came up with a pilot. It's incredible. And I'm never going to talk about it because when you talk about things, it's just like, just do it. Nike and the football players told me that. And where we went. And we went to Shaq's funhouse. So as soon as we got there, I'm thinking about this pilot in the back of my head and I go and do the fucking. I do the red carpet thing. You should. I'm going to put the pictures in. Yeah. That's brutal. I gotta. I actually kind of want to do a video with somebody who, like, I want to do like a video with like a photographer and they can teach me how to pose because I do these things every carpet ever, which is like, what, four in my life by accident even every time I have to get my picture taken, I am goofball central. And they're like. And I. It's not even funny because, like, I'm going like. And they're like, okay, all right. Now that's. That is cool. Now I do it because I can't take anything serious. Like, imagine me personally just going, that's not. That's not me, man. That's not me. But the red carpet thing is. And it's. It was funny because I got to show Nora, you go through the red carpet, and there's only, if you're lucky, like, one person who wants to either take your picture or. Or interview of you with the tiny microphones. So we're going through, like, the step and repeat. And nor is recording me, like, following behind. And I go, yeah, watch this. Absolutely nothing. And then someone called me over and she goes, who are you most excited to see this week? And I go, matt and Ben. Like, as if, like, like, like we're on a first name basis.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, another time I did that and I said, I love. I love. I love Matt Affleck. I was just a combined. Like, I really love Ben, Damon. Those are my guys. Ben, Damon, Ben. And I really want to see Ben and Damon, Affleck and Damon. And she goes, oh, are they here? I go, I don't know, but I got a pilot I really need them to read. That never came out. No one gives a. She also asked me a lot of questions about previous. My previous marriage. And, you know, I was trying to keep things light hearted, you know. Yeah, I think. I think I did a good job. Yeah. Yeah.
Nora
I was just saying it how it
Grace O'Malley
is, because she goes. Then she goes, I'm only saying it because it never came out. And it's funny to me. She goes, the. The interviewer, she goes, oh, yeah, you. You guys are both from Boston. I go, yeah, like Matt and Ben, it like, fully brought it all the
Nora
way back around, dude.
Grace O'Malley
It was like such a. I was like, you know what? Handle that like a pimp. Nora's been saying pimple. That's not my fault. That's not my fault.
Nora
Well, because I'm watching shrinking. And she calls him pimp.
Grace O'Malley
She does.
Nora
The daughter calls Harrison Ford pimp.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, that's right. Yeah. Shout out Lisa Gilroy. But we went. We went and we did shack and oh, sorry, little all over the place. We saw our super bowl pals and we were shooting the shit and we were talking and she was like, are you going the game? And I was like, no, but I am telling everybody that I would love to if they want to get rid of their tickets. I know sometimes people just, like, hand them off. That's what happened to me last year. We got really, really lucky, me and Nora. And she was like, all right, well, I'll keep my ears out. And that was that. The next day I went To. We went, we went to Doritos, and we went and did. I did the job I came to do. It was sick. Honestly. Had a blast. It was just, I was wearing heels, a little booty heels. By the end of it, I was like, I'm going to pass out. There's something light. It was, it was crazy. There was one, one. I'm trying to think of the standout things that happened at the Doritos thing. Everybody who worked there was like a rock star, and they were so awesome, and I would love to work with them again. So just, you know, putting it out there, you know, Love Doritos, but I'm trying to think of, like, any standouts. Oh, they had Don. Don Toliver. Don Toliver performed. That was sick. And Cardi B made it, made an appearance. She just, she walked in with 30, maybe 40 people.
Nora
She had a posse.
Grace O'Malley
She had a squad. Talk about a pimp. It was so funny because you could
Nora
tell she came in because everybody's phone went in the air.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, my God. Everyone's phones went up. And they just stayed there. Stay there. But she, Somebody was going around saying that she got paid 20k to just go take a picture in front of the step and repeat. And then she literally just walked out. And it was kind of crazy because, like, her insecurity was, like, pushing everyone, like, pushing everyone to get the hell the away. But, you know, Cardi B kind of ran the super bowl and broke up with our boy.
Nora
So as soon, like, the day of the super bowl. Broke up.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, I mean, like, that. That's pretty crazy. Is that why we lost?
Nora
Awesome.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, that's, I mean, I mean, I don't. Be careful with me. She say be careful me.
Nora
She deflated the balls.
Grace O'Malley
No, we did. She deflated his balls. Hey, Nora, you badass. The was that. Which reminds me with you with that knee slapper you just had. After Doritos, we got invited to go see Chappelle.
Nora
How did that, how did that just correlate to that?
Grace O'Malley
Because you made, because you made a joke.
Nora
Oh, jokes. Okay.
Grace O'Malley
And it was a knee slapper. And he. That's Chappelle's thing. Just let me, just let me navigate how this, how my brain thought goes. All right. Come on, man. So we went and we did Doritos came back, freshened up, went right to Chappelle. Now shout out my boy Seife cipher sounds. He hooked it the up. He I, I, I thought I saw. We saw Chappelle the day before, just walking around the street. They Were like, filming something. And I reached out to him. I was like, are you doing shows here with Chappelle? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, yo, dude, that's pretty sick. And he was like, you want to go? And I was like, yeah, I would fucking love to go. Actually, me and Nora would eat that up. And not only did he get us tickets because they were sold out, he even put us on the list. And we had to go pick him up at Fancy Will Call. It's like this, like, private area where, like, only celebrities go and you get to, like, skip the line. You go in, like, they escort you in. We. Not only did we have tickets, we had. We had floor seats and backstage passes. Coolest thing of all time. The coolest thing of my whole life. I mean, that was literally so sick. At one point, seif on stage because he, like, he DJs. He does stand up and, like, he emcees the night. Chappelle doesn't just do a show, he puts on a show. And like, I've heard that from everyone. And I just. I couldn't believe how many people he brought up. I mean, like, he's Chappelle. Like, he can pull anybody he wants out of his ass, and they're right there the next day. You know what I mean? So Noor just pulled up all the people that were there. Run it.
Nora
DJ Trauma, Cipher, Sounds, Sway Calloway, Marshall, Brandon P. Lo Wale, Too Short, E40TI, Donnell Rawlings, Bill Burr, and then Chappelle.
Grace O'Malley
Dude, it was crazy. It was literally out of control. I mean, he brought out, like, a bunch of rappers from, like, the 90s that are from the Bay Area. That's. I love that song now. Bay Area. It was like, people. And again, this is the thing I said, you can't say to people directly. And I won't say it to anyone, but except for you guys is. My mom would love this. Like, seriously, it was all like, the people, like, she grew up listening to. And then on top of that, to have Danelle and. And Bill and then Chappelle. And before Chappelle even walked out, it was like. It was like, like dark and there was like a little bit of light. And then all of a sudden, on the. On the Jumbotron was the Netflix sound. It was a Netflix taping. We had no idea. Dude, I was. When I heard that. When I heard that, I was like, so fired up. I felt like I was like a part of something I've never been a part of before. It was really cool.
Nora
It was full body chills. And then it was the intro of a, Like, I've never seen a special taping ever.
Grace O'Malley
Me either.
Nora
So it was literally the, a special intro right before he walked on stage. And like, it was him walking through the Bay Area.
Grace O'Malley
I literally got full Bay Area.
Nora
Literally got full body chills.
Grace O'Malley
Dude. It was literally so sick. I literally, I'm like tapping Nora like a little kid. I'm like, dude, dude, this is awesome. He's coming out. He's coming out. It was so sick, dude. I, I mean, and it was absolutely hilarious. I mean, Chappelle is a legend. It, it was really just, just to sound like a big ass nerd right now. When I saw him do in real life, when, when he hit the microphone to his thigh like he does every time for his whole life, because he's, that's his signature move. When I saw that in real time, I was like, dude, we are witnessing greatness here. And I, I will say I, I made a tick to talk about this, and I didn't post it yet because I don't know how I feel, but I, There's a part of me that hates this so much, especially as a comic. I'm sitting on the floor seat, so I, I might be in the back of the taping, and within, like, the first 10 minutes, I'm thinking to myself, oh, my God, if I'm caught laughing at something that is a little too far of a joke, then I'm gonna be in trouble. Get, get that mindset out of your ass, Jay. Like, I, I, I don't know, like, why I want. I run around thinking, like, like, I'm so worried all the time. Literally. I tell jokes for a living. Nothing like Chappelle, but, like, why the would you be canceled for laughing at a legend? You know what I mean? Like, that's the silliest thought I've ever had in my life. But I caught myself, like, every time there was a couple where I, I would. Instead of, like, I was trying to hide my laugh by, like, drinking a little beer, I, I would be like, oh, just drink a little bit. But who thinks like that? I gotta stop. I gotta retrain my brain. Like, I was talking to Whitney recently. She, she went and she did the Daily show, and then she came right to my house after. And like, we watched the Daily show and I had all these questions for her and I told her, I go, yeah, I don't know. I always think, like, three steps ahead when I'm saying something, like, on camera or on stage, because I'm so worried about a backlash in conversation. I think I'm actually genuinely a lot funnier because I'm not holding back or thinking three steps ahead. Now, how the fuck did I turn seeing Chappelle into my own comedy? I don't like that pivot. I don't like that comparison. I don't like what I just did there at all. But I'm just telling you, this is like my mindset. This is where my head was at. And then I shook myself out of that and just absolutely enjoyed the show. I, I'm not going to say anything about it. They lock your phones up. It was, it was, it was hilarious. And it was actually, it was like, it almost felt like your dad on a good night, like your dad on a good night given actual good advice, like, I don't know, dads aren't always saying the right things. It's your mother who says the right things. I feel like for the most part, I mean, yeah, maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.

And then after the show, we had the backstage passes. Now everyone had a wristband. They put us into two different lines. Some people should have just been able to go back. There was a lot of famous people there. It was pretty crazy. Like one guy, like all of his buddies were on stage at one point going, you should be up here. And he's like, I just, I'm chilling now. We were there. I, I was a nervous wreck. Like, I didn't know. I just, I kind of go, when I'm in a room like that, I kind of go by the rule of speak when spoken to, which is not a rule I abide to in any other situation. But when it comes to that, it's, it kind of is like a speak when spoken to kind of thing. The only time we were spoken to was these guys came over and they go, do you trust vegans? And I said, I feel like you don't. So I'm going to go with no. And he said, wrong answer. I'm a vegan. I said, let's just go home, Nora. And yeah, I mean, we didn't really crush the. The. The green room hang because every, like, everyone, like my friend. My friend who invited us was in the other one, and there was no way for me to, like, text him because our phones were locked up until it was time to leave. So we just kind of. We just had a couple beers, I ate a couple cheese and crackers and settled the vegan debate, and we headed on out of there. The next day, we had flights. This is how I saw things, right? But going into the super bowl weekend, I'm like, we're gonna go in, we're gonna party it up, we're gonna do the. Do the job we came here to do, and then we're gonna get right out on Sunday, make it back to New York to watch the game with our buddies at a bar. I woke up that morning and I said, I got a funny feeling. I got. I got. I got a silly, funny feeling right now. I feel like I should delay this flight. I should. I feel like I should do a same day change. So I woke Nora up. I go, I think we're good. I think I'm gonna stay a little longer, get a little sleep in, watch the game on the plane. We slept in. We get. We gather our things, we pack up. We've got our. We've literally got our bags, and we're walking out the door. I have an Uber called to go to the airport. I get a DM from Chloe, our Super bowl friends. And Chloe hits me up and says, I remember you saying you wanted to go to the Super Bowl. You still want to do that? I go, cancel the Uber. Cancel the Uber. Pull up the laptops. We gotta change our flights. I didn't even know if she. I didn't know what she was going to say, but I was like, it's that tickle I had in both my brain and my tummy. And I was like, we. Something beautiful is about to happen. I really feel it in my bones. And immediately we changed our flights to the next day. Nora changed her to stay, but that's. We'll get there. And we just kind of. I just kind of, like, patiently waited for her responses. She goes, I got. I got two free tickets if you want to go. You and your sister. I was like, absolutely. I don't even know how to thank you. She goes, dude, you were so smart, going around telling people that you want to go to the game because it ended up really working out for you. I go, yeah, I guess I'm a loser mooch. But that was like, the coolest thing anyone's ever done. It's like Adam Devine and Chloe Bridges gave us our. Their tickets to the Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? I was, I was losing my mind. I was trying to play it cool, but if you see the text, I'm screaming, I'm like, dude, you won't believe that. Dude, I literally can't believe this. Me and my sister are running around the hotel room right now, freaking the out. She goes, yeah, dude, I'm glad they went to someone who really wants them. I was like, yeah, you best believe me. One of these bad boy. This is. But I felt like, I literally felt like we won the lottery.
Nora
We did. We technically did. I felt like a make a wish. Like that was. Make a wish.
Grace O'Malley
Truly make a wish. And I wish wish. We got our wish. And from, from the time she, she hit me up, it was two hours till kickoff. Yeah. And the game was 50 minute drive. Maybe let's just call it an hour. And we literally had, let's call it 15 minutes to get ready, 15 minutes to change our flights, get ready and get in an Uber and head to the goddamn Super Bowl. And that we did. We made it there just in time for the kickoff. We got, we had to get on little, little bicycle thing to get us there faster. I was like, how much is it? Actually, you know what? Doesn't matter.
Nora
Let's go.
Grace O'Malley
Because when you get to the, when we got there, the Ubers drop you off like a mile away, maybe a mile and a half. And so I hopped on one of those bad boys, me and Nora. And when we're, when we were on the little bicycle, what do they call it? Pedicab.
Nora
Pedicab.
Grace O'Malley
Pedicab. When we're on the back of the pedicab, I'm going, let's go, Pats. Let's go, Pats. The guy driving the pedicab thought I was saying, let's go fast. And so he was like, I'm going as fast as I can. He goes, I'm trying. Like really. I'm giving it, I'm giving it my. All right. I go, no, no, no, no, let's go, Pats. And he, he, he didn't get that. And, and, and if he ever saw this, I just want you to know. Let's go, Pats. Okay. And then so we got there, as we're walking in through those pearly gates, green day comes on. We hear that just from a faint far. And we got right in our seats, right for poo.
Nora
Right for poo.
Grace O'Malley
Right when we We. We got in the booth and we heard poo. Like, it was. It was perfect timing. It was really awesome. And we had a blast.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I mean, did we lose? Yeah. I mean, but was I watching all season? No. I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Nora
I wasn't also, like, hate to say it. Everyone also said it, though, that it was, like, one of the most boring football games.
Grace O'Malley
It was a mess. I. I heard show. I mean, it was just cool that. It was just cool that we got to the super bowl again so fast. It was literally the whole brand new team and a coach, and I love that coach more than anything in the world. That guy Mike, he rocks.
Nora
Mike Vrabel.
Grace O'Malley
Awesome.
Nora
Oh, my God. Him and his buddy Matt Light from the Patriots, they played that at the same time. Matt Light is literally one of the funniest guys. Awesome.
Grace O'Malley
I saw him on Edelman's pod.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
And he was talking about, oh, Randy Moss thought he was the coach.
Nora
Oh, really?
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, dude. They were. They were on the same team. And. And the whole time, it's really funny. I'm just gonna repeat. Repeat the whole clip. But he. He goes, yeah, Randy Moss. He gave me. He gave me a nickname. I was so stoked. I was like a rookie and Randy Moss gave me a nickname. And I'm tell. I'm going home telling all my boys, yeah, Moss loves me, man. He gave me a nickname. He calls me coach. And then I don't know what it was, but it was like a team meeting. And all the rookies had to go in front of everyone and like, kind of introduce themselves. And then after Randy Moss goes, you motherfucker. I thought you were the coach. You have a fucking gray hair, you dumb ass. That's awesome. So he thought he was just giving him a cool nickname.
Nora
That's so funny.
Grace O'Malley
He actually thought he was one of the coaches.
Nora
That's so awesome.
Grace O'Malley
It was really funny.
Nora
Randy Moss is from West Virginia.
Grace O'Malley
Hell yeah.
Nora
Hell yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I love it there. I'm sorry, Nora.
Nora
I'm going to go mute again.
Grace O'Malley
West by God.
Nora
West by God.
Grace O'Malley
Now what? What? Oh. So Super Bowl. Super bowl was sick. As soon as we got there and we got in our seats, we were like, time to get a Bud Light. Went to the Bud Light stand, all the Bud Lights were gone. I'm like, the game just started, dude. And it was like 30 bucks a bear. It was. I mean, that's the other thing about the Super Bowl. It's not. I. I wish there was more Die Hards. Like, we were. We were up there in the nosy nose. Like, we were bleeding.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
But that was. I was. I was pumped to be up. I was pumped to be there in general, but I was even more pumped to be up there because those are, like, the real fans, I thought. Well, a lot more. A lot more she Hawk fans than anything.
Nora
It was closer.
Grace O'Malley
It was a sea of hawks. It really was.
Nora
We were on the West Coast.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. But, like, I don't know. I. I thought more past fans would, like, take the fun trip to California. Like, I'm picturing, like, dad and his friends going, california. That's a. It's gonna be. That's, like, going on. Going on. That's gonna be beautiful.
Nora
But at the same time, it's like people from New England aren't. Aren't doing the whole super bowl thing. Like, it's not. It's not, like, logical.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, no, it's, like, impossible. Like, it's like, impossible. I know, but. So that's. That's what I was trying to say, that it was mostly Seahawk fans and it was mostly guys in college shirts. Like, it wasn't. I. I wish there was more Die Hard. They should do more giveaways or something. Like, the super bowl should really be for the fans. Yeah, it's like a who's who at that part. Like, stinks. You have your hand in the air. Because when I.
Nora
When I got there, I was in the lobby at the first hotel that we were at, and every single super fan was in the lobby dressed each. Each NFL team had one fan and, like, a plus one that they got to bring. Everyone was decked out head to toe. The most glitter I've ever seen, all on a man, on a woman. It was awesome.
Grace O'Malley
So, yeah, I guess, like, the NFL did like a. Like a. A true Die Hard fan, like, giveaway. They do it every year and they did it for every team. Now, here's my thing. 1. You didn't take any pictures.
Nora
I did. I sent one.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, it was shit.
Nora
Yeah.
Grace O'Malley
I'm like, she's telling me, dude, you won't believe these people are all dressed up. It's like a whole convention of all these diehard fans. No pictures. Also, why the fuck wouldn't you do. If you're going to pick, like, 100 people, right? Why wouldn't you do? 50 Pats fans and 50 Seahawks fans. At least that's like 50, 50 diehards.
Nora
Because it's NFL and it highlights every single team.
Grace O'Malley
Oh, yeah. So glad everyone's represented. It's a Super Bowl Let the fans go. They all knew each other.
Nora
It was awesome.
Grace O'Malley
They do it every year. Yeah, and that's sick. But you don't have any pictures. And, like, it was just this one. It was. It's like you talking about a dream. It's like I. I don't. I can't visualize it, so I can't care. You know what I mean? You're describing the way they're looking. I'm like, I want to know what they look like. I got this one picture. It looks like it was taken on a stone, but not even a calculator. It's like you picked up a stone, you're like, forever. It looks like. It looks like, like, tribal drawings. Yeah, that's the way this picture came out. Pissed me off. I wanted to see these guys. And then I go, are they still dead? No, they're gone. I'm like, all right, fine.
Nora
Well, was I supposed to do.
Grace O'Malley
Guys, guys, wait, wait. Hold. Hey, guys, hold for a photo. Hey, hold for G. Like, hey, how about you guys all get in there? Hey, guys, my sister's going to be
Nora
here in two hours.
Grace O'Malley
Let's. I don't know. I just wanted a better picture. I just wanted to see what you were talking about.
Nora
All right, well, look it up.
Grace O'Malley
I don't want to. Super Bowl. So we're at the super bowl now. We kind of. We. I could. I'm not going to lie. We were up so high, I couldn't see. I could. I couldn't. I couldn't see the ball. I couldn't see the ball. So I did. I did the thing that I always wanted to do, but my friends never want to do. It's like, at any stadium, there's always, like, the Bud Light corner where you can just stand and watch the game if you have can't see seats. And I was like, that's the perfect idea for today. So we kind of just like, stayed there and watched the game a little bit. All the fuck. I was. I was trying to find morale. I was trying to find, like, my Pats boys, my. My New England boys, my New England girls and guys days and thems. I couldn't find them. They were nowhere to be found. It was Seahawks, and it was. It was like, nerdy pricks. And they were all really pissing me off because we were, like, losing the whole game. And so I just. You know, we tried to keep a positive attitude. We were slugging down beers. We were having fun.
Nora
Yeah. Also, Seahawk fans are. We're rubbing it in the face.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, see? Well, but they're so. They're all just such fucking nerds. Like, they're all like, goofed up nerds about it. They're like, oh. I'm like, that's the eagle thing, you dip shits. Yeah. Like, shut up, you bird. Your mascot's a bird. Your bird brain. Oh, pissing me off, dude. I was like. I was getting Boston classically mad. Like, I was like, oh, my God. So. Oh, dude. So mad. Shout out. But I was. Yeah, I. I don't know. I was getting. I was getting mad anytime I talked to somebody. So I just chose not to do that anymore. Like, by the third quarter, I was like, yeah, I'm done talking to anybody. This is kind of. This isn't really working in my favor. One guy, like, did do, like, in your face. I was like, yo, dude, chill, man. But the halftime show, super sick. We. We had our buddies, Adam, Amanda and Norm. They were all there. Adam, Ray, his. His wife, and my. All our buddy Norm. And we. Norm told us to come down to their seats for the halftime show. And we, by the grace of God, got past the lady. You just have to act like you've been there. Yeah, you have to act like you've been there. We had a screenshot of one ticket, and that was the best we were gonna do. I was. I told Nora to act like her phone was dead.
Nora
Did we even have to show it?
Grace O'Malley
No, no, we just. We just went straight cuz she was dealing with somebody else. Thank God. But we like kind of. We squished into this. He's watched Bonito's halftime. Absolutely awesome. Incredible. Even, like, after the. Like, being there was one thing, but then even after the show and watching it back, like on the tv. Yeah. And like, seeing all the symbolism and everything, it was just. It was awesome. I mean, it was probably one of my favorites of all time. It's like Lady Gaga and then Benito
Nora
and then a real wedding, a real engagement. Yeah. The woman that owns the last Puerto Rican bar in our social club. Social club in Manhattan.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Nora
Or the United States.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. It was all like. I mean, I just. I loved every part of it. It was so cool the whole time. But the whole time where we're there, we're watching it, and we're like, what's the deal with the bushes? Yeah, what's up with the bush people? They got bush on Maine, bush on Main. And for why they're doing bushel, I mean, it's sick for them, it was so.
Nora
It basically gave everyone a front row seat. He was basically just giving his fans, like, awesome seats to his show.
Grace O'Malley
It was like really like, I mean, that was sick. And they got paid to be there, which is a cool part.
Nora
I didn't know they were supposed to be Sugar cane.
Grace O'Malley
Ricky Martin. Ricky Martin. Oh my God, that's awesome. It's got it going on. Lady Gaga, I mean, she's incredible too. And like, it's funny to know that they had that little secret because, like, remember, like, that there was like a meme from the, the Grammys of, of Lady Gaga popping up, popping up to Benito and he's like, jesus. But they like, they were whispering each other because they're like, we got something fun coming up. Pretty cool. That was that.

Grace O'Malley
Then I went and I did, I did the thing that, I absolutely hate what people do, but I had to, I had to get a flight out that night. And so I booked a flight for that night because I had to work on Monday morning. And at the end of the third quarter, I was like, I gotta go, I'm gonna miss this flight. So reluctantly, me and a bunch of loser fans, like, see, if I didn't have to, if I didn't have to get on a flight, I would have stayed to the very edge. I hate when people leave something early for anything. A concert, a game, cuz you're losing. I, I hate that. Just stick to the very end. But I had to go, I had to get on a flight. So I, I hopped, I, I, I went outside, hopped on another pet. I didn't tell you. Did I tell you this?
Nora
You got on a petty cab.
Grace O'Malley
I hopped on another petty cab with a, with a, a group of people. They were like multiple people. Yeah, it was like three other people in me. I was like, well, because I got on the pedicab and he's like, you're gonna have to pay for four people. And I was like, I'm sure I could find three. And so I'm just sitting on the back of the pedicab by myself going, anyone want to split this with me? And so I have done like three other people. And I was like, oh, you got like, who was your team? I think. I think I know because you guys seem so happy. Oh, we don't have it. We don't have a dog in this fight. Like, we're from la. I was like, they're like, why you a pass fan? I was like, can you see my jersey? Can you see my jersey? The Uber setup was such a show that even though I left the game early, Nora stayed to the very end. She ended up overlapping me and finding me. I was. I was sitting talking to this guy and his. His son at trying to charge my phone at the charging dock was never charging. And I was waiting for an Uber. I waited for an Uber for like
Nora
an hour and a half.
Grace O'Malley
I like, maybe two. Like, I don't know.
Nora
When I was leaving, I was tracking your location and I walked to where you were and I was like, her location hasn't changed either. Her phone died and she's not going to get on her flight or she's still there. And then when I get getting closer and closer, it said live. And I was like, oh, she's still here.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah.
Nora
So I showed up right to her.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, Nora. Nora caught up with me. And they were just keeping people there, like Saudi. And so you couldn't leave the area, the Uber area, unless you showed that the Uber was in the parking spot. And so that took forever, but then ended. I ended up making that flight. Flying colors, like, so easy. Got right in. For whatever reason. When I was going through tsa, there was a bunch of people that worked for Apple and they had, I don't know, maybe like 200, 300 iPhones that they were each individually checking. They didn't check them. They put them through TSA and they had spreadsheets up on the computers. Kneeling at tsa, like, going, one, two, counting them all. It was the weirdest thing. It was really. It was really weird.
Nora
That's so weird.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, it was really strange. And then I sat down, I had had a beer, had some fish and ships. What? Yeah. And I tried talking to this other, weirdly enough, another father son duo. And I was trying talking to them and the kid was glued to his phone. The dad was a nerd, Worked for like, State street or some. And I was like. Because I was like, oh, you guys pass fans. Were you just at the game? And they're like. The dad's like, yes, absolutely. It was a wonderful time. And he. And the dad's like, hey, son, look. That's that. That's that man that I told you about. He works for NBC. And I was like, all right, this guy's a go away nerd. He's like a clout nerd or whatever. I'm trying to talk to him. And I was like, whatever. And like, I, I, I gave it like, a couple more minutes. I was, like, talking to the dad, and I was like, you're not gonna make him go to school tomorrow though, right? And the kid was like, yeah, dad, I don't want to go to school. And I was like, yeah, come on, don't make him go to school. And then the other. And then the kids said something like, something so outrageous like, who's Gronk? I was like, that kid's going to school, by the way. Like, we were. We were done talking, and I heard him go, wait, who's Gronk? And I was like, he has actually has to go to school. I won't put up with this at all. I want to make sure you get him there, not Toddy.
Nora
Also, going. Going to the airport with a buzz on. It must be the best experience ever. Actually, it is the best experience ever, dude.
Grace O'Malley
I, like, I have. I don't drink at the airport anymore because usually when I'm there, I'm, like, there for work. Like, I really, I used to go pound for pound, and I, most of the time I am hungover, but. But I refuse to drink at the airport anymore because, like, I have, like, I have to go do a show. And being drunk at the airport is fogging electric. It is so awesome. Also, Nora took one for the team because since I had to leave the super bowl early, I couldn't go back and go get my, my bags. There wasn't enough time. That was the original plan. I was going to go get my bags an hour away in San Francisco and then go to the airport.
Nora
You would have had to leave, like, two and a half hours. There was no way.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah. And so Nora took one for the team. So she had all the bags. So I walked into the airport, shirt on my back, The. The halftime super bowl glow up thing that they gave you for Benito. And a wallet. Wait, like, I was a dude for the, for the, for tsa.
Nora
Did you just take off your necklace? Yes.
Grace O'Malley
You did take.
Nora
Take off the glowing light from the stadium and that's it.
Grace O'Malley
Literally the only thing I had was the necklace. I put the lanyard into the TSA bin and sent it on its way.
Nora
Were they laughing at all?
Grace O'Malley
No. I mean, no one was around. Like, it was just. It was pretty dead.
Nora
Dude. Taking off the lanyard. That they give you at the stadium. First of all, you didn't even go with that.
Grace O'Malley
No.
Nora
Taking that off and being it's still glowing. It was probably still glowing to like.
Grace O'Malley
Yeah, to the celebration. Leaving it on the plane and I was so bummed out. Dumbass. I know.
Nora
You were the only one with one.
Grace O'Malley
I was my hot. But yeah, I just. I just put. Took the lanyard off and put it right in. I didn't even have a charger. I had to buy a charger. When I got there, I ended up running into Caleb, you know, east coast summer dancing, that's my buddy. And I ended up running into them. They were at the airport for about six hours. He. He woke up too late. He got invited to go to the super bowl, but he checked his phone too late. No. And he missed out on that. He's from New England. I know, I know. Ballin, ballin'. Like I play for New England. Hey. And then. Yeah. And then I got on the flight, I got to New York. I didn't have a coat. It was like negative degrees. And I had to go do my, my, the thing for work. I did a couple things for work. I slept for about two days solid and then I went to Salt Lake City and Salt Lake City, thank you guys so much for selling that baby out. That was awesome. I had a blast. Lots went down at Salt Lake City. I'm going to try to make this short. We've been running a little long, but. Oh, there was an earthquake. It was an earthquake. I was. I was writing jokes about Mormons and then all of a sudden there's a earthquake and I was like, God has struck in me. Sure, you LDS wins again. Fucking assholes. At one point I go, one, one point I'm on stage, I go. What do you guys call yourselves? Fucking Left, right, center your didn't even laugh. Why is that not funny?
Nora
Because I was. No, because I was trying to focus on. Have you ever heard. Wait, I can't think of what it was where you.
Grace O'Malley
What are you saying? You. No,
Nora
stop. Sorry. The. You just said.
Grace O'Malley
Dude, that's what keep. You keep doing that.
Nora
Cuz you can't process the earthquake. Like stroke you stroke you dead. Excuse me, what stroke you struck. Strike me dead. The earthquake told you to stop writing the jokes?
Grace O'Malley
Yes. Where is the thing that it's ah, strike me dead. That's Molly Carney's joke. Dude, seriously, that's what. That took so long to get there. It's a hilarious joke. If you ever have the pleasure of seeing Molly Carney go see them. They're awesome.
Nora
But I couldn't figure out what that was.
Grace O'Malley
Jesus.
Nora
I meant to do that in my own head.
Grace O'Malley
You had to press a button just to say that? Oh. Oh. At one point, I. When I landed, I took myself out to dinner, and I was writing my journal, and I'll do that sometimes. I'll go out to eat by myself, bring my journal. Right. Right in my journal. And what I didn't realize was the. The whole time I was eating there, I had exploded. Pen on my. On my finger, and I must have touched the very tip of my lip at the very top. And, I mean, some could say Charlie Chaplin. Some may say something else, but I. It looked like a look. I. It looked like that was the look I was going for. And it looked like if I. If that was the look I was going for, then what I was writing in my journal must have been like, minecamp, too. I. I don't know what. Like, it's like, oh, look at this German. What the hell's going on over there? It wasn't. I didn't see it until I went to the bathroom. And that's what you get for, you know, trying to take yourself out for Valentine's Day. And also, it wasn't. It was a. It was dinner in a show. Because then I went, and I saw the moment. Now you guys, Charlie XCX in. In my personal opinion, can do absolutely nothing wrong. She rocks. I loved this movie. It was so stressful. It felt like. It felt like uncut gems. And I feel like a lot of people aren't gonna like it in the sense of, like, it was, like. People will probably think it's, like, unrealistic or, like, too. Too anxious or exaggerated. I think it was absolutely on par. I think it was exactly what. Why are you laughing?
Nora
Umpire.
Grace O'Malley
Jesus Christ.
Nora
It's on pad.
Grace O'Malley
And me. I'm gonna take you out. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna put a Glock to your dome. It's on pa Dude. Just mute yourself. Again. Jesus Christ. Don't you hate it when you record in the pod and your little sister saying some weird. Making fun of you? You make fun of me? Jesus Christ. Yeah. No, but I went. I saw the moment. I was. I was sitting by my. It was just me and this other couple, and I'm sitting in the back. I'm ripping vape. Oh. When I first got there, I go, you guys sell beer? And they're like, no, of course not. I'm like, why is that? And of course not. Like, something about Salt Lake City and Utah in general. I mean, being. Being. Never did I ever think I'd be in Utah two times in one week. That was pretty nuts. I don't know if I said that, but that what I recorded was also in Utah. And so I went from New York to Utah, to San Francisco to New York, back to Utah, back to New York, back to you, Bob. Now. I love the moment. It was awesome. I highly suggest go check it out. It really made me want to party. It made me want to party really bad. And I. Luckily I was. I was able to. I was able to have a couple friends this weekend. My girl Jory, who did my hair and makeup this weekend, who I had met previously on the previous week on Set, her and her cousin Caitlin, we. We rocked it out. We had a goddamn blast.
Nora
We.
Grace O'Malley
They came to my shows, and then we. We ripped a couple bars after. But that was the thing I was saying. The fucking. Fucking Utah and your fucking drinking laws, they've got this device that looks like you're about to get a pap smear that they put on top of the fucking alcohol bottle to pour out an ounce. I will slit your throat. I. The. The way the pause they're doing. I. I did. Even at dinner, the. The amount of alcohol that they gave me, the amount of wine they put in my wine glass was the same sip I took in second grade from my first communion. Like, off with that. I can't. Oh, dude, you'll. You will drive me. I wouldn't last a day in that. State. State. Whatever happened to church and state, huh? What?
Nora
That's funny.
Grace O'Malley
Thank you. But I was on a. I was on emotion, dude.
Nora
You didn't have to notice it.
Grace O'Malley
You just turned your mic on and went, huh. Dude, you're killing me, man. I'm finally a solo episode where I'm cognitive, and you just keep going. I appreciate the laugh, and it's huge for me, but God damn it, Nora. God damn it. When I get going, I got going and fuck Utah. But you guys were awesome. You.
Nora
I actually.
Grace O'Malley
I had a great time. Actually met a lot of really cool, nice people, but those cool, nice people were like, yeah, but we don't claim this place. Church and state. It's like the church married the state and had a fucking weird baby and it's called lds. Fuck it. Mormon. You're not allowed to say Mormon anymore. Yeah, believe whatever you want to believe.
Nora
I don't know.
Grace O'Malley
Just do your but. Do hit. That's my thing. Do your but Leave everyone else out of it. You guys. You guys can't. You can't help yourselves. You fucking banging our doors down saying gays are weird. I will kill you. I won't kill you. This is all hearsay. Oh, I spent my Valentine's Day because I had a show at night. I spent my Valentine's Day editing a fake scenario where I almost have a foursome. Let's put the pictures in here. Yeah. The minute I watched that back, I was like, oh, you're a crazy person. There's a reason you don't have a Valentine this year, babes. Or any year prior. 27 years. You fucking believe this shit? Also, I met Brian Reagan. He's a comic. He was doing the arena across the street, and then he came over and had a couple beers at the comedy club I was performing at. Wise Guys Shout Out. Wise guys. And he came over and he's talking to everyone, introducing himself, and I go, hi, how are you? And once he's done introducing himself at the table I was at, I go, little Stella action. I love to see it. He goes, what? I go, little Stella action. I love to see it. He goes, I literally can't hear you. I have a hearing aid. I was like, oh. I. It was actually something. I didn't even know why I said it, and I wish I didn't say it, but now I've repeated it twice, and I don't know if I want to repeat it a third time. I just said, you've got Stella going on, and I love that. And he was cracking up. He was like, all right, okay. Nice to meet you. And that was. That was about it for us in our conversation. Yeah. I don't know. It was. I had a blast. I'm trying to think of all the things that have happened, the things I've done, the. The love we shared. Yes. Sold out shows. That was nice. That was nice. Felt good. Needed that. Needed that. Trying to be optimistic about tickle sales. But when I post my tickets, Right. When I post my tickets on my story, Instagram is cutting my view in half, drastically. It's out of control. So if you listen to the pod, I'd like to let you know that I might be near you at a city near you. How do I word that? I'll be. I'll be. Come see me. Do a joke or two. I'm on tour right now.

We got pulled over on the way to a wedding in the summertime. Our mom tells us right now that we've got a ticket due. I'll go. How much? Too much. They suspended Nor's license, but now that the.

DisGRACEful with Grace O’Malley
Host: Grace O’Malley (with guest/HR-sister, Nora O’Malley)
Episode: My Dark Evil Weird Life Update
Release Date: February 23, 2026
In this unfiltered, high-energy solo episode, Grace O’Malley, joined occasionally and chaotically by her sister Nora, delivers a frenetic, full-spectrum life update, loaded with wild stories, wisecracks, emotional honesty, and comedy gold. Broadcasting from her New York apartment—with a stunning view of “Miss Girl” the Empire State Building—Grace unpacks her recent adventures: stand-up tours, wild nights out, surreal celebrity run-ins, the Super Bowl, comedy milestones, and a peek into the comedy grind and mental health.
With a signature blend of self-deprecation, Boston pride, pop culture riffs, and big-sister banter, Grace invites listeners into her whirlwind life, complete with moment-to-moment reactions, rare inside peeks, and plenty of classic sibling shenanigans.
[01:03 – 05:58]
Grace opens live from her apartment, lavishing praise on Nora for setting up the studio:
“I gotta give props to Nora… Even when I worked at Barstool… I could edit, come up with ideas. But when it came to setting up cameras, big dum dum.” — Grace, [02:27]
Newly decorated (barely) after two years, she tours her “favorite stand-up cities” mapped on her wall, including Massachusetts, New York, California, Chicago, Philly, and Hawaii.
Grace shares a favorite family photo (gift from her mom) and tells a story about awkwardly running into celebs (John Krasinski, Casey Affleck, Stanley Tucci, and Matt Damon) outside Chinese Tuxedo in NYC. Classic mom behavior ensues, embarrassing Grace by loudly name-dropping Barstool to Stanley Tucci.
“She’s telling Stanley Tucci, ‘Oh, Stanley, my mother loves you…’ He goes, ‘Oh, is that right?’… Then she’s coming on and on… He’s like, ‘Do you want a picture?’” — Grace, [05:59]
[07:14 – 13:38]
Grace and Nora recall attending a dark, raucous “Boiler Room X The Dare x Industry x HBO” event, describing warehouse vibes, open bar exploits, and the “no-words-in-the-music” crisis.
“This is the big thing everybody who comes to New York, they're like, where are the songs with the words? I would like some words, please… And Nora said it.” — Grace, [09:36]
Memorable moment as a girl passes out in front of them and The Dare as he’s about to go onstage:
“She didn’t just pass out. Her eyes were rolling in the back of her head. It was scary.” — Grace, [13:25]
Grace emphasizes the wildness of being sober at such an event, dubs herself a “Fred Again groupie,” and transitions to her next obsession.
[13:53 – 19:06]
Grace recounts her dogged efforts to get tickets to see Fred Again, her favorite musician—resorting to manager connections when all else fails.
“If you have a connection and you're not making those dots connect, then you're a dumb ass bitch.” — Grace, [14:41]
She finally scores tickets, goes on an epic night with friends, leaves a heartwarming (and accidental) voicemail:
“Dude, I just had so much fun tonight. And my other two friends like, dude, I love you guys. It was actually like the most adorable voicemail of all time.” — Grace, [19:09]
Next day is rough: “I got in at like 7:30 in the morning and I had a flight at 3pm…did not pack for a flight… I think I brought two pairs of pants. Thank god the thing I did had a stylist.” — Grace, [19:39]
Relates comic tumult of being sleep-deprived, unprepared for a work gig, and meltdown in a changing room:
“I'm bitching to my own self in my head and… started crying. Instead of bitching, I just started crying. I'm in between two racks changing.” — Grace, [22:36]
[26:01 – 30:46]
Grace is invited to do a Doritos gig at Super Bowl weekend; laments that Doritos skipped their big ad to focus on social media, and jests about AI dominating commercials.
“Well, as it turns out, all those Super Bowl ads sucked. … It was AI, gambling, and the world's gonna end, so.” — Grace, [26:34]
Reunites with friend Justin; anecdotes about ordering Fashion Nova (fashion confession: "Fast fashion, fat fashion!"), hotel package fees, and navigating the industry-heavy San Francisco scene.
[30:46 – 41:33]
Grace & Nora attend a series of parties—sometimes regretting which ones they chose (“We shouldn’t have been there… It was an athlete party!”).
“If we were, like, 12, 13 year old boys… we would have been losing our minds because it was all current and ex football players. …We were saying at the time, we feel so bad right now.” — Nora & Grace, [35:02]
A classic “wrong party” tale: “I’m not gonna go by a linebacker, a wide receiver, and a quarterback to go get a piece of ham.” — Grace, [35:22]
At Shaq’s Fun House, Grace rants about red carpet pressures and her inability to pose seriously:
“I am goofball central… It’s not even funny because, like, I'm going like [makes face]. And they're like, okay, all right. Now… And then I do it because I can't take anything serious.” — Grace, [37:15]
[41:51 – 48:00]
Thanks to DJ/comedian friend Cypher Sounds, Grace and Nora snag floor seats and backstage passes to a surprise Dave Chappelle Netflix taping filled with legends (Bill Burr, Sway Calloway, E-40, Too Short, Wale, etc).
“It was literally the coolest thing of my whole life… at one point on the Jumbotron was the Netflix sound… I literally got full body chills. …We are witnessing greatness here.” — Grace, [44:46]
Grace openly struggles with “comic guilt” about laughing at “edgy” Chappelle jokes in the taping:
“If I'm caught laughing at something that's a little too far, then I'm gonna be in trouble. Get that mindset out of your ass… I run around thinking, like, I'm so worried all the time. I tell jokes for a living. …Why would you be canceled for laughing at a legend?” — Grace, [45:02]
They recount awkward greenroom hangs (“Do you trust vegans? Wrong answer, I’m a vegan”) and an anti-climactic interaction with celebs.
[48:32 – 60:18]
Grace gets a fateful DM from Chloe Bridges offering last-minute Super Bowl tickets for her and Nora:
“It’s like Adam Devine and Chloe Bridges gave us their tickets to the Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? I was losing my mind.” — Grace, [52:08]
Race to the game involves a classic pedicab misunderstanding:
"When we're on the back of the pedicab, I'm going, let's go, Pats. ...The guy driving thought I was saying, let's go fast. ...He goes, I'm going as fast as I can." — Grace, [53:06]
Makes kickoff just in time; banters about the crowd being mostly Seahawks fans, the exorbitant price of Bud Light, and the lack of diehard fan presence due to NFL’s ticketing/giveaways.
Discusses the quirky NFL “superfan” lobby at the hotel pregame and wishes for more “true fan” representation in stadiums:
“Why wouldn’t you do 50 Pats fans and 50 Seahawks fans?...The Super Bowl should really be for the fans.” — Grace, [57:53]
Struggles to see the game from “nosebleed” seats:
“We were up so high, I couldn’t see the ball.” — Grace, [59:13]
[61:41 – 62:54]
Sneak down to better seats for the halftime show featuring Benito, discuss wild visuals, “bush people,” and inclusion of the owner of the last Puerto Rican social club.
“We had our buddies… Norm told us to come down to their seats for the halftime show. …Even after, watching it back on the tv and seeing all the symbolism, it was just awesome.” — Grace, [61:41]
Favorite halftime shows ranked: Lady Gaga, Benito.
[64:01 – 69:56]
Grace confesses she did the “thing she hates”—leaving early to catch a flight, but is forced due to work. The postgame Uber situation is a disaster; reunites with Nora at the pickup area.
“If I didn’t have to get on a flight, I would have stayed to the very edge. I hate when people leave anything early—a concert, a game—cuz you’re losing. I hate that. But had to go.” — Grace, [64:01]
Airport misadventures: all she has is the glowing halftime lanyard and “shirt on my back”—no bags (thanks to Nora).
On flying buzzed:
“Going to the airport with a buzz on. It must be the best experience ever. Actually it is the best experience ever.” — Nora & Grace, [68:09]
[69:56 – 77:23]
Grace recounts her sold-out Salt Lake City show—amidst a literal earthquake during Mormon jokes:
“I was writing jokes about Mormons and then, all of a sudden, there’s an earthquake. I was like, God has strucken me. LDS wins again.” — Grace, [70:19]
Unfiltered rants on Utah liquor laws (“pouring spouts like a pap smear!”), and observations on the merger of church and state, Mormon politics, and LGBTQ+ rights.
“It’s like the church married the state and had a fucking weird baby and it's called LDS.” — Grace, [77:00]
She details her “Valentine’s” editing a fake foursome scenario, meeting comic Brian Regan (“Little Stella action, I love to see it!”), and ponders why she’s still single.
Promotes her stand-up tour (Edmonton, Eugene, Baltimore, Vegas, Nashville, Huntsville, Oklahoma City, Louisville, Tulsa) and brags about new merch (“finally have merch I’m proud of, after a year!”).
“Mama’s got a new groove. I was a little depressed… But I’m back, baby. And I hope you are too.” — Grace, [81:02]
On Comedy Life:
“I tell jokes for a living. …Why would you be canceled for laughing at a legend? …Nothing like Chappelle, but why the fuck would you be canceled for laughing at a legend?” [45:02]
On Family:
“[Mom] gave birth to four girls. Beautiful. And there was a marriage in there somewhere.” [04:25]
On Boston Pride:
“I’m back to the Pats. ...Never forget where you’re from. It’s like when people try to lose their accent. I don’t like that.” [33:54]
