Coming at you live from a shady Manhattan studio, it's Disgraceful, featuring your gracious ginger host.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hey, watch yourself. Only I can say that.

[Liza Trager]

Okay, boss, whatever you say. You pay my bills. Give it up for Grace o'. Malley.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hi, guys. Welcome back to Disgraceful, the podcast, the late night show. We're not really sure what it is still at this point. I am very excited for this next guest. She's an actress, a podcast host, a comedian, and her new special is on Netflix called Night Owl. Give it up for Liza Trager, everybody.

[Liza Trager]

And a sad turn of events. It is Lisa. But it's okay. It's spelled like Liza, so I had it.

[Mateo Lane]

I had it.

[Liza Trager]

I know. It's so hard.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's really hard. Here's my thing.

[Liza Trager]

It's spelled wrong.

[Grace O'Malley]

I really want to tell you everything that just went through my head.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

The whole time I was like, don't it up, don't it up. Don't it up. Looked at the way it's spelled. Said it.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Do you know, I actually phoned a friend just to double check how it said yeah. And. And she told me. And I said, well, then Andy Cohen was wrong.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, no. Andy Cohen had to apologize to me. He said it twice wrong. And then he was like, fudge. I just said it wrong. But I just sat there. I sat there like a chump. I let Andy Cohen disrespect me.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, he kind of. Kind of does, doesn't it?

[Liza Trager]

And I looked at the teleprompter and it was phonetically spelled.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, my God.

[Liza Trager]

But I've had people bring.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's what I need to do at.

[Liza Trager]

The comedy clubs, being like, oh, my God. We've worked together for years. One of my favorites. And they'll say it wrong. It's just like kind of mentally it's just like hard for people.

[Grace O'Malley]

Thank you for putting me in my place. I really.

[Liza Trager]

You know what I do I up Brandon and Brendan's a lot.

[Grace O'Malley]

A lot.

[Liza Trager]

Cuz my agent is Brandon. I it up still.

[Grace O'Malley]

I have a hard time with Tara and. Tara.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's just a preference.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

For people. I knew a Tara. No, I knew a Tara and now I have a new friend.

[Liza Trager]

Tara doesn't seem real.

[Grace O'Malley]

Tara.

[Liza Trager]

Tara is a real name. Tara is weird.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. Yeah. Unless like she never wanted to be called her called that. But we just like with the Boston accent. Just.

[Liza Trager]

Well, you, Tara, the accent you have is like perfect.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's good. It comes in, it comes out. Sometimes it's New York. I don't know where that comes from.

[Liza Trager]

People always think I'm New York. I'm like, no, it's because it's ju. It's juicy. Really want to say I don't know if.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, you wouldn't know this of me, but I didn't meet a Jewish person until I moved to New York.

[Liza Trager]

I mean but there are some in the Boston suburbs, I'm sure. But you. But do you think you didn't know or they just. You would you go to Catholic school?

[Grace O'Malley]

No, I just went to public school and just like. Just no Jews.

[Liza Trager]

Because when I went to school in Iowa for a little bit, I was definitely a lot of people's first Jew.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But Boston Colleges, well, they were all like farm. I was on an agriculture floor my freshman year.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. Was that your major or no. Because that you don't really strike.

[Liza Trager]

I was like advertising. I don't know why I was put on the agriculture floor. I didn't relate to anyone. People had like ribbons for their pride from their like prized pigs that they've eaten. Because you have to eat them after the ceremonies.

[Grace O'Malley]

No way.

[Liza Trager]

Because you bring them to these competitions, but they can get diseases from the other ones. So you have to kill them after they win for you.

[Grace O'Malley]

And that's something you would only know if you were on the agricultural floor of Iowa College.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Liza Trager]

But they just didn't care. But they were like pretty like closed off people. Like, we're talking about the guy from Sublime dying. I remember one girl was like, well, he's a idiot. And I'm like, I don't know. Addiction's like more nuanced than what you're bringing. But I guess we were all 18, like, whatever.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. I mean like those gals Especially, like, if you just never leave your state, you're never gonna learn anything else.

[Liza Trager]

You know, it's like the farms. You don't even have a neighbor. Oh, God. You know, it's like they're working.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, that's just. That's not a life for me particularly.

[Liza Trager]

No. You know what else I learned at Iowa State? Horticulture. I didn't know what that was until I was state.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, hoarding.

[Liza Trager]

No, it's the study of, like, grass. It's people who do, like, baseball fields.

[Mateo Lane]

Oh.

[Liza Trager]

Horticulture is the study of, like, grass and plants. Dirt, soil, shit like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

My friend's boyfriend, he was a turf management. And I don't know if it was actually called that or he just dumbed it down for me. And it was actually called that, now that I think of it. I don't know. I do.

[Liza Trager]

I wonder if he majored in it. Yeah, I wonder.

[Grace O'Malley]

I think he was. Yeah. We'd go to the. There was an agricultural frat where I went to college.

[Liza Trager]

Which was where?

[Grace O'Malley]

UMass Amherst.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Why have I heard of that? What's happened in Amherst?

[Grace O'Malley]

Big party school. Bill Cosby used to donate to the school because he's alumni and he used to donate to the school and he. Every Halloween, we got lobster from Bill. All thanks to Mr. Cosby. But, you know, I can't no longer donate. I don't know. I'm not sure, but I.

[Liza Trager]

You would, like, get what, an uppity donation?

[Grace O'Malley]

I know, I really. But my dad's favorite fact is that lobster used to be prisoners food.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

That is a good fact. Kind of like, you know, seahorses, the men give birth.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Fun fact.

[Grace O'Malley]

You have any more of those, that's.

[Liza Trager]

Like a fun one.

[Liza Trager]

I did have a beautiful Uber ride on Monday.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, lovely.

[Liza Trager]

It's like a gorgeous day. Memorial Day. I was going to my best friend's house. The city looked gorgeous. I started talking about gorgeous. He loves baseball. And then it was going good. He goes, ah, yeah, this guy is season tickets, but sells him. Takes me to the worst seats. But, you know, he's Jewish.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, God, here we go.

[Liza Trager]

I just said, yeah, you know, generosity is important. I was like, I can't do a culture war right now. Yeah, sometimes you just gotta sit and move it along.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm so sorry.

[Liza Trager]

I didn't really care because I'm not.

[Grace O'Malley]

Gonna be of a car where someone's like, yeah, those mix. Like, they never really happen. So that's. How often does that happen? What's wrong with people?

[Liza Trager]

People like to say, crazy that I. That's the only one I have in memory at the moment. But I just. We just kept talking about baseball.

[Grace O'Malley]

Just keep it. Keep it at baseball. That's the most, like, American thing of all time. Yeah, we just. We kept it to baseball. I realized we could. Two different people can like the same thing and disagree, you know, because then.

[Liza Trager]

It'S me proving, like, well, I'm a Jew, but I. I'm. I'm generous, but I don't know, like, who cares?

[Grace O'Malley]

And then you, like, went out of your way to tip extra when you got out of the car.

[Liza Trager]

No, but I did tip extra Sunday because the man pulled over and let me pee.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, nice.

[Liza Trager]

It was a long trip to Beyonce and we were drinking, and I had to.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's only acceptable for a sporting game.

[Liza Trager]

And a concert because then I have to pee like this while in line trying to get in. And then in line for that, there was just no Way. There's no way, you know, So I was already looking. I found a construction thing with a bush. Like, it was like a perfect pee spot. Like, I had my eye out for him, but I did tip him extra. Etc.

[Grace O'Malley]

Were you riding solo or what? Pals?

[Liza Trager]

I had a best friend, but she knows about my. Well, she tried to gaslight me at first of like, talking about other themes. You don't have to pee. It's your anxiety. And I said, you're not gonna gaslight me out of this one.

[Grace O'Malley]

No shot. No way in hell I'm pulling over.

[Liza Trager]

And she said she took photos of my hair popping up from behind the.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's just not fair that we don't have the opportunity to piss.

[Liza Trager]

No, I just.

[Grace O'Malley]

I don't think so at all. I don't know if you know this, but this is a religious podcast.

[Liza Trager]

I did it.

[Grace O'Malley]

And. Yeah, so we're just gonna do a quick prayer, if you don't mind.

[Liza Trager]

You know, I went to an evangelical Christian college, eventually graduated from one.

[Grace O'Malley]

Didn't know that.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

North didn't have it on the sheet here.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, they do not, like, claim me as an alumni. They didn't claim my friend because she just lived with a boyfriend. I mean, they're like wild Christians.

[Mateo Lane]

Oh, really?

[Grace O'Malley]

Truly.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, yeah. Evangelicals.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, wow. I don't know anything about them.

[Liza Trager]

There's the worst.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I went in open minded, left, hate, hateful.

[Grace O'Malley]

What made you go there?

[Mateo Lane]

A person.

[Liza Trager]

So I got arrested a few times.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. Straight up.

[Liza Trager]

And I had to leave. I was. Columbia College didn't work out. And then it was close to my parents. Columbia College, not university.

[Grace O'Malley]

What a trick. Yeah, what a trick.

[Liza Trager]

It's an artsy, overpriced community college in Chicago. So it's people that want to do radio music. I think the lead with that.

[Grace O'Malley]

You can't just say, you know, Columbia.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, yeah, I know. In the city. I assumed you knew. I wouldn't have. If I got kicked out of Iowa, you know, I wouldn't get into Columbia.

[Grace O'Malley]

Some people, they, they. They start as scientists and end up comedians.

[Liza Trager]

No, you're right. Yeah. People are human rights lawyers. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. I'm like, what happened?

[Liza Trager]

They get tired and they have enough in savings.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, they have. They have two. Two very functional parents with a big bank account.

[Liza Trager]

They have a lot of savings if you just worked forever in business or whatnot. But then I decided I was going to be a gym teacher, and that's where my gym teachers went. And so I just like. And it was 20 parents, house by car.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, it. So you. You hit up your favorite gym teacher?

[Liza Trager]

I just went to school.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, you remembered. They really made that much of an impact.

[Liza Trager]

Mr. Tate.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay, Mr. Tate. Yeah, we had one, but he did.

[Liza Trager]

He. Pedophile.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, of course. Yeah. That's just kind of how that goes.

[Liza Trager]

We had a janitor pedophile, and we had an athletic director with a few DUIs, but.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, but that is exactly how it's supposed to be. But sorry, not the pedophile. The. The. The DUIs. The athletic director is always going to be ripping in a few. Dewey.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God.

[Grace O'Malley]

His wife has to. Well, his ex wife has to drop him off.

[Liza Trager]

Wait, that's so up. About which in your. Your gym teacher in high school.

[Grace O'Malley]

Middle school.

[Liza Trager]

Middle school.

[Grace O'Malley]

Middle school. It was always but a rumor.

[Liza Trager]

But he would touch your shoulder or something.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, I think the rumor was for. For felis. Yeah. Which, you know, always keeps it spicy. But that's. That's common from where I grew up.

[Liza Trager]

Oh. Cause of the Catholics.

[Grace O'Malley]

Because of the. Yeah, the priests.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

So anywho, did your parents celebrate the Pope or they don't care?

[Grace O'Malley]

I think my mom was stoked. I really have no idea.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. I. I forgot to check in about how pumped they were about the Pope. You guys pump for the Pope?

[Liza Trager]

I like the memes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Liza Trager]

When things happen, I just enjoy.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, you shouldn't be pumped for the Pope, even though you know you're Jewish.

[Liza Trager]

But he's from the burbs.

[Grace O'Malley]

He's from.

[Liza Trager]

He's a liar. No, no, I like that he's a White Sox fan.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

No, I love that he's a White Sox fan. I hate that he'. Gay. Hates gay marriage, but.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, he does.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, that's classic for those guys.

[Liza Trager]

But the memes, anytime anything happens, I'm like, get me my phone.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

People are so creative. They're so funny and that. So I don't. Yeah. Tragedies or fun like the phone. The memes are great.

[Grace O'Malley]

The memes are great. The memes rip. Did you. Did you get any memes from your. Your Netflix special? No.

[Liza Trager]

I wish people made some memes. There's one camera.

[Grace O'Malley]

Say me. Me, right now.

[Liza Trager]

Me. The only. There's one meme of me from Survival of the Thickest, where I play like a cultural appropriator, but no meme.

[Grace O'Malley]

You're method acting.

[Liza Trager]

The thing with the. The thing with the special typecast is it's so hard because there's delusion. Because it's so like, the Netflix Special is an accomplishment, but in my head, I'm like, it's gonna come out. My life's gonna change overnight. I'm gonna be on a red carpet.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And it just doesn't happen.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And that. I was like, I'll be memed. Brought. People are gonna clip all my jokes. And it's like, true. No.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, that's the thing about comedy. Somebody recently gave me the advice of, you just have to enjoy what you're doing right now. And. And with that, I was like, yeah, because it's not linear.

[Liza Trager]

No.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, ever. And you never know when you've done it.

[Liza Trager]

No. And sometimes people pop and then run away. Well, I always see what I. And my big advice. I tell people, like, when they tapes or anything, I go, it's a reward, not a test.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's good.

[Liza Trager]

That's my big thing. Because people get so stressed. I'm like, no, you got this, because you have earned it. It's your prize.

[Grace O'Malley]

I see it as a test. Yeah, that's good.

[Liza Trager]

The test is getting to it.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

You know.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, sure.

[Liza Trager]

Unless you're a Nepo, and then you don't deserve it. And then it is a test, of course.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes. 1,000%. Other than name an EPO.

[Liza Trager]

I like some. Yeah, I was gonna name one, but I was into it. But I guess the new Nepo on the block is Kate Winslet's daughter. She's gonna be in the new Wes Anderson movie.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

Because my friend was like, wow, he's giving a young unknown a shot. And then it was Kate Winslet's daughter.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But we'll see if she's good.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. No, I mean. Okay, here's.

[Liza Trager]

I'll tell you my favorite. I watched the Last Showgirl, and it's Gia Coppola, the youngest of the new Coppolas, directed and wrote.

[Grace O'Malley]

I love the Coppolas.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, this mom was incredible. Yeah, the Last Showgirl was awesome.

[Grace O'Malley]

I gotta.

[Liza Trager]

I gotta watch Pam Anderson. It really was beautiful. And I was like, I bet she asked for a family for advice. This movie looks amazing.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. I. Here's my thing about Nepo babies. If your parent has a talent, and you also somehow have that talent, you just. You were born gifted with that talent. Just. Just like your pops or your ma. Yeah, I. I don't know. I feel like.

[Liza Trager]

But I've also worked with a Nepo who had that attitude, but was terrible. Oh, terrible. Not memorized lines. Unprofessional.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that sucks.

[Liza Trager]

Ran late. Like, yell. Like. I was like, is this what your mother was doing on set? I don't think so. Not. Not. She's won an Oscar.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, who was it?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Well, hopefully this indie movie will come out. You could see. Everyone could start Googling.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's good.

[Liza Trager]

It was crazy because it is like your mom's a legend and you're acting like a menace.

[Mateo Lane]

Oh, God.

[Grace O'Malley]

And that's brutal. The additive I have to add there is that you have to know you're an EPO baby and treat people the right way and even go over the top because you didn't have to work.

[Liza Trager]

As hard or just at least admit it.

[Grace O'Malley]

Admit it.

[Liza Trager]

That's the hard thing. When they go. We actually had to work. I actually did audition, and I changed my last name so no one knew I was related to Denzel. And it's like, I'm sure they were at your sixth birthday party.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

The head of whatever studio. Like, what are you talking about?

[Grace O'Malley]

They don't know anything else, so they just.

[Liza Trager]

No. Because they go to the rich private schools.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And then they're friends with the others, and so they don't even get. Yeah, they don't get it.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hollywood Reporter had a table talk with a few comedians, and Jamie Foxx was saying, he's like, yeah, I got so rich, I couldn't even do comedy anymore. Like, I just lived in this bubble behind my gated fence, and thank God I have a. I had a stroke. That's gold. That's so good.

[Liza Trager]

I'm glad he's aware enough. Yeah. It's, like, really important to be connected to humanity.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

To be able to relate. And sometimes, like, I did a show at, like, a rich, private club, and it's like, they don't get. Or if you've ever watched celebrities play Family Feud. Celebrity family. They don't know what people say. They don't know what a hundred regular people will say. They're like. So they don't actually really funny.

[Grace O'Malley]

They. They're just yelling out things they would say, like, I don't know. Or it's dated from, like, the 80s the last time they were, like, a person. Yes. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

They, like, don't get it. And their family is weird, but. Yeah. No, it's all about enjoying the journey. It's, like, corny, but going back to that. It's all about fun and, like, I don't know, getting recognized on the subway, I guess.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hell, yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, don't look at me.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, tell me you know me at. When you're getting off now I feel like, do I have to talk to you? Do you. Do we ignore each other now? Are you looking at me?

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. And then I get a little schizophrenic. You ever get schizophrenic about it?

[Liza Trager]

No. What does that mean? Well, how it works.

[Grace O'Malley]

They're not saying anything, but they're just. They're dead set looking at you and then there's a whisper.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

You ever get that?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, but I love. It's like, I love it. I go, ugh, they know me.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, no, it is very sweet, but my biggest fear is being schizophrenic. I also was made fun of as a kid a lot with there's whispering and giggling and I'm like, hey, guys. And you're like, what? What the fuck?

[Liza Trager]

How often is it about you?

[Grace O'Malley]

Never.

[Liza Trager]

Okay. Cause you know the Taylor lyric, not everything is about. But what if it is?

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, but what if it is? What if it is?

[Liza Trager]

What if everything is about me?

[Grace O'Malley]

The number one wedding transition song is.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, yeah, you're right. I did it when I went to eras. Oh, my God. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Good. So you're. So. You're a swiftie.

[Liza Trager]

I am. I'm a new swifty. Actually. I didn't really, like, grasp me until the Eras was in LA as Taylor and Travis and they're. I love romance and everything just happened at once. Because I've been to. I went to 1989. Like, I like pop music, so I was like, casual, but my brain broke during Eras.

[Grace O'Malley]

In a good way.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, I love it. I mean, I still go to like two or three Taylor Swift soul cycles a week.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, sick. And I. I saw in the special you thought that they posted on April Fools that they weren't doing that anymore and you lost your privileges to comment. Yeah, yeah. Is that true?

[Liza Trager]

It is true.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's.

[Liza Trager]

I couldn't go back to comment because I was gonna go back and be like, lol. I didn't realize. And it was like, I could not.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, God. What did you say?

[Liza Trager]

I was just like, like, you guys, it gets people going. So like, that's really like. I don't know. Because people were celebrating and I was like, no, you guys, like, oh, got me into it. But also I was just annoyed by someone being like, God, the good times are taken over. Because I. It's so stupid. It's like, about traveling to different studios.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, go for it.

[Liza Trager]

Well, she was complaining that the studio right next to her doesn't have what she wants, but I'm like, yeah, I would go out of my way for something I want. Like, I don't know, the. The entitlement to think that the. Like, that this one studio has to be on your taste level because you're near. It is weird.

[Grace O'Malley]

That is weird.

[Liza Trager]

So I was just like. Like, go to. Instead of 86, go to 66 or whatever.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, that's like making a friend. Like, oh, I don't really get along with this person, but it's close. She. She's my neighbor, so I guess. I guess she's my best friend. Yeah, it's like, crazy.

[Liza Trager]

But I'm just lucky because I live next to a fun one that I could just walk to. And I like everyone. All the club themes and people.

[Grace O'Malley]

That rocks. There's gonna be a documentary about Soul Cycle.

[Liza Trager]

Well, no, there's two episodes of the PODC already.

[Mateo Lane]

Oh, really?

[Liza Trager]

Seven. Yeah. I can't wait to listen.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, is it. So is it Juicy Scandal? What's going on?

[Liza Trager]

I'm sure.

[Mateo Lane]

Why?

[Grace O'Malley]

What happens there?

[Liza Trager]

I don't know anything about ultimate growth. And then it's like you're training these people. They're not getting paid during the training. I mean, I don't know. Maybe they're all each other. Maybe there's something.

[Grace O'Malley]

I think. I feel like I heard that before that they were all each other.

[Liza Trager]

Hopefully it's not like the American what's Abrambi documentary where nothing new happened.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, yeah. He's a gay hater and he's gay himself or something.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, it was just like the photographer on these teen sexy shoots. What liked teens. And it's like, well, ugly people in the back. And I was like, we knew that.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. I wasn't taking pictures with ugly models when I came to Times Square. Kidding me. That was my big trip.

[Liza Trager]

They purposely didn't want to make big cl. I was like, yeah, no, I knew. I know.

[Grace O'Malley]

I was very aware of that.

[Liza Trager]

Give me something good. I want the jinx. Give me something. So we'll see if the Soul Cycle has juice or not. Some of these docs try, but there's just no, nothing in there.

[Grace O'Malley]

I know. What's. What's, like, your favorite doc.

[Liza Trager]

I would say the most horrific would be the Keepers.

[Grace O'Malley]

What's that about?

[Liza Trager]

It's about a nun was found murdered, and it was basically because she knew all the, like, priests were molesting all these girls at the school. It's seven episodes. It's like, horrific. And that's your favorite? Yeah. I like the haunted girl in the box. Haunts me, but in fun ways. I like the ones about Vogue I like the first Monday in May and the September issue, I guess.

[Grace O'Malley]

Pardon?

[Liza Trager]

They have, like, one doc about the September issue, and it's, like, the most popular Vogue, and it was about making it and all the photo shoots and, like, all the work it goes into making that one issue. And then they have the first Monday in May, and it's about getting ready for the Met.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, okay. So what do you think of Anna Wintour?

[Liza Trager]

Honestly? I love success. I love hard work. I love perfection. I like, I like it. I don't think she has to throw her coats at an assistant. You know, like, there's a way to maybe be a boss without throwing things. But I'm, like, into it.

[Grace O'Malley]

I think I've said publicly, either on here or someone else's podcast, I think she's a cunt.

[Liza Trager]

Well, yeah. Yeah, I think she's.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I, I'll never go to the Met gala because I said she's a cunt.

[Liza Trager]

Oh. See, I go to the exhibit almost every year.

[Grace O'Malley]

I've never been.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Even.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God.

[Grace O'Malley]

I've been here for five years. I'm like, I gotta go.

[Liza Trager]

It's. It's really huge.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

So you don't even have to feel pressured to, like, see it all. So, like, figure out what you're into. But that exhibit's a great way in because it's, like, accessible and it's fashion and it's fun.

[Grace O'Malley]

That is fun.

[Liza Trager]

But. And it is close to the Rothkos and some fun stuff. The what?

[Grace O'Malley]

Huh?

[Liza Trager]

There's just some paintings. He's.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's.

[Liza Trager]

The Costume Institute is near, but it's a fun day. Do you like mushrooms and like, fun?

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Liza Trager]

Weed, edibles.

[Grace O'Malley]

I know. I always go with a friend. I know. I. The closest thing I went to, like, a museum since I've lived here is I went to, like, a, like, affordable art fair.

[Liza Trager]

The Brooklyn Museum's awesome. And like, Thursday nights, they do a free thing at night, romantic style kind of date.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's fun. I'll take myself there and just, and just watch everyone else. It's a it out at the museum.

[Liza Trager]

It's a moment. I mean, I'm like an art museum girl. I do it on the road. What have you been doing on the road? You're on the road.

[Grace O'Malley]

I, I, unfortunately, I, I, I like myself a good dive bar. I find the best dive bar and I, I park it there for the whole weekend.

[Liza Trager]

And then, and then everyone already knows you by the second day. They're excited you're there.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, this is. I feel like I'm at home for the. For the weekend.

[Liza Trager]

Did you have fun in Chicago? Have you been to Chicago already?

[Grace O'Malley]

Fucking love Chicago.

[Liza Trager]

Which side bars did you go to?

[Grace O'Malley]

I. We went to. This is going to sound narcissistic. We went to Gracie. Okay. And we, like, it was like a lesbian ran bar. And I was with Molly Carney and Maggie.

[Liza Trager]

Be friends, wouldn't you?

[Grace O'Malley]

We had a blast.

[Liza Trager]

It was so much fun.

[Grace O'Malley]

By the end of it, they're like, I can't believe you guys have to leave. We're like, we know. It's too bad. It was a lot of fun.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. That's the thing. That's what I like. Anytime I go to a barn, it reminds me of Chicago. Like when I was like, broke, early 20s. Those are my favorite types of bar. I want wood.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I want wood. I want old. I. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

I like darts. I don't like pool.

[Liza Trager]

I don't do pool.

[Grace O'Malley]

I don't do pool.

[Liza Trager]

I don't really need darts either. I like a jukebox with, like CDs or record. Like, I like an old style jukebox box.

[Grace O'Malley]

I love a cigarette machine. If you can have one of those, you know, you're. You know, you know you're. You got to keep your mouth shut on politics.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Yeah. If you're at one of those, you're.

[Grace O'Malley]

Just gonna be a good little girl.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God. I was at a bar in Kentucky and they didn't have fresh fruit. It was like lime juice in one of those. Little lime.

[Grace O'Malley]

I thought you had a platter. I'm like, relax.

[Liza Trager]

No, I don't need a platter.

[Grace O'Malley]

Have fresh fruit.

[Liza Trager]

Just squeeze some lemon.

[Grace O'Malley]

I hear you.

[Liza Trager]

She gave me the ball and I had to unscrew the little line and like.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, put do. Do it yourself. Yes. That's pretty funny. I thought you meant, like, they weren't. They didn't like.

[Liza Trager]

No, that would go to j. I love dive bars. And then I say, I need a fruit plate tray. I need a tray of fruit.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's actually, that's one of my questions I ask everybody on here is, what is your rider?

[Liza Trager]

Okay, can a Diet Coke. And if it is a bottle, I will say, I need cans for tomorrow, please. I like the. Yeah, I just need that to start my weekend. What about a f. I prefer can, but of course I'm happy with fountain if I'm on road trips or McDonald's or wherever. Like, happy with it. But I prefer can.

[Grace O'Malley]

Can.

[Liza Trager]

And then I don't usually have it, but I like the option of a sugar free Red Bull. If it's like, it's nice to know.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

If something happens, I know that I need. I can get energized.

[Grace O'Malley]

Absolutely.

[Liza Trager]

And then I have fruit and cheese.

[Grace O'Malley]

Fruit and cheese.

[Liza Trager]

And then I used to have gummies, candies.

[Grace O'Malley]

Everybody's doing that.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, it's just like, well, the cheese gives you what you want and then the fruit gives the illusion of health.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes.

[Liza Trager]

And then at night when I get high as hell, I can eat the fruit in my room. I used to ask for gummy candies, but I decided to nix that and not be given bags of candy.

[Grace O'Malley]

Gummy candies. Are we talking just regular from 7 11?

[Liza Trager]

I like to see everyone's. What they pick. Town to town is different.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's fun.

[Liza Trager]

And I like to see what everyone's kind of like what their go to is. But I was just in Cincinnati. No, Minnesota. And the club was like fruit and she. What fruit? What? Can you please be more specific? Like they were like flipping out and I'm like, I guess I want pepper Jack and like grapes. But I'm also. I just want to see what people are up to.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, that is funny. So when you say gummy, I think of like weed gummies.

[Liza Trager]

Oh no.

[Grace O'Malley]

They ever give you those? No, because that would be an oopsie doops if you were just looking for a snack.

[Liza Trager]

No, it's always. No, it's always like they'll do hair bows. A nerd cluster. Sometimes it's worms.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

Bears. The albanese. You know, a nice squishy. I like when it's fresh and sometimes you get another gummy head making the purchases for you.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, that's a thing. The people like the gummies. They know.

[Liza Trager]

And then if I'm like at a theater, not a club where there's not like a full bar, I'd probably request like a Tito's bottle or a Jack Daniels bottle if it's a drink night.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, okay. Is it always a drink night for you?

[Liza Trager]

I go with the flow. I see what I feel. But I like having a cocktail on the stage with me. I really do.

[Grace O'Malley]

I like. Yeah, like going out with a be. If I'm not drinking it, I. Which I'm always drinking it. But I'll start a show without having any. Anything to drink. But I'll come out with like a full beer just cuz it feels good.

[Liza Trager]

He feels.

[Grace O'Malley]

It just feels good.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What be. What brand?

[Grace O'Malley]

Whichever one will have me. Yeah, I'm trying to work the system, baby.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, I like Girl. Oh, Bud Light. Yeah, I like Miller High Life. But not a lot of places will have it all the time. It's not as popular over in, like.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like Brooklyn. They don't. They don't have, like, MC Ultra or Bud Light half the time. No.

[Liza Trager]

But you know what I don't like? I. When I. Sometimes I just say I want a light beer when I go places, and they'll say, the Michelob Ultra. And I go, no, that's a dollar beer. Yeah, that's not. That's like a. If I want that, I would say. That's just. I don't. I think it's a separate category.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, I think so, too.

[Liza Trager]

I go, no, like a Miller, a Bud something.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, chill.

[Liza Trager]

A lager. I just want a light lager. But I feel like I'm in a sitcom when I go, like, light beer.

[Grace O'Malley]

You know, I get a light beer. Well, honey, we've got a couple. We've got a house beer. We've got Barfire.

[Liza Trager]

I love the Rider question. That's fun. And I think. I guess if. Yeah, because usually at the clubs, you can order food.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And so that makes it easy, because right now, like, I want Funyuns. Like, right now I'm sitting here being like, wow, I guess I should maybe put Funyuns.

[Grace O'Malley]

Fungion is good. That's a good one. But then if you do, like, a meet and greet, you've got breath.

[Liza Trager]

You know what's popular? Everyone has those Lifesavers now. Those white minty Life.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

They're.

[Grace O'Malley]

They're locked in on that.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, I like Lifesaver collisions. Like, if I get a collision. Nashville had some good gummies for me.

[Grace O'Malley]

My mind just went to car crashes. I saw a car crash in my head.

[Liza Trager]

Flavor combos. But, yeah, I just want cheese and fruit.

[Grace O'Malley]

Cheese and fruit.

[Liza Trager]

And then I want to, like, order fun fried food. Like, I just.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, I've been really testing my luck on. On some of these.

[Liza Trager]

What are you putting? I was in Florida Salmon twice.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I got fish dip at one place, and I got the tuna tartar at another place.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, like, ordered from the menu at the club.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes.

[Liza Trager]

Got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I posted the tuna tartar, like, making a funny face. I'm like, jack, yeah. Parks Park's a comedy. And five girls responded and said, my waitress told me not to get that tonight. I was like. And I. Yeah, I wasn't feeling great the next morning. So I gotta.

[Liza Trager]

I gotta, like, keep demanding things I go, yeah, if you're selling out, you can demand, you know.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, God, no. I wouldn't even do that, like ever. I don't think.

[Liza Trager]

Well, in Madison, like they'll order from the menus in Madison, Wisconsin. The comedy club there. Oh yeah, that book of menus good.

[Grace O'Malley]

In Madison, Wisconsin.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. I always get this. There's also like a steak place. I love the Tornado Room. But they're like the sushi in Madison. I always get it.

[Grace O'Malley]

Madison's beautiful.

[Liza Trager]

It's beautiful. College towns are great. Smart. College towns are great.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Baltimore went to the aquarium. San Diego, you know, I got Mateo because he's famous to get us backstage tour of the zoo.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, sick. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hell yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. If you're in Cincinnati or San Diego, try to get to the zoo.

[Grace O'Malley]

Zoo. Those are two of like the most famous. Yeah. Cincinnati Zoo. Cincinnati Zoo had Harambe.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. But I'll never forget that.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, I never, I'll never forget that.

[Liza Trager]

I wish they didn't have to kill the gorilla.

[Grace O'Malley]

Kill the kid.

[Liza Trager]

Was there really not a way to save them all?

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, no, that's a good dart the gorilla, like that's your go to is you try to find like, if it's.

[Grace O'Malley]

On Saturday. I ordered a. I was embarrassed to go pick it up at my apartment. I ordered a cake. Not a slice of cake. I ordered a whole cake. What was I celebrating?

[Liza Trager]

But I want to know from where and what quality.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's bad. It's. It came in a box. It was from the. The door Dash Mart.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

And it was. Came frozen. But then you defrosted it and it was delicious.

[Liza Trager]

Is. Oh, it was okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

It was really good. It was coconut. It's like, I don't know. I don't even know who made it. It was so good. But my problem was I ordered a whole cake.

[Liza Trager]

That's cool.

[Grace O'Malley]

I. I couldn't sleep because my stomach hurts so bad.

[Liza Trager]

And I'm like, did you finish the cake?

[Grace O'Malley]

I think I need to go to a nutritionist. Yes, of course.

[Liza Trager]

Well, cuz the frozen of it is upsetting. Cuz if you went to like, you know, there's a bakery here. You got a kid, you know.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, I wouldn't even leave my apartment.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Turn into like, like Sandy from spongebob. Bulking up for the winter. I don't know if you get that reference.

[Liza Trager]

No, my reference is when I feel like, disgusting, I say Gilbert Grape's mom. Like whenever I have a day where I'm just like out of control and feel it in my soul, I'm like, oh God. I'm on the path to be Gilbert Grape's mom.

[Grace O'Malley]

Ggm. I'm having a GGM today, guys. I'm not coming out of the house.

[Liza Trager]

It's so devastating.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I. Oh my God. So I. Or after the Beyonce concert, I had to like do SVU work still. So I knew I had to be up late. I was hungry after the show. Ordered a number one from McDonald's. I love a Big Mac. I go, I'm the best cinnamon.

[Grace O'Malley]

Is that what it is? The Big Mac meal is number one. Yeah, of course it is.

[Liza Trager]

But this woman, you know, it was like delayed, delayed. But I go, it's 1:45 in the morning. Like, whatever that happens. Delivery time was 2am this didn't come till 2:40. I watched her ride to Union Square Backs and I put like, right riding around town, truly riding around. I was taking screenshots of her journey Drops off my food, she ate my fries, she took my Sprite. And the bag was open, the stickers were.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, that's a rarity.

[Liza Trager]

It was psychotic.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's really.

[Liza Trager]

Just go yourself, Edith.

[Grace O'Malley]

I mean, I. Listen, I was a doordasher. Everything I did on foot.

[Liza Trager]

That's insane. That happened to me one time. I ordered a hot dog in Williamsburg and I was like, what the, sir?

[Grace O'Malley]

I was up on my part.

[Liza Trager]

People were so upset when everything was.

[Grace O'Malley]

I don't even think that. I think it gave me a bike emoji because you have to have a bike. But I was like, yeah, I'm on a. Like, I, Yeah, I was doing it on foot. I was taking the subway. I. I was going up 8, 9, 10 flights of walk upstairs. And I was like, can I leave it just down here? They're like, no, that's why I ordered it to come up.

[Liza Trager]

I'm like, oh, fine.

[Grace O'Malley]

It was brutal. But my whole thing of it I was talking about the other day. You're so young and naive when you move here. Like, bright eyed and bushy tailed. I hung around 30 rocks thinking that I could get their pickups for the. For any show that they have there. And I was like, I'm gonna network when I get there. If I ever got their. Their lunch, I'm gonna.

[Liza Trager]

But that's fine.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, but that's picking up their lunch, you know, for sure.

[Liza Trager]

But I. It's definitely naive, but I don't think so naive. You have that, like when you first start standing, you're like, ugh, yeah. And then you just. And then you're like, oh, yeah. Oh, I did. Because I bombed one. And then I did so good. And then I was like, oh, I should definitely get to Zany's. And then I. But then I went. Went to Zany's. I always say that I went to Zany's. This was in 2009. Paid to see Hannibal Burz. Then I went to an open mic and he was at the open mic.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, no.

[Liza Trager]

And that's when I went feasible. You're a headline. But you have to keep working at the. You know, like you figure out. But I don't know. Yeah, I like that though.

[Grace O'Malley]

Did you. Do you ever do anything? Like you make a lot of mistakes when you first move here? I feel like, how old were you when you moved here in 2014?

[Liza Trager]

Like maybe 24, 25.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like your first year? You're. You're just running around confused. What?

[Liza Trager]

Well, so I moved with my Megan Gailey.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

And she's a comic. And we. Okay. So our friends. We had four guy friends and they lived in Bushwick. And we were gonna share an air mattress in their middle hallway was the plan. In their basement.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's always good.

[Liza Trager]

And then their apartment flooded. And then the air mattress broke because she. Someone too hard on it. I guess I shouldn't have said her full name, but whatever. So the air mattress popped. Stopped.

[Grace O'Malley]

He's getting it.

[Liza Trager]

The basement was filled with mold.

[Grace O'Malley]

The basement's flooded. Now your mattress is a flotation device.

[Liza Trager]

And there's four guys living there. So it's like guy vibes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I was on the couch. They got a twin air mattress. And we were just laying there, all of our clothes and suitcases. We were just on an apartment hunt. And our plan was we're going to share a room because that was the only way we could afford to do it. So we shared a bed in a one bedroom railroad in Hell's Kitchen.

[Grace O'Malley]

And that is the New York dream.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. With one sink in the kitchen. We didn't have a bathroom sink.

[Grace O'Malley]

Sink.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, wow. And you had to climb over the toilet to get into the bathtub. That was horizontal. Like, the shower didn't go the long way. It went the wide way of the shower. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

In a real room.

[Liza Trager]

And there was like a hot pole. So, like, we had have to climb over the toilet and avoid the hot pool. And we shared a bed. And we do. And we didn't. We did not.

[Grace O'Malley]

They have a think about it. Times get tough.

[Liza Trager]

No, but she started dating someone so she would have nights out. Like. Yeah. So then she's. And then we. I do. I think I do a bit about this in my special. But then we caught the building super on a ladder. Spy in our bedroom window.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

So then we had to move out.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And then we got our own rooms and.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's good. How long were you. How long were you doing that brothel?

[Liza Trager]

I would say five months.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

But we were talking to me. Yeah. And then we went to Williamsburg and we lived like she, her and this guy she was dating. Our friend shocks. And me and this three bedroom, I ended up living there for three and a half years. And the other people in the rooms would, like, circle in and out.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's fun. But roommates are tricky when. When things are circling out. Like, were they random?

[Liza Trager]

No, always comics. And always comics. I knew.

[Grace O'Malley]

So it's always fun.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

But it's always.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, and drama. I mean, mental ill. There was definitely fighting. And then, like, me and Megan, we definitely Went through ups and downs in our friendship because then you're also living with someone's boyfriend too. And, and I, you know, I didn't have certain skills that I have now in terms of communication or living with everything.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Cuz I'm like desperate to chat. I'm a chatter. I still will put off work or responsibilities to like hang longer.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh my God.

[Liza Trager]

I had to be up this morning at like 7:15. Stayed on a street corner talking to another comic till three in the morning. Why?

[Grace O'Malley]

Because it's fun. One thing. I'm the same way. One thing about me. I hate when the night is over. I really do. I, I will prolong it. I'll, I'll go. Everyone will be like, all right, this is our last trip drink. I'm like, all right, yeah. And like they'll start talking about something and I'll go get everyone another round. They're like, dude, we, we have to go home. Like, well, I got you a drink.

[Liza Trager]

No, my friends know I need a warning before. Like if I see someone just call an Uber on their phone without giving a heads up, that's like, I really don't like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

An Irish goodbye. Oh, so you want me to kill myself?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, I need a 10 minute warning and my friends know that. They go, you know we're going to be heading out in 10. And I go, great.

[Grace O'Malley]

I need, yeah, I need time to digest that.

[Liza Trager]

That I have to be out of a hang. Like I want to hang all night. Last, like, yeah, sleepover.

[Grace O'Malley]

Always last time. Like the first time we met.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. You.

[Grace O'Malley]

You were the first to leave.

[Liza Trager]

I was.

[Grace O'Malley]

And we were, we were at.

[Liza Trager]

But you know what I've learned? It's because I don't do some drugs.

[Grace O'Malley]

I.

[Liza Trager]

And that gets me to bed on.

[Grace O'Malley]

The same little roundtable talk with Jamie Foxx. He called them enhancements.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I think I'm gonna start calling.

[Liza Trager]

Them that because this is my problem. I was at a wedding and it was a British wedding, so it starts early. These Brits, like really? Yeah, they do like an 11 o' clock a.m. wedding time or something. Yeah, there's drinks before the ceremony, but it's like usually early garden vibes and it went really late, but by 11 I was done and I said, bye, guy. I'm gonna eat a pizza in my room. Like, I have to go.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And I realized everyone was on enhancements.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes.

[Liza Trager]

And I go, okay, I'm not a loser. I, I have to like work harder.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, you do. Because yeah, everyone else is taking, taking Technical steroids for partying.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. So this keeps happening where I'm like, how are people up?

[Grace O'Malley]

If you take a look around once, you're like, deciding if you're gonna go to bed, everyone's talking like this. So anyways, I was talking and I, I seriously, the music was.

[Liza Trager]

But I was like, oh, I'm a loser. I gotta go.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, that wasn't, that wasn't loser vibes. Because guess what?

[Liza Trager]

Because then our other friends stayed up till 10 in the morning talking to someone because we had brunch plans. She goes, I'm going to bed right now.

[Grace O'Malley]

I would have been right there with her until I was in the middle of telling a story and someone in the room was like, hey, Grace, your car's about to be here in 10 minutes to go to the airport. And I was like, oh, oh, oh. I wasn't packed or anything. And then I didn't know that. It was like we, we were sharing cars with comics to get to the airport.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And so I jump right in. I'm like, what's up, guys? How we doing? How's everyone doing? I have a cowboy hat on for no reason at all.

[Liza Trager]

And everyone silent.

[Grace O'Malley]

And they're like, hi, who are you? I didn't get any sleep yet. And they're like, yeah, we know. And I was like, oh, they don't. Nobody wants to talk. And so I'm just sitting there like.

[Liza Trager]

That was me on the swim team. We would get picked up for practice at 5:30 in the morning, and I would just start talking and moms would be like, shut your mouth. I'm like, my bad.

[Grace O'Malley]

I know. Because you want to, you want to shoot the, with the moms because the kids aren't even woken up yet.

[Liza Trager]

No one was interested. But yeah, I did go. I, I did go to bed early. It's like, sad, but I passed out. But what I found on those. I had full days. It was like swimming and this and dinners. It was like, fun.

[Grace O'Malley]

We also went to the. We weren't. We didn't really, like, fully meet quite yet. When we went to the, the spring in Austin. Yeah, all the comics kind of met up at the spring. Yeah, I swam in that, that spring the whole time I was there.

[Liza Trager]

Those clowns are crazy, though.

[Grace O'Malley]

Those clowns are crazy. I, I talk about, I actually, I talk about those clowns all the time on this podcast because Zach Zucker was one of my, like, first guests randomly, and not randomly, but. And people were fascinated by him because he's just, he's so Funny. He's so on. And he's a clown. Like, an actual clown. And my audience doesn't even know comedians, so they're like, who's this clown? Who's this clown?

[Liza Trager]

But yeah, they really. Because then I saw them at the after party that night or the last night, and they were, like, carrying each other like bowling. I'm like, you guys are out of your mind.

[Grace O'Malley]

And they like, strictly roll with Neil Patrick Harris.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

That was a weird thing. But yeah, I was excited to meet you, but I sometimes feel like I'm like such an. Like an old woman at times with all the young, cool gals.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm a nervous.

[Liza Trager]

I was, like, excited to be at the hotel. And then you, you know, you had the nicer hotel than all of us. So we were all spiraling. O. Yeah. All us old people had. Were so tall. We were in the Tommy and you were in the Thompson.

[Grace O'Malley]

Listen, I didn't.

[Liza Trager]

You were a young wonder kid.

[Grace O'Malley]

I didn't know that.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, no. On the way we were here I.

[Grace O'Malley]

Am being like, everyone come back to my room.

[Liza Trager]

No, we were. You couldn't fit in our room. So we were on the side of the hotel where the toilet and shower are together in a. In an area. And it's clear glass. There's not a full bathroom. So we were in the elevator, and I go, is Grayson the Thompson? I'm going to kill myself. Like, I was like. We were all spiraling in the elevator, going, your hotel room.

[Grace O'Malley]

And then you guys walk in. I'm like, we're having a blast.

[Liza Trager]

You were. I should have just had. I should have just been cooler. I sometimes get in my head that I'm like, old, but I'm not. I actually went out with. I've gone out with a few 20 something year olds. And, like, I also can't hang. Like, my hangovers then are like two days.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, it's totally fair.

[Liza Trager]

But I went out with Marcelo, you know, a young, rich celebrity. My. A kid. A famous kid.

[Grace O'Malley]

A. He is a famous kid. How old is this kid?

[Liza Trager]

He's like 28. He's a grown man.

[Grace O'Malley]

Man. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Marcelo's a grown man.

[Grace O'Malley]

He's older than me. Give Marcel that little. I want to give him a nugget.

[Liza Trager]

But he. We were like, in the car going, I don't really go clubbing.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Liza Trager]

Clubbing.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm just gonna film that name.

[Liza Trager]

Trap.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, no, I'm just gonna fill them in. Domingo. Oh, Domingo, the girly pops. They have to like, oh, yeah. Be like, informed. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And he's so great. I mean, the fact that he invited me was very nice to go clubbing. I was wearing Birkenstocks and a sweater. Like it wasn't and it was not.

[Grace O'Malley]

Wait, where were you?

[Liza Trager]

I was just at the Comedy Cellar and he's like, we're going to the Box.

[Grace O'Malley]

Because in Miami, we're going to the Box. You can't get into clubs wearing that in Miami. I, I've, I learned two times in a row. Two, two nights in a row.

[Liza Trager]

I'm really intimidated by Miami.

[Grace O'Malley]

And he's from Miami, right?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. So I was just curious because they are so fucking mean about their fucking dress codes.

[Liza Trager]

But I wonder if you're with someone famous if that all changes.

[Grace O'Malley]

You would think, I don't know, I was like rolling with a bunch of like reality stars and they were like, like, but like reality stars and reality star. I don't know. I did.

[Liza Trager]

I wonder because I shouldn't have been let in. I truly had a messy bun. Like, I went to go do a spot.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I didn't. But I want to say yes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Had you been to the Box before?

[Liza Trager]

I've not gone clubbing once in New York City.

[Grace O'Malley]

What the fuck?

[Liza Trager]

I used to like go clubbing when I was like 18, 19, 20 in Chicago.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

But when I moved here, I was like, comedy, comedy, comedy, comedy, comedy. That's all I did. It's all I thought about. I would host three, four shows a night at the Cellar. I would stay there till six in the morning.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Like, I would go home mad. Met like dawn. But it was all con. Like I was just, you know, hustling.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

So I didn't even think or I was like out with just small groups of friends. I didn't have the money to go. Like, it just wasn't. I also don't think I'm like sexy enough to go club. It's just like not what I did.

[Grace O'Malley]

That is, that is all wrong.

[Liza Trager]

I'm like too intimidated by everything.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's fair.

[Liza Trager]

I need someone to, I need like a famous person to bring me, I guess so I could just be relaxed.

[Grace O'Malley]

A promoter. I, I, When I first moved here, I, I became friends with a promoter.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

And then we would just go and have free bottles all the time. That was the only way I was gonna go clubbing is cuz I couldn't afford it. I was door dashing on foot.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. So it just wasn't. I was babysitting. It just wasn't my reality. And then I don't know. But in the car, he's like, yeah. I was hanging out with Emile and I told him, we gotta go out, we gotta enjoy this. We gotta party. Because when we're 37, we're gonna regret not doing it. And I'm 37 in the back of this car.

[Grace O'Malley]

Dude, know your audience. Marcella, that's so funny.

[Liza Trager]

But he is so nice. But he. Everyone was just, like, treating me like an aunt too. They're like, would you need it? And I've been talking about this clubbing night for two months now. Like, he's probably clubbed like, 18 times since then. Like, does not care a drop in the bucket for him.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm calling it the. The clubbing night that you had to.

[Liza Trager]

I've been talking about this for months. Yeah. It was embarrassing how, Like. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

What was going on at the Box that night?

[Liza Trager]

It was definitely sexy.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But I was really, like, kind of turned off by the crowd. In terms, everyone was beautiful.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Honestly, some of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. Someone hit me in the head with a cell phone. Didn't really care. Like, no one.

[Grace O'Malley]

Pardon.

[Liza Trager]

Like, I truly, like, was, like, invisible to people. It was kind of. And then at one point, I was sitting in the booth alone. Like, everyone left. So I was like, I can't believe I'm, like, living junior high again. I was just like. And then the bottle served was, like, dripping off the curtain onto my lap. So I was just, like, getting dripped on, sitting in a booth alone, being like, no one even wants to sit next to me. I wish I felt like Carrie.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, Carrie. Carrie. The scary Carrie.

[Liza Trager]

I was like, I would love to be Carrie Bradshaw. Yeah. I'm like, really?

[Grace O'Malley]

See, I. I would have seen you sitting in the booth by yourself and been like, that's a pimp.

[Liza Trager]

No, I think because of the Birkenstocks. You know, maybe if I had a blowout, like, it just was, like, a little. Because, you know, I get my grades covered. But I went to the hair salon to have a blowout for this at 8:15. I was at the. In the chair.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, my God.

[Liza Trager]

And then I went to the dentist at 11.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. You got. You. You've got your pearly whites and your hair all did up. Well, it doesn't go without notice.

[Liza Trager]

Thank you.

[Grace O'Malley]

You look gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. And here I am wearing a sweat tracksuit.

[Liza Trager]

No, I haven't done my laundry. No, you're incredible. At the club was nice, but what I was seeing, I would react like no one was like, well, everyone's so, like, they're just void of, like. I'm like, is no one clapping? But I guess maybe they're used to it. They go there all the time. Maybe they're regulars. Like, I don't know the vibe. But as a performer, I was just like, yeah. Why is no one.

[Grace O'Malley]

It shouldn't be this background thing. Because, like, the one in London, I feel like, gets, like, the audience reacts a little bit better.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

And in New York, it feels like they're like, oh, yeah. Well, of course they have the girl drinking her period blood, but, like, what do you guys want to get for a drink? Yeah, it's like, it's so crazy.

[Liza Trager]

And then I was talking, you know, I've been talking about the box because I felt so cool, you know, summer house. And then some girl was like, oh, yeah. I used to go when I was 15, I'm like, damn, that's.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, did she grow up in New York?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Those kids are like, they are the coolest. They're. They're so cool.

[Liza Trager]

But, yeah, I would do, like, patron shots in my early 20s.

[Grace O'Malley]

Have you ever got yelled at or talking to by a New York City kid ever? In the street?

[Liza Trager]

I hope one day.

[Grace O'Malley]

No, they just be, like, yelling out all the time.

[Liza Trager]

No, but I saw a teen once start smoking a blunt on the train.

[Grace O'Malley]

So badass.

[Liza Trager]

And he shared it with me. Oh, and I did take a hit. I don't care.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's a crime.

[Liza Trager]

I took. I took a blunt from the teenager.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's a special moment, you know, because.

[Liza Trager]

Someone told him to put it out. He, like, opened the window. I mean, he was just the cool. Yeah. City kids are different. That's why, like, you can't lie with and say you're from a city if you're not. Because I do think it's like, a different upbringing and a different personality.

[Grace O'Malley]

100. Yeah. I, I, I'll always start with I'm from Boston because it's easier.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And then it's like, no, I'm 30 minutes out of Boston.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, it's.

[Liza Trager]

Is it more of a driving or is or do people not have cars in Boston? Some, like, Like, I also think, like, New York, Chicago, like, if you're cta, it's different too, or MTA and stuff.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. But no, it's. You don't need a car. Like, my mom didn't get her license till she was, like, 20 something. Okay, cool. Yeah. So my parents are from the city.

[Liza Trager]

Are you close with your parents? Do they Listen, are they proud of you?

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes. And I had to tell them early on, like, you're not gonna love everything all the time. What about your. What about your parents?

[Liza Trager]

They don't really speak English, which works for me.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's good. Yeah. Right?

[Liza Trager]

And they're Soviet, so they're not nice to my face really often.

[Grace O'Malley]

Which. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Isn't a part of your special about me. Like, the neighbor was like, we, we watch you, we watch your YouTube, you know, like, like, you know, my people will be like, your dad is always bragging or talking, but like, he won't really say anything nice to me.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. Yeah, yeah. And you said any special. And I'm sorry to keep giving stuff away.

[Liza Trager]

I don't mind.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's okay. Okay. You told the story of how you were about to do surgery and your dad didn't tell you he loves you and you're telling a friend. And your friends. Well, you should tell people that. That would make your character make more sense.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Yeah. No, I also had to work on how being tactile with friends because we really weren't an emo, like loose. I love you. Like, that I had to grow into like. Cuz I. Yeah. My mom recently did it, but it was in a fight because I was like, no one respects me. No one. Like, I was like kind of melting down. And she goes, we're proud of you, we respect you and we love you. Leave us alone. And I was like, okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

You just like kick your feet, like run away, skip away. I'm like, actually, okay. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

There's just more closed off because of the like, you know, their ward life.

[Grace O'Malley]

Do they get it in the sense of like, this is a career or do they think that you're still like, okay. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

No. My mom actually early on because I have older. I don't know why, how she had so much perspective. But even before I was full time or anything, my mom said, every year there's progress, so how could we be mad?

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, okay. And I think what she meant was, we are so proud of you and you're so hardworking.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

You know, but like, you have to read between the lines.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. And like, because I got arrested a bunch and was a menace before I started stand up.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

That like, once I found standup, they like loved it. Cuz I was. They knew where I was every night. And I was like, I had a goal and even if I was drinking, I was like, I don't know, I was just. There was just purpose.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm still technically working.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. That's good. That's good.

[Liza Trager]

No, it's like the best life. It's like so fun and to be able to travel and then we grew up on like we love movies.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And stuff. So I really like. My mom likes hearing about like stories about the set or if someone really famous is out. Stuff like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, so she'd like, she likes like the pop culture of it all.

[Liza Trager]

No, it has to be not. It has to be like when I met Demi Moore.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. Like that's to be like super, super big deal.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Bob Saget. She remember. Like it has to be rest in peace. But like yeah, it has to be that kind or I'll have to send her a photo of a few face.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

But she doesn't know anyone young.

[Grace O'Malley]

She's totally fair.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Cuz is she online?

[Liza Trager]

She is.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

But it's recipes.

[Mateo Lane]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

Cats. I don't know if she's like what? Like who should she know?

[Grace O'Malley]

Like. Yeah, I know. I like, I just like, I wonder.

[Liza Trager]

Like, like I don't think she knows who Benson Boone is.

[Grace O'Malley]

And that's a damn shame.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, she might like him actually. She might be charmed by him. She likes Adele. Okay, maybe that. Is that contemporary enough like 2010? I think so. Like Miley maybe if they're Jennifer Lawrence she would know that. Might be post 2010. Like it has to be Oscar's Prestige T. She might know Timothy maybe. But she wouldn't watch Midsummer A little maybe not even. Maybe her face. Okay, maybe her face. But also co up their lives because they couldn't go. They didn't get vacc. They're old, they were scared and so they, they stopped going to the movies and stuff.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's too bad. Yeah. Did you guys get in a fight about that? It.

[Liza Trager]

Listen, at the end of the day, cuz my dad had huge heart surgery during the pandemic and I don't know, to me I'm like I'm going to force them to do something and then something happens and then I have to live with that. Like they're adults. They came here like I have to leave them alone. But yeah, we tried to convince them every moment we got. We tried to punish them. We tried everything we could.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But they stayed safe. And they wore masks. They believed it was real.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay, that's, that's a big factor.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, they believed it was real and were sanitizing and masks and my dad will still wear masks on. They just didn't want to get the vax.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

So yeah, we like I don't think my dad, My sister kept the grandkids away. They did nothing. If. If seeing the grandkids didn't influence them, what would have.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And then my dad's like a weird, authoritative kind of guy because he grew up under Stalin. He's just. He's just an 87 year old man.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like the. The radios that are like doing propaganda 24. Seven in the houses. Is that that? Is that.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, but it's all Russian. Like he watches Russian news. It's all Russian state media. He found out this was not this heart thing. He found out he was having a stroke because he called the Russian radio doctor.

[Mateo Lane]

Oh, wow.

[Liza Trager]

And guess where he was coming from? The liquor store. Buying handles of vodka in the trunk. So this just has like, handles of vodka. He's having a stroke and didn't b. Called the radio and the radio had to tell him to go to the E.R. wow. Old. Like old school drinks room temperature vodka. Thinks ice is a scam him. When we go out to restaurants, he goes, no ice. Like, he does not trust you.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, wow.

[Liza Trager]

Because he thinks it's like, you're watering my stuff down. You're trying to get away with something.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, gosh.

[Liza Trager]

And if we're at restaurants, he always goes, your mother can make this better. Everything's always. That's.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's romantic.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, but she deserves a break.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

We can't just have her cooking for every day. Like, let this woman chill.

[Grace O'Malley]

Like, like, no, please. No. I think it's actually very delicious. I've actually. I retired the oven. M Done.

[Liza Trager]

No, my dad's just like, it's tough, but once during the pandemic, he goes, if Putin gets vaxxed, I'll get vaxxed. That's what he said one time. So then I found out that he got vaxxed. So I call my dad and I go, guess who got vaxxed? Your favorite guy.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

My dad goes, Leonardo DiCaprio. We're a big Leo house.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's good. That's cool.

[Liza Trager]

And I go, well, Leo definitely is, but. Yeah, that's really funny.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, no.

[Liza Trager]

When Leonardo DiCaprio would lose an Oscar, my dad would flip out and leave and go upstairs. Like, he would. He would be upset. Oh, we were a big Leo house.

[Grace O'Malley]

Were you with your parents around, like American Idol times?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, because I was a fresh. I remember Kelly Clarkson won my freshman year swim team.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah. Okay, that's. It's really locked in for you. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Because on senior night, they put a moment like this.

[Grace O'Malley]

Of course. And so Somebody just told me recently you're either an American Idol family or you're a Survivor family.

[Liza Trager]

No, we were a Entertainment Tonight every day. We love that. And we went to the movies every Friday.

[Grace O'Malley]

And then when they stopped kind of doing Entertainment Tonight, that's probably when your mom was like, no. All right. I have. I've retained all the celebrity.

[Liza Trager]

I think what TV show we watched, though, we might have split up. We didn't watch Survivor or American Idol. I just knew about them all. This is good. I don't know. My mom maybe watched ER But I didn't really care.

[Grace O'Malley]

Is that a soap opera?

[Liza Trager]

It was about, like, a hospital.

[Grace O'Malley]

Gotcha. That makes sense.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. ER yeah. Sorry to insult your intelligence.

[Grace O'Malley]

I have a couple games before we.

[Liza Trager]

I feel like I just talk too much because everything you say is so funny. I'm like, I should. I want to be laughing more.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, thank you so much. Well, right back at you. I think. I think this is, like, perfect yin and yang.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. For this segment, I'm gonna list some of the classic millennial trends, and you have to tell me if they'd be able to survive in 2025.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. Flower crowns.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

The term adulting. No chokers.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Fake mustaches.

[Liza Trager]

Like this kind.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

No. Yeah, that was bad when it was happening.

[Grace O'Malley]

It was bad. It was.

[Liza Trager]

It was over before it started. It was really late. Like, upsetting. Honestly, being a being of that era, the mustache thing was really upsetting.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm really happy to hear that.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. I didn't like it, and it made me judge people.

[Grace O'Malley]

Good, good. Okay, We're. We're on the same page here. Bohemian home decor.

[Liza Trager]

I'm fine. I am fine with that, because I think that's a lifestyle outside of the trend, if. If that's your truth.

[Grace O'Malley]

The Snooki poof.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. I love it. Forever. I don't care.

[Grace O'Malley]

I think. I think. I like. I see that.

[Liza Trager]

I'm like.

[Grace O'Malley]

That would be fun.

[Liza Trager]

She's like an icon, honestly, because everyone. Everyone, when they got there, was like, ew, you're weird. And then she's the. Like, the star of them all, you know, by being herself.

[Grace O'Malley]

By just being herself. And she never fudgeing, switched up.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And she never stopped partying. And I love that about her smokey eye makeup.

[Liza Trager]

I do the same crease I've been doing for 15, 20 years. So, yeah. I would say, for me, selfishly, yes. Because I do it.

[Grace O'Malley]

I had to have a friend sit me down and be like, dude, you. I love you, and you look great always. But, like, you're still doing your makeup like you did in middle school. You could change some stuff around.

[Liza Trager]

No, I do the same Mac colors that I've been doing since high school, and it's just, like, thing and then a thing here. And, like, I just. You like what you like, or I hire a professional. Yeah, they can have the skills. I cannot learn those skills.

[Grace O'Malley]

Pencil skirts.

[Liza Trager]

Wow. I didn't realize that was a millennial trend. I think they're sexy. So, yes. I think for sex, yes. For the world, no.

[Grace O'Malley]

And for the office, absolutely.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. I think it's hot.

[Grace O'Malley]

Office hoes and CEOs. You ever go to one of those parties? No, I should.

[Liza Trager]

Maybe I'll do it for my birthday this year.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's so degrading.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, is it?

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, of course it's. The guys get to dress up in suits, and you dress like a slutty whore.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, that's probably why I like it, because I'm into. Yeah. Being degraded.

[Grace O'Malley]

Being degraded. Yes, of course. And then you said it.

[Liza Trager]

I go, maybe this. You had to tell me.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's my birthday party theme. Feathers in hair.

[Liza Trager]

Feathers in hair. I didn't even know it was a thing. I'm gonna say no.

[Grace O'Malley]

Tinsel and hair.

[Liza Trager]

Tinsel's in because of Anora. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Liza Trager]

She put the tinsel in her hair.

[Grace O'Malley]

That was a great movie.

[Liza Trager]

I haven't seen it yet.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, I thought it was really good. It was, like, worth the.

[Liza Trager]

I touched all the press. She's boring.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's what I thought. And then she's a little firecracker in the movie.

[Liza Trager]

Well, yes. An actress.

[Grace O'Malley]

Truly and honestly, because I saw her get into.

[Liza Trager]

Did you watch the Substance?

[Grace O'Malley]

I did.

[Liza Trager]

I just wanted to be more to win so bad. I know that. I think I'm catapulting that hate towards this young ingenue who deserves everything.

[Grace O'Malley]

I felt the same way because of what the movie represented and how it would have just been, like, a double win.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

But, you know, inventive.

[Liza Trager]

But I have to see a Nora. But I just remember seeing the substance in the theater. I went by myself and I went. This is why we go to the movies. Like, this is cinema. It's something new. It's visually stunning. Like what? You know, I loved it.

[Grace O'Malley]

That was, like, the. One of the only movies I went to last year.

[Liza Trager]

Same.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I went by myself, and I turned to the girly pops next to me, and I was like, that was crazy. And then I, like, walked out of the movies, and I was like, like, that's fun. Yeah. The movie's just an experience, and it should be.

[Liza Trager]

And it was. I just. I just loved the guys treating her so poorly. Or like, when he's banging on the door, about to be mean and not. I'm like, God, it just says so much.

[Grace O'Malley]

So good. That's so good.

[Liza Trager]

Sorry.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yep.

[Liza Trager]

Tinsel's in feathers. Remind me of bad times.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Just like, kids pretending to be homeless, following bands and festivals. Vests, and I don't like that hot.

[Grace O'Malley]

Pink feather and curly redheaded hair. I'll put a picture in. It doesn't work. And someone should have told me that. Actually. It just doesn't work.

[Liza Trager]

Are you very fashion forward, risk taker?

[Grace O'Malley]

Nope. I buy what what fits, and that's as far as my fashion can go. Yeah, that's really. You can't really be fashionable when you're a little bit bigger.

[Liza Trager]

I'm going to give you my stylist.

[Grace O'Malley]

Thank you very much.

[Liza Trager]

She's changed my life. If I wear her clothes, I get complimented, and if I don't, I don't.

[Grace O'Malley]

Did she sell you for Watch what Happens live?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

I loved that dress.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Asos.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's great.

[Liza Trager]

It was asos. Because she keeps everything affordable, too.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's good.

[Liza Trager]

Everything's from, like, chill brands. Nothing's overpriced. And she just makes me feel so good about myself.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And things that I would never buy. And it's like, she. Things just fit. I'm like, I can't wear that. And then I'm like, wait, it fits. I feel so good. Like, she truly. She really, like my best friend just this weekend at Beyonce goes, that woman changed your life. I'm so glad she's in it.

[Grace O'Malley]

And that's. That's an art in itself to be able to do that for somebody.

[Liza Trager]

And I've worked with other people. They don't get it. She's more like every day. Not even just events. So then it's like, it's just plain clothes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Because I feel that. Or when friends want to go shopping and I'm in there, I'm like, I don't want to go in there.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, I won't even go.

[Liza Trager]

They're like, let's go to Zara. I go, I don't want to go to Zara.

[Grace O'Malley]

I have no interest of going to Zara. And everyone always tells me about how or Oritzia is, like, a pain in the ass to go shop at. I'm like, oh, that stinks.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, I totally. I have the option I feel that with the clothes. Or it's like, yeah, you just have to like, I wouldn't even like or not like something. I'd be like, I guess this is my option. And she just kind of changed that for me.

[Mateo Lane]

Alana.

[Grace O'Malley]

Really huge. Yeah. And cuz that's my only outlook is like, yeah, I'll just get something like I, I just all my clothes from.

[Liza Trager]

Target and I'll give her what I want and she'll find. I'll be like, I want crops and this and that and she just finds the thing.

[Grace O'Malley]

What's her name?

[Liza Trager]

Alana Kellen.

[Grace O'Malley]

We should have gatekeeps. But no, give it to business. What the hell.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. She's a mother.

[Grace O'Malley]

She's a mother.

[Liza Trager]

She's a mother. And it's a hard job. It's so much manual labor when you think about it. The racks, the clothing, the return. It's just like. It is a lot of work.

[Grace O'Malley]

It is, it is. I have this one segment, it's called jokes in my notes. Okay. Now this is. I ask each comedian to see if they have anything in their notes that they don't want to use on stage or, or that don't even make sense. Because I feel like a comedian's notes app is insane. And so I'll share one I have written down and if you have one, I'll do mine while you look.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

I have one I wrote.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, I have one about redheads.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, be careful. Proceed with caution.

[Liza Trager]

I feel like redheads right now are so happy that they're considered black. Like, have you seen? The vibe has shifted. There's like a new attitude because you don't get it.

[Grace O'Malley]

We're finally being seen.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, it's kind of. It's fun. It's fun for the redheads.

[Grace O'Malley]

We were told that we don't have souls and now we have soul.

[Liza Trager]

That's fucking incredible.

[Grace O'Malley]

Really good stuff. It's huge for us.

[Liza Trager]

I do have a joke. I'm working on A.J. mcLean. Johnny no Name. And like the man was obviously struggling.

[Grace O'Malley]

What?

[Liza Trager]

So when I was in junior high, I was obsessed with the Backstreet boys. And then AJ McLean went on a solo tour as his alter ego, Johnny no Name. And I was like, like into it, went to the solo tour, but he was clearly having like a substance abuse issue.

[Mateo Lane]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And on that and. And you fell for it.

[Liza Trager]

You know, I was just a happy child, but I wonder if my brother in law who took me was like, this man's having a mental health struggle.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, I'm sure it was Clear as day. But you just thought he was a goddamn rock star.

[Liza Trager]

I also want to do something about, like, how I'm annoyed that royalty wants respect, but they're all in like, how dare you be so inbred and think you're better than us.

[Grace O'Malley]

I like that. That's really good.

[Liza Trager]

I hope so.

[Grace O'Malley]

That really. I think that really works. I've got one last final segment for you. It's called Disgraceful receipts.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm gonna show you some things from your digital footprint.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God. And I would like if you could.

[Grace O'Malley]

Just like, explain yourself.

[Liza Trager]

I. Okay, okay. I've had really bad tweets. I'm scared.

[Grace O'Malley]

I was gonna start off with a picture.

[Liza Trager]

Okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

And the caption is blonde taking selfies before it was a thing. Hashtag FBF stuff.

[Liza Trager]

Oh my God. Yeah. I'm 20 years old there. I went to Portland, Oregon, and I hooked up with. I think that was my first time I hooked up with a girl.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Well, that's this blonde night.

[Grace O'Malley]

I kind of. When I heard Portland, I kind of knew where the story was going. I think that was.

[Liza Trager]

She was so hot. And she like fixed airplanes.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, wow.

[Liza Trager]

And so the next day I was like running around her apartment trying to steal something for a memento to remember.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah, that's normal.

[Liza Trager]

And she. She gave me like a bolt from a plane.

[Grace O'Malley]

That is lesbian love at its finest, Truly and honestly.

[Liza Trager]

Wait, are you embarrassed because of the fbf? The blondes taking selfies? That is. I'm embarrassed about the caption.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm not embarrassed. I never. I never said so I'm embarrassed. I just had a feeling there was definitely a story behind that and we got one.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. It was like my friends lived in an anarchist vegan co op up and I went to visit them and they took me out.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's always something, huh?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. It was like a fun tr. Yeah. Open minded. Cuz that's what I always say. Cuz this person that I visit is a trans dude. And I can't believe I was this young, pretty dumb. And they were like, I'm a dude. And I went, okay, yeah, I lived my life and that. And it's so weird seeing people truly not being able to grasp that brains shifting question. Like truly confused, hateful, not understanding. He just told me and maybe I up. Like I was about to up a couple times.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And he. He had to be like, I'm like a boy. And I went, all right. Weird, but okay.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And moved on.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah. I mean, you're ahead of your Time. You're like Lady Gaga.

[Liza Trager]

Thanks.

[Grace O'Malley]

Truly ahead of your time.

[Liza Trager]

I don't think I was, but I worked at like a punk rock salon in Chicago after I got arrested and stuff. So I went, oh, that's like, I had to take the train. You know, I. I couldn't drive. So cliche and ever it was drag queens and derby girls. I just opened my mind up as like a pretty young person to just different people.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's the thing. Like you. If you don't get the experience, you stay simple minded. Like the people on the farms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next up, we've got this bad boy.

[Liza Trager]

Okay, so I did have a Snapchat show when Snapchat came out. Rock on, Comedy Central. Digital. No, this is the thing. I'm like, behind on everything or ahead. I've been working consistently, but never catapulted to wealth or fame. But this felt cool. This felt cool. I had my own Snapchat show. I made episodes. My friend. I mean, Blotnick wrote on it. My hair and makeup girl, Candace. Still my hair, makeup girl.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hell yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But that's a neoprene dress, so that's an issue.

[Grace O'Malley]

What is it?

[Liza Trager]

Neoprene is the material they make, like, scuba suits out of of. Yeah, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, yeah. That's different. It's definitely. It's different. You get that at a boutique.

[Liza Trager]

ASOS. Always ASOS. I. I bet this was still my ASOS or Forever 21. Oh.

[Grace O'Malley]

And the question here was, figure it out, but I'm into it. That's what, that's what got me. I knew I had to skim it up next.

[Liza Trager]

That was cool. That was really cool. That was like, within the first year of moving to New York and we were on this show called joking off on MTV2.

[Grace O'Malley]

Is that what got you out of the. The Willy Wonka bed?

[Liza Trager]

No, no, no. And I was still babysitting during this. What got me out of quitting my day job was in the same week I got passed at the Comedy Cellar and I taped my Comedy Central half hour.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, sick.

[Liza Trager]

And then I was like, okay, I'm gonna quit my day job.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And that was it. But no, I had my day job during this. But yeah, it was like a TV show. I can't believe it.

[Grace O'Malley]

What'd you do as a, As a day job?

[Liza Trager]

He. I was a backup nanny. So it was college nannies and tutors, and I did backup child care.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

And I. I was actually really highly requested with this company in Chicago and here, like, kids really did like me. But then if you hated a kid, you wouldn't have to go back.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's good.

[Liza Trager]

And a lot of, like, Columbia University paid for child care, cited a lot of professors. A lot of the hospitals paid for it.

[Grace O'Malley]

A little different than Columbia College, of course.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. Like, cool authors. And then people are rich here. So, like, I got to see Central park apartment.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, wow. Yeah, people were rich here. So you got. You got to dip in and out of different families and just, like, come in like a fairy godmother for, like, a few couples.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. I was like, we're on spring break, but we both work. You have to, you know, like that or like, it's Martin Luther King. There are. This kid's sick or, like, stuff like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

Hell, yeah.

[Liza Trager]

But this my favorite memory of this. Not favorite, but. But it was just wild. And Mato is, like, killing. I don't know. This f. This picture is funny, and I can't. I love how pissed he looks, but we fought a lot. We would be on the road.

[Grace O'Malley]

And you both just put out specials, right?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

And he put out a book, Sweet Angel. But there was one episode, and it was like, Awkwafina. And I forgot the other guy, but it was all games. And they, like, she was, like, in a bad mood. Like, people were in a bad mood. And I remember being like, what a. And then in hindsight, it was the most racist thing of television. Every single joke was, like, an Asian joke. Like, everything. All the, like, photos we made fun of were, like, Asian leaning. Like, everything just changed. This one day when Asian people were there.

[Grace O'Malley]

Holy.

[Liza Trager]

It was crazy. But at the time, I, like, it didn't even occur to me. I was just like, jokes, jokes, jokes. What do we do?

[Grace O'Malley]

And just keep firing as much as you can.

[Liza Trager]

This bad mood. And I didn't get why she wasn't being nice to all of us. And it's because says it was, like, the most racist.

[Grace O'Malley]

Nobody was trying to stop any kind of Asian hate at that show that day. Jesus.

[Liza Trager]

But Jesus and Mira were on there. A lot of, like, people kind of blew up from that. I would say, hell, yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

That look like a fun one. N. That's steo. If I'm not mistaken there.

[Liza Trager]

This is during my clubbing days.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay.

[Liza Trager]

If you could tell by the eyeshadow.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, 1,000% in the tube top, of course.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God. I waited in line to go to a club to meet him. I was, like, obsessed with Jackass and doing stunts and, like, I loved. I love Jackass and Stevo. Wild Boys, all of It. I wanted him. And I got to meet. I got to meet him, kiss him on the cheek. That was huge.

[Grace O'Malley]

That reminds me of the part in 21 Jump street when. When the mom's like. And I used to party with Robert.

[Liza Trager]

Downey Jr. Before he got sober, but then I opened for him when he was sober. And like. Like all of that. I might have showed him this or not, but I brought my. I had a Stevo dvd.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, no shit.

[Liza Trager]

And I did have him sign it.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, that's sick. That's really cool. Yeah, he's a cool dude.

[Liza Trager]

He is cool. And he saves animals. And I do like that.

[Grace O'Malley]

He does.

[Liza Trager]

I do like it. I. I'm so. This is so fun.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, here's the. Here's the caption. Throwback Thursday, Steve O. I was drunk, 19 years old, idiot, sneaking into the club to stalk him, and I got to open for him eight years later, hashtag cheesy, hashtag happy.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, my God.

[Grace O'Malley]

Now this is a doodle.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And. And the caption is, nobody helped me at all. Jk.

[Liza Trager]

Whoop. But okay, so Mateo was with me. I remember we were hanging out. Because he couldn't believe that I posted it. Because he goes, you know, a lot of people, like, work on stuff for a long time to get it perfect. And he goes, you're just one and done in post. And I go, yeah, but he probably did the vibrator or the shoes.

[Grace O'Malley]

The city, maybe that is Elphaba shoe, it seems like.

[Liza Trager]

And maybe I did that one and he did the good one.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, and I think I'm right here. I think you little redhead there it this little Trojan.

[Mateo Lane]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

I have stayed consistent over the years. My likes really haven't switched. I mean, can you imagine? And I thought I was fat. Like, that's what's sad.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's what.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah, that's what I need to tell the youth. Anyone young listening, like, be a dress slutty. It's only going to go downhill unless you truly work so hard. Because I hated myself during this.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's. It's a damn shame.

[Liza Trager]

Damn shame.

[Grace O'Malley]

You're rocking it here and you're rocking it now. You better knock it off.

[Liza Trager]

No, now I have to. You have to be. But I'm also. Now, my new theory is you're allowed to hate your body. Get over it. I can hate my body. Why do I have to love? Get away from me. Let me live my life. But this was Halloween, and I was dressed as Britney Spears.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, perfect. Yeah. Then you got the perfect photograph for that. I'M seeing it now.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

I just needed to be told real quick. Then we've got this.

[Liza Trager]

That was my birthday and my clubbing era. I can't believe we get to see my clubbing era.

[Grace O'Malley]

This is good because I almost didn't believe you.

[Liza Trager]

Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

And I'm seeing these for the first time too. I like to keep it, you know, fresh for me as well.

[Liza Trager]

I'm so glad that the proof is here. Yeah.

[Grace O'Malley]

I mean, you have your shoes completely off.

Now we're at the segment of. You can just look right into the camera and give a shout out to whoever. And you can go on and on and on. And it's just a segment called Shout out.

[Liza Trager]

A shout out segment. Honestly, I had one of the best dental experiences in my life today. I went to a new dentist, Dr. Lauren Becker. Great design. There was a dog. There was a doodle that was gray, black and white.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, wow.

[Liza Trager]

Have you ever seen a gray doodle?

[Mateo Lane]

No.

[Grace O'Malley]

A magic doodle, if you will.

[Liza Trager]

A magic doodle. Art everywhere. The most up to date technology seen on time. Time to chat. Like, I couldn't believe I had such a chic dentist experience.

[Grace O'Malley]

I'm gonna need their number also. Can't believe that's who you chose.

[Liza Trager]

Well. Cause it was fast.

[Grace O'Malley]

It was fast.

[Liza Trager]

But I was gonna do Beyonce. Cause I had so much fun at the concert. And then I was like, well, my best friend, because she's great. And then. And then I was like, should I do like a. Like, you do as many as you want.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's the thing right there.

[Mateo Lane]

Into the camera.

[Grace O'Malley]

How many?

[Liza Trager]

Someone's doing good. I'll say Dolly Parton. Thanks for sending books to children. I wish more people wanted to do acts of service as well. That's what. That's my big thing right now too.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Nepos. Rich people. Why do you have to start a business? Why do you have to get into acting? Why don't you do service? Yeah, you don't need money. Why do you have to be an actor? Like, do service.

[Grace O'Malley]

It's never enough.

[Liza Trager]

If you want attention, you want your name on a school. Like, do it. Like, I don't understand why they can't just feed the poor.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's true.

[Liza Trager]

Like, they have to be a model at 15. Like, I don't get it. But that's not. Not a shout out. Neither or nor there. What do people usually shout out?

[Grace O'Malley]

Don't hurt yourself trying to do this.

[Liza Trager]

I am PBS kids. Arthur. Shout out.

[Grace O'Malley]

They're going away, aren't they?

[Liza Trager]

Yeah. What? I went and bought merch and I forgot and I opened my packages yesterday and I have an Arthur pillow now.

[Grace O'Malley]

Okay. I'm gonna do the same thing trying. I want to keep PBS alive. We have to keep PBS alive. What the are we doing here? This is Crazy.

[Liza Trager]

I can't.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah.

[Liza Trager]

Is it sad? I picked the dentist. Shout out. What other. Shout out. I don't know you. Honestly. Thanks for taking me down.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yeah, of course.

[Liza Trager]

My. My old life.

[Grace O'Malley]

This was. This was. There was a blast.

[Liza Trager]

I'm shocked you didn't pick the photo because I was on an all boys football team and that's in there. I thought maybe someone's getting fired.

[Grace O'Malley]

Well, dude, thank you so much for coming on. And if you wanna.

[Liza Trager]

Oh, and shout out, watch my Netflix special, night Out.

[Grace O'Malley]

That's the part we had on.

[Liza Trager]

Well, you said shout someone out.

[Grace O'Malley]

Oh, no, no. Shout people out. And then you can do my. Okay, do the spiel.

[Liza Trager]

And then I have an SVU podcast where we recap an episode and deep dive into the true crime. That's messed up. An SVU podcast. But yeah, Netflix Night Owl is most important for me for sure. For my career.

[Grace O'Malley]

And congratulations and glitter cheese.
