entertainer out of the
Boston and New England areas of America. And I got to see her backstage the
other night
when she was performing stand-up here in Nashville, Tennessee. She got her
start with Barstool Sports,
and I've been a fan, and I'm looking forward to get to learn more about her.
Today's guest is Miss Grace
O'Malley.
I've got three youngest sisters, but I'm the Milkman's because I'm a redhead.
You're the Milkman?
I'm the Milkman's.
Oh, the Milkman's kid.
Yeah, my mom's a whore.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, damn. I wish, I wish, huh?
Oh, it's good. Yeah, thanks.
I wish my mom would have gotten laid more, I think.
Yeah?
Oh, yeah. I think she was, I don't know if she was making love to maybe this
auto mechanic
one time. I don't know. He would always come around and look around at us.
Look at this. A lot of undercarriage.
Yeah, I think, yeah. He was just, I don't know what he was doing. He might not
even have
been a mechanic. I mean, it was in our town. It was like, if you were greasy
enough and
kind of, you know, people would do mechanicing in their yard, you know, type of
thing where
like, come drop the car off in my house. And people would do a lot of like, at
home mechanicing
type stuff.
Like tag, you're it. You've got the car now?
Oh, no. Just like, it was like, uh, like people didn't have to have a real shop
to be
a mechanic.
Oh, gotcha. All right. Cool. Cool.
You know, so people could just do it at home.
Oh, I'd never come empty handed to anything, but I've been in limbo all day. So
this is the
best I could do. I heard you're on again, off again, quitting.
Damn, you brought me this air bar.
I heard sometimes you quit and sometimes you're not, but mostly you try to quit.
So I feel
like an ass, but no, it's nice of you. Very sweet of you. This is very, um,
yeah, it's
almost like the first Thanksgiving or whatever, you know, whenever they did
that. Yeah. So
that's very nice. Yeah. And I've actually been doing good about quitting. I
think the tough
part is, uh, the, the worst thing about quitting is that you have to every day
you're like, I'm
going to quit and then you don't, and then you, you, you set yourself up for
failure.
Yeah. It's a, it's a commitment that I just, uh, I don't have the willpower to
do.
Yeah. Have you tried it or no? I was supposed to start dry January yesterday
and I just did
it. Yeah. I couldn't, I didn't have the willpower. Yeah. I wanted to stop this
going on. So we're
going to try again today. You got it. Yeah. It's another day. Yeah. Yeah. That's
the thing.
January is a lot of pressure. You know, it's a lot of pressure at the beginning
of the year
to get it all right. Yeah. But for what though? Like we're just new all of a
sudden, we're
just going to flip it off. Well, I think that's kind of the goal. I think that's
the goal.
It just feels kind of tough, you know? Yeah. Um, it's a lot of pressure. It is
a lot of
pressure, dude. God, being alive is just damn, it's a lot sometimes, you know,
it just feels
like a lot. Um, Grace O'Malley, thanks for coming in today. Thanks for having
me. I'm super
pumped. I, uh, I tried to play it really cool the other day, but I am a very
big fan. Oh,
thanks. Very big fan. This is very sick. Yeah. I'm, I'm a big fan of yours too.
You always
just seem like a, just like such a human. I mean, why not? Yeah. Like I don't
know what's
wrong with half of these people. Everyone's kind of out of control. I think,
well, I think
if people get into like the spotlight or get like popularity, popularity, ego,
all that
stuff is super dangerous, you know? Yeah. And you don't realize it sometimes
like you can
be getting infected by it or that like, um, or suddenly you'll try to super
manage how
you're perceived, which some of that's normal because you want to protect
yourself. But,
um, I think all of that's just, it's scary. Yeah. I mean, like you just gotta,
you gotta
say, you gotta be yourself. Yeah. That's what it is. You just gotta be yourself.
But if
yourself is an asshole, then maybe you should change. Yeah. If yourself is an
asshole, bro.
Yeah. Cause they got people out there now that are not even gay, that are being
gay. They
have, um, all types of people like fake native Americans. Like every week they're
busting
like one of these politicians for saying they were Honduran or something, you
know, just a
lot of bullshit. I know. Um, I wish I had the 23 and me to claim one of those
things. Cause
I feel like if you can claim it, you can say it. Yeah. There's a lot of words.
I can't
say that I would love to claim to be able to say, you know what I mean? Yeah. I'm
trying
to think if you seem like, uh, cause what are you? You are, um, I am a Mick. So,
um,
I'm Irish. You're Irish. Like pretty, pretty inbreded. Yeah. Okay. Nope. No, no.
Yeah.
No judgment for me here. I, um, yeah, I think, yeah, Irish or some people are
really fucking
Irish. Have you seen that video of that baby? He's like breastfeeding and he
orders another
tit or whatever. Oh my God. No, I haven't seen that, but that's classic. It's
the most Irish
shit. Pretty much the way I was around for everybody in the room or something.
It's some
they're breastfeeding it like a family thing or whatever, like a birthday or
whatever. One
of my worst jokes I ever wrote was, um, like one of my first ones was that I'm
so Irish
that I was breastfed Guinness. Yeah. Stupid. Yeah. It is what it is. Yeah. It's
a rough one.
Kind of, I've told some rough. Oh, uh, Oh my, one of my first jokes was like,
Oh, I need
a job, a blow job. That's classic though. Come on. It was pretty bad. Thanks.
At least
we have each other. Right. It was pretty bad. Um, so yeah, I stopped by the
comedy club the
other night and you were doing standup. How long, so how long have you been
doing standup
just so, cause some of my audience won't know you. So, um, you're a podcaster
and a comedian.
Yes. Yeah. Okay. And how long have you been doing standup? I, so I moved to New
York in
2020. I was doing it like here and there on like the streets. Cause you had to
do it like
outside at the time. And I was, cause of COVID. Cause of COVID. Yeah. Yeah. And
so I did
like on and off here and there, but started taking it serious around January of
this last
year. Okay. Of 2024. 2024. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And so what did that mean taking
it serious?
Like just getting up more, like getting into like the circuits or what? Yeah.
It's like
an oxymoron saying taking it serious cause it's comedy, but, um, just like
going up as much
as I could like networking, I guess, and putting myself out there kind of thing.
So I've been
going up as much as I could. And, uh, Whitney Cummings ended up taking me on
the road with
her. Oh, Whitney took the road with her. My apologies. Whitney did? Yeah. She
did. Oh yeah.
That's awesome. It was sick. Yeah. So she put the fire under my ass. Um, she
came on, I
used, I used to have a podcast. It's no longer, but, um, she came on as a guest
and she was like,
I fuck with you. You're like, you should, you should open for me. And I'm like,
you don't
want it. You don't want, you don't want that. And she was like, no, just, just
do it. Just
say yes. And, uh, it'll, it'll all follow. So she put the fire under my ass. I
just grinded.
Wow. And so you were just now, was it like you were overnight suddenly on stage
having to
do a lot of time or no? Um, so she, she gave me 15, which turned into 20 and,
uh, she just
kept out, I guess I was doing something right. Cause she kept adding me to more
cities.
So I was like, all right, so I guess I'm doing pretty good. Yeah. That was
nice. I, uh, so you're from originally from where at I'm from Boston, but like
outside of Boston. Okay. Yeah. And do people from outside of Boston look
differently at people than inside of Boston? Um, Oh, culturally, probably there
was, um,
there was this thing in the seventies called busing where they brought, um,
African
American children into the city and, uh, for schooling and for schooling. Yeah.
So,
so, uh, I, some people didn't like that. So those people, they left and that is
unfortunately
where I come from. That's just, oh, that's your family. Yeah. You were birthed
out of those
people. Yeah. Those were those guys. People make their choices, you know? Um,
they have,
yeah, they have, yeah. Cause Boston's interesting. They got a lot of racism up
there, you know?
Yeah. But it's, you know, uh, it's not as, um, loud as it is down here. So it's,
uh,
the South that's more, the South has more of that kind of slave magic history.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We, we just have, uh, just little innuendos of bad history and bad, uh, bad
things we did,
I guess. Yeah. It's still up there though, for sure. Yeah. It depends on what
side you're on,
but yeah. You should just meet my dad. Yeah. You'll see it there. Is he a fireman
or no?
Uh, no, he wanted to be a police officer, ended up being an electrician, but he
fucked that up too.
What? Doing electricity? Uh, yeah. He, uh, he got electrocuted. Oh, he did?
Yeah. On the job.
And, uh, he said he saw God. He started, he started to be a believer and, uh,
Tyler Childers
walked him into heaven. Tyler Childers? Yes. Childers. Yes. The musician? The
musician walked him into the
pearly gates. So that's my father. You almost got to believe him. Yeah. Well, I
mean, yeah.
You know what I mean? That's like, that guy's still alive. So I don't know. I
don't know what
that illusion was with him. I'm not really sure. Yeah. Why would a guy who's
not even dead come
and help you? That's nice of him. Yeah. It's really sweet, but that makes me, I
was like,
oh, that's pretend. Yeah. That's when it got a little fictional. Yeah. Like you
were having a bad
dream and then you woke up and you were blasted. Yeah. Yeah. Being electrocuted,
it's kind of
under, it's not a, it's a, it doesn't get as much credit as it deserves. Really.
I got, got once,
by, um, electricity. A little fork in the outlet action? Uh, no. When I was at
a fair or something,
uh, I was, we used to go to the carnival down the street from our home or
whatever. And they had,
they would let you ride the rides the day before the fair opened up. Oh, little
test monkeys.
Yeah. Nice. So we're out there and, um, and we're doing it or whatever. And
they were just like
plugging shit in and whatever and ever, you know, and I would try to get off
one of the rides and I
like grabbed two different railings and I think I connected some circuit or
whatever. And so I was
just like dish. Oh shit. Did your friends see a skeleton like the cartoons? No,
uh, I don't know.
My friends, they kind of ran off to like, oh, something's, you know, this isn't,
we don't want
to be involved. He's going to be a superhero. Yeah. This guy's not doing good.
We don't want to be
involved in it. And some guy called me, I think, or whatever and kicked me in
the back.
And I was like, okay, he saved my life, but he still called me a ****. So it
was like, well,
you know, but that would, that's what you get kind of around the carnival. But,
um,
that time. And then I was walking behind a food truck that was serving crab
meat or whatever,
which I don't trust. That sounds really wrong too. Oh, it's yeah. I don't trust
crab meat.
That's that close to like a gas tank. I think, you know? Yeah, no, that's fair.
I think, uh,
I think crab meat should be fresh from the ocean. Yeah. Like right
