Summary

ICYMI, this episode aired in October of 2025. In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredibly talented Grace O'Malley, a top comedian and podcaster on the Unwell Network.

0:00.0	Grace O'Malley. I've always wanted to interview Grace. I feel like everything she went through at Barstool, and
0:05.7	obviously her breakup, her friendship breakup with Brianna Chicken Fry from Barstool Sports. If you follow all of that,
0:12.3	for me, really triggered my time on the Kane show on Hot 995 years ago if you were a radio
0:18.0	listener in the Washington, D.C. area. And the show was syndicated
0:21.0	nationwide on Sirius XM and beyond. But anyhow, everybody famously knows I left the show.
0:26.8	And no one on the show spoke to me after that, actually. Sadly, Kane passed away almost five
0:31.5	years ago. So it was just, it was a whole messy thing. It was very public. And back in 2013,
0:39.2	we were the number one morning show, much like Grace and Brianna Chicken Fry did, you know, were number one at Barstool with their
0:44.6	podcast. So Brace O'Malley, now with the Unwell Network, joins the podcast today. And I just

1:12.1	with Grace for a while. He's actually come out over the weekend. He's got a new album and he
1:17.1	absolutely trashes Brianna Chicken Fry in it with several lyrics. So the album, of course, was out
1:23.6	and it's heaven on top. And there's some crazy lyrics that apparently are all geared to her
1:30.1	elsewhere in his new song he talks about in one of his song's skin you know Zach goes on to say
1:37.3	do you still talk shit on all of your friends this is about Brianna need to take it all to the chin
1:42.9	this time stone cold sober the sober? The Grammy winner,
1:46.7	who boasted two months of sobriety in November of this year, seemingly referenced the former
1:51.3	couple's 2023 meet cute in Queens after a concert in plastic cigarettes. You were collecting
