hour
yeah
you dirty dirty man
[Music]
hey what's going on everybody from first
we feast i'm shawn evans and you're
watching hot ones it's the show with hot
questions and even hotter wings and
today we're joined by aubry plaza you
know from standout roles and films like
ingrid goes west scott pilgrim vs the
world shows like parks and recreation
and many more you can catch her in fx's
legion which returns for its third
season on july 1st and she's very busy
she also stars in child's play which is
set to theaters this weekend aubry plaza
welcome to the show thank you so much
for having me you once told buzzfeed
that your favorite pizza topping is hot
and spicy peppers do you crank your
wings too i what
no i said don't believe everything you
read right i've never talked to buzzfeed
a day in my life i don't even know who
that is
[Music]
so this first one is the classic and
we'll start at the handle at the handle
of the wing
of this whole thing okay
do you want me to watch me eat the whole
thing or if you'd like to um
so all showbiz origin stories are insane
in their own right but especially yours
going from a waitress working in queens
to all of a sudden landing parks and
recreation funny people and scott
pilgrim vs the world in the same exact
week
did cycling through jobs in the
restaurant industry do anything to help
you prepare for a career in hollywood or
is it just a way to pay the bills while
you sought out auditions
it was kind of both like
every table was like a new performance
an opportunity for performance you know
i didn't have to like be myself
i could be whoever i wanted to be i'm
gonna try to get as much money as i
could it was like a game
um i like those kinds of games which
pre-famed job do you remember more
fondly when you were a hostess at joe's
crab shack or when you were a cocktail
waitress who told you that alley
who are you
i was a hostess so i was in charge of
announcing like the parties when they
were ready so i was on like the loud
speaker going like johnson party of six
do the crab walk all the way to the host
stan your table's ready johnson party is
six
you still got it thank you
but every time there were certain songs
that would come on that the entire white
staff would have to um
do like a song and dance too like two
slides to the left
four hops this time that whatever that
song is classic classic gives me
nightmares now
sauce bay
so on the topic of the new movie when
you're growing up and working in the now
defunct classic video store on delaware
avenue did you have an interest or
nostalgia in the child's play hellraiser
freddy krueger golden age and horror not
really now i didn't really have that
interest i wasn't really like a horror
um
movie person ever i'm just still not do
you believe in ghosts or if you had any
sort of spooky paranormal encounter i
know that you grew up next to a cemetery
i thought you're going to say 7-eleven
um which is also true
um i was like yeah i spent a lot of time
in that parking lot um
uh yeah i believe in ghosts my cat uh
was hit by a car and then a couple weeks
later crawled right out of the cemetery
right back onto our back deck
and um you know when that happens you
just have to let it letter inside and go
like cool i wonder if this is like your
seventh life or
your ninth one
[Music]
hot pepper sauce
it'd be really like
not satisfying if i had just no reaction
to any of these
wings right but it would also be pretty
amazing oh i know that you do have an
amazing poker face
well i don't think anybody has ever
sought out for that specific goal but
maybe you could be the first one trying
to do anything here i'm just eating i'm
just eating whatever you tell me to i
just do whatever you tell me okay
try to keep a straight face as long as
you can okay okay
so the fans would give us a red card and
kick us off the internet if we didn't
take a wing to discuss april luggate
your iconic character from parks and
recreation okay what do you think was
the greatest on-set prank of all time
whether it was one of yours or someone
else's i don't know if you would call it
a prank but nick offerman and chris
pratt would like fart a lot the classic
fart prank it's just like i don't
sometimes farts are funny
i don't know i guess they are i just
don't think they're that funny and
neither does amy and without fail like
any time the two of them were in a scene
together they would like part city rip
one disgusting right and it would make
us so angry um
and i would say like the best prank that
i ever did was
i bought a toilet goblin online
and i put it in adam scott's toilet and
his trailer if you don't know what a
toilet goblin is
it's like a little like creature that
its arms have like suction cups so you
like put it in the toilet and you
suction cup its arms to the lid so that
when you open the lid it like jumps out
at you it's terrifying and then in her
book yes please amy poehler said that
chris pratt had the greatest audition
that she's ever witnessed have you ever
had a chance to see the tape i feel like
they should maybe showed that at the
reunion but i think i wasn't paying
attention
i don't remember
but i'm sure it was good and then
there's so many coveted pieces of parks
and rec memorabilia whether it's
leslie's pawnee goddess hoodie or the
baseball bats that nick offerman had
made for the whole cast do you have a
most treasured tchotchke from your time
on set yes i had well i stole um janet
snakehole's like cigarette holder
um so i have that i keep that in my
backpack at all times in case i need it
oh i have andy dwyer's um aviators and
um i don't take care of them at all
they're just like flung in a drawer in
my kitchen i could probably sell those
someday if things don't go
well for me which they won't
[Music]
number four already and straight face
all the way through
so as you touch on a little bit today i
do feel like it's all on my teeth though
that's disgusting i'll tell you what to
drink sure do you have milk we have
water
you got a coffee cup full of something
i'm just gonna have some coffee
i like black coffee with my spices
it's uh it's one of the great mixes yeah
it burns so good
so as we touched on a little bit today
you went from relative obscurity to
almost overnight starring alongside some
of the biggest names in entertainment
but was anything more intimidating than
following adam sandler your fourth ever
time doing stand up no that was the one
of the most [ __ ] up nights of my life
um because judd abital totally duped me
he invited me to the comedy and magic
club in hermosa beach and was like just
come with the cast with jonah and adam
and like you can watch them we'll just
kind of get into it and then backstage
he came up to me and he was like you're
going on next you're following sandler
and i was like are you [ __ ] kidding
me and uh and then adam came up to me
and was like you're gonna die out there
that's exactly what he said he went
you're gonna die
and he hadn't done stand up in like
years at that point so the audience gave
him a standing ovation when they just
announced his name he hadn't even said
anything yet and i was sitting behind
the curtain going this is not going to
go well for me how'd it go for you
you know what it went great i think when
you have nothing to lose it actually
works in your favor because i didn't
have any credits at that time so when
they announced me they just said like
and now we have aubrey plaza uh
from wilmington delaware and that was
like my announcement
los calientes the halfway mark here okay
i have a little bit of stuff coming on
my nose does that make you feel good it
does you get pleasure out of this right
yeah yeah that's all i have
can i take it on my teeth i'm i'm i'm
similarly empty inside you know i need
this
you just want you want you want someone
else to feel something so you can feel
it exactly uh we have a recurring
segment on our show called explain that
grammar we do a deep dive on our guest
instagram pull interesting pictures that
need more context so i'll bust out the
laptop i'll show you the picture youtube
from my instagram yep all right
you just taught me the bigger story does
that sound good which one which account
is it
my public one well i can't get into your
private one good
all right here you are hugging the jeff
goldblum jurassic park statue where is
security did you get tasered or what's
going on here well if you if you look at
the picture closely you see that woman
in the yellow shirt is um in mid uh
action mid action to come and um
uh escort me off the premises
his chest is exposed and
the light was just hitting it a certain
way i just felt like i needed to touch
it you're only in london been standing
in front of a giant jeff goldblum statue
once in your life right um so i just
felt like it's now we're never baby i
had to seize that opportunity gotta get
into that as close to the nipple as
possible
do you have a lasting memory from your
summer with zac efron i guess like when
i think about that shoot all i remember
is just like i have these like images of
zack with like a trx um like rig on like
a palm tree just like pumpkin pump just
pumping iron in between takes and i just
remember like standing like off the side
going like that's a movie star
right there that's the [ __ ]
i'll never be that but i'll be close to
it as close as i can
do you have a crowning athletic
achievement from your time with the
pistol shrimps how long do we have i'm
here i'm here i man i went through a lot
on that team
is it an achievement to tear your acl on
the court because that happened to me
that means that you're pushing it to the
limit i push it to the limit and not
only did i tear my acl but i was in full
disguise i was wearing a wig and goggles
and playing under a different name
because legally i was not allowed to
play on that team at the time
so i was in disguise and the joke ended
up being on me because i ripped my acl
in half and had to go to a hospital
one more for you
grumpy cat how could you bring grumpy
cat up right now at a time like this
because it's important that we don't
forget grumpy cat yeah we can't cause
grumpy cat died
a week ago i'm still grieving
and you know what's messed up about that
is
i had written a movie for grumpy cat and
i to star in
and um
now what am i gonna do
without the cat
all right well i'm sorry r.i.p i'm sorry
hellfire
sounds cute
[Music]
taste no evil
that's hot
okay you got me
you're waiting for that right yeah okay
there it is
got it
so some of the best talk show guests are
the ones that you can almost see in real
time navigating the artifice of it all
and then
sorry what was the question
how has your relationship with the
interview talk show format evolved over
the years
you know i just do the best i can i tell
myself before every interview
be normal aubrey just be likable
get in there show them what you got and
get out
and somehow it just always goes south i
don't know why maybe it's the lights
[Music]
or
just some kind of like deep seated
psychological um
trauma
[Music]
hmm
are these organic
grass-fed
pasture-raised all that hmm that's good
you know what farm they came from
uh well sure i'll find out later the
chili farm
you ain't gonna take me down little
chickies
i eat all you
is it true that sometimes like spices
can make you hallucinate yeah it's they
can be trippy sweet why are you starting
to feel something no i just see some
weird [ __ ]
i might not be because of this
so whether it's the media or fans
sometimes like if you're in hollywood
and you have a reputation for being a
jerk maybe people tiptoe around you or
if you have a reputation for being an
overshare maybe people step over those
boundaries the second that they meet you
what are the professional and personal
liabilities of being somebody who's
labeled sarcastic or awkward because of
some of your most popular characters
people can you use words that are easy
because i have this talk show where i
interview oh god that copy's not helping
it's interesting oh god that made it
worse
would it we're coming in with an
emergency
sometimes you can just point and get a
new and get it oh because i like this
one
you know like sometimes because i have
this show or interview celebrities while
you'd increasingly spicy chicken wings
people just come up to me and be like
hey sean this new hot sauce it's called
satan's blood it's the hottest hot sauce
ever you have to try it out you know
because like when and i understand and
you're like i just want to do a daytime
show right can i just talk about the
kardashians for once exactly but i
understand why people think that but
then it is kind of missing the point oh
god i don't know sean i just think the
thing is
like
i just feel like um
nobody gives me a chance
you know
people think that i
uh
that i don't care or um
that i can just that i can only be
sarcastic or only play like you know a
deadpan character or something um
but it's just not true i play young mom
and child's play
um you can see my maternal instincts on
the big screen on june 21st
in theaters near you
and um
if you really go through my
filmography you'll see you know many
different characters with all different
kinds of flavors
um los calientes
i would say that would be like a the
dirty grandpa version of me
shaquandas would be like the mike and
dave
character
what would the uh wilshire chili farm
that we just ate beef i'd go with anger
goes west for that one just because
there's like a los angeles theme there
have you ever had anyone name their
movies based on the hot sauces no but
that would be amazing
[Music]
[Applause]
all right we're back okay
that was a big one
well if you think that was a big one
does that look cool you look awesome
sweet
does everyone always make it to the end
i've never seen this i've only know
about it from my inbox right from the
emails i get asking me to go on which
you've been able to swerve effectively
i've avoided it until now but you
trapped me this time right so we've been
doing this forever and never enough i
just don't know if child's play will be
my last movie so i figured get it in
while i can oh we really appreciate that
but
we've been doing this for so long but
shockingly like fewer than 15 people
have ever tapped out sorry what
whoa
i just want to get a preview first
god that went straight
into my lower intestine
okay
it's like anywhere where i turn it's bad
there's no hiding uh-uh
that burns just being near it
you dirty dirty man
you little trickster
i see what you're doing with that one
but i'm not afraid
salute oh aubry plaza going in you're
not a puerto rican right i know
if i if i wasn't on camera i'd eat these
down to the bone with my fingers nothing
stops what you do on my family nothing's
stopping you that's right baby
just get a little skin there
so it's not every day that we have the
most famous person from delaware sitting
across the seat from us and that is an
official
that is an official distinction are they
talking about biden last year you topped
a delaware online poll edging out the
likes of my god
valerie bertinelli and joe biden
yeah and the guy that created the
heimlich remover was his name walter i
think walter you even topped out walter
walter heimlich have you ever been
punkin chunkin
no i haven't and i c and i'm
[ __ ]
[ __ ] you
and [ __ ] you and [ __ ] you all

where do you fall on the debate that
north delaware and south delaware should
be separated into different states

[Music]
okay
now
what is scrapple
meat

how is the horse racing scene in
delaware how does it compare to say like
england's the royal ascot oh no no
i don't care anymore
are you talking about point to point
yeah it's [ __ ] up
and then delaware seems to be a place
with a fair number of ice cream bucket
list destinations whether it's woodside
farm creamery or that 20 scoop ice cream
challenge at the charcoal pit
which one sounds best right now
um a chocolate
i like chocolate

i will
you better stop playing the saxophone
[ __ ]
i heard that too i heard that too
all right
[ __ ] hell
god damn it what do you think is
delaware's greatest gift to the american
culinary canon is it that grotto pizza
or that thanksgiving on a roll sandwich
from capriati's oh [ __ ] it's the [ __ ]
bobby sandwich
all the way i mean grotto's is good but
kratos is greasy i mean grotto's was
like man if you hate yourself you go in
but like it tastes good

every like hole
i think we've gone i think we've gone
this far might as well give it a shot i
just don't know how i could do it
without like ruining my
ruining my reputation
can't see anymore ow
this is the last dab we call it the last
dab because it's tradition around here
to put a little extra on the last wing
ow you don't have to if you don't want
to i know you're going through it ow
how did this get in my eye
can i have a new napkin yeah napkin duty
napkin is this
psychological i think it is on some
level okay

happy place we are eating some of the
hottest scorching hot chicken wings in
the history of existence no no the happy
place um
grumpy cat and
improv and

finish line the end and just one more
obstacle to go you have one of the great
poker faces in hollywood but i've heard
you say that sometimes in order not to
break you'll go into actual physical
pain pinching yourself until you bleed
yeah that's so weird
so here
so i'm going to show you a series of
pictures and all you have to do is not
break okay
excuse me
[Music]
i knew we were gonna end this on an
awkward note
it's my classic um

you though 10 chicken wings up 10
chicken wings down we ran into a wall
here in the back half but you rallied
through

have a movie coming out oh child's play
