All replies a 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 to what 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.

So this 1st 1 is the classic will start at the handle at the handle of the way of this old man.

Watch me the whole thing or if you'd like to go.

So all showbiz origin stories are insane in their own right, but especially yours going from a waitress working in Queens, all of a sudden.

Landing parks and recreation.

Funny people in Scott Pilgrim.

First, the world in the same exact week did cycling through jobs in the restaurant industry Do anything to help you prepare for 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.

Try to get as much money as I could.

I was like a game.

I like those kinds of games.

Which pre fame job?

Do you remember more fondly when you were a hostess at Joe's Crab Shack or when you were a cocktail waitress?

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.

Stand your table's ready.

Johnson Party of six.

You still got it.

Thank you.

But every time there were certain songs that would come on that the entire wait staff would have Thio do like a song and dance to like to slide to the left.

Four hops this time that whatever that song is classic that gives me nightmares Now Sauce Bay.

It's on the topic of the new movie when you're growing up and working in the now defunct classic video store in Delaware Avenue.

Did you have an interest in nostalgia in the child's play?

Hell Raiser Freddy Krueger, Golden Agent or not Really?

No, I didn't really have that interest.

I wasn't really like a word.

Um, movie person ever.

I'm 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 where they're gonna say 7 11 which is also true.

It was like, Yeah, I spent a lot of time in that parking lot.

Um, uh, yeah, I believe in ghosts.

My cat was hit by a car and then a couple weeks later, crawled right out of the cemetery, right back onto our back deck.

And you know, When that happens, you just have to let it butter inside and go like cool.

I wonder if this is like your seven fly for your 9th 1 Pepper sauce, baby.

Really, like, not satisfying.

If I had just no reaction to any of these wings, right, But it would also be pretty amazing, you know that.

You do have a nice Well, I don't think anybody has ever sought out for that specific goal, but maybe you could be the first trying to do anything here eating.

I'm just eating whatever you tell me to just do whatever you're talking.

Okay.

Try to keep a straight face as long as you can.

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 legate your iconic character from parks and recreation.

What do you think was the greatest onset 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 classic part friends.

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 now there is a me and without fail, like any time the two of them were in a scene together, they would rip one disgusting, and it would make you 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 in 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.

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 these shit 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 Hoody or the baseball bat that Nick Offerman had made for the whole cast, you have a most treasured Chachi from your time on set.

Yes, I had.

Well, I stole Janet Snake holds 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 aviators, and 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 number four already in straight face all the way through.

So you touched on a little bit today.

You?

What do you think?

It's on my teeth.

That's disgusting.

I'll tell you, I'm sure you have milk.

We have water.

You got a coffee?

Couple sometimes.

Got some coffee e like black coffee with my spices.

It's one of the great mix that it burns so good.

Since we touched on a little bit.

Today you went from relative obscurity, toe almost overnight, starring alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment.

But was anything more intimidating than following Adam Sandler your fourth overtime doing stand up?

No, that was the one of the most fucked up nights of my life.

Um, because capital totally duped me.

He invited me Thio, the comedy Magic club in Hermosa Beach and was, like, Just come with the cast with Joan on Adam And like, you can watch them, we'll just kind of get into it.

And then backstage he came out to me and he was like, You're going on next.

You're following Egg Sandler.

And I was like, Are you fucking 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.

You want, you're gonna die.

And he had 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.

It's not gonna go well from a how to go for you.

You know what?

One great thing when you have nothing to lose, it actually works in your favor because I didn't have any credits of that time.

So when they announced me, they just said, Like, And now we have Aubrey Plaza, uh, from Wilmington, Delaware.

On That was like my announcement.

Just candy and days halfway Mark.

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.

It's all I have kind ticket on my team.

I'm I'm similarly empty inside.

You know, I need this.

You just want you.

You want someone else to feel something that you can feel exactly.

Every river current segment on our show called.

Explain that, Graham.

We do a deep dive under guess Instagram pull interesting pictures that need more contacts.

All bust out the laptop.

Did you get Tasered or what's going on here?

Well, if you know, if you look at the picture closely, you see that woman in the yellow shirt is in mid run action.

Mid action to come and, um uh, escort me off the premises.

His chest is exposed, and the light was just hitting in a certain way.

I just felt like I needed to touch it.

You're only in London in standing in front of a giant Jeff Goldblum statue once in your life, right?

Um so I just felt like it's now or never, baby had to seize that opportunity to get into that as close to the nebulous possible.

Do you have a lasting memory from your summer with Zach out front?

I guess.

Like when I think about that shoot, all I remember is just like I have these, like images of Zach would like a TRX um, like rig on like a palm tree, just like just pumping iron in between takes.

And I just remember, like, standing like often side going like that's a movie star right there.

That's the ship.

I'll never be that.

But I'll be close to up close as I can do.

You have ah, crowning athletic achievement from your time with the pistol shrimps.

How long do we have here.

I man, I went through a lot on that team.

Is it an achievement to terrier A C.

L on the court?

Because that happened to May.

That means that you're pushing it to the limit.

I push it to the limit.

And not only that, I tear my A c l, 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 A c l in half and had to goto the 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.

Yep.

Yeah, we can't.

Be normal, Aubrey.

Just be likable.
