[@zoe-janesutherland4359]

The chemistry between Conan and Aubrey is pure gold. This is how you interview Aubrey Plaza, you have to roll with the awkwardness and try not to control the conversation. Just go with the flow.

[@thesprawl2361]

Is she actually that interesting? I keep watching her in interviews and every time there's this awkward atmosphere that people interpret as her being mysterious and enigmatic. But it could just be that she's not that interesting. Either that or she's just intensely private and doesn't want to let in anyone but those closest to her. I'm leaning more in that direction but at the same time I've yet to see her say or do anything interesting outside of her acting performances.

[@jgbgw591]

@@thesprawl2361 thank you!!! I can totally understand being shy or private but then why bother going on a podcast??? This was boring and weird.

[@juholaitakari1305]

What makes her interesting is that she has absolutely no filter and zero social awareness while staying cool at the same time. Ot’s like with Bill Burr what you Serbia what you get.

[@KhoPhi]

@@thesprawl2361 everything you just described about her, is EXACTLY why some of us find her "interesting" She's interestingly weird and weirdly interesting at the same time.

[@HigherPlanes]

That's a general guideline to deal with all awkward people. I feel like awkward people have a lot to offer to the world if they could just relax.

[@bernlin2000]

Sona had to be banished for this interview: two Lipstick Witches in the same room is too much power at once 😂

HaHA! Is that a reference to something? Wow, that phrase just made me laugh but I have no idea what it means.

@@The-Secret-Door it’s a reference to an Andy Richter line from one of the scraps way back when

@@AkiroKiro Well, look up "lipstick lesbian"; and replace lesbian with witch and I think you'll get the joke. It may be a bit offensive, but the gist is a lipstick lesbian is cute and pretty as opposed to other lesbians...

Aubrey should totally start a show where she plays a different character every time she visits a therapist.

no this is genius

[@Snariasdqwada]

This is not a bad pitch at all.

[@cameronmccollough98]

Oh my God this should be a HBO show that would be so amazing it could be 30 to 40 minutes in episode oh God that would be awesome. Donald Glover AKA Childish Gambino should be in it after Atlanta is done.

CONAN CAN'T STOP

[@MichaelJames-mg3xx]

He's been here

[@jeremysiron9622]

I would say he has the strongest career out of any of the former or current late night talk show hosts at this point, the way media has played out has totally favored him because he has the best interviewing style for like a podcast type thing or a long interview, and he’s funnier now than ever

[@jeremysiron9622]

I still like your comment though but yeah he has been here

[@theplourde]

When Aubrey occasionally stares into the camera past Conan, I feel it

[@-ZED1]

Aubrey: I feel like my boundaries have been pummeled & I'm not gonna stand for it anymore. Conan: Well you shouldn't & that'll be $900. Aubrey: Okay 🙃 😂

[@mypal1990]

Conan turning a therapy session into a low key ASMR podcast. Only Conan can pull that off.

[@carpediemearth]

God I love Aubrey and Conan's chemistry. Several others have done well with her but I think no one in the hosting field has had the level of mutual comedic and personal understanding with her that Conan does. The video clips cut off some lines and reactions, the whole podcast was really good. They play off each other so well in general over the years that I think their dynamic is one for the books.

[@JC-bf9zm]

Conan is such an incredible improv comedian. That must be the reason his remotes are so god**** funny, in my humble opinion.

[@adamcoe]

[@niunamenos3123]

I know right? Conan cracked enough jokes to keep the podcast light (and credit to Aubrey, this episode is hilarious and they have great chemistry). But you could tell that Aubrey is working through some stuff

[@classictalkies]

For sure. I hope she is able to get what she needs and deserves.

[@buffnipz]

[@user-yz5mn2go2d]

I demand an episode where it's Conan, Aubrey Plaza, Jeff Goldblum, and Jordan Schlansky all together. But I guess their chaotic, weird unified presence would tear open a interdimensional rift and be too much for our mortal minds to handle.

[@weirdbunnydotcom]

Conan became Tobias Funke from arrested development.

[@TheRagingBlizzard]

In watching this, I now realize that Aubrey never had to act one day on the set of Parks and Rec

[@chrishei3111]

The other one with the "I have to audition to play me? oh no I hope i get the part/s " was HILARIOUS, JUST APRIL

[@carpediemearth]

She's literally nothing like April in real life 😂 Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt both said that. Her breaking character in the Parks and Rec bloopers alone shows you that, as do videos where she's not doing dry humored-comedic bits. Watch her on Conan's podcast. Even in funny videos like her Hot Ones episode and the Vanity Fair lie detector test where's she's having fun with a friend, it's obvious she's not like April. Aubrey helped create April and her role in the story, and she based much of the character's personality on her younger sister. Here's what Chris Pratt said years ago in a panel with Amy: "Aubrey's 'on' a lot of the time. She's like Andy Kaufman or something. She would meet the president and take it as an opportunity to do a bit. For the lucky few people who get a chance to know her, she's totally different than April ... she's very caring and sweet, and a good listener, and would be there for her friends in a heartbeat." And Amy Poehler replied "Yes, hear hear."

[@BS-nt9oc]

I love this show.

[@lav7161]

From my point of view I feel it would be very draining being Aubrey. She has this personality that relies on her having this certain demeanor 24/7. I feel that she is letting her guard down here and was somewhat opening up and crying for help.

[@darganstanton]

We can't really know, but I was getting that vibe as well. Especially when they were talking about how she had a persona of being intimidating. It really seemed like she didn't want to play that part all the time, and maybe she's not totally like that. She might be a sweet and vulnerable person like many people are.

[@TheGIJew.]

yeah she was definitely being serious when she talked about being triggered by Conan's imaginary cannoli. You sound like a redditor right now

[@bzipoli]

she was clearly trying to say "this is a façade" but couldn't. and she shouldn't say it on air tbh, it's too much vulnerability to be displayed to a grander audience. is something she can tell him privately or say to a therapist

[@ExclusiveLM]

I once went to a therapist and he put me in deep hypnosis. That's when he convinced me to give all my worldly processions to Aubrey Plaza and spend the rest of my life praying to a statue of weatherman Al Roker. It's safe to say that the phrase "What's Happening In Your Neck Of The Wood" has a completely different meaning to me.

[@ochozincko9195]

[@leodegas7731]

I don't know any of these people, just the little i see on KZbin, but it seemed Aubrey was jokingly serious and Conan made jokes to make sure it didn't get serious about therapy. Missed opportunity to lead/guide/help a younger person in the business. I think?🤔 I'm 60 and I'm always looking to improve my mental health, so I think I get Aubrey. Edit: quick memory note. I remember watching Craig Ferguson quickly changing direction when it seemed a young guest was seeking advice in a haphazard way. They turned into to some awesome tv and interviews in my opinion.
