Aubrey Plaza on Being Most the Famous Person From Delaware

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/Y0EpZNThwqhC

Drew: I didn't know how hardcore about Delaware you are.

Aubrey: Yeah.

Drew: You are hardcore. A lot of hometown pride.

Aubrey: Oh yeah. Delaware is number one, first state in the union.

Drew: That's right, and the love is returned because they claim year after year apparently that you are the most famous person of note. The number one, numero uno Delawarean, if you will.

Aubrey: Thank you, I will reign as queen of Delaware forever and unfortunately for Joe Biden, he's lost every time and he even lost to me while he was the sitting vice president, and I still beat him. I beat him every year and it tortures him inside I'm sure it's all he thinks about at night.

Drew: I think there's someone that actually works here that you might have also beat.

Aubrey: Oh yes, I know about this.

Drew: Do you know who it is?

Aubrey: Oh yeah, Val, it's Val. Oh my god is that Grottos?

Valerie: OK, I could have taken this from you 40 years ago.

Aubrey: I've never been so happy.

Drew: I mean, you are now sitting with a, did you say Delawarean? Yeah, and you brought a pizza.

Valerie: This is from your favorite pizza place, which I, so I'm not a very good Delawarean because I don't know this place.

Aubrey: You're gonna eat Grottos. Oh my God.

Drew: I mean, I also got to give it up to Grottos.

Aubrey on Her Christmas Tradition of Dressing Up As a Christmas Witch & Scaring Her Friend's Children

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/VyyumkujFOP2Drew: This is you scaring a child on Christmas.

Aubrey: Yes, yeah, so I do a thing where on Christmas morning I dress up like the Christmas witch, which is my other book series.

Drew: Of course that you've come here to talk about. I, there's not a book about that so far that I'm not a part of. Not that it has anything to do with me. I just love celebrating your literary work.

Aubrey: I basically, I have my friends sign up for slots on Christmas morning if they have kids and I show up when they're opening their presents around 7:30 in the morning and then I try to steal their presents, and so it adds this element of, you know, fright on Christmas morning which kids love.

They always fight back.

Drew Surprises Aubrey with Her Acting Teacher

Drew: Now there was a Delawarean, I believe her name is Cathy, and she saw your potential.

Aubrey: She yeah, she changed my life. She showed me, she taught me all my witchy ways and my acting ways.

Drew: Well, Cathy's here actually.

Aubrey: Oh my God, this is like a Delaware fever dream.

Drew: By the way, it is a Delaware fever dream.

Aubrey: You need the hat now.

Cathy: Oh, I need the hat.

Drew: What was young Aubrey like?

Cathy: First of all, she's a comic master class, the best comedian.

Drew: Seriously, it's so true.

Cathy: I have a chicken suit in my dressing room.

Aubrey: That's OK. So we have this thing where we dress like chickens, but we scare each other.

Drew: Actually I have a video of you. Oh God, oh my God, look at you. You were always meant to do this.

Valerie Bertinelli Dishes on Her New Upcoming Memoir

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/6u7c5MDVBBpWDrew: You are a very open book, pun intended.

Valerie: Pretty much.

Drew: I mean that in the right way because I think when it's too much exhibitionism, it kind of but when it's that right amount I lean in and I think you've got that really good right amount very real, very wise, very giving of your life experiences.

Valerie: I want my life experience to have meant something. And I know when I share it with people and they, like this, this book was really written in the last year and a half and I started almost writing it when I first came to work here and this has been, this place has been, you welcomed me into this home and it felt like such a safe space and I started to then just write and write and write and I went, oh, I'm not healed yet. I've got so much more left to do. And what I went through and the things that I tried. I tried EMDR which was life saving for me for childhood trauma that I went through that I was really, really putting off about talking about and I talk all about it in the book and it has changed my life being here in this really safe space. You are both such blessings to people and to what you see. When you tune into the show and come to the show from these two people is so real and I feel so loved here and this book is hopefully what I've been through, what I can learn from it, and then what I can then give anybody else that may want to learn and make their lives better as well. Share it.
