My throat’s closing up yeah oh God why Why hey what’s going on everybody for first we Feast I’m Sean Evans and you’re watching hot ones it’s the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and at long last we’re joined by my chicken fueled talk show host sister in arms Amilia de molenberg she’s the host of

Chicken shop date for my money the best fried chicken talk show on the internet check out Amilia molenberg YouTube channel to binge the catalog and while you’re there treat yourself to the exceptional and underrated Amelia’s cooking show I know I did but in the meantime the wings of death Amilia de

Molenberg welcome to the show hi hello how you feeling going into this I’m I am feeling great yeah I can feel it no I’m I don’t really consume spice in my life so I’m I’m quite nervous I’d rather be on a first date than here right now that’s for sure Okay Cheers Cheers cool that’s hotter than I thought it would be for the first one not going to lie not going to lie I thought sorry SM every I feel I thought you would it would be less heat than that so that’s Alarming so I remember years ago sorry I forgot that you were going to be asking me questions I literally just forgot that when you just start ask that question I was like what’s happening alarmed by it yeah I know we throw a lot at you here on the show Okay cool so I

Remember years ago shooting a video in a chicken shop with the chicken connoisseur near Tottenham and distinctly remember these hordes of youths outside banging on the Windows begging for a picture I’m curious what’s the most chaotic scene that you’ve experienced or maybe even created doing

A show like chicken shop date in such a unique environment ooh it’s true because everyone’s always queuing up outside to get their chicken from the chicken shop and like uh now we actually have security outside the shop um to sort of stop people from not trying to see me

It’s from trying to get some chicken like that’s l what people are uh are trying to do when they’re trying to get to the chicken shop we’ve had like lots of people banging on um the doors like rattling the outside of it oh with Jennifer Lawrence Paparazzi followed her

Oh to the shop and so there was like photos in the Daily Mail of like Jennifer Lawrence E exiting a chicken shop in edere Road and um which was just crazy to me cuz I grew up like on like one road away from Ed Road and just the

Kind of full circle of like then there being pictures in the Daily Mail of like Jennifer Lawrence leaving a chicken shop um is crazy but yeah it’s it depends what time day is Really blistered is a terrible word isn’t It I’m sorry my hand is shaking it’s so embarrassing happen listen no matter what you’re going through on this show no no matter what happens way crazier has happened here Amelia okay okay yeah I mean I I’ve heard we don’t know what’s going to happen next we’ve already done two I

Like that more by the way than the first one do you ever a tell for when a guest is relaxed and engaged and if so how early can you recognize it ooh good question um I feel like it doesn’t happen at the very beginning I feel like halfway through then the guest

Becomes more relaxed and I feel like after I make them laugh once then I think they become more warm and relaxed at the same time it can go off to a really really good start like I’m asking questions they’re saying really funny things back they’re being really

Engaging and then in the in the middle it will just have this big LOL and then I’ll like bring out a prop and I’ll be like why don’t you play this tiny keyboard or like why don’t you like why don’t you strum on this ukulele or like

I’ve got this random like magnetic um diary that can open with the sound of your voice and I feel like that then gets people in the zone again um so yeah I feel like uh it’s sort of after after the first joke is when I feel like people kind of become at Ease oh okay I like passion fruit underrated fruit nice has it got passion fruit in it like real passion fruit it does is that coming through for you no um maybe it’ll hit me again way better than the first one what’s going on with this first one is that is that

The first one your own one yeah not sure like maybe you should go back to the drawing board a little bit maybe like maybe I don’t know if that one is that great the first one it’s all right okay you can you can you can say

It how it is on this show cool but I see that the fourth one is yours too so right so maybe we can redeem ourselves hopefully your eyes Amilia there we go I really like that that’s really nice got a sweet level to it favorite so far

Favorite so far I think so yeah I know it would be what do you see as the power of stating the obvious or asking simple questions that is everything really I think that’s when I think about it I feel like maybe that’s one of my strengths is is just stating stating the

Obvious saying the thing that everyone’s been thinking you know like you’re bold and you are and it’s amazing and that was when I’m when I’m asking you questions that’s what one of my lines of questioning and it’s like what does it feel like to be B hair yeah

You know that’s what everyone’s thinking an exhilarating experience that not everyone can always feel too so I like to be an ambassador for the lifestyle it’s true so yeah I think that a lot of Comedy comes from um just saying something that um is obvious but then I

Guess the the trick is like it’s obvious to me but that might not be obvious to everyone else and I feel like that’s where um the maybe some of the like special qualities of the interview comes About it’s one of yours so it’s going to be good you know what though if you don’t like it like you didn’t like the first one go ahead and let us have it all right okay H more of like a smokey Barbe mhm I love tomatoes that’s for sure but I can see

In your face you’re lukewarm on the sauce I know you I can see it I don’t know maybe it’s like wait it’s a bit like ketchupy and I do love ketchup is that an insult it’s a cool hot sauce like ketchup I’m so sorry why don’t you

Just State the ABV it’s called how you see it I’m terrible at like food in general like I’m not a foodie I’ve got I I’m really not that adventurous like I’m I’m I’m really bad one of my favorite that’s why do a nuggets and chip show oh

Yeah that’s true one of my favorite episodes is Florence peon because I loved how for every bite she took she like had a recipe recipe from hot sauce and you were like writing notes like I need to do this um yeah so did you ask

Me a question no not yet but I was about to if you’re ready for it yep I’m ready so I’m of the opinion that the red carpet interview is the most intimidating and unnerving assignment that you can possibly get in media and it was a sentiment that was echoed when

I sat down with Alexa Chung she called it everyone’s worst nightmare but it’s clearly a challenge that you’ve embraced how do you even prepare for an environment so chaotic when there are literally hundreds of personalities and potential variables involved shout Alexa Chong by the way the pat of the show

Yeah yeah yeah she’s amazing yeah cuz the her do pop world then inspir this not Inspire this but yeah I know um red carpet interviews yes I love them I really feel I really thrive in that environment of of the challenge of red carp intervie because it’s true it is a

Very challenging environment me and whoever I’m writing with sometimes my sister sometimes another writer will literally go through the list and we’ll think of four or five questions for each celebrity for the Golden Globes there was over a 100 names and so I’ll prep for everyone and then you just hope for

The best to see who comes your way and also where you your position on the carpet is so important um because if you’re sort of not in eyeline of the talent then it can be really difficult to get an interview like when I did the Brits um the Brit Awards sorry sped um

Ed it happens on this show um when I did the Brit Awards Ed Sheron was doing no press and I was in his eyeline on the red carpet so I literally looked at him and I went hi and I just interviewed him and so he came over and his security was

Like no he’s not doing any any press and he was like no I’m going to speak to Amelia so it’s all about getting in the ey line really shout out to Ed yeah shout out to Ed all right Amilia are you ready to move on here to the halfway

Mark yes you are doing great still on your heels this is the uh jablo Power jab okay Power jab okay it’s a step up yeah a better friend would have warned you spicy spicy yeah For Better or Worse that’s how the show’s formatted spicy

Okay um cool I don’t know am I meant to say what it tastes like you don’t there’s no you don’t have to do anything about okay I can’t really tell what it tastes like it’s just it’s intense it is intense though I can see it yep yeah but

You’re doing great okay so in 2021 you launched a series on Channel 4 called celebrity Rebrand where you would would counsel other onair personalities from Anna Richardson to Jimmy Carr on the ways that they could Elevate their career profiles so with that in mind what I want to do is channel Amelia Deen

BG brand Visionary for some existential questions that we’ve been having internally about hot ones for the ways that maybe we can Elevate this brand okay okay so we began for starters fix the sauce get a new sauce we’ve had this black curtain 1980s C access set basically since the

Beginning do you have any ideas for ways that we can modernize or transform the set here ooh you know what I I actually quite like it because the thing with this is it’s so much easier to access than a chicken shop like you you can sort of pop up most places where you

Need a chicken shop I cannot pop up you know I need to get the talent into a chicken shop and that is actually been quite a struggle like throughout the kind of Journey of chicken shop dat so I actually don’t really have any notes on the set um because I think that it’s

Very smart of you we nailed it you nailed it yeah how about wild over-the-top exaggerated out ofc control hand gestures do they have any place in an interview setting I don’t know well maybe if it’s your yeah I mean you think do you think yours are that over the top

You know Jake Gyllenhaal was saying I have too much over he said I have too much upper body no I think it’s good I feel like you know you’re you’re dressed in black you’re in a black set you know you need to like have something going on male hands male hair

Transplants for onair personalities yay or no no no I don’t think so I don’t think so maybe you yeah but I think in General can we sorry can we have a moment I’m like I can’t believe this I’m halfway through I mean but I feel like this is where it gets tough I don’t want to celebrate too soon it’s when the guest start dancing like that is the exact moment that it goes flying off the

Rails Ty oh God I didn’t I shouldn’t have done that no I’m just happy that I I’m just I’m just happy to be here I am you know who would have thought who would have thought not me actually me no I didn’t think we one day we’d meet I

Knew we’d do it eventually okay all right so this is the whiskey smoked ghost here in the six Spot Okay H I like the initial flavor it does grow something going to happen isn’t it something’s going to happen I know I know but you’re on top of it you’re doing good it’s kind of kicking for me right now it is okay yeah but look at you it’s fine you’re holding my hand

Through this whole thing it’s okay mhm I’ve also been kind of I I can’t get it on my lips oh it’s coming there’s another thing now what happening the tongue yeah little time release sometimes on I haven’t actually had any water yet should I do that I’ve noticed that

Should I do that if you need to okay I’ll join you at the Party they all got goat oh no that’s ghost sorry I like this all goat themed this actually is kind of a goat themed lineup though we have like an angry goat Two Goats we have multiple goats on the lineup so prior your work on chicken shop date I know that you fashion

Journalism at Central St Martin’s from Zoolander to double we’s Prada Bruno clueless and Beyond is there a film that you think best sises the world of fashion oo I think davil West pra is one of the greatest films of all time like in like it’s one of my favorite films um like

The that all the actors cast perfectly um that monologue that Merl stre does about C the color of Cerulean is like one of the greatest pieces of art ever in cinema um I think it’s a great depiction of not just of the fashion industry but also just a brilliant film pound for pound

What do you think is the best fit that a guest has gotten off on chicken shop date ooh best outfit okay um that is a really good question koi radical I think came in an amazing outfit like I think it was like a cashmere sweater maybe or

Some kind but he’s so stylish and um he always looks amazing um so he maybe is one of the best dressed I’ve had on the show all right Amelia I see on the board wing wing wing wing wing nugget yeah we have nuggets for de bomb Beyond Insanity okay right

Ready ready how sorry how much what how much you got to eat as much as you eat but I would go small yeah I would go Small this one I don’t think you have to wait around for it’ll oh yeah almost immediate almost immediate okay that is like a weird that’s weird that’s weird it’s horrible my throat’s posing up okay I can put that down yeah put that down it’s just like tingling my tongue is

Tingling and it’s like as I talk more it’s getting worse yeah and it’s not going to stop for the next couple minutes yeah we’re just going to be on this roller coaster just going to yeah good does that work good yeah oo yeah what would you say that someone’s

Chicken shop order says about them M oh too much that helped um what do PE what does someone chicken order say about them yeah like are there any like unforgivable pH well people always say that like nuggets and chips is a faux part but I actually just think that means that you don’t

Care about what people think about you and that you you know you live by your own rules if you’re ordering like wings and chips or whatever maybe you’re just like a bit middle of the road sorry like M like is in I don’t if you have a

If you do a that was my order today yes yes if you do a classic chicken shop order maybe you just like sort of don’t really like to Branch out or you like what you like how you feeling yeah I’m feeling fine I’m feeling fine it’s uh it’s it’s fine here we go

Amilia sweet right and not a walk in the park it’s Sweet at First M and then has some punches on the other side of it yeah but after the bomb it’s like a little you know yeah it’s like hitting that side of my mouth and then that side of my mouth

It’s like yo-yoing between it’s like a tennis match in my mouth of discomfort of discomfort but I’m very impressed with you Amilia with the uh with the affect that you had coming in here I know and then where you are now I know it’s cuz I don’t ever I don’t consume

Spice like I’ll never like like because to me that taste it’s like it’s fine for this circumstance of like me being like okay we can do it but like in terms of like a flavor to consume food yeah it’s like not an interest of mine well maybe

Your preference is down here but your tolerance way up here Amelia yeah maybe sure so sorry so I’m often asked you know what’s your favorite interview of all time that you’ve done and I find it to be like an impossible to answer questions sometimes so I’m not going to go there with you

But I am curious what do you think has been your most important interview which interview do you think had the biggest impact on the growth of your channel and then which interview would you suggest fans check out first if they’re unfamiliar with you okay um there’s been

Like a few that stand out I would say um Jack haro’s interview sorry date um um was definitely a really important one because feel like that was like some people in America’s first taste of chicken shop date and also I feel like it’s quintessential like the perfect date in my eyes because there’s

Like now I’m just going to sound like funny but like I feel like there’s a chemistry there between us um and um he sort of is charming and cheeky in a way that like I really want the guests to be and he’s just so naturally funny and charismatic the Lou through episode as

Well a really important one because he’s a hero of mine and to get him on the show the first time I ever meet him to be on my show to interview my favorite interviewer apart from you um was it was just amazing moment so that was really like important moment for me personally

And then there’s been other ones like um with UK rappers like AJ Tracy and H I’ve sort of caught people at a time before they really really became really big and that is something that I always try and do with the show is like it’s not just about getting like the biggest A-list

Stars on that’s NE never how it was in the beginning it’s about choosing guests Who I Really respect their music um what they what they stand for and people I think that other people should know about so so yeah those those two for that reason as well all right Amelia

Okay cool is this the last one it is I don’t want to leave should we do it again is this the X is the Peppa X you tried the other day yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I should have brought up a pet okay like that yes that’s perfect actually that’s textbook yeah okay

Experience here we go Amelia I do like You it’s cold it it’s a cooling sensation yeah that’s right it catches me too I think at this point it’s pavlovian like ever since I tried that pepper and now when you just pick up a little bit of it I’m taking right back I don’t mind it

That spot with chili cloth look at you I don’t mind It wow cool I mean that is still burning my mouth but like it it’s not nice is it no it’s not not it’s not you know and it does have that kind of delayed reaction to it but you know what here’s the good news Amilia I don’t have a stunt or a

Question here on Wing 10 I just have a moment of appreciation you know I’ve long admired you and your work for so long and I feel this transatlantic Kismet and what we do and uh this has been such a moment that’s so overdue and appreciate the fans who’ve been very

Vocal about peer pressuring us into a room together but just uh the Bizarro Chi fueled interview worlds that we live in and the way that they’ve grown so organically on either side of the pond and then becoming friends with you all along you know it just feels like a

Great moment a bow on the present kind of moment and with that out of the way I have nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you that’s going to make me cry because the wings didn’t make me cry but that might make me cry because

That was that was really such a lovely thing of you to say because I totally agree with everything that you’ve said like it’s been so amazing to see both of our Journeys and how there’s so many similarities to what we do but we have our own lane completely and I don’t know

I’m such a fan of of your interview style and how you’ve made it really your own and how you get my favorite thing to do is get a different side to a guest and that’s exactly what you do you’re so well researched and it’s just really
