Nick Offerman on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with NO Nick Offerman

The Hang, in Short

Amy sits down with Nick Offerman, her Parks and Rec brother and fellow Ron Swanson mourner. But first, Aubrey Plaza zooms in from backstage to deliver the goods. Turns out she, Nick, and Jason Schwartzman share a June 26 birthday and maintain a sacred medieval text chain. Sample message: Nick once sent them "a massive load of my wholesome earth sign love" which Aubrey absolutely read as urine at first. She also recalls Nick's dad energy on set, especially the time he told her she could walk ten feet and pour her own damn coffee instead of waiting for a PA. The vibe? Peak earth sign behavior. They get into ghosts, Parks nostalgia, Nick's new book Little Woodchucks, and whether Aubrey thinks he can actually build anything or if it's all an elaborate lie.
