AMELIA DIMOLDENBERG Talks Chicken, Flirting, and UK Rap

Let's talk about chicken. Yes. So what is a chicken? What would you say is
chicken? Okay to me?
Pretend I'm an alien, and I'm like what do you do? You say I'm a chicken dater.
Would you know what a bird is?
Mmm. Oh, yeah, bird. Yeah, I know a bird. I know a bird. Okay, it's a bird.
Does it fly?
It flies around? No, it actually can't fly.
Really? I know. Really? I know it's really tragic. That's pathetic. I know.
Adam Friedland show, oh my Adam Friedland show, oh my Adam Friedland show, oh
my Adam Friedland show, oh my today.

Hi.
Okay. Another flash.
Another flash, Phil.
This is my serious job where I do make-believe, play, play, pretend.

And also, merch.
New merch. We got hoodies.
Very popular Adam Friedland show hats are available now.
Thomas, Phil, you want one? I never gave you one.
You don't wear hats, though.
You've never been a hat guy.
So cute. He's here. I love it.
It's...
I love it.
Freshman year, I met this guy.
The very popular Adam Friedland show hats are back in stock now.
And guess what? We got fucking hoodies.
We have this one, the squiggle.
Now that the lab is fucked up.
And guess what?
Modeled after United States Army hoodie.
We got this one.
This is going to be the fucking hoodie of the winter and fall.
My guest this week is British presenter and YouTube star Amelia de Moldenburg.
Known for hosting the very popular Chicken Shop Date.
The program has been host to countless stars over the years.
Of course, Paul Mezcal and the rapper Big ZooZoo.
Zoo.
The fuck is that?
Everyone knows, of course, that Amelia and I are both natural competitors.
We share a tremendous amount of respect for the other's work.
Mine, intellectual.
Hers, more of a poultry-based promotional tool for celebrity culture.
We're equals.
Our conversation reminded me a lot of the famous LeBron James tweet.
There's nothing like two heavyweights doing what they do best for the love off
of the sport.
Round after round, we traded blows.
And in the end, any reasonable viewer would call it a stalemate, a draw.
But shortly after we wrapped and she left the studio, and it was a mess, by the
way,
it dawned on me that my kill shot, my silver bullet, was still in the chamber.
It's embarrassing to admit this, but I want to take accountability for our
audience.
So this morning, I called her up and delivered my final blow.
Hi, um, how are you?
Hi, Adam.
Where are you?
Sorry.
I'm in LA.
Fancy hearing from you again.
Hi.
Okay, so I forgot.
There was one question I forgot to ask.
So you're obviously like a trailblazer in your space.
Yeah.
So, like, have you ever noticed any, like, imitators of, like, what you do?
Um, I would probably just, I'd probably say I'm one of one.
Well, I saw a show, there's, like, another British lady that does, like, a
dating, kind
of a dating show as well.
Did you see that?
Um, no.
Wait, tell me, who is this?
Would you ever consider, like, breaking her record of 100 dates in one day?
Oh, I know, okay, I know what, yeah, I know who you're talking about now.
Good one, Adam.
All right, that's all I had, yeah.
Is that it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, great, I hope you feel good about that.
Okay.
I'm going now, I'm hanging up.
Okay, all right, take care.
How do I hang up?
How do I hang up?
I don't know, okay.
Dude, that sucked.
I don't think it sucked.
What do you think, Zach?
I'm inspired.
And with that, the interview is officially complete.
Job done.
Game blouses.
Another win for me.
I've been having a good run recently.
Some say generational.
So please, without further ado, enjoy my conversation with Amelia DeMoldenburg.
Our next guest is one of the most popular creators on the internet.
Everyone, please welcome Amelia DeMoldenburg.
Let's give it up.
Make some noise.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Welcome.
Hi.
Are you, you're like collecting infinity stones.
Go on, what do you mean?
You did Caleb, you did hot ones.
Oh my God, yeah.
And now you're like scraping the bottom of the barrel.
And now I'm scraping the barrel, yeah.
Nice to see you.
You're very famous.
You're famous.
No, come on.
No, you're famous.
Don't condescend me.
You're famous.
What do you mean?
You know like.
You're famous to me.
Thank you.
She's very nice, guys.
Yeah.
Wait, you brought like an army.
I know, I did bring quite a lot of people.
We've had rappers here that have brought less people.
I know.
And they're better behaved.
And bigger bags.
You, I feel, you brought hair and makeup.
Can I, I feel like.
Do you want, do you want hair and makeup?
Yeah.
Do you want to use my hair and makeup?
Yeah, I kind of asked them.
They ignored me.
But yeah, yeah.
You guys want.
Would it be cool?
Absolutely.
Thanks, guys.
Wait, really?
How much time do we have?
I don't know how much time we have.
I don't know how much time we have.
Because I think.
So you grew up in Marlebone.
It's one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in London?
It's, well, I actually grew up in.
I would actually say I did grow up in the dodgy end of Marlebone.
What's dodgy about it?
Just like, there's one part that's just more, less dodgy than the other.
Really?
Thank you, guys.
Thanks.
Wow.
I think you look.
That was so gentle, too, that brush.
Very soft.
It's very soft.
Very comforting.
I want that to be an aspect of my life.
Yeah, it's a nice thing to have.
Just like, thank you so much.
Just give me a hand.
Thank you.
Wow, I feel, I felt like comforted.
I think you look.
Do I tamper?
I think you look worse now.
Do I look worse?
Yeah.
I asked for the natural look.
All right.
I feel like it's very benevolent of you to do all the other shows.
I get so excited when I get to meet other hosts, as you would say.
Yeah.
For me, it's like, what am I doing making something that's one hour long in an
era where people
can only pay attention for 10 seconds?
I agree.
I've been researching, and one thing that impressed me is, like, you were kind
of, after college,
or, like, during college, it was a column, the date.
Before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it true that you hadn't been on a date prior to doing the call?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I started it when I was 17, so I feel like maybe it's not too crazy.
Yeah, 17.
When was your first date?
Like, how old were you?
I think 32.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was it, did she know it was a date?
Did she know?
Is it, does the, does the other one have to know it's a date?
Because that would be 36.
How old are you?
I'm 38.
You're 38?
Yeah, yeah.
I was born during the Reagan administration.
Oh, my God.
I'm 38 years old, yeah.
I've done really nothing with my...
You actually look younger than 38.
I don't know.
Would you say, I know?
I know.
Or did you say, I don't know?
I know, yeah.
Yeah, so, like, you've obviously, what's impressive is you had a vision early
on that you wanted
to, like, adopt a video format for, you studied journalism, of course, right?
Yeah.
Sorry, is this a, you're serious, this is a serious, this is a serious
interview?
No, it's like, I'm sure, I don't know, it's, there's substance, you want it to
be jokes?
No, no, no, I don't, actually.
So, you, I'll do a joke.
No, I actually don't want it to be jokes.
Your early episodes of your show were, who's Gets?
Who's that?
Say, can you tell me the question again?
Oh, Gets is the first episode of Chicken Shop Date.
Who is that?
He is a UK rapper.
Rapper.
And then you also had Fuse, ODG.
Yep, he's an Afrobeat artist.
Okay, and Jammer, who's that?
Jammer, he's in Boy Better Know, which is Skepta's crew.
Skepta.
He's also a rapper.
Yep, with JME.
And AJ Tracy.
AJ Tracy, he's another rapper.
My sister's calling me right now.
Oh, can I say hello?
Yeah, you want to say hi?
Zoe.
Yeah, Zoe.
Yeah, yeah.
Hi, Zoe, it's Amelia.
Oh, hi, Amelia.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
You know, yeah, we're recording.
But you know what's really funny?
She has a sister, Zoe.
I have a sister called Zoe.
A to Z.
So we're both A to Z.
Because I'm Amelia, and she's Zoe, and you're Zoe.
How crazy is that?
We got excited on the video interview.
And we said, I said that that's not interesting.
I know, she's saying that Zoe is superior as a sibling.
Is, uh, Zoe is superior?
Shut up, Zoe.
I'm sorry to interrupt your recording.
Why are you cheating on me in the middle of the show, Zoe?
It's okay.
Oh my God, and you have the umlau on your e as well.
Yeah, dot dot.
I do.
Oh God, it's all making sense.
Is your sister dot dot?
Yes, she is.
She's Z-O-E dot dot?
Yeah, and she gets upset when there's no dot dot.
You're literally tween.
We're tween.
We're tween.
All right, I'm going to pass you back to Adam now.
All right, I've got to go back to this Zoe.
We're on the show right now, okay?
Can I leave, uh, you knew that.
Okay.
No, I did not.
What are you calling about?
Some fucking Taylor Swift kind of thing or something?
No, fuck up.
Fuck you, Abazo.
Okay.
So annoying, dude.
That was cute.
So, so, yeah, I, what, what was it that, like, kind of made you want to, like,
transition
from dating in a column to, like, doing a video series?
Well, because when it was, when I was doing the column in a magazine, because
it started
off in a youth club.
Yeah.
And.
What is a youth club?
Like, oh yeah, because I feel like in America they don't really have them.
It's like somewhere you would go after school and meet people that you didn't
actually
go to school with in, like, a space, and you would do, like, extracurricular
activities,
but the one that I went to, we specifically made a magazine.
You know that photo series of, like, kids at a club, like, English kids at a
club, and
there's, like, a DJ and stuff?
No.
I'll show you.
There's a really funny picture, but keep going.
Yeah, I, I went to this youth club and we made a magazine, and, yeah, start off
was
the column, but when I was doing it, it felt, like, funny and awkward, and I
was already
playing this, like, persona, and I thought that it would be cool if it was
actually filmed
so people could see it.
So, like, do you, so since you hadn't been on a date at 17, and you've been
doing this
since then, is this, is there some notion of, like, a sexual awakening that you've
had
in the process, because the cool thing about the show is that there is a blurring
of a
line between, like, the format of a date, and then it does feel real, and the-
And the most successful episodes have been the ones where it's, like, palpable
sexual chemistry.
Do you think it's sexual chemistry?
I feel like it's more just, like, cute, cute chemistry.
Do you think it's sexual chemistry?
Do you think, yeah.
Do you think, yeah.
Do you think, yeah.
I feel like it's actually not quite, I feel like it's not sexual chemistry.
Do you think it's sexual chemistry?
I feel like it's more just, like, cute, cute chemistry.
Do you think it's sexual chemistry?
No, it's in you, I know, for sure.
Do you think, yeah.
I always thought that I would meet the love of my life on the show.
On YouTube.
I'm realizing now I don't think that's going to happen.
Yeah.
Has it complicated your actual life?
Because it does feel like it's not purely performance.
I mean, it is a type of performance, but it does, there is an aspect of reality
in it.
Yeah, I actually feel like sometimes I get in my head about it, and I feel like
the reason
I've been single for, what now, like nearly six years is because I have a
dating show.
Really?
