0:47
I don't think you understand.
0:50
Like, I ordered a spicy cocktail last night with dinner cuz I was like, I am just in the Hot Ones spirit. it. Already. I'm so ready. Mhm. Mhm. This is so good. Easy. There we go.
1:29
I know this is a like The first one's easy.
1:31
It's like we all know that.
1:32
Everybody starts and is like, easy.
1:41
It seems like you've been doing a lot more like long-form interviews on the podcast, talking to interesting people, historian Michael Best, designer Emily Bode.
1:48
How would you describe your approach as an interviewer?
1:51
I'm still learning who I am as an interviewer because you know, I did the Met Gala interviews.
1:57
That was sort of my first time interviewing.
1:59
And that's a little bit different, you know, like the red carpet thing. Yep, yep, yep.
2:02
So different because that is like you know, I'm good fast, like spur of the moment, like just, you know, spitballing, improving, whatever.
2:08
I think that comes easier to me, but something a bit longer, something that requires maybe a bit more research, that just requires a different side of the brain and I enjoy it deeply, but I'm learning what my routine is with it. Yeah, yeah.
2:25
I've tried preparing a lot before, writing out all the questions.
2:30
I found that that can psych me out.
2:32
So then I've also gone in kind of blind, like just done research and just gone in blind.
2:36
And that works, too, but then sometimes I'm like, oh, I forgot something.
2:40
So I'm still finding my happy medium and maybe you know, you can Do you feel like you have your structure down or do you feel like you're always learning?
2:50
no, I don't think the Rubik's Cube ever snaps into place.
2:52
I think it's just the the pursuit of it is always this journey of like trying to figure it all out, but I think the important thing, and you said it, is that you're enjoying it, you know?
3:03
It's all about enjoying it and it's all about learning something from the person that you're talking to.
3:08
At the end of the day, that's my priority.
3:09
It's like I just want to learn something or just have a silly little talk.
3:14
Okay, learn something or laugh.
3:15
That's the goal of an interview, I think.
3:19
Are you ready to move on here to sauce number two? This is Smoky J. Mhm. No problem. Easy. Mhm. Light work. Mhm.
3:30
What's your most controversial coffee opinion?
3:31
Like is there a coffee hill that you're prepared to die on? Okay.
3:36
There's this sort of segment of the coffee community that's obsessed with, you know, weighing out the beans, um you know, spraying like an an aroma.
3:46
Maybe this is sort of more niche, but I've definitely My Instagram reels are definitely they know that I'm a coffee girl.
3:52
know you're deep in the game.
3:54
There's a lot of of people, you know, who are are really into sort of like making the perfect cup, you know, like it taking 50 steps and it being this complicated thing and that's how you make a really good cup of coffee.
4:06
But I disagree with that.
4:08
Sometimes you just want a simple haphazardly made cup of coffee and sometimes that's great.
4:16
Like you don't it doesn't need to be eat I guess.
4:21
But also if you don't like a cup of black coffee plain and you can't drink that I don't know if you can call yourself a coffee lover.
4:31
I think you can call yourself a coffee drinker and that's okay.
4:36
But I think to be a true coffee lover, you have to love a black coffee.
4:43
Stellar fuzz here in the three spot. I love habanero sauce. Mhm.
4:52
How about this, you guys? Mhm.
4:55
So I recently binged the most recent season of Next in Fashion for an interview that I had with Tan France and Gigi Hadid.
5:00
I was very excited to see you as a guest judge.
5:03
I'm curious, what's the Emma Chamberlain fashion trend prediction that you're most confident in in 2024? Mhm. Love this question.
5:13
Cuz I think about this all the time. Okay.
5:16
One thing that I've been talking about actually talked about this with my dad. Probably six months ago. Boat shoes, okay?
5:23
Because I feel like every year we get a little preppier in one segment of fashion.
5:27
And then I see boat shoes on the runway. I freaked out.
5:31
I almost screamed because I said it and then it was there and I didn't even tell anyone other than my dad. Did you leak it? You leaked it. Um yeah. So I don't know. I think boat shoes.
5:43
I also think vampire aesthetic Or Vampire aesthetic. Like Dracula aesthetic.
5:51
Don't you think fashion trends are kind of funny how like people will at scale and in unison decide to take style tips from Count Dracula for like no definable reason whatsoever.
6:02
Culture will choose a thing to be obsessed with.
6:04
I see nautical dads with the boat shoes and I see um Count Dracula.
6:17
So this is the uh Los Calientes verde. Mhm.
6:27
Just got dry in my throat.
6:27
I wasn't even so spicy yet.
6:31
Given that their reach dwarfs that of celebrities on other platforms, why do you think YouTubers have such a fraught relationship with being called YouTubers?
6:40
Oh my god, I this is so great.
6:40
This is such a great question because I I've gone back and forth myself Right, same with me.
6:49
about how I feel about being called a YouTuber.
6:50
You know, at first I loved being called a YouTuber.
6:53
I was like this is my dream.
6:55
I grew up watching YouTube.
6:57
YouTubers are my movie stars and then I did end up having this sort of crisis where I was like I don't feel like people are taking me seriously.
7:02
I don't feel like when I go home for Thanksgiving I'm anxious do do my do people take this seriously?
7:11
You know, like the people from home, do they think I have a job?
7:12
And then, you know, and some of them didn't think I had a job.
7:16
And it's like, well, do I care about that?
7:18
And there was sort of a crisis there.
7:21
For a while I think I had that crisis on and off just trying to find confidence in being a YouTuber.
7:28
I'm back to being like who ca- number one, who cares?
7:34
But number two, being a YouTuber is cool.
7:40
Like I don't care what anyone says, it is cool.
7:42
And even let's say in 20 years when I quit YouTube, I hope people still call me a YouTuber.
7:49
I'll I'll have kids, I'll have a family, I'll be like, whatever, living on a farm, no one's seen me for 20 years, I still hope people are calling me a YouTuber. Put it on the tombstone.
7:57

15:32
Do you know what I'm saying?

16:52
Um I see the face, a little bit of a panic, and I feel it, too.
16:56
And here's the good part.

17:42
And one final question to close things out.
17:45
You know, last time you were on the show, you had a spiritual awakening and even took a moment to pray to the ghosts of Hot Ones guests past.
17:56
Now that you are also a spirit in the sky of this show, I'm curious, Emma, how do you want to be remembered?
18:02
I want to be remembered as the one who came on and took another bite.
18:14
