Amy Poehler hilariously recalled her Boston roots emerging during an argument on a plane.
“I remember being on a plane with you,” Poehler’s “Saturday Night Live” co-star Ana Gasteyer recalled during an episode of Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcastearlier this week.
“You got into a fight with a guy,” Gastyer continued, noting that her baby Frances — who is now 23 years old — “was on the plane with us.”
“She was on the flight and I still got in a fight with the baby around?” an incredulous Poehler repeated.
“The guy got mad that you were swearing in front of the baby,” Gasteyer confirmed.
“It’s a long story, but what happened was a first-class guy, which we were in first class too, was like, ‘Excuse me, I’m trying to — you’re being too loud in first class,’” Poehler explained.
“My Boston came out, let’s just say that.” A bemused Gasteyer called the mid-air clash “the best thing I’ve ever seen.”
Poehler went on to marry “Arrested Development” alum Will Arnett in 2003 before finalizing her divorce from him in 2016. They share sons Archie, 17, and Abel, 15.
Gasteyer married husband Charlie McKittrick, in 1996, and along with Frances, the longtime couple share son Ulysses.
Gasteyer, 58, and the “Park and Recreation” star, 54, famously appeared together on “Saturday Night Live” from 2001 to 2002.
They also co-starred in Tina Fey’s iconic 2004 comedy “Mean Girls,” with Poehler memorably playing “cool mom” to Rachel McAdam’s popular Regina George character.
Gasteyer, meanwhile, played the mother of Lindsay Lohan’s character, Cady Heron.
In 2019, the comedic icons teamed up for “Wine Country,” which also starred Fey, Rachel Dratch, Emily Spivey, Maya Rudolph, and Paula Pell.
While looking back on their time together on “Saturday Night Live,” Poehler and Gasteyer both admitted to being “obsessed” with lifestyle maven Martha Stewart — whom Gasteyer is famous for flawlessly imitating.
“Martha, I’m not going to invite you on the show because I’m too scared, but please listen and know that you’re something else,” Poehler quipped.
