Amy Poehler interviewing Mindy Kaling about being a meme is a delight
Being so famous you could send your friends a meme that's actually you is the ultimate flex, according to Mindy Kaling.
Interviewed by pal Amy Poehler on her podcast Good Hang, the star talks about her latest comedy Not Suitable for Work (with a guest question from the Hulu series' star Avantika), and the pair chat about their shared rise to fame through improv, interning on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, their love for Saturday Night Live, and not agreeing on a capella.
Best bit?
Kaling and Poehler really get into all things The Office, of which Kaling wrote more episodes of than any other writer, and was the only woman in the writers room. Kaling talks about how she ended up playing the iconic Kelly Kapoor, and as promised, they chat about the fact that they're both memes.
"I love being a meme. It makes me feel young," says Kaling.
"Are you kidding me? It's my dream," responds Pohler. "I've actually been like, can I send people my own memes?"
"Oh, do it. It's such a mic drop," says Kaling.
"It's such a weird...but there's no higher compliment," says Poehler.
"I send people memes of Kelly saying, 'This day is bananas,' all day long," says Kaling.

De’Longhi has expanded its Classic Espresso Machine lineup with two new finishes: Matte Black and Stainless Steel. Both models build on last year’s launch, continuing the brand’s push to make café-style espresso more approachable for everyday home setups.
At the core, they’re designed around the same idea — simple, compact machines that aim to bring espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and more into reach without a steep learning curve.

It uses 9-bar pressure to pull espresso shots and heats up quickly with thermoblock technology so it’s ready to brew fast. You can choose single or double shots with preset buttons, and save your preferred drink size. With an adjustable tray, 57 oz water tank, and included tamper and filter baskets, it’s an easy, no-fuss setup.

You can pull single or double shots at the press of a button, then adjust drinks using the steam wand, which produces everything from steamed milk to microfoam — and also dispenses hot water for americanos and tea.
Keke Palmers podcast interview with Michelle Buteau is pure joy
If you're looking for a brilliant interview between two icons at the top of their game, watch Keke Palmer interviewing Michelle Buteau.
On the latest episode of Baby, This is Keke Palmer, the podcast host (and Mashable 101 alumnus) chats with the Survival of the Thickest and Babes star and it's simply glorious to watch. The pair talk about the latest and final season of Buteau's Netflix show, her history-making Radio City Music Hall show, motherhood, growing up in Central Jersey with Caribbean heritage, the worst interview questions ("What would you ask your younger self?"), and they play a chaotic game of Password.
Best bit?
Palmer and Buteau's conversation about body confidence and the exhausting shaming comments Buteau's been told about by people in her life, from her family to producers.
"I always say representation is so important, because if you don't see yourself, how do you ever know that you could be it? And how do you learn about anybody else, if you're just seeing the same type of people all the time, the same type of bodies?" says Buteau, explaining how she found her now-signature sense of self love and confidence despite these negative comments.

"But I'm thankful for those experiences, because when people say we fight for joy, I fight for it, within myself, for everybody else. And now I know how to love my children and how to raise them. Because I'm like, it ain't about even me, it's you, this is your body. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.
"So I am actually thankful for those experiences because they really have taught me how to live in an unbridled, joyful way where nobody can fucking touch it."
