Bothof you were so happy when it worked, and you thought it would just be a fun side project for the both of you. But the guests kept getting bigger and bigger and you were able to quit your shit job because now you were earning a very comfortable living and you have so many opportunities that years ago you could only have dreamt of.
It really took her no time at all to get Matty to agree to a chicken shop date as he already knew about the show and how it usually goes down. Matty agreed on the spot and he told her that they were going to release their new album sometime in October so it would have to be close to then for promo reasons.
But in the UK the two of you definitely became well known when Amelia and Aitch started their little romance that had all stemmed from their date. Matty planned on asking what actually happened when he had his own chicken shop encounter though. But he had to admit, he was glad that it was confirmed that he would be going on his own chicken shop date with you.
Matty would say he certainly relaxed about the date a little more when he realised it was coming up and he was freshly single. Whilst he was still a little down in the dumps about yet another failed relationship, he was excited to actually play off you on this date properly. He could freely flirt without any guilt to come with it and he was excited for it.
Standing outside the chosen Chicken Inn this time has you unable to stay still. After doing this for so long, the nerves were something you were used to, and you had been able to learn to keep under control but knowing that Matty was the one who would walk in at any moment was making you feel like it was your first ever date.
But that relief only lasts a few seconds as you all hear the heavy door being pushed open and you see the musician walk in as he closes his umbrella with Jamie, his manager, walking closely behind him.
Someone from the crew places your chicken boxes in front of you two, and he watches as you give them a sweet smile and thank them. It was interesting seeing you not being blunt and awkward like in the videos.
Hearing Amelia laughing with you and the crew not being able to hold their giggles back has you unable to calm down for the next minute. You let your head hang, silently laughing, so your hair covers your face.
So as your date continues with his songwriting spiel, you somehow manage to conjure up the muscle memory of doing a smoke ring. And when you do it, you sit up a little taller feeling proud of yourself.
When he looks back up at you, Matty finds you just looking at him and he takes the opportunity to take his time and do the same. He twirls the strand of hair falling over his forehead as he keeps his gaze on you and you bite your tongue to keep yourself from blushing under it.
Your small crew does a little round of applause and to keep yourself busy and to try and regain some composure, you just take your phone out. As you calm down, you take a picture of the fag and ash in amongst your chickken nuggests and chips.
After Amelia and Jamie are done going over whatever it was, she asks Poppy to get another few promo pictures of you and Matty standing up beside each other. You send her a knowing glare but you stay professional and get up when Matty does and you succeed in not losing your shit when his hand finds your hip so he can hold you next to him.
You get a normal picture of the both of you smiling before another crew member of yours hands Matty his takeout box to hold for another picture. And in the next you steal a chip from it and take a bite.
And when Poppy thanks the both of you, you step away from each other as the crew start packing up the cameras. Pleasantries are exchanged between you and Jamie as Amelia chats to Matty a little more, no doubt coming up with more ways to embarrass you, which certainly turns out to be the case.
Just after you all start talking between yourselves, Matty checks his phone and he notices the time. He encourages Jamie to get ahead of the traffic and whilst they quickly say goodbye to each other, Amelia tells you what she and Jamie spoke about.
Thankfully it was nothing major, just that the bit about you knowing that Matty only lived 10 minutes away from this Chicken Inn needed to be cut from the final video. Nothing else was mentioned, and apparently Matty had given the green light for you to use whatever you liked from the whole video. You truly love it when your guests give you free rein to have your creative freedom.
You stare ahead, watching the tiny drops of rain fall down lightly. You two were taking cover under the bit of roof that was sticking out and covering about a foot and a half from the wall of the back of the place.
Matty hates that he has to hold up the umbrella because all he wants is to hold your face like he had done before, and maybe it was the way he held you tighter against him that has you knowing so you bring one of your hands to cup his jaw while the other tangles in the hair at the nape of his neck.
You pull the fabric towards you, so he has no option but to keep this kiss going. And Matty is almost taken aback by your brazen attack. He knew you were nervous before this but just by this alone he would think you were the most confident woman on the planet.
When the Uber is about a minute away, you two walk down the alley with the umbrella still over you and up to the front of the chicken shop. Your steps slow as you both try to put off having to say goodbye, but the moment arrives nonetheless and before you know it, Matty is crushing you in a hug with his Uber waiting behind him.
He and the rest of the crew had seen the hug and how Matty left you his umbrella but the director was now curious as to know where had you been from when you left with him for a smoke up until two minutes ago.
"And I thought, I obviously can't kiss him," she said. "I had a split second. I thrive under pressure, it seems. And so, I kissed him on the forehead, which I think was the absolutely right decision. I like it when people sort of surprise me at my own game!"
"I was just obsessed with reading fashion magazines. I actually blame Mary Kate and Ashley for making me such an ambitious child, because they really had it all and I wanted to do it all, too," she said.
While not many people would turn down a date with Drake in Sweden, Dimoldenberg said, "I know, it's true, but I just think that we need to keep it authentic. And so, for me it was important that we did it in a local chicken shop, and he agreed. I'm always right!"
It's all treats for lovers of chicken-based interview shows on this Halloween. Chicken Shop Date's host Amelia Dimoldenberg and Hot Ones' interviewer Sean Evans are officially sitting down in the hot seat across from each other. It's the crossover event that's even more exciting than Stephen Colbert interviewing John Oliver. (And that is saying a lot!) As a quick refresher, Chicken Shop Date is a U.K.-based interview series where Dimoldenberg questions major celebs in the context of an awkward first date setting, and yes, chicken and chips are served. Some of her most viral interviews include chats with Matty Healy, Jennifer Lawrence, and Daniel Kaluuya. On the other hand, Evans puts his celeb guests through some discomfort as well during his show in the form of hot sauces that gradually rise on the Scoville scale. Guests on this show include the likes of Post Malone, Billie Eilish, and Margot Robbie. Plus, many celebrities have helped craft some of the internet's best memes. So basically, we are losing our minds over the forthcoming Chicken Shop Date x Hot Ones interview crossover.
For those ready to see the two interviewers share the hosting spotlight, you can catch the Chicken Shop Date x Hot Ones interviews this week on YouTube. Hot Ones featuring Dimoldenberg will arrive on Thursday, November 2. Then, Evans will be a guest on Chicken Shop Date, and that interview will go live on Friday, November 3.
We are beyond thrilled to see Evans go on an awkward first date and watch Dimoldenberg go through the gauntlet and take the "last dab." In fact, I might even play along with her by getting my own Heatonist hot sauce pack. Stay tuned to see what the hosts discuss over some fried chicken.
Chicken Shop Date is a British YouTube interview show created and hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg, and produced by her production company Dimz Inc.[1] The show features celebrity interviews that are framed as dates in a local chicken shop.
The show has been nominated for several awards, winning Indie Series at the Streamy Awards in 2022 after garnering popularity for its "gleeful subversion of the classic late-night talk show format."[2]
The format of Chicken Shop Date involves Amelia Dimoldenberg meeting a celebrity guest at a local chicken shop for a date, where they engage in casual, awkward, and sometimes flirtatious conversation.
Chicken Shop Date originally began as a column written by a then 17-year-old Dimoldenberg for her local under-21s youth magazine.[3] Beginning by interviewing 'friends of friends', she decided to frame the chats as dates 'because that might be a fun way to interview people'.[4] The location of a chicken shop was chosen as "somewhere you wouldn't expect to be taken on a first date".[4]
In 2014 Dimoldenberg met a camera operator, whom she "convinced to help film one of her dates".[5] This was with the Ghetts and was the first Chicken Shop Date video uploaded to YouTube. It attracted just over one thousand views in the first two weeks.[5]
Dimoldenberg has revealed that each episode takes around forty minutes to film, but finished episodes last no longer than eight minutes. "Only the funniest, flirtiest moments survive, spliced together with strategically deployed B-roll of food prep and the chicken shop's staff at work."[2]
Kongens Nytorv gives you straight access to Nyhavn and its colourful houses, which becomes a regular hang-out spot for Marcus in the episode. Copenhagen is rich in canals and harbours, why the Christianshavn Canal also is an ideal place to go for a walk, as it is also filled with colourful houses and boats along the canal. If you want to discover a more modern architectural harbour neighbourhood, there is also the possibility to visit the new Nordhavn District. Nordhavn offers the opportunity to jump in the water, new dining options and great architecture.
