Ana Gasteyer joined Amy Poehler on the Dec. 23 episode of her podcast, Good Hang
The pair recounted how Poehler “got into a fight” with a fellow first-class passenger on a plane for being “too loud” and “swearing” in front of Gasteyer’s baby
“My Boston came out, let’s just say that,” the Parks and Recreation alum said of the plane incident, which occurred more than 20 years ago
Amy Poehler is recounting how she once got into a fight with a fellow first-class passenger on a flight.
During the Dec. 23 episode of her podcast, Good Hang, the Parks and Recreation alum, 54, was joined by Mean Girls costar Ana Gasteyer. Poehler asked her guest to share some memories of their time shooting the 2004 movie together, and Gasteyer said she remembered being on a plane with Poehler at the time.
“You got into a fight with a guy. Baby Frances was on the plane with us, do you remember that?” Gasteyer said, then noting that her daughter Frances is now 23.
As Poehler asked, “And I still got into a fight with the guy with the baby around?” Gasteyer replied, “I hope so, because the guy got mad that you were swearing in front of the baby.”
After explaining that it’s “a long story,” Poehler said, “But what happened was a guy — a first-class guy, which we were in first class too — was like, ‘Excuse me, I’m trying to [relax]. You’re being too loud.’ ”
“My Boston came out, let’s just say that,” the comedian then joked about her response to the man.

Ana Gasteyer and Lindsay Lohan in ‘Mean Girls’ (2004)
As the podcast conversation continued, the Suburgatory star recalled the moment when she first learned that Tina Fey was interested in making Mean Girls.
“I remember hanging out with you in that hotel one night and having drinks,” Gasteyer told Poehler. “I have a memory of [Fey] sitting at the table and saying, ‘I think I’m going to try to option this book. It’s incredible.’ “
Fey, 55, went on to adapt Rosalind Wiseman’s Queen Bees and Wannabees into the hit comedy film, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert.
Gasteyer played the mother of Lohan’s character, Cady Heron, and Poehler played the mother of McAdams’ Regina George.
Years after the plane incident, in 2012, Gasteyer’s daughter joined her mom on-screen in Suburgatory. Frances, who was 10 at the time, played the younger version of her mother’s character, Sheila Shay, in a series of flashbacks for the season 2 episode titled “The Witch of East Chatswin.”
Speaking to PEOPLE about working with her daughter, Gasteyer said at the time, “It was one of the most special things I think I’ve ever been able to share with her. I think all little girls kind of admire what their moms do … and it’s fun for her to get a taste of that.”
“She really loved all of it,” the actress added of Frances’ first acting experience. “I was amazed.”
