Amy Poehler's not a regular costar, she's a cool costar.

The actor revealed on a recent episode of her Good Hang podcast that she once got in a fight on an airplane with a man who had scolded her for swearing in front of her Mean Girls costar Ana Gasteyer's baby.

"I remember being on the plane with you," Gasteyer, who was Poehler's Christmas episode guest, recalled.

"Yeah, we were on the plane, and I got in a fight with a guy," Poehler responded with a smile.

"Yeah, you got in a fight with the guy," Gasteyer said. "Baby Frances was on the plane with us, do you remember that?"

Gasteyer was referencing her daughter, Frances, now 23, one of two children she shares with her husband, Charlie McKittrick.

"She was on the plane and I still got in a fight with the guy?" Poehler asked. "With the baby around?"

"Yeah, I hope so, because the guy got mad that you were swearing in front of the baby," Gasteyer reminded her.

"Right," Poehler said once the memory clicked. "Yeah, it's a long story, but what happened was a guy who like a first-class guy — we were in first class, too — was like, 'Excuse me, I'm trying to… You're being too loud in first class.' And my Boston came out, let's just say that."

"It was the best thing I've ever seen," Gasteyer praised. (You can watch Poehler and Gasteyer's exchange beginning at the 1:06 mark in the video below.)

Poehler and Gasteyer first worked together on Saturday Night Live, where their tenures overlapped during Gasteyer's final season on the sketch show, between 2001 and 2002.

They went on to star together in Mean Girls, along with Tina Fey, in 2004. Poehler played the mom of Regina George (Rachel McAdams), while Gasteyer played the mom of Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan).
