E451 Adam Devine

46:24I don't know. Something about the stink of these glasses are flying off the shelves. Man, I feel bad about some of that shit. Yeah. You know, we used to, there's this girl in high school that we, it wasn't me, but we, my friends would call her Skeletor and she was a very mean to us but for some reason we'd still go to her parties and then my friends were like pissing her parents closets and shit yeah that's a mean thing to do in hindsight you're like wildly mean why are we doing that this girl invited us to a party we're calling her Skeletor and pissing in closets that's kids that's mean as shit it's super mean yeah people just did that kind of stuff we had some kids bus these two gals and one of them, she had, I guess, kind of big nostrils like me.

47:12And this other one, she had a lot of gums in her smile. And they used to call them, if you take nostril, and one of them they called Mr. Ed because she had longer gums. And Mr. Ed, if you said them backwards, it was Lurzen and Derm, if you said them backwards. So everybody always was like, oh, look, it's Lurzen and Derm all the time. It's just so dumb. But it was like people would just say it so many times. Yeah, and then those girls definitely couldn't put that together. So they're like, why are you calling us that? That's not my name. Yeah, it was just life, man. God, it was fun, dude. Yeah, I remember we did a bunch of LSD and this lady got caged up.

47:50Or not lady, but someone that was the same age as us got caged up in this room. Not even caged up. Caged up. People said, hey, you're caged up in here. And then they were on so much ass and they just believed they were. Yeah, sure. I'm like, you went to parties and people were in cages? Do we have to call someone? No, meanwhile, you could get out whenever you want. Yeah, this is an unlocked door. Yeah, you're in a backyard. It's not even a room. You're like, there's no way you can escape. Yeah, I mean, yeah, looking back at the shit that we used to do. Like, you know the movie Ma? Did you ever see that movie?

48:22Yeah, I did. You know who was in that movie? Johnny Paolo, who used to work with us. Oh, wow. So my buddy, Scotty Landis, wrote the movie. Oh, wow. And it's based on, I told him a story about my childhood and he's like, oh dude, I have a very similar story. And it was like, I bet a lot of people do. And then he wrote that movie, which essentially was this woman who used to buy us beer and shit. We'd go over to her apartment. She made us call her mom. No. Yeah. She'd be like, just call me mom. And you're like, huh? But you're like, she's buying you beer. So you're like, hey mom. Yeah. Can I get a 18 pack of Bush Light?

49:01And she'd like make us, she would be like, well, you got us have a few here before you can leave. And so we, I remember just like, she had like this crazy, like four foot zong. So like, there was also this other adult man. Like these people were like adults and they're just like bong ripping with like 16 year old kids. And I like, I took, I took enough bong rips that I turned like green. And then I laid down in this bed, like fully zapped out of my head. And it was her like daughter's bed, her like little 13 year old daughter. And she daughter wasn't there. I'm laying in the bed. She brings her daughter into the room.

49:41She goes, it's OK. Just crawl into bed with him. Yeah. And I'm like so green and I can't move. And I just this fucking little girl crawls into bed with me. And meanwhile, I'm like 16 years old. And I'm like, this is too weird. And then luckily, my buddies like grabbed me and pulled me out of there. And I'm like, this is a fucking horror film, dude. Yeah, because that is that is a horror film. That lady could be setting you up. Who even knows? Why is there people that are still living that much in the past where they are? What do you think that is? Like the mom that does that or the dad? Is that more of a mom thing or a dad thing?

50:16Well, it might be a dad thing, but then that dad is arrested pretty quick. I feel like dads get arrested for that shit pretty quickly. Moms are like, maybe she is just being a nice woman. and give him a benefit of the doubt. Guys immediately, I think, they're like, he's a creep, he goes to prison. Yeah, the fact that we were able to party at this woman's house, it was a strange thing. Every town has a couple kind of cool moms like that. Yeah. And they're fucking cool, dude. And sometimes they drive a van. One of them, I remember, drove a van with that swimming pool ladder on the back. Like, what the fuck was that?

50:53I remember, yeah. Why did you? Yeah, every time you go up there, there's no pool up there. There's not a pool. There's never been a pool up there This is a fucking lie Yeah you couldn't put a pool up there This van's a liar Yeah I feel also Vans Where are vans Vans up and disappeared dude They were so good My mom had a minivan That had like Those twinkly lights Oh wow It was not particularly fancy It was called a Mark 3 and it had like the little lights you remember in the movie theaters? That looks like it on the top left. Oh, that's a Mark II. Yeah, that's a Mark II. Ours is the Mark III. Oh, that's a Mark III?

51:34Oh, yeah. So essentially this. And then Dumb Ladder and then there was a little like 13-inch TV with a cassette so we'd watch Half Baked in there. Yeah. You know? We would, you know, on road trips I'd queue up some Forrest Gump put that bitch on repeat Just run it right back Dude I remember my mom got a Dodge Neon car And we'd never had like a nice car before And we went and My brother and I would go and sleep in it at night And put the passenger seats down And the driver's seat down And sleep in there It was so nice dude Pull it up A Dodge Neon? Yeah you know what I'm talking about? Well yeah but that's not a van It's just a car Oh it was a van to us man It was fucking beautiful It was so spacious Because before that she'd had a Ford Festiva Oh yeah You ever seen those?

52:30Yes My mom had They had a Buick That right there The silver one Mom had that And she used to beat us I literally That car ran by abuse Yeah that's what it was powered by My mom could play us Like the drums Like she would sit In the fucking driver's seat And literally like Like And the roof Would like start to droop on you Like the roof That's what My mom's car like Like it would like the roof no longer, the felt. Oh, yeah. No longer stuck to the ceiling. And it would just start to droop down. And you'd be in the backseat with like a roof like hanging. Like it's some swoopy bangs, but it's just the roof to the car.

53:07Yeah. You'd be like, I hate you, mom. Yeah. God, get a car that I can see out of. Dude, and that droop roof. Because yeah, a lot of those vehicles had Bell's palsy, I think. Yeah.

I mean no, they weren't even good back then It was just like Somebody It was just me doing mask It was good Did you ever go to Because you moved You grew up in Omaha? Yeah, I grew up in Waterloo, Iowa Until I was 10 And then we moved to Omaha Until high school and then after I graduated, I moved to LA.

56:05Did you ever go to the Field of Dreams? In Iowa? Yeah. You did? Cool, isn't it? It's way cool, yeah. It's in the middle of nowhere. It's just like a baseball field. Yeah, Dyersville it is. I love the Midwest. My mom went to school over there in Iowa. Where we're at? She went to Colen College, I think. Oh, okay. There it is. Yeah, it's cool. It's cool. When you go see it, it's cool. Yeah, like the Midwest, People give it such a bad rap But it is just People are so nice It's beautiful Iowa's a very pretty state Oh I love it man Rolling hills and just green beautiful fields You know cornfields It's cool Also like Purina dog brand There's a lot of famous old brands that are from there John Deere What else Russell Stout Stover, I think.

57:02Where's that from? god imagine knowing him Russell I'd love it Kansas City, Missouri Oh yeah Kansas City, Missouri It's like It's like accepted As the Midwest Even though I feel like It's getting a little Wild West kind of It's a little bit What I like about Kansas City Is Like that There was like A real mafia element Oh yes Yeah Because St. Louis Has a mafia element Yeah Kansas City There was like The Kansas City mob bosses And like They wouldn't go West to there Like so the mob bosses Would be in there And they would control Vegas because they couldn't get any closer because the feds would come down on them.

57:41Fuck, that's crazy. At least that's what Casino taught me, the movie. Yeah, I believe a lot of that. Yeah. I believe a lot of that, man. Is there a movie that you've been thinking about? So you have this one done. Is there another movie that now you... Do you have to wait to see how this one does to see if you get other opportunities? How does that kind of work in your business? Because you've had a good run. A lot of guys don't get some of the same opportunities, you know? For sure. Yeah, kind of. You always have to be thinking, like, what's the next thing? But, yes, I think this one, I have a lot riding on this one, you know?

58:19So Netflix really wants it to do well. I really want it to do well. And I think if it does well, then Netflix will let me make it a handful more. That's great. Which would be great. Yeah, man, we'll make sure. Watch it July 7th. We will. Yeah, but I have the next couple ideas cooking right now So as soon as The writers were on strike So technically I can't go pitch a movie right now So I have it ready to go And then as soon as we are not striking any longer I'll flop on into that movie studio And pitch my wares Do you pitch something before you write it? Yeah, sometimes Sometimes it's – you want to – it depends.

59:08Every project is different. But sometimes if the idea is too weird that you feel like the executive wouldn't be able to get it, then we wouldn't – we would just write it and then go sell it. But if it's like a hooky idea like this, The Outlaws, like when you – you understand the movie when I pitch it to you. So you're like, oh, I get it. you could just pitch that idea and they'll buy that idea and then and then you're kind of on the track already um your show the gemstones are you guys finished doing or you're waiting to see if you do it again i think we'll probably do it again i'm danny's pretty confident he wants to do another couple seasons of it it's so fucking fun dude and and danny mcbride is like i'm not you know like you said earlier i'm just like so damn lucky to like the that they allow me to keep doing this shit yeah uh and it's so ridiculous danny mcbride is like a true comedy hero of mine like i remember when me and the workaholics guys like way before we got workaholics when we were still doing like internet sketch stuff uh durst came over anders holm came over with a dvd he like knew an agent that slipped him a dvd of the foot fist way yeah you ever see that movie so good so good dude and um so good jody hill directed it danny is the star of it and jody's does jody write on gemstones yeah he directs a lot of the episodes wow what is he like he's the best dude he's just like the coolest they're all just the coolest nicest dudes and uh i mean you get along so fucking good dude when he's trying to break that they break that board yeah he's i mean so funny and we we were writing sketches together and we would write every wednesday and try to shoot something every weekend that's what that was like our our schedule and so durst comes over and he's like we're not gonna write anything we're gonna watch this movie i i heard it's it's unbelievable and we're like all right and we watched it and we were like holy shit and then we watched it right back we watched it two times in a row and it was the first time that we were like oh we can not that it wasn't great because it was great but it was like they felt like we know those dudes like we are we can make movies like that ah like you know what i mean like yeah Like Will Ferrell, since he does like these big characters and his movies are like big and broad.

1:01:28Can't really do that. Yeah. It felt like unobtainable. Yeah. And so this, it felt like, oh, we can make a movie like this. It feels like down and dirty. And like we could, we could do this like with our friends. And then we started to, that sort of changed our idea of like what we were doing. Cause we were playing like more characters or doing like bits with, with our sketches. And then we were like, we should just play, kind of play ourselves. Yeah. And that's sort of how workaholics, like that was the start of like trying to do sketches where I'm Adam, but like an exaggerated version of myself, you know?

1:02:02And then workaholics was kind of born out of. You guys being yourselves just in an environment. In an environment, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of the same thing that happened with me for podcasts. And I used to have a podcast with my friend Matt Weiss and he works with TMZ. I think he still works with them. and we were interviewing celebrities and stuff and talking about like celebrity stuff he knew a lot about celebrity stuff he really liked that world and it was kind of a struggle for me because i didn't know that much about celebrities and then uh then i went on joe rogan's show and i left out of there one day and i was like oh i just need to be i just need to be myself i just need to be in a place where I can just talk.

1:02:49Well, I think that's when comics really start to find their rhythm, right? Is when they when you get over that hump of like like, I feel like every comic starts this way where they just, they have their top five comics and they try to be like a version of them. Oh, yeah. Instead of just doing like what makes you funny. Yeah. Who were some of yours early? Of like the comics? Do you feel like you impersonated anybody a little bit i know that i remember showing a tape to a guy one time i was doing like a year and he's like this is great if you're like a mitch hedberg impersonator i'm like okay very fair yeah i bet i was doing like some tosh or like trying to be like swartzen or or um jim gaffigan was was really big at that time and i love how he like plays with the levels of his voice which i still like to do but uh i can see that now you say it a little bit yeah so i'm so i yeah i'm sure there was some of that and then I think like when you start to find your voices when you go like yeah obviously like Chris Farley's like an influence of mine and Jack Blackson an influence of mine and Sandler but like what makes me me and then and then from then once I kind of committed to being myself I feel like everything clicked into place yeah and a lot of that was from watching Foot Fist Way and being like oh these guys are just even though Danny isn't that guy he's like doing a character but it's like they're doing a character from a real place that they can access and not you don't have to like on your 30th movie is when you can stretch and and try to be something that you aren't right right when you could be tom hanks it's like tom hanks didn't start off doing yeah super dramatic whatever yeah polar express exactly yeah it's it's kind of fascinating man that we all pick up pieces of other people there's a famous book about that it's called it's like bar i don't know if it's called borrow but there's a book about that we all like especially i think in entertainment you can't help but take influence from things like we just interviewed rick flair and he talks and he his whole his i love rick flair oh it was it was unreal dude i mean he is rick flair will text me every year for my birthday i'm like this is the best like no one Like my friends don't even do that shit, but Ric Flair is like, whoa, happy birthday, Adam.

1:05:12I'm like, love it, dude. Well, it was so interesting, but he, his, his, um, care, his character, I guess, or some of his things that you know him from, their amalgamation of other people. Right. And he says it's, it's not any talking out of shop and he kind of like fine tuned them, you know, it's just interesting. That's how everything works. Well, it's also like the generation of comics that you come up with. Like if you're rolling with a crew, you all are like kind of taking from each other. Yeah. Without even – it's like how groups of friends when you guys are kids, how like that group of friends, they all have the same terminology.

1:05:52Yeah. They all have the same verbiage. Like they talk alike. They dress alike. And you just can't help but be like that. Yeah. That's just human nature. So like when people shit on me for, you know, talking like this person or being like that person, I'm like, I'm friends with those guys. Like, this is just how we talk. Right. And some of it's paying homage to them in some type of a way. You know, it's like you're kind of it's like you're as long as you're not stealing like their jokes or like fully like I bet you would be like, yo, Adam, what's with the mullet? If I like get your exact same hair and I started doing like your type of material, you might be like, what the fuck, Divine?

1:06:29Yeah. And if you got held back in the 6th grade Yeah if I demanded to be held back In the 6th grade it would be more like you And they're like But Adam you can read and do basic math And I'm like fucking hold me back So I can be a fucking king I'm trying to be the rat king It's crazy that people just let their kids Go through all the great Like hold your kid back one year And make him a fucking legend I remember The kid that I was like my bully it's funny I've said on multiple podcasts that he was my bully and then my aunt one Thanksgiving comes up to me and goes Adam can I talk to you and I'm like yeah what's up and she goes do you remember Brian I'm not gonna say his last name uh and I'm like yeah dude that kid was my bully in elementary school and she goes he says that you were his bully and that you really picked on him when you were a kid but this was the kid that he like failed a grade in like fourth grade or whatever and was held back so he's like way bigger than me he had like facial hair in the fourth grade he was like and he was drawing it on but he had it yeah he had it and he kept picking on me and i remember like my dad was like is he bigger than you i'm like yeah and he goes well then violence is your only key and i'm like what and he's like you have to strike first and strike often and i'm like this is some bad advice this is a foot fist way totally so like i just i I like punched this kid in the face.

1:07:56Like he said some shit. I just like fucking whacked him and then would run away. We like to where he could never strike back. I kicked him down a staircase once. Like, so I was like a violent little kid. And in hindsight, I was this kid's bully, but from my point of view, he bullied me. And then my dad just gave me the go ahead to be a violent little fuck. And so I'm sorry, Brian. I didn't know, dude. I thought you were my bully and I was trying to stand up for myself. Yeah. We didn't know Brian. Bullies are regular people I love that song, dude God, sometimes I see the bullies And I pray for them Damn We gotta get you in a Pitch Perfect movie They don't make good music anymore, huh?

1:08:48How perfect are you guys gonna make the pitch? That's what a lot of people are wondering Isn't it perfect enough? I don't know. That's what people are saying. It's like when Step It Up keeps coming up. People are like, how? Yeah, they're seconding up to the streets. Like, we get it. How many places do you have to step up? Amy Schumer always used to say that. How much do we have to step it up? Yeah. Yeah, how perfect is the pitch going to get? It's still getting. Dude, I'm doing a spinoff show. I did, it's called Bumper in Berlin. Season one is already airing on Peacock. Wow. It was a fucking hit for them.

1:09:19And then, yeah, so I lived in Germany for like four months last year. And like just being a song and dance man in Germany, dude. Yeah, there's me. That girl has horns on her head. Yeah, it's a wild show. Interesting. Is Riff Raff in it? No, dude. That sucks. You're right. I should put Riff in it. Yeah, so yeah, the pitch is still staying perfect, dude. I'm riding that one all the way home. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, that's fun. What an interesting time. I mean, this is an interesting life, man, because to go stay in Germany for four months is pretty... Did you have to work every single day, or did you actually have some free time?

1:10:01Yeah, I worked a lot on that one because I was the lead of it, and it's like a song and dance show. So, like, I'm singing and dancing every goddamn episode. So, like, I have to, on the weekends, it's like I have to go record songs, and I have to, like, learn choreography and shit. And then, but it was a wild... Have you ever been to Germany? Mm. yes okay uh yes i have my girlfriend somebody almost ran over my girlfriend with a bike over there oh dang where at i don't know it was about like this little uh it was kind of like by uh i don't know what it was i don't remember i mean i remember but i don't remember enough to say anything else yeah i've been there that is a dangerous intersection yes yeah dangerous intersection uh yeah so we were in berlin and awesome city super fun but like also like kind of cool in a weird way where like uh they have this club bergheim which is like the cool club where like everyone wears like leather dick pouches and shit and they have this guy that they call him the um piss goblin and he's like a 65 year old man who's just like and like you're supposed to just piss on him when you see him oh wow yeah and he's in a chair is he sitting down No, he'll just like, well, I didn't go to this club, but I've been told all about him.

1:11:20And then he'll just go around the club. And yeah, that's it right there. The big square building. Yeah. And then it's just a warehouse inside. And yeah, it's scary. It's like industrial type music. And then the piss goblin will like lay in the trough. You know how they have troughs in shitty men's bathrooms? And he'll just lay in there and be like. and you can just splash them up you can just splash them up apparently yeah freaking put a batch on that dude so it was like covid was just starting to like wind down uh at that point and so all the clubs were closed and then while i was there they all opened and we were getting sat at this nice restaurant my wife chloe and i and um the guy recognized me he's talking to me and he's like how are you enjoying germany and i'm like oh you know we really like and he's like have you been to some of the clubs.

1:12:12They're so fun and crazy. And we're like, oh, we haven't yet. You know, I'm working a lot, so I don't have time to go to the clubs. And he goes, oh, it's so fun. You have to make the time.

Yeah, I'm like a very, I feel, you know, because we want to have kids and stuff. and some people I have friends that they like don't put their kids on their social media I think I'm just gonna put my kids all over I don't give a shit I just like my life like I'm a pretty open book I'm like yeah this is my wife these are my friends this is my kid I don't kidnap the kid obviously that's a prerequisite oh yeah yeah that's a definitely no-no but it's like but even stalkers aren't that back in the day I think a stalker would come to kids like stalkers even nowadays are kind of people don't give a shit about me you know that's what's cool about comedians it's like there's no real no one really cares it's a good point huh you know like it's like when they people see you at the starbucks or cb they're they're just like oh shit what's up man yeah you you want some extra pumps of sugar-free vanilla yeah like that's what i get you know or like yo this one's on the house i'm like no dude i can pay for the coffee and they're you yeah that's the level of stalker that i have just like a cool guy who's a barista but then when that dude shows up later in your living room and he's like yeah this one's on the house yes you owe me for that cold brew bro that would almost be a crazy movie like a unique stalker that like just shows like just wants to brew me espressos yeah yeah he gives you one free thing and you don't even want it and then he holds that against you forever uh-huh that's like that sounds like a black mirror episode yeah where he just you're like i didn't even want the egg white and ham sandwich that you that you made me get it's like i actually had breakfast homie i didn't even want this but but all right i had a woman hit me after a show once uh stopped me after a show one time and asked her if i was leaving subliminal messages and podcasts to her and that was kind of crazy And she was extremely serious She was extremely serious That's scary It was way scary But you were, right?

1:19:45What I said was, I haven't been, but I will But you're gonna start, yes Three M &M's Three M &M's Whatever that means to her Yeah, I had one time And this was really early on Nothing this weird has happened since But this girl brought me a bunch of cupcakes to a show and this was like right when workaholics was taking off and i'm like this is the best i get baked goods now i'm at baked good level and so i like take i was living with blake at a time we had just rented this like cool house in the hollywood hills and i come back and i'm like yo dude i got these cupcakes like i'm at baked goods level and i like bit into a cupcake it was the First cupcake I bit into, chunk of her hair, dude.

1:20:31Uh-uh. Mm-hmm. Like a full-on tendril. Like a lock? Like a lock. Like she cut off a little chunk, baked it into a cupcake. It's so... How fucking weird is that, dude? I mean, I... What is she getting out of that? And then now I'm like, well, now I can't. That sucks. Because I want to be able to eat baked goods from fans. I want to be able to accept... That's Polish romance, I think, dude. The delicious, you know, treats that are given to me. But now you can't. You never know. God, that's wild to have somebody's hair in there. Yeah. I guess it was like I'd rather have hair than just like they just a ton of fentanyl or some shit.

1:21:16Oh. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Like that's for sure better. But still weird. They had our Taco Bell in our town was famous. Somebody had been doing like duty in the meat or whatever whenever it first opened up. And I know people say this is an old wives' tale. Dude, your town? But this is a true story. Oh, okay. And they had, and I know people say this happened in our town, whatever. They shut our Taco Bell down for two months, bro. And people were losing their fucking minds. People were getting divorces outside of it. People were throwing bricks through the window. People were writing. So people were, because I think the old wives' tale was like they used dog meat or something.

1:21:56And you're like, what? no, but I love a cheesy gordita crunch. How could they do this? But then that wasn't like a real thing. So people were literally like a guy who was working there. They busted a guy doing duty in the meat. And you can look it up too, I think, buddy. But this was, yeah, they, in my town, I don't think anybody's going to frown at half a pound of raw bichon or something. You know what I'm saying? But I think somebody goes and feces up a meat. somebody goes and feces up one of those you know what are they called? Frontrap Supremes or whatever but that really happened in our town and it's unfortunate that that kind of stuff happened that sucks can you find it?

1:22:38It may be on a Reddit I think I found the article, it's just loading it's from 1997 it's an old article bro can't believe it happened dude I remember one night I got out of my buddy's piss van with the sunglasses, I was so high they woke me up because we stopped at Taco Bell and I got out and I went to live with this other family in high school and I get out and they were there and I was like, you ever be so high and you see some people, you're like, I'm not supposed to see these people when I'm high Oh dude, yeah absolutely It's the worst Yeah, that's the worst God, it was the worst man I was like, what's up?

1:23:15I said what at some insane vocal level Ah! And they're like, hey Theo, good to see you It's lasagna tonight Good love lasagna Yeah my agents called me the other week They called me like at 8 o 'clock at night That's alarming I like smoked weed And then they called right then And then it's like the whole team And I like just changed agencies And they're like They're just wanting to talk to me about stuff And like career stuff Man I just talked for like 12 minutes straight didn't let them get a word in it's just me like saying words yeah that i don't know even the meaning of i'm just saying shit dude afterwards i was i like called my manager i'm like was i just saying a bunch of words he's like yeah dude you weren't making it so i'm like fuck don't call don't call me don't call me at eight like that's a that's an afternoon it's outside of sober hours for sure i might i might have just smoked a joint in which case i'm gonna i'm gonna be spinning my wheels in the mud yeah and the in the vocabulary mud oh yeah i think especially if agents they deserve to hear something from you every now and then even if you call them like hey listen to me read a little bit of this stuff that i wrote and you just read like the first chapter of like uh um scarlet letter to them yeah they would love that they would love you using their time like that.

1:24:46They'll stay on the phone. If you're doing well enough, they'll stay on the fucking phone. They'll stay on them and be like, wow, that's interesting. Wow, good stuff. This is because... Are you going to write a book? I know a lot of comics are writing books. Yeah, I thought about it. I've written a bunch over the years. I've written a lot. I've probably written half of a book, for sure. I think sometimes... I'd read your book. You got so many tales from your youth. We grew up in a unique area, man. Ian Somerhalder was from our town. You ever met him? Uh-uh. Show me him. His name is so familiar.

1:25:25God, he was handsome, brother. Really? Nobody had ever seen it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I know this guy. This guy was in Vampire Diaries with my girl Nina Dobrev. I mean, if you're able to be... I mean, he could be man or woman. Yeah.

So there's just like a hot boy. And no, he came. But here's what he would do. This is the biggest flex ever. He would come to school the first day of school and then go back to like being like a model or superhero. So he would just come the first day so all the chicks could see him. Like, there he is. There he is. And meanwhile, us regular dudes, we got on everything we could. We put cologne in a couple of choice spots. You're just reeking of cool water cologne.

And I'm like, yeah, I know. We're going to get our asses kicked. And then I just hear, nah, through the masses.

1:35:56I guess you have to talk about it with your spouse. You do. There is a conversation. And then it's like getting off of the birth control. And that takes a few months to get out of your system. And then it's game on. You got a plan, huh? But also, I'm like, there can't be too much of a plan. Because it's life, baby. It's just going to happen. And then you just have to, then you're going to have like a homie that you like have to take care of. Yeah. Which is, you know, because I'm, you know, I'm 39 years old now. And like to go this long without having to take care of a little homie is, you know, because I've like a lot of my friends, they had kids like Blake and Anders had kids almost a decade ago now.

1:36:45So they already have like true little people that they take care of that are like playing sports. Wow. You know. Do you feel behind the curve? No, because I mean, like, I feel like I also have a whole other group of friends that haven't yet. Yeah. So. Yeah, and work sometimes keeps you busy, you know? Yeah, for me, I was like, I wanted to be set up enough that when I do have kids, like, I don't have to feel like I, like, I know what I can pass on and what. There was a point where I was like, I have to be on the road all the time. I have to be doing, I have to have a TV show. I have to have a standup show.

1:37:24I have to have, like, I have to do all these things to get to the place that I want to be. And then now I'm like, okay, like I could set up a movie and I'm confident enough that I'll get another opportunity to come. I don't have to jump on everything. So there will be, so I'll have more time to be a good dad because, you know, that's pretty important. Oh, I think it's going to be key probably. did was there um yeah i guess it's kind of nice to be it is nice to be able to say i don't want i don't want to do that yeah and feel like there it used to be like you you would think like oh if i don't do that someone else is going to do that and then i would have lost out on that opportunity when now it's like it's fine someone else can do it right it's just not it just wasn't for me yeah or i don't i want to have the summer to do xyz like that is more important than this right now yeah and i think like just career wise right now i feel like i'm in a place where like i can um pick and choose a little more than i used to be able to congrats man it's real cool yeah thanks i mean you too you know i bet it's the same with the podcast world that you've built it's uh it's nice to yeah i remember when it was taken off for you for you and i saw you at the um in the hallway of the improv and i remember being like just knowing that your stand-up was really taking off and i was like is it your netflix special like did your special come out and like kind of blew you up because i think i was gearing up to do my netflix special and you were like no it was really the podcast the podcast is what what it was yeah yeah and i just i was like oh that's sick i could see all you guys you and you know sagura and yeah it's a whole world yeah it's interesting to have whole world you know um and i think yeah it's like it's interesting to have so many different people in here get to it's interesting that it almost gave everybody else a different hollywood or a lot of people a different type of hollywood you know we just kind of get to communicate um get to sit and chat with people too you know and catch up that's fun to talk to some of my heroes yeah it's fun to be able to uh what i think is cool about podcasts is it's like it just gives people an opportunity to go like i wonder what my favorite comics how they are when they're not are they funny just off the cuff or do they have to like write everything down it just gives them a opportunity to peek behind the curtain of like what it's kind of like to sit in the back of a comedy club with you know with comedian peers yeah you know and it's not like we would sit down and have like an hour-long conversation in the back of a comedy club because you got to do your set but it's like it gives people a little peek.

1:40:10Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting, man. It's interesting to see. It's interesting to hear. I like listening to some pods and I'm like, oh, wow, this is good, you know? I mean, it's nice to be able to talk about things. It's nice to be able to see where somebody's career is at, how some things have kind of happened for them. People's lives get so busy too. I've started to realize that sometimes when I sit down with someone to podcast, it may be the only time I'm going to get to talk to them for a while. Yeah, that's right. Sort of really try and make the time have some value, uh not only to listeners but you know just just like between me and them um what's like uh you know there's like some meme going around of like i don't know of like showing like kids playing and then it's like at some point you're gonna go out and play with your friends and that'll be the last time you played with your friends in your childhood and you're like oh yeah and it's sort of the same with like comics where we all kind of were in the same circles when we were starting out at the comedy store at the improv the laugh factor wherever uh and you just see the same people over and over and over and over and over again and then all of a sudden something happens in someone's career and it takes them this way or that way and then you no longer see those people because it's probably been years since i've seen you yeah so like it's it's cool for the podcast world to be able to sit down with people that you respect and like and uh and have conversations with them yeah and and get to catch up with with people that uh you always liked even if you only ever saw them for 15 minutes in the back of comedy clubs once a week yeah um i don't know what to say after that zach do we have any other good news was there anything else that we were looking at in the news that was interesting um yeah well uh so it looks they I just tweeted this photo last night of Elon Musk is training for his fight with Mark Zuckerberg.

1:42:03I guess with Lex Friedman. That's awesome that he's training. I love it. And I really want to see this fight because it will be entertaining regardless of how good of a fight it is. I thought I read something about how Elon Musk's mom doesn't want him to fight and came out and said, like, the fight is canceled. Wow. But maybe that's fake news. I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to know these days what is news, what is being used as like a ploy to push something. I think that they'll encourage this match, Maia-Musk. Okay. Wow. Well, I think she must know that Elon, I think they say that Zuckerberg can actually compete.

1:42:55Well, you see Mark Zuckerberg, he's a light. younger than elon right he's only 5 7 now elon's 5 10 or 11 i don't know the weight difference but if you have a guy that's really strong that's small i think he's gonna defeat a guy that's weaker that's big well and also elon isn't known for being like a fighter at all and i feel like no i feel mark like trains he trains right he trains he's like he's like in the jeff uh Bezos camp of like he got rich and then now he just eats space food and treats his body like a temple. I mean Mark hasn't blinked probably since 91 or 92. Yeah I think he had the surgery.

1:43:39I mean you can see that he's writing an algorithm with his fucking eyes bro. Yeah dude he is human AI right there. It totally is. There's no doubt about it. He very much has an AI look. And Elon looks I think I just don't know how Elon wins but if Elon is low key I mean he doesn't even look like he's holding his boxing gloves correctly if you look at the boxing gloves picture that chin is way out there buddy yeah that's a great point even just right there and also the age difference that is something oh that'll wear you out but Elon has a gas tank he can stay up all night and tweet me the guy will tweet it yeah you're right He's got gas in the tank, so maybe.

1:44:24I'm excited to see it. He's also a lot heavier. It's true. So, you know. It's a good point. You just lay it on top of him. You might win. It's a good point. Yeah. I think it's just getting interesting in the world. This is the type of stuff you're starting to see. And we talked about this years ago about everything becoming WWE. You know? Everything becoming matches. It's like you have, you know, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz are going to fight. You know, you have potentially. I mean, this has potential. You know, like Dana White wouldn't waste his time. I don't think communicating with these guys. No, I mean, I want to see it.

1:44:56Like, it is weird. It sort of feels like Hunger Games or some shit. Like, where they used to make movies. In a world where the two richest men in the world just duke it out, it feels fake. And it's so weird now that if me and you wanted to just fight, we could fight and then we could like be at Staples Center fighting. When it used to be like you used to have to be a fighter, you would like have to go through training for it. It'd just be like me and you were like similarly built. It'd be like, yeah, Theo's got the reach, but Adam could get inside. And then we could be at least on an undercard.

1:45:42Yeah, we could be on an undercard. We could be on an undercard for probably like, oh, maybe who else could go? Who else would be on that card? I'd like to see Josh DeMelligan somebody. He's a big man, too. He's got that long reach. Big? Him versus Dax Shepard. Ooh. Fucking that's a bangerang right there. Oh, that's it. Yeah, we're the undercar. People are trickling in for us. Yeah, they're trickling in. Yeah, they're trickling in. They're still getting their drinks and their footlong Dodger dog. Yeah, someone's explaining to his wife who we are. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Showing clips. She's like, oh, I saw Bumper from Pitch Perfect is fighting the podcaster guy?

1:46:29Yeah, yeah. Huh. Honey, it's going to get better, honey. It's going to get better. It's going to get better. The fight will get better. It's just me and Hugh just dancing around each other. Neither of us really wants to throw a punch. You break in a... I hit you once, you break in a song. Yeah, I do a... I spin off. And then who else is on that card? Who's under us? You said Bangrang. What if you went like a Rufio type of like versus Emmanuel Lewis maybe? Was Emmanuel Lewis dead? Don't want to put that out there if he's not. Sorry. Whoever brought Pink's mom to the show, though, can throw him on stage.

1:47:05That's his promoter. There we go. Oh, no, 52. All right. Versus Rufio. So if you had them two. And we need a good female bout on the card, too. Yes, absolutely Jane Lynch Amy Schumer Ooh, I like that That's fun Jane's a little older, but she's a tall woman She's longer She looks like she could go through a fucking Yeah, she could run through a wall, that lady Oh, she looks like a wind chime That'll beat the fuck out of some music That is exactly what she looks like That was a perfect description of Jane Lynch That'd be fun, man What else? Anything else, Zach? Or do you think we covered a lot of neat stuff?

1:47:53Did we cover neat stuff, Zach? I think we covered some neat stuff Learned about piss pigs, that was informative That's so heartbreaking Yeah, we couldn't really look it up Because it is pretty pornographic Thank God And I have the blockers, too, on my phone and computer But the movie, it's July 7th That's right, July 7th, The Outlaws We want to go watch it And what do consumers need to think about when they go watch stuff and how it affects what other movies are going to be created? Because I feel like that's starting to become like – it's always been a thing. But with only so many comedies being created last year, that's unbelievable.

1:48:29It sucks, dude. It sucks. And luckily, Netflix is one of the places that is just willing to roll the dice a little more than other places because it matters so much less. like the Machine and Sebastian's movie About My Father I think the fact that they put both of those movies out on the same weekend I'm like that fucking sucks because like you're putting out six movies all year long and then you put two of them out on the same weekend and so like if you were going to go see a comedy you had to choose between these two and then when those movies only make$8 million or whatever opening weekend well you're like well if it was only the one movie maybe it could have made 14 could have made yeah 15 16 and then that's a healthy amount for it to make but right yeah so uh so yeah support if you like comedy support comedies watch it tell your friends to watch it um and then and then we'll have the opportunity to make more of them and and it used to be you know well people are like well if you made better comedies then and it's like sure but it's hard to make a movie first of all it's really hard and secondly uh there used to be like 40 shots and making a good comedy and then maybe two or three of them were a classic comedy and you're like well that old school and came out and you're like well there was 28 other movies that weren't old school that came out that year you know what i mean right so the more opportunities we have to make classic comedies the the more will be able to to nail it but i i do think outlaws uh has a potential to be one of those type of movies so i'm really proud of it do you think of um do you start to think of do creating a movie entirely of your own like or partnering with somebody and using your own like do you and doing it direct to consumer does that ever start to become a discussable model maybe not in your space i mean you're kind of a yeah just because it's the movies i want to make are usually like action comedies and they are you need money i need money like i don't have 30 million dollars of my own money to invest in the movie right uh so you got it you need a big deal yeah and you need a partner and then also like it costs a lot to promote a movie too like that's where people forget like buying tv commercials to play during basketball games and like things that people are actually watching live i cost a fortune yeah and to put billboards up and to have you you know, radio commercials and like to get the word out there.

1:51:00Like, I don't I don't have that infrastructure. So like Workaholics movie, we were going to do a Workaholics movie and we were five weeks out from shooting. You'd already written it, already written it. We're in pre-production, had offices, we're building sets, had the whole cast and crew coming back. We're going to shoot it here in L.A. Wow. And then at the top of this year, Paramount Plus said it didn't. they like went off on like you know the holiday break and when they came back they were like you know what we have a new global agenda and we don't feel that workhawks fits the global agenda and they pulled the plug from us and everyone's like just make the movie on your own and it was like we don't have that much money to you know we're not billionaires we don't have that kind of coin so like now it's just and they own the rights to it too so we couldn't even anyways so yeah we just all that work for nothing.

1:51:53How did, and that, I mean, that just goes to show you how hard it is, why people don't, I can't imagine, that movie, I can't imagine that not getting made. I can't imagine if you're going to find a brand that people love, that that would not, that they would not think that that would have an audience. It was so heartbreaking because it was, I did get to write a really funny press release, though, about just, I said butthurt like 15 times, and how butthurt I am that they pulled the plug, which it was funny to see like Variety and the Hollywood Reporter saying Adam Devine says he's very butthurt that Paramount Plus canceled the Workaholics movie.

1:52:32But they like were gassing us up. They're like, this is the home for Workaholics. We want to build out the Workaholics universe. Yeah. And they're like, we want to do like a spinoff show that you guys executive produce. Maybe we do an animated project. we'll do the movie like we want your brand of comedy to live on Paramount Plus and we're like thank God like we have a home base that we could just go to we can make all of our stuff there we can yeah people love it we can keep the workaholics family alive like so many friends and you know people that worked on the show that that would like that was going to be their opportunity and then they just pulled the rug out from us so God super butthurt about it but um anything else is that anything that's unreal man yeah it just shows you how hard it is to get something past I just like do people not it's almost like if it doesn't have global power if they don't think it can sell if it can sell tickets to everywhere well see that was weird is like I've been in the Amazon jungle I've been up the Amazon and we stayed in a little hut and the guy who uh was like in charge of feeding us his teenage son knew workaholics was a fan i've been in germany just like walking along the fucking berlin wall and people are stopping me saying they love workaholics i'm like it was pretty global yeah like as far as a you know kind of a cult comedy show goes i'm like it wasn't like it was it wasn't like a hundred million dollar marvel movie yeah so i don't get it but you know i feel like they're really trying to figure out what they're doing over there at paramount plus and they they have not fully figured it out it's okay it's so on it's so it feels so weird to know is how people who are making the choices don't don't have a real understanding of what's going on or what they or what the zeitgeist of like what people think is funny is yeah well i think it was like it because comedy central hit and it was people of a certain age right that really loved it that they were like just got out of college or were still in high school or like maybe even a little bit older than that that were like oh yeah that was just like me when i was in college or kids that were younger that were like oh wow that seems crazy yeah uh like when i have my first jobs i hope me and my friends still live with each other and party yeah boy party all the time uh and then i think like they're like people who had kids that were the right age know about workaholics because they're like oh my my teenage sons loved workaholics and i think it was just like the generation the kid the guys that are in charge now didn't have their kids were too young so they didn't know fuck and i think it was just we missed that window i think what a fuck hat it's all right things are going well yeah things are going well right yeah but it is interesting to hear about that dude the other night after a show this guy this mexican kid uh this guy at the show he's a mexican guy he comes up and he's like this is the craziest request ever got he goes hey bro can you make a video for my cousin oscar and i was like yeah man what do you want me to say and he's like uh he got possessed by ghosts that's what he said right yeah not joking yeah he's like oh he got possessed by ghosts man so just fucking tell him something positive so just try to um exercise his demons yeah i was like uh oscar homie we miss you homie come back to the light i didn't know what to say bro but that was probably one of the craziest requests that i've gotten from somebody so funny um oh dude in germany one time we're biking on the thing we're biking somewhere some guys in a park had a wiener on him i mean a real fucking um like a dachshund you know what i'm saying he had that fucking that thing would go get the paper yeah the long long thick yeah he really had fucking i don't know he did it but he somebody he did it and uh he was swinging it like a rope in the fucking park as you have to if you got a thing like that you gotta swing it that's true huh yeah and it's also germany they don't even care.

1:56:50That's just an afternoon there. Right. We were shocked. Other people were literally splitting up a, you know, maybe a little, cutting up a kiwi right next to it and having like a little lunch. Yeah. It's fine. That's just an afternoon for them. Yeah. Just a German afternoon, brother. Sprech the Deutsch. Wiedersehen. Wiedersehen. Adam Devine. Thank you, brother. Thanks, Theo. Good to see you, dude. You too, man. Hell yeah.

1:57:20I must be cornerstone Oh, but when I reach that ground I'll share this peace of mind I found I can feel it in my bones But it's gonna take
