•Mar 27, 20262 months agoSummary
Adam Devine discusses his comedy career, the Workaholics TV series, his role in Pitch Perfect, and personal life including how he met his wife on a plane. He shares insights on dating, confidence, and navigating fame while maintaining authenticity in comedy.
Insights
- Confidence and success come from accepting that most people aren't thinking about your mistakes—they're focused on themselves, reducing social anxiety
- Physical comedy and unique body proportions can become a career foundation when leveraged authentically rather than hidden
- Improv training and community college comedy classes serve as effective talent pipelines for discovering comedic talent
- The entertainment industry's content standards have become more restrictive over time, making edgy comedy harder to produce
- Authentic connection (meeting spouse on plane, not through dating apps) can lead to stronger relationships than transactional dating

Full Transcript
I have to tell you, I was a huge Maroon 5 fan, and I'm glad that you agreed to sit down with me today and discuss the scandal surrounding the infidelity in your marriage. How many times did you cheat with women that you met on Instagram? Zero times! It's Adam Devine, not Adam Levine. Thank fucking God. Thank fucking God. What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Are you taller than me? What's going on? Your legs are longer than mine. This is the thing on Instagram. Everyone thinks that I'm like six feet, and then they meet me in person and they're like, why are you so short? And I'm like, first of all, fuck off. You're appropriately sized. You're a great size. But I'm like, why? That's the first thing people say to me. But then look at where your foot is dangling right now. I have long legs. Yeah, and see, look at my little... No, you're taller than me, but my legs are long. That's fair to say, right? I've got a weird shaped, like my torso is the exact same length as my legs. Can you do this? Like that's not even like flexibility. Wait. Yeah, but see how that was kind of... Call her daddy. Wait, that's great. That's a good trick. I'm going to start asking people. Also, you did that very quickly. Yeah, it's like, do you do that often? It's all my whole career is based on me doing that. They're like, you're a physical comedian. I'm like, no, my body is shaped weird. It's funny. You look at me and you laugh because you're like, that's off. What's going on? It's like a human cartoon. I think you look great today. Thank you. I wore my fancy jacket. It looks really nice. I asked my wife, I'm like, should I like, like dress nice? And she's like, no, you could be casual. And then I like wore what I was wearing. And she was like, maybe no, wear something else. I was in sweatpants. Put a jacket on. No, I think you look great. I love your watch. The whole thing's going great. Thanks. Thanks. Okay, so we're going to get into it. Okay. Okay, here we go. I'm going to just do this little intro that the world needs. Okay. Adam, welcome to call her daddy. Okay. Oh, I thought we were doing the Adam Levine bit. No, but I thought for a second you're going to say thank you. I don't know why. And that lap that little like was like so creepy with the straw. Okay, I'm going to start over. Here we go. Adam, welcome to call her daddy. Thank you. I just have to tell you that I was a huge maroon fighter. I was a huge maroon five fan and I'm really glad that you decided to sit down with me today and talk about the scandal surrounding the infidelity in your marriage. How many times did you cheat on your wife with women that you met on Instagram? Zero times. It's Adam divine, not Adam Levine. Thank fucking God. Thank fucking God. Adam, welcome to call her daddy. One fucking letter. One letter. It's so close. I actually, I met Adam Levine once at a party and yeah, I'm cool like that. And it was a whole Halloween party. I was dressed as a wizard. So it wasn't me being cool at all. I'm like, I'm like a wizard with like a wizard staff of like beer cans taped together, you know. Love that. And I go up to him. I was all excited and was like, Adam Levine, I'm Adam divine. He's like, yeah, no, I know. And I'm like, I get Adam Levine all the time on Twitter where people are like at me, Adam divine, but then say is so hot shirtless singing on. So like, I just went to his concert and I'm like, it happens to me all the time. I'm sure you get me sometimes too on Twitter, right? And he goes, literally never, literally never. I'm like, okay, never, not even one time. And he's like, mm-mm. So he is a fucking dick. No, I love that. Sort of habit like, but also invite me back to the Halloween party. You're like, I will come back as a wizard. Do you think actually people thought that it was you in that situation? Like it wasn't that's I like post. I would never I'm not big into like inserting myself into someone else's drama. I'm like, this guy is already going through it. And so I was like steering clear. And then like, like news organizations. I forget what it was. It was like the Baltimore, like their local news, their headline was Adam divine. Cheats on pregnant wife and said Adam divine. And then I was getting so many people that were just DMing me being how fucking dare you. And then you look at their page and I'm like, this person does not follow me. They have no, they are not workaholic fans. They have not seen my movies. Like they truly were a Maroon five fan and now hate me on accident. Like somehow clicked the wrong thing. And so it had I was getting legitimately hundreds of DMs. And did your wife at all be like, give me your fucking phone. Just let me check. Let me just check this out. The name is too close. Like it could be you too. Dude, that's so fucking crazy because I remember when you posted the Instagram and the caption and it was just brilliant of you to just be like, Hey, just so you know, like we're good over here. My wife and I are happy. I'm not cheating. Yeah, I guess I am a comedic genius. Yeah, you're pretty good. You're not bad. I probably shouldn't have given you a straw. Yeah, too much too much work. I'm doing over there. I am really happy that you're here. I think that you are extremely funny. I think you're very unique in Hollywood. Your humor is amazing. And I'm very happy you're here and not Adam Levine. Thanks, Alex. You grew up in Nebraska. I did. I've never been to Nebraska. Most people have it. Okay. What is a stereotype that people in Nebraska have that you think you defy? I feel like Nebraska is like it's such like a flyover state. Like I feel like if you're not from there, you just haven't been there. So there's like no stereotypes. People are just like Nebraska. Huh. Wow. I've never really. Huh. So there's no stereotypes. So I feel like when they meet me, they're like, that's what you look like. Yeah. Well, I mean, I feel like I look like I'm from Nebraska. I'm like, you're like, yeah, this guy eats steak. He eats corn a lot. You could tell he, he isn't off the carbs. He's full carb loading on with baked potatoes on the reg. Right. Like a white guy from Nebraska. Yeah. They're like, he puts real butter on his potatoes. You know what? That's a really great way to explain it because I wasn't, I'm, I think I, as I was thinking about this question, that's exactly what I was wanting you to tell me something that I didn't know about Nebraska. Cause I'm like, I don't know much. Yeah. We're just a, we're a sturdy people heart, you know, salt of the earth. I think they say, I don't know what that phrase means, but I love it though. We're going to go with it. Do you think that there's like an accent happening there that we don't know about like a Nebraska accent? Uh, no, people in Nebraska think that our accent is like flat. But when I moved to California for the first time, I was on some like head shop on Hollywood Boulevard being like, you can just buy pipes. What? This is crazy. And, uh, and the guy behind the counter was like, where are you from? So I think I must have had an accent. I don't think I have much of one anymore. What do you think? I can hear like a tiny twang, but what I, I am from a little twang, like a little, like it's not Southern. It's not, it's something it's unique. Yeah. A little, a little salt and pepper. Exactly. The salt and pepper meat and potatoes vibe. I'm from Philadelphia. Mm hmm. Outside of it though. And I'm just so happy that I don't have the Philly accent. Do you know the Philly accent? It's atrocious. Yeah. So I'm glad you don't have it. No, I don't know. I don't know if I could do a Philly accent, but I will say that Philly, I've had a great, I've done awesome shows there and I've had a great times there, but it was one of the few places, Boston's kind of like this too, where people just like want to fight you. Like it was like right when workaholics just came out. So we were like newly famous or whatever. And we like went there on some sort of tour and this guy, we're like, genos or pads, cheese steaks, like what, we're going to try both. And we're eating there and some guy was like, fuck you, you think you're cool, huh? Oh, fucking Mr. Hollywood. And I'm like, I'm going to have to fight a man. You're like, I just wanted a cheese. Yeah. Hi sir. And I'm not like a confrontational guy. I'm like, I got to put up my Dukes. I'm like, do I call them Dukes? I don't know. I'm going to get my ass kicked by this guy. You're so accurate. Number one, let me just proclaim this so that no one in Philly hates me now and comes for me. I've had a great time there. Love. Aggressive, aggressive people. The fans are so aggressive. Yeah. I grew up, my dad worked for the Philadelphia Flyers. Oh, cool. And so I would always go to these hockey games. And after every game or in the middle of the games, I would always be asking my parents, like, why is everyone so angry? Like we're even winning. Like, why are we angry? Now they're losing all the time and it's like, not they're really angry. But it's such an aggressive mentality and it's a little scary. But what's scarier is, yes, the accent. Like, do you know what we call water? I have like water. Water. Water with a D. I'm going home to drink some water. You're going home to drink some water. Going home to drink some water. No eagles. Yeah, I think in Omaha, we don't say water. We say water. It's not great. We say, we do say, like, mom. Oh. Like, mom. Dad. Mom. So it's like a mouth opening. Yeah, it's like, like, vowels just like fall out of your mouth. Like, yeah. Okay, but at least you're enunciating. You know what I mean? Like, that's a little bit better. So, Philly, love you all. Shout out. But if you say water, it's fucking water. Yeah. So, I think what I love about you is that you do seem like you are entirely, like, open about just putting yourself out there. Like, you don't give a shit what people think. So can you give us some advice for someone that's listening that's like introverted, shy, a little insecure? Like, how do you get to a place where you're like, I don't give a fuck what people think about me. I'm just going to do what I do. I, I, you know, I tell, I'm always given advice. No. But I feel like it just nothing matters. Oh, it just doesn't matter. Like it doesn't. I would say 99.5% of the time, it just doesn't matter. Like what that person thinks of you, they're not thinking about what you just said. Like they will you, my wife does this all the time, or she'll say something. And then like, I, she's like tossing and turning and she can't sleep. And I'm like, what's going on over there? I'm like, are you okay? Are you having like night convulsions? And she's like, no, I said this thing that I shouldn't have said. And then I'm like, what? And then she'll tell me and I'm like, Oh, they don't, they're not thinking about that even a little bit. Like they, no one thinks about anyone else. We're only thinking about ourselves all the time. So fucking true. Yeah. Listen, I love men, I love women, I love everyone, but women do have a tendency a little bit more to like overanalyze, which I think can be a superpower at times. They're smarter. Yeah. We're smarter. We're more tuned in. We should run the world. However, it can be a deficit when we're up at night, my boyfriend does the same thing. He's like, your legs are now like twitching. Like just tell me what happened. I don't know what to do with my legs. You're literally like, um, is this a comfortable? Can I tell you something? My wife is going to watch this podcast and be tossing and turning and be like, and I'm like, what's wrong? And she's like, your legs, what were you saying with those legs? What my legs? Let me just clarify. So you feel better. This chair, these chairs are 87 inches deep. There, there's a full on grown man laying down level deep. They have caused such issues. And I, this is the issue. I think that all the fans watching fucking love them. I always get, where'd you get the chairs? Where'd you get the chairs? I want the chairs. When you're in person, when you're in person, you can't imagine a woman in a skirt and heels. That's the moment where I say, I'm sorry. Yes. You, you're going to figure it out. You got your pants on. Yeah, I am wearing pants. This is good. I've been a nude in a film before. So I'm perfectly okay. I just want you to know if you squirm around. No one's judging you because this is, this is, we're moving chairs. We're moving houses actually, but we're also leaving these chairs behind. Okay, I'll take them. Okay. Oh, okay. Okay, great. Um, let's talk about workaholics. Okay. To anyone that hasn't watched it, you live under a rock. It's about three dudes in their twenties that live together and work together. How did you meet your co-stars and who came up with the premise of the show? Uh, well, I met Blake and Kyle who played Carl, our drug dealer on the show who ended up directing most of our episodes. We met in improv class at a community college at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California. That's dope. Yeah. And we was like day one of improv class and at the time Blake, he has this like long cool dude hair and he had this like tiny little fro and in high school, they called him Afro fetus because he was so skinny with this tiny little Afro and he really has blossomed as he's gotten older because he's like considered like hot boy now. But he was only his buck back then. I'm looking at you, Blake. And uh, and I just thought he was so funny. So afterwards it was weird because it was like I was sort of like hitting on my friend, you know, where like I remember like my other buddy was like, what's going on over there? Cause I came up to him with a little nervous. I was like, Hey, what's up? Uh, if you'd be down for it, uh, it'd be cool if perhaps me and you could get together and write some comedy bits together and Blake site. Yeah, I think that'd be cool, man. You know, and, uh, and then I moved up to California, up to LA from Orange County about a year later and met Anders at the second city, uh, which is a improv school. I can imagine being in an improv class. There's some characters in there. Like did you, do you think you thrived in improv class or did you keep to yourself a little bit there? I kept to myself a little bit. I mean, like because I would say that like improv classes are weird. Have you ever taken one? I kind of did in college, but that wasn't even a fucking thing. Yeah. I took a lot, especially when I was like, uh, like 18, 19, and there's always like a businessman who's just like the funny guy in the office. And then there's like 12 true lunatics who are just like the psychotic aunt who's just like, they say I'm funny. And you're like, yeah, my God, lady. And then there's, uh, like maybe two normal people who you'll end up seeing later on in life. I know like, uh, like Eric Andre was in an improv class of mine back in the day. And then all the workaholics guys and Jillian Bell, who was on workaholics I knew from improv classes and stuff like that. So you can find little diamonds in the rough. There's on the periphery or like, I want to stay away from that person. That person's insane. Yeah. There's always like a few people that you can tell aren't lunatics who are actually trying to figure out how to make this into a profession. So you come up with the show and it's fucking hilarious. Is there ever a point I'm thinking of like you guys then are friends and you're filming as friends. Was there ever a point in like a joke or a scare or something happening where you guys took it too far and like you couldn't air it? No, there was never like we couldn't air it. Comedy Central, especially back then was like really, uh, really cool and open and down. I feel like we might not be able to get away with everything because things are a little touchier now. Like we did one bit where Carl, the drug dealer, um, was sick of his penis and he wanted to remove it because it gets him in all the trouble in his life and they were really worried about us being like transphobic or something. And we're like, well, it's not about that. He just doesn't want to have his penis. And that was like a real battle that we had for a while. We ended up winning and the show was very funny. We did another episode where, um, we go to our neighbor's house and they're having a pride party and we think it's pride fighting like UFC, like pride fighting. Uh, but they're a group of gay men having a pride party and we go there and then, uh, we get blackout drunk and we pass out and we wake up in the end their bed and I wake up and I think I have jizz on my face and I'm like, Oh my God. Uh, I think we fucked each other. And then the two gay guys are like, you guys were really, you guys were going at each other. You guys were fucking each other a lot last night. And so we go through that entire episode and we like are reeling with this. And then at the end of the day, we're like, I'm glad if I were to fuck a man, it was you and we're together and we're like, and we're together. And then we go back to that to him and we're like wearing rainbow shirts now and we're like, we're out and we're proud. We fuck each other now. And, uh, the guy's like, Oh, we were kidding with you. It was toothpaste. We put on your face and we're like, was it? I wonder why my jizz was minty fresh. And then we were like, if that's pushing the envelope, you know, but we like were up for a glad award. They like loved the episode. Yeah. With like the bro culture in the show, I personally find it very funny of how you guys like take it right to the edge in moments. And I do think that's hard to do though. The hardest part was like, it's sort of based on our actual personalities, like our characters. And then there's, it's just taken to 12, you know. So every once in a while, it'd be like, Duris is pitching a joke and you're like, well, Adam is a fucking idiot. And like also like egotistical and but also kind of a bitch. So I think he would say, and I'm like, yeah, well, Anders has a stick up his ass and he thinks he's better than everyone else. And the character though, the character. Did you guys get in a lot of fights or no? No, not really. I mean, we're kind of we're brothers, I feel. So like we get in fights, but at the end of the day, you're like, all right, should we go get milkshakes or whatever, whatever fat kid thing we're about to go do. Yes. You you basically booked Pitch Perfect around the time that you were filming Workaholics, right? That's right. Yeah. What was the audition process like for Pitch Perfect? Where were you at in your life? Like, how did it all come to be? I was shooting the second season of Workaholics and like Workaholics had just come out and like it kind of clicked right away when it came out. And I was like, I don't want to do an acapella. Well, at first I didn't know and I thought it was a baseball movie. They sent me the sides and it's Pitch Perfect. And I was like, you know, I don't have time to go audition right now. Like I'm doing my show and it was really precious about Workaholics. And they're like, just go, the producers like you, just go. So I went on my lunch break from Workaholics and like went down and auditioned and I thought it was a baseball movie and I see all these hot ass dudes singing. And I'm like, you're not going to get the baseball movie singing fucking pussy. You know, and then I go in and it turns out it's not a baseball movie at all. And I had to then I'm quickly learning the sides and I'm like, oh, this isn't baseball at all. And I go in and I do the audition and they asked me what song I prepared. And I didn't prepare a song. So I'm like, I didn't prepare a song. Take it or leave it and they're like, leave it. Well, you have to sing. It's a singing movie. And I'm like, and so I sing whatever pops into your head. And the first song swear to God that popped into my head was a whatever happened to predictability, the milkman, the paper boy, the heathen and TV, which is the full house theme song. And they're like, well, they loved it. And I left and my agent calls was like, what do you think? And I'm like, I don't know. I morphed into like an 80 year old jazz singer. Like I don't think I'm going to get the I'm not because we have to sing like Rihanna and shit. I'm like, I didn't prove that I can sing. And then I know, well, get him next time. And then I got it. The fact that in a moment of like kind of crisis, the first thing that popped to your fucking head was full house. Go. Yeah, it was just like they're just like sings to whatever popped into your head. And I'm like, do be the dot dot. I will say, though, that was like very accurate. Yeah, I do a good. I do. I mean, I do a lot of whoever that man is. Wow. Okay. So that's also great that you thought it was a baseball movie. I did. Yeah. We're learning that I don't really read my emails. Yeah. I sort of just. Yeah. Read the headline and go, got it. I think it goes to my sort of mantra of nothing matters. And it's fine. Yeah, everyone that's going to get a job, don't prepare. Just like going it. Hey, I've never prepared a day in my life. And look where the fuck you are, Adam. And I'm wearing a suede jacket. You know, it's fucking crazy. That was like, did you? It looks great. Yeah, I think it's. Did you know that you were passionate about singing in acapella before Pitch Perfect? I'm not. I'm not passionate about singing or acapella. I know I'm like, I still don't consider myself a singer. I'm just like. Good at it. Like I can just do it. Got it. So like I don't, you know, some people like are just like can just like they're just naturally a good dancer. They like I can just sing, which by the way was so funny. I've always known I could sing. I've had like choir teachers in high school be like, you should join the swing choir. And I'm like, I want girls to like me. I'm like, no, thank you. And. I called my dad when I booked Pitch Perfect. I'm like, dad, I booked this like studio movie, Universal's making it. And he's like, oh my God, yeah, man, nice. So what is it? And I go, it's called Pitch Perfect. He's like, baseball movie, cool. And I'm like, not a baseball movie. It is it's a singing acapella movie. And he goes, but you can't sing worth shit. And I go, yeah, I can sing. I'm a good I'm a pretty good singer. And he goes, bullshit. I'm like, all right, well, I'm going to do in this move. And he goes, I'd find a way to get out of that one. I'm like, I'm I'm doing it. I'm gonna do it. Okay. Note to self, never listen to dad. And it's also very interesting that you knew that you were good at singing, but you're not like you're not like singing around the house to your wife. No. OK, but what would be your go to karaoke song? Full house. I don't like karaoke really. Really? Because I'm like what I do for work is perform. So then when I'm not working, I don't want to then go work. OK, that to me is what that is. Now, now sometimes I could be like three a.m. And we're at someone's house and they bust out a karaoke machine. I'll get up there and try to sing. Don't stop believing or some bullshit. But like I'm not going to just you're not going to do it. Yeah, you are here to perform today. I'm well through this is work. OK, great. Paying me and what? What the fuck? There's more in there. There's more in there. Just keep pouring. OK, so last month, because I was going to say this and you know what? You can deny me, but I'm just going to say it anyways. Last month or two months ago, we had John Mayeron and he did kind of like a Christmas song, right? Giving us a little Christmas cheer. So I was wondering if you would be interested in auditioning for the call her daddy fourth of July song episode. All right, here we go. OK, silence. Quite quiet. Proud to be an American, because at least I know I'm free. Won't you want to stand up next to you and red, white and blue? Grilling burgers on the grill. A bushlight for me and you. Which essentially is a American. Yeah, I really love the trucks. Golden retrievers lifted trucks. A lot of trucks, a lot of trucks should have stopped earlier. That was fucking phenomenal. You got the job. I think I was the only one to audition for it. I'm going to go through a list of some like random topics that are happening in the world right now. OK, and I want your take on them. OK, yes. OK, number one, telling your friend that you don't like their partner. I don't do it. OK, yeah, don't just don't do it. You might lose your friend forever. But what they're going to do is I've done this before where they like left their partner and you're like, thank God, she sucked, dude. And then they get back together and then they get married and you're like, I was kidding. Dude, I'm a comedian. What? Never invited over the house. What do you think about BDE? I have MDE. Medium Dick Energy, a big dick too much. That seems too much. It's a little too much to handle. It's a lot on the plate. You have to schedule it. You've got to think about it. I'm working with my MDE, so that's what I'm really pushing. I'm selling it. I'm like a like a telemarketer. I think that's the title of this episode. Adam Devine. MDE. MDE. Yeah. I think it's great. OK, what do you think about Roadhead? Did not done enough in my life. It's not done enough. You would like that. I mean, no, the older I get, the more I'm like, it's and then like where are we cleaning up? Like, and then it's more for the thrill of it. Yeah, like as I've gotten older, it's less appealing, but every once in a great while. It could be a fun. Spice it up. Yeah. What's your take on Pete Davidson? I love Pete. I know Pete. OK, I had him I on Adam Devine's House Party, which was a standup show I did for Comedy Central and we had him season one. He was 19 and I'm like, this kid must have a huge cock. Just something about him. He's wiry. Those long, wiry guys sometimes got a big old Wang. I do. And then that was kind of the whole topic of conversation on set. Like we're all staring at this young boy. Gageen, the size of his Johnson. How do you feel about talking to your Uber drivers? It's a slippery slope. I've had a Uber driver who realized who I was and drove me to their house. What? Because it was on the way to my house. I'm not really knowing where we're going because I'm in a new city. It was a house that I rented. So I'm like kind of zoning out in the back and we pull up and her family comes out. And I'm like, where are we? I look up from my phone and she's just like, you don't mind me. And I'm like, oh, you can't say yes, because you're stuck there at their house now. So you're like, no. So I'm then I get out of the car, a photo op. One of their neighbors comes over. I take photos with them and their family. And then I get back in the car and she takes me to my house now. And then when we pull up, she goes, hmm, so this is where you live. So it can really turn sideways on you. Yeah. Were you terrified to sleep that night? It was weird because her husband was like he was giving like method energy. He was like, yeah, man. Oh, yeah. And so I'm like, that's a lot. I don't know. A little too much. Yeah. I was like covering up my watch. I'm like, no. She's like, sure as a nice house, you're renting. You're like, any valuables in there? No, no valuables here. You're like, I'm only here for actually a couple hours. I'm moving locations. I'm actually moving houses to a small whole studio apartment. Holy, that's a fucking weird one. Yeah. OK. What do you think about the band Maroon five? Fuck you, Adam Levine. But you have to at least admit that one song slaps of like, she will. Oh, no, no, no, no, keep going. No, no, you're good. This is good. I can't sing. It's a banger. Yeah, that one is that theirs? Yeah. And yeah. And yeah, there he's I mean, the guy's really talented at many things. How do you feel about sex on the first date? It must. A must. You have to do it. Right. Yeah, it's like it's like opening the door for someone. You're like, you have to see, like, are they polite? Are they good in bed? You have to check it out. Yeah. That I really appreciate that take. That's a unique one. I don't know if we've ever had someone say that on Caller Daddy before. I'm here for for first. I can already see the headline. Yeah. Adam Devine says sex on the first date is a must. It's like opening the door. Yeah. Rape question mark. Is he gets really good spin out of control? What the? Adam, what did you say? My publicist just calls me shaking. I don't know. I love that you showed up alone here. Yeah, what am I going to do? Yeah, show up with what you know, I worked at the improv comedy club when I was like 20 to like 22. And all the coolest guys showed up alone. The like really famous guys and they'd show up with like a gang of people they were less cool. But like Chris Rock, who's one of the most famous comedians, would show up just by himself. And I was like, that's that's how I someday I'll be like that. OK, this is Caller Daddy, Adam. So we have to talk about your dating. We have to call our fathers. OK. OK. Once you moved to Los Angeles, how was the dating scene here for you before you got famous? I didn't. Well, I really I started doing stand up in comedy when I was 18 and I'm convinced I wouldn't have ever gotten a date or laid or anything if it wasn't for comedy. Just because I'm not I never was like the type of guy to be up and like lick my lips and do a squinny eye thing and like do this a lot. Which like all my guy friends who are really good at being like, yo, what's up? What are you guys doing over here? Like that are like morph into that person. They were it was working for them. I can do an impression of me doing that. But then it but then it's like as soon as I have to talk to them normally, they're like, there's a different guy in there. That's not the cool, squinny, licking lips guy. Right. Right. That was actually a great impression. Thanks. I think it was better than I've ever seen the actual originals. Oh, yeah. But have you seen those Tik Tok kids with the swoopy hair when they go like? How do you feel about boys dancing? I don't know. And then the swoop of the hair. Oh, how do you feel? It's weird. It's like a totally different thing because like that wouldn't have like maybe times are better or definitely times are weirder. Like because when I was in high school, that wouldn't have flown even a little bit. Like you had to keep you couldn't be doing that shirtless with a group of friends and posting it somewhere and not getting like major backlash from that. So like kind of cool that kids are so comfortable being like super cringy and weird on the internet that it's. But for sure, they're going to look back at that in like four years and be like, oh, Jesus Christ, I'm trying to like get a job now. And they're like future employer looks and they're like, oh, you were the squinny eyed licking lip elbows out doing weird dance. Tik Tok dance, kid. You're hired. You're a genius. My God, you're plugged in. I agree with you. I don't think that I think I would have found that like so unattractive if a guy at my school was doing that. Yeah, but but you're not 16 now. So maybe if you were 16 now, you'd be like, oh my God, Caleb and Skyler and Chance, Tim Chance, Tim. Yeah. Is that a Nebraska? No, it has to be a name of some kid now. You know, someone made that poor choice and neither get chance. And then we're like, and it's not original enough. Add a tin to it. Chance. Chance. Tin. Hey, all the chance tins listen, you know, there's like a dozen chance tins that are listening right now, like, oh, shit, they're talking about me. With her tiny little butthole mouse. Oh, my God, what? You're talking about me on call of her daddy. What the fuck is this? You've seen those Tik Tok dances, right? Where they're like, is that the move? Yeah. Are you on Tik Tok a lot? No, I've only I only see. Well, by the way, I feel like I'm not on it enough for the algorithm to know me. So I've I've been on it like two or three times and every time I'm like, yeah. It's too much. But I want to because my Instagram algorithm is embarrassing. What is it? It's just like my wife is like, Jesus Christ. When she sees my like page, it's just like. Swollen beefcake dudes. What? Just from like working out tips. So like I look at so like this is like I steal workouts from like these beefy hunky dudes, right? Because I'm like, oh, it would be kind of cool to look sort of like that. You're the dream, though, Adam, because most girls are like taking the guy's phone and be like, there's like hot girls with bikinis. Your wife is like, Adam, again, like you're looking at this guy and he's like, so bad. Yeah, but then she has like nightmares that I'm like secretly a gay man. So like there is a downside to me looking at oiled ups. Right, like it could be slightly questionable. Yeah, yeah. But then you have the MDE. So she's like, actually, yes, she's fine. Your wife is sending. How did you guys meet and how did you ask her out? We met on a plane. We met on an airplane. We sat next to each other. The only way I can meet a beautiful woman like my wife would be she has to sit next to me for four hours. That's good. Yeah. And I didn't have to lick my lips even once. No, we were flying to New Orleans and like we've stated earlier, I don't read emails, so I didn't know that we were in the same movie. And so we were sitting next to each other. She recognizes me. I don't know her. I just think she's a beautiful woman sitting next to me. I have a girlfriend at the time. I'm actively not trying to talk to this girl. I'm like, so she keeps chatting on me. And I'm like, God, am I hot as shit today? Like what is happening? Like why is she all into me? And I'm like, God, man. And so I play fruit ninja on my iPad for four hours straight. My hands hurt from just swiping, doing combos with fruit. And she was like, oh, this guy. And then we landed. And then I see they like the guy with the sign with your name on it, the driver went at baggage claim and she has one too. And then my friend Nina Dobrev, who's also in the movie, who I know her and and she had a sign and I'm like, oh, we're all in this movie together. And Chloe Bridge is my wife was like, yeah, what did you think? And I'm like, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. And I felt embarrassed. I'm like, let's all just ride in the same car together and get to know each other. Go into Baton Rouge because we were shooting in Baton Rouge. And it's like a 45 minute drive from New Orleans. And we go and Chloe's from New Orleans and she goes, let's get drive through Dakarys, which is a thing there. My God, you think you're there? Yeah, it's the best. And we went through and like Nina, to her credit, was like playing it cool. It was like, I'll take a couple of little sample sizes, see, see what I like, you know? And so she has like a few little ones that she's sipping. And then Chloe goes, I'll take the 38 ounce party starter. And I'm like, I'm like, I love this girl. Yeah. We, and so then when did you break up with that past girlfriend? A few weeks later. And then, and then we started to date, but I hadn't been single in like years. So then I like was single for a while and felt like I had to be single. And then after like, however many months, six months or something, Chloe was like, you either have to call me your girlfriend or we have to stop doing this. And I'm like, OK, and you're my girlfriend. OK. You're like, I knew when you got that drink in the car, it was over for me. Got the party starter. What a legend. Yeah. When you guys moved in together, did you have to kick any like gross habits that you had? There was some weird conversations because I was given a lot of stuff from workaholics like that people just send. I'm sure you get stuff sent to you all the time. Right. And so like weird stuff. So like a fleshlight, the like the it's like molded after like porn stars, vaginas or whatever sent me 25 of them. So I didn't know what to do with them. So for a while, I was like giving them away as like kind of gag gifts. But then I like gave like two or three away. And then like I was like, I don't want to be known as the fleshlight guy who just has like a treasure trove of these. So then I just stuck it in a closet. But like they're all insane fleshlights. They're like alien fleshlights. And yeah, like alien vaginas and like and like monster pussies and like the weirdest things. So I it's in my closet and I came home one day and she was like kind of being weird. And I'm like, what's up? And she's like, I think I have to talk to you. I'm like, why what's going on? And she's like, what's do you have like a thing for aliens? And I'm like, what? And she's like, do you like are you in a monsters? And I'm like, what are you talking? You're weird to me right now. And then she pulled out like 15 alien pussies. And I'm like, I can see how this looks weird. She's like, this is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. And then she's like, well, let's let's throw them away. And I'm like, we should keep two for not for use. They could keep them in the box, but like they are hilarious. Right. Just in case. Just in case you need to bust it out of party or you meet someone who you're like, this would be the funniest gift for them. I agree. So you kept them too. We kept an alien and a monster. Did you ever give them away? We still have them. I should have brought them here. We're going to transition from your real real wife to your work wife, Rebel Wilson. Yep. She's coming here on Monday. Oh, really? Yeah. It's going to be very fun. You guys have such a good dynamic. Like I was watching this morning, the scene where you're like, maybe we should like make out and she's like, yeah, sometimes I think about doing heroin. And then I'm like, eh, better not. Whatever. Yeah. And it's like you guys have a great dynamic. Did you guys ever get to like Adlib in that movie at all together? Most of, I mean, K.K. And enrolled like an amazing script, so I'm not taking anything away. But all of my lines were no. But I rewrote the whole thing. No, we improv quite a bit and actually like our love connection, like me and Rebels love connect, we improv that. And so then as we were shooting, they're like, that's kind of funny. Get put them together. And and then it ended up being like a bigger, bigger story. So fucking good. OK, so my idea was this. Rebels coming on and I'm going to have her do the same thing. I want you, if you can, to impersonate Rebels. And then I'm going to have her impersonate you. Oh, that's so hard. Is it so hard? Because have you ever tried to do an Australian accent? Fuck no, I don't do impersonation. It's so hard to do. Is it too hard? I mean, it might be. I feel like she's just going to be like, I'm out of my mind. Just with like weird energy just bouncing all over the place. Yeah, no, I mean. No. Adam, no. Oh, no, I feel like that's the only word I could say in Australian speak. They say like no with an R. OK, I got it. OK. Hello. It's sort of British. Hello. It's me, Rebel Wilson. I'm the lead singer of the Beatles. I can't do it. Alex, I can't. No, it's so good. It's so good. It's so good. I literally I was trying to do it earlier and I was like, that's why she's iconic. I can't do it. Hello. I'm Rebel Wilson. I'm the I'm I play bass in Oasis. And she's Australian. She's not even from England, but I don't know how to do English. I can't do Australian. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. I cannot thank you for coming on enough. Let me ask you, what are you doing next? Because I know you obviously have your podcast, but are you doing any new film? This is important. Check it out. Our podcast I do with the Workhawks guys. It's great. It's super fun. Yeah, I'm doing I'm doing a season two of bumper in Berlin, the spin off series that that I'm doing for Peacock. That's a spin off of my character from Pitch Perfect. And season one is super fun. It's on Peacock now and then we're doing a second season with a Jamila Jamil and Sarah Highland, who was my co-star in modern family and then flew LeBorg who's super funny. And then I was going to do a Workhawks movie, but then Paramount Plus pulled the plug. So I saw that that really fucking set. And it's okay. And legally, I can't talk shit. Right. Right. You just look at the camera and start sobbing. Legally. Right. Adam, thank you so much for coming on call her daddy. Thanks. That was very fun. Thank you. I thought so too. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks.
