00:00We are back here live, Radio Row in New Orleans. Adam Devine joins us here on Sports Grid.
00:07Adam, how's it going, man?
00:08Good, man. I've been here. I was the first person walking in this building today.
00:12Are you used to the early call?
00:14You know, as an actor, you do have some mad early calls, and that's hands down the worst part of the job.
00:21Everything else is pretty damn cool, but yeah, it's been fun.
00:25You know, you're just talking football, and my Super Bowl spot, Circle Water, so that's just been top of mind today.
00:34Is this your first Radio Row?
00:36Yeah, I did it when the Super Bowl was in New York.
00:39Long time ago.
00:40Long time ago now, so this is much more fun, and a whole better setup. New Orleans was built for this.
00:46Absolutely. How does this compare to a normal press junket for you?
00:51I would say this is more fun because people are asking different questions, and you're not just talking about specifically the one thing.
00:58Yes, I'm talking about the Super Bowl spot that I'm doing, but I'm talking a lot about football and my love of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
01:07It's been pretty fun.
01:09The Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Scott Frost years weren't great.
01:13No.
01:14The second time around.
01:16When he was a player, it was fantastic, but no, it was really bad, dude.
01:22I don't know what was happening.
01:24We were like, it's a frost warning, better watch out, and then it crashed and burned, man.
01:31Brutally, so Matt Rule a little bit better?
01:33Much better, and at least we have hope, and he's such a positive guy.
01:38We have one of the best draft classes coming in this next year.
01:43Dylan Riola is a phenomenal quarterback.
01:47He's just the second coming of Pat Mahomes.
01:50Come on, man.
01:51Same haircut and all.
01:52Great transition to Patrick Mahomes this weekend, huh?
01:55Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, obviously the rematch here.
01:59That's right.
02:00Who do you got?
02:01I'm a Chiefs fan, so I got to go.
02:03I would love to see that three-peat, which Pat Riley apparently owns the trademark of three-peat, which is wild.
02:11So I'm going to own four-peat.
02:13I'll say it right here.
02:14You should get it right now.
02:15Yes, I own four-peat.
02:16You have money that you can make.
02:18I'm going to trademark that in five-peat, whatever.
02:21Let's just keep it going, man.
02:22Keep it going.
02:23You got to pay me if you get there.
02:25A hundred percent.
02:26It's going to be worth it for you in the end.
02:27Absolutely.
02:28So, Righteous Gemstones, final season.
02:30Final season.
02:31What are the emotions like?
02:33You know, man, it sucks because they're your friends and the crew.
02:38It feels like family because you spend 60 or more hours a week together.
02:43Yeah.
02:44So you're really going to miss those guys.
02:46But at the same time, it's leave them wanting more.
02:49And Danny does such a good job of leaving while the show is still on the upward trajectory.
02:54Who would make who break more, you or Danny?
02:58Danny breaks a lot, dude.
03:00He does.
03:02And I think he'll almost do it on purpose to keep the fun vibes going.
03:10And he'll try to fuck you up.
03:12It'll be your coverage and he'll just be like, uh.
03:15And you're like, what are you doing, dude?
03:17This is your show, man.
03:19When you are doing Righteous Gemstones, you're doing the Pitch Perfect.
03:23I don't know how you stay serious through all of this chaos, which is obviously supposed to be funny.
03:29But I don't know how you can just act.
03:33Yeah, it's acting.
03:36Yeah, that's kind of the main game.
03:38The main job here.
03:39Because it's so funny.
03:41And Pitch Perfect, did you know going in it would become this phenomenon?
03:45Absolutely not, dude.
03:46I remember I brought in the script of Pitch Perfect.
03:50We were writing workaholics at the time.
03:52And I showed the script to Anders and Blake.
03:55And Anders was like, dude, this is a funny movie.
03:57I think you would do really well in this movie, in this role.
04:00And then Blake was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:03And then late that night comes into my office and was like, you shouldn't do this movie, dude.
04:07It's going to ruin not only your career, but all of our careers.
04:11And I'm like, what?
04:12And he's like, you're going to do a singing movie when we have this cool show on Comedy Central?
04:16And I'm like, I think it's going to be funny, dude.
04:18And I'm so glad I didn't listen to him, dude.
04:22Oh, man.
04:23That would have been a real big mistake.
04:24Oh, man.
04:25That would have been.
04:26That's a gate, too.
04:27You could make a big mistake if you have a 30-year career.
04:31But first movie?
04:32That would be a bummer.
04:33So quick Anders story.
04:34So my guys all morning, we think we saw him in the gym this morning.
04:39Is he here?
04:40Yeah.
04:41OK.
04:42He's in the gym?
04:43What a psychopath.
04:44These guys this morning were just doing pre-workout and workout.
04:46I'm like, oh, my God.
04:47We think it's him.
04:48I'm staring at him.
04:49He's staring at me.
04:50If it's this other guy, we are just having the awkward act.
04:52No, he's here.
04:53It has to be him.
04:54It has to be him.
04:55And they're on Instagram.
04:56They're like, this has to be real.
04:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:58Yeah.
04:59I'm impressed, dude.
05:00I did not get my ass into the gym this morning.
05:02No.
05:03No.
05:04Absolutely not.
05:05So Circle Water is your first Super Bowl commercial.
05:07Yeah, first one, man.
05:08What are the emotions like that?
05:09Seeing yourself, a hundred million people are going to watch this thing.
05:11I know.
05:12That's the, I mean, I've done other commercials, obviously, but this one, you know that everyone
05:17is going to see it.
05:18And probably my uncles are going to actually sit through the entire thing.
05:24Every movie I've done, they're like, it's too weird seeing you act like someone else.
05:29Right.
05:30And I'm like, well, this, I'm acting like myself.
05:32My wife's in it.
05:34It's a minute or 30 seconds or whatever the spot is.
05:38And it's during the first quarter of the Super Bowl.
05:40So you'll be able to sit through it.
05:42All right, Uncle Bill.
05:43You will make it.
05:44So Circle Water, it looks, the whole product sounds awesome.
05:48It's actually really cool.
05:50When they told me about it, they pitched it to me.
05:51I'm like, this sounds kind of stupid.
05:53I'm like, I don't know if I want to do a dumb product for the Super Bowl, but the thing's really cool.
05:57It comes with this little pod and there's a hundred different flavors.
06:02You just snap it on and then you can control the flavor.
06:05So how much flavor or how little flavor you want.
06:08So it can straight up be like a juice or it can just be water.
06:11And there's ones with caffeine, with electrolytes.
06:16It's a really, really cool product.
06:18And it's selling like crazy.
06:19It was the number one.
06:20They've sold over a billion dollars worth of this stuff.
06:23Whoa.
06:24Yeah, it's wild.
06:25And it's like a five-year-old company.
06:26That's like more money than you make on a four-peat.
06:28Yeah, that would be slightly more than my rate, my going rate.
06:32Yeah, so it's kind of a runaway freight train.
06:35I'm happy to be a small part of it.
06:37We're excited to see it.
06:38In the first quarter, Circle Water, that'll be so cool.
06:41And what's cool is we're giving, in the commercial,
06:43I mistakenly order 100,000 Circle Water bottles
06:48and deliver them across America.
06:50So it's possible you'll be watching the Super Bowl
06:52and have a Circle Water bottle delivered to your door,
06:55which is kind of tight.
06:56That would be incredible.
06:57Yeah, yeah.
06:58That would be incredible.
06:59Interactive.
07:00Just a final question.
07:01You've obviously worked with so many awesome people.
07:03Is there somebody you're just like, that's cool?
07:07Yeah, dude.
07:08I mean, I did a movie with Robert De Niro.
07:10Yeah, that's it.
07:11Yeah, the intern.
07:13And it was, I mean, it was unreal.
07:16The whole time, I mean, I felt like when I was acting
07:21and it's my coverage or when it's his coverage,
07:24I wasn't doing that great of a job
07:26because the whole time I'm literally going,
07:29it's Robert De Niro.
07:31This is Robert De Niro that I'm acting.
07:33Like, why am I allowed to be here?
07:35This is crazy.
07:36My uncles watched that one.
07:38I bet they did.
07:40I bet they did.
07:41Awesome.
07:42Adam, I really appreciate the time.
07:43Yeah, pleasure, man.
07:44This was a blast.
07:45Circle of Water, first quarter of the Super Bowl.
07:46Maybe you'll get it delivered to your house at the time.
07:48Possible.
07:49Super cool.
07:50Righteous Gemstones, final season is coming.
07:51Thank you so much.
07:52Awesome.
07:53Appreciate it.
07:54Thanks, man.
07:55We'll be back live from Radio Row.
