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.
