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