Alex Cooper and Adam Divine engage in a lively, humorous interview that blends personal storytelling with comedy and self-reflection. Adam, known for his work in *Workaholics* and *Pitch Perfect*, emphasizes his zero infidelity and shares how he met his wife on a plane, with their relationship rooted in genuine connection and shared humor. The conversation explores his comedic background, from improv roots to co-creating *Workaholics* with close friends, and highlights the show’s bold, boundary-pushing content. Adam reflects on personal authenticity, admitting he doesn’t care what people think, a mindset he credits with helping him succeed in both comedy and relationships. He also shares funny anecdotes about his physical appearance, dating habits, and a memorable first date with his wife, who he met during a flight to New Orleans. The segment includes light-hearted discussions on internet culture, TikTok trends, and the quirks of modern dating. Adam also reveals a unique habit—keeping alien-shaped flashlights—originally given to him as gifts, which he and his wife now keep as a shared joke. The conversation concludes with updates on his upcoming projects, including a new season of *Bumper and Berlin* on Peacock, and a missed *Workaholics* movie opportunity. Throughout, the tone remains playful, self-deprecating, and deeply human, celebrating authenticity, humor, and the joy of living without fear of judgment.
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 Divine, not Adam Levine, thank fucking God. What is up daddy gang, it is your founding father Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy Daddy. Are you taller than me? What's going on? No, no, no. 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. Yeah, I mean you're appropriately sized, you're a great size, but I'm like, why? That's the first thing people say to you, 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. Yes, true. That's fair to say, right? I've got a weird shaped, like my torso is the exact same length as my legs, look, and you do this. Like that's not, it's not even like flexibility, that's just, yeah, yeah, but see how, that was kind of, yeah, that was, wait, that's great. That's a good trick. I'm going to start asking people. Also, you did that very, yeah, it's like two, it's, do you do that often? It's all my whole career is based on me doing that.

She'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, I'm like, should I like dress nice and she said, I was, she's like, no, you could be casual and then I like wore what I was wearing and she's like, maybe no, you wear something else. I was in sweatpants. We'll put a jacket on. No, I think you look great. I love your watch. The whole thing is going great. Thank you. Thanks. Okay, so we're going to, we're going to get into it. Okay. Okay. We're 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.

Thank you. I just have to tell you that I was a huge Maroon 5 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. Thank you. 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 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 it. 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, it's so hot, shirtless, singing on site. 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, you're like, okay, never, not even one time. Like, so he is a fucking dick. No, I love that sort of habit, like, but also invite me back to the Halloween party. Right. You're like, I will come back as a wizard. Do you think actually people thought that it was you in that situation? People did. 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. So I was like steering clear and then like, like news organizations. I forget what 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 DM me, me being a 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 5 fan and now hate me on accident. Like somehow click 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 check this out. The name is too close. Like it could be you do that 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 say 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. But 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 and hollywood. You're humor is amazing and I'm very happy you're here and 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. Wow, I've never really, so there's no stereotypes. So I feel like when they meet me, they're like, that's what you look like. Yeah. 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 isn't off the carbs. He's full carboloding with baked potatoes on the rag. 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 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, because I'm like, I don't know much. Yeah, we're just a, we're a sturdy people, heart, you know, sorts of the earth, I think they say. Okay. Yeah. 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. Why? 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, yeah, it's something. It's unique. Yeah, a little, a little salt and pepper. Exactly. Pepper, meat and potatoes, vibe. That's right. I'm from Philadelphia outside of it though. And I'm just so happy that I don't have the Philly accent due to 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 were like genos or pats, cheese steaks, like what, we're gonna try both, and we're eating there and some guy was like, fuck you, you think you're cool, huh? Oh, fucking Mr. Ollywood and I'm like, I'm gonna have to fight a man. Really? I just wanted to cheese me. Yeah, I'm like, and I'm not like a confrontational guy, so I'm like, I gotta put up my dukes. I'm like, do I call them dukes? I don't know. I'm gonna get my ass kicked by this guy. No, you're so accurate. Yeah. 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 in my dad worked for the Philadelphia Flyers. Oh, cool. I 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? Like water water water with the deep. I'm going home to drink some water You're going home to drink some water going home to drink some water. Go Eagles Yeah, I'm in Omaha. We don't say water. We say water. It's not we say we do say Like mom. Oh, like mom dead mom So it's like a mouth opening. Yeah, it's like it like vowel. It's just like fall out of your mouth like Okay, but at least you're a non-seating 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, one thing 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 Yeah, and I tell I'm always given advice But I feel like it just nothing matters It just doesn't matter like it does it. 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 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 man. 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 super power at times They're smarter. Yeah, we're smarter. We're more to and then 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 not like twitching like just tell me what happened I don't know what to do with my legs. You're literally like Um, it's just a comfortable Can I tell you something my wife has got to watch this podcast and be tossing and turning and be like And I'm like what's wrong? 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 is 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 They I always get where'd you get the chairs where to get the chairs? I want the chairs when you're in person when you're in person You can't and imagine a woman in a skirt and heels. Oh, yeah, that's the moment where I say I'm sorry Yes, you you're gonna figure it out. You got your pants on. Yeah, I am wearing pants. This is good I've been an 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. All right. I'll take them. Okay. Oh, okay, great 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 20s that live together and work together How did you meet your co-stars and who came up with the premise of the show? 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 Community College at Orange Coast College in Costa, Mesa, California 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 throw 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 as buck back then I'm looking at you Blake and And he I just thought it was so funny. So afterwards it was weird because it was like I was Sort of like hitting on my friend, you know, it we're like I remember like my other buddy was like What's going on over there because I came out to him with a little nervous. It's like hey, what's up? If you'd be down for it 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 and then I moved up to California up to LA from Orange County of about a year later and Met honors at the second city 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 better? I kept to myself a little bit. I mean like because I would say The 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, so like I took a lot and especially when I was like like 1819 and there's always like a business man 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 Like maybe two normal people who you'll end up seeing later on in life like I know like Like Eric Andre was in an improv class of mine back in the day And then all the workaholic guys and Jillian Bell who was on workaholic's I knew from improv classes and stuff So you can find little diamonds in the rough. Yeah, there's on the periphery or like I want to stay away from that person that person's in Same. 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 Really cool and open and down. I feel like we might not be able to get away with everything because everything is a little touchier now Like we did one bit where Carl the drug dealer 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 But we ended up winning and the show is very funny. We did another episode where We go to our neighbor's house and they're having a pride party and we think it's pride fighting like the UFC like pride fighting But they're a group of gay men having a pride party and we go there and then We get blackout drunk and we pass out. We wake up in the in their bed and I wake up and I think I have jizz on my face and I'm like oh my god 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're like a reeling with this and then at the end of the 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 the guys 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 we're up for a glad award. They like loved the episode With 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 just taken to 12 You know, so every once in a while it'd be like Durses pitching edge a joke and you're like well Adam is a fucking idiot And it like also like egotistical and but also kind of a bitch. So I think he would say and I'm like Yeah, while 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 yeah, we get in fights, but at the end of the day, you're like all right
Should we go get milkshakes or whatever, or whatever fat kid thing we're about to go do? - Yes. 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 wanna 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 gonna get the baseball movie singing and fucking pussy, you know? And then I go in and it turns out it's not a baseball movie at all and I had a, then I'm quickly learning the sides and I'm like, I don't sure if this isn't baseball at all. And I go in and I do the audition and they ask 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 people boy, the evening 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 gonna get the, 'cause we have to sing like Rihanna and shit. I'm like, I didn't prove that I can sing. And they're like, well, I'll get 'em 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, synced to whatever popped into your head. And I'm like, I will say though, that was like very accurate. - Yeah, I do a good, I do a good, - You do, I do a good, I mean, I do a lot of, yeah, yeah. - 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 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, go wing it. - 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 what's fucking crazy though? It's like, did you, it looks great. - Yeah, I think it's weird. - Did you know that you were passionate about singing in "Acapella" before "Pitch Perfect"? - I'm not, I'm not passionate about singing in "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 how some people are just, 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 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" and 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" and 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 pretty good singer. And he goes, bullshit. And I'm like, all right, well I'm gonna do in this movie and he goes, I'd find a way to get out of that one. And I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm gonna do it. Okay, no 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. Okay, 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 wanna then go work. Okay. That to me is what that is. Now sometimes it'll be like 3 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 gonna just. You're not gonna do it. Yeah. But you are here to perform today. I'm welcome. This is work. I mean, okay great. You're not paying me in what? What the fuck? There's more in there. There is more in there. Just keep pouring. Okay, so last month, 'cause I was gonna say this and you know what, you can deny me, but I'm just gonna 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 4th of July, the song episode. All right, here we go.

(upbeat music) (upbeat music) - I'm gonna go through a list of some random topics that are happening in the world right now. And I want your take on them. - Okay, yes. - Okay, number one, telling your friend that you don't like their partner. - I don't do it. Yeah, don't just don't do it. You might lose your friend forever, but what they're gonna do is, I've done this before, where they 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 MD. - 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 feel like I'm working with my MDE, so that's what I'm really pushing. I'm selling it.

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. - Okay. - I had him on Adam Divine's house party, which was a stand-up 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 wiery, those long wiery guys. Sometimes got a big old wang. And then that was kind of the whole topic of conversation on set. Like, we're all staring at this young boy. Gaging 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? - 'Cause it was on the way to my house. I'm not really knowing where we're going 'cause I'm in a new city. It was a house that I rented. So I'm kind of zonein' on 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, ah, you don't mind, do you? And I'm like, uh, you can't say yes because you're stuck there at their house now. So you're like, no. So 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. - The little too much. - Yeah. I was like covering up my watch. I'm like, "No, no." She's like, "Sure, it's a nice house, you're renting." - You're like, I'm holding. - You think any valuables in there? No, no valuables here. - You're like, "I'm only here for actually a couple hours. I'm moving location." - Yeah, I'm actually moving houses to a small studio apartment. - Holy, that's a fucking weird one. - Yeah. - Okay, what do you think about the band, Maroon Five? - Fuck you, Adam Levine. (laughing) - But you have to about leave and admit that one song's slaps of like, she will, oh, you love? - No, no, keep going. - No, no, you're good to school. ♪ You'll be loved ♪ - It's a banger. - Yeah, that one, is that theirs? - Yeah. - Then yeah, then 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. (laughing) - You have to do it. - Right. - Yeah, 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, that's a unique one. I don't know if we've ever had someone say that on "Color Daddy" before. - I'm here for, for first. - I can already see the headline. - Yeah. - Adam Divine says, sex on the first date is a must. It's like opening the door. - Yeah, rape, question mark? Is he, it gives 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 gonna do? Show up with, what you know what? - I worked at the improv comedy club when I was like, 20 to like 22, and all the coolest guys showed up alone. The 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. (laughing) - Okay, this is "Color Daddy" Adam. So we have to talk about your dating life. - We have to call our fathers. - Okay. - Okay. - 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 'cause 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 are being like, "Yo, what's up? What you guys doing over here?" Like that, 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 as soon as I have to talk to them, normally they're like, there's a different guy in there. This is not the cool, squinny, licking lips guy. - Right, right, right. That was actually a great impression. I think it was better than I've ever seen the actual originals. - Oh, yeah, but have you seen those TikTok kids with the swoopy hair? - Oh, totally. - When they go like, - How do you feel about boys dancing? (laughing) - I don't know, dude. - And then the swoop of the hair. - Yeah, like, how do you feel? - It's weird, it's like a totally different thing 'cause like, that wouldn't have, like maybe times are better or definitely times are weirder. Like, 'cause 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 cringey and weird on the internet. That it's, but for sure they're gonna look back at that in like four years and be like, oh Jesus Christ. I'm trying to like get a job now and their like future employer looks and they're like, oh, you were the squinny eyed, licking lip, elbows out, doing weird dance TikTok dance kid. You're hired. (laughing) - 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 you're not 16 now. So maybe if you were 16 now, you'd be like, oh my God, Caleb and Skylar and Chanston. - Chanston, 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. - Chanston. - Chanston. Hey, all the Chanston's listen, you know, there's like a dozen Chanston's that are listening right now like, oh shit, they're talking about me. - With their tiny little butthole mouse. Oh my God, what? They're talking about me on call of her daddy. - What the fuck is this? - You've seen those TikTok dances, right? Where they're like, is that the move? - Yeah. - Are you on TikTok a lot? - No, I've only seen, well, by the way, I feel like I'm not on it enough for the algorithm to know me. So, 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 in bearity. - What is it? - It's just like, my wife is like Jesus Christ when she sees my like page. It's just like swollen beef keg 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. 'Cause 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, man, on Instagram. - Right, like it could be slightly questionable. - Yeah, yeah. - But then you have the M-D-E, so she's like, actually work- - Yes, yeah, she's fine. - Your wife is stunning. 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 a sign with your name on it, the driver 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 she had a sign. And I'm like, oh, we're all in this movie together. And Chloe Bridges 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 going to Baton Rouge. 'Cause we were shooting in Baton Rouge in a second, 45 minute drive from New Orleans. And we go and Chloe's from New Orleans. And she goes, let's get drive through Dacqueries, which is a thing there. - Oh my god, you need to go there? - Yeah, it's the best. And we went through, and like, Nina, to her credit was like playing a cool. I was like, I'll take a couple of little sample sizes to 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. - Oh my god. - And I'm like, (laughing) I'm like, I love this girl. Yeah. - And so then, when did you break up with that past girlfriend? - A few weeks later, and then we started to date, but I hadn't been single in like years. So then I 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, okay, and you're my girlfriend. - Okay. - You're like, I knew when you got that drink in the car. It was over for me. - Yes, when you 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 'cause 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, uh, flashlight, the, like, the, it's, like, molded after, like, porn stars, vaginas, or whatever, set me 25 of them. So, I didn't know what to do with them. So, for a while, I was, like, giving them a way 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 flashlight 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 flashlights. They're, like, alien flashlights. And, yeah, like, alien vaginas. And, like, and, like, monster pussies. And, like, the weirdest things. So, I, 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, uh, I, I think I have to talk to you. I'm, like, way, 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, are you in a monster's? 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 you. You say, 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 Tarty, 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 in a monster. - Did you ever give them away? - We still have them. I should have brought them here. - We're gonna transition from your real, real wife to your work wife, Rebel Wilson. - Yep. - She's coming here on Monday. - Oh, really? - Yeah, it's gonna 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. - Yeah, girl, whatever, yeah. - And it's like, you guys have a great dynamic. Did you guys ever get to like, ad lib in that movie at all together? - Most of, I mean, K-K and Enroad, like an amazing script. So I'm not taking anything away. - Yeah. - But all of my lines were, no. (laughing) But I rewrote the whole thing. - No, we improv quite a bit. And actually, like, our love connection, like me and Rebel's love connection, we improv that. And so then, as we were shooting, they're like, yeah, that's kind of funny. Put them together. And then it ended up being like, a bigger, bigger story. - So fucking good. Okay, so my idea was this. Rebel's coming on, and I'm gonna have to redo the same thing. I want you, if you can, to impersonate Rebel, and then I'm gonna have her impersonate you. - Oh, that's so hard. - Is it so hard? - Well, 'cause, 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 gonna be like, oh my God. (laughing) Just with like weird energy, just bouncing all over the place. - Yeah, no, I mean, no. (laughing) 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. Okay, I got it. - Okay. - Hello. It's sort of British. Hello, it's, it may, Rebel Wilson, I'm the lead singer of the Beatles. (laughing) I can't do it, Alex, I can't do it. - 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. - I think you're fully doing English. An English accent. - 'Cause I can't do Australia. - It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. And I cannot thank you for coming on and up. Let me ask you, what are you doing next? Because I know you obviously have your podcast, but like, are you doing any new film? - This is important. Check it out. Our podcast that I do with the Workhawks guys. It's super fun. Yeah, I'm doing, I'm doing a season two of Bumper and Berlin, the spin-off series that I'm doing for Peacock. That's the 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 aboard, who's super funny. And then I was gonna do a Workhawks movie, but then Paramount Plus pulled the plug. - I saw that, 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. - Legally, Jesus Christ. - 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. (upbeat music)
