Look at me and Reggie. - That is so sweet, Benny, that is your nephew. - Mmm, you're. - Reggie just did good. - Do you feel like that's your nephew? - Reggie's just, Chuck, I got Reggie being a dirty dog. - Oh yeah. - He's a pow dog. - Oh he's wearing his little s-- - Reggie. - Reggie, you're a pow dog. - Reggie, we don't have anything crazy. - It's really crazy that a dog's fur determines their size. As he, like, sometimes Reggie is like, looks like fat and sometimes like, now he looks like a little pipsqueak. - I know, they really can fin out or thicken. - Reggie, huh? - Oh, I love Reggie. - I mean, that dog, they don't live up there, right? - I don't know why he wants to be up there. - But where are you down here? - You do even like Reggie. - I love Reggie.

Oh, Olli Powell. - Oh, wow. - Olli Powell. - This. - Send a beast. - Look at this. Do you work directly? Yes. - Did you guys know this was going to go no? - No, no. - Oh, no. (laughing) - It's okay. That's it, it's happening. I got it. Let me go. - We won't tell them. We won't tell them. - You only have one job. It's okay. It's all right. Maybe this was part of it and it was perfectly executed by the Solid Pop beast. - Yeah. - Be all upside down. - I gotta say, I'm happy that you're here. - Are you okay? You don't, you can't speak. Can you? - Olli? Can you speak legally or, I guess? - Oh, what? - You're a Yeti, right? - Wow, these are holiday flavors. - Oh, yes. - Oh, yes. - Mr. Olli-Pop Yeti, man. - Yeah. - You want to spend, you want to spend the holidays with us? - You can say so. - Tell us one thing about yourself. - Hey, Olli-Pop Yeti, you're aware that this thing only has five grams of sugar and has six grams of fiber in it, right? Is fiber beneficial for you? - Okay. - It kind of sounds like-- - Look at this. - We're having a foreign check. Who are you? Who are you? - I'm just trying to understand. We're doing a good job. - I can't believe this thing tastes exactly like an apple. It tastes like I'm eating an apple. - So, you get out of here. We got, no, leave, because we have a dog. - Yeah, I mean it. - I don't want to read you this. - The fake is why we need to go that way with our dog. - Yeah, that's right. - This way, sir. - Oh! - He knows the home. - What is going on? - Just-- - I don't know. - I don't want to read you to see the daddy. - Oh my God. - Our house just-- - That's a show off. - He is. - That's a little performance after the little-- - Oh. - That felt very strange. - I loved it. - I loved it. And I love Olli-Pop. I'm actually gonna dive in. - Hey. - And get other flavors in here. You know, they got vintage cola and pomegranate flavor. - Yeah, like this one that we just tried that we love. - Ginger real? - No, pomegranate sparkle. - Nothing like a holiday chill sash with a case. - Right. - Hi, that was cool. No knock, just head through the door. - I just-- - I wasn't sure if it was-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on. - Do a front door. - Yeah, that's a stunt door. You can just rip that off. - Really? - I should have done it. - I want to say this. - Hey. - Party down, parks and rides. - Seven, especially. - Step bro. - You're the Leo of the corporate world. - What's that? - The Frogger was a con strong. - No. - Can you do one of your sons beat you up? - It's so serious. - This is how I do it. - It's terrible. - What's wrong with that? - Dave, you do not fold your clothes. You want to ask Adam to put the drops in your ear? - Breathe. (laughing) - I do have a small question. I heard this and I don't know if it's true. Is laundry your favorite thing to do in the world? - I love doing laundry. - Have you always? - How do you know this about him? - Did you get like a cheat sheet on him? - No, I looked it up on the internet. This was before, we looked it up. - You know him for laundry? - I did, I'm known worldwide for laundry. - I do want to let you know something that one of my favorite things in the world to do, my favorite thing is fold the laundry. - You do. - Yes. - Oh my God. - Because I think, first of all, I think I'm in a professional level, actually. - I bet you went better because I actually did fold for a job. - Did you work at the gap? - I worked at Urban Outfitters. - Oh, okay. I learned how to fold. - See, I fucking suck at folding. - Really? - I suck at it. - Still? - Hold on, hold on, hold on, grab some laundry. I don't wear a laundry. - Can I ask you, can I ask you, so do you enjoy doing it? - You enjoy it. - It's like cleaning, like, or cooking, I mean with me, where I find something calming. - Yeah. - I think that's, and I am anal about like, I don't love putting certain things in the dryer, but I don't want it to be all the housekeeper like, please hang, so the night before they come, sometimes I just do my laundry. - I just do my own, because I am anal, I don't like to put, I really don't even like to wash my clothes, I'll like hand wash, important clothes, or I just wash like underwear and socks, so I don't even have, but I also don't like doing the laundry, so then it will, I will wait until I'm like, - Out of panties. - Out of underwear? (laughing) - And you said it that way, it's jarring. - But it was very jarring the way you said it, white panties sounds, panties sounds so weird. - Panties when you're talking about doing your laundry is like a, it's like a, - I wouldn't take back what I said at all. - You should drop that into conversation. - Yeah. - Panties is for the race to the day. - I think panties can come back. I know why you're saying panties is crazy, but it's not that crazy. - People still think panties, panties. - You just don't, it's like, it felt, it just felt-- - On these? - The panties was my password for so long. - Oh, no, it wasn't. - It was. - Panties, are you serious? - Yes, it was like a joke. It was like a joke between my wife and I. So it was my password, and then it was like panties one, panties 11, panties one, two, three, and it was our internet password for our Wi-Fi home. So whenever someone came over and they asked what the password was, I would have to say, it's panties one, and so eventually I just changed it. - Because panties-- - The world. - That's right. - The panties. - That is a tough spot because you have to share that with every guest that comes, like you don't think of it. - You think it's just for me, and then you know, it's everyone who says, "What's the password?" It's like panties. - I like that yours was panties, 'cause I feel like there's some hidden things about you that we don't know, but I'm like, pant that checks. I feel like that's under the surface. - You got to need deep dark secrets. - Did you ever kill them, you want? - Yeah, I killed someone and my password is panties. - That's what I'm cool of. - Adam, do you want to share? - Yeah, I'll sit down. - So he hasn't had to sleep. - I'm fine on the ground, too. - Really? - You want to lay down? - Oh, you know what I could do? - Do a back flip. - Oh, yeah, that's cool. - No one does that. - That is pretty cool. - You're the first guy to do that. - I'm gonna bring this back. - I don't know, it's a very cool. - You look cool. - I could even do like one of these. - Dude, I'm thrilled about that. - Do you have kids? - Yeah, how many kids? - Two, boys or girls? - What if I said nine kids? And then I would say sick, ombre. - How old are your kids? - 1917. - Oh yeah, that's right. - Yeah. - Party time. - Party time. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How old are you? - 53. - Oh my God, you look, I know, I'm an oldie. - You look, I said this to Paul Rudd when we had him. I feel like even though I know he's not our age, in my head and I feel this way about you, you are my, you're our age. - Yeah, right. - I know why. - Why again? - Because. - Thank you for raising your hands. - These men have defined what your representation of people are age, a bit for like, 'cause you always want to use guys that would have been, 'cause you always play someone slightly younger than you. - Yeah. - I mean, yeah, you've defined so much. - Well, Kristen, say what you said to me earlier. - Oh yeah, I was thinking about you. I was thinking about your career. - And I was thinking, you kind of continuously play these, like, the work place man. Like you represent the man that's sometimes like stuck in the cog in the-- - In a shitty job. - Yeah, you're actually like, even like, stepbrows, it's still the same, you're like-- - Yeah, there's different stuff. - No, but he's the corporate, but he's the corporate man. - Yeah, that's true. - Parks and Rec, even Severance, you are the corporate-- - Severance, especially. I've never had like a real job. I mean, I've only had like acting jobs. So I've only pretended to have real jobs. - Yeah, that's interesting. - So I'm not, I don't know. I think it, I think maybe, I don't know. I think maybe because I sort of naturally carry some sort of existential dread that that's gonna pour into whatever I do. - Do you actually carry existential dread? - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - My existential dread was really bad when you're just doing the same job over and over and you think like 30 and you're like, well, I'll be doing this for the next 30 years. - And when you like clue into that and then you're like, oh, is everyone else okay with this? And does everyone else know that this is insane? And then you kind of start feeling like you're the only one and you're not, but that feeling of being the only one sort of existential dread. - Jason, I can talk about death all day right now. But sometimes when I'm in the shower, it just hits me and I have like death realization and I'm crippled. Like I'm like, that happened to you. When you realized that that happened to me when I was like 14 and when I kind of clued in, I was like, oh, and I feel like I was that change to me forever. When you kind of, I have zero existential dread. It's so nice. - You don't have it a little bit. - I don't know, you have it a little bit. - No, absolutely. - With your tasks, with your tasks and your parents. - That's not really existential dread. That's like distract, that's like. - I feel like there's existential dread in your show. - Yes. - There's dread. There's interpersonal dread. I guess there is existential dread. - Yeah, I guess there is. You're like me, you're like me. You have, you have the least amount of existential dread. You can have while still having existential dread. - Your existential dread is like one dimensional. - Yes, it is one dimensional. - You're like me. I don't want my family to die. I don't want my parents to die. I don't want to die. And then it kind of ends there. - I have selfish, selfish existential dread about, will I fulfill my potential? And then beyond that, knowing that will I fulfill my potential is not the question to be asking in life. But I feel like I know I'm not gonna get the answers. And for whatever reason, I feel like, for whatever reason, I'm not particularly believing in the concept of a hell of like there being a thing where like things are gonna get way worse. So it's either like non-existence or something parallel that's like just as good or better or just non-existence. And I feel like that's okay. - I think, I think even thinking about the idea of there being hell is too comforting. (laughing) Like I just, just thinking about the end is fine. - Just poof. - I got one question. - Yeah. - You got kids that are like of the real age now. Like what type, like you guys talking real shit? Like it's like, like, like, when does the kid become like the peer grown up? Is it happening now? You guys are like, like where you're like, fuck man, like today was crazy. And you guys are talking. Is it at that level with your 19 year old? - Yeah, he and I were gonna go rock climbing this weekend. He's like, we built the Death Star out of Legos when he was five. And so we're building another one now that he's 19. So we have these things we do together. And you're right, like, they get to a certain age and they start becoming like their own. I mean, it happens earlier than 17 and 19, but it's wild when they're driving cars around and they are getting jobs and going to college and all that stuff. But yeah, you can have real conversations and it's so strange kind of thinking about them when they were just like little kids, but now they're people with existential dread and responsibility to say. - Do you see that in them at all? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Sure, yeah. - Does your wife have it? - That's a good question. I think my wife is, she's happy and she's smart enough to be aware of all of those things. She's far beyond me as far as intelligence goes. So she's factored already, factored it all in. - Yeah, yeah. - And it's deciding that yes, I've accepted all of that that's happening, but we need to focus on things that are a bit more constructive. - That's me. - And so I'm off to the side like wallowing. - That's me, that's what I'm doing. - You guys wanna fold a little laundry? - Yeah. - You guys are gonna see how bad, like shitty I am. - We can fold the same piece. - You wanna fold this guy? - Okay, this is how I do it. - Oh. - That's, no, no, no, no. - That's what I do. - No chance. - No chance. - It's too much. - That's what I'm with that. What's wrong with that? - Because look at all that. - I don't like that. - Yeah. - This is, this is how they taught me. - Yeah, a lot of room for this. - The floor. - Do it on the floor. - Wow. - Okay, look, I like to go like this, so first go like this and I see how wide I'm gonna want the thing. So I kind of go like that. You see, like I would say that was too wide. Some drawers, it stays like this or it goes like that. - And I didn't have a fold down the middle of the belly. - And I do. - Well, yeah, it doesn't ring. - It doesn't ring. - It's not gonna ring so wide. - Yeah. - Wait, I wanna try, let me just tell you how I would do it. I fold it like my loose like way of folding, which is like everything will be folded with like this level of care. - Like, I really do not fold your fold. - I'm loose through it, I go like this and I'm satisfied and I go like that. That's how I do it. And I do it for everything that's something, and I think this is good. - This is what you do in your pack. (laughing) - No, that's unfair. - No, to go home, I agree with going home. - But then your stuff's not gonna fit in your suitcase on the way back. - It fits. - And you probably bought a thing or two while you're there. - No, you wanna buy it fits? Because I take it all out and I fold it. So you can fit it. - I love when you do that. I love when she packs for me. - Yeah. - What type of pajamas are you wearing? Do you wear that to me? - Yeah, these are my pajamas, you guys. - What are you wearing to bed? - Sweats and a t-shirt. - You wear sweats to bed. - Yeah. - You sleep in sweatpants? What are you fucking nuts? (laughing) - Wait, wait, wait, wait. - You're not wearing sweatpants, man. - Are you fucking crazy? - You're nuts. - Underwear under the sweats? - No. - Okay. - No, no. - What are you crazy about? - No, you're fucking nuts. - Yeah. - Oh my God. - You're looking at a eight-time Olympian sweater over here. - I sweat a lot. - Well, I used to sweat so much when I slept. I don't anymore, but wait, what's so crazy about that? Sweatpants is crazy, it's worse than wearing socks. - Oh, it's the best. - No, it's the best. - I think it's interesting. - One time, when we first started dating, I was like, I was trying to show that I have like an ounce of like domesticated stuff in me. I don't really, like, I don't really cook. - Yeah. - I like to clean, but I was like, we were, we were going to a wedding and then he was gonna perform at the Emmys, like as soon as we got back. So we had to pack for that. And I was like, Dave, I'll pack for you. I think I've told this story, but maybe I haven't. - I don't know, I've never heard it. - I packed for him, except I forgot to pack underwear. So he had no underwear. He had no underwear for the entire trip, and then-- - For a wedding. - What did you do? - No, I had the underwear that I was wearing on my body. So I had one pair that I had to wear for my friends wedding, where I was a groom's man. Then I had to get on the plane in the same underwear, get right off the plane into the Emmys custody room. - You didn't have time to stop it, like-- - No. - We were in the mountain. - No, we were in the mountains. - You're totally right. I mean, I could have stopped-- - Or you could have just told the people at the Emmys, be like, hey, you mind-- - We did. - Having a runner yet, yeah, yeah. - I wasn't gonna be, yeah, I could have, but I'm not gonna be like, hey, can you just have one pair of underwear? - And I'm gonna wash your underwear on the sink one night. - You have to wear the sink one night. - I was gonna ask if you did a sink-- - I did a sink wash, okay, I think for the wedding, I don't think for the Emmys. I washed it so you had like fresh underwear. - What did you use it so? - I think hand soap. - Okay, guys, I have a real question, this is a huge debate that some people go through. When you get to your destination, you're on vacation, let's use vacation. - Oh. - Do you? - Unpack all of your things for the trip, or do you leave everything in the suitcase and take it out per day as you wear it? - Suitcase. - Yeah, mostly suitcase, but if it's more than like five days, I unpack it. - So five days is-- - That's about the cut off for me. - Yeah, but vacations, are you going on three month vacation? - Five days. - Well, five days is usually the cut off. I'm thinking like there's a four day trip. If I'm like gonna be in a hotel for like six days, I'll put some stuff in, yeah, yeah. - But vacation, no, I usually don't take it out of this. - What are you doing? - Absolutely no rule, I just, however I feel. - No rule? - Do you put everything in the dresser drawers? - Okay, if it's just, if I'm on like, a tour or something and it's just for a second, I don't because that's how you forget stuff. You're like, that's like the rule for tour, you never do it. You're on tour and you're moving through thing, you would never put something in the closet 'cause you're gonna forget it. - Yeah, that's not what I'm talking about. - And I don't even forget a stuff normally. But I just, I'm not gonna do it. - Okay. - Also, you guys want to sit down. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - A lot of weird standing. - What do you think is the perfect amount of time for a vacation? - Ooh, good question out of three nights. - A few nights. - It has to be longer 'cause it takes a while to, you gotta really ease in people say panties than we think. I'm gonna ask Yahoo Scout to get to the bottom of that truth 'cause I wanna know, is the word panties becoming more popular versus undies? Wow, the term panties serves as the standard formal descriptor for female undergarments across the global marketplace. - Chuck, panties is actually very popular and it's the standard global marketplace, why? - Chuck, then why is the word panties sound so offensive? - Oh, I'll ask Yahoo Scout, why do some people find the word panties offensive? 'Cause to me, it's not, why is it offensive panties? - Chuck, how can you trust that thing? - Yahoo Scout, with all the credible sources it has, are you kidding? - Okay. - Oh. - They find it offensive because the word panties creates a visceral reaction for many because it often carries a diminished connotation. - What I've learned to be Yahoo Scout is that I communicate on a business global marketplace level. I'm not speaking colloquially. - My, why? The second? - I'm trying to say it. - The second, yeah, it's cool. - I'll try it on. - I'll try it on. - I'll try it on. - I'll try it on. - You can say it. - Selena. - Almost sent in front of the fire for me. - Gets to vacation. She likes it the first day, then the second day, she's like, I miss home. Like, because we love our house so much, we love being at home and she'll be like, what? - Oh, we just, we just did this experiment because we don't really go on vacations and we're like, we don't really need to go on vacation. We're going to want to be home soon. Like, we were like failing to go for four days. - No. - Yeah. - Don't worry. I want to be too gone too long because you won't like it and I don't know, and then we kept calling and asking to stay. - But I'm sorry. - No, no, I'm cold, and we're leaving the door. I'm just used to staying there. - Are you a planner? - Not real. - Is your wife? - Yeah. - Who's planning the vacation? - My wife, yeah. - Like you're coming up with an idea and then she's handling all the dirty work. - That's an assumption. - No, I'm asking. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Or I don't even really come up with the idea. Other than like Hawaii sounds great. - That's what I'm saying. - Yeah, yeah. - You're like an abstract man where nothing would even come to fruition if it weren't for her. - Nothing, nothing would happen. - Really? - If it was just a meme about the wife. - Our kids would still, they still wouldn't even be enrolled in school. - But yeah. - She works in the business as well. - Yeah, she's a producer. - Oh wow. - She is. - That's how you look. - I don't like to plan unless I'm being paid. - Yeah, so she's kind of a function. - Should be paid for it. - Do you guys ever work together? They work. - Yes. - We have a company together. - Oh, yeah. - Do you guys have a company? - They do as well. And how does it work? - You know what? You said great. It's called great films. - Yours is called great films. - Yeah, yours is called great Scott. - Oh, great. - Yeah. - So let me ask you. - Yeah. - GR8? - No, but that's a really good idea. - Great film. - Great film. - Very millennial. - That's cool. - It's my lucky number. - But isn't it millennial? - Yes. - You should sue him. - Oh, there's like an infinity to it. - Yeah, I think I might. - Yeah, you should sue him. - Is that cool. - Yes, that's cool. - Wait, it's not as cool. - You might get a letter from me. You'll know it's from me because it's going to look a lot like a subpoena. Is that cool? - I wouldn't like that. But we have evidence in our favor. - That's cool. Do you guys like working together? - Yes. But you know, you'd never know until you try because it could be bad. - Yeah. That's an experience where we both love what we work on. So when we're talking at the end of the day, after work, about things that interest us, and that we're passionate about, it happens to be the subject matter is the work stuff. - So you're still continuing the conversation. It's productive because it's talking about something here. - No, I've said we started to have boundaries. I was specifically-- - She did. - Yeah. - So Lena does cool and cut off. She said, "We're not talking about work." And the rare times that we do stuff together. It's a full cut up. She goes like this. She'll just go, "Shh." - Yeah. - It's a better way to get out my lips. - Yeah. - I'm kind of the one that once we're at home, I'm kind of like, I don't want to keep up. But if I say anything, she's like, "I have to talk to you about it at some point." - Yeah. - And she's right. - You could say what I started saying today, as I started saying, "Just email." If it's not my working hours email me. - I like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do feel like getting married and then kind of co-mingling like so much work, and obviously we do this together, that I was like, "We have to put more effort into-- - Stop. - Reggie. - Let them do it. - No, let them do it. - Can I just voice-- - This is our first time with Reggie and I was going great. - I have to say one thing to the viewing audience about, because they don't know me as a dog. I don't want to say owner. - Yeah, yeah. - To me, Reggie is not a organism that needs a mastering. He is someone I share the earth with, and I'm lucky to share the space with him. And of course, he needs to not do certain things. Anyways, so it's not-- - He's very poorly behaved. Usually. - He did just drop me. - I will tell you one thing, he is being unbelievable today. I really feel like this is a coming-of-age moment. - Yeah. - This is the new Reggie. - No, no, no, but he is-- - He is a cool-- - He just got ruined. - I'm not. - You know, I don't know if everybody feels this way about dogs, and if you feel this way about your dogs, is I think he really does pick up on the energy. If I'm really like-- when I have people over and I'm like hyper and talkative, or if we ever get into like a spirited debate, Reggie will get-- - Yeah, they-- - And between-- - Totally. - But I feel like because you kind of have a calm energy, it's creating all of us to have a calm energy, so he's having a calm energy. - Oh, that's nice. - Son's beat you up. - Um, I have a son and a daughter, and I would imagine they could both beat me up. - Yeah. - Like, did it-- did the dynamic change where he used to be able to be stern and beat-- but now it's like-- now they're like, shut up. - He's never like the disciplinarian. They just sort of laugh when I try on-- to this day, if I try and say something serious, they kind of just walk out of the room. - Do they-- have they absorbed your movies? - And do they like watching you or part of-- - They like severance, but that-- they never saw Parks and Rack, or Party Down, or-- - They saw-- - Fuck Party Down, stepbrows. - Stepbrows, right? - Stepbrows was so important to me. Wasn't it one of those films where it didn't-- the onset wasn't as big, and then it was like a cult classic. - It's true. - It was like, wasn't-- it didn't have like the impact until it was like later. I heard you guys talking to Rud about this. It was kind of the same thing for one of those, too. - Yeah. - I can't-- - Wonder. - Anchorman is-- - No, I'm-- - Wonderless. - Wonderless. - Yeah, oh yeah. - Remember when I-- sorry. - No, you go. No, no, no, no, no. You remember when-- - I was gonna say, it's not-- - No, it's not usable. - Okay, no, you say, you say. - Okay. - When I got that role in Stepbrothers, me and my wife Naomi and Paul and his wife, they were all in a car together. And we were parked. I think we were going to a movie or something. And I was like, "You guys, I got this part." And I'm like, "Let me just tell you about a scene in the movie." And I started explaining a scene just from reading the script. And we were all laughing so fucking hard we could-- - Yeah. - You know, when you can't breathe. And it was just from describing something that didn't even exist yet. - Yeah, it's unbelievable. - And it was like this movie is gonna be so funny. And even then, I was like, "This is a movie I would see a thousand times if I was in-- - I've seen it more than 50 times. - Really? Have you really-- - Stepbrothers, would you say it's your big break? - Totally. - Totally. - Also, the other crazy thing is-- - Interesting. Talking to you, you're like the friendliest man alive. But you play a man that I want to hate. You have like the most hateful man. - So terrible. - You're so hateful in that movie. The ability to do comedy, you know, not many guys can really pull off both that well. - Yeah. - So to me, at like a level that's so high, like-- - It's true. - You're so good at falling into your character and me separating Adam Scott from the person you're playing. - You really are like a really-- I think important for the landscape of acting. - And like how people should be like looking at you and taking notes. - Like as so kind. - I remember when you came to the Severance set and we were doing this dramatic thing. And I was so excited to meet you and talk to you. And you were like, "That was so serious." - Yeah. - Like that was so dramatic. - Yeah. - And it's true. It was like sometimes you're doing something so serious. It's really hard to like maintain something that serious, you know. - I went to one shoot day on Severance. - Yeah, I remember. - What were you in New York? - Why were you there? - With Stellar? - Yeah, Ben invited me. - Yeah. - And I was like, "Oh my God, I'd love to come." - Yeah. - And then so I'm there. And I just watched them shoot one scene and it was a scene from the finale. - Yeah. - And I like watched the show. So I kind of was like, "Oh, I don't want to even see. " - Yeah. - What's happening? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But also. - But you wouldn't have been able to know what was going on. It was like. - You can't even know watching this show. - It made sense when I watched it for real. And I do watch Severance. I watch every episode. I forget the actual names of the things. But it was a scene with Patricia Arquette. I'm saying it all the wrong words. But the nature of the scene was like, "You guys just stay in the room like this." - We were like face to face. - And this is the wrong words. But what do you mean it was all the code 19? I was there when the Frogger came in. She was like, "The Frogger was a construct." - No! - And then he was like crying. It can't be. And I'm just watching. And I was so. - I wish that was the dialogue. - That was incredible. - Here's what I also like about your comedy. Some comedy films can be very charactery. - Yeah. - But I think you are. - Grounded. - Very grounded. But that's probably a testament to why you can do drama. Like you can be like dramatic scenes, right? It's very nice of you to say. I'm really excited to start a comedy again. And so I have this idea. And so we're going to start another comedy series. And I'm so excited to do something a little lighter. - Lighter, 'cause it is. - Yeah. - After a while, it is. You kind of get the. You want to, you know, get back to it. - Yeah. - Because there's nothing more fun than being with your friends and making something super stupid. - Do you think Severance, like making Severance and how like met everything is? And do you think it made you like a more anxious person? - Yeah, I don't think so. But I think that. If anything, I was just. When we first shot the show in 2020, when we started, it was October of 2020. So it was still like in New York. It was crazy. It was like lockdown. - Yeah. - We guys in New York then? Or you were out here? - I was actually in New York right then, because I was one of the first shows back of SNL performance. literally write that shit. It was right when they first introduced like outdoor eating. So it was like a party. - Yeah, they like built those little extensions of restaurants everywhere. - Yeah, it was amazing. - Amazing and a lot of them are still there. - I know, some of them they took. - Yeah, some of them they took down. - To go drinks. - To go drinks. - To go drinks. - Yeah, I didn't understand. I thought you were having like a-- - It was right. (upbeat music) - Holiday season. Oli Pops got some limited edition holiday cans. - Oh my gosh. - This crisp apple is insane. You know I'm gonna be cooking for 60 people. I'm gonna be drinking this while I'm prepping. - I'm gonna have this pomegranate sparkle while unwrapping my presents. - Oh, I'm gonna have this crisp apple while I clean up because I didn't help cook. - And it's got these holiday cans have great fiber. I think it's six grams of fiber. - Six grams of fiber, four grams of sugar. - These are great numbers. - Oh my god, we got vintage cola. - We have ginger ale. - We have crisp apple. - We have pomegranate sparkle. Find any two cans of Oli Pops in store and they'll pay you back for one. Any flavor or any retailer go to drinkolipop.com/fks. - Domino's created the domino, and now we're here. - This domino is so easy to distribute. - Ooh. - Nope, that's for her. This is for you. Did you see the distribution? How easy that was? - It was pretty seamless. I love the domino. - I love it for a lot of reasons. One of them, it's cute and like portable. - Portability is what I'm the most impressed. - Oh my, we could really take one of these stick of right in your jacket pocket in the right day. - Ooh. - Take it with you. - Take it to the-- - Studio to the bank, to the gym. - Slim trim. - I'm ready to stuff. - It is nice and sweet. - Oh, hi, Apple, I love you. Not now for me. - Wanna switch? - Why not? - That's a good pepperoni. - That's the beauty of these. - Everyone can do their own thing. We don't have to-- - I wish I had just when I got married. Like a pre-snack on the way to the walk down the aisle. - Well. - In your suit? - Yeah, I could fit it right in my suit. - You get your own domino and take it anywhere at Domino's. - You're shirt like Matt, you have like your cheeks. - I know, right. - It's like red. - No, it's not red. - It's the color of your shirt. - It's not red. - It's not red. - It's the perfect-- - The shirt's the same color as the blotch as part of the cheek in. - No, your cheeks have a very nice like tint of like pretty, like they, it's not red, it's just like a nice color. - Your blotch. Two things I wanna say before I ask my question. - Yes sir. - One, I put sunscreen on my face rather than my normal face lotion. So I might be a little blotchier than normal. And I wore this pink shirt. Which might get a reaction to sunscreen. I can't, I get a reaction to it. - Like allergic? - Yeah, like red splotchy if I put sunscreen on. - It varies, I mean, I can vary. And I can't see myself, but just the feedback I'm getting makes me feel like maybe-- - No, you look good, you look good. - Number two, I have swimmers here. And I'm not even sure that you guys are aware of that. Yeah. - I'm glad we're all aware of it now. - I'm doing this whole work day. And actually the last three work days with, I don't know what swimmers here is, but I have an ear infection and I swim. - Oh, well, you probably have swimmers here. - That's what I, did you get some of that stuff? Some of that swimmer's ear drops? - Not only do I have some of that stuff, I'm so-- - I saw something fall out of your pocket, or-- - Did it actually? - Oh, does that actually-- - Did it actually was eating off? - Yeah. - Okay, but my actual question is Ben Stiller. - Yeah. - How did you guys link up? I wish I didn't phrase it that way. - How'd you guys connect? And-- - How dare you say link up? - I know. I'm sorry that I might be trying to even pinker now, but do you think that he saw this thing in you that he has in himself, where it's like, he is so grounded and real, but knows what's funny, but even in his movies, he plays the straight man in a real way. So like, what, talk to me about Ben and you can ever see Brad's status. - No. - Oh, yes, dude. - Remind me of how does that-- - It's Mike White wrote and directed it. And it's Ben and his, he's bringing his son to college. It is so fucking good. - Very good. - It was like right before pandemic and kind of got lost in the shuffle. It's great. It's like an unbelievable performance from Ben and it's this great Mike White movie. Yeah, so good. And it is kind of, it's funny, but it's also really kind of deep. - Yeah. - Very embarrassing, personal. Like, it's really interesting. - And it's real. - I had a meeting with him because he was thinking about me for-- - Brad's status. - For Brad's status. - To play a song for Walter Mitty, the secret life of Walter Mitty. - So I had this meeting with him in a restaurant and I was like, fucking, Ben still is sitting here. And they started bringing over all this food. I'd never been in a thing with a celebrity like that. When they just give you free shit. Well, I hadn't seen it in action before and they started bringing all this food over that we didn't order. And I was like, what the fuck is going on? And it was because it was him. And then he hired me for that. And so we worked together on Walter Mitty. So that's where I got to know him and stuff. But that was a pretty long answer too. - That was a pretty simple question. I like it. - It's all good. - But yeah, I love him. And like I was so into the Ben stiller show and all of his work. So I couldn't believe I was actually working with him. And it's by far my favorite director. - Oh my god. - Escape from there. - Escape from there. - Damn more of that. - Dude, I win awards. - No. - It's gonna win. - That makes me feel better about David. - It's fun. - It's gonna win more. - I wasn't winning every award. - It's fun believeable. I've seen that like six times. - Yeah, I do see twice. - It's so good. - I don't know if it's gonna happen. - Why do you stop at the end when it's directed by Ben stiller? - Yeah. - I was like, what? That's a killer. - Yeah, that kind of change. - We were watching together the first time. Now, I have a question. Take me through your whole timeline of Paul Rudd. Like you guys are like best friends, right? - Yeah, yeah. I've known Paul since like 1992, 1992 or three. Before he blew up. - Oh yeah. - You guys went to college, didn't you? - Well, I went to this acting school, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and he had graduated already when I started there, but he was already like famous at this school 'cause he had been, he was in a Nintendo commercial. Like already, he graduated and then I got there and he was already doing that in like guest spots on TV. So people were like. - An Nintendo commercial got you famous. - Oh. - No, if you're a kid in college freshman year I'd be in a commercial, you'd be like, oh my god. - Was it a big commercial? - It's just a commercial. - I mean, in 1992, it existed. - Yeah. - Just as he was hot, he got in it. - He's an actor. - Well, and he's like the most charming person in the world. - Okay, okay. Just trying to set the scene here. - Yeah, yeah. No, for an acting school, just hearing of someone getting a job is a huge deal. - Okay. - And also back then, there were no like, everyone didn't have a camera. So you couldn't like make your own set. There was no way to like generate your own stuff. - Yeah. - So the only way to end up on television was to, you know, go and somehow find an agent. Somehow get on this. This is why when I started, I was doing extra work because I just wanted to like be on a set, you know. - The act, I always wondered if that turned into something real. - Yeah. - You're like, you saw him as an extra? - No, I'm saying like he was an extra and he's the leading man. - Oh, I told, I was a, I did background for a while. - Wow. - For how long till you felt like you'd made it? - I was in a Tia Carrera music video. And I met her recently and it was so, it was amazing. I've never seen the music video. I don't know if it even exists. But I was in the background and it was a big deal. And I was in a Danzig video. - Were you working like a norm? Were you working at like a restaurant, or like? - No, I was, I got a guest spot on a show pretty quickly. - Oh wow. - Like I was only had to do background work for a few months and then I got like a speaking role on a TV show. - And then it's. - No, then like 15 years later, I got stepbrothers. - Really? - So it was about the 15 years of like being a struggling actor. - Oh, it took me a long time. - It doesn't take everyone along. I'm, it was very hard, but I'm grateful for it now because if I had, 'cause I audition for Scream, I know what you did last summer, everything. And never got anything and came close on some stuff and watched people, I would see in audition rooms like become giant stars. - Yeah. - It was really hard. And I was buddies with Paul the whole time. And that was, that was really important too because he did, like clueless happened like in 1995 and watching how he handled it and how cool he and generous he was with me as a friend. And always like, it was just, there was never like a jealousy or a competition between us, it was always, and it was, I think due to him and who he is and how he handles himself and what a loyal good friend he is. 'Cause I was struggling for a long time as he was like, you know, getting very real, huge traction and coming a big deal. Anyway. - That can be hard on friendships. Like 15 years of working and trying to get to the thing. Like, did you ever, did you ever feel like, Okay, if it doesn't happen. and by this time, I'm gonna think about something else. - I had one moment like that. I almost got six feet under. Do you remember that? - Yes. - So me and Michael C. Hall, and I think there was someone else we were testing for that show. It was test is where you like the final audition or whatever, and I didn't get it, and that was a real low point. It's a good thing I didn't get it 'cause he was so great, but that was a low point where I was like, I hadn't worked in a really long time, and I was like, this might be the sign that I should figure something else out, but I didn't know how to do anything else. So I didn't. And then pretty soon after that, like something else popped up and it was okay. But there were a lot of points where it felt like, maybe this is it, maybe this is the big break, and then it wouldn't happen, and then something else would come along, and you never know what it's gonna be and stepbrothers sort of was that because it happened, and then that led to party down and that led to parks and the three of those things sort of constituted one sort of big break, I guess. Did you have a lot of self-confidence in that time? - Yeah, well, I don't know of its self-confidence, but it was a kind of delusion that you have to generate. And because it wasn't until I was kind of on parks and party down and stepbrothers and things started to solidify and I was kind of started getting incoming calls and I was like, oh, and started kind of seeing that, oh, I now have a career. Like it's actually coming together and realize that everything that had happened before I was like, now I'm like on solid ground and looking back, I realized, I was like, balancing on dental floors. - Yeah, yeah. - But I had convinced myself that everything was great. - Yeah. - But you have to do that. - Do you carry any of the old feeling during that 15 years that this could go away with you or are you still-- - Oh, always, always, still. - Oh, my God. - Are you still in pastor syndrome? - 100%. - How do you work on that? 'Cause how can you exist with that? Like do you do try to work on it? - Yeah, I mean, yes. And Naomi is constantly like, like I did this movie with Robert De Niro last summer. And I was talking to her on the phone and I was like, hey, so I have this question about the Irishman 'cause I love that movie. And I was like, I think tomorrow I might ask Bob this question if the time's right. And she's like, Adam, you are starring in a movie with this guy. - Yeah. - You're not like a background actor or you don't have like one scene. You can ask him a fucking question about the Irishman. - Yeah. - Like just go talk to him and I was like, no, you're right, you're right, you're-- - Oh, I thought she was gonna say, don't do it. - Yeah, that would have been probably the better advice. - Robert De Niro. - I'm sure though, I sometimes I think it's good to have a little bit 'cause I think that's probably why people connect to your character so much. It's like that part of you maybe still comes through when I have it. I mean, you don't, but you don't really have a posture. I'm just gonna draw on this. - No, but some, no, no. - I have a posture syndrome for just existing. - But yeah, me too. But I think that's sort of key to your, one of the keys to your appeal too is that your persona is someone that takes nothing for granted because you're kind of in a constant panic about everything that's happening. So everything is being examined. - Yeah, that's a good, that is. - The most donut-turned-man. That's why it's so satisfying to see the character on the show get from point A to point B because everything in between A and B is a potential pitfall. - In real life, I'd say, I'd say the show is definitely an exaggerated version of that. But there is some truth to what you see. - For sure. - Obviously, it has to be. - No, but even what you just said is the perfect description, I feel like of how you exist every single day. It's like A, you live your life of like, every morning he'll be like, well, then I gotta, and then we have this, and I have to get this done, and I gotta work on my music, and I gotta do that. And it's like. - Well, when you're not juggling several careers, where you feel like you have a lot of potential and you're getting older, you know, you haven't had kids yet. You only have such a time before even half kids. - Kids are 17 and 19. - Yeah, there becomes a sense of urgency that, you know, we gotta start really maximizing these days. - I remember seeing the first time you were on Dave. Was that the first episode? - Or was it? - He was his first appearance was season one episode eight. - Episode eight. - Is that my first? - Okay, I remember the first time you popped up on it and you guys talking, I was like, oh, I wanna hang out with those guys. Like it was so fucking funny. - Yeah, no, that was just so fun. - Real life. I just knew when I met him, that was so funny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I love, that's my favorite. Like, you know, as you go through life, you obviously wanna hang out with like the most entertaining people you've been working out with. But then it's like, as you're telling these stories, the fact that the people that he'd be coming like my close friends or the perfect people to help tell these stories. - Yeah. - You know, some people, they're really entertaining in real life, and then when the camera comes on, they will. - Yeah, no, that's very true. - I had to, I actually, I had your screen test. - You had a little screen test. - Is that right. - To be myself. Just to make sure you don't freak out from it. - No, I didn't know either. You know, it's so funny, like people will come. I remember I was, I was at some party in John. - Sometimes he whispers for no reason. - Oh, really? - Sorry, I was at some party. I was at some party. - No, and John Ham came up to me. - Yeah. - And he was like, it might be. - No, he came up to me, and he goes, dude. You were unbelievable in Dave. He's like, what else have you been in, man? I got to see some of your other work. And I'm like, so many people thought I was an actor, because the show blew up in such a big way. They didn't even know I was a musician. - But Lil Wayne was here, and he told me, when he first started watching Dave, he was like, who the hell is writing his raps? There were like, who is this actor? Like that, like everyone thought that I was an actor? - Yeah. - Because I kind of-- - It's so funny. - Yeah. - Once I started making Dave, which is a show about a guy who really thinks he can be one of the best rappers ever, making the show took up so much of my time that I actually lost time to even be a rapper. - I know, I remember, I was into the show, and I was like, when is his next, when's the album got? Like almost soon, soon. It's working on it. - And my son, too, is like, oh my god, there's a show about Lil Dick, it was such a big deal. - Yeah, they're both into your music, 100%. - I have an incredible invention if you would like to be a part of it, I just thought of it right now. - Please. - The grills, I mean, the grates, the grates to a grill. - Yeah, they're full. - Flavored. - Oh, flavored grates. - Yeah. So it's, so the grill, like-- - How do they, how do they, I don't know. - Last, the test time. - And why do you have to have about 200 different grates for different flavors, yeah. - I just was thinking about, we have a grill that's gas, and I thought, I've tried to grill it hard, then I realized it's just like turning out a stove. - You tried to grill tart? - I tried to grill some tart. - You could have like, boys in Barry. - Yeah. - Yeah, you'd have whatever you want. - And you'd have like a booklet with all the different grates in it. - Yeah, and you've only a person who cooks here, I think that's a real stupid idea. - Well, you don't have to go in on it. - Look at that. - I think that's great. - Don't get in on that investment. I am part of the path. - Yes, Adam Scott's grills, my-- - That's right, 100%-- - Great Scott's grills. - Great Scott grills. Great Scott grills. - Great, I'm back in the investment. - Just based on the name. - And you're the perfect guy to be in all the commercials. - Oh, yeah. 'Cause everyone knows part of my brand, grilling. - I gotta say, when I turn on the grill, I just started turning it on sometimes 'cause I like the way it smells. It's like instantly takes me, it's like Saturday, it's a party, I wanna drink, but you don't drink, so. - Yeah, but-- - You ever drink? - I did, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It was never a thing. I just stopped because-- - It was a prop. - It was a prop. - It was a prop. Huge prop. - Because I was in alcohol. - It's not, because I ran over-- - Because-- - Yeah, because I got, like, 7 DUI, so it was not a big deal. No, I stopped as like an experiment, 'cause I couldn't handle, I hangover's any more, so I just stopped as an experiment and this kind of kept going, and now it's been like a while. I only have two speeds. There's either not drinking, or like drinking to get very drunk. I don't understand. - I don't have two speeds, I truly enjoy two glasses of wine. - You like wine, glass of wine. - You have one, you have one speed. - Wine. - When I get drunk, I'm still in complete control. - You think that. - You were in, couldn't be in the last control. I actually hold that, and I'll pull up. - You keep going. - Okay, obviously there's a tipping point for everything. - Yeah. - And when I pass a tipping point, I lose, perhaps. But even when I pass that tipping point, I'm still aware all the time. I never like, I don't remember last night. - Well, that can happen, and when that happens, I feel like I can defend my behavior, but I feel like, even if I'm at the tipping point, the solar system. me is still sober. He's aware that the external shell has consumed the chemicals to topple the scales, but the soul is still kind of sober aware of it. I'm never unaware that I've been little guy pulling the levers is still there. He's been worked harder, but he's ready to work. I feel like I can really reel it in and my personality doesn't. No, your personality doesn't change. I just, eventually, yeah, because there are those people who drink and then there is just like, uh-oh. Yeah, but I strive. I would, I'd like to show you when it's, when day, don't worry, you do approve. It's just these few. Is it the motor oil one if you don't want? Don't do anyone in the bus. You add your mind. Oh, no? Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, no, not that. I would, I would like to show you what Dave likes to call it. There is a good, incontrol. There's a good example. I think I even said I'm in control. I know. Hold on, hold on. This is a good example. I was in control here. I know everything right now. It's not worse to engage. I know there's everything right now, but it's not worse than that. I'm fully aware that it's exactly what you were just saying. Yeah, look, look, he's fully aware. Okay, no, I'd like to say an example. I'd like to show you the next video. But I was aware. That was like proof of what you were just saying. Yeah, guys, he couldn't, but he was also like saying the next one. Okay, okay, okay. Here. Oh god. I'd like to show you fully aware.

What about mushrooms? Do you guys like mushrooms? I've barely done it. I did it for the first time during COVID and like when I take a drug I'm thinking how is this going to go wrong? I don't enter it from like a positive like so I'm always so we don't take a lot. We were very scared. We take like a buzzy amount and I thought like the buzz of mushrooms I didn't like that feeling. It felt like jittery. I felt like I didn't feel like I was getting any of the advantages that I got from like weed were like to loose. Do you do mushrooms? Is that a positive? I have and the thing that I've experienced that I enjoy is you know that it's all in chocolate now but you can get these chocolates where you break off these like pre-ordained smaller amounts and you just have like it's like a glass of wine. It's just like a little kind of even thing for like at the end of the day. Like a warm hug. Yes and then go to bed. When I did mushrooms when we we tried it I do remember we'd walk around and the colors were more vibrant and I feel like that lasted with me. Like I still think colors are more vibrant now when I look. That's interesting. Then they were when I first did it but maybe I'm just still high.
