"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 know one thinks about anyone else. We're only thinking about ourselves all the time." — Adam Devine
"I'm not passionate about singing in acapella. I, uh, no, I'm like, I still don't consider myself a singer. I'm just like, good at it. Like, I can just do it." — Adam Devine
"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." — Adam Devine
The episode opens with a humorous recap of a previous segment where host Alex Cooper intentionally confused Adam Devine with Adam Levine, highlighting the internet's reaction and the subjective nature of humor. Devine then joins the conversation, immediately addressing the recurring confusion between himself and the Maroon 5 frontman, sharing an anecdote about meeting Adam Levine at a Halloween party. He details how this mix-up led to unintended DMs and media attention during a celebrity scandal, emphasizing his efforts to steer clear of personal drama.
The discussion transitions to Devine's upbringing in Nebraska, exploring the lack of specific stereotypes associated with the state and his own perceived "sturdy" persona. He touches upon the subtle Nebraska accent and contrasts it with the more pronounced Philadelphia accent, leading to a lighthearted debate about regional speech patterns and the perceived aggression of fans in cities like Philadelphia and Boston. Devine shares his philosophy on not caring what others think, advocating for self-acceptance and understanding that most people are preoccupied with their own lives.
The latter half of the interview delves into Devine's career, starting with his early days in improv and the formation of the show "Workaholics." He recounts the serendipitous audition process for "Pitch Perfect," where he initially mistook it for a baseball movie and ended up singing the "Full House" theme song. Devine also discusses his marriage, the humorous challenges of moving in together (including a closet full of "alien fleshlights"), and his collaboration with Rebel Wilson on "Pitch Perfect." The episode concludes with discussions about his upcoming projects, including a "Workaholics" movie and a spin-off series, and a playful attempt at an Australian accent.
