Theo Von
I just showered, unfortunately.
Adam Devine
It looks good on you.
Theo Von
I'm not.
Adam Devine
I'm not afraid to say it. That wet look looks good on you, Theo.
Theo Von
You think?
Adam Devine
Yeah. I'm not high in line.
Theo Von
Let me see it. Pulled it up. Let me get a gander at it. Well, I don't know.
Adam Devine
Oh, damn, son.
Theo Von
Yeah, just. I could just.
Adam Devine
Sorry.
Theo Von
No, don't be. I like it. I haven't heard it in a while. I saw you stretching a few a little bit. Was that what I saw?
Adam Devine
Yeah, you did. You gotta stay limber for all this sitting we're doing. I'm getting at the age now where I can't sit for too long. Dude.
Theo Von
Really?
Adam Devine
Yeah. That sucks.
Theo Von
What do you mean?
Adam Devine
Yeah, just sitting just freaking bothers me.
Theo Von
It bother. Yeah. You know, I do notice. I thought about this. Like, we're not supposed to just be sitting around. Like, imagine to say you went in the woods, right?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And you saw all the animals are having fun.
Adam Devine
Yep.
Theo Von
Right? Always.
Adam Devine
They always are.
Theo Von
Yeah. Most of them are. Some of them are beating, killing. There's some.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Some. Some of them. But eating is fun, though. Most of them had A guitar?
Theo Von
Yeah, yeah. There's violence. A lot of it's by the streams and so, you know, kind of.
Adam Devine
That's fun.
Theo Von
Yeah, it's fun. If you're into that. Yeah.
Adam Devine
And I think most animals. And I'm also into water, but if you're in it.
Theo Von
But that's where things get violent is down there. Oh, that's what I'm saying is. Oh. I think nature's a blast. Right?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
You see it? They're hurting the animals. The woodpecker comes down, he's like, he makes noise and people are like, get the out of here. We want to sleep in.
Adam Devine
But you don't think for him that's kind of fun, though. It's just like, wake up, motherfucker.
Theo Von
Yeah. He's obviously been using or whatever. He's one of the animals that got a hold of a bag somewhere.
Adam Devine
Absolutely.
Theo Von
Who else is, who else is rolling up like that just so early?
Adam Devine
Just slamming their head against a wall.
Theo Von
Yeah. And then taking off.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Unless he's like Morse coding a message from that Evans or from like AC DC or something, you know. But, you know, I'm sure every animal, they all conjoined Hate that. MFer conjointively, I think they are when they see. Unless one person had to get up early for work and he's like, guys, I had to invite him.
Adam Devine
Yeah. And this, we all started, we started to talk about this because of stretching.
Theo Von
We. I'm just saying. So stretching, like, is. Oh, you said sitting down. Yeah. So I'm just saying. Yeah. I don't know if we're supposed to be sitting down. Like, say if you went into nature.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And you saw a bunch of animals, they were doing stuff, scratching them backs on trees, eating berries and tickling each other, whatever. And then there's one animal off to the side who's sitting in a chair and he's vaping or working on his computer.
Adam Devine
Yep.
Theo Von
You'd be like that. Anna. Something's not right.
Adam Devine
He's gonna have some achy hips.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Because humans, they weren't sitting back in the day.
Theo Von
That's what I'm saying.
Adam Devine
I mean, rocks, they're, they're not comfortable. We have all these, we've made all these comfy chairs get us all sloven.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Right. So that's, that's what I, I, I live in Orange county, so I drove up here to do this, among some other things. But I drove up here and it took like an hour 40min. And then I get out of my car and my hips are like.
Theo Von
Yeah. My body starts to. The top starts to lean forward. I'll. My bot. My. My top half of my body will start to lean forward like that.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Well, do you know I. My body fell apart, dude. You know, I was hit by a cement truck when I was a kid.
Theo Von
Were you really?
Adam Devine
I was, dude.
Theo Von
And how full or was it had it already?
Adam Devine
Full cement truck. No way. Even if it wasn't a full cement truck. Cuz that's still up. But it was a full one, dude.
Theo Von
Full wind's really bad.
Adam Devine
I think. 32 tons.
Theo Von
Oh my.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
Theo Von
Dude, it's.
Adam Devine
It hit me. I ran over the like the first under the wheels and then spit me out. I flew 500ft. Dude.
Theo Von
You're lying.
Adam Devine
Truths.
Theo Von
Oh my God. What's the longest field goal ever kicked? That's insane. Bring that up.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I probably. I mean has to be more than five. No, maybe not. How long is the 66 yards? So quick math. I think that's a thousand feet. Quick math. No. What is that?
Theo Von
188. 188ft.
Adam Devine
Oh my God. So that's like more than double.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Wow.
Theo Von
Oh my God.
Adam Devine
Wow.
Theo Von
What did you land in?
Adam Devine
I. I skidded up this like up the street or down the street, however it goes. And I. I was hit in one county and I landed in another county because the street was like the dividing line between the counties.
Theo Von
Still count?
Adam Devine
Yes, still counts. As. As a cool factoid.
Theo Von
And is this the style you got hit by? Would you get hit by.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it was a similar style. Yeah. So I got taken under those wheels.
Theo Von
Those Peterbilts are nice, huh?
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's a solid truck.
Theo Von
And now what happened? Were you. Because I have a friend who got hit by a train. Right.
Adam Devine
And he's doing funny.
Theo Von
Oh yeah, I agree. Yeah, he was doing great. He was listening to I think Alanis Morissette or something. Walking with his headphones on.
Adam Devine
Yeah. And he was like, isn't this ironic?
Theo Von
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
Well don't you think? Because it's like crazies listening to my song getting hit by train.
Theo Von
Craziest thing was he'd been listening also to Train earlier.
Adam Devine
See, that would actually be ironic.
Theo Von
Yeah, but I think. But it. That joke only works if he had been listening to Train earlier.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We. We dialed that one in.
Theo Von
Yeah, we did a good job. But yeah, you believe that they're noise canceling and then you're like no, they're not that noise canceling. He couldn't hear a train coming. That's and so that's wild, but it's effective is all I'm saying. Those. Those heavens are effective.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So you're walking. Where are you when this happens?
Adam Devine
I was. It was Omaha, Nebraska, and we were going across the street to get candy or whatever. And I mean, true facts were we were going to, like, we would steal pages out of Playboy or Penthouse magazines. And we were like, you know, 12, 11, 11. And so that was our move. We would go there, we'd rip. I don't know why we didn't just steal the magazine.
Theo Von
Because the ripping sounds loud.
Adam Devine
It's way louder. But in little kid brain, I was like, it's not as bad if we only steal a few pages.
Theo Von
That's fair.
Adam Devine
Like, it's where we're going to get in less trouble if we get caught.
Theo Von
Right? Like, I got one page.
Adam Devine
I only got a couple of pages.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
I got like half a tit here. Mom. What?
Theo Von
I killed a magazine.
Adam Devine
It's just a magazine. You still have the rest?
Theo Von
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
And they say they. They buy it for the article. So I left the articles so we would do that. And so my one friend was across the street, or my two friends were across the street, and they say, come on. And I took that. As coast is clear. Coast wasn't clear. Theo. Yeah. Three symmetrics are going up the hill as two are coming down. And I couldn't see the other side of the street. We. It was like suburbs or new houses were sprouting up all over. So three were coming up, two are coming down heels. Come on. I'm like, take his word for it. Walked out behind the third cement truck. Boom, Bam. Hot damn.
Theo Von
Did you even have a second to see it or you just. Lights out.
Adam Devine
I don't remember it. This. This is all what people have told me. My friend could have thrown me in front of the cement truck for all I know. But I don't. I don't think so. Danny Hendrix did not try to murder me. I don't think so.
Theo Von
Danny.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Or Den Denty or Dandy.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So that's like, you have to me.
Adam Devine
Yeah, maybe.
Theo Von
I don't know. May.
Adam Devine
I don't think so. He's a good guy.
Theo Von
But is he. What does he do now?
Adam Devine
He. I mean, dude, I don't know what he does right now. Danny Hendricks. There he is. Wow. Great job, dude. Staffing ninja helps the medical labs located and attract exceptional talent. So that's, you know, he's got a real job.
Theo Von
That's cool.
Adam Devine
He's got a nice smile.
Theo Von
Yeah. He does. Very nice.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Handsome guy. He's got.
Theo Von
We didn't have to put his smile back together off of a street curb either.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's true. Like, I had to cobble myself back together, but. But yeah. So from that all those injuries, I am now like my body's just all up.
Theo Von
Well, how long. How long were you in that? Were you in the hospital for a minute?
Adam Devine
I was in for like a month and a half, but then I had like two dozen surgeries within a short. Dude, my legs are all up. Look at this. It looks like uncooked chicken. Can I show you?
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Does it gross you out?
Theo Von
Well, it's okay. I can see it.
Adam Devine
Okay. Wow. Okay, that's a real deal right there.
Theo Von
Flat.
Adam Devine
Yeah. That looks like some uncooked chicken meats.
Theo Von
Damn homies got a flat on there.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And is that.
Adam Devine
Wow.
Theo Von
Can I touch it?
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah, touch that.
Theo Von
Oh, my God. That's magic.
Adam Devine
It's very smooth, right? This is what like. Like older ladies, this is what. They want their skin not to look like, but to feel like. Yeah, right. Touching.
Theo Von
Oh, that's off road skin.
Adam Devine
Yeah, but that's kind of smooth, right?
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Again, I don't think you're getting.
Theo Von
Yeah, let me touch the under.
Adam Devine
Yeah, get the underbelly of it. I can't feel that.
Theo Von
The underside tickles me a little. Touching it.
Adam Devine
I can't feel that.
Theo Von
You can't really?
Adam Devine
No.
Theo Von
So a lot of nerve damage. Like, was that thing just hanging on? What happened? Because that looks kind of rekindled, like it looks like.
Adam Devine
And then this side isn't. Wow.
Theo Von
Okay.
Adam Devine
Bad.
Theo Von
That one has a dip in it.
Adam Devine
Looks like.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
This is. Because this is like the actual muss muscle. And then it dips. Dips here.
Theo Von
Oh, my God. You know what it reminds me of that Body wars thing that comes to all the. The exhibits. You know, Body World, I think it's called. Body World, I believe, which. And it's also Body World is pretty incredible, man. It is kind of fascinating. There's one where they spliced a pregnant person.
Adam Devine
You have to. Oh, you have to slice a pregnant person.
Theo Von
That's a way to do a gender reveal, I think. But the exhibit is set up so that one starts at the skeletal system. It's an exhibition showcasing human bodies that have been preserved through a process called plastination and dissected to display bodily systems. It opened in Tampa.
Adam Devine
Oh.
Theo Von
Which is. I wouldn't have expected that There's Tampa. They allow a lot of stuff.
Adam Devine
Yeah. But it seems like a I mean, it seems like a thing that would. That would sprout up in, like, Boston. Like, some Harvard people were like, yo, let's start up this thing, right? You know, Tampa. It doesn't feel like it should.
Theo Von
That's a good point.
Adam Devine
You know, but they may have won.
Theo Von
Somebody want it in a lawsuit. I think it probably had to start in Florida, maybe based on legalities or something.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it was. It was a divorce.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Like, someone's like, why I'm keeping the exhibit. So that idea we had, I'm keeping that and I'm. I'm running with it.
Theo Von
So the exhibit displays internal organs and organic systems, body stage and active poses and fetuses in various stages of development.
Adam Devine
It opened in 1995. Guess when I was ran over, dude. 1995.
Theo Von
You're lying.
Adam Devine
Oh, my God. Maybe they read about me in the paper and we're like, we. I have an idea.
Theo Von
Yeah. Let's take this show on the road.
Adam Devine
Let's take it on the road.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
I thought. I mean, I wonder if I. I won't shut up about getting hit by a symmetric. I hope. I don't. Hope I didn't retell that story.
Theo Von
It's fascinating, man. No, I don't think so at all. And here's a little bit of real bodies exhibit. And you just get to see the texture. That's what this reminds me of. It. You have a very kind of beef jerky from the knees down, but smooth. But smooth. No, it's nice.
Adam Devine
It's not a hard jerky.
Theo Von
Well, it just also seems. You seem strong.
Adam Devine
Thank you. Thank you.
Theo Von
Do you think your body had to. Your legs had to be stronger after this?
Adam Devine
Because it was a ton of physical, like years and years and years of physical therapy. And what sucks now, dude, is I'm back in the physical therapy grind. So, yeah, whatever happened. Like, three years ago, I was shooting this show in Germany and I, like, was wiggling around and I, like, kicked my leg up and, like, I was like, ping. And something pinged down here in my groin. I was like. I got my balls popping out. You know, like, you had a hernia and, like, my insides are oozing out. Not oozing out.
Theo Von
They weren't like.
Adam Devine
So then it was just something, like, got tweaked. And then it was just like, bing, bing, bing, bing. And the muscles all. All got fucked up. And so I had two surgeries. I was like, it's my hips I'm going to have. So I got hip surgeries on each side. It wasn't the hips. So it's been three years of, like, trying to cobble my body back together. And I was so fucked up, and I was so tight and tense, and I was getting these spasms. I went to the doctor. The doctor, one month before my son was born was like, you're dying. Swear to God, Theo. He goes, you have stiff person syndrome, which is a real disease. It sounds like a boner joke, but it is not. And he's like, you got stiff person syndrome. And that essentially the, like, average lifespan of someone with stiff person syndrome is like five or six years. And I was like, I'm dying. I'm dying. So for a solid couple months, I was like, my son is just born. I'm going to die.
Theo Von
And what are you feeling like? You feel like a gingerbread cookie kind of style or like a house stiff? Are you. At that point?
Adam Devine
I. I'm a lot better now. I was so stiff, I couldn't. Like, I could hurt. I, Like, I would move and everything would go crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack. And it hurts to just move at all. And I would have these crazy spasms. And, like, it would. And they would happen in my stomach sometimes, and it looks like I'm pregnant. Like, a little arm is. Is pushing out.
Theo Von
It was wild. Bring some of that up. Stiff person syndrome. This is a real. It's a real.
Adam Devine
Celine Dion has it.
Theo Von
Oh.
Adam Devine
So then. So then I. I go through all this testing, and then they were like, you know, we don't think you have this. We think this is from your accident. And I'm like, okay, thank God I don't have this. And then I go through another six months. I'm on the set of the Righteous Gemstones. I'm not getting any better. In fact, I'm getting worse. And I tell Danny, I'm like, dude, I have to dip. I have to go see the. The stiff person syndrome guy. And it was so scary because he's the guy that's going to tell me if I actually have it.
Theo Von
Oh, really?
Adam Devine
And I'm there. It's after hours. And they saw me special, you know? And I just hear his little click clack, click clack of his old man Dr. Shoes. And he comes and he has those eyebrows that are like, yeah, wizard.
Theo Von
Like, you know, eyebrows that. Like, a bird will land on one.
Adam Devine
Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, if you have eyebrows like that, you're like. You have wisdom, right?
Theo Von
Yeah, definitely.
Adam Devine
If.
Theo Von
Yeah. People who trim their eyebrows are obviously dumb.
Adam Devine
Yeah. You're not. Yeah, dude, you gotta Let those things sprout if you're lucky enough to have some wiry brows. And so he comes, and luckily he tells me, I do not have it, so thank God. But it was, like, a wild ride where I'm like, I think I'm dying. And now. Now I'm like, it's from my accident. It sucks. But hopefully I can get better, you know?
Theo Von
So some of the mental fear is. Is going away because you got the verdict.
Adam Devine
And then I think from that, some of the physical has gotten a little better because the mental, because I'm not just, like. Because I wasn't sleeping. I was sleeping, like, three hours a night. I was just going online, sitting on the toilet, watching tik tok videos of, like, people with, like, that are like, I'm living with stiff person syndrome. And it's. I'm living an okay life. And you're like, oh, this is. I'm doing good. It's like, I'm doing good.
Theo Von
Somebody set me on a count so I can look at the children or whatever.
Adam Devine
Yeah, totally.
Theo Von
Totally. You're like, elf on a shelf, dude.
Adam Devine
That's exactly what it was. And I'm like. And it's. I feel so bad for these people. And also, in turn, I'm like, this is gonna be me, dude. I'm gonna, like. My wife is just gonna have to, like, wheel me into the living room as I watch my, like, little son walk for his first steps. You know, I think it's gonna be like that, but luckily it's not. So that's been since I saw you last, dude.
Theo Von
That's been doing.
Adam Devine
That's what I've been doing.
Theo Von
And that's so stressful. I can imagine, man. I'm so sorry to go through that.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Unbelievable. And where you started, like, so that's.
Adam Devine
Why I was stretching. That's why.
Theo Von
Well, you can get dysplasia, too. That's one of the things that.
Adam Devine
So dogs get a lot.
Theo Von
Well, a lot of Australian shepherds get it. My friend Scott has an Australian shepherd.
Adam Devine
People say, I'm an Australian shepherd.
Theo Von
As a human, I could see that a little bit. Dysplasia refers to abnormal development of growth of cells or tissues, which can be mild, moderate, or severe and can sometimes be a precursor to cancer.
Adam Devine
Oh.
Theo Von
Oh, I didn't know that.
Adam Devine
I didn't know that. I thought that was when your. Your hips get all tight.
Theo Von
Yeah. Let's look at hip dysplasia.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Hip dysplasia.
Theo Von
This guy's trying to Upsell us.
Adam Devine
I thought that was all. That'd always be like a kind of a cool name for like a 90s hip hop group.
Theo Von
If you know.
Adam Devine
Hip dysplasia.
Theo Von
Yeah. Hip dysplasia condition where the hip joint does not develop properly.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Resulting in abnormal fit between the ball and socket of the hip. The exact cause of hip dysplasia is unknown, but it may be related to genetics, position during pregnancy and history of hip dysplasia in a family.
Adam Devine
Don't have that. Thank God.
Theo Von
God, dude.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Now, were there things. Were you having to roll out your legs and stuff? Like, tell me some where they roll.
Adam Devine
Out every day, dude.
Theo Von
I have to roll out.
Adam Devine
Yeah. I. I carry around like the ball. The ball. I really with. I do acupuncture once a week. I do bodywork at least once a week. I do a thing called functional patterns, which is. It teaches you like how to stand properly using weights and different kind of things. And then I do regular physical therapy. And that's about it right now. But like. And then I do chiropractor that hooks me up with like this machine that zaps you like a tens unit. Like a stem pads.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
But like this is supposedly like the hot machine that zaps you even more. I don't know even what it does, but I'm like doing everything. So like right now, when I'm not currently working on a project, it's like five days a week, all week.
Theo Von
Physical therapy.
Adam Devine
Every week. Physical therapy type stuff.
Theo Von
Yeah, man.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
That's like having another child. It's almost like having another child. It's like having to take care of yourself. Like, that is really extensive.
Adam Devine
It's so annoying. And then like I might do this movie and it shoots in South Africa.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And I'm like running around and it's like an action sort of move. And I'm like, oh, am I gonna myself up again? So now I'm like looking at projects with little side eye going like, can I handle this?
Theo Von
Yeah. What about a calm project?
Adam Devine
Yeah. I need a nice chill, like.
Theo Von
But peeping Tom type of thing.
Adam Devine
Oh, if I could get a peeping Tom gig, dude, that's where I'd really shine on the ladder. Yeah.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
If I'm just perched up in a. In a tree. But I have like a nice chair, like a de stand, you know, and. But it's just me just like oogling someone. That'd be a good gig. Dude, it's Sydney Sweeney or someone in it. I don't know.
Theo Von
Or your wife.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Look, it's just acting. Yeah, it's just acting, babe. Oh, yeah. If you got January, John's in there, you got. Who else can you.
Adam Devine
A lot of people. A lot of people, dude. Rear Window, that's a.
Theo Von
That's in Hitchcock, wasn't it? Rear Window?
Adam Devine
I think so.
Theo Von
Yeah. That's Rear Window, I think was about butt stuff, wasn't it? That was an early.
Adam Devine
An early anal film. One of the first anal films.
Theo Von
I think it was about proctology. It was like a proctologist. Oh, I didn't know a proctologist can't get his act together.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Man, that's so wild. Thanks for sharing that, dude. Yeah. When you were a kid, how long did it affect you? Like, say, after the accident happened, how long was it, like, was it like a daily thing that affected you? Probably.
Adam Devine
Oh, for sure. I couldn't walk for about two years and then. But then eighth grade, your homie played football. Oh, yep.
Theo Von
Really?
Adam Devine
Yeah, it was so bad, dude. But they were like, yeah, he could play. And then it was just. They made me an offensive lineman, dude. I can't move. It was just like. But I was pretty strong from all.
Theo Von
Go around on it.
Adam Devine
Yeah, like, don't hit me.
Theo Von
Yeah, just.
Adam Devine
But my mom. My mom was, like, so worried about me, right? So she put shin guards on me and arm guards on me. So I was hitting people like.
Theo Von
Yeah, you're like. Like a soccer friend. Yeah, dude.
Adam Devine
I would. My dad was like, take your elbow and jam it underneath their. Their chin. So it's just me going like, dig. And they're like. And I actually. I was, like, kind of decent. Like.
Theo Von
It worked.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it worked.
Theo Von

Adam Devine
The end, dude, my dad's a dirty dog.
Theo Von
Guide you like that? Yeah.
Adam Devine
Did my dad, like, I don't know how your parents were, but my dad. I remember as a kid I was getting bullied, you know, a little bit, I'm sure, dude. Yeah. But before. Before the accident. Before. Yeah, it was. I don' it was just like, there was a bully, right? And. And my dad was like, dude, is. Does he. He picks on you? Is he a lot bigger than you? And I'm like, he's way bigger than me. He was held back a grade, so this guy was like a monster, dude. And it was in, like, fourth. Dumb.
Theo Von
He's held back.
Adam Devine
He's a big dummy.
Theo Von
Just let the dumb go with their friends.
Adam Devine
Let him Go.
Theo Von
That's a scary part when you keep. You're like, hey, this.
Adam Devine
You're holding it back. And now he's going to be. Now he's mad.
Theo Von
Now he's.
Adam Devine
Because everyone knows he's stupid.
Theo Von
He's angry and. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah. So now he's in my grade and. And he. Five. Yeah. I smell the blood of Adam. And then he is, like, picking on me. And my dad was like, hit him as hard as you can in the face and then run away. He's like that. Like, try to knock him the out. And then he's bigger than you. And I'm like, huh? He's like, then get out of there.
Theo Von
Right.
Adam Devine
So the next day, I was like. He was picking on me, and I just was like. And I punched him right in the nose. Did not knock him out, but he didn't attack. He cried like a. Yeah, he did. Yeah. And then. And then he. And then I think I became his bully, which in turn, I've actually heard. I've told this story on. On my podcast. This is important. And I told that story, and then I found through the grapevine that he thinks that I was his bully. He doesn't remember bullying me. He only remembers me bullying him afterwards. Because afterwards I just took my dad's advice, right? So he was, like, talking in class. I just got out a book and hit him in the back of the head.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah. And, like, he was talking at the top of the stairs. I kicked him and he fell down the stairs, dislocated his shoulder. Yeah, dude. So I think I was, like, really violent.
Theo Von
Yeah. It sounds like you don't remember things correctly. Yeah, it sounds like you were.
Adam Devine
I did.
Theo Von
A violent guy. It does.
Adam Devine
It does. But I thought in my head, he's the aggressor. Maybe not. Maybe I'm the. A little piece of. But I thought I was in the right. But I was like, I'm smaller, so I have to be more violent or else I'm gonna. I'm gonna be the one getting my ass kicked.
Theo Von
So we. Yeah, we had a kid at after school care. We went to religious after school care because it was. They would donate it to you if you prayed a lot or something. So my mom would get a couple prayers in, and then when you care for the kids or whatever.
Adam Devine
Good deal.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah. So she was hitting the urinal or something? No, it's not a urinal. What is it where you pray?
Adam Devine
Confessional.
Theo Von
Confessional, Right.
Adam Devine
Way different than urinal.
Theo Von
Definitely. Definitely. Yeah.
Adam Devine
God, I. I hope this. God, please make this piss come out. Right. I'm sorry.
Theo Von
Yeah, no, it's okay, dude. But yeah, so, yeah, she would put up. She would, like, make a bunch of deposits in the confessional or whatever, and then they gave you free child care for the after school. Right? And we had this one kid named Jeep was his name. He was named after a vehicle, right?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So they named him Jeep. I was like, well, that's not how it works, but that is. My buddy Scott's daddy was like, you know what? If he's. He'd be a mania. Go up on that upper deck and hum a piece of concrete off at him.
Adam Devine
And did you do that?
Theo Von
I don't remember if we did it or not, but I just remember that advice being like, that is aggressive advice.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
But, yeah, Jeep was problematic, and he would body slam other kids and stuff.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it sucks, dude. Yeah, so.
Theo Von
But everybody had a bully, man. But you talked about on a new podcast. You have a new podcast. Wait, I know this. With the guys from Workaholics, you guys started a new podcast?
Adam Devine
That's right. It's not new. We've been doing it a while now, but.
Theo Von
But you re. Pick it up or something. Yeah, we.
Adam Devine
We've just. We don't promote it, so we've just been doing it in silence. Yeah. No one knows about it. It's called. This is important. It's. Yeah. Me and the Workaholics, guys. It's super fun. Yeah, it's fun, dude.
Theo Von
And what a way to keep that thing alive. What a way to keep an experience alive.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's just a fun way to get together. It was during the pandemic, actually. We started it, and we were like, dude, we never see each other anymore. We're bored. Let's just crank this out.
Theo Von
Bring up a photo of the gang right there with the pod.
Adam Devine
Yeah. This important. We're actually pitching a. A new show together. Yeah. So the boys might be back. Yeah.
Theo Von
That's so cool.
Adam Devine
Yeah, we're. Yeah.
Theo Von
What a great group you got with, too.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
It's rare that you have a show. Right. Like Workaholics, which was such a hit, and then you now get to have an experience where you guys are still kind of together, even podcasting. Right. And with gemstones ending. What's it like when something, like, big like that ends? Like, what's it like when a project that you've done for a few years ends like. I know. Even just doing a movie that it was like the last day. It felt like the last day of School and it was like. And we weren't even. And we were kind of close but it only been, you know, maybe 30 days. But this is years of your life. What's that?
Adam Devine
Dude, it's way different like a movie. Doing movies is so fun, right? Like it's a black. It's a lot of work. Like way more work than people think they, they think. It's all glitz and glamour. It's kind of sucks.
Theo Von
It's a nightmare.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's a lot.
Theo Von
It really is a nightmare. It's a living. You're up and you're down and you're up and you're down. You're almost like a zombie that has to do some stuff.
Adam Devine
I love it though. I, I, I love like putting all the little together and you feel like you're the quarterback of a football team and you know, the whole crew's working together and everybody's working for one common goal. But then when it's raps a movie, you really only spent like a two months together or however long. And so it's like saying goodbye. And it's, you know, it's, it's difficult because you made friends with some of these people. But then on a TV show it's years and years of your life.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And you really form like real friendships with some of these people. So I like that better in the way that you're like some of these crew people I'm going to know for the rest of my life. And then it's just nice to build a relationship. So that's what I love about tv. And I'm like, I'm trying to pitch another show with the workhole skies and working on a few other projects that I hope I can get off the ground TV wise. Because it's nice just to have something that you can come back to every year and grow with the characters and you know, have it morph over time like gemstones ending like that show was a wild ride, dude. It got us through the pandemic, through us, through two strikes, through all these ups and downs, all this turmoil. It was nice to come back and have this be, you know, kind of home base. And I know you just recorded with Danny a couple weeks ago.
Theo Von
Yeah, it was great.
Adam Devine
Oh, isn't he the best dude?
Theo Von
He's so great. I was a little bit nervous. I wish I just talked about more regular stuff. We talked about like, like some family stuff. It was great.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it was great.
Theo Von
You know, you just always kind of have your druthers, you know.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
Yeah, but I didn't know. I had no clue what he's going to be like. There's not a ton of stuff out there about him.
Adam Devine
Well, he, he likes to be mysterious.
Theo Von
You know, and it's good. He does a great job of it. And he was talking about how, like, by not having social media and all that kind of stuff, it just keeps him, it lets him have his brain space for himself. He's like, you have to have time to be kind of just where your brain's not doing anything, you know?
Adam Devine
And he's so good about, like doing what he does and not feel. I think it's so easy just to be like, I have to be everywhere. I have to be doing. I. And I, I feel this way sometimes. I'm like, why don't I have a Snapchat presence? Like, snap, who am I? Yeah, I'm not, I'm not like a 14 year old tick tock girl.
Theo Von
Like, yeah, you'd be a pedophile if you had one.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I don't need to be a pedophile. I just want to. Everyone's doing it.
Theo Von
The. It is Hollywood. Hollywood, man.
Adam Devine
Yeah, so he's, he's. And he's just the coolest boss man. It was so, yeah, you know, you meet him and you're like, I was the same way. You're a little on your heels. You're a little intimidated, right? Because he's such a presence. And I remember the first time I met him, I was. It was at an after party for like, this is the end or something. And we were doing a movie that Seth Rogen produced, Game over man, which I did with the Workaholics guys. And so we were there at the after party and I was trying to smoke with Seth, like go toe to toe with him. And I smoke weed. I'm good at smoking weed. I would say not as good as Seth Rogen.
Theo Von
Yeah, he's. Yeah, he looks like part of a joint.
Adam Devine
Yes, he looks human joint. And so I'm, I'm so. I'm like in a daze, fully crossfaded. And also he doesn't drink, but I do. So I'm like, just guzzling vodka while still trying to keep up with him and through this.
Theo Von
And you have stiff person syndrome. Pre stiff person.
Adam Devine
This is pre my stiff. But out, through this cloud emerges Danny McBride. And he's on like my Mount Rushmore, you know, favorite comedians.
Theo Von
And just seeing him walk up, he just says this. Everything that he says is his character. So it's like, yeah, it's just him.
Adam Devine
Yeah. And. And I was like, on my heels. And so I go, you're Danny McBride. And he's like, dude, yeah, I know. He's like, hey, man, nice to meet you. And then I looked at him and I said, you're a bright shooting star. What? Like, what the fuck?
Theo Von
You're a bright shooting star.
Adam Devine
I said, I told him, you're a bright shooting star, which I think is.
Theo Von
Like a Native American type of thing.
Adam Devine
It might be a Native American, but it's also like, I think from Boogie Nights or something. And so I said, you're a bright shooting star. And he's like, yeah, okay, man. And I grabbed my girlfriend at the time, and I was like, we have to leave.
Theo Von
To leave.
Adam Devine
And she was like, I'm having a good time. Why are we leaving? I'm like, I just called Danny McBride a bright shooting star.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And she was like, you're right. Let's get out of here. Like, yeah, you're out of your mind, dude. Let's get out of here.
Theo Von
But he.
Adam Devine
But when he cast me on the show, he did not remember that. I think he also was pretty cross faded as well. So he didn't remember that.
Theo Von
He might have been cooking with Seth.
Adam Devine
Yeah, he might have been also cooking. Cooking with Seth.
Theo Von
So dang, dude. That's crazy.

Yeah. So thank. Thank God.

Yeah, he just like, I don't know, it's tough because you, it's tough because you want to impress him, but you also want to just learn about him. There was a lot of little stuff and to know that he liked the directing side and the thinking about in the program that he, that he thinks about that more than it seems like he does. Probably the acting side, not as a judgment or anything.
Adam Devine
That's right.
Theo Von
That's the stuff that he talked about, why he even got into things. That's the stuff that he likes the most. Like he's like, I won't really go back and watch things. I like to just be there in that moment when things are trying to are chaotic and how do we figure it out? And I was like, wow, that's kind of fascinating.
Adam Devine
He's a really smart guy. He went to film school first and like, so he came into the business wanting to be a writer and a director. And that's what I wanted to do too. And I remember telling my mom, I'm like, I think I want to go to film school. That way I can learn the other side and then put myself as the. The. The lead in projects, and then I could have all the creative control. And my mom, bless her heart, was just like, you're an actor.
Theo Von
Just go be an actor.
Adam Devine
He was, like, dunking on me a little bit, like, okay, dummy, just go be the actor.
Theo Von
Yeah. You've already been hit by the cement truck.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's not push our luck here. Okay.
Theo Von
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next. All you need is a lumber truck. And it's a rack, dude. Yeah, dude.
Adam Devine
A freaking steamroller.
Theo Von
Dang, dude. So Jim Stones is. But no. Yeah. Getting to see him. Well, it was funny because I went in the lobby and he. Or they were waiting in the front room, and they're like, danny's here, and we're trying to get ready a little bit, and just been a long week. And I go in there, and he's just pretending that he's sleeping in the chair. It's just so, like, kind of something a kid would do, you know, he's the best. It was just so, like, you know, I've walked in there and had. There's been a hundred guests in there. There. And never once has one just pretended that they're sleeping.
Adam Devine
Dude, he. He'll like. When you're on. He likes to keep things light and fun and. But he's also just like. He's like a little rascal, you know? And so you'll be shooting your side of a take, right? And it's over his shoulder, and he'll just go, like. As you're trying to act, and you're like, what the. Like, dude. And he's like, the guy that'll break the most.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah.
Adam Devine
And I think it's, like, to keep things light. And also, he just thinks, like, he's such a good, like, such a giver that. What? Like, he wants you to know that he thinks it's funny. So.
Theo Von
Yeah. Light. A little light that can do with it.
Adam Devine
That's sick. Oh, you need that.
Theo Von
Honestly, he had, like, a little wiener laser or whatever. It was like, you know, they have that light you can shine on somebody at like a. Somebody who's given a conference or whatever.
Adam Devine
Like a laser pointer.
Theo Von
Yeah. And you shine it on him, circle.
Adam Devine
His dick with him.
Theo Von
Social Security comes up and rescues him or whatever. So they get shot or whatever. Yeah, well, Secret Service.
Adam Devine
I don't think Social Security is, Rob.
Theo Von
Actually, Social Security. Apparently TR's taking it out of business or whatever.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
There.
Adam Devine
It's nowhere to be found. So. Yeah, dude, it's Just going to be your grandma being like, what? I need this to survive. Here's a light instead. Yeah.
Theo Von
Yeah, that's what Social Security is going to send you a gift each month.
Adam Devine
Yeah. You know, like, hey, we don't have money anymore. They took that. But here's a light.
Theo Von
Those days are over.
Adam Devine
But yeah, I mean, maybe for some people, worth it.
Theo Von
What about this Labian nightlight? We're gonna give you that. Yeah. Yeah. This was it. It projects five different. And I didn't know that. He didn't take me through all the. He showed me that.
Adam Devine
Well, have you. I mean, I feel like this is something that you need to spend some time with. Yeah, I feel like you got to dust that one off and.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah, a little bit. I brought it to Las Vegas with me this weekend and I was even using it during some of the fights I would. Low key. People didn't know it.
Adam Devine
Oh, that's fun.
Theo Von
But like, there were some of the fights you want and I'd flash a. On somebody. I.
Adam Devine
We.
Theo Von
I get crazy.
Adam Devine
I'm sure you get weird gifts like this all the time. I get weird all constantly. Like where. Where they. I. They want you to talk about on your podcast or they. You know what I'm saying? I just got this. It was like offensive. There was this dildo company or something like a sex toy company, and they sent me one that it's to fit over your dick so you have a bigger dick. It was called the little more. And you strap it onto your dick so your dick is bigger. And I'm like, why, why was I singled out as the. As the guy?
Theo Von
A little more.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I think. Is this it? Maybe, Maybe yes. You strap it on, you put it under your. Your nuts through a little hole.
Theo Von
Oh, you put your nuts into it as well?
Adam Devine
Yeah, underneath, so it can stay on.
Theo Von
Oh, I see. So you kind of put your nuts through a hole and then it stays on top.
Adam Devine
Stays on top.
Theo Von
So do you even need to use your.
Adam Devine
Not that I've tried it on. Not that I know everything about it.
Theo Von
Yeah. And Is it a 41 regular? What size?
Adam Devine
It's a 42 short. It's stocky like me. Just a short, stocky little. Yeah, that's exact. It was amazing. I like a little more.
Theo Von
More.
Adam Devine
Five and a half inches. That's so sad, dude. If that's your little more.
Theo Von
Hey, look. Hey.
Adam Devine
You know, I guess that person would really need it.
Theo Von
Like it's a smart car.
Adam Devine
Totally, totally.
Theo Von
That's.
Adam Devine
That's something that your wife or girlfriend Gives you. I like that. That one's sold out.
Theo Von
I know.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that one's sold out there. They ran out of those. They're like. That means you have to have like a 4 inch dick to then.
Theo Von
And you want to rock up to.
Adam Devine
Five, five and a half.
Theo Von
Yeah. For like your wedding or whatever.
Adam Devine
Yeah. For a big event.
Theo Von
I wonder if I would like, you know, I guess it's kind of nice because then your wiener could not even have to be erect. You can kind of be soft as long as you're able to fit the mold and just rock this thing.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's good. If you're like, you're, you know, you're a little jet lagged, you're a little tired.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah. I've been like for 20 years then.
Adam Devine
Yeah, so. And, and then, you know, you're, you're like, you don't really want to give it up. But then, you know, but still these women crawling all over, you know. Oh my God, it's. It's exhausting.
Theo Von
Oh, you got smash them just to keep them off the ceiling fan, you know, for real.
Adam Devine
I know. I know exactly what you mean. No, dude, I'm married. I have a one year old baby. My wife is like, please stop touching me for, for 18 more years. Do not touch me.
Theo Von
There we are. We're a beautiful family.
Adam Devine
We're a beautiful family.
Theo Von
Wow, dude, that must be nice. Have a beautiful family. It is. Is that a real picture?
Adam Devine
That's a real. Yeah, that's our living room. Yeah.
Theo Von
Y'all have a boat? Yeah. Dude, you're lying.
Adam Devine
Boats, dude.
Theo Von
Oh my God.
Adam Devine
That's what happens when you have stiff person syndrome. You're like, you know what? I'm basically a retiree now. Now I just stretch. I do like yoga in my backyard and then I take boats out.
Theo Von
They just tie you to the front like in that. What about Bob?
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah, I'm exactly like that.
Theo Von
Your character in Congratulations too, on your family.
Adam Devine
Thanks. Dude.
Theo Von
How soon after a wife has one child do they want to. Is there, isn't there a strategy there that starts to come in like, do we have another one immediately? Do we hold off?
Adam Devine
Yes.
Theo Von
You don't want to have an only child. I don't think.
Adam Devine
We don't. We want, we want a two banger. The one two punch. And I think we, we want to try to go fairly soon, you know, just to, to pound it out.
Theo Von
Yeah. Keep the feel.
Adam Devine
Once you're used to doing diapers, I'm like, let's keep this thing rolling. I know. How to do. Do whip. I know how to do this quick. Like, you don't want to get out of the diaper phase. And then suddenly you're like, oh, I gotta do this again.
Theo Von
You have to dust them off or whatever.
Adam Devine
Like, yeah, well, like, how do I even.
Theo Von
Yeah. What are we doing?
Adam Devine
What are we doing here, dude.
Theo Von
Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's true. Knock them all out. We just had Candace Owens on it. She has had four kids in a row. One, two, three, four. She's on her fourth child right now. That's a lot per year. So it's just like.
Adam Devine
Oh, that's a lot.
Theo Von
Yeah. At that point, you're kind of running a deep distillery, it seems like.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's too much. Well, I feel like it finally got to the point that, like, my wife is allowing me to touch her a little bit.
Theo Von
Right.
Adam Devine
Like, sometimes. So then I know if, like, we run it back and have another kid, then it's off the table for another year.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You know?
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
So that. That sucks.
Theo Von
But it kind of fits. So with your gemstones character. Your gemstones character is now fully a homosexual male. Right?
Adam Devine
That is right.
Theo Von
Right.
Adam Devine
That is right.
Theo Von
And what's that been like? What's that journey been like? Have. Like, how did you get. Did you.
Adam Devine
My wife doesn't love it. Okay. She's not super attracted to that guy. That guy. Yeah, it was. You know, it was. It kind of seemed like it was going that way. And it was really fun to play, like, a character that had, like, a secret, you know, little secret that I didn't want to divulge. So it was nice. This season, I'm out. I'm proud, and I. And I could just, like, be. Because I. I don't know about you, but I have, like, some gay family members. And when they finally came out, it was like they were. They had a new lease on life. They just seemed happier. They, like, a new personality emerged from their cocoon. They're. They're. They broke out of the hetero shell, and now they can just be gay.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And so it was super fun to play that.
Theo Von
Dang.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Yeah. And do you have to. Pratt. Did you have to, like, channel any specialty or special gay folks or do you call a gay that you. Or gay purse? Did you contact some other gay people? Did you take, like, a small. Like a weekend retreat or something? Is there any.
Adam Devine
No, I didn't. Yeah, there wasn't a lot of channeling. It was a. Yeah, it was mostly just acting.
Theo Von
Okay.
Adam Devine
I didn't go on any Gay retreats. Not that I'm opposed to it.
Theo Von
No. See, I'm just wondering, did you. And do you have to ask like, a. Is there like a. Because, like, sometimes with the. With some black stuff, if you want to use the N word, you have to get a pass.
Adam Devine
Yeah, you would. But we really need a lot of co. Signers on that.
Theo Von
Yeah, definitely.
Adam Devine
Yeah, a lot. There'd have to be like, a long list. It was like all these people said I could say it. Yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
But anyway, yeah. I was just wondering, do you have to get a gay pass from an acting guild or anything to play.
Adam Devine
No, I think I just did it. I hope. I hope I don't get in trouble.
Theo Von
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
Now that you're kind of airing it out, I'm a little bit like, did I do them dirty? But I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah, I, I have some gay friends and they were like, it's great. You're fantastic.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Because I think I walked the line of. Of being a little flamboyant in moments, but then not in other moments. As a gay man.
Theo Von
Yeah. As your character. Let's bring his character up too, here, just so we can get a gander at him as well.
Adam Devine
I also have been pulling some looks the last couple years. For sure. My fashions are on point.
Theo Von
Yeah. I think there was. It was not shocking, I don't think, to people that your character could have this going on.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Because there's also. There's always a surprise gay person in a lot of religious families.
Adam Devine
Absolutely.
Theo Von
And look at this.
Adam Devine
Look at that guy. Look at that. Sex pot.
Theo Von
I mean, that guy could be 7 or 41.
Adam Devine
That's exactly how old I am.
Theo Von
This guy's been fucking. This is unbelievable to that this even exists.
Adam Devine
Yeah, dude. I know. It was such a fun character to play. You know, where I. I channeled the. The character was a lot of wrist work. Like, I was. I just. Do you. Because when you're acting, for me, if I'm some. If I'm not playing like, Adam DeMamp from Workaholics was pretty similar to myself, just the more manic version of myself, you know, so I didn't have to do a lot. But other characters where I'm like, he's different than me. I have to find something where I can click in physically. I found, like, just doing different things with my hands. I would. To be able to channel him in ways that I, I. That isn't me.
Theo Von
Yeah, I can totally relate to that. Like, sometimes when you Go to costumes for a. A part and you'll try on different ones and then you'll put on like a certain outfit or something that they have you in. You're like, oh, this is kind of it. And you start to feel a little bit different. Or you'll like, kind of like, what.
Adam Devine
If you walk around yourself a little differently? You strut around a little differently.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
For me, it was on gemstones I got. I. They gave me these. Well, I actually requested them. You know, like, certain people will wear glasses even though they don't have anything wrong with their eyes.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
It's like. It's like a fashion thing. And so you put them on and just like. Well, those are sunglasses that you just look cool.
Theo Von
Oh, you're saying just any type of glasses.
Adam Devine
Just.
Theo Von
Just like a regular glasses, but okay, no sun window glasses.
Adam Devine
Regular window glass glasses. And they put them on. Yeah, just for like a fashion.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah, yeah, I've done that.
Adam Devine
Yeah. So that, to me, when I put that on, I like, became a different character.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
I was like. I had. I was like doing a little bit of a thing. Yeah. Like. Yeah. And that's how I morphed into Kelvin Jamstone.
Theo Von
Well, a lot of. There's a lot of gay activity in nature as well. You know, if they back to nature.
Adam Devine
Dude, by the stream, they're either killing each other or they're bring up that.
Theo Von
They just had two humpback whales, if you can find that, having sex. And they're both males. So this is. So I'm just saying gemstones inspired them. Is not the only people that are finding themselves. Yeah, right. Two male humpback whales are seen mating off the coast of Hawaii. Of course.
Adam Devine
Yeah, obviously.
Theo Von
Oh, dude, I'm in Hawaii off anything.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
When biologist Stephanie Stack first saw the photographs of two humpback whales mating in the warm waters Hawaii, she says her mind was completely blown. When I realized that it was two males, it was not what I was expecting. I thought, oh, my gosh, this is incredible. Says this is the first. She's a biologist at the Pacific Whale foundation in Maui, which sounds like a. Something that Doge is going to bust. Says this is the first time humpback whale sex has been documented. She co authored a paper about the rare sighting in the journal Marine Mammal Science.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Elon's gonna be like, so we've given $2 billion for gay whale porn, so.
Theo Von
And we only have one photo.
Adam Devine
One photo.
Theo Von
If they.
Adam Devine
If they had a lot of films that could make money on pornhub, then we'd keep it going, but we got one pick.
Theo Von
We.
Adam Devine
It's not worth it.
Theo Von
You can't even open up an only fan.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that sucks, dude. You know there's only fans. I just saw this morning one of the girls on Harry Potter started an only fans. Yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't know her. I don't know.
Theo Von
Daughter's got less hair on it. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Allegedly. And these are rumors.
Adam Devine
I don't remember the girl's name. It wasn't Hermione. It wasn't the number one stunner. Jesse Cave.
Theo Von
Jesse K. Hermione.
Adam Devine
Jesse Cave.
Theo Von
Harry Potter star Jesse Cave says she's now an only fans now and her reason why is pretty understandable.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's understandable. I think she said she wanted a new roof or something. Like she was gonna do some home remods. Oh, yeah. Which, by the way, I've done some home remods. It's expensive, dude.
Theo Von
Oh, it's 50 racks for a roof. It's probably 30. 30 racks for a roof, Maybe. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Oh, dude. No, I just. I just did it. It's 80.
Theo Von
80. Nuh. 80 for my roof? Yeah. How strong is it?
Adam Devine
It's a really. I guess a really strong one.
Theo Von
Oh, there's.
Adam Devine
What do they call those clay shells?
Theo Von
Three Little Pigs. Roofers. We used to have that group.
Adam Devine
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, we didn't get that. I wonder if I could start an only fans. Just showing off my calves.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah.
Adam Devine
You know, I only got four toes.

Theo Von
That was tough. Yeah.
Adam Devine
That's a sick car to get hit.
Theo Von

Adam Devine
That's my foot. God.
Theo Von

Adam Devine
Yeah, I think it was just the lighting. My. It's. It's pretty normal looking. I mean, normal for my legs.
Theo Von
It looks fast.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it looks like those toes can grab something. Like I can reach out. Like you throw me a ball and.
Theo Von
I go, yeah, just.
Adam Devine
Just snag it out of the air. But they. They can't catch things. They're just regular toes. It fell. It fell out. It fell off. I've told this on my podcast, but it fell off in the bathtub when I was masturbating for one of the first times in my life.
Theo Von
You're lying.
Adam Devine
Seventh grade, I was masturbating. I just learned that my penis did tricks and I was playing with it and it fell off in the bathtub, dude.
Theo Von
Baby girl, why.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
Theo Von
And what I don't understand. How did it. Were you taking blood flow from that area in your wing? Like, what was happening?
Adam Devine
It was. It was hanging on by a thread. And they said that it was either going to grow, like, attach and. And it was gonna be fine or more than likely was so shard charred. It was just.
Theo Von
Lifeboat.
Adam Devine
It was just gonna flop off. And. And it was. I mean, this is gross. But it was maybe one of the first times I ejaculated, and I'm in this bathtub and I'm like, oh, this is gross. There's stuff in here. Now I'm in this bathtub and then I see the toe go. The little toe just floating in the glunk.
Theo Von
No.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And did they meet up?
Adam Devine
They were. Yeah, they're swimming together. Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was pretty nasty. Kind of a nasty.
Theo Von
You would think that it would be able to help it. Yeah.
Adam Devine
You. All of a sudden, it just like. All of a sudden it grows a toenail, and then it turns beautiful pink and I just reattach it. Click. I screamed out. And then my mom came in and it was like, huh?
Theo Von
What?
Adam Devine
And I'm like, my toe. And then she's trying to fish the toe out, and I'm like, get out of here.
Theo Von
Get out.
Adam Devine
It was. It was wild, dude. Yeah.
Theo Von
Did you tell your. Well, now your mom knows. What happened? Have you masturbated since then or no?
Adam Devine
Yeah, a few times. A couple times. Yeah, yeah, I do, I do. I'm not afraid to admit. Yeah, yeah. I like.
Theo Von
It's normal.
Adam Devine
I like it.
Theo Von
I don't like it that. I used to like it and now I'm like, what are we doing?
Adam Devine
Yeah, I understand that and I get that, and that's how a normal man should be. But I'm like, when I'm away, like I, you know, wife and kid at home. Now if I'm on the road doing something, I'm like, like, daddy's alone.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You know, some sweet treats.
Theo Von
Time for some hand magic.
Adam Devine
They stopped giving lotion in hotels, a lot of hotels. They don't have the lotion nearby.
Theo Von
Really? They used to have a small free thing of lotion.
Adam Devine
They used to always have the lotion. Now the last few hotels, I've been in, nice hotels, they don't have the lotion. I think too many people were jerking off. They were like trying to cut the jerk off. Numbers. They're trying to knock those down.
Theo Von
Wonder if there's a shortage or something. Something.
Adam Devine
Yeah, maybe it's probably Doge.
Theo Von
Yeah, like, what do we do?
Adam Devine
We're spending all this money on lotion. Like, no more. We spend $4 billion on lotion. How do we subsidize lotion? Dude.
Theo Von

All the headlines are right there and you can see all the headlines from the different news sites all on the same page. I don't think we've had something like this where you can really, you can shop for your news and look at basically the nutrition facts of it and see, well, which, which site is giving me the real thing, which site has the most bias in it. You can compare the same headlines, the same articles from one site to the next, all in one spot. Expand your view of the news.

Dude, some of the things Doge busted were insane though.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it is. It is funny.
Theo Von
You know, one of them was like $2 million to eliminate some of the Alphabet from like Mozambique or whatever. It was like what?
Adam Devine
Isn't Doge a meme coin?
Theo Von
I thought it was.
Adam Devine
So it's funny that it's also like we're. We're going with this for the name. Like whoever owns the Dogecoin is probably kind of stok that they got. They're getting all this free pub.
Theo Von
Free publicity for sure.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Because they just started advertising it.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Dude, you know what? I will say this because they need different types of. Because your gemstone character, his job is. He's a youth pastor.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Well now I think he's just. He runs like a sect of the church called Prism. So it's very inclusive. So like if you're gay or non binary or whatever, something someone who's been othered by society, you now can join Prism. And God's light will shine through me and I shoot the rainbow onto you. Oh baby, I love that.
Theo Von
We need that. We need like when I was younger there's only like a couple types of gay guys kind of there was like. Or it just seemed like there was. Now we need more like you know, you need more there's all different types.
Adam Devine
Yeah, there's all different types. Now I understand what you're saying. Like, when you're a kid, what you see on, like movies and. And stuff, there's only like.
Theo Von
Like a secret gay guy.
Adam Devine
Yeah. There's a secret, like, don't tell. And then like a gay guy who's so straight telltale that you're like, he's not gay. And then the. The most flamboyant man alive. Yeah.
Theo Von
And then a woodpecker.
Adam Devine
And then a woodpecker.
Theo Von
Yeah. Or yeah. A guy would just come to.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
I was like, just waking people up.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Will not shut up about how gay they are. Yeah.
Theo Von
Just talking about Jessica Simpson all the time.
Adam Devine
They. I mean, if you were to pick, that would. Maybe the last pop star that I was going to think you're going to pull out of the crate.
Theo Von
But. But, yeah, but I mean, now there's like gay construction workers. There's gay, like people that are archers. Yeah.
Adam Devine
I think there always kind of was.
Theo Von
But now you know.
Adam Devine
Now you know. Yeah. Now it's.
Theo Von
And now you can even in church have a gay section of church. Right. Right.
Adam Devine
You. Apparently, according to the righteous gemstones. I don't know if. If other churches are doing this, I think they should.
Theo Von
They should allow. If there's just, you know, or maybe they don't have to make it exclusive or include. Just make it.
Adam Devine
But I don't even think you need a section.
Theo Von
Right. That's it.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
But now there's more like. Yeah, there's just more gay people everywhere now. And more common. I like to see even more like, I would love to see gay train conductor.
Adam Devine
Or that's what my dad was.
Theo Von
Really. Yeah.
Adam Devine
He's a train conductor character. Huh? Yeah. I think. You know what I'm sick of is you watch a movie, it's like, what.
Theo Von
If he hit my friend, dude?
Adam Devine
I. I mean, now that you say it, it rings a bell for me. He. He didn't hit your friend. But he did. They. He has murdered people.
Theo Von
Really?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
With a train.
Adam Devine
With a train. Unreal train. Yeah. He would say that. You go. You go. He was like, it's so gross, obviously. And my dad's so funny. He's like, yeah. Tell you what, I'm like a little kid. He's told me this story.
Theo Von
He's like, hit a hobo. Yeah.
Adam Devine
And I'm like, oh, what? And he's like, yeah. And I'm. And I'm like, oh, is he alive? I'm a little kid, so. I'm like, is he alive? And he's like, no. Looked underneath the train. I'm like, geez, looks like ground beef. I was like, we, we could make.
Theo Von
Grill up some burgers with this bum.
Adam Devine
And I'm like, geez, chill dude. This is a human being who wants.
Theo Von
A bum on a bun.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah. So he. Yeah, so he's murdered.
Theo Von
Bum fights. How about bum with fries? Huh? Like that?
Adam Devine
Dude, I can't believe that. Happy Meal. A very unhappy meal.
Theo Von
Yeah. Where was he and what district was he hitting people in or what section of the country did even.
Adam Devine
I think this was Iowa, Nebraska zones. Yeah. So that's a good area to. If you if know. I feel like bums be passing out on train tracks there that if you were to think of like a classic, bums be sleeping on train tracks. That would is. You think of that area that's around. Yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
Why do people. It amazes me that people get hit on train track. It's like that's the only place you can be five feet away from there.
Adam Devine
Just don't fall asleep there. Like why there?
Theo Von
I don't know. I wonder if it's warm. Maybe the tracks are. They conduct some warmth because the trains go up and down them.
Adam Devine
Maybe I was just also maybe 15ft away.
Theo Von
Right, right.
Adam Devine
And maybe. Or. And cover yourself up. You know, there's usually rocks along the side. Just cover yourself up with the rocks.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Off to the side.
Theo Von
Right.
Adam Devine
Stay warm. That seems.
Theo Von
I agree.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Look at this warm down of these rocks, huh?
Adam Devine
Yeah. Dude, I think. Do you think you would be a good homeless person?
Theo Von
Let me think for a second. I think you get the hang of it quick. I think I would commandeer an area of a park. That's what I would do. I would find a park. Park. Stay in it for a couple days and see like an area where nobody really goes.
Adam Devine
Let's see, that's the, that's the hard part because in la, there's people everywhere. You gotta, you gotta go, you know. And maybe some of these fires were. I mean, I don't know. I'm not pointing blame, but like it would make sense. I know if I was a homeless guy, I'd be up in them hills, man. I'd be up in them hills. I'd be covered in like coyote skins.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Because I've, I've, I've gone on some hunts. Yeah, right. And you're just. And then you have a little bonfire and you're just roasting coyotes and stuff. If you could. For food.
Theo Von
Yes. They Call them roasting. Yes. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Some yis. And then. And then you maybe have your own little, like, barbecue stand, but only for other homeless people. And they're like, oh, I gotta roll up in them hills. Get some yolts. Get a yol burger.
Theo Von
Ron slinging. Yeah. Ron's got a fresh batch of yode on the grill.
Adam Devine
Yeah. So that's kind of what I think I would. I'd be doing.
Theo Von
So you'd be high end homeless then? Because you're.
Adam Devine
Well, I think if you're gonna be homeless, you want to be homeless. High end.
Theo Von
But they're going to call the police immediately. Poor people would just be like, oh, there's a. You know, that's going to be me in a week. Or rich people like, get this guy.
Adam Devine
Yeah, get this guy out of here.
Theo Von
But you have to be so up.
Adam Devine
In the hills, they don't even know you're there. Oh, and. And you're. And you're, you know, you're killing y. So you're like doing a service. Like, rich people don't want yots around because they kill the dog. They kill, like little dogs and stuff.
Theo Von
You could tell them straight up, hey, I'm going to be back behind your house. I'll live back there. Every now and then then if you have some used burberry or whatever, throw it back there.
Adam Devine
I think that's how you had to do it because you don't want anyone. No one wants just someone living right behind their house and they don't know the guy. Like, you want to be like, hey, what's up? Hey, what's up? I'm theo. I'm gonna be living directly behind your house. I'm gonna be on the lookout for yoats.
Theo Von
Yep. I'll be calm, I'll be quiet. I'll fend off woodpeckers.
Adam Devine
You'll sleep if you got like a dirty blanket or something that you don't want anymore. Throw toss my way. But I'm not asking for anything. I'm just out here.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
I'm protecting your home.
Theo Von
Yeah. Honestly, if you hear somebody singing jewel once in a while, that's me.
Adam Devine
Yes. Just singing these foolish games. Yeah. And also, that's a beautiful song. So they might. They might.
Theo Von
Yeah. I think there is a way to live symbiotically with homeless people. I think the problem is in some districts, homeless people start to battle against each other. Homeless territory. Can you bring up some of that?
Adam Devine
You don't like that?
Theo Von
Territorial fights?
Adam Devine
Oh, yeah. There's straight wars, dude.
Theo Von
Well, there's A lot of that. And there was a group of homeless people that attacked a Renaissance fair one weekend. Really?
Adam Devine
I guess you couldn't tell who's who. Like, you don't know who. Who's fighting who. You're like, either he's Renaissance guy or he's homeless. He's. I know he's covered. Covered in fur and eating a turkey leg. But that's either a turkey leg or a yol leg. I'm not sure which one it is.
Theo Von
The Y are thick, homie. That's all I'm saying.
Adam Devine
You got some thick Y in them hills.
Theo Von
Let's go to this quara right there. It says. The top one. It says, do homeless people ever get territorial? Yeah, dude. Most hobos have a campsite. Tread softly. They know the area extremely well.
Adam Devine
And I've seen a couple of really interesting alert systems.
Theo Von
Alert system. I've heard of some big trapped, but never encountered that myself. Okay.
Adam Devine
And I like that on this forum, we're. We're bringing back the word hobo, because I don't think hobo is a derogatory term. In fact, if I was homeless, you know how now you have to say there's, like, a new term for homeless. It's called, like, unhoused. Unhoused, I think.
Theo Von
Right.
Adam Devine
I think hobo's better. Hobo is like a fun. Like, you think you have a stick and a knapsack, you're riding the rails. Yeah, it's like a more fun term. I personally.
Theo Von
Who's got a tangerine for Danny?
Adam Devine
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Theo Von
Yeah. That's the kind of. Yeah. Oh, God. Being a hobo, my buddy rode on trains. He jumped train cars for a little while.
Adam Devine
I think that'd be fun to do.
Theo Von
He said. One of the problems is, though, this is one of the big mistakes that hobos make, because our hobos, technically people that ride the trains. Is that who it is?
Adam Devine
That rings a bell?
Theo Von
Bring up hobos. How do they travel?
Adam Devine
My dad said that part of his job was to go up, walk up and down the trains and kick them out. And my dad was like, I'd let him sleep. Oh, it's a good man.
Theo Von
It's just crazy. Your dad. What's up, Dennis? That your dad hit people with trains and then you got hit by something.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
A hobo is a migrant worker in the United States. Hobos, tramps, and bums are generally regarded as related but distinct. A hobo travels and is willing to work. A tramp trap travels but avoids work if possible. A bum neither travels nor works yeah.
Adam Devine
So. But, yeah, bums, that kind of you. I mean, you don't want to be called the bum. If they call you a bum, you're, like, offended.
Theo Von
I don't travel.
Adam Devine
I don't work. I don't do anything. A hobo's like, hey, I'm getting out there. I'm mixing it up. I'm willing to work. Yeah, I'm willing to work. Willing. I'll travel.
Theo Von
Yeah, we'll travel. But the hope. I think one of the things is a lot of them die in the train cars because they close the door and they don't realize that they can't unlock it from the inside.
Adam Devine
And it gets super hot or super cold.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And also my dad says sometimes they're grain cars. And you can climb up and then the grain is, like, open, and you can climb in, and then you sink into the grain.
Theo Von
No.
Adam Devine
Yeah. So that they'll die that way, too.
Theo Von
Took your coat off, stood in the grain.
Adam Devine
I don't know that song. Was that something you just made up?
Theo Von
This is a little more Jewel.
Adam Devine
Oh, dude, I wish I knew more Jewel. I wish I had a. A deeper knowledge of Jewel. You know, my house was just broken into the other day, dude.
Theo Von
What?
Adam Devine
Yeah, my house was the house we.
Theo Von
Just saw the photo in with the baby and the. In the boat.
Adam Devine
Different house. Different house. I have a house in Hollywood, and, yeah, they broke into my house. In and out in under eight minutes. Minutes. Pros.
Theo Von
That's a long eight minutes.
Adam Devine
Eight minutes.
Theo Von
Bang. Adam Divine. Cops take a scary spill.
Adam Devine
This is the second part of this story.
Theo Von
Okay, so the.
Adam Devine
So then I get. They robbed my house, and then I. They totally destroyed my security system, by the way. Security system didn't do. They dismantled it like that. These guys are pros. They just came in, they cut some wires, it was done, and then they were gone. So I'm like, gotta redo my security system. So I pay for them to come and set up the whole thing again. And. And then the cops come because the. They didn't do it right. The alarm goes off. I'm out of town. So that the cops come, they're checking the property. This poor cop falls 15 or so feet, like, trying to check out my property. Breaks his arm. No gun goes flying, baton goes in a bush.
Theo Von
Dude, did they catch.
Adam Devine
It's a gnarly fall. No. So when the alarm goes off, there was no one there. I get a call, and the cops like, hey, do you mind if we walk through your doors unlocked? I'm like, oh, did I Get robbed again for the second time in two weeks. And he's like, can I walk through your property? So I'm like, sure. He walks through. I don't get a call. And then my neighbor calls me and he's like, hey, is everything okay? Day he sends me a video of this. I'll show you later. Of this cop. Absolutely eating. Oh, I felt so bad for him. Also, like, you don't want the cops to hate you.
Theo Von
I'm like, and did he fall off of something? Off of a ledge or something? Yeah.
Adam Devine
So how they broke into my house was what? Also where they were checking. You can climb up the side of this hill to get in my bedroom. And they like smashed a window to get in. But. But the cops, that when they put the window back in, my contractor didn't lock my door. Like a bonehead. Right? So hobo, like a true hobo move. Dude, that's more of a tramp move.
Theo Von
Yeah, that is a tramp.
Adam Devine
That's a tramp move.
Theo Von
Bomb move. Almost.
Adam Devine
Almost. I won't say that, cuz that's too offensive to my contractor, but that was a tramp guy.
Theo Von
Why'd you do it?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So the cop went. What?
Adam Devine
One cop went in the house. House. Didn't find anyone lurking. And then the other cop, I guess he was being a nice dude. He was like, I got some mud on my shoes. I don't want to tramp through this guy's home. So he tries to climb back down, Split, splat. Falls 15ft. He gets up, his arms kind of dangling like this. And the other cop is down there. He's like, are you okay? He doesn't say, you know when you're in a lot of pain.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You don't say a word. Like a lot of.
Theo Von
Like you make a sound that doesn't have any sound.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's like.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And so he didn't say anything. And I was like, oh, this guy's. He's not feeling right. Yeah. Felt bad for the poor guys.
Theo Von
And did the burglars steal a lot of things that were important or.
Adam Devine
No, no, they. I mean, it was just like TVs and not even. They were like. They were like in and out in eight minutes. They stole like my wife's purses and stuff. Which, by the way, I didn't know how much purses were. I was a little offended that they. This woman has this many purses. I was like, oh, there's just a few purses. And then she told me how much purses cost. I'm like, you got to stop buying purses, lady. Damn.
Theo Von
You're not going to have anything to put in the purses.
Adam Devine
Yeah, exactly. I'm like, the point of a purse is to hold the things that are important, but evidently the important thing is the outside. I didn't know that.
Theo Von
That's kind of crazy. It's kind of a anomaly for what life is like, or whatever. I don't know if anomaly is the right word, but that's unbelievable, dude.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
Theo Von
So it sucked.
Adam Devine
His second time that house has been robbed. I'm a little bummed.
Theo Von
So I wonder if that's just happening more now. Do you hear your neighbors and stuff talking about it or no?
Adam Devine
So Blake, in his neighborhood has been a lot of thieves in the midst as well. They're saying it's like gangs. Like gangs are coming in and they. They, like, know their.
Theo Von
Because this.
Adam Devine
These guys took my Internet down. They, like, had an Internet blocker. So they pulled up, disconnected the Internet it.
Theo Von
So that way the alarms won't go off or anything. Yeah.
Adam Devine
And so they. Well, the alarm would go off, but the, like, ring cameras went down. So, like, I didn't even know. I didn't even know it was robbed until my gardener was like, cleaning and was gardening and he was like, Mr. Adam, I don't think there should be a hole in your window. But it was right after those big winds we had the El Ninos, the Santa Anas.
Theo Von
You've been through a lot.
Adam Devine
And I was like, dude, a rock fly through the window.
Theo Von
Yeah. What could have happened?
Adam Devine
Yeah, I was. I was like, yeah, what? What? Flew through? Did a mango, did an orange fly through this window? Was it a run by Fruit Tein? You know, but it wasn't. It was a. A criminal organization. Yeah. Dude.
Theo Von
I wonder if they're tracking people, knowing when people are out of town, if they're like. Especially if they're actors and stuff, if they're working at certain times or just. Yeah, maybe that's a brave move just to climb up somebody's balcony. Balcony and see what was going on.
Adam Devine
Dude, it was at 8:21pm Like a time when people are out walking dogs and stuff.
Theo Von
So, yeah, they would have been home.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it would have been home. Yeah.
Theo Von
Just Cheeto Vera just had somebody pull up on him. You see that video? He's a UFC fighter and he was working in his truck. This is pretty crazy. Professional UFC fighter Cheeto Vera was working in his truck as a man with what appears to be a knife tried approaching him.
Adam Devine
Oh, dude. I mean, first of all. You see this guy working on his truck?
Theo Von
Truck.
Adam Devine
He's got neck tattoos.
Theo Von
Yeah. This dude pulls up, pulls a knife out right here. Oh, look at that knife.
Adam Devine
Crazy. Oh, he's so lucky he didn't get shot in the back. Like, just like murders. Murder town, usa.
Theo Von
It shows you two UFC guys that they're ready. They think defense first.
Adam Devine
Dude, he has a. A shotgun just laying on his front. Like, that was so easily grabbable.
Theo Von
Yeah, well, that's.
Adam Devine
That's. Oh, I mean, you're ready.
Theo Von
You're ready. Those UFC guys are ready. Dude, if you even whisper to them wrong, you hit the wrong octave during a secret, and those guys will.
Adam Devine
Ready. They just. All of a sudden, they just got, like, throwing stars.
Theo Von
Just like, think, oh, they will remodel the way you breathe. Dude. You have to really. You got to be careful around those guys. They're severe.
Adam Devine
I feel like I couldn't. I mean, I. I own a gun. It's so tucked away way. I would never.
Theo Von
You got to put both legs down. Put like this. If you don't know if it's really a strong kickback, have your wife lean against your back like this with her arm up.
Adam Devine
Yeah. So it's a lot. It's a lot to do.
Theo Von
Right? But you guys are prepared as a team, then.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And you gotta pop off. I think if somebody, you know, I don't know. It's like, if somebody came in your room, what would you do? Say you wake up, right? You think there's somebody in your room. Adam.
Adam Devine
Yeah. I would like to think I'm ready. Ready to go say something first.
Theo Von
Good evening. What do you do?
Adam Devine
Well, I was home. My alarm kept fucking up because they. When they redid it, they. They fucked up. So it would just go off, which is terrifying. And I'm up there staying by myself, and it was like 1am I'm, like, trying to go to sleep, and all of a sudden, the alarm goes off.
Theo Von
After the burglary in your house, after.
Adam Devine
The burglar burglary, and I go, hello.
Theo Von
Yeah, I like lower.
Adam Devine
I like.
Theo Von
I like lower.
Adam Devine
I lower my voice. I'm like. Sound not like me. I sound a little. I. I mean, it's so.
Theo Von
I'm like, hello, I've got a gun.
Adam Devine
I'm like, I don't have a gun.
Theo Von
I sound like Peter Griffin, dude.
Adam Devine
I've got a. I've got a gun. Yeah, I sound like a. Like a guy who didn't make it on the Sopranos. Like he auditioned but did not get cast.
Theo Von
I've got a gun.
Adam Devine
I've got a gun. Oh, I'm doing a bad dice.
Theo Von
Hey, watch out.
Adam Devine
Oh, I got a gun. I'll shoot you.
Theo Von
The. The bird. You. You start playing that video from. From Home Alone. Oh, yeah, yeah. The burgers.
Adam Devine
Dirty animals.
Theo Von
Keep the change. You're. They're laughing so hard in the other room. The burglars.
Adam Devine
Yeah, they're still stealing all my. Just like, this guy's good.
Theo Von
We gotta steal from here more often. Will you keep. Will you keep a home? God, you've had a life riddled with things, man. Yeah, I didn't realize that.
Adam Devine
I'm riddled.
Theo Von
You've had a lot of riddling going on. Will you keep up? Will you keep a home in Charleston? Are you glad to be gone from Charleston? Charleston? I'm.
Adam Devine
I'm gonna miss Charleston. I wish I would have bought a place there just so I had more of a reason to go back all the time, but. And also not a lot of crime there, so I probably would have been safe.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Have you been. Have you spent any time in Charleston?
Theo Von
I lived in Charleston for a while.
Adam Devine
Oh, you did?
Theo Von
Yeah, I hitchhiked up there to chase a girl that I was in love with that I almost had. Almost. Didn't have to get a cease and restraining or whatever, but it got close to, you know, just loitering late at night.
Adam Devine
Okay. That's okay. There's a little rear window situation.
Theo Von
Yeah. We've all been through some things, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was college.
Adam Devine
You were practicing for an upcoming role of a stalker.
Theo Von
What?
Adam Devine
I was just. This is. I'm an actor. I'm researching a role.
Theo Von
Like, we haven't been. We haven't seen you in any roles.
Adam Devine
Yes, I know. I'm only 17 and I. I'm not. I've never acted anything, nor do I have a career.
Theo Von
How do you expect me to get a role?
Adam Devine
Yeah, I've got a practice.
Theo Von
But that was. Yeah, I love it there. I mean, it's amazing. Yeah. Danny McBride said that you and Tony would go and work out a lot over there. Was that a real thing?
Adam Devine
Yeah, we were. Well, he's like a true athlete. He's got like a real jawline. Mine. Mine. Like, ebbs and flows.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Look, he's all jacked. Look at that guy. He's real jacked and Judy juicy. I'm. I'm less jacked and less juicy, but I do. What's weird is we work out to get. We would work out together all the time, and his body morphed into that, and I. I look like. How I look like, you know, like a regular guy.
Theo Von
Yeah, like a guy. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Like, it's just a guy you see, and you're like, I bet he eats cheeseburgers.
Theo Von
Yeah, that guy's okay.
Adam Devine
Yeah. With me.
Theo Von
With me, I think people are like, yeah, I hope that guy's, you know, like, yeah.
Adam Devine
You think I look like I'm not okay?
Theo Von
No, I think you seem like.
Adam Devine
Like, oh, I hope that guy's okay.
Theo Von
I'm trying to think of a job that I would see, say, if I saw you. Oh, mailman. Son of. Son of mailman. Proud, proud son of a mailman who's trying to make his father proud. Mailboy. I like that.
Adam Devine
And I'm not offended. Yeah, I'm not offended by that. Okay. Yeah, I think that's. That's a. A fair assessment of what I look like. Yeah, I think I look like we. Where you're like, ah, maybe that guy works out. My neighbor hilariously saw me. She's like, hey, she's the dog daughter of the people that live next door to me. And she's was like, 22, and she saw me working out of my garage. Sometimes I work out in my garage and I have my shirt off, and she. She stopped and she goes, oh, hey. And I'm like, hey, how's it going? And she goes, wow, I didn't know you worked out. Offended, dude. That's an offensive thing to say to someone.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So.
Adam Devine
But I do.
Theo Von
Yeah. That's like, if you show somebody your wiener, like a chick, you're weird. Like, I didn't know you'd have a wiener.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah.
Theo Von
Like, whoa, That's a. Yeah. Okay.
Adam Devine
I think it's fairly obvious I would have one of those. Yeah.
Theo Von
Then I need to get some different clothes, I think.
Adam Devine
Or spruce up.
Theo Von
Grow.
Adam Devine
Grow the facial hair out a little.
Theo Von
Spruce down. Dude, can you believe that mail is still a thing? Getting mail. Can you believe that? Right now, as we talk, sometime today, a man. A grown man or grown woman.
Adam Devine
That looks. Looks like me just trying to make my father proud.
Theo Von
Yeah, that looks like you.
Adam Devine
I like, that's what. I'm making my father proud. He's like, he's gonna see me delivering this mail, and he's gonna. He's gonna look at me and be like, look at this bright shooting star. He's gonna see me as Danny McBride at that party, walking through the cloud of smoke. You're a bright shooting star. As I. As I'm sliding some mail through a.
Theo Von
Slot yeah, but can you believe somebody's gonna do that today? Instead of just emailing us and telling us what they needed, tell us someone is going to drive over to our house.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Walk up there, risk getting attacked by a dog. Cuz that's their. That's all they do all day, is battle dogs.
Adam Devine
Dogs hate mailman.
Theo Von
Battle Dogs battle senior citizens and gangs that are like, mail.
Adam Devine
Yeah. They're like, give me that mail. By the way, there's never anything good in mail. It's either like a ticket. It's like, oh, I gotta pay this thing. Like they finally tracked me down.
Theo Von
Or a coupon.
Adam Devine
Or just a. Or just a coupon for a place you never want to go to.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
They're like, hey, you want a car detail? Drive two and a half hours to this place and I'll give you 15 off. You're like, oh, I don't know, is that worth it? I feel like the gas is gonna offset the discounts, but.
Theo Von
And there's even a lot of the things now it's like, are you interested in foster care? It's just like that. It used to just be like discounts on avocados and stuff, but now it's like the mail has gotten really, really crazy, man. It's gotten pretty rogue, I feel like.
Adam Devine
Yeah, for me, it's all just like, hey, do you want to buy your neighbor's house?
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Because it's all just like people going like, here, here's a house in your neighborhood that you can buy. And I'm like, I already live in my neighborhood, not trying to move three houses down. Do you live in this neighborhood? Dude, quit telling me about a house that's nearby, you know?
Theo Von
That's so true. It's like if I'm living in a house house, you would think you wouldn't come advertised to me to buy a.
Adam Devine
House next, like next door. Or like maybe go like, hey, do you want to live somewhere cooler than like, if you're. It's kind of a whatever neighborhood.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And you're like, you want to live in like a slightly better neighborhood.
Theo Von
I'll think about it.
Adam Devine
Yeah, but it's like literally my neighborhood.
Theo Von
You've done some fun things, man. You got to do some wrestling recently. Is that right?
Adam Devine
Oh, do you see that?
Theo Von
Yeah, bring it up.
Adam Devine
Yeah, dude, I did some choke slam.
Theo Von
Hey, great job. I know. I saw that right there.
Adam Devine
Hey, you know, practice.
Theo Von
Jim Stone's star, Adam Divine, hits up aew. Wow, look at this.
Adam Devine
Is this a stiff person? I don't think so, Jack. Is that a stiff person? Those jeans are hanging on. Yeah, those jeans are hanging on by a thread right there.
Theo Von
Oh, butt cheeks.
Adam Devine
Flexing with all my might. Flexing with all my might.
Theo Von
You'd have been a good wrestler, man.
Adam Devine
Thank you for saying that, dude. Or a mailman.
Theo Von
Look at this dude. Now, you guys all kind of look like Tony right there. I feel like you're all giving a lot of Tony Cavallaro in energy right there. Yeah, I gotta get Tony in here soon.
Adam Devine
Yeah, get him in here. He's a good. He's a good guy.
Theo Von
He's one of a kind, man. Yeah, he checks in on me all. Like, not all, but every couple of months, he'll check in and just say, hey, what a sweetheart, you know?
Adam Devine
He's just a sweet man. Do you know him?
Theo Von
I know him pretty decent. Yeah. Yeah, I do know him. I really. Yeah, he's an exceptional guy. He just. He has a way of always staying positive. It seems like he's one of those guys that.
Adam Devine
That you. That it's. It's nice to. I collect those guys, like, as my friends. I like to have some people that just hype you up, you know, because Adam Ray is like that as well. And I. Adam used to open up for me on the road all the time, and it was nice when you're on the road to have so. And, you know, you're kind of like, oh, man, we got to travel again today. Yada, yada. To just have someone be like, how great is this, right? How sick is this theater?
Theo Von
Like, yes. Like, you need somebody to be. Be the positive, overwhelmed.
Adam Devine
Hype you up. And you're like, yeah, it is sick. Look at.
Theo Von
Look at us go.
Adam Devine
Get in here, buddy.
Theo Von
Yeah, I got. Guy like Amir K. Comes with me.
Adam Devine
Oh, yeah, dude. Amir's a positive guy.
Theo Von
Lee Kimbrell, he comes through the Kentucky nightmare, I think is his nickname or something. Kentucky wolf cat or something. But he comes through, and they're both have good energy, just positive. They're like, let's go do something. Someone's. And I do, too. But it's like, yeah, I just get, like, you just feel like both.
Adam Devine
We're pretty positive guys.
Theo Von
You just got to get ready for the show, though. It's like, you know, it's like I spent a lot of my time taking care of myself.
Adam Devine
Like, you're saying, stretching.
Theo Von
Stretching. I'll get into town. It's like, yeah, stretching. Get in an ice bath, trying to work out, getting with the.
Adam Devine
You with a cold plunge. All of it, dude. Me too.
Theo Von
I was in it last night.
Adam Devine
I like a cold plunge.
Theo Von
It's so nice.
Adam Devine
But you keep your cold plunge at me.
Theo Von
I keep it right about 54. I'll do 10 minutes in there. 10 minutes.
Adam Devine
I keep it at 4:40, and I'll do three to five.
Theo Von
Oh, 40 is. Baby, baby, that's cold.
Adam Devine
That's ice, ice cold.
Theo Von
And I. I really can't stay.
Adam Devine
It's cold outside that. Isn't that song just like, about like. Like rape or something?
Theo Von
They said it was allegedly about date. Like, it's like wrecking a girl in a stank. Oh, that's you.
Adam Devine
Yeah, there I am.
Theo Von
That's at your house.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's at my house. Yeah, dude, look.
Theo Von
It's a nice one, huh?
Adam Devine
Yeah. Renew.
Theo Von
They're.
Adam Devine
They're. They're great, dude.
Theo Von
They are.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Renew Cold plunges. They're pretty fantastic.
Theo Von
I got a blue cube one that I keep in my garage that they. A friend of mine made. But they're both.
Adam Devine
Yeah, they're. They're great. And cold plunging. It's the kind of thing, though, that I wish now that I have it, I do it less. I feel like I used to seek it out.
Theo Von
Oh, really? Yeah.
Adam Devine
Now that it's there, I'm like, I could get in it right now or I'll get in it later. It'll be later.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You know what I should do? I should just crank the heat up on it because it's so cold. It's like you get it like your.
Theo Von
Joints, like, make it a hot bath in there.
Adam Devine
You think I just make it 52 or whatever? Oh, yeah.
Theo Von
I like doing that for 10 minutes. That for me, sets me in a good range, you know?
Adam Devine
Isn't it weird that now we're, like, all about health and fitness, but it catches 10 years ago and we were just like little scum buckets. Oh, just out there. I know myself. I was just like, gargling with vodka. Just like. Oh, dude. Just going for it every night.
Theo Von
Were you drinking a lot?
Adam Devine
I drink, Yeah. I would drink a lot.
Theo Von
Wow. Where were you drinking at?
Adam Devine
Well, just like at the comedy club or whatever. Like back when I was. I mean, maybe not 10. Yeah, maybe 10 years ago, but, like, that's when workaholics was sort of peing, so probably right.
Theo Von
You've been working for a long time.
Adam Devine
Yeah, like anything. Yeah, but anything. Like back when I was in the comedy clubs all the time or like when you're on the road all the time, that's an easy place. Just because you're in a new place. You're like, well, let's go to the bar after the show or what?
Theo Von
Oh, yeah, that's for sure. Tour.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Did you guys drink at aew? Who'd you guys fight in aew? Did you fight? Because I saw Big justice out there.
Adam Devine
Oh, yeah. I was. I was looking at the Rizzler, and I'm like, I might be able to take him.
Theo Von
You know, I saw him the other night. Yeah.
Adam Devine
He's nine years old. Rizzlers everywhere, dude. Oh, I think I offended these guys. Big Justice. And because I. I said I didn't even take a bite of the cookie, and then I said, look at it at Big justice eyes. Because he's upset. Said because I gave it three booms without tasting it. And I guess you're supposed to give it five booms.
Theo Von
What? Who has time to do five booms? They do.
Adam Devine
They have all the time to do the booms, dude. And I didn't know. I. I might. This was at the Super Bowl. I might have been a few drinks deep.
Theo Von
Yeah, for sure. And you're touching the back of a child already.
Adam Devine
I'm touching a child.
Theo Von
Look at.
Adam Devine
Look at, like, my. My. My face is hanging a little bit, dude.
Theo Von
This looks like, literally a Christmas card from Epstein's island right here. Dude. There's a. There is a brave Italian, which some people would say, like, kind of the Magellan of Costco there. A Costco Magellan with a child. Okay.
Adam Devine
With just his son.
Theo Von
Yeah, With. Okay. That is his son.
Adam Devine
I believe so.
Theo Von
Okay.
Adam Devine
I believe so.
Theo Von
Yeah. And then there's Adam Devon, who's had a couple drinks, just lurking. Super Bowl. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Lurking. Dude, would you.
Theo Von
If you were.
Adam Devine
I mean, real talk, if you didn't know Epstein was a creep and he invites you. He's just a cool billionaire that you met at a party, and you're not getting any weird vibes. He asks you. He's like, hey, I got this jet. You want to come to my island? You got nothing going on that week. You'd go to the island, right?
Theo Von
Yeah, Yeah. I. Me too.
Adam Devine
When people are like, check the logs. I'm like, not everybody. Because even creeps got to take a day off. Like, even you're not the. The kids every day. Yeah.
Theo Von
Yeah. That's a. Probably a seasonal or like.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it's a special event.
Theo Von
Right? It's like, just when your dudes are there to party. It's like. But otherwise, you have to also have, like, regular people.
Adam Devine
Regular.
Theo Von
Because here's the thing. You have to keep up the ruse that it's a regular place where people go to have fun.
Adam Devine
That's what I think.
Theo Von
So that the guys who do go and perv or the females that do go and perv out there.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Because it could have been men and women that doing it. I'm not talking about the young. Young people we don't know, but the adults, they need to be able to trick their spouses into believing that they go there.
Adam Devine
And they're like, you've been there the one time. You know, it's a chill place. There's coconuts.
Theo Von
Yeah, there's coconuts and ukulele.
Adam Devine
There's like, that guy doing the ukulele. There's the fire dancers that come out and perform.
Theo Von
Yeah. There's like, a lot of young kids whose parents aren't there starting a band or whatever.
Adam Devine
Yeah, they're just starting a band. Yeah, yeah. They're just. You know, this is getting dark.
Theo Von
Yeah, sorry.
Adam Devine
There's a character. Yeah, there's like a guy just doing funny. Yeah, yeah. He's just doing little artwork where you're like. Makes your nose too big. Something that kind of offends you, but.
Theo Von
You'Re like, it's funny, right?
Adam Devine
And everyone's like, it's really funny. And you're like, okay, all right. Yeah, all right.
Theo Von
Yeah, I know.
Adam Devine
I see that. And I'm like, I don't know about. I don't think all of them are creeps. Like, for sure. Some for. For sure. Some are.
Theo Von
We haven't got to. Dude, there's no way we're ever getting the real Epstein files. It's been redacted. It's being manipulated right now, so.
Adam Devine
Because some of these politicians are probably on it. Yeah, they're on it. And they're like. And even whether they were the ones doing dastardly deeds or not, who knows? I don't know. But you. If your name is on it. Like, if your name was on it, you don't want it out. Even if you didn't do anything wrong, even though you were just there sipping on a smoothie, just having a fun afternoon on this cool private island. Yeah, I haven't been on a ton of private islands. Oh, dude, I would like to go.
Theo Von
Yeah, I got invited to one one time, I think it was. Was Lavar Burton. Was it Lavar Burton?
Adam Devine
Yeah. Maybe he's a Reading Rainbow guy. He's got a private island.
Theo Von
Does he do the Virgin Airlines or whatever? No, no, that's Lavar Arrington, maybe.
Adam Devine
No, that is not his name. It's not Lavar even a little bit Richard Branson? Yes, very much not Lavar, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you went to. You went there.
Theo Von
No, they were doing something. He has an island. There were. There was something there, and they. Yeah, I somehow got invited. I. Oh, it didn't seem like something that was for me, maybe. I don't know. It seemed like, okay, so maybe you.
Adam Devine
Wouldn'T go to Epstein Island. Maybe I would be the one to get tricked.
Theo Von
But here's the thing. Say you're at Epstein island and you notice things are weird. What do you. Then you just stay on the tennis courts or whatever. Like, what would you do all weekend?
Adam Devine
Yeah, you're just like, you. You call yourself the pickleball king.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You're just always just over there trying to not see some sides. Yeah. Yeah. There's no one to hit, too, because everyone's like, this back dark room seems a lot of fun. Fun. God, yeah. And also, like, the Diddy white parties. I'm glad I was never during that peak. Like, I was. I was talking with my boys. I was like, dude, if we threw out a different vibe in the workaholics days when it was when it's just peeking and that we get the invite, like, hey, do you want to go to the Diddy party? I'm going all white everything.
Theo Von
Well, if Shamar Moore would have been one of the. One of the workaholics, or if you'd have had like, a. Probably a more of a black cast member, urban cast member, then you might. And say, you. There's.
Adam Devine
Then Eric Griffin was more plugged in, right?
Theo Von
Griffin was a little bit more Griffin than Eric.
Adam Devine
Yeah, absolutely.
Theo Von
Then I think then, yeah, they could have been invited. And then if you get there, then what do you see? They just brought up Drew Ski in a thing. Did you see that?
Adam Devine
I did, but he then came out. He's like, dude, I said nothing to do with it. It was like in 2018, I was living in my mom's basement. I'm like, yeah, that's probably true, but it's just crazy.
Theo Von
Why. But why even let that leak? You have to start thinking, if something gets leaked, why are there they doing, like, because it's all some manipulative tactic, you know?
Adam Devine
Yeah. And so I don't know. I mean, who knows? Obviously, there's victims and. And people were doing dastardly things.
Theo Von
But you never heard anything about that when you were.
Adam Devine
No, I did. I, you know, I just wasn't cool. Like, I, I, I didn't get those Invites. I for sure would have gone there and just like kicked it by the.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You know, just. Just eating, like, you know that have like a seafood tower.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
You know, this is a diddy party. You know, there's like towers of seafood. So I'm just eating there, eating crab legs, licking up the butter. They're like, someone's trying to tag me in to the orgy. Just covered in oil.
Theo Von
Like. No, you do that point at your legs.
Adam Devine
You're like, I can't because of all the scars. I can't. Dick. Dick chopped off. Dick was lopped off in the accident. You do that thing where, you know how break dancers, they start to do the break dance, but then they don't get going, you know, that's. That's what you do.
Theo Von
You're like, oh, oh, oh.
Adam Devine
Pull the hammy. Pull the hammy right quick. I can't get in the orgy.
Theo Von
Yeah, dude, that's right. Even I'd have been like in the vaping section on the side of the orgy, if they're like, oh, if somebody gets hurt, if a couple people get.
Adam Devine
Hurt, you're deep on the bench.
Theo Von
It's like when they put in the water guy from like to make that three point shot, or they put in the down syndrome guy to make the six pointer or whatever, they tell them it's a six pointer. That's what I would have been in.
Adam Devine
Yeah, you're real deep on the bench when you come, but then you hit, you hit that, that money shot. You're the hero. You're the hero of the whole party.
Theo Von
People go crazy. Yeah. Did you, did you get to body slam Big justice? Did you see the Rizzler? You fight him too?
Adam Devine
I didn't fight the Rizzler. No, I. And yeah, I didn't. I didn't get to fight any of the children, which I was bummed. I was bummed. Yeah. Because I'm like, someone needs to take these kids down and. And I'm about their size, dude. I'm not that. But no, I. I only choke slammed an adult male, so that kind of sucks.
Theo Von
But if you got a chance to remodel the skeleton, dude, I love this phrase. Remodel or one of these. Of one of these boom babies, dude, Take them down.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Did they move in front of got.
Adam Devine
The boom now, right? Who's got the boom now?
Theo Von
Did they steal the boom? Did they, did they boom in front of you or not?
Adam Devine
There's a lot of booming. They're booming all over. Anywhere they go, they're Booming. Dude, have you not met the boom guys?
Theo Von
I never. I met the Rizzler the other night at dinner. I saw him.
Adam Devine
Oh, dude, that's.
Theo Von
Dude, he was drinking Dr. Pepper past 845.
Adam Devine
I'm like, he's a wild man. Yeah, the. I mean, these kids are off the rails, but I like that.
Theo Von
That the.
Adam Devine
It's a new generation of superstars.
Theo Von
Oh, there you are.
Adam Devine
At Craig's. A new generation of superstar. Children like this used to be like, Corey Haim, you know, Right?
Theo Von
Oh, yeah. He's the Macaulay Culkin of our time.
Adam Devine
Yeah, exactly. But it seems like they're not going off the rails. We'll find out here in 15 years if he's going to have like a. A sad tale about time.
Theo Von
Well, how does it end? Yeah, that's the thing. You have to look 10 years in the future because he's a superstar. Dude.
Adam Devine
He does. He does this maneuver.
Theo Von
People go wild. It was crazy. It's.
Adam Devine
It's his. Ah, you know.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Look, someone already beat you. Beat you to it. They knew exactly. The Internet. Undefeated, man. You have a good idea. It's. It's up there. It's already. They already did it.
Theo Von
It's done.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Was there a movie that you wanted that like. Well, yeah, the Resort. I mean, I'll tell you this. He definitely seemed like his grades were failing. Somebody's like, his grades suck. That's what I heard.
Adam Devine
Oh, really? We're word at Craig's. Yeah, yeah, People. People were passing around those pot pies they have at Craig's, and they're like, hey, before you take a bite of that, just know the r.
Theo Von
Suck.
Adam Devine
Dude.
Theo Von
Dude, he had a little tattoo. It said social studies.
Adam Devine
Oh, damn, that's rough. That's a wild tat to have at that age.
Theo Von
So obviously he's been going through a lot. You know, he said. He. I said. I said. He said this. These lips haven't seen a school lunch in two years. That's what he said. So obviously he's living high on the hog.
Adam Devine
Dude, I don't even know. I. I thought he was mute because all I've ever seen him do is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta. It's the sh.
Theo Von
He does too many things, though, kind of.
Adam Devine
I think. I think. I think it's just this, right? And he's showing his jawline. That's what's kind of cool about him is he doesn't have much of a jawline line. But I like, he's just like, I don't give a I got the Riz. So come. Come at me. It's like a good way to build up self esteem, you know, for. For children that are out there.
Theo Von
Some people are saying he's young Gray. He's the actual Young Gravy.
Adam Devine
You know, Young Gravy was at the wrestling event, too. Yeah, the. The young and Young Gravy was at the super bowl where I was also hanging out with Big Justice. So that. Yeah, I mean, they're running in the same circles, dude.
Theo Von
You guys have the same menstrual cycle.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I guess.
Theo Von
Guess so. Yeah. But that's crazy. And. But here's. Here's the craziest part to me is that Big justice isn't related to the Rizzler, so.
Adam Devine
I thought they were brothers, dude. I thought there were brothers. These are just two social media kids getting together doing. Doing their. Their social media things that.
Theo Von
Dude, years from now, there will be like. Like these, like, baseball card signing things where it'll be like the Rizzler. You and me will be there.
Adam Devine
That'd be sick.
Theo Von
Water baby or whatever. Some baby that survived on like a. The.
Adam Devine
You know, I think I'm going to do a thing with tops to have a baseball card.
Theo Von
Really? Yeah. You should.
Adam Devine
I bet they. They'll make a baseball card of you. That's kind of sick. It's kind of cool.
Theo Von
It would be kind of cool.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
And then there's these kids, MD Foodie Boys. Everybody's been watching.
Adam Devine
I like those MD Foodie Boys. I like them because they're so sincere about, like, have you tried nachos with jalapenos? It's actually pretty good. Yeah.
Theo Von
And let's watch one.
Adam Devine
I'm just a. If I had to choose, it'd probably be like, pepperoni. But I'm not a big. I'm not a big. I'm just a regular cheese guy. I just do cheese. I don't. I don't do. I just do cheese. I don't really like pepperoni. I'll do pepperoni, but same thing. Like, yeah, lots of other big pepperoni fans, dude. This is the podcast and people love it. And I also love it. They're just so sincere, man.
Theo Von
How can you not have a. How can you. Was there an age where you didn't like or you just didn't care? Just.
Adam Devine
You're riled up. You're riled up right now, dude. I've. I don't know if I've ever seen you this riled.
Theo Von
Well, I don't understand. It's like, whoa, you're the foodie boys. But dude, what are you talking about?
Adam Devine
Whoa, dude, it's okay. No, it's fine. No, I like it, I like it.
Theo Von
I like it just irks me because do talk about some food. Talk about some ragatoni or something. Talk about some.
Adam Devine
See, well, this is the genius. You start off, you start, start off.
Theo Von
They're little kids, right?
Adam Devine
So they're starting off with like hot dogs. Like what condiments you like? Do you like on your cheeseburger? What condiments? Mostly condiment based. Now. Now they're moving on to pizza. What things do you like on your pizza? And then as they grow, the, the dishes get more complex. We're gonna grow with them and, and their flavor palettes.
Theo Von
I think that's.
Adam Devine
I think that's what people love and relate to because it's. Because you're not going to them for an actual. Like, this is the fl. They're not like chefs, they're children. So it's just kind of funny to watch these kids sincerely talk about whether they like pepperoni on their pizza or not.
Theo Von
Got it.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Well, I just think. Yeah, I just. I don't know, there's. Yeah, I guess. Am I hating on children now? What am I doing? You're right. Yeah. It's okay. Excited for them. It's okay to hate on soup or something. That would leave least I want to see them evolve a little gacho or something. Well, just a four minute conversation about if pepperoni on, but no information. It's a. It's. That's the thing. It's astounding to have four people and walk away from each conversation they do with zero information at all. Yeah, about.
Adam Devine
I understand what you're saying about food at all. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. But I, I think I wish them luck. Yeah, I think they're, I mean the run away successes. I mean, I'm sure people look at my career and are like, what is he doing? Like, this sucks.
Theo Von
Right?
Adam Devine
Like, why doesn't he do xyz? I'm like, I'm just doing me, baby.
Theo Von
There they are right now. But how does it end? McLovin.
Adam Devine
That kid McLovin. No name.
Theo Von
What's the one? McGriddle is the middle one, right? Perm. Okay. You have no name. McGriddle. Chub perm.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
So that's also. I think that's a tr. Isn't that a trans restaurant wrestler?
Adam Devine
Yeah, it seems like it could be. He's got a. He's got an earring he's, he's kind of the bad boy of the group.
Theo Von
That's kind of sick. They're basically, they're the new kids on the, on the block. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Did you ever have an ear piercing? Did you ever.
Theo Von
Yeah, two of them. Did you?
Adam Devine
Yeah, I did too.
Theo Von
Yeah. Dude, that was so fun, dude.
Adam Devine
It was weird.
Theo Von
And it would close up and you would still force something in it on days you needed to feel cool, dude.
Adam Devine
I would, Yeah, I tried. I, I wanted to get a gauge. I wanted to have like, I wanted.
Theo Von
To be that guy your characters had that have you.
Adam Devine
I wanted, I wanted a lip piercing. I wanted the whole thing. I wanted to be punk rock, dude. I mean, I'm, I got an article star tattoo.
Theo Von
Oh, you, well, you have a lot of. You seem like you've been through a lot. Yeah, like a child of a Vietnam, like a Vietnam veteran, somebody you, you know.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I've, I, I went through, I, I am happy to say I never went through like, you know, some kids were like, oh, I went through an emo phase or I went through like a goth phase. I'm glad I didn't go down like a weird path where you're like, yeah, I wore a lot of fishnets in seventh grade or whatever. I'm glad I didn't do that. I had like small waves where, Yeah, I would bleach the tips of my hair.
Theo Von
Right?
Adam Devine
Yeah, I, I got a, a piercing, you know, in the left ear.
Theo Von
You ever pierced your nipples or.
Adam Devine
No, no, I never did the nips. You do that?
Theo Von
No, I never did that. That was a little while for me. That guy who did that was starting to be, he was doing a lot of drugs and he was secretly probably touching men in his car or whatever. Men who wanted it.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I, I, I had a friend. Not a friend, a guy I knew in high school. Not a friend, not a friend.
Theo Von
Okay.
Adam Devine
He pierced his, his dick in high school. Dude. In high school. And I know for a fact he wasn't getting laid, but he was saying, like, how good it. It's gonna, like it's gonna feel. And he was saying like, it feels so good. And I'm like, I know you're not getting late, dude. We're both 16, 17 years old. I know that. And also, what kind of piercer is seeing a 17, 16 year old boy? And it's like, let me, I'll get, I'll be the one to get in there. Yeah, it was, the whole thing was bizarre.
Theo Von
Do you remember when the first guy hooked up with A girl. And then the next weekend, you guys all went out or something. He, like, suddenly had a condom in his wallet or something. Or it was like, suddenly he was like. He would be like, if the girls come, let me talk to him. Or just like, dude.
Adam Devine
It was seventh and eighth grade. My one friend started having sex with our other friend. And it was unreal. And it was years, dear God, years before the rest of us were catching up. And so he, like, he was like, the immediately went from like this kind of our. He was chub perm of our group. And then so. And then suddenly he's got this swagger to him, dude. And there's no catching up.
Theo Von
Yeah, there's no catching up. Yeah, there's nothing you can do to suddenly be in the cool group. And then like, he was able to talk to older guys now suddenly. But yeah, it was.
Adam Devine
I'm still. I'm still rollerblading, you know, Like, I'm not. I'm still like, hey, watch me backwards Rollerblade Is this sick? And they're like, no, dude, we're now having sex with girls. And I'm like, oh, so you don't want me? You don't watch me me, like, swerve these cones real quick with these hips. He's like, I'm working on my hip movement right now, dude.
Theo Von
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
I was a little. I was a little blader a little later. Yeah, that was a little bit of a phase.
Theo Von
What? You're learning, dude.
Adam Devine
You're learning a lot about me, dude.
Theo Von
What happened to you? There's so much that occurred, dude.
Adam Devine
Well, I couldn't. Rollerblading was easier in, like, eighth grade. Was easier for me to do than a lot of other. I couldn't skateboard. Like, my friends were skateboarding so I could rollerblade because it was just a smoother movement and easier on my joints. So it was. I was already look like an old man thinking about my joints in eighth grade. So it's just me, like, wiggling my hips, skateboarding behind my friends.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Oh, yeah. It wasn't that offensive. You don't have to be that disgusted by it.
Theo Von
You're right. And I'm sitting. Were you swearing, wearing knee pads and stuff?
Adam Devine
No, no, dude, I'm still. I'm still a bad boy. Yeah, dude. I'm still, like, wearing chunky corduroy pants and like a. A sick Metallica shirt with the lightning bolts, you know, I'm still cool, dude. I still have like a bowl cut. But my hair was. Was too. I like, still. I Have. My hair is too, like, buoyant.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
So it would. It just went like this. This dink.
Theo Von
Oh, yeah.
Adam Devine
It was just like a little, like the tip of a dick. It was like a little dickhead. Just like a. Right here. And I could pull it. I could pull the hair. It was so buoyant. I could pull it and it would go down to here, dude. And then you release it and go, damn.
Theo Von
You had a beautiful thing going on.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I was. I. I was looking good in the eighth grade, man.
Theo Von
You've been through a lot, man. You've been through a lot, dude. Do you. Do you. Will your stiffness. Is it getting better? Is it getting worse? Do you feel like over time it's getting better?
Adam Devine
It ebbs and flows. I have good days and bad days, but it is getting better. So I'm still hoping to. Oh, to be in Marvel. If they give me a call. I got a lot of. Last time I came on here, I was like, dunking on Marvel, saying that they ruined comedy movies because everybody wants to watch these big budget things, dude.
Theo Von
People.
Adam Devine
People were very mad. My agents were upset at me.
Theo Von
Really? Since you said that, everyone in the world has agreed with that. Exactly.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Including a lot of agencies. It's like, well, look, if we can't get him in a Marvel movie, what are we gonna do? You know? Yeah, I mean, we've had a lot of great.
Adam Devine
They were very mad at me. They were like, don't. Don't with Marvel. Like, I cannot believe you said that on that podcast. I'm like, I wasn't dunking on Marvel, dude. I was just saying I wish there were more comedies, but they don't make comedies anymore because everyone wants to see a $200 million epic, you know?
Theo Von
Well, if they. If they need, like, Mailman or something, then they'll. Marvel will come.
Adam Devine
Thank God. If there's a mailman superhero, I think I'm the guy, dude.
Theo Von

Adam Devine
Oh, yeah. I'm trying to get a few Independent movies off the ground, are you? Yeah. And it's. It's tough, dude. I didn't. I this. I've never done an independent movie. I've always done with a studio or with Netflix or with someone like that. Someone with them deep pockets.
Theo Von
How much budget do you need to make an independent movie though?
Adam Devine
I'm like, I'm looking for like 7 to 10 million dollars.
Theo Von
That's a lot of money.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
This is Mark Duplass right here. He's made a lot of great stuff.
Adam Devine
He's made a lot of independent movies. Time for a big announcement.
Theo Von

Adam Devine
The Puffy Chair and the One I Love and Safety Not Guaranteed and, and documentary series like Wild Wild country and An Evil Genius. And we're doing it in television now, you know, with, with shows like room 104 and the creep Tapes and Penelope. But the problem is we get it.

Oh man. Would have been crazy if we're all here, right here.
Adam Devine
Get Spade in here. He just pops out behind the curtain. He's like, I'm crippled.
Theo Von
And we have a dolly that moves you around. Uhhuh. Yeah. I'm just pushed everywhere. So what's next? Your family's growing. Do you take a little time off of work? When did you guys finish Gemstones?
Adam Devine
We finished a few months ago. Like three months, four months ago. And I've been just dad mode right now. And I, I have a movie in development at Netflix. I. I'm selling this show with the workaholics. Guys. I got another show that I'm taking out.
Theo Von
Wow.
Adam Devine
So it's a lot of like production, like pre production stuff and you know how it goes. It's like, we're gonna make the movie, and I have, like, a couple movies that are in development, and we're like, we're making the movie, and then it takes years, dude.
Theo Von
Yeah, years.
Adam Devine
And you think it's happening, and it takes so long. But for me, I love.
Theo Von
Love it.
Adam Devine
I love doing it. But, yeah, I still have that itch of, like, wanting to just get out there and get something done right now. And that's why I do the podcast, but with the workaholics guys, this is important. But I also miss doing stand up. Dude.
Theo Von
Yeah, I was gonna say, would you consider going out and touring again? It's such a. That's such a grind, though, once you have a family and you're acting and stuff like that. I feel like that's a tough grind.
Adam Devine
Well, because it used to be, like, a fun escape from. From the grind of producing and starring in TV and movies. Because then you're like, well, now I'm gonna go on the road with my boys, and it's like a party, and we're gonna go for a few months, and I'm gonna do a ton of shows, and it'll be great. It's like a little escape from my regular life of acting. And now, like, with the family, I'm like, I just feel like a dastardly dog.
Theo Von
Yeah, well, your wife had a family kid, first of all, which she. I don't know if she should have done or not, but she should have. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Okay.
Theo Von
Yeah. Once she did that, it kind of puts you in the hot seat.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Yeah. And also, like, being around.
Theo Von
The joke. But I was, like, blaming having a kid on just her. Yeah, It's. What are you doing? Having this kid?
Adam Devine
Yeah. How dare she? Actually, she slipped that one by me. I just thought she was gaining weight. I'm like, look at my plump little Betty. She's looking all sexy. A little round mound.
Theo Von
Look at.
Adam Devine
Look at her go. Smuggling a little basketball in there. And then out came a kid. Dude, it was wild.
Theo Von
You just keep tickling her.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Like, hey, yeah.
Adam Devine
She's like, don't tickle me. Something's gonna pop out. She's like, oh, man. She's having spasms in her belly like I do. Looking like a little handprint coming out just like me. Yeah, dude, it is wild. When she had it, the. Our. Our son Bo turned around when she. They pulled him. Him out. He looked right back at me, dude. It was like. It was like. It stopped my heart. I was like, they. Everyone says it's like a transformative thing to see your son or daughter be born. But it stopped me dead in my track. He looked right at me like, what just happened? Like, I've been all cooking up warm inside, right? And now I'm out here all cold. He turned around and was just like.
Theo Von
Like, I'm the captain now. Yeah.
Adam Devine
It's like, I. I steer this ship, I rise. Huh.
Theo Von
Wow.
Adam Devine
Yeah, it was pretty wild, dude.
Theo Von
The origin story of humans is pretty crazy that you climb out of something. Woman's belly, dude. It's like Greek mythology.
Adam Devine
Vagina, though.
Theo Von
Well, yeah, some of them come out the belly, actually.
Adam Devine
No, you were right. You were right, cuz it came. My wife had a C section, so. You were right.
Theo Von
Perverts go out. That's what I did. You.
Adam Devine
Yeah. I'm a little freak like that, dog. I'm a little freak like that sk. Sk.
Theo Von
Dude, the. It's a potty, dude. Do not lick my.
Adam Devine
That's what I did. That's what I did. My.
Theo Von
You're supposed to read the wall in there. Do not lick on the way out.
Adam Devine
I know. I read in like, watch me. I'm gobbling. I'm gobbling up the world.
Theo Von
Watch me whip.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
Watch me na.
Adam Devine
I almost. I almost said at the same time.
Theo Von
Adam Divine, man, Theovon, thanks so much, dude, for hanging out.
Adam Devine
So fun.
Theo Von
I'm glad to see you be. You're physically doing okay. Your family's growing. We got to keep making funds. You have to keep making fun stuff. This was one thing that I thought was really exceptional that Danny McBride said. He goes, you know, I don't know if Hollywood knew that they wanted Eastbound, because people are always like, why don't they make. They make like, Eastbound and Down anymore. You always hear that kind of stuff, right? And he's like, nobody was asking us for something like he's been. And down. Nobody was asking us for something like vice principal. It was like we just made it and then said, we know this is funny, and then they jump on it. But because you can't expect them to think of the next thing, they're. That's not what they do any. He didn't say, that's not what they do anymore. But that's what I start to realize. They don't have that creative thing anymore. That's our job.
Adam Devine
Our job is to give them what we think is the funniest thing. And that's what we did with Workaholics and what we're going to try to do with this new show if we actually get to make it is like, you make what you think is the funniest and what you and your friends would laugh at and what you want to see. See what you want to actually watch.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And then hopefully other people get on board. And I, you know, I feel. And I think you have a finger on the pulse too, is we know what we like, and it seems like a lot of other people like what we like as well. So that, you know, I think you just have to make that you think is fun and funny and what. Not even what other people want to see, because they don't even know they want to see it in until you make it.
Theo Von
Right. So that's. That's the thing. And that's a lot of things. It's like, if you wait forever to get somebody to sign off on your thing, then it might not happen. You just have to go and. And try and figure it out and investing in yourself. That's what I realized. Like, if I lose investing in myself, I don't really lose. It's like.
Adam Devine
And at least you did it and you had that experience and, you know, the nuts and bolts of creating something now. So if you decide to do it again, you and go, this is what I would change. That's what I would do differently.
Theo Von
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And also the like, like, with people making something that they think other people would want to see, that's where you lose. When you start to go, I. I know that they want to see this type of show. Like, this is what's selling or this is why. Yeah. You know, I think that's when you get in a little trouble, like, make what you want to make, and then hopefully that'll catch on, because as soon as you start to, like, go down the path, then it's derivative and people are like, didn't we already see this show? We've already done this.
Theo Von
Then you're just kind of follow. Yeah. Then you're just a follower.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Theo Von
You know, but, yeah, it's tough. It's tough. It's tough to figure it out. And obviously, you and I are. We're speaking from a place where, you know, we can afford to try and make a project. So it's like, sure, you know, not trying to sound like knowing that there's not a barrier to entreat it at for regular folks. It's lower. I agree. Yeah, I agree. It's so different now that you can get a camera, you can get a phone, you can figure something out yourself, how to make things, you know.
Adam Devine
Well, it was like, when we did Workaholic, not to just keep harping on this, but there's. This is my experience is when we did Workaholics, it was the barrier of entry had just lowered. It used to be, like, to make something like that, it was $100,000 to make. You know, to even make a short film or $50,000 or whatever, and everyone had to put it on credit cards and, like, to try to make something that maybe would work.
Theo Von
I need to slurp off some producer somewhere.
Adam Devine
You would have to. You're constantly gobbling. Yeah, you're constantly gobbling, and someone wants.
Theo Von
You to use silverware when you blow them or whatever. I'm like, how rich is this, dude?
Adam Devine
I got pour some gray poupon on that and do. Do some gobbles. But now, you know, it's just. It was just like, a camera and some lights, and we were able to shoot something that Comedy Central was like, what you doing over there?
Theo Von
