We’re hanging out with Adam Devine joining us on behalf of Circle.

We will get to that in a minute, but first, my friend, we have to play a card game.

All right, right into it.

You get a lot of control in this.

It’s what’s in the tarot cards.

I will throw 3 cards face down.

You’ll pick which one you want me to turn over.

I turn it over.

There’s a question that corresponds with it.

So we go 123.

You can pick any of those 3.

What’s it gonna be?

Right in the middle, he goes right in the middle.

Standard easy.

Oh, the chariot, OK, the chariot comes back.

That’s victory and success.

You’ve had a lot of success.

You’ve been in a lot of different projects with a lot of different fans.

What’s the weirdest thing that a fan has come up to you on the street and just yelled at you based on one of your characters?

Uh, tight butthole.

I knew that was.

How did I know that was gonna be someone screams tight butthole, uh, at me when I was with my wife or my uh.

My girlfriend at the time, who’s now my wife and her entire family, and they were very weirded out.

What’s it’s from workaholics that people don’t know.

People are like, but it is from workaholics.

What’s the appropriate response when somebody yells tight butthole to you?

Keep it right, keep it tight, baby.

OK. Now I know in case anybody walks up on the street and just happens to hit me with the OK, I’m just gonna, I’m just going to let that go and we got 3 more.

Which one are you going right here?

OK, he’s going left with this 10, this one.

As the officials on it, justice.

All right, do you believe the Kansas City Chiefs get all the calls?

I hope so.

That’s who I’m rooting for.

That’s, that’s amazing.

OK, that, that’s fair.

Uh, you want that then like if that happens at a party and somebody starts saying, oh my God, you don’t want that because then everyone’s going to be like just rigged.

That’s rigged, uh, but I mean.

I, you, you hope your calls go your way for your team.

So that’s fair.

All right, let’s ask another justice like justice about fact and truth.

All right, let’s have a deep acting question.

Who’s the most, like when you think back at the guy that pushed you the hardest on set to be the best, like who’s the best guy you’ve worked with that pushes his teammates?

Oh, the best guy.

I feel like, uh, it was Peter Berg for, uh, the Circle commercial.

And he kept screaming, be funnier, which is a note that I, I need that’s I don’t know how that feels when somebody says.

Be funnier and you already do that he goes right.

There’s no this is just haphazard.

It can go anyway.

He gets the tower, uh, chaos uncertainty.

I’m just gonna ask this as a fan because certainty like what’s it gonna take to get a workaholics reboot, dude, we, uh, well, we’re gonna, we’re pitching a new show.

It’s not gonna be workaholics, but it’s, it’s something completely different, but it’ll start the three of us, um, and then you know, we almost made a workaholics movie.

And then Paramount Plus pulled the plug on us, uh, 5 weeks before starting to shoot.

So you work like it’s interesting because Workaholics is obviously a classic show, but it’s also you and two really close friends like you guys tour together and everything.

How like when you’re coming up with a new concept, you feel pressure to outdo what you’ve done already?

I, I mean, yeah, kind of, but, but it’s, it’s gonna be different.

We’re older now.

We have forehead wrinkles, we have kids, so you, you know, the gray hairs are starting to sprout in places that they’ve never sprouted before, so it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be a little different.

Congratulations.

I feel like we’re dating now.

I got information.

I didn’t know I was going to get there.

All right, you get to pick a card.

What do you got?

We’ll go back in the middle.

He goes back in the middle.

All I can think about is the gray hairs magician.

All right, we’ll stick with the workaholics question because I wrote these questions.

What NFL player could handle to man camp?

Could you handle demand camp at this point at this point, no.

The camp was very strenuous.

I feel like that is a sequan, uh, level of camps a fitness camp.

I just want, I now I want Media Day next year at the Super Bowl.

I just want you throwing together the camp and just seeing who can get through it.

All right, let’s get.

More right whichever one you want.

He goes far left this time and he gets the lovers, you know what, I wrote a sincere question here.

I’m gonna ask a funny person a sincere question.

You’ve recently expanded a family, right?

Like how has that changed your entire approach to what you do?

I don’t like it.

OK, no, I’m kidding, I’m kidding, man.

Uh, I love it, dude.

It’s, it’s awesome.

It’s, I, I have a son, he’s almost 11 year old now, and it, uh.

It just it makes everything so much better.

That’s amazing.

Who are you rooting for the game?

You’re rooting for the Chiefs.

You got the game, the Chiefs, uh, I mean, Chiefs all the way.

You got a weird prediction for us, like any like specifically awkward weird prediction on how the game plays out.

I, I think it’s gonna get so lopsided that Roger Goodell just walks midfield and goes, enough’s enough.

That’s, aren’t we done?

That’s my God, they won by 1000 points.

I didn’t even know that was possible.

Oh, that is, that is weirdly specific.

OK, you’re joining us with Circle.

I just tried it for the first time.

It’s epic.

Tell everybody tell everybody what you’re up to.

Yeah, so I, I did this commercial for Circle Water, and when they pitched me, uh.

The circle water.

I was like that’s a stupid idea.

That’s dumb.

That won’t sell.

But then I tried it, man.

It’s legit delicious and it’s this pod you put in here, you crank it up from if it’s X, you’re drinking water and then you spin the dial and you can spin up the the flavor and then it’s.

It’s 0 calories.

It’s zero sugar.

There’s ones with caffeine, electrolytes.

It’s awesome.

And in the commercial, I accidentally ordered 100,000 circles to be delivered across the country.

So when you’re watching the Super Bowl, you might just have a circle water bottle at your front door.

That’s amazing.

That’s pretty cool, huh?

I just got one Honeycrisp apple.

It is a delight when the reboot happens, just shoot me a call.

Let me know what my role is.

We appreciate you.
