Adam Devine: BDE & Pitch Perfect (Full Episode)

TL;DR

Adam Devine joins Call Her Daddy to discuss his career, Pitch Perfect audition, marriage, and why he promotes MDE over BDE.

Key Points

• 1.Adam Devine was mistaken for Adam Levine during the cheating scandal. Baltimore local news ran the headline 'Adam Divine cheats on pregnant wife,' causing hundreds of angry DMs from Maroon 5 fans who clicked the wrong profile.
• 2.Devine coined MDE (Medium Dick Energy) as his personal brand. He argued BDE is 'too much to handle' and requires scheduling, while MDE is something he actively 'sells' and works with.
• 3.He accidentally auditioned for Pitch Perfect thinking it was a baseball movie. He went on his lunch break from Workaholics, didn't prepare a song, and spontaneously sang the Full House theme — and got the role.
• 4.His own father didn't believe he could sing. When Devine called to share the Pitch Perfect news, his dad said 'you can't sing worth shit' and suggested he find a way out of the movie.
• 5.Devine met his wife Chloe Bridges on a plane to New Orleans. He played Fruit Ninja for four hours to avoid flirting since he had a girlfriend, only to discover she was his co-star; he was won over when she ordered a 38oz drive-thru daiquiri.
• 6.Workaholics was shot with real friends and largely improvised energy. Devine met co-stars Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck in community college improv class at Orange Coast College; the show's characters were their real personalities 'taken to 12.'
• 7.A Workaholics movie was cancelled by Paramount Plus. Devine confirmed the project was scrapped, saying legally he couldn't discuss it further, only staring into the camera.
• 8.Devine attempted an impression of Rebel Wilson for the podcast. He admitted Australian accents are nearly impossible, defaulted to a British accent, and noted Wilson was coming on Call Her Daddy the following Monday.
• 9.Season two of Bumper in Berlin is in production for Peacock. The Pitch Perfect spin-off starring Devine will feature Sarah Hyland from Modern Family and comedian Flula Borg returning alongside new cast.
