Transcript
00:00I'm joined now by Adam, divine actor, of course,
00:02of Workaholics, Righteous Gemstones,
00:05and Pitch Perfect fame amongst others.
00:07Now, Adam, I understand you're a huge Clippers fan.
00:09So as much as we can be upset about like sports
00:12and trivial things like that being postponed,
00:14how upset were you to see the Clippers season halted?
00:18Yeah, we're screwed.
00:20There's a curse on us Clippers.
00:22This was our year.
00:23We obviously, obviously we were winning the whole thing.
00:28So if we don't win in this year,
00:30I feel that they should give us some sort of honorary trophy.
00:33Because I said, if the season is canceled,
00:35I'm going to argue that it would have been
00:37a LeBron championship.
00:38For those historical arguments,
00:40considering what he was doing in year 17?
00:43Yeah, I'm sick of that argument though,
00:44because just because someone can do something great
00:48in year 17 doesn't make them better
00:50than what somebody can do in year six.
00:53I love LeBron.
00:55I think he's great.
00:56Do I think it was kind of a weak move
01:00to go to the Lakers, the death star?
01:04Yeah, I do.
01:05And if he was a true champion,
01:07he probably should have came to the Clippers.
01:08We needed him.
01:09They didn't need him on the Lakers.
01:11Well, you did wind up with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
01:14So it worked out pretty well.
01:15Why do you think the Clippers would have
01:17or will beat the Lakers if they meet in a playoff series?
01:20We've got like this grit and this grind to us
01:24and the way they've constructed this team.
01:26Every player on the team is just a banger, just a dog.
01:31LeBron, he obviously has that.
01:35A.D., it's kind of yet to be seen
01:37if he can really step in.
01:39In a seven game series, the Clippers would take them
01:43in six is my guess.
01:44It certainly brought the Clippers profile up.
01:47And I know Steve Ballmer's getting the arena set up
01:49and everything like that.
01:50What's the representation for the Clippers in LA right now?
01:55Coolest owner in the league, right?
01:57Ballmer?
01:58I mean, besides him and maybe Cuban.
02:00Maybe Cuban gets just as excited as Ballmer.
02:03I got season tickets and to see him sitting courtside
02:07every game, just like, it can be a layup by Landry Schammett
02:12and he's just like, ooh, ooh, ooh!
02:16And I'm like, that's the kind of owner
02:18that you want for your team.
02:20And how he's turned this, the whole atmosphere
02:23of the team around, he's gonna build us a new stadium.
02:26From Clipper fans who haven't had a lot to be excited about,
02:30we're really turning a page in LA history
02:33and the Clippers are gonna be here to stay for a long time.
02:36What do you think of the idea of the NBA returning,
02:39you know, like in a quarantine place like Las Vegas
02:42or something like that?
02:43How do you think they should start it back up,
02:44right at the playoff?
02:45I would like to see us figure out something
02:47to get back and finish the season,
02:49whether it's shortening the season
02:52and maybe doing six or eight games to finish the season
02:56or just doing some sort of playoff.
03:00The Michael Jordan documentary is being released early
03:03because of all this.
03:04And I thought that should be a signal for any major company
03:07that has all the money, like Disney or something,
03:09just release the screens.
03:11If it's ready, drop it right now.
03:13Very excited about that Jordan documentary.
03:16It looks, you know, obviously,
03:19he was my favorite player of all time.
03:21I had like 11 Michael Jordan posters in my room growing up.
03:25Seeing some of that footage that they've shown,
03:27I'm like, I had never seen that before.
03:29I don't know how Jordan was able to hoard
03:32all of his good footage and then just drop it on us
03:35in the middle of a pandemic.
03:37It only adds to the legend, right?
03:39Yeah.
03:40You know, this is a good chance for me to allow you
03:41to promote some of your stuff
03:42because a lot of it's available on streaming.
03:45So if you had to pick one of your roles
03:47to tell people to stream first, would it be, you know,
03:50Workaholics, would it be Pitch Perfect?
03:52Would it be the Righteous Gemstones?
03:54What would you tell people to click?
03:56Workaholics, I think it's on Amazon Prime.
04:00We did 87 episodes, so there's a lot to watch there.
04:03But then the Righteous Gemstones, it's a new show.
04:07We're gonna, as soon as this is done,
04:09we'll be making more episodes.
04:11So it might be fun to catch up on that too.
04:13I also have a comedy special on Netflix, guys,
04:16Adam Devine's Best Time of Our Lives.
04:18So check that out too.
04:19Series finale of Modern Family is next week.
04:22You also took part in that show, right?
04:24Yeah, yeah, I was in quite a bit of that show.
04:27I played Andy, who was the love interest
04:31for Hayley Dunphy, a Sarah Hyland's character.
04:34And I mean, what an awesome show to be a part of.
04:38I did like 25 or 30 episodes, something like that.
04:41And it's probably gonna go down as one of
04:44the greatest sitcoms for the past at least 10 plus years.
04:47So it was really cool to be a part of it.
04:50I'll give you one more chance to tell me
04:52why the Clippers are the team to beat this year.
04:55When, cause we need something to hope for, right?
04:58You know, I'll pray to what they pray to
05:00in the Righteous Gemstones.
05:01We need something to hope for.
05:02When the NBA season returns,
05:04why will the Clippers be the team to beat?
05:06I'm not taking anything away from the Lakers
05:09and from the Bucs who are obviously great,
05:11but our bench is so deep, how much these guys want it.
05:15And they're really just, they're dogs.
05:18They're out there every day, just diving for every ball.
05:22I mean, the fact that Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell
05:24come off the bench for us when they would start
05:27for 25 other teams in the league is,
05:31I mean, that says something.
05:32And I think no other bench in the league can really compete.
05:37Thanks man, like I'm Lou Will.
05:38Adam, appreciate the time, man.
05:40Yeah, no problem.
05:41Later guys, stay safe.
