Chapter 2: What childhood accident influenced Adam's comedy career?
And he had a cute, tight little afro at the time. He didn't have those. And I was like kind of girls like think he's sexy. But that was not the case. Right. And community college. And he was very funny. And then Kyle. who ended up directing a lot of our stuff and is now a big director. And he we were like, oh, you guys make videos. I make videos.
I'll show you my videos from high school and you guys show me yours. And then as they were showing me theirs, I like was sinking down in my seat and like there are so much better than. Like the quality of their video, because Kyle's just a talented director. And it was just me going like, I think if the frame just holds on me the whole time, that's a good shot.
Hey, man, I think your way is my way also.
I don't understand why I'm not in frame. So if the camera's here, that's all we need. And you can be off camera.
Deliver your lines off camera. So their stuff was so much better. And then and then it was kind of off to the races from there. And then we just sort of clicked. And it also is the type of thing that when you spend when you're in your like, I mean, we are teenagers were 18 years old at that time, when you're that age, you spend 100% of your time. with those people.
And so we just had so many inside, like the way that we talk and the way that we communicate with each other and is so familiar that I think when we finally got our shot, people were like, oh, I can tell that they're great friends. I want to be part of that.
The chemistry was all there. Yeah. You had done your 10, what Malcolm Gladwell would call the 10,000 hours of we've done all our stuff. I'm gonna go back a little before that, which is something I wasn't aware of, which is you went through a pretty traumatic experience when you were a kid. Mm-hmm. Two, first of all, you were Catholic. I'm still reeling from that.
And David, you went through Catholicism as well.
I have a one-year-old now, and my wife was like, we have to get him baptized. And I know no other way. So I'm like, yeah, he's Catholic. And my wife was like, no, he's not. And I'm like, meh. Might as well just make him Catholic. I don't know. Like, that's what I know how to do. You kneel, you stand, you do this thing. That's the thing. And no, that is not how we're raising our son.
