        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comedian and actor Adam Devine has entered the reality arena.</p><p>In &#8220;Bad Ideas with Adam Devine,&#8221; out weekdays <strong>on Quibi</strong>, Devine and his celebrity pals travel to different far-flung locations to do dangerous activities. Each episode features a new jaunt with a well-known friend.</p><p>“For the most part, everyone I talked to [who appears on the show] was excited,” Devine, 36, tells The Post. “Because it&#8217;s not every day that you call someone up like, ‘Hey, do you want to go deep in the Amazon jungle together?&#8217; ’”</p><p>Devine is best known for movies such as “Pitch Perfect” and shows including Comedy Central’s “Workaholics” and HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones,” co-starring <strong>Danny McBride</strong> and John Goodman.</p><p>One episode of &#8220;Bad Ideas&#8221; features Rebel Wilson joining Devine in attempting action-movie stunts with no prior training. In another installment, “Silicon Valley” star Thomas Middleditch joins Devine in the Bahamas for a hot-pepper eating contest, while “Workaholics” co-star Anders Holm and Devin drive an ice cream truck along a “death road” in Peru &#8212; complete with hairpin turns and thousand-foot drops.</p><p>“Anders said, ‘I trust you because you know my family and won’t want my children to grow up without their father,&#8217;&#8221; Devine says. &#8220;He was guilting me into being extra cautious.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Bad Ideas&#8221; was filmed in January and February, right before the pandemic’s travel restrictions. &#8220;I talked to Quibi yesterday and it’s a huge show for them, its doing great and I’m excited people are tuning in,&#8221; Devine says. &#8220;I think it’s resonating because people are stuck at home not getting to travel or see their friends.&#8221;</p><p>He says the inspiration for the series came from a number of his past experiences.</p><figure id="attachment_16069030"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/devine.jpeg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/devine.jpeg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/devine.jpeg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Adam Devine</span><span class="credit">Quibi</span></figcaption></figure><p>“Any time you&#8217;re a kid and someone has an insane idea, like ‘No, we shouldn’t jump off this bridge into this water’ and you do it &#8212; as long as no one’s paralyzed &#8212; that ends up being a story that you tell for the rest of your life,” he says.</p><p>“I’ve always had that in the back of my head. And specifically a few years ago when I was shooting [the 2016 movie] ‘Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates’ with Zac Efron, Zac asked me, &#8216;Do you want to go shark diving?’ I was like, ‘No, I don’t. But I&#8217;m trying to be cool, so, sure!’ and we went&#8230;.And I remember getting back onto the boat afterwards being like, ‘This is a show.’</p><p>&#8220;Two friends going out doing something that you would normally never do in your everyday life, but you&#8217;re creating these memories that will last a lifetime.”</p><p>Devine’s daredevil streak comes in part from an incident when he was 11 and living in Omaha, Neb. He was hit by a cement truck and injured so severely he wasn’t sure if he would ever walk again.</p><p>“I think it was dealing with that situation where I was&#8230;really close to dying. And so after you see that, you realize how fragile life is,” he says. “Some people might have gone, ‘Oh, I must protect it at all costs,’ but I feel like for a lot of people who have life-threatening situations when they&#8217;re younger, they&#8217;re more fearless. Because they’re like, ‘I do only have one life to life, and I’m going to live it to the fullest.’</p><p>&#8220;That’s what I’m trying to do on this show,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I’m not trying to get hurt or get anyone hurt &#8212; but at the end of the day, I want to be an old person who has really cool old grandpa stories to tell.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
