ood. so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. this turned out great. cascade. you know adam pally from "happy endings" and dr. peter princess on "the mindy project." >> adam stars in a comedy about a groupf go ahead for a bachelor party for their buddy even when his engagement abruptly ends. >> this is an emotional roller coaster of male bonding. >> i really wanted to make a movie about men who don't talk about their feelings because i never talked about my feelings once in my life. >> this is like therapy for you. >> in a sense like therapy. it was like therapy.

to do with my dad than this movie did. >> do you ever do stuff like this? guy time. not in these circumstances? >> yeah. look, i have a gambling problem. i'm open about that. so i like las vegas and i like going with buddies. but there's always i think part of the reason that this movie was so interesting to make is any time you do that, there's an underlying emotion of people want to bond and be like, how are you really doing? no one ever talks about that. it was fun to kind of go in there and make a movie about it. >> it's a bachelor party that is interrupted in a sense because the fiance has committed suicide. >> yes. and it's more of a cleansing trip the characters like to call it. i think that part of the thing that i took away from this movie is you can't really judge how

life is short. at the same time. however anybody needs to move forward, you can't judge it and you just kind of have to be there. >> it's interesting. the modern man at least how the stereotype is that you talk more. do you cry openly? >> cry all the time. >> i know you wear size 32 jean. >> did you hear that? >> show us these jeans. they look fantastic. >> he now wears a 32. jeans. >> when i commenteded on your look, what did you say? >> i said i look like a jewish french montana. >> something you never hear in history. you seem like an open guy. >> i guess i'm open. i still have all of the guy tendencies not to want to confront anything and to, you know, bury my head in marijuana and video games.

>> at the same time, you know, all of those people have really deep emotions, too. so they need to confront it. can i ask you a question? can i zika from that background? >> we sprayed it. you're good. you're covered. >> just want to make sure. >> adam pally, thank you, sir.
