I mean, honestly, this is like what I've come to expect.

So I could make like a dumb joke, but--

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey!

DESUS: What's up?

Hi.

DESUS: What's going on, homie?

ANNA KENDRICK: Good to see you guys.

Hey!

How is it going?

Aw! [INTERPOSING VOICES]

- Ready for this interview? - I know.

It's going to be great.

You can't get away from me. [INTERPOSING VOICES]

I miss you guys. [INTERPOSING VOICES]

Let's do it.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

You know a show on late night?

You know what it is, nothing but illustrious guests.

Friend of the show-- DESUS: Friend of the show--

MERO: You know what I'm saying?

DESUS: --our famous celebrity friend, who we

just be casually hanging with. - Yeah.

This doesn't even feel like work.

We're just hanging with our home girl, Anna Kendrick.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

- Oh, are there cameras? - Oh my god!

Oh my god, I didn't even realize!

Oh my god, so embarrassing! [INTERPOSING VOICES]

Oh my god, I'm sorry.

Oh, forgot to tell you about that.

How you been?

I've been amazing.

I miss you guys.

Oh, we miss you too.

ANNA KENDRICK: We're like for real friends, I love it.

Yes, we're real friends.

We have each other's phone numbers.

ANNA KENDRICK: I know. - We go out to eat.

- Yeah. - I know.

It's wild.

Heard you have a story about the last time

we went out to eat. Do you have a complaint--

I'm sorry, I didn't know we were going to get into it.

DESUS: Well, let's start. Let's begin at the beginning.

Well, first of all, I would like to say that Mero's

an innocent party here--

Thank you.

ANNA KENDRICK: --and was not involved.

I was responsibly watching my children at home.

But you guys invited me to have dinner with AOC,

which was very lovely.

DESUS: Lovely.

And I'm sure that Mero was very sad that he wasn't there.

Of course.

But in the end, he comes out the hero.

Because what happened was--

[GIGGLING]

At the end of the night, at these big fancy dinners,

when it's like, all these celebrities, it's

John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Seth Rogen Tracy Ellis

Ross, Don Cheadle, Pharrell Will-- like,

everybody's at this table.

And I understand the tendency to feel like somebody

is getting this, right?

Like, the label's picking up the check,

or the studio's picking up the check, I guess.

But no, you fucking grabbed me, and you're like, yo, nobody's

paying for this dinner.

You have to help me pay for this dinner.

[LAUGHTER] - That's true.

That is true.

And I grabbed Jay Ellis.

And I was like, well-- because Pharrell just--

he had left. DESUS: He was out.

He left. DESUS: He left.

And so-- MERO: Power move.

--I was like, well, but all these people are still here.

And like, Seth Rogen is coming up, and being like,

hey, thanks for inviting me.

I was like, (WHISPERING) get his credit card!

- That's what we're saying! - (WHISPERING) Ask him first!

Credit card!

And you were like, no.

And you were like, well, is because you're one of us now.

And I was like, this is emotional bribery.

DESUS: It is.

It's a little gaslighting, it's a little, you know?

[LAUGHTER] There's a little manipulation.

So then we just had to split this very expensive check.

Dinner, yes.

Whoo!

And I did say if this is about reparations, fine.

And you and Jay Ellis laughed, which

made me feel very relieved.

Because as I was saying it, I was like--

DESUS: Can you get away with this joke?

[SQUEALING] [LAUGHTER]

See, but you paid--

After paying that bill, you can make jokes like that.

ANNA KENDRICK: OK, great.

[LAUGHTER]

Well, I mean, other than hanging out with us,

what do you do for fun?

Now I know you go to strip clubs.

You play dice in the Bronx.

ANNA KENDRICK: Yeah.

DESUS: How else has your life changed

from your Bronx experience?

A lot more Timms, more Yankee Field, lot of ah, ah,

ahs when you speak?

No! I mean--

MERO: Some yerrs?

And I almost said this to you at the time,

because you guys kept being like, oh, when

they start rolling again, like say this piece of slang

or whatever.

And I was like, I can't say that to you

on TV, because then white women will come up to you forever

and be like-- am I right?

Like--

[LAUGHTER]

I can say that now.

Yerr! [INTERPOSING VOICES]

- Yerr! - It's true.

That is true.

Looks good, my guy.

ANNA KENDRICK: Yeah.

Even though it was for comedy purposes, I was like,

I don't think that I should say that.

There's something very important.

It set Twitter aflame.

What?

We sent you a pair of Jordans, and you took a photo of them.

- Oh yes! - That's right.

This was wild.

You performed--

This was wild.

--the cardinal sin of Jordans.

Yeah, so when we hung out in the Bronx,

you guys gave me like--

and I was very clear in my post to say like, it's

like a starter kit Jordan, because they're not like,

super impressive wild Jordans.

Probably not the kind of thing that you guys

would have necessarily picked out for me,

but you know I'm just starting, so you

got me just like a basic entry level Jordan.

Neutral color that you can mix with a lot of--

ANNA KENDRICK: And I was like, I love these, I appreciate you.

And I put them on and I took a picture in them, you know,

posed in them and I was like, thanks, Desus and Mero,

this is awesome.

And all of the comments were about-- it was just--

I didn't know sneaker culture! So--

Exactly!

I didn't know I was walking into the shitstorm

that I was walking into.

Every comment was you're like, (YELLING) The crease!

MERO: (YELLING) You're creasing them!

ANNA KENDRICK: (YELLING) Oh, what are you doing?

(YELLING) Yo, she's fucking creasing them!

- (YELLING) Oh no! - She doesn't get it.

(YELLING) What are you doing?

She doesn't get it.

Whose mans is this?

As though they're like a one of a kind--

The zoom-in on the (LAUGHING) crease and shit.

Yes!

Would you have survived a Bronx childhood?

What would Bronx Anna Kendrick be, you think?

Did you have--

Like how old?

Let's see.

MERO: I'd say born and raised.

DESUS: Born and raised. ANNA KENDRICK: Born and raised?

DESUS: Born and raised, Rhinelander Avenue.

I mean, I think like from a very young age,

like I was always super little, but I was like, very loud.

DESUS: Yeah.

So I do feel like I either just would've

gotten the shit kicked out of me every day,

or I would have just been like--

--had such a big bark that nobody would have--

Yeah, the people are like, yo, (WHISPERING)

chill the fuck out. - --yeah, fuck with me.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] - Or just seem like, crazy?

Yeah, she might have a a knife or something.

Yeah, I often did.

We asked this question because we

want to know what role we should have for you in our movie.

Oh, the movie of your life story?

MERO: Yeah.

OK.

Is it like a biopic, or is it--

It's a little bit of both.

It going to be like, embellish biopic.

ANNA KENDRICK: OK, OK, OK.

DESUS: We also need someone to help us fund it.

Are you all--

Because our movie is also a musical.

Your movie is going to become a musical?

There's just singing scenes in it.

Oh, OK, OK.

Yeah, I mean, I'm going to--

Anna Kendrick Lamar.

ANNA KENDRICK: --absolutely do the musical.

And-- (WHISPERING) wow.

Know what I'm saying?

What song could we get her to sing?

What's a strong Spanish song?

Oof! "Suavamente"?

"Suavamente"?

[INTERPOSING VOICES] - I don't think I know that one.

"Gasolina?"

Know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kind of know that one. Kind of know that.

Very entry level reggaeton joint,

you know what I'm saying? ANNA KENDRICK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, you know?

You get that with a little Daddy Yankee.

Why, does she own--

You don't think that would be problematic in any way?

You don't think I would get in any kind of trouble?

MERO: No!. - Why?

No!

I mean, you simply--

ANNA KENDRICK: No?

--you own a Dominican hookah shop up in uptown,

know what I'm saying? MERO: That's all.

OK. DESUS: You're also Dominican.

But I am like playing a gentrifier,

so we're acknowledging the problem.

No, you're a Dominican in this.

Oh, I'm Dom-- oh, OK.

Remember, we gave you the Dominican name?

ANNA KENDRICK: Yeah, no, no, no, that won't be a problem at all,

me playing-- - You can dye your hair black.

ANNA KENDRICK: No, no, no, no. - You know what I'm saying?

No.

There's been no history of--

MERO: And a lot of bronzer.

--white women playing roles that they shouldn't--

[LAUGHTER]

--in current events.

So that sounds like a safe bet.

Starring Anna Kendrick.

[LAUGHTER]

Well, get on that!

Get on that!

[LAUGHTER]

You heard her, trolls, she got pipes!

DESUS: Oh my god!

ANNA KENDRICK: Can I tell you something I love you

and I hate you.

Because my children listen to the "Trolls" soundtrack

in the car all the fucking time on long road trips,

and it makes me appreciate your vocal talent.

No, no, no, that's fine.

But also, it makes me want to drive the car off the road

and kill us all.

I-- we apologize for that.

On behalf of the "Trolls" team, we apologize for that.

Fuck you, Justin Timberlake.

Although I will say that when Justin came on, he was like,

I just want to make the music as bearable

as possible for parents.
