They met at The Viper Room in West Hollywood, which opened in 1993 — the same year Counting Crows made it big with their debut album, August and Everything After.

Adam said he "lived at The Viper Room, night in and night out" around that time period.

"I met Jennifer Aniston there," he said. "A bunch of my friends lied to me and told me she had a crush on me."

"Those same friends lied to her and told her I had a crush on her. I honestly had no idea who she was, I had been on the road during all of Friends. I had never seen it, I don't think," he continued.

He described her as "really nice, really funny, really pretty. And also, she liked me."
