SmartLess

Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett

#3 in Comedy this week

"SmartLess" with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett is a podcast that connects and unites people from all walks of life to learn about shared experiences through thoughtful dialogue and organic hilarity. A nice surprise: in each episode of SmartLess, one of the hosts reveals his mystery guest to the other two. What ensues is a genuinely improvised and authentic conversation filled with laughter and newfound knowledge to feed the SmartLess mind.

    "Paul Simon"

    Hello SmartLess, my old friend- we’ve come to talk with you again. We’ve got diamonds on the soles of our pod this week, baby angels; It’s Paul Simon. And when it comes to name-drops, in Paul’s words: “I can give you John Lennon, but I can not give you Mao Zedong.”

    "Bill Simmons"

    We go head-to-head with the wise and opinionated Bill Simmons (podcaster, sportswriter, cultural critic, founder of The RInger). And yes, we go deep: Jason gets to talk baseball, Will gets to talk soccer, and Sean dives into the psychology of sport. With a guest like this, we’re willing to pay a luxury tax for this week’s game.
