"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.

SmartLess Media Presents: Pretty Sure I Can Fly with Johnny Knoxville & Elna Baker
Pretty Sure I Can Fly is a humorous exploration of things that had never been done, until someone did them. It’s a series of weekly conversations about what it takes to break through the barrier of “impossible” and set new standards for human limitation. Pretty Sure I Can Fly is like going to history class, except your teachers are actor, stuntman, and outlaw radio DJ Johnny Knoxville and long-time This American Life contributor Elna Baker. And each week they bring a new guest to tell you all about how they “grabbed the bull by the bunglesteen” or “really hogwrenched that spatooly.”

"Larry David"
We go in the weeds with Larry David on critical items: dinner parties, romance novels, The Golden Rule, Halloween… and we unsuccessfully debut our new Speed Round format. “He’d rather be doing nothing than talking to us,” on an all-new SmartLess. We love you.
Also, our friends Johnny Knoxville and Elna Baker stop by to talk about their new SmartLess Media podcast, "Pretty Sure I Can Fly," celebrating unsung heroes who achieve incredible feats by “having more balls than a bowling alley.” Listen to Pretty Sure I Can Fly: Wondery.fm/PSICF

Watch out, folks— it’s Don Cheadle, a.k.a. “Donchalant.” What is Jazz? Did Don have a good slumber last night? Get ready for some hard-hitters, like a deadly mignonette, the most rarified air, and both Kansas Cities. From our lips to pods’ ears, it’s an all-new SmartLess.

Customer Reviews
This podcast is everything & more!
I deal with high anxiety, especially when driving and this podcast has saved me numerous times! I pop this on in the car and it honestly is so funny, relaxing and makes you feel like you’re listening to a conversation from mates. The conversations always flow, they’re always funny, and the guest stars they have on there are so varied!
Usually great
I love this show, however the Killers show was embarrassing and a disappointment. I love The Killers and was really looking forward to it, but they could barely get a word in edgewise. Will, how about sometimes you just let the guest tell the story? Jeez! Otherwise love you guys
Great listen, could be better
As a huge fan of both Arrested Development I started listening to this podcast as soon as it was annouced. I've been enjoing this podcast for years, the interviews are quite in-depth, all of the hosts (mostly) do their due dilligence with their guests when it is their turn and it can be hilarious at times. Getting an insight behind the scenes of my favourite movies and TV show is exciting and very informative.
However, Smartless is also the reason I don't listen to podcasts with more than one host. Listening to three people interview one person, talk over each other and sometimes not all the guest to finish their thought/answer is very frustrating; I knew they may not do this on purpose but it creates a very foul listening experience. The former seems to happening the more I listen.
