Sean Hayes (0:06)

Good morning from both coasts. Oh, we're recording from both coasts. Jason's still in New York City.

Will Arnett (0:11)

Sean, are we going to take a look at the weather first, or are we going to get right down to the news?

Sean Hayes (0:14)

Yeah, we're going to take a look at the weather before we get into the feel good piece. You know, we're going to look at the weather.

Jason Bateman (0:18)

Traffic on the threes.

Sean Hayes (0:19)

We're going to look at the weather right after this wonderful episode of SmartLess.

Will Arnett (0:24)

Let's go.

Jason Bateman (0:24)

Welcome.

Sean Hayes (0:42)

Good morning, everybody.

Will Arnett (0:44)

Oh, hi Sean. Sorry, you're about to launch into something?

Sean Hayes (0:46)

No.

Will Arnett (0:47)

He's like, good morning, everybody.

Jason Bateman (0:49)

Remember when Sean used to have a bunch of talking points prepared for the coffee chat?

Sean Hayes (0:53)

I always do. I have them today if you want.

Jason Bateman (0:55)

Do you really? Yeah. Do you have it written down on a piece of paper?

Sean Hayes (0:58)

I jot it down, a couple of things that happened.

Will Arnett (1:01)

Does Nick do it?

Sean Hayes (1:02)

No, I do it.

Will Arnett (1:04)

Huh.

Sean Hayes (1:04)

Just right before we sign on.

Jason Bateman (1:06)

Does Scotty ever recommend or suggest, hey, you know what would be fun for you guys to talk about?

Sean Hayes (1:12)

No, not really, no.

Jason Bateman (1:14)

All right, so what are the hot topics today?

Will Arnett (1:16)

Yeah, let's go for a hot topic for Sean.

Jason Bateman (1:17)

Well, what do you got down there?

Sean Hayes (1:19)

So my sister was here, you know.

Jason Bateman (1:21)

Yeah, the Tracy, listener, the Tracy not only exists, but she had a little stay at Seanie's house.

Sean Hayes (1:29)

Yeah, and Jay, you called and she talked to you and you talked to her.

Jason Bateman (1:31)

And you two were spooning, right? I mean like-

Sean Hayes (1:34)

Spooning in bed.

Jason Bateman (1:35)

Yeah, Scotty was out.

Sean Hayes (1:36)

There's nothing weird about that.

Jason Bateman (1:38)

No, you guys were cuddling.

Will Arnett (1:41)

That's fine.

Sean Hayes (1:41)

Yeah.

Jason Bateman (1:43)

That's fine.

Will Arnett (1:44)

We could use, you know what? We could use more cuddling in this world.

Jason Bateman (1:47)

We could, and maybe a little less gum, you know.

Sean Hayes (1:50)

Yeah. Fuck.

Jason Bateman (1:57)

Every show. I know it's hard to remember because, you know, we do these like a week apart and then you forget a lot in six days. It's difficult.

Is there like a nicotine cream? What about if you found like a cream? You could just put on your shoulders or something.

Sean Hayes (2:12)

What about, yeah, yeah. Is it like testosterone cream?

Jason Bateman (2:17)

Yeah.

Sean Hayes (2:18)

That I've read about.

Jason Bateman (2:20)

Yeah. So I've heard about that too. Oh no. Yeah.

Sean Hayes (2:23)

Oh yeah. It's not working.

Jason Bateman (2:25)

It's not working. I need to do a few more clicks. So Seanny, hot topic.

Sean Hayes (2:30)

So Tracy was here and we watched the documentary. You guys got to see this. It's called Trust Me, The False Prophet.

Jason Bateman (2:35)

Wait, is this the one about the Mormon?

Will Arnett (2:37)

Oh, I heard about it. Yes. Somebody told me about it.

Sean Hayes (2:38)

Well, no, it's not about the Mormon. It's about the fundamentalist church of Latter-day Saints.

Jason Bateman (2:42)

Isn't that, is that not Mormonism?

Will Arnett (2:43)

Which is an extension of, it's an offshoot.

Sean Hayes (2:46)

Oh, I didn't know that. Oh yeah.

Jason Bateman (2:47)

So it's wild. So Sam Bateman, right?

Sean Hayes (2:50)

Yes, that's right. I thought of you.

Jason Bateman (2:52)

I'll bet you did.

Yeah. It's, I don't know.

Will Arnett (2:55)

Explain yourself, Jason.

Jason Bateman (2:57)

Yeah. I don't know if there's a relation there, but I would guess that there is. I mean, our family is, is out of Utah. So, I mean.

Sean Hayes (3:07)

No.

Will Arnett (3:08)

That was probably your first tip, I guess, huh? Was that what kind of got you going in that direction?

Jason Bateman (3:13)

I'm not an experienced investigator, but those are two hot leads. Name and location.

Will Arnett (3:18)

nothing gets past you, dude. It's unreal.

Sean Hayes (3:22)

Name and location. So, how is Sam doing, Jason?

Jason Bateman (3:29)

Yeah, I have not spoken to him for years. No, I have no idea.

Will Arnett (3:34)
