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)
