**Will Arnett** (1:20)
Now I can do anything.
I like my friends, I like my podcast, I like my Jason, I like my Sean, I like my SmartLess, I like everybody. Let's go, it's an all-new SmartLess.

**Sean P. Hayes** (1:51)
First of all, though, I would just like to say really fast, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.

**Kaley Cuoco** (1:57)
Oh, Will, happy birthday. Happy birthday dear Will Arnett.

**Will Arnett** (2:00)
Oh my gosh.

**Sean P. Hayes** (2:00)
Happy birthday to you. And it's on, may the fourth be with you.

**Will Arnett** (2:05)
No, which is one of my biggest regrets that somebody came up with that.

**Sean P. Hayes** (2:09)
I love, are you kidding?

**Will Arnett** (2:10)
It's the first time I've heard of it. It bums me out, no, because it just, it's just completely, you know, taken my birthday hostage forever.

**Sean P. Hayes** (2:17)
Well, not for me.

**Jason Bateman** (2:18)
It's, you're lucky you're not born on the, on 420, right? Isn't that the, would all the kids like to smoke their weed on the 420?

**Will Arnett** (2:27)
Hey, man, I've been, I've been looking for ways for you to sound older. And I think we just found it. You know what I mean?

**Jason Bateman** (2:34)
How about this? Does this sound?

**Will Arnett** (2:39)
How about? It's also, but Jason, for you and me, it's also more importantly, it's Cinco de Quatro.

**Jason Bateman** (2:46)
It's Cinco de Quatro, very big day in the, people that know about Arrested.

**Will Arnett** (2:52)
In the Arrested Development Canon, Sean, so thank you.

**Jason Bateman** (2:54)
Sean, thank you for following the show. Speaking of Sean, let's take a moment to celebrate Sean's Tony Award nomination.

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:01)
I know.

**Jason Bateman** (3:02)
Don't wave it away, it's a big deal.

**Will Arnett** (3:04)
Yup.

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:04)
Thank you.

**Jason Bateman** (3:05)
And very well deserved. Good lord, is that show good? Again, just to repeat, anybody going through the Tri-State area, stop in New York City, it's a fun town, and there's a great show there called, What's the theater? Good Night Oscar at the Belasco Theater. Some people call it Tabasco, but that's just so they can remember it.

**Will Arnett** (3:24)
Jason, do you know what the Tony Awards are short for? Do you know what the actual name of the award is?

**Jason Bateman** (3:28)
Anthony's?

**Will Arnett** (3:29)
Closed, no. Sean, you know, right?

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:32)
Antoinette.

**Will Arnett** (3:33)
Antoinette Perry Award.

**Jason Bateman** (3:35)
Really?

**Will Arnett** (3:36)
Yeah.

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:36)
Yeah.

**Jason Bateman** (3:37)
And you know, listener, are you shocked as me at how smart Will every once in a while is? I am.
You'd also be shocked to know that he's actually 67 today.

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:48)
And he looks fantastic. He does have a, you do have like an endless well of just knowledge and stuff.

**Will Arnett** (3:54)
I got a lot of time. I got a lot of time on my hands.

**Sean P. Hayes** (3:57)
Clearly.

**Will Arnett** (3:59)
Jason, I said to Jason yesterday, I said, hey, do you want to read this thing that I just wrote? And he said, please don't, please don't.

**Jason Bateman** (4:05)
No, he said, he said, oh, I'm gonna send you that script. I said, please don't. He says, what do you mean? I go, I don't even read my own texts.
He's like, well, thank you for your honesty. I just thought, you know, it's just a fun script. I said, there's nothing fun about reading.

**Will Arnett** (4:19)
He did say that.

**Jason Bateman** (4:20)
Yeah, my parents really screwed me. Now I'm watching Sean there, itch his eye.
