First off, let's start with a palate cleanser from The Dodo. These are very cute foxes.
Also tonight is the podcast SmartLess. My friend Chuck told me a year ago to start listening to it, and with me now having to walk a few miles every day, I finally started.
The podcast is a side project the actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett started two and a half years ago to get through the pandemic. The premise is simple; one of the three finds a guest, the other two do not know who it is, and they have a conversation. I've listened to about 40 of the episodes so far. Not all of them hit the target, but most of them are a riot.
My favorite part is hearing the three hosts bring up the entertainment industry to the guest and talk about it in terms that come across more like a factory gig than the sunny side of Hollywood. The Robert Downey Jr., Ron Howard, and Bryan Cranston episodes are great on that.
But the show has really gotten a lot of guests far bigger than just Hollywood talk. President Biden, Paul McCartney, Bono, and Stephen Spielberg have all been guests. Jason, Sean, and Will get them to open up and talk very openly about their lives and careers. It's good listening.
The George Clooney and Stephen Colbert episodes have moments where I was laughing uncontrollably.
There really isn't a video portion to this podcast, but I am going to post the Tom Hanks interview. He also is very interesting when he talks about the inner workings of Hollywood, but it's also Tom Hanks, who seems like one of the most approachable and level-headed people to ever come out of Hollywood. Enjoy.
Have a great weekend everyone. Get vaccinated and stay safe!
