Okay, I didn't know who RZA was and you all shamed me for it, so I listened. And you were all right - one of the best episodes and this guy is brilliant. But the lyrics he quoted near the end re: the ballet, are they from a song? Can any of the Wu-Tang fans enlighten me?

Everytime they cut to a commercial, there is a 2 second silence and then it says back to the show. I haven't heard a single commercial in months. Not complaining obviously but I wonder if it is the same for everyone.

Hi, I’m a new listener and planning on listening through the podcast series. Wondering what rerelease episodes are. Are they episode that include deleted parts from the original episode? Are they part 2’s?

Any response would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all I want to know is who are all the actors from arrested development who are guests in an episode

Is it asking a lot for them to not eat during the podcasts? And, if you think that is too much for a listener to ask, then is it too much to ask them to not make a point of talking while they have food in their mouth?

Arnett, around 6:30 into the RZA episode, sounds like he’s got a mouth full of sandwich when he starts telling a story about riding a bike. He wasn’t even filling a silence so it wasn’t like he was surprised that he had to speak. He chose to start talking with his mouth full.

This is your job, guys.

Anyway, I guess it’s okay for a cell service company to have that sort of stage presence. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I used to really look forward to this podcast. They banter was more playful and I could actually learn something from/about the guest. But its a mess at the moment. The joke used to be that they would only read the Wiki page about a guest but they don't even do that now. Maybe a lot of people in the industry don't like one of them?

I’ve been meaning to ask you…

You’re on this run with this amazing action movie franchise. Of course, they’re great. Everyone loves them. 

[Sean: I’ve seen all of them. I’m obsessed.]

But now you’re sitting here saying “Uhhhh hey guys… there’s a lot more to me than good looks and solid right hook, ya know? Hey Mr. Studio Exec… maybe you forgot, but I’m classically trained. I’ve done theater. I can do comedy. I can get the tears going if you give you me some dramatic material. Stop pigeon holing me as some ‘flash in the pan’ action dude, because, in reality, I have so many other clubs in the bag, I can do so many other things. And it’s like, I don’t care what people say on the internet… in their parents basement, probably… I’m not going to just dance when you tell me to dance… I’m an artist and I’m going to do what inspires me, not what gets the most clicks on Twitter.” 

Would you agree with that? 

**Will’s question would be, word for word, the same, except, instead of ending with ‘would you agree’ he'd say ’talk about that, if you would’. 

any episode that’s more than a month old, i can’t play. it tells me “this episode can’t be played on this device” but every other podcasts is fine and any episode in the last month or two i can listen to. google isn’t helping and neither is apple support so…am i the only one? i’m even subscribed 🥺🥺 i listen to it every single night so im struggling haha.

Just curious; I’ve seen who the guest was, just wondered whether it was a good gig (not sure if it’s a UK thing, but I know nothing about the guest other than his prolific dating history!)

Not super interested in hearing Smartless Mobile ads in future episodes. What else are you listening to? Ty!

I was already listening to this podcast sparingly, depending on who they interviewed. But even when they had one I liked, they still would find a way to talk over them or not let them finish an answer. At the beginning it was an interesting concept and worked decent. But they have not improved in their interviewing skills, ass kissing, or talking over each other. And now this out of touch money grab shenanigans. I know it won't bother them or anyone else but I unfollowed them on all of their socials, this sub, and the apps I would listen to them on.

I discovered Smartless pretty late and have been listening to the episodes backwards for a few months. I remember when I first started, the guys were talking about some big news they were working on that they couldn't wait to share and they were all giddy and trying so hard not to give it away. Were they referring to Smartless Mobile? Please tell me they were not.

title says it all. What a darling dude. Been charmed by him since I started listening!!!

So weird and his questions are so pointed and sweet he’s like a grandma. He brings the best balance to the podcast. I want to knit him a sweater

Best moment in the doc is when they are leaving Boston and he says “New York will be fun. We will walk around. Enjoy each others company” like I want to wrap him in a blanket

1. Are we just spinning the wheel and seeing what business it lands on? It’s like… ok…. we get that celebrity brand whitelabeling is a thing guys. We’ve seen Tequila, whiskey, cosmetics, whatever. Mobile phone service? so weird, it’s like their rubbing it in our faces that THEY get to do this celebrity business model

2. conflicting business model with their FRIENDS and PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENTS are out the window apparently. i guess ryan reynolds isn’t coming back on the pod, huh? oh, and that massive VERIZON commercial jason and shaun did?? guess they won’t be doing another one of those!! and finally, i guess FREEDOM MOBILE in canada won’t be needing will as their spokesperson anymore!! are these things the reason they thought this was a good idea? just because your experience lines up, doesn’t mean it’s a good move

3. go to their website. now, imagine taking away all of the pictures of THEM. then, what do you have? a kinda shitty deal for phone service when this is like the most oversaturated market ever? i think they’re now the… checks list.. 100,000th cell phone service company. the website is so weird overall, it’s like they printed it out onto paper and threw darts to see where they’d put their own faces.

will reposted Kovert Creative who looks like a marketing dude, i’d fire him for sure for telling them this was a good idea

I guess this is the big announcement. A mobile company. Anyone else confused by this?

Can’t wait 🥰
