When Elon Musk posted a video of himself arriving at Twitter HQ carrying a white sink along with the message “let that sink in!” It marked the end of a dramatic takeover. Musk had gone from Twitter critic to “Chief Twit” in the space of just a few months but his arrival didn’t put an end to questions about his motives. Musk had earned a reputation as a business maverick. From PayPal to Tesla to SpaceX, his name was synonymous with big, earth-shattering ideas. So, what did he want with a social media platform? And was this all really in the name of free speech...or was this all in the name of Elon Musk? 




From Wondery, the makers of WeCrashed and In God We Lust, comes the wild story of how the richest man alive took charge of the world’s “digital public square.”

Day bartender and Egyptian silk connoisseur Jon Stewart joins us for a chat. Comedian, writer, director, and television host, Jon shares so much with us, from the invention of the combustion engine to MC Hammer quotes. This is a man who knows how to think, knows how to talk, and knows his Judge Judy. Plus, Sean gets put in the penalty box!... on another arousing episode of SmartLess.

We are blessed to have Ken Burns sit down with us this week. Ken clears up the rumors about George Washington’s wooden teeth and teaches us how much sap it takes to make syrup... amongst other things like The Civil War, Baseball, and his upcoming series, Muhammed Ali. After all, history is “story” plus ‘hi.”

Actor and comedian Tiffany Haddish sits down with us on 'opportunity day.' She tells about growing up in South Central Los Angeles and her journey to the present, the transformative power of Roger Rabbit, her new grocery store project, and of course, the healing benefits of the soursop fruit. As lovers of stone fruit, it's time to add some soursop to the mix here at Camp SmartLess.

Our hombre Fred Armisen comes to us via satellite uplink on another extra-special episode in Podland, USA. The hijinks never end, with Will &amp; Sean making a documentary about Fred’s life from his actual childhood home, the dynamics of “the real wink,” and strategy-talk on getting to the right elevator at the doctor’s office. It’s a real whirlwind folks: take your omega-3 fatty acids.

Yo, folks– it’s Sean Penn. Humanitarian, actor, director, writer, and surfer, Sean Penn joins us for a chat and a smoke break.  We discuss his new film, his old films, and everything in between– like the world.  Plus Sean H. formally thanks our guest for teaching his educators how to pronounce his first name correctly. T.G.I.M!

We are blessed by our guest Octavia Spencer this week. Octavia is an Academy Award winning actor, producer, and author, and the first black actress to receive two consecutive Oscar noms. But we love her because she's an absolute joy to be around... and because her germ management skills are completely in-line with ours. Wipe down your surfaces &amp; seat-back buttons, recline and relax, because we're at cruising altitude here on Air SmartLess.

Formula One race car driver Daniel Ricciardo cruises through to talk with the gang, discussing everything from Daniel’s water weight management system to Jason’s night in a Monaco jail. Let’s access the fear today… oh yes, there’s the flavor.

We shred some serious pod this week with the raddest dude of all: Tony Hawk. Tony teaches the newbs proper parlance, tells us about his foundation The Skatepark Project, and discusses his relationship with his only neck-tie. This one goes out to Tony’s violin teacher.

We’re surprised and delighted this fine Monday… by Mr. J.J. Abrams. This wildly creative filmmaker and musician gives us an hour inside his brain. We’re humbled by his request to audition for SmartLess advertising reads, we’re warned not to go down the rabbit-hole of modular synthesis, and we learn the genesis of the term “blockbuster.” All of this while Sean wears his Tatooine hat to impress J.J. (who doesn’t even notice).

Joy Reid blesses us with her magical presence on this week’s episode of ChairPod SmartArm. Joy is host of MSNBC's "The ReidOut," and (this just in…) a wonderful human being too. Plus she likes all of Sean’s favorite content so it’s been a really rough weekend binging Star Trek and Zombie films, but phewww - we finally got this ep out before sunrise. Happy Monday, kiddos.

The super-handsome, ultra-talented, and mildly-funny Ryan Reynolds joins us this week on the show. We go deep with the double-R, from stocking shelves label-out, to vulnerability as a performer and business owner… while touching on his “humanitarian efforts” diving for Melo Melo pearls that he bedazzles his new line of toe-loop sandals with. It’s another naughty shipwreck on the S.S. SmartLess. Welcome aboard!
