Chapter 1: What snacks were enjoyed backstage at the live show?

0.031 - 7.179 Will Arnett

This episode of Smart List is brought to you in part by Skinny Pop popcorn, which, yes, is exactly what we were inhaling backstage at the live show.

True story. There is something very satisfying about a snack that actually delivers and doesn't come with a paragraph of ingredients.

12.785 - 17.371 Jason Bateman

Skinny Pop keeps it simple. Real ingredients, classic popcorn. Nothing weird, nothing you have to Google.

17.471 - 24.739 Will Arnett

The original is light and airy, but still hits the spot. And if you want to mix it up, they got white cheddar, butter, sweet and salty kettle.

24.719 - 30.54 Unknown

It's one of those snacks that works for anything. Watching something, traveling, pretending you're only going to have a handful.

31.604 - 45.126 Jason Bateman

Skinny Pop. Deliciously popped, perfectly salted, popular for a reason. This episode of Smart List is sponsored by Ashley, the brand that helped turn our live event stage into a fully styled living space.

45.146 - 52.775 Unknown

And it's not just about looks. Their stuff is built to hold up to the real life with durable materials and easy to clean fabric.

52.795 - 63.449 Will Arnett

For the live show, we were on their Mod Max sofa. It's modular, so you can kind of move it around however you want, depending on your space. Honestly, that setup worked perfectly for the show.

63.469 - 67.055 Jason Bateman

I'm not kidding. I would have taken that whole setup home. It looked great. It felt very comfortable.

Chapter 2: How did Jonah Hill feel about the introduction mishap?

401.535 - 402.537 Unknown

He's my guest. It is a he.

0

402.617 - 420.066 Jason Bateman

Wait, but wait. We never know. We truly never know who the guest is. Every once in a while, somebody who on our... Except for like the presidents of the United States. The presidents we knew. Yeah. But we really don't know, and so it's always a surprise. And we do never talk about what we're going to talk about.

420.407 - 443.992 Unknown

The difference with this, though, is that usually you guys, we guys, I don't do it, but you guys, when I bring on a guest, I see you guys typing on your computer, quickly Googling that person as soon as they come on. Not because they don't know it, but to come up with questions and stuff. You're not going to have that. That's fucking bullshit. No, it is bullshit. I don't do that.

0

444.072 - 445.114 Unknown

I see you typing away.

0

445.275 - 449.826 Will Arnett

Sean definitely does that. I do it, but if I don't know the person.

449.846 - 455.52 Jason Bateman

It's like if a sports person comes up. You just raw dog it? I do not do that. How dare you accuse me of that? What are you basing that on?

455.82 - 458.106 Unknown

No. Well, then what are you playing with when...

458.491 - 460.134 Jason Bateman

I'm messaging people, dude.

460.154 - 465.544 Unknown

I'm busy. Yes, you're just going to have to wing it with this fella.

Chapter 3: What does Jonah Hill miss about living in Los Angeles?

2825.597 - 2826.658 Unknown

People think you're shooting a sequel.

0

2827.058 - 2828.8 Jonah Hill

Yeah, it was just so bizarre, you know?

0

2828.96 - 2850.88 Unknown

It was trippy. But are you thinking, because you're... How old are you at that point? 20? 22. 22. So you're at an age... I don't think... I'm not Will. 22 or 23. So you're at an age where you're thinking about, okay, I need to have a job, a career. I need to be starting thinking five years, ten years in the future. I got to provide. I got to... So this is...

2850.86 - 2875.197 Jonah Hill

2875.48 - 2885.315 Jonah Hill

I am professionally funny, even at, like, 18 or 19, whatever. But I didn't, like, Superbad was, like, my dream. It was, like, what I wanted to see.

2885.615 - 2886.156 Unknown

Yeah. Right.

2886.176 - 2891.544 Jonah Hill

You know? So I was so stoked that Judd was in the position to make the kind of movies that he had.

2891.584 - 2897.954 Jason Bateman

Those films were being made. When Superbad comes out, you've got a pretty good idea that shit's working out. It's a huge hit.

2898.154 - 2905.547 Will Arnett

It was crazy. I'm going to watch that. And the comedy features were a huge business. Huh? I'm gonna watch it tonight. I mean, I've seen it, but I'm gonna watch it again.
