Chapter 1: What humorous age guessing game do the hosts play?
Well, good day. Good day. Guess my age. 59. 59? 62. What the hell?
No, but be real.
No, really. Actually, what are you? I'm 57. I think you're 50. You've always been a year younger, right? Yeah. Are you still, or did you pass me? No, no, no. It looks like you. I think you passed me. What? Yeah.
Oh, God, this backfired so much. Welcome to Smart List. Shit.
Hi, guys. Hi. Oh, hi. Where are you going? I'm just finishing up a text here and sending. Okay. Oh, wonderful. Oh, good, good, good, good. Now I'm back with you. I'm glad you could come today.
And JB, we're having a little bit of an earlier start today. So I'm imagining your morning, because I know you bake in two hours, baseball season is on. Yeah. So you're active on the trade front. You're managing your various leagues.
Well, I've fast-forwarded through the final six innings of last night's game. Right. You tape the games? Every night. Every one of them. And he watches them at like 5 a.m. Why don't you watch them live? Well, I just don't get them done before I go to sleep. And so I finish them up the next morning. It helps me get out of bed.

Chapter 2: How does Nick Kroll manage his morning routine?
I've got the rest of the game to watch. That's a reason to wake up in the morning.
Okay, so let me ask you a question. Do you fast forward in between each play?
Yeah, I wait until at least one runner's on base. Preferably, I like to get somebody to get to second base before I go to... I watch Wheel of Fortune the same way.
Not even kidding. I'll fast forward through the picking of the letters until they get the puzzle kind of halfway done. Until it's something that you can figure out. Yeah, exactly.
Sean, does anybody ever get one, guess one so early that you just, it surprises you so much that you have a mistake with the canned cheese? Like, does it go all over your hand at that point?
Sure.
Or do you ever like point it to your temple like if you're trying to kill yourself, you know, and you just squeeze it all over the side of your face? Like what is it called? Cheese whiz?
Yeah, that's it. So JB, so I know JB does a bacon. So he bakes in the time. So bacon is Dodger game speed through, right?
And then as soon as it's over and not before, I then go to my scores, my points, how many points I've accrued on my fantasy baseball. Coffee is accompanying all of this. Coffee is very first. Very first. I need to light the fuse. Sure. And it's a long fuse, so it needs time to burn down into the dynamite.

Chapter 3: What insights does Nick Kroll share about his career journey?
Yeah. So that takes you—and the gum is as good as it sounds? Sorry, just checking real quick. So you're... How long does it take you usually to do those three things? 20 minutes?
It depends because the way we play it is the winner from the day before picks the starter word that you have to use for all three boards the next day. Oh, they really mixed it up.
Yeah. So wait, what happens? Yesterday's winner picks the starter word.
The starter word that you have to use on all three boards the next day. Oh, really?
Yeah.
So today's word was sadly. Uh-huh. Yeah, they always get you with an L-Y. And certain people will pick dicky words to fuck you over, and it fucks themselves over, too. Sure.
And a dicky word would be something that doesn't really provide a lot of vowels or a lot of consonants.
On Easter, our pal put in bunny. Sure. Okay? From the night before. It's festive. It's festive, but B-U-N-N-Y is a desert when it comes to that game.
Yeah.

Chapter 4: How does Nick Kroll describe his creative process?
And you do one of the, sort of a face shield, one of those droopy masks to keep the sun off your skin.
No, I've got pharmacy, like Florida sunglasses you can put over your glasses, fool around. Okay? I got Walkman headphones.
Any sort of reflective material on your back so you don't get run over? No. Full sleeves.
Full sleeves. You know, lots of waves.
Wait a minute.
Speaking of walking less. Yeah. But to wrap it up, I think that's the way because I feel like it was starting.
Why don't you try meditation? Have you ever tried meditation? I have. I'd like to do it more. Or just shutting the fuck up. Do you ever try that? How about that? Let's get to the guests. Thank you, Sean. What do you got for us today?
Wait, really quick. Did I go on too much? No, you didn't. Last night I was walking and I ran into, you know what a bollard is? one of those cement stoppers at the end of a street or a sidewalk. And it was like, oh God, I remember.
You walked into it?

Oh, he's going to take it down.
Kroll.
I have not spoken yet today, and I'm listening to my voice, and that was like the first thing I've said all day.
Hey, boys. Wouldn't it be amazing if we all had a word limit each day? Yeah, for you it would be, yeah. Hey, but could you imagine if you had to budget out your words for the day? That would be pretty interesting.
That would be cool. Boy, you come up with some fun ideas.
Sure.
Nick, you are East Coast because you've already got a smart-looking jacket on.
I'm on the West Coast. I was debating on taking the jacket off before, but I'm dealing with what you guys are seeing is this center stage video where I'm going to be constantly— Oh, yeah.
Oh, look at that. You can turn that off. You can turn it off if you want.

And we were doing a duet. It was a Bette Midler and Barry Manilow thing, and they had us play for a few minutes.
Who played Bette, right, right. No, but you were so kind, and I immediately felt this rhythm with you, and I was like, oh, I'd love to get to know you more.
Here we go. Fucking, this is unbelievable. Every time I felt a connection with you. Let me put your number in the chat. Fucking, are you joking? Come on the pod.
You should come on the pod sometime.

Douche was... Oh, come at me, bro. It was that sort of... That guy.
No, but wait. No, but wait. Do douche from Sausage Party.
Okay, so wait. So Douche from Sausage Party, that's the Rogan movie, and I did the whole thing as sort of a British villain, like the classic Disney British Jafar kind of... voice and then, or like a scar from Lion King. And it just wasn't working. And we did one last record where they rewrote it as that character was kind of a, this character did Bobby Bottle Service, who was kind of, yeah.
I remember Bobby Bottle Service. Wait, Nick, you did your, you did, Nick, you did your series on Netflix. Big Mouth? Big mouth. Yeah. So we got to clear the air on this.
