If you don't know, Smartless is a pod that came out over COVID and features Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. It started as a fun hour-long interview with random celebrities asking fun questions, but they've slowly started getting political. It's in the top 5-8 most listened to pod in the US.

They've had Hillary, AOC, Maddow, Biden, and yesterday they dropped a pod where they got to interview Biden, Obama, and Clinton. Not once have they had even a centrist on.

It sat in my inbox for hours but i just couldn't take it, so I gave it a listen.

I like to listen to how the other side thinks and how they try to rationalize things. But wow, I don't think I can watch Jason Bateman after this one.

He spent most of the interview turning everything to Trump saying how America must do everything in its power to not elect this mad man.

A few Cliffs- Can't make this up, this was really said. Just crazy how the other half think.

- All 3 said Biden is such an inspiration and they can't thank him enough for what he's done for this country
- They all said what he's done controlling inflation has been remarkable and no other President could have done that.
- Kept thanking him for adding the most jobs of any President
- Bateman kept coming back to its dumbfounding to him how anyone can watch news other than MSNBC knowing they're being lied to. Biden said MSNBC is the only network that just tells the truth and doesn't give opinion.
- Biden says everywhere he goes every foreign power begs him that the world cannot take another Trump presidency and they world will end if he's elected.

I went from laughing to angry as you could tell how much they hate Trump and its supporters. Bateman even said there is no way that many people voted for Trump, and he doesn't believe the numbers.

Honestly it sounded desperate and unprofessional. They said Biden invited them to interview them so he's obviously feeling the heat.

FYI, Obama was leaps and bounds the best interviewer and always brought the conversation back to the middle and even praised Bush for his humanitarian effort and said the country needs to meet in the middle and work together vs fighting. He said even the left has done many things wrong. He was by far the least accusatory on Trump and didn't participate in the dog pile.

It’s truly an alternate universe. These aren’t disagreements over governance and policy. Common aims with differing visions of how to accomplish them, based on various shades of interpretation of human nature.

No. Those days are gone.

This is unreality. True early/mid-20th century mind-F totalitarian shite. Orwellian to the core.

"Smartless"? As in, without any intelligence?
Like "Toothless"?
Sounds aptly named.

Jason Bateman, and I swear this isn’t sour grapes, comes off as surprisingly low IQ.

I’m a fan of all 3. And while goofy, the other 2 guys seem thoughtful and sometimes have something profound to say.

Bateman comes off as a retarded golden retriever half the time and a miserable prick the other half. And he almost never has anything impressive to say.

That's what his script told him to do.

That's what his gang of criminal thugs is paid to do. Plausible deniability till the cows come home.

I can't wait to see that fraud's legacy in ashes.

I listened one time and they had Micheal Moore on.

They spent 30 minutes talking about how they have just as many guns per capita in Canada as in America but Canada has very low gun violence.

They discussed this for 30 minutes and could not come up with the answer.

For any libs who are also smartless reading this it’s because Canada doesn’t have a large population of black people.

This sounds exactly like the Pod Save America bros. It’s scary how many “cool” upper middle class young white professionals think this way. It’s kind of the new NPR for under 40’s. 538 fits this mold as well as some of The Ringer’s stuff. Shitlib central.

Fortunately Rogan and Elon / X have emerged as a nice counterbalance. From 2018 to 2020 there was really no counter to this insanity.

The privileged and insulated have a profit motive to support the incompetent status quo because they are privileged and insulated. We are the ones who have to wade through the shite. It's theoretical to them, it's existential to us.

It could have been theoretical to me but I love the America I grew up believing in too much to have refrained from the red pill and took it thanks to Trump and some blue collar Wisconsin baws I befriended in 2024 / 15

Plus the vaccine would have been a mandatory no go zone for me even if I had stayed liberal / team Obama up until 2021.

My brother is a soy boy lib who gets sucked into this stuff. I wish he would follow some honest alt media libs like Greenwald, Tracey, Dore, Taibbi, Caitlin Johnstone, Chris Hedges, etc.

I'm not sure about that Smartless crew, but I'm actually sort of scared at how Kimmel and Colbert push the propaganda.

Bateman has been in Hollywood since he was a kid. No telling how many pedos he had to service to stay relevant.

Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel both went super woke at exactly the same time. Their former friend Adam Carolla stayed sane and they don't really hang out with him anymore. One time Bill made a crack about how Adam was probably "killing animals with Don Jr.".
