- Hello SmartLess, my old friend- we’ve come to talk with you again. We’ve got diamonds on the soles of our pod this week, baby angels; It’s Paul Simon. And when it comes to name-drops, in Paul’s words: “I can give you John Lennon, but I can not give you Mao Zedong.”

Gentlemen, all four of you have truly given us a gift with this conversation - thank you!
What a great "get"!! A legend for sure... Awesome interview!!! ✨❤️😁
This is when Smartless is at its best, IMO! I got so much from this! I'm a musician and huge Paul Simon fan. Listening to him talk about an octave being divided into 42 micro tones is well music to my ears. Also, about dissonant tones not having to sound displeasing, especially describing church bells in the distance. This is gold. I wish we could have had more! And yes, why hasn't he scored more films? I look forward to the possibility of him doing more of that!
Lastly, Paul seemed more relaxed than he has in most interviews. I think podcasts are a better medium for him, and the three of you made it pretty perfect.
Love you guys and love Paul Simon! Great episode 👏 👌🏾 👍🏽
äåäåää
Such a genuine artist who comes across as someone I would love to sit next to at a baseball game.
I am overjoyed by Paul Simon and thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! ❤
This interview is EXCELLENT! Love it!
Wow I will listen to this one over and over! Thank you!
Hearing Paul Simon talk about the pleasing/emotional effect of say, churchbells in the distance, & that there is some kind of 'call' in that which we respond to takes me right to Train In The Distance.. he imbued that quality so perfectly, so beautifully in a song written decades ago -- and here he is, still hung up on it ❤ He is truly a beautiful thinker
Like actually. Paul Simon needs more forum. Music nerds... he tied music to comedy.
Bob & Ray… what a great call back to a fantastic comedy team. Good call Paul.
Coffee, dab, Smartless.. Yes.
Great show! I used to laugh at Bob and Ray too! I loved the name dropping section!
I can no longer listen to “Sound of Silence” without thinking of Arrested Development. . . Those scenes were hysterical
@ Jason Bateman , I’ve loved everything you’ve ever done . I’ve watched it all , and I love you’re sister too , thanks for being a constant .
And take a dang college course on anything you’re interested in you’ll love it and you can do it wherever you are ! Just take online classes . Start with one or two !
It’s addictive . There is a never ending catalogue of interesting things to learn . It’s nothing like high school . It’s way better
Intresting insight into the performer.
😊
Best interview ever!!!! Loved this! Thank you, boys
Will arnett from the start geez , my fiancé literally knows every single word to bojack horsemen like we watch the episodes and she’ll literally be like “ good morning sun good morning trees good morning busy buzzy bees. Good morning sarah lynn , good to see you sarah lynn the tulips and chrysanthemums are really coming in”. And yes she had to help me write that. But yes great voice and acting like she watches your cop show and she just started on arrested development… finished it in two days. And is rewatching it now. She gets your humor on another level like she is so into bojack deep and then now she likes just watching things with you in it! So thanks man and if your ever doing a podcast on February 19th can u say happy bday Theresa If you have time! She said thanks and yeah it was nice while it lasted !!!- bojack quote
The Boxer was my first favorite song too- must have been about 6 or 7.
Interesting, funny, cathartic. Thanks guys!!!!!
Wow Paul Simon amazing job guys
I just listened to this podcast , it was so good !
@ Will Arnett , I discovered in the past few years doing my ancestry that 1/4 of my family tree are French Canadian settlers that settled the Catholic St Louis everything . The stories are Insane ! Why haven’t these stories been told ?
One of my Grandparent couples are the Grandparent’s of Marie Laveau , a mother superior who did the first exorcism in Canada Marie Barbier , and at least 2 Prime ministers ! Their other son was murdered trying to claim Texas for St Louis . His son was the first child born ( white European ) in Texas , first Europeans married in Texas , and they were all murdered by natives in Texas .
I feel like Canada has been holding out on me !
There names are Gilbert and Mari Catherine De Lavau . There’s a portrait of their daughter and son in law in Notre Dame Cathedral there in Canada . Toussaint Beaudry !
This story is amazing ! Why are you all holding out on us ?
My dad was a huge S&G fan. He would have loved this interview. Good job gentlemen.
I can't believe three comedians in the same room not knowing giants like Bob and Ray! (Now that I think of it, I can believe it.)
Wow.... talk about time well spent... holy sh*t there should be some kind of podcasting awards... this was a Grammy.
With all the horror in the world, this was absolutely wonderful.
This was a real bridge over troubled waters...

Hail hail Sir Paul Simon 💙💜
I absolutely loved this moment with Paul Simon, thank you! Every time I discover new things about great people in what seems at first like simple banter.
Something Paul said about not thinking about the audience (relating to Miley Cyrus) when he was on stage, and rather concentrating on the musicians made me pause. Of course it’s easier for him to be able to concentrate to what he’s doing, he’s an older experienced white guy who hasn’t been groomed to be a girl star at a really young age. It makes a huge difference on how you relate to the world. A lot of women when they age decide to take a step back from the people pleasing situations they were conditioned to be in. It’s a whole process to go back to respecting our authentic selves with our true boundaries as women. I hope Paul Simon wasn’t comparing himself to Miley and just bounced back on her experience of touring to talk about his own… Still, I found it a bit unaware.
Love the show. Great dynamics and interaction between the three of you and with your guest. Only thing I think that nags at me with each episode is when you talk about your single listener single. And about how humble you are that they would listen to you…..yeah maybe it’s that they’re tuning in because of your guest……
I was crying laughing. Great
I’ve been sleeping on the roof of my building
It’s cooler than the street
Edie Brickell Good Times is a great song.
And Sean Hayes , I love you in The three stooges ! I’m from Illinois , I’ll bet you didn’t know we were settled by Canadians either ! Blame will please , I tho k he’s holding out on us !
Can’t believe none of them had heard of Bob & Ray
Even though vexed by some truly cringeworthy host quotes, Paul Simon's exceptional coolness had me feelin' groovy. Paul's Graceland masterpiece was my main divorce jam,,,,, "she comes back to tell me she's gone, as if I didn't know this, as if I didn't know my own bed, as if I never noticed, the way she brushed her hair from her forehead, and she said losing love is like a window in your heart, well everybody sees you're blown apart, everybody sees the wind blow, I'm going to Graceland.... I have a reason to believe we ALL will be received in Graceland". His next record, The Rhythm of the Saints, is just as good in its own sort of mystical Amazonian way! "and all of these spirit voices ruled the night",,, awesome. Get 'em both now! Our limited supply is very nearly gone!
Bye... don't share this much on YT. It's 2023. Graceland though... you been? It's better than marketed. Elvis was a rare human. The squash court with the lounge is lost in time.
Bob from Bob and Ray is the father of Chris Elliot.
I was in my car screaming at the fact that they probably all know Chris Elliot!!!😮
The man under the seats.
Yeah, kind of surprising (and disappointing) that these three had never heard of Bob and Ray before, when they are essentially doing what Bob and Ray mastered years ago.
Paul Simon is a comedy nerd. This is what I learned.
Lol Jason… again, “how do you music?”
Great listen but Sean, you have that SNL sketch backwards. The sketch has all these strangers and normal people coming up to Paul on the street and he remembers everyone, (paraphrasing) ‘yeah you were at the concert in the park, you were sitting in a plaid blanket under an elm tree, you changed your hair’…this keeps happening with comedic levels of accuracy and then at the end the real Garfunkel walks up and he has no idea who he is :) 18:10
Bateman! Interruption at 30 min. was out of line.
Was there an edit?
Why did I just see a phone commercial with Sean and Jason in it. No will ..Will I hope your on their case about it ,them 2 simply could of said we are not doing this commercial without will and the 🍎 people would of said ok
Great Ep, solid convo with Paul Simon… although you not naming the names of shows was a little too precocious 🤮
