| 6/8/26 | "Jon Bernthal" | Retrieve your catcher’s glove— we caught Jon Bernthal. Deal with the judgement and all that shit later, control the burn on a 3-wick candle, hit every wall you can hit, and how to steal a turkey sandwich. Communication… what? It’s an all-new SmartLess. | — | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | "Bowen Yang" | Put a bee in your bonnet— it’s Bowen Yang. We hit the pillars: vibes, therapy, trade-winds, a silver fedora, and learning about Celine Dion. Because- life! On an all-new SmartLess. | — | ||||||

| 5/11/26 | "Kareem Rahma" | “How about medallions?” It’s Kareem Rahma. NYC stuff & the stuff of life… like sidewalk traffic, hang-out kids, and rickshaw guys. “Everybody get your own dessert,” on an all-new SmartLess. Hundo-P. | — | ||||||
