It's one of the best/funniest podcasts I've ever listened to! Jason, Sean, and Will mesh so well together, all while bringing a unique and diverse personality trait to the show... Sean is the emotional (sensitive) one. Jason is the serious (analytical) one. Will is the comedic (uplifting) one. Together, they can make you love, laugh, and cry all within one episode. 15 years before Smartless first aired, these 3 met and ended up developing a friendship over those years leading to their success!
