Every time Jason is in a movie I’m instantly interested in it. His sense of humor is the best, his deadpan is ridiculous and he has one of the best smiles in all of Hollywood. 🌻

[@thekatt...]

Agreed 💯

[@Eveonastick1]

Lol at his sitcoms

[@twatts1523]

OMG, every character he plays knocks my outta my chair!

[@suzieq390]

❤❤❤

[@neilbiggin]

We never miss one. Even if there is a duffer, it's acceptable with him being in it.

[@jakehendriksen2841]

44:45 Jason's character in *Arrested* is one of the most hilarious straight-man performances of all time. So much about the humor in that show reaches "the next level" because of his reactions. It doesn't hurt that he's reacting to legends.

[@AnthonyL0401]

It's even more fascinating how neurotic Jason Bateman is in real life... he is deathly afraid to gain an ounce of weight. He seems very OCD too. But he is fun to watch.

[@enteraqua]

I don't care for Gob

[@jaysunbrady]

Season 4 and 5 his acting is seriously amazing. I resound so many moments just to see him emote .

[@AnthonyL0401]

@@jaysunbrady I have been afraid to watch season 4 or season 5. Worth it beyond Bateman?

[@jaysunbrady]

@@AnthonyL0401 Not as good as the first 3 but still worth it (Portia looks weird though due to surgery)

[@MissMerp92]

"whoever's still alive...or not cancelled" 😂 love David & Jason. RIP to Jessica, she was an ✨icon✨

[@twatts1523]

Jason and Jessica together, could never get enough!

[@tobymcflurry258]

Jason Bateman is such a legend, whatever he is in i will watch

[@cableroyson9992]

2 shows in and you’ve made both guests seem like the funniest people ever. Bob Odenkirk and Jason Bateman are hilarious yet it seems like you bring out the best in them.

[@roarmalf]

"Pre or post Teen Wolf 2?" needs to be a staple interview question for Jason Bateman

[@dudestep]

It’s Teen Wolf Too. You should honestly be ashamed of yourself for this mistake.

[@dunlaja]

You two being such good friends came through so hard and that makes us all smile so much. Thanks for this, gents.

[@magnussassin]

"Keep doing Arrested Development until we run out of folks" - I would absolutely watch Michael Cera monologues haha

[@neilbiggin]

The Maeby Monologues, that's a twisted character, just imagine what became of her.

[@Feanaro5503]

Jason's hair is a modern day miracle

[@Mitth.Raw.Nurudo]

Dude I surprised myself because my immediate thought was “wow his hair looks great”

[@Feanaro5503]

And he doesn't even color it. I started getting grays at 35.@@Mitth.Raw.Nurudo

[@dielaughing73]

Im surprised he can pull it off so well

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

He should have a shampoo line 😂

[@scottimc72]

"That hair"

[@Carolina-4JC]

This David Cross kid is going places!

[@sweetjimmyt]

Because he's a superstar in a superstar machine, and he's takin' it to the stars.

[@amplethought]

He has potential, for sure. I don’t know who this Jason Bastleman is, but he reminds me of a cute girl I knew back in the 80’s. Can’t quite place it.

[@Albino_Scout]

He’s got the goods

[@southrules]

Was she hairy af

[@ArdFarkable]

Found Dana White's secret account

[@JaydevRaol]

Wow! I wasn't aware that David Cross started a podcast. This is awesome. Looking forward to more episodes and more awesome guests like this.

[@reds0l0cup50]

This would have been the first one if Bateman didn't get greedy!

[@Bittamin]

If will arnett was on this episode too, DIZZAMN this would’ve been even more wild

[@klg6917]

I saw david cross’s stand up like 2 years ago and it was sooooo bad. So awkward. Super uncomfortable. He was very political. I was really disappointed because I know him as Tobias and I LOVED Tobias and arrested development. I gotta watch more of his podcasts I’m curious to see if he’s the same as he was during his standup

[@jaydock1]

I love that these guys find Arrested Development as quotable and hilarious as we do lol

[@TheWisestWizards]

Jason's performance in the first three seasons of Arrested Development is the greatest comedy performance in all of television. Perfect casting.

[@jeremyr4964]

I wish more podcasts were this. Friends chatting with no particular agenda. Very few people can make it a regular conversation the way David does

[@Yourmission9]

This and Tosh Show are my new favorite comedic podcasts. And maybe I’ve been living under a rock but I never knew how funny Bateman is in person

[@CannataNFL]

Listen to Smartless

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

Still not as good as cumtown

[@williambell6611]

Tosh show…Tosh show…it’s Tosh show

[@southrules]

Smartless is contrived and pretty terrible

[@Tsureiki]

@@southrules Maybe I was just naïve in the beginning because I did genuinely like it at first, but when that tour "documentary" came out, it made it extremely obvious.

[@jesse7918]

This is comedic gold. David making Bateman laugh.....

[@ScramJamJohnson]

48:20 "Buster's gonna be all right! ...His left hand is missing."

[@seamusmccarthy7435]

That’s a great attitude, I don’t think I would be taking this so well.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Awesome - you guys are great together. “It’s going to be good…” is still used by our family.

[@superrose3609]

Another great episode. Hope to see the rest of the bluths as guests 😄

[@Bittamin]

Yes 🎉❤

[@cableroyson9992]

This is a great idea

[@Bebymeboo]

I’ll wish it too so that way we can double our odds. Anyone here a priest? I can do wishes but I’m not authorized to do prayers.

[@hankochai]

I loooove it when the Arrested cast members get together!!!

[@jatanjac]

Was screaming "HE IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT "!!! love to see you guys, now I want a rewatch podcast immediately 😨

[@CheapSlots]

The way the guests are able to get David and riff with him are great. Keep these coming Dave.

[@fukuuu]

New favorite podcast. You're the best David and the fact you have Bateman on is such a treat!

[@not-that-dre]

I didn’t know how much I needed these two to make a podcast together.

[@jaysunbrady]

Bateman has such a quick wit he's better than many stand ups out there. And Arnett is even better.

[@alexvoskanian3265]

This is the Bateman I’ve always known existed and I’m so happy to really seem it shine on this pod!

[@s_oh]

Love the reference too "it's going to be good" 😂

[@zina2435]

i found it heartwarming. you can tell he really loves that show haha

[@pootytang69]

Loved the discussion you guys had about the desire to assume a more positive world view for the sake of your children and being a positive influence - I often think about how all of us do this, we often maintain hope and a positive outlook for the sake of those around us, because we might fear if we don't show strength to face this life, that it might detract from their strength to face it. We often only find faith in anything through having it shared with others.

[@kenroht]

The newspaper reading doctor was a brain surgeon. I saw him in Silverlake all the time. Love you guys!

[@tempsitch5632]

Wonder if he knew the guy that jogged down the Sunset Strip backwards every day for years.

[@lacherylaivy]

This is my favorite kind of comedy! They are so funny! Love this!

[@plumcharlie]

great to see these two riff so effortlessly🔥🔥

[@k.c.simonsen2]

"Jason Bateman's a middle" was freaking hilarious

[@icetech6]

Thank you David! Jesus.. i totally blanked on the fact David and Jason did AD together... He was soo good as Tobias that i never saw him as david.. weird thing P.P.S. Just realized that's the same room they did D&D court in... Emily is the most perfect human....

[@BennettMats]

I literally do not associate David Cross with Tobias. I did the exact same thing.

[@bearursidae42069]

Blowing it out of the park great chemistry is crucial for any podcast to really riff and rizzle this is one of the better podcasts out there and as a fledgling production that's saying something

[@davidl9507]

Man its so awesome to hear two guys reference historical events, movies, people, songs, music groups, events and you're their age - and you can say 'I get that! for once in my life'

[@LincolnWorld]

I love that Jason was so happy and laughing at his own character from the show. "Have you ever recorded yourself". That bit. What a great conversation this whole thing was.

[@hesperiametal-usa834]

I love necesarry roughness! Watched it again recently. Great memories of that movie.

[@Jeremygeo]

I honestly thought he was joking when he 1st brought it up.

[@X9523-z3v]

I watched Air the other night. Jason did an amazing job in that. One of my favorite performances from him, for sure

[@lauderdale77]

This is great. Hilarious. Appreciate it.
