3/21/22: Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood | SmartLess w/ Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett

[@d.shaver6102]

Jason Batemans stock just went through the roof with me, I have been obsessed with Radiohead for over 25 yrs and sounds like he is pretty obsessed as well. Radiohead in Ozark makes so much sense to me now and it worked perfectly in the scenes.

[@theradioactivepatient]

Is Radiohead in more than two scenes? I know of "Decks Dark" and "The Daily Mail," and I went searching for Season 4 Radiohead but can't find any.

[@janshalla]

Oui

[@lucykuo4871]

​@@theradioactivepatientas in Ozark, only those 2 scenes

[@brettbartletti7847]

“I literally listen to Beethoven, Mozart, and Radiohead, and that’s it.” -Jason Bateman. Hahahahaha. Fan girling.

[@Iam_diny]

I love you thom yorke♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@monsterenergymayonaise2222]

I can’t believe the frontman, thom yorke and guitarist jonny greenwood from my favorite band, radiohead did an interview with the person who voices bojack horseman, will arnett, from my favorite show, bojack horseman.

[@edwardduarte7393]

yep! I loved bojack. the content of bojack was so much bigger than the show led into.

[@monsterenergymayonaise2222]

@@edwardduarte7393 you could explain any plot of the episodes and it would fail to capture how amazing the show truly is.

[@luizspindola]

52:53 Dude.... They weren't satisfied with how Decks Dark was recorded?? It's literally one of the best Radiohead songs in terms of mixing, mastering and arranging.

[@YoSaffBridge93]

10:09 - 12:09 is probably one of the greatest moments in podcasting history

[@AB-wy7dr]

This was probably the best & well asked question I’ve ever heard in a TY interview and they completely fumble fu*ked it up right as Johnny was about to respond.

[@edwinharvey9752]

[@narrativasavulsas]

This is one of the best and only interviews with these guys on the internet. What an awesome hour of listening

[@101RadioheadCovers]

Definitely one of the Thom and Jonny interviews of all time.

[@galetinm]

Don't know what you're talking about. Thom and Jonny spoke about 2 minutes in total, out of an hour

[@zwsh89]

@@galetinm hey that’s still two more minutes than we usually get to hear these guys talk

[@seahorse714]

@@galetinmseriously. I wanted to yell at Jason to Shut up and let them talk. 😡

[@vickhs]

Now I'm gonna be disappointed if Radiohead doesn't show up one last time at the final season of Ozark. Jason struggling not to fangirl too much is cute and relatable lmao

[@londonlewis1268]

Oh my god! I love smartless and radiohead so much! Even my mother who is almost 50 years old loves radiohead AND smartless! This collab is amazing!!!

[@bryanfahey3144]

Well the guys in Radiohead are around 50 now…

[@danigoddess]

😅 Your mom was probably a Radiohead fan from the start. She's around their age

[@YoSaffBridge93]

What a beautiful way to discover a podcast! Thank you so much for this, could really feel the fanboyism in the best way possible

[@bryanfahey3144]

Great episode everyone! Honestly Decks Dark is my favorite track off AMSP

[@AmericanEnglishman]

Jason, at least you were able to speak. I would've been so flabbergasted that I would've just stared.

[@AB-wy7dr]

Enjoy 8 minutes of airline commercials, and the remaining 58 out of 66 minutes where Will Arnett asks a question, then attempts to answer his own question in 17 different ways, then allows 6 seconds for the actual answer from the person he’s asking the question to, which he interrupts in 2 second increments.

[@John.Christopher]

😂

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

Lmfao

[@seahorse714]

I get Jason was excited but let them answer the question. I want to hear Jonny and Thom!!

[@doncocor]

Yeah. Terrible interview. I had to quit cuz I was getting angry. "I did lots of investigation on wikipedia..." Jeez.

[@MissHeathen]

radiohead changed my life and i was already deep into film and music but at the time i loved film more but now i really don't know. thom yorke is big inspiration of mine.

[@RadioheadCentral]

Love Jason going full-on fanboy. Great conversation

[@danielismyname3727]

Congratulations to the Smartless Crew. What a dream come true!!

[@denisegomez3557]

We need cameras!! Please I’m dying!! Soooo good.

[@highviewbarbell]

At Bonnaroo 2012, Thom Yorkes eye being zoomed in on 12 tv screens while he was playing piano is still the trippiest thing I've ever seen. Everyone in the audience thought it was CGI or like an animated eye, and then he just leans back and we realize he was right up against that camera while playing. I was dosed outta my mind at the time but I bet if you can find that clip it really was that crazy

[@kevinvotaw2916]

and then he starts talking about how when he was going to festivals when he was younger he'd fall face first in the mud after doing a bunch of acid

[@YodasPapa]

That's "You and Whose Army" I think.

[@chubbysummers69]

Saw them on that tour around that time and remember that! Went with my younger brother still my favorite concert I’ve seen.

[@NoUploadJustComment]

Livestreamed it whilst sitting in a thunderstorm. Great great show.

[@danielismyname3727]

I was there! That version of videotape was magical, anyone who hasn't heard it really should I wish they would have kept the guitars in it.

[@H-Vox]

These guys with their long meandering questions, and then ribbing each other for it, never ceases to amuse me lol

[@jaykelley103]

Its unwatchable.

[@trotskyfunk]

to quote Norm Macdonald: “it’s called a conversation.”

[@c016smith52]

Really would love these to have video for every episodes, love the little clips!

[@BladeDoomer86]

How did i not hear about this podcast?? All star hosts, and now Radiohead? Geez, my heart can't take much more guys

[@uisato_]

Beautiful interview! Just found out about this podcast, and in the greatest way possible. Love every single one of you guys, keep it going! PS: I frickin' loved the outro song! Good work!

[@KolbyKirk]

Agreed! My love of Radiohead/The Smile lead me here. New fan of Smartless! Great work, Jason, Sean & Will.

[@luizspindola]

48:12 was definetly a highlight lol

[@KenyaWright]

Such an awesome podcast. I am truly grateful for this.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RustinChole]

7:32, “then there are other ones, like the one we released last week, You Will Never Work In Television Again was….” then Jason and Will interrupt, and we never find out what Thom was going to say about the construction of that track. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ Guys. C’mon. HOW do you talk over getting the answer to the question you asked? I enjoyed the podcast for the most part but christ man. You interrupt an answer, then ask a question that anyone who’s even dabbled in composition would know is an impossible, irrelevant question “so tell me about the first song you ever wrote.” Jason if you get Thom on again just do the interview yourself.

[@IndieBassJA26]

never got to hear what Thom and Jonny’s go to album was for this very reason…….

[@brettbartletti7847]

Because they fan girl on them. It’s beautiful to me. And funny.

[@RustinChole]

@@brettbartletti7847 see, that’s why I let my more socially apt friends lead the conversation when I come face to face with people like Thom or Johnny, cause as a musician myself, getting fan girled over is deeply flattering, but it also kinda kills any potential discourse, cause there’s isn’t really anywhere to go conversationally from that. I learned to save fan girling for the end of the conversation. If you ever meet someone who means more than you can express, talk to them like they’re just a person first, then at the end you can say how much they mean to you. Doing it the other way around …. I’ve had this experience with punk rock dudes, hip hop guys, indie rockers, authors, film makers, on all different levels of fame and acclaim, and going from fan girling to engaging in a conversation is effing IMPOSSIBLE. 9 times out of 10 anyways. (Also, they weren’t fan girling in the instance I mentioned, they were using it as a jumping board for making jokes, namely about Sean, cutting Thom’s explanation short).

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

How to disappear completely is one of the most important songs in the soundtrack of my life. Great conversation ❤

[@Guadeloop]

I can’t explain to you how fucking cool it is that Michael and Gob are geeking out over Radiohead

[@bryanfahey3144]

I remember when KID A came out with no lyrics on the artwork. They left it open to interpretation and even online websites had it wrong. Thin was singing through an egg carton on the title track!

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

“Ask them what their favorite color is afterwards” Omglmfao

Omg the Radiohead version of the intro song 😂😂😂 Perfection 🎯🎯🎯

Well done - You met radiohead - I’m stoked for you dude ! “Meeting people is easy “ Creep, came out on the radio too songs summer 1991? I learned I had a voice, on the prairies of Illinois - as I spent a month of that summer with my grandmother. I love Radiohead ! I feel absolutely the same, radiohead rocks the planet !- to present , the soundtracks of my lifetime. You all are pretty amazing people Thanks for sharing C

I was taking a sleep study, in 2010. I had a dream that Radiohead was playing a somewhat extreme metal song. It sounded so good.

Thank you for letting us know about the commercials.

[@SammyCee23]

Is there any other artist that comes close to Radiohead? Only ones I can think of are Bjork and Aphex Twin. Please someone!

[@quatzelkettel]

Black Midi is the first band in decades, maybe ever, that hits as hard creatively and sonically as Radiohead. First listen, they sounded like noise, but my mind insisted there was something there. Now, they just sound great. Listen to their two studio albums until that click happens for you, then watch their First Unitarian Church show from 2019 and Live from KEXP performance from 2021. KEXP is on From the Basement level. Cheers.
