If we’re friends, you know that SmartLess celebrates its third birthday this month. And I think it’s safe to say that Jason, Will and Sean’s Covid baby has grown up to be the most successful toddler in the podcast game. As the self-appointed President of the Jason Bateman Fan Club, I’ve honestly been feeling a…
In case you hadn’t heard, I’m officially in my Jim Parsons era. We’re basically destined to be BFFs…We were born at the same hospital in Houston on March 24 (exactly 7 years apart) and both went on to graduate from the University of Houston.

I survived a close encounter of the Jason Bateman kind last Monday at the opening night of Good Night, Oscar on Broadway.

If you’ve been following my adventures, you know this weekend was essentially my Super Bowl. I may be utterly exhausted, but my heart is bursting with joy. And unlike the actual Super Bowl, everyone’s a winner. The weekend was such a whirlwind that it’s all starting to blur together and the individual stories from each…

T-minus 5 days until I hit the road to see Jason! Two years ago, I was planning to celebrate my 40th birthday in LA with a dear friend and an evening with Jason Bateman. ❤️ We had tickets to an Ozark event at the Dolby Theater with the cast of the show as the third…
