Smartless Podcast

in The Porch
Probably just a crazy theory boiling, but I noticed the PJ Twitter account follows the podcast account. Thought that was odd since no one from the band has been on. 
Then it had me thinking, I’m going to the Smartless show in Chicago the night before Ed plays there. They advertise a special guest every show. 
I feel like this is something Ed very much wouldn’t do right now and I sound like Charlie in the mailroom. Thought it was an exciting what if though. Maybe if anything the Smartless late show

    That would be cool. Certainly more likely to do Smartless than Joe Rogan Experience… funny seeing those pod titles next to each other.

    Based on the EV tour schedule you could also theorize that he pops in between NY and NJ shows. Would be an interesting cameo for sure. Also, did not realize what ticket prices were like for podcast events but :money:

    Are you just resisting the urge to sing Eddie's songs?

    Just now able to listen to the interview. So if I heard that right, Pearl Jam recorded some new songs already? Said while they were recoded Earthling in Watts Studio “the guys came down and did some Pearl Jam songs”

    I was confused by that too, but I think he meant Chad and Josh etc and that they even rehearsed some PJ songs.

    Kind of what I thought too. But I feel like he referred to specifically Pearl Jam as “the guys” a few times in the interview so I guess that’s what makes me think he actually did mean Pearl Jam

    I took it to mean he meant PJ also.

    He mentions Josh, so I took the guys as meaning Chad etc. And them jamming, and playing Pearl Jam songs (let me guess: Porch, and maybe even Not for You or Dirty Frank?)

    Seems more likely, than the guys in Pearl Jam flying down to LA "on a whim".

    That’s how I heard it, too. Figuring those guys live in LA so a pop in can happen easier than the other guys coming down from Seattle or Montana or wherever they live. They also have their own set up in Seattle so why go down there?

    That was gloriously cringeworthy.

    I interpreted it as well that PJ came down to Andrew’s studio. Sometimes a change of scenery or access to different resources can shake out some creativity. It clearly did for Ed and he has a full setup in his house. Also why bands record in different places all the time.

    Who knows maybe he had the guys down just to see the piano. :D

    Will could not stop fanboying - too funny. Granted none of us would have fared much better.

    But yeah way to pull out Hunger Strike, the first and keystone collaboration between Ed and his now deceased honorary big brother Chris. Good job Will!! Should have stuck to Daughter lyrics!!

    I thought he meant the guys from PJ. They were all in SoCal for Ohana, so I could see them popping over to the studio then. I feel like Ed mentioned PJ had recorded some songs with Watt in another interview, but can't recall.

    Yes, Ed talked in the MOJO interview about making the next PJ album with Watt. I understood his comments here to mean the PJ boys flew down to LA for recording sessions for that album.
