"J.J. Abrams"
We’re surprised and delighted this fine Monday… by Mr. J.J. Abrams. This wildly creative filmmaker and musician gives us an hour inside his brain. We’re humbled by his request to audition for SmartLess advertising reads, we’re warned not to go down the rabbit-hole of modular synthesis, and we learn the genesis of the term “blockbuster.” All of this while Sean wears his Tatooine hat to impress J.J. (who doesn’t even notice).

This episode of Smartless is sponsored by Google Book. So this may not surprise you. I have a lot of thoughts in my head. And my dream is to just blur them out and somehow get them down on paper because my brain works way faster than my hands. That's where Google Book comes in. It's a whole new kind of laptop. No more typing. You just talk and the rambler feature cleans up your arms and us and all the times you change your mind. Basically, it turns messy thoughts into tidy text. Visit googlebook.com for details. Available in select countries and languages to 18 plus users, check the responses for accuracy. Instagram team accounts have automatic protections on by default. Built in content settings for the content teams can see contact limits for who can contact them and time management tools like daily time limits and sleep mode. Teens are automatically placed into teen accounts. And teens under 16 will need a parent's permission to change any of these settings to be less strict. Instagram will continue adding built-in safety features to help create age-appropriate experiences. Learn more about teen accounts and Instagram's ongoing work to protect teens online at instagram.com/teenaccounts. It's finally that time of year. Maybe the weather is getting a little more crisp or you're just clocking it from all the pumpkins at the grocery store, which means the holidays are just around the corner. Amazon delivers joy with low prices on the gifts you want, even this early in the season. Get ahead of the season, shop early gifts, top picks, holiday decor, and advent calendars at low prices. Get ahead, start on holiday gifting with Amazon's low prices. Shop now at Amazon.com/holiday. Fall means cozy meals, game days, and an excuse to bring home something sweet. Whole Foods Market keeps the focus on flavor with no artificial sweeteners like sucralose, artificial colors like red dye number 40, or high fructose corn syrup store wide. For game day, grab made-in-house wings, frozen pizzas, and 365 brand chips and dips. Finished with limited time pumpkin blondies, apple brown butter cookies, or chocolate bourbon pecan pie.
