John Mayer Shares His New Dating Philosophy at ‘SmartLess Live’ Podcast Taping: ‘Vulnerability Is the Sh–‘

John Mayer was the mystery guest on the SiriusXM live recording of Jason Bateman, Will Arnett & Sean Hayes' 'SmartLess' podcast at Avalon Hollywood.

After Mayer said he’s a big fan of the “skip the wait” upgrade on the dating app Raya (shoot your shot, ladies), Bateman asked whether the musician is looking for something different now than he was 10 years ago. A lot of topics were covered during the live podcast recording, including Mayer’s experience trying his hand at stand-up comedy, his innate obsession with correct grammar and punctuation, and what musicians he would put in his dream band, dead or alive. “Alive,” Mayer deadpanned, before (literally) singing the praises of Eddie Vedder with a little impromptu take on Pearl Jam’s “Daughter.” He also offered up a medley of three of his songs: “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room,” followed by Hayes’ personal favorite “All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye,” and finally a sing-along of his breakthrough hit “No Such Thing.”
