Overview
- On the SmartLess podcast Monday, Jason Bateman asked whether Arnett ever 'pooed' in front of his ex‑wife, and Arnett replied that he "doesn’t talk about potty stuff" before saying "I refuse to answer that. It’s none of your f***ing business."
- Co‑host Sean Hayes and Bateman kept the conversation light and joking, with Bateman saying he and Hayes have farted in front of each other and noting Arnett does not share those habits.
- Arnett used the episode to praise Amanda Anka, saying he has spent time with her and calling her a close, thoughtful friend.
- Entertainment outlets including Us Weekly, Page Six and TheWrap ran same‑day accounts quoting the exchange and framed it as a quotable moment rather than a substantive revelation.
- There has been no public response from Amy Poehler and no further reporting beyond coverage of the podcast, leaving the episode framed as a contained item about privacy, co‑hosting banter and celebrity boundaries.
