Transcript

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Today's episode of Clueless is sponsored by Monopoly and their three brand new expansions which you can add onto your classic Monopoly board. To add new ways to play and to make the game shorter. All three are available now. Monopoly is a trademark of Hasbro Smart.

[Devin Tory Bryant]

Bless me.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Congratulations. You have won second prize in a beauty contest. It's even better than first prize because now you've got a goal to work towards. This is Clueless.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Clueless. Clueless. I'm Clueless.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very nice. Welcome to Smartless presents. Clueless, the puzzle podcast that only asks 15 minutes of your time and offers you so much in return. I'm your host, Elliot Kaelin. Or at least that's what my parents told me. Now, please welcome the man who thinks Community chest means everyone wants to see him take his shirt off, John Hayes.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Believe me that you talk about horror films, that would be a horror film. Not that you were talking about horror films. Guys. Thank you. Elliot, thank you for having me again. This is so, so much fun. I look forward to this every single time we do it because I love games, I love you, I love this show. I love everything about it, but I love even more than all of those things.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Is that possible? There's something you love more than those things.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Chocolate cake. And my husband, Scotty Eisnugle, who's here as well. Scotty, where are you?

[Sean Hayes]

Hi. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yes. What part of the of the city, in the town are you in? And where are you exactly right now?

[Sean Hayes]

I'm actually in the next room.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, that's spooky. That's very spooky. All right.

[Elliot Kaelin]

The idea of him being in the same house as you is. Is off center.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Very creepy and weird.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah. This is why we have the couple houses, you know.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, exactly.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Exactly.

[Sean Hayes]

You know, when you said love more than anything else, I thought you were going to say pop tarts, but.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, pop Chocolate right there. Snickers, too, and paydays and stuff like that.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Well, Scotty is quickly getting knocked out of the top five. That's disappointing. Yeah. Yep. Today's episode, it's about the world of Monopoly. Ooh, it's our special Monopoly episode. That's right. Monopoly. The game of wheeling and dealing and stealing from the bank when your friends are in the bathroom. So let's take the B and O railroad over to wherever B and O are for today's first cliffhanger puzzle. Now, without the make you wait for the answer feature. That's right. We're going to give you today's Cliffhanger puzzles. And then you'll get the answers today, thanks to the fine people at Monopoly. Now, to add even more Monopoly to this Monopoly episode, we have a selection of possible Monopoly trivia questions at our disposal. One each for each of the three new Monopoly expansion packs. Free Parking, Go to jail and buy everything. And also a question about the Monopoly tokens themselves and one about all the special edition boards that have been made over the years for Monopoly. To decide which of those various trivia question categories we'll be ask. I will have Sean spin the spinner from the free parking expansion set. Sean, I can't wait. Set that spinner spinning.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I haven't done this since college. There we go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Up. And it landed on Monopoly tokens. That will be the category for today's trivia question. Excellent spinning. Great spinning, Sean. Thank you.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Thank you.

[Sean Hayes]

Well done.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

It's all in the wrist.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Well spun. So today's first puzzle is a trivia question that goes thusly. Which of these has never been a token in the standard Monopoly game set? And your choices are T Rex. The T stands for Tyrannosaurus, Cannon, Goose or Sack of Money. Which of these has never been a token in the standard Monopoly set? Again, your choice starts T. Rex the dinosaur, not the band. Cannon, Goose or Sack of Money over the years.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Because, you know, I grew up playing it when they didn't have any of those, but I know they.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You had to make your own pieces out of corn cobs and acorns, things like that.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

And we actually had to purchase property with our own money. It was really. Yeah, it was really put us out.

[Elliot Kaelin]

With the legal script that came.

[Sean Hayes]

It was very real.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yeah. Wait, Scotty, I'm not going to say T. Rex because that's so absurd that it sounds like it is a real thing.

[Sean Hayes]

It is a real thing.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Right?

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I'm going to say Goose. Goose. Yeah. That was my instinct.

[Sean Hayes]

That was mine. Yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

All right, let's see. By order of Milburn Rich Uncle Pennybags, which, yes, is the Monopoly man's legal name. If you don't believe me, look up his birth certificate. It's on file. I shall reveal to you that you are correct. Yes, the answer is the goose. Monopoly has never had a goose shaped token. The canon was in the original 1935. The sack of money was voted for by the public and appeared in sets from the late 90s to 2007. Kind of on the nose for the public. Choose Sack of Money for Napoli. And T Rex was briefly introduced in 2017. I assume it's extinct. Now. Nice work. Very good reasoning.

[Sean Hayes]

All right. Nice, Nice.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

That's interesting. That's really. I love that kind of stuff. Yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Well, get ready. You're gonna learn more Monopoly stuff later in this episode.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Thank you to Monopoly for supporting today's episode.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Clueless listeners. Monopoly has created three new ways to play with expansions. You add on to your classic Monopoly set.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

If you want to own the whole board, the buy everything expansion lets you do just that. That's right. Every space on the board is up for grabs.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Go to jail. Buy it. Free parking. Yep, that too. And with the buy die, you get even more ways to win fast.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

If you're the kind of person who likes to press their luck like Elliot, the free parking jackpot expansion is your jam. Land on free parking, spin the wheel and boom. Cash in big. But don't get too comfortable because it's risky. One spin could have you rolling in money or losing it all. It's high stakes, fast, and definitely for the competitive players.

[Elliot Kaelin]

And if you're a mastermind who loves little chaos like Sean, the Go to Jail expansion is a game changer. Jail isn't a punishment. It's strategic. Bribe, steal and collect corruption cards to mess with your opponents. Turns out crime does pay, at least in Monopoly.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

So whether you're a risk taker, rule breaker, or money maker, Monopoly has three new expansion packs for you to explore. Pick your pack or grab all three and let the game get a whole lot more exciting.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Available now on Amazon. All is fair in Monopoly expansions.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Monopoly is a trademark of Hasbro.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Listeners. Did you get the answer right? If so, I give you permission to win money when you land on free parking. The rules say you can't, but you've earned it. Like, just go for it. Why not? Nobody's watching. But before you spend your ill gotten gains, let's play today's main game, which is called do not Pass Go.

[Devin Tory Bryant]

Do not Pass Go.

[Sean Hayes]

I can't wait. I can't wait for the Clueless album.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, it's going to be great.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I know. I love every song with the show gets longer and longer.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, there's no better song than the song that has copyright information in the song, just in case you have any questions about it. Yeah, well, any Monopoly player knows that passing Go is essential to staying alive in the game and possibly in real life too. So naturally, Clueless is here to make that a little difficult. To make sure that neither of you pass Go. I'm going to give you clues to guess a series of words and phrases that end with the letters G O. Remember, they always end in G O. You're not passing go because there's no letters after G O. There's no.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, I understand.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Never pass and go. The words end in go, the ones that you're going to guess so you don't have to.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

So it's before go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

The other letters go before go and then just stop go.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

During the instructions, you pass a kidney stone.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, yeah. Well, then I'll know from the scream. So, for instance, if the clue was Latin American ballroom dance, the answer would be tango.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Tango.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes, tango. Very good. You didn't say tangos, which is good because you got to stop. We would have passed the ghost.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

That's correct.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Guys, I cannot make this clear. You can't go past Geo. Just don't answer it. The player at the end with the most points wins. The player with the least points will go to super jail. From the Go to jail expansion pack now on store shelves for Monopoly.

[Devin Tory Bryant]

Do not pass go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

The first question, a company's symbol is its logo. Yes, logo. Very good. Number two, the windy city is Chicago.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Chicago.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Chicago. Very good. Another word for jargon is lingo. Oh, great. It's close to blue on the spectrum.

[Sean Hayes]

Indiegogo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. Sean got that one just right at the top. Okay. A pink waterfowl is a flamingo.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Flamingo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Ah, Scotty Van, your buddy in Spanish is your amigo amigo. Lottery style game with numbered balls is Bingo.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, nice.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. A crime comedy film by the Coen brothers.

[Sean Hayes]

Fargo.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, shoot. Right on the tip of my tongue.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Plastic building bricks to be mastered. Lego, that was. I think Sean got that first, which I should hope since he has a close friend who's involved with Lego things.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

He would actually hit me if I didn't get it.

[Elliot Kaelin]

He'd throw Legos at you. Yeah. Make something out of Legos and I hit you with it. Yeah. And this is number 10 for the end of the first round because we're doing multiple rounds. Number 10, the villain in Shakespeare's Othello.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, I know it. I know it.

[Elliot Kaelin]

I can give you a follow up clue if you need a follow clue.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yes, of course.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay. He's the sidekick bird in Aladdin.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, my God. Oh, God. I saw that in 1928. I can't remember.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yeah, I don't. I'm never gonna get this.

[Sean Hayes]

Hugo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

No, Hugo is a good guess because it ends in Geo, but it's wrong. The answer is Iago. Iago.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

All right. Iago.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Although I guess you could say the real villain in Othello is jealousy.

[Sean Hayes]

Hey.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, nice. Write that down, Elliot.

[Sean Hayes]

But it doesn't end in geo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Jealousy. Go. You're right. I'm ruining my own game. Okay, so tallying up, after 10 clues, the score is Sean has 1, 2, 3, 4. Scotty has 1, 2, 3, four, five, six. So Scotty is in the lead. Amazing. I mean, I don't sound as amazed. I'm sorry, Scotty. I shouldn't be so amazed with it.

[Sean Hayes]

I'm in the haunted hallway section of our apartment and I'm getting, you know, underestimated.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, no, no, but that's even better. It means that. It means that this is more of an exciting, dramatic comeback. Okay, moving on to round two. The rules are the same. Go. Don't go past it. The words end and go. The questions slightly trickier. Each answer is now worth two points. So any. The lead is only two points for Scotty from that last round. So Sean could easily erase it and move forward, or Scotty could take an even further lead. Let's see what happens. Okay, question number 11. Dizziness, vertigo. Oh, boy, that was so close. That was. That was neck and neck. I'm gonna give each of you two on that one tail of the tape, but we don't have it. Number 12, a chain of islands. Is an.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, God.

[Elliot Kaelin]

A chain of islands.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I don't know. I'm never going to get it.

[Sean Hayes]

I can hear the audience screaming at us right now.

[Elliot Kaelin]

They're screaming at you. The only clue I have for you is probably not going to be that helpful.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

What is it?

[Elliot Kaelin]

The word that's missing from the title of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's the Gulag.

[Sean Hayes]

Good Lord.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, sure.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It's the only association I have with that word.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

No, I have no idea.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Should we move on to the next one?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

All right. The answer was archipelago.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, yes. I didn't know that was a string of islands, but yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Oh, yeah, that's what it is. A string of islands. Question number 13. You guys will get this. A kind of ship or a kind of shorts?

[Sean Hayes]

Cargo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. A milk cheese similar to Parmesan.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, brie.

[Sean Hayes]

Go, cheddar, go.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I don't. I'm gonna know it, and I don't.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, I don't know either.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, the answer is Asiago. Asiago. Cheese. These are the tough ones. These are the 2.1, but you'll get this one.

[Sean Hayes]

Fair enough.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Manufacturer of camper vans.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Winnebago.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Oh, that's great. I feel like Scotty started first, but Sean finished. The word first, and then Scotty took longer to say the word, but Sean finished it.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

So we must have a delay because I feel like I'm getting all of these. Okay, go ahead.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Number 16. Island that forms a country with Trinidad.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Do we know it?

[Sean Hayes]

I'm going through my world knowledge.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You'll think about it. So they're often referred to as Trinidad and Trinigo.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Trinidad and Trinidad. Mom. No, I don't know geography.

[Sean Hayes]

Not my strong suit.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, you want me to tell you what it is?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, it is.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Tobago. Or Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

We don't got it. Wouldn't get it.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, well, how about this one? Question 17. Tree whose extract is often used as a memory supplement. Seems like you guys could use Prevaging.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Go. Oh, no, that's from Jellyfish Prevagen.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, I was thinking that, too.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yeah, a tree who supplements Osmus. Memory thing. Well, now we're never going to forget this answer.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Never. You'll remember it forever. It's an ancient tree. You see a lot of them in New York City. Would you like me to tell you the answer?

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yes, please.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Ginkgo. Ginkgo.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, Ginkgo bilobi.

[Sean Hayes]

Ginkgo Bilobi. Yes.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You know what you were thinking? Bilobago. Difficult.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

A trade ban is an embargo. Yes, very nice.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

God, you're fast.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You might order movie tickets from. That was beautiful to see. Scotty was in episode.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I May have pooped in my pants a little bit on that one.

[Elliot Kaelin]

I've never seen two people verbally scramble over each other that way. Like question 20, the final one for this round. Freud said that this part of the mind acts as our conscience.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Ego.

[Sean Hayes]

Ego.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You're both wrong. I apologize. Would you like another try at it? Because you're almost there.

[Sean Hayes]

Ego. Go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

If it's not just an ego, if it's even bigger and more powerful than an ego, it would be.

[Sean Hayes]

Superego.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes, superego. Very good, Scotty. There's the id, the ego and the superego. Very easy to confuse them because they've got almost the same name.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I was thinking of id, too. I was like, ido. Idgo. No. Okay.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Right after round two, let's tally up the score again.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Well, we don't have to do it. Scotty won. Ah, here we go.

[Sean Hayes]

Come on, let's go. Let's hear it. Let's hear it.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Just to say it officially, Sean has seven and Scotty has. Let's see, seven, nine, 48. 17.

[Sean Hayes]

48.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, 17. I'll take it. But just in case. You think we passed Go? I've got a rude awakening for you. We did not pass Go because it's time for the Mega Clue Mega clue question, which is going to be the hardest words and phrases ending in go yet. So there are fewer of them. Each one is worth five points. Get ready to give me some mega answers for the Mega clue as we Mega don't pass mega Go. So let's go for it. Okay, question 21. Russian novel made into a film starring Omar Sharif. You've got this one. I can see snipers.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, my God. I know it. Literally, my brain is on fire.

[Elliot Kaelin]

That's where the answer would be.

[Sean Hayes]

Yep.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Don't look in the other organs.

[Sean Hayes]

It's not in your lungs or the frozen turkey section.

[Elliot Kaelin]

I'm.

[Sean Hayes]

Dr. Zhivago.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes. Dr. Zhivago. Very good.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Wow.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good for you. Question 22. He's one of opera's famous three tenors.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes, Domingo. Very good, very good. Okay, 23. New Wave band founded by Danny Elfman, who wrote the theme to Weird Science.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Boingo Bongo.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good, Sean.

[Sean Hayes]

Yep.

[Elliot Kaelin]

24. A huge round of applause, as at the end of a play. This is a tricky one.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

It's like a standing O.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You got it, Sean. Standing O, yes.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, God.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

All right.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes. Carmen Sandiego.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Very good, Scotty. How did you get that?

[Elliot Kaelin]

That's 1-90s. Kids will know that is the end of the game. That was Fast and Furious. After three rounds, the final score is. Let's take a look. Let me add it up. 27. Scotty is 27 to Sean's 22. That's only one final round question away from. You know, that's a close game. That turned very.

[Sean Hayes]

That's close. Yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

So the winner is. Scotty. Scotty. I hope this is something you can lord over Sean for at least an hour.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I think it's already started.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah. Good, good. I'm happy for you, listeners at home. Do you do as well as Sean and Scotty? If not, then in the spirit of the sale cards from the Buy Everything expansion pack, I give you permission to purchase all of Scotty's correct answers. Now you're the winner of the game. Congratulations. Sorry, Scotty, they bought it from you.

[Sean Hayes]

Wow.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Of course, the great thing about Monopoly is it brings so people together, friends and relatives, cars and thimbles, top hats and little dogs. So why not snuggle up close for today's final cliffhanger puzzle? Of course, today's cliffhanger puzzle is the anti cliffhanger, because we're going to give you the answer today.

Sean, you got to spin last time. So, Scotty, you get to spin the free parking expansion pack Spinner to see what kind of trivia question I'll be asking you for this in no danger of falling non cliffhanger puzzle. Okay, Scotty, ready to give it a spin?

[Sean Hayes]

Yes. Let's go. Let's go. Here we go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

And it's spinning. Let the record show that the spinner landed on Monopoly Special Editions as the category. So I'm going to ask you a question about Monopoly Special editions. That question goes. Leslie. Monopoly is licensed in 103 countries, printed in 37 languages, and there are an estimated 2,500 special edition boards themed to locations, franchises, or notable individuals. Which of these pop culture figures have never had their own themed Monopoly Special Edition? And your choices are Deadpool, Ted Lasso, Paris Hilton, or the Beatles, which have never had their own Monopoly Special Edition themed set?

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I'm gonna say the Beatles, Scotty.

[Sean Hayes]

I'm just gonna say Ted Lasso.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, you are both incorrect. No answer is Paris Hilton.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Oh, wow.

[Elliot Kaelin]

The Beatles have had several additions. Deadpool has had two. Ted Lasso had one. But Paris Hilton, despite having family in the hotel business, has not had a single Monopoly set to her own. So how do you feel about. How do you feel about misjudging that one? Doing okay?

[Sean Hayes]

I'm gonna be all right.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Okay, good.

[Sean Hayes]

We're gonna get through this.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It's gonna be a real Rollercoaster episode for you every sh.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

Just give me. Give me a minute. Okay? I'm good.

[Sean Hayes]

Sean needs a minute. I need to go rub his shoulders.

[Scotty Eisenoggle]

I'll be right back.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay. Unfortunately, we just landed on Go directly to the end of show. But before we go, I'd like to thank Scotty Eisenoggle for advancing to the nearest utility and, if owned, buying it from the bank. I'd like to thank Sean Hayes for remembering it's not pronounced mono poly. I really appreciate that you weren't calling it that. But most of all, I'd like to thank you, the listener, for letting us have a monopoly on your ears. Until next time, this has been Smartless presents Clueless.
