Introduction

In Episode 155 of SmartLess Presents ClueLess, hosted by Emmy-winning writer Elliott Kalan, listeners are treated to an engaging session featuring the perennial contestant Sean Hayes and special guest Scotty Icenogle. The episode, titled "Bot Bops," delves into the whimsical world of song lyric puzzles presented by an emotionless bot, testing the participants' knowledge and quick thinking.

Recap of Previous Episode's Puzzle

Elliott opens the episode by revisiting the cliffhanger puzzle from the last episode, which involved a math riddle about Gizmo and Billy Peltzer's piggy bank. The puzzle asked:

“For every Christmas since Gizmo came to live with him, his friend Billy Peltzer has deposited as many coins into that mogwise piggy bank. As he is old now, there are 21 coins in the bank. How old is Gizmo? If each year Billy Peltzer has put in the number of coins per year of Gizmo's age at that year.”

Sean promptly solves it:

Sean Hayes [02:44]: "He's six years old."

Elliott praises Sean's swift and accurate reasoning:

Elliott Kalan [03:04]: "Very good. It sounds so complicated and yet the answer was once you know it, the answer is very simple."

Guest Introduction and Banter

The dynamic duo continues with lighthearted banter. Elliott introduces Scotty Icenogle, highlighting his role humorously:

Elliott Kalan [01:13]: "So please welcome the eighth wonder of the world, or at the very least, one of the top 20 wonders of Los Angeles, Sean Hayes."

Sean jokes about charging for his appearance:

Sean Hayes [01:19]: "Yeah, I'm glad I made the list. And by the way, I charge for people to look at me as one of the wonders."

The camaraderie between Elliott, Sean, and Scotty sets an entertaining tone for the episode.

Main Game: Bot Bops

The core of the episode revolves around "Bot Bops," a game where an AI bot recites fragmented song lyrics, and the contestants must identify the song title and artist. Successfully identifying five songs contributes to solving the mega clue question.

Bop 1: "When Doves Cry" by Prince

Clueless Bot [05:54]: "Bop dream, if you can? A courtyard, an ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses I feel the heat, the heat between me and."

Sean swiftly identifies the song:

Sean Hayes [06:05]: "You when doves cry by Prince."

Elliott confirms Sean's answer:

Elliott Kalan [06:13]: "Yes. When doves cry by Prince."

Bop 2: "Where It's At" by Beck

Clueless Bot [06:33]: "There's a destination a little up the road from the habitations and the towns we know a place we saw the lights turn low the jigsaw jazz and the get fresh flow Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts Two turntables and a microphone Bottles and cans a. Just clap your hands. Just clap your hands."

After some deliberation, Sean and Scotty identify the artist:

Clueless Bot [07:41]: "By Beck."

Sean expresses his fondness for Beck:

Sean Hayes [07:44]: "Oh, I love it."

Bop 3: "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers

Clueless Bot [07:56]: "Why does my heart skip a crazy beat For I know it will reach defeat Tell me why Tell me why."

Despite attempts to guess, Elliott intervenes with the correct answer:

Clueless Bot [08:55]: "Why Do Fools Fall In Love? By Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers. Or the Beach Boys Or Diana Ross or Joni Mitchell."

Elliott humorously acknowledges the difficulty:

Elliott Kalan [09:08]: "It was like, guys, everybody's done this song. You just name any performer and they've probably done it."

Bop 4: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2

Clueless Bot [09:48]: "I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls these city walls Only to be with you but."

Sean identifies the song:

Sean Hayes [10:10]: "I Still Haven't Found what I'm Looking for by U2."

Elliott commends the accuracy:

Elliott Kalan [10:17]: "Yes, John. Very good. I Still Haven't Found what I'm Looking for by U2."

Bop 5: "Who Let the Dogs Out" by Baha Men

Clueless Bot [10:41]: "I see the dance people had a ball. Cause she really want to skip town. Get back, Gruffy. Back, Scruffy. Get back, you flea infested mongrel. Gonna tell myself, hey man, no get angry. Hey yay, yippie, yay yo to any girls calling them canine. Hey, yippee yay yo. But they tell me, hey man, it's part of the party. Yippee I yo. You put a woman in front and her man behind. I heard a woman shout out blank."

After some playful frustration, Sean nails the answer:

Sean Hayes [12:06]: "Who Let the Dogs Out by the Baha Men."

Elliott praises their performance:

Elliott Kalan [12:19]: "Yes, that was who Let the Dogs Out. I'm gonna give you a point for that that you can share between the two of you."

Score Update: Sean has accumulated five points, while Scotty has one and a quarter points.

Mega Clue Question

With all five songs correctly identified, Elliott presents the mega clue:

Elliott Kalan [12:52]: "You see, the five songs in today's puzzle all have titles that are part of the same category. Often there is a sixth member of this category. Your job is to tell me what is the theme. And can you name a song that fits the sixth and missing member of this category?"

Sean and Scotty collaboratively deduce that the theme revolves around question words:

Scotty Icenogle [13:31]: "They sound like when, where, why? These sound like objects of a question. Who, what, where, why?"

Sean Hayes [13:44]: "Who? And how."

They identify "How Will I Know" by Erica Houston as the missing member, completing the category of question words in song titles.

Elliott awards them additional points, declaring both as winners:

Elliott Kalan [14:17]: "That megaclue was also worth 75 points, so you're both winners."

Cliffhanger Puzzle

Before wrapping up, Elliott introduces the cliffhanger puzzle to keep listeners engaged for the next episode:

Elliott Kalan [14:38]: "Today's puzzle is all about something that bots cannot do, and that's eat. So let's just take pride in the fact that we're all eating beings, and robots can't do that. You know, the puzzle goes, I'm at a buffet. If I've already had ham, eggs and fries, logically, which food should I eat next? I'm at a buffet. If I've already had ham, eggs and fries, logically, which food should I eat next?"

Sean humorously attempts an answer:

Sean Hayes [15:29]: "Well, clearly it's pizza, but maybe we'll wait."

Elliott hints that the answer will be revealed in the next episode, leaving listeners curious and eager.

Conclusion

Elliott wraps up the episode with witty analogies, thanking Scotty as the "perfect amuse bouche" and Sean as the "delicious but nutritious main course," while honoring the listeners as the "sweetest of desserts." He concludes with a humorous note about leaving the bill, maintaining the show’s signature lightheartedness.

Smart less. They say a leopard can't change its spots, but just to be careful, the leopard should still change its wifi password every six months. This is Clueless. Clueless. Clueless.

[Sean Hayes]

I'm Clueless.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Guest voice welcome to Smartless Presents. Clueless, the puzzle podcast that puts the podcast in Puzzle podcast. I'm Elliot Kaelin, the ghost of this show. Oh, I'm sorry, I misread that. I'm the host of this show. Oh, that's a relief.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, my God.

[Elliot Kaelin]

So close. Now, please welcome the eighth wonder of the world, or at the very least, one of the top 20 wonders of Los Angeles, Sean Hayes.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, I'm glad I made the list. And by the way, I charge for people to look at me as one of the wonders.

[Elliot Kaelin]

That's one of the hardest things about recording with you, is you have the meter running and at the end, I have to have to pay you what I owe just for the link.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Exactly.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

[Sean Hayes]

Well, the meter's been running for 18 years, so it's gonna be a lot more than that.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You're gonna need a loan.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Residuals kick in.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, you're gonna have to do. Speaking of math, Elliot.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Oh.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Oh, what a beautiful segue. Yes, thank you, Sean, for doing my job for me.

[Sean Hayes]

Yes.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Speaking of math, why don't we take this moment to jump into last episode's cliffhanger puzzle? You may remember, it was a math riddle that went thusly. For every Christmas since Gizmo came to live with him, his friend Billy Peltzer has deposited as many coins into that mogwise piggy bank. As he is old now, there are 21 coins in the bank. How old is Gizm? If each year Billy Peltzer has put in the number of coins per year of Gizmo's age at that year.

[Sean Hayes]

Right, I got it.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

You do? Yeah. What is it?

[Sean Hayes]

He's six years old.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You're exactly right, Sean. He is six years old. Each year he put in, he put in one of those coins. One, then two. The second year three. The third year, four.

[Sean Hayes]

I really did this. I go, one was one coin, two is two coins, three was three, four was four, five and five, six was six. And then you add six.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Very good.

[Sean Hayes]

Four, three, two, one.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Very good.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. It sounds so complicated and yet the answer was once you know it, the answer is very simple.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, he's a young six.

[Elliot Kaelin]

He's a young six. Well, for mogwise, that's quite old, actually.

[Sean Hayes]

That is. Yeah. He's an old six.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Listeners, did you get the answer? If so, perhaps this truly is the best of all possible worlds. That is if you ignore all the other stuff about the world. Let's do just to set that aside. But hey, this is also the only world with today's main game. Botbops. Botbops.

[Clueless Bot]

I am the bot and these are my bops.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Botbot is the popular game where we rely on our very own clueless bot to recite popular song lyrics in her oh so dulcet, oh so emotionless tones. It's like seeing your favorite band in concert. If you don't like music, your job is to tell me the title of the song and the artist. And at the end, the five songs you identify will give us the answer to today's mega clue question. Are you ready?

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Ready.

[Elliot Kaelin]

And you know what I'm gonna say. Just for fun, let's make this another competitive game.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

So whoever can say it first.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Whoever can say you were both very excited to play it until I tore you asunder.

[Sean Hayes]

Yes, Asunder.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Asunder.

[Sean Hayes]

I gotta use that more often.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yeah. Henceforth, let's begin.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Oh, very nice.

[Clueless Bot]

These are my bops.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Bot, can you please play the first.

[Clueless Bot]

Bop dream, if you can? A courtyard, an ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses I feel the heat, the heat between me and.

[Sean Hayes]

You when doves cry by prince.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yes.

[Elliot Kaelin]

All right. Bot, is Sean correct?

[Clueless Bot]

When doves cry by prince.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes. When doves cry by prince.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Way to go.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. Excellent. It loses a little bit of something in the bot translation, but also gains a little something. Yeah, it sure does.

[Sean Hayes]

It sure does.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

It's a nice little twist.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. Sean has two points, One for the artist and one for the song. But the game's just beginning. Bot, I believe you have yet another bop for us.

[Clueless Bot]

There's a destination a little up the road from the habitations and the towns we know a place we saw the lights turn low the jigsaw jazz and the get fresh flow Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts Two turntables and a microphone Bottles and cans a. Just clap your hands. Just clap your hands.

[Guest Voice]

Blank, blank, blank.

[Clueless Bot]

I got two turntables and a microphone.

[Guest Voice]

And a microphone Blank, blank, blank.

[Clueless Bot]

I got two turntables and a microphone.

[Sean Hayes]

Mm. What does she have? So I thought the name of the song was two turntables and a microphone.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It is not. But do you know who the song is by? You could still get a point for that.

[Sean Hayes]

I don't. I mean, I know it. Oh, is it. It's not Eminem, is it?

[Elliot Kaelin]

No, it's not Eminem.

[Sean Hayes]

No, it's one of those.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It is a different person whose name is also a brand name for an ingestible product like Eminem, but it's not. I don't know if That's a helpful clue.

[Sean Hayes]

Is Jay Z a candy? No, I'm kidding. No, I don't know.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yeah. I'm stumped.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Okay, Bot, can you please tell us what that bop was, where it's at?

[Clueless Bot]

By Beck.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, I love it.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Beck's, of course, is the German beer, you know, that took his name from, I assume.

[Sean Hayes]

I love Beck so much and I forgot that he did that song.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Song. Bot, please give us your third bop.

[Clueless Bot]

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat For I know it will reach defeat Tell me why Tell me why.

[Guest Voice]

Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank.

[Clueless Bot]

Why do birds sing so gay? And lovers await the break of day?

[Guest Voice]

Blank, blank. They blank, blank, blank.

[Clueless Bot]

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Why do I fall in love? No.

[Sean Hayes]

When will I fall in love?

[Elliot Kaelin]

But it's close.

[Sean Hayes]

I don't know. I don't know the thing.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

I can hear it in my head.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You'll know this song. You'll know this song. I think as soon as you hear the title, you'll be like, oh, that song.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Well, I'm so focused on why do birds sing so gay. Because.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah. For obvious reasons. Bird sake. Yeah. I thought. Tell me why. I thought it was Backstreet. Poison.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Ain't Nothing but a Heartache. Yeah, yeah, tell me why.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Should I tell you the answer? Or should I rather have the bot tell you the answer? Bot, why don't you break the news to them?

[Clueless Bot]

Why Do Fools Fall In Love? By Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers. Or the Beach Boys Or Diana Ross or Joni Mitchell.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

That's it.

[Sean Hayes]

That was just to really stick it to us. How stupid we are.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It was like, guys, everybody's done this song. You just name any performer and they've probably done it. Motorhead, Metallica, Black Sabbath, they've all done it. Slayer. But that was why do fools Fall in Love? But Scotty, you were so close to that. So close. So close.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Sympathy sympathy point.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You know what I'm going to give you? I'm going to give you not so much a sympathy point. I'm going to give you a sympathy quarter point, actually. Yeah, I'll give you a quarter point for that.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Fair enough. Thank you.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Because I could see that it was just the neurons were so close to getting it in your brain. So close, Bot. Perhaps this next bop is the one that will break this bot. Bops. Drought of two questions, I think it is.

[Clueless Bot]

I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls these city walls Only to be with you but.

[Guest Voice]

Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank.

[Sean Hayes]

I Still Haven't Found what I'm Looking for by you two.

[Elliot Kaelin]

But is John right?

[Clueless Bot]

I Still Haven't Found what I'm looking for by U2.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yes, John. Very good. I Still Haven't Found what I'm looking for by U2. Also known by its alternate title, Blank, Blank, Blank, Blank, Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, Blank, blank, blank by U2.

[Sean Hayes]

Such a good song.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Very good. The blank version also. Again, it brings something to it. Yeah.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yeah, it does.

[Sean Hayes]

It's a. I think people should cover the Blank song.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yeah.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Our final bop. We have one left in this game. Bot, please bop for us, won't you?

[Clueless Bot]

I see the dance people had a ball. Cause she really want to skip town. Get back, Gruffy. Back, Scruffy. Get back, you flea infested mongrel. Gonna tell myself, hey man, no get angry. Hey yay, yippie, yay yo to any girls calling them canine. Hey, yippee yay yo. But they tell me, hey man, it's part of the party. Yippee I yo. You put a woman in front and her man behind. I heard a woman shout out blank.

[Guest Voice]

Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh my God.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

That's the longest title ever.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, I will say they're repeating the title a couple times there. They're repeating it a couple times. Otherwise very long title. This is a song. I guarantee you, you've heard it. You may. You may know the performance of it, but I'd be surprised if you knew the lyrics of it. But I think you might. May be able to get it. This is what I may. I may allow you guys to make this a cooperative one. This is a tough one.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, this is dog something. Dog. Yeah, yeah, it's a dog. Dog Day Afternoon. I don't know.

[Elliot Kaelin]

It's a more modern dog related song. Some would even call it a novelty song, perhaps, or one hit wonder song.

[Sean Hayes]

I have no idea.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Oh, get the dogs out. Who?

[Sean Hayes]

Who let the dogs out?

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Who let the dogs out?

[Sean Hayes]

Dogged out by Snoop Dogg.

[Elliot Kaelin]

No, Bot. Bops. Are they right?

[Clueless Bot]

Who Let the Dogs out by the Baha Men.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, the Baha Men.

[Elliot Kaelin]

The Baha Men. A lot of people forget that the Baha Men started with who let the Dogs Out? Before they went on to their other amazing hits from that point on.

[Sean Hayes]

And a lot of people forgot the Lyrics.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Apparently, it's one of the songs where I feel like, yeah, knowledge of the lyrics is probably at a low point in America right now. But, yes, that was who Let the Dogs Out. I'm gonna give you a point for that that you can share between the two of you. So that means that right now you each get a point for that. Sean has five points. Scotty has one and a quarter points.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Hey, all right.

[Elliot Kaelin]

These are just the facts. I'm just reporting the facts. All right, Bot Box, bot, why don't you take five and let me handle today's mega Clue.

[Carl's Jr. Representative]

Mega Clue question.

[Elliot Kaelin]

You see, the five songs in today's puzzle all have titles that are part of the same category. Often there is a sixth member of this category. Your job is to tell me what is the theme. And can you name a song that fits the sixth and missing member of this category? Would you like to know the names of the songs again?

[Sean Hayes]

Yes. Now you know what that is.

[Elliot Kaelin]

They are When Doves Cry. Where it's at? Why Do Fools Fall in Love? I Still Haven't Found what I'm Looking For. And who Let the Dogs Out? What theme runs each of these five titles? And what is a sixth title that would complete whatever category or theme that is?

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Well, these sound like when, where, why? These sound like objects of a question. Who, what, where, why?

[Sean Hayes]

When? Where, why, what? Who? And how.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

How, How.

[Sean Hayes]

So it could be a million songs have how in them. How will I know if he's drinking a mate with Houston?

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, you got it exactly right. They all have one of those words, one of those question words. Who, what, where, why, and when. We were looking for a how song, and you got it. That was what? How will I know?

[Scotty Eisenogle]

How Will I know?

[Sean Hayes]

Or how can I fall? Remember that? How can I fall when I just fall? Although that's hands to heaven.

[Scotty Eisenogle]

Yeah, that's hands. Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Nevermind.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Yeah, it should be the same. How will I know? You got it. That was what? Erica Houston. How will I know? Yeah, yeah, wonderful. You know what? I'm gonna. That megaclue was also worth 75 points, so you're both winners. This is fantastic. You really did. Listeners at home, did you do as well as Sean and Scotty? If not, that's okay. When the machines rise up to crush us, only you will have the strength to resist their beautiful songs and defeat them in the karaoke battle that will decide the fate of humanity. But before that happens, we've still got this episode's cliffhanger puzzle. The cliffhanger puzzle is our way of grabbing your arm as you walk out the door and saying, wait, wait, don't go. We can change. But as a puzzle. Today's puzzle is all about something that bots cannot do, and that's eat. So let's just take pride in the fact that we're all eating beings, and robots can't do that. You know, the puzzle goes, I'm at a buffet. If I've already had ham, eggs and fries, logically, which food should I eat next? I'm at a buffet. If I've already had ham, eggs and fries, logically, which food should I eat next?

[Sean Hayes]

Well, clearly it's pizza, but maybe we'll wait.

[Elliot Kaelin]

We'll find out the next one. Sean. Scotty. Seems like, Sean, you've already got a strong idea what you think it is.

[Sean Hayes]

I have no idea what it is. I just want pizza.

[Elliot Kaelin]

Luckily, this is the time when you can do that because we're coming to the end of the episode. Sean's hungry for pizza. But I personally am stuffed with puzzles I could not solve another bite. Before we step away from this table, I'd like to thank Scotty for being the perfect amuse bouche for this episode. I'd like to thank Sean for being a delicious but nutritious main course. And I'd like to thank you, the listeners, for being the sweetest of desserts. I'm your host, Elliot Kaelin. The mint they leave on the check that you don't really want, but you take it so you can throw it out later when you go through your pockets. This has been Smartless presents Clueless. And I'll just leave the bill right here for whenever you're ready.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, that's nice. Bye, everybody.
