Yes, Roscoe's.

Elliot Kaelin (3:12)

It's a great house for chicken and waffles. Again, if it was just Roscoe's House of Chicken, I'd be.

Devin Tory Bryant (3:17)

You'd be.

Elliot Kaelin (3:18)

I'm even more excited about it. Yes, it was Roscoe's founder, Herb Hudson, who deemed that October 20th be a day of observance to celebrate this delicious combo and also promote volunteerism.

Devin Tory Bryant (3:29)

Elliot, I think all that food talk has made the audience hungry for the answer to our first question.

Elliot Kaelin (3:34)

Then let them eat cake. Because the answer to what food was not. One of their products originally made by Eggo was cake mix. You see, potato chips, mayonnaise, and noodles have two things in common. They are all original Eggo products and they are very unpopular. Waffle toppings. Nobody wants noodles and waffles or potato chips and waffles. Oh. You may be wondering, why is Eggo called Eggo? Because their flagship mayonnaise boasted that it contained more eggs than other leading brands. Whether the waffles contain more eggs remains a mystery to this very day. Ooh. Speaking of mysteries to this very day, let's move to today's main game. In honor of the life partnership between chicken and waffles, today's game is all about iconic duos. I'm going to give you clues to well known pairs and you tell me what duo I'm describing. Every answer will be in the form of X and Y. So, for example, if the clue was the dynamic duo of DC Comics, the answer would be Batman and Robin. Are you ready for our first round? If not, pause the podcast, because here I go. Duo number one, Comic strip boy and his stuffed tiger. You may know that that's Calvin and Hobbs. Question 2. Fable with the moral. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm sure you're already fast enough to get that. That's the tortoise and the hare. Clue number three, an assortment of random objects. Rummage through your junk drawer for the answer to this one. It's odds and ends. Clue number four, Outlaws in love during the Great Depression. That answer is wanted by me. And it is Bonnie and Clyde. Clue number five. Brother plumbers in the mushroom kingdom. You know this one? It's Mario and Luigi.

Mamma mia.

Elliot Kaelin (5:28)

Listeners, did you get the answers? If so, I've got a shiny nickel for you. Just remind me the next time I see you say, hey, Elliot, give me that nickel. If I don't remember and I run away, just chase me. Until then, stay tuned for the second round of duo Clues after we find out the answer to the question. Who's sponsoring today's show.

Welcome back to Smartless Presents. Clueless, the only puzzle podcast that's most of the way done. We've got another round of clues about famous duos, or as I call them, cluos. No, actually, forget that. It sounds like a Sherlock Holmes themed cereal. Forget it. Never mind. I could go for a big bowl of cluos. The pieces are all shaped like deerstalker hats.

Devin Tory Bryant (7:33)

Magnifying glasses.

Elliot Kaelin (7:34)

Magnifying glasses. You got it. Exactly. Somebody get on this. Kellogg's get on this.

Devin Tory Bryant (7:39)

It's kind of good, actually.

Elliot Kaelin (7:40)

Yeah. Yeah. Let's just go to round two. You know what? We'll brainstorm cereals later. Let's go to round two.

Devin Tory Bryant (7:45)

Yeah.

Elliot Kaelin (7:45)

Yeah. And the clues are clue number one in round two. Two old men heckling the Muppets. Look up in the theater box and you'll see it's Statler and Waldorf. Clue number two, small, hard to find places. Hopefully you don't have to look too hard to find those nooks and crannies. Clue number Three, traditional British comfort food consisting of sausages and potatoes. Well, looking at this menu from Ye Olde Pub, I see that it's bangers and mash. Clue number four, involving spycraft, secrecy, mystery or danger. Ooh, I shouldn't tell you this. It's a secret. But the answer is cloak and dagger. And finally, clue number five, phrase originating in ancient Rome, that means to distract or entertain the public in order to keep them complacent and prevent rebellion. And you may know that that is one of the most fun of all duos. Bread and circuses. Again, the circuses are handling most of the fun in that. Yeah, right. Exactly. But bread is good, too. Bread is good, too. Listeners, how did you do on our second round? Were you confident in your answers or did you waffle?

Devin Tory Bryant (9:00)

Oh, boy.

Elliot Kaelin (9:01)
