Feed Drop - SmartLess Presents ClueLess with Elliott Kalan and Sean Hayes!

Dan McCoy

[0:00] Hey folks, Dan here. If you're like me, and mostly I don't recommend it, you just cannot get enough of that lovable scamp, Elliot Kalin.

[0:09] Well, have I got good news for you. There's more Kalin for you to consume. Not literally. Don't eat him.

[0:17] You know what? I'll let Elliot tell you about it.

Elliott Kalan

[0:21] Hello, floppers. I'm Elliot Kalin, and I can't wait to tell you about the new podcast I'm hosting for Smartless Media.

[0:26] It's called Smartless Presents Clueless, a bite-sized twice-weekly game show with a different main game and cliffhanger puzzle in every single episode.

[0:36] And all this season, our contestant on every episode will be Mr. Sean Hayes.

[0:41] It's a lot of fun. The kind of thing you can play along with on your coffee break or waiting for a bus.

[0:46] And since you never know what the game will be, you won't want to miss a single episode.

[0:49] I'm about to play a clip from our first show, where Sean was joined by his pals Will Arnett and Jason Bateman to play a very silly pop culture math game.

[0:58] I hope you enjoy it, and don't miss the two-episode premiere of Smartless Presents Clueless on November 18th, wherever you get your podcasts.

[1:09] Let's take that relationship and jeopardize it further as we play this episode's main game,

[1:14] It's a Numbers Game TV Show Edition.

Dan McCoy

[1:17] Well, it's a Numbers Game.

[1:21] It's a Numbers Game TV Show Edition.

S3

[1:26] I keep forgetting there's a band right behind me.

[1:30] Because I saw them load in.

[1:33] I can smell the weed.

[1:35] Yeah, you did.

Elliott Kalan

[1:36] It's a numbers game.

[1:39] It's so good.

[1:40] All right, let's begin.

[1:41] This game is built around TV shows with numbers in their titles.

[1:44] You are going to be tested on your very useful knowledge of television shows,

[1:48] and also your very useless knowledge of basic elementary school math.

[1:52] 227.

[1:55] 227.

[1:55] I like that you were so ready with a number right off the bat.

[1:59] It will be a winner in one of these questions.

[2:01] Each question will take the form of a simple math equation, only instead of numbers, I'm going to tell you a TV show title that has had the number removed from it.

[2:10] Oh, shit.

[2:11] You're going to have to recognize the show, understand the number, and then solve the equation using the missing numbers.

[2:16] And you can get a bonus point as a group for responding with an answer in the form of a TV show title.

[2:23] So I'm going to give you an example.

[2:24] This is just a practice one.

[2:25] This doesn't count to your score.

[2:26] Let's try this out.

[2:27] If I said, day fiancé minus for 30, what would the answer be?

[2:33] And you can talk it out, too.

[2:34] Work it out between yourselves.

Dan McCoy

[2:35] 90 day fiancé, 30 for 30.

Elliott Kalan

[2:38] So it would be 60.

[2:39] Yep.

[2:39] You got that right.

[2:40] And if you wanted that extra point, what is there?

[2:42] A show title with 60 minutes.

[2:43] Oh, 60 minutes.

[2:44] 60 minutes.

[2:45] You got it.

[2:45] 60 minutes.

[2:46] Got it.

[2:46] That's great.

[2:47] You could have also said Studio 60 or any of the millions of TV shows that have 60 in their titles.

[2:51] Yeah.

[2:51] Okay, then let's play.

[2:52] It's a numbers game.

[2:53] TV show edition.

[2:56] The first question is, million dollar man divided by stooges.

[3:03] Six million dollar man.

[3:04] Yep.

[3:05] Divided by?

S3

[3:06] By three stooges.

[3:07] Three stooges.

[3:08] Six divided by three is two.

[3:10] Oh, two.

[3:10] And then you got to do a show with two in it.

[3:13] Two, two, seven.

[3:14] Nice.

[3:15] You got it.

[3:16] Perfect.

[3:16] Two points.

[3:16] Two and a half men.

[3:18] Fuck, you used it.

[3:19] You used it right away.

Elliott Kalan

[3:20] I feel like I should give you double extra points because there's two twos in that name.

[3:25] Yeah, I would like it.

[3:26] I'll take it.

[3:27] Yeah.

[3:27] Okay.

[3:28] So that's three points total for that first question.

[3:30] You're getting more points than you're supposed to.

[3:35] Question two is, Reno nine plus and a half men.

[3:41] Fourteen.

S3

[3:43] Reno nine one one, three and a half men.

[3:45] Oh, shit.

[3:46] Two and a half men.

[3:47] Fucking dummies.

[3:48] Thirteen.

[3:48] Ten.

[3:49] Hang on.

Dan McCoy

[3:49] Hang on.

[3:50] Wait, no.

[3:52] Reno nine one one could be eleven or two ones.

S3

[3:56] I think we got to go with eleven.

[3:58] I think we have to go with eleven.

[3:59] Okay, eleven.

[4:00] And then what is it?

[4:00] I think plus two is thirteen.

[4:05] And thirteen reasons why.

Elliott Kalan

[4:07] Yep, you got it.

[4:08] That's great.

[4:08] Oh, nice.

[4:08] What's thirteen reasons why?

S3

[4:10] Oh, it's a YA vehicle on Netflix.

[4:13] It can be seen massively successful.

[4:15] Young people love it.

[4:16] Young people love it.

[4:17] I bet it sucks.

[4:20] And I can give you fourteen reasons why.

Elliott Kalan

[4:28] Let's go to question three.

[4:29] This one might be a little more difficult.

[4:31] I'm going to try to enunciate it as much as I can.

[4:32] This is heaven times company.

[4:38] Seventh heaven.

S3

[4:39] No, seventh heaven times.

[4:41] 21.

[4:42] Wait, wait.

[4:43] 21 Jump Street.

[4:44] That's right.

[4:45] You got it.

[4:46] Wait, I thought you said something different on the second show.

[4:48] I thought it was six something.

Elliott Kalan

[4:49] It could have been Six's Company.

[4:50] Who's your cable provider?

[4:52] Because you're making different shows.

[4:54] Three and a half men, Six's Company.

[4:56] Yeah.

[4:59] That was very fast.

[5:00] Very impressive.

[5:01] You guys are blazing through this game.

[5:03] Let's continue it to number four.

[5:05] This question is.

[5:07] Beverly Hills 0210 minus is enough?

[5:14] One.

Dan McCoy

[5:15] Beverly Hills 90210.

[5:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[5:17] It is enough.

S3

[5:17] We got to think of the show.

[5:19] Minus eight.

[5:20] Oh, one.

[5:21] Murder one.

[5:22] Murder one.

[5:23] Very good, Will.

Elliott Kalan

[5:23] Yeah, very good.

[5:25] You got it.

[5:26] Murder one.

[5:26] That's two full points.

[5:27] It's just fantastic.

[5:29] Sean, by the way, you suck at this game.

[5:31] I haven't heard one answer from you.

[5:32] No, I got the first one.

S3

[5:34] Why are you going to put it in your hand?

[5:35] What are you doing?

[5:36] I'm writing the numbers down.

[5:38] What?

[5:39] It's obviously helping.

Elliott Kalan

[5:43] Question five.

[5:44] No.

[5:45] Things I hate about you minus Babylon.

S3

[5:50] What is it?

[5:50] Ten things I hate about you?

[5:51] Or what is it?

[5:53] What's?

[5:54] I don't know.

[5:55] Yeah, it's ten.

[5:55] Is it ten things?

[5:56] Is it ten, Elliot?

[5:57] I think it's ten things I hate about you minus Babylon.

[6:00] Five?

[6:01] Babylon.

[6:01] Babylon five.

[6:02] Yeah.

[6:03] So it's party five.

[6:06] Great.

[6:06] You got it.

[6:07] Wow.

Dan McCoy

[6:08] Wow.

[6:08] That was good.

[6:09] That was good.

[6:10] Party of five.

Elliott Kalan

[6:11] Incredible, Will.

[6:11] You all have such unique strengths that come together as a team.

[6:15] Jason with the numbers.

[6:16] Will with the TV shows.

[6:17] Sean with the writing down the numbers.

[6:19] Yeah.

[6:19] Which is good for record keeping for later.

[6:21] Yeah.

[6:21] For sure.

S3

[6:22] Sean, would you consider it a compliment and he says your strength is writing stuff down?

[6:27] Yes.

[6:28] That's all he could.

[6:29] I'll take anything I can get.

[6:31] Is there in the Marvel, sorry, in the MCU, is there a superhero who's superpowers?

[6:37] Was writing stuff down?

Dan McCoy

[6:40] The stenographer.

S3

[6:42] He was the stenographer.
