Hey, Smarties, it's Sean Hayes here. You may remember that we launched a new bite-sized game show last year called Clueless. In every episode, our hilarious host, Elliot Kalin, takes me and a friend of mine through a different game, and sometimes they're word puzzles or chains of common phrases or robots singing songs, we have to guess. It's a whole lot of fun. Here's a special Monopoly-themed episode that came out today, sponsored by our friends at Hasbro, where my husband, oh, I want to say...

Scotty. That's it. My husband, Scotty, Icy Knuckle, and I play a special Monopoly-themed game called Do Not Pass Go. Clueless. Today's episode of Clueless is sponsored by Monopoly, and there are 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. Less. More.

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. I'm Clueless.

Very nice. Welcome to SmartList 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 Kalin, 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, Sean Hayes.

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. Is that possible? There's something you love more than those things? Uh-huh. Chocolate cake. And my husband, Scotty, I snuggle who's here as well. Scotty. Oh.

Where are you right now? Hi. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Yes. What part of the city and the town are you in, and where are you exactly right now? I'm actually in the next room. Oh, that's spooky. That's very spooky. All right.

The idea of him being in the same house as you is very creepy and weird. Very upsetting. Yeah. This is why we have the couple houses. Yeah, exactly. You know, when you said love more than anything else, I thought you were going to say Pop-Tarts. Oh, Pop-Tarts. Chocolate cakes. Snickers too and paydays and stuff like that. Scotty is quickly getting knocked out of the top five. That's disappointing. Yep. Yep.

Today's episode, it's about the world of Monopoly. 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&O Railroad over to wherever B&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 will be asking i will have sean spin the spinner from the free parking expansion set sean i can't wait set that spinner spinning i haven't done this since college there we go

And it landed on Monopoly tokens. That will be the category for today's trivia question. Excellent spinning. Great spinning, Sean. Thank you. Well done. It's all in the wrist. 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 choices are T-Rex, the dinosaur, not the band, cannon, goose, or sack of money. Over the years, because, you know, I grew up playing it when they didn't have any of those.

But I know they... You had to make your own pieces out of corn cobs and acorns, things like that. And we actually had to purchase property with our own money. It was really... Yeah, it really put us out. With the legal script that came with it. It was very real. 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. It is a real thing, right. I'm going to say... Goose? Goose.

Yeah, that was my instinct. That was mine, yeah. 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 cannon was in the original 1935 set. 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. Oh, that's cool. We'll probably choose Sack of Money for Monopoly. And the T-Rex was briefly introduced in 2017. I assume it's extinct now. Nice work. Ah, nice. All right. Nice. Nice. That's interesting. That's really, I love that kind of stuff. Yeah. Well, get ready. You're going to learn more Monopoly stuff later in this episode. Monopoly.

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. And if you're a mastermind who loves a 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.

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. Available now on Amazon. All is fair in Monopoly expansions. Monopoly is a trademark of Hasbro. Monopoly.

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. Do not pass go. Monopoly is a registered trademark. Pass go.

I can't wait. I can't wait for the Clueless album. Yeah. Oh, it's going to be great. I know. I love every song. The show gets longer and longer. Yeah. There's no better song than a song that has copyright information in the song, just to answer any questions about it. 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. Oh, I understand. You never pass and go. The letters end in G-O, the ones that you're going to guess. So you don't always pass that. The other letters go before go, and then you just stop and go. What if during the instructions you pass a kidney stone? Then I'll know from the scream. So, for instance, if the clue was Latin American ballroom dance,

The answer would be tango. Yes, tango. Very good. You didn't say tangos, which is good because you got to stop and go. We would have passed. You would have passed the G.O. That's correct. Guys, I cannot make this clear. You can't go past G.O. Just don't even do 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 from Monopoly. Do not pass go. The first question. A company's symbol is its...

Logo. Yes, logo. Very good. Number two. The Windy City is? Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Very good. Another word for jargon is? Lingo. Oh, great. It's close to blue on the spectrum. Indigo. Very good. Sean got that one just right at the top. Okay. A pink waterfowl is a?

Flamingo. Flamingo. Scotty. Your buddy in Spanish is your... Amigo. Amigo. Lottery-style game with numbered balls is... Bingo. Oh, nice. Very good. A crime comedy film by the Coen brothers. Fargo. Oh, shoot. Very good. I was right on the tip of my tongue. Plastic building bricks to be mastered. Lego. 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. He would actually hit me if I didn't get that right. He'd throw Legos at you. Yeah. He'd make something out of Legos and 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. Oh, yeah.

I know it. I know it. I can give you a follow-up clue if you need a follow-up clue. Yes, of course. Okay. He's the sidekick bird in Aladdin. Oh, my God. Oh, God. I saw that in 1928. I can't remember. Yeah. I'm never going to get this. Hugo. No, Hugo is a good guess because it ends in G-O, but it's wrong. The answer is Iago. Iago. All right. Iago. Although I guess you could say the real villain in Othello is jealousy.

Hey. Oh, nice. Write that down, Elliot. Okay, I'll do that. But it doesn't end in geo. Oh, jealousy go. Jealousy go. You're right. I'm ruining my own game. Okay.

Okay, so tallying up after 10 clues, the score is Sean has 1, 2, 3, 4. Scotty has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So Scotty is in the lead. Amazing. I don't sound as amazed. I'm sorry, Scotty. I shouldn't be so amazed with that. I'm in the haunted hallway section of our apartment, and I'm getting underestimated. No, no, but that's even better. 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 in go. The questions, slightly trickier. Each answer is now worth two points. So 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. Vertigo.

Oh, boy, that was so close. That was neck and neck. I'm going to give each of you two on that one. We'll have to go to the tail of the tape, but we don't have it. So number 12, a chain of islands is an? Oh, God. A chain of islands.

I don't know. I'm never going to get it. I can hear the audience screaming at us right now. Yeah, they're screaming at you. The only clue I have for you is probably not going to be that helpful. What is it? The word that's missing from the title of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag. Good Lord. Oh, sure. It's the only association I have with that word.

No, I have no idea. Should we move on to the next one? Yeah. All right. The answer was archipelago. Oh, yes. I didn't know that was a string of islands, but yeah. 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? Cargo. Very good. A milk cheese similar to Parmesan.

Oh. Brie, go. Cheddar, go. I don't, I'm going to know it and I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either. Okay, the answer is Asiago. Asiago cheese. These are the tough ones. These are the two point ones, but you'll get this one. Fair enough. Manufacturer of camper vans.

Winnebago. Winnebago. Oh, that's great. I feel like Scotty started first, but Sean finished the word first. He did. And then Scotty took longer to say the word, but Sean finished it. Well, see, we must have a delay because I feel like I'm getting all of these. Okay, go ahead. Number 16. Island that forms a country with Trinidad. Do we know it? I'm going through my world knowledge. You'll think about it. They're often referred to as Trinidad and... Trinigo. Trinigo.

Trinidad and Trinimum. No, I don't know. Geography, not my strong suit. Okay. Want me to tell you what it is? Yes. Tobago or Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago. Wouldn't have gotten it. Wouldn't have gotten it. Okay. Well, how about this one? Question 17. Tree whose extract is often used as a memory supplement. Seems like you guys could use a dose of this one. Prevagen. Prevagen-go. Oh, no, that's from jellyfish. Prevagen. Yeah. I was thinking that too. Yeah.

A tree whose supplements are used as a memory thing. Well, now we're never going to forget this answer. 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? Yes, please. Ginkgo. Ginkgo. Oh, ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo biloba, yes. Yeah. You know what? You were thinking bilobago. Bilobago. It's pretty difficult, yeah. Yeah, yeah. A trade ban is an... Embargo. Embargo. Yes. God, you're fast. You might order movie tickets from...

Fandango. Fandango. Fandango. That was beautiful to see. I may have pooped in my pants a little bit on that one. I've never seen two people verbally scramble over each other. Question 20, the final one for this round. Freud said that this part of the mind acts as our conscience. Ego. Ego. You're both wrong. I apologize. Would you like another try at it? Because you're almost there.

Ego-go? If it's not just an ego, if it's even bigger and more powerful than ego, it would be... Super Ego! Yeah, Super Ego. There's the id, the ego, and the super ego. Very easy to confuse them because they've got almost the same name. I was thinking of id, too. I was like, id-o? Id-go? No. Okay. Id-go.

Right. After round two, let's tally up the score again. Well, we don't have to do it. Scotty won. Oh, here we go. Come on. Let's go. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Just to say it officially, Sean has seven and Scotty has, let's see, seven, nine, 17. 48. 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 G-O 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. 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 Scott. Oh, my God, I know it. Literally, my brain is on fire right now. That's where the answer would be. Don't look in the other organs. It's not in your lungs. Or the frozen turkey section. I'm...

Dr. Zhivago. Yes, Dr. Zhivago. Very good. Wow. Very good. Good for you. Question 22. He's one of opera's famous three tenors. Domingo. Yes, Domingo. Very good. Very good. Okay, 23. New wave band founded by Danny Elfman who wrote the theme to Weird Science. Bongo, bongo. Very good, Sean. Yep. 24. A huge round of applause as at the end of a play. This is a tricky one.

It's like a standing O. You got it, Sean. Standing O. Yes. Oh. Oh, God. Yeah. All right. I heard you say it not as the answer, but just as thinking. But yeah, that's what it was. Standing O. And 25. Finally, a fictional thief who, quote, sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina. Carmen Sandiego. Yes, Carmen Sandiego. Very good. Scotty, how did you get that? That's one 90s kids will know. That's right. Carmen Sandiego.

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 has 27 to Sean's 22. That's only one final round question away from... That's a close game. That turned very close. That was close, yeah. So the winner is...

Scotty, Scotty, I hope this is something you can lord over Sean for at least an hour. I think it's already started. 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.

Wow. Of course, the great thing about Monopoly is it brings so many 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? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Of course, today's cliffhanger puzzle is the anti-cliffhanger because we're going to give you the answer today. So let's call it an in-no-danger-of-falling puzzle. That's what we're doing today, an in-no-danger-of-falling puzzle. I love that. 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? Yes, let's go. Let's go. Here we go.

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. Okay.

Monopoly is licensed in 103 countries, printed in 37 languages, and there are an estimated 2,500-plus 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?

I'm going to say the Beatles, Scotty. I was going to say Ted Lasso. Okay. You are both incorrect. No, the answer is Paris Hilton. Wow. The Beatles have had several editions. 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 misjudging that one? Doing okay? Okay.

I'm going to be all right. Okay, good. We're going to get through this. It's going to be a real rollercoaster episode for you. Just give me a minute. Okay, I'm good. Sean needs a minute. I need to go rub his shoulders. I'll be right back. Okay.

Unfortunately, we just landed on go directly to the end of show. Before we go, I'd like to thank Scotty Eisnogel 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 monopoly. I really appreciate that you weren't calling it that.
