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 Cailin. Well, have I got good news for you? There's more Cailin for you to consume. Not literally, don't eat him. You know what? I'll let Elliot tell you about it. Hello floppers, I'm Elliot Cailin, and I can't wait to tell you about the new podcast I'm hosting for Smartless Media. 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. And all this season, our contestant on every episode will be Mr. Sean Hayes. It's a lot of fun, the kind of thing you can play along with on your coffee break or waiting for a bus,

and since you never know what the game will be, you won't want to miss a single episode. 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. 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. Let's take that relationship and jeopardize it further as we play this episode's main game. It's a numbers right behind me. Cause I saw them load in.

I can smell the weed. Yeah, you did. It's a numbers game. It's so good. Let's begin. This game is built around TV shows with numbers in their titles. You are going to be tested on your very useful knowledge of television shows and also your very useless knowledge

of basic elementary school math. 227. 227. I like that you were so ready with a number right off the bat. It will be a winner in one of these questions. 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. Oh shit. You're going to have to recognize the show, understand the number, and then solve the equation using the missing numbers. And you can get a bonus point as a group for responding with an answer in the form of a TV show title. So I'm going to give you an example.

This is just a practice one. This doesn't count to your score. Let's try this out. If I said, day fiance minus for 30, what would the answer be? And you can talk it out too, work it out between yourselves. 90 day fiance, 30 for 30. So it'd be 60.

Yep, you got that right. And if you wanted that extra point, what is there as a show title with 60 minutes? Oh, 60 minutes. You show title with 60 minutes? You got it. 60 minutes. Great. You could have also said studio 60 or any of the millions of TV shows that have 60 in their titles. Okay, then let's play. It's a numbers game. TV show edition. The first question is million dollar man divided by Stooges.

Six million dollar man. Yep. And by three Stooges. Six million dollar man. Yep. Divided by three stooges. Six divided by three is two. Oh, two, and then you gotta do a show with two in it. 227. Nice. You got it, perfect. Two and a half men.

Fuck, you used it. You used it right away. I feel like I should give you double extra points because there's two twos in that name. Yeah, I would like it, I'll take it. Okay, so that's three points total for that first question. You're getting more points than you're supposed to. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Question two is Reno nine plus and a half man. 14. Reno nine one one, three and a half men. Oh shit. Two and a half men. Fucking dummy. It's 13. Hang on. Hang on. And Reno 9-1-1 could be 11 or two ones. I think we got to go with 11. I think we have to go with 11. Okay, 11. And then what is it? Plus two. Two and a half men, 13. Is 13. And 13 reasons why. Yep, you got it, that's great.

Oh nice. Where's 13 reasons why? Oh, it's a YA vehicle on Netflix. It can be seen massively successful. Young people love it, young people love it. Yeah, but it sucks. And I can give you 14 reasons why. Yeah.

Yeah. Let's go to question three. This one might be a little more difficult. I'm going to try to enunciate as much as I can. This is heaven times company. Seventh heaven. No, seventh heaven times. Times 21. Wait, wait, 21 Jump Street.

That's right. You got it. I thought you said something different on the second show. I thought it was six something. Seven times? Times 21. Wait, wait, 21 Jump Street. That's right. You got it. I thought you said something different on the second show. I thought it was six something. It could have been six's company. Who's your cable provider? Can you do different shows?

Three and a half men, six's company. Yeah. That was very fast, very impressive. You guys are blazing through this game. Let's continue it two, number four. This question is, Beverly Hills, 021O minus is enough. One, Beverly Hills, 90210 is enough. We gotta think of the show.

Minus eight, which is- Oh, one. Murder one. Murder one, very good, Will. Yeah, very good. You got it. Murder one, that good Will. Yeah, very good. Do-de-do. You got it. Murder one, that's two full points. It's just fantastic.

Sean, by the way, you suck at this game. I haven't heard one answer from you. No, I got the first one. Why are you got a pen in your hand? What are you doing? I'm writing the numbers down. Good boy, it's obviously helping. Question five.

Yeah. Things I hate about you minus Babylon. What is it? 10 things I hate about you or what is it? What's, uh, so it's, party of five. Great, you got it. Wow. Wow. That was good, that was good. Party of five. Incredible, Will.

You all have such unique strengths that come together as a team. Jason with the numbers, Will with the TV shows, Sean with the writing down the numbers, which is good for record keeping for later. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Would you consider Sean, would you consider it a compliment

if he says your strength is writing stuff down? Yeah. That's all he could compliment. I'll take anything I can get. Is there, in the Marvel, sorry, in the MCU, is there a superhero? Who's superpowers? Was writing stuff down?
