SmartLess Presents ClueLess

While our host Elliott Kalan is busy this week opening his new theme park Vice President Universe (come for the death-defying Spiro Agnew Drop Tower, stay for Hubert Humphrey's Haunted House), please enjoy another puzzling re-release! On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliott Kalan welcomes back his married friends, the hilarious Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman (co-hosts of the podcast Couples Therapy) to weigh their options in a new game - This Or That! Elliott will provide a series of quotes, and on this occasion you must answer if it was said by God (as quoted in the Bible) or by Wu-Tang Clan member U-God. Before that, another round of our game First And Four-Most, where you’ll answer questions about the most common things people injure themselves falling out of, off of, or over. Plus: Andy’s wrong answer initiates Judgement Day, sorry about that.

Puzzles in this episode are by Brock Mahan.

A copy of the TV listings has fallen into Elliott’s possession from an alternate universe where things are pretty opposite, can you make heads or tails of the titles in their RomComs section, and translate them back into our world? Keep track of your answers, you’ll need them to solve the MegaClue! And before that: PHOBIAS.

On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliott Kalan invites married comedians Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero (co-hosts of The Endless Honeymoon podcast) to get into the ballpark with our game Take A Wild Guess! You don’t need to actually know the answer, just estimate what you think it might be, and try to get as close as you can! Then, after a bit of friction about whether DJ’ing is actually playing a musical instrument or not, we’ll put them through their paces with a round of This Or That in which Elliott asks who said a famous quote: Yoda, or Yogi Berra!
