  • 213 - Odd Throuples/Coupled Up (w/ Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero)

    On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliott Kalan invites the hilarious married couple (and co-hosts of The Endless Honeymoon podcast) Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero to contend with two new Valentine’s-themed games: first up is Odd Throuples, where you’ll get clues to two celebrity names which, when combined, reveal a third celebrity in the middle. Then, our new game Coupled Up, which we promise isn’t complicated, we’ll give you a clue and the answer is a two word phrase where the second word starts with the last letter of the first word. The MegaClue will reveal the secret to a happy relationship!

  • 211 - Breaking The Law/Linkuistics (w/ Janet Varney and Neil Patrick Harris)

First up is a very relaxed game about bizarre state laws (do NOT overthink this one), and then we’ll have a return of an old favorite: Linkuistics! Elliott will give you a word and the starting letter of a second word that completes a well-known phrase, guess what the phrase is and try to keep your word chain going longer than your opponent! In the MegaClue, we’ll ask you to come up with your own connections between given words!
