SmartLess Presents ClueLess

While our fearless leader Elliott is away this week at a Fear Conquering Conference conquering his fears (he has a debilitating case of Arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth), please enjoy another repeat performance. In this episode, 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! In that game, you don’t need to actually know anything, just to estimate what you think the answer 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 will ask you who said the famous quote: Yoda, or Yogi Berra!

While our host Elliott Kalan is otherwise engaged this week completing The 12 Tasks Of Hercules (absolutely no trouble slaying the nine-headed hydra, or obtaining the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon, but he's having a heck of a time capturing Cerberus the Hound Of Hades), please enjoy another repeat performance! In this episode, Elliott welcomes back comedians and married couple Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero (co-hosts of The Endless Honeymoon podcast) to explore the intersection of pop culture and Presidents with another round of Odd Throuples. Then, it’s the return of our favorite non-branded digital assistant in Bot Bops - name the song title for one point, and the artist for another! Keep track of your answers, you’ll need them to defeat the MegaClue!

While Elliott is away this week running his summer festival Kalanpalooza (highlights include the Presidential Impressions and the Chili Cook-Off), please enjoy another repeat performance! 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!

While our host Elliott is away in London this week auditioning for the lead role in the next James Bond film (it's down to him or Jacob Elordi, fingers crossed!), please enjoy another repeat performance. On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliot Kalan welcomes back the highly entertaining duo of Janet Varney (SF Sketchfest, Avatar: Braving The Elements, Stan Against Evil) and her good friend Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series Of Unfortunate Events, Starship Troopers) to take a couple reps of a new game: Leg Day (ClueLess fans will pick this one up right away). Then, it’s a return of a new favorite, This Or That: Elliott will provide a series of clues, and on this occasion you must answer if they refer to a designer perfume or a Swedish black metal band. A knowledge of contemporary pop stars is needed for the MegaClue!

While Elliott is out of circulation this week doing ten years in Leavenworth (or is it eleven years in Twelveworth?), please enjoy another encore presentation (don't worry, he should be released soon for what the parole board refers to as "polite behavior"). On this episode, Elliott welcomes back the hilarious Janet Varney (SF Sketchfest, Avatar: Braving The Elements, Stan Against Evil), only this time she’s brought along her wonderful friend Neil Patrick Harris (Doctor Who: The Giggle, Gone Girl, Neil’s Puppet Dreams)! 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!
