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.
