About this episode

Elliott Kalan hosts a re-release episode featuring Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman as they tackle the Word Centipede puzzle.

While our host Elliott Kalan is busy this week preparing his one-man performance of The Taking Of Pelham 123, please enjoy another hilarious re-release! On this episode of ClueLess, Elliott invites his friends Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman, married couple and hosts of the podcast Couples Therapy, to contend with the many limbs of our old foe, the Word Centipede! Elliott will give you three words, and you have to figure out which new word can be added either in front of or behind them to create three new compound words! Can you do it faster than Naomi and Andy? And can you keep track of your answers to defeat the MegaClue?! Puzzles in this episode are by Kevin Leman and Matt Pack. Script by Elliott Kalan. Music and sound effects by Devon Torrey Bryant. Buy Elliott’s book Joke Farming: How To Write Comedy And Other Nonsense HERE.
