  • Re-release: 217 - Take A Wild Guess/Tone Note (w/ Kristen Schaal and Matt Oberg)
    Jun 29 2026

    While our host Elliott is away this week ascending to a higher plane of consciousness (he won the chance to evolve into a being of pure thought by entering a meat raffle), please enjoy our last episode! In this final installment, Elliott welcomes back his hilarious pals Kristen Schaal (Bob’s Burgers, What We Do In The Shadows, The Last Man On Earth) and Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary, The Real O’Neals, Harley Quinn) to get into the ballpark and Take A Wild Guess about the popularity of English words! Then, it’s a return of our old friend Tone Note, Elliott will give you a clue and the answer is a two word phrase where the words are anagrams of each other, just like the game’s name, Tone Note! The MegaClue will ask you for a monstrously complex anagram!


    THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!

  • Re-release: 216 - Word Sandwich/Word Centipede (w/ Kristen Schaal and Matt Oberg)
    Jun 22 2026

    While our host Elliott is away this week competing in the International Sock Skating Championships (he's feeling good, but there's this guy from Eswatini with fearsome form), please enjoy another repeat performance. In this episode, Elliott invites his hilarious friends Kristen Schaal (Bob’s Burgers, What We Do In The Shadows, The Last Man On Earth) and Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary, The Real O’Neals, Harley Quinn) to contend with both a sandwich made out of words and then, incredibly, a centipede that is also made out of words. Get your brain limber, get a pen and paper, and settle in for a hilarious bonus-length episode testing your word recall! Kristen would really like you to know: cigarettes are NOT cool.

  • Re-release: 215 - Take A Wild Guess/This Or That (w/ Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero)
    Jun 15 2026

    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!

Ok, 3rd times charm leaving a review. I'll get it right this time!

This is an awesome way to spend 10 minutes or so stuck in traffic. If you love puzzles, Elliott is a brilliant host and Sean is awesome as usual! It is just delightful - funny but also a brain stretch! I highly recommend!

Brilliant!
