    Week of April 27: Yellow Delicious
    May 5 2026
    It was a wild and weird week for Jeopardy! as superchamp Jamie Ding meets his end at the hands of Greg Shahade, a chess master and very solid champion who dominated the news cycle this week for not his gameplay but uhh...other reasons. We bid farewell to our beloved Jamie and discuss a very fun week of games as we get an anecdote flex, two Response of the Year candidates, and we dive deep on the Granny Smith apple. If you want something else that will help keep the doctor away, why not join our Patreon? Surely bonus episodes from our podcast will keep you in excellent health! And none better than our most recent, as John's Blocked Party cohost Stefan Heck returned to the show to review Jeopardy!: YouTube Edition with us. It was...an experience. You'll also get immediate access to our entire back catalogue of episodes and our Discord. What fun! Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.

    Week of April 20: Not Really Horny, But Penis Mentioned
    Apr 28 2026
    Jeopardy! proves that you don't have to be horny to mention a horse's "equipment", and quite frankly, we approach feeling horny ourselves for one of the best games in Jamie Ding's entire run, as him and Patrick Nolan have a fantastic back-and-forth in Thursday's game. Plus, we get a real gunslinger in Lydia who answers so many clues her tongue gets twisted, John gets scared by an Emily anecdote prompt, and we dive deep on the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise". If you want to feel patriotic for our show, why not become one of its most valuable soldiers by donating to it?

    Week of April 13: The Cocaine Episode
    Apr 21 2026
    We aren't on cocaine while recording this episode, but for some reason it comes up more than once, as Emily forgets to finish writing a recap joke about it, John remembers that he's seen the 2001 drug-dealer movie "Blow", and TaoTao brings a manic energy to the Alex Trebek stage. Plus, Stephanie bows out in a joyous way, Jamie Ding continues his run of dominance, and we dive deep on Helen Keller's socialist history. If you want to help contribute to the greater whole (Emily and John continuing to do this pod), why not donate to the show? For just $5/month, you'll get a new bonus episode every month, access to our Discord, access to our entire back catalogue, and MORE! Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.
