    John returns to the show after a week off just in time to watch Adam Remsen become a super champion with a very strong week of games. We also get a very strong Response of the Year candidate with the rare "kibbitz with Ken" left in the edit and a previous Response of the Week crosses over into Minor League Baseball. Plus, Emily provides us with some more updates on being the cool aunt and we dive deep on the history of Ellis Island. If you want to be the cool aunt (or just a cool person), why not join our Patreon and support the show? We have a brand-new player interview coming this week, in addition to the full access you'll get to our entire bonus back catalogue and our Discord. It's a lot of fun and just $5/month!

    Week of June 15: No Meatspin Until You Finish Your Homework w/ Paolo Pasco

    John’s out this week, so Emily is joined by reigning TOC champion Paolo Pasco to recap another week of Adam Remsen. Despite some strong play this week, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to Response of the Week, and Paolo keeps his cards close to his chest about his Masters prep. This week’s JFAF has us asking, should retirees watch Jeopardy!? The answer may surprise you! Plus, we dive deep on nothing, because Emily forgot to ask Paolo to prepare something. Paolo is here this week but you know where else he is? On the Patreon! For simply supporting the show you can get access to that wonderful interview with Paolo and a bunch of other bonus content including live play episodes, Celebrity and YouTube Jeopardy! reviews, and hell, we even watch a Matt LeBlanc porno and an episode of Cop Rock. Plus, you get a new bonus every month and access to our Discord. Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast. Special thank you as always to The Jeopardy! Fan and the J-Archive.

    Week of June 8: Twice a Bird
    Jun 16 2026
    After Jamie Ding's imperial run and three consecutive ToC invites, the inevitable finally happened: we saw a bad game of Jeopardy!. Of course, all games of Jeopardy! are great, but this week finally served as a reminder that the game is hard and we've been watching some very impressive runs. This week, Peter McFerrin's run comes to an end, we get a few tough games, and we get a Final Jeopardy! response for the ages. Plus, we dive deep on hypnotism. We don't want to resort to putting you in a deep sleep, but we DO want you to support the show and donate to our Patreon! Just $5/month gets you access to a new bonus episode every month, our entire back catalogue of bonuses, and exclusive access to our Discord. It's a great deal and a lot of fun and only available at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.
