    Dec 16 2025
    A category about holiday movies gets us in our Christmas bag as we discuss Christmas Vacation, Jingle All the Way, and Emily's early crush on Bernard the Elf. Will Riley jingles all the way to bank this week with cash stuffing his pockets after a very impressive run and a very, very confusing finish to it. We also have Jeopardy! fans (and the hosts) fuming over a bizarre category that made no sense and we dive deep on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

For just $5/month at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast, you'll get access to ALL of our bonus episodes, our Discord, and you'll get a new episode every single month.

    Week of December 1: Globes of the Devil
    Dec 9 2025
    It's a big week for superchamps present and former as Harrison Whitaker's time on J! comes to an end but superchamp Ray LaLonde's (evil?) twin, Ron, makes his debut and sets out to carve a Jeopardy! path of his own. Plus, we get another great 2-day champ in Libby Jones, we get perhaps the horniest clue we have ever read in our time as a podcast, and Ken can't stop thinking about wood. Plus, we dive deep on the humble tomato's history as a fruit and/or vegetable. Speaking of Harrison Whitaker, we loved him so much on the show we brought him on for a full-length bonus episode interview! Don't miss the exclusive by donating to our Patreon at ⁠patreon.com/jeopardypodcast⁠ for what was a wonderfully honest and funny chat about Harrison's life and his time on the Alex Trebek Stage.

    Dec 2 2025
    The imperial run of Harrison Whitaker marches on, and though he faces a couple tough challenges throughout the week, he heads into the weekend a 14-day champion. Ken also gets to feel like a champion on this episode as we get a few wonderful Ken's Korner moments, Jeopardy! fans fume about his Simpsons residuals, and we dive deep on Jim Thorpe. Plus, Harrison unknowingly gives us a couple gems of anecdotes and a response that tickles us. If you want to be tickled, why not donate to our Patreon?

    Week of November 17: (Chewbacca Noise)
    Nov 25 2025
    Harrison Whitaker is a joy to watch play Jeopardy!, but he also makes our job very hard this week, as his constant parade of correct answers makes it hard to make fun of anything. But comedy finds a way, as we have Jeopardy! fans fuming over something that makes no sense at all, we learn Harrison and John have a shared experience with the elderly, and we dive deep on Nikola Tesla. If you want some more ELECTRIC content, head on over to our Patreon to support the show! For just $5/month at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast, you'll get a new bonus episode every month, access to our Discord, and much more! Don't hesitate!

    Now that we have your attention, it's another episode of our Jeopardy! podcast! Googling ourselves leads to some mixed results but there were no mixed results for new champ Harrison Whitaker this week, as he steamrolls the competition on his way to a fantastic week and perhaps superchampdom. Plus, we wonder about his British accent, we dive deep on Queensland, and a contestant gets absolutely brutalized by Ken in the anecdotes. If you wanna get brutalized by more of our content, you can head on over to patreon.com/jeopardypodcast and donate to the show! You'll get a new bonus episode every month, access to our entire back catalogue immediately, and access to our very cool Discord, where we're always talking Jep! (and other stuff). Join today!

    Week of November 3: What Color is Shrek's Penis?
    Nov 12 2025
    That's the type of hard-hitting question we answer on the show this week, as John returns from his one-week layoff to tell tales about visiting Reno, Nevada and Emily buys a hat that prompts said conversation. Emily also narrowly avoids jury duty, we meet a potentially very strong champion in Allegra Kuney, and a Jeopardy! clue has us pondering everything we ever knew about The Flintstones. Plus, we dive deep on Pong. If you want even more of your bold J! questions answered, head on over to patreon.com/jeopardypodcast, where $5/month helps support the show AND gets you a new bonus episode every month, including the most recent, where John trains on a movie board with our friend, comedian Josh Gondelman.

    Week of October 27: Meet Me at the Tug Hole w/ Isaac Hirsch
    Nov 4 2025
    It’s fun careers week on Jeopardy! John is off licking his World Series wounds, so Emily is joined by Jeopardy! Master & 9-game champion Isaac Hirsch. We discuss Aaron Levine’s run, the history of Martha’s Vineyard, and Isaac’s short-lived career as a fake elevator operator. Jeopardy! fans fume about the one question they’re sick of answering, so we ask some others, like: how many head injuries should you claim on the Alex Trebek stage? Did Bakersfield ever have an apostrophe? And, oh my god, is Diana Nyad a fraud?? If you want to help support the show, consider donating at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast, where $5/month gets you access to a new bonus episode every month PLUS access to our entire back catalogue, our Discord, and MORE! Last week, John went back into the dojo to train on a movie board written by our friend Joel Bergen and our other friend, comedian Josh Gondelman, also comes along for the ride.
