Week of March 23: Mmm Mmm Mmm

About this episode

The episode discusses a challenging week on Jeopardy! featuring Jamie Ding, includes a giggle fit, and dives into the history of 3M, along with an exclusive interview with Andrew He.

It's another Jamie Ding week on Jeopardy! and that means another tough week for our show, as his dominance makes our jobs just that much more difficult. But we find a way, as an Emily joke turns into a complete giggle fit for John, Jamie gives a very classy incorrect response, and there's heartbreak in BFJ. Plus, we dive deep on the company history of 3M. If you want an episode that wasn't difficult for us at all, then head on over to our Patreon as we posted a brand-new episode yesterday: an exclusive interview with Andrew He! Saying it was the most candid interview he's ever given, Andrew gets into the nitty-gritty with us from the food poisoning he suffered right before the JIT to how he's prepared for all the big tournaments over the years. It's a great way to support our show and get some great content too! Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.
