Show Notes
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.

The torch has been passed to our newest guest host: Guy Branum! And he's just in time to celebrate both Emily's birthday and a week of absolute queens on the show.

It's Handsome Kevin Seccia's farewell (for now!) episode, and we rue our childish hopes for Nikolas's run. Kevin quibbles about a wrestling clue and Producer Dan agrees, we try our hands at the ooOOO, and Kevin gives us some knife recommendations on his way out the door.

It's our second week back with Handsome Kevin Seccia, and dare I say we have our first breakout star of the season??? We do so much digging into the history of Groundhog Day you can basically call us Fred le Marmotte. The Greek Theater gets multiple shoutouts. We also "give dap" to our favorite responses and anecdotes of the week, including some prime bitchy Ken moments. Thanks as always to the Jeopardy! Fan and the J! Archive.

Well well well, looks like we CAN do the podcast without John! (even though the first time I tried to publish this I failed horribly) Emily is joined by friend of the podcast, Handsome Kevin Seccia, to recap the first week of season 43. Ken gets the Jeopardy! writers too online, Andrew Garfield seduces us down to his dungeon, Emily meets the Greatest Showman, and we play a new game: married or divorced? Special thank you, as always, to The Jeopardy! Fan and the J-Archive. This episode was produced by Producer Dan. Music is by Nate Heller. Art is by Max Wittert.
