Line as man by the name of

next week. His episode will air on

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.920
Monday night. Wherever you find your
Jeopardy watch it there. Jared is from

10
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.359
Greenville, Texas, which is considered
part of the Metroplex in my estimation.

11
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.520
And Jared joins us now, Good
morning, Jared, How you doing man?

12
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:07.079
Oh doing fantastic? Thanks for having
me so you and I I am

13
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.319
an I'm an archive nerd, and
I went and found the episodes that got

14
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.480
you here, so it looks like
they aired in June June first, second,

15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:23.359
fifth, and sixth four Big Wins
You Took Down Deborah and Harrison and

16
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.920
Annabelle and Sylvia and Ava and many
others on your path to greatness. Three

17
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.040
time champion see the season thirty nine. I'm looking at the number they have

18
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.560
you compiled at fifty six thousand dollars
plus and described as a quality control specialist

19
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.400
from Greenville, Texas. So,
and here you are now the Jeopardy Tournament

20
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.000
of Champions. What in the world
is going through your mind? As all

21
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.719
this has happened? Just madness,
Like every aspect of this has just been

22
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.359
madness from start to finish. It's
something that I've dreamt of doing my whole

23
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:08.240
life, obviously, but it never
registered to me that it was something because

24
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:15.159
that could actually happen, and yet
it did. So how does this work?

25
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.919
Is this? Was that your first
time on a game show? Are

26
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.479
you someone that had wanted to go
on game shows? Are you just someone

27
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.599
who dominates trivia? Knight and your
friends are like, dude, you kind

28
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.560
of got it all down. You
should consider doing this? Is that how

29
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.560
this comes about? So? I
mean, trivia was always something that was

30
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:38.560
really something that I loved my entire
life, and I think it is something

31
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.520
that you either love or don't.
But Jeopardy is the only Dan show that

32
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.240
I've ever really wanted to be on. I mean, of course I've watched

33
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.360
sin shows my whole life, but
Jeopardy was always always the one, the

34
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.639
special one to me. So it
would kind of kind of be Jeopardy above

35
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.080
to me. Have you watched any
of The Floor on Fox starring Rob Low,

36
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.960
Okay, I've seen promos for it, and you know, once,

37
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.520
once it's all, thing is over, I mean, I could open my

38
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.960
horizons up a little bit. But
it's always been laser focused on Jeopardy for

39
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.400
me. That's funny. Kevin brings
it up because we're all kind of enamored

40
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.280
with the Floor and it's ridiculous,
but it's entertaining. It brings me to

41
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.960
this, you know. And I'm
sure you probably played a lot of Jeopardy

42
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.240
at home watching it on TV along
with the contestants, and the thing has

43
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.599
got to be, like, you're
probably really good on your couch. How

44
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:37.919
different is it once you were there
on set and the pressure of the timing

45
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.560
to not only activate your your button
at the appropriate time, but then the

46
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.520
pressure of the clock ticking for you
to get the answer right and have the

47
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.280
proper recall it just they added,
pressure has got to make it near impossible

48
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.000
to even get the answer out sometimes. How much different is it from doing

49
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.159
it on stage than it is on
your couch. I think it's one of

50
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.400
those things where if you think about
what you're doing for any length of time

51
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.680
at all, you could just be
completely lost. I mean you kind of

52
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:13.159
have to just kind of go into
survival mode and just do fast you can,

53
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.399
because yeah, like it, because
just being there with the cameras and

54
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:23.439
the crew all around you, and
you know, you're in makeup on stage

55
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.279
with the life and if you think
about any of that at all other than

56
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.279
just the clues and the responses you're
toast. Was there any Is there any

57
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.560
particular strategy that you employed or or
somebody you talked to beforehand to kind of

58
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.720
help you, you know, block
out that other stuff and just focus,

59
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.160
you know, and relax and be
in that moment and answer the questions and

60
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.079
rely on your your knowledge and instincts. Was there any kind of particular strategy

61
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.240
involved that got you prepped for that
well? I mean, I would definitely

62
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:59.360
say over preparation is going to serve
you very well in jeopardy in whatever form

63
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.800
works best for you because there are
there are tons and tons of strategies out

64
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:09.879
there or you know what to study, how to study, how to time

65
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.120
the buzzer. It's been Believe me, I bought a lot of it,

66
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.680
so I have a pretty big sampling
of it all. Yeah. Sorry,

67
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.439
this is Jared Watson from Greenville,
Texas. He's doing the Jeffary Tournament of

68
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.480
Champions on Monday. Okay, so
can you tell me how this works?

69
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.480
You won three games or four games
in a row? Right? Yeah?

70
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.639
I won three three games? Is
that what it takes to qualify for the

71
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.560
Tournament of Champions now? So the
way it has worked in the past is

72
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:46.639
winning five games automatically qualifies you for
the Tournament of the Champions. And at

73
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.959
the beginning of this year they said
that everyone that had won score games was

74
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.079
also going to go to the Tournament
Champions. And then they announced these champions

75
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:03.040
wild card tournaments that were new for
this season to where every player that has

76
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.920
won at least one game would get
a chance to come back and compete for

77
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:13.839
a spot in the tournament the Champion. So and that had actually been announced

78
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.759
in between my my appearances, So
I was I knew one way or another.

79
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.399
I was probably going to come back
in some form, but I assumed

80
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:30.720
it was for the champions wild Cards. So then, unbeknownst to me,

81
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.759
Jeopardy reached out to CBS eleven in
Dallas and said, Hey, can you

82
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:41.920
come on and do an interview talking
about your experience on Jeopardy? And I

83
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.319
was like, oh, yeah,
sure, yeah, I'll come on.

84
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.439
Do you ever put on grout,
show marks, glasses and show ups at

85
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.319
freaks who drink events and just rack
up bar tabs? You know? The

86
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.160
funny thing is, I think I
look kind of generic enough that I really

87
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.959
don't get recognized or bothered too much
out in the world. I just kind

88
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.240
of looks like a big ball guy. I mean, I'm joking, I'm

89
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.879
joking, but do you ever play
Do you ever get up get together with

90
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.319
your friends as the ringer for their
trivia group and play in like these fun

91
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.360
little bar trivia games and stuff like
that. I mean, I am planning

92
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.319
on going to DC this summer for
just like a failed vacation, and I'm

93
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.199
definitely planning on meeting up with some
of my other Jeopardy contestant friends and going

94
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.680
and beating up on some unsuspected trivia
mortals. That sounds so fun, fun

95
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.720
your brain. Yes, Jared,
I have a couple of specific questions about

96
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.439
Jeopardy itself because I play at home
and I think I read fast and that

97
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.720
gives me a little bit bit of
an advantage. And I always wondered,

98
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.439
are you just audibly getting the clues
or can you read along when they pop

99
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.000
up? Good question. So the
way that works is the board is the

100
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.439
way that you would picture it at
home, Like the clue appears on the

101
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.839
spot on the board, on the
screen, on the board where the dollar

102
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.160
amount was. So it actually kind
of is an advantage or a disadvantage depending

103
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.720
on your situation of being able to
read that from across the room. People

104
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.959
typically don't have problems with that,
but you know, if you've got eagle

105
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.040
eye vision, I think you do
have a little bit of an advantage there

106
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.839
because it's just as big as that
TV monitor basically, But you get that,

107
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.639
and then you also get the host
reading the quote. So could you

108
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.600
read them when they popped up?
And are you reading ahead of the host

109
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.679
voice and giving you a millisecond advantage? Oh? Yeah, No, that

110
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.440
that's critical, Like it's as quickly
as you can read it, read it,

111
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.000
because that just gives you that much
more time to process that you try

112
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.080
and figure out what the response should
be. So and every millisecond counts on

113
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.960
differenty for sure. My second question
is that Jeopardy features some incredibly smart people,

114
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.679
but whenever they have to either write
their name or write their answers and

115
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.519
Final Jeopardy, they look borderline illiterate. How hard is it on some like

116
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.919
curved screen and whatever writing implement they
give you, Is it just impossible to

117
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.039
write legibly? Yeah? Well just
imagine, you know, like you ever

118
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.679
go to like a checkout counter or
something and you have to like sign your

119
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.279
name for a credit card or something
like that. Yes, it's basically like

120
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.960
that, where you are trying to
make something legible, and when you're writing

121
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.120
the name at the beginning of the
episode, they can give you a couple

122
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.519
of crafts at it. It didn't
come out the way you want. But

123
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.960
yeah, when you're writing Final Jeopardy
for one, you got you got thirty

124
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.159
seconds start to finish anyway. Yeah, so you're just trying to get it

125
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.840
out as fast as you can.
But yeah, it's that's that's one of

126
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.600
the underrated difficulties of being on the
show Jeopardy. Do you turn thement?

127
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.519
Old champions can test it? Jared
Watson of Greenville, Texas joining us now

128
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.320
on ninety seven to one the Freak. This is a question that I bet

129
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.279
is on a lot of people's minds, and it's probably question that's been answered

130
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.039
a million times, but I want
your perspective on it. What is the

131
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.159
ultimate strategy for buzzing in? And
what are the penalties? How does the

132
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.519
whole buzz in method work? Because
I've heard that if you hit it once

133
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.519
or or if somebody hits it,
you're locked out. Or if you hit

134
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.679
it before the answer or the answer
is given, you're locked out. Kind

135
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.720
of run us through that whole process, and what is your specific strategy if

136
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.519
you can disclose that? Okay,
So the way it works is you have

137
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.399
to wait until the host reads the
entire clue before you can buzz in.

138
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:43.159
And what people don't see watching at
home is there are actually rows of lights

139
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:50.360
on either side of the game board
that light up when it's time to buzz

140
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.480
it, and if you buzz it
before that life comes up, you're locked

141
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.360
out for a quarter second, which
doesn't sound like a lot of time,

142
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.399
but it's plenty of time for your
opponents to buzz it incredible. And there

143
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.879
are two distinct schools that thought about
the buzz and strategy is one is to

144
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.720
try and time it off of the
host and like try and get it to

145
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.240
where when he reaches the end of
the word, you buzz in. And

146
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.480
the other strategy is to wait and
look for the lights. Probably hard to

147
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.039
look at the light when you're reading
the question, though right it can be.

148
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.919
But I did find that waiting on
the lights was the strategy that worked

149
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.360
for me. And I think I'm
kind of in the minority on that because

150
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:37.279
I think people just try and time
the voice. But I have to say

151
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.000
that waiting on the lights really did
work for me, and it made a

152
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.639
big difference. Actually, in the
first game that I had, my very

153
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:50.279
first game, I was getting locked
out basically the entire first round because I

154
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.759
was buzzing into early. I was
trying to time the voice, but switching

155
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.919
it up and waiting for the lights
that is kind of what was the turning

156
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.679
point for me to come back and
win that game. Do they have a

157
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.360
technical assistant that realizes that's what you're
doing and we'll come up and advise you

158
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.720
and say, Jared, you're hitting
the damn button too early. Layoff,

159
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.240
bro. He did actually almost exactly
that, maybe not quite in those words,

160
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.759
but they did come up and say, hey, Jared, and you

161
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.039
are coming in a little early because
they want everybody to do as well as

162
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.080
they can, and they don't want
the technology to be the reason that you

163
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.080
succeed or fail, So they want
everybody to do their best stuff on stage.

164
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.200
You every really can't say enough for
how well they treat us from start

165
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.559
to finish in this whole process.
This is a Jared Watson. He's gonna

166
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.440
be on Jeopardy Monday night and the
Tournament of Champions. He's from Greenville,

167
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.200
DFW guy here now Jared, I'm
Kevin. That's Danny, And now Mike

168
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.159
is a he's a wealth of knowledge
too, like he knows a lot of

169
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.799
random trivia. And I just want
to throw this out here because I have

170
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.879
your like from the past games that
you won back in season thirty nine last

171
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.399
year. The final Jeopardy question.
I'm going to ask Mike this and just

172
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.600
see if he gets it, just
to see because I think Mike, Jared,

173
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.759
well, it's not Jared's already answered. He won by answering this.

174
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.399
I've told you before I'm good at
teen jeopardy. Well, let's see.

175
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.399
I excel is dunking one year olds. I dominate a teen jeopardy. I

176
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.399
don't do adult jeopardy. I don't
play this. In Jared's first victory,

177
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.919
though he won on the final jeopardy, was this question the capital my country

178
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.639
names? Okay, okay, Islamabad. Islamabad is the capital of this Islamic

179
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:43.559
Republic of Just no, it wasn't
Islamabad. I'm gonna use my lifeline and

180
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.320
I choose Jared. Jared, do
you remember how you won episode one?

181
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.360
Of course? Oh? Yeah,
it's that is that is the capital of

182
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.799
the country of Pakistan. He's the
Islamic Republic. He's like, not only

183
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.600
do I remember it? I know
it. Don't you remember when they were

184
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:05.159
chasing Yeah, I do have a
little story about that. When I was

185
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.480
on the plane back from Jeopardy,
I was just looking at because I have

186
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.279
a bunch of h digital flash cards
that with my study material, and one

187
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.960
of the cards that popped up on
the plane was in my world capital's deck

188
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.480
was Pakistani's Lamba Bat and I took
a screenshot of it. It was like,

189
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.559
Ah, that is the card that
just won me fourteen thousand dollars,

190
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.399
and so I had to kind of
commemorate that. That's so great. I

191
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.320
have a friend who was on who
wants to be a millionaire and burn in

192
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.879
his head forever the question that got
him yeah, and the ones he had

193
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.960
to burn a phone, a friend
and everything on. So I imagine for

194
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.720
you it's both sides, either ones
you missed or hell, the ones that

195
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.000
won you the game. You are
not that you would have forgotten them otherwise,

196
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.840
but you're going to have those things
locked in forever. Oh. I

197
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.039
still anytime Nato comes up in any
context, that was the clue that bounced

198
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.480
me out on my fourth game,
I still feel a little bit of like,

199
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.960
uh yeah, just hearing about it. How okay, So when you

200
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.480
when you finish and you've accumulated your
your your winnings, you know you're winning

201
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.200
total. How do they pay you? Do they give you one of those

202
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.440
gigantic checks? Do they venmo you
cash apt? How does that work?

203
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.879
How do you how do you finally
get paid? They act they mail you

204
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.720
a a paper check. It just
shows up in your mailbox, and is

205
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.159
it for the amount that you want
or they already take out a FIKA and

206
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.720
all that other crap too, So
they they deduct California State tactics. But

207
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.519
other than that, they pay you
to pull them ount and they leave it

208
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.360
to you to claim it determine what
that means for you as far as tastes.

209
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.080
That's awesome. That must have been
a fun day at the at the

210
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.720
mailbox. Huh you take that out
well? And another thing was it was

211
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.000
when I found out that my credit
union will accept a digital deposit for the

212
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.120
amount of that check, so I
actually have to keep it and then I'm

213
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.360
gonna frame it once this is all
over. Oh that's cool. I think

214
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.600
that's when you take to the bank
and wink at the teller. Oh that

215
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.399
yeah. I got that on MERV. Griffin sent me that. I called

216
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.600
him ahead of time and it was
like, this is going to sound really

217
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.240
weird, but I was contestant on
the game show and I have to check

218
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.360
and I would really like to keep
it, and they're like, just just

219
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.600
do an online deposit. Take a
picture of it. Jared, have you

220
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:34.600
ever met anupama? Do you know
anupama? I can't see that. I

221
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:41.799
do. She is one of the
very famous Jeopardy fails where it was a

222
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.080
sports thing. We talk a lot
of sports and they asked for something and

223
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.840
she gets the team and the wrong
sport. I mean, you know,

224
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.240
Jeopardy fails. I imagine you're trying
to avoid becoming on a Jeopardy Fail reel

225
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.039
as much as you're trying to win
these damn things. Yeah, well and

226
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:59.519
I do. I definitely got on
one because I said that the capital is

227
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:07.440
the still A teams was Tokyo.
Well we all know that it's Houston,

228
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:14.319
of course, Jared. So look
we're all Metroplex. Uh, normal men

229
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.160
here, normal innocent men here.
And this segment is sponsored by Alamo Draft

230
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.440
House Cinema, five locations in the
Metroplex, and you can get tickets to

231
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.400
see Demolition Man with the Speakeasy at
ninety seven one the Freak dot Com.

232
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.400
But another thing they also have at
Alamo Draft House Cinema is a trivia night.

233
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.240
And we've been kind of kicking it
around, like, hey, one

234
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.400
Tuesday night or whatever night it is, go over to the bar and let's

235
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.960
have a little trivia action. And
I think I think it would be awesome

236
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.720
if you just like, we'll we'll
pick up your tab. I'll even burst

237
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.720
you for gas money. I don't
care. You walk in through the doors

238
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:51.640
with the downbeat on Trivia Night.
We strutting there in slow motion and we

239
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.559
smoke everyone because we got the secret
weapon. What do you think you know?

240
00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:00.519
Joined forces with the downbeat on Trivia
Night at Alamo draft outs. You

241
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.000
had me pick up the tab?
All right? Yeah man, this is

242
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.160
genius. This is like getting Scottie
Shuffler on your scramble team. Yes,

243
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.160
kids cheating and I love it.
Let's go, well, it'll be fun.

244
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.880
We could even challenge. We'll say
the night in the location and people

245
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.240
can come in and challenge. Come
take off, you beat us, we

246
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.160
give you a prize. You beat
us with Jared, then it's off college

247
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.319
baseball tickets. Just gonna be us
three looking at our phones and Jared just

248
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:32.000
crushing, slamming home runs everywhere.
Let's me shut up. Unless the category

249
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.799
is what was it last night?
Brands of bass guitar strings? Yeah exactly,

250
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.480
might I might get to actually have
a have an offering. I would

251
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.240
actually do really well in that category. But what is your what's your night?

252
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.440
You got the Tournament Champions again.
This is Jared Man. He's gonna

253
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.160
be on the Tournament Champions Monday.
What's your nightmare? Realistic Jeopardy category?

254
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:59.079
What's your dream and nightmare? If
they're popping up? So I think my

255
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:06.680
dream category is anything to do with
like rock music before the year two thousand.

256
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.759
Okay, Danny okay? Jared told
me I used to listen to the

257
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.279
Eagle back in the day. Okay, right on? Okay, So I

258
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.880
did. Yeah, it was my
favorite station growing up, and we ran

259
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:22.440
him off at the format. Sorry, stick around, Jared, Gota gotta

260
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:29.200
move with the time. But my
nightmare category, well, actually I'd had

261
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.640
a nightmare category in my very first
game, which was an entire category that

262
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.839
was just about fashion, and that's
about as far from my skill set as

263
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.039
you can get. So I kind
of got that out of the way early,

264
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.480
thankfully. That's fascinating. I could
whip Jared with questions all day.

265
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.079
I do have one, yeah,
real quick, so I don't recall.

266
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.839
I'm honestly, I don't know what
you look like. I'm gonna look you

267
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:59.519
up and see if I've seen you
in your in your appearance previously on Jeopardy,

268
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.480
did you ever get to clear the
entire line of clear category before and

269
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.039
if so, that's got to be
a pretty good feeling when it's just like

270
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.880
bam bam, bam bam bam aced
it. Yeah. So the funny thing

271
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.599
about that is is I did run
the category in my last game, and

272
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.400
it just kind of came and went
because it didn't get commented on them.

273
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.119
They might stop and do a pause
or anything like they do often when a

274
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.839
contestant runs a category to the point
that I didn't even realize that I did

275
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.440
it until I went back and watched
the game. It's like, hey,

276
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.880
wait, I got all five of
those. They didn't do anything, So

277
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.079
that's cool. Man. Well,
Jared, best of luck. I've got

278
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.079
your numbers. So don't think that
we're going to be strangers. We're going

279
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.759
to be reaching out. He's just
saying yes to be nice. He's not

280
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:55.440
showing up to listeners coordinate a team
and try to like, we have a

281
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.440
prize. If they can knock us
off, they would get a prize.

282
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.640
Yeah that's good, that's good bit, and then they can get whatever ringer

283
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.279
that they want. That's what.
Yeah, that's wacky radio stuff. Mat

284
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.359
just have a feeling that that Jared's
going to block your number after this is

285
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:15.400
over. What's possibly should Vikey and
I both did? Jared will be watching

286
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.440
you on Monday night. I'll say
it this way. Best of luck the

287
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:26.279
tournament champions. In our business,
we say retro good luck, retroactive good

288
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.359
luck. Yeah, I retroactive.
Good luck to you, my man,

289
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.480
Jared, you're the man. Hey, what's the capital of Lithuania? Oh?

290
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.200
Billion? Damn right, it's that's
good. This guy's my guy.

291
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.319
All right, hold on, no, no, all right, Jared?

292
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:47.400
What what brand of bass guitar strings
did James Jamison famously wear and and use

293
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:55.920
and never change? Oh? Dang? Is it like? Maybe? Oh

294
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.559
I'm sorry, Jared, you're gonna
have to go home and you lost all

295
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.519
your money on that daily double.
No, it would be Labella Labella flat

296
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.880
Wallace. Yes, yes, so
if that comes up on Monday, yep,

297
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.720
you've got got that in your hip
to go. Since Danny bullet him,

298
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.000
Yeah, now he's not even to
shut up. Question ruin a radio

299
