I almost forgot to post this one. But that probably doesn't reflect on the quality of the episode, right? I just forgot what day it was. But that probably doesn't reflect on me as a person or the type of life I live, right? It's just normal stuff. Could happen to anyone. It probably has happened to Scott Aukerman like 9 million times. Yep he probably forgot to post Comedy Bang Bang 9 million times. That explains why he's in magazines and I'm sitting in my computer chair nudely.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Welcome to Night City, chooms, where the sky is red, the rent is due, your landlord is probably armed, and health care arrives by helicopter only if your credit score has a body count. In this episode, Ash introduces Randall and Tyler to Cyberpunk Red, a game about surviving late-stage capitalism after it bought a katana, installed cyberlegs, and decided empathy was bad for quarterly growth. The internet is dead, the new internet is haunted, corporations have private armies, your apartment is a cargo container, and if you get shot badly enough, your best hope is that Trauma Team thinks your subscription tier is worth the bullets. So chrome up, talk before you glock, and remember: in Cyberpunk, the future is not here to save you. It is here to invoice you. Cyberpunk: RED Core Rulebook (affiliate link) Show Notes This RPGBOT.Podcast Quickstart kicks off our Cyberpunk Red arc, with Ash taking the GM chair and immediately shoving Randall and Tyler into a glittering corporate hellscape where every system has failed except capitalism, which unfortunately got promoted. This is the concepts and themes episode, so before anyone gets to build a tragic little neon goblin with a gun, Ash walks us through the setting, the history, the tone, and the important survival lesson that being cool does not make you bulletproof. The episode starts in peak RPGBOT fashion: no one is ready, Producer Dan scares the cast, Evil RPGBOT becomes a conspiracy board, and the crew somehow detours through Taylor Swift, soccer, the metric system, and America's inability to understand that a third of a pound is bigger than a quarter. Eventually, because someone has to be the adult and it sure is not going to be capitalism, Ash drags everyone into Cyberpunk Red. Cyberpunk Red takes place in 2045, during the Time of Red, after the Fourth Corporate War and the pocket-nuke-sized corporate tantrum that helped turn Night City into a smoldering lesson in why companies should not have militaries. The old Net is gone, rogue AIs lurk behind the Black Wall, and the new Net is a bunch of local data structures that Netrunners have to physically approach because apparently even hacking needed to become a contact sport. Mechanically, the game runs on D10 checks and D6 damage, which sounds friendly right up until someone explains combat. Fights are fast, violent, and deeply uninterested in your character arc. Armor helps until it gets chewed apart. Critical injuries can cost you limbs, senses, or dignity. Death saves are less a dramatic countdown and more a paperwork-light way of saying congratulations, you lived long enough to regret this. Ash also digs into Netrunning, Black ICE, cyberware, humanity loss, and cyberpsychosis. Netrunners are basically hackers with a death wish and a brain cable. Black ICE is corporate malware that wants to delete either your programs or your thoughts. Cyberware lets you replace your sad meat parts with upgrades, but too much chrome can eat away at your humanity until you become less person and more violent product recall. By the end, Cyberpunk Red comes across as stylish, brutal, roleplay-heavy, and aggressively allergic to the idea that anyone is having a good time for free. It is a game about survival, reputation, scarcity, and looking incredible while the world collapses around you. Next up: character creation, where Tyler will almost certainly try to become some kind of cyber-wizard trash gremlin and everyone will pretend to be surprised. Key Takeaways Cyberpunk Red is set in 2045 during the Time of Red, which is what happens when the future catches fire and nobody with money feels personally inconvenienced enough to fix it. The setting is corporate dystopia with the safety rails removed. Governments are weak, corporations are terrifying, and basic human needs have been turned into subscription models with worse customer service. The old Net is dead because a vengeful hacker released digital nightmares into the system. Now the Black Wall keeps the murder-AIs in the internet basement, where they are definitely fine and nothing bad will ever happen. The new Net is localized, which means Netrunners have to get physically close to access points. Hacking is no longer safely done from your couch. Now it comes with floor plans and gunfire. The core system is simple: roll a D10, add your stat and skill, and try to beat the difficulty. The consequences, however, are very committed to ruining your evening. Combat is deadly, fast, and rude. Armor degrades, bullets hurt, and the game strongly encourages the sacred cyberpunk tradition of not starting a gunfight unless you are ready to become street decor. Critical injuries are nasty. Cyberpunk Red does not ask whether you are emotionally attached to your arm before it starts making suggestions. Trauma Team can save you, but only if you can afford the good plan. In Night City, even emergency rescue has premium tiers, because of course it does. Netrunners are terrifying little brain-goblins who can hack systems, fight programs, and potentially ruin someone's cyberware from the inside. They are cool, useful, and absolutely one bad roll away from becoming soup. Cyberware is powerful and stylish, but it has a humanity cost. Replace too much of yourself and the game starts asking whether you are still a person or just a problem with optics. Cyberpsychosis is not just a punishment for wanting cool robot arms. The episode points out that the game treats medical prosthetics and elective combat chrome differently, which gives the system more nuance than just metal parts make you evil. Cyberpunk Red is roleplay-forward. Rent, lifestyle, jobs, reputation, hustle, and survival all matter. You are not just adventuring. You are trying to make it to next month without being evicted, harvested, hacked, shot, or monetized. The next episode moves into character creation using the Edgerunner method, because apparently everyone agreed that dying in Night City should at least be efficient. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Welcome to Pandemonium, the plane where the wind screams, gravity is a rumor, and every emergency exit has a reasonable chance of dropping you directly into the Abyss. Tyler explains the cosmology, Randall attempts to locate something resembling a usable map, Ash discovers that the wind is made from every scream anyone has ever screamed, and Producer Dan quietly realizes this entire episode will require aggressive noise reduction. Pack darkvision, ear protection, and a backup character. The weather is hostile, the architecture hates you, and even the demons would rather be somewhere else. Show Notes This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we descend into Pandemonium, the endlessly dark maze of caves where hurricane-force winds carry ancient voices, communication is nearly impossible, and prolonged exposure can leave travelers deaf, insane, or both. The crew explores the plane's four layers, from the enormous caverns of Pandesmos to the narrowing tunnels of Cocytus, the marginally more gravity-compliant Phlegethon, and the sealed chambers of Agathion, where forgotten horrors wait patiently for some adventurer with a shovel and poor judgment. Along the way, we examine Pandemonium's strange inhabitants, exiled gods, nihilistic settlements, bizarre monsters, and oddly specific afterlives. We also follow the River Styx, investigate portals that treat destinations as optional suggestions, and discover a magical shouting spot that lets you insult someone anywhere in the multiverse, provided invisible shadow demons do not eat you first. Finally, the episode turns to using spells against player characters. The hosts discuss why illusion magic becomes terrifying in the hands of a villain, how Pass Without Trace can transform ordinary goblins into a tactical nightmare, and why Dungeon Masters should give enemy spellcasters clever strategies without simply making the players miserable. RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes The Abyss Arborea Archeron Arcadia The Beastlands Bytopia Carceri Celestia Elysium The Ethereal Plane The Feywild Gehenna Hades Hell Part 1 Hell Part 2 Limbo Mechanus Pandemonium Plane of Air Plane of Fire Shadowfell Key Takeaways Pandemonium is an environmental threat before combat even begins. Darkness, deafening winds, madness, and unpredictable gravity can challenge a party without requiring constant monster encounters. The plane contains four layers: Pandesmos, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Agathion. Each becomes more difficult to navigate, survive, or pronounce. The wind does more than make noise. It carries voices, screams, threats, and other sounds from across history, creating an endless supernatural chorus capable of destroying a traveler's sanity. Navigation is nearly impossible when characters can walk along cave walls and ceilings and rivers can flow in whatever direction they feel like flowing. Most of Pandemonium's inhabitants are exiles, prisoners, refugees, or creatures that arrived accidentally and cannot leave. Nobody appears to have moved there because of the excellent schools. Agathion's sealed pockets make excellent prisons, vaults, and adventure locations for ancient beings that absolutely should not be awakened. The River Styx and Pandemonium's portals provide possible escape routes, but memory loss, random destinations, and ambush predators make every option terrible in a different way. Pandemonium works best when the plane itself feels like the primary antagonist. The monsters should be additional complications, not the only source of danger. Enemy illusionists can create memorable encounters, but Dungeon Masters should apply the same standards to NPC illusions that they apply to player illusions. Smart enemies using stealth, terrain, traps, and spells such as Pass Without Trace can turn supposedly weak creatures into serious threats without artificially increasing their statistics.

We ponder the existence of multiple Unabombers on this week's episode as Caleb Groen enters the imperial phase of his superchamp run, which is to say, not a lot happens this week other than Caleb dominating. Caleb also has an anecdote that makes John insecure about his own intelligence, we learn about a word Jeopardy! apparently doesn't use on set, and we get a Name of the Year contender.

They should make more Star Wars movies. And by “they”, I guess I mean “whoever the fuck feels like it”. Hey it can't be any worse than Rise of Skywalker, can it? Well, I thought that movie was decent. So it probably can be worse than that. Scary Movie was worse than it. So it stands to reason that other things could be as well. I'm guessing that being one of those guys who shows up to the ER saying he slipped and fell on a barbie doll in the shower and it went all the way up his ass and he can't get it out is worse than Episode 9, also, from what I have read in various journals and documents. Speaking of which, I have to go work on some documents right now! Ah, I'd love to talk more about this or anything else but I simply don't have the time. Documents await!

Look, I'm tired as hell for this one. Let's just agree that we talked about pee and poop the normal amount, we weren't too mean, it was just boring enough to go to sleep to but not so dull that you wanna unsubscribe from the show, and we obviously don't have depression. Plus, something funny happened, and Dan/A Listener/person experiencing mania made a surprisingly salient point. And nobody important died.

Before the rogues can reach legendary proficiency, the episode must first survive the real high-level threats: Producer Dan being sleepy, Tyler's aggressively early bedtime policy, Ash explaining the freedom of having no kids, a Starfinder boss who walks through space walls, and the devastating possibility that a spider might disrupt Tyler's routine. Once everyone finally remembers this is supposed to be a Pathfinder 2e rogue episode, the party returns to levels 11 through 20, where rogues stop being "sneaky knife people" and become invisible, paralyzing, truth-proof, pants-stealing engines of felony. Show Notes This episode continues the RPGBOT.Podcast Pathfinder 2e rogue build series, picking up at level 11 and carrying the Mastermind, Scoundrel, and Ruffian builds all the way to level 20. Tyler, Ash, and Randall revisit their characters and explore what happens when rogues move beyond "I stab the off-guard guy" and into "I delete actions, rewrite memories, steal impossible objects, ignore magical detection, and turn violence into a pyramid scheme." Tyler's Mastermind continues to lean into Recall Knowledge, ranged support, and battlefield control. His rogue knows things about things, then stabs those things, then tells his friends how to stab those things better. Randall's Ruffian keeps building into the direct approach: intimidation, bleed, debilitating strikes, reactive setups, and the wonderful simplicity of punching someone so effectively that an ally also gets to hit them. Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel doubles down on deception, stealth, social nonsense, and the extremely upsetting power to convince someone that he has secretly been part of their life the whole time. The mid-level progression brings several major rogue upgrades. Critical Debilitation and Bloody Debilitation add nasty new rider effects. Greater Rogue Reflexes turns Reflex saves into a comedy routine where explosions are mostly someone else's problem. Double Debilitation lets rogues stack problems on top of problems. Master Strike gives rogues a terrifying late-game opener that can paralyze, knock unconscious, or kill a target if the dice cooperate. The episode also highlights how wild high-level skill feats become. Reveal Machinations lets Ash emotionally destroy someone by claiming to be their secret dad. Scare to Death lets Randall intimidate people so hard their hearts may simply quit. Legendary Thief opens the door to absurd theft, including the possibility of stealing weapons, armor, or, naturally, pants. Blank Slate makes Ash so good at lying that divination magic simply refuses to perceive him. True Perception gets called out as a must-have, because permanent true sight is extremely hard to argue with. By level 20, everyone converges on Enduring Debilitation because sometimes the correct answer is obvious. Extending a debilitation for a full minute is brutal, especially when it means a boss might lose a third of their actions for most of a fight. The hosts also shout out other capstone-style options like Hidden Paragon, Steel Essence, Perfect Distraction, Reactive Distraction, and Craft Anything, showing that high-level rogues can be invisible legends, impossible thieves, decoy-swapping nightmares, or walking item factories. In classic RPGBOT fashion, the episode is equal parts mechanical breakdown, build advice, and conversational derailment. It is a guide to high-level rogues, but it is also a warning: once a rogue reaches legendary proficiency, the laws of physics, social trust, and basic workplace safety are all optional. Key Takeaways This episode covers Pathfinder 2e rogues from levels 11 through 20, continuing the three builds from Part 1: Tyler's Mastermind, Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel, and Randall's Ruffian. High-level rogues become much more than sneak attackers. They gain stronger saves, better weapon proficiency, powerful debilitations, absurd skill feats, and some truly ridiculous capstone options. Incredible Scout is a strong party-facing general feat because it can improve initiative for the whole group when using the Scout exploration activity. Critical Debilitation is a standout level 12 option because slowed is one of the nastiest conditions in Pathfinder 2e, and even a success can still matter. Bloody Debilitation gives rogues a straightforward damage option by adding significant persistent bleed damage. Greater Rogue Reflexes makes rogues extremely hard to punish with Reflex-based effects, especially combined with their already strong Reflex progression. Leave an Opening is excellent for team damage because it lets an ally make a reactive strike when the rogue critically hits an off-guard target. Double Debilitation lets rogues apply two debilitations at once, but the interaction matters. If one debilitation ends, both end, so sometimes one strong debilitation is better than stacking. Reveal Machinations is one of the funniest skill feats discussed. Ash frames it as convincing an enemy that you have secretly been their father, mentor, or recurring trauma goblin all along. Scare to Death is both mechanically useful and hilarious. Even when it does not kill something outright, frightened conditions are still valuable. Dispelling Slice gives rogues a way to make casters sad by cutting through active magical effects on an off-guard target. Legendary Thief opens up absurd theft possibilities, including stealing things that should be impossible to steal under normal circumstances. Blank Slate is peak Scoundrel nonsense. Ash becomes so good at deception that detection, revelation, and scrying magic can simply fail to notice him. Powerful Sneak makes Sneak Attack more reliable by helping against precision immunity or resistance and improving low sneak attack damage rolls. Master Strike is a terrifying level 19 feature that lets rogues add a major incapacitating effect when they damage an off-guard target. True Perception gets called out as an incredible general feat because constant true sight is useful on almost any character who can qualify. Enduring Debilitation is the big level 20 winner. Making a debilitation last for a full minute can dramatically change a boss fight. Hidden Paragon, Steel Essence, Craft Anything, Perfect Distraction, and Reactive Distraction show how high-level rogues can specialize into legendary stealth, impossible theft, crafting absurdity, or decoy-based nonsense. The Mastermind becomes a knowledge-based support striker, the Ruffian becomes a fear-and-bleed melee bully, and the Scoundrel becomes a deception-fueled social and stealth menace. The real lesson: high-level rogues do not just break into places. They break action economy, memories, magic detection, enemy confidence, and possibly the pants economy.

Before the rogues can reach legendary proficiency, the episode must first survive the real high-level threats: Producer Dan being sleepy, Tyler's aggressively early bedtime policy, Ash explaining the freedom of having no kids, a Starfinder boss who walks through space walls, and the devastating possibility that a spider might disrupt Tyler's routine. Once everyone finally remembers this is supposed to be a Pathfinder 2e rogue episode, the party returns to levels 11 through 20, where rogues stop being "sneaky knife people" and become invisible, paralyzing, truth-proof, pants-stealing engines of felony. Show Notes This episode continues the RPGBOT.Podcast Pathfinder 2e rogue build series, picking up at level 11 and carrying the Mastermind, Scoundrel, and Ruffian builds all the way to level 20. Tyler, Ash, and Randall revisit their characters and explore what happens when rogues move beyond "I stab the off-guard guy" and into "I delete actions, rewrite memories, steal impossible objects, ignore magical detection, and turn violence into a pyramid scheme." Tyler's Mastermind continues to lean into Recall Knowledge, ranged support, and battlefield control. His rogue knows things about things, then stabs those things, then tells his friends how to stab those things better. Randall's Ruffian keeps building into the direct approach: intimidation, bleed, debilitating strikes, reactive setups, and the wonderful simplicity of punching someone so effectively that an ally also gets to hit them. Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel doubles down on deception, stealth, social nonsense, and the extremely upsetting power to convince someone that he has secretly been part of their life the whole time. The mid-level progression brings several major rogue upgrades. Critical Debilitation and Bloody Debilitation add nasty new rider effects. Greater Rogue Reflexes turns Reflex saves into a comedy routine where explosions are mostly someone else's problem. Double Debilitation lets rogues stack problems on top of problems. Master Strike gives rogues a terrifying late-game opener that can paralyze, knock unconscious, or kill a target if the dice cooperate. The episode also highlights how wild high-level skill feats become. Reveal Machinations lets Ash emotionally destroy someone by claiming to be their secret dad. Scare to Death lets Randall intimidate people so hard their hearts may simply quit. Legendary Thief opens the door to absurd theft, including the possibility of stealing weapons, armor, or, naturally, pants. Blank Slate makes Ash so good at lying that divination magic simply refuses to perceive him. True Perception gets called out as a must-have, because permanent true sight is extremely hard to argue with. By level 20, everyone converges on Enduring Debilitation because sometimes the correct answer is obvious. Extending a debilitation for a full minute is brutal, especially when it means a boss might lose a third of their actions for most of a fight. The hosts also shout out other capstone-style options like Hidden Paragon, Steel Essence, Perfect Distraction, Reactive Distraction, and Craft Anything, showing that high-level rogues can be invisible legends, impossible thieves, decoy-swapping nightmares, or walking item factories.

Much like a certain Jeopardy! category, we are BULGING with content this week as we say goodbye to superchamp Adam Remsen and we get one of the games of the season in the wake of his farewell to the Alex Trebek Stage. Plus, some olds online get weird about Ken on vacation, Ken has one of his cattier moments of the season, and we dive deep (sort of) on Lin-Manuel Miranda. If you want to dive deep on one of this year's superchamps, why not join the Patreon? Tristan Williams joined us for a fantastic and wide-ranging interview that covered his time on the ATS, watching his ToC bye slip through his fingers, and his unique prep. It was a hilarious and candid interview you won't wanna miss! Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast. SOURCE: The New Yorker: "A Hip-Hop Hamilton" by Rebecca Mead.

All I want to talk about is the shit wizards…but I know that I can't! Obviously they would use a big turd as a wand – but, again, I can't talk about that right now. I need to, instead, focus on the important things, such as a podcast about Apple products. So that would probably be about the iPad or whatever, and who came up with the buttons on it and so forth. That's one episode of it. Another one might be the iPhone, I guess. The shit wizard would be wrapped in toilet paper, which is really not relevant to things like boots that can heat up themselves or an AI guitar. And there is frankly no time at all to discuss whether or not they would be named things like Gandalf the White Dog Poop. We just simply have too much to doo doo!

I hate my headphones. There's no pictures on them!! Or it can't take pictures, or something! The point is, I really hate my headphones. And I think the only way to solve this problem is to not buy headphones from one of the, like, 3 or maybe 5 headphones companies in the entire world, but just some guy. That will improve my life!

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.

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.

What is this episode even about? Well, what do YOU want it to be about? With just a few taps. You can personalize your YKS episode to be about your favorite topic, customized for the day of the week, or even make a super duper special one for your birthday! That's right, an episode of YKS all about your special day. Mike opens up the episode (how unusual!) by singing “Happy Birthday”, using the traditional melody, when all of a sudden Producer Dan jumps in with his super cool traphop remix. And when Howell makes a special appearance, you know this karaoke birthday party is just getting started! Then it's time for presents, cake, and group photos to make sure this memory lasts a lifetime. Then JF walks in to clean up and everyone takes turns spitting on him and kicking. It gets pretty violent. That's a lot of blood.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it's making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they're raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don't know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention they have opposable thumbs, right? So they can handle weapons or draw strategic diagrams. They might even be able to disarm us, if we don't use proper form. But now you're telling me they're on crack as well – which is still a drug, mind you – a drug which can have certain effects on those who consume it. Being that it's the raccoons what consumed it, it stands to reason that the critters have become even less predictable than they already were. Not for nothing, but I was having a hard time predicting what they were gonna do anyway. Now with the crack, it's anybody's guess. I wish we hadn't found ourselves in this situation, but it is what it is. Maybe if we had had the crack on our side, or maybe if we were the raccoons, things would've turned out different. All I can hope for now is that my grandmother gets a robot to talk to her until she dies, and Teslas get a heads-up display. And maybe…just maybe, if we pray hard enough, some 40 year old guy will go watch a baseball game. God willing.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Oh ho ho well if it isn't probably the 4th or 5th time I've started an episode description out with “Oh ho ho”. It's weird because I do not talk like this in real life.

Tristan Williams cements his superchamp status this week...just in time to lose it to Chris D'Angelo, who begins a little run of his own after a fortuitous math error in Final works out in his favor. Also this week, we get a quintessential Canadian contestant we love, Ken puts in a very strong nominee for Ken's Korner of the Year, and we dive deep on Sputnik. Plus, "Quiz Lady" writer and producer Jen D'Angelo–who also happens to be Chris' sister–sends in a note about finally being able to watch her brother play on Jeopardy! after years of him trying and how he inspired the genesis of "Quiz Lady" in the first place.

It's Friday, and that means a Friday Feedback pod. Today some great questions and a number of whacks for the team...ouch....but we start the show with a Friday Feedback jingle, should we keep it or dump it? We'll whack a poll up on Twitter, whatever the Wolfpack say goes.Onto the feedback....Jonny reckons we missed a few obvious nicknames in our chat last week, a couple of 'animal inspired' ones, and Aussie golf legend Mike Harwood's nickname, Mark tells the story of how it came about and the fellow pro who christened him with it.John then points out one of Mark's old nicknames, which he thinks The Ox came up with - however it wasn't him, but another very famous AFL footballer, and Mark explains how it came about.Mathew has a question on Peninsula Kingswood.Then some whacks. Jerry has a crack at both Nick and Mark over one aspect of the show, and Steven has a go for pretty much the same reason.....do Nick and Mark cop the criticism or hit back ?Jeff then has a great story about a day out many years ago at The Australian Masters watching some big names on the range, and what he watched (and listened to them) doing.Craig heard us chatting last week about seagulls pinching golf balls and has a story about seeing a crow nudging a ball on a green in the UK and what happened.AFL superstar Matty Richardson chimed in on the video we shared last week of Bubba Watson critiquing his swing, and whilst talking footy, apparently Nick has been hanging around Mark's team Collingwood lately, and Mark is a little concerned about whether Nick might be giving them dodgy advice. Every chance.AB comes off a long run and gives Nick and Mark a whack about LIV, but not for the reasons you might think. Seed has a question about Greg Norman when he was playing and the crowds.And now onto the culinary section of Talk Birdie To Me: Burgo chimes in on Turkish Delights in Istanbul, and CK wants to respond to Marks comments and questions about the calibre of sushi in Australia vs Japan from last week, and Producer Dan has a comment from his brother Mike, who lives in Singapore and lived in Hong Kong for a decade, about Marks bold claim that Chinese food in Australia is better than in China.Also randomly Mark decides to share a Michael Jackson fact with us. No idea why. It was awkward.But whilst we were talking Japan it reminded us of the amazing opportunity that you have to win a golfing trip to Japan with Paul Sheehan from GolfLoot - join as a member, starts from about 12 or 13 bucks a month, there are a heap of regular prizes - and some huge ones, like the Japan trip! All the details at GolfLoot here.Mark has a great story about playing on the China Tour and getting into an awkward situation at a bar with Lucien Tinkler, and we hear why Mark turned down the opportunity to play for Australia and regrets it.Finally, a great question from Dylan about the calibre of handicaps and which is better.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

It's Tristan Williams week on Jeopardy! as he gets himself a ToC invitation and much more, playing solidly across all 5 games this week. He gets a couple of close scares though, as we discuss a charming southern U.S.A. anecdote, the show seemingly taking a few shots at right wing America, and Ken introduces a game in a way we've never heard before.

It's a Canadian week on Jeopardy! as a contestant from a small Ontario town near where John grew up gets blessed with a Final Jeopardy! category about Canadian music. We also get a a show first: a contestant and listener who purposely steered their anecdote to be about something we have professed our love for on our podcast. Elsewhere, Ken decides a specific contestant is his opp for some reason, we learn some horny gossip about a potentially rewritten category title, and we dive deep on Canadian hero Céline Dion.

Producer Dan joins the conversation to discuss his post-college endeavors, where each team member is in their life and where they're going, and, of course, to reminisce about how Point Of Doo met.
It was a wild and weird week for Jeopardy! as superchamp Jamie Ding meets his end at the hands of Greg Shahade, a chess master and very solid champion who dominated the news cycle this week for not his gameplay but uhh...other reasons. We bid farewell to our beloved Jamie and discuss a very fun week of games as we get an anecdote flex, two Response of the Year candidates, and we dive deep on the Granny Smith apple.

Jeopardy! proves that you don't have to be horny to mention a horse's "equipment", and quite frankly, we approach feeling horny ourselves for one of the best games in Jamie Ding's entire run, as him and Patrick Nolan have a fantastic back-and-forth in Thursday's game. Plus, we get a real gunslinger in Lydia who answers so many clues her tongue gets twisted, John gets scared by an Emily anecdote prompt, and we dive deep on the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise".

We aren't on cocaine while recording this episode, but for some reason it comes up more than once, as Emily forgets to finish writing a recap joke about it, John remembers that he's seen the 2001 drug-dealer movie "Blow", and TaoTao brings a manic energy to the Alex Trebek stage.

John is back as Jamie Ding survives a near-loss scare and then rebounds to win the rest of his games this week in a convincing fashion, etching his name into the 20-win club.

Get a load of this one, bub! It's an episode of the show we have all grown quite fond of over the years…with some guys on there, and some fun with a website, and hey who knows, maybe even a couple of laughs as well. If we're lucky! And oh boy, I think we are! On today's show we've got some good stuff for the army guys, which is awesome, and some bible stuff – love that. But it wouldn't be today's episode without some kinda weird cartoon thing…you already know! Those crazy cartoons…what will they get up to this time? Only the YKS boys know for sure!

Listen to the show, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell! Or perhaps we already are! On today's episode of YKS, recorded BEFORE Easter – so we won't be talking very much about Easter or describing our Easter festivities this year in any terms other than pure guesses and maybe some hopeful wishes about the holiday to come – the eggless docket serves us up some rather “hoppy” tales of entrepreneurship and creativity. Take, for instance, the butt razor that has 2 razors on it so you can stick it up your butt. And, of course, all the rest.

I wish I had come up with “Smart Beer”. That's such a funny idea. But some business dick beat me to it. I wonder if I'm losing my fastball. Oh, no, I guess I'm not, because my copy of All The Pain That Money Can Buy is right here on my CD shelf! I'd like to see some Wharton stiff come up with that. But they could never. They probably don't even know that Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading articles that described the June 1997 disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas,[6] who left home to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimer's disease and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery.

Now I'm just a simple country iced tea drinker, but it seems to me that if you want to drink iced tea, there are some crucial components to such a refreshing beverage. Oh actually nevermind that I'd rather talk about the soul food place I went to this week where a real bumpkin looking customer was asked “Are you a tea drinker?” and he got a free sample of the sweet tea. After hemming and hawing over the availability of sweet ‘n' low, he relented and the two men began talking about going to the chiropractor to fix their backs. The customer said he went once a week! He was wearing compression socks! That's a no bueno situation, indeed. But enjoy the tea, my friend. It was made in a volcano.
