About this episode
The most prestigious awards season in television is here, as we kick off the 2025 Jeoppys with an interview with our second-ever Player of the Year, Drew Goins! From a tough loss in his initial game against David Erb to a surprise entry in the Tournament of Champions, we talk to Drew about it all. We learn how he has become friends with Lisa Ann Walter, how he monopolizes the children's section of his local library to prepare for the show, and of course, the Tinder/Grindr thing. Plus, we give Drew the chance to play everyone's favorite WIAJP Game: Jeoparedemption!, where he gets a chance to right some of the wrongs from the Alex Trebek Stage. And of course, we will return later this summer with the rest of the 2025 Jeoppy Awards, but until then, you can subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast . $5/month gets you access to our entire back catalogue of bonus episodes and every new one, including last month when Louis Peitzman and Blocked Party co-host Stefan Heck joined Emily and John to help John prep for the ATS stage himself. And as you know, our first-ever live episode is fast approaching, as we will be watching Matt Leblanc's softcore porno and the only way to get in is to be a patron! So join today!
