01:10Good luck to all three of you fine people.
01:12Allow me to show you your categories in the Jeopardy! round.
01:16We have first a place in history, then some NATO phonetic alphabet suggestions, followed
01:24by Super Bowl ads, animal idioms, science AKAs, and finally, fitting sports names.
01:33Jamie, you'll make the first selection of the week.

01:46It was Flounder.
01:47Correct.
01:47Animal idioms for 600.
01:49At the comedy show, I was seated in the front row, like this defenseless fowl.
01:54Jamie.
01:55Where's a sitting duck?
01:55I was a sitting duck.
01:57Fitting sports names for 800.
01:59It's a good name for a ball player, but as a reporter noted regarding Mr. Bailey of the
02:03Reds, not so much for a pitcher.
02:09Unfortunately, he's named Homer.
02:11Back to you, Jamie.
02:12Animal idioms for 1000.
02:14I'm pretty sure he's only skilled in a single area as one of these equines.
02:19Jamie.
02:19What's a one-trick pony?
02:21Good.

04:43Max.
04:43It was Duncan.
04:43Yes, very good at Duncan.
04:45You have $3,400.
04:46The three of you can pause for a moment, because we need to pause for this commercial break.
04:53A lot of us spent a lot of time in shopping malls back in the day, but Erin Howard, a
04:57community membership facilitator from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, you spent more time than you
05:02wanted to in a mall, right?
05:04I was trapped in a mall by a blizzard one time when I worked at a restaurant there in college.
05:10Trapped in the mall for how long?
05:12Overnight.
05:12Oh, wow.
05:13I had to spend the night there.
05:15I think I got home about 8 o'clock the next morning.
05:17What's the mall like at a snowy 3 a.m.?
05:20Good times?
05:20Uh, well, luckily, a blizzard was predicted, and the security guards had stocked up on
05:26snacks and movies because they knew they were going to be there all night, so my co-worker
05:30and I went and hung out with them for the evening to weather down the storm.
05:37Max Jenikov from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a clinical psychology PhD student, has a famous
05:42relative, right?
05:43Yes, Ruben Kulikovsky, the inventor of the Ruben sandwich.
05:47The inventor of the Ruben?
05:48Yes, there's some controversy over who really did it, but we really think he did it.
05:52And he is your...
05:53Like, great-great-uncle something.
05:56I don't quite know.
05:57And do you like the Ruben?
05:58Is it a family treat?
05:59I mean, it's not kosher, so there's a bit of some kind of secret shame there, perhaps.
06:04I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat it, but it's a lot of sandwich around the world, and
06:08that's where I care.
06:09I was going to say leave off the Swiss cheese, but if you're a vegetarian, that's not going
06:12to be a very good Ruben with just sauerkraut and Russian dressing, I think.
06:15Our champion is Jamie Ding from Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
06:18You wanted to be announced as a faceless bureaucrat, but in fact, in your bureaucratic job, you
06:23do some good work, right?
06:24Tell us what you do.
06:24The agency I work for, we manage the low-income housing tax credit for New Jersey.
06:28We fund a huge chunk of the affordable housing that's built in the state.
06:33New Jersey's doing really well.
06:34We're ahead of, like, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania.
06:38If you're from one of those states, then shame on you.
06:41Build more housing.
06:41But, uh, there's always room for improvement.
06:44That's great.
06:44So getting stuff built and, uh, finding more affordable places for people to live.
06:48Max, you have command of the board right now.
06:50Let's get back into the round.
