00:51which for me personally always brings back memories of the final Jeopardy clue.
00:54I missed that ended my run when I didn't know enough about H&R Block.

01:03Jamie Ding, who is now tied with Matea Rhodes to round out the top five
01:06of most consecutive games won in Jeopardy! history.
01:09What Matea could not do, however, win their 24th game.

06:33And then we drove around, we went to a high school, we went to an abandoned railroad track.
06:38Turns out the goose was mobile and would leave those places before we got there.
