    You could try watching the match "on demand" in the ESPN app and skip to the end, although that did not work for me and I had to resort to the website. Spoiler: Hsieh Su-Wei didn't speak at all during the trophy ceremony.

    I think I was blissfully unaware of this stupid patch until now. Why is he so willing to believe this shit but not vaccines? From https://www.forbes.com/sites/ariannajohnson/2023/07/13/what-to-know-about-djokovics-nano-patch-and-why-some-experts-call-it-pseudoscience/ :
  4. Oh good (sarcasm), my brain read/heard the song title "Always Something There to Remind Me" and instantly started playing the next two songs from the mid-'90s Cool Rock commercial. So glad I still remember that. 🙄
  5. If the show used "Male Authors," I'd roll my eyes because all this time they've been using the grammatically incorrect "Women Authors." But they'd never do that with a "Men Authors" category. It would be fine by me if the show had "Male Authors" and "Female Authors." Or "Women Who Write" and "Men Who Write." (Though I'd prefer if women were more often simply included in an Authors category.) Just treat men and women equally! Men are too often the default, with women given their own special little category so you won't complain that we never include you, and we'll make it extra weird by using the word "women" in a way we'd never use "men." Sorry, got a little ranty there.

    The WTA and ATP have sound files of many players saying their own names. Here's Karolina's: https://www.wtatennis.com/players/322191/karolina-muchova
  7. I've been meaning to drop this info into this thread; apologies if it's old news. The show has been actively recruiting trivia players and is even going to audition eligible people who attend the Game Show Boot Camp that James has been promoting. The FAQ on that site mentions that the show also holds auditions at the Mensa Convention and SporcleCon.
  8. Same here! Here's the Wikipedia section on that for anyone who wants a little more info.
  9. I like that episode a lot but had no recollection of this. Thanks for mentioning it.
  10. J-Archive now lists tape dates at the bottom of each game page. Although the last week of the tournament is not yet in the Archive, those tape dates still display when you hover over the links [for me, on desktop]. I don't know if the hovering trick works on mobile/other browsers, so here they are: Games 1-6: March 14 Games 7-8: March 15 Games 9-14: May 2 Games 15-20: May 15 Getting rid of the silly Daily Double location reveal would be fine by me!
  11. Maybe all these contestants use paid tax preparers, but I'll place some blame on the tax prep sites that most self-filers use. These companies obfuscate the forms, in my experience. You only get to see the actual forms once you're totally done, and I bet a lot of people never look at them.
  12. You could try joining JBoard.tv (specifically for this thread) for help getting your game into J-Archive. They might be able to help with digitizing it first, too, I don't know. I was able to use my local library to convert a VHS of old family footage into a .mp4 file.
  13. From the regular-season thread: I see your German brothers theory and raise you Danish twins. (I don't know how poker works.)
