What is the Jeopardy Masters Tournament and why is it significant?
Then Amazon flirted with the idea of listing a tariff surcharge next to its products, but then the White House called. It's Wednesday, April 30th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
Good morning, everyone. Toby, I am hyped. The biggest competition of the year kicks off tonight, Jeopardy Masters. The game show is bringing back its top-ranked players to compete in a tournament for a $500,000 prize. Everything about this is going to be supersized. Nine hour-long episodes consisting of two games each with the hardest questions, well, answers, you could think of. Jeopardy has done a great job of turning its all-star contestants into household names.
We're also at the point in our lives, Neil, where we are seated for Jeopardy at 7 p.m., so this is appointment viewing for our crew here at MBD. But also, Neil, I am talking to a bit of a Jeopardy legend here. You were on the show many moons ago. Tell MBD listeners about that lore.
I don't know about legend, but yeah, in 2001, when I was 10 years old, I was on Kids Jeopardy, got to meet Alex Trebek. I said my favorite class in school was recess. which it still is. The cool kid. The cool kid. And we had a little buzzer trouble in Single Jeopardy, but we turned it around. I'm not going to tell anybody how it turned out. You'll just have to watch. It's deep in the throes of YouTube, but it was a great time. I just really want to go back. So if there are any Jeopardy producers listening, get me on that show. I can get revenge.
Give him another shot, Ken Jennings. And now a word from our sponsor, Plan It Out. Neil, you know what's better than a good morning routine? Gonna be honest, Toby.
There is nothing better than a good morning routine.
Exactly. Trick question, my friend.
But you know what makes a good morning routine even better? Plan It Out. It's so tasty, smooth, and creamy. It makes my 4.30 a.m. cup of coffee even better.
I am personally a fan of the unsweetened version, zero grams of sugar and still full of flavor. Even when I decide to change up the routine a bit and go from hot coffee to iced.
Well, changing up your morning ritual. I always do the same thing.
Neil, that's the beauty of Planet Oat. There are so many options you can adapt to however your mornings might change. Maybe I'll give your iced coffee a try then. I'll bake you one tomorrow morning with the oat milk that has it all. Visit planetoat.com for more. Amazon was caught in a 12-round trade war rumble yesterday. Punchbowl News dropped the first jab, a report that Amazon planned to display the cost of Trump's tariff next to the total price of products on its site. That caused the White House to return with a punch of its own. This is a hostile and political act by Amazon, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters. After that pop of the mouth, Amazon stock retreated to the ropes, dropping 2%, before dusting itself off and getting back into the ring, clarifying that it was only ever considering listing tariff charges next to products on Amazon Haul, a smaller budget-focused section of its site that's meant to compete with Taimou.
What happened with Amazon and the tariff surcharge controversy?
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thought it was time for him to jump in the ring, quote tweeting a Bloomberg article detailing Amazon's walkback saying, good move. But that was far from the only moves being made. CNN then released a report that said Trump had gone straight to the top rope, calling Amazon founder Jeff Bezos yesterday morning to complain about the initial report about tariff prices. Amazon finally clarified through a statement that a proposal was never approved and it was not going to happen even for Amazon haul.
