    I guess I’m not the only one with a very shallow knowledge of asbestos.

    The “Before & After” category was full of completely unknown and only vaguely familiar references: Keeping It One Hundred (?), He-Man, Suicide Squad, Squad Goals, Wakanda Forever, Forever 21. Those were all $2,000 clues for me.

    • Lou says:

      The before and after category were easy for me but I haven’t watched suicide squad but still I have to find it online somewhere. Beelezebub wasn’t that hard to pronounce. So we almost had a four day winner but it didn’t happen but maybe Kevin can make a four day winner. A triple solve today would have worked out here. Did anyone else get final jeopardy today aside from me VJ?

      • Richard Corliss says:

        Brian switched the “L” and the “Z” in Beelzebub, he said “Beezlebub” instead.

        • VJ says:

          Yeah, that’s what I heard, Richard. Maybe they would have accepted it if he got the L in the right place.

          @Lou, I’m sure you’re not the only one who got FJ.
