Summary

On The Gist, how many people have declared they're running for president? In the interview, breaking a record doesn't always mean going home a winner. Adam Levin learned that in his recent run on Jeopardy!, where he banked more money than any runner-up in the history of the game show (thus walking away with just $2,000). He tells Mike, a fellow Jeopardy! alumnus, about his tactics—and the fact that he has no regrets. Levin is sports information director of Brandeis University's athletics program.

0:00.0	The following podcast contains explicit language by which we mean potty talk.
0:11.6	It's Thursday, May 2nd, 2019 from Slated to the Gist of my Pasca.
0:16.4	Seth Moulton is in! Michael Bennett is in! Wait, who are these guys? Into what? Oh yeah, they
0:21.9	went to the presidential race. Michael Bennett is a senator from Colorado, previously known for
0:27.0	being the kind of smart respected senator who wouldn't do something stupid. No more! He,
0:32.3	like 20 of his fellow Democrats, saw that Marion Williamson got an actual CNN town hall and said,
0:38.8	what? How about me? I'm an actual member of Congress, or a senator, or in some cases, a mayor
0:45.0	of a middling city. But still an elected official, I need one of those. You see, CNN thought they
0:49.6	were doing a good thing in terms of civics and informing the public, but what they created is what
0:55.1	the economist would call a moral hazard. Now you realize what this means? That a top advisor to a
1:02.5	presidential campaign is outside the top 20 Democratic political advisors. After, I've interviewed a
1:10.3	bunch of political advisors. After like three or four, there is a huge drop off. The twent- someone
1:15.8	running for president with the 21st best political advisor. And this also means that a bunch of people

1:29.4	really great advisor of say the Inzli campaign will read the writing on the wall and peel off
1:35.9	and try to do the grunt work of, you know, making a Democrat, win in Texas, or something of really
1:44.0	minor insignificance like that. Yeah, I said Inzli, you heard right. It is hard to keep all these guys
1:49.3	straight. Got a little, uh, little ditty to try to help you. Michael Beniccio, Biden, Cory,
1:54.8	Booker, John Delaney, Tulsi, Gabbard, Wayne, Messam, Kirsten, Jill, LeBrandt, Hicken,
1:59.0	Loper, Clobuchar, Seth, Molten, Wunket, Far, Eric, Swahwell, Liz, Warren, Kamala, Hi,
2:03.6	Russ, Jay, Inzli, Beto, too, Bernie Sanders, Oprah's guru, Mike Revell, I'm in hell, did I say Hicken,
2:09.4	Loper yet? Hicken, Loper, Hicken, Loper, I'm stuck inside a Hicken, Loper, Tim Ryan, Andrew Yang,
