The Quiz Show Featuring The E-commerce Podcasts That Got Way Out of Control

The Watson Weekend Festive Jeoparty is a special holiday podcast episode featuring a Jeopardy-style quiz among four e-commerce and retail podcast teams: Team NYC (Rick Watson and Nick Kaplan), Retail Razor (Ricardo Belmar), Future Commerce (Philip Jackson and Brian Lange), and OGs Scott Wingo and Jason Goldberg.

The game involves answering questions about retail trends, e-commerce, industry buzzwords such as agentic commerce, BNPL, retail media networks, and consumer behavior in 2025.

Jessica Lesesky moderates the chaotic but fun competition, with rules including buzzing in and timed answers.

Throughout the game, participants discuss key retail events and trends of 2025, such as consumers' unexpected resilience amid economic concerns, the plateauing of e-commerce growth, and the evolving role of commerce in culture.

The episode ends with reflections from the participants on 2025 as a transformative year in retail, the announcement of the winners (Scott and Jason), and an invitation to join Rick Watson at the upcoming NRF event. The show closes with a festive dance party.
