The "Jeopardy music" gag is a late stage gag on The First Podcast, originally conceived in late 2019.
Purpose[]
As with many absurdist post-production gags on the show, the goal of this gag is pure chaos. Comedic wrongness is in full force here.
Explanation[]
At some point during an episode, when pensive thought is necessary or when the hosts ask the live listeners a question, Joe would tell Lars to "cue the Jeopardy music". On any other show, the actual Jeopardy music (or a royalty-free variant) would then play as a moment of light humor.
The hosts instead decided to insert extremely abrasive, disruptive music snippets instead. In contrast to the peaceful Jeopardy music, this sends the listener into a moment of disturbance.
Although Joe has left the show, ostensibly this gag can still live on with a new co-host.
