What happens when survival experts face off in a high-stakes trivia battle? Pure chaos and surprising revelations about what they do—and don't—know about survival.

In this special game show episode, hosts Erik, TJ, and Alex compete in "Geopardy," a survival-themed trivia challenge spanning six categories: self-defense, camping, survival, first aid, navigation, and trivia about their own podcast. The competitive tension builds as they buzz in to tackle questions ranging from basic survival techniques to obscure wilderness knowledge.

Despite Erik feeling under the weather on his birthday, the competition heats up with plenty of good-natured trash talk. TJ demonstrates quick reflexes on the buzzer while Erik employs a more strategic approach, avoiding questions he's unsure about. Their contrasting styles lead to heated debates over technicalities, like whether a "solar still" is the same as "distillation" (it's not, according to Alex).

The game reveals fascinating survival facts throughout: tilting your head forward during nosebleeds prevents choking, the edible inner bark of pine trees provides emergency calories, and when facing multiple attackers, creating distance and escaping should always be your primary goal. Navigation questions highlight the practical "watch method" for finding direction with an analog timepiece and the reliability of Polaris for locating north.

By the final question—identifying Dawn of the Dead as humanity's greatest defense in a zombie apocalypse where the undead are allergic to irony—Erik narrowly claims victory despite TJ answering more questions correctly. The episode perfectly balances educational content with the hosts' competitive spirit and humor that fans have come to love.

Eric, you are, you are.
So how, how, how, why would youdo that?
I felt bad for you.
Why would you do that?

All of these things are very educational and
everybody needs to know it, youare no different than my school
using double negatives.

double negatives distractible,taught us that this is
inappropriate.

You draw an imaginary linethrough 12 o'clock.
Wherever the sun is, you drawan imaginary line through 12
o'clock.
Halfway in between is south.
It's fascinating, the watchmethod.

second.

I think we've gone way over, sothere's no need for a final.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
There's definitely a need for it.
I can cut this so well.
We can do two parts we can dotwo parts.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
All right, let's do final Jeopardy.
What Final wager round thecategory is.
I'm just going to say thisright now to both of you you are
going to fucking hate me forthis category name and I'm going
going to say this right now toboth of you you are going to
fucking hate me for thiscategory name and I'm going to
love it.
The more pissed off thiscategory makes you, the happier

(28:52):
I will be.
I'm not going to be pissed off.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I'm going to love it survive the tangent oh, I'm
going to hate this one that isour category.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Eric wager, all of it , you guys.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, I was, I, yeah, you guys, we literally have
nothing to wager.
I love it For a score update.
Tj is at negative 12,400, andI'm at negative 10,800.
Tj, you got to submit.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, the clue.
In a hypothetical apocalypsewhere zombies are allergic to
irony, this film, often debatedfor its tone, pacing and logic,
would be considered humanity'sgreatest defense.
And if you want me to read itagain, I will In a hypothetical

(29:43):
apocalypse where zombies areallergic to irony, this film,
often debated for its tone,pacing and logic, would be
considered humanity's greatestdefense.
Tj's answer the cured.
He wagered 1000 and he isincorrect.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm not correct either.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Sean of the Dead.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
He wagered 1,000.
And he was incorrect.
What is Dawn of the Dead?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Dawn of the Dead being probably one of the most
ironic films.
Not just for my what's going tosound like a completely
narcissistic reason because I'mmaking it all about me, but Dawn
of the Dead is very it's aparadox Number one, I think fast
.
Zombies are ordinarily verydumb.

(30:41):
It's very poorly played, but Ilove the way that Dawn of the
Dead 2004 utilized them.
But it is filled with irony.
The fact that George A Romerowrote that film and portrayed
the mall and the zombies as a Idon't want to say an ode to
consumerism, but I hope you'llunderstand me when I do say that

(31:04):
it.
In the 2004 writing of it, theyhad no intention of keeping that

(31:29):
theme going.
It was basically you took theconsumerism and turned it into a
fortress with everything weneed you, everything
light-hearted about it, wherethey were playing games and
having sex and uh going up onthe roof and playing celebrity

(31:50):
sniper with the uh gun shopowner across the way and
everything was was I'm gonna.
I'm gonna butcher this.
Everything was ironicallyunironic.
They didn't mean to do it.
There was no intent with theirwriting of it and it made it the

(32:10):
most ironic film ever.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I don't know if I would describe it that way, but
I won, so I don't care, it is.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Eric, with a grand total of $11,800 in the negative
, is the winner.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Okay, but did he win that episode though.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
He barely beat out TJ .

Speaker 2 (32:39):
That is a good question.
Actually, that doesn'tnecessarily mean I won the
episode.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Which was $13,400 I definitely got more right than
him.
It's just that Shit wasdifferent amounts of money.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I do take into consideration that TJ did get
More answers correct.
He wagered a lot more.
He went for all the big ticketitems.
So did I.
He went for almost every one ofthem.
We both went for all the big,big ticket items.
So did I.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
He went for almost every one of them we both went
for all the high ticket itemsbefore we went for the lower
ones.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
You you like halfway through, gave up on the
thousands and I came back strongwith the two thousands you did
I just didn't.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
We both, we both avoided the 1000 for that one
fucking topic yeah, you both did.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
but then beyond that, Eric has been a grumpy Gus.
I take into account that he's alittle sicky-poo, but it is his
birthday and I'm a littleashamed that he hasn't rallied
and gone hard and just said fuckit, I'm gonna try till I die.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I am sick and I am here, aren't I?
I'm not a fan.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
I'm not a fan of how this is going.
You've been a grumpy Gus Beentalking smack on my game boards.
Put a lot of work into this,jerk.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
My feelings are hurt.
You did more rounds than Ifucking did.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
And I went searching through all of our transcripts,
looking up shit, making surethat I was getting it right.
But I do want to tell you guyssomething that I found very cool
about this.
Do you know that AI, ai,co-host, ai, uh, duck ai and uh,
what's the other one?
What's the other one?
Chat, gpt, all know who willyou survive?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
the podcast is that's cool, it's very cool.
Yeah, that's neato I was like I.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
I did several searches.
Um co-host ai got severalthings wrong, but um duck, ai
and Grok were almost dead onaccurate.
I was able to double checkeverything.
All three of them got one thingwrong.
On the question that I wasasking about the Bird Box
episode, it said that we debatedthat OCD was a valid immunity

(34:42):
against the monsters.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, we were talking about it.
We did talk about it.
We talked about OCD was a validimmunity against the monsters.
We did talk about OCD, wetalked about OCD.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
but all it did was open up the conversation.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yeah, that was what we used it, for I would have got
that fucking question right ifI thought about it more.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
So I was like wait a minute.
So when I saw that, I was likeno, that's not right.
I went back and I looked at it.
It I searched the transcriptand I found what we talked about
, how we talked about.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
I was like look at this fucking asshole.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I was like oh yeah, we did talk about fucking
bipolar more however, forreasons that I have listed, and
because it's his birthday, I amgiving the victory to co-host
Eric.
If you switched it to TJ, thatwould have been very funny.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I am giving the victory to co-host Eric.
If you switched it to TJ, thatwould have been very funny.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Because it's his birthday.
I'm giving his gift to TJ.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
There you go Winner speech.
Well, my winner speech.
This is official, right, youcan't take it back.
Can't take it back, and it'snot even close, so there's no
point in TJ giving three points.
Well, my winner speech.
This is official, right, youcan't take it back.
Can't take it back, okay, wellwith that being said and it's
not even close.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
so there's no point in TJ giving three points.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I was going to say, the only reason that I have a
higher score than TJ is becauseI didn't answer the questions
that I didn't know, and I'mpretty sure TJ just took a stab
at every single one of them.
So every time he got them wronghe would lose points and I
would just not answer a lot ofthem, and so I avoided losing

(36:08):
the points, which was kind of astrategic thing.
But also, yeah, it's true, yeah, so that's why I didn't want to
say anything earlier, because Ididn't want to influence your
decision.
Gotcha, gotcha.
But yeah, good job, tj.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
I mean, yeah, I did way better than you Loser speech
.
I mean I did better than Eric.
He is a little sniffly crybabybecause he's sick on his
birthday.
He was bitching the entire time.
Oh, TJ's winning.
I wasn't even winning theentire time.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I didn't say you were winning, you were literally
bitching at me.
