Game shows and survival might seem like an unlikely pairing, but in this special birthday episode for Erik, we combine competitive trivia with life-saving knowledge in our revival of "Geopardy" (with a G, not a J—we're very particular about that).

Armed with buzzers and quick reflexes, TJ and Erik face off across six challenging categories: Will You Survive the Podcast, Zombie Knowledge, Urban Survival, The Conjuring, Bushcraft Hacks, and Gear You Forgot. The competition quickly heats up as they dive into questions ranging from easy 200-point softballs to brain-busting 1000-point stumpers.

Beyond the laughs and friendly trash talk, this episode actually packs in substantial survival information. Did you know that aluminum foil makes an excellent emergency signaling device? Or that charging cables can be repurposed to create snares in a pinch? How about using lip balm for waterproofing gear? These practical tips emerge alongside zombie trivia and bushcraft techniques as our hosts navigate the increasingly difficult questions.

The game reveals both surprising knowledge and amusing gaps in our hosts' expertise. TJ shines in the practical bushcraft questions, while Erik demonstrates unexpected knowledge about horror films. Throughout it all, Alex serves as quizmaster, occasionally bending the rules in the name of entertainment while keeping score of the rapidly changing leaderboard.

This episode is just part one of our Geopardy special, with more trivia challenges coming next week. Whether you're here for the competitive banter or the survival tips hidden within each question, you'll walk away entertained and slightly more prepared for whatever apocalyptic scenario might come your way.
