Flyways Jeopardy with World Champion Mike Anderson

·37 min·3 clips

World champion Mike Anderson joins the hosts for a high-stakes waterfowl hunting Jeopardy game.

The episode begins with the hosts welcoming guest Mike Anderson and announcing a special Jeopardy game format for the show. Carter, likely a producer, introduces the rules, including buzzing in with phones and answering in question form. Six categories are presented: Feathered Fundamentals, Flyway Facts, Hunting Heritage, Species Spotlight, Band Toad, and Hashtag Sponsored. The game proceeds with questions like identifying the Prairie Pothole Region's nickname and the agency overseeing the National Bird Banding Program. Mike Anderson initially struggles, losing points on early questions, while Joey Vassallo and Cal Ness take leads. A daily double question about ideal water depth for dabbling ducks stumps all players, revealing a knowledge gap. Discussions interject between questions, such as debates on canvasback staging areas and the rarity of reward bands. Sponsors like Turtlebox, Soundgear, Ducks Unlimited, Onyx, and First Light are integrated into questions. The game tightens as players approach final Jeopardy, with scores close. Final Jeopardy asks about the area famous for finely crafted wooden duck decoys, with answers including Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Shore. Mike Anderson wins after wagering aggressively. The episode concludes with banter about the hosts' professions and a tease for Mike's upcoming interview on 30-minute Tuesday.
