For a few weeks now, Freek Vonk has been allowed to fill Saturday evenings on NPO 1 with Freeks Saturday Night Safari (FSNS), a kind of animal quiz for all ages. In this Waku Waku for young and old, the ever-energetic Vonk treats a different ecosystem every week through ‘awesome lectures and stimulating questions’. The Amazon and the prairie had already been discussed, and Saturday evening it was time for Antarctica. “A desert of ice, because there is very little precipitation,” says Vonk, on a virtual ice floe. And: “Larger than the whole of Europe.” With which Lips immediately picked up two nice trivia facts.
Because Saturday night is not complete without a quiz, FSNS is also a game program in which the prize is the Golden Johan, named following Vonk’s house monitor. André Dongelmans’ team competes every week once morest that of Lisa Loeb, who, since she The smartest person won, all quizzes expired – she sat Saturday night following FSNS as well The Connection. Dongelmans had brought along Nathan Rutjes, the cheerful footballer who, with his mat, looks a bit like an extinct animal species.
Rutjes said he was a fan of cold regions, but he did not know much regarding it. For example, he thought that the thickest ice in Antarctica was 50 meters (that’s almost 5 kilometers) and that the penis of an elephant seal weighed 200 kilograms (it weighs ‘only’ 2 kilograms).
All questions were in the service of the Grote Freek Vonk Show, which showed an overenthusiastic video in the round called ‘holy moly’ in which he swam with orcas. His excited tone made Lips involuntary Lucky TV think.
Still, it was an instructive Saturday evening in the Lips house. Because did you know that in Antarctica, global warming causes more than a hundred Olympic swimming pools of meltwater to flow into the ocean every minute? Holy molly!
