1:53 Speaker 05 Welcome to MeatEater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Corinne, Nate, John, and Roman. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from MeatEaters' four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the Shelby index for today's episode. She set a personal best for a new Shelby index record. Here's what we're gonna do. If she wins today's show, we're gonna make it a thousand dollar donation instead of five hundred dollars.
2:31 Speaker 06 Did you clear that with the power set B?
2:33 Speaker 05 No, no. I just assume one of you is going to beat her despite her high score. We'll get to her score in a minute. Now, we have an IFAQ. If you have an IFAQ, send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com with the subject line IFAQ. Sarah Cinco says, my local tavern has recently decided to install a night of trivia, and I volunteered to host. I'm wondering what tips or tricks you could suggest to help make this event fun and successful for all. Randall, you're a bar night tavern going trivia connoisseur.
3:06 Speaker 06 Yes.
3:06 Speaker 05 What advice could you give to Sarah? She wants to be a great host.
3:11 Speaker 06 I have three pieces of advice.
3:12 Speaker 05 Okay.
3:13 Speaker 06 Two of them I've thought of. The third one will come to me. Number one is if there's a limit on the number of people that can sit at a table, enforce it.
3:20 Speaker 05 Hmm, okay.
3:22 Speaker 06 When there's 10 people sitting at a table, and then every other table has three or four people.
3:26 Speaker 05 You don't like that?
3:27 Speaker 06 Just be like, hey, guys, you gotta break. If you're playing, you gotta break up the group. It's just, it just, it's a no brainer. What are they gonna say? Oh, no, we want to have more people than is allowed. Number two is, it's not all about you. Played some bar trivia games where the guys treating it like a, like a one man show.
3:48 Speaker 05 Hmm, an open mic.
3:49 Speaker 06 And it's like, did you practice all these one liners on your parents before you left home tonight, you know?
3:56 Speaker 05 Yep.
3:56 Speaker 06 And I like to just say, keep it about the game. It's fun to have a couple of cracks here and there, but otherwise, you know, just, just play the game straight. Like, people are there for the questions. Randall, how important are drinks?
4:08 Speaker 05 Specials.
4:10 Speaker 06 Very important.
4:10 Speaker 05 I doubt Sarah has that kind of power. Oh, come on. She can, she can do it.
4:15 Speaker 06 There was a, uh, before, uh, before it was the Thomas Marbar in Missoula. They used to have, uh, trivia night there and it was like eight dollar pitchers of flat tire. To the point that I cannot.
4:28 Speaker 05 Flat tire or fat tire?
4:30 Speaker 06 Fat, fat tire.
4:32 Speaker 06 This bodes poorly for today's performance.
4:34 Speaker 05 That's like the swill version of fat tire.
4:37 Speaker 06 I can't smell the stuff anymore without getting sick. I mean, just like six years of every Tuesday night, drinking fat tire until.
4:46 Speaker 05 What a funny promotion.
4:48 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah, it was odd. It's not like a very, I just feel like that's a weird beer to drink in large volumes.
4:53 Speaker 05 Yeah.
4:54 Speaker 06 Uh, my third point about trivia is.
4:56 Speaker 05 You just came up with?
4:58 Speaker 06 See if they can start it early.
5:00 Speaker 05 Oh, wow.
5:00 Speaker 06 Don't start trivia at eight.
5:02 Speaker 04 Yeah, that's the, that's a one ding against the molly here in town.
5:04 Speaker 06 Yeah, I lo-, I mean, it's great trivia. I like the questions. But it'd be great if you could get the thing going at, at seven, six thirty even, I feel like is. There's, I feel like most people are just gonna go there from work.
5:17 Speaker 05 Oh, okay.
5:17 Speaker 06 Instead of going home, there's no reason to start trivia at eight o'clock unless you're doing two games.
5:22 Speaker 05 Phil, any advice for Sarah? You love bar trivia.
5:25 Speaker 04 Yeah, this is, is kind of a follow up to Randall's like, it's not about you comment, but at the same time, I do think you need to kind of present an air of confidence. Like you, you need to, you need to make the players believe that they're, they're in a, they're on a steady ship. And that, and that the captain is, is trustworthy because once, once holes start being poked, the whole thing could fall apart.
5:46 Speaker 06 I also want to tip my hat to Sarah and to the bar that is, uh, initiating this. There's, there's not enough good trivia out there in the world. And, uh, kudos for stepping up.
5:57 Speaker 05 We don't know the name of the place. She says local tavern. Any other advice for Sarah?
6:02 Speaker 04 Yeah, I got one.
6:02 Speaker 05 Okay.
6:02 Speaker 04 I would say make the questions easier than you think you need to make them.
6:06 Speaker 05 That's exactly what I was going to say to Sarah. I think it's important, Sarah, that you have someone to test these on. Um, like I have the Shelby index and that is effective to, to an extent. Uh, but yeah, assume that your audience needs, uh, that they'll have more fun if the questions tend to be easier than harder. She could send them to Nate to test them out. There you go.
6:25 Speaker 06 Yep. And if I may, add one more point just on format. There are some bar trivia games where you. You write your 10 answers for the round on a single sheet of paper and take it up after. There are some bar trivia games where they have you write an answer on a single piece of paper and run it up after every question. Don't do that.
6:44 Speaker 05 Oh, you don't like that one?
6:45 Speaker 06 There's too much standing up and sitting down. That's not what we came for. And then it's like someone gets.
6:52 Speaker 05 Not a gym class.
6:52 Speaker 06 Somebody, yeah, someone who who has the chair on that corner gets stuck just getting up and you're gonna miss all the funny banter.
6:59 Speaker 05 Yeah.
7:00 Speaker 06 So those are just my thoughts.
7:02 Speaker 05 Okay.
7:03 Speaker 06 Spencer, if I may.
7:04 Speaker 05 Good advice for Sarah. Oh, what else?
7:05 Speaker 06 I may. I have a quick announcement.
7:07 Speaker 05 Yes, please.
7:08 Speaker 06 Hello, Meat Eater trivia listeners. On Friday, March 13th, an episode of trivia was recorded in which I said several things I later regretted. They are as follows.
7:18 Speaker 05 Oh, this is from you.
7:19 Speaker 06 I don't care. Terrible question. Hey, Maggie, look at the scoreboard. I don't care. Don't be a smart ass Spencer. And I don't want to be here anymore. I'd just like to apologize for the listeners for all of that negativity and boorish behavior. There's too much of it in the world and I regret my part in contributing to that. I do stand by my critique of the question about revolvers and about the California Gold Rush, and I wish I'd remembered to mention the film Norbit when we were discussing Eddie Murphy films. That's all.
7:47 Speaker 05 Okay, thank you. That will satisfy some folks.
7:50 Speaker 06 We need more of that in this world. Yeah.
7:52 Speaker 05 Good, good addition. Uh, we have a little bit of housekeeping. This is geography related housekeeping. On a previous episode of trivia, I said in the flavor text that Harvard University's Arboretum is located in Connecticut, but of course that's wrong. It's located in Boston, Massachusetts. A full 50 miles from the Connecticut border. And in a different episode, Randall said he didn't think they had Menards in Ohio, but that's wrong. There are 32 Menards in Ohio. Phil has a store map for us. Randall, it's as though they've built Menards on top of Menards.
8:23 Speaker 06 Yeah, I guess my question is, when did they move into Ohio?
8:27 Speaker 05 You think in the last month?
8:29 Speaker 06 No, but I haven't lived in Ohio for 20 years, more than 20 years. So I think that's fair.
8:37 Speaker 05 Okay, that's part of your culture, uh, Menards.
8:39 Speaker 06 Yeah, shout out to Loveland, right on the little Miami River.
8:43 Speaker 05 You need to go back there and do a little.
8:44 Speaker 04 Three stand hunting with Kenyon or someone.
8:46 Speaker 06 Oh, I'd love to do that. I'd love to do that. I'd like to just make a whole series where I just live in Ohio and do all of my favorite things. I'm gonna sell that to the suits.
8:55 Speaker 05 The Shelby index for today is a 6.67. So I'm putting us on perfect.
9:01 Speaker 04 Wait a minute, say that again.
9:02 Speaker 05 Shit, 6.67. This is the first time we've had a two thirds of a point. She got two thirds of a question.
9:09 Speaker 06 So the winner should get.
9:11 Speaker 05 Uh, well.
9:12 Speaker 06 13.33?
9:14 Speaker 05 Uh, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. Again, if nobody beats Shelby today, if nobody gets a seven, it's gonna be a thousand dollar donation.
9:21 Speaker 04 Are we gonna get like scores in like thirds today?
9:25 Speaker 05 No, no.
9:26 Speaker 04 Randall had seven and a third.
9:28 Speaker 05 Exclusively for the Shelby index. That's, that's it.
9:30 Speaker 06 I like it.
9:31 Speaker 05 And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
9:36 Speaker 07 Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You just tend to win everything.
9:51 Speaker 05 Game on, suckers. Question one. You gonna join us? Are you gonna keep typing on that phone? Yeah, I'm playing Wordle.
9:58 Speaker 06 Wow.
9:58 Speaker 05 Turtle, she's playing turtle. Turtle, turtle. Question one, the topic is fishing. This first great question is via Chris Porter. And as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Is it Yellowstone River, Niobrara River, Tennessee River, or Columbia River?
10:20 Speaker 06 I hate you, Chris.
10:23 Speaker 05 Which of these rivers has the highest elevation?
10:25 Speaker 06 Chris Porter?
10:26 Speaker 05 This is, uh, Chris Porter. Yellowstone, Niobrara, Tennessee, Columbia.
10:33 Speaker 06 If it's the Chris Porter I'm thinking of, that's a good guy.
10:35 Speaker 05 If we don't know what states a certain river runs through, are you able to tell us?
10:39 Speaker 05 I'm not going to help you with that one.
10:43 Speaker 05 Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Yellowstone, Niobrara, Tennessee, Columbia?
10:55 Speaker 05 Now, no confidence.
10:58 Speaker 06 Zero.
11:01 Speaker 05 Brody, do you have it narrowed down to a few?
11:04 Speaker 04 Yeah. I'm just gonna stick with.
11:08 Speaker 05 Which?
11:08 Speaker 04 I'm gonna stick with what it should be.
11:10 Speaker 05 Go with what you know. Highest elevation, the Yellowstone River, Niobrara River, Tennessee River, or Columbia River.
11:17 Speaker 04 I'll be real mad when it's what it not should be.
11:20 Speaker 05 Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Columbia, Roman Columbia, Randall Yellowstone, John Columbia, Corinne Columbia, Brody Yellowstone. The correct answer is the Yellowstone River, Brody and Randall. Got that one right. The highest point of the Tennessee River is 800 feet of the Columbia is 2,700 feet of the Niobrara is 5,500 feet and of the Yellowstone is 11,000 feet. The Yellowstone is formed near Yount's Peak in northwest Wyoming where small streams combined to make the longest undammed river in the lower 48.
12:01 Speaker 04 If you want a like badass backcountry trip, like go into the thoroughfare in the headwaters of the Yellowstone, bring bear spray.
12:10 Speaker 05 It would look very unfamiliar.
12:11 Speaker 04 Um, it's super cool country in there.
12:15 Speaker 05 11,000 feet, that's twice as high.
12:18 Speaker 06 He's just giving us two middle fingers.
12:20 Speaker 05 Twice as high as the next closest of the Niobrara River. Question two, the topic is wildlife.
12:28 Speaker 05 Stanley and Zero learned that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie.
12:40 Speaker 06 We're back.
12:41 Speaker 05 Nate, the quick answer. Stanley and Zero learned that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie.
12:53 Speaker 06 This is big millennial core.
12:54 Speaker 07 Yeah.
12:54 Speaker 06 This is, this is the first. Movie that's like squarely in my aperture. Is this an adult?
13:01 Speaker 05 Destroys my confidence.
13:02 Speaker 06 Is this a movie for children or for people that are older? Wouldn't you like to know?
13:06 Speaker 05 It's got an excellent.
13:07 Speaker 06 No, no hints. John, what's going on, man?
13:11 Speaker 07 Struggling. Yeah, you youngin'.
13:14 Speaker 06 John was born in two thousand one.
13:17 Speaker 07 Nineteen ninety-eight.
13:18 Speaker 06 It's close enough. That's pretty good.
13:20 Speaker 07 Gosh, I'm so much older.
13:22 Speaker 05 Roman, do you have this one right?
13:24 Speaker 06 I do. I'm so excited.
13:25 Speaker 05 Okay.
13:26 Speaker 06 I've never felt so good.
13:27 Speaker 05 Stanley and Zero learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this two thousand three movie. Phil, we're gonna get a movie review from you. Is this movie, uh, live action or animated?
13:41 Speaker 06 No hints.
13:41 Speaker 05 Not giving you any hints.
13:44 Speaker 06 Close the gap, baby. We're back, Roman.
13:49 Speaker 05 Randall and Brody, the only players to get question one right, and they have blank whiteboards for question two. Stanley and Zero learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this two thousand three movie. Randall, do you like your answer?
14:08 Speaker 06 I've never seen my answer.
14:11 Speaker 05 Okay.
14:11 Speaker 06 It involves animals.
14:13 Speaker 05 Do you think that Nate and Roman would have seen this movie and liked this movie?
14:18 Speaker 06 My guess?
14:19 Speaker 05 Yeah, which is the energy they're giving off?
14:22 Speaker 06 Maybe.
14:23 Speaker 05 Okay.
14:23 Speaker 06 I don't know.
14:24 Speaker 05 John, do you have a guess?
14:26 Speaker 07 No, I got nothing.
14:27 Speaker 05 All right. Brody, do you like your answer? I don't have an answer, so no, I detest my answer. Does everybody give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate and Roman say holes. Randall, Madagascar. John, without an answer. Chris, without an answer. Brody, without an answer. The correct answer is holes. H-O-L-E-S.
14:48 Speaker 07 Is that like a cartoon?
14:50 Speaker 04 Based on a book.
14:51 Speaker 05 A great book. Based on a book, uh, for, I don't know, like teenagers.
14:56 Speaker 04 Middle grade, yeah.
14:57 Speaker 05 Middle schoolers. I, I remember this movie now, I never saw it, but it, wasn't that troublemaker a- actor who's a real troublemaker now?
15:05 Speaker 04 That was pre-mental break, Shia LaBeouf.
15:07 Speaker 05 They survive off sploosh. That's right. Yeah, exactly. Although the yellow spotted lizard is real, the movie uses bearded dragons to portray them. The real yellow spotted lizard is found, is found from Texas to Panama and does have a venomous bite, but it's far less toxic than the movie describes. According to Holes lore, the lizard has exactly 11 spots, but by the time you get close enough to count them, you'll already be dead. And of course, they hate the taste of quote, onion blood. Phil, did you love the movie Holes?
15:37 Speaker 04 Uh, it was, I loved the book and the, the movie, I think is a great adaptation. It's got an awesome cast too. Sigourney Weaver, Tim Blake Nelson, who kicks ass, John Voight, Henry Winkler. Uh, yeah, it's, it's awesome. He plays the dad, Shia's.
15:51 Speaker 05 What, what, what's the author?
15:53 Speaker 04 Louis Sackar, who wrote a bunch of kid books.
15:57 Speaker 05 Had an iconic cover as well. I think if you've seen it, you would, uh, you'd know. Nate, uh, Roman, did you guys love Holes? Oh yeah, dude. That's like right up there with the Hardy Boys. Hmm, yeah. That's, that's in the, the same like tier of like, if you're a 12 year old boy, you read Hatchet and Holes. Those would be two of the books. Yeah. That's back when Nate used to draw, like as he does right now, like draw guns on pieces of paper at school. Guys fighting each other on mountains and stuff.
16:25 Speaker 04 Yep.
16:26 Speaker 05 Stanley's last name is Yell Nats, which is what backwards Randall? Stanley. Oh, sorry. Wow. So creative. Question three. This feels good when you know a whole bunch of stuff that Randall and Brody don't know. The topic is ecology. Add that to your movie club. On holes. Add that to your movie club, Randall.
16:45 Speaker 04 Digging holes.
16:46 Speaker 05 Uh, this next great question via Adam.
16:49 Speaker 04 Sorry, I've got, I've got one more thing to add. Uh, the, the, the movie's great cause it, it's like a last vestige of when they used to rap through the, the plot of the movie during the credits. So.
16:58 Speaker 05 Oh yeah. Doesn't Shia LaBeouf rap?
17:00 Speaker 04 Shia raps, do you get, oh, oh, oh, dig it. Yeah. Uh, they just, they, yeah. If you want to hear a recap of what you just watched.
17:07 Speaker 05 Question three, the topic is ecology and this next great question is via Adam Leister. Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands.
17:28 Speaker 05 Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands. Corinne, you have this one right? Yes. Randall, you have this one right?
17:42 Speaker 06 Boy, I hope so.
17:43 Speaker 05 Okay.
17:44 Speaker 07 Why am I drawing a blank?
17:45 Speaker 06 After not knowing about the movie holes, I find myself.
17:48 Speaker 07 Oh, yeah.
17:49 Speaker 06 In a bit of a hole.
17:50 Speaker 05 You must've just been slightly too old in 2003 to.
17:54 Speaker 06 Yeah, 2003.
17:58 Speaker 04 Yeah.
17:59 Speaker 05 Yeah.
18:00 Speaker 04 Rick Fox plays a character named Clyde, Clyde Sweetfeet.
18:03 Speaker 05 That's right. And Randall's, uh, sweet spot is Rick Fox films.
18:06 Speaker 06 That's a good guy.
18:08 Speaker 05 Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands. Brody, do you have this one right now?
18:19 Speaker 07 I think I do now. Yeah, yeah.
18:20 Speaker 05 Brody, is that a new first light? I was eyeing that as well.
18:24 Speaker 07 The wick.
18:24 Speaker 05 Oh.
18:26 Speaker 07 It's nice, lightweight. Love it.
18:28 Speaker 05 It's a new Heather Gray color. Color, I guess, right? Okay. Is that the only color that we have it in new? Uh, it's also going to be available in black. Oh. Okay. That's perfect. What's been hot at the store lately, John? What are people buying up there?
18:40 Speaker 07 Not bear rugs.
18:42 Speaker 05 Not bear rugs. No, still working on that. Not Brody's bear rug. Um, but a lot of turkey stuff has been becoming popular. Turkey season's less than a month out, so, um, first. Like turkey vests have been a very hot seller so far. Um, the approach hoodie, which was a 2025 first light products. Think of it as like a wick hoodie, but with the integrated face mask. Um, yeah, all the turkey stuff Phelps, uh, easy plucker diaphragm. That one goes out the door pretty quickly. So if you're in Bozeman, feel free to stop by a store. Get stocked up for turkey season.
19:14 Speaker 06 This guy's good.
19:15 Speaker 05 Good sales. You're in good hands.
19:17 Speaker 04 I was saying that like.
19:19 Speaker 05 Store online.
19:20 Speaker 04 As far as social media videos go, like the crew at the Bozeman Meat Eater store, man, they like knock it out.
19:26 Speaker 06 How's the morale doing? How's the morale doing at the store?
19:29 Speaker 05 Morale?
19:30 Speaker 06 Yeah.
19:30 Speaker 05 Couldn't be higher. That's good.
19:32 Speaker 06 That's why I go there.
19:34 Speaker 05 That's good. Uh, one more time, also known as the bush. This region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says the outback. Roman, the outback, Randall, the outback, John, the outback. Corinne says tazmania. Brody says the outback. The correct answer is the outback. I thought you were going for a.
20:00 Speaker 04 Come on, there's a whole chain of restaurants named after it, Corinne.
20:03 Speaker 05 Although about 75% of Australia is considered the outback, only about 5% of the continent's population lives there. The area is known for its mar-like appear Mars-like appearance, unique wildlife and Aboriginal people. It's also home to the dingo fence, which is the world's longest fence at 3,500 miles long. It creates a dingo free zone for sheep herders.
20:27 Speaker 06 That looks like the DMZ, dude.
20:29 Speaker 05 There is a map of that dingo fence.
20:31 Speaker 06 Why didn't they just do a straight line?
20:33 Speaker 04 And it's seriously like, there's not dingoes on the other side of it.
20:36 Speaker 05 They, they say there are some holes in it and there's certainly some dingoes that have made it through. Uh, but for the most part it, it does its job. Phil has a photo, an aerial photo of the dingo fence as well.
20:48 Speaker 06 How's that compared to the length of the Great Wall?
20:50 Speaker 05 I don't know. This is the longest fence though. 3,500 miles long. How, how long is the Great Wall?
20:55 Speaker 04 I have no idea.
20:56 Speaker 06 I don't know. I just know I watched a video the other day of Anthony Edwards on the Great Wall of China. And he said, that shit's steep.
21:03 Speaker 05 Okay.
21:04 Speaker 06 It's the only Great Wall fact I have.
21:06 Speaker 05 Question four, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Lauren Hope. Leon Leonwood created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell.
21:22 Speaker 05 Not looking for the brand, we are looking for what that type of boot is called. Leon Leonwood created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell. There's a name dude. I totally forget what this whole, I mean, half of you guys have that kind of boot. Hmm. Yeah, I don't, I don't think there should be any chit chat about this particular question. Corinne, do you have this kind of boot at home? I do not. Okay, do you Brody? I do. John, do you have this type of boot? Uh, I do not actually. I used to, but wore them out pretty good. Randall, you have this one, right?
22:01 Speaker 06 I do.
22:02 Speaker 05 Do you own this boot?
22:04 Speaker 06 I own a pair of these boots that I won from Schneze.
22:07 Speaker 05 Wow, okay.
22:08 Speaker 06 When Matt Miller-
22:08 Speaker 05 Ooh, that's a big-
22:10 Speaker 06 It's not a, it's not a-
22:11 Speaker 05 Big hit. I was gonna, I was gonna say-
22:14 Speaker 06 Whatever. Sorry. I don't think I have this right now.
22:19 Speaker 05 Roman, do you have this one, right?
22:21 Speaker 06 I'm feeling good about it, but your brand point kind of threw me off.
22:24 Speaker 05 Not looking for the brand.
22:25 Speaker 06 That's why I feel good about mine.
22:26 Speaker 05 Leon Leonwood created this type of boot in 1912. Is that his real name? By combining a leather-
22:33 Speaker 06 You're gonna kick yourself for making a big deal out of his name.
22:36 Speaker 05 With a rubber lower-
22:37 Speaker 06 Probably not. No, you, I mean, you won't kick yourself.
22:41 Speaker 05 Totally forgot.
22:42 Speaker 06 Literally, but figure it out.
22:44 Speaker 05 You're gonna go zero for ten?
22:45 Speaker 06 You're gonna go-
22:46 Speaker 05 Everybody ready?
22:47 Speaker 06 Dude!
22:48 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nick says the duck boot. Oh shit! Roman says pack boot. Randall says pack boot. John without an answer. Who's kicking who's soap now? Corinne without an answer. Brody says duck boot. The correct answer is the duck boot. Jeez! Also known as the bean boot or the Maine hunting shoe. So we'd also accept those answers. The Maine, oh, M A I N. Maine, like the state.
23:12 Speaker 06 Hmm, I would like to see you kick yourself.
23:14 Speaker 05 We won't forget this. Would you get onto his name, please Spencer? LL Bean designed the, the duck boot to survive hunting season in Maine. Yeah. His idea was to combine the comfort of a leather boot with the durability of a rubber boot. But the concept nearly didn't make it off the ground after 90 of the first 100 pairs were returned. Customers found that the single stitch easily tore, which got Leon to instead go with a triple stitch that is still used today.
23:42 Speaker 06 Great flavor text.
23:43 Speaker 05 LL Bean.
23:44 Speaker 06 I, I, they're kind of dead to me now.
23:46 Speaker 05 Once they got rid of their lifetime warranty. Hmm.
23:49 Speaker 06 That's because people are monsters.
23:51 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's true.
23:52 Speaker 06 So Bean Boot would have been wrong, Spencer.
23:54 Speaker 05 I would take Bean Boot if you said Bean Boot, but if you just said LL Bean, I did not want that as your answer. Question five, the topic is natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by William Meyer for sending this great question. William is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia@themead eater.com. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees.
24:26 Speaker 05 We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. We'll find out if the Shelby index is in danger of winning or losing today. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees. I think I have like the sounds right, but not the words. See if you have the name.
24:50 Speaker 06 So is, is a pack boot an insulated?
24:53 Speaker 05 No, pack boots are modified version, but he, he used the, the Bean Boot or the Duck Boot and inspired his pack boots.
25:00 Speaker 06 Gotcha.
25:01 Speaker 05 And it was like, hey, we need these to be better hikers.
25:03 Speaker 06 Gotcha.
25:05 Speaker 05 I don't know how I know that.
25:06 Speaker 06 Yeah. Well, you know so much about boots, Nate.
25:08 Speaker 05 I like boots. I feel like a pack boot doesn't exclusively have to have rubber on the bottom either, do they? I think they do.
25:13 Speaker 06 Yeah, they do.
25:14 Speaker 05 I thought you'd see leather.
25:15 Speaker 06 It's like rubber, it's a rubber lower, leather upper.
25:19 Speaker 05 Duck boots. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees. Is everybody ready?
25:32 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says rock-a-bye baby. Roman says twinkle, twinkle, little star. Randall, rock-a-bye baby. John without an answer. Corinne says lullaby baby. Brody says rock-a-bye baby. The correct answer is rock-a-bye baby. Hmm. It's unclear what the inspiration was for rock-a-bye baby with theories ranging from Egyptian deities to English royalty. Some believe the song was written by Mayflower colonists who observed different tribes place birch cradles in trees. This practice was done to keep babies safe while adults hunted, gathered and worked fields. The baskets were suspended from branches, providing a swinging motion that soothed the infants.
26:14 Speaker 05 Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.
26:17 Speaker 04 At halftime, Corinne is on the board with zero points. John has one. Roman has two, Randall has three, and tied up in first place with four points are Nate Mason and Brody Henderson.
26:31 Speaker 05 Right.
26:32 Speaker 06 Mmm.
26:32 Speaker 05 Game going into the back.
26:34 Speaker 06 This is when I crash and burn.

27:06 Steven Rinella? I travel quite a bit, and when I'm home, it's very easy to stay on a rigid food routine and eat the right kinds of food at the right time. But when you're on the road, it's hard to stay in your routine and like diet can really start to fall apart. I've seen it, and that's why I like Athletic Greens.

28:24 Steven Rinella? If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you got dogs, you got kids, you know how hard it is to keep the floor of your rig clean. A thing we do in our, in our little fleet of vehicles that have at my household, if you go look, open the door on any one of them, they all got WeatherTech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in WeatherTech. Cause that way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being good as new. I'm telling you, if you got a vehicle, put WeatherTech in there, you're gonna be happy you did it. And check this out, American made floor liners and cargo liners, okay? They laugh in the face of all weather. Go take a look for yourself today at weathertech.com.
29:05 Speaker 05 Question six, the topic is hunting. This three-letter acronym, which Remington says is quote, "one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells," refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets. Oh, I got so many questions about this. Okay, Brody will be able to help you answer them. Sweet. This three-letter acronym, which Remington says is one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells. When's this thing air? Tomorrow. Tomorrow? Refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets. I can't, I'll, I'll talk about this afterwards. It would be a hint if I say that.
29:47 Speaker 05 Again, this is question six. Topic is hunting. This three-letter acronym, which Remington says is one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells, refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets. You got one right, Corinne. Brody likes Corinne's answer.
30:05 Speaker 05 Roman, John, do you have your answers? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says TSS. Roman, TRS. Randall, TSS. John and Corinne and Brody say TSS. The correct answer is TSS. TSS stands for tungsten super shot. These shells use a tungsten alloy that is 22% more dense than standard tungsten and 56% more dense than lead. TSS shells have become more popular in the last decade with NWTF saying that they have quote, "pushed the boundaries for hunters on what used to be considered the max range for lethal turkey shots." Tune in to Mediator News.
30:50 Speaker 04 We got a segment coming up on tungsten ammo.
30:54 Speaker 05 Okay.
30:55 Speaker 06 Is it how expensive it is?
30:56 Speaker 04 It has to do with that.
30:57 Speaker 06 Dude.
30:58 Speaker 04 Five hundred tungsten. You gotta tune in.
31:00 Speaker 06 Okay, I'll tune in. Well, I'm like buying shells this week.
31:03 Speaker 04 But if you've noticed, if you're trying to buy this, like if you waited to the last minute to buy this stuff, it's expensive.
31:09 Speaker 06 A hundred dollars.
31:11 Speaker 05 Is it, is it tariff related?
31:13 Speaker 06 That's part of it.
31:14 Speaker 05 I feel like this comes from China.
31:16 Speaker 04 Geopolitics.
31:17 Speaker 05 Okay. And that news episode will be dropping the day after this episode, so you'll get all informed. What other TSS questions did you have, Nate?
31:26 Speaker 06 Well, is it worth it?
31:27 Speaker 05 Yes. Worth it?
31:28 Speaker 06 It's worth.
31:28 Speaker 04 If you like shooting turkeys at sixty yards.
31:30 Speaker 06 I've never shot a turkey before.
31:32 Speaker 05 Best way to kill a gobbler.
31:33 Speaker 04 Yeah, it's like. It's a game changer.
31:36 Speaker 06 Twenty bucks a shell, dude.
31:38 Speaker 04 Well, not, I mean, like.
31:39 Speaker 06 You just need one.
31:40 Speaker 04 This year, like in years previous, it was expensive, but.
31:43 Speaker 06 I'm operating on the margin here.
31:45 Speaker 04 Like five, six bucks a shell, like sure, it's worth it.
31:48 Speaker 05 Put in the Slack channel, Nate, you could ask, see if anyone has some old TSS they would sell.
31:52 Speaker 06 Dude, I've asked for enough free crap. I've used up all mine, my chips.
31:56 Speaker 05 Speaking of turkeys, next week is Turkey Week here at Meat Eater. Starting March 30th, you'll get our best turkey hunting content across our website, podcasts, and social media. We'll also have sales and Turkey Week sweepstakes that includes thirteen thousand dollars in gear and a 2027 Rio Grande guided hunt. Head over to theMeatEater.com on March 30th.
32:18 Speaker 04 I want to win that.
32:19 Speaker 06 How many yards does it add to your effective range?
32:23 Speaker 04 Uh, like, I, I, I'm not going to answer that in the way you want me to.
32:27 Speaker 06 Okay.
32:27 Speaker 04 I've killed multiple gobblers at sixty yards.
32:30 Speaker 06 Got it. So like, what's typical forty?
32:34 Speaker 04 If I shoot lead number fives, like, yeah, forty.
32:38 Speaker 06 Dude, if a turkey walks by at fifty yards, I will buy you a something.
32:44 Speaker 04 I'm not following what you're saying.
32:45 Speaker 06 Like, I'm not gonna buy TSS. I'm just not going.
32:48 Speaker 05 You're just gonna get closer to them than that.
32:50 Speaker 06 That's what I'm saying.
32:50 Speaker 04 If you're a really good turkey hunter and a really good caller, you don't need it.
32:54 Speaker 06 I'm zero on those things.
32:55 Speaker 05 Yeah.
32:56 Speaker 04 I like bushwhack, like sneaking up.
32:59 Speaker 06 Now that sounds good.
33:00 Speaker 05 Question seven, topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Sammy Stone. Marmots were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger.
33:14 Speaker 06 I don't know.
33:16 Speaker 05 Nate, the guy that you're competing with, Brody, seems to not know this one. Marmots were given the nickname Blank.
33:22 Steven Rinella? You know what a marmot is?
33:23 Speaker 06 I can put, like, point one out.
33:25 Speaker 05 I think I saw a dead one in Korea once. It's used to signal danger.
33:29 Steven Rinella? Are they in Korea?
33:30 Speaker 06 You may have.
33:30 Steven Rinella? They might be.
33:31 Speaker 05 They're a pretty, like, cosmopolitan animal.
33:33 Speaker 00 Mongol, yeah.
33:34 Speaker 06 Yeah, that tracks. Well, they didn't call them this, that here.
33:39 Steven Rinella? Nate, what are you, are you shooting a 20 gauge or a 12 gauge?
33:41 Speaker 06 12.
33:42 Steven Rinella? Okay.
33:42 Speaker 06 You know, I mean, I guess I could shoot a 20.
33:44 Steven Rinella? Yeah, I'll give you.
33:45 Speaker 07 That's the other thing about that TSS stuff. You don't need a.
33:48 Steven Rinella? Do you have a 20?
33:49 Speaker 07 You don't need a 12.
33:50 Speaker 06 But I don't have, I'd have to go buy chokes and crap. Like, I got all my setup for my 12. We'll talk about this offline. They don't want to hear about my shotgun setups.
33:57 Speaker 07 Know what works real good? A slug.
33:59 Speaker 05 You're distracting Nate. You're distracting Nate from coming up with an answer. Marmots were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger.
34:12 Speaker 05 John, do you have this one right? I think so. I've heard this before. Um, more or less for groundhogs rather than marmots, but.
34:21 Steven Rinella? Oh.
34:22 Speaker 05 Come on, man. Brody's getting mad. Randall, do you like your answer? I do. Okay, Randall, Brody, very confident. John, a little confident.
34:32 Speaker 05 Roman, Corinne, do you have an answer? Marmots were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger.
34:42 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Thunder Pig. Roman says Screaming Pig. Randall, Whistle. Uh, John, Whistle. Corinne, Screaming Pig.
34:53 Speaker 06 I did forget a letter.
34:54 Speaker 05 Brody, Whistle Pig. The correct answer is Whistle Pig, which is a restaurant. Yeah.
34:59 Speaker 06 Yeah.
35:00 Speaker 05 Picture of a big marmot.
35:01 Steven Rinella? You know, if you walk out of the adult store in downtown Bozeman, you take a left and a right, you get to the Meat Eater store. If you walk out of the adult store and you turn to the right, you'll go to Whistle Pig.
35:12 Speaker 05 Yeah.
35:13 Steven Rinella? Yeah.
35:13 Speaker 05 You'll see they have a marmot mascot.
35:15 Speaker 06 I've always wanted to explain where the Meat Eater store is.
35:19 Speaker 05 Groundhogs have different whistles for different predators. Biologists say they've heard unique chirps to signal the presence of eagles, coyotes, bears, humans, and more. Here is what they sound like.
35:37 Speaker 05 That's very cute.
35:40 Speaker 05 They're good whistlers. Yeah.
35:50 Speaker 06 I think Brody's impatient.
35:52 Speaker 05 No, no, no, I'm not. That is a whistle pig. A little stressed.
35:58 Speaker 05 They also call them rock chucks. Rock chucks, wood chucks.
36:01 Speaker 06 That's what that is?
36:03 Speaker 05 It's the same thing.
36:03 Speaker 06 Oh.
36:04 Speaker 05 There's a, there's a long range shooting contingent that likes to.
36:08 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
36:10 Speaker 06 Big.
36:11 Speaker 05 Big rock chuck shooting. There's a spot in Utah that I've driven through multiple times on the interstate where there's a stretch of road where you see like five or 10 of these things every time. It's, it's crazy.
36:21 Speaker 06 That's tough.
36:21 Speaker 05 I've never seen so many wood chucks or rock chucks in one spot. Question eight, the topic is conservation. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. And the room is stopped.
36:40 Speaker 05 The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms.
36:54 Speaker 05 Do you have this one right, Randall?
36:56 Speaker 06 I have a guess.
36:57 Speaker 05 A guess, okay.
37:00 Speaker 06 I have a guess that I like. Did Shelby get, is this where Shelby got her point six six from?
37:04 Speaker 05 Uh, no, that was on the TSS, which I think she said TPS or something like that.
37:08 Speaker 06 Ah.
37:09 Speaker 05 So I'm a good husband, so I gave her the point six. Can Roman get a point six? Yeah, he's looking. Chris, I know you've had a lot of time to really decorate your board nicely in this. Round of trivia. Yeah, I come here to learn, not to play. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. Brody, do you have this one right? I have what seems like could be a good answer, but I did not know this, the answer to this thing. This is one of those questions that I feel like a seventh grade, science class kid. I'll be honest. Better chance than you guys. I don't think I've ever heard of this. Yeah, I'm not like the seventh grade science thing. They weren't teaching this when I was in seventh.
37:52 Speaker 05 The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms.
38:02 Speaker 05 This seems like a play on words, if I can help my fellow contestants. There's a lot of. Do you have this one right? I don't think so. Source? Source and blank. Is everybody ready?
38:14 Speaker 06 No, no, I'm changing it.
38:16 Speaker 05 See? Nate's answer is third answer. Yep. Nate just got a hint from Roman. Oh, wow. Changed his answer. Roman doesn't know it, does he? No, he doesn't.
38:24 Speaker 06 Dude, if I get it because of that hint, I will be, I will kiss you.
38:28 Speaker 05 Okay, I'm holding you to that. That'll be. Brody, one TSS shell and Roman a little smooch. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says resource. Roman says supply. Randall, space. John, capacity. Corinne, without an answer. Brody says resource. The correct answer, which Nate crossed out, is sink. The source and sink dynamic.
38:54 Speaker 06 I had size.
38:55 Speaker 05 Oh, size.
38:55 Speaker 06 I just have bad handwriting.
38:56 Speaker 05 I thought you crossed out sink. The source and sink dynamic. Never heard of it. The source and sink model shows how populations change across adjacent habitats. At the source habitat, you have growing populations. At the sink habitat, you have declining populations. Here's an example. On one side of a fence, you have a state park with a lush forest that doesn't allow any hunting. This is the source population for whitetails. And on the other side of the fence is a bean field with tree stands and tower blinds. This would be the sink population for deer. Source and. Sync dynamics like this factor into game management across state lines and unit boundaries. I'm very disappointed. I've never heard of that.
39:35 Speaker 05 Source and sync. Uh, we have one neighbor in my little area who is the source population of voles. Uh, because he has a very trashy yard and then the rest of us are the sync. Does he have a trashy yard? Is it just natural? It's like doesn't meet the standards for your neighborhood. It's just a lack of grooming around some of his little buildings and that's. Call horn association getting after him? No, no, it's all behind a fence. It's not that bad. I'm, I was the source of the voal population for a while.
40:06 Speaker 06 Man.
40:07 Speaker 05 Source and sync. All right, Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.
40:13 Speaker 06 Two questions remaining. It's a fairly tight game for three players. John Curran and Roman are no longer in the running, but Nate and Randall have five points and Brody is one point ahead with six in first place.
40:27 Speaker 05 Two questions to go. Question nine, the topic is gear. This Seattle-based outdoor store with the word co-op in their logo is America's largest consumer co-op. Oh, I've been spending a lot of money there lately.
40:43 Speaker 05 What have you been buying there, Brody? No, I'll talk about it. I don't want to give away.
40:47 Speaker 06 Sound like kind of a hint.
40:48 Speaker 05 Kind of a hint. Seattle-based outdoor. That was stupid. That was a stupid thing to say. The word co-op in their logo is America's largest consumer co-op. But I feel like, like, how could you not know this?
41:01 Speaker 05 Could have a 100 percenter in the room here. What are some other source and sinks like, uh, like the bison?
41:07 Speaker 06 The dingo fence.
41:08 Speaker 05 Of the dingo fence that, well.
41:10 Speaker 06 That was the first one that came to mind.
41:11 Speaker 05 That'd be good. To be a sink, they'd have to get to the other side and die.
41:14 Speaker 06 Yeah, I figure there's a couple.
41:16 Speaker 05 Yellowstone Bison, maybe? The source would be the park. The sink would be if they wander out of the park and get killed by a tribal member or a Montana tag holder. This Seattle-based outdoor store with the word co-op in their logo is America's largest consumer co-op.
41:33 Speaker 06 I had a neighbor growing up who had like a vendetta out for moles. In his process, he tapped down all the mole holes and then come back like 20 minutes later and see which ones had opened back up. That they'd run through and then he'd tamp them down again and he'd sit out there with a, with a spade and wait to see the little trail.
41:50 Speaker 05 That's commitment.
41:51 Speaker 06 And he hit a great yard.
41:52 Speaker 05 Oh, I used to work on a golf course many years ago and we. We used to get a bounty for. Ooh.
41:58 Speaker 06 Hmm. What was the bounty?
42:00 Speaker 05 It was like five bucks.
42:01 Speaker 06 That's a good.
42:02 Speaker 05 That's good. They're messing up a green or a T. They can really do a lot. So we used to just stomp them when we saw them. Or get a cat. Hmm. Is everybody ready? Cats take care of that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Roman and Randall and John and Corinne and Brody. The whole room says REI. The whole room got that correct. It's REI. As a consumer co-op, REI says their business is run by the customers who use it instead of external shareholders. This has been part of their identity since REI was founded in 1938. There are 25 million co-op members with one of the unique benefits being that you get to vote in their annual election for the Board of Directors. Huh.
42:46 Speaker 05 Question 10. Before we do question 10, we will get another scoreboard update before Phil.
42:50 Speaker 06 The song remains the same. Since I was 100 percenter, Brody has seven. Randall and Nate have six.
42:57 Speaker 05 Question 10, the topic is cooking. Roundup of correct answers? Oh, you're good. Thank you. I wasn't going to.
43:03 Speaker 06 I think that should count against it.
43:05 Speaker 05 You just saved me from a conservation donation. Uh, number one was Yellowstone River. Number two is the movie Holes. Three, the Outback. Four, uh, that is the Duck Boot, the Bean Boot, or the Maine Hunting Shoe. Five was Rockabye Baby. Six was TSS. Seven is Whistle Pig. Eight was the Sink. And nine was REI. Here's question 10. Hmm. The topic is cooking.
43:32 Speaker 06 Nice.
43:32 Speaker 05 P E I mussels are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
43:41 Speaker 05 Brody gets this one right. He's writing his answer out. He will win the game. I really like mussels, Spencer. He's definitely getting that right.
43:48 Speaker 06 This is just a fishing question.
43:49 Speaker 05 If I've gotten it right. P E I mussels are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
43:56 Speaker 06 Did you do this on purpose?
43:57 Speaker 05 Does Campeonea have mussels, Randall?
44:00 Steven Rinella? Uh, yes.
44:01 Speaker 05 God, I love those things.
44:03 Steven Rinella? Uh.
44:05 Speaker 05 What do you got, Randall?
44:06 Steven Rinella? I'm just looking at, uh.
44:08 Speaker 05 Pack boots?
44:08 Steven Rinella? Yeah, pack boots versus duck boots.
44:10 Speaker 05 What are you learning?
44:11 Steven Rinella? I mean, it does say Leon Leon Wood Bean invented the precursor to modern pack boots, known as the main hunting shoe in 1911.
44:19 Speaker 05 Hmm.
44:20 Steven Rinella? Uh, they're, the difference is that a pack boot is lined.
44:25 Speaker 05 Hmm.
44:26 Steven Rinella? With felt.
44:27 Speaker 05 So not the same.
44:28 Steven Rinella? Which is definitely something that L.L. Bean did. A lot of.
44:33 Speaker 05 P E I muscles are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
44:41 Speaker 05 Spencer ain't budging on that one, apparently, Randall. I don't think we're gonna give you the pack boot. It sounds like that came later. The duck boot was the OG.
44:51 Speaker 05 Do you have this one right, Nate?
44:52 Steven Rinella? Nope.
44:53 Speaker 05 Roman, do you have this one right?
44:54 Speaker 06 I'm feeling suspiciously decent about it.
44:56 Speaker 05 Oh, okay, good. Brody, I didn't know that about you. I didn't know you were a big muscle guy. Oh, God, man, I love have broth and bread.
45:02 Speaker 06 Muscles and fries is probably in my top three meals.
45:05 Speaker 05 Oh, I love that. It's the worst thing is that like we go to Steve's shack and it's just like miles of muscle encrusted shoreline. But we're like never there at a time of year when it's like, yeah, you could, you can go get them. Hmm. Cause the seasons close or they have toxic. Because of that, what are they, that, what, what is it called? That the toxic. Paralytic thing, yeah.
45:25 Speaker 06 Yeah. Second Street Bistro in Livingston is probably where we do most of our muscles and fries.
45:32 Speaker 05 P E I muscles, named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Nate is gonna make one last change, then we're gonna flip him over.
45:44 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Prince Edward Island. Roman, Prince Edward Island. Randall, same answer. John, without an answer. Corinne and Brody say Prince Edward Island.
45:55 Steven Rinella? That's not, that's not what.
45:56 Speaker 05 No, he's not. Says Prince Edward.
45:58 Speaker 06 That's not the name of an island?
46:00 Speaker 05 Come on.
46:02 Speaker 06 I think we're gonna give it to you.
46:04 Speaker 05 Go ahead, don't give it to me, I don't care.
46:07 Speaker 06 Yeah, dude.
46:10 Speaker 05 Belly was like grumbling. The answer is Prince Edward Island. That's fine, don't give it to me, I really don't care. Edward muscle.
46:17 Steven Rinella? That's not.
46:18 Speaker 06 I would give it to him, but if he wants to go to a tiebreaker.
46:20 Steven Rinella? I'd give it to him.
46:21 Speaker 05 No.
46:21 Steven Rinella? Okay. I don't want to.
46:22 Speaker 05 We can do a tiebreaker. We're gonna give him the point. PEI mussels are a type of blue mussels that comes from the coastline of Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island. Now a bunch of people are gonna be like, Brody didn't get it, Brody. They are considered. So let's go to a tiebreaker. They are considered a superior mussels, thanks to the cold nutrient-rich waters where they're raised. PEI mussels are known for their jet-black shells, sweet flavor, and tender meat.
46:47 Steven Rinella? Another way of looking at it is if you count pack boot and you don't count Prince Edward mussels, I would have just won outright. So we don't even need to go to a tiebreaker.
46:56 Speaker 05 Sure, we can do that.
46:57 Steven Rinella? If you want a clean ending to the show.
46:58 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah, Randall won it. We'll give it to Brody for Prince Edward mussels. Brody's the winner today with eight correct answers.
47:07 Steven Rinella? I feel like this fell flat.
47:08 Speaker 05 Beats the Shelby index by one point.
47:11 Steven Rinella? Should we just do another episode?
47:11 Speaker 05 Three, three. Brody, where's the five hundred dollars? Man, I don't know. That like whole thing just threw me off.
47:17 Speaker 06 Should we do a tiebreaker, Spencer?
47:20 Steven Rinella? No.
47:21 Speaker 05 We should. Let's, since we have a new conservation director in Mark Kenyon, and we're gonna do like a new version of the LAI, let's throw some money in the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative. Okay, Mark thinks it's coming this summer. We haven't done an auction house of oddities in a while, but we have all kinds of good stuff coming up. All right, join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Thanks, Spencer.
