  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Brody, Randall, Tony, Maggie, Max, Sarah, Lake Pickle and Kaitlyn Lospinoso. Lake, what are you doing in town? First time on trivia?

• 3:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, longtime listener, first time participant. Yeah. I'm, uh, working on a new podcast that's going to go on the Bear Grease feed. Pretty excited about that. It's going to be called Backwoods University.

• 3:17Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought we were going to do Bear Grease trivia. I thought that's what you were going to.

• 3:20Speaker 03

  I, that might be more embarrassing if I didn't know some of that. I don't know. We'll see.

• 3:25Speaker 02

  What's the show about?

• 3:26Speaker 03

  Uh, we're focusing in on like wildlife biology, but also like really focusing on the influence that humans can have on wildlife and their habitat. Cause me and Clay, when we were working on some of the first episodes and just kind of storyboard and stuff out, I was like, man, I can't hardly mention a species of wildlife or a wildlife process or anything that is not somehow heavily influenced by humans. Could be positive, could be negative, but it's a big part of it.

• 3:53Speaker 02

  Okay. Give me some examples of episodes that are on the docket.

• 3:57Speaker 03

  Gotcha. So we've got one coming out on bison, but it's about a history on bison in the eastern United States.

• 4:04Speaker 02

  Oh, all right. They need some love too.

• 4:06Speaker 03

  Man, yeah, I got to, I got to go to a spot in northern Tennessee. It's actually Dwayne Estes, who was on the podcast here, the guy that worked with him, went to a property where they're restoring prairie and they had digitized some of the buffalo trails from the Cumberland settlements. And there's a spot on that property where there's still a like, visible bison trail. Like, trees still cleared out, still a visible trail, it's super cool. So doing that, doing Bob White quail, kind of what happened to them? Why did we used to have a lot of them and now we seemingly don't? So those are some of the big ones.

• 4:43Speaker 02

  On the bear grease feed, when do these come out?

• 4:46Speaker 03

  Monday.

• 4:46Speaker 02

  Monday?

• 4:47Speaker 03

  Monday.

• 4:47Speaker 02

  Like this coming Monday?

• 4:48Speaker 03

  No, no, no. No, it'll be on Monday. The first one's June 9th.

• 4:51Speaker 02

  Alright, pretty soon then.

• 4:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:53Speaker 02

  What's gonna be your strength and your weakness in Meat Eater trivia?

• 4:57Speaker 03

  My strength is gonna be a lot of confidence. My weakness is gonna be, I'm probably not really gonna know a lot of the answers.

• 5:03Speaker 02

  Oh, alright. I think that's backwards from Randall. Randall's strength is he knows a lot of the answers, and his weakness, sometimes he's leaking confidence.

• 5:12Speaker 04

  I have no faith in myself or my abilities.

• 5:16Speaker 02

  Kaitlyn, how do you feel about your chances of Meat Eater trivia?

• 5:19Speaker 05

  Um, yeah, I'm just here for the experience, Spencer.

• 5:23Speaker 02

  Strength and weakness.

• 5:24Speaker 05

  Um, strength is gonna be, uh, anything trapping related or, uh, weird wildlife science questions, I guess. Plants, I'm on top of it.

• 5:35Speaker 02

  Alright, you and Lake have that category down. Alright, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there's a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization the winner's choosing. Here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Amber Langley says, "Would love for you to feature more female trappers if you can find them." Well, Amber? We have Kaitlyn with us today. Kaitlyn, how's your trapping season been?

• 6:11Speaker 05

  Um, well, over now, but I had a really awesome winter. Um, it was kind of a record year for me. Bobcats, coyotes, beaver.

• 6:19Speaker 02

  Hmm. Give us some numbers on them.

• 6:21Speaker 05

  Uh, let's see. Um, 13 beaver, nine coyotes, eight bobcats, um, couple raccoons, couple possums.

• 6:30Speaker 02

  Okay, this was in Kansas?

• 6:32Speaker 05

  In Kansas, um, predominantly public land. I had a nuisance beaver job that, uh, pulled a bunch of them off at the end there. Um, but yeah, mostly public. Um, so I run a super small line. Uh, so yeah, numbers are not going to be like you would get with like a long liner or anything like that. But it's, it's a lot of work. I really enjoy it and every catch is, every catch is like a big deal for me.

• 6:54Speaker 02

  What was the most exciting thing you trapped this year?

• 6:57Speaker 05

  Oh, gosh. Um, I got two doubles on bobcats, which was incredible.

• 7:01Speaker 06

  Like the same trap?

• 7:03Speaker 05

  Oh, no, no, no. Just like, yeah. Just like same, same area, really small areas. I mean, I can't run more than like a dozen traps at a time, like working full time and, and packing in on public land. Um, so yeah, but having, having those two doubles, two of them were like twin cage sets. I was after actually one cat. I didn't know there were.

• 7:23Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 7:24Speaker 05

  I didn't know there were that many in there and, uh, yeah, went, checked the first cage and I had the cat and I was like, oh, that must be the one. Cause it was, you know, it was a big cat. Uh, and then I went to check the second trap and I saw the door was closed and I was like, no way. And sure enough, there was another one.

• 7:39Speaker 02

  Same day.

• 7:39Speaker 05

  Same day.

• 7:40Speaker 02

  That's great. And Kate works with a lot of the furs herself. She made the beaver pillows that were in our auction house of oddities. I think those sold for like a thousand bucks.

• 7:48Speaker 05

  Uh, it was eight, eight hundred five.

• 7:49Speaker 02

  Thousand bucks.

• 7:52Speaker 02

  Uh, are you working on any interesting projects right now with your furs from this last trapping season?

• 7:56Speaker 05

  So I still have to get everything off to the tannery. Um, fell a little behind on that. But, uh, once everything is back, um, probably end of the summer, early fall. Um, I might have enough beaver to start working on a blanket. I would really love to have a blanket. That would stay with me. Um, but I might start, you know, working on more, uh, to put in my shop. Definitely pillows. Um, I love making those.

• 8:21Speaker 02

  There you go, Amber. A female trapper here on Me Deeter Trivia and she's going to be on an upcoming episode of the Me Deeter Podcast.

• 8:28Speaker 04

  Hey Spencer, I know how you like to promote the website.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Uh huh.

• 8:31Speaker 04

  She's been writing some trapping articles for Maggie on the website too.

• 8:35Speaker 02

  Give us an example. What kind of articles we got?

• 8:37Speaker 05

  Um, well, my first one was, uh, uh, how running a trap line made me a better public land deer hunter.

• 8:44Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 8:44Speaker 05

  Um, so yeah, kind of meshing.

• 8:47Speaker 02

  Peterson needs that advice.

• 8:47Speaker 04

  I gotta get me some traps.

• 8:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm kind of meshing both worlds there. Um, but then also some like coyote trapping as, uh, everybody's, well, almost everybody in the hunting world like has some kind of interaction with coyotes, whether it's just like thinking of it as a, as a predator of, you know, the prey that you're hunting, or, um, just kind of a, an interest in them because they're so prevalent on the landscape. So there'll be a, a coyote trapping article, um, and then, uh, kind of like a nest, nest predator. A lot of, it's hard to, hard to talk to anybody who hunts any kind of game bird without getting a comment about, you know, predators and a lot of people are interested in trying to get into predator management, so.

• 9:31Speaker 02

  Caitlin's article's over on the meat eater.com.

• 9:34Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 9:34Speaker 02

  All right, we have some housekeeping today on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about the duck that's named after its long tail feathers that make up 25% of a Drake's body length. The correct answer was what Max?

• 9:46Speaker 06

  Do you want the?

• 9:48Speaker 02

  What was the answer?

• 9:49Speaker 06

  Uh, Old Squaw.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  Uh, the correct answer was a northern pintail, but a few listeners wrote in to point out that long-tailed duck should also be a correct answer.

• 9:59Speaker 05

  Hundred percent.

• 9:59Speaker 02

  They do satisfy all parts of the question. They're named after their long tail, which makes up 27 to 39% of their body length. So if you said long-tailed duck, which is formerly known as the Old Squaw duck, then you got that one correct.

• 10:13Speaker 06

  Sweet.

• 10:13Speaker 02

  Well done.

• 10:14Speaker 04

  Did that change the outcome of that contest?

• 10:16Speaker 02

  Uh, nobody in the room said long-tailed duck. So it only changed the outcome for our listeners at home.

• 10:21Speaker 04

  Gotcha.

• 10:22Speaker 02

  Uh, so go back, give yourself a point for that question.

• 10:25Speaker 06

  I didn't even think pintail.

• 10:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:27Speaker 02

  All right, the Shelby index for today is a 3.5, so our winner should get seven correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 10:39Speaker 03

  The light's not working. This is terrible.

• 10:43Speaker 02

  Okay, use your imagination. Usually the light flickers here.

• 10:48Speaker 02

  Veiled us right when we have guests in town.

• 10:50Speaker 04

  It's on par with how my day is going, you know?

• 10:53Speaker 02

  Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is hunting. This will be multiple choice and this first great question is via Matthew Stilver. Which of these states harvests the most deer? Is it Georgia? Kansas? Ohio? Or South Carolina?

• 11:14Speaker 02

  Of these states, which one harvests the most deer? Georgia? Kansas? Ohio? South Carolina? The room is thinking hard about this one. No quick answers, but Brody now has one.

• 11:29Speaker 02

  Brody, how do you feel about your answer? Nah. Okay. Of these states, which one harvests the most deer? Georgia? Kansas? Ohio? South Carolina?

• 11:45Speaker 02

  Maxwell, do you have an answer?

• 11:47Speaker 06

  I do not.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  Okay. I think we're waiting on you.

• 11:49Speaker 03

  Were you right?

• 11:51Speaker 02

  Brody is observing.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  I like that answer, Max.

• 11:54Speaker 02

  Maggie, do you have an answer?

• 11:55Speaker 06

  Is it because I got it right? Because I got it wrong?

• 11:58Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Georgia. Kate says South Carolina. Lake, South Carolina. Tony, South Carolina. Maggie, Kansas. Randall, Ohio. Max, Ohio. Brody, Ohio. Every state was represented in our room. The correct answer... Is Georgia! Only Sarah got that one right. According to OnX data from 2022, Georgia harvests 1.2 million deer each year. That's followed by Ohio at 800,000, South Carolina at 700,000, and Kansas at 600,000.

• 12:38Speaker 02

  So Georgia harvests almost as many deer as South Carolina and Kansas combined. Question two, the topic is fishing. Rapala says this medical instrument is, quote, "an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water."

• 12:58Speaker 02

  It's a quote from Rapala. They say this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. Brody, do you have this one right?

• 13:07Speaker 04

  I better.

• 13:08Speaker 02

  Tony looks confident as well. Tony, do you have one of these in your boat? Yes, I do. Okay, do you have one of these in your boat, Brody?

• 13:16Speaker 04

  Boat bag?

• 13:17Speaker 02

  Boat bag, okay.

• 13:18Speaker 04

  I suppose there's one in there somewhere.

• 13:19Speaker 02

  All right. Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. The room looks confident on this one. Maybe not so much Randall. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 13:31Speaker 04

  I've, I, I don't know.

• 13:33Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 13:34Speaker 04

  Just, whatever.

• 13:38Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna tell you. Randall ate four hot dogs before noon today.

• 13:43Speaker 02

  In like five minutes.

• 13:44Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh, no. It's pretty impressive.

• 13:46Speaker 02

  Alex Jones, when he was at court, he gave an excuse about not remembering one of his children's birthday because he said he ate a big old bowl of chili that day.

• 13:54Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 13:55Speaker 02

  His brain was in a chili fog. Which Randall is experiencing, the hot dog fog.

• 14:00Speaker 04

  Yeah. I had two, two ideas for an answer on this one.

• 14:04Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 14:04Speaker 04

  I'm just not sure. You need to not sweat the spelling and just get something down, buddy.

• 14:10Speaker 02

  Max has wrote something down and erased twice now.

• 14:14Speaker 04

  Spencer's very lenient with spelling.

• 14:16Speaker 02

  We are pretty lenient. Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying forceps. Kate says hemostat. Lake and Tony say forceps. Maggie says hemostats. Randall and Max and Brody say forceps. They got it. The correct answer is forceps.

• 14:45Speaker 06

  All sorts of different spelling.

• 14:47Speaker 05

  Okay, is there a difference?

• 14:48Speaker 02

  A hemostat has curved. I think they have curved blades.

• 14:51Speaker 04

  Oh, come on, give them. Hemostat.

• 14:53Speaker 05

  I say.

• 14:55Speaker 04

  Right, right.

• 14:56Speaker 06

  I was gonna write down needle nose. Would you have accepted that?

• 14:59Speaker 04

  No. They're the same damn thing.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  We'll give you, we'll give you a hemostat.

• 15:03Speaker 05

  I call them hemostats.

• 15:04Speaker 02

  Okay, does it have a curved end on it?

• 15:06Speaker 05

  No.

• 15:06Speaker 02

  Does Repola, does the, the manufacturer call it that?

• 15:10Speaker 05

  Well, I don't have Repola's brand.

• 15:11Speaker 04

  We used to sell them at the shop and they were labeled hemos.

• 15:14Speaker 02

  Hmm, did they have a curved, uh, blade on them?

• 15:17Speaker 04

  Some did, some didn't.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  Okay, alright.

• 15:18Speaker 04

  You can buy them either way.

• 15:19Speaker 02

  We'll, we'll take either answer. Forceps have hinged handles that control two blades or tongs. They are used in the medical field to grasp and hold objects. Anglers use them to remove hooks from fish and sometimes themselves. Question three, the topic is wildlife. This next great question, this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Brendan Compton. For sending this great question, Brendan is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia@themead eater.com. Often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven letter word is defined as a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background. Oh my god.

• 16:05Speaker 02

  This is question three. The topic is wildlife. Often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven-letter word is defined as, quote, "A life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background." Randall, our only player with an answer, Sarah as well. Sarah, you have this one right.

• 16:28Speaker 05

  I believe so, yeah.

• 16:29Speaker 02

  Randall, you have this one right.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  I believe so.

• 16:33Speaker 02

  Seven-letter word defined as a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background.

• 16:43Speaker 02

  Lake, you have an answer?

• 16:44Speaker 03

  I do.

• 16:45Speaker 02

  Do you like your answer?

• 16:46Speaker 03

  The letter count matches up, but that's the only thing I'm confident in.

• 16:50Speaker 05

  That's where I'm at too, buddy.

• 16:51Speaker 03

  I've heard, I've heard it called that before, but I'm like, that dude, that was not technical when he called it that. I don't look.

• 16:57Speaker 02

  Okay. We'll see. This is question three. Often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven-letter word is defined as a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background.

• 17:15Speaker 02

  Brody is stumped. He thinks it's... His humunculus knows it, not him.

• 17:20Speaker 04

  All I can think of is the last three letters.

• 17:23Speaker 02

  Hmm, okay.

• 17:25Speaker 04

  If it's what I'm thinking.

• 17:27Speaker 02

  Tony, do you have this one, right?

• 17:28Speaker 07

  I have no idea. I have an answer.

• 17:33Speaker 05

  I have an answer and I'm pretty sure it's wrong.

• 17:35Speaker 07

  Right, I'm kinda leaning that direction.

• 17:37Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying diorama.

• 17:43Speaker 06

  Nope, can't get it.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  Kate says diorama. Lake says habitat. Tony says diorama. Uh, Maggie, display. Randall, diorama.

• 17:52Speaker 05

  Going for the trick answer.

• 17:53Speaker 02

  Max says aquarium. Brody, without an answer, the correct answer is diorama.

• 17:58Speaker 06

  That's good. Nice job, Sarah.

• 17:59Speaker 02

  Well done, room. The first diorama depicting a natural habitat was made by painter and taxidermist Carl Ickley in 1889. It was featured in New York's American Museum of Natural History, blending artistic skill with scientific accuracy. His goal was to captivate audiences and raise awareness about the importance of habitat conservation. Question four. The topic is conservation. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs.

• 18:37Speaker 06

  That was fast.

• 18:38Speaker 05

  I told you.

• 18:39Speaker 02

  Brody and Randall already have their answer. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs.

• 18:52Speaker 04

  Spencer, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that last... Two weeks ago, I was at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri.

• 19:00Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 19:01Speaker 04

  Incredible dioramas.

• 19:02Speaker 02

  Do they?

• 19:02Speaker 04

  Incredible dioramas.

• 19:04Speaker 02

  I bet they do them well. Was it all game animals? What did they have? Give me some examples.

• 19:08Speaker 04

  Uh, I mean, all types. Like, there's one room that just has every sheep and goat species from around the world on this big mountain background, up on the rocks. And it progresses through like morning light, daylight.

• 19:24Speaker 04

  Sunset, dark. Really, just a breathtaking museum.

• 19:31Speaker 02

  Denver's museum, their Museum of Natural History, I think that's what it is called. They have some great dioramas as well. They have some Easter eggs in theirs. They painted in their background some trolls that you're supposed to look for. I think each one of them has a troll somewhere painted there. So if you're at the Denver Museum of Natural History, keep your eyes peeled for those. A black cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs. This is question four. Is everybody ready? Max?

• 20:05Speaker 06

  Why are you looking at me?

• 20:05Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying "substenance." Kate says "trophic." Lake says "trophic." Tony says "trophic." Maggie and Randall say "trophic." Max says "common." Brody says "trophic." The correct answer is "trophic." Trophy cascades can occur when you add or remove a top predator from the food chain. Some examples include sea otters and kelp forests, vultures and rabies, and most famously, wolves and beavers in Yellowstone National Park. Wasn't that one debunked, though? I think, um, yeah, I think there's some disagreement.

• 20:44Speaker 02

  And I think the, the modern take is that it's, it's not necessarily that cute and simple, that wolves show up and then willows grow and then beavers return. Round to question five. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Heather Booth.

• 21:00Speaker 06

  I need to pick it up.

• 21:01Speaker 02

  According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America.

• 21:09Speaker 07

  This feels like a trick.

• 21:11Speaker 05

  I know.

• 21:12Speaker 02

  According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Tony has declared it to be a trick. Brody has yet to write down an answer.

• 21:25Speaker 07

  Kaitlyn, I have never seen somebody write down an answer as quickly as you did for that last question. I know. I thought that whiteboard was gonna fly out of your hand. You brought it to your face so fast.

• 21:36Speaker 02

  Think it is a trick. Wow. According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America.

• 21:43Speaker 07

  Brody, it feels like a trick, doesn't it?

• 21:45Speaker 02

  We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this.

• 21:48Speaker 03

  I don't want to talk about it too much, though.

• 21:49Speaker 02

  Okay, right. Two players are now worried it's a trick.

• 21:56Speaker 02

  Randall, do you have an answer?

• 21:59Speaker 04

  I have an answer, but I don't think it's a good one.

• 22:01Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 22:04Speaker 04

  I only have so many quail in my brain.

• 22:07Speaker 03

  Also, is this like as of now or historically or?

• 22:13Speaker 02

  This is according to Quail Forever.

• 22:15Speaker 05

  I think that's probably, it's probably current.

• 22:18Speaker 03

  It is, but it's like, could be very appropriate.

• 22:21Speaker 02

  According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Is everybody ready?

• 22:27Speaker 05

  Turns out I don't know many quail species.

• 22:29Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah and Kate and Lake and Tony and Maggie and Randall saying Bob White. Max says California. Brody says Myrens. The correct answer is Bob White Quail. We ruined it very well.

• 22:50Speaker 06

  I was thinking gambles too.

• 22:51Speaker 02

  Bob White Quail are found in thirty-nine states ranging from New England to Mexico. They are classified as a non-migratory bird, although there is one population in the Smoky Mountains that moves from low elevation wintering habitats to high elevation breeding habitats each year.

• 23:08Speaker 03

  Which ones are ones that was in Mexico?

• 23:10Speaker 04

  I could not afford to miss that one.

• 23:11Speaker 02

  Montezuma, are there scaled, blue?

• 23:15Speaker 06

  gambles, California.

• 23:18Speaker 03

  I was thinking all of Mexico.

• 23:20Speaker 02

  In our pre-show banter, we had Lake talk about the Bob White Quail, so that was just a coincidence.

• 23:26Speaker 04

  Would have been real bad if I'd have missed that one.

• 23:28Speaker 05

  I hope it was just a coincidence.

• 23:31Speaker 02

  Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 23:36Speaker 03

  It's got a pretty good game.

• 23:37Speaker 04

  Oh geez.

• 23:39Speaker 03

  Max, despite your declaration that Spencer invites you every week for comic relief, that's just not true, but you do have one point in our last place.

• 23:49Speaker 03

  Brody is coming up next with two points.

• 23:51Speaker 05

  Not only are you bad, but you're not funny either.

• 23:55Speaker 02

  But he is handsome.

• 23:58Speaker 05

  Trying really hard.

• 23:59Speaker 04

  Classically good looking.

• 24:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, well dressed, nice voice.

• 24:03Speaker 03

  Lake and Maggie are tied up with three points and we've got a four-way tie for first currently between Sarah, Tony, Randall, and Old Trapper Kate.

• 24:14Speaker 02

  I'm rooting for ladies points.

• 24:20Steven Rinella?

  I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house, they all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you've got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of

• 27:00Speaker 02

  Question six. The topic is biology. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as, quote, "a group of young birds that were all born at the same time."

• 27:16Speaker 02

  Brody, Lake, Tony, all quick to answer this one. This is question six. The topic is biology. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as "a group of young birds that were all born at the same time." Randall has now joined them with an answer. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 27:36Speaker 04

  Geez, I hope so, given how tight this game is, Spencer.

• 27:42Speaker 02

  Four players with four points. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as "a group of young birds that were all born at the same time."

• 27:55Speaker 02

  Handsome Maximus is struggling though.

• 27:59Speaker 03

  Maximus.

• 28:00Speaker 04

  He looks good doing it.

• 28:01Speaker 06

  I should've worn a collared shirt today.

• 28:06Speaker 03

  I'm gonna call you handsome Maximus from here on out.

• 28:09Speaker 02

  I ask you this all the time, Max, and I always forget the answer. Is it Maxwell, Maximus, Maximilian? What's the full name?

• 28:16Speaker 06

  Just Max.

• 28:16Speaker 02

  Just Max?

• 28:17Speaker 06

  Just kidding, it's Maxwell.

• 28:18Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 28:19Speaker 06

  But I wish it was like Maximus, Premius, Promus.

• 28:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, just lie to us next time.

• 28:25Speaker 02

  Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Is everybody ready?

• 28:35Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying hebeary.

• 28:40Speaker 07

  I had that.

• 28:41Speaker 02

  Kate says brood. Lake says clutch. Tony says brood. Maggie brood. Randall brood. Max yearling. Sticking beef. Brody says clutch. The correct answer is brood.

• 28:55Speaker 06

  Oh, come on. Look up clutch.

• 28:57Speaker 02

  I will look up the definition. I was gonna say. We'll see if that's, if that is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time.

• 29:05Speaker 07

  I had clutch right away, and then I thought about it, and I thought it was brood.

• 29:10Speaker 02

  We're gonna look this up and see.

• 29:12Speaker 06

  We need a drummer.

• 29:13Speaker 05

  Well, see, the problem is the clutch is the eggs.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was so confident.

• 29:17Speaker 04

  That's the distinction.

• 29:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:19Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  A group of eggs fertilized at the same time.

• 29:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:24Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 29:24Speaker 06

  That's a clutch?

• 29:25Speaker 05

  That's the clutch.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  That's what it says a clutch is.

• 29:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, I know.

• 29:27Speaker 02

  Um, we're gonna go look again here.

• 29:30Speaker 06

  You should actually get negative points for that.

• 29:31Speaker 04

  That's why I have a brood of chickens in my garage right now, not a clutch of chickens.

• 29:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, they're probably not a clutch anymore, once they're born. Again, this was a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. I don't think we're going to give it to you if you said clutch. Animals that produce broods include birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. There are brood parasites, which are animals that trick other animals into raising their young. Some species that use this strategy include cowbirds, black-headed ducks, moco-kid catfish, and cuckoo bumblebees.

• 30:09Speaker 06

  What's a black-headed duck?

• 30:11Speaker 02

  Don't know. I think it's a South American thing.

• 30:13Speaker 03

  It's a duck with a black head.

• 30:16Speaker 02

  Question seven. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Frank Boda. This elk call shares its name with a Two Live Crew song.

• 30:29Speaker 02

  This elk call shares its name with a Two Live Crew song.

• 30:36Speaker 05

  I don't even know who Two Live Crew is.

• 30:39Speaker 04

  Is it hip-hop act?

• 30:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, what genre of music are we talking?

• 30:43Speaker 02

  Two Live Crew. That's your only hint.

• 30:46Speaker 04

  Country and western. The old Miami Hurricanes teams, right? Didn't they run around with the bad boy?

• 30:52Speaker 03

  What I know on this one?

• 30:54Speaker 02

  This elk call shares its name with a Two Live Crew song.

• 30:59Speaker 07

  I'm weirdly confident in this.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  Okay. Tony knows it. Brody, you know this one?

• 31:07Speaker 03

  I only know one elk call that could, it could possibly.

• 31:10Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 31:10Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 31:11Speaker 02

  How much Two Live Crew? What's, what's your rolodex on their music?

• 31:15Speaker 03

  I mean, I, I'm aware that they existed back in the day.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  All right.

• 31:19Speaker 03

  I couldn't tell you the name.

• 31:20Speaker 04

  I think they were one of the groups that like Congress held hearings about how profane their lyrics are.

• 31:25Speaker 05

  Oh, boy.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  Who's, who's wife? Senior's wife, George Senior's wife, was she's the one that?

• 31:32Speaker 04

  Barbara?

• 31:33Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Was she the one that was?

• 31:35Speaker 04

  Possibly.

• 31:36Speaker 03

  I think it was her.

• 31:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, that'd be right. It's because it's like the... Aren't these guys, weren't they running around with like, Michael Irvin and the U?

• 31:45Speaker 02

  Um, I don't know that. You're probably right.

• 31:50Speaker 03

  You're encouraging my answer with your comments.

• 31:52Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, they were the main fixture in the Miami hip-hop scene, it says. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah and Kate saying "bugle." Aw, Tony, that's good. Lake and Tony say "hoochie mama." Maggie says "bugle," Randall says "hoochie mama." Max says "cow yelp." And Brody says "hoochie mama." The correct answer is "hoochie mama."

• 32:21Speaker 02

  The Primos' "hoochie mama" has been on the market for over 20 years. It's so popular that I found a hunting forum post from 2005 that declared elk are getting used to its sound. Now, normally when I reference a song on the show, we play it, but Clay Newcomb would quit if I put that out over our airwaves, so you'll have to go listen to the 1995 hit "Hoochie Mama" on your own time.

• 32:43Speaker 03

  On the, uh, on the live tour, I witnessed Randall play some Chief Keef for Clay in the tour bus. I've never seen a look in a man's eyes, and then Clay, Clay turns to Randall and goes, "You actually listen to this, like you enjoy it."

• 32:56Speaker 04

  I remember, I, whenever I hear that song, whenever I hear that song, I remember.

• 33:01Speaker 02

  What was the song?

• 33:02Speaker 04

  Love Sosa.

• 33:03Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 33:04Speaker 04

  Uh, I remember just Clay looking at me and saying...

• 33:07Speaker 02

  So you, you listen to this?

• 33:12Speaker 02

  Uh, Chief Keef, he was, uh, he was busted for pot in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport.

• 33:18Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 33:18Speaker 02

  Like, pretty recently. What was he doing in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport? I assume performing.

• 33:26Speaker 02

  We're on to question eight. The topic is cooking. This seven-letter word is defined as, quote, "a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried."

• 33:42Speaker 02

  This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. This seven-letter word is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Sarah, you have this one right? Very quick to answer.

• 33:56Speaker 05

  Pretty confident, yeah.

• 33:57Speaker 02

  Randall, you have this one right?

• 33:59Speaker 04

  Seven letters, and they do describe what this question asks for.

• 34:04Speaker 02

  A piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. What do you got, Max?

• 34:10Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 34:14Speaker 03

  This is question eight, you said?

• 34:16Speaker 02

  This is question eight.

• 34:16Speaker 06

  You're from Mississippi, bro.

• 34:19Speaker 03

  We don't call it stuff, we just fry it.

• 34:22Speaker 07

  I know, but you've been eating this shit since you were a baby, I bet.

• 34:25Speaker 05

  I'm really curious, who's doing this to fruit? That is a good question.

• 34:30Speaker 02

  Seven-letter word is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat-

• 34:34Speaker 07

  I think you can deep fry just about anything, right?

• 34:37Speaker 05

  You can, but should you?

• 34:39Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 34:40Speaker 05

  Who's out there deep frying a-

• 34:42Speaker 06

  No, I like, I know what-

• 34:44Speaker 03

  Can you look at my answer first?

• 34:47Speaker 05

  Deep fried watermelon.

• 34:50Speaker 05

  Oh, the whole thing, not even-

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Seven-letter word-

• 34:54Speaker 03

  As long as I spelt it right.

• 34:55Speaker 02

  Is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried.

• 35:03Speaker 04

  This is not right. Whatever I written down is not right.

• 35:06Speaker 02

  Our southern representative, Lake, is struggling on this one.

• 35:11Speaker 05

  That is a thing, like, fair and square.

• 35:13Speaker 02

  He's too close to the subject matter, that's the problem.

• 35:16Speaker 03

  They're gonna, you're gonna say what the answer is, and I'm gonna be like, ugh.

• 35:18Speaker 04

  I don't know if I like my answer anymore.

• 35:20Speaker 03

  I don't like it at all.

• 35:21Speaker 05

  I don't either.

• 35:22Speaker 02

  Seven-letter word, a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Is everybody ready?

• 35:29Speaker 04

  Oh, this is bad.

• 35:31Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Sarah saying tempura. Kate says breaded. Nick says nuggets. Tony says breaded. Maggie says tempura. Randall, same answer. Max says chislick, and Brody without an answer. Nobody got it! The correct answer is fritter. A fritter.

• 35:54Speaker 05

  Okay, fritter is typically like multiple pieces bound together. It's not like one chunk.

• 36:02Speaker 04

  I'm guessing that Spencer has a source for this.

• 36:04Speaker 07

  I'm gonna contest that.

• 36:05Speaker 02

  This was a very specific definition. Nobody got it though, so it doesn't matter. No one got it. Fritters can feature almost anything from apples to clams to corn to ham for a fishy preparation. Check out our recipes on the meat eater dot com called Fish Fritters or Smoked Trout Fritters.

• 36:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, and it's little pieces of fish rolled into balls. It's not a piece of fish.

• 36:27Speaker 02

  Can you look up a definition of tempura for us really quick Spencer? We're not gonna give it to anybody. I will look up a definition.

• 36:35Speaker 05

  I'm just saying, I think your definition of fritter is incorrect.

• 36:38Speaker 02

  Bill is going to give us a scoreboard update.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  I just don't agree with it.

• 36:43Speaker 03

  Here we are. We have, some people have pulled ahead. Um, but one of those people is not Max. Uh, he has one point still.

• 36:51Speaker 03

  Brody, uh, has three points. Sarah, Maggie, and Blake all have four points apiece. Kaitlyn has five and tied up in first place are Tony Peterson and Randall Williams with six points.

• 37:04Speaker 02

  The tempura definition is a Japanese dish of fish, shellfish, or vegetables fried in batter. They do not include fruit in there.

• 37:12Speaker 06

  That was a good guess though.

• 37:13Speaker 02

  No one got it right.

• 37:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was also wondering if tempura is technically deep fried.

• 37:18Speaker 05

  Sure.

• 37:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, it definitely is. Okay.

• 37:22Speaker 04

  But also deep frying wasn't respectable. I never worked at a hibachi grill.

• 37:27Speaker 02

  In the definition, it was deep fried. Question nine, the topic is woodsmanship. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the Weather Channel.

• 37:42Speaker 02

  Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the Weather Channel.

• 37:49Speaker 02

  We're on question nine.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Some quick answers in the room.

• 38:01Speaker 06

  At least I know my months.

• 38:05Speaker 02

  Find out if he does.

• 38:06Speaker 03

  You know how many there are?

• 38:06Speaker 04

  How many?

• 38:07Speaker 06

  Uh, last time I checked, 10.

• 38:09Speaker 02

  Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the Weather Channel.

• 38:16Speaker 05

  Anything you write down is a 1 in 12 chance.

• 38:18Speaker 06

  I know.

• 38:19Speaker 03

  She has a point.

• 38:22Speaker 06

  Well, I can't write down the same month, though, so.

• 38:26Speaker 07

  I mean, you could.

• 38:27Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 38:28Speaker 07

  Please don't.

• 38:30Speaker 02

  Maggie, are you ready?

• 38:32Speaker 03

  That'd be so funny.

• 38:32Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying August and September. Kate says April, May. Lake says October, November. Tony says April, May. Maggie says July, August. Randall says April, May. Max says July, August. Brody says May, June. The three months are April, May, and June. So the room did fairly well. According to data from 2004 to 2023, May is the most dangerous month for tornadoes, followed by April and June. 52% of the country's tornadoes occur in this stretch.

• 39:14Speaker 02

  The least dangerous months are December, January, and February. Phil, let's get another scoreboard update before question 10.

• 39:23Speaker 03

  Uh, it's still tied up. Tony and Randall have seven points apiece. And the only other player still left in the game is Caitlin with six.

• 39:32Speaker 02

  Question.

• 39:32Speaker 05

  Come on, Caitlin.

• 39:33Speaker 04

  If Tony and I both get this right, we'll go to overtime. If we get this wrong, we'll both go to overtime.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  Good. Yes.

• 39:41Speaker 05

  Good job, Brandon.

• 39:43Speaker 02

  Question 10.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  I just wanted to build the suspense for listeners at home.

• 39:47Speaker 02

  The topic is public lands. The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state.

• 40:03Speaker 02

  The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. Randall and Tony are tied. Kaitlyn is one point behind.

• 40:18Speaker 04

  Hmm. Ah.

• 40:21Speaker 05

  This is a Hail Mary.

• 40:23Speaker 02

  1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state.

• 40:32Speaker 04

  So this is, yeah, nevermind. Good plans.

• 40:35Speaker 02

  How do you feel about your answer, Randall?

• 40:36Speaker 04

  I feel pretty good. Not entirely confident, but...

• 40:39Speaker 02

  Alright. How about you, Tony?

• 40:41Speaker 07

  I feel regionally confident.

• 40:43Speaker 02

  Hmm, okay.

• 40:44Speaker 07

  And state-specific, not confident.

• 40:46Speaker 02

  Okay. 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. How about you, Kate? Do you have this one right?

• 40:57Speaker 05

  Um, I'm in the same boat as Tony.

• 40:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 41:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:01Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Washington. Kate says Washington.

• 41:09Speaker 07

  Oh, no.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  Lake says Maine. Tony says Oregon. Maggie says Washington. Randall says Oregon. Max says Washington. Brody says Washington.

• 41:21Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 41:22Speaker 05

  Oh, boy.

• 41:23Speaker 02

  The correct answer is California. No one got that one right.

• 41:29Speaker 04

  Oh, geez.

• 41:30Speaker 05

  Oh, God.

• 41:31Speaker 04

  How embarrassing.

• 41:33Speaker 02

  The Patterson Gimlin film is considered the most famous footage of Bigfoot that exists. It supposedly shows a female Sasquatch walking along Bluff Creek that's located 38 miles south of Oregon and 18 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. In 1998, a man came forward and confessed he was the person in the Bigfoot costume. And in 2002, another man went public saying he created the gorilla suit. But Bob Gimlin denies that the film was a hoax. Here is a remastered version of that footage. Take it away, Phil.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  That is the Patterson Gimlin footage from 1967.

• 42:11Speaker 05

  It really does.

• 42:12Speaker 04

  Straight up just a dude.

• 42:16Speaker 04

  I don't know what you're talking about, man. It looks legit.

• 42:19Speaker 02

  All right, we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil.

• 42:24Speaker 04

  I got the lights now. This is one of those two scenarios I mentioned earlier.

• 42:29Speaker 07

  And then like go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, [bleep] off, man.

• 42:35Speaker 02

  The tie-breaking topic is hunting, and this will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Tony and Randall will be declared the winner, but the rest of the room is going to play along as well, because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Meat Eater will add an extra $100 to the donation at the end of the game. What is the average grain weight of 30 odd six Springfield ammo that's available at Bass Pro Shops?

• 43:03Speaker 04

  Average?

• 43:04Speaker 02

  Average, this, I looked at 63 offerings that they have, and I took the average grain weight.

• 43:12Speaker 04

  So not, so you're not looking for a specific bullet weight? You're looking for just if you add all those up?

• 43:17Speaker 02

  And then divided by 63.

• 43:19Speaker 04

  Gotcha.

• 43:20Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 43:21Speaker 04

  It's a weird way of doing it.

• 43:23Speaker 02

  What is the average grain weight of 30 odd six Springfield ammo?

• 43:28Speaker 04

  This is more fun.

• 43:29Speaker 02

  That's available at Bass Pro Shops. Again, we're down to Tony and Randall, who both have seven correct answers. They nailed the Shelby index, but the rest of the room is playing along as well.

• 43:43Speaker 02

  Tony doesn't kill a lot of things with a rifle. What, uh, what cartridge do you use when you do, though?

• 43:51Speaker 02

  You seem like a 30 odd six man.

• 43:53Speaker 07

  I don't have a 30 odd six. I have a 308 and a 243, and I am very light on rifle kills in my day.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  So your daughters can shoot those guns as well, right?

• 44:03Speaker 07

  Right.

• 44:03Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 44:03Speaker 07

  Right.

• 44:05Speaker 02

  Randall, on the other hand, I imagine he owns just a full gun case of 30 odd sixes.

• 44:10Speaker 04

  I've actually never owned a 30 odd six.

• 44:12Speaker 02

  Wow, okay.

• 44:13Speaker 03

  Shame on you.

• 44:13Speaker 07

  Owned a lot of 30 caliber rifles.

• 44:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:16Speaker 07

  No.

• 44:16Speaker 02

  Un-American.

• 44:17Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 44:18Speaker 02

  What is the average grain weight of 30 odd six Springfield ammo that's available at Bass Pro Shops? And this was looking at 63 of their offerings.

• 44:32Speaker 02

  Tony, very quick to answer. He's not going to revisit his whiteboard. He's going with his gut on this one.

• 44:38Speaker 07

  And math is really my strong suit, so I think I got this.

• 44:41Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 44:41Speaker 05

  I like how Randall was like, are we talking mean, median, or mode? And Tony's like, I don't even know what those words are.

• 44:48Speaker 07

  I just thought of the smallest one I could think of and the biggest.

• 44:51Speaker 02

  There you go.

• 44:52Speaker 07

  Frickin', split the difference.

• 44:54Speaker 02

  And now Randall has gone back to his.

• 44:55Speaker 07

  And then I added five.

• 44:58Speaker 07

  I don't know why.

• 44:58Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 45:00Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 45:01Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying 205. Kate says 170. Lake says 130. Tony says 155. Maggie says 143. Randall says 166. Max says 123. Brody says 170.

• 45:23Speaker 02

  Somebody has it right on the nose.

• 45:26Speaker 04

  Oh, I can't wait for it to be me.

• 45:28Speaker 02

  The correct answer is 166 grains.

• 45:35Speaker 02

  After disliking the question and never owning a 30 odd six, somehow put it right on the money. To be specific, 166.3.

• 45:43Speaker 04

  My goodness.

• 45:45Speaker 02

  An extra $100 donation at the end of the game now.

• 45:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, buddy.

• 45:50Speaker 02

  There are 63 offerings of 30 odd six ammo at Bass Pro. The most common are 150 grain, 180 grain, and 165 grain. The lightest is 125 grain and the heaviest is 220 grain. Randall, what are you gonna do with your $600 donation today? 166, that's, that's very impressive. How did you arrive at that number?

• 46:14Speaker 04

  Well, I went from 163 to 166 there. Uh, I figure at the high end, we're looking at 180s. Low end, we're looking at like a 150, 155 grain. I figured the actual, the mode was probably around 165. And then I just.

• 46:31Speaker 04

  I'm sure there's a 178 grain mixed in there. I think Hornady's Precision Hunters loaded in 168 grain in the 30 out of six. So anyway.

• 46:38Speaker 02

  $600 donation.

• 46:39Speaker 04

  I'd like my $600 donation to go towards backcountry hunters and anglers because as we all know, there's a lot of really stupid, stupid things being proposed by stupid, bad people when it comes to our public lands. And I know Cal has been beating the drum and he hasn't been sleeping well lately. So maybe with another $600 in the war chest at BHA.

• 47:04Speaker 02

  Can ease his mind.

• 47:05Speaker 04

  It can ease his mind a little bit.

• 47:06Speaker 02

  $600 going to BHA, fighting the good fight. Thanks for joining us, Lake. Thanks for joining us, Kaitlyn. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.

  I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you've got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of
