  For over 40 years, the Conservation Fund has raced to protect at-risk land before it's lost. The forests, farmland, open spaces, and places that wildlife call home. They believe conservation shouldn't be a choice between protecting nature and supporting people. It should advance both in harmony. With over 9 million acres protected across all 50 states, the Conservation Fund secures the irreplaceable lands we love. Learn more at conservationfund.org.

  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Neuharth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Randall, Corey, Nate, Seth, Brody, and Cal. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of 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]. The subject line, IFAQ. Today, I'm asking the question, what are you guys gonna be for Halloween? Tomorrow?

• 2:34Speaker 04

  I'm gonna be hunting.

• 2:35Speaker 03

  Hunting, okay. Couple hunters in the room for Halloween. Corey, you got some kids.

• 2:40Speaker 05

  Sure do.

• 2:41Speaker 03

  Hey, kid, what are you gonna be for Halloween? Last year, you were Merlin the Wizard, which was an award-winning costume here at Meat Eater, right?

• 2:47Speaker 05

  Yep. Last year, my wife picked out my costume, bought it, gave it to me. I wore it. This year, she has not, and I have put in the same amount of effort this year as I did last year, so...

• 2:56Speaker 03

  A hunter, you're gonna be that?

• 2:57Speaker 05

  I am going hunting in the morning.

• 2:58Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:59Speaker 05

  And trick-or-treating in the afternoon, and I might just keep my camo on. Hopefully, it's covered in blood.

• 3:03Speaker 03

  Phil the Engineer, Halloween?

• 3:04Speaker 06

  Oh geez, I don't have a costume this year.

• 3:07Speaker 03

  I can't believe that.

• 3:08Speaker 06

  What? Everyone is so surprised.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  I'm gonna put the odds at like, negative 500 of that, which means you'd have to bet $100 to win $20. That's how stunned I am.

• 3:18Speaker 06

  Well, I'm sorry for your loss. Yeah, I don't, I, I'm not a huge dresser-upper for, for Halloween. I like the movies, I like the, I like the vibes, I like the spookiness. I don't like putting on an uncomfortable costume. I don't like it.

• 3:32Speaker 03

  How about kids? What are they gonna be?

• 3:34Speaker 06

  Uh, one of my kids is a bag of Jet Puff Marshmallows, and, and the other one is like a Ghostface Alts costume. It's got like a red, red face instead of white.

• 3:42Speaker 03

  How about Corey Jr.?

• 3:43Speaker 04

  Like the Scream mask?

• 3:44Speaker 03

  The mask from Scream?

• 3:46Speaker 06

  The mask from Scream, that's right.

• 3:47Speaker 05

  Marshall's gonna be a ninja. He's got throwing stars and the little try.

• 3:51Speaker 04

  My older kid, I didn't have to get him a costume this year. He just went with the same one from last year.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  Which is?

• 3:57Speaker 04

  A banana.

• 3:58Speaker 03

  A banana, okay.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  I like the ninja, man. I think in my days, I think I did at least four or five years of ninja. It's also good for just sneaking around that night. Exactly. Cause when you're done trick-or-treating, you're like, let's go undercover, boys.

• 4:13Speaker 04

  We have a room full of hunters and TBD for Corey. Well, Spencer, I, Yannis here, am going to dress up as Jack Nicholson from The Shining and my wife and her sister are gonna be the twins. Great. Okay, are you wearing it to the office tomorrow then? Uh, probably not. Aww.

• 4:31Speaker 07

  Do you have an oversized tricycle?

• 4:34Speaker 04

  I don't have that.

• 4:35Speaker 08

  I gotta say, I, like, you need Randall's hair to pull off Jack Nicholson.

• 4:40Speaker 04

  I know, I know. I'm still kinda working on. Yeah, that's great.

• 4:44Speaker 07

  Or Mel Gibson.

• 4:45Speaker 04

  So do you guys have an event?

• 4:46Speaker 07

  Original Braveheart.

• 4:47Speaker 04

  Here's Yannis. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law usually just throw like a neighborhood kinda party, so there'll be, you know. What were you last year? Dozen people. Uh, geez, last year might have been the year I dressed up as a, I was like a, a businessman that came back from the dead. Oh wow. To, and so I had, I was like full suit, this kinda zombie, uh, face paint, and I had a briefcase, but then in my other hand, I can't remember, I had like a ice fishing pole and some other outdoorsy thing and the, the bit was that, "Don't work so much, go fishing more."

• 5:26Speaker 08

  But it was like- Are you gonna drink a bunch of caffeine to get that crazy Jack Nicholson look in here?

• 5:30Speaker 04

  I, I should.

• 5:31Speaker 07

  But was it like a sexy businessman that came back from the dead?

• 5:35Speaker 04

  Uh, no, I had zombie makeup on.

• 5:37Speaker 07

  I just always think that's a fun question to ask about anybody's Hollywood, Halloween costume. Like a sexy banana? Sexy ninja?

• 5:47Speaker 07

  Yeah, I realize that crossed the line, sorry.

• 5:49Speaker 04

  Uh, I'm dressed as a Canadian this year.

• 5:51Speaker 07

  It's just the only costume.

• 5:53Speaker 04

  Or Jay, Jay Leno.

• 5:54Speaker 08

  I don't feel like that's a costume for you, that's just like a normal day.

• 5:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, what else are you gonna do other than what you're doing right now? Just a, just a Canadian.

• 6:01Speaker 08

  Go Blue Jays. Yeah, exactly.

• 6:03Speaker 04

  Are you gonna be attending your, your front door?

• 6:06Speaker 03

  Uh, no, we, we, we are a house that puts the, the candy bowl on the porch. Kids love you. You know, take, take two.

• 6:15Speaker 04

  Are you there or do you go to the bar or something?

• 6:18Speaker 03

  No, we, we will be there and then usually spy on them with the Ring camera. I enjoy that. What?

• 6:25Speaker 07

  That's so weird.

• 6:26Speaker 03

  To like, see what kind of reviews we get because some kids are still, some kids are jerks.

• 6:31Speaker 09

  A bunch of money on the internet from, that's weird.

• 6:34Speaker 04

  Hold on, you're at your house and you don't answer the door and participate?

• 6:38Speaker 03

  It's better for everybody.

• 6:39Speaker 07

  It's so much more excited when they don't know you're watching them.

• 6:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 6:42Speaker 09

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna show up on your Ring camera and put a little sign there that says, hey kids, don't pee in this. And we'll see what happens.

• 6:50Speaker 04

  Do the old paper bag and dog poop trick for them. Is this the part in the show where you're gonna bring up how you, uh, left the bar early when you invited me out for beers the other day?

• 7:01Speaker 03

  No, but you're invited out today, Yanni. We're doing another happy hour today.

• 7:05Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 7:05Speaker 03

  You be there this time.

• 7:06Speaker 04

  Well, you're gonna stay for more than 20 minutes?

• 7:08Speaker 03

  Randall's made the observation that people at this company are bad at getting beers after work. So, don't disappoint us.

• 7:15Speaker 04

  I've, I've made it every time.

• 7:17Speaker 07

  Yannis assumes that we, we're only there for 15 or 20 minutes because he assumes we started drinking at 4:45.

• 7:23Speaker 03

  I lied to him. I lied to him that day. We bailed early.

• 7:28Speaker 03

  We got some housekeeping to get to before Yanni reveals any more company secrets. Jeopardy is stealing again and they're barely trying to hide it. Back in January, we had a question that said, "This Kentucky bourbon, fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunt in 1940. The correct answer was wild turkey." Then, on October 20, on the October 28th episode of Jeopardy, they had a question that was eerily similar for Final Jeopardy. It read, "This brand got its name in 1940 after a distillery executive took friends on a hunting trip."

• 8:06Speaker 04

  Son of a gun!

• 8:07Speaker 03

  Nine months apart, nearly word for word, the same way I wrote it, the biggest difference is about half of the players here got that one right while nobody on Final Jeopardy knew the answer. So...

• 8:20Speaker 07

  Nobody drinks anymore.

• 8:21Speaker 04

  Spencer, I'm a little worried that the Jeopardy, uh, executives are gonna do some head hunting and steal you from me.

• 8:28Speaker 03

  That'd be kinda fun.

• 8:30Speaker 04

  It should make you feel good and it also shows how much work the hosts of this show has to do to come up with 10 decent questions.

• 8:38Speaker 03

  Either they are thieving from me, or I'm just, yeah, doing that good of a job that it qualifies for Final Jeopardy. I don't think they're stealing. I don't think they are, but it is like a crazy coincidence.

• 8:49Speaker 07

  I don't think they know they're stealing.

• 8:50Speaker 03

  They have the entire universe to get questions from and then word for word, nine months apart for a question that's not like relevant this year or something. They could have had that question anytime in the last 30 years.

• 9:01Speaker 07

  I like it.

• 9:02Speaker 04

  I want to see your clothing style hosting Jeopardy.

• 9:05Speaker 03

  Mmm, they'll get Canadian tuxedos there as well. Alright, the Shelby index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 9:25Speaker 04

  The door creaking?

• 9:36Speaker 03

  Question one, the topic is hunting. This first great question is via Randy Hodge. Which of these is not a straight wall cartridge? Is it 450 Bushmaster, 280 Ackley Improved, 4570 Government, or 350 Legend? A confident room, this may be a 100 percenter for the folks sitting in the media studio. Which of these is not a straight wall cartridge? 450 Bushmaster, 280 Ackley Improved, 4570 Government, or 350 Legend?

• 10:13Speaker 04

  I don't think I have... maybe I've shot a couple of these, but I don't think I've ever killed an animal with either of these calibers.

• 10:23Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Corey? Yes, sir. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis, and Nate, and Seth, the entire room says 280 Ackley Improved. They got it. The correct answer is the 280 Ackley Improved. The 450 Bushmaster, 4570 Government, and 350 Legend are three of the most popular straight wall cartridges on the market. A straight wall cartridge has a cylindrical case that lacks a bottleneck, which the 280 Ackley Improved has. Jordan Sillers called it "an underappreciated cartridge" in his article on the meat-eater.com called "The Three Most Underrated Hunting Calibers." Cal, you love that cartridge.

• 11:02Speaker 09

  I do, I do.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  What do you like so much about it?

• 11:05Speaker 09

  Well, Yanis and I used to talk about it because, growing up, there was no, in my opinion, and I was guiding at the time, no killing rounds for the 7mm mag. And 7mm mag was wildly popular, but when a client would bring one into camp, we would just roll our eyes and be like, "Boy, something is not going to die well." What'd you used to call it? Seven Mickey Mouse?

• 11:28Speaker 04

  That's right. That came from Scott Justice.

• 11:31Speaker 09

  Oh, did it? Yeah. The old outfitter called it "the backfiring boat anchor." And the 280 Ackley Improved is like 100 feet per second slower than the 7mm mag. You know, they're very, very close. I think that's right. But that is the first rifle I purchased as an adult. Got it with my BHA lifetime membership. It was a big, big deal. And then had to call Kimber and be like, "Hey, I don't want that. Don't want that Sitka camouflage on that thing."

• 12:10Speaker 03

  Do it all around. The only thing maybe like going against it is just like availability in ammo. It's not the same as walking into a sportsman's warehouse and looking for 30 odd six.

• 12:23Speaker 09

  They do have it. And the Accubonds is what I loved out of that thing. And, I mean, absolute killing round. Elk and deer. And, yeah, just, just great. Highly, highly recommend.

• 12:37Speaker 03

  Randall, do you have a strong take on the 280 Ackley Improved?

• 12:42Speaker 10

  I don't.

• 12:44Speaker 07

  It's an imptweener.

• 12:45Speaker 10

  Okay.

• 12:45Speaker 07

  It's not a Magnum bolt face, but as Cal said, it has a higher muzzle velocity than compared to like a 7mm O8. So it drives those 7mm bullets near Magnum, but it's a smaller case.

• 13:00Speaker 08

  Lower recoil.

• 13:01Speaker 07

  Lower recoil.

• 13:02Speaker 08

  Lightweight because it doesn't have the big mag.

• 13:05Speaker 07

  Yeah, a lot of folks like it as a mountain rifle that approaches Magnum performance without the longer action and all that stuff.

• 13:13Speaker 10

  But yeah.

• 13:14Speaker 07

  Yeah, not.

• 13:15Speaker 08

  Where's Randall's gun podcast?

• 13:17Speaker 07

  There's been a two eighty actually guy.

• 13:18Speaker 08

  Wrong if you're listening.

• 13:20Speaker 07

  That forty five seventy though.

• 13:23Speaker 08

  Speaking of that forty five seventy, is it fair to say Randall that that was a straight wall cartridge before straight wall cartridges were a thing for deer hunters?

• 13:33Speaker 07

  Hmm, yeah, I mean.

• 13:35Speaker 08

  I mean, like people shot them before they had to shoot straight.

• 13:38Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, and it's a military, it's a military round, but yeah, it's one of the first like mainstream.

• 13:44Speaker 11

  That's the oldest round up there, right?

• 13:46Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 13:47Speaker 10

  Speaking of.

• 13:47Speaker 07

  The others are just little babies.

• 13:49Speaker 10

  I got a Springfield trapdoor 1886 that I need some work done on, so if there's any gunsmiths listening.

• 13:55Speaker 03

  Seth, Seth could do it for you.

• 13:57Speaker 07

  This is a hell of a first question.

• 13:59Speaker 03

  Question two. The topic is fishing. What does the fishing conservation acronym AIS stand for?

• 14:08Speaker 08

  I thought we've had this. I believe we've had this.

• 14:10Speaker 10

  Nope.

• 14:11Speaker 08

  Have not.

• 14:11Speaker 10

  Nixon.

• 14:12Speaker 07

  You're thinking of.

• 14:13Speaker 08

  I'm sure of it.

• 14:14Speaker 03

  The fishing conservation acronym AIS stand for? Yanni would get it right if you've had this one before.

• 14:21Speaker 08

  He might not have been in that episode.

• 14:26Speaker 08

  Maybe he was not present for that episode.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Half of our room looks confident.

• 14:31Speaker 08

  Each letter stands for a word.

• 14:33Speaker 07

  Phil, how's that sandal?

• 14:36Speaker 08

  Oh, man, it's so good.

• 14:37Speaker 05

  You haven't dropped it on the floor yet.

• 14:39Speaker 06

  No, I'm being extra careful because I made fun of Steve so much on the way here.

• 14:42Speaker 03

  What sandwich, Phil?

• 14:44Speaker 06

  Those are the Southsider.

• 14:45Speaker 03

  Hmm. Oh, we had a few of those in the room today.

• 14:47Speaker 09

  Nate, you get a crack at the crotch in those pants?

• 14:50Speaker 06

  I'm working on it. I just ordered some Stitch Witch.

• 14:52Speaker 09

  Sick. Thank you.

• 14:55Speaker 03

  What does the fishing conservation acronym AIS stand for?

• 15:00Speaker 09

  Congrats, the dog got a bird, huh?

• 15:02Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 15:03Speaker 09

  Heck, yeah.

• 15:05Speaker 03

  Yanni, how we doing?

• 15:07Speaker 08

  I'm writing.

• 15:07Speaker 06

  I'm trying to focus, though.

• 15:09Speaker 03

  Nate, do you have this one right?

• 15:10Speaker 06

  No, of course not.

• 15:13Speaker 08

  I feel like you're just gonna get this or you're not, so we should just move on.

• 15:17Speaker 03

  Yanni, Nate, and Seth all sitting next to each other, and they can't cheat off of each other because none of them appear to know it.

• 15:24Speaker 09

  Did you guys want Brody's opinion on this? Because he's got one.

• 15:28Speaker 03

  Corey, do you have this one right?

• 15:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, I got it.

• 15:30Speaker 07

  Cal, in your absence, Brody and Nate have developed a really fun dynamic.

• 15:34Speaker 09

  Oh, really?

• 15:35Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 15:35Speaker 05

  Problem is, you've paid for these.

• 15:37Speaker 09

  Father, son?

• 15:38Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 15:39Speaker 08

  He's like a rebellious teenager kind of thing.

• 15:42Speaker 07

  And daddy. He's like Maxwell.

• 15:44Speaker 08

  Out gets in trouble when he should be grounded at home, but he...

• 15:49Speaker 03

  What does the fishing conservation acronym AIS stand for? Seth, do you like your answer?

• 15:56Speaker 06

  Uh, sure, because it's all I got.

• 15:58Speaker 03

  Okay, how about you, Nate?

• 15:59Speaker 08

  That's the spirit, Seth.

• 16:01Speaker 03

  Yanni, do you give up?

• 16:02Speaker 06

  I'm not sure I understand the logic, Seth, but good on you.

• 16:05Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says, "American inshore society." Nate says, "Always in sewage." Seth, "Aquatic invasive species." Randall and Corey and Cal and Brody have the same answer, aquatic invasive species. They got it. It's aquatic invasive species. Aquatic invasive species are unwanted, non-native plants and animals such as curly pond weed, zebra mussels, common carp, and bullfrogs. My first internship was with the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks as an AIS specialist that consisted of sampling bodies of water and conducting angler surveys on high-risk AIS lakes.

• 16:49Speaker 08

  You guys pay the AIS? Fee on your Montana license every year. Was it two bucks?

• 16:55Speaker 03

  Get him. Mm-hmm. Question three, the topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jordan and Brianna Garabrant. For sending this great question, Brianna and Jordan are 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 at the meat eater dot com. Kathy Bates serves Henry Winkler Python as the main course and squirrel for dessert in this 1998 comedy.

• 17:24Speaker 03

  Ooh. Kathy Bates serves Henry Winkler Python as the main course and squirrel for dessert in this 1998 comedy. Cal's got it. Randall's got it. Corey, do you have it? Yep. Okay.

• 17:40Speaker 05

  That was 98.

• 17:41Speaker 07

  Big cinema guy.

• 17:42Speaker 04

  Hard, hard to forget this one if you pay attention to the academy.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:48Speaker 08

  Why can't I remember this?

• 17:50Speaker 03

  Brody knows it, but he doesn't know it.

• 17:52Speaker 07

  Here's the hint, it's a foreign language film.

• 17:52Speaker 08

  I even know the name of the character, like.

• 17:56Speaker 03

  Kathy Bates. Parlez-vous français? Serves Henry Winkler Python as the main course.

• 18:01Speaker 08

  That confirms.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  And squirrel for dessert in this 1998 comedy. Seth, do you have this right?

• 18:08Speaker 11

  Honestly, I don't recognize the names, but I just, I'm just thinking of a scene.

• 18:12Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:13Speaker 11

  That's stuck in my head.

• 18:14Speaker 03

  Nate, do you have this one?

• 18:15Speaker 10

  No, I got a Kathy Bates movie, but I think it's wrong.

• 18:18Speaker 03

  Hmm. What year were you born, Nate?

• 18:19Speaker 10

  96.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:21Speaker 10

  Henry Winkler, big, big fisherman.

• 18:23Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 18:23Speaker 10

  Big angler.

• 18:24Speaker 03

  He gets bullied on Twitter for it.

• 18:26Speaker 07

  He loves, he loves going to, he loves fishing the Henry's Fork in Idaho.

• 18:30Speaker 04

  Came to me.

• 18:31Speaker 10

  That's great.

• 18:32Speaker 05

  Well, yeah, his name's Henry.

• 18:33Speaker 07

  He's written a book about fishing, in fact.

• 18:35Speaker 03

  Kathy Bates serves Henry Winkler Python as the main course.

• 18:39Speaker 04

  I only know one Kathy Bates movie, the one where she smashes his ankles.

• 18:44Speaker 03

  That's the one, that's what made it sound.

• 18:46Speaker 10

  Yep, yep, misery.

• 18:48Speaker 05

  Cross that one off.

• 18:49Speaker 10

  That's a great, great movie.

• 18:51Speaker 11

  Super good.

• 18:53Speaker 03

  Yanni, are you going to come up with an answer? No, no, go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis without an answer, Nate says misery. Then we have Seth, and Randall, and Cory, and Cal, and Brody saying, water boy, that's correct. It's the water boy. Ooh.

• 19:10Speaker 04

  I think we actually showed this to my children recently.

• 19:12Speaker 11

  The bug zapper, right? Wasn't that the?

• 19:15Speaker 03

  The film takes place in the swamps of Louisiana where Kathy Bates lives with her 31-year-old son, Adam Sandler. In addition to python and squirrel, the movie features other Cajun delicacies like frog cakes and grilled gator. Here's the scene where Mama Boucher cooks dinner for Bobby and Coach Klein. Take it away, Phil. Nice. Good tune.

• 19:39Speaker 00

  That snake looks delicious. What part do you think I'm about to eat?

• 19:44Speaker 12

  Uh, basically, a snake don't have parts, but, um, if I had to call it anything, uh, I would say it's his knee.

• 19:54Speaker 00

  Great. His knee. And, uh, what are we having for dessert?

• 20:05Speaker 12

  Squirrel.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  The water boy. They just don't make comedies anymore, you know? Kathy Bates said she threw the script away when it was presented to her and then her niece saw it and said, you gotta do this movie. Adam Sandler's in it.

• 20:21Speaker 11

  I, uh, I asked my wife for Christmas this year for a bug zapper.

• 20:25Speaker 03

  Oh, where's it gonna go? Right on the porch?

• 20:28Speaker 11

  Yeah, well, it'll hang out by the garage. So when I'm laying there at night with the door open, I can hear that.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  There you go. You guys get bad skeeter? Three Forks has a lot worse bugs, right?

• 20:37Speaker 11

  Oh, it's terrible.

• 20:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. Really? There's a swamp over there.

• 20:41Speaker 11

  Yeah, a lot of water in Three Forks.

• 20:43Speaker 03

  Swamp.

• 20:44Speaker 04

  Miasmas.

• 20:45Speaker 11

  The city's in the floodplain.

• 20:46Speaker 03

  Question four. The topic is conservation. The US Air Force sprayed 11 million gallons of this herbicide during the Vietnam War in an effort to clear dense forests.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  Again, this is question. Army veteran knew it. The topic is conservation. The US Air Force sprayed 11 million gallons of this herbicide during the Vietnam War in an effort to clear dense forests.

• 21:17Speaker 09

  You seen that NFL player who eats raccoon? Xavier Leggett?

• 21:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, for the Panthers.

• 21:21Speaker 04

  I like that guy.

• 21:23Speaker 07

  He did a video the other day of, uh, of, uh, stripping the squirrel by standing on its tail and pulling.

• 21:29Speaker 03

  Oh. Dude, I need to follow this guy. Who's this? He's legit.

• 21:33Speaker 07

  He's Xavier Leggett. He's a wide receiver for the, uh, Panthers?

• 21:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:38Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 21:40Speaker 03

  Uh, the US Air Force sprayed 11 million gallons of this herbicide during the Vietnam War in an effort to clear dense forests. Randall knows it. Nate knows it. Yanni knows it. Yeah, maybe. Brody, do you like your answer? I've got two.

• 21:56Speaker 07

  I think so.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  Two answers in my head. Cal, do you have this one right? Well, there are two answers. I would suspect. 11 million gallons of this herbicide. It's very specific. We're only looking for one answer.

• 22:09Speaker 05

  Hold on.

• 22:10Speaker 11

  I'm gonna spell it.

• 22:12Speaker 08

  I don't want to talk. I'll give something.

• 22:13Speaker 09

  Yeah, we'll reconvene.

• 22:17Speaker 05

  What color is it?

• 22:20Speaker 09

  Quiet, you.

• 22:23Speaker 05

  Right? That'd be a big hint, right?

• 22:25Speaker 09

  Cory, you're getting the death stare from Randall over there.

• 22:29Speaker 05

  I need a little help.

• 22:30Speaker 03

  You're within arms reach of Randall, so be careful.

• 22:33Speaker 05

  A little help, Barry.

• 22:34Speaker 03

  I don't think, I don't think Randall knows the answer.

• 22:36Speaker 09

  Oh, of course I know the answer.

• 22:38Speaker 08

  Randall has been having trouble controlling his rage and trivia lately.

• 22:42Speaker 03

  Oh, man, if the color thing is a hint, then I've got the wrong answer.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  He works so hard. He works so hard to hide it.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  Hmm. He's like those monkeys that escaped that you guys talked about on Radio Live.

• 22:53Speaker 09

  The rhesus monkeys.

• 22:54Speaker 03

  You are aggressive. You have COVID and hepatitis.

• 23:01Speaker 05

  Reese's Pieces monkeys.

• 23:03Speaker 08

  Not always.

• 23:04Speaker 05

  I weigh a lot more than 40 pounds though.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  Okay, three out of four he's got. Is everybody ready?

• 23:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm gonna write a dumb answer.

• 23:10Speaker 03

  Brody?

• 23:11Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 23:13Speaker 03

  Corey?

• 23:13Speaker 09

  I think I'm gonna get it wrong.

• 23:14Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis says napalm.

• 23:18Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 23:19Speaker 03

  Nate says Agent Orange.

• 23:20Speaker 05

  Damn it.

• 23:21Speaker 03

  Seth and Randall say Agent Orange. Corey says Roundup. Cal says Agent Orange. Brody crossed out Agent Orange and wrote down DDT.

• 23:31Speaker 08

  Oh.

• 23:31Speaker 03

  The correct answer. Is Agent Orange? About half of the room got that one right. Corey, were you on to the right answer there by asking what color it was?

• 23:41Speaker 05

  I knew it was orange something.

• 23:43Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 23:44Speaker 08

  See, I was confusing Agent Orange with napalm. That's why.

• 23:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, love the smell of napalm. I first wrote down DDT.

• 23:52Speaker 09

  But this is why I'm

• 23:52Speaker 05

  That's an insecticide.

• 23:53Speaker 09

  Saying there's two answers.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  What's the, what's the other answer?

• 23:56Speaker 09

  Cause the, the actual chemical compound.

• 23:58Speaker 05

  Right, that's what I was thinking.

• 23:59Speaker 03

  Why, what would it be? I don't, it's not DDT.

• 24:02Speaker 09

  Roundup. No, it's not, but it's not Agent Orange either.

• 24:04Speaker 03

  If you said that whatever that chemical compound is at home, probably like, uh, four words, go ahead. You give yourself a point.

• 24:11Speaker 05

  HLC one.

• 24:12Speaker 09

  There you go. Yeah.

• 24:13Speaker 03

  Agent Orange was developed in the 1940s and used to clear out vegetation along railroads and power lines. It became the most widely used chemical during the Vietnam War with the US military spraying it on rainforests during Operation Ranch Hand. The herbicide would kill the trees, which then dropped their leaves and made it harder for enemy armies to hide. Agent Orange destroyed about 25% of South Vietnam's jungle, with the effects still being felt today. Question five. The topic is ecology. This next great question is via Corey Betancourt. NOAA defines this six-letter word as, quote, "a swamp or shallow lake system, usually a backwater to a larger body of water."

• 25:00Speaker 03

  Noah defines this six-letter word as a swamp or shallow lake system, usually a backwater to a larger body of water.

• 25:11Speaker 03

  This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

• 25:15Speaker 09

  Noah doesn't have the money to name anything.

• 25:18Speaker 07

  It did at one point.

• 25:20Speaker 09

  Yeah.

• 25:22Speaker 09

  Call it whatever you want.

• 25:23Speaker 07

  And maybe it should be in the past tense.

• 25:25Speaker 03

  I have struggled on a few government websites, researching things this week, because obviously they had like some sort of outage that no one is around to correct. I think it's the USGS that I've been unable to pull up some of the range maps for native species to North America lately.

• 25:42Speaker 09

  Yeah, there's a proposal to further reduce USGS workforce.

• 25:46Speaker 07

  Yeah, USGS is gonna get the hammer.

• 25:48Speaker 09

  Deep, deep, deep cuts.

• 25:51Speaker 03

  They make the best range maps when you're trying to figure out what states a bullfrog belongs in or a

• 25:56Speaker 09

  Oh, water quality monitoring. Snow tell sites.

• 26:01Speaker 03

  Noah defines this six-letter word as a swamp or shallow lake system, usually a backwater to a larger body of water. Yanni without an answer, Brody without an answer, Nate without an answer, Seth without an answer, Cal without an answer. Corey, do you have an answer? Not yet. Okay, only Randall then.

• 26:20Speaker 09

  Can we wait a little bit here?

• 26:23Speaker 07

  Well, I mean, no one else has an answer. We should probably wait.

• 26:27Speaker 07

  As long as they don't dance around the I don't really know if my answer is correct, but it

• 26:32Speaker 03

  You have a six-letter word.

• 26:33Speaker 07

  It struck me like a What's the, what does he say in Apocalypse Now? A diamond bullet. Struck me like a diamond bullet.

• 26:43Speaker 03

  Noah defines this six-letter word as a swamp or shallow lake system, usually a backwater to a larger body of water.

• 26:54Speaker 05

  Five-letter words that work.

• 26:56Speaker 09

  Yeah.

• 27:03Speaker 03

  Six of our players are struggling.

• 27:06Speaker 07

  Hmm.

• 27:07Speaker 03

  Randall not revisiting his answer.

• 27:09Speaker 07

  No.

• 27:10Speaker 03

  Trusting that diamond bullet.

• 27:11Speaker 07

  I'm, I'm struggling to come up with another one.

• 27:15Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 27:15Speaker 07

  To choose between. Wouldn't that be luxurious if I had two options to choose between? Although it's, it's easier for me since I don't.

• 27:23Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 27:24Speaker 07

  Because I could just go with the one that I have.

• 27:25Speaker 03

  Hmm. You can just sit here and help me fill time.

• 27:27Speaker 07

  I'm just trying to fill in with some.

• 27:29Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 27:30Speaker 05

  It came to me.

• 27:31Speaker 07

  Put it, put your board away.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  The diamond bullet has mouth struck Cory.

• 27:34Speaker 05

  Did I? No, I didn't. I'll give him one good in this game, but I'm gonna need one from you.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  Six letter word, a swamp or shallow lake system, usually a backwater to a larger body of water.

• 27:49Speaker 07

  Cory, what are you drinking there?

• 27:50Speaker 05

  Iced coffee. It's called flash chilled, made by portal tea and coffee.

• 27:54Speaker 07

  There's so much color on the can, I assumed it was some sort of kombucha.

• 27:57Speaker 05

  I was hoping it was like a CBD drink or some sort of.

• 28:00Speaker 03

  Hmm. Is everybody ready?

• 28:02Speaker 05

  That would not help my case though.

• 28:04Speaker 03

  Do you have an answer, Brody? No.

• 28:06Speaker 07

  Look for.

• 28:06Speaker 03

  I don't think any.

• 28:07Speaker 07

  A BCB drink.

• 28:08Speaker 03

  Cal, Yanni, you guys give up? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis without an answer. Oh. Nate says channel. Seth without an answer. Randall says lagoon. Cory, lagoon. Did you show him your answer, Randall?

• 28:22Speaker 07

  No, he came to that on his own.

• 28:23Speaker 03

  Refuge.

• 28:24Speaker 07

  Been flipped over since before Spencer finished reading the question.

• 28:27Speaker 03

  Brody without an answer. The correct answer is slough.

• 28:30Speaker 08

  Oh, boy.

• 28:33Speaker 03

  Slough or muskeg. Slough or muskeg. I would, slough is a picture that is being part of a river. I'm telling you Noah's definition. Picture that as a good place to catch a pike under a slip bobber. Although most of the country pronounces it slough, Noah claims that parts of New England say it in a way that rhymes with cow. So it'd be slough. These wetlands provide important habitat for all sorts of fish, amphibians, and birds across the globe. What was the second acceptable? Uh, muskeg.

• 29:02Speaker 09

  Uh huh.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  Hmm. M U S K E G.

• 29:06Speaker 11

  I thought about muskeg, but I thought that was like a dried up.

• 29:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's a dying lake. I went and looked at synonyms for slough to make sure that there were no technicalities and muskeg was one of them. The definition was close enough. I thought I would give it to you if you said muskeg.

• 29:20Speaker 09

  I like it.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  All right, Phil.

• 29:21Speaker 05

  Lagoon, I think is more like of a paradise, paradise type body of water.

• 29:26Speaker 06

  At halftime, we have Yanis with one point in last place. Coming up next is Nate with two. And we have Corey and Brody tied up with three. In first place are Seth, Callan, Randall with four points.

• 29:39Speaker 03

  Noah's definition of lagoon is water separated from larger bodies of water by a natural barrier.

• 29:46Speaker 09

  Hmm.

• 29:46Speaker 07

  Hmm.

• 29:47Speaker 03

  Seems.

• 29:47Speaker 09

  So what's the definition for pond?

• 29:50Speaker 03

  But then, uh, so then a slough is by an artificial barrier. It didn't say there's a barrier at all. It's just saying it's a backwater to a larger body of water.

• 30:00Speaker 09

  I don't know. Right now with the weather.

• 30:01Speaker 03

  Seems like the language is getting a little murky, Randall.

• 30:05Speaker 09

  These are murky waters. There's all sorts of good things going on in the slough.

• 30:08Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 30:09Speaker 09

  Question six, the topic is gear. This outdoor retailer, which is named after the highest point in Lake County, Illinois, filed for bankruptcy in 2017.

• 32:52Speaker 03

  This outdoor retailer, which is named after the highest point in Lake County, Illinois, filed for bankruptcy in 2017. Yanis has an answer. Yanis, is your answer correct?

• 33:05Speaker 04

  I don't know, but it's a good, good, good guess.

• 33:09Speaker 03

  Randall, do you have this one right?

• 33:12Speaker 07

  I've got a guess.

• 33:13Speaker 03

  You seem amused by your guess, too. You had a cracked a smile as you put your whiteboard down. No?

• 33:18Speaker 07

  No, I was thinking about more lagoon jokes I could make.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  This outdoor retailer, which is named after the highest point in Lake County, Illinois, filed for bankruptcy in 2017.

• 33:30Speaker 05

  You ever been to Iceland?

• 33:33Speaker 07

  No.

• 33:33Speaker 05

  You look like a guy who's been to Iceland, is why I ask. But they have the blue lagoon.

• 33:37Speaker 07

  You've been to Iceland.

• 33:38Speaker 05

  I have, yeah.

• 33:39Speaker 03

  You don't look like a guy who's been to Iceland.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  Oh, really?

• 33:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 33:45Speaker 07

  I look like a guy's been to Iceland.

• 33:47Speaker 05

  You do, yeah.

• 33:47Speaker 07

  Look pretentious.

• 33:48Speaker 05

  You look like a Viking.

• 33:49Speaker 07

  Oh.

• 33:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:50Speaker 07

  Well, yeah, my people, my people did visit there hundreds of years ago.

• 33:54Speaker 05

  Of course, yeah. Well, they have the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. It's like a hot spring.

• 34:00Speaker 07

  Sounds like a tiki bar.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Oh, that's like a very, uh, social media popular place to take a dip.

• 34:05Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 34:05Speaker 03

  It is nowadays.

• 34:06Speaker 09

  Are you just saying Randall's the type of person that you associate with hot springs?

• 34:11Speaker 05

  Well, yeah, I've seen him.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, you look like you like hot springs.

• 34:13Speaker 07

  I was at one this weekend, eating a little.

• 34:15Speaker 03

  You look like you love hot springs.

• 34:17Speaker 07

  Eating some prime rib and orange flambe.

• 34:20Speaker 05

  Ooh, you went.

• 34:21Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 34:21Speaker 05

  Not in the hot spring.

• 34:23Speaker 07

  No, not in the hot spring.

• 34:24Speaker 03

  They let him.

• 34:26Speaker 03

  Again, this outdoor retailer, which is named after the highest point in Lake County, Illinois, filed for bankruptcy in 2017. Is everybody ready?

• 34:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:37Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis says Gander Mountain. Nate says Cabelus. Seth and Randall and Cory say Gander Mountain. Cal says Dix. Brody, without an answer, the correct answer is Gander Mountain.

• 34:51Speaker 05

  It's a good joke, though.

• 34:52Speaker 03

  At one point, Gander Mountain had 162 stores across the country, but they were forced into bankruptcy in early 2017 with Camping World winning the bid to take over the company. They then rebranded as Gander Outdoors, followed by Gander RV, and opened and closed dozens of stores in the process. It's unclear what the future holds for Gander, but it seems they've been defunct since 2022.

• 35:17Speaker 09

  Yeah, I know Dix had like some reorganization type stuff going on about the same time.

• 35:23Speaker 07

  Yep, had to do with some gun stuff, I believe.

• 35:25Speaker 09

  Yeah, yeah, big gun stuff.

• 35:27Speaker 03

  I bought my first pair of polarized sunglasses from the Gander Mountain in Fargo.

• 35:32Speaker 09

  God, that's a nice memory.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  And then I lost them bowfishing. I fell in the river, popped off my face.

• 35:38Speaker 05

  My glasses!

• 35:39Speaker 03

  And I was like, I can never spend more than $50 on a pair of sunglasses ever again in my life, because that's what's gonna happen.

• 35:46Speaker 07

  Have you stuck to that rule?

• 35:49Speaker 03

  Um, yeah, I don't think I buy sunglasses over $50. I'm gonna lose or break them. It's just gonna happen.

• 35:54Speaker 11

  Spencer, I bought my first baitcaster from Gander Mountain.

• 35:57Speaker 03

  Oh, which one?

• 35:58Speaker 11

  Uh, it was a Fluger, um, rod and reel combo.

• 36:02Speaker 03

  Do you still have it?

• 36:03Speaker 11

  Oh, yeah, still have it. But I remember I, I bought that and I bought line, spooled it up, went home, first cast, backlash, had to cut all line off.

• 36:11Speaker 07

  Back to Gander Mountain.

• 36:14Speaker 03

  Question seven, the topic is conservation. Only two northern blank rhinos remain today and both of them are female. Okay. Only two northern blank rhinos remain today. Both of them are female. We've got a confident room. This may be a one hundred percent. Okay, never mind. I was mistaking their quick answers for confidence. Only two northern blank rhinos remain today and both of them are female. Shoot.

• 36:52Speaker 07

  You know, you could have done the whole sage grouse trick and given us two blanks.

• 36:56Speaker 03

  I put average sized. That would have been too hard. Prove that they're not.

• 37:05Speaker 03

  Corey, how you doing down there?

• 37:06Speaker 05

  Well, I got two answers. One of them's right.

• 37:08Speaker 03

  Okay. Oh, no.

• 37:11Speaker 05

  So I gotta cross one out whenever.

• 37:12Speaker 03

  I think we're waiting on you, the only player with an uncapped marker right now.

• 37:16Speaker 05

  Let's go like this.

• 37:17Speaker 07

  Yep.

• 37:18Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis and Nate and Seth and Randall and Corey. The entire room says white. Corey. Everybody got it right. The correct answer is white. Corey crossed out black at the last second. The last male northern white rhino died in 2018 at a conservancy in Kenya. The two females that are left are his daughter and granddaughter. Both have health complications that prevent them from carrying out a pregnancy. So scientists are attempting to use the closely related southern white rhino as a surrogate. So far, 38 embryos have been produced, but none have resulted in a full term pregnancy. Do they have any of that last male seed?

• 38:03Speaker 03

  I imagine they do. I think they do from a few of the last, what would they be bulls? I don't know what a male rhino is. Probably bulls, I suppose. That is the last male there. His name was Sudan and he was put down in 2017. Question eight, the topic is forging. This is the largest city in Saskatchewan and another name for the service berry.

• 38:29Speaker 03

  Get a scoreboard update from Phillip, the engineer, after this. This is the largest city in Saskatchewan and another name for the Service Berry.

• 38:38Speaker 06

  God.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  That Service Berry is an underlub Berry.

• 38:41Speaker 04

  Don't some folks pronounce it as Service Berry?

• 38:44Speaker 03

  Yes, sir.

• 38:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:45Speaker 03

  For sure. Has anybody been to this largest city in Saskatchewan?

• 38:50Speaker 04

  Nope, but I've made some blank berry pies.

• 38:53Speaker 03

  Yep, okay.

• 38:56Speaker 04

  I have been there.

• 38:58Speaker 03

  You got a good crop on your new place as your old place?

• 39:01Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. Depends on the year.

• 39:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, that might be the problem, Brody, is they're everywhere and so people don't appreciate them. Hmm. As though if they're a more rare berry. They're a little seedier than other. They are.

• 39:12Speaker 04

  That's why you gotta cook them.

• 39:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:14Speaker 04

  Somehow, for some reason, when you put them in a pie, the seediness goes away.

• 39:18Speaker 06

  Hmm. Started to rethink my answer.

• 39:20Speaker 03

  This is the largest city in Saskatchewan and another name for the Service Berry. Is everybody ready?

• 39:26Speaker 04

  Oh. This is where Seth's refusal to travel outside of the country is really biting him in the ass.

• 39:32Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Saskatoon.

• 39:37Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 39:37Speaker 03

  Nate says Thimble. Randall says Saskatoon. Corey and Cal and Brody say Saskatoon. They got it. The correct answer is Saskatoon.

• 39:47Speaker 06

  Hey, I'm sorry, guy. I'm being a horrible podcast engineer right now. I'm having a conversation with Reva about copyright stuff around my drops and it's getting me fired up. Uh, so I kind of missed the last round of who got that one right.

• 39:58Speaker 04

  Well, everyone.

• 39:59Speaker 06

  Like this, like this, this question now? Yeah, yeah. No, no, the Saskatoon one.

• 40:05Speaker 03

  Uh, Yanis had it right.

• 40:07Speaker 06

  Okay, I think.

• 40:07Speaker 03

  Randall had it right.

• 40:09Speaker 06

  And also, I've really messed up because I have.

• 40:12Speaker 04

  Phil.

• 40:13Speaker 06

  Oh, wait, no, never mind. I've got everyone in the right order. Okay, so Seth.

• 40:17Speaker 03

  Seth and Nate did not get it. Everyone else did.

• 40:21Speaker 06

  Okay. Great.

• 40:23Speaker 03

  So Yanni, Randall, Corey.

• 40:25Speaker 06

  I think, I think I have the right thing. If I don't, please yell at me. Randall was losing. No, that's actually inaccurate.

• 40:31Speaker 04

  Losing by two.

• 40:33Speaker 03

  Other names for the service berry include Juneberry, Shadbush, and Sugarplum. Their range stretches from Alaska to Iowa to New Mexico. Although they have a sweet nutty flavor, their firm chewy texture makes them a less desirable berry than other wild berries like the Huckleberry or Thimbleberry. Alright Phil, let's get a scoreboard update. We'll see how accurate this is.

• 40:54Speaker 07

  Before we do this, you alright?

• 40:56Speaker 06

  I'm doing okay.

• 40:57Speaker 07

  Just super out of character for you.

• 40:59Speaker 06

  Do I look different? Do I have a different demeanor right now? It's Slim Shady coming down on you.

• 41:03Speaker 04

  I'm gonna text Reaver right now.

• 41:04Speaker 06

  He did, actually. Oh, really? Yeah, we got, we got a strike on my, uh, my Lose Yourself drop today. It's parody, it's legal! Oh, we got Nate with three now. Yannis has four, is that correct? I think Yannis is making kind of a comeback here. Here's Yanni!

• 41:18Speaker 04

  Oh, I love it!

• 41:21Speaker 06

  Uh, then Brody has five points. Corey, Cal, and Seth are tied up with six, and Randall has pulled ahead. Lone Wolf, he's got seven now. Let's hear a bird question.

• 41:32Speaker 06

  That's all we need, is a bird question.

• 41:33Speaker 03

  Question nine, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Jacob Uptograph. Blank Sporting Journal, which celebrated their 50th anniversary this year, claims to be, quote, "the periodical of choice for discerning sportsmen and women."

• 41:50Speaker 07

  Good question.

• 41:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, capital.

• 41:53Speaker 03

  Good question from Jacob.

• 41:54Speaker 05

  Really?

• 41:55Speaker 03

  Blank Sporting Journal, which celebrated their 50th anniversary this year, claims to be the periodical of choice for discerning sportsmen and women.

• 42:06Speaker 03

  A confident room except for Seth and Nate.

• 42:10Speaker 04

  I used to subscribe as a...

• 42:12Speaker 03

  Hmm, you were a discerning sportsman.

• 42:14Speaker 04

  As a young, young elk hunting guy that was trying to just, you know...

• 42:18Speaker 03

  Expand your horizons.

• 42:19Speaker 04

  Pull as much in as I could so I could, you know, speak wisely in camp.

• 42:23Speaker 06

  Trying to communicate with your clients.

• 42:24Speaker 04

  I rented a house that had volumes and volume, I mean, like, I don't know, decades worth. And that was pretty fun to cruise through those.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  I, I, what I would like about their magazine is they all look the same. If you picked up a copy from 1982...

• 42:39Speaker 04

  That's a big hint there, buddy.

• 42:40Speaker 03

  Versus 1999?

• 42:44Speaker 03

  Blank Sporting Journal, which celebrated their 50th anniversary this year, claims to be the periodical of choice for discerning sportsmen and women. Is everybody ready? Is it still in print?

• 42:55Speaker 09

  You should do another version where it's the periodical of choice for discreet sportsmen.

• 43:02Speaker 03

  Or it's not the periodical of choice for discerning sportsmen and women. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis says Grays. Nate says Eastmans. Seth, Eastmans. Randall, Cory, Cal, and Brody say Grays. They got it. The correct answer is Grays.

• 43:21Speaker 08

  I would have expected it to be around a lot longer than 50 years, though.

• 43:24Speaker 03

  Ed and Rebecca Gray launched the first issue of the journal at their kitchen table in 1975. Amazing. They are one of the few outdoor magazines still in print, publishing seven issues each year. They say each one has unsurpassed sporting literature, original art, and compelling photos. Right, here's a correct answer review so far. Number one was the 280 Ackley Improved, two, Aquatic Invasive Species, three, The Waterboy, four, Agent Orange, five, Slue, six, Gander Mountain, seven, Northern White Rhino, eight, Saskatoon, nine, Grays Sporting Journal. Phil, let's give another scoreboard update before question 10.

• 44:07Speaker 06

  I think that was... Randall's still one point ahead with eight, but Cory and Cal are on his tail with seven.

• 44:12Speaker 09

  Stupid Gander Mountain.

• 44:13Speaker 03

  Question 10, the topic is fishing. According to a 2022 report, 95% of Lake Michigan's walleye harvest happens in this bay.

• 44:27Speaker 03

  Golly. According to a 2022 report, 95% of Lake Michigan's walleye harvest happens in this bay.

• 44:38Speaker 05

  Got two Montana kids versus a Midwesterner.

• 44:40Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 44:41Speaker 07

  I don't know, nothing about this, though.

• 44:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:44Speaker 03

  And it's a fishing question for number 10, which

• 44:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:47Speaker 03

  is very anti-Randal.

• 44:49Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 44:52Speaker 03

  Randall already has his answer down. If he gets this right, he will win the game. If he gets it wrong, Corey and Cal have a chance to tie him up.

• 45:01Speaker 07

  Oof. That would be much too stressful.

• 45:05Speaker 03

  According to a 2022 report, 95% of Lake Michigan's walleye harvest happens in this bay.

• 45:13Speaker 04

  Hmm, I think Randall's got it. So even if I help Brody and cheat, it's not gonna help.

• 45:19Speaker 03

  Brody doesn't need your help. Cal and Corey need your help.

• 45:21Speaker 04

  Oh, it's Cal and Corey.

• 45:22Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 45:23Speaker 05

  I know, surprised.

• 45:24Speaker 03

  Corey, come on, man.

• 45:25Speaker 04

  This corner of Michigan?

• 45:27Speaker 07

  Let's stop doing this.

• 45:28Speaker 05

  Did a ship, did a ship sink in this bay?

• 45:32Speaker 04

  Probably.

• 45:33Speaker 03

  I just want a win.

• 45:34Speaker 07

  Great Lakes?

• 45:36Speaker 07

  Let's not do the thing where we cheat.

• 45:41Speaker 04

  But we love giving them.

• 45:43Speaker 03

  Cheering the man on. Like, he deserves a win.

• 45:46Speaker 07

  We had real good energy at this, when Spencer's reading the questions, or reading the answers today, we had real good energy.

• 45:52Speaker 04

  Should we flip these boards over? Randall, how many wins do you really need?

• 45:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:55Speaker 04

  Come on.

• 45:56Speaker 07

  It's been a dry spell.

• 45:58Speaker 03

  He likes to donate that money.

• 45:59Speaker 07

  I've lost all confidence.

• 46:01Speaker 03

  Go ahead and, oh, we're gonna let Corey go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Green Bay. Nate says Sportsman's Bay.

• 46:11Speaker 05

  That's a great answer.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  Seth and Randall say Green Bay. Corey says Michigan Bay.

• 46:17Speaker 05

  Gotta be.

• 46:17Speaker 03

  Cal says Green Bay. Brody says Green Bay. The correct answer is Green Bay, making Randall our winner with eight correct answers.

• 46:27Speaker 04

  I was like, I think there's a Thunder Bay.

• 46:29Speaker 07

  Back in the saddle again.

• 46:32Speaker 03

  It's estimated that about 300,000 walleye are caught in Green Bay every year. Their populations were decimated in the mid 1900s due to overfishing, invasive species, and pollution, with one biologist saying the fishery was nearly extinct. But thanks to stocking programs and habitat restoration, it's now some of the most productive walleye water on the planet.

• 46:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, when we were there doing the Furhat Ice Fishing Tour, we icefished right there where I believe it's the Fox River was named that river that comes out of Green Bay.

• 47:03Speaker 03

  The Fox River.

• 47:04Speaker 04

  Is it the Fox?

• 47:05Speaker 03

  Famous walleye waters.

• 47:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, but like when we were there, they said that most of the people that we talked to when they were kids, there were no walleye, there was no walleye spawn that happened up in the river. And now because of cleanup efforts, you can find walleye way upstream.

• 47:19Speaker 08

  Yeah, which is the same deal.

• 47:20Speaker 03

  Big Bay.

• 47:21Speaker 08

  A lot of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie for sure.

• 47:23Speaker 03

  But that entire Lake Michigan, enormous, 95% of the walleye harvest happens in Green Bay. All right, Randall, what are you doing with the $500 today?

• 47:32Speaker 07

  Uh, we got an email recently from a listener whose father passed and they started a nonprofit in his honor, uh, buying lifetime hunting and fishing licenses for little kids in the state of New York. So it's called the Little Tags Foundation. He wanted us to give it a shout out, send $500 their way and, uh, set some kids up for a lifetime of hunting and fishing.

• 47:54Speaker 03

  Good way to spend that money.

• 47:55Speaker 04

  Well done, Randall.

• 47:56Speaker 05

  Now I'm glad you won.

• 47:58Speaker 07

  Thanks, man.

• 47:59Speaker 03

  That's a way better use of money than when Corey was gonna do it. Corey, who are you gonna give that away?

• 48:03Speaker 05

  I don't get to think about these types of things.

• 48:06Speaker 03

  Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 48:11Speaker 07

  Thanks, Spencer.

• 48:13Speaker 13

  Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down.

• 48:26Speaker 13

  He likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid amateur. Rockhound.

• 48:38Steven 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've 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.
