  Go and ask any serious whitetail hunter what the best time of the year is to be out in a tree. And it's not a holiday, okay? The best time is not already on your calendar. It's the rut. It's the two or three week window that serious deer hunters plan everything else around. And OnX Hunt's rut calendar does this for you and helps take the guesswork out of your planning. It tracks the different phases of the rut as they move through your area so you know when to book the time off, when to have the whole camp locked in and ready, or conversely, when it's still too early to burn out your best spots. You only get so many rut hunts in your life, so use the rut calendar within OnX Hunt to

  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 Clay, Mark, Yannis, Randall, Brody, Brent, and Tressa. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. No stats, IFAQs, or housekeeping this week, because we've got some of my favorite people in the studio today. Thank you. Yeah, we never get to talk to them, besides Randall, Clay, Mark, Brent. Welcome to the show. What are you boys doing in Bozeman this week?

• 2:57Speaker 05

  Man, we've been doing lots of stuff. Meat Eater roast, Meat Eater experiments. Radio live. Radio live. It has been a whirlwind.

• 3:08Speaker 06

  Did you guys frolic in the snow together?

• 3:10Speaker 05

  Man, I told Clay. Take Clay sledding? It started snowing the other night, and I'm like, "Bro, we ain't got any milk, we ain't got any bread, we'll be dead before they..."

• 3:18Speaker 04

  Did you look at the weather before you came to Montana this week?

• 3:22Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 3:23Speaker 04

  Did you have enough clothes?

• 3:24Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 3:25Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 3:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:27Speaker 06

  If you happen to be at Rose Hours, our local grocery store, that evening it started snowing, Brent and Clay were in there just filling up grocery carts full of food, frantic.

• 3:35Speaker 05

  It's bread and milk. All you had to have is bread and milk.

• 3:38Speaker 06

  Oh, just those two things?

• 3:39Speaker 05

  Yeah. I was pushing the cart, Brent was getting the stuff, and it was full of what he calls "light bread." Yeah, light bread.

• 3:45Speaker 04

  What is light bread?

• 3:46Speaker 05

  Light bread. Light bread.

• 3:48Speaker 06

  What is light bread?

• 3:49Speaker 05

  White bread.

• 3:50Speaker 06

  White bread.

• 3:51Speaker 04

  It's just not wheat bread.

• 3:52Speaker 05

  Why did the bread quicker than you did? He hadn't got the memo yet.

• 3:54Speaker 06

  Are you guys mad at each other? You're sitting awful far apart.

• 3:56Speaker 05

  I love this guy.

• 3:57Speaker 06

  Things were tense yesterday between those two.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  It was, uh... Yeah, it was. Oh, yeah, man.

• 4:04Speaker 04

  Because we did a Meat Eater roast, Yannis said that we can reveal the ingredient. I think this was kind of mean to you, Arkansas, Oklahoma, boys. What was the ingredient?

• 4:12Speaker 05

  Oklahoma. Oklahoma.

• 4:14Speaker 06

  My grandmother was from Oklahoma.

• 4:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, see, same thing.

• 4:17Speaker 06

  He's going back to the family tree.

• 4:19Speaker 04

  I thought Brent claimed some Oklahoma roots. No?

• 4:21Speaker 05

  No, sir.

• 4:22Speaker 04

  Okay. I thought, uh...

• 4:23Speaker 05

  Not generation. Oklahoma's one of my favorite states, though, besides Arkansas. I love Oklahoma, but I ain't...

• 4:28Speaker 04

  We'll scrub that part. What, uh...

• 4:30Speaker 06

  When Yannis revealed the meat...

• 4:33Speaker 04

  It was halibut, which, which.

• 4:36Speaker 05

  And I'm like, what the, what the hell is that?

• 4:37Speaker 04

  This man right here is a commercial fisherman.

• 4:40Speaker 05

  Uh huh.

• 4:40Speaker 04

  I mean, like a licensed commercial fisherman. So he knows how to handle fish.

• 4:44Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 4:45Speaker 04

  I, I, I love halibut. It's actually my favorite fish. So I didn't feel totally caught off guard. I mean, I'm not saying I'm good at it.

• 4:52Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 4:52Speaker 04

  Or Brent's, well Brent's good at frying fish.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  Well, I'll tell you what, the deal was the only, what was crazy is the only time I ever have eaten halibut was at his house.

• 5:02Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 5:02Speaker 05

  One time.

• 5:03Speaker 04

  Who cooked it though?

• 5:04Speaker 05

  Clay did.

• 5:05Speaker 04

  Oh, okay, Clay.

• 5:06Speaker 05

  Did he do better that time? Oh yeah, it was great. Okay. Yeah, it was good.

• 5:11Speaker 04

  And I heard there was a rule, a rule I disagree with.

• 5:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:14Speaker 04

  What was that rule?

• 5:16Speaker 05

  Yanni's rule.

• 5:16Speaker 06

  Giving away the whole show now.

• 5:18Speaker 04

  Well, uh, listen, I'm.

• 5:19Speaker 06

  That's fine.

• 5:20Speaker 04

  I wanna watch this after I've heard all this information. So what was the one rule?

• 5:24Speaker 05

  We couldn't deep fry it.

• 5:25Speaker 04

  Couldn't deep fry. Is that what you two would have done?

• 5:28Speaker 06

  No.

• 5:28Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 5:30Speaker 06

  Brent, yes. Clay?

• 5:32Speaker 05

  I, I knew to pan fry it in butter.

• 5:34Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 5:35Speaker 05

  Just, just pan fry it. That thing would have come out there looking like it come from.

• 5:39Speaker 06

  What was very interesting and quite serendipitous is that invited Randy Newberg to be one of our judges.

• 5:46Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 5:46Speaker 06

  And as we started the show, within the first minute, he proclaimed himself a halibut snob.

• 5:53Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 5:54Speaker 05

  No pressure.

• 5:55Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 5:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 5:57Speaker 04

  And so the other judge was Marcus. Marcus, say something nice about each of their dishes without like saying who the winner was.

• 6:03Speaker 05

  Man, I gotta think hard on that one though. I would say that Brent had a, a very, uh, surprisingly tasty side dish.

• 6:14Speaker 04

  Pretty simple.

• 6:15Speaker 05

  Which, uh, uh, has a nice twist on sweet potato something.

• 6:20Speaker 04

  Oh, alright.

• 6:20Speaker 05

  And, uh, and Clay. It's gonna be hard to talk about his main dish. But, uh, he had a great, uh, jalapeno infused cornbread dish of sorts.

• 6:32Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 6:33Speaker 05

  That we enjoyed.

• 6:33Speaker 06

  It's called a hush puppy, brother.

• 6:34Speaker 05

  I'm trying to, I'm trying to.

• 6:36Speaker 06

  Keep things mysterious still, not giving away too much.

• 6:39Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 6:39Speaker 05

  I gotcha, I gotcha.

• 6:41Speaker 06

  Phil, can we cut that? No time.

• 6:43Speaker 04

  Yanni, when's that episode coming out, like a month?

• 6:45Speaker 06

  No idea.

• 6:46Speaker 04

  Okay, no idea.

• 6:47Speaker 06

  Whenever.

• 6:48Speaker 04

  Just watch the Meat Eater YouTube channel.

• 6:50Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:51Speaker 04

  You boys were busy this week, you know, at ESPN, if you're like, if you were Nikola Jokic, won the MVP NBA championship and you went to Bristol, Connecticut, you'd be on their 7 a.m. show, then their 9 a.m. show, then their noon o'clock show, then their 8 p.m. show, that's called going through the car wash. We've put you through, we put you three through the car wash this week at Meat Eater.

• 7:11Speaker 05

  It's been great.

• 7:12Speaker 04

  Coming out cleaner than ever.

• 7:13Speaker 05

  And we're judging a roast as soon as this is over.

• 7:16Speaker 04

  Okay, and Yanni showed up with blood on his hands from gathering an ingredient.

• 7:21Speaker 06

  We have fresh meat. A secret ingredient.

• 7:23Speaker 04

  Tell us what it is. No one in here is competing.

• 7:25Speaker 06

  Cotton tail rabbit.

• 7:26Speaker 04

  Cotton tail rabbit.

• 7:29Speaker 06

  Bum bum bum. But we're also gonna, the main, see, we had a plan B because I've been trying to have this thing with fresh rabbits and I'll probably revisit this when somehow I figure out how to get fresh rabbits consistently. Today I ended up with one, this extremely fresh. But our plan B was that Clay brought squirrels from Arkansas.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  Oh, flew with him on an airplane.

• 7:48Speaker 06

  Which I did.

• 7:49Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 7:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, I brought squirrels.

• 7:51Speaker 04

  What are they cooking with? Squirrel or rabbit?

• 7:54Speaker 06

  So. Was I not, was that in your check or carry? No, no, you're, you're fine. I just didn't understand why you had to say, like, reiterate that. Were you Clay's planning?

• 8:04Speaker 04

  He was Clay's planning.

• 8:06Speaker 06

  That is a lexicon.

• 8:07Speaker 04

  So glad you mentioned that on a podcast. That will become a thing now.

• 8:12Speaker 06

  Uh, so now Plan A has become Clay's squirrels, that will be the main protein. And then I'm gonna use a single rabbit in some sort of a bonus.

• 8:22Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 8:22Speaker 06

  Bonus feature.

• 8:23Speaker 04

  All right, that'd be a fun one.

• 8:24Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 8:25Speaker 04

  So we, uh, we put you boys through the car wash.

• 8:27Speaker 05

  Had an hour to get that done yesterday.

• 8:30Speaker 06

  We're gonna give them a little more time today so squirrels can take a, take a bit, you know, to tenderize.

• 8:34Speaker 06

  I brought those squirrels.

• 8:36Speaker 04

  I've already sent, I've already sent an email yesterday to the Meat Eater Suits and I said, "We need to get these three boys and the rest of our out of towners in the, in the office more, uh, because we can do a lot of fun content with them. So, we're gonna get you boys back, uh, this summer.

• 8:50Speaker 05

  Thanks a lot.

• 8:51Speaker 04

  Okay. Yeah. Maybe, maybe you didn't want that invite.

• 8:54Speaker 05

  No, absolutely. It's cooler up here and Tressa's taking me fishing.

• 8:58Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 9:00Speaker 05

  Uh, she just got told about it.

• 9:01Speaker 04

  Oh, there you go. That's it. Appreciate the invite to, to Brent and Tressa. And next time here, uh, I'm gonna do the same thing. Mark, you're gonna host Meat Eater Trivia and I'll host a Wired to Hunt. How about we do a home and home? I like that idea. Do you do that? I love that idea.

• 9:15Speaker 05

  Still wanna write a book?

• 9:18Speaker 04

  No, you stay over there. Alright, let's get on with the game of trivia. The Shelby Index for today is a three, so our winner should get six correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 9:33Speaker 05

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 9:43Speaker 06

  You got that down, bro.

• 9:48Speaker 04

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is hunting. This first great question is via Hunter Hobbsden. And as always, the first question will be multiple choice. A 2013 NRA article declares this type of wood the best and king of gun stocks.

• 10:09Speaker 04

  A 2013 NRA article declares this type of wood is the best and king of gun stocks. Those are words that they-

• 10:20Speaker 06

  You're gonna give the, uh, multiple choice?

• 10:21Speaker 04

  Directly used. Yeah, your options are birch, walnut, maple, and ash.

• 10:30Speaker 06

  I've already written down an answer. Do you mind if I slip out and just grab my coffee cup?

• 10:35Speaker 04

  You want me to get it, Yanis? Are you gonna call somebody?

• 10:37Speaker 06

  Leave your phone here. My phone is out there. I left it out there. Pro move. I might have to go take a... Yeah, please.

• 10:46Speaker 04

  The 2013 NRA article declares this type of wood is the best and king of gun stocks. Birch, walnut, maple, or ash. Is everybody ready?

• 11:01Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying walnut. Yanis, walnut, Tressa, walnut.

• 11:08Steven Rinella?

  Brody.

• 11:09Speaker 04

  Everybody says walnut except Brody. Brody says maple. The correct answer is walnut. Wow! Start for Brody Henderson. Walnut is the favorite of gunmakers because of its durability, color, and grain pattern. One custom stockmaker says it's so popular because despite it being a hardwood, it's easy to saw through and work with. In James House 1941, the Modern Gunsmith book, he states, quote, "The forests of the whole earth have paraded their finest growths, only to have it firmly demonstrated that walnut is the king of them all." Question two.

• 11:48Steven Rinella?

  There are walnuts in Montana?

• 11:49Speaker 05

  I like plastic myself.

• 11:52Speaker 04

  Does anybody have a walnut stock?

• 11:55Steven Rinella?

  I've got a lot of walnut trees on my property.

• 11:58Speaker 06

  Oh, you do?

• 11:59Steven Rinella?

  Yeah.

• 11:59Speaker 04

  You chop one of them down?

• 12:00Speaker 06

  Any moneymakers?

• 12:01Steven Rinella?

  Well, I think they need a little bit more, but they're...

• 12:04Speaker 04

  Black is the moneymaker, right? That's the one people care about.

• 12:06Speaker 05

  Where we turn down in Missouri?

• 12:07Steven Rinella?

  Yeah.

• 12:08Speaker 05

  That's big walnut, gun stock country there.

• 12:10Steven Rinella?

  Yeah. I'm gonna cut one down one day.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  Question two. The topic is conservation. Name one of the two states that's home to Dinosaur National Monument.

• 12:25Speaker 04

  Name one of the two states that's home to Dinosaur National Monument. That National Monument goes into two states. You need to name one of them.

• 12:37Speaker 04

  Brent, do you know where Dinosaur National Monument is?

• 12:40Speaker 05

  No.

• 12:41Speaker 04

  Doesn't look like clay does.

• 12:46Speaker 04

  Based on what, Brody?

• 12:49Speaker 05

  They're just writing...

• 12:51Speaker 06

  Flat on the table is an innovation.

• 12:54Steven Rinella?

  Well, I'm gonna use this, I'm gonna take this opportunity to.

• 12:57Speaker 06

  Go for it, erase it.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  You want, you want to cheat, go ahead. Clay, take this opportunity to remind Brody that you have a one point lead on him, right now.

• 13:05Steven Rinella?

  That's true, it probably is gonna go away.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  Name one of the two states it's home to dinosaur national monument.

• 13:12Speaker 06

  Or Brody is sabotaging those of us who also got the first question correct. He doesn't want Clay to fall behind.

• 13:19Steven Rinella?

  Well, we'll see what happens.

• 13:20Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying Colorado, Yanis Colorado, Tressa Nevada.

• 13:29Speaker 06

  Clay, are you gonna say thank you?

• 13:30Steven Rinella?

  Clay pulling it off.

• 13:32Speaker 04

  Uh, Randall says Colorado. Clay, Utah. Brent, Utah. Brody, Colorado. What'd you have down originally, buddy? Nevada. The two states are Colorado.

• 13:44Steven Rinella?

  Thank you, Brody.

• 13:44Speaker 04

  And Utah. Colorado and Utah. About eighty percent of dinosaur national monuments, two hundred thousand acres, are in Colorado. The federal land is famous for its ancient history, from dino bones that are one hundred fifty million years old to petroglyphs that are a thousand years old. It's also where the Yampa River meets the Green River. Question three. The topic is woodsmanship. You had a one in twenty-five chance of getting that right. There's two states.

• 14:14Steven Rinella?

  Oh, I did.

• 14:15Speaker 04

  Topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Austin Radcliffe. For sending this great question, Austin 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 at the meat eater dot com. Merriam Webster defines this six-letter word as, quote, "a disease or injury of plant marked by the formation of lesions, withering, and death of parts."

• 14:45Speaker 04

  This is question three. The topic is woodsmanship. Brody and Mark and Randall already have an answer. Merriam Webster defines this six-letter word as "a disease or injury of plant marked by the formation of lesions, withering, and death of parts."

• 15:07Speaker 04

  Our other four players have not picked up their whiteboard yet. Mark, you have this one right? I think so. Okay. Randall, Brody, you was.

• 15:14Steven Rinella?

  All that reading finally pays off.

• 15:17Speaker 04

  You're right.

• 15:19Speaker 04

  You boys have this one right as well?

• 15:21Speaker 06

  The answer's not Nevada.

• 15:23Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 15:24Speaker 05

  Nor is it Maple.

• 15:28Speaker 06

  Brody's got it too. Do you have it Randall?

• 15:30Speaker 04

  Six letter word. A disease or injury of plants marked by the formation of lesions, withering, and death of parts.

• 15:47Speaker 04

  How you feel about that answer Clay?

• 15:48Steven Rinella?

  Low odds.

• 15:49Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 15:53Steven Rinella?

  Oh, wait.

• 15:54Speaker 04

  A disease or injury of plants marked by the formation of lesions, withering, and death of parts.

• 16:01Speaker 06

  I think from the time the first person writes their answer down, the clock should start ticking. Oh. That's an interesting. Yeah. In other words, get a move on. As if the clock actually has any sort of power.

• 16:17Speaker 06

  I mean, we've never really set a time. No, no.

• 16:20Speaker 05

  No, clearly.

• 16:20Speaker 06

  Just for effect. Just for color.

• 16:24Speaker 04

  Yannis, I think we're waiting on you.

• 16:26Speaker 06

  I know, but I can't, I can't.

• 16:27Speaker 05

  The ad people probably wouldn't be happy about a strict timer.

• 16:31Speaker 04

  That's right. Clay declared that he knows it, but doesn't know it.

• 16:36Speaker 05

  I can fly a plane, but I can't fly one.

• 16:41Speaker 04

  Six letter word, a disease or injury of plants marked by the formation of lesions, withering, and death of parts. Yanni, we're waiting on you.

• 16:47Speaker 06

  Nah, I'm not gonna come up with one.

• 16:49Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying blight. Yannis and Tressa without an answer. Randall says blight. Clay, abscess. Brent, wither. Brody, blight. They got it. The correct answer is blight.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Good job, boys.

• 17:06Speaker 04

  Most blights are caused by bacterial or fungal infestations and spread by insects, wind, and water. They will commonly hit gardens, infecting tomatoes, potatoes, and apples. A parasitic fungal blight from Asia is also what nearly drove the American chestnut to extinction. Question four.

• 17:25Speaker 06

  I've got some Aspens with some blight.

• 17:28Speaker 04

  How do you know? You just visually, they're not looking too good?

• 17:32Speaker 06

  Leaves pop out. They look great for a couple, three weeks, and then they. Have some.

• 17:37Speaker 04

  Anything you can do about it?

• 17:38Speaker 06

  Lesions and withering.

• 17:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, I've got that.

• 17:40Speaker 04

  Anything you can do about it right now?

• 17:42Speaker 06

  Uh, they're like, it comes from stress.

• 17:45Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 17:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, they're just.

• 17:47Speaker 04

  You gotta be nicer to them.

• 17:47Speaker 06

  They're just in a weird place.

• 17:49Speaker 04

  Question four, the topic is fishing. This brand, whose name combines a type of cat and man's name, claims to make, quote, "the world's best spinning lures."

• 18:02Speaker 04

  This brand, whose name combines a type of cat and man's name, claims to make the world's best spinning lures.

• 18:11Steven Rinella?

  Brody, you got it over there?

• 18:12Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, buddy.

• 18:13Steven Rinella?

  How do I always know when Brody has it? He's like.

• 18:16Speaker 06

  That's, I think we should get a decibel meter, put it in the middle of the table. Whoever can slam their board loudest, win.

• 18:21Speaker 04

  Steve would win.

• 18:22Speaker 06

  Sure, sure, confident.

• 18:23Speaker 04

  Steve would be the trivia goat. Brody, the only confident player on question four.

• 18:29Speaker 06

  Best spinning lures.

• 18:31Speaker 04

  This brand, whose name combines a type of cat and man's name, claims to make the world's best spinning lures.

• 18:44Speaker 04

  Brody, can you say anything about this brand?

• 18:46Speaker 06

  No, I'm not saying a word.

• 18:47Speaker 04

  Okay, okay.

• 18:48Steven Rinella?

  Come on.

• 18:49Speaker 04

  Not saying a word.

• 18:51Speaker 05

  That little cheater, we need him in there.

• 18:54Speaker 04

  The other six players.

• 18:56Speaker 06

  Poor Max. Max is, really is not a cheater.

• 18:59Speaker 05

  He just talks, he talks out loud though.

• 19:01Steven Rinella?

  Hey, I, I don't think I got it right, but I may have come up with a great brand name.

• 19:05Speaker 04

  Okay, you have a type of cat and a man's name?

• 19:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:07Speaker 04

  Okay, good. We'll be entertained at the very least.

• 19:10Speaker 06

  I mean, it, it actually could be something for us. I'm, I'm thinking about not putting it on there.

• 19:15Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 19:15Speaker 05

  Just put a little copyright thing.

• 19:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, good idea, good idea, bro.

• 19:19Speaker 04

  Well, we could get it copyrighted before this episode comes out in like five days.

• 19:23Speaker 06

  I can only think of one type of cat right now.

• 19:27Speaker 04

  This brand, whose name combines a type of cat and man's name.

• 19:31Speaker 06

  I hadn't thought of that one. That's the one I was looking for.

• 19:33Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm going through all of the, the types of.

• 19:35Speaker 04

  Spinning.

• 19:36Speaker 05

  Domestic cats that I, I.

• 19:38Speaker 06

  Maybe it's not a domestic.

• 19:40Speaker 05

  I could name all of, I could name more characters from the musical. Cats than I could actual house cats.

• 19:46Speaker 04

  Okay, name all the characters from Cats.

• 19:47Speaker 05

  Magical Mr. Mustopheles.

• 19:50Speaker 04

  Okay, there's one.

• 19:52Speaker 04

  There's one, you got one.

• 19:54Speaker 05

  The Rum Tum Tiger?

• 19:55Speaker 04

  Okay. Phil, I trust that you would catch him if he gets one wrong, right?

• 19:59Speaker 06

  No, I do not like cats.

• 20:00Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. Nobody likes cats, right?

• 20:02Speaker 06

  Good for you, Phil.

• 20:03Speaker 04

  That's kind of the thing about the, the play Cats is nobody likes it.

• 20:07Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 20:07Speaker 06

  Kinda, yeah.

• 20:08Speaker 05

  People's, people scorched that movie. I haven't seen the movie.

• 20:11Speaker 04

  I thought Phil just meant he didn't like cats in general.

• 20:14Speaker 06

  Oh, no, I can't publicly say that or else I'll have to file for divorce.

• 20:17Speaker 05

  Oh. I like the song.

• 20:18Speaker 06

  I do not like Cats the Musical.

• 20:19Speaker 05

  I like the song Moonlight, but I don't think that's a name of a cat.

• 20:24Speaker 06

  Uh, that's, that's, you're thinking of Memories.

• 20:26Speaker 05

  Oh, Memories, that's right. Maybe Moonlight is a cat.

• 20:29Speaker 06

  Memories are all alone in the moonlight. It's a lyrical song.

• 20:32Speaker 05

  Isn't there a, yeah, that's right.

• 20:34Speaker 04

  One more time, the question is this brand whose name combines a type of cat. Rum Tum Tiger. And man's name claims to make the world's best.

• 20:42Speaker 05

  It's the tiger, not the tiger.

• 20:43Speaker 06

  It's, it's Tugger.

• 20:44Speaker 04

  Does everybody give up?

• 20:45Speaker 05

  Give me some more, Phil.

• 20:46Speaker 04

  Give up.

• 20:47Speaker 06

  Mungo Jerry.

• 20:48Speaker 04

  And reveal your answers. We've got Marcus.

• 20:52Speaker 05

  Dang it, Brody, I knew that.

• 20:52Speaker 04

  Without an answer. No, he says the Siamese Spencer. Yanis says Blue Fox. Tressa, Tom Tom. I like that. That's navigation. Uh, Randall says Panther Martin. Did you know that one or did you just come up with it at the last second?

• 21:06Speaker 05

  I knew that one.

• 21:07Speaker 04

  He was playing coy over there. Clay says, uh, trademarked Tiger Dance.

• 21:11Speaker 05

  Bill Dance.

• 21:12Speaker 04

  Bill Dance. There you go. Okay, Tiger Dance. Do you need me to explain that to you? Uh, no.

• 21:17Speaker 05

  There we go. Here we go again, Brent. Classic example.

• 21:20Speaker 04

  Bill Dance.

• 21:21Speaker 06

  Pretty soon here, he's gonna find a couple dollars.

• 21:24Speaker 05

  I want him to watch this.

• 21:25Speaker 04

  He's a famous fisherman and then Tiger is the type of cat.

• 21:28Speaker 05

  When he does a ma- uh.

• 21:29Speaker 04

  Then I found twenty dollars.

• 21:31Speaker 05

  His hand goes like this.

• 21:33Speaker 04

  And we have Brent without an answer and Brody saying Panther Martin. He got it and Randall got it. The correct answer is Panther Martin. The spinner. Panther Martin was founded in nineteen fifty-eight and has sold over one hundred twenty-five million lures since then. Their famous design features a blade that's mounted directly on the lure's wire shaft. They claim it's one of the world's top lures for catching trout, salmon, bass, pike, muskie and crappie, as well as a variety of saltwater species. Question five. They see the old Tiger.

• 22:06Speaker 05

  Spinner.

• 22:08Speaker 04

  Question five, the topic is cooking. Food and Wine Magazine defines this action as quote, "Butterflying a whole bird so that it opens up like a book and lays flat."

• 22:24Speaker 04

  Clay and Brent are getting their mojo back. They both seem like they know this one. It's question five. Food and Wine Magazine defines this action as "Butterflying a whole bird." So that it opens up like a book and lays flat.

• 22:40Speaker 04

  What was his question?

• 22:41Speaker 05

  Brent, Brent, I like this. This is a new innovation as well as telling the competition that it's the wrong number of letters. When the number of letters aren't specified.

• 22:51Speaker 04

  Spell it right.

• 22:54Speaker 04

  I had an extra letter in there. Food and Wine Magazine defines this action as "Butterflying a whole bird so that it opens up like a book and lays flat."

• 23:05Speaker 05

  I don't want to be accused of cheating, but I've seen Clay write all of his answers. I just want to disclose that.

• 23:10Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 23:11Speaker 05

  For the viewing audience.

• 23:12Speaker 04

  I got it right. You've answered first so far. Yanni, do you have this one right? Yes. Okay. Meat Eater Host Roast knows the answer.

• 23:20Speaker 05

  Maybe old Mark Kenyon should have been a little more reading on uh.

• 23:24Speaker 04

  Not a host roast.

• 23:26Speaker 05

  Oh, you watch Clay when he goes to do that place plane thing? This is the hand. Is it silencing the other speakers? I don't know.

• 23:34Speaker 04

  I think Clay's just being a good podcaster when he uh, when he does his explaining. That's right.

• 23:39Speaker 05

  He's very good.

• 23:40Speaker 04

  Clay, don't let them stop you. Thank you. That's exactly what I needed. Yesterday, around the table, it was like an intervention. They were like, Clay.

• 23:50Speaker 04

  No, you relapsed, Clay. You get right back into it. I'm on it. That's just what I needed. When I do my hand like that, I feel like I'm pushing down the competition under the water.

• 24:00Speaker 06

  Violent. Yeah.

• 24:03Speaker 06

  That was a drowning.

• 24:04Speaker 05

  That was a little.

• 24:05Speaker 06

  They thrash and I don't let up.

• 24:08Speaker 04

  We're gonna get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.

• 24:10Speaker 06

  No pushing down the ignorance.

• 24:12Speaker 04

  Mark, are you ready?

• 24:12Speaker 06

  Oh, gotcha. It's like a baptism.

• 24:14Speaker 05

  I'm having one of those things where it's like the letters, I have like the sounds in my mind, but like the words not coming together.

• 24:20Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 24:21Speaker 05

  It's like dyslexia of some kind.

• 24:22Speaker 04

  I think we're writing on you. This, alright, hold on.

• 24:27Speaker 06

  Give him a good tip.

• 24:28Speaker 04

  It's gonna be wrong.

• 24:28Speaker 06

  I don't think this is.

• 24:28Speaker 05

  This is a fun word.

• 24:31Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 24:32Speaker 06

  They're all fun words, Clay.

• 24:34Speaker 04

  You know what? I think it is a fun word. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

• 24:38Speaker 06

  If I.

• 24:39Speaker 04

  We have Marcus saying spitchcock.

• 24:43Speaker 06

  Come on, I have one letter off.

• 24:45Speaker 04

  Yannis spatchcock.

• 24:46Speaker 05

  That's a shame.

• 24:47Speaker 04

  Tras says spatch. Uh, Randall, Clay, Brent and Brody say spatchcock. What do you guys think about Mark's answer?

• 24:54Speaker 05

  Come on, one letter. That's a shame. Nope. Mark reads way too much. He didn't know that.

• 25:00Speaker 04

  Spencer.

• 25:01Speaker 05

  We actually knew it, he would've got it.

• 25:02Speaker 06

  How many points does he have?

• 25:04Speaker 05

  People would give this.

• 25:06Speaker 04

  I think being one letter off, I think I'd give it to him.

• 25:09Speaker 06

  Spelling doesn't count.

• 25:10Speaker 05

  The noises are. But it's like spelling, if it like, that's not, that's a different word.

• 25:17Speaker 05

  Well, when Brent told me it had six letters, I actually spelled spatch right. I had it splashcock. I had an L in there. That would've been a different word. And I counted, I was like, you know what? You're right, Brent.

• 25:27Speaker 04

  The correct answer was spatchcock.

• 25:29Speaker 05

  Splashcock sounds like a venereal disease.

• 25:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's a good point. If you can look at the answer and phonetically get to the way that it's pronounced. Exactly. Then I think that it's, should be correct.

• 25:41Speaker 04

  It's probably the second closest vowel to being A.

• 25:44Speaker 06

  But it's, but it's not the same word. This is the argument, like Yanis just explained it.

• 25:48Speaker 05

  No, but here's the way. Clay, Clay and I would say the same word, but if you heard the way he says it, you would.

• 25:55Speaker 04

  Would spell it differently than the way you might spell it, given how I would say it. Did they say splitchcock in Michigan? No, but there's no L in this. I'm saying we're going to give it to Mark.

• 26:03Speaker 05

  I agree.

• 26:03Speaker 04

  Yeah. Spatchcocking is done to make a bird cook more evenly. It also allows the meat to cook faster, get crispier and add more flavor through seasoning or smoke. To see the process, go watch Cal's video on the meat eater.com called how to spatchcock a duck. Then check out Danielle's recipe called spatchcock pheasant. Or buy our cookbooks. There you go. Buy a cook. And then do it for your Thanksgiving turkey.

• 26:27Speaker 05

  File a protest.

• 26:28Speaker 04

  Simplify your life. Bill, give us a scoreboard update. We're halfway through the game of trivia.

• 26:32Speaker 06

  Sure thing. We've got Grizabella with four, Rumpelteaser with three, oh, sorry, those are characters in the musical Cats.

• 26:40Speaker 05

  He's causing us in Spanish.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  We have Tressa with one point. Yanis, Clay and Brent are tied up with three points apiece. Mark and Brody have four and in first place with five points and a perfect game, it's Dr. Randall Williams.

• 26:53Speaker 04

  I didn't realize Mark had four. Yeah. With his spatchcock. Like, come on, buddy. You handed Clay.

• 27:01Speaker 05

  You had a point and I see it now.

• 27:04Speaker 04

  Question six. You're gonna be regretting that around question nine or 10, maybe. Not if I run it out.

• 27:11Steven 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 got WeatherTech, you're gonna 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 a set.

• 30:17Speaker 04

  Question six, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Kayla Pedderson. Eric Foreman intentionally misses a 10-point buck during Wisconsin's deer season in a 2000 episode of this sitcom.

• 30:36Speaker 04

  Mark Kenyon, the only player to answer so far. This is question six, the topic is hunting. Eric Foreman intentionally misses a 10-point buck during Wisconsin's deer season in a 2000 episode of this sitcom. Tressa also has this one, right? How about you, Randall?

• 30:55Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 30:56Steven Rinella?

  I know exactly what it is. I'm just blanking on the name of it.

• 31:01Speaker 06

  2000.

• 31:03Speaker 04

  2000 episode of this sitcom.

• 31:07Speaker 05

  Brody, I don't see you worried about the time over there.

• 31:12Speaker 05

  I don't watch sitcoms. Me either. I live in one.

• 31:17Speaker 04

  Phil, without giving anything away, do you love this show? Did you love this? At the time, yeah.

• 31:23Steven Rinella?

  That's a hot tip right there.

• 31:25Speaker 06

  I think that would clue people in, Spencer.

• 31:27Speaker 04

  Okay. What? As to my TV watching preferences when I was nine years old. Phil liked this show.

• 31:37Speaker 04

  Eric Foreman intentionally misses a 10-point buck during Wisconsin's deer season in a 2000 episode of this sitcom. I'll also say I own several seasons of this on DVD in box sets. Okay.

• 31:49Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 31:50Speaker 04

  And you still own those? I do not, no. Oh, some goodwill has. I have not watched this show probably since then, to be honest, but it was a good time. At the time.

• 32:00Speaker 06

  I'm still holding on to box sets of old DVDs and stuff. I feel, I don't know why.

• 32:05Speaker 05

  You got a DVD player?

• 32:06Speaker 04

  You need to have an intervention.

• 32:09Speaker 04

  Clay's gonna have an intervention for you about owning too many DVD box sets.

• 32:15Speaker 06

  I just feel bad thrown away.

• 32:17Speaker 05

  Like Mark.

• 32:18Speaker 04

  Clay Newcomb, do you know any sitcoms from the year 2000?

• 32:21Steven Rinella?

  I don't know any sitcoms from the year 2025.

• 32:23Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 32:24Steven Rinella?

  I, yeah.

• 32:25Speaker 04

  How about you, Brent?

• 32:27Speaker 05

  I think I got it.

• 32:28Speaker 04

  You do?

• 32:29Speaker 05

  I think I got it.

• 32:30Speaker 04

  Okay. Randall?

• 32:31Speaker 05

  That ain't been a real good one.

• 32:32Steven Rinella?

  I can tell you, I can tell you several.

• 32:34Speaker 06

  Cast members from this and characters. Wait for it.

• 32:37Speaker 04

  There's a hint.

• 32:37Speaker 05

  There hadn't, uh, there hadn't been a real good sitcom since Andy Griffith.

• 32:42Speaker 06

  So based on what Randall said, this is a sitcom that has more than one character. Yes.

• 32:46Speaker 04

  That's helpful.

• 32:47Speaker 06

  That's the tip.

• 32:50Speaker 04

  Brody, do you have a shot at this one?

• 32:52Speaker 06

  Keep going. You guys talked for like 15 minutes about these earlier.

• 32:56Speaker 04

  Brody, how many sitcoms from the year 2000 can you name?

• 33:00Speaker 06

  Was Friends on then? Oh, geez.

• 33:04Speaker 04

  Okay, Randall is going to his whiteboard now. He remembered. He remembered. Intentionally misses a 10 point buck during Wisconsin's deer season in a 2000 episode of this sitcom.

• 33:17Speaker 05

  I'm okay.

• 33:18Speaker 06

  Can I give a, can I give a fun, fun hint, Spencer? Yes, you can. Go ahead.

• 33:22Speaker 04

  Uh, let's just hold off on it. Let's hold off on it.

• 33:25Speaker 06

  Come on.

• 33:25Speaker 04

  Yanni, you should really love this show, Wisconsin's Deer Season.

• 33:28Speaker 06

  I know.

• 33:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think we should go move on.

• 33:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's been a long one here.

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Go ahead.

• 33:35Speaker 06

  Gani's, hold on, I gotta write something down.

• 33:37Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Uh, we have Mark saying That 70's Show. Yanni says Parks and Rec. Tressa and Randall say That 70's Show. Clay says Friends. Brent says That 70's Show. Brody without an answer.

• 33:53Speaker 06

  My wife used to watch that show a lot.

• 33:55Speaker 04

  The correct answer is That 70's Show.

• 33:57Speaker 06

  All I could think of was Wilmer Valdorama and Dazed and Confused.

• 34:01Speaker 04

  Hmm. Fez.

• 34:03Speaker 06

  Close. Yeah, yeah.

• 34:04Speaker 04

  The episode is full of campy moments that would make Brody Henderson roll his eyes. Some examples. The guns have absolutely no recoil. The family spits out BBs when eating a deer that was killed with a bolt action rifle. One buck's rack is from a mule deer despite them being in Wisconsin and another deer that runs through camp is a reindeer.

• 34:26Speaker 06

  Nice.

• 34:27Speaker 04

  That 70's Show, Yanni.

• 34:28Speaker 06

  That's the show where they used to smoke pot in the basement, right?

• 34:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, and then they, they'd have a camera angle, like if, uh, you put the camera in the center of this table and it'd look right at Brody and then Clay says something, it'd turn to Clay. There'd be a lot of smoke in the air. That 70's Show. Question seven. The topic is cooking. This nine-letter native fruit, which is used to make jelly and wine, is known as the grape of the south.

• 34:56Speaker 06

  That's a bone.

• 34:58Speaker 04

  I would say. This nine-letter native fruit which is used to make jelly and wine is known as the grape of the south. I don't know, I think having the dinosaur national monument question, uh, maybe that's a bone for you westerners. Or the Panther Martin question, southerners, they, those two didn't even know a Panther Martin existed.

• 35:16Speaker 05

  Never did.

• 35:16Speaker 04

  No. No. I'm pretty sure Panther Martin-

• 35:19Speaker 06

  They're not anglers.

• 35:20Speaker 04

  Are, uh- From New York. Is that where they are? What, what's the company that makes them in, uh, oh, it's Mepps, that's-

• 35:27Speaker 05

  Mepps.

• 35:27Speaker 04

  Squirrel Tail Program. They're over, I think, but I think they're like, Mepps Aglia is in Europe somewhere. Phil, what was your anecdote about that 70's show?

• 35:36Speaker 03

  Oh, it wasn't an anecdote, it was just a, I was gonna say like a former guest of the Meat Eater Podcast has guest starred on this show. It was Teddy Nuggets, Ted Nugent was in an episode. I thought that might be too obvious, I think I would give it away.

• 35:46Speaker 06

  Hmm, that would not have helped me.

• 35:49Speaker 04

  Yanni, Wisconsin fellow, you should like that show.

• 35:52Speaker 06

  That show was supposedly in Wisconsin?

• 35:56Speaker 04

  That's why Marcus likes it so much. It's, uh, got a lot of Great Lakes pride, I imagine, right, Mark?

• 36:02Speaker 05

  I don't know, I just-

• 36:03Speaker 06

  My, that, that era of my life.

• 36:06Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. This nine-letter native fruit which is used to make jelly and wine is known as the grape of the south. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying muscatine. Yannis says muscadine, Tressa Concord, uh, Randall-

• 36:24Speaker 06

  If you have an answer without nine letters, I don't think it should be accepted.

• 36:27Speaker 04

  And Clay say muscadine, Brent says persimmon.

• 36:30Speaker 06

  Clay does not say muscadine. Read his answer, please.

• 36:33Speaker 04

  Mus- muscadine. That ain't nine letters.

• 36:35Speaker 06

  Oh, I left out a, okay.

• 36:39Speaker 04

  Brody and Brent say persimmon. The correct answer is muscadine. I think we'll give it to Clay. We'll give it to Mark.

• 36:46Speaker 03

  Thanks to Chili's hat and t-shirt.

• 36:47Speaker 06

  You're gonna give it to Clay?

• 36:49Speaker 04

  He, he knows what a muscadine is.

• 36:51Speaker 06

  Said nine-letter native fruit.

• 36:53Speaker 06

  I didn't even count, I was so calm.

• 36:54Steven Rinella?

  But that didn't even count.

• 36:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 36:56Speaker 05

  I left that answer down and I thought.

• 36:58Speaker 06

  Hey, man.

• 36:59Speaker 05

  Making persimmon wine.

• 37:02Speaker 06

  I'm sure there's people that do it.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  Muscadine have a rich color and thick skin with a sweet flavor that has a hint of tartness. Their native range stretches from Maryland to Texas. Cherokee people use them to make raisins, sweet drinks and medicine. And today it's estimated there are about 150 vineyards in the South that use them to make wine.

• 37:23Speaker 05

  You find them in the woods, you will find the coons.

• 37:25Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 37:26Speaker 05

  They love them.

• 37:26Speaker 04

  It's good to know. You got any muscadine on your property, Clay Newcomb?

• 37:30Steven Rinella?

  No, I don't have any that we grow.

• 37:32Speaker 06

  Muscadine, though.

• 37:33Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, I've got some musolex. No, muscadine, I love muscadine grapes. We just eat them wild because they're gonna be ripe in October. And many a times I've been riding my mule and just got a belly full of muscadines just going through the woods. Eating them and you spit out the seed. There's a, I actually did a little tutorial one time on the correct way to eat a muscadine.

• 37:56Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. How many of your neighbors make muscadine wine?

• 38:01Steven Rinella?

  I don't know any that do. Now, I know plenty that make muscadine jelly.

• 38:05Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 38:06Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, that would be a thing.

• 38:07Speaker 06

  We drank some on an episode with Kevin Murphy, I believe. We had muscadine wine at the meal scene. I can't remember if he brewed it or if one of his buddies brewed it, but it was great. It was, you know, reused grape, uh, wine bottles. And the label was a chunk of duct tape and then someone just took a ballpoint pen and wrote down, you know, Kevin Murphy came up with some crazy name for this wine.

• 38:31Speaker 04

  Apparently muscadine goes well with mules, hearing from you and Clay.

• 38:35Steven Rinella?

  Muscadine goes with wild fruit that's in your neck of the woods. What's the what? The other native fruit that we talked about a lot. Yeah, pawpaws.

• 38:43Speaker 04

  Pawpaws. The custard banana.

• 38:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's also native to Michigan.

• 38:49Speaker 04

  Question eight, the topic is fishing. The Tennessee River, Kentucky River and Cumberland River are direct tributaries to what other river?

• 39:02Speaker 04

  The Tennessee River, Kentucky River, and Cumberland River are direct tributaries to what other river? Hmm, Randall, Brody, and Mark already have their answer. This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. Tennessee River, Kentucky River, and Cumberland River are direct tributaries to what other?

• 39:27Steven Rinella?

  Does Brody know?

• 39:28Speaker 05

  I got an answer. At this point, I can't win, so I don't, you know.

• 39:33Steven Rinella?

  You think about just leaving?

• 39:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, you know.

• 39:36Steven Rinella?

  I think about it all the time.

• 39:37Speaker 05

  You got tenure.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  I don't want to be here anymore.

• 39:42Speaker 05

  And you have tenure.

• 39:46Speaker 04

  Clay, do you have this one right?

• 39:47Steven Rinella?

  I think so.

• 39:48Speaker 04

  Okay. How about you, Brent?

• 39:50Speaker 05

  I'm one leather, one letter either way here.

• 39:53Speaker 04

  Okay. I think we're just waiting on Yanni.

• 39:56Steven Rinella?

  If you, uh, if spelling is an issue on this one, you may be on the wrong river.

• 40:00Speaker 04

  Okay, they're saying.

• 40:01Speaker 05

  Jeez, man.

• 40:02Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers.

• 40:05Speaker 05

  Don't throw it rocks.

• 40:06Speaker 04

  We have Mark saying Ohio, Yannis, Ohio, Tressa, Red. Randall says Ohio, Clay, Ohio, Brent, Mississippi, Brody, Ohio. The correct answer is the Ohio River.

• 40:20Steven Rinella?

  Solid river.

• 40:21Speaker 04

  The Ohio River starts in Pittsburgh and travels across six states before dumping into the Mississippi near Cairo, Illinois. Measured by volume, it's the largest tributary to the Mississippi River, providing drinking water for 5 million people. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update before question nine.

• 40:38Speaker 01

  Hmm. Let's do it. Let me do some, oh yeah. Looks like Yannis, Clay, Brent, Tressa, and Brody Henderson are all out of the running for the win. It is down to Mark Kenyon, who has 7.

• 40:51Speaker 06

  Points and Randall Williams. Let's go, Mark. I'm gonna start playing with Mark. Man, these last two.

• 40:58Speaker 04

  Question nine, the topic is conservation. This four word term is defined as quote, "A theory that explains how individuals acting in their own self-interest can deplete a shared resource."

• 41:16Speaker 04

  Randall and Mark already writing down their answer. This probably won't change anything on the scoreboard based on their confidence. This four word term is defined as "A theory that explains how individuals acting in their own self-interest can deplete a shared resource." The topic is conservation. Bro, do you have this one right?

• 41:37Steven Rinella?

  Yep.

• 41:37Speaker 06

  Just wait.

• 41:38Steven Rinella?

  Mark knows it.

• 41:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, I got it.

• 41:39Steven Rinella?

  Really?

• 41:40Speaker 05

  Yes, sir.

• 41:42Speaker 04

  Did that surprise you, Clay?

• 41:43Steven Rinella?

  Not really.

• 41:47Speaker 04

  Randall, do you know this one?

• 41:49Speaker 06

  I do, I do.

• 41:50Speaker 04

  Four word term. Man, I need Randall to slip up.

• 41:55Steven Rinella?

  Come on.

• 41:57Speaker 04

  It's a tough question to ask, uh,

• 42:00Speaker 04

  environmental historian Spencer.

• 42:03Speaker 04

  Who's the environmental historian? Oh, okay, pointed at himself.

• 42:08Speaker 04

  Four word term is defined as "A theory that explains how individuals acting in their own self-interest can deplete a shared resource." Do our other players give up?

• 42:18Steven Rinella?

  I mean, I could write something cute.

• 42:23Speaker 04

  Just not in the mood, though.

• 42:25Steven Rinella?

  Mark, you got an answer?

• 42:26Speaker 05

  Yes, sir.

• 42:27Speaker 04

  Says he's got a right answer.

• 42:29Steven Rinella?

  But old, old Randy knows it.

• 42:32Speaker 04

  Doctor environmental historian. I was first introduced to this term in the book, A Plague of Sheep by the historian Eleanor Melville. Okay. That's, uh, I think that's quite a hint. That was in 2000. Seven. All right, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying tragedy of the commons. Yanis and Tressa without an answer. Randall says tragedy of the commons. Clay and Brent without an answer. Brody says big dumb game hog.

• 43:02Speaker 04

  The correct answer is tragedy of the commons. The tragedy of the commons theory was introduced by an ecologist in 1968. It explains that if self-interested individuals have unlimited access to public resources, then they'll become over-exploited and everyone loses. This social dilemma can apply to hunting, fishing, foraging, forestry, water, pollution, mining, and grazing. Phil, let's get one last scoreboard update before question 10.

• 43:32Speaker 03

  Mark now has eight points and Randall, still with a perfect game and coming up to question 10, has nine points.

• 43:39Speaker 04

  Randall, are your hands?

• 43:40Steven Rinella?

  Man, I learned something every time I'm on this show.

• 43:43Speaker 04

  What'd you learn today?

• 43:44Steven Rinella?

  The coffee and the absence of good food in my stomach.

• 43:48Speaker 04

  Has Randall had a perfect game before? Yep. I'd say four or five.

• 43:51Steven Rinella?

  Randall, do you think your, your hair helps you like hold in intelligence? There, there's, there's some historical reference to people with long hair.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  Samson?

• 44:03Steven Rinella?

  Samson, yeah. Well, I did.

• 44:05Speaker 04

  Strength.

• 44:05Steven Rinella?

  I had a, I had a sick mullet in high school.

• 44:08Speaker 04

  Hmm. That's when he was at his strongest.

• 44:10Steven Rinella?

  And I cut it off and then the very next football game, I broke my leg.

• 44:14Speaker 04

  Oh, wow. Never again.

• 44:16Steven Rinella?

  I'd say that's pretty hard evidence.

• 44:18Speaker 04

  Question 10, the topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Scott Waller. The USDA declares the water blank is the most violently toxic plant that grows in North America. The USDA declares the water blank is the most violently toxic plant that grows in North America.

• 44:49Speaker 04

  Brody, once you heard tragedy of the commons, did you recognize that phrase?

• 44:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:53Speaker 04

  How about you, Clay Newcomb?

• 44:54Speaker 03

  I did recognize it. Never heard it.

• 44:58Speaker 04

  Randall was talking about a sheep, what, a sheep grazing?

• 45:02Speaker 03

  A plague of sheep, yes.

• 45:04Speaker 04

  That's like the classic example.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  Buffalo is also the classic example. I'm reading an article right now

• 45:13Speaker 03

  that's titled "Are All Commons Tragedies?"

• 45:17Speaker 04

  Again, we're on question 10. The topic is woodsmanship.

• 45:21Speaker 03

  I can only think of one plant that begins with...

• 45:24Speaker 04

  The USDA declares...

• 45:25Speaker 03

  I had that same thought.

• 45:26Speaker 04

  Water blank is the most violently toxic plant that grows in North America. We need Randall to get this wrong and Mark to get this right to go to overtime.

• 45:38Speaker 04

  Randall, do you think you have this one right?

• 45:40Speaker 03

  Like I said, I've got one plant that begins with... I can think of a snake. Yeah, that's toxic that begins with water. I was hoping that was gonna be the question.

• 45:51Speaker 04

  Brody, do you have this one right?

• 45:53Speaker 03

  Hmm, I doubt it.

• 45:55Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 45:55Speaker 03

  I have an answer.

• 45:56Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying crest.

• 46:01Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 46:01Speaker 04

  Yanis says lily. Tressa says lily. Randall says water lily. Clay, lily. Brent, lily. Brody, lily.

• 46:11Speaker 03

  Oh geez.

• 46:12Speaker 04

  The correct answer is hemlock. Nobody got that one right. That means Randall is our winner with nine correct answers.

• 46:24Speaker 04

  Just a small amount of water hemlock will cause violent seizures and death. It's found across much of the country, growing in wet meadows and along banks of streams. The plant has small white flowers that form umbrella-like clusters. Those who get poisoned by water hemlock are often foragers who think they're eating wild carrots. Water hemlock. Has anybody heard of that?

• 46:46Speaker 03

  Heard of hemlock?

• 46:47Speaker 05

  No, hemlock grows on the side of the highway in Arkansas. And there's another one, Queen Anne's Lace. It looks very similar. You can make jelly out of one.

• 46:57Speaker 04

  Grab a water hemlock.

• 46:57Speaker 05

  You can make jelly out of one and a funeral out of the other.

• 47:01Speaker 04

  Randall is our winner today with nine correct answers. Comes up short of the perfect game on question 10. What are you gonna do with your $500 today, Randall?

• 47:08Speaker 03

  I'd like to donate my $500. Dollars to the Gunnison Wildlife Association.

• 47:14Speaker 04

  Okay, well, what should we know about them?

• 47:15Speaker 03

  I received a message from John Kessler. He is a trivia connoisseur, history lover, and firearm enthusiast. And he's a devourer of cased meat, he also proclaims.

• 47:25Speaker 06

  Hmm, a real, real random one.

• 47:27Speaker 03

  And they are, they are, he's one of the, he's part of the tribe and they are fundraising to fund a paid position to expand their grassroots work for wildlife.

• 47:36Speaker 04

  One more time, what's it called?

• 47:37Speaker 03

  The Gunnison Wildlife Association.

• 47:39Speaker 04

  Five hundred dollars going their way. Randall was so confident that he was getting out his phone to look up that message while we were on question nine.

• 47:46Speaker 03

  Well, I just needed the details, the deets.

• 47:48Steven Rinella?

  Man, I think Randall's so good at this that there, there's the possibility of some corruption.

• 47:54Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 47:55Steven Rinella?

  Not on Randall's part.

• 47:56Speaker 04

  My part?

• 47:57Steven Rinella?

  No, no, no, on the people's part. Like, if I were out there and were a conservation org, I would be like trying to buddy up with Randall and try to fund my organization.

• 48:07Speaker 03

  Yep, I got another.

• 48:08Steven Rinella?

  And I'd probably be sending him stuff in the mail. I'd be inviting him on hunting trips.

• 48:11Speaker 03

  That's literally what this was.

• 48:14Steven Rinella?

  I'm telling you.

• 48:15Speaker 03

  This is an Instagram message, Clay.

• 48:17Steven Rinella?

  It's, it's like that long.

• 48:18Speaker 03

  I got another one lined up here for, uh.

• 48:20Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 48:22Steven Rinella?

  I mean, it used to would have been Brody, but.

• 48:25Speaker 03

  No.

• 48:26Speaker 06

  And it's never been you.

• 48:31Speaker 04

  Clay, Brent, Mark, thanks for joining us. We're gonna do more trivia the next time you visit our town. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 48:43Speaker 07

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

• 48:56Speaker 07

  And he likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks.

• 49:00Speaker 07

  And he's an avid amateur.

• 49:04Speaker 07

  Rockhound.

• 49:08Speaker 07

  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 a set.

  Go and ask any serious whitetail hunter what the best time of the year is to be out in a tree. And it's not a holiday, okay? The best time is not already on your calendar. It's the rut. It's the two or three week window that serious deer hunters plan everything else around. And OnX Hunt's rut calendar does this for you and helps take the guesswork out of your planning. It tracks the deer.
