  Black Buffalo Tobacco Alternative is everything you love about dip, nothing you don't. OnX Hunt is full of great features. I always say it's my favorite app. I use the thing on a daily basis. Here's a new feature I'm very excited about. OnX Hunt's location sharing puts your whole group on one live map so you can look and tell where everyone is. And if at night it gets dark and someone's not back yet, you don't got to guess what happened to them or where they are. You can just look and tell where they are. It has implications for safety, coordination. I can't even list all the ways in which this is helpful. You opt in and then when you guys are done, the data goes away. It's not stored. Keep the folks in your deer camp on the same page with location sharing from OnX Hunt.

  You need credit to buy, well, pretty much any big thing. So how do you get started? Easy. The One Pay Builder Card. It's simple and smart. One Pay is the banking app trusted by millions of Americans and the One Pay Builder Card is an easy way to build credit. Just use it to make everyday purchases, build your credit history, and then you can work up to the big milestones, buying a new car or a new house. Or hell, maybe something I'm always thinking about, which is another boat. Those moments start with small, consistent steps with the One Pay Builder Card.

  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Seth, Corey, Hansy, Alyssa, Marge, Nate, Tressa, and John. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's 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. And this is episode two of our two episode Meat Eater Trivia jabroni championship. So if you haven't listened to the first episode yet, then pause this one and go get caught up because for the first time in Meat Eater trivia history, we are going to crown a king or queen jabroni for 2025.

• 3:22Speaker 02

  Phil, let's get a scoreboard update for this episode before we get started.

• 3:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, we've got Maggie, Hansy, and Tressa with three points apiece. John with four, Alyssa with five, and tied up in first place with six points are Seth, Corey, and Nate.

• 3:38Speaker 02

  Wow. And Nate has now shed his outer layer and put his hat on backwards.

• 3:42Speaker 04

  I was giving the illusion that this wasn't recorded back to back.

• 3:45Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  It was recorded back to back. Last episode ended about eight minutes ago. Now the Shelby index for this episode is a five, so our jabronis should do well. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 4:03Speaker 05

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

• 4:18Speaker 06

  Game on, suckers!

• 4:19Speaker 02

  Final round. And on the line, we have this wonderful trophy that a fan made us a $1,000 conservation donation and the title of King or Queen Jabroni. Here's question one, the topic is conservation, and this will be multiple choice. According to the American Museum of Natural History, we're currently going through the blank mass extinction. Is it third, sixth, 11th, or 17th?

• 4:49Speaker 07

  Hmm. Was Mark Kenyon just talking about this?

• 4:52Speaker 02

  According to the American Museum of Natural History-

• 4:55Speaker 03

  He was.

• 4:56Speaker 02

  We're currently going through the blank mass extinction.

• 4:59Speaker 06

  God, nobody told me, this sounds kinda scary.

• 5:01Speaker 02

  Third, sixth, 11th, or 17th?

• 5:05Speaker 03

  Those are two very heavy words, mass and extinction. Doesn't sound good together.

• 5:10Speaker 02

  Huh.

• 5:12Speaker 02

  This is question 11 of our 20-question championship. Is anybody optimistic about their answer? 50/50. Okay, a lot of guesses.

• 5:24Speaker 07

  I just watched the thing with Mark talking about this, and I wasn't paying attention to him, I'm like, "Sorry, Mark."

• 5:34Speaker 08

  Thanks for admitting that on air, Seth.

• 5:37Speaker 02

  You watched it, though. You gave him that view.

• 5:39Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 5:40Speaker 02

  According to the American Museum of Natural History, we're currently going through the blank mass extinction. Third, sixth, 11th, or 17th?

• 5:50Speaker 08

  I wish Shelby was here. She should have played with us to set the index.

• 5:54Speaker 02

  Well, she ended the game with an 11, so...

• 5:57Speaker 08

  Oh.

• 5:58Speaker 02

  Maybe she'll be the Queen Jabroni. Is everybody ready?

• 6:03Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 6:04Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying third, Alyssa says sixth, Marge says third, John says third, Corey, sixth, Tressa, third, Hansy, third, Nate, sixth. He crossed out third.

• 6:23Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 6:24Speaker 02

  The correct answer? Is six.

• 6:27Speaker 03

  Damn it, let's go.

• 6:28Speaker 02

  About half the room got that one right. We're currently in the Holocene extinction, which started about 10,000 years ago. This extinction has been defined by the presence of a single species, humans. The last extinction prior to this one was 66 million years ago, which is what killed 75% of life on Earth, including the dinosaurs. Question two, the topic is fishing and this next great question is via Matt Young. Name four of the seven states that contribute to the Columbia River watershed.

• 7:05Speaker 02

  Name four of the seven states that contribute to the Columbia River watershed.

• 7:16Speaker 02

  Lot of list making happening.

• 7:19Speaker 02

  Besides Alyssa.

• 7:23Speaker 02

  Name four of the seven states that contribute to the Columbia River watershed.

• 7:30Speaker 02

  Corey, very quick to answer, do you have this one right?

• 7:33Speaker 06

  Yeah, for sure. Grew up in one of those.

• 7:36Speaker 02

  Okay, well, there's a hint again. Corey, there's a championship on the line.

• 7:42Speaker 06

  I'm not thinking, obviously.

• 7:45Speaker 02

  If anybody knows where Corey grew up at.

• 7:49Speaker 02

  Give you some help.

• 7:50Speaker 03

  There's a Gordon Lightfoot song you can start singing.

• 7:54Speaker 02

  Name four of the seven states that contribute to the Columbia River watershed.

• 8:00Speaker 04

  This feels like a real heavy west coast and fishing centric tournament.

• 8:06Speaker 02

  Nate was just complimenting me before the show, said I like all the east coast stuff, you bad lady.

• 8:11Speaker 04

  And the pendulum has swung it.

• 8:13Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 8:14Speaker 06

  Lake Superior is not in the west. Yeah, no, it's not.

• 8:18Speaker 04

  Midwest.

• 8:19Speaker 06

  Heavy Midwest, mid east. Pert near.

• 8:22Speaker 02

  Ozzy, do you have an answer? Marge, do you have an answer?

• 8:26Speaker 08

  Yes.

• 8:27Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington. Alyssa says Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho. Marge with the same answer. John with the same answer. Corey with the same answer. Tressa says Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Utah. Hansy says Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana. Nate says Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana. The seven states are Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. So I think we had seven of our jabronis get that one right.

• 9:12Speaker 02

  Flowing through two countries and four mountain ranges, the Columbia River carries more water to the Pacific Ocean than any other river in North or South America. The river has 19 hydroelectric dams, which has caused major declines in salmon, lamprey, and sturgeon populations. Question three, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Tim Allen. Ooh. What? Two men? Two men standing as a fan. Phil, I feel like I've asked you before to do the, what's he, the noise he does at the end of the, you know what I'm talking about? Ooh.

• 9:48Speaker 02

  This four-letter word is defined as, quote, "a selective slaughter of wild animals." Phil's just a jukebox over there. That made me lightheaded. This four-letter word is defined as "a selective slaughter of wild animals." This is question three and the topic is hunting. Nate, Alyssa, Seth, all confident in their answer.

• 10:16Speaker 00

  I don't know about confident.

• 10:19Speaker 02

  Okay, confident. You've got a four-letter word.

• 10:21Speaker 00

  I have a four-letter word.

• 10:22Speaker 02

  She was quick to write it down. Marge, John, Corey, Tressa, and Hansy do not yet have anything, though. This four-letter word is defined as "a selective slaughter of wild animals."

• 10:44Speaker 02

  Seth, you have this one right?

• 10:46Speaker 06

  Yes, I do.

• 10:47Speaker 02

  Okay, Nate, you have this one right?

• 10:48Speaker 03

  Yup, and speaking of Babe Ruth, I'm calling my shot, perfect game.

• 10:52Speaker 02

  Oh wow, okay.

• 10:54Speaker 06

  Oh, mold.

• 10:55Speaker 02

  You better hope I've got some more east coast questions in here.

• 10:58Speaker 03

  I'm banking on it.

• 11:00Speaker 02

  For Georgia Nate.

• 11:04Speaker 02

  How you doing down there Cory?

• 11:05Speaker 06

  Not great, honestly. Funny, because I think I just used this word earlier.

• 11:09Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 11:13Speaker 02

  This four-letter word is defined as a selective slaughter of wild animals. Hansy, do you have this one right? Yes. Okay.

• 11:24Speaker 06

  Cory, you just kinda did this. I know.

• 11:28Speaker 02

  Well, there's a hint from Seth. Who I think he might share the lead with right now.

• 11:35Speaker 02

  It's anyone's game still, anybody could be the king or queen of brony.

• 11:39Speaker 03

  Unfortunately Seth missed question one.

• 11:41Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 11:42Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 11:43Speaker 03

  He is one point behind Cory.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  Cory?

• 11:49Speaker 06

  God, go ahead, I got, I'm the one that's...

• 11:51Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers, we have Seth and Alyssa saying call. Marge, without an answer, John says call. Cory, without an answer, Tressa says slam. Hansy and Nate say call.

• 12:04Speaker 09

  I like, I like slam, I think that's, yeah, I think that should be accepted.

• 12:10Speaker 02

  The correct answer is call. Calling can be enacted as a management tool for reducing populations, controlling disease, and helping human safety. Hunters often justify kills by identifying deer as call bucks, but biologists say that's not a real way to improve antler size. For more on this subject, go read Tony Peterson's article on the meat eater dot com called Wild Deer Genetics and the Lost Cause of Calling.

• 12:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, I thought of calling, culling, not four letters.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  Hmm, C-U-L-L. And you were calling some awed at sheep in Texas and talked about it on today's episode of Meat Eater Radio Live.

• 12:46Speaker 06

  It's true.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  Question four, the topic is cooking. Mashed says the fruit of this cactus is a quote culinary delight and tastes similar to melon, kiwi, or an underripe strawberry.

• 13:03Speaker 02

  Mashed, that is a cooking website, says the fruit of this cactus is a culinary delight and tastes similar to melon, kiwi, or an underripe strawberry.

• 13:17Speaker 02

  Seth and Cory and Alyssa and Marge, quick to answer.

• 13:21Speaker 08

  You know, I have, I have a problem with that it tastes similar. Like, I eat kiwis every day. No, kiwi tastes like a melon.

• 13:29Speaker 02

  Well, uh...

• 13:30Speaker 08

  Tell me if...

• 13:31Speaker 02

  It's the best way they could describe the taste of this thing.

• 13:33Speaker 08

  They have very different flavor profiles. And you're looking for the cactus name?

• 13:37Speaker 02

  We're looking for the name of the cactus. Mashed says the fruit of this cactus is a culinary delight and tastes similar to melon, kiwi, or an underripe strawberry.

• 13:50Speaker 02

  How we doing, Nate? Perfect game on the line, unquestionably.

• 13:56Speaker 06

  Where's this one going, babe?

• 13:58Speaker 04

  I got a... Letter, and that's it.

• 14:01Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 14:02Speaker 06

  Oh, no.

• 14:05Speaker 08

  Are you confident?

• 14:06Speaker 07

  Bowball!

• 14:07Speaker 04

  I, I think so.

• 14:09Speaker 08

  I think they quote this in a Disney song.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  Oh, wow, okay. There's a hint if there's any Disney adults listening.

• 14:15Speaker 04

  I could sing the Mulan song to you.

• 14:17Speaker 02

  That should help. Go ahead. Go ahead.

• 14:19Speaker 04

  Mister, I'll make a man out of you.

• 14:23Speaker 08

  Not that song. Not that movie either.

• 14:28Speaker 02

  Do our other players give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying prickly pear. Alyssa says goji. Marge says prickly pear.

• 14:39Speaker 08

  Darn it.

• 14:40Speaker 02

  John says prickly. Cory says prickly pear. Tressa, prickly pear. Hansy, prickly pear. Nate says sonora. The correct answer is prickly pear cactus. Are we gonna give that one to John? The correct answer is Nate's perfect game. We're not gonna give it to John. John's missing the important part, the name of the fruit. They're all prickly. The pear.

• 15:03Speaker 02

  Prickly pear cacti are found in almost every state. Both the pads and the fruit of them are edible. Prickly pear can be eaten raw or turned into jam, syrup, and wine. It's also become a hip soda flavor in recent years with brands like Pike's Peak and Sioux City Soda selling prickly pear bottles.

• 15:23Speaker 04

  Hold up, those are east of the Mississippi?

• 15:26Speaker 02

  They're found everywhere. Yeah, there's some very rare ones found in like Florida. I think Biscayne National Park has what they identify as the rarest cacti in North America.

• 15:36Speaker 07

  Um, Lewis and Clark Brewing makes a beer out of prickly pear.

• 15:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, they were ahead of the trend on that one.

• 15:41Speaker 07

  Yeah, which is pretty good.

• 15:43Speaker 08

  Ed Bo's favorite.

• 15:44Speaker 02

  Question five, the topic is woodsmanship. This two-word hiking term refers to the illusion of what you believe is the pinnacle of a mountain, but later realize is not.

• 15:59Speaker 02

  This two-word hiking term refers to the illusion of what you believe is the pinnacle of a mountain, but later realize is not. Nate and Seth and Cory and John and Tressa all quick to answer.

• 16:16Speaker 02

  Two-word hiking term refers to the illusion of what you believe is the pinnacle of a mountain, but later realize is not. This is question 15, so we will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this.

• 16:34Speaker 02

  Alyssa, Marge, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying false summit, Alyssa says optical illusion. Marge and John and Cory and Tressa and Hansi say false summit. Nate says false peak. The correct answer is false summit or false peak.

• 16:56Speaker 07

  No way.

• 16:57Speaker 02

  False summit.

• 16:58Speaker 07

  Dude, I would flip this table.

• 17:00Speaker 04

  Let's hold his hand through this whole thing, Charlie. I know, I know.

• 17:04Speaker 02

  False summits happen when a mountain is viewed from a distance and the peak is hidden in the background. Those who encounter false summits say it's discouraging, causing feelings of lost hope or failure. These illusions can get hikers in trouble who use their energy and resources to reach what they thought was the end of a trail, only to realize they need to go further to gain the actual summit. Does anyone have a story in here about reaching a false summit or false peak? Immigrant Peak. You've done it? Has multiple false summits, yep.

• 17:33Speaker 08

  I had a little temper tantrum.

• 17:34Speaker 02

  Really? At which fall summit?

• 17:36Speaker 08

  The third.

• 17:37Speaker 02

  The third fall summit?

• 17:38Speaker 08

  Yeah, I need some snacks. I need to take a break.

• 17:41Speaker 02

  And is it, uh, is it just like the view or was there like, uh, clouds in the sky that disrupted?

• 17:45Speaker 08

  It just looked like the peak from where you were and then you got up there and it dipped way down to go up again.

• 17:51Speaker 02

  So did you get to the true summit eventually?

• 17:52Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 17:53Speaker 02

  Good audio march.

• 17:54Speaker 08

  It's a really good hike. Highly recommend. The Baldi summit. Baldi, yeah. Yeah, every year. I hike it every year. Yeah, even Onyx has it mislabeled. Yeah.

• 18:02Speaker 02

  Phil, let's get a scoreboard update. We have five questions left.

• 18:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, I might have made a mistake on this last round. Mostly Maggie, I'm not, I couldn't remember if I counted your point or not because I was, I got lost, but

• 18:14Speaker 08

  I was late.

• 18:15Speaker 03

  The score's up there. Let me know if I'm wrong. You guys can just give yourself as many points as you want.

• 18:18Speaker 08

  I have six.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  Okay, then I'll make that change right now.

• 18:22Speaker 08

  Thank you.

• 18:23Speaker 03

  Maggie has six.

• 18:25Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 18:25Speaker 03

  All right, we've got Tressa in last place with five points. Maggie now has six. Hansy and John have seven points apiece. Alyssa has eight and still three-way tied with 10 points apiece are Nate, Corey and Seth.

• 18:39Speaker 08

  I forgot, I have 10.

• 18:43Speaker 02

  Still anybody's game going into question 16.

• 21:52Speaker 02

  Here's question six. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Jackson Lewis. This river, which starts in Peru and ends at the Atlantic Ocean, has the most freshwater biodiversity on earth.

• 22:10Speaker 02

  The topic is conservation. This river, which starts in Peru and ends at the Atlantic Ocean, has the most freshwater biodiversity on Earth.

• 22:23Speaker 02

  Nate, do you have this one right? Yes, sir. Corey, do you have this one right? Yes. Seth does not yet have an answer.

• 22:34Speaker 02

  He does now. Seth, do you like your answer?

• 22:36Speaker 07

  No.

• 22:36Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 22:37Speaker 07

  Well, I'll let you know.

• 22:38Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 22:39Speaker 07

  If I get it right, I'll like it.

• 22:42Speaker 02

  Five questions to go to crown our trivia jabroni champion.

• 22:52Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying the Nile. Melissa says Patagonia. Mark. Wrong continent.

• 23:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, keep piling on to Seth. John, without an answer. Corey says Amazon. Tressa, without an answer. Hansy and Nate say Amazon. They got it. The correct answer is the Amazon River. At 4,000 miles long, the Amazon River is the longest free-flowing river in the world. There are more than 2,400 fish species that live in the river, including the Dorado catfish, which has the longest freshwater migration on the planet. Similar to the Amazon rainforest, the Amazon River's greatest threats include deforestation, mining, pollution, and climate change. Question seven, the topic is hunting.

• 23:44Speaker 02

  The AKC describes this dog breed as, quote, "an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, standing among America's most popular dog breeds."

• 23:59Speaker 02

  This is question 17. The topic is hunting. The AKC describes this dog breed as "an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, standing among America's most popular dog breeds." The room is stumped.

• 24:21Speaker 02

  Despite having many dog owners in the room.

• 24:31Speaker 02

  Marge, do you own a dog?

• 24:33Speaker 08

  Nope.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  Okay. John, do you own a dog?

• 24:35Speaker 08

  Got a fish.

• 24:36Speaker 02

  I think you're the only two non-dog owners here then.

• 24:40Speaker 08

  Just Gary there, Spencer. Still kicking.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  Goldfish owner. The AKC describes this dog breed as an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, standing among America's most popular dog breeds. Hansy, the only player with an answer. How do you feel about your answer, Hansy?

• 24:57Speaker 09

  I feel as though the Scottish part might have helped

• 25:01Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 25:02Speaker 09

  jog my memory, but not sure.

• 25:05Speaker 02

  The AKC describes this dog breed as an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, standing among America's most popular dog breeds. Nate, do you like your answer?

• 25:15Speaker 04

  Uh, I've reverted to the old marker sniff.

• 25:18Speaker 02

  Okay. See if that can, uh, kill the weak brain cells and let the strong ones come to the front of your brain. It's called culling. That's right. That's exactly what he's doing. Seth, do you like your answer? No. Okay. How about you, Corey?

• 25:34Speaker 06

  No, it's not looking good, man.

• 25:35Speaker 02

  Do you have an answer, Corey?

• 25:36Speaker 06

  Uh, sorta.

• 25:38Speaker 02

  Okay. He's giggling at his own answer.

• 25:42Speaker 06

  It's the marker.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  An exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, standing among America's most popular dog breeds.

• 25:53Speaker 02

  Lot of details from the AKC there.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  You need the full name of this.

• 26:01Speaker 04

  Can't just put dog, Alyssa.

• 26:07Speaker 02

  We've got a nice little trophy that gets to sit in someone's office for the next year, a thousand dollar donation on the line. Is everybody ready?

• 26:17Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying English pointer. Alyssa says, uh, Llewellyn setter. Marge says Griffin. John says GSP. Corey says Scottish short-haired terrier. Tressa says wire-haired pointer.

• 26:37Speaker 04

  Makes sense.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  Hansy says golden retriever. Nate says cocker spaniel.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  The old cocker.

• 26:43Speaker 02

  We have a correct answer in the room.

• 26:45Speaker 06

  Come on.

• 26:46Speaker 02

  It's golden retriever.

• 26:51Speaker 02

  Hansy got that one right.

• 26:53Speaker 06

  Who owns one of those?

• 26:54Speaker 02

  I do.

• 26:56Speaker 02

  In 2024, the Golden Retriever was America's third most popular dog breed behind French Bulldogs and Labrador Retrievers. In fourth and fifth place were German Shepherds and Poodles. The Lab was AKC's most popular breed for 31 straight years, but has finished second to the French Bulldog since 2022. Golden Retriever.

• 27:18Speaker 09

  Which I believe only 10% of in this country are actually from hunting stock.

• 27:23Speaker 02

  The Golden Retrievers?

• 27:24Speaker 09

  Which are called field bred Goldens.

• 27:26Speaker 02

  How about your field bred Golden?

• 27:28Speaker 09

  Absolutely, absolutely.

• 27:30Speaker 08

  Trapper's the best.

• 27:31Speaker 02

  He's great.

• 27:32Speaker 08

  He's the best.

• 27:33Speaker 02

  Question eight. The topic is wildlife. What continent is the platypus native to?

• 27:44Speaker 02

  Corey, very quick to answer. Is your son Marshall, is he familiar with this animal? Is that why you're so confident?

• 27:51Speaker 09

  You know, we did have a chat about a platypus not too long ago.

• 27:55Speaker 02

  What continent is the platypus native to?

• 28:02Speaker 02

  Corey, the only person to answer so far.

• 28:04Speaker 08

  No, I'm not.

• 28:05Speaker 02

  Oh, and Marge, she's probably drawing us a platypus. Is that what you're doing? That'll be a real delight. Okay, we'll find out if Marge's does or not. That'll be the official authority.

• 28:16Speaker 02

  If she's wrong, that just means the platypus are wrong. Her drawing was correct.

• 28:20Speaker 09

  Oh, man.

• 28:20Speaker 02

  What continent is the platypus native to? We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. This is question 18.

• 28:29Speaker 09

  One of seven, right?

• 28:30Speaker 08

  I believe they're poisonous.

• 28:34Speaker 02

  Nate, do you like your answer?

• 28:38Speaker 02

  No. Okay. How about you, Seth? Uh, no. Corey's got a pretty big grin down there.

• 28:44Speaker 09

  I'm not 100%.

• 28:46Speaker 02

  He's now leaking confidence.

• 28:49Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Hansy, pick a continent. Okay, okay.

• 28:59Speaker 02

  Are you listing them all out?

• 29:00Speaker 09

  Yeah.

• 29:02Speaker 02

  Do you have one?

• 29:04Speaker 09

  Yes.

• 29:04Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying South America. Alyssa says North America. Marge says Australia. She drew a wonderful platypus there. John says Asia. Corey says Australia. Tressa says Australia. Hansy says North America. Nate crossed out Asia and wrote down Australia. The correct answer is Australia. Room did pretty well.

• 29:32Speaker 09

  Nicely done.

• 29:33Speaker 02

  Noah has described the platypus as being, quote, "a duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed, egg-laying aquatic creature. They are most common in waterways of eastern Australia, where they feed on insects, shrimp, worms, crayfish, frogs, and fish. Their closest living relative is the echidna, which is a fellow egg-laying mammal that lives in Australia." All right, Phil, let's get a scoreboard update with two questions to go.

• 29:59Speaker 03

  It's an exciting game of trivia we've got going on right now.

• 30:05Speaker 03

  Alyssa, Maggie, John, Tressa, and Hansy are eliminated from the tournament.

• 30:12Speaker 03

  But Seth Morris has 10 points, and ahead of him with 12 points apiece, all tied up are new money Nate and Corey.

• 30:21Speaker 02

  Two questions to go. New money Nate.

• 30:24Speaker 04

  I didn't dress up this time. Did you get a bonus?

• 30:27Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no. He's just no longer in, Nate. Question nine, the topic is cooking. This three-letter word refers to a salmon fillet that's been salt-cured, which is commonly served on bagels.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  Oh, we have a confident room this time around. This one may not be a difference-maker. This three-letter word refers to a salmon fillet that's been salt-cured, which is commonly served on bagels.

• 30:56Speaker 02

  Very quick to answer. John, do you have an answer?

• 31:01Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  Does anyone have a hint for John? Hmm. You can't win. Wait, does Corey have an answer?

• 31:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:06Speaker 06

  Yeah. You ever been to New York?

• 31:10Speaker 03

  Uh, upstate New York, not New York City.

• 31:13Speaker 02

  Hmm. Not gonna help you there. This three-letter word refers to a salmon fillet that's been salt cured, which is commonly served on bagels. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth sang lock. Uh, Alyssa says locks.

• 31:29Speaker 03

  Uh oh.

• 31:29Speaker 02

  Marge, locks. Yeah. John without an answer. Corey, locks. Tressa, locks. Hansy, locks. Nate, locks. The correct answer is locks. Locks. L-O-X.

• 31:40Speaker 03

  Sorry Seth.

• 31:41Speaker 06

  You can pronounce a C like an X though.

• 31:43Speaker 02

  Well, uh, locks, which is spelled L-O-X, comes from the Yiddish word for salmon, which is L-A-K-S, spelled locks. Uh, a locks bagel is typically topped with cream cheese, salmon, red onions, capers, and fresh dill. It's a staple at bagel shops on the East Coast.

• 32:02Speaker 06

  So good.

• 32:02Speaker 02

  Uh, Seth is no longer in the game anyway, since Corey and Nate got that one right. Thanks for that one. I appreciate that East Coast question.

• 32:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, I was gonna say, there's your East Coast bone.

• 32:11Speaker 02

  Here's a correct answer review so far. One was sixth mass extinction. Two was Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Three was call. Four, prickly pear cactus. Five, false summit or false peak. Six, Amazon River. Seven, golden retriever. Eight, Australia. Nine, locks. Let's get one last scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer.

• 32:38Speaker 03

  Thirteen points apiece. Corey and Nate are tied up in first place.

• 32:43Speaker 06

  It's probably gonna be a fishing question.

• 32:45Speaker 02

  The title of King Jabroni is on the line. Question 20, the topic is fishing.

• 32:54Speaker 02

  Oh, fishing. And this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Chad Caston for sending this great question. Screw you Chad. Chad 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@themeat eater.com.

• 33:09Speaker 08

  Does he win a trivia game signed by the Jabronis or?

• 33:15Speaker 08

  Who wants that?

• 33:15Speaker 02

  We've got a whole stockroom out there. Question 10, the topic is fishing. What does CFS stand for when referring to a river?

• 33:26Speaker 06

  You got, how you doing down there Nate?

• 33:29Speaker 02

  What does CFS stand for when referring to a river?

• 33:33Speaker 08

  Man, I think Costco got in my head on the first game.

• 33:36Speaker 02

  You think so?

• 33:37Speaker 08

  I just wasn't quite here.

• 33:37Speaker 02

  Okay, Marge could have been contending for Queen Jabroni.

• 33:41Speaker 08

  She would have done so much better.

• 33:42Speaker 06

  What you got down there? The answer? Oh.

• 33:46Speaker 02

  And actually, in our pre-show discussion, Marge said CFS, but she never expanded on what that meant.

• 33:53Speaker 08

  That's true.

• 33:53Speaker 06

  What do you got down there?

• 33:55Speaker 02

  What does CFS stand for? Nate, do you have this one right?

• 33:58Speaker 04

  Oh, jeepers dude. I don't know.

• 34:02Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 34:03Speaker 04

  Not feeling as confident as was earlier.

• 34:05Speaker 08

  I don't think I've ever called this.

• 34:07Speaker 02

  CFS. Is everybody ready?

• 34:10Speaker 06

  I think I do.

• 34:12Speaker 02

  Go ahead.

• 34:13Speaker 08

  I hope I'm right.

• 34:13Speaker 02

  And reveal your answers. We have Seth saying cubic feet per second. Alyssa says current flow per seconds. Marge says cubic feet per second. John says current flow state. Cory says cubic feet per second. Tressa says channel fishing service. Hansy says cubic feet per second. Nate says cubic feet per second. The correct answer is cubic feet per second. Cory and Nate both got that one right.

• 34:45Speaker 06

  Damn.

• 34:47Speaker 02

  CFS measures how much water is flowing through a stream and is calculated by looking at a river's width, depth, and speed. One cubic foot of water is about the size of a basketball, so if a river is at 100 CFS, then you can visualize 100 basketballs floating by per second.

• 35:04Speaker 06

  Hmm. Didn't read that.

• 35:06Speaker 02

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

• 35:10Steven Rinella?

  Tiebreaker. If you ain't first, you're last. That's true. I think just cut it at if you ain't first, you're last.

• 35:16Speaker 02

  Will Ferrell, who showed up in jabroni episode one.

• 35:19Steven Rinella?

  I never liked it.

• 35:20Speaker 02

  Hey Phil, [__] off, man. We have one tie breaking question to declare our winner of the jabronis. This is a numerical question. Whoever is closest to the correct answer will be declared the winner. The topic is biology. How many teeth does a black bear have?

• 35:39Speaker 06

  Hmm. Oh. Okay.

• 35:42Speaker 02

  How many teeth does a black bear have? It is just down to Corey and Nate, who have 14 points, but the entire room is going to play along because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Meat Eater is going to add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.

• 35:57Speaker 03

  Corey was just on Radio Live this morning talking about a blackberry harvested.

• 36:01Speaker 02

  Oh, how many teeth does a black bear have? Nate, have you ever killed a black bear? Not even close. Have you ever seen a black bear?

• 36:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:13Speaker 02

  Okay, seen him. Corey's fixing one, fixing to kill one this month.

• 36:18Speaker 04

  I know.

• 36:19Speaker 02

  He's at an advantage.

• 36:20Speaker 04

  He's got a leg up on there.

• 36:22Speaker 03

  Corey is currently drawing a diagram of a bear's mouth on his whiteboard.

• 36:28Speaker 02

  Let's see if that helps. How many teeth does a black bear have?

• 36:35Speaker 02

  We've got a $1,000 donation on the line, maybe $1,100 if somebody can get it right on the nose and this beautiful trophy that you can see on Meat Eater Podcast YouTube channel.

• 36:48Speaker 09

  And if they don't get it, $1,000 will be billed from their.

• 36:52Speaker 02

  That's right. Yeah, yeah, actually that's the rules for the jabroni term.

• 36:55Speaker 09

  Yeah.

• 36:57Speaker 02

  Nate, where are you going to put this cute little trophy if you win?

• 36:59Speaker 04

  Oh. So many, so many places. I'll probably bring it into my bed tonight to sleep with.

• 37:07Speaker 02

  Yep. Centerpiece, your dining room table?

• 37:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, potentially.

• 37:12Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 37:12Speaker 04

  Um.

• 37:14Speaker 04

  Maybe mounted on like, like a hood ornament?

• 37:16Speaker 02

  Oh, sure. You could use it to eat.

• 37:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, there's a thought.

• 37:20Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh huh. How about you Cory? Where, where's this gonna go? If you win. You're the king jabroni.

• 37:26Speaker 06

  Probably Nate's office. Just so he can think about it every day.

• 37:29Speaker 02

  It mocks me. Is a black bear head? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying 24. Alyssa says 42. Marge says 22.

• 37:45Speaker 06

  Forty-two.

• 37:46Speaker 02

  John says 24. Tress says 26. Hansy says 36. And our two players left. We have Cory saying 32. And Nate saying 28.

• 37:56Speaker 06

  Oh, snap.

• 37:57Speaker 02

  Someone in the room has it right on the nose. The correct answer.

• 38:04Speaker 02

  Is 42 making Cory our winner? Alyssa had it right on the nose.

• 38:12Speaker 02

  That's way more than I thought. That is 20 more than a squirrel. 10 more than a human. 8 more than an elk. 4 more than a wolverine. 2 more than a raccoon. And the same amount as a coyote. Cory is our winner. The same, same amount as a coyote. I didn't expect a wolverine to have less. Cory was 10 off.

• 38:32Speaker 06

  Yeah, that was way off.

• 38:34Speaker 02

  Alright Cory, what are you gonna do with the $1,100 donation for Meat Eater as the king jabroni?

• 38:39Speaker 06

  Man, never had to think about this before.

• 38:41Speaker 02

  Have you never won? Is that the case?

• 38:44Speaker 06

  There was a group effort who beat up on Randall a couple of weeks ago.

• 38:47Speaker 02

  Taught him a lesson.

• 38:48Speaker 06

  That felt really good.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, it did feel good.

• 38:49Speaker 06

  First, first real win.

• 38:51Speaker 02

  Alright, $1,100 donation.

• 38:53Speaker 06

  Let's go to someplace real close to my heart and do the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation.

• 38:58Speaker 02

  Okay. Love it. What do you like so much about them?

• 39:00Speaker 06

  Uh, they do volunteer trail work. Uh, weed spraying. You name it, a lot of wilderness activities in the Bob Marshall. Uh, I know they were, they had a big cutback with some federal layoffs. Uh, and a lot of uncertainties, but it sounds like they have their summer programs lined up again. Check them out at, uh, well, Google Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation dot org. Uh, yeah.

• 39:24Speaker 02

  $1,100 going their way via Cory and Meat Eater. Congratulations Cory.

• 39:29Speaker 06

  Thanks.

• 39:32Speaker 02

  Until next year at least. Yeah, I guess. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 39:39Speaker 10

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

• 39:54Speaker 10

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

• 39:59Speaker 10

  And he's an amateur rock hound.

• 40:06Steven Rinella?

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

Maybe it's that tough breakup you've analyzed from every possible angle, an irrational worry you know doesn't deserve this much attention, the conversation with your boss you keep rehearsing in the shower, or that one comment someone made that you're still thinking about weeks later.

  Timeout in the field is not free. Okay? Every time you go out in the woods, there's a trade-off happening. Like you leave work early, you miss your kid's game, whatever. You forego some family gathering. If that applies to you, what you gotta do is you gotta learn how to spend the right time out in the woods, the right time in the tree. An OnX Hunt's Deer Movement Forecast tells you when deer are most likely to be on their feet based on real conditions, so you're not missing the kid's game or burning paid time off on a day that's not going to produce. The Deer Movement Forecast means missing fewer of the moments that matter, whether in the stand or back at home. Try it today in OnX Hunt.
