  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Neuharth, and today we're joined by Brody, Nate, John, Marge, Logan, and am I missing anyone? Maxwell. I'm here.

• 1:59Speaker 05

  I'm here.

• 1:59Speaker 04

  This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. All right, we have a couple mailbag questions today. Again, we're going to start doing more of this instead of the IFAQs that are just about trivia. So send your questions to [email protected] if you would like the crew to answer them. This first one is from Matthew Meshkey. I'm from North Dakota and just drew a once in a lifetime elk tag. I'm 25 and this will be my first elk hunt. Do you guys have any advice on judging elk? Let's say a 330 inch bull compared to a 360, thanks.

• 2:41Speaker 04

  I am not the guy to answer this, but we work with some people who are the people to give you a good answer. The first one here is Jason Phelps. He says, "Every bull is put together so differently that it's hard to judge them off of just a quick visualization." He's saying it's hard to tell the difference between a 330 and a 360 just from a glance. He goes on to say that you need to do some studying. And he says, "Start with the base. On a standard six-point bull, if you have 15-inch tine length, 50-inch beams, 40-inch spread, and 60 inches of mass, you have a 350-inch bull, then you can deduct and add on from there." He said, "You just, first you want to check that there's six points, then the frame,

• 3:25Speaker 04

  then see how it's all put together." So that's, that's what Phelps says. Basically, there is no quick way to field judge. Yanis Poutellis, here's what he says. "Here's a quick and dirty way to field judge bull elk. On big, mature bulls, the average mass width and main beam length will be about 200 inches." And then here's where the math starts. "The last thing to score then is the tine length. On a six-point bull, if you take the average length of the tines and multiply by 10, since he has 10 scoreable points, and then add that to 200, you'll get a good field judgment." For example, if you have a bull that has an average tine length of 15 inches, I'd guess I'm looking at a 350-inch bull.

• 4:06Speaker 04

  The math breaks down, 15 times 10 is 150, plus 200, that equals 350. If every point is pushing or exceeding 20 inches, then you're looking at a 400-inch bull. My buddy Jay Scott has done a lot of content on YouTube and Instagram about field judging. He also has an app called Horn Score that will teach you how and help you field judge elk. Yanni says he'd recommend both. Brody, do you have anything to add?

• 4:33Speaker 06

  Yeah, like I'm never going to be the kind of person that's going to walk around with those kind of math formulas.

• 4:39Speaker 05

  Or like a calculator.

• 4:42Speaker 06

  Like, I get it, like.

• 4:45Speaker 06

  I just feel like you're gonna know when you're looking at a giant, number one. But what I would look for in simpler terms than what those guys described is a long ass main beam.

• 4:57Speaker 06

  And long third and fourth points, like tall third and like that, especially that fourth one. If it's like 20, 24 inches, you're looking at a really good bull.

• 5:08Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 5:09Speaker 06

  Um, but whoever said it Phelps, like the difference between a three thirty and a three sixty is like not that much.

• 5:16Speaker 04

  He's saying you need to study it.

• 5:18Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 5:18Speaker 04

  And even, even when you study it, it's not a guarantee.

• 5:20Speaker 06

  10 or 15 inches of that could be air. If you're just looking at one that's wide and one that's narrow, you know? So lo- long main beams, long, real long third and fourth is what I would look at first, like as a general impression.

• 5:33Speaker 04

  Anyone else in the room have some input for Matthew on how to feel judge giant elk?

• 5:37Speaker 07

  I like Max's.

• 5:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:38Speaker 04

  What was Max's input?

• 5:40Speaker 05

  If you pull up the gun and start doing one of these, it's probably pretty big.

• 5:46Speaker 04

  Did you write this question, Max? Somebody from North Dakota drew a very good elk tag.

• 5:50Speaker 05

  I, I wonder, uh, what, where's he from or if I know him?

• 5:53Speaker 04

  I don't know.

• 5:53Speaker 05

  What's his first name, Matt?

• 5:54Speaker 04

  Matthew Meshke, but Maxwell also from North Dakota and drew a good elk tag this year. So we're, uh.

• 6:00Speaker 05

  No, oh yeah, but not in North Dakota.

• 6:03Speaker 04

  No.

• 6:03Speaker 05

  No, no. Did you know non-residents can't hunt in North Dakota elk?

• 6:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, I guess I, I assumed that it's the same way in South Dakota. And I feel like they manage similarly.

• 6:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:13Speaker 04

  Um, I, again, I'm, I'm not an elk killer in the room, but I, I spent some time around big elk and like Yellowstone specifically. The first thing that always jumps out to me, I'm like, oh my God, that's a big bull is it's whale tails. If it's got like really big whale tails, I'm like, oh, I'm, I'm looking at a giant bull right now.

• 6:29Speaker 05

  Like long or width?

• 6:31Speaker 04

  Uh, just both, like it's like, oh my goodness, those, those are, uh, there's some space.

• 6:35Speaker 06

  That comes into that like long fourth point, you know?

• 6:39Speaker 04

  Any other input for Matthew? Logan, what was your input?

• 6:42Speaker 06

  I mean, I've personally never killed a bull elk, so I mean, it sounds like he's in a similar situation where this is his first elk.

• 6:47Speaker 04

  Once in a lifetime.

• 6:48Speaker 06

  Yeah, once in a lifetime, but yeah, don't go home not filling your tag. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't be too concerned.

• 6:53Speaker 04

  Good advice.

• 6:54Speaker 06

  About that.

• 6:54Speaker 04

  Uh, we have another mailbag question. This will be the last one from Joshua Fowler. If Phil played along with trivia, what would he score? We need some more episodes with Phil playing. Ooh. Phil? Yeah. How would you do, you think?

• 7:05Speaker 08

  I would do alright. I think I've said before that I would, I think I'd crush cooking. I don't, I don't mean to like talk myself up. I feel like I know, I know most of the cooking questions. Everything else would be, I mean, hunting would be abysmal, fishing would be possibly worse, but I think I'd do okay in conservation or some of your weird, more esoteric categories like mountain men or geography, whatever you call them.

• 7:26Speaker 06

  For a non-hunter, Phil has absorbed a lot of information in the last like eight years. How long have you worked here, Phil?

• 7:34Speaker 08

  Uh, since 2019 and I've heard every episode of the Meat Eater Podcast, some of them multiple times. Uh, but I, I don't know how much of that I, I've actually retained. It would be a good test.

• 7:45Speaker 04

  You keep track today and see how you would do on this episode. Uh, if, if we had Phil's four verticals, if this was his brand, Phil Eater, what, what would the four verticals be?

• 7:53Speaker 08

  Oh man, well, I think video games would be my, my best category. Anything before 1995 would be spotty. I think I'd do okay though. Um, I'd say like the 1990s and early 2000s Seattle Mariners. That's, I think I'd do really well there.

• 8:07Speaker 04

  Is that the team that won how like how many hundred some?

• 8:10Speaker 08

  In 2001, they, they tied the record for, uh, I think a hundred and 62 wins in a, or.

• 8:15Speaker 04

  Hundred and sixty-two games.

• 8:16Speaker 06

  Was Ken Groh already gone at that point, Phil?

• 8:19Speaker 08

  Uh, no, no, he was still there in the, in the mid 90s. Um, but he was, he was gone by the time they, they, they tied the, the record for games.

• 8:26Speaker 04

  Here's a whiteboard for you.

• 8:27Speaker 08

  Oh, thank you.

• 8:29Speaker 04

  Uh, most wins was 116.

• 8:30Speaker 08

  116, yeah, yeah.

• 8:31Speaker 04

  Okay. So we video games, uh, early 2000s Mariners, two more categories.

• 8:36Speaker 08

  Yeah, I'd, I'd say like music. I, I think I'd do pretty well.

• 8:40Speaker 09

  Tiki drinks?

• 8:42Speaker 08

  Well, here, here's the thing. There's a part of me that wants to say like Star Wars and tiki drinks, but tho- those are deep oceans and people, I think people would call me a poser and say that I've, I've putting up rookie numbers there. Um, but, and then I'd say, I'd, let's just stick with meat eater. Cooking is the fourth one.

• 8:56Speaker 04

  Oh, wow. Okay. Good, good for Phil. Well, you'll do okay on today's episode. We have some housekeeping to get to before we play. On a previous episode of trivia, I had a question about the seven-letter chemical that M-44 bombs spray in the face of coyotes. The correct answer was cyanide, and in the flavor text, I again referenced how they explode in the coyote's face. But Jay wrote in to say that this isn't quite accurate. He pointed out that cyanide is housed in a plastic capsule that's sealed with wax. When the spring loaded plunger is triggered, it forces the solid cyanide out of the capsule and directly into the mouth of the coyote. There is no explosion and no cloud of cyanide. The emailer points

• 9:37Speaker 04

  out that I'm using jargon for anti-hunting propaganda by incorrectly referring to it as an explosion or a cyanide cloud. You know what, Jay? I think you're right. That it's important to be accurate with those things. So, there is no cloud of cyanide. There is no bomb-like explosion for those. It is a capsule that's deploying into the coyote's mouth. All right, the Shelby index for today is a four, so our winners should get eight correct answers. That's possible. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Not likely. Play the drop, Phil.

• 10:25Speaker 10

  Game on, suckers.

• 10:28Speaker 04

  Question one. The topic is Phil's vertical cooking. Hey. And this will be multiple choice. According to Outdoor Life, blank is, quote, universally the best wood for fish. Is it mesquite, hickory, pecan, or alder? You're a pecan guy. According to Outdoor Life, blank is universally the best wood for fish. The best for what? Like bonking them on the head? Or like smoking them? I think they're referring to smoking them. Universally the best wood for fish. Your four choices: mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder. Just all fish? Anything that swims.

• 11:13Speaker 06

  He's good at turkey hunting, but he doesn't know much about smoking fish, does he?

• 11:19Speaker 04

  According to Outdoor Life, this is universally the best wood for fish. Mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder.

• 11:28Speaker 05

  I'm trying to think when I buy those wood pellets. It says like.

• 11:32Speaker 04

  It's got the graph on the back.

• 11:33Speaker 05

  It says like what it's good for.

• 11:34Speaker 04

  Yep, it's a good place to start. Brody, do you have this one right?

• 11:39Speaker 06

  I have what should be the right answer.

• 11:41Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. That's a good way to put it.

• 11:44Speaker 06

  According to Brody Henderson.

• 11:45Speaker 04

  Mm hmm. Logan, have you smoked any fish?

• 11:47Speaker 11

  Uh, yes, I smoke a lot of trout. But I kind of just use whatever pellets I have.

• 11:51Speaker 04

  Whatever's handy.

• 11:52Speaker 11

  Yeah.

• 11:52Speaker 04

  John, how about you? Same exact thing. Okay. Nate? Nope, not a big fish guy. Marge, smoking fish?

• 12:00Speaker 09

  No.

• 12:01Speaker 04

  No. Maxwell, smoking fish?

• 12:03Speaker 05

  Uh, occasionally the salmon, like on a cedar plank, you know?

• 12:06Speaker 09

  I guess with Heather, but.

• 12:08Speaker 04

  There you go, you were observing.

• 12:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, what kind of wood did you use there?

• 12:11Speaker 06

  Hey.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  Your four choices for the universally best wood for fish. Mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder. Is everybody ready?

• 12:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think so.

• 12:23Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says hickory. Logan, hickory. Marge, hickory, and she drew us a nice dead fish that's getting smoked. John, hickory. Maxwell, alder. Brody, alder. The correct answer is alder.

• 12:40Speaker 04

  Got that one right. Tasting table, Bradley Smokers, Global Seafoods, and others agree that alder is the top choice for smoking fish. They say it produces a mild, delicate, sweet smoke that enhances a fish's flavor instead of overpowering it. After alderwood, the next most popular choices for seafood are oak, apple, and cherry.

• 13:02Speaker 05

  Beautiful.

• 13:04Speaker 04

  Brody, you have any other input on choosing wood for smoking fish?

• 13:07Speaker 06

  I would say anything, um, like in the fruit tree arena is good for like sweeter and milder.

• 13:14Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 13:15Speaker 06

  Versus like.

• 13:17Speaker 06

  Heavy duty smoke flavor like hickory or muskeet.

• 13:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, I've seen it described as like muskeet and hickory is like taking a sledgehammer to something. While like an alder or an oak or an apple or a cherry is like a paintbrush to something. And so you're looking to do the paintbrush when you're doing fish.

• 13:33Speaker 09

  You learn something new every day.

• 13:34Speaker 04

  Rather than hitting it with a sledgehammer. Question two, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via David Rayom. According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is quote, "The most produced shotgun in history."

• 13:54Speaker 04

  Nate and Max had their answers before I finished the question. According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.

• 14:05Speaker 07

  I'm surprised by this.

• 14:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, I feel like there's another gun you've jumped to as like, oh, that's the most produced one. And we can get into the stats after this, but I think that one's not far behind.

• 14:16Speaker 07

  That's what I shot my turkey with on Wednesday.

• 14:18Speaker 04

  Oh, good.

• 14:18Speaker 09

  Really?

• 14:19Speaker 04

  I feel like that's a little much.

• 14:21Speaker 06

  I think you're gonna be real disappointed with your answer, Max.

• 14:23Speaker 04

  Really? Okay, too late to change.

• 14:26Speaker 07

  I wonder if we have the same one then. Tell them how you really feel, Brody.

• 14:28Speaker 04

  According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.

• 14:40Speaker 04

  No.

• 14:40Speaker 07

  If this gets real tiki-tacky, I'm gonna be pissed.

• 14:43Speaker 04

  Okay. Nate is now unsure of his answer.

• 14:49Speaker 06

  I just know.

• 14:49Speaker 04

  And between Brody and Max, I would feel like Max has a deeper knowledge of shotgun. So I'm excited to see what you guys have for your answers.

• 14:57Speaker 07

  I mean, I can't.

• 14:58Speaker 06

  He ain't got it right.

• 14:58Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 14:59Speaker 06

  Like 100% he's wrong.

• 15:01Speaker 04

  Wow, okay. Is it just not a Mossberg that he wrote down or did he write down a Mossberg?

• 15:05Speaker 06

  It's not a Mossberg.

• 15:06Speaker 09

  What?

• 15:07Speaker 07

  All right, buddy. No, what gun am I thinking of?

• 15:10Speaker 04

  We're gonna give our other players.

• 15:11Speaker 06

  The one Spencer was talking about.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  A little bit longer.

• 15:13Speaker 07

  Hey, no, no, no, no, you gotta stop over there, brother.

• 15:16Speaker 04

  According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.

• 15:23Speaker 07

  All right, let's flip these bad Larrys.

• 15:25Speaker 04

  Marge, John, Logan, how you doing?

• 15:27Speaker 09

  I'm not answering, I'm drunk.

• 15:28Speaker 07

  I mean, I keep thinking, I keep thinking of a competitor that I have owned. All right, all right.

• 15:35Speaker 06

  Well, it's fine. Everyone's got their answer. Johnny, give up. Write something down, man. Yeah.

• 15:39Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Mossberg 500. Logan says 12 gauge. Marge drew us a strutting turkey.

• 15:48Speaker 09

  I'm trying to.

• 15:49Speaker 04

  John, without an answer. Max says the Remington 870. Rem. Brody says the Mossberg 500. Brody and Nate got it. Who knows more about shotguns? Ooh.

• 15:59Speaker 05

  I didn't say it. Spencer said it.

• 16:01Speaker 04

  Is the Mossberg 500.

• 16:03Speaker 05

  Why did I say 870?

• 16:05Speaker 04

  There have been 12 million Mossberg 500s made, which is about 1 million more than the second place Remington 870. It was created by Carl Benson in 1961 with the user base in mind being hunters. But the pump action shotgun was quickly adopted by law enforcement and military, which raised its popularity as one of the world's most used guns.

• 16:27Speaker 07

  We had 870s in the armory, not 500s.

• 16:31Speaker 04

  I, I think it probably varies on what.

• 16:33Speaker 07

  I'm just saying the military, like, I'm surprised. I thought it was gonna be the opposite of that.

• 16:36Speaker 05

  Gosh.

• 16:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, Mossberg 500.

• 16:38Speaker 05

  I had 870 in my mind. I was like, yep, it's gotta be it.

• 16:41Speaker 04

  Do you own a Mossberg 500?

• 16:44Speaker 05

  No.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  No.

• 16:44Speaker 05

  I don't. Or an 870.

• 16:46Speaker 04

  Oh, wow.

• 16:47Speaker 07

  He's a fancy guy.

• 16:48Speaker 04

  You don't go with one or two on the most made shotgun list.

• 16:51Speaker 05

  No.

• 16:52Speaker 04

  Question three. The topic is conservation. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.

• 17:05Speaker 04

  Nate and Brody already have their answer. Max is joining them. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.

• 17:19Speaker 06

  Man, my last name is Dove. This is disappointing that I don't know who this is.

• 17:23Speaker 04

  We'll educate you all about doves after this.

• 17:26Speaker 07

  Cousin Eurasian.

• 17:28Speaker 04

  The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.

• 17:34Speaker 06

  Sometimes I have to get the old red rider for these things when they're in my garden.

• 17:39Speaker 04

  Yeah. Max, do you, do you know this one?

• 17:41Speaker 05

  I would, I would hope so.

• 17:43Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 17:44Speaker 06

  That's right, Max. Good job.

• 17:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, Max is back on track.

• 17:48Speaker 08

  And Spencer, I've gone through the questions. The fill index is also a four today.

• 17:51Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. Great. I like that.

• 17:55Speaker 04

  Marge, do you have this one right?

• 17:57Speaker 06

  No.

• 17:58Speaker 04

  John, how about you?

• 17:59Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 18:01Speaker 06

  I bet you could walk out this door and go outside and find one of these things in like thirty seconds.

• 18:05Speaker 04

  I think so, yeah.

• 18:07Speaker 07

  You could also find a moose in about thirty seconds.

• 18:09Speaker 06

  I heard, yeah.

• 18:10Speaker 04

  Oh, I heard that today.

• 18:11Speaker 11

  Oh, was that in the like actual pond back there? Is that the park or over here?

• 18:14Speaker 05

  Oh, okay. But some, I don't know who it was, but someone told me that the moose was walking around like our.

• 18:22Speaker 07

  Dude, how are your chicks doing? I want a chick update.

• 18:25Speaker 05

  There, I think, I'm ninety-nine point nine percent sure there's a hen nesting in our hen house.

• 18:31Speaker 06

  You need to swim out there and take a look.

• 18:33Speaker 05

  I don't need to swim. So, um, yeah, the drake is just like using the pond and like the hen's nowhere to be found and like you can't confirm it in the hen house, but it's like, there's a little bump in there that I think it's a.

• 18:46Speaker 07

  Little baby bump.

• 18:47Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 18:48Speaker 05

  Little hen mallard, so.

• 18:49Speaker 04

  One more time, we're on question three. The topic is conservation. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says rock.

• 19:03Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 19:04Speaker 04

  Logan, mourning, Marge, mourning, John, collared, Maxwell, collared, Brody, collared. The correct answer is collared.

• 19:13Speaker 05

  What was I thinking?

• 19:13Speaker 04

  Eurasian collared dove.

• 19:15Speaker 06

  I don't think you were. You know what a rock dove is?

• 19:17Speaker 04

  That's a pigeon.

• 19:18Speaker 05

  Pigeon.

• 19:19Speaker 06

  That's it.

• 19:20Speaker 04

  Dang. The Eurasian collared dove is native to Africa, Europe, and Asia. It made its way into the United States after some escaped from captivity in the Bahamas in nineteen seventy-four. They are taller and heavier than the native mourning dove and white winged dove and are easily identified by the black stripe that forms a semi-circle on the back of their neck. Most states allow unregulated hunting for collared doves as they outcompete native birds for food and nesting sites. Uh, as Brody said, you'll, you'll find them in the Gallatin Valley here, as I think, uh, probably potentially all fifty states.

• 19:55Speaker 05

  And all times of year too. Doesn't matter.

• 19:58Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, they don't.

• 19:59Speaker 05

  Morning doves pitch at south, like in the fall, but like Eurasian doves are here all winter long.

• 20:04Speaker 06

  Do they taste good? It tastes like a dove.

• 20:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think if you did a Pepsi challenge, you wouldn't know. The difference is my guess. Now, the other day at my bird feeder in my backyard, I had a white winged dove, which was very exciting because those are typically found in the southwest, they're a desert bird, and it's kind of uncommon for them to make it up this far north. Uh, so a white winged dove.

  Question for the topic is woodsmanship. This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers.

• 22:15Speaker 04

  Nate has his answer. Max says he's got it. This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers.

• 22:28Speaker 07

  I think.

• 22:31Speaker 07

  I don't know any other that would fall into this category.

• 22:34Speaker 05

  Hmm, for some reason, I, I have a reason why I put this answer down, but I don't know where it came from.

• 22:39Speaker 07

  I do too.

• 22:40Speaker 06

  You know Nate, I don't think you get enough credit for being one of the most well-dressed people at Meat Eater.

• 22:45Speaker 07

  You know, I appreciate that. Thank you.

• 22:48Speaker 05

  What did I tell you this morning?

• 22:50Speaker 07

  Thanks a lot.

• 22:50Speaker 06

  Rarely see you in a t-shirt.

• 22:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, he, uh, he also got complimented. Uh, we were filming something down in the kitchen earlier and he walked by letting his dog out and, uh, Nick Glenn complimented him.

• 23:01Speaker 07

  It's very sweet.

• 23:02Speaker 04

  And then, uh, Nate said that he wore this to church yesterday and he didn't want to fold it up. So it was his Monday out.

• 23:08Speaker 07

  I laid it on the ground. I think Chip slept on it last night and then I put it back on this morning. I did discover that I have a hole right in my crotch though. So don't look.

• 23:17Speaker 04

  Now they're, now they're, they're too holy for church.

• 23:20Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 23:22Speaker 04

  This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers. I was making some smoked salsa, uh, down in the kitchen. We taste tested it beforehand. Uh, give, give us a review somebody so that people want to go watch the video of it when it comes out in a few days.

• 23:44Speaker 07

  It was delicious.

• 23:45Speaker 05

  I thought it was great.

• 23:45Speaker 06

  So good, spicy.

• 23:47Speaker 09

  I put that on chicken, not just chips. It was very good. Not just tacos.

• 23:52Speaker 05

  You outdid yourself, Spencer.

• 23:53Speaker 04

  That video will be up very soon.

• 23:55Speaker 07

  I rolled up to the grill expecting to say you were smoking some fish or whatever and it was salsa.

• 24:01Speaker 06

  Coming soon to the Meat Eater store. Spencer's chili, Spencer's salsa.

• 24:05Speaker 11

  It kinda tastes like hot mama salsa. I don't know if you've had that one, but it's like.

• 24:09Speaker 05

  Oh, isn't that from Costco?

• 24:10Speaker 11

  No.

• 24:11Speaker 05

  No, hot mamas.

• 24:11Speaker 11

  It's like around this area.

• 24:12Speaker 05

  It's a local Bozeman.

• 24:13Speaker 11

  Yeah.

• 24:14Speaker 05

  Hmm. What's the one from Costco that's really good?

• 24:17Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, that sounds good.

• 24:18Speaker 07

  That peach salsa dude is.

• 24:20Speaker 06

  It's a little salty, but it's good.

• 24:22Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready for the unit of measurement?

• 24:24Speaker 06

  Yellow.

• 24:25Speaker 04

  It's equal to four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says hand. Logan says cap. Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Max says shoulder. Brody says hand. The correct answer.

• 24:42Speaker 04

  Is hand, Brody and Nate got that one right.

• 24:46Speaker 07

  Tyler Childers.

• 24:47Speaker 05

  Maybe that's what I was thinking about.

• 24:49Speaker 04

  This four inch unit is roughly the distance between your pinky and thumb when your fingers are held together. The hand measurement goes back to ancient Egypt where a hand was 3.7 inches and a fist was 4.25 inches. On horses, hands refer to the distance between the ground and the top of the shoulders. The average horse is about 15 hands tall, while a tall horse is usually greater than 16.

• 25:13Speaker 05

  I knew shoulders was in there somewhere.

• 25:15Speaker 11

  What are withers?

• 25:17Speaker 04

  Withers would be the top of the shoulders, I believe.

• 25:20Speaker 05

  Shoot.

• 25:21Speaker 04

  Question five, the topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Matthew Smith for sending this great question. Matthew is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.

• 25:48Speaker 04

  This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.

• 25:58Speaker 04

  The room looks stumped.

• 26:03Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 26:05Speaker 04

  Yanni was supposed to be here today, and I expected that Yanni and Brody would immediately have this one right. This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock. But this could be a zero percenter.

• 26:22Speaker 04

  I gotta read this. Phil, one through five, which of these would you have right so far in our first five questions?

• 26:28Speaker 08

  Uh, so this was my toughest stretch here. I think the only one I would have gotten right would have been the, the cooking one, number one, Alder smoked salmon is a PNW delicacy.

• 26:39Speaker 04

  Of course. Brody, do you have a 10-letter fish?

• 26:43Speaker 08

  Yep.

• 26:43Speaker 04

  Nate, do you have a 10-letter fish?

• 26:45Speaker 07

  Yeah, I, I feel like I'm in another tropical type situation.

• 26:48Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 26:50Speaker 05

  Named after its teeth.

• 26:51Speaker 04

  This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.

• 27:03Speaker 11

  I had a nine-letter fish and I added one letter also. We'll see the hands out.

• 27:07Speaker 04

  All right.

• 27:08Speaker 07

  It's always a good strategy.

• 27:13Speaker 08

  Yeah, number five here was one where I, it's one of those ones where you hear the answer and you're like, oh, but I don't think I would have put it together. If that's a hint for anybody, I don't think it is.

• 27:23Speaker 04

  Ten letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.

• 27:32Speaker 04

  Do our other three players give up?

• 27:36Speaker 09

  I'm gonna get skunked this game.

• 27:38Speaker 04

  Oh, you got, you got a couple in you, Marge. Maxwell, you give up?

• 27:42Speaker 07

  If I get this wrong, I'd like to present my case to the jury or judge.

• 27:46Speaker 04

  Yeah, I can't think of anything. I'm sorry. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says cuddlefish. Logan, sheep's head. Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody, sheep's head. He got it. The correct answer is sheep's head.

• 28:02Speaker 06

  Nice work.

• 28:03Speaker 07

  I'm just saying, you'd find cud in the mouth of livestock.

• 28:08Speaker 04

  Is that why they're called cuddlefish?

• 28:11Speaker 08

  Cuddle?

• 28:12Speaker 06

  I don't think your logic's working there, buddy.

• 28:15Speaker 09

  I think the biggest thing is that cuddlefish aren't fish.

• 28:20Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 28:20Speaker 07

  Touche.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  Okay, thank you.

• 28:22Speaker 07

  I rest my case.

• 28:24Speaker 04

  The sheep's head range stretches along the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to Brazil. They use those unique teeth to crush and grind shelled animals such as crabs, oysters, and barnacles. New teeth are constantly replacing old teeth that wear down and break. Here's a picture of their mouth. This is why they call them sheep's head.

• 28:43Speaker 08

  I thought they were, it was just sheep.

• 28:44Speaker 04

  I caught one of these.

• 28:45Speaker 08

  That's why I asked.

• 28:46Speaker 07

  I think it's a weirdly phrased question.

• 28:48Speaker 06

  Many different versions of this fish. Well, that, there's many fish that have this name and sometimes you'll hear them called sheep heads.

• 28:54Speaker 04

  Freshwater drum, that's one that where I grew up.

• 28:57Speaker 06

  There's Atlantic sheep head, there's Pacific sheep head. They don't look anything alike, like, yeah.

• 29:02Speaker 04

  If you ask somebody where I was growing up, if they, like, what'd you catch today? And they were to catch a freshwater drum, there's like an 80% chance they would say a sheep head.

• 29:10Speaker 08

  Yep.

• 29:11Speaker 04

  But those drum do not have the teeth like this. So that, I think, you're like, using the extern or the exterior of the fish to be like, that looks like the head of a sheep.

• 29:19Speaker 06

  Like, growing up in Lake Erie, we considered those things trash fish.

• 29:23Speaker 11

  Oh, this is so good. When we went to Florida, we caught a bunch of those. It was super fun to fish for. We like drop it down.

• 29:28Speaker 04

  This, this sheep's head you're talking about.

• 29:30Speaker 06

  I caught one on the fly rod.

• 29:31Speaker 11

  Oh, these things are very good to eat. Real good to eat.

• 29:34Speaker 04

  All right, we are halfway through.

• 29:36Speaker 06

  Baby black drum?

• 29:38Speaker 04

  I'm pretty sure. Had the stripes and everything.

• 29:40Speaker 06

  Love baby black drum have stripes.

• 29:42Speaker 05

  Do you remember those teeth, Max?

• 29:43Speaker 04

  I remember those teeth.

• 29:44Speaker 06

  Okay, alright.

• 29:45Speaker 05

  Black drum would not have those.

• 29:47Speaker 04

  Alright, Phil. Halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 29:50Speaker 07

  Oh, bud.

• 29:50Speaker 08

  Yeah, here at halftime. Maggie's not on the board yet with zero points. Logan and John have one point apiece. Nate and Max are tied up with two. And with a perfect game, he doesn't have a flushed face doctor nipping at his heels today. He's feeling good.

• 30:06Speaker 06

  I wish, I wish he was here.

• 30:07Speaker 08

  He's got five points. Brody Henderson.

• 30:09Speaker 07

  Oh, we need like a colossal meltdown.

• 30:11Speaker 06

  Just to see the sweat pouring down his face.

• 30:13Speaker 04

  Brody could ramp up the earliest victory ever. Hey. By like question seven. We'll see how this goes. There's hope.

• 30:19Speaker 06

  How about this, people?

• 30:21Speaker 04

  Let's do it. I am all about it.

• 30:23Speaker 06

  Whoever finishes second gets to pick the donor.

• 30:26Speaker 07

  Oh, I like it. I like it. Conolation prize.

• 30:28Speaker 08

  So kind.

• 30:28Speaker 04

  Sure. He's not gonna give you the win, though.

• 30:30Speaker 06

  No.

• 30:31Speaker 07

  No.

• 30:31Speaker 06

  But you can pick who it goes to, so keep playing.

• 30:34Speaker 04

  Question six. The topic is hunting. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. Brody has the perfect game to start. Finish his answer before I finish the question. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread.

• 31:01Speaker 06

  This is sneaky. Steve's dream project is to do a big, big movie about this.

• 31:06Speaker 04

  I know. He always talks.

• 31:07Speaker 07

  Oh, I think I got it, then.

• 31:08Speaker 08

  Yeah, I was gonna say, I was a pretty big hint.

• 31:11Speaker 06

  That's alright, Phil.

• 31:12Speaker 08

  I'm not worried for you, Brody.

• 31:16Speaker 06

  Is it that guy? Well, it's like getting in the right direction. We'll see what Spencer says.

• 31:22Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 31:22Speaker 06

  But, no.

• 31:23Speaker 08

  Doesn't sound like Max now.

• 31:25Speaker 04

  You got some letters mixed up, maybe in the wrong place. I thought, I thought this. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. Nate, do you have this one right?

• 31:39Speaker 07

  Yeah, I think so.

• 31:41Speaker 04

  I thought it was.

• 31:44Speaker 07

  You almost got me, you sneaky sneak.

• 31:47Speaker 04

  I don't think this is.

• 31:48Speaker 06

  I just told you you're going in the right direction.

• 31:49Speaker 04

  Any trickery.

• 31:51Speaker 07

  Then I probably don't have it.

• 31:52Speaker 04

  Okay. Yes.

• 31:55Speaker 07

  No, I think I got it.

• 31:55Speaker 04

  Steve is obsessed with this story. As I think many hunters from his part of the world are.

• 32:05Speaker 07

  Dude, I got some juicy deets on the Beatty Buck.

• 32:08Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 32:08Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 32:09Speaker 04

  Tell me more.

• 32:09Speaker 07

  We'll talk about it after.

• 32:11Speaker 04

  It's not Mitch Beatty Buck.

• 32:13Speaker 07

  No, it's not that.

• 32:14Speaker 04

  The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. I have heard that you need to be careful what you say about this deer because the family is litigious. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

• 32:28Speaker 07

  It's a good word.

• 32:31Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? The whole story is hilarious. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Rumpala. Logan says Letterman. That's a different, that's a famous mule here in Montana. Uh, Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Maxwell says Mitch Paula.

• 32:48Speaker 05

  I had Ron Paula down. R O N.

• 32:53Speaker 04

  Brody says Rumpala. The correct answer is Rumpala. Now, what do you have there? Show us again. You have R A P.

• 33:02Speaker 05

  Me?

• 33:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:03Speaker 05

  I have Mitch Paula.

• 33:04Speaker 04

  He had Ron Paul.

• 33:06Speaker 05

  I, I, this is what I had.

• 33:08Speaker 04

  Oh, so close.

• 33:10Speaker 05

  I thought it was two names. I had Ron Paul.

• 33:12Speaker 04

  Max?

• 33:14Speaker 05

  Ron Paul?

• 33:15Speaker 04

  Max's answer, Max's answer is like if we played a game of telephone and he was last.

• 33:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, most of the time it is.

• 33:23Speaker 04

  Uh, Mitch Rumpala. The Mitch Rumpala Buck was supposedly killed in nineteen ninety-eight in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. It measured over two hundred sixteen inches, which topped the world record Milo Hansen Buck. But the deer was never officially entered into the Boone and Crockett record books, which added to speculation about the rack's authenticity. A fellow Michigan hunter even publicly offered to give ten thousand dollars to a charity of Rumpala's choosing for him to get the skull x-rayed. But Rumpala declined. According to two thousand six, two thousand six polling from whitetail.com, eighty-three percent of hunters believe the buck is a hoax.

• 34:03Speaker 07

  It just looks like it. It looks like the friggin Bigfoot footage.

• 34:05Speaker 04

  We have a picture of the Mitch Rumpala buck here. Uh, and Mitch was also known for like killing incredibly, incredibly wide deer out of the same like area in Michigan that is not known for big deer.

• 34:20Speaker 05

  This was pre-AI too, so.

• 34:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, 1998. He had to do some manual work to uh.

• 34:27Speaker 07

  Allegedly Spencer, allegedly.

• 34:29Speaker 04

  Of course, yes. Uh, do you have any, any story for us Nate on the Beatty buck?

• 34:35Speaker 07

  Okay, so.

• 34:35Speaker 04

  What's the Beatty buck?

• 34:36Speaker 07

  The Beatty buck was the largest atypical until like what Mufasa was killed or whatever that one in Illinois or Iowa.

• 34:42Speaker 04

  God.

• 34:43Speaker 07

  You know what I'm talking about?

• 34:44Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 34:45Speaker 07

  Um.

• 34:46Speaker 04

  Luke Brewster.

• 34:47Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but that, that was killed real close to my college, Cedarville, Ohio, shout out. And it was killed right on the edge of this like nature preserve.

• 34:57Speaker 04

  Ooh.

• 34:57Speaker 07

  That nobody gets to run around in and giant bucks get grown all the time. So everyone's always talking in that area like, oh, was it really killed on the edge? But we were, uh, we were at a party and went down the basement and, uh, there's a life-size Beatty buck.

• 35:13Speaker 04

  Ooh.

• 35:13Speaker 07

  What the heck? Whose house is this? And it was John Beatty's house.

• 35:17Speaker 04

  Oh damn.

• 35:18Speaker 07

  His daughter's throwing a party. Hopefully he's not.

• 35:21Speaker 04

  But that doesn't settle the controversy.

• 35:24Speaker 07

  Well, that's how it all got started. We were like, what the heck? And then, yeah.

• 35:27Speaker 04

  Today's point, whenever a really big deer gets killed, it doesn't matter if it's Mitch Rumpala or anybody in the world. There is speculation about how it died and then the legality of everything. When Dustin Huff killed his United States record typical buck and I had talked to him that next morning, I told him, I was like, dude, get a game warden to come out today and just like verify all of your facts. And then there will be no question as to how any of this went down. Uh, and that was one of the first steps he took just because this, this naturally happens no matter what. Question seven, the topic is conservation. What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?

• 36:08Speaker 04

  What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in? This is question seven. The topic is conservation.

• 36:15Speaker 05

  This is a tough one.

• 36:15Speaker 07

  Oh dude.

• 36:17Speaker 04

  This could ruin Brody's game.

• 36:19Speaker 05

  It could.

• 36:23Speaker 04

  Maxwell rocking his Minnesota Wild hat today.

• 36:27Speaker 05

  Big game tonight.

• 36:29Speaker 04

  How they gonna do in the playoffs?

• 36:31Speaker 05

  Well, they beat the Stars, uh, first game, round one, so I have hopes for them. Not high hopes, I just have hopes.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Okay. What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?

• 36:45Speaker 04

  This, this episode's coming out in a couple of days, Maxwell, make us a prediction for the Wild tonight.

• 36:49Speaker 05

  Wild win.

• 36:50Speaker 04

  Okay. By a score of?

• 36:52Speaker 05

  Three, two.

• 36:53Speaker 04

  Alright.

• 36:56Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 36:57Speaker 06

  No.

• 36:59Speaker 04

  You got Max distracted with oceans.

• 37:01Speaker 05

  I know, I'm trying to name my oceans.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?

• 37:13Speaker 04

  Nate, did you change your answer?

• 37:15Speaker 07

  No, I should have, though.

• 37:18Speaker 04

  It's not too late.

• 37:18Speaker 07

  I know, I know. I'll be more pissed if I change it and get it wrong.

• 37:22Speaker 04

  Marge, do you have this one right?

• 37:25Speaker 09

  I think so.

• 37:25Speaker 04

  Okay. She shook her head no and said, "I think so."

• 37:29Speaker 05

  Gosh, why am I, I'm just blanking.

• 37:32Speaker 04

  Maxwell, we're waiting on you.

• 37:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's fine. We can wait all day.

• 37:37Speaker 07

  I'm just recalling.

• 37:39Speaker 06

  Think of a Christmas song? I think there's a few you can eliminate pretty quickly, Matt, but I'm not aware of your, like, grasp of geography, so...

• 37:48Speaker 05

  I know. Um, but I'm just trying to think when one starts and one ends.

• 37:54Speaker 04

  Hmm. Me and Max.

• 37:56Speaker 06

  Think about it.

• 37:57Speaker 04

  Me and Max grew up in the Dakotas, and in western South Dakota, you have the point of inaccessibility, which is the furthest you can be on the continent from salt water.

• 38:07Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  Me and Max, it's tough going to the ocean for us.

• 38:11Speaker 09

  It's not our Dakota.

• 38:12Speaker 05

  I, I think you, I got that one crossed out. Um, man.

• 38:20Speaker 04

  Couple more seconds here, Max. You good? John, are you good?

• 38:24Speaker 11

  Yes.

• 38:25Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate, Atlantic. Logan, Pacific. Marge, Pacific. John, Indian. Max, Atlantic. Brody, Pacific. If it's Indian, I'm gonna be mad. The correct answer.

• 38:41Speaker 09

  It's not Indian.

• 38:42Speaker 04

  Is the Pacific Ocean. Brody keeps his perfect game going.

• 38:47Speaker 09

  They're for Ecuador.

• 38:49Speaker 04

  The Galapagos Islands are located... If you kept going, you'd hit the Indian Ocean if you kept going that way.

• 38:55Speaker 09

  I mean, in between China and India is the Indian Ocean.

• 39:00Speaker 04

  The Galapagos Islands are located about 600 miles west of South America. They consist of 13 main islands and six smaller islands. The Galapagos are home to 188 species that are labeled as critically endangered, endangered, or threatened.

• 39:15Speaker 07

  I was just stuck on Master and Commander, dude.

• 39:18Speaker 04

  I was thinking about Africa.

• 39:19Speaker 07

  I thought that whole movie was set in Atlanta.

• 39:20Speaker 09

  You gotta go past Australia, like, eventually, but like...

• 39:25Speaker 07

  Okay, world traveler, Marge.

• 39:27Speaker 06

  The two oceans touch each other.

• 39:29Speaker 09

  I mean, all oceans touch each other.

• 39:32Speaker 06

  No, they don't. The Arctic Ocean doesn't touch, uh, like...

• 39:36Speaker 04

  The southern ocean.

• 39:37Speaker 07

  Antarctica.

• 39:38Speaker 09

  Of course it does.

• 39:39Speaker 06

  How?

• 39:40Speaker 04

  All water's connected.

• 39:41Speaker 09

  All the ocean is all connected.

• 39:43Speaker 06

  No, come on.

• 39:44Speaker 07

  He's saying adjacent.

• 39:45Speaker 06

  Question eight. Come on.

• 39:48Speaker 04

  The topic is geared.

• 39:50Speaker 07

  He's still got it right. He's still whacking all of us.

• 41:28Speaker 04

  Question eight, the topic is gear. Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.

• 41:40Speaker 04

  Nate?

• 41:41Speaker 07

  Dude, I almost bought a pair of these at the thrift store yesterday.

• 41:43Speaker 04

  Oh, that's a good place to find these. Brody, do you have this one right?

• 41:47Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 41:48Speaker 04

  Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.

• 41:56Speaker 06

  In fact, I only knew them as...

• 41:59Speaker 04

  Oh, you didn't know them as bunny boots?

• 42:00Speaker 06

  Yeah, the answer is...

• 42:01Speaker 04

  Nate, do you own a pair of these then or no?

• 42:03Speaker 07

  No.

• 42:03Speaker 04

  How about you, Brody? Have you ever put your feet in bunny boots?

• 42:07Speaker 06

  Me?

• 42:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:10Speaker 07

  Ice fishing?

• 42:12Speaker 06

  Um, no, I can't remember. It was some Meat Eater thing. Maybe it was ice fishing. I don't know.

• 42:18Speaker 04

  Brody and Nate's habit are on the same

• 42:20Speaker 06

  But it used to be, I don't know, like I haven't been in an army surplus store in so long, but you used to be able to just go pick them up.

• 42:25Speaker 07

  Oh dude, that one that coming back from Salt Lake is so good. What's that one called?

• 42:30Speaker 04

  Phil, do you got this one right?

• 42:32Speaker 08

  This was one I did not get correct, no.

• 42:34Speaker 04

  Can I call my dad?

• 42:35Speaker 07

  Maggie, I feel like you just wear these to work sometimes. I feel like I've seen that. No?

• 42:41Speaker 04

  Max, do you think, uh, do you think your dad owns these?

• 42:44Speaker 05

  I think he does.

• 42:45Speaker 04

  Do you think your father-in-law owns these?

• 42:47Speaker 05

  Probably does.

• 42:48Speaker 04

  Okay. He would know what bunny boots are also known as.

• 42:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 42:51Speaker 04

  Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.

• 42:59Speaker 05

  I'm gonna take a picture and send it to my dad, see if he gets it.

• 43:02Speaker 09

  Nate?

• 43:02Speaker 08

  What?

• 43:03Speaker 09

  I own moon boots.

• 43:04Speaker 08

  Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

• 43:04Speaker 05

  Phil's in it this time and not Reva.

• 43:08Speaker 04

  This is Max's new trick. He likes to, uh, phone a friend, but it doesn't count.

• 43:12Speaker 05

  Well, I just, I don't know the answer until they text back.

• 43:15Speaker 04

  Logan, do you have this one right?

• 43:17Speaker 06

  I don't think so.

• 43:18Speaker 04

  They probably have these at the army surplus store in Chicago.

• 43:21Speaker 05

  My dad's the worst texter too, so he's not gonna reply for a while.

• 43:24Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Mickey Mouse, Logan, Space Boots, Marge without an answer, John says Mox, Maxwell without an answer, Brody, Mickey Mouse Boots, the correct answer are Miss Mickey Mouse Boots.

• 43:41Speaker 09

  Do we have a picture?

• 43:42Speaker 04

  Um, I don't have them.

• 43:43Speaker 06

  You'll recognize them if you see them.

• 43:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, they, uh, well, I'll describe for you what they look like. Bunny boots are extreme cold vapor barrier boots that are designed to be worn in temps down to negative sixty degrees Fahrenheit. They were also referred to as Mickey Mouse Boots due to their oversized appearance that resemble the footwear of the Disney cartoon. Army surplus bunny boots can be purchased for about one hundred dollars, while some commercial brands will sell their own versions that retail for between two hundred dollars and four hundred dollars.

• 44:12Speaker 06

  The whole deal is you inflate them, right?

• 44:15Speaker 04

  I don't know how the vapor lock works, but like the thing is they have they had the vapor lock.

• 44:19Speaker 11

  Yeah.

• 44:20Speaker 04

  Um, but they're giant boots that are either like pure white, which I think is when it's a bunny boot or black when it's a Mickey Mouse boot and uh Phil has done a great job of producing over there and he pulled us up a picture.

• 44:32Speaker 09

  My Fabuki's, my Fabuki's look like those.

• 44:36Speaker 04

  Don't know what those are, but.

• 44:37Speaker 09

  They kinda look like the Alaska company boots that Seth has, right?

• 44:41Speaker 04

  Those are the Mickey Mouse boots, you're right, Marge. And I bet some people call them space boots, Logan, but that we're not gonna count that as a cartoon.

• 44:49Speaker 09

  My Fabuki's do look like those.

• 44:51Speaker 11

  I originally had Looney Tunes written down.

• 44:53Speaker 04

  All right, Phil, two questions left. Please give us a scoreboard update.

• 44:57Speaker 08

  Everyone's on the board now. Maggie and John have one point. Logan and Max tied up with two. Nate's got four now and Brody still with a perfect game here in the final stretch has eight points.

• 45:09Speaker 04

  Question nine, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Chris DeVries. This six-letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish. My goodness. Probably the first time in media trivia history where we have had two questions about animal teeth.

• 45:33Speaker 09

  What if you spell it wrong?

• 45:34Speaker 04

  Oh. If you got uh everything else right there, Marge, but a letter two is wrong, that's okay. This six-letter word. It's okay, Marge. Refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish. I know what we're talking about. This is a whale. As soon as I hear it. We have a picture of those teeth after this answer is revealed. Brody, is this gonna keep the perfect game going?

• 46:03Speaker 11

  Yeah.

• 46:04Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 46:06Speaker 06

  I wish someone would give Nate a run for second place though.

• 46:09Speaker 04

  Talking about this, right? Yeah. Had, you know, good job, Matt. We don't even need to show the picture. It looks like a dragon. I hope that Marge one ups you though and shows us even.

• 46:18Speaker 09

  I didn't, I didn't draw a picture. I was just trying to spell.

• 46:21Speaker 04

  Six letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish.

• 46:31Speaker 09

  Gosh.

• 46:32Speaker 04

  Give me a sec. Just give me a sec. Oh, okay. Nate thinks it's, it's in there somewhere.

• 46:36Speaker 09

  Say it out loud and not spell it.

• 46:39Speaker 04

  When we, uh, before we flip over the boards, Marge, you can just say your answer into the mic. And if that's right, you'll get the point. Ah. Do you think it's in your brain as well, Maxwell? Yeah, 100%. Okay. He drew it for us and I think his drawing is accurate. Yeah, I erased it. It wasn't my best Picasso work. We are, uh, now into late April and I don't think we've had a perfect game yet. So Brody is flirting with one. Really? All year long? I think it's, I think we've been in a drought this year of perfect games. Six letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish.

• 47:24Speaker 04

  Maxwell, do you give up? I'm really excited for Brody to get to question 10.

• 47:27Speaker 09

  Hey Brody, some of these whales cross many oceans.

• 47:30Speaker 04

  Mmm. Some do. Is, is everybody ready? Yeah. Okay, Marge, you say your answer for us.

• 47:37Speaker 09

  Baleen?

• 47:38Speaker 04

  Oh! That's right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Ah! Nate says filter. Logan without an answer. Marge says Baleen. Spelled it three times. And one of her three spellings is correct. That's awesome. John without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody says Baleen. The correct answer is Baleen. B A L E E N.

• 47:56Speaker 09

  Okay.

• 47:57Speaker 04

  I didn't, I knew that. I knew it's a type of whale. Ah. That's right. There are fourteen species of baleen whale, which include the blue whale, gray whale, and humpback whale. The baleen is made of keratin, which is the same protein that makes up our fingernails and hair. In some species, the baleen can reach thirteen feet long. During feeding season, blue whales can consume thirty-five thousand pounds of krill per day. There is a picture of what Max drew us.

• 48:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 48:26Speaker 04

  The baleen.

• 48:27Speaker 05

  Wait.

• 48:27Speaker 04

  In a whale's mouth. I believe that is a humpback.

• 48:30Speaker 07

  Are they pushing the water back out and then the krill are getting stuck in their mouth?

• 48:34Speaker 04

  I assume that's what they do.

• 48:36Speaker 07

  They suck it in, close, push, force the water out. That's so sick.

• 48:40Speaker 04

  And, uh, yeah, blue whales will do thirty-five thousand pounds of filter feeding a day.

• 48:46Speaker 07

  A day?

• 48:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:47Speaker 07

  I thought you were gonna say a year.

• 48:48Speaker 04

  During feeding season.

• 48:49Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 48:50Speaker 04

  Crazy the ocean has that much.

• 48:52Speaker 05

  It's always feeding season for me.

• 48:53Speaker 04

  All right, Phil, one more scoreboard update before we do question ten.

• 48:56Speaker 05

  And I never thought about having a feeding season. That's weird.

• 48:59Speaker 04

  Breeding season, feeding season.

• 49:02Speaker 09

  I have two points?

• 49:02Speaker 04

  Migration.

• 49:04Speaker 08

  John has one point. Maggie has two points. Logan and Max also have two points. Should have lumped them all together. Nate's got four, and Brody has, uh, over-doubled the second-place player's score with nine in a big game.

• 49:19Speaker 07

  What if I pass along my winnings from Brody to the third place?

• 49:24Speaker 04

  No, no, no, I make the rules here, son.

• 49:28Speaker 04

  All right, here's the correct answer review so far. One was alderwood, two mossberg five hundred, three collared dove, four, uh, hand is how you measure a horse, five is sheep's head, six Mitch Rumpala, seven Pacific Ocean, eight Mickey Mouse boots, nine baleen. Here is question ten. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Clay Smith.

• 49:57Speaker 04

  According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents? Four. Not looking for one, two, or three.

• 50:07Speaker 07

  I knew it.

• 50:08Speaker 04

  I am looking for number four. Oh my god. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents?

• 50:18Speaker 07

  You're you're wild for this one, Spencer.

• 50:20Speaker 04

  And if. This may be the dumbest question you have ever asked. I think it's a great question. As soon as you start thinking about it, I think you'll you'll arrive.

• 50:29Speaker 07

  Brody, have you tried thinking about it?

• 50:30Speaker 04

  The right answer, Brody, yeah. And if Brody can get this one right, we will double today's donation to a thousand dollars for some lucky conservation group that Nate is going to pick.

• 50:43Speaker 07

  Oh, shoot.

• 50:44Speaker 04

  Thousand dollars, Nate.

• 50:47Speaker 04

  According to 2023 data, what month has not one, not two, not three, the fourth most boating accidents?

• 50:55Speaker 07

  How conservation-y does it need? Can it be like conservation adjacent?

• 51:00Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 51:01Speaker 07

  Okay.

• 51:01Speaker 04

  Yeah. Question, your question or your answer?

• 51:04Speaker 07

  My, no, my donation.

• 51:06Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents?

• 51:13Speaker 05

  I'm gonna donate to TSS.com.

• 51:16Speaker 07

  Hey.

• 51:17Speaker 05

  The TSS.

• 51:18Speaker 07

  Dude, you know what I'm, no, I can't show you because my answer's on there. No tungsten in that turkey I shot.

• 51:25Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 51:25Speaker 06

  Brody, you like your answer? No, I mean, I used some form of logic to get there, but.

• 51:32Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 51:33Speaker 07

  It's just like which which holiday does do people get more drunk during? That's the question. No, the fourth most.

• 51:40Speaker 06

  No, but yeah.

• 51:42Speaker 04

  He's done his proper rankings and he's arrived at what he believes to be number four. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents? Got a one in 12th chance here.

• 51:54Speaker 07

  I don't think it's December.

• 51:58Speaker 05

  You never know. Could be December in Texas or on the coast somewhere.

• 52:02Speaker 04

  I think this is one of my favorite questions we've done in a while. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says May. Logan, September. Marge, September.

• 52:14Speaker 05

  Nice.

• 52:14Speaker 04

  John, June. Maxwell, September. Brody, September. Number one is July. Number two is August. Number three is June. Number four is May.

• 52:30Speaker 09

  Sucker Brody did not get that one right. I got Nate down, damn it.

• 52:35Speaker 04

  So, Memorial Day, baby. Nate got that one right.

• 52:38Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 52:39Speaker 04

  It is May. July is when the most boating accidents take place with 936 reported in 2023. That's followed by August at 574, June at 561, May at 462, and September, fifth place, at 368. That's got a full 125 fewer. If I was asking that question, it would have been in order list the top three. The deadliest months are in the winter, though, which is when the highest percentage of boating accidents result in a fatality. In January, 29% of accidents had a death, which is about two and a half times higher than July at 12%.

• 53:19Speaker 05

  Those crazy duck hunters.

• 53:20Speaker 04

  It is those crazy.

• 53:22Speaker 05

  Going out when the weather's not good.

• 53:24Speaker 04

  All right, Brody is today's winner with nine points, but second place Nate, who got five correct answers, is going to choose where the $500 donation goes. Nate?

• 53:35Speaker 07

  Pick a good one. Um, we're gonna donate to the Station Foundation, which is a nonprofit that caters towards kinda like tier one military community.

• 53:43Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 53:44Speaker 07

  Um, and they just started a hunt track where they take super, they take like four tier one vets, maybe tier two. They take four vets and, um, they run them through the entire process of like never having killed anything in your life besides maybe a human to running around with guns or running around with bows and shooting a critter.

• 54:05Speaker 05

  What's the difference between tier one and tier two?

• 54:07Speaker 07

  Tier two would be like your Navy SEAL Ranger Regiment type guys. Tier one would be like, um, right.

• 54:15Speaker 07

  No, you don't. I don't know. That's a good question. Um, tier one would be like Ranger Reconnaissance SEAL Team Six.

• 54:21Speaker 04

  Yeah. What's the name of the place one more time?

• 54:23Speaker 07

  Uh, the Station Foundation Hunt Track.

• 54:26Speaker 15

  I think we've done a little.

• 54:27Speaker 07

  Yeah, they do phenomenal work. Um, it's, it's a really small group that they cater to. Um, but it has a huge impact on those guys and, uh, we'd love that they get a little more recognition.

• 54:37Speaker 04

  That's awesome. Worthy place to get our $500 donation today. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
