0:52 Speaker 02 Americans own 640 million acres of public land together. Right now, it's being torn up and privatized at the greatest rate in history. On Common Ground: An American Inheritance is a six-part documentary podcast about the immediate threats to America's public lands. It's the story of people refusing to let it happen quietly. Featured by Apple and a Signal Awards Gold Medal winner, listen to On Common Ground: An American Inheritance wherever you get your podcasts.
1:24 Steven Rinella? Timeout in the field is not free. Okay, every time you go 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 a 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.
2:13 Speaker 03 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 Randall, Corey, Nate, and Roman. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there's a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. Now, today is Randall v. Gibronis. That means it will be the big bad Randall up against Corey, Nate, and Roman. Randall, how do you feel about your chances?
2:48 Speaker 04 Oh, you know, I think, uh, I think we've got some strong competitors on the other side of the table. I think it really just comes down to, uh, if the questions bounce my way or not. So I'm curious to see how you've gamed this out.
2:59 Speaker 03 Okay, just a standard 10-pack of questions. Gibronis, do you think you can best Randall today? Oh, yeah. Like, I'm so supremely confident. Hmm. You're never lacking confidence, Nate. Nope, I've never been insulted in that way. Now, the first time we did this, uh, it was six Gibronis against Randall, and they overwhelmed him with a two-point victory. Yep. Uh, the second time we did this, it was three Gibronis against Brody, and Brody took a one-point victory with a correct answer on question 10. Uh, that day, it was Nate, Corey, and Tressa. So we've swapped out Tressa for Roman. Roman, what are you gonna bring to the team today?
3:40 Speaker 05 Oh, gosh. Let's go with, like, movies or music, something kinda cultural. None of that history.
3:47 Speaker 04 Yeah, Roman's a real well-rounded individual. So I, I, I'm curious to see what he adds to this mix.
3:54 Speaker 03 Now, here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia@meat eater dot, meat eater dot com with the subject line IFAQ. Joel Hill says, "Hey Spencer, are you worried about running out of trivia questions?" Uh, I used to be, Joel. I, I used to be, uh, fearful that this would only last like a year. Then I started pushing the boundaries on what- Meat eater trivia could be, and it would always make Brody and Steve angry. But I feel like I've created a big enough universe now where I can do music and some history and movies. That there are enough questions to get us a few more years. The other thing that gives me confidence that this show can can go on for a while are the listeners.
4:39 Speaker 03 Because you guys send in like 10 to 20 questions each day and some of them are very good and they make it on the show. So I think we have a long runway yet, Joel. But yes, I used to be worried. When I thought every question had to have the answer of 30 odd six Springfield. Or large mouth bass, everything needed to be hook and bullet. It felt like a different show, but we were not there anymore.
5:02 Speaker 04 And it's caused no small amount of consternation.
5:06 Speaker 03 Now they've just accepted it, I think. Brody will just quietly roll his eyes instead of outwardly be angry with me. All right, before we start, I want to reiterate how this will go. After I ask a question, Randall will write down his answer. Once Randall has his answer locked in, our jabronis will get a chance to come together and think out loud. Then their captain will write down an answer. So jabronis, we need you to decide who's the captain. Corey, Nate, or Roman?
5:36 Speaker 05 I'm voting with Roman.
5:37 Speaker 04 I vote Roman.
5:38 Speaker 03 Roman. Okay, last time we had Tressa as the captain. So they've got rid of their captain, Tressa.
5:43 Speaker 04 Cowards.
5:44 Speaker 03 For Captain Roman instead. If you're playing along at home, consider ganging up on Randall with whoever you're listening with because we would just like him to lose today.
5:53 Speaker 04 Or just do it the normal way.
5:54 Speaker 03 That's right.
5:55 Speaker 05 I just hope everybody has a good time.
5:58 Speaker 03 The Shelby index is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia.
6:05 Speaker 05 How exciting.
6:06 Speaker 03 Play the drop, Phil.
6:24 Speaker 06 Game on, suckers.
6:25 Speaker 03 Question one. The topic is wildlife. This first great question is via Maverick Ball, and as always, it will be multiple choice.
6:33 Speaker 05 Love that name.
6:34 Speaker 03 According to the Mountain Lion Foundation, which of these states does not have a breeding population of mountain lions? Is it Texas, Kansas, Florida, or North Dakota?
6:51 Speaker 03 According to the Mountain Lion Foundation, which of these states does not have a breeding population of mountain lions? Three of them do have a breeding population, one of them does not. Is it Texas, Kansas, Florida, or North Dakota?
7:06 Speaker 05 Oy, good question, Mr. Maverick.
7:09 Speaker 03 Maverick Ball.
7:10 Speaker 05 Mr. Ball.
7:11 Speaker 03 Randall still has a blank whiteboard. He also has an entire side of the podcast table to himself. Do you like that, Randall, or do you like to be shoulder to shoulder with folks?
7:20 Speaker 04 Um, I like, I like having my own side.
7:23 Speaker 03 Very roomy over there.
7:25 Speaker 04 Yeah, there's no danger in people looking over your shoulder. Gosh, this is a good question.
7:31 Speaker 03 Which of these states does not have a breeding population of mountain lions? Texas, Kansas, Florida, North Dakota?
7:41 Speaker 05 I presume this is like, not in captivity?
7:43 Speaker 03 Hmm, yeah, it does not count if it's in a zoo. Randall, do you have your answer?
7:48 Speaker 04 I do.
7:49 Speaker 03 Okay, Randall's answer is locked in. Corey, Nate, and Roman, you can think aloud about what the right answer might be.
7:57 Speaker 05 I feel supremely confident that it's not Texas. I don't know why, but I do. I feel pretty good that it's not Florida either. Okay, let's take that off. But I think Florida's the sleeper one, but it's never a trick question. They have Black Panthers, which is... Hmm, that's what I'm thinking of. I don't think so. I think it's just a cat. Yeah, I think that's a myth. I kind of lean towards North Dakota myself. Oh. See, I want to say Kansas, but because North Dakota has elk. Lions love to eat elk. But that's not a good reason whatsoever.
8:28 Speaker 04 They also love to eat deer.
8:30 Speaker 05 Kansas is as flat as a pancake. It and lions love mountains, rocks.
8:34 Speaker 04 It's in the name.
8:35 Speaker 05 Cliffs. So I don't know.
8:37 Speaker 03 I'm very entertained by all of this.
8:39 Speaker 04 It's good banter.
8:40 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah.
8:41 Speaker 04 I'm I'm on Cory. I'm on team Cory.
8:43 Speaker 05 I feel like.
8:43 Speaker 04 You could override us.
8:44 Speaker 05 Yeah, oh, you are captain.
8:46 Speaker 04 Cowards. Roman, they only made you the captains they could throw you under the bus. Why do you think trust is not here? We mutiny.
8:55 Speaker 05 I want to start this strong, Jets.
8:57 Speaker 03 So we have Cory saying it's what?
8:59 Speaker 05 I believe it's Kansas.
9:00 Speaker 03 And Nate?
9:01 Speaker 04 I'm with him. I'm with him.
9:01 Speaker 03 And Roman, what do you think it is, Roman?
9:04 Speaker 05 You see, I'm trying to leverage my job and the weird stuff people send me.
9:08 Speaker 03 Okay, Roman reads every email that you guys send him. So when you send him
9:13 Speaker 05 Yeah.
9:13 Speaker 03 a trail cam photo of a little baby mountain lion cub, he knows right where that came from.
9:19 Speaker 05 I feel like of these states, I've gotten the coolest cat photos from Texas.
9:22 Speaker 03 Oh.
9:25 Speaker 05 But I I'll go with my team on this one.
9:26 Speaker 03 Gibronies, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Gibronies saying Kansas. And Randall says Kansas.
9:34 Speaker 05 Hot dog.
9:35 Speaker 03 The correct answer is Kansas.
9:38 Speaker 04 Let's go. Nice.
9:39 Speaker 03 Hmm. Guys did well. According to the Mountain Lion Foundation, sixteen states have breeding populations of cougars. Earlier this year, officials in Oklahoma confirmed that mountain lion cubs were spotted in Osage County, so they are now state seventeen. Kansas has had over one hundred confirmed sightings since two thousand and seven, but says they have no evidence that the big cats are breeding there.
10:03 Speaker 05 Hmm.
10:04 Speaker 04 Fascinating.
10:05 Speaker 03 Question two, the topic is wildlife. This nine-letter word is defined as, quote, "A bird that is ready to leave the nest, but not yet capable of fully flying."
10:19 Speaker 03 We have Randall, Corey, and Nate, and Roman, all writing down an answer. Randall, do you have your nine-letter word?
10:28 Speaker 04 I think so.
10:29 Speaker 03 This nine-letter word is defined as a bird that is ready to leave the nest, but not yet capable of flying. Okay, Randall has his answer locked in. Jabronies, what do you think it is?
10:40 Speaker 04 See, now we're telling jokes over there and Phil's in on it. I love being a part of the crew.
10:46 Speaker 03 Randall's answer is locked in, so tell us what you're thinking here, Jabronies.
10:49 Speaker 05 We're on the same page. We're just thinking of telling you the answer.
10:52 Speaker 03 What's the Star Wars answer?
10:54 Speaker 05 Well, one of us might have written down younglings. Not to be confused with the Yingling beer, which...
11:01 Speaker 04 That's a good beer.
11:02 Speaker 05 It is.
11:02 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
11:04 Speaker 04 I know.
11:05 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Jabronies saying fledgling, and Randall says hatchling.
11:12 Speaker 04 Oh, come on.
11:13 Speaker 05 What?
11:14 Speaker 03 The correct answer is fledgling.
11:16 Speaker 04 Oh, no!
11:17 Speaker 03 Our Jabronies.
11:18 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
11:19 Speaker 03 Take a one-point lead.
11:20 Speaker 05 Dude, Randall, he's so off his game for that.
11:22 Speaker 03 A fledgling is one step beyond a nestling, which is a bird that's too young to leave the nest. A fledgling is usually capable of walking, hopping, and brief flight. This stage varies by species, but for most songbirds, it occurs around three weeks of age and lasts for about 10 days.
11:40 Speaker 05 My dog was chasing a bunch of ducks around in a lake last week. That couldn't really fly, but they could kind of fly.
11:47 Speaker 03 That sounds like a fledgling to me.
11:48 Speaker 05 Does that count?
11:49 Speaker 03 Now, a hatchling, I think, would be even younger than that. That would, I think, be in the same category
11:54 Speaker 05 Clearly.
11:55 Speaker 03 as a nestling.
11:56 Speaker 05 Just after the hatching.
11:57 Speaker 03 That's right.
11:59 Speaker 05 How did Chip do? Did he get one? No, but dude, he's so funny. He'll just go swim. Like, he'll just go in the water and just swim for an hour. No, no direction, just swimming. He's a good boy.
12:10 Speaker 03 I hear these terms thrown around in business a little bit. So Nate, working at FHF on the sewing machine, are you a nestling? A fledgling? Or are you just like a full adult?
12:19 Speaker 05 Dude, I would ask Randall that question today.
12:23 Speaker 03 Why's that?
12:24 Speaker 05 Because I've sewed him up a super sweet little deal.
12:27 Speaker 03 Okay.
12:27 Speaker 04 Getting some custom work done.
12:29 Speaker 03 Nate over here, is he a nestling, who's just like a little baby bird, or is he a fledgling?
12:33 Speaker 04 I think Paul's letting him stretch his wings.
12:36 Speaker 03 Okay.
12:36 Speaker 05 Not out of the nest yet.
12:37 Speaker 03 Can't quite fly.
12:38 Speaker 04 I think Paul's still feeding him by vomiting into his mouth, but, uh, but I think he's doing pretty good.
12:44 Speaker 05 He did help me a lot.
12:45 Speaker 03 Okay, good. Question three, the topic is fishing.
12:50 Speaker 04 Bird question.
12:50 Speaker 03 This next great question is via Brandon Heatbridge.
12:55 Speaker 05 Lots of good names.
12:56 Speaker 03 This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing club.
13:04 Speaker 05 This is you, Roman. This is why you're here. I was hoping you were the sports guy of our crew.
13:08 Speaker 04 The ducks.
13:09 Speaker 03 This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing.
13:17 Speaker 05 Trying to think of all the Chargers.
13:18 Speaker 03 Randall, do you have your answer locked in?
13:20 Speaker 05 I do.
13:20 Speaker 03 Okay, this guy was an Oregon duck and a Charger.
13:23 Speaker 05 One of the Bosa brothers, both Boses went to Ohio State, so it's not him. Uh, who's their?
13:29 Speaker 04 The Ohio State.
13:31 Speaker 05 Oh, my gosh.
13:32 Speaker 03 Um, jabronis, it seems like Randall has this one right.
13:35 Speaker 05 Who's their, who's their quarterback? He didn't go to Oregon. Uh, Justin Herbert.
13:43 Speaker 05 He didn't go to Oregon, did he?
13:44 Speaker 04 He looks like a duck hunter, though.
13:46 Speaker 05 He looks like a dude to be fun to hang out with.
13:48 Speaker 03 Corey, do you follow the NFL?
13:50 Speaker 05 A little.
13:51 Speaker 03 Roman, do you follow the NFL?
13:52 Speaker 05 Eckler isn't on there anymore. Who's up to me, I'd go with the most standard American name. Dude, I bet he's like a lineman. I don't know any of the, I don't know any of the.
13:59 Speaker 03 This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing.
14:05 Speaker 05 Was it Mark, was it Marcus Mariota? He's not on the Chargers anymore. He's, I don't think he's even playing anymore. Well, he was a duck, though, right? Yeah, he was. He's good. See? Look at you, sports ball. Hey, you got a duck on your shirt. Oh, quack.
14:19 Speaker 04 Now they're just ridiculing the idea of sports.
14:21 Speaker 05 Chargers.
14:22 Speaker 04 As they, as they flop about. Sports ball, sports ball.
14:28 Speaker 05 I love the NFL. I'm so excited for the season.
14:30 Speaker 04 So am I.
14:31 Speaker 03 Okay, jabronis, we're gonna need you to come up.
14:34 Speaker 05 Like, Justin Herbert's like the only Charger I can think of, and I don't think he went to. Yeah. Hard to say. Herbert.
14:41 Speaker 03 Captain Roman is writing down their answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabronis and Randall saying Justin Herbert. They got it.
14:51 Speaker 05 Let's go.
14:53 Speaker 03 The correct answer is Justin Herbert.
14:55 Speaker 05 He does look like a duck hunter, or what is he? A fisher.
14:58 Speaker 03 Fisherman. Herbert co-founded the Irish Fishing Club in 2014 and it got so popular that it grew to 80 members in the first year. The club is still around today, serving high schoolers in Eugene, Oregon and beyond. Here is a picture of Herbert as a teen proudly holding a carp.
15:16 Speaker 05 Yeah, you're right. You're right, Nate. He does look like he'd be fun to hang out with.
15:19 Speaker 03 Yeah.
15:21 Speaker 05 I had him on my fantasy team two years ago. He was, three years ago, had a great year.
15:25 Speaker 03 Got him, Phil. Got him. Good on you, Nate, for figuring out who that Oregon duck in Los Angeles Charger was. Question four, the topic is conservation. The National Park Service says this program is, quote, "A way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park." Randall, very quick to come up with his answer. Randall, is your answer locked in?
15:51 Speaker 05 Yes.
15:51 Speaker 03 Okay, Randall's answer is locked in. That means it is up to our jabronis. The National Park Service says this program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.
16:05 Speaker 05 Is it like a Boy Scouts thing or Little Smokies? That's a, that's a small sausage. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We avoid the national parks though. Oh, come on. Talking like Steve there.
16:20 Speaker 03 The National Park Service says this program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.
16:28 Speaker 05 Is it like Little Rangers? Oh wait, what's that little like, uh, the little like, uh, cute, like you have to find a, there's like a scavenger hunt in parks.
16:37 Speaker 03 Hmm.
16:37 Speaker 05 You know what I'm talking about?
16:38 Speaker 03 Mm-mm.
16:39 Speaker 05 No? Pokemon Go? I thought about that.
16:44 Speaker 03 The National Park Service says this program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.
16:51 Speaker 05 It's obviously very easy. Randall wrote it down. Yeah, why did he know that so quickly? We got the other one easily too. Dude, I'm telling you, it's like the little QR code deal or like, it's like a scavenger hunt. Yeah, write down QR code. Pokemon Go was an answer, dude. Oh, it's like, uh...
17:04 Speaker 04 Little Rangers or Little?
17:09 Speaker 04 Dude, scavenger hunts as far as I'm getting. Oh. Get Marshall in here, he'd know. Yeah, he would know.
17:15 Speaker 03 His dad doesn't take him to the parks, though.
17:18 Speaker 04 I've been to some national monuments, so I feel like maybe we've done this, but what the heck is it called?
17:22 Speaker 03 Hmm.
17:24 Speaker 04 Little Ra- I think, like, Little Rangers is all I could come up with.
17:27 Speaker 05 That's better than nothing.
17:28 Speaker 04 Yeah.
17:30 Speaker 04 Sure, we don't go QR code?
17:31 Speaker 03 Or Power, Power Rangers?
17:34 Speaker 04 Little Rangers, Young Rangers, Youth Rangers.
17:37 Speaker 05 Yeah, let's go to that.
17:38 Speaker 04 Let's see what that, why not?
17:40 Speaker 03 All right, reveal your answers. We have Jabroni saying Little Rangers, Randall says Junior Rangers. Randall got it!
17:48 Speaker 04 That's it!
17:49 Speaker 03 The correct answer is the Junior Ranger Program. Examples of activities from the Junior Ranger Program include writing a poem about a fossil, learning indigenous names for plants, or doing an animal-themed crossword. Upon completing a task, you're awarded with a Junior Ranger badge. There's no age limit on the program, of which there are 200 participating locations in the park service. So Nate, you danced around the answer, you had all the details, uh, but you didn't have Junior Ranger.
18:21 Speaker 04 Dang.
18:21 Speaker 03 You could participate, though, Nate. They let any age group come in and do it.
18:25 Speaker 04 I mean, it sounds like you've got a couple of the badges down.
18:27 Speaker 03 No, I wish I did.
18:28 Speaker 04 You haven't written a poem about a fossil?
18:31 Speaker 03 Um, not at a park service, I don't think, no. I, I wish I would have been, uh, participating in this as a kid, though. I would love to have like 100 Junior Ranger programs.
18:41 Speaker 04 Wait, so each park has a different badge?
18:43 Speaker 03 Yes.
18:44 Speaker 04 Oh.
18:44 Speaker 03 And I, I, some parks, some parks may have multiple badges, don't quote me on that, um, but they're, they're very popular, national monuments have them as well, national historic sites. Randall, do you have any Junior Ranger badges?
18:56 Speaker 04 Nope. Answer that really quickly. I just, I just knew, knew of this program, just through general encounters with the world around me.
19:06 Speaker 03 Question five, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Jason Moats. This gunmaker, who's famous for lever actions, uses the slogan, quote, "Made in America, or not made at all."
19:19 Speaker 04 Hmm.
19:24 Speaker 03 Randall, quick to answer, but now he is erasing. Nate wrote down an answer as well.
19:29 Speaker 05 Ooh. I don't know. Ooh.
19:32 Speaker 03 But he and Corey might have to duke it out. After Randall has locked in his answer.
19:37 Speaker 05 Now I don't know.
19:39 Speaker 03 This gunmaker, who's famous for lever actions, uses the slogan "Made in America or not made at all." Randall, is your answer locked in?
19:48 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
19:48 Speaker 03 Alright, jabronis. Let's hear you argue.
19:50 Speaker 05 I let's go with that. No, dude, I'd like, I have Marlin, for the listeners. I put Henry.
19:57 Speaker 03 And we now have Nate and Corey arguing with each other that the other one's answer is right.
20:03 Speaker 04 But Roman is the team captain.
20:06 Speaker 05 You might need to be the tiebreaker. Captain, oh captain. You guys both have older names than I was thinking of. What were you thinking? Oh, I was just thinking Remington for some reason. I don't think they're known for.
20:15 Speaker 04 No, I would've gone with Winchester if we were talking about the old standards.
20:18 Speaker 03 This gunmaker, who's famous for lever actions, uses the slogan "Made in America or not made at all." Nate thinks it's Marlin, Corey thinks it's Henry, but they've convinced each other that those are wrong and the other one has it right. So they're in a real pretzel here.
20:34 Speaker 05 It is a pretzel. That is a pretzel. Hmm. Yeah, I mean, are either of these made in America anymore? Well, Marlin just got bought by somebody. Hmm. In America? I think so. Dude, ah. Current events. I'm embarrassing myself.
20:49 Speaker 03 Randall, what percent chance do you have this one right?
20:52 Speaker 05 Uh, I don't know. Ninety-five?
20:57 Speaker 03 Ninety-five percent chance.
20:58 Speaker 05 I feel pretty good. I like Marlin better than Henry. I do too. Okay. Are you cool with that? Yeah. They both seem historical to me. We need some cheese for this pretzel. Hmm. Dear cheese.
21:09 Speaker 03 Captain Roman, writing down their answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabroni saying Marlin, Randall saying Henry.
21:18 Speaker 03 The correct answer is Henry. Randall got it right.
21:23 Speaker 04 Yep, yep.
21:25 Speaker 03 Despite the name, Henry Repeating Arms is not affiliated with the original Henry Rifle that was patented in 1860. The company was created in 1996 by founders who have no relation to Benjamin Tyler Henry. Today, they employ 800 people across three factories in Wisconsin and New Jersey. Randall, have you ever owned a Henry Rifle?
21:47 Speaker 04 No, I haven't. What tipped me off, though, was that they often do, uh, like commemorative releases that are patriotic.
21:54 Speaker 03 Mmm.
21:55 Speaker 04 And also, I've owned Marlins and I've paid attention to that brand more than I have to Henry and I've never, I didn't think of this as a Marlin slogan.
22:05 Speaker 03 Good on you for finding the right answer.
22:07 Speaker 04 It's a little more understated, I think.
22:09 Speaker 03 All right, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Phil, give us a scoreboard update.
22:14 Speaker 05 Uh, well, once labeled flopping and flustered by his opponents at the top of the game, Randall has pulled ahead at halftime. He has four points. The jabronis have three.
22:23 Speaker 04 Yeah, the last question, I was kinda cool, calm, and collected, right? Remember that?
22:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, very cool, calm.
22:29 Speaker 04 And then these guys were arguing with each other.
22:31 Speaker 03 I do remember.
22:34 Steven Rinella? If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you got dogs, you got kids, you know how hard it is to keep the floor of your rig clean. A thing we do in our, in our little fleet of vehicles that have in my household, if you go look, open the door on any one of them, they all got WeatherTech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in WeatherTech. That way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being good as new. I'm telling you, if you got a vehicle, put WeatherTech in there, you're gonna be happy you did it. And check this out, American-made floor liners and cargo liners, okay? They laugh in the face of all weather. Go take a look for yourself today at weathertech.com.

25:42 Speaker 03 Question six, the topic is mountain men. What 2000
25:49 Speaker 03 What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie The Revenant based on?
25:56 Speaker 03 Again, we're on question six. What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie The Revenant based on? Randall, is your answer locked in?
26:05 Speaker 05 Pretty sure.
26:06 Speaker 03 Okay.
26:07 Speaker 05 I know the person.
26:08 Speaker 03 Has his whiteboard down. So it's up to our jabronis now.
26:15 Speaker 07 I'm with you, Nate. I know the name.
26:17 Speaker 05 Two Glass.
26:19 Speaker 07 It's not called The Revenant, obviously.
26:21 Speaker 03 What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie The Revenant based on?
26:25 Speaker 04 I'm trying to think of the Michael Punk book about the Butte Mine Disaster. That's a good one.
26:30 Speaker 05 Ridgeline?
26:31 Speaker 03 No, Ridgeline is about the Fetterman. Um, the Butte Mine Disaster, what is it called? Did you see he's got a big banner on Main Street this week?
26:39 Speaker 05 Oh, no, he's the convocation speaker at MSU.
26:42 Speaker 03 And they're supposed to read the Butte Mining Disaster book for that event.
26:46 Speaker 04 Yeah, that was, uh, that was one of the required readings in, uh, the intro of Montana History Class at U of M.
26:54 Speaker 03 Again, we're on question six. The topic is mountain men. What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie The Revenant?
27:01 Speaker 05 Is it Donson Courage?
27:02 Speaker 07 No, that's Lewis.
27:03 Speaker 05 Lewis and Clark.
27:05 Speaker 04 God, I just. Well, it's Steven Ambrose.
27:07 Speaker 07 I read this last archery season, which was very freaky while I'm sitting in a, under a tarp in bear country. God, and I swear the cover just said The Revenant on it.
27:16 Speaker 05 It's not like the tale or the adventure, the story. No, no.
27:24 Speaker 03 Our jabronis are losing confidence.
27:26 Speaker 05 God, what is the name of that book? This is all you. I don't know, dude. Sure, don't put it on me.
27:33 Speaker 05 Only watched the movie. The Revenge?
27:38 Speaker 03 Fire and Brimstone.
27:39 Speaker 05 That's great.
27:40 Speaker 03 The North Butte mining disaster of nineteen seventy.
27:43 Speaker 05 An incredible story.
27:45 Speaker 03 Yeah, if you live in this part of the world and you like meteor stuff, you're gonna like anything Michael Punk.
27:50 Speaker 05 Yeah.
27:50 Speaker 03 Has written. Alright, Gibronis. What do we got? Three blank whiteboards.
27:55 Speaker 05 I got nothing. I got nothing.
27:56 Speaker 03 Three stressed out fellas.
27:59 Speaker 05 Just. Write whatever you want.
28:02 Speaker 03 Just write what, write down, uh, whatever you want.
28:05 Speaker 05 We're just living. Undaunted courage. Oh, yeah. Not undaunted courage. Brutal. Junior Rangers. Almost heroes.
28:12 Speaker 03 What'd you guys say, Little Rangers?
28:14 Speaker 05 Little Rangers, Power Rangers.
28:16 Speaker 03 What two thousand two Michael Punk book is the movie The Revenant based on? Gibronis?
28:22 Speaker 05 Got nothing. I don't know.
28:23 Speaker 03 No answer?
28:24 Speaker 05 Just write down the Revenant then. Can't hurt. Just run it blank.
28:29 Speaker 05 But that can hurt.
28:31 Speaker 03 Randall's trying to help you guys. Are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Gibronis saying The Revenant and Randall saying The Revenant. That's correct. The book is called.
28:43 Speaker 05 You know what they say about blind squirrels?
28:45 Speaker 03 So Cory knew it all along.
28:47 Speaker 05 Alright, quit doing that. Hey, stop it.
28:50 Speaker 03 The word revenant means, quote, "One that returns after death or a long absence." Merriam-Webster says it was one of their most searched words in twenty sixteen, which is a year after the movie was released. The film was nominated for twelve Academy Awards and won the Oscar for Best Actor, Best Directing, and Best Cinematography.
29:11 Speaker 05 Thanks for writing something down.
29:12 Speaker 03 The Revenant.
29:13 Speaker 05 That's Leo's only Oscar. Only one. That would've been really interesting.
29:17 Speaker 03 Only, only ever or only for like, uh, best?
29:19 Speaker 04 No, it's his, it's his only win.
29:20 Speaker 05 That, that was a winning question in the last round of trivia at, uh, Molly Brown's.
29:25 Speaker 04 That's right.
29:26 Speaker 05 Couple of weeks ago. Was that the movie they only use natural lighting? Is that a real thing?
29:29 Speaker 03 Um, they did a lot of natural lighting, like you watch and you can really appreciate that, uh, yeah, they're not, not a bunch of fakers.
29:36 Speaker 05 And that horse scene was real, right? Like, he actually slept in that thing?
29:40 Speaker 03 Oh, eats like the heart.
29:41 Speaker 05 No, he like, drives a horse off a cliff and then guts in, sleeps in it.
29:46 Speaker 03 I think the real, the realest part of that was he was biting into an organ, like, for the first time. What was the organ he ate? Heart? Is it a liver?
29:53 Speaker 05 I, well, I think liver.
29:54 Speaker 04 Sounds right, but I don't remember.
29:55 Speaker 05 I don't recall. Yeah. Biting into a liver would make you make a weird face. I thought I heard the fact that he's like entered a that's what I thought. cavity of an animal. I'm pretty sure that was.
30:04 Speaker 03 Good thing Corey talked you guys into writing down the revenant. Question seven, the topic is conservation.
30:11 Speaker 05 I'm flustered.
30:12 Speaker 03 This river provides drinking water for one in 10 Americans, including those in Phoenix and San Diego.
30:23 Speaker 03 Again, we're on question seven. The topic is conservation. Randall, is your answer locked in?
30:27 Speaker 05 Yes.
30:28 Speaker 03 Huh? This river provides drinking water for one in 10 Americans.
30:33 Speaker 05 Right.
30:33 Speaker 03 Including those in Phoenix and San Diego. Gibronis, what are you thinking?
30:38 Speaker 05 It's gotta be. I'm thinking Colorado because Cal was just talking about how it future a lot of people drink it. And if we build a bunch of stupid stuff. I concur. Hmm. Well, San Diego is real far from there. From Colorado? Yep. But is it far from the Colorado River? I don't know. Is it?
30:58 Speaker 04 I don't know.
30:58 Speaker 05 Not that far. Dude, I I would get 20% more questions right if I just studied our hydrology. Hydrography? Hydrology? Yeah. It's like Bozeman getting its water from Canyon Ferry. Hmm. Is that how that works? I think it's Highlight Reservoir. People are talking about Canyon Ferry though.
31:15 Speaker 04 Oh, they're talking about building a pipeline down because we're gonna have
31:18 Speaker 05 Oh.
31:18 Speaker 04 too many people in this valley.
31:20 Speaker 03 Again, this river provides drinking water for one in 10 Americans, including those in Phoenix and San Diego. Nate thinks he's heard this on Cal of the Wild.
31:31 Speaker 05 That's my guess, too. It's very. That's my guess.
31:33 Speaker 03 Is that your answer, Gibronis? All right, reveal your answers to Gibronis say Colorado River. Randall has the same answer. They got it. The correct answer is the Colorado River. The Colorado River is also responsible for watering 90% of America's winter vegetables. AmericanRivers.org says this high demand has the Colorado at its breaking point, which poses a threat not only for the environment, but also the nation's economy. Question eight, the topic is hunting.
32:02 Speaker 05 Let's go.
32:03 Speaker 03 Travis Turner from Bone Collector is better known by this nickname.
32:07 Speaker 05 Oh, easy. Oh, good. Cause you watch TV.
32:11 Speaker 03 Randall does not have an answer.
32:14 Speaker 05 Oh dude.
32:14 Speaker 03 And Nate.
32:15 Speaker 05 Wait, what?
32:16 Speaker 03 Knows it. Travis Turner from Bone Collector is better known by this nickname.
32:22 Speaker 05 Yeah, I like that. That's a good answer.
32:25 Speaker 04 Flustered.
32:27 Speaker 05 Man.
32:27 Speaker 04 Not flustered because.
32:28 Speaker 03 Tables have been turned.
32:30 Speaker 04 This isn't something I would know. Nor is it something that I would particularly want.
32:34 Speaker 05 I don't know why I know this. I like.
32:36 Speaker 04 Oh, you know, I do know why I know this.
32:37 Speaker 05 Okay, that's wait, give it a second.
32:40 Speaker 03 Gibronies are aesthetic.
32:44 Speaker 03 Randall, do you have your answer?
32:45 Speaker 05 I do.
32:46 Speaker 03 Gibronies, do you have your answer?
32:48 Speaker 05 Feel good about it?
32:48 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Gibronies saying T-Bone and Randall said Skeletor.
32:56 Speaker 04 Opposite of Skeletor. Very opposite.
33:02 Speaker 03 The correct answer is T-Bone.
33:04 Speaker 04 Yeah, there we go.
33:05 Speaker 03 Travis T-Bone Turner.
33:07 Speaker 05 T-Bone.
33:08 Speaker 03 T-Bone was an archery whiz long before he joined Bone Collector. He won the Georgia State Archery Championship in 1990 and the Archery Shooters Association World Championship in 1991. Then in 1994, he opened his bow shop, Archery Unlimited. It wasn't until later when he got the nickname T-Bone while shooting a comedic hunting show with Jeff Foxworthy. Nate, why do you know Travis T-Bone Turner? You just watch a lot of Bone Collector?
33:36 Speaker 05 No, I don't watch any Bone Collector. Um, I know they're in Georgia and that's about it. And I know there's a big dude named T-Bone on it. But that's because a guy, when I was doing an army school, a guy in my squad was like best friends with the bone collectors. Who's the main guy?
33:52 Speaker 03 Michael Waddell.
33:53 Speaker 05 His son. He was like best friends with this dude in my squad and all he would talk about when we were hanging out is Bone Collector. How many big bucks he's gonna shoot.
34:01 Speaker 03 Send him a thank you after this.
34:02 Speaker 05 I might dude, I gotta think of his name.
34:04 Speaker 03 Travis T-Bone Turner. And yeah, Randall, he would be the opposite of Skeletor.
34:10 Speaker 04 I don't know why I just was thinking Skeletor.
34:13 Speaker 03 We have two questions left.
34:15 Speaker 05 Probably the bones. The bones, they're their money.
34:17 Speaker 03 Show us the leaderboards.
34:19 Speaker 05 Don't eat meat. That was the night the skeletons came to life. Hello. With two questions left, it is all tied up. Randall has six points, as do the jabronis.
34:27 Speaker 03 All right.
34:28 Speaker 05 Come on.
34:29 Speaker 03 Question nine. The topic is foraging. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Nathan Dotson. For sending this great question, Nathan 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 trivia at the meat eater dot com. This foraged item was at the center of US Fish and Wildlife Investigations called, quote, "The Root of All Evil" and "Operation Root Cause."
34:56 Speaker 05 Hmm.
34:58 Speaker 03 These were two different investigations. This foraged item was at the center of US Fish and Wildlife Investigations called "The Root of All Evil" and "Operation Root Cause."
35:10 Speaker 05 Hmm.
35:13 Speaker 03 All four players are stumped.
35:16 Speaker 05 Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
35:19 Speaker 03 This foraged item was at the center of US Fish and Wildlife Investigations called "The Root of All Evil" and "Operation Root Cause." Randall, is your answer locked in?
35:30 Speaker 04 It is.
35:30 Speaker 03 All right, jabronis, tell us what you think it could be.
35:33 Speaker 05 It's on the tip of my tongue. Isn't there like a root in like Virginia, West Virginia, that people are illegally
35:42 Speaker 05 foraging and selling in the black market?
35:46 Speaker 04 Well, that would be in the question, basically. Yeah.
35:50 Speaker 05 And I wonder if that's what it is.
35:52 Speaker 04 Yeah, the root that the root that is being investigated.
35:55 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah.
35:56 Speaker 04 By law enforcement.
35:57 Speaker 05 It's a big deal in the east.
35:59 Speaker 04 I honestly have never heard of it. I was so upset of this category. Continue. I didn't mean to interrupt you.
36:05 Speaker 03 Of US Fish and Wildlife Investigations called "The Root of All Evil" and "Operation Root Cause." Randall, what, give me a percent confidence you have this right.
36:16 Speaker 04 I don't know, maybe seventy, seventy-five.
36:19 Speaker 03 Seventy-five.
36:20 Speaker 04 I just, um, I can picture a National Geographic article that I read about this. Um, but most of all, all I can think about is how I thought I was gonna lose this game on bone collector and mushrooms. And it was making me so mad. And so now I'm really enjoying seeing these guys squirm.
36:39 Speaker 03 Okay. Still only a 75% chance that he has it right and this is question nine.
36:45 Speaker 04 Well, I'm probably more confident than that, but if I don't have it right, I don't want to appear overconfident.
36:51 Speaker 03 Either way, whatever the result, we're going into question 10. It was a potential tiebreaker.
36:56 Speaker 04 Oh.
36:56 Speaker 05 I don't know, let's just figure out some roots.
36:58 Speaker 04 Well, yeah.
36:59 Speaker 05 Root beer.
37:00 Speaker 04 Name my few favorite roots.
37:01 Speaker 05 Ginger root.
37:03 Speaker 04 What are we gonna do, sit here and list roots?
37:04 Speaker 05 Yeah, maybe.
37:05 Speaker 04 When does this go on real TV? My grandma's asking.
37:07 Speaker 05 Probably on Wednesday.
37:08 Speaker 03 Uh, about a month from now.
37:10 Speaker 04 Oh.
37:12 Speaker 05 I feel like it starts with an S.
37:14 Speaker 03 It goes on YouTube though, a week from now. So YouTube first.
37:18 Speaker 05 My grandma's not real hot on YouTube. Sassafras? That root? Probably. That goes into root beer. Does it now? I think so. Doesn't that make sarsaparilla?
37:28 Speaker 04 I think you're right.
37:29 Speaker 05 Sassafras. And I mean, roots.
37:30 Speaker 04 Sarsaparilla, sassafras.
37:32 Speaker 05 Root of all evil root beer. Sasquatch. Yeah. Salmonella.
37:37 Speaker 04 It's gotta be illegal.
37:39 Speaker 05 Samsonite.
37:40 Speaker 03 This foraged item was at the center of US Fish and Wildlife Investigations called the Root of All Evil and Operation Root Cause. Gibronies.
37:48 Speaker 05 Maybe it's the cartels.
37:49 Speaker 03 Gibronies were going to need you. Like they've been doing. Come up with an answer.
37:52 Speaker 05 It's a weed. It's green.
37:55 Speaker 03 It's foraged.
37:56 Speaker 05 Yep. I'm saying marijuana. West Virginia.
38:01 Speaker 05 Sargum? No, that's molasses.
38:07 Speaker 03 Alright, Gibronies.
38:08 Speaker 05 I don't think it's sassafras, but it's better than nothing. I don't know, dude. What else is a root? Sassafras. That's an ingredient, like an herb. That's not.
38:17 Speaker 03 Captain, Captain Roman is writing down his answer.
38:21 Speaker 04 If it's not sassafras, you shouldn't write it down. Well, what is it then? I don't know, but I just wouldn't write down something that I knew was not.
38:26 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Gibronies saying sassafras and Randall saying ginseng.
38:33 Speaker 05 Ginseng.
38:34 Speaker 03 Randall got it. The correct answer is ginseng.
38:37 Speaker 05 Sangers. What's that all about?
38:41 Speaker 04 I think he'll tell us.
38:42 Speaker 03 Those investigations resulted in over 100 arrests between Ohio and Pennsylvania. Between 2012 and 2020, the roots of the native plant are so in demand because of their use in eastern medicine, prices vary but are typically hundreds of dollars per pound. The lead investigator from The Root of All Evil estimated that 90% of America's foraged and sold ginseng winds up in Hong Kong.
39:08 Speaker 04 I didn't know that was grown here.
39:10 Speaker 03 It's grown here, it's native to the place. And Corey was very close, he said ginger.
39:14 Speaker 04 Yeah.
39:15 Speaker 03 I thought, I thought that was going to lead you into.
39:17 Speaker 04 And he was in the right part of the country, too.
39:19 Speaker 03 Oh, I had it all figured out.
39:21 Speaker 04 Daniel Boone was a big sanger when he needs some extra cash.
39:25 Speaker 03 Now, here's a correct answer review so far. One was Kansas, two, fledgling, three, Justin Herbert, four, junior ranger program, five, Henry repeating arms, six, the revenant, seven, Colorado River, eight, T-bone, nine, ginseng. Bill, let's get a scoreboard update before question 10.
39:48 Speaker 05 Those are like the twist of the knife. With Randall at seven and the jabronis at six, we're either going into a tiebreaker or Randall is winning this outright after this question.
39:56 Speaker 03 Just gonna request no more mountain man type questions. Here's question 10, the topic is fishing.
40:02 Speaker 04 Hey.
40:03 Speaker 05 Oh, who could have guessed?
40:04 Speaker 04 Every time.
40:05 Speaker 03 This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper. Oh, God, east coast questions. Randall has a blank whiteboard. This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper.
40:26 Speaker 04 Not Joan of Arc.
40:28 Speaker 03 Hmm, all four players look stumped. Oh, man.
40:33 Speaker 05 What a tie between history and fishing.
40:35 Speaker 03 Rand, or excuse me, Nate, you've done some east coast living, right?
40:38 Speaker 04 Yo, but no east coast fishing.
40:40 Speaker 03 Hmm, then you weren't really living, were you?
40:43 Speaker 04 Nope, I was sucking it up.
40:45 Speaker 03 This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper. Randall just had a light bulb go off above his head. Damn it, we need one of those.
40:57 Speaker 05 We need one to knock, I need that to peter out.
41:01 Speaker 03 Randall, do you have this right now?
41:03 Speaker 04 Yes, I do.
41:04 Speaker 03 Okay. Sorry, jabronis. Just to make you feel better, though, maybe you could talk it out and get this one right.
41:10 Speaker 05 Yeah, sometimes that works.
41:12 Speaker 03 Instead, you could either lose by two or one today.
41:15 Speaker 04 Yeah, we lost by one to Brody, and I really don't want to give.
41:18 Speaker 03 On question ten.
41:19 Speaker 04 Yeah, I know, I'm tracking.
41:21 Speaker 05 I don't know of any types of herring. Pickled. Oh, pickled. Red. But I don't think there's many medieval tavern keepers named.
41:29 Speaker 03 This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper.
41:35 Speaker 05 Trying to think of medieval female tavern keeper.
41:38 Speaker 03 Randall, do you want to give them any hints, or do you just enjoy watching them really struggle?
41:41 Speaker 04 No, I was just gonna say, Phil, how you doing over there?
41:44 Speaker 05 I'm doing good.
41:45 Speaker 04 Cool.
41:45 Speaker 05 Yeah, the chair's pretty comfy.
41:47 Speaker 04 How are we running on time?
41:48 Speaker 05 You know, this is running pretty average, way shorter than Mark's episode.
41:51 Speaker 04 I'm feeling good now because I can finally drop the facade of being an angry instigator. I can finally put that character aside and just spend time with my friends, doing what I love to do.
42:05 Speaker 03 Nate's grandma wanted to know when this would be.
42:07 Speaker 04 I'm not telling her.
42:08 Speaker 03 Cable TV.
42:09 Speaker 04 She's not allowed to watch.
42:10 Speaker 03 And this will be Randall's first victory on the Outdoor Channel. So, good on you, Rand.
42:15 Speaker 04 Yeah, I've been on a real, real losing streak lately.
42:18 Speaker 03 People new to this show will be like, what's that guy's deal? Is he any good at this thing?
42:22 Speaker 04 I know, and it's been really sad and embarrassing. But, you know, the folks out there kept the faith. I still get the occasional request for a donation. They've slowed down considerably since I started losing.
42:35 Speaker 05 How often do you think about that? Just the slower pace of requests?
42:39 Speaker 04 Um, to be honest, right now, my social's just blowing up, so it's not a biggie.
42:44 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, you just move one thing out and something else moves in.
42:49 Speaker 03 All right, jabronis, do you give up on the herring that's native to the east coast?
42:53 Speaker 04 We gotta come up with something.
42:54 Speaker 03 And named after a medieval female tavern keeper.
42:57 Speaker 05 Atlantic? Tavern keep, dude, that's not medieval.
43:02 Speaker 04 I mean, you said Joan of Arc.
43:04 Speaker 05 Yeah, there you go.
43:07 Speaker 05 She didn't keep a tavern. She got burned at the stake.
43:11 Speaker 04 A woman in medieval times. That's pretty much it.
43:15 Speaker 03 Chabronis? Do you give up?
43:17 Speaker 04 No, give me like thirty more seconds.
43:19 Speaker 03 Okay.
43:20 Speaker 05 It's all you, bud.
43:20 Speaker 03 Thirty more seconds. For Grandma Nate to watch him sit there stressed out.
43:26 Speaker 04 She's not gonna send me any fudge this year, dude.
43:28 Speaker 03 She makes it herself?
43:29 Speaker 04 Oh, she does. It's so good.
43:30 Speaker 05 Randall's gonna get some of that fudge, though.
43:32 Speaker 04 She will send it. She'll adopt you. I don't want that loser.
43:36 Speaker 03 This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female.
43:42 Speaker 05 Jennifer. It's my dream to open like a, like a tiki bar style restaurant, but have it be medieval tavern. Mmm, that'd be cool.
43:49 Speaker 04 It's not, you're not talking about medieval times?
43:52 Speaker 05 No, it would be like, just like a super elevated.
43:54 Speaker 04 Oh, without the spectacle?
43:56 Speaker 05 Yeah, without, no, yeah.
43:57 Speaker 04 Just like a little bit of pageantry, but no actual combat.
44:00 Speaker 05 But going tenfold into production design and vibes.
44:03 Speaker 04 I couldn't believe how much.
44:04 Speaker 05 And good food. I, I actually.
44:06 Speaker 04 How much food they served us at medieval times when I went recently.
44:08 Speaker 03 Really? I feel like that'd be what you'd expect to walk in there and get like a whole turkey leg.
44:12 Speaker 04 It was a whole, I, I want to say it was a chicken.
44:15 Speaker 03 Mmm.
44:15 Speaker 05 Was, was this in Buena Park, California?
44:17 Speaker 04 No, this was, uh, in Tucson.
44:19 Speaker 05 Hmm.
44:20 Speaker 04 Is this real history or is this fake history?
44:23 Speaker 03 Chabronis, I think you just give up.
44:24 Speaker 04 Dude, write like Genevieve or something. Come on, guys.
44:26 Speaker 05 Ooh, Genevieve, that's good. Oh.
44:28 Speaker 03 All right, reveal your answers. Chabronis did not get it right. Randall says ale wife. He got it. The correct answer is ale wife. The ale wife got its name from colonists in the sixteen thirties. According to them, these river herrings had a paunchy belly that resembled those of chubby ale wives in England. In some parts of the continent, the name has been corrupted to eel wife, with origin saying the herring is the wife of river eels. All right, Randall, two point victory today. He gets eight correct answers.
45:01 Speaker 04 Thanks, Phil. You're welcome.
45:02 Speaker 03 Where are we donating the money?
45:05 Speaker 04 This one's gonna go out to the Vancouver Wildlife League in Vancouver, Washington.
45:10 Speaker 05 Hey, my hometown.
45:11 Speaker 04 Oh, oh, that's even more special.
45:13 Speaker 03 Besides Phil, growing up there, what do we like about the Vancouver Wildlife League?
45:18 Speaker 04 Founded in 1929, they, uh, they do habitat restoration, they do, uh, they have volunteer pheasant release program, uh, and this man, they have an annual spring fishing derby for kids, and this listener says, "This is the type of group that will save hunting and fishing in the state of Washington."
45:35 Speaker 03 Mmm, okay.
45:36 Speaker 04 So I thought that was a strong case.
45:37 Speaker 03 Good place to donate $500 to. For those small groups, $500 is quite meaningful.
45:43 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, I feel like, uh, it's kinda cool to, to, cause there's groups everywhere, you know, maybe even if it's a dozen people in a small town, there's people doing meaningful work everywhere. So if we can boost the coffers a little bit and spread the love.
45:56 Speaker 03 One more time, what's the name of the place?
45:58 Speaker 04 Uh, the Vancouver Wildlife League. That's correct. The Vancouver Wildlife League.
46:04 Speaker 03 $500 going their way.
46:06 Speaker 04 Yeah.
46:07 Speaker 03 Sorry, jabronis.
46:08 Speaker 05 Get 'em next time.
46:09 Speaker 03 Maybe three of you isn't enough. They've been close games.
46:11 Speaker 04 Three is good. It's good, it's fair.
46:13 Speaker 03 Yeah.
46:13 Speaker 04 I, I just wanna say, you know, Roman, you're, you know, you're my favorite. You're my dog. Nate, you did a tremendous job sewing my backpack for me.
46:21 Speaker 03 A real fledgling.

47:00 Steven Rinella? If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you got dogs, you got kids, you know how hard it is to keep the floor of your rig clean. A thing we do in our, in our little fleet of vehicles that I have at my household, if you go look, open the door on any one of them, they all got WeatherTech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in WeatherTech. That way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being good as new. I'm telling you, if you've got a vehicle, put WeatherTech in there, you're gonna be happy you did it. And check this out, American-made floor liners and cargo liners, okay? They laugh in the face of all weather. Go take a look for yourself today at weathertech.com.
47:40 Speaker 07 A BetterHelp ad. I would like to formally request more storage space in my brain. Because somehow I can forget why I opened my laptop where I put my keys, or the name of someone I met 30 seconds ago. But I can remember an awkward conversation from six years ago in extraordinary detail. So if your brain came with a delete button, what would you use it on? Maybe it's that tough breakup you've analyzed from every possible angle, and 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. We don't always get to choose what sticks around in our heads. BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that gives you space to
48:24 Speaker 07 talk about what's taking up too much of yours. BetterHelp is now in-network with more than 125 health plans, with many copays as low as $15 for eligible members. Visit betterhelp.com. Cost and coverage may vary.
