  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Neuharth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Brody, Randall, Alec, Max, and Sarah. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're celebrating a Meat Eater Trivia milestone. Brody Henderson has become the only player in Meat Eater Trivia history and the first player to achieve 50 career wins.

• 2:42Speaker 04

  But how did that happen? I lost the last time I played.

• 2:45Speaker 03

  Well, I hadn't updated the wins tracker.

• 2:49Speaker 03

  When I went back and looked, I learned that Brody's become the first player to 50 wins. That's almost as many as Steve and Randall have combined. So, well done, Brody.

• 2:59Speaker 04

  Thank you, thank you.

• 3:01Speaker 05

  I find that shocking.

• 3:03Speaker 03

  I think you're around 30 and Steve's around 20.

• 3:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, Steve's not.

• 3:07Speaker 06

  Steve don't play no more.

• 3:09Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 3:10Speaker 06

  I thought you'd have brought some like flowers and streamers for Brody.

• 3:14Speaker 03

  Well, we're trying to get Brody's love for trivia back.

• 3:17Speaker 04

  Long career, long.

• 3:18Speaker 03

  Yeah. Long in the tooth now.

• 3:20Speaker 06

  I've been playing just as long as you, buddy.

• 3:23Speaker 00

  Just not as successful.

• 3:24Speaker 06

  Not at my level, though.

• 3:25Speaker 05

  Not as successful.

• 3:25Speaker 03

  That's right. Yeah, I think last week we learned Brody has a 40% win rate, which across, you know, the decades he's been playing, good enough to give him 50 wins.

• 3:34Speaker 04

  You're a smart guy, Brody.

• 3:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 3:36Speaker 03

  Now, here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Tyler Park says, "I'm tired of my kid making me listen to the same episodes of Meat Eater Kids. Please tell me more are on the way soon." Phil, give them an update.

• 3:54Speaker 04

  Oh, sure. Tyler, we have five new episodes that are going to air starting June 30th. So, just a couple of weeks away. Five new episodes. There's going to be a couple of changes. Clay is taking over the "Why It's the Way It Is" segments. You'll get some Appalachian...

• 4:12Speaker 03

  Southern perspective.

• 4:13Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 4:14Speaker 03

  Southern voice.

• 4:14Speaker 04

  Exactly. We got Maggie Hublow doing Guess That Critter this season. And then Spencer, you're still doing kid kids trivia. That'll be five weeks in a row, starting June 30th.

• 4:24Speaker 03

  And it's on the Meat Eater Kids podcast feed. That's very important. If you want to listen to this, you have to go find, just type in Meat Eater Kids on Spotify, iHeart, Apple, wherever you're listening, Meat Eater Kids. You will find that feed. It's every Monday, starting June 30th for five straight weeks. What are you doing, Randall?

• 4:42Speaker 05

  I'm doing my sandal crane call.

• 4:45Speaker 03

  Do it again.

• 4:48Speaker 05

  Oh, I lost it. I had a real nice spot on my board that was doing that.

• 4:53Speaker 03

  All right, we have some housekeeping on a previous episode of Kids Trivia. I asked a question about which of these animals is not found in Lake Erie. The choices were alligator, Canada goose, and largemouth bass. And of course, the right answer was alligator. But two weeks after that episode dropped, local news stations picked up an interesting story. Play the clip, Phil.

• 5:21Speaker 04

  All right, how about this one? Search is still on for a small alligator in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was caught on video last week swimming just off of the shore of Lake Erie.

• 5:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, lovely. It is lovely, right? And it's very unclear how this, what they're saying, three to four foot alligator ended up in Lake Erie. But I have a guess.

• 5:40Speaker 04

  Are you sure that's not a log?

• 5:41Speaker 05

  It looks like an alligator to me.

• 5:45Speaker 05

  They suspect it may have been, you see the eyeballs there? It's looking at you.

• 5:48Speaker 04

  I don't know. Are we sure that's an alligator? That's worse than a bed foot footage, man.

• 5:53Speaker 05

  Releasing a non-native species into the wild, it's against the law here in Pennsylvania.

• 5:57Speaker 04

  Looks like a bear.

• 5:59Speaker 05

  See, see, no longer, they don't want the animal.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  And a wildlife officials did search for that gator. And although they said they found tracks, they never actually caught the reptile. But more importantly, that means for that question of Meat Eater Kids Trivia, there was no wrong answer. So retroactively, everyone got it right. The gator in Erie, Pennsylvania.

• 6:21Speaker 04

  You're one of those people that every, all kids get a trophy, huh?

• 6:25Speaker 03

  Well, as soon as that local, local news station told me that there were gators in Lake Erie, they were all right. Brody, did you hear about that news being that was your hometown?

• 6:36Speaker 04

  No, I did not. But I feel like that happened like once a year. One of those things pops up somewhere. It's not supposed to be.

• 6:42Speaker 03

  Season three of Meat Eater Kids will be available on the Meat Eater Kids podcast feed starting June 30th. All right, the Shelby index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 6:59Speaker 07

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win, everything.

• 7:05Speaker 07

  How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 7:14Speaker 03

  Game on, suckers. I'm so ready. Question one, the topic is trapping, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the Beaver Institute, this is a beaver's least favorite tree. Is it pine, willow, aspen, or cherry?

• 7:35Speaker 03

  According to the Beaver Institute, this is a beaver's least favorite tree. Pine, willow, aspen, or cherry?

• 7:44Speaker 04

  What'd you write down, Max?

• 7:46Speaker 03

  Same answer you did.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  How do you know?

• 7:47Speaker 03

  You two like sitting next to each other, and I like that you guys like it.

• 7:51Speaker 04

  I like his answer, just because it's the same as mine. But I know he won't win, so it's okay.

• 8:02Speaker 03

  Randall likes his Baby Billy shirt that he wore it again this week.

• 8:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, two weeks in a row. Imagine that.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  Did you wash it?

• 8:09Speaker 04

  Same, same shorts.

• 8:10Speaker 03

  Pretty clean.

• 8:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm still full from that ham sandwich I ate just prior to last week's episode.

• 8:18Speaker 03

  Randall rode it, rolled in with a, a container full of a ham sandwich. What was that specifically?

• 8:24Speaker 05

  Uh, ham, Swiss cheese, little yellow mustard, little mayonnaise.

• 8:30Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 8:31Speaker 05

  Cut diagonally.

• 8:32Speaker 06

  Can't go wrong.

• 8:33Speaker 04

  Alec, are you trying to lose some weight today by wearing a rain jacket in this hot ass room?

• 8:38Speaker 06

  Bad.

• 8:40Speaker 04

  It breathes.

• 8:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 8:41Speaker 04

  Come on, it's not some cheap.

• 8:42Speaker 00

  Is that a flash storm?

• 8:43Speaker 06

  It's a flash storm.

• 8:44Speaker 00

  New colors these days, I'm told.

• 8:46Speaker 04

  Maybe he knows something that's about to happen that we don't know.

• 8:48Speaker 03

  According to the Beaver Institute, this is a beaver's least favorite tree, pine, willow, aspen, cherry. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying pine.

• 8:58Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 8:59Speaker 03

  Sarah says cherry. Randall, cherry. Alec, pine. Max, pine. Brody, pine. The correct answer is pine.

• 9:11Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 9:12Speaker 03

  Four of our players got that one right.

• 9:15Speaker 04

  I know it.

• 9:16Speaker 03

  Beavers tend to avoid conifers, such as pines, spruces, firs, and hemlocks, because they have lower nutritional value and too much resin. Their preferred species include alder, aspen, apple, birch, cherry, cottonwood, poplar, and willow. Ranking lower on the list are the hardest hardwoods, such as hickory, maple, and oak.

• 9:38Speaker 04

  I don't know. The fact that there's a thing called the Beaver Institute is pretty interesting.

• 9:42Speaker 03

  Beaver Institute. I don't think they would approve, though, of what we like to do with beavers here. I think they're

• 9:48Speaker 04

  Oh, they're like.

• 9:49Speaker 03

  They're very pro Beaver, to the point where they don't like trappers trapping beavers. I don't know that for certain. I think that's what the beavers.

• 9:57Speaker 06

  We're pro Beaver, too.

• 9:59Speaker 03

  We are, in a different way. Question two. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Alex Frost. For sending this great question, Alex 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]. Located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of blank has the highest tides in the world.

• 10:28Speaker 06

  Hmm, this is where I go downhill.

• 10:30Speaker 04

  This is where I give up.

• 10:31Speaker 03

  Located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of blank has the highest tides in the world. Why do we think it was cherry on that last one, Randall? You saw they have too much flavor for them?

• 10:45Speaker 05

  I thought Cherry was a harder wood than the others.

• 10:47Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 10:48Speaker 04

  He's just reeling from the loss last week.

• 10:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm still having problems.

• 10:52Speaker 06

  Sorry guys, can we get cell phones off the table? We're getting some fuzz.

• 10:55Speaker 05

  Oh, hell.

• 10:56Speaker 02

  Don't worry Phil, mine's off.

• 10:57Speaker 05

  Mine's in airplane mode.

• 11:00Speaker 03

  Located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

• 11:04Speaker 04

  Max doesn't care about hiding his board at all.

• 11:09Speaker 02

  Well, it's just, I don't have the answer yet.

• 11:11Speaker 05

  I was actually just reading about buffalo hunters making pegs for staking out their hides. And Cherry was one of the woods that they like to split to make pegs.

• 11:21Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  Somehow that informed my thinking.

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Where were they getting that? Where?

• 11:27Speaker 05

  I don't know. They also a lot of times didn't know what they're talking about when they're writing down.

• 11:32Speaker 04

  Something else.

• 11:33Speaker 05

  Yeah. But I believe them.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  Uh, the Beaver Institute, they said beavers are our partners in protecting and restoring the planet.

• 11:43Speaker 04

  Maybe it's Cheltenham.

• 11:44Speaker 03

  Our free Beaver library has been crowdsourced for your benefit from Beaver basics to Beaver history. Information on Beaver management and climate change. So I don't know what their stance is on anything.

• 11:55Speaker 05

  I think, I think based on that, you don't typically trap and skin your partners. In ecosystem restoration.

• 12:03Speaker 03

  Located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of Blank has the highest tides in the world. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Fundy. Sarah says Montreal. Randall, Fundy. Alec, Queens. Max, Salmon, Brody, Fundy. The correct answer is Fundy. The highest tidal range worldwide, or the average tidal range worldwide is 3.3 feet. But at the Bay of Fundy, it's 52 feet.

• 12:36Speaker 05

  Geez.

• 12:37Speaker 03

  The bay has such extreme tides because the waves oscillate almost perfectly in sync with the lunar cycle. The inlet's funnel-like shape also plays a role, creating the biggest tide swings at the back of the bay.

• 12:50Speaker 02

  It's pretty amazing.

• 12:51Speaker 03

  52 feet.

• 12:52Speaker 06

  That's crazy.

• 12:53Speaker 03

  Big tide. Question three, the topic is wildlife. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this is the most widespread turtle species in North America.

• 13:04Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 13:07Speaker 03

  This is question three.

• 13:11Speaker 03

  Very quick answer from Max. He's not going to share his answer with Brody this time around.

• 13:16Speaker 04

  No.

• 13:17Speaker 03

  According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this is the most widespread turtle species in North America.

• 13:23Speaker 05

  Did we not have this question already?

• 13:25Speaker 03

  We did not. I know what you're thinking. We've not had this question. Oh, so maybe I'm thinking of that answer.

• 13:33Speaker 06

  Spencer, has, whenever anyone challenges you on the repetition of a question, has anyone ever been right? I'm pretty sure they have not.

• 13:40Speaker 03

  No, because I haven't repeated any questions. I go back and I check my database.

• 13:43Speaker 05

  I just remember a question that made me think, I don't know that much about turtles.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  We can address that after this. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this is the most widespread turtle species in North America. Brody's still working on his answer over here.

• 14:02Speaker 04

  Do they have these turtles where you're from, Sarah? You know, I don't know that many kinds of turtles. Give us a, give us a Labrador example.

• 14:11Speaker 03

  Not gonna do that. Yeah, you'd say Labrador. That was your answer.

• 14:16Speaker 04

  But dog ain't gonna cut it.

• 14:17Speaker 03

  Dog, no.

• 14:23Speaker 03

  According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this is the most widespread turtle species in North America. Does this turtle have a shell?

• 14:34Speaker 03

  Does it live on land or water?

• 14:35Speaker 05

  Does this turtle have a hard shell?

• 14:38Speaker 03

  Or a soft?

• 14:40Speaker 03

  Okay. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer.

• 14:46Speaker 04

  Soft shell?

• 14:47Speaker 03

  We have Yanis saying box turtle. Sarah says painted.

• 14:51Speaker 05

  Painted is the right answer, I think.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  Alex says painted. Max says painted. Brody says soft shell and he crossed out painted.

• 15:00Speaker 04

  I crossed out box.

• 15:01Speaker 03

  Correct answer. Is painted turtle? All three jabronis got that one right.

• 15:10Speaker 05

  I'm not a jabroni. Heavy.

• 15:13Speaker 03

  Did not.

• 15:15Steven Rinella?

  On once.

• 15:16Speaker 03

  Painted turtles are found in forty-five states and eight provinces. The US Fish and Wildlife Service separates them into four subspecies. The Western, the Eastern, the Southern, and the Midland. It's also the most common state reptile in America. That was a trivia question at our Michigan event. It was, uh, what's the most common state reptile in America? The correct answer was the painted turtle.

• 15:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:41Speaker 03

  That one, I believe.

• 15:42Speaker 05

  Is the, is the red-eared a turtle?

• 15:43Speaker 03

  A red-eared slider. Um, I think that is a turtle. Yes, uh, that's like the one in Central Park in New York.

• 15:49Steven Rinella?

  Sick.

• 15:51Speaker 03

  Question four. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Justin Robar. The Minnes- this Minnesota boot brand shares its name with a professional hockey team.

• 16:08Speaker 03

  Max and Randall already have their answer.

• 16:10Speaker 05

  Max the-

• 16:11Speaker 03

  Max with a little emphasis on his, uh, writing there. I was trying to be random. This Minnesota boot brand shares its name with a professional hockey team. I can't wait for scoreboard updates. It's more than one.

• 16:28Speaker 03

  Proud of you jabronis getting that painted turtle question right.

• 16:31Speaker 00

  That was a big confidence boost.

• 16:33Speaker 03

  We've, we've, uh, we've widened the definition to jabroni to just not be like, you know, yeah. Yeah. Not one of the heavy hitters. So it's like five or less wins. Sure. Or ten, maybe. Sure. There you go.

• 16:46Speaker 00

  Ten's a lot of wins.

• 16:47Speaker 03

  Ten is a lot of wins. One's a lot of wins. This Minnesota boot brand shares its name with a professional hockey team.

• 16:55Steven Rinella?

  I better get this one.

• 16:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:56Steven Rinella?

  Hometown. Let's quit talking.

• 16:58Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 16:59Steven Rinella?

  Let's quit talking. What? Giving out a lot of hints.

• 17:03Speaker 04

  What kind of boots?

• 17:05Speaker 00

  Just boots. That seems like a pretty big hint.

• 17:10Speaker 03

  Sarah, do you have this one right?

• 17:11Speaker 00

  I think so.

• 17:12Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:13Speaker 00

  It's a profession- I have a professional hockey team that also makes boots.

• 17:16Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 17:17Speaker 00

  On my board, so.

• 17:18Speaker 03

  Okay. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 17:20Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 17:23Speaker 05

  No hesitation.

• 17:24Speaker 03

  You don't, you don't like the small talk that's happening?

• 17:27Speaker 05

  I don't like, I feel like we're giving out a lot of time for what should be a no brainer.

• 17:32Speaker 03

  Yanni has now joined them. Yanni, do you like your answer?

• 17:35Speaker 06

  Very much.

• 17:36Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:39Speaker 05

  Brody, why don't you ask me if I like your answer?

• 17:43Speaker 03

  I'll ask you. Uh, Max, do you like Brody's answer?

• 17:46Speaker 05

  No. No.

• 17:50Speaker 03

  This Minnesota boot brand shares its name with a professional hockey team.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Yanni. When Spencer asks you that, I don't change my answer after the fact. I just roll with it. Yanni, do you know where Alec's from?

• 18:04Speaker 06

  Yeah, maybe.

• 18:07Speaker 00

  I have a general geographic area.

• 18:09Speaker 03

  I did not know that this was your hometown.

• 18:11Speaker 05

  He didn't totally give it away.

• 18:12Speaker 06

  No.

• 18:13Speaker 05

  I didn't know that either. Actually, now that I think about it.

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni, and Sarah, and Randall, and Alec, and Max saying Red Wing, Brody says Bruins. The correct answer is Red Wing.

• 18:29Speaker 00

  Are you from Michigan, Alec?

• 18:30Speaker 05

  I love winning. No. Minnesota. Yeah.

• 18:32Speaker 03

  The Red Wing Boot Company.

• 18:34Speaker 05

  As soon as I started asking, I was like, wait a second, you're lying.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  The Red Wing Boot Company is named after Red Wing, Minnesota, which is where the brand is headquartered. The Detroit Red Wings are named after one of the team investors' childhood teams, the Winged Wheelers. The team was formerly known as the Cougars and the Falcons.

• 18:53Speaker 04

  Max just claimed victory already.

• 18:55Speaker 05

  No, no, no. Did he? I did not.

• 18:58Speaker 03

  Question five. The topic is cooking. According to the New England Aquarium, one in two million lobsters are this color.

• 19:11Speaker 03

  Wow, five players, very quick to answer. Yanni is just observing. According to the New England Aquarium, one in two million lobsters are this color.

• 19:26Speaker 03

  Five confident players, now Yanis is joining them.

• 19:30Steven Rinella?

  I don't know that I'm confident.

• 19:31Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:32Steven Rinella?

  One out of every two million lobsters?

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Very.

• 19:35Steven Rinella?

  How should I be aware of this? Sounds rather uncommon.

• 19:39Speaker 03

  According to the New England Aquarium, one in two million lobsters are this color. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanisang White, Sarah says Blue, Randall says White, Alec, Max, and Brody say Blue. The correct answer is Blue. Ayo. Four of our players got that one right. Fishermen believe that catching a blue lobster is a sign of good luck. The unique coloring is due to an overabundance of a certain protein that turns the red pigments blue. Blue lobsters have sold for prices between $500 and $1,000.

• 20:21Speaker 04

  Do they turn red when you cook them?

• 20:24Speaker 03

  I don't know about that. I don't think so.

• 20:26Steven Rinella?

  Does that apply to crayfish too?

• 20:28Speaker 03

  Probably not crayfish.

• 20:29Speaker 04

  Crayfish are really red until you cook them.

• 20:32Steven Rinella?

  Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Max is very eager.

• 20:37Speaker 06

  Give it to me, Phil. Well, in last place with two points, we have Dr. Randall Williams.

• 20:42Speaker 05

  Clearly, there's something wrong with this game.

• 20:45Speaker 06

  Randall, you might consider cutting that t-shirt up.

• 20:49Steven Rinella?

  Bad luck.

• 20:49Speaker 05

  I just spent $17 on it.

• 20:52Speaker 06

  Plus shipping and handling.

• 20:53Speaker 00

  This is not Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers.

• 20:55Speaker 06

  Yanis, Sarah, and Brody have three points and tied up in first place. Jabroni's Alec and Max with four points.

• 21:04Speaker 04

  I'd like to think they could keep it up, but I just don't.

• 21:10Steven Rinella?

  Question six.

• 21:11Speaker 04

  I'm rooting for you, Max. And you too, Al.

• 21:13Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 21:16Steven 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 weather tech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in weather tech. That way, when there's a mess, it's like you're Kids 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 weather tech.com.

• 21:56Steven Rinella?

  I'm holding in my hot little hand here, the first ever folding knife from Montana Knife Company. Dude, this thing is sweet. They like reimagined folding knives. You touch this thing and you know you are holding a quality product. Montana Knife Company founded by Josh Smith, one of the most experienced master bladesmiths in the world. The Montana is the first folder Josh has built at production scale with a team of engineers and machinists who could match what he does on the bench. G10 scales with a 3D milled micro texture, titanium hardware, a custom deep carry clip with flat head screws set flush. This is a rock solid clip.

• 22:40Steven Rinella?

  It's not the kind of clip that you're gonna use a couple of times and it bends and get all loose. The blade goes back into the mill after heat treatment for its most critical surfaces. That's the kind of step nobody else takes. That same standard applies to every part of the Montana. That's the name of the folder, the Montana from start to finish. The wait is over and I've been waiting a long time to get one of these suckers. MKC launching their first folding knife. It's dropping extremely soon, so make sure you sign up for email and SMS to be the first to know. These are gonna sell out quick. Head to MKC.com today. That's MKC.com.

• 24:00Speaker 03

  Question six, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Preston Dominey. This Republican president signed the Endangered Species Act into law in 1973. Brody, Randall, very confident in this one. Seems as though all of our players are quick to answer. This Republican president signed the Endangered Species Act into law in 1973.

• 24:30Speaker 06

  It's not my strength here.

• 24:31Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:32Speaker 06

  This, this falls under conservation.

• 24:34Speaker 03

  This is a conservation question.

• 24:36Speaker 06

  My weakest.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 24:39Speaker 06

  That's why you weren't invited to BHA, Yanni.

• 24:41Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 24:44Speaker 06

  And they know I'm not drinking beer. They like to drink a lot of beer there this weekend.

• 24:48Speaker 04

  Boy, do they.

• 24:51Speaker 06

  Are you going, Brody?

• 24:52Speaker 04

  No.

• 24:53Speaker 03

  Max wrote down the year.

• 24:55Speaker 06

  Too old?

• 24:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm trying to, no.

• 24:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, I, yeah, I don't, I'm just, I got other shit going on.

• 25:00Speaker 03

  This Republican president signed the Endangered Species Act into law in 1973. Max wrote down an answer, he's now revisiting his answer.

• 25:11Speaker 05

  Second thoughts.

• 25:13Speaker 03

  Democrat. Wow.

• 25:14Speaker 05

  Clinton was a Democrat.

• 25:17Speaker 03

  Brody and Alec are both watching him, putting a lot of pressure on Max.

• 25:21Speaker 06

  He got the party right.

• 25:21Speaker 00

  He also wasn't president in 1973.

• 25:24Speaker 05

  Oh, I know, but it's fun to think about.

• 25:26Speaker 03

  Max?

• 25:27Speaker 05

  What if he was?

• 25:28Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm not switching my answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis and Sarah and Randall saying Nixon. Alex says Teddy Roosevelt, Max Ronald Reagan, Brody Nixon. The correct answer is Richard Nixon.

• 25:43Speaker 06

  Shoot.

• 25:44Speaker 04

  Now the tides have turned, boys.

• 25:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, now we go downhill. The lead didn't last for very long. The landmark act had near unanimous approval by Congress. When Nixon signed the bill, he said, quote, "Nothing is more priceless and more worthy of preservation than the rich array of animal life with which our country has been blessed."

• 26:05Speaker 04

  Nixon should get more credit for being a conservation president. Clean Air and Water Act.

• 26:10Speaker 03

  He signed that one as well. Question seven, the topic is woodsmanship. Merriam-Webster defines this six-letter word as, quote, "The uppermost spreading branchy layer of a forest."

• 26:25Speaker 03

  Find through this episode.

• 26:28Speaker 03

  It's going quick. Are you feeling the pressure now, Max?

• 26:30Speaker 04

  I am now.

• 26:31Speaker 06

  You threw Yanni's bone on this one.

• 26:33Speaker 03

  Oh. I don't know about that.

• 26:34Speaker 06

  This recent activity.

• 26:37Speaker 06

  Yes, I have been opening up the blank.

• 26:41Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  At my last conso progress.

• 26:44Speaker 03

  Really?

• 26:45Speaker 00

  Is a big, big one.

• 26:47Speaker 03

  Max is the only one still working on his answer.

• 26:50Speaker 06

  You just gave Max the answer.

• 26:51Speaker 05

  I have an idea for trivia where we all just play in separate rooms.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  Uh, we can do Scantrons.

• 26:57Speaker 06

  Yeah. That sounds fun.

• 26:59Speaker 05

  That actually, Scantrons would be great.

• 27:01Speaker 03

  I've heard that Scantrons are making a comeback because of all the cheating kids can do. I don't know.

• 27:05Speaker 05

  Makes a ton of sense.

• 27:06Speaker 06

  I don't even know what that, what that is.

• 27:08Speaker 03

  It's just like the thing where you fill in a bubble with a pencil.

• 27:12Speaker 04

  Oh, like when you test the SAT?

• 27:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:14Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 27:15Speaker 05

  Yeah, I haven't housed a Scantron in a long time.

• 27:18Speaker 03

  So we have spell check. Yeah, we're just spell checking our answers over here. Do you have an answer, Max? I do have it, yeah. Again, we are on question seven. Merriam-Webster defines this six-letter word as the uppermost spreading branchy layer of a forest. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Everybody said canopy, everybody got it right.

• 27:37Speaker 00

  Look at that.

• 27:38Speaker 03

  The correct answer is canopy.

• 27:40Speaker 05

  Come on, I need some tough questions so I can catch up with the.

• 27:44Speaker 06

  Well, there's been two hundred percenters in here.

• 27:47Speaker 03

  This zone is also known as the overstory. It serves critical functions such as rainfall interception, light absorption, nutrient cycling, and gas exchange. It also provides habitat for squirrels, bats, raccoons, owls, sloths, frogs, lemurs, parrots, and more. Yanni, you're opening up the canopy in Wisconsin, huh?

• 28:07Speaker 04

  Cutting back on that sloth population.

• 28:09Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Lemurs. What's that gonna benefit for you?

• 28:12Speaker 06

  Uh, well, instead of the sunlight hitting the canopy, it will now hit the forest floor, allowing everything that's in that seed bank to flourish.

• 28:20Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 28:21Speaker 06

  And actually, I just got a report, my boys from the, uh, Bo and Jacob, they're helping me there from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They were there walking it last week, getting, uh, prepping. They needed to see what was going on so they could tell me what herbicide I need to show up with next week. And, uh, they said there are very few non-natives.

• 28:40Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. That's good. Very nice. That would have been a different report a few years ago before you started this project, or no?

• 28:47Speaker 05

  No, I think it would have been the same. But it's just, you know, no one knows, you know, until you do the cut and, and things start popping. I can't wait till you get a good, good buck. Oh yeah, someone gets a good buck out of there.

• 29:00Speaker 03

  Question eight, the topic is cooking. Bread crumbs, milk powder and soy meal are examples of this type of ingredient, which is added to sausage to make the meat stick together.

• 29:14Speaker 03

  Sarah, Brody, Randall, all have their answers already. Bread crumbs, milk powder and soy meal are examples of this type of ingredient, which is added to sausage to make the meat stick together.

• 29:32Speaker 03

  Brody, did you like Max's answer?

• 29:35Speaker 04

  I did.

• 29:35Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 29:36Speaker 04

  Max is really on top of it today. And, and you know, and with that hint that Yanis gave him, it's, he's got a chance.

• 29:45Speaker 03

  Yanni has a blank whiteboard for this one. Maybe you need to give him a hint here, Max.

• 29:49Speaker 05

  How about we not do any of this? Let's just get engaged.

• 29:53Speaker 04

  I don't use any of those types of things.

• 29:56Speaker 06

  As the points stand right now, this is probably the tightest game of trivia we've ever played.

• 30:00Speaker 04

  Oh, I love it. Keep it going.

• 30:02Speaker 05

  Randall's not having fun.

• 30:03Speaker 03

  Bread crumbs, milk powder and soy meal are examples of this type of ingredient. Which is added to sausage to make the meat stick together. Yanni still has a blank whiteboard. Alec, do you have this one right? I, I don't know. Maybe, okay.

• 30:20Speaker 04

  I need to do big sausage.

• 30:22Speaker 05

  Brody, let me see what you got. Brody, let me see what you got.

• 30:27Speaker 04

  No.

• 30:27Speaker 05

  Max, let me see what you got.

• 30:28Speaker 04

  Don't let him see.

• 30:29Speaker 05

  No, Randall.

• 30:31Speaker 03

  Oh wow.

• 30:32Speaker 05

  Do you two agree?

• 30:33Speaker 04

  Max and I have a thing, okay?

• 30:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 30:36Speaker 05

  I just thought we could all gang up on Yanis. I see your answer. So I don't feel, so I don't feel as bad about my performance. Question, so you can uh get level ground. Mm hmm.

• 30:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know if it's gonna happen. Stumbling on question eight. Bread crumbs, milk powder and soy meal are examples of this type of ingredient, which is added to sausage to make the meat stick together. Is everybody ready?

• 31:01Speaker 05

  So good.

• 31:02Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying bonding agent. Sarah says binding, Randall binding agent, Alec binder, Max binder, Brody binder. The correct answer is binder. We'll give it to binding agent. I don't think we're gonna give it to bonding.

• 31:20Speaker 06

  Ah.

• 31:22Speaker 03

  People don't call it bonders.

• 31:25Speaker 03

  They do call it binders.

• 31:26Speaker 04

  I don't know, binding bonding, it's kinda close. Tomato, tomato.

• 31:29Speaker 06

  Felling usually doesn't matter.

• 31:34Speaker 03

  Besides getting the meat to bind to the fat, binders also prevent shrinkage and help with moisture retention. Without a binder, cased sausages are more likely to crumble when opened. Other than breadcrumbs, milk powder and soy meal, commonly used binders include cornstarch, cornmeal, oatmeal, carrot fiber, rice and eggs.

• 31:55Speaker 04

  I feel like you really only need to add that stuff if there's not enough fat in there.

• 32:00Speaker 03

  Would it, do you use a binder?

• 32:02Speaker 04

  I've used a binder sometimes, like when I'm making burgers sometimes.

• 32:05Speaker 05

  Like meatballs.

• 32:06Speaker 04

  Meatballs.

• 32:07Speaker 05

  Pretty essential for meatballs.

• 32:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:09Speaker 06

  Sometimes I like to get that meat to bond together, so it doesn't crumble.

• 32:13Speaker 05

  Using a binder.

• 32:15Speaker 04

  What's your favorite bonding?

• 32:18Speaker 06

  James.

• 32:20Speaker 03

  Bill, we have two questions left. I'm excited.

• 32:23Speaker 06

  Oh, one letter off.

• 32:24Speaker 05

  Who even knows what the score is anymore?

• 32:26Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 32:27Speaker 06

  Oh my goodness. Tight game there. At question, after question eight, everyone is still in the game. Yanis and Randall have five points. Sarah, Alec, Max and Brody are tied for first with six points.

• 32:40Speaker 04

  We need to find out if there's ever been a game where everyone's been in it this late.

• 32:45Speaker 06

  I doubt it.

• 32:46Speaker 03

  I don't think it's happened.

• 32:47Speaker 06

  I don't think so.

• 32:48Speaker 05

  I'd say it was.

• 32:48Speaker 03

  Question.

• 32:51Speaker 03

  Question nine, the topic is hunting. This next question is via Bruce Larson. Ducks Unlimited. Refers to these as quote decoys that imitate species you don't intend to shoot, but are often found hanging around waterfowl.

• 33:11Speaker 04

  I got that one before Max and Max calls himself a duck hunter.

• 33:14Speaker 03

  He doesn't have an answer yet. Neither does Randall. Ducks Unlimited refers to these as decoys that imitate species you don't intend to shoot, but are often found hanging around waterfowl. Sarah, do you have this one right? Uh, highly doubt it. Okay. Never even pointed a shotgun at a duck. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 33:35Speaker 05

  No.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  Okay. How about you, Alec?

• 33:37Speaker 04

  Randall's not even in it.

• 33:38Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 33:39Speaker 04

  So we don't need to worry about it.

• 33:40Speaker 03

  He won't be if he gets this wrong.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  He's drawing pictures.

• 33:43Speaker 06

  Randall's making a joke over there, I can tell.

• 33:45Speaker 03

  Ducks Unlimited refers to these as decoys that imitate species you don't intend to shoot, but are often found hanging around waterfowl. I think you're wrong.

• 33:56Speaker 04

  I think...

• 33:57Speaker 03

  Just kidding.

• 33:58Speaker 04

  This is how you play trivia.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  I think we're ready. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying confidence. Sarah, turn your answer around, Sarah. It's a say. Buddy decoys. Randall says decoy decoys. Alec and Max and Brody say confidence decoys. The correct answer is confidence decoys.

• 34:23Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 34:24Speaker 03

  Confidence decoys are meant to add realism to spreads and make waterfowl feel safer about landing. Examples of confidence decoys include swans, coots, herons, seagulls, crows, cranes, and ducks when you're goose hunting, or geese when you're duck hunting.

• 34:40Speaker 04

  You use them, Max?

• 34:41Speaker 03

  Um, when I was growing up, I was a big proponent of like, blue heron decoys or swan decoy, but now I don't. I wish... There's some truth to it, for sure. Mm-hmm. I wish other hunters would start using confidence decoys. Like imagine a turkey hunter who put a deer decoy out. Wow, yeah. Or like a deer hunter who had a turkey decoy out there strutting around. I'd like that. Here's a correct answer review so far. One was Pine Tree. Two, Fundy. Three, Painted Turtle. Four, Red Wing. Five, Blue. Six, Richard Nixon. Seven, Canopy. Eight, Binder. Nine, Confidence Decoys. But let's get another scoreboard update before question 10.

• 35:25Speaker 05

  Unfortunately, that last question has eliminated Dr. Ram. I could have never come up with the word confidence today. Last thing on my mind.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  What's this say? Shelby, next was eight. It was a name on this one.

• 35:40Speaker 06

  Hmm, we're right there because Yanis and Sarah have six points and tied for first, or Alec, Max and Brody with seven.

• 35:48Speaker 03

  Question 10. The topic is biology. My birds, birds.

• 35:54Speaker 03

  The California Department of Public Health defines this 10-letter word as, quote, "A virus that spreads through the urine, droppings, or saliva of wild rodents."

• 36:08Speaker 03

  Oh my gosh. Nobody.

• 36:11Speaker 06

  These are my favorite question 10s, the stumpers.

• 36:15Speaker 03

  The spelling questions. We may have a zero percenter, though, based on how our room looks.

• 36:22Speaker 05

  You know, unrelated to this question.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 36:26Speaker 05

  There are those, uh, there are those decoys for big game hunters that are like cattle.

• 36:31Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 36:32Speaker 05

  That's a confidence decoy. I thought I'd add a little bit of value to this podcast.

• 36:36Speaker 03

  The 2D antelope decoy.

• 36:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, sneak behind. The California Department of Public Health defines this 10-letter word as, "A virus that spreads through the urine, droppings, or saliva of wild rodents." This could be a zero percenter.

• 36:59Speaker 03

  Nobody looks like they even have a prayer on this one.

• 37:02Speaker 05

  No, I, my guess was nine letters.

• 37:05Speaker 03

  Phil, what have you gotten this right?

• 37:06Speaker 06

  Absolutely not. No, no.

• 37:08Speaker 03

  Can I phone a friend?

• 37:11Speaker 03

  Who would know this, you think? Knows a lot about rats.

• 37:13Speaker 04

  Steve would.

• 37:14Speaker 03

  Oh, maybe. The California Department of Public Health defines this 10 letter word as a virus that spreads through the urine droppings or saliva of wild rodents. Remind me, Phil, if nobody gets this right, who is going to overtime this week?

• 37:30Speaker 06

  Alec, Max and Brody. Yeah.

• 37:32Speaker 04

  Come on, just don't put anything down, guys.

• 37:34Speaker 05

  Oh, Brody just, Brody, if Brody just cut them off of the knees right now, that would be.

• 37:38Speaker 03

  Brody's counting letters, so that's probably not good for the rest of us.

• 37:42Speaker 05

  Well, he's counting letters and then he grabbed his chin and he's puzzled, so.

• 37:46Speaker 03

  Nick, he might be a letter short or too many letters. A virus that spreads through the urine droppings or saliva of wild rodents. It is a 10 letter word.

• 38:03Speaker 03

  A real stumper.

• 38:06Speaker 05

  Hmm. Mm, mm, mm.

• 38:10Speaker 03

  Do our players give up?

• 38:13Speaker 05

  I've got a joke answer again.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  Okay, we'll see if we get to laugh this time.

• 38:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, I got one laugh last time.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  Was it from you?

• 38:21Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 38:24Speaker 04

  It's one word?

• 38:25Speaker 05

  It's one word.

• 38:26Speaker 04

  That's where. Damn it!

• 38:27Speaker 03

  I know, I. 10 letter word. A virus that spreads through the urine droppings or saliva of wild rodents.

• 38:36Speaker 04

  Come on, time's up. All right, let's go to a tiebreaker.

• 38:40Speaker 03

  Brody, do you get, or excuse me, Yanni, do you give up? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

• 38:47Speaker 04

  I gotta laugh!

• 38:49Speaker 03

  Sarah without an answer, Randall says Ratatouille, Alec without an answer, Max says patho. Pathogen. And what do you got, Brody?

• 39:00Speaker 04

  I had tularemia, hantavirus, tried making hydrophobia work, valley fever, that didn't work.

• 39:07Speaker 03

  Answer. The correct answer is hantavirus. Oh! It's one word.

• 39:15Speaker 04

  Well, then you gotta give it to me.

• 39:16Speaker 03

  No.

• 39:20Speaker 04

  The hantavirus is not one, come on.

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Uh, here's that, the, the, the CDC hantavirus, that's one word there. Uh, Mayo Clinic, one word.

• 39:29Speaker 04

  Let's go to a tiebreaker.

• 39:30Speaker 05

  This is the news recently.

• 39:32Speaker 04

  Really?

• 39:33Speaker 05

  Like.

• 39:34Speaker 03

  Uh, in.

• 39:34Speaker 05

  Uh, let's get to.

• 39:35Speaker 03

  People that become infected with hantavirus when they breathe in particles of dried rodent droppings. The virus is carried by mice, rats and voles with about 100,000 people globally getting hantavirus each year. The states with the most cases are Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. It's believed that hantavirus is what killed Gene Hackman's wife earlier this year.

• 39:59Speaker 05

  We were just making jokes about, I always called it hantavirus.

• 40:03Speaker 03

  Oh, I could be wrong. I don't know that I'm right.

• 40:04Speaker 05

  We were just making jokes about that the other week when we were standing in a cabin.

• 40:07Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 40:08Speaker 05

  A lot of droppings.

• 40:08Speaker 03

  Brody, Brody elected to go with no answer instead of just keeping. I'm sorry, Brody. Hmm. I'll, I'll let you in.

• 40:15Speaker 04

  We're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil.

• 40:19Speaker 03

  Tiebreaker.

• 40:20Steven Rinella?

  Oh. You ain't first, you're last.

• 40:22Speaker 03

  Two out of three chance.

• 40:23Steven Rinella?

  I think just cut it at, if you ain't first, you're last. And then like go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, [BEEP] off, man.

• 40:31Speaker 03

  The tiebreaking topic is hunting. This will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Brody, Max and Alec will be declared the winner, but the other three players will play along as well because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Meat Deater will add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.

• 40:51Speaker 03

  What was the cash prize for winning the 2024 World Elk Calling Championship in the Professional Division?

• 41:02Speaker 03

  Hmm. What was the cash prize for winning the 2024 World Elk Calling Championship in the Professional Division? That competition took place about 30 miles from us in Big Sky, Montana.

• 41:16Speaker 05

  Hmm. So maybe it's more money than I thought.

• 41:19Speaker 03

  What was the cash prize for winning the 2024 World Elk Calling Championship in the Professional Division? Was the cabin you were staying in, did it have some mouse droppings around?

• 41:31Speaker 05

  Uh, it did.

• 41:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 41:33Speaker 05

  It did.

• 41:33Speaker 03

  And you said, ha ha, maybe one of us will get hantavirus and die.

• 41:37Speaker 05

  That's exactly how it went down.

• 41:41Speaker 05

  We kind of make that joke every time we stay at a Forest Service cabinet.

• 41:45Speaker 03

  What was the cash prize for winning the 2024 World Out Calling Championship in the professional division?

• 41:52Speaker 04

  It's a good reason not to do any sweeping. You can leave there and not feel bad about it because you don't want to get the dust flying.

• 41:59Speaker 03

  Closest to... Alec, do you have an answer? I do. Okay. Brody has his answer. Whiteboard is down, headphones are off. He's still thinking about that question 10. Max? Uh, yeah, I'll just stick with it. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying $10,000. Sarah says $125,000. Randall says $75,000. Our three players left. We have Alec saying $25,000. Max saying $30,000. Brody saying $10,000.

• 42:36Speaker 03

  We got kind of in the middle here. The correct answer. Oh my goodness. It's $5,000 making Brody the winner.

• 42:47Speaker 03

  With a cash prize of $10,000. Comes back and gets the victory anyway. Wow. That's a heartbreaker.

• 42:55Speaker 05

  Yeah. Five grand.

• 42:56Speaker 03

  That doesn't seem like enough.

• 42:57Speaker 05

  Barely covers your stay in Big Sky.

• 42:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. The competition is held annually by RMEF. Tony Gilbertson of Oregon was the winner, defeating 10-time champion Corey Jacobson and two-time champion Bo Brooks. Gilbertson was using his Tony Gilbertson Signature Phelps Call in the competition. $5,000 prize. Brody was the closest by doubling it for $10,000. So close. Brody, what are you going to do with your $500 donation this week?

• 43:26Speaker 04

  Let's just toss it in the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative.

• 43:29Speaker 03

  $500 going to the Meat Eater LAI. Max, is that the closest? No, you've won before. Alec, that's the closest you've come, right? That is the closest. How did it feel? What? How did it feel, Alec? Was that really defeating? Or were you like, uh, damn, that was nice? No, Brody deserved it. Yeah, he did. That's my standpoint. Oh, wow. If I would have won, I would have gave...

• 43:51Speaker 05

  Losers.

• 43:51Speaker 03

  I would have gave my...

• 43:53Speaker 05

  Winning to Brody.

• 43:54Speaker 04

  Max is a real gentleman.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. I'd like you two boys to be a little more worked up.

• 44:00Speaker 05

  I don't think that's gonna happen.

• 44:01Speaker 03

  You allow all this collaboration and then you're surprised when they're on good terms at the end of a game. The all time winningest player, Brody, adds victory 51 to his resume.

• 44:13Speaker 05

  One more.

• 44:14Speaker 03

  Join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 44:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, Brody.

• 44:21Speaker 03

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

• 44:34Steven Rinella?

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

• 44:39Steven Rinella?

  And he's an avid amateur. Rockhound.

• 44:46Steven 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. Cause that way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being good as new. I'm telling you, if you 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. A better help ad. I would like to formally request more storage space in my brain.

• 45:32Steven Rinella?

  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.
