2:43 Speaker 02 Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. I am not your host Spencer Newhart, but rather your guest host, Phil the Engineer, full legal name. Today, we're joined by Spencer, Brody, Cal, Randall, Nate, Max, Riva, and Corey. Hey, if you've never heard of Phil's trivia on Meat Eater Radio Live, you're in for a rude awakening bucko because normally this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Today, however, this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from the world of cinema. That's right. When the mice are away, the cheese will play. And there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners
3:26 Speaker 02 choosing. Now, you may be asking yourself, why is Phil hosting when Spencer, Brody, Randall, and Yanis are all here as well? Well, it's kind of a crazy story because last week I was having lunch with Spencer when the movie 127 Hours came up. Spencer, do you mind if I tell this story? Go for it. Okay. Well, you guys know. Aaron Ralston. Aaron Ralston. Starring James Franco. James Franco did Danny Boyle film. One who's gonna win this game. Based on a true story. A big boulder fell, got his arm pinned under the boulder. I was talking to Spencer. I was saying, hey, like, man, that'd be tough to do. I don't know. I think I might just die. I don't know if I could cut my own arm off. And Spencer piped in. He said he wouldn't have to cut his arm off if he were in that situation. And I said, you know, okay, I'll take the bait. What do you mean?
4:10 Speaker 02 And he told me he would just simply ask the rock to move. And after four seconds of awkward laughter, I realized he wasn't joking. And I said, Spencer, rocks are inanimate. They can't move of their own volition. They're lifeless. They don't have ears or a central nervous system required to respond to, you know, this sort of external stimuli. And Spencer just looked me in the eye and he said, don't act like you know them. He said, you fools will never understand them. I'll show you. I'll show all of you. He ran out of the office. It was nuts. I called Shelby and she told me that he packed a bag and said he was taking the next flight to Salt Lake City. Well, anyway, we put out a message to people in Utah who might be able to head down to Canyonlands and look for our guy. But we told them just to follow the scent of a burning Kasey Musgraves branded candle. Oh my God. Be sure to bring a bone saw.
4:52 Speaker 02 But lo and behold, they found Spencer, both arms intact, which makes me believe, I think he made a new friend down there, Spencer. Congratulations. We're all happy you made it back safe and sound. But amongst all that hubbub, we were scrambling to put a show together. You know, Brody and Randy were busy writing books. Yanis was zip tied to a treadmill, training for his next 500K or some shit. So naturally, the responsibility fell to me. I'm sorry.
5:17 Speaker 03 Awesome.
5:17 Speaker 02 This week's IFAQ comes from Tyler.
5:19 Speaker 03 Happened. It's not, it's not that it's the week before Christmas break and we have to bank a bunch of podcasts. And I just got my wisdom teeth out, so I didn't have a lot of time to write scripts.
5:28 Speaker 04 Oh, yes.
5:29 Speaker 03 I asked Phil. Yeah, that's not how it happened.
5:31 Speaker 04 So is this after the wisdom teeth?
5:33 Speaker 03 When was it, Phil? Yeah, it must've been after.
5:35 Speaker 04 Yes, the opioids, then explain.
5:38 Speaker 05 How was that for you?
5:40 Speaker 03 I was, it was pretty fine.
5:41 Speaker 05 Yeah, okay. How did you get out?
5:44 Speaker 03 Um, I, this is a weird story. Three, three of them, they started digging for the fourth and realized I didn't have a fourth. And they were looking at a different patient's x-ray. I'm done at that dentist.
5:56 Speaker 02 Drop the dentist's name.
5:57 Speaker 05 Don't draw him out.
5:58 Speaker 03 I was awake, yes.
6:00 Speaker 02 Isn't that noise when they yank them out? Awesome. Did you hear it?
6:03 Speaker 03 I, I said this to my wife. I was like, can I tell you about it? And she's like, no. But if she would have let me, I would have said it was really satisfying.
6:09 Speaker 02 Oh God, the noise it makes. You're like, because you can't feel it.
6:12 Speaker 03 I was not knocked out.
6:13 Speaker 04 Did you, did you keep the teeth?
6:16 Speaker 03 No, and I forgot to ask that. I went into it prepared to ask that question. I forgot to, so I don't have my wisdom teeth. I have mine in a bag with all my elk ivories. How'd you find out they were going off the other patients? The doctor came in and admitted it later. Hey, what a guy. Nah, we're done going to that dentist now, so I'm about to slack the Bozeman channel and say, hey, uh, does anyone have recommendations that aren't this place?
6:40 Speaker 05 I have one for you.
6:41 Speaker 03 Okay.
6:42 Speaker 05 Hopefully it's not the same one.
6:43 Speaker 04 Yeah, I need a dentist too.
6:45 Speaker 02 I got a good one.
6:46 Speaker 04 In about ten years.
6:47 Speaker 02 But I have fantastic teeth genes, so I don't need it.
6:51 Speaker 03 We also had a dentist win trivia one day, and I don't remember who that was, so maybe he's a dentist.
6:56 Speaker 04 Yeah.
6:57 Speaker 06 The guy who's killed like ten mountain goats.
6:59 Speaker 03 Oh, I thought you were gonna say patients.
7:00 Speaker 04 No.
7:01 Speaker 02 No lions.
7:03 Speaker 03 Phil, what else you got over there?
7:04 Speaker 02 Today's IFAQ comes from Tyler Rosser. Tyler writes, "We demand Phil playing video games on the company dime. There are threes of us." Wow, thanks Tyler. Is this a question? No. Is it infrequent? Yeah.
7:19 Speaker 02 Here's a story after I put out a tongue-in-cheek call to action on MeatEater Radio to write in and demand a MeatEater video game stream. Not one, not two, not three Tyler, but like ten of you wrote in.
7:30 Speaker 03 Wow.
7:31 Speaker 05 Ten Tyler's?
7:31 Speaker 02 I know. Uh, I just wanted to extend my thanks and tell you not to give up the fight, so I'm here today to make a second tongue-in-cheek call to action. You guys know that certain type of asshole on Twitter or wherever who will challenge someone to a bad faith debate by claiming that they'll donate money to some charity, you know, if, if they, if they accept the debate?
7:49 Speaker 03 Hmm.
7:49 Speaker 02 Um, well, hey, MeatEater C-suite suits, listen up. I would love to do a 24-hour charity stream to raise money for the MeatEater Land Access Initiative. I play the game Red Dead Redemption for 24 hours straight with fun benchmark goals and special guests. Oh, what's the matter? Are you scared? Do it! Hey, I thought you guys cared about public land around here.
8:11 Speaker 06 Phil, uh, Red Dead Redemption has some, uh, hunting in it.
8:15 Speaker 02 Yeah, can you hunt your land? Digital animals?
8:17 Speaker 03 We, we had a trivia question about it before. There's even a cutaway scene where you catch some poachers and you're, you get to decide what to do with them.
8:25 Speaker 06 What'd you do with them, Phil?
8:26 Speaker 04 Spencer let him go.
8:26 Speaker 03 I killed them.
8:27 Speaker 06 Oh, hang them.
8:28 Speaker 03 I killed them. Dead.
8:30 Speaker 05 No second chances.
8:31 Speaker 03 Phil, that's a good idea.
8:32 Speaker 02 Thank you, thank you. Well, uh, great. That was fantastic. Listen up. All you listeners have to do is write in to meat eater at the meat eater dot com and ask for it. Then get three friends to ask for it. And then they each get three friends to ask for it. And then I would think in one or two years tops, the name of this company is now Game Beater and Steve's worst nightmares come to fruition. So I'm counting on you, the listeners. It'll be a blast. We'll hunt virtual mountain lions, catch virtual channel cats and live out our cowboy fantasies as industrialization and the westward expansion slowly eat away at the last vestiges of our withering way of life. All for a good cause.
9:07 Speaker 03 That's good. How do you raise money in a 24 hour stream?
9:11 Speaker 02 Well, you kind of create like benchmark goals. Like so after a thousand bucks, I'll like, we'll add, we'll do something crazy like on the stream, like, you know, I'll take a shot of snake tequila or we'll make Steve play or I'll put on, or you know, I'll put on a costume or some shit, you know.
9:24 Speaker 04 It's like, well, it's like when people raise money, I'm running a 5K.
9:27 Speaker 03 Yeah, I don't know how that works though either.
9:29 Speaker 02 It's like a fun run.
9:30 Speaker 04 Well, it doesn't, I mean, there's no real logic behind it.
9:32 Speaker 02 Hmm. Yeah.
9:33 Speaker 04 Just an excuse.
9:34 Speaker 02 That's great. Yeah, anyway.
9:36 Speaker 03 That's a good idea.
9:37 Speaker 02 There's no housekeeping today. I feel like you gave away way too much of our internal process on how things get approved. Then you get three friends.
9:45 Speaker 03 Send a lot of.
9:45 Speaker 04 Public challenges to authority.
9:49 Speaker 02 Uh, well, here's the thing. The Adrian index for this game is a nine.
9:52 Speaker 03 Wow.
9:53 Speaker 02 So our winner should get nine correct answers.
9:56 Speaker 03 Four and a half.
9:57 Speaker 06 Are you sure it should be four and a half?
9:58 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah. It goes backwards. I don't think so. I've got faith in you. Uh, with that, we're on to our game of trivia. Play the drop, me.
10:09 Speaker 07 Power resides where men believe it resides.
10:12 Speaker 02 That's real good.
10:13 Speaker 05 You're doing great, Phil.
10:14 Speaker 07 It's a trick. A shadow on the wall.
10:23 Speaker 07 You're in the great game now and the great game is terrifying.
10:29 Speaker 03 I think Randall and Nate are the two to beat today.
10:33 Speaker 05 Yeah, I would agree. Nathaniel, according to his board.
10:35 Speaker 04 Yeah, I'm changing it up a little new Feng Shui.
10:39 Speaker 03 Very pop culture of you.
10:41 Speaker 02 All right. Our first three question round is called common denominator.
10:52 Speaker 02 I'm going to list three movies and I need you to write down the actor or actress that appeared in all three. Hopefully it'll make you go like that.
11:02 Speaker 02 The first films in this first batch are- I love that movie. That was a good one.
11:08 Speaker 02 Angels in the Outfield.
11:11 Speaker 02 Tropic Thunder.
11:14 Speaker 02 And Dazed and Confused. Which actor appeared in all three of these films?
11:21 Speaker 02 And I'm not trying to fake you out with like, oh, someone had a cameo or like was on set that day. And it's also not necessarily the lead actor trying to, you know, somewhere in the middle.
11:32 Speaker 03 Randall, do you have this one?
11:34 Speaker 04 I have an idea.
11:38 Speaker 03 Brody's got an answer.
11:41 Speaker 05 Angels in the Outfield is not for me. That's a good one.
11:49 Speaker 02 Again, the films are Angels in the Outfield, Tropic Thunder, and Dazed and Confused.
11:54 Speaker 05 I thought it was gonna be like the first cover photo and I was like, oh, I know that guy. Yeah, same. Perfect.
12:01 Speaker 02 Does everyone have an answer? No. No. Okay, okay. Let's talk it out. Let's talk it out.
12:07 Speaker 03 Oh, you got this, Cal?
12:08 Speaker 02 I'm ready to go.
12:10 Speaker 03 You have this one, right?
12:12 Speaker 02 I have no clue.
12:14 Speaker 04 He's ready to go, just leave.
12:16 Speaker 02 But I could name an actor that was in two out of the three of these. Nate, do you have any, uh, have you seen these movies? Any of these movies? Do you have any favorites?
12:24 Speaker 04 I'm ready to move on. Tropic Thunder is probably my favorite movie, but I haven't seen the other two.
12:34 Speaker 02 You haven't seen Dazed and Confused?
12:36 Speaker 04 Nope. Oh, there are, there are big gaps in my-
12:39 Speaker 03 It probably came out like 25 years before you were born, though.
12:43 Speaker 04 Yeah.
12:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, which means what?
12:45 Speaker 04 Does not give that as an excuse.
12:47 Speaker 06 Yeah, so did Cool Hand Luke, like came out, how, 60 years ago. Have you ever seen it?
12:52 Speaker 03 No.
12:53 Speaker 06 Oh my god.
12:54 Speaker 02 Great one. Great one.
12:56 Speaker 03 If you, if-
12:56 Speaker 06 Have you seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
12:58 Speaker 03 No, if you keep asking me these questions, you're gonna be real disappointed. It's gonna be no, no, no.
13:04 Speaker 06 I'm gonna give you a movie list, Spencer.
13:07 Speaker 02 Alright, how we feeling now? Real good. Real good. Alright. Let's go ahead and see those answers. I just want to point your boards at your respective cameras. We have Spencer saying Matthew McConaughey, Revo with no answer. Cal saying Matthew McConaughey. Randall saying Matthew McConaughey. Cory saying Matthew McConaughey. Nate saying...
13:29 Speaker 03 Jack Black.
13:30 Speaker 02 Jack Black. Max saying Will Ferrell. And Brody saying Ben Stiller.
13:37 Speaker 02 The correct answer is... Matthew McConaughey. Left side of the room did very well.
13:43 Speaker 04 We didn't get a Robert Downey Jr. from anyone.
13:45 Speaker 02 I made the mistake of reading that guy's, uh, book. God, it was bad. Read it or listen to it? I read it. Greenlight? Yeah, terrible.
13:55 Speaker 03 You read the whole thing?
13:57 Speaker 02 I mean, it's like 250 pages. I mean...
14:00 Speaker 04 And half of it just says "green light."
14:03 Speaker 02 Texas's own son Matthew McConaughey recently went viral after he shared his go-to tuna salad recipe on the podcast Two Bears One Cave, where he dubbed himself the tuna fish salad master maker. Going beyond the usual suspects like mayo, pickle juice, vinegar. His recipe also includes wasabi paste, Italian dressing, red onion, little mini dill gherkins, crispy jalapeno chips, apples, corn, and the kicker for me is frozen peas, specifically frozen. Uh, how do you guys feel about that dip? I'm in.
14:32 Speaker 04 Sounds fantastic.
14:33 Speaker 03 He also said it needs to sit for 24 hours. And then it gets better.
14:36 Speaker 02 I missed that part.
14:37 Speaker 03 So...
14:37 Speaker 02 There you go, so the peas would not stay frozen.
14:39 Speaker 03 You don't eat that one fresh.
14:40 Speaker 04 I would add the jalapeno chips at the end, so they don't absorb all the...
14:43 Speaker 02 Well, so these aren't, so these aren't like potato chips? They're sort of like crispy fried onions, but in jalapeno. Oh, yeah. Jalapenos instead of onions. Yep, I'm in. Anyway. The next batch of films.
14:59 Speaker 02 American Hustle. X-Men: First Class. And Silver Linings Playbook.
15:08 Speaker 02 Again, the films are American Hustle, X-Men: First Class, and Silver Linings Playbook. All fairly recent films.
15:19 Speaker 04 We, uh, we saw American Hustle in the theaters... With my in-laws and we walked out, my father-in-law said, "I hated that."
15:29 Speaker 02 I agree with your father-in-law.
15:31 Speaker 04 Well, he said, "I hate mysteries." And we said, "There weren't any mysteries. Those were just plot twists." But he was just frustrated by the experience. I think it was over Christmas break a few years ago.
15:41 Speaker 02 As soon as there's something that he can't track or follow, it frustrates, it makes him upset.
15:45 Speaker 04 Yeah.
15:46 Speaker 02 Okay.
15:48 Speaker 02 Hmm. What the hell's this guy's name?
15:51 Speaker 05 I'm thinking of the main guy.
15:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
15:55 Speaker 03 I've got it, I've got it down to two people. Can you repeat the question, Phil?
15:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah. So, one actor appeared in all three of these movies. American Hustle, X-Men: First Class, and Silver Linings Playbook. What the hell's that guy's name?
16:10 Speaker 03 Now, maybe this is a hint, but if it was... Don't say it.
16:14 Speaker 04 Say it.
16:14 Speaker 03 Yeah.
16:16 Speaker 02 I think I know where you're going, Spencer. And maybe there was some purposeful kind of, you know, misdirection going on around here.
16:25 Speaker 05 Take it easy.
16:26 Speaker 03 Um, okay.
16:29 Speaker 03 Hmm.
16:31 Speaker 05 Are you thinking?
16:34 Speaker 04 No.
16:36 Speaker 04 Just going with it.
16:37 Speaker 02 X-Men: First Class.
16:41 Speaker 02 What do you got there?
16:43 Speaker 03 I've seen zero of these movies.
16:45 Speaker 02 Neither have I. None of them.
16:46 Speaker 03 They're too recent for Brody.
16:49 Speaker 02 Yeah, just, yeah. I know.
16:53 Speaker 02 I've seen two out of the three.
16:54 Speaker 03 Okay.
16:57 Speaker 02 Oh! Oh!
17:01 Speaker 03 And?
17:02 Speaker 05 Time's up.
17:03 Speaker 02 I think I know the person. I just can't, I don't know the name of the person.
17:10 Speaker 03 Hmm.
17:11 Speaker 04 Draw them.
17:14 Speaker 04 Oh, yes. Spelling doesn't count. Just draw them.
17:18 Speaker 03 Randall and I were at the University of Michigan versus Texas Longhorns football game and Matthew McConaughey was on the field as he normally was and we were a stadium away, like a quarter mile away and you could tell that's Matthew McConaughey right there. He uh, he carries himself and dresses like no one else.
17:34 Speaker 05 Sure.
17:35 Speaker 03 In that 100,000 people person stadium.
17:38 Speaker 05 Oh, I thought there was gonna be like a shining beam on him the whole time.
17:41 Speaker 06 Philly, you seem like, uh, you seem like an X-Men guy. Uh, where does the X-Men first class rank in the, the millions of different X-Men movies?
17:49 Speaker 02 I'm not an X-Man guy at all, Brody. No, no.
17:53 Speaker 05 I'm surprised McConaughey was there at, in Michigan.
17:56 Speaker 03 He was there. In enemy territory. What does the X stand for?
18:00 Speaker 02 Xavier. Xavier.
18:02 Speaker 05 Duh. Doctor Xavier.
18:04 Speaker 02 School for gifted. Any more brain busters?
18:09 Speaker 03 I'm ready, I'm ready, bro.
18:10 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, how are we doing around here?
18:12 Speaker 04 I think we're good.
18:12 Speaker 02 We're good? Alright, go ahead and show me your answers. We have Spencer saying Jennifer Lawrence, crossed out Bradley Cooper. Riva wrote down Jennifer Lawrence. Cal says Jennifer Lawrence. Randall says Bradley Cooper. Cory says Jennifer Lawrence. Nate says Ryan Reynolds. Max says Daniel Spade? Definitely an actor? And Brody says Jennifer Lawrence. The correct answer is indeed Jennifer Lawrence.
18:48 Speaker 03 Yes.
18:48 Speaker 02 Yes. The Bradley Cooper was in two of those movies with Jennifer Lawrence, but he was not in X-Men first class.
18:54 Speaker 03 The question I was going to ask is if it was a woman, would you say actress or would you just say actor? And I'm glad Riva talked me out of asking.
19:02 Speaker 04 Yeah, she couldn't have won best actor for any of those performances by the standards of the Academy.
19:07 Speaker 02 Actor, actor is a gender neutral term.
19:09 Speaker 05 That, uh, was that a football movie?
19:12 Speaker 02 No.
19:13 Speaker 03 Silver Linings Playbook's like.
19:14 Speaker 02 But what she's talking about getting rid of the microwave, that was fantastic. Thank God for me.
19:22 Speaker 02 I think was the one. Everyone's got a great, a big accent.
19:24 Speaker 05 I'm gonna go home and watch all these films.
19:26 Speaker 02 Yes. On top of her archery skills that she put on display in the Hunger Games franchise, Lawrence also skinned and gutted a real squirrel for her breakout performance in the 2010 film, Winter's Bone. Quote, "I should say it wasn't real for PETA, but screw PETA," she quipped in a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone. And surprise, surprise, PETA responded, quote, "As Henry David Thoreau said, 'The squirrel you kill in jest dies in earnest. When people kill animals, it is the animals who are screwed, not PETA. And one day, I hope she will try to make up for any pain she might cause any animal who did nothing but try to eke out a humble existence in nature.'"
20:00 Speaker 03 Wow. I don't think that would talk me out of gutting a squirrel.
20:05 Speaker 02 I don't think it would, no. I hope it didn't for her.
20:08 Speaker 03 You know, a lot of people lump, like, Hunger Games in with, like, Twilight, but I don't think they're even close to the same.
20:14 Speaker 02 Oh, no, the Hunger Games movies are so much better.
20:15 Speaker 03 Anyone in this room could enjoy Hunger Games.
20:17 Speaker 02 Yeah.
20:17 Speaker 03 Good franchise.
20:18 Speaker 02 All right. Woody Harrelson's in Hunger, that guy's awesome.
20:22 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
20:23 Speaker 02 Last group of films. Here we go.
20:26 Speaker 05 Hopefully, it's easy.
20:28 Speaker 02 First movie is Road to Perdition.
20:30 Speaker 03 Well, I've never heard of that one.
20:33 Speaker 02 The Color of Money.
20:34 Speaker 05 No.
20:35 Speaker 02 And Pixar's Cars. Cars.
20:41 Speaker 05 Threw me for a loop there, bud.
20:44 Speaker 03 Huh.
20:44 Speaker 02 Road to Perdition, The Color of Money, and Cars.
20:51 Speaker 02 I don't know.
20:53 Speaker 03 Phil, was this fun for you to make?
20:56 Speaker 02 Uh, it was. It was a lot more work than I was expecting, so it just made me respect you and all the other guest hosts more.
21:02 Speaker 03 Oh, thank you.
21:04 Speaker 04 I know I've talked about The Road to Perdition on trivia before, and if I remember correctly, all of my references for the actors in that film were wrong. I believe you corrected all of my.
21:18 Speaker 02 I think I know, I think I know who you're talking about. There's just no way I'll remember his name.
21:24 Speaker 05 Uh, I was with, I was with Yanis last weekend and he's got an upcoming trivia. He's hosting a game or whatever. He was writing down trivia questions the whole weekend. He's like, "Oh, that's a good trivia question." So hopefully I'm on that episode and I'll just-
21:39 Speaker 03 There you go. That's the way to do it.
21:41 Speaker 04 Well, now that we know that, you will be kicked out of the room.
21:44 Speaker 06 You're a cheater after all.
21:45 Speaker 05 No, I'm not. My name got cleared.
21:48 Speaker 05 My name-
21:48 Speaker 04 Note to self-
21:49 Speaker 02 Max is right. Is this guy's name-
21:53 Speaker 03 That's the way to write an episode. A lot of people ask me how long it takes to write an episode, but I don't have a good answer because a lot of times I just think of something and I put it in my phone.
21:59 Speaker 05 Write it down.
22:00 Speaker 03 And then it winds up in a script later on.
22:03 Speaker 02 Alright, one more time. The movies are Road to Perdition, The Color of Money, and Cars. One actor or actress was in all three of these movies.
22:15 Speaker 03 Hmm. Have you seen all of these, Phil?
22:18 Speaker 02 I have, yeah.
22:19 Speaker 03 Rank them.
22:20 Speaker 02 Uh, I, I have not seen Road to Perdition in a long time, but at the time it, uh, that I did see it, I loved it. Um, so I'd say that's one, Color of Money, two, Cars, three. Probably the order I just put them in. Maybe that was subconscious. I don't know.
22:35 Speaker 03 Who would star in a movie Phil would?
22:37 Speaker 02 I like the other hitman. The, the villain hitman in Road to Perdition.
22:41 Speaker 06 Listen, you gotta stop giving away details about the movie. Like you might jar someone's memory.
22:46 Speaker 03 Ah.
22:47 Speaker 02 Well, you wanna know what I think of Color of Money?
22:51 Speaker 05 I do, yeah, please.
22:52 Speaker 06 Yeah, there are people, yeah, like-
22:54 Speaker 05 What?
22:55 Speaker 04 Yeah. Just put Mater.
22:57 Speaker 05 Oh, I was gonna put Lightning McQueen.
23:00 Speaker 04 Larry the Cable Man. Did you see my board?
23:05 Speaker 04 Sorry Phil, I just messed with this wire.
23:06 Speaker 02 Oh, that's fine. You ready? Just making sure we're good. Yeah, oh yeah, how we doing? We good? I think we're gonna call it.
23:11 Speaker 06 Are we flipping these things or not?
23:11 Speaker 02 Alright, go ahead and show me your answers. We have Spencer saying Owen Wilson, Riva saying Mater, Cal saying Paul Newman.
23:21 Speaker 05 Don't even know who that is.
23:22 Speaker 02 Randall saying Paul Newman.
23:23 Speaker 06 Who just said they don't own Paul Newman?
23:25 Speaker 05 Me.
23:27 Speaker 02 Corey saying Tom Hanks.
23:28 Speaker 05 Serious.
23:29 Speaker 02 Nate saying Owen Wilson, Max saying oh for three. Yep, he's right.
23:34 Speaker 05 That's my score.
23:35 Speaker 02 And Brody saying Paul Newman. The correct answer is indeed Paul Newman! You don't know his fantastic line of salad dressings?
23:46 Speaker 06 Yes, go to the grocery store.
23:48 Speaker 05 Oh, that Newman?
23:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
23:50 Speaker 05 I don't like his ranch, so that explains it.
23:52 Speaker 03 Is that actually him?
23:53 Speaker 02 It is, yeah.
23:54 Speaker 03 Oh, I thought that was just a coincidence.
23:56 Speaker 06 He said that, that was around when he was still alive.
23:59 Speaker 02 Sorry, I'm ruining Phil's script here. Phil, in contrast with Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Newman actually had an obituary published by PETA following his death in 2008 titled "Paul Newman: Remembered as Friend to Animals", due to his philanthropic Newman Zone brand, which produced several vegan products and directed money towards animal protection organizations. Alright.
24:21 Speaker 05 I don't eat that anymore.
24:22 Speaker 02 Our next three-round, three-question round is called Smilu-Noje, or Skirting the Copyright. Hold on, let me explain. For this round, I'm going to play you the chorus of three iconic John Williams penned movie themes, and you need to tell me the movie or franchise that the theme is from. Ah, that sounds kinda too easy, right?
24:43 Speaker 03 You're gonna play it backwards.
24:44 Speaker 02 Oh, well.
24:47 Speaker 03 He sang it.
24:48 Speaker 02 Great question, Randall. I am going to be playing these theme songs backwards. The audio is going to be reversed. Let's see your algorithm find me now, G-Men.
24:58 Speaker 03 Backmasking.
25:00 Speaker 02 Alright.
25:01 Speaker 03 Oh, this is great.
25:02 Speaker 02 The first theme, you need to tell me the movie or franchise. I will accept franchise that this theme song is from. Ready? Here we go.
25:29 Speaker 03 I want someone to play this at my funeral.
25:31 Speaker 05 Backmasking is... Doesn't sound too bad.
25:33 Speaker 03 Is the devil's music, Phil.
25:35 Speaker 02 Alright, let's play that one more time, shall we?
25:37 Speaker 05 It doesn't sound too bad.
25:59 Speaker 03 Phil, if you had to guess, is this gonna get copyright dinged?
26:02 Speaker 02 I don't think so.
26:03 Speaker 03 It's a chance.
26:04 Speaker 02 No. Yeah, well. Yeah, they're, they're-
26:07 Speaker 04 This is a brilliant segment, Phil.
26:08 Speaker 03 This is clever.
26:09 Speaker 02 They've caught on to a lot of those put- those, uh, those uploads people do where they just like reverse the image and pitch down the audio a half step or whatever. But I, I think we're fine.
26:17 Speaker 03 You kinda came up with this idea?
26:19 Speaker 02 Yeah.
26:20 Speaker 03 Yeah. Very good.
26:23 Speaker 02 How we feeling, room?
26:24 Speaker 04 Good.
26:24 Speaker 03 Great.
26:25 Speaker 02 Alright, go ahead. Reveal your answers.
26:27 Speaker 05 No!
26:28 Speaker 02 We have Spencer saying Jurassic Park, Reva saying Jurassic Park, Cal saying Jurassic Park, Randall saying Jurassic Park, Corey saying Jurassic Park, Nate saying Jurassic Park, Max saying Star Wars, and Brody saying Jurassic Park. The correct answer is Jurassic Park.
26:43 Speaker 05 I might as well leave that on the board, though, for the next question.
26:45 Speaker 02 Spencer jinxed ya. You know, I said it was a hundred percenter.
26:48 Speaker 04 No. Now, Phil, is this the actual, is this the actual poster, or did you take a photo of the VHS tape in my office?
26:55 Speaker 02 Oh, that's the actual poster. You guys wanna keep talking about that for about five seconds while I get everyone's scores? And adventure 65 million years.
27:01 Speaker 05 Last time every, everyone in the room got a answer right, and I didn't, I was the only person to get the next question right.
27:08 Speaker 03 Oh, wow.
27:09 Speaker 05 Wash out, man.
27:10 Speaker 03 Maybe, maybe again.
27:11 Speaker 02 That was a big day.
27:12 Speaker 03 Also, I think the number is 66 million years. Jurassic Park? They just went for either the nice wrong, nice round number, or they're wrong.
27:21 Speaker 02 Mm. Former Bozeman, Montana resident and curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies, Jack Horner served as a dinosaur consultant on all of the Jurassic Park films and provided the inspiration for the Sam Neill character, Dr. Alan Grant. To hear more about how Horner is tired of talking about Jurassic Park, check out episode 301 of the Meat Eater Podcast titled "It Ain't Just Chickens That Are Dinosaurs."
27:41 Speaker 03 And I put him on the spot on that episode and said, "Hey, what would it take for a guy to get to go digging with you?" And then he didn't really answer. And so then I asked him again, and then he's like, "Well, I guess you could just email me." So I emailed him, and he didn't answer. And then I emailed him again, and he did answer, and he kind of gave me a hap- hazard invite, uh, to which I said, "I'm, I'm coming." And then I went and I dug for dinosaurs with him.
28:04 Speaker 02 Awesome.
28:05 Speaker 05 Nice.
28:05 Speaker 03 Kind of against his will. He, uh, he wasn't-
28:08 Speaker 02 That's great.
28:08 Speaker 04 Yeah, I was gonna say, he gave you a pretty-
28:10 Speaker 05 Clear answer. Twice, maybe three times.
28:13 Speaker 03 Yep.
28:14 Speaker 02 All right, let's listen to the next theme played in reverse.
28:35 Speaker 02 One more time, because it sounds so lovely.
28:43 Speaker 04 What you got there, buddy?
28:47 Speaker 05 Did I get it?
28:52 Speaker 03 Phil, is cinema specifically your strong suit in pop culture?
28:56 Speaker 02 Uh, I mean, no, actually, not, not really. You know, I'm not, I went to film school, but I'm not like deep in the lore and the history of the film historians. There are a lot of real dorks out there that whom I respect a great deal.
29:11 Speaker 04 But this is probably your most accessible.
29:13 Speaker 02 Yes, yes. For those who haven't heard what I've been doing on radio live, as I've been doing, like a third movies, a third music, and a third video games. I mixed it up today. It's all, all, all movies.
29:25 Speaker 03 Have you guys seen the new Jeopardy, the pop culture Jeopardy hosted by Colin Jost?
29:31 Speaker 03 Shelby and I watched the first episode, and I said it's three person teams. I said a good team would be her, Phil, and Randall. So Phil and Randall, you guys could go, I assume, to LA.
29:43 Speaker 04 Let's get on that.
29:43 Speaker 03 And you guys could, uh, you could leave Shelby out of it, too. You guys would be good.
29:50 Speaker 03 Jeopardy pop culture. No, she, she covers things I don't know.
29:53 Speaker 05 Okay. But you cover things she doesn't know?
29:55 Speaker 03 Yeah, but I think those things Randall would know. So there'd be a lot of overlap with me and Randall.
30:00 Speaker 02 It's like they're, we're looking at their wedding vows right now.
30:04 Speaker 03 That's right.
30:05 Speaker 02 All right, how we feeling?
30:07 Speaker 03 We were attracted to each other based on our lack of overlap in pop culture.
30:12 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Spencer saying Indiana Jones. Reva saying Indiana Jones. Cal saying Indiana Jones. Randall saying Indiana Jones. Corey saying Indiana Jones. Nate sang Star Wars, Mac sang Titanic, that is James Horner, and Brody sang Star Wars. The correct answer is...
30:35 Speaker 05 Still slapped.
30:36 Speaker 02 I'm sorry, Matt, it's just so fun.
30:39 Speaker 05 It's okay, I'm used to it.
30:40 Speaker 02 Raiders of the Lost Ark or Indiana Jones. Great job, team.
30:44 Speaker 04 Boy, what a hunky drawing there.
30:47 Speaker 02 During the scene in the Well of Souls when Indiana and Marion are trapped in a room full of snakes, producers supplemented the genuinely dangerous cobras and pythons with glass snakes, or Ophosaurus, uh, legless lizards that can be indistinguishable from snakes at a distance. Quote, "Those literally could, or those literally you could pick up and put on your lap," actress Karen Allen told The Today Show in 2023. "I remember sticking my finger in their mouths just to prove to myself that they were as harmless as I was being told they were, and they were indeed fairly harmless."
31:14 Speaker 05 Really?
31:15 Speaker 02 You have any, uh, facts about that animal, glass lizards? Anyone know?
31:19 Speaker 05 Nope.
31:20 Speaker 04 They just look like snakes.
31:21 Speaker 05 Nope.
31:21 Speaker 02 They do look like snakes, yeah.

34:13 Speaker 02 All right. Last question in this round. Listen up.
34:18 Speaker 05 Come on.
34:30 Speaker 05 Have I wrote this answer down yet, Phil?
34:32 Speaker 02 No.
34:32 Speaker 05 No hints, Max.
34:38 Speaker 02 One more time.
34:53 Speaker 02 I don't know.
34:57 Speaker 05 Yeah, you do.
34:58 Speaker 04 This is, uh, I took a music class in college and we listened to a lot of stuff that sounded like this played forward.
35:10 Speaker 02 It sounds like a college music class.
35:11 Speaker 04 Yeah.
35:12 Speaker 02 Yeah.
35:14 Speaker 02 This one seems to be a stumper a little bit. Does anyone feel confident?
35:17 Speaker 04 No.
35:18 Speaker 03 Yeah, I feel kinda confident.
35:19 Speaker 04 I'm confident.
35:20 Speaker 03 I'm surprised at how similar these sound, uh, but when you hear backmasking of like AC/DC, uh, it's, you have no idea what you're hearing. Apparently the words are the big hang.
35:29 Speaker 02 A lot of his scores, especially the ones that were written around the same time, sound very similar. He definitely worked in modes throughout his career. And also a lot of his stuff kinda uses similar themes.
35:40 Speaker 04 I thought the timpani in the Jurassic Park theme song was just a dead giveaway. Right at the end of that clip you play, that timpani comes in and, oh, God.
35:49 Speaker 03 Sounds like a music, sounds like you took a music class in college, Randall?
35:53 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah.
35:56 Speaker 02 All right. Wow. I feel, I feel good about this one.
36:01 Speaker 04 Oh, I just got marker on.
36:02 Speaker 03 Are there 10 questions, Phil?
36:03 Speaker 02 There are 10. We have four more after this. I'm going to do a scoreboard update after this question.
36:08 Speaker 04 Corey, in the future, when you, when you leave your uncapped marker in my presence, please don't put it point up like this. Now I have to wash my hands.
36:18 Speaker 02 God forbid.
36:18 Speaker 04 For the first time today?
36:22 Speaker 02 All right. I'm gonna wrap it up here. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Spencer saying Harry Potter, Reva saying Harry Potter, Cal saying ET, Randall saying Star Wars, Corey saying Star Wars, Nate saying Harry Potter.
36:45 Speaker 02 Max saying Tommy Boy. Your closest one yet. Brody saying Harry Potter. The correct answer is? Harry Potter.
36:54 Speaker 03 How was that close?
36:56 Speaker 02 I was being facetious.
37:00 Speaker 02 The actual title of this song is Hedwig's Theme, named for Harry's snowy owl that appears in the first book and movie. Sure. After some inaccuracies were pointed out in her description of the owl's behavior, Potter author J.K. Rowling responded, quote, "I made a few elementary mistakes when it came to my depiction of Hedwig. Firstly, snowy owls are diurnal, they fly by day. Secondly, they are virtually mute, so Hedwig's frequent hoots and chirps of approval and comfort should be taken as signs of her magically enhanced abilities. Thirdly, as countless well-meaning owl lovers and experts keep writing into me, in the early days, owls do not eat bacon. Because Harry would feed her bacon all the time." I bet an owl would eat bacon.
37:38 Speaker 03 Sure. Phil, are you a fantastic beast fan?
37:41 Speaker 02 I like the first movies, the other ones are not good.
37:44 Speaker 03 Couldn't that owl just have been a fantastic beast? Wouldn't that have been clean?
37:49 Speaker 02 Yeah, probably.
37:49 Speaker 03 Yeah. Then she wouldn't have had complaints.
37:51 Speaker 02 God, there's so many ways for me to weigh in on this conversation.
37:56 Speaker 03 Next question, please.
37:57 Speaker 02 Keep the timeline short, I'll just not. Well, that's about halfway through the game, maybe a little over. Don't worry, I'm not gonna keep you here for too long. Let's look at the scoreboard really quick. Maximilian, you have zero points.
38:09 Speaker 05 Yeah, thank you.
38:10 Speaker 02 I'm glad you're here, though. I always love seeing you.
38:11 Speaker 05 Oh, I love providing comedic relief.
38:14 Speaker 02 Nate has two points. Riva, Cory, and Brody all have four points apiece, and tied up in first place are Spencer and Randall.
38:23 Speaker 04 Well- Phil, are you sure that I have five points?
38:26 Speaker 02 I'm pretty-
38:27 Speaker 03 There's been six questions.
38:29 Speaker 02 And Cal, yeah, there have been six questions.
38:31 Speaker 04 Oh, I've gotten more than one wrong.
38:33 Speaker 02 Have you?
38:34 Speaker 04 Yeah.
38:34 Speaker 02 I don't think you have.
38:35 Speaker 04 The Harry Potter and the Jennifer Lawrence.
38:37 Speaker 02 Now, there's an honest man for ya. Okay, thank you so much. See, this is-
38:41 Speaker 03 Four points.
38:42 Speaker 02 The one-man show is falling apart.
38:43 Speaker 05 I've never been a liar on this show.
38:45 Speaker 02 There you are. I appreciate that, really.
38:46 Speaker 04 I might have even gotten another one wrong, but let's just stick with that.
38:49 Speaker 03 Did you get Indiana Jones?
38:51 Speaker 04 Yes. And Jurassic Park.
38:53 Speaker 03 Okay.
38:53 Speaker 02 Cool. Appreciate it. Well, our final round-
38:56 Speaker 03 Matthew McConaughey?
38:57 Speaker 02 Will consist of four questions and is titled, Posting on Main. I feel like Harry Potter after you have Indiana Jones. Under your belt is just like. I'm spawning it in. I'm spanning generations here, Cal.
39:12 Speaker 03 That's right.
39:14 Speaker 02 It's like down market, uh, Williams.
39:17 Speaker 05 You look a little sunburnt there, Randall.
39:19 Speaker 04 Yeah, and I actually photoshopped a bunch of milt out of this photo.
39:23 Speaker 03 Oh, you did?
39:24 Speaker 04 Yeah, there's a stream of milt all down my belly and leg from this fish.
39:28 Speaker 02 It looks seamless. So double tap that screen. I'm not talking about that kind of post. I'm going to show you a cropped and zoomed in portion of an iconic movie poster. And I need you to tell me what movie you believe the poster is advertising. Um, I did not write any follow up factoids to half acidly tie these moves into our four verticals this time, but the theme of my images is eyes and animals have eyes, right?
39:51 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, some of them do.
39:52 Speaker 02 There you go. So it's good. The first photo.
40:01 Speaker 02 What movie?
40:04 Speaker 02 Is this image from? What movie poster? The movie poster for the movie.
40:11 Speaker 02 Uh, we will not be accepting the actor.
40:15 Speaker 02 And, um, can, does anyone? What's the point of this? I think I wasn't paying attention. It's cinema, Cal.
40:22 Speaker 03 What poster is that from?
40:23 Speaker 04 It's a cropped.
40:24 Speaker 03 It's a zoomed in.
40:26 Speaker 02 And are the words accurate on it?
40:28 Speaker 05 Yeah, what's the words?
40:29 Speaker 04 No, he added those.
40:29 Speaker 02 The words are a part of the poster. The words are a part of the poster.
40:33 Speaker 04 They have eyes and animals have eyes.
40:35 Speaker 05 I think I got a good answer.
40:37 Speaker 02 Does someone want to describe what we're looking at for the audio listeners?
40:40 Speaker 06 So it says.
40:41 Speaker 03 Looks like, uh.
40:42 Speaker 06 Five million friends.
40:43 Speaker 02 Five hundred.
40:46 Speaker 04 Wrong again, Max.
40:48 Speaker 03 Uh, looks like a Caucasian male about 24 years old.
40:53 Speaker 05 Are those brown or hazel eyes?
40:54 Speaker 06 I think they're blue.
40:55 Speaker 03 Uh, I, I think he's kind of got a Mona Lisa thing going on.
40:58 Speaker 04 Piercing eyes.
40:59 Speaker 03 We don't know if he's smiling, frowning, angry.
41:00 Speaker 04 And we can only see him from the mid of his forehead to just below the tip of his nose. Maybe even just intersecting with the tip of his nose, the, the bottom border of our photo here.
41:11 Speaker 03 And if you want to play along, you should go check out the me, Dieter Podcast Network YouTube channel.
41:16 Speaker 02 Thank you, Spencer.
41:17 Speaker 03 Phil's beautifully cropped work.
41:19 Speaker 02 Boy, I feel like there's a lot of resemblance between this dude and Phil.
41:22 Speaker 06 My answer's already down. Like you're the last person I'm going to steal an answer from, buddy.
41:29 Speaker 05 When you're in need, you're going to look at, over at my answers can be right.
41:33 Speaker 02 All right. Let's see those answers. We have Spencer saying the social network. Reva without an answer, Cal without an answer, Randall saying the social network, Cory saying Star Wars, Nate saying the social network, Max saying inception, and Brody saying the social network. The correct answer is the social network.
41:57 Speaker 05 I thought it was Anakin Skywalker.
41:58 Speaker 02 Close.
41:59 Speaker 05 I thought that was Adam Zuckerberg first.
42:01 Speaker 02 Zombie Land would have been way better for that guy.
42:03 Speaker 04 That was not the face I was expecting, the mouth expression.
42:06 Speaker 02 Jesse Eisenberg. It's a great poster, great trailer.
42:09 Speaker 03 You don't get the 500 million friends.
42:11 Speaker 02 Jesse Eisenberg, or Mark Zuckerberg.
42:13 Speaker 03 Without making a few enemies.
42:15 Speaker 02 Alright, the next photo.
42:22 Speaker 02 We are looking at a half of a pair of aviator-style glasses, very reflective, some sort of lit skyline moving in the reflection of the glasses.
42:32 Speaker 04 And the image is distorted, is it not, Phil?
42:35 Speaker 02 It's a little distorted, it's a little warped, it's kind of twisted, I would say, Randall.
42:37 Speaker 03 Did you distort it?
42:39 Speaker 02 I did not distort it, no, I know. This is pulled from the movie poster. Why was everybody so into the social network? I mean, that doesn't...
42:49 Speaker 03 The 500 million friends gave it away, I didn't know.
42:52 Speaker 05 Figured it was the star.
42:53 Speaker 02 I was thinking maybe like, remember Arachnophobia? That was a good movie.
43:00 Speaker 02 A lot of bugs, a lot of bugs out there.
43:04 Speaker 05 That dude from Friends who just died was in that movie, wasn't he? Perry?
43:07 Speaker 02 Matthew Perry. Was he? In Arachnophobia?
43:10 Speaker 05 Never saw it, but I'm pretty sure.
43:11 Speaker 02 John Goodman's in there, crushing it as usual. Great movie.
43:16 Speaker 04 God, I loved him in The Flintstones.
43:19 Speaker 05 I think they're making a second Flintstones, do you hear that?
43:21 Speaker 04 No.
43:22 Speaker 05 I just made it up.
43:23 Speaker 02 Alright, how we doing?
43:24 Speaker 05 Great.
43:24 Speaker 02 You guys ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Spencer, who crossed out many sort of, uh, carv- fast-moving related movies.
43:34 Speaker 03 Crossed out Gone in 60 Seconds and Rush Hour.
43:36 Speaker 02 And wrote down Fast and Furious, Reva wrote down Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Cal wrote down Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Randall, Fear and Loathing.
43:44 Speaker 05 Not enough.
43:45 Speaker 02 Cory, Fear and Loathing. Nate, Fight Club, Max, Top Gun, and Brody, Bright Lights, Big City. Correct answer is...
43:56 Speaker 02 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
43:58 Speaker 03 Damn.
43:58 Speaker 02 Aviators, Top Gun, I get it. Yep. Yeah.
44:02 Speaker 03 That's a good one.
44:03 Speaker 05 I was so confident.
44:04 Speaker 02 Trailer breadcrumbs. Next image.
44:09 Speaker 05 Hmm.
44:10 Speaker 02 Whoa.
44:11 Speaker 05 A little freaky.
44:12 Speaker 02 Little freaky?
44:13 Speaker 03 You know this, Max?
44:14 Speaker 05 Maybe.
44:16 Speaker 02 So this is sort of like a, like a, it's kind of like a dot matrix, sort of like, just a bunch of dots that look like a creepy pair of eyes on a, on a yellow background.
44:26 Speaker 02 Maybe a title.
44:27 Speaker 05 First thing that came to my mind, so I wrote it down.
44:30 Speaker 04 What you got?
44:31 Speaker 05 Ah, a Brody Mike.
44:33 Speaker 04 Oh, that's right.
44:35 Speaker 03 Hmm.
44:40 Speaker 05 What movie's that?
44:42 Speaker 04 I don't.
44:43 Speaker 05 Oh, you guys.
44:46 Speaker 04 I don't think you're right, Max. Sorry.
44:48 Speaker 05 I don't think either one of you are.
44:48 Speaker 04 I don't think I'm right.
44:51 Speaker 05 What makes you say that, Randall?
44:53 Speaker 04 Just.
44:53 Speaker 05 My record?
44:54 Speaker 04 No, just the, your answer.
44:57 Speaker 05 Did you look at it?
44:58 Speaker 04 Yeah. It was plainly visible.
45:01 Speaker 03 Looks like the cover of a Radiohead album. Hmm.
45:06 Speaker 02 Yeah, I can see that.
45:06 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
45:07 Speaker 05 Huh.
45:07 Speaker 03 Hmm.
45:08 Speaker 02 The bends.
45:09 Speaker 05 Yes.
45:11 Speaker 02 I don't know.
45:12 Speaker 05 Shoot.
45:17 Speaker 03 Yellow.
45:18 Speaker 02 Stumped room. I know, I, when I first made this round, I thought it was too easy, so I replaced some of them, and now, I don't know, maybe I should have gone back to the other one.
45:24 Speaker 05 That's just right.
45:25 Speaker 02 Now, you're, you're separating. You guys are doing pretty well. You're moving the spread.
45:30 Speaker 03 Hmm. Were you impressed with Adrian, or did you think that nine was what she would get?
45:34 Speaker 02 Adrian! Um, I, you know, I was thinking eight or nine, honestly. I thought, I thought nine was, I thought she would get eight.
45:40 Speaker 03 Is this one she missed?
45:41 Speaker 02 Nine was solid. She got this one correct.
45:43 Speaker 03 Shit.
45:44 Speaker 02 Hmm. And about a half, this is, this is one of her fastest ones. So, girls know this. Yes, that is what we can draw from this information. Or as Yanni would say, the female mind.
45:57 Speaker 03 Hmm.
45:59 Speaker 02 What do girls? Girls do it their spare time.
46:05 Speaker 02 Alright, I'm gonna wrap it up here in a couple seconds.
46:10 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Spencer saying The Shining. Ooh, Riva saying The Shining. Cal's saying Where the Wild Things Are. Randall's saying The.
46:22 Speaker 04 Yeah, he's gonna write The Shining.
46:24 Speaker 02 Yeah, probably. Corey without an answer. Nate saying Chucky. Max saying Kill Bill. And Brody saying Silence of the Lambs. Correct answer is... The Shining.
46:37 Speaker 03 Hell yeah, Riva.
46:39 Speaker 05 Nice job, guys.
46:40 Speaker 04 Nicely done.
46:41 Speaker 02 Wow, I haven't seen that, um, poster.
46:44 Speaker 05 No, same.
46:45 Speaker 03 Yeah, that, that looks fake to me.
46:47 Speaker 02 That was the very real poster. Alright.
46:50 Speaker 04 So that was just a wild guess for you?
46:51 Speaker 03 It was like the, uh, like the face. Yeah, exactly.
46:54 Speaker 04 Sure.
46:55 Speaker 02 That's cool.
46:56 Speaker 03 Like what, what he does when he breaks through the, or when he's trying to come through the door. That was the only thing I could think of.
47:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, I don't know what this is supposed to be recalling. It's, looks like a kind of a creepy baby when there, there are no creepy babies in The Shining.
47:07 Speaker 03 It also looked like seventies, or whenever that came out.
47:10 Speaker 02 The book is, is super creepy. The movie's fantastic. Creepy too, but... Last scoreboard update here. Max has zero points. Nate's got three. I think this is correct, but if you guys have been keeping your own score, um, I, there, very possible probable chance that I screwed up, but, um, we got Brody and Corey with five points apiece, Riva and Cal with six, as well as Randall. And in first place, our illustrious host, Spencer Newhart, he has seven points.
47:38 Speaker 04 And no one can catch Adrian.
47:40 Speaker 02 No one can catch Adrian. Congratulations. Proud of you.
47:45 Speaker 02 Alright, final question. Final image, I should say.
47:52 Speaker 02 I made this one very difficult on purpose, hoping that maybe there'd be one or two of you that might pull it out.
48:02 Speaker 02 I could pull an audible and show the, the original one I was going to do.
48:05 Speaker 03 I would like nobody to get this right, so I can just win.
48:10 Speaker 05 Do it for me, Phil.
48:11 Speaker 03 Phil declared before the episode that he didn't have a tiebreaker, and then he came up with one.
48:15 Speaker 04 Phil, have I seen this movie?
48:16 Speaker 03 Don't tell him.
48:18 Speaker 04 Has anyone in this room seen this movie?
48:20 Speaker 02 I, yeah. I would, I would, I would say that probably through, at least three of you have seen this movie.
48:26 Speaker 03 Hmm.
48:27 Speaker 05 Oh, wow.
48:32 Speaker 02 I didn't go, I didn't reach into the annals of some weird 1950's like, you know, B-movie. This was a, this was a critically acclaimed, thought to be a modern masterpiece.
48:42 Speaker 03 Hmm, that's enough, Phil.
48:43 Speaker 05 Yeah, did it win any awards?
48:45 Speaker 03 That's enough.
48:48 Speaker 05 Hold on, give us a heads up too, when you're about to ding that ding.
48:50 Speaker 02 We're looking at a sort of, uh, I don't even know how to describe this. It's kind of like, um, there's a pair of female eyes, some, some eye shadow. She's, she's looking.
49:00 Speaker 03 Thin eyebrows.
49:01 Speaker 05 Very thin eyebrows.
49:02 Speaker 02 Thin eyebrows, some sort of, I don't, I don't know what's around her head. Is it hair? Is it something else? There's no way to tell.
49:08 Speaker 03 Hmm, interesting.
49:09 Speaker 02 Oh, Phil.
49:11 Speaker 03 Giving out more hands.
49:13 Speaker 02 I don't know.
49:15 Speaker 02 Shit.
49:17 Speaker 03 Hmm.
49:20 Speaker 03 Brody's the only one old enough to have seen this movie, so that's not really fair.
49:29 Speaker 05 A modern masterpiece.
49:31 Speaker 03 Spencer, do you know it? No, I have no idea.
49:33 Speaker 05 I don't even know what that movie is. Good. You haven't seen this one? No. Oh, that's one you should go watch.
49:37 Speaker 02 Nate, can I see your answer? Hmm, hmm, okay.
49:41 Speaker 05 I'll save it.
49:43 Speaker 02 I saw it. Alright, how we doing? We're gonna wrap it up here.
49:48 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Spencer says Gong with the Wind. Reva says The Great Gatsby. Cal says Chicago. Randall without an answer. Corey says Night at the Roxbury. Nate says Monty Python on the Holy Grail. Max says The Sound of Music and Brody does not have an answer. The correct answer is Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson. How many of you have seen Chinatown?
50:10 Speaker 06 I've seen. Nope. It is a modern masterpiece. You had two Jack Nicholson movies in there.
50:16 Speaker 05 Back to back.
50:17 Speaker 02 I did. Well, with that last question, that makes Spencer our winner.
50:22 Speaker 03 Hell yeah.
50:24 Speaker 02 Wow.
50:25 Speaker 03 Nice job, Spence.
50:27 Speaker 02 And now it's, all that's left to do is to choose an organization you'd like to donate these, this $500 to.
50:32 Speaker 03 That was fun, Phil.
50:33 Speaker 02 Thank you so much. I feel like it ended on kind of a down note.
50:37 Speaker 03 That was a hard one. I never.
50:38 Speaker 02 It was a hard one.
50:38 Speaker 03 I'm going to donate my $500 to the North American Sturgeon Paddlefish Society. They're right here in Bozeman. They specifically study and fund studies and do public outreach about two of my favorite fish in the world, um, sturgeon, specifically pallid sturgeon and the American paddlefish. Um, a lot of listeners will never catch one of them or see one of them, but if, like me, it just makes you happy knowing that they exist out there in American waterways. Uh, that's a group that you should consider supporting the North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish Society. We're going to send $500 their way and that's a new organization that we've donated to.
51:17 Speaker 06 Awesome. Very nice. Beautiful.
51:18 Speaker 02 I bet they have some thoughts on irrigation and the Yellowstone.
51:23 Speaker 04 And none of them have seen China down.
51:26 Speaker 02 That'll do it for this week's episode of Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
51:32 Speaker 05 Thanks, Phil.
51:33 Speaker 03 That was good.
51:34 Speaker 07 Good job. What a pro. Yeah, Spence from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.
51:49 Speaker 07 And he likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks.
51:53 Speaker 07 And he's an amateur. Rockhound.
52:01 Steven Rinella? I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor. Get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of a set.

53:21 Speaker 05 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, an irrational worry you know doesn't deserve this much attention, the conversation with your boss you keep rehearsing in the shower, or that one comment someone made that you're still thinking about weeks later. We don't always get to choose what sticks around in our heads. BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that gives you space
