  Listen, we're all trying to save up for something. I got buddies saving up to buy their new house. I got people eyeing a new boat. I know buddies that are trying to switch out trucks and get an upgrade in their truck. Whatever, people are always saving up for stuff. In reality, though, we see that it can be hard to actually save money. But that's what's great about the One Pay app. It makes saving money easy. First, you earn 3% cash back on up to $150 in monthly spending. You choose categories, okay, like Walmart, gas, or dining, and then get rewarded when you spend in those categories. So you're rewarded for what you're already buying. And with high-yield savings, your money keeps growing.

  When you're miles deep in the mountains and carrying everything you need on your back, your boots aren't gear you think about, they're what you depend on. That's why Western hunters trust Zamborland. And man, I'm telling you, I've been running around in some Zamborlands. They are so comfortable and just well-built and feel great in the hills. Family-owned and handcrafted in Italy through three generations. Zamborland boots combine nearly a century of bootmaking expertise with premium materials and new innovations for any pursuit, game, and terrain. They're comfortable, supportive, resolable, and built for the long haul. From rocky desert to steep shale slopes, Zamborland's perfected their craft to ensure your success.

• 1:50Steven Rinella?

  Head to zamborlandusa.com for handcrafted boots for every season. Zamborlandusa.com You're gonna love getting your feet into a set of these. I get sent all kinds of products and snacks and the truth is, most of them come and go. Every once in a while, though, I find something I keep reaching for and Wiley Wallaby is one of those things. I first tried it because someone just handed me a bag and said, "This isn't like any other kind of licorice you've had before," and they were right. Wiley Wallaby makes authentic Australian-style licorice that's incredibly soft and chewy. It's not like that weird, tough, waxy, cheap junk you get, and it doesn't have that artificial taste that turns a lot of people away from licorice in the first place. It's one of those products that's

• 2:33Steven Rinella?

  hard to explain until you've tasted it yourself. I keep some in my truck, I keep some in my fish shack, I keep some in my camper. They've got more than 10 flavors, and whether you like classic flavors or something a little different, there's probably one you'll end up keeping stocked around the house. Plus, it's made in the USA by a company that's been committed to quality and hometown values for over six decades. If you haven't tried Wiley Wallaby yet, pick yourself up a bag. Use code MEATEATER at shop.wileywallaby.com for free shipping and you can try it yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

• 3:21Speaker 03

  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Brody, Seth, Roman, John, Logan, Max, and Alex Plakta. Alex, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  I work with Roman in social media.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  Okay, and Brody just had a bone to pick with you before we turned the mics on. Brody, what was the problem?

• 3:46Speaker 05

  Oh, well, it's like a, like a nature documentary screw-up where he called a caiman a gator.

• 3:55Speaker 03

  And no one else noticed this, Alex. Is that, is that right?

• 3:58Speaker 04

  I have once called a goat a billy when it was not a billy once.

• 4:03Speaker 03

  Oh, people called you out on that?

• 4:05Speaker 04

  They did.

• 4:05Speaker 03

  But no one called you out on the gator.

• 4:07Speaker 04

  No one called me out on the gator until Brody brought it up.

• 4:10Speaker 03

  Now everyone knows. Alex, what's, what's going to be your strong suit and weakness in Meat Eater Trivia?

• 4:17Speaker 04

  Nothing science specific, probably history related, if there's any historical questions.

• 4:22Speaker 03

  How about regionalize? What are your best regions? Okay, but like, do you like the north, the south, the west?

• 4:28Speaker 04

  A little bit of everything.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  Okay, alright. We'll see how Alex does today. If you're mad at stuff on social media, you're gonna be mad at Roman and Alex.

• 4:40Speaker 03

  Now everyone knows. Alright, 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 looking at the number of games in a row I've gone without forgetting to do the correct answer review. If you don't recall, I've started penalizing myself for when I forget to do the correct answer review after question nine. The fine has been that I'll join a new conservation group whenever that happens. And since implementing that system, I've gone five games in a row without forgetting. Sometimes I used to go five games in a row without remembering, so we may have solved this problem.

• 5:23Speaker 05

  So you're just donating less to conservation now?

• 5:26Speaker 03

  No, I, well, when I remember, yes. But when I'm doing my job better, that's right. I'm giving the listeners a better experience. But when I mess up, then conservation still wins, because I'll join a new conservation group. How many conservation groups are you part of? Uh, that was my sixth. Or just like, in general? Six right now. Six that I'm like, currently in a one-year membership of. I don't own any lifetime or three-year memberships of anything. So, uh, we'll see how long this goes on. I might be at double digits, though, by the end of the year. Yeah. Alright, here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Nathan Pawatzky says, "You've mentioned before how you will tweak listener-submitted questions

• 6:10Speaker 03

  to word them better. Do you ever have anyone write in pissed that you messed with their question?" Uh, it's happened one time. And it was also somebody named Nathan. It happened earlier this year. Um, but he was very angry that I changed the wording of his question. He wrote in demanding to know, uh, what my process is and how I fact-check things and create the questions. Uh, he, he was upset.

• 6:32Speaker 05

  Oh, well, you gotta tell us what it was.

• 6:34Speaker 03

  Um, well, I've already given a lot. It happened this year and his name was Nathan, so there, you know, there's probably one episode where that's happened.

• 6:40Speaker 05

  No, no, no, like, what the question was?

• 6:42Speaker 03

  It was about, uh, uh- Oh, I said his last, I'm not, I'm not gonna say anymore.

• 6:47Speaker 05

  That's fine.

• 6:48Speaker 03

  It was, it was about a bird. It was about a bird. He didn't like, uh, the phrasing that I chose and the, the hints that I gave rather than his. So, uh, it doesn't happen oft- or if it does happen, folks don't write me to, to tell me that they're angry, but it has happened once. But at the end, end of the day, they gotta remember this is your show. Oh, wow. Thank you, Max.

• 7:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, but we complain, we complain about his questions all the time.

• 7:11Speaker 03

  I'm open to criticism. Uh, if, if more people are angry like that other Nathan, uh, they should write me and let me know. That'll, that'll create a better product, Max.

• 7:19Speaker 05

  Were the people that like answered the question angry about the question?

• 7:23Speaker 03

  No, the, the room, I think about half of the room got it right. Uh, but they didn't know what the alternate version was. Maybe, maybe they would have liked, uh, the listener submitted version better. We'll never know. All right. There's no housekeeping today, so we can get to the trivia. And the Shelby index for this episode is a four.

• 7:39Speaker 05

  What's the max index?

• 7:40Speaker 03

  Ooh, I can do that. Correct answers.

• 7:41Speaker 05

  What's the max index?

• 7:42Speaker 03

  We'll find out in about a half hour. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 7:50Speaker 06

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win, everything. Probably like a three. Just tend to win everything.

• 8:04Speaker 03

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is hunting and this will be multiple choice. Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer? Is it North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma?

• 8:24Speaker 03

  Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer? North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma?

• 8:39Speaker 03

  Quick answers.

• 8:42Speaker 03

  Not from Max, though. Grew up in one of these states. Just thinking, just thinking. Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer? North Dakota, Nebraska,

• 8:54Speaker 05

  Can I get a different marker?

• 8:54Speaker 03

  Kansas, Oklahoma.

• 8:58Speaker 03

  I thought you-

• 8:58Speaker 05

  You're gonna throw him the Sharpie.

• 9:01Speaker 05

  What do you got, Max?

• 9:04Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Oklahoma. Oh, boy. Logan, Oklahoma. Seth, Nebraska. Alex, Kansas. John, Oklahoma. Roman, North Dakota. Max, North Dakota. Brody, Oklahoma. The correct answer is Oklahoma.

• 9:30Speaker 05

  Damn it.

• 9:30Speaker 03

  Think three or four of our players got that one right, and we had every answer represented among the crew. It's estimated that the mule deer population in Nebraska is 130,000, followed by 50,000 in Kansas, 20,000 in North Dakota, and 3,000 in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's mule herd is largely limited to the state's panhandle.

• 9:52Speaker 05

  Cal didn't, didn't Cal do a?

• 9:55Speaker 03

  He did do an episode.

• 9:56Speaker 05

  It was awesome. That's how I knew the answer.

• 9:58Speaker 03

  Killed one of the only mule deer in that Don State. Question two, the topic is fishing. This game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award.

• 10:15Speaker 05

  Game show?

• 10:17Speaker 03

  This game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award.

• 10:27Speaker 05

  Was this you?

• 10:29Speaker 03

  I did not get that award. No.

• 10:31Speaker 05

  You have eight lakes and four boats?

• 10:32Speaker 03

  I wish the rest of it was true, though.

• 10:34Speaker 05

  Game show? Is this game show on currently?

• 10:37Speaker 03

  Not giving any hints. Seth, quick answer. Seth, do you know this one, or do you just know one game show host?

• 10:42Speaker 05

  I just know one game show host that likes to fish a whole bunch.

• 10:45Speaker 03

  Okay, there you go.

• 10:47Speaker 05

  That's probably right. Yeah, I'm pretty good.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  This game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. That just happened about a week ago at ICAST.

• 11:03Speaker 05

  Fresh news.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  Fresh news.

• 11:05Speaker 05

  Can I just tell you what game show?

• 11:08Speaker 03

  No, we're gonna need a last name.

• 11:13Speaker 03

  Seth is the only player who likes his answer, seems like. Alex, do you have this one right?

• 11:18Speaker 04

  I do.

• 11:19Speaker 03

  Social media man, you maybe saw this news?

• 11:21Speaker 04

  No, I did not.

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Educated guys.

• 11:25Speaker 03

  Yanni, do you like your answer?

• 11:29Speaker 05

  I've written down a game show host's name.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Do you watch any game shows?

• 11:34Speaker 05

  No.

• 11:34Speaker 03

  No. Did you used to?

• 11:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, when I was a kid and named the game was Come Home After School, you know?

• 11:44Speaker 03

  What game did you, what game shows did you watch?

• 11:46Speaker 05

  I think Price is Right was on.

• 11:48Speaker 03

  What about on sick days? Was that like universal that even from your generation, you'd watch Price is Right on a sick day?

• 11:54Speaker 05

  Oh, for sure. Until like it would, you'd watch whatever you could until like all of a sudden it would turn into like every, every network would only be paying soap operas and be like, dang it, go outside.

• 12:08Speaker 03

  Again, this game show host who said he owns four boats and eight lakes was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. Is everybody ready?

• 12:19Speaker 05

  Is his name Spencer Neuharth?

• 12:20Speaker 03

  Again, I wish I had four boats and eight lakes.

• 12:25Speaker 03

  Maxwell?

• 12:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, I can't think of his name, but.

• 12:28Speaker 03

  Ooh. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Rob Lowe.

• 12:34Speaker 05

  That sounds right.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  Logan says Drew Carey. Seth, Steve Harvey. Alex, Drew Carey. John, Steve Harvey. Roman, Steve Harvey. Max says Family Feud guy, could be anybody. Robbie says Pat Sajak.

• 12:51Speaker 05

  I think, yeah.

• 12:52Speaker 03

  The correct answer is Steve Harvey.

• 12:57Speaker 06

  What game show does he host?

• 12:58Speaker 03

  He hosts the Family Feud.

• 12:59Speaker 05

  Give me a half point.

• 13:00Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna give it to Max.

• 13:01Speaker 05

  Give it to Max. Come on.

• 13:04Speaker 03

  Harvey learned to fish as a little boy in West Virginia. He says it's his favorite hobby and that he once spent six hours in a Bass Pro shopping for largemouth lures. Harvey was given the Impact Award for the work his charity does, which they say has quote, "introduced countless young men and women to fishing."

• 13:22Speaker 06

  Half a point, Phil.

• 13:23Speaker 05

  Good for him.

• 13:24Speaker 03

  Steve Harvey loves to fish. Question three, the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Andrew Green. This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer.

• 13:42Speaker 03

  This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer. Brody and Yanni, quick to answer, Seth is now joining them.

• 13:57Speaker 03

  Seth, do you have this one right? If I could go back in a time machine and go hunting, this is what I'd want to go.

• 14:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't know. Educated guess. Somebody I know was over there recently and saw a set of these antlers on the wall.

• 14:10Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 14:10Speaker 05

  It was incredible.

• 14:13Speaker 03

  Oh, it was over there? In the flavor text, I'll tell you just how big they get.

• 14:20Speaker 03

  This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer.

• 14:32Speaker 05

  Although I have been editing my Latvia episode, which I solo filmed last year and it came out extremely well. I'm delighted with how it came out.

• 14:40Speaker 03

  Lot of subtitles? You're editing it?

• 14:42Speaker 05

  Not too much.

• 14:42Speaker 03

  No?

• 14:43Speaker 05

  Well, part of the edit process, you know? I've been doing, I did, yesterday I worked on the, uh, the translations, which is, uh, I always think it's gonna be real easy and it's a bitch.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  Do you have to consult your dad on that or are you good enough?

• 14:58Speaker 05

  There was one term that was used and I did, I actually consulted three people. Malatus. And malatus means like oftentimes you, you'll hear a parent talking to their kid after they've done something very well and they'll just say, "Malatus." And, and you're applying that to them.

• 15:17Speaker 05

  But I got varied answers. My mom was like, "Oh, it's very like, like on a spiritual level, like this sort of, you know, you've done great." But then other people were just like, "No, it just means you excelled at your task."

• 15:28Speaker 03

  How was it said to you?

• 15:30Speaker 05

  Oh, no, it was, it wasn't said to me, well, in the video it was used, um, uh, she was speaking to her dog after he had found the pig I shot and she said, "Malatus."

• 15:41Speaker 03

  What do you got? Again, we're on question three, natural history. This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer. Is everybody ready?

• 15:52Speaker 03

  Seth?

• 15:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:53Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying Irish. Logan, African. Seth, Canadian. Alex, Mongolian. Uh, John without an answer, Roman. Scottish. Close buddy. Max, New Zealand. Brody, Irish. The correct answer is the Irish elk. Brody and Yanni got that one right.

• 16:17Speaker 06

  Logan, I'll point out that Africa is not a country.

• 16:20Speaker 05

  See, I, I, I thought about that and, and last time I had a similar geography issue. You pointed that out as well.

• 16:28Speaker 05

  I did actually think about that. I was like, you know, I know that this is not a country, but.

• 16:32Speaker 06

  Screw it.

• 16:33Speaker 03

  You can just see if Logan or just see if Brody's paying attention and he was. Okay. The antlers of the Irish elk could span 12 feet. Most of them went extinct during the ice age, but a small herd in Siberia evidently held on for an extra 4,000 years. Some Irish elk fossils from the region have been dated to as recently as 7,000 years ago. It's thought those holdouts eventually died due to a warming climate and human hunting. Question four.

• 17:02Speaker 05

  Wait, hold up. South, South Africa's a country though, right? Yes.

• 17:05Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  So technically my answer was based on.

• 17:08Speaker 03

  Question four, the topic is gear. Autozone says the function of this 10-letter motor part is to quote, "Mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion."

• 17:25Speaker 03

  Brody already has his answer down. Autozone says the function of this 10-letter motor part is to mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion. Seth, you have this right?

• 17:38Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 17:39Speaker 03

  Okay. Seth smelling his marker over there. I saw that, but he goes cap on, so it's like he's microdosing markers. Not just free lining it.

• 17:48Speaker 06

  Or you're smelling hands.

• 17:49Speaker 05

  Got it, yeah.

• 17:51Speaker 06

  Which is weird.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  Smells like blueberries. It's a blue one.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Definitely better cap on.

• 17:58Speaker 06

  I actually think I'm pretty good.

• 18:00Speaker 05

  Think you're good, buddy.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  Autozone says the function of this 10-letter motor part is to mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion.

• 18:10Speaker 03

  Brody likes Max's answer.

• 18:13Speaker 06

  His first one today.

• 18:14Speaker 03

  Seth seems to like his answer. Yanni, do you like your answer?

• 18:19Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  10-letter motor part. It mixes air and fuel in the proper ratio.

• 18:26Speaker 05

  Just spelling count, as long as I have the right amount of letters.

• 18:30Speaker 03

  If we know what you're talking about, should be close enough.

• 18:35Speaker 05

  Did you count them?

• 18:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, 10, right?

• 18:38Speaker 05

  Spell them wrong.

• 18:39Speaker 03

  10-letter.

• 18:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, there's a vowel there in the middle. It's tripping me up.

• 18:46Speaker 03

  Okay, there's a little hint. Yanni says there's a vowel in the middle.

• 18:49Speaker 05

  It's a word with a vowel. It's 10 letters, I imagine, yeah.

• 18:54Speaker 06

  Did you play Wordle yet today?

• 18:55Speaker 05

  Hot tip, Yanni? No, I've been off the World Train.

• 18:58Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 19:00Speaker 03

  Had to clear your mind for this race coming up, huh?

• 19:03Speaker 05

  No, it's been much longer. Just kinda, I got the same way with, that I am with Instagram. I just was like, you know what, do I really need to give Wordle 5 to 10 minutes of my day every day? Nope.

• 19:14Speaker 03

  All right, is everybody ready?

• 19:17Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yannis saying carburetor.

• 19:21Speaker 06

  That's how I spelled it, too.

• 19:22Speaker 03

  Logan says combustion. Seth, carburetor. Alex says injector. John, carburetor. Roman, carburetor. Max, carburetor. Brody, carburetor. The correct answer is carburetor.

• 19:35Speaker 06

  Nice.

• 19:36Speaker 03

  Can you spell that? C-A-R-B-U-R-E-T-O-R. Did anybody spell it right?

• 19:42Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:43Speaker 05

  Brody, that's it.

• 19:45Speaker 03

  Got it right and spelled it right. Signs that your carburetor need replacing or maintenance include rough idling, poor acceleration, and engine stalls. Although carburetors are still common in small engines, they've been phased out of vehicles, the 1990 Subaru Justy was the last car sold in America with a carburetor. Brody, Seth, you boys ever work on carburetors on your boats?

• 20:10Speaker 05

  Little bit. I got a Honda that runs like a dream. Yeah, they're a tough thing to work on. But I think my Honda, their fuel.

• 20:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, those are fuel injectors. Electric fuel injector, is that right?

• 20:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, I've never worked on them on a boat, but other things.

• 20:24Speaker 03

  Question five.

• 20:25Speaker 05

  Always mess it up.

• 20:26Speaker 06

  Lawn mowers.

• 20:27Speaker 03

  The topic is cooking. This sushi roll, which is named after its colorful presentation, is made by placing salmon, tuna, and yellowfin on top of a California roll.

• 20:41Speaker 03

  Our sushi eaters, answering this question before I even finished it. But we have three players who maybe don't like sushi as much. Roman, do you like sushi?

• 20:51Speaker 05

  I do. I was gonna mention, I saw there's a new foodborne illness from another sushi restaurant here.

• 20:56Speaker 03

  Really? I saw we just got a new sushi place in town as well.

• 21:00Speaker 06

  Alex just texted me about that.

• 21:01Speaker 05

  What, what place, Roman? I don't know if I should name names, but it's not the one from a few years. Did it make news, or was it just that angry Reddit post? Cause I saw the angry Reddit post. I think we are looking at the same circles, Phil.

• 21:14Speaker 03

  Again, question five. This sushi roll, which is named for its colorful presentation, is made by placing salmon, tuna, and yellowfin on top of a California roll.

• 21:25Speaker 05

  Sounds delicious. I'd like to eat one of these right now. What do you think?

• 21:30Speaker 03

  Seth, do you like sushi?

• 21:31Speaker 05

  I love sushi.

• 21:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 21:33Speaker 05

  But I don't, I don't, I can't recall the name of this.

• 21:36Speaker 03

  John, do you have this one right?

• 21:37Speaker 06

  I don't think so. I have a sushi roll name down, but I don't think it's it.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  Okay. This is question five, so we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis and Logan saying rainbow roll. Seth, without an answer. Alex says rainbow. John says dragon roll. Roman says party roll.

• 22:04Speaker 06

  Love it.

• 22:04Speaker 03

  Max and Brody say rainbow roll. They got it. The correct answer is the rainbow roll.

• 22:09Speaker 06

  Nice. Coming back now.

• 22:11Speaker 03

  The rainbow roll is filled with crab, avocado, and cucumber, then topped with slices of different colored fish. Its base roll, the California roll, was declared the number one most popular sushi roll in America by School of Sushi, while the rainbow roll was number six. Alright Phil, let's get a scoreboard update.

• 22:32Speaker 04

  At halftime, everyone's on the board. We've got Alex with one point, Logan and Roman, and Max, and Seth have two points. John has three and tied up in first place are Yanis and Brody with four.

• 22:43Speaker 05

  I feel like Yanis has been bringing it lately, man.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  It's the hair change.

• 22:47Speaker 06

  It's the hair change.

• 22:49Speaker 03

  You might have to keep that now.

• 22:53Steven 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. Listen, we're all trying to save up for something. I got buddies saving up to buy their new

  Holy smokes, I've been running around in some Zamberland boots and my God, are they comfortable. Damn, out of the box, ready to wear. I can't believe I haven't done it before.

• 26:08Speaker 03

  Question six. The topic is hunting. This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's Hunting Editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs. Oh, I thought it was gonna be a different question. Brody, quick to answer, Yanni joining him. They're the only two players. I thought it was gonna be this so far.

• 26:31Speaker 06

  I thought it was gonna be the question about the guy who like shot that mule deer and then someone else shot it too.

• 26:35Speaker 03

  Hmm, no, that was more recent than that.

• 26:40Speaker 05

  I talked to this fella about squirrel hunting out west, actually. I don't think you should be giving that. Someone might remember your conversation. Hmm, oh, you think? Maybe.

• 26:49Speaker 03

  This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's Hunting Editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs. Seth, do you have this one right?

• 27:01Speaker 05

  Oh, I don't know. I think I recall something about this in this guy, but I don't.

• 27:07Speaker 03

  Brody, do you remember when this happened?

• 27:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, oh, yeah.

• 27:10Speaker 03

  Okay, how about you, Yanni?

• 27:11Speaker 05

  Big hubbub. Yeah.

• 27:13Speaker 03

  15 years ago. Longer than that. What did he say? I will tell you in the flavor text. This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's hunting editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs. Do our other players give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying Jim Zumbo. Logan without an answer. Seth says Jim Sumbo. Alex and John without an answer. Roman says Shell Silverstein. Max says Tread Barta. And Brody says Jim Zumbo. The correct answer is Jim Zumbo. In Zumbo's article, he said, quote, "Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see

• 27:57Speaker 03

  no place for these weapons among our fraternity. I'll go as far as to call them terrorist rifles. I say game departments should ban them from the prairies and woods." The fallout caused Zumbo to lose his job and receive death threats. He later apologized in a forum post on Ted Nugent's website, saying he was ignorant about black rifles and planned to do an AR-15 hunt with the Nuge. Are you even giving that one to Seth? I didn't see what... Seth had it right. Okay, I thought I heard you say Sumbo with an S. Max, are you related to Tread Barta?

• 28:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, he's my uncle.

• 28:29Speaker 03

  I never considered that you guys had the same last name.

• 28:30Speaker 06

  No, no relation as a, as I know.

• 28:33Speaker 05

  Yannis and I used to... Oh, yeah. He was around our outfitter scene for a while.

• 28:39Speaker 03

  And I imagine you have not real favorable things to say about him. Is that what you were...

• 28:44Speaker 05

  I'm not gonna cast aspersions on someone who's not here.

• 28:47Speaker 06

  I grew up watching him on, it was, the outdoor channel was Versus.

• 28:52Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, that was my favorite hunting show growing up.

• 28:55Speaker 03

  Mine was on the Versus channel, Benny Spies. Got in with Benny Spies. Oh, yeah, that was a great one. Question seven, the topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Mitch Goaks for sending this great question. Mitch is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

• 29:21Speaker 03

  What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

• 29:26Speaker 03

  Brody, quick to answer. Nani's jaw hit the floor. He doesn't like this one. What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

• 29:35Speaker 05

  I just saw my first whale on the beach.

• 29:38Speaker 05

  Max, you're on fire today.

• 29:40Speaker 03

  Wow, alright. Brody was shocked that Max had the answer that he had.

• 29:46Speaker 05

  I misread it the first time.

• 29:48Speaker 03

  What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

• 29:50Speaker 05

  No, I can't say it. I'll give it away.

• 29:53Speaker 03

  Yanni, who I believe is tied for the lead, has a blank whiteboard.

• 30:01Speaker 05

  You got it right?

• 30:02Speaker 04

  Stuff between two options.

• 30:05Speaker 03

  What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

• 30:10Speaker 03

  Yannis?

• 30:12Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying humpback. Logan, white whale. Seth, sperm whale. Alex, blue whale. John, sperm whale. Roman and Max and Brody say sperm whale. They got it. The correct answer is a sperm whale.

• 30:33Speaker 06

  This side was on fire.

• 30:34Speaker 03

  They're doing good. More specifically, Moby Dick was a white bull sperm whale. Although most think of the whale as an albino, Herman Melville writes that it has two prominent white areas and that the rest of the body has splotches of white and gray. Therefore, Moby Dick was lucistic or piebald, not albino. Question eight. The topic is biology. This next great question is via Tim Allen. Phil, can you give us a little Tim Allen sounder over there?

• 31:03Speaker 05

  Huh?

• 31:04Speaker 03

  Okay, very good. This eight-letter word is defined as, quote, "a grooming behavior where birds use their beaks to clean, realign, and maintain their feathers."

• 31:17Speaker 06

  Eight letters?

• 31:18Speaker 03

  Eight letters.

• 31:19Speaker 05

  I feel like we've had this question.

• 31:21Speaker 03

  We have not had this question.

• 31:24Speaker 03

  This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. This eight-letter word is defined as "a grooming behavior where birds use their beaks to clean, realign, and maintain their feathers."

• 31:38Speaker 06

  That's what they do.

• 31:40Speaker 03

  Okay, thank you Max for the demonstration. Max, do you have this one right?

• 31:46Speaker 06

  I sure hope so. I really hope so.

• 31:48Speaker 03

  He's sore and hot today.

• 31:49Speaker 05

  Max is kind of a bird guy, Spencer. He's the biggest bird guy in this room, I'd say.

• 31:54Speaker 06

  That was my peacock.

• 31:56Speaker 03

  Very good.

• 31:56Speaker 05

  Sounded like Tim Allen.

• 31:59Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying preening. Logan says primping. Seth, preening. Alex, cleaning. John and Roman without an answer. Max says preening. Brody, preening. The correct answer is preening. It's P-R-E-E-N-I-N-G. The National Wild Turkey Federation says that preening is such a significant part of a turkey's daily routine that it's second in time only to feeding. For gobblers, this behavior can include dusting and sunning. Preening creates stronger feathers, reduces parasites, and makes males more attractive to hens. Alright, Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

• 32:48Speaker 06

  In the duck world, it helps with waterproofness.

• 32:52Speaker 05

  After question eight, Alex, Logan, Roman, John, and Max are not, have not accumulated enough points to win the game.

• 33:01Speaker 06

  I got four and a half, Phil.

• 33:03Speaker 05

  But Yanis has, or Seth has five, Yanis has six, and Brody is in first place with seven points.

• 33:09Speaker 03

  Max pointed out that waterproofing is one of the duck purposes. They also say that for turkeys, but I don't think of turkeys as being very waterproof, so I didn't include that. But it's basically spreading their oils from one specific gland.

• 33:22Speaker 06

  Do turkeys have preening glands?

• 33:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, ducks got a gland on their butt that secretes oil.

• 33:27Speaker 03

  Part of their preening process. Question nine, the topic is conservation. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016 thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game.

• 33:43Speaker 05

  What is a augmented reality mobile game?

• 33:47Speaker 03

  Phil can explain it to you after this. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game.

• 34:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, Brody, currently in the lead.

• 34:06Speaker 05

  Phil, did you come up with this question? No, but I'm very grateful that Spencer did.

• 34:10Speaker 03

  Phil will get to talk about augmented reality after this.

• 34:14Speaker 05

  I bet they played on a switch, don't they?

• 34:16Speaker 03

  Hmm, I don't know. Find out.

• 34:18Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 34:19Speaker 03

  In the flavor text.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  Okay, so Logan and Seth don't agree. Alex, do you have this one right?

• 34:27Speaker 04

  100% confidence.

• 34:28Speaker 03

  Okay. John, do you have this one right?

• 34:31Speaker 06

  I don't think so.

• 34:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 34:33Speaker 06

  I'm trying to figure out how my answers deal deals with the National Parks.

• 34:37Speaker 03

  The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. And Brody and Yanni have blank whiteboards.

• 34:52Speaker 05

  This would be a time to get ahead.

• 34:55Speaker 03

  If only.

• 34:58Speaker 03

  Again, this question nine will be the time to catch up. Board update after this.

• 35:05Speaker 03

  Yanni, how we doing?

• 35:08Speaker 05

  Not great.

• 35:08Speaker 03

  Brody, how we doing?

• 35:10Speaker 05

  Even worse.

• 35:12Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 35:12Speaker 05

  A man with that hair should know the answer to this.

• 35:16Speaker 03

  The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game.

• 35:26Speaker 03

  Phil, have you played this game? This will be the Room's one hint. Has Phil played this game?

• 35:30Speaker 05

  I have played this game.

• 35:31Speaker 03

  Okay, he's played this game. There you go.

• 35:33Speaker 06

  He's played a lot of games, though.

• 35:36Speaker 06

  Phil, you like it?

• 35:38Speaker 05

  It's possible I just played this game 30 seconds ago. In preparation for this question.

• 35:43Speaker 03

  Oh, okay, perfect.

• 35:45Speaker 06

  Can I see your recent apps?

• 35:49Speaker 03

  Brody and Yanni are stumped. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016 thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game.

• 36:01Speaker 06

  I'm trying to think about 2016.

• 36:02Speaker 03

  Brody, Yanni, do you give up?

• 36:04Speaker 05

  I do. I'm trying to think of a name on the video game. Maybe Yannis will get it and make the game a little more interesting.

• 36:11Speaker 03

  Yanni, do you give up?

• 36:15Speaker 03

  Phil was just playing it a minute ago.

• 36:20Speaker 05

  I think this is the game.

• 36:21Speaker 03

  Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yannis saying Fortnite.

• 36:25Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  Logan says Pokemon Go. Seth says Fortnite. Alex, Pokemon Go. John, Pokemon Go. Roman, Clash of the Clans. Max, Clash of the Clans. Brody, without an answer. The correct answer is Pokemon Go. We had half of the room.

• 36:45Speaker 05

  Never would have stood a chance. I don't know what a carbureator is.

• 36:50Speaker 03

  Pokemon Go encourages players to go outside to visit Pokéstops, which are typically landmarks such as historic plaques, museums, hiking trails, and statues. This makes national parks and national monuments a hotspot for trainers. The youth traffic got so overwhelming in 2016 that rangers started leading guided Pokemon tours across historic sites. A spokeswoman for the NPS said that summer, quote, "This is an age group we love to have in the parks." All right, Phil, explain. Explain Pokemon Go in augmented reality.

• 37:24Speaker 05

  I just caught a Magnemite.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  Okay, perfect.

• 37:30Speaker 05

  Uh, augmented reality is different than virtual reality, and then augmented reality uses like a video feed of something like, like an actual camera feed, and then overlays images into it to look like it's a part of, of the actual world. So Pokemon Go uses GPS and actual mapping, so you can walk around your town and, and like Spencer said, landmarks are Pokéstops, or you can like, collect items, and there are gyms where you can battle other Pokemon. I just found out a minute ago that the pond behind our office is a Pokéstop.

• 37:57Speaker 03

  Oh, good for you, Phil. Like, in augmented reality, there could be a Pikachu sitting on Yanni's shoulder right now. That's, that's how the augmented reality.

• 38:06Speaker 06

  Is there, is there anything in this room?

• 38:07Speaker 05

  Run faster, Yannis, run faster. Uh, yeah, yeah, there is, actually.

• 38:11Speaker 03

  Here's the correct answer review so far. One was Oklahoma, two, Steve Harvey, three, Irish Elk, four, Carburetor, five, Rainbow Roll, six, Jim Zumbo, seven, Sperm Whale, eight, Preening, nine, Pokemon Go. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update before question 10.

• 38:30Speaker 06

  I should have six right now.

• 38:33Speaker 05

  We've got Yanis with six points and Brody with seven points.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  Question 10, the topic is woodsmanship. And this next great question is via Eric Winrich.

• 38:46Speaker 03

  The old farmer's almanac calls the blank bear caterpillar miniature meteorologist because of their reputation for predicting winter weather. Brody had his answer before I finished the question. It seems as though he's wrapped up the victory with eight correct answers. The old farmer's almanac calls the blank bear caterpillar, quote, miniature meteorologist because of their reputation for predicting winter weather.

• 39:15Speaker 03

  Seth, do you have this one right?

• 39:18Speaker 05

  Um, I think so, but we didn't, we called him something different.

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Hmm. Yanni, do you have this one right?

• 39:24Speaker 05

  No.

• 39:25Speaker 03

  The blank bear caterpillar, and they are miniature meteorologists. Brody, were you familiar with this bit of lore?

• 39:32Speaker 05

  Yeah. If I remember right, I'll explain more.

• 39:36Speaker 03

  Great. Max, do you have this one?

• 39:38Speaker 05

  I think.

• 39:38Speaker 06

  No.

• 39:40Speaker 03

  Blank bear caterpillar.

• 39:43Speaker 06

  But I'm trying, trying my best.

• 39:45Speaker 03

  Old farmer's almanac calls them miniature meteorologists because of their reputation for predicting winter weather.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 39:57Speaker 03

  Hold up, I'm gonna change mine. Okay.

• 40:00Speaker 03

  I'm gonna give Logan one more second. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying black. Logan says black. Seth, woolly. Alex, brown. John, without an answer. Roman, polar. Max, fuzzy. Brody, woolly. The correct answer is the woolly bear caterpillar, making Brody our winner with eight correct answers.

• 40:26Speaker 05

  Wasn't it a? The weather thing like predicting had something to do with their color pattern.

• 40:33Speaker 03

  Woolly bear caterpillars turn into tiger moths. As larvae, they are two colors. The farmer's almanac lore says that if there's more black, then it will be a bad winter. And if there's more brown, then it will be a mild winter. But Noah says this is just a myth and that woolly bear color is based on diet and age. We call them woolly buggers. Woolly buggers. I've heard of the fishing fly.

• 40:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, I've heard of the fly.

• 40:57Speaker 03

  But I've never heard of the caterpillar called a woolly bugger. Woolly bear caterpillar. All right, Brody, what are you gonna do with the $500 today?

• 41:05Speaker 05

  Uh, sage grouse were recently declared extinct in the state of North Dakota.

• 41:11Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Max shed a tear over that.

• 41:13Speaker 05

  Real bummer. Um, so we're gonna donate it to the sage grouse initiative.

• 41:18Speaker 03

  Okay, $500 going their way via Brody and Meat Eater. Brody nailed the Shelby index today with eight correct answers. Join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 41:31Speaker 06

  Thanks Spencer. Thanks Will.

• 41:34Speaker 04

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