  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Neuharth, and today we're joined by Alyssa, Chili, Christine, Corey, Logan, Nate, Roman, and Tressa. This is a jabroni episode, so by the end of today's show, we'll have crowned a new winner. You guys know what I like about doing a trivia episode with the jabronis?

• 1:42Speaker 03

  What's that?

• 1:42Speaker 02

  You all show up on time.

• 1:44Speaker 04

  I was gonna say.

• 1:44Speaker 02

  It's really great. We have nothing else to do. Well, you know, some of our trivia players, they kind of are divas, and they're fine wandering in five minutes late. Not you guys, though. You're here prompt, so I appreciate that.

• 1:58Speaker 04

  At least we got that going for us.

• 2:00Speaker 02

  Now, 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 winner's choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Athletic Brewing, they're matching our $500 donation, as well as sponsoring a Moneyball question of the week. Thanks to Athletic Brewing, today's game has a potential for a $1,500 conservation donation.

• 2:27Speaker 02

  Now for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at each jabroni's best category to see how much they know about themselves. Alyssa, what's your best category?

• 2:35Speaker 05

  Oh, good grief, I don't know. Microphone Alyssa. I'm not sure.

• 2:40Speaker 02

  Take a guess.

• 2:41Speaker 05

  Uh, cooking.

• 2:43Speaker 02

  Fishing is your best category. Chili, what's your best category?

• 2:48Speaker 04

  Um, I would have to say, you, hu- hunting?

• 2:53Speaker 02

  Conservation, 0 for 2 jabronis. Christine?

• 2:57Speaker 04

  That's why we never win.

• 2:57Speaker 02

  Christine, what's your best category? Oh, gosh. What are they? Uh, fishing. Fishing is your best category. Well done Christine. She gets an early point. Corey, what's your best category?

• 3:09Speaker 04

  Hunting or cooking?

• 3:10Speaker 02

  Pick one.

• 3:11Speaker 04

  Throwing, oh, cooking.

• 3:12Speaker 02

  Cooking is your best category. Alright, 2 for 4. Logan, what's your best category?

• 3:18Speaker 03

  Hunting?

• 3:19Speaker 02

  Cooking is your best category, 2 out of 5. Nate, your best category? Hunting. Hunting is your best category, 3 out of 6. Roman, what's your best category?

• 3:27Speaker 04

  I'm gonna go with cooking.

• 3:29Speaker 02

  Uh, conservation. Tressa, it's all up to you.

• 3:33Speaker 05

  Um, cooking.

• 3:36Speaker 02

  Cooking is your best category, 4 out of the 8 of you. Your best category. Alright, here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia@themeat eater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Carrie Madison says, "What's an employee's reaction when they get invited to trivia? Do they cancel meetings to make it, or do they look for an excuse not to show up?" What do you guys do?

• 4:00Speaker 04

  I'm stoked.

• 4:01Speaker 03

  Definitely move around meetings.

• 4:02Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 4:03Speaker 05

  Yes, I've canceled a few.

• 4:04Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, it's like, it's like an hour out of your day to go do a game that you're still getting paid to go do.

• 4:10Speaker 02

  There you go.

• 4:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's between this and insurance, so, you know.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  That's, uh, that makes me feel better. Uh, yeah, that's good. Alright, we have some housekeeping to get to.

• 4:20Speaker 04

  I will, I will put a qualifier on that. If Brody is there, I'm significantly less excited.

• 4:25Speaker 02

  You walk in the room and you see him and you reconsider your day. Not today, though. Just a jabroni's here. Everyone's got a good chance. All right, I am months behind on sending out prizes for listener questions of the week, but no fear, we now have our best guy on it, Roman, who is here with us today, is going to be reaching out to all of our previous winners who haven't gotten a prize yet, and he's going to be getting you your signed board game. So my apologies for the delayed prizes. Appreciate everyone's patience and be on the lookout for that email from Roman soon. Everyone for the last few months who hasn't got their board game yet is going to get one soon.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  Hold on, I've got some housekeeping. A certain jabroni slash HR rep reminded me that it's your birthday, Spencer!

• 5:04Speaker 02

  Oh, thank you!

• 5:07Speaker 02

  Appreciate it. Thirty-three years old today.

• 5:11Speaker 05

  Nice.

• 5:11Speaker 02

  It's not as fun on a Tuesday.

• 5:13Speaker 04

  Oh, you're only three years older than me? I thought you were like forty, dude.

• 5:20Speaker 02

  Chili loses.

• 5:21Speaker 05

  You know how to charm 'em, cuz.

• 5:23Speaker 02

  All right, the Shelby index for today is a six and a half. So our jabroni should have a strong game. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 5:35Speaker 06

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

• 5:40Speaker 06

  How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 5:49Speaker 05

  Game on, suckers!

• 5:51Speaker 02

  Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to Cornell University, this is the rarest color of flower. Is it white, blue, yellow, or red?

• 6:10Speaker 02

  According to Cornell University, this is the rarest color of flower. Your four choices: white, blue, yellow, red.

• 6:21Speaker 02

  Do we have any expert gardeners in the room?

• 6:23Speaker 05

  I love to garden.

• 6:24Speaker 02

  Okay. You feel like you know this answer?

• 6:27Speaker 05

  No.

• 6:28Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 6:29Speaker 05

  Are these just any type of flower? Are they wildflowers?

• 6:33Speaker 02

  Cornell University was referencing the 280,000 known plants, I believe, and looking at all their flowers, yes. And of those, one of these was the rarest: white, blue, yellow, red. Are you missing any of these colors from your garden? You had to tell us which.

• 6:55Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 6:56Speaker 02

  Yes, okay, is that your answer as well?

• 6:58Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 6:58Speaker 02

  Okay. Alyssa's at an advantage. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine and Alyssa saying blue. Nate says red. Corey, red. Logan, blue. Chili, blue. Roman, blue. Tressa, blue. You did great. The correct answer is blue.

• 7:21Speaker 05

  Suck it Nate.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  Thank you for that negative feedback. I appreciate it.

• 7:28Speaker 02

  Less than one in 10 flowers is blue, making it one of nature's rarest colors. Scientists say it's a difficult color for plants to make, and it's not as desirable by pollinators. The most common flower colors are green, white, yellow, orange, red, and pink. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Jared Deets. What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic? What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic? Chili and Nate have an answer. Do you know this one Nate?

• 8:10Speaker 04

  Uh, no, I'm just basing it off the, the political landscape.

• 8:14Speaker 02

  What you know about some different states. Chili, do you know this one?

• 8:17Speaker 04

  Um, not like super confident, but same thing.

• 8:21Speaker 02

  You just picked a state you think would ban all fishing?

• 8:23Speaker 04

  Super left, left state.

• 8:24Speaker 02

  Okay. What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic?

• 8:32Speaker 04

  Did they shut down hunting out here that year?

• 8:35Speaker 05

  No.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  No.

• 8:36Speaker 04

  I was in Georgia and the turkey season just got totally pooped on. It was real bumming.

• 8:43Speaker 02

  I don't remember specifically out here, but I think they just said like, use common sense. That was, that was all. Um, which meant you could hang out outdoors. Does everyone have an answer for question two?

• 8:56Speaker 02

  Is anybody confident? You're all just making guesses.

• 8:59Speaker 03

  Pretty, pretty confident.

• 9:00Speaker 02

  Christine, you have an answer?

• 9:01Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 9:02Speaker 04

  Not many listeners of the Meteor Podcast in this room, I guess. Geez.

• 9:07Speaker 02

  Oh, is this, is this a topic you cover heavily?

• 9:09Speaker 04

  It comes up, you know, Steve harps on it every couple of months.

• 9:12Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Washington, Alyssa, California, Nate, crossed out Californian, wrote down New York, Cory, California, Logan, California, Chili, Minnesota, Roman, California, Tressa, California. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Washington. What? Christine, got that one right. Washington announced on March 25th, 2020, that all recreational fishing would become illegal starting at midnight. The state also banned hunting and golfing, which wouldn't

• 9:52Speaker 02

  open again until May 5th. Anglers protested the ban by throwing a boat parade on a Seattle lake, pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing people to boat, but not allowing them to fish. So the second they would cast a line, that would have became illegal. Question three, the topic is biology. This six-letter word is defined as, quote, "a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept."

• 10:21Speaker 02

  This six-letter word is defined as "a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept."

• 10:31Speaker 02

  Alyssa, quick to answer.

• 10:34Speaker 05

  I'm second guessing it.

• 10:35Speaker 04

  I know.

• 10:36Speaker 02

  You got six letters?

• 10:38Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 10:38Speaker 02

  Okay, I like your chances then.

• 10:43Speaker 02

  Christine has a perfect game going through two questions. Are you going to get this one right?

• 10:48Speaker 07

  No. No, maybe I will, maybe I will.

• 10:51Speaker 02

  Six-letter word defined as "a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept." Tell us about your garden, Alyssa. What's all going on there?

• 11:01Speaker 05

  Oh, I love to grow peonies. Those are my favorites.

• 11:09Speaker 05

  Well, I just got a greenhouse. I got a greenhouse.

• 11:11Speaker 02

  Oh, so you're doing some gardening right now?

• 11:13Speaker 05

  Well, no, I need to build it.

• 11:15Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 11:16Speaker 05

  I need to build it, and so hopefully...

• 11:17Speaker 02

  Is that, does that, does that really count as having a greenhouse then?

• 11:20Speaker 05

  Well, no. I guess, it's in my garage.

• 11:23Speaker 02

  There you go.

• 11:24Speaker 05

  That kinda counts.

• 11:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, sure.

• 11:25Speaker 05

  Um, it's, it's half-built.

• 11:26Speaker 02

  What are you gonna do with that greenhouse, once it's built?

• 11:29Speaker 05

  I feel like, you know, I wanna grow like some bulbs. I, I miss like half a season. You have to start a lot of stuff indoors, and so hopefully that will kinda like kick everything.

• 11:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. What zone are we in here?

• 11:41Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 11:42Speaker 02

  It's a tough one.

• 11:42Speaker 05

  Five?

• 11:43Speaker 02

  Yeah. I don't know the answer to that. I'm just saying it's a tough one to grow in.

• 11:46Speaker 05

  It is a tough one.

• 11:47Speaker 02

  Again, question three. Biology. This six-letter word is defined as "a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept." Phil, would you get this one right? Uh, you know, this is one of those ones where after I see the answer, I, I thought, "Oh, I knew that, but would I have thought of it without seeing the answer?" I don't know. I don't know. Is anyone besides Alyssa confident?

• 12:09Speaker 04

  It looks like we're all jabroning really hard in here.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  Jabroning?

• 12:17Speaker 02

  I like it. Do you guys give up who don't have an answer yet? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying garage. Alyssa says aviary. Nate says aviary. Cory says bucket. Logan says harbor. Chili without an answer. Roman without an answer. Tressa says awning. The correct answer is aviary. Nate and Alyssa got that one right. An aviary can be, an aviary can be as small as a cage or as big as an entire building. Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Canada, has the biggest indoor aviary in the world at

• 12:58Speaker 02

  45,000 square feet. They house 80 species of birds there, as well as snakes, iguanas, and tarantulas. Question four. The topic is gear. This next great question is via John Schlesinger. In 2021, Texas declared this their official state knife, which is named after the man who invented it.

• 13:23Speaker 02

  Some quick answers Nate already has his whiteboard down Alyssa has now joined him and Chili in 2021 Texas declared this their official state knife which is named after the man who invented it.

• 13:38Speaker 04

  Is this a brand of knife or like a style of knife?

• 13:41Speaker 05

  Oh yeah, that's a good question.

• 13:43Speaker 02

  Not gonna give you any hints. That's a bull. The knife is named after the man who invented it.

• 13:53Speaker 04

  Now I'm rethinking it dude.

• 13:59Speaker 02

  Good question by me or by Chili?

• 14:02Speaker 04

  No by you.

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Oh okay, you got this one right Cory?

• 14:05Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  I. No I. It's just a guess.

• 14:07Speaker 05

  I'm with you. That's a good, that was a good question. I think it's a good question. Yeah.

• 14:13Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 14:16Speaker 02

  In 2021 Texas declared this their official state knife which is named after the man who invented it uh I think to answer your question Roman I think they're the only state with a state knife. They're uh they are pioneers in that field although there are a few states with state guns. Is everybody ready?

• 14:33Speaker 04

  We've got a lot of northerners in this room.

• 14:36Speaker 02

  Chili going back to his whiteboard nope he's gonna keep it go ahead and reveal your answers we have Christine saying machete Alyssa says Gerber Nate says Bowie Cory says Buck Logan Case Chili Buck Roman Bowie Tressa Shear. We have a correct answer. It's Bowie Nate and Roman got that one correct I would have liked to have answered for you Chili but I think I would have made it more unclear because there is a brand Bowie knife but I also think people refer to most big knives as just Bowie knives it's like the Kleenex tissue thing. So it is a brand but I also think most people use it as referring to a style.

• 15:22Speaker 02

  Texas had been trying to pass the bill for four years before making it happen Bowie Bowie knives are named after Jim Bowie a pioneer who died at the Alamo his brother Resin Bowie made the first Bowie knives the Bowie knife headquarters are in Texas where you'll also find the world's biggest Bowie knife which is 20 feet long and 3,000 pounds.

• 15:44Speaker 04

  Who dropped that crocodile Dundee?

• 15:46Speaker 07

  Me.

• 15:47Speaker 04

  Oh, man, I thought you were gonna.

• 15:48Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, he carries a bowie knife, right? Question? Question, what's that?

• 15:54Speaker 07

  Is that the knife he has?

• 15:56Speaker 02

  He carries a big old knife in there, right?

• 15:58Speaker 07

  Yeah, that's like a machete.

• 15:58Speaker 02

  I don't know if he refers to it as a bowie knife or not. But if you were watching it, like Rambo carries a big old knife, and then most people just call it a bowie knife. Question five, the topic is hunting. This big box store, which is famous for their blue light special, stopped selling handguns in the 1970s and ammo in 2001.

• 16:22Speaker 02

  This big box store, which is famous for their blue light special, stopped selling handguns in the 1970s and ammo in 2001.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  The room looks stumped.

• 16:34Speaker 07

  Spencer, did you tone down these questions at all, knowing it was jabroni trivia? Or would you have presented these questions if it were a normal game of?

• 16:41Speaker 02

  I tried to make them more jabroni friendly, and I felt good afterwards when my wife got a six and a half.

• 16:48Speaker 04

  I was gonna say, you didn't, you didn't come, you didn't give us the Shelby index.

• 16:51Speaker 02

  6.5 is the Shelby index.

• 16:53Speaker 04

  Not that it's gonna help us, but, yeah.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  This big box store, which is famous for their blue light special, stopped selling handguns in the 1970s and ammo in 2001. I don't know if you guys watch Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, but they'll have like the college edition. And those questions are like slightly easier. So I think you guys are getting like the college edition of Meat Eater Trivia.

• 17:19Speaker 07

  That's a nice way to put it.

• 17:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, you guys are all, you're all very educated. Does everyone have an answer for question five? This big box store, which is famous for their blue light special, stopped selling handguns in the 1970s and ammo in 2001. Is anybody confident?

• 17:39Speaker 04

  Really?

• 17:40Speaker 02

  Phil, what have you got on this one?

• 17:41Speaker 07

  The blue light special gave it away for me 100%.

• 17:43Speaker 02

  Blue light special. That's what this store is famous for, and have that in quotation marks. Blue light special.

• 17:54Speaker 02

  Do you guys give up?

• 17:57Speaker 02

  Never. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Sears. Alyssa, Walmart. Nate and Corey say Sears. Logan and Chili say Walmart. Roman says Sears. Tressa says Walmart. Nobody got it. The correct answer is Kmart.

• 18:22Steven Rinella?

  It's not even a store anymore.

• 18:26Speaker 07

  It's not even a store.

• 18:28Speaker 02

  Let me tell you about that Chili. They went out of business in 2001? Kmart has become an endangered species in the last decade. They only have five locations left, which are located in the US Virgin Islands, Guam, and Miami. At their peak, they had over 2,000 locations and sold guns, ammo, and other hunting gear. So Chili, they got five Kmart's.

• 18:48Speaker 05

  And then it's like, well, this has to be a store that's still remaining.

• 18:52Speaker 02

  Phil, tell people about the blue light special.

• 18:54Speaker 04

  Oh, I mean, that's just what all their marketing was driven on. You know, it's, I, I can't even tell you. I think they would, would they put blue lights in the store on end caps?

• 19:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, they had like police lights. And then if that blue light was going, then it's like, that's what the sale is happening right now. What's that thing Steve talks about in his brain that knows it? The humunculus. Yes. Well, one, I brought that up to my, my friend who's like a neuro resident and she said totally wrong. Yeah, no, a lot, a lot of people have corrected Steve on that. And my humunculus knew it. I have to. Nobody got Kmart. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 19:30Speaker 05

  Oh, man.

• 19:32Speaker 04

  Uh, you know, if there's one thing we can say about this game, it's that it's jabroni trivia.

• 19:39Speaker 04

  Corey, who normally holds his own in regular trivia, is not on the board today. Corey was having a really good day, too.

• 19:45Speaker 02

  He probably came in as a favorite. Zero points.

• 19:49Speaker 04

  Uh, Tressa, Chili, and Logan all have one point and tied up in first place with two.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  Points at halftime. It's Christine, Alyssa, Nate and Roman. jabronis, I'm worried this isn't going to get any easier.

• 20:02Speaker 04

  I think Steve's concerned about this jabroni game because he's calling me right now. He's probably going to give me some input.

• 20:07Speaker 02

  You just ignore that.

• 20:08Speaker 04

  I will.

• 20:11Steven Rinella?

  In military families, service is more than a job, it's a legacy. At American Military University, that legacy can help open new doors through education. If someone in your family served in the military, you could be eligible for reduced tuition. Take the next step with flexible online programs built for real life. Learn more at amu.apus.edu/military.

  Question six. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Dustin Cosby. What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop?

• 23:30Speaker 02

  What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop?

• 23:39Speaker 07

  I can picture those guys.

• 23:44Speaker 02

  Where do you think they're standing?

• 23:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, I forget. Do they have a southern accent?

• 23:48Speaker 07

  Do they?

• 23:48Speaker 04

  They might.

• 23:49Speaker 07

  I'm not telling. Father and son.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  Do you know this one, Alyssa?

• 23:52Speaker 05

  I know the vicinity, but I don't know which one.

• 23:56Speaker 02

  This state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop.

• 24:02Speaker 07

  And the brand name.

• 24:07Speaker 02

  Our jabronis are stumped.

• 24:10Speaker 07

  Man, where are they standing?

• 24:16Speaker 02

  Someone can see the commercial, or a commercial. Cory's trying to figure out what dialect they had.

• 24:26Speaker 02

  What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop?

• 24:31Speaker 04

  Spencer doing anything fun for your birthday?

• 24:33Speaker 02

  No, not on a Tuesday.

• 24:35Speaker 04

  Taco Tuesday?

• 24:36Speaker 05

  Going up.

• 24:37Speaker 02

  I'll go to Chico, yeah, there you go. I'll go to Chico this weekend, that'll be fun. Went to Land of Magic this last weekend. Big fat steak there.

• 24:44Speaker 04

  Nice.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 24:47Speaker 07

  Oh, no.

• 24:49Speaker 02

  Better write down a state that you think produces 60% of America's cranberry crop.

• 24:56Speaker 07

  Cranberries.

• 24:58Speaker 02

  Are we ready?

• 24:59Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 25:00Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying California, Alyssa says Massachusetts, Nate, Massachusetts, Cory, Florida, Logan, South Carolina, Chile, Florida, Roman, Oregon, Tressa, California. Nobody got it. The correct answer is, do you guys have any other guesses?

• 25:20Speaker 07

  Nebraska.

• 25:21Speaker 02

  No.

• 25:21Speaker 05

  West Virginia, South Carolina.

• 25:22Speaker 02

  No, no. Wisconsin.

• 25:24Speaker 07

  What?

• 25:26Speaker 05

  I thought it was Massachusetts, that's all I heard about Massachusetts. I was thinking oceans, bro.

• 25:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. Cranberries are native to the bogs and swamps of the upper Midwest and New England. Wild cranberries can be foraged in those areas, as well as the Pacific Northwest. After Wisconsin, the leading cranberry producers are Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Oregon. So you guys were right there.

• 25:49Speaker 05

  Bang.

• 25:49Speaker 02

  Question.

• 25:50Steven Rinella?

  Wait, I'm not on the show enough to get that.

• 25:53Speaker 07

  You have a couple of them.

• 25:54Speaker 02

  Question 70. The topic is fishing. And this is the Athletic Brewing Moneyball Question of the Week. For every correct answer provided, Athletic Brewing is going to make a $100 donation that's capped at $500. This week, Athletic Brewing is giving to the National Wild Turkey Federation. Here's your Moneyball question. This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean?

• 26:24Speaker 07

  Tressa.

• 26:25Speaker 05

  This is bad because I studied abroad in Greece and I took Greek.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  Oh, wow. Were you also in a sorority?

• 26:31Speaker 05

  No.

• 26:32Speaker 02

  No, okay. Do we have any sorority or fraternity members in here?

• 26:37Speaker 05

  Hmm, it's complicated.

• 26:39Speaker 02

  Oh, Nate is, but he doesn't want to admit it. Again, this is question seven. The topic is fishing. This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean. And this is the Moneyball question, so for every correct answer,

• 26:56Speaker 07

  Oh.

• 26:57Speaker 02

  we're donating $100 to the National Wild Turkey Federation. Thank you Athletic Brewing for giving us a Moneyball question this week. Do you have this one right, Christine?

• 27:08Speaker 07

  I don't know if this is a Greek letter.

• 27:10Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 27:11Speaker 07

  Um, but it seems right.

• 27:12Speaker 02

  Nate, you have this one.

• 27:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:14Speaker 02

  Okay, so that might be $200.

• 27:16Speaker 07

  I think I know three of them.

• 27:17Speaker 02

  Athletic is going to send to the NWTF.

• 27:20Speaker 04

  It's like saving a quarter of a turkey or something.

• 27:22Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's worth, it's worth one turkey breast.

• 27:29Speaker 02

  This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean.

• 27:39Speaker 02

  Rest of our players are stumped. Tressa, how many Greek letters do you know?

• 27:44Speaker 05

  Well, I used to know them all.

• 27:46Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 27:47Speaker 05

  Now I don't know. Maybe three.

• 27:49Speaker 02

  Maybe three.

• 27:51Speaker 07

  That's what I, and I knew like three of them.

• 27:55Speaker 02

  This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean.

• 28:05Speaker 05

  Spencer?

• 28:06Speaker 02

  What's up?

• 28:07Speaker 05

  Are you looking for the whole word or just the letter?

• 28:09Speaker 02

  The whole word.

• 28:10Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 28:11Speaker 07

  Oh, I see what you're saying.

• 28:15Speaker 02

  That did not help out any of our players.

• 28:17Speaker 03

  No, it's making me question my answer even more.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  Shit.

• 28:22Speaker 02

  Tressa now going to her whiteboard.

• 28:26Speaker 02

  Cory, do you have this one right?

• 28:28Speaker 04

  I hope so.

• 28:29Speaker 02

  Okay. Is it a, is it a letter in the Greek alphabet?

• 28:32Speaker 04

  I don't know a single letter in the Greek alphabet.

• 28:37Speaker 02

  Do you guys give up?

• 28:38Speaker 04

  I mean, like, the Super Bowl, Super Bowl 59, are those letters?

• 28:42Speaker 03

  That's Roman numerals.

• 28:43Speaker 02

  Roman numerals? Yes, yes, they are.

• 28:49Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 28:52Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Delta, Alyssa says Sigma, Nate says Delta, Corey, Estuary, Logan, Delta, Chili without an answer, Roman says Sigma, Tressa says Theta. The correct answer is Delta. Christine, Nate, and Logan got that right, and that means they are making a $300 donation to N W T F via Athletic Brewing. Rivers deposit sediment where they meet another river, lake, or ocean, which often creates a braided waterway that's known as a delta. These areas are nutrient-rich and are known for their high density of vegetation, waterfowl, and fish.

• 29:38Speaker 02

  Question eight, the topic is conservation. The USDA defines this 11-letter word as, quote, "a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes."

• 29:56Speaker 07

  11, I don't know.

• 29:57Speaker 02

  11 letters. The USDA defines this 11-letter word as "a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes."

• 30:11Speaker 02

  Our room is stumped again. This is question eight, so we'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this.

• 30:19Speaker 02

  11-letter word. A linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes.

• 30:32Speaker 02

  How we doing, Gibronis? Is anybody confident in this one?

• 30:36Speaker 02

  Nope.

• 30:40Speaker 02

  Nobody.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  It's certain of their answer.

• 30:44Speaker 03

  I thought of the only 11-letter word I could think of. We'll see if it's a...

• 30:51Speaker 05

  I can't even think of an 11-letter word.

• 30:54Speaker 02

  The USDA defines this 11-letter word as a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes.

• 31:08Speaker 02

  So Logan has an 11-letter word, but he might be the only one.

• 31:16Speaker 02

  Do you guys give up?

• 31:17Speaker 03

  No.

• 31:17Speaker 05

  No.

• 31:18Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  No?

• 31:18Speaker 05

  How much time do we have?

• 31:20Speaker 02

  You can have a little more time. And this is question eight.

• 31:28Speaker 02

  Phil, what's our best score in the room right now? Do you know?

• 31:31Speaker 04

  No, the worst.

• 31:32Speaker 03

  Uh, you want me to just the number or the player?

• 31:35Speaker 02

  Uh, just the number for now.

• 31:36Speaker 03

  Three.

• 31:36Speaker 02

  Three, okay.

• 31:39Speaker 03

  Will anybody hit five? Let's find out.

• 31:41Speaker 02

  Oh, Nate thinks he has four. Well, we'll get a correct.

• 31:44Speaker 03

  Don't know about that, Nate.

• 31:47Speaker 04

  Come on again!

• 31:51Speaker 02

  What could this be called?

• 31:54Speaker 02

  An 11-letter word, a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes.

• 32:06Speaker 02

  I think we're running out of time. You guys give up?

• 32:08Speaker 03

  Send it.

• 32:10Speaker 02

  Oh, Logan.

• 32:12Speaker 03

  No, it's not 11 letters. Never mind.

• 32:13Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying flood plant. Alyssa without an answer. Nate says, what's that say, Nate?

• 32:22Steven Rinella?

  Erosion line.

• 32:23Speaker 02

  Uh, Corey without an answer. Logan says Mississippi hedge. Chelly without an answer.

• 32:29Speaker 03

  I just said Mississippi.

• 32:32Speaker 02

  Robin without an answer. Tressa says plantation. The correct answer is shelter belt.

• 32:39Speaker 05

  What?

• 32:41Speaker 02

  Shelter belt.

• 32:44Speaker 02

  You guys have never heard that? Well, Corey, I grew up in Montana. I feel like there's not a lot of shelter belts in this part of the country. But you get east of here, they're all over. Shelter belts are planted to protect farmsteads, save energy, and enhance wildlife habitat. Many species use them for travel corridors, nesting sites, bedding, and food. The USDA and other agencies have programs that help pay for the planting of new shelter belts and the removal of old shelter belts. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

• 33:13Speaker 04

  We're not.

• 33:17Speaker 04

  Not much has changed since after question five, but a couple of people are racking it up. Corey unfortunately is not one of those people. He is out of the running. However, Corey's the only person out of the running.

• 33:29Speaker 02

  That's good news.

• 33:30Speaker 04

  Still come back. Tressa and Chili have two points, or I mean, sorry, one point apiece. Logan, Roman, and Alyssa have two points and tied up in first place. Christine and Nate with three. And after this answer recap, Spencer, Nate can challenge me if he'd like. He could have four, I don't know.

• 33:48Speaker 02

  Question, question nine, the topic is natural history. Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character.

• 34:04Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 34:05Speaker 02

  Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character. Corey, you have this one, right?

• 34:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:15Speaker 02

  Okay, that wasn't just like a...

• 34:16Speaker 04

  No fair, you have kids. Yeah, exactly.

• 34:22Speaker 02

  That wasn't just putting down the whiteboard like, I got zero points, damn it. That was a, I got this one right.

• 34:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:29Speaker 02

  Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character.

• 34:38Speaker 04

  A pack of wolves?

• 34:39Speaker 05

  Character, not the movie.

• 34:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, Disney character.

• 34:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, I think that's where I'm stuck.

• 34:45Speaker 05

  A pack of wolves?

• 34:46Speaker 02

  A pack of wolves.

• 34:54Speaker 02

  Nate, you got this one right?

• 34:55Speaker 04

  I think I have the movie, but I never watched it.

• 34:58Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 34:59Speaker 04

  So I have a description that maybe you will probably not take.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 35:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'd say most likely not.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Uh, last time we had a Disney-related question, we had Nate, uh, who had a retort at, I think, Randall saying that it was a question about, uh, Mickey Mouse's dog. And Nate had to tell Randall that Mickey does not own Goofy.

• 35:28Speaker 02

  Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character.

• 35:38Speaker 02

  Alyssa, how do you feel about your answer? Not very good. Okay, you have a Disney character down? Yes, but it's not who I think it is. Another stumper for our room.

• 35:53Speaker 02

  Corey may be the only one with the correct answer. Phil, would you get this one right? Uh, yes, Spencer, I would. Phil would win this episode of jabroni trivia. Oh, I, I've never heard of a shelter belt, though, so I don't know. Oh, okay. It'd be a close one.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 36:10Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Baloo. Belle, Belle. Belle, I'm sorry. Like Beauty and the Beast. Alyssa says Pocahontas. Nate says Brave. Corey says Mowgli. Logan says Simba. Roman says the kid in the Jungle Book, which is Mowgli. Tressa says Tarzan. The correct answer is Mowgli. Oh, no. Corey got that one right.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Corey's on the board!

• 36:39Speaker 02

  He is the kid from the Jungle Book.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  Yes, I was thinking, all I could think of was Jungle Book. Are you giving it to Roman?

• 36:45Speaker 02

  We're not gonna give it to Roman. That's, that's not good enough. Dina Sanichar was a feral boy who was discovered in a cave in India in 1867. He was about six years old at the time and was living with wolves. Sanichar was taken to an orphanage and spent years... Only walking on all fours and eating raw meat. He never did learn to talk or communicate with other humans and died at the age of 34. Just like Sanachar, Mowgli from the Jungle Book, was raised by wolves. And Phil is showing us a picture there of Dina Sanachar. Again, they found him in 1867 in a cave in India.

• 37:22Speaker 06

  That's crazy.

• 37:23Speaker 03

  So crazy.

• 37:25Speaker 02

  All right, here's a correct answer review for our listeners at home and Nate. Number one was blue, two, Washington, three, aviary, four, bowie knife, five, Kmart, six, Wisconsin, seven, Delta, eight, shelter belt, nine, Mowgli.

• 37:47Speaker 06

  Phil was right.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  Phil, give us a final scoreboard update before we do question 10.

• 37:51Speaker 04

  Sure thing. Uh, it is down. Well, here's, I guess, I mean, Logan, Christina, Alyssa, Nate, and Roman are all still in the game, I guess. Uh, Logan, Roman, Alyssa still have two points apiece. Christina and Nate are tied up in first with three.

• 38:08Speaker 02

  All right.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  But now Cory's on the board with ones. Everyone's got a point.

• 38:12Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 38:13Speaker 02

  Question 10. Everybody gave Cory a pity clap, except for Cory. Question 10, the topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Rob Welling for sending this great question. Rob is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. Name two of the six states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded. So that's like if you took the hottest temperature recorded in all 50 states. Which of those has the lowest of the hottest temperatures? Does everyone understand what we're looking for?

• 38:55Speaker 02

  If you took the hottest temperature ever recorded in every single state, and then you looked at what the lowest number was from that list. We're looking for the states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded.

• 39:08Speaker 03

  So the two coldest states.

• 39:09Speaker 02

  Two of the six. You need to name two of the six.

• 39:15Speaker 04

  Is this all during the same timeframe Spencer?

• 39:18Speaker 02

  No, this is just since they've ever been recording temperature, which I don't know how far back that goes. But there's a good span of history there for you to choose from. Name two of the six states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded. And we have Nate and Christine tied up in first place, but there are a few players who are just one point behind.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  We haven't had a tiebreaker in a while.

• 39:45Speaker 02

  It's been a minute.

• 39:50Speaker 02

  Nate, how do you feel about your answer? Oh dude.

• 39:56Speaker 02

  Okay. I'm between two. Christine, how do you feel about your answer?

• 40:00Speaker 07

  Um, I, I feel okay. I'm writing the six and then going across, oh, four.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  Okay, oh, there you go.

• 40:08Speaker 07

  I'm not saying the six are the correct six.

• 40:11Speaker 02

  That's the move of a winner Nate.

• 40:15Speaker 04

  He's only got three down.

• 40:16Speaker 02

  I know, I'm writing three more now.

• 40:17Speaker 07

  Oh, so embarrassing.

• 40:20Speaker 02

  Name two of the six states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded.

• 40:27Speaker 05

  The lowest winning score for trivia is four, right?

• 40:30Speaker 02

  I think fours, that's right, we're going, jabroni episodes are exempt from that, uh, yeah, they're not, mhm.

• 40:37Speaker 05

  Lowest hottest?

• 40:39Speaker 02

  Lowest hottest temperature ever recorded, we're looking for two of the six. Who's in second place Phil? Who's, who's competing? Uh, Alyssa, Logan and Roman, I'll have two points. Okay, Alyssa, how do you feel about your answer?

• 40:53Speaker 05

  I feel good, but I have three, I need to.

• 40:54Speaker 02

  Hmm, okay, Roman? I'm feeling decent. Okay, Logan?

• 41:00Speaker 03

  So so, we'll see. You cheated.

• 41:04Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready? Okay, Alyssa and Christine are doing some crossing out now.

• 41:10Speaker 07

  Okay.

• 41:11Speaker 02

  Phil, we just lost the TV screen.

• 41:13Speaker 03

  Don't care.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, that's been happening.

• 41:15Steven Rinella?

  A lot lately. I'll try to get it back online.

• 41:17Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 41:19Speaker 07

  I don't know if this is right.

• 41:20Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Alaska and Minnesota. Alyssa says Alaska and Washington. Nate says Alaska and Maine. Cory says Alaska and Maine. Logan, Washington and Oregon. Chili, Alaska and Maine. Roman, Alaska and Maine. Tressa, Oregon and Vermont.

• 41:48Speaker 07

  I'm nervous.

• 41:49Speaker 02

  The six states are Alaska, Hawaii,

• 41:52Speaker 07

  What?

• 41:53Speaker 02

  Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. Making Nate our winner. Nate got that one right. Christine did not. Christine, did you have some of those other states on your list of six? No, okay. That should make you feel a little better. It'd have been worse if you had the other four or five, uh, but not that one. Nate got it right with Alaska and Maine. Alaska and Hawaii have the lowest hottest temperature of all 50 states, which is 100 degrees. That's followed by Rhode Island with 104, Maine with 105, and Connecticut and New Hampshire with 106. Just missing the top six are Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York.

• 42:36Speaker 02

  Did a lot of people get that one right? A lot of Alaskas and Maines in here. Groom did pretty well. All right, Nate, you get to choose where the $1,000 donation from Meat Eater and Athletic Brewing goes.

• 42:47Steven Rinella?

  I think, since we kind of dropped the bag on the Turk, the Moneyball question, we'll get the rest of that turkey and donate all 1,000 bucks to NWTF.

• 42:56Speaker 02

  All right, so via the Moneyball question and the Athletic Brewing money, or donation match and Meat Eater, we're sending $1,300 to NWTF. Well done, Jbronies. That was, uh, may not have been a good game or, uh, like a strong game, but it was a fun game. Yeah. Yeah.

• 43:14Speaker 07

  Sure.

• 43:15Speaker 02

  $1,300 going to the NWTF. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivial and Game Show, where conservation always wins.

• 43:24Speaker 04

  Happy birthday, Spencer.

• 43:25Speaker 03

  Happy birthday.

• 43:25Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 43:28Speaker 06

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

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.

• 44:38Steven Rinella?

  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've 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. Visit weathertech.com for your holiday shopping today.
