  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 Corey, John, Marge, Max, Nate, and Sarah. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for 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. And we have an IFAQ this week. If you have an IFAQ, send it to trivia@themead eater.com with the subject line, IFAQ. Skylar Brammer says, I would get discouraged losing all the time to Brody and Randall. Do the jabronis, do the jabronis get sad? Never consider not playing? No.

• 3:28Steven Rinella?

  No.

• 3:28Speaker 05

  Very frustrated. Yes.

• 3:30Speaker 06

  It's a nice break from the other work at the office.

• 3:34Speaker 05

  You just gotta have fun with it and embrace the jabroniness.

• 3:38Speaker 04

  Well, it's only jabronis here today. So there is no Brody or Randall to lose to.

• 3:43Steven Rinella?

  Here's a question. What if you were to win the like jabroni championship?

• 3:51Speaker 04

  Like Corey?

• 3:51Steven Rinella?

  Corey. Does he get an invite to the real championship?

• 3:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, I think so.

• 3:55Steven Rinella?

  And then what if he won the real championship?

• 3:57Speaker 05

  Well, then he's not a jabroni anymore.

• 3:58Steven Rinella?

  It's kind of like, what was that soccer team that did that?

• 4:00Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's like Premier League soccer, like you get relegated if you lose.

• 4:03Speaker 04

  Ted Lasso.

• 4:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 4:05Steven Rinella?

  Don't know who that is.

• 4:08Steven Rinella?

  I don't think that's soccer.

• 4:08Speaker 06

  Spectacular.

• 4:09Speaker 04

  Also, according to Nate, there will be blood is. Quote, whack.

• 4:12Steven Rinella?

  I watched, like, is, go watch it if you haven't seen it.

• 4:16Speaker 04

  Nate came in with a real jabroni take this morning, telling Phil that he didn't like that movie.

• 4:21Steven Rinella?

  No, I didn't say that at all. I enjoyed it, but it was whack.

• 4:24Speaker 04

  Okay, but it was whack. So, six jabronis in the room today, no Brody or Randall to defeat them. And we have some housekeeping. On a previous episode of trivia, we had a question about what item fur companies will trade for deer hides. The correct answer was gloves, but a few listeners wrote in saying they know of businesses that will do the exchange for a knife instead of gloves. And the day we played, Marge said knife, but did not get credit for a correct answer. So, we're fixing that today. Marge, you got that one right for saying knife. Well done.

• 4:57Speaker 06

  Great. I still lost.

• 5:00Speaker 04

  You got one more extra point.

• 5:01Speaker 06

  I did.

• 5:02Speaker 04

  Two weeks removed. Some more housekeeping. Also, we have a brand new game over on the Meat Eater website. On Mondays, we have Meat Eater Turtle. It's like World of Better. On Wednesdays, we have Meat Eater Crossword Puzzles. And now on Fridays, we have Meat Eater Word Search. Word Search might sound elementary, but I think it is the hardest we have between all three games. Because unlike most word searches, we don't tell you what words you're searching for. We just tell you the theme of the words, and it's your job to find them. The first three word searches are available on our website right now. The theme of the first one is fishing lures. The second one is Boone and Crockett Whitetail States.

• 5:44Speaker 04

  And the third one is birds. So, for example, you know that you're searching for the top five Boone and Crockett Whitetail States in the grid of letters, but we don't tell you what those states are. We always provide crew member scores for you to go head to head with. For Crosswords, it's Randall. For Turtle, it's Yanis. And for Word Search, it's Nate. So, head over to the meat eater dot com slash games to check out Word Search and see if you can best Nate Mason. New games drop three times a week.

• 6:13Speaker 05

  How's it been, Nate?

• 6:14Steven Rinella?

  It's hard.

• 6:14Speaker 05

  Yeah?

• 6:15Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, I like it.

• 6:16Speaker 05

  Cool.

• 6:16Speaker 04

  I can see how long folks spend playing the, each individual game. Word Search takes people the most amount of time to finish.

• 6:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, I can see that.

• 6:25Speaker 04

  So Nate is being a good guinea pig for us, and he's volunteering his score out there every week for people to go and destroy and say, haha, Nate.

• 6:34Steven Rinella?

  Yeah.

• 6:34Speaker 04

  Better than you.

• 6:35Steven Rinella?

  It's scary. It's scary. I don't care about the stranger. But I care about my older brother.

• 6:39Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 6:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:40Speaker 04

  You're gonna be hearing from him.

• 6:42Steven Rinella?

  Dude, we, oh, we have so many ongoing. Yeah.

• 6:46Speaker 04

  So Nate has played the first ones, Fishing Lures, Boone and Crockett, Whitetail States, and Birds. Uh, which one was the hardest between those three?

• 6:53Steven Rinella?

  Oh.

• 6:56Speaker 04

  Fishing Lures, Boone and Crockett, Whitetail States.

• 6:58Steven Rinella?

  If anyone knows about my knowledge, Fishing Lures was tough.

• 7:02Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 7:03Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, that's a hard one for me.

• 7:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, I bet Fishing Lures and Birds were the toughest, because there's only, there's only fifty states to choose from.

• 7:09Speaker 04

  Sure. Proper down, stick out a little more in the word search.

• 7:12Steven Rinella?

  The problem is, you get stuck, you're like, okay, I think, you know, I, I think Indiana, or what, what, fill in a state is a Boone and Crockett state. And so you're looking for Indiana, and then turns out it's not, and then that's, it's tricky, dude, it's tricky.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  So we are now giving you a lot of ways to kill time at that desk job you really hate. Uh, go over to themeat eater dot com slash games. New games showing up Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Uh, the Shelby index for today is a three, so our brother should get six correct answers.

• 7:42Steven Rinella?

  Wow, we're gonna get like two.

• 7:43Speaker 04

  I think you guys have it in you, I think you'll do well.

• 7:45Speaker 05

  I'm gonna win now, look at these.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 7:53Speaker 05

  It's kinda making my head hurt.

• 7:54Speaker 04

  Max has put on Brody's glasses.

• 7:57Speaker 05

  I'm gonna send him a picture.

• 8:00Speaker 07

  It's time to win everything.

• 8:08Speaker 04

  Game on, suckers. What's that doing to your eyesight over there, Max?

• 8:12Speaker 05

  It's not helping.

• 8:14Speaker 04

  Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and this will be multiple choice. When is the windiest part of a day? Is it morning, middle of the day, evening, or middle of the night?

• 8:30Speaker 04

  When is the windiest part of a day? Your four choices, morning, middle of the day, evening, middle of the night.

• 8:42Speaker 05

  I gotta take a better photo for Brody.

• 8:45Speaker 04

  Max has some readers that were attached to Brody's microphone, pushed all the way down to the end of his nose.

• 8:53Speaker 04

  Question one, when is the windiest part of a day? Morning, middle of the day, evening, middle of the night? Are our jabronis ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says evening, Cory, middle of the day, Sarah, middle of the day, John, morning, Max, middle of the night, Marge, middle of the day. The correct answer is middle of the day. Three of our jabronis Cory, Sarah, and Marge got that one right. The afternoon is windiest because the sun heats the ground, which causes warm air to rise and create turbulence. This process is called vertical mixing, which draws strong winds from higher altitudes down to the surface.

• 9:39Speaker 04

  Then at night, the ground cools and the air stabilizes. Winds are typically strongest on sunny days. I think I've lived in Bozeman for seven years now. We are in the windiest two week stretch.

• 9:49Speaker 05

  It's unbelievable.

• 9:50Speaker 04

  My life here. Have you guys lost anything in these winds? For reference, we had 90 mile an hour winds in the valley the other day. Have you guys lost anything important?

• 9:59Speaker 05

  A grill cover.

• 10:00Speaker 04

  A grill cover. Sarah, you lost a grill cover as well. I lost a grill cover, yeah. Dang. I had a neighbor lose a trampoline. Oh, like gone, gone, or has it been found? It was found, but it went over the fence into the neighbor's yard and crashed into their shit.

• 10:14Speaker 04

  So they might owe some money.

• 10:16Speaker 05

  My kid's basketball hoop isn't round anymore. Like egg shaped, fell over.

• 10:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, there is, it was, it also happened on recycling day. So like I didn't even try taking our bin out to the curb, but other folks did. And so now there's just recycling. I saw a post in Ask Bozeman. That was my neighborhood. Ask Bozeman, Facebook, someone was like.

• 10:40Speaker 04

  Someone needs to take their, all their trash out. They dumped it all over the yard. That was our local celebrity. Seventy-five miles an hour.

• 10:48Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's our local.

• 10:49Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 10:50Speaker 06

  Influencer.

• 10:50Speaker 04

  That, that was in my neighborhood. Uh, created some good drama.

• 10:55Speaker 06

  I don't remember where, oh, I'll show you.

• 10:56Speaker 04

  If you like reading. We'll show you afterwards.

• 10:59Speaker 06

  I should say names on the air.

• 11:01Speaker 04

  That's a really good. There will be no scratching of anything. No censorship.

• 11:07Speaker 06

  Just follow Hipsters of Bozeman and you'll know.

• 11:10Speaker 04

  Marge, Marge made an appearance on Hipsters of Bozeman.

• 11:13Speaker 06

  Back in the day.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  Years ago.

• 11:15Speaker 06

  Years ago. I think it was in the first twenty months.

• 11:18Speaker 05

  Chester gets called out all the time.

• 11:20Speaker 04

  They like Chester though.

• 11:21Speaker 05

  They like Chester, yeah.

• 11:21Speaker 04

  I always get a little worried wearing like first like camouflage. Ooh, you think they're gonna get ya? Oh yeah, every once in a while, there's someone, like two guys at a street corner wearing like camouflage poffies. Sure.

• 11:33Speaker 05

  Just don't be wearing a cowboy hat.

• 11:35Speaker 04

  Marge, what, what were you wearing when they, uh, when they got you?

• 11:39Speaker 06

  I had.

• 11:40Speaker 04

  It's, it's typically about what your outfit is. That's like what they're looking for.

• 11:43Speaker 06

  I had white platform Doc Martens on, which probably were the dead giveaway. Some high, high-rise like Carhartt looking pants. And then just like a t-shirt.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  Marge is just too stylish.

• 11:55Speaker 06

  I don't, it wasn't, I think it was the boots. They were cool.

• 11:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:59Speaker 06

  Kind of out of style now.

• 12:00Speaker 04

  Let the haters hate.

• 12:01Speaker 06

  I know. I actually was, I felt honored.

• 12:03Speaker 04

  There you go. Question two. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which is one by Daniel Nichols. For sending this great question, Daniel 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, then send your question to trivia at the meat eater dot com. This canine, whose nine-letter name translates to Badger Dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground.

• 12:30Speaker 04

  Badger Dog. Hmm. This canine, whose nine-letter name translates to, quote, Badger Dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground.

• 12:43Speaker 04

  Our bronies look stumped, except for Sarah. She already has an answer. Sarah, do you have an answer with nine letters? Uh, it does have nine letters. I think it's misspelled, but it's, I think, right. My mom. Shout out Les. Terrified of these dogs. Oh, alright. There's a hint if you know Sarah's family. This canine, whose nine-letter name translates to Badger Dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Sarah, the only jabroni with an answer so far.

• 13:14Speaker 04

  Nine-letter name.

• 13:18Speaker 05

  I'm just, I can't think of five dog names right now.

• 13:22Speaker 06

  Aren't you a dog guy, Max?

• 13:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I just can't. It's, I don't know if it's glasses or it's just the pressure.

• 13:28Speaker 04

  Cory, do you have an answer you like?

• 13:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think it's pretty good.

• 13:30Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 13:31Speaker 05

  If it's spelled correctly, same.

• 13:32Speaker 04

  Two of our jabronis are feeling confident. This canine, whose nine-letter name translates to Badger Dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground.

• 13:42Speaker 05

  How cool.

• 13:43Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. There's a great book that talks about the American Kennel Club, like, dog shows. And they go through, like, breed, history. Uh-huh. And conformity and all that. If you're a dog nerd, it's a good one to read. Uh, the AKC is who helped me write this flavor text today. They know some things about dogs.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  How you doing, Max?

• 14:07Speaker 05

  Those glasses could be a little thicker.

• 14:10Speaker 04

  He's a different marker? Can we get, uh, Marge?

• 14:12Speaker 05

  Throw it against the door.

• 14:13Speaker 04

  We got a couple more markers there.

• 14:14Speaker 05

  This one's not much better.

• 14:16Speaker 04

  There we go, okay.

• 14:17Speaker 05

  I know, when it's gonna be one of those answers, when you're, when you say the correct answer, I'm just like, why didn't I think of that? I think my uncle has one.

• 14:26Speaker 05

  Badger Dog?

• 14:27Speaker 06

  You just don't know the name?

• 14:28Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 14:29Speaker 06

  Okay, this one doesn't work either.

• 14:30Speaker 04

  Oh, no. We need another replacement marker.

• 14:33Speaker 05

  We need a basketball hook on that door.

• 14:36Speaker 04

  Sorry, Max.

• 14:38Speaker 05

  Really helping that concentration.

• 14:40Speaker 04

  This canine, whose nine-letter name translates to Badger Dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Cory and Sarah are coming out of the gate hot. They think they're gonna be two questions correct.

• 14:55Speaker 06

  I got a nine-letter dog.

• 14:56Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 14:57Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 14:57Speaker 04

  Do you think it could be a dog that was bred to fight badgers in their dens?

• 15:01Speaker 06

  It's my family's dog.

• 15:02Speaker 04

  That's definitely right, Max. Right.

• 15:04Speaker 06

  But, uh...

• 15:06Speaker 05

  Lot of erasing.

• 15:07Speaker 06

  I think.

• 15:08Speaker 04

  That's a lot, that's a lot of added letters.

• 15:13Speaker 04

  John, Max, and Nate are stumped.

• 15:18Speaker 04

  You boys give up yet?

• 15:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm done.

• 15:19Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 15:21Speaker 04

  Nate's uncle is going to be disappointed in him. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate without an answer. Cory says rottweiler. Sarah says dachshund. John without an answer. Max says shih-tzu. Uh, Maggie says schnauzer. Schnauzer. It's why they're so long. Yep. The correct answer is dachshund. I knew it. Sarah. Got that one right.

• 15:46Speaker 05

  Nice job, Sarah.

• 15:47Speaker 04

  That's why they're, that's why they are the shape they are. Even though they don't hunt badgers anymore, they're long and skinny because people used to pull them out for, by their tails. Germans started to shape the dachshund breed in the late 17th century. Their goal was to create a dog that's low to the ground, has a long rib cage, and has a well-hinged jaw with large teeth. The dachshund's job was to chase badgers into their dens and then drag them back to the surface. But what made those first dachshunds such good hunters also made them difficult to train. As one early breeder said, quote, "Dachshunds even disobey me when I instruct them to do something they want to do." Does your uncle have a dachshund?

• 16:25Speaker 01

  No, it's my godmother. She's got like four of them and they all, they pee all over her ass.

• 16:29Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 16:30Speaker 01

  Love you, Auntie Vicky.

• 16:33Speaker 04

  Just as honorary as those OG dachshunds that were hunting badgers. Question three, the topic is fishing. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939.

• 16:46Speaker 05

  Ugh.

• 16:47Speaker 04

  The jabronis have their swagger back. Max likes his answer. John is quick to answer. Cory has an answer.

• 16:54Speaker 05

  I bet, I bet Shelby got this one right.

• 16:57Speaker 04

  Um, she did not get this one right, no. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939.

• 17:05Speaker 01

  I know we've moved on, but Spencer asked me to.

• 17:07Speaker 04

  Show this picture, so. Oh, yes. There's one of those OG little Badger Hunters.

• 17:12Speaker 05

  Oh, I love the beard on him.

• 17:13Speaker 06

  Me too.

• 17:14Speaker 05

  I haven't seen one with the beard. I would, yeah, that would.

• 17:16Speaker 06

  I like that.

• 17:17Speaker 04

  In an old, black and white photo like that, now I'm like, okay, that looks like a Badger Hunter. They would go toe to toe.

• 17:22Speaker 05

  I love it, Marge.

• 17:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, they've softened over time, I think.

• 17:25Speaker 06

  They're a lot tougher than the current breed.

• 17:27Speaker 05

  Don't show Nate that answer.

• 17:29Speaker 06

  Socks.

• 17:30Speaker 05

  I feel like Brody, because Brody's constantly like this the whole time, like, looking at you.

• 17:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 17:36Speaker 06

  Yes, he's a big stare.

• 17:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, the Brody stare down.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, I feel like his neck would start hurting, you know, just like always looking down.

• 17:43Speaker 04

  This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. Max, do you like Marge's answer?

• 17:50Speaker 05

  I'd love it.

• 17:50Speaker 04

  Okay, is everybody ready? My beef with Randall throwing me off.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Oh, no.

• 17:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, I've heard about it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Jupiter. The rest in the room says Mercury. They got it. Hey. The correct answer is Mercury Marine.

• 18:09Speaker 05

  By Rappi Johnson.

• 18:10Speaker 06

  Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

• 18:14Speaker 04

  The company was originally called Thor Outdoors.

• 18:18Speaker 06

  She was friends with.

• 18:19Speaker 04

  But later changed to Mercury Marine. Brands skyrocketed during World War II when they designed the best chainsaw on the market and won a government contract to produce them for the Army. Their chainsaws were able to cut through a 24-inch log in 17 seconds with the closest competitor being at 52 seconds.

• 18:37Speaker 05

  Amazing.

• 18:37Speaker 06

  Damn.

• 18:38Speaker 05

  Fun fact.

• 18:39Speaker 04

  Question four, the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Adam Smith. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scotts Bluff while moving through this state. So we're looking for the name of the state. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scotts Bluff while moving through this state. Max already has his answer. Max, do you have this one right?

• 19:06Speaker 05

  Yes, I do. I can't be that.

• 19:08Speaker 04

  I feel like since. He's got it. It's like a hint.

• 19:12Speaker 05

  That's the game I'm playing.

• 19:15Speaker 04

  The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state.

• 19:21Speaker 06

  I'm gonna take that hint too.

• 19:24Speaker 05

  Playing the how well do you know Max Barter game.

• 19:28Speaker 04

  You assume there's a reason Max knows this. Now it's influencing some answers in the room.

• 19:33Speaker 05

  I want to give everyone a hint.

• 19:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, do it.

• 19:36Speaker 05

  But I'm not gonna, because I'm losing.

• 19:38Speaker 04

  It's a competitive game. This is question four. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state.

• 19:56Speaker 04

  Corey, how do you like your answer? I don't at all. It's not good. I only played the video game. I don't remember where they were going.

• 20:03Speaker 05

  Well, they were going to Oregon.

• 20:07Speaker 05

  Presumably. But what passes through?

• 20:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, where were they? Where's the trail? I can see it.

• 20:15Speaker 04

  The Oregon Trail. Just not interposed on a map. Passes by Chimney Rock. Time's up, Spencer. Forgive me, but they passed through multiple states, right?

• 20:24Speaker 05

  Multiple.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, we're trying to narrow this. They could have started in Oregon. And there's chimney rocks all over.

• 20:30Speaker 05

  No, there's only one chimney rock.

• 20:32Speaker 04

  I guess I've called.

• 20:33Speaker 05

  Alright, time's up, Spencer.

• 20:34Speaker 04

  Corey, do you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says South Dakota. Corey says Nevada. Sarah, North Dakota. John, South Dakota. Max, Nebraska. Marge, South Dakota. The correct answer is Nebraska. Max and only Max got that one right. Good job, Max. And there is a map of Nebraska on our wall, about eight feet in the air.

• 21:01Speaker 05

  Scott, no, no, Scott's Bluff is like, uh, on the western side.

• 21:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, there's like 20,000 people who live. Why do you know about Nebraska?

• 21:08Speaker 05

  Uh, I spent a lot of time in Scott's Bluff.

• 21:11Speaker 06

  Hutton.

• 21:11Speaker 05

  Hutton.

• 21:12Speaker 04

  And they just had like a true crime thing play out there at Scotts Bluff National Monument, where a dead body turned up of a dude who like walked away from a family gathering. People suspected the in-laws, they've ruled it an accident. Anyway, that just all played out a few weeks ago. The Oregon Trail goes through six states, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon. The trail enters Nebraska from Kansas, following the Little Blue River until it hits the Platte River. It was here that travelers would encounter thousands of bison, which gave them fresh meat to eat and buffalo chips to burn. Question five. The topic is biology. This four-letter word refers to the thin-walled

• 21:54Speaker 04

  pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus, where food is stored before entering the stomach.

• 22:03Speaker 04

  This four-letter word refers to the thin-walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus, where food is stored before entering the stomach.

• 22:12Speaker 05

  These glasses are working.

• 22:15Speaker 04

  Max thinks he's got two in a row.

• 22:19Speaker 05

  This is gonna be three in a row for me.

• 22:20Speaker 04

  Three in a row. Okay, we're gonna get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this.

• 22:23Speaker 05

  I think in beer pong, you call that on fire.

• 22:26Speaker 04

  That's right. He was heating up.

• 22:27Speaker 06

  Heating up.

• 22:28Speaker 04

  Now he's on fire. Gotta throw him the ball back.

• 22:34Speaker 04

  This four-letter word refers to the thin-walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus, where food is stored before entering the stomach. Max has now passed the glasses to Nate.

• 22:45Speaker 05

  You gotta keep them low.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  See if the power is indeed in the lenses.

• 22:51Speaker 04

  Max likes his answer. John, do you have this one right? I think so, yes. Sarah, do you have this one right? I do. Marge, do you have this one right?

• 22:58Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:58Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 22:59Speaker 06

  Consulting my office, mate.

• 23:00Speaker 04

  Four of our jabronis say they have this one.

• 23:04Speaker 05

  I'm just gonna give myself the point right now.

• 23:06Speaker 04

  Corey and Nate are not as confident.

• 23:08Speaker 05

  Easy bud, easy.

• 23:11Speaker 04

  Four-letter word refers to the thin-walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus, where food is stored before entering the stomach.

• 23:21Speaker 04

  Corey and Nate.

• 23:23Speaker 05

  It's not a gizzard. Nope, that's...

• 23:26Speaker 06

  Too many letters.

• 23:26Speaker 04

  That's, that's what I thought and then counted them. It's a giz.

• 23:30Speaker 05

  Some people call it giz.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  I was gonna say a zard.

• 23:33Speaker 06

  Gizzard is the colloquial term?

• 23:36Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 23:36Speaker 06

  For giz.

• 23:37Speaker 04

  Come on. Alright, time's up. Wait, give me like, give me ten seconds.

• 23:40Speaker 06

  No.

• 23:40Speaker 04

  Nate, I like the gla- the glasses, though. I usually wear glasses. Okay.

• 23:45Speaker 05

  For eyes.

• 23:47Speaker 04

  This four-letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Remind me to tell you about my eye surgery. Crazy. I, I can't remember. Corey, do you give up? It's just your brain. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Ah! Nate says sack. Corey, without an answer. The rest of the room says crop. They got it. The correct answer is crop. When a bird swallows food, it goes from the throat to the esophagus, to the crop, to the first stomach, to the gizzard. The flexibility of the crop allows birds to eat more food than necessary and store some for later. Migrating birds tend to have small crops, while seed-eating birds tend to have big crops.

• 24:29Speaker 05

  It's so cool to, once you harvest a bird, to open it up and like, see what they're eating and like, that's like, oh, I should focus on this, you know?

• 24:36Speaker 04

  Dude.

• 24:37Speaker 05

  You can see it in grouse, pheasants, ducks, geese.

• 24:39Speaker 04

  Tony and I did it like, two weeks ago.

• 24:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:41Speaker 04

  He was like, "Look, it's soybeans in the crop." And the digestion has like, barely started at that point, so it looks like if they have corn in there, if they have seeds in there, it looks like exactly how it was when they ate it.

• 24:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  Uh, you can learn a lot by the crop.

• 24:54Speaker 05

  One time, I found a minnow in a mallard.

• 24:57Speaker 04

  Oh, that's cool. Not known for eating a lot of fish.

• 25:00Speaker 05

  Very weird.

• 25:01Speaker 04

  Phil, give us a scoreboard update through five questions.

• 25:03Speaker 06

  Oh, Nate.

• 25:04Speaker 04

  Nate Mason. Wow.

• 25:08Speaker 04

  Nate, I'm gonna tie it up, bro. I'm gonna tie it up in the last five. Nate declared he's not a jabroni before we started recording. And how many points does he have, Phil?

• 25:18Speaker 01

  Uh, that looks like a big fat zero.

• 25:21Speaker 04

  I'm going five for five on the back half.

• 25:25Speaker 01

  Coming up after Nate, are Corey and Joe?

• 25:28Speaker 04

  John, who have two points apiece. Max and Maggie have three. And in first place is Sarah with four points. Sarah, good game from the jabronis.

• 27:27Speaker 04

  Question six. The topic is wildlife. What continent are aardvarks native to?

• 27:37Speaker 04

  What continent are aardvarks native to? Looks like a lot of guesses happening. Or do you know this one, Marge?

• 27:45Speaker 06

  I know it.

• 27:45Speaker 04

  Okay, Marge knows it. Our other five players are just taking a guess.

• 27:50Speaker 06

  If I'm wrong, I guess then I don't know.

• 27:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, two ways.

• 27:55Speaker 04

  What continent are aardvarks?

• 27:57Speaker 06

  What cartoon character was an aardvark?

• 28:00Speaker 04

  Oh, we will talk about that in the flavor text.

• 28:03Speaker 06

  I know that. Yeah, me too.

• 28:05Speaker 04

  Aardvark is typically the first word in dictionaries because it does have that double A at the beginning.

• 28:11Speaker 05

  Oh, that's a cool fact.

• 28:12Speaker 04

  What continent are aardvarks native to?

• 28:20Speaker 04

  How you doing, Nate? Stuck on two.

• 28:25Speaker 04

  Cory, do you like your answer?

• 28:28Speaker 05

  I feel pretty good, 60% or so.

• 28:30Speaker 04

  Sarah, the leader of the jabroni so far, do you have this one right? I don't know if I do. I kind of guessed.

• 28:37Speaker 05

  It's a big world out there.

• 28:38Speaker 04

  There's a lot of continents. But these are only native to one of them. Yeah, there is, yeah, there's.

• 28:45Speaker 05

  Well, two. Yeah. I'm stuck on two. Yep.

• 28:51Speaker 05

  Should I go?

• 28:55Speaker 04

  Waiting on Maxwell and Jonathan.

• 28:59Speaker 05

  Those glasses do make you look smarter. Yeah. Thanks. Just keep them.

• 29:04Speaker 04

  John, do you have your answer? I do. Max, do you have your answer?

• 29:08Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah.

• 29:12Speaker 04

  Yes, or maybe?

• 29:15Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Australia. Cory says Australia.

• 29:21Speaker 05

  Uh-oh.

• 29:21Speaker 04

  Sarah, Africa.

• 29:23Speaker 05

  Uh-oh.

• 29:23Speaker 04

  John, South America. Max, Africa. Maggie, Australia. The correct answer is Africa.

• 29:35Speaker 04

  Max and Sarah.

• 29:37Speaker 06

  Wrong.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Got that one.

• 29:38Speaker 05

  I was gonna do South America, but I'm glad I did Africa. Dude.

• 29:41Speaker 04

  They are also known as African ant bears with the name aardvark meaning earth pig. They are not closely related to pigs at all and are the only member of their genus. The most famous aardvark, Arthur, lives in Elwood City, which is loosely based on Erie, Pennsylvania.

• 30:00Speaker 04

  Shout out PBS Kids. There you go, PBS.

• 30:03Speaker 06

  But they didn't tell me where our work was.

• 30:05Speaker 04

  I know, just Elwood City. Long ways from home in Africa. Dang it. Come on. Question seven, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Clint Gregory.

• 30:15Speaker 05

  Is it getting hot in here?

• 30:16Speaker 04

  Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher Walken in this 2005 comedy.

• 30:25Steven Rinella?

  I didn't know they were in the same. I didn't know Bradley Cooper and Vince Vaughn were in a movie together.

• 30:30Speaker 04

  Corey has his answer. Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting.

• 30:34Steven Rinella?

  Drop a goose egg.

• 30:35Speaker 04

  With Bradley Cooper and Christopher Walken in this 2005 comedy. Nate has zero points through six questions and he doesn't think he has number seven correct either.

• 30:46Steven Rinella?

  No.

• 30:47Speaker 04

  Corey, do you have this one right? Yeah. Okay. Corey knows it.

• 30:52Speaker 05

  Bradley Cooper?

• 30:54Speaker 04

  Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher Walken in this 2005 comedy and Phil is going to give us a Christopher Walken impression after this.

• 31:04Steven Rinella?

  I, I don't think I should.

• 31:08Steven Rinella?

  I don't do, I don't do very good impressions. Christopher Walken is so, so many people have good ones.

• 31:12Speaker 04

  Phil, but you give great impressions.

• 31:15Steven Rinella?

  Christopher Walken's not in the milieu. Is that the right word? I don't know. I'm not gonna look it up.

• 31:21Speaker 05

  Can I phone a friend?

• 31:23Speaker 04

  You cannot, but who would you call if you were able to? She would know this one?

• 31:26Speaker 06

  I would call my husband too.

• 31:28Speaker 05

  I feel like she's a big Bradley Cooper fan.

• 31:30Speaker 03

  Actually, thinking about it more, I, before I reveal my answer, I'm just gonna say I'm not that confident.

• 31:36Speaker 04

  Okay. You thought you were.

• 31:38Speaker 03

  It's a good answer, but man, the list of actors in there is throwing me off.

• 31:42Speaker 04

  Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher Walken in this 2005 comedy. Phil, would you get this one right?

• 31:51Steven Rinella?

  Yes.

• 31:51Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 31:52Steven Rinella?

  And I looked it up, milieu is not the right word.

• 31:58Speaker 04

  Nate, do you like your answer? Repertoire, that's the word.

• 32:01Speaker 05

  I hate myself today.

• 32:05Speaker 05

  What do you want me to say, Max? That I'm right? Do you want me to tell you? No. I have no idea.

• 32:14Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 32:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:15Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Wedding Crashers. Corey says Vice. Sarah, meet the parents. John, without an answer. Max, how to lose a guy in 10 days. Marge, without an answer. The correct answer is Wedding Crashers. Let's go. Wow! Redemption! Got that one right.

• 32:37Speaker 07

  I'm still out already.

• 32:38Speaker 05

  I was thinking the Dick Cheney movie.

• 32:40Speaker 04

  Found his first point of the day. Oh, yeah. Except that was like, what, 2019 or 2020?

• 32:45Speaker 05

  Isn't, isn't? No, I thought it was right around the 2000s. Well, I don't think any of those people are in the... I don't think they are either.

• 32:51Speaker 04

  Owen Wilson is. That's what threw me off. But if I told you that, then it would be too easy. Well... I think it'd be six for six. The hunting scene from Wedding Crashers is one of the worst in Hollywood history. For starters, they are quail hunting in summer, and during this quail march, Christopher Walken is constantly and incorrectly blowing into a crow call. Also, the muzzle control in this scene will make you squeamish. Then, when one of them shoots, everyone starts firing in that direction. Owen Wilson experiences so much recoil that it blows him backwards, while Bradley Cooper's shotgun barrel doesn't even flinch. The hunt comes to an end when Cooper shoots Vaughn in the butt, which gives everyone a good laugh. Here's that scene.

• 33:31Speaker 07

  Why can't we hunt something cool like a hog?

• 33:33Speaker 05

  Oh, that's Vince Vaughn?

• 33:34Speaker 07

  Yeah. That'd be awesome. You mean something like big game, even like a gorilla? Yeah. Or a rhinoceros? I know. A human being? That'll get you jacked up.

• 33:44Speaker 05

  Look at that gun pointed right at him.

• 33:46Speaker 07

  I mean, like, you're hunting a human being right now. Most dangerous game.

• 33:51Speaker 07

  Like a worthy adversary. Not a human being that's armed, but a clever, a clever human being who knows the jungle or the woods.

• 34:02Speaker 04

  Look at that quail hunt.

• 34:09Speaker 04

  There's something not right about these guys. That's Bradley Cooper, Max.

• 34:12Speaker 05

  That doesn't look like Bradley Cooper.

• 34:14Speaker 04

  Fact. Don't do anything crazy.

• 34:17Speaker 05

  How do you have more hair? I mean, if that... It comes and goes.

• 34:20Speaker 04

  To the right!

• 34:26Speaker 05

  Oh. Ooh. Oh, gosh.

• 34:30Speaker 04

  What a moment.

• 34:31Speaker 07

  I got me.

• 34:33Speaker 04

  I don't think they won any awards for that.

• 34:35Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 34:36Speaker 04

  Question eight, the topic is conservation.

• 34:38Speaker 05

  Who would've thought?

• 34:39Speaker 04

  This national park has a section that's referred to as helicopter alley with 300 aircrafts passing through it each day.

• 34:50Speaker 04

  We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. This national park has a section referred to as helicopter alley.

• 34:58Steven Rinella?

  I've already lost.

• 34:59Speaker 04

  With 300 aircrafts passing through it each day.

• 35:01Steven Rinella?

  Let's just leave.

• 35:02Speaker 05

  Helicopter alley.

• 35:03Steven Rinella?

  Go buy a cookie and drown my sorrows.

• 35:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, make it two cookies.

• 35:07Steven Rinella?

  Alright.

• 35:08Speaker 04

  Where are you gonna get your cookie from?

• 35:09Steven Rinella?

  Not Crumble, that place is trash.

• 35:12Speaker 06

  I agree.

• 35:12Speaker 05

  Those cookies are not good for you.

• 35:13Speaker 03

  A little chemically over there.

• 35:15Speaker 05

  Are any cookies good for you?

• 35:17Steven Rinella?

  Grandma's.

• 35:17Speaker 06

  They're so bad. It's like if I wanted cookie dough, I'd just go fucking eat cookie dough.

• 35:21Steven Rinella?

  You tell them.

• 35:22Speaker 03

  What's that, Bob Marley?

• 35:24Speaker 04

  I think a Crumble cookie tastes good. What I don't like is I feel like it ruins the rest of your day.

• 35:28Steven Rinella?

  You said no editing, Phil.

• 35:31Speaker 06

  I think the only good cookie is refined. I have a potty mouth, I'm sorry.

• 35:35Speaker 04

  This national park has a section that's referred to as quote helicopter alley with 300 aircrafts passing through it each day.

• 35:44Speaker 05

  This is a great answer.

• 35:46Steven Rinella?

  You know.

• 35:46Speaker 04

  You think so?

• 35:47Steven Rinella?

  A surprising value from my favorite warehouse store. Costco's got great cookies.

• 35:52Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 35:53Speaker 05

  Yes, it is.

• 35:53Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 35:54Steven Rinella?

  One time I walked out with a piece of pizza and a cookie and the guy's like, oh, he got you with the upsell on the cookie. I said, brother, I come here for the cookies.

• 36:01Speaker 04

  They don't have to twist your arm. Is everybody ready?

• 36:04Speaker 05

  Three, two, one, go.

• 36:04Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Grand Canyon. Corey says Yosemite. Sarah, Golden Gate. John, Grand Canyon. Max and Marge say Grand Canyon.

• 36:17Speaker 05

  Come on.

• 36:17Speaker 04

  The correct answer is Grand Canyon. Four of our players got that one right. It's going to make for an interesting scoreboard update from Phil in just a second. Grand Canyon West is one of the world's busiest heliports. It's estimated that about 350,000 people charter helicopter rides from there every year. Some conservationists say this practice has ruined one of North America's most remote places, putting them at odds with the National Park Service and local tribes.

• 36:48Speaker 06

  As someone who's floated down the Grand Canyon, I would agree.

• 36:51Speaker 04

  You went through helicopter alley?

• 36:53Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 36:53Speaker 04

  Were you there during the rush when it's just like every single minute, there's a helicopter coming through?

• 36:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 36:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:58Speaker 06

  Terrible.

• 36:59Speaker 04

  Made it a lot less fun.

• 37:00Speaker 06

  Floating the river is the way to do it.

• 37:02Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  Uh, Phil, scoreboard update with two questions left. Well, you were right. It has become a little bit more interesting. We have

• 37:10Speaker 05

  Come on, Brody. Come on, Brody.

• 37:12Speaker 04

  Nate and Cory have two and aren't in the running anymore. John has three, Maggie has four, and now tied up in first place are Max and Sarah with five. All right. Maggie, Max, Sarah, and John. I'm rooting for Sarah.

• 37:27Speaker 05

  Just once. That was a long, long time ago, Sarah.

• 37:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, I haven't won.

• 37:32Speaker 04

  Question nine, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Chris Kolderick. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them. So we're looking for a letter from the alphabet. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them.

• 37:59Speaker 04

  Nobody seems to know this. Or John, do you know this one?

• 38:03Speaker 05

  Nothing's coming to mind right now.

• 38:04Speaker 04

  Okay, Sarah has her answer locked in. Now, Sarah, do you like your answer?

• 38:10Speaker 06

  It makes sense.

• 38:11Speaker 04

  Maybe, okay. I think it's good you have some kind, well-adjusted people in the room today, Spencer, because I think if Steve or Brody were here, they'd be like, "A general rule according to who?" Actually, according to Brody Henderson. If you look at the flavor text, Phil, we're going to plug one of his articles that he wrote, uh, six or seven years ago for our website. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them. And saving this question for a day when Brody isn't here, because he has specifically wrote about this subject.

• 38:44Speaker 05

  It's rabbit season.

• 38:46Speaker 04

  Duck season.

• 38:51Speaker 04

  Max has really been committed to the bit. He's been wearing glasses that do not benefit his vision at all for the entire episode. In fact, they hurt your vision, right?

• 39:01Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah.

• 39:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, okay.

• 39:03Speaker 05

  Going from up here to down here is not, you know.

• 39:07Speaker 04

  It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them.

• 39:16Speaker 04

  Corey, do you like your answer?

• 39:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, I love it.

• 39:18Speaker 04

  Okay, Max, do you like your answer?

• 39:19Speaker 05

  I'm feeling pretty good about it.

• 39:21Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 39:21Speaker 07

  Oh, shoot.

• 39:23Speaker 04

  Nate is going in with a change.

• 39:25Speaker 07

  No, just a clarification.

• 39:27Speaker 05

  Oh, who's that?

• 39:30Speaker 07

  I was circling the answer.

• 39:31Speaker 05

  A lot going on on your board, I noticed. I was gonna say.

• 39:34Speaker 07

  October, only month you're allowed to do it.

• 39:37Speaker 05

  Maybe, who knows?

• 39:39Speaker 04

  John has his answer. Marge, we are waiting on you to pick that letter.

• 39:43Speaker 05

  Okay, so it is months, so it's poor.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  We're looking for a letter, though, for your answer. Is everybody ready?

• 39:49Speaker 06

  I guess.

• 39:50Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says R. Corey, R. Sarah, R. John, O. Max, E. Marge, J.

• 40:02Speaker 05

  Shoot.

• 40:03Speaker 04

  The correct answer is R. R. This side of the room got that one right. Two players out of the game, Nate and Corey, as well as Sarah.

• 40:12Speaker 05

  Man, Sarah? There was a bunch of Rs in that.

• 40:16Speaker 04

  This old timer wisdom says you should only eat rabbits in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April. That means you shouldn't eat them in May, June, July, or August. This is because rabbits are more likely to have parasites in them and on them during warmer months. But as Brody Henderson said in his article on the MeatEater.com called "Is It Unsafe to Eat Rabbits Before the First Frost?", as long as the meat is properly cooked, you can eat rabbits year-round. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was the middle of the day is the windiest. Two, Doxend. Three, Mercury Marine. Four, Nebraska. Five, Crop.

• 41:00Speaker 04

  Six, Africa. Seven, Wedding Crashers. Eight, Grand Canyon. Nine is the letter R. All right, Phil, give us one more scoreboard update.

• 41:09Speaker 07

  Well, with that correct answer, Sarah has pulled ahead in front of Max.

• 41:12Speaker 05

  Pulled ahead.

• 41:13Speaker 07

  She has six, Max has five.

• 41:15Speaker 04

  It is Sarah's game to win or lose going into question time.

• 41:19Speaker 05

  Come on, Spencer, give me a dot question.

• 41:20Speaker 04

  Topic is fishing.

• 41:22Speaker 05

  Of course.

• 41:24Speaker 04

  This river, which forms the border of New York and New Jersey, has the second-biggest striped bass spawning run on the East Coast.

• 41:33Speaker 05

  East Coast questions.

• 41:35Speaker 04

  Oh, it's not west of the Mississippi. Sippy, mm, we don't know this.

• 41:41Speaker 04

  That is what people sound like who say that. This river, which forms the border of New York and New Jersey, has the second biggest striped bass spawning run on the east coast. Sarah, do you have this one right?

• 41:56Speaker 05

  Maybe.

• 41:57Speaker 04

  Okay, put a, put a percentage on it. What percentage chance do you have this one?

• 42:00Speaker 05

  Sixty-five?

• 42:01Speaker 04

  Sixty-five. How about you, Max? Well?

• 42:03Speaker 05

  Um, yeah, I don't know. I'm, I'm just taking a wild guess.

• 42:08Speaker 04

  Lower than that.

• 42:09Speaker 05

  How much time have you spent on the east coast, Max? Uh, I, I've actually got a Striper. Really? Yeah.

• 42:15Speaker 04

  Says it like the low world series.

• 42:16Speaker 05

  Is that how they say it? That's it, that's how they say it. Yeah.

• 42:20Speaker 06

  I made a graphic for Joe Serralli's show of this and I can't think of it.

• 42:24Speaker 04

  I bet, I bet you did make a graphic of this exact thing. This river, which forms the border of New York and New Jersey, has the second biggest striped bass spawning run on the east coast.

• 42:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, I bet it does.

• 42:40Speaker 04

  If Sarah gets this one right, she wins the game outright. If she gets it wrong and Max gets it right, we will go to overtime.

• 42:47Speaker 05

  Are you asking the Pennsylvanian? It's not the east coast. That's Rust. Oh.

• 42:53Speaker 04

  I never went to that side of New York.

• 42:54Speaker 05

  I'm trying to think. I mean, yeah, Pennsylvania's not.

• 42:57Speaker 04

  I'm sticking with my gut. Upstate New York is the furthest east I've been. Max has put down the answer. If you count New Jersey. The only river he knows.

• 43:05Speaker 06

  I don't even wanna guess.

• 43:06Speaker 05

  Well, upstate New York is sweet though.

• 43:08Speaker 04

  It's awesome.

• 43:10Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 43:11Speaker 06

  You'd be in good company with.

• 43:12Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Hudson. Cory says Erie. Sarah says Connecticut. John says Hudson. Max says Delaware. Maggie without an answer.

• 43:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm not gonna do it.

• 43:26Speaker 04

  The correct answer?

• 43:28Speaker 05

  Come on.

• 43:29Speaker 04

  Is Hudson River. Oh. Meaning Sarah has won it. Despite getting that one wrong. Max did not get it either.

• 43:36Speaker 06

  Didn't get Hudson.

• 43:37Speaker 04

  Sarah is the winner of the game with how many points? Seven, six.

• 43:40Speaker 06

  Good job, you guys.

• 43:41Speaker 04

  Good job. Six. Shelby index. The Hudson River starts in upstate New York and ends near the Statue of Liberty with the final 21 miles separating New York City and Jersey City. The Hudson has a diverse fishery, but is best known for its stripers. The Chesapeake Bay is the East Coast's largest producer of striped bass, followed by the Hudson River and Delaware River.

• 44:04Speaker 06

  See, oh, I put the Chesapeake Bay down, which I knew was not a river, but then I erased it.

• 44:08Speaker 04

  The Delaware doesn't give us the border of New York.

• 44:12Speaker 06

  I know.

• 44:12Speaker 04

  I know.

• 44:13Speaker 05

  That's right back.

• 44:14Speaker 04

  They do have stripers in Chesapeake Bay.

• 44:16Speaker 06

  I was thinking strippers, not.

• 44:18Speaker 04

  All right, Sarah, $500 donation as the Queen Jabroni. What are you gonna do with that money? Well, don't we have another question? Queen Jabroni? That was question 10. No, that was 10.

• 44:27Speaker 06

  Feels good, man.

• 44:28Speaker 04

  What'd you get, three trash? Do you wanna be the King Jabroni? You can be the King Jabroni instead. I would like to be the King Jabroni. She's the King Jabroni. And the Queen Jabroni. Okay, the King and Queen. I don't know if you can. It's a patriarchy. Too bad. It's all the Arkeys. What do you got for us, Sarah? Where's that $500 going? I have spent a lot of time this year hunting. Brewster! Very bad pheasant habitat and very good pheasant habitat. Hmm. And I prefer the very good pheasant habitat. Okay. So I'd like to donate that money to Pheasants Forever. What'd you think of the upland habitat they were hunting in Wedding Crashers there? Uh, not. Really, at all. Pheasants Forever needed to help them out with that seed. Yeah, Pheasants Forever quail for ever. It's all one. Sarah is sending $500 to Pheasants Forever. That's what I would've done if I would've won.

• 45:13Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah? So you base, it's basically like.

• 45:15Speaker 06

  Nate, I'm impressed with your comeback. I mean, you tied me.

• 45:18Speaker 04

  That's good. I'm so impressed myself. Good job, Nate. Everyone in this room has last day before winter break energy. It's kind of, it's infectious.
