  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, Cal, Brody, Randall, Seth, Hansy, Corey, and Nate. 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. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the performance of Phil's episode of not Meat Eater Trivia. If you'll recall, Phil did cinema trivia two weeks ago, and the audience has spoken. Phil's episode got 32% more views on YouTube than the average episode of trivia. Yeah, give him some claps. There we go.

• 3:27Speaker 04

  Way to go, Phil.

• 3:28Speaker 03

  By those numbers, I think we can officially declare Phil the best guest host and put me on the hot seat.

• 3:36Speaker 04

  Did Phil also do his own jingles for his own episode?

• 3:40Speaker 03

  I don't think he had any jingles. Well, he had a different intro, right? I had a custom intro, yeah, Game of Thrones themed intro.

• 3:45Speaker 04

  It was a whole experience.

• 3:47Speaker 05

  I think it's interesting that you, Spencer Neuharth, the host, are just immediately assuming that it's just the host on the episode. Obviously, people just tune in for the host. So it's all Phil.

• 4:00Speaker 03

  We're popping up Phil.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  There's other people in the room, bud. Well, I, there's, I think there's some caveats that come with that. One is that I had a handful of visual questions. So I think- Some of those viewers probably came over from the podcast possibly, but also

• 4:13Speaker 05

  neither of us hold a candle to Shelby. So I think she's the one you gotta look out for.

• 4:17Speaker 03

  That is the, yeah, that one's like doubled our regular pages.

• 4:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, calls coming from inside the house there.

• 4:23Speaker 03

  But Phil needs to do more trivia. The audience has told us. Maybe next time, Phil, we can do some, you know, media-related trivia. And it has just like one thread connected to the Meat Eater universe.

• 4:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, no, I'd love to do it again, so.

• 4:38Speaker 04

  You're telling Phil how to do his job now, Spencer?

• 4:40Speaker 03

  I'm telling him how to do my job. Yeah, yep.

• 4:44Speaker 04

  Do we see a few, you know how MTV used to be music, television, videos, and then it transformed into what it is now? I mean, Meat Eater in 10 years, five years?

• 4:58Speaker 03

  We could just have our own Jersey Shore.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  It could be Media Eater.

• 5:01Speaker 03

  Well, Phil, what did you name it? You said it was when you took over the company. What was it?

• 5:05Speaker 05

  It was gonna be called Game Beater, which, you know.

• 5:09Speaker 05

  I think I could use a couple more passes.

• 5:12Speaker 03

  Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Tate Green says, "If we keep sending the same question, doesn't have better odds of getting picked." And he sent me that question three times on December 12, 13, and 16. Well, Tate, it got me to read your IFAQ, so in this case it helped. Normally I'm a few months behind in the inbox, so if you send me a question in January and you don't hear it by like May, send it again. If you think it's a really good question and I made a mistake and it should be in the show, just wait a few months and then, and then send me that question again. Your best way to get picked, though, just send me a phenomenal question. That's your, that's your best odds of getting the show.

• 5:57Speaker 03

  And if it's a phenomenal question and you're convinced that it should be on Meat Eater trivia, then wait, you know. A quarter and then send it to me again and uh and we'll see what happens.

• 6:07Speaker 06

  Having spent some time in the inbox, I think another piece of advice is uh include the answer to your question.

• 6:14Speaker 03

  That's that's.

• 6:14Speaker 06

  Whenever I'm reviewing those.

• 6:16Speaker 04

  Wait a minute. What are you doing in the inbox?

• 6:18Speaker 06

  Guest hosting.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  When you when you guest host, you get you get access to the inbox for like a month.

• 6:23Speaker 06

  But there's.

• 6:24Speaker 04

  I smell a rat.

• 6:25Speaker 06

  There's a handful of, I mean, it's not uncommon to see someone sends in a question and like the subject line is the question and then there's no answer.

• 6:33Speaker 03

  Mm hmm.

• 6:33Speaker 06

  And it's unclear whether they want you to include that in the game or provide them with something that's been bugging them that they don't know.

• 6:41Speaker 03

  Some people will ask too if it helps to send flavor text and I would say 30% of our people who write in will send their flavor text.

• 6:49Speaker 04

  I would appreciate the flavor text.

• 6:51Speaker 03

  It it helps in that it may inspire a different question. So the question you sent uh may not like work for me, Deter Trivia, but your flavor text, a paragraph of text uh can have something in there that I can mine to use on the show. So uh flavor text does help you, but it's not necessary.

• 7:09Speaker 04

  Spencer, I almost went casual camo this morning.

• 7:11Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 7:12Speaker 04

  And so it's coincidence that you.

• 7:13Speaker 03

  It's getting cold outside, man.

• 7:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, but what does that have to do with wearing camo?

• 7:18Speaker 03

  Well, a lot of my warmest gear, like any good Midwesterner, uh happens to be in camo print.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  Got it.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  Yeah. Now, in a previous episode of trivia, we had a question about the auto hook setting ice fishing device with an alliterative name that's been banned in Minnesota. The correct answer was Jawjacker, but Bryce Jiglinsky wrote in to say that there's another piece of gear that would work for the correct answer.

• 7:44Speaker 04

  The jig. Linsky. As ice fishing.

• 7:47Speaker 06

  Midwesterner for sure.

• 7:48Speaker 03

  Oh, here's it's even more Midwestern than that. Uh Bryce said that he is the fishing teacher at a school in Wisconsin.

• 7:55Speaker 04

  Oh, awesome. The what? Man, that dude, he needs to let me know when he's gonna retire.

• 8:01Speaker 03

  You want you want that job? Let me tell you what Bryce had to say. The finicky foole will also hook for you, has an alliterative name and is banned in Minnesota. So the Bryce is right. And if you said finicky foole like him, then you also got that one correct. So it could be Jawjacker or finicky foole.

• 8:22Speaker 06

  I saw Jawjacker at Murdochs the other day.

• 8:25Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 8:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, it reminded me of my defeat in that episode.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  What what was your answer?

• 8:30Speaker 04

  Seth is the only guy.

• 8:31Speaker 06

  I know who owns one.

• 8:32Speaker 04

  I got one.

• 8:33Speaker 06

  I got a couple.

• 8:34Speaker 03

  You boys ever use them?

• 8:35Speaker 06

  All the time.

• 8:36Speaker 03

  And?

• 8:36Speaker 06

  Love them.

• 8:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, when you can drill a shitload of holes in a state like Wyoming, there's no reason not to have one.

• 8:43Speaker 03

  You'd you'd reach for that instead of just a standard tip up, though, every time?

• 8:47Speaker 04

  Depends what you're doing.

• 8:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 8:49Speaker 04

  Like tip up, like, you know, like Canyon Berry, where you're fishing in forty feet of water. Tip ups are kind of a pain, but I use them both.

• 8:57Speaker 03

  All right, now the Shelby index for today is a five, so I'm putting putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 9:10Speaker 07

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

• 9:15Speaker 07

  How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 9:24Speaker 03

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these states does not have a fourteener?

• 9:34Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 9:35Speaker 03

  Is it Washington, Colorado, California, or Idaho?

• 9:41Speaker 04

  Why do I always get the markers that are out of juice?

• 9:46Speaker 03

  All right, throw that one by the door, and that one is going to leave this room. It's gonna go right in the garbage. Oh, no, no, not that one.

• 9:52Speaker 04

  No, that one was dead.

• 9:53Speaker 03

  Oh, okay, and Randall's gonna find some new markers.

• 9:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm all tangled up in the wires.

• 9:56Speaker 04

  I like that blue one you got in your hand there, Randall.

• 9:59Speaker 03

  Again, question one, the topic is woodsmanship. Which of these states does not have a fourteener? Three of them have a fourteener, one of them does not. Is it Washington, Colorado, California, or Idaho?

• 10:14Speaker 04

  Rocky Mountain High.

• 10:17Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 10:17Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 10:19Speaker 03

  Randall, the quickest to answer, do you know this one?

• 10:22Speaker 04

  I feel like you'd be mad if someone else said that, Rody.

• 10:23Speaker 06

  I could tell you the the high points in each of these states and their approximate elevations.

• 10:27Speaker 03

  Why do you know that?

• 10:29Speaker 06

  Cause I love mountains.

• 10:31Speaker 03

  Just to be good at trivia. Again, Washington, Colorado, California, or Idaho, which of those states?

• 10:38Speaker 04

  I can give you three, Randall.

• 10:39Speaker 03

  Does not have a fourteener.

• 10:44Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 10:45Speaker 06

  It's like Colorado, I'm not sure.

• 10:48Speaker 03

  Oh, what happened? I take back my boat.

• 10:50Speaker 06

  I take back my boat.

• 10:51Speaker 04

  You mean you're not sure what the high point is?

• 10:54Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:55Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying Idaho. Yanis says Washington. Seth, Idaho. Randall, Idaho. Corey, Idaho. Hansy, Washington. Nate, California. Brody, Idaho. The correct answer is Idaho. About half of the room got that one right. Fourteeners are mountains with an elevation over 14,000 feet. There are 96 in America, which are all found in Alaska, Colorado, Washington, and California. The tallest mountain in Idaho is?

• 11:35Speaker 06

  Mount Bora.

• 11:35Speaker 03

  Bora Peak, which has an elevation of?

• 11:38Speaker 06

  13 something. Yeah.

• 11:40Speaker 03

  12,662. So Idaho does not have a fourtener.

• 11:45Speaker 06

  I was a little nervous about the Tetons. How close are the Tetons?

• 11:48Speaker 03

  I, so I looked up the tallest peak in Wyoming is only about 20 feet shy of being a fourtener.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  But that's not the Tetons, is it? I don't remember.

• 11:57Speaker 06

  It's in the Wind River.

• 11:58Speaker 03

  I don't remember what it was, but I didn't feel good about making Idaho a choice when it was only 20 feet away from being a fourtener, so I went with Idaho.

• 12:06Speaker 06

  And Montana's not a fourtener state either, right?

• 12:09Speaker 03

  There's only four of them.

• 12:10Speaker 06

  We're 13 something? Granite. 12 something. Granite, Idaho, I think. Is it? Yeah.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  Question two, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Justin Mathiason. Also known as a controlled burn, the US Forest Service defines this as, quote, "A planned fire used to meet management objectives."

• 12:34Speaker 03

  Also known as a controlled burn, the US Forest Service defines this as, quote, "A planned fire used to meet management objectives."

• 12:48Speaker 03

  Does our in-house forester have it? Seth?

• 12:52Speaker 05

  If I'm reading the question right, I think.

• 12:55Speaker 03

  Also known as a controlled burn. The US Forest Service defines this as a planned fire used to meet management objectives. But half of the room has come up with their answer. Brody, you have this one right?

• 13:10Speaker 04

  Oof, I don't know. I, I mean, I know I've heard this term used before, but I don't know if it's what you're looking for.

• 13:17Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 13:20Speaker 03

  This is question two. Did you come up with this question? This was via Justin Matheson.

• 13:29Speaker 04

  You know, you got a good one. It gets real quiet in the room with Spencer.

• 13:38Speaker 03

  We still have some blank whiteboards.

• 13:40Speaker 04

  I think Forest Service expert Seth over there got it right away.

• 13:47Speaker 05

  Why my Forest Service expert?

• 13:49Speaker 04

  What you worked for?

• 13:50Speaker 03

  Ever employed by them?

• 13:51Speaker 05

  Not Forest Service, no.

• 13:52Speaker 06

  Have you done one of these?

• 13:53Speaker 04

  Well, you were on a fire crew, correct?

• 13:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:56Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 13:57Speaker 05

  In the private sector.

• 13:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:00Speaker 04

  You guys were like contractors? For, for the Forest Service?

• 14:04Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:05Speaker 03

  Again, also known as a controlled burn. I hear what you got, Seth. The US Forest Service defines this as a planned fire used to meet management objectives. This is question two. The topic is conservation. This is a tough start for our players looking for a perfect game. Yeah, I don't, I don't.

• 14:22Speaker 04

  What was, I, what was the Shelby index?

• 14:24Speaker 03

  Five.

• 14:25Speaker 04

  Oh, hmm.

• 14:26Speaker 03

  I think someone in here has a 10 in them today.

• 14:31Speaker 03

  Not Yanni. Not Yanis. Went with the backwards hat today on a Tuesday.

• 14:38Speaker 05

  Of all days.

• 14:39Speaker 03

  Of all days, a Tuesday. Please don't be, is that, is that not okay? You've asked me before. You, you're always like, oh, backwards hat today, oh, Spencer. And then I feel like my answer is like, yeah, it's like Thursday energy. And it's a camo hat. Uh huh, yeah, casual camo backwards on a Tuesday. On a Tuesday. In January. January's gotta have like the worst Tuesdays that there are. I'd say.

• 15:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, he does kinda look like he's getting ready to drink a beer on the beach.

• 15:09Speaker 03

  Yep, yep. Now Yanni sees it. Excuse me, Brody sees it.

• 15:14Speaker 05

  There's a lot of like, what's good fellow kids energy.

• 15:19Speaker 03

  Steve Buscemi from, uh, was it 30 Rock?

• 15:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:26Speaker 03

  Does everyone have an answer for question two?

• 15:29Speaker 04

  I like that show.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Which, which character? Steve Buscemi plays, was it a private investigator?

• 15:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, and he, he, he goes undercover at a high school, but it's, he looks like Steve Buscemi, but he's got a skateboard and a hoodie and like a backwards hat on or something.

• 15:45Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead. And reveal your answers. Uh, what's it say, Cal? Blackburn, backburn.

• 15:54Speaker 04

  Randall gets points for creativity.

• 15:56Speaker 03

  Yanis says prescribed burn. Seth prescribed burn. Randall deliberate.

• 16:02Speaker 06

  Conflagration.

• 16:04Speaker 03

  Corey prescribed, prescribed burn.

• 16:07Speaker 06

  Yeah, you know what I meant.

• 16:08Speaker 03

  Hansy slash burn. Nate, fire blaze dragon Charizard. Brody, prescribed burn. The correct answer is prescribed fire or prescribed burn.

• 16:19Speaker 06

  I was going for something without burn in it.

• 16:22Speaker 03

  Oh, I know, these things where it like uses so many common terms always jack me up. If too many years, if too many years pass without a fire, an agency may use a prescribed fire to help the health of an ecosystem. Some of the benefits of controlled burns include minimizing the spread of pests, providing forage for animals, recycling nutrients back into the soil and promoting the growth of new plants. The Forest Service also says one of the best ways to minimize wildfires is by using prescribed fires.

• 16:53Speaker 05

  I do want to say that a backburn is technically correct because if your management objective is to slow down a fire or stop a fire, a backburn is.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  You can do that with a prescribed burn.

• 17:04Speaker 05

  That's right.

• 17:05Speaker 03

  Question three, the topic is fishing. We're not going to give it to you.

• 17:09Speaker 05

  Well, let's go through the Forest Service manual.

• 17:12Speaker 06

  When I was at Fort Stewart, I was on this list of, they would send out what training errors were getting burned. And I'd get like five emails a day, like prescribed burn, prescribed burn, prescribed burn.

• 17:25Speaker 05

  More people should be doing that, is all I'm gonna say.

• 17:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 17:28Speaker 03

  Question three, the topic is fishing. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this as quote, brown algae that grows as large coastal seaweeds in colder seas.

• 17:45Speaker 03

  Question three, another stumper for our crew. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this as brown algae that grows in large coastal, that grows as large coastal seaweeds in colder seas. Brody with an answer, how do you feel about your answer?

• 18:02Speaker 04

  Excellent.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  How about you Seth?

• 18:06Speaker 04

  I like your little archer man Nate.

• 18:08Speaker 05

  I'm just thinking of brown shit that grows up in Alaska.

• 18:11Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:12Speaker 05

  I don't deserve it.

• 18:12Speaker 03

  Oh boy.

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Brody did not like that hint. Brown algae that grows as large coastal seaweeds in colder seas.

• 18:30Speaker 03

  Seth now has the other players thinking.

• 18:32Speaker 05

  What I'm thinking of, I don't know, it's considered algae.

• 18:35Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:36Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  Again, question three. The topic is fishing. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this as brown algae that grows as large coastal seaweeds in colder seas.

• 18:51Speaker 03

  Brody, do you think Seth said too much?

• 18:54Speaker 04

  I do. Way too much.

• 18:56Speaker 03

  Way too much.

• 19:00Speaker 03

  Did it help?

• 19:00Speaker 05

  I didn't, I didn't think it was a hint that saying that Alaska was cold.

• 19:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, keep going.

• 19:06Speaker 04

  Seth, what did you think of my answer?

• 19:09Speaker 05

  I dig that answer.

• 19:10Speaker 03

  Okay, you two, Randall and Seth agree on what it might be.

• 19:16Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 19:19Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal says bull kelp, Yannis, bull kelp, Seth, kelp, Randall, kelp, Corey, kelp, Hansy, kelp, Forrest, Nate, kelp, Brody, kelp. Everybody got it? The correct answer is kelp or kelp forest.

• 19:35Speaker 04

  Better than my original answer of snot.

• 19:37Speaker 03

  Contrary to popular belief, kelp is a type of algae, not a type of plant. That means they have holdfasts instead of roots, blades instead of leaves, and a stipe instead of a stem. Kelp provides critical habitat for many fish and marine mammals.

• 19:55Speaker 04

  You know what else it's good for?

• 19:56Speaker 03

  What's that?

• 19:57Speaker 04

  Kids turning it into whips and beating each other with it.

• 20:00Speaker 05

  I was just, I was just gonna say, the kids in Alaska get more entertainment out of kelp than anything else.

• 20:06Speaker 04

  Every day they come back with it. Beat each other, make like rock, water rockets out of it. Beat it.

• 20:13Speaker 03

  Question for the topic is natural history and this next great question is via Aaron Welsh. This female name is also what you call fossilized tree resin.

• 20:28Speaker 03

  A lot of our players quick to answer. They're getting their confidence back.

• 20:32Speaker 04

  You got any of this in your fossil collection Spencer?

• 20:34Speaker 03

  Um, I do. I did not find it though. It was given to me.

• 20:40Speaker 06

  Female name. Dr. Henry Wu knows something about this.

• 20:43Speaker 05

  I know, I'm so glad Steve's not here so we don't have to go down the what's a female name Spencer?

• 20:48Speaker 03

  I'd like to hear him argue about this. This female name is also what you call fossilized tree resin.

• 20:57Speaker 04

  What's the category?

• 20:58Speaker 03

  Natural history.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 21:05Speaker 03

  What's so funny over there Phil?

• 21:06Speaker 05

  Yeah Cory, Cory just has, he's got some questions I guess.

• 21:11Speaker 03

  Are you ready Cory?

• 21:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 21:13Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Uh, we have Cal and Yanni saying amber. Seth without an answer. Randall says amber. Cory says pitch. Hanzi, Nate and Brody say amber. They got it. The correct answer is amber. Amber is often translucent with a hint of brown, yellow or orange. Famously it was the catalyst for creating Jurassic Park. Here is a one minute video of the movie where the park's mascot, Mr. DNA, describes amber's role in dinosaur cloning. Play the clip Phil.

• 21:51Speaker 05

  Once again, apologies to the YouTube audience.

• 21:54Speaker 07

  A DNA strand like me is a blueprint for building a living thing. And sometimes animals that went extinct millions of years ago, like dinosaurs, left their blueprints behind for us to find. We just had to know where to look. A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes, just like today. And just like today, they fed on the blood of animals, even dinosaurs. Sometimes after biting a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on a branch of a tree and get stuck in the sap. After a long time, the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito inside.

• 22:39Speaker 07

  This fossilized tree sap, which we call amber, waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside, until Jurassic Park scientists came along. Using sophisticated techniques, they extract the preserved blood from the mosquito and bingo, dino DNA.

• 23:00Speaker 05

  Is this a young Brett Reeves doing the voice?

• 23:03Speaker 06

  There were like four different regional accents in that, in that voice.

• 23:07Speaker 03

  Real scientists have tried replicating Dr. John Hammond's work from Jurassic Park, but are still unsuccessful. So I do have a piece of amber and it does have a bug in it.

• 23:18Speaker 05

  No way.

• 23:19Speaker 03

  I do. But I, I did not find it. No, it was given to me a fa- from a fossil collector in Utah.

• 23:24Speaker 05

  Hmm. No, no Latvia in the flavor text. I'm surprised.

• 23:29Speaker 03

  What's Latvia?

• 23:30Speaker 05

  Well, one of the world's top amber producers.

• 23:32Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. As we all know. I was waiting for you to pitch in with that. Question five, the topic is hunting.

• 23:40Speaker 05

  No, no point intended.

• 23:43Speaker 03

  This Kentucky bourbon fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunt in 1940. This Kentucky bourbon fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunt in 1940. This is question five. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Who are our bourbon or whiskey drinkers in the room?

• 24:12Speaker 04

  Not me.

• 24:14Speaker 03

  Cory and Hansi.

• 24:15Speaker 05

  I drink it, but there's nothing fancy about it.

• 24:18Speaker 03

  Yeah. Hansi, you got this one right? I don't think so, but I'm gonna take a guess. Okay. Cory, do you have this one right?

• 24:27Speaker 04

  Man, I sure hope so.

• 24:28Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:29Speaker 06

  There's another bird, uh, game bird themed whiskey that I'm thinking of, but I'm not sure if it's a bourbon.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  This Kentucky bourbon fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunt in 1940.

• 24:45Speaker 04

  Ah, ooh, ooh.

• 24:47Speaker 03

  Okay, Hansi, one of our whiskey experts, going back to his whiteboard.

• 24:53Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 24:54Speaker 03

  Hansi, also a sommelier. I wish.

• 25:00Steven Rinella?

  Taking donations to do that homework.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, you gotta take classes for that, right?

• 25:05Speaker 05

  Oh, it's a big deal.

• 25:07Speaker 03

  Hansy, or excuse me, Corey, if you have this one right, have you had this bourbon? Yeah, lots of it. What do you think of it?

• 25:15Speaker 03

  You know, I have a hard time. When you reach for? Taste and the difference between it all, honestly, it all tastes good out of your ski jacket. Hansy, if you have this one right, do you have a review of this bourbon?

• 25:26Steven Rinella?

  Like a number, like a...

• 25:28Speaker 03

  Sure, yeah, I love on a scale of one to 10, sure.

• 25:30Steven Rinella?

  Yeah.

• 25:31Speaker 05

  Negative five to five.

• 25:32Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, I can, I can do that. You can do that.

• 25:34Speaker 03

  You gonna tell us, or?

• 25:35Steven Rinella?

  I, I had to switch it up because I think I put a Scotch on there first.

• 25:38Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 25:39Steven Rinella?

  So, I was getting like...

• 25:40Speaker 03

  Scotch is Scotch. Damn. This Kentucky bourbon fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunting in 1940.

• 25:50Speaker 05

  I don't, I don't know what it is. Did you grow up skiing drunk?

• 25:56Speaker 03

  Technically, no.

• 25:57Speaker 05

  I always just like heard of people doing it, but first, I just, we just never did it for some reason.

• 26:02Speaker 03

  What's that? Drinking and skiing?

• 26:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:04Speaker 03

  Oh, you gotta have a little nerp on the chairlift sometimes.

• 26:08Speaker 04

  Were you doing something else up there?

• 26:11Speaker 03

  Yanni, Yanni had those lefties with him.

• 26:16Speaker 04

  You used to do that dangerous backcountry stuff, so you couldn't afford to.

• 26:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:21Speaker 06

  Growing up skiing drunk, to me, just, I envisioned toddlers immediately. Very interesting visual.

• 26:29Speaker 05

  They look like they're drunk.

• 26:30Speaker 04

  You grew up in a state, though, where people skiing jeans.

• 26:33Speaker 06

  Doing the pizza down the hill. Straight down. He's sitting at the chairlift and it's like watching bowling from the perspective of the pins.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  300 feet of vertical, straight to the bottom.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  Car hurt 60 miles an hour into the lift line.

• 26:47Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 26:48Speaker 06

  Hey, y'all, watch out!

• 26:50Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying, "Bird dog." Yannis says, "Wild turkey." He crossed out "bird dog." Seth, "Wild turkey." Randall, "Wild turkey." Corey, "Wild turkey." Hansy, "Wild turkey." Nate, "Buffalo trace." Brody, "Wild turkey." The correct answer is, "Wild turkey." The room did very well.

• 27:14Speaker 05

  How often, when you go turkey hunting, Spencer, like just, what are you gonna do this weekend? Do you say, "I'm going bird hunting. I'm going on my annual bird hunt."

• 27:25Speaker 03

  I think six of our eight players got that right. I feel good about the wording. Yeah, that's why I wrote both. If I would have given you any more details-

• 27:32Speaker 05

  Hey, you know what? Don't answer the question.

• 27:34Speaker 06

  Hansy, where were you going?

• 27:35Speaker 03

  I would not say, "I'm going bird hunting," but it wouldn't be wrong.

• 27:38Speaker 05

  My first thought was Famous Grouse.

• 27:40Steven Rinella?

  I'm going to start now, Cal.

• 27:41Speaker 07

  Because of the annual bird hunt.

• 27:43Speaker 06

  I was picturing the bottle.

• 27:45Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 27:45Speaker 06

  But I couldn't come up with the name.

• 27:47Speaker 03

  That distillery executive said his buddies in camp loved the bourbon he brought with him, so they named it after the bird they were hunting. Other liquors with birdy names include Redbreast, Famous Grouse, Gray Goose, Kentucky Owl, Old Crow, and Eagle Rare.

• 28:03Speaker 06

  Old Crow will make you fight a man.

• 28:04Speaker 04

  To be fair, Cal, I was just thinking, and oftentimes when you're turkey hunting, you'll be like, "Found some birds," or "Didn't find any birds," or "Heard some birds."

• 28:12Speaker 05

  So, same question to you. It's spring. You're out doing stuff. I say, "Brody, what are you doing this weekend?"

• 28:19Speaker 04

  I'm just saying.

• 28:20Speaker 05

  You say, "We're going on our annual bird hunt."

• 28:22Speaker 06

  I'm gonna start saying it. If he'd said, "When he went on his annual turkey hunt in 1940," would you have gotten it?

• 28:30Speaker 03

  That'd be too easy.

• 28:31Speaker 04

  I think I would have been warmer.

• 28:32Speaker 03

  Hansy, what's your review of Wild Turkey Bourbon?

• 28:35Speaker 07

  I think it's a totally serviceable bourbon. Put it at a 3.5, 3.75 out of a 5.

• 28:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 28:41Speaker 07

  If we're talking like, uh, Colonel E. H. Taylor is like a 4.5, and Pappy Van Winkle being a 5. I'd put Wild Turkey in that 3 territory solidly. Serviceable, excellent. I'm gonna put Old Crow down at like 2, and like-

• 28:59Speaker 06

  Sitting there with Northern Lights?

• 29:00Speaker 07

  Yeah, Old Crow comes in a glass bottle. It's a glass bottle. If we put a plastic bottle, we're going 1. That's like vodka with caramel coloring.

• 29:10Speaker 03

  I'm gonna write more bourbon questions, just so we can get your commentary on that.

• 29:13Speaker 05

  Sure, sure.

• 29:14Speaker 03

  Have you had Pappy before?

• 29:16Speaker 07

  I have never had Pappy, so I shouldn't, but you know, it's one of those like, it's the- Eh, the price, come on. Like, but, you know, again, taking donations here. You want me to find out what a 5 is like?

• 29:28Speaker 03

  Please, my desk is open. Phil, we're halfway through the game. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 29:35Steven Rinella?

  There we are. Yeah, it's a pretty, it's a pretty close game, all things considered. We've got Nathan last place with two. Coming up next are Cal and Hansi with three points apiece. Then I'll tie it up our Corey, Yannis, Seth and Randall with four. And in first place, it's a perfect game for Brody Henderson.

• 29:51Speaker 03

  Wow. Again, this was supposed to be a tournament episode today, but Steve couldn't make it, so we had to punt on that, but the room is filled.

• 29:57Speaker 04

  This would be a stressful tournament.

• 29:59Speaker 03

  With some heavy hitters.

• 30:00Steven Rinella?

  Are we still doing a tournament?

• 30:02Speaker 03

  We're gonna do it at a certain point. If we can't make it happen with Steve's schedule, we're just gonna play it without him. And I'll figure out an alternative to still get Steve involved because he is the defending champion.

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.

• 30:59Steven Rinella?

  They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you got WeatherTech, you're gonna 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.

• 32:33Steven Rinella?

  Question six. The topic is biology. This next great question is via Joe Mason. Platypus and blank are the only mammals that lay eggs. Platypus and blank are the only mammals that lay eggs. The room is stressed again, except for maybe Randall. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 33:00Speaker 06

  I believe so.

• 33:02Steven Rinella?

  Randall is confident. Brody, who has the perfect game going, is tapping the whiteboard against the bill of his hat.

• 33:10Speaker 06

  We need one.

• 33:14Steven Rinella?

  Can you picture it, Brody? You know the animal. You just can't find its name. Platypus and blank are the only mammals that lay eggs. This is question six. The topic is biology.

• 33:33Speaker 03

  Seth now going to his whiteboard.

• 33:37Speaker 06

  It's a tough, tough little game here. I wouldn't have guessed that it was a, uh, five on the old index.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  Did well.

• 33:48Speaker 03

  Seth, how do you feel about your answer?

• 33:49Speaker 05

  Uh, I honestly have no clue. I just wrote something down.

• 33:53Speaker 03

  Platypus and blank.

• 33:55Speaker 06

  Give us a hint Spencer.

• 33:56Speaker 03

  Are the only, here's your hint. They're the only mammals that lay eggs.

• 33:59Speaker 06

  Phil, do I know this?

• 34:02Speaker 05

  Uh, Spencer, can I give a, give a Phil hint that will help anybody?

• 34:06Speaker 03

  No, let's not do that.

• 34:09Speaker 03

  If you're certain Phil, it will not help any of the eight players in the room, then I'd say go for it.

• 34:13Speaker 06

  I feel good about that though.

• 34:16Speaker 05

  Uh.

• 34:17Speaker 06

  No, no, don't do it. No, do it.

• 34:18Speaker 03

  Cause I think, I think.

• 34:20Speaker 06

  Phil, I know what you're gonna say.

• 34:21Speaker 05

  I don't think you do.

• 34:22Speaker 03

  If it were to help somebody.

• 34:23Speaker 06

  I think I do.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  It would be Randall and Randall already have, has his answer.

• 34:27Speaker 05

  Well, honestly, it's a hint that might actually throw people off because they might think what, they might know that.

• 34:32Speaker 06

  Yeah, but they don't. Do it. But they don't. Do it.

• 34:35Speaker 03

  Uh, we're gonna, we're gonna say hold off on the hint.

• 34:37Speaker 05

  Okay. Ah, it's a type of Pokemon, isn't it? You're not far off.

• 34:41Speaker 06

  We already got, we already got a Charizard.

• 34:43Speaker 05

  Yeah. Oh yeah.

• 34:45Speaker 03

  Platypus and blank are the only mammals that lay eggs.

• 34:50Speaker 06

  Which is just disgusting when you really think about it.

• 34:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, we need something go extinct. These perverts.

• 35:00Speaker 06

  Make up your mind. Geez.

• 35:02Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready? Brody?

• 35:05Speaker 06

  Oh, just write something down.

• 35:07Speaker 03

  Okay, he's gonna throw some letters on the board. Cory, Hansy, you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal and Yanni without an answer.

• 35:17Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  Seth says pangolin. Randall says echidna. Cory, wallaby. Hansy, anteaters. Nate, pangolin. Brody, wombat.

• 35:29Speaker 05

  That's, that's.

• 37:34Speaker 03

  What American lake has a monster named Champ? Whose sightings are likely just long-nosed gar and a lake sturgeon? Oh. Brody and Randall both like their answers. Hansy, do you have this one right? No. Oh, okay. Again, this is question seven. The perfect game is now over. But I think it tightened up the race at first. Fishing question. Well, says it likely just a long-nosed gar and lake sturgeon. What American lake has a monster named Champ? Whose sightings are likely just a long-nosed gar and lake sturgeon?

• 38:15Speaker 03

  We had a question a few weeks ago about Mothman. If you can't tell right now, I'm reading a cryptids book. Which has inspired a few trivia questions.

• 38:26Speaker 03

  What is the, what's the definition of cryptids? Like what? It's, it's any animal that's not recognized by science, or something like that. Copy. So there are animals who were once considered cryptids that then just became accepted like, uh, there's a fish that we thought was extinct for 65 million years.

• 38:45Speaker 04

  The coelacanth?

• 38:46Speaker 03

  Yes, and then they found one, um, and then it just, you know, became an animal. So I think that-

• 38:53Speaker 04

  But wasn't that thing always in the fossil record and they just, it wasn't a cryptid, it was just extinct?

• 38:59Speaker 03

  Sure, but I think by like the-

• 39:00Speaker 04

  A cryptid's like Bigfoot.

• 39:03Speaker 03

  Yes. Mothman. Champ.

• 39:06Speaker 04

  I don't think coelacanth qualifies.

• 39:09Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 39:10Speaker 06

  The abominable snowman.

• 39:11Speaker 05

  Unless there's a story of coelacanth coming in and like stealing children or something.

• 39:14Speaker 06

  The chupacabra.

• 39:16Speaker 03

  Uh huh. Chupacabra was a recent cryptid. Most of the cryptids that we hear about go back to like, I don't know, Native American lore, but the chupacabra was like 1999.

• 39:27Speaker 04

  Interesting. Uh huh. It's not based on some-

• 39:30Speaker 03

  No, at first, and it like sort of the, the thought of what a chupacabra is, has changed. It started in Puerto Rico, where it's described as sort of an alien-like figure, and then by the time it made it to the States, in Texas, it's become like this hairless blue dog.

• 39:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just-

• 39:45Speaker 03

  Didn't come around till the 90s.

• 39:47Speaker 04

  I associate it with the Taco Bell dog.

• 39:49Speaker 06

  Also because it sounds like a dish you'd order at Taco Bell.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  Does everyone have an answer for the American lake that has a monster named Champ? Whose sightings are likely just a long-nosed garden lake sturgeon? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Cal says Champlain. Yannis says Placid. Seth, Placid. Randall, Lake Champlain. Corey and Hansy say Lake Champlain. Nate says Okeechobee. Brody, Lake Champlain. He got it. The correct answer is.

• 40:19Speaker 05

  Great phonetic spelling of Okeechobee.

• 40:23Speaker 06

  I'll let you do the thing where you have all your answers to try to get one of them right.

• 40:26Speaker 04

  No, no, same answer.

• 40:28Speaker 03

  Champ has been deemed America's Loch Ness. There have been hundreds of sightings of Champ going all the way back to the Iroquois tribe. The lake monster has been described as being 15 to 50 feet long with a snake-like body and horse-like head.

• 40:43Speaker 05

  Have you ever seen that? Seth, the answer was in the question.

• 40:47Speaker 04

  Well, I almost went with Champlain, but the, the, the movie Lake Placid was throwing me off.

• 40:53Speaker 06

  But it wasn't on Lake Placid.

• 40:57Speaker 05

  That's a deep cut.

• 40:58Speaker 04

  It is.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  That was so frustrating. So stupid. Terrible, terrible question.

• 41:03Speaker 03

  Question eight. The topic is cooking and this next great question is via David Servini. Merriam-Webster defines this nine-letter dish as quote thinly sliced raw meat or fish served with a sauce.

• 41:21Speaker 03

  This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. Merriam-Webster defines this nine-letter dish as thinly sliced raw meat or fish served with a sauce.

• 41:38Speaker 03

  Brody, you got this one right?

• 41:40Speaker 04

  I got nine letters.

• 41:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 41:43Speaker 03

  Yanni joining them. Yanni, you got this one?

• 41:47Speaker 05

  I believe so.

• 41:53Speaker 03

  You Pennsylvania boys ever been to Lake Champlain?

• 41:56Speaker 04

  No, that's a long ways.

• 41:58Speaker 03

  Long ways, it'd be like driving to northeast Montana, right?

• 42:01Speaker 04

  No.

• 42:02Speaker 03

  No?

• 42:03Speaker 04

  It's a haul.

• 42:04Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's a haul.

• 42:05Speaker 05

  That northern spot is sneaky big. Well, to be fair, northeast Montana is a haul from here.

• 42:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's like seven hours.

• 42:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, but I mean...

• 42:13Speaker 06

  But we go there recreationally.

• 42:14Speaker 04

  I don't know, like, I don't know what it would... What do you think it would take, Seth? To get up to northern Vermont, like?

• 42:22Speaker 03

  Or southern, southern New York, because it goes across, uh, both states.

• 42:27Speaker 05

  Probably...

• 42:29Speaker 05

  Well, takes about nine hours to get to Maine.

• 42:33Speaker 06

  We can answer this.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  Is like, is Lancaster an okay representative from like?

• 42:39Speaker 04

  That's way south, that'd be even longer.

• 42:41Speaker 03

  From there to Lake Champlain, six hours, fifty minutes. And that's if you're like going from southern PA.

• 42:47Speaker 05

  What about from State College?

• 42:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, or Erie.

• 42:50Speaker 03

  State College. Again, we are on question A.

• 42:54Speaker 04

  This is why the internet ruined our talk, you know, it really does, really does.

• 42:59Speaker 06

  Pittsburgh?

• 43:00Speaker 03

  Uh, State College would be seven hours, thirteen minutes. And again, that's just going to like the western side.

• 43:06Speaker 06

  Erie, Pennsylvania's gotta be like four forty-five.

• 43:08Speaker 03

  We're done, we're done doing, uh, distances from Pennsylvania places to Lake Champlain. Again, a nine-letter dish.

• 43:16Speaker 06

  There's somebody out there listening, it's just like, I knew it!

• 43:18Speaker 04

  And northeastern miles or time, that's way longer than Montana time.

• 43:23Speaker 03

  In what way?

• 43:24Speaker 06

  Cause there's like...

• 43:26Speaker 04

  Like, no one thinks twice about driving six hours across Montana.

• 43:30Speaker 03

  I know, that's why I was gonna say it's a haul. Again, a nine-letter dish, that's a thinly sliced raw meat or fish served with a sauce, is everybody ready? And I bet if, if you're going from where we're sitting now to like northeast Montana, that's probably six and a half hours.

• 43:47Speaker 06

  You'd pass a lot fewer Burger Kings, though, along the way, which is how some of us measure our road trip.

• 43:54Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal and Yanni saying carpaccio. Seth says sashimi. Randall says carpaccio. Corey, shashimi. Hansy and Nate and Brody say carpaccio. They got it. The correct answer is carpaccio. Here's how you spell it. C A R P A C C I O. Anybody have that right?

• 44:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:21Speaker 03

  A lot of people. The modern version of carpaccio was created in Venice in the 1950s. It was specially made for a wealthy customer whose doctor recommended she stop eating cooked meat to learn how to make it with fish or venison. Check out Wade Trung's article on the meat eater dot com called "How to Make Carpaccio."

• 44:39Speaker 05

  I want, I would love to go to that doctor.

• 44:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, I know. Wondering what else he's got in his toolbox.

• 44:45Speaker 03

  Well, he was in the 1950s, so you might need a medium to talk to him. Phil, give us a scoreboard update with two questions to go.

• 44:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, pull it up here. There she is.

• 44:56Speaker 05

  Oh, damn.

• 44:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think only two players are out of the running here. We've got Nate with three and Seth with four. Then coming up next are Cal, Yannis and Corey with five points apiece. Hansy has six, thanks to that anteater question.

• 45:13Speaker 05

  Look at him laughing. Now, now he's knocking on your door, Randall.

• 45:18Speaker 04

  And then tied up in first place are Randall and Brody with seven points.

• 45:21Speaker 03

  Question nine. The topic is conservation. The largest loggerhead sea turtle nesting site in the world is found in this state.

• 45:32Speaker 05

  Sheesh.

• 45:37Speaker 03

  Question nine. The topic is conservation. The largest loggerhead sea turtle nesting site in the world is found in this state. Not seen anyone write down an answer yet. The largest loggerhead sea turtle nesting site in the world is found in this state. Yanni, how you feel about your answer?

• 46:06Speaker 05

  I've seen a few loggerheads fishing over the years.

• 46:10Speaker 03

  Oh, you don't have to say where.

• 46:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, say where. In the ocean.

• 46:13Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 46:17Speaker 03

  Be uh, be a cryptid if you saw it anywhere else, probably.

• 46:25Speaker 03

  The largest loggerhead sea turtle nesting site in the world is found in this state.

• 46:31Speaker 05

  It's popular to uh.

• 46:35Speaker 05

  Eat the eggs.

• 46:37Speaker 05

  In some places. That's what got him in trouble. Yeah, yeah. But no, to make like a cast of the shell. And then recreate it and use it in a lot of coastal places. You'll see him as, you know, in like a beach cottage, you'll see that like a fiberglass cast of the shell. It's pretty cool. And that's like. Cause they're big. In your relatives beach cottage.

• 47:02Speaker 05

  So just, just the fact you said beach cottage. Yeah. Takes me to a certain place.

• 47:08Steven Rinella?

  Now we know it's on the ocean.

• 47:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:12Speaker 03

  I was gonna say.

• 47:13Speaker 05

  Not Oklahoma.

• 47:13Speaker 03

  Now I've gotta change my mind. Is everybody ready? No.

• 47:20Speaker 03

  Randall, how do you feel about your answer?

• 47:23Speaker 05

  I, I don't feel super confident.

• 47:26Speaker 03

  Okay, Brody, who is tied for the lead with Randall, how do you feel about your answer?

• 47:29Speaker 05

  I got a bunch written down. I haven't circled one yet.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  Okay, better be fixing to select one. I think we're gonna flip over the boards.

• 47:38Speaker 03

  Everybody ready?

• 47:39Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 47:39Speaker 03

  Brody? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Cal says Florida. Yanis, Florida. Seth, South Carolina. Randall, Georgia. Corey, South Carolina. Hansy, South Carolina. Nate, Florida crossed out Texas. Brody says Florida crossed out Georgia and South Carolina. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Florida.

• 48:07Speaker 03

  Four of our players maybe got that one right. There are nine population segments of loggerhead turtles, all of which are listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Florida set a record in 2023 with 130,000 loggerhead nests, which is 30,000 more than the average year. The world's next largest site is located near Saudi Arabia, where about 20,000 loggerheads nest.

• 48:34Speaker 05

  We were in South Carolina last summer when they were.

• 48:37Speaker 04

  Coming up on the beach in Mexico, it's cool.

• 48:40Speaker 03

  Okay, question, here's a-

• 48:41Speaker 05

  You ever do some like real dirtbagging it in Mexico? You do have to look out for Huelos de Tortuga.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, they don't mind.

• 48:51Speaker 03

  Yep. Here's a correct answer review so far before we do question 10. One was Idaho, two, prescribed fire, three, kelp, four, amber, five, wild turkey, six, echidna, seven, Lake Champlain, eight, Carpaccio, nine, Florida. Question 10. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jace Jenkins for sending this great question. Jace, it's 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]. And before I read it, Phil, give us one last scoreboard update.

• 49:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's down to Randall and Brody. Brody just pulled ahead with that last answer. He's got eight points and Randall has seven.

• 49:35Speaker 03

  Here's question 10. This subspecies of Argali sheep that's native to Central Asia is named after an Italian explorer. Brody is writing his answer- Game over, Randall. With some confidence. You could've taken that a lot of different ways. He's going to win.

• 49:55Speaker 03

  Randall and most of the room is confident in their answer here. This subspecies of Argali sheep that's native to Central Asia is named after an Italian explorer. I feel to not be included in the word most.

• 50:12Speaker 03

  Hansi and Corey are not as confident.

• 50:14Speaker 06

  Oh, no, I had an answer before you finished.

• 50:15Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 50:17Speaker 06

  So I don't know who you're talking to.

• 50:19Speaker 03

  Just Hansi, struggling with this one. Is everybody ready?

• 50:25Speaker 03

  Hansi, you gonna come up with an answer? Type of sheep. Type of sheep named after an Italian explorer.

• 50:32Speaker 06

  It's a really fun game in the-

• 50:35Speaker 03

  Oh, I was just gonna say that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yes, Hotsy gets it. Cal and Yanis, the whole room says Marco Polo and everybody got it right. Correct answer is Marco Polo. Marco Polo sheep are known for their giant horns and rugged home range. They are considered a near threatened species with population declines due to habitat loss from climate change and warfare. The sheep are named after Marco Polo because he documented them when crossing Mount Imion in 1271 to hunt a Marco Polo sheep. He'll need at least $50,000 for a tag and guide. Brody is our winner today with nine correct answers.

• 51:18Speaker 03

  Brody, which one did you get wrong to cost you the perfect game?

• 51:22Speaker 05

  Echidna.

• 51:23Speaker 03

  Echidna, couldn't come up with echidna. So Brody gets to choose where the $500 donation from MeatEater goes. What's it gonna be?

• 51:31Speaker 04

  Cal, does Utah have a BHA chapter?

• 51:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, Utah BHA is kicking ass right now.

• 51:38Speaker 04

  So, um, the Supreme Court just decided not to hear the case for Utah, the Utah land grab, but that doesn't mean it's not, that doesn't mean it's gonna go away. So we'll donate it to Utah BHA so they can keep fighting that, that land grab effort.

• 51:58Speaker 03

  Brody sending $500 their way and we just covered that subject on the meat eater.com about what's happening in Utah. Join us next week for more MeatEater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 52:12Speaker 06

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

• 52:25Speaker 06

  And he likes taking those two and three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur.

• 52:37Steven Rinella?

  I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house, they all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you'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
