  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 Yanis Brody, Randall, Nate, Sarah, and Corey. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. All right, we have a mailbag question to start today's- Show if you have a question you want the crew to answer, send your question with the subject line mailbag to trivia at the meat eater.com. Steven Funk says, I hunted as a kid, but only got one deer and some squirrels. I'm now 32 and wanting to get back into hunting, but have no one to go with nor learn from any suggestions for someone getting back into it.

• 2:30Speaker 05

  Such as where to start and recommend gear. I've considered getting a Henry 22 and going for squirrel on local public lands as I no longer have access to private land as I did when I was a kid.

• 2:42Speaker 06

  Oh, can I go first?

• 2:43Speaker 05

  Yes. What do we got for Steven?

• 2:45Speaker 06

  Well, you prepped us a little bit with his question before we started, but I didn't read the email earlier. And so I had no idea about his squirrel hunting, but that right there is a 100% where he should just pick right back up.

• 2:58Speaker 05

  He chose a good place to start.

• 2:59Speaker 06

  Did he include where he's from?

• 3:01Speaker 05

  He did not say.

• 3:02Steven Rinella?

  But if he's only going to get one gun, I'd go shotgun, not 22.

• 3:07Speaker 06

  Oh, he says he can only afford one gun.

• 3:09Speaker 05

  He didn't say that. He says, I've considered getting a Henry 22 and going for squirrel on local public lands. Let's assume he's just going to buy one new gun.

• 3:17Speaker 06

  Aesthetically, it's most pleasing.

• 3:19Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, but if you want versatility, get yourself a 20 gauge.

• 3:23Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 3:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, maybe one you can swap barrel on, so you can shoot a slug and shoot a deer. Cause that's what he wants to do is shoot, get himself some.

• 3:31Steven Rinella?

  What state, did it say what state?

• 3:32Speaker 05

  Did not say where he's from. Nate Mason, when, when did you kill your first deer?

• 3:35Speaker 06

  Uh, that would have been 2020, shot it, shot it with a bow.

• 3:39Speaker 05

  Age.

• 3:40Speaker 06

  Oh, man, 24.

• 3:42Speaker 05

  Age 24. Okay. Give some advice to Steven.

• 3:45Speaker 06

  So as a fellow onset, adult onset hunter, you need to like, you gotta get a mentor, dude. Like you gotta find someone who's willing to take you under their wing. It will speed your learning curve up so fast and it'll make you actually enjoy it. The key to that is like, come prepared. When you approach someone to ask them for your time, come with a plan, have your hunting license, have your weapon picked out. Do some initial scouting, even though your scouting is going to be pointless and show that you're invested. I have so many people who now approach me and say, Hey, I want to learn to hunt. And I'm like, cool, do it. Um, and then they don't have a hunting license. They don't have a plan. They don't know what kind of weapon they're going to use. And I, it just falls out, but when a guy approaches me with a plan and shows that he's bought in, then that'll, that'll set you up for success. They're kind of coming to you.

• 4:28Speaker 05

  For that, though. Yeah, I mean, that I get what you're saying.

• 4:32Speaker 06

  No, dude, you gotta come prepared. You're gonna get more out of it.

• 4:34Speaker 05

  But you don't know how to prepare if you're a new hunter.

• 4:37Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 4:37Speaker 05

  If you're a new hunter fixing to kill a deer, do you have the freezer space? Like, there's a good point, good place to start.

• 4:43Speaker 06

  Dude, just chat GPT it. Tell whatever chat tells you to do it. I say, I'm gonna approach this person. What do I need to lay out? It'll give you 10 things. You do five of those things. That guy will be so stoked and so much more likely to help you.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  I'll I'll add to the mentor thing.

• 4:58Speaker 05

  That's it. It's not easy finding a mentor like all the time. Like, look at your state fishing game agency, because they often have like new hunter programs.

• 5:09Speaker 06

  I went to a hunter 101, thinking I just wanted to shoot pigs with an AR 15. And this guy, Lyle Avis, huge meat eater fan, big hound hunter. Or anyways, he took me under his wing and he was awesome. And without him, I would not have been. I wouldn't be here today.

• 5:23Speaker 05

  As Brody said, the state orgs have a lot of mentorship programs, as do conservation orgs, N W T F, Ruffe Grouse Society, National Deer Association, International Hunter Education Association, RMEF, BHA. They all have something like that that will hook you up with someone who knows what they're doing. Talk up the old timers at the shooting range. Yeah, don't even. I would say too, like,

• 5:47Speaker 05

  if you're using an org like that to try to find a mentor, show up at like a service day. Because then you're gonna go pull fence or do whatever with a bunch of folks who are very invested in the lifestyle and in the future. I mean, like, people with years and years and years of experience and you already know that they're

• 6:10Speaker 05

  into the idea of passing it on and public service and all that. You're gonna have better luck like at a field day with with people who are volunteering for fish and wildlife than you are.

• 6:19Speaker 06

  I like the gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse or whatever.

• 6:23Speaker 05

  Can I add one more thing before you move on Spencer? Go out there by yourself, like don't be scared, like go do it. Like as important as a mentor is, like you can go learn a lot just going out there and making mistakes by yourself. So like, don't be afraid to go out in the woods. Yeah, having a mentor is like you can't replace that, but I would say in the year 2026, the learning curve has never been smaller. For something like this, specifically with like YouTube, as someone who picked up a new outdoor hobby like during COVID, which was rock hounding. I didn't know anything about that. I didn't know anybody who was a rock hound. Uh, I, I liked it. A lot of my learning through YouTube. My God, Spencer, I thought you were a lifelong rock. I was always rock curious. I would see a rock and be like, what is that thing? I'd like to know if I can have that, what it is, is it special?

• 7:09Speaker 05

  Um, it was really COVID that was like, okay, I think I'm going to get into this thing. Anyway, there was a lot of.

• 7:12Speaker 05

  Now your house is full of rocks. Full of rocks. My house is mostly rocks. Yes. Uh, you can, you can learn a lot on YouTube. Uh, the other thing I would say it, it is a, a true like bona fide statistic. I don't remember if it was via, uh, the National Shooting Sports Foundation or the US Fish Wildlife Service, but the number one barrier to entry is having a place to go hunt. Um, and so for whatever state you're in, I would say get on X. It's like 30 bucks a year. You'll find all the public land. Uh, this guy, like I would search your own last name on there, Steven Funk and see if there are maybe there's an uncle who has a farm you don't know about. Or like here, I'm, I'm serious. This, I do this or I did this when I got on X for the first time and I was like, okay, where are the new hearts at?

• 7:55Speaker 05

  Uh, on X is really great for that. You might find a place you can hunt. Search your boss's name.

• 7:59Speaker 06

  Why stop there? Why not do 23andMe?

• 8:01Speaker 05

  Absolutely. Like it is, it is, having a place to hunt is the hardest part about hunting. That's just a fact. Um, so, so on X, I think the $30 you can spend on that is, is well worth it. Uh, and then we also have an article on the meat eater.com that Brody wrote in 2020, how to find a hunting mentor. Who says a long time ago. You'll learn some good tips there. There you go. All right. We have some housekeeping, uh, but not really. The Meat Eater Auction House of Oddities has returned. Today, July 8th is when everything kicks off. We've got more than 30 items available with 100% of the proceeds going to the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative. Brody, tell folks about the LAI and all the good work. Yeah, uh, it was launched back in 2020. I don't know.

• 8:44Speaker 05

  It was part of the Rinella Patelas campaign. Promise, but uh, back in 2020, uh, we created it to uh, increase public a- access for hunting, fishing, and all forms of outdoor recreation. So we raised money to increase access through, we do that through donations, sales, auctions, et cetera. Um, few of the notable projects, 2020 was the first one, Shiloh Pond in Maine.

• 9:13Speaker 05

  That, that was uh, an area in Kingfield Township that was uh, gonna get privatized and we stepped in and kinda rescued it. 2022 Montana Great Outdoors Project, uh, we, we opened up, well, we connected, um, I, I, I'm not sure how much land we actually bought, but it was 150 acre, 150,000 acre conservation. He's just opened up a bunch of access to a bunch of land. Um, Wildcat Bend in Montana was after that, bunch of access on the Yellowstone River. Then a big one, we helped fund the uh, Legal Defense Fund for the Missouri Four in Wyoming's uh,

• 9:54Speaker 05

  big old corner crossing case. Um, and we're back now for uh, Tucker Town Game Lands in North Carolina for 2026. As I just said, having access to a place to hunt fish, that's the number one barrier and that's what the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative is working towards, giving you more places to hunt and fish. Uh, some of the highlights of things we have in the auction house, Steve's dad's old pickup that's filled with hunting gear, a bow made by Bear Newcomb, a tanned bear hide from Clay Newcomb, fly fishing memorabilia from Lefty Cray, uh, DOS Boat Motor, that's a 150 VTEC outboard, uh, leftover barn board, that's the same barn board that's in our new podcast studio,

• 10:35Speaker 05

  three punt gun shells, 73 hats that were shot by a punt gun, signed trivia board games, uh, dinosaur bone jewelry and mammoth bone jewelry that was made by my wife, a box of rocks, fossils and gemstones from my personal collection and much, much more. It's all happening right now at the meat eater.com slash auction. The bidding ends in two weeks. All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia.

• 11:03Speaker 05

  I almost forgot we were here for trivia.

• 11:09Speaker 07

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

• 11:14Speaker 07

  How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 11:23Speaker 05

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Logan Leathero for sending this great question. Logan is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. All right, the topic is conservation. This is multiple choice. Besides the word department, what is the most commonly used word in the name of each state's game agency? Is it resources, fish, conservation, or wildlife?

• 12:01Speaker 05

  So it's besides the words department, the, and, and. Those are one, two, and three. We're looking for fourth place. What is the most commonly used word in the name of each state's game agency? Is it resources, fish, conservation, or wildlife?

• 12:24Speaker 06

  It's real stuff. This is a great question.

• 12:26Speaker 05

  It's a great question. That's why it's our listener question of the week. So department, the, and, and are one, two, and three. We're looking for fourth. What is the most commonly used word in the name of each state's game agency? Resources, fish, conservation, wildlife.

• 12:49Speaker 05

  Yanni, how you doing? Yanni's got his USA shirt on today. Is that your go-to USA shirt?

• 12:57Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's my Fourth of July outfit.

• 12:59Speaker 05

  Oh, okay. Still rocking it on the sixth of July.

• 13:02Speaker 06

  My kids made it. Well, yeah, because...

• 13:05Speaker 05

  The US of A is playing Belgium today and uh figured where the colors.

• 13:10Speaker 06

  There we go. With their full roster. Yep. Who? Yeah.

• 13:16Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 13:17Speaker 06

  I love it.

• 13:18Speaker 05

  Oh, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not ready. Is it resources, fish, conservation, or wildlife?

• 13:27Speaker 06

  I feel like we got good vibes in the room today.

• 13:29Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 13:31Speaker 06

  What do you think about that, Brody?

• 13:32Speaker 05

  Well, I don't. For who?

• 13:34Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 13:34Speaker 05

  Just generally. Good vibes for everyone.

• 13:36Speaker 06

  Just generally.

• 13:37Speaker 05

  It's good that you feel that way. Waiting on Yanni. We'll see if you feel that way six or seven questions from.

• 13:42Speaker 06

  Probably not.

• 13:43Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanis saying fish. Sarah, fish, Randall, fish, Corey, wildlife, Nate, resources, Brody, wildlife. The correct answer is wildlife. Crossed it out. I think we had two of our six players get that one. After the words department, the and and the most commonly used word for state game agencies is wildlife, which appears in thirty-two of fifty states. That's followed by the word natural twenty-four times, resources twenty-one. Fish nineteen, game fourteen, and conservation five.

• 14:26Speaker 05

  California is the most recent state to add the word wildlife to their name, going from the California Department of Fish and Game to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in twenty thirteen.

• 14:38Speaker 06

  They had fish.

• 14:39Speaker 05

  They had fish.

• 14:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 14:40Speaker 05

  Then they added wildlife. Never thought about the game versus wildlife thing. That was kind of what was going through my head when I picked fish. Yeah, thirty-two of fifty states have the word wildlife in their name. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Pam Corwin. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a dolly varden, is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world?

• 15:08Speaker 06

  Bucket list. I don't know, anything that this question is asking.

• 15:12Speaker 05

  Okay. Pretty high up. Sarah, Brody, Randall, all quick to answer. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a dolly varden, is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world.

• 15:23Speaker 06

  Wish I knew what a dolly varden is.

• 15:25Speaker 05

  Well, after this day.

• 15:26Speaker 06

  It's a character from a Dickens novel.

• 15:28Speaker 05

  Oh. We will show you a picture of a dolly varden and this fish.

• 15:32Speaker 06

  There should be a, oh, I'm not gonna talk.

• 15:35Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 15:38Speaker 05

  This is question two. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a dolly varden, is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world. Randall, have you ever caught one of these?

• 15:48Speaker 06

  Uh, no.

• 15:50Speaker 05

  No, okay. Four for six in this.

• 15:52Speaker 06

  Caught some dollies. Phil, would you look up, is it David Copperfield? Sure, I'll get right on that, please.

• 15:58Speaker 05

  The, the book?

• 15:59Speaker 06

  Yeah. I'm trying to remember where dolly varden.

• 16:02Speaker 05

  I didn't know that that's where that came from.

• 16:05Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah. That's trivia.

• 16:07Speaker 05

  That is trivia.

• 16:08Speaker 06

  Charles Dickens's eighteen forty-one historical novel, Barnaby Rudge.

• 16:13Speaker 05

  Oh, okay. So it's not trivia. It's wrong trivia.

• 16:16Speaker 06

  Yeah. Well, it's, it's from a Dickens novel. It is. You got it.

• 16:20Speaker 05

  Oh, that was a good poll.

• 16:21Speaker 06

  It's a half point. Shelby.

• 16:23Speaker 05

  This appropriately named fish, which resembles a dolly varden. Man, it's tough not being an angler, isn't it?

• 16:28Speaker 06

  Dude, it hurts. I'm gonna write in and ask how to become an adult answer angler, dude.

• 16:34Speaker 05

  It's not that hard. Well, you, you have a strike against you since you don't drink beer, Nate.

• 16:39Speaker 06

  No.

• 16:39Speaker 05

  And that's a crucial part.

• 16:40Speaker 06

  No, it's not.

• 16:41Speaker 05

  No. Being an adult angler.

• 16:44Speaker 06

  Not if you wanna be a good adult angler. No. Yeah.

• 16:47Speaker 05

  Randall said he couldn't go with him, uh, if he didn't.

• 16:49Speaker 06

  I didn't say that. Brody said, Brody said he wouldn't want to go with me.

• 16:54Speaker 05

  How many fish do you know?

• 16:56Speaker 06

  Probably like six.

• 16:56Speaker 05

  Catfish. That's not a lot of fish. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Uh.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  No way.

• 17:03Speaker 05

  We have Yanni, Sarah, and Randall saying Arctic char. Corey says bull trout. Brody and Nate say Arctic char. They got it.

• 17:12Speaker 06

  Let's go.

• 17:13Speaker 05

  The correct answer is the Arctic char. Well done.

• 17:17Speaker 06

  You're in the same. Fly fishing guy, eh? Never seen an Arctic.

• 17:20Speaker 05

  Char. They look like dollies.

• 17:22Speaker 06

  I've never heard of one.

• 17:23Speaker 05

  They used to think they're all the same damn thing. I thought they were the same thing still. Arctic Char, dollies, bull trap.

• 17:29Speaker 06

  I bet the flavor text will tell us.

• 17:31Speaker 05

  The northernmost population of Arctic Char is found on Elsmere Island, which is about 400 miles from the North Pole. Their southernmost native population is Maine. Arctic Char have a slow metabolism that makes them well suited to live in places with low nutrients and long winters. Here's a picture of you showing the difference between the Arctic Char. Oh, man, you can do better than that. Give me one where you can see the colors. Phil, can you type in Sea Run Arctic Char?

• 17:57Speaker 06

  That looks like evidence.

• 17:59Speaker 05

  They also look like a bull trap. As Corey. Sea Run? Sea Run.

• 18:04Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 18:05Speaker 05

  Sea Run Arctic Char. The Arctic Char has a wide variance of colors that they produce. This one is more on the bland, silver side. Yeah, it also looks like it's from the. They can produce some real good color. All right, while Phil looks that up, we'll move on to question three. For me, man, those Sea Run suckers, they get big, beautiful. Yeah, the Arctic Char can look like a lot of different salmonid species at different points in their development. Question three, the topic is hunting. We'll get back to that. In sporting clays, the discs that erratically roll and bounce across the ground are named after this animal.

• 18:44Speaker 05

  Sarah, Nate, Brody, Randall, all quick to answer. They suck to hit. Sarah's done it.

• 18:51Speaker 06

  Sarah signed up for a sporting clays tournament.

• 18:53Speaker 05

  Okay. I signed up for a sporting clays tournament. Now, do you shoot these in sporting clays or not? Yeah, oh, yeah. There's some stations that have them. Yeah, not every station, but they're all different. These are, how do these rank among the hardest to hit? They're hard to hit.

• 19:07Speaker 06

  Hard.

• 19:08Speaker 05

  Cause they bounce erratically.

• 19:11Speaker 05

  In sporting clays. Some courses will set them so. Intentionally so they kick up and you have to like. Make sure there's some rocks or tree roots around to make contact with. In sporting clays, the discs that erratically roll and bounce across the ground are named after this animal. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the whole room saying rabbit, except Corey who says pigeon. The correct answer is rabbit. Oh. Or bunny. I've seen them called bunny clays as well. Rabbit clays are about the same size as clay pigeons, but have heavier reinforced edges. They change speeds as they hop across the ground, making them a challenge to hit. The National Shooting Sports Foundation says these clays are about the same speed as others,

• 19:56Speaker 05

  but appear faster because of their movement against a background.

• 20:00Speaker 06

  Is this your sea run Arctic char?

• 20:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's a good one.

• 20:04Speaker 06

  I don't know who that man is.

• 20:05Speaker 05

  That other thing up there, I don't know what that was, but that's an Arctic char. The other one was not running to the sea. That was just a sad inland. Sad. Not that one. Boy, that is a beauty. Hmm. The trick for those rabbits is to aim for the front foot. If it's a clay, it's round, but you have to think about hitting the front foot. Okay. It gets your eyes in the right spot.

• 20:23Speaker 06

  I just close my eyes and squeeze the trigger.

• 20:27Speaker 05

  Question four. The topic is wildlife. A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates.

• 20:40Speaker 05

  Brody, very quick to answer. Randall joins him. A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates.

• 20:53Speaker 05

  Yanni, do you have this one right?

• 20:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, I got a good guess. I was gonna say that I think one of the very first animals that I killed on a hunt was a rabbit via shotgun. And I can still remember just being so surprised. Like I remember, I can still vividly remember like the shot, like cutting the dirt and that rabbit going from run to like a little bit of a skid and then a stop and just being like, holy shit. Like it all worked, you know? So I feel whenever I hit a clay.

• 21:24Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 21:24Speaker 06

  Pop.

• 21:26Speaker 05

  Are the, Sarah, are the rabbits, are they always coming across you? Or are they ever like going away from you? Uh, they're never going straight away. They're typically always crossing, but sometimes they'll kind of cross away and.

• 21:39Speaker 02

  I had no idea those existed.

• 21:40Speaker 05

  Yeah. They suck.

• 21:42Speaker 06

  Clearly.

• 21:42Speaker 05

  They're hard to hit.

• 21:45Speaker 05

  A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates.

• 21:52Speaker 06

  Hmm, we have some of these.

• 21:54Speaker 05

  You have some of these?

• 21:56Speaker 06

  I think so.

• 21:56Speaker 05

  Oh, I'm so jealous. I'd like one.

• 21:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, if I can dig one up, I'll give you some. They always pick them up on the beach in North Carolina.

• 22:04Speaker 01

  Your first answer should be for a mermaid, not a mermaid.

• 22:07Speaker 05

  Whenever I'm on the coast now, I'm always bringing home trash. It's like the rockhound forager in me.

• 22:13Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 22:13Speaker 05

  Have not found one of these.

• 22:14Speaker 06

  You should go shark's tooth hunting with Jennifer. Oh.

• 22:18Speaker 05

  That's funnier.

• 22:18Speaker 06

  She came home with hundreds after last trip. Dude, I found two hundred and nine in my last batch.

• 22:24Speaker 05

  Damn.

• 22:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, smoked my brother. Suck it, Gabe.

• 22:26Speaker 05

  I'm extra jealous. Give it what state?

• 22:28Speaker 06

  Maryland. Well, Virginia, actually, but same time. You get any big ones? They all little dinkers. I found a great white, but it like, it depends on what you mean by big. I use like that big. That's a big tooth, but people are thinking mag teeth, you know? Yeah. Small. No, the ones that are like, we get some quarter sized ones too, but Yeah. Our buddy Parker Hall, he always sends me pictures of the ones the size of his palm. That's the dream, dude. Yeah. Man, I want a necklace with that.

• 22:52Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready? A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery case egg, or the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says purse. Sarah says tail. Randall purse. Corey scale. Nate tail. Brody purse. The correct answer is a mermaid's purse.

• 23:15Speaker 06

  Bomber.

• 23:16Speaker 05

  Although sizes and shapes vary, a typical mermaid's purse is rectangular with distinct horns. The pouch is made of tough collagen that shields the baby from the outside world. Only about thirty percent of shark species produce a mermaid's purse. The empty pouches will wash up on beaches with coastal lore saying that finding one is a sign of wealth, good luck, and blessings from the sea. There you go, Yanni.

• 23:41Speaker 06

  No wonder I'm doing so.

• 23:42Speaker 07

  Good.

• 23:42Speaker 05

  There you go. Well, good luck and see blessings.

• 23:45Speaker 07

  Nate, how are those vibes?

• 23:47Speaker 06

  Great.

• 23:47Speaker 07

  Yeah?

• 23:48Speaker 06

  I'm still, I'm still enjoying myself.

• 23:50Speaker 05

  You've got Arctic Char, you can't replace that.

• 23:52Speaker 06

  I could get the rest wrong and I'd leave this room happy.

• 23:55Speaker 05

  Money can't buy that, Nate, getting an Arctic Char.

• 23:57Speaker 06

  Nope.

• 23:58Speaker 05

  We're looking at a mermaid's purse now in the room. Question five, the topic is cooking. Martha Stewart says, quote, "It's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime when talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron."

• 24:19Speaker 05

  That's how Martha Stewart described it, "It's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime when talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron."

• 24:29Speaker 07

  Huh.

• 24:30Speaker 05

  Brody came up with an answer. Brody, do you think you agree with Martha Stewart?

• 24:35Speaker 07

  I'm trying to.

• 24:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 24:38Speaker 05

  He's not sure.

• 24:38Speaker 06

  Up to this point, I thought your questions are really good. This one's not so good.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  This might ruffle some feathers, but the whole soap and cast iron thing only really applies to old cast iron.

• 24:48Speaker 06

  That's true.

• 24:49Speaker 02

  And you can use soap on new cast iron.

• 24:51Speaker 05

  If you look at Lodge's website, when they tell you how to clean cast iron, they tell you to use soap.

• 24:55Speaker 07

  Yeah, I'm gonna leave it.

• 24:56Speaker 02

  It has to, it was the, like, the older soaps, what, they had lion them and it, like, ate away at cast iron?

• 25:02Speaker 05

  It still feels naughty.

• 25:04Speaker 02

  It does.

• 25:04Speaker 05

  I respect the tradition, I don't use soap.

• 25:06Speaker 02

  I absolutely do use soap.

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Martha Stewart's advice here. Martha Stewart says, "It's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime when talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron."

• 25:21Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 25:22Speaker 05

  Randall, do you think you have this one?

• 25:25Speaker 06

  Nope. I have an abrasive substance.

• 25:29Speaker 05

  Why?

• 25:30Speaker 02

  There's a lot of those.

• 25:32Speaker 05

  Brody's going back to his whiteboard after he declared that he wasn't gonna change his answer.

• 25:39Speaker 05

  Yanni, Cory coming up with their answer.

• 25:43Speaker 05

  Yanni, are you ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal answers. We have Yanni saying salt, Sarah salt, Randall baking soda, Cory sand, Nate salt, Brody salt. The correct answer is salt.

• 25:58Speaker 06

  Nice.

• 25:59Speaker 05

  You did well.

• 26:00Speaker 06

  I'll swing that in chain mail.

• 26:02Speaker 05

  There you go. According to Martha Stewart, it's best to just clean cast iron with hot water. And if the buildup is bad, reach for salt. The recommended process is to heat the cast iron on a stove for a few minutes. Then apply a couple teaspoons of salt and scrub it in. After that, you can rinse the pan and re-season the cast iron. I'm gonna try it. I've never tried it. I've used the salt and it got rid of some rust for me. Um, so I, it's worth a shot.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  Get like the diamond or the, um, Morton's kosher, really, really coarse.

• 26:32Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. We have boxes of that stuff in our house.

• 26:35Speaker 02

  I prefer diamond, but Morton's in this case.

• 26:38Speaker 05

  Randall, I think there are people who do use baking soda.

• 26:40Speaker 06

  Yeah, I bet there are.

• 26:41Speaker 05

  But that is not.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  Seems like a great answer.

• 26:43Speaker 05

  Martha Stewart was referring to.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  And sand works great if you're not in a kitchen.

• 26:48Speaker 02

  It is abrasive.

• 26:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, as a fishing guide, you've done that on the side of the river before.

• 26:53Speaker 01

  Yep. My, my Arctic Char fishing guide did.

• 26:56Speaker 05

  All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 27:01Speaker 06

  Ooh.

• 27:02Speaker 01

  Here at halftime, Cory falling way behind. He's got one point. I think I'm elsewhere mentally at the moment. Seems like it. We've got Sarah, Randall and Nate with three points apiece. Yanis Butellas has four in second place and with a perfect game, yeah, it's Brody.

• 27:18Speaker 05

  Wow. All right. Brody's not even paying attention as you call off his positioning, Phil. He knew. Yeah, he knew he was a roll in a perfect game. O H stand for?

• 27:29Speaker 06

  Adult onset Hunter.

• 27:31Speaker 05

Question six, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ben Ladage. Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film.

• 29:21Speaker 06

  And the room is stunned.

• 29:22Speaker 05

  They are stunned. Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film. Phil, do you think you would have gotten this one right? As we have six players sitting here with blank whiteboards.

• 29:36Speaker 06

  Well, I almost, when Yanni said the room is stunned, I almost piped in with, no, not the whole room.

• 29:41Speaker 05

  Not the guy looking at the answer.

• 29:44Speaker 06

  Hey.

• 29:45Speaker 05

  Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film.

• 29:56Speaker 05

  That's all you need to know in the question. What could it be?

• 30:00Speaker 05

  Told you two of the actors, the year from Disney, and it won two Oscars. How about that?

• 30:12Speaker 05

  Is it a cartoon? Sarah, do you like your answer?

• 30:18Speaker 06

  Uh, maybe. I don't know. Couldn't tell you. Oh, I should know this, but I've tried to wipe Mel Gibson out of my brain. It's too problematic. It's probably not Braveheart.

• 30:31Speaker 06

  No, I know. If that helps.

• 30:33Speaker 05

  I don't think that was a Disney flick, anyway.

• 30:35Speaker 06

  No. It was probably the same era as Braveheart, right? Yeah, I think so. Pretty, probably close.

• 30:43Speaker 06

  Sometime between.

• 30:44Speaker 05

  Give us a clue.

• 30:45Speaker 06

  Lethal Weapon.

• 30:48Speaker 05

  Could ruin the perfect game. For Brody, Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film. This would have been like

• 31:02Speaker 05

  Lethal Weapon three or four?

• 31:05Speaker 06

  Yeah, somewhere in there.

• 31:07Speaker 05

  How old were you, Nate, in 1995? Like, negative three?

• 31:10Speaker 06

  Ninety-five?

• 31:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 31:12Speaker 06

  Oh, one?

• 31:13Speaker 05

  One, okay.

• 31:14Speaker 06

  No, negative one.

• 31:15Speaker 05

  Do you know who Mel Gibson is?

• 31:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, dude. He's a star of two of my favorite movies.

• 31:19Speaker 05

  Wow, okay, uh, I'd have to...

• 31:23Speaker 06

  Braveheart and the Patriot.

• 31:26Speaker 06

  What's the first one? Braveheart.

• 31:30Speaker 05

  Yanni's got a blank whiteboard. Randall, do you have a blank whiteboard?

• 31:33Speaker 06

  I'm not coming up with anything. I do, but I don't like it.

• 31:36Speaker 05

  Wow. I don't like mine either.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  I just have a feeling that that Disney is in there for a reason, and I can't figure out why. Wow.

• 31:48Speaker 05

  Randall, Yanni, you boys give up?

• 31:51Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 31:51Speaker 05

  Yep. Not gonna come up with a 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film? Randall, last chance.

• 32:00Speaker 06

  I must have been...

• 32:01Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, no!

• 32:03Speaker 06

  No, I didn't do anything. What are you talking about?

• 32:05Speaker 05

  I don't think Nate saw anything. I must have been out patient. When this movie. Randall, you give up?

• 32:10Speaker 06

  Yeah, I give up.

• 32:11Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni without an answer. Sarah, Home on the Range. Randall without an answer. Corey says Fox and the Hound. Nate, Davy Crockett. Brody, The Patriot. Nobody got it.

• 32:24Speaker 06

  Ah.

• 32:25Speaker 05

  The correct answer is Pocahontas.

• 32:27Speaker 06

  Ah, I knew it was a cartoon.

• 32:30Speaker 05

  Oh, do you think of Mel Gibson when you think of Pocahontas?

• 32:33Speaker 06

  No, I don't. I also don't think of. He's John Smith. Oh. Is it an animated film? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think of. Colors of Wind.

• 32:42Speaker 05

  Oscar winning movies being.

• 32:44Speaker 06

  I don't think of, like, you refer to an actor as, if Mel Gibson is voicing the character. Just a feature note.

• 32:51Speaker 05

  Tom, just a feature note. I was like doing a Toy Story question. I mentioned Tom Hanks.

• 32:55Speaker 06

  It would have been too easy if he said Pocahontas stops John Smith. Right, yeah, like if you were. I think that was a perfect question. Yeah, no, I do. I just. I'm not fighting, but I do think that's irresponsible.

• 33:08Speaker 05

  I get that. The scene happens during the movie's most famous song, Colors of the Wind. The lyrics carry an environmentalist message with Pocahontas singing, quote, "You think you own whatever land you land on. The earth is just a dead thing you can claim, but I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name."

• 33:28Speaker 06

  It's funny because I'm real hot on Mulan, which is similar era, but not Pocahontas as much.

• 33:34Speaker 05

  Okay, well, put it on your radar. Question seven, the topic is fishing. America's thirty-seventh longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in what state?

• 33:45Speaker 06

  It's like the fourth fishing question we've had.

• 33:49Speaker 05

  America's thirty-seventh longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in.

• 33:55Speaker 06

  Soon as I heard that thirty-seventh, I was like, I know that.

• 34:01Speaker 05

  Brody has his answer locked in. Randall wrote something that he's erasing.

• 34:06Speaker 06

  Yeah. I've never heard of this river.

• 34:09Speaker 05

  Hmm. America's thirty-seventh longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in what state? I think if you were, uh, real interested in a certain type of fishing, you would know this.

• 34:22Speaker 06

  Now Spencer.

• 34:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, that is a tip I've ever heard one. Yeah. America's thirty-seventh longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in what state? Certain kind of fishing. Randall, do you think you have this one?

• 34:38Speaker 06

  I think I have it.

• 34:39Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 34:40Speaker 06

  I'm in the neighborhood.

• 34:42Speaker 05

  In the neighborhood. That's why it's such a good fishing question.

• 34:44Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 34:47Speaker 06

  Just throw a hint out there. Why not?

• 34:51Speaker 05

  Did.

• 34:52Speaker 06

  Here's a hint, pick up a fishing ride once in a while. Nope, absolutely not.

• 34:55Speaker 05

  It's a pretty good hint.

• 34:56Speaker 06

  Or a map.

• 34:58Speaker 06

  That would help.

• 34:59Speaker 05

  Get good.

• 35:01Speaker 05

  This is question.

• 35:02Speaker 06

  Unfortunately, my river map only goes to top twenty-five.

• 35:05Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 35:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, you gotta dig deep to get to thirty-seven.

• 35:11Speaker 05

  America's thirty-seventh longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in what state?

• 35:16Speaker 06

  It's a Charlie Crockett song, isn't it?

• 35:19Speaker 05

  Uh, it could be, I wouldn't be aware of it. That could be a hint.

• 35:24Speaker 06

  Phil, would you look that up just to humor me?

• 35:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:28Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 35:30Speaker 05

  The Trinity River, that would also be like a fictional river name that, you know, you could.

• 35:34Speaker 06

  There's probably multiple.

• 35:36Speaker 05

  Hey, uh-huh.

• 35:39Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready? No, give me a second. Got a, got a one in fifty chance.

• 35:44Speaker 06

  Randall, it is. Thank you, thanks. Probably not Rhode Island. I meant to tell you, you're doing a good job today. No, thank you. Although I wouldn't have let Spencer get away with it. Yeah, you were clutch with that art char picture film.

• 35:57Speaker 05

  Very important.

• 35:58Speaker 06

  You guys are being so kind.

• 36:01Speaker 05

  Yanni, trying to come up with a state.

• 36:06Speaker 05

  Come on, big dog.

• 36:07Speaker 06

  I'm ready.

• 36:07Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says North Carolina, Sarah says Oregon, Randall Nevada, Corey California, Nate New York, Brody Texas. Brody got it. The correct answer is Texas.

• 36:25Speaker 06

  Big ol' alligator gar down there.

• 36:26Speaker 05

  At 506 miles, the Trinity River is the same length as the White River that flows through South Dakota and Nebraska. The Trinity's headwaters form outside of Dallas with the river ending at the Gulf. The waterway is famous for its bass catfish and as Brody said, it's alligator gar. Big ol' alligator gar in the Trinity River.

• 36:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, the Charlie Crockett thing should have tipped me off.

• 36:49Speaker 05

  He wouldn't sing a song about Alaska or Maine.

• 36:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's disheartening.

• 36:55Speaker 05

  Uh, we are on to question eight. The topic is conservation.

• 37:00Speaker 06

  Vibes, you vibin'? Yep, still vibin'.

• 37:03Speaker 05

  This political commentator said the government is quote, "putting chemicals in the water that turned the friggin frogs gay in 2015."

• 37:13Speaker 06

  This is a trivia question.

• 37:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, I gotta, I gotta real chuckle out of myself writing this one.

• 37:19Speaker 06

  I should, I should just ask you before I come in, are there more than two fishing questions?

• 37:25Speaker 05

  And then you'll know if you're gonna, yeah, show up or not. This political commentator said the government is putting chemicals in the water that turned the friggin frogs gay in 2015.

• 37:36Speaker 06

  Man, you could've, you could've done my Napoleon Dynamite faux pas.

• 37:41Speaker 05

  I could've, yeah, it is tempting.

• 37:43Speaker 06

  I almost did it. I know, it's so tempting.

• 37:46Speaker 05

  On a scale of one to 10, how controversial is this figure?

• 37:48Speaker 06

  25.

• 37:49Speaker 05

  Okay, got it. That makes me so more, so much more confident. Brody, do you have this one right?

• 37:55Speaker 06

  Ooh, I don't know. There's a lot of, I feel like there's a lot of-

• 37:58Speaker 05

  People that could fill this role. This political commentator said the government.

• 38:03Speaker 06

  Has he been on the Meteor Podcast?

• 38:05Speaker 05

  Not giving you any hints.

• 38:07Speaker 06

  Not yet. Did he say? Your head's in the right place.

• 38:11Speaker 05

  We sent them an invite though, to see if they could come and talk about this. The quote is, putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging frogs gay. And that was said in 2015.

• 38:23Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 38:25Speaker 06

  God, what chemical? Probably fluoride.

• 38:29Speaker 05

  Sarah, do you have this one?

• 38:30Speaker 06

  Oh, I gotta tell you about my convo with the dentist.

• 38:33Speaker 05

  Hmm. Oh, yeah. Save that one for off.

• 38:35Speaker 06

  Yeah. Dude, we got enough dentists writing in about stuff.

• 38:40Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 38:43Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Brett Baer, Sarah, Alex Jones, Randall, Alex Jones, Corey, Sean Hannity, Nate, Alex Jones, Brody, Alex Jones. The correct answer is Alex Jones.

• 38:59Speaker 06

  Isn't he one of those Fox guys? No, no, no.

• 39:03Speaker 05

  He's too hot.

• 39:03Speaker 06

  Infowars guy.

• 39:06Speaker 05

  Was the Infowars. Turn the frigging frogs gay.

• 39:09Speaker 06

  Turn the frigging frogs gay.

• 39:10Speaker 05

  Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was referencing animal testing that suggested a popular herbicide can cause male frogs to become hermaphrodites. Frogs do experience sex reversal in the wild, with biologists saying it's a natural occurrence that can increase due to warm temperatures and exposure to herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and road salt.

• 39:31Speaker 06

  So he was right?

• 39:32Speaker 05

  Uh, he was, he was right referencing this one study that was hard to reproduce. It was done in a lab, and they do say that herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and road salts can do it, but frogs do it on their own naturally. Question nine, the topic is wildlife. Oh, we're gonna get a scoreboard update from Phil the.

• 39:50Speaker 06

  Oh, we're not gonna play the clip?

• 39:53Speaker 05

  Not gonna play the clip. Cause then we'd get sued by, who's it, the Onion that owns him now?

• 39:58Speaker 06

  Yeah. Tim Idecker. Uh, Brody's, Brody's got locked up. He's, he's got seven points. He's three points ahead of everybody else. That's all that matters. Uh, no, Corey has one point still here in question. Yannis, Sarah, Randall, and Nate all have four points.

• 40:15Speaker 05

  Yeah. Oh, look, I don't know. We've seen a three-point victory going into question nine.

• 40:21Speaker 06

  No need to. Marvel at it.

• 40:25Speaker 05

  Question nine, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Isaac Garlic. The Discovery Channel declared this nine-letter bird, quote, "The world's most dangerous bird."

• 40:39Speaker 06

  Well.

• 40:41Speaker 06

  Seems subjective. Like an opinion man.

• 40:44Speaker 05

  Uh, they have been given this title by many places. I saw Nat Geo, the Library of Congress. Oh yeah, it's common knowledge Spencer.

• 40:50Speaker 05

  There we go. I just had to assign it to one of them and I gave it to the Discovery Channel, who declared this nine-letter bird is the world's most dangerous bird. It'd be good home protection.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  So it's a bird that you could see having inside of your house? Not in the house, no. But like, uh, it wouldn't be like insurmountable. Well, yeah, no shit.

• 41:14Speaker 05

  It's not like insurmountable to like have as a pet, though. Yeah, I don't know. Might depend on what state you're in. I mean. My favorite Alex Jones-ism is that when he was going through, uh, the custody battle after a divorce a few years ago, it was during the deposition, he wasn't able to recall some basic facts about his kids, like, uh, who their teacher, like who his kid's teacher was, or something like that. Uh, and his excuse, his greatest excuse given in, in the history of humans giving excuses, was that he said, uh, quote, "I had a big old bowl of chili for lunch."

• 41:47Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 41:49Speaker 05

  It gave him like short-term amnesia because he ate too much chili.

• 41:54Speaker 06

  Uh, that explains some of my trivia performances.

• 41:56Speaker 05

  She's so good. Now I, I give that excuse to my wife all the time. Can't, I can't do it. Got chili brain.

• 42:03Speaker 06

  Is it one word?

• 42:05Speaker 05

  Nine-letter bird. I'm not giving you any other hints.

• 42:08Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 42:09Speaker 05

  The world's most dangerous bird. I'll give you a hint, Daniel, it's one word. It's one word. Doesn't matter if I give out hints now.

• 42:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 42:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, you clinched it. Brody could double up the room though at this point, which I, I do not think we have seen before. Yeah, it'd be a real pound. You guys could combine your scores. Well, I had a big old bowl of chili for lunch.

• 42:34Speaker 05

  The Discovery Channel declared this nine-letter bird is the world's most dangerous bird.

• 42:42Speaker 06

  Dangerous birds.

• 42:45Speaker 05

  Boy.

• 42:46Speaker 06

  Turkey's got this big.

• 42:48Speaker 05

  Be good eating.

• 42:55Speaker 06

  Be dangerous game.

• 42:58Speaker 06

  Well, that's not nine letters. Damn it. Yeah, flamingo. Oh no, I think that's the one I just had.

• 43:07Speaker 06

  And it's a bird.

• 43:08Speaker 05

  It's a bird, of course.

• 43:10Speaker 06

  Oh geez.

• 43:11Speaker 05

  Not getting cute with some flying reptile.

• 43:16Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 43:17Speaker 06

  Just a second. Stick a knife in me.

• 43:23Speaker 06

  Oh, come on. Let's go.

• 43:26Speaker 05

  Nine letter bird.

• 43:27Speaker 06

  Okay, hold on.

• 43:29Speaker 05

  I think, I think Randall's now trying harder than if he were just in second place competing for the victory. Really doesn't want to get double.

• 43:35Speaker 06

  I've forgotten what the score is already.

• 43:37Speaker 05

  Well, you're about to get laughed by Brody.

• 43:39Speaker 06

  Too busy thinking about.

• 43:43Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 43:44Speaker 06

  Dangerous.

• 43:47Speaker 05

  Dangerous bird. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni without an answer. Sarah without an answer. Randall bald ego. Corey says ostriches. Nate says albatross. Brody says cassowary. He got it. The correct answer is the cassowary. The cassowary is the second heaviest and third tallest bird in the world. Although attacks are rare and they're not overly aggressive. They do a lot of damage if provoked. Their best weapon is a dinosaur like talon that can disembowel prey and break bones with a single kick. Only two people in recorded history have been killed by a cassowary. Here's a picture of one. So you can see just how terrifying.

• 44:30Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 44:30Speaker 05

  Really are.

• 44:31Speaker 01

  How big is that?

• 44:32Speaker 06

  That's tough.

• 44:32Speaker 05

  They get like five, six feet tall.

• 44:35Speaker 06

  Calling in those things, that'd be.

• 44:36Speaker 05

  Sweet. Just a whopper.

• 44:39Speaker 06

  I don't know if I've ever heard of a cassowary.

• 44:40Speaker 06

  Where are they? Where are they from?

• 44:41Speaker 05

  I think Australia, like Australia's other islands. Alright, here's a correct answer review so far. One was wildlife, two Arctic char, three rabbit sporting clays, four mermaid's purse, five salt, six Pocahontas, seven Texas, eight Alex Jones, nine cassowary. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 45:02Speaker 06

  As if we needed one. Uh, this might be one of the bigger blowouts in trivia history. We got one question left. I thought you had two wrong, Brody.

• 45:10Speaker 05

  He only has one wrong.

• 45:11Speaker 06

  But Brody has double the score of any other contestant.

• 45:15Speaker 05

  There's one question left. Question 10, the topic is woodsmanship. This last great question is via Mike Sheffer. Pecan, macer nut, pig nut, bitter nut, shellback, and shag bark are all types of this tree.

• 45:33Speaker 05

  If we're doing a fish example, it'd be like blue channel and flathead are all types of this fish, catfish. For this one, it's pecan, macer nut, pig nut, bitter nut, shellback, and shag bark are all types of this tree.

• 45:49Speaker 06

  You ever climbed up a shag bark with a climber? Hmm, not that I know of for sure.

• 45:55Speaker 05

  Better wear protection. Loud.

• 45:57Speaker 06

  I bet.

• 46:00Speaker 05

  Nate, you got this one right?

• 46:01Speaker 06

  I think so.

• 46:02Speaker 05

  Brody, do you have this one right? I'm pretty sure I do. Okay. You know, all those hints that Nate's trying to drop for everyone.

• 46:10Speaker 06

  Oh yeah, it's gonna be real close.

• 46:11Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 46:12Speaker 06

  God forbid.

• 46:13Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says hickory, Sarah, without an answer. Uh, Randall says walnut, and we have Cory saying maple. Nate, hickory, Brody, hickory. The correct answer is hickory.

• 46:29Speaker 06

  Ayo.

• 46:30Speaker 05

  Nate's still vibing.

• 46:31Speaker 06

  Still vibing, baby.

• 46:32Speaker 05

  Most hickories produce a fruit at twig tips in clusters of three to five. These fruits are covered in a hard shell and husk. Hickories have a long taproot that makes them highly drought tolerant. The Forest Service says the states that produce the most hickory lumber are Kentucky, West Virginia, and Louisiana. Alright, that makes Brody our winner today with nine correct answers.

• 46:55Speaker 06

  Listen to that, not a clown. Laugh in the room.

• 46:57Speaker 05

  Just hammered the rest of the room. You could combine Sarah, Randall and Corey and they only would have tied Brody today.

• 47:07Speaker 06

  What?

• 47:08Speaker 05

  Tell you what. Sarah, Randall and Corey.

• 47:10Speaker 06

  Sorry.

• 47:11Speaker 05

  They got nine combined. Well done, Brody. What are you gonna do with that $500 donation?

• 47:15Speaker 06

  We talked about the LAI. Let's throw it in the LAI.

• 47:18Speaker 05

  Okay, more money for the LAI. That auction house is happening right now. Go check it out. Uh, there's things from all dollar amounts available. Plus, we have the punt gun hats, which are just a buy it now thing. So those are first come, first served.
