  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newheart and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Seth, Alex, John, and Sarah. 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 winners choosing. Alright, we're starting today's show with a mailbag question. You can send your mailbag questions to [email protected]. The subject line mailbag, Brady Bockler says, "I'm looking to buy my first boat this year, but I've always heard the saying about how the best day of boat ownership is the day you buy

• 3:19Speaker 03

  it, and the second best day is the day you sell it. Is that true? Are boats that big of a headache?" Seth, do you have any thoughts on...

• 3:26Speaker 04

  No, boats are the best thing you'll ever do in your life.

• 3:29Speaker 03

  Wow, he just had a baby, what, two months ago?

• 3:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's pretty sweet too.

• 3:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, a boat doesn't shit its pants. Boats, baby.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  Listen, there's so much you can do with a boat. And if you, I guess it depends if, if you're like freaking lazy and let it go to shit.

• 3:46Speaker 03

  Hmm, yes.

• 3:47Speaker 04

  But if you take care of it, you'll have the best times of your life on the water.

• 3:51Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 3:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, you'd be doing all kinds of things you weren't able to do without it.

• 3:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  Any other boat owners want to add some perspective for Brady?

• 4:00Speaker 05

  I love my boat. I want another one. I would have two or three if I could. I had two for a while. I bought and sold a boat.

• 4:08Speaker 04

  I think it's necessary to have like three to four boats.

• 4:10Speaker 05

  Yeah. I bought and sold a boat before putting it in the water.

• 4:15Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 4:15Speaker 05

  Just when I bought it on Craigslist.

• 4:17Speaker 03

  You do this with guns too.

• 4:20Speaker 05

  But also, when I started working, it was when...

• 4:22Speaker 03

  It was like right before I moved over here and I was like, oh, just sell that. Yeah. One fewer trip towing something. You don't even like guns and boats. I'm realizing you just like negotiating with strangers. Yeah, there is.

• 4:32Speaker 04

  You just like buying itself.

• 4:33Speaker 03

  There's something exciting about that. Uh, okay, Brady, uh, Brody and Seth tell you get that boat. Uh, don't listen to the folks who say the second best days. And buy it you.

• 4:44Speaker 04

  I wonder what he wants to get. God, I'm dying to know now.

• 4:46Speaker 03

  I'll ask, I'll, uh, check back in with Brady and see if we can, uh, get an answer to that. All right. We have some housekeeping on last week's episode of trivia, the wives episode. The tiebreaker question was about how many stars are in the Big Dipper? The correct answer was seven, but in the overtime excitement, my wife Shelby missed the flavor text, which included a callback that I was very proud of. So I'm going to read that today. All right. Earlier in the episode, they talked about the Lakota lore behind Devil's Tower. According to them, seven sisters climbed a small butte to escape a group of hungry bears. As the bears got close, the earth shook until the tiny hill turned into an enormous tower. The bears continued to climb and slide down backwards, which gave the butte its ribbed appearance.

• 5:28Speaker 03

  Eventually the bears were buried alive by falling rocks and the seven sisters escaped. Now here's the tie in the Lakota say the seven sisters who evaded the bears on Devil's Tower weren't able to get down from the butte. Instead, they rolled birds into the sky and became the seven stars that formed the Big Dipper. Hmm. So now you know, when you're looking up the Big Dipper, those, uh, came.

• 5:49Speaker 05

  You'd tell that story to Virgil.

• 5:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:51Speaker 03

  There you go. That's perfect. On your boat.

• 5:53Speaker 04

  On the boat.

• 5:55Speaker 03

  Best thing that's ever happened to him. 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. Play the drop, Phil.

• 6:07Speaker 06

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 6:22Speaker 03

  Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is fishing, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass?

• 6:43Speaker 03

  One of those is a cool water fish. Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass? Brody, quick to answer.

• 6:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was a pretty easy one, I feel like.

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Okay, easy one. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Black crappie, walleye, brook trout, largemouth bass? Bet Brady won't get this one right, but once he's a boat owner,

• 7:14Speaker 03

  he'll have the knowledge.

• 7:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, I hope he sends in a photo of his boat.

• 7:18Speaker 03

  Okay, maybe his baby too. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says, "Brook trout." Sarah, "Walleye." Randall, "Brook trout." John, "Brook trout." Alex, "Brook trout." Brody, "Walleye." The correct answer is walleye, Brody, and Sarah.

• 7:37Speaker 05

  Brook trout's cold water.

• 7:38Speaker 03

  Got that one right.

• 7:40Speaker 03

  Black crappie and largemouth bass are warm water fish. Brook trout are cold water fish. And walleye are cool water fish. Cool water fish prefer colder water than warm water fish, and warmer water than cold water fish. Other cool water species are northern pike, saugger, and yellow perch. Cool water fish is the in-between between warm and cold. You don't say. Question two. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Thomas Peterson. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects.

• 8:27Speaker 03

  Randall, Sarah, Brody, Seth, Alex, all quick to answer. John is joining them. This may be a 100%er. Sodium Borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects.

• 8:45Speaker 04

  Sort of in the name.

• 8:46Speaker 03

  Okay, there's a hint. John, do you have this one right?

• 8:51Speaker 04

  I think so. I have a five-letter word.

• 8:53Speaker 03

  Our players think they are six for six. Sodium Borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, and Sarah, and Randall, the whole room says Borax. The whole room got that right. It is Borax. B-O-R-A-X. Borax is a white powder that helps preserve the skin of mammals, birds, and fish. It's made synthetically, but also occurs in nature. When seasonal lakes dry and leave a mineral deposit, Borax is commonly used in cleaning products, laundry boosters, hand soaps, and tooth bleaching formulas.

• 9:35Speaker 03

  Brody, are you a Borax user for your homemade European mounts?

• 9:40Speaker 05

  Oh, no, I don't use it on skulls.

• 9:42Speaker 03

  I feel like I hear guys use it on skulls.

• 9:44Speaker 05

  I'm sure they have, but no.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  It's the same thing.

• 9:47Speaker 05

  No bleach, nothing harsh on skulls, man. It just ruins them.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  Hmm, sodium Borate, also known as Borax. Question three. The topic is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball.

• 10:10Speaker 03

  Randall has his answer. Our other five players have blank whiteboards. Again, this is question three. We're flying through them today.

• 10:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 10:19Speaker 03

  Topic is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Seth, do you have this one right?

• 10:33Speaker 04

  Hmm, I, I think so, but hmm, maybe not.

• 10:38Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 10:39Speaker 04

  We ought to fill the time here. Drag this out for more ad rolls.

• 10:42Speaker 03

  Seth, tell us about a bad day of boat ownership. The worst day of boat ownership that you've had.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  Just so we know it's all not cotton candy and rainbows.

• 10:52Speaker 04

  Hmm, trying to think the worst day of boat ownership I've ever had.

• 10:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, you'd like, uh, had a tire fall off your trailer. Motor wouldn't start.

• 11:02Speaker 04

  Ask Brody about tire falling off the trailer.

• 11:05Speaker 03

  Ball bearings go bad or what?

• 11:06Speaker 05

  An hour on, well, I mean, it's

• 11:09Speaker 05

  with the boat Seth had, that Seth no longer has.

• 11:12Speaker 03

  You were going eighty miles an hour? And did it just come off or did you like feel it?

• 11:16Speaker 05

  It blew off.

• 11:17Speaker 03

  Oh, my goodness.

• 11:18Steven Rinella?

  Single axle?

• 11:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:20Speaker 03

  Oh, that's That'd stop you in a hurry.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:23Speaker 03

  Where'd that tire end up going?

• 11:25Speaker 05

  Off in a ditch. I got it back. Actually, it was like the, the damage was minimal.

• 11:31Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:31Speaker 05

  Guys, surprise.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 11:34Speaker 05

  Anyway, you got me. I'm trying to think of this.

• 11:36Speaker 03

  Okay, we gotta leave Brody alone.

• 11:39Speaker 04

  Not a lot of

• 11:40Speaker 05

  When you, how about when you broke down that one?

• 11:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just thought of that. We, we were up in Alaska one time and our motor wouldn't start.

• 11:48Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 11:49Speaker 04

  And I, I look up and I just see a wall of fricking water coming towards us.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  Uh oh.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  And it's getting windy and we're out there in the fricking gray blue ocean.

• 11:58Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:59Speaker 04

  In a seventeen foot skiff, yeah. And I had to call Steve and he had to come tow, tow us back.

• 12:06Speaker 03

  Okay, you got

• 12:06Speaker 04

  Were you there, bro? Did you come? Did you come out with it?

• 12:09Speaker 05

  No. When I broke down on that same trip. In low red, yeah, we got stranded.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  Ooh, bad weekend to be a boat owner.

• 12:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:17Speaker 03

  That's right. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe.

• 12:21Speaker 05

  I can't think of the word.

• 12:22Speaker 03

  Produces a large fruit.

• 12:23Speaker 05

  Forget it.

• 12:24Speaker 03

  That is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Sarah, do you have this one right?

• 12:31Speaker 05

  What is it?

• 12:33Speaker 07

  Probably not.

• 12:33Speaker 03

  No, Alex, do you have this one right? I listed a tribe from Oklahoma. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Osage Orange. Sarah, Seneca, Randall, Osage. John, without an answer. Alex says Comanche, Brody, Persimmon. The correct answer is Osage Orange. I think we'll give it to Randall, right? Yeah.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, you give it to him.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  It was close, though. Osage orange lumber is coveted by woodworkers for furniture, kitchenware, and musical instruments. While ancient humans liked it for making bows, because very few animals take an interest in the fruit, some biologists believe it's an example of anachronism evolution. This idea says that the animal responsible for spreading Osage oranges is now extinct, and that it may have been a favorite food source for mastodons or ground sloths. A similar theory exists for avocados. Here is a picture of it.

• 13:34Speaker 05

  If animals don't like it, why do they call it a horse apple and a monkey ball?

• 13:38Speaker 03

  Well, maybe horses like it, but they're also not, you know, around since the Ice Age.

• 13:43Speaker 05

  I point out, there's horses around the Ice Age. And the Nukem family.

• 13:47Speaker 03

  And the Nukem family. Yeah, for perspective, if you're watching this on YouTube, those Osage oranges are like baseball to softball size. Those are, uh, big old fruits that are made on these trees.

• 13:57Speaker 05

  You can huck those things.

• 13:59Speaker 03

  Question four. The topic is conservation. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats.

• 14:15Speaker 03

  Our players are stumped. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. Seth, did you just come up with the correct answer?

• 14:29Speaker 04

  No, I don't know. First thing, first thing that popped in my head.

• 14:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 14:33Speaker 04

  I don't even know if it's an island nation.

• 14:35Speaker 03

  We are on question four.

• 14:38Speaker 05

  I noticed this during the news show, uh, last week, and I'm looking on the, around the room at like Seth, Randall, and Brody. It was probably a mistake to paint the walls of this room a color that's just a couple of shades off from a very popular first light. That's correct. I'll note I didn't vote for this color.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  What did you vote for?

• 14:56Speaker 05

  I don't remember. It's not this.

• 14:58Speaker 03

  Cal print.

• 14:58Speaker 05

  Remember losing.

• 14:59Speaker 03

  Steve asked for my input, but I didn't feel like he actually wanted my input.

• 15:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's kind of what this.

• 15:03Speaker 03

  He was just hoping that I would say his answer.

• 15:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's where I was.

• 15:08Speaker 03

  This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. Brody, do you have this one right?

• 15:17Speaker 05

  I got an answer that makes sense.

• 15:19Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 15:19Speaker 05

  That's all I can say.

• 15:20Speaker 03

  Two of our players have answers.

• 15:22Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 15:23Speaker 03

  That they feel okay about.

• 15:26Speaker 03

  This is question four.

• 15:28Speaker 05

  Geez, it's tough.

• 15:32Speaker 03

  This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats.

• 15:41Speaker 05

  The gas station cooler is catching me off.

• 15:42Speaker 07

  It's throwing me off.

• 15:43Speaker 03

  Yeah. Okay, you could just throw that out of the question if you'd like.

• 15:47Speaker 05

  That's how I got it.

• 15:49Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 15:49Speaker 05

  If I got it.

• 15:50Speaker 03

  All right. Brody thinks that's an important part of the question.

• 15:55Speaker 05

  Hmm. Yeah, if I got it, that's the only, the only way I got it.

• 16:01Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 16:03Speaker 05

  Hmm. It's not Bush Light. I rolled that out.

• 16:07Speaker 03

  It's not Snapple.

• 16:09Speaker 07

  No.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  The Bush Nation.

• 16:16Speaker 03

  Randall.

• 16:18Speaker 05

  Are you just? Oh, you're dragging this one out. You're waiting on me?

• 16:21Speaker 03

  Well, I'm gonna ask that you either fill the airwaves with something interesting or write down an answer.

• 16:28Speaker 05

  I hosted some trivia this past weekend.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 16:31Speaker 05

  Where at?

• 16:32Speaker 03

  This is a good start. Tell us about that.

• 16:33Speaker 05

  At an ELR match in, in, uh,

• 16:35Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 16:35Speaker 05

  Southeastern Wyoming. Twenty questions.

• 16:37Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 16:38Speaker 05

  We went to a tiebreaker.

• 16:39Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 16:40Speaker 05

  I was thinking about sharing the questions with everybody to see how you guys scored. The two, the two teams that went to the tiebreaker each had, uh, eighteen out of twenty correct.

• 16:49Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 16:50Speaker 05

  So I felt good about that.

• 16:51Speaker 03

  You know what? That's, that's a perfect round of trivia.

• 16:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's what I thought.

• 16:53Speaker 03

  Your top performers.

• 16:54Speaker 05

  Shout out, shout out Jose. Were they, um, all ELR-related questions? They were all ballistics and rifle-related questions. And I had a gentleman come up to me afterwards who had written- A book on ballistics and he said he really enjoyed the trivia and he thought it was well done.

• 17:09Speaker 03

  That's great. Now you can, uh, you've banked some questions for a future episode.

• 17:14Speaker 05

  I don't know. I think we had stuff like.

• 17:16Speaker 03

  Too hard?

• 17:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, like rank these powders by burn rate.

• 17:20Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:21Speaker 05

  Things of that nature.

• 17:22Speaker 03

  Okay. With that little filler content, did you come up with an answer, Randall?

• 17:27Speaker 05

  No.

• 17:28Speaker 03

  This island nation whose name you might see in a gas station cooler is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats.

• 17:34Speaker 05

  Kind of unfair that I have to fill your.

• 17:36Speaker 04

  That's what we're refrigerator, right?

• 17:37Speaker 05

  We've gone.

• 17:38Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says, uh, Fuji, we got there without an answer, Randall without an answer. Brody says Fiji.

• 17:48Speaker 03

  I didn't even think about water. The correct answer is Fiji.

• 17:52Speaker 04

  Is it Fiji?

• 17:53Speaker 03

  F I J I.

• 17:55Speaker 04

  Are we gonna, are we giving it to Seth?

• 17:56Speaker 03

  Or what do we think of giving it to Seth? He wrote down the apple.

• 18:00Speaker 04

  Is it an apple? I don't know.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  We'll give it to him. Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is about two thirds the size of Hawaii. The islands are home to some species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world. And true to its name, Fiji water comes from an aquifer on Fiji's biggest island. If you'd asked me beforehand, like, does Fiji water come from Fiji? I'd be like, not a chance.

• 18:22Speaker 05

  No way.

• 18:23Speaker 03

  But it actually does. So I'm very impressed.

• 18:25Speaker 05

  This wild.

• 18:26Speaker 03

  Question five. The topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Leland Hart. We're sending this great question. Leland is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, send your question to trivia at the meat eater.

• 18:42Speaker 04

  We're gonna have to start paying Leland a salary.

• 18:44Speaker 07

  I've heard that name a lot.

• 18:45Speaker 05

  Leland Hart, that's, he needs an esquire behind this. It's like, it's like that kind of.

• 18:49Speaker 07

  Southern lawyer.

• 18:50Speaker 03

  He was one of our, uh, best attendees to, uh, Media Radio Live, R I P. And he sends me plenty of trivia questions. Here is his listener question of the week. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle.

• 19:08Speaker 03

  We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. An outside skirt steak comes from this five letter muscle.

• 19:19Speaker 03

  Randall playing some hangman, but he doesn't seem to like what he wrote down.

• 19:27Speaker 05

  I got nine letters. I ain't messing around.

• 19:29Speaker 03

  Okay. Fiji water Brody thinks he has it.

• 19:35Speaker 05

  I don't know. I got nine letters.

• 19:37Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 19:39Speaker 03

  An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. Next time I need to buy a bottle of water. I'm gonna get Fiji just to see if I can taste.

• 19:48Speaker 07

  It's pretty good bottled water.

• 19:50Speaker 03

  Are you, are you a purist when it comes to bottled water? Can you like, could we do a Pepsi challenge where you're blindfolded and you drink Dasani versus Smart Water?

• 19:59Speaker 07

  I mean, I could probably tell the difference between good and bad. And I have an idea of what brands are good and which ones are bad.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  Fiji falls on the good side of that spectrum.

• 20:07Speaker 07

  Fiji falls on the good side. Dasani falls on the bad side.

• 20:10Speaker 04

  Amen.

• 20:11Speaker 07

  Pretty, that's terrible water. But I tend to, I don't buy bottled water.

• 20:17Speaker 07

  It's more of a principle thing.

• 20:18Speaker 03

  An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. Phil, do you have bottled water takes?

• 20:23Speaker 04

  Not at all, except that Dasani is bad. That's the one, sort of like Sarah, it's like good and bad. Dasani is the one where I'm like, this is just, this is a tier below, you know?

• 20:32Speaker 07

  Like Ice Mountain is a really good one.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  Hmm. Ice Mountain is the one. Don't they have like nine names depending on where you live in the country? It's like Deer Park if you're in New York and it's Ice Mountain over here.

• 20:41Speaker 07

  Yeah. Up in the Northeast.

• 20:43Speaker 03

  Glacier if you're over here.

• 20:44Speaker 07

  Poland Spring is good. Poland Springs.

• 20:46Speaker 03

  Sarah, do you have this one right?

• 20:48Speaker 07

  Uh, I have a nine letter muscle.

• 20:51Speaker 03

  Outside.

• 20:52Speaker 07

  Geographically makes sense.

• 20:53Speaker 03

  Okay. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle.

• 21:00Speaker 07

  I don't know if cows have this muscle.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  Hmm. Is everybody ready?

• 21:06Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth without an answer. Sarah says Trap, Traprzius? Trapezius. Randall, Quadrisep. John without an answer. Alex without an answer. Brody says diaphragm. Brody got it!

• 21:21Speaker 04

  Ah!

• 21:21Speaker 03

  The correct answer is the diaphragm.

• 21:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, I I I've heard I've heard it called a hanger steak. Oh. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.

• 21:30Speaker 04

  I wrote down diaphragm, but I was like.

• 21:32Speaker 05

  But I don't even know if the two things are the same.

• 21:35Speaker 04

  If you if you listen to, uh, well, by the time this airs, Monday's episode of the Meat Eater Podcast, this is discussed.

• 21:42Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 21:42Speaker 03

  Okay. The skirt steak is also known as the Philadelphia steak or fajita steak. The outside skirt comes from the diaphragm, while the inside skirt comes from the transversus abdominis. It is a flat, tough cut of meat with a thick grain. For more on skirt steaks, go watch Yanni's video on the meat eater dot com called How to Prepare a Venison Skirt Steak.

• 22:05Speaker 05

  What about hanger steak?

• 22:06Speaker 04

  Well, yeah, so that's what that's what we discussed. The hanger steak is known in, uh, it's it's like the legs of the diaphragm. So it's part of that muscle, but it's just kind of like some of the, uh, the outside.

• 22:15Speaker 03

  Good clarity.

• 22:15Speaker 07

  That's an underrated cut.

• 22:17Speaker 03

  Phil, scoreboard update.

• 22:19Speaker 04

  Oh, yes, it's that time, isn't it? Here we are at halftime. Everyone's on the board. John and Alex have one point apiece. Sarah and Randall are up next with two points. Seth has three, and in first place, it's Brody Henderson. He's got four points.

• 22:33Speaker 03

  Oh, you had diaphragm?

• 22:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, I wrote it down.

• 22:35Speaker 05

  I had diaphragm too.

• 22:36Speaker 04

  I was like, that's inside.

• 22:37Speaker 05

  No. I had I had diaphragm too, and I was just thinking, I convinced myself that hanger steak and a skirt steak weren't the same thing.

• 22:44Speaker 07

  Well, they're not.

• 22:45Speaker 03

  So close.

• 22:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:46Speaker 07

  It's just like different.

• 22:47Speaker 05

  So I was right. So I was right.

• 22:49Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 25:59Speaker 03

  Question six, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Micah Greenway. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick.

• 26:16Speaker 03

  Randall, quick to answer this one. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. Phil, can you turn the camera off me real quick?

• 26:29Speaker 04

  Are you serious?

• 26:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm gonna take my hoodie off and I'm gonna pull it over my head. It's probably gonna lift my shirt up.

• 26:34Speaker 04

  It's on Spencer. So Spencer, you make some facial expressions based on what you see.

• 26:38Speaker 03

  I will, I'll observe. Yeah, no skin showed. That is perfectly acceptable.

• 26:44Speaker 05

  Just in case, I just thought, I wanted to be very conservative there.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, we don't want to call any attention to that.

• 26:51Speaker 05

  Lots of chemicals on my clothing today, so I didn't know it'd stick together.

• 26:55Speaker 03

  This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. And Randall is very confident that he has this one right. Alex, do you have this one right?

• 27:08Steven Rinella?

  No.

• 27:10Speaker 05

  I'm coming from behind now, so I'm just, it's not that I'm confident. It's that I'm at ease. It's not a lot of pressure.

• 27:18Speaker 03

  Alex and I have the same uniform on today, black shirt and green first light hat.

• 27:24Speaker 03

  Brody, do you have this one right?

• 27:25Speaker 05

  I don't know. I'll justify my answer.

• 27:28Speaker 03

  Okay, this hunter carried an H and H Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick.

• 27:37Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 27:39Speaker 07

  Go for it.

• 27:39Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answer Seth and Sarah. That an answer Randall says TR John Teddy Roosevelt Alex Teddy Roosevelt Brody Roosevelt. They got it. The correct answer is Teddy Roosevelt.

• 27:53Speaker 05

  Shout out Big John.

• 27:54Speaker 07

  So when they say speak softly and carry a big stick, they're just referring to.

• 27:59Speaker 03

  I'll tell you about the H and H Royal Double Rifle was chambered in 50450. Its nickname was inspired by his big stick diplomacy, which derived from his quote, speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far. TR used the gun on an African safari where he killed dangerous game, including eight elephants. And here is a picture of TR with that big stick and a rhino he killed and a, what are those called buzzards? No, is that what it is?

• 28:29Speaker 05

  No, it's some kind of like.

• 28:31Speaker 03

  Bustard?

• 28:32Speaker 05

  It's like a stort or a current. Yeah, some like long legged. Uh, Randall, you got, how come you haven't gotten into the, the, the double big game rifles? Oh, I'd love to. I mean, that's a, it's not really a working man's rifle.

• 28:48Speaker 05

  Carry that around the mountains for elk? Cabela's used to sell a, a side by, I don't know, they might still, but I remember as a child really wanting a side by side black powder. They called it like the Kodiak Double Express or something and you could get it, I believe you could get it in 72 caliber side by side black powder. It weighed like 20 pounds.

• 29:07Speaker 03

  Oh, but could you imagine? Uh, that bird is, it's a cordy bustard, which is Africa's largest flying bird.

• 29:15Speaker 05

  Oh, you nailed it.

• 29:16Speaker 03

  The bustard on the big stick diplomacy. I think that was about when he was discussing war with other nations that, uh, you come ready to negotiate and you just like are very pragmatic. And if things don't go your way, then you have the big stick that you can swing. Question seven, the topic is wildlife. This 10 letter word is defined as quote, the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.

• 29:52Speaker 03

  This ten-letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.

• 30:05Speaker 03

  Brody locks in his answer. Whiteboard is down.

• 30:10Speaker 03

  Sarah doing some counting. Randall looking at the answer, looking at the question, looking back at the answer. Do you like what you have, Randall?

• 30:18Speaker 05

  No, I have nine letters. Just throw an extra one in there. You've got it right.

• 30:22Speaker 04

  Just put an E at the end.

• 30:24Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 30:27Speaker 03

  This ten-letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.

• 30:41Speaker 03

  The answer is now entered. Randall's brain.

• 30:44Speaker 05

  I just needed a different form of the same word.

• 30:46Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 30:47Speaker 05

  You know, we should have a spelling bee sometime.

• 30:50Speaker 04

  Leave me out.

• 30:52Speaker 04

  I can compete.

• 30:52Speaker 03

  I've discussed this exact thing with Phil on a future concept where we do just a product that is strictly video rather than video and audio and a spelling bee would potentially be part of that.

• 31:05Speaker 07

  So if I have a different form of the word that doesn't have ten letters?

• 31:08Speaker 03

  Not gonna give you any hints. You need to have a ten-letter word. Ten-letter word that means the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.

• 31:22Speaker 05

  You'll get there. I wish it was nine. I feel like it should be nine.

• 31:26Speaker 07

  Should be nine.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  Seth has tapped out on this one.

• 31:29Speaker 05

  Or.

• 31:30Speaker 03

  He's already moved on to the next question.

• 31:33Speaker 07

  Yeah, like twelve.

• 31:33Speaker 04

  I think I was good for about three questions being right and I used all up already.

• 31:38Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  I think I wrote a middle school report on this word. About why it is okay to do.

• 31:46Speaker 03

  Okay. I would like to hear a middle schooler's perspective.

• 31:49Speaker 05

  Way before I ever even understood what it actually was.

• 31:56Speaker 03

  Seth is maybe coming. Did it just hit you, Seth, as to what it could be?

• 32:06Speaker 03

  Is everybody ready?

• 32:07Speaker 04

  I'm one letter too long now.

• 32:09Speaker 03

  Uh oh, okay, no one else had that problem. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says putting down.

• 32:16Speaker 07

  There it is.

• 32:16Speaker 03

  Sarah euthanized Randall euthanasia John euthanized Alex euthanized Brody euthanasia. The correct answer is euthanasia. What do we think about euthanasia? I have ten letters. Past tense. It's not tense. What are we doing here? Well euthanized is tense.

• 32:35Speaker 05

  Are euthanized?

• 32:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:37Speaker 05

  Past tense?

• 32:38Speaker 03

  They did the past tense.

• 32:39Speaker 04

  He was euthanized.

• 32:40Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 32:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, you put it.

• 32:42Speaker 07

  I think, I think we should get it.

• 32:43Speaker 05

  Okay, you have to remind me which people said.

• 32:45Speaker 03

  But then euthanized should also.

• 32:46Speaker 07

  The spirit of the rule, especially.

• 32:48Speaker 03

  Alex and Sarah.

• 32:49Speaker 05

  What's that euthanize?

• 32:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:50Speaker 07

  It's the spirit of the, it's the spirit of the question. We got the spirit of the question.

• 32:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, you know, it's like putting them down.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  It's estimated that about 600,000 shelter animals were euthanized in 2024. As for wildlife, 2022 data shows that 400,000 wild animals were intentionally killed by the USDA that year. That includes 56,000 coyotes, 26,000 beavers, 2,000 foxes, 500 bobcats, 500 black bears, 200 wolves, 200 mountain lions and seven grizzlies.

• 33:22Speaker 04

  Now, hold on there Spencer.

• 33:24Speaker 05

  That's not euthan, they're not killing animals that were hopelessly sick or injured. They're, they're killing vermin.

• 33:31Speaker 03

  Um, I mean, I, I think you could have a different, a different definition of euthanized that just means like simply.

• 33:37Speaker 05

  They euthanizing coyotes, dude.

• 33:40Speaker 07

  Yeah, that's not euthanasia.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  That's not euthanasia. They're like eliminating coyotes because they don't want them around.

• 33:46Speaker 04

  Or they're, they count animals caught in traps.

• 33:48Speaker 07

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 33:49Speaker 03

  All right, I would, I'd accept that, that argument. I feel like it's, it's just like a mercy killing.

• 33:55Speaker 04

  Spencer, I bet you found that somewhere and that's how it was worded.

• 33:58Speaker 07

  The person who told you that.

• 33:59Speaker 03

  We're on to question eight.

• 34:01Speaker 04

  Trust me.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Topic is gear. This next great question is via Charlie McDonald.

• 34:07Speaker 03

  This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in 1969.

• 34:19Speaker 07

  I needed a win. John, you better not put this.

• 34:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, store boy.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 34:23Speaker 04

  Oh, I got this one. I got this one.

• 34:26Speaker 05

  Oh, wait, I just.

• 34:27Speaker 03

  Okay, this brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in nineteen sixty-nine.

• 34:41Speaker 03

  Okay, some quick answers and then some changed answers.

• 34:45Speaker 07

  Well, you're asking about the brand.

• 34:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm unclear on what you're asking for.

• 34:48Speaker 03

  We're looking for the brand.

• 34:50Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 34:50Speaker 03

  This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through.

• 34:56Speaker 04

  So if you put the fabric down, you're wrong.

• 34:58Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 34:58Speaker 03

  Put down the brand that made the fabric.

• 35:03Speaker 05

  Well, it's kind of the same, aren't they?

• 35:05Speaker 04

  Well.

• 35:06Speaker 03

  The brand, well.

• 35:07Speaker 07

  Depends how specific.

• 35:08Speaker 04

  The brand and the company, I think, are two different things.

• 35:11Speaker 03

  This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in nineteen sixty-nine. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Gore, Sarah, W L Gore, Randall, Gore Tex, John.

• 35:30Speaker 04

  It's W L Gore.

• 35:31Speaker 03

  W L Gore, Tex, John, Gore, Alex, Gore Tex, Brody, Gore. Uh, the correct answer is Gore Tex. We'll give you the variations.

• 35:40Speaker 07

  That's not the brand, that's the fabric.

• 35:42Speaker 03

  Uh, Gore Tex is the brand, I believe, and I think they've got like the.

• 35:46Speaker 04

  I thought Gore's the brand.

• 35:47Speaker 05

  I thought Gore's the company. Gore's the company, but it's branded with Gore Tex.

• 35:50Speaker 04

  Oh, man. A lot of dog montages in this one.

• 35:53Speaker 03

  Any, any version of Gore that you said, the W L Gore is the Gore Tex. Gore Tex.

• 35:59Speaker 05

  That stinks. Man, I'm getting tired.

• 36:00Speaker 03

  Gore Tex was created when Bob Gore realized he could stretch P F T E rods to make a micro porous fabric. The first commercial products to use it were tents and jackets. Now you'll find it across the outdoor industry in rain gear, boots and gloves from Adidas to Patagonia.

• 36:18Speaker 05

  It's like if you had a question about Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and someone said Yum Brands.

• 36:23Speaker 03

  Yum Brands, okay.

• 36:24Speaker 05

  Like, I would say Yum Brands is not the brand, even though the name makes it even more confusing now.

• 36:28Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 36:29Speaker 05

  I would say the brand is still Taco Bell.

• 36:31Speaker 03

  Who else rolls up under that conglomerate?

• 36:33Speaker 05

  I think that's just it.

• 36:34Speaker 03

  It's just those three.

• 36:35Speaker 05

  That's why you get this. Well, I don't know if that's still a thing, but it used to. Get sweet like combos.

• 36:40Speaker 03

  Oh, well, sometimes you've got the Taco Bell Pizza Hut. Bozeman here with the A and W Taco Bell.

• 36:46Speaker 05

  I think KFC was a yum brand.

• 36:48Speaker 03

  No, we have A and W KFC. That's.

• 36:50Speaker 05

  Somebody's gonna, somebody's gonna.

• 36:52Speaker 07

  Someone will correct.

• 36:52Speaker 05

  Destroy me in the comments. Long John Silver's too in A and W?

• 36:57Speaker 03

  That sounds familiar. That's not what we have in Bozeman.

• 36:59Speaker 05

  Oh, I love Long John Silver's.

• 37:03Speaker 05

  No, Red Lobster stat.

• 37:06Speaker 03

  We have two questions left, Phil. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 37:09Speaker 04

  Oh, well, it's gonna be tough for anyone to catch Brody. He's currently in first place.

• 37:13Speaker 03

  Oh, I really screwed the pooch.

• 37:15Speaker 04

  He's two points ahead of the second place contestant, Randall Williams, who did come back. He's got five. And then Seth, Sarah, Alex have four points. John has three. I don't even feel good.

• 37:26Speaker 03

  It's honestly the most points I've ever had in trivia.

• 37:28Speaker 07

  I was about to say.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:30Speaker 07

  No offense, but it's a good performance for you.

• 37:32Speaker 03

  Okay, two questions left to topple that high score, Alex. Question nine, the topic is wildlife. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? Brody, finish his answer before I finish the question that's probably locked in his victory. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? Sarah, do you have this one right? Maybe.

• 38:08Speaker 07

  I have an animal that looks like it has a star nose.

• 38:11Speaker 03

  She's, uh, she's playing for second place. See if she can beat Randall.

• 38:17Speaker 03

  Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? And we'll have some story time with Brody after the answer's.

• 38:27Speaker 05

  If I got the answer right.

• 38:29Speaker 02

  Story time with Brody.

• 38:31Speaker 05

  Can we clip that?

• 38:32Speaker 02

  Nah, nah, nah.

• 38:34Speaker 05

  Now, hold on.

• 38:37Speaker 03

  American Ma Day.

• 38:41Speaker 03

  It is one of those back in my. Okay, great. Alex, John, do you boys have an answer?

• 38:47Speaker 05

  Come on, John.

• 38:49Speaker 03

  Storeboys are counting on you. Yeah, well. We've got another store boy.

• 38:55Speaker 05

  You guys sell my bear rug yet? No, but it's hanging in the common area. It's first thing you see when you walk through the door now.

• 39:01Speaker 03

  Oh wow.

• 39:01Speaker 05

  Renovations.

• 39:02Speaker 03

  And the yeah, the next thing you see is that beautiful new three hundred and eighty square feet of floor space.

• 39:08Speaker 05

  That's right.

• 39:08Speaker 03

  I haven't seen the updated story yet.

• 39:10Speaker 05

  If you've been in the meter flagship store since our opening in twenty twenty four. And if you come in now.

• 39:16Speaker 03

  For a brand new look.

• 39:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, come on down and the wall that was uh, the TV was on has been pushed back. We took out that whole back room, which was our back stock. Um, and added another three hundred eighty inch uh, square feet.

• 39:31Speaker 03

  That area where you used to just go smash pizzas and beers with the storeboys.

• 39:35Speaker 05

  That's where they do their smoke breaks at.

• 39:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 39:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, where do we smash beers and pizzas now? Downstairs?

• 39:41Speaker 05

  Okay. Yeah, you could do it downstairs, but it's a little roomier now. He often stopped there on his way home from here.

• 39:47Speaker 03

  He's going there today.

• 39:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 39:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:51Speaker 03

  One more time, star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed. They're all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, mole. Sarah, mole. Randall, mole. Storeboy John without an answer. Applebee's. What is that?

• 40:08Speaker 05

  Says armadillo.

• 40:09Speaker 03

  Alex says armadillo. Brody says mole. The correct answer is mole. Moles are subterranean animals, meaning they spend most of their life underground. Although landscapers and gardeners hate them, they provide soil aeration and eat pests that feed on roots. Some moles have toxic saliva that paralyzes worms, which allows them to store their still living prey for later consumption. Researchers have discovered mole food stashes with more than a thousand worms in them. Wow. We are now looking at the star-faced.

• 40:43Speaker 07

  That is a star-faced.

• 40:44Speaker 03

  The star-nosed mole, which is native to the eastern United States. You look at that thing, you're like, certainly that lives in Asia or South America, but nope, right here in the lower forty-eight.

• 40:54Speaker 05

  When I, when I was in high school and early college, I worked on a golf course lands on the grounds crew.

• 41:00Speaker 03

  You guys especially hate these things.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  Those boys, the uh, The, the ore boys that owned the course, they did not like moles because they would mess up teas and greens real bad. So we had stomp them whenever we saw them. And you would bring them back at the end, you'd bring your mole kill back at the end of the day and they'd hand out bounties. It was a dollar a mole.

• 41:23Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 41:23Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 41:24Speaker 05

  Which when you were making five bucks an hour, you know.

• 41:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, the, the snack bar at the, at the country club in the sixties probably get a lot of the dollar.

• 41:36Speaker 03

  Uh, I imagine they didn't, uh, they weren't able to escape real easy when a boot was coming at them.

• 41:40Speaker 05

  No, no, they're not real fast.

• 41:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay. Do you know what kind of moles, uh, you were, you were killing? Was, did it, it was that? Okay.

• 41:49Speaker 04

  Oh, God. I'm glad you did that. That's a horrifying animal.

• 41:54Speaker 03

  All right, here's the correct answer for you so far. One was walleye. Two, borax. Three, Osage orange. Four, Fiji. Five, diaphragm. Six, Teddy Roosevelt. Seven, euthanasia. Eight, Gore-Tex. Nine, mole. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 42:12Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. Sorry, here you are. You could say Brody's practicing safe sex because he just wrapped it up.

• 42:21Speaker 04

  And he secured the victory. Hey, there's a new one.

• 42:24Speaker 05

  How long have you been sitting on that, Phil?

• 42:26Speaker 04

  I was sitting on it for about 45 seconds. I was really proud of it.

• 42:32Speaker 03

  We were lacking a signature moment for this episode, whatever this is. And they'll just gave it to us. Here's question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Thomas Nethercot. GIS stands for blank, blank, system.

• 42:50Speaker 04

  I always forget this.

• 42:53Speaker 03

  GIS stands for blank, blank, system.

• 42:57Speaker 04

  And this is woodsmanship?

• 42:59Speaker 03

  Woodsmanship. Cause if you got woodsmanship, you don't need this.

• 43:03Speaker 04

  That's why I don't know.

• 43:05Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 43:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, Virgil, he'll learn to navigate by the stars. That's right.

• 43:12Speaker 04

  sights and smells.

• 43:15Speaker 03

  Blank, blank system.

• 43:16Speaker 04

  Just like a star-nosed mole.

• 43:20Speaker 04

  Uncle Randall smell like hot dog. I don't think I smell like hot dogs. I think I smell like lighter fluid.

• 43:26Speaker 05

  Oh, it reeks of hot dog.

• 43:30Speaker 03

  I thought the primary smell in the office today was onions.

• 43:34Speaker 04

  That's because Randall's burping them up.

• 43:36Speaker 07

  No, there was a really good onion onion scene that I witnessed.

• 43:41Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, I did chop.

• 43:42Speaker 07

  Eyes closing.

• 43:42Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 43:43Speaker 04

  I was crying.

• 43:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, a lot of competing odors happening in the office today.

• 43:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think we just cut that just to the onion chopping. That would be the best thing we've done as a company.

• 43:52Speaker 07

  Just keep open flames away from Randall for the next like 12 hours.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  Randall Williams chopping an onion.

• 43:57Speaker 04

  Yeah. Alex, I mean, do you disagree?

• 44:01Speaker 06

  With what?

• 44:03Speaker 04

  How good my onion chopping scene was.

• 44:06Speaker 06

  I still taste them in my mouth.

• 44:10Speaker 03

  We've sent it to the the Emmy.

• 44:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:13Speaker 03

  Coordinators.

• 44:14Speaker 04

  Alex, Alex got a couple of dogs. No one's saying he stinks.

• 44:17Speaker 06

  We've got a real doozy of a hot dog making video coming out next Wednesday.

• 44:21Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, it should be at least 19 to 23 seconds long.

• 44:25Speaker 06

  Very emotional, impactful.

• 44:28Speaker 04

  I set it up greatly. I said. I looked at the camera with my ingredients. I said, I don't think I need to explain what we're doing here. We just proceed to cook.

• 44:38Speaker 03

  We should. We should have done it with like the whose line is it anyway thing where someone has their hands tied behind their back and then the other person stands behind them. And they're the ones who are.

• 44:47Speaker 04

  Let's reshoot the whole thing. Let's reshoot the whole.

• 44:50Speaker 03

  So we're counting on Randall's eyes and then someone else's arms reaching around him to prepare the hot dogs.

• 44:55Speaker 04

  That's actually, that would.

• 44:56Speaker 03

  And then you feed yourself the hot dog as well.

• 44:58Speaker 04

  Phil, let's cut all this out. That's a great idea for content.

• 45:03Speaker 03

  Phil, that that always came at the end of the show, right? I imagine you love.

• 45:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, once they, once they smear whipped cream and peanut butter all over each other, they had kind of had to end the show.

• 45:10Speaker 03

  It'll take that idea down to the big content firm.

• 45:13Speaker 04

  Furnace and shovel it in there and keep the, keep the cold going.

• 45:17Speaker 03

  GIS stands for blank blank system. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

• 45:24Speaker 04

  I don't know.

• 45:25Speaker 03

  Virgil's dad says geographical blank system. Sarah, global information. Randall, geo, what's that say? Geospatial information? John, geographic image. I think you're right. Alex, global imperial. Brody, global information. The correct answer is geographic information. Did anybody have that right?

• 45:50Speaker 04

  I had image.

• 45:51Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh, okay. Uh, nobody.

• 45:54Speaker 04

  What a bummer of an episode.

• 45:55Speaker 03

  A zero percenter that we had.

• 45:57Speaker 04

  Shut it down, Phil. Go ahead and shut it down.

• 46:00Speaker 03

  GIS is a computer system that captures, stores and displays geographic information. It allows users to create interactive maps to analyze patterns and solve complex location-based issues. While some use it to find the best path for a road, others use it to look for wallows for rutting elk. That makes Brody our winner today with eight correct answers. Brody, what are you gonna do with that $500 donation?

• 46:26Speaker 05

  Nobody ever claps when I win.

• 46:27Speaker 03

  I just clapped.

• 46:28Speaker 04

  They just did a half-hearted clap. What more do you want?

• 46:32Speaker 05

  Um, I just, did you guys get Montana Outdoors Magazine, the one at FWP?

• 46:38Speaker 03

  Hmm, I have some years. I don't think I have it right now.

• 46:41Speaker 05

  You should get, if, uh, most state, uh, agencies have a magazine like that. Anyway, I just got the new one recently and there's an article, article in there about, um, cottonwoods. And like disappearing, like cottonwood habitats kind of disappearing. Um, in Montana in places and, uh, long story short, I'm gonna donate the money to Friends of the Missouri River Brakes because they're doing some cottonwood restoration stuff along the Missouri River.

• 47:11Speaker 03

  That's great. This part of the world likes to have cottonwoods. We had, uh, the Tree Champion episode on Meat Eater Radio one day and they have a record-breaking cottonwood, the biggest one in the world in Nebraska, and I think there's a different species of cottonwood here in Montana that's, uh, holds the champion tree. Brody sending, donating to Friends of the Missouri Brakes, is that right?

• 47:30Speaker 05

  Missouri River Brakes.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show. Conservation always wins.

A thing we do in our, in our little fleet of vehicles that I have at my household, if you go look, open the door on any one of them, they all got WeatherTech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in WeatherTech. Cause that way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being good as new. I'm telling you, if you've got a vehicle, put WeatherTech in there, you're gonna be happy you did it. And check this out, American made floor liners and cargo liners, okay? They laugh in the face of all weather. Go take a look for yourself today at weathertech.com.
