3:03 Speaker 02 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 Randall, Brody, Corey, Logan, Tressa, and Max. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the overtime drought that we're currently in. We haven't had a game go to overtime since December 4th, meaning we're on an 11 week overtime drought. This breaks our previous record of 10 straight weeks without overtime. That's serious stuff.
3:45 Speaker 02 It's been a while. The last time we actually went to overtime, the question was how many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups?
3:52 Speaker 03 I think I got that right.
3:53 Speaker 02 What was the answer, Brody? Do you still know it?
3:55 Speaker 03 Forty-eight?
3:56 Speaker 02 It was 60, but you got it dead nuts that day. We had an $1,100 donation because we went to overtime with Randall and Brody having perfect games. And then you got the overtime question exactly. Oh.
4:08 Speaker 03 How did you like calculate that? What was your logic? Mine like this. I think it comes out to, is it three per?
4:15 Speaker 02 I don't remember.
4:16 Speaker 04 There's three teaspoons and a tablespoon. And I don't remember how many tablespoons.
4:22 Speaker 02 Your kid sure likes measuring stuff at home in the kitchen. So you said they gave you a big advantage. And it did.
4:27 Speaker 03 Oh yeah. He just made me a nice loaf of banana pecan bread last night. Shit's great.
4:37 Speaker 02 So 11 straight weeks with no overtime. All right, here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. John Schlesinger says, "What kind of PhD does Dr. Randall have? And more importantly, where can we read his dissertation?" He'll tell you.
5:02 Speaker 00 I find it hard to believe that that's an infrequently asked question.
5:05 Speaker 02 It is.
5:06 Speaker 03 Does PhD mean professional hunting degree?
5:09 Speaker 00 That would be nice. That would be nice. Steve has another acronym that he likes to do.
5:14 Speaker 02 What is it? Can't say it?
5:16 Speaker 00 Pretty huge.
5:18 Speaker 02 Okay. Fill in the blank.
5:21 Speaker 00 No, I have a PhD in history from the University of Montana. I earned that in 2015. And if you'd like to read the dissertation, you'll need to contact the University of Montana Library because it's not publicly available. I have
5:40 Speaker 02 We could publish it on our website. How about that, Rand?
5:42 Speaker 00 I have vague aspirations at some point of reworking it into something that would be for popular consumption.
5:49 Speaker 03 You can actually see Randall and right after, it's probably right after you got your PhD
5:56 Speaker 00 Yeah.
5:56 Speaker 03 On Stars in the Sky.
5:58 Speaker 00 Oh, no, that was, that was
6:00 Speaker 03 Is that prior to your PhD?
6:02 Speaker 00 No, that was like a year or two afterwards. But I did do a Meaditor podcast, like episode 12 or something. Right af- probably a month after I finished.
6:13 Speaker 02 Okay, fresh doctor.
6:14 Speaker 00 Yeah, one of the first, very first Meaditor episodes.
6:18 Speaker 02 But what was your dissertation about?
6:21 Speaker 00 Uh, hunting in American politics and culture in the 20th century.
6:26 Speaker 05 Yeah, he talked about it last night in the live tour.
6:29 Speaker 03 You should do an addendum to that for the 21st century.
6:32 Speaker 02 There you go.
6:33 Speaker 03 Lots changed.
6:33 Speaker 00 Oh.
6:34 Speaker 02 A lot has changed. What's above a doctor? A double doctor?
6:37 Speaker 00 No.
6:38 Speaker 02 What can you do? A good doctor?
6:39 Speaker 00 I mean
6:41 Speaker 02 Great doctor.
6:41 Speaker 00 I don't think there's anything better than a PhD, Spencer.
6:45 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
6:45 Speaker 00 But yeah, I mean, advanced, uh, advanced degrees in humanities, just a ticket to
6:52 Speaker 02 Okay.
6:52 Speaker 00 a lucrative and fulfilling life.
6:54 Speaker 04 Brody, you're disrupting the camera shot right now. Do you want to move your hand?
6:57 Speaker 00 And that's, that's my camera, too.
6:59 Speaker 04 Yes, you're covering Randall perfectly.
7:02 Speaker 00 Heavens.
7:03 Speaker 02 That is an IFAQ from our trivia question goat, John Schlesinger. Uh, him and Leland Hart send me more questions than, uh, probably every other listener combined.
7:12 Speaker 04 Leland Hart's, uh, he tunes in every week for Radio Live as well.
7:15 Speaker 02 Thank you, John. Thank you, Leland. All right.
7:18 Speaker 00 Love you guys.
7:19 Speaker 02 We have some housekeeping. The long awaited Meat Eater Tournament is on the horizon. We expect to have the three-episode tournament out between the end of February and the beginning of March, where we'll crown a 2024 Meat Eater Trivia Champion. So, coming soon.
7:35 Speaker 00 Oh, that's exciting.
7:37 Speaker 02 It's, it's like, it's, it's weird that it's, you know, obviously happening in March the year after. It's, we'll act like it's like, um, you know, the NBA Finals during COVID, where they had to like push it back a few months.
7:47 Speaker 04 Postpone it.
7:48 Speaker 00 It would be fun to go into a bubble.
7:51 Speaker 02 The trivia bubble.
7:52 Speaker 00 With the gang.
7:53 Speaker 02 Uh huh, Disney.
7:54 Speaker 00 Yeah.
7:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
7:55 Speaker 00 Good bass fishing.
7:56 Speaker 02 Yeah. So that, that is coming soon. All right. The Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
8:11 Speaker 06 I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?
8:16 Speaker 07 Just tend to win everything.
8:24 Speaker 03 Before we start, Spencer, I was thinking for that, for that, uh, for that tournament, you know how, um, for like football games, they do like the little player profiles where the dudes come out and like do a little dance or like go like that with the football?
8:39 Speaker 02 Right.
8:40 Speaker 03 You and Phil should do some of those for the tournament.
8:42 Speaker 02 Okay, some, some B-roll of you guys looking all smart. Yeah, we could pull that off. All right, question one. The topic is ecology and this will be multiple choice. Which state is not included in the Corn Belt according to the USDA? Is it Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, or South Dakota?
9:07 Speaker 02 Three of those states are part of the Corn Belt, one is not. Is it Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, or South Dakota? Max wasn't supposed to play trivia today, and when he found out that he was, he says, "Well, then you ought to throw me a bone." And I had this question written before Max was going to show up, but he's lived in Minnesota, he's lived in South Dakota. Uh, question one is firmly a bone. I haven't lived in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana. I assumed you spent some time in Minnesota.
9:37 Speaker 04 But your grandma's place is in, uh...
9:39 Speaker 02 Right on the Red River.
9:40 Speaker 04 Yeah, I knew that.
9:41 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:41 Speaker 04 Could this be a bet from the game you won trivia?
9:44 Speaker 02 There you go.
9:44 Speaker 05 I wonder if this is a bone for anybody from Ohio.
9:47 Speaker 02 Yeah, is there anyone from Ohio here? I don't know.
9:50 Speaker 04 Logan must be you. I guess we'll never know.
9:52 Speaker 05 Nope.
9:53 Speaker 02 Which state is not...
9:54 Speaker 03 There's a lot of corn in Ohio.
9:55 Speaker 02 Included in the Corn Belt. Just so you know. According to the USDA, Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, or South Dakota. Is everybody ready?
10:07 Speaker 03 No, are we?
10:09 Speaker 02 Max was quick to answer. You feel good about your answer, Max? Yeah. How about you, Randy? Brody, let me see your answer.
10:14 Speaker 04 I actually don't feel great about my answer.
10:16 Speaker 05 Hmm, that's a good question.
10:17 Speaker 02 Again, three of these states are part of what the USDA defines as the Corn Belt. One of them is not: Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, South Dakota. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying Nebraska. Cory says Ohio. Randall says Ohio. Logan says Minnesota. Max says Ohio. Brody crossed out Minnesota and wrote down South Dakota. So we have every answer, I think, represented in here today. We got one correct answer. The correct answer is South Dakota. Brody, what? Only Brody. How? Got that one.
10:56 Speaker 04 I don't know if you guys caught this, but, but Max made a funny little joke and asked to see Brody's answer, which is normally what Brody does to Max. And then after, after Brody showed Max his answer...
11:06 Speaker 02 Switches it.
11:07 Speaker 04 I don't know what face Max made, but Brody, you changed your answer after that.
11:10 Speaker 02 But I didn't think he was gonna write down South Dakota. In 2006, the USDA declared the Corn Belt to be a six-state region consisting of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Ohio. Encyclopedia Britannica disagrees slightly, saying Ohio isn't in the Corn Belt, but Kansas is. Neither place includes South Dakota in the Corn Belt, though.
11:34 Speaker 00 I was thinking of the encyclopedia Britannica.
11:37 Speaker 02 You knew that definition.
11:38 Speaker 08 Well, isn't the states like?
11:41 Speaker 03 What are we?
11:41 Speaker 08 South Dakota?
11:42 Speaker 03 What are we doing?
11:43 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's not much of a belt.
11:44 Speaker 02 That's where South Dakota is.
11:45 Speaker 08 Yeah, South Dakota's right here. Ohio's way.
11:48 Speaker 02 Way over there.
11:49 Speaker 08 Over here.
11:50 Speaker 02 It's, it's like a contiguous region, the corn belt that they define. And then I, I was like.
11:55 Speaker 08 I'm like.
11:55 Speaker 02 I was also surprised about their definition, so I looked at like what states produce the most corn. And Minnesota actually produces twice as much corn as South Dakota. So, South Dakota not part of the corn belt.
12:06 Speaker 08 Wow, if I was putting money on that, I would not put money on South Dakota.
12:09 Speaker 02 Question two.
12:11 Speaker 03 That's why you got the question wrong.
12:12 Speaker 08 Yep.
12:12 Speaker 05 South Dakota has the corn palace.
12:14 Speaker 08 I know.
12:15 Speaker 00 Yeah, that's what's so counterintuitive.
12:16 Speaker 02 That's, that's, that's like in the middle of the corn belt of South Dakota, though. You start getting west of there and you lose all that darn corn.
12:23 Speaker 08 You do, it's east river and west river, but still.
12:27 Speaker 02 Question two. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Jacob Arnold.
12:32 Speaker 03 There goes my bone.
12:37 Speaker 02 Merriam-Webster defines this seven-letter word as quote, "A water passage where the tide meets a river current."
12:47 Speaker 02 Randall and Brody already have their answers. Merriam-Webster defines this seven-letter word as "A water passage where the tide meets a river current."
13:00 Speaker 02 This is question two.
13:02 Speaker 03 If there's another seven-letter word, I'm not gonna think about it.
13:06 Speaker 02 Brody, how'd you end up choosing South Dakota for not being part of the corn?
13:09 Speaker 03 Honestly, man, it's all based on driving across the country.
13:13 Speaker 02 Okay.
13:14 Speaker 03 Like, that's, like, yeah, I don't remember seeing a whole lot of corn in South Dakota.
13:19 Speaker 02 Corn.
13:21 Speaker 02 Merriam-Webster defines this seven-letter word as "A water passage where the tide meets a river current."
13:29 Speaker 00 Yeah, I remember, I remember seeing a lot of corn growing up, you know?
13:33 Speaker 02 In Ohio.
13:34 Speaker 00 Obviously, like, I can visualize that, but I just never thought of being included in the corn belt. Perhaps I underappreciated our contribution to the, to the nation.
13:44 Speaker 02 I'd say Ohio has some of the best corn because they also have a lot of timber. And it's, uh, like, I think I've said this before about Ohio, but they've got this, the right amount of rolling hills to make that.
13:54 Speaker 00 Yeah, I appreciate that.
13:55 Speaker 02 Nice topography for hunting whitetail deer.
13:57 Speaker 00 Yeah.
13:59 Speaker 02 Merriam Webster defines this seven-letter word as a water passage where the tide meets a river current. Anyone besides Brody and Randall confident?
14:07 Speaker 03 No. I didn't say I was confident.
14:09 Speaker 02 Okay, but you have an answer that's seven letters.
14:11 Speaker 03 He's got it, come on. He's just playing coy.
14:17 Speaker 03 You never know.
14:18 Speaker 02 Do our other players.
14:19 Speaker 05 Didn't you have a similar question to this?
14:21 Speaker 02 Um, well, I do a lot of things where I say.
14:24 Speaker 03 I know what you're talking about.
14:25 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:25 Speaker 05 Wasn't it like a seven-letter and it was?
14:27 Speaker 03 It was where two rivers, it was where two rivers meet and there was a Greek letter?
14:31 Speaker 02 Yeah, delta. Oh, that was delta.
14:33 Speaker 03 Yeah. So it's not delta.
14:34 Speaker 05 Oh, okay.
14:35 Speaker 02 That was from a Gibroni episode recently. Yeah, sure.
14:39 Speaker 08 No, that's saltwater.
14:43 Speaker 02 Brody got a good chuckle from watching Max.
14:45 Speaker 08 I wasn't even done with my word and you started chuckling.
14:49 Speaker 02 All right, does everyone else give up?
14:50 Speaker 03 See, there's different ways to go about this. There's like thinking of the right word or starting with seven letters and being like.
14:56 Speaker 08 Oh, yeah, feeling like.
14:58 Speaker 02 Okay.
14:59 Speaker 08 Well, I'm just making sure my answer has seven letters.
15:02 Speaker 02 Maxwell, do you give up? Uh, yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying whirlpool. Corey says estuary. Randall says estuary. Logan says causeway. Max without an answer. Brody says estuary. The correct answer is estuary. Estuaries are some of the most productive environments on earth based on how much organic matter they produce. They also are enormous economic drivers through recreation and shipping. Some notable estuaries are Chesapeake Bay, San Francisco Bay, and the Hudson Bay. Question three, the topic is natural history.
15:44 Speaker 02 This dog breed, which is named after a monk, was bred to rescue avalanche victims in the Swiss Alps.
15:53 Speaker 02 This dog breed, which is named after a monk, was bred to rescue avalanche victims in the Swiss Alps. Brody and Randall already have their whiteboards down with an answer that they seem to like. Corey has now joined them. Corey, do you have this one right?
16:10 Speaker 05 I believe so. Gotta add to it.
16:12 Speaker 02 Corey came up with estuary on our last question. He didn't seem to like his answer very much.
16:16 Speaker 05 That was the same answer I had in that Greek.
16:19 Speaker 02 Oh, the Delta.
16:20 Speaker 05 Where the answer was Delta, I said estuary.
16:22 Speaker 00 Oh, so we gave you a hint? Try, try again.
16:23 Speaker 05 No.
16:24 Speaker 00 Okay.
16:25 Speaker 05 I was very nervous though. It was like, shoot twice, aim once.
16:29 Speaker 03 Strong answer, Max. Wrong? Strong answer. Strong.
16:32 Speaker 02 Strong answer. Brody likes Max's answer.
16:34 Speaker 05 You know, I wrote down.
16:37 Speaker 02 Again, the topic is natural history. This dog breed, which is named after a monk, was bred to rescue avalanche victims in the Swiss Alps.
16:49 Speaker 02 Logan, do you have an answer?
16:50 Speaker 05 That's not the answer.
16:51 Speaker 02 I do, but I know it's wrong. I'm trying to think of a better one. Tressa, do you have an answer?
16:55 Speaker 08 Same.
16:56 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying Husky. Corey says Bernie's Mountain Dog. Randall says Saint Bernard. Logan says Buddha.
17:08 Speaker 05 Hey.
17:08 Speaker 02 Max and Brody say Saint Bernard. They got it. The correct answer is the Saint Bernard. It's believed that Saint Bernards are the descendants of Roman war dogs. The breed was shaped by monks in the Swiss Alps to go on search and rescue missions and guard property. It was common for the dogs to work in teams of two. Once they found a victim, one dog would stay with the person to provide them with warmth, and the other dog would go get help. One Saint Bernard, Barry, saved 40 human lives between the years 1800 and 1812.
17:40 Speaker 03 You're not gonna get, I thought you'd have a little flavor text on the little.
17:44 Speaker 02 The barrel?
17:45 Speaker 03 Little jug of booze they carried around.
17:46 Speaker 02 That wasn't true. I saw something that said that that wasn't the case. They weren't carrying around little barrels of whiskey.
17:52 Speaker 00 That's no fun.
17:52 Speaker 02 I'm sure some Saint Bernards have at some point, but that wasn't, uh, that wasn't like their thing. You guys remember the Big Dogs brand of shirts?
17:59 Speaker 00 Yeah.
18:00 Speaker 03 Oh, that's one of my favorite cultural artifacts.
18:03 Speaker 02 Those are everywhere.
18:04 Speaker 00 It's a Big Dogs world? Big Dog Fire Department?
18:09 Speaker 02 Did you own some of those, Randall?
18:10 Speaker 00 No, but there is a Big Dog Outlet.
18:12 Speaker 02 Oh.
18:13 Speaker 00 Yeah, there's a Big Dog Outlet. Trying to remember. There was one in Spokane. There was one in Gresham, Oregon, that I would. Yeah. I had a buddy who just had all these Big Dog shirts.
18:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, those were cool and then incredibly uncool. And I bet like Gen Z and what's below, it's a Gen Alpha? I bet they would love Big Dog.
18:33 Speaker 00 Oh, yeah.
18:34 Speaker 02 Stuff right now. That'd be pretty sweet.
18:36 Speaker 00 Didn't know I was gonna think about Big Dog brand today. I didn't either.
18:39 Speaker 02 What a treat. Question four. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Kale Carlin. What lake is Isle Royale National Park located in?
18:53 Speaker 02 What lake is Isle Royale National Park located in?
19:00 Speaker 02 Randall, very quick to answer.
19:03 Speaker 00 Been there.
19:04 Speaker 02 You have?
19:05 Speaker 00 Spent some time on this lake.
19:06 Speaker 02 Okay, there's a hint.
19:08 Speaker 00 Getting there.
19:08 Speaker 02 You know Randall's travels.
19:12 Speaker 02 What lake is Isle Royale National Park located in? We've got Cory searching the room, looking for a piece of art or map.
19:22 Speaker 00 Yeah, I need a map.
19:23 Speaker 02 That might help him.
19:25 Speaker 02 Are you finding anything?
19:26 Speaker 05 No, nothing. This Nebraska map always throws me off.
19:29 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm. Oh, you could have seen that they're part of the Corn Belt if you looked at that closely, I imagine. They got a big, there's a John Deere logo on there. You'd have to.
19:37 Speaker 05 Oh, that's the big giveaway.
19:38 Speaker 02 Then you'd know that, hey, that state's part of the Corn Belt.
19:43 Speaker 02 What lake is Isle Royale National Park located in? Brody, how do you feel about your answer?
19:49 Speaker 03 Man, I think I'm in danger of a slip up here.
19:51 Speaker 02 Okay.
19:52 Speaker 00 That's exciting.
19:54 Speaker 02 Is everybody ready?
19:56 Speaker 08 You know what I was thinking about? My Family Feud. No, my Family Feud episode, does that count as a trivia one?
20:03 Speaker 02 Sure, Max.
20:03 Speaker 08 Sweet, I can do that.
20:05 Speaker 02 Actually, yeah, well, you each have to divide it by how many people were on your team.
20:08 Speaker 08 Four.
20:09 Speaker 02 Four, so you got one and a quarter wins then.
20:11 Speaker 08 They're the most.
20:13 Speaker 02 Maybe someone from your team would donate their other, like, quarter to you though.
20:17 Speaker 08 Maybe Yanni will.
20:18 Speaker 02 Does everyone have an answer for question four?
20:24 Speaker 02 Max.
20:25 Speaker 00 You were thinking about family.
20:26 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa. Corey saying Michigan. Randall says Superior. Logan says Michigan. Max says Erie. Brody crossed out Huron and wrote down Superior. The correct answer is Lake Superior. Located about 20 miles off the shore of Minnesota, Isle Royale is one of the least visited national parks in America. The only way to get there is via plane, boat, or ferry. I already have a ferry reservation for this June when I'll plan to visit the park for the first time.
21:01 Speaker 00 Lovely.
21:01 Speaker 02 When did you go?
21:02 Speaker 08 I should have got that one.
21:03 Speaker 00 Uh, when I was in high school.
21:06 Speaker 02 Did you take the ferry there?
21:08 Speaker 00 We came from the Minnesota side on a boat. Uh, it was a very rough. It was one of the roughest boat rides I've been on.
21:16 Speaker 02 Oh, just like a civilian's boat or you guys took a ferry?
21:20 Speaker 00 No, it's, well, I wouldn't call it a ferry.
21:23 Speaker 02 Like a tour boat?
21:24 Speaker 00 Yeah, it was kind of a tour boat. It was probably, it had like an interior cabin with seating for 40 people, maybe.
21:30 Speaker 02 Yep.
21:30 Speaker 00 Um, and then we backpacked from the east side of the island to the west side of the island.
21:36 Speaker 02 What, what's your review of it?
21:37 Speaker 00 Oh, super cool. Saw a lot of moose. Uh, I wish I had fished. I didn't bring, I didn't bring, uh, fishing equipment. The, the problem with that trip was that, uh, I had a one man tent and my brother had a one man tent. My parents had a two man tent and my brother forgot his tent poles.
21:55 Speaker 00 Uh, so.
21:55 Speaker 08 He's bunking with you.
21:56 Speaker 00 So we had a three, three men tent.
22:00 Speaker 02 Sure.
22:00 Speaker 00 Combined for four people. So, yeah, one of those, one of those fun trips.
22:05 Speaker 02 The bad reviews I've read about Isle Royale is just a hellacious amount of mosquitoes.
22:09 Speaker 00 Yes.
22:09 Speaker 02 So I'm, I'm preparing myself for that.
22:12 Speaker 08 Do you go from Duluth or Grand Marais?
22:15 Speaker 00 I think.
22:15 Speaker 08 Or neither?
22:16 Speaker 00 Well, I think we went from Grand Marais.
22:17 Speaker 08 Okay.
22:18 Speaker 00 Yeah.
22:19 Speaker 02 Question five. The topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jennifer Silverberg. For sending this great question, Jennifer is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected] . What state produces 99% of America's stone crab harvest?
22:45 Speaker 02 What state produces 99% of America's stone crab harvest? Brody, very quick to answer. The rest of our players have not yet put marker to whiteboard.
22:58 Speaker 02 Brody, you know this with certainty.
23:01 Speaker 03 You know.
23:04 Speaker 03 I, I'm 99%.
23:07 Speaker 02 Okay, 99% sure that he knows where 99% of America's stone crab harvest comes from. I think there's two different names for this crab.
23:17 Speaker 08 Hmm, okay. I've never heard of a stone crab.
23:19 Speaker 02 Something else.
23:23 Speaker 00 Brody's just staring lasers.
23:26 Speaker 03 I mean, maybe I'm learning something. I don't know yet.
23:31 Speaker 02 Could be wrong. Question five. It's cooking. After this, we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil. What state produces 99% of America's stone crab harvest? I don't know, we could call it fishing if you'd like, if that makes you feel better.
23:46 Speaker 08 Crabbing.
23:46 Speaker 02 Crabbing. Topic is crabbing. I know, that's a blue crab.
23:51 Speaker 08 Yeah. I can answer that one.
23:56 Speaker 00 I just don't know my crabs.
23:59 Speaker 02 How do you feel by your answer, Randall?
24:00 Speaker 00 I don't feel great, Spencer.
24:02 Speaker 02 If you got to name five states, do you think you'd be guaranteed to get it then?
24:05 Speaker 00 Yeah.
24:06 Speaker 02 Okay.
24:06 Speaker 00 I mean, how many states touch the ocean?
24:10 Speaker 02 Is everybody ready?
24:11 Speaker 08 Truth.
24:13 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa Sang, Washington. Corey says Alaska. He crossed out Maine. Randall says Alaska. Logan says New Jersey. Max says Alaska. Brody says Florida. The correct answer is Florida. Only Brody got that one right. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the stone crab market is one of the state's five biggest fisheries. Everglades City is the hub, claiming to be the stone crab capital of the world. Stone crab flavor has been described as being similar to lobster with a slightly sweeter taste.
24:54 Speaker 03 Those are the ones where they're only allowed to pop the claw.
24:57 Speaker 02 Yeah, and I think they like, it's like almost catch and release with those things. Have you caught stone crabs before?
25:02 Speaker 03 I've eaten them down there. I haven't caught any.
25:04 Speaker 02 What's your review of stone crab meat?
25:06 Speaker 03 They're very good. It's real good. It's not as good, like, I don't think it's as good as Dungeness, but it's good.
25:11 Speaker 02 Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. I was wrong, Brody. Give us the scoreboard update.
25:15 Speaker 03 Oh.
25:18 Speaker 04 It's looking rough out there, guys. What just happened? I'm sorry.
25:22 Speaker 00 Sorry, I just knocked a whiteboard off the thing here.
25:24 Speaker 04 Oh, that's fine.
25:25 Speaker 00 Lost all control.
25:27 Speaker 04 Tressa and Logan are not on the board yet with zero points. Cory and Max have one point apiece. We're not scum. Randall has three and Brody is up by two at halftime with a perfect game. It's hard to see a reality where anyone catches up, but stranger things have happened.
25:44 Speaker 03 Randall came back and beat me last week. Or a few days ago, didn't he?
25:48 Speaker 00 No, he's talking about like one of us.
25:51 Speaker 04 Yeah, he's not worried.
25:52 Speaker 00 I think Phil was insinuating that I can't catch up.
25:55 Speaker 03 That's what I said.
25:55 Speaker 04 I definitely was.
25:58 Speaker 00 I was gonna, I had a feeling on that last one that it was coming from the Atlantic and I was thinking Florida, but I just didn't have enough courage of conviction to go with Florida.
26:09 Speaker 02 Looking unlikely that we'll have overtime again this week.
26:12 Speaker 00 If he, if he put two points on me in the first five, why can't I put two on him in the second?
26:17 Speaker 03 That's true.
26:18 Speaker 02 Well, you're gonna like question six. Question six, the topic is mountain men. Oh. There you go.
26:30 Steven Rinella? I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you got WeatherTech, you're gonna be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean and they'll get years and years of use out of a set.

28:44 Steven Rinella? A few weeks into hunting season, you usually have a pretty good idea of what gear is working and what you wish you had. That's where Tractor Supply comes in. Maybe you need another trail camera for a spot that's heating up, warmer layers for a cold front rolling in, or a cooler for when everything finally comes together. Whatever the season throws at you, Tractor Supply has the gear to keep you in the woods. Stop by your local Tractor Supply or shop tractorsupply.com.
29:15 Speaker 02 There's one. Feed me, baby. This state's capital is named after mountain man Kit Carson. Good God. So you tell me the state, not the capital. This state's capital is named after mountain man Kit Carson. Corey, you have this one right? Yeah. Randall also looks confident. Brody had a quick answer, but now... I do, I'm just like... He's doing whiteboard osmosis where he's got it pressed against his temple.
29:48 Speaker 02 This state's capital is named after mountain man Kit Carson.
29:52 Speaker 03 I'll make it interesting. Maybe I'll get it wrong.
29:55 Speaker 02 Alright.
29:56 Speaker 03 Hmm.
30:01 Speaker 02 Did you talk about Kit Carson in the recent audiobook?
30:05 Speaker 00 A little bit.
30:06 Speaker 02 What do we have to say about Kit Carson without giving it away?
30:10 Speaker 00 Uh, he ran away from an apprenticeship as a saddle maker.
30:14 Speaker 02 Oh, did that get him in trouble?
30:16 Speaker 00 Uh, I don't know that anything came of it, but it's a no-no.
30:20 Speaker 02 Hmm.
30:20 Speaker 00 It's a no-no.
30:23 Speaker 02 This state's capital is named after mountain man Kit Carson.
30:29 Speaker 00 We also have an anecdote of a field amputation conducted in a little party that Kit Carson was traveling with.
30:37 Speaker 02 Oh.
30:38 Speaker 00 Yep.
30:40 Speaker 02 Is everybody ready?
30:41 Speaker 00 It's one of multiple field amputations covered in Meteor American History.
30:45 Speaker 02 It's either the state he's from or the state he spent most time in. I don't remember if it was Kit Carson, but I previously had a trivia question about a mountain man's last quote. And it may have been Kit Carson on his deathbed. He said something like, "I wish I just had time for one last bowl of chili."
30:58 Speaker 03 That's, I think that's supposed to be Kit Carson. I don't know if it's tr- I remember Steve talking about that.
31:04 Speaker 02 Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa and Cory and Randall saying Nevada. Logan says Nebraska. Max says Idaho. Brody says Nevada. The correct answer is Nevada. Reno.
31:22 Speaker 03 Nevada, Nebraska, same thing, right?
31:24 Speaker 02 Carson City. Carson City. There it is. See, that's what I wouldn't have got it.
31:28 Speaker 03 I was gonna write down Idaho. I was like, Boise, there's no, there's no way.
31:32 Speaker 02 Reno. John Fremont named the Carson River after Kit Carson, who was a scout for Fremont's expedition through the area. The city's population boomed when gold was discovered nearby in the 1850s, but slowed down after the mines dried up. Carson City has 58,000 people, making it the third smallest state capital after Pierce, South Dakota and Juneau, Alaska.
31:56 Speaker 03 How much, uh, how much time does Shelby have to answer these questions?
32:00 Speaker 02 Um, if, if she doesn't know it, she moves on pretty quickly. Uh, so we wrap up a trivia test run in probably five minutes. It goes quick. Question seven. The topic is conservation. North America's most common rat is named after what Nordic country?
32:20 Speaker 08 What?
32:21 Speaker 02 Max, you should know this. Why? Why should Max know this? I'll tell you later. Okay.
32:27 Speaker 03 I'm on the edge of my seat.
32:28 Speaker 02 North America's most common rat is named after what Nordic country?
32:36 Speaker 02 Is Maxwell Nordic? Is that? Does he have pet rats? I'll tell you later. Okay.
32:41 Speaker 05 I think he's just calling me a rat.
32:43 Speaker 02 Randall, you know this one? I do. Brody, you know this one? Yes.
32:48 Speaker 02 North America's most common rat is named after what Nordic country?
32:57 Speaker 02 We've got Max writing down as many Nordic countries as he can come up with. Not a bad strategy. Now our other players are doing the same. And Max, cover your board up. Geez. Hey, don't you want to beat Logan?
33:13 Speaker 02 It should be pretty easy at this point.
33:16 Speaker 02 North America's most common rat is named after what Nordic country? This is question seven, and the topic is conservation.
33:28 Speaker 02 Max declared he has three Nordic countries written down.
33:31 Speaker 08 I'm trying to think why I should know this.
33:34 Speaker 02 I think, I think Brody's just trying to mess with you. He's gonna say that every time. Where are your ancestors from?
33:43 Speaker 08 Nowhere near there.
33:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, this is puzzling. Nowhere that has rats. Corey, are you writing down Nordic countries? Yeah, I got four. Okay. Oh, I got three. Tressa, is that your strategy as well?
33:53 Speaker 08 Uh, I don't even know if this is a Nordic country.
33:55 Speaker 02 Okay, okay, we've got. Corey has outright just shown his whiteboard to Max.
34:02 Speaker 02 Does anybody have a globe?
34:03 Speaker 05 I wonder if that's, we'd need a globe.
34:05 Speaker 02 We should have a globe. Now what are you doing?
34:07 Speaker 08 Writing down an answer.
34:11 Speaker 02 Max has erased all three Nordic countries he can think of.
34:14 Speaker 08 Oh, it ain't that one. It's not that one.
34:17 Speaker 02 Logan, are you ready?
34:18 Speaker 03 I mean, I've got a Nordic country.
34:19 Speaker 02 Corey, are you ready?
34:20 Speaker 05 What do you need to know?
34:22 Speaker 02 You were writing down one country. North America's most common rat is named after what Nordic country? Tressa, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers with Tressa saying Poland. Corey, he wrote down Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and then he picked Norway.
34:40 Speaker 00 You wrote down Iceland, I think.
34:42 Speaker 05 You did.
34:42 Speaker 02 Oh, Iceland. I thought he said Ireland.
34:43 Speaker 00 I wanted him to get credit.
34:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
34:45 Speaker 00 The listeners will be chuckling.
34:47 Speaker 02 Randall says Norway, Logan says Norway, Max says Norway, Brody says Norway. They got it. The correct answer is Norway. Now, why should Max know that?
34:57 Speaker 03 Because he's from a part of the country where there's a lot of Norwegian immigrants.
35:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, that's true. That's what I thought you were going with. Max is basically made of ludefisk. Is that what it's called, right?
35:09 Speaker 05 Yeah.
35:10 Speaker 02 Norway rats are also known as brown rats, sewer rats, and street rats. They arrived to North America via ships in 1775 and are now found in all 50 states. A two-year study of New York City's rats determined that the uptown population is genetically different than the downtown population with midtown acting as a barrier that largely keeps them from mixing.
35:34 Speaker 03 Wow. How did they not get here until 1775?
35:38 Speaker 02 I don't know. They just kept clean ships before that, I suppose.
35:41 Speaker 03 No, come on. No way.
35:43 Speaker 02 Question eight. The topic is fishing. Oh, speaking of the devil, this next great question is via Leland Hart.
35:49 Speaker 03 Hey.
35:50 Speaker 02 What was the name of the Wheeler Playmate 38 boat from Gilligan's Island?
35:56 Speaker 05 Wow. Really taking us back here.
36:01 Speaker 02 What was the name of the Wheeler Playmate 38 boat from Gilligan's Island?
36:07 Speaker 04 That was Brody's proudest whiteboard slam so far.
36:11 Speaker 02 Randall also seems to know it, though. How confident are you, Randall?
36:14 Speaker 03 Phil, can you play the song after we're done?
36:17 Speaker 04 Uh, for copyright reasons, no. But I did, I did pull a clip from this theme song for last week's episode of Cal's Week in Review. Check it out.
36:25 Speaker 03 Oh, step right up and you'll hear a tale.
36:28 Speaker 02 Keep going.
36:30 Speaker 03 I don't know the words to that.
36:31 Speaker 05 I don't want to violate any copyright laws.
36:32 Speaker 02 How much of Gilligan's Island have you seen, Brody?
36:35 Speaker 03 I mean, when I was a little kid, it was like, you know, you don't remember back when there was only three channels.
36:42 Speaker 02 You're right. I do not remember that.
36:44 Speaker 03 That was the show that was on after school.
36:46 Speaker 02 But I remember Nick at Night. I watched a lot of Dick Van Dyke.
36:48 Speaker 03 Yeah, this was pre Nick at Night, buddy.
36:51 Speaker 02 I also loved the monkeys. Oh, the monkeys? Yeah. I've recently gotten served some content on Instagram showing just how stoned the monkeys were when they were filming that. It's like so obvious now when you watch a clip and you see one of the monkeys is clearly very high while they were filming that show.
37:13 Speaker 02 You know what surprises me about Gilligan's Island when I was researching this question? Only had three seasons. That seems like a show to me that had 20 seasons.
37:21 Speaker 00 When you asked Brody, how much of Gilligan's Island have you seen? I thought even if I could name every episode I've watched, I'd have no idea how much of Gilligan's Island I've seen because it just exists.
37:31 Speaker 02 Just washed over you.
37:32 Speaker 00 Yeah.
37:34 Speaker 02 Did you watch a lot of Gilligan's Island, Randall?
37:36 Speaker 00 I used to watch a lot of Nick at Night.
37:38 Speaker 02 What did you like from Nick at Night?
37:41 Speaker 00 I'm not even going to remember what was on.
37:42 Speaker 02 I liked Mary Tyler Moore because it was Minneapolis she was in. Sure. I watched a lot of I Dream of Jeannie. That was Bill.
37:48 Speaker 00 Oh, yeah.
37:50 Speaker 02 Brady Bunch.
37:50 Speaker 00 Lucy.
37:52 Speaker 05 Can we talk more about this boat? Did the, is, did the boat fail them and is that why they're stuck on the island?
37:58 Speaker 03 Well, if you knew the song, you'd know what happened.
38:02 Speaker 00 It's, the skipper had a boat.
38:06 Speaker 02 And they were supposed to be on, what, a three hour tour?
38:08 Speaker 03 A three hour tour.
38:11 Speaker 02 And then what happens? There's a storm, right?
38:12 Speaker 00 Yeah.
38:13 Speaker 02 Okay. And for some reason, this tropical island they wash up on, it has a lot of monkeys, right? Or am I thinking of a different show?
38:19 Speaker 03 I don't remember monkeys playing a big role.
38:21 Speaker 02 I feel like they were getting harassed by monkeys.
38:22 Speaker 00 There's Lord Howell, right? Who's the aristocratic character.
38:26 Speaker 03 Ginger and the doctor. Or was it the professor?
38:30 Speaker 00 The professor.
38:31 Speaker 03 The professor and Mary Ann.
38:33 Speaker 00 Yeah, there's, if you.
38:35 Speaker 03 Heer.
38:36 Speaker 00 On Love on the Spectrum, I think one of the seasons of Love on the Spectrum, one of the guys loves Gilligan's Island. And he goes to a Comic Con convention to meet the actress who played Mary Ann from, and it's. I mean, I'm surprised she's alive, but it looks great.
38:55 Speaker 04 We need to bring back TV theme songs where they just explain the entire premise of the show.
39:00 Speaker 02 It's pretty convenient.
39:00 Speaker 04 It's very convenient.
39:01 Speaker 02 You can tune in at any time then, I know what's going on. I'm almost certain they're like gorillas were weirdly on that island. You're probably right. I mean, I. Again, the question is question eight. The topic is fishing. What was the name of the Wheeler Playmate 38 boat from Gilligan's Island? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying aloha. Corey says SS Suzie. Randall says SS Minnow. Logan says Little Skipper. It was Little Buddy, Logan.
39:33 Speaker 05 Oh.
39:34 Speaker 02 Max says Little G. Brody says SS Minnow. The correct answer is the SS Minnow. The original owner of the 38 foot boat called it the Blue Jacket, but the show renamed it after TV producer Newton Minnow. The Wheeler Playmate is the same model that Ernest Hemingway owned, which he equipped without rigors for fishing. On that very boat, he caught one of his biggest tuna and wrote The Old Man in the Sea. What does SS mean? And like. Isn't like service ship or ship?
40:06 Speaker 05 Captain Randall.
40:07 Speaker 02 And it technically wasn't an SS. It should have been like an MT. Yeah. MT motor, motor. I don't remember.
40:14 Speaker 04 This is, this is Google AI, so take it with a grain of salt, but it says it's an acronym for screw steamer?
40:20 Speaker 02 Maybe. It technically, it was not an SS. Like that's, that's designated for big old ships. FB maybe fishing vessel or something like that.
40:29 Speaker 04 Yeah, it says a single screw steamship.
40:32 Speaker 02 Hmm, okay. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.
40:35 Speaker 05 Let's take a look.
40:37 Speaker 02 Oh, I thought that was the end.
40:38 Speaker 04 Everyone's on the board now. Tressa and Logan have one point. Max has two, Corey has three, Rainbow has six. And still two points ahead is Brody Henderson with eight points and a perfect game.
40:48 Speaker 05 Wow. Hot dog.
40:50 Speaker 02 Question nine. The topic is cooking.
40:54 Speaker 05 Still in it, Randall.
40:54 Speaker 02 McCormick describes this six letter spice as quote, sweet, peppery, and a bit floral with a hint of citrus.
41:05 Speaker 02 McCormick describes this six letter spice as sweet, peppery, and a bit floral with a hint of citrus.
41:16 Speaker 02 Phil, I like the Brady Bunch movie a lot more than I like the Brady Bunch.
41:20 Speaker 04 Oh yeah, well, I mean, that was, that was a great idea because the Brady Bunch movie is just like a, it's pretty much a spoof of the Brady Bunch. Cause it was the Brady Bunch living in modern times, if I'm correct. So it was like all of their TV sitcom mannerisms in the real world.
41:33 Speaker 02 And I think they went to Hawaii and there was like a cursed.
41:36 Speaker 04 That was a real episode of the Brady Bunch. The Hawaii episode with the cursed, cursed, like tiki statue or whatever the hell it was.
41:43 Speaker 02 Got all my Nick at Night mixed up. Again, we're on question nine. Brody, who has the perfect game going, does not yet have an answer.
41:52 Speaker 03 Oh, I'm struggling on this one.
41:53 Speaker 02 McCormick describes this six-letter spice as sweet, peppery, and a bit floral with a hint of citrus.
42:01 Speaker 03 Is this one that everyone has in their cupboard, Spencer?
42:04 Speaker 02 I don't know. I do not know.
42:09 Speaker 02 Does anybody feel good about their answer? Corey?
42:12 Speaker 05 No.
42:12 Speaker 02 No.
42:13 Speaker 05 Not yet.
42:18 Speaker 02 McCormick describes this six-letter spice as sweet, peppery, and a bit floral with a hint of citrus.
42:24 Speaker 05 Citrus. Hmm.
42:27 Speaker 02 This may be a zero percenter in Roone Brody's perfect game.
42:32 Speaker 08 I already tried that more than six letters.
42:33 Speaker 04 Oh, is it?
42:35 Speaker 02 Same.
42:39 Speaker 02 This is question nine.
42:44 Speaker 04 Hmm. Real stumper here. Jeez.
42:47 Speaker 02 But if Randall could get this right and Brody get it wrong, we'd have a game going into the final question. Brody now has an answer. Brody, do you like your answer?
42:56 Speaker 03 Hmm. It's got six letters.
42:59 Speaker 02 Okay.
43:01 Speaker 02 McCormick describes this six-letter spice as sweet, peppery, and a bit floral with a hint of citrus.
43:13 Speaker 02 Randall, do you have an answer?
43:15 Speaker 00 Yeah, I do. I don't really know. You can get it in a spice. Yeah, I'm not sure if I believe this.
43:21 Speaker 05 Keep going.
43:25 Speaker 00 Long story short, I'm not sure if this is a spice.
43:28 Speaker 02 Okay, do our other players give up? No, but yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying Mesquite. Corey, without an answer. Randall says Ginger. Logan says Cayenne. Max, without an answer. Brody says Garlic. The correct answer is Ginger. Randall got that one right. Did you deliberately put that right after the Gilligan's Island? But it was very ironic that somebody said Ginger was one of the characters in our previous question.
44:03 Speaker 04 Also, Randall's the only one who got it right.
44:05 Speaker 00 Yes.
44:07 Speaker 04 Anyway, sorry. Ginger. Ginger, yeah.
44:10 Speaker 02 Ginger is a common ingredient in Indian and Caribbean cuisine. The ground product comes from the underground stem of a plant that grows two to four feet tall. Wild ginger is found in 34 states, according to the USDA. It can be identified by its heart-shaped leaves and brown flowers that grow at ground level. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One with South Dakota, two, Estuary, three, St. Bernard, four, Lake Superior, five, Florida, six, Nevada, seven, Norway, eight, SS Minnow, nine, Ginger. Phil, let's get one final scoreboard update before we do question 10.
44:49 Speaker 04 Yeah, like you already said, it's still a game now. Brody has eight points. Randall has seven.
44:55 Speaker 02 Question 10.
44:56 Speaker 00 Apologize.
44:59 Speaker 00 Apologize for your earlier skepticism.
45:01 Speaker 02 The topic is hunting. This brand debuted their seven-foot Sasquatch archery target at the 2017 ATA show.
45:15 Speaker 03 This question is dumb.
45:18 Speaker 02 This brand debuted their seven foot Sasquatch archery target at the 2017 ATA show. Brody, our leader, does not yet have an answer, but neither does Randall, who is one point behind. Corey, do you think you have this one right?
45:36 Speaker 08 Fifty fifty.
45:36 Speaker 02 Okay.
45:38 Speaker 08 Just throwing it out there.
45:40 Speaker 02 This brand debuted their seven foot Sasquatch archery target at the 2017 ATA show.
45:50 Speaker 02 If Randall could get this right and Brody get this wrong, we would snap our overtime drought.
46:00 Speaker 02 But it looks like right now that Randall is not going to get it right, and neither will Brody.
46:08 Speaker 02 Max, you like your answer?
46:10 Speaker 05 It's the only one I could think of.
46:11 Speaker 02 Okay, did you put down Dave Smith decoys?
46:13 Speaker 05 No.
46:14 Speaker 08 I did not.
46:15 Speaker 02 This brand debuted their seven foot Sasquatch archery target at the 2017 ATA show.
46:22 Speaker 05 Corey, let me see what you have.
46:24 Speaker 02 Well, I don't know. I don't want to go there. Randall, do you have an answer down there?
46:28 Speaker 00 No, I hope Brody out. This is just not my forte here.
46:34 Speaker 02 Okay.
46:36 Speaker 02 Brody now, now has an answer. Brody, do you like your answer?
46:39 Speaker 03 No.
46:42 Speaker 02 Max, do you like his answer?
46:43 Speaker 03 It's an answer. Same one as mine.
46:45 Speaker 02 Oh, wow. All right.
46:46 Speaker 05 Oh, man, I kind of want to show you what I got now.
46:50 Speaker 02 I'm real close.
46:51 Speaker 03 I want to see what Randall has.
46:52 Speaker 05 There's maybe one letter.
46:53 Speaker 08 You can't show it.
46:54 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, no, let's see if this overtime happens naturally.
46:58 Speaker 05 How many points do we get if we get it right and they get it wrong?
47:02 Speaker 02 Still one.
47:02 Speaker 05 Five points?
47:03 Speaker 02 This brand debuted their seven foot Sasquatch archery target at the 2017 ATA show. Is everybody ready?
47:10 Speaker 08 Brody gave me a half a point last game. I pled.
47:14 Speaker 02 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tressa saying Caldwell, Corey says Delta, Randall says Jack links, Logan says Reinhardt, Max says Block, Brody says Block. We have a correct answer.
47:32 Speaker 02 It's Reinhardt. Oh, Logan. And that makes Brody our winner.
47:37 Speaker 03 Never got that.
47:38 Speaker 08 Yeah, I've never even heard that before.
47:40 Speaker 02 The Sasquatch stands seven feet tall, weighs 250 pounds, and costs $4,300. It's by far the biggest and most expensive 3D target that Reinhardt sells. Other unique offerings from them include a mosquito target, velociraptor target, African lion target, black cobra target, and alligator target. That makes Brody our winner with eight correct answers. He got the Shelby index right on the nose. Brody, where is the $500 from MeatEater going to go?
48:10 Speaker 03 Um, well, you boys are headed to the National Wild Turkey Federation shindig, so let's, let's donate it to those guys.
48:20 Speaker 02 Okay, $500 going to NWTF via Brody and MeatEater. You got some turkey hunts planned this year, Brody?
48:29 Speaker 03 Well, I mean, I'm definitely gonna go. I haven't ironed out any details. I got two kids that can hunt now, man. It's like...
48:35 Speaker 08 It's fun watching them go.
48:37 Speaker 02 They both got dibs on pulling the trigger over you?
48:40 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
48:40 Speaker 02 Yeah.
48:41 Speaker 03 Yep. One of them will be his first, you know...
48:43 Speaker 02 Don't sound so excited about it. It's why me and Randall are dads. We're too selfish.
48:47 Speaker 03 It's just like a lot, man. You're like, like everybody, in Montana, everyone's like, "I'm gonna fill all five of my tags this year." And whatever, it's like, good luck, man. I got, I don't even know if I'm gonna get to hunt.
49:00 Speaker 08 Do they shoot 20s or 12s?
49:02 Speaker 03 20s. I don't even shoot a 12 at turkeys anymore. There's no need, man.
49:06 Speaker 08 No, there's no need, but...
49:08 Speaker 02 Brody sending $500 to NWTF so his boys can kill all them turkeys this spring.
49:12 Speaker 03 That's right.
49:13 Speaker 02 Join us next week for more MeatEater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Pow! Thanks, Spencer. Good one.
49:21 Speaker 07 Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellotones, he lays them questions down.
49:35 Speaker 07 He likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid amateur. Rockhound.
49:46 Steven Rinella? I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house, they all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you've got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big-time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of

50:37 Speaker 09 A BetterHelp ad. I would like to formally request more storage space in my brain. Because somehow I can forget why I opened my laptop where I put my keys, or the name of someone I met 30 seconds ago. But I can remember an awkward conversation from six years ago in extraordinary detail. So if your brain came with a delete button, what would you use it on? Maybe it's that tough breakup you've analyzed from every possible angle, and irrational worry you know doesn't deserve this much attention. The conversation with your boss you keep rehearsing in the shower, or that one comment someone made that you're still thinking about weeks later. We don't always get to choose what sticks around in our heads. BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that gives you space to talk about
