1:09 Speaker 04 It's the Meat Eater Podcast.
1:12 Speaker 05 Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Randall, Cal, Nate, Sarah, Marge, Chili, Logan, and Matt. 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. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 10. That's how many points me, Cal, and Chili beat Randall and Phil by at Bar Trivia last Friday with a final score of 54 to 44. Some are declaring it the greatest upset in Bar Night.
1:52 Speaker 06 You're leaving out the first game in which we defeated you.
1:56 Speaker 07 You're also leaving out the fact that the questions were awarding points in three and five-point increments.
2:02 Speaker 05 It was a very weird game of trivia. What was the score on the first one? Do you know?
2:06 Speaker 06 I don't remember. No, no.
2:07 Speaker 07 I think we were competitive in that one, at least.
2:10 Speaker 06 I think if you were to just let the AI thing sum this up, you'd still be the loser.
2:16 Speaker 07 You're sore losers.
2:17 Speaker 05 Tell me about the trivia experience, Randall. Describe it for listeners.
2:22 Speaker 07 Well, it was interesting because we got there early thinking that you'd need to get there early to get a table. And then at five till, there was still no one there and we thought maybe we just wasted a bunch of time and got a few beers in before we really needed to. And then it filled in and it was quite a rowdy bunch. There were at least a dozen teams. And the first round, uh, the first set of questions,
2:51 Speaker 07 I thought, hey, we're off to a good start.
2:54 Speaker 05 Okay, but you, you know, you explained to me afterwards, the category was general knowledge.
2:57 Speaker 07 Yeah, it's like Jeopardy.
2:59 Speaker 05 But then, but then the questions had like multiple questions about Julius Caesar and you're like, well, he was doing a thing about war generals. In game two, they had general knowledge again, but it was not about war generals.
3:09 Speaker 07 Well, I, I, I, let me, let me clarify.
3:12 Speaker 05 Okay.
3:12 Speaker 07 In that first game, I thought that was a clever category name. And then things went off the rails.
3:18 Speaker 05 It was bad. It was bad trivia.
3:20 Speaker 07 It, yeah.
3:21 Speaker 06 The Molly Brown, I will say it again, is the only good place to play trivia in this city. I, I liked the fourteen dollar burger and a beer combo.
3:32 Speaker 07 Yes.
3:32 Speaker 06 That really like smashes it in the face of the rest of the Bozeman establishments that serve a smash burger for twenty-two dollars.
3:41 Speaker 07 There was also a twenty dollar, there was a twenty dollar, uh, chips and queso and a pitcher of beer special.
3:48 Speaker 00 But you're ordering food from Bar Nine, let me remind you.
3:51 Speaker 06 I don't care. It wasn't a smash burger. It wasn't bad.
3:54 Speaker 07 I would rate the food actually.
3:56 Speaker 06 Better than the trivia.
3:57 Speaker 07 Yeah. I wasn't, wasn't too impressed with the big buck hunter though game that they got there.
4:01 Speaker 06 Oh, that's a horrible thing for people with handicap.
4:04 Speaker 07 Alan and I played.
4:05 Speaker 00 What was the age demographic? Cause I know on the evenings, it's usually like.
4:09 Speaker 07 All over the place.
4:10 Speaker 05 College kids up to like, I don't know, people in their forties.
4:13 Speaker 07 Yeah, there were some squarely in the middle of it. Yeah, I think we were in the middle of it.
4:16 Speaker 06 I represented a large percentage of the people in their forties.
4:20 Speaker 05 Yeah. The, the trivia was very flawed. Uh, the guy had his hands full. At one point the chant started breaking out about like, that's not a cut. That's not a cut.
4:29 Speaker 06 There was a controversial meat question.
4:32 Speaker 07 I started that chant actually.
4:33 Speaker 05 Well, I was gonna leave that part out. Uh, but yes, the dude had a straight up wrong question. Uh, we're gonna do trivia again, but it's not gonna be on a Friday night.
4:41 Speaker 07 Yeah, well, I mean, the nice thing about that trivia is it starts at six. So for those of us who like to be in bed by nine, it was very accommodating.
4:49 Speaker 05 Yeah, so me, Cal, and Chili, we beat Randall and Phil. It was a lot of fun.
4:53 Speaker 07 Yep, that's the takeaway.
4:55 Speaker 05 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. Devin Bartek says, "Where has Chester been?" Chester moved. Chester moved to Wisconsin. He still works at Meat Eater. Um, so you're not gonna hear Chester on trivia very much coming up. But if you want some more Chester, uh, Meat Eater Radio, we, we record that live on Thursdays. Uh, the audio version you can listen to on Fridays. We have a segment called Chedikit, where Chester, uh, writes a nice little song to answer some listener's question, uh, where they're in a moral predicament about the outdoors. Uh, if you want more Chester, you can get more Chester there. It's one of my favorite segments we do.
5:38 Speaker 05 It's not every week, but, uh, once or twice a month, you're gonna get some Chedikit over there. We recently had a question about, um, when we were filming Roast, if we could change one thing at Meat Eater, what would it be? Randall said he would make Chester move back to Montana.
5:50 Speaker 07 Yes.
5:51 Speaker 05 So we all miss Chester.
5:52 Speaker 07 Yes.
5:53 Speaker 05 All right, now we have some housekeeping to get to. During the Meat Eater Trivia Tournament, we had a question about waning and waxing moons. Waning refers to a moon phase that is decreasing in brightness, while waxing refers to a moon phase that is increasing in brightness. And you can tell if a moon is waning or waxing by looking at what side the light is on. This got a few listeners to write in with an easy rhyme to help you remember which is which. It goes-
6:18 Speaker 06 Wax on?
6:19 Speaker 05 Quote-
6:20 Speaker 06 Wayne off.
6:21 Speaker 05 Um, no.
6:22 Speaker 06 Karate Kid.
6:23 Speaker 05 Light, light on right, it's getting bright. This means if a partially lit moon is bright on its right side, then the moon is waxing or getting bigger. Then the following night, the moon will be brighter, growing each day until it's a full moon. And on the contrary, if the light is on the left side, then the moon is shrinking. Or waning. So again, light on right, it's getting bright.
6:48 Speaker 07 Is that a hemisphere thing or is that universal?
6:50 Speaker 05 I don't know. I just assume everyone listening is in the northern hemisphere. Sorry for our folks in Australia. Is New Zealand in the southern hemisphere?
6:56 Speaker 07 Oh, yeah.
6:57 Speaker 05 Yeah, them too. So that probably doesn't apply to you. The toilet's flush backwards too, so.
7:04 Speaker 06 What, what'd your haircut cost? Looks like a fancy haircut.
7:07 Speaker 05 I get my haircut about once every two months. I don't know what it costs. Been going to the same lady pretty much since I moved here.
7:14 Speaker 06 Wow.
7:15 Speaker 05 Four Corners, Montana. What's your haircut cost?
7:18 Speaker 06 Yes?
7:18 Speaker 05 Yeah.
7:19 Speaker 06 Just time, buddy.
7:22 Speaker 05 Now, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to Meat Eater Trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
7:33 Speaker 04 Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.
7:47 Speaker 07 Does anyone get the pre-race pee feeling? Can you wait until the drop is done?
7:53 Speaker 05 Question one.
7:55 Speaker 06 Thank you, Randall. We've all heard the drop.
7:58 Speaker 05 The topic is gear. This will be multiple choice. Which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Is it triple B, F, double O, or T? And double O is written out number zero zero. So which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Triple B, F, double O, or T?
8:22 Speaker 06 Cal, you're probably one of those monsters who skips the credits when you watch TV shows, aren't you? It's part of the tone setting. It's important.
8:33 Speaker 05 Phil, what's your favorite, favorite credit?
8:36 Speaker 06 Oh, that's a great question. I gotta think about that, Spencer.
8:41 Speaker 00 Snatch.
8:43 Speaker 05 Not familiar with that one?
8:45 Speaker 00 Oh my gosh, watch it.
8:47 Speaker 05 Which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Triple B, F, double O, T? Is everybody ready?
8:58 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Marge saying triple B. Logan, Matt, Randall, Chili, Sarah, Nate, and Cal say double ought. They got it. The correct answer is double ought. That's number 00. Triple B is .18 inches in diameter. T is .2 inches. F is .22 inches. And double ought is .33 inches. Double ought is buckshot in one of the biggest pellets produced behind only triple ought and the rare quadruple ought. Hmm. Question two. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Nicholas Johnson. What does CREP stand for?
9:43 Speaker 05 That's C-R-E-P. The topic is conservation. What does CREP stand for? Cal and Randall, quick to answer this one. No, not Randall, just Cal. Cal is quick to answer this one. What does C-R-E-P stand for? Randall, you know this one?
10:10 Speaker 07 Uh, I'm working on it.
10:11 Speaker 05 Okay. Cal, do you know this one with certainty?
10:18 Speaker 06 Hmm, no, not with certainty.
10:20 Speaker 05 No, not with certainty. What does C-R-E-P stand for? We could have a zero percenter here on question two.
10:38 Speaker 07 Hmm.
10:41 Speaker 05 How many letters do you think you have, Randall?
10:45 Speaker 07 Uh, one at the moment.
10:47 Speaker 05 Okay.
10:47 Speaker 07 I've heard, I've, I've heard this acronym before. I'm digging around in the depths of my mind for what it might be.
10:56 Speaker 05 Logan, how do you feel about your answer?
10:59 Speaker 06 Not good.
10:59 Speaker 05 Not good. What does CREP stand for?
11:09 Speaker 05 Cal, how many letters do you think you have right so far out of the four?
11:14 Speaker 06 I don't know. I can tell you how many I have wrong.
11:17 Speaker 05 Okay.
11:21 Speaker 05 What does C R E P stand for?
11:29 Speaker 05 Phil, TV show credits. What's come to mind so far?
11:32 Speaker 06 Um, I love the Mad Men opening credits because the music's kind of like an anachronistic to the rest of the show, but it fits really, really well.
11:39 Speaker 05 It fits super well. It also set it up for, I think, at the end of the series, Don Draper to kill himself, and he never does. Um, so I felt like-
11:46 Speaker 06 That's true. That was a running theory.
11:47 Speaker 05 I thought that was a little Easter egg and he was, uh, he was gonna jump out a skyscraper window at the end, but he doesn't.
11:54 Speaker 06 I really like the credits for, did anyone ever watch BoJack Horseman on Netflix? Oh, yeah.
11:58 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah.
11:59 Speaker 06 I loved it. The song was catchy, but also it was one of those opening credit sequences where things would change slightly in everything depending on what was happening in the story.
12:06 Speaker 05 Oh, that's fun.
12:07 Speaker 06 So you can go back and look for some Easter eggs and stuff like that.
12:09 Speaker 02 I love that. I recently watched the credits on, one of my friends did some animation for a show called Common Side Effects. It's like a new show and it's fucking awesome.
12:19 Speaker 06 Cool.
12:19 Speaker 05 Anything HBO. I think Succession also had a great one. Game of Thrones, of course. That one also had a changing credits.
12:27 Speaker 06 Oh, I got so bored with Game of Thrones. How, I mean.
12:31 Speaker 05 I missed your saying TV. I was referencing a movie. Oh. So, Snatch. We studied that in grad school.
12:37 Speaker 06 Snatch is fantastic.
12:38 Speaker 05 Yeah. If you haven't seen it, you should watch that.
12:40 Speaker 06 Lock, lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
12:42 Speaker 05 Also very good. Both the credits in both of those are phenomenal. Does everyone have an answer for what does C R E P stand for? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge, without a C or an R, saying environmental protection. Logan says construction, research, environmental protection. Oh, conservation, research, environmental protection. Matt, crop restoration, blank. Randall, conservation, reserve easement program. Chili, conservation, recreation, engagement program. Sarah, crop restoration easement program.
13:23 Speaker 02 That sounds the most right.
13:24 Speaker 05 Nate, conservative, responsible, environmental protection. Cal, conservation, reserve easement program.
13:35 Speaker 05 The correct answer is Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. Ahhh. Nobody got it right. We had a few folks with three out of four letters. The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, or CREP, is an offshoot of the Conservation Reserve Program, or CRP. Both programs address similar things, which is creating habitat with native vegetation. The biggest difference is CREP takes a more localized approach using federal and non-federal funding. CREP usually has more incentive-based contracts as well. Question three, the topic is fishing. In what state is the Salton Sea?
14:20 Speaker 05 In what state is the Salton Sea? Matt, quick to answer. Matt, you have this one right. Okay, nodding his head, yes. I don't admit it, but I'm from there. Oh, well, there's an enormous hint if you know anything about Matt Miller. Does anybody in here know anything about Matt Miller? Yes. See the enigma. That is Matt. Randall, you have this one right?
14:48 Speaker 07 Matt's little admission there gives me an added boost of confidence, yes.
14:54 Speaker 05 You do have this one right. Did Matt's hint help out any of the folks in the room? My dad says the same thing about where he's from, and so I'm going off that. Oh, alright. Based on what I know about Matt, it gave me a decent guess. I haven't really told too many people where I'm from. In what state is the Salton Sea? Kentucky. Kentucky it is? Got that classy Kentucky shame. Is everybody ready? No. Logan, an office neighbor with Matt, doesn't even know what state he's from. Yeah, it's true. I don't know.
15:32 Speaker 05 Chili, do you have an answer?
15:33 Speaker 06 No, um, no, yeah, no, I don't know. I'm gonna be real embarrassed if I got this wrong.
15:41 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying California, Logan says Florida, Matt says California, Randall says Arizona. Chili, not an answer. Sarah and Nate and Cal say California. The correct answer is Matt's home state, California.
16:01 Speaker 06 Matt's got family in Arizona, though.
16:05 Speaker 07 Are you actually from California? That was entirely based on your, your comment there. Just want you to know that.
16:10 Speaker 05 Oh. The Salton Sea is located about 100 miles east of San Diego. During the 1960s, it was considered one of the state's most productive fisheries, producing more poundage of fish per acre than any other lake in California. About half a million anglers each year would flock there to catch, uh, cor- corne- uh, cor- corvina, croaker, sargo, and tilapia. But the sea has become too salty in the last 25 years with game fish populations almost non-existent today. So it used to be a phenomenal fishery, and now nobody fishes there. Question for the topic is hunting, and this next great question is via Samuel Hay. NFL Hall of Famer
16:54 Speaker 05 Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk.
17:04 Speaker 06 This is...
17:06 Speaker 05 NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk.
17:16 Speaker 05 Randall, do you have this one right?
17:18 Speaker 06 Believe so.
17:19 Speaker 05 Do you remember when this happened?
17:22 Speaker 07 Uh, vaguely.
17:24 Speaker 05 Okay.
17:24 Speaker 07 I remember Jared Allen.
17:26 Speaker 05 And Marge, Miss Vikings fan over here.
17:28 Speaker 07 Yeah.
17:29 Speaker 05 Doesn't have an answer quite yet.
17:31 Speaker 06 He's gonna ask what team? I've, I've watched this video about a dozen times. It's epic.
17:35 Speaker 05 NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk.
17:43 Speaker 06 You gotta be specific with the weapon or just be like category?
17:46 Speaker 05 Yes, you need to be specific.
17:48 Speaker 06 That's stupid.
17:50 Speaker 07 I would say, I, I wrote down Arizona and then when Matt said he doesn't tell people he's from there, I thought it's probably California then.
17:59 Speaker 06 Should've wrote down.
17:59 Speaker 07 But I didn't change my answer because I thought that would be disingenuous. That was my line of thinking as well.
18:06 Speaker 05 I only hear people say that about California.
18:09 Speaker 06 Are you from the Salt and Sea area, Matt? No, no. Oh, okay. I'm from, uh, Orange County.
18:14 Speaker 07 You do have family in Arizona though, right?
18:16 Speaker 06 Uh, I do.
18:17 Speaker 07 Yeah, that's what I thought.
18:23 Speaker 05 Again, we're on question four. The topic is hunting. NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk.
18:33 Speaker 06 Cause if you, in, in GTA V, the Salt and Sea is like an area you can go to and it's mostly just like meth heads and trailers. It's GTA. I'm sure it's a, it's a blanket stereotype, but I'm very curious about what it's like.
18:44 Speaker 05 Is it called the Salt and Sea?
18:46 Speaker 06 No, it's, it's like a slightly off name like, like the GTA series does. It's really not too far off the real thing. Okay.
18:53 Speaker 05 Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying a crossbow. Logan says spear. Matt says spear. Randall, spear. Chili says handgun, 44 mag. Sarah says shotgun. Nate says spear. Cal says spear. The correct answer is a spear.
19:17 Speaker 05 Alan filmed that hunt for Tim Wells's show relentless pursuit. He was on a high fence game preserve in Illinois and speared the elk from a tree stand while it ate from a bait pile. The kill was covered by the New York Times and Bleacher Report with Alan saying, quote, "He's addicted to spear hunting." I don't know how you become addicted to spear hunting, but that, those were the words he used. Question five. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Jared Elia.
19:46 Speaker 06 Maybe it's like a Pavlovian response. Like he hears the corn come out of the feeder.
19:52 Speaker 05 Jared Allen, you're saying? He wants to throw the spear.
19:55 Speaker 06 He just wants to throw the spear.
19:56 Speaker 05 Yeah, he had said something about like when he plays football, he gets to unleash all his aggressiveness by sacking a quarterback. But when he's hunting, he gets to unleash that, unleash that aggressiveness by spearing an elk. Very familiar, yeah.
20:09 Speaker 06 Yeah.
20:10 Speaker 05 Question five, cooking.
20:11 Speaker 06 I'd have to know how many sacks he got in one season. And then we could be like, okay, this is his aggressiveness.
20:17 Speaker 05 This five letter word is defined as, quote, "A piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone."
20:29 Speaker 05 This five letter word is defined as "A piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone."
20:42 Speaker 05 Matt, you have this one right as well?
20:44 Speaker 06 I'm confident.
20:44 Speaker 05 Have you ever been to the Salt and Sea?
20:46 Speaker 06 I have.
20:46 Speaker 05 What were you doing at the Salt and Sea?
20:48 Speaker 06 Driving right past it.
20:49 Speaker 05 Okay.
20:50 Speaker 06 It's very salty. Used to be called the Salt and Sink. If you look up 50's, 50's videos, it was portrayed at some awesome water ski, super nice resort and it's like completely run down now.
21:01 Speaker 05 Yeah. Wasn't that like the Colorado used to form that?
21:07 Speaker 05 It would like switch off like every decade. There'd be like one instance where it'd build up sediment. Maybe, I don't know what.
21:12 Speaker 05 And then it would go flood California and then it would build up sediment again. I assume the Salton.
21:16 Speaker 05 And then it would go back into the Gulf. I'm reading the Emerald Mile right now. I'm pretty sure that's.
21:19 Speaker 05 Okay. You would know more than me, uh, but I feel like those sea type areas rarely have, um, something flowing into them. They'd rather just. Yeah, it would happen like once a decade and it'd happen for a little bit and then the sediment would build up and it would be like, boop, going back. Well, the Colorado does dump into the Gulf of California right there, so it'd have to flow right next to it. You're probably right, Marge. Before all the dams got put in. This five-letter word is defined as a piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone.
21:53 Speaker 05 Sarah, do you have this one right? I think so. Okay.
21:58 Speaker 05 You and Matt look confident. Marge, do you have this one right? I think, I think so. Cal, do you have this one right?
22:05 Speaker 06 The last time we had a, um, spell this word with this amount of letters, I just wrote the word that I wanted it to be with that amount of letters. It's a spelling error and I feel like I'm on the track of the spelling error.
22:18 Speaker 05 You think you might have spelled, okay.
22:20 Speaker 06 Yeah.
22:20 Speaker 05 Is everybody ready?
22:22 Speaker 06 Yep.
22:23 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge and Logan and Matt saying sinew. Randall without an answer, Chili without an answer, Sarah says sinew, Nate says baska, uh, Cal says, uh, fascia. The correct answer is sinew. That's S I N E W. Similar to tendons and ligaments, sinew is connective tissue that stabilizes and aids in movement. The biggest sources of it are around the backstrap and lower legs on animals. It is sometimes used by survivalists as cordage. Bill, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.
23:05 Speaker 07 Brutal.
23:08 Speaker 06 Here we are. Last place, we have Chili with one point.
23:13 Speaker 07 Whatever.
23:14 Speaker 06 Maggie and Randall Williams have two points. Logan, Sarah, Nate, and Cal are all tied up with three points. And in first place, it's Matt Miller. He's got four points.
23:24 Speaker 05 All right, Matt. You ever run, Matt?
23:25 Speaker 06 Not gonna get cocky. No, I'm not one.

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.
24:12 Speaker 05 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.

24:51 Speaker 05 Question six. The topic is conservation. This land management technique involves partially cutting through a tree and laying it on the ground to create horizontal structure.
25:04 Speaker 06 Oh, I know somebody who hates this.
25:07 Speaker 05 Who is it?
25:08 Speaker 06 Doug Duren.
25:10 Speaker 05 This land management technique involves partially cutting through a tree and laying it on the ground to create horizontal structure.
25:20 Speaker 05 Cal, the only player to come up with an answer so far, or Nate. Nate also has an answer.
25:25 Speaker 07 All these whitetail haters getting what's due.
25:28 Speaker 05 Nate, where's your dad from who feels great shame about his home state?
25:31 Speaker 07 California.
25:32 Speaker 05 Okay.
25:32 Speaker 07 He was like born there, lived there for like a month and then moved to Texas.
25:36 Speaker 05 Hmm. So he tells people he's a Texan.
25:38 Speaker 07 Indeed.
25:40 Speaker 05 This land management technique involves partially cutting through a tree and laying it on the ground to create horizontal structure. Nate and Cal may be the only ones who get this one right. Randall, do you have an answer yet?
25:54 Speaker 07 No, I don't.
25:55 Speaker 05 Tough day for Randall.
25:56 Speaker 07 It is.
25:57 Speaker 05 But he's been on a hot streak lately.
25:59 Speaker 07 Yeah.
25:59 Speaker 05 I think maybe we shook his confidence on Friday night at Bar.
26:02 Speaker 07 Flew too close to the sun here. Yeah, this is making me question your crossword scores, Randall. Well, you know my crossword scores because you're sitting in the office opposite from me. You can't fake that speed.
26:15 Speaker 06 Spencer told me watching Randall at trivia Friday night was like watching like somebody who goes to the rock climbing gym five days a week and then goes out on real rock.
26:27 Speaker 06 And I was like, that is brutal, Spencer. That is brutal.
26:32 Speaker 05 It's almost as though I didn't actually say that.
26:35 Speaker 07 Yeah, I don't think Spencer would refer to his own game as a sham.
26:41 Speaker 05 Logan, do you know Randall's home state? We're gonna ask you about your neighbors and where they're from. Randall's home state? Yeah, Randall is also Logan's office neighbor.
26:51 Speaker 05 No, he doesn't know.
26:52 Speaker 07 Oh, it's so easy.
26:53 Speaker 00 He's an Ohioan, right?
26:55 Speaker 05 Ohio.
26:55 Speaker 07 Oh, wait. Where was I born? Cincinnati. Where was I born? You don't know that.
27:05 Speaker 07 No one knows that, except for the federal government and my parents.
27:11 Speaker 05 This land management technique involves partially cutting through a tree and laying it on the ground to create horizontal structures. Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge who drew us a nice little tree. Logan says felling. Matt says habitat engineering. Randall without an answer. Chili says crosscut. Sarah says cross sawing. Nate and Cal say hinge cutting. They got it. The correct answer is hinge cutting. Hinge cutting will keep the tree alive, creating cover and browse at ground level. It's a land management technique that's become popular in the last decade among deer hunters, but the practice also benefits rabbits and ground nesting birds. For more on this practice,
27:56 Speaker 05 check out Wired to Hunt's article called "How to Improve Any Bedding Area."
28:00 Speaker 07 You do some day trading there?
28:03 Speaker 06 Oh no, I'm just figuring out where you were born. Point of order. Point of order.
28:07 Speaker 05 Question seven. The topic is wildlife. This double crested waterbird is known for, quote, "wing spreading," a standing technique it uses to dry its feathers.
28:23 Speaker 05 This double crested waterbird is known for wing spreading, a standing technique it uses to dry its feathers. Nate with a quick answer, who also has his cellphone out.
28:34 Speaker 06 I'm doing a public good.
28:37 Speaker 05 You're trying to find out where Randall was born, huh? Starting to think he was born out of the country.
28:42 Speaker 07 Hmm. Nope. Nope. I'm still eligible for-
28:46 Speaker 06 Does it start with a T?
28:48 Speaker 07 No. The town or state?
28:51 Speaker 06 Well, can I give you the county?
28:54 Speaker 07 Sure.
28:54 Speaker 06 Hamilton?
28:55 Speaker 07 No, that's Cincinnati.
28:59 Speaker 05 Again, question-
29:00 Speaker 06 Cook?
29:00 Speaker 05 Seven.
29:01 Speaker 07 No. That's where I went to school.
29:04 Speaker 06 Nate, I'll remind you that you are tied for first place right now. Do you actually want to play the game? I, I, this is my new strategy. Is not being completely emotionally invested.
29:13 Speaker 05 But you feel good about your answer on this one?
29:15 Speaker 06 Very.
29:15 Speaker 05 Okay, Cal, you look like you have it.
29:17 Speaker 06 I almost shot one.
29:18 Speaker 05 Almost shot one, okay. Randall, do you have this one right?
29:22 Speaker 07 No.
29:23 Speaker 05 No? How about you, Matt?
29:25 Speaker 07 No idea. Although Nate's hint about almost shooting one is interesting.
29:29 Speaker 06 It's not an eagle.
29:32 Speaker 05 This double crested-
29:33 Speaker 06 But there would have been similar repercussions.
29:35 Speaker 05 Double crested waterbird is known for wing spreading. A standing technique it uses to dry its feathers.
29:45 Speaker 05 Is everybody ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge without an answer. Logan says sandhill crane. Matt says swan. Randall, pelican. Chili, without an answer. Sarah, merganser. Nate and Cal say cormorant. They got it. The correct answer is cormorant. The double crested cormorant is the most numerous and widespread of the six North American cormorant species. They spend a lot of time in water, but because they don't have waterproof feathers, they also spend a lot of time drying. They accomplish this by standing like ninjas with their wings extended outward. Can you picture a cormorant now, Randall?
30:28 Speaker 07 Yes.
30:29 Speaker 05 Do you know what those are?
30:29 Speaker 07 Oh, I do.
30:30 Speaker 05 Nate, how did you almost kill yourself a cormorant? I bet they taste real bad.
30:35 Speaker 06 I'll give you a short ver- you can't shoot them in Georgia, which is where I tried to learn how to duck hunt.
30:40 Speaker 05 I don't know where you could shoot a cormorant.
30:42 Speaker 06 Well, I think, I think- Definitely not in Georgia. Pretty much every state has depredation permits for cormorants. For those private fish ponds.
30:50 Speaker 05 Sure.
30:50 Speaker 06 Yeah. And so I was kicking around trying to jump puddle ducks and saw ninja-like birds sitting there. I thought that'd be pretty easy to shoot. And then I thought-
31:01 Speaker 05 They show you right where the vials are.
31:02 Speaker 06 So I didn't, looked it up.
31:05 Speaker 07 Boy, that sure doesn't look like a duck.
31:08 Speaker 05 Question eight. The topic is hunting. This seven-letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle.
31:24 Speaker 05 We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. This seven-letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle.
31:37 Speaker 02 I was gonna trash talk you Nate for your whitetail comment earlier.
31:39 Speaker 06 Lay it on me, I want it.
31:42 Speaker 05 Do you have this one right Nate?
31:44 Speaker 06 Yes.
31:44 Speaker 05 Do you have this one right Matt?
31:46 Speaker 06 I'm not, not confident.
31:47 Speaker 05 Okay, do you have a seven-letter word?
31:49 Speaker 06 I do, it's seven letters.
31:50 Speaker 05 Okay.
31:52 Speaker 05 Seven-letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle.
32:00 Speaker 06 Are you really not gonna say whatever you're gonna say?
32:02 Speaker 02 Oh, no, I couldn't think of a good trash talk.
32:04 Speaker 06 Oh.
32:05 Speaker 02 I was just hoping someone else might have something along those lines.
32:08 Speaker 06 It's the thought that counts. Yeah, yeah.
32:10 Speaker 05 Logan, let's test your other office neighbor trivia. Where's Cal from?
32:17 Speaker 06 Dude.
32:19 Speaker 05 Uh-oh.
32:22 Speaker 06 Madame Mystery, it's okay. What does Cal talk about a lot? Yeah, he only talks about it every week on this podcast.
32:28 Speaker 05 Marge had to write it down for Logan. Where's Brody from? Brody's also your office neighbor.
32:36 Speaker 06 I don't know. Oh, wow. Same state as Seth. Colorado?
32:39 Speaker 05 No.
32:39 Speaker 06 Pennsylvania.
32:40 Speaker 05 Pennsylvania.
32:41 Speaker 06 Oh, eerie. Yep.
32:43 Speaker 05 Again, question eight. This seven-letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts.
32:47 Speaker 06 But where was Randall born? Still thinking on it.
32:51 Speaker 05 Is everybody ready?
32:54 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Marge without an answer. Logan says chuckle. Matt chuckle. Randall chuckled. Chili without an answer. We've got Sarah, Nate, and Cal saying chuckle. They got it. The correct answer is chuckle. When it comes to chuckles and grunts, Jason Phelps says he typically likes to mimic the bull he's calling to. So, if that bull is chuckling and grunting, then he'll chuckle and grunt as well. But if it's not, then he won't. Here is Dirk Durham from Phelps explaining the difference between a grunt and a chuckle. So the grunts are kind of a more drawn-out type of noise, whereas the chuckle is a more
33:37 Speaker 05 rapid, a little faster tempoed type noise. So, here's the grunts.
33:51 Speaker 05 And now here's the chuckles.
33:59 Speaker 07 Does he do that without moving his mouth?
34:03 Speaker 05 Had a video freeze for a second. We're on question nine, but before we do that, let's get a scoreboard update from Phil.
34:08 Speaker 07 Oh, Jesus Christ.
34:10 Speaker 06 Don't even say it.
34:11 Speaker 07 Oh.
34:11 Speaker 06 Tell us who's out of the running. Chili, Maggie, Randall are all out of the game, but Logan and Sarah have four points. Matt has five and tied up in first place are intern Nate and Ryan Callaghan.
34:29 Speaker 05 Wow.
34:31 Speaker 07 They would benefit now.
34:34 Speaker 05 That's very good. Question nine. The topic is natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Evan Engelbrecht for sending this great question. Evan is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com. This 1998 comedy follows Chris Farley and Matthew Perry.
34:57 Speaker 06 Nate wasn't even born yet.
34:58 Speaker 05 As they race Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean.
35:03 Speaker 06 Don't know it though.
35:04 Speaker 07 This is one of my top 10 favorite movies.
35:06 Speaker 06 Okay, I'm gonna say something. The first time I ever visited my wife's parents, I'd never actually seen this movie. Um, but I heard it was funny from one of my friends. So I was like, hey, let's all sit down and watch this, this, this really good, funny movie I've heard about.
35:20 Speaker 05 With your wife's parents.
35:21 Speaker 06 Yeah, this movie sucks.
35:24 Speaker 05 Let's get more into that in the flavor test.
35:26 Speaker 07 But Matt said it's one of his top 10 films.
35:28 Speaker 06 I'm sorry. It's so funny.
35:29 Speaker 05 This 1998 comedy follows Chris Farley and Matthew Perry as they race Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean.
35:40 Speaker 06 This was Farley's last movie, wasn't it?
35:43 Speaker 05 We'll get to that in the flavor text. Randall and Nate look confident, excuse me, Randall and Matt look confident.
35:50 Speaker 07 Yeah, you guys are gonna have a three-way tie here if you don't get your shit together.
35:54 Speaker 05 I remind our players and our listeners, I think we're on a three-month drought or overtime. So today could be the day.
36:02 Speaker 07 That's exciting.
36:03 Speaker 06 That's, that's crazy. Can't believe it's been that long.
36:07 Speaker 05 Like I said, I'm gonna have to look at these questions again to make sure they're still accurate. I've been sitting on them for such a long period.
36:14 Speaker 06 Spencer, how much time per day do you think you spend thinking about trivia? Like all these like random stats that you come up with? Is this just like spinning around your head in any given day?
36:22 Speaker 05 Too much, too much. It, it.
36:24 Speaker 07 It is his job.
36:25 Speaker 05 Seeps into the rest of my life.
36:27 Speaker 02 Is it like a running notes app on the phone scenario?
36:30 Speaker 05 It is, mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah, a lot of trivia gets written while I'm like, um, eating supper, driving down the road. And, uh, something occurs to me and then it winds up in my phone. From my phone, it goes to a Google Doc and from the Google Doc, it might make it into a script. So that's just phase one of, of winding up as being a question. This 1998 comedy follows Chris Farley and Matthew Perry as they race Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean. This is question nine. Is everybody ready?
36:58 Speaker 06 No.
36:59 Speaker 05 Matt, do you know where Logan is from, your office neighbor, Logan?
37:03 Speaker 06 Oh, man, I feel like you told me this when I first started, which has been a little bit.
37:10 Speaker 06 Colorado, maybe? No? Nice. This makes me feel so much better about not remembering.
37:14 Speaker 05 Randall, you certainly know.
37:18 Speaker 05 Oh, man.
37:19 Speaker 02 I got you, Logan.
37:19 Speaker 06 Where are you from?
37:21 Speaker 07 Go ahead.
37:22 Speaker 06 Chicago.
37:23 Speaker 02 Well, no, you're not from Chicago.
37:26 Speaker 02 You're from, you're from Chicago. Like, I tell people I'm from Chicago.
37:29 Speaker 05 Oh, I was gonna ask someone about you next.
37:31 Speaker 02 If I'm talking to Montanans, I say I'm from Chicago. But if I'm talking to people like Logan, who are from the Chicagoland area, then you can get specific.
37:38 Speaker 05 Okay, so what would be the specific answer?
37:40 Speaker 02 Uh, Palatine?
37:41 Speaker 06 Yeah.
37:42 Speaker 07 Sarah, you knew every-
37:43 Speaker 06 Buddy.
37:44 Speaker 07 Joliet?
37:45 Speaker 06 Where am I from?
37:47 Speaker 05 Joliet is. That's Illinois, right?
37:49 Speaker 06 Roaring metropolis. That's close.
37:52 Speaker 07 Schaumburg, yeah, that's a good one.
37:54 Speaker 05 Is everybody ready?
37:56 Speaker 07 I don't know. I don't know much about the suburbs.
38:00 Speaker 05 Cal, do you give up?
38:01 Speaker 00 Not a whole lot to know.
38:02 Speaker 06 Yeah.
38:02 Speaker 05 Do you think you've seen this movie, Cal?
38:04 Speaker 07 Fifty-fifth and Cottage Grove.
38:05 Speaker 06 Yeah, I've seen parts of it. I mean, ninety-eight, the high school.
38:08 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
38:08 Speaker 06 You know?
38:09 Speaker 05 This was made for Ryan Callaghan, actually.
38:11 Speaker 06 By Chris Farley.
38:12 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying, "Without a paddle." Logan says, "Tommy boy." Matt and Randall say, "Almost heroes." Chili and Sarah, without an answer. Nate says, "Blazing saddles." Cal, without an answer. The correct answer is "Almost heroes." Matt and Randall got that one right.
38:32 Speaker 07 You guys should feel real proud of yourselves.
38:34 Speaker 05 The film was a flop, receiving a five percent critics score from Rotten Tomatoes. The site says it has an exceptionally poor laughs-to-jokes ratio, calling it, quote, "A sorry swan song for the talented Chris Farley." It was the last leading role Farley had, with the movie coming out five months after his death.
38:55 Speaker 07 There's gotta be a term for a movie that, once all the leads are dead. You know?
39:02 Speaker 05 Sure.
39:02 Speaker 06 Yeah.
39:03 Speaker 07 Like, that strikes me when I watch certain, like, I guess.
39:06 Speaker 06 Old movies.
39:07 Speaker 07 Yeah, there's, well, they're not leads, they're like Bad Santa. There's like a scene with Bernie Mac and...
39:16 Speaker 07 What's his name?
39:17 Speaker 05 Billy Bob Thornton. Is he in that movie?
39:19 Speaker 06 He's alive.
39:20 Speaker 07 Who is it, Phil? Who am I thinking of? In any event, we're gonna move on.
39:25 Speaker 00 Your favorite movie, Matt, has a five percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
39:28 Speaker 05 Five percent critics.
39:29 Speaker 00 How does that make you feel?
39:29 Speaker 07 I wanna know if we added up all of Matt's top ten list if we crack a hundred.
39:35 Speaker 05 I think this maybe needs to be a future movie club, so I have an excuse to watch it then.
39:40 Speaker 07 Yeah.
39:40 Speaker 05 Otherwise, this will never.
39:41 Speaker 06 It's one of those movies, I mean, I don't know if the last time you've seen it, Matt, but it was like, if you watched it as a kid, it's prob- I mean, I, you probably love it.
39:48 Speaker 00 It's probably so bad that you haven't seen it in years.
39:50 Speaker 07 This movie I have on DVD, just so I can watch it in our camper.
39:52 Speaker 05 Wow!
39:54 Speaker 06 You could have lied. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. No, no, no, it's, it's totally a
39:58 Speaker 02 Tossing your watermelon there.
40:00 Speaker 05 Lots of crisps falling, I think. All right, here's a correct answer review. One was double ought pellet. Two, conservation reserve enhancement program. Three, California. Four, spear. Five, sinew. Six, hinge cutting. Seven, cormorant. Eight, chuckle. Nine, almost heroes. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update before we do question 10.
40:23 Speaker 07 John Ritter.
40:25 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
40:27 Speaker 06 Uh, it is a three-way tie for first now. Matt, Nate, and Cal all have six points and they are the only ones still in the running for the win.
40:36 Speaker 05 Question 10, the topic is fishing.
40:38 Speaker 06 Oh, I know it.
40:39 Speaker 05 Great question. Is John Paul Lucius. This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike.
40:48 Speaker 06 No, it's fine.
40:49 Speaker 05 Cypress trout and swamp bass.
40:54 Speaker 05 This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, Cypress trout, and swamp bass. We have a three-way tie right now with Nate, Cal, and is it Randall or Matt?
41:07 Speaker 06 It's Matt.
41:08 Speaker 05 Matt.
41:08 Speaker 06 Are you joking?
41:09 Speaker 05 Nate and Cal, three-way tie for question 10. This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, Cypress trout, and swamp bass.
41:22 Speaker 05 And our three players in the lead do not yet have an answer.
41:27 Speaker 06 Three-way tie?
41:28 Speaker 05 Hmm, could happen.
41:30 Speaker 06 No one writing answer down. That's tied.
41:33 Speaker 00 Do it, you won't.
41:36 Speaker 05 Hmm.
41:37 Speaker 06 Yes, that's what I'll do out of love for the game.
41:41 Speaker 05 This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, Cypress trout, and swamp bass.
41:51 Speaker 06 I feel liberated here.
41:52 Speaker 05 Do you have this one right, Randall?
41:53 Speaker 07 No, I don't care.
41:54 Speaker 05 Oh.
42:03 Speaker 05 Nate, do you have an answer?
42:04 Speaker 06 No dude, I was doing so well because there were so few fishing questions. And you hit us with the old number 10 fishing.
42:12 Speaker 05 Cypress trout.
42:13 Speaker 07 Well, there are four verticals.
42:16 Speaker 05 That's right. They're bound to show up somewhere Nate.
42:20 Speaker 05 Right when you most expect it. Fishing.
42:23 Speaker 06 Indeed.
42:24 Speaker 02 Like in a trivia game about all four verticals.
42:27 Speaker 05 That's right. Do you guys give up?
42:30 Speaker 06 No.
42:32 Speaker 05 Hmm. Randall, do you have a... do you think you have a chance at this one?
42:36 Speaker 07 I have a chance at it.
42:37 Speaker 05 Okay, Cal, do you have this one right?
42:38 Speaker 06 No.
42:39 Speaker 05 Okay. Is everybody ready?
42:42 Speaker 06 I have a guess.
42:43 Speaker 05 Nate doing some erasing.
42:45 Speaker 07 Yeah, I don't like my answer.
42:46 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Marge saying snakehead, Logan says musky, Matt says ling, Randall says speckled trout, Chili says catfish, Sarah says catfish, Nate says tarpon, Cal, crossed out red drum, puts snakehead. The correct answer... Is both in? Nobody got that one right.
43:12 Speaker 06 I knew, I was like, it's probably not snakehead, it's the native one that looks like, yeah.
43:17 Speaker 05 Both are the last remaining member of their entire genus. They are some of the oldest freshwater fish on earth with fossils dating back to the Jurassic era. Other than those nicknames, they have dogfish, cottonfish, grinders, beaverfish, blackfish, and mudfish as monikers.
43:35 Speaker 06 Great teeth on them.
43:36 Speaker 05 Alright, we're going to overtime. Play the drop film. Tiebreaker. If you ain't first, you're last. I think just cut it at, if you ain't first, you're last, and then like go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, [bleep] off, man. Wow, I haven't... just reminded, uh, it was just a reminder of how long it's been since I've heard that.
43:57 Speaker 07 Yeah.
43:57 Speaker 06 Feels new again.
43:59 Speaker 05 Alright.
43:59 Speaker 06 We're through ineptitude.
44:00 Speaker 05 The tiebreaking question is a numerical question. Whoever is closest will be declared the winner. The tiebreaking topic is public lands. How many national parks does the National Parks Service manage?
44:16 Speaker 05 How many national parks does the National Park Service manage? These are the national parks, like Yellowstone and none of the, none of the other things that have designations that are managed by the park service. We're talking about national parks here. How many does the National Park Service manage? Not just in Montana. And everyone should come up with an answer because if somebody gets it right on the nose, me Dieter will add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game. Nate, with such a quick answer, you'd almost think that he knows this one.
44:48 Speaker 07 Uh, I know that this is the only number I'll come up with.
44:52 Speaker 05 Okay.
44:52 Speaker 07 My wife got this water bottle with all of these little stick.
44:56 Speaker 05 Hmm.
44:56 Speaker 07 Small or big stickers?
44:57 Speaker 05 How many?
44:58 Speaker 07 I don't know.
44:58 Speaker 05 Small or big? Okay.
45:00 Speaker 07 And she threw out a number the other day about how many more she had to go.
45:06 Speaker 05 Hmm, okay. Don't give us any more hints.
45:08 Speaker 07 That's it. Fascinating.
45:10 Speaker 05 How many national parks?
45:11 Speaker 06 Pretty good context, Nate.
45:12 Speaker 05 Does the National Park Service?
45:14 Speaker 07 Has she been to a lot? Well, that's, I'll, I'll wait. No clue, no more clues.
45:21 Speaker 05 Nate might be wearing his lucky sweater today.
45:23 Speaker 07 Which I'll wear every time I come to trivia from here out. That's unfortunate.
45:28 Speaker 05 It changed the mood of the room when Nate logged in. Uh, and he had to all of a sudden defend his outfit.
45:34 Speaker 06 He looks like Chris Evans in Knives Out.
45:35 Speaker 07 Thank you. Not that I'm living in the glory days, but, uh, this was an integral part of my wardrobe in high school, which resulted in best dressed 2015.
45:46 Speaker 05 Did you?
45:46 Speaker 07 Wow. Did you buy that or did someone knit that for you? Um, I bought it at Ross Dress for Life.
45:52 Speaker 05 Hell yeah, Nate.
45:53 Speaker 06 Can you still take it back?
45:55 Speaker 07 Uh, I think I've passed the window, but.
45:57 Speaker 05 The man won best dress in high school.
46:00 Speaker 06 Like, I'm not being sarcastic when I, I say, you look good, man.
46:03 Speaker 05 You do look good.
46:03 Speaker 06 Thank you. I'm not, I'm not jumping on this bandwagon. Excuse me.
46:07 Speaker 07 A little American Monday action as well.
46:09 Speaker 05 Oh, wow.
46:10 Speaker 07 You'll never put your leg up like that again.
46:13 Speaker 06 Chili said if they actually dress nice. There you go, Marge. Good one.
46:19 Speaker 07 She said we don't dress nice.
46:20 Speaker 06 Which also... Marge? Shots fired.
46:23 Speaker 07 Well, Marge...
46:23 Speaker 06 I'm sorry, Marge, that I show up in a bear costume from time to time.
46:27 Speaker 07 I compliment your fashion all the time, so what does that say about you?
46:30 Speaker 06 Well, you guys were just hating on somebody, so come on. How many times have you just gotten roasted walking into a room with a nice outfit on? Steve roasts me all the time. Okay, well, that's true.
46:40 Speaker 05 Very unfortunate.
46:41 Speaker 06 I've said I've liked your jumpers and stuff, and then you throw shit.
46:45 Speaker 06 Who calls it a jumper? Pack your own gear from here on out. Meat in Alaska.
46:48 Speaker 05 Meat Eater has a culture where if you're not wearing a Meat Eater shirt, you look like a weirdo.
46:52 Speaker 06 Yeah, it's true. Just had to defend my friend.
46:55 Speaker 05 If you want to see Nate's nice and potentially lucky sweater, head over to YouTube.
46:59 Speaker 07 For me personally, dressing nice feels like putting a bunch of shitty accessories on an old car.
47:05 Speaker 06 Like polishing a turd.
47:06 Speaker 07 Yeah, exactly.
47:07 Speaker 06 Lipstick on a pig.
47:08 Speaker 05 All right, does everyone have an answer for how many national parks?
47:11 Speaker 07 Got anymore?
47:12 Speaker 05 Does the National Park Service manage? Again, we're down to Cal, Nate, and Matt.
47:16 Speaker 07 That's what my scoreboard tells me.
47:18 Speaker 05 Matt and Nate have never won a game.
47:21 Speaker 06 Nope.
47:21 Speaker 05 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying forty-seven, Logan says one hundred fifteen, Randall says sixty-one. Chili didn't write down an answer. He doesn't want to show us. Sarah says fifty-two, Cal says forty-eight. Our remaining players, we have Nate with sixty-eight, Cal forty-eight, and Matt eleven.
47:45 Speaker 06 I feel like I'm way off. Eleven? I thought there was only eleven, like, actual national parks.
47:49 Speaker 05 Somebody in the room is two off of the correct answer.
47:53 Speaker 07 It's me.
47:54 Speaker 06 It's probably not me.
47:55 Speaker 05 The correct answer is sixty-three, giving Nate the victory. He was five off of the real number. Randall was two off, but he was not in the running.
48:06 Speaker 06 Kind of reminds me of Friday Night Trivia. It's not that good.
48:09 Speaker 05 There are sixty-one parks in the States, one in American Samoa, and one in the Virgin Islands. In total, the National Park Services Service manages four hundred thirty-one sites that consist of battlefields, monuments, scenic trails, and more. So sixty-three was the right answer. Nate, you've never done this part before. Where is your five hundred dollar donation?
48:31 Speaker 06 This is huge. I like that. Matt's hint? And my wife's water bottle for getting me here.
48:37 Speaker 05 There you go.
48:38 Speaker 06 And Ross dressed for less. Thank you. Ross can't take your donation though. I was not, uh, wasn't prepared for this for obvious reasons. So I'm going to punt this to Cal about the thing that you were talking about earlier. Maybe?
48:54 Speaker 05 Cal was educating us on a corner crossing verdict that just happened mere hours ago.
48:59 Speaker 06 The corner crossing verdict.
49:01 Speaker 05 The corner crossing verdict. What do you have to tell us? And then Nate will make his donation after that.
49:06 Speaker 06 Oh, this like best thing since sliced bread. So, uh, one of the highest courts in all the land just said that corner crossing is illegal. And in fact, it's never, or sorry, corner crossing is legal and it has never been illegal.
49:22 Speaker 05 Hmm.
49:22 Speaker 06 And he, um, in, in, um, his judgment, he, he goes back to the land itself. So, um, that's, it's a great, great ruling for folks who like, you know, American freedom.
49:37 Speaker 05 Yeah. Sure. We'll get more from that on Cal's podcast. Uh, now Cal, who were some of the organizations that were a big part of, of making that happen? So you give Nate some inspiration for his donation.
49:48 Speaker 06 Oh, Wyoming BHA, I would think would be widely regarded as like the whistleblower organization of the, the case that kicked off this lawsuit.
49:59 Speaker 05 So Nate will ask again, where do you want your $500 to go?
50:02 Speaker 06 Wyoming BHA.
50:03 Speaker 05 Wyoming BHA. Beautiful. Good choice. Appropriate trade, choice. Well done, Nate. Well earned victory.
50:10 Speaker 07 Nate, I, I thought this was going to come sooner, but it finally, is it as sweet as you'd imagine?
50:16 Speaker 06 Yep. I think I'm going to go out and buy a crumble cookie to celebrate. Good, good for you.
50:20 Speaker 05 Uh, now next week I have an exciting announcement on that episode. Uh, happy to tell you about a new project. So join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
50:32 Speaker 04 Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.

50:58 Speaker 07 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
