1:47 Speaker 03 Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Neuharth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Randall, Brody, Nate, Roman, and Anthony. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Uh, now for three stats of the week this year, we reviewed player performance by category for 2025. As a reminder, Yanis leads in hunting where he gets 80% of questions correct. Brody leads in fishing with 72%, Randall leads in conservation with 72%.
2:30 Speaker 03 And today we're looking at cooking. Who do you guys think is the cooking champion?
2:34 Speaker 04 Yanni?
2:35 Speaker 03 Not Yanni, Yanni, Yanni is fifth place.
2:38 Speaker 05 Cooking is not a good category for me.
2:41 Speaker 03 I've never got a cooking one right. Not Brody. Steve, Steve is our leader. Here are the top five. Yanni is fifth at 70%. Maggie Hudlow and Brody are tied for third at 75%.
2:54 Speaker 05 That's pretty good.
2:54 Speaker 03 Randall is second at 77% and Steve Burnella is first at 82%.
3:01 Speaker 04 Yeah, but how many at bats?
3:02 Speaker 03 Not a lot. Yeah. Him and him and Maggie barely made, uh, my fictional cut in my head as to who could be in the top five. Uh, but, but Maggie tied with Brody at third and Steve number one.
3:15 Speaker 05 So who's the overall, like when you combine them all?
3:19 Speaker 03 I, I will, uh, we could give you that next episode.
3:22 Speaker 04 Teaser.
3:23 Speaker 03 I think I know who will be, but this, this means that last year, each one of our verticals was championed by a different player. Yanni in hunting, Brody in fishing, Randall in conservation and Steven cooking. It just seems right.
3:35 Steven Rinella? Yeah, I think it speaks to the quality of your questions.
3:38 Speaker 03 Okay.
3:39 Speaker 04 I think it speaks to the quality of a player as a host. You know what I wanted to give some feedback on as I'm prepping another batch of 10 questions? I think you're right, Randall. I remove questions that I know you're gonna get.
3:52 Speaker 03 Thanks. I do not do that.
3:53 Speaker 04 I think you do subconsciously.
3:55 Speaker 05 No, I think you put them in there because you know he's gonna get them right.
3:58 Steven Rinella? It's like, what of the many things am I right about? Are you gonna talk about?
4:02 Speaker 03 Okay, so Randall thinks I remove questions he'll get right. Brody thinks I add questions that Randall will get right.
4:08 Speaker 05 Oh, he does.
4:09 Steven Rinella? I think, but I think it's, I think it's unconscious. I think, I think like as I'm looking at a question, I'm like, that's not a good question. But if I ask myself why, it's because.
4:20 Speaker 05 Randall, it's time for you to host again, I feel like.
4:23 Speaker 03 We'll make it happen. Are you hosting again, Nate?
4:24 Speaker 04 I don't, maybe.
4:25 Steven Rinella? Yeah, it is. We'll see. It is. You're right.
4:27 Speaker 03 I, I need.
4:28 Speaker 05 We're always prepping to host.
4:30 Speaker 03 Yeah, I need everyone.
4:31 Speaker 04 Dude, your energy for the meetings would be great for hosting.
4:35 Speaker 03 I'm gonna have some. Different categories.
4:38 Speaker 03 Podcast started nine minutes late because we were showering Anthony with compliments about how well he does in meetings.
4:46 Steven Rinella? Good meeting guy.
4:47 Speaker 03 Thanks guys. Strong. Alright, here's an IFAQ. Now, in the past, a lot of IFAQs were about the trivia show itself. Since we've gotten rid of Radio Live, we don't get to tackle a lot of just general questions that would otherwise show up in the chat. So, in the future, for your IFAQ, it can just be whatever you want us to answer for you. Today, Wynn is starting us off. Wynn says, hello, I am 10 years old and me and my dad love your show. Here's my IFAQ. What calibers does the crew use for deer? And what would they recommend for beginners? So, there's two different questions here. What do you got, Yanni? 12 gauge slug gun.
5:24 Steven Rinella? I'm just surprised. That's a good one. I'm just surprised that that's the one that you chose, Spencer.
5:29 Speaker 03 It was the most recent one in my inbox.
5:31 Speaker 05 You gotta educate this kid. Should be cartridges, not calibers.
5:35 Speaker 03 Okay, there's your first answer, Wynn. Wynn has two questions here. What calibers does the crew use? And then what do they recommend for beginners? Yanni, what are you, for deer, what are you gonna use to shoot a deer this year?
5:48 Steven Rinella? Uh, either a 6.5 Creedmoor or a 308 Win.
5:52 Speaker 03 Okay.
5:53 Speaker 05 308, old school, huh?
5:56 Steven Rinella? Well, I just have a gun that's chambered in it.
5:58 Speaker 05 You got some pants called a 308.
6:00 Speaker 03 Where does he live? Wynn did not, well, let me go look and see if Wynn told us where he lives.
6:05 Steven Rinella? I will probably shoot a deer with,
6:10 Steven Rinella? I've killed my last few deer with a 6 Creedmoor. Killed most, if you were looking at the grand total of deer that I've killed, most of them been with a 300 Win Mag.
6:22 Speaker 05 This year, Randall, this year he's asking.
6:24 Steven Rinella? Could be anything. I just don't know yet.
6:26 Speaker 05 4570.
6:27 Steven Rinella? Things are, things are in flux right now in my, in my gun cabinet. I've killed a couple bucks with a 4570.
6:32 Speaker 03 Same.
6:33 Steven Rinella? That worked.
6:36 Steven Rinella? I think for a young shooter, I think recoil sensitivity is paramount.
6:41 Speaker 03 Yeah.
6:42 Steven Rinella? I think bullet, bullet matters more than head stamp or caliber. And I think you just gotta get something that you're comfortable shooting. Brody says no.
6:50 Speaker 03 Brody's shaking his head.
6:51 Speaker 05 No, I think you should train your kids up on recoil.
6:56 Speaker 05 Otherwise, they're gonna be afraid of it their entire lives.
6:58 Speaker 03 I think they should just shoot whatever they're comfortable with.
7:00 Steven Rinella? 6.5 Creedmoor.
7:02 Speaker 03 6.5, 308, 243. 350. Legend. Hmm.
7:06 Speaker 04 Yeah.
7:07 Speaker 03 Maybe he's in the Midwest. He could be in the Midwest.
7:08 Speaker 03 I'm looking at Wynn's email. He didn't say where he lives, but he wrote a trivia question as well that has to do with Alberta and Colorado.
7:17 Speaker 04 Oh.
7:17 Speaker 03 So we're just gonna guess he's in the Rocky Mountains somewhere.
7:20 Speaker 04 It's a good guess.
7:20 Steven Rinella? Or on the plains.
7:21 Speaker 03 Yanni, any recommendations for Wynn about a good beginner caliber?
7:26 Speaker 04 Uh, the 6'5" Creedmore.
7:27 Speaker 05 Yep.
7:27 Speaker 03 Okay.
7:28 Speaker 04 Does it all. Easy to get ammo for.
7:29 Speaker 05 And you could take a crack at an elk. If you hit him in the right spot, you'll be fine.
7:33 Speaker 03 I, I was also going to recommend that, uh, that's four of us who think a 6'5" Creedmore would be good for beginners. Anything else to add, uh, for Wynn about what calibers we're using for deer and what we'd recommend?
7:45 Speaker 05 It doesn't really matter as long as you can shoot it accurately.
7:47 Speaker 03 Okay. And I think that is a part of Randall's answer about recoil management.
7:52 Steven Rinella? And something you can practice a lot with.
7:54 Speaker 03 There you go.
7:55 Steven Rinella? Just be comfortable.
7:56 Speaker 03 Shootability. Doesn't cost a lot.
7:58 Steven Rinella? Know where it go.
8:00 Speaker 03 All right. No housekeeping today. The Shelby index for this episode is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
8:13 Speaker 07 Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?
8:19 Steven Rinella? Just tend to win everything.
8:27 Speaker 03 Game on, suckers. Question one. The topic is public lands. And as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these national parks does not have elk? Is it Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Olympic, or Theodore Roosevelt?
8:46 Speaker 03 Three of those national parks have elk. One of them does not. Is it the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Olympic, or Theodore Roosevelt?
9:00 Speaker 03 Going back to our IFAQ, if you want us to answer a question like when for recommended beginner deer cartridges, send that email to trivia@themead eater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Maybe you want to know what Yanni's gonna do with his turkey legs this year, or what video game is keeping Phil up late at night lately. Send us your questions there. Again, question one, which of these national parks does not have elk? Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Olympic, Theodore Roosevelt?
9:32 Steven Rinella? Spencer, if I could offer some feedback that I saw in the YouTube comments. Some guy said you read the question too much.
9:40 Speaker 03 Mmm.
9:40 Steven Rinella? That was the first for me.
9:41 Speaker 03 Wow.
9:42 Speaker 02 I like it when he reads it again.
9:44 Speaker 04 It helps.
9:45 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
9:45 Steven Rinella? I just, I just think you can't do, I mean, I don't know, just I wanted to put that bug in your ear.
9:51 Speaker 04 I think Spencer does that for the, for the audio listener. Whoever's commenting on YouTube is probably watching on YouTube. They can see the question on the screen.
9:59 Steven Rinella? Yeah, I'm just passing it along. It's not my job, Randall.
10:02 Speaker 05 I also think it's helpful when you're stuck and you can't, you have someone coming up with an answer. It's good to hear.
10:07 Speaker 02 I'm always stuck.
10:08 Steven Rinella? We always.
10:09 Speaker 05 Let's not run our lives based on YouTube comments, Randall. We don't want to go down that path.
10:14 Speaker 03 Run them based on Spotify comments.
10:15 Steven Rinella? Okay, good. Cause I was told on the YouTube comments that you should go away forever.
10:21 Speaker 03 Well, second. I do read the question a lot. It, one is for our audio listeners. Two, I'm trying to fill some dead air. And, and yeah, three, I think it's just nice for folks to hear it a third and fourth time.
10:34 Steven Rinella? It just made me chuckle, cause every time I've hosted, if you forget to read a question twice, you get slammed for it. And this guy's like, a little too much. It's going a little overboard.
10:43 Speaker 05 Spencer's just got a nice voice to listen to.
10:45 Speaker 03 Thank you. One more time. I think it's the fifth time you're gonna hear this one. Which of these national parks does not have elk? Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Olympic, Theodore Roosevelt? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Joshua Tree. Roman and Randall say Joshua Tree. Anthony says Theodore Roosevelt. Nate and Brody say Joshua Tree. They got it. The correct answer is Joshua Tree.
11:11 Speaker 05 Randall, that marker's not gonna work for whoever tries to use it. Max, you've used it all up.
11:16 Speaker 03 Anthony's gonna have to have a line item about that in our next all company meeting.
11:22 Steven Rinella? This place is made of money, Brody.
11:24 Speaker 03 Grand Canyon has Rocky Mountain elk, which were stocked there about 100 years ago to replace the extinct Mariam's elk. Theodore Roosevelt also has Rocky Mountain elk, which were stocked there 40 years ago to replace the extirpated Manitoba elk. And Olympic is home to one of the continent's largest herds of Roosevelt elk. Question to the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Anthony Spine. The acronym ACP stands for Automatic Blank Pistol.
12:00 Speaker 03 Nate, very quick to answer. He's the only one. Randall got a shocked look in his eye.
12:07 Steven Rinella? Wow.
12:07 Speaker 03 Was this, I don't know if it was about Nate knowing it, or about Randall not knowing it right off the bat.
12:12 Steven Rinella? Equally shocking.
12:13 Speaker 03 The acronym ACP stands for Automatic Blank Pistol.
12:20 Steven Rinella? I think I know it.
12:21 Speaker 03 Okay.
12:22 Steven Rinella? I thank my grandpa for this one. R.I.P.
12:24 Speaker 03 Hmm. Rest in power.
12:26 Steven Rinella? Yep. I had a question about your voice.
12:29 Speaker 05 This is a good one.
12:30 Speaker 03 About my voice?
12:30 Steven Rinella? Yep.
12:31 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
12:31 Steven Rinella? I can't stand my voice when I listen to it. It sucks. Yeah. Do you like listening to your voice? Cause it's so great?
12:37 Speaker 03 I don't, I don't dislike it.
12:39 Steven Rinella? Nice dude, that'd be so great.
12:41 Speaker 03 I gotta, I gotta hear that again.
12:42 Speaker 05 It'll, it'll get easier.
12:44 Steven Rinella? Oh, it's the worst.
12:45 Speaker 05 Everybody, everybody has the same feelings.
12:47 Steven Rinella? But Spencer has just like a unequivocally good voice.
12:50 Speaker 03 Hmm.
12:51 Steven Rinella? You know what I'm saying?
12:51 Speaker 05 He probably didn't think that when he first started.
12:53 Steven Rinella? Did you think that when you first started?
12:55 Speaker 03 Um, uh, no, I don't, I don't, I don't know that it was like on my radar. It's like, that's something I could bring to the table is, uh,
13:04 Steven Rinella? Good to know.
13:05 Speaker 03 I have a nice voice. The acronym ACP stands for Automatic Blank Pistol. I do have buddies that get on my case saying, that's my game show voice that I put on, which I would say is true. Yeah. I'm like, I'm making a game show here for you.
13:20 Speaker 05 I see it. I wanna know.
13:21 Speaker 03 So I gotta put on my game show voice.
13:22 Steven Rinella? You show me. Show me first.
13:24 Speaker 05 I didn't get it.
13:24 Steven Rinella? It's a two-way street. I think this is a great question.
13:27 Speaker 03 Thank you. Uh, good question via Anthony Spine.
13:30 Steven Rinella? Cause I'm not sure.
13:31 Speaker 05 I owned a 45 ACP for a little Bit, never shot it and I sold it.
13:35 Speaker 03 Do you have this one right, Yanni?
13:37 Speaker 05 I don't know.
13:38 Speaker 03 Never shot it like you literally never pulled the trigger?
13:41 Speaker 05 No.
13:41 Speaker 03 Wow.
13:42 Steven Rinella? We've all done that.
13:44 Steven Rinella? I feel like everybody's bought multiple guns they've never shot and then sold them.
13:50 Speaker 05 Yeah, cuz when a year goes by and you haven't shot it, you realize, well, might as well get rid of this one. Not that interesting.
13:56 Speaker 03 I think that's two unique things that have happened to you, Yanni. I feel like people don't get rid of guns that they haven't shot in a year. And they also don't buy a gun that they then don't shoot.
14:08 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
14:09 Speaker 05 Randall, you got anything to say about that?
14:12 Steven Rinella? I just, well.
14:13 Speaker 03 But I also, I don't think Randall's the right person to answer because he's also an unusual guns, gun owner.
14:17 Steven Rinella? Yeah, I mean.
14:18 Speaker 05 Oh, I don't think so. I think he's just a gun nut. I think there's lots of gun nuts out there.
14:23 Steven Rinella? But a real, a real gun nut would say you never sell a gun.
14:26 Speaker 05 Right.
14:27 Steven Rinella? You know, that's, that's like a truism for a lot of the faithful and I can't disagree with that.
14:33 Speaker 03 When's the last time you sold one?
14:41 Steven Rinella? November.
14:42 Speaker 03 Okay. At the, at the height of your arms dealing, how many guns were you selling a year, you think?
14:48 Steven Rinella? I don't want to answer that cuz I do feel like there are legal definitions that you just stuck in there that.
14:57 Steven Rinella? I mean, I like bought and sold in a year.
15:00 Speaker 03 Yeah, moving, moving in and out of your possession.
15:02 Steven Rinella? It can't be, I mean, it can't be that many cuz I.
15:06 Speaker 05 More, more or less than 20.
15:09 Steven Rinella? Like combined in and out, like, like I buy one and I sell one, that counts as two.
15:14 Speaker 03 That counts as two.
15:15 Steven Rinella? Yeah, 20.
15:15 Speaker 03 20, okay.
15:16 Steven Rinella? Like, probably, that's probably close.
15:20 Speaker 05 Yeah.
15:20 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
15:21 Steven Rinella? They're not all, they're not all expensive guns.
15:24 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says compact. Roman says charging. Randall says Colt. Anthony says chambering.
15:35 Speaker 03 Nate says Colt Brody Cycling. The correct answer is Colt Nate and Randall.
15:43 Steven Rinella? Big dog.
15:43 Speaker 03 Got that one right. ACP cartridges were designed by John Browning for Colt semi-auto pistols between 1899 and 1908. Those include the 25 ACP, 32, 380, 38 and 45. According to 2020 data, the 45 ACP is the second most commonly used pistol in bear defense incidents in America. Second to the 44 Magnum and tied with the 357 Magnum. Question three, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Tad or Nato.
16:21 Speaker 03 The blank stream is defined as the quote, warm ocean current flowing in the Atlantic northeastward off the North American coast between North Carolina and Newfoundland.
16:36 Speaker 04 Randall, I got a question about guns.
16:39 Steven Rinella? Sure.
16:39 Speaker 04 So my grandpa's got all these, he died, he gave me a bunch of his guns. They're just like random esoteric, like a 308 Norma.
16:47 Steven Rinella? Hmm.
16:47 Speaker 04 You know?
16:48 Steven Rinella? Interesting.
16:49 Speaker 04 Like, he never shot it.
16:51 Steven Rinella? Mm hmm.
16:51 Speaker 04 I'm never gonna, I don't even know where to buy ammo for it.
16:54 Steven Rinella? It's probably more available than you think.
16:56 Speaker 04 So.
16:57 Speaker 05 Maybe the internet?
16:57 Speaker 04 But I'm not gonna like go out of my way to buy it.
17:00 Steven Rinella? Sure.
17:00 Speaker 04 That was, that was a dumb comment.
17:01 Steven Rinella? Sure.
17:02 Speaker 04 I could find ammo for it. I don't want to. So do I sell it or does it just sit in the safe until I do the same thing to my grandkid?
17:09 Steven Rinella? I would.
17:11 Speaker 04 Are you, are you a collector?
17:12 Steven Rinella? There's two questions.
17:13 Speaker 04 How much do you like $300?
17:15 Steven Rinella? How much did your grandpa love that gun and how much did you love your grandpa?
17:19 Speaker 04 Oh, buddy.
17:20 Steven Rinella? But then the third question is.
17:22 Speaker 05 Something in there that's really worth it?
17:24 Speaker 04 Oh, there's, there's a number that are, I'm not talking about the ones that are really worth anything. I'm talking about the ones that are like, okay, it's nice.
17:31 Steven Rinella? Maybe your grandpa would be happy to see you turn that gun into a gun that you love.
17:36 Speaker 04 He was a hoarder, so I doubt it.
17:38 Steven Rinella? Oh.
17:39 Speaker 04 Not a hoarder, he just. He liked buying nice things.
17:42 Speaker 03 Grandpas are hoarders. You could say he's a hoarder.
17:44 Speaker 04 He was a hoarder.
17:45 Speaker 03 The blank stream is defined as the warm ocean current flowing in the Atlantic northeastward off the North American coast between North Carolina and Newfoundland.
17:57 Steven Rinella? But like, there's a hypothetical in which you're like, grandpa, tell me a story about this gun. And he's like, shit, I don't know. I just, I got it in a trade from something and I don't care about it at all.
18:08 Speaker 04 That's kind of how it goes. Like, he's just like, oh, I just bought it because I had money.
18:12 Steven Rinella? Yeah. So, I don't know.
18:14 Speaker 03 I bet grandpa would like you to take that thousand dollars you'd make off of selling three or four of his guns and buying a new propane grill.
18:22 Steven Rinella? Or another gun.
18:23 Speaker 03 Yeah.
18:23 Speaker 04 That's what I was thinking.
18:24 Speaker 03 Buying a new, a new kitchen table.
18:26 Steven Rinella? I just think of them as reincarnating in other guns. Like, I never get, I never get a new gun. They just transform.
18:32 Speaker 03 Yeah.
18:33 Steven Rinella? You and shouldn't really. They momentarily, like.
18:36 Speaker 04 I like that.
18:36 Steven Rinella? Shift into cash money and then they're.
18:39 Speaker 03 Just a number.
18:39 Steven Rinella? And then they shapeshift again.
18:40 Speaker 05 I feel like this conversation speaks to the weakness of this question that Spencer has.
18:47 Speaker 03 I'm gonna read it one more time. The blank stream is defined as the warm ocean current flowing in the Atlantic northeastward off the North American coast between North Carolina and Newfoundland. Anthony, do you give up? I have one. Okay, Roman, do you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Gulf. Roman, without an answer. Randall, Gulf. Anthony, jet. Nate and Brody say Gulf. The correct answer is the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream carries tropical water from the Gulf to Europe. It varies across its route, but on average, it's 50 miles wide
19:24 Speaker 03 and flows at four miles per hour. The Gulf Stream functions as a river within the ocean, attracting plenty of sea life that uses it as a migratory highway. Phil has a map there for you showing what the Gulf Stream does, where all that water. Well, I think a Gulf Stream, I think is something else. Of a jet.
19:42 Speaker 05 That's right.
19:43 Speaker 03 CEO material.
19:45 Speaker 03 C O O, let's not get greedy.
19:47 Speaker 04 Caught a lot of fish in the old Gulf.
19:49 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah. What what flavor?
19:52 Speaker 04 Mmm, mahi.
19:54 Speaker 05 Elephant tuna.
19:55 Speaker 04 Elephant tuna.
19:58 Speaker 04 What else? Probably some kind of Bonitas.
20:01 Speaker 05 Every morning in the summer, it's like those dudes are racing to get to the Gulf Stream.

I travel quite a bit. And when I'm home, it's very easy to stay on a rigid food routine and eat the right kinds of food at the right time. But when you're on the road, it's hard to stay in your routine and like diet can really start to fall apart. I've seen it.

A thing we do in our, in our little fleet of vehicles that have in my household, if you go look, open the door on any one of them, they all got WeatherTech. We get a car, we throw the mats out and put in WeatherTech. That way, when there's a mess, it's like your kid's fault, your dog's fault, it's the weather's fault, doesn't matter. You take them suckers out and hose them off and you're back to being
22:23 Speaker 04 good as new. I'm telling you, if you got a vehicle, put WeatherTech in there, you're gonna be happy you did it. And check this out, American-made floor liners and cargo liners, okay? They laugh in the face of all weather. Go take a look for yourself today at weathertech.com.
22:39 Speaker 03 Question for the topic is gear. This brand, which is named after an animal, uses the slogan, hydrate or die.
22:51 Speaker 03 This brand, which is named after an animal, uses the slogan hydrate or die.
23:00 Speaker 05 What was the, the index today?
23:02 Speaker 03 A four. So, I think in our winner, we get eight correct. You think that's high or low, Brody?
23:07 Speaker 05 I think it's low.
23:08 Speaker 03 Okay.
23:11 Speaker 05 Don't you have a perfect game going?
23:13 Steven Rinella? Yeah, but I had a perfect game going last week until the sixth question.
23:18 Speaker 03 This brand, which is
23:19 Steven Rinella? When my day fell apart.
23:20 Speaker 03 An animal.
23:21 Speaker 05 I thought you won that week.
23:22 Speaker 03 Uses the slogan hydrate or die.
23:26 Speaker 05 You gotta, you gotta be happy with that, Randall.
23:29 Steven Rinella? I am happy. I am happy with that.
23:31 Speaker 03 We have six whiteboards down. Roman, do you have an answer?
23:35 Speaker 05 You had your major out first?
23:36 Steven Rinella? Yeah, that was one of them.
23:37 Speaker 05 Just lost control?
23:37 Steven Rinella? That was one of them.
23:38 Speaker 05 Oh yeah, how were the comments about that?
23:40 Steven Rinella? I didn't want to get into it. I was waiting for Spencer to bring it up. They're overwhelmingly in support of me.
23:48 Speaker 03 That doesn't mean it's right.
23:49 Steven Rinella? I've gotten emails from agronomists. Roman can speak to this.
23:52 Speaker 03 I've gotten emails from English experts.
23:57 Speaker 05 Ooh.
23:57 Speaker 03 Saying that I'm correct.
23:59 Steven Rinella? This is an expert witness.
24:00 Speaker 03 We could, we could dredge it up next week, Randall, if you like.
24:03 Steven Rinella? There's another guy that just called me a name that Roman thought was very funny.
24:08 Speaker 04 I got a spicy one last night about you. I don't know if I should share. Oh, spicy like, ooh spicy.
24:13 Steven Rinella? About me?
24:14 Speaker 04 Pretty unhappy, yeah.
24:15 Speaker 05 You mean?
24:16 Steven Rinella? Yeah.
24:17 Speaker 04 The germinate.
24:18 Speaker 05 Question really got.
24:19 Steven Rinella? Got people fired up. I know. I know. When I, when I started this job, I didn't realize how many people would want me dead.
24:27 Steven Rinella? And tell me that. I didn't realize I'd wake up on Sunday mornings and there'd be a message on my phone and I'd just open it up and it was like.
24:36 Steven Rinella? I hate you.
24:38 Speaker 03 This brand.
24:39 Speaker 05 That's terrible, Randall.
24:40 Speaker 03 In public now, Randall. Named after an animal.
24:42 Steven Rinella? No, no. I also think there's a misconception that like this, this is how I behave at a Christmas dinner with my in-laws.
24:50 Speaker 05 Yeah.
24:50 Steven Rinella? Like, part of the whole thing here is that. Uh, like, I could sit here and just be quiet. That's no fun.
24:56 Speaker 03 You're entertaining, folks.
24:57 Steven Rinella? Yeah.
24:58 Speaker 03 Yeah.
24:59 Speaker 05 But I, I would imagine that you do behave like this at Christmas dinner.
25:05 Steven Rinella? Maybe after a couple.
25:06 Speaker 05 Drinks in it.
25:07 Steven Rinella? After a couple.
25:07 Speaker 03 At breakfast, he wouldn't, but dinner, maybe.
25:11 Steven Rinella? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:12 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers.
25:14 Steven Rinella? Couple noggs.
25:15 Speaker 03 Yanni and Roman say Camelback.
25:18 Steven Rinella? Oh, no!
25:19 Speaker 05 What an error!
25:20 Speaker 03 Platypus.
25:21 Steven Rinella? Oh!
25:22 Speaker 03 Anthony says Gatorade. Nate and Brody say Camelback. The correct answer is Camelback.
25:27 Steven Rinella? Oh, he stumbles.
25:28 Speaker 05 It's a game now.
25:29 Speaker 03 Camelback was founded in 1989 after Michael Edson filled an IV bag with water and placed it in a tube sock that was worn on his back. Their products are commonly used by hikers, bikers, and the military, but despite their name, it's a myth that camels store water in their humps, which are actually made of fat. Question five. Topic is woodsmanship. This next great question.
25:54 Speaker 05 We're not gonna linger on the tube sock in the IV bag?
25:56 Speaker 03 I mean, that's just clever design. Well done by, uh, Michael.
26:00 Speaker 05 He must have wore like a sling, I guess.
26:02 Speaker 03 He wore it on a jersey and I don't know if he was doing a marathon. Um, that was the OG Camelback, an IV bag and a tube sock. Question five, the topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Adam Curry. This eight-letter word is defined as, quote, "The period of time before sunrise and after sunset in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated."
26:29 Speaker 03 Randall, this definition is via the National Weather Service, if you'd like to argue with them.
26:34 Steven Rinella? I didn't say anything.
26:37 Speaker 03 No, I know. Well, I was just making it known.
26:39 Speaker 04 Oh, man.
26:40 Speaker 03 This eight-letter word is defined as the period of time before sunrise and after sunset in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated.
26:50 Speaker 04 Got some good flavor text for ya.
26:52 Speaker 03 Oh, okay. Nate had a quick answer, and then he went back to his whiteboard. Did you change your answer?
26:55 Speaker 04 No, I just wanted to prove how much I know about this.
26:58 Speaker 03 Got it. Okay.
26:58 Steven Rinella? Keep your mouth shut now.
27:00 Speaker 04 Thank you.
27:02 Speaker 04 Good advice.
27:02 Steven Rinella? This is a tough day for me.
27:06 Steven Rinella? I don't know if I have this right.
27:08 Speaker 03 Okay. Brody confident. Randall quickly put his whiteboard down. Yanni still thinking. Roman with a blank whiteboard. Nate adding even more.
27:17 Speaker 04 No, I was just, I missed the eight-letter part, just checking.
27:19 Speaker 03 Eight-letter word is defined as the period of time before sunrise and after sunset in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated.
27:28 Steven Rinella? See, Nate's thing about adding more information to show how much he knows is throwing me off, because I don't, my answer, I feel like I couldn't add to it. I don't know what there is to say that's interesting about this word.
27:40 Speaker 03 Okay. We'll just let Nate give us the flavor text on this one. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this.
27:53 Speaker 03 Yanni, do you have this one right? Uh, not yet. Okay. Do you have an eight-letter word down? Not yet. Eight-letter word, the period of time before sunrise and after sunset in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated.
28:09 Steven Rinella? Can you send me that email?
28:15 Steven Rinella? Please?
28:19 Speaker 04 I'm gonna write like a nicer one and show you.
28:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, Roman's going to edit the email.
28:24 Steven Rinella? No, no, I wanna see it.
28:26 Speaker 04 It's kinda interesting. You're kinda like a... Like a therapist, you're like screening, you're controlling how people think about themselves. It's a weird position to be in, yeah. Particularly with this individual to my left. Does he get a lot? We share a wall. It's nice.
28:41 Steven Rinella? Yeah. Roman shares a wall with me and the men's restroom.
28:45 Speaker 04 The floor full of dudes. Which one, which one has more flatulence coming out?
28:49 Speaker 05 Restroom like, I wonder if Roman can hear.
28:52 Steven Rinella? Oh, I always check for, I make sure he has got earbuds in.
28:54 Speaker 03 Yeah. Uh, the past owner of that office was always wearing headphones, Roman, 24/7, I think for a reason.
29:02 Speaker 04 I don't blame her.
29:06 Steven Rinella? This is a good guy here. The best.
29:08 Speaker 03 Yanni, do you give up? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says Elpin, Roman says Blue Hour, Randall says Twilight, Anthony says Legal Shooting, Nate says Twilight, and Brody says Twilight. The correct answer is Twilight. Nate, take it away.
29:30 Speaker 04 Uh, BMNT and ENT are the technical terms for those before and after, like for morning and night. I can't remember what they stand, I think it's before morning nautical twilight or something like that. And I can't remember what the ENT is.
29:44 Speaker 03 There is Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight, and Astronomical Twilight. Civil Twilight starts or ends when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon. This varies by location, but generally it lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. Nautical Twilight begins or ends at 12 degrees below the horizon. And Astronomical Twilight is 18 degrees. Twilight is when pouscular animals such as deer and bear are most active.
30:11 Speaker 04 And when the Indians attack.
30:12 Speaker 05 Hard, getting to that point in life where it's hard to find them through the glass at that time of day. They gotta be moving.
30:20 Speaker 03 Favorite time to be hunting a deer. All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.
30:26 Speaker 04 Oh. Uh, he's not as good at trivia as he is at all staff meetings. Anthony has zero points on the board. Big numbers guy. Coming up next is Roman with two, Yannis Patelos has three, Randall and Brody are tied with four. He's got.
30:41 Speaker 03 A perfect game at halftime. It's Nate Mason with five points.
30:45 Steven Rinella? First time ever.
30:47 Steven Rinella? I'm gonna crash and burn. I always do this.
30:49 Speaker 05 I'm putting on my rally cap. I'm gonna tie Nate.
30:53 Steven Rinella? Probably.
30:55 Speaker 03 That would be dramatic. Question six. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Adam Hamilton. Some populations of koalas have a 100% infection rate of this STD.
31:14 Speaker 03 Brody, Randall, Nate, all quick to answer. Some populations of koalas have a 100% infection rate of this STD. Nate, is this gonna keep the perfect game going?
31:29 Speaker 04 I feel like I've heard this, but I don't think it's right.
31:33 Speaker 03 Does that seem like an STD that koalas would have?
31:38 Speaker 03 I don't know. I'm just running through STDs in my head and trying to picture a koala with one.
31:42 Steven Rinella? Try to remember what the lab said after my trip to Australia.
31:46 Speaker 03 Some populations of koalas have a 100%.
31:49 Speaker 05 What was the category here?
31:52 Steven Rinella? Conservation.
31:54 Speaker 05 Okay.
31:55 Speaker 03 I'll tell you about it in the flavor text. Do you have this one right, Brody?
31:59 Speaker 05 Tell me about it all you want.
32:01 Speaker 03 Do you have this one right, Brody?
32:02 Speaker 05 Hmm, I'm not sure. I think so, but you know, there's a lot of STDs out there, Spencer. Does spelling matter?
32:09 Speaker 03 No, spelling does not matter. Some populations of koalas have a 100% infection rate of this STD.
32:19 Speaker 05 Everyone got an answer? No. I want to ask a question when everyone does.
32:25 Speaker 05 Change their answer after I ask my question.
32:27 Speaker 03 Nate has picked up his whiteboard, I think. 100%? Some populations have a 100%. I think I saw there was a general, uh, large scale area where they found that it was like 68%, but there's some populations within that area that have a 100% infection rate.
32:47 Speaker 04 I feel like I used to know more STDs. And they're popping into my head right.
32:50 Speaker 05 Well, I think back in your twenties, thirties.
32:55 Steven Rinella? Yeah, I wish I could just come up with like an old timey sailors term for this, but I no one's not coming to mind. Also, I don't know if I got it right. So.
33:03 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready? What would you like to ask Brody?
33:06 Speaker 05 Is it the same one that got Al Capone?
33:09 Speaker 03 I don't know the answer to that.
33:10 Speaker 04 Oh, that's what I got.
33:12 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says gonorrhea. Roman says hepatitis B. Randall says herpes.
33:21 Speaker 04 Spanning the gamut here.
33:22 Speaker 03 Anthony says syphilis. Wow, four different STDs so far. Nate says syphilis. Brody wrote down syphilis, but went with herpes instead. The correct answer is chlamydia. Oh. Nobody got that one right.
33:39 Speaker 04 It has to be passed down by the mom. Like it has to be.
33:43 Speaker 03 I, I think there is, I don't have this in my flavor text, but I think it's like sexually transmitted for koalas as well as through some fecal matter. Um, and so I think the young can get it via fecal matter.
33:54 Speaker 04 Got it.
33:55 Speaker 03 Koalas are listed as an endangered species, Brody, across much of their range with the primary cause of population decline being habitat loss. Chlamydia is also a factor which can cause blindness, bladder inflammation, infertility and death. It's thought that chlamydia jumped from domestic livestock to koalas sometime in the 1800s. Uh, if you listen to Snipe Hunter, the album by Tyler Childers.
34:20 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah.
34:21 Speaker 03 And like the first four, uh, first, first four verses of that song, he talks about, do they have chlamydia or do they have syphilis? I can't remember.
34:29 Speaker 04 What's stopping them from just giving them a bunch of doxy and clean that all up?
34:32 Speaker 03 Don't, don't have the answer to that one.
34:34 Speaker 04 Wow.
34:35 Speaker 03 Um, I think I, I think I'm just riffing again here. I think I saw something about some of the antibiotics. Make it hard for them to digest whatever they eat, which is eucalyptus. Um, so it's just like fixing one problem, but creating.
34:49 Speaker 05 Oh, it kills their gut microbes probably.
34:51 Speaker 04 Oh, definitely.
34:52 Speaker 05 They need for, makes sense.
34:54 Speaker 04 Hmm.
34:54 Steven Rinella? Careful riffing, gentlemen. That's 15 emails it just cost us right there.
34:58 Speaker 03 Question seven. The topic is cooking. This bright orange mushroom that grows on trees is also known as a sulfur shelf.
35:11 Speaker 03 And the room is stopped. This bright orange mushroom that grows on trees is also known as a sulfur shelf. We had a zero percenter for question six, may have a zero percenter for question seven. Brody thought the Shelby index was too low.
35:33 Speaker 03 This bright orange mushroom that grows on trees is also known as a sulfur shelf.
35:47 Steven Rinella? So koalas, huh?
35:49 Speaker 03 Nate came up with an answer right away. He's now changing it. Yanni, do you have this one right?
35:57 Speaker 05 I have an answer.
35:58 Speaker 03 Okay, is it a bright orange mushroom?
36:00 Speaker 05 Yes.
36:01 Speaker 03 It's bright orange mushroom that grows on trees is also known as a sulfur shelf. Nate, do you have this one right?
36:08 Speaker 04 No, I've got a guess. Like, it makes sense how I got there, but I don't think it's right.
36:14 Speaker 03 Okay. How many mushrooms do you think you could name Nate if you had to?
36:19 Speaker 04 Just random?
36:20 Speaker 03 Well, like, ones you'd maybe find out in the woods, not ones you'd find in the grocery store.
36:24 Speaker 04 Yeah, probably like 10, 5.
36:27 Speaker 03 That's a good start.
36:28 Speaker 04 Is that a lot, or is that not a lot? That's a lot.
36:30 Steven Rinella? It's a lot. Seems like a lot to me.
36:32 Speaker 04 Okay.
36:32 Speaker 05 Yeah, I was only gonna say four or five for myself.
36:35 Speaker 04 Maybe too many. We should do this afterwards. I'd rather not.
36:39 Speaker 03 This bright orange mushroom that grows on trees.
36:41 Speaker 05 We should also do the, uh, the dead hang. You ever do that? Just hang from the bar? I didn't know this, but someone was telling me the other day that if you can go two minutes as a adult male, you're in excellent condition.
36:53 Speaker 04 That's a long time. To just hang from like a monkey bar? Dude, but I struggle with those, like, I suck at all body weight stuff because I'm tall and long. So like, some, like, Brody's gonna be able to hang there for half an hour. Because he, what do you weigh, like 160, 570 pounds?
37:11 Speaker 04 Less? That's my whole point. Yeah, he's keeping it tight.
37:15 Speaker 05 But my point is you got way bigger muscles than me.
37:17 Speaker 04 Definitely not.
37:18 Speaker 05 Yeah.
37:19 Steven Rinella? Make a T-shirt, Brody, keeping it tight.
37:22 Speaker 05 Nothing wrong with that.
37:23 Speaker 04 But that is, that would be a good, that's a hard, that's a hard thing to do.
37:26 Speaker 05 Two minutes hanging.
37:27 Speaker 04 We should do that as one of our daily little things, just how many seconds you can, minutes you can.
37:32 Steven Rinella? Yeah.
37:32 Speaker 05 How about for the all-company meeting? Oh, yeah.
37:35 Speaker 03 That'll spice it up.
37:36 Speaker 04 Yeah.
37:36 Speaker 05 Slide three.
37:38 Steven Rinella? I told you you're good at meetings.
37:40 Speaker 03 Nate is going to, uh, he's gonna go-
37:42 Speaker 05 Ask that question again, Spencer, I gotta think some more.
37:44 Speaker 03 This bright orange mushroom that grows on trees is also known as a sulfur shell. Nate's gonna add that to his daily routine. Every day he goes to the meatdeater.com and he plays whatever recent game he's put up there, even if he's already played it, he goes back and he plays it all.
37:57 Speaker 05 Orange or not?
37:58 Speaker 03 And then he hangs on a bar.
38:00 Speaker 04 I've, I, I've stopped playing Wordle in like the New York games, and I just play the Meat Eater games now.
38:05 Speaker 03 Okay.
38:05 Speaker 04 And it's not even like a thing I'm doing, it's just like, Wordle's just kinda dead to me.
38:08 Speaker 03 Company man.
38:10 Speaker 04 Company man.
38:10 Speaker 03 Nate is a company man.
38:11 Speaker 05 Is that good training, you think, for trivia, playing your games online?
38:14 Speaker 03 I would say it, it would help, yeah. Uh, but you're not gonna walk in here and just be Randall one day, because you play those games.
38:21 Speaker 05 You never know.
38:21 Steven Rinella? You'd have to go through a lot more traumatic experiences, to sit where I'm sitting.
38:26 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Chicken of the Woods. Roman says-
38:33 Speaker 04 Nothing.
38:33 Speaker 03 Chantrelle. Randy, without an answer. Anthony, Chicken of the Woods. Let's go. Nate says Lion's Mane. Brody says Toadstool. The correct answer is Chicken of the Woods.
38:46 Speaker 05 I'm the smartest man alive.
38:48 Speaker 03 Anthony and Yanni got that one right.
38:51 Speaker 05 He's back.
38:52 Steven Rinella? He's back, baby.
38:53 Speaker 03 Chicken of the Woods is one of the foolproof four mushrooms, which means it's easy to identify. They grow in a stacked formation on trees in the spring and summer and are easy to see with their traffic cone colors. For a great Chicken of the Woods recipe, go read Lucas Leaf's article on the meatdeater.com called Chicken of the Woods Tacos.
39:12 Speaker 05 I'm so proud. The sulfur shell thing.
39:14 Steven Rinella? That's really good.
39:15 Speaker 03 Sulfur shell.
39:16 Speaker 05 They just sound like something that's not out there.
39:18 Steven Rinella? Is the toadstool thing?
39:20 Speaker 05 Boat still? Yeah. But I don't even think it's a mushroom. I think it's like some other kind of fungus.
39:25 Steven Rinella? Gotcha. There's a word popped in my head, but then I was like, isn't that, I thought it was maybe just a catchall term.
39:29 Speaker 05 Stool, shelf, you know, same thing.
39:31 Speaker 03 There's a picture of a chicken of the woods I found while hanging trail cameras in South Dakota in 2014.
39:38 Speaker 05 Was that mouse shit on that thing?
39:39 Speaker 03 Um, it was not mouse shit. I think it was some sort of insect remnants that were left there. Uh, but I took those home and ate them.

42:16 Speaker 04 Is this like a brand? Is this like a?
42:19 Speaker 03 It's a kind. It's a type. This type of fishing line changes color every 10 yards and has a flexible metal center. Geez. Brody, do you have this one right?
42:33 Speaker 05 I think so.
42:35 Speaker 03 Okay.
42:35 Speaker 05 I mean.
42:36 Speaker 03 The metal center is gonna throw me off. Randall scribbled something. Do you think you have this one, Randall?
42:43 Speaker 04 No, I, I feel like I have the answer in there somewhere, but I don't think it's gonna.
42:49 Speaker 03 This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Put the pressure on.
42:55 Speaker 05 You aren't much of an angler, are you Nate?
42:57 Speaker 04 Ah, I've been told that before.
42:59 Speaker 03 Nate's worst category in, in meteor trivia, I learned as I was gathering stats. I think it's the only one where you're below 50%.
43:07 Speaker 04 What's the, what's my next lowest? I bet it's like a 20% gap.
43:10 Speaker 03 I think it's conservation. I think it's, uh, I think. The STD category.
43:16 Speaker 03 This type of fishing line changes color every 10 yards and has a flexible metal center.
43:21 Speaker 05 Oh, I forgot to ask, did you see a big bump in, uh, traffic on, on your website?
43:27 Speaker 04 I still don't know how to check that. We, I'll tell you guys afterwards, but there's a, there's a whole mess of. Turns out websites are hard.
43:36 Speaker 04 But she's back up. She's back up. Six people went to it and it crashed?
43:40 Speaker 03 What's your website?
43:42 Speaker 04 Kind of.
43:43 Steven Rinella? We shouldn't get into this now, but I'm so intrigued by this.
43:47 Speaker 04 Uh, my buddy at Onyx helped me fix it, so we're good.
43:50 Steven Rinella? I always thought I wanted a website.
43:52 Speaker 04 You don't. It causes all sorts of problems.
43:54 Steven Rinella? Yeah, but that's how you
43:56 Speaker 04 How you learn.
43:56 Steven Rinella? Become powerful.
43:57 Speaker 03 Nate bought a domain for how many dollars?
44:00 Speaker 04 One dollar.
44:01 Speaker 03 One whole dollar.
44:01 Speaker 04 For a year.
44:02 Speaker 03 And it will help you determine if you should shoot TSS for turkeys or not.
44:06 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah. If you went to the website and it was down, this is why.
44:10 Speaker 03 Okay.
44:10 Speaker 04 But it's back up.
44:11 Speaker 03 What's the URL?
44:12 Steven Rinella? Someone else wants to help you. Remind me to send you that email.
44:14 Speaker 04 I think, which one? What's his name?
44:16 Steven Rinella? I don't know. I got a handful about it.
44:18 Speaker 04 I think we had a guy write in. This is, so this is the thing. We'll talk about it later.
44:24 Speaker 03 This type of fishing line changes color every 10 yards and has a flexible metal center.
44:30 Speaker 04 That's a Steve special.
44:32 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
44:32 Speaker 04 Actually, we'll talk about it later.
44:34 Speaker 03 Anthony? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying sinking fly line, Roman, transitional, Randy, monochore, Anthony, leader, Nate, lead core, Brody, lead core. They got it. The correct answer is lead core.
44:54 Speaker 04 No way, dude. Let's go.
44:56 Speaker 03 Lead core line is designed to get lures deep without the use of heavy weight. It's most commonly used by anglers who are trolling for walleye, lake trout, or salmon. The lead center is usually wrapped with nylon braid that changes color every 30 feet, which tells fishermen how much line they've let out.
45:14 Steven Rinella? Is monochore?
45:15 Speaker 03 Monochore. I don't think so. I'll Google it while Phil gives us a scoreboard.
45:20 Steven Rinella? I just want like a half-hearted Google. I don't feel strongly, but I thought it was.
45:25 Speaker 04 I'll give you a half-hearted scoreboard update. Anthony's on the board with one.
45:29 Speaker 03 Hell, yeah.
45:30 Steven Rinella? And that was a hard one.
45:31 Speaker 04 Roman's still hanging on there with two points. Yanis and Randall are up next. They're tied up four. Brody has five and still in the first place position with six points is Nate. Not much of an angler, they say.
45:45 Speaker 03 Monocore is a thing. It looks like it's used on spay rods. It's called monocore shooting line.
45:52 Speaker 05 Phil's math, right?
45:54 Speaker 04 Yeah. Dude, I've been smoking it, man. It's because I'm in the pocket of big lead. Brody, you're always doubting me back here. The first couple of times, you know, I let it slide. I'm starting to get a little prickly about it.
46:03 Speaker 05 It's okay. I'm not gonna stop doing it.
46:05 Speaker 04 Okay.
46:06 Speaker 03 Two questions, man.
46:07 Speaker 04 Glad we can agree on this relationship.
46:09 Speaker 03 Nate is just, mm. Question nine.
46:12 Steven Rinella? Brody, I keep score over here. See? That one little slash?
46:16 Speaker 03 Question nine, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Chris Hyon. Terry Blank, whose paintings often feature ducks and deer, was named America's most popular artist by US Art Magazine every year from 1991 to 1998.
46:38 Speaker 04 Wow. That's a heck of a run.
46:40 Speaker 03 The room is stumped. This could be a zero percenter. Terry Blank, whose paintings often feature ducks and deer, was named America's most popular artist by US Art Magazine every year from 1991 to 1998. Nate, do you have this one right?
47:00 Speaker 04 I only know one famous Terry.
47:02 Speaker 03 Okay. Anthony, you think you have this one right?
47:05 Speaker 04 And I'd be shocked if he painted ducks and deers.
47:08 Speaker 05 I think we have the same Terry.
47:11 Speaker 05 Me three.
47:11 Speaker 03 Brody is slouched over in a position that seems to indicate he knows it but can't find it.
47:17 Speaker 04 Yeah.
47:19 Speaker 03 Is that right, Brody?
47:21 Speaker 04 If it's who I think it is.
47:23 Steven Rinella? This is a diverse, like, round. There's a lot of different questions in here.
47:27 Speaker 03 Terry Blank, whose paintings often feature ducks and deer, was named America's most popular artist by US Art Magazine every year from 1991 to 1998.
47:41 Speaker 05 We're thinking the same.
47:42 Speaker 04 We gotta be.
47:43 Speaker 03 You guys could just show each other.
47:44 Speaker 05 No, no, I don't like that.
47:46 Speaker 04 Do you want to look at mine?
47:47 Speaker 05 Nope.
47:48 Speaker 03 What a dynasty Terry Blank had, uh, every year from 1991 to 1998.
47:53 Steven Rinella? Oh, shoot.
47:54 Speaker 04 I think I gotta change.
47:57 Speaker 05 Spelling?
47:57 Speaker 04 No.
47:58 Speaker 05 Does spelling matter?
47:58 Steven Rinella? Shelby indexes. Might win.
48:02 Speaker 03 We've got Nate leading with six right now, two questions left. Terry Blank, whose paintings often feature ducks and deer, was named America's most popular artist by US Art Magazine every year from 91 to 98. Roman, do you have an answer?
48:19 Speaker 05 I have an answer. I think I'm being impacted by, uh, recent cultural. Things.
48:25 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
48:26 Speaker 05 Recent? No, we don't have the same person.
48:28 Speaker 04 Wait, wait. I found the second Terry I know.
48:31 Speaker 03 Oh, wow.
48:33 Steven Rinella? I think your answer, Roman. Is a popular barbecue chain.
48:40 Speaker 03 I don't even know.
48:41 Speaker 04 Give it up, man.
48:44 Speaker 05 Now I'm really curious to see Roman.
48:45 Speaker 03 I'm excited to see all these answers.
48:46 Speaker 04 Now I'm questioning if I got the right, if he's actually a Terry.
48:50 Speaker 03 Brody, did you come up with Terry Blank?
48:52 Steven Rinella? Another Terry, but it's definitely not this one.
48:54 Speaker 03 Do you have a Terry Blank?
48:55 Speaker 05 I think so.
48:56 Speaker 03 Oh, do you think you have this one right?
48:57 Speaker 05 No.
48:58 Speaker 03 Oh, okay. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanis says Blanchard. Roman says Black. Randy says O'Toole. Anthony says Drury. Nate says Bradshaw. Brody, without an answer. The correct answer is Redlin. Nobody got that one right. Terry Redlin.
49:23 Speaker 05 I thought you were putting that.
49:24 Speaker 03 Terry Redlin was born and raised in Watertown, South Dakota, where his museum is located today. His work often focuses on rural America showcasing wildlife and nature. He won the Minnesota Duck Stamp Contest twice and the Minnesota Trout Stamp Contest once and was named their Conservationist of the Year in 1986. His art donations to Ducks Unlimited have raised 28 million dollars.
49:49 Speaker 04 Wow.
49:50 Speaker 03 Some pictures there of some famous work.
49:52 Speaker 05 Go back to that turkey one. Since it's turkey season. Oh, yeah, that gets me excited.
49:57 Speaker 03 Picture of, uh, some strut and gobblers. And, uh, there's, uh, some geese in flight. Most of his paintings, here's a callback, are done at twilight. Oh. Ayo. Wildlife. He's got some geese.
50:09 Steven Rinella? Otherwise known as illegal shooting.
50:12 Speaker 04 Was he a hunter? You know?
50:14 Speaker 03 Um, I think he was a hunter. And again, he, he won the Minnesota Conservationist of the Year Award in 1986. And has raised 28 million dollars for Ducks Unlimited.
50:24 Steven Rinella? Can we go back to that combine scene?
50:26 Speaker 03 That one is called Sunset Harvest that he has of a nice whitetail buck watching.
50:32 Steven Rinella? Oh, yeah.
50:33 Speaker 03 Some corn.
50:33 Speaker 04 Oh.
50:35 Steven Rinella? Yeah. If I think it's you know, I don't know what will. When I see a painting in that style, I assume there's like a 99% likelihood that the guy's a hunter.
50:43 Speaker 03 Yes. Alright, here's a correct answer review so far. One was Joshua Tree National Park does not have elk. Two is ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. Three Gulf Stream. Four Camelback. Five Twilight. Six Chlamydia. Seven Chicken of the Woods. Eight Lead Core Fishing Line. Nine Terry Redlin Phil.
51:05 Steven Rinella? God, I should have had chlamydia.
51:07 Speaker 03 More scoreboard update. More question 10.
51:09 Speaker 04 It's down to Nate and Brody. Hmm. Brody Roman has five points. Nate has six.
51:15 Speaker 03 A tough.
51:15 Steven Rinella? Stand your ground, Nate.
51:16 Speaker 04 Thank you, sir.
51:17 Speaker 03 Question 10, the topic is hunting. How many coat colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club?
51:27 Speaker 04 Oh, we haven't had this yet.
51:28 Steven Rinella? We've had this before.
51:29 Speaker 03 We've not, we've not had this.
51:31 Steven Rinella? I was here.
51:32 Speaker 03 Had similar questions. Maybe we've had it.
51:35 Speaker 04 No.
51:35 Speaker 03 If I've had, if we've had it before, then everyone should get it right.
51:38 Speaker 04 There was a different kennel club question.
51:39 Steven Rinella? I know there's one that was in the same lane.
51:43 Speaker 03 Everybody should get this one right then. Yanni?
51:46 Speaker 04 Not me.
51:47 Speaker 03 How many coat colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club?
51:57 Speaker 03 Son of a fuck. How many Labrador Retrievers do you own, Randall?
52:02 Speaker 04 Three.
52:03 Speaker 03 Three.
52:03 Speaker 02 How many coat colors?
52:05 Speaker 03 Two coat colors.
52:07 Speaker 02 Don't give away too much.
52:09 Speaker 04 They're not, I didn't say they're recognized by the AKC.
52:11 Speaker 03 Ooh.
52:15 Speaker 02 I hope, I'm rooting for Brody because I want to do that overtime question.
52:18 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
52:18 Speaker 02 It's a number one.
52:19 Speaker 03 Going to overtime in a little while.
52:22 Speaker 04 I don't think I've ever won not in overtime.
52:24 Speaker 03 Hmm. Nate, if you just get this one right.
52:27 Speaker 04 You won before Nate? Couple times.
52:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, he'll have the outright victory. You don't want to go to overtime with Brody, though, that's what they say.
52:33 Speaker 04 I know, he's.
52:35 Speaker 03 Nate's CBD.
52:36 Speaker 02 You know this Roman?
52:37 Steven Rinella? Certified big dog.
52:38 Speaker 04 It's, it's the recognized part that's getting me.
52:41 Speaker 03 How many coat colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club?
52:47 Speaker 04 You feel good, Toner?
52:48 Speaker 02 Yeah, strong to very strong.
52:52 Speaker 03 Are there other lab owners?
52:53 Speaker 04 Do you own one?
52:54 Speaker 02 Nope.
52:54 Speaker 03 No.
52:55 Steven Rinella? I've been looking hard at puppies. Real hard.
52:59 Speaker 03 Really? Where do you draw the line, you think? What's the number?
53:02 Steven Rinella? I don't know, I'm just doing the math.
53:04 Speaker 03 Okay.
53:04 Steven Rinella? I'm not a... Whatever you call the people that work for insurance companies.
53:09 Speaker 04 Actuary.
53:09 Steven Rinella? I'm not an actuary.
53:10 Speaker 02 That would be a good question.
53:11 Steven Rinella? I've got two 11-year-old labs and a six-year-old lab.
53:14 Speaker 03 Ah, okay.
53:15 Steven Rinella? So I can forecast the future. And I wouldn't want my six-year-old lab to be the sole influence on the next addition to our pack.
53:23 Speaker 05 How do you think it would make those old ones feel if you knew you were already thinking about their replacements?
53:28 Steven Rinella? They're wise old grandmothers, they know everything.
53:31 Speaker 03 They've seen Randall's game before. They probably came in and were tutored by some old lab as well.
53:37 Steven Rinella? Yeah.
53:39 Speaker 04 Having dog sit, I agree.
53:41 Steven Rinella? Yeah, Roman knows.
53:43 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
53:44 Speaker 02 Roman, you do dog sitting?
53:46 Speaker 04 I do.
53:46 Steven Rinella? Only for good dogs.
53:47 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying three, Roman four, Randy three, Anthony four, Nate four. Brody had four, but he went with three. Correct answer.
54:05 Speaker 03 Is three. Oh, baby.
54:07 Speaker 05 Brody got it right.
54:08 Speaker 04 I was gonna offer a hint.
54:10 Speaker 03 To overtime. Those three coat colors are black, yellow, and chocolate. If a Labrador is what breeders refer to as fox red, then it's lumped in with yellow labs. And for silver labs, they get grouped with chocolate labs. AKC says that color is no indication of character and that it's just a myth that yellow labs are the laziest, or that black labs are the best hunters.
54:34 Speaker 05 Man, I, I think I'd put a hundred bucks down on the table to say that we had that exact question.
54:40 Speaker 03 We could've.
54:41 Speaker 05 I think we did.
54:42 Speaker 03 But then you all should've got that one right.
54:44 Speaker 05 I think I wrote down four because of the... I think I got it right.
54:47 Speaker 03 I questioned if I had it before and I searched hard and I couldn't find it in my doc.
54:51 Steven Rinella? Here's the trick, you just think, how many real colors of lab are there?
54:54 Speaker 04 What's the deal with those field bred retrievers? Those red little ones running around?
54:59 Steven Rinella? I don't, I don't know anything about dogs.
55:00 Speaker 03 Anything called fox red is lumped in.
55:02 Steven Rinella? Black labs, yellow labs, and chocolate labs.
55:04 Speaker 05 My buddy was just looking at silvers, so I, that's why I was like... That's what I thought was four, I thought silver.
55:09 Speaker 03 And I think they get, uh, like, a silver is either a chocolate, or maybe it's just a Weimaraner.
55:14 Speaker 04 Hmm.
55:15 Speaker 03 Alright, we're heading to overtime. Play the drop, Phil.
55:19 Speaker 05 A Weimaraner.
55:20 Speaker 03 Yeah.
55:21 Speaker 04 That's way different.
55:24 Speaker 03 For the overtime topic, we will do a fishing question.
55:28 Speaker 04 Aww.
55:29 Speaker 03 And this will be numerical, so whoever is closest between Nate and Brody will be declared the winner. How many miles long is the Mississippi River?
55:41 Speaker 05 A lot.
55:43 Speaker 03 Brody feels like he's playing with house money over there. He's humming a nice little tune to himself. As Nate breaks out of his sweat. Everyone's gonna do it, because if somebody gets it right on the nose, we will add an extra one hundred dollars to today's donation. That would be the most impressive overtime strike ever. If you got this one right on the money. How many miles long is the Mississippi River?
56:08 Speaker 04 We had a tour of the Museum of the Rockies.
56:11 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
56:11 Speaker 04 Oh, you were on it.
56:12 Speaker 03 I was there.
56:14 Speaker 04 This is an interesting little tidbit for listeners. The Mississippi River is where, like, today's animals will turn into fossils a bajillion years from now.
56:21 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm. They liked, uh, the delta location specifically where it's the gulf.
56:27 Speaker 03 How many miles long is the Mississippi River?
56:30 Steven Rinella? Great question.
56:31 Speaker 03 Whoever is closest between Nate and Brody will be today's winner. After a hard fought round where someone's gonna come out victorious with six correct answers.
56:44 Steven Rinella? It's simple. Just think about where it starts, where it ends, and then add in the zigzag.
56:48 Speaker 04 See, this is the worst part. This isn't even a fishing question. I should know this and I have no idea.
56:52 Speaker 05 It's more of a geography question.
56:53 Speaker 04 That's what I'm saying. Like, I can't even give my fishing is lame cop out thing.
56:57 Steven Rinella? I think this is just a category of America.
57:00 Speaker 04 Right.
57:01 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
57:02 Speaker 04 No, give me one sec.
57:03 Speaker 03 Okay. He's nervous. Brody is not going to change his answer. How many digits do you have down, Nate?
57:10 Speaker 04 Oh, don't. So far, one.
57:12 Speaker 03 Okay.
57:12 Speaker 05 Come on.
57:13 Speaker 03 One.
57:13 Speaker 05 Let him write his answer down.
57:16 Speaker 03 How many miles long is the Mississippi River?
57:20 Speaker 05 What'd you write down?
57:21 Speaker 04 Don't worry about it.
57:22 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says 2,234. Roman says 1,982. Randall says 1,160. Anthony says 2,323.
57:39 Speaker 05 Close.
57:39 Speaker 03 In our two players left.
57:40 Speaker 05 We're both close. I know.
57:41 Speaker 03 We have Nate saying 2,137. Brody saying 2,044. The correct answer is 2,350. Making it our winner.
57:58 Steven Rinella? Wow.
57:59 Speaker 03 200 miles off. Well done, Nate.
58:01 Steven Rinella? Anthony was the closest.
58:02 Speaker 03 Anthony was right there. Let the record show. He was really close. 27 miles away. We're gonna call that right on the money.
58:08 Speaker 04 Yeah.
58:08 Speaker 03 Yeah. Hey! So Nate gets to make a $600 donation today instead of $500. Nate, what are you gonna do with all that money?
58:17 Speaker 04 I'm never prepared for this. If anyone has a suggestion in this room, something cool?
58:22 Speaker 03 No, it's gotta be Nate.
58:22 Steven Rinella? Go with what you know.
58:23 Speaker 04 Um, here's the deal. Uh... Go ahead, CEO.
58:27 Steven Rinella? Follow your heart.
58:28 Speaker 04 Um, I think Mark Kenyon, he's taken over the VP of Conservation role since Cal's over BHA, and he's got great plans for how Meteor's gonna do cool conservation stuff. And part of that's Land Access Initiative. So only 500 bucks, 600 bucks.
58:42 Speaker 03 600.
58:42 Speaker 04 Thanks to me, to the Land Access Initiative.
58:45 Speaker 03 To the LAI. Well done, Nate. Well done, Anthony. Freaking it's so dang close to the correct answer.
58:50 Steven Rinella? No one's gonna point out how far away I was.
58:52 Speaker 03 Join us next week on Meteor Trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
58:58 Speaker 04 Thanks, Spencer.
58:58 Speaker 02 Thanks, Spencer.
