1:46 Speaker 04 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 Brody, Nate, John, Marge, Logan, and am I missing anyone? Maxwell. I'm here.
1:59 Speaker 05 I'm here.
1:59 Speaker 04 This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. All right, we have a couple mailbag questions today. Again, we're going to start doing more of this instead of the IFAQs that are just about trivia. So send your questions to [email protected] if you would like the crew to answer them. This first one is from Matthew Meshkey. I'm from North Dakota and just drew a once in a lifetime elk tag. I'm 25 and this will be my first elk hunt. Do you guys have any advice on judging elk? Let's say a 330 inch bull compared to a 360, thanks.
2:41 Speaker 04 I am not the guy to answer this, but we work with some people who are the people to give you a good answer. The first one here is Jason Phelps. He says, "Every bull is put together so differently that it's hard to judge them off of just a quick visualization." He's saying it's hard to tell the difference between a 330 and a 360 just from a glance. He goes on to say that you need to do some studying. And he says, "Start with the base. On a standard six-point bull, if you have 15-inch tine length, 50-inch beams, 40-inch spread, and 60 inches of mass, you have a 350-inch bull, then you can deduct and add on from there." He said, "You just, first you want to check that there's six points, then the frame,
3:25 Speaker 04 then see how it's all put together." So that's, that's what Phelps says. Basically, there is no quick way to field judge. Yanis Poutellis, here's what he says. "Here's a quick and dirty way to field judge bull elk. On big, mature bulls, the average mass width and main beam length will be about 200 inches." And then here's where the math starts. "The last thing to score then is the tine length. On a six-point bull, if you take the average length of the tines and multiply by 10, since he has 10 scoreable points, and then add that to 200, you'll get a good field judgment." For example, if you have a bull that has an average tine length of 15 inches, I'd guess I'm looking at a 350-inch bull.
4:06 Speaker 04 The math breaks down, 15 times 10 is 150, plus 200, that equals 350. If every point is pushing or exceeding 20 inches, then you're looking at a 400-inch bull. My buddy Jay Scott has done a lot of content on YouTube and Instagram about field judging. He also has an app called Horn Score that will teach you how and help you field judge elk. Yanni says he'd recommend both. Brody, do you have anything to add?
4:33 Speaker 06 Yeah, like I'm never going to be the kind of person that's going to walk around with those kind of math formulas.
4:39 Speaker 05 Or like a calculator.
4:42 Speaker 06 Like, I get it, like.
4:45 Speaker 06 I just feel like you're gonna know when you're looking at a giant, number one. But what I would look for in simpler terms than what those guys described is a long ass main beam.
4:57 Speaker 06 And long third and fourth points, like tall third and like that, especially that fourth one. If it's like 20, 24 inches, you're looking at a really good bull.
5:08 Speaker 04 Okay.
5:09 Speaker 06 Um, but whoever said it Phelps, like the difference between a three thirty and a three sixty is like not that much.
5:16 Speaker 04 He's saying you need to study it.
5:18 Speaker 06 Yeah.
5:18 Speaker 04 And even, even when you study it, it's not a guarantee.
5:20 Speaker 06 10 or 15 inches of that could be air. If you're just looking at one that's wide and one that's narrow, you know? So lo- long main beams, long, real long third and fourth is what I would look at first, like as a general impression.
5:33 Speaker 04 Anyone else in the room have some input for Matthew on how to feel judge giant elk?
5:37 Speaker 07 I like Max's.
5:38 Speaker 05 Yeah.
5:38 Speaker 04 What was Max's input?
5:40 Speaker 05 If you pull up the gun and start doing one of these, it's probably pretty big.
5:46 Speaker 04 Did you write this question, Max? Somebody from North Dakota drew a very good elk tag.
5:50 Speaker 05 I, I wonder, uh, what, where's he from or if I know him?
5:53 Speaker 04 I don't know.
5:53 Speaker 05 What's his first name, Matt?
5:54 Speaker 04 Matthew Meshke, but Maxwell also from North Dakota and drew a good elk tag this year. So we're, uh.
6:00 Speaker 05 No, oh yeah, but not in North Dakota.
6:03 Speaker 04 No.
6:03 Speaker 05 No, no. Did you know non-residents can't hunt in North Dakota elk?
6:07 Speaker 04 Yeah, well, I guess I, I assumed that it's the same way in South Dakota. And I feel like they manage similarly.
6:12 Speaker 05 Yeah.
6:13 Speaker 04 Um, I, again, I'm, I'm not an elk killer in the room, but I, I spent some time around big elk and like Yellowstone specifically. The first thing that always jumps out to me, I'm like, oh my God, that's a big bull is it's whale tails. If it's got like really big whale tails, I'm like, oh, I'm, I'm looking at a giant bull right now.
6:29 Speaker 05 Like long or width?
6:31 Speaker 04 Uh, just both, like it's like, oh my goodness, those, those are, uh, there's some space.
6:35 Speaker 06 That comes into that like long fourth point, you know?
6:39 Speaker 04 Any other input for Matthew? Logan, what was your input?
6:42 Speaker 06 I mean, I've personally never killed a bull elk, so I mean, it sounds like he's in a similar situation where this is his first elk.
6:47 Speaker 04 Once in a lifetime.
6:48 Speaker 06 Yeah, once in a lifetime, but yeah, don't go home not filling your tag. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't be too concerned.
6:53 Speaker 04 Good advice.
6:54 Speaker 06 About that.
6:54 Speaker 04 Uh, we have another mailbag question. This will be the last one from Joshua Fowler. If Phil played along with trivia, what would he score? We need some more episodes with Phil playing. Ooh. Phil? Yeah. How would you do, you think?
7:05 Speaker 08 I would do alright. I think I've said before that I would, I think I'd crush cooking. I don't, I don't mean to like talk myself up. I feel like I know, I know most of the cooking questions. Everything else would be, I mean, hunting would be abysmal, fishing would be possibly worse, but I think I'd do okay in conservation or some of your weird, more esoteric categories like mountain men or geography, whatever you call them.
7:26 Speaker 06 For a non-hunter, Phil has absorbed a lot of information in the last like eight years. How long have you worked here, Phil?
7:34 Speaker 08 Uh, since 2019 and I've heard every episode of the Meat Eater Podcast, some of them multiple times. Uh, but I, I don't know how much of that I, I've actually retained. It would be a good test.
7:45 Speaker 04 You keep track today and see how you would do on this episode. Uh, if, if we had Phil's four verticals, if this was his brand, Phil Eater, what, what would the four verticals be?
7:53 Speaker 08 Oh man, well, I think video games would be my, my best category. Anything before 1995 would be spotty. I think I'd do okay though. Um, I'd say like the 1990s and early 2000s Seattle Mariners. That's, I think I'd do really well there.
8:07 Speaker 04 Is that the team that won how like how many hundred some?
8:10 Speaker 08 In 2001, they, they tied the record for, uh, I think a hundred and 62 wins in a, or.
8:15 Speaker 04 Hundred and sixty-two games.
8:16 Speaker 06 Was Ken Groh already gone at that point, Phil?
8:19 Speaker 08 Uh, no, no, he was still there in the, in the mid 90s. Um, but he was, he was gone by the time they, they, they tied the, the record for games.
8:26 Speaker 04 Here's a whiteboard for you.
8:27 Speaker 08 Oh, thank you.
8:29 Speaker 04 Uh, most wins was 116.
8:30 Speaker 08 116, yeah, yeah.
8:31 Speaker 04 Okay. So we video games, uh, early 2000s Mariners, two more categories.
8:36 Speaker 08 Yeah, I'd, I'd say like music. I, I think I'd do pretty well.
8:40 Speaker 09 Tiki drinks?
8:42 Speaker 08 Well, here, here's the thing. There's a part of me that wants to say like Star Wars and tiki drinks, but tho- those are deep oceans and people, I think people would call me a poser and say that I've, I've putting up rookie numbers there. Um, but, and then I'd say, I'd, let's just stick with meat eater. Cooking is the fourth one.
8:56 Speaker 04 Oh, wow. Okay. Good, good for Phil. Well, you'll do okay on today's episode. We have some housekeeping to get to before we play. On a previous episode of trivia, I had a question about the seven-letter chemical that M-44 bombs spray in the face of coyotes. The correct answer was cyanide, and in the flavor text, I again referenced how they explode in the coyote's face. But Jay wrote in to say that this isn't quite accurate. He pointed out that cyanide is housed in a plastic capsule that's sealed with wax. When the spring loaded plunger is triggered, it forces the solid cyanide out of the capsule and directly into the mouth of the coyote. There is no explosion and no cloud of cyanide. The emailer points
9:37 Speaker 04 out that I'm using jargon for anti-hunting propaganda by incorrectly referring to it as an explosion or a cyanide cloud. You know what, Jay? I think you're right. That it's important to be accurate with those things. So, there is no cloud of cyanide. There is no bomb-like explosion for those. It is a capsule that's deploying into the coyote's mouth. All right, the Shelby index for today is a four, so our winners should get eight correct answers. That's possible. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Not likely. Play the drop, Phil.
10:25 Speaker 10 Game on, suckers.
10:28 Speaker 04 Question one. The topic is Phil's vertical cooking. Hey. And this will be multiple choice. According to Outdoor Life, blank is, quote, universally the best wood for fish. Is it mesquite, hickory, pecan, or alder? You're a pecan guy. According to Outdoor Life, blank is universally the best wood for fish. The best for what? Like bonking them on the head? Or like smoking them? I think they're referring to smoking them. Universally the best wood for fish. Your four choices: mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder. Just all fish? Anything that swims.
11:13 Speaker 06 He's good at turkey hunting, but he doesn't know much about smoking fish, does he?
11:19 Speaker 04 According to Outdoor Life, this is universally the best wood for fish. Mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder.
11:28 Speaker 05 I'm trying to think when I buy those wood pellets. It says like.
11:32 Speaker 04 It's got the graph on the back.
11:33 Speaker 05 It says like what it's good for.
11:34 Speaker 04 Yep, it's a good place to start. Brody, do you have this one right?
11:39 Speaker 06 I have what should be the right answer.
11:41 Speaker 04 Oh, okay. That's a good way to put it.
11:44 Speaker 06 According to Brody Henderson.
11:45 Speaker 04 Mm hmm. Logan, have you smoked any fish?
11:47 Speaker 11 Uh, yes, I smoke a lot of trout. But I kind of just use whatever pellets I have.
11:51 Speaker 04 Whatever's handy.
11:52 Speaker 11 Yeah.
11:52 Speaker 04 John, how about you? Same exact thing. Okay. Nate? Nope, not a big fish guy. Marge, smoking fish?
12:00 Speaker 09 No.
12:01 Speaker 04 No. Maxwell, smoking fish?
12:03 Speaker 05 Uh, occasionally the salmon, like on a cedar plank, you know?
12:06 Speaker 09 I guess with Heather, but.
12:08 Speaker 04 There you go, you were observing.
12:09 Speaker 05 Yeah, what kind of wood did you use there?
12:11 Speaker 06 Hey.
12:13 Speaker 04 Your four choices for the universally best wood for fish. Mesquite, hickory, pecan, alder. Is everybody ready?
12:22 Speaker 05 Yeah, I think so.
12:23 Speaker 04 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says hickory. Logan, hickory. Marge, hickory, and she drew us a nice dead fish that's getting smoked. John, hickory. Maxwell, alder. Brody, alder. The correct answer is alder.
12:40 Speaker 04 Got that one right. Tasting table, Bradley Smokers, Global Seafoods, and others agree that alder is the top choice for smoking fish. They say it produces a mild, delicate, sweet smoke that enhances a fish's flavor instead of overpowering it. After alderwood, the next most popular choices for seafood are oak, apple, and cherry.
13:02 Speaker 05 Beautiful.
13:04 Speaker 04 Brody, you have any other input on choosing wood for smoking fish?
13:07 Speaker 06 I would say anything, um, like in the fruit tree arena is good for like sweeter and milder.
13:14 Speaker 04 Yep.
13:15 Speaker 06 Versus like.
13:17 Speaker 06 Heavy duty smoke flavor like hickory or muskeet.
13:20 Speaker 04 Yeah, I've seen it described as like muskeet and hickory is like taking a sledgehammer to something. While like an alder or an oak or an apple or a cherry is like a paintbrush to something. And so you're looking to do the paintbrush when you're doing fish.
13:33 Speaker 09 You learn something new every day.
13:34 Speaker 04 Rather than hitting it with a sledgehammer. Question two, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via David Rayom. According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is quote, "The most produced shotgun in history."
13:54 Speaker 04 Nate and Max had their answers before I finished the question. According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.
14:05 Speaker 07 I'm surprised by this.
14:08 Speaker 04 Yeah, I feel like there's another gun you've jumped to as like, oh, that's the most produced one. And we can get into the stats after this, but I think that one's not far behind.
14:16 Speaker 07 That's what I shot my turkey with on Wednesday.
14:18 Speaker 04 Oh, good.
14:18 Speaker 09 Really?
14:19 Speaker 04 I feel like that's a little much.
14:21 Speaker 06 I think you're gonna be real disappointed with your answer, Max.
14:23 Speaker 04 Really? Okay, too late to change.
14:26 Speaker 07 I wonder if we have the same one then. Tell them how you really feel, Brody.
14:28 Speaker 04 According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.
14:40 Speaker 04 No.
14:40 Speaker 07 If this gets real tiki-tacky, I'm gonna be pissed.
14:43 Speaker 04 Okay. Nate is now unsure of his answer.
14:49 Speaker 06 I just know.
14:49 Speaker 04 And between Brody and Max, I would feel like Max has a deeper knowledge of shotgun. So I'm excited to see what you guys have for your answers.
14:57 Speaker 07 I mean, I can't.
14:58 Speaker 06 He ain't got it right.
14:58 Speaker 04 Okay.
14:59 Speaker 06 Like 100% he's wrong.
15:01 Speaker 04 Wow, okay. Is it just not a Mossberg that he wrote down or did he write down a Mossberg?
15:05 Speaker 06 It's not a Mossberg.
15:06 Speaker 09 What?
15:07 Speaker 07 All right, buddy. No, what gun am I thinking of?
15:10 Speaker 04 We're gonna give our other players.
15:11 Speaker 06 The one Spencer was talking about.
15:12 Speaker 04 A little bit longer.
15:13 Speaker 07 Hey, no, no, no, no, you gotta stop over there, brother.
15:16 Speaker 04 According to Rock Island Auction Company, the Mossberg Blank is the most produced shotgun in history.
15:23 Speaker 07 All right, let's flip these bad Larrys.
15:25 Speaker 04 Marge, John, Logan, how you doing?
15:27 Speaker 09 I'm not answering, I'm drunk.
15:28 Speaker 07 I mean, I keep thinking, I keep thinking of a competitor that I have owned. All right, all right.
15:35 Speaker 06 Well, it's fine. Everyone's got their answer. Johnny, give up. Write something down, man. Yeah.
15:39 Speaker 04 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Mossberg 500. Logan says 12 gauge. Marge drew us a strutting turkey.
15:48 Speaker 09 I'm trying to.
15:49 Speaker 04 John, without an answer. Max says the Remington 870. Rem. Brody says the Mossberg 500. Brody and Nate got it. Who knows more about shotguns? Ooh.
15:59 Speaker 05 I didn't say it. Spencer said it.
16:01 Speaker 04 Is the Mossberg 500.
16:03 Speaker 05 Why did I say 870?
16:05 Speaker 04 There have been 12 million Mossberg 500s made, which is about 1 million more than the second place Remington 870. It was created by Carl Benson in 1961 with the user base in mind being hunters. But the pump action shotgun was quickly adopted by law enforcement and military, which raised its popularity as one of the world's most used guns.
16:27 Speaker 07 We had 870s in the armory, not 500s.
16:31 Speaker 04 I, I think it probably varies on what.
16:33 Speaker 07 I'm just saying the military, like, I'm surprised. I thought it was gonna be the opposite of that.
16:36 Speaker 05 Gosh.
16:37 Speaker 04 Yeah, Mossberg 500.
16:38 Speaker 05 I had 870 in my mind. I was like, yep, it's gotta be it.
16:41 Speaker 04 Do you own a Mossberg 500?
16:44 Speaker 05 No.
16:44 Speaker 04 No.
16:44 Speaker 05 I don't. Or an 870.
16:46 Speaker 04 Oh, wow.
16:47 Speaker 07 He's a fancy guy.
16:48 Speaker 04 You don't go with one or two on the most made shotgun list.
16:51 Speaker 05 No.
16:52 Speaker 04 Question three. The topic is conservation. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.
17:05 Speaker 04 Nate and Brody already have their answer. Max is joining them. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.
17:19 Speaker 06 Man, my last name is Dove. This is disappointing that I don't know who this is.
17:23 Speaker 04 We'll educate you all about doves after this.
17:26 Speaker 07 Cousin Eurasian.
17:28 Speaker 04 The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck.
17:34 Speaker 06 Sometimes I have to get the old red rider for these things when they're in my garden.
17:39 Speaker 04 Yeah. Max, do you, do you know this one?
17:41 Speaker 05 I would, I would hope so.
17:43 Speaker 04 Okay.
17:44 Speaker 06 That's right, Max. Good job.
17:45 Speaker 04 Yeah, Max is back on track.
17:48 Speaker 08 And Spencer, I've gone through the questions. The fill index is also a four today.
17:51 Speaker 04 Oh, okay. Great. I like that.
17:55 Speaker 04 Marge, do you have this one right?
17:57 Speaker 06 No.
17:58 Speaker 04 John, how about you?
17:59 Speaker 05 I think so.
18:01 Speaker 06 I bet you could walk out this door and go outside and find one of these things in like thirty seconds.
18:05 Speaker 04 I think so, yeah.
18:07 Speaker 07 You could also find a moose in about thirty seconds.
18:09 Speaker 06 I heard, yeah.
18:10 Speaker 04 Oh, I heard that today.
18:11 Speaker 11 Oh, was that in the like actual pond back there? Is that the park or over here?
18:14 Speaker 05 Oh, okay. But some, I don't know who it was, but someone told me that the moose was walking around like our.
18:22 Speaker 07 Dude, how are your chicks doing? I want a chick update.
18:25 Speaker 05 There, I think, I'm ninety-nine point nine percent sure there's a hen nesting in our hen house.
18:31 Speaker 06 You need to swim out there and take a look.
18:33 Speaker 05 I don't need to swim. So, um, yeah, the drake is just like using the pond and like the hen's nowhere to be found and like you can't confirm it in the hen house, but it's like, there's a little bump in there that I think it's a.
18:46 Speaker 07 Little baby bump.
18:47 Speaker 04 Okay.
18:48 Speaker 05 Little hen mallard, so.
18:49 Speaker 04 One more time, we're on question three. The topic is conservation. The invasive Eurasian blank dove is easily identified by a black stripe that sits on the bird's neck. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says rock.
19:03 Speaker 06 Oh.
19:04 Speaker 04 Logan, mourning, Marge, mourning, John, collared, Maxwell, collared, Brody, collared. The correct answer is collared.
19:13 Speaker 05 What was I thinking?
19:13 Speaker 04 Eurasian collared dove.
19:15 Speaker 06 I don't think you were. You know what a rock dove is?
19:17 Speaker 04 That's a pigeon.
19:18 Speaker 05 Pigeon.
19:19 Speaker 06 That's it.
19:20 Speaker 04 Dang. The Eurasian collared dove is native to Africa, Europe, and Asia. It made its way into the United States after some escaped from captivity in the Bahamas in nineteen seventy-four. They are taller and heavier than the native mourning dove and white winged dove and are easily identified by the black stripe that forms a semi-circle on the back of their neck. Most states allow unregulated hunting for collared doves as they outcompete native birds for food and nesting sites. Uh, as Brody said, you'll, you'll find them in the Gallatin Valley here, as I think, uh, probably potentially all fifty states.
19:55 Speaker 05 And all times of year too. Doesn't matter.
19:58 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah, they don't.
19:59 Speaker 05 Morning doves pitch at south, like in the fall, but like Eurasian doves are here all winter long.
20:04 Speaker 06 Do they taste good? It tastes like a dove.
20:07 Speaker 04 Yeah, I think if you did a Pepsi challenge, you wouldn't know. The difference is my guess. Now, the other day at my bird feeder in my backyard, I had a white winged dove, which was very exciting because those are typically found in the southwest, they're a desert bird, and it's kind of uncommon for them to make it up this far north. Uh, so a white winged dove.

21:59 Speaker 04 Question for the topic is woodsmanship. This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers.
22:15 Speaker 04 Nate has his answer. Max says he's got it. This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers.
22:28 Speaker 07 I think.
22:31 Speaker 07 I don't know any other that would fall into this category.
22:34 Speaker 05 Hmm, for some reason, I, I have a reason why I put this answer down, but I don't know where it came from.
22:39 Speaker 07 I do too.
22:40 Speaker 06 You know Nate, I don't think you get enough credit for being one of the most well-dressed people at Meat Eater.
22:45 Speaker 07 You know, I appreciate that. Thank you.
22:48 Speaker 05 What did I tell you this morning?
22:50 Speaker 07 Thanks a lot.
22:50 Speaker 06 Rarely see you in a t-shirt.
22:53 Speaker 04 Yeah, he, uh, he also got complimented. Uh, we were filming something down in the kitchen earlier and he walked by letting his dog out and, uh, Nick Glenn complimented him.
23:01 Speaker 07 It's very sweet.
23:02 Speaker 04 And then, uh, Nate said that he wore this to church yesterday and he didn't want to fold it up. So it was his Monday out.
23:08 Speaker 07 I laid it on the ground. I think Chip slept on it last night and then I put it back on this morning. I did discover that I have a hole right in my crotch though. So don't look.
23:17 Speaker 04 Now they're, now they're, they're too holy for church.
23:20 Speaker 07 Yeah.
23:22 Speaker 04 This unit of measurement, which is the equivalent of four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers. I was making some smoked salsa, uh, down in the kitchen. We taste tested it beforehand. Uh, give, give us a review somebody so that people want to go watch the video of it when it comes out in a few days.
23:44 Speaker 07 It was delicious.
23:45 Speaker 05 I thought it was great.
23:45 Speaker 06 So good, spicy.
23:47 Speaker 09 I put that on chicken, not just chips. It was very good. Not just tacos.
23:52 Speaker 05 You outdid yourself, Spencer.
23:53 Speaker 04 That video will be up very soon.
23:55 Speaker 07 I rolled up to the grill expecting to say you were smoking some fish or whatever and it was salsa.
24:01 Speaker 06 Coming soon to the Meat Eater store. Spencer's chili, Spencer's salsa.
24:05 Speaker 11 It kinda tastes like hot mama salsa. I don't know if you've had that one, but it's like.
24:09 Speaker 05 Oh, isn't that from Costco?
24:10 Speaker 11 No.
24:11 Speaker 05 No, hot mamas.
24:11 Speaker 11 It's like around this area.
24:12 Speaker 05 It's a local Bozeman.
24:13 Speaker 11 Yeah.
24:14 Speaker 05 Hmm. What's the one from Costco that's really good?
24:17 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah, that sounds good.
24:18 Speaker 07 That peach salsa dude is.
24:20 Speaker 06 It's a little salty, but it's good.
24:22 Speaker 04 Is everybody ready for the unit of measurement?
24:24 Speaker 06 Yellow.
24:25 Speaker 04 It's equal to four inches, quantifies the distance between the ground and a horse's withers. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says hand. Logan says cap. Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Max says shoulder. Brody says hand. The correct answer.
24:42 Speaker 04 Is hand, Brody and Nate got that one right.
24:46 Speaker 07 Tyler Childers.
24:47 Speaker 05 Maybe that's what I was thinking about.
24:49 Speaker 04 This four inch unit is roughly the distance between your pinky and thumb when your fingers are held together. The hand measurement goes back to ancient Egypt where a hand was 3.7 inches and a fist was 4.25 inches. On horses, hands refer to the distance between the ground and the top of the shoulders. The average horse is about 15 hands tall, while a tall horse is usually greater than 16.
25:13 Speaker 05 I knew shoulders was in there somewhere.
25:15 Speaker 11 What are withers?
25:17 Speaker 04 Withers would be the top of the shoulders, I believe.
25:20 Speaker 05 Shoot.
25:21 Speaker 04 Question five, the topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Matthew Smith for sending this great question. Matthew 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 [email protected] . This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.
25:48 Speaker 04 This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.
25:58 Speaker 04 The room looks stumped.
26:03 Speaker 05 Wow.
26:05 Speaker 04 Yanni was supposed to be here today, and I expected that Yanni and Brody would immediately have this one right. This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock. But this could be a zero percenter.
26:22 Speaker 04 I gotta read this. Phil, one through five, which of these would you have right so far in our first five questions?
26:28 Speaker 08 Uh, so this was my toughest stretch here. I think the only one I would have gotten right would have been the, the cooking one, number one, Alder smoked salmon is a PNW delicacy.
26:39 Speaker 04 Of course. Brody, do you have a 10-letter fish?
26:43 Speaker 08 Yep.
26:43 Speaker 04 Nate, do you have a 10-letter fish?
26:45 Speaker 07 Yeah, I, I feel like I'm in another tropical type situation.
26:48 Speaker 04 Okay.
26:50 Speaker 05 Named after its teeth.
26:51 Speaker 04 This 10-letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.
27:03 Speaker 11 I had a nine-letter fish and I added one letter also. We'll see the hands out.
27:07 Speaker 04 All right.
27:08 Speaker 07 It's always a good strategy.
27:13 Speaker 08 Yeah, number five here was one where I, it's one of those ones where you hear the answer and you're like, oh, but I don't think I would have put it together. If that's a hint for anybody, I don't think it is.
27:23 Speaker 04 Ten letter saltwater fish is named after its teeth that resemble what you'd find in the mouth of livestock.
27:32 Speaker 04 Do our other three players give up?
27:36 Speaker 09 I'm gonna get skunked this game.
27:38 Speaker 04 Oh, you got, you got a couple in you, Marge. Maxwell, you give up?
27:42 Speaker 07 If I get this wrong, I'd like to present my case to the jury or judge.
27:46 Speaker 04 Yeah, I can't think of anything. I'm sorry. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says cuddlefish. Logan, sheep's head. Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody, sheep's head. He got it. The correct answer is sheep's head.
28:02 Speaker 06 Nice work.
28:03 Speaker 07 I'm just saying, you'd find cud in the mouth of livestock.
28:08 Speaker 04 Is that why they're called cuddlefish?
28:11 Speaker 08 Cuddle?
28:12 Speaker 06 I don't think your logic's working there, buddy.
28:15 Speaker 09 I think the biggest thing is that cuddlefish aren't fish.
28:20 Speaker 04 Hmm.
28:20 Speaker 07 Touche.
28:21 Speaker 04 Okay, thank you.
28:22 Speaker 07 I rest my case.
28:24 Speaker 04 The sheep's head range stretches along the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to Brazil. They use those unique teeth to crush and grind shelled animals such as crabs, oysters, and barnacles. New teeth are constantly replacing old teeth that wear down and break. Here's a picture of their mouth. This is why they call them sheep's head.
28:43 Speaker 08 I thought they were, it was just sheep.
28:44 Speaker 04 I caught one of these.
28:45 Speaker 08 That's why I asked.
28:46 Speaker 07 I think it's a weirdly phrased question.
28:48 Speaker 06 Many different versions of this fish. Well, that, there's many fish that have this name and sometimes you'll hear them called sheep heads.
28:54 Speaker 04 Freshwater drum, that's one that where I grew up.
28:57 Speaker 06 There's Atlantic sheep head, there's Pacific sheep head. They don't look anything alike, like, yeah.
29:02 Speaker 04 If you ask somebody where I was growing up, if they, like, what'd you catch today? And they were to catch a freshwater drum, there's like an 80% chance they would say a sheep head.
29:10 Speaker 08 Yep.
29:11 Speaker 04 But those drum do not have the teeth like this. So that, I think, you're like, using the extern or the exterior of the fish to be like, that looks like the head of a sheep.
29:19 Speaker 06 Like, growing up in Lake Erie, we considered those things trash fish.
29:23 Speaker 11 Oh, this is so good. When we went to Florida, we caught a bunch of those. It was super fun to fish for. We like drop it down.
29:28 Speaker 04 This, this sheep's head you're talking about.
29:30 Speaker 06 I caught one on the fly rod.
29:31 Speaker 11 Oh, these things are very good to eat. Real good to eat.
29:34 Speaker 04 All right, we are halfway through.
29:36 Speaker 06 Baby black drum?
29:38 Speaker 04 I'm pretty sure. Had the stripes and everything.
29:40 Speaker 06 Love baby black drum have stripes.
29:42 Speaker 05 Do you remember those teeth, Max?
29:43 Speaker 04 I remember those teeth.
29:44 Speaker 06 Okay, alright.
29:45 Speaker 05 Black drum would not have those.
29:47 Speaker 04 Alright, Phil. Halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.
29:50 Speaker 07 Oh, bud.
29:50 Speaker 08 Yeah, here at halftime. Maggie's not on the board yet with zero points. Logan and John have one point apiece. Nate and Max are tied up with two. And with a perfect game, he doesn't have a flushed face doctor nipping at his heels today. He's feeling good.
30:06 Speaker 06 I wish, I wish he was here.
30:07 Speaker 08 He's got five points. Brody Henderson.
30:09 Speaker 07 Oh, we need like a colossal meltdown.
30:11 Speaker 06 Just to see the sweat pouring down his face.
30:13 Speaker 04 Brody could ramp up the earliest victory ever. Hey. By like question seven. We'll see how this goes. There's hope.
30:19 Speaker 06 How about this, people?
30:21 Speaker 04 Let's do it. I am all about it.
30:23 Speaker 06 Whoever finishes second gets to pick the donor.
30:26 Speaker 07 Oh, I like it. I like it. Conolation prize.
30:28 Speaker 08 So kind.
30:28 Speaker 04 Sure. He's not gonna give you the win, though.
30:30 Speaker 06 No.
30:31 Speaker 07 No.
30:31 Speaker 06 But you can pick who it goes to, so keep playing.
30:34 Speaker 04 Question six. The topic is hunting. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. Brody has the perfect game to start. Finish his answer before I finish the question. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread.
31:01 Speaker 06 This is sneaky. Steve's dream project is to do a big, big movie about this.
31:06 Speaker 04 I know. He always talks.
31:07 Speaker 07 Oh, I think I got it, then.
31:08 Speaker 08 Yeah, I was gonna say, I was a pretty big hint.
31:11 Speaker 06 That's alright, Phil.
31:12 Speaker 08 I'm not worried for you, Brody.
31:16 Speaker 06 Is it that guy? Well, it's like getting in the right direction. We'll see what Spencer says.
31:22 Speaker 04 Okay.
31:22 Speaker 06 But, no.
31:23 Speaker 08 Doesn't sound like Max now.
31:25 Speaker 04 You got some letters mixed up, maybe in the wrong place. I thought, I thought this. The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. Nate, do you have this one right?
31:39 Speaker 07 Yeah, I think so.
31:41 Speaker 04 I thought it was.
31:44 Speaker 07 You almost got me, you sneaky sneak.
31:47 Speaker 04 I don't think this is.
31:48 Speaker 06 I just told you you're going in the right direction.
31:49 Speaker 04 Any trickery.
31:51 Speaker 07 Then I probably don't have it.
31:52 Speaker 04 Okay. Yes.
31:55 Speaker 07 No, I think I got it.
31:55 Speaker 04 Steve is obsessed with this story. As I think many hunters from his part of the world are.
32:05 Speaker 07 Dude, I got some juicy deets on the Beatty Buck.
32:08 Speaker 04 Okay.
32:08 Speaker 07 Yeah.
32:09 Speaker 04 Tell me more.
32:09 Speaker 07 We'll talk about it after.
32:11 Speaker 04 It's not Mitch Beatty Buck.
32:13 Speaker 07 No, it's not that.
32:14 Speaker 04 The Mitch Blank Buck, which is widely believed to be a hoax, measured over thirty inches for its main beams and inside spread. I have heard that you need to be careful what you say about this deer because the family is litigious. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
32:28 Speaker 07 It's a good word.
32:31 Speaker 04 Is everybody ready? The whole story is hilarious. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Rumpala. Logan says Letterman. That's a different, that's a famous mule here in Montana. Uh, Marge without an answer. John without an answer. Maxwell says Mitch Paula.
32:48 Speaker 05 I had Ron Paula down. R O N.
32:53 Speaker 04 Brody says Rumpala. The correct answer is Rumpala. Now, what do you have there? Show us again. You have R A P.
33:02 Speaker 05 Me?
33:02 Speaker 04 Yeah.
33:03 Speaker 05 I have Mitch Paula.
33:04 Speaker 04 He had Ron Paul.
33:06 Speaker 05 I, I, this is what I had.
33:08 Speaker 04 Oh, so close.
33:10 Speaker 05 I thought it was two names. I had Ron Paul.
33:12 Speaker 04 Max?
33:14 Speaker 05 Ron Paul?
33:15 Speaker 04 Max's answer, Max's answer is like if we played a game of telephone and he was last.
33:21 Speaker 05 Yeah, most of the time it is.
33:23 Speaker 04 Uh, Mitch Rumpala. The Mitch Rumpala Buck was supposedly killed in nineteen ninety-eight in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. It measured over two hundred sixteen inches, which topped the world record Milo Hansen Buck. But the deer was never officially entered into the Boone and Crockett record books, which added to speculation about the rack's authenticity. A fellow Michigan hunter even publicly offered to give ten thousand dollars to a charity of Rumpala's choosing for him to get the skull x-rayed. But Rumpala declined. According to two thousand six, two thousand six polling from whitetail.com, eighty-three percent of hunters believe the buck is a hoax.
34:03 Speaker 07 It just looks like it. It looks like the friggin Bigfoot footage.
34:05 Speaker 04 We have a picture of the Mitch Rumpala buck here. Uh, and Mitch was also known for like killing incredibly, incredibly wide deer out of the same like area in Michigan that is not known for big deer.
34:20 Speaker 05 This was pre-AI too, so.
34:22 Speaker 04 Yeah, 1998. He had to do some manual work to uh.
34:27 Speaker 07 Allegedly Spencer, allegedly.
34:29 Speaker 04 Of course, yes. Uh, do you have any, any story for us Nate on the Beatty buck?
34:35 Speaker 07 Okay, so.
34:35 Speaker 04 What's the Beatty buck?
34:36 Speaker 07 The Beatty buck was the largest atypical until like what Mufasa was killed or whatever that one in Illinois or Iowa.
34:42 Speaker 04 God.
34:43 Speaker 07 You know what I'm talking about?
34:44 Speaker 04 Yes.
34:45 Speaker 07 Um.
34:46 Speaker 04 Luke Brewster.
34:47 Speaker 07 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but that, that was killed real close to my college, Cedarville, Ohio, shout out. And it was killed right on the edge of this like nature preserve.
34:57 Speaker 04 Ooh.
34:57 Speaker 07 That nobody gets to run around in and giant bucks get grown all the time. So everyone's always talking in that area like, oh, was it really killed on the edge? But we were, uh, we were at a party and went down the basement and, uh, there's a life-size Beatty buck.
35:13 Speaker 04 Ooh.
35:13 Speaker 07 What the heck? Whose house is this? And it was John Beatty's house.
35:17 Speaker 04 Oh damn.
35:18 Speaker 07 His daughter's throwing a party. Hopefully he's not.
35:21 Speaker 04 But that doesn't settle the controversy.
35:24 Speaker 07 Well, that's how it all got started. We were like, what the heck? And then, yeah.
35:27 Speaker 04 Today's point, whenever a really big deer gets killed, it doesn't matter if it's Mitch Rumpala or anybody in the world. There is speculation about how it died and then the legality of everything. When Dustin Huff killed his United States record typical buck and I had talked to him that next morning, I told him, I was like, dude, get a game warden to come out today and just like verify all of your facts. And then there will be no question as to how any of this went down. Uh, and that was one of the first steps he took just because this, this naturally happens no matter what. Question seven, the topic is conservation. What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?
36:08 Speaker 04 What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in? This is question seven. The topic is conservation.
36:15 Speaker 05 This is a tough one.
36:15 Speaker 07 Oh dude.
36:17 Speaker 04 This could ruin Brody's game.
36:19 Speaker 05 It could.
36:23 Speaker 04 Maxwell rocking his Minnesota Wild hat today.
36:27 Speaker 05 Big game tonight.
36:29 Speaker 04 How they gonna do in the playoffs?
36:31 Speaker 05 Well, they beat the Stars, uh, first game, round one, so I have hopes for them. Not high hopes, I just have hopes.
36:38 Speaker 04 Okay. What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?
36:45 Speaker 04 This, this episode's coming out in a couple of days, Maxwell, make us a prediction for the Wild tonight.
36:49 Speaker 05 Wild win.
36:50 Speaker 04 Okay. By a score of?
36:52 Speaker 05 Three, two.
36:53 Speaker 04 Alright.
36:56 Speaker 04 Is everybody ready?
36:57 Speaker 06 No.
36:59 Speaker 04 You got Max distracted with oceans.
37:01 Speaker 05 I know, I'm trying to name my oceans.
37:04 Speaker 04 What ocean are the Galapagos Islands located in?
37:13 Speaker 04 Nate, did you change your answer?
37:15 Speaker 07 No, I should have, though.
37:18 Speaker 04 It's not too late.
37:18 Speaker 07 I know, I know. I'll be more pissed if I change it and get it wrong.
37:22 Speaker 04 Marge, do you have this one right?
37:25 Speaker 09 I think so.
37:25 Speaker 04 Okay. She shook her head no and said, "I think so."
37:29 Speaker 05 Gosh, why am I, I'm just blanking.
37:32 Speaker 04 Maxwell, we're waiting on you.
37:34 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's fine. We can wait all day.
37:37 Speaker 07 I'm just recalling.
37:39 Speaker 06 Think of a Christmas song? I think there's a few you can eliminate pretty quickly, Matt, but I'm not aware of your, like, grasp of geography, so...
37:48 Speaker 05 I know. Um, but I'm just trying to think when one starts and one ends.
37:54 Speaker 04 Hmm. Me and Max.
37:56 Speaker 06 Think about it.
37:57 Speaker 04 Me and Max grew up in the Dakotas, and in western South Dakota, you have the point of inaccessibility, which is the furthest you can be on the continent from salt water.
38:07 Speaker 06 Wow.
38:08 Speaker 04 Me and Max, it's tough going to the ocean for us.
38:11 Speaker 09 It's not our Dakota.
38:12 Speaker 05 I, I think you, I got that one crossed out. Um, man.
38:20 Speaker 04 Couple more seconds here, Max. You good? John, are you good?
38:24 Speaker 11 Yes.
38:25 Speaker 04 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate, Atlantic. Logan, Pacific. Marge, Pacific. John, Indian. Max, Atlantic. Brody, Pacific. If it's Indian, I'm gonna be mad. The correct answer.
38:41 Speaker 09 It's not Indian.
38:42 Speaker 04 Is the Pacific Ocean. Brody keeps his perfect game going.
38:47 Speaker 09 They're for Ecuador.
38:49 Speaker 04 The Galapagos Islands are located... If you kept going, you'd hit the Indian Ocean if you kept going that way.
38:55 Speaker 09 I mean, in between China and India is the Indian Ocean.
39:00 Speaker 04 The Galapagos Islands are located about 600 miles west of South America. They consist of 13 main islands and six smaller islands. The Galapagos are home to 188 species that are labeled as critically endangered, endangered, or threatened.
39:15 Speaker 07 I was just stuck on Master and Commander, dude.
39:18 Speaker 04 I was thinking about Africa.
39:19 Speaker 07 I thought that whole movie was set in Atlanta.
39:20 Speaker 09 You gotta go past Australia, like, eventually, but like...
39:25 Speaker 07 Okay, world traveler, Marge.
39:27 Speaker 06 The two oceans touch each other.
39:29 Speaker 09 I mean, all oceans touch each other.
39:32 Speaker 06 No, they don't. The Arctic Ocean doesn't touch, uh, like...
39:36 Speaker 04 The southern ocean.
39:37 Speaker 07 Antarctica.
39:38 Speaker 09 Of course it does.
39:39 Speaker 06 How?
39:40 Speaker 04 All water's connected.
39:41 Speaker 09 All the ocean is all connected.
39:43 Speaker 06 No, come on.
39:44 Speaker 07 He's saying adjacent.
39:45 Speaker 06 Question eight. Come on.
39:48 Speaker 04 The topic is geared.
39:50 Speaker 07 He's still got it right. He's still whacking all of us.

41:28 Speaker 04 Question eight, the topic is gear. Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.
41:40 Speaker 04 Nate?
41:41 Speaker 07 Dude, I almost bought a pair of these at the thrift store yesterday.
41:43 Speaker 04 Oh, that's a good place to find these. Brody, do you have this one right?
41:47 Speaker 06 Yeah.
41:48 Speaker 04 Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.
41:56 Speaker 06 In fact, I only knew them as...
41:59 Speaker 04 Oh, you didn't know them as bunny boots?
42:00 Speaker 06 Yeah, the answer is...
42:01 Speaker 04 Nate, do you own a pair of these then or no?
42:03 Speaker 07 No.
42:03 Speaker 04 How about you, Brody? Have you ever put your feet in bunny boots?
42:07 Speaker 06 Me?
42:07 Speaker 04 Yeah.
42:10 Speaker 07 Ice fishing?
42:12 Speaker 06 Um, no, I can't remember. It was some Meat Eater thing. Maybe it was ice fishing. I don't know.
42:18 Speaker 04 Brody and Nate's habit are on the same
42:20 Speaker 06 But it used to be, I don't know, like I haven't been in an army surplus store in so long, but you used to be able to just go pick them up.
42:25 Speaker 07 Oh dude, that one that coming back from Salt Lake is so good. What's that one called?
42:30 Speaker 04 Phil, do you got this one right?
42:32 Speaker 08 This was one I did not get correct, no.
42:34 Speaker 04 Can I call my dad?
42:35 Speaker 07 Maggie, I feel like you just wear these to work sometimes. I feel like I've seen that. No?
42:41 Speaker 04 Max, do you think, uh, do you think your dad owns these?
42:44 Speaker 05 I think he does.
42:45 Speaker 04 Do you think your father-in-law owns these?
42:47 Speaker 05 Probably does.
42:48 Speaker 04 Okay. He would know what bunny boots are also known as.
42:50 Speaker 05 Yeah.
42:51 Speaker 04 Bunny boots, which are also known by this cartoony name, were created by the US military during the Korean War.
42:59 Speaker 05 I'm gonna take a picture and send it to my dad, see if he gets it.
43:02 Speaker 09 Nate?
43:02 Speaker 08 What?
43:03 Speaker 09 I own moon boots.
43:04 Speaker 08 Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
43:04 Speaker 05 Phil's in it this time and not Reva.
43:08 Speaker 04 This is Max's new trick. He likes to, uh, phone a friend, but it doesn't count.
43:12 Speaker 05 Well, I just, I don't know the answer until they text back.
43:15 Speaker 04 Logan, do you have this one right?
43:17 Speaker 06 I don't think so.
43:18 Speaker 04 They probably have these at the army surplus store in Chicago.
43:21 Speaker 05 My dad's the worst texter too, so he's not gonna reply for a while.
43:24 Speaker 04 Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Mickey Mouse, Logan, Space Boots, Marge without an answer, John says Mox, Maxwell without an answer, Brody, Mickey Mouse Boots, the correct answer are Miss Mickey Mouse Boots.
43:41 Speaker 09 Do we have a picture?
43:42 Speaker 04 Um, I don't have them.
43:43 Speaker 06 You'll recognize them if you see them.
43:45 Speaker 04 Yeah, they, uh, well, I'll describe for you what they look like. Bunny boots are extreme cold vapor barrier boots that are designed to be worn in temps down to negative sixty degrees Fahrenheit. They were also referred to as Mickey Mouse Boots due to their oversized appearance that resemble the footwear of the Disney cartoon. Army surplus bunny boots can be purchased for about one hundred dollars, while some commercial brands will sell their own versions that retail for between two hundred dollars and four hundred dollars.
44:12 Speaker 06 The whole deal is you inflate them, right?
44:15 Speaker 04 I don't know how the vapor lock works, but like the thing is they have they had the vapor lock.
44:19 Speaker 11 Yeah.
44:20 Speaker 04 Um, but they're giant boots that are either like pure white, which I think is when it's a bunny boot or black when it's a Mickey Mouse boot and uh Phil has done a great job of producing over there and he pulled us up a picture.
44:32 Speaker 09 My Fabuki's, my Fabuki's look like those.
44:36 Speaker 04 Don't know what those are, but.
44:37 Speaker 09 They kinda look like the Alaska company boots that Seth has, right?
44:41 Speaker 04 Those are the Mickey Mouse boots, you're right, Marge. And I bet some people call them space boots, Logan, but that we're not gonna count that as a cartoon.
44:49 Speaker 09 My Fabuki's do look like those.
44:51 Speaker 11 I originally had Looney Tunes written down.
44:53 Speaker 04 All right, Phil, two questions left. Please give us a scoreboard update.
44:57 Speaker 08 Everyone's on the board now. Maggie and John have one point. Logan and Max tied up with two. Nate's got four now and Brody still with a perfect game here in the final stretch has eight points.
45:09 Speaker 04 Question nine, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Chris DeVries. This six-letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish. My goodness. Probably the first time in media trivia history where we have had two questions about animal teeth.
45:33 Speaker 09 What if you spell it wrong?
45:34 Speaker 04 Oh. If you got uh everything else right there, Marge, but a letter two is wrong, that's okay. This six-letter word. It's okay, Marge. Refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish. I know what we're talking about. This is a whale. As soon as I hear it. We have a picture of those teeth after this answer is revealed. Brody, is this gonna keep the perfect game going?
46:03 Speaker 11 Yeah.
46:04 Speaker 04 Okay.
46:06 Speaker 06 I wish someone would give Nate a run for second place though.
46:09 Speaker 04 Talking about this, right? Yeah. Had, you know, good job, Matt. We don't even need to show the picture. It looks like a dragon. I hope that Marge one ups you though and shows us even.
46:18 Speaker 09 I didn't, I didn't draw a picture. I was just trying to spell.
46:21 Speaker 04 Six letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish.
46:31 Speaker 09 Gosh.
46:32 Speaker 04 Give me a sec. Just give me a sec. Oh, okay. Nate thinks it's, it's in there somewhere.
46:36 Speaker 09 Say it out loud and not spell it.
46:39 Speaker 04 When we, uh, before we flip over the boards, Marge, you can just say your answer into the mic. And if that's right, you'll get the point. Ah. Do you think it's in your brain as well, Maxwell? Yeah, 100%. Okay. He drew it for us and I think his drawing is accurate. Yeah, I erased it. It wasn't my best Picasso work. We are, uh, now into late April and I don't think we've had a perfect game yet. So Brody is flirting with one. Really? All year long? I think it's, I think we've been in a drought this year of perfect games. Six letter word refers to the bristly plates that some whales have instead of teeth, which they use to filter krill, plankton and small fish.
47:24 Speaker 04 Maxwell, do you give up? I'm really excited for Brody to get to question 10.
47:27 Speaker 09 Hey Brody, some of these whales cross many oceans.
47:30 Speaker 04 Mmm. Some do. Is, is everybody ready? Yeah. Okay, Marge, you say your answer for us.
47:37 Speaker 09 Baleen?
47:38 Speaker 04 Oh! That's right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Ah! Nate says filter. Logan without an answer. Marge says Baleen. Spelled it three times. And one of her three spellings is correct. That's awesome. John without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody says Baleen. The correct answer is Baleen. B A L E E N.
47:56 Speaker 09 Okay.
47:57 Speaker 04 I didn't, I knew that. I knew it's a type of whale. Ah. That's right. There are fourteen species of baleen whale, which include the blue whale, gray whale, and humpback whale. The baleen is made of keratin, which is the same protein that makes up our fingernails and hair. In some species, the baleen can reach thirteen feet long. During feeding season, blue whales can consume thirty-five thousand pounds of krill per day. There is a picture of what Max drew us.
48:26 Speaker 05 Yeah.
48:26 Speaker 04 The baleen.
48:27 Speaker 05 Wait.
48:27 Speaker 04 In a whale's mouth. I believe that is a humpback.
48:30 Speaker 07 Are they pushing the water back out and then the krill are getting stuck in their mouth?
48:34 Speaker 04 I assume that's what they do.
48:36 Speaker 07 They suck it in, close, push, force the water out. That's so sick.
48:40 Speaker 04 And, uh, yeah, blue whales will do thirty-five thousand pounds of filter feeding a day.
48:46 Speaker 07 A day?
48:47 Speaker 04 Yeah.
48:47 Speaker 07 I thought you were gonna say a year.
48:48 Speaker 04 During feeding season.
48:49 Speaker 05 Wow.
48:50 Speaker 04 Crazy the ocean has that much.
48:52 Speaker 05 It's always feeding season for me.
48:53 Speaker 04 All right, Phil, one more scoreboard update before we do question ten.
48:56 Speaker 05 And I never thought about having a feeding season. That's weird.
48:59 Speaker 04 Breeding season, feeding season.
49:02 Speaker 09 I have two points?
49:02 Speaker 04 Migration.
49:04 Speaker 08 John has one point. Maggie has two points. Logan and Max also have two points. Should have lumped them all together. Nate's got four, and Brody has, uh, over-doubled the second-place player's score with nine in a big game.
49:19 Speaker 07 What if I pass along my winnings from Brody to the third place?
49:24 Speaker 04 No, no, no, I make the rules here, son.
49:28 Speaker 04 All right, here's the correct answer review so far. One was alderwood, two mossberg five hundred, three collared dove, four, uh, hand is how you measure a horse, five is sheep's head, six Mitch Rumpala, seven Pacific Ocean, eight Mickey Mouse boots, nine baleen. Here is question ten. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Clay Smith.
49:57 Speaker 04 According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents? Four. Not looking for one, two, or three.
50:07 Speaker 07 I knew it.
50:08 Speaker 04 I am looking for number four. Oh my god. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents?
50:18 Speaker 07 You're you're wild for this one, Spencer.
50:20 Speaker 04 And if. This may be the dumbest question you have ever asked. I think it's a great question. As soon as you start thinking about it, I think you'll you'll arrive.
50:29 Speaker 07 Brody, have you tried thinking about it?
50:30 Speaker 04 The right answer, Brody, yeah. And if Brody can get this one right, we will double today's donation to a thousand dollars for some lucky conservation group that Nate is going to pick.
50:43 Speaker 07 Oh, shoot.
50:44 Speaker 04 Thousand dollars, Nate.
50:47 Speaker 04 According to 2023 data, what month has not one, not two, not three, the fourth most boating accidents?
50:55 Speaker 07 How conservation-y does it need? Can it be like conservation adjacent?
51:00 Speaker 04 Sure.
51:01 Speaker 07 Okay.
51:01 Speaker 04 Yeah. Question, your question or your answer?
51:04 Speaker 07 My, no, my donation.
51:06 Speaker 04 Oh, okay. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents?
51:13 Speaker 05 I'm gonna donate to TSS.com.
51:16 Speaker 07 Hey.
51:17 Speaker 05 The TSS.
51:18 Speaker 07 Dude, you know what I'm, no, I can't show you because my answer's on there. No tungsten in that turkey I shot.
51:25 Speaker 04 Hmm.
51:25 Speaker 06 Brody, you like your answer? No, I mean, I used some form of logic to get there, but.
51:32 Speaker 04 Sure.
51:33 Speaker 07 It's just like which which holiday does do people get more drunk during? That's the question. No, the fourth most.
51:40 Speaker 06 No, but yeah.
51:42 Speaker 04 He's done his proper rankings and he's arrived at what he believes to be number four. According to 2023 data, what month has the fourth most boating accidents? Got a one in 12th chance here.
51:54 Speaker 07 I don't think it's December.
51:58 Speaker 05 You never know. Could be December in Texas or on the coast somewhere.
52:02 Speaker 04 I think this is one of my favorite questions we've done in a while. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says May. Logan, September. Marge, September.
52:14 Speaker 05 Nice.
52:14 Speaker 04 John, June. Maxwell, September. Brody, September. Number one is July. Number two is August. Number three is June. Number four is May.
52:30 Speaker 09 Sucker Brody did not get that one right. I got Nate down, damn it.
52:35 Speaker 04 So, Memorial Day, baby. Nate got that one right.
52:38 Speaker 05 Wow.
52:39 Speaker 04 It is May. July is when the most boating accidents take place with 936 reported in 2023. That's followed by August at 574, June at 561, May at 462, and September, fifth place, at 368. That's got a full 125 fewer. If I was asking that question, it would have been in order list the top three. The deadliest months are in the winter, though, which is when the highest percentage of boating accidents result in a fatality. In January, 29% of accidents had a death, which is about two and a half times higher than July at 12%.
53:19 Speaker 05 Those crazy duck hunters.
53:20 Speaker 04 It is those crazy.
53:22 Speaker 05 Going out when the weather's not good.
53:24 Speaker 04 All right, Brody is today's winner with nine points, but second place Nate, who got five correct answers, is going to choose where the $500 donation goes. Nate?
53:35 Speaker 07 Pick a good one. Um, we're gonna donate to the Station Foundation, which is a nonprofit that caters towards kinda like tier one military community.
53:43 Speaker 04 Okay.
53:44 Speaker 07 Um, and they just started a hunt track where they take super, they take like four tier one vets, maybe tier two. They take four vets and, um, they run them through the entire process of like never having killed anything in your life besides maybe a human to running around with guns or running around with bows and shooting a critter.
54:05 Speaker 05 What's the difference between tier one and tier two?
54:07 Speaker 07 Tier two would be like your Navy SEAL Ranger Regiment type guys. Tier one would be like, um, right.
54:15 Speaker 07 No, you don't. I don't know. That's a good question. Um, tier one would be like Ranger Reconnaissance SEAL Team Six.
54:21 Speaker 04 Yeah. What's the name of the place one more time?
54:23 Speaker 07 Uh, the Station Foundation Hunt Track.
54:26 Speaker 15 I think we've done a little.
54:27 Speaker 07 Yeah, they do phenomenal work. Um, it's, it's a really small group that they cater to. Um, but it has a huge impact on those guys and, uh, we'd love that they get a little more recognition.
54:37 Speaker 04 That's awesome. Worthy place to get our $500 donation today. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
