2:36 Speaker 03 Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newheart and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Seth, Alex, John, and Sarah. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. Alright, we're starting today's show with a mailbag question. You can send your mailbag questions to [email protected] . The subject line mailbag, Brady Bockler says, "I'm looking to buy my first boat this year, but I've always heard the saying about how the best day of boat ownership is the day you buy
3:19 Speaker 03 it, and the second best day is the day you sell it. Is that true? Are boats that big of a headache?" Seth, do you have any thoughts on...
3:26 Speaker 04 No, boats are the best thing you'll ever do in your life.
3:29 Speaker 03 Wow, he just had a baby, what, two months ago?
3:33 Speaker 04 Yeah, that's pretty sweet too.
3:34 Speaker 05 Yeah, a boat doesn't shit its pants. Boats, baby.
3:37 Speaker 04 Listen, there's so much you can do with a boat. And if you, I guess it depends if, if you're like freaking lazy and let it go to shit.
3:46 Speaker 03 Hmm, yes.
3:47 Speaker 04 But if you take care of it, you'll have the best times of your life on the water.
3:51 Speaker 03 Okay.
3:52 Speaker 05 Yeah, you'd be doing all kinds of things you weren't able to do without it.
3:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
3:56 Speaker 03 Any other boat owners want to add some perspective for Brady?
4:00 Speaker 05 I love my boat. I want another one. I would have two or three if I could. I had two for a while. I bought and sold a boat.
4:08 Speaker 04 I think it's necessary to have like three to four boats.
4:10 Speaker 05 Yeah. I bought and sold a boat before putting it in the water.
4:15 Speaker 03 Okay.
4:15 Speaker 05 Just when I bought it on Craigslist.
4:17 Speaker 03 You do this with guns too.
4:20 Speaker 05 But also, when I started working, it was when...
4:22 Speaker 03 It was like right before I moved over here and I was like, oh, just sell that. Yeah. One fewer trip towing something. You don't even like guns and boats. I'm realizing you just like negotiating with strangers. Yeah, there is.
4:32 Speaker 04 You just like buying itself.
4:33 Speaker 03 There's something exciting about that. Uh, okay, Brady, uh, Brody and Seth tell you get that boat. Uh, don't listen to the folks who say the second best days. And buy it you.
4:44 Speaker 04 I wonder what he wants to get. God, I'm dying to know now.
4:46 Speaker 03 I'll ask, I'll, uh, check back in with Brady and see if we can, uh, get an answer to that. All right. We have some housekeeping on last week's episode of trivia, the wives episode. The tiebreaker question was about how many stars are in the Big Dipper? The correct answer was seven, but in the overtime excitement, my wife Shelby missed the flavor text, which included a callback that I was very proud of. So I'm going to read that today. All right. Earlier in the episode, they talked about the Lakota lore behind Devil's Tower. According to them, seven sisters climbed a small butte to escape a group of hungry bears. As the bears got close, the earth shook until the tiny hill turned into an enormous tower. The bears continued to climb and slide down backwards, which gave the butte its ribbed appearance.
5:28 Speaker 03 Eventually the bears were buried alive by falling rocks and the seven sisters escaped. Now here's the tie in the Lakota say the seven sisters who evaded the bears on Devil's Tower weren't able to get down from the butte. Instead, they rolled birds into the sky and became the seven stars that formed the Big Dipper. Hmm. So now you know, when you're looking up the Big Dipper, those, uh, came.
5:49 Speaker 05 You'd tell that story to Virgil.
5:50 Speaker 04 Yeah.
5:51 Speaker 03 There you go. That's perfect. On your boat.
5:53 Speaker 04 On the boat.
5:55 Speaker 03 Best thing that's ever happened to him. All right. The Shelby index for today is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
6:07 Speaker 06 Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.
6:22 Speaker 03 Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is fishing, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass?
6:43 Speaker 03 One of those is a cool water fish. Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass? Brody, quick to answer.
6:56 Speaker 05 Yeah, it was a pretty easy one, I feel like.
6:58 Speaker 03 Okay, easy one. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Black crappie, walleye, brook trout, largemouth bass? Bet Brady won't get this one right, but once he's a boat owner,
7:14 Speaker 03 he'll have the knowledge.
7:16 Speaker 05 Yeah, I hope he sends in a photo of his boat.
7:18 Speaker 03 Okay, maybe his baby too. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says, "Brook trout." Sarah, "Walleye." Randall, "Brook trout." John, "Brook trout." Alex, "Brook trout." Brody, "Walleye." The correct answer is walleye, Brody, and Sarah.
7:37 Speaker 05 Brook trout's cold water.
7:38 Speaker 03 Got that one right.
7:40 Speaker 03 Black crappie and largemouth bass are warm water fish. Brook trout are cold water fish. And walleye are cool water fish. Cool water fish prefer colder water than warm water fish, and warmer water than cold water fish. Other cool water species are northern pike, saugger, and yellow perch. Cool water fish is the in-between between warm and cold. You don't say. Question two. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Thomas Peterson. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects.
8:27 Speaker 03 Randall, Sarah, Brody, Seth, Alex, all quick to answer. John is joining them. This may be a 100%er. Sodium Borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects.
8:45 Speaker 04 Sort of in the name.
8:46 Speaker 03 Okay, there's a hint. John, do you have this one right?
8:51 Speaker 04 I think so. I have a five-letter word.
8:53 Speaker 03 Our players think they are six for six. Sodium Borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, and Sarah, and Randall, the whole room says Borax. The whole room got that right. It is Borax. B-O-R-A-X. Borax is a white powder that helps preserve the skin of mammals, birds, and fish. It's made synthetically, but also occurs in nature. When seasonal lakes dry and leave a mineral deposit, Borax is commonly used in cleaning products, laundry boosters, hand soaps, and tooth bleaching formulas.
9:35 Speaker 03 Brody, are you a Borax user for your homemade European mounts?
9:40 Speaker 05 Oh, no, I don't use it on skulls.
9:42 Speaker 03 I feel like I hear guys use it on skulls.
9:44 Speaker 05 I'm sure they have, but no.
9:45 Speaker 03 It's the same thing.
9:47 Speaker 05 No bleach, nothing harsh on skulls, man. It just ruins them.
9:50 Speaker 03 Hmm, sodium Borate, also known as Borax. Question three. The topic is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball.
10:10 Speaker 03 Randall has his answer. Our other five players have blank whiteboards. Again, this is question three. We're flying through them today.
10:19 Speaker 04 Yeah.
10:19 Speaker 03 Topic is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Seth, do you have this one right?
10:33 Speaker 04 Hmm, I, I think so, but hmm, maybe not.
10:38 Speaker 03 Okay.
10:39 Speaker 04 We ought to fill the time here. Drag this out for more ad rolls.
10:42 Speaker 03 Seth, tell us about a bad day of boat ownership. The worst day of boat ownership that you've had.
10:49 Speaker 03 Just so we know it's all not cotton candy and rainbows.
10:52 Speaker 04 Hmm, trying to think the worst day of boat ownership I've ever had.
10:56 Speaker 03 Yeah, you'd like, uh, had a tire fall off your trailer. Motor wouldn't start.
11:02 Speaker 04 Ask Brody about tire falling off the trailer.
11:05 Speaker 03 Ball bearings go bad or what?
11:06 Speaker 05 An hour on, well, I mean, it's
11:09 Speaker 05 with the boat Seth had, that Seth no longer has.
11:12 Speaker 03 You were going eighty miles an hour? And did it just come off or did you like feel it?
11:16 Speaker 05 It blew off.
11:17 Speaker 03 Oh, my goodness.
11:18 Steven Rinella? Single axle?
11:19 Speaker 04 Yeah.
11:20 Speaker 05 Yeah.
11:20 Speaker 03 Oh, that's That'd stop you in a hurry.
11:22 Speaker 05 Yeah.
11:23 Speaker 03 Where'd that tire end up going?
11:25 Speaker 05 Off in a ditch. I got it back. Actually, it was like the, the damage was minimal.
11:31 Speaker 04 Yeah.
11:31 Speaker 05 Guys, surprise.
11:32 Speaker 03 Oh.
11:34 Speaker 05 Anyway, you got me. I'm trying to think of this.
11:36 Speaker 03 Okay, we gotta leave Brody alone.
11:39 Speaker 04 Not a lot of
11:40 Speaker 05 When you, how about when you broke down that one?
11:42 Speaker 04 Yeah, I just thought of that. We, we were up in Alaska one time and our motor wouldn't start.
11:48 Speaker 03 Hmm.
11:49 Speaker 04 And I, I look up and I just see a wall of fricking water coming towards us.
11:53 Speaker 03 Uh oh.
11:54 Speaker 04 And it's getting windy and we're out there in the fricking gray blue ocean.
11:58 Speaker 03 Okay.
11:59 Speaker 04 In a seventeen foot skiff, yeah. And I had to call Steve and he had to come tow, tow us back.
12:06 Speaker 03 Okay, you got
12:06 Speaker 04 Were you there, bro? Did you come? Did you come out with it?
12:09 Speaker 05 No. When I broke down on that same trip. In low red, yeah, we got stranded.
12:14 Speaker 03 Ooh, bad weekend to be a boat owner.
12:17 Speaker 04 Yeah.
12:17 Speaker 03 That's right. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe.
12:21 Speaker 05 I can't think of the word.
12:22 Speaker 03 Produces a large fruit.
12:23 Speaker 05 Forget it.
12:24 Speaker 03 That is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Sarah, do you have this one right?
12:31 Speaker 05 What is it?
12:33 Speaker 07 Probably not.
12:33 Speaker 03 No, Alex, do you have this one right? I listed a tribe from Oklahoma. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Osage Orange. Sarah, Seneca, Randall, Osage. John, without an answer. Alex says Comanche, Brody, Persimmon. The correct answer is Osage Orange. I think we'll give it to Randall, right? Yeah.
12:59 Speaker 04 Yeah, you give it to him.
13:02 Speaker 03 It was close, though. Osage orange lumber is coveted by woodworkers for furniture, kitchenware, and musical instruments. While ancient humans liked it for making bows, because very few animals take an interest in the fruit, some biologists believe it's an example of anachronism evolution. This idea says that the animal responsible for spreading Osage oranges is now extinct, and that it may have been a favorite food source for mastodons or ground sloths. A similar theory exists for avocados. Here is a picture of it.
13:34 Speaker 05 If animals don't like it, why do they call it a horse apple and a monkey ball?
13:38 Speaker 03 Well, maybe horses like it, but they're also not, you know, around since the Ice Age.
13:43 Speaker 05 I point out, there's horses around the Ice Age. And the Nukem family.
13:47 Speaker 03 And the Nukem family. Yeah, for perspective, if you're watching this on YouTube, those Osage oranges are like baseball to softball size. Those are, uh, big old fruits that are made on these trees.
13:57 Speaker 05 You can huck those things.
13:59 Speaker 03 Question four. The topic is conservation. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats.
14:15 Speaker 03 Our players are stumped. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. Seth, did you just come up with the correct answer?
14:29 Speaker 04 No, I don't know. First thing, first thing that popped in my head.
14:32 Speaker 03 Okay.
14:33 Speaker 04 I don't even know if it's an island nation.
14:35 Speaker 03 We are on question four.
14:38 Speaker 05 I noticed this during the news show, uh, last week, and I'm looking on the, around the room at like Seth, Randall, and Brody. It was probably a mistake to paint the walls of this room a color that's just a couple of shades off from a very popular first light. That's correct. I'll note I didn't vote for this color.
14:54 Speaker 03 What did you vote for?
14:56 Speaker 05 I don't remember. It's not this.
14:58 Speaker 03 Cal print.
14:58 Speaker 05 Remember losing.
14:59 Speaker 03 Steve asked for my input, but I didn't feel like he actually wanted my input.
15:03 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's kind of what this.
15:03 Speaker 03 He was just hoping that I would say his answer.
15:05 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's where I was.
15:08 Speaker 03 This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. Brody, do you have this one right?
15:17 Speaker 05 I got an answer that makes sense.
15:19 Speaker 03 Okay.
15:19 Speaker 05 That's all I can say.
15:20 Speaker 03 Two of our players have answers.
15:22 Speaker 05 Hmm.
15:23 Speaker 03 That they feel okay about.
15:26 Speaker 03 This is question four.
15:28 Speaker 05 Geez, it's tough.
15:32 Speaker 03 This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats.
15:41 Speaker 05 The gas station cooler is catching me off.
15:42 Speaker 07 It's throwing me off.
15:43 Speaker 03 Yeah. Okay, you could just throw that out of the question if you'd like.
15:47 Speaker 05 That's how I got it.
15:49 Speaker 03 Okay.
15:49 Speaker 05 If I got it.
15:50 Speaker 03 All right. Brody thinks that's an important part of the question.
15:55 Speaker 05 Hmm. Yeah, if I got it, that's the only, the only way I got it.
16:01 Speaker 03 Hmm.
16:03 Speaker 05 Hmm. It's not Bush Light. I rolled that out.
16:07 Speaker 03 It's not Snapple.
16:09 Speaker 07 No.
16:09 Speaker 03 The Bush Nation.
16:16 Speaker 03 Randall.
16:18 Speaker 05 Are you just? Oh, you're dragging this one out. You're waiting on me?
16:21 Speaker 03 Well, I'm gonna ask that you either fill the airwaves with something interesting or write down an answer.
16:28 Speaker 05 I hosted some trivia this past weekend.
16:31 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
16:31 Speaker 05 Where at?
16:32 Speaker 03 This is a good start. Tell us about that.
16:33 Speaker 05 At an ELR match in, in, uh,
16:35 Speaker 03 Oh.
16:35 Speaker 05 Southeastern Wyoming. Twenty questions.
16:37 Speaker 03 Hmm.
16:38 Speaker 05 We went to a tiebreaker.
16:39 Speaker 03 Wow.
16:40 Speaker 05 I was thinking about sharing the questions with everybody to see how you guys scored. The two, the two teams that went to the tiebreaker each had, uh, eighteen out of twenty correct.
16:49 Speaker 03 Wow.
16:50 Speaker 05 So I felt good about that.
16:51 Speaker 03 You know what? That's, that's a perfect round of trivia.
16:53 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's what I thought.
16:53 Speaker 03 Your top performers.
16:54 Speaker 05 Shout out, shout out Jose. Were they, um, all ELR-related questions? They were all ballistics and rifle-related questions. And I had a gentleman come up to me afterwards who had written- A book on ballistics and he said he really enjoyed the trivia and he thought it was well done.
17:09 Speaker 03 That's great. Now you can, uh, you've banked some questions for a future episode.
17:14 Speaker 05 I don't know. I think we had stuff like.
17:16 Speaker 03 Too hard?
17:17 Speaker 05 Yeah, like rank these powders by burn rate.
17:20 Speaker 03 Okay.
17:21 Speaker 05 Things of that nature.
17:22 Speaker 03 Okay. With that little filler content, did you come up with an answer, Randall?
17:27 Speaker 05 No.
17:28 Speaker 03 This island nation whose name you might see in a gas station cooler is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats.
17:34 Speaker 05 Kind of unfair that I have to fill your.
17:36 Speaker 04 That's what we're refrigerator, right?
17:37 Speaker 05 We've gone.
17:38 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says, uh, Fuji, we got there without an answer, Randall without an answer. Brody says Fiji.
17:48 Speaker 03 I didn't even think about water. The correct answer is Fiji.
17:52 Speaker 04 Is it Fiji?
17:53 Speaker 03 F I J I.
17:55 Speaker 04 Are we gonna, are we giving it to Seth?
17:56 Speaker 03 Or what do we think of giving it to Seth? He wrote down the apple.
18:00 Speaker 04 Is it an apple? I don't know.
18:01 Speaker 03 We'll give it to him. Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is about two thirds the size of Hawaii. The islands are home to some species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world. And true to its name, Fiji water comes from an aquifer on Fiji's biggest island. If you'd asked me beforehand, like, does Fiji water come from Fiji? I'd be like, not a chance.
18:22 Speaker 05 No way.
18:23 Speaker 03 But it actually does. So I'm very impressed.
18:25 Speaker 05 This wild.
18:26 Speaker 03 Question five. The topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Leland Hart. We're sending this great question. Leland is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, send your question to trivia at the meat eater.
18:42 Speaker 04 We're gonna have to start paying Leland a salary.
18:44 Speaker 07 I've heard that name a lot.
18:45 Speaker 05 Leland Hart, that's, he needs an esquire behind this. It's like, it's like that kind of.
18:49 Speaker 07 Southern lawyer.
18:50 Speaker 03 He was one of our, uh, best attendees to, uh, Media Radio Live, R I P. And he sends me plenty of trivia questions. Here is his listener question of the week. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle.
19:08 Speaker 03 We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. An outside skirt steak comes from this five letter muscle.
19:19 Speaker 03 Randall playing some hangman, but he doesn't seem to like what he wrote down.
19:27 Speaker 05 I got nine letters. I ain't messing around.
19:29 Speaker 03 Okay. Fiji water Brody thinks he has it.
19:35 Speaker 05 I don't know. I got nine letters.
19:37 Speaker 03 Hmm.
19:39 Speaker 03 An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. Next time I need to buy a bottle of water. I'm gonna get Fiji just to see if I can taste.
19:48 Speaker 07 It's pretty good bottled water.
19:50 Speaker 03 Are you, are you a purist when it comes to bottled water? Can you like, could we do a Pepsi challenge where you're blindfolded and you drink Dasani versus Smart Water?
19:59 Speaker 07 I mean, I could probably tell the difference between good and bad. And I have an idea of what brands are good and which ones are bad.
20:06 Speaker 03 Fiji falls on the good side of that spectrum.
20:07 Speaker 07 Fiji falls on the good side. Dasani falls on the bad side.
20:10 Speaker 04 Amen.
20:11 Speaker 07 Pretty, that's terrible water. But I tend to, I don't buy bottled water.
20:17 Speaker 07 It's more of a principle thing.
20:18 Speaker 03 An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. Phil, do you have bottled water takes?
20:23 Speaker 04 Not at all, except that Dasani is bad. That's the one, sort of like Sarah, it's like good and bad. Dasani is the one where I'm like, this is just, this is a tier below, you know?
20:32 Speaker 07 Like Ice Mountain is a really good one.
20:33 Speaker 03 Hmm. Ice Mountain is the one. Don't they have like nine names depending on where you live in the country? It's like Deer Park if you're in New York and it's Ice Mountain over here.
20:41 Speaker 07 Yeah. Up in the Northeast.
20:43 Speaker 03 Glacier if you're over here.
20:44 Speaker 07 Poland Spring is good. Poland Springs.
20:46 Speaker 03 Sarah, do you have this one right?
20:48 Speaker 07 Uh, I have a nine letter muscle.
20:51 Speaker 03 Outside.
20:52 Speaker 07 Geographically makes sense.
20:53 Speaker 03 Okay. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle.
21:00 Speaker 07 I don't know if cows have this muscle.
21:02 Speaker 03 Hmm. Is everybody ready?
21:06 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth without an answer. Sarah says Trap, Traprzius? Trapezius. Randall, Quadrisep. John without an answer. Alex without an answer. Brody says diaphragm. Brody got it!
21:21 Speaker 04 Ah!
21:21 Speaker 03 The correct answer is the diaphragm.
21:25 Speaker 05 Yeah, I I I've heard I've heard it called a hanger steak. Oh. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.
21:30 Speaker 04 I wrote down diaphragm, but I was like.
21:32 Speaker 05 But I don't even know if the two things are the same.
21:35 Speaker 04 If you if you listen to, uh, well, by the time this airs, Monday's episode of the Meat Eater Podcast, this is discussed.
21:42 Speaker 07 Yeah.
21:42 Speaker 03 Okay. The skirt steak is also known as the Philadelphia steak or fajita steak. The outside skirt comes from the diaphragm, while the inside skirt comes from the transversus abdominis. It is a flat, tough cut of meat with a thick grain. For more on skirt steaks, go watch Yanni's video on the meat eater dot com called How to Prepare a Venison Skirt Steak.
22:05 Speaker 05 What about hanger steak?
22:06 Speaker 04 Well, yeah, so that's what that's what we discussed. The hanger steak is known in, uh, it's it's like the legs of the diaphragm. So it's part of that muscle, but it's just kind of like some of the, uh, the outside.
22:15 Speaker 03 Good clarity.
22:15 Speaker 07 That's an underrated cut.
22:17 Speaker 03 Phil, scoreboard update.
22:19 Speaker 04 Oh, yes, it's that time, isn't it? Here we are at halftime. Everyone's on the board. John and Alex have one point apiece. Sarah and Randall are up next with two points. Seth has three, and in first place, it's Brody Henderson. He's got four points.
22:33 Speaker 03 Oh, you had diaphragm?
22:34 Speaker 04 Yeah, I wrote it down.
22:35 Speaker 05 I had diaphragm too.
22:36 Speaker 04 I was like, that's inside.
22:37 Speaker 05 No. I had I had diaphragm too, and I was just thinking, I convinced myself that hanger steak and a skirt steak weren't the same thing.
22:44 Speaker 07 Well, they're not.
22:45 Speaker 03 So close.
22:46 Speaker 05 Yeah.
22:46 Speaker 07 It's just like different.
22:47 Speaker 05 So I was right. So I was right.
22:49 Speaker 07 Yeah.

25:59 Speaker 03 Question six, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Micah Greenway. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick.
26:16 Speaker 03 Randall, quick to answer this one. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. Phil, can you turn the camera off me real quick?
26:29 Speaker 04 Are you serious?
26:30 Speaker 05 Yeah, I'm gonna take my hoodie off and I'm gonna pull it over my head. It's probably gonna lift my shirt up.
26:34 Speaker 04 It's on Spencer. So Spencer, you make some facial expressions based on what you see.
26:38 Speaker 03 I will, I'll observe. Yeah, no skin showed. That is perfectly acceptable.
26:44 Speaker 05 Just in case, I just thought, I wanted to be very conservative there.
26:48 Speaker 03 Yeah, we don't want to call any attention to that.
26:51 Speaker 05 Lots of chemicals on my clothing today, so I didn't know it'd stick together.
26:55 Speaker 03 This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. And Randall is very confident that he has this one right. Alex, do you have this one right?
27:08 Steven Rinella? No.
27:10 Speaker 05 I'm coming from behind now, so I'm just, it's not that I'm confident. It's that I'm at ease. It's not a lot of pressure.
27:18 Speaker 03 Alex and I have the same uniform on today, black shirt and green first light hat.
27:24 Speaker 03 Brody, do you have this one right?
27:25 Speaker 05 I don't know. I'll justify my answer.
27:28 Speaker 03 Okay, this hunter carried an H and H Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick.
27:37 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
27:39 Speaker 07 Go for it.
27:39 Speaker 03 Go ahead and reveal your answer Seth and Sarah. That an answer Randall says TR John Teddy Roosevelt Alex Teddy Roosevelt Brody Roosevelt. They got it. The correct answer is Teddy Roosevelt.
27:53 Speaker 05 Shout out Big John.
27:54 Speaker 07 So when they say speak softly and carry a big stick, they're just referring to.
27:59 Speaker 03 I'll tell you about the H and H Royal Double Rifle was chambered in 50450. Its nickname was inspired by his big stick diplomacy, which derived from his quote, speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far. TR used the gun on an African safari where he killed dangerous game, including eight elephants. And here is a picture of TR with that big stick and a rhino he killed and a, what are those called buzzards? No, is that what it is?
28:29 Speaker 05 No, it's some kind of like.
28:31 Speaker 03 Bustard?
28:32 Speaker 05 It's like a stort or a current. Yeah, some like long legged. Uh, Randall, you got, how come you haven't gotten into the, the, the double big game rifles? Oh, I'd love to. I mean, that's a, it's not really a working man's rifle.
28:48 Speaker 05 Carry that around the mountains for elk? Cabela's used to sell a, a side by, I don't know, they might still, but I remember as a child really wanting a side by side black powder. They called it like the Kodiak Double Express or something and you could get it, I believe you could get it in 72 caliber side by side black powder. It weighed like 20 pounds.
29:07 Speaker 03 Oh, but could you imagine? Uh, that bird is, it's a cordy bustard, which is Africa's largest flying bird.
29:15 Speaker 05 Oh, you nailed it.
29:16 Speaker 03 The bustard on the big stick diplomacy. I think that was about when he was discussing war with other nations that, uh, you come ready to negotiate and you just like are very pragmatic. And if things don't go your way, then you have the big stick that you can swing. Question seven, the topic is wildlife. This 10 letter word is defined as quote, the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.
29:52 Speaker 03 This ten-letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.
30:05 Speaker 03 Brody locks in his answer. Whiteboard is down.
30:10 Speaker 03 Sarah doing some counting. Randall looking at the answer, looking at the question, looking back at the answer. Do you like what you have, Randall?
30:18 Speaker 05 No, I have nine letters. Just throw an extra one in there. You've got it right.
30:22 Speaker 04 Just put an E at the end.
30:24 Speaker 05 I think so.
30:27 Speaker 03 This ten-letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.
30:41 Speaker 03 The answer is now entered. Randall's brain.
30:44 Speaker 05 I just needed a different form of the same word.
30:46 Speaker 03 Oh, wow.
30:47 Speaker 05 You know, we should have a spelling bee sometime.
30:50 Speaker 04 Leave me out.
30:52 Speaker 04 I can compete.
30:52 Speaker 03 I've discussed this exact thing with Phil on a future concept where we do just a product that is strictly video rather than video and audio and a spelling bee would potentially be part of that.
31:05 Speaker 07 So if I have a different form of the word that doesn't have ten letters?
31:08 Speaker 03 Not gonna give you any hints. You need to have a ten-letter word. Ten-letter word that means the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.
31:22 Speaker 05 You'll get there. I wish it was nine. I feel like it should be nine.
31:26 Speaker 07 Should be nine.
31:27 Speaker 03 Seth has tapped out on this one.
31:29 Speaker 05 Or.
31:30 Speaker 03 He's already moved on to the next question.
31:33 Speaker 07 Yeah, like twelve.
31:33 Speaker 04 I think I was good for about three questions being right and I used all up already.
31:38 Speaker 03 Okay.
31:40 Speaker 05 I think I wrote a middle school report on this word. About why it is okay to do.
31:46 Speaker 03 Okay. I would like to hear a middle schooler's perspective.
31:49 Speaker 05 Way before I ever even understood what it actually was.
31:56 Speaker 03 Seth is maybe coming. Did it just hit you, Seth, as to what it could be?
32:06 Speaker 03 Is everybody ready?
32:07 Speaker 04 I'm one letter too long now.
32:09 Speaker 03 Uh oh, okay, no one else had that problem. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says putting down.
32:16 Speaker 07 There it is.
32:16 Speaker 03 Sarah euthanized Randall euthanasia John euthanized Alex euthanized Brody euthanasia. The correct answer is euthanasia. What do we think about euthanasia? I have ten letters. Past tense. It's not tense. What are we doing here? Well euthanized is tense.
32:35 Speaker 05 Are euthanized?
32:37 Speaker 03 Yeah.
32:37 Speaker 05 Past tense?
32:38 Speaker 03 They did the past tense.
32:39 Speaker 04 He was euthanized.
32:40 Speaker 07 Yeah.
32:41 Speaker 04 Yeah, you put it.
32:42 Speaker 07 I think, I think we should get it.
32:43 Speaker 05 Okay, you have to remind me which people said.
32:45 Speaker 03 But then euthanized should also.
32:46 Speaker 07 The spirit of the rule, especially.
32:48 Speaker 03 Alex and Sarah.
32:49 Speaker 05 What's that euthanize?
32:50 Speaker 03 Yeah.
32:50 Speaker 05 Yeah.
32:50 Speaker 07 It's the spirit of the, it's the spirit of the question. We got the spirit of the question.
32:53 Speaker 04 Yeah, you know, it's like putting them down.
32:57 Speaker 03 It's estimated that about 600,000 shelter animals were euthanized in 2024. As for wildlife, 2022 data shows that 400,000 wild animals were intentionally killed by the USDA that year. That includes 56,000 coyotes, 26,000 beavers, 2,000 foxes, 500 bobcats, 500 black bears, 200 wolves, 200 mountain lions and seven grizzlies.
33:22 Speaker 04 Now, hold on there Spencer.
33:24 Speaker 05 That's not euthan, they're not killing animals that were hopelessly sick or injured. They're, they're killing vermin.
33:31 Speaker 03 Um, I mean, I, I think you could have a different, a different definition of euthanized that just means like simply.
33:37 Speaker 05 They euthanizing coyotes, dude.
33:40 Speaker 07 Yeah, that's not euthanasia.
33:41 Speaker 05 That's not euthanasia. They're like eliminating coyotes because they don't want them around.
33:46 Speaker 04 Or they're, they count animals caught in traps.
33:48 Speaker 07 Yeah. Yeah.
33:49 Speaker 03 All right, I would, I'd accept that, that argument. I feel like it's, it's just like a mercy killing.
33:55 Speaker 04 Spencer, I bet you found that somewhere and that's how it was worded.
33:58 Speaker 07 The person who told you that.
33:59 Speaker 03 We're on to question eight.
34:01 Speaker 04 Trust me.
34:01 Speaker 03 Topic is gear. This next great question is via Charlie McDonald.
34:07 Speaker 03 This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in 1969.
34:19 Speaker 07 I needed a win. John, you better not put this.
34:21 Speaker 05 Yeah, store boy.
34:23 Speaker 03 Hmm.
34:23 Speaker 04 Oh, I got this one. I got this one.
34:26 Speaker 05 Oh, wait, I just.
34:27 Speaker 03 Okay, this brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in nineteen sixty-nine.
34:41 Speaker 03 Okay, some quick answers and then some changed answers.
34:45 Speaker 07 Well, you're asking about the brand.
34:46 Speaker 05 Yeah, I'm unclear on what you're asking for.
34:48 Speaker 03 We're looking for the brand.
34:50 Speaker 05 Okay.
34:50 Speaker 03 This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through.
34:56 Speaker 04 So if you put the fabric down, you're wrong.
34:58 Speaker 07 Yeah.
34:58 Speaker 03 Put down the brand that made the fabric.
35:03 Speaker 05 Well, it's kind of the same, aren't they?
35:05 Speaker 04 Well.
35:06 Speaker 03 The brand, well.
35:07 Speaker 07 Depends how specific.
35:08 Speaker 04 The brand and the company, I think, are two different things.
35:11 Speaker 03 This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in nineteen sixty-nine. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Gore, Sarah, W L Gore, Randall, Gore Tex, John.
35:30 Speaker 04 It's W L Gore.
35:31 Speaker 03 W L Gore, Tex, John, Gore, Alex, Gore Tex, Brody, Gore. Uh, the correct answer is Gore Tex. We'll give you the variations.
35:40 Speaker 07 That's not the brand, that's the fabric.
35:42 Speaker 03 Uh, Gore Tex is the brand, I believe, and I think they've got like the.
35:46 Speaker 04 I thought Gore's the brand.
35:47 Speaker 05 I thought Gore's the company. Gore's the company, but it's branded with Gore Tex.
35:50 Speaker 04 Oh, man. A lot of dog montages in this one.
35:53 Speaker 03 Any, any version of Gore that you said, the W L Gore is the Gore Tex. Gore Tex.
35:59 Speaker 05 That stinks. Man, I'm getting tired.
36:00 Speaker 03 Gore Tex was created when Bob Gore realized he could stretch P F T E rods to make a micro porous fabric. The first commercial products to use it were tents and jackets. Now you'll find it across the outdoor industry in rain gear, boots and gloves from Adidas to Patagonia.
36:18 Speaker 05 It's like if you had a question about Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and someone said Yum Brands.
36:23 Speaker 03 Yum Brands, okay.
36:24 Speaker 05 Like, I would say Yum Brands is not the brand, even though the name makes it even more confusing now.
36:28 Speaker 03 Hmm.
36:29 Speaker 05 I would say the brand is still Taco Bell.
36:31 Speaker 03 Who else rolls up under that conglomerate?
36:33 Speaker 05 I think that's just it.
36:34 Speaker 03 It's just those three.
36:35 Speaker 05 That's why you get this. Well, I don't know if that's still a thing, but it used to. Get sweet like combos.
36:40 Speaker 03 Oh, well, sometimes you've got the Taco Bell Pizza Hut. Bozeman here with the A and W Taco Bell.
36:46 Speaker 05 I think KFC was a yum brand.
36:48 Speaker 03 No, we have A and W KFC. That's.
36:50 Speaker 05 Somebody's gonna, somebody's gonna.
36:52 Speaker 07 Someone will correct.
36:52 Speaker 05 Destroy me in the comments. Long John Silver's too in A and W?
36:57 Speaker 03 That sounds familiar. That's not what we have in Bozeman.
36:59 Speaker 05 Oh, I love Long John Silver's.
37:03 Speaker 05 No, Red Lobster stat.
37:06 Speaker 03 We have two questions left, Phil. Give us a scoreboard update.
37:09 Speaker 04 Oh, well, it's gonna be tough for anyone to catch Brody. He's currently in first place.
37:13 Speaker 03 Oh, I really screwed the pooch.
37:15 Speaker 04 He's two points ahead of the second place contestant, Randall Williams, who did come back. He's got five. And then Seth, Sarah, Alex have four points. John has three. I don't even feel good.
37:26 Speaker 03 It's honestly the most points I've ever had in trivia.
37:28 Speaker 07 I was about to say.
37:29 Speaker 03 Yeah.
37:30 Speaker 07 No offense, but it's a good performance for you.
37:32 Speaker 03 Okay, two questions left to topple that high score, Alex. Question nine, the topic is wildlife. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? Brody, finish his answer before I finish the question that's probably locked in his victory. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? Sarah, do you have this one right? Maybe.
38:08 Speaker 07 I have an animal that looks like it has a star nose.
38:11 Speaker 03 She's, uh, she's playing for second place. See if she can beat Randall.
38:17 Speaker 03 Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms? And we'll have some story time with Brody after the answer's.
38:27 Speaker 05 If I got the answer right.
38:29 Speaker 02 Story time with Brody.
38:31 Speaker 05 Can we clip that?
38:32 Speaker 02 Nah, nah, nah.
38:34 Speaker 05 Now, hold on.
38:37 Speaker 03 American Ma Day.
38:41 Speaker 03 It is one of those back in my. Okay, great. Alex, John, do you boys have an answer?
38:47 Speaker 05 Come on, John.
38:49 Speaker 03 Storeboys are counting on you. Yeah, well. We've got another store boy.
38:55 Speaker 05 You guys sell my bear rug yet? No, but it's hanging in the common area. It's first thing you see when you walk through the door now.
39:01 Speaker 03 Oh wow.
39:01 Speaker 05 Renovations.
39:02 Speaker 03 And the yeah, the next thing you see is that beautiful new three hundred and eighty square feet of floor space.
39:08 Speaker 05 That's right.
39:08 Speaker 03 I haven't seen the updated story yet.
39:10 Speaker 05 If you've been in the meter flagship store since our opening in twenty twenty four. And if you come in now.
39:16 Speaker 03 For a brand new look.
39:18 Speaker 05 Yeah, come on down and the wall that was uh, the TV was on has been pushed back. We took out that whole back room, which was our back stock. Um, and added another three hundred eighty inch uh, square feet.
39:31 Speaker 03 That area where you used to just go smash pizzas and beers with the storeboys.
39:35 Speaker 05 That's where they do their smoke breaks at.
39:37 Speaker 03 Yeah.
39:37 Speaker 05 Yeah.
39:37 Speaker 04 Yeah, where do we smash beers and pizzas now? Downstairs?
39:41 Speaker 05 Okay. Yeah, you could do it downstairs, but it's a little roomier now. He often stopped there on his way home from here.
39:47 Speaker 03 He's going there today.
39:47 Speaker 05 Yeah.
39:48 Speaker 03 Yeah.
39:51 Speaker 03 One more time, star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed. They're all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, mole. Sarah, mole. Randall, mole. Storeboy John without an answer. Applebee's. What is that?
40:08 Speaker 05 Says armadillo.
40:09 Speaker 03 Alex says armadillo. Brody says mole. The correct answer is mole. Moles are subterranean animals, meaning they spend most of their life underground. Although landscapers and gardeners hate them, they provide soil aeration and eat pests that feed on roots. Some moles have toxic saliva that paralyzes worms, which allows them to store their still living prey for later consumption. Researchers have discovered mole food stashes with more than a thousand worms in them. Wow. We are now looking at the star-faced.
40:43 Speaker 07 That is a star-faced.
40:44 Speaker 03 The star-nosed mole, which is native to the eastern United States. You look at that thing, you're like, certainly that lives in Asia or South America, but nope, right here in the lower forty-eight.
40:54 Speaker 05 When I, when I was in high school and early college, I worked on a golf course lands on the grounds crew.
41:00 Speaker 03 You guys especially hate these things.
41:01 Speaker 05 Those boys, the uh, The, the ore boys that owned the course, they did not like moles because they would mess up teas and greens real bad. So we had stomp them whenever we saw them. And you would bring them back at the end, you'd bring your mole kill back at the end of the day and they'd hand out bounties. It was a dollar a mole.
41:23 Speaker 03 Okay.
41:23 Speaker 04 Wow.
41:24 Speaker 05 Which when you were making five bucks an hour, you know.
41:27 Speaker 04 Yeah, the, the snack bar at the, at the country club in the sixties probably get a lot of the dollar.
41:36 Speaker 03 Uh, I imagine they didn't, uh, they weren't able to escape real easy when a boot was coming at them.
41:40 Speaker 05 No, no, they're not real fast.
41:42 Speaker 03 Yeah, okay. Do you know what kind of moles, uh, you were, you were killing? Was, did it, it was that? Okay.
41:49 Speaker 04 Oh, God. I'm glad you did that. That's a horrifying animal.
41:54 Speaker 03 All right, here's the correct answer for you so far. One was walleye. Two, borax. Three, Osage orange. Four, Fiji. Five, diaphragm. Six, Teddy Roosevelt. Seven, euthanasia. Eight, Gore-Tex. Nine, mole. Phil, scoreboard update.
42:12 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah. Sorry, here you are. You could say Brody's practicing safe sex because he just wrapped it up.
42:21 Speaker 04 And he secured the victory. Hey, there's a new one.
42:24 Speaker 05 How long have you been sitting on that, Phil?
42:26 Speaker 04 I was sitting on it for about 45 seconds. I was really proud of it.
42:32 Speaker 03 We were lacking a signature moment for this episode, whatever this is. And they'll just gave it to us. Here's question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Thomas Nethercot. GIS stands for blank, blank, system.
42:50 Speaker 04 I always forget this.
42:53 Speaker 03 GIS stands for blank, blank, system.
42:57 Speaker 04 And this is woodsmanship?
42:59 Speaker 03 Woodsmanship. Cause if you got woodsmanship, you don't need this.
43:03 Speaker 04 That's why I don't know.
43:05 Speaker 03 That's right.
43:06 Speaker 04 Yeah, Virgil, he'll learn to navigate by the stars. That's right.
43:12 Speaker 04 sights and smells.
43:15 Speaker 03 Blank, blank system.
43:16 Speaker 04 Just like a star-nosed mole.
43:20 Speaker 04 Uncle Randall smell like hot dog. I don't think I smell like hot dogs. I think I smell like lighter fluid.
43:26 Speaker 05 Oh, it reeks of hot dog.
43:30 Speaker 03 I thought the primary smell in the office today was onions.
43:34 Speaker 04 That's because Randall's burping them up.
43:36 Speaker 07 No, there was a really good onion onion scene that I witnessed.
43:41 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah, I did chop.
43:42 Speaker 07 Eyes closing.
43:42 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
43:43 Speaker 04 I was crying.
43:44 Speaker 03 Yeah, a lot of competing odors happening in the office today.
43:47 Speaker 04 Yeah, I think we just cut that just to the onion chopping. That would be the best thing we've done as a company.
43:52 Speaker 07 Just keep open flames away from Randall for the next like 12 hours.
43:55 Speaker 03 Randall Williams chopping an onion.
43:57 Speaker 04 Yeah. Alex, I mean, do you disagree?
44:01 Speaker 06 With what?
44:03 Speaker 04 How good my onion chopping scene was.
44:06 Speaker 06 I still taste them in my mouth.

44:21 Speaker 03 Okay.
44:22 Speaker 04 Yeah, it should be at least 19 to 23 seconds long.
44:25 Speaker 06 Very emotional, impactful.
44:28 Speaker 04 I set it up greatly. I said. I looked at the camera with my ingredients. I said, I don't think I need to explain what we're doing here. We just proceed to cook.
44:38 Speaker 03 We should. We should have done it with like the whose line is it anyway thing where someone has their hands tied behind their back and then the other person stands behind them. And they're the ones who are.
44:47 Speaker 04 Let's reshoot the whole thing. Let's reshoot the whole.
44:50 Speaker 03 So we're counting on Randall's eyes and then someone else's arms reaching around him to prepare the hot dogs.
44:55 Speaker 04 That's actually, that would.
44:56 Speaker 03 And then you feed yourself the hot dog as well.
44:58 Speaker 04 Phil, let's cut all this out. That's a great idea for content.
45:03 Speaker 03 Phil, that that always came at the end of the show, right? I imagine you love.
45:05 Speaker 04 Yeah, once they, once they smear whipped cream and peanut butter all over each other, they had kind of had to end the show.
45:10 Speaker 03 It'll take that idea down to the big content firm.
45:13 Speaker 04 Furnace and shovel it in there and keep the, keep the cold going.
45:17 Speaker 03 GIS stands for blank blank system. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
45:24 Speaker 04 I don't know.

Alex, global imperial. Brody, global information. The correct answer is geographic information. Did anybody have that right?
45:50 Speaker 04 I had image.

45:54 Speaker 04 What a bummer of an episode.
45:55 Speaker 03 A zero percenter that we had.
45:57 Speaker 04 Shut it down, Phil. Go ahead and shut it down.
46:00 Speaker 03 GIS is a computer system that captures, stores and displays geographic information. It allows users to create interactive maps to analyze patterns and solve complex location-based issues. While some use it to find the best path for a road, others use it to look for wallows for rutting elk. That makes Brody our winner today with eight correct answers. Brody, what are you gonna do with that $500 donation?
46:26 Speaker 05 Nobody ever claps when I win.
46:27 Speaker 03 I just clapped.
46:28 Speaker 04 They just did a half-hearted clap. What more do you want?
46:32 Speaker 05 Um, I just, did you guys get Montana Outdoors Magazine, the one at FWP?
46:38 Speaker 03 Hmm, I have some years. I don't think I have it right now.
46:41 Speaker 05 You should get, if, uh, most state, uh, agencies have a magazine like that. Anyway, I just got the new one recently and there's an article, article in there about, um, cottonwoods. And like disappearing, like cottonwood habitats kind of disappearing. Um, in Montana in places and, uh, long story short, I'm gonna donate the money to Friends of the Missouri River Brakes because they're doing some cottonwood restoration stuff along the Missouri River.
47:11 Speaker 03 That's great. This part of the world likes to have cottonwoods. We had, uh, the Tree Champion episode on Meat Eater Radio one day and they have a record-breaking cottonwood, the biggest one in the world in Nebraska, and I think there's a different species of cottonwood here in Montana that's, uh, holds the champion tree. Brody sending, donating to Friends of the Missouri Brakes, is that right?
