  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Yannis, Mark, Max, Logan, John, and Brianna. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Meat Eater Trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, Bush Light. Bush Light, head for the mountains. Brianna, first time on the show, tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

• 2:19Speaker 06

  Um, I am executive assistant to Steve and Renella here, and also the philanthropy coordinator. So I take care of Meat Eater Gives. I do a lot of odd tasks for Steve and...

• 2:30Speaker 07

  Like painting a podcast studio?

• 2:32Speaker 06

  I did. I painted a podcast studio.

• 2:34Speaker 07

  Wow, nice work.

• 2:35Speaker 05

  Very powerful person in the office here is Brianna. Control, you know, she controls Steve, uh, more than Steve controls Steve.

• 2:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, if you need something done, you can go to Brianna.

• 2:46Speaker 07

  Hey, and she's kicking butt on the philanthropy stuff. Thank you for all your help.

• 2:49Speaker 06

  Yeah, the auction house has been fun. We earned a lot of money through that, so I've been sending everything out this week.

• 2:55Speaker 05

  Great. And it's wrapped up. You're done with that now?

• 2:57Speaker 07

  Yep.

• 2:58Speaker 05

  Good for you. Uh, hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking, strengths and weaknesses for you?

• 3:04Speaker 06

  Cooking, strength. Um, conservation, middle of the ground, I would say. Hunting, I've never been hunting.

• 3:11Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 3:12Speaker 06

  Um, I've been fishing a lot, but what was the other one?

• 3:15Speaker 05

  Uh, that's all.

• 3:16Speaker 04

  You got it all.

• 3:17Speaker 06

  Okay, good, yeah.

• 3:18Speaker 05

  Welcome to the show, Brianna. Max also joining us. He was gone for a while playing dad. How you doing, Max?

• 3:23Speaker 07

  Doing well.

• 3:24Speaker 05

  Welcome back.

• 3:25Speaker 07

  Yeah, thank you, thank you. Uh, yeah, being a dad's great. It's a lot of fun.

• 3:30Speaker 07

  Is it what you expected? No, I don't think no one prepared me for like the lack of sleep. Yeah, that, I feel like that's something that everybody knows about. Yes.

• 3:42Speaker 07

  They'll tell you that, and you're like, oh, yeah, like, whatever. When you're actually experiencing it, though, it's a different ride. Like, just last night, I was up from, uh, like, 2:00 to 3:30. Um, yeah, so it was like, it's pretty typical, so, uh, but yeah, he's doing great. Um, eating, sleeping, pooping, doing all good things, so.

• 4:01Speaker 05

  It's like dad. We'll see if, uh, if Max has dad brain on trivia or not.

• 4:05Speaker 07

  Alex told me I could use that for excuses. I'm like, I'm not gonna try that.

• 4:08Speaker 05

  That'll work a while.

• 4:09Speaker 07

  We'll see.

• 4:10Speaker 05

  All right, we're starting today's show with a mailbag question. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, then send your question to trivia@themeat eater.com with the subject line mailbag. Adam E. says, "I'm going on a four-day hunting trip into the mountains of the PNW for blacktail and bear with a buddy in late October. He's an experienced outdoorsman, and I'm a greenhorn when it comes to backpacking. I'm a self-taught hunter, but have never done an overnighter. He's been a great mentor, but what advice can you give me that I can have preloaded in my head for the trip?" Yanni, what do you got for Adam?

• 4:42Speaker 04

  Hmm, I wish I knew if Adam was looking for hunting advice for, you know, deep in the backcountry or more for backpacking.

• 4:49Speaker 05

  He didn't ask about gear, but I imagine he would take any gear advice, any, uh, mental advice you have for him.

• 4:55Speaker 04

  What did you take it? What kind of advice do you think he's looking for?

• 4:57Speaker 05

  Hmm, I, I think he just wants like a couple tips that he hasn't read online that, um, you know, he's, he's not... Something from someone who's spent a lot of nights in the mountains like you, Yanni. That's what he wants.

• 5:12Speaker 04

  Well, on the topic of gear, less is more.

• 5:15Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 5:16Speaker 04

  Ditch the crocs. You don't need camp shoes, because when you go to bed, you're just gonna take your boots off and get in your... Ditch all the extras. Really look at every piece of gear and think, do I have a really good two or maybe three reasons to bring this item along? And if you can't come with, up with at least two, then just leave it. You can probably just, uh, just look at all your clothes and take away two layers. You're still gonna be fine, because you have a sleeping bag with you. Um, less is more. You're gonna be carrying it around all the time and pound, what do they say? Ounces add up to pounds, and pounds add up to pain.

• 5:49Speaker 05

  Okay, that's perfect advice, Yanni. Well done.

• 5:51Speaker 04

  Well, thanks, Spencer.

• 5:52Speaker 05

  Uh, Marcus, Logan, what, what do you got for Adam?

• 5:55Speaker 07

  I got one. Uh, bring a book. Maybe not physical, if you wanna watch weight.

• 6:00Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 6:01Speaker 07

  Bring an ebook on your phone or something, but you're liable to get rained in at least one day possibly, and you're stuck in your tent all day long. If, if for some reason it's nasty gnarly and you're not going out there, especially against, you know, Pacific Northwest.

• 6:12Speaker 05

  PNW in late October.

• 6:13Speaker 07

  That could be up there. So have a little something if you get stuck in the tent for an extended period.

• 6:19Speaker 05

  There you go. Logan?

• 6:21Speaker 07

  Um, you know, I honestly don't do too much backpacking hunting. Um, I have seen some places other people choose to camp, and it's like right where all the elk are. And I feel like that tends to throw them off, like your sense in that area. So like, I, I don't know. For me personally, I try not to camp like where I know the elk are. I'm not like camping in them. I'm camping kinda like off to the side where my scent's not blowing into them. Personally, I don't know if that's, you know.

• 6:47Speaker 05

  Any other advice for Adam on his first backpacking overnighter?

• 6:52Speaker 07

  Download your Onyx maps.

• 6:53Speaker 05

  There you go.

• 6:54Speaker 07

  Yep. Scat out, uh, potential water sources. Don't camp too far away from water sources if that's possible. Scout out hunt areas. Even get boots on the ground beforehand, uh, before the actual hunt days would be best-case scenario.

• 7:10Speaker 05

  There you go. All right, good luck, Adam. Okay, we have some housekeeping to get to. On a previous episode, we had a trivia question about the price of a federal duck stamp. The correct answer was what, Maxwell?

• 7:21Speaker 04

  $25.

• 7:21Speaker 05

  $25. Uh, but a couple dozen listeners wrote in saying that it costs more than that, with prices ranging from $29 to $31. Some even sent pictures of their receipts to prove it. But those listeners were buying their duck stamp through state agencies, which tend to charge administrative fees. That extra $4 to $6 is not part of the price of a duck stamp. If you want to pay the flat $25 price, then go get your duck stamp in person at the post office or buy the digital duck stamp through duckstamp.com. You can even see on this year's duck stamp, in the last few years, they just put $25 right on there. That's a, that's a $25 item. Maxwell, have you bought your duck stamp yet?

• 8:03Speaker 07

  I have not, but that's a great reminder.

• 8:06Speaker 05

  You, you like to go into the physical location and buy yours?

• 8:08Speaker 07

  Yeah, I like to get physical ones, and, um, I always just grab a couple extra, because there's always that one buddy that, uh, will text you the night before you go hunting, "Hey, I don't have a duck stamp."

• 8:18Speaker 05

  Good for you.

• 8:18Speaker 07

  Uh, and like, yeah, you can just have him sign it, have him Venmo you $25, or he can just always buy it online, but...

• 8:25Speaker 05

  There you go.

• 8:26Speaker 07

  Yeah, I typically buy one for me, my wife, and my dog every year.

• 8:29Speaker 05

  There you go. And now, uh, Rocky at home.

• 8:32Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:33Speaker 05

  98% of these. To conservation.

• 8:36Speaker 07

  I'm buying for Rocky.

• 8:37Speaker 05

  All right, today's episode is brought to you by Can-Am, and thanks to them, you are getting some extra trivia this week between questions five and six, next to our friends at Can-Am. All right, the Shelby Index for today is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert.

• 8:50Speaker 07

  Whoa.

• 8:51Speaker 05

  And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 8:58Speaker 02

  I stand to win everything. How's that? You stand to win everything.

• 9:10Speaker 06

  Game on, suckers.

• 9:12Speaker 05

  Question one, the topic is hunting. Which of these states has the most elk? Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon?

• 9:26Speaker 05

  Which of these states has the most elk? Your four choices, Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, or Oregon? Here's something else relevant for today's episode. The Phil and Phil Index is a nine, he told me.

• 9:43Speaker 07

  Geez.

• 9:44Speaker 04

  Whoa.

• 9:44Speaker 05

  The best game Phil would say he's ever done in, what, 250 episodes now?

• 9:49Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 9:49Speaker 05

  So this is maybe either the easiest episode or the filiest episode. We'll find out.

• 9:57Speaker 05

  Of these states, which has the most elk? Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon?

• 10:05Speaker 05

  No quick answers in the room.

• 10:07Speaker 07

  This one seems like a little tricky. Like I'm surprised this is included in this, like, gimme perfect score.

• 10:12Speaker 04

  Mark, this was the one I got incorrect.

• 10:14Speaker 07

  Oh.

• 10:15Speaker 04

  Oh. All right.

• 10:18Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 10:20Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says New Mexico, Mark, Oregon, Logan, Oregon, John, Oregon, Brianna, Oregon, Maxwell, Oregon. The correct answer is Oregon. Everybody but Yanni.

• 10:41Speaker 07

  Everybody but the elk on her.

• 10:44Speaker 05

  There are as many elk in Oregon as the other states combined.

• 10:48Speaker 04

  No.

• 10:48Speaker 05

  Oregon has 133,000 elk, New Mexico has 80,000, Nevada has 18,000, and Kentucky has 13,000. Oregon has the third most elk in the United States.

• 11:01Speaker 06

  I was just thinking about all those mountains and we were just talking about them.

• 11:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, get him, Brianna.

• 11:08Speaker 07

  Phil, what'd you say?

• 11:08Speaker 04

  I was only off by 50,000.

• 11:11Speaker 07

  Yeah, I just feel like a lot of, like, residents of Oregon get tags pretty regularly. Seems like those other states you have to apply.

• 11:17Speaker 05

  Lot of elk habitat there. Question two, the topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Adam Smith for sending this great question. Adam is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. Historians say that the construction of this Italian stadium contributed to the extinction of several animal species across Europe and Africa.

• 11:49Speaker 05

  Max and Mark already have their answers. Historians say that the construction of this Italian stadium contributed to the extinction of several animal species across Europe and Africa.

• 12:02Speaker 07

  See, I feel like now that Mark lives here, there's gonna be some, I don't know how many rounds of trivia one, Mark, but I feel like we've got a new, like, heavy hitter. Competitor, yeah.

• 12:11Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 12:12Speaker 04

  We could use a shake.

• 12:13Speaker 07

  Don't put that kind of pressure on me.

• 12:15Speaker 05

  I'd slide Mark in there, right at the Yanni level of competitiveness in trivia. So that's, uh, it's fun that we've added that kind of player to the mix.

• 12:23Speaker 07

  This is the first time that I've ever been able to defend my title. I've never been in a back-to-back trivia games before, so.

• 12:30Speaker 05

  Again, we're on question two. Historians say that the construction of this Italian stadium contributed to the extinction of several animal species across Europe and Africa. Is everybody ready?

• 12:40Speaker 07

  See how my spelling works, but.

• 12:42Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying the Pantheon. Mark and Logan and John and Brianna and Maxwell say the Colosseum. They got it.

• 12:54Speaker 04

  The Colosseum came into my brain, right?

• 12:57Speaker 05

  Is the Colosseum.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 12:59Speaker 05

  For spelling, it's C.O.L.O.S.S.E.U.M.

• 13:04Speaker 07

  Nope.

• 13:05Speaker 05

  Colosseum.

• 13:05Speaker 04

  Is the Pantheon also a great big giant stadium?

• 13:09Speaker 05

  Probably, but I don't think it's.

• 13:11Speaker 04

  I think it's smaller and it's in a different country.

• 13:13Speaker 05

  Hmm. The Colosseum was built about 2,000 years ago. Large animals played a significant role in Colosseum entertainment with the stadium hosting staged hunts, animal versus animal combat, and human versus animal combat. Romans shipped in exotic wildlife from across the world, including leopards, rhinos, hippos, tigers, bears, wolves, elephants, and more. It's estimated that 9,000 animals died in the arena within the first 100 days. Some now extinct species that performed in the Colosseum include the North African elephant, Caspian tiger, Barbary lion, and Atlas bear. There is the last photo ever taken of a Barbary lion in the wild. I was taken in the Atlas Mountains in 1925.

• 13:58Speaker 05

  There's a few left today in captivity, but in the wild, they are extinct. And those lions, uh, played a lot of games in the Colosseum. For some very entertained Romans.

• 14:10Speaker 07

  Wow.

• 14:11Speaker 04

  I looked it up, the Pantheon is in Italy, but it's a temple, not a.

• 14:15Speaker 05

  Question three, the topic is fishing. Fly Fisherman Magazine says that fishing from a SUP, which stands for blank, blank, blank, is, quote, "about as pure a form of fly fishing from a floating craft as you can get."

• 14:35Speaker 07

  This has been so far the easiest round of trivia I've ever played.

• 14:40Speaker 06

  I am in luck, I was nervous.

• 14:43Speaker 05

  Fly Fisherman Magazine says that fishing from a SUP, which stands for blank, blank, blank, is about as pure a form of fly fishing from a floating craft as you can get.

• 14:56Speaker 07

  I feel like knowing that this is a, a 10 hypothetical score puts so much pressure on every single question. Like, if you get one wrong, you might be out. Well, imagine getting two wrong right off the bat.

• 15:09Speaker 05

  Who could that?

• 15:10Speaker 07

  Sorry, buddy.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  Max, what do you have written on the back of your shirt there?

• 15:14Speaker 07

  Oh, it's, uh, a custom T-shirt.

• 15:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, you want, you want to show the camera?

• 15:18Speaker 07

  Uh, I don't know, yeah, I probably should.

• 15:23Speaker 05

  Oh, drakes don't quack.

• 15:27Speaker 05

  And a Bush Light sign.

• 15:29Speaker 07

  Yeah, um, yeah, over my month, uh, paternity leave, I had some spare time on my hands and I decided to get a little creative.

• 15:37Speaker 05

  There you go. SUP. Is everybody ready?

• 15:42Speaker 07

  Oh, my answer was showing.

• 15:43Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Stand-up paddleboard, the whole room says stand-up paddleboard, the whole room got it right. It's a stand-up paddleboard. According to 2019 data, about 11 million Americans own a kayak, 9 million own a canoe, and 4 million own a paddleboard. The modern stand-up paddleboard was created in Hawaii in the 1940s. Its popularity has grown so much in the last decade that it's now being considered as a potential Olympic sport for 2032.

• 16:12Speaker 07

  I didn't know that. What are you doing in this sport? Have you ever fished?

• 16:15Speaker 05

  It's race.

• 16:16Speaker 07

  Okay. Not well, but a little bit. Yeah. Did you fall in? Uh, I have fallen in, not while fishing. Okay. But I was on my way to fish and I was standing up, trying to see my son. He was off on a kayak, so I'm looking around, trying to see my son, wasn't paying attention to the, to a wave coming my way from a speedboat going by.

• 16:35Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 16:35Speaker 07

  Yeah, caught me unaware and went right in my, right in the lake.

• 16:40Speaker 05

  SUP, stand-up paddleboard. Question four, the topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Kurt Hostedler. This 12-letter word is defined as, quote, "a person who draws or produces maps."

• 16:59Speaker 05

  12-letter word is defined as "a person who draws or produces maps."

• 17:07Speaker 05

  Brianna was very excited when she heard that question.

• 17:11Speaker 07

  Coming back to stand-up paddleboards, I have also fallen off on one of those, but I caught a fish and it was, it was the coolest experience because I caught a fish and it was like way bigger than I was expecting it to be. And I, yeah, I just fell off, still had the fish on the line, lost this hat, this is the third hat I own of this exact one.

• 17:29Speaker 05

  They're great hats.

• 17:30Speaker 07

  One of them is lost in a lake somewhere, uh, but it was pretty incredible. It like was, it was literally pulling me around. What'd you catch? It was like a big trout, uh, but like its momentum, like literally pulled me on a paddleboard, it was pretty cool. That's great.

• 17:43Speaker 05

  This 12-letter word is defined as "a person who draws or produces maps."

• 17:48Speaker 04

  Sounds real pure, Logan. Was it on a fly?

• 17:51Speaker 07

  No.

• 17:52Speaker 04

  Oh, good.

• 17:53Speaker 07

  No, no, no, it was a spinning rod.

• 17:56Speaker 05

  Max and Logan.

• 17:57Speaker 04

  Max, I think on your spare time you had, you would have gone for some, like, ducks roosts and maybe listened to ducks make duck sounds.

• 18:06Speaker 07

  Do that in my sleep.

• 18:08Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 18:09Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 18:10Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis, cartographer. Mark, cartographer. Logan, cartographer. John without an answer. Brianna, cartographer. Maxwell, mapologist. The correct answer is cartographer.

• 18:27Speaker 07

  Shoot.

• 18:28Speaker 05

  A modern cartographer mostly works with interactive digital maps. The largest employers of cartographers are government agencies, tech companies, engineering firms, defense specialists, and academic institutions. The average salary for a cartographer in the United States is $78,000. Question five, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Joe Furuseth. This term is defined as, quote, "the specific temperature at which a cooking oil stops shimmering and begins to produce visible fumes."

• 19:07Speaker 05

  This term is defined as the specific temperature at which a cooking oil stops shimmering and begins to produce visible fumes.

• 19:19Speaker 05

  Brianna got her cooking question. Do you have this one right, Brianna?

• 19:22Speaker 06

  I think so.

• 19:23Speaker 05

  Okay. Mark, who has a perfect game going, currently has a blank whiteboard.

• 19:28Speaker 07

  I'm not gonna change my answer either.

• 19:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, perfect game's done.

• 19:31Speaker 05

  Logan also has a perfect game going. He has his whiteboard down. Do you have this one, Logan?

• 19:36Speaker 04

  I should, yeah. I talk about it a lot, so.

• 19:42Speaker 05

  Can't wait to hear more. This is a hobby of Logan's.

• 19:46Speaker 05

  This term-

• 19:46Speaker 04

  All about healthy cooking, yeah.

• 19:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's about oils. This term is defined as the specific temperature at which a cooking oil stops shimmering and begins to produce visible fumes.

• 19:59Speaker 05

  Yanni, you got this one?

• 20:00Speaker 04

  I do. I've been cooking with a jar of bear grease that Jimmy Rinella gave me that he won after outshooting all of us.

• 20:09Speaker 05

  He gave it to you?

• 20:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 20:11Speaker 05

  I saw you drive away with it, and I was like, what's going on there?

• 20:13Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. I said, are you gonna use that? And he's like, ah. I'm like, I don't want to see it go to waste. And then his dad was like, give it to him, we got plenty.

• 20:24Speaker 05

  Big win for Yanni.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  How long is bear grease good for? I don't know, I've never had one go bad. Well, I've got a bunch of bear grease that, if anyone wants some.

• 20:32Speaker 05

  Yes, I would like some.

• 20:34Speaker 04

  You're not cooking with it? No, I'm not, not the biggest fan.

• 20:38Speaker 04

  Because of what? I don't know, like, I've seared some steaks in it, and I think, like, when I rendered it down, like, it just had a smell to me. I had Clay Newcomb smell it, and he was like, no, it smells great. But like, for me, there's just, I don't know, I like- What color is it when it's just sitting in the jar? White.

• 20:54Speaker 05

  Logan, I wanna turn it into some, like, tallow prop-

• 20:57Speaker 04

  I'll take all of it.

• 20:57Speaker 05

  No. Yanni doesn't give a one.

• 20:59Speaker 04

  I'll give you some of it, yeah. Seriously, I've just got, it's kinda sitting around, I don't really use it.

• 21:04Speaker 05

  This term is defined as the specific temperature at which a cooking oil stops shimmering and begins to produce visible fumes. Mark, do you give up?

• 21:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 21:12Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says, smoke point. Mark without an answer, Logan, smoke point, John without an answer, Brianna, smoke point, Maxwell, smoke point. The correct answer is smoke point. High heat oils have a smoke point over 400 degrees. These include peanut oil and beef tallow. Medium heat oils have a smoke point between 320 and 400 degrees. These include extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil. Low heat oils have a smoke point below 320 degrees. These include almond oil and flaxseed oil.

• 21:52Speaker 05

  All right, and now it's time for our Can-Am question of the week. Thanks to Can-Am, you get some bonus trivia in this week's episode. This does not count towards your score, just for bragging rights. Here's the question. The topic is haunting. Can-Am was founded in this province, which also has a subspecies of caribou named after it. Is it Manitoba, Nova Scotia, or Quebec?

• 22:19Speaker 05

  Can-Am was founded in this province, which also has a subspecies of caribou named after it. Your three choices, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, or Quebec. Maxwell didn't even need the choices. He just knows.

• 22:36Speaker 07

  But then I thought about it, and I was like, no, that's not it. Changed my answer.

• 22:42Speaker 04

  I'm going with the gut.

• 22:43Speaker 05

  Can-Am bonus question. Yanni owns like, three Can-Ams.

• 22:48Speaker 04

  That's not true.

• 22:49Speaker 05

  But he doesn't know where their HQ is. Is everybody ready?

• 22:52Speaker 07

  You want a hint?

• 22:52Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni, Quebec. Marcus says, what, Nova Scotia? Logan, Nova Scotia. John, Manitoba. Brianna, Manitoba. Maxwell, Quebec. The correct answer is Quebec. That is the Quebec Labrador caribou subspecies. There are only about 9,000 of them left in the world. That was our Can-Am question of the week. Can-Am, unstoppable. Art Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

• 23:21Speaker 07

  Good question.

• 23:22Speaker 04

  We got quite the game going here, Spencer. We've got Yannis and John tied up in last with three points. Mark and Max have four. And in first place with perfect games are Logan Dove and Brianna.

• 23:36Speaker 05

  All right, man, they're impressive. Okay.

• 23:39Speaker 07

  Aye, you should play more often.

• 23:40Speaker 06

  Brianna coming in hot.

• 23:42Speaker 04

  Anybody's game. Anybody's game. I know, yeah, really, you know, weighted the easier questions towards the beginning. Let's see how hard it gets in the second half.

• 23:50Speaker 07

  We'll see.

• 23:52Speaker 03

  911, what's your emergency? Please help us, they're everywhere. We think they're murder hornets.

• 25:22Speaker 05

  Question six, the topic is public lands. Bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas national park.

• 25:33Speaker 04

  It's all downhill from here.

• 25:37Speaker 05

  Bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas national park.

• 25:46Speaker 04

  This is included in this week's MeatEater Weekly Field Brief. If you're not following the MeatEater News Instagram account already, go check that out for your conservation updates.

• 25:56Speaker 05

  You'll do better on MeatEater trivia.

• 25:59Speaker 05

  Max, do you have this one right?

• 26:00Speaker 07

  Uh, I got a good guess.

• 26:02Speaker 05

  Okay, Brianna, do you have this one right?

• 26:04Speaker 06

  I believe so.

• 26:05Speaker 05

  Logan, perfect game going?

• 26:07Speaker 04

  No, I'm gonna have to think of some Texan words.

• 26:11Speaker 05

  Okay, good luck.

• 26:12Speaker 04

  El Dorado. I don't think it's a y'all national, but-

• 26:15Speaker 05

  Y'all national, boy.

• 26:16Speaker 04

  Lone Star.

• 26:21Speaker 05

  John, do you have this one?

• 26:23Speaker 07

  Nothing comes to mind right now, but I know when I see it, it's just, it'll all come back.

• 26:28Speaker 05

  Bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas national park.

• 26:37Speaker 06

  I thought this national park was somewhere else. I thought it was like Utah.

• 26:41Speaker 05

  You may not have it right, then.

• 26:42Speaker 07

  I, oh, yeah, I'll explain later. My guess would make sense, that's what I'm saying.

• 26:48Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says, Big Bend. Mark, Big Bend. Logan, Alamo. John without an answer. Brianna, Big Bend. Maxwell, Rio Grande.

• 27:02Speaker 07

  That answer makes sense.

• 27:03Speaker 05

  The correct answer is Big Bend National Park. Bulldozers began clearing vegetation in the park near the Rio Grande on August 6th. The construction is part of a $1.7 billion project that will build roads, barriers, lights, towers, and surveillance platforms in Big Bend. The National Wildlife Federation said while it supports a secure border, it believes the Big Bend ecosystem is too fragile for this kind of infrastructure. There's a picture of that work going on. Bulldozer cleaned some land there. That construction company is actually from Bozeman here, and its founder donated $1 million to President Trump before it won this bid.

• 27:43Speaker 07

  Really?

• 27:44Speaker 04

  Suspect.

• 27:44Speaker 07

  Interesting.

• 27:45Speaker 05

  Question seven, the topic is fishing. A six-year-old boy tells his tiger-stuffed animal that, quote, "Fishing is the most boring sport in the world," in this 1987 comic strip.

• 28:04Speaker 05

  A six-year-old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Logan, you have this one right.

• 28:17Speaker 04

  I think so, yeah.

• 28:18Speaker 05

  Okay, Mark and Yanni, they look confident, their whiteboards are down. Brianna still has a perfect game going. Do you have this one?

• 28:25Speaker 06

  I think so.

• 28:26Speaker 05

  Okay, seven for seven.

• 28:28Speaker 07

  Man, what a start.

• 28:30Speaker 04

  Does anyone come in here with a perfect game on that first?

• 28:32Speaker 05

  No, no. I don't think, I think first timers are usually performing below average, not Brianna though.

• 28:40Speaker 05

  A six-year-old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Brianna, if you win, you get to choose where the donation goes from Meat Eater, so start thinking about that, and if you get a perfect game, it's a double donation, it's a thousand dollars.

• 28:59Speaker 06

  I was thinking about that, and I was like, there's no way I'm gonna win, I don't need to think about anything.

• 29:04Speaker 07

  Maybe everyone else is gonna throw the game for you.

• 29:06Speaker 06

  Oh, that'd be kind, but unnecessary.

• 29:09Speaker 07

  I'm doing it on purpose.

• 29:11Speaker 05

  A six-year-old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni, Kelvin and Hobbs, Mark, Kelvin and Hobbs, Logan, Kelvin and Hobbs, John, Charlie Brown, Brianna, Kelvin and Hobbs, Maxwell, without an answer, the correct answer is Kelvin and Hobbs.

• 29:34Speaker 07

  I don't even think I've ever heard of that.

• 29:36Speaker 05

  Slate magazine called Kelvin and Hobbs, quote, "The last great newspaper comic." It was printed in over 2,000 newspapers in 50 countries during its run from 1985 to 1995. Kelvin generally found fishing to be miserable. In one comic strip, Kelvin gets bit by a fish right before Hobbs shows up and asks if the fish are biting. In another, his dad tells him he's wasting the day away by not going smallmouth fishing at 6:00 a.m. And in another, Kelvin complains that fishing is boring because nothing exciting ever happens, so Hobbs throws him in the lake.

• 30:11Speaker 05

  Question eight, the topic is gear. This next great question is via Brian Tanner. Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as, quote, "Forever Chemicals," is banned in New York and California.

• 30:29Speaker 05

  Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as "Forever Chemicals," is banned in New York and California.

• 30:39Speaker 07

  I'm worried about that sound, Brianna. That was a very sketchy, hmm.

• 30:43Speaker 06

  I know it, I have a concept of the acronym, but I think that I'm gonna get it wrong.

• 30:49Speaker 05

  She is the only player with a blank whiteboard.

• 30:52Speaker 04

  It consists of all capital letters.

• 30:56Speaker 07

  As most acronyms do.

• 30:58Speaker 05

  This is question eight, we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

• 31:02Speaker 04

  Yes. Your rainwear will never be as waterproof as it once was if you grew up.

• 31:08Speaker 07

  That's what we keep hearing.

• 31:09Speaker 04

  In our lifetimes.

• 31:13Speaker 05

  Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as "Forever Chemicals," is banned in New York and California.

• 31:22Speaker 07

  It's probably for the best, though, Yannis.

• 31:25Speaker 04

  Oh, it is, and it'll hopefully drive some innovation to make other, you know, as waterproof materials.

• 31:33Speaker 05

  The rainwear you're referring to has been, that deadline's been pushed out the furthest among the outdoor apparel, when they're saying you can't use this anymore, but they gave people making this product, you know, rainwear, the longest lead time to fall in line.

• 31:49Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 31:51Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni and Mark and Logan and John say PFAS. Brianna says Gore-Tex. Maxwell, PFAS, the correct answer is PFAS, P-F-A-S.

• 32:05Speaker 07

  Seth would have loved that answer.

• 32:06Speaker 06

  I was gonna put an M in there for some reason, I knew that was wrong.

• 32:10Speaker 05

  PFAS stands for per and polyfluoralekal substances. Both states created laws to ban PFAS in apparel in 2022, with those regulations rolling out through 2028. The crackdown on Forever Chemicals is because, as the name implies, they don't break down in nature or the human body. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 32:35Speaker 04

  Everyone except for John is still contending. Got Max with five points, Yannis has six. Now tied up with seven points apiece, or three players, since Brianna slipped up on that last question, but we've got Mark, Logan, and Brianna with seven points.

• 32:50Speaker 05

  Very exciting.

• 32:51Speaker 07

  High drama.

• 32:52Speaker 05

  Is question nine, the topic is wildlife. Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as, quote, "An excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors."

• 33:10Speaker 04

  You got this one right, huh, Phil? I did, yeah.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as, quote, "An excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors."

• 33:27Speaker 05

  Logan, Mark, and Brianna can't slip up, or they're gonna lose to Phil in this episode. Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as "An excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors."

• 33:45Speaker 05

  We've got two questions left. Mark, you have this one right?

• 33:51Speaker 07

  I think so.

• 33:52Speaker 05

  Okay, you found a nine-letter word?

• 33:53Speaker 07

  Came to me.

• 33:55Speaker 05

  He's the only player with his whiteboard down right now. Oh, Max, okay, you like your answer?

• 34:01Speaker 07

  Yeah, I made it up, but it's nine letters.

• 34:05Speaker 05

  Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as "An excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors."

• 34:16Speaker 05

  Urban Dictionary, I think, is a lot of crowdsourcing, Max, so you could just go and create this before the episode comes out, and then give yourself the point.

• 34:25Speaker 07

  Yeah, uh, give me one second.

• 34:28Speaker 05

  Hey, you've got, you've got the amount of time to do it before I reveal the answers.

• 34:34Speaker 07

  I'm gonna tell you to check your facts again.

• 34:36Speaker 05

  The room is struggling on this one, only Mark has any confidence. Brianna, do you have this one right?

• 34:43Speaker 06

  No, I think there's some scientific word for bears that I can't think about right now.

• 34:48Speaker 05

  Okay. Nine-letter word, "An excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors."

• 34:57Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready?

• 34:59Speaker 04

  No. Give us, give us 60 seconds.

• 35:01Speaker 07

  60 seconds, wow.

• 35:06Speaker 05

  Yanni needs Brianna, Logan, and Mark to slip up to stay in the game here, because we're on question nine.

• 35:18Speaker 05

  Logan, do you have this one?

• 35:20Speaker 04

  No, I don't think so.

• 35:21Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 35:22Speaker 04

  Got some ideas, but...

• 35:24Speaker 07

  Do you usually grant this long of an extension in time?

• 35:28Speaker 04

  When Yannis is playing, yeah.

• 35:30Speaker 07

  You did ask nicely.

• 35:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I think it's coming to an end here. Almost never in that extension does he come up with the answer.

• 35:38Speaker 07

  That's not true!

• 35:39Speaker 05

  Fool's go.

• 35:40Speaker 04

  I think there was an episode recently where, where, right at the end, it came to me.

• 35:44Speaker 05

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says bear fears.

• 35:49Speaker 04

  Ah, paranoia.

• 35:50Speaker 05

  Mark, paranoia.

• 35:53Speaker 05

  Logan, grizzophile. John, without an answer. Brianna says bear phobia. Maxwell, fur phobia. The correct answer is paranoia or paranoid.

• 36:08Speaker 05

  It's believed that the word paranoia sprang up in Alaska in the early 1990s. An article from the Los Angeles Times used the term in July of 1992. Then in September of that same year, paranoia showed up again in a Washington Post story. Both articles were quoting reps from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game when using the word. All right, here's a correct answer review. Number one was Oregon, two, the Coliseum, three, stand-up paddleboard, four, cartographer, five, smoke point, six, Big Bend National Park, seven, Kelvin and Hobbs, eight, PFAS, nine, paranoia. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 36:50Speaker 04

  Mark Kenney has pulled ahead, he has eight points. Logan and Brianna are one point behind him with seven.

• 36:57Speaker 05

  Question 10, the topic is outdoors. Name the two countries whose border crosses the peak of Mount Everest.

• 37:08Speaker 05

  Mark gets this one right, he will have wrapped up the victory. Defending his title going into question 10. Going against Logan, who has never won, is that correct? Going against Brianna, who has never played. Name the two countries whose border crosses the peak of Mount Everest. Yanni, you got this one right.

• 37:30Speaker 07

  I believe so, but I feel like it's a stretch for our four verticals, Spencer.

• 37:35Speaker 05

  I don't know, tallest mountain in the world. What countries are there? I think it flies. I had a question about Kelvin and Hobbs a little bit ago, Yanni.

• 37:45Speaker 04

  About them fishing?

• 37:46Speaker 05

  Mm hmm. Lot of fishing showed up in those three comic, 3,000 comic strips.

• 37:52Speaker 07

  Oh, I loved it. I even had like the books.

• 37:54Speaker 04

  Oh, big anthologies.

• 37:56Speaker 07

  Yeah, those are sweet. I've seen some of those like hardcover books and they've got some really cool comments, comics in there.

• 38:01Speaker 05

  I missed the Sunday comics in the newspaper I got when I was a kid.

• 38:06Speaker 05

  Name the two countries whose border crosses the peak of Mount Everest. Mark, do you have this one right?

• 38:12Speaker 07

  Man, there's three countries, three, three possible answers. And I just am unsure of which of the two of the three flip in there.

• 38:19Speaker 05

  Logan, do you have this one?

• 38:21Speaker 07

  I don't think so. I'd have to think about it for a long time.

• 38:23Speaker 05

  Brianna, do you have this one?

• 38:25Speaker 06

  I don't think so, unless it comes to me in the next 10 seconds.

• 38:32Speaker 05

  You sniffing that, Mike?

• 38:33Speaker 04

  Mm hmm.

• 38:37Speaker 05

  Waiting on Brianna to come up with an answer so she can tie Mark Kenyon and go to overtime.

• 38:44Speaker 05

  Name the two countries whose border crosses the peak of Mount Everest.

• 38:50Speaker 07

  Just got one.

• 38:54Speaker 05

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Nepal and Tibet. Mark, Nepal and Tibet. Logan, without an answer. John, without an answer. Brianna, China and India. Max says Nepal and blank. The two countries are Nepal and China or Tibet.

• 39:19Speaker 07

  Oh, those are my.

• 39:22Speaker 05

  The summit of Mount Everest is shared by both nations with China to the north and Nepal to the south. The two countries disagreed on Mount Everest's height until recently. China measured to the bottom of the snow cap while Nepal measured to the top of it. This resulted in a 15 foot discrepancy. But in 2020, they made a joint decision that the mountain should be measured to the peak of the snow cap, giving it an agreed upon height of 29,031 feet. And there it is in the world, if you're trying to figure out where Mount Everest is.

• 39:56Speaker 05

• 40:04Speaker 07

  We're going to Trout Unlimited.

• 40:06Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 40:07Speaker 07

  Yep.

  Big summer for them across the West, as you'll hear about on Meat Eater News this week.

• 40:11Speaker 07

  Yes, we, with the trout need a little help right now, so we'll send a few dollars their way.

• 40:15Speaker 05

  Okay, well done, Mark. Well done, Brianna. The, the best performance we've ever seen from a first time player.

  Someone once said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. I did, Mike Tyson. Oh, well, Mike Tyson and Boost are here to tell you that your mobile plan is punching you in the mouth with prices that can knock you out. That's a low blow. Totally, but you can do something about it. You have to punch back. No, Mike, you gotta switch to Boost, where the plan has $25 a month forever. Oh, that's a great plan. Maybe you can do both. Boost Mobile, what's your plan?

• 42:10Speaker 00

  Okay, laundry stinks, literally. I mean, you could just keep buying new underwear, not that I've ever done that. Or maybe sort your clothes into piles based on how re-wearable or filthy they are. Or just use Arm & Hammer Deep Clean. It's made for real life stinks and stains. So even if you don't do laundry the quote right way, Deep Clean will knock it out. I mean, it is from the number one liquid detergent brand that tackles more loads than any other. Come clean with Arm & Hammer Deep Clean. Number one claim based on total wash loads sold.
