  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 winners choosing. I'm your host, Spencer New Arthur. And today, we're joined by Yannis, Randall, Brody, Corey, Marge, Seth, and Dane Williams. 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, Busch Light. Busch Light, head to the mountains. Dane, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

• 2:20Speaker 05

  I'm on the social media team as a social media and community coordinator. So I work with Alex and Nick.

• 2:29Speaker 04

  Okay, so anytime someone is talking smack about Yanni, you have to read that?

• 2:34Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 2:34Speaker 04

  And then send it to Yanni?

• 2:35Speaker 05

  I send everyone to him.

• 2:37Speaker 04

  Yeah. Dane, what are your strengths and weaknesses here at Meat Eater Trivia between hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking?

• 2:44Speaker 05

  Hunting and conservation, definitely strengths. Cooking and fishing are gonna be my weaknesses, for sure.

• 2:53Speaker 04

  Dane, a big predator hunter, he owns a dog that I think is the first dog of that breed in the office. What is it? What is that thing you have?

• 2:59Speaker 05

  I have a Catahoula leopard dog.

• 3:01Speaker 04

  I don't think we've had one of those.

• 3:02Speaker 05

  And I have a mutt.

• 3:03Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 3:04Speaker 05

  They're both coyote decoy dogs.

• 3:06Speaker 04

  Two good, well-behaved dogs. Welcome to the show, Dane.

• 3:08Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 3:09Speaker 04

  All right, we're starting today's show with a mailbag question. If you have a question you want the trivia crew to answer, then send your question with the subject line mailbag to [email protected]. This is from Django Holt. He says, I recently inherited a lever-action .30 .30 from a family friend that passed away. I haven't shot it yet, but it's a beautiful gun. However, I'm not totally sure what to use it for. I deer and elk hunt in Oregon, and most of the shooting I do is much longer than the accurate range of a .30 .30. Any suggestions on practical uses for this gun? Would love to hear the crew's thoughts. Seth didn't even accept this invite to trivia until I sent out this mailbag question, and then he accepted the invite because Seth is so passionate about this subject. Seth,

• 3:55Speaker 04

  what should Django do with that .30 .30 he inherited?

• 3:58Speaker 06

  Well, he should do a lot of timber sneaking with that thing.

• 4:01Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 4:02Speaker 06

  Yeah. Get in the timber, get real close to them, be quiet, still hunt, and then shoot stuff real close.

• 4:12Speaker 04

  Okay. Brody, another .30 .30 owner. Any advice for Django?

• 4:15Speaker 07

  Um, use it to break out of that long-range shooting mode and practice sneaking in on stuff. Like dudes kill them with bows. There's no reason you can't sneak into 100 yards and shoot one with a .30 .30.

• 4:26Speaker 04

  Okay. Randall, if tomorrow you inherited Brody's .30 .30, what would you do with it?

• 4:32Speaker 06

  Put a big old scope on it.

• 4:33Speaker 05

  Well, I actually don't, yeah, bipod scope, add some rails. I actually, I don't think I've owned a .30 .30.

• 4:43Speaker 04

  Wow, okay.

• 4:44Speaker 05

  I did for a while. My absolute favorite rifle was a .4570 lever-action. I sold that because I just was like, I don't frequently shoot things under 100 yards. And then I was going out lion hunting, and I thought, my God, I don't have anything to shoot like a cat

• 5:04Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 5:04Speaker 05

  out of a tree with. So I drove all over Missoula looking for used deals on lever actions because it seemed like the perfect tool for that job.

• 5:13Speaker 04

  What'd you find?

• 5:15Speaker 05

  Well, I wasn't flush with cash at the time, and I couldn't find a good deal. So I ended up shooting that cat with a 20-gauge slug gun. But had I had a .30 .30 lever-action, like you never know.

• 5:25Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 5:25Speaker 05

  That's the larger point of the story is you never know when you might have an opportunity where it's just

• 5:31Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 5:31Speaker 05

  the perfect, perfect tool for the job. So it's also a classic rifle. I mean.

• 5:39Speaker 04

  Missoula doesn't seem like .30 .30 country. That's now where you walk into a sporting store and find a good selection of .30 .30s.

• 5:46Speaker 05

  I don't know. I feel like everybody's dad or grandpa has had a .30 .30 lever-action at some point, right? And a lot of those guns make the circuit. But yeah, now that I think about it, on the forums, I haven't seen a lot of them moving. Strange times.

• 6:04Speaker 04

  Any other advice for Django?

• 6:07Speaker 05

  No, I love his name.

• 6:08Speaker 04

  Cool name. Good name.

• 6:10Speaker 05

  And if you just think he wants a practical use for it.

• 6:13Speaker 04

  Practical use.

• 6:13Speaker 05

  So unless he's counting blasting, because it's also just a fun gun to shoot.

• 6:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:18Speaker 05

  Set up some Coke cans and.

• 6:21Speaker 06

  Pick up your trash?

• 6:22Speaker 05

  Pick up your trash. Pick up your trash, of course.

• 6:24Speaker 04

  What would be real practical is if you can't find a use for it, go sell it, Django. Like, if I died and I gave my gun to Seth and Seth turned around and sold it, I wouldn't be the least bit offended, because I'd be dead. So Django, if you need to sell that gun to get a gun that you will use, that's my advice.

• 6:40Speaker 05

  Fair point. Randall sells guns all the time.

• 6:42Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 6:43Speaker 05

  Too much.

• 6:44Speaker 04

  That's why so many ghosts haunt him.

• 6:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:46Speaker 04

  All right, know-how's keeping today. The Shelby index for this episode is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 6:58Speaker 02

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything.

• 7:04Speaker 02

  How's that? You stand to win everything.

• 7:13Speaker 04

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is fishing. This first great question is via Charlie McDonald. According to NOAA, this was the most caught saltwater fish by recreational anglers in 2022. To be clear, this is American recreational anglers. Your four choices, flounder, bonefish, spotted sea trout, or redfish?

• 7:40Speaker 04

  This was the most caught saltwater fish by American recreational anglers in 2022. Flounder, bonefish, spotted sea trout, redfish. Brody, the quickest to answer. Brody, if I didn't give you choices, would you come up with the same answer as what you wrote down?

• 8:00Speaker 07

  Probably not.

• 8:01Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 8:01Speaker 07

  And I mean, I'm just getting there. Getting there through what seems a logical route.

• 8:09Speaker 04

  This was the most caught saltwater fish by anglers in 2022. Flounder, bonefish, spotted sea trout, redfish.

• 8:19Speaker 05

  Is 2022 the most recent year for which there's available data?

• 8:22Speaker 04

  That was there.

• 8:22Speaker 05

  Or is there something specific about that?

• 8:24Speaker 04

  No, that was the data that I could find, because it seems as though they roll out this kind of information, like every four years, like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does.

• 8:33Speaker 06

  What I would love to know is the amount of seafood that goes through the Ketchikan Airport is just unbelievable.

• 8:42Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 8:42Speaker 04

  They're ready for you when you show up with a cooler full of fish, huh?

• 8:45Speaker 07

  They're pros.

• 8:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, just the amount of fish boxes is insane.

• 8:51Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? Marge, you're doing some erasing. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying sea trout. Dane says redfish. Yanni, sea trout. Randall, flounder. Corey, sea trout. Marge, sea trout. Brody, sea trout. The correct answer is spotted sea trout. Gosh, the room did well. It's estimated that there were 55 million spotted sea trout caught by American anglers in 2022. In terms of weight, striped bass are at the top of the list with 36 million pounds of strippers caught that year, and scup were the most

• 9:35Speaker 04

  harvested fish, with anglers taking home 18 million of those. Question to the top is conservation. What country has the most acres of taiga? That is T-A-I-G-A. What country has the most acres of taiga?

• 9:58Speaker 04

  Randall back on track. You have this one right?

• 10:01Speaker 06

  I hope so, but I've lost all confidence.

• 10:03Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 10:03Speaker 05

  Oh, just after one?

• 10:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:08Speaker 04

  Did my flavor text there scup, S C U P. Am I saying that right? Scup? Scup? I think it's also a porgy. Am I saying that right?

• 10:17Speaker 05

  I think that's right.

• 10:18Speaker 06

  Porgy's right.

• 10:18Speaker 04

  Okay. What country has the most acres of taiga?

• 10:25Speaker 04

  Corey, you have this one right?

• 10:26Speaker 05

  What is a taiga?

• 10:28Speaker 04

  Don't think so. T A I G A.

• 10:32Speaker 06

  Did you see my answer?

• 10:33Speaker 05

  Well, I dressed up in a taiga for Halloween one time.

• 10:36Speaker 04

  Tony the taiga.

• 10:38Speaker 05

  Yannis, I know you're not wearing your headphones and you can't tell, but you gotta get close to that microphone. I thought I was yelling and projecting enough, but I guess that's not the case.

• 10:46Speaker 04

  No headphones and no sleeves. Get you a bugle tube. When, when does this sleeveless bit come to an end, Yanni?

• 10:52Speaker 05

  When it gets too cold.

• 10:54Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 10:54Speaker 05

  When he's six feet under.

• 10:57Speaker 07

  Oh, man. I mean, even when it's cold, you can, you can be hiking up the mountain and sleeveless.

• 11:02Speaker 05

  That's true. I mean, they make vests. First Lite makes vests.

• 11:06Speaker 06

  Does this air in your life make you want to get more tats on your arms?

• 11:10Speaker 05

  No.

• 11:11Speaker 06

  Or more jacked?

• 11:12Speaker 05

  Nope. Nope. Nope.

• 11:15Speaker 07

  What are you trying to say, man?

• 11:16Speaker 05

  I got more, I got more comfortable.

• 11:18Speaker 06

  Pipes, man. Pipons.

• 11:20Speaker 05

  Oh, good. Yeah.

• 11:21Speaker 06

  Be doing curls.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  I support it.

• 11:23Speaker 04

  Again, we're on question two.

• 11:24Speaker 05

  Yeah. Did you cut off a couple?

• 11:26Speaker 04

  Has the most acres of taiga?

• 11:27Speaker 06

  I haven't yet, but I'll do it. I'm running out of summer.

• 11:32Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 11:33Speaker 06

  Aren't we all? Aren't we all?

• 11:35Speaker 05

  Did I write something down?

• 11:36Speaker 04

  Marge? Yeah, I wrote something down. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Russia, Dane without an answer, Yanni, Russia, Randall, Russia, Corey, Russia, Marge, what's that say, Marge? Mongolia. Mongolia. Brody, Russia. The correct answer is Russia. Taiga, which is also known as boreal forest, is a subarctic landscape that's covered in evergreen trees. It is the largest terrestrial biome in the world, covering about 60% of Russia and 17% of the Earth's surface. The country with the second most taiga is, any guesses?

• 12:16Speaker 06

  Canada.

• 12:16Speaker 04

  Canada. That's right. Good job, Room. We're on to question three. The topic is hunting. Montana Knife Company defines this seven-letter butchering method as, quote, "Where you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity."

• 12:35Speaker 04

  MKC defines this seven-letter butchering method.

• 12:39Speaker 07

  MKC, longer than MKC did.

• 12:42Speaker 04

  This is where I could find a clean definition of this. MKC defines a seven-letter butchering method is where you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity.

• 12:54Speaker 05

  I still have a two-part video on, those are the only two videos on my own, on my own YouTube channel. Yes.

• 13:02Speaker 04

  When I was writing the flavor text for this, I came across that.

• 13:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:05Speaker 04

  Uh, the publisher was Yannis Cutilis.

• 13:07Speaker 05

  Garrett and Barge are very excited about growing that YouTube channel with some content that might not be quite, you know, enough for the regular Meat Eater channel.

• 13:18Speaker 04

  Part three.

• 13:18Speaker 06

  But you still own the channel.

• 13:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, I do. I do.

• 13:22Speaker 06

  You're not gonna sell out, are you?

• 13:23Speaker 04

  It's gonna be a tough negotiation.

• 13:24Speaker 05

  But we'll see.

• 13:25Speaker 04

  Video three, how to cut your sleeves.

• 13:30Speaker 04

  MKC defines this seven-letter butchering method as where you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Dane and Yanni and Randall and Corey and Brody saying gutless, Marge without an answer. The correct answer is gutless.

• 13:54Speaker 05

  No.

• 13:55Speaker 04

  As the name implies, you leave the internal organs inside the carcass when doing the gutless method of butchering. This is popular among hunters who need to pack out the meat on their back. For more on this process, go read our article on the meat eater dot com called Field Butchering Tips, Part One, The Gutless Method, or watch Yanni's video on YouTube.

• 14:15Speaker 06

  And smash that like and subscribe.

• 14:17Speaker 05

  That's right, man. What are we talking about, buddy?

• 14:21Speaker 04

  Question four, the topic is ecology. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jesse Bartlett for sending this great question. Jesse 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 trivia at the meat eater dot com. The Pine Barrens, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located in this state.

• 14:52Speaker 04

  Looking for the state name. The Pine Barrens, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located in this state.

• 15:04Speaker 05

  I'd like to go to this place one time. I've never been there.

• 15:06Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 15:06Speaker 05

  It's just a devil.

• 15:09Speaker 04

  Supposedly.

• 15:09Speaker 05

  Not a specific devil.

• 15:11Speaker 04

  A devil.

• 15:11Speaker 05

  A devil.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  Not going to, uh, go into any further detail on that.

• 15:16Speaker 05

  You might like it there, Yanni.

• 15:17Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 15:18Speaker 05

  Devils in the details. Um, yeah, I imagine I would.

• 15:23Speaker 04

  Brody, quick to answer. Randall, quick to answer. Yanni, quick to answer. Seth, quick to answer. Those four appear to know it. Dane, do you have this one right?

• 15:31Speaker 05

  Not sure, but I got an answer. Ooh.

• 15:34Speaker 04

  The Pine Barrens, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located in this state.

• 15:41Speaker 07

  Write something down.

• 15:42Speaker 06

  That's pretty wrong.

• 15:43Speaker 04

  I know. Okay, Corey. Randall has seen Corey's answer.

• 15:48Speaker 06

  Pretty dang wrong, man.

• 15:49Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 15:50Speaker 05

  Now I'm questioning if my state has.

• 15:53Speaker 04

  Can you also look at Dane's answer and tell him if his is pretty wrong or just a little wrong?

• 15:58Speaker 05

  I'm, I'm questioning if my state even, even has 1.1 million acres in it. So. You get a clue too. He does.

• 16:06Speaker 04

  Okay, okay.

• 16:07Speaker 05

  I'm wrong.

• 16:07Speaker 04

  Randall, how wrong is Dane's answer?

• 16:09Speaker 06

  He's not, he's not nearly as wrong as Corey was.

• 16:12Speaker 05

  Can I change my answer?

• 16:13Speaker 04

  Not nearly as wrong. Brody, how wrong is Marge's answer?

• 16:18Speaker 06

  Corey, you'd only get wrong if you went to Hawaii.

• 16:20Speaker 04

  Distance or what do we? Yeah, well, however wrong you think Randall was putting it in on his scale.

• 16:25Speaker 06

  Corey was considerably wrong.

• 16:27Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 16:27Speaker 05

  Marge was fairly wrong.

• 16:29Speaker 04

  Fairly wrong. Okay. It's like a southern thing. All right, Corey, Marge, Dane, are you changing your answers?

• 16:35Speaker 06

  If it's a southern thing, you got the wrong thing down too.

• 16:37Speaker 04

  I know, I know. Is it though?

• 16:39Speaker 06

  He says, it seems like a southern thing and he wrote down Maine.

• 16:45Speaker 04

  That was, that was actually a test to Randall, uh, to see if he could get more information.

• 16:50Speaker 06

  That's not, that's not a bad guess though.

• 16:52Speaker 04

  No, it's not.

• 16:53Speaker 06

  It's actually a good guess.

• 16:54Speaker 05

  A lot of mines in Maine.

• 16:55Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, New Jersey, Dane, Kentucky, Yannis, New Jersey, Randall, New Jersey, Corey, Florida, Marge, Missouri, Brody, New Jersey. The correct answer is New Jersey. Isn't that their hockey team?

• 17:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, I knew it was a hockey team. I just didn't know what state.

• 17:19Speaker 05

  I'm, I think I'm the only person in this room that lived in that state.

• 17:22Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. Have you been to the Pine Barrens?

• 17:24Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 17:25Speaker 06

  Is it John McPhee book about the Pine Barrens?

• 17:27Speaker 05

  There's a Sopranos episode about.

• 17:28Speaker 04

  My favorite episode of Sopranos is the Pine Barrens episode. I think it's just called Pine Barrens.

• 17:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:33Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 17:33Speaker 04

  You know what I love so much about that episode, Phil, is how they introduced the big bad, uh, Russian fella? Who never returned. The whole rest of the series, I'm like, okay, he's gonna come back and I'm gonna be the only one who saw it coming. Uh, and then he just never returned. But it's great. It's great storytelling. It was really well done. A lot of fun.

• 17:49Speaker 05

  Seth, what were you doing in New Jersey?

• 17:52Speaker 06

  Um, I lived there for like 10 years. Hunting the timber. When. Hunting the timber.

• 17:57Speaker 05

  Sneaking.

• 17:58Speaker 06

  My, uh, my parents worked for my, uh, uncle who owned a pretty big landscaping.

• 18:03Speaker 05

  Oh, I see. You were there with your family.

• 18:05Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this was when I was real young.

• 18:08Speaker 05

  Got it.

• 18:08Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 18:09Speaker 04

  Uh, the Pine Barrens cover about a quarter of New Jersey. The wilderness is named after the pitch pine that dominates the landscape and its poor soil that makes farming difficult. The Jersey Devil, who supposedly calls the forest home, was born there in 1735. It's said that he was the 13th child of a woman who cursed him, and shortly after birth, he grew wings, a tail and claws, then flew off into the Pine Barrens. He was frequently seen in 1909 with hundreds of encounters reported to local newspapers. Later that year, the Philadelphia Zoo put out a $10,000 reward for the capture of the Jersey Devil. I think this was on a Joe Sermelli back in the day, B-side. I think I animated this now.

• 18:53Speaker 04

  We're looking at a sketch from the 1900s of the Jersey Devil. It's like a kangaroo slash horse.

• 19:01Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:01Speaker 04

  Body, um, that's bipedal and then it's got big old devilish wings.

• 19:05Speaker 06

  Sort of like crane legs.

• 19:07Speaker 04

  Hmm. What were those animals that Luke Skywalker wrote?

• 19:10Speaker 06

  Taun taun.

• 19:10Speaker 04

  Taun taun.

• 19:11Speaker 06

  Yeah, the profile from the neck up is very similar to a taun taun. Without the horn though.

• 19:16Speaker 05

  I thought they smelled bad on the outside.

• 19:17Speaker 04

  Good observations. Now you know everything about the Pine Barrens.

• 19:20Speaker 05

  And the tail is, yeah, very strange.

• 19:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's got like a turkey foot at the end of his tail. Question five, the topic is cooking. The Glanton Gang eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Blood Meridian.

• 19:39Speaker 04

  The Glanton Gang eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Blood Meridian.

• 19:48Speaker 04

  The publishing boys, Brody and Randall, real quick to answer.

• 19:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, more of that book shit.

• 19:53Speaker 04

  The rest of the room has blank words.

• 19:56Speaker 07

  You gotta be a publishing guy to know this one.

• 19:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, this, but this one, um, it's not really, I think you put it under cooking.

• 20:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's cooking. They eat pronghorn bone marrow. Uh, they.

• 20:06Speaker 05

  Which is like, but really, the.

• 20:09Speaker 07

  Trivia is like, do you know who wrote Blood Meridian?

• 20:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, welcome to Media Trivia.

• 20:16Speaker 04

  Do you know?

• 20:17Speaker 07

  Bone marrow and a pronghorn. Yes, but it's like, just doesn't wanna just hit my.

• 20:22Speaker 05

  Arguably, one of the finest novels in American literature.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  Okay, there's a hint, and I agree with you. The Glanton Gang eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Blood Meridian.

• 20:34Speaker 05

  You'd also know this if you'd listened to the most recent episode of the American West, where we discuss our favorite.

• 20:39Speaker 04

  Oh, I didn't know that. Okay, good plug. And this was a choice by you?

• 20:45Speaker 05

  Uh, I think Dan chose this.

• 20:50Speaker 04

  Brody and Randall, still the only players with an answer.

• 20:53Speaker 07

  Nah, really? Uh huh. God, I know it.

• 20:59Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 21:00Speaker 07

  It is.

• 21:03Speaker 05

  Pretty sure this book's sitting on my bookshelf.

• 21:05Speaker 04

  Uh oh.

• 21:05Speaker 07

  Oh gee.

• 21:07Speaker 04

  Yanni is threatening his whiteboard right now.

• 21:13Speaker 04

  Yanni joining Randall and Brody with an answer, is it correct?

• 21:16Speaker 07

  I can see what his last letter was.

• 21:18Speaker 04

  Okay, I was trying to watch, and I thought he had the first name right. Did I get the first two letters right there, bud?

• 21:28Speaker 05

  More than the first two.

• 21:30Speaker 04

  The Glanton Gang.

• 21:31Speaker 05

  I thought you had it there.

• 21:32Speaker 04

  Eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Blood Meridian.

• 21:36Speaker 05

  Too many hints in this episode.

• 21:37Speaker 04

  There are a lot of analog.

• 21:39Speaker 07

  Come on, Randall, we're just having fun.

• 21:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 21:43Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 21:43Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 21:44Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Cormac McCarthy. Dane, without an answer. Yanni and Randall say Cormac McCarthy. Corey says McLeod. Marge, without an answer. Brody, Cormac McCarthy. The correct answer is Cormac McCarthy. Ah, that's what I call him.

• 22:04Speaker 04

  Blood Meridian, which came out in nineteen eighty-five, is widely considered McCarthy's magnum opus. The book has often been called unfilmable, with multiple Hollywood teams taking on the project and walking away. Directors have said the biggest challenges are the graphic violence and lack of traditional narrative. But Cormac McCarthy gave John Hillcoat his blessing before passing in twenty twenty-three. And it's said that Hillcoat is working on the script now. The latest update is that they are scouting for film locations and testing practical effects.

• 22:36Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 22:37Speaker 04

  Uh, that would be a wild, wildly challenging movie.

• 22:40Speaker 05

  Who's John Hillcoat?

• 22:42Speaker 04

  I don't know. I was counting on Phil to be like, oh, John Hillcoat, he does really bad things. No, nothing.

• 22:47Speaker 07

  I was trying to make a name out of his first and last name, and my brain just kept saying McCormick. I'm like, it's not McCormick.

• 22:54Speaker 05

  Spice brand.

• 22:56Speaker 04

  All right, 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, it's just for bragging rights. Here's the question. The topic is gear. This seven-letter word is a piece of gear that lets swimmers breathe air and an ATV accessory that allows vehicles to be semi-submersed without taking water to the engine.

• 23:24Speaker 05

  It's like John Hillcoat directed The Road, so he's already.

• 23:27Speaker 04

  No.

• 23:27Speaker 07

  Oh, he's already in the canon.

• 23:28Speaker 04

  Already knows it well. But was that movie very good? Not really, right?

• 23:33Speaker 05

  I saw it in theaters and I haven't seen it since. Um, the book was a lot better.

• 23:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, I feel like The Road didn't have any lasting impact, right?

• 23:40Speaker 05

  That's Viggo? Is that right?

• 23:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:42Speaker 05

  Viggo, yeah.

• 23:44Speaker 04

  This seven-letter word is a piece of gear that lets swimmers breathe air and an ATV accessory that allows vehicles to be semi-submersed without taking water to the engine. Is everybody ready to reveal your Can-Am answers of the week?

• 24:01Speaker 05

  Yanni's ready.

• 24:02Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth and Dane and Yanni and Randall and Corey and Marge say snorkel.

• 24:09Speaker 05

  Do we make this one count?

• 24:10Speaker 04

  Without an answer.

• 24:11Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 24:12Speaker 04

  Uh, the correct answer.

• 24:13Speaker 07

  Instant, I didn't have time.

• 24:14Speaker 04

  Is snorkel. You gotta be quick on that question of the week. That was our Can-Am question of the week. Can-Am, unstoppable. All right, Phil, we're halfway through today's game. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 24:25Speaker 05

  Here at halftime, we've got a widespread here.

• 24:29Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 24:29Speaker 05

  Um, got Dane and Maggie with one point piece. Corey's got three, Randall has four, and we have three perfect games. Geez. Between Seth, Yannis, and Brody. Five points.

• 26:14Speaker 04

  Question six, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Sam Taylor. This is America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  This is America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory.

• 26:37Speaker 04

  Randall already has his answer.

• 26:41Speaker 04

  Now Seth and Corey. Corey, do you have this one right? Man, let's hope so. Seth, is this gonna keep the perfect game going?

• 26:49Speaker 05

  I hope so.

• 26:52Speaker 05

  We'll see. I hope not.

• 26:53Speaker 04

  We might have tripped up Brody with that snorkel question.

• 26:56Speaker 05

  I know.

• 26:56Speaker 04

  Now he's, uh, no, he's back in it.

• 26:58Speaker 07

  Ah.

• 26:58Speaker 04

  Whiteboard is down. This is America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory. This is question six.

• 27:10Speaker 05

  I hate it when I'm in this position and I have to root against everybody.

• 27:16Speaker 07

  You don't have to root against everybody.

• 27:17Speaker 05

  No, I'm compelled to root against, not everybody. You're fine.

• 27:22Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah, Randall still roots for me and Phil.

• 27:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 27:27Speaker 04

  Yanni, do you have this one right?

• 27:29Speaker 07

  No, I do not have an answer yet.

• 27:31Speaker 04

  America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory.

• 27:38Speaker 07

  And America stands for the United States of America.

• 27:41Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 27:43Speaker 05

  It's a close read. I know the first two longest rivers.

• 27:47Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 27:48Speaker 05

  The, the, the third one I don't.

• 27:54Speaker 04

  Yanni, do you give up?

• 27:56Speaker 07

  No, I'm gonna write something down if you force me.

• 27:58Speaker 04

  All right, yeah, we're gonna force you and Dane, you, Dane, and Marge.

• 28:01Speaker 07

  We have lots of time.

• 28:04Speaker 04

  If I start to force you now, though.

• 28:06Speaker 05

  We've got twenty-seven minutes till Corey's appointment.

• 28:08Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:11Speaker 05

  Meeting.

• 28:12Speaker 04

  America's third.

• 28:13Speaker 05

  I didn't wanna make it sound like a medical thing. Nothing's wrong with you.

• 28:16Speaker 04

  I gotta talk about meals.

• 28:17Speaker 05

  Oh, geez.

• 28:18Speaker 04

  I'm gonna start calling all my meetings appointments.

• 28:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  That's good.

• 28:23Speaker 04

  America's third longest river. Dane, Marge, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Yukon. Ah. Dane, Mississippi. Yanni, Quebec. Randall, Yukon. Corey, Columbia. Marge, Ontario. Brody, Yukon. The correct answer is the Yukon River.

• 28:47Speaker 07

  I literally had Yukon.

• 28:48Speaker 05

  It's a hell of a vehicle, too.

• 28:49Speaker 07

  I raised it.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  The Yukon River is just shy of two thousand miles long, making it about three hundred miles shorter than the Mississippi and one hundred miles longer than the Rio Grande. It is home to the world's longest salmon migration. The Yukon River Kings will spend three months traveling thirty miles a day into their spawning grounds every summer.

• 29:13Speaker 04

  Question seven, the topic is gear. This next great question is via A.J. Coolish. This brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware, has a winged bear for its logo.

• 29:28Speaker 04

  This brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware, has a winged bear for its logo. Marge, you got this one right?

• 29:37Speaker 07

  I think so.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Okay, Corey, you got this one right. God, I hope so.

• 29:41Speaker 07

  I think so. I'm wrong.

• 29:44Speaker 04

  Marge has her keychain with her today, and it looks as though she killed a janitor before she came into the studio. There is.

• 29:51Speaker 05

  And a carpenter or a contractor, yeah.

• 29:54Speaker 04

  Tape measure on there.

• 29:55Speaker 07

  Yep.

• 29:55Speaker 04

  Uh, how many, like, five keys, um, some keychains.

• 29:59Speaker 05

  The carabiner, I think, is the thing that grabs my eye.

• 30:02Speaker 04

  A carabiner that could, uh, winch a vehicle out of a ditch if it needed to.

• 30:06Speaker 07

  Cause I'm getting into climbing, Spencer.

• 30:09Speaker 04

  This brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware, has a winged bear for its logo.

• 30:16Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 30:16Speaker 04

  This is question seven. We have three perfect games that are currently in danger.

• 30:21Speaker 05

  Oh, no, Yannis lost his perfect game in the last question.

• 30:24Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 30:24Speaker 05

  Bear. Seth and Brody now.

• 30:28Speaker 04

  Oh yeah, Randall got question one wrong, that's right.

• 30:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, I remember.

• 30:33Speaker 04

  Sea trout. Stupid, stupid, stupid. This brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware.

• 30:42Speaker 04

  A winged bear for its logo.

• 30:45Speaker 07

  I got three answers.

• 30:46Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 30:47Speaker 07

  I was even thinking about the northern tier. But I just didn't think far enough west.

• 30:52Speaker 04

  Randall, how many answers do you have?

• 30:55Speaker 05

  I don't know a river named the Yukon River. Wrong. Oh, God, I don't. I wrote it down and erased it. Yeah.

• 31:03Speaker 06

  It's like, it's not northwest.

• 31:05Speaker 04

  Brody, do you have your answer?

• 31:07Speaker 05

  I guess.

• 31:08Speaker 04

  Randall, do you have your answer?

• 31:09Speaker 05

  I suppose so.

• 31:10Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth and Dane and Yanni and Randall and Cory and Marge and Brody say Stanley, they got it. That's a one hundred percenter. The correct answer is Stanley. Stanley was founded by William Stanley in nineteen thirteen when he patented the first all steel vacuum insulated bottle. Their Quencher tumbler has been one of the trendiest products of the twenty twenties. Almost exclusively, thanks to the mug's popularity, Stanley went from making seventy three million dollars per year in twenty nineteen to seven hundred fifty million per year in twenty twenty-three.

• 31:51Speaker 05

  Jeez.

• 31:52Speaker 04

  A ten X increase.

• 31:53Speaker 05

  They're all a bunch of eighth grade girls, I feel like. We gotta do that.

• 31:56Speaker 04

  We should come up with the next drinkware of twenty twenty-seven.

• 32:00Speaker 05

  Soccer moms, too. Yeah. Yeah. Gosh. The old school Stanley thermos is just the best thing ever.

• 32:08Speaker 04

  That thing needs to be with a thirty thirty on a hunt.

• 32:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:11Speaker 04

  Yeah. Create a little timber. Question eight, the topic is natural history. Unbury is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as, quote, to dig up a dead body from the ground.

• 32:26Speaker 04

  Randall had his answer before I finished the question. Unbury is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground.

• 32:36Speaker 05

  Yeah, this one's right in my Q zone.

• 32:39Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 32:40Speaker 06

  That's a right one right there.

• 32:41Speaker 05

  Kind of landed right in my sweet spot.

• 32:44Speaker 04

  A ten X bullseye.

• 32:46Speaker 05

  No, no, not the writing aspect of it.

• 32:48Speaker 06

  Oh, the necrophilia? Yeah.

• 32:50Speaker 05

  Didn't say anything about that. Philia.

• 32:55Speaker 05

  Grave robbing, man.

• 32:56Speaker 06

  Oh, sorry. Excuse me.

• 32:58Speaker 04

  Unbury is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground.

• 33:05Speaker 05

  Sitting there on the tip of the top. Phil just went straight to assumptions.

• 33:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:09Speaker 05

  What category was it?

• 33:10Speaker 06

  My haircut looks fine.

• 33:12Speaker 04

  Topic is natural history.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  Oh, right, right.

• 33:16Speaker 04

  Plays an important role in natural history.

• 33:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, Phil, I think one of the things that I appreciated most about your performance of Christmas Carol was the the grave robbers. I forgot that that was part of the the plot.

• 33:27Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 33:29Speaker 04

  Unbury.

• 33:30Speaker 05

  Victorian grave robbing is just great.

• 33:32Speaker 04

  It's a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground. That's why Randall's.

• 33:39Speaker 06

  Plaid.

• 33:40Speaker 04

  That's why Randall is so haunted. It's from all his, uh, grave digging, not the gun ownerships.

• 33:46Speaker 05

  No, it's probably some strange combination of those and other unnamed hobbies.

• 33:51Speaker 04

  Because you're not pure of heart.

• 33:52Speaker 05

  Yeah. Unbury.

• 33:55Speaker 04

  Unbury is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground. Randall, the only player with an answer.

• 34:03Speaker 05

  Unbury sounds like it could be a cool brand name, too.

• 34:06Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 34:07Speaker 06

  Or like a town name.

• 34:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:09Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 34:10Speaker 05

  Unbury, New Jersey.

• 34:11Speaker 04

  Unbury, Pennsylvania.

• 34:12Speaker 05

  Yeah. The sheriff of Unbury.

• 34:16Speaker 04

  Yanni, is your answer right?

• 34:18Speaker 05

  I believe it is.

• 34:19Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 34:21Speaker 05

  Dang it.

• 34:21Speaker 04

  Brody, is your answer right?

• 34:22Speaker 05

  I can't, it's just sitting there and it's not gonna come.

• 34:25Speaker 04

  Uh-oh.

• 34:26Speaker 05

  This is really gonna shake things up.

• 34:28Speaker 04

  It will. And we are going to get a scoreboard update.

• 34:31Speaker 05

  I'm just gonna change my spelling.

• 34:33Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 34:34Speaker 05

  Why? It doesn't matter. I don't know if this is a word. I just, I just got a flash of Yanni's board and I still can't come up with it.

• 34:41Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 34:43Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 34:43Speaker 05

  We're just talking synonyms, I gotta.

• 34:45Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth without an answer, Dane resurrect, uh, Yanni exhume, Randall exhume, Cory remove.

• 34:57Speaker 05

  Think about it.

• 34:57Speaker 04

  Marge exhume, Brody without an answer, the correct answer is. Exhume.

• 35:02Speaker 05

  That's big time.

• 35:03Speaker 04

  That is spelled E X H U M E. Uh, Yanni threw a G in there, which is just.

• 35:10Speaker 05

  Do I get it?

• 35:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, of course, yeah, Marge gets it right. E X H U M E.

• 35:14Speaker 05

  I'm scarred from.

• 35:15Speaker 04

  Exhuming helps scientists learn more about past life, including ancient diseases, diets and lifestyles. Sometimes it's done specifically to reevaluate someone's cause of death, like when Meriwether Lewis was exhumed in eighteen forty-eight to determine if he died via suicide or murder. Phil, two questions left, give us a scoreboard update.

• 35:37Speaker 06

  Seth was right, really did shake things up here.

• 35:41Speaker 06

  Dane, two points, Maggie, three points, Cory, four points, and a four way tie in first place between Seth, Yannis, Brody and Randall. They all have seven points.

• 35:51Speaker 04

  Coming back from the dead. We have been in an overtime.

• 35:55Speaker 05

  Resurrected. Your body was exhumed. Exhumed my chances of victory today.

• 36:00Speaker 04

  Question nine, the topic is public lands. Crowds gather at Indiana Dunes National Park to watch the sunset behind this city's skyline that lies thirty-five miles to the west.

• 36:16Speaker 04

  Randall had his answer before I finished the question. Brody now joins him, Yanni now joins him. Crowds gather at Indiana Dunes National Park to watch the sunset behind this city's skyline that lies thirty-five miles to the west. Cory, do you have this one right?

• 36:36Speaker 05

  Probably not.

• 36:37Speaker 04

  Seth, do you have this one right?

• 36:39Speaker 05

  I just threw down a city that I know is there. I I grew up not far from here and I didn't know that this was a thing.

• 36:44Speaker 04

  Hmm. And we will have a picture after this.

• 36:47Speaker 05

  Specifically, do you know that that city's thirty-five miles to the west? Nope.

• 36:52Speaker 04

  We will, uh, look at a photo of this afterwards. This is question nine. Seth needs to get this right to keep pace with Brody, Randall and Yanni.

• 37:01Speaker 05

  Actually, I don't know where Indiana, Indiana Dunes National Park is.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 37:07Speaker 04

  But you know that the city's there.

• 37:09Speaker 05

  I was going off of Indiana.

• 37:12Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 37:16Speaker 04

  Dane making a quick change.

• 37:19Speaker 04

  Crowds gather at.

• 37:20Speaker 05

  Hey, where are you from?

• 37:21Speaker 04

  Dunes National Park.

• 37:22Speaker 05

  Ah, yeah, but you threw me off and then you threw me off.

• 37:27Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 37:27Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 37:28Speaker 04

  Whoo.

• 37:32Speaker 04

  Twisted tail we're weaving here.

• 37:34Speaker 05

  Hopefully I threw you in the right direction because that's what I have now. Perfect.

• 37:38Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth and Dane say Indianapolis, Yanni and Randall say Chicago, Cory Indianapolis, Marge without an answer, Brody, Chicago. The correct answer is Chicago. Indiana Dunes National Park is located just east of Gary and on a clear day, you can see Chicago's skyscrapers from across Lake Michigan. The best time to visit for the iconic sunset is between mid-May and late July when the sun drops directly behind the city. Indiana Dunes became a national lakeshore in nineteen sixty-six, then was re-design, re-designated as a national park in twenty nineteen.

• 38:20Speaker 04

  And there is a photo of a sunset behind Chicago if you're standing at the Indiana Dunes.

• 38:27Speaker 05

  The old windy city. The city with big shoulders.

• 38:31Speaker 06

  There's like one day a year.

• 38:33Speaker 05

  The second city. What do you got, Dan?

• 38:36Speaker 06

  There's one day a year, I believe, in New York where the sun perfectly sets down. I don't know what road it is, but it's like.

• 38:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, Neil deGrasse Tyson, uh, has taken credit for finding that and making it a thing. And now a lot of people will go and watch that every year when it happens. I don't remember what it's called, like the New York City Equinox or whatever.

• 38:55Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 38:56Speaker 04

  Hmm. Uh, here's a correct answer review so far. One was spotted sea trout, two Russia, three gutless, four New Jersey, five Cormac McCarthy, six Yukon River, seven Stanley, eight exhume, nine Chicago. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 39:16Speaker 06

  Seth tripped up, but he's still in the running with seven points. However, Yannis, Brody and Randall are now tied up in first with eight.

• 39:22Speaker 04

  Question ten, the topic is conservation.

• 39:25Speaker 05

  No.

• 39:26Speaker 06

  Damn.

• 39:27Speaker 04

  A UK plant conservation group started this three word movement in twenty nineteen as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard.

• 39:43Speaker 05

  Three word movement.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  This is the final question.

• 39:46Speaker 07

  2019.

• 39:46Speaker 04

  And the room looks stumped. A UK conservation group started this three-word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. So your answer is that three-word movement.

• 40:06Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 40:07Speaker 04

  Still seven blank whiteboards.

• 40:10Speaker 05

  Is it?

• 40:12Speaker 04

  Not getting any hints. Seth.

• 40:15Speaker 05

  Does it build back better?

• 40:16Speaker 04

  In second place.

• 40:17Speaker 05

  Shove will shut up.

• 40:19Speaker 06

  Clean drain dry.

• 40:20Speaker 04

  Do you have this one right Seth?

• 40:22Speaker 06

  Nah, I have no clue. Just first thing that popped in my head that kind of made sense.

• 40:27Speaker 04

  A UK plant conservation group started this three-word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. If Seth can get this right and Yanni, Randall and Brody can get this one wrong, we will have a four-way tiebreaker, but Yanni just confidently put down his whiteboard. Yanni, do you have this one right?

• 40:54Speaker 06

  I have very educated guess.

• 40:56Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 40:57Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 40:57Speaker 04

  Now Randall's body language has changed.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:00Speaker 04

  He's shaking.

• 41:02Speaker 06

  Don't turn red here anymore.

• 41:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, I can feel it now.

• 41:06Speaker 04

  Brody, do you have this one right?

• 41:08Speaker 07

  I don't think so, but I know it's, I know the area I need to be in.

• 41:13Speaker 06

  I think I have two out of the three words.

• 41:16Speaker 04

  A UK plant conservation group started this three-word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. Corey, you have this one right. Man, I got a really good guess. Okay.

• 41:30Speaker 05

  Oh geez.

• 41:30Speaker 04

  Corey seems the most confident.

• 41:32Speaker 05

  I have no.

• 41:33Speaker 04

  I need this one.

• 41:34Speaker 05

  I have not the foggiest idea.

• 41:37Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 41:37Speaker 06

  You don't need, you don't need anything.

• 41:39Speaker 04

  Randall needs to hope that Yanni.

• 41:41Speaker 05

  Yeah. I hope everybody gets it wrong.

• 41:46Speaker 06

  Oh Randall, let's go out and get a hot dog after this.

• 41:50Speaker 05

  Let's do it.

• 41:52Speaker 05

  I had two yesterday.

• 41:53Speaker 06

  I gotta hear about Austria.

• 41:54Speaker 05

  Austriaic?

• 41:56Speaker 04

  Randall is now doing some writing. Are you ready Randall?

• 42:00Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 42:01Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says water at night. Dane without an answer. Yanni, no may mo. Randall.

• 42:11Speaker 06

  No!

• 42:13Speaker 04

  Yanni says no may mo.

• 42:14Speaker 06

  You know what I meant.

• 42:15Speaker 04

  Randall says on to overtime.

• 42:18Speaker 05

  With a question mark.

• 42:19Speaker 04

  Corey, no mo may.

• 42:21Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 42:22Speaker 04

  Marge, no mo slow grow. Brody, slow the mo. The correct answer is no mo may. Now what do we do with Yannis?

• 42:33Speaker 06

  It'd be more fun if we didn't give it to him.

• 42:36Speaker 04

  Give Yannis the win.

• 42:38Speaker 06

  I don't know how that happened.

• 42:39Speaker 04

  Again, the answer is no mo may. Yanni has no may mo.

• 42:42Speaker 05

  This would be a really liberal application of our spelling doesn't count policy.

• 42:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:49Speaker 06

  I'm gonna go, I think we should do whatever Randall says. Cause he takes this game so seriously.

• 42:56Speaker 04

  Well, Brody did give him the point.

• 42:59Speaker 05

  Don't put that on me.

• 43:00Speaker 04

  What do you think of that Randall?

• 43:03Speaker 05

  I think it's funny that he got the words backwards.

• 43:06Speaker 04

  It is weird. It's very weird.

• 43:08Speaker 06

  It's not the name of the movement. It's not. Listen, we can go bill against me. We haven't been to overtime in so long.

• 43:15Speaker 04

  Don't give it to me. Don't give it to me. Corey's the only one who got it right. Corey, what do you think?

• 43:20Speaker 05

  Let's go to overtime.

• 43:21Speaker 04

  Okay, we're going to overtime. It is no mo may. The no mo may movement quickly spread to North America with some iterations being slow mo summer or low mo spring. More than 30 US cities have adopted a version of the program encouraging homeowners to let their grass grow. No mo may provides more food and habitat for pollinators, creates stronger root systems, reduces water usage and cuts down on air and noise pollution. Plus it means less chores.

• 43:52Speaker 07

  Plus it makes your HOA really mad.

• 43:54Speaker 04

  There you go. Alright, we're headed to overtime. Play the drop Phil.

• 43:58Speaker 05

  I hope you win in overtime. Thank you Randall.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  In overtime, we have a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Randall, Yanni and Brody will be declared today's winner, but the rest of the room is going to play along as well because if somebody gets it right on the nose, MeatEater will add an extra $100 to today's donation.

• 44:19Speaker 07

  Anyone mark up this newly stained table today?

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Hasn't happened yet. Alright, the overtime topic is fishing. How many pages is the average state's fishing regulations handbook? I got this number by checking 10 different states and if they had the regulations broken up by freshwater and saltwater, I did not use them.

• 44:42Speaker 04

  How many pages is the average state's fishing regulations handbook?

• 44:52Speaker 06

  So you went off of states that.

• 44:54Speaker 04

  I used 10 states.

• 44:55Speaker 06

  Mostly don't have an ocean.

• 44:57Speaker 04

  There are some states that have their regulations in one if they have a saltwater fishery, but if they split them up into two, I did not include them for the purpose of this.

• 45:07Speaker 06

  Hmm, numbers not my strong suit.

• 45:10Speaker 04

  How many pages is the average state's fishing reg- regulations handbook?

• 45:15Speaker 05

  Randomly guessing the numbers of handbooks I haven't seen is not my strong suit. So we're, we're on even territory here.

• 45:22Speaker 04

  Corey, I was confident you would get that last one because you do know mo may. I do no mo July, no mo August, no mo September. Good for you. I think I only mow in June, honestly. Hey Corey is lots of mowing June.

• 45:35Speaker 05

  A big pollinator guy.

• 45:37Speaker 04

  No, we just don't have water to make our grass grow. Is everybody ready?

• 45:43Speaker 05

  We don't have soil.

• 45:44Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says 65. Dane, 67. Yanni, 55.

• 45:53Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 45:54Speaker 04

  Randall, 58.

• 45:55Speaker 06

  We're so close.

• 45:56Speaker 04

  Corey, 98. Marge, 47. Brody, 39.

• 46:03Speaker 04

  Our players left Brody, Randall, Yanni. The correct answer is 72, making Randall the winner. He was 14 pages off, but I think Dane is the closest in the room. He was five pages off. 72 pages. Of the states I checked, Arkansas had the biggest handbook at 96 pages and Kentucky had the smallest handbook at 40 pages. Utah was dead nuts on the average at 72 pages. Randall, today's winner, what are you gonna do with that $500 donation?

• 46:37Speaker 05

  Uh, let's send that to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. There's obviously a lot in the headlines of late regarding federal public land policy decisions that sportsmen and women need a voice in DC who are sticking up for wild places and wild animals. So send it TRCP's way.

• 47:00Speaker 04

  And do you feel good about this victory after no?

• 47:03Speaker 05

  No, I don't. It's actually a cheapened, well, no, I think I, I'll take it.

• 47:07Speaker 04

  You'll take it.

• 47:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  Someone once said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

• 48:27Speaker 03

  I did. Mike Tyson.

• 48:29Speaker 02

  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.

• 48:37Speaker 03

  That's a low blow.

• 48:38Speaker 02

  Totally, but you can do something about it.

• 48:40Speaker 03

  You have to punch back.

• 48:42Speaker 02

  No, Mike, you gotta switch to Boost with a plan that's $25 a month forever.

• 48:47Speaker 03

  Oh, that's a great plan. Maybe you can do both. Boost Mobile, what's your plan?

• 48:53Speaker 02

  We know kids don't hold back and I wouldn't want them to. Get in there, make a mess, slide for home, bring on the stains.
