  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 Neuharth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Brody, Randall, Mark, Reva, and Nick Glenn. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

• 2:08Speaker 05

  Can I give you, ask a question?

• 2:09Speaker 04

  What do you have?

• 2:11Speaker 05

  You used to give Randall top billing.

• 2:13Speaker 04

  Did I? I feel like I change it up a lot.

• 2:16Speaker 05

  Do you?

• 2:16Speaker 04

  I think I do.

• 2:17Speaker 05

  I feel like Randall had top billing and then...

• 2:19Speaker 04

  But then sometimes I'm like, I think I'm over-correcting. I'm like, well, I had Randall as the first name a lot recently. So now he got, he has, he was bumped down to like fourth billing.

• 2:28Speaker 06

  Well, I thought you always done it by seniority. Cause I was actually, when you gave me my list of guests for my show later today, I tried to rank them by who's been here the longest. And I always thought that's why my name came, come, came first.

• 2:41Speaker 04

  No, it's because you're... You're the headliner. Cause you're famous, man. Yeah.

• 2:45Speaker 06

  Not because I'm employee number one.

• 2:48Speaker 04

  Is that your employee number?

• 2:51Speaker 06

  Either Steve or myself.

• 2:52Speaker 04

  Meat Eater Trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, Bush Light. Bush Light head for the mountains. All right, Nick, this is your first time on the show. That's why you were the last name. Uh huh. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

• 3:04Speaker 05

  I am the social media video editor.

• 3:06Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 3:07Speaker 06

  Close to the mic, Nick.

• 3:09Speaker 05

  Sorry, social media video editor.

• 3:11Speaker 04

  That means when a really funny video of like Randall comes out, you're the guy back there on the ones and twos.

• 3:18Speaker 04

  Making sure that it's really funny.

• 3:19Speaker 05

  Trying to make up for that. Yep, yep, shooting, editing. Everything.

• 3:23Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 3:23Speaker 05

  Everything you see.

• 3:24Speaker 04

  Strengths and weaknesses when it comes to Meat Eater Trivia. Hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking. What do you think?

• 3:29Speaker 05

  Well, I am a first-generation hunter, if you, if that's what it's called. I don't really know. So still figuring it all out, uh, hunting-wise, but very confident. Fishing, freshwater, mostly saltwater, but fishing forward.

• 3:42Speaker 04

  Nick yelled across the hallway this morning from his office to my office that he got his driver's license yesterday. So now he's gonna own a deer tag in Montana this year.

• 3:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, hopefully.

• 3:51Speaker 04

  It's all happening. Look out deer now.

• 3:53Speaker 05

  Fast, seriously.

• 3:53Speaker 04

  Congratulations.

• 3:54Speaker 05

  You got your driver's license or you got your driver's license back?

• 3:59Speaker 05

  Got a driver's license.

• 4:00Speaker 04

  Nice.

• 4:01Speaker 06

  In the state of Montana.

• 4:02Speaker 04

  In Montana. Oh, oh, oh. I thought you just didn't know how to drive. Yeah.

• 4:06Speaker 05

  Figuring it out.

• 4:07Speaker 04

  We're starting today 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 Steven in Minnesota. When going out to hunt public land, I was wondering if the crew had any odd, peculiar things that they take into consideration. For example, I hunt a lot of public lands in western Wisconsin. One factor I consider is whether the Packers are playing that day. Bonus if it's against a division opponent or primetime game. Another is that this small Minnesota town I hunt by has a weekly community event, and I try to hunt whenever this is going on. My assumption is that potential hunters will be busy tending to these things, watching the Packers or going to this community event. I'm not sure if these factors really matter, though.

• 4:52Speaker 04

  But I think it's working so far. All right, what do we think for Steven?

• 4:57Speaker 05

  I think that's smart, what he's doing and what he's thinking about. I mean, I always just look at shitty weather. Like, I like the shitty weather days because most other people don't.

• 5:06Speaker 04

  Or like the, the good-bad weather. Where it's like November 10, it's 70 degrees and everyone's like, ugh, you can't, you know, the deer aren't moving now.

• 5:13Speaker 05

  Good point, yeah.

• 5:14Speaker 04

  So the good-bad weather, same thing. Cat grizz game in Montana. It's a good one. There you go. It's also good because you can stop by local bars like mid-afternoon and they might have a full spread set out. Okay. If you're, if you're the, if you're able to, holidays are good, too. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day is an excellent time. Yeah. There's been some studies done by Auburn University, Dr. Stephen Ditchkov. He talked about this in other podcasts before, but that Thursdays are the best days of the week on public land. That's when deer movement is the most normal. Saturday and Sunday, they get pounded. Monday, Tuesday, they're recovering. Wednesday, it's like creeping back to normal.

• 5:58Speaker 04

  And then Thursday is like the most normal that it gets out there.

• 6:01Speaker 06

  Not anymore.

• 6:03Speaker 04

  Well, yeah, we've now ruined it. I think, you know, this is like the fifth podcast that that's been said on. But it's just, you know, good advice in general. Thursdays are when the, the studies show that deer are on their feet the most. Anything else for Steven in Minnesota?

• 6:19Speaker 04

  All right, good luck, Steven.

• 6:22Speaker 04

  All right, before housekeeping today, Randall is going to give us a live tour update. Randall, what's happening with the live tour?

• 6:29Speaker 04

  It's canceled? No, it's actually, it's, it's on. It's on.

• 6:33Speaker 06

  Yeah, I don't think Fargo has any tickets left.

• 6:36Speaker 04

  I gotta go back. My phone's in airplane mode. I've checked on who's playing Monday Night Football. It screwed everything up. Okay. So, uh, live tour, Grand Rapids, Michigan, December 14th. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the 15th. Madison, Wisconsin. I don't need to say the date every time. The following day, Des Moines, Iowa. Minneapolis, Minnesota. And Fargo, North Dakota. Who are you most excited for? Pick one. Don't be like, oh, they're all fun. I love everybody. You know, I'm very excited for Milwaukee and Madison.

• 7:08Speaker 06

  Oh, me too.

• 7:09Speaker 04

  I just think good, that's our people. I mean, they're all our people, but Milwaukee, I think just Wisconsin, Wisconsinites are a different breed, I feel like. We have a lot, we have a lot of love in the house for Wisconsinites. Yanni, which stop you most excited for?

• 7:26Speaker 06

  I mean, Grand Rapids will be good because that, you know, hometown pretty much, you know, 45 minutes from where I grew up. And so we'll have a warm welcome there.

• 7:37Speaker 06

  Yeah, I don't know. I'm sorry, Spencer. They're all gonna be great fun.

• 7:41Speaker 04

  Phil has been scouting tiki locations already.

• 7:43Speaker 06

  I mean, that's, that's why Milwaukee is the site I'm looking forward to. There's a bar there called Foundation that I have, I have not visited yet.

• 7:51Speaker 04

  There's also a sausage place.

• 7:52Speaker 06

  Are you gonna take all of us?

• 7:53Speaker 04

  I have Rex for it.

• 7:54Speaker 06

  Everyone's invited.

• 7:55Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 7:55Speaker 06

  Everyone in the crowd, you're invited to.

• 7:57Speaker 04

  Wow, okay.

• 7:57Speaker 06

  Shut it down.

• 7:58Speaker 05

  Is it you singers?

• 8:00Speaker 04

  I don't know. I have to check my DMs. He's gonna get his phone out again. No, I don't want to do that. I feel like that's boring. Meat Eater, themeat eater.com/events. Go on there to find your tickets. Don't go to these weird reselling sites where they jack up the prices. I've seen, uh, in the comments on all of our social media, I've seen some people saying they got charged X amount, they got charged Y amount. Go directly to the, to the website. They'll take you to the venue. Whatever, whatever. Follow trusted websites when buying tickets. Okay. That's all I'll say. Randall's the secondary market, actually. Was that sufficiently? You did it, you did. Good, good, good. Now we have some real housekeeping. On a previous episode of Trivia, I had a question about the 10-letter word for the small tool used by hunters to track air currents.

• 8:45Speaker 04

  The correct answer was wind indicator. But a few listeners wrote in to say that there is another correct answer, which is an anemometer. Anemometer is defined as, quote, "an instrument used to measure wind speed, force, and airflow," and it is 10 letters. So those listeners are right. If you said anemometer, give yourself a point. I had a, a follow-up to that that I forgot about. The other, the other wind indicator we used in Austria? Bubbles. No way. Like little kids' bubbles. What? Cute. Yeah. Up in the stand, take out the little thing of bubbles. And then you can see... You can watch that thing glide. As they drift away, you can see if the wind's turning or swirling or whatever. That's a hot tip. Yeah. I wonder if you like put some food coloring in there?

• 9:30Speaker 04

  If you'd like see it even further. And it's so delightful. Yeah. It's just fun. It adds like a little childish glee to the day.

• 9:37Speaker 06

  It would only work in country, in habitat where there's like very little trees, brush, or whatever, because...

• 9:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean... But that's with any wind indicator.

• 9:47Speaker 05

  Milkweed, get hung up on stuff.

• 9:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 9:50Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 9:52Speaker 04

  Okay, don't blow bubbles in the woods, Yanni. Have it your way.

• 9:55Speaker 06

  No, I'm just like, I was just, it just seems like they would very quickly pop.

• 10:01Speaker 04

  It's, you're covering, you're covering an area. You just gotta blow a lot.

• 10:05Speaker 05

  Do they, do they have a hunt-specific, like vessel for these? Or you take a big car?

• 10:09Speaker 06

  Well, there's a marketing, a real product opportunity.

• 10:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 10:13Speaker 05

  Meeting their bubbles.

• 10:14Speaker 06

  I'm a little, I'm a little surprised that it's not like a whitetail thing. I could just see Mark up in a saddle.

• 10:21Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 10:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, man.

• 10:22Speaker 04

  Nick, for our next April Fool's skit for our social media. And it's estrus, estrus-scented.

• 10:29Speaker 06

  A little wand has different shapes.

• 10:32Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 10:32Speaker 06

  You make a little shape of a buck that you blow through.

• 10:35Speaker 04

  All right, that's a wind indicator with a lot of whimsy.

• 10:37Speaker 06

  Write that down.

• 10:38Speaker 04

  The Shelby index for today is a four, so our winner's... Should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 10:47Speaker 07

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

• 10:53Speaker 02

  Just tend to win everything.

• 11:02Speaker 04

  Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is biology. This first great question is via Justin Andrews. And as always, it would be multiple choice. Dendrology is the study of blank. Is it fungi, snakes, trees, or insects?

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Dendrology, D E N D R O L O G Y, is the study of, is it fungi, snakes, trees, or insects? And Justin Andrews, he sent me this question all the way back in 2022. So for the listeners who are worried that they haven't heard their question yet, just know it's never too late. You could send one today. And in 2030 on a show, I'm going to read that question. Dendrology is the study of blank.

• 11:56Speaker 05

  You gonna be doing this?

• 11:57Speaker 04

  Fungi, snakes, trees, insects.

• 11:59Speaker 05

  Well, I'll be in walkers and like canes and stuff.

• 12:08Speaker 04

  Randall, I don't think he even needed the choices on this one. Brody, do you know this one?

• 12:13Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  Okay, Mark, you know this one.

• 12:15Speaker 06

  Ah.

• 12:16Speaker 04

  Maybe.

• 12:17Speaker 06

  I've got it narrowed down to two, if you're wondering, Spencer.

• 12:19Speaker 04

  I was wondering.

• 12:21Speaker 05

  At least I'm very confident.

• 12:23Speaker 04

  Dendrology is the study of fungi, snakes, trees, or insects.

• 12:32Speaker 06

  If I didn't have the choices, I would have said something else.

• 12:34Speaker 04

  Okay. Yeah, the choices help on this one. Everybody ready?

• 12:38Speaker 06

  I would have been in the neighborhood.

• 12:39Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says trees. Mark, fungi. Yanni, snakes. Reva, fungi. Nick, insects. Brody, trees. Every one of the answers was represented. The correct answer is trees. Brody and Randall got that one right.

• 13:00Speaker 05

  I used process of elimination.

• 13:02Speaker 04

  Mycology is the study of fungi. Serpentology is the study of snakes. Entomology is the study of insects. And dendrology is the study of trees, shrubs, and other woody plants. The term comes from the Greek word dendron, which means tree.

• 13:20Speaker 06

  I would have said herpetology for snakes.

• 13:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 13:22Speaker 05

  I think that's a broader term.

• 13:24Speaker 06

  Serpentology is sweet.

• 13:26Speaker 04

  Yeah. Question two, the topic is fishing. Superstitious anglers going back to the 1700s have said that it's bad luck to bring this fruit onto a boat.

• 13:38Speaker 05

  I am, we've never had this.

• 13:40Speaker 04

  Never done this one.

• 13:42Speaker 06

  That is amazing.

• 13:43Speaker 04

  I, I did something similar many years ago. I could tell you about it after this question, but I don't want to give you any hints. Do you guys all respect this rule?

• 13:50Speaker 06

  No.

• 13:50Speaker 05

  No. I used to mess with my clients when they

• 13:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's more like for funny banter.

• 13:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:58Speaker 04

  Yeah. Captain Randall, you didn't have any strict

• 14:02Speaker 04

  rules about this.

• 14:03Speaker 06

  No.

• 14:03Speaker 05

  Like if your clients really sucked.

• 14:07Speaker 05

  That's why.

• 14:08Speaker 06

  No, and actually, I think, I think I learned about this because I brought this on a boat.

• 14:16Speaker 04

  Bad captain.

• 14:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, but then it didn't bother me. Because I didn't believe in it.

• 14:21Speaker 04

  Okay. Superstitious anglers going back to the 1700s have said that it's bad luck to bring this fruit onto a boat.

• 14:29Speaker 06

  But I got razzed.

• 14:30Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready? I'm surprised it goes back that far, though.

• 14:34Speaker 05

  There's a reason.

• 14:34Speaker 04

  After this.

• 14:35Speaker 06

  Oh geez.

• 14:36Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the whole room saying banana. The whole room got it right. The correct answer is bananas. This nautical superstition has been shared by boaters across the globe for hundreds of years, and it's not totally unfounded. Bananas release gas as they ripen, and on old wooden ships, this could cause other food to rot quickly. And because of their shortened lifetime, it's said that boats carrying them would try to sail faster, which made for riskier trips. So maybe it wasn't a total coincidence when boats with bananas seemed to have more bad luck.

• 15:10Speaker 05

  I got another reason that I heard.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 15:13Speaker 05

  They would, when they would come across floating, like, whatever you call it, they'd be, the ship sunk.

• 15:19Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 15:20Speaker 05

  Some bananas are floating.

• 15:21Speaker 04

  Bananas make it.

• 15:23Speaker 06

  Yeah, bananas do make other things stink. I remember very vividly on a camping trip as a kid, having a box of Captain Crunch ruined by banana stink.

• 15:32Speaker 04

  Wow. I didn't know it was that, uh, that powerful.

• 15:34Speaker 06

  You know, like if you have bananas in a, in a cooler with some, and the bananas start to turn and everything just tastes like bananas.

• 15:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:39Speaker 06

  Did this to Captain Crunch.

• 15:41Speaker 04

  Uh, the question that I had that was similar to this many years ago was something about this underwear brand is not allowed on some boat because of their logo. It was fruit of the loom.

• 15:51Speaker 06

  Captain Crunch's real name is Horatio Magellan Crunch. I just wanted you to know that.

• 15:56Speaker 05

  Incredible fun fact.

• 15:57Speaker 04

  Question three, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Daxton Clatworthy. Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011 episode of this post-apocalyptic show.

• 16:15Speaker 04

  Hmm. Randall and Brody think they have the perfect game.

• 16:18Speaker 05

  Geez.

• 16:19Speaker 04

  Still going. They have their answer for number three. Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011 episode of this post-apocalyptic show. Nick Glenn, do you have this one right?

• 16:33Speaker 06

  I believe so.

• 16:34Speaker 04

  Okay, have you seen this show?

• 16:35Speaker 06

  I believe so.

• 16:37Speaker 04

  You think you've seen the show?

• 16:38Speaker 06

  Uh, if it's, if it's right, then yes. I have no idea.

• 16:43Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 16:43Speaker 06

  If mine's right.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  Reva, do you have this one right? No. Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011 episode of this post-apocalyptic show. Randall's uncapping his marker, thinking about picking up his whiteboard.

• 16:59Speaker 06

  I just thought of another post-apocalyptic show.

• 17:01Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  Oh geez.

• 17:04Speaker 04

  Phil, can you give us a review of this show after the answer is revealed? Do you have an opinion on it?

• 17:09Speaker 05

  I mean, I can give an opinion without spoiling anything, which is that I watched the first two seasons and checked out.

• 17:13Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 17:14Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  Knowing what we know about Phil, is that a clue of some way? If it is and hasn't helped Yanni.

• 17:22Speaker 06

  It didn't have enough nudity in it, so Phil was out.

• 17:26Speaker 04

  There we go.

• 17:29Speaker 06

  Crass language and nudity.

• 17:32Speaker 04

  Yanni, can you name any post-apocalyptic shows? Picking up his whiteboard.

• 17:39Speaker 04

  Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011 episode of this post-apocalyptic show.

• 17:49Speaker 04

  Great question here from Daxton.

• 17:51Speaker 06

  Hmm. I have another one, but I think it's too recent.

• 17:56Speaker 04

  Oh, this is a doozy.

• 17:58Speaker 06

  Oh geez.

• 17:59Speaker 04

  Yanni, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Walking Dead. Mark, The Walking Dead. Yanni, Dead Men Walking. That's the, uh,

• 18:11Speaker 06

  That's the Sean Penn film, isn't it?

• 18:12Speaker 04

  The Great Value brand.

• 18:14Speaker 06

  Or no.

• 18:14Speaker 04

  Reva says Metallock Metalocalypse. Metalocalypse.

• 18:19Speaker 05

  Good answer.

• 18:20Speaker 04

  Nick, Walking Dead. Brody, The Walking Dead. The correct answer is The Walking Dead.

• 18:24Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 18:25Speaker 04

  The accident happens in the season two premiere of the show. 12-year-old Carl is walking through the forest when he comes upon a giant velvet buck. He amazingly sneaks to within just a couple of yards of the deer. When a shot rings out, the bullet rips through the buck's chest before hitting Carl in the abdomen. The whitetail dies, but Carl survives thanks to emergency treatment from a veterinarian. Question four, the topic is wildlife. A 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter animal is actually an alien that arrived here on a comet in egg form 270 million years ago.

• 19:10Speaker 04

  A 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter animal is actually an alien that arrived here on a comet in egg form 270 million years ago.

• 19:25Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 19:26Speaker 04

  Randall and Brody are playing hangman and they've done some erasing. That animal didn't have seven letters, huh?

• 19:31Speaker 06

  No, it had eight. It would have been a good one, too.

• 19:34Speaker 05

  Mine.

• 19:36Speaker 05

  I think we should be right.

• 19:39Speaker 04

  Hmm. A 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter animal is actually an alien that arrived here on a comet in egg form 270 million years ago. Nick is the only player who likes his answer. He's grinning, he's nodding. You got seven-letter animal over there that you think could be an alien?

• 19:59Speaker 06

  It's a seven-letter animal, that's for sure.

• 20:02Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 20:03Speaker 06

  That's why I keep checking my board to make sure that I spell it right.

• 20:08Speaker 06

  Any hints?

• 20:09Speaker 04

  I've told you everything you need to know. Reva, do you have this one right? I feel fairly confident. Okay.

• 20:16Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 20:17Speaker 04

  But I don't know. Reva and Nick are other four players, though. Don't have it. A 2018 study in a biophysics journal.

• 20:26Speaker 05

  This is like a legit study.

• 20:28Speaker 04

  Peer reviewed. I'll, I'll tell you about it in the flavor text. A 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter animal is actually an alien that arrived here on a comet in egg form 270 million years ago.

• 20:41Speaker 06

  How'd you find this question?

• 20:43Speaker 04

  Uh, I've been vaguely aware of this study for a while, and I finally just made it into, into some content.

• 20:52Speaker 04

  I'm surprised more people don't have guesses. Yeah, good for you, Reva.

• 20:57Speaker 04

  Get them.

• 20:59Speaker 04

  This is question four.

• 21:00Speaker 06

  It's gonna be us on the rest of the questions, though.

• 21:04Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 21:05Speaker 04

  Yanni hasn't done any writing yet. You just throwing the white flag on this one, Yanni?

• 21:13Speaker 06

  I mean, I know a lot of seven-lettered animals, but not ones that would be, you know, considered aliens, I don't think.

• 21:26Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 21:26Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 21:28Speaker 04

  A lot of weird noises from the, from the crew today.

• 21:32Speaker 04

  Now, Reva and Nick, they got this one. You guys should show each other your whiteboard. Oh, and do you agree?

• 21:37Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 21:37Speaker 04

  Okay, that's fun.

• 21:38Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 21:39Speaker 04

  This is amazing. Two that are so confident and the rest of us They know they're UFOs.

• 21:45Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 21:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 21:49Speaker 04

  Randall, do you have a seven-letter animal?

• 21:51Speaker 06

  I have a seven-letter animal.

• 21:53Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 21:54Speaker 06

  And I don't like it.

• 21:57Speaker 06

  I think it's no pay answer. I just don't like the animal.

• 22:05Speaker 04

  Yanni, Mark, are you ready? I got nothing. Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying octopus. Mark and Yanni without an answer. Riva and Nick say octopus. Brody says penguin.

• 22:21Speaker 06

  Platypus, that was my first answer.

• 22:23Speaker 04

  The correct answer is octopus. Half of our players got that one right.

• 22:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, that makes sense.

• 22:30Speaker 04

  This is known as the Pan's Permia theory, which says that life exists around the universe and is distributed by space debris. The hypothesis was first suggested by a Greek philosopher who believed meteors contained cosmic seeds that bounced around between planets. The 2018 peer reviewed study specifically called out the octopus as being a potential alien. They argued that frozen octopus eggs attached to a comet might explain the mysterious creature. But mainstream scientists were very critical of the paper, saying it lacks any basic evidence.

• 23:04Speaker 06

  Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

• 23:05Speaker 04

  Could be 270 million years ago, though a comet with frozen octopus eggs hit the ocean. And that's where we're at today.

• 23:14Speaker 06

  I guess we'll never know.

• 23:16Speaker 04

  Question five, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Brian Clement. The pallid blank, which is considered one of the most endangered fish in North America, was added to the endangered species list in 1990.

• 23:34Speaker 04

  Brody, Randall, Mark, Yanni, they all got it.

• 23:40Speaker 04

  But our UFO experts,

• 23:43Speaker 04

  Nick and Riva do not. The pallid blank, which is considered one of the most endangered fish in North America, was added to the endangered species list in 1990.

• 23:59Speaker 04

  Pallid blank. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.

• 24:07Speaker 04

  By the way, next month, our next five episodes, we have guest host month. All your favorite meteor trivia players are going to be in the driver's seat. Yanni is up first. But we got an episode from Brody, from Randall, from Mark, from Nate. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

• 24:22Speaker 05

  I wasn't asked to return. Why is that?

• 24:25Speaker 06

  Oh, you can host mine if you want.

• 24:27Speaker 05

  Oh, you hosted one, Phil? I'm sad I missed both of those.

• 24:31Speaker 04

  Phil, I would, I would love for you to host.

• 24:34Speaker 06

  I'm on the 12th. You can have that.

• 24:36Speaker 05

  Ah, I think I might be busy that, that time. Phil, was the D and D thing for trivia or something else? That was for trivia. That was just a fun surprise that everyone enjoyed, right?

• 24:49Speaker 05

  I still have, like, I think I won, but I still have trauma.

• 24:52Speaker 06

  One of my greatest regrets in life is missing that day.

• 24:55Speaker 04

  That was bad. Bad for Randall. Great from Phil. The pallid blank, which is considered one of the most endangered fish in North America, was added to the endangered species list in 1990. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall and Mark and Yanni. And the whole room says sturgeon. The whole room got it right. It's the pallid sturgeon. Pallid sturgeon are native to the Missouri and Mississippi River watersheds. They grow up to six feet long and 80 pounds. Their populations have cratered in the last 100 years due to dam construction, habitat loss. It's estimated that their, that the upper stretch of their native range, there are fewer than 50 adult fish remaining. There is me with a pallid surgeon.

• 25:39Speaker 06

  Sick haircut.

• 25:41Speaker 04

  That had been like circa, I don't know, 2014.

• 25:43Speaker 05

  It's like the same haircut the kids are wearing now.

• 25:45Speaker 04

  God, I was doing it first.

• 25:47Speaker 05

  I was reading about one of those suckers that took a left out of the Yellowstone in eastern Montana and went like 150 miles up the Powder River. Which if you've seen the Powder River, it's like, how did he get that far?

• 26:00Speaker 06

  I like your glasses, too.

• 26:02Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 26:03Speaker 06

  It's like you're playing second base. Those were my river working days. Got them on the Reds.

• 26:09Speaker 04

  All right, Phil, we're halfway through today's game. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 26:16Speaker 05

  We do have a perfect game on the board. Dr. Randall's got five points. Nick and Brody are a point behind him. Randall got one wrong.

• 26:24Speaker 06

  No, I got them all right.

• 26:25Speaker 05

  I tried. I tried. Nick and Brody have four. Mark Kenyon has, oh wait, and Mark and Riva have three. Yannis Patellas is in last place with two. Are you sure? Only two? Two measly points. I'm 99%.

• 26:38Speaker 06

  I did that once. Don't worry about it.

• 26:42Speaker 04

  Yanni got bananas and he got pallid sturgeon. That's it.

• 26:47Speaker 05

  Phil, aren't you gonna rub it in that you never get it wrong? Uh, Yannis, I'm always right. Don't question me.

• 26:57Speaker 05

  911, what's your emergency?

• 27:00Speaker 02

  Please help us. They're everywhere. We think they're murder women. 911 Nashville returns. What's a homicide detective doing here? Three bodies on the ground.

• 28:25Speaker 04

  Question six. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Andrew Heatherwick. This Austrian gunmaker, who is best known for their pistols, announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen.

• 28:42Speaker 04

  This seems right in your lane, Randall.

• 28:44Speaker 06

  My gosh, Randall, if you don't know this.

• 28:47Speaker 04

  This Austrian gunmaker, who is best known for their pistols, announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen.

• 28:57Speaker 06

  I mean, best known for their pistols.

• 29:00Speaker 04

  Best known for their pistols.

• 29:04Speaker 04

  This Austrian gunmaker, who is best known for their pistols, announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen.

• 29:14Speaker 04

  Randall, do you have this one right?

• 29:16Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 29:17Speaker 04

  How many Austrian gunmakers can you name, you think?

• 29:21Speaker 06

  I mean, I have two down right now.

• 29:26Speaker 06

  The horse semen is what's throwing me off. I don't think I've ever purchased horse semen from an Austrian gunmaker.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  He thinks, you're more of a German horse semen guy.

• 29:40Speaker 06

  Now the Swiss. Tell you what.

• 29:44Speaker 05

  I wonder if they also sell guns with which to implant the horse semen.

• 29:50Speaker 05

  Interesting.

• 29:51Speaker 04

  This Austrian gunmaker, who is best known for their pistols, announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen. What I want to know is what kind of rabbit hole led you to this? Were you Googling pistols or semen? The rabbit hole was Andrew Heatherwick sending this great question. Okay, Andrew.

• 30:09Speaker 04

  Well, same question to him.

• 30:10Speaker 06

  I just, yeah.

• 30:14Speaker 06

  I feel like if it's not what I think it is, it's too esoteric for most of the room.

• 30:21Speaker 06

  But I don't know.

• 30:22Speaker 04

  Do our other players give up?

• 30:26Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Glock. Mark, Torres, Yanni, Colt. Riva, Nick without an answer. Brody, H and K. The correct answer is Glock. Randall. Oh my God, not shy.

• 30:44Speaker 04

  Glock, which started selling guns in 1982, created a branch of their business dedicated to horses in 2010. The Glock Horse Performance Center was a high profile training and breeding operation that became one of the powerhouses of dressage. But after Glock's founder died in 2023, the family announced that they'd be shuttering the equine side of their business.

• 31:08Speaker 06

  Yeah, I figured that, yeah, the date lined up with the family, whatnot.

• 31:15Speaker 04

  They had a good run as the premier dressage.

• 31:18Speaker 06

  They have a big facility in Furlough.

• 31:21Speaker 04

  Glock does?

• 31:21Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 31:22Speaker 04

  Well, I think they used to, but I think it's like since their announcement, they've been moving away from it. And they said by 2026, all will be out of the Glock name.

• 31:31Speaker 06

  Not the semen, the guns.

• 31:34Speaker 04

  The gun.

• 31:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the guns.

• 31:38Speaker 04

  Question seven, the topic is fishing. This six letter word is defined as, quote, "A small, low-powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom next to the primary engine."

• 31:54Speaker 04

  Randall and Brody, they got it. Yanni, he thinks he has it. This six letter word is defined as "A small, low-powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom next to the primary engine."

• 32:12Speaker 05

  I got one of these. I need to sell.

• 32:17Speaker 04

  Has your bear rug sold yet?

• 32:19Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 32:19Speaker 04

  Oh, it did?

• 32:20Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 32:21Speaker 04

  Congratulations.

• 32:22Speaker 05

  Did you sell it through the store? How'd you do it?

• 32:24Speaker 04

  Did you have to come down off of, uh, your original ask?

• 32:27Speaker 05

  Well, I mean, there's always some haggling involved.

• 32:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, alright. Now you can find Brody's, uh, this thing at the store next.

• 32:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, you should put it in the window.

• 32:40Speaker 04

  This six-letter word is defined as, quote, "A small, low-powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom next to the primary engine." Randall switched up his seat today because the other one's been bad luck.

• 32:55Speaker 06

  It has.

• 32:56Speaker 04

  And now Yanni, who's in last place.

• 32:57Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 32:58Speaker 04

  Is in the bad luck seat.

• 33:00Speaker 06

  Yeah, I don't know if I shared this on, on the air, but I had someone the other day greet me and said, "You used to be so good at trivia."

• 33:08Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 33:10Speaker 06

  And I figured desperate times.

• 33:13Speaker 05

  Are you done with stats of the week?

• 33:16Speaker 04

  I think I'm done with stats.

• 33:17Speaker 05

  Really?

• 33:17Speaker 04

  Yeah. We've, we've seen all the stats by now. I'd, I'd rather, uh, answer the listener questions that they have. Six-letter word is defined as "A small, low-powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom next to the primary engine." Is everybody ready?

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says kicker. Mark without an answer. Yanni, kicker. Reva and Nick without an answer. Brody, kicker. The correct answer is kicker.

• 33:45Speaker 05

  Nick, I understand, uh, it's your first time, but you came in here hard on the fishing thing. Hey, I'm on boats, saltwater. We don't really call them kickers.

• 33:54Speaker 04

  What do you call them?

• 33:54Speaker 05

  You know, we were just, it's just like a trolling motor, you know, or like the outboard motor, like, I was just trying to think of something with six and nothing came.

• 34:01Speaker 04

  Kicker motors range from five horsepower to 25 horsepower with 9.9 being the most popular choice. By not going above 10 horsepower, the engine skirts rules regarding registration and horsepower limits. The purpose of a kicker is to give anglers low-speed control of the boat while also having a reliable emergency backup motor. What, uh, horsepower is yours, Brody? 9.9?

• 34:25Speaker 05

  Five.

• 34:26Speaker 04

  Oh, five. We're on to question eight. The topic is conservation. Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries.

• 34:41Speaker 06

  Did I get my spelling right?

• 34:42Speaker 04

  Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries. Randall, do you just know this one? Or are you taking a guess?

• 34:56Speaker 06

  I, I knew this. I also feel like there's only a few to choose from.

• 35:02Speaker 04

  Seven.

• 35:02Speaker 06

  And there's some sufficient context in the question.

• 35:06Speaker 04

  Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries. That's a man who's, uh, confident in his, uh, position on the scoreboard, just handing out all those hints.

• 35:21Speaker 06

  I, I, is it a hint? Uh, I guess. I mean, the continents, yeah.

• 35:25Speaker 05

  I can't catch them anyway. I'm reading my answer the way it is.

• 35:29Speaker 04

  Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries. Mark, you know this one?

• 35:39Speaker 05

  Eh, just a guess.

• 35:41Speaker 06

  I bet it's a good one.

• 35:42Speaker 04

  We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Africa. Mark, Africa. Yanni, Africa. Reva, Africa. Nick, Africa. Brody, Asia. The correct answer is Africa. Room did well.

• 36:00Speaker 05

  Africa.

• 36:01Speaker 04

  From the 13th to 16th century, Timbuktu was one of the wealthiest and most influential trading hubs in the world. It trafficked everything, but its main economy was gold, salt, ivory, silks, grain, horses, and books. Timbuktu is located where the Sahara Desert meets the Niger River, which historians called the, quote, "Camel meets canoe crossroads." Its proximity to Africa's elephant-rich interior specifically made it an epicenter for ivory trade. Art, Phil, two questions left. Let's see the scoreboard.

• 36:34Speaker 05

  Oh, there was, shoot, dang it.

• 36:37Speaker 05

  Randall, uh, caused a bit of an anticlimactic game here because he's locked up the victory with eight points. He's three points ahead of the second place players, who are Brody and Nick with five points, and then Yanis, Mark, and Reva are tied up with four.

• 36:52Speaker 06

  Hope I don't blow it at the end.

• 36:53Speaker 04

  See if you can get a perfect game and double the donation to a thousand dollars.

• 36:57Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 36:58Speaker 04

  Question nine, the topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by David Hayes for sending this great question. David is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. This figurative and literal culinary phrase says that you should, quote, "Boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs."

• 37:26Speaker 04

  This figurative and literal culinary phrase says that you should boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs. Randall and Brody, they have their answers. You boys have this one right?

• 37:41Speaker 06

  I think so.

• 37:43Speaker 05

  I also, uh, Spencer sent me a picture of the location of Timbuktu, and so I'm just gonna bring that up.

• 37:48Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, there it is, in case you're wondering where on the globe Timbuktu is located.

• 37:52Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 37:52Speaker 04

  Now you got it. You can see where, uh, the, the desert, uh, comes right up and butts up against the green. That's what made its location for trade so special.

• 38:02Speaker 06

  I wanted to make a joke about the camel canoe crossroads.

• 38:06Speaker 04

  What's the joke?

• 38:07Speaker 06

  Well, it's gonna be something to do with cigarettes, but I haven't gotten there yet.

• 38:10Speaker 04

  Okay, you, you think on that.

• 38:14Speaker 04

  This figurative and literal culinary phrase says that you should boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs.

• 38:22Speaker 05

  Sounds like something Steve would say.

• 38:23Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 38:27Speaker 04

  The, the culinary phrase or the camel thing?

• 38:29Speaker 05

  No, not the camel.

• 38:30Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's, that's, that's too highbrow.

• 38:36Speaker 04

  This figurative and literal culinary phrase says that you should boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs.

• 38:45Speaker 04

  Yanni is hosting next week. Yeah.

• 38:47Speaker 05

  The, the, is the answer what those organs are?

• 38:50Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 38:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 38:54Speaker 04

  Hmm, he's stumped.

• 38:56Speaker 06

  What was your answer?

• 39:00Speaker 06

  Did you have one?

• 39:01Speaker 05

  No. Does this mean there's more? I got so much. No, I'm gonna leave it. Doesn't matter.

• 39:08Speaker 04

  Yanni is hosting next week. Yanni, how you feeling about that episode? You like your questions that you wrote?

• 39:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, Jennifer said they were fun.

• 39:14Speaker 04

  Alright, that's nice.

• 39:17Speaker 04

  Do you have an answer to this one?

• 39:18Speaker 05

  She wouldn't lie.

• 39:18Speaker 06

  I'm excited for that episode.

• 39:20Speaker 05

  Spencer, we were having a debate.

• 39:21Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 39:22Speaker 05

  When I host, if my goal is to have three people get a perfect game for a tiebreaker, would you be mad if I did that?

• 39:29Speaker 04

  No, do that. That'll be fun.

• 39:32Speaker 04

  That's why it's fun to have the guest host, because you guys just, uh, you bring some different flavor than what you get every other week of the year.

• 39:38Speaker 06

  I'm thinking about doing all of my questions about Ace Ventura one and two.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  Okay, I'll study up then.

• 39:46Speaker 05

  Great movie.

• 39:47Speaker 04

  Waiting on Yanni down there.

• 39:48Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah, let's go.

• 39:50Speaker 04

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says kidneys. Mark, kidneys. Yanni, bladder. Reva, liver. Nick, kidneys. Brody, kidneys. The correct answer is kidneys. Urine is made in the kidneys, and that pungent smell can be noticeable when cooking. To prevent this, it's recommended that you trim the kidneys, then soak them in milk overnight, then boil them two to three times for five minutes each. For a classic kidney dish, check out Danielle Pruitt's venison steak and kidney pie recipe on themeateater.com.

• 40:23Speaker 05

  Never eaten them.

• 40:25Speaker 04

  Has anybody? I don't think I have either.

• 40:27Speaker 06

  Yeah, the only, the only memory I have of it is it just tasted like I, I buried my head in urine-soaked straw in a barn. Like, that was the, that was like the number one. It was just like it, it tasted the way that it smells when you walk into a bar where, barn where that changed out the head.

• 40:46Speaker 04

  Did the cook know what they were doing?

• 40:48Speaker 05

  Apparently they did not do that.

• 40:49Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 40:49Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 40:50Speaker 06

  I don't know. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt until now, but it seems like there is a way to get rid of the piss.

• 40:54Speaker 04

  Boil the piss out of them. Alright, here's a correct answer review so far. One was dendrology is the study of trees. Two, bananas. Three, the walking dead. Four, octopus. Five, sturgeon. Six, Glock. Seven, kicker motor. Eight, Africa. Nine, kidneys. Phil, scoreboard update.

• 41:13Speaker 05

  Well, I spoke too soon about being, being anticlimactic, as Randall still has the perfect game going into question 10.

• 41:19Speaker 06

  Oh, I almost wish I'd blown it on the last one.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  The topic is wildlife. This five-letter word is defined as, quote, "The male bee of a honeybee colony whose sole purpose is to mate with the queen." And he seems to have it. Had this answer before I finish the question. You a honeybee boy over there? You gonna start raising those with your chickens?

• 41:42Speaker 06

  No, I hate bees, man. I'll be honest.

• 41:44Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 41:45Speaker 06

  They sting me. I swell up real bad.

• 41:47Speaker 04

  That's why you know your enemy so well. You, you got this one right.

• 41:50Speaker 06

  I hope so.

• 41:51Speaker 04

  This five-letter, I didn't see your answer. I just saw how quickly you wrote.

• 41:56Speaker 06

  Gosh, I think it's right.

• 41:57Speaker 04

  This five-letter word is defined as "The male bee of a honeybee colony whose sole purpose is to mate with the queen."

• 42:05Speaker 05

  I'm fixing to argue about this one.

• 42:07Speaker 04

  Really?

• 42:08Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, just wait.

• 42:11Speaker 05

  Yeah. Let your blood pressure start rising now in anticipation.

• 42:16Speaker 04

  For Yanni's game.

• 42:17Speaker 05

  No.

• 42:18Speaker 06

  Phil.

• 42:19Speaker 05

  For this argument.

• 42:20Speaker 06

  Is this a word that you like?

• 42:22Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 42:24Speaker 05

  I have no idea what you're getting at.

• 42:26Speaker 06

  Oh, no, no. Actually, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, never mind.

• 42:29Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 42:29Speaker 05

  Great.

• 42:30Speaker 06

  I was confusing this term.

• 42:31Speaker 05

  We'll just pretend this didn't happen.

• 42:32Speaker 06

  I was confusing this term with another term.

• 42:33Speaker 04

  Is everybody ready?

• 42:34Speaker 05

  I don't have an answer.

• 42:35Speaker 04

  Let's see if he has the perfect game. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says drone. Mark drone. Yanni without an answer. Riva steer. Nick without an answer. Brody says daddy.

• 42:51Speaker 04

  This episode had UFOs, it had horse semen, and now it has daddy.

• 42:56Speaker 05

  Daddy.

• 42:56Speaker 04

  The correct answer. Argue for it. Is drone Randall got it? He's got the perfect game. I think that's back to back weeks now. We've had 12 big games with Brody last week and Randall this week. The three types of bees in a beehive are queens, workers, and drones. The queen bee lays eggs. Drone bees mate with virgin queens and worker bees focus on hive maintenance, defense, and food gathering. Worker bees choose queens when that female is just a couple of days old in larva form. When a queen is selected, it is fed a special diet of royal jelly that triggers the development of reproductive organs. Royal jelly. That's what the bee people call it. You're gonna be a bee man yet.

• 43:40Speaker 06

  To explain my thinking there.

• 43:42Speaker 04

  Yes, please.

• 43:42Speaker 06

  I had, for whatever reason in my mind, I had conflated the term droid with drone. I was thinking of C3PO and R2D2.

• 43:51Speaker 05

  C3PO, the most annoying and insufferable.

• 43:53Speaker 04

  It still would have been weird, though.

• 43:54Speaker 06

  Yeah, it would have been weird. I know.

• 43:56Speaker 04

  Phil loves the word droid.

• 43:56Speaker 06

  I know.

• 43:58Speaker 04

  All right, Randall did it. He got double-digit correct answers, the perfect game. What are you gonna do with that $1,000 donation?

• 44:04Speaker 06

  Donate this to the North American Pronghorn Foundation.

• 44:07Speaker 04

  Okay, I think that's a first for us.

• 44:10Speaker 06

  I think it's a new one.

• 44:11Speaker 04

  A new organization as well. So $1,000 will go a long ways there.

• 44:14Speaker 06

  Yeah, they were founded, I think, only in the last two years, maybe.

• 44:19Speaker 04

  We interviewed him on Meat Eater Radio Live.

• 44:20Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Uh, and it's pronghorn season coming up here in Montana. So, you know, get my juju, get my, what do you call that?

• 44:32Speaker 05

  Karma?

• 44:33Speaker 06

  Karma. Yeah, get my karma going.

• 44:35Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 44:35Speaker 06

  Before Saturday.

• 44:36Speaker 04

  Then you can go kill one.

• 44:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 44:38Speaker 04

  All right, reminder again, our next five episodes, we've got guest hosts. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Please tune in. Join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 44:47Speaker 06

  Someone once said, "Everybody's got a plan till they get punched in the mouth."

• 46:01Speaker 05

  I did. Mike Tyson.

• 46:02Speaker 07

  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.

• 46:10Speaker 05

  That's a low blow.

• 46:11Speaker 07

  Totally. But you can do something about it.

• 46:14Speaker 05

  You have to punch back.

• 46:16Speaker 07

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

• 46:21Speaker 05

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

• 46:27Speaker 01

  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.
