  Speaker 1: Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: conservation always wins. There is a prize. Meat Eater will
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: donate $ 500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis, Brody, Randall, Mark, Reva,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and Nick Glenn. This is a 10-round quiz show with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and cooking.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Can I ask a question?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You used to give Randall top billing.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Did I?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like I change it up a lot. Do you?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I think I do.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like Randall had top billing.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And then- But then sometimes I'm like, I think I'm overcorrecting.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I had Randall as the first name
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a lot recently. So now he's bumped down to like
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: fourth billing.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you've always done it by seniority. Because
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: I was actually, when you gave me my list of
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: guests for my show later today, I tried to rank
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: them by who's been here the longest. And I always
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: thought that's why my name came first.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: No, it's because you're the headliner, Yanni. Because you're famous, man. Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Not because I'm employee number one.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Is that your employee number?
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Either Steve or myself.

  Speaker 1: Strengths and weaknesses when it comes to meat eater trivia
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: hunting fishing conservation cooking what do you think.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Well i am a first generation hunter if you that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: what it's called i don't really know um so still
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: figuring it all out uh hunting wise but very confident
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: fishing freshwater mostly saltwater but Fishing forward.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Nick yelled across the hallway this morning from his office
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to my office that he got his driver's license yesterday.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So now he's going to own a deer tag in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Montana this year.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's all happening. Look out deer now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Seriously, congratulations. You got your driver's license or you got
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: your driver's license back? Got a driver's license.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: In the state of Montana.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: In Montana.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: In Montana. I thought you just didn't know how to drive. Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Figured it out.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We're starting today with a mailbag question. If you have
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a question you want the trivia crew to answer, then
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: send your question with the subject line mailbag to trivia
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: at themeadeater.com. This is from Steven in Minnesota. When going
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: out to hunt public land, I was wondering if the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: crew had any odd, peculiar things that they take into consideration.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: For example... I hunt a lot of public lands in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Western Wisconsin. One factor I consider is whether the Packers
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: are playing that day. Bonus if it's against a division
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: opponent or primetime game. Another is that this small Minnesota
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: town I hunt by has a weekly community event and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I try to hunt whenever this is going on. My
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: assumption is that potential hunters will be busy tending to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: these things, watching the Packers or going to this community event.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if these factors really matter though, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's working so far. All right, what do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we think for Steven?
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: I think that's smart, what he's doing and what he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: thinking about. I mean, I always just look at shitty weather. Like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: I like the shitty weather days because most other people don't.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Or like the good bad weather where it's like November
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: 10 and it's 70 degrees and everyone's like, oh, you can't,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, the deer aren't moving now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Good point.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So the good bad weather, same thing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Cat Grizz game in Montana. It's a good one.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: It's also good because you can. Stop by local bars
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: like mid-afternoon and they might have a full spread set out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: If you're able to, holidays are good too. Thanksgiving, Christmas,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: New Year's Day is an excellent time.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's been some studies done by Auburn University, Dr.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Stephen Ditchcoff. He talked about this in other podcasts before,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but that Thursdays, are the best days of the week
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on public land. That's when deer movement is the most normal.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, they get pounded. Monday, Tuesday, they're recovering. Wednesday,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it's like creeping back to normal. And then Thursday is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like the most normal that it gets out there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Not anymore.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we've now ruined it. I think, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this is like the fifth podcast that that's been set on,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: but it's just, you know, good advice in general. Thursdays
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are when the studies show that deer are on their
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: feet the most. Anything else for Steven in Minnesota? All right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Good luck, Steven.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Before housekeeping today, Randall is going to give us a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: live tour update. Randall, what's happening with the live tour?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's canceled?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: No, it's actually on. It's on.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think Fargo has any tickets left.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I got to go back. My phone's in airplane mode.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I checked on who was playing Monday Night Football and
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it screwed everything up. Okay. So live tour, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: December 14th. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the 15th. Madison, Wisconsin. I don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: need to say the date every time. The following day,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Des Moines, Iowa. Minneapolis, Minnesota. And Fargo, North Dakota.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Who are you most excited for? Pick one. Don't be like, oh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they're all fun. I love everybody.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm very excited for Milwaukee and Madison. Oh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: me too. I just think, good. That's our people. Okay.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're all our people. But Milwaukee, I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: just Wisconsin. Wisconsinites. are a different breed, I feel like.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of love in the house for Wisconsinites.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yanni, which stop are you most excited for?
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, Grand Rapids will be good because that's hometown
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: pretty much, 45 minutes from where I grew up, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: so we'll have a warm welcome there. Yeah, I don't know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Spencer. They're all going to be great fun.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Bill has been scouting tiki locations already.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's why Milwaukee is the site I'm looking
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: forward to. There's a bar there called Foundation that I
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: have not visited yet.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: There's also a sausage place I have recs for.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Everyone's invited. Everyone in the crowd, you're invited too.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Is it you, Singers?
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I have to check my DMs.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: No, I don't want to do that. I feel like
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: that's boring. TheMeatEater.com slash events. Go on there to find
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: your tickets. Don't go to these weird reselling sites where
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: they jack up the prices. I've seen in the comments
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: on all of our social media, I've seen some people
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: saying they got charged X amount, they got charged Y amount.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Go directly to the website. They'll take you to the venue. Whatever, whatever.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Follow trusted websites when buying tickets. Okay. That's all I'll say.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Randall's the secondary market, actually.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Was that sufficiently? You did it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You did it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Good, good, good.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Now we have some real housekeeping. On a previous episode
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of Trivia, I had a question about the 10-letter word
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for the small tool used by hunters to track air currents.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: The correct answer was windicator, but a few listeners wrote
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in to say that there is another correct answer, which
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is an anemometer. Anemometer is defined as, quote, an instrument
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: used to measure wind speed, force, and airflow, and it
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: is 10 letters. So those listeners are right. If you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: said anemometer, give yourself a point.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: I had a follow-up to that that I forgot about.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: The other windicator we used in Austria? Bubbles. No way.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Like little kids' bubbles. What? That's cute.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Up in the stand, take out the little thing of bubbles.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: And then you can see.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You can watch that thing glide.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: As they drift away, you can see if the wind's
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: turning or swirling or whatever.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That's a hot tip.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you like put some food coloring in there,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: if you'd like see it even further.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And it's so delightful.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: It's just fun. It adds like a little childish glee.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: But it would only work in habitat where there's like
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: very little trees, brush or whatever, because.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: But that's with any wind decatur.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Milkweed.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Get hung up on stuff.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Okay. Okay, don't blow bubbles in the woods, Yanni. Have
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: it your way.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: No, I'm just like, it just seems like they would
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: very quickly pop.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: You're covering an area. You just got to blow a lot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Do they have a hunt specific vessel for these?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: There's a marketing, a real product opportunity.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I'm a little surprised that it's not like a whitetail thing.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I could just see Mark up in a saddle.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man. Nick, for our next April Fool's skit for
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: our social media.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: You know how they make the little wand that has
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: different shapes?
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You make a little shape of a buck and you
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: blow through.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That's a windicator with a lot of whimsy.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Writing that down.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The Shelby Index for today is a four, so our
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Look, I need to know what I stand to win
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: to everything. Just tend to win everything.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is biology. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: first great question is via Justin Andrews, and as always,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it will be multiple choice. Dendrology is the study of blank.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Is it fungi, snakes, trees, or insects? Dendrology, D-E-N-D-R-O-L-O-G-Y, is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the study of, is it fungi, snakes? trees, or insects?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And Justin Andrews, he sent me this question all the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: way back in 2022. So for the listeners who are
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: worried that they haven't heard their question yet, just know
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it's never too late. You could send one today and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in 2030 on a show, I'm going to read that question.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Dendrology is the study of, Blank.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Are you going to be doing this in 2030?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Fungi, snakes, trees, insects.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll be in walkers and canes and stuff.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Randall, I don't think he even needed the choices on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: this one. Brody, do you know this one?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, you know this one. Maybe.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I've got it narrowed down to two if you're wondering, Spencer.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I was wondering.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: At least I'm very calm.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Dendrology is the study of fungi, snakes, trees, or insects.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I probably got it wrong. If I didn't have the choices,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I would have said something else.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, the choices help us. Everybody ready?
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I would have been in the neighborhood.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says trees. Mark, fungi. Yanni, snakes. Reva, fungi. Nick, insects. Brody, trees.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Every one of the answers was represented. The correct answer
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is trees. Brody and Randall got that one right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Ice process of elimination.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Mycology is the study of fungi. Serpentology is the study
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of snakes. Entomology is the study of insects. And dendrology
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is the study of trees, shrubs, and other woody plants.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The term comes from the Greek word dendron, which means tree.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I would have said herpetology for snakes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I think that's a broader term.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Serpentology is sweet.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Question two, the topic is fishing. Superstitious anglers going back
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to the 1700s have said that it's bad luck to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: bring this fruit onto a boat.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We've never had this.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Never done this one.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: That was amazing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I did something similar many years ago. I could tell
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you about it after this question, but I don't want
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to give.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: You any hints.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Do you guys all respect this rule?
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: No.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I used to mess with my clients when they.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's more like for funny banter. Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Captain Randall, you didn't have any strict rules about this.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Like if your clients really sucked, that's why.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: No, it actually, I think, I think I learned about
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: this because I brought this on a boat.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Bad captain.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But then it didn't bother me. because i didn't
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: believe in.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It okay superstitious anglers going back to the 1700s have
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: said that it's bad luck to bring this fruit onto
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a boat but i got razzed is everybody ready.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised it goes back that far though there's a
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: reason after this oh.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Geez go ahead and reveal your answers we have the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: whole room saying banana the whole room got it right
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the correct answer is bananas This nautical superstition has been
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: shared by boaters across the globe for hundreds of years,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and it's not totally unfounded. Bananas release gas as they ripen,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and on old wooden ships, this could cause other food
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to rot quickly. And because of their shortened lifetime, it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: said that boats carrying them would try to sail faster,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: which made for riskier trips. So maybe it wasn't a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: total coincidence when boats with bananas seemed to have more
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bad luck.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I got another reason that I heard. Hmm. When they
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: would come across floating, like, whatever you called, they'd be like,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the ship sunk. Bananas are floating.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Bananas would make it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bananas do make other things stink. I remember very
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: vividly on a camping trip as a kid having a
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: box of Captain Crunch ruined by banana stink.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. I didn't know it was that powerful.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: You know, like, if you have bananas in a cooler
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: with something and the bananas start to turn and everything
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: just tastes like bananas?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Did this to Captain Crunch.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: The question that I had that was similar to this
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: many years ago was something about this underwear brand is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not allowed on some boats because of their logo. It
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: was Fruit of the Loom.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Captain Crunch's real name is Horatio Magellan Crunch.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: I just wanted you to know that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Incredible fun fact.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Question three. The topic is hunting. This next great question
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: is via Daxton Clatworthy. Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: hunting in a 2011 episode of this post-apocalyptic show. Randall
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and Brody. I think they have the perfect game. Still going.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They have their answer for number three. Otis accidentally shoots
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011 episode of this
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: post-apocalyptic show. Nick Glenn, do you have this one right?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I believe so.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Have you seen this show?
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I believe so.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You think you've seen this show?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: If it's right, then yes. I have no idea if
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: mine's right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Reva, do you have this one right?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting in a 2011
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: episode of this post-apocalyptic show. Randall's uncapping his marker, thinking
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: about picking up his whiteboard.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I just thought of another post-apocalyptic show.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, geez. Phil, can you give us a review of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: this show after the answer is revealed? Do you have
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: an opinion on it?
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: I mean, I can give an opinion without spoiling anything,
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: which is that I watched the first two seasons and
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: checked out.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Knowing what we know about Phil, is that a clue
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: of somewhere?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: If it is and hasn't helped Yanni.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: It didn't have.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Enough nudity in it, so Phil was out.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Crass language and nudity.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Yanni, can you name any post-apocalyptic shows? Picking up his whiteboard.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Otis accidentally shoots Carl while whitetail hunting. in a 2011
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: episode of this post-apocalyptic show? Great question here from Daxton.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I have another one, but I think it's too recent.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: This is a doozy.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, jeez.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yanni, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Randall says Walking Dead. Mark, The Walking Dead. Yanni? Dead
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Men Walking. That's the Sean Penn film, isn't it? The
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Great Value brand.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Or no.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Reva says Metalocalypse. Metalocalypse.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Oh, good answer.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Nick, Walking Dead. Brody, The Walking Dead. The correct answer
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is The Walking Dead. The accident happens in the season
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: two premiere of the show. Twelve-year-old Carl is walking through
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the forest when he comes upon a giant velvet buck.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He amazingly sneaks to within just a couple yards of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the deer and When a shot rings out, the bullet
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: rips through the buck's chest before hitting Carl in the abdomen.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: The whitetail dies, but Carl survives thanks to emergency treatment
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: from a veterinarian. Question four, the topic is wildlife. A
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: animal is actually an alien that arrived here on a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: comet in egg form 270 million years ago. A 2018
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: study in a biophysics journal theorized that this seven-letter animal
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: is actually an alien that arrived here on a comet
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in egg form 270 million years ago. Randall and Brody
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: are playing hangman and they've done some erasing. That animal
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: didn't have seven letters, huh?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: No, it had eight. It would have been a good one, too.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I think we should be right.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: A 2018 study in a biophysics journal theorized that this
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: seven-letter animal is actually an alien that arrived here on
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a comet in egg form 270 million years ago. Nick
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is the only player who likes his answer.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: He's grinning.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: He's nodding. You got seven-letter animal over there that you
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: think could be an alien.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: It's a seven-letter animal, that's for sure. That's why I
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: keep checking my board to make sure.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: That I spelled it right. Any hints?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I've told you everything you need to know. Riva, do
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you have this one right?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I feel fairly confident.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Okay. Wow.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: But I don't know.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Riva and Nick are other four players, though. Don't have it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: A 2018 study in a biophysics journal.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: This is like a legit study.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Peer-reviewed. I'll tell you about it in the flavor text.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: A 2018 study.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: In a biophysics journal, theorized that this seven-letter animal is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: actually an alien that arrived here on a comet in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: egg form 270 million years ago.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: How'd you find this question?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I've been vaguely aware of this study for a while,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and I finally just made it into some content. I'm
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: surprised more people don't have guesses. Yeah, good for you, Reva.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Get them.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: This is question four.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It's going to be us on the rest of the questions, though.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Yanni hasn't done any writing yet. You just throwing the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: white flag.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: On this one, Yanni?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know a lot of seven-lettered animals, but
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: not ones that would be, considered aliens, I don't think.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of weird noises from the crew today. Not
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: even Nick. They got this one. You guys should show
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: each other your whiteboard. Oh, and do you agree? Okay,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that's fun.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: This is amazing. Two that are so confident in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: rest of us.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: They know they're UFOs. Randall, do you have a seven-letter animal?
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: I have a seven-letter animal.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: And I don't like it. I think it's an okay answer.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: I just don't like the animal.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yanni, Mark, are you ready? I got nothing. Sure. Go
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying octopus.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Mark and Yanni without an answer. Reva and Nick say octopus.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Brody says penguin.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Platypus. That was my first answer.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is octopus. Half of our players got
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: that one right.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: This is known as the panspermia theory, which says that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: life exists around the universe and is distributed by space debris.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The hypothesis was first suggested by a Greek philosopher who
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: believed meteors contained cosmic seeds that bounced around between planets.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: The 2018 peer-reviewed study specifically called out the octopus as
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: being a potential alien. They argued that frozen octopus eggs
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: attached to a comet might explain the mysterious creature, but
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: mainstream scientists were very critical of the paper, saying it
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: lacks any basic evidence.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Could be 270 million years ago, though a comet with
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: frozen octopus eggs hit the ocean, and that's where we're
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: at today.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I guess we'll never know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Question five. The topic is conservation. This next great question
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is via Brian Clement. The pallid blank, which is considered
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: one of the most endangered fish in North America, was
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: added to the endangered species list in 1990. Brody, Randall, Mark, Yanni.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: They all got it. But our UFO experts, Nick and Reva,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: do not. The pallid blank, which is considered one of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the most endangered fish in North America, was added to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the endangered species list in 1990. The pallid blank. This
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the engineer, after this. By the way, next month, our
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: next five episodes, we have guest host month. All your
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: favorite Meteor trivia players are going to be in the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: driver's seat. Yanni is up first, but we got an
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: episode from Brody, from Randall, from Mark, from Nate. It's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot of fun.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: I wasn't asked to return.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Why is that? Oh, you can host mine if you want.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, you hosted one, Phil?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I've hosted two.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I've said I've missed both of those.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Phil, I would love for you to host. I'm on
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the 12th.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: You can have that.
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: I think I might be busy that time.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Was the D & D thing for trivia or something else?
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: That was for trivia. That was just a fun surprise
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: that everyone enjoyed.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Right? I think I won, but I still have trauma.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: One of my greatest regrets in life is missing that day.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: That was bad. Bad for Randall.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Great from Phil.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: The pallid blank, which is considered one of the most
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: endangered fish in North America, was added to the endangered
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: species list in 1990. Go ahead and reveal your answers.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: We have Randall and Mark and Yanni. The whole room
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: says sturgeon. The whole room got it right. It's the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: pallid sturgeon. Pallid sturgeon are native to the Missouri and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Mississippi River watersheds. They grow up to six feet long
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and 80 pounds. Their populations have cratered in the last
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: 100 years due to dam construction and habitat loss. It's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: estimated that the upper stretch of their native range, there
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: are fewer than 50 adult fish remaining. There is me
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: with a pallet surgeon.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Sick haircut.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That had been like circa, I don't know, 2014.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: It's like the same haircut the kids are wearing now.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: God, I was doing it first.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I was reading about one of those suckers that took
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a left out of the Yellowstone in eastern Montana and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: went like 150 miles up the Powder River. Which if
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you've seen the Powder River, it's like, how did he
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: get that far?
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I like your glasses too.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: It's like you're playing second base.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Those are my river working days.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Get them on the reds.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Phil, we're halfway through today's game. Give us
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a scoreboard update.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: My mouse will work.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: We do have a perfect game on the board.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Randall's got five points. Nick and Brody are a point
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: behind him.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: No, Randall got one wrong.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Uh-uh. No, I got them all right.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: I tried.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I tried.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Nick and Brody have four. Mark Kenyon has... Oh, wait.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: Mark and Reva have three. Giannis Patelis is in last
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: place with two points.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Are you sure?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Only two?
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: Two measly points. I'm 99% sure.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I did that once. Don't worry about it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yanni got bananas and he got pallet sturgeon.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Phil, aren't you going to rub it in that you
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: never get it wrong?
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: Giannis, I'm always right. Don't question me.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Question six. The topic is gear. This next great question
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: is via Andrew Heatherwick. This Austrian gun maker who is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: best known for their pistols announced in 2024 that they'd
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: no longer be selling horse semen. This seems right in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: your lane, Randall.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: My gosh, Randall, if you don't know this.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: This Austrian gun maker, who is best known for their pistols,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Best known for their pistols. Best known for their pistols.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: This Austrian gun maker, who is best known for their pistols,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling horse semen. Randall,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: do you have this one right?
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: How many Austrian gun makers can you.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Name, you think? I mean, I have two down right now.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: The horse semen is what's throwing me off. I don't
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: think I've ever purchased horse semen from an Austrian gun maker.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He thinks. You're more of a German horse semen guy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Now the Swiss tell you what.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they also sell guns with which to
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: implant the horse semen.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: This Austrian gun maker who is best known for their
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: pistols announced in 2024 that they'd no longer be selling
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: horse semen.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: What I want to know is what kind of rabbit
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: hole led you to this? Were you Googling pistols or semen?
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: The rabbit hole was Andrew Heatherwick sending me this great question. Okay,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Andrew did it. Well, same question to him.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I just, yeah. I feel like if it's not what
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I think it is, it's too esoteric for most of
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: the room.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: But I don't know.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Do our other players give up? Go ahead and reveal
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: your answers. Randall says Glock, Mark, Taurus, Yanni, Colt, Reva,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Nick without an answer, Brody, H, and K. The correct
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: answer is Glock. Randall. Oh, my God. I'm not sure.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Glock, which started selling guns in 1982, created
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a branch of their business dedicated to horses in 2010.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: The Glock Horse Performance Center was a high-profile training and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: breeding operation that became one of the powerhouses of dressage.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But after Glock's founder died in 2023, the family announced
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that they'd be shuttering the equine side of their business.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I figured that... Yeah, the date lined up with
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: the family... What not.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: They had a good run as the premier dressage.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: They have a big facility in Furlock. Glock does. Yes.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they used to, but I think it's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: like since their announcement, they've been moving away from it.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And they said by 2026, all will be out of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Glock name.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Not the semen. The guns.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: The guns.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. No, the guns.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Question seven. The topic is fishing.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: This six letter word is defined as, quote, a small,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: low powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: next to the primary engine. Randall and Brody, they got it. Yanni,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: he thinks he has it. This six letter word is
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: defined as a small, low powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: on a boat's transom next to the primary engine.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I got one of these I need to sell.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Has your bear rug sold yet?
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Yep. Oh, it did.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Did you sell it through the store? How'd you do it?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Did you have to come down off of your original ask?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, there's always some haggling involved.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: All right. Now you can find Brody's this thing at
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the store next.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You should put it. In the window.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: This six-letter word is defined as, quote, a small, low-powered
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a boat's transom next to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the primary engine. Randall switched up his seat today because
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the other one's been bad luck.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: It has.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And now Yanni, who's in last place, is in the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: bad luck seat.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if I shared this on On
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: the air, but I had someone the other day greet
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: me and said, you used to be so good at trivia. Oh, no.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: That's mean. I figured desperate times.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Are you done with stats of the week?
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I think I'm done with stats.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Really? Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: We've seen all the stats by now. I'd rather answer
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the listener questions that they have. Six-letter word is defined
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: as a small, low-powered auxiliary outboard engine mounted on a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: boat's transom next to the primary engine. Is everybody ready?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says, kicker. Mark
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: without an answer. Yanni, kicker. Reva and Nick without an answer. Brody, kicker.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is kicker.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Nick, I understand it's your first time, but you came
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: in here hard on the fishing thing. Hey, I'm on boats, saltwater.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: We don't really call them kickers.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: What do you call them?
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It's just like a trolling motor or like the outboard motor.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I was just trying to think if something was six
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: and nothing came.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Kicker motors range from five horsepower to 25 horsepower with
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: 9.9 being the most popular choice. By not going above
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: 10 horsepower, the engine skirts rules regarding registration and horsepower limits.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: The purpose of a kicker is to give anglers low
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: speed control of the boat while also having a reliable
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: emergency backup motor. What horsepower is yours, Brody?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: 9.9? 0.5?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: We're on to question eight. The topic is conservation. Timbuktu,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: which is a real city on this continent, was a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Am I spelling right?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries. Randall,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: do you just know this one? Or are you taking
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a guess?
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: I knew this. I also feel like there's Only a
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: few to choose from. And there's some sufficient context in
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: the question.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That's a man who's confident in his position on the scoreboard.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Just handing out all those hints.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Is it a hint?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, the continents, yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I can't catch them anyway. I'm leaving my answer the
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: way it is.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Timbuktu, which is a real city on this continent, was
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a hub for the global ivory trade for three centuries. Mark,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you know this one? Eh, just a guess.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I bet it's a good one.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. Is
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Africa. Mark, Africa. Yanni, Africa. Reva, Africa.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Nick, Africa.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Brody, Asia. The correct answer is Africa. The room did well.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Africa.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: From the 13th to 16th century, Timbuktu was one of
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the wealthiest and most influential trading hubs in the world.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It trafficked everything, but its main economy was gold, salt, ivory, silks, grain, horses,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and books. Timbuktu is located where the Sahara Desert meets
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the Niger River, which historians called the, quote, camel meets
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: canoe crossroads. Its proximity to Africa's elephant-rich interior specifically made
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: it an epicenter for ivory trade. Artville, two questions left.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Let's see the scoreboard. Oh, there was two. Dang it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Randall caused a bit of an anticlimactic game here because
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: he's locked up the victory.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: With eight points.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: He's three points ahead of the second-place players, who are
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Brody and Nick with five points, and then Giannis, Mark,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: and Riva.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Tight up with four. I hope I don't blow it
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: at the end.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: See if you can get a perfect game and double
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the donation to $ 1, 000. That's what I mean. Question nine.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: The topic is cooking. This is our listener question of
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the week, which was won by David Hayes for sending
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: this great question. David is going to get a $ 150
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: First Light gift card. If you want a chance to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: win the listener question of the week, then send your
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: question to trivia at themeateater.com. This figurative and literal culinary
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: phrase says that you should, quote, boil the piss out
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of blank. when cooking these organs. This figurative and literal
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: culinary phrase says that you should boil the piss out
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of blank when cooking these organs. Randall and Brody, they
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: have their answers. You boys have this one, right?
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: Spencer sent me a picture of the location of Timbuktu,
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: and so I'm just going to bring that up.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there it is. In case you're wondering, we're
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: on the globe. Timbuktu is located. Now you got it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: You can see where the desert comes right up and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: butts up against the green. That's what made its location
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: for trade so special.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I wanted to make a joke about the camel canoe crossroads.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: What's the joke?
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it's going to be something to do with cigarettes, but.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten there yet. Okay, you think on that.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: This figurative and literal culinary phrase. Says that you should
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Sounds like something Steve would say.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: The culinary phrase or the camel thing?
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: No, not the camel thing. Yeah, that's too highbrow.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: This figurative and literal culinary phrase says that you should
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: boil the piss out of blank when cooking these organs.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yanni is hosting next week.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Is the answer what those organs are?
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Hmm. He's stumped.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: What was your answer? Did you have one?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Does this mean there's more?
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: I got so many.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: No, I'm going to leave it. Doesn't matter.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Yanni is hosting next week. Yanni, how are you feeling
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: about that episode? You like your questions that you wrote?
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jennifer said they were fun.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: All right. That's nice. Do you have an answer to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: this one?
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: She wouldn't lie.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for that episode.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Spencer, we were having a debate. When I host, if
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: my goal is to have three people get a perfect
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: game for a tiebreaker, would you be mad if I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: did that?
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: No, do that.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: That would be fun. That's why it's fun to have
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the guest host, because you guys just bring some different
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: flavor than what you get every other week of the year.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about doing all of my questions about Ace
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Ventura 1 and 2. Okay.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'll study up then.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Great movie.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Waiting on Yanni down there.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, let's go.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says kidneys. Mark, kidneys,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yanni bladder, Reva liver, Nick kidneys, Brody kidneys. The correct
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: answer is kidneys. Urine is made in the kidneys, and
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: that pungent smell can be noticeable when cooking. To prevent this,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it's recommended that you trim the kidneys, then soak them
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in milk overnight, then boil them two to three times
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: for five minutes each. For a classic kidney dish, check
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: out Daniel Pruitt's venison steak and kidney pie recipe on TheMeatEater.com.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Never eaten them.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Has anybody? I don't think I have either.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the only memory I have of it is it
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: just tasted like I buried my head in urine-soaked straw
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: in a barn. That was the number one. It was
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: just like it tasted the way that It smells when
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: you walk into a barn where they haven't changed out
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: the head.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Did the cook know what they were doing? Apparently they
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: did not do that. I don't know.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Okay. I don't know. I was giving him the benefit
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: of the doubt until now, but it seems like there
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: is a way to get rid of the piss.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Boil the piss out of him. All right, here's the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: correct answer review so far. One was dendrology is the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: study of trees. Two, bananas. Three, the walking dead. Four, octopus. Five, sturgeon. Six, glock. Seven,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: kicker motor. Eight... Africa, nine kidneys. Phil, scoreboard update.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: Well, I spoke too soon about it being anticlimactic because
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: Randall still has the perfect game going into question 10.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: I almost wish I'd blown it on the last one.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: The topic is wildlife. This five-letter word is defined as, quote,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: the male bee of a honeybee colony whose sole purpose
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is to mate with the queen. And he seems to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: have it. Had this answer before I finished the question.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: You a honeybee boy over there? You gonna start raising
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: those with your chickens?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: No, I hate bees, man. I'll be honest. Okay. They
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: sting me. I swell up real bad.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: That's why you know your enemy so well. You got
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: this one right.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I hope so.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Did I get it right? I didn't see your answer.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I just saw how quickly you wrote. Gosh, I think
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: it's right. This five-letter word is defined as the male
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: bee of a honeybee colony whose sole purpose is to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: mate with the queen.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I'm fixing to argue about this one.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Really? Oh, yeah.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Just wait.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Let your blood pressure start rising now in anticipation.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: For Yanni's game.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: No.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Phil. No.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: For this argument.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Is this a word that you like? Oh.
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: I have no idea what you're getting at.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, no. Actually, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, never mind.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: I was confusing this term. We'll just pretend this didn't happen.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: I was confusing this term with another term.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: I don't have an answer.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Let's see if he has the perfect game. Go ahead
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and reveal your answers. Randall says drone. Mark, drone. Yanni
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: without an answer. Reva, steer. Nick without an answer. Brody
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: says daddy. This episode had UFOs, it had horse semen,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and now it has daddy. Daddy.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Tell me I'm wrong.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: The correct answer.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Argue for it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Is drone. Randall got it. He's got the perfect game.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I think that's back-to-back weeks now.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: We've had perfect games. We had Brody.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Last week and Randall this week. The three types of
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: bees in a beehive are queens, workers, and drones. The
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: queen bee lays eggs. Drone bees mate with virgin queens.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and worker bees focus on hive maintenance, defense, and food gathering.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Worker bees choose queens when that female is just a
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: couple days old in larva form. When a queen is selected,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it is fed a special diet of royal jelly that
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: triggers the development of reproductive organs. The royal jelly. That's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: what the bee people call it. You're going to be
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: a bee man yet.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: To explain my thinking there, I had, for whatever reason
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: in my mind, I had conflated the term droid with drone.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of C-3PO and R2-D2.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: C-3PO, the most annoying and insufferable killer.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It still would have been weird, though.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it would have been weird.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Phil loves the word.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Randall did it. He got double-digit correct answers.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: The perfect game. What are you going to do with
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: that $ 1, 000 donation?
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Let's donate this to the North American Pronghorn Foundation.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think that's a first for us.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's a new one.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: A new organization as well. It is. So $ 1, 000 will
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: go a long ways there.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were founded... I think only in the last two.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Years, maybe we interviewed him on media to radio live.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah. I've forgotten about that. Uh, and it's pronghorn
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: season coming up here in Montana. So, you know, get my,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: get my juju, get my, uh, what do you call that? Karma. Karma.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Get my karma going.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: For Saturday.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Then you can go kill one. Yeah. All right. A
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: reminder again, our next five episodes, we've got guest hosts.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a lot of fun.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Please tune in.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: only game show where conservation always wins.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Spencer.
