  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.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Brody, Randall, Seth, Laura, Corey, Nate,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and Logan. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: from Meadeater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Meadeater Trivia is brought to you by one of my
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: favorite beers, Bush Light. Bush Light, head for the mountains.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: All right, we are starting today's episode with a mailbag question.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: If you have a question you want the crew to answer,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: then send your question with the subject line mailbag to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: trivia at themeadeater.com. This is probably the toughest one we've
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gotten so far.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: It's not tough.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let me tell you about it, audience.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think it is.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: This is from Josh in Illinois. My mother, who is
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: in poor health, recently moved into my wife and I's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: place that is really only big enough for the two
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of us. Hunting season here in Illinois is right around
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the corner. I've been picking it back up here in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: my mid-20s after around a decade of not having the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: ability to do it much. My mother is staunchly against hunting.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: She can't stand the idea of killing, quote, innocent animals
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for anything other than pure last resort survival purposes. In fact,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: years ago, I came home with a squirrel I had killed,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and she didn't talk to me for a week. All
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that to say, while I am prepared to debate the topic,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and obviously I am right, she's not in good health,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and I'd rather not rock the boat at such a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: sensitive time. How would you approach either talking to her
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: about the topic or... sneaking out before the sun several
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: days a week this fall.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Send her to a vegan nursing home.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Okay. My house, my rules. Okay.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'd encourage you to ask your wife how she feels,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: because if it's two-on-one, tough odds, but if you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Two are together, then I think it's fine.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: So he's in his mid-20s.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He says mid-20s. This is his mom.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: To be clear.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: But did he grow up with her when they hunted?
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Did his dad hunt?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: He says he's been out of the game for a decade.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I assume this isn't like a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: household thing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I would ask her if she eats
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: meat and then kind of like bring up the ethical
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: question there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't get into debates with my mother who's in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: ill health. I agree. I would either make it invisible
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to her or I would take a season off. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: your mother. Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think the right answer here is to lie.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Brody, it's your mother.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The right answers to lie.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: My mom ate game meat. She didn't have a problem
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: You just tell her you're really low on money and
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: that this actually is a survival situation.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: She might write you a check as well. It's a win-win.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I just watch every single crime movie you can find
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: where someone hides evidence of violence. You know, like I'd
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: buy a lot of drop cloths for the garage.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Bleach.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I just become very clinical in my cleanup.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, if she sleeps late, maybe you
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go out for an early hunt. If she goes to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bed early, maybe you hunt the evening.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: It could be like a fun little game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Like, what can I hide from mom?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite games of my life.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: She's really bad at it, but nonetheless.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I think you just gotta lie to mom. She doesn't
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: know where you're going. You kill a deer, maybe there's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a buddy's house you can hang it in his garage
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to take care of it. I understand, though, you don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: want to make your mom sad in the last months
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of her life. Assuming that's what's going on here.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You don't want to get into arguments around the dinner
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: table with your mother and.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Ill health while eating a deer.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Let's keep, let's keep the things in perspective.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And everybody, she's eating dinner.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Everybody remembers the quiet thrill of flushing a few cigarette
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: butts down the toilet when they were 15, you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Know, Josh must be the golden child. If mom is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: living with him. Um, so I think he can kind
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of guilt free hunting. Um, Sorry about that, Josh.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That's a tough one. That's a heavy question. Heavy one
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to begin with.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: All right, some housekeeping. In a previous episode, I had
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a question about the homophone that is organic material and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: soil and a Middle Eastern dip. The correct answer was hummus,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: which is spelled with one M or two. But as
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about a dozen listeners pointed out, and Randall, I was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: wrong in calling it a homophone. Apparently the two M
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: dip is pronounced hummus and the one M soil is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: pronounced hummus. Humus, similar to how you pronounce human. My bad,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but the whole room got it right, so it won't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: affect the outcome of the game. Giannis was still the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: big winner. Randall, you would have caught on to that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: if you would have been in the room for that episode,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I take it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Humus.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Humus.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Damn it. Sounded like an idiot. Also, an announcement. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: will be coming to the Minnesota Meat Eater Store on
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: October 22nd for Meat Eater Trivia. The event will run
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: from 6 to 8 p.m., The grand prize is a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 gift card to the Minnesota meat eater store. Teams
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of up to four can compete, but solo players are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: also welcome. Spots are limited and you need to sign up.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: When we did this at the Milwaukee store, we were
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: sold out in less than 48 hours. So act fast.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It costs $ 10 per person. And at the end of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the game, all of that money will be donated to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a conservation organization of the winner's choosing. If you want
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to play, go to TheMeatEater.com slash events to register. That
• 5:36

• 5:40
  Speaker 3: When are we going to do a team trivia?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: When are we going to win $ 1, 000 gift cards?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing I thought of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea, Brody. We've only done teams when
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it's like ganging up on Randall or ganging up on Brody.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We could introduce some teams. We all love those games.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We do love those.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The Shelby Index for today is a five, so I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: putting us on perfect score alert. And with that, we're
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I need to know what I stand to win to everything.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: How's that?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: You stand to win everything.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is hunting. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as always, this will be multiple choice. When did California
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: ban mountain lion hunting? Was it 1980, 1990, 2000, or 2010?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: When did California ban mountain lion hunting? 1980, 1990, 2000,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or 2010? Randall, without choices, how close do you think
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you would have gotten? You were picking up your board
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: pretty fast. I thought you just knew this one.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: No. No, I didn't. Okay. I could have gotten... I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: still not sure of my answer.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Just an educated guess. When did California ban mountain lion hunting?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: says 2010.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Logan, 2010.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Seth, 2000. Randall, 2010.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Corey, 2010. Nate, 1990.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Brody, 1990. The correct answer is 1990.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Let's go, baby.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Just Nate and Brody got that one right. California went
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: from having a bounty on mountain lions to closing mountain
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: lion seasons in just nine years. Here's that timeline. Until 1963,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the state paid hunters to kill cougars. From 1963 to 1970,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the state allowed year-round mountain lion hunting with no bag limits.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Then California made mountain lion seasons for 1970 and 1971.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: In 1972, they put a moratorium on lion hunting. Then
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in 1990, by a vote of 52% to 48%, California
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: voters passed Proposition 117 to outlaw mountain lion hunting. Question two,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the topic is woodsmanship. The Bureau of Land Management defines
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: this nine-letter type of camping as, quote, Camping on public
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: lands away from developed recreational facilities. BLM defines this nine-letter
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: type of camping as camping on public lands away from
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: developed recreational facilities.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: You know what you do for teams?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: What could we do?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: You could do it by, like, pursuit. Like, Laura's, like,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: a bird hunter.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Logan's a bow hunter. Seth's a fisherman.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So you want to put the anglers together or you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: want to put an angler with a big game hunter
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with a dog owner?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I think you got to mix them up.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: No, I think you specialize and see who knows more
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: about other stuff.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I feel like Seth's got more diversity than just fishing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Well, what do you think yourself as?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Trapper. Seth this morning was checking his fantasy fishing standings
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: when I walked into the office at 7.50 a.m. He
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: has a team of eight professional anglers.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Fantasy sports boy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: He was doing really well, except he forgot to submit
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: his picks. Five. He forgot to submit his picks when
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: he went up to Alaska to go fishing, so he
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: lost that week's fantasy fishing, and it really hurt him
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: in the overall standing. So I would... Yeah. I think
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the shoe fits.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Fishing interrupted his fishing. Why are you here at.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: 7.50 a.m.? Because I have too much to do.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. The BLM defines this nine-letter type of camping as
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: camping on public lands. away from developed recreational facilities. Is
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Brody Henderson stumped?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Dude, I have a word that I know is right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and it's not nine.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It's not nine letters.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I had to dig deep for this one. Corey, did
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you find the answer? I mean, I'm sure.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: This is the only type of camping I do.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: The answer you're looking for is... in my head somewhere,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: but I don't have it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to fight this one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura and Logan and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Seth and Randall say dispersed. Corey says primitive. Nate, dispersed. Brody, boondocking.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is dispersed.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Look it up.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: See if boondocking is one.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: But it's not nine letters.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Dispersed camping is anytime you camp somewhere that's not a campground.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: This term is used by the BLM, Forest Service, National
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Park Service, and many state agencies. According to a 2026 survey,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: dispersed camping is now the most popular camping style in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: America ahead of traditional campgrounds for the first time ever.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Which makes dispersed camping not quite as dispersed.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Not quite as cool.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Not as fun anymore. Everybody's doing it. Question three, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: topic is conservation. This conservation group which sells lifetime memberships
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: for dogs is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. The room
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is stumped. This conservation group, which sells lifetime memberships for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: dogs is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nate and Logan
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: locked in their answers and Brody.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Did someone restain this table? It's like the same table,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: but it's just.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: No, it's a different table.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Nathaniel.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: We painted the walls a few months ago.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That's it. Nathaniel and his wife stained it, and Nate
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: said it was a thirsty table. How many coats you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: put on here?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Three. Three of gel stain and three of poly, so
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: six total.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Was your wife wearing a mask?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: No, she was coaching me. She didn't actually come.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I gotcha.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: She stood in the other room and watched through the window.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: No, every now and then I'd be like, I'm dizzy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: She's concerned about your future heir.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: No, I've been doing all her staining projects recently.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: When you said Nathaniel, I was like, who is that?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: We'll never know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Is that actually your full name?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Who's this sophisticated man? We don't know.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Too pretentious. We don't use that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: This conservation group, which sells lifetime memberships for dogs, is
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. Is everybody ready? Go ahead
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and reveal your answers. Laura says, Pheasants Forever. Logan, Ducks Unlimited. Seth,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Pheasants Forever. Randall, Rough Grouse Society. Corey, Pheasants Forever. Nate,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Ducks Unlimited. Brody, Pheasants Unlimited. The correct answer is Pheasants
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Forever or Quail Forever. The Pheasants Forever dog life membership
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: is $ 500, and it comes with a Yeti dog bowl
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and framed certificate. That is half the price that it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: costs for a human life membership, which comes with a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Yeti go box, framed certificate, and calendar. Pheasants Forever says
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that more membership equals more habitat, more birds, and more
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: public access. So bang for the buck a human lifetime membership.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You know, humans live a.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Lot longer than dogs. Lifetime membership for a dog. Depending
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: on what the annual is, you might be better off.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: There is no annual membership. It's a lifetime or nothing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So you got to get it when you're a puppy.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Does your dog need a membership?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Doesn't need one, but it's good.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I think Max gets them.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Max also buys duck stamps for his dog.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: That's what it is. That's what I was thinking of.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Question four of the topic is cooking. This is our
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: listener question of the week, which was won by Mike
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Batson for sending this great question. Mike is going to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: get a $ 150 First Light gift card. If you want
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a chance to win the listener question of the week,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. This nine-letter
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: word refers to a Cajun cooking technique where fish is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: dipped in melted butter, coated in bold spices, and seared
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in a hot pan to build a dark crust. Corey
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and Randall were racing, and Corey is the winner. It's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: not a race. This nine-letter word refers to a Cajun
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: cooking technique where fish is dipped in melted butter, coated
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in bold spices, and seared in a hot pan to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: build a dark crust.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: This is like one of my dad's two dishes that
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: he cooks. He doesn't do much cooking.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So is he good at it? Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: We do it with salmon.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Good job, dad.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like salmon is not a popular way to...
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: This is not a popular way to make salmon. Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: It tastes pretty good, though.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The last meal I ate with my grandfather at a restaurant,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and he got really mad because they blackened the salmon. Okay.

  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: If you hadn't said anything.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Can we bleep all that out? That was a bad showing.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: That was a bad showing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: He's got a lot on his mind.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I couldn't even focus on the rest of your story.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: What happened? He got served a salmon.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: In this style.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And he was mad.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: It's okay.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You can say it again. We tried. Oh, now we
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: got it. Nice.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: We tried. We tried to like. Talk him down, but
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: he was very mad.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, there's some angry people out there right now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Is that what killed him?
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Don't joke about that, Spencer.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the whole
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: room saying blackened. How'd they know it? The correct answer
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is blackened. I'm off my game.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Sorry, everybody. That's really embarrassing.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: That's great.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: That's fine.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: This cooking technique was introduced in New Orleans in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: early 1980s. Blackened redfish became so popular that it caused
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: state and federal agencies to alter fishing regulations. In the Gulf,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: commercial redfish harvest spiked from 2.7 million pounds in 1980
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to 8.3 million pounds in 1986. To learn how to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: make it, check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe on TheMeatEater.com called
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Blackened Fish Tacos with Corn Salsa.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: There's a picture of Danielle's tacos.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Jeez.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Yum.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Oh. Where at, Seth?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Picture boy. That's a pretty picture there. I think so.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: We'll say that was Seth Morris' handiwork. What if it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: not Seth? I thought Danielle took her own photos.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, is that in your cookbook?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you shoot the cookbook?
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I've taken photos of her making that
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: same thing, though.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: No, that's not my photo.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: You can say what it is.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: On that table, too. We are on to question five.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The topic is public lands. This next great question is
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: via Greg Knutson. What does WPA stand for? As in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the land managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. WPA.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: What does that stand for? We are referring to the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: land that's managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Nate
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: locks in his answer. Do you have this one right, Nate?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I feel good. I could be wrong.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: How about you, Randall? Would you like to tell folks
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: what it is?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty good, but I've been showing my ass
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: already on this episode a little bit, so I'm not
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: going to make any bold predictions here.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Corey and Seth and Brody now putting down their whiteboards.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: What does WPA stand for?
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: My first job at Meteor was WPA.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Same here.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Wilderness Production Assistant? Mm-hmm.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Okay. That's not the answer, though, guys.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You made me nervous, Randall, when you did that. Taste
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of your own medicine. What does WPA stand for?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Yep, good old days of lugging batteries around and making
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: sandwiches for Steve and complaining about your sandwich.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Sandwiches are just never quite right.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Corey, are you ready?
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: says wilderness. Prevention area. Logan, wetland protected area. Seth, wildlife
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: protection area. Randall, waterfowl production area. Corey, wildlife protection area. Nate,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: wildlife protection area. Brody, waterfowl production area. We have a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: correct answer in the room.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It's Waterfowl Production Area. Randall and Brody.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: See if I had been confident. Got that one right.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Like Nate.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Big duck guys. Big duck guys.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: WPAs are small natural wetlands and grasslands that provide breeding
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and nesting habitat for millions of birds. There are about
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: 3 million acres of WPAs with the vast majority located
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: inside the prairie pothole region. The funding to preserve these
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: areas largely comes from duck stamp sales. And now it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: time for our Can-Am question of the week. Thanks to Can-Am,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you get some bonus trivia in this week's episode. This
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: does not count towards your score. It's just for break. rights.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Here's the question. The topic is gear. The five letters
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you'll find on most four-wheel drive ATV gear selectors are P, R, N, blank,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and blank. Randall, who's an expert at making bopping noises
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: over there, knew it right away.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, this one doesn't count.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: This does not count, but you should still try, Seth.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Let's see how much you know about gear. The five
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: letters you'll find on most four-wheel drive ATV gear selectors
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: are P, R, N, and blank, blank. Randall, could we
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hear if someone was driving an electric ATV around? What
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: would that sound like? Okay, very good. How about if
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: they were going through water? What would that sound like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's tough.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's pretty good.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Sorry to the listeners. Pretty good, yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: What if the exhaust was broken? What would that one
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: sound like? Yeah, all right. Wow, real jukebox over there.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Five letters you'll find on most four-wheel drive ATV gear selectors.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Phil, what's that called? Sound effects? What's that?
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Foley?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Foley, that's right.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Foley artists. We had that as a prior question that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: nobody got right. P-R-N, blank and blank. Is everybody ready?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura says D and four. Logan, H-L. Seth, H-L. Randall, H-L. Corey, L-H. Nate, L-H. Brody, D-L.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is H for high and L for low.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I think we had five of our seven players get
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that right. That was our Can-Am question of the week.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Can-Am.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: To be fair, I don't.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Have a Can-Am sitting in my driveway like some people
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: in this room.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Randall.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Randall still got it wrong because he had four.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: High and four low.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Shut up, Seth. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: We are halfway through today's game of trivia.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Not as tight as last week, but still pretty tight
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: here at halftime.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: How is it not as tight as last week?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Last week, we had seven players who had three points
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: going into question six.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Logan and Corey have two points apiece. Everyone else, Laura, Seth, Randall, Nate,
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: and Brody have three.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: There will be no perfect game today.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Two more only?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Or are we halfway?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: We're halfway through the game. I thought I got more
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: than that wrong.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Send Brody to the vegan nursing house.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: No, I thought I had way more than that wrong. Huh?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Question six. The topic is fishing. President Trump said in
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: an August 2026 Truth Social post that he is, quote,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: giving serious consideration to changing the name of blank blank
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to Lake America.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, good God.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Have you read the news today?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I wrote this question yesterday and then Brody sent a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: text to our news group today. and maybe spoiled this
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: for some folks in the room. President Trump said in
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: an August 2026 Truth Social post that he is giving
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: serious consideration to changing the name of blank, blank to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Lake America. Corey, do you have this one right?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: If this was in a SNL skit, nobody, like, it
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: seems like that's where it came from.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Like he got that idea from an SNL skit. Logan,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: do you have this one right?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of unpatriotic names of lakes.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretend this is an SNL skit then. See what
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: you can come up with.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a joke, right? The whole thing.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: President Trump is giving serious consideration to changing the name
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of blank blank to Lake America. Is everybody ready? Go
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: ahead and reveal your answers. Laura says Lake Superior. Logan,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Lake Michigan. Seth and Randall and Corey... And Nate and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Brody say Lake Ontario. They got it. The correct answer
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: is Lake Ontario.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Did he not sign an executive order?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: He tweeted about it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: No, he signed it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. That's why I sent that text. I only
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: saw the tweet about it yesterday. I hadn't heard that update.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: It's dating this episode, but yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: President Trump floated the name change as a retaliatory move
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: in the country's ongoing trade war with Canada. His reasoning was, quote,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: we don't expect to be doing much business with Ontario
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: any longer. His last name change from Gulf of Mexico
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to Gulf of America has received mixed adaptation. The federal government,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Apple Maps and Google Maps now call it the Gulf
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of America, while most foreign governments, Encyclopedia Britannica and the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Associated Press have stuck with Gulf of Mexico. Some groups
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: like Southwest Airlines and Royal Caribbean Cruises have scrubbed both
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: names from their maps and promotional materials as to not
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: take a side. Question seven, the topic is wildlife. They
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: just don't label it or they'll say like the Caribbean seas.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: It's just the southwestern Atlantic, the central western Atlantic.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Question seven, the topic is wildlife. This five-word business, which
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: refers to its museums as auditoriums, owns unbelievable taxidermy like
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: a cyclops shark, two-headed snake, and blue lobster. The topic
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is wildlife. This five-word business, which refers to its museums
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: as auditoriums, that's O-D-D, auditoriums, owns unbelievable taxidermy like a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: cyclops shark, two-headed snake, and blue lobster. Nate, do you
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have this one right?
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I got a good guess.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Five-letter business?
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that's there.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Excuse me five word business five. Oh five word not
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: five all five word dang five word business No, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: still got it so guys he has Auditoriums owns unbelievable
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: taxidermy like a cyclops shark two-headed snake and blue lobster.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I think I still have it have we thought about
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: adding words to the name of our business.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I You think how we could get to be a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: six-word business.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: It's just impressive when you think about it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a lot of five-word businesses out there. So
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Nate and Brody and Randall, they all think they have it. Laura, Logan, Seth,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and Corey appear to be stumped. Five-word business, which refers
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to its museums as auditoriums, owns unbelievable taxidermy like a
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: cyclops shark, two-headed snake, and blue lobster.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Wait a minute.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. We found it. Corey, do you have this one?
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: I'm waiting for Randall to spill the beans.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: What do you got? Any hints? Tidbits? It's only one
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: of the few five word businesses I can think of.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Any grandpa stories? Not a fan of this.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: He wasn't? No. Okay, Laura and Logan disagree. They both
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: liked their answers. We'll find out who has it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Well, I like your answer.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Two different five-word businesses?
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now I know. Okay. That's the second five-word business
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I can think of.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't even know what it could be. I'm
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: excited to see these. Corey, do you give up? Yeah.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I think Marshall would get this. Is it still a thing?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura says, Ripley's Believe
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It or Not. Logan, Guinness Book of World Records. Seth,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: without an answer. Randall says, Ripley, Believe It or Not. Corey,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: without an answer. Nate, Ripley's Believe It or Not. Brody,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not. The correct answer is Ripley's
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Believe It or Not. This feels like Auction House about these.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, I'd love to have the collection
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: of things that they have.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Spencer, believe it or not.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Ripley's started as a newspaper cartoon in 1918. By the 1930s,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the business was making books, radio programs, and museums. Ripley's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: has since expanded into aquariums, mirror mazes, movie theaters, wax museums,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: mini golf courses, haunted houses, and science centers. Here's some
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: business ideas for us.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Where are these places?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: All over. I feel like they've got dozens of museums
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: in the United States, and then also dozens more worldwide. Auditoriums.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And they have an aquarium, I think, in Myrtle Beach
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: and Gatlinburg. We're on to question eight. The topic is conservation.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: This next great question is via Nate Powitsky. What tool
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: has Smokey Bear held since 1951?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Now this is a question.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: The room has their mojo back. A lot of quick answers.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: What tool has Smokey held since 1951? Very quick answers
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in the room. We're going to give our audience a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: chance to think before we flip over the whiteboard. Has
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: anyone ever been to a Ripley's? Boring.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I think I had a book or something. Do they
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: make books?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: They made books. That's why I think Marshall might know it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I assumed in Marshall's library he's got a Ripley's Believe
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: It or Not book somewhere. No, he's been into the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Guinness Book of World Records recently.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I've been looking at the 2009 Guinness Book of World
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Records book. Oh, way out of date. What tool has
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Smokey Bear held since 1951? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: We have Laura saying a shovel. Logan, shovel. Seth, shovel. Randall, shovel. Corey, shovel. Nate, shovel. Brody, shovel.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is shovel. When Smokey Bear debuted in 1944,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: he was holding a bucket of water. But a 1951
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: redesign replaced the pail with a shovel, which he has
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: posed with ever since. Smokey said in a 2020 Facebook
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: post that he carries a shovel so that he can
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: stir and bury his campfires. And there is a very
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: handsome Smokey shirtless holding his shovel.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Odd fit to those pants. Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: A little too long.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: They're blousey in the front, but it seems like it
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: fits his body.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: It looks like they're on backwards.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it does look like they're on backwards.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: We'll figure it out, Smokey. He's being a.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Little critical of a bear wearing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: A pair of pants.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: He put them on.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Two questions left.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: We've got a three-way tie up at the top between Randall, Nate,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: and Brody. Oh, I shouldn't have screwed up those questions.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Behind them are Laura and Seth with five, Corey with four,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: and Logan with three.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Question nine, the topic is hunting. This next great question
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: is via Charlie McDonald. The 300 WSM, which debuted in 2001,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: stands for Winchester blank Magnum.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Randall definitely doesn't have this.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Another confident room. The 300 WSM, which debuted in 2001,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: stands for Winchester blank Magnum.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: When I hosted trivia at the ELR match, some of
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: our questions were we gave people like five different. 30
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: cal cartridges, and we had people, you had to put
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: them in order of their market debut. Oh, that's cool.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Among one. Among the 30 cows was this. Okay.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have an opinion you can share on the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: 300 WSM after this?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Not firsthand.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I had, well, I have thoughts, but I've never owned one.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I owned a barrel.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a weird thing.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I owned an unfired barrel.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Janice used one for it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And then I sold the action I was going to
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: put it on. And now I got another action like that,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and I wish I still had that barrel. It was fat.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Winchester blank.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Sold to a guy in Alaska. Shit thing wasn't cheap.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: says standard. Logan and Seth and Randall and Corey and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Nate and Brody say short. The correct answer is short.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: The WSM family is a series of short action rifle
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: cartridges introduced by Winchester in the early 2000s. These were
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: made to rival traditional long action Magnum ballistics in a
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: short action gun. Of the newly formed cartridges, the 300WSM
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: became the most popular. To see how it stacks up
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: against more conventional rounds, go read Jordan Siller's article on
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: TheMeatEater.com called Caliber Battle, 30-odd-six Springfield versus 300 Winchester Short Magnum.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: was 1990. Two, dispersed camping. Three, pheasants forever. Four, blackened fish. Five,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: waterfowl production area. Six, Lake Ontario. Seven, Ripley's Believe It
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: or Not. Eight, Shovel. Nine, Winchester Short Magnum. Phil, scoreboard update.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Randall, Nate, and Brody all got that one correct, so
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: they're still tied up. Now with seven points, Seth is
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: just behind them with six.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Question 10. The topic is fishing.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, classic, man.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I knew it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Wells catfish have been compared to killer whales because of
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: how they haunt their six-letter prey on the banks of
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: France's Tarn River. Brody had his answer before I finished
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the question. If Brody can get this one right and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Nate and Randall can get it wrong, he will be
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: today's victor.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: That Pheasants Forever question's haunting me.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Welles catfish have been compared to killer whales because of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: how they haunt their six-letter prey on the banks of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: France's Tarn River. Seth, do you have this one right?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but I've seen a video before.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I think that's somehow a hint. Now I know.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: No.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Whales catfish have been compared to killer whales because of
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: how they haunt their six-letter prey on the banks of
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: France's Tarn River.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Six-letter prey.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Seth is watching every move that Randall makes. He'll be
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: watching you. Every step you take, every breath you make.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I got to think about it for a second.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I'll show you.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Six-letter prey on the banks of France's Tarn River. Do
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you have an answer, Randall?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Not yet. I mean, I'm thinking of things that live
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: by rivers.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. Corey thinks he has it right now. I do.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I got less pressure against me, though.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Nate needs to get this to stay even with Brody. Nate,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: do you have an answer?
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I got an answer, but I don't like it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: It's a six-letter answer.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Is it singular?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Not giving you any more hints. Whale's catfish have been
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: compared to killer whales because of how they hunt their
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: six-letter prey on the banks of France's Tarn River. Brody's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: in great spirits over here. He's doing a little jig.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Maybe I got it wrong.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm way off. But I'll go down knowing I'm
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: an angler unlike Nate.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: You got me.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: How's it looking over there, Seth?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It's not great.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: He should be.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Turning red at any moment.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: No, I don't care.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Give me like 10 seconds.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Laura, do you have this one right? No.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I'm pulling for you, Randall.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Boy, it's been a while.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Since that number 10 fishing question came through for me.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: The tough thing is I've been thinking about whales a lot.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I actually saw some at a fish market.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: A whale's catfish?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some smaller ones. Okay. Two and three footers.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: But I've been thinking about them a lot.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Hmm. Do you give up now?
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Nate?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura, without an answer,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Logan says shrimp. Seth says pigeon. Randall, rabbit. Corey, salmon. Nate, turtle. Brody, pigeon.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: The correct answer is pigeon. Oh. Brody got that one right,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: making him today's big winner with eight correct answers. And Seth,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: he's going to tie for second place. You said you'd
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: tie me today. Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: I knew this was rigged.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: It was a good job.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Growing up to nine feet long and 300 pounds, the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Wells catfish is Europe's biggest freshwater fish. They are native
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to Eastern Europe and Western Asia, but have been introduced
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to waters across both continents. Wells were put in the
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Tarn River in the early 1980s, and have been flourishing
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: there ever since. That unique population is famous for hunting
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: pigeons on shore. The catfish will wait in shallow water,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: then propel themselves onto dry land to grab a pigeon
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: before slithering back into the river. A 2011 study filmed
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: 54 of these encounters, of which 28% were successful. This
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: type of Welsh catfish behavior has rarely been seen elsewhere.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: So 28% of the time when one of those things
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: goes for a pigeon on dry land, they eat that pigeon.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I knew it was a bird, but I just couldn't
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: think of a six-letter bird. I was going through ducklings
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and ducks. Yeah, because I told you I couldn't think
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: of a six-letter bird. Would I should have put down
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: a five-letter bird?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Brody is today's winner. Eight correct answers.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Do you think there's any correlation between the heat in
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: this room and like the angstiness?
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: There might be.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: No, it has to do with deadlines.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Brody, $ 500 donation. What's it going to be?
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's go to Pheasants Unlimited.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, Pheasants Forever. Pheasants Forever, PF. $ 500 could buy
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you a lifetime dog membership. Join us next week for
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: always wins. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.

  Speaker 1: Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks.
