Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: This podcast. Can we start the episode now.
- 0:14Speaker 2: In the last one?
- 0:15Speaker 3: Yeah, Randall, we've been rolling for five minutes.
- 0:18Speaker 1: In that case, Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the only
- 0:23Speaker 1: game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Randall Williams.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Today we're joined by Spencer, Yiannis, Brody, cal Tresa, Alyssa
- 0:33Speaker 1: and Hansey. This is a ten round quiz show with
- 0:36Speaker 1: question I thought we were doing a new.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Fingers slipped on the light control here continue.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Gotta put that epilepsy warning on the top of it.
- 0:46Speaker 1: This is a ten round quiz show with questions for
- 0:49Speaker 1: meat eaters four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
- 0:55Speaker 1: There is a prize. Meat eater will donate five hundred
- 0:58Speaker 1: dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. Now
- 1:02Speaker 1: for the stat of the week. This week, we're looking
- 1:04Speaker 1: at player performance from previous episodes I've hosted. The average
- 1:08Speaker 1: player score in those rounds was a four point eight,
- 1:11Speaker 1: with the average winning score being an eight. That means
- 1:14Speaker 1: Randall hosted episodes are slightly easier than Yannis hosted episodes.
- 1:19Speaker 1: That's right, which is good because Janni's first two episodes
- 1:22Speaker 1: were incredibly difficult, to the point that they weren't very
- 1:24Speaker 1: fun to play.
- 1:25Speaker 5: Oh wow, and no cooking questions.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I just feel like the way this is written, Spencer,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the way you wrote this made it sound like my
- 1:33Speaker 1: episodes are bad.
- 1:35Speaker 5: No, no, I.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Think it should say that means randall hosted episodes are
- 1:40Speaker 1: just right.
- 1:42Speaker 5: Okay, there you go, They're just right.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Goldiete.
- 1:45Speaker 6: Yeah, are you gonna have all four verticals this time?
- 1:48Speaker 6: Because Jannis barely.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm going to introduce a new vertical today.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Actually, okay, good.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Now for the I FAQ here's our Infrequently Asked Question segment.
- 1:59Speaker 1: If you have a trivia related question for our crew,
- 2:02Speaker 1: send it to Trivia at the Meat Eater dot com
- 2:04Speaker 1: with the subject line I FAQ. This one comes from
- 2:08Speaker 1: Spencer Newhart says, what does it mean to be a
- 2:13Speaker 1: randomal Now?
- 2:14Speaker 5: Yanni thinks I'm always planning these questions, but here planting
- 2:19Speaker 5: a question. Yanna, So what is a randomal Well?
- 2:21Speaker 1: I asked Phil to contemplate this. I was going to
- 2:25Speaker 1: reach out to the community. We're all in touch on Instagram. Uh, Phil,
- 2:30Speaker 1: did you do you have an answer for us?
- 2:32Speaker 2: Oh?
- 2:32Speaker 3: Sure, this is this is the first thing I wrote
- 2:34Speaker 3: up here, I said, a randomal is an alpha who
- 2:37Speaker 3: lives life not for the destination or the journey, for
- 2:41Speaker 3: the complete but for the competition and hot dogs you
- 2:44Speaker 3: crush along the way. Is also keen enough to distinguish
- 2:47Speaker 3: that from the journey.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Okay, that's good, that's good.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I wrote a few notes. I said, they don't take
- 2:55Speaker 1: themselves too seriously, but they don't like funny business when
- 2:58Speaker 1: it comes to trivia. But I said, randamals likes spelling
- 3:03Speaker 1: things correctly. It's another point of emphasis for us. But
- 3:06Speaker 1: I think they come from all walks of life. I
- 3:08Speaker 1: think regionally speaking, most of them live within one hundred
- 3:12Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty miles of the Ohio River. Yeah,
- 3:17Speaker 1: just people who like case meat, professional basketball. There are
- 3:22Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of folks up out there
- 3:24Speaker 1: who like guns, like weird information about guns.
- 3:28Speaker 5: So now we know there were people previously who didn't
- 3:30Speaker 5: consider themselves randomals. Now that they just heard themselves described, it's.
- 3:34Speaker 1: A growing moment. It's a real tribe. Yeah, we've had
- 3:37Speaker 1: I've actually be.
- 3:38Speaker 7: Honest, do you have something well so happy that you say,
- 3:42Speaker 7: but you reminded me that randomals love case meat? You
- 3:46Speaker 7: remember last week I mentioned that I hung out with
- 3:49Speaker 7: Eli Cairo from Olympia Provisions. He sent me a box
- 3:52Speaker 7: of meat. There's a lot of case meat in it.
- 3:55Speaker 7: They make a product called that. I don't know if
- 3:58Speaker 7: I'm gonna pronounce this properly, Hans he might be to
- 4:00Speaker 7: be able to help me. But it's uh cossack kriner
- 4:03Speaker 7: like k A with the umlau s e k r
- 4:06Speaker 7: a I n e r. It's basically this lovely like
- 4:10Speaker 7: very multified frankfurter thing. But it has Swiss cheese dotted
- 4:14Speaker 7: in it. Not some high temp bullshit, the real deal.
- 4:17Speaker 7: I'm telling you, set you free, buddy. I'm going to
- 4:20Speaker 7: bring you a package. Yeah, let's do that.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Why is Hansei a subject matter expert on that?
- 4:25Speaker 7: Just pronunciation.
- 4:28Speaker 1: O German derschermier Desmyer. Sorry, everyone loves to put the
- 4:33Speaker 1: the rx R in there. That's okay, Alan, probably did
- 4:36Speaker 1: you dirty?
- 4:36Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I will note that. Actually random's I found Alan Dershowitz.
- 4:42Speaker 1: That's the only Sorry, that's the stuff that rand look
- 4:47Speaker 1: for right there.
- 4:50Speaker 4: But it's actually a real flavor.
- 4:51Speaker 1: It's it's a real thing. Random is a term I
- 4:54Speaker 1: found out that refers to it's a It's an abbreviation
- 4:58Speaker 1: of random animal and when people are messing around with
- 5:02Speaker 1: AI to generate strange creatures. Apparently, randomal is a term
- 5:07Speaker 1: that they used to describe, like they'll tell AI to
- 5:09Speaker 1: make up like a tiger with scale.
- 5:11Speaker 6: I thought it was just a category of people you
- 5:13Speaker 6: came up with that.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of started getting that the more he's
- 5:18Speaker 4: like you it's a real thing, because I keep saying that.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Over id an escape room this weekend and AI generated
- 5:25Speaker 3: randomles were a part of the escape room.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Really, WHOA Did you know that they were randomals at
- 5:29Speaker 1: the time.
- 5:30Speaker 3: No, I just learned this right now.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I learned that this morning.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Did you escape, Phill We escaped?
- 5:36Speaker 4: Yes, I bet you escape room.
- 5:38Speaker 3: I mean, I've got a one thousand average batting average
- 5:40Speaker 3: on escape rooms.
- 5:41Speaker 5: Are you like a team leader when that's happening.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Uh, it's it's a competition between me and my wife
- 5:47Speaker 3: Adrian about who's the leader.
- 5:49Speaker 4: I just that you guys, you were taking the kids
- 5:53Speaker 4: to an escape.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we shoved them aside and did it just panic.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Inn escape rooms? I don't like it now for some housekeeping.
- 6:02Speaker 5: That's the difference between a randomal and a philistine.
- 6:07Speaker 1: This one is for the Randamals out there now for
- 6:10Speaker 1: some housekeeping. On episode six fifteen, I asked a question
- 6:13Speaker 1: about the fastest commercially produced rifle cartridge in the world,
- 6:16Speaker 1: the two twenty Swift. It was a tiebreaker question. In
- 6:19Speaker 1: the flavor text, I said the following a prototype quote.
- 6:22Speaker 1: A prototype was developed in nineteen thirty four by a
- 6:25Speaker 1: man named Grosvenora Watkins, who necked down the twenty five
- 6:28Speaker 1: three thousand Savage. Many many people have written in to
- 6:31Speaker 1: claim that I'm wrong in this assertion, instead claiming that
- 6:35Speaker 1: the two twenty Swift is based on the six millimeter
- 6:38Speaker 1: Lee Navy, and in fact, I'd like to let you
- 6:40Speaker 1: know that both of us are correct. The version that
- 6:43Speaker 1: was produced by Winchester for the commercial market was based
- 6:47Speaker 1: on the six milimeter Lee Navy. And this comes from
- 6:50Speaker 1: an article published by Paul Box on Accurate shooter dot com,
- 6:53Speaker 1: which is a tremendous website. The carts were introduced by
- 6:58Speaker 1: Winchester in nineteen thirty five for their Model fit fifty
- 7:00Speaker 1: four rifle. A year later, it was added as a
- 7:02Speaker 1: standard cartridge in the Model seventy. And here's where it
- 7:05Speaker 1: gets interesting. What might not be common knowledge to some
- 7:08Speaker 1: reloaders is that the prototype for the Swift was developed
- 7:11Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty four to thirty five by Gross Venora
- 7:13Speaker 1: Watkins by necking down the two fifty Savage case, but
- 7:17Speaker 1: in the end Winchester chose the six milimeter Lee Navy.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So I actually had more information about the development of
- 7:23Speaker 1: this cartridge included in my flavor text, but I rushed
- 7:26Speaker 1: through my reading after a particularly contentious game of trivia. Yeah,
- 7:31Speaker 1: if you'll recall, Steve and cow were particularly upset about
- 7:35Speaker 1: the confusing title of the film Lake Placid, so I
- 7:38Speaker 1: rushed through what I had prepared just to end that episode.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Good recall.
- 7:44Speaker 1: So for you careful listening cartridge offiicionados out there, I
- 7:48Speaker 1: apologize for my hasty summary.
- 7:50Speaker 5: I like those people.
- 7:53Speaker 1: No, they're gonna get you. Oh, they will get you.
- 7:55Speaker 5: I like some housekeeping that's like six months old like that. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:58Speaker 5: good throwback. I mean we're still getting emails about it.
- 8:01Speaker 5: That's right now.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The Sydney Index for today's episode is a three, meaning
- 8:05Speaker 1: that our winner should get six correct answers. But I
- 8:09Speaker 1: think we can do better than that. Gang, And now
- 8:12Speaker 1: we're on to our game of trivia, Phil please play
- 8:15Speaker 1: the drop.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Please note that people write in with that that I
- 8:22Speaker 5: don't say.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Please shout, I try filling throats.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Question one. This is our multiple choice question in the
- 8:39Speaker 1: category of public lands. What river is the only major
- 8:44Speaker 1: river system entirely contained within the state of Nevada and
- 8:48Speaker 1: shares its name with the largest national forest outside of Alaska.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Your options are A Elco be Humboldt, see Reno four,
- 9:01Speaker 1: winn Amucca, and I'll read this once again for those
- 9:05Speaker 1: out there playing it along. What river is the only
- 9:10Speaker 1: major river system entirely contained within the state of Nevada
- 9:14Speaker 1: and shares its name with the largest national forest outside
- 9:19Speaker 1: of Alaska? We have an answer from Brody Let's folks
- 9:23Speaker 1: still chew it on this one. You honest is writing something,
- 9:25Speaker 1: cal Cal's contemplating Spencer's writing. Guys want to Guy's got
- 9:33Speaker 1: any thoughts, any chit chat about this quest? Question?
- 9:36Speaker 5: I don't know it, but I like this one.
- 9:40Speaker 4: I think I do.
- 9:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Oh oh, Hanse, I thought you hadn't written something, but
- 9:43Speaker 1: you have a double yeah. I've never realized how confusing
- 9:48Speaker 1: that might be for a host.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Lived in Nevada for a minute, right, Yeah.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Well, I worked in Nevada, but I lived in Trucky.
- 9:54Speaker 6: So this this river starts and terminates in the state
- 10:00Speaker 6: of Nevada river system.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Yes, well it Brodie's correct. If you'll recall Nevada is
- 10:09Speaker 1: part of the Great Basin.
- 10:11Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
- 10:15Speaker 7: It's interesting that you can give us a tip within
- 10:20Speaker 7: the question and it's still not a gimme.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I liked this question, I do.
- 10:26Speaker 2: I do say it was.
- 10:27Speaker 1: It was a last minute. It was a last minute.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I actually I was fact checking one of my questions earlier,
- 10:33Speaker 1: and I thought it was too tricky to make a
- 10:36Speaker 1: hard determination one way or the other. So I came
- 10:39Speaker 1: up with this one and then decided it was too hard,
- 10:41Speaker 1: made it multiple choice, and removed a clue as to
- 10:45Speaker 1: a number of letters in the answer. And I didn't
- 10:47Speaker 1: screw that up like I did when my first question
- 10:49Speaker 1: was gallery for you.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Did you follow that?
- 10:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I just quite paying.
- 10:54Speaker 6: That's what I meant.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Oh, sourpus cat, it was pretty pleasant.
- 11:05Speaker 4: I was still happy.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Do we all have answers? Why don't we flip them over?
- 11:12Speaker 1: Gang Yannas says Humboldt, cal says Alco, Alyssa says Alco.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Trissa says Humboldt. Spencer says Winnemucca. Hondi says Humboldt. Brody
- 11:22Speaker 1: says Humboldt. We have a handful of correct answers in
- 11:26Speaker 1: the room. It's the Humboldt River. The Humboldt River originates
- 11:30Speaker 1: in the Ruby Mountains of northeastern Nevada and flows westward
- 11:33Speaker 1: for approximately three hundred miles before ending in the Humboldt Sink.
- 11:37Speaker 1: It was an important water source for emigrants traveling in
- 11:40Speaker 1: the California Trail during the nineteenth century. This river shares
- 11:44Speaker 1: its name with the Humboldt Taiabi National Forest, which spans
- 11:47Speaker 1: over six million acres across Nevada in eastern California. Both
- 11:50Speaker 1: the river and the forest were named after Alexander von Humboldt,
- 11:54Speaker 1: a Prussian nationalist and explorer who also has named after
- 11:58Speaker 1: him a squid, a penguin, a glacier, a peak, and
- 12:01Speaker 1: an ocean current. That is a hell of a collection. Yeah,
- 12:06Speaker 1: across the gambit there's a wonderful book called The Humboldt Current,
- 12:10Speaker 1: and it's a history of Alexander von Humboldt's life and
- 12:12Speaker 1: his influence on natural thinking.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Huh good for him.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Yeah, jealous, I learned something good, Randalls.
- 12:21Speaker 7: You've already crushed my host thing from the last episode.
- 12:24Speaker 4: One question is just very different styles.
- 12:26Speaker 1: You haven't heard question two.
- 12:28Speaker 4: I'm excited.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Question two comes to us in the category of cooking.
- 12:34Speaker 1: What dish created by an American physician to combat malnutrition
- 12:39Speaker 1: during the Civil War consists of ground beef mixed with seasonings,
- 12:44Speaker 1: formed into a patty and is typically served with gravy.
- 12:49Speaker 1: I'll read that once again. We're looking for a dish
- 12:52Speaker 1: that was created by an American physician to combat malnutrition
- 12:56Speaker 1: during the Civil War, and it consists of ground beef
- 13:00Speaker 1: mixed with seasonings, formed into a patty and is typically
- 13:04Speaker 1: served with gravy.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Oh listen, I literally just watched in real time inspiration strike.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You ever you ever make one of these?
- 13:17Speaker 4: Cow based off of that? Yes, some version of that.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Do you know the answer?
- 13:29Speaker 5: I have an answer Now that you said one of these, though,
- 13:32Speaker 5: that changes my answer.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I think, well, have you ever made this?
- 13:38Speaker 5: Right, but you wouldn't say, like, have you ever made
- 13:40Speaker 5: one of these? And the answer with spaghetti, So yeah,
- 13:43Speaker 5: that's true.
- 13:45Speaker 4: You go down on Main Street, right, you go to
- 13:48Speaker 4: the Cowboy Cafe down there, or the Western Cafe every
- 13:53Speaker 4: single day on the special board, you're gonna see Hamburger
- 13:55Speaker 4: steak for breakfast?
- 13:58Speaker 5: Uh huh?
- 14:00Speaker 2: Would you like that?
- 14:01Speaker 1: With gravy? Like, I mean, what are you doing?
- 14:07Speaker 7: He's already cutting down your question before you've given the answer.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Does anybody else have an answer.
- 14:17Speaker 7: With what my gut? With what my gut's saying?
- 14:21Speaker 2: Does anybody?
- 14:21Speaker 5: I mean, damn, I saw Cow's board. I can't write that.
- 14:27Speaker 1: What are you doing to my game?
- 14:29Speaker 4: I'm a people pleaser.
- 14:34Speaker 6: Fine, as long as you don't change your answer.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The double sided whiteboards are getting a really spencer's Spencer's
- 14:42Speaker 1: writing here, All right, let's flip them over. Gang chuck stick,
- 14:52Speaker 1: Cal says Salisbury steak, says cube steaks, says burger, I
- 14:57Speaker 1: like Spencer's. Spencer says sword on a shingle, But that's
- 15:01Speaker 1: chip beef. Hansi says chip beef like with toast s
- 15:06Speaker 1: word on a shingle, and Brody says salisbury steak. The
- 15:09Speaker 1: correct answer is Salisbury steak or Hamburger steak steak.
- 15:17Speaker 5: I well, well, gravy on top, like take.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Your guns, randall, Phil, do you want to do a
- 15:26Speaker 1: quick fact check?
- 15:28Speaker 3: Okay? But but chuck and cube steak are there. That
- 15:32Speaker 3: has nothing to do with the with the preparation right
- 15:35Speaker 3: of putting gravy on it is far.
- 15:37Speaker 4: No, you can you can deep fat fry a cube
- 15:39Speaker 4: steak and then you got chicken fried steak.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Cube steak is mechanically tenderized cuff of This is what
- 15:45Speaker 1: AI says. It says, it's not the same thing.
- 15:48Speaker 4: What about chuck.
- 15:50Speaker 6: Chuck's just a steak from the chuck, ain't it.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, they're not the same. AI says once again, Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 1: chuck steak is just a cut of beef from the shoulder.
- 16:01Speaker 3: You use cube steak to make chicken fried steak, or
- 16:04Speaker 3: you can use it to make Salisbury.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Made now. The Salisbury steak was created by doctor James
- 16:11Speaker 1: Henry Salisbury. Oftentimes people think it's named after Salisbury, England,
- 16:16Speaker 1: but Salisbury was an American physician who developed it during
- 16:19Speaker 1: the Civil War as a remedy for soldiers suffering from
- 16:22Speaker 1: chronic diarrhea and other ailments. Huh, doctor Salisbury, Because when
- 16:26Speaker 1: I'm suffering from crime diarrhea, the first thing I do
- 16:29Speaker 1: is patty with gravy. I believe that vegetables and starchy
- 16:34Speaker 1: foods produced toxins in the digestive system and advocated for
- 16:38Speaker 1: a meat centered diet. He referred to the ground beef
- 16:40Speaker 1: patties as quote a muscle pulp of beef and advocated
- 16:44Speaker 1: for a meat based Diari said that, and he suggested
- 16:48Speaker 1: that it should be eaten three times a day. Whoa,
- 16:51Speaker 1: yea the.
- 16:52Speaker 5: First paleo trust your doctors.
- 16:55Speaker 4: But like s O s is like a military food staple.
- 16:59Speaker 8: Yeah, they got like a navy You may have said
- 17:02Speaker 8: this was, Yeah, Sualisbury steak and Swiss steak always kind
- 17:10Speaker 8: of go I feel like interchangeably to me too.
- 17:13Speaker 1: I feel like Swiss steak is like I feel like
- 17:15Speaker 1: Salisbury steak is typically with like a brown gravy, where
- 17:18Speaker 1: Swiss steak is more of like a white.
- 17:20Speaker 4: But then like enter schnitzel.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean and hamburger hamburger steak.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Really, is this going on long enough?
- 17:32Speaker 1: I feel like we're on time right now.
- 17:34Speaker 4: We're doing great.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:35Speaker 1: World War One, the anti German sentiment led to a
- 17:37Speaker 1: lot of people abandoning the term hamburger steak. So question
- 17:41Speaker 1: three this is in the category of America. This question
- 17:46Speaker 1: comes to us from Justin Faye of Cincinnati, Ohio. He
- 17:53Speaker 1: knows how to get me to read his question, In
- 17:56Speaker 1: what state do you find the northwest angle the northernmost
- 18:00Speaker 1: in the lower forty eight? In what state do you
- 18:05Speaker 1: find the northwest angle which is the northernmost spot in
- 18:09Speaker 1: the lower forty eight?
- 18:12Speaker 2: Uh?
- 18:13Speaker 3: Randall is someone who doesn't care about the NBA or,
- 18:18Speaker 3: with all due respect, the state of Ohio. Can I
- 18:20Speaker 3: still be considered a randomal?
- 18:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:22Speaker 3: Of course, Okay, thank you.
- 18:23Speaker 1: That's the thing is, people from all walks of life
- 18:25Speaker 1: are joining the movement. It could be it could be
- 18:30Speaker 1: you like movies. I mean, there's a lot of people
- 18:32Speaker 1: that just enjoy movies.
- 18:33Speaker 3: It's very it's very inclusive. But aren't you afraid that
- 18:36Speaker 3: if you kind of expand the parameters too far, then
- 18:39Speaker 3: it doesn't make it special or.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Not at all?
- 18:41Speaker 4: No?
- 18:42Speaker 1: Okay, No, I mean I think there's obviously certain types
- 18:45Speaker 1: of people that could never be randomals.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Like a racist?
- 18:49Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, you heard it first, No racist aloud A.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Moment, And I feel like you have to be you
- 18:57Speaker 1: can't be in curious, you know. I feel like I
- 19:02Speaker 1: feel like you just have to be open to the world.
- 19:04Speaker 5: What about can you be Canadian?
- 19:07Speaker 1: Absolutely?
- 19:08Speaker 5: Can you be a woman?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Absolutely?
- 19:10Speaker 5: Okay? Is your wife a randomal?
- 19:12Speaker 1: Not really?
- 19:14Speaker 3: I think she's a horrific racist.
- 19:21Speaker 1: No, she said to me the other day, she said,
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm the original random one. Oh is that sweet? Did
- 19:28Speaker 1: that really happen? Leave that up to the viewers at home.
- 19:34Speaker 1: I see we all have answers. Why don't we flip
- 19:37Speaker 1: them over? Gang Giannis is Maine, cal says Washington, Alyssa's Maine,
- 19:43Speaker 1: Tresis's Maine, Spencer Minnesota, Hansi Minnesota, Brody Maine. We have
- 19:50Speaker 1: a correct answer in the room. It's Minnesota. This unique
- 19:57Speaker 1: creature is actually separated from the rest of Minnesota by
- 20:01Speaker 1: Lake of the Woods, and you can only reach it
- 20:03Speaker 1: by boat or by traveling through Canada. The Northwest Angle
- 20:06Speaker 1: extends into Canadian territory and as the result of a
- 20:09Speaker 1: surveying error during border negotiations between the United States and
- 20:12Speaker 1: Great Britain in the late eighteenth century. I don't think
- 20:16Speaker 1: that's correct. It's early nineteenth century. The Northwest Angle reaches
- 20:21Speaker 1: to about forty nine degrees twenty three minutes north latitude,
- 20:24Speaker 1: making it the only part of the contiguous United States
- 20:27Speaker 1: that extends north of the forty ninth parallel.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Good for us. Glad we got that.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Yeah. Interestingly enough, when we were working on the when
- 20:36Speaker 1: we were working on the landlocked report for tierracpian Onyx,
- 20:41Speaker 1: the algorithm flagged all of that as inaccessible landlocked public
- 20:45Speaker 1: lands because you couldn't get there by the road system.
- 20:49Speaker 6: Well, as soon as Canada becomes the fifty first state,
- 20:52Speaker 6: that line's going to move on.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Let's not get into politics on this episode of the program.
- 20:56Speaker 4: Brody, shouldn't it be called the North Central Angle?
- 21:00Speaker 1: Depends what you're talking about it being in relation.
- 21:02Speaker 4: To well, yeah, exactly context, Come on northwest of.
- 21:06Speaker 1: What question four fishing, Paul, What turquoise Blue River, which
- 21:17Speaker 1: the Alaska Department of Fishing Game calls quote the most
- 21:19Speaker 1: heavily fished river in the forty nine state, produced the
- 21:23Speaker 1: world record angler caught king salmon in nineteen eighty five. Again,
- 21:29Speaker 1: we're looking for a turquoise Blue river that Alaska Department
- 21:32Speaker 1: of Fishing Game calls the most heavily fished river in
- 21:35Speaker 1: the state, and it produced the world record angler caught
- 21:39Speaker 1: king salmon in nineteen eighty five. Had quick answers from Brody.
- 21:44Speaker 1: From Yannis Hansi's writing, Cal is in a deep meditative state.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Oh, I fished the damn thing and I can't remember that.
- 21:58Speaker 4: You sure?
- 22:00Speaker 1: Where were you?
- 22:01Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I'm just trying to stir up some put yourself back
- 22:06Speaker 1: in your waiting boots for a moment.
- 22:09Speaker 4: This is.
- 22:13Speaker 1: This river, Turquoise Blue, the most heavily fished river in Alaska,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and it produced the world record angler caught king salmon
- 22:22Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Got an answer, you honest, I do.
- 22:28Speaker 5: Have you been there, Yannie?
- 22:30Speaker 1: I have Spencer's got an answer, PONSI got an answer. Oh,
- 22:34Speaker 1: I see you've added a star to I'm trying.
- 22:36Speaker 5: I'm trying to help you.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that give you. That does help? Thank you, Yeah,
- 22:43Speaker 1: it DOESNA say, trust probably has an answer on this one.
- 22:45Speaker 7: I've got a great little story, oh, Melissa about the
- 22:51Speaker 7: the Old River.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Oh, this is brutal.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Randall was actually gonna throw it to you for the
- 22:59Speaker 5: flavor text.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I can, Yeah, why don't I do that? I don't
- 23:04Speaker 1: have much to add, I was gonna, yeah.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Oh, I got some flavor text for you.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Good. Oh this is lovely.
- 23:18Speaker 4: From my angling day.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Cal's got a mark or to a whiteboard here, always
- 23:23Speaker 1: tapping it.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, writing.
- 23:28Speaker 6: I think you can just write in front of everyone.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Now, Oh you're just messing.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm just burning through mark like they're free ramble.
- 23:40Speaker 1: We're going to cut back on the swearing. When I
- 23:43Speaker 1: was looking for when I was looking for listener questions,
- 23:47Speaker 1: I came across an email asking us not to swear
- 23:51Speaker 1: so that the children can listen. And I think that's
- 23:53Speaker 1: a fair point.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Let's curb their growth by keeping them insulated from the
- 23:58Speaker 4: real world good parenting.
- 24:02Speaker 1: I'm a guilty party myself, So you know, cal, are
- 24:06Speaker 1: we gonna get there? Are we gonna.
- 24:09Speaker 6: There's only a few rivers in Alaska?
- 24:13Speaker 4: Just go, just go.
- 24:16Speaker 2: It's honest.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Ke Jewel just says Coutiny, Spencer says Mackenzie, Hansi says Yukon,
- 24:26Speaker 1: and Brodie says Keen.
- 24:27Speaker 3: I wait was a wedding calsa.
- 24:33Speaker 1: The correct answer is the keen.
- 24:35Speaker 4: This record break, Yeah, I wrote nothing, Phil, thanks.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Yeah uh. This record breaking king salmon was caught by
- 24:42Speaker 1: angler Les Anderson. It weighed ninety seven pounds four ounces
- 24:46Speaker 1: and that's forty four point one kilograms for our international friends.
- 24:50Speaker 1: The Kenai River is famous for its distinctive blue color,
- 24:53Speaker 1: which comes from glacial silt and for its exceptional salmon runs.
- 24:57Speaker 1: It's located on the Keenai Peninsula, and Yannis has something
- 25:01Speaker 1: to add.
- 25:03Speaker 7: We spent almost a year living in Fairbanks, and my
- 25:07Speaker 7: in laws flew over to explore a little bit of Alaska.
- 25:10Speaker 7: We did a trip down onto the Kenai Peninsula, did
- 25:13Speaker 7: some backpacking, fished the Anchor River a little bit, and
- 25:18Speaker 7: just sort of as a stopover, we said, oh, we'll
- 25:21Speaker 7: rent a little cabin on the Keni.
- 25:24Speaker 3: We relax a.
- 25:25Speaker 7: Little bit, take showers after you know, our adventures, and
- 25:28Speaker 7: then get up to the anchorage and get a flight out. Well,
- 25:33Speaker 7: we get there and the dude that owns the cabin
- 25:35Speaker 7: lives right next door. And when we get there, he's like, hey,
- 25:38Speaker 7: you guys like to fish. And my brother and I.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Are like, what else do we do in life?
- 25:42Speaker 2: You know?
- 25:43Speaker 7: And he's like, well, the soak are just screaming right now.
- 25:45Speaker 7: Come on, I've got rods and everything we need. And
- 25:47Speaker 7: we're like oh, and we literally didn't even take gear
- 25:51Speaker 7: into the cabin. We walk with this fella down to
- 25:54Speaker 7: the river. The next thing I know, it's two o'clock
- 25:57Speaker 7: in the morning and we've got a cooler full. My
- 26:00Speaker 7: brother in law quit fishing. I was snagging and just
- 26:03Speaker 7: throwing him to him. He was fullying them and just
- 26:05Speaker 7: putting him into the cooler. And by I think we
- 26:07Speaker 7: went to bat somewhere between three and four o'clock in
- 26:09Speaker 7: the morning. It was a great fishing experience. So no rest, no, no.
- 26:15Speaker 7: I might have got a quick shower, but it was
- 26:17Speaker 7: quite fun.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Uh.
- 26:19Speaker 6: There are many people who feel that this record king
- 26:23Speaker 6: salmon record world record will fall to a fisher, to
- 26:27Speaker 6: a to a non native king salmon fishery in South
- 26:30Speaker 6: America right now.
- 26:32Speaker 5: Really interesting.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Interesting, yep.
- 26:36Speaker 6: You may have seen videos of like these eighty pounders
- 26:39Speaker 6: that are being caught down there. They think the next
- 26:41Speaker 6: world records coming from down there.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Trusty, you were very close, but you had It's artificial.
- 26:49Speaker 2: It's artificial.
- 26:49Speaker 6: I think like probably derived from maybe from farming or
- 26:53Speaker 6: just introduced fish.
- 26:54Speaker 2: And I think I could be wrong on this.
- 26:58Speaker 6: I think those fish are coming out of the Atlantic Ocean,
- 27:02Speaker 6: not the Pacific.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Interesting question five.
- 27:06Speaker 1: This question is in the category of gear or maritime freight.
- 27:12Speaker 1: What is the busiest port on the Great Lakes which
- 27:15Speaker 1: shares its name with a square roll top backpack designed
- 27:19Speaker 1: to fit in the bottom of canoes? What is the
- 27:24Speaker 1: busiest port on the Great Lakes which shares its name
- 27:28Speaker 1: with a square roll top backpack designed to fit in
- 27:31Speaker 1: the bottom of canoes? Stumper Randall, anybody do some, if
- 27:40Speaker 1: only some, backcountry canoe trips, real staple of the north Woods.
- 27:50Speaker 4: What the hell are those things?
- 27:53Speaker 1: Just think about your start going through your your Great
- 27:56Speaker 1: Lakes ports, your major ports. That's a hint.
- 28:00Speaker 4: I study those all the time.
- 28:02Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
- 28:03Speaker 1: I just threw that in because I thought it was
- 28:05Speaker 1: a fun tidbit. The question is actually about the packs.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Spencer's writing, HANSI, do you have an answer? Yeah, yeah,
- 28:15Speaker 1: I'm not confident about it, But Spencer's got an answer.
- 28:20Speaker 5: Not confident either. I don't know if this is a
- 28:22Speaker 5: point many canoe trip h It's might be a zero percenter.
- 28:29Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think someone's got it.
- 28:31Speaker 5: In them all these Great Lakes boys in here.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, canoe packs, they fit right in the bottom of
- 28:43Speaker 1: your canoe or all square well roll tops.
- 28:48Speaker 5: Hm.
- 28:51Speaker 1: And I'll read this again because I'm not sure if
- 28:53Speaker 1: I read it again, What is the busiest port on
- 28:56Speaker 1: the Great Lakes which shares its name with a square
- 28:59Speaker 1: roll top backpack designed to fit in the bottom of canoes.
- 29:05Speaker 1: There's some listeners right now.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Oh, just jumping out of their pants.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Yeah, losing it.
- 29:11Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
- 29:12Speaker 4: They would portage their way here and deliver the message
- 29:17Speaker 4: if they could. Do you have an answer, Cal, It's
- 29:21Speaker 4: the wrong answer, you know. It's like this goot, like
- 29:26Speaker 4: we can't tell you how far it is. We have
- 29:28Speaker 4: to tell you how far. And Rods that technic culture,
- 29:31Speaker 4: you know, well is it a mile? Like, well, it's
- 29:34Speaker 4: sixteen rods just drag me insane.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I don't like it.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Oh, Brody suffering are waiting on me.
- 29:43Speaker 1: No, I think Cal and Brody.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I can just.
- 29:51Speaker 4: Haven they ain't got it.
- 29:54Speaker 7: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna write something down.
- 29:56Speaker 4: Once you three go flip them over.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Gang Giannis says Detroit, Cal says Duluth, Melissa says Port. Dry,
- 30:07Speaker 1: Bag says Dry, Spencer says Marias Hansi says Port Huron,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and Brody says Milwaukee. We have a correct answer to
- 30:18Speaker 1: the room. The answer is du Luth. Dang Trading Company.
- 30:26Speaker 4: To Dluth is on fire. I didn't think it was
- 30:32Speaker 4: a busy port.
- 30:33Speaker 1: The Port of Duluth Superior located where Lake Superior meets
- 30:37Speaker 1: the Saint Louis River at the western tip of the
- 30:38Speaker 1: Great Lakes, handles more cargo by tonnage than any other
- 30:42Speaker 1: Great Lakes by tonnage. Yeah, it's everything iron ore, attack pellets,
- 30:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, col grain and other.
- 30:55Speaker 5: Like that.
- 30:55Speaker 1: The Duluth Pack is a square roll top backpack or
- 30:58Speaker 1: bag originally designed to fit in the bottom of canoes.
- 31:01Speaker 1: It's a classic piece of outdoor equipment that dates back
- 31:04Speaker 1: to eighteen eighty two when it was created by Camille
- 31:07Speaker 1: Poier in Duluth, Minnesota. These packs are known for their
- 31:11Speaker 1: durability and become iconic and canoe camping in wilderness exploration,
- 31:15Speaker 1: particularly in the Boundary Waters region.
- 31:18Speaker 4: There's a great, great restaurant next to the Duluth Pack
- 31:22Speaker 4: Company in Duluth that has its own like smokehouse for
- 31:27Speaker 4: Lake spear, whitefish.
- 31:28Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about.
- 31:29Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a killer and lake trout.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Oh man, well, gang, I thought we'd do better on that.
- 31:35Speaker 1: I'm glad it wasn't a zero percenter. We're now halfway
- 31:38Speaker 1: through our game of trivia, and that means it's time
- 31:41Speaker 1: for a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer.
- 31:43Speaker 4: Oh my god, oh if hold on one second on Duluth. Yeah,
- 31:47Speaker 4: hey listeners, TBT. My cousin is going through med school.
- 31:53Speaker 4: She's in Duluth. She needs a job. Just talking.
- 31:56Speaker 1: So if you own a hospital, well.
- 31:59Speaker 4: I mean she just needs to make money. So bakery
- 32:03Speaker 4: just so happens. I mean, I was just talking to
- 32:06Speaker 4: my uncle about this. She needs a job, isn't it
- 32:09Speaker 4: isn't trampled by from Duluth. Yeah, I can get her
- 32:13Speaker 4: concert tickets.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Also, Frank Lloyd Wright like one of the most famous
- 32:18Speaker 5: architects in the world. His only gas station, I think
- 32:21Speaker 5: is located.
- 32:22Speaker 4: We need to move it along.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Spencer, I like better Phil up on this scoreboard.
- 32:29Speaker 3: I'd love to LETSSA. You're on the board with zero points.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Tresa and Spencer have one point apiece. Johannest Cal and
- 32:37Speaker 3: HANSI are all tied up with two and the only
- 32:39Speaker 3: person that's lining up with the Sydney Index so far
- 32:42Speaker 3: is Brody Henderson. He has three points at halftime.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Interesting, gang not remember the KENI it's competitive here, it's
- 32:51Speaker 1: competitive game. I'm really excited for the second half. Question
- 32:55Speaker 1: six comes to us in the category of hunting. What
- 32:59Speaker 1: class hunting bullet first tested by John Nosler in nineteen
- 33:04Speaker 1: forty seven, gets its name from the internal structure that
- 33:08Speaker 1: divides its two lead cores. What classic hunting bullet, first
- 33:15Speaker 1: tested by John Nosler in nineteen forty seven, gets its
- 33:20Speaker 1: name from the internal structure that divides its two lead cores.
- 33:27Speaker 6: Shot cup critters bullets still a great bullet?
- 33:32Speaker 1: It is a great bullet, Cal, do you have an answer?
- 33:36Speaker 4: I'll tell you. Guys said great bullet.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Don't besmirch John Nosler's legacy here, Cal, It's tried and true.
- 33:47Speaker 7: I can, I think recount his story of what made
- 33:51Speaker 7: him the hull that made him want to let this bullet.
- 33:56Speaker 1: I'll let you do the flavor text and then I'll
- 33:59Speaker 1: check it against my flavor text. Just a fun little
- 34:03Speaker 1: game of having other people do the the flavor text.
- 34:08Speaker 4: Why I having a hard time with that? An having
- 34:10Speaker 4: annurinism or something.
- 34:12Speaker 3: John Nosler would be a great name for like and
- 34:15Speaker 3: that would have been in a seventies and.
- 34:19Speaker 4: John Nossler? How do you think he got a seed
- 34:23Speaker 4: money for the Bowler Company? Very money? M this is
- 34:32Speaker 4: a good kid's episode. What were you saying, Melissa.
- 34:36Speaker 3: I don't know this one.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I tried to I tried to get Sydney. I tried
- 34:42Speaker 1: to lead her into this one.
- 34:44Speaker 7: I hope your son's not gonna say, Mom, this is
- 34:47Speaker 7: what I shot my giant bowl with.
- 34:53Speaker 1: No, but it's not, oh, you know, no. But I'm
- 34:56Speaker 1: just thinking about how far away that bowl was.
- 34:58Speaker 4: Wouldn't have been a good Joe, wouldn't have.
- 35:00Speaker 1: A good choice. Although they are at the front, half is.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Spencer is still right.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Excuse me, I didn't mean to clear my throat into
- 35:11Speaker 1: the microphone.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Well, Steve really opened the damn on that one.
- 35:17Speaker 4: In a New World.
- 35:18Speaker 5: Game, Spencer, Yeah done.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Are we ready to flip over? Flip over? Gang? Youre honest?
- 35:28Speaker 1: Showed to me partition. Calus says partition. Alyssa no answer,
- 35:33Speaker 1: trusted the Nozzler. Spencer no answer. Hansi says nozzler, partition.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Brody says partition. The correct answer is partition.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:47Speaker 7: I believe John Nozzleer was shooting at a mud caked
- 35:50Speaker 7: moose if I remember correctly, and was wailing away and
- 35:56Speaker 7: nothing was dying. And I can't remember if he recovered
- 35:59Speaker 7: that moose or not, but he came home and said,
- 36:02Speaker 7: I got to make something better.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Shot at seven times on a Mooselam in British Columbia
- 36:07Speaker 1: with a three hundred h and h mind you. The
- 36:11Speaker 1: partition gets its name from the unique internal copper partition
- 36:15Speaker 1: that separates the front and rear lead cores of the bullet.
- 36:18Speaker 1: This innovative design was revolutionary for hunting ammunition because it
- 36:22Speaker 1: allowed for controlled expansion while maintaining weight retention. The front
- 36:26Speaker 1: core is designed to expand upon impact for tissue damage,
- 36:28Speaker 1: while the partition prevents the bullet from breaking apart completely.
- 36:32Speaker 1: The rear core remains intact and ensures deep penetration and
- 36:36Speaker 1: energy transfer.
- 36:38Speaker 4: I would take the acubond over the partition one thousand
- 36:42Speaker 4: percent of the time.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I've killed a lot of stuff with acubonds. Killed my
- 36:47Speaker 1: first elk with a partition. I killed one of my
- 36:51Speaker 1: first partitions. Actually, it resembled John Nosler's scenario.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Yeah, and the fact that the bullet breaks apart was
- 36:59Speaker 4: the thing that made me be like, I don't want
- 37:01Speaker 4: to shoot, but it.
- 37:02Speaker 6: Doesn't only the front end breaks apart.
- 37:05Speaker 4: Yeah, But I found a pedal that peeled off and
- 37:08Speaker 4: literally like tumbled down the loin and I was like, oh,
- 37:12Speaker 4: this defeated the purpose of killing this year.
- 37:14Speaker 6: Oh no, bullet's been around for I shot my first along.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I shot my first.
- 37:23Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty grain partitions out of a two
- 37:25Speaker 1: seventy shout it a lot of times.
- 37:28Speaker 5: Salisbury Steak fans.
- 37:30Speaker 1: South Very steak exactly pre ground Question seven. This is
- 37:35Speaker 1: comes to us from the realm of woodsmanship, and I'm
- 37:39Speaker 1: going to use the word realm again in this question.
- 37:41Speaker 1: In the realm of wilderness medicine, what do the letters
- 37:45Speaker 1: h A stand for in acronyms like the conditions haste
- 37:49Speaker 1: and hate which occurred to travelers in mountainous terrain? What
- 37:56Speaker 1: do the letters h A stand for in acronyms like
- 38:00Speaker 1: h A ce and h a pe which occur to
- 38:04Speaker 1: travelers in mountainous terrain? See some writing on the boards here.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I can tell you the last two letters, can you really?
- 38:17Speaker 5: But I can't remember the first two?
- 38:20Speaker 3: Mmmm.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Well that doesn't get me any points, but you can
- 38:24Speaker 1: do the flavor text. If you've maybe seen the movie
- 38:30Speaker 1: K two with Chris O'Donnell, Oh, I gotcha, gotcha. This
- 38:34Speaker 1: this condition plays a prominent role in the plot of
- 38:37Speaker 1: that movie, along with the drug dexamethasone. Hmm, just a
- 38:43Speaker 1: cordericow steroid.
- 38:44Speaker 5: It would be the first time of confident. I'm not
- 38:45Speaker 5: even that confident.
- 38:46Speaker 1: I think do we all? Broody's writing no, cals Cal's
- 38:54Speaker 1: reconsidering his answer this question seven, Phil, it is Chris
- 39:00Speaker 1: O'Donnell in K two, isn't it?
- 39:02Speaker 3: Oh, you're asking the wrong guy.
- 39:04Speaker 5: I'd say, he's exactly the right guy.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Why don't we? Are we ready to flip the boards over? Col?
- 39:12Speaker 1: Flip him over?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Gang?
- 39:15Speaker 1: You're honest? Everybody except for Tresta says high altitude. I like, hasty, Bill,
- 39:22Speaker 1: I like the correct answer is high altitude HANSI, what
- 39:27Speaker 1: are the other two letters? Pulmonary edema and cerebral okay?
- 39:33Speaker 2: Okay? Uh.
- 39:35Speaker 1: High altitude cerebral edemon and high altitude pulmonary edema are
- 39:39Speaker 1: serious medical conditions that can affect people traveling in mountainous regions.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Both HASTE and HAPE are potentially life threatening and can
- 39:46Speaker 1: develop when people ascend to high elevations too quickly without
- 39:49Speaker 1: proper acclimization. HACE involves swelling of brain tissue due to
- 39:54Speaker 1: fluid liquid leakage, while HAPE involves fluid accumulation in the lungs.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Both require immediate medical attention and descent to lower elevations.
- 40:04Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's the beauty is like you get them
- 40:07Speaker 4: to lower elevations. That's the first.
- 40:09Speaker 1: First thing nature provides the cure.
- 40:12Speaker 3: It looks like Chris o'donald is not in K two
- 40:14Speaker 3: The Ultimate High Michael A bunch of people who are
- 40:18Speaker 3: just not in the public consciousness anymore. But Michael Bean,
- 40:22Speaker 3: Matt Craven.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Is Chris o donald in any sort of mountain movie?
- 40:25Speaker 3: You know, I'll do some more research check that.
- 40:27Speaker 1: I can just picture Chris o'donald up in the mountains
- 40:34Speaker 1: in any event. Question eight. In the realm of fishing,
- 40:40Speaker 1: what is the common term for a four sided lead
- 40:43Speaker 1: weight with a point at one end, often used by
- 40:47Speaker 1: shore anglers for fishing stationary baits? What is the common
- 40:52Speaker 1: term for a four sided lead weight with a point
- 40:56Speaker 1: at one end, often used by shore anglers for fishing
- 41:00Speaker 1: stationary baits? Quick answer out of Brody. I put this
- 41:05Speaker 1: one for question eight instead of question ten. I see
- 41:08Speaker 1: that to keep things interesting. The answer from Spencer.
- 41:13Speaker 3: Here, Uh, randall, you were thinking of the film Vertical Limit.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Yeah, God, embarrassing.
- 41:25Speaker 4: We can't forget Cliffhanger amongst that genre. Yeah, that's a fantastic,
- 41:30Speaker 4: is it is? And then what's the Clint Eastwood Mountain
- 41:33Speaker 4: climbing a movie where the Eiger sanction?
- 41:35Speaker 5: There is.
- 41:38Speaker 2: One?
- 41:38Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they made they made it. The more
- 41:40Speaker 1: recent one is the movie of Everest, about the John
- 41:44Speaker 1: Krack hour, about the ninety six Everest disaster. But I
- 41:47Speaker 1: never saw it.
- 41:48Speaker 3: I think I had a restack dah.
- 41:51Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got in there.
- 41:52Speaker 1: It's low.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Benicio del Toro might be in it.
- 41:55Speaker 1: I don't know who plays Beck Weathers is it?
- 41:58Speaker 4: Is it j Jail Halls in there?
- 42:00Speaker 1: Yeah, Beck weathers Is. I don't think he plays oh Beck.
- 42:06Speaker 1: But it's a good actor.
- 42:07Speaker 5: Trust me, I trust you.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Phill you on IMDb right now.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:13Speaker 1: In the meantime, why don't we flip over our boards?
- 42:16Speaker 1: Gang Gianna says pyramid, Cal says pyramid, List says dead weight,
- 42:24Speaker 1: Trust says crank, Spencer says pyramid, Hansi says pyramid, and
- 42:28Speaker 1: Brodie says pyramid. The correct answer is pyramid. Sure. Anglers
- 42:33Speaker 1: typically use pyramid sinkers because the pointed design helps anchor
- 42:37Speaker 1: the weight in sand or mud, preventing it from rolling
- 42:39Speaker 1: in surf or current. This allows for a more stationary
- 42:42Speaker 1: bait presentation while fishing from beaches, piers or banks. I
- 42:47Speaker 1: have lost a great number of pyramid sinkers by snagging
- 42:50Speaker 1: them on the bottom of the Little Miami River. M guys,
- 42:54Speaker 1: you guys ever use pyramid sinkers?
- 42:56Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 42:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I feel like that's something the host does
- 43:00Speaker 1: Little Miami.
- 43:01Speaker 5: That's in Ohio, right, Yes, yes, we are you catching there? Catfish?
- 43:04Speaker 1: Catfish? Oh? Anything you want? Catfish, carp drum.
- 43:08Speaker 5: That's not quite anything I want?
- 43:11Speaker 1: Phil, what are we doing on beck Weathers?
- 43:14Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking up the cast for the twenty fifteen
- 43:16Speaker 3: film Everest, just because I remember there have been a
- 43:19Speaker 3: lot of it. Was Josh Brolin, I was, I was
- 43:22Speaker 3: giving some Yeah, jast Night lost.
- 43:29Speaker 1: No, Phil, We've got two questions left. How about a
- 43:33Speaker 1: scoreboard update, as is customary and in fact required by
- 43:36Speaker 1: Spencer's hosting guidelines.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I would love to Randall, whoa look at this game.
- 43:41Speaker 3: Everyone's on the board. Alyssa and Testa have one point.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Damn Spencer falling from the last game. He's got three.
- 43:48Speaker 3: But the players left in the game after question eight
- 43:52Speaker 3: are Yannis cal and Hansei with five and Brody Henderson
- 43:55Speaker 3: in first place with six.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Points.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Now, for those of you falling along at home, my
- 44:02Speaker 1: average winning answer score is an eight. So if Brody
- 44:05Speaker 1: gets the next two questions correct, we'll be hitting that
- 44:08Speaker 1: right on the nose. That's what you look for in
- 44:11Speaker 1: a host, Just solid, reliable. Question nine, yep, Spencer. Question nine.
- 44:19Speaker 1: This is in the realm of public lands under the
- 44:25Speaker 1: public Land Survey System? How many six hundred forty acre
- 44:29Speaker 1: sections make up a township? Under the public Land Survey System?
- 44:36Speaker 1: How many six hundred forty acre sections make up a township?
- 44:42Speaker 1: A lot of stumped faces in the room. Phil, Who
- 44:47Speaker 1: did Jillenhall play?
- 44:49Speaker 3: He played Scott Fisher?
- 44:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Under the public Lands Survey System, how many
- 44:59Speaker 1: six h you know acre sections make up a township? No, guys, ever,
- 45:05Speaker 1: you ever turned on the township the section township range
- 45:09Speaker 1: filter on your.
- 45:10Speaker 2: On X Yes.
- 45:11Speaker 5: No, But before on X like got to the states
- 45:15Speaker 5: that I really cared about, I owned a stock of
- 45:18Speaker 5: a stack of plat books like that. Those were so
- 45:22Speaker 5: valuable to me. That's what I'd asked for for Christmas,
- 45:25Speaker 5: so that Santa usually did pretty good. There's still somewhere around.
- 45:31Speaker 5: But then on X made them irrelevant.
- 45:33Speaker 1: What did the Santa at the mall. Kind of look
- 45:35Speaker 1: did he give you when you showed up with a
- 45:37Speaker 1: list of quadrangle maps?
- 45:38Speaker 5: You said, what's the plat book? So I'm guessing based
- 45:43Speaker 5: on that, but I don't know.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Spencer, Hansei Brodie have answers. Oh, Hanse doesn't have an answer.
- 45:49Speaker 1: God the reverse to the Whitebore got me again. Joannis
- 45:52Speaker 1: is an answer. Cal I wrote something, He's got something
- 45:56Speaker 1: down trust and Alyssa.
- 45:58Speaker 5: I'm nostalgic for those play book days that made it
- 46:01Speaker 5: a lot harder to track down the right person. But
- 46:05Speaker 5: you can't beat on.
- 46:06Speaker 1: X Well Gang Hansie. You know I'm not trying to
- 46:12Speaker 1: pressure you. I just I feel like earlier, I feel
- 46:16Speaker 1: like when we were two questions in this episode, people
- 46:18Speaker 1: will giving me a hard time for taking too long.
- 46:21Speaker 1: And now we're at question nine and I'm really feeling
- 46:23Speaker 1: the heap. Well, I think this has gone.
- 46:25Speaker 7: Well for the because I hosted so long. We're running
- 46:29Speaker 7: into lunchtime and I think you're getting a little anger response.
- 46:33Speaker 1: I've got some I've got some meatballs upstairs. I'm gonna
- 46:35Speaker 1: dig into go to chain meatballs.
- 46:37Speaker 7: I've got some Mallard duck legs.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Why don't we flip them over. Gang honest says one
- 46:43Speaker 1: hundred Cols is ten Alyssa one, Tresa one, Spencer thirty two,
- 46:50Speaker 1: Hansey twenty four, Brody twenty five. Gang, that's a zero
- 46:54Speaker 1: percenter real close. The answer is thirty six. The public
- 47:00Speaker 1: land Survey system established by the Land Ordinance of seventeen
- 47:03Speaker 1: eighty five, a township contains thirty six sections, with each
- 47:07Speaker 1: section being one hundred or excuse me, six hundred and
- 47:10Speaker 1: forty acres. The standard township is six miles by six
- 47:13Speaker 1: miles square. It's divided into thirty cententy said that sections
- 47:19Speaker 1: within a township are numbered in a specific pattern, starting
- 47:22Speaker 1: with Section one in in the northeast corner, and then
- 47:24Speaker 1: proceeding west to Section six, then south and east to
- 47:27Speaker 1: Section twelve, then west to Section eighteen, and so on
- 47:30Speaker 1: in alternating patterns, with Section thirty six being in the
- 47:34Speaker 1: southeast corner. Now, what's interesting to know is that states
- 47:39Speaker 1: received certain numbers of sections from each township as state
- 47:43Speaker 1: trust lands to support public education and other designated beneficiaries.
- 47:48Speaker 5: It was like sixteen and thirty two two.
- 47:51Speaker 1: It's different between the states. The next sentence, these allotments
- 47:55Speaker 1: varied and became increasingly more generous as new states were
- 47:57Speaker 1: admitted to the Union. For instance, Congress granted on Tana
- 48:00Speaker 1: and Idaho section sixteen and thirty six of each township.
- 48:03Speaker 1: Will New Mexico and Arizona received two sixteen, thirty two
- 48:07Speaker 1: and thirty six.
- 48:09Speaker 5: So as the country grew west, I think Ohio was
- 48:12Speaker 5: a bad example of like they sold all their school
- 48:14Speaker 5: lands almost immediately, and so then they're like, all right,
- 48:17Speaker 5: we got to make sure folks have these things and
- 48:20Speaker 5: use them. And so that was how the school trust
- 48:23Speaker 5: lands came about.
- 48:24Speaker 1: And I would say some of us US meeting Americans
- 48:28Speaker 1: are still trying to get rid of these school trust lands.
- 48:32Speaker 1: As we speak.
- 48:33Speaker 5: School trust and trust lands are a little weird and
- 48:35Speaker 5: that I think their objective is to like make as
- 48:38Speaker 5: much money as possible, which can lead to things like
- 48:41Speaker 5: sales if they decide, like, our best use of this
- 48:44Speaker 5: thing would be to sell it. I you know, certain
- 48:47Speaker 5: states the way.
- 48:48Speaker 1: They're they're yeah, they're a rid to manage them for
- 48:52Speaker 1: maximum yield.
- 48:53Speaker 5: Yeah, so's it's unique versus the other public lands we're familiar.
- 48:57Speaker 4: Like if your brain functions in a way to where
- 48:59Speaker 4: you're like land doesn't grow in value we're making more land.
- 49:05Speaker 4: I'm sure somewhere. Sure, then it makes sense to sell
- 49:10Speaker 4: m if you can wrap your head around that.
- 49:13Speaker 7: I thought you didn't want to get political in this episode, Randall.
- 49:16Speaker 1: This is in politics. Is just American? Oh, this is
- 49:19Speaker 1: just America.
- 49:20Speaker 4: For those of us at this table in the state
- 49:22Speaker 4: of Montana, one point two five million acres? Ye, right now,
- 49:25Speaker 4: what they're trying to sell right now? That quote unquote
- 49:29Speaker 4: fair market value. Now, before we go, the same suns
- 49:33Speaker 4: of guns. Like every time there's an easement bill in
- 49:37Speaker 4: this state, groups show up and they say, hey, we
- 49:42Speaker 4: can't give an easement in perpetuity because it's based on
- 49:46Speaker 4: fair market value, and we can't see into the future.
- 49:51Speaker 4: So how could you ever come up with what's fair
- 49:54Speaker 4: right now for the future. Those same people right now
- 49:58Speaker 4: are saying, hey, let's sell one point two five million
- 50:00Speaker 4: acres based on fair market value. And it drives me insane. Now,
- 50:05Speaker 4: before we go to our Oh no, we've got another question.
- 50:14Speaker 7: I know, but I don't think anybody can. Somebody can, Yeah, yeah,
- 50:20Speaker 7: let's all right, let's keep playing.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Before we go to our final question, here's a quick
- 50:24Speaker 1: rundown of the correct answers for you folks playing along
- 50:27Speaker 1: number one, Humble number two, who for who could forget
- 50:30Speaker 1: Salisbury Steak number three, Minnesota number four, keen I number five,
- 50:36Speaker 1: Duluth number six, Partition number seven, High Altitude number eight,
- 50:41Speaker 1: Pyramid number nine thirty six. Now the score at this
- 50:48Speaker 1: point is Brody six, Hansi five, Cow five, Jannis five.
- 50:52Speaker 1: So this last question really could send us six.
- 50:58Speaker 5: And then you got that one wrong.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Wait, that's great.
- 51:01Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a zero percenter classic one.
- 51:06Speaker 1: So this is a really important question, is my point
- 51:09Speaker 1: for them? And I think you're gonna like it. This
- 51:13Speaker 1: is our listener Question of the Week from Brian Green.
- 51:17Speaker 1: For submitting this great question, Brian will receive a board
- 51:20Speaker 1: game signed by the crew and if you want a
- 51:22Speaker 1: chance to win Listener Question of the Week, then send
- 51:24Speaker 1: your question to Trivia at the meat Eater dot com.
- 51:29Speaker 1: This last question comes to us in the realm of cooking,
- 51:34Speaker 1: what nine letter side dish, which gets its name from
- 51:38Speaker 1: the Algonquin tribes of New England, can be described as
- 51:41Speaker 1: a medley of grains, legumes, vegetables, and sometimes meats. Most
- 51:46Speaker 1: common ingredients include sweetcorn, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. Whatnot? We
- 51:53Speaker 1: got a lot oh I didn't think that many people
- 51:55Speaker 1: jump on their boards. What nine letters side gets its
- 52:01Speaker 1: name from the Algonquin tribes of New England can be
- 52:06Speaker 1: described as a medley of grains, legumes, vegetables, and sometimes meats.
- 52:13Speaker 1: Most common ingredients include sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. Hmmm,
- 52:22Speaker 1: sounds good.
- 52:27Speaker 5: You write the longest questions of any host, Randall. You've
- 52:30Speaker 5: got you've cornered that market.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Well, this was written by Brian Green, and that's why
- 52:36Speaker 1: it's our listener question of the week. I just think, yeah, more.
- 52:39Speaker 4: Bang for the buck for the listener. Longer the question,
- 52:42Speaker 4: I believe.
- 52:43Speaker 1: I added the most common ingredients at the end as
- 52:46Speaker 1: a as a little I didn't think it would. I
- 52:49Speaker 1: didn't think it was easy enough with it.
- 52:50Speaker 6: It's a good idea to write the question so long
- 52:53Speaker 6: that my time, Randall gets to the end of the question.
- 52:56Speaker 6: You forgot what the beginning was about.
- 53:02Speaker 1: How many sections are in a township?
- 53:04Speaker 4: Thirty six?
- 53:05Speaker 1: See variety. That's what you're looking for in a host.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Variety and length of questions.
- 53:14Speaker 5: Does anybody know this?
- 53:15Speaker 2: I do.
- 53:16Speaker 1: Brody knows it.
- 53:17Speaker 5: Brody's gonna win if he thinks, you know.
- 53:19Speaker 1: If he's wrong, though, maybe Yannis knows it.
- 53:22Speaker 2: I think I got a feeling, honest knows.
- 53:25Speaker 7: I had a word come into my brain and has
- 53:28Speaker 7: nine letters in it. I think I'm going for it.
- 53:32Speaker 1: I really liked Brian's question. He submitted too, and I
- 53:35Speaker 1: forget what the other one was, but this one really
- 53:37Speaker 1: stood out to me. It's a great question.
- 53:39Speaker 7: I wish when they wrote in though, they provided a
- 53:41Speaker 7: little flavor text too.
- 53:43Speaker 1: Let me I was going to get to that. Brian
- 53:45Speaker 1: provided me with some flavor.
- 53:47Speaker 5: Text, like like a page and a half, three pages
- 53:52Speaker 5: of flavor text. I'll have people send in entire scripts.
- 53:55Speaker 2: Well, here you go, Okay.
- 53:56Speaker 1: Yeah, don no, no, Brian, Brian sent him flavor text
- 54:01Speaker 1: and even included a link to a recipe on the
- 54:05Speaker 1: meat eater dot com.
- 54:07Speaker 5: Wow, this one, right.
- 54:10Speaker 1: You never know, do you know what every recipe on
- 54:12Speaker 1: the media familiar?
- 54:13Speaker 6: You didn't like this stuff when I was a little
- 54:16Speaker 6: all right, I.
- 54:17Speaker 4: Guess I don't know if I've ever had it.
- 54:19Speaker 1: Why don't we flip them over? Yannis says sack attash,
- 54:24Speaker 1: Cal says suck attash, Melissa says gulash tress cowboy Caviar,
- 54:30Speaker 1: Spencer says cornucopia. Hansey says suck attash. Brody says suck attacks.
- 54:36Speaker 5: Got who spelled it right?
- 54:39Speaker 8: Uh?
- 54:40Speaker 1: You you did? No one else didn't put that. Let's see,
- 54:46Speaker 1: let's see what is What is that s u c
- 54:48Speaker 1: C s U c C I had to suck Attash
- 54:56Speaker 1: comes from the Narragansett word suck with tash, which was
- 55:01Speaker 1: described by British explorer John Carver in seventeen eighty seven
- 55:04Speaker 1: as quote, unripe corn and beans in the same state,
- 55:07Speaker 1: boiled together with bear's flesh, the fat of which moistens
- 55:11Speaker 1: the pulse and renders it beyond comparison delicious. I got
- 55:16Speaker 1: that from Brian. This next bit, I added, I can't wait.
- 55:20Speaker 4: To use that. You know that dinner was lovely. It
- 55:24Speaker 4: really moistened my pulse.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Yes.
- 55:27Speaker 1: Famously, the Looney Tunes and Mary Melodies character Sylvester J.
- 55:31Speaker 1: Pussycat would often exclaim suffering suck atash when he was frustrated,
- 55:35Speaker 1: especially during his failed attempts to catch Tweetybird. The phrase
- 55:39Speaker 1: became one of his most recognizable catchphrases, along with his
- 55:43Speaker 1: characteristic lisp. For a suck attash recipe, check out Wade
- 55:47Speaker 1: Trong's recipe for miso butter based in Kobia with summer
- 55:50Speaker 1: suck Atash on the meat eater dot.
- 55:52Speaker 5: Com Good Flavor text.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian killed it.
- 55:56Speaker 4: I thought suck Tash had squash are I think it can.
- 56:02Speaker 5: Have whatever you want.
- 56:02Speaker 1: You can have whatever you want, be corn I was.
- 56:05Speaker 5: I liked that.
- 56:06Speaker 1: I thought that was the big thing is you have
- 56:09Speaker 1: some carbs and you have some whatever beans are you know? Yeah,
- 56:16Speaker 1: there's some there's some magical combination of nutrition. Brody, if
- 56:23Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, you are the winner of this game
- 56:25Speaker 1: of meat Eater Trivia to what worthy cause? Would you
