- 0:10Speaker 1: Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where
- 0:12Speaker 1: conservation always wins. There is a prize. Meat Eater will
- 0:16Speaker 1: donate $ 500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis, Brody, Randall, Brianna...
- 0:25Speaker 1: Laura and Dane, this is a 10-round quiz show with
- 0:28Speaker 1: questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and cooking. Meat Eater Trivia is brought to you by
- 0:34Speaker 1: one of my favorite beers, Bush Light. Bush Light, head
- 0:37Speaker 1: for the mountains. All right, we're starting today with a
- 0:39Speaker 1: mailbag question. If you have a question you want the
- 0:42Speaker 1: trivia crew to answer, then send your question with the
- 0:44Speaker 1: subject line mailbag to trivia at themeatteater.com. All right, this
- 0:48Speaker 1: is a long one. It's from Levi from Fort Collins.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I wasn't raised in a sportsman's family, but over the
- 0:53Speaker 1: last two years, I've picked up archery elk hunting and
- 0:56Speaker 1: have really come to love it. The one thing I
- 0:57Speaker 1: haven't found, however, is anyone to enjoy it with. It
- 1:00Speaker 1: seems like so much of hunting is meant to be
- 1:02Speaker 1: shared the successes and failures, the stories around the campfire,
- 1:06Speaker 1: and even the whole lot of nothing that happens on
- 1:08Speaker 1: an elk hunt. I can handle and even appreciate a
- 1:11Speaker 1: couple of days and nights away from my wife, kids,
- 1:13Speaker 1: and folks in general. But as a pretty social person,
- 1:16Speaker 1: I often find myself wishing I had someone there to
- 1:18Speaker 1: hunt with and talk to. So I'm looking for some
- 1:21Speaker 1: advice on how to deal with the loneliness of solo
- 1:24Speaker 1: hunting for extended periods. Yanni just got home from how
- 1:29Speaker 1: many days?
- 1:29Speaker 2: So he's not looking for a way to find a
- 1:32Speaker 2: hunting partner. He's just looking for a way to battle
- 1:35Speaker 2: the loneliness.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Which is great.
- 1:36Speaker 1: It sounds like Levi is hoping a hunting partner comes
- 1:38Speaker 1: around someday. I'm guessing that's the ideal scenario. But for now,
- 1:41Speaker 1: he's accepted. He's just going to be by himself out there.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Get through the lonely, boring patches.
- 1:45Speaker 4: That's hard for him.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Yanni just got home from a 20-day elk hunt, right?
- 1:49Speaker 1: You and one cameraman, right?
- 1:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't solo.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Come on. But if you were solo, how would you
- 1:54Speaker 1: kill that time on 20 days?
- 1:57Speaker 2: Certainly reading material I think is a great way to go.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Small paperbacks. That's what they were made for.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Yeah, or just these days download it to your phone.
- 2:11Speaker 2: I actually, even with having a camera guy with me
- 2:15Speaker 2: the whole time, I read a couple volumes of John
- 2:18Speaker 2: Eberhardt's new DIY Whitetail books.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Okay.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So you were looking for elk.
- 2:23Speaker 6: A couple volumes.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And reading about whitetails.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Wow.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a three-volume set.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:26Speaker 7: The one that just came out.
- 2:27Speaker 5: So you read two-thirds of it.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:30Speaker 5: That's nice.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yeah, large print, short books, it's not too hard to do.
- 2:37Speaker 2: What else would I do to kill it? Probably find
- 2:40Speaker 2: a spot with some cell service, call home every now
- 2:42Speaker 2: and then.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Yanni's just telling you to be on your phone more
- 2:46Speaker 1: out there.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and stay busy.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:51Speaker 4: You know, take naps.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Stay busy by taking naps.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Well, you do both.
- 2:57Speaker 1: There you go. What other advice do we have for Levi?
- 3:00Speaker 3: Man, go into town once in a while.
- 3:02Speaker 1: There you go.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Get a burger, whatever.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Talk to some weirdos.
- 3:05Speaker 8: There's no, like, I don't know, like, if he's hunting, like,
- 3:08Speaker 8: a week at a time alone or whatever, but, like,
- 3:12Speaker 8: I mean, unless you're more than, I don't know, three,
- 3:16Speaker 8: four hours away from home, you can hunt for a
- 3:19Speaker 8: couple days and go home and go back.
- 3:21Speaker 3: You know, archery season's long.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Not with these gas prices.
- 3:25Speaker 3: True.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Most places, you're within, like, 30 minutes of a bar
- 3:29Speaker 1: that serves burgers. bush light and burgers and you go
- 3:32Speaker 1: in there and you'll meet some locals, you'll meet some
- 3:33Speaker 1: other hunters. Maybe you'll meet a landowner, the right landowner.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I like Brody's advice. Go into town, have a bush
- 3:40Speaker 1: light and a burger. What else we got for Levi? Randall?
- 3:44Speaker 9: Just bring a big book. Just bring a big book
- 3:48Speaker 9: that you wouldn't read under any other circumstances.
- 3:51Speaker 5: It's the only thing you have.
- 3:53Speaker 10: Like mind games or like puzzles, like a Sudoku puzzle.
- 3:57Speaker 1: There you go.
- 3:58Speaker 9: Sudoku, whatever.
- 3:59Speaker 1: If that passes the time.
- 4:00Speaker 9: One thing I find myself doing is revisiting all of
- 4:03Speaker 9: the choices I've made in my life.
- 4:06Speaker 1: That's nice.
- 4:06Speaker 3: That can make a hunt longer.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 9: Just evaluating what the decisions I made and how they've
- 4:13Speaker 9: led to where I am now.
- 4:14Speaker 8: If all the elk are hanging out on private, just
- 4:16Speaker 8: walk down there across that ranch and talk to the rancher.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Yeah. Go to the meedeater.com slash games. We have games
- 4:23Speaker 1: three days a week. You can play crosswords, word search,

- 5:15Speaker 2: Yeah, which is just a crazy prize package with the

- 5:56Speaker 1: Yeah, you can just go enter, or for every $ 25
- 5:59Speaker 1: you spend, you get 20 additional entries instead of 10
- 6:03Speaker 1: for this week. The giveaway goes now through October 12th.
- 6:09Speaker 1: $ 23, 000 in prizes we have, with the big one being
- 6:12Speaker 1: that guided hunt at Jordan Budd's place. Whitetail Week happening
- 6:16Speaker 1: right now. All right, we now have some housekeeping on
- 6:19Speaker 1: a previous episode. I had a question about which of
- 6:22Speaker 1: these world record bass is biggest between meanmouth bass, rock bass,
- 6:26Speaker 1: white bass, and spotted bass. The correct answer was meanmouth
- 6:30Speaker 1: bass with the world record weight of eight and a
- 6:32Speaker 1: half pounds. And in the flavor text, I said how
- 6:34Speaker 1: the spotted bass world record is two and a half pounds. Well,
- 6:37Speaker 1: a whole bunch of listeners wrote in telling me I
- 6:39Speaker 1: was wrong and multiple said that they themselves have caught
- 6:43Speaker 1: spotted bass bigger than that. Here's what those listeners are missing.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Two years ago, The International Game Fish Association, the definitive
- 6:50Speaker 1: record keeper of world record fish, made an announcement that
- 6:54Speaker 1: spotted bass records are changing due to new science. Here
- 6:58Speaker 1: is part of that press release. Quote, the IGFA is
- 7:01Speaker 1: pleased to announce significant updates to bass record categories based
- 7:06Speaker 1: on the latest scientific findings. These changes rooted in comprehensive
- 7:10Speaker 1: research and conservation efforts. underscore the IGFA's commitment to maintaining
- 7:15Speaker 1: accurate and current records for game fish species, ensuring a
- 7:19Speaker 1: thriving future for the sport. The research highlighted several key findings,
- 7:23Speaker 1: particularly concerning the spotted bass and its close relative, the
- 7:27Speaker 1: Alabama bass. The study confirmed that many records previously attributed
- 7:32Speaker 1: to spotted bass were in fact Alabama bass. Consequently, the
- 7:36Speaker 1: IGFA has corrected these records to reflect accurate species identification.
- 7:42Speaker 1: End of quote. So with these revised records, the spotted
- 7:46Speaker 1: bass world record is a two and a half pound
- 7:48Speaker 1: fish that was caught in Texas. And the Alabama bass
- 7:51Speaker 1: world record is an 11 pound fish that was caught
- 7:53Speaker 1: in California. That 11 pounder used to be the world
- 7:57Speaker 1: record spotted bass until 2024 research showed that it wasn't
- 8:02Speaker 1: actually a spotted bass at all. And all that means
- 8:04Speaker 1: that the eight and a half pound world record mean
- 8:06Speaker 1: mouth is bigger than the other records mentioned in the question.
- 8:11Speaker 8: Wow.
- 8:12Speaker 1: So there we go.
- 8:12Speaker 4: So take that.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It was the most feedback I've ever gotten on a
- 8:16Speaker 1: single question. Is that right? Probably the meanest feedback. Yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm not going to be mean to these listeners. I'm
- 8:21Speaker 1: not going to call them dumb. I'm not going to
- 8:23Speaker 1: call them idiots. I'm not going to call them ignorant.
- 8:24Speaker 4: I will.
- 8:25Speaker 1: They were calling me. But there you go.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Yeah, that was really controversial.
- 8:29Speaker 1: A lot of feedback. People were even mean to Seth.
- 8:32Speaker 1: And just because Seth didn't question me hard enough, they
- 8:34Speaker 1: were like, how did Seth?
- 8:36Speaker 5: Monsters.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Not just punch him in the face when he gave
- 8:38Speaker 1: that inaccurate information.
- 8:39Speaker 9: I figured there was some explanation for it, but I
- 8:42Speaker 9: also figured everybody else, there were enough people angry that
- 8:46Speaker 9: there was more to it than that.
- 8:48Speaker 1: So close the book.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Boy, this is fascinating. All right.
- 8:51Speaker 1: The Shelby index for today is a four. So our
- 8:53Speaker 1: winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're
- 8:56Speaker 1: onto the game of trivia.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Play the drop, Phil.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Look, I need to know what I stand to win
- 9:03Speaker 1: to everything.
- 9:05Speaker 5: Poor Seth. How's that? It's time to win everything.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Game on, suckers!
- 9:17Speaker 1: Question one, the topic is hunting. And this will be
- 9:19Speaker 1: multiple choice. Which of these states has the highest wild
- 9:23Speaker 1: turkey population? Is it Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho, or Maine? Of
- 9:33Speaker 1: those states... Which has the most wild turkeys? Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho, Maine.
- 9:47Speaker 1: No quick answers on this one. Question one. Which of
- 9:52Speaker 1: these states has the highest wild turkey population? Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho, Maine. Brianna, Brody, Randall.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Laura all locked in their answers. Yanni still thinking. Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho,
- 10:14Speaker 1: or Maine. Is everybody ready?
- 10:16Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brianna says Maine, Laura, Virginia, Randall, Virginia, Dane, Idaho, Yanni, Virginia, Brody, Virginia.
- 10:29Speaker 1: The correct answer is Virginia. The room did well. It's
- 10:33Speaker 1: estimated that there are 180,000 turkeys in Virginia, 140,000 in Oklahoma,
- 10:36Speaker 1: 70,000 in Maine and 50,000 in Idaho. The counties with
- 10:45Speaker 1: the highest density of turkeys in Virginia are mostly located
- 10:49Speaker 1: along the Chesapeake Bay in the eastern part of the state.
- 10:52Speaker 1: There's a map showing turkey density for Virginia. Seems like
- 10:55Speaker 1: every turkey in that state is drinking out of the
- 10:58Speaker 1: James River or the Potomac River or the Chesapeake Bay.
- 11:02Speaker 1: All right, we're on to question two. The topic is fishing.
- 11:06Speaker 1: This next great question is via Corey Betancourt. Michael has
- 11:11Speaker 1: Fredo executed while fishing on Lake Tahoe. In this 1974
- 11:17Speaker 1: Oscar-winning sequel. Randall and Brody got it. Your other four
- 11:24Speaker 1: players don't know it. Michael has Fredo executed.
- 11:27Speaker 3: It's one of the most famous scenes in Hollywood history.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 11:31Speaker 4: There's a hint. In history.
- 11:34Speaker 3: In history. Like, I'm not lying.
- 11:35Speaker 7: Yeah, he's not wrong.
- 11:37Speaker 5: You want the sequel.
- 11:38Speaker 1: You should tell me the sequel. Yeah. Michael has Fredo
- 11:41Speaker 1: executed while fishing on Lake Tahoe. in this 1974 Oscar-winning sequel?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Brody and Randall. Very quick to answer. Brody gave a
- 11:55Speaker 1: heavy hint, and now Yanni's come up with his answer.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Did Brody's feedback help you there?
- 12:01Speaker 2: No.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Okay. No.
- 12:06Speaker 7: This seems like a generational thing. Yeah.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Brianna's calling everybody else old.
- 12:11Speaker 5: We're a real cinema fly.
- 12:12Speaker 1: I agree.
- 12:13Speaker 3: It would be sad if you guys haven't seen it.
- 12:15Speaker 3: That's for sure. Like, Phil would be really mad at you.
- 12:17Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 12:18Speaker 1: I think. Phil, is that true?
- 12:19Speaker 4: Oh, I don't want to disappoint Phil.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Phil looks furious over there.
- 12:23Speaker 7: Can't see it. There's steam.
- 12:24Speaker 9: I'm just torn on which one.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Michael has Fredo executed while fishing on Lake Tahoe in
- 12:32Speaker 1: this 1974 Oscar-winning sequel.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Not really. Not really.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 12:39Speaker 4: This is Josh again.
- 12:42Speaker 5: All I can think about right now is Dune.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:46Speaker 9: Dune 3. I haven't seen Dune 1 or 2 yet.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But you read the books, though.
- 12:50Speaker 5: I just read the books.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Big book boy.
- 12:52Speaker 9: All I can think about is sequels right now. There's
- 12:54Speaker 9: so many Dune books.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Phil, have you read the books and seen the movies?
- 12:58Speaker 7: Only seen the movies. I started Dune in high school,
- 13:01Speaker 7: and it was just too esoteric and funky for me
- 13:03Speaker 7: at the time. I think if I gave it a
- 13:04Speaker 7: shot now, I'd.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Enjoy it more. I think it's right in your Q zone.
- 13:09Speaker 7: It's a pretty narrow key zone, but it's deep.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Michael has Fredo executed while fishing on Lake Tahoe in
- 13:15Speaker 1: this 1974 Oscar-winning sequel. Do our other three players give up? Yeah,
- 13:21Speaker 1: I do.
- 13:22Speaker 10: My wife always gives me a hard time that I
- 13:24Speaker 10: fall asleep during movies, and this is about the only time.
- 13:28Speaker 5: It hurts me.
- 13:30Speaker 1: You think this movie's been on at your house before?
- 13:33Speaker 10: He wouldn't know.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn't know.
- 13:35Speaker 10: I've watched the first 15 minutes of it, maybe.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Rihanna and Laura without
- 13:41Speaker 1: an answer. Randall, Godfather 2. Dane without an answer. Yanni
- 13:46Speaker 1: and Brody, The Godfather 2. They got it. The correct
- 13:49Speaker 1: answer is The Godfather Part 2. Prior to Fredo's execution,
- 13:54Speaker 1: Fredo tells his nephew that he wants to show him
- 13:57Speaker 1: his secret fishing trick that he learned as a boy
- 14:00Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Fredo says that if you recite a Hail
- 14:03Speaker 1: Mary every time you cast your line, you're sure to
- 14:05Speaker 1: catch a fish. But Fredo's nephew is pulled from the
- 14:08Speaker 1: boat by his dad, Michael, before leaving the dock. This
- 14:12Speaker 1: is so that Fredo can be alone with Al, his
- 14:14Speaker 1: soon-to-be assassin. Then on the water, while Fredo is fishing
- 14:17Speaker 1: and praying, Al kills him. Question three, the topic is wildlife.
- 14:24Speaker 1: The blank salamander, which is named after its stripes, is
- 14:28Speaker 1: the state amphibian of Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, and Wyoming. Brody,
- 14:36Speaker 1: quick to answer again. The blank salamander, which is named
- 14:40Speaker 1: after its stripes, is the state amphibian of Colorado, Illinois, Kansas,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and Wyoming.
- 14:48Speaker 3: We had one of these crawl across our porch one
- 14:50Speaker 3: night when I was back in Colorado.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Oh. Real treat every time I get to see one
- 14:56Speaker 1: of these things. It's really tickled.
- 15:00Speaker 2: It's always surprising because when you see, like any salamander,
- 15:04Speaker 2: you're usually.
- 15:04Speaker 5: Like, what are you doing here?
- 15:06Speaker 4: This is Colorado.
- 15:08Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 15:08Speaker 7: The arid west.
- 15:09Speaker 1: The blank salamander, which is named after its stripes, is
- 15:13Speaker 1: the state amphibian of Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, and Wyoming. Randall
- 15:19Speaker 1: doesn't seem to know the salamanders.
- 15:22Speaker 5: No, I don't.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Rihanna, do you have this one right?
- 15:26Speaker 10: I think I went with one type of stripes, and
- 15:28Speaker 10: I think.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Okay.
- 15:30Speaker 10: I'm doubting myself.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Laura, do you have this one right?
- 15:32Speaker 8: No.
- 15:33Speaker 2: No, I don't.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Dane, do you know your salamanders?
- 15:36Speaker 10: I don't know if it's right, but I'm thinking of
- 15:39Speaker 10: animals that also have stripes.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Okay.
- 15:42Speaker 1: The blank salamander, which is named after its stripes, is
- 15:45Speaker 1: the state amphibian of Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, and Wyoming.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Randall's trying to get inside of my head.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Is it working? Are you in there, Randall?
- 15:54Speaker 5: I'm going to reverse inception you.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Randall was telling me that you boys had hot dogs
- 16:01Speaker 1: for lunch.
- 16:01Speaker 4: We did.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Randall said they were too big. Well, they're too big
- 16:06Speaker 1: to eat two for lunch.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Oh, okay. I only had one.
- 16:10Speaker 9: Got it.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty good.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I didn't hear that part.
- 16:13Speaker 5: I had two.
- 16:14Speaker 9: I'm not feeling very good.
- 16:16Speaker 10: You got an edge up on them then.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. I don't know what really prompted it.
- 16:23Speaker 2: No I do know It's Randall It's like I was
- 16:25Speaker 2: never really a hot dog eater But kind of hanging
- 16:27Speaker 2: out with Randall I've become more of a hot dog
- 16:30Speaker 2: eater Like that 20 day hunt I was just on
- 16:33Speaker 2: I bet you the crew and I We probably ate close.
- 16:36Speaker 1: To 100 hot dogs And Randall wasn't even there That's
- 16:40Speaker 1: just a symptom of hanging out with him It.
- 16:42Speaker 9: Is a great camp meal Bear hunting in the spring
- 16:45Speaker 9: I'll just put my grill on my tailgate And you
- 16:48Speaker 9: just grill as many hot dogs as you want They're practically.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Free You're losing money by not eating them.
- 16:56Speaker 10: Have you ever done one in Jetboil?
- 16:58Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Like putting them in a thermos.
- 17:02Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 17:02Speaker 5: Keep them hot.
- 17:03Speaker 6: Do you drink the dog water after?
- 17:06Speaker 1: No.
- 17:06Speaker 5: No, he's not a pervert.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Randall, do you have your salad, man?
- 17:11Speaker 5: Isn't that a Limp Bizkit album? Don't they have something
- 17:14Speaker 5: about the heart?
- 17:15Speaker 7: Yeah, we should probably stop talking about it.
- 17:17Speaker 5: Okay.
- 17:18Speaker 4: Is everybody ready?
- 17:19Speaker 7: Before I have to put an explicit tag on this.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, damn. Rihanna says
- 17:25Speaker 1: the zebra salamander. Laura says tiger. Randall, zebra.
- 17:31Speaker 4: Dane, tiger.
- 17:32Speaker 7: I didn't even think of tiger.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Yanni, tiger.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Brody, tiger.
- 17:35Speaker 1: The correct answer is the tiger salamander.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Chuck, that went up to the dogs.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Tiger salamanders are found across the country besides New England.
- 17:45Speaker 1: The eastern tiger salamander is the largest land-dwelling salamander on
- 17:50Speaker 1: the continent. Growing up to 13 inches long, they spend
- 17:53Speaker 1: most of their life underground, only appearing topside after heavy
- 17:57Speaker 1: rains or during their breeding migrations. There is a tiger
- 18:00Speaker 1: salamander for your viewing pleasure. Yeah, he looks more like
- 18:06Speaker 1: a leopard. Some of them have more blotches. Some of
- 18:09Speaker 1: them are just solid colors. Some have stripes just like
- 18:12Speaker 1: a tiger.
- 18:13Speaker 5: I see it on the tail.
- 18:14Speaker 1: This one's more spotted than striped, I'd say. Question four,
- 18:17Speaker 1: the topic is woodsmanship. This nine-letter word refers to, quote,
- 18:23Speaker 1: a long stretch of unmaintained dirt road that is corrugated
- 18:28Speaker 1: by closely spaced ripples. That is a definition I got
- 18:33Speaker 1: from the University of New Mexico. This nine-letter word refers
- 18:37Speaker 1: to a long stretch of unmaintained dirt road that is
- 18:41Speaker 1: corrugated by by closely spaced ripples. And this is question four.
- 18:47Speaker 8: That's a lot of letters.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Brianna seems to have it. Been on a lot of
- 18:54Speaker 1: these roads. Okay. Brody's got an answer. Randall and Dane
- 18:58Speaker 1: have answers. Yanni's still playing hangman. Did you come up
- 19:00Speaker 1: with it, Yanni?
- 19:01Speaker 7: I believe so.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Nine-letter word refers to a long stretch of unmaintained dirt
- 19:08Speaker 1: road that is corrugated by closely spaced ripples. Yep.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Stuff's dangerous if you go too fast on it.
- 19:16Speaker 2: I believe I was doing some driving on said roads
- 19:20Speaker 2: in the last couple weeks.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Okay.
- 19:22Speaker 5: You could give me 150.
- 19:27Speaker 9: Opportunities to describe this if I have it right, and
- 19:30Speaker 9: I would never come up with that sequence of words.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a unique way to describe this. Laura? Nope.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Laura, you know it.
- 19:43Speaker 5: I can't think of what the word is.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Nine-letter word refers to a long stretch of unmaintained dirt
- 19:50Speaker 1: road that is corrugated by closely spaced ripples.
- 19:55Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what you do.
- 19:57Speaker 7: That's how you maintain.
- 19:59Speaker 9: I'm digging into my recent experiences in HOA.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Board member here okay this is a word that comes
- 20:09Speaker 1: up there yeah.
- 20:11Speaker 9: They are dangerous the only thing we do i was
- 20:13Speaker 9: just in canada and if you go about 40 to
- 20:16Speaker 9: 45 miles an hour your back end starts doing that
- 20:20Speaker 9: kilometers though yeah i don't probably like 150 kilometers i
- 20:24Speaker 9: don't know.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Is everybody ready.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers oh The whole room
- 20:34Speaker 1: besides Laura says washboard. They got it. The correct answer
- 20:38Speaker 1: is washboard. The name comes from the road resembling an
- 20:41Speaker 1: old fashioned washboard. The rippling is the result of dry
- 20:45Speaker 1: weather and the continuous friction created by tires. When a
- 20:49Speaker 1: vehicle hits a small bump or dip, the tire briefly
- 20:52Speaker 1: bounces in the air. Then when it lands, it displaces
- 20:55Speaker 1: loose dirt to form another bump or dip. This process
- 20:59Speaker 1: becomes a repeating cycle that ultimately forms the washboard conditions.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Question five, the topic is conservation. This next great question
- 21:07Speaker 1: is via Leland Hart. This state is home to the
- 21:12Speaker 1: most national forests, including Lassen National Forest and Mendocino National Forest.
- 21:22Speaker 1: This state is home to the most national forests, including
- 21:27Speaker 1: Lassen National Forest and Mendocino National Forest. Yanni, Brody, Randall
- 21:34Speaker 1: all locked in. Laura, do you have this one right?
- 21:36Speaker 1: I hope so. Okay, Laura's got this one as well.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Dane joining them. This state has the most national forests.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Laura and Yanni, do you guys agree on what the
- 21:54Speaker 1: answer is based on that eye contact?
- 21:57Speaker 3: Our telepathy?
- 21:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you guys have the same thing?
- 21:59Speaker 4: I think so.
- 22:00Speaker 7: I don't know. Okay.
- 22:03Speaker 1: This state is home to the most national forests, including
- 22:07Speaker 1: Lassen National Forest and Mendocino National Forest. Brianna, I'm waiting
- 22:12Speaker 1: on you. The rest of the room thinks they have it.
- 22:17Speaker 7: I know. Is it like the most area of, or
- 22:21Speaker 7: just the most named?
- 22:22Speaker 1: Just the most of them.
- 22:24Speaker 5: The most numbers of them.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 22:26Speaker 5: The highest number.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Of separate national forests.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Dane, do you have this one right?
- 22:37Speaker 5: 50-50.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brianna says New Mexico.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Laura and Randall say California. Dane says Colorado. Yanni and
- 22:49Speaker 1: Brody say California. The correct answer is California. California has
- 22:54Speaker 1: 18 national forests, the most in the nation. That's followed
- 22:59Speaker 1: by Idaho with 15, Oregon and Colorado with 11, and
- 23:03Speaker 1: Montana with 10. Despite Alaska having just two national forests,
- 23:07Speaker 1: it has the most acres of national forests, with one
- 23:10Speaker 1: million more than California. All right, we're halfway through today's game. Phil,
- 23:16Speaker 1: give us a scoreboard update.
- 23:19Speaker 7: We've got two perfect games running right now between Giannis
- 23:22Speaker 7: and Brody. Randall's one point behind them with four.
- 23:24Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the salamander question.
- 23:26Speaker 7: I'm sorry. Laura has three. Dane has two. Brianna has one.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Question six, the topic is wildlife. Modern competitors in the
- 23:40Speaker 1: Blank Run, which is an illegal automobile race that goes
- 23:44Speaker 1: from New York to California, equip their vehicles with thermal
- 23:48Speaker 1: scopes to avoid deer.
- 23:56Speaker 7: Either copied this question incompletely, Spencer, or you updated it.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I did not update it. This was just a... Wrong
- 24:03Speaker 1: copy and paste. Modern competitors in the Blank Run, which
- 24:08Speaker 1: is an illegal automobile race that goes from New York
- 24:12Speaker 1: to California, equip their vehicles with thermal scopes to avoid deer.
- 24:18Speaker 7: You're seeing me do work in real time here.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Well done, Phil. All right, Brody, you have this one right?
- 24:24Speaker 3: I think so.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Randall, you have this one right.
- 24:27Speaker 6: I think so.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Yanni just had a phone call, and now he's going
- 24:31Speaker 1: back to his whiteboard.
- 24:32Speaker 9: There's a message on Slack asking people to move their trucks.
- 24:37Speaker 5: Oh, okay. I don't think it's any of our trucks, though.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I parked in a spot that had suspicious amount of
- 24:44Speaker 1: space over there. I can move mine after this. Tell
- 24:48Speaker 1: them I'll be out in 30 minutes. Modern competitors in
- 24:52Speaker 1: the Blank Run, which is an illegal automobile race that
- 24:57Speaker 1: goes from New York to California. equip their vehicles with
- 25:01Speaker 1: thermal scopes to avoid deer.
- 25:03Speaker 7: Kind of bummed out with how many people are using
- 25:04Speaker 7: their phones at the table right now. I just want
- 25:06Speaker 7: to throw that out there. It's kind of well-known etiquette
- 25:09Speaker 7: for technical reasons and just for a good show for
- 25:11Speaker 7: Spencer's sake.
- 25:12Speaker 5: Thanks for the.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Reminder, Phil.
- 25:13Speaker 1: You're welcome.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I haven't been able to stop using my phone lately.
- 25:17Speaker 4: Mine's on do not disturb.
- 25:19Speaker 5: In bed all night.
- 25:20Speaker 4: The boss, a.k.a.
- 25:23Speaker 2: My gal, she was calling. So I had to let
- 25:26Speaker 2: her know for deep in trivia. Did we not used
- 25:29Speaker 2: to see part of this run come through Colorado at times?
- 25:33Speaker 2: You remember that? When there'd be like a bunch of
- 25:35Speaker 2: fancy cars in town.
- 25:37Speaker 3: For a couple of days? I don't remember that.
- 25:40Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't the kind of run that would stop.
- 25:43Speaker 5: That might have just been plutocrats.
- 25:44Speaker 10: And usually it's just one vehicle and no one knows
- 25:47Speaker 10: about it until it's over.
- 25:50Speaker 4: I actually know a lot about this.
- 25:51Speaker 6: I've never heard about this.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Okay. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers,
- 25:58Speaker 1: Brianna and Laura. Without an answer, the rest of the
- 26:00Speaker 1: room says the cannonball run. They got it. The correct
- 26:04Speaker 1: answer is the cannonball run.
- 26:06Speaker 3: One of the greatest movies of all time.
- 26:08Speaker 9: I used this word in a text message to Corey
- 26:11Speaker 9: Calkins yesterday. Okay. I said, if you need me to
- 26:14Speaker 9: make a cannonball run up.
- 26:16Speaker 1: All right. Cannonball runs have been going on since 1914,
- 26:20Speaker 1: but didn't get mainstream attention until the 1981 movie starring
- 26:24Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds. The current record for making it from New
- 26:28Speaker 1: York to LA, which is the distance of 2,813 miles,
- 26:30Speaker 1: was set in 2025. That team of drivers made the
- 26:32Speaker 1: journey in 25 hours and 39 minutes with an average
- 26:34Speaker 1: speed of 112 miles per hour. In a 2017 record attempt,
- 26:46Speaker 1: A cannonball runner struck a whitetail in Illinois that brought
- 26:50Speaker 1: their race to an end. Today, most cannonball run vehicles
- 26:53Speaker 1: have a passenger using image stabilizer binoculars and a dashboard
- 26:57Speaker 1: monitor attached to thermoscopes to identify deer on the road.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Cannonball run.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Question seven.
- 27:05Speaker 1: The topic is hunting. This man who wrote Fear and
- 27:10Speaker 1: Loathing in Las Vegas stole a set of elk antlers
- 27:14Speaker 1: from Ernest Hemingway's home. In 1964. Brody, Yanni, Randall all confidently.
- 27:24Speaker 3: I was in a bar at the same time as
- 27:25Speaker 3: this man one time.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 27:28Speaker 1: How'd that go down?
- 27:30Speaker 6: Good.
- 27:30Speaker 3: I mean, he kind of holds court. He held court
- 27:33Speaker 3: in that spot.
- 27:34Speaker 5: Did he recognize you?
- 27:35Speaker 1: No. Oh.
- 27:37Speaker 3: He would have no reason to recognize me at that time.
- 27:40Speaker 7: Pulled a gun on him anyway.
- 27:42Speaker 4: Was this in Fort Collins?
- 27:44Speaker 7: No.
- 27:44Speaker 5: No.
- 27:45Speaker 3: I'll tell you.
- 27:48Speaker 1: This man who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- 27:52Speaker 1: stole a set of elk antlers from Ernest Hemingway's home
- 27:56Speaker 1: in 1964. Laura, do you have this one right?
- 28:00Speaker 4: I think so.
- 28:01Speaker 7: When did.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Don't ask yet.
- 28:04Speaker 5: Yeah. I know what you're thinking.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I never read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas stole
- 28:11Speaker 1: a set of elk antlers from Ernest Hemingway's home in 1964. Randall,
- 28:17Speaker 1: have you read it?
- 28:19Speaker 5: No, I haven't actually. Okay.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Brody, have you read it?
- 28:21Speaker 10: Nope.
- 28:22Speaker 1: No. I was hoping you could tell me if the
- 28:24Speaker 1: book or the movie was better.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Which is weird because we're both big drug guys.
- 28:28Speaker 4: I know.
- 28:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:32Speaker 3: All kinds of them.
- 28:33Speaker 4: The movie is great. And then all of a sudden
- 28:36Speaker 4: it goes wackadoodle and you're like, what?
- 28:39Speaker 1: Is the whole movie not just wackadoodle?
- 28:41Speaker 2: You've seen it? No, I feel like there's a real
- 28:43Speaker 2: turning point. It's kind of like Escanaba in the Moonlight,
- 28:45Speaker 2: where you're like, okay, I'm tracking, and then you're like, what?
- 28:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Happened.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brianna
- 28:54Speaker 1: without an answer. Laura says Jack London. Randall, Hunter S.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Thompson.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Dane without an answer. Yanni and Brody, Hunter S.
- 29:02Speaker 5: Thompson.
- 29:02Speaker 1: The correct answer is Hunter S. Thompson.
- 29:05Speaker 5: To be fair, she said Jack Kerouac.
- 29:06Speaker 3: When did he die?
- 29:08Speaker 1: Her board was upside down, so I was just guessing.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I'll tell you in my flavor text here. Thompson was
- 29:15Speaker 1: visiting Hemingway's Ketchum, Idaho home while on assignment for the
- 29:19Speaker 1: National Observer. The article was about where Hemingway chose to
- 29:23Speaker 1: spend his final years before killing himself in 1961. Thompson's
- 29:28Speaker 1: writing references, quote, a big pair of elk horns over
- 29:31Speaker 1: the front door. but he never mentions that he then
- 29:34Speaker 1: stole them. Hunter's wife, Anita, returned the elk rack after
- 29:38Speaker 1: Thompson also killed himself in 2005 she said hunter was
- 29:42Speaker 1: deeply embarrassed by the theft and hoped to someday quietly
- 29:45Speaker 1: place them back in the home the hemingway family was
- 29:48Speaker 1: reportedly quote warm grateful and kind of tickled when anita
- 29:52Speaker 1: returned the antlers and there is a picture of the
- 29:56Speaker 1: hemingway family with the stolen set of elk antlers that
- 30:01Speaker 1: Anita returned. I think it was in 2016. So it
- 30:04Speaker 1: was 11 years.
- 30:05Speaker 8: I wonder if Thompson busted that nose.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Off of there. It was already busted.
- 30:09Speaker 2: I was going to say classic busted nose on a European.
- 30:15Speaker 1: So Hemingway killed himself in 61. Thompson was doing the
- 30:18Speaker 1: assignment in 64. That's when he stole them. Thompson killed
- 30:21Speaker 1: himself in 2005, and then I think it was 2016
- 30:25Speaker 1: when his wife returned the animals.
- 30:27Speaker 8: Yeah, he was in the Woody Creek Tavern outside of
- 30:29Speaker 8: Aspen one time when I was in there.
- 30:31Speaker 3: He used to hang out there a lot.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Question eight.
- 30:34Speaker 3: You ever been there?
- 30:35Speaker 5: No.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Question eight. The topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener
- 30:38Speaker 1: question of the week, which was won by Sam Padilla
- 30:41Speaker 1: for sending this great question. Sam is going to get
- 30:43Speaker 1: a $ 150 First Light gift card. If you want a
- 30:46Speaker 1: chance to win the listener question of the week, then
- 30:48Speaker 1: send your question to trivia at themeadeater.com. This word, which
- 30:52Speaker 1: also refers to a turkey's body part, is defined as, quote,
- 30:57Speaker 1: a short ridge or area of high ground that sticks
- 31:00Speaker 1: out from the side of a hill or mountain. Randall,
- 31:07Speaker 1: quick to answer. Yanni joining in. Brody joining in for
- 31:13Speaker 1: question eight. This word, which also refers to a turkey's
- 31:17Speaker 1: body part, is defined as a short ridge or area
- 31:21Speaker 1: of high ground that sticks out from the side of
- 31:24Speaker 1: a hill or mountain. We'll get a scoreboard update from
- 31:28Speaker 1: Phil after this.
- 31:30Speaker 7: I'm feeling very uncultured today.
- 31:31Speaker 1: I don't think this one's a matter of culture, Brianna.
- 31:36Speaker 5: Yeah, this is birds. Just straight birds, man. No interest.
- 31:41Speaker 1: You know what would make you feel better is to
- 31:43Speaker 1: keep telling Randall how old he is, though.
- 31:46Speaker 5: Not yet. Not yet. Not yet.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Are you going hunting later or are you just doing
- 31:50Speaker 2: casual camo today? Casual camo most days.
- 31:55Speaker 4: Most days?
- 31:56Speaker 7: Yeah, I like camo.
- 31:57Speaker 9: Okay.
- 32:00Speaker 1: This word.
- 32:01Speaker 7: Yanni's judging you.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Which also refers to a turkey's body part is defined
- 32:04Speaker 1: as a short ridge or area of high ground that
- 32:07Speaker 1: sticks out from the side of a hill or mountain.
- 32:10Speaker 9: By the way, I think we covered this before we
- 32:12Speaker 9: started recording but we all are thrilled and welcome the
- 32:16Speaker 9: return of Yanni sleeves Yeah program.
- 32:18Speaker 1: It's been the first time if you're listening in your vehicle.
- 32:24Speaker 9: Just the less skin at trivia the better, yeah General
- 32:28Speaker 9: rule also some very white skin. It would be good
- 32:31Speaker 9: kind of blinding off of Phil's I I just felt
- 32:35Speaker 9: like we were kind of trending in two different directions.
- 32:37Speaker 9: And now I feel like we're back sort of in
- 32:39Speaker 9: the same culture.
- 32:40Speaker 5: Okay.
- 32:41Speaker 1: What was the other direction? Folks covering up more?
- 32:43Speaker 9: No, I was just like wearing sleeves and Yanni was
- 32:46Speaker 9: just getting further and further away from that.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Well, you probably have six or eight months.
- 32:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Your streams will cross paths though at some point and
- 32:58Speaker 1: then Randall's going to go sleeveless and Brody.
- 33:01Speaker 5: Nah, it's not a good look on me.
- 33:04Speaker 4: That's the thing. It's not a look. It's comfort.
- 33:08Speaker 1: It's a lifestyle.
- 33:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not at war with my sleeves, man. I
- 33:11Speaker 3: don't feel like they're hindering comfort.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Yeah, but you just haven't tried sleeveless yet.
- 33:16Speaker 3: I sure have, and I just don't think.
- 33:19Speaker 4: I don't think. I haven't seen you ever wear sleeveless.
- 33:22Speaker 1: This word, which also refers to a turkey's body part,
- 33:25Speaker 1: is defined as a short range or area.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Did you get it, Brody?
- 33:28Speaker 1: I'm kind of scared. I don't know.
- 33:31Speaker 6: I have a secondary answer.
- 33:33Speaker 4: I'm scared of your answer or sleeves. I need you
- 33:35Speaker 4: to falter here.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brianna says gobble. Laura
- 33:41Speaker 1: says comb. Randall says spur. Dane spur. Yanni spur. Brody spur.
- 33:47Speaker 1: The correct answer is spur.
- 33:49Speaker 5: What was your second guess, Brody?
- 33:51Speaker 3: I didn't have one.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Didn't someone say that?
- 33:54Speaker 1: I did.
- 33:54Speaker 5: What about snoot?
- 33:57Speaker 1: I don't think I'd find that definition.
- 33:59Speaker 4: I've never heard that used as a.
- 34:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:02Speaker 6: It's the reason I didn't write it.
- 34:04Speaker 5: It's a body part on a turkey.
- 34:05Speaker 6: It is a body part, and it could be.
- 34:07Speaker 1: You start calling it that. It could not be. And
- 34:09Speaker 1: then I'll ask this question a year from now, and
- 34:11Speaker 1: there'll be two answers.
- 34:12Speaker 10: It could resemble an area that sticks out from the
- 34:16Speaker 10: side of a mountain.
- 34:17Speaker 4: A spur. I was creeping down the snood, and the
- 34:21Speaker 4: buck jumped up.
- 34:23Speaker 1: A spur usually offers a more gentle way off a mountain,
- 34:26Speaker 1: making it a popular place for trails, both human and game.
- 34:29Speaker 1: On a topographic map, spurs usually show up as a
- 34:33Speaker 1: U or V shape that points away from the mountain
- 34:36Speaker 1: and towards the valley. All right, Phil, two questions left.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Give us a scoreboard update.
- 34:41Speaker 7: Randall's still being haunted by the mythical zebra salamander.
- 34:45Speaker 5: Shut up.
- 34:47Speaker 7: He's one point behind Giannis and Brody, who have eight points.
- 34:52Speaker 7: And those are the three players left.
- 34:53Speaker 1: In the game.
- 34:53Speaker 5: I got to dig myself out of a hole here.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Nine. The topic is fishing. What river flows through Niagara Falls?
- 35:06Speaker 7: Oh, gosh.
- 35:08Speaker 1: What river flows through Niagara Falls?
- 35:10Speaker 4: Brody knows it. He grew up in that part of
- 35:13Speaker 4: the country.
- 35:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 35:15Speaker 1: And Yanni's got a blank whiteboard.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Dang.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Randall, do you have this one?
- 35:23Speaker 5: I think so.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Brody, he has his whiteboard down. Brody, do you have
- 35:27Speaker 1: this one?
- 35:28Speaker 3: Again, I'm scared.
- 35:30Speaker 1: He put it down pretty softly, which is a measure
- 35:33Speaker 1: of his confidence, it seems like. What river flows through
- 35:38Speaker 1: Niagara Falls?
- 35:42Speaker 5: Flows over?
- 35:44Speaker 1: Over it, yep.
- 35:46Speaker 5: Through it.
- 35:46Speaker 7: It's a grandmother's house.
- 35:48Speaker 3: I wonder if anyone's tried to ride down that thing lately.
- 35:52Speaker 7: Oh.
- 35:54Speaker 5: That was a cool moment in culture. Guys are just like,
- 35:58Speaker 5: put me in a barrel.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I'll give it a shot.
- 36:02Speaker 5: I wonder if I'll die.
- 36:05Speaker 1: What river flows through Niagara Falls? Yanni, do you have
- 36:10Speaker 1: an answer?
- 36:10Speaker 4: I got a couple in my head. You just tell
- 36:13Speaker 4: me when I got to write one down.
- 36:15Speaker 1: I'm running out of time.
- 36:17Speaker 3: My parents got married at Niagara Falls. It was like
- 36:19Speaker 3: a thing back in the day.
- 36:20Speaker 1: On land or on a boat?
- 36:22Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure on land. I don't think they would
- 36:24Speaker 3: have been able to.
- 36:24Speaker 1: Afford the boat. I mean, I'm just like going off
- 36:27Speaker 1: to the office.
- 36:28Speaker 8: It was like a place to go get married and
- 36:31Speaker 8: do your honeymoon back in the day. Maybe they didn't
- 36:33Speaker 8: get married there. I think they had their honeymoon there, maybe.
- 36:36Speaker 8: I'll have to ask my dad.
- 36:38Speaker 7: I'll add that to our list of honeymoon destinations.
- 36:41Speaker 5: You should.
- 36:43Speaker 7: Bora Bora or.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Yanni, we're running out of time. Laura, are you going
- 36:50Speaker 1: to come up with a river for us?
- 36:52Speaker 9: No, I'm not.
- 36:52Speaker 7: No.
- 36:56Speaker 1: What river flows through Niagara Falls? This is question nine.
- 37:03Speaker 5: Yannis.
- 37:06Speaker 4: I hate writing down a wrong answer.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Especially when you get that perfect game going. Only once
- 37:12Speaker 1: before we've had overtime with multiple perfect games. We could
- 37:16Speaker 1: see it again today. Brody is snickering.
- 37:18Speaker 5: Or they could falter.
- 37:19Speaker 1: We could go to overtime. Triple overtime.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Brody's snickering at my wrong answer.
- 37:25Speaker 3: You got time to rethink that one, Giannis?
- 37:27Speaker 1: Nope. Gianni?
- 37:33Speaker 7: Are you ready?
- 37:34Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brianna saying
- 37:41Speaker 1: the Niagara. Laura without an answer. Randall, St.
- 37:44Speaker 5: Lawrence.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Dane, Hudson.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Yanni, Detroit. Brody, Niagara. The correct answer is Is the
- 37:53Speaker 1: Niagara River. Oh, yes. Man, you had me scared.
- 37:59Speaker 4: Cody and Brianna.
- 38:00Speaker 5: There's no way.
- 38:01Speaker 6: How often is the answer on the question?
- 38:04Speaker 1: Try to help it, you guys.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Did you write that down?
- 38:07Speaker 7: No.
- 38:07Speaker 1: The Niagara River is 36 miles long, flowing from Lake
- 38:12Speaker 1: Erie to Lake Ontario. The upper stretch is known for
- 38:15Speaker 1: its walleye, smallmouth, pike, muskie, and perch. The lower stretch
- 38:19Speaker 1: is famous for its king salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, lake trout,
- 38:23Speaker 1: and brown trout. The river has produced the Ontario record
- 38:26Speaker 1: for walleye and the New York record for white bass.
- 38:29Speaker 1: All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One
- 38:33Speaker 1: was Virginia. Two, The Godfather, part two. Three, Tiger Salamander. Four, Washboard. Five, California. Six,
- 38:42Speaker 1: Cannonball Run. Seven, Hunter S.
- 38:45Speaker 5: Thompson. Eight, Spurr.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Nine, Niagara River. Phil, scoreboard update.
- 38:51Speaker 7: Brody has pulled ahead. He's got nine points and a
- 38:54Speaker 7: perfect game still going into question 10, which I think
- 38:57Speaker 7: historically he's got a pretty good track record on. Just
- 39:00Speaker 7: throw that out there. Giannis is one point behind him
- 39:04Speaker 7: with eight, and Randall's got seven.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Question 10, the topic is cooking. Biloxi, which is located
- 39:11Speaker 1: in this state, was known as the seafood capital of
- 39:15Speaker 1: the world In the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Randall.
- 39:22Speaker 1: He put down his whiteboard quick, but not as quick
- 39:24Speaker 1: as Brody, who seems to have the perfect game. He
- 39:28Speaker 1: knows it. Biloxi. which is located in this state, was
- 39:32Speaker 1: known as the seafood capital of the world in the
- 39:35Speaker 1: late 19th and early 20th centuries.
- 39:39Speaker 4: I like that movie, Biloxi Blues, when I was a kid.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Oh, not familiar. Maybe that makes this question too easy.
- 39:46Speaker 1: I didn't know a movie existed with this in the title.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I think it was some kind of a wartime.
- 39:54Speaker 5: You're thinking of Memphis Belle?
- 39:56Speaker 3: No.
- 39:57Speaker 5: It's another southern city.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Phil, can you weigh in here?
- 40:00Speaker 7: I think you're thinking of Sleepless in Seattle.
- 40:04Speaker 5: No, I thought Memphis Belle was actually pretty on the nose.
- 40:07Speaker 5: This is wartime, same region.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Biloxi, which is located in the States, was known as
- 40:13Speaker 1: the seafood capital of the world. in the late 19th
- 40:17Speaker 1: and early 20th centuries.
- 40:19Speaker 4: I better not type in Biloxi.
- 40:21Speaker 5: Oh, I guess I gave it. It's going to autofill.
- 40:23Speaker 5: I gave a clue, I guess.
- 40:25Speaker 7: Get your phone out of here. What are you doing?
- 40:27Speaker 1: Another maybe honeymoon destination.
- 40:29Speaker 4: Well, pull up the movie for me, Phil.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Keep this on the list. Is everybody ready?
- 40:36Speaker 7: Yes.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Hopefully Brody has it wrong. We're going to let Brianna
- 40:39Speaker 4: write down an answer.
- 40:40Speaker 3: Come on.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Wrong for Brody. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
- 40:45Speaker 1: She's racing.
- 40:47Speaker 4: We're going to get out of her time.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brianna says Washington. Laura, Mississippi. Randall, Mississippi. Dane, Louisiana.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Yanni and Brody, Mississippi. The correct answer is Biloxi, Mississippi.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Brody got it right. He's got the perfect game and
- 41:06Speaker 1: today's victory. At the height of Biloxi's seafood industry in 1902,
- 41:12Speaker 1: the town processed 6 million pounds of oysters and 5
- 41:16Speaker 1: million pounds of shrimp. But the Great Depression and both
- 41:19Speaker 1: World Wars slowed production and crippled exports, forcing several factories
- 41:24Speaker 1: to close. Then hurricanes in the 1960s and 1980s decimated
- 41:28Speaker 1: more factories, docks, and nearby oyster beds. And finally, a
- 41:32Speaker 1: pivot to legalized gambling in the 90s brought casinos to Biloxi,
- 41:37Speaker 1: and changed the city's economy almost overnight.
- 41:40Speaker 5: That's all I could think. That's the only point of reference.
- 41:42Speaker 1: You've been to Biloxi.
- 41:43Speaker 5: No, no. I just know that you gamble there.
- 41:45Speaker 1: A lot of gambling there.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Matthew Broderick stars 1988 military comedy drama.
- 41:52Speaker 1: What's it called?
- 41:52Speaker 4: Biloxi Blues.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Biloxi Blues.
- 41:55Speaker 4: I already told you that part.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yanni knew it. Yep. All right, Brody, what are we
- 41:59Speaker 1: going to do with the $ 1, 000 donation for a perfect game?
- 42:03Speaker 1: I think this is our second, maybe third perfect game
- 42:05Speaker 1: of the year. We haven't had many of them. That
- 42:07Speaker 1: means he gets to double the donation from $ 500 to $ 1, 000.
- 42:10Speaker 1: What are we going to do with all that money?
- 42:13Speaker 3: Since it's Whitetail Week, we'll do the National Deer Association.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Oh, good on you. All right.
- 42:18Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 supporting them whitetails for NDA.
- 42:21Speaker 4: Big bucks for big bucks.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the
- 42:25Speaker 1: only game show where conservation always wins.
- 42:27Speaker 7: Thanks, Spencer.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.
- 42:32Speaker 5: Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down.
- 42:36Speaker 10: And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks.
- 42:47Speaker 3: And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
