Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by special guests, Dr. Brad Tennant and Tommy Edson.
In addition to Brad and Tommy, we also have Steve, Giannis, Cal, Brody, and Chester.
Now, Brad, how do you feel about trivia? You seem like a trivia-going fellow.
I think he's going to kick ass, man.
We'll see. We'll see.
A lot of people lose from that seat, Brad.
Now, Tommy, Steve has said
that you told him. That seat has only won once.
I think you might be right.
Boy, that's a new stat we're going to have to be keeping.
Bad seat, Brad.
That's a winner corner over there.
This is a hot little winning spot right here, Brad.
Now, Tommy, Steve has said that
you told him you always win, but then
Steve walked it back a couple
episodes ago. So here's your chance to set the
record straight. How often, when you play
trivia on lunch break, are you winning?
I've won three.
That's pretty dang good. I've won three.
And how are you normally doing otherwise?
In the top
two or three.
I had one really bad week that week with Cam, man.
I think I only got three right.
But other than that, I don't know.
I didn't pay attention to how many.
You had a bad performance.
Hey, I don't look at who's behind me when I'm running.
Now, what about your coworkers that you play with?
Are they sharp?
You know, we really don't play in the last three, four weeks.
We don't really play anymore.
I just kind of keep score along with myself and play along.
They just got sick of losing to you?
Maybe that's it.
I don't know.
And you had to quit going.
You used to go to your local trivia night and you quit.
Yeah, we got a local kind of watering hole bar not far from the house.
It has trivia night on Tuesday nights.
I don't go in there anymore.
Why not?
It's just, I don't go in there anymore. Why not? It's just...
I don't know. It's just kind of like...
You know, you don't want to be that dude that's like,
uh-uh!
Oh, no? Yeah, I don't want to be that dude.
You don't say it. I'll just shut up.
Maybe some people do. I don't want to be that guy.
We don't have any experience with a guy like that.
I'll just shut up.
Now, Steve has really hyped
you up, and like, you're
representing every listener who's ever thought
they could come on this show and win, so
no pressure, but there's a lot of pressure
because if you don't do well, I don't know if we'll have another
listener back.
A lot of pressure. That really lays it
out thick. Like I said right before, you turn that machine
on, man. I'm an iceberg. 90%
of it's under the surface. You'll see. Go ahead.
Hit the drop.
Now, if you're not familiar,
this is a 10-round quiz show with questions
from our four verticals, which are hunting,
fishing, conservation, and cooking.
And there is a prize. MeDeedle will donate
$500 to the conservation organization
of the winner's choosing.
Now, in our last episode, I put a call out
to help with compiling trivia stats,
and our listeners answered in a big way.
We told you to send an email
to trivia at the meat eater dot com
with the subject line,
suck it, Spencer,
if you were willing to collect data
from previous games of trivia.
In the two days since that aired,
we got 503 emails
with Spencer can suck it
as the subject line.
God, that's got to, like, psychologically, that's really got to take a toll
on a guy, man. I mean, to scroll
through that, you know? Every notification.
Again and again and again.
On Wednesday morning, from 5am
to 8am, we were averaging 1.6
emails per minute with that subject line.
So it was hot.
So Steve's wish
has been granted. We finally have a library
of Meat Eater Trivia stats.
Now, I'm not going to drop them all right now,
but we'll introduce a new stat each time we play.
For today, we're going to reveal each player's winning percentage
as Steve requested.
This is the amount of times that they've won Meat Eater Trivia
tracked against the number of times they've played.
So here it is.
This is a titillating little...
In first place is Dustin
Huff, of course. He's played once and won once,
so he's at 100%.
That's followed by
Steve, who has won 36%
of the games that he's played.
Brody at 33%.
Giannis at 30%.
Clay at 25%.
Seth and Chester at
13%. And Corinne at 8%. Now everyone else whose name I didn't say is at 25%. Seth and Chester at 13%. And Corinne at 8%.
Now everyone else whose name I didn't say is at 0%.
Sorry, Cal.
This is going to be the only...
I do one complaint per show now.
I don't know if you know this.
This is today's complaint.
And it hasn't even happened yet.
So I might really be biting my tongue later.
Stop saying Corinne won.
It was the April Fool's joke in which you gave her the answers.
You got to expunge her from the board?
Okay?
It's like, the joke's over.
She still gets to win.
Now everyone else whose name I didn't say is at 0%.
So Steve is leading the pack at 36%.
Of who's present right now.
Yes.
Well, of everybody, though.
And Brody's only a few percent points behind that.
Giannis is right behind him.
So it's tight.
It's real tight.
I'm ready.
Now, in a previous game of trivia, we had a question about the Mark Twain National Forest.
After the answers were revealed, this happened next.
Play the clip, Phil.
The correct answer is Missouri.
I know somebody that went to it.
Yeah, you know what I think we should do?
Lord of the Lunker.
If I can name what town he was born in, I get a point.
You can tell us the name, but we will not give you a point.
What was it?
Hannibal, Missouri.
Hannibal.
Now, about 20 folks wrote in to let me know that despite Steve's confidence,
Mark Twain was not born in Hannibal, Missouri.
Wow, he spent a lot of time there, maybe.
Instead, he was born in Florida, Missouri,
which is about 40 miles from Hannibal, where Mark Twain grew up.
So he was born in Florida, but raised in Hannibal.
Huh, cool.
Good thing I didn't get a point.
Also on a previous show,
we had a question about the daredevil fishing lure.
In the follow-up factoid,
I said that the Germans referred to the U.S. Marines
as daredevils because of their fierce fighting style.
What they actually called them was Teufelhunden,
which translates to devil dogs, not daredevils.
Getting that wrong showed me how many Marines
we have listening to the show,
which happens to be a lot.
They adamantly wanted to correct that one.
They were not referred to as daredevils.
They were called devil dogs.
Yeah, it's worse to be getting chased by a devil dog than a daredevil, I think.
There you go.
With that, we're on to game trivia.
Play the drop, Phil.
Look, I need to know what i stand to win
everything how's that just tend to win everything
game on suckers question one this will be multiple choice the topic
is woodsmanship.
Oh, can I interrupt you real quick?
Yeah.
It's not to complain.
Oh, yeah.
It's not to complain.
Our new calendar, fucked up old taxidermy.
You can come for the taxidermy and stay for the trivia.
Because every month in the calendar, there's baked-in trivia.
And when is that calendar coming out?
September.
I feel like we're way ahead of the game this year.
I'm teasing it.
I like it.
All right, go on.
Question one.
This will be multiple choice, and the topic is woodsmanship.
Which of these is not a real Boy Scouts badge?
Oh, jeez.
Hunting, fishing, conservation, or cooking.
Which of these is not a real Boy Scouts badge?
Hunting, fishing, conservation, or cooking.
Three of our four verticals are a merit badge you can earn.
One of them is not.
No shit.
Was anybody in this room a Boy Scout?
Your boy was.
See, this was not written for Tommy.
No, is that a throw to Tommy?
It was not.
It was not written for Tommy.
Yanni, you were a Boy Scout?
Yes, sir.
You guys feeling confident?
No.
Not at all.
Oh, okay.
You didn't write it cockily.
Does everybody have an answer?
I was laughing. Brad's got quite the grin on his face. He's got write it cockily. Does everybody have an answer? I was laughing.
Brad's got quite the grin on his face.
He's got a big grin on his face.
He's a Boy Scout background.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Yanni saying hunting, Steve saying hunting, Brad saying cooking, Tommy saying
hunting, Brody saying hunting, Chester saying conservation, and Cal saying hunting.
The correct answer is hunting. Oh, a lot of winners. What did you have, Tommy? Cal saying hunting. The correct answer is hunting.
Oh, a lot of winners. What'd you have, Tommy?
I had hunting.
Although there's no hunting badge, they do
offer merit badges for rifle
shooting, shotgun shooting, archery,
and mammal study.
There are 138 badges in total
and some of the weirdest are
basketry, bugling,
coin collecting, dentistry, fingerprinting, nuclear science, and plumbing.
Dentistry.
Did you boys earn any of those?
Oh, yeah.
Nuclear science.
No.
I don't remember any of them.
Do you know the story of the kid?
They call him the radioactive Boy Scout.
No.
That was, he got a Geiger counter and stuff.
And he was going around collecting radioactive materials
and keeping it in his ma's shed.
And it wound up becoming like a major case.
I mean, they hauled away his yard
when they did the cleanup.
And he was the radioactive Boy Scout.
Yeah.
I like it.
Because the atomic energy thing.
I bet he got his nuclear science.
He was going around antique shops
getting the old style
of thermometers.
Wow. And he built
up a huge collection of radioactive
materials. Like I said, he'd ride around
with a Geiger counter on his dashboard.
What was his ultimate
goal there? I can't remember.
I know the writer, Ken Silverstein,
I think, wrote the piece called Radioactive Boy Scout
and Harpers.
Go on.
Question two.
The topic is fishing.
This next great question comes to us via Troy Allard.
If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
What is the colorful nickname biologists gave Lake Winnipeg's world famous walleye?
What? You like that one, Chester?
Yeah.
Anybody else as confident as Chester is?
No.
I know what my old man used to call him in Lake Erie.
You've been generous with some hints lately, Brody.
Well, that's not a hint.
Yeah, Brody's got to cut that shit back, man.
What?
That's not a hint.
His hint was my dad used to call him something.
In a different lake.
One more time.
What is the colorful nickname biologists gave Lake Winnipeg's world-famous walleye?
Does everybody have an answer?
No.
Keep the walleye questions coming.
Thank you.
Does everyone know Steve's board has suck it Brody written on the back?
I love it that his board says suck it Brody because I know I'm getting in his head.
Oh, yeah.
Because you are in there buddy.
Alright, does everybody now have an answer?
Oh yeah.
Let's do it.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Yanni saying Walter, Steve saying Rainbow Walleye, Brad without an answer, Tommy saying Wigator. Brody saying yellow pike.
Chester saying greenbacks.
Cal saying blue eyes.
The correct answer is greenbacks.
Chester, congratulations, man.
Winnipeg's walleye are famously emerald green thanks to the limestone substrate that fills the lake.
If you want to see some greenbacks get caught, then check out Season 2, Episode 3 of the Canadian Angle on MeatEater's YouTube channel where
Jay Siemens and Josh McFadden
ice fish Lake Winnipeg.
We are on to Question
3. The topic is
explorers.
Oh, here's where Brad
gets thrown a bone.
Thomas Jefferson kept
this mammal as a pet,
which he received from Lewis and Clark partway through their expedition.
Say the question again.
Thomas Jefferson kept this mammal as a pet, which he received from Lewis and Clark partway through their expedition.
Son of a bitch.
Brad, how do you feel about this one?
He's doing a lot of writing.
Again, Thomas Jefferson kept this mammal as a pet.
Brad, can you write it again, Brad?
Are you putting your sources down too, Brad?
Which he received from Lewis and Clark partway through their expedition.
I had about five trivia questions written about Lewis and Clark.
The other four all got covered on the last podcast, so I couldn't use them.
Thankfully, you didn't go into this detail, so you saved me something for trivia.
Does everybody have an answer?
No.
What are you going to do if Brad's answer is this didn't actually happen?
I will take the loss then.
I was telling Chester before the show, I think
this might be a hard batch.
We may need to establish a
Shelby line
for trivia because I always play with her
before I come to the show, and it kind of
helps me understand how difficult
or easy the batch is, and usually she does
about half as well as the
winner, and she got three of these right.
So the winner today would be expected to get six based on the Shelby barometer.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yep.
I'm rioting, but yeah.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying antelope, Steve saying buffalo calf, Brad saying prairie dog,
Tommy saying squirrel, Brody saying badger, Chester saying raccoon calf, Brad saying prairie dog, Tommy saying squirrel, Brody
saying badger, Chester saying raccoon, and Cal saying prairie dog. The correct answer is prairie
dog. Everybody knows that one, Brad, but I'm in good company. The prairie dog was shipped with
four magpies and a roughed grouse, but only one magpie and the prairie dog survived the journey.
Jefferson was reportedly delighted and entertained by the prairie dog, which he had taxidermied after its death.
The stuffed prairie dog was eventually sold to P.T. Barnum, who kept it at his New York museum that burned down in 1865.
Too bad we don't have that one in the calendar.
Was the remaining magpie very fat?
I don't know.
And eaten everybody else?
I don't know what happened to that one.
Now, did you intimately know that story, Brad?
I did.
They actually spent most of the day trying to catch one magpie, or it's going to be one prairie dog.
And that night, after they did catch one, they had it for supper.
Oh.
Lewis and Clark.
Could have been much of a meal, but they did.
Do you know how they caught them?
Did they like drown them out of the hole?
They started digging them out at first and that wasn't working.
So then they had the men start bringing buckets of water
and trying to flood them out.
At the end of the day, they had one prairie dog.
We're the kids, we call that ottering.
Uh-huh.
They come up looking like an otter.
Question four.
The topic is cooking.
About 60% of people with this allergy developed it as an adult,
making it the most common food allergy among adult Americans.
About 60% of people with this allergy develop it as an adult,
making it the most common food allergy among adult Americans.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying milk.
Steve saying, what does that say?
Dairy.
Dairy.
Brad saying peanut butter.
Tommy saying nuts.
Brody saying dairy.
Chester saying shellfish.
And Cal saying peanuts.
We have a diverse group of answers.
The correct answer is shellfish.
What?
That is such bullshit.
60% of people aren't allergic to shellfish.
No, 60% of people who develop
the allergy got it as an adult.
Yeah.
That's not what you said, man.
The question was not worded that way.
About 60% of people with this
allergy develop it as an adult, making it the
most common food allergy among
adult Americans. You know, I got it wrong too,
guys. I'm not crying about it.
You're saying it's the most common food allergy among
Americans. Adult Americans. Read the sentence
to me again, man. I'm getting a little
riled up now. He's looking at the script.
About 60%
of people with this allergy develop
it as an adult, making it the most common food allergy
Among adult Americans
Listen dude
Shellfish is not the most common
There's no way that's the most common food allergy
Among adult Americans
You need to argue with the study that put out this stat
We need to google that right now
The reason is there's so many varying levels
Of shellfish allergy
I'm allergic to shellfish.
I'll eat that.
You're right.
I wrote nuts.
About 7.2 million adult Americans have a shellfish allergy.
That's followed by milk at 4.7 million, peanuts at 4.5 million, tree nuts at 3 million, and finned fish at 2.2 million. Scientists aren't sure why shellfish
allergies don't develop until adulthood
but suspect it has something to do with
hormones and environmental triggers.
Whatever. I guess that
I guess that one because I compare
I have that conversation
very often with folks.
Now are you allergic to
shellfish or finned fish or both?
Finned. So you can eat shellfish or finned fish or both finned so you can eat shellfish correct
i can take any questions about chester's allergy question five the topic is conservation we'll get
a scoreboard update after this this next great question comes to us from chris ford if you have
a question you think is right for me to trivia you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. The 1959 federal duck stamp is the only one in
history that features a dog. What kind of dog was it? What year? 1959. The 1959 federal duck stamp
is the only one in history that features a dog. What kind of dog was it?
Now, I'm looking for a specific answer.
So if you thought the answer was deer, you wouldn't write deer.
You would write whitetail deer or mule deer.
Well, that gives it away, doesn't it, Spencer?
No, it does not.
It's as simple as the most common allergy.
For adults who got it as adults. The 1959 federal duck stamp is the only one in history that features a dog.
What kind of dog is it?
Does everybody have an answer?
Yes.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Steve saying a Chesapeake Bay, Brad saying
a Cocker Spaniel, Tommy saying a Black Lab, Brody saying a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Chester
saying a Golden Retriever, and Cal saying a black lab, Brody saying a Chesapeake Bay retriever, Chester saying a golden retriever, and Cal saying a black lab.
The correct answer is black lab.
Oh, son of a gun.
Damn it.
Wow, this is.
God, I'm having a bad game, man.
Oh, that was a gimme.
The federal duck stamp competition encouraged artists that year to submit
designs that featured a dog.
They wanted to emphasize the dog's role in retrieving wounded ducks
and hoped it would get more hunters to use them.
Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update.
We are halfway through the game of trivia.
All right, tied for third place with one point each
are Steve, Giannis, Brody, and Brad.
And then second place with two points,
we have Chester and Tommy tied up.
And in first place with three is Ryan Callahan.
Cal, going for his first win.
Plenty of game left.
How does it feel, Cal?
This is by far and away not the first time
I've been ahead of everyone at this point.
Oh, really?
So you like choke later.
It's not choking. I just think the next
step instead of picking the easiest
answer. Gotcha. You know what I mean?
You're like, I'll show them guys.
Spencer missed a big part
here. If you consider 1969
and what was going
on. It was 59. Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
Pretty simple.
The hippies weren't here yet.
Hey, folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
And boy, my goodness, do we hear from the Canadians
whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes.
And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join.

Our northern brothers get irritated.

Question six.
The topic is hunting.
Four states have the black bear as their official state mammal.
Name one of them, and I'll give you a hint.
Two of these states border each other.
Four states have the black bear as their official state mammal.
Name one of them.
And again, two of these states are touching.
Four states have the black bear as their official state mammal.
Name one of them.
How we doing?
Does everybody have an answer?
Not happy, man.
I have an answer.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying Maine.
Steve saying Kentucky. Brad saying Wyoming,
Tommy saying North Carolina, Brody saying Vermont,
Chester saying Pennsylvania, and Cal saying Oregon.
The four states are Alabama, Louisiana, New Mexico, and West Virginia.
So I think we went an O for there.
Nobody got it right.
No way.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
Pretty soon there's not going to be enough questions left to catch, Cal.
New Mexico was the first to do it in 1963,
and Alabama was the latest to do it in 2006.
Besides those four states with black bears,
California and Montana have grizzlies as their official state mammal.
Was the teddy bear incident, was that in Alabama?
I thought Mississippi.
Oh, it was in Mississippi.
Question seven.
The topic is foraging.
This next great question comes to us from Tyrell Minor.
If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to
trivia at themeateater.com.
The roots of this invasive plant were used as a coffee bean alternative by Confederate soldiers.
The flavor was described as bitter with nutty notes and hints of sweet potato.
The roots from this invasive plant were used as a coffee bean alternative by Confederate soldiers.
The flavor was described as bitter with nutty notes and hints of sweet potato.
Steve, you had a pretty quick answer.
You know this one?
Phil, if I get this right, where does that put me?
If you're the only one to get it right, you're still not in the right place.
What was the category in that one?
Cooking?
Foraging.
Foraging.
The roots. Foraging. Again, the roots of this invasive plant were used as a coffee bean alternative by Confederate soldiers.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yep.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying chicory.
Steve saying dandelion.
Brad saying bitterroot.
Tommy saying ginseng.
Brody saying phragmites chester saying wild
mustard and cal saying chicory the correct answer is dandelion or chicory they did both oh you are
shitting me well i mean i got it right but you can't give it to chicory people i can give it
to chicory people i have never used dandelion and chicory. I used to be obsessed, obsessed with the Civil War.
Never, ever have I heard of dandelion root being a substitute for coffee.
Well, my kids have a bag of this stuff called dandy blend, and it's like kid coffee made out of dandelion root.
Oh, yeah.
Tracy Crane used to serve that to me.
Confederate soldiers referred to this as Lincoln's coffee, citing the president who cut off their supply to the real stuff.
Other coffee bean alternatives the Southern soldiers used included acorns, asparagus, beech nuts, fig, potato peels, and cigar butts.
That's a good one.
Question eight.
We'll get a scoreboard update after this.
The topic is biology.
Now, this is a riddle that you need to solve.
What'd you write for that last one there, Tommy?
I wrote ginseng.
Again, the topic is biology, and you need to solve this riddle.
A woodchucks is blue.
A bullfrogs is green.
A walleyes is white.
A barn owls is red.
And an armadillo doesn't have it at all.
What is it?
Hit me again.
A woodchucks is blue, a bullfrogs is green, a walleyes is white, a barn owls is red,
and an armadillo doesn't have it at all.
What is it?
Did you think of this, Spencer, or is this some sort of old
saying? I thought
of this. I love it.
He's thinking of that like,
something borrowed, something blew.
Tell you about my tiki drink.
How old I told you about? Oh yeah, tell me that again.
One of sour,
two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak.
It's the, you know,
you can use that formula.
I like it.
Mixology formula.
One more time.
A woodchucks is blue, a bullfrogs is green, a walleyes is white, a barn owls is red,
and an armadillo doesn't have it at all.
Does everybody have an answer?
Where does this put me, Phil?
I got it right.
We'll have to wait for the scoreboard update after the question.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Giannis saying tongue, Steve saying skin, Brad saying eye color, Tommy without an answer, Brody saying eye color, Chester saying tail, and Cal saying skin.
Nobody got it right.
What?
The correct answer is eye shine.
Wow.
This is caused by a reflective membrane at the back of the eyes.
Some of the animals that have no eye shine at all include brown bats, feral hogs, and humans.
And if you were wondering, according to the crypto community, the eye shine for Bigfoot, vampires, and El Chupacabra is red.
Do you feel deceived?
Yeah, a little bit.
You think you'd have got it if you got a few more guesses?
No.
Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update.
Tied for third place with one point, we have Brad and Brody.
In second place, all tied up with two points,
we have Chester, Giannis, Steve, and Tommy.
And in first place with four points is Ryan Callahan.
So in order for anyone to beat Cal, he'll have to get the next question wrong.
And either Chester, Yanni, Steve, or Tommy will have to get it right.
Question nine, the topic is public lands.
What is the top cause of death in national parks?
I'll give you a hint.
It is not vehicle related.
Again, what is the top cause of death in national
parks and has nothing to do with vehicles?
Cal, how you feeling?
Luke warm.
And who needs to catch him?
Tommy? I feel hot.
Okay.
Tommy, Steve, Yanni
and Chester all have a chance
to catch up. Was that a tip, Steve?
No.
No?
Oh, hyperthermia?
There's no way it's hyperthermia.
Cal, you have an answer.
I've got a bunch of answers.
Okay, you going to pick one?
Is it just like you wanted to be precise or expansive?
Just one.
Expansive would probably be the Brody strategy.
Again, what is the top cause of death in national parks?
Does everybody have an answer?
No.
No.
Let me write down this last word.
How many words you got?
Ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Yanni saying drowning, Steve saying heart attack,
Brad saying falling, Tommy saying heart attack,
Brody saying heart attack, Chester saying heart attack,
Cal saying allergic
reaction that could be it Cal that could be it that's a good guess the correct answer is
drowning anyone get it Yanni got it were they counting heart attacks in that this is from a
mortality study done by the National Park Service. Drowning was overwhelmingly the top cause of death,
followed by motor vehicle crashes, falls, natural causes, and suicide.
The deadliest national park of them all is North Cascades National Park in Washington,
which has a death rate six times greater than Alaska's Denali National Park,
which is second place.
It means more outdoorsy type folks go to Denali National Park, which is second place. It means more outdoorsy type folks go to Denali National Park.
That's what it means to me.
Everybody else is closer to their vehicle.
North Cascades National Park is also one of the least visited national parks,
and it was on the trivia, I think, week one or week two.
That's right.
Only one person drowned there.
Name two of the national parks, and one of them was North Cascades.
What did you put down?
That week?
No, right now.
Just now I wrote Heart Attack.
Phil, give us a scoreboard update.
Cal still in first place with four points, but Giannis has three.
So if Gianni gets the next one right and Cal gets it wrong,
then we've got a tiebreaker.

I heard you were a fishing guide.

I guess he doesn't like fishing too much at all, does he now, Phil?
Forgot everything he knew.
Or did he never know?
I don't love Tinkara.
Okay, no, me neither.
I mean.
You don't need to love it.
They don't want you putting a big old crawler on there for a while.

Brody had two.
Steve had three, along with Tommy.
Yanni had four.
Chester also had two.
Giannis, you had four.
And Cal had five.
So I beat, like, tell me again who I beat.
It doesn't matter.
And Spencer predicted that the winner here would have six.

I feel great for you, Cal, but it's a pretty low winning score. And Spencer predicted that the winner here would have six. So we all were below five.
I feel great for you, Cal, but it's a pretty low winning score.
Yeah.
Now, Cal, what happens next is you get to pick where a $500 donation goes.
So what's it going to be?
Because of the access issues that we have going on in the state here i'm i'm in between public land water
association which is a fantastic org and montana bha for uh a litany of elk and public land issues
so i'm gonna go with montana bha montana chapter of bha there we go i don't think they've gotten
a meat eater 500 donation yet so good on you. You know, we don't hire people from Montana
in this office.
I understand how we're missing that out.
That's it. Brad and
Tommy, thanks for playing. Tommy, you think you
represented the listeners well?
Should we invite more back?
Steve didn't beat me. We ended up neck and neck
so I think we're alright.
Brad and Tommy, thanks for playing.
