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 Brody, Yanni, Randall, Cal, Riva, Seth, and Roman. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize.

Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the overtime drought that we're currently in. Excluding the tournament qualifying episodes, we've gone 10 weeks without a game going to overtime. That is the longest stretch in Meedeater trivia history. The last time we had a tiebreaker was in October when Yanni and Steve went to overtime with eight correct answers each. The overtime drought.

Who won that one? Who won that one, Yanni? Do you remember? No, but I hope you have it in your tidbits. Yanni won it. Yanni won that one. Well done, Yanni. Overtime drought.

No, I know that for certain. Is your reservoir of overtime questions runneth over at this point? Runneth over. No, it does not. I get a lot of requests to have an overtime question every single episode for people who play at home. And then when they tie, they would like to break their tie. But overtime questions are hard.

So I don't want to just use them all willy-nilly. Got to earn them. Maybe it'll happen today. I don't know. I'll just predict an overtime right now between like, I don't know, two or three of you. I'd like that. I love it.

Now here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themeatde eater.com with the subject line. I F a Q Wyatt towns wants to know what's the worst trivia question. A fan has ever sent you. There's not one specifically, but there's an iteration of a question that I've probably received a hundred times.

What am I thinking? Yeah, it's, it's an iteration of a question that I've received a ton. I've never used it. It's like what state has the most miles of shoreline or what state has the most miles of navigable water? Everyone has a different answer. Google has different answers.

Our emails have different emailers have different answers. Nebraska, Minnesota, Kentucky, Louisiana, Alaska. A lot of tourist agencies like to claim that they have the most miles of shoreline or water or navigable water. That's just not a question we're ever going to do because it's very murky as to what the correct answer is. But folks from Nebraska like to say it's them. People from Kentucky like to say it's them. It's all over the map. We're not going to have that one in trivia, though. The other one, the worst questions that I get would be people who write in and specifically

say, here's a zero percenter or here's one that's going to stump the room. I don't want those questions. The goal isn't to stump you guys in the room or to stump our listeners. We want to create a fun game that people have a chance at getting the questions correct. So if you think you have a question that's a zero percenter or your goal

is to stump Yanni and Brody and Steve and Cal, it's probably not going to make it on the show. There we go. Now for the housekeeping portion of today's show, I'm going to throw it to Randall to give you a recap of bar trivia that Phil Randall and I attended last night.

Randall, tell folks about the evening. It was a lovely evening. We played a four round, tenion each round trivia game. We would have come in third had we challenged a scoring error in the final round, but third place just isn't worth it. Don't want to fight over third. Yeah, yeah.

That's just asking for it. But it was a great, great evening. Chili was there. Maggie was there. Shelby of the Shelby Chili was there. Maggie was there. Shelby of the Shelby Index was there. And my wife Sydney was there. What were the stakes? What could you want?

Free bar tab. Yeah. But they're unclear about what that is. If we had created a $500 bar tab, I can't imagine that would have been covered. Probably is capped somewhere like 50 bucks. It's 50 bucks i'm pretty sure okay yeah and to your earlier point they there were no zero percent i mean it was it was a well uh executed 20 teams mind you third third place out of 20 teams yeah and and they were all

good questions uh there were no like questions where you just thought there's no way i could possibly answer that there's sufficient context to have like a back and forth between the team and. What were some of the like the questions like. There is the four categories. There is Gen Ed. There's Ski Mountains. State Capitals and 90s movies. And I think everybody on the team had at least one question

where they had the clutch bit of info. Randall and Sidney had that like 20, 25 times. Randall's being humble. Probably 70% of our answers came from Randall. Randall knows as much trivia as you'd expect him to know. I will say Chili was the only one who knew the name of the mongoose from the Jungle Book. Ricky Ticky Tavvy. Ricky Ticky Tavvy.

Ricky Ticky Tavvy. Oh, like the original Jungle Book. Yeah. Chili pulled that one out just without flinching. Redyard Kipling. Yes. Yeah, it was a great evening. I look forward to playing again.

Phil, you have anything to add about our third place bar trivia? Well, Randall really dug himself into a hole because we're not playing trivia without Randall anymore. If he can't make it, I don't even know. He only lives like 45 minutes away. I think the biggest revelation of the evening was that the closest Phil

has ever come to getting into a bar fight was when he confronted someone in a trivia match for catching them cheating in the restroom by looking at answers on the track. Oh, yes, Phil. I think that was the watershed moment for me last year. Also, he had to Google who the bass player for Kiss was.

It's like, come on. We can do it again. We'll have more Bar Night Trivia updates in the future. Now, the Shelby Index for today's round is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is fishing, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these colorful fish has the heaviest world record? Is it bluegill, yellow perch, white bass, or green sunfish? What these fish have in common is they all have a color in their name,

so which of these colorful fish has the heaviest world record? Bluegill, yellow perch, white bass, green sunfish. Pretty confident looking room. Randall, have you caught all of these fish um i assume i've caught a green sunfish at some point so cal have you caught all four of these fish i'm not sure a green sunfish is a real fish okay well the igfa record books recognizes it as a real fish yeah they're they're they're like native to the western united states uh is it white individual species then it's a green sunfish helping out cow sunfish is a white perch like up in maine considered a white bass i don't think they're the same. They're not the same fish. I worked on the Missouri River in South Dakota.

I think we had one documented white perch ever. Really torn. I'll tell you that. Really torn. Brody, I think we're waiting on you then. Oh, we're waiting? Well, you should have said something. I just went with the gut.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying yellow perch. Roman saying green sunfish. Randall saying white bass. Cal saying white bass. Yanni saying white bass. Seth saying white bass. Brody saying white bass.

The correct answer is white bass. The room did well. The world record green sunfish is 2 pounds 2 well. The world record green sunfish is 2 pounds, 2 ounces. The world record yellow perch is 4 pounds, 3 ounces. The world record bluegill is 4 pounds, 12 ounces. And the world record white bass is 6 pounds, 13 ounces. That record was set in Virginia in 1989 and then tied in Louisiana in 2010.

So two pounds bigger than the world record bluegill. You know those weird like triploid bluegills? Are they included in that world record? The IGFA record books breaks it out much further than you think it would. Like those weird man-made bred ones. You know what I'm talking about? Well, they have, I don't know, it feels like dozens of Sunfish

and Bluegill records in there. So I would imagine that they have, like even hybrids that you didn't know existed are in the IGFA record book. I think if someone was determined, they could go to the IGFA record book, find a record that's easy to beat with like a certain line class,

and then go out and beat it tomorrow if you wanted to. Question two. The topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Corey Davis. What is the smallest subspecies of moose which is found in places

such as Alberta, Washington, and Utah? Brody is confident. Good question, Spencer. Okay. Deani likes this one question Corey Davis Corey Davis what is the smallest subspecies of moose which is found in places such as Alberta Washington and Utah I think Corey Davis used to be a wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans I don't think this is the same Corey Davis though you know what's a weird IGFA thing, too? What? When you're, like, East Coast, you got all those states, little tiny states

packed together, cute little states. You're talking about offshore records, right? Yeah. And it's like, you can look on your phone and be like, okay, I have an X pound whatever. And if you return to a port in a state that is not the port that you left from, you can get that state's record.

It's not the port that you left from? At that point it comes down to the people. It's crazy. It's like we have better fishermen. Yeah. You're like, ah, I'm not going to go back to Delaware. I'm going to park it in Rhode Island and then

I'll have the, whatever, bluefin tuna record. Again, what is the smallest subspecies of moose? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying cascade Roman. Without an answer, the rest of the room saying shiris.

They got it. The correct answer is shiris. Shiris are the smallest moose subspecies in terms of height, weight, and antler size. The Boone and Crockett World Record score 205 inches, which is 40 inches smaller than the World Record Canada moose and 50 inches smaller than the World Record Yukon moose. Shiris have the southernmost range and are found in British Columbia, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nevada. Any of you boys killed a Chirus moose?

I have a cow. Cow Chirus. What state was that in? Colorado? I killed a Chirus bull in Montana. Oh, very nice. Where's that at? You got a spot picked out in your house? Yeah, it kind of travels around with us and always occupies the place of prime importance in the living room. Okay. I've got like a big slab that we cut off as a plaque and got it Euro mounted.

Question three. The topic is cooking. Merriam-Webster defines this 10-letter word as, quote, a crescent-shaped dumpling filled with pork pan-fried and then steamed. Merriam-Webster defines this 10-letter word as a crescent-shaped dumpling filled with pork pan-, and then steamed. See some hangman dashes being drawn on boards. Randall is confident. Yanni has not picked up his whiteboard yet.

Brody's trying to find all ten letters. What do you got, Kevin? I want to point out to you that I'm turning the board instead of flipping the board over very nice did you get some feedback on the the board flipping situation i didn't um okay it was on the brink of being addressed cal it was almost a problem with how often i just truly wasn't paying attention so i i do apologize it wasn't an intentional thing. Okay. But I did notice, and it was already wrapped up in conversation, that you misinterpreted the upside down answer. That was going to be a future housekeeping. I think you wrote Arkansas and I said Alabama.

It was Alabama or something like that. And it would have been a fun thing to come clean with at the end if it would have been a tie. But then it never happened. The time had passed. Yeah, the YouTube commenters were on to you, Cal. Hey, Phil, is there any way you could pipe white noise into our headphones when these discussions are happening

so we can actually think, you know, come up with an answer? It's impossible. Here's the question again. If somebody in this room has never gone to a takeout food restaurant. You're helping out folks, Cal. Merriam-Webster defines his ten letter word

as a crescent shaped dumpling filled with pork, pan fried and then steamed. Seth and Yanni have blank boards. I can't see Brody's board, but I assume it is as well. Randall and Cal are confident. Reva, do you have this one? No, but I assume it is as well. Randall and Cal are confident. Reva, do you have this one?

No, she has a blank board as well. A 10-letter word. I assume the word isn't in the question. Yeah, the answer is not dumpling. Is that 10 letters? I don't know. No. No, it's not.

Okay. I counted. Is everybody ready? Oh, Yanni, what happened to your hand there? That's a nice looking scar. Is she just not going to tell us? Cat scratch. Took you a long time to come up with that.

Seth, do you have an answer? I do, yeah. Okay. Damn, I'm one letter over. Just get rid of a vowel. It's not coming to me. Cal, when's the last time you had this crescent-shaped dumpling? It'd be very hard to say.

Okay. What? The word will not come to me. I think we're going to have uh just move on bro i don't think i've seen that before oh my god we could just like skip this one and then put it at the end no my kid just ate like made his own oh there's a really great uh great cookbook um that is a name that's not correct, but it's by the slate.

I think her name's Michelle Wong, and it's blank made the Wong way. Okay, I think we're going to, that's enough. All right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying dim sum. Roman without an answer. Randall saying pot sticker. Cal saying pot sticker.

Yanni without an answer. Seth saying egg roll. Yanni without an answer. Seth saying egg roll. Brody without an answer. The correct answer is pot sticker. Randall and Cal got it. Pot stickers were accidentally invented by a chef in China's imperial court about 1,000 years ago. The cook forgot about a batch of dumplings on the stove leaving one side burnt he served them that way anyway and they were a hit to learn how to make pot stickers with wild game

go to the meat eater.com and check out our recipe called venison dumplings makes for a super fun get together night make a bunch of uh dumpling uh dough and then everybody can kind of bring whatever and then you roll them up and have a bunch of different courses and stuff what do you got for a freezer time of year seem like you had some feedback over here no it wasn't about i was just gonna say uh okay at what point do we get new the board is thoroughly broken uh cal next time we do an auction house of oddities, I think we can just get rid of these boards that way, and we'll bring in a whole new batch.

We're going to have to do some duct tape. You've got a flat tire over there. Yeah, I wonder if you put them all together in one big board. There's a thought. Oh, yeah. All the shit that went wrong in Mexico, sorry, Cal, is transitioning into these boards question four tires the topic is biology this next great question comes to us via john schlesinger

technology used to follow this satellite which was launched by the soviets in 1957 birthed the science of wildlife telemetry. Technology used to follow this satellite, which was launched by the Soviets in 1957, birthed the science of wildlife telemetry. Randall is confident. Randall, you have this one right. I only know one Soviet satellite. Okay. So I went with that. Process of elimination. Oh, it's the one Soviet satellite.

Okay. So I went with that. Process of elimination. Oh, it's the name the satellite. Name the satellite. Oh, thank God. That's right. Yanni, you'd be happy to know that one of your questions from when you hosted Meat Eater Trivia came up last night in Bar Trivia. It was about the state capital that has an elevation over 7,000 feet.

Great. You guys must have got it. We got that one right. the state capital that has an elevation over 7,000 feet. Great. You guys must have got it. We got that one right. I don't think we would have had you not had that question on the show. So well done, Yanni. You were there in spirit. Yeah.

Technology used to follow this satellite, which was launched by the Soviets in 1957, birthed the science of wildlife telemetry. Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? Same as Randall. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

So we're naming the satellites? Naming the satellites. And I don't even know if I know the name of a Russian satellite. I might just know the name of a Russian other space projectile. Yeahile yeah okay i only know one satellite and i only know one cosmonaut brody how we doing over here horrible who's the cosmonaut yuri uh gagarin i believe i can't recall the exact spelling. Why do we know him? He was an early pioneer of space. I think he was the first man in space. Yeah. The first dog was Laika.

I know that. I didn't know we had any dogs in space. Oh, good for us. Was it an American dog? It was them. I mean, if you're talking about us as a human species, we can all look back on this fondly as a collective effort. Okay.

Is everybody ready, Brody? Nope. I think we're going to have to move on. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying Sputnik. Roman saying Schlesinger Satellites. Randall saying Sputnik. Cal saying Sputnik.

Yanni saying Sputnik. Seth saying Sputnik. Brody without an Yanni sang Sputnik Seth sang Sputnik Brody without an answer Not really Yeah it's close enough bro He made it a potato He said Sputnik Sputnik

We're gonna give it to you The correct answer is Sputnik S-P-U-T-N-I-K That's a good trivia question Spencer How many animals are still rotating around the Earth that people have sent up there? Do you know the answer? Well, there's dogs and monkeys and birds and fish and dirty little secret. There could be like an IGFA record set there, the biggest fish caught in space.

Oh, there you go. There we go. Bill Cochran was an engineer in the 1950s who worked two jobs. One was helping build the Discover satellite, which was America's answer

to Sputnik, and the other was helping track bird migrations. Eventually, someone at his migratory bird job asked about putting a radio transmitter on a mallard,

so that's what they did. This was essentially the same technology different nations were using to track their spy satellites. Question five. The topic is public lands. What state is home to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and Mesa Verde National Park? Confident Brody. Maybe this will get his game back on track. I don't know. I think that pot sticker question just doomed me.

Doomed him. What state is home to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and Mesa Verde National Park? Has anybody been to one of these places? Similar. I think you shouldn't be allowed to answer that question. Okay. Brody would prefer you hold your answer on if you've been there.

It's a certain type of intellect that can store a pot sticker in their brain. It's only possessed by Randall and Cal in this room. I've been to one. Really wanted to go to another one. Okay. Is that helping folks out? No. Probably not.

Okay. Is everybody ready? Quick answers this round. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Riva saying New Mexico. Roman saying New Mexico. The rest of the room says Colorado. They got it.

The correct answer is Colorado. Colorado has four national parks, with the other one being Rocky Mountain National Park. After Alaska, California, and Utah, it has the most national parks in the nation. Mesa Verde and Black Canyon of the Gunnison are two of the smallest parks west of the Mississippi River. Did a family road trip through all of these. All of them? Yeah.

How'd that go? Oh, yeah. You know, peaks and valleys. Okay. For sure. Great Sand Dunes was sand mites or sand lice or something. You take those with you

to the next national park? Oh, man. Everybody just got destroyed. You know, because you're like kids and you want to like go roll down the sand dunes or whatever. Yeah, it was nasty. If you keep going past great sand dunes, there's a place that has alligators.

You mean like fossils or what? No, no, no. Live alligators. Like a zoo. Like a roadside attraction. It's the weirdest thing in the world. Have you driven past that? Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a scoreboard update. We'll do really quick. I was too busy processing Sputnik. Brody, did you get Sputnik or not? I did not. Okay. We've got... I swear I don't try to do that. We've got Roman with zero points. Reef has got one. Brody has

three. Giannis and Seth have four and tied up in first place with 5 points and a perfect game are Cal and Randall 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

The satellite guy. He is our most prolific, prolific emailer. Uh, and he probably has the highest like batting percentage as far as questions being used how many uh hats and t-shirts have you sent john he's been our listener question of the week before uh so he is i don't know if he won a board game or a book at that time i haven't even read the question yet randall's writing it down because he can see it on the screen here it is john if

you feel like you're not getting you know what you need out of this deal uh just write in just say uh heads up yanni that'll be the code word and spencer will pass that off to me with your address i'll take care of you uh-huh and uh and roman will probably get your email as well that's right here's the question we the question. What federal agency almost exclusively drove P. Green vehicles until the year 2000? I feel like there could be a visual component to this because, you know, P. Green's open for interpretation. Is that a technical term? Is that like?

No, it's not a technical term. Yeah, if it's not technical. There's enough other context clues there. Give us the code associated with P. Green. What federal agency almost exclusively drove P. Green vehicles until the year 2000? I believe it was when I read something from Auto Trader about this, and they described them as P. Green. So there you go, P-E-A, Green. Okay.

What federal agency almost exclusively drove P. Green. Huh. So there you go. P.E.A. Green. Okay. What federal agency almost exclusively drove P. Green vehicles? If I've got the answer right. Until the year 2000. Phil, you can't pull up a picture of P. Green. I bet people have different interpretations of that. What company had the contract? There's an answer to that? I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Okay. Had to have been good. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying Rangers. Roman saying Forest Service. Randall saying Forest Service.

Everyone else saying Forest Service. They got it. The correct answer is the U.S. Forest Service. For decades, the agency almost exclusively purchased vehicles that were painted a color that became known as Forest Service Green. The iconic color started getting phased out about 20 years ago as a way to save money. The Forest Service said it cost $500 more per vehicle to get them painted that color and then made it harder for the agency to resell them. They have now transitioned to driving white vehicles instead, which are the cheapest to purchase.

This change has actually made the remaining Forest Service green trucks a collector's item. Can you guys now picture the Forest Service green vehicles? Oh yeah, I always wanted one. Yeah, I just don't know if I'd- I think it's closer to a mint green. I was going to say. Once it fades out a little bit.

Pea green's like- Pale pea green. Picture pea soup, man. It's like a dull kind of olive-y. Yeah, OD. No, I picture a Forest Service green. Unappealing green. Yeah.

Do you guys recall seeing Forest Service green trucks all over the mountains back in the day? Well, I had friends driving them during high school. Oh, like they bought them from the Forest Service or they were trying to match the Forest Service? No, it bought them from the Forest Service. Yeah, I know somebody that, I think he still owns one. Yeah. Yeah, I know.

But it kind of, I think, hurt us when we were trying to get hunting permissions out of this vehicle. Oh, when you were trying to get them? Anti-government. this vehicle that's good question seven the topic is fishing the three most popular freshwater fishing lines at shields and bass pro shops are braid monofilament and blank the three most popular freshwater fishing lines at Shields and Bass Pro Shops are Braid, Monofilament, and Blank. You need to tell me what that third one is. Confident room, except for maybe Roman and Reva. I wonder who fishes here. Reva, I wonder who fish is here.

Reva, I like that. Oh, it's a t-shirt under a different sweater. Yeah, recognize the logo? He doesn't like it anymore. I thought you had a hoodless sweatshirt. Oh, yeah. New merch idea right there. There you go.

Is everybody ready? Did you burn your hand or something? No, it. New merch idea right there. There you go. Is everybody ready? Did she burn your hand or something? No, it's the cat got after me. Is that what happened? No. Okay, so you just can't tell us or what? No. Okay. Can you tell us when the mics are off? Maybe.

Okay. Interesting. Heck of a scar on Yanni's hand. Please write in. Let us know what you think happened to Yannis. Yeah. Is everybody ready? I can pull up my pant legs, too, if you want to get Yanni on. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva and Roman without an answer.

The rest of the room says fluorocarbon. They got it. The correct answer is fluorocarbon. Fluorocarbon is less visible and more durable than monofilament, but is typically more expensive and has less knot strength. Fluoro is a great choice when going after spooky fish with light bites. To learn more about these three types of line,

check out our article on TheMeadEater.com called What Fishing Line Should I Choose? Seth, what situations do you like to tie on fluorocarbon? I use it as leader material when I'm walleye fishing. There you go. Pitching jigs with it? Yep.

Question eight. The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question comes to us via Philip C. The History Channel launched this survival competition reality show in 2015, which they call, quote, the ultimate test of human will. Randall is confident. It's the only one. The history channel launched this survival competition reality show in

2015, which they call quote, the ultimate test of human will. This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Seth, you know this one. No. Brody, you know this one.

Pretty sure. Pretty sure I got it. Cal, you got this one? No idea. Okay. I mean, I know names of shows, so I picked one. Sure.

Is everybody ready? Looking for the History Channel survival competition reality show launched in 2015. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying alone. Roman saying survivor. Randall saying alone.

Cal saying alone. Yanni saying naked and afraid. Seth saying alone. Brody saying alone. The correct answer is alone. Cal and Brody, I think, kept the perfect game going. Not me. I'm sorry.

Cal and Randall. We'll get a scoreboard update to confirm after this. The grand prize for winning alone is $500,000. Clay Hayes, who won season eight, survived for 74 days in the Canadian wilderness. He said in an Outdoor Life article that he wore the same First Light base layers for a month straight, calling Marina Wool a miracle fabric that helped him win the show. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Let's see here. We've got...

Out of the game are Roman and Riva. Those are the only two. Everyone else is technically still in. Giannis and Brody have six points apiece. Seth has seven. And perfect games, Cal and Randall tied up in first place. Shaping up for a tiebreaker. We recently bathed together, so it's kind of funny.

We did. Okay. Did you boys go to the hot spring together? Yeah, the hot spring. That would be another way to say it. Hot spring, yeah. Got to soak in. Question nine.

The topic is hunting. This type of motor, which comes in short tail and long tail, is commonly used on duck boats. This type of motor, which comes in short tail and long tail, is commonly used on duck boats. Randall, is this going to keep the perfect game going? Is it a brand name or is it a type of motor? It's not a brand name.

Okay. How about you, Cal? I think so, but it could just be something that we say. Yeah, that's what I'm, that's what I'm. Okay. I'm wondering if there's a more technical term. Wow. Yeah.

Dropping hints there, Randall. I mean. For who? I just need to get it right. That's all that matters. Maybe we'll have our first ever perfect game tiebreaker. Ooh. It's never been a thing in meat eater trivia.

We've come real close before. This could be the day. Real close. Is everybody ready? Looking for the type of motor which comes in short tail and long tail that's commonly used on duck boats. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying outboard. Roman without an answer.

Randall saying mud motor. Cal saying outdrive. Yanni answer. Randall saying mud motor. Cal saying outdrive. Yanni saying mud. Seth saying mud motor. Brody saying mud motor. The correct answer is mud motor. Randall got it right. Cal, can you prove to me that people call those outdrives?

That's what we called it on every episode that I was on for the duck show. And it had. Because I thought Mud Motor was a brand name. There's Mud Buddy. Mud Buddy. Right. So Mud Motor came from Mud Buddy, which would be the brand name. So instead of being.

I think it's the other way around. I think Mud Buddy came from Mud Motor. Well, like I said said before i don't actually know this i will do some googling after i read our factoid but for now cal we're going to say you're wrong yeah whatever mud motors are designed to navigate through shallow hazard filled waters that have dense vegetation stumps and rocks unlike outboard, mud motors are air cooled instead of water cooled, which makes them superior in shallow waters. They gained popularity after World

War II, where Germans used them to cross shallow waterways. Cal, we're now going to look up, what'd you call it? Out motor? Out drive. Out drive motor. See what it says. Out drive, stern drive drive i'm not seeing anything that talks about them being a mud motor cal like i said man i'm not gonna go to the board on this one okay is anyone who want to defend cal's answer he's passionately dispassionate about this

i mean that's that's just yeah just what we called it. So I thought there was another term, like an inline, uh, something else that, which was what I was trying to come up with, but I couldn't think of it. So. Sorry, Cal. I'm seeing surface drive, which is another name for the short tail motors, but I'm not seeing any out drive. We're onto question 10. The perfect game remains in randall's

grasps the topic is wildlife this is our listener question of the week which was won by samantha mccann for sending this great question samantha is going to get a board game signed by the crew if you want a chance to win our listener question of the week then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. Name one of the six tortoises native to North America. Name one of the six tortoises native to North America. Brody is confident. Doesn't matter, though, does it? Does the reinal have it? Well, Cal could tie him.

So could Seth. Oh, so could. Wow, Seth. Good on you. Thanks, Spencer. I've been so focused on that end of the table that I almost forgot about our other players in the room. So Seth, who has not picked up his whiteboard yet. I'm proud of you, Seth.

Thanks, Cal. Name one of the six tortoises native to North America. You could have given me six guesses at how many tortoises are native to North America, and I don't think I would have come up with that number. So, God. Has anybody ever seen a tortoise in this room? Like out in nature? Oh, no.

You did, Cal. That's fun. Do you know what it was? Yeah. Okay. So you think you know what it was? Yeah. Okay. So you think you have this one right? I know one of the six for sure. Very good.

Randall, do you have this one right? Are you going to get the perfect game? Can I give you a hint? No, don't do it. Do not give him a hint. I'm going with a very vanilla guess. Okay. Context.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Reva saying snapping turtle. Roman saying snapping turtle. Randall saying desert. Cal saying gopher. Giannis saying desert. Seth saying brown.

Brody saying desert. The six tortoises are Texas tortoise, gopher tortoise, Bolson tortoise, and any of the three types of desert tortoise, which are Mojave desert tortoise, Sonoran desert tortoise, and thorn scrub tortoise. If you just said desert like Randall,

I will give it to you. That is a correct answer. The desert tortoise thing division has been much debated. I could have named a lot of different brands of outdrive motor. Desert tortoise. Come on. I decided ahead of time. That's why I phrased it that any of the three types of desert tortoise.

It's even debated if there's five or six because of how people will lump and split the desert tortoises. Well done, Randall. Perfect game. His first ever perfect game. Felt like a long time coming. You've threatened before, but now you've done it. You just needed that trivia bar warm-up last

night. I gotta say, this last question really makes it feel kind of hollow. No, I don't think so. I mean, I'm still overjoyed. You know, it's not lost on me what a wonderful privilege it is to play this game. Just want to thank all of my competitors for this moment um you got one answer though that covers 50 of the question that's kind of i mean come on now the gopher tortoise six choices but whatever

the first three were when you're reading those i was like oh there's no way that right desert is a thing the gopher tortoise i should just put america's tortoise there you go the gopher tortoise is found in louisiana mississippi alabama georgia south carolina and florida it's the only tortoise naturally found east of the mississippi river the other five species of tortoise are found in california nevada utah arizona texas and mexico What happens next, Randall, is the perfect game winner. You get to choose where a $1,000 donation from me, Dieter, goes. What's it going to be? Guard the gate, Randall.

Guard the gate. I'm trying to sway him. Are you asking for a CRWM? Oh, yeah, 100%. Yeah, let's do that. Times of the essence. There's no more pressing. Well, there's probably a lot of pressing issues,

but it's among some of the most pressing issues facing hunters and anglers today. Explain what that is. We've now donated, I think, three straight episodes to this cause. Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management. And I think I'll let one of our resident Coloradans for responsible wildlife management and i think i'll let our uh one of our resident coloradans former coloradans uh better explain the the details than i can

uh yeah they are fighting the uh soon to be uh ballot initiative probably if it gets onto the ballot uh 91 there could be another one but in essence they're trying to outlaw the hunting of uh cats in colorado and uh a lot of people think that this is the very just the front tip if that goes then all sorts of other hunting will just be in line after that to get axed so even if you are not a hunter of big cats but if you like hunting in general, we all, I'm speaking for all of us in this room and at this company, believe that you should,

uh, support CWRM. Sorry. C, C, C, C, C,

Yeah. I mean, they're the only ones, I don't want to say the only ones doing anything, but literally the ones on the front line, they are organizing basically what's going to have to be the, I guess, the informational campaign that's going to have to be put out there as if this thing does become a ballot initiative,

they're going to be the anti-campaign that puts forth a lot of money, uh, if this thing does become a ballot initiative, they're going to be the, um, anti-campaign that puts forth a lot of money, energy effort to educate, hopefully, uh, the front range voters of Colorado. Cause they are the ones that are going to probably end up making this decision and try to sway them to, uh, not outlaw this hunting. Was that good? Yeah. That's why we're sending another like real information as opposed to what's the other Was that good? Yeah. That's why we're sending another. Provide real information as opposed to what the other side is doing. Yeah, correct. Sending another $1,000 their way. Well done, Randall.
