I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Brody, Yanni, Randall, Cal, Christine, Seth, Corinne, and Max. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four 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 near perfect games, which is when the winner finishes with nine correct answers. That has happened 17 times in the history of Meat Deeter trivia, which is 18%

of all games. 10 of those 17 near perfect games were done by Brody. Brody, is there one that sticks out in your mind as a near-perfect? It's happened 10 times now. Not really, man. No. I mean, did I lose to anyone who...

Are those winning nines or are those... Well, I think two of them were tiebreaker nines that happened. So if I lost to a perfect game, then that would be irritating. Okay. I think if I asked that question, Randall, he'd know the exact question that he got wrong.

Oh, yeah. Mostly. Because I would talk about it every day in the interim. Yeah. Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themeate eater.com with the subject line. I F a Q.

Eric Moore wants to know who does Steve most like to beat at trivia? Same question for Randall, Yanni, Cal and Brody. Uh, now we don't have Steve here to answer, but I feel like we can answer for him. I think it would be Brody.

Okay. They're in agreement. Uh, Steve most likes to be Steve guy. You talk about it. I've never heard of him. Now, Brody. Okay. They're in agreement. Steve most likes to beat Brody. Who is this Steve guy you talk about? Never heard of him. Now, Brody, who do you enjoy beating most at trivia? Everyone.

Okay. And come on, give us a better answer than that. No, I'm serious. That's a great answer. Everyone. He likes to beat you all equally when it comes to trivia. Yanni, who do you get the most pleasure out of winning against in trivia? Take no pleasure.

Okay. Beating other people. Uh-huh. I take a little pleasure, I guess. What a bunch of terrible answers. Just knowing, I guess, that I... Cal, give us a good answer. Who do you like beating at trivia?

I think Brody's deal is great. I don't play against anybody besides myself. The only time I want to win is when I see Steve getting all riled up and super obsessive. Then it's like something needs to happen and it can't be him winning. Randall, can you give us a satisfying answer? Who do you like to beat at media trivia? I don't know that there's a person I enjoy beating. I just love winning.

I love winning and I hate losing to Brody. They all said Christine. I'm going to change my answer to Randall. Okay, there we go. Very good. Now we have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, Yanni brought up a horror movie that he watched called Triangle. Phil disagreed, saying

it wasn't a horror movie at all. Well, Phil has an update for us on this front. Take it away, Phil. Yeah, well, if you watch the YouTube version, I kind of slipped it in there. If you're an audio-only listener, yeah, Yannis was talking about a movie he, I think it was channel-flipping somehow. That's a thing people still do in

2024, I guess. Called a hotel room. Okay, yeah, yeah. That's the best place to do it these i guess um it's called a hotel room okay yeah yeah that's the best place to do it these days and uh he said i was watching a movie called triangle i think came up and people were getting killed on a boat and then i very smugly butted in with the tone of like oh janice you you innocent dolt it's that movie's called the triangle of sadness and uh it's not a horror movie. Turns out there's another movie with triangle in the title where people are killed on a boat,

and Giannis was right. There's a movie called Triangles. I just want to apologize to Giannis for acting holier than thou. Oh, it's so nice, Phil. So there's the movie Triangle and the movie Triangle of Sadness. It was Phil's best YouTube edit ever.

He put both movie posters side by side, and both of them are set on a boat, which is quite confusing. Nicely done, Phil. I can tell you, in my later years, at 45 now, those kind of movies don't interest me one bit. Did they ever interest you?

I mean, yeah. There was a period. I don't know. It's fun to get scared and fun to see people get messed up or something. I don't know. It's fun to get scared and fun to see people get messed up or something. I don't know. Not anymore. He takes no pleasure in winning Meteor Trivia or watching people get killed on TV.

So what was it? A slasher movie? Like lots of blood and gore and stuff like that? I only watched it for 30 seconds and then I was on. But there was just a dude wearing a cloth mask, very small holes cut out of it, which I'm like, he can't be running around like he is with that thing on. And I brought it up.

It was interesting because he had an over and under, and when he fired once, then you heard the sound. Racking a shotgun. Oh, love it. Before he shot again. It's like in The Walking Dead, they never have to reload their shotguns ever. They can shoot 50 straight shells.

Shoot forever. Yeah, never see them reload. That would be nice for Duck Hunt. It would work well. 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 to everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Was that Max? You didn't interrupt. No. Oh, that was Cal.

You didn't interrupt the intro. I didn't interrupt the intro. Oh, it was Yanni. Okay. I didn't. Question one. The topic is biology, and this is multiple choice. Which of these animals does not have a baculum? Is it black bear,

raccoon, golden retriever, or Canada moose? Which of these animals does not have a baculum? Black bear, raccoon, golden retriever, Canada moose. Cal, Yanni, Seth, and Brody appear confident. Randall as well. Three of those animals have a baculum. One does not. I want squared off on a small game veterinarian. Okay.

I look forward to where this is going. Over baculum. Hmm. A small game veterinarian? Yes. And he's like, that's not what it's called. And I was like, I don't know a whole lot of stuff. A vet that only worked on squirrels and rabbits and shit like that? No.

Oh, did I say small game? Yeah. Small, you know, not small animal, not large animal. The world could use one small game vet. Yeah. Maybe busy in the fall. Is everybody ready? We always used to say it'd take a hell of a vet

to bring that one back when we'd shoot stuff. Christine, are we ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying golden retriever. Christine saying moose. I'm the only one. Shit. The rest of the room says moose.

They got it. The correct answer is Canada moose. I'm the only one. Shit. The rest of the room says moose. They got it. The correct answer is Canada moose. I'm sorry, Max. Why did you get so specific with what kind of moose? Just to, like, throw you off a little. That's what I figured. Yeah, it threw me off, so. A baculum is a penis bone.

They are found in most primates, rodents, hedgehogs, bears, dogs, walruses, seals, otters, weasels, and bats. In 2007, a four-and-a-half-foot fossilized baculum from an extinct species of walrus was sold for $8,000. The seller claimed it was the largest in the world. Question two. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Thomas Williams. They all do.

For setting this great question, Thomas 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 themeadeater.com. The topic is fishing. Name two of the five states with the most registered boats in 2022. Topic is fishing. Name two of the five states with the most registered boats in 2022. Max, do we have this one right? I sure hope so.

And it's so funny because I was trapping with Seth a couple weeks ago, and he taught me what that was. I should have... Back to the baculum. Yeah. Gave him the old baculum lesson.

We showed Max baculums off of Pine Martins, Coyotes, Foxotes, boxes, raccoons. It's like smaller than a toothpick. People would pay a lot of money for a lesson like that, Seth. Max just got it for free. We showed him four different baculums. It might be something we can auction off.

We showed him four different baculums. Yeah, a shadow box full of Baculums. Again, you need to have two states on your whiteboard. Name two of the five states with the most registered boats in 2022. I feel like, you know, those big posters that have, like, different fish sort of arranged by size and the Latin name. I think we could do a nice Baculum. There you go. Put it in the store.

From what I have seen, the badger takes the cake as far as like a giant baculum for the size of the animal. Yes. Is that consistent with what you have seen? I haven't seen a badger one. Oh, yeah. If Randall would let us come over there and grab his property. There's not a fence that would keep neighboring dogs away from your bait. That's all right.

You just got to check it every morning real early. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Minnesota and Florida. Christine saying Michigan and Florida. Corinne. What do we got there, Corinne? Florida and California. Florida and California.

Randall sang Florida and California. Cal sang Michigan, Minnesota. Yanni sang Michigan, Minnesota. Seth sang Wisconsin, Minnesota. Brody sang Florida, California. The five

states are Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, and California. The room did pretty well there. Ohio. Nice, nice, nice. Yeah, Ohio's top five population in the U.S., so that makes sense. And they're right on Erie. According to Statista, there are 1 million registered boats in Florida, 820,000 in Minnesota, 809,000 in Michigan, 652,000 in Ohio, and 626,000 in California. Rounding out the top 10 are Wisconsin, Texas, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Question three, the topic is public lands. Katmai National Park holds an annual competition that celebrates the plumpness of these animals. Vyan. Katmai National Park holds an annual competition that celebrates the plumpness of these animals. How cute. How exact do you want it?

If you thought the answer was like Labrador, you'd say Black Lab instead of Labrador. That's the specificity I would need you to go to. Yeah, there's an argument brewing here. Wow, okay. Corinne is racking her brain. I just can't think of the name of it. This is from the sixth meat-eater vertical internet culture and memes.

Public Lands. Catby National Park holds an annual competition that celebrates the plumpness of these animals. Boy, they get some fat ones, too. I'll tell you what. I believe they call them Chonky. Chonkasaurus. Brody, I gather you don't like what this national park does, huh?

Oh, why do you get that impression? I don't know. The sound you've been making the last minute. The whole thing you just did in the, yeah, exactly. No. Oh, okay. I don't got a problem with it. Oh, all right.

I kind of do. Good on you. Go ahead, Cal. The floor is yours. Well, without giving anything away, why don't you like this? Yeah, I just think, like, to our earlier conversation, the whole garden the gate thing,

this would be a good thing to be proactive on, where it's like we don't need the whole garden the gate thing this would be a good thing to be uh proactive on where it's like we don't need the whole world uh coming up with backstories and family stories and uh the anthropomorphizing of these animals because it's going to come around and be like well why the hell would you ever want to shoot one of those does everybody have their it's a chonkosaurus corinne was listening very closely Corinne did you figure out the answer? My answer is not the real answer I just can't think of this one animal

You say you're going for funny answer No I'm going for an answer that's wrong Okay Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers We have Max saying brown bear Christine saying brown bear Corinne saying ground squirrel have Max saying brown bear. Christine saying brown bear.

Corinne saying ground squirrel. Randall saying brown bear. The rest of the room said brown bear. They got it. The correct answer is brown bears. The event was first held in 2014, which was referred to as Fat Bear Tuesday. It was so popular that the park decided to make it an annual week-long competition the following year. The 2023 winner was Grazer, a 700-pound female who's 18 years old. Her competition in the final round was Chunk, who came 85,000 votes short of beating Grazer. A record number of ballots,

more than 1.4 million, were cast in the 2023 Fat Bear Tournament. What's that animal called that's like high altitude, like alpine rabbit squirrel mix? Pika? Lemming? Pika. That's what I was thinking about. Fat Pika competition. You could start that,

Corinne. That would be very, very cute. You gotta name them. Like Cal said said create a backstory now cal i think this competition is fun it's like uh celebrating the bear and sockeye salmon specifically uh showing how much weight they can put on by by time they are about to i do not argue the fun factor and it is cool but it just really hammers home like the whole park animal syndrome. Sure. The Disneyfication of.

Yeah. And it's just like, I don't know that the fun facts that are like real facts about the bears and why they're putting on the weight and the salmon and all that are hammering home as much as the. The 1.4 million people voting maybe don't think of all that stuff. I would just like to point out that I wouldn't ordinarily throw one of my competitors under the bus for using her phone, but Corinne is, Corinne is using the white, she's using the whiteboard that has shed its frame and she is currently

shopping for replacement dry erase whiteboards on Amazon. Now, Spencer, I don't know if this is not ergonomic enough, but she seems to be sufficiently displeased by her whiteboard that this is the last straw. We'll allow it, Corinne. You can shout for those whiteboards. Brody's about to ask if I would accept Grizzly. I'm not curious if you would have accepted Grizzly, Barrett.

I think we'll take Grizzly. Because that's why I asked, because I was going to put that. I think we'll take Grizzly if you said Gri I asked, because I was going to put that. I think we'll take grizzly if you said grizzly at home. No one in the room did. But I thought, isn't it that all grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies. And I think that these that live in this

park are not. It'd have gotten complicated in here if someone wrote down grizzly. But if you're playing at home and you said grizzly, you can have it at home. Question four. The topic is conservation this next great question comes to us via mike scheffer the five largest man-made lakes in the united states are built on these two rivers the five largest man-made lakes in the United States are built on these two rivers. Corinne, are the whiteboards ordered? No.

Okay. It'll happen soon. Looks like we have some good options, though. Uh-huh. Our whiteboards have broken down. They are on their final legs. I think we're going to have to get some glue and duct tape out to make them last until the new ones arrive and then uh these will show up in the auction house of

oddity someday whenever that makes its return maybe in 2024 you can have the actual whiteboards that our competitors use in the room here's the question again it's question four topic is conservation the five largest man-made lakes in the United States are built on these two rivers. Seth is confident. Seth, you got this one right. I got one of them right. Okay. One of them.

One of them he knows. No half points in trivia unless you're my wife. She will reward herself. Half points. And I don't argue. But if you only get one of these in the room, you just get it wrong. Man,

I don't feel good. Two rivers. You need to tell me the two rivers. Is everybody ready? Brody? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Missouri, Columbia.

Christine saying Yellowstone, Mississippi. Corinne, without an answer. Randall saying Missouri, Colorado. Cal saying Missouri, Mississippi. Yanni saying Colorado, Missouri. Seth saying Missouri, Colorado. Brody saying Missouri, Colorado. The two rivers are Colorado and Missouri.

Shit. The largest man-made lake is Lake Mead on the Colorado River in Arizona and Nevada, followed by Lake Powell on the Colorado River in Arizona and Utah. The next three lakes are located on the Missouri River. They are Lake Sacagawea in North Dakota, Lake Oahe in North Dakota and South Dakota, and Fort Peck in Montana. Phil, that's a half point for me. Just letting you know. Okay, thanks.

If you guys had to tell me the five biggest man-made lakes, how many of those do you think you would have gotten? I would have got three. Mead, Powell, Sacagawea, Oahe, Peck. Everything on Missouri. That would have been a good way for me to think about that question instead of thinking about rivers.

I wonder if pal or meat are in danger of losing their status as top two. Shrinking awful. Probably stay in the top five, though. Question five. The topic is cooking. This Argentinian green sauce, which is often served with grilled meat, uses ingredients such as parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. Brody knows this one. Max and Cal and Corinne and Christine all look confident as well.

That leaves Seth and Yanni, who have yet to pick up their whiteboards. The topic is cooking. This Argentinian green sauce, which is often served with grilled meat, uses ingredients such as parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. It's an unpopular opinion probably, but I've always felt

like this stuff's a little overrated. I think you've made this before. A little overrated. I feel like, yeah. I think it's underrated. Underrated, okay. This would be called Meat Eater First Take. YouTube boys can wear suits like Steve likes

and sit on opposite sides of the table and debate each other. Oh, that would be fantastic. That's an observation Steve has made when sports is on at the gym. He says that these guys in suits sit on opposite sides of the table and just debate each other all the time. Yeah, he's not wrong. It's Randall's favorite TV to watch. Printing money. Yeah, exactly.

Laughing all the way to the bank. This Argentinian green sauce, which is often served with grilled meat, uses ingredients such as parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. Cal, have you in fact cooked this for seth before it's a strong strong possibility although it's not like a go-to thing for me because of the oil

what do you got yanni i'll tell you that it is uh present and you now know the answer huh you know the answer yeah you figured out you didn't know it about 20 seconds ago. No, it took a second for me to remember the name of it. But it's present in the Meat Eater Cookbook. Now we're just giving away hints. And it is, the salt in there is

wrong. The amount of salt in there is wrong. Really? Yeah. I love this. Keep going. So you have to use, I can't remember now what it is, but it's like a quarter. If you're going to make it. Who should I file my complaint with when I make this and it's too salty? That's a pretty big mistake. Who should I file my complaint with when I make this and it's too salty?

Sounds like a pre-Randall publishing team issue. That's a great way to promote the fact that we've got a new cookbook coming out. Totally. It's a outdoor cookbook. All right. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying chimichurri.

Christine saying pesto. Corinne and Randall and Cal and Yanni and Seth and Brody saying chimichurri. They got it. Who spelled it right? Correct answer. I don't know if any of you spelled it right. I can tell you who was the most wrong, and that was Seth.

Seth was the most wrong. But we'll give it to him anyway. Brody likes looking at my answers just so he can laugh. And how bad I've spelled chimichurri. Although it's less popular, there's also red chimichurri, which is made with paprika and dried chilies. Green

chimichurri is also used in pastas and dried chilies. Green chimichurri is also used in pastas and as a marinade. To learn how to make it, go to TheMeatEater.com and read Danielle Pruitt's recipe called venison tongue chimichurri. Steve said Danielle's recipe created the best tongue he's ever had. Listen, I think for hundreds of recipes that are in that book to have so far one miscalculation. There you go. Chimichurri. If you want to spell that correctly, C-H-I-M-I-C-H-U-R-R-I. No, did not spell it that way.

I missed an R. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Max, Corinne, and Christine all have three points. Seth and Cal have four, and it's a three-way tie. For first place, Brody, Giannis, and Randall all have a perfect game. Golden Retriever. My goodness.

You're a dog guy, too. I know. Question six. Big dog guy. Big dog guy. Question six. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.

OnXMaps.com slash meet. Welcome to the OnX club, y'all. The topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Jay Thompson.

This shore bird is often associated with the prank where an unsuspecting person is given an impossible nighttime hunting task. Max is the winner. This was a race. Didn't even need to finish the question. This shore bird is often associated with the prank where an unsuspecting person is given an impossible nighttime hunting task.

We used to do this so much. Okay, well, don't give away too many hints because I see a few of your competitors are currently stumped. I know, hopefully. So I know this. Shot clock, 10 seconds here. I'm at a loss for the...

You don't know it, Randall. This is one of those things that when you're a little kid, you're like, oh. There's some mystery to it, but then once you... Handing out some more hints. Yeah, no, it's shot clock. Here we go. Seth and Brody seem confident.

Cal, you have this one right I assume I assume too Randall have you written anything down yet No I'm I'm drawing a blank here I'm going to go with the shot clock Let's go Randall's face is starting to red

8 7 6 5 3 2 1 Eight. Okay. Seven. Randall's struggling. Five. Caught him now. Three. Here's the question again. This shorebird.

Ready? This shorebird is often associated with the prank where an unsuspecting person is given an impossible nighttime hunting task. We're waiting on Yanni and Randall. Do you boys give up yet? I don't know if I'm going to get it. They give up. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying snipe.

Christine without an answer. Corinne saying dodo question mark. Puffin question mark. What if one of those was the correct answer, Corinne? What would I have to do then? Randall without an answer. The fewest question marks. I was going to say snipe. I was going to say snipe.

And then what happened? I didn't think of the word. Cal says snipe. If I had come up with the answer, it would have been snipe. Yanni says seagull. Seth says snipe. Brody says snipe. They got it. The correct answer is snipe. The snipe hunt prank dates back to the 1840s.

It's a practical joke where someone is told to go outdoors at night and make silly noises to attract the mythical snipe, which they're supposed to catch with a bag. According to the Encyclopedia of American Folklore, the hazing ritual got popular thanks to Boy Scouts in the early 20th century. Has anybody ever been on a snipe hunt, the fake one or the real one? All I could picture in my head was the person with the bag.

I could picture a drawing of that. Max, did you haste somebody to go snipe hunting? No, I was definitely hasted. You went snipe hunting? Yeah, we were little kids and we had pots and pans and walking up and down the shoreline and then I believe someone

went on a dock and then fell in the water. There was no more snipe hunting after that. My cousins that took me snipe hunting did it in the mountains of Colorado. No bag. No shore. No crazy noises. And I took it very

seriously. As did Max. He was swinging pots and pans around out there. You guys turned out fine. Hey, Cal, have you ever shot a Wilson snipe with, like, size 2 goose shot? Yeah. Did he just disappear when that happened? Like, you're out hunting geese and ducks and...

Right. Yeah, exactly. You're like, it's the only thing. The only thing that came by today. As Brody said, it's a real bird, the Wilson's. I think they do taste good, though. I've eaten quite a few. Yeah, they're like wood top.

Never eaten one. I learned that they migrate. They do migrate, yeah. Which is cool. Tony Peterson taught me that. Question seven. The topic is fishing. This is an audio question.

Phil is going to play you 30 seconds of a tune called The Fishin' Hole. You need to tell me what 1960s television series this was the theme song for. Take it away, Phil. No, no, no. Hold on. You're supposed to start at 47 seconds. I love this song. Love the tune.

Have no idea. Yeah. Again, you need to tell me what 1960s television series that was the theme for. Is this TV series like a fishing show? Not going to give you any hints. The tune was called The Fishing Hole. So much fishing. In my mind, I didn't realize there was anything other than the whistling. Yeah, during the opening credits, you only hear... Yeah, that's the part Spencer wanted me to play. Yeah, yeah. fishing. In my mind, I didn't realize there was anything other than the whistling.

Yeah, during the opening credits you only hear... Yeah, that's the part Spencer wanted me to play. Yeah, yeah. No, I was like really thrown off when it... What's going on over there, Brody? You fall asleep, bud? The lyrics are nice, though. Yeah. Brody is off camera right now, but he's doing the board in front of the face move.

I just can't think of it. He's hiding. I just can't believe that my face turned colors that quickly on the snipe hunt. Now I'm... I can't play poker anymore, I guess. I've seen it before. Once Randall gets rocked off his game, it's not pretty. Again, you need to tell me what 1960s television series that was the theme song for. Okay, are we ready?

Yeah, I don't think anyone has this. I don't think we are. Brody, do we give up yet? If I have to. Let's run the snipe clock on this. I'm fine with that. Yeah, let's count down.

Everybody have so much fun when Randall is taking it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying three stooges. Christine saying leave it to Beaver. Corinne without an answer. Randall saying the Andy Griffith show. Cal saying Andy Griffith show. Yanni saying Andy Griffith show.

Seth saying gone fishing. Brody saying, what's that say? Dark Knight? People that were on it to try and remember. Don Knotts he wrote down. Richie Cunningham, he was on it too. The correct answer was the Andy Griffith Show. The Andy Griffith Show lasted for

eight seasons from 1960 to 1968. Its famous opening credits show Andy and Opie walking to a river while carrying fishing rods. When Griffith left the series, the spin-off Mayberry RFD was born, which only lasted three seasons.

Yanni, did you ever watch that show? It ended well before you were around, but I imagine it was still relevant when you were watching TV as a kid. Oh yeah, I watched some reruns of that. But I did not have the answer until someone said that they could only remember it because all

they remembered was just the whistling alone. But then Cal started actually whistling it. I was like, oh, that's from that show. Yeah. A lot of hours of Nick at Night have been dedicated to the Andy and Nate of the show.

Yeah, that was a big... Question 8. The topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Bo Burnett. This company, which was founded in 1922, is best known for its baseball bats and archery arrows. Seth, Max,

Yanni, Cal... I wouldn't call you. Okay, not Max. I take it back. Seth, Cal, Randall, Yanni, Cal. I wouldn't agree. Okay, not Max. I take it back. Seth, Cal, Randall, Yanni, they all look confident. This company, which was founded in 1922, is best known for its baseball bats and archery arrows. Oh, now I got it.

Okay, Max is confident again. Should have said something else up there. Phil, did you ever watch the Andy Griffith show oh yeah did you love Nick at night I had a dad who sat me down in front of the TV and made me watch like Columbo and Andy Griffith show all of his favorite shows when he was younger and do you dislike him for that

or do you appreciate it oh no I definitely appreciate it hit a lot of home runs they'd call you a slugger you remember that they don't call you that anymore? I don't know if they do. Okay. Everyone, Cal's requesting to start calling him slugger, he says.

It's better than Baculum Boy. Yeah. Baculum Boy and slugger. Just thinking, you know, if you're thinking about baseball bats, you know. Is everybody ready? Is that slugger? You should have said that. Everybody ready?

That might be a good hint to follow up on. Brody, are you ready? No. Oh, I mean, I'm ready. I should have said that. Everybody ready? Brody, are you ready? I'm ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Easton. Corinne saying Easton. Corinne without an answer. We have Randall, Cal, Yanni, and Seth saying Easton. Brody without an answer.

The correct answer is Easton. Brody! Yeah, my son's going to kill me for the bat one, man. When Easton was founded in the 1920s, it was just making bows and arrows. The company stayed that way until 1964 when it created a ski pole that became the brand's first non-archery product. Five years after that, they made their first aluminum bat. And 12 years after that, they made their first hockey stick. Easton has also dabbled in cycling gear, golf shafts, and drumsticks.

Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Make tent poles too, don't they? I think they make a little of everything, it seems like. Corinne and Christine are out of the game, but we've got Max with 5 points Seth and Brody with 6

And it's a 3 way tie for first They've got 7 points It's Cal, Giannis, and Randall Question 9 Which one did you miss? I've missed a bunch I think you've only missed one Phil says 1

We can do a review of answers here The first one was Canada Moose. Then we had the five states, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, California. Then we had Brown Bears for the Fat Bear Contest. Then Colorado and Missouri for the largest man-made lakes. The cooking question was Chimichurri. The hunting answer was Snipe. Then we had the Andy Griffith show

and the last question was Easton oh I guess you're right I just missed night good job Phil yeah I knew that I went on a snipe hunt as a kid and that it was a joke but the shore bird thing threw me off I did not think of that thing as a shore bird question 9 The topic is biology. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this five-letter word as, quote, accumulated excrement of birds, bats, and seals

valued as fertilizer. Brody had this one before I even finished reading the question. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this five-letter word. He must know his shit. That's good input, Cal.

You get it, Spencer? I get it. Accumulated excrement of birds, bats, and seals valued as fertilizer. Randall, do you know this one? I do. Randall and Brody have it right. Seth, you know this one as well.

Maybe. Accumulated excrement of birds, bats, and seals valued as fertilizer. It's a five-letter word. Feeling pretty good about a tiebreaker this game, Spencer. Okay, that'd be fun. We are now on an 11-week drought with no tiebreakers. I wish I was competing for that tiebreaker. Don't give up, Max.

I gave up a long time ago. After the first question. Just in general. Is everybody ready? Who's going to come up with an answer? Nothing. Yanni, no guess? Christine, are we ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max without an answer. Christine and Corinne without an answer. Randall saying guano. Cal saying guano. Yanni without an answer. Seth saying guano. Brody saying guano.

They got it. The correct answer is guano. G-U-A-N-O. Guano is so valuable that mining it has led to wars and slavery in some countries. Congress even passed a law in 1856 called the U.S. Guano Island Act, which granted any U.S. citizen rights to guano deposits in Caribbean nations. Guano's value comes from the fact that it's about 13% nitrogen, which is six times higher than cattle manure. Isn't it used in, or was used in gunpowder? I think it's got all kinds

of uses. You can leach nitrates out of it. I think there's even like guano coffee. There's tons of uses. It's also a pivotal plot device in the film Ace Ventura 2 When Nature Calls. Oh really? Explain that to me. a pivotal plot device in the film Ace Ventura 2 when nature calls. Oh, really? That's where I first learned the word. Explain that to me. Well, there's an evil, I'm not going to recall the plot in great detail, but essentially-

Because you can't or because you're trying to? Some sort of corporate interest has discovered that there's guano from the great white bat in these caves. And so they're trying to move, they're trying to pit a war between these two villages so that they destroy each other so that the Western interests can gain access to the guano.

Do you remember Young Guns 2? No. There's a great guano reference in Young Guns 2. I had no idea this had such a pop culture relevance. Oh, yeah. Phil, we have one question left. Much better than that one. Who's left in the game?

That was a lesson in international relations right there. It was. It Oh, yeah. Phil, we have one question left. Much better than that one. Who's left in the game? That was a lesson in international relations right there. It was. It was, yeah. The CIO was involved. Ace Ventura foils the plot and saves the day.

Okay. No. We've got Seth, Giannis, and Brody with seven points and then tied up in first place now are Cal and Randall

who have eight points apiece. That makes sense because we recently bathed together. Question 10. The topic is conservation. What non-game bird is most frequently used in state wildlife agency logos? I went through all 50 of them to answer this question. What non-game bird is most frequently used in state wildlife agency logos?

Quick answer from Cal. Cal, how do you feel about your answer? It was quick. Okay. Yeah, but I'm not going to look at it again. Okay. Can you picture some logos that have this bird on it and that's why you're going with it

what state? don't do that I almost had him yes I can but now that I'm like oh there's got to be multiple it's casting some doubt in there but the game can't go on forever randall is contributing

to the broken board pile that we have building up he just slammed his board on the table get an answer out of me uh-huh did it work good question because i think the more you think about it the more birds you think of wow okay i think i'm gonna go to r Randall's primary care physician and be like, listen, I think this game is not good for his health. Plainly, it's not. I mean, if sleep is any measure of health, this game is not contributing to my wellness. What non-game bird is most frequently used in state wildlife agency logos? Max, you like Christine's answer? Yeah, I do.

Okay. Is it different than yours? Yes, but I got three answers down. Okay. Randall, do you consume more or less alcohol when you win or when you lose a game of trivia? Pretty steady intake. Max has three answers written down.

None of them are right. Okay. You're going to pick one of them, though. I need you to pick one of them. Is everybody ready? Randall just thought of another bird he knows. A non-game bird. Is everybody ready? Randall, he's making a change.

Wow. Okay. This could win or lose him the game. Where's the shot clock? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Robin. Christine saying bald eagle. Corinne saying eagle.

Randall saying pelican. Cal saying pelica. Pelican. Oh, yeah. Yanni saying great blue Heron, I assume. Seth sang Great Blue Heron. Brody sang Bald Eagle. We have a correct answer in the room.

It's Bald Eagle. No shit. Time breaker, suckers. Brody is going to a time breaker with Cal and Randall. Wow. Play the drop, Phil. Too easy. I just want to say, Brody, I couldn't have dreamt this up any better.

Happy to have you up on top again. Happy to be aboard. I would just cut it at, if you ain't first, you're last, and then, like, go into other stuff. And we know he's not gunning for anybody. He's just happy. Gunning for everyone. What states have a bald eagle? Here's the fact of it.

There are six states that have a bald eagle in their logo. Those are Alabama, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. Some other non-game birds that make wildlife agency logos include gulls, cardinals, hawks, herons, and kites. But none of them are used more than twice. So six logos have the bald eagle. I mean, I know it's the wrong answer, or it was the right answer, but I just feel like it sort of cheapens the bald eagle to be state agent.

It's like a little league team that, no offense to state agencies, that calls themselves the Yankees, you know? It's kind of like, it's our national bird. Oh, yeah. The states can't have it. Especially Alabama, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina. You're from Ohio, Randall.

Did you know that? No, I had no idea. Plainly. Plainly. But is there a, what Fed agency uses it? Does any Fed agency use it in their logo? Not sure. The Department of Defense?

Randall, what'd you erase? Randall, what'd you erase before you put down... The seal of the present cardinal. The tie-breaking topic is public lands. This is a numerical question, so whoever is closest between our three remaining competitors will be declared the winner, but everyone in the room should play along

because if somebody gets it right on the nose, we'll add an extra $100 to the donation. What is the price of a standard 2023 America the Beautiful Pass which gains you entry to every national park for one year? Brody, do you know this answer? No.

But I feel like... We're going to have you write it to cents if you think it's $1.10. Entry to every national park for one year. That's right. What is the price of a standard 2023 America the Beautiful Pass, which gains you entry to every national park for one year? I know I bought them, like, way in the past.

Yeah, but all that stuff got cranked up. I know I bought them like way in the past. Yeah, but they, all that stuff got cranked up. I know. Hint, hint, hint. Well, it is, but you still need to know where to start. You gotta have a baseline.

Yeah. We're down to Randall, Cal, and Brody. Everyone's gonna come up with an answer. The price of a standard 2023 America the Beautiful Pass. Does anybody know this in the room?

I'm within pennies. Five to ten dollars, I think. Okay. I know that you specify 2023, but I wonder if since then it's gone up even more. Well, I wrote this question so long ago. Like I said, we've been in this terrible overtime drought and now it's, you know, it's pouring in here.

We've, we've ended. Oh yeah. I mean, that's why it was 2023. Is everybody ready? All the, there's a lot of,

a lot of griping from the, from folks about the park, just the general park passes being so high. What's new? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have max saying 79, 95,

Christine saying $80. Corinne saying $165. Randall saying 78, 99. Cal saying $165. And 50 cents. Yanni saying $225. Seth saying $90. Yanni sang $225. Seth sang

$90. Brody sang $120. The correct answer is $80, making Randall our winner and Christine hitting it right on the nose. Nicely done. We have a $600 donation being made.

Christine, did you know that or was it a guess? I bought one last year. Oh, good on you. Christine hit it right on the nose. How many parks did you visit, Christine? Two. Maybe more, maybe more. A senior annual pass is $20 and a military annual pass is free. The pass will also get you access to lands managed by the BLM,

Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and more. Randall, where is our $600 donation going to go? I'd like to defer to Christine. Oh, there you go. Very nice. Christine, wearing the Detroit Lions hat to celebrate. Can we donate to the Detroit Lions Foundation. Lions Nation.

Or just give it to the refs. Dan Campbell's. You can give it to the refs for the game. Where is the $600 donation from me, Deidre? Go. I just never thought this day would come. That's awesome. I love it.

Michigan United Conservation Club. Nice. That's cool. MUCC. There we go. The MUCC. We had at the Kalamazoo show, I think, our winner of trivia there donated to the MUCC. Now we're sending 600 more dollars their way.

What do they do? You know, I've heard other people donate for them, but also they're one of the biggest MPOs, I think, for conservation. I'll look at Kalamazoo. One of the oldest. Or oldest, yeah think, for conservation. One of the oldest. Oldest, yeah. A lot of stuff for Michigan, obviously. Mark Kenyon did some work with them for Working for Wildlife Tour and told me a lot.

I got excited about them after that. Well done, Randall. Well done, Christine. $600 going their way. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
