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, Randall, Seth, Chester, Alyssa, Chili, Roman, and Keith. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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 player performance in the conservation category. In the history of all MeDeeder conservation questions, the player average is 47%, which is the exact same as the hunting category. Now, at the top of the leaderboard, Keith, do you have any predictions about who our best performer is in the conservation category? Is this company-wide or just in the story?
Starting point is 00:01:51 Get on that mic, Keith. Company-wide, who's our best performer in the conservation category? I think Steve. Okay. Steve is not right. Chili, you got any guesses? In the conservation? In the conservation category.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Who knows the most about conservation? Man, I would have to go with our director of conservation. That'd be Ryan Callahan. Also wrong, Alyssa. Who's at the top of the... I think it was Brody. Also wrong, Chester. Randall.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Randall. At the top of the leaderboard is Randall, who gets 70% of conservation questions correct. That's followed by Steve with 66%. Brody with 63%. Clay and Cal with 59%. And Giannis with 57%. Conservation is Randall's strongest category and Brody's weakest category.
Starting point is 00:02:40 But Brody, it says a lot about you that your weakest category is a category where you get 63% of questions right. Sure, I guess. I don't know. It's a compliment. I'd rather be at the top. Now here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com with the subject line IFAQ. Nick B wants to know, what are the sound bites from Phil's drop?
Starting point is 00:03:06 My brain is convinced that it is breaking bad while also being sure that I'm 100% wrong. So what is it? Phil, what are the sound bites in your drop? Well, there's only one sound bite, and that's from No Country for Old Men. The 2007 Coen Brothers movie? It's the Cormac McCarthy adaptation. adaptation um and then who wants to be a millionaire of course that's just those two yeah and the cadence is such in the no country for old men bit that now when i like see the movie i'm expecting it to move faster but it's actually
Starting point is 00:03:36 like a very like yeah it's a very simmering scene uh where it's all very slow love it it's a great scene but it works it works. It works well. Bryce McCurry wants to know in the trivia outro, outro music, is there a hidden owl hoot at about the 25 second mark? I keep thinking I hear a little something in there. Phil, is there an owl hoot at 25 second mark? There's not.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And when you sent this to me, I thought I was going insane because I was, I've never heard this before. What is this guy talking about? And I listened back and I've only heard this on headphones before but yeah at the 25 mark of that song there's a very sort of like like reverberating kind of like boo sound okay but I'm pretty sure it's just kind of like a stray wood block it's it's not an owl though so I'm sorry to disappoint but now that I know that people are listening that hard I think you should find some ways to do some subliminal
Starting point is 00:04:24 messaging here something like that. That Bryce is the only person who's ever wrote in about that. Yeah. So one, one of our listeners noticed the fake owl hoot. We have some housekeeping to get to in a recent episode of trivia. We had a question about the Polish word for sausage, which is kielbasa. We then talked about how it's redundant for packaging to say kielbasa sausage. Well, I wasn't giving food brands enough credit because as it turns out, almost all of them correctly label kielbasa by calling them just Polish sausage or kielbasa.
Starting point is 00:04:54 But I did find one egregious example, which was done by Johnsonville on their kielbasa packaging. They had it labeled as fresh Polish kielbasa sausage, which is basically the equivalent of calling it fresh Polish sausage, sausage, but it appears that the packaging was short-lived in Johnsonville now just labels their kielbasa as Polish sausage or Polish kielbasa. Randall, in the world of hot dogs, how does Johnsonville rank for you? Are they, are they up there i associate johnsonville with their high quality brats so i was a little surprised to hear that they had mislabeled their kielbasa but i'm glad that they've corrected it because they usually seem to be on
Starting point is 00:05:36 their game okay yeah they're not not doing fresh polish sausage sausage anymore now the shelby index for today's round is a three so our winner should get six 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 just tend to win everything everything. Question one, the topic is biology. And as always, this will be multiple choice. And this first great question is via Ryan Wilkins. Biologists refer to these as, quote, bear butter, which grizzlies in the Rocky Mountains will eat thousands of in a single day. Is it mice, slugs, fish eggs, or moths? Biologists refer to these as bear butter, which grizzlies in the Rocky Mountains will eat thousands of in a single day.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Is it mice, slugs, fish eggs, or moths? Randall and Brody and Seth knew it immediately. Did you boys even need the multiple choice or did you just know this? They knew it. Just knew it. Rest of the room doesn't quite look as confident. What is bear butter? Is it mice, slugs, fish
Starting point is 00:07:01 eggs, or moths? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying moths. Roman saying fish eggs. Keith saying mice. Alyssa saying fish eggs. Chili saying fish eggs.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Seth and Randall and Brody saying moths. They got it. The correct answer is moths. Each summer, grizzly bears in the lower 48 feast on army cutworm moths. These moths migrate to high elevation rock fields above the tree line, where it's estimated that some grizzlies eat up to 40,000 each day. The moths are high in fat, which provide bears with one-third of the calories they need for hibernation have you boys ever seen uh this this happened before where they're up there flipping rocks and logs looking for moths nope i've seen uh i've seen where they've been
Starting point is 00:07:58 digging i haven't watched them 40 000 in a single day i think they said each moth is eight calories. I've heard where there's spots in Montana where you can go to watch this like a drive-in movie theater. I've seen videos. Are they those spruce moths? Army cutworm moths. Question two. The topic is gear. What camo brand introduced their bottom land pattern in 1986?
Starting point is 00:08:32 What camo brand introduced their bottom land pattern in 1986? Keith knew this one. He's our only one wearing camo in the room today. He's also our only player with a pug on his lap. Oh, we could hear it there a little. Yeah, Mavis is rocking. Say something, pug. Oh, she's got snorts, guys.
Starting point is 00:08:58 She's been pretty good so far. What camo brand introduced their bottom land pattern in 1986? Keith, what are you doing in town this week? I'm here opening up the new mediator store, flagship store over on Main Street. It's pretty cool. What are your thoughts on it right away? It's like three days until we open. I just love walking in there.
Starting point is 00:09:19 It looks like a museum. You can see all sorts of mounts that a lot of the people here have harvested. You get all the cool first light stuff. You get to put your hands on it. Some really cool meat eater stuff. It's just a dream store. Downtown Bozeman. I've got two deer hanging in there in a fish fossil.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So you go check that out. Is everybody ready? Everyone have an answer for the camel brand who introduced the bottom land pattern in 1986? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Mossy Oak. Roman saying Mossy Oak. Keith saying Mossy Oak. Alyssa saying Mossy Oak.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Chili saying Mossy Oak. Seth saying Mossy Oak. Randall saying Mossy Oak. Brody saying Realtree. The correct answer is Mossy Oak. Suck it, Brody. Mossy Oak was created by Toxie Haas in Mississippi in 1986. His vision was to take Mississippi dirt, sticks, and leaves
Starting point is 00:10:15 and use those elements in a new type of camo. Bottomland was Mossy Oak's first pattern and one of just two patterns that they print in pink. What was the fellow's name? T-O-X-E-Y? Toxie. Toxie Haas. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Question three. The topic is cooking. Also known as lace fat, this thin membrane surrounds the stomach of deer and pigs. Seth and Brody and Keith appear to know it. The topic is cooking, also known as lace fat. This thin membrane surrounds the stomach of deer and pigs. Brody, how close were you to saying mossy oak on that last one? Not at all.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I just thought of real tree and stuck with it. Mossy oak, Bottomland. I like Realtree, Bottomland. Sounds better. Also known as lace fat, this thin membrane surrounds the stomach of deer and pigs. Randall, do you have this one? I'm drawing a blank.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Okay. Oh, that's unfortunate. Wow. Could give the room a chance to catch up. Could be that seat you're sitting in. It is. In the air up there.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I feel like a circus animal up on a pedestal here. Like an elephant in Butte. Yes, indeed. Did they wrangle that thing? They did. I never saw what the conclusion was. I don't think it was as big of a deal as everyone made it out to be. I mean, how often is there an elephant
Starting point is 00:11:47 walking down the road? Yeah, but the trainer was walking around. You're downplaying the elephant at the town pump in Butte? At Montana Lil's Casino? It's like the trainer was walking around behind the thing as it was cruising around. I had to go to an appointment,
Starting point is 00:12:03 but I almost thought about driving over there in hopes that they hadn't wrangled it and seeing if I could get myself in there. Took a dump in someone's yard, I read. This sounds like a bigger deal than I actually thought it was before now. Also known as lace fat, this thin membrane surrounds the stomach of
Starting point is 00:12:20 deer and pigs. Come up with anything, Randall? Ooh, you know what? I think I did. I feel like that dump is going to be in a museum in Butte someday. Because not a lot goes on over there. They have a great gem and mineral museum in Butte. I've been a couple times.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Phenomenal. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying coddlefat. Roman saying caulfat. Roman saying call fat. Keith saying call fat. Alyssa without an answer. You've got some work ahead of you on this one. Chili saying call fat.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Seth saying call fat. Randall saying coddle. And Brody saying call fat. The correct answer is call fat. I don't think we're going to give it to Chester or Randall who said a coddle fin. I wouldn't want that.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah, we'll give it to Roman. Roman had a creative spelling. He spelled it C-O-W-L. The correct spelling is C-A-U-L. Oh, I spelled it right. Calfat. Oh, I spelled it right. I was really thinking I spelled it right.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Calfat is commonly used with sausages and meatballs as a casing. Its job is to baste the meat with moisture as it cooks. To learn how to clean it and cook it, read Danielle Pruitt's article on TheMeatEater.com called The Total Guide to Call Fat. Has anyone in this room cooked with call fat before? What do you do with it, Brody? Usually, I've only done it a couple times.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I'll just wrap a big chunk of backstrap in it. Yeah, Danielle tells you all about it. It's hard to deal with out in the field. It is. Keeping it clean and all that. only done a couple times i'll just wrap a big chunk of backstrap in it yeah danielle uh it's hard to deal with out in the field like it is clean and all that very easy to like get it covered in dirt or grass and it's uh and it's difficult to clean got juice if if you're unfortunate in your shot placement question four the topic is fishing fly lords magazine declared this national park which is in Tennessee and North Carolina, one of the greatest parks for fly fishing in America. Fly Lords Magazine declared this national park, which is in Tennessee and North Carolina,
Starting point is 00:14:17 one of the greatest parks for fly fishing in America. We have a confident Brody and Keith. I'm not super confident. Okay, quick to answer, I should say. Roman and Randall joined them. Randall, do you know this one? I do. And how close were you to coming up with call fat on that last one?
Starting point is 00:14:39 I just added an extra syllable there. A few letters. Made it a very different word all of a sudden. There was a little extra bump in the middle that I didn't need, but I was dancing around it. Yeah. Instead, you came up with the tail fin. Well, I knew, and that's why I knew it was wrong when I wrote it. Very close.
Starting point is 00:14:57 But I just, the sound of it registered true. Flylords Magazine declared this national park, which is in Tennessee and North Carolina, one of the greatest parks for fly fishing in America. This is question four. Brody, are you ready? Yeah, I'm just wondering if I need to... Go ahead. Is everyone else ready?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Don't change it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Smoky Mountains. Roman saying Great Smokies National Park. Keith saying Great Smokies. Alyssa saying the Great Smoky Mountains. Chili saying Smoky Mountains. Seth saying Great Smoky Mountains.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Randall saying Great Smoky Mountain. Brody saying Great Smoky Mountain. The correct answer is Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I think everybody gets that one. Would you have accepted Smoky Mountain? Well, Chester, I think we will accept it, Chester. Well, I'm expecting because I added great at the last second. Yeah, we'll give it to you if you just said Smoky Mountains.
Starting point is 00:16:02 But the full answer is Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That was a 100 percenter. We haven't had that in a little bit. Great Smoky Mountains has 3000 miles of streams where you can catch brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass and rock bass. The park actually closed many of its brook trout fisheries starting in the 1930s. But when populations began to rebound they opened those waters up in 2006 the other parks on fly lords list you guys want to guess them there were four other parks on their list for the best fly fishing parks in america yellowstone yellowstone is on
Starting point is 00:16:38 there rocky mountain everglades everglades was on there rocky Rocky Mountain was on there. So you're missing one. Denali. No. Acadia. No. Something in Washington. Oh, you're on the right track there. What's in Washington? North Cascades. Olympic National Park was the last one. So the total list was Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, Olympic, Rocky Mountain, and Everglades.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Question five. The topic is conservation alaska's proposed pebble mine would have been located on this notable watershed randall and brody appear to know it seth and keith are joining them with answers alaska's proposed pebble mine would have been located on this notable watershed. But do you think you have it right? Do you think you have it right, Brody? I hope so.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Okay. I saw some... We'll see. He doesn't like the wording. Okay. I saw some news this morning about the pebble mine. Was it good or bad?
Starting point is 00:17:45 We can talk about it when we're done. Okay. Alaska's proposed pebble mine would have been located on this notable watershed. Randall, in your TRCP days, did you guys work a lot with the pebble mine topic? We did indeed. Worked on that quite a bit. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer
Starting point is 00:18:14 after this. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Kenai eye roman without an answer keith saying bristol bay alissa without an answer chili without an answer seth and randall and brody saying bristol bay they got it the correct answer is bristol bay uh what was your problem, Brody, with the wording on that? The watershed part of it. It's like the watershed is like the fresh water up inland. When you see it talked about, they always refer to the Bristol Bay watershed.
Starting point is 00:18:56 I get where you're coming from. I thought you were going to want to say it was like a salmon watershed. No, no, no, no. The pebble mine deposit was discovered in the 1980s the area is thought to be home to millions of pounds of copper and gold that are worth an estimated 400 billion but it's also where the world's largest sockeye salmon run takes place a final determination was made by the epa last january that effectively blocked the mine under the clean water act the update i saw this morning was from Trout Unlimited.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And I think they said it was like another nail in the coffin. So further killing the idea that the pebble mine will happen. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. It's one of those games where everyone's on the board. They've got more than one point. Alyssa has two. Roman, Chili, and Chester all have
Starting point is 00:19:45 three points apiece. Randall, Keith, and Brody have four. And with a perfect game, it's Seth Morris, or as Steve would say, even Seth. Even Seth. Even old Seth. Should have been looking over your

Starting point is 00:22:06 The topic is hunting. This is question six. What 2001 Jeff Daniels comedy is about Ruben Soti and his upper peninsula deer camp? Keith, you know this one. It's a wild movie. Okay, there's a hint for Seth. It's a wild movie, Keith says. Randall, have you seen this movie?

Starting point is 00:22:46 I think I saw it, but I can't remember the name. Too bad for Seth. He's surrounded by folks who appear to know it. Their whiteboards are down. I'm going to give you so much shit. What 2001 Jeff Daniels comedy is about Ruben Soti and his Upper Peninsula deer camp? I just think you have to be a certain level of Midwestern to appreciate the humor in this
Starting point is 00:23:08 film. Okay, another hint. Well, you said Upper Peninsula. Son of a biscuit. There goes the perfect game, Seth. Chester doesn't know it either, and he's basically from the Upper Peninsula. It's one of those ones
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm definitely going to be kicking myself for. I know it. I thought you'd have some pushback on basically being from the Upper Peninsula. Chet, why hasn't Wisconsin just taken the Upper Peninsula? The Upper Peninsula got taken from Wisconsin. You guys should have a war over there.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Mm-hmm. Seth, are you going to come up with an answer? No, go ahead. Is everybody ready? I didn't want a perfect score anyway, Spencer. Chester's writing. A lot of writing.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Don't be so down on yourself. You're going to beat yourself. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying The Great Outdoors, Roman without an answer, Keith saying Escanaba and Da Moonlight, Alyssa saying The Big Lebowski, Chili, and Randall, and Brody with the correct answer saying Escanaba into Moonlight. Seth without an answer. That ruins his perfect game.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Brody is prodding at Randall's whiteboard because he had the instead of duh. I would point out that Chili had the as well. I had the and it happens to be his Instagram handle. I'm just going by Chili's Instagram handle. I'm just going for like the UP vernacular.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Escanaba into Moonlight follows a family on the eve of deer hunting season that must deal with the eldest son's curse of never having begged a buck. It was written by, directed by, and starring Jeff Daniels. The movie received a 79% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is similar to Grumpy Old Men. And it received a 50% critic score, which is similar to Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Must be good.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Question seven. The topic is natural history. This next great question is via Stephen Irwin. What were Lewis and Clark's first names? What were Lewis and Clark's first names? Confident looking room. Seems like most of them have come up with one answer by now. Randall has both.
Starting point is 00:25:30 His whiteboard is down. Chester looks like Chester, Roman, and Keith seem to be stuck on what the second name is for Lewis and Clark. What were Lewis and Clark's first names? A surprising upset here. Brody has his whiteboard pressed against his temple. He doesn't look confident. Confident in one. Confident in one of them. I think that's where seven of our players are right now
Starting point is 00:26:06 except for randall randall's the old circus elephant he's got perfect posture over here i'm very proud trying to maintain perfect posture but as the viewers will certainly notice i think my head has moved around in this plane during the course of the past 20 minutes. No, we're doing half points for this one, right? No. Unless you're my wife, she earns half points in these. What were Lewis and Clark's first names? Chester, you got one of them?
Starting point is 00:26:43 Maybe. You know, I think so, but... Okay. I'm not very good at this game, so. Oh, God. I just read Undaunting Courage, too. Hmm. Wow. What were Lewis and Clark's first names? Brody, do you think you have it now? I think I'm wrong on one of them.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Okay, Brody thinks he might be wrong. Oh, come on. Is everybody ready? No. Keith, do you have these right? I think I got one, maybe the second one. All right. What were Lewis and Clark's?
Starting point is 00:27:20 Now, before we go, do these got to be in the right order, Spencer? No, they don't have to be in the right order. Whatever order you put them in is just fine. It would be so weird if you did it the other way. We'll see. I feel like that would be like someone... Getting it wrong? No, I just...
Starting point is 00:27:38 Is everybody ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We haveester's not gonna show his whiteboard i got it wrong roman saying mary weather and john keith saying mary weather and william alissa without an answer chili saying mary weather and raymond seth saying mary weather randall saying mary weather and william brody saying Meriwether and John. The correct answers are Meriwether and William. So we had, I think, two folks.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Get that right. Randall and Keith. Meriwether means happy weather and is supposed to be given to someone with a sunny temperament. William means resolute protector and is supposed to be for someone who is a defender of the vulnerable. William is the sixth most popular boy name in America today, with Meriwether being ranked number 23,141.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I think we should bring that name back. It's a rather ironic name, given his disposition. Yeah. And his ultimate cause of death. Killed himself, but it's supposed to be for someone who has a sunny temperament. What do you got, Chester? He suffered from melancholia, as they would say.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Mary Weather Lewis and William Clark. That's right. Mary Weather Lewis and William Clark. Oh, boy. That was question seven. Question eight. The topic is conservation this colorful fish which is native to the amazon was introduced to miami waterways in 1984
Starting point is 00:29:11 this colorful fish which is native to the amazon was introduced to miami waterways in 1984 brody randall seth chester and keith all appear I think I know it I think I have this right, but I'm guessing there are probably dozens of fish that fit this description Yeah, in 1984 though? In 1984? Well, yeah. And were they specifically introduced to Miami? I can't prove it otherwise And are they colorful? A lot of qualifiers. They came from the Amazon. A lot of qualifiers. You are just completely wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:49 If you're an expert out there on the fish populations of Miami's waterways in 1984, we'd like to hear from you. If you can name two colorful fish from the Amazon. I think I actually said dozens, so there's a much higher threshold to clear what colorful fish or this colorful fish which is native to the amazon was introduced to miami waterways in 1984 is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have chester saying peacock, bass, Roman without an answer. Keith saying peacock, bass.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Alyssa saying clownfish. Chili without an answer. Seth and Randall and Brody saying peacock, bass. They got it. The correct answer is peacock, bass. Peacock bass were stocked in South Florida waterways by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, their goal was to use the peacock bass to control growing populations of exotic fish, such as tilapia and oscar. The experiment worked, and the state now manages peacock bass as a game fish.
Starting point is 00:30:59 You're allowed to keep two per day, which is three less than the limit on largemouth bass. You're saying that it worked to control non-native invasive species. They deemed it to be a successful experiment. They were very satisfied with the results and they had a 10-year study leading up to it before they came to the determination
Starting point is 00:31:18 that they should stock peacock bass. But yeah, using one exotic to control 10 other exotics. Phil, we have two questions left. Who remains in the game? Alyssa, Roman, Chili, and Chester cannot win this game of Meat Eater
Starting point is 00:31:33 Trivia, but Seth and Brody have six points, and Randall and Keith are tied up in first place with seven. Alright. Question nine. The topic is cooking.

Danielle Pruitt says her favorite tapas are Spanish turkey and date skewers, a recipe you can get on TheMeatEater.com. Question 10. We have Randall and Keith tied up in first place. And who's

Starting point is 00:33:43 of the week, then send your question to trivia at themeadeater.com. Randall is staring at the screen, waiting for the question to show up. Here it is. This bass lure with a rhyming name has a hard plastic spook style body with a rotating propeller. This is question 10. Brody knows it
Starting point is 00:34:06 He has emphatically closed his marker And thrown down his whiteboard This could tie him up with Keith and Randall If they don't get this right This bass lure With a rhyming name Has a hard plastic spook style body With a rotating propeller
Starting point is 00:34:23 Chester do you know this one again I think so okay you got the the name rhymes that you have there Brody you know this one for certain we're gonna find out okay answer he's got a smile on his face I think Brody has it Randallall and Keith. If I don't, I hope Keith does. Have not wrote anything down yet. This bass lure with a rhyming name has a hard plastic spook-style body with a rotating propeller.
Starting point is 00:34:59 You think you'd have an answer if it didn't have to rhyme? I can picture a hard plastic bait. Chester, do you think you have one of these in your tackle box without giving away too many hints? No. Okay. Not a big Montana lure. I have in the past. Oh, do you think Seth has one of these in his tackle box?
Starting point is 00:35:22 No. Okay. Might, but I don't know. I have in the past. I just can't remember his name. He doesn't know what it is. Yeah, I would say per capita, Montana has to be one of the least likely states to have one of these.
Starting point is 00:35:37 I might actually have one of these. In their tackle box. I bet you Pike would eat it, though. Oh, yeah. Keith, did you come up with an answer? I got an answer. It's wrong, but it's pretty cool. Does it rhyme?
Starting point is 00:35:46 You know, we've had questions like this in the past where I've been inspired by some of the names people came up with that we need to create some lures that have these names. So I have high expectations, Keith, for your fictional lure. Randall,
Starting point is 00:36:02 how are we doing over here? No. It's creative. Oh, I thought you were going to tell us the right answer. Oh, no, I don't know. I can't think of it. Is everybody ready? Chester says, hold on.
Starting point is 00:36:20 He's trying to think of what used to be in his tackle box. Does anyone ever write in being like, these idiots can't spell? Well, there was a lot of folks wanting me to be a hard ass about the stalagmite, stalactite question. Oh. You know, I remember that, and it wouldn't have mattered because everyone's... Everyone had the same answer. Everyone's... Oh, I spelled it wrong. Oh, wow, Seth.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Wait, did I just... Oh, yeah, I think you did. I saw that. I'm close there. Is he looking at your whiteboard? Wow. Let's go. Come on.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I think we're out of time. Go ahead and reveal your answers. I don't know if this is it, but I just thought of it. We have Chester saying Whopper Plopper. Roman, without an answer. Keith saying The Rad Shad, which I think is actually a soft plastic, maybe made by Berkeley. It's like a paddle tail. So I think The Rad Shad might exist.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Alyssa saying Chopper Bopper. Chili, without an answer. Seth saying Whopper Plopper. Randall saying Papa Choppa. Brody saying Whopper Plopper. Randall is saying papa choppa. Brody is saying whopper plopper. The correct answer is whopper plopper. Brody got it right. That means we're going
Starting point is 00:37:32 to a three-way tiebreaker with Randall and Keith. Whopper ploppers are a floating lure that creates a bubble trail when retrieved. They blew up in popularity after a 2016 Bassmaster elite series event in toledo bend when chris lane nearly won the tournament using the unique lure despite its
Starting point is 00:37:52 recent popularity the whopper popper has been around for about 100 years with the first version being a musky lure called the mud puppy we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker. If you ain't first, you're last. I think just cut it at if you ain't first, you're last, and then, like, go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Hey, Phil, f*** off, man. The tiebreaking topic is cooking. This will be a numerical question, so whoever is the closest between Keith, Randall, and Brody will be declared today's winner. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, what percentage of Americans identify as vegetarian? Decimal point. Right to a decimal point. So we have a for sure winner. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, what percentage of Americans identify as vegetarian?
Starting point is 00:38:53 Everyone should play along, though, Chili. In case someone hits it right on the nose, we're going to add an extra $100 to today's to the decimal point. What percentage of Americans identify as as vegetarian i feel like this is going to be a real tight one now phil uh before someone writes in with an ifaq about the tie breaking sound uh what movie clip is that soundbite pulled from uh i'm trying well they're they're used to well there's there's the valid ricky bobby talladega nights it used to go on longer and then steve complained about it and i put steve complaining about it into the drop very good yes what percentage of americans identify as vegetarian
Starting point is 00:39:38 as of 2023 vegetarian as an in all encompassing term. As in they said, are you a vegetarian? Are you a pescatarian? Are you an omnivore? Are you a vegan? Vegans would be separate from vegetarians? I think that would be separate in their polling. Oh, jeez, that makes it real complicated.
Starting point is 00:39:59 That's weird. You'd think they would be part of vegetarian. What percentage of Americans identify as vegetarian? Wow, and a pug grunt to cap it all off. She's impressed with this one. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying 10.4%.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Roman saying 13.4%. Alyssa saying 23.7%. Chili saying 33.6%. Seth saying 8.7%. And our three players remaining in the game. Keith saying 11.2%.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Randall saying 14.6%. Brody saying 13.9. The correct answer is 4% making Keith our winner. He was 7.2 percentage points off. 4% of Americans identify as vegetarian. That's down from 5% in 2012 and 6% in 2001. Keith, well done.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Love it. Thanks, guys. The winner of today's trivia. Now you get to make a $500 donation. Where's that $500 going to go? I hate to kind of be bland with it, but the land access initiative we do here is one of my favorite things. So I'd love to just see it go that direction. There we go.
Starting point is 00:41:23 The Meat Eater LAI. We just wrapped up our auction house of oddities. I think we were hoping to make $30,000 in that. And instead we doubled it and made $60,000. That's going to get spent pretty quickly. So Keith is starting over with another $500 going to the LAI. Well done, Keith. He played at the Meat Eater store and came in second to Steve, I believe, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:46 The first light store. The first light store. I'm sorry. Yeah. Everyone was cheering for Keith that game. It didn't happen. Brody was cheering for Keith this game. Till I got into the time.
