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 Yanni, Brody, Randall, Chester, Tressa, Garrett,
Carl Malcolm, and Doug Duren, and Doug Duren's guitar.
Doug, how we doing over here?
Just trying to get along, man.
Now, Doug sings the song that you hear at the beginning of Meat Eater Trivia, and he's
offered to play us a live rendition today.
Is that right, Doug?
That's right.
Dream come true.
We're going to let you take it away here.
It's the Meat Eater Podcast.
Talking about things you might want to hear.
It's the Meat Eater meat eater trivia show people. Talk about things you might want to hear.
Asking about hunting and fishing and conservation. And occasionally, about white-tailed deer.
Spencer Newharth, he's the host.
That buttery voice, he lays those questions down.
Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.
Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions
down.
And he likes taking those
two- and three-year-old bucks.
And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
So welcome to the podcast, friends.
There's so much to think about and talk about and learn.
Yeah, welcome to the podcast, friends.
There's so much to think about and talk about and learn.
And here's one last thing to remember. It's not ours, it's just our turn.
Hell yes, Doug.
Yeah!
Wonderful.
Thank you, Doug.
What a treat.
It's the best I could do on somebody else's guitar and then cramp quarters.
Best you could do is pretty damn good.
Oh, here, this is for you.
And he wrote that last night in his
hotel room. He's got the lyrics
here for him. He signed, Doug Duren,
5-15-24,
Bozeman, Montana.
Thank you, Doug. Beautiful.
It's all downhill from here
for me. You think so?
You've been on Meteor Trivia before,
but this is Carl Malcolm's first time.
Do you have any advice for Carl,
Doug, as a vet?
Just be yourself, Carl. Okay, be yourself.
Carl, did you bring any music
with you today? Well,
I've always got some music
with me, man, but I feel like that's a tough act to follow
right there. Yeah, no one's going to try.
Nope.
Thank you, Doug.
It was a lot of fun.
When did you decide you were going to write that little tune?
You know that before that year where we all had to stay home,
there were going to be some live shows,
and Steve had asked me to do a couple of them,
and he said, hey, and bring your guitar.
Uh-huh.
And I said, why? And he said, well, you know guitar uh-huh and i i said uh why and i said well
you know maybe you could play a couple songs before we get started and i was like oh sure
some covers he goes oh no write one like somehow i could just sit down and write a song right yeah
but uh i did and then of course we all had to stay home, so that never happened. And it ended up writing seven verses for that song.
And the second verse is actually in the original version is about him, but.
There we go.
We changed it up.
Yeah, it's the Meat Eater Podcast Blues Trivia Version.
Well done, Doug.
Now, Carl, this is your first time on trivia.
How do you feel about your chances?
Well, I'm intimidated by the room.
I know we've got
some very solid
trivia experts
in the house,
but the categories
are subject matter
near and dear to my heart,
so I figure I'll hold my own.
Okay.
That's what I'm hoping for.
Spencer, I have a little
Carl Malcolm trivia for you.
All right.
Carl was in attendance
at the Malice the Palace.
Whoa.
Really?
That's true. Where were you sitting at? I was sitting very at the Malice at the Palace. Whoa. Really? That's true.
Where were you sitting at?
I was sitting very near the tunnel.
He threw the beer.
No, I definitely did not.
I did see, I saw, so for everybody who's not familiar,
the Malice at the Palace was this brawl between the Detroit Pistons
and the Indiana Pacers.
It would have been like 2002, 2003.
2004.
So I was there in the house and I saw the fan
throw the drink that hit Ron Artest in the chest
while he was laying on the scorer's table and
the melee that ensued.
It's one of the craziest sporting event
experiences I've ever had for sure.
This is the best factoid I've learned all week.
That's great.
That was probably like a ticket stub era.
Do you have the ticket from that game?
You know, I do not.
You need to get your hands on one.
That's the first time
that has ever entered my thought.
Maybe that young lady
that you took to the game has her.
It's sad we're out of the ticket stub era.
I'd love to have all my tickets
to concerts and games
and stuff like that.
I feel that way about hunting licenses.
Although it's much easier
to go to hunt with an
app and just tag your
animal with an app.
I have a very thick folder
of 20 years of hunting licenses
and as of a couple
years ago, there's just nothing being added.
It's a bummer. Kill more trees in the world that's what I always
say now 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
because this episode is brought to you by
Heart and Soil they're matching our donation at the end of the winner's choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Heart and Soil,
they're matching our donation at the end of the game.
Thanks to Heart and Soil,
the winner will make a $1,000 conservation donation today.
And for the stat of the week this week,
we're looking at the first time that Doug was on Meat Eater Trivia.
It was our fifth ever game, which was episode 307.
Steve was our winner that day with eight points.
Doug, do you remember how well you did?
I don't think I matched the Shelby index.
Doug was the loser that day with two correct answers.
I think I checked out after like number five.
But wasn't Jim Heffelfinger there also? He was.
Jim Heffelfinger was there.
He came in second place.
He had seven correct answers.
Doug, do you think you're now better equipped
to win media trivia than you were two or three
years ago?
No, I've lost memory and stuff.
So unless you throw me a bone, which I tried to
send you a message last night, I want to tell
you about the integrity of this game.
Spencer, you know, said, well, I'm looking
forward to having you on.
So I actually sent him a question.
Not the answer, just the question.
But he's like, no, no, I've got a bone for you.
Doug's the first ever guest who tried to send me the question
that would be their bone on the podcast
that will not be in today's episode.
But you'll probably use it some other time.
Some other time, I think so.
Was it a good question, Spencer?
It was a good question.
Did you know the answer, Doug?
Doug could just ask you guys.
Doug, you could just use your question right now
if you'd like.
The movie Rancho Deluxe was filmed in this area
and was written by a famous resident of the area since the 1960s.
He's a rancher.
He's a hunter.
Jim Harrison.
Brody got it, I'm sure.
I think McGuane is probably a good bet.
He looked at me like, oh, come on, give me something harder than that.
So that was the bone that Doug wanted me to throw him.
I heard the set of that movie was crazy.
Yeah.
Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston.
There's also a scene that was recorded in downtown Bozeman back in the day when they had little fly tying shops.
And they walk in and Jeff Bridges is talking to the gal in there.
The really good trivia question is what fly were they tying that day?
All right, Brody, what fly were they tying?
I don't know.
Royal coach.
Was it in the seventies?
It was the Royal Coachman.
Oh, did you know that one, Chester?
Just a guess.
Right.
Because he walks in and says, what fly are you
tying today?
And she goes, the Royal Coachman.
And you see all these people, you know people moving it on. There's just rows
of them. It's a good fly for Hollywood.
Yeah. That was the Doug Durin
trivia portion of our show today.
Now here's our infrequently asked
questions segment. If you have a trivia
related question for our crew, send it to
trivia at themeateater.com
with the subject line IFAQ.
Chase Hayhurt says,
do games with Steve last longer than games without him
this is a question about a dozen folks have sent in it's actually a question i answered about two
years ago in a stats portion of the show i looked into it at that time i compared about 15 episodes
with steve 15 episodes without we found that episodes with steve are nine percent longer
than the episodes that don't have steve uh he injects
some extra banter and usually arguing into the show uh that makes him a little longer i've heard
from a lot of listeners that if they open up the podcast on wednesday morning and they see that
it's over like 45 minutes they know that either steve is here or when we went to overtime um so
if we get to 50 minutes then it's probably. Now here is some housekeeping to get to in a previous game of trivia.
We had a question about pod hunters and Steve was upset that he got it wrong and pivoted
to blaming dictionary.com for not providing a good definition.
I tried to counter Steve by reading a Merriam Webster dictionary definition, but accidentally
pulled the Collins dictionary definition instead.
So I just wanted to clear up those definitions today. Dictionary.com and Collins dictionary both define
pod hunter as a person who hunts for food or profit, ignoring the rules of sport. Oxford
languages defines pod hunter as a person who hunts solely to achieve a kill rather than a sport and merriam-webster defines pot hunter as one who
hunts game for food i think if steve were here now he'd agree that merriam-webster had the weakest
definition of all four of those dictionaries and he was just mad that randall got it right
and he got it wrong i was gonna mention that i was gonna mention that what did he like he didn't he
uh so the he was upset that the definition i pulled was from Collins Dictionary and dictionary.com.
And it was, you know, what's the nine letter word for a person who hunts for food or profit.
He just didn't answer that.
That's right.
He didn't, he didn't get it right.
Randall did.
Yes.
And he won that day.
Yes.
Thank you.
Context really helps round it out.
Thank you, Spencer.
Now, the Shelby Index for today's round
is a four and a half,
so our winner should get nine 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 to everything. How's that? You stand to win everything.
Game on, suckers!
Question one, the topic is nature.
This will be multiple choice, and this first great question is via Tiffany Seip. Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont have banned these in an effort to preserve
their state's natural beauty. Is it billboards, cell towers, skyscrapers, or wind farms?
Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont have banned these in an effort to preserve their state's natural beauty.
Your four choices.
Billboards, cell towers, skyscrapers, wind farms.
This is question one.
This will be your only multiple choice question in the game.
Billboards, cell towers, skyscrapers, or wind forms.
And the four states are Alaska, Hawaii, Maine,
and Vermont. Does anybody know this?
No, everybody is
taking a guess, it appears.
Yanni,
is anything coming to mind?
I feel like you've been to most of these states, right?
Actually, I've only been to one of those states.
Oh, all right.
He doesn't know it.
Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont have banned these
in an effort to preserve their state's natural beauty billboards,
cell towers, skyscrapers, or wind farms? Yanni, you're the only
one who doesn't have an answer right now.
I got two right now.
By the way, there's no way
for you to hold that whiteboard without
somebody seeing it.
You mean you're cheating?
Adam didn't say that.
He hasn't changed his answer yet.
Who can see it except me?
Well, when you turn to Yannis and you're holding your whiteboard up like a billboard.
I can see Garrett's billboard right now.
Is everybody ready?
Hold on.
Okay.
Brody has nailed it down to two.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe if he hollers.
He did it.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying billboards
Carl saying skyscrapers
Tressa skyscrapers
Randall billboards
Garrett skyscrapers
Brody billboards
Yanni billboards
Bubbly Doug billboards
The correct answer
Is billboards
Most of you got that right.
Those are the only four states in America to ban billboards, with Hawaii being the first in 1927 and Maine being the most recent in 1977.
When the Maine governor signed that bill, over 8,000 highway billboards were ordered to be removed. Even the state's president of the Chamber of Commerce was in favor of the ban,
saying that billboard law improved Maine's quality of life.
Only four states to eliminate billboards.
You know, not to pull Steve here, but just being in Hawaii,
I'd like to know the definition of a billboard.
What size sign are we talking about?
Because it's pretty big signs along the road.
And in some
states now or some businesses in those states uh will just put their billboard on wheels so then
it's like they're not technically breaking the rule right if it's on the side of like a u-haul
something like that but maine i think maine had very specific definitions can't be with so many
feet of a road uh can't be of a certain size um You know, folks will bend the rules. Question two.
The topic is hunting.
This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jeff Sessions
for sending this great question.
Jeff is going to get a board game
signed by the crew.
The Jeff Sessions?
Who's Jeff Sessions?
If you want a chance to win
our listener question of the week,
then send your question to
trivia at themeateater.com.
The topic is hunting the five subspecies of this game animal are american
oregon mexican peninsular and sonoran
this is question two the topic is hunting the five subspecies of this game animal are American, Oregon, Mexican, Peninsular, and Sonoran.
Our players appear to be stumped.
No one has come up with an answer quite yet.
This is according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The five subspecies, American, Oregon, Mexican, Peninsular, and Sonoran.
Are all of the subspecies a sustainable,
huntable population?
Not going to tell you anymore.
American, Oregon, Mexican, Peninsular, and Sonoran.
Brody begrudgingly came up with an answer.
Brody, do you like your answer or not?
Maybe, he says.
Chester, you have an answer?
How do you feel about your answer?
Same as Brody, just kind of.
Maybe.
This is question two.
Well, there goes my confidence.
Bubbly Doug, you got the first one right, though, so he's
one for one. Yeah, I'm halfway to my
previous total. Doug even
wrote down the Shelby Index in the corner of his
whiteboard.
Gotta have goals, man.
The five subspecies of
this game animal are American,
Oregon, Mexican,
Peninsular, and
Sonoran.
What do you got, Randall?
Any additional hints you can offer?
I'm not giving you any hints.
Brutal.
No.
Again, this was from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Complete stab in the dark.
I wish sometimes you could just not answer to not shed light on how stupid you are.
I don't know where Peninsular is.
You could just not answer, Garrett.
That's fine.
I didn't say I was talking about me.
Oh, yeah.
That was for Brody's sake.
I see what he's writing.
American, Oregon, Mexican, Peninsular, and Sonoran.
Carl, how do you feel about your answer?
Very weak.
Okay.
Is everybody ready?
No.
No.
How much time do I have?
I'm just hoping somebody has the same answer I do,
so I don't feel really stupid when I turn it over.
Okay, there you go.
Yanni Brody, you boys are running out of time.
I think we're just waiting on you
keep waiting
Yanni also declared he has a hard out
in about 30 minutes
so Yanni I will remind you of that
as you sit there with a blank whiteboard
oh gosh
five subspecies
Brody did you change your answer
are you sticking with what you had
okay he changed his answer.
I know that's not right.
Yanni?
It's a hard out.
You got kids to pick up from volleyball?
That's right.
Okay.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying blacktail.
Carl saying rail.
Tressa saying deer.
Randall saying desert bighorn. I like that answer. Garrett. Saying rail. Tressa. Saying deer. Randall.
Saying desert bighorn.
Randall, I like that answer.
Garrett.
Saying mountain lion.
Brody.
Saying desert bighorn.
Yanni.
Says iguana.
Bubbly Doug.
Says raccoon.
Nobody got it.
The correct answer is pronghorn antelope.
Although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says there are five subspecies of antelope although the u.s fish and wildlife service says there are five subspecies of antelope
other agencies say that if you go by genetic testing then there are just three the peninsular
and sonoran pronghorn are on the endangered species list it's estimated that there are about
150 peninsular pronghorn and 400 sonoran pronghorn left in the wild.
That's a tough question.
Does that ring a bell now that you've heard it?
No.
I think if it had been
sonoran and insular.
I think we might have had
a little snippet about it
in the meat eater's guide
to hunting, butchering,
and cooking while game
volume one.
Question three.
The topic is cooking.
A long time ago.
The Food Network describes this as, quote,
a traditional Korean dish made with salted and fermented vegetables.
This is question three.
After question two, there are no perfect games remaining.
The topic is cooking.
The Food Network describes this as a traditional Korean dish made with salted and fermented vegetables.
Brody, Carl, Randall appear to be confident.
Randall, you got this one right.
I feel pretty confident.
Carl, you got this one right.
I am feeling pretty confident.
I feel better than I did one question ago.
We may have went from a 0% to a 100% here.
Garrett says
no. Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and
reveal your answers. We have
Chester saying miso.
Carl says kimchi.
Tressa and Randall and
Garrett and Brody and
Yanni and Bubbly Doug say kimchi.
They got it. The correct answer is kimchi.
Kimchi flavor is described as sour, sweet, and spicy, which it accomplishes through ingredients
such as Napa cabbage, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and chili flakes. According to Anna Borgman's
meat eater article called Gut Microbes 101, eating kimchi is a delicious way to introduce
natural microbes to your body question four the topic is fishing this brand which is known for
its legend and mojo fishing rods is named after a river on the minnesotaWisconsin border. Look it, Chester, go.
Thank you.
Whoop Brody on that one.
The topic is fishing.
This brand, which is known for its legend and mojo fishing rods,
is named after a river on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
Okay.
Brody is very confident. No.
We have a few players in the room here from Wisconsin.
Doug, Carl, Chester.
They look like they know it.
I'm hoping that wasn't my bone.
Yeah, you're not confident, Doug?
I feel pretty good about it.
Okay.
This brand, which is known for its legend and mojo fishing rods,
is named after a river on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
If I'm right, this is a really weird name for a river.
Okay.
Oh, I can't wait to see that.
Did you go with Musk Oxide?
No.
No.
Randall, do you have this one right?
I believe so.
Okay, is everybody ready?
I was trying to think of all the rod company names that would be a funny river.
I'm curious to see what Garrett has if I came up with that one.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester and Carl saying St. Croix.
Tressa saying Red, which is the opposite border on Minnesota.
That's the Minnesota-North Dakota border.
Randall says St. Croix. Garrett says the Ug border on Minnesota. That's the Minnesota-North Dakota border. Randall says St. Croix.
Garrett says the Ugly Stick River.
Brody and Yanni and Bubbly Doug say St. Croix.
I was going to go with Lama Glass.
Actually, the first one that came to my mind was Ugly Stick.
The correct answer is St. Croix.
Most of you got that right.
St. Croix was founded in 1948 by Bob and Bill Johnson.
They broke onto the scene by creating the first multi-section bamboo fishing rod on the market.
The river that the company is named after starts just south of Lake Superior,
then follows the Minnesota-Wisconsin border for 125 miles before draining into the Mississippi.
Our Wisconsin folks in the room, what familiarity do you have with the St. Croix River? You ever
go fish there? You ever do anything around the St. Croix? I bought a fishing rod from that
company. Okay, that helps. Carl, Chester, anything with the St. Croix? Not a whole lot. I just know
that there's some great fishing out there. You just know it exists? Never have I fished it, but I bought a rod of theirs that I like so much
that I then bought two more, so I have three identical setups
that are just the bomb.
You're a good Wisconsin angler for supporting that Wisconsin brand.
Here's question five. The topic is wildlife.
This next great question is via Sam Wyrick.
This is an audio question.
Phil is going to play you 30 seconds of an animal
vocalization. You need to identify what animal is making that sound. And here is your clue.
This is the second most popular state bird representing Kansas, Wyoming, and more. Play
the clip, Phil. Chester needs to put some headphones on. If you want to.
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Okay, here we go. Again, that's the second most popular state bird representing Kansas, Wyoming, and more.
And more.
Chester knew that one right away.
He just needed to hear those first few notes.
He has a sick look on his face.
Yeah.
A deer in the headlights.
Okay, Brody, you know this one?
I'm not.
I think I do.
But I did hear a magpie way in the back of that one.
Well, again, I told you that you're naming the second most popular state bird.
So if you think that's a magpie, then I encourage you to write it.
Second most popular state bird representing Kansas, Wyoming, and more.
Is everybody ready?
Quick answers.
Doug Duren, how well do you know your birds?
You know, I have that app, ruin app on my phone,
and I've been just digging it during turkey season.
Yeah.
And I'm sure I know what that one is,
but then there was some stuff that threw me at the end.
Oh.
Because it's a fairly common bird.
Okay.
Ecologist Carl, do you know this one?
I am middling on my response.
Okay.
Oh, Chester is going through.
We have some bird-themed coasters on the table here.
I don't know if he got to what might help him out or not.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying Meadowlark.
Carl saying Meadowlark.
Tressa and Randall and Garrett and Brody saying Meadowlark. Y saying Meadowlark. Tressa and Randall and Garrett and Brody
saying Meadowlark. Yanni says
Redwing Blackbird.
Bubbly Doug says Redwing Blackbird.
And he crossed out Meadowlark.
The correct answer is what
Doug crossed out, the Western
Meadowlark. Everybody but
Yanni and Doug got that one
right. I'm never looking at Yanni's board
again.
You boys thought that might be the second most popular state bird.
I wonder if there's any state bird,
or if there's any state that has the black bird as their state bird.
The red-winged black bird.
The red-winged black bird.
Western meadowlarks are the state bird of Kansas, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming.
According to the Cornell Lab, they have a complex two-phrase primary song
that begins with one to six pure whistles and descends to a series of one to five gurgling
warbles.
Metal Arcs develop a repertoire of about a dozen songs that range from courtship songs
to intruder songs.
Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.
What do you got, Chester?
Oh, I was just going to say the cool thing about metal arcs is
I don't know if there's any other birds like this,
but you'll be driving down the interstate.
Like I-90 going 80 miles an hour, and it cuts through.
Like you can hear them.
I don't know what it is about there,
but it pierces right through the seals of your doors.
The Western metal lark.
Phil, give us a scoreboard update after
halfway through, after we're halfway through
a game of trivia.
You doing all right, Doug?
I'm just, you know, what is it you say when
you were a kid?
Cheaters proof.
That's what I get for cheating.
If I was sitting next to Brody, I'd have been better off.
Tressa and Garrett have two points apiece.
Carl, Giannis, Doug, and Chester all have three and tied up in first place are Brody Henderson and Randall Williams with four points.
Everybody's really excited about it.
Anybody's game hey folks exciting news for those who live
or hunt in Canada and boy my
goodness do we hear

Question six.
The topic is woodsmanship.
This next great question is via Andy Del Forge.
Merriam Webster defines this seven letter word as, quote, the carrying of boats or goods overland from one body of water to another.
How does Collins Dictionary define it?
I would bet pretty similar.
Merriam-Webster defines this seven-letter word as the carrying of boats or goods overland from one body of water to another.
Don't know a lot of seven-letter words.
Okay.
Do the little hangman sketch and see if you can come up with your seven letters or not
chester can you uh adjust your mic thing on the bottom oh there we go fixed it so
is that the bone
just waiting uh well the the bone was the question about the river on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
Oh, for goodness sake.
It's only like 100 miles from your farm, Doug, right?
That's right in your wheelhouse, I'd say.
I feel like this is some boneage as well.
Okay.
Seven-
He would be going off on you.
Seven-letter word.
The carrying of boats or goods overland from one body of water to another
is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have chester and carl saying portage
tressa says travels the rest of the room says portage and they got it the correct answer is
portage doug why would that be your bone am i I, am I missing some inside? Portage, Wisconsin is 30 miles from me.
Oh.
And it's a very, very famous area because it
was where they forged canoes from the Fox River
to the Wisconsin River, therefore connecting
the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.
Okay.
Well, then we threw two bones your way this,
this round, Doug.
Oh, we just did a podcast with, uh.
Well, that's the other part of it.
Yeah.
Peter Stark, yeah. Yeah. Peter Stark.
Yeah. He was talking about that.
He's going to try to take it on this summer.
And I was, during that podcast was going, well, you know, there's a canal.
And then he gets to the, I'm talking to the podcast, right?
And he says, well, you know, there's a canal.
So whether or not he'll, yeah, I drive, drive through there fairly often.
Portage was borrowed from French in the 15th century
when it simply meant carrying or transporting.
The definition of moving boats over dry land was born in 1698
and was first used to describe the canoeing obstacle that is Niagara Falls.
Question seven.
The topic is fishing.
The George Perry world record largemouth bass was caught on Montgomery Lake in this state.
You guys and your fishing questions all the time.
This is question seven.
The George Perry World Record largemouth bass was caught on Montgomery Lake in this state.
Brody and Randall appear to know it.
Carl, you know this one as well.
Maybe, he says.
Doug, do you know this one?
No, and I don't want to say why I came up with the answer
because it would be a hint.
Are there any largemouth bass on the Durin farm?
As a matter of fact, there are.
Really?
Okay.
We got a little farm pond that's got bass, bluegills, and crappies in it, and they are
spawning like crazy right now.
Did you put them all in there?
Have they been in there for your whole life?
Yeah.
I'm not sure how they got in there.
Okay. No clue. They just show sure how they got in there. Okay.
No clue.
They parachuted in apparently.
Ducks move around fish a lot.
Okay.
The George Perry world record largemouth bass
was caught on Montgomery Lake in this state.
Is everybody ready?
Who's not ready?
Mr. Fisherman Chester
Floyd says he's not quite
ready yet. Chester has a
gig tomorrow night. He's playing some music.
Chester, are you playing
all originals or all covers or a
mix? Playing
about seven originals.
My buddy's playing about seven originals okay my buddy's playing about four three originals and then the
rest are covers what are give me some examples of the covers you're playing the covers um a trampled
by turtle song uh ain't no use in trying we're playing a couple of jim croce songs like Walking Back to Georgia and what else?
A camp song called Bye and Bye.
A couple of cowboy tunes.
You should play a Trampled by Turtles cover when you open for Trampled by Turtles.
I did.
You did?
What'd you play?
Ain't No Use in Trying.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
The band members after that were like, we were like listening and then we were like,
that song sounds familiar.
That's a ballsy move, dude.
I would think that's a big faux pas.
Well, no, I asked beforehand, Dave.
You should play a Tom Petty cover of Wildflowers, which is also a Trampled by Turtles cover.
So you can do it.
It's like a triple cover at that point
that you're doing.
I'm doing one more show that
people will still be able to show up for June 1st
out at Bridger Brewing. It's a brew fest,
so come on out for that one.
Is everybody ready? We're looking
for what state Montgomery Lake
is where the world record largemouth came
from. Go ahead and
reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying Florida.
Carl says Texas.
Tressa, Minnesota.
Randall saying GA.
Garrett says Minnesota.
Brody says Georgia.
He crossed out Alabama.
Yanni says Alabama.
Bubbly Doug says Alabama.
We have a correct answer in the room.
Can you come up with that yourself, Doug?
It's Georgia. Brody, and Randall
Got that one right
I was afraid you weren't gonna
The way you read my board, I was afraid we weren't taking
Maybe I'll sing like Catching Bass in Georgia
Rather walking back to Georgia
He very skeptically said G-A
The G was a little funny looking
So I was caught off guard by a second
When I looked at your board
I thought it was a perfectly natural G.
The George Perry Bass was caught in 1932 and
weighed 22 pounds, four ounces.
Perry was 20 years old at the time using the
one lure he owned, which was a Creek Chub
Fantail Shiner.
He had the bass weighed at the post office,
then fed the fish to his family for the next
three days.
Perry's record still stands, but was tied by a Japanese angler in 2009.
Question eight.
The topic is cooking.
Divide these parts of a turkey into white meat and dark meat, according to Cook's Illustrated.
Leg, breast, wing, thigh.
You need to divide
those four parts of a turkey
into white meat and
dark meat.
Leg, breast,
wing, thigh.
Is your marker
struggling over there, Brody?
I'm just being emphatic you need to divide these into white meat and dark meat and this is according to
cook's illustrated leg breast wing thigh carl very quick to answer carl you got this one right
if it's not right i would take issue with okay. There we go. I'd like you to direct your anger at them.
Not me.
Doug, you had some feedback?
I was just going to say, for all the
complaining I've heard about the whiteboards,
the pens work great, the eraser works great,
and the whiteboard is great.
Well, these are whiteboards 2.0.
We're at the beginning of their lifespan,
probably in a year or so.
We will auction these things off once folks have
heartily complained about them.
Leg, breast, wing, thigh.
I feel like this is like a trick question. I do too.
Okay. Is everybody
ready? Nope.
I don't think it's as easy as you think
it is. There ain't no tricks on a turkey.
Nope.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying white meat is breast.
Dark meat is leg,
wing,
thigh.
Carl says white is breast and wing.
Dark is thigh and leg.
Tressa with the same answer.
Randall says white is breast and thigh.
Dark is leg and wing.
Garrett says dark is leg, wing, thigh.
White is breast.
Brody says white meat is wing and breast.
Dark meat is leg and thigh.
Yanni with the same answer.
Bubbly Dog saying the wing,
thigh and leg are dark meat and the breast is white meat.
The correct answer is leg and thigh are dark meat and breast and wing are
white meat.
We had a few of you get that one right.
What I think Randall and Brody, is that it?
No, I didn't.
I changed it from that.
Giannis got it.
I got it.
Gianni, Brody, Tressa, Carl.
Okay.
I'm really disappointed with myself.
Leg and thigh are dark.
Breast and wing are white.
Similar to chickens, turkeys spend far more time on the ground than in the air.
Because of this, their legs and thighs have more myoglobin,
which is a red protein that helps
supply oxygen to the muscles.
And since turkey breasts and wings
are lesser used muscles,
they have less myoglobin.
So legs and thighs are dark meat
and breasts and wings are white meat.
That is bullshit,
because when you get an all dark meat
eight-piece meal at Rosar's,
they include wings.
Phil, we have
two questions left. Yeah, I agree.
Who remains in the game?
And I do it often. It was according to
Cooks Illustrated, not Rosar's.
And I, you know, Cooks Illustrated
was who I signed this to, but almost everybody
on the internet agrees that is how you categorize
the wing, breast,
leg, thigh.
I can't believe
that I did that.
Tressa, Garrett, Chester,
and yes, Bubbly Doug
are no longer in the running
for the win.
But Carl and Giannis
have five points apiece.
Randall with that slip-up
has six,
and in first place
is Brody with seven.
Question nine.
The topic is conservation.
Part of this 1990 Kevin Costner Oscar-winning film was shot in Badlands National Park.
Brody and Randall appear to be confident.
Brody feels like this one's too easy. Part of this 1990 Kevin Costner
Oscar winning film was
shot in Badlands National
Park.
I cannot believe I can't think of it.
Let us know when we can start making jokes.
Yeah.
I don't
know what jokes you want to make.
All kinds of jokes. Doug has a blank
board, so I feel like you're.
I didn't know that the postman won an Oscar.
And it was shot in the Badlands National Park.
I don't know.
You can make your, your, whatever jokes you're
going to help out Doug and Tress.
They had to build a big ass set to film Water
World.
Part of this 1990 Kevin Costner Oscar winning film was shot in Badlands National Park.
If you build it, they will come.
Yeah.
You know, he's putting out two like Western epics this year.
Ambitious.
Oh, I did not know that.
Tell me more, Phil.
It's called Horizons, I think.
Horizons part
one and two and they're both going to be like two and a half plus hours long and i love it i think
that's just the start of it phil i think he's yeah he wants to yeah the subtitle i think is
squeezing every last drop of that yellowstone money out of the popular imagination
doug are you ready i'm ready. I think he's made.
I like Kevin Costner.
He's just done some things recently that make me question his judgment.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Chester saying dances with wolves.
Carl says dances with wolves.
Tressa without an answer.
Randall and Garrett and Brody says dances with wolves.
Bubbly Dog says Tatanka, term in the movie.
I'm going to ask for like a half a point on that one.
Special dispensation for Doug here.
The correct answer is Dances with Wolves.
Dances with Wolves is about a Civil War lieutenant
who gets assigned to the Army's most distant outpost on the Western
frontier.
Nearly the entire movie was filmed on ranches in South Dakota and Wyoming, with some scenes
shot in Badlands National Park and the Black Hills National Forest.
It is one of just four Westerns to win the Oscar for Best Picture, joined by movies such
as Unforgiven and No Country for Old Men.
That was question nine.
Here we will review the previous nine answers for our listeners at home.
Answer one was billboards.
Two, pronghorn.
Three, kimchi.
Four, St. Croix.
Five, western meadowlark.
Six, portage.
Seven, Georgia.
Eight, legs and thighs are dark meat.
Breasts and wings are white meat.
And number nine, dances with wolves.
Phil, has anything changed on the scoreboard going into the final question?
Nope, Brody has eight, Randall has seven.
Here's question 10.
The topic is hunting.
This real estate company for deer hunters was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Pike County, Illinois.
Brody, do you know this one?
I'm going to have to think about it.
Okay.
Randall, do you know this one?
No.
This is the final question unless we go to overtime.
The topic is hunting. This real estate company for deer hunters was founded in 2007
and is headquartered in Pike County, Illinois.
Yanni, you got this one?
Yes.
Garrett, do you have this one?
I'm on the fence.
I feel like it's possible.
Doug, you live in deer hunting Mecca.
Do you know what the real estate company for deer hunters is that's headquartered in Pike County, Illinois?
I get so many mailings from different realtors who are pitching, we can sell your land.
Oh, what do you do with those?
Pitch them.
And I ask them, I send them a message and ask them to remove me from their list.
You do?
Okay.
This is the final question.
Brody, do you have this one right?
I can't tell if my answer is a real answer that I've heard of or that I'm scraping from the back of my brain or if I'm just making this up.
You could start this deer hunting real estate company if not.
Garrett, what do you think of brody's answer
do you know what he has yeah i think his answer is better than mine okay is everybody ready i'm
pretty sure there's an office here in bozeman go ahead and reveal your answers we have chester
saying whitetail properties carl says whitetail properties tressa says remax randall says trophy
properties garrett says whitetail properties brody Trophy Properties. Garrett says Whitetail Properties.
Brody, what's your answer, Brody?
Says Trophy Properties.
Yanni says Whitetail Properties.
Bubbly Doug says Whitetail Properties.
The correct answer is Whitetail Properties.
Brody got it wrong, but he's still our winner with, what, eight correct answers?
Yep.
Well done, Brody and Yanni.
You're right.
I think they had an office over in the cannery near our old office.
I didn't actually see them around, but I saw they had their one Whitetail Shed Antler logo, which is Whitetail Properties.
Whitetail Properties has sold over 1.6 million acres of land in 41 different States right now on their website.
The most expensive property is a 13,000 acre elk hunting ranch in Western New
Mexico.
That's listed for $31 million.
And their cheapest property is a five acre parcel of timber in Southern
Mississippi.
That's listed for $12,000.
Oh,
damn.
$12,000. You can damn. $12,000.
You can have your five acres of timber in Southern Mississippi.
Brody, as our winner, you get to choose where the $1,000 donation from Meat Eater and Heart
and Soil goes.
Brody, what's it going to be?
We just did a podcast about Aldo Leopold, so Aldo Leopold Foundation.
Nice.
Doug Duren, how does that make you feel?
I approve of that.
Thank you very much on behalf of all the folks
at the Aldo Leopold Foundation.
Well done.
It's kind of like you won then, Doug, right?
Well, I think I had five right, didn't I, Phil?
We got to hear Doug's live rendition of the
theme song.
So, I think we all won today.
Conservation won.
There you go.
We all won.
Brody won.
Doug won.
Doug, what do they got going on at the Elder Leopold Foundation?
Well, you can go there and tour the shack, learn about Leopold.
There are various programs going on at all times.
But one of the coolest things there is to go in the fall when the Sand Hill cranes are moving through.
You have to make an appointment or sign up
but it's an incredible thing to uh listen to like stan temple talk about the cranes world
renowned ornithologist um and then he'll go he'll look at his watch and go it's time to go because
the cranes will be there soon and you walk down and they have these blinds made and you sit there and you watch 10,000
cranes fly all, all fly in, in a manner of
minutes.
A thousand dollars from meat eater and heart
and soil going their way.
