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, Corey, Garrett, McKenzie, Chili, and Anthony Finissi. Anthony, this is your first time on Trivia. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Thanks, Spencer. Yeah, long time listener, first time caller. I do corporate finance and analytics and financial planning for MeatEater. And now you're a trivia player. Correct. You're going to kill a couple antelope this year. Correct. How do you think you'll do at MeatEater Trivia, though? We were discussing before the recording started.
Starting point is 00:01:45 The over-under right now is 2.5. I just checked Vegas before we walked in, so things don't look good. You also said you could throw a 9. Could have a 9. Okay. Could be a goose egg, could be a 9. That's a big swing in optimism versus pessimism. A 2 to a 9.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Correct. A lot of volatility out of me. We'll see how you do, Anthony. 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 Eaters will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Heart & Soil,
Starting point is 00:02:24 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 updating our total wins tracker. Brody is the winningest player in meat eater trivia history with 33 wins that's followed by steve with 22 randall who just passed up yanni randall has 16 yanni has 14 cal with six and clay with four all other combined players in mediator trivia have 25 victories which is eight less than brody has on his own. How many have we played? It seemed like there'd be way more. 120, I believe. So you've won a third of
Starting point is 00:03:10 every Meadeater trivia game ever. It's not enough, he says, either. He wants more. But what if you, like, I don't know what it's called in math, but you had to, like, prorate it or something, because Randall's played quite a few winning percentage. I still think Brody is the highest.'ve done we've updated the stand before but uh randall
Starting point is 00:03:30 we should check that after my heater from last month yeah i think you've won four in like the last six or seven yanni had a hot hand too there for a little bit now here's our infrequently asked question segment if you have a trivia relatedrelated question for our crew, send it to trivia at themeateater.com with the subject line, IFAQ. Kimberly Wixom says, I loved last year's episode that included the wives. When are you bringing
Starting point is 00:03:56 that back? Good news, Kimberly, next week, the next episode you hear will be the wives and girlfriends episode. Before Spencer even started, I was going to say it's actually not infrequently asked questions. It's the way Spencer can seed an idea that he wants
Starting point is 00:04:12 to talk about and he wants to promote. You've given up the whole charade now. We've already talked about this before, so I'm going to laugh about it every time Spencer does it. It's funny. I promise you,berly wixom wrote in with this question yeah but it's not infrequent sir you know what it's probably not
Starting point is 00:04:30 infrequent it's not frequent enough one of the most requests that we get is to bring back spencer you were saying wives and girlfriends that we're bringing back next week that's right next week that's right my wife shelby will be in the host seat uh a lot of the players in the room today their wives or girlfriends or in some cases fiances will be playing the host seat. A lot of the players in the room today, their wives or girlfriends or, in some cases, fiances will be playing as well. Has there been any talk at home? Yanni, Brody, Randall, Corey, among your wives, girlfriends? I had to remind mine that she needs to show up.
Starting point is 00:05:00 So she hasn't been studying. Yeah, same over here. Okay. Phil's wife was the winner last year. My wife was mad that you didn't ask any fishing questions last time. You know what? I pride myself on having good diversity of questions. It's like, yeah, nobody will notice if I don't have a fishing question in this batch,
Starting point is 00:05:18 and Brody's wife noticed. Now, is Shelby writing the questions? She will not write the questions. I'll write them, but she'll be in the host. Are you going to chaperone? Chaperone? No, I won't even be in the questions? She will not write the questions. I'll write them, but she'll be in the host. Are you going to chaperone? No, I won't even be in the room. Really? Phil is going
Starting point is 00:05:32 to be the only regular in here. He's going to have a lot of responsibility over there for that episode. Phil, I don't know if your mic is on. I'm not getting anything. You know what? I'm recording it, so it will be recorded, but now you can hear me. Oh, that's much better. Sorry about that, guys. That's comforting. Shelby asked me last
Starting point is 00:05:48 night who I think will win in the group. I said I think it will be Randall's wife, Sydney. Now you've seen Sydney play trivia. She's a strong competitor. Has Sydney, has she brought it up at all? Has she acknowledged that next week this episode is happening, or is it like
Starting point is 00:06:03 way back in line? She asked me a few days ago if it was still happening okay and i said without a doubt okay i'm looking forward to it are you going to prepare her somehow no i don't think there'll be much preparation i think that sounds like a um not argument but it just didn't seem healthy okay i i'm i'm just letting things unfold. It's just going to be an organic competition. Yeah. In the name of equality, I feel that next time, maybe we should invite, say, Mackenzie's husband.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Sure. Or, you know, some of the other ladies' husbands, boyfriends. Last time we did this, we had Corinne's boyfriend here. Oh. This time we're excluding all the men, though. It's just going to be the wives, fiancés, and girlfriends. That's coming to you next week, the wives, fiancés, and girlfriends episode of Meat Eater Trivia. Now, for the housekeeping portion, I want to tell you about our other most requested episode of trivia,
Starting point is 00:07:02 which is a kid's version. In case you haven't heard, we now have a kid's podcast that you can find on the MeatEater podcast feed. We have five total episodes, and by the time you hear this episode of trivia, two of them will already be out. Each episode includes three segments where Steve tells a story about why it is the way it is,
Starting point is 00:07:19 then Katie guides you through animal vocalizations with Guess That Critter, then I host a round of kid's trivia as the only other game show where conservation always wins. So if you have outdoor kids, then these episodes are for you. Or even if you don't have outdoor kids, then these shows might be right up your alley. I've already got a lot of feedback from adults who say they prefer the kids version of trivia because it's finally a version where they can dominate. So check out the Meat Eater Kids in the Meat Eater Podcast feed.
Starting point is 00:07:50 New episodes drop on Fridays. We had Chili's hand go up over here. Yeah, I was just waiting for my invite for the kids trivia. Patiently waiting. We'll put you in the studio sometime. We won't even acknowledge it though, Chili. Get those kids up.
Starting point is 00:08:05 You might have to shave. Now, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that?
Starting point is 00:08:26 You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these states does not have the great continental divide pass through it? Is it Colorado, Texas, Alaska, or Montana? Corey, writing down his answer before I even finished with the choices, which of these states does not have the great continental divide pass through it? Colorado, Texas, Alaska, Montana. I feel like this is a trick question.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Maybe it is, Mackenzie. It was that quick for me to look at your board. I know. That was the goal. Corey, you have an outdoor kid at home. Has Marshall listened to the kids' episode of Me, Deidre yet? He hasn't yet. I'm like halfway through it.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Oh, so you're listening without him. I am. And I did dominate in trivia. Okay. Yeah. Good. At home. But no, I'm excited to share it with him. Yanni, your two girls, have they checked out Meat Eater kids yet? No. You're just gonna bank up those five episodes and then drop them on some
Starting point is 00:09:43 road trip coming up, right? That's a good idea. Okay. Which of these states does not have the Great Continental Divide passed through it? Colorado, Texas, Alaska, Montana. Squiggly line. Is everybody ready? The winningest player in meat-eater trivia history.
Starting point is 00:10:04 The last one to come up with an answer over here. Oh, and the second winningest player, third winningest player in Meat Eater trivia history. The last one to come up with an answer over here. Oh, and the second winningest player, third winningest player, Randall, is changing an answer. Oh, man. I don't know. You're really thinking about it, huh, Brody? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying Texas. Garrett, Alaska. Anthony, Alaska. Randall, Alaska.
Starting point is 00:10:26 McKenzie, Alaska. Brody, Texas. Giannis, Texas. Chili, Texas. The correct answer is Texas. About half of you got that one right. The Great Continental Divide passes through Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. It's an imaginary line which separates watersheds that drain into the
Starting point is 00:10:53 Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, or Arctic Ocean. Issa Lake in Yellowstone National Park straddles the line and is one of the only natural lakes in the world that drains into two different oceans. Question two. The topic is conservation. That's cool. This conservation group made a significant logo change in 2021 that now features an animal's head and footprint. This is question two. The topic is conservation.
Starting point is 00:11:24 This conservation group made a significant logo change in 2021. This is question two. The topic is conservation. This conservation group made a significant logo change in 2021 that now features an animal's head and footprint. Issa Lake is where it is strongly rumored that Forrest Fenn's treasure was hidden. So it's right next to a road. In Yellowstone, if you're passing through, you'll miss it if you blink. It's a very small lake, but it drains into the Pacific and the Atlantic.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Question about this last question. Is the acronym acceptable for an answer? Does it need to be written down? Sure. If this has an acronym, you could write down the acronym for this conservation group that made a significant logo change in 2021 that now features an animal's head and footprint.
Starting point is 00:12:14 That's kind of giving a hint, Yanni. Yeah. Is there a key name of a conservation group that doesn't have an acronym? Audubon Society. Hmm. Hmm. Good job, Corey.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Cereal. Yeah, probably. PETA. No, PETA. PETA is an acronym. I can't spoke too soon. Is PETA a conservation group? I don't even know if we consider it that. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:41 No, I think they'd be anti-conservation. Yeah. Anti-wild animals. Randall, are you ready? I am. Mackenzie, are you ready? I... Making a last-second change,
Starting point is 00:12:52 this conservation group made a significant logo change in 2021 that now features an animal's head and footprint. Phil, if it's not too late, I had slacked you a photo of this to look at on the next one. It's prepped, Spencer. Good job, Phil. Mackenzie, are we ready? Yeah, I wasn't changing my answer. I was just writing it all the way out. I didn't want to.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying BHA. Garrett saying NDA. Anthony saying backcountry hunters and anglers. Randall, NWTF, McKenzie, Mule Deer Foundation. Brody, National Wildlife Federation. Giannis, NWTF, Chile, BHA. We have a correct answer in the room. It's the National Wild Turkey Federation. I think we had Yanni and Randall.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Get that one right. NWTF has changed their logo five times in the last four decades. The most recent rebrand included a new design for their turkey call magazine and a new tagline, which is, quote, healthy habitats, healthy harvest. NWTF said they hoped the fresh look would help them attract a younger audience. Phil is now going to show you the old logo and the new logo right next to each other. Oh, yeah. Boy, that's sneaky.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I just received the 300th issue of the National All-Turkey Federation's magazine. Good on you, Yanni. Member of the NWTF that changed their logo in 2021. A lot of blowback from members when that happened. A lot of snowflakes on Facebook who were getting all worked up when they made that logo change.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Question three, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Travis Radke. Caldwell makes this product with a rhyming name, which securely holds your gun while reducing felt recoil by 95%. Good question. Dang, Brody. Great question.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yanni and Corey like that question. It's no coincidence that they seem to know the answer. Caldwell makes this product with a rhyming name, which securely holds your gun while reducing felt recoil by 95%. This long-range shooter over there is having trouble. I think I got one here, guys.
Starting point is 00:15:15 You got one? I think I got one right. Garrett has spent more range time in the last week than probably the rest of us combined in the last five years. Do you have it right, Garrett? Yeah, but if you saw... Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:27 All right. He's leaking confidence. No, I have it right. He has it right. Caldwell makes this product with a rhyming name which securely holds your gun while reducing felt recoil by 95%. Chili, come on down there.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Do we sell this on the meat eater store? That would be a hint. Not going to help you there, McKenzie. Because then I really should know. Maybe. And honestly, I don't know the answer. I don't think we do. Then I've got no shot.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Okay. Has a rhyming name. It reduces your gun's recoil by 95%. I've never been a big fan. I feel like it's kind of a staple. I think I've used one my whole life. Really? Is everybody ready?
Starting point is 00:16:14 It's just like you don't see it. Talk about it after we... Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey and Garrett and Anthony and Randall saying lead sled. Mackenzie without an answer. Brody and Giannis saying lead sled.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And Chili erasing his answer before I could read it. He had bench wrench. It's not bad. This is not a knock on lead sled. The correct answer is lead sled. Thank you. What do you got, Garrett? You just don't see a lot of those out in the field when you're hunting.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Yeah, of course not. It's just hard to imagine a lot of those out in the field when you're hunting. Yeah, of course not. It's just hard to imagine using that when you sight in your gun that you hunt with. The lead sled is meant to help you sight in your gun by eliminating the human factor in shooting. The product weighs more than 20 pounds and is often made heavier by the addition of sandbags. Caldwell offers five different types of lead sleds that range from $120 to $450. Yanni, what do you got on lead sleds? You're not a big fan either. I just always feel like it's going to change your length of pull, right?
Starting point is 00:17:14 Because when it drops into that little pocket, right, now there's this space between your stock and your shoulder. And it's just hard to get into that same position that you're going to be shooting from. Sure. I think it serves a great function when you're like changing your ammo or you just put a new scope on or it's your first time out of the season but I understand why
Starting point is 00:17:35 maybe not everyone has one or likes to use one. Now you can just go and buy a silencer, suppressor and achieve the same thing. Question. I know you want to move on from this, but I can't. The other thing you have to think about is when you're shooting at any
Starting point is 00:17:52 kind of distance or trying to be precise, one of the things we try to control is how that gun recoils. Like it or not, there is a moment in time where that bullet is in your barrel when you're still interacting with the firearm.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And so if you strap it into a lead sled, it's going to act altogether different than when it's just recoiling against your arm. So you will have a point of impact shift. I like them. You'll still be able to hit a paper plate. It's all right. Question four. The topic is foraging. According to the Minnesota DNR, this tree is the best and most popular choice for collecting maple sap.
Starting point is 00:18:34 According to the Minnesota DNR, this tree is the best and most popular choice for collecting maple sap. You should be specific. If you think the answer is whitetail deer, you should say whitetail deer. Deer is not good enough. Like black lab instead of lab. There you go. According to the Minnesota DNR,
Starting point is 00:18:56 this tree is the best and most popular choice for collecting maple sap. Can you define best? The Minnesota DNR calls it the best, so you'd have to ask them. Okay. They are the ones who made this declaration that it's the best and the most
Starting point is 00:19:15 popular choice for collecting maple sap. You need to keep that close. Alright, I'm not. This is question four. Brody, do you know this one? We have different answers. I think I'm not. This is question four. Brody, do you know this one? We have different answers. I think I got a pretty good answer. Yanni, do you know this one?
Starting point is 00:19:33 Same thing. Good guess. Randall, do you have this one? I know. I have one of the words correct in the answer. I was going to say, I added a descriptor. I got the deer portion of it.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Okay. I know it. Oh, Anthony knows it. They didn't even have to ask him. Who in here has tapped a tree before? Anthony has. Okay. Anthony, well-equipped to get this one right.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I really hope this is right now. According to the Minnesota DNR, this tree is the best and most popular choice for collecting maple seeds. Corey changed his answer after he saw mine. Oh, okay. It's not the same. Maybe Corey had the same answer as Garrett and thought, there's no way Garrett would have this right, so I need to change my answer. Maybe that's what was going on.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Is everybody ready? I might have it wrong now. Maybe that's what was going on. Is everybody ready? I'm not at it wrong. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying red maple. Garrett saying eastern maple. Anthony saying sugar maple. Randall, white maple. Is there a white maple?
Starting point is 00:20:38 Mackenzie, black maple. I have the same question. Brody, sugar maple. Giannis, silver maple. Chili, what's that say, chili? It just says Brody, sugar maple. Giannis, silver maple. Chili. What's that say, Chili? Oh, it just says maple tree. Canada maple.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Canada maple tree? We have a correct answer in the room. It's sugar maple. Brody and Anthony got that one right. I erased sugar. I'm like, no, it's a sugar shack. According to the Minnesota DNR, sugar maples have the highest concentration of sugar among maple trees. They say it takes 40 gallons of sugar maple sap to create one gallon of maple syrup.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Although sugar maple is the most popular choice, other trees that can be tapped are black maples, red maples, silver maples, and box elder trees. For more on this process, read Jenna Roselle's article on TheMeatEater.com called How to Make Maple Syrup. No white maple on that list, I noticed. No white maple. Question five. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. They just didn't recommend it as one of the alternatives to a sugar maple. I guess we'll never know.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Question five. The topic is fishing. Anthony owned a fishing yacht named the Stugatz in this HBO series. Anthony owned a fishing yacht named the Stugatz in this HBO series. We have Randall, very confident. He's the only one.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Corey, do you have this one right probably not okay quick to answer but he's not confident what hbo show has fishing this is question five the topic is fishing no if you figure that out anthony owned a fishing yacht named the Stugatz in this HBO series. Randall, do you for sure have this one right? I'm not entirely certain, but I have a pretty good guess. How about you, Brody? Do you have this one right? No. Brody, have you ever watched an HBO series in your life?
Starting point is 00:22:44 Yeah. Oh, okay. I watch TV. I just watch good TV. I can in your life? Yeah. Oh, okay. I watch TV. I just watch good TV. I can tell you without a doubt. You watch HBO. It's not Eastbound and Down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:53 That was good TV. That's fantastic. Oh, look at Brody. Brody is an Eastbound fan. Spencer's got kind of an Eastbound and Down look on right now. Yeah, you do. Thank you. I don't know if it's a thank you or not.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Anthony owned a fishing yacht named the Stugatz in this HBO series. I know the show. I just can't think of the title. Okay. That's a problem. I'm definitely right.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Come on. I got it. I don't know if that was a genuine Yanni's got it or a sarcastic have got it. I haven't had I don't do sarcastics. I got it.
Starting point is 00:23:36 I don't have HBO. Unless we're filming Meat Eater. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying The Sopranos. Garrett says Game of Thrones, famous for their fishing yachts. Anthony saying Curb Your Enthusiasm. Randall saying Sopranos.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Mackenzie, without an answer. Brody and Yanni say The Sopranos. Chili, without an answer. It's going to be Boardwalk Empire. The correct answer is The Sopranos. Oh, good. Good job, dude. The other show with the Italians in it.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Tony owned three different fishing yachts across six seasons of The Sopranos. His OG boat was a 1999 Cape Fear 47 Custom Carolina Sport Fish, but was later replaced by a 43-foot Egg harbor and then a 55-foot ocean yacht. The Cape Fear vessel came up for sale in 2023 with the listing calling it, quote, a dream boat for avid anglers. The seller was originally asking for $300,000, but over a year later, it's still available, and the price has been cut to $175,000. $125,000 price cut. And the question you said Anthony, but in the answer you said Tony. I think they both work.
Starting point is 00:24:57 His real name is Anthony. That was a little trickery there, but you're right. Most people call him Tony, except for maybe his wife Carmela or his mom, who would say Antony. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Don't. Yeah, you can leave some of us out.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah, please. Mackenzie, you've got zero points. Garrett and Chili, you've got one point apiece. Anthony has two. Cora and Randall are tied up with three, and tied up in first place are Brody and Giannis with four points. Brody, tell
Starting point is 00:25:29 us more about the HBO shows you like. I'm very interested in this subject matter from your perspective. No, let's move on. Sounds too good. Pass. Question six. The topic is public land.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes. And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join. Whew. Our northern brothers. You're irritated.

Starting point is 00:27:27 shares its name with a reptile and trout. This New Mexico national forest shares its name with a reptile and trout. I'm getting my ass kicked. Phil, what are your favorite HBO shows? Oh, buddy. Loved The Wire. Classic.
Starting point is 00:27:52 You know, I was a huge Game of Thrones fan. I don't think that's a surprise to most people. Do you watch House of the Dragons? I do, yeah. I thought the first season was hit or miss, but I think the second season is cooking pretty hard, I would say. You know this one? Yeah. Wow. But I think the second season is cooking pretty hard. I would say You know this one. Yeah Wow this New Mexico National Forest shares its name with a reptile and
Starting point is 00:28:13 trout Do you ever leave Montana Also, no,'s lets for Garrett. No let's lets, don't leave Montana. Never lived anywhere else but Montana. It's commendable. That's why he doesn't like any of us. Get around, you know, do some hunting and fishing.
Starting point is 00:28:37 All these out-of-staters. Yeah, it was a lot smaller room back then. This New Mexico national forest shares its name with a reptile and trout. Is everybody ready? It does not count, right? It does not count, Chili. But now I'm excited to see what you'll come up with. That was my question.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Chili, I got good news for you. I saw your answer. And he likes it. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. And he likes it. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying Apache. Garrett says Brook. Anthony says Gila.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Randall. Gila. Mackenzie. Cutthroat. Brody. And Yanni. And Chili. Say Gila. They got it.
Starting point is 00:29:25 The correct answer is the Gila National Forest. The Gila monster and Gila trout are native to the American Southwest and Mexico. The Gila monster is a venomous reptile that's the largest lizard native to the U.S. The Gila trout is a rare fish that only has 24 populations left in the wild. Gila is derived from a Yuma word that means running water, which is salty and was first used to describe the Gila River. Did you say the largest lizard? Largest lizard native to the United States. Does that check out?
Starting point is 00:30:03 Can you think of a bigger one? How big is it? Are crocodiles and alligators not considered lizards? I don't... I would guess they're not. Question seven. The topic is conservation. Crocodilia.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Even I knew that. This federal agency has rehomed 300,000 wild horses and burros through its adoption program. Shoot. I think I know this. This federal agency has rehomed 300,000 wild horses and burros through its adoption program. Mackenzie thinks that she knows this one. She's going to try to get on the board here at question seven. You don't have to call attention to it like that.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I just invited Mackenzie to play trivia about 10 minutes before the show started, so she just wasn't prepared today. I didn't have time to prep. That's right. Yeah, mentally. Had to do some meditations and so forth. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:54 This is question seven. The topic is conservation. This federal agency has rehomed 300,000 wild horses and burros through its adoption program. Corey, Yanni, Brody, Randall, we're all very confident. Oh, I don't know if I'm confident. Chili, think wild horses. Thanks, Randall.
Starting point is 00:31:19 You know, up until you said that. Don't get hung up on, just don't get hung up on everything. Yeah, or George Strait. Up until you said that, Randall, he was thinking about captive white-tailed deer, so it was very helpful. There's a great cover of wild horses in the
Starting point is 00:31:35 Mark Wahlberg film, Fear. Who covers it? Mark Wahlberg? I don't know. No. This federal agency. I watched Parasite on the plane yesterday. How was it? It's a good one.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I recommend it. Yeah, I mean, I feel like I only ever hear you talk about horror films, and you don't seem like a horror film person. I'm not a horror film person. It's more of a thriller. Yeah, it's like a, you know, drama almost. But yeah, Scream and Saw and that kind of stuff. Do you just wait for some poor kid to sit down next to you
Starting point is 00:32:14 when you throw that on your screen? No. Oh, no. Just like a Johnny move. You don't even know what they could have edited out when you're watching the airplane version. They do some pretty heavy cuts. Oh, do they?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Oh, I did not know that. They don't want the kids to see it next to you. Do you have business class, Yanni? No. In the lay down seat? No, jeez, I wish. Yeah, you'll get the expense report. That's what I was checking.
Starting point is 00:32:39 There's a lot less blood and sex in the airplane version of films. Does everybody have an answer for question seven? That's interesting because this movie has a sex scene but it was not very intense. Maybe. Okay, you'll have to watch it. Not to the kind of sex scenes he's
Starting point is 00:32:57 going to watch. That wasn't what he was hoping for. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey and Garrett saying BLM. Anthony says Nature Conservancy. Randall says BLM. Mackenzie doesn't want to show her answer. Brody, Yanni saying BLM.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Chili doesn't want to show his answer either. The correct answer is the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM has been rehoming free-roaming horses and burros since 1971. Some horses are available for just a $25 adoption fee, while others go up for auction. A new record was set this year when a wild filly from BLM land in Wyoming had a winning bid of $60,000. That horse's name was Thora, who was the daughter of the famous wild horse Thor. Thor was a white stallion who was a favorite among horse enthusiasts. Thor died in April from a blow to the head during a fight with a rival horse, Dale. This happened right before his offspring, Thora, came up for auction, which caused her price tag to skyrocket.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Question eight. The topic is cooking. This seven-letter word refers to the process of cleaning crayfish by placing them in running water for 24 hours so that they can clear their intestinal tract. This seven-letter word refers to the process of cleaning crayfish by placing them in running water for 24 hours so that they can clear their intestinal tract. You know it, Brody? Full on? Brody was very confident.
Starting point is 00:34:45 He probably didn't even need the seven-letter hint. He's the only player, though, who's come up with an answer. Oh, how could I forget about Succession? I love Succession. That's a good one. You know what I wanted to know? Who was the main character? Who was the son in that?
Starting point is 00:35:03 The main character with the dark black hair? Logan was the dad. Yeah. Or Shiv. I wanted him to kill himself. Oh, yeah. Like sitting on the bench. They were definitely foreshadowing that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah, I think that. Just kill himself. That would have been so satisfying. Spoilers for the end of succession. This certainly isn't a Montana question, is it, Garen? No. This seven-letter word refers to the process of cleaning crayfish. A lot of big crawdads on the lower Madison.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah, there's a lot of wading in the lower Madison. Oof, gross. This seven-letter word refers to the process of cleaning crayfish by placing them in running water for 24 hours so that they can clear their intestinal tract. Makes big brown trout. Yanni, do you have this one right? I have a seven-letter word
Starting point is 00:35:48 that is associated with... Makes sense. Chili, how you doing over here? Oh, not good, but I just decided I'm just going to hold out for those kids and just lay the hammer down on them. Crush your dreams. I'm going to have to join you, Chili.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I'm getting pretty whooped over here. More than welcome. Spencer keeps offering you guys like a no winners game. Well, we already played it. Oh, you did? How'd that go? We don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:36:16 To win. It aired a couple days ago. We had Corey go to a tiebreaker with Hansi. I think they both had eight correct answers and Hansi was the winner. Nice. Randall listened, though.
Starting point is 00:36:31 He had to tell me yesterday he got a perfect game. I did. I did. Get out of here. Did you make the questions easy? I did on the kids' game, too. Did you pick softballs? I made sure that the Shelby Index was a five,
Starting point is 00:36:43 and ordinarily I knew that if I would have come in here with those questions for this group, for example, there would have been a 10 among somebody. But we had Corey and Hansi, who I think had eight correct answers. Again, this is question eight. The topic is cooking. This seven letter word refers to the process of cleaning crayfish by placing them in running water for 24 hours so that they can clear their intestinal tract is everybody ready cory yep go ahead and reveal your answers we have cory saying dipping garrett without an answer anthony saying flushing randall says mud i did the same thing mckenzie says flushed brody and yanni say purging chili without an answer the correct answer is purging yanni and brody got that right i feel like i
Starting point is 00:37:37 could have gotten that too purging is considered a crucial step in the cooking process according to louisiana state, purging crayfish in running water for 24 hours cleans out their gut and the unappetizing black vein in their tail meat. Some use salt in the purging process, but LSU says it's unnecessary.
Starting point is 00:37:58 It's recommended you do a similar purge of snapping turtles that lasts a week before cleaning them. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a leaderboard update. Let's do it. Mackenzie, I guess I have to call everyone out now that we're just showing it.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I'm so sorry. I feel bad. Mackenzie, Garrett, Anthony, Chili, Corey, you have been eliminated from the game. Randall has five points and can, I guess, technically catch up. But Brody and Giannis are tied up for first, in first, with seven points. Question nine. The topic is fishing.
Starting point is 00:38:34 This next great question is via Daniel O. Texas Parks and Wildlife declared the Trinity River to be the best place in the world to target this fish. Oh. Again, you need to be specific. Brody's got a lot of fishing, strong fishing connection down in Texas. If you think the answer is whitetail deer, you need to say whitetail deer or deer would not be good enough. Texas Parks and Wildlife declared the Trinity River
Starting point is 00:39:06 to be the best place in the world to target this fish. Brody may separate himself from Randall and Yanni. Yanni was writing for a while, so he might have the same answers. Okay, there's a little hint. Because I was what? Writing for a long time. Oh, yeah, and I noticed. It's a good hint. Because I was what? Writing for a long time. Oh, yep. And I noticed it's a good way to get a hint, man.
Starting point is 00:39:28 If you don't know it, you immediately start looking at the Randalls and Brodies in the room and see how long they write and it gives you an idea of how long the answer is. I don't know if you remember from the first kids episode that were recorded, though. I think it was Mabel who, when I would ask the question, she would watch
Starting point is 00:39:44 the entire room to see what their would ask the question, she would watch the entire room to see what their reaction was. And then she would use that information to come up with her answer. So it runs in the family. It runs in the family. Does everybody have an answer for the fish?
Starting point is 00:40:00 That's the... For the where... For what the Texas Parks and Wildlife declared the Trinity River to be the best place in the world to target this fish. Got some comedians over here with Garrett, Corey, and Chili.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Corey saying Guadalupe bass. Garrett says Largemouth Bass. Anthony Asian Carp. Randall Alligator Gar. Mackenzie, Largemouth Bass. Brody, Alligator Gar.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Yanni, Guadalupe Bass. Chili without an answer. We have a correct answer in the room. It's alligator gar Brody and Randall Got that one right 24 of the 39
Starting point is 00:40:51 IGFA world record Alligator gar Have come from the Trinity River in Texas Growing to over 8 feet long And 300 pounds They are one of the largest freshwater fish On the planet They are commonly hunted the largest freshwater fish on the planet. They are commonly hunted by bow fishermen or targeted
Starting point is 00:41:08 by anglers with cut bait such as carp, buffalo, gizzard shad, and mullet. We have one question left and Brody is now leading Yanni by one point. They are only two players left in the game.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Isn't Randall still in it? No. Randall was two behind. You just kicked him off the back of the train. Yeah. The Maple, the Texas Alaska. Here's question 10. The topic is hunting.
Starting point is 00:41:34 This is our listener question of the week, which was won by David Earhart for sending this great question. David 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 hunting. How many colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club? This is our final question.
Starting point is 00:42:01 We would need Yanni to get this right and Brody to get this wrong to go to a tiebreaker. How many colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club? So I've got a question on this because there's like English labs and then American labs. Are we talking just American? It is what they define as a Labrador Retriever. And the things that they define as a Labrador Retriever, they recognize a certain amount of colors
Starting point is 00:42:32 of. Randall, do you have this one right? I don't know what the American Kennel Club thinks, but I know how many real colors of Labrador Retrievers there are. Again, we need Yanni to get this right and Brody to get this wrong to go into overtime. How many colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club?
Starting point is 00:42:59 Brody, how do you feel about your answer? 50-50. Okay. Getting this right could just end the game. Yanni, how do you feel about your answer mmm 50-50 okay getting this right could just end the game Yanni how do you feel about your answer pretty good all right I like this is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have Corey saying six Garrett saying four. Anthony saying four. Randall saying three. McKenzie saying four.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Brody saying three. He crossed out four. Yanni saying four. Chili saying five. Good guess, Chili. We have a correct answer in the room. It's three, making Brody our winner. Those boutique silver things don't count. What are the three colors, Brody?
Starting point is 00:43:50 Tell me. Black, yellow, and chocolate or brown. The AKC only recognizes labs that are black, yellow, or chocolate. They do not recognize labs that are silver, white, or red. It also states that color combinations or brindle
Starting point is 00:44:06 patterns are a disqualification. However, a small white spot on the chest is acceptable, but not desirable. Brody, you are our winner. How many points did he have? He had nine. Nine correct answers, Brody. Well done. And because of Heart and Soil, we are doubling our donation today to $1,000. $500 from Meat Eater, $500 from Heart and Soil. Brody, what conservation group are you giving that money to? Man, I know it's boring, but I'm doing the land access initiative. The LAI.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Let that corner crossing thing settle. That's right. We're still fighting that? I feel like we're going to be fighting that forever. It's still going on at this point. Not if we raise a bunch of money and get that thing settled. Brody wants to legally cross them corners all over the place. He's giving $1,000 to the LAI.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Thanks to Heart and Soil for doubling our conservation donation today. Join us next time for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
