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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

This next great question is via Dennis Cook. This New Mexico national forest
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Randall.
Gila.
Mackenzie.
Cutthroat.
Brody. And Yanni.
And Chili.
Say Gila.
They got it.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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

You know it, Brody? Full on?
Brody was very confident.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,

The topic is hunting.
How many colors of Labrador Retriever are recognized by the American Kennel Club?
This is our final question.
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
Thank you, Spencer.
Thanks, Spencer.
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 amateur rock hound.
