Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Yanni, Brody, Randall, Seth, Marge, Colin, and Chili. 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 winners choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at data from the first two weeks of MeatEater crossword puzzles. As a reminder, our website now has weekly crossword puzzles that are outdoor themed and free to play. It takes the average player nine minutes and five seconds to finish all 20 clues. Their average score is 102 points. Now, I always test these on our very own Randall Williams before

they get sent out to the meat eater audience. And believe it or not, he's very good at them. Randall's average time is two minutes and 29 seconds, and his average score is 380 points. Only two players among the tens of thousands who have played so far have gotten a better score than him. What's the perfect score? How do you even get a score? It's based on how many hints you use and how much time you take. It's just basically accuracy in time that it's factoring. Because 380 doesn't mean anything if I don't know how good is 380.

Well, if you do it as fast as you possibly can and you don't use any hints and you get everything right, you get a 380. We noticed. Thanks for that clarification. Randall got 380 points three straight times, three straight weeks. And we're like, this must be the max. So one of our folks went in, Logan Dve, who had the answers in front of them.

He typed them in as fast as he possibly could. And his score was 410. How long did, what was his time? I don't remember what it was. Oh, that's incredible. I mean, that's useful information. To answer your question, Brody, the perfect score varies based on how tough the clues are on a given week and how many questions there are. There's almost always 20 clues.

But we've noticed that 400 is about the ceiling. Seems curious that three times in a row you've gotten 380 points. Listen, I just assumed it was a max score. I thought it was strange. Which I thought was quite close. So there's 20 hands, 20 answers. That's right. And he's doing all that in two minutes?

Two minutes and 29 seconds. Can we do this live next time? Can that average is going down? I think we should watch him do it live. It takes me longer than that just to read everything on there. We'll film him sometime just to make sure everything's kosher over there. I'm just shocked and appalled that the crossword game requires explanation. I assumed that everybody in the office was playing it. That's a negative. Now, to be fair, even if- Who has time to sit around playing crossword game requires explanation. I assumed that everybody in the office was playing it.

That's a negative. Now, to be fair, even if... Who has time to sit around playing cross... I mean, I guess it only takes two minutes. You don't have two minutes. Even if Randall was cheating, the fact that he could Google those questions that quickly is still impressive.

Listen, if you want to try cheating at the crossword puzzles, no one is stopping you. That's even a bigger waste of time than doing crossword. Why would you think I'd want to cheat? I just looked at it and said, oh, I don't have the hour it'll take me to do this. Like I said, the average player takes nine minutes

and five seconds. Now I'll try it. I'll try the next one. Okay, unless you're a doctor over there. Then two minutes and 29 seconds. This is a huge confidence boost going into today's trivia episode. I hope that it's not setting me up for failure. Is there going to be, with this crossword thing, is there going to be a prize for the person

that has the best overall average? No, because then it would just be Randall. Well, exclude Randall. Yeah, someday. We'll gamify this even more. Maybe we'll start sending out some signed board games like we do. I think expensive prizes. Do a wordle. A meat-eater wordle.

If people keep playing the crossword, there are more games to come. Now the newest meat-eater crossword puzzle is live right now at themeateater.com backslash games. There are now four of them on our website that you can play. Please go there and try to beat Randall's suspiciously good scores. 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, Jamie Calvert wants to know,

On a recent episode, Corinne mentioned that there should be an outtakes compilation for the upcoming videos you'll be releasing. I was wondering if you have considered putting together an outtakes video from trivia and the collective content you create. I think it would be incredible to see the goofy moments that never make the show. Here's the thing, Jamie, we don't have outtakes because Phil doesn't allow us to edit anything out of trivia. Trivia is just what you hear is what happens in this room. If it's a 45-minute episode,

that means you got all 45 minutes of us sitting in the studio. Meat-eater raw and uncut. Phil says the cameras make it too hard to edit things. But how often does Steve have you editing things in a regular Monday episode? I mean, even before video, we didn't do a lot of editing even with the meat eater podcast I if there was like

and I did do some editing in trivia before the cameras I would cut out really long awkward pauses but now now if we do that in video then we just have to like crossfade all those and it would look kind of goofy and and. So when you watch on YouTube and when you listen to the podcast, you're getting the whole there's no cuts, no edits. No outtakes. We should try and work in a nice, long, awkward pause. This is as funny as we get. There's nothing.

Yeah, all the goofy moments stay in. Now instead of housekeeping this week, we have an announcement about an upcoming Meat Eater project starting on September 7th. We an announcement about an upcoming Meat Eater project. Starting on September 7th, we'll be going on the Meat Eater Tailgate Tour. We'll be making four stops at some of the biggest college football games this season and hanging outside the stadium before the event. We've got stops in Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania with crew members such as me, Yanni, Clay, Randall, Seth, Brody, and more. You can go to TheMeatEater.com backslash tailgate for more information on how you can find

us at each game. And this is your chance to be on the show at the first stop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'll be hosting an episode of Meat Eater Trivia where fans will will go head-to-head with Dr. Randall in the only game show where conservation always wins. But don't worry, I'll be giving those fans a huge advantage because I don't want Randall to win. So, if you'll be at the September 7th game between the Michigan Wolverines and Texas Longhorns, then shoot me an email at trivia at themeateater.com and tell me why you want to be on the show. It'll just be like you'll find one person and then it'll be one question and then you'll find another one. We're going to do a regular old episode, 10 questions of Meedeater Trivia.

We'll pull in fans from the Texas Longhorns. We'll pull in fans from the Michigan Wolverines. I don't know. Well, Phil has a limited number of inputs that he can bring on the road with us. So I think it's like four or five fans, something like that. But email me trivia at the media dot com and tell me if you're going to be there and why you want to play. And then you'll get to come compete against Randall and probably win. Obviously, I didn't get the full story before I agreed to this. Randall just learned. I was nervous now.

That he's fighting with his one hand tied behind his back for the Ann Arbor episode. Seth and Brody and I will be at the Penn State. Penn State, Ohio State game. Right during the run. Biggest game in the country. It's the big one. Don't bring up that sore subject. Spencer, I wasn't going to say nothing about it.

Yanni was asking if he even has to go to the game or if he can get out of there and go hunting. Hey, if we're going to dive right in, this is how I feel about this. Run, don't cut. Phil, you might have to edit this part out. I think we're going to get some squirrel hunting in the morning of. Yeah, there's some good squirrel hunting. Seth, are you going to stick around there for a little while?

Giannis is going to be checking his trail cameras every five minutes. Right after that game, I'm coming home to do a week-long deer camp in Montana, but I think I'm going to go early and get in some hunting. So you guys are going squirrel hunting, and I'm playing a stacked game of trivia.

It's lovely. Go find Gianni and Seth and Brody at that Penn State game, and Yanni will show you all the trail cam pictures that he's getting right during the rut. He'd be thrilled to show you. If there's a cold front going on right then, that's going to really burn. Yeah, you know like music festivals,

if an act drops out, one of the 50, they'll just like cross their name out. That may happen with the tailgate tour if a cold front comes through on November 2nd. Listen, Yanni, I guarantee you I'll be getting trail cam pictures from a trail camera that will be about 45 minutes away. Oh, that's a lot of information. So keep that in mind. You think we could act upon that? I think we could make it happen.

TheMeDieter.com backslash tailgate. 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 conservation. And as always, this will be multiple choice. And this first great question is via Jake Burton. According to the National Park Service, what percentage of wildfires in America are caused by humans? Is it 25 percent, 45 percent, 65 percent or 85%? What percentage of wildfires in America are caused by humans? 25%, 45%, 65%, or 85%?

Our forestry expert over here, Seth, how do you feel about your answer? I might change it, honestly. Okay. I'm going to stick with it. There are a lot of folks very quick to answer in the room. Is everybody ready? I can't run the numbers in my head again.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying 65. Chili 85. Randall 65. Colin 85. Marge 65. And her answer is on fire. Yanni 25.

Brody 65. The correct answer is 85%. I think we had Chili and Colin. Son of a bitch. Get that one right. I almost changed it, too. Off to a great start.

The top human-related cause of wildfires are unattended campfires. Other human-related causes include burning trash, equipment malfunction, discarded cigarettes, fireworks fireworks and arson for non-human related causes the top wildfire starters are lightning strikes volcanoes and spontaneous combustion two of those three there's only 15 that can't be humans uh so there's not a lot of options out there question two the topic is hunting. This brand, which is famous for their shock collar technology, claims to have the best selling expandable broadhead of all time. The topic is hunting.

This brand, which is famous for their shock collar technology, claims to have the best-selling expandable broadhead of all time. Seth, the only person to come up with an answer so far. I think, well, if it's what I'm thinking of, I used to. Wow, okay. There's a hint if you

know Seth's gear history. Which no one in here knows. Seth barely knows it, he seems. He had to think about it for a second. This brand, which is famous for their shock collar technology, claims to have the best-selling expandable broadhead of all time. You ever mess around with them, Giannis? No. Expandable broadheads or this company uh both of those answers expandable broadheads though uh gosh darn it i wrote down one but i know it's not right it's the other one okay but i cannot think of the name do you have the other one. Okay. But I cannot think of the name. Brody, do you have the other one that he's looking for, you think? Let's see.

I have the other one. Oh! Well, there's a hint if Yanni has time to come up with the other one. Well, who knows? He could be right. Oh, maybe. Maybe, maybe. Doesn't mean I'm right.

Come on! This brand, which is famous for their shot collar technology claims to have the best selling expandable broadhead of all time randall does an archery hunt no no i don't again this is fantastic that is their claim they they put that everywhere in big old letters we have the best selling expandable broadhead of all time no for, for this one, I need to rely on arguments I've seen on the internet between fixed and mechanical. And do you have an answer, Randall? I do.

Okay. No confidence in it. Yeah, the Element boys like to get in on some of that. Is everybody ready? I'm torn between two, but I'm going to start. Colin, do you have an answer? Everyone's got an answer. Let's see.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying rage. Chili says schwacker. Randall, rage. Colin, rage. Marge, without an answer. Giannis, schwacker. Brody, rage.

The correct answer. That's the only one I knew. Is not schwacker, it's rage. Rage in the cage, is not Schwacker, it's Rage. Hallelujah. Rage broadheads hit the market in 2006. They set themselves apart by introducing expandable broadheads

that were rear-deploying instead of over-the-top deploying. Their first broadheads had dental bands holding the blades in place, but eventually went to using the patented shot collars. I've killed some stuff with those, Spencer. Yeah, a lot of folks

like to blame Rage. They're like the boogeyman for a lot of bow hunters who think that they didn't recover a critter because the broadhead failed them. No, I've recovered animals, bad shots on animals because of rage. You think it was rage's fault?

Big holes? No, no, no. I shot a deer in the guts one time, and that thing didn't go far at all, because the hole. Cut it in half. Yeah. Yes. I'm sure there have absolutely been failures for folks,

but people are too eager to just blame the broadhead when they don't recover a deer question three the topic is woodsmanship the 2017 hurricane harvey caused most of its 125 billion dollars in damage in this state harvey randall coming up with an answer now he's the only one the 2017 had a quick answer chili was the quickest the 2017 hurricane harpy caused most of its 125 billion dollars in damage in this state. Yanni, what broadheads are you shooting these days? Iron wheels. Oh, one of them guys. Have you ever considered an expandable broadhead?

Considered it, yeah. Considered it, but that's as far as you've gone. Yeah. I had a story about a Rage. It was right back when they came out and before they had the shot caller and The guy I was guiding Had they figured it out that there was an issue with it. What year were you think this was? like probably 10

2006 is when they hit the markets and that being the ten. That'd be in the early years of Rage. Go ahead. And so they would take that rubber band off and instead just put like a little piece of like the wire that you would tie like a copper john body with. They just put a piece of that wire around it and that would make it hold on longer until it got into the animal.

Called in a giant, like a 360 something and he smoked it at like 10 or 15 yards, and I watched it fall over dead. That's how far it went. Very cool. Mm-hmm. It was a rage commercial.

Yeah, sounds pretty convincing to me. Again, the 2017 Hurricane Harvey caused most of its $125 billion in damage in this state? Brody, I think we're waiting on you. Keep waiting. Last question. He was the one to say, turn him over. I'm sure everybody has an answer by now.

This question. Yeah. Keep waiting. Marge, what are you drawing for us? Just pick a hurricane state. It ain't North Dakota, bro. You got to pick a hurricane state with $125 billion worth of stuff to destroy.

That's a hint right there. Is everybody ready? Using all the available clues. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Chili saying Texas. Randall crossed out Texas and said Florida. Colin, New York.

Marge, Florida. And she drew a giant tsunami wave destroying a city. That's brilliant, Marge. Giannis says Florida. Brody crossed out Florida and wrote Texas. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Texas. About half of you got that one right.

Hurricane Harvey is second only to 2005's Hurricane Katrina for the costliest hurricane of all time. Harvey was a Category 4 storm that caused most of its damage through rainfall-triggered flooding in the Houston area. It dropped 40 inches of rain in just a few days, making it the wettest tropical cyclone on record in American history. Jesus, that's a lot of rain. Question four.

The topic is fishing. And this next great question is via Bill Dunlap. What's the part of a fish finder that transmits sonar signals into the water column and then receives the echoes from those transmissions? Colin has a loud marker over there. Is that mine? No. Is it Brody?

Yeah, that's Brody. Wow. Sorry, Colin. What's the part of a fish finder that transmits sonar signals into the water column and then receives the echoes from those transmissions? Who is the fella that sent this in? When I tell you the answer, what's that going to inform you? I just want to know what the guy's name was.

I like the question. Bill Dunlap. Great question, Bill. Good work, Bill. I thought maybe there was a hint in there. Like, you know, the guy at Lowrance who, you know, makes their depth finders. It's a great question. It is a great question, Bill.

That's why it's question four. What's the part of a fish finder that transmits sonar signals into the water column and then receives the echoes from those transmissions. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying transducer. Chili, what's that say? Transceiver.

Randall, transounder. Colin, transducer. Marge, microphone. Giannis, transducer. Brody, transducer. Marge, microphone. Giannis, transducer. Brody, transducer. He got it. The correct answer is transducer. Randall over there, I think one for three after riding that high of the 380.

This is why we need to have a question. I love it. Does it still say the AKA the 300, man? I took that off after question one. Now, you know what real experienced Fishfinder users call them, don't you? Sounders.

Deucers. As Yanni pointed out, on Randall's whiteboard for question one, he had the words Mr. 380 on there, but they've disappeared ever since ray marine says that the transducer is the heart of a sonar system the common places to mount a transducer are through the hall off the transom or on the trolling motor transom mounted transducers

should always be placed on the right side of the motor because propellers spin clockwise if you were to put it on the left side the engine would create a vortex of water around the transducer that would interfere with the readings question five the topic is great tip that's a good tip right there always needs to go on the right side otherwise your motor is going to mess it up what if if you're on a starboard side? Question five. The topic is cooking. This five letter spice, which McCormick describes as quote, earthy and warm with an edge of

citrus is one of the main ingredients in chili powder. This is question five. This five-letter spice, which McCormick describes as earthy and warm with an edge of citrus, is one of the main ingredients in chili powder. Brody, you have this one, right? I do.

Brody or Seth, you boys ever bump a transducer When you shouldn't have and need to replace it Not replace but definitely Like had it at the wrong angle Where it was like 900 feet Yeah Seth you ever mess one up real good No

No not really Um I've had them suction cup before To the back of my boat Yeah if you're I do that in Alaska When you want to like take them on and off real quick Oh I got you

Now why would you take them on and off real quick Cause your boat's always getting beached and stuff Again this is question five This five letter spice Which McCormick describes as earthy and warm with an edge of citrus, is one of the main ingredients in chili powder.

I know a guy who, not going to mention his name because a lot of people here in this room know him, but they've had suction, transducers that were suction cupped to a boat fall off while they're running and it pulls the whole damn fish finder overboard. That's a fun mistake. Sounds like a Chester thing.

I didn't say any names. Seth has yet to come up with an answer for the five letter spice that we're looking for. Yanni, you have this one right? I believe so. Brody, you have this one right? Yep. Does this spice have a place in your cabinet right now?

It does. You use it all the time. Oh wow, all the time. I don't know. I don't know either. Randall, how do you feel about your answer? I made your award winning chili that most likely had the spice in it.

And uh... It was good! Award winning? Mmm. Well, you should enter this year, Yanni. I don't like recipes that have a bunch of stuff that you didn't make

in them. And that's kind of, like even before I made it and ate it, I was like, I had a little chip on my shoulder. Is there cans of stuff in that? Yeah. How on earth do you live

if you're not like, you know, cooking with ingredients that you didn't create? Well, it's like, but it's a separate, it's a separate recipe. Uh- you know what I mean sure like those

beans already taste like something it's very manipulated as opposed to just adding I'll tell you this it was it dominated the chili competition hey listen I heard all about it. I read the article before I made it. Do you need it? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying cumin. Chili says cumin. Randall, ancho, Colin, Tom, Marge, and Giannis and Brody say cumin.

The correct answer is cumin. Randall got it wrong again. It is not your day, Randall. No, I'm asleep. This is kind of fun. You might want to lay off on those crossword puzzles, Randall. According to McCormick, cumin is one of their 10 best-selling spices in the United States.

It provides depth to dishes and is a popular ingredient in both vegetable and meat-based recipes. McCormick says it goes best with thyme, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Chili is staring me down here. I just expect more from you. Whoa. All right. this is fun.

Well, tied up in last place, we've got Maggie and Mr. 380 himself, Randall Williams. You know, I've never used this tool before, but I can bring up this little cursor here and actually highlight things. Can we do this like the tournament of champions where the people in last place just leave

halfway through? And Yanni is now getting a video that he needs to remember this day forever. Giannis Poutelis is up next with two. Chili and Conlon are tied up with three. Oh, I got more than two, bro. Nope. And in first place, we got Seth and Brody with four points. Good job, Seth. Anybody's game.

No, I think you seriously missed one, Phil. Okay, question one was 85%. You got that one wrong. Okay, number two was rage. You did not write that. Got that one wrong. Number three was Texas. Got that one wrong, too.

He's right. Good job, Phil. Thanks. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness, do we hear from the Canadians Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.

but his wife once said Randall was a high school bully. So I've now heard that from two sources, including Direction. Both of them know me very well. Did she know you in high school? No. But she's heard stories. Wow.

Can't confirm Randall had a... They're funny stories. He was a funny bully. Yeah. With a mullet, right? Is everybody ready? He had a mullet. I had a letterman's jacket that said red on the breast of it. Everybody ready.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Chili and Randall saying WD-40. Oh, my God. Colin says gravity filter. Marge says floating. Giannis and Brody say WD 40 they got it the correct answer is WD 40 WD 40 was made to be a rust prevention solvent for the aerospace industry with the scientists created it on their 40th

attempt the product was so popular that lab staff started smuggling out cans in their lunchbox so that they could use it at home. The brand blew up in popularity after WD-40 was included in service kits for soldiers during the Vietnam War. Question seven. The topic is conservation. The protagonists of this 1994 movie kill one of the world's rarest owls by shooting it with the cork of a champagne bottle. Are we looking for the movie? The movie. Tell me the name of the movie. The protagonists of this 1994 movie kill one of the world's rarest owls by shooting it with the cork of a champagne bottle.

94. Jesus, look. That's when I was born. Yanni, you have this one right? I believe I do. Brody, you have this one right? I think so. Okay, Randall. You know how I hate these kind of questions. Mark this day in history because I'm not good at this category. I think so. Okay, Randall. You know how I hate these kind of questions. That's right, Brody. Mark this day in history, because I'm not good at this category.

Yeah. You and Brody really dislike anything with pop culture. This is conservation. Yeah, I suppose a rare owl. Conservation, the protagonist of this 1994 movie. Imaginary conservation. I don't dislike it, Spencer. It's fun.

I'm just not good at it. Okay, they kill one of the world's rarest owls by shooting it with the cork of a champagne bottle. What kind of owl was it? I'll tell you in the flavor text. Get out of here, Seth. Now we have a race to see if Randall can catch up with Chili before the end of the game.

Chili had a two-point lead. Never thought I'd hear those words. Going into question six. I just wanted to let you know, like, this is for scaring me the other day. Oh, yeah, I did actually scare Chili. What, did you, like, tell him you had cancer, or did you surprise him around the corner? I was walking past his door, and I went, Chili! And he jumped out of his skin and

i said some bad words was it supposed to be like a chili's commercial is that what you know i just like to sing chili's sort of has a musical quality to it that was randall bullying chili i was just on my way to the uh the commercial kitchen just to raid the, see if there were any tasty beverages to be had. And then I felt really bad and I apologized to Chili multiple times because I try to always be kind to Chili. Again, we're on question seven. Fall for not, it seems. The topic is conservation.

The protagonists of this 1994 movie kill one of the world's rarest owls by shooting it with the cork of a champagne bottle. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth without an answer. Chili says Ace Ventura. Randall, Dumb and Dumber. Colin and Marge without an answer.

Yanni says Dumb and Dumber. Brody says Ace Ventura. We have a correct answer in the room. It's dumb and dumber. Randall and Yanni got that one right. Man, you're good at that kind of question. You guys have good Jim Carrey instinct, though. Harry and Lloyd are attending a benefit for the Icelandic snow owl

when the accident happens. Someone at the event says there are only 14 of these magnificent birds left in the world. Although there is no Icelandic snow owl in real life, there is a snowy owl that exists across much of the northern hemisphere. They are a vulnerable species whose population has decreased by 64 percent since the year 1970 here is that video of Lloyd Christmas killing the fictional version of that bird play the clip Phil this calls for a little of the bubbly you're gonna be my best man here oh good I promise thank you you have just earned yourself a seat at the head table pal we already got to Texas boy this party really died again that was the fictional Icelandic snow owl that is based off a real-life snowy owl. Highlight of my day.

Question 8. The topic is public land, and this next great question is via Justin Fay. The Bureau of Land Management helped pour the concrete pad at the Four Corners Monument, which is where these four states meet.

The BLM helped pour the concrete pad at the Four Corners Monument, which is where these four states meet. Brody and Randall have already put their whiteboards down. They appear to have this one right.

The rest of the room is coming up with their answer, except for Chili is yet to put marker to whiteboard. And I haven't said a thing up until now. BLM helped pour the concrete pad at the Four Corners Monument, which is where these four states meet. Oh, shit. Speaking of dumb and dumber, on this week's episode of media radio which is now a week old

by the time you hear this we are reviewing the gray and randall has already watched it yanni and i have not watched it yet phil you're gonna watch it right i am i have not watched it yet though have you has anyone seen it i have I screened it for the first time last night. I think 100 and I looked it up. 161 F-bombs in 117 minutes. Wow. Really? Who's keeping track of this?

I looked it up on Wikipedia. I thought this was a PG-13 kind of middle of the road action thriller. No, there's not a lot of dialogue and quite a bit of it is profane. Great. Randall declared that he has four pages of note for what we were thinking. I can't wait. It would be like a 10 minute segment.

I've got a yellow pad. I have a lot of thoughts. So The Grey, you can go watch it and then go listen to the last episode of Meat Eater Radio to hear what me, Giannis, Phil, and Randall listen to the last episode of meat eater radio to hear what me janice phil and randall had to think of it and i think it's sort of unavoidable that we're gonna have to spoil the movie in the course of yes yes sure okay i think that's a given anyone who hears that is going to have the movie spoiled so you should go watch it first yep which we declared where you can

watch it on amazon Prime? And actually, it is leaving Amazon Prime, I believe in seven days. Wow! So this couldn't have been times more. I mean, it's just unbelievable. Again, we're on question eight. The BLM helped pour the concrete pad at the Four Corners Monument,

which is where these states meet. Is everybody ready? Marge, come on! Julie, did you not take geography class? No. Shut up, Colin. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Chili without an answer.

I fucked it up. Randall, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona. Colin, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona. Marge, without an answer. Yanni, saying Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah. Brody, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The four states that meet at the four corners are Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Nick, we had five of you. I just also want to point out that, Colin, you didn't get the WD-40 question right.

It was in the question. Yeah, that's a fair point. I get it. This is a nasty episode. Yeah, that was tough. Three sides. I get it. This is a nasty episode. Yeah, that'll stop. Ooh. Three sides. I love it. Three sides of the Four Corners Monument are owned by the Navajo Nation, and the fourth

side is owned by the Ute Tribe. There has been some controversy over the monument's location, with states arguing that the initial land surveys were off because of the primitive equipment used, a spokesperson for the NGS even declared that the actual Four Corners Monument should be 600 yards further west than where it's been placed. But because all four states accepted the survey markers in 1875, then the boundaries are legally binding and the borders will stay exactly as they are. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, well, Randall's

clawed his way back into the running. I'll say, Maggie, I'm sorry you have one point. You're out. But Randall and Colin are tied up with four, as well as Chili. Sorry, Chili. Seth and Giannis are up next with five, and in first place, Brody Henderson has six points.

Giannis went on a little tear there. Question time. Is that his only game? So did Randall. 600 yards. That's almost half a mile. That would really help some people out. 600 yards.

When they were reevaluating. To the west, you said, right? Should be further west than what it is. Yeah, so Utah and Arizona would get hosed. They found that the borders, if you look at a map, they should be straight, obviously. They zigzag quite often in that area, and they found one spot where it's 1.25 miles off that they just took away from one state, gave to the other. But they said it's legally binding, nothing will change, since everyone agreed in 1875 that that's where they are.

Question nine, the topic is cooking. According to The Atlantic, this is the default temperature that most American ovens go to when you start them. Oh. According to The Atlantic, this is the default temperature that most American ovens go to when you start them. Some of those questions that really separates the people who have ever done any sort of cooking in their life

for the people who have. Okay. And looks like everyone in here feels confident. We have a lot of chefs in this room. I'm just going with what my current oven does. Yeah, same, which I hope it's. But, yeah, Phil, along those lines, I always like it, too. Sometimes you'll be on a hunting trip, and you have to hit the grocery store before you hit the woods. And you walk in those front doors, and a couple of people, this is usually a group of guys,

a couple of people know right where to go and start get to business and then there's a couple dudes that are standing there like deer in the headlights like what is this place they go to the beer aisle first one of my favorite kinds of people watching to do is uh costco around this time of year when college kids are coming back into town and you'll see just like groups of four or five dudes like wandering through Costco. Tons of cereal. Completely lost. But they've got like three cases of Coors in their cart. Yeah. Again, this is question nine. According

to The Atlantic, this is the default temperature that most American ovens go to when you start them. Is everybody ready? Oh, I can't decide. Randall, this is your last chance to change your answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Seth and Chili saying 350. Randall says 275. Colin, 350. Oh, I misunderstood the question. Marge, 225. Giannis, 175. Brody saying 350. Oh, I misunderstood the question. Marge, 225. Yannis, 175. Brody saying 350. The correct answer is 350 degrees.

About half of the room got that one right. Now, Yanni, what did you think I was asking? I bet you I know because I wrote the same thing down first. Were you thinking the minimum temperature? Yeah. The default temperature when you hit the bake button on your oven, what does it automatically go to?

I don't have a bake button. What do you have? I have an old die. Oh, a die. Sorry, Marge. According to Taste of Home magazine, 350 degrees is the most popular baking temperature, which is why American ovens default to that temp when you start them. This is because a chemical reaction happens around 300 degrees, where food undergoes the browning effect.

By cooking at 350 degrees, it ensures that your food will achieve that without overdoing it. Phil, we have one question left. Who remains in the game? Oh, let's see. Well, it's down to Brody and Seth. Brody has seven points and Seth's hot on his tail with six. Going into question 10, we would need Brody to get this wrong and Seth to get this right. We also need Chili to get this wrong and Randall to get this right. And here is a here is perhaps more importantly

here is a correct answer overview for folks at home question one was 85 two rage three texas four transducer five cumin six wd-40 seven dumb and dumb and Dumber. 8. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah. And number 9 was 350 degrees. Question 10. The topic is hunting. What animal has a minimum Pope and Young score of 18 and Boone and Crockett score of 20. What animal has a minimum Pope and Young score of 18 and Boone and Crockett score of 20?

Again, we would need Brody to get this wrong, who already has an answer, and Seth to get this right, who does not have an answer. Brody is also chasing the Shelby Index. index yes seven correct answers still my buddy index was eight jelly do you have this one right I think he does

I think I think I do I think it yeah I watch watching yeah watching actually I won't give any hints but but. Oh, wow. Learned it. Learned it from somewhere. Oh, I thought you were going to say you were watching my pen. No, no, no. All right. No.

I do believe in if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, but not this round. Honest round. First time I've heard that saying before. I'm going to meet Hunter Spencer, so this means nothing to me. That's a good answer, Seth. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying pronghorn.

Chili says sickened deer. Randall, black bear. That makes sense. Colin, mountain goat. Marge, mountain goat. Giannis, black bear. Brody, black bear, Brody, black bear.

The correct answer is black bear. Brody got it right, giving him the two-point victory. A black bear is scored using two measurements. Those are the length from the back of the skull to the nose and the length from cheek to cheek.

To see an official measure, do it with calipers. Go watch Clay Newcomb's video on TheMeatEater.com called How to Score a Bear Skull. Brody is our winner with eight correct answers. Brody, that means you get to choose where the $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. What's it going to be? It's been a little while, but now all these crazy people are back at trying to sell off public lands. Utah.

Do you see what they're doing in Florida? Trying to turn state parks into golf courses and hotels. Evil golfers, man. Yeah, they're coming for your public lands things a issue in the montana senate race anyway i'm donating to national wildlife federation because not only do they do a lot of good habits at work they also fight that public land sell-off and transfer bullshit five hundred dollars going their way via brody and meat eater can chili and i play tiebreaker we're not going to do that.
