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, Randall, Brody, Hansi, Alyssa, Corinne and Nate. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions for Meat Eaters 4 verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Heart and Soil, they're matching our donation

at the end of the game. Thanks to Heart and Soil, the winner will make a $1,000 conservation donation today. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 9. That's how many days you have to make an order from the Meat Eater store to guarantee delivery by Christmas. So if Santa is giving the gift of Meat Eater Trivia this year, he needs to place his order with us by December 13th. We still have limited stock

of the OG Meat Eater Trivia board game, the hunting and fishing expansion packs, and the Meat Eater Trivia collector's editions. They are available at store.themeteater.com. And again, December 13th is the last day to order for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Are the expansion packs flying off the shelves, Spencer? Flying off the virtual shelves.

I think the only real shelves you can buy them off of is our Meteor flagship store here in Bozeman. And so far we have perfect five star reviews on the website. Well done. The OG game, we have 80 reviews for 4.97 stars I think there were two people out of the 80 who have reviewed it who gave us four stars instead of what were the complaints? I don't even remember now. I'm sure you I only take in the 78 five-star reviews those two forced gotcha gotcha Now here's our infrequently asked question segment.

If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themeedeater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Elena Brumwell wants to know, have you ever considered a Canada themed expansion pack? I'm sure there are a fair number of us Canadians who would be much better at answering questions about our own animals and agencies Well, Elena, this is a common question, but no there's not going to be a Canada themed expansion pack

We have the crossword puzzles on the meat eater comm of the 20 that I've made so far one of them was Canadian themed it was just for people from Canada who like hunting fish in there It is our least played crossword on the website them was Canadian themed. It was just for people from Canada who like hunting and fishing there. It is our least played crossword on the website. So Canada listeners, if you want to make that kind of content more in demand, then you need to go play that crossword puzzle to show me that you're out there.

And that's something you'll consume. Was that one hard, Randall? Was it take you longer than the regular American versions? I'm not sure I recall this puzzle I'll go look at what Randall's that was part of art. We did a mini crossword. Oh, yeah I used all the mini crosswords Yeah, our regular crossword puzzle is 20 clues which we do once a week But then I did five days one week of mini crosswords which were five clues each

One of them was Canada on that Canada, Randall got a score of 260, and he did that in 28 seconds. Now I know we're not talking about the regular crossword, but I I do think it's worth pointing out in the past two weeks of Set New Personal Records. I finished this week's crossword in I believe a minute and 28 seconds. Yep. Yanni's giving him a standing ovation. 395. That's without pre-reading the questions. Oh yeah. How can you even read 20 questions in that amount of time?

I mean they're not long. Let alone type them in. They're prompts. They're prompts. They're just a word or a phrase. Yeah. We told him we're going to need a drug test him with these Riani Yeah, do you do you go in rainbow cutthroat brown trout? Yeah, wow just like that you do it 40 times Drink a whole pot of coffee before no, I was actually worried because I ate I ate a An obnoxious portion of Thanksgiving leftovers immediately before that slow. Yeah, Phil saw that plate

It was absurd. It was yeah, so Randall score on the Canada Crossword It was 28 seconds on the gear one. It was 20 seconds on the national parks It was 35 seconds and on the dogs it was 31 seconds. Oh so you did well Canada was like your second strongest category. Now imagine if you're from Canada how well you do on that. Are there any are there any players out there that rival Randall's scores at all? Yeah I can see the top scores it's it's anonymous I don't see I don't think I see their username. And some people beat Randall and people leave comments too. People are often eager if they beat Randall's scores to let us know.

I didn't know that there was a 395 possible until... an audience member shared that with us. So that gave me something to shoot for. So it's like, like like James Winston says You don't shoot for the stars because there's already people on the moon That's Randall Williams All right, we have some housekeeping to get to on a previous episode of trivia We had a controversial question about Guy Fieri being the mayor of Flavortown

Guy Fieri being the mayor of Flavortown. This made Brody and Janis furious, who argued that it had nothing to do with our four verticals, but that's where they're wrong. I think everyone except Brandon was curious. Let's hear him out guys. Let's hear him out. Yeah, I need to hear out. Guy is a fanatical hunter. A 2023 Facebook post shows him hunting ducks.

A 2016 Instagram post shows him hunting ducks. A 2016 Instagram post shows him hunting bears. A 2015 Sportsman Channel episode of AVNX TV features him turkey hunting with Blake Shelton. And in a 2022 interview he said he's hunted deer, elk, antelope, pigs and bighorn sheep. In that same article he claimed elk hunting in Wyoming was one of the greatest experiences of his life and that a wild game jambalaya He made with duck venison and gator was one of his finest meals Guy loves hunting so much that he had a custom chef's coat printed in kuyu camo And he even named his firstborn son hunter So while the any honest I maintain that it was a good question.

And I'm even going to encourage Corinne. The fact that Hunt says nothing to do with it. I told that to Spencer before this recording and he just ignored me. Well, what's your problem, Brody? I think it's awesome that he's a hunter. It's got nothing to do with how that question was poorly worded.

I think that was a matter of when Steve had time to play trivia, he often had an attitude of if he got it right, it was too easy. If he got it wrong, it was too hard. And I think our players in the room were experiencing that. They didn't know that he was the mayor of Flavortown. So it was too hard of a question. Like a duly elected official of what like a municipality is how you worded it. It was very clever by me. Thank you. I want to have a bunch of made up questions about made up places and made up things next time I holler. That's what Phil's trivia is for. We have questions about movies and songs. Those are all fiction based. Good on him for being a a hunter but he ain't the mayor of any municipalities

I think now that we know he's such a fanatical hunter and and it'd be a great the mayor of flavor town should be on the meat eater podcast sometime and if you're watching on YouTube you can see a picture of him duck hunting there with his eyes closed with his eyes closed he was duck hunting there. With his eyes closed. With his eyes closed. He was duck hunting in California. Corinne, can we extend an invite to Guy Fieri's camp? I'll have to check with Steve. If I had had a few more days between that episode and this episode, I shared this with Phil as an excuse to cut my hair. I was going to dye it blonde and wear a flame shirt. You can pull it off. And a goatee.

You can do that. Just because I knew this would come up again, and so I just wanted to show up in the podcast to address this guy's very insolidated. And pierce your ears just for the bit. Yeah, yeah, next Halloween. We'll get you a flavor town apron. Mm-hmm.

We'll just make a Halloween. Printed in first light camo. Yeah, let's do it. Now the Shelby index for today is a 3.5, so our winner should get 7 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. Just tend to win everything. Game on suckers! Question one, the topic is conservation and this first great question is via Bradley Bertke. What state has the most national forests? Is it Colorado, California, Washington or Utah? The most national forests. The most in America. Or like number of them. Not number of acres, right?

Number of them. Not number of acres. Just the most national forests. What state has the most national forests? Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. Hmm. Ooh, that's a tough one, Spencer. That's why the Shelby index is a 7 today.

What state has the most National Forest? Your four choices, Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. I think everybody but Hansi and Brody has an answer. Brody, how many do you have it narrowed down to? Two. Okay. Well, I don't know if I have it narrowed down.

I've got two I'm thinking about. What state has the most national forests? Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. Hansi, are you ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Utah. Yanis says Washington. Corinne, Washington.

Randall, California. Alyssa, California. Nate put Washington, crossed out California. Brody put Washington, crossed out California. Brody put Washington crossed out Colorado. The correct answer is California, Alyssa and Randall. Got that one right. Every time there's a state question,

it's California. Alyssa and Randall, that's right. California has 20 national forests, the most in the nation. That's followed by Colorado and Oregon with 12, Idaho with 11, Montana with 10, Wyoming with 8, and New Mexico and Washington with 7. Question 2. The topic is hunting. Startin' low.

This man is the host of the hunting shows, Fresh Tracks and On Your Own Adventures. Host of the hunting shows, Fresh Tracks and On Your Own Adventures. This is question two. The topic is hunting. Yanni, Nate, Randall and Brody are all confident in their answer. Alyssa and Corinne and Hansi have not picked up their whiteboard. This man is the host of the hunting shows fresh tracks and on your own adventures One of my first jobs out of college was doing audio for fresh tracks

What what's that Corinne like an old Okay, that doesn't really help me uh-huh it's got only hunting shows I've ever watched for meat eaters okay Hansi does that help you yeah maybe maybe but I still can't think of his name he's got a grin on his face we're not gonna lob it on he's just gonna try to describe apologize for my outburst against Phil. I'll give it to you if it makes sense. Phil would have gotten this one right.

Maybe a rare question in the hunting category that he would get. This man is the host of the hunting shows, fresh tracks, and on your own adventures. Hansi is writing down a description and Yanni looking at his whiteboard says that he has it. Has everything but his name. I guess. Not gonna tell you anything else. I recorded... I thought we got to ask you questions about this.

If I recall. Is everybody ready? Oh no. The game has changed now that it's all just made up. Random things that aren't facts Yeah, made up like states with the most national forests and a real person who hosts a real show. It's everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying the dude whose office was over near Bobcat Stadium

Which is correct. Yanis says, Randy Newbird. We once named a grouse in Alaska Randy Newbird and Randy kind of took offense to it. What? I don't know. Corinne says, Are we going to count that? I don't know.

Do you know his real name? Oh, come on. He knows who it was. Corinne says Michael Waddell. Randall says Randy Newberg. Alyssa, Randy Newberg. Nate, Randy Newberg. Brody, Randy Newberg.

I was going to write this kind of code Randy, but I'm glad I didn't, since you're... The correct answer is Randy Newberg. I think we'll give it to Janis, who put Randy Newberg instead of Newberg. But do I get it too? We love joke-wrong answers on the show. So Hansi put the guy who has an office near Bobcat Stadium. Just dodging him. I give it to him.

Which we're not going to give it to him, but that's a nice level. Thanks, Ian. I recorded a podcast, his first ever podcast at that office. Oh, I think Hans, you should get it, man. Like I don't know where the guy's office is. Thanks, Brody. Randy's website describes him as being a leading advocate for self-guided hunters. Randy killed his first elk in the 1990s after six unsuccessful seasons in Montana.

He says that first dead bull was thanks to spending a summer reading Jack Ward Thomas's book called Elk of North America, which is 6,000 pages. Question three. The topic is gear. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Justin Flowers for sending this great question. Justin 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 the meat eater.com. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. Again, this is question three the topic is gear. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. The topic is gear. That's right. About half of our room has already come up with their answer. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur.

What's the longest book Brody and Randall that you guys have put together for meat eater? Do you know what the longest is? Probably the wilderness survival guide. That was a big one. Did that touch a thousand pages? No, no. Hell no. Can you imagine reading an Elk of North America book that's 6,000 pages long? How many maps are in it though? I don't know.

It doesn't matter. There's 3,000 maps. It's still a long ass book. Are they small pages? I helped put together. No, man, it's fine printing that book too. to its dance. I gotta get my hands in that bad boy I've read uh, but we put together Meteors guide to oh yeah butchering and cooking

Oh, that was two part ended up well We had to split it into two parts because it was 700 pages now No, six thousand pages though. Who's the the dear guy the old guy Val guys guys. I read his dear book That's a long one. It's a real but it's not Six how get six thousand pages. Holy cow. Can you have a question? Oh, yeah It's not a multi-volume work No, it's just like a just bound as one Yeah, it does seem like it's too much

Because I don't know it just seems like it's a is a textbook is what it is That was a quote from Randy saying that he killed his first bull thanks to reading elk of North America Which is six thousand pages long so I might I might have to fact check Yeah Might have to fact-check Yeah Again, we're on world cat. We're on question three The topic is geared the three main ingredients the library our potassium nitrate charcoal and sulfur is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying black powder Yannis gunpowder Corrine hand warmers Randall gunpowder, Corinne, hand warmers, Randall, gunpowder, Alyssa, fire starter, Nate, black powder, Brody, gunpowder. The correct answer is gunpowder.

You said black powder. We'll give that to you as well. The ingredients of gunpowder have remained unchanged for about a thousand years, but the ratio has taken some perfecting. The modern formula, which is about 10% sulfur, 15% charcoal, and 75% potassium nitrate, has been used since the 13th century. Question 4. The topic is cooking our golly defines this term as quote when meat rots from the bone outward Who or what is our golly you don't know what our golly is our golly game bags

Oh that that company yeah, I think we had one of their employees sitting here about the owner ago Oh the owner. Brad Brooks, 41 years old. That is what our golly is. But it doesn't look like it's introduced as a company. Yeah, just another kind of a, you know, I wouldn't say. I think this is a great question. Our golly defines this term as quote, when meat rots from the bone outward. Is anybody confident in their answer?

No. No. Brody's putting Marker to board. I have an answer. Oh, Hans is confident. But I don't know, I mean, I'm not confident it's correct, but I'm confident that it could be possible. Argolli defines this term as

when meat rots from the bone outward. This isn't just in our golly term either you know it's not like no I've heard it before. So do you have the right answer? Well'll find out. Okay. Gotta get them animal skinned and cooled down. I'm gonna go try to find the page count for Elk of North America. And that is- Bezos, I'll tell ya. By Jack Ward Thomas.

Is there any chance it's 6,000 pages? That seems insane. I think that would be like a book can't be 6,000. That seems insane. Yeah, I'm gonna go closer to 1,000. How about 600 pages? 720 pages, according to Amazon. So where did the 6,000 number come from?

That was a quote. That was old Randy spinning his arms. He was being interviewed by outside Bozeman magazine And he said that's how I killed my first elk. I read the six thousand page book elk of North America So maybe see the inflection there Randy was uh he read it nine times and so That's how I'm gonna score my animals from now on is just take a do a times six and a half multiplier. Again, we're on question four. The topic is cooking. Our golly defines this term as when meat rots from the bone outward. Do you have an answer,

Randall? I do. Do you like your answer? I think so. Okay. I feel pretty good about it Randall Brody, Hansi, I'll feel okay. How about you Nate? No, this complete shot in the dark But I have one that's like tingling but okay back of my mind it's tingling Yeah, might get that checked out when I don't know an answer, but I think I might I sniffed Sharpie It's the Sharpie that's clear yeah it's a method is everybody ready it opens up some neural pathways yeah let's flip them over no no I need we can do ten seconds for you ten seconds by the,000 page metric and we're done a few minutes

You honest maybe he meant word no 6,000 word to be nothing that'd be like 15 pages Sorry Randy, we just called you out for that 2022 interview Yanis, okay, we're on about 30 seconds now. He's writing as soon as he's done writing. The tap is a new one. I like it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying gangrene, gangrene,

grant gangrene is Janice says composting. Karen says internal rot. Randall says bone souring. Karen says internal rot. Randall says bone souring. Alyssa rancid. Nate desiccation. Brody bone souring. The correct answer is bone sour. We had Brody and Randall. Get that one right. And Yanni, this is a term that's been used by many folks. Peterson's hunting, a lot of hunting and fishing forums, our golly who makes the game bags we all like. So have you heard of bone sour before? Never have, get on a rock slide.

Bone sour occurs when meat isn't properly cooled and bacteria spreads from the bone outward. This is most common when big games such as elk or moose are killed in hot weather Besides obviously getting the meat in a cooler some ways to prevent bone sour are by promoting airflow and deboning the meat And could it be gangrenous? No, that's different gangrene. I don't think is Is not related to bone. So gangrene is an infection. Yeah. Yeah So no, Hansi we're not to give you a point for that one.

Does that rot emanate from within the bone marrow or is it literally the flesh by the bone? No, it's just where the center of the like, hindquarters where the most heat is. Yeah, around the ball joints, there's bacteria that'll spread if it stays too warm. They say I think you need to get it below like 80 degrees in the first hour or below 45 degrees in the first 24 hours to avoid bone sour. But yeah, it's rotting from the inside out. But how we also discussed about how leaving the bone in

will help the cool air transfer to that zone because that temperature, the bone is a better conductor than the meat itself is But if you're if you're battling against like 80 degree weather, it's probably just best to not have the bone in there So what's the technical term for bone souring because I guarantee that's not the scientific term Listen, I assigned this definition to our golly and it's like I said also agreed upon by Peterson Tonning and others Question five the topic is fishing. Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures quote mimic different types of aquatic life such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs. We got no question to look at. You gotta look behind Nate's head.

I flipped that around, sorry. The TV went out. We're having technical difficulties in here. Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards, and bugs. And the room is stumped. Phil just head butted the TV and it came back on. This is question five. The topic is fishing. I'm gonna mess up the clock here for a sec but that's okay. Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic

life such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards, and bugs. Brody, how do you feel about your answer? I feel good about it. Okay, Brody, the only confident player of the seven in the room. Brody, have you ever experienced bone sour or been around someone who has? I've seen meat that's gotten a little green tinge to it

before. The first elk I killed I didn't get the hide off of the hindquarters real quick and I think I had a little bit but like it wasn't ruined. But didn't didn't Steve get some on that Washington? Yeah we lost some meat for sure but again I don't think it's the I don't think the bone has much to do with it I think that's just where it happens. Yeah, it's the middle. Yeah, it's like it's gonna be the place that cools down Slowest Yeah

I gotta think about plastic lures. Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic life such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards, and bugs. Brody, the only player to come up with an answer. Let's turn them over right now. mimic different types of aquatic life such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards, and bugs Randall now coming up with an answer no no just writing a word down that's not the answer Yanni do you have an answer now? I do I do I think there's a chance that it's correct there's a chance

is everybody ready who's gonna come up with an answer Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi without an answer. Oh, we have Yanni saying worm Corinne without an answer Randall says double twister tails Alyssa says worms Nate says worldly boys Brody says creature baits. Brody got it! The correct answer is creature baits. Creature baits are popular among bass anglers, fishing heavy cover and spawning beds. These lures are known for their unique profile that is unusually bulky with extra appendages.

Some creature baits don't mimic anything at all such as the popular zoom brush hog Which has multiple arms legs and tails Phil now has a photo of one double tails double twister table It's got double everything and that zoom brush hog is probably the most popular creature bait on the market it doesn't look like anything at all it resembles in some respects the Answer that I put down. Which was what? Double twister tails. Double twister tails, but you forgot the double legs, double arms. Well, those are incidentally. That there is a classic creature bait. Brody, have you ever used a creature bait? You know, I don't know. I don't do a lot

of like bucket-mouth bass fishing. But good on you for knowing about them. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Ugh. Corinne, I'm so sorry. You don't have any points. Uh, Hansi, you've got one. Oh boy.

Alyssa, Nate, and Janis, I'll have two points a piece. And with that Creature Bake question, Brody pulled in to tie up with Dr. Randall. They have two points a piece. And with that creature bait question, Brody pulled in to tie up with Dr. Randall. They have four points a piece. Anybody's game. Plenty. Question, question six. Corinne, I think that you'd be pulling in more of this information after all these years working here. Yeah, well, I guess I got a thick brain.

I'm just hoping Corinne makes some homemade gunpowder hand warmers. Oh yeah. It brings a man forever. Two birds. Hand to hand. Hey guys, earlier this year we launched Meat Eater Kids podcast and we made a deal where if you guys liked it and loved it and listened to it, we were going to make more and you did and we did and we're dropping a bunch new, five new Meat Eater Kids podcast episodes

starting November 25th. Again, it's a kids show. You listen to it with your kids. It occurs in three acts. There's a little history lesson or a wildlife ecology lesson. There's a animal call game that you play by listening to animal calls

and trying to guess what animals you're hearing based on some clues. And then real live kids come in the studio and play kids trivia and work together to build up a little pot of money to donate to kids focused conservation organizations. So Meat Eater Kids podcast coming back round two. Meat Eater Kids! Find Meat Eater Kids wherever you get your podcasts. Question six. The topic is biology. This next question is via Jonathan Dobbs.

Merriam-Webster defines this five letter word as quote, a major ecological community type, such as tropical rainforest, grassland or desert. This is question six, the topic is biology. Merriam-Webster defines this five-letter word as a major ecological community type, such as tropical rainforest, grassland, or desert. Brody, Randall, Hansi, Alyssa, Nate, all confident.

Yanni, who was just ribbing Corinne about not getting enough correct answers as a blank whiteboard. I think Yanni might have used up a lot of his brain power hunt white till the last month. That could be. It's a costly endeavor Yanni you got to dedicate a lot of that brain to killing those things. They're the smartest big game animal you know. That. That's a trivia fact. Again, we're on question six. The topic is biology.

Merriam-Webster defines this five-letter word as a major ecological community type such as tropical rainforest, grassland, or desert. On the subject of Corinne's wrong answer from previous question, I have a hand warmer injury currently. A hand warmer injury? Got too hot? No, my- You're not supposed to apply those things

directly to skinny people. My toes were cold, and so I took a regular hand warmer and threw it in my boot. Bunched up around my big toe, I'm about to lose that nail. Okay. My whole toe is purple.

It was one of Corinne's hand warmers though, is that what? Well, I've just been having flashbacks after seeing her answer of hand toe warmers. I can't help but think about it. Cal would tell you you got what you deserve just for using it. I know, I actually thought about that. I was on the side of the mountain this weekend

and I was thinking about Cal. His hatred for hand warmers. Yeah. Oh, I'll tell you what, an old Wisconsin man picked up a lot of them. The new trash. I love that that gas station sell them though. That's how you know you're in a good place. The gas station sells hand warmers. You get a five-letter word as a major ecological community type such as tropical rainforest, grassland, or desert. Yanni, Corinne, do you two give up? I wrote something, but I think it's wrong. Okay. Yanni is trying to look at Corinne's answer. Do you give up, Yanni? I can see it. No, I'm not going to use

her answer. He's going to come up with his own wrong answer, he says. Oh, no, you guys, I'm not gonna use your answer. He's gonna come up with his own wrong answer, he says. Oh, no, you guys, I'm not gonna hold it up. It's either a principled move or... Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying biome. Yanni without an answer. Corinne says taiga. Randall says biome.

Alyssa says ocean. Nate and Brody say biome. They got it. The correct answer is biome biome According to Nat Geo the five major types of biomes are do you guys want to take a guess? Tiga, tundra desert, tropical rainforest, grassland Grassland so you're missing two of them. Taiga. Forest, marine.

Taiga is not one. Forest is one of them. That means you're only missing one more basin. Biome. Aquatic, which I think we would say is marine. So the five major types of biomes, according to Netgeo, are aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra.

Each major biome can be broken down into more specific biomes, such as grasslands being categorized as savannas or temperate grasslands. Question 7. The topic is hunting. The National Wild Turkey Federation defines this call as quote, an alarm that usually means the bird has seen or heard something. NWTF defines this call as an alarm that usually means the bird has seen or heard something.

Hansi, I'm sorry, I missed your answer. Did you get that last one right? He got that one right. Cool. He should be the call that the first thing that comes in your mind is, damn it. That's right. This call has ruined whitetail haunts for me as well. I've had turkeys making this vocalization

and the whitetails who were like in the same wheat field became aware then as well. They recognized that that meant something important. So the whole animal kingdom will listen up when a turkey is doing this call, which is an alarm that usually means the bird has seen or heard something an animal kingdom

Come on. It's not a real animals. Don't have governments not a municipality. Yeah, it's not a polity is everybody ready now Nate Needs a second. I had a gobbler come to me making this call needs a second. I had a gobbler come to me making this call this past spring in Wisconsin. What was he doing? What were his intentions? I don't know. You don't think your ears were long? You think he was doing this call? 100%. Okay. Did you kill that gobbler? Yes. Wow. So he maybe knew you were there. He didn't have a chance in his final moments to ask him. He was from a long ways away. Wait long before I could see him.

I don't know, it was just a weird... Kill the dumb one. Weird turkey behavior. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying, Signal. Janis says,

Putt. Corinne says, Shock. Randall says, Yelp. Alyssa says shock. Randall says yelp. Alyssa says shock gobble. Nate says hooty-hoo. Brody says putt. The correct answer is putt or danger putt.

The putt can be a single or several sharp notes since this call indicates danger. It's rarely used by turkey hunters, but the NWTF says it's a good call to employ if there's a tom that you want to rate, that you want to stop or to raise its head. Phil is now going to play you 10 seconds of a putting hen. That was a pot as Brody said that can often indicate that your hunt is over with. Question 8.

The topic is conservation. A 2012 Bloomberg Business Week article describes this waterway as ground zero for Asian carp in America. A 2012 Bloomberg Business Week article describes this waterway as ground zero for Asian carp in America. That's a long time ago. That's right, but don't think it's changed? You have this one right Randall I

Think so. Did you consider putt on that last question instead of Yelp? Nope I'm not sure that I had term putt in my vocabulary not a turkey man Yeah, I am intrigued by the Hootie whoo. There's a rap song that incorporates that. Oh, yeah I think it's a Master P track Lay it down. Yeah. Am I right Phil? I'm looking for no, it's not it's outcast What no you're thinking of that? I'm unaware roses roses isn't oh good pole mate Yeah No I'm thinking of he goes so always like tight like always smoked out always

yeah saying it so flat you gotta be like who like a person authorities come in that you need to like... Like, if there's this... that's like the universal... Call. Like, watch out. Yes, it is a song by TRU, and Master P was a part of that. Wow. The only... I don't know a single song by Master P.

I only know that he had like a really cruddy reality show. On VH1 or he's a basketball player too. He got a contract with the the Hornets. I believe yeah, okay Make them say uh-huh. Oh, I do know that yeah, I feel like arenas really liked that song. Yeah mid-2000s That's the no-limit crew, isn't it? That's the no limit crew, isn't it? Phil is gonna work on finding that and I'm gonna remind you that we're on question eight the topic is conservation in 2012 Bloomberg Business Week article describes this waterway as ground zero for Asian carp in America Is everybody ready? Is there like a little like

Sneaky thing in this question Randall says no no, okay Brody says no It's everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi and Yanni and Corinne saying Mississippi River Randall says Illinois River, Alyssa and Yanni and Corinne saying Mississippi River. Randall says Illinois River, Alyssa, Pacific Ocean. Nate says Hudson, he was hoping ground zero was a hint for the locality.

Brody says Mississippi. The correct answer is the Illinois River. Randall got that one right. Son of a gun. Asian carp were first captured in the Illinois River in 1998. They got there after escaping nearby aquaculture facilities. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources,

there are more Asian carp per acre in the Illinois River than any other place on earth. The fish thrives in the waterway due to an abundance of food from farm runoff and because of a lack of natural predators. Hooty hoo! Hooty hoo! Yes. Question nine we'll get to in a second

because first Phil is going to give us a scoreboard update. There it is. I got, oh no I didn't. No, you didn't, sorry. Corinne, Hansi Janus. Just give... There it is. I got... Oh no, I didn't. No, you didn't. Sorry. Hahaha. Corinne! Hansi Janis! Just give her one kill. Okay, Corinne gets...

I'll give her three! She'll still be in the running. Hell yeah. Hahaha. It's just down to Randall and Brody. They've been playing back and forth this whole game. They've got six points tied up. Real chess match here.

Question nine. The topic is cooking this type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model oh the song is actually called Hootie Who by outcast what a pull by Yanni to know that Randall and Brody appear confident in their answer for question nine The topic is cooking this type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model Bonus points for the make no, but Nate is so confident that he could tell us what the car model is. Randall, you you wrote down an answer fast. You put your whiteboard down. You have since picked it back up and taken the cap off your marker.

Are you second guessing your answer? He is he is erasing it with his hand. Doesn't even need the racer sitting next to him. You have this one right now, Randall? I think so. This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model. Which one of those clues give it away? Is it the bean, the horse breed, or the car model?

Well, I don't think a type of bean without the car model. I mean, I think you need at least two of them. Ha ha. Is everybody ready? No Yanni do you have this one right? I also have two answers written down Okay, my second one is what I'm gonna go with Brody knew this one immediately first one to come up with an answer This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and a car model. Phil,

would you get this one right? Yeah. Phil would get this one right. That makes you feel any better, Yanni. I'm gonna show Brody now. He's now eliminated one of his answers. Oh! He flashed his whiteboard to Brody. Oh, gosh. That is no fun. You're on the right track! Brody shook his head no. I'm playing for third here. Brody shook his head no. What did he have? Civic? Nate, did you see his answer? Do you have a different answer?

Nate and Brody say Yanni is on the right track. I didn't say that. Hansi, do you give up? Yeah, I'm just writing names of beans now to try to like Give you about ten more seconds green horses Forest gum except with beans over there Hansi has quite an extensive list of beans. Maybe just circle what you think the correct one is so I can see all of your other options. Oh, well, I mean, I got more.

Oh, okay. Just pick one. Which one are you going with here? How about... He has eight beans written down? How about how about with the Eventually Hanzi says lima bean Yanni says palomino Corinne says broad Randall says pinto

Alyssa and Nate and Brody say pinto they got it the correct answer is pinto or Hansi did not have that is one of his eight beans yeah but I did have a green pole black eye. The one that used to blow up. Pinto is a Spanish word that means painted or spotted. The pinto bean is named for its mottled skin the pinto horse is named for its mottled skin, the Pinto horse is named for its flashy coat of white patches, and the Ford Pinto is named after the horse, a theme that also birthed the Ford Mustang, Bronco, and Maverick. The Ford Pinto was one of the auto industry's greatest failures due to its gas tank design that caused the car to explode from rear end collisions

You boys would have been alive during the the Ford Pinto era Oh, yeah, our neighbors across the street had one really a little kid. Did they get rid of it? I know I mean I was little little okay. I think it was like 1970 to 70 my dad Mentioning it. Yeah, I remember a few of them on the road. Yeah, I was a kid Yeah mentioning it. Yeah I remember a few of them on the roads when I was a kid. Yeah. And then they changed the design so it wouldn't explode from rearing collisions and they renamed it to the Bobcat. So they had the Ford Pinto that became the Ford Bobcat. Never heard of the Bobcat. Yeah. Here's a correct answer review so far.

Number one was California. Two, Randy Newberg. Three, gunpowder, four, bone sour, five, creature baits, six, biome, seven, putt, eight, Illinois River, nine, pinto. Before we do question 10, give us a final leaderboard update, Phil. Oh yeah, sorry. Where is it? Woo.

There we are. Randall and Brody got the pinto. They're still tied up. They've got seven points now. After that, we have Nate with four, Alissa and Yanni with three, Hansi with two. Corinne, we won't say her score. Question 10. The topic is ecology in this last question. There's a reason I skipped over everyone else.

But feel free to just throw Corinne. Nate DeClarity is playing for third place, so we want Nate to be able to secure that third place victory if it indeed happens. Uh, Corinne, think hard, you can still get one. Question 10, the topic is ecology, and this last great question is via Henry Zeekin. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the Great Plains, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Again, we have Brody and Randall.

Tied up. They both get this right or wrong, we will go to over time. Question 10. The topic is ecology. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the Great Plains, and this is according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Little shout out to our friends up north there. That's right, the IFAQ from Elena earlier.

Now shut up. Was hoping for an entire expansion pack. Sorry Elena, the best I can do is question ten in Meat Eater Trivia and a mini crossword from a month ago. But go play that mini crossword. You can play it at themedeuter.com backslash games. See if you can beat this Yankee Randall with his score of I think it was 28 seconds. And then if you give that some love, we'll have more Canadian content in the future. Do we get other folks around the globe asking for New Zealand and Australia it would be as far as international listeners Canada they're

asking are they New Zealand and Australia they also request content specific to them I've even had some Kiwis offer to write entire episodes for New Zealand that would be fun outdoor trivia those boys need to start their own podcast over there. I guess Let's do a bonus episode. Uh-huh. We can go down to Outback Steakhouse and Sit around a blooming. Do we have one in Bozeman? Yes. It was by the old office, right? Getting wrong question 10 Two for one drink special back in the day when we were guiding in Colorado. Oh, what'd you get there? Margarita? And a blooming onion. I might have already I might have already told this story, but the day that I passed my

Exams in grad school they had two-for-one beers like tall Coors Lights and I got two and they brought them out at the same time and Then they asked I drank one and they asked me if I wanted another and they brought two more out so I've pictured myself with three of the tall tall draft beers which is day you became a doc unseemly no no this was on my way to becoming a doctor sorry okay yeah yeah and you see was playing basketball on the TV I knew it was a day for me because I was at Outback Steakhouse watching the Bearcats helped Helped you become a doc. Again, question 10. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the

Great Plains. Does everybody have an answer? As a reminder, we are down to Brody and Randall who are tied up. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba. Yanni says Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia. Corinne says Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario. Randall says Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba. Alyssa, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta. Nate, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario. Brody, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.

The three provinces are Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, meaning Brody and Randall both got that one right and are going to overtime with eight correct answers. Those three provinces are known as the Prairie provinces. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the Great Plains include parts of ten states, three provinces, and one territory. They define the region's boundaries as south to the Rio Grande, north to the Mackenzie River, east to the interior lowland, and west to the Rocky Mountains.

We're going to overtime, play the drop Phil. T-t-t-t-tiebreaker! You ain't first you're last! I think just cut it at if you ain't first you're last and then like go into other stuff it's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, f*** off man. If you ain't first, you're last. And then like go into other stuff, it's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, f*** off, man.

The tie-breaking topic is cooking. How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? This is a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Randall and Brody will be declared the winner. Everyone is going to play along though, because if one of our other five players were to get this right on the nose, Mediator is going to add an extra $100 donation to the end of

the game. And as a reminder, we have a $1,000 donation today thanks to Heart and Soil matching our $500 donation. So this could be an $1,100 donation if one of our seven players nails the correct answer. How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? Brody Randall, are you boys doing some conversions or you just coming up with a good guess I'm guessing at the conversions and then extrapolating from there Brody do you have any confidence in your conversions

you know me and my son were just discussing how many we're discussing one of these conversions the other day and now I can't remember what it was mmm one of them is tricky in this whole deal because they're not all are not all even numbers exactly yeah cups to gallons I'm good mm-hmm get blow cups I'm on shaky ground I just did a bunch of this for the chili cook-off I can't remember hmm how many teaspoons did your chili blaze point to now dude cop? I put my heart and soul into that thing. What were you converting from teaspoons to cups? Oh? What was it it's all a blur okay? I can't remember we don't have any cup in our rental thing so oh There's a lot of that

Measuring broth by the teaspoon yeah, yeah Randall how do you feel about your answer well I I Started with made-up conversions then extrapolated from that and then it felt a little low so I added to that okay so pretty weak Brody do you think your son would have a shot at getting this yeah right he would yeah is this something they were learning in school or just learning at home at home okay he likes to like make muffins and shit so no no but he would remember it is everybody ready? Get a $1,000 donation is on the line today

Hansi is making a few changes. I had I'm going back to what I've teaspoons are so small. I just keep adding to my number Randall's answer is growing. Is everybody ready? Alyssa is going to make one last change. It got real big. This is for conservation Alyssa. I know. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying an even 100. Janice says 50.

Corinne says 40. Randall says 42. Alyssa agrees with Yanni and says 40. Randall says 42. Alyssa agrees with Yanni and says 50. Nate says 82. Brody says 60. My next to last answer was 60. One of you has it right on the nose.

Just one? I'm not saying, somebody, there's a right answer in here, meaning this is going to be an $1,100 donation. Jeez. All right. The correct answer is 60, making Buddy the winner. We were so close to double O. Right on the nose. There are 48 teaspoons in one cup.

You could arrive at that answer by knowing there are three teaspoons in one cup. You could arrive at that answer by knowing there are 3 teaspoons in one tablespoon That's what 16 tablespoons in one cup Brody got it right on the nose meaning we have a $1,100 donation today $500 from heart and soil $500 from meat eater for the regular game and 100 extra dollars from MeatEater for Brody getting the tie-breaking answer right on the nose. So Brody, what are we going to do with the $1,100 donation?

Let's throw 500 to the National Wild Turkey Federation and 600 to the Land Access Initiative. 500 to NWTF, 600 to the Land Access Initiative. NWTF provided us with the danger putt question earlier, which you got right and Randall got wrong. That gave you the victory in the end. I remember it so well. Randall, you don't hunt turkeys a whole lot, do you?

No. But you'll remember that now. I will. When you're out bear hunting, you hear that turkey putt, Matt, yeah. I remember the teaspoons as well. Five bucks dollars going to NWTF, $600 to the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative.
