And remember, it's live, so anything can happen. Well, almost anything. 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 Yanis, Brody, Marge, Max, Randall, Sam, Corinne, and Seth.

This is normally a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, but today's show is a little bit different. This is our annual Family Feud Christmas episode of Meat Eater Trivia. Backed by popular demand. Well, we'll get to that later. Now some of our players turn into Scrooge when we play Family Feud.

Steve has been especially vocal about it. Here's him bringing the holiday cheer to the Family Feud Christmas episode in 2022. Play the clip, Phil. Show me me Jesus. Not on there. Man, more on Christmas. Here's the whole thing though.

What's up? Like who cares about these hundred people? I don't know what kind of idiots they're asking. Do you solve all your problems by just randomly asking people what they think? It's called voting. Totally uncredentialed strangers what they think it's called voting listen to the question you said what do you need to wrap a present so it's like you're implying like that there's a present if you said what do I need to

dress a person you wouldn't go a person? The subject of these surveys were vetted in some way or another this would be like a completely different process Take the seven holes take their pulse And then ask them Steve you can just sit it out next year if you like Dude there's no way in hell I'm playing that next year. I have to know who the 100 people are. Now we convinced Steve. He's got good points. We should really have more playoff music for Steve. Just like what he's doing. Start playing the Oscar music. We convinced him to play in 2023, but we couldn't get him here today in 2024. For the stat of the week this week,

we're looking at the results of a survey from our listeners. Steve's annual complaining made me second guess if this is good content. So I asked our listeners if for Christmas they'd rather have a regular episode of Meat Eater Trivia or Meat Eater Family Feud. What do you guys think the results were? Family Feud.

Family Feud. Considering we're sitting here. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Here's how much they like it. 92% of listeners said they'd rather have family feud than a regular episode of trivia for the Christmas show. Sorry Steve and Brody and all the family feud haters, but the Christmas family feud is here to stay. You're throwing him under the bus! Yeah man, what a hateful...

I feel like I'll go back and re-listen. He's got his elf ears on. He's here. Yes. I would categorize Brody as a hater. Show me some evidence. I think I won this thing last time. Oh, all right.

Hey, I'll gladly be wrong. Here's your crickets now. I'm excited to hear that you're excited. I've had no fear bullying for one year. I'm excited that you're excited. I wore a hat for Christ's sake. Now here's how this is going to work. Our crew is split up into two teams. Each round will start with a player from each team facing off to determine who gets control of the board.

During the face off, whoever provides the highest ranking answer will get to choose if their team passes or plays. During main play, each team member will provide answers they think are on the board. If you get one wrong, you'll hear this. If you get one right, you'll hear this. If you get three strikes, then the other team gets a chance to steal. When a steal happens, the entire team gets to come together to decide on an answer, which their captain will provide. There are four rounds, with the point values being doubled in round 3 and tripled in round 4. The team with the most points at the end will get to choose where the $500 conservation

donation goes. Then they will play fast money for a chance to double the donation for a $1,000 grand prize these are questions that were written by me and answered by 100 listeners each question has themes of meat-eater and Christmas so they've been vetted as meat-eater fans right you guys minimum you can complain about the answers But then you're complaining about the people who are listening to this show We do that all the time Okay Spencer can I can I make a request for next year's family can fill instead of those those noises for right and wrong Can we incorporate some like wildlife or fart noises? Yeah?

Arkin when you get one wrong. You know what I like? I like a turkey gobble when you get one wrong. Or just clips of Steve going like, no, no, no, no, no. Mm-hmm. Brody, really in the Christmas spirit. I like this Brody. I bet Phil can make that happen next year.

Is that right, Phil? Yeah, yeah, of course. I got kids, man. It's been Christmas for a couple weeks already. Now to remind everyone of how this is going to work, we're going to do a practice face-off where it's Yanis versus Randall. They each have a bell in front of them. This round does not count. We're just going to make sure everyone knows the flow of the show. Are you both ready? Yes.

I surveyed 100 people. Top five answers are on the the board if Seth and Chester were wise men What gifts would they bring we have Randall? Beer show me beer Number four answer so what that means since Randall provided the number four answer Yanni has a chance to provide the top three So you pick your answer and if it's one of those top three you get to choose if your team is going to play or Pass, but this is just practice. This is just a practice. Yeah, I'm gonna go you ready for my I'm ready fishin lures Show me

fishing lures. Number two answer goes to Yanni's team. What would happen next Yanni is you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play. If you're confident that you and your three teammates could do well in this category then you might want to play but if you think Randall and his team would really fail then maybe you pass it to them. By do well you mean fill in all the blanks. That's right, get all five correct answers before accumulating your three steals. We're not gonna play out the rest of this round

because this is a question from last year, but does anyone wanna throw out there what they think one three or five is? Walleye fillets. Walleye, show me walleye fillets. That's number one, now we're looking for three or five. Woah! Seth knows himself! What an interesting twist. If Seth and Chester were wise men, what gifts would they bring? Throw out some answers. Ooh, maybe a...

Music or a musical instrument? Show me music. No, that's one strike. Keep giving us answers. What else you got? A boat. A boat. show me boat Two strikes Any more guesses if Seth and Chester were wise men what gifts would they bring ammunition show me ammo That is strikes the room couldn't finish the board if I was wise man, I brought all that shit

Phil show me number three Three strikes, the room couldn't finish the board. If I was a wise man, I'd have brought all that shit. Yeah, see? Phil, show me number three. Bait. Show us number five. Canned food. That answer's insane. No one's getting that one. Listen, this was a practice round.

We don't have to get worked up quite yet. Now traditionally in family feud we have one player who introduces their family. So let's get to know our teams. Randall, tell us about who you brought with you today. Well I have nephew Seth. Oh nephew Seth. He's an upstanding healthy young man, and I have a lot of While he's visiting from out of town. I have a lot of tasks around the house that I'd like him to help with Do you get along with his parents? Oh, yeah? Yeah, but you know just to just a stand-up guy

We're all excited for his future Working on a forestry degree I heard yeah, I can't say enough good things about this guy. He's just a real, you know. Thanks, Honk. Yeah. Appreciate you. Who else is on your team? Well, in that second chair, we were supposed to have the curmudgeonly hard of hearing uncle

who we weren't sure was going to show up to Christmas. That would be Uncle Cal. You never know this time of year what he's up to. Probably he'd rather be bird hunting than spending time with the family at the holidays. But that's right. 17 minutes before we were going to record today's show, Uncle Cal sent a text saying he couldn't make it. So instead of Uncle Cal we have Aunt Sam and thankfully Aunt Sam is always welcome around the holidays because she's an expert baker oh and she's the consummate host. What's your specialty Aunt Sam? I really love cookies and I love pecan pie but I can make anything. Okay. Yep, that's the confidence we need going into this contest.

I'm not confident, so I'm not confident about this. And who's the last player you brought with you today? We have Aunt Corinne. She's always fun, but we're never sure what exactly she's gonna be contributing to the Christmas dinner table. Okay. It could be Stingray cutlets,

or the pecker bone of some unknown animal. Uh-huh. So we're excited to see her but we're not quite sure how to politely decline whatever... It's not a potluck. Whatever experimental dish she's brought. Now we have two aunts and a nephew. Are one of these the parents of your nephew? No, I didn't want to make anybody directly related or one another. That makes things weird. So, if Yanis introduces someone as his son, or his... yeah. And going against them is the Putellas family.

Yanis, tell us about who you brought with you today. Well, Spencer, I brought with me my A-Team. I just want you to know that hunting and fishing traditions run deep in this family. OK, good. So I brought my older cousin Brody, who's my medium to large game specialist. And then my younger cousin, Max, here, who's my waterfowl and small game specialist.

And then my female cousin, Marge, down there, and she's my fishing specialist. As we all know, cousins are divided into two categories. Cousins and female cousins. I only have one. Alright, is everyone ready to play the feud? Let's do it! Hit the music, Phil! Now this is where you clap. There we go!

Look at this sweat people rhythm we got going on. I think we're speeding up. Alright, going against each other first will be the head of the family over here, Randall versus the head of the family over here, Yannis. Whoever rings in first will get to provide the answer and if you ring in before I finish reading the question I will stop right there, you don't get to hear the rest of the question. Is everybody ready? Let's go Yanni.

I surveyed 100 people, top 6 answers are on the board. If you were hunting reindeer, what calib- Randall. Six-five Creedmoor. Show me! Six-five Creedmoor. Now the entire question is, if you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry? Yanni, you get to provide an answer now because Randall provided the sixth answer on? The board out of a potential of six correct answers if you can provide one of the five You get to choose if your team is going to pass your play. What is your answer?

I'm gonna go with the old 30-06 Spencer if a brand if Yanni was hunting reindeer He would bring a 30-06d-6 Springfield. Show me 30-odd-6! Number two answer on the board that means you have control of the game Yanni. Are you going to play with your team or are you going to pass it to the other team? I can feel the vibe we're gonna play! Okay, Yanni's team is going to clap, family. So, as a reminder, we have six answers on the board. Number two was said by Yannis, the 30-odd-6 Springfield. Number six was said by Randall, the 6.5 Creedmoor. Again, if you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry?

Brody? 270 Winchester. Show me. carry Brody? 270 Winchester show me 270 Winchester the number four answer 11 people said the 270 Winchester No, you can't talk All four of you talking the show all four of you are playing on your own right now Randall's team gets a chance to steal they all get to come together To provide an answer so for now a good one now the patella's family, but you need

She's so into fish and on to our waterfowl hunting cousin and our fishing cousin max Or just throw it like just give a bad answer you get bad answers and then let them film yeah well no we have three strikes to work they only have to get I thought there's a lot of talking for no talking aloud during the segment all right let's let's level set here on the rules the team who was playing they are only playing by themselves at this point you guys do not get to communicate with each other if you don't fill out the board if you get three strikes before you get all six correct answers,

the other family, which would be Randall's family, gets to come together, and if they provide just one correct answer, they steal all the points for that game. So we are now down to Max. Max, if you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry? We have three of the six answers taken the the answers remaining are one three and five

Maxwell I Don't know if I have one answer Name a cartridge name a right no Can't do it Running out of time. Let's 223 show me 223 show me 223 they're soft body that is your first strike we are now down to Marge the women fishing cousin wait so they don't hear Marge a 20 gauge shotgun show me 20 gauge shotgun I could kill a reindeer that is two strikes for the Yanis Putalus family so

far they have provided the second answer which 24 people said that was the 30 odd six Springfield they provided the fourth answer which 11 people said that was the 30 odd 6 Springfield they provided the fourth answer which 11 people said that was the 270 Winchester and they provided the sixth answer which five people said that was the 6.5 Creedmoor Yannis if you were hunting reindeer what caliber rifle would you carry? 7 millimeter Remmag Show me 7mm Remmington Mag Number 5 answer 10 people gave that answer that means they have answers 1 and 3 still left on the board We're up to Brody they have 2 strikes Show me 308 Winchester

Number 1 answer 31 people said the 308 Winchester Number one answer 31 P. I got it said the 308 Winchester that means we are just missing Max where you got your team has one correct answer left and one strike left You're either going to win it or pass it over to the random. Max, remember you have a reputation as an accused, alleged cheater. I understand that. If you go with the answer that Janis just told you, that baggage will carry with you into the news. That alleged will go to confirm. And, I'm Jesus' birthday, Max.

Hear me out. I think He mouthed 308 to me. Okay, I'm gonna go with a 243 Show me. Oh, I get all the marbles the 243 He moved his mouse over the correct answer and then went to the X what What a dick. That gives them three strikes That means Randall's family gets a chance to steal. That was a good answer. They get to talk amongst each other what they think it might be. I'm gonna remind our audience of what is going on here. Auntie Corinne, Auntie Sam. We're gonna go with three. We have top, the top six answers on the board. If you were hunting reindeer What caliber rifle would you carry number one was?

Number two answer, 30 people said butcher paper That means that there is one large answered left on the board your team has zero strikes We're at the head of the family Yannis who tell us if Steve didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags What might he use? If they find out you're my daughter then things might get complicated.

They're a little Maury Povich. What else would Steve use to wrap?

How about a tarp? Show me? I like it. Tarp! Two

Strikes! We are to Max who's in the same position as last time. He can get it right to take all the points or he can get it wrong to give Randall's team a chance to steal. Here's a recap. If Steve Rinella didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags, what might he use? Number one, animal hides. Number two, butcher or freezer paper. Number three, game bags.

Let's hear you discuss this allowed Whisper let's hear you discuss this allowed Well, I think usually they're whispering about this team is playing Yeah, they usually have the team whisper when the other team is on their last chance so like if they have to strike Louder louder Corrine, what do you think it is? we're going through fishing nets something from a creature?

Shrimp pots Cooler I don't Didn't have wrapping Pretty good shrimp. What is might you could actually gift just in there if? Randall can get this correct. Maybe crap on his team will have 200 points Alright Randall Williams team we need an answer from you. We're looking for answer number four. We're gonna go with vacuum seal bags Mmm. That's a good one. Show me. It would have been better vacuum seal bags

Meaning that the putellus family will get 93. Any other guesses for what answer four could be? Steve just won rabbit. That is not correct. Are there any other guesses? Cooler fishing line? No, no. Really? Yanni was closest with his natural materials guess earlier, if that helps you guys out.

Mud? No. Seaweed. Show us answer number four! Caulfat or organs? Mud? No. Seaweed. Show us answer number four. Caulfat or organs. So if you said organs, we'd have given that to you. You're probably right. I love how this shows what our fans think of Steve.

All right, Phil, give us some music here. Oh, sure. Before we move into round three Sorry, I lost my mouse. I've got a lot of monitors you practice We're on to round three The point values are going to be doubled and Right now we have the randall Williams family with 100 points and the Yanis Poutelis family with 93 points. We were on round two and it was less points? How's that?

Because you didn't get Caulfat, which was worth seven total points. So your team got everything minus that. 100 to 93. We're on to round three. This will be Aunt Sam versus younger cousin Max. I surveyed 100 people, top six answers are on the board. If Randall was Santa,

what would you leave him instead of... Sam. What's the rest of the question? Hot dogs. Show me. Hot dogs. That's a great answer. That is the number three answer.

That would have been number one. Here's the full question for Max, who has a chance to take control of the board. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him instead of milk and cookies? We're looking for answers one or two. I would probably leave him a book. Show me! I like it. Book!

Number five answer was book. We had six people say book and 21 people say hot dogs. That means Sam, you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play. You guys have yet to have a chance. They're going to play. Didn't need to twist her arm. This is gonna be a revealing category. For who?

Our listeners or you? For me. Okay. Hopefully number one isn't poison. All right, we are down to Aunt Corinne. I surveyed 100 people. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him? Instead of milk and cookies, we have answered number three,

Lakes lots of water Montana there's trout fishing Randall who was on Was not extended to us the other team has said Colorado I've heard Yanni's team say Mississippi, Minnesota, North Carolina. I like North Carolina.

I'd say Minnesota. If your team gets this correct, Yanni, you guys win and move on to Fastest. California. California. The most... Yeah, but a fish shack? I would do somewhere in the Northwoods. But if you get.

That's a place where people have fish. We've got two possibilities. I think that's Minnesota. Randall, or excuse me, Yanni, what are we down to? What two states have you narrowed it down to? We have narrowed it down to Minnesota is our final answer. Minnesota is your final answer. If you get this right, your team wins.

If you get this wrong, your team loses. Come on. The whole game on the whole game the whole Entire game everything is riding on this problem I have with this game because it always just rides on this last round. You don't know if you won or not if Santa gave you More fun if you want rounds counted for Santa gave you a fish shack what state would you want to do? Come on, your answer Yanni is Minnesota show me We got Minnesota

Girl cousin March from Minnesota said Minnesota and got that one right they take the whole game That means we have just answer number eight left. What do you guys think it is? Shout it out with Carolina? Montana Good answer Randall. Thank you said a good place to have a perfect Good answer Randall. Thank you said a good place to have a bunch of more packed Sometimes when it comes to your personal fitness goals, you just need a plan Peloton can give you the plan Absolutely, and Steve you've got a Peloton.

So, Yanni, your team has secured the $500. It sucks for back socks. Your team has secured the $500 donation, but you get a chance to double that with fast money two of you

Will play fast money. Who do you want it to be who wants to play? Yannis is going Does not Yannis will be one of the players. I have to be one of the players We're going to make you be one of the places like you ask a question. I'll explain it Here's how fast money works two players from the winning team will compete in this round. I'll ask you five questions that you need to answer as quickly as possible. Just like in the regular round, I surveyed 100 media listeners for these questions. The player who goes first will get 15 seconds.

The player who goes second will get 20 seconds. If the second player repeats an answer that the first player said, they'll be told to try again. Your goal is to get 200 combined points. If you do that, then the donation will go from $500 to $1,000. Last year, the winning team beat Fast Money with a score of 212 points. Again, your goal is 200 points. Yanni, who's going to compete from your team besides you? Max I'll play but I don't have to give give give the kid a shot. All right We're going with the waterfowl specialist. Okay

I'll tell you this Mac said he loves family feud before we turned on the mics today I do like family feud besides Steven Ronella and Brody The next decision you make Yanni is who's going to go first and who's going to go second I would say the second position is tougher Right, do you want to take the tougher? Doesn't matter. It's up to you Let Max be the hero. Oh wants it. Oh he wants it Leave the room boy Max Riva is going to come get you once we are done with Yanni go all the way under the hallway go two doors away from

Yeah, just go to chili's office. I just have one request for next year two. Sorry. I just thought of another one Uh-huh that we could have the first rounds matter a little bit more. You could just adjust the rules and that we have some eggnog here for the Christmas spirit. I'd say the first rounds did matter because if the Williams family didn't win that first round We wouldn't have even had a fourth round. Oh, your team just would have had all the points at that point So it did matter. So we could have pulverized them round. Oh your team just would have had all the points at that point So it did matter So we could have polarized them more than we did could have taken every point available in the game But she didn't okay, so that fourth round next year

Let's put a little calcutta on it and like this say okay that we have to go to champions Afterwards and the losing team buys beers sure yeah eggnog Calcutta, duck and turkey noises and out calls that was requested by Brody. You writing all this down, Phil? Yeah, definitely. Also on that note, I just want to say, the audience at home probably didn't realize this, I apologize to the Williams family for going to the judge

on the trivia thing and that kind of gave them the crossword puzzle hint. But for the first question, hold on, for the first question I switched to the slide before Spencer finished reading the question and Randall was able to read it and that's why he dinged in before Spencer. But the question began if you were hunting reindeer. What would you wear? What time of the year would it be? Uh-huh., so Yanni. I'm going to read you five questions Thanks for all your support Your timer starts after I finish reading the first question

You'll answer as fast as possible if you get stuck on one you can say pass and we will come back to that at the end Okay, but that usually doesn't work out really well for people So I got a blurt stuff out maybe just do your best to give an answer right away We have the timer sitting between us here. This was fun until now now. I feel He's wearing a Santa coat With a base layer will base layer on underneath it. It's getting hot and a pair of ribbon tassels He's provided all the excuses for why this may not go. Let's go

Alright your time starts when I finish reading the first question. If a hunter wrote the 12 days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about? Geese. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? Spencer. Name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas. Hunt. If Clay was Santa, what animal would pull his sleigh?

Bear. Name a gift every fisherman would want. Soft plastic. He got it just in time. He got all of his answers he needed. So we're now going to take a look at the board and see how you did. Phil, any questions before we start looking at these? I'm foregoing graphics this year because it took so long this year, so I'm just adding them up now and I believe I have the total score he has, but we don't have graphics this year. Okay. How do you guys feel I did?

Pretty good. I feel like there's only one answer for the clay. Yeah, the last answer was weak. Yeah. I would have gone with Steve for the naughty list. Yeah. Yeah. But, leaving that for my partner. There you go. That's a decent strategy Okay, so we're gonna see how many points you got for question one if a hunter wrote the 12 days of Christmas

What birds would they sing about? See surveys or Yanni says geese survey says Yanni says geese. Survey says... Seven people. Seven people said geese. Question two. No, not yet. Not yet. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? You said... Spencer. Survey says... Twelve. Twelve people said Spencer. Survey says 12 12 people

Spencer name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas Day remind me of what your answer was hunt Yeah, this family is doing Yanni says hunt survey says Number one answer 28 people said they're gonna hunt as an outdoor activity on Christmas Day if clay was Santa what animal would pull his sleigh what was your answer bar 82 Yanni says bear number two answer survey says bear get 31 people said bear that is not the number one answer and finally name a gift every fisherman would want You said soft plastics

survey says 19 people said fishing tackle which we're gonna give you fishing tackle. So how many points did he get Phil? 99 points 99 points. 99 points. That means, Steve, will you go get Maxwell? Your team has a little work to do, but you pulled- He needs 101? He needs 101 points to double the donation. As long as he can say Steven Ronella.

Don't, no, no, no. For that answer. We can't help him out. No, I know. Boy, there's a real recurring theme here with just getting right up to the line competitive dishonesty

Maxwell, are you talking shit about me now? Have a fun time Randall Don't get timed out on this thing How do you think your partner did if you had to guess? I don't know what the questions were so Well your team needs 200 points What do you think Yanni got? He probably got I don't know what the questions were so. Well your team needs 200 points. What do you think Yanni got? He probably got, I don't know, buck 25.

He got 99 points. Oh, that's not bad. There are 101 points that you need to come up with. I mean there's a couple top answers that he didn't get. I'm not gonna tell you anything. He is a real family feud player. Yeah. No, I didn't see him like this.

Mm-hmm, he knows what's going on. So Maxwell, you have 20 seconds. If you repeat one of Yanni's answers, I will tell you to try again. You have 20 seconds to finish the survey. Your timer starts when I finish reading the first question. How many questions are there? Five questions. Okay.

Are you ready? Yeah. If a hunter wrote the 12 days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about? Goose, mallard. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? Probably Steve. Name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas. Hunt. If Clay was, repeat. Skate. If Clay was Santa, what animal would pull a sleigh? A black bear. Repeat. Tim, his squirrel dog. Name a gift every fisherman would want? A boat. Boat, that is good. Nice, nice. There was some emotion in that last one. I was trying to get it in. A boat? Did he make it in time? That's what I would want. He finished just in time and for number one you said goose which was a repeat. I didn't have a chance to tell you a repeat.

And then you said duck. So duck will be your answer for number one. Alright your team needs 101 points. I think we got this buddy. Those are solid answers. If a hunter wrote the 12 days of Christmas what birds would they sing about Maxwell? Well, you said birds so I thought it was multiple so I just ran below max well said duck survey says Number one answer 31 Said duck no said Ducks. Nope. Randal has encouraged his team to not clap for Yanni's team.

Question two. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? I've moved on to next Christmas. You said Steve. That's the number one answer. Nice! 64 people! I said Spencer. That's a good one. Question number three, name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas day.

You said... Skating. Survey says... Zero people. I thought we were going to count number three for that, Spencer. I think we need a little drama. How many points does this team have? I mean, do you want me to spoil it for you? I thought we were gonna count number three for that Spencer. I think we need a little drama Okay, how many points does this team have? I mean do you want me to spoil it for you?

How many points does this team have? We need like 10 points. Do you mean do you mean like for fast money? For fast money? Yeah, we're gonna give that away 263 So we're good. They have 263 points. Heck yeah, we do. No, they can't because they got 31 and then 64. No, Spencer, that's why I said right now That's the total that they have. Sorry, I spoiled the game. They win. They win. They did it. Yeah I'm confused The total of Yannis, because I have the total right here of Yannis and Max of the entire, all five questions Uh-huh. Oh, no, no, I meant so far. Okay, well, yeah, you didn't specify.

Leap that out, leap that out, Phil. Your team wins! You got all the points. Woo! I was talking about so far, sorry, Phil. No, I just, I just heard how good his answers were. You know what, Spencer? We'll do graphics next year.

I thought we needed 200 points, and if I didn't add up to 200 points. Number three, you said skate. We're gonna give you zero for that. Number four you said dogs would pull clay slay. That was the number three answer. And for the last one name a gift every fisherman would want. You said boat. That's the number one answer. 47 people said boat. Oh, you guys crushed it. Crushed the fast money. What'd you say Rod? Soft plastic if a hunter wrote the 12 days of Christmas what birds would they sing about give us some other guesses here turkeys Turkeys was number two 22 people pheasants was number three 21 people said dogs dogs were number six five people
