["Meat Eater Podcast Theme Song"] Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show. Conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Yannis, Randall, Brody, Tressa,

MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner choosing for the stat of the week this week We're looking at Yanni's best and worst categories Yanni. What do you think your strength is in meat eater trivia? hunting fishing conservation cook, oh man, but it's a close tie between hunting and cooking your best category is Cooking where you get 73% of questions, correct?

That is the highest mark among all crew members 73 highest mark in cooking or highest mark in any particular cooking in cooking You're the best at answering cooking questions. Now. What do you think your weakest category is conservation? 100% your worst category is category is? Conservation, 100%. Your worst category is conservation, where you get 58% of questions correct. That is 15% worse than Randall and 9% worse than Brody. Know thyself, man. Good job. Yeah. What's with the gap in knowledge there, you think, between the cooking and conservation? Well, I don't know if I'm 100% correct on this, but I might be the only one that actually worked

in the kitchen professionally for more than six months. So that would give me the bump. And then, like I always say, I didn't get a PhD in hunting history like that guy did. And I probably just read a PhD in hunting history like that guy did And I probably just read a lot less than this guy does okay I think that that you know That's where that conservation gap comes from. Yanni's such a pro in the kitchen that he even does the thing You're supposed to do in a kitchen where you say behind you if you're like walking behind someone. So you still do that all these years

Corner, corner, corner I've watched the bear I still do that all these years Never heard corner what's that With a big tray of hot now, you know, Yanni, I don't know. Yeah, Cory says something really funny too when he comes Is it naughty? Very. We're not gonna do HR. Yeah, Christine just leave the room and then I'll say it for sure. I mean I worked in restaurants for six years so we had to get pretty clever. Yeah.

We'll find out after the mics are off and on average, Yanni gets 63% of questions correct. Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themediajr.com with the subject line IFAQ. Ben Stewart says, on one episode of trivia, it was casually mentioned that Steve and Chester once wrestled and Chester pinned him. What's the story behind that? I don't know the answer, Ben. Does anyone in here know the Chester and Steve wrestling story?

I assume someone was there. You might want to save that one for when someone says that. What's the story behind that? I don't know the answer Ben. Does anyone in here know the Chester and Steve wrestling story? I assume someone was there. You might want to have saved that one for when Steve was around Yeah, Steve is rarely around. If I had a bet on that one I would have 100% bet on Chester. Chester looks like a high school wrestler. And I would bet that Steve was like I can beat you in wrestling and then Chester whipped his ass. You guys think it was earnest wrestling that happened like they were Happens on the shoot. Uh-huh. Okay We're gonna get someone in the room to enter like I've been on enough shoots to see it's one of the first things that

We do on shoot Everybody knows that We used to just throw rocks it like cans or bottles that you know far distances And I have bets on them some people used to get into some debt man big time big like hundreds of dollars you do the Because I can hit shit with a rock. What's that thing where you like prop yourself up vertically you guys used to do to Headstands yeah, but it's like a certain kind like you had to do it a certain way against the wall Then it I can't I don't know but yeah

plank offs Competitions for doing who can do the most pull-ups on a branch All right, Ben, we'll get somebody here who can tell you about the time Steven Chester wrestled on a future episode We have some housekeeping to get to on a recent episode of trivia on a future episode. We have some housekeeping to get to on a recent episode of Trivia. We talked about Randy Newberg and how he said he read the 6,000 page Elk of North America book we debunked during that episode that it was not 6,000 pages. Listener Caleb Pinner wrote in confirming that his copy is 625 pages,

but he also shared something more interesting than that. His edition from 1982 has the price of $39.95 printed on the cover. That is an expensive book in 2024, let alone in 1982. Using an inflation calculator, that $40 book would cost $134 today. But here's another plot twist. That book currently has far more demand than supply the cheapest copy I could find is listed for $220 on Amazon. That's like if the book was new for sale in 1982 for $66 instead of $40. So if anyone take care of my copy I got at home you you genuinely have one at home

Yeah, okay. I've never read it fully of I've flipped through it quite often I've never sat I mean it's a big old textbook basically two hundred twenty dollar textbook Yeah, that you got there you could flip that for a nice little profit now. Yeah, honey Mm-hmm now I'm gonna hang on to my mother-in-law gave me that for Christmas one year Oh, well was that was that kind of an insults like he needs help or? No, it was on my list of things that I would like to receive uh-huh It's good present you look at it and see what year it is and what the price tag was I will for that year 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 answers. And with that we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop. Hold on, I got real quick one question. Do you ever get anybody that writes in and is like, guy you guys bullshit way too much I'd like you guys just to hurry up and get to the game. I try to keep it under 10 minutes so that does not happen but I think if we if we went longer if this was like a 15 minute banter up top I imagine folks would complain and that's understandable. All right, write in let us know what you think. Alright, play the drop- No, hold on.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is conservation. This first great question is via Bob Nielsen and as always it will be multiple choice. This is your worst category. In what tragic way did Aldo Leopold die? Is it, had a heart attack while fighting a grass fire,

kicked in the stomach by a neighbor's loose horse, flipped a canoe on the Mississippi on Christmas Eve, or crushed by an invasive white poplar tree he was writing about? In what tragic way did Aldo Leopold die? Here are the four choices. Had a heart attack while fighting a grass fire. Kicked in the stomach by a neighbor's loose horse. Flipped a canoe on the Mississippi on Christmas Eve. Or crushed by an invasive white poplar tree he was writing about. Randall, you know this one?

I do. This is one of those fun questions to write though. Because you start with what you know and then you come up with three equally dramatic tragic demises. My favorite board game of all time is Baldur Dash. And you basically do that in the game. The game would be like, you know, what tragic way did all the Leopold die? And then you would have all the players create a fake answer and there would be a real answer in there as well

And you're trying to bluff everyone Your game guys you played on that escalated quickly No, it's a game my kids want seems kind of cool Okay, makeup my wife usually gets me a board game or two for Christmas, so maybe it's under the tree this year. Again, your four choices for how Aldo Leopold died. Grassfire heart attack, kicked by a horse, flipped a canoe, crushed by invasive tree. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Christine saying canoe. Tressa says kicked by a horse. Matt, kicked by a horse. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying canoe. Tressa says kicked by a horse. Matt kicked by a horse. Randall grass fire heart attack. Corey flipped a canoe. Yanni says grass fire heart attack. And Brody says flipped the canoe on Christmas Eve.

The correct answer is he had a heart attack while fighting a grass fire. I got a question. Balderdash! What do you got? I got a question about this. Did the fire kill him or was he killed by a heart attack? He was killed by the heart attack. He had the heart attack while he was fighting the grass fire.

Wow. Okay. Like would he have had that heart attack anyway? I bet not I imagine it was a cause and effect like if someone had a heart attack while they were dragging a deer out of the woods that deer caused them. Did he get burned up in the fire? I don't have all those details I'll tell you what I do know. Leopold died. Leopold died on April 21st, 1948 at 61 years old. This was just one week after his manuscript for a Sand County Almanac was accepted by Oxford University. Leopold had the heart attack while helping a neighbor fight a grass fire,

collapsing less than 100 yards from where the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center stands today. So if you go to that Legacy Center, you're right near where he had that heart attack. Question two, the topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Carson Spa for sending this great question. Carson 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 themedeater.com. This beer is named after the tallest mountain in Washington. Oh, it's some good stuff too.

Now you're speaking my language, God. Okay. Corey, Randall, everyone's quick to answer. This may be a 100%er. I had a couple this past weekend. Some big beer drinkers in this room. Whenever I'm around Cal these things are always in close proximity This beer is named after the tallest mountain in Washington There have been some hints dropped if you know they serve them in the can at the bank bar in Clyde Park

Oh, oh Yanni is revisiting his answer This beer is named after the tallest mountain in Washington. Oh yeah, I'm rethinking now. Okay. Couple big mountains in Washington. Couple beers too. That's right! That's right!

How well do you know your tall mountains? Or how well do you know what Cal and Brody like to drink? Maybe I'm wrong now. or How well do you know what Cal and Brody like to drink? I forget how tall Mount Bex is Mount Bud Light well that Sierra Nevada is a tall mountain range Brody has done some writing and some racing. Mount is the axe. Is everybody right?

Ready? Everybody loves backs. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine and Tressa saying Rainier. Tressa crossed out Olympus. Matt says Rainier, Randall, Rainier, Corey and and Yannis, and Brody say Rainier, they got it. The correct answer is Rainier, that was a 100 percenter. You had me worried, it was only there for a second.

Did Cal give that answer away? No, I just kept thinking, and yeah. Did you drink that? Rainier beer was first brewed in Seattle in 1878, which is 11 years before Washington even became a state. During Prohibition, the beer had to move to California and then to Canada before returning to Washington. Mt. Rainier is 14,417 feet tall, making it the 5th tallest mountain in the lower 48.

Question 3, the topic is cooking. Delicious. Vitamin R. Vitamin R, I like that one Cory. I plan on using that, maybe this weekend even. Yeah, a lot of bartenders don't know that one. It's pretty sad. Do you know, I know about vitamin R because of Twilight.

That was Bella's dad's favorite beer. Oh, I'm sorry. This is where you are headed for the next episode of The Four Seasons. Have you been to Forks? I have not been to Forks. I have been to Forks. Yeah. My wife was a big Twilight fan.

She was the right age for that series. So we had to stop and she took a picture in front of the Welcome to Forks sign. Yeah, I went steelheading out there with a buddy and then just kind of had forgotten about Twilight. But then you get there. Yeah, you can't forget about it. You don't forget about it. I know. Question three. the topic is cooking. Zesty, sharp and tart are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as quote

having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. We had a 100 percenter. On question two, we may have a zero percenter. On question three, zesty, sharp, and tart are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. Randall, the first player to come up with an answer. Do you have this one right, Randall? It's a possibility. He's grinning. He really likes... No, no, no. That was a grimace. Oh, a grimace. I kind of had the thing at the end. Yeah, that's a grimace. Zesty, sharp, and tart are synonyms for

this five-letter word, and it's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. Use your word or powers, Yannis. Wow, yeah. That's a five-letter game, isn't it? I feel like they're reaching the end of the dictionary, so they've probably used this word at some point. Zesty, sharp, and tart are synonyms for this five-letter word.

It's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. What if the word I came up with is also a synonym? Does it have this exact? It needs to have this exact definition, which I pulled from Merriam-Webster's Thesaurus. Having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor boy I'm just trying to think of the My answers you know, the odor thing's tough. See mine is more odor specific. I would think

Do our other players give up Oh wait hold. Brody revisiting his whiteboard. Maybe I need to stop talking. Should keep the perfect game going for Randall if he's right. Zesty, sharp, and tart. Phil, would you get this one right? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Wow. There's Wow little hint and an insult It's hard sometimes It's hard for me to gauge once I've seen the answer because I like did it would I have thought of that without having? Seen it before I'd like yes Brody

You know I mean there's I think there's a lot of blank whiteboards, but you're probably the only one left They wanted more chit-chat. So let's just chit-chat for a while Yanni I just came up with a six-letter one. Oh, okay, maybe spell it wrong Brody. How many vowels does your answer have? Depends which word I circle one has one vowel one has two Okay, how many bottles does he have? One has a letter that's sometimes a vowel and sometimes not a vowel I think that's how it's... Oh yeah, I think I...

I don't want to tell how many vowels my answer has Five! It's all vowels. It's Italian. Or it's from... yeah, it doesn't have any vowels Oh god Spencer, which one should I circle? Zesty? It's all vows. It's Italian. Or it's from, yeah, it doesn't have any vows. God, Spencer, which one should I? Zesty, sharp and tart are synonyms for this five letter word that's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor.

Sticking with my first answer. It's a shockingly difficult question. Brody's not going to change his answer, but he showed me his whiteboard and I'll say that one of his answers was correct. Oh boy. I hope it was the right one or I'm gonna get real mad. Yanni, we're waiting on you.

Oh yeah, go ahead. Cory, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying tangy. Tressa says spicy. Matt says sweet. Randall says acid. Acrid. Acrid.

Courtney says zippy. Yannis says umami. Brody crossed out umami and went with tangy. The correct answer is tangy brody and Christine. Tangy flavors are often described as having a slight sourness with acidic notes. Cuisines that use a lot of tangy flavors include Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean. Some foods that are considered tangy include vinegar, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, yogurt, berries,

and citrus fruit. God, I was even thinking about sauerkraut, kimchi. I'm like, what would you call that? Tangy did not come to mind. Was your six letter word, did I, did I happen to see that you wrote down skanky? Question four the topic is natural history in what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located. Oh, yeah In what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located? Randall, you have this one right?

I do. Have you been here before? Many times. Oh wow. Yanni, do you have this one right? Good guess. Okay, Brody, are you confident? I just get it mixed up with another thing

I just like to point out that on the previous question had I not known that one of Brody's two answers was correct I've known mine was wrong when you didn't pronounce it. Yeah Whenever Spencer looks at a whiteboard and it's like he's never seen that word before it really takes the wind out of your sail Yes that word before it really takes the wind out of your sails. Yes. Again, question four, natural history. In what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located? Well, you really hit the topic, right? You hit the nail on the head with this one.

Have you been to this place, Brody? Yeah. Long time ago. OK. Giannis is now squinting, trying to think of where Brody may have been a long time ago. Anyone else been to this place? We know he was in Pennsylvania. Matt has been there. Matt, what do you remember looking at at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History?

Oh, man, without providing anything that's too... They had a really really cool Egyptian exhibit when I was there that I thought was really interesting. I was looking at your website last night. Did you eat any... Was there a non-stop flight from Bozeman to get there? Oh man, I think it might be the other one I'm thinking of. Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Is everybody ready? Yeah, no, I'm gonna switch. I'm gonna switch. Let me write down my other one Real bear he's gonna write down I think the Egyptian thing is permanent there at the museum. I was looking at their website last night They currently have a new exhibit about the mega toothed shark that I'd like to see Oh

Megalodon mega toothed. Oh, I don't think is the Megalodon. I thought that was just a pseudonym Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have saying Chicago Tressa without an answer Matt says Washington DC Randall Washington DC Corey says Chicago Oh no. Corey says Chicago. Giannis crossed out Washington D.C. and put Chicago. Brody says Washington D.C.

He got it, the correct answer is Washington D.C. The Smithsonian is the world's largest museum, education, and research complex. It was created in 1846 by the federal government, quote, for the increase and diffusion of knowledge knowledge The Institute is famous for their 17 museums the most visited of which is the National Museum of Natural History How'd it get its name? The Smithsonian yeah, I think it's named after a British person John Smith no, I think his name was Smithsonian. I mean, I think it's

Doesn't Chicago also have a really good New York City? The field, the Field Museum in Chicago and New York City has the American Museum of Natural History. Next up, question five. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Nathan Noble. What does B.C. stand for? As in a bullet, B.C.

What does BC stand for as in a bullet BC? What does BC Stand for as in a bullets BC. This is question five of the scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this There's a family of elephants in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History that that I believe we're all killed by tr oh Interesting whole family. Yeah, I could be wrong on that. That's the perfect thing to put in a museum I wonder what BC his bullet Great I bet probably not it was probably yeah

Kill one that great I bet yeah, probably not it was probably yeah Phil are you gonna be doing the scoreboard updates next week as well you look is this a one-man show next week Oh, it's gonna be a one-man show. I don't know how it's gonna go. It's mostly an exercise and masochism I'm kind of I'm willing to give it a shot fill I added that factoid and now I'm second-guessing myself Would you please look up whether there's a family of elephants killed by Theodore Roosevelt at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History sure thank you good enough all year Again question five time hunting. What does BC stand for is in a bullet? BC takes longer to write the answer than you to ask the question. There's a hint

That's a hint five of our players are very confident Two or not Are you two ready? Yeah. Christine doing some scribbling. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Christine says big caliber. Tressa says bullet cartridge. Matt and Randall and Corey and Randall and Corey and Janis and Brody say ballistic coefficient. They got it. The correct answer is ballistic coefficient. Ballistic coefficient is how you track a projectile's ability to resist air drag. Simply put, the higher the number, the faster it flies down range and the less and the less it drops. BC takes into account a bullet's weight, diameter, and shape. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a leaderboard update. Tressa is in last place with one point. Coming up next are Cory and Christine with two points a piece. Giannis Poutelis, Matt Miller have three points and tied up in first place are Brody and Randall with four points. Tracking perfectly. Anybody's game.

and this next great question is via Luke Pern. This fish, which was considered the same species as Dolly Varden until 1978 is federally listed as threatened Question six the topic is conservation this fish which was considered the same species as Dolly Varden until 1978 is federally listed as threatened You have this one right Randall I hope so okay how about you Corey got it Matt do you have a chance at getting this one right not any chance okay at all has anybody caught one of these fish I have

Brody has where an unnamed stream and In a unnamed state In a state or country After Spencer reveals the answer Do you have this one right Yanni? I'm pretty sure I do Although Roosevelt's name does not appear on the display One of the museum's most spectacular exhibits, the group of eight elephants in the

center of the Akeley Hall of African Mammals includes an elephant shot by Roosevelt in 1909 during his African expedition So it seems like only one of those elephants The details but mmm, that's fun I just take the kids there just to see that. Oh, yeah. I used to guide strictly for these fish I knew that I didn't want to put that out there. Wait a minute help some players We don't talk about it other than that though

this fish which was considered the same species as dolly varden until 1978 he's federally listed as threatened yanis revisiting his answer now based on no he wasn't guiding for my answer that's what i was worried about kore, you're a point behind Yanni. You don't need to give him too many ins. But now if it's wrong and my original one was right, because who knows? He thinks he's... No, no. You're good.

Now Randall is doing some erasing. I just, yeah. Just some cleaning. Yeah, cleaning up a little bit. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Grayling. Tressa says permit. Matt says cutthroat. Randall says char. Cory says bull trout. Yanis crossed out char and wrote down bull trout, Brody says bull trout. The correct answer is bull trout.

This side of the table got that one right. Now, Cory, how are you able to guide for these things when it's illegal to target them? There's one river in lower 48 where you can target. Oh, I know the river you're talking about. I won't mention it. Now you know. We can cut that out, right, Phil? When I was fishing for these things, I won't mention it now. You know

Fishing for these things I wasn't exactly Danily definitely wasn't targeting them. Oh, it's too funny in in and around the Rivers that they occupy you go to the fly shop, and they're like now remember don't target them And then you look at the Brad board. It's nothing but yeah people holding up giant bull trout On the stream I was fishing it was like spawning season in Montana Okay, it's not gonna give it away you didn't have to yeah it was What's there in Idaho to aren't they? West Virginia's got a couple anyway there were two bull trout researchers on the stream

I was on counting reds like spawning beds They were not pleased with us. And then they're like, you know, there's a lot of grizzly bears in here. Mm-hmm Trout were confused by anglers and biologists until Oh man. Bull trout were confused by anglers and biologists until 1978 when the Ohio State University demonstrated that they are a distinct species from Dolly Varden. They did so through genetic testing, which showed that populations in the lower 48 are different from those in Alaska. The bull trout has been listed as a threatened species since 1999 with their greatest threats

being habitat loss, climate change, non-native fish, and Brody Henderson. Corey's stream. Corey's stream. Like, I've caught like two. Corey's a guy in the people. He was on the legal stream though. Question seven.

No, I wasn't like there illegally. We get you. I'll tell you what, the first time I saw one come out of the depths I'll tell you what, the first time I saw one come out of the depths, as we were like skipping like a 10-inch rainbow across the surface to the net and all of a sudden this Leviathan comes out of the depths and takes a swipe at it. Pretty special. It's cool. And then we try to find the largest streamers we had in the boat. Brody, Brody, they are found in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon and historically in a few other states. Question seven, the topic is cooking.

Ironically, this French food that translates to fresh cream is often compared to sour cream. This is question seven. Ironically, this French food that translates to quote fresh cream is often compared to sour cream Randall and Brody quick to answer you boys have this one, right? I Believe so, but I've lost all confidence now that last question. You're like I learned this in the South Park episode. I Know what you're talking about yeah spelling counts too no it does there's a few hints regarding

spelling and Randy Marsh ironically this French food that translates to fresh cream is often compared to sour cream I think there's a first thing I know at which like spelling does count because I just saw how you honest Doing it that way so that Spencer can easily read it and pronounce it is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine and Tressa and Matt and Randall. The entire room says creme fraiche. Brody even added a diacritical mark. Everybody got it right. Karen, we need creme fraiche. Creme fraiche. Food Network describes creme fraiche as tasting rich and, look at this callback, tangy. Ooh.

It can be served in a variety of ways. Like as a topping on veggies or meat or in soups or mashed potatoes, Danielle Pruitt uses it as a spread on her venison steak sandwiches, a recipe you can get on The MeatEater.com. Question 8, the topic is wildlife and this next great question is via Jaden Paxton.

According to Audubon, juvenile bald eagles are quote, the source of many misidentifications of this other bird. Brody, Randall, Cory, Yanni, and Matt all quick to answer this. We sell one of these this weekend. Take off the juvenile? No, no. the legit the big boy He's just gonna quit now Christine is revisiting her answer have this one right? Wow, turkey.

Well, I really thought I had it right, but that does impact my ink. Randall was worried he was giving too much of a hint. I know we're getting too playful. Now he may have thrown off one of the players. According to Audubon, juvenile bald eagles are the source of many misidentifications of this other bird. I think I have had this misidentification multiple times. I don't think I've ever seen the other bird that the question is asking for. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and

reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Golden Eagle. Tressa says Vulture, Matt and Randall and Cory and Iannis and Brody saying Golden Eagle. The correct answer is Golden Eagle. You've definitely seen a Golden Eagle. Let me tell you about their populations here at the end of the factoid, which is why I'm skeptical that I've ever seen the real thing. Golden Eagles and Juvenile Bald Eagles are about the same size and color. Audubon says the bird's brown heads and birders wishful thinking cost so many misidentifications. In America, there are only 30,000 golden eagles

compared to 320,000 bald eagles. So only 30,000 of those things. We would have saw some on the lower yellow stone. I've seen 10,000 of them myself. But I'm skeptical. I'm not as willing to be like, oh yeah. We saw one. I've seen 10 for sure. Take off of a little golden. I think I have. I've seen 10,000 of them myself. But I'm skeptical. I'm not as willing to be like, oh yeah. We saw one. I've seen 10 for sure.

Take off of a fence post from like 30 yards away as we were driving. If you drove around, if you drove around in Eastern Montana right now, just driving down roads, looking for roadkill deer or elk, you'd see a golden eagle. I just assume when I'm looking at one

that I'm seeing a juvenile. Yeah, that's fair. I'm too pessimistic about it. Have some faith in yourself, Spencer. Geez. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Tristan and Christine, I think you're a little too far behind to catch up to the leaders of the pack, whom are, who are?

This NASCAR driver who was nicknamed The Intimidator was featured on RealTree's Best of Monster Bucks volumes one, three, and seven. For those of you who got it right, is it because of the nickname The Intimidator or because you remember this person

was featured on some hunting DVDs? Never seen these DVDs. Okay. I'm gonna need to wait to see the answer. Maybe I haven't, I don't know it, but I don't think I've seen them. I don't know if I'm right. The Intimidator.

The nickname. Matt, you have this one right. I think so. Okay. And you know, you put a clue up on the board. Yes, Yanis. Some people might not realize. Mm.

Ooh. Is everybody ready Yanni you give up no oh I see what you're devil's in the details Yanni oh like his number is in there Yanni Oh like his number is in there. Yeah No, I thought it was something else go ahead and reveal your answers to be very specific we have Christine Dale Earnhardt Tressa says Dale Earnhardt

She crossed out jr. Matt you says Dale Earnhardt Randall says Dale Earnhardt senior you Corey says Dale Earnhardt Randall says Dale Senior Cory says Dale Earnhardt senior Yanni Dale Earnhardt Brody Dale Earnhardt everybody got it correct Was he actually senior was it just junior Dale senior? If it was junior I would have wrote junior come on now you get it because it was so far back I'm like I'm gonna go with daddy Was that number three was in there Dale Earnhardt Jr. once told a story of his dad catching a poacher on their North Carolina farm in 1993. Senior heard a gunshot on his property, found the dead big buck, and then waited for the

poacher. When the poacher got to the deer, Earnhardt emerged from the bushes and ran the man down. When he caught him, he punched the man in the face so hard that he broke his hand. Earnhardt had to wear a cast after that, but lied about how he got it because he didn't want more people knowing about the big bucks on his farm. Dale Earnhardt Sr. Here's a correct answer review so far. Number 1. Heart Attack While Fighting a Grass Fire 2. Rainier 3. Tangy far number one heart attack while fighting a grass fire to rainier three

tangy four Washington DC five ballistic coefficient six bull trout seven creme fresh eight Golden Eagles nine Dale Earnhardt senior Phil scoreboard update one last time all right birdie is still in the lead with 8 points, but Yannis and Randall have 7 and can catch up if Brody slips. Here's question 10. The topic is fishing. Pretty greasy in here. It's icy.

Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 2024 Cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay. Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 2024 Cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay. Brody who has a one point lead was the quickest to answer Brody. Do you have this one right? Randall do you have this feeling pretty good? I don't know I I had a gut instinct and I'm just trusting it. Okay, like Dale Earnhardt senior would have done the statistic of your

Question 10 questions. I feel like majority of the time they fall under fishing. I don't think that's true. I also don't have a way of tracking it without manually going back and looking at every episode. So you can be right Cory. I'm kind of with Cory. I've noticed that too. I don't know how accurate it is. But okay. Well, and most of the time Brody's in the lead by one and it's fishing question.

Are you saying this is rigged? No, I'm just, you know, be nice to sirs like. Spencer will never rig it, my favorite. Brody's a big Bassmaster fan as we all know. Oh yeah. Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 2024 cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay. What you got?

What kind of bird is that on your hat? This? I think it's like a hun. Yeah, I think it's a. Yeah. Chucker. Chucker. Might be a chucker. Little devil bird.

I don't know. It's on the free table. So I take it. I like when your kids come into the office. It doesn't matter if it's Yanni's,dy's or Steve's they go right to the free table So whatever you guys take just make sure to not come from our house I Think that has happened to the Ronellas before I Heard Steve tell one of the kids as they were walking out the door that he just brought that in Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying tarpon. She crossed out red Tressa says bass Matt says largemouth bass Randall says snook Corey says crappie Yannis says peacock bass Brody says redfish. I like having a different answer than Brody. We have a correct answer in the room It's redfish making Brody our winner Cuz like bass guys and redfish guys like use a lot of the same shit Yeah, yeah fish a lot of the same shit. Yeah.

Fish a lot of the same ways. Friend of the show, Brandon Polenik, competed in this year's Redfish Cup. How'd he do? He got third place. But let me tell you about what else happened there. Gary Moreno and Tony Viator won the 2024 Bassmaster Redfish Cup in October, but were disqualified a month later. The anglers failed to pass a polygraph test after a competitor protested that they broke Rule 5.

Rule 5 covers the practice policies indicating the anglers were either pre-fishing Apalachicola Bay in the three weeks leading up to the tournament or they solicited information during the tournament from someone outside of the competition. As a result, the second place team, Mike Furnett and Mark Robinson, were declared the winners. Brandon Polenick's team got third place, but after the DQ, they ended up getting second. Don't we all know that polygraphs are questionable in their accuracy? I'd like that Bassmaster uses them. I think we've all moved on except for Bassmaster. I'd like they didn't have any details on their website besides saying this team broke rule five by failing this polygraph. I'd like to know what specifically happened and who ratted them out. Yeah Phil

We any final updates here Brody wins with nine points followed by Randall and Giannis with seven, Corey and Matt with six. Brody as the winner, you get to choose with a $500 donation from Mead Eater Goes. What's it going to be? In order to, in the last couple of years, there's been a bill introduced in Pennsylvania to end, to end Sunday hunting or to allow Sunday're, they have like three Sundays you're allowed to hunt now, but this blue laws. Yeah. This bill would make all, you know, every Sunday legal. Um, and it's like both times that bill has been tabled without ever being voted on. It just happened again a few days ago. So I'm going to donate the money to

Pennsylvania BHA to help them get this thing kind of across the finish line, hopefully in the next year. So hard to fathom that that still exists. Yeah, and it used to be a lot of the pushback was from the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. For various reasons, trespassing maybe was one of them, but there are like other issues. But now the Farm Bureau is on board because Pennsylvania's deer population is high and they're damaging crops and things like that. So with the Farm Bureau on board, hopefully it gets across the finish line. Well I saw some dandy bucks come out of Pennsylvania this year.

Makes you wish you could hunt on Sundays there. Brody sending $500 to the Pennsylvania BHA. And Merry Christmas everyone, this episode's coming out on Christmas Day.
