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 Brody, Randall Toney, Maggie, Max Serra, Lake Pickle, and Caitlin Lo Spinoza. Lake, what are you doing in town? First time on Trivia? Yeah, yeah, long time listener, first time participant. I'm working on a new podcast that's going to go on the grease feed mmm pretty excited about that it's gonna be called backwoods University ooh I thought we were gonna do bear grease trivia I thought that's what you were gonna I that might be more embarrassing if I didn't know some of

that I don't know we'll see what's the show about we're focusing in on like wildlife biology but also like really focusing on the influence that humans can have on wildlife and their habitat because Me and clay when we were working on some of the first episodes and just kind of storyboarding stuff out I was like man I can't hardly mention a species of wildlife or a wildlife process or anything that is not somehow Heavily influenced by humans could be positive could be negative, but it's a big part of it Okay, give me some examples of episodes that are on the docket gotcha So we've got one coming out on bison, but it's about a history on bison in the eastern United States

Oh, all right. Yeah, they need some love too man. Yeah, I got to I got to go to a spot in northern, Tennessee It's actually Dwayne Estes who was was on the podcast here, is a guy that worked with him, went to a property where they were restoring prairie and, uh, they had digitized some of the Buffalo trails from the Cumberland settlements. And there's a spot on that property where there's still a like visible bison trail. Like trees still cleared out, still a visible trail. It's super cool. Um, so doing that, doing a Bob White quail

Kind of what happened to them. Why did we used to have a lot of them and now we seemingly don't So those are some of the big ones on the bear grease feed when do these come out Monday Monday? Like this coming Monday. No, no, no, no, no, it'll be on Mondays. First one's June 9th. All right, pretty soon then. Yeah Monday? No, no, no. No, it'll be on Mondays. First one's June 9th. All right, pretty soon then. Yeah. What's gonna be your strength and your weakness, immediate or trivia? My strength is gonna be a lot of confidence. My weakness is gonna be, I'm probably not really gonna know a lot of the answers. Oh, all right. I think that's backwards from Randall. Randall's strength is he knows a lot of the answers and his weakness, sometimes he's leaking confidence. I have no faith in myself from my abilities.

Caitlin, how do you feel about your chances of media trivia? Um, you know, I'm just here for the experience, Spencer. Strength and weakness. Strength is going to be anything trapping related or weird wildlife science questions. I guess. Plants. I'm on top of it. All right. You and Lake have that category down. or weird wildlife science questions. Weird wildlife science. Plants, I'm on top of it. Alright, you and Lake have that category down. Alright, this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from MeatEaters4Verticals,

which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there's a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at the meatdeer.com with the subject line IFAQ. Amber Langley says, would love for you to feature more female trappers if you can find them. Well Amber, we have Caitlin with us today. Caitlin, how's your trapping season been? Well, over now, but I had a really awesome winter. It was kind of a record year for me.

Bobcats, coyotes, beaver. Give us the numbers on them. Let's see. 13 beaver, nine coyotes, eight bobcats, couple raccoons, couple possums. Okay, this was in Kansas? In Kansas, predominantly public land. I had a nuisance beaver job that pulled a bunch of them off

at the end there. But yeah, mostly public. So I run a super small line. So yeah, numbers are not gonna be like you would get with like a long line or anything like that. But it's a lot of work. I really enjoy it. And every catch is like a big deal for me

What was the most exciting thing you trapped? Oh gosh? I got two doubles on Bobcats, which was incredible It's the same trap. Oh, no Yeah, just like same same area really small areas I can't run more than like a dozen traps at a time, like working full time and packing in on public land. So yeah, but having those two doubles, two of them were like twin cage sets. I was after actually one cat. I didn't know there were,

I didn't know there were that many in there. And yeah, went, checked the first cage and I had the cat and I was like, oh, that must be the one. Cause it was, you know, it was a big cat. And then I went in to check the second trap and I saw the door was closed and I was like, no way. And sure enough there was another one. Same day. Same day. That's great. Yep. And Kate works with a lot of the furs herself. She made the beaver pillows that were in our auction house of Audities. I think those sold for like a thousand bucks. Oh, it was eight hundred five.

A thousand bucks. We call it a thousand bucks. Are you working on any interesting projects right now with your furs from this last trapping season? So I still have to get everything off to the tannery. Fell a little behind on that. But once everything is back, probably end of the summer, early fall, I might have enough beaver to start working on a blanket. I would really love to have a blanket. That would stay with me, but I might start, you know,

working on more to put in my shop. Definitely pillows. I love making those. There you go, Amber. A female trapper here on Meat Eater Trivia. And she's going to be on an upcoming episode of the Meat Eater podcast. Hey Spencer, I know how you like to promote the website.

She's been writing some trapping articles for Maggie on the website too. Give us an example. What kind of articles we got? Well, my first one was how running a trapline made me a better public land deer hunter. Oh. So yeah, kind of meshing. Tony Peterson needs added bias. I got to give me some traps.

Yeah, kind of meshing both worlds there. But then also some coyote trapping is everybody's, well, almost everybody in the hunting world has some kind of interaction with coyotes, whether it's just thinking of it as a predator of the prey that you're hunting or just kind of an interest in them because they're so prevalent on the landscape.

So there'll be a coyote trapping article and then kind of like a nest predator with a lot of, it's hard to talk to anybody who wants any kind of game bird without getting a comment about predators. And a lot of people are interested in trying to get into predator management. Kaitlin's articles over on themeedeater.com. We have some housekeeping today

on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about the duck that's named after its long tail feathers that make up 25% of a Drake's body length. The correct answer was what, Max? Do you want the... What was the answer? Old Squaw.

The correct answer was a northern pintail, but a few listeners wrote in to point out that long-tailed duck should also be a correct answer. They do satisfy all parts of the question. They're named after their long tail, which makes up 27 to 39% of their body length. So, if you said long-tailed duck, which is formerly known as the Old Squaw duck, then you got that one correct sweet well done Did that change the outcome of that? Nobody in the room said long-tailed duck so it only changed the outcome for our listeners at gotcha

So go back give yourself a point for that question. I think All right, the Shelby index for today is a 3.5. So our winner should get seven correct answers With that we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil! The light's not working. This is terrible. Okay, use your imagination. Usually the light flickers here. Failed us right when we have guests in town. It's on par with how my day is going, you know?

Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is hunting. This will be multiple choice and this first great question is via Matthew Stilver. Which of these states harvests the most deer? Is it Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, or South Carolina? of these states which one harvests the most deer? Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina. The room is thinking hard about this one. No quick answers, but Brody now has one. Brody, how do you feel about your answer? Meh. Okay. Of these states, which one harvests the most deer? Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina.

Maxwell do you have an answer? I do not. Okay. I think we're waiting on you. Were you right? Brody is observing. I like that answer, Max. Maggie do you have? Brody is observing. I like that answer Max. Maggie, do you have an answer?

Is it because I got it right or because I got it wrong? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Georgia. Kate says South Carolina. Lake, South Carolina. Tony, South Carolina. Maggie, Kansas. Randall, Ohio.

Max, Ohio. Brody, Ohio. Every state was represented in our room. The correct answer is Georgia. Only Sarah got that one right. According to OnX data from 2022, Georgia harvests 1.2 million deer each year. That's followed by Ohio at 800,000, South Carolina at 700,000, and Kansas at 600,000, so Georgia harvests almost as many deer as

South Carolina and Kansas combined. Question 2, the topic is fishing. Rapala says this medical instrument is quote, an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water It's a quote from Rapala They say this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water Brody Do you have this one right? I bet her Tony looks confident as well Tony. Do you have one of these in your boat? Yes, I do. Okay. Do you have one of these in your boat? Yes, I do. Okay, do you have one of these in your boat, Brody? Boat bag.

Boat bag, okay. I suppose there's one in there somewhere. Alright, Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. The room looks confident on this one. Maybe not so much Randall. Randall, do you have this one right? I've, I, I don't know. Okay. Just... whatever.

Just... oh. I'm not gonna tell you. Randall ate four hot dogs before noon today. Yeah. He ate them a certain way. I know. In like five minutes. Yeah.

Oh no. It was pretty impressive. Alex Jones, when he was at court, he gave an excuse about not remembering one of his children's birthday because he said he ate a big old bowl of chili that day His brain was in a chili fog Which Randall is experiencing the hot dog fog? Yeah Okay Next is wrote something down and erased twice now

Spencer's very lenient with spelling. We are pretty lenient. Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying forceps. Kate says hemostat. Lake and Tony saying forceps Kate says he must act Lake and Tony say

forceps Maggie says he must act Randall and Max and Brody say forceps they got it the correct answer is forceps I think they have curved blades. Oh come on give them a hemostatic Right I was gonna write down needle nose would you have accepted What guys will give you I call them hemostatic does it have a curved end on it no, there's Rapala does the Manufacturer call it that well. I don't have Rapala's brand. We used to sell them at the shop and they were labeled hemos. Did they have a curved blade on them? Some did, some didn't. You can buy them either way. We'll take either answer. Fourseps have hinged handles that control two blades or tongs. They are used in the medical field to grasp and hold objects. Anglers use them to remove

hooks from fish and sometimes themselves. Question 3. The topic is wildlife. This next great question is our listener question of the week which was won by Brendan Compton. For sending this great question, Brendan 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 TheMeatEater.com. Often used to display taxidermy in museums, this seven-letter word is defined as a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background.

Question 3. The topic is wildlife. Often used to display taxidermy in museums, this seven-letter word is defined as, quote, a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings in a painted background. Randall, our only player with an answer, Sarah as well. Sarah, you have this one right. I believe so. Randall, you have this one right.

I believe so. God, it's just like. Seven letter word, defined as a life size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background. Lake, you have an answer? I do. Do you like your answer? The letter count matches up, but that's how I think I'm confident in.

That's where I'm at too, buddy. I've heard it called that before, but I'm like, that dude, that was not technical when he called it that. I don't look. Okay, we'll see. This is question three. Often used to display taxidermy in museums,

this seven-letter word is defined as a life-size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings in a painted background. Brody is stumped. He thinks it's his humunculus knows it. Oh, I can think of as the last three letters. Okay. If I'm if it's what I'm thinking.

Tony, do you have this one right? I have no idea. I have an answer. I have an answer and I'm pretty sure it's wrong. That's right. I'm kind of leaning in that direction. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying diorama.

Cake says diorama. Lake says habitat. Tony says diorama. Maggie, display. Randall, diorama. Max says aquarium. Brody, without an answer. The correct answer is diorama. Maggie. Display. Randall. Diorama. Max says aquarium. Brody without an answer.

The correct answer is diorama. Well done, room. The first diorama depicting a natural habitat was made by painter and taxidermist Carl Ickley in 1889. It was featured in New York's American Museum of Natural History, blending artistic skill with scientific accuracy. His goal was to captivate audiences and raise awareness about the importance of habitat conservation.

Question four. The topic is conservation. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs. That was fast. I told you. Brody and Randall already have their answer. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads

downward through food webs. Spencer, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that last, two weeks ago I was at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri. Okay. Incredible dioramas. Do they? Incredible dioramas.

I bet they do them well. Was it all game animals? What did they have? Give me some examples. I mean, all types. Like, there's one room that just has every sheep and goat species from around the world on this big Mountain background up on the rocks and it progresses through like morning light

daylight Sunset no kind of dark Really just a breathtaking museum Denver's Museum their Museum museum of natural history, I think that's what it's called. They have some great dioramas as well. They have some Easter eggs in theirs. They painted in their background some trolls

that you're supposed to look for. I think each one of them has a troll somewhere painted there. So if you're at the Denver Museum of Natural History, keep your eyes peeled for those. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs. This is question four.

Is everybody ready, Max? Are you looking at me? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying, Substance. Kate says, Trophic. Lake says, Trophic. Kate says, Trophic. Lake says, Trophic. Tony says, Trophic.

Maggie and Randall say, Trophic. Max says, Common. Brody says, Trophic. The correct answer is, Trophic. Trophic cascades can occur when you add or remove a top predator from the food chain. Some examples include sea otters and kelp forests, vultures and rabies, and most famously wolves and beavers in Yellowstone National Park. Well not one debunked though. I think yeah I think there's some

disagreement and I think the the modern take is that it's it's not necessarily that cute and simple that wolves show up and then willows grow and then beavers return Round to question five the topic is hunting this next great question is via Heather Booth. I need to pick it up According to quail forever this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America This feels like a trick According to quail forever this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Tony has declared it to be a trick.

Brody has yet to write down an answer. Katelyn, I have never seen somebody write down an answer as quickly as you did for that last question. I thought that whiteboard was going to fly out of your hand. You brought it to your face so fast. I think it is a trick. According to quail forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Brody, it feels like a trick, doesn't it?

We will get a scoreboard update from Phil, the engineer. I don't want to talk about it too much though. Okay. Right. Two players are now worried. It's a trip Randall do you have an answer discussed? I have an answer, but I don't think it's a good one. Okay I only have so many quail in my brain. Also is this like as of now or historically or

According to quail forever this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America is everybody ready turns out I don't know many species go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah and Kate and Lake and Tony and Maggie and Randall saying Bob White. Max says California. Brody says Mearns. The correct answer is Bob White Quail. They're roomed in very well. I was thinking Gambles too.

Bob White Quail are found in 39 states ranging from New England to Mexico They're classified as a non migratory bird Although there is one population in the Smoky Mountains that moves from low elevation wintering habitats to high elevation breeding habitats each year Which ones are ones that was a bone for you? I could not afford to miss that one They're scaled Which ones are ones that was a bone for you? I could not afford to miss that Montezuma Their scaled blue Thinking all of Mexico in our pre-show banter we had Lake talk about the Bob White quail So that was just a coincidence would have been real bad if I'd have missed that one Phil we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

It's got a pretty good game. Oh, jeez. Max, despite your declaration that Spencer invites you every week for comic relief, that's just not true, but you do have one point in our last one. Brody, it's coming up next with two points. Not only are you bad, but you're not funny either. But he is handsome. He's trying really hard. Classically good looking.

Well dressed. Nice voice. Lake and Maggie are tied up with three points. We've got a four way tie for first currently between Sarah, Tony, Randall, and old trapper Kate. I'm rooting for ladies points. Appreciate that. You sailed beyond the horizon in search of an island scrubbed from every map.

You battled Krakens and navigated through storms. Your spade struck the lid of a long lost treasure chest. battled Kraken's and navigated through storms. Your spade struck the lid of a long lost treasure chest. While you cooked a lasagna. There's more to imagine when you listen. Discover bestselling adventure stories on Audible. Question 6. The topic is biology.

Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as, quote, a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Brody, Blake, Tony, all quick to answer this one. This is question 6. The topic is biology. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time.

Randall has now joined them with an answer. Randall, do you have this one right? Geez, I hope so, given how tight this game is, Spencer. It is tight. Four players with four points. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Handsome Maximus is struggling, though. Maximus.

It looks good doing it. I should've worn a collared shirt today. I'm gonna call you handsome Maximus from here on out. I ask you this all the time Max and I always forget the answer. Is it Maxwell, Maximus, Maximillian? What's the full name? Just Max. Just kidding, it's Maxwell. Oh, okay. I wish it was like Maximus, Premius, Promus. Yeah, just lie to us next time.

Maximus Decimus. Hatch is a synonym for this word, which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying, He be that. I had that on the... Kate says, brood. Lake says clutch.

Tony says brood. Maggie brood. Randall brood. Max yearling. Brody says clutch. The correct answer is brood. Look up clutch. Clutch of eggs? We'll see if that is defined as a group of young birds

of all ages. I thought clutch right away, and then I thought about it, and I thought it was rude. We're gonna look this up and see. We need a drum roll. See, the problem is the clutch is the eggs. Yeah, I was so confident. That's the distinction.

I think you have. A group of eggs fertilized at the same time. Nope, that's a clutch. That's the class what it says the clutches We're gonna go look you can't get negative points for that. That's why I have a brood of chickens in my garage right now Yeah, they're probably not a clutch anymore once they're bored again This was a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. I don't think we're going to give it to you if you said clutch. Animals that produce broods include birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. There are brood parasites, which are animals that trick other animals into raising their young. Some

species that use this strategy include cowbirds, black headed ducks, moco kid catfish, and cuckoo bumblebees. What's a black headed duck? Don't know, I think it's a South American thing. It's a duck with a black head. Question seven, the topic is gear. This next great question is via Frank Boda This elk call shares its name with a to live crew song This elk call shares its name with a to live crew song I don't even know who to live crew is is a hip-hop act

Yeah, what genre music are we talking? Is it hip-hop act? Yeah what genre of music are we talking? Two Live Crew. That's your only hint. Country and Western. The old Miami Hurricanes teams right? Didn't they run around with the bad boy? This Elk Call shares its name with a Two Live Crew song. I'm weirdly confident of this. Okay, Tony knows it Brody you know this one I Only know one alcohol that could know it could possibly. Okay, that's how much to live crew What's what's your Rolodex on their music? I? Mean I'm aware that they existed back in the day. All right, I couldn't tell you the name I think they were one of the groups that like Congress held hearings

I was gonna say like Profane their lyrics Whose wife Seniors wife George seniors wife was she's the one that Barbara mm-hmm was she the one that was possibly I think it was her Yeah, that'd be right. It's cuz it's like the Aren't these guys weren't they running around with like Michael Irvin and the you I don't know that you're probably right you're encouraging my answer with your comments oh yeah they were the main fixture in the Miami hip-hop scene it says everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah and Kate saying bugle.

Lake and Tony say hoochie mama. Maggie says bugle. Randall says hoochie mama. Max says cow yelp. Brody says hoochie mama. The correct answer is hoochie mama. The Primos hoochie Mama has been on the market for over 20 years.

It's so popular that I found a hunting forum post from 2005 that declared elk are getting used to its sound. Now, normally when I reference a song on the show, we play it, but Clay Newcomb would quit if I put that out over our airwaves. So you'll have to go listen to the 1995 hit Hoochie Mama on your own. On the live tour, I witnessed Randall play some Chief Keef for Clay on the tour bus.

I've never seen a look in a man's eyes and then Clay turns to Randall and goes, look you actually listen to this like you enjoy it. I remember whenever I hear that song, whenever I hear that song I remember. What was the song? Love Sosa. Okay. I remember just Clay looking at me and thinking, so you listen to this? Shocked.

Chief Keefe, he was busted for pot in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport. Oh, yeah. Like pretty recently. What was he doing in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport? Pot sounds like... I assume performing. Pot sounds like pot. What was he doing in the Sioux Falls South Dakota airport? We're on to question 8. The topic is cooking. This seven letter word is defined as quote, a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that

is coated in batter and deep fried. This is question 8. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. This seven letter word is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Sarah, you have this one right. Very quick to answer. Pretty confident. Randall, you have this one right. Seven letters and they do describe what this question asks a piece of fruit vegetable or meat that is coated in batter and deep-fried what do you got Max hmm this is question a what is this question a Mississippi bro we don't call it stuff, we just fry it. I know, but you've been eating this shit since you were a baby at that.

I'm really curious who's doing this to fruit. That is a good question. What kind of fruit are we talking about? God, my brain is not working today. Well, you can, but should you? Yeah. Who's out there deep frying a... Watermelon? Can you look at my answer first? Pieces. Yeah

Seven letter word as long as I spelt it right is defined as a piece of fruit vegetable or meat That is coated in batter and deep fried. This is not right. Whatever I wrote down is not right. Our Southern representative, Lake, is struggling on this one. That is a thing. I don't know. He's too close to the subject matter. That's the problem.

You're going to say what the answer is and I'm going to be like, ugh. I don't know if I like my answer anymore. I don't like it at all. I don't like mine. I don't either. Seven letter word. A piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Is everybody ready? Oh, this is bad.

Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Sarah saying tempura. Kate says breaded. Luke says nugget. Tony says breaded. Maggie says tempura. Randall, same answer. Max says chislik.

And Brody, same answer. Max says chislik. And Brody, without an answer. Nobody got it. The correct answer is fritter. Oh, come on. A fritter. I've got a very specific guess.

Okay, a fritter is typically like multiple pieces bound together. It's not like one chunk. I'm guessing that Spencer has a source for this. I'm going to contest that. This was a very specific definition. Nobody got it though, so it doesn't matter. No one got it.

Fritters can feature almost anything from apples to clams to corn to ham for a fishy preparation. Check out our recipes on the meat eater.com called fish fritters or smoked trout fritters. Yeah. See, I think 10 per a fish. And it's little pieces of fish rolled into balls. It's not a piece of fish.

I'm on Maggie's side. That would be a fried fish nugget. Can you look up a definition of tempura for us, really quick Spencer? Nobody got it, we're not gonna give it to anybody. I'm getting cow vibes here. I will look up a definition while Phil. I'm just saying, I think your definition

of fritter is incorrect. Phil is going to give us a scoreboard update. Get him. Don't worry, I got it. I just don't agree with him. Here we are. We have some people have pulled ahead. Um, one of, but one of those people is not max. Uh, he has one point still. Um, Brody, uh, is it has three points,

Sarah, Maggie and Blake all have four points a piece. Caitlin has five and tied up in first place are Tony Peterson and Randall Williams with six points. The tempura definition is a Japanese dish of fish, shellfish, or vegetables fried in batter. They do not include fruit in there. That was a good guess though. No one got it right.

Yeah, I was also wondering if tempura is technically deep fried. Sure it is. Yeah, it definitely is. Okay. But also deep frying wasn't special. Jesus Christ. Tony, you like it. I never worked at a...

A bocce grill. In the definition, it was deep fried. Question nine, the topic is woodsmanship. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the Weather Channel. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the Weather Channel. We're on question nine.

Some quick answers in the room. At least I know my months. Find out if you know how many. How many? Last time I checked 10. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States according to the weather channel. Anything you write down is a one in 12 chance. I know.

She has a point. Well, I can't read down the same month though, so So go ahead and reveal your answers we have Sarah saying August and September Kate says April May Lake says October November Tony says April MayMay. Lake says October-November. Tony says April-May. Maggie says July-August. Randall says April-May. Max says July-August.

Brody says May-June. The three months are April, May, and June, so the room did fairly well. According to data from 2004 to 2023, May is the most dangerous month for tornadoes followed by April and June. 52% of the country's tornadoes occur in this stretch. The least dangerous months are December, January,

and February. Phil, let's get another scoreboard update before question 10. It's still tied up. Tony and Randall have seven points a piece and the only other player still left in the game is Caitlin with six. If Tony and I both get this right, we'll go to overtime. If we get this wrong, we'll both go to overtime.

Good. Yes. Question 10. I just wanted to Good point. Good job, Brandon. Thank you. Question 10. I just wanted to build the suspense for listeners at home. The topic is public lands. The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. National Forest in this state. The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. Randall and Tony are tied. Caitlin

is one point behind. 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. How do you feel about your answer Randall? I feel pretty good. Not entirely confident How about you, Tony? I feel regionally confident. Okay. And state specific, not confident. Okay. 1967, Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state.

How about you, Kate? Do you have this one right? I'm in the same boat as Tony. Okay. Yeah. Is everybody ready? I'm careful. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Washington.

Kate says Washington. Oh no. Lake says Maine. Tony says Oregon. Maggie says Washington. Randall says Oregon. Max says Washington. Brody says Washington.

Oh boy. The correct answer is California, no one got that one right. Oh jeez. How embarrassing. The Patterson-Gimlin film is considered the most famous footage of Bigfoot that exists. It supposedly shows a female Sasquatch walking along Bluff Creek that's located 38 miles south of Oregon and 18 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. In 1998, a man came forward and confessed he was the person in the Bigfoot costume and

in 2002, another man went public saying he created the gorilla suit. But Bob Gimlin denies that the film was a hoax. Here is a remastered version of that footage. Take it away, Phil. That is the Patterson Gimlin footage from 1967. Straight up just a dude. I don't know what you're talking about, man. It looks legit. All right, we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. I got the lights now. This is one of those two scenarios I mentioned earlier.

If you ain't burst your lab and then like go into other stuff it's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, f*** off man. The tie breaking topic is hunting and this will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Tony and Randall will be declared the winner, but the rest of the room is going to play along as well because if somebody gets it right on the nose, MeatEater will add an extra $100 to the donation at the end of the game. What is the average grain weight of 30-odd-6 Springfield ammo that's available at Bass Pro shops average Average this I looked at 63 offerings that they have and I took the average grain weight So not so you're not looking for a specific bullet weight

You're looking for just if you add all those up and then divided by 63 gotcha. Yes It's a weird way of doing it. What is the average brain weight of 30 odd six Springfield ammo This is more fun. that's available at Bass Pro Shops. Getting it down to Tony and Randall who both have seven correct answers.

They nailed the Shelby index, but the rest of the room is playing along as well. Tony doesn't kill a lot of things with a rifle. What cartridge do you use when you do though? You seem like a 30-06 man. I don't have a 30-06. I have a 308 and a 243. And I am very light on rifle kills in my day.

So your daughters can shoot those guns as well, right? Right. That's right. Right. Randall on the other hand, light on rifle kills. So your daughters can shoot those guns as well right? That's right. Randall on the other hand I imagine he owns just a full gun case of.30-odd-6's. I've actually never owned a.30-odd-6. Wow okay. Shame on you. Owned a lot of.30 caliber rifles. Un-American. What is the average grain weight of.30-odd-6 Springfield ammo that's available at Bass Pro Shops? And this was looking at 63 of their offerings. Tony, very quick to answer. He's not going to revisit his Y4 and he's going with his gut on this one.

And math is really my strong suit, so I think I got this. I like how Randall was like, are we talking mean, median or mode? And Tony's like, I don't even know what those words are. I just thought of the smallest one I could think of and the biggest. And there you go. Fricking split the difference. And now Randall has gone back to his. And then I added five.

I don't know why. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying 205. Kate says 170. Lake says 130. Tony says 155.

Maggie says 143. Randall says 166. Max says 123. Brody says 170. Somebody has it right on the nose. Oh, I can't wait for it to be me. 123, Brody says 170. Somebody has it right on the nose. The correct answer is 166 grand! After disliking the question and never owning a 30 odd 6, somehow put it right on the money. To be specific, 166.3.

My goodness. Wow. An extra $100 donation at the end of the game. There are 63 offerings of 30-odd-6 ammo at Bass Pro. The most common are 150 grain, 180 grain, and 165 grain. The lightest is 125 grain, and the heaviest is 220 grain. Randall, what are you gonna do with your $600 donation today?

166, that's very impressive. How did you arrive at that number? Well, I went from 163 to 166 there. I figure at the high end, we're looking at 180s. Low end, we're looking at like a 150, 155 grain. I figured the actual, the mode was probably around 165. And then I just, I'm sure there's a 178 grain mixed in there. I think Hornady's Precision Hunter is loaded

in 168 grain, 30 out six. So anyway. $600 donation. I'd like my $600 donation to go towards backcountry hunters and anglers. Because as we all know, there's a lot of really stupid, stupid things being proposed by stupid, bad people. When it comes to our public lands.

And I know Cal has been beating the drum and he hasn't been sleeping well lately. So maybe with another $600 in the war chest at BHA. He can ease his mind. He can ease his mind a little bit. $600 going to BHA. Fightin' the good fight. Thanks for joining us, Lake.
