And I mean that in a very good way. 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 Randall, Brody, Cory, Hansi, Tressa and Logan.

This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's 4 verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at perfect games. On average, 6.4% of episodes ended a perfect game, but with only one perfect game so far this year, it's been 4% of episodes in 2025. If only Randall would have gotten that perfect game last week.

I was about to ask you why we're talking about perfect games this week. Last week. Seems as though you you why we're talking about perfect games this week last week It seems as though you've used this bit to needle me in advance of our competition I don't think I think Randall in 2024 when you're still hungry for a media trivia championship. He wouldn't have made that mistake Oh, no, I'm pretty sure I made the same mistake. Oh, okay on question 10 of a near-perfect game last year as well Oh, okay on question 10 of a near-perfect game last year as well Oh, it was bad too, I just misread the question. Did you did your face get really red like it usually does? No, I just laughed you like to go so bad. You're growing as a person then he was yeah He was digging through his Instagram DMS to find out who he was going to do

While he sat there with the wrong answer on his whiteboard To find out who he was going to do the game while he sat there with the wrong answer on his whiteboard Like two minutes. Yeah, I just misread the quote. I read elk as moose. Mm-hmm. And so I answer we're not in Sweden. Yeah Actually, I didn't think about that spin Wow. I'm cosmopolitan So now now we have less perfect games less money for conservation. Oh get there Here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themedia.com with the subject line IFAQ, Pat Von Koi says, how do you decide in which order

to place the questions? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I'm not complaining, just a man of structure. I'm genuinely curious. There is some structure. I spread out the questions by topic So I never want like two hunting questions in the first five or two fishing questions in the last five I try to spread out regional diversity So I don't want a question about Alabama followed by a question about Georgia

And I don't want like a question about Western big game followed by another question about Western big game So I I spread it out that way. I try to balance difficulty between the first five and last five questions. So if the Shelby index is like a four, I'll try to put two, she got right in the front half and two in the back half. That way it's not lopsided. And then I try to put a challenging question at question nine or 10. That might be the difference maker for a tight game between Randall and Brody. I don't want to always make it question 10 No, he's better. You could have just said you like to mix it up. I like to mix it up There's a lot of thought that goes into the the ordering of it and question question 10 is always fish

I was gonna say yeah, there's one last rule. You forgot question 10 is fishing He proved that wrong many times. No 100% of the time. Yeah fishing We have fishing at question 9 though It does the same damage to Randall either way make a little note for myself Yeah for someone as a fishing guide is pretty weak in the fishing captain. Yeah Captain and a fishing guide we have some housekeeping today about more potential Jeopardy thievery. On the episode of Meat Eater Trivia that dropped on May 21st, we had a question where the answer was diorama.

Then on the May 27th episode of Jeopardy Masters, they had a question where the answer was also diorama. So just six days apart. Now I couldn't find the Jeopardy! Masters film schedule for 2025 but I could for 2024. Last year they filmed episodes of Jeopardy! Masters roughly two weeks before airing. So assuming they kept a similar cadence this year then it's just a coincidence that both had diorama for an answer. But the real takeaway here is that our show is as good as their show. That's right. Then maybe Then maybe jeopardy needs to think about hiring me when Ken Jennings moves on he's only 51. It's gonna be a little while

Before they would as well you could have Phil come up with a new jeopardy to jingle No, yeah, I don't think you mess with that that you lose your view Through Phil in there, but I'll take Phil with me Phil if Jeopardy calls. I'll take you with me to Jeopardy Oh, that's so kind Randall you want to do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll still be here three person We've got three people Jeopardy then that you could you could come higher Index for today is a four so our winner should get eight correct answers. With that we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop Phil.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You just stand to win everything. Game on suckers! Question 1 The topic is conservation. This first great question is via Peter Doggham. As always it will be multiple choice.

What percentage of Canada is Crownland? Is it 14%? 39%? 64%? Or 89% Crown land is Canada's version of public lands what percentage of Canada is public land is it 14% 39% 64% or 89%

Not a real confident room Brody was first to answer. What percentage of Canada is Crownland? 14%, 39%, 64%, 89%. Brody, how do you feel about your answer? I mean, I used a... Like, I used some thought. No okay, I didn't just guess mm-hmm 14% 39% 64% all burning right now. What were the numbers that went into your thought? You have numbers it was like places got

Yeah, like You think about the layout of Canada Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying 39, Tressa says 14 Randall says 14, Cory 64 Logan 39, Brody 64. The correct answer is 89%. Nobody got that one right. I figured it was a lot. In fact, we had multiple people go on the other end of the spectrum and say 14%. 48% of Canada is provincial Crown land and 41% is federal crown land.

That means just 11% of the country is privately owned. In the United States, about 40% of the country is public land. I mean, you think like, you can Northwest territories like just purely public land stuff. No, in fact, I think it's like, what's the stats like 80% of their population lives south of, I don't know,, what's the stats? Like 80% of their population lives south of, I don't know, Maine or something like that. 49th parallel. Yeah, 89% of Canada is public land.

Question two, the topic is hunting. It's a tough start for our six players today. This big game magazine was founded in 1987 and calls itself, quote, a three generation media based hunting company. This big game magazine was founded in 1987 and calls itself a three generation media based hunting company.

Randall already has his answer, Brody as well. Randall, do you have this one right? I do. How about you, Brody? well Randall do you have this one right I do how about you Brody I'm I think so a generation media based hunting company I'm about as confident as the percentage of public land in Canada founded in 1987 boy that was that was a heck of a first question, Spencer. Tough start. 89%. This big game magazine was founded in 1987 and calls itself a three generation

media-based hunting company. Our other four players look stumped. Do we need the? Is this a magazine, if you're right, Randall, that you've ever been subscribed to? Oh yeah. Okay. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. I'm just gonna leave it. Brody, if you think you have the right answer, is this a magazine that you've been subscribed to? Never subscribed to it. Okay, but you're aware of it. This big gay magazine was founded in 1987 and calls itself quote a

three-generation media based hunting company. Is everybody ready? No one sec let me write down the wrong answer. I was back in the heyday of magazines man. It was. 1987. Just a little baby then. Didn't know little of a baby Well depends when it was found in 1987 as little as I guess three months, uh-huh potentially 14 months on one second Okay That math work

Close enough. Cory going back to his whiteboard a second time. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Petersons. Tressa says the Outdoor Channel. Randall says Eastmans. Cory says Sports of Field. Logan, Field and Stream.

Brody, Eastmans. The correct answer is Eastmans. Brody and Randall got that correct answer is Eastman's. Brody and Randall got that one right. If you were going to make us, cause isn't it like Eastman's hunting something or? Well it's Easton's hunting journal and then I think like a decade later is when they found Bo's hunting journal. Yeah, I was wondering.

Gordon Eastman started filming hunting in the 1950s which inspired his son Mike to create the magazine in 1987 it wasn't long before his son's guy and Ike got involved with the brand Eastman still publishes 12 magazines a year based in Powell Wyoming that's right they're kind of a dinosaur out there. The boys used to shoot giant mule deer. You don't think they do anymore? well I mean I'm sure they still do but like they have all that part of Wyoming this is not what it classic like winter range bucks that all had names and everything. Popeye. Popeye yeah. I feel like they're like the two pillars of their

magazine are like success stories from readers and then the draw odds which is something that a million companies are doing now but Eastman's for a while. Oh a bunch of like they were kind of the place. A bunch of magazines ripped that format off too after them. Yeah. Question three, the topic is public lands. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Nicholas Schneck. Presenting this great question,

Nicholas is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at the meat eater dot com. The National Park Service recommends wrapping your vehicle in tarp while visiting Kings Canyon to prevent this animal from eating your radiator hose. And we have a photo of some tarped vehicles there. You can see this on the Meteor podcast YouTube channel. I'm also going to post this on Instagram.

This photo that I'm referencing. The National Park Service recommends wrapping your vehicle in tarp while visiting Kings Canyon to prevent this animal from eating your radiator hose. Chicken wire too. Chicken wire as well. The National Park Service now says that is antiquated. So don't do chicken wire. I wouldn't be worried about this at Kings Canyon. I've heard stories of people being stranded at remote trailheads. The National Park

Service recommends wrapping your vehicle in tarp while visiting King's Canyon to prevent this animal from eating your radiator hose. There are, I think, seven vehicles in this photo and four of them have the tarp on them. Two of them are Priuses. So dumb. So again, we're looking for the animal. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers we have hansi

saying marmots tressa says pack rat randall says porcupine corey says pack rat logan says porcupine brody says marmot oh the correct answer is marmot oh yeah baby that one right So my wife and I had one get into our Toyota Tundra three years ago, made itself a home. At your house? Yeah, it was in there for about an hour and did $1,500 worth of damage. Oh my goodness, what did it do specifically?

And then, oh it ate hoses and electrical, which apparently during that year of Toyota, they made a bunch of these hoses with like a soybean compound Come on might as well have been peanut butter But yeah that thing saw sad demise Yeah, one of the honest his neighbors also watched a marmot crawl up under his pickup And it was kind of amusing at first and then he read online

Within a few minutes of that the damage they do, and then it was a problem. Yeah. Marmots disable about 30 vehicles every year in California's Kings Canyon National Park by chewing through car wiring. They also say visitors often unknowingly give rides to marmots out of the park that are stowed away in engine compartments.

The park used to recommend wrapping your vehicle in chicken wire, but now say that marmots have learned how to get around it. The large rodents are attracted to antifreeze, which biologists say gives them, quote, a bit of a high. Really? They survived that? They survived it like they started tracking. Deadly to dogs. They started tracking them one year. I noticed that they would walk off stunned, but then they would come back the next year.

And there was like almost they came short of calling it an addiction when these things would start getting up in cars and chewing on wires. So no, it just makes you feel good. It's not a very different, I'd open a Harbor freight right outside the gates of Kings Canyon. I'm actually impressed with how many people do this. I just don't need to go to Kings Canyon. If I need to wrap my pickup and tarp.

I mean, 30 a year, how many people visit that park enough, but also the consequences are pretty high What if what if that's you and your radiator hose gets man? I'm gonna take my chances Question for the topic is cooking the Food Network describes this as as a flat crispy corn tortilla that is typically layered with mashed or refried beans Protein cheese and toppings you're around here. We got to worry about pack rats. Yeah, I brought one home Last oh, and they absolutely destroyed every single thing in my garage damn all my hunting gear my waiters everything Oh, yeah I saw on the hiking Bozeman Facebook group the other day that someone had a marmot under their vehicle at lava lake

Mmm, where you randall you said you've heard of pork eyes of porky pine. Yeah, you'll get up in there though for sure yeah, yeah Yeah, I know what this is. I feel more confident my answer if then You wrapped this in a soft tortilla in a trademark hexagon Tortilla and fold it in a trademark hexagonal shape. That is not the end. Crunchwrap Supreme. The Food Network describes this as a flat, crispy corn tortilla that is typically layered with mashed or refried beans, protein, cheese, and toppings. Randall nailed it if this was a Taco Bell menu question the crunch wrap. We're looking for there's another one crispy corn

Has maybe not been on the menu for a while Describes this is a flat crispy corn tortilla that is typically layered with mashed or refried beans protein cheese and toppings. Mm, yum. What stuff in your garage did that pack rat destroy, Tressa? Oh, my... my waders, my fishing net, my... all my hunting clothes. Who killed that, eventually?

Didn't Steve try to go trap it? Yeah, he did give me some ideas, but my boyfriend didn't want to kill it. We saved it and he drove it up to Highlight and brought some vegetables for it and released it. That's great for someone else to take it home. And he took a video of it. Well, we read that they can travel,

I think I could be completely lying, but like 13 or 30 miles Back to where it was. Wow. And so he drove it up to highlight and released it and took a video of it It probably got smashed on the road going back to your house Cory brought it home Yeah I'm still finding stuff that it destroyed and it ate like everything in our kayak like the seat Yeah and holes in our wall

Terrible. Yeah again We're on question for the topic is cooking a flat crispy corn tortilla That is typically layered with mashed or refried beans protein cheese and toppings is everybody ready Shelby got four of these right four of them them. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Homsie saying, what's that say? Flouta. Tressa says Indian fry bread. Randall says tostada.

Corey, tostada. Logan, gordita. Brody, uh, flotta. The correct answer is tostada. Randall and Corey got that one right. Tostada means toasted in Spanish and refers to flat tortillas that are toasted or fried. Wade Trunk calls them, quote,

essentially an open-faced hard taco. For a tostada recipe, go check out Wade's recipe on themeadeater.com called turkey tostada. What's a flauta? Yeah, I can pull up. Flautas are rolled up, they're close to a taquito. Very different. They're rolled up. out Wade's recipe on TheMeatEater.com called Turkey Tostada. What's a flauta? Yeah, flattos are rolled up. They're close to a taquito. Very different.

And a torta is like a sandwich. And a torta is like a sandwich. Indian fry bread is the same thing, it's just soft. Question five. The topic is fish. It's the same thing though. The Florida Museum of Natural History lists nicknames for this fish as Puppy Drum, Channel Bass, and Spot Tail.

And Cory, Cory do you have this one right? Maybe. I bet you know it. I bet you know it. The Florida Museum of Natural History lists nicknames for this fish as puppy drum, channel bass and spot tail. Never heard any of those. Randall knows it. Corey knows it.

Maybe. I think I know it. Brody knows it. I'll be disappointed. I'm glad Randall's confident in my answer. Oh, I didn't see your answer actually. I just thought I was confident in you. That's something. But I was also confident in porcupine and look how that turned out. Florida Museum of Natural History lists nicknames for this fish as puppy drum, channel bass, and

spot tail. Worst part is I think I know what it is. Picture it. Words not coming to my head. Yeah Randall, I had seen that same photo with like the tarps under it. Like I could have sworn Meaty wrote an article on that a long time ago. Yeah, I know someone who had a porcupine eat the radiator hose and got stranded. Do you have to go get him? But no, no, no. I wasn't anywhere near this incident. King's Canyon, they have signage, they have an entire article on their website. Well, how did I not know that? Have you been to Kings Canyon I have but I We're hiking part of the John Muir trail. So we came we came from the bishop side

Mmm, and then hiked through part of it and then out. Okay some National Forest unique route through part of it and then out. Okay. Some national forest. Unique route. Yeah, you know, backpacking. Does everybody have an answer for what a puppy drum channeled ass in Spot Tail refers to?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi without an answer. Tressa says redfish. Randall, redfish. Corey, redfish. Logan, redfish. Brody, redfish. The correct answer is Redfish or

a Red Drum. Some other nicknames include Reds, Rat Reds, Bull Reds, or Tropical Sea Bass. The world record was caught near Avon, North Carolina in 1984. It weighed 94 pounds, 2 ounces. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update Pretty good game. We got going on here Hansi Tressa and Logan all have one point Corey has two and Randall and Brody are tied up in first place with three points APs come round so far cheese You sailed beyond the horizon in search of an island scrubbed from every map.

What river has a dam on it that's named after America's 31st president? Randall, very quick to answer Brody just joined him with an answer. Do you think you know the 31st president Randall? Is that what gave it away or was it? No. Okay. I, I was about to count backwards in my head. Do you think you know the 31st president Randall is that what gave it away or was it no, okay I I was about to count backwards in my head then I remember humiliating myself that did happen last year So when I answered and that that question was far nearer to that afford Yeah, so I was like I'm just gonna stumble and make a fool of myself again on this

I'm just gonna stumble and make a fool of myself again on this Program river has a dam on it. That's named after America's 31st president. So again the name of the river Cory do you have this one right man? I sure hope so I'm gonna study my presidents I feel like there's enough questions that are related to presidents where if I knew all of them I could maybe be more successful and to be clear the dam is named after the president not the river Yeah, well that was in the question I could see that someone being confused It'd be weird if we were still naming rivers When we had a 31st president

That's a good point Is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Colorado Tressa Madison Randall and Cory say Colorado Logan says the name of the dam which is Hoover Dam and Brody says Colorado the correct answer is the Colorado River in the design phase of the dam it was referred to as Boulder Canyon Dam Boulder Dam and Black Canyon Dam before settling on Hoover Dam which is named after Herbert Hoover at

726 feet tall it's only second to Orville Dam on California's Feather River. Question 7. The topic is hunting. Snoopy is this kind of dog, which AKC describes as, quote, an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion. Brody very quick to answer. Snoopy is this kind of dog which AKC describes as an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion Randall has now joined him I think I have this right Brody very confident cool dog when when Very confident. Cool dog. When when was the Hoover Dam built? I think it was when Hoover was in office. So I don't know when that would have been.

Really? I bet you it was before he heard it was. OK, Hoover Dam was built in 1931. That would have been during the New Deal Herbert Hoover Hoover was president from 1929 to 1933 Again we're on question seven Snoopy is this kind of dog which AKC describes as an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion I got a question for you. What's that?

Do you want it to be really specific? Like can I just say lab? It doesn't have to be specific. Oh jeez. Is everybody ready? No, hold on. Don't let that question get to you that he just asked? This kind of guy, which AKC describes as an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion. Hansi, do you have this one right? I'm between two and I'm 50-50 on it. What else could he be? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Hansi saying Springer Spaniel. Tressa says Dalmatian, Randall Beagle, Corey Beagle, Logan Beagle, Brody Beagle. The correct answer is a Beagle. Four of our players got that one right. That way you were torn between Hansi. Beagles were bred to hunt a variety of small game, but are primarily known for pursuing rabbits. The only hunting Snoopy ever did was for truffles, which takes place in a Peanuts comic strip from 1975.

In that scene, Snoopy refers to himself as the world famous truffle hound. Him and Linus instead only find a girl named Truffles, who they then compete for the affection of. Snoopy sure didn't sound like a beagle. I knew what he sounds like. Jack. Sorry. That's a non sequitur. What did he sound like?

We had that real whiny squealy. So it seems beagle-y to me. No, no, they got like, oh, yeah. Kind of yelping. We're on question eight. The topic is woodsmanship This seven letter word is defined as quote a small steep waterfall especially one of a series

Rodin Randall already know this one Again, this is question eight. The topic is woodsmanship. This seven letter word is defined as a small steep waterfall, especially one of a series. Hans, do you have this one right? Maybe. Okay. Seven letters. Seven letters. All right. Logan, do you have this one right? Potentially. Tell me about this beagle named Jack yeah yeah I was gonna I was trying to decide whether to interject and follow up with that story like to you because otherwise it just be weird if I listed out dogs that I know by name and then we did that Jack lived to be 17 years old damn he died very

recently actually mmm and the very first buck I shot I have a photo of me and Jack in the back of my pickup truck named Black Thunder Very good, but he's a good man. He got skunked a lot, but he liked to chase Skunked a lot as in sprayed by skunks. Yes. Yes. He liked to chase deer and he liked to ball just It's pretty good then we kind of became an asshole in his old age started biting things he's blind Snoopy doesn't really look like a beagle, but I don't know what he looks like instead of a beagle That's that's sort of how I arrived at my answer On the topic of skunks like these skunks hanging on the wall here Are those like trapped and how do you get around the scent glands you got to be real careful?

I was with Steve when we got one. Holy shit. Yeah. Like, that stuff got everywhere. Like we had some beaver meat sitting like 10 feet from the skunk he was skinning and the beaver meat tasted like, oh my god, wow. That's crazy. Yeah, we ate one on Pardon My Plate.

We had two to pick from. One sprayed when it died, the other one did not and so I skinned them both the one that Sprayed thought never a chance. There's no no way we're gonna eat this this meat is totally toxic So we ate the one that did not spray and still tasted like skunk. Mm-hmm Don't recommend bringing that home So, don't recommend bringing that home. Again, we're on question 8. The seven letter word is defined as a small steep waterfall, especially one of a series. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying cascade, Tressa says springs, Randall and Corey and Logan and Brody say cascade. They got it. The correct answer is cascade. The word cascade comes from the French verb cascader, which has basically the same definition. Cascades are usually made up of a series of smaller falls

rather than a single large plunge of water. Bill, we have two questions left. Give us a leaderboard update. A-easements. It is down to Cory, who has five points, and Randall and Brody, who have six points. Hansi and Logan have three and Tressa has one. Marvits.

Question nine, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Clint Hay. This company created the world's first motorized fish shack, which they say is the quote ice fishing dream machine This company created the world's first motorized fish shack which they say is the ice fishing dream machine Our players are stumped Hansi now has an's because I don't have a good idea. Okay. He's not confident in his answer. This company created the world's first motorized fish shack, which they say is the ice fishing dream machine.

I feel like I can see our players can picture what this is, but don't know what it's called. This is question nine. This company created the world's first motorized fish shack, which they say is the ice fishing dream machine. This could be a zero percenter. When did this happen? Not going to give you any hints.

That would bring us to two zero percenters in this episode. Question one and question nine, if nobody can come up with this answer. This company created the world's first motorized fish shack, which they say is the ice fishing dream machine. Corey, would you like to clarify what you're doing on your phone so the internet doesn't yell at you for cheating?

I am I'm texting my wife right now seems important. Okay. She definitely wouldn't know this. Don't worry Again Randall and Brody Do not like their answers or don't have an answer don't like it don't like it Brody. Do you like your answer? No, not really, okay Is everybody ready? I don't like it. Brody, do you like your answer? No, not really. Okay. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying polar. Tressa without an answer. Randall says Ski-Doo.

Cory says Beaver damn mobile. Logan Eskimo. Brody Eskimo. Nobody got it. The correct answer is Snow Bear. I knew it was Beaver Bear or something like that. The company was created in 2005 by Tom Lichen in his West Fargo garage. The SnowBear is created like a bus, shaped like a bus, and rides on its patented MaxTrac system. When

you park it, the hydraulic lift will lower the machine 12 inches to place you on the ice Their website doesn't list a price, but a South Dakota dealership just sold a 20 23 model for does anyone want to guess? Yes, 35 higher 60 higher 123,000 24 hundred and thirty hundred twenty three thousand dollars that was a South Dakota you should be surprised that that was a zero percenter Spencer that's why someone

could have gotten that Steve was in one in an episode where they went ice fishing didn't Jay Siemens Jay Siemens oh yeah, wow Chester's folly. Hansi probably edited that episode. I did not Not yeah, we don't need a scoreboard update. We have fit or excuse me We have Randall and Brody with six and Cory with five going into question ten The topic is cooking. Oh Ha Carl, which is fermented shark is considered a national dish of this country. Let's go. Cory knows this one.

He would need Randall and Brody to get this one wrong to go to overtime with them. I've had it. Ha, Carl, which is fermented shark, is considered a national dish of this country we have Cory handing out hints He says he's been there and he's eaten. I can't imagine that's gonna help you out Pretty sheltered Montana boy. Mmm. I haven't updated the tiebreaker sound yet. I apologize Ha Carl, which is fermented shark is considered a national dish of this country

Cory be prepared to give us a review of this food after we reveal the answer Yeah, and I had to look at the look at the screen because I thought you said hot Carl What do you call that a what's what kind of a This type this type that I normally use for trivia can't do accent so I had to change it to a different font HAKARL Fermented shark is considered a national dish of this country Randall do you have it narrowed down to a few countries I Do have you thought about where Cory may have been I have okay is that helping you?

What's your last name again, Cory? Carl I think the only I think the only real, I don't even want to say that Ha Carl, which is Fermented shark, is considered a national dish of this country Hansi, do you have this one right?

Yes. Have you eaten this before? No, I would. Alright. Well, we'll see what, we'll see what Cory has to say about it. I feel like almost every travel show that goes to this country has this dish. Okay, another hint. See what we'll see what Cory has to feel like almost every travel show that goes to this country Brody has flops down his whiteboard Is everybody ready I Don't I think we had Randall flash his whiteboard to Cory and Cory sort of I think he's really recoil Yeah, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Iceland Tressa

Australia Randall Iceland Corey Iceland Logan Iceland Brody Norway the correct answer is Iceland making Randall our winner with seven correct answers. Did I help you out with that one? You didn't know. The biggest tell for me was the A with the

diacritical mark of whatever that's called. I figured it was a Scandinavian country. I thought I remember you saying at some point you've been to Iceland. On Meteor Radio, we talked about our coolest camping spots. Didn't you talk about Iceland? Yeah.

And then when we talked about travel shows going to this country. Oh my goodness. Also I can say this because I'm Norwegian. I just figured like if it was Norwegian, it was also Swedish. I feel like those were too close together, but I figured it was in that general realm of things and I'm Norwegian Thank you for the qualifier. Yeah Sometimes referred to as a cell shark because its fermentation process lasts for five months It's made of Greenland shark and often served on toothpicks

It's customary to take a shot of alcohol afterwards to chase down the cheesy fishy taste of the shark. Cory how was it? It's disgusting. Yeah, putrefied shark. Yeah and they want you to ideally chase it down with vodka, a local vodka called Black Death. Mmm. So you can imagine what that is. Did you go back for seconds? Yes, you did. Oh, good on you. It was pretty bad, but mainly because I wanted that second shot of black. Try anything twice. Pretty rough. I had to pinch my nose like a marmot and radiator fluid.

Randall gets to choose where the $500 donation goes today. What's it going to be? Randall, Let's send this one to the New York chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Okay, very specific. What do they got going on? They are hosting the Muster in the Mountains this summer, August 1st to August 3rd in Westkill, New York, which is a gathering for East Coast,

or I should say Eastern public lands aficionados. And so a lot of times our public lands talk is very Western centric. So I had a listener point out to me that they're public land lovers all over this great country. So if you're in the neck of the woods, August 1st through 3rd, check out Muster in the Mountains. Cal might be there. I don't know. It wouldn't be possible without Randall's donation so they're gonna be every time they take a drink that weekend Randall they're gonna do a little cheers to you. You're just cutting me off at the knees in my moment of triumph. Typical. We began this game with a shot at old Randall and we end with a shot at... actually

let's end with this. Thanks Spencer.
