For the stat of the week this week we're looking at the number 5. That's how many days until the third season of Meat Eater Kids is released. The first episode will be available on June 30th on the Meat Eater Kids podcast feed. We'll have 5 new episodes this summer with new ones dropping each Monday through the end of July. We've got new stories, new critter noises, new jokes, and new trivia. Again, that's the Meat Eater Kids podcast feed on June 30th. I just had a fella today tell me on the phone how much they enjoy him and the kids listening to that.

They put it on on their way to basketball practice and they really enjoy it. We've got a new crop of kids this year playing trivia. We've got Cory Calkins jr. Is gonna be there He was he was the highlight of that day recording those episodes. I'm glad you think so, too Did Marshall feel like a star after he left? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he thinks he's a celebrity now He will be in five days on June 30th cool Here's our infrequently asked question segment If you have a trivia related question for our crew send it to trivia at the meat eater comm with the subject line I FAQ Joel Donnelly says what's the most common question people send I talked about this in the past

Similar with a with a different question There's a lot of people who were right in asking what state has the most miles of shoreline or the most running water They'll also provide like five different answers, Kentucky, Nebraska, Alaska, um, California. Um, so that's, that's a common one people will send, but there's a different question that is very cut and dry. Uh, it's been sent to me 31 times. I just checked this morning.

What's the longest running outdoor TV show? No one's going to get this. Do you guys have any guesses? Hmm. Out. Like outdoor TV show. That's a broad, like, Haunted Fission? Haunted Fission. You've never even heard of this. The answer is Kentucky A Field. That's what I was going to say. Uh-huh. Yeah. Kentucky A Field. 31 people have sent that. Kentucky A Field does a very good job of branding that they are the longest running outdoor TV show It's part of the communications arm of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. It's been airing since 1953 they claim it's the third longest running TV show of any subject matter and is just slightly younger than Meet the Press and

The Today Show Kentucky indicated or is it like a public access thing? Uh, I don't know where they air it. I'm guessing on local stations in Kentucky, but like I said, it's put on by their state's wildlife agency and it's just a standard hunting and fishing show. Uh, with a touch of conservation. And they love to tell those folks in Kentucky who see it, that it's the longest running outdoor TV show.

Uh, so much so that 31 people in the last four years have sent me that question. Wow. Man, and just after 10 seasons of Me, Dear, we were like, man, what are we gonna do next? We've got to send Steve all the way to Africa. And these guys have been doing 31 seasons in one state. No, 31 times I've been sent this question. They've been doing it since 1953, so 70 years running. 70 seasons. Like I said, only Meet the Press and The Today Show are older than them. this question. They've been doing this since 1953. So 70 years running. 70 seasons. Like I said, only Meet the Press and the Today Show are older than them. So good for you Kentucky Field. Thanks to those folks who have sent that question. As you could tell,

it'd be one that no one would get right. But good for the folks at Kentucky Field. Do you know what the most common infrequently asked question is too? That's what I thought you were asking. Yeah, one of them was about when Meat Eater podcast guests will start participating again. That was a common one that folks would send in. All right, we have some housekeeping. During the Gibroni Championship, we had a question about the name of the yellow wildflower

that combines an injury with a woman's name. Corey, what'd you put for that one? The brown-eyed Susan. Brown-eyed Susan, which was not right. Which is a very common flower in Montana. Gave me a real chuckle. The brown-eyed. The correct answer was the black-eyed Susan.

Now Michael Moat wrote in to say that besides the black-eyed Susan, there should be another acceptable answer. It's not the brown-eyed Susan. It's the cut-leaf daisy. Those are a yellow wildflower, and it does combine an injury with a woman's name. So if you said cut-leaf daisy for that one,

then you'd also get credit for correcting it. Hold on, the injury is cut-leaf? A cut would be an injury, and it's a daisy. So a cut-leaf daisy. I would give that. Nobody in the room said that, and only one listener wrote in with that commentary. injury and it's a daisy. So a cut leaf daisy. I would, I would give that if someone, nobody in the room said that and only one listener wrote in with that commentary.

So if you were Michael or another person who said cut leaf daisy, we'll give it to you. We're still not going to accept brown eyed Susan though, which Corey said is a precursor to getting pink eye. Uh, very much enjoyed that. All right. The Shelby index for today is a three.

So our winner should get 6 correct answers. And with that we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil! Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Everything Question one the topic is woodsmanship this first great question is via Charlie McDonald and as always it will be multiple choice If a lightning strike and thunder are separated by 10 seconds, then how far away is the lightning?

Is it one mile, two miles, 10 miles, or 20 miles? For our international listeners, that's 1.6 kilometers, 3.2 kilometers, 16 kilometers, or 32.2 kilometers. So if a lightning strike and thunder are separated by 10 seconds, then how far away is the lightning? Your four choices, one mile, two miles, 10 miles, 20 miles. Does anybody know this? I know what we used to say when we were kids.

Yeah, same. Same. All right. Same. See if that's accurate or not. Again, one mile. We had to have heard it somewhere. Two miles, 10 miles or 20 miles. And that's if the lightning strike and thunder are separated by 10 seconds. And that is 1.6 kilometers, 3.2 kilometers, 16 kilometers, or 32.2 kilometers. We're in America.

Miles. Is everybody ready? That's another common IFAQ. Can we get more Canadian, New Zealand, Australian questions? Those three groups specifically. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying 10, Roman 10, Yanis 10, Marge 10, Corey 10, Brody 10. The correct answer is two miles. Nobody got it right. The general rule is

that you count the number of seconds separating lightning and thunder, then divide by five for miles or divide by three for kilometers. Noah says that anytime you're close enough to hear thunder, you're close enough to get struck by lightning. We just left off that divide by five part. Yeah. So 10 seconds would be two miles for every five seconds. That's a mile. So we were always all thinking we were a lot closer

or a lot farther. A lot farther away. Now you know. Oh, Brody, what does your board say? Hello, Mike Lee. The back of Brody's whiteboard says, suck it, Mike Lee. You're here. Question two, the topic is conservation.

This seven letter word is defined as quote, the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. Oh man, I hope I can get seven. This is question two. All six of our players got question one wrong. This seven letter word is defined as the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. Yannis and Brody and Cory seem like they know it. Seth, do you have this one right?

Well, the word I chose didn't quite add up. You've probably seen more glaciers than anyone else here. Yeah, I've seen this happen before. Oh, okay. This seven-letter word is defined as the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. Makes me think of the Titanic. I've watched that recently. Have you? My kid really wants to watch that.

And I think- Oh, you don't let him? Well, it's a three hour movie, I think. Two and a half. You just watch like 15 minutes a night. Spread it out over three nights. That's a really good idea. You know, fun fact, one of the crew members,

there's a last minute like crew exchange and guy got off the ship with the only key for all of the binoculars on the entire boat. So they didn't have binos the entire time they were out there. They were just locked away inos the entire time they were out there. They were just locked away in a locker because of a last minute cruise. On the real Titanic?

On the real Titanic. Another fun fact, when they took, took off from port, there was a fire burning on board that had been burning in one of the coal, whatever coal storage areas for over a week and a half, they didn't put it out for two days into the voyage. So fun fact. Mark's going to do a Titanic trivia. We like shipwrecks here.

Again, this seven letter word is defined as the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Roman without an answer. Janis says calving. Marge without an answer. Corey and Brody say calving. They got it. The correct answer is calving. Calving can happen to glaciers, icebergs, and ice shelves. If it happens on water, the falling ice can cause hazardous waves. These events are so powerful that the World Wildlife Fund says a calving glacier generates the loudest natural sound in the Arctic Ocean. Where were you at when you saw a calving glacier, Seth? Was in interior Alaska. We camped, well we were, I was doll sheep hunting with Steve and his brother and we can't like

the whole valley below us was a glacier. So you'd lay there at night in your tent and just hear that thing. Oh, would it wake you up? Like big chunks falling off of it all night long. Uh-huh. Yeah. Very cool. It was loud.

Question three, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Nicholas Bush. This is an audio question. Phil is going to play you one minute of a song about fishing and you need to tell me who the artist is. Take it away, Phil. Come on, nitty gritty. I'm already mad. Well I love her.

Oh I'm sad. I love to fish. I spend all day out on this lake and hell is all I catch. But today she made me at the door. That's an easy one. What do we need to tell you? Tell me who's singing this song. Oh my god, it's terrible. I just go, I'm just like a go-to country guy that I just choose to name my write-down when these things come up. If you don't have it by now you're not getting it. I'm, I have no idea. No? He doesn't say his own name in this song so no it ain't Luke combs This all these music ones are always a genre of music that to be honest I don't listen to so it's really hard for me like throw me something

Sounds a little like Axl Rose. Oh wow yeah write that down Seth needed two words, and he had the answer Cory. How do you feel about your answer really bad? Okay, really bad. What if there's any rap songs where they mention hunting fish? Oh, well we had who Chi mama has an answer a few weeks ago Which was a rap song? So there you go Hmm you know I don't know that song. Seth, you really like that song? Um, I mean it's not my favorite, but I don't mind it. Okay. Kelsey didn't make you pick between fiction and life.

The honest seemed real offended by how bad it was. No, I listen to a lot of country. There you go. A lot of people give me shit about that, but I don't give a shit. A lot of people, as in like Steve? Yeah, Steve's long for sure. He's only against a certain type of country. Yeah. Yeah. I like that.

That's where I fall too. I listen to a lot of country too. And this country was not your favorite country? No. No. Okay. I'm with that. I like all the country, the old, the semi-old, the new.

OK. Again, you need to tell me who was singing that song. Is everybody ready? Phil, what did you think of that song? Not my favorite. Not his favorite. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Brad Paisley.

Ah! Roman without an answer. Yanis says Randy Travis. Marge says Keith Urban. Corey says Alan Jackson. Brody says Morgan Wallen. The correct answer is Brad Paisley. Way to go, Seth.

At least you guys wrote down country artists. Right, that was a country artist, right? That tune. Keith Urban, you've been listening to Brad Paisley. I mean, I grew up listening to country radio, so I don't whenever... So you knew about him as a kid? Yeah. Yeah.

That tune is called I'm Gonna Miss Her or The Fishing Song. Brad Paisley wrote it in college and performed it at a student concert, then tried selling it to Garth Brooks, George Strait, and get this, Alan Jackson, Corey. He eventually decided to keep the song for himself and released it on his second album in 2002. I'm gonna miss her, got CMA nominations for Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Video of the Year. There you go, Yarnas.

Fun to hear. It was a highly celebrated song. When Post Malone started dabbling with country, he covered that song and it was fantastic. Brad Paisley's a paleontology nut. He, when I worked at the Museum of the Rockies, he came in, he was just there a month ago. I saw he was, he had a photo there a little while ago.

Yeah. Get him on the pod. Nice. And he married the woman in that music video, who was, Phil, I bet you loved According to Jim, right? No. No, okay. I'm not a Jim Belushi guy. She was the sister-in-law on that show, and that's his wife.

Question four, the topic is hunting. Common, hooded, and red-breasted are the three types of this North American diver duck. Yeah. These things are tasty. Corey, Brody, Yanni, all seem to know this one. Common, hooded, and red-breasted are the three types of this North American diver duck. Common, comma, hooded, comma.

Look it up right behind you. Oh, I could do that. You can see it. Common is one, hooded is two, and red-breasted is three. They are the three types of North American diver duck of this North American diver. Where is Randall? He's in Germany right now. Oh, yes. Yeah, we're gonna have two Randall this episodes here the next couple weeks What if Steve was hunting in Germany? Would you be any more excited about that?

No, uh Yeah, a little more Yeah, yeah, I don't know America's pretty cool That is about to spend America's birthday in Africa. He leaves in a couple days. Again, question four. Which country in Africa, Seth? Which country?

Yeah. Well, Africa's the country, right? That's a continent. Yes. I don't know. Seth, I just said you're going to Tanzania. It's confusing. I don't know you're going to Tanzania No interest We could tell yeah common hooded and red-breasted are the three types of this north, you know since your expectations are so low

Going there changes their life Gonna celebrate the fourth of July while you're there? Hell yeah. Yeah. For sure. Take some fireworks with you. They won't mind. Big old American flag with me.

There you go. Does everyone have an answer for question four? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Merganser. Roman says swallow. Yannis, Merganser, Marge, Corey, and Brody saying merganser, Roman says swallow, Janis merganser, Marge, Cory and Brody say merganser, they got it, the correct answer is a merganser. Mergansers are categorized as sawbill diving ducks which are fittingly named after their slim serrated bills.

These specialized beaks help them catch and hold prey such as fish, crustaceans, and amphibians. Broganza are considered one of the worst tasting ducks a hunter can harvest. Brody gave a little hint and said they're delicious. Brody, how many Broganza have you eaten? None. Yannis and I used to work for a fly fishing outfitter that just hated these things. Just wanted to kill them all. Why? Do you think that you zined all this one line? Zined all the trout. Oh yeah, I bet.

I think the very first float trip for fishing, maybe ever float trip, and the very first duck I ever shot, was a combo for, ended up being a hooded merganser. Did you eat it? On the upper Colorado. Oh yeah? Yeah, we tried. Uh huh.

Yeah. I had, um, my wife's uncle, he was duck hunting, did not intend to shoot a hood hooded Merganser, but he shot once. Then he got it mounted. Yeah. If I was going to get a duck mounted, they're pretty. Yeah. They're cool.

All three types. You got those little teeth on their bill. That would have been a good one for part of my plate. Yeah. Merganser. What makes them taste so bad? Their diet. Their diet. Cause they eat a lot of Brody's my plate. Yeah. Morganser. What makes them taste so bad? Their diet. Just because they eat a lot of Brody's little trout. Yeah. I'm reading a book right now where the author ate a loon and he said the worst thing he'd ever eaten was a Morganser, but a loon was 10 times worse than that.

Oh, I'm not kidding. Yeah. Just oily. Makes sense. Darker and even fishier. See a lot of loons here this time of year in Montana. Yeah. Migrate. Question five, the topic is cooking.

This culinary technique is defined as quote, quickly cooking food in boiling water, then dunking it in ice water to stop the cooking process. Oh, dang it. This was one of my questions for my upcoming episode. Okay. This culinary technique is defined as quickly cooking food in boiling water, then dunking it in ice water

to stop the cooking process. Yeah, there it is. This may be a 100 percenter. The room looks optimistic. Did it come to you, Corey? It took a second. I'm like 50-50. 50-50.

Quickly cooking food in boiling water, then dunking it in ice water to stop the cooking process. The word food is throwing me off. Everything else. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Roman and Janice and Marge. The whole room says blanching.

The whole room got it right. The correct answer is blanching. Blanching is most commonly done prior to freezing vegetables. Blanching also helps remove the skin of tomatoes and peaches, a step you might use before making salsa or pie. To learn about this process, check out our article on the meateater.com called How to Prepare Your Garden's Harvest for Winter Storage. You got to do that with crabs and shrimp, too. That's you blanch them every time. Well, I mean, that's how we do it. Shrimp cocktail. Yeah.

You blanch some stuff from your garden this year. Going to be getting to that. The only thing I've harvested from my garden yet is a few strawberries and some radishes. It's like early summer, man. Are you going to have to blanch later this year? No, we just eat the stuff. Like, we'll save some tomatoes, preserve some tomatoes, but that's it. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Wow. It's not good. Pretty close game. Last place, we've got Roman with one point. Maggie has two.

You got it. And the rest of the players are right in line with the Shelby index. We've got Seth, Corey, Brody and Janice all tied up with three points at halftime. You searched for your informant Who disappeared without a trace You knew there were witnesses but lips were sealed You swept the city Steve Rinella here, the American West with Dan Flores is a new podcast. heart pounding thrillers on Audible.

Question six. The topic is conservation.

This next great question is via Josh Perry. The Wolf Center defines this nine-letter word as, quote, When scientists place devices on wild animals to track their movements and behaviors. What? The Wolf Center defines this nine letter word as when scientists place devices on wild animals to track their movements and behaviors. The room appears to be stumped after having a 100 percenter on question five. Brody, do you have this one right? I got a nine letter word. OK, that makes sense. Corey, do you have this one right? 5050 the Wolf Center defines this nine letter word

as when scientists place count of vices on wild animals to track their movements and behaviors, maybe 6040. Oh, OK, he's growing more confident. Show your whiteboard to Brody, see what he thinks of it. Yeah, buddy. Okay. They are in agreement. Seth, do you have this one right?

I don't know. I don't know. Were they both right or both wrong? Nine letter word. No in between. When scientists place devices on wild animals to track their movements and behaviors. Janice looks stumped down there. He did not have this question for his next time hosting. How you doing, Yanni?

I honestly- Janice always does this and then comes up with it. I honestly don't exactly know what the word is that I- what it means, the word I put down. Oh, okay. Well, we're all learning something. Which is something I've what it means, the word I put down. Oh, okay. Well, we're all learning something. But just something I've heard before, you know? The Wolf Center defines this nine-letter word as

when scientists place devices on wild animals to track their movements and behaviors. I write down the same word three times, and every time it's ten letters. Oh, okay. Yeah. Just lose one of them. Yeah. Maybe, yeah, maybe you're spelling it wrong. That's what I do. Maybe you're just spelling it wrong. Yeah, just lose one of them. Yeah

Maybe you're just spelling it wrong. Yeah drop the e Drop the use two T's Everybody ready I need some I need some space in my brain What do you currently fill that space with? Right now it's all this chitter chat. I need some space to come up with the answer. Yep. Marge, do you have this one right?

No. I just added ing. Yana, do you give up? Yeah, I guess I do. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying telemetry. Roman says analyzing. Yannis, without an answer,

Marge says collaring. Courtney, collaring. Brody, collaring. Oh. The correct answer is telemetry. Oh! Seth got that one right. You're joking, waiting for the punchline. No, it's telemetry. Seth got that one right. You're joking, waiting for the punchline. No, it's telemetry. This is what the Wolf Center defines that nine letter word as. Well

I could define collaring that way too buddy. Well the Wolf Center does not. As we learned on a previous episode of Trivia, technology used to track Sputnik is what birthed the science of wildlife telemetry. This GPS research has been used across the animal kingdom from whales to butterflies. Question 7. I'm like there's no way it's telemetry because who the hell's done that in the last 20 years since the advent of GPS? Still used today.

Well telemetry is GPS. Is that true? Well there's radio and there's GPS. Huh? Telemetry? GPS telemetry is GPS. Well, there's radio and there's GPS. Huh? Telemetry? GPS telemetry. Question seven. The topic is natural history. Let's not argue about it, boys.

There's collaring though. This man who was America's secretary of state negotiated the deal to purchase Alaska from Russia. Oh, some bitch. This man who was America's secretary of state negotiated the deal to purchase Alaska from Russia. It wasn't Mike Lee because he'd want to sell Alaska to Russia. That's right.

God. Good one. Okay. How many letters? Brody has, that's right. I'm not going to tell you. Brody can tell you if he likes. This man who was America's Secretary of State negotiated the deal

to purchase Alaska from Russia. Brody just did. Do you guys know what the I think it's called Valsalva. Do you guys know what that is? Valsalva maneuver. It's something I learned about when I was having those heart palpitations things more often. And it's basically a way that you like,

just like scrunch down your body and like create pressure to like kind of reset your heart so that it quits doing it. I think Brody just did that exercise, the Valsalva maneuver to push that answer into his frontal cortex. He did curl up in his chair. Should we all try it? Did you, is that something you did, Yanni? Yeah, I tried it, but then I later learned Push that answer into his frontal cortex. Should we all try it?

Is that something you did, Yanni? Yeah, I tried it, but then I later learned that it didn't really work, the kind of issue I was dealing with. Again, this is question seven. The topic is natural history. There are five blank whiteboards. And then Brody, who thinks he has the right answer. I'm tempted to give everyone a hint.

Yeah, please. This man, who was America's secretary of state negotiated the deal to purchase Alaska from Russia. What's the score, Phil? Well, I think Seth has a one-point lead on you right now. Do I need a first and last name? Last name is good enough. These will be Jeopardy rules for this one.

This man who was America's Secretary of State negotiated the road I'm not from Russia he flashed his whiteboard to bro I'm gonna give people a head no Wow please it's someone's folly Wow Chester Will that help me The purchase of Alaska was okay someone's folly There is a hint from Brody the answer is not now watch I'm gonna get it wrong, but I think I'm right There was an episode of ice fishing that was named Chester's folly. Yeah Chester he didn't buy Alaska. What what was the folly on that trip? What was the issue? It was just too cold and the ship was breaking down? He planned the trip and yeah, he should have pulled the plug and we should have not gone. How many fish were caught? Oh, I don't know. I mean we caught quite a few perch, but just everything broke. Yeah, it was rough. 50 below. It's tough to ice fishing that stuff. That'll turn you off ice fishing forever. Yeah. Just everything broke. Yeah. It was, yeah, it was rough. 50 below, it's tough to ice fish and that stuff.

That'll turn you off ice fishing forever. Yeah. Yeah. Brody has handed out a hint that it was someone's folly and it did not help anybody in the room, but I bet there's listeners who have come up with the answer. Oh, for sure. Is everybody ready?

I'm just going to come up with some. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth without an answer. Roman says Smith, Yannis, Hancock, Marge, without an answer. Corey says Hoover. Brody says C word. He got it. Seward.

The correct answer. Seward. That's William Seward. That was Seward's folly. At two cents per acre, which came out to $7.2 million, America acquired Alaska in 1867. Opponents of the purchase gave it the nicknames Seward's Folly and Seward's Icebox. About 30 years later, even his harshest critics changed their tune when the Klondike Gold Rush began in 1896.

Today there's a town, peninsula, highway, and multiple schools in Alaska that carry his name. Question 8. The topic is fishing. Anglers sometimes mimic the larval stage of a dobson fly, which goes by this ungodly name. Brody quick to answer again. Anglers sometimes mimic the larval stage of a Dobson fly, which goes by this ungodly name. Again Brody has an answer. Five other white boards in the room that do not have an answer. This is question eight. Seth should know this one.

Yeah. Okay. You want to hand out any hints to folks again? Seth should know this one. Yeah. Okay. You want to hand out any hints to folks again? Nope, not this time. It is generosity for this episode. Angler sometimes mimic the larval stage of a dobson fly, which goes by this ungodly name. When you say ungodly, it's gross to say it, but. Not going to give you any hints. No more hints, buddy. Corey, do you have this one right? The ungodly name gave me an answer. Okay. I hope it's right.

Let me see. Yep. Now the last time those two agreed, they did not have the right answer. Sweet. Yanni, do you have an answer? No, not yet Angler sometimes mimic the larval stage of this job, but I think you just gave Yana. I'm an angler. You're an angler Throw yeah, man We'll talk more. Oh, I mean I see him all the time. It's never really you don't got him out here You don't see him all the time. I do I don't think so not here West of yeah, he's really studying this conversation But he thinks he has the right answer. Okay. Do you have an answer Seth? Yeah. Okay. It has it's is it an ungodly name?

Yeah, okay Maybe Brody and I are wrong. Maybe but I don't think so. Yanni is really squinting. I think yeah I think Brody and I are wrong. Maybe, but I don't think so. Yanni is really squinting over there. I think Brody and I are on the same page. Yanni, is there anything coming to you? No. Must not have been much of a fishing guide, huh? Well, he wanted...

No, he wouldn't have. No, he wouldn't have. Yeah, right. That's my problem. It sounds like it's a Pennsylvania But the mighty tuny at a river they got him there Marge do you have an answer? Let's go. Okay. Everybody ready go ahead and Roman without an answer Janice says hex Marge says, Sex Dungeon.

Very good, wrong but ungodly. Cory says, Helgramite. Brody says, Helgramite. They got it. The correct answer is Helgramite. And the spelling is H-E-L-L-G-R-A-M-M-I-T-E. Helgramite. Helgramites are a universal fish food getting eaten

by trout, bass, catfish, panfish and more. The most popular way to imitate one is with a wooly bugger fly. But if you want to use the real thing, then check out our article on the meat eater.com called creepy crawlers, how to catch and fish with Helgramites. They'll draw blood, man.

Yeah, they're nasty. They got some big old pinchers on them. So what's, what is your familiarity with Helgramites? We'll drop blood, man. Yeah, they're nasty. They got some big old pinchers on them. So what's, what is your familiarity with Helgramites? We used to use them for bait for a small town. In Pennsylvania? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Corey, where do you think you've seen Helgramites that Brody

disagrees with you on? I just looked it up. I was way off. But as an angler, I knew all about this. Good on you. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. Here we are. Roman still has his point. He's holding on to it. Maggie has two.

Yep. Janice has three. Corey has four and tied up in first place are Brody Henderson and Seth Morris with five. Wow. Anglers. And all the fishing questions should be done for now. They are. Question nine. The topic is hunting Who wrote the? 1973 turkey hunting book 10th Legion Oh get out Who wrote the 1973 turkey hunting book 10th Legion Brody quick to answer Seth has now joined him Cory do you have a chance at this one? No. No, okay.

Who's read this book in here? Okay, Yanni, Seth, and Brody. No, I read part of it. I already know the thing, yeah. Yanni, you have this one right then. I do. Who wrote the 1973 turkey hunting book? But so does Brody, so I'm not gonna be able to take him down today. This was in Monday's Meat Eater podcast.

If you haven't listened to it yet. Did they talk about this? Mm-hmm. Yep. We had Will Primo. Will. Oh, talked about this specific book. Yeah. I was in the room. Did they say his name? You were? When you saw the answer, did you remember that name from the podcast? I actually own a copy of this book. Okay, that's weird. For some reason and I've never read it. But yeah, he was at an NWTF one year too, which is very funny, just sitting like him just sitting behind a desk, like citing copies and stuff. Who wrote the 1973 Turkey Hunting Book, 10th Legion? Is everybody ready?

It's not just for some reason, it's because you're an aspiring turkey hunter and Ben O'Brien gifted you that to help you, to inspire you. Ben had him on the podcast, I feel like at one time. Yeah, I think that was before my time, but yeah, he did. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Tom Kelly Roman without an answer. Janice says Colonel Tom Kelly Marge without an answer. Corey says Knox Brody says Tom Kelly, they got it. The correct answer is Tom Kelly. Tom Kelly's website has declared it

the Bible of wild turkey hunting. The name of the book is from Colonel Kelly's comparison of turkey hunting to Caesar's 10th Legion. In his analogy, he says both groups have a cult-like obsession and common goal. Phil, before question 10, give us a final scoreboard update. It's down to Seth and Brody they're still tied up with six points.

We got a fish in it for the last question. The topic is gear. Damn. This is our listener question of the week which was won by Brad Hankins. We're sending this great question. Brad 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 themeedeater.com. I'm rooting for you, Seth. Thanks, Johnny.

When was the last time you had a win? I don't even know, it's been so long. It's been a long time. Maybe the old office. Okay, wow. That was... I had a bit. That was 2023 then.

I may be here, I have no clue. All right. I don't remember question 10. The topic is gear. This is for all the marbles Columbia Pendleton Keen Danner Benchmade Leatherman Gerber and Leupold are all headquartered in this state Seth quick to answer Brody taking his time. Oh, this is a neat, this is going to be a, what do they call it? Tiebreaker? Tiebreaker.

Columbia. T-T-Tiebreaker! Kakeem. Danner. Benchmade. Leatherman. Gerber. And Leupold are all headquartered in this state.

I definitely have it down to two. Okay. Marge and Yanni agree on what the state is. And I'm pretty sure maybe the first one no longer is there. Potentially. Or maybe they moved it from the capital of the state. Due to some conflicts. Brody, how do you feel about your answer?

99 point. Oh, it's a complex. Nine percent. Okay. Give it away. Corey, you going to come up with an answer? Columbia, Pendleton, Kier, Dare, Benchmade, Leatherman, Gerber, and Leupold. One out of one. I think you should have at least a one out of 49.

One out of 48 chance. I mean... Go ahead, write another one down. Yeah, yeah. Marge declared it a bad guess. There's no Helgrimites there, Claire. Oh. There probably isn't.

Give us another one. Making a third swap. Maybe go the other direction. Let's go. Everybody ready. Going a long ways the other direction. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have seven more. Give us another one. Making a third swap. Maybe go the other direction. Let's go. Yeah, go a long ways the other direction.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Oregon. Roman says Oregon. Janice, Oregon. Marge, Oregon. Corey, Washington. Brody, Oregon. The correct answer is Oregon.

That means we're going to go to overtime between Brody and Seth. All of those brands are headquartered in Portland besides Benchmade, which is in Oregon city and Leupold, which is in Beaverton. Portland considers themselves, quote, the world's epicenter for apparel and outdoor gear companies. They claim to have the largest concentration of outdoor brands in America.

Besides Bozeman. Tell us about your answers, Cory. What were the two states you arrived at before Washington? I started out with Kentucky and that got laughed at. And I threw out Pennsylvania just cause these two jumped on it so fast. And that got laughed at. I should have known it was Pendleton. Did you go, yeah, did you go to Kentucky cause of Pendleton?

No. I just threw that out there. We are headed to overtime play the drop Phil I think just cut it at if you ain't first your last and then like go into other stuff. It's funny I never liked it. Hey Phil off man. The tie-breaking topic is Conservation this tie-breaking question is via Jesse Patterson. This will be a numerical question, so whoever is closest between Brody and Seth will be declared the winner, but the other four players will also come up with an answer because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Mead Eater will add an extra $100 donation to the end

of the game. How many states have a national grassland? How many states have a national grassland? Seth has a blank whiteboard while it appears that Brody is making a list. Two different strategies unfolding in front of us How many states have a national grassland? I? Have no clue okay, so it's gonna be a guess Hmm.

Hmm. Yana's also making a list now. No, no list. I'm writing down one number. Uh huh. How many states have a national grassland? I think this is back to back weeks of tiebreakers after having like a three month stretch earlier this year without a tiebreaker. It's raining overtime around these days.

Hmm. without a tiebreaker. It's raining overtime around these days. I was hoping for a little bit of a closer game on Sunday night, but didn't happen for the old yesers. You know, Roman? Where do they rank among your favorite teams? I've got a feeling. Number two? I don't have a clue. You know, if you made me choose and put them in a line- You'd go Bucks number one.

No, why? No, I don't know. No, because I was born in Indianapolis. Number one then. Yeah, so they'd be number one. And then Denver Nuggets number two. Pistons two, then Denver. Then Denver Nuggets.

Gotta love the Pistons. I'll take top three for Yanis fandom. Boring. Spencer, are you a Bucks fan? No, Nuggets fan. Who's the Bucks fan? Yanis is. Oh.

I saw a Bucks fan? No, not his fan. Who's the Bucks fan? Yannis is. I saw a Bucks sweatshirt at Goodwill the other day. Mmm. And I was gonna buy it, but I couldn't remember who the fan was. That'd been awful polite of you. Spencer, I forgot to tell you, I got to go tour behind the scenes of the Timberwolves training facility,

because my friend's friend is the chef for the Timberwolves. Veryves. I got to go behind the scenes to see all the cool stuff. But Goodwill is no longer Goodwill or were you somewhere else? No, it was Goodwill. There's a Goodwill in Belgrade. We went from two to one. What was the coolest thing you saw there Marge? It was the way they can tell, it was like all this camera equipment around the basket looking down just at the basket and how accurate the ball is like touching with inside the rim. And I took a video of it and they're like, you can't share that anywhere. You got to delete that.

So I did. Does everyone have an answer for how many states have a national grassland? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Roman saying seven. Yana says one. Marge says 13. Cory says six, and our two players remaining. We have Seth saying nine and Brody saying four. The correct answer is 12, giving Seth the victory! And Marge was only one off. Those 12 states are California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,

Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, South Dakota, and Wyoming. 12 states have a national grassland. All right, Seth, what are you gonna do with your $500 today? You know, I didn't even think about it, but Because I usually never get to this point, but well with all this public land stuff going on and Mike Lee being a meathead Let's go BHA. That's too nice of a way to describe him. Yeah, he's dickhead Come on $500 going to BHA via Seth. Well done Seth. Woo. Thank you. It's gotta feel good, right? Right before you go, Seth.
