I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Yanis, Brody, Randall, Cal, Alyssa, Logan, and Tate Morgan from Sons of Smoky Outdoor Stewardship. Tate, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me. First thing, tell folks what Sons of Smoky is.

Sons of Smoky is an organization we formed about five years ago that's dedicated to removing trash from public land. So we organize events in association with our other event, the Gambler 500. And then also we've developed an app where anyone hikers, bird watchers, hunters, off-roaders can find trash in the wild, mark it on the app. And then we also use that tool to go out and pick all that trash up. Okay. A lot of good stuff there. Let's talk about the Gambler 500 first. What is it? Ah, it's an off-road navigation rail utilizing a cheap, impractical, fun cars, and we wander the forest looking for trash.

And it's a big party too. And Cal, what was your role in that this year? Oh, my objective was to just show all these other user groups that this very eclectic, loose, fun group of people also exist, and they're excellent stewards of public land. Like they use public lands and there's this huge stewardship aspect to, I think there's 4,000 people in Madras this year. Right? Like, I mean, that's a lot, that's a big group of people to get together. So there's some secret sauce that this guy has put out there and people are reacting to it and people need to know about

it. So that was my objective. And you know, I just felt like it was a very important thing to showcase during like the big public lands fight, right? Yeah. Cal had described it to me as possibly the largest public land trash pickup in the world. You said 4,000 people there. What's the rest of the scale of this trash pickup event? Well, and so I don't know if I could say world because there's some ocean cleanups that go on nationally that might but as far as one particular weekend we've topped out and we've done 450,000 pounds of trash and that includes abandoned cars, RVs, boats. We go for big

stuff. We call it trophy trash. So you roll into camp with a water heater on you instead of a big boil You know water here and everyone claps and throw it in the bin and you go back out and you do it again Tell me about the rest of the trophy trash. What are like the craziest things you guys bring in? I mean right now it's RVs We have a big house house the situation that's happening in Oregon and unfortunately getting pushed out into public lands And so we've got all these abandoned campers that are out there I mean we hauled in about I think about 12 of them this year and we got to pick them apart and get rid of them.

We did 15 abandoned cars and then boats. Boats are always the funniest thing. So like how did this not, it's not on a trailer, just a boat on top of a mountain somewhere. And we haul it, but it's also fun. Cause you could usually haul them out with, you know, Toyota Corolla or something. Yeah. Cal, you, uh, you have some content coming out with Tate, uh, tell folks

when and where they'll get that. Well, hopefully if we can get it put together, well, next week or so on the YouTube channel, the Meat Eater podcast YouTube channel, you'll be able to see some of this. You can always cruise the Sons of Smoking, Gambler 500 Instagram feed as well. But then down the road, whenever the editing schedule allows, there'll be

more of a full length, you know, 30-40 minute, man, there was so much to film. There was so much to film. It might just be a scrolling montage of weird and awesomeness. It was gorgeous the whole time. So trying to keep the, the, the cinneys in line was very hard. It sounds kind of like Burning Man for people who aren't selfish. Exactly. Burning Man was brought up multiple times during this shoot. And every time somebody was like, this is not Burning Man.

Do not associate. Like we clean up after ourselves. Have you guys ever come in behind the rainbow gathering? No, never. But I heard, yeah, I know that that's kind of a big issue. We're slightly more organized and functional than that group of misfits. No, I'm saying like come in to clean up after them.

No, no. And yeah, I mean, I don't even know where they are these days. They bounce around. Yeah, no, no. And yeah, I mean, I don't even know where they are these days. They bounce around. They bounce around. There are a few like the Cascade Relay and a few sporting like sports events where people run or bike and stuff that people ask us to come in after them because they like how these people trash this place. Water bottles and ditches everywhere. And yeah, that's, that's, that's not our gig. So yeah. Ronnie's crushing cups on his head and throwing them off the side.

Well, I mean, it is a party. I mean, we'd have like 10 bands out there and a bunch of vendors and you know, there's some pops consumed, you know, at night and stuff. And so it's a good mix. That's great. Good stuff. Who's Smokey? Smokey, we wanted to make it sound like,

kind of like more treacherous, kind of like bite, like a intimidate litter bugs. And so the sons of Smokey, like, you know, but you know, at the end of the day, we're just sons of anarchy was taken. Yeah. Let me play on that. And the sun, you know, sun is smoking the bear, the smoky mountains. Just, okay. Yeah. I like it. Tate, welcome to the show. Now this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters, four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing now take what are your strengths and weaknesses in trivia?

That's about hunting fishing conservation and cooking I'm a jack of all trades, but yeah, I'm a deer and elk hunter, you know big public land guy out here up in Oregon So I usually bring home at least you know one of So I audit your guys' content so I know some stuff but I probably never know. Alright for the housekeeping section, Phil and Randall did bar trivia last night. What was the result? Well, it's kind of an interesting evening. Oh, okay, wow. Yeah, thank you, Phil.

So we decided at the very last minute to play trivia at a local watering hole at 6 p.m. And at 6.05, it was plain to us that trivia was not in fact happening. Despite it being advertised on their website. Were you the only ones waiting for trivia? Yes, yes. So in any event, it was Phil, myself and our lovely wives

and we deliberated on whether or not we could stay out long enough to go to an eight o'clock trivia game at another watering hole. Four rounds, great trivia, really phenomenal questions. We were playing against a table of some 10 odd people. Hold on, hold on, so you did make it to the 8 p.m. We did, yes. Migrate, it's called an audible. Yeah, we played against a table of some 10 odd people. Hold on, hold on. So you did make it to the 8 p.m. We did, yes. Migrate, it's called an audible.

Yeah, we played against a table of some 10 people. Against the rules, right? Neck and, no, they don't limit that. No, they don't limit that. What they do. But morally, it's against. Yeah, and morally, there was a moment in time during the second round, which was very difficult.

And a gentleman came out of the restroom and stood over our table, like belly to our answer sheet and glanced at the answer sheet, glanced at the TV and I just thought well maybe this is some hapless fool who's bumbling about the world without any sense of how people perceive his actions and I'll just let him go on his merry way without saying anything and then he in fact was a member of that big team and so he hovered over our answer sheet until Sydney told me later that she gave him like a glare. And that's when he actually left our table and he went and sat down right next to him. So. It turns out they were our closest rivals. We were neck and neck through the whole game.

But we saved our, you know, you can double your best round and we saved our double star until the very end. What category? Biopics or biopics. And we did a clean sweep there. Oh my. 40 points. We didn't even use the mulligan that we could have used at any one of the four rounds. So. Dominant. It felt really good actually. It was challenging and you know, it's not at all fun if you don't win. Yeah, especially since we weren't, we almost didn't go because we were a bunch of early birds. And then I just liked to, we won,

we won a $50 bar tab. Oh, a little show and tell. And we'd already settled our bar tab. So I went to the bar and I said, hey, can we just have like as many unopened beers as you can give me for 50 bucks? They're ice cold. Okay. They're ice cold.

So if anybody would like one, Phil, you want to pop? Oh, please. I am so glad I didn't make fun of that story. Sydney and I walked out of Molly Brown's last night with an arm full of beers and what a great day. They make you use the tab the night that you win. And so I was about to call the store boys and just say you guys wanna come, because we had had enough, you know.

It was 10 p.m., past our bedtime, and I almost called the store boys and said, you guys wanna chew up a $50 tab here at Molly Brown, but they were kind enough to give us some road beers So kind yeah good on you. So cheers. Well done. Yeah, well done Phil. How many questions did you get wrong? The first round we got one question wrong the second round we got three wrong Oh, the third round was a weird one because it was in like a mix. There's a big pool of points you can anybody else We finished with a 92 out of a hundred and the second place team had 90. Yeah the third round you had to match decades to events without um and they didn't repeat so it

was like if you got one wrong you got two wrong but then you could get bonus points by naming the exact date. So that's when we really made up some ground. And then in the final round, I mean, it was a storybook finish. I love how Spencer's trying to move the show along and Randall's not having it. The only thing that made it better, Randall, is if you and Phil would have gotten a bar fight with your rival team. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Sounds like you were close. Nearly came to blows had he not pulled it out in the end. Does it give you some confidence then coming into trivia? No, not at all. No, not at all. Okay. I Yeah, I saw a comment this morning said Ben Randall's been just sucking But it did I do have a little extra pep in my step today although Spencer was telling us that on trivia days, you actually have a hard time accomplishing your other work because the stress level is so high.

I said that. I was just trying to get this ahead before the game. Oh, is that true? Not really. I mean, I... Oh, okay. So why do you sit by yourself in your vehicle all day? Listening to my tapes, my self-help tapes. It's more productive actually. No, it's just a real treasure to be able to play with you guys every week. Listening to my tapes, my self help tapes. More productive.

No, it's just a real treasure to be able to play with you guys every week. So I look forward to it. If anything, I'm distracted by the excitement. Well done. What a victory for you and Phil. Yeah, so that's probably not going to make it on TV. No, it's not going to make the 22 minute TV cut. That's just for our audio and YouTube audience. Let's not be presumptuous here. Alright, the Shelby Index for today is a 4, so our winners should get 8 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? Just tend to win every game. Refreshing. Game on suckers! How many roadies did that $50 get you? Uh, eight.

Eight. Ouch. Now you know for next time. Question one. The topic is natural history and this will be multiple choice. In what city is the Field Museum of Natural History? Is it Chicago, San Francisco, El Paso, or Boston? I can't believe this is a multiple choice.

In what city is the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, San Francisco, El Paso, Boston. Brody's still thinking about it. Brody, do you have this one right? I don't know, we'll find out. In what city is the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, San Francisco, El Paso, or Boston? Why are you picking on me already, Spencer? Well, Cal declared it was easy and you were the one still thinking.

That's why I asked. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying San Francisco, Yanis, and Randall, and Logan, and Alyssa, and Cal, and Brody, saying Chicago. They got it. The correct answer is Chicago so only one person the room got it wrong. That's right Yeah, if you look you can see I'd wiped off Chicago Cal got in your head the Field Museum is one of the largest natural history museums in the world It sits on the shore of Lake Michigan and gets over 2 million visitors each year. They have 40 million specimens and artifacts in their collection and are known for their library of 275,000 books on the subjects

of biology, ecology, geology, and archaeology. Logan, how many field trips did you take there as a kid? You know, I don't remember exactly. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry this last holiday break and that was awesome. The MSI. Yeah, I think like as a kid, I don't remember how much like reading was involved in museums and I was like, wow, you have to like read a lot when you're at museums.

Who else has been to the Field Museum? Unless you go to them in foreign countries where you don't speak the language. Yanni and Cal have been to the Field Museum. How about, and Randall? Yes, yes. Okay, any highlights to share from your field museum trip? Wines of Saba were there the Hope diamond was there when I was there

They have a they have a large I think it's a brachiosaurus on display at the O'Hare Airport and a little field museum Gift stand as well. So I mean it is well well Yeah, it's it's awesome. Question two. The topic is hunting. Canine infectious respiratory disease complex, which is a highly contagious illness for dogs is more commonly known by this name. Canine infectious respiratory disease Complex, which is a highly contagious illness for dogs, is more commonly known by this name.

Brody and Randall, quick to answer, Yanni with a blank whiteboard. You spent some money at the vet in your day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just funded that vet. All recently, all just recently. Did you do another round? No no no. Oh, okay. Yeah, he's funded that vet all recently all just recently Did you do another round? No, no, no. Okay from last winter Canine infectious respiratory disease complex, which is a highly contagious illness for dogs is more commonly known by this name

Weren't you gonna double the the number your pack? Yannis? Thought you were gonna get another one. Yeah, yeah, it's a work in progress. Waiting for the right one to come along? No, just waiting for the A-OK from the leader of our home pack, you know? Okay, very good. Are you looking for something a little smaller, takes up a little less space?

Oh, 100%. Yeah. Half, half size of my horse. Who thinks he's a dog. Or maybe he's the other way around. Still waiting on Yanni to come up with an answer. Everybody else has an answer? Are there six players who have an answer?

Oh man, come on. Just give me one dog sickness. That's all I need. Just one dog sickness. That's all I need. Just one doggy car. Canine infectious respiratory disease complex, which is a highly contagious illness for dogs. It's more commonly known by this name. Janice.

He's coming up with his answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying Corona Kurti Serti Randall says kennel cough Logan barking cough Alyssa parvo Cal kennel cough Brody kennel cough

the correct answer is Kennel cough think we had three or four. Our players get that one right. Kennel cough affects more than five million dogs each year. As the name suggests, dogs are most at risk when they're around a lot of other dogs at kennels, shelters, and daycares. Classic symptoms include runny nose, sneezing, and frequent coughing that's been described as honking and gagging. Typically dogs fully recover within a week. Who has experience with kennel cough in here? And I didn't get it right.

And you didn't get it right. How bad was it Brody when kennel cough? Wasn't bad, a lot of noise. If you're around a dog who gets it bad, I mean it sounds horrible. Yeah, it sounds real bad. Yeah, the worst part about it was when Rosie got kennel cough We were living in a camper

Get away from the noise. Did you have your whole pack at that time? Just just two? Okay, but both of them get it No, just Rosie got it. I don't think Arlo got it. But yeah, he was he was not a camper sized dog. So We don't double check if canine Corona is not a camper-sized dog. So, you know, can we double check if canine corona is not also known? Canine corona, kennel car. Question three, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Tim Finnegan. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species,

such as white rhinos and wood bison. Our room is stumped. Question three, this type of AI has been used to save imperiled species, such as white rhinos and wood bison. The topic is conservation. We have seven blank white boards in the room. Brody and Randall now coming up with an answer.

I thought this was the one place where I'd be safe from any discussion of AI which seems to have permeated all all discourse. Geez. Topic is conservation. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. So are you suggesting that the AI is the thing that saved these species because these species Would buy a son it's held specifically mm-hmm like They would have been long dead. It's been a it's been a tool that helped save these imperiled species This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. Does anyone like their answer? I do. Okay, Yanni does. I do. He's the only player. I like mine. Okay, if this AI is a Labrador Retriever, do you need a

dog? Do you need a black Labrador? I'm not going to give any further hints. Everything you need is right there. I know for a fact that this type of AI has been used to save the white rhino. So if this is wrong, we're going to take last night's never happened bar fight and make it happen. So you have to name the AI. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species. I mean, this isn't a stupid... Such as white rhinos... Dinos is so proud of himself.

Phil, is this a problematic question? I'm not saying anything. How's that? How's that? Brewed on. Oh, ice cold and refreshing. Thank you. Janice, very satisfied.

Good girl. Good big smile and a lot of giggling over there Oh, yeah, this type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison Do our other players give up? I'm officially giving up. I'm Like a type of AI or a company Go ahead and reveal your answers We have tate without an answer. Yannis says artificial insemination. Randall says genetic modeling. Logan, generative AI. Alyssa, chat

GPT. Cal, chat GPT. Brody without an answer. Yannis got it. The correct answer is artificial insemination. AI. I would have added quotation marks. That's a dirty, that's a dirty, dirty, dirty trick. Artificial insemination has been used on everything from pandas to killer whales to black-footed ferrets. The first successful AI with a wild animal was a wolf in 1973. Besides increasing populations, it's a tool to help create more genetic diversity. And he has the honest reference. You know I've done that to a dairy cow before.

I have. I've done that. I know. I'm always up in there. Well, where did you get that opportunity? My buddy's uncle ran a dairy farm that he hunted on and one day he was like, I wanna give her a try.

Having a couple of cold pops at the end of the day. Elbow deep. That's right. I worked on a farm cow. We'd preg check the cows and they would call it AI. They didn't say artificial insemination. They ain't got time for that. They say AI.

I would have used quotation marks. This type of AI. That's brutal. Well done. Good job, Janus. Good job. And as Janus was saying, the white rhino, I believe it's the northern herd that's got two left, and they stuck one of those in a southern herd white rhino, so it may be what saves those.

They stuck one of those in a southern herd, yeah. Question four! The topic is wildlife. I knew it was a dirty question, but I didn't want to say it because I felt like that was going to be a good tip. Good job. Good job. Yep. They just lubed up that Northern white rhino. Mm-hmm. Damned her in there.

Audubon calls this songbird the, quote, master mimic thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls. Again, this is question four. Audubon calls this songbird the master mimic thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls I'm gonna invite you guys on my trivia show next I think that's the first time that you've legitimately pulled a dirty trick on it's a type of AI

Um, I know I thought half of you would get it. I thought you'd have the honest reaction where you'd giggle. It was for sure. If that were a crossword clue published in the New York Times, it would have had quotation marks around it. They might steal this from us and we'll see what they do then. Audubon calls this song bird. Hey Tate, we would love to join your trivia show. The master mimic thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls. I ran around and talked to a bunch of people at the Gambler and you know I'd be like oh cool car tell me about it and then they'd really start telling me about it and I was just like uh-ohoh. Uh-huh. Knew nothing. Nothing about what they were talking about. It's like listening to Spencer and Randall talk NBA. Right, exactly.

Yeah. And just kind of got to nod and wait for it to finish. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying Mockingbird. Oh, God. Janice says Stellar's Jay. Randall, parakeet.

Logan, Mockingbird. Alyssa, Mockingbird. Cal, Stellar's Jay, Randall, Parakeet, Logan, Mockingbird, Alyssa, Mockingbird, Cal, Mockingjay, Brody, Mockingbird. The correct answer is the Mockingbird. What do you think we do about Cal? He did the fictitious bird from The Hunger Games.

Jay's our type of bird. In The Hunger Games, that is a mocking, it's the Mockingjay is not, that's a type of bird. In the Hunger Games, that is a mocking, it's the mocking J is not, that's a Hunger Games bird. Oh, cause I watch a lot of Hunger Games. You got that answer from somewhere and it's not real life. Is it a mocking bird in the J family? I thought the mocking bird is in the J family. It must've been AI'd into your brain somehow.

I know, somebody looped it up and shoved it in there. Well, the Google AI says, no, a mockingbird and a mockingjay are not the same thing. A mockingbird is a real bird while a mockingjay is a fictional hybrid bird from the home games. Just for argument's sake. Mockingjays are a result of a genetic cross between a mockingbird and a jabberjay. Mocking.

You would have taken it. Um, well you didn't. But I just want the audience to know at home. This would have been an acceptable answer. They should also know that the Stellar's jay also has a whole bunch of different calls. They're not the master mimic and they don't imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls. I think specifically it's hawks. Not hawks. Hundreds? The book wasn't called To Kill a Mockingjay Cal. No it wasn't. The Northern Mockingbird is the state bird of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and formerly South Carolina. It's thought they mimic other birds to claim territory and

attract mates. Studies have found that they most often imitate cardinals, bluebirds and wrens and never imitate doves or sparrows. Question 5 The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Dustin Fair. For sending this great question, Dustin 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 TheMeedeator.com. This brand says they quote sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 Flasher in 1989. This brand says they sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8

flasher in 1989. We have a stumped room again. Yannis, do you have this one right? I know the name of one company that makes these flashers and I've written it down. This brand says they started the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 flasher in 1989. I only know one fishing brand, so it's pretty easy. Just look at that one. Here we go. Go with your gut.

Cal, do you have this one right? No, I mean, it's kind of the same way Tate picked. This brand says they sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 flasher in 1989. This is question five. So we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Brody, how are you doing over here? Not good.

I'm just trying to like picture a flasher in my head. It's like not working out. Like no words. You don't think you owned one of these? No, I've never had a flasher in my head. It's like not working out. Like no words. You don't think you owned one of these? No, I've never had a flasher. I just use like a fish finder that also has a flasher on the screen. Do you think you would be more successful if you showed up at 8 30 in the morning and sat in your vehicle drinking coffee and just really thought about it until game time?

Maybe. Might come to me. Drinking coffee and just really thought about it until game time maybe Might come to me listening. Dr. Wayne. It smells like someone's been drinking coffee all day in here. Mm-hmm There you go. Mm-hmm. There's lights right now I'll pick me if I show up in the studio right after someone else got done recording the microphone will often smell like coffee So that happened again today will often smell like coffee. So, that happened again today. Brody, do you give up? Okay, Randall, do you give up?

Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, Vexlar. What's that say, Tate? Opial. Janis says Vexlar. Randall without an answer. Logan says Garmin.

Alyssa without an answer. Cal says Hummingbird. Logan says Garmin. Alyssa without an answer. Cal says Hummingbird. Brody says Lawrence. The correct answer is Vexlar. Yeah, good job. The three-color FL-8 took the market by storm with its rechargeable battery and unique carrying case. They say this was the first sonar system that directly targeted ice fishermen. It also gave birth to the next generation of Vexlar flashers such as the FL-18 and FL-8 SLT. We could only get two colors up here in Montana.

Oh, he did have three colors. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update halfway through the game. Everyone's on the board, but at halftime, no one is in line with the Shelby index. We've got Tate with one point and then Randall, Logan, Alyssa and Cal. All have two points apiece and tied up in first place are Janis, Patelus and Brody Henderson with three points. You should check out Molly Brown trivia. Okay.

They run, they run a tight ship there. It's good. It's good. I don't like all the math you guys were coming up like. Like bonus points and worth double and it's not that hard. Sounds terrible. It's not that hard. Sounds horrible. It's not that hard.

I still want you to use that artificial inseminator machine to tell me if canine corona and kennel cough are the same thing. Okay, I will Google that after this next question. What's hibernation and why do some mammals hibernate? When animals vocalize, what are they saying and what does it mean? Which critter has sharp projections inside their mouths which aren't teeth that hold prey? Meteor Kids is back for season 3.

We're going to learn a bunch of neat things about nature and wildlife that you can tell your friends, your school, and your parents about. We're going to give you the hard-hitting answers, kids, for why things are the way they are. Hyperphagia. Man, that's a big word. And you better get ready for Guess That Critter. This noise is often made by a female when she is watching the young and asking her mate to come back soon with food. And for our play-along kids trivia, the correct answer is 7. Everybody got that one right!

Search Meat Eater Kids and hit that follow button now! Question 6. The topic is woodsmanship. The Blank Field Guides, which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants, and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934. The Blank Field Guides, which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants, and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934. Man, it jumped into my head, but now I'm second guessing myself. That was happening in the last question and Spencer kept repeating the question. It's like, goddamn it, you stop talking. Maybe it'll come to me. I'm gonna leave it, I think. Maybe it'll come to me. Hmm.

I'm gonna leave it, I think. I got a handful of these things on the bookshelf at home. I know, but I also have the other ones. Right. Ha ha ha ha ha. Which one is older? The Blank Field Guides, which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants, and mushrooms.

Published in their first book in 1934, it does not look like canine corona is the same as kennel cough. Does anyone feel good about their answer for this one? I feel good but I... yeah but I feel... do we get an index on this bad boy? It's a four. So some of you may lose to Shelby this week. The blank field guides, which helped layman identify birds, insects, plants, and mushrooms published their first book in 1934. Could definitely use when I am a layman. You know, Spencer, I was wondering earlier if you're ever going get big enough to get yourself a real-time fact-checker

So you don't have to do it. I wish I had one that would be convenient Do you think some of these are wrong or what? Oh, I don't think you care that much I Care too much. I work myself into a pretzel sometimes The blank field guides which help layman identify, plants, and mushrooms published their first book in 1934. Of a lot of folks reach out and ask how to get into foraging mushrooms or rockhounding, these field guides are a great way to start. Oh, yeah. I have two answers and I don't know which one. Is everybody ready? Do you have one picked? Janis? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

I know I'm wrong. We have Tates saying farmers. Janis says Sibley. Randall. You don't have an answer, Randall? Without an answer. Logan says mycologist. Alyssa says blue.

Cal, without an answer. And Brody says Petersons. Nobody had my other answer, so. What was your other answer? Audubon. The correct answer is Peterson. Brody. Oh, Brody. Good job. Got that's good. What was your other answer? Audubon. The correct answer is Peterson. Brody! Got that one right. The first book was the Field Guide to Birds which has been followed up by 50 more books since then. Some volumes cover niche subjects such as a field guide to eastern butterflies while others are broad such as a field guide to the stars and planets, these books can be a great time capsule with a field guide to freshwater fish,

adding 114 previously unrecognized species between the first and second edition. The only thing I could think of was Audubon, and based on the last question referencing Audubon, I didn't think that was a worthwhile answer to write down. That is the Peterson Field Guide. Four in a row for old Randy. Oh boy, but last night was fun, wasn't it, Randy? I'm still enjoying it actually, sip by sip.

The highs and lows of a trivia man. Is the Peterson Field Guide what you have at home, bro? We have some of them, yeah. For what topic? We have birds, I think we have a fish one, like a saltwater fish one maybe. Good books. Question seven, the topic is cooking.

This next great question is via Michael Fletcher. This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. And foul is F-O-W-L for the folks who are listening instead of watching. Oh, so now you put quotation marks. This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. Now, if I had quotation marks on A.I., I don't know that it would have helped any of you. Randall, do you think that you would have been like, oh, it's artificial insemination? Because I would have known that it wasn't a I wouldn't know

that you're not looking for a type of artificial intelligence. But he's a crosswords man. This is the world. He's also a doctor. Well, it fooled all of us. So don't go poking fun at Randall. No, what I'm saying that that being in quotation marks doesn't mean the same thing to somebody who's not a crosswords person. Well, anything in quotation marks, it's practically saying like, so-called AI. It's to imply that it's not actually what you're talking to somebody who's In the system, I think anybody like if I wrote if I wrote in a text to you Spencer's a real expert trivia host that I put expert quotation marks. Yeah, you'd understand the implication

Like somebody once called Spencer an expert. That's a quote. Yeah, real Einstein. All right, this is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. Speaking of being lubed up and elbow deep, I watched my stepdad get one of these in the San Juan Islands, and he was fighting it for about 30 minutes.

That's him. No regional hints, Phil. Well, yeah, since Phil has said said it now Tate being from Oregon this is basically a bone I'm throwing this. Was Phil the guy who came out of the bathroom in your story? Hovered over an answer sheet. Phil did come out of the bathroom a lot. Whoa, I've got a tiny bladder. Yeah No, I didn't want to bring that up I thought I could get a laugh. I thought I'd get a laugh and I sacrificed our trust.

The camera fell. The camera is... Oh, yeah, hold on. We've got a lot of problems here. Can I use phonetic spelling on this or is there a risk? Spelling does not count unless you put J instead. Is that another hint? This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name Got a lot of confident players, but not Yanni this time who I think

Leading what no, I think Brody's late. He's got a he's got a yeah Brody has a one-point lead. Oh really Yeah with the Petersons field guys I Do yes It's really simple Brody's doing a lot of erasing too. Well, I figured there's no reason to complicate things Okay, I'll explain everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying gooey duck Janice duck Randall gooey duck Logan foul clam

Alyssa clucker Cal and Brody saying gooey duck. That's the correct answer gooey duck and it's spelled G E O Duck G E O D U C K. I got both the phonetic had it right. Yeah, that's great announced and it's spelled G-E-O duck. G-E-O-D-U-C-K. I got both the phonetic. You had it right. Yeah, that's great. Pronounced gooey duck. I'll point out that Cal said goey duck.

These animals are also known as elephant clams and king clams. They can weigh several pounds and live for 150 years. They cost about $30 per pound and are said to taste slightly sweet and briny. Gooey ducks are often eaten raw as sashimi or ceviche or cooked in a stir fry or hot pot. Who's eating gooey ducks? You go after those things?

No. Never have. I think I have. Just steamers and, um, yeah, we clam a little bit, not gooey ducks. So. Randall thinks he's eating a gooey duck. Sydney's from the Pacific Northwest She's a big fan of

Clams and other shellfish. How was that gooey duck? Maybe cooked. I don't remember Okay way back when I was working in that part of the country. I Called him Geo ducks. Hmm, and that's a good way to get yourself Ostracized in a bar. Yeah, the only reason I remember this term is because it was used in front of me and I had no idea what it was. Like I was 26 years old as an Ohio man and I just had never heard of a gooey duck. I feel like this is a strong case for a half point Spencer. That's a zero point answer. answer question eight the topic is conservation

these treaties which were signed in switzerland in 1949 make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam well here's a bone for the old history doctor i was about to i was about to point out earlier that we haven't gotten any good history questions in a while. Oh, well, this is a conservation question, technically. These treaties, which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam. Also, the first question day was about a natural history

museum. Yeah, that's not history, though. The best history. I like that question like that question though. Okay. I like it better like this one questions about flashers Actually, there's someone in the chat today on the on the live stream I said he said Randall the as soon as you answer a question about birds correctly. I'll become a random Well clearly the mockingbird Is that your weakness? Well, clearly the mockingbird. Uh huh. These treaties, which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another

country's dam. This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. Randall, very confident. Tate, do you have this one right? I believe I do. Okay. How about you have this one right? I believe I do. Okay, how about you Brody? I think I got a chance. These treaties, which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam. Is everybody ready? Janis? Sure.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Go on, there you go. The T. Go on. Geneva Conventions. Giannis says Paris. Randall, Geneva Convention. Logan, Geneva Treaties. Alyssa, without an answer. Cal, Rosalee. Brody, Geneva Conventions.

The correct answer is Geneva Conventions. We'll give it to you, Logan, for having Geneva. The Geneva Conventions. We'll give it to you Logan for having Geneva. The Geneva Conventions are international laws that establish legal standards for humanitarian treatment in war. According to Article 56 of Additional Protocol 1, militaries aren't allowed to attack dams and dikes if there's a chance they'll release dangerous forces onto civilians. The most deadly single act of war ever involved a levy that was destroyed on the Yellow River in China during World War II, which caused nearly a million people to die.

Phil, let's get a scoreboard update with two questions to go. Ah, that's bad. Here we are. Jeez. I don't think I got a single question right since the last update, Randall. We're gonna cut right to the chase. Brody is ahead with six points and in second place is Randall Williams with four. Brody's got a pretty solid shot, but we'll see if he chokes in the last.

Brody gets question nine correct. He will have security victory. You have good ones there? Question nine, the topic is fishing. Oh, classic. Textbook. Oh, that's a textbook. Hardee and Fenwick were the first brands to use this eight letter material for fishing rods. Hardee and Fenwick were the first brands to use this eight letter material for fishing rods. You need an extra marker? Found one.

Again, this is question nine. If Brody gets this right, the game will be over. Hmm, that's too many letters. I think it's too many letters, Brody. Brody, do you have this one right? I don't know. Hardy and Benwick were the first brands to use this eight-letter material for fishing rods. Yanis, you have this one right? I believe so.

Tough back half of the game. Ooh, very, very tough. I've said it before, I need the universe to align in your head and for those questions to be right up my alley to pull out the dub. Randall, do you have this one right? I do. I am so embarrassed. Eight-letter material.

Geneva Convention. I'd be more embarrassed by Spencer's pronunciation of Versailles. Versailles? That was embarrassing. I get nervous. I get nervous when I see whiteboards. I mean, you could have at least gone with the Versailles, which is the As treaty Famous one. Yeah Hardy as a generous were the first brands to use this eight-letter material. Oh, listen last-minute change. Okay. Mm-hmm eight letter word Everybody ready Well, there's one way to go. Is everybody ready?

Logan? It's not right, but yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying bamboo. Graphite. Janis says graphite. Randall, graphite. Logan, plastics.

Alyssa, Aluminum. Cal and Brody say graphite. They got it the correct answer is graphite. Hardy and Fenwick started making graphite fishing rods in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The early models cost as much as $150, which would be over $1,000 today. Graphite rods excel when it comes to being lightweight and sensitive but are also some of the

easiest to break. All right here's the correct answer review so far one was Chicago, two Kennelkopf, three artificial insemination, four Mockingbird, five Wexlar, six Peterson, seven Gooey Duck, eight Geneva Con conventions, and nine, Graphite. Brody has secured the victory. We'll see if he can get the Shelby Index with the 10th and final question. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ryan Luthey, who faxed me this question. Nice. Faxed? You faxed Simile? Sent me a fax. Here or at your house? Because if you have a fax in your house. It's a fax that comes in via email. Right. Which we've learned is an Amish way to communicate with the show. Nice. All right. What does PRC stand for when referring to 65 PRC, 7 PRC and 300 PRC? Again, the topic is hunting. What does PRC stand for when referring to the 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, and 300 PRC? Now that's a question.

That's a question. Randall's got some confidence. He's had a strong second half of the game, but couldn't quite catch up to Brody. Let's add another round or two, huh? Uh-huh. He's got anywhere to go. Brody, you have this one right. In my head I do, but I could,

we got plenty of beers to do another round. Are we gonna share the seventh and eighth one that Randall brought with? There's only one left. Oh, one left, okay. We could pass it around and see if it makes it back. I tried to give it to Phil earlier surreptitiously, but he declined so anybody need a refill What does PRC stand for when referring to the 6-5 PRC? 7 PRC and 300 PRC

Do you own any of these guns Randall? I? Do not okay, I do not okay I do not hmm do you know much about the PRC family oh I sure do I like that six five PRC that's a good yeah I'd love to get one of those and to the universe. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying precision rifle cartridge. Janice and Randall. And Logan with the same answer.

Alyssa says precision round caliber. Cal says pretty round, what's that say? Cake? Case. Pretty round case. And Brody says precision rebated cartridge. The correct answer is the precision rifle cartridge. We had four players get that one right.

Brody did not, but it doesn't matter. He is our winner. Brody's confusing that with the RPM. RPM. RPM. Well that's. Hornady introduced the 6.5 PRC in 2017, 300 PRC in 2018, and 7 PRC in 2022. What these cartridges have in common are sharp shoulders and minimum body tapers.

The PRC series was designed for long range shots at the range and in the field. Tell me more about the PRC, Randall. Well, I mean, they're optimized to shoot the heavy for caliber projectiles that are so popular today among precision rifle shooters. So like the 300 PRC is really designed around the 225 ELDM. And yeah, I mean you look at like a cartridge like the 300 Win Mag, the PRC's got a little more ass, but if you look at just sort of a factory 300 wind mag it's not throated properly in the barrel twist Oftentimes isn't enough to get the real high heavy heavyweight projectiles Spinning at a proper rate Randall an aspiring PRC owner. Yeah wink

All right, bro. These are winner with seven correct answers. Brody, what are you going to do with that $500 today? I'm assuming you guys could use a few bucks. Yeah, always. Always. Here we go. We'd love it. We'd put it to good use. Sons of Smokey.

Get some tires and trash in the dumpsters. Yeah. Sons of Smokey. Thank you very much. I imagine getting rid of all that garbage is not cheap. No, no. How do you pull that off? Well, we have a lot of good partners.

The Bronco Wild Fund, the Ford Motor Company comes in and they give us a large chunk a year to do app development and then throw away trash. We've had one year with $35,000 to get rid of all the trash we collected. Wow. It was bonkers. We participated in pulling this camper off a BLM and it had been totally stripped of, of like scrap metal, right? So no axles or wheels or anything. And, and the crew that we were with, they'd spent a bunch of time fabricating things specifically to get this thing off of public land. And there's just tons of trash associated with it. And it was this big effort.

And then it was $2,500 to dispose of that thing at the dump. Damn. Yeah. Most of the time we sit there and we tear them down ourselves, but in that case we didn't have, it would have taken four hours to dismantle it and camp it so big. It's like 35 feet or something. Do folks ever find something that they want to take home? Like, I'm going to fix up this RV.

Yeah, they're welcome to it. This is my camper. Yeah. Does it happen though? Here and there, more C-car parts, you've got a story to tell well Yeah, when we were going out and scavenging I needed a the bowtie emblem for my Chevy And lo and behold perfect dig through enough stuff that bowtie emblem pops right up. So I took that home $500 going to the sons of smoky outdoor stewardship.

Tate, thanks for joining us. Thanks for playing. Thanks for having me. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. Thanks Spencer. Thank you. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.
