I'm your host, Brody-Henerson, and today I'm joined by Stephen Renella, Spencer Newark, Randall Williams, Seth Morris, Logan Dove ain't here, um, Tressa Kroker, and Roman, how do you say your last name, Roman?

Snowbrick. That's what it looks like. I didn't want to mess it up. Do it again? Snowbrick. Yeah, I didn't know. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters, four verticals, kind of, which are loosely based on. Yeah. Hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there's a prize. Meteor will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Okay, stat of the week this week. The stat of the week is the number 10. That's right.

We're doing an entire episode, all 10 questions of listener submitted questions. The answer is 10. And I'd like to point out that Spencer has no faith in you, our faithful listeners. When I asked him about doing this, he said it couldn't be done because he has to weed through hundreds of listener questions just to get a few usable ones. I realize now he's probably just concerned about his own job

security because I got a bunch of great questions. All of these are listener questions? I had the same idea for the episode I'm hosting next. Well, I had the idea that because I hang out with Brody that I would sort of know what he's thinking and I'll get him all right. But now it's not even Brody's questions. I think the questions I like

so you're halfway there. You're listening to your podcast. You'd be like me and Steve would like that question. Yeah, exactly. Um, yeah, a bunch of good questions. I did have to tweak and reword most of them, but I still think they're great. It was like a little dig, like a little subtle dig at people. Well, yeah. Of course I had to rewrite everything.

Well, yeah. Some of them worked out better at, you know, a little differently. Um, if you don't like them, don't blame me, blame your fellow listeners. Oh, good idea. Okay. This is a masterful strategy. We don't have any housekeeping to address today, but we do have an infrequently asked question segment.

If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia at the Mediator.com with the subject line, IFAQ. This week, our IFAQ was submitted by our very own Stephen Ronella. That's not true. It is true, and I'll get to it. The question Steve asked me before the game was,

Who is playing? When I told him Randall was playing, he then went and asked, Randall to sit this one out so he could quote, come down there and kick everyone's ass. It's not a question we've had before. It didn't work? Yeah, you're right. That is an I-F-A-Q.

Okay, we're going to get on to the game here. The carry index for today is a four and a half, but she submitted one of the questions. Oh, wow. So you've got to nix that one, so our winner should get at least a seven. 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 everything. Game on, suckers. Okay. Our first listener question comes from Christy Elliott. The category is fishing. got it phil 10 states list this game fish as their state fish is it a channel catfish b muskalunge c brook trout d tarpin 10 states

did your wife DM you brodie heard a question no i'll get to how the whole thing happened it's a good story mm all right hmm hmm It was faded to be the way it is. Ten states list this game fish as their state fish. Channel catfish. Muscalunge. Brooke trout. Steve, you got a microphone over there.

I feel like I know it. Really, your hair looks particularly disheveled today. Is that a good sign or a bad sign? Well, I just tuck off the beanie. It occurred me the other day with his be on. He looks like, oh, you're there. He looks like a hockey fan. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Like, he's really into hockey. Mm-hmm. Like, that goes to the place, not from home. Okay. Like, goes to the game. How much do you like hockey? Can't say I'm a huge hockey fan.

You look like one. I don't dislike it. I haven't been to a game in years. Two years. Okay, is everyone ready? Oh, no. Reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Brooke Trout,

Spencer, Brook Trout, Randall, what does that say, Randall? Catfish. Catfish. Roman Channel catfish, Tressa, Brook trout, Steve Brookie. The answer is, Brook trout. Most popular state fish in the country. Yep. A total of 10 states designate the brook trout as their official fish.

Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Coming in at second place are the striped bass and cutthroat trout trout. Each is listed as a state fish in seven states. New Englanders, they like that brook trout. Oh, yeah, man. It's a cool fish. I hate them out here.

I like them back there. If you could, uh... I don't hate them, but... Picture you could make it to all states got rid of their state fish. And then you erased all memory of it. And they got to pick a new one. Right. It wouldn't be the same.

No, because half the states don't really have many of them anymore. They wouldn't be Brookies anymore. Yeah. You'd have some Channel Cat states. Yep. Yep. And they did a lot of these back in like the 40s and 50s. You'd have like 18 large miles states.

A bunch of walleye states. And that Ohio would get one. I think they're the one state. There's maybe one or two states that don't even have a state fish. Really? Ohio or Indiana. Didn't Ohio just declare walleye maybe? I don't know.

They might have. I think they've tried. Lake Erie. Lake Erie. Oh, sorry. Put in Bay. I feel like catfish would be a good one for Ohio. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Clearly I was thinking hopefully when I... Yeah. For this state, I'd go mountain white fish, man. Yeah, that'd be good. A native. Yellowstone cut.

I don't even know what... It's a Westlope cut here, isn't it? Oh, good question. Anyway, number two. This question, next question is from Hunter Hodson. And it's also... tied to a section of a new book. Me and Steve are currently working on. The category

is history. Cornelia Flyrod Crosby became this New England state's first registered hunting and fishing guide. My marker isn't working. How do you get a marker around here? So this does strike

me as a bone for Steve. Why? How is this a hole for me? He hasn't read. Trust me. He has not seen this section of the book that I've worked on yet. Oh. What? I know this and it's not why you think I know it. Well, I just liked it when Brody said, he read the question and he said, this is actually, comes from a book that Steve and I are I knew. I knew he had not seen this yet. You don't know how I know it. Oh, wow. You don't know how I know

this. I've been fully supportive of you losing the headphones in the podcast studio, but I might ask you to put him back on. Your mic technique is just dog shit. Slouching. He wants to say, halfway between the mic and his sandwich. What's what I'm trying to do? You put the sandwich on the table. Cornelia Flyrod Crosby became this New England state's first registered hunting and fishing guide.

People still thinking? You know it, Randall? I think so. He thought he knew catfish too. I don't think he did. I wrote it, I scribbled it as you were revealing the boards. I was still thinking between Brook Trout and Catfish. Everybody ready?

Tressa, no answer. Just pick a New England state. You might get lucky. You got the first one right, didn't you? Everybody reveal their answers. Seth Maine, Spencer Maine, Randall Maine, Roman Maine, Tressa doesn't know a New England state and Steve's got Maine. Okay. Do we all know it because did she kill the last character?

Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Jesus Christ. You're not hosting. Spencer. Sorry. It's too much fun over here. On March 19th, 1897, the Maine legislature passed a bill requiring hunting guides to register a state.

Cornelia Flyrod Crosby was Maine's first registered hunting and fishing guide. In 1899, Crosby shot a bull caribou, which was Maine's last legally killed caribou. In addition to being its first licensed guide, Maine's first licensed guide, she was also a marketing genius. She arranged an elaborate hunting display at the first annual sportsman show in Madison Square Garden, starring herself, rifle in hand and wearing a daring knee-length do-skin skirt. So what year was it, and she killed the caribou? 1899. When do they think they disappeared from there for good? Maybe 10 to 15 years later, I forget exactly. Yeah, it wasn't long.

I got a tidbit for you guys. Yesterday we had on an author, uh, that wrote that new book, The Gales November, about the tragedy of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The last thing that was ever said by the captain, he said to another boat, they asked him how he had a list and all these problems. And the last transmission from the Edmund Fitzgerald is, we are holding our own. He was interviewing family members and the granddaughter of that captain pulls her sleeve up and tattooed on her arm. We are holding our own. That's an idea for you, Spencer. Brody, New England folks will often complain that they don't get enough questions.

So, two for two, two for New England people. Yeah. Good on you. Yep. Okay, question three. Are we moving too fast, Philip? No, this is why I do that tidbit in. Rather this way than like an hour and a half like Mark's episodes.

Chuck puts a filler in there. Okay, here's one from Jackson Cunningham. The category is wildlife. This bird, which is. commonly seen along fast rocky rivers throughout the western United States and Canada is America's only native aquatic songbird. The species goes by a couple different common names and I'll accept either. Go ahead and play the song, Phil. that's more of like that was more like tidbit information i felt like what the song yeah because

i feel like i just wanted i figured why not no one's gonna be like oh i don't know then they hear that and like oh yeah listen it's a songbird we play the song maybe a million-time song felt like tidbit information to me well you're not hosting you have an answer no randalls had a rough go good good yeah we like when randle has a rough go birds man hmm oh yeah you are he's famous I guarantee you you have seen this bird. I'm sure I have. I probably dismissed it as another bird. Stupid bird.

You didn't even know what a turkey was until he shot his first one. I was in yellow still in this winter and there were some birders pulled over watching. And I said, what are you looking at? It was this. Yes. Yep. I don't doubt. Why would you have asked him that?

I want to know if it was something interesting. If I should care. I didn't. Dude, the last thing in the world I would do. Everyone got an answer? In my head, there was like a 25% chance. And ask some guy what he's looking at. I would rather.

North America. Let me tell you, it was January, though. So they were like, nobody was in the park. So I was like, oh, these people are here for a reason. There must be something good to see. I'll show my answer? No, North America's only native songbird. You all got answers?

Flip them over. over. Set, says the American Dipper, Spencer, American Dipper, Randall, no answer. Roman Warbler, Tressa Meadowlark, Steve Usel. The answer is the American Dipper or Water Usel. Ooh. I've heard it. I'll give it to Steve since he's never here. How do you spell that? I never heard of that. O-O-Z-E. I like that. O-U-U-Z-E-L. That's this. How to spell? O-U-Z-E-L. Oh, it is? Yeah. I think spell it don't count. For a writer, you're not a great

speller, you know. Ooh. We want them to come back, bro. I sometimes get a word where auto fill can't even tell it I'm talking about. That makes me feel good. Okay, the name Usel comes from the old English word

ozel meaning blackbird. The water prefix was added to distinguish the American Dipper from its European counterparts because of aquatic habitat. American Dippers are found near or in rocky, fast-flowing streams in Alaska and the western United States and Canada. They're the only songbirds in North America that feed entirely underwater. Dippers hunt aquatic insects along the stream bed by walking and swimming. They actually kind of fly through the water using their wings to propel themselves.

The bird's name comes from its habit of dipping its body up and down while perched on rocks, a behavior that's used for various purposes like courtship and communication and both male and female American dippers sing year round and their series their song is described as a series of high whistles and trills telling you what you go to like a stream after a big snowfall when that stream just looks like

the least hospitable thing on the planet and you see his little ass down in there swimming around it's an impressive bird they make a very interesting entrance too Like most birds who are hunting in the water go in headfirst. They just, like, do a cannonball. Oh, I've noticed that. Yeah, yeah. It's just like their feet stay, feet down when they go in.

He does? Pretty intense. I'll picture him going in like a penguin. You see him flying around in the water. It's pretty cool. Neat birds. It'd be sweet if you could catch them on a rod. We should move on before we.

You probably could. We should move on before we lose all of our listeners who aren't interested in birds. I think a lot of people are interested in birds. No, but I know. an important segment. It's a slice of the pie. I think it's just because you miss the question, random. Here's yet another listener question.

Listeners are three for three. They're good. Yeah. Another listener question from Nick Sikoski. I think I'm pronouncing that right. The category is hunting. This flowery term is used to describe a group of flushed pheasants in flight. What?

Oh, you can really hear that clock tick. Mm-hmm. This flowery term is used to describe a group of flushed pheasants in flight. Think I've got it. I think I got it by luck, just by pure thinking. Yeah, thinking's not luck. Randall's having a tough go with this. I know.

Actually, I know this. Another bird question. I know I know this somewhere. Oh, geez. It's a very flowery term, Randall. I know. That's what I'm hung up on. Such a crazy.

He even threw in very there. Mm-hmm. The question just says flowery. Mm-hmm. Seth isn't going to pick up his whiteboard for this one. Not yet. trying to dig deep, Spencer. We'll give you a little time.

Let me see. Do you have a flowery turn? I'm sure I've heard of it. Let me see. Why are you showing each other? That's what I have. Because I have nothing to lose. Let me see what you go.

I'm not going to change. I swear to God, I'm not changing. No, you can after showing. No cross table showing. It's got to be your neighbor. Brody's like the founder of this. When you're down to, though, when you're down to, do anything you're on.

In all fairness, I didn't want Spencer or you to be here, Randall. Yeah, he just wanted. I'd like to know that. I know. I, Seth was okay, though. Brody came to me and said it was, I don't want to use the word he used. He came and said to me, it was right for the pickings down here. And then I come down and he's like, well, well, not really because Spencer and Randall. Oh, good.

But he thought it was right for the pickings. I don't know what the hell. I said that if Randall would have been competitive lately. Yeah, Seth is going to excuse him. From the game. Nate won. Nate won. I think he was just baiting me into coming just for no reason. Of course.

We like having you around. Okay, you guys ready? Seth, are you going to come up running? Yeah, go for it. All right, flip him over. Spencer says bouquet. Randall, bouquet, Roman, nothing. Bushel, bouquet.

He even gave the correct pronunciation here. Yeah, phonetic. The answer is bouquet. B bouquet. I never heard that. I didn't know how to spell it. Is that right? I spelled it. B-O-U-U-E-T.

Oh, nailed it. Quet. I was missing the second year. The term bouquet of pheasants was part of a larger linguistic tradition known as terms of venery. Specialized vocabulary used by hunters in the Middle Ages that served as a way for the upper-class hunters to demonstrate their knowledge and reinforce social status. Ooh. A bouquet of pheasants specifically refers to the moment a group of male pheasants burst into the air, showcasing their vivid, iridescent plumage and a flurry of color.

Brody's tearing it a new one at the, uh, flavor text. I thought we went long on oozle. Yeah. Well. Bokeys perfect for them. That's very fitting. Yeah. I like that.

Colorful birds. Um, got a couple of those on the, youth hunt the other day. Number five, our next question is the listener question of the week from Jameson Teague. Spencer, what does Jameson get for submitting this question? He gets a board game signed by the crew, and we are currently in our best batch of board games signed by the crew because I happen to have them around when all of our out-of-town folks were here as well. So you're getting the rare edition of the board games signed by the crew. Extra special.

You ever let Cratchett there sign them? Oh, yeah. I tell Phil, Bill, Corinne, they both sign them. Okay, question five. The pisser or peehole on an outboard motor is also known by what eight-letter term that means to reveal information. Hmm. What? I made this a listener question of the week because I knew it would be a tough one.

The P-hole on an outboard motor is also known by what eight-letter term that means to reveal information. I've spent a lot of time freaking messing with these things. And I look this one up just to make sure that it's not like some random, wacky, like, rare thing. It's like, it's a term that. gets used. Oh, man. Got to give me a while. Means to reveal information.

Oh, man. Eight letters, huh? I only get seven. Yeah, I keep getting seven. Yeah. I got a nineer. Oh, is this going to be a zero percent? No, just hold tight.

I can give you a little more info if you want. Please, please. No. Yeah. You got an eight-letter word, Spencer? No, like seven for the third time. Yeah. Spencer, I already told Randall.

My son had rehearsal last night for the play that I did not need to attend. And so I wandered around downtown. I went to shine just in time to start a game of trivia. Just by myself, I ended up winning. Hell yeah. Beat teams of eight people, seven people. And I won tickets to a Margo Price concert on Halloween that I can't go to. So if anyone wants to attend the company.

Who's Margo Price? It's like a country folk artist. She's got a couple good tunes. She got some good tracks. Good for you? I just don't want to I just hold tight. No little tidbit clue.

Yeah, I'll take a tidbit. I would say that this term is mostly used as an adjective. Oh, geez. But it could be a noun also. That's not even kind of. Okay, well, that's all you get. How long we've been stuck on this question, Phil? it's been a while

I have there's a little marker that shows how long the clock has been ticking and it's past the halfway point which doesn't happen often I give up on this one give me an example of a question from last night oh it was all Halloween themed oh yeah is that right up your alley not really but I won the game Halloween there's Halloween Gen Ed

there were three rounds two were celebrities dressed as other celebrities and you had to say which celebrity they were dressed as it was fun good hosting and the third one was like you know they play a Halloween song and You're like a spooky song. You have to list the song and the artist.

So each question was worth two points. That is up your alley. That one was up my alley, yeah. All right. Is anyone going to come up with something? Son of God, dude. This is killing me. Doesn't look like it.

Flip them over if you got anything. What's that say, Spencer? Divulger. Divorger. I had that for a while. Nothing, nothing. Discover. Dispense?

Yeah, I'm dispensing some information to you, buddy. No one got it. The answer is telltale. Oh, what? Never heard of that. Never. That is not a true thing. Look it up. I made sure it's like, I made sure it's not horseshit.

Do you know how many hours I spent putting wires in 80 pound braid, monof, floral carbon up them holes? I'm going to talk about that. The telltale discharges a steady stream. Weed wards a cord. The tautail discharges a steady stream of water from an outboard engine indicating the water cooling system is working properly. Warming my hands up in that stuff. Oh, that's the best. If the telltale is not working and the engine continues to,

to run for an extended period of time, your outboard motor could suffer damage or complete failure. An easy way to clear a clog telltale is to scoured out with a heavy, stiff piece of monofilament or fluorocarbone line. Can I give it that? Well, let me give you an added tidbit because we found this out this year. We were taking stainless wire and run stainless wire up there, and all you want up doing is putting a hole in the tube. You put a hole in the back line. You go up there and you're like, oh, it's working out. And then you're going to take the cowling off.

spraying salt water in your motor. Yeah. The hose attachment, if you're working on that in your yard, I've always called the earmuffs. Does that have an official name? Yeah. But a lot of them have a direct connection to a hose now. Yeah. They got a built in. Like, yeah. Added a little tidbit as warm on your hands up in there.

Yeah. Yeah. And taking apart water jackets on the side of a river. James and T. Terrible fun. Zero percenter, but he's still getting the listener question. It was good. I don't think it's true. but I question the definition of tell-tale. Yeah, I think it's not true. I only ever hear that said with sign.

Okay, Randall. Let's say what. Let's look it up. I'll type in telltale into my phone. I just think there's probably an alternate definition of telltale that's more of a telltale. You can argue all you want, buddy. That's what it's called. If you put telltale into your phone, just enter in Google. And then you tell me, Brody, you start scrolling tomorrow, take a day.

You guys can keep arguing. And you start scrolling. Yeah. And you tell you. me how many days into scrolling you are before you run into that being used as a term for the pisser or indicating something

hmm get on some Edgar Allen post that's just one definition I can keep going on saying start scrolling and you tell me when you come into something about the pisser I'll let it slide type pisser in there and see how far you got to scroll

Phil do we have a scoreboard okay a scoreboard on tape for you probably get a couple of year olds everybody's on the board and Truss to have one point. Randall has two. Seth has three and Steve's worst nightmare. He is tied up with Spencer

four points in first place. Tight one. Tight one for Stephen Spencer. Maybe Randall will make a roaring comeback here in the second half. He's floundering. It's all better questions. Hunting big country

isn't for the faint of heart. You got steep ground, long distances, and miles of crown land that aren't always easy to navigate. That's why Anex Hunt. just got a serious upgrade for hunters in Canada. Now you can get nationwide coverage for less than the cost of a box of shells with major updates to crown land layers and new parcel boundaries where available.

Scout access boundaries and terrain with confidence before you even lace up your boots. Whether you're chasing elk in the mountains, spotting mule deer in the coolies, or looking for big woods white tails, Anex gives you the tools to plan smarter and hunt harder. you'll still get fully functional offline maps precise weather conditions real-time GPS tracking and customizable markups to share with your crew big country demands better intel download on X hunt and start your seven-day trial to get dialed before your next trip when the temperatures drop and the rut heats up your system needs to hold up this is where first lights core and thermic kits come in the core kit adds warmth without bulk perfect for all day sits during shifting weather. And the thermic kit, it's built for the brutal cold, silent, durable,

and designed for hunters who don't head back to the truck when the forecast turns. Because late October isn't forgiving. Cheap gear folds, bulky layers get noisy. First Light helps you stay focused when everything else is working against you. There's no shortcuts, no compromise. The long sit starts here. Head over to firstlight.com and get cold front ready. That's first light, L-I-T-E dot com.

Okay, number six. This one is from Jay Henlick, the category of science. What species of North American big game animal was the first living creature to be ejected from an aircraft at supersonic speed? Wow. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Big game animal. Please. Comment. Like, horned an ailer? Like, is it in the Boone and Crocket record? Yeah, like, what do you mean? Is it one of the 29 things in the Boon and Crocket record record?

Yes. Okay. I wouldn't have said Big Game Animal if it wasn't. Okay. You got a one in 29 chance. What species of North American big game animal was the first living creature to be ejected from an aircraft at supersonic speed? They spring those monkeys up into space. I'll get to that.

They're apes, Steve. They're not monkeys. I just finished reading the right stuff, and I don't believe that's in there. That's a good movie, too. I like that book. You read the wrong stuff. yes my boy i couldn't get my my boy into it really no do they have all the stuff i haven't seen the movie do they have all the stuff about the chimpanzees in the movie can't remember he couldn't

get into it i was reading i just couldn't stop reading about conditioning animals for spaceflight and fabulous does everyone got an answer roman and tress are still working a lot more drinking and driving in that book than i would have thought Yeah, they do that. A lot. Ready? No, we got to wait for these guys. Come up with something.

You guys ready? It ain't going to be that. Flip them over. I don't think so either. We got Black Bear from Seth, Spencer, Randall, Roman. Tressa says Moose, and Steve says Black Bear. You guys got it. The answer is the American Black Bear.

On March 21st, 1962, a two-year-old black bear named Yogi was ejected from a U.S. Air Force Conver, B-50. A-Hustler bomber, flying at approximately Mach 1.3 or 870 miles an hour. The purpose of the test was to prove the safety and performance of the B-58's new supersonic ejection capsule. The bear survived the ejection and landed safely seven minutes and 49 seconds later. However, yogi was later euthanized to study the physical effects of the ejection, since bears have similar physiology to humans. I would use the murder convict.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good. The Air Force later used other bears and chimpanzees for further ejection tests. Like federal death row type guy. Like a lot of murder, serial killer stuff. Like you ejected him and then executed him. I would have said, listen, buddy. Or did you have a cadaver.

Is your death of society, this dude. That wouldn't be. such a bad deal if you were facing if you put out a call for volunteers on federal death row you'd get guys be like I'll do that especially if they can do it with the black bear in the capsule

if you survive till the end so it was in a capsule that like had a parachute attached or what I'm assuming yeah he's not the capsule probably he's probably to shh you know it's an supersonic escape capsule

so it's some kind of no chance of survival if he was just free ball I don't know that. So when you eject at supersonic speeds, you ejected some kind of cockpit canister? I assume they still do it the same way. Oh, I don't know that. Not for,

I don't know for sure. Someone will write in and correct us. Yeah. Some pilot. Chuck Jagger, be writing in. Some bear. Number seven is coming from Wade Peters.

The category is forestry. This invasive beetleers is responsible for the destruction of hundreds of millions of trees in the northeastern United States. I think there's a couple of them. I'm glad you other guys don't look confident? I know him, but I don't know what the hell his name is. This invasive beetle is responsible for the destruction of hundreds of millions of trees. in the northeast and the United States.

Anyone know they got the answer right? Nope. Man. I thought this would be an easy one. It's a bug that trees don't like, but I don't know if it's this bug. I don't even know if it's a beetle. I really thought this one would be a slam dunk.

I'm not going to change, man. Let me see yours. Come up. That's what you have? Yeah. Oh. Let me see. All right.

Everyone got an answer? I have something different to you, Spencer, but I think it's that and the one I have. Oh, okay. Well, someone's going to have to argue. It sounds like a room for a fight. I'll listen to an argument. Let's all show. Let's all show.

Flip them over. Seth has Asian Longhorn Beetle. Spencer has Emerald Ashbor, Randall Emerald Ashbor, Pine Beetle, Box Elder. spruce beetle. That's what I meant as pine beetle. The answer is Emerald Ash Boar. Damn it.

It's like that. That's nice. Originally discovered in the U.S. and Detroit, in 2002, the Beatles likely arrived several years earlier as stowaways and pallets and packing materials on Chinese cargo ships. The Emerald Ashbore has caused devastating, ecological, and economic impacts by killing tens of millions of ash trees in North America. It's larvae feed on the inner bark. disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. This has resulted in billions of dollars in costs for municipalities and property owners. It has also opened up forest canopies and impacted native wildlife and allowed other invasive species to flourish.

When I lived in South Dakota, I had one in my boulevard that the city had to come and take a look at. They determined it was not at risk. Did not have any emerald ash borers in it yet. I'm waiting for Seth to look some up. Seth, I'm glad you get to argue. not me. It's going to take some time. Uh-oh.

Well, anybody else got an Emerald Ashpore? A anecdote. Yeah. I'll look it up. What'd you have, Steve? Patient Longhorn Beater. It's Bruce Beetle. Just something stupid.

I was bested. Busted. Oh, you don't hear that? No, I was just co-bested, clean out vested. God, I wish I was still in it. I'm looking it up, Seth. Let's keep rolling. What do you think of this, Seth?

The Longhorn Beetle? Asian Longhorn Beetle, yeah. Seth, I'm inclined to give it to you. You think it's the same beetle. No, it's not the same. It's different. But did it destroy in millions? In the Northeast?

Millions? Asian Longhorn beetle causes significant damage to forest and urban trees by fatally boring into maple ash, birch. I'm going to give it to you. But millions? I'm going to give it to it. It doesn't target a specific tree. It goes after all of them. A thousand thousand.

I'm giving it to Seth. Well, not just that. We don't have the thousands of thousands Because it's a million Should have a forester from Pennsylvania Millions To settle this Right in folks if I'm wrong

Sounds like a poorly worded I'm giving it to us Now we'll retroactively submit one point From Seth losing score That's like what the press Corrects the story No one reads that stuff Like it comes out

Everybody's like oh my God Then later they're like Oh that wasn't true It's like going to later And correcting it that you're wrong Later you're still going to seem right I should have made sure it wasn't just that. No, Brody, you did good.

You did good. Okay. Question number eight is from Tracy Habaker. The category is gear. This outdoor industry known for their iconic yellow logo released the minimalist five-finger shoe in 2006. yeah I'm feeling bad for making foot of Mark for having a long episode

because my episode was also long so I'm sorry Mark I've been thinking about that for the last 25 minutes are you getting at that I'm having a long episode Phil no not at all no he took a shot at Mark Kenyon

which is just you know where Mark's was long he used Mark as a benchmark for an episode that was too long earlier when he was telling you yours wasn't too long okay I didn't I miss that part sorry yeah this this company

known for their outdoor industry company known for their iconic yellow logo released the minimal minimalist five-finger shoe in 2006 you guys have all seen these things oh yeah the worst have you ever tried no well in a marathon in them once and i got you did oh yeah oh i can imagine this chinslow wow i didn't feel very nice i just felt like whenever i'd see someone wearing those in an airport that it would be like, it's like traveling in your pajamas. I'm just like I'm a little too familiar with your toe spread. Just a little too revealing for me. Sandals I'm fine with, but the toe thing just. I worked at Dunham's, like six years after this, 2012. We sold a lot of those shoes, but I don't remember. No.

No. People need more time? I'll give you a little more time. No, let's just do it, man. I'm reporting. You guys ready? Slip him over. Seth says Vibram, Spencer Marsupial, Randall Vibram, Roman Vibram, Truss of Vibram.

Body glove? Yeah, that's not right. The answer is Vibram. It's heating up. What did you have, Spencer? Marsupial. Oh, good. Originally designed to give yacht racers traction on slippery wet surfaces, Vibram's five-finger shoes were adopted by runners, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who wanted a shoe that mimicked.

moving around barefoot in nature while still protecting their feet with a grippy vibram performance rubber sole. God, the feeling you have something between your toes all day long, dude. Does anyone else make the logo now, right? Oh, yeah, you're right. Picture. Does anyone else make five-finger shoes, or are they like the only ones? I'm sure that someone else has picked it up by now.

What's the score? That was question number eight, so we'll get a score. No, can I just take a quick peek now, though? No, no, we're getting that right now. Oh, okay. Right, Phil? is going to be really generous. Show us.

Oh, man. Oh, my God. Oh. Wow. How many are left? Two. The old Longhorn beetle, Mike. Tressa has two points.

Roman has three. And then the players left in the game are Randall and Steve. We're still in it. And Seth and Spencer with six. We got two more. Randall, tie me. You missed a couple? Yeah.

Yeah. It's got to be it. Must be it. Okay, moving on. As long as we stay away from the birds, I'll be good. Randall's in a much better mood than he was, a few questions back. All that, his hair is laying down. He's not beat red anymore.

No, no, I am. I actually feel myself getting red. It's quite warm anymore. That's why I took the hat off. Okay, question number nine was submitted by my lovely wife, Carrie. The category is public lands. In 2015, the United States Mint released a quarter of, featuring what game bird?

What? In 2015, the United States Mint released a quarter featuring what game bird? Hmm. Got it, got one in my pocket right now. Oh. You notice? Not the bird, the coin. Maybe.

I said it. 30% chance I have it right. Can we put down three? No. One of them is the one? No. You can put down three, but you got to pick one. I might do that.

Pick a game bird that was on the 2015, a 2015 quay. I'm feeling more confident It's like a state quarter? I'm feeling more confident Because of the I don't know what I want to say why Well I came in hot You got to admit when I came in here

Has everyone got an answer? What do you got? Flip them over, suckers Seth says Woodcock Spencer Wild Turkey Randall says turkey Which is not a game bird Sure it is

No Roman says pheasant Tressa says Woodcock Steve says wild turkey The answer is the wild turkey. Because of the Cassachi National Forest. Spencer, you're too smart for your own good. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, because I pull back ahead of Randall. No, right, let me give you the flavor text here. It's my favorite point. We're bully and Brody. All this is wasting. It's where I stand. As part of the America the Beautiful program, the 2015 quarter,

Got to dig it out. Features a wild turkey in flight to honor the Cassachi National Forest in Louisiana. The Cassachi National Forest totals more than 604,000 acres of public land byus, cypress grows, and old-growth pine forest. A total of 56 quarter launchers were executed from 2010 to 2021 before the program ended. the quarters honored 31 national park, seven national monuments, five national forests, three historic sites,

two national wildlife refuges, two national recreation areas, two national lakeshors, and one national preserve, and a couple of other. Good for the turkey. Yeah, I'd like to have one of those quarters.

Yeah, that's a cool for you. Did you put it in your body? You'll sell it to you. 24 cents. All right. Phil, do we get one last update?

Well, we need clarification on whether or not Randall got that. No, of course not. Are you... Rangel, I'm on your side of the... What are you hunting this weekend? Wild turkeys. Yes, it could have been an oscillated.

It's a game bird. Could have been a white... Oscillated as are game birds. Could have been a white farm turkey. As an oscillated turkey, not a wild turkey? No, no. You know what we're talking about. We'll give it to...

I'm a wild. Why? Well, what were you doing this week? Oh, we're out after wild turkeys. Yes, I would say that. What are you drinking? Wild turkey. That's what everybody says around the office Going out for wild turkeys

I think you should learn to be more specific with your answers Randolph Do you guys fill your wild turkey tags Well I guess yeah We have to give it to Randall because we probably should have put Eastern Turkey Would be my guess Someone says you're going hunting turkeys

I'm always like what do you mean Yeah I don't believe in all those Eastern They're all wild turkey They're all wild turkey Okay well here we are Tressa 2 Roman 3 Now we are down to

Seth and Randall Steve. I still have a pathway, dude. Spencer is one point ahead with seven points. In fact, I like your odds, Steve. Uh-oh.

I don't like mine. The final question, it all comes down to this. Or we'll have a tiebreaker. What's in Steve's pocket? Our last question is from Gail Donovan. According to Meat Eaters,

Daniel Pruitt, so don't argue about this after the answer. According to Meteor's Daniel Pruitt, what is the largest and heaviest cut of meat on a deer's

hind quarter What? Primal cut like main cut cut main cut. Hmm. You went quick there

you're not going to think about it. I mean, I don't know what the hell she's calling it. You never pull it a,

it's a very common name. Like, it ain't going to be like, really? What's that? Oh. Just envision yourself

And then labeling them In the same way that Danielle does Well, it's not Like Danielle is not the only one that does it Like everyone does it Someone wrote this in Yes why he's so angry about this question

because you set it up like it was like a gimme to me I figured you I figured you would know as a cookbook author she just did a video on this I just saw a video on this I feel a lot better if it said

what is the I put according to Daniel Pruitt so people can't be well like on the deer I shot this one was out here that is how they talk that's exactly how they talk Not on the buck I shot

That's what it sounds like Roman hasn't said shit since he came down here No he pronounced his name for you You guys all got an answer? Good contribution All right this is big flip them over Seth says top round Spencer top round Randall says round

Wild round Romer round dress around Steve says top round. No one got it. The answer is bottom round. Oh, but I had round. Yeah, same. That should count.

Oh, I win anyway. We gave you turkey. We're not giving you that. I can't believe that turkey was even questioned. There's three different rounds on the hind quarter. The bottom round is the largest muscle on the hind quarter. It can be sliced into thin strips for jerky, pounded into cutlets for chicken fried steak, cube for stew meat, or ground into burger and sausage.

If you want to check it out, go to the Meteor. com and look at Danielle's article how to butcher a hind quarter and like Seth said she's also got a video that just came out wow what does that mean Phil what's that scoreboard Phil let's take a look that means Spencer Newhart that's right is our winner right on the index way to go Spencer the index was nine no no seven seven oh okay

right uh great I'm going to donate my five hundred dollars to pheasants forever. South Dakota just had their fesson opener a few days ago. Nobody kills more pheasants in South Dakota. A big part of their economy, big part of their hunting culture. Let's send $500 their way. As a deer hunter, I benefited from all kinds of CRP back in my day. So let's keep that going.

Sounds good. Spencer, do you know what your win percentage is? It has to be crazy high. I feel like you win almost every game. No, I heard your day that's free eye. But he does have access to the listener question. inbox. Not Brody's DM inbox, which is where these questions went.

Fair enough. It was a clean victory. Brody, you did good. Our listeners did good. Yeah, there's a good batch of questions. You let me down at Randler, Steve. I know. I came in hot too, man. You saw me in the beginning. Join us next week. Just exhaustion. Just exhaustion. The only game show with conservation always winning.

Thanks, Spencer. Spence from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down. And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid, amateur. Rock hound. Real hunts rarely go as planned.
