Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newark, and today we're joined by Janus, Randall, Alex, Anthony, Nate, Sarah, Cal, and Brody.

This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking. And there is a prize. Meadeter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And Yanni has a plug for us today, Yani. No. What are you looking to talk about? Block that camera. Eft up old trucks calendar for 2026.

If you enjoyed 2025s, effed up old. Crappers. Shitters. Oh, yeah, yeah, 2025, you're right. 2024 is where we strayed from the series. Oh, right. Yeah, that wasn't a great year for the F-DF calendar series. But anyway, it's available next October.

You could be sitting in your office or in your shop looking at a picture of these two fine six-point bulls in the back of this truck right here. Yanni keeps one of these every room in his house. Did you pick that for a particular reason, that particular month? Because it's October currently now. Oh, got it. Yeah, so next Halloween. Oh, my birthday's on a Saturday.

Great. It's a good calendar. That calendar is available on our website. Did you guys all help in writing the witty captions for the pictures? I didn't get the invite this year.

But BHA, thanks to some quick work by Brody Henderson, BHA gets a couple of bucks out off of every calendar. Oh, hell yeah. Very good about buying that. There's the plug for how to sell it.

The only calendar for conservation always wins. There you go. Yeah, we also have the only cooking show for conservation always wins. We should think of a new schick. No, no, we should not. All right, 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.com with the subject line, I-F-A-Q.

Andrew Purdy says, will anything change now that trivia is on the outdoor channel? This question is a few months old, and I hope your question has been answered by now, Andrew. No, nothing is going to change. The folks who download the podcast, watch it on YouTube, they're still the top priority. Nothing has changed. The only thing is we've had to get a little more specific about copyright stuff. So that means no more playing a music and asking you who sings it.

That's probably the only change that the podcast has experienced because that would not fly on the outdoor channel. And Phil loves dealing with copyright stuff over there. So trying to make it easy on him. Phil's shaking his head Sideway You guys couldn't see what I cut to my camera And look straight into it

And shook my head It's gonna be super funny For the YouTube audience But the listeners need to know You know what little jingle Pops in my head That bum badeum bumble Like the Seinfeld

Oh yeah Yeah Try to do it so close That we get dinged for the copyright Go for it, Cal I think that's my best My first one was a better one Slapping some bass

It's been a while We have some housekeeping To on a regular episode of the meat eater podcast That was episode 780. We played trivia that was all about the meat eater TV show. My tie-breaking question was how many stars does the TV show have from 215 Google reviews? The answer was 4.4 stars.

But since then, you listeners have been hammering Google with more reviews, and it's now up to 4.6 stars off of 328 reviews. So 100 more people. I think 4.6 might have been my original guess. I'll point out that hide hunters. right now has a perfect average of five stars. Like 72 reviews. That's great.

Don't screw it up, people. Now, when I told Steve about this nine days ago via email, he didn't respond. But I bet he appreciates you all anyway. My review says, not what I expected. Four stars. Now, the Shelby Index for today is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. 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. Question one, the topic is conservation, and as always, this will be multiple choice. This man is known as the father of national parks. Is it, John Muir, Ding Darling,

Timothy Treadwell were John James Audubon This man is known as The Father of National Parks John Muir Ding Darling Timothy Treadwell for John James Audubon

How is it that we don't get dinged For copyright with our intro Isn't that directly from that Who Wants to be a Millionaire movie? What's the answer, Phil? Well, we do not air that part on the outdoor channel. Nice.

Those poor listeners have no idea of what they're missing With Bill's creative work over that That is why I changed the tiebreaker sound To the one that you say Shreds your eardrums or something along Feels like he's gonna lose a limb That's good feedback This man is known as the father of national parks

John Muir Ding Darling Timothy Treadwell John James Audubon Randall did you even need The Four Choices on this one No Okay.

I knew, well. Oh, wow. Yeah, I didn't think that was an interesting, I was trying to be polite. He put some facade of collegiality around here. I know, none of that. I hope that attitude keeps just cranking right up. And Brody is still thinking, oh. Everyone, I thought maybe.

Brody ain't, no, you know, we go deep. Do you have an answer, Brody? Yeah, we have. Two. Dying to know why you threw one of those names in there. No. Dying to know But it does involve National Park

Go ahead and reveal your answers Janice says John Muir Sarah with the same answer Nate says ding darling Randall and Alex Cal Anthony and Brody say John Muir They got it the correct answer is

John Muir Come on Nate John Muir is a Scottish-born conservationist who loudly advocated for preserving wilderness in the West. He helped introduce bills that led to the preservation of some of America's first national parks. Teddy Roosevelt said one of the most impactful moments he ever had was hiking and camping with Muir in what later became Yosemite National Park.

Mere also founded the Sierra Club. Here is a picture of him with Teddy in Yosemite there. They spent a few nights. Not a big hunter. Are you getting some feedback? I'm getting a little feedback. Yeah, someone's got a cell phone on the table. or not an airplane mode.

Too close to the microphone. For the listeners' sake. I've seen Cal checking messages frequently. I know. Spencer, I'm glad you include this. Turns out. There's things outside of this room. That's Teddy and John Muir together.

And Cal was wondering about why I included Timothy Treadwell? I don't know. I just wanted. It'd have been amusing if Nate would have picked Timothy Treadwill and we all could have put him and laughed at it. Max, Max, that happened. I like the Tony Nate dynamic here.

They're talking a little crap across the table. it's great little Tony need more of that question two the topic is woodsmanship this next great question

is via Brian Kassens this five-letter word is defined as quote a mass of small loose stones that form or cover a slope

of a mountain does spelling matter does not matter but you should aim for five letters this five-letter word is defined as a mass of small, loose stones that form

or cover a slope on a mountain. I've got a question two. A second word that I think. There's a few. I think we're still getting some feedback on someone's cell phone. I don't hear it. I haven't heard it for a bit.

It might be clothes wrestling or something. This five-letter word is defined as a mass of small ones. that's not talking about that. Randall just really through a wrench of the things on a mountain.

Oh yeah, what if the mountain is made of the same material? I feel like there's, yeah, there's two five-letter words. Brody, the listeners really don't like that.

I'm just trying to look out for the listeners. They will thank you. A lot on this episode, actually. This five-letter word is defined as a mass of small loose stones

that form or cover a slope on a mountain. Brody's stop. Brody's antagonizing your listeners. This is devolving into a family picture. Is everybody ready? Hold on.

Randall, we can probably get audio experience consultant put on your title. To come with a pay raise? 100%. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Yannis saying Scree, Sarah and Nate and Randall saying Scree. What's that say, Alex? I have no idea. Tal says, Talis, Anthony,

Scree, Brody, Scree. The correct answer is Scree or Talis. We'll accept both of those, both five-letter words. We can both almost the same definition. Is it a K or a C? No, we cannot, Tony. It is a C. So does K count? We're going to give it to you, Anthony. Spelling does not matter.

The term scree comes from an old Norse word for landslide. These deposits are typically the result of rocks falling from cliffs over the course of millions of years. Some animals are specialized to live in screefields, such as picas, marmits, skinks, and finches. Question three, the topic is hunting. Outdoor life called this South American country, quote, a true bird hunter's paradise, thanks to their high-volume dove shooting. Outdoor life called this South American country a true bird hunter's paradise,

thanks to their high-volume dove shooting. a confident room again for question three is everybody ready to go down there on a different bird I think they have good waterfowl I think they have good waterfow yeah no hints they do

they do but they have upland game birds that are cool it's a different type of dove down there as well I was assumed it was a morning dove but it is not it's an ear dove go ahead and reveal your answers

Janice and Sarah and Nate and Randall say Argentina Alex says Bolivia Cal and Anthony and Brody say Argentina The correct answer is Don't cry for me I don't get it what's that reference Don't cry Evita the musical

Don't cry for me Argentina Was she a big dove hunter? Go on Sorry I thought Phil would appreciate it at least He did you got a little noise out of him over there One Argentinian Lodge says their record For Doves shot in a day is 14,000, which is more than hunters in West Virginia kill in an entire year. It's estimated there are 50 million doves in Argentina, which thrive thanks to the mild

climate and vast agriculture. Question four, the topic is gear. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Robert Smith for sending this great question. Robert 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 the meat eater.com. Yetty and Bear Vault are among the 100

manufacturers with products certified by the IGBC, which stands for interagency, blank blank committee. So we're looking for the G and the B. I think you should have done four blanks.

Yeti and Bear Vault are among the 100 manufacturers with products certified by the IGBC, which stands for interagency, blank, blank, committee. That's the B, that's the tricky one. Is it? Mm-hmm.

Randall, I was updating the scoreboard. I'm sorry, I didn't give you a bigger pop on your Avivica thing. I should have been there for you. I mean, I heard you say basic under your breath, Phil. I would never. What was the last word, Spencer? Of this one? Mm-hmm.

Committee? I'm sorry. Committee? That's what it was? Mm-hmm. We're talking about this question. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah.

Yetty and Bear Vault are among the 100 manufacturers with products certified by the IGBC, which stands for Interagency Blank, Blank, Committee. We're looking for the G and the B. Randall, you have this one right? Boy, I hope so. Yanni, you have this one right. I believe so. Okay.

I think I was just looking at the sticker on my cooler. that has this. You own a Yetty? Yeah, I won it. You won it. Are you going to make some comment? Must be nice. He's got a tailor in South Korea, too.

Let it have it, Tony. I got an email. And he just got a new hunting permission. Spacred up in your garage. Spencer forwarded me an email from some dude in Korea whose neighbors with him. It made me so happy. Whoever that guy is, you really made my week that day.

And he still doesn't have this one right. No. Yeti and Bear Vault are among the 100, Manufactures with products certified by the IGBC, which stands for Interagency Blank Blank Committee is everybody ready. Also, I didn't want you to misunderstand that nod as you're saying, you know, correct. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice and Sarah say Rizley Bear.

Nate says, Nate says Great Bear. Randall says Grizzly Bear. Alex says Global Byproduct, Cal. And Anthony's. I'm really puzzling answer. I know, dude. I'm off my game here.

What did you? Cal Anthony and Brody say grizzly bear. They got it. The correct answer is... I can't do M.O.R. on the same day. Not great, bear. So close. You've been drinking?

Something. The interagency Grizzly Bear Committee test products that are meant to store food and garbage. To do so, they place food... They place food in a container. Cover it in honey, peanut butter, and fish oil, and lock it with a

padlock. Then the container must survive 60 minutes with a captive grizzly to pass the test. These trials are carried out at either the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone or at the Washington State Bear Research Center in Pullman. As of September, there are over 500 products that are IGBC certified. I wonder if those bears just get conditioned and they're just like, I don't really feel like messing with this thing. Well, how often do they win?

I don't know. I don't think we'd find out. You're right, Nate, it is a sticker that goes on the products, and it says the 60 minutes has to be 60 minutes of bear contact. So that means biting on it, sitting on it, clawing at it. They must bait them

with stuff. They put bait inside of the cooer. I thought that meant the bear couldn't have clothes. And if the product goes in water, the 60 minutes pauses, it says. Interagency grizzly bear committee. Question five. Okay, whose joke was better, Phil?

I like that one. I'm not. I'm not putting by having the ring. Question five, the topic is fishing. Seth Bullock catches rainbow trout in the Black Hills, 20 years before they were introduced there in this HBO show. We will get a scoreboard update and Phil after this. Seth Bullock catches rainbow trout in the Black Hills 20 years before they were introduced there in this HBO show.

Brody. Sarah and Nate I know what this is. Cal now knows it. Maybe. Yeah, keep talking, Cal. Well, it, because somebody in this room

says it's like their favorite thing ever. Yep, that's true. That's true. Yonis just doesn't pick off his whiteboard if it's a pop culture question. So once an episode, he just doesn't even put it in his hand. Seth Bullock catches Rainbow Trout

in the Black Hills 20 years before they were introduced there. in this HBO show. Oh, he is going to try. Oh, yeah, I mean, I'm going to try. I'm going to try. I'm going to write down something. Okay.

Last episode, you didn't write down anything for Waterboy. You're right. This is the only HBO show I know of. Interesting. That's not. I saw what you wrote, Anthony, and that is crazy. The Sopranos, Game of Thrones. You gave it away.

You're looking at my answer. Yeah, 100%. It's actually Game of Thrones. Eastbound and down. This is the only HBO show I know. Oh, I finished task last night, Randall. Oh, so good. Really entertaining.

So good. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janus says Yellowstone. Sarah says Deadwood. Nate says 1886. Randall says Deadwood. Alex without an answer.

Cal says Deadwood. Anthony says Hard knocks the football show. And Brody says Deadwood. The correct answer is Deadwood. And yes, Cal, that is my favorite show. ever. The show is set in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1876, but the first rainbow trout weren't stocked there until 1896. Despite this, Bullock tells his son of a fat rainbow trout that loiter's in the stream, which he plans to make pay for his slothish ways.

Bullock's son has an untimely death later that season when he gets trampled by a horse, which was written into the script because the child actor's parents were, quote, a pain in the ass. So there's some feedback for you, Phil. on being the father of a child actor if you're a pain in the ass, David Milch is just going to kill your kid off of the show. I would never. What'd you think about the movie

that wrapped it up, Spencer? It was, it was, okay. It was kind of disappointing. I was glad they did it. I will take any morsel of Deadwood. They're willing to feed me. It came back like a decade later. They did a good job of aging the characters,

but ultimately it didn't address like the four loose ends that they left at the end of the last season. What's his name? Had a good death. elsewhere engine. I couldn't stomach the vulgarity. It's tough.

It's maybe like the worst part of the show is they wanted it to be extra gritty. So instead of using time appropriate language, like calling people hoopel heads, they set a lot of very vulgar words. Oh, it's just overwhelming. And I just don't have an ear for that stuff. Yeah. What was the show about? Deadwood. Deadwood is in its infancy.

It's like been an established camp for six. It's a town in South Dakota. It's like gold was just discovered there. They're fighting off the government. They're fighting off Native Americans. They're fighting each other. Wild Bill Hill Hickok. Calamity Jane.

A lot of characters arrive who were famous. Never heard of that show. Deadwood is the Las Vegas of the Upper Midwest. There you go. All right, Phil, let's get a scoreboard update. Halfway through the show. That Shelby Index is really looking good right now. We've got Alex of one point.

Nate has two. Janice and Anthony both have four but we've got a four-way perfect game tie right now between Sarah Randall Bradle Brody and Cal Good job everybody It's gonna be fun

In 1996, a 15-year-old girl was found along Montana's Gallatin River.

Raped, drowned, and left for dead. For nearly 30 years, her killer remained free, living quietly among friends, coworkers, and hunting partners. I think they just thought he was a pretty normal dude. We thought he was kind of a quirky guy, but he was ex-military and a wildlife biologist background. So we just always thought he was kind of a different guy. His name was Paul Hutchinson, a husband, father, and passionate outdoorsman who spent decades lying about the festering atrocity hiding in his past. You never think you're going to be on the villain side of the story.

In this episode of Blood Trails, we follow the trail of a monster hiding in plain sight by speaking to the family and friends who knew him and the investigators who tried to bring him to justice. I'm Jordan Sillers. Tune into this week's episode of Blood Trails, A Monster Among Us, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The world record typical white-tailed deer was killed by Milo Blank in 1993. Oh, my God. It's going to be close. Anthony spelling will never matter ever.

Besides the one time, I said in the question, spelling matters, and you need to spell the word that was the winning word of the spelling bee this year, which was Moorhen. I think we should have. Besides that one instance, we should have some questions where spelling does. Well, there are some, this has been a point of contention. When it becomes a different word, that is incorrect. In my opinion, I'm not the host of the show here. I feel like I've got the nationality right.

I'm with Phil. That's it. National. You're including his nationality and the last name, you'll understand. Was killed by Milo Blank in 1993. When I read this question of my wife, she was confused. She thought the last name was blank. So it just didn't make any sense to her.

The world record typical white tail deal. was killed by Milo Blank in 1993. I can't wait for Nate's answer. Dude, it's been a rough one today. Milo Polish. Milo Italiano. Is everybody ready? My marker's bad, too.

Alex has to. But I'm riding it out. Change his white. Good vibes. I'm a little nervous on this one. I heard you guys talk about this stuff. A gillillion times. Go ahead and reveal it.

your answers. Nate says Hansen, Sarah without an answer. What's that say there? What about Yanni? No, Yonni. I'm sorry, Yonis says Hansen. Sarah without an answer. Nate, tell me again. Yonapoulis.

Randall says Hansen. Alex says Poutelis. Cal says Milo Hansen. Anthony says Hansen. Brody says Hansen. The correct answer is Hansen. And what's the spelling? Well, this is actually kind of weird.

Boone and Crockett has his last name as H-A-N-S-E-N, and then Outdoor Life, who interviewed him, has H-A-N-S-O-N, so I'm not certain if it's S-E-N or S-O-N. Milo-Hanson owned a farm in southwestern Saskatchewan. He first heard about the buck from a school bus driver who spotted the deer feeding in one of his alfalfa fields a few months before the 1993 deer season. The whole community soon knew about the whitetail and four hunters actually shot at and missed the buck within the first week of gun season.

Then, on November 23rd, Hanson saw the deer enter a willow ticket on his property. He organized a deer drive with a few buddies and killed the white tail as it ran from cover. To celebrate, he had a cigarette, even though he gave up smoking three years prior. The best part of that... The best part of it is he killed it on a drive. He did. And I think the other hunters who missed it, missed it after their drive as well. They were going to kill this deer on a deer driver, not kill it at all.

That's cool. Bill has a photo of Milo with the buck. Where's the cigarette? Well, this, I believe, was days later. Picked a hell of a season to quit sniff and glue. He wanted to be able to show this photo to his wife, so he washed his hands. That's right. He said they went back to the farm to take pictures, but his wife wasn't around, and they didn't know how to use the camera.

So they had to wait for her to show up. I think that's at the the Bass Pro Museum in Springfield, at least a replica of it. They own it. I have a couple elk grip and grins

with a siggy between my legs. Oh, I love that. Future throwback Thursday on Meeter Radio. I'd be lying if I said I didn't smoke a cigarette over the body of my bowl this weekend. Wow.

Wow. You'd have the same story as Milo Hanson. Randall Williams gave up cigarettes three years ago. No, Randall, yeah, temporarily gave up soon. Question seven, the topic is cooking. Maybe that'll be a future throwback Thursday.

It's just cigarettes in that throwback Thursday. This word is defined as, quote, The process of slowly melting raw animal fat over low heat to liquefy it. This may be a 100% of another one I feel like we've had before. We have not. This word is defined as, the process of slowly melting raw animal fat over low heat to liquefy it. I got to do some of this at some point in the very near future.

I do too. I just did it this weekend. Or it goes bad. Is everybody ready? From what animal? I finished up some fat that I had off of a white-tailed deer last fall. And then our friend Anna Borgman, I've asked her if she would collect any fat that she doesn't have a use for. And so I got some fat off of a beef liver, and then I've got some fat off of some sheep.

The sheep fat was not near as good as the beef or the deer. What are you using your deer fat for? Yeah. We'll turn it into hand lotions, candles, body scrubs, my wife. Sure, sure. Intimate things you could say. Skin care stuff. Yeah.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice and Sarah and Nate. everybody says render everybody got it correct it's render rendering fat is what removes the meat and water to make it shelf stable this can be turned into products like candles soap lotion and of course tallow for cooking i hope every listener of bear grease got that question right right question eight the topic is woodsmanship this next great question is via adam johnson according to the field of mars reserve this is the only type of tree that grows in salt water.

According to the field of Mars Reserve, this is the only type of tree that grows in saltwater. I'm going to try. Another confident room. This is question eight, so we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. This is like, well, if it's not that tree, what could it be? Exactly. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Go ahead.

reveal your answers. We have Janice saying Cyprus. Sarah and Nate and Randall say mangrove. Alex says coral reef. Cal and Anthony and Brody say mangrove. The correct answer is

Maingrove. Maingroves are found across the globe in tropical areas, mostly between the latitudes of 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south. They thrive in conditions where most plants would die with special adaptations that allow them to live in places with big waves, low oxygen, and high salinity.

Many animals rely on mangroves for habitat such as snook, gar, crocodiles, horseshoe crabs, upside-down jellyfish, and indigo snakes. Bonefish. Tarpen. Yeah. Plenty, plenty of species. I could have sworn I was just in a place where they had cypress trees in the water and the water tasted salty and had saltwater fish. Maybe it was brackish. Maybe the field of Mars Reserve isn't aware of cypress trees.

Yeah. That could be. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update with two questions to go. Yes, there we are. Gosh, that's tight. High score in game. We've got Randall

and Cal are now tied up in first place with eight points behind them. Are Sarah and Anthony with seven? And then Janus has six. This is exciting. The players left in the game. We're like we're going to a tiebreaker today. Sarah, what did you miss?

I miss the hunting white tail question. It should make her feel better. Question nine, the topic is fishing. This sunfish, which is one of the most vibrant fish in North America, has a name that combines a type of squash with a part of a squash. I am surprised that Randall knows this. Why? He grew up, but I don't know squash?

Or I don't know fish? Yeah, maybe sunfish, sunfish. Oh, I feel like... You know sunfish, you love sunfish. Do you know what I like to do is catch fish on worms? Exactly, I was going to say he would probably catch this species as by catch when he's going after his favorite fish. Okay. I would assume, though, that randle.

Big, big pond guy. That everything to you is just going to be a sunfish. It's what I would have guessed. But I'm proud of you. Is there a difference between sunfish and brim? I think Brim is like a bluegill. It's like a corner listing these fish. For knowledge.

Keep going. This sunfish, which is one of the most vibrant fish in North America, has a name that combines a type of squash with a part of a squash. It's not a bird. It's a great question. Thank you, Nate. I don't know the answer. Yeah, me neither.

And you grew up in the same place as Randall. You didn't catch any of these on worms like him. I did not grow up in the same place. Well, I used to have big, big, like, fishing reference books, you know, that have all the different fish. I love this. And you're just looking at them on. To be fair, I don't look at you two side by side and think these people came from the same spot. Didn't you live in Ohio for a while, Nate?

I went to school in Ohio, and you're convinced I'm from Ohio. I don't find that place. Yeah, he's from Ohio. Me and Randi, do you have this one right? No. Tone. A little Tony. This sunfish, which is one of the most vibrant fish in North America.

America is a name that combines a type of squash with a part of a squash. Is everybody ready? The squash thing threw me off. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says pumpkin seed. Sarah without an answer, Nate says, yellow perch. Randall, pumpkin seed. Alex, without an answer, Cal, pumpkin seed.

Anthony, bluegill, Brody, pumpkin seed. The correct answer is pumpkin seed. They are named after their shape, which is flat and oval. like that of a pumpkin seed. Their native range stretches from Maine to Nebraska to Georgia. They can reach 10 inches long and will hybridize with other sunfish

like the bluegill and green sunfish. There is a picture. Jesus, such a pretty little panfish. All right, here's a correct answer to review. I'm starting to get worried about Alex here. Like, I feel like we need to have a campaign of socialization.

He has been quiet. This is very normal for me. I, because I'm not good at this game. I'm willing to admit that He's a good sport Randall will open up his fishing book And just read him Names of Fish

Yeah we can do that on the third floor now Ten minutes a day All right here's a correct answer Review so far One was John Muir Two Scree Three

Argentina Four Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee Five Deadwood Six Milo Hanson

That's right It could happen today Here's question 10 The Triangente The topic is conservation This 15-letter word is defined as a process of land degradation in which already dry land becomes increasingly arid, losing its soil quality, vegetation, and water. I don't know a 15-letter word.

Numbers guy. Randall's whiteboard is not important. Cal's whiteboard is down. It seems like those two will definitely go to overtime. Brody is counting. some letters. How many letters do you have, Brody? I'm busy, Spencer. This 15-letter word is defined as

a process of land degradation in which already dry land becomes increasingly arid, losing its soil quality, vegetation, and water. Cal and Randall may be the only two who get this one right. I better add another letter here. Uh-oh. He's got a 14-11. letter word, just made it 15.

Randall is counting again. Do we have 15 letters? We do. Okay. Brody, do you have 15 letters? Sure do. Wow. All right. But are they the right 15? This is exciting. Do our other players give up? No. I think on these spelling should count.

Yeah. 15 letters is a lot of them to put in the right order. No, but just when you specify the number of letters. Well, but if you sit in the back like we do, you're not going to do that. No, because on the scree question, somebody had a K instead of a C and we did not ding that person.

Yeah, that's true. That person was thinking of SCA. Who's your favorite ska band, Cal? Scroll on my zippers. I'm going to dick that. Mighty, mighty boss tones. Real big fish. Are boss tones? Yeah, that's scotch. Yeah, sure. It's part of the

Royal. Oil. Yeah. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janis and Sarah. Without an answer, what's that saying, Nate? Deasertification. He says desalid nations. Randall, desertification. Alex, without an answer.

Anthony says, over-irrigated. Cal and Brody say desertification. They got it. The correct answer is desertification. Simply put, this is the process of grasslands and shrub lands turning into deserts. It can occur naturally or be human-caused. The places most dramatically affected are Africa and Australia. Things that speed up desertification include overuse of aquifers,

deforestation, and poor agriculture practices. I was going to say Tony was right on track with close. All right, we're heading to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreakers. For the first time ever, a three-way perfect game going into the tiebreaker, the tiebreaker. That's a great title for this one. There we go.

It will be a numerical question. whoever is closest between Randall and Brody will be declared the winner. The topic is outdoors. Oh. What year did the outdoor channel launch? Oh, gross. Are we all answering this? Everyone will answer this one.

That's right. I'll remind you this is airing on the outdoor channel. Oh, I know that. What year did the outdoor channel launch? Closest to, I imagine. Closest will be declared the winner. but everybody's going to play along because if somebody gets it right on the nose

then meat eater will add an extra $100 to the end of the game. Oh, one tie, we all tie, I like it. What year did the outdoor channel launch? Randall, let's come up with his answer. Yeah, I added the number of... Yes. Trying to think of a fictitious formula to get to my answer. I just put down a year.

He's got his answer locked in. Brody is going to do some erasing now. I think I know this. I figure it was between the 100 years ago and the present. He doesn't know it. What year did the outdoor channel launch? Brody's still riding. I forget which year I put down.

I'm going to donate the cash to backcountry hunters and anglers, Spencer. All right. What are they got going on these days? Oh, man. Well, for folks who are paying attention, we have a lot of ongoing issues that kind of

surround the devaluation of our public lands and public land systems. And it's a unique spot in time for hunters and anglers to participate in. in our government system because we spend the most time out on those places and we know the true value of America's public lands and having access to those public lands as well as the ecosystems and fun stuff out there. The personal growth opportunities we all get from those places. So it's got, it's time to weigh in. And BHA does a real good job of that. And I misspoke.
