This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. It's a meat eater podcast. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Janice, Brody, Randall, Marge, Alex, Roman, and Corey. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from me-deers, four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meadeter will donate $500 to the Conservation Organization of the winner's championship.

using. Spencer. What's up? Show everyone on your t-shirt. What do you got going on there? I like it. This, oh, thank you. My wife got it for me at Goodwill. Rob Van Dam was my favorite rassler of all time when I was a kid. He was from Battle Creek, Michigan, Yanni. I know that town. Not far from where I grew up. RVD, his finishing move was the five-star frog splash. This is a t-shirt my wife found there. It's probably slightly younger than me. So RVD's shirt. Nobody can see it on On camera, spending. Just use your imagination.

It's got like the skeleton of a dragon with a big P sign. It says RVD. That's badass, dude. Ying Yang sign. There you go. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at Yanni's shocking overtime resume. 47% of his victories have happened in overtime, which is by the highest among the crew. The next closest is Steve with 29% of his victory.

Happening in overtime. Honest, you're just the cardiac kid going to overtime all the time to earn those victories. Yeah, I don't think it's not like a real plus stat. Like if a coach and an opposing team was looking at that, he's not like, I need that guy. Wait, though. He can't win in regular time. But you love shooting animals in overtime, like going. What does that mean?

That's true. A week through a whole. At the buzzer. At the buzzer. At the buzzer. at the buzzer. You just mean like you're on a five-day hunt, you kill him on day seven.

What's his winning percentage, though, in... In overtime? Like, does he... He's good in overtime as well, but he has to go to overtime a lot. Yeah. You're earning those victories on an 11th question, Yanni. Like I said, 47%...

I don't win as much as Brody, because I feel like my wins are... I celebrate them. Everybody all celebrates them. Brody wins. Everybody's like, we forget. How do you think I feel?

Not that. I know. You don't even celebrate him anymore. You're just like, I gotta get back to the computer. See you guys. Another episode. Shades drawn, door closed, bro. We have an IFAQ.

If you have an IFAQ, for us, send it to trivia at the meat eater.com with the subject line IFAQ. This one is an FAQ. We had a lot of feedback on the episode this week. That's only like five hours old from Adam Schroeder. Genuinely curious. Why the disgust for the outdoor boys? from Brody and Yanis.

I feel he has a wide reach and inspires outdoor interest. No, no, no, no. People thought you were too dismissive of Luke Nichols and the Outdoor Boys. Yonnes and I weren't, I'm not gonna speak for Yonis. I was not commenting on the outdoor boys at all

from what little I've seen of that guy. I think he's great. I was commenting on the fact that I knew something about social media that I wish I had no exposure to. Like it was a commentary on social media. Okay, it's commentary on Brody. I disdain for...

I was only commenting on the fact that I felt like you put a media question under... Are you new here, Yanni? Under the... No? Okay. I do that off. Just forgetful. I guess.

I guess I always thought that when you had a movie question, you're like, this is under the media. No, from what I've seen about that, the guy, he's great. Like, he goes outside, does cool shit, spends time with his kids. It wasn't that. Listeners and comments will be happy. It's dominating the YouTube comments right now. Probably five or six emails from folks. I'm going to have to issue a public apology.

Well, they just did. Sorry to the Outdoor Boys fans out there from Brody and Janus. They really mean it. We have some housekeeping. A big announcement. The fourth annual meat eater trivia tournament is almost here. It will be a three episode series starting February 11 and featuring all the trivia heavy heaters.

heavy hitters like Steve, Brody, and Randall, just like last year, we'll use 30 questions to crown our meat eater trivia champion. So just a few weeks away. Well, that will be the champion for 20. Don't worry about the year. That's going to get weird. It's just our fourth annual. That's awesome.

For you honest and win an overtime victory. We've had Brody win one. We've had Randall win one. That's right. Yeah, I think I'm still the reigning champion, if I remember correctly. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. Who's the Gibroni that's going again?

Well, we'll have a few gibronies there. But our Gibroni champion right now, I think, was you, Cori. You won the Gibroni Championship last year. Does that get him a trophy up in my office? He'll be in the tournament. He'll be there. But our last Gibroni episode was won by Sarah. Team Corey.

You're going to have to fight her for the next title. All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four. so our winners should get eight 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 everything. Suckers! Question one, the topic is fishing. This first great question is via John Mertz, and as always, it will be multiple choice. Oh, I know, John? Do you? Tell me about John Mertz. Yeah, he makes pike spear and decoys.

Oh, well, that's a fitting question he has here. He's connected to the Latvian community of Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to Montana and Minnesota, this is the recommended minimum amount of ice for a person to ice fish. Is it 2 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches, or 8 inches? What a relevant question. Gianni, was he on the Wai Tour, or not the Wally Tour, the Fur Hat Ice? No. John Merck's, the Minneapolis, Latvian.

According to Montana and Minnesota, this is the recommended minimum amount of ice for a person to ice fish. Slow year for pike's bearding around these parts this year. Oh, it's 60 degrees outside. Two inches, four inches, six inches, or eight inches. You feel like you know this? He didn't even need the choices. Actually, I'd turn around. I was like, oh, no.

number I would have picked is not there. Okay. Your own personal number. Interesting. According to Montana and Minnesota, this is the recommended minimum amount of ice for a person to ice fish. Two inches, four inches, six inches, or eight inches. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Yonis says four. Roman, six. Corey, four. Randall, six. Alex. 4. Marge, 4, Brody, 4. The correct answer is 4. No! Think about half of our room. Got that one right. They say 4 inches of clear ice is enough to hold you and your gear. It's 5 to 7 inches for a snowmobile, 7 to 8 inches for a UTV or AT, 9 to 12 inches for a car, 12 to 17 inches for a truck, and 20 plus inches for a truck plus a permanent. ice shack. What were you going to say, Brody? Three inches? That's what I'd heard too.

Three inches would probably do you okay. Montana and Minnesota say wait for four. It's better to be safe. Yeah, I think they're giving you a little question in there so they don't, they're covering their, you know what. Question two, the topic is conservation. This tool, which is named after the man who invented it in 1911, detects and measures radiation. Corey and Randall, Quick to answer. Brody joining them. This is such a Randall question. This tool,

which is named after the man who invented it in 1911, detects and measures radiation. Yeah, well, you're the only one in the room. Spelling won't matter unless it's so far off that you know, it becomes something else. I don't think I'll be able to spell this.

This tool, which is named after the man who invented it in 1911, detects and measures radiation. Yanni, do you like your answer? No, wait, what's the category here? Conservation. I guess you're going to explain that. Sure. What was the Shelby Index?

Four on this one. I think so. I should probably keep thinking it through. I just kind of wrote down the first thing that came to mind. Brody, do you have this one right? Measures. radiation. Yes, I'm quite certain I do.

Corey, do you have this one, right? No. Marge and Roman have blank white boys. Was his last name radiologist? This tool, which is named after the man who invented it in 1911, detects and measures radiation. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Way to go, Janice. It's in the depths of my brain somewhere, but it's not going to come. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says Geiger counter. Roman without an answer. Corey, without an answer, Randall says, Geiger counter. Alex Rotkin,

Marge, without an answer. Brody says Geiger. The correct answer is Geiger counter. What was that? Yeah. Hans Geiger invented the Geiger counter at the University of Manchester. The most radioactive place in America

is the Hanford Nuclear Site in Eastern Washington, where plutonium was created for atomic bombs. The site was choked. for its remote location that wasn't too close to people, highways, or railroads. It's home to America's single largest environmental cleanup that's been going on since 1989. I believe it's Hanford. Hanford.

Okay, Hanford. Just H-A-N-F-O-R-D. I think I saw they have like 10,000 employees dedicated to cleaning that up. Big one. Question three, the topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Sean Vitruba. despite its name, the tick-borne illness, Rocky Mountain Blank, blank,

is most common in the South. Our room has the confidence back. Everyone, quick to answer this one. You need to fill in those last two blanks. Despite its name, the tick-born illness, Rocky Mountain, blank, blank, is most common in the South. In turkey season, whenever I got one of them things crawling on me,

I'm like, is this the one? Yeah. No kidding. But is this the one? Then there's like now, when we were kids, there used to be like one thing you might end up with. Now you're like, well, I could get this, this, this, or this. Well, we're fortunate to be like in a part of the country that has the least of all the tick diseases. You're right.

If you're in New England or the south or Great Lakes, that'd be real worried. Spooky. Despite its name, the tick-borne illness, Rocky Mountain Blank Blank, is most common in the south. Does everyone have this one right? That's why you got to wear the Yuma bass layers. there you go. Corey, was that bear you shot last year? Was that thing covered in ticks?

No. No. I mean, there might have been some that I couldn't find, but where a bear I killed a couple years before that, killed him, and then hours later you could just watch his hide and watch the ticks just crawl out. It's gross.

Different part of the state, though. Is everybody ready? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says, Spotted Fever. Roman, without an answer, Corey and Randall say spotted.

Fever. Alex says Lyme disease. Marge. Spotted fever. Brody, spotted fever. The correct answer is spotted fever. The three states with the most cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever are North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. It is transmitted by dog ticks and wood ticks and does not spread from person to person. Symptoms include a non-itchy rash, fever, headache, sore throat, and sensitivity to light. You don't explain why it's Rocky Mountain? I don't know. I assume it was found in the Rockies. And the infectious disease laboratory in Hamilton, Montana, the Bitterrand Valley.

Oh, yeah, they have like that whole lab is dedicated to that disease, right? A lot of, I think there's a lot of different diseases that they study. Question four, the topic is hunting. This animal has been featured on Winchester's logo since 1919. Brody, quick to answer. He is the only one. That's what popped into my head. This is question four, and the topic is hunting.

This animal has been featured on Winchester's logo since 1919. How specific do you need this answer? I think you can just say... If you thought it was a channel catfish, you could just say catfish. Thank you. That was going to be my answer. Same exact example? No, no, no, no.

I was going to use the dog. that we always use. Despite its name, the tick-borne illness. Oh, I'm sorry. We're on this next one. This animal has been featured on Winchester's logo since 1919.

Yanni, do you have this one right? I believe so. Randall, do you have this one right? Manil and I were just talking about Winchester Model 70s. Randall's slightly slower to answer than I expected. The gun guru is hesitant.

I know, I know. Is it okay for me to put out there that I'm selling a special model 70 out there and if you're interested, you could... What if I said no? Shoot me a DM. Well, then I wouldn't mention what I'm selling.

Alex, do you have this one right? I went down to Jack O'Connor rabbit hole yesterday. Okay. Oh. Kind of confident. That's interesting, because I was talking about Jack or not? On trivia, last week, you had a first edition,

Jack O'Connor book. But then yesterday I was talking to a fellow who's dad at the ripe age of, like... 78 is going sheep hunting in the Northwest Territories this year. And I was like, dude, he might go with him. I said, you and your dad should read some Jack O'Connor. Oh, yeah. Read some Duncan Gilchrist.

Read some Tony Russ. I feel like it's another great, dull sheep hunting. Just so you get really comfortable with taking wild shots at sheep. The stories I used to love that, O'Connor, right? It was on him and his old lady, which is drive down into Old Mexico to sheep hunt. Yeah. Like, just go.

Cus deer hunt. Yanni, what caliber Winchester are you selling? It's a 655 Swede. Mm, why are you getting rid of it? I just, you know, as much as I like that gun, I love that caliber. You know, it's one of Chuck Hawks' favorite

calibers. I love how popular it is in Europe and all that good stuff. It's just been sitting in my gun cabinet and it hasn't been hunted with for quite some time and it's just another thing and I like to get rid of things that I'm not using. Why don't you just give it to one of your girls?

Because they have sick crosses to shoot. You know? They should work up to that. Would you give a discount to Randall if he wanted that thing? Possibly. It's not powerful enough for Randall. I reached out to my gunbroker contacts. I feel like we have a pretty decent idea of the market right now.

Oh. I'm not really in that market. Okay. Again, we're on question for. This animal has been featured on Winchester's logos, since 1919. Is everybody ready? Yeah.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says horse. Roman says wild turkey. Corey says deer. Randall says deer. Alex, pheasant, Marge. Horse, Brody, horse. Nice work, Marge.

The correct answer is horse. Oh my goodness. Randall. I was stunned. Well, what I was doing is I was picturing boxes of ammo. And in my mind, I'm like, am I picturing Winchester's logo or am I picturing the Winchester

XPD or season? A lot of ammo. I couldn't decide. Because that does have antlers. Yeah, I see it now. The tricky thing I feel about the Winchester is there's a rider, right?

There's a man. There was the artist. So if I said homo sapiens? We're not going to give it to you if you said human. Phil is going to show us that painting. The Winchester logo is called the horse and rider, featuring a man. cradling a Winchester rifle atop a galloping horse.

It was painted by Philip Goodwin, who was commissioned to make the logo after the end of World War I. Now, in that painting, it has some, like, sagebrush and a bison skull, but the bison skull didn't make it into the logo. The logo only shows the man and the horse. So bison, uh, not correct,

despite it being in Phillips' original painting. That's what Yonis used to look like when he was hunting with a six, five swede. I would like to have one of those rifles that he's packing. I'd keep, if I saw it, if I had a, like a, what is that a, at 94? Yep, Randall? In 1894. I got one in mine, but it's that for a little what, Randall know this.

They were all side ejects, you know, but then for a few years, they made a top eject, and that's the one I have. People hated it. That's cool. Right in your four. So when your scope mount had to be off to the side. So you look really tactical. with your offset optics.

With my tasko? My tasco. Is it like fully off to the side? Oh yeah. Or is it just like kind of off the side? The amount of it like 10 or 11 o'clock. Super weird. Bill is showing us that painting right now.

You can see it over on our YouTube channel. I'll be honest. The horse didn't even cross my mind. Wow. What would have been after deer if you had to choose another something? I don't know. I was lost. Pretty iconic logo.

It's been around for over 100 years. Years. Starting with the animals and trying to figure it out from there. It's the wrong way to do it. Question five, the topic is cooking.

This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Will Britt for sending this great question. Will is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week,

then send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com. The topic is cooking. This 12-letter word is defined as, quote, to restore a dehydrated food to its original consistency or texture

by adding a liquid such as water. 12 letters. 12 letter word. I'm going to recount just to make sure I have that. Still 12 letters. This 12 letter word is defined as to restore a dehydrated food to its original consistency or texture

by adding a liquid such as water. Randall and Yanni have their answers locked in. You boys have this one right? That's a lot. Well, I wrote down the first thing that came to mine and then I counted the letters, and I came up with 12, so I feel pretty good. They're the only two players with their whiteboards down. 12-letter words defined as to restore a dehydrated food to its original consistency or texture by adding a liquid.

How many letters does rehydrate have? Not enough. Damn, I was going to go with that. Rehydration. It's closer. Much closer. It is. This is question five.

It's our listener question of the week. What doesn't have the right number of letters? It's not that easy. It does if you use your imagination. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. If you spell it, rehydration with an S-H-H-U-N. Rehydration exclamation.

Two ends. 12-letter word. To restore a dehydrated food to its original consistency or texture by adding a liquid, such as water. I was fine with the ice missing out on the ice answer, but this game is not liking it now that I got the gun question wrong. But you think you have this one correct? Pretty sure.

Okay. But I guess we'll find out. Is everybody ready? This is going to make me mad. It's making me mad already. As soon as Alex is done writing, we're going to flip over the whiteboards. Might show the tear. How many letters you got, Alex?

I don't know how I got it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says, reconstitute. Roman, without an answer. Corey, without an answer. Randall, reconstitute. Alex, liquefication. Marge without an answer.

Brody, without an answer. Randall and Yanni got it. It's reconstitute. Things that you might reconstitute include dehydrated fruits and veggies, freeze-dried meals, and instant coffee. Danielle Pruitt says dried mushrooms should be a pantry staple because they're so easy to reconstitutes. and because you're left with a mushroom broth afterwards.

All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Let's see the scoreboard. After question, five. We've got Roman with zero points. Alex Plachta has one. Corey has two. Randall and Maggie are tied up with three points. Brody Henderson has four, and will he go to overtime today?

We'll find out. It's Janice Patel's in first place with five points in a perfect game. Trying to buck the trend, Phil. Okay. She's going to win it in regulation. And March pointed out she is tied with Randall. First time ever. That's great, March.

First time ever? Yeah. Wow. You're doing great. Thanks. And Randall is tortured. I'm fine. It's not really fun anymore at this point.

I'm fine. I just hope to get a couple more good jokes in. If I can get Yana, still have four more times this episode. I'll be happy. It's anybody's game. Anybody's game. Question six. The topic is wildlife.

Name two of the three states with the highest population of alligators. Alligators. That should be easy. How about two states that don't have it? Two of the three. Two of the three states with the highest population of alligators. Go with what you know. Phil pointed out, this is our 200th episode of trivia.

It took us 200 episodes to have question about. Alligator populations. So we can only put two. Just put two of them. You put a third one. You get it wrong. Mm. All right.

Name two of the three states with the highest population of gators. Yon is still thinking this might ruin his perfect game. Spencer, does it feel like you've written over 2,000 trivia questions? It does. Yes. It does feel like that. But thankfully, our listeners are great about sending examples. This show is going to go forever.

Named two of the three states with the highest population of alligators. Yanni's still thinking. How many states do you have down, Janus? I have three. Wow. Randall was going to make a joke to make you laugh. No. I was just going to reiterate the point that you made earlier that if you put down three, you get it wrong.

You didn't want to remind him. Yeah, I was actually going to be considerate. You're headed the right direction, Marge. named two of the three states with the highest population of alligators. Yanni? Yeah. Do you have your two picked out? No, you're waiting on me.

I think we're waiting on you. Brody, I think, you don't need to. No, I think I know this because you shot an alligator. Didn't we eat it? Not me. Somebody did. I'd love to, but I never had. Somebody brought some to the old office and we ate like fried alligator.

I'm like blinking on it. One of my buddies shot one and I brought it in. Look at memory on Marge. That's why she's tied with Randall. Is everybody ready? Very chicken-like. Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Janice says Louisiana, Florida. He crossed out Mississippi. Roman says Florida, Louisiana. Corey, Florida, Georgia. Randall, Florida, Louisiana. Alex, Florida, Louisiana. Marge, Florida, Louisiana. She crossed out Texas and Georgia.

Brody says Florida, Louisiana. I've seen him in Georgia. The three states, are Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. Nice. One to put Ted. Pretty. Texas.

Louisiana has the most gators in America. Yeah. Louisiana has the most gators in America with an estimated population north of two million. That's followed by Florida at 1.3 million. Texas at 400,000. Georgia at 200,000. South Carolina at 100,000. Alabama at 70,000.

And Mississippi at 32,000. Phil has a picture here. of their population density by states. And then you got some stragglers that have made it up into North Carolina, Arkansas, and Oklahoma with 100. My goodness. Oklahoma, yeah. Louisiana, Florida, and Texas.

Question seven, the topic is cooking. This type of clam, which serious eats says is, quote, tender and beefy, is named after its sharp shell that can slice hands and feet. This is question seven. The topic is cooking. Brody has his answer. Janus has his answer. This type of clam, which Sirius Eat says is tender and beefy, is named after its sharp shell that can slice hands and feet.

Randall, do you have this one right? I do. Roman, do you have this one right? I do. I think. Hell yeah, Roman. Have you ever caught one of these, Roman? I had some in Baja two years ago for some local fishermen, and they stuck with me.

That's why. I'm feeling better about this answer. This type of clam. You mean they poisoned you. I was going to say. I was just excited to try them. They were the first time I had a plan. Serious Eat says,

are tender and beefy is named after the sharp shell that can slice hands and feet. I got poisoned by oysters and bahawans. Ooh. I got poisoned by oysters. Close as a death I've ever been. In Seattle. Really?

Really? What do you think the problem were the time that you guys got poisoned? Were they like the toxic season? We had a table full of people like this, eating oysters, and I got the bad one. Just like, look of the draw, man. This was at an event where they had like a big thing of ice and guys just shucking oysters and I ate like 200. It'd be like if you had 30 beers and you're like, oh.

I've never been sicker in my life. Must have had a bad beer last night. Yeah. No, it was bad. This type of clam, which Sirius Eat says is tender and beefy, is named after its sharp shell that can slice hands and feet. Is everybody ready? Ouch, it's Christmas.

Gonna wait on Corey. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says Razor, Roman, Razor. Corey, without an answer, Randall, Razor. Alex says tender, beefy clam. Marge without an answer. Brody says Razor. The correct answer is razor clam.

It's always the simplest answer. There are Pacific razor clams and Atlantic razor clams, which are found up and down the coasts of North America. Pacific razors are best served, steamed, fried, or in chowder, or saviche, while Atlantic razors are best served, steamed, grilled, or seared. Serious eat says they taste like, quote, kissing a mermaid. Question eight, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Sam Blumenfeld.

Huck and Jim catch a catfish quote as big as a man while floating this river in adventures of Huckleberry Finn Oh no! Really? Yes, Randall.

Do you still have your perfect game, Yonis? Yeah. Okay, question eight may ruin it with a literary question. Huck and Jim catch a catfish as big as a man while floating this river

in adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I've read the book. I was thinking the same thing as Randolph. I just wasn't going to say it. It's practically a main character. I don't think I'm giving much away here. No, you're not. You're not. You're not. The catfish is a main character?

The river. Huck Finn was way better than the Tom Sawyer book. In my opinion. Yeah, but nobody wrote a good song called Huck Finn. But it was better. But it was better. I'm fixing to read the book James this year.

Percival Everett, which won a bunch of awards, and it's supposed to be the same story but written from Jim's perspective instead of Huck's perspective. Huck and Jim catch a catfish as big as a man while floating this river in adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Yanni, do you like your answer? Yeah. This is question eight. It shouldn't be a fishing question. So you can keep the perfect game going.

What should it be? I don't know. It's based on Yanni's earlier protests about the outdoor boys. I thought he'd make a fuss about this. I've seen Rush in concert three times, Randall. Really? Oh, yeah. Great show.

The only two bands I've seen in concert three times are Pearl Jam and Poison. Poison. Yeah. We had a group of guys in high school where we just went to all kinds of poison shows. Brody, do you have this one right? No, no. There are other people that went to way more than that. Oh, sure.

Poisoning me. What kind of music is poison? Bad medicine, you don't remember that hit? I saw him open for kiss. Okay. River Bend. Maybe I've heard it. I just don't think I can tell you, is it cherry pie?

Is that poison? No, that's Warren. I saw that too. Bad medicine. That was at the Rock never stopped tour. The only thing I know about Brett Michaels is dating show. Bad medicine. Is poison?

Every rose has a word to me. Is that poison? Okay. I've definitely heard it before. Burt. Dard-da-da-dud-da-dud. I just needed a... Phil, sing as a...

Every rose has a... Sing a song. Oh, yeah. Of course, had made his career. Definitely a heard of voice. There we go. Bill,

I bet you love rock of love. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No. No? I can't get on the whole reality thing. I can't get into Bravo stuff. It's just not my...

Yeah, but it was... This was like 20 years... No, not 20 years ago. Probably 15 years ago. So it's just different. You know, when VH1 is making a dating show with Brett Michaels, how do you now watch that?

Do you know what MTV played their last video ever the other day, shuddered it. It's done. MTV's gone. I didn't hear that. You mean like music video? Or just like they're off the end it. I think they're the last thing they played.

I mean, it was irrelevant by the time I was of age to watch MTV. Then it was just like the jackass channel. And whatever. He spent a lot of time watching 120 minutes in college. It's a good show. Is everybody ready? Again, Huck and Jim.

Catch a catfish as big as a man while floating this river in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says Mississippi, Roman Mississippi, Corey and Randall and Alex, the whole room says Mississippi. Everybody got it correct. It's the Mississippi River.

The duo is using a skinned rabbit as bait when they catch a giant catfish. They say it measured 6 feet 2 inches long and weighed over 200 pounds. That would make it 57 pounds heavier than the current world record blue cat. Inside the belly of the cat, they find a brass button, spool, and other garbage. Huck says they eat it, and that, quote, his meats as white as snow and makes for a good fry.

Bill, let's get a scoreboard update with two questions to go. Wow. What's? Roman and Alex and Corey all have three points. Maggie has five. Randall has six. Brody has seven. Yannis has eight, and he is in first place.

With a perfect game still. the pressure mounts. Have you had a perfect game before? I don't know. Okay. If he can get... It doesn't mean that much to him, Spencer. He can get 10 right.

Meat eater will double the donation to $1,000. I think I would have remembered. Maybe one, but I don't... I'm not sure. Question nine, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ann Katzenmeyer. Besides Antarctica, what is the only continent

without a native deer species? besides Antarctica, what is the only continent without a native deer species? The room is thinking hard. Randall and Marge have their answers. I'm just going to see if I can beat Randall now. I'm cheering for you, Marge. Yeah, you pointed out so many times that we were tied. You haven't emphasized now that I'm beating her.

That's less fun. Question nine. There's another laugh. Got one. Besides Antarctica. What is the only continent without a native deer species? This one's tricky.

Oh, yeah. It's a good question. Perfect game on the line for Janus. How many continents are there? Nine? You use your imagination. I can't tell. Oh, seven.

Yeah. There are seven continents, continents. Continence, continents. You know that song? I don't know that song. I'm pretty sure that's a song. Phil, can you look that up? Yeah, sure.

There are seven continents. If there isn't, Randall, seven continents? You should make a song. Does that song teach you other things, or just that there are seven continents? I think there's some way that you can squeeze all of the names into that melody. Ah.

And it's, you get it, Phil? You play it? Yeah. Hold on, wait. It's coming. Was it? Nope, it's coming.

That was just the intro. split up into continent seven in all This isn't the one I'm thinking of But I like this one a lot We might get flagged some sort of copyright things I'm not gonna keep playing it I've taken over your show Spencer

What is it the wiggles? Is that uh It wasn't the wiggles That was some other random Yeah It's like Mary had a little lamb But there was seven continents Besides Antarctica

What is the only continent Without a native deer species Janice how do you feel about your answer? I don't have an answer yet Okay. We're waiting on you and Roman. Yanni? It's a tough question, Yonis.

I know I kind of feel bad now. I hope he gets it right. What do you feel bad about? Just like if Yanni Blue is a perfect game now, I'm kind of cheering for him at this point. Oh, thanks. I'm out of it. Me too.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says Africa. Roman, South America. Corey, Australia. Randall, South America. Alex, Australia. Marge. Australia, Brody, Australia.

The correct answer is Australia. Donis has lost his perfect game. God, that was a tough question. I heard of Australia had foul. We're one of their natives. Because of its isolation from other land masses, Australia has no native, deer, monkeys, cats, or bears. And their only native canine, the dingo, was brought there 3,000 years ago by humans.

Australia does have six established species of non-native deer that live there today, though. The fallow is among them. All right, here's the correct answer to review so far. One is four inches of ice. Two, Geiger counter. Three, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Four. Horse.

Five. Reconstitute. Six. Louisiana, Florida, Texas. Seven. Razor clam. Eight. Mississippi River.

Nine. Australia. Bill, let's get one more scoreboard. update before question 10. It looks like Yanni might be headed to O.T. one more time. Because it's down to Brody and Yannis. They have eight points a piece.

And we should point out that Randall and Maggie are time. Yeah, I was going to do that as well. Same with Corey and Alex. Type the third. The Romans on an island. Australia, they call it. Question 10. The topic is wildlife.

This is the official bird of Meredland, which has the state's biggest city in its name. This is the official bird of Maryland, which has the state's biggest city in its name. Oh. Janice and Brody are currently tied with eight points apiece. I'm misspell this like crazy, I think. Hmm. And they both now have an answer.

Brody, do you have this one right? Boy, if I don't. I'm going to get made fun of my field. Yanni, do you have this one right? I believe so. Randall, do you have this one right? Oh, yes. Okay.

Oh, yes. Like you will have defeated Marge. I know. I wasn't going to point that out. Marge, you know this. Yeah, don't you do bird watching? You're giving Brody hints too in the same time. This is the official bird of Maryland, which has the state's biggest city in its name.

Is everybody ready? Oh, biggest city in its name. That's right. Yeah. The name of the bird. Yeah. I meant to tell you that. Also not a bird.

I'm glad you wanted to. Is it a mammal, a lizard? It's a reptile. I actually had no idea what it was. I was just going off of a college football name. It is the right association, though, yeah. It is the official bird of Maryland, which has the state's biggest city in its name. Go with what you know.

The biggest city of Maryland is in the name of the bird. It's in there, man. It's a fun question. Thank you. Corey, do you have this one? No, I don't know Maryland. Like, I don't know Razor clams.

Maryland. Sounds like a... Start with the biggest city. You know the biggest city in Maryland. Sounds like a theme part. And then associate a bird with it. I think I know the capital of Maryland. I can't even name a city in Maryland.

Yes, you can. No. What do they do in Maryland? No, but you're on the right track. Nobody knows. You're on the right. I mean, very happy, obviously. What else?

No, there's a lot of water. Randall is trying to nudge Alex in the right direction. Nobody likes a tie, Spencer, even for third place. I don't know about that. Is everybody ready? No. Yeah, let's do this. I'm not going to hold anybody off. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Yannis says the Baltimore Oriole. Oh my God. Roman says Washington Cardinal. Your name is every other mascot associated in the state of Maryland. Randall says Raven. Alex says Raven And before that he must have had Terrapin

Is that what he had? Marge without an answer Brody says Baltimore Oriol The correct answer is the Baltimore Oriole. Do you know that bird? Yes. Maggie? Yes, I do. The Baltimore Oriole is named after It's black and orange plumage,

which matches the colors on the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore, who the city is named after. Of course, the most famous Baltimore Orioles of all time are Cow Ripkin Jr. and Brooks Robinson. They like eating orange slices.

If you live where they are. It's because of the color mostly. All right, we're headed to overtime with Brody and Janus who have nine correct answers.

Classic Yanni. Time breaker. Boy, this would be poetic. The overtime topic is fishing. I mean, the foreshadowing What did the world

record Burbett way? Holy cow. Gonna be a chunker. That's a tough question. What did the world record burbit way? Go to one decimal point for your answer. Man. But if you're closest to the nearest toll number,

we're going to add that extra $100 donation today. What does a big old burbit way? What did the world record burbit way? Wait, what are we doing a point? Point something. One decimal point. I just got an invitation to go burbit fishing. We're at.

With my old burbit fishing partner. in the Great White North. Okay. Great North, White North, Minnesota. Alaska. They have ice up there. Little limb lining. What did the world record Burbett way?

We're down to Brody and Janus, but the whole room is going to play along, Roman, because if somebody can get it closest to the nearest whole number, we're going to add an extra $100 donation today. Are you going to go, Randall? I'd love to. I just need to figure. out a way to make this company pay for it.

I already did a burbit show in Alaska. It's going to be a tough sell, Randall. I bet what, I bet the way we do. It's way more exciting. Bring a can-Am. What did the world record verbit way?

Jets Ghanis has his answer. Brody has his answer. It's the rest of the room ready. I watched a recent Jayce Seam and Syshishing program. I was very entertained by, where he went around Lake of the Woods trying to catch eight species, I feel like. Oh, wow.

One of them was the burbit. Although up there they call them pout. They didn't even drop in the eel. They have the eel pout festival in Marge's great home state. Is everybody ready? They do. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Roman says 28.5.

Corey says 26.3. Randle says 9.1. Alex says 67 Large says 61.8 Are two players remaining We have Janice saying 20.1 And Brody saying 23.6. I'm on the neighborhood.

On the lowest side, I think. The correct answer. Who's going to win? It's 25.1. No. Making Brody out of there. He was two pounds off Of the correct answer.

Corey was one pound off. The correct answer, 25.13 pounds. It was caught in Lake Defenbaker in Saskatchewan in 2010. The angler, Sean Conrad, was using a whole herring. Sean and his twin brother hold 10 IGFA records, including the world record for rainbow trout that was caught in the same lake in 2009. Go listen to Episode 792 of Me, Dieter Radio, for an interview with, John, which I think you were on that episode.

Yeah, I remember that big rainbow shot, I think. Oh, I wasn't paying attention. I was thinking about something else. Brody defeated him anyway. Brody, where's the $500 going today? Our buddy Cal was on, what was in D.C. yesterday in the hallowed halls of Congress fighting for us,

so we'll donate to BHA. BHA getting $500 from me, Dieter, and Brody. roadie on kind of a heater going into the meat eater tournament. Randall, you nervous? That's not where I want to be. I want to go into the tournament at a low point. Okay. That's sort of how I've been thinking about it.
