This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Join me and follow the podcast conspiracy theories, where we explore what's really going on behind the official narrative. Like, what if the Loch Ness monster isn't a monster at all, but an elephant? What do the richest 1% know that we don't? Why are they building all those bunkers? And really, what the heck is going on with the Denver airport?

Join me every week to see just how high up. Up this goes on the Spotify podcast, conspiracy theories. Listen on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. 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, Alyssa, Corey, Seth, and Tressa. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Deer's Four Verticles, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

And there is a prize. mediator will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 12. That's how many weeks it's been since Randall last won a game of trivia that I hosted. His last victory was on November 5th a full three months ago. That's mean. Randall. Oh, I won when Nate played.

That's right. What's been going on, Randall? Three months. Well, I've just, I've lost all confidence. I think, I also think that there is an uncons. conscious effort on your part to change the questions. I think it would be very difficult for you as you're reading the questions to be like, for you to not say to yourself, that's one that Randall would know, but nobody else would

know. Like, I think you've learned me and you've now retroactively sort of begun dabbling and conspiracies theories. I don't know. It's just human nature. When you're looking at your questions, you're like, is this a good game or not? you'd weed out the ones that I'm good at. I would not do that.

No, because I feel like Brody, I feel like Brody has more shared knowledge, you're saying. I feel like there's, I just got knowledge, buddy. Yeah, Brody, I don't know that I could pick out like what Brody knows. But like pop culture questions, things of this nature. I just, I don't know, that's the only way, there's nothing that's happened on my end. Okay. Your hair's gotten longer. It has, it has.

It's 2026 now. I need someone to cut my hair. I'll do it. There's plenty of people. Yeah, we could do a real good viral video of doing that right now. How would you cut his hair? I want to do it on Radio Live, actually. While I'm sitting in the host chair, I want someone to cut my...

Just stick a bowl on your head. Yeah, I can do multiple different cuts. One being a buzz cut in different lengths. That's not what I'm looking for. I could go on, but yeah, let me know. I want like a feathered... I want like a salon-style feathered cut above the... ears. Just I don't want them on my ears anymore.

Business up front, party in the back? Yeah, I think you should do a mullet. That's what I'm leading towards. Yeah. I could do that. Okay. Let's talk. November 5th, Randall, the world was a different place then. The rut was just arriving. We were also full of energy. I did have a traumatic. I did have a traumatic experience on a deer hunt. Okay. Crushed my confidence. You said that nothing happened in your world, but now I think we've gotten to the bottom of it. Oh, God. Maybe. There's the 2025 hunting season. Maybe there is something wrong with me. Broke something inside of you. Are you just as wounded as that buck?

My, I can feel my face getting hot right now. All right. IFAQ. If you have an IFAQ, send it to trivia at the medeater.com with the subject line. IFAQ. Sam Hedorn says, why don't we see more bloopers or outtakes? This podcast doesn't get any editing. The most editing Phil does is like if we put a movie clip in, he has to take that out.

Stay tuned for later in this episode to see the only editing that we do. You hear bloopers and outtakes on the show. I'm looking at chops over here. Because it just doesn't get taken out. We have some housekeeping on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about the six-letter word defined as a sudden brief and intense storm of wind and snow. The correct answer was squall, but a few listeners wrote in asking if I'd also accept Flurry. Flurry's definition is, especially of snow or leaves that are moved in a small swirling mass by a sudden gust of wind.

six letters, almost the same definition. So if you said Flurry, we'll give you that point as well. Right? I don't think that. I don't think it has the connotation of intensity. I don't think so either. But it didn't affect anything in this room. So for the listeners, the like half dozen of them who wrote in, they went through the effort to get that point.

We're going to give them that point. Okay. If we were playing that day, though, Corey said Flurry, I don't think we would accept it. Yeah. If someone was like, oh, man, we're driving home and we got caught in a snowflurry. flurry. I don't think that makes sense. Sure. Not the same intent. I think it depends on where you're from. If you're from the south, you might call

a squall, but if you're pretty used to it, like, that's just a little flurry. We just had a little squall come through. We did, and that's the last snow for like the next two weeks. I'd call that a flurry. That felt flurry adjacent. We never saw it.

We were in here. We were in here. It was dry pavement when we came in here and we came out as a nice inch and a half coating. Was it last week we had like a textbook squall come through where you could see the wall coming from the west that moved across the whole valley? That was like a textbook squall, I think. They used to have it all the time in Pennsylvania and then people would pile it up on interstate 80, like big pile-ups. That was a dangerous stretch of highway, man.

Yeah. Before you get to stay college, that real hilly, windy section of I-80. Spooky. Squall or flurry. All right, the shall be in next 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 cooking, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the James Beard Foundation, a medium-rare duck breast is this temperature. Is it?

120 degrees Fahrenheit 130 degrees 140 degrees or 150 degrees according to the James Beard Foundation a medium rare duck breast is this temp 120

130 130 140 or 150 and for our listeners who measure these things in Celsius that is 49 degrees 54 degrees 60 degrees or 66 degrees How thoughtful Look at this guy

What's up Canada? That's right The rest of the world According to the James Beard Foundation A medium rare duck breast is this temp For all of you that like it Simpler 120 degrees

And easier 130 degrees 130 degrees 140 degrees Or 150 degrees And again in Celsius That's 49 54

60 or 66. If it's not what I chose, I'm going to argue with James Beard Foundation. I'm not going to change. I will tell you that Danielle Pruitt agrees with James Beard. In her duck breast recipe, she has the exact same medium rare type. I believe that she and I are on the same page. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says 130.

Alyssa, 140. Randall, 130. Corey, 130. Tressa, 120, Janice, 130, Brody, 130. The correct answer is 130. Thank you, Daniel.

It ruined it very well. That is 54 degrees Celsius for our international listeners. Danielle Pruitt agrees with James Beard, saying medium rare is 130 degrees on a duck breast and that you can press on the meat to feel for doneness like you would for a steak. To learn how to cook a medium rare duck, go check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe on our website called How to Cook the Perfect Duck Breast.

That recipe has a perfect five-star rating from folks who have tried it. Oh boy, if you want to see how to cook a medium rare Murgans or breasts, you should stay tuned also. Yeah. Stay tuned on our YouTube channel. Yeah.

Is that a roast episode or is it that a Steve project? Steve project. Yeah, it's a passion project for Steve Rangangener. A medium rare mingerganger. and we ate them all. Are they good? You're going to have to watch. So we cooked up a bunch of duck, right?

We had Morgans or what else? I assume Mallard. The gold and Mallard. The gold standard. The like. And some pintail. The leaning towards not good. Amen.

The very not good. The fish eater of Morganser. Yeah. Question two. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Eric Maxon. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank.

is famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. So we're looking for his last name. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank. I don't know why I know it, but I do. He's famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Alyssa and Brody have an answer. Alyssa, do you have this one right? Maybe my kids watch it or something, but I think I know it.

Brody's confident. He answered very quickly. Alyssa says she maybe has it. Janice has joined them with an answer. Janice, do you have this one right? Let's check, Brody. Close. Oh, all right.

Maybe it's closing up. For the last name of this person, biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank is famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Janice maybe has it.

He's going to have it. To twist my own. I might not be right, but it came to me real quick. I've seen neither of these shows. Now, this seems like a question Randall would get correct. If I were asking myself this yesterday, as I was writing, this, would Randall Williams get this right? Would he know this answer? I would say yes.

And he currently has a blank whiteboard. No, I wrote down a joke answer already. I don't even know what these shows are. Which is weird because you knew what Captain Planet was. I figured up with. Yeah. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank is famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Now, if you're asking me, I just, yeah, these are current shows.

Not giving you any hints. I want to just say Mark Probst, producer of Survivor, but. Get that wrong. Jeff. It's Jeff. Blank. Oh, maybe that's an answer. I don't think he's a.

Biologist and conservation. He's not a conservation. He's not a conservationist. Famous for Osey. He's going wild and ABC's ocean mysteries. Could be Jeff Prox. Is everybody ready? Oh, no.

Somebody write Jeff Prox just to see. Just to see if it's right. Oh, put it back. Put it back. Put it back. Just to see it's right. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth, without an answer.

Alyssa says, Prox. We were thinking the same thing. Randall says Dr. Ian Malcolm. Corey says Goldblum. Tressa Goldblum. A lot of gold.

Janice, Gold win, Brody, Corwin. The correct answer is Corwin. Brody got it. C-O-R-W-I-N. Jeff Corwin.

Phil has a picture of him for us. Other shows he's worked on include the Jeff Corwin experience, Ocean Treks, Wildlife Nation, and Into Alaska. His hosting and producing

has earned him two daytime Emmy Awards in 2014 and 2016. He also played himself in a 2000 three episode of CSI Miami where he helped detectives retrieve a human foot from a live crocodile.

Wow. Jeff Corwin. That photo makes me uncomfortable. You recognize him now? Who's the guy in the blue shirt? It looks like Mark Kenyon kind of. That's Jeff Corwin. You didn't know that was him? No. I think that picture's probably about 20 years old. It's not a monkey. It's an orangutan.

He does have some Mark Kenyon vibes going. Good joke. Cool. Question 3's topic is out. doors. With 90 million users, all blank says it's, quote, the best app for hiking, biking, and running. A confident room is maybe seven for seven. With 90 million users, all blank says it's, quote, the best app for hiking, biking, and running. Never used it. That's a lot of users. I've never used either.

90 million. With 90 million users, all blank. I have. says it's the best app for biking. Biking and running. I used to use it a lot. I haven't touched it for a while, though. It's a good app. My wife, we're just talking about this app two days ago. I like it.

When springtime conditions come around, it's a good way to get, like, recent data on trail conditions. I like it for knowing how popular a trail is, if I'm in an unfamiliar place. There's a big difference between a trail that has five reviews, and 500 reviews. Like, recent data from actual, like, people who are on the trail.

Yeah. Is everybody ready? Or if between April 15th and June 15th, someone says a black bear on a trail. Go ahead and reveal your answers. The whole room says trails. The whole room got it right. The correct answer is all trails. All trails was created in 2010 and was named one of the 100 best apps by Android in 2017.

It provides route information for more than half a million. trails worldwide. All Trails has a free version along with a premium membership for $36 a year or $80 a year. Question four, the topic is fishing. I better cancel that. You think you're paying for one of the premium ones? He's expensing it. Oh, maybe I'm not. Guess me at the premium. I probably have a free one. Question for the topic is fishing. This seven-letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a bee moth. Oh, shit. What now?

This seven-letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a bee-moth. Randall has his answer. Corey has an answer, but it must not be seven letters. No, I have some of this in my freezer. This seven-letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a bee moth. Brody, do you have this one right? I got seven letters.

Randall, do you have this one right? I got seven letters. It aligns with part of the cool. I have no idea what a bee moth is. That's what this bait will turn into. I never make it that far.

This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a bee moth. Do you have seven letters now, Corey? I do. You solved it.

I hope so. Man, we met. I bet you got it. You think? Yeah. Oh. Cool. Seth's still working on the answer.

Makes me want to go ice fishing. I don't. Lots of the tips. The seven-letter bait as a grub-like body that's drawn to the touch. Yeah. Will eventually turn into a B-Moth.

I bet he owns something now. Corey gave multiple hints now to Seth. I mean, yeah. What other bait would we be talking about? Hmm. Seth, do you have this one? Well, there's a lot of bates out there, Corey.

I don't know. Corey has dropped two fat hints. Ooh, good one. I wasn't listening to a other seven-letter bays. I bet if you were to hear them, you might have come up with them. Crawler. Minnows. This seven-letter bates is a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a bee moth.

Is everybody ready? There you go. It's scribbling down the answer. It really kind of fits. That does. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Wiggler. Alyssa says,

Lanier, larva, Randall, waxworm, Corey, Waxworm, Tressa, Minow,

Janice and Brody say waxworm. It is a wax worm. That turns into a bee moth, or it's also known as a wax moth. I don't want to tell you that. Yeah. would have been too easy.

It can take days or months for them to turn into cocoons with the process being temperature dependent. Waxworms are especially popular among ice anglers and are used to catch panfish and trout. But these small baits can also attract bigger fish like the Nebraska state record common carp, which weighed 40 pounds and was caught on a wax worm. I believe Stephen Ronella claims to put these in his lip, like chew,

to keep him in a fresh state, and then he just always has them to put on his hook. No way. So they don't freeze on the ice, you mean? Maybe. I think you meant maggots. You do that with split shot. Yeah.

Maybe it was split shot. You're right. It was split shot. I like the idea of it being a wax worm. Yeah. Wax, I never fish with waxworm. Oh, Corey's hint was that you probably have some of these, and he said it makes him want to go away.

Yeah, I haven't used them for radio live. No, there's not really that great of fishing bait. I feel like. In eastern South Dakota, where I grew up, this is just like the standard bait for catching a perch or a cropy through the ice. Maggots. Yeah.

Maggots here. Which is also seven letters, by the way. That will turn into a B-Moth. Question five, the topic is hunting. Running good over there, buddy. Showing off his hair. What do? That needs cutting.

Question five, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Mr. Savage. Mr. Savage. That was what his email. was and he didn't tell me his real name. So we're just saying Mr. Savage. Mr. Beast. Hall of famer Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback

to this patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family. I got some color commentary for you. Okay. We are not going to accept Jeopardy rules on this one. You need first and last name for me. Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family.

you have this one right Randall. Oh, without a question. I can also tell you who their rival quarterback was. I got it right 100%. Okay. Oh, yeah. Good. I don't have that in my flavor tank, so you'll have to provide that. No. That guy played in NFL?

No, no, this is you're playing college. This is in high school. College. College. This is high school. I'm pretty sure it's college. No, it's college. We will talk about it afterwards. I don't think I'm providing any hints, but we'll say All of those details. Yeah, someone from the Duck Dynasty.

If you can learn any name from the Duck Dynasty, you'll probably get it. Was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family. Weren't they roommates in college? Something like that. Is this guy the preacher or the priest? Not giving you any hints. To preach. Everything you need to know.

Terry Bradshaw was his backup. He's the patriarchal of the Duck Dynasty. I'm sorry, what's that? This was a show. That's right. Oh, man. I can't think it was last name. First names weren't. No, we're going to...

That's probably the harder one to come up with, though, of this. You've done it backwards for this one. Hall of Famer. Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. Brody's confident. Randall's confident. Seth is confident.

Yanni with a blank whiteboard. Corey, do you have this one? I don't think so. Okay, Alyssa, you think you have the first name of this person? Have you come up with the last name yet? I'm drawing the blank. Is everybody ready? Yanni's confidence is so low.

He's just writing his answers for everyone can see it. He's putting his own name down. He's just putting some common names down. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Phil Robertson. Alyssa says Phil Blank. Randall says Phil Robertson.

Corey goes with Uncle Sy Robertson, that is Phil's brother. He didn't seem like a football player. Tresset without an answer, Janice, without an answer, Brody says Phil Robertson. The correct answer is Phil Robertson. Phil Robertson started 16 games for Louisiana Tech in the late 60s. Robertson threw for 2,237 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 34 interceptions. He quit the team to pursue a career in the hunting industry and went on to create Duck Commander and Duck Dynasty.

His backup, Terry Bradshaw, went. to the NFL where he won four Super Bowls and was elected to the Hall of Fame. What do you have, for us? Also starred in Cannonball Run. Well, their high school rival was Dan Butch Flores. Oh. Dan Flores of. Okay, I didn't know that.

The American West. That was Phil Robertson's high school rival. Yeah, he played against both those guys. Oh, that's great. I didn't know that. He went by Butch then, which is why I included that, which I think is what threw you off. But, yeah, Dan was Southwest Louisiana or Northwest Louisiana. He grew up in Nackettish and played football against these gents.

He was a standout athlete. Different era. Phil Robertson started 16 games. Isn't that weird? 12 touchdowns and 34 interceptions. What position did damn? Quarterback. Wow.

Yeah, they were dueling quarterbacks. Wow. What a weird career. Yeah. The three of them went on. The reaction to that tidbit was really muted in this room. I think my delivery was all off. The butch really cut through it.

I thought that was a fun tidbit. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Phil actually just showed us a picture of Louisiana Tech, Phil Robertson. Can you go back on, Phil? I'm sorry. I showed the audience already. There we go.

Janice and Tressa hadn't got to see it there. All right. Here at halftime. We've got Alyssa and Tressa with one point. Seth, Corey, and Yannas are tied up with three. Randall has four and Brody Butch. Anderson has a perfect game with five points. Yeah, perfect game.

Buck Dynasty. Oh, no, they already have that one. Buck Commander. Buck Commander. Hey, this is Steve from the Meat Eater podcast. Listen up, if you tuned into YouTube and watched our Africa series, we were hunting in Tanzania, well, if you did so, you know that the dude I'm hunting with is Morgan Potter. He's a professional hunter with Robin Hurts safaris.

Great guy. Well, he and I were doing an event in Nashville on February 19th at the Safari Club International Convention. Even when we were hunting, we're like, man, we should do it. a presentation about our time in Africa at SCI. So we're doing that. This is February 19th, Safari Club International Convention in Nashville. We're going to do two things. From 930 to 1030, we're going to do a meet and greet at the Robin Hertz Safari's booth.

Our actual events at 2 o'clock in the Omni Ballroom. After the event, I'll be happy to sign any books or take pictures, whatever's on your mind if you come on down. To get tickets, you've got to go to the Safari Club International website and get a ticket to the convention. once you do that, you're prompted to go get a ticket to our event. All the ticket price goes to SCI. It's a nonprofit conservation group. All ticket prices go to SCI. They don't go to Meant Morgan.

But we're going to be there. Guaranteed laughs. Come check it out. Can't wait to see you. February 19, Nashville, Safari Club International Convention. Question six, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via John Schlesinger. Noah defines this word as, quote,

discarded catch of marine species. and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Noah defines this word as, discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Randall, quick to answer, Brody, quick to answer. Corey, do you have this one right? I think so. Good thing spelling doesn't count.

Janus joining them. Seth joining them with an answer. I'm doing it both ways and I'm like, which one looks better? Noah defines this word as discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Are we boring you? Are we boring you? No, I was trying to find a picture of Dan playing football. I'm still trying to recover from the reaction that that story got.

I was looking at the North Caddo Parish newspaper. I have an answer Pretty confident in it Seth do you have this one I think so Trusted do you have this one Okay discarded catch of marine species

and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear Is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers Seth says bye catch Alyssa chum Randall,

Bycatch, Corey, by catch, some creative spellings from Corey and Seth. And Yonis. Without an answer.

Yonis also creative spelling. B-I-Catch. And Brody, by-catch. The correct answer is by-catch. The catch.

How do you spell it? B-Y-C-A-T-C-H. That's what I originally wrote just looked weird. Corey said, Bye, catch. Bye-bye, catch. It's made it any more obvious.

Bycatch is typically fish, but it can also be dolphins, whales, sharks, sea turtles, seabirds, coral, and more. Noah says bycatch is one of the biggest issues facing, is one of the biggest issues, both ecologically and economically, facing the future of commercial fishing. It's estimated that globally 40% of the biomass caught by commercial anglers is some form of bycatch. Question seven, the topic is hunting. What are the two types of blacktail deer recognized by Boone and Crocket and Popin Young? Those record books recognize two different types of blacktail. You need to tell me what they are. Again, we're on question seven.

Brody, Randall, Seth, Janice already have their answers locked in. Corey seems like he's come up with one. Stumped up. Okay. There's two types of them. There's two types. Somehow Jabroney came up yesterday in the house and the girls didn't know. And so we pulled it up.

Why would they? Yeah. And read a little AI thing about it. Mm-hmm. And you've probably talked about this, how it's like a, now Dwayne, the Rock Johnson's popularized it. But after reading all that, like, I'm never going to use that term on anybody again. It's terrible. Yeah.

I would be so bummed to be called a gibrony. What's the definition? Because he looked at me before he started saying that. Well, yeah, no, I mean, Spencer fills the room. Fills the room, that's right. I need to hear the definition. Oh, it's terrible. It is bad.

It's bad. It's a, so a jabroney was in wrestling. It's like the Washington generals. It's exactly. In wrestling in like the 70s and 80s, when they would travel around, they would need someone for the ultimate warrior to beat up on. And those people were called jobers. And their job is to just show up and lose. And then that became corrupt.

to be being a jabroney instead of a jober. So if you're a jabroney, your job is just to show up and lose. That track with what you saw? Similar. Yeah. Yeah, we're pretty tough, honestly. We can handle it. We have some meat eater trivia participants who know they're not going to win,

but they show up and they have a great attitude. Yeah, that's right. And so it's an affectionate term here. Again, you just looked at me. I know, because my heart hurts for you. I like that this affected you, Yonis. Is everybody ready?

Such an empathetic guy. Did you call someone a gibroni? And then they're like, what's a gibroni? How'd that come up? How did it? I don't know. I can't remember how it came up. But yeah.

No, there's a lot of name calling that happens at certain times in my house. I think that somehow I interjected with like, oh yeah, you could call her a gibroni if you wanted to. I was like, well, let's see what that means. Let's just go with loser. Randall's example of the, the, Generals who just always lose to the Globetrotters. That's a perfect example.

I think they have one victory ever. And it was a total accident. It caused a riot the one time. The Gibronies won. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Sitka and Columbia Blacktail. Alyssa says Western and Eastern.

Randall, Columbia, Sitka. Corey, California, Sitka. Tressa, Washington, Oregon. Janice and Brody say Columbia and Sitka. The two blacktail deer are Columbia and Sitka. The minimum score for a typical Columbia blacktail for Pope and Young is 95 and for Boone and Crocket is 125. For Typica Sitka black tails, it's 75 for Popan Young and 100 for Boone and Crocket.

There is some slight naming difference with Boone and Crocket referring to them as Columbia black tails, while Popen Young called it. them Colombian black tails. So Popin Young, Colombian, Boone and Crocket, Columbia. Question eight, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via

Adam Ressler. This two-word term, which is caused by the thermic effect of protein digestion, was popularized in a 2001 Thanksgiving episode of Friends. This two-word

term, which is caused by the thermic effect of protein digestion was popularized in a 2001 Thanksgiving episode of Friends. Randall, the only player with an answer. Randall, do you have this one right? Yes. Two-word term, which is caused by the thermic effect of protein digestion, was popularized in a 2001 Thanksgiving episode of Friends. Yonaldis, joined him with an answer. Do you have this one right, Yonis?

I believe so. Okay. Corey, do you have this one? have this one right. I sure hope so. Okay, Corey Janice Randall all think they have it. I've been a victim of this. Brody,

who I believe has a perfect game, might be stumped on question 8. That'd be good. That'd be good for the rest of us. This two-word term, which is caused by the thermic effective protein digestion was popularized in a

2001 Thanksgiving episode of Friends. Janis is cracking. What's so funny, Yanni. Oh, because I'll tell you after, you reveal the answer. Okay. Let's change the subject. I just finished the series Chernobyl on HBO. Oh, I loved it. I think

one of the best thing that's ever been put on TV. Really? It's really good. Has there anything to do with this? No, it doesn't. It's changing. I was thinking about scientific terminology. And the lead man was on Madman. He played a great character on Madman. Jared Harris.

How much you pay for HBO? I don't know what it is. I think 9.95. It's like an add-on package for us. It's on an ad-on on Hulu for like $10 a month or something. And I cancel it every now and then and then watch it again every now and then. On and off, on and off.

Again, question eight, this two-word term, which is caused by the thermic effect of protein digestion, was popularized in a 2001 Thanksgiving episode of friends. Get it, Rody? No. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, without an answer. Alyssa says acid reflux. Randall says meat sweats. Corey says meat sweats. Koressa says food coma. Janis says meat sweats. Brody says hot gas. The correct answer is meat sweats. Yeah, Yanni and Corey and Randi and Randi gets.

Is that a legit term? Meat sweats are real. And it's because your body works hard to digest protein, which then raises your temperature and causes sweating. In that episode of Friends, Joey shows up to Thanksgiving wearing his, quote, Thanksgiving pants, which are actually Phoebe's maternity clothes. He then declares that he's getting the meat sweats, entering this phrase into the national lexicon.

Play the clip, Phil. All right, YouTube edit, seamless cut right now. That's it. I'm done. You didn't have any sides? Here come the meat sweats. Well, Joey, we're all very proud of you. Yes, I believe we can expect a call from the president any moment now.

Is there anything we can do for you? No, just nobody press on my stomach. You can keep those pants, by the way. What do you got there? Is that pie? Yeah, you want some? Just cut me a little sliver. A little bigger.

I'm bigger. What are you afraid you're going to run out? Cut me a real piece. And there was Phil's one edit of the episode. Randall was poking all kinds of holes in that friend sitcom episode. But Tress explained to me that there's a whole plot that I didn't understand. Oh, what was the rest of the plot? Give her the mic, Yanni.

We needed to know about this. If I remember, right, it was just that Monica wasn't going to cook Thanksgiving that year because she was tired of doing it every year and then Joey said that he would eat the entire turkey. Oh, okay. I think that's right.

You know what, that's good context. Yeah, so there's a reason that they don't have any plates or sides on the table. And the laugh track audience really loved that meat sweats joke. The acting was my favorite part. Yonis, aren't you going to share your private joke? Yeah, what's the meat sweats?

Funny. Well, our microphone, Yonty. Microphone. Our hot dog connoisseur, Randall, the way that he consumes hot dogs, I just thought that you would have experienced it

more than anybody else in this room. And I just thought it was funny. And then I thought that in this moment you were going to start sweating. And then anybody would look over at you and just see meat sweats written on your forehead. So, Yonis was just a news by,

You just invented a scene in your mind. I'm just laughing at you, Randall. That's good. I do have, no, I associate this more with like a giant prime rib dinner. You know, like when you go to a place and there's like four sides of prime rib and you're the way too big one, that's what I think about. Now we all know. Have you had the meat to us legit? I mean, I don't know that I've ever identified it as such, but I definitely have photos of me at dinners where I'm uncomfortable and sweaty.

I'm thinking of one. I'm thinking of one in particular. What was it? It was a giant piece of prime rib. I wish Phil could put it up on the screen. Yeah. I'll find it. I'll share it.

Where were you at, you think? They gave you the meat sweats. We were at the many glacier lodge in the east side of Glacier National Park. Compliments the chef. Giant, giant piece of rare meat. I'm thinking about double. one down on sweaty activities where I could have a giant

protein meal and then get into the sauna. Why not I eat it in the sauna? Yeah. Well, because I figured that protein sweats, meat sweats won't hit me until I think about barbecue a lot. You know, that's a big Swiss. It's a bunch of pork.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, like overeating brisket. That's the first thing. Oh, yeah. All right, here we are. Trust is still have one point. Seth and Corey have five. Janus pulled ahead of them with six.

And now, because Brody malfunctioned like Chernobyl, we've got Randall and Brody tied up with seven. It's a little harsh, Phil. It wasn't quite that traumatic. But it's part human error and part systemic issue. Yeah. It was the question. The show explains it all. But it was also Brody.

Question nine, the topic is fishing. This coastal fish, which shares its name with a hairstyle, is described by the South Carolina DNR as being, quote, elongated with a series of dark stripes. Corey and Randall very confident they already have their whiteboards down. This coastal fish, which shares its name with a hairstyle, is described by the South Carolina DNR as being, quote, elongated with a series of dark stripes. Brody, now his answer as well. Yonis with a blank whiteboard though Alyssa do you have this one right okay you have a hairstyle down is that what you went for on this one okay

maybe we maybe we should do we should get some like trackers you know whenever you could you could tell us what sort of bio trackers we need and then just eat meat eat meat until we get a good spike that'd be a fun little experience our meat sweat's real meat eater yeah there we go experiments. It's really on brand for us. And then we'll come in the next day and we'll eat salads and see what that does. I did the carnivore diet for 17 days and they're 100% real.

Okay. Oh, how was it? Well, I've autoimmune disease so it fixed my autoimmune. Oh. That's good. But I hear the diarrhea is bad. How was that? She's going to share that. No, I'm... Honestly, no. I wasn't expecting her to comment on that. It's just the only thing I know about the carnivore d'clock. Sets and diarrhea. This coastal fish which shows the game. That might have been whoever hard to call your head.

It's described by the South Carolina DNR as being elongated with a series of dark stripes. Yanni, the person you're competing with here, Brody has it right. I know this. I know this. Randall's going to tie you up.

No, I don't know. No, we're already. We're already tied. Oh, I'm sorry. Be out if he'd done. Yeah. Oh, all right. Yanni.

Coastal fish, which shares its name with a hairstyle, is described by the South Carolina DNR as being elongated with a series of dark stripes. I think a crock pot full of shanks. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be good. Randall, you're not going to help him on that one. Do you know it, Randall? Yeah.

He had his answer immediately. Do you have it set? I do have a two-sided board? No, I don't know. I guess the hairstyle. Yanni, do you give up? I didn't guess a fish, I guessed a hairstyle. Okay, that's an elicit strategy as well.

We're giving him an awful long time. You're not. You've sometimes taken way longer than this. It just depends on if you're enjoying the conversations going on. I'm not bad real worried you're behind me and Randall anyway. Yanni, you're a hairstylist, it sounds like. Oh, I know I'm missing the hairstyle. Write down a hairstyle so we can flip over these whiteboards.

I missed Phil's comments. He'll say. Go for a mold. He can commenting on Yanni's ability to cut any number of bus cuts.

Even a three. Four is my specialty, Phil. Nice. Yanni, do you have a hair style? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Seth says Mohawk. Alyssa says Mollett. Randall and Corey and Tresses say Mollett. Yanni, would you have? Macrel.

And Brody says Mollet the correct answer. Yeah, would you cut me a mackerel? It is a mullet. Holy mackerel. To be specific, it's a striped mullet. Striped mullet can live in freshwater or salt water.

These fish are found on coastlines around the world and thrive in places closer to the equator. They are commonly targeted as food or bait with anglers using mullet to catch snook, Jack, tarpon, and redfish. Did you catch any mullet in Louisiana? I don't think so. No. The mullet I've caught in North Carolina are not striped mullet. I believe they're called jumping water. They're not really a rod and real fish too much.

They're like a cast. A cast fish, yeah. Here's a correct answer of you. So far, number one was 130 degrees or 54 degrees for a medium rare duck breast. Number two, Jeff Corwin. Number three, all trails. Number four, waxworm.

Five, Phil Robertson. Six, bycatch. Seven, Columbia and Sitka Blacktailed deer. Eight, meat sweats. Nine. it. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update before question 10. It's Randall and Brody with eight points a piece.

Can the curse be broken? Question 10, the topic is foraging. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Charlie MacDonald. For sending this great question, Charlie 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. Name one of the four states with the sugar maple as their official state tree. So you have a four in 50 chance. That's 8% odds. Name one of the four states with the sugar maple as their official state tree. Brody and Randall both have their whiteboards down.

They both get this right. Then we will go to overtime. So do I, Spencer. If they both get it wrong, we'll go to overtime. Could declare a victor right now. And if Yonis gets it right or wrong. We'll have no bearing on the outcome of the game. Name one of the four states with the sugar maple as their official state tree.

Is everybody ready? Phil's having a good time back there. I always do. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Vermont. Elissa, Vermont. Randall, Vermont. Corey, Vermont.

Tressa, Maine, Janice, Vermont, Brody, Vermont. The four states are New York, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and. And Vermont. It's like we're going to overtime. Did very well. I almost put Maine. Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin all declared the sugar maple. Their official state tree in 1949.

And New York joined them in 1956. It is the most popular tree for collecting maple sap, which is boiled and turned into maple syrup. Aren't we coming up on maple syrup season? It's probably happening right now. All right, we're headed to overtime with Janice, excuse me, Brody and, Randall play the drop bill. I should have Yonis play for me with his overtime.

For a tiebreaker, we have a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Randall and Brody will be declared the winner. The rest of the room is going to play along as well because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Medita will add an extra $100 to today's donation. The overtime

topic is gear. What year did it become mandatory for new vehicles to have backup cameras. It's mandatory. It is mandatory. What year did it become mandatory for new vehicles to have backup cameras?

Forever changing the way we backup boats or hook up trailers. What year did it become mandatory? If multiple people get it on the nose, do you add 100 for each one? Sure. Yeah. Come on, team.

Oh, man. Everyone is going to make a guess. I would like one for hooking up the trailer. Oh, I know. I still haven't owned a vehicle that has a functioning backup camera. It's like, It's helpful. It's helpful.

It's a real bummer when that camera's dirty and you're like, gosh. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and, oh, Seth is going to write down his, go ahead, Seth. He's got time. He was thinking about his nightmares. Seth says 2015. Alyssa, 2013, Corey, 2018, Tressa, 2017, Yannis 2020. Our two remaining players, we have Brody saying 2014, and Randall saying 2023.

Quite a gap. The correct answer is 2018 making Brody a winner. He was one year closer and Corey got it right on the nose. I thought Randall knew something I didn't. No, I mean, I just guess. I think that's three over times in a row where I've gotten the closest. Wow. Not that I'm in running away.

You just got to make it there then. Yeah. And then it's going to happen. Another victory for Brody, the butcher. He was the closest between him and Randall for 2018. Brody, what are you going to do with your $600 donation today? Oh, why is it? Corey got it right on the nose.

You're well. I'm not paying attention. Sorry. I was just chatting with my buddy Jeremy Romero. And he works for the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, so we're going to send it to those guys. $600 going to the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. Here's some flavor text on that last question. Canada did the same thing in 2018, followed by Japan and the European Union in 2022.

That law will also go in effect in Australia in 27. It's estimated that 2% of vehicles made in 2006 had backup cameras. That number jumped up to 10% in 2010 and 30% in 2013. All right, $600 from Brody and Meat Eater going to who, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. Well done, Brody. Thanks, Spencer. Randall, the drought continues.
