12 of Meat Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026.
These are long-form episodes, so you get more of what you love.
The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.
If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode.
My favorite part was watching a younger bird.
bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree.
Check it out now on Meat Eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming
months.
It's a meat eater podcast.
Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Janice, Randall, Brody, Seth,
Corey, Hansi, and Max.
This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals,
which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
There is a prize.
Meadeter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.
You see how Randall didn't interrupt you there?
He'll have his chance yet.
He's being so polite to his buddy, Spencer.
He'll have his chance.
I'm talking with my friend here.
For the stat of the week this week, let's look at player performance over the last year.
we just discussed, we're now in season five.
So we're looking at player performance from season four.
This data stretches from early
2025 to early 2026.
For this week, we'll cover the hunting category.
Here are the top five players from fifth to first.
On average, Nate gets 62% of hunting questions, correct?
Randall is 70%, Brody is 72%.
Steve is 73%.
And our best performer is Janus, who gets 80%.
Wow.
80% of hunting questions.
What I said?
Janice is the world's greatest hunter.
Janus had a good year last year.
Have you always said that, Brody?
Oh, yeah.
Going back decades.
So, Janus, 80% of hunting questions, correct.
Hansi, you were just on the outside.
I think you were at 60%.
So almost top five.
Did you factor in my numbers?
What should I factor about your numbers?
Yeah, they were factored in.
Yeah, just like didn't go above 10%?
Not top five.
Okay.
No.
Top 10?
I think you were top 10, Max.
Okay, great.
Or we have some housekeeping to get to.
On a previous episode of trivia, we had a question about the fishing contraption that helps position your boat on windy days and looks like, quote, a huge ice cream cone with the small end cut out.
The correct answer was drift sock or drift anchor, but about 20 listeners wrote in with feedback.
They said drogue should also be an accepted answer.
drogue is defined as quote a cone-shaped or parachute-like device typically made of heavy-duty fabric that is trailed behind or off the side of your boat to create significant water resistance so it is the same thing as a drift sock and if you said drogue for your answer then you also got that one right another dozen folks wrote in to say that sea anchor should also be correct and they are right sea anchor is another accepted term for the same thing that is a drift sock drift anchor or
rogue. So many
acceptable answers for that one.
All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four,
so our winner 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
while I stand to win.
Everything.
How's that?
Just tend to win everything.
Question one, the topic is cooking, and this will be
multiple choice.
Which of these
roasts comes from the front shoulder of an
animal?
Is it Chuck,
Rump,
Sirloyne,
round.
One of those
Roses comes from
the front shoulder of an animal.
Which one is it?
Chuck is a rump
Because Rowe is so
knew it
that he had to emphatically
slam his board
to the table.
Wow.
Seth and Yanni
have pretty names
written on their boards.
You like that?
That looks great.
Seth also was very creative.
Tim,
you should be designing logos.
That's what I'm talking about.
This only took me 10 seconds.
Think about what I could do in two hours.
Okay.
That's cheaper than AI.
I can knock out T-shirts between fishing trips in Florida.
Randall?
Which of these ropes?
Actually, you should design one right now for your trip.
Comes from the front shoulder of an animal.
We need a fishing shirt.
While you're down there, think of a fishing shirt.
Is it Chuck, Rump, sirloin, or round?
You know this one, Max?
But now with a turban.
A fish eater?
hesitant.
Maybe.
Way to go, son.
Well, I thought it was like...
Yeah.
I just told you you have it right.
I know, but like...
Now you're drawing something that looks vaguely phallic.
I thought that came from right here.
Which of these rows comes from the front shoulder of an animal?
Chuck, Rump, sirloin, round.
Is everybody ready?
Sure.
Hansi making one last change.
Oh.
Go ahead.
your answers. Hansi says round.
Janice and Seth
and Randall
and Corey and
Max and Brody say Chuck
the correct answer is the
Chuck roast. Can you explain
Virgil's daddy?
Seth. He's having
a kid this week. But why is it saying it on your board?
The arrow points to Seth.
Oh, okay.
Seth and I really synced up today, so I wanted
to make sure that our bonds are you going to be
at Virgil's godfather?
No.
but I'm making a play for it.
Is Virgil and me?
Is Virgil going to have a godfather, Seth?
Chuck brother.
Chuck brother.
Put her there, Chuck brother.
You guys are going to do the godparent?
We haven't thought it.
Yeah, I don't know.
I was the last episode.
I wouldn't be a good godfather.
That kid's probably not due for like another two or three months, right?
The kid?
Yeah.
No, I'm just kidding, Seth.
I know.
You've been under a rock?
The rump round and sirloin all come from the back half of an animal,
while the chuck comes from the shoulder to neck area,
Chuck roasts are best cooked low and slow
and served shredded or cubed.
For a great Chuck roast recipe,
go see Daniel Prud's Venison Carnitas recipe
on the meat eater.com.
So I was confused.
I was considering the chuck liked all the neckmate,
and so I wasn't considering that the front shoulder.
I think it gets a little neck.
Yeah, just a little bit on your butcher,
but mostly shoulder.
Question two.
The topic is hunting.
This is our listener question of the week.
which was won by Veronica Driz for sending this great question.
Veronica 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.
This seven-letter word, which is often associated with quail,
is defined as, quote,
a tuft or crest of feathers on the top of, on the head of the bird.
This seven-letter word, which is often associated with quail,
is defined as, quote,
a tuft or crest of feathers
on the head of a bird.
And we have a stumped room.
Brody has an answer.
You have a seven-letter answer, Brody.
I do, and I'm not going to think about another one.
It's either right or it's wrong.
He didn't slam his board down this time.
Quiet confidence.
The topic is hunting this seven-letter word,
which is often associated with quail,
is defined as, quote,
a tuft or crest of feathers on the head of a bird.
And we will look at a picture of one of these in the flavor text.
Ooh, damn it, that one's eight.
Just take the last letter off.
I bet you I'm wrong.
Now I'm, no, no, no, question, my answer.
Seven letter word, which is often associated with quail, is defined as a tuft or crest of feathers on the head of a bird.
Mm.
You have it?
Mm-mm.
I like my answer.
Could be a zero percenter.
Yeah.
Brody had second thoughts, but he's going to stick.
I'm not going to come up with another seven-letter word.
And I'll just, like, get on the whole Google arguing thing.
There you go.
If I need to.
Yes.
Brody, I think our only play.
Gosh.
Quail brothers.
Well, there's not a lot of serious quail hunters in the room, not as serious as me, you know.
Yeah.
That's how he's got that one right.
Corey, do you have a shot at this one?
There's a good chance that I got about a 50%.
Okay, good chance that you have a 50% chance.
It's like an 80% chance and 50% chance.
I say a good chance of something happening is like 75%.
So you have a 75% chance that you have a 50% chance.
Do people have a right?
I don't know if that's exactly.
Does like introduce non-native quail out in Missouri way?
I know.
I know someone that was.
was going to do it today.
I don't know.
You?
No.
No.
It's like four hours.
Five hours.
This seven-letter word, which is often, which is often associated with quail, is defined as a tuft or crest of feathers on the head of a bird.
Does our room give up?
Uh, yeah.
Yes.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi without an answer.
Janus says, Plumage.
Seth without an answer.
Randy says, Plumage.
he says Mohawk. Max says Bob White. Brody got it right. He says top knot. It's a top knot. T-O-P-K-N-O-T.
Watch your top, brodie. I have no idea. Watch your top-nut. Mountain quail, California quail, and
Gamble's quail have some of the most famous top-nots in the animal kingdom. In most cases,
male birds have larger, more defined top-nots than females. The purpose of this headgear is to
attract mates, intimidate rivals, and signal sexual maturity. Bill Hale-Hill
has a picture for us of a gambles quail and its comma-shaped top knot.
Love it.
Yeah, that was one of the neat things living in Salt Lake City.
These things just live in the city and everybody's yards.
And you get to look at quail all the time.
Yeah, I like the hans around here.
Arizona has a quail with a very defined top knot in its game agency logo.
So the folks who live there got that one.
Question three, the topic is conservation.
C-smart declared that this river, which is the longest in India, is the most polluted waterway in the world.
What's C-Smart?
Seas-Smart is a conservation group who tracks pollution like this.
Seas-smart declared that this river, which is the longest in India, is the most polluted waterway in the world.
Max, name a river in India.
Couldn't.
That's where I'm tripped up.
Even if my life depended on it, couldn't do it.
I'm sure there's an India River.
Hansi, quick to answer.
Hansi, you have this one?
I think so.
Okay.
Randall, you have this one, right?
Pretty sure.
You're so close.
You're so close.
Seasmart declared that this river, which is the longest in India, is the most polluted waterway in the world.
Phil, are you picking up?
up any sound when I do this.
He's resting his eyeball.
Would you like to be creating sound?
Do you try to do me a solid?
No, I don't want to disturb the listener.
You're not, so you can continue.
Are you sleepy, Randall?
Getting sleepy.
It's warm in here. I had to take off my layer because the back of my shirt is soaked
and sweat.
What's your shirt?
I can't tell what's going on there.
It's a squirrel.
It's Ohio backcountry hunters and anglers.
You can see right there, the state of Ohio.
Mm-hmm.
And a squirrel track.
The squirrel is holding a
Acorn
Oh, I would have figured that
Was it a Buckeye?
Yeah.
That would have been covered.
I don't know that they
I don't think those
Anything eat those?
Yeah, they are.
They want to eat them.
Maybe not for squirrels.
Again, we're on question three.
Seasmart declared that this river,
which is the longest in India,
is the most polluted waterway in the world.
About this answer?
We were talking about rivers, maybe in the Middle East.
What do you got?
My boards.
Is everybody ready?
I feel like I watched a documentary on this movie.
On this river.
Janice?
I'm not going to have one.
I like Seth and a name style.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi says Ganges.
Yonis without an answer.
Seth without an answer.
Randy says Ganges River.
Corey says Euphrates.
Max without an answer.
Brody says the Ganges.
The Ganges River is correct.
The Gajis is 1,500 miles long, making it about the same length as the Colorado River.
Its largest source of pollution is 3 billion liters of untreated sewage that flow into the river each day.
Sweet.
Other sources include industrial waste, agriculture runoff, and the cultural practice of placing cremated and uncremated corpses in the river.
Yeah, that'll do it.
You and Mark, you've seen the conservation story there.
I don't think the cremated corpses are the problem.
No, have you seen the river monsters episode?
Of course I've seen the river monsters episode.
Or he chums for the big catfish with burned flesh.
They fish near a burial that's happening.
And there's actually catfish living in this body of water?
Big catfish.
600 pounders.
Oh, big catfish.
Yeah, that's the episode.
Amazing.
That's where on the Tarpon episode, you can go do that one with Mark.
But the India.
You want to come on that one?
The bank robbers.
where Seth and I just fish for catfish all over the world.
Question for the topic is...
And waste company resources.
Outdoors.
This next great question is via Chris Orpert.
Gorp, a popular snack that usually goes by a different name, stands for, quote, good old, blank and blank.
Never knew this.
I didn't either.
What?
Gorp, a popular snack that usually goes by a different name stands for good old.
old blank and blank.
Fascinating.
That's a good question.
Okay.
Rodi, you have this one right?
Oh, I got it right for sure.
Randy, you have this one right.
Oh, I hope so.
We could get a little space heater in here, and then we could do a topless episode.
With just the boys, of course.
What do you guys think about that?
Shirts for skins.
I like it.
Topless episodes?
I like.
I like Corey's better.
Shirts for his skin.
Oh, it literally feels like I have a heated seat.
Touch him set.
Does his seat feel heated?
Feel that.
Woo-hoo.
Ooh, yeah.
I thought I was just having a medical episode.
Gorp, a popular snack that usually goes by a different name, stands for good, all, blank, and blank.
A snack.
I know what it is.
Oh, come on, Max.
Yeah, seriously.
You got this.
What's not?
Do you know what Gorp?
I never heard of Gorp in my life.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You've eaten.
You've had some.
Let me tell you.
Not for that.
Do you have this one right, Corey?
I don't know.
I've never heard this.
Wow, this is shocking.
I feel like it is kind of a 70s, 80s kind of like.
Oh, we could talk about that in the flavor text.
I didn't come around to the 90s.
Good old.
I got a good old answer, but it's not right.
Gorp, a popular snack that usually goes by a different name stands for good old, blank and blank.
You know it, Hansi.
He was quick to answer.
Maxwell, do you give up?
No, I got an answer.
Oh, okay.
Corey, how about you? Do you get that?
Sure, if we got to hurry up.
We don't have to hurry up.
I wouldn't be surprised if you got an old beat-up sandwich bag of this stuff and the bottom one of your packs.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi says raisins peanuts.
Janice, raisins, peanuts.
Seth, without an answer.
Randy, raisins and peanuts.
Corey, without an answer.
Max says rice and pasta.
You know you had rice and pasta?
Brody says raisins and peanuts.
The correct answer is good old raisins.
There is a thing called rice errone, where they put those two things together.
I think Max wins the creative answer award every time.
Some say Gorb stands for good old raisins and peanuts, while others claim it means granola, oats, raisins, and peanuts.
It was popularized in 1906 when Horace Kephart wrote in his book called Camping and Woodcraft,
quote, a handful of each of shelled nuts and raisins with sweet chocolate will carry a man far on the trail or when he has.
lost it. He ain't that the truth. He ain't lying. It wasn't until
1968 when the name Trail Mix was born, which was
patented by Harmony Foods. Mixed some little
marshmallows in there. If you have kids, the
peanuts and raisins are the things that stay in the bag.
The M&Ms come out. They eat the good old. Chocolate chips.
And then they leave the raisins and peanuts.
And you're just left with nothing but good old raisins.
Gittles.
Gittles. Yogurt cover raisins.
I'm just saying weird things now.
Question five, the topic is fishing.
What kind of fish is Ahi?
It's A-H-I.
What kind of fish is A-H-I?
Okay, well, there's a hint from Brody.
That's a pretty solid hint, Brody.
What kind of fish is A-H-A-A-A.
Sorry about that.
Reynolds probably real mad at me now.
I don't really care.
For how specific you need to be,
you would say a Labrador.
You don't need to say a black lab for this one.
So you wouldn't say dog.
You wouldn't say black lab.
You would just say lab.
What kind of fish is ahi?
Might be your day today, Max.
You might take it all.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Tuna.
Tuna.
The whole room says tuna.
The whole room got it right.
The correct answer is tuna.
I made an ahi salad sandwich this weekend.
I was telling Corey about earlier.
To tell the rest of the class.
A lot of mayonnaise, a lot of pickles.
Okay.
A little Ahi out of the packet.
What kind of pickles?
Bread and butter.
Ahi, which means fire, is a Hawaiian word for tuna.
The name honors the speed at which tuna moves, causing your fishing line to burn.
Ahi refers to two types of tuna, yellowfin and big eye.
Cool.
All right, we're halfway through the game of trivia, Phil.
Give us a scoreboard update.
Would love to.
Everyone's on the board.
Corey, Max, and Seth have two points.
Hansi and Yonet.
have three points. Randall has four points and with a perfect game, Bertie Henderson. That's five points.
I thought you're doing way better than that. I'm a little disappointed. It's a loud two points that Max says.
He's not mad. He's disappointed. Yeah. No, I'm happy. This is a great game for me.
I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind and now got my own show.

These are long-form episodes so you get more of what you love.
The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.

down from a tree.
Check it out now on Meat Eaters YouTube channel
and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months.
Question six, the topic is woodsmanship,
and this next great question is via Zach Brown.
I don't think it's that Zach Brown.
This six-letter word,
which is sometimes spelled with an E that has,
an acute accent mark above it.
I'm just doing that for our listening audience
is defined as, quote,
a gully, valley, or ravine
that is usually dry and was cut by water.
This six-letter word,
which is sometimes spelled with an E
that has an acute accent mark above it,
is defined as, quote,
a gully, valley, or ravine
that is usually dry
and was cut by water.
Randall, very quick to answer.
I was before him.
Oh, were you?
You have this one right as well?
No, you weren't.
Yes, I was.
We're going to have to check the cameras.
I thought I was, that.
No, you weren't.
To be honest, I didn't notice when you,
so I'm just, I'm just being argumentative.
Again, it's an E that has an acute accent mark.
Yeah, I spelled it differently, though.
Six-letter word, which is sometimes spelled with an E that has an acute accent,
mark is defined as a gully valley or ravine that is usually dry and was cut by water.
Where's this Zach Brown from?
Not known as a umlaut.
I don't think he told me that.
No,
an umlau's is the two dots.
I know Zach Brown in Kansas.
Could have been him.
Could have been that Zach Brown.
I was chatting with the Chelsea.
Actually, I was putting her name into my phone.
I was like, Chelsea with two E's?
She said, well, some would say with three.
I was like, yeah, that's pretty slick, pretty quick.
Pretty quick copy of you.
That's good.
Six-letter word, sometimes spelled with an E
that has the acute accent mark.
It's defined as a gully valley or ravine
that is usually dry and was cut by water.
Has everybody read...
Brody, you have it?
Got six letters, that makes sense.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi, without an answer.
There's another one that makes sense.
And Seth and Randy say Cooley,
Corey says drainage
and Brody say Coolly
They got it
The correct answer is
Coolly
I couldn't get a word
out of my head
And that was not the right word
Coolly was first used
To describe landscapes
By French fur trappers
In the early 1800s
According to word trends
Coolly was most popular in the 1920s
Then lost favor in the 1980s
But has been rising in use
Since 2010
Phil has a graph
showing us how frequent the word
Cooley is used in books
by year. Wow. So
it's glory days again. We're like
1900 to 1930,
but now in 2019
it's on the rise. Uptick. Has
been used this much since, so say
1940. Coming back. Coming back.
Where it stands. That's huge.
You could be a cool kid out there saying
Cooley. Cooley kid. Is it
a royo the same thing? An arroyo
is the same thing, but I think that's a Spanish
word. And it does not have the
acute accent mark, like
the words cliche or saute cafe fiance.
Wow, look at the big old brain on Spencer.
Do you have those written down?
I had to look them up in case the room was very confused.
And I could offer some of those to you guys, but you did well without it.
All right, here's question seven.
The topic is public lands.
This next great question is via Guy Wallace.
This national park has the same name as the nickname for the football stadiums of Clemson University.
and Louisiana State University.
What?
Brody, who has a perfect game,
locked in his answer quick as well as Randall.
This National Park has the same name
as the nickname for the football stadiums
of Clemson and LSU.
Good old Clemens.
Had a very good friend that went there.
Max, do you have this one, right?
It's a guess.
This National Park has the same name as the nickname.
Guess again.
For the football stadiums of Clemson University and Louisiana State University.
What was your first guess?
It's wrong, so you can tell them.
Big Cyprus.
That'd be a good stadium name though, Max.
I think you're onto something there.
That's Florida.
Nobody has joined Randall and Brody with answers.
Besides Max, who's on to 2.0 answer.
This National Park has the same.
name as the nickname for the football
stadiums of Clemson and
LSU. This is
question. We need a little Steve
and Yannis'A's action figures for the
Clemson or for the Canham thing.
That would be cool.
Should have a deer in the back of the
Arkansas as well.
That thing gets played for every
We need a ramp so we can jump it across
from one side to the other. Across the Coalie.
Good work, Max.
Maybe. I think I saw what you're writing and I think it's
Correct.
Really?
Wow.
Oh.
No, but.
Good try.
I'm done.
That should also be the name of a stadium, though.
Let's see.
Corey, do you agree or disagree with Max's answer?
I disagree because it's different than mine.
Cianus, Seth, Hansi.
Corey's got that vintage Willie Nelson sweatshirt on that I always wanted.
Those were on the free table forever.
Anybody could have had one.
Willie Nelson.
That's funny.
I've got one, but I can't wear black.
Is it supposed to be again?
Why can't you wear black?
It's my dog hair.
My dog hair problem that I have.
Yanni and I were recently together, and I lint-rolled my shirt, and it was like he saw an alien.
Huh.
It was very foreign to him.
And then he was talking to Corey about it.
Lit-rolling or you lint-rolling?
I was lint-rolling, a shirt.
And then he was talking to Corey on the phone, and Corey says, yeah, I've seen guys do that with duct tape before it.
Oh, yeah, I put duct tape inside out on your hands.
Yeah, I've done that before.
Yeah, but a literal, there's like $1.50.
Yeah.
A strip of duct tape?
You want to go pretty cheap.
And more useful.
Seth, you've got a lot of no answers.
Yeah.
Should be like minus one.
He probably wasn't aware.
This National Park has the same name as the nickname for the football stadiums of Clemson and LSU.
Do you guys give up?
Yeah.
He must have pregnancy brain.
I got to write something down.
What's to start with?
It's a national park.
I'll tell you that.
There are 63 national parks.
Randall, you look sad.
I'm just really uncomfortable right now.
The seat heaters turn it all the way up.
Go ahead.
Hansi says smoky.
Janice says mammoth.
Seth says Yellowstone.
Randy says Death Valley.
Corey says Olympic.
Max says Everglades.
Brody says.
Valley. The correct answer is
Death Valley. I know Happy Valley.
Clemson calls
their stadium Death Valley because of a
nearby cemetery. In honor of
the name, they have a graveyard at their
practice field that places a tombstone
for every victory over a top
25 team. LSU
calls their stadium Death Valley for its
reputation as a hostile place
to play with the capacity of 102,000
people. It's the seventh
largest stadium in the world.
Shout out Joe Burrow. And I think five
of those top seven biggest stadiums
are in college football. Shout out Jamar Chase.
Question eight, the topic
is gear.
Shout out Andrew Whitworth.
This brand, whose logo
features a lizard, is best
known for their line of Z-strapped
sandals. So be.
Let's go.
So be yourself. I've got these on
right now.
Just kind of, oh, okay.
Those don't breathe very well.
This brand, whose logo features a
lizard. It's best known for
their line of Z-Strapped sandals.
I know a guy who has a Soby lizard tattoo.
Why on Earth? That's so sick.
I feel like
I know that guy without knowing anything else.
You probably do. I'll tell you more about him later.
Shout out Sally.
People call these Jesus sandals too,
don't they?
Was that a difference?
No. I wouldn't refer to them.
Birkinshocks.
That ain't the answer, is it?
That ain't the answer.
Really?
I would refer to as a Birkenstock.
It's a Jesus sandal though.
Yes.
Max, a big supporter of Birkenstocks.
Yeah, I like Burk and Stux.
I like them too.
Me and Max are jeans with Birkenstocks guys.
Do you roll your jeans on?
You wear a clothes toe or just a standard?
Just open the Jesus sandals.
Clogs?
So does Max.
I notice Max does it.
Me and Max are pretty hip guys.
So.
Lordboards.
That's even better.
I like that.
This brand.
whose logo features a lizard.
Burkentaston.
Is best known for their line of Z-strapped sandals.
Six-seven.
Now we have the...
Shut on, Zobie.
Student becomes the teacher over here.
I don't like it.
Brody is asked Max.
I don't like it, Brody.
Max likes Brody's answer.
Wait, is Brody flailing around here?
I can see yours, Max. That's what I think.
Remind you that.
Brody has a perfect game going into this question.
Oh, I know it's Spencer.
All right, let's show.
I don't think you could be a fishing guide without these.
Go ahead and...
reveal your answers. Hansi and Yanis and Seth and Randy and
Corey and Max say Chaco. Brody says Tiva. Back to zero, Brody. The correct
answer is Chaco. Brody, why do you go back to zero?
Because I couldn't remember if my chaco's had a lizard on him. And Brody crossed out
20 years, but Z-strap. Tiba makes
very, very similar sandals. I wouldn't shame him for saying Tiva. No, but Tiva
characteristically is not Z-shaped.
It's straight.
Two and then one connector along the outside
meditarsals, we know.
Outside magazine held a sandal battle
in 2022 that had
fans vote on their favorite footwear.
Chaco was fittingly the number
one seed and dominated the tournament.
They defeated other notable brands
such as Tiva, Keen, and Crocs
on their way to being named the best
sandals for the outdoors.
Oh, they're so comfortable.
Max has diagrammed the Z-stress.
versus Tiva.
Max,
that's what you think
meat looked like
you should see a pediatrist.
Remember the toe loop?
And some people
were all about the toe loop
and some weren't.
Were you a toe looper
or no toe looper?
I'm a toe looper.
I usually had them
but yeah,
it seemed like that toe loop
would just slowly
and slowly constrict.
You guys like aqua socks?
No.
But we still have a lot of clients
show up wearing those things.
I love aqua socks.
Yeah.
People wearing aqua socks
over their
stocking foot waiters.
No, they have their place.
Messing around on the beach
in North Carolina, not the ocean beach
but in the sound. You could step
on a lot of oysters and claim
shells and stuff. As Corey
said, it's illegal to be a fishing guide
if you don't have chakos on.
One of these, Tacoma and a clacka.
All right, we have two
questions that Bill. Give us a scoreboard
update.
Here we are after question
eight.
Corey Culkins, this is in last place.
Take it up the rear.
Three points.
Max has four, along with Seth and Hansi.
Ooh.
Good job, boys.
The three players left in the game here are Janus Patelus with five points.
And now tied up, now that Brody's lost his perfect game,
are Randall Williams and Brody Henderson with seven points apiece.
Two questions together.
More fashion questions, please.
Question nine, the topic is foraging.
This amendment, which created prohibition,
caused FBI agents to chop down apple trees across the country.
This amendment, which created prohibition,
caused FBI agents to chop down apple trees across the country.
Randall very hesitantly put his whiteboard down.
He likes his answer, but doesn't love it.
Am I reading that right?
I'm pretty sure.
Okay, pretty sure.
When you said forage,
this is not what I was expecting.
So I sort of went into this question.
Is that how he how he characterized?
It's a foraging.
I will tell you in the flavor text why this is so relevant.
This amendment,
which created prohibition caused FBI agents to chop down apple trees across the country.
Is this why Johnny Applesee went nuts?
I don't think he went nuts.
Oh, he went.
He was big in Ohio, though.
He was kind of like his whole range.
He went a little too hard, I think.
Yeah.
I don't know.
This amendment, which created prohibition,
caused FBI agents to chop down apple trees across the country.
Brody, is there a chance you have this one,
right?
I mean, I know how many amendments there are,
and I know where it would fall in a certain timeline,
but no.
I don't.
Amending are there these days?
They just make them up.
Quite a few.
No, I'm second-guessing myself.
Oh.
This amendment, which created prohibition,
caused FBI agents to chop down apple trees across the country.
I feel like I'm too late.
I feel like I'm going to make it.
Yeah.
What's so funny, Corey?
No, we'll find out.
Okay.
Do you guys maybe have an answer that has a number greater than how many amendments there are?
No.
No?
Okay.
Hopefully not.
Is everybody ready?
I don't remember how I.
Hansi?
Just put a number ready.
Okay.
We're going to let Hansi come up with his number.
before we flip over the whiteboards
see if Randall can take the lead
after this one.
Just trying to get some airflow on my back at this point.
Yannis, you're not going to write down a number?
No, I'm out of the game.
Oh, wow.
Welcome to my world, brother.
Hansi, you ready?
No, the lower number amendments are deeper.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi says 20th.
Janus, without an answer.
Seth says 14.
Randy says 21
Corey says 19
Max says 8
Brody says 19
The correct answer
Is 8th is the 18th
Amendment
Nobody got that one right
It's a tough one
Corey was right there though
So was Brody
Wasn't 21st repealing that amendment
That repealed prohibition
According to the Smithsonian
The government targeted
Trees that produced sour apples
which were commonly used to make hard cider.
This caused a decline in America's apple diversity,
with whole orchards being lost to axes and fires.
Hard cider is making a strong comeback, though,
with data showing it's the fastest growing alcoholic beverage in the country.
So, Yanni, the way that relates to foraging is we lost all sorts of apple diversity,
diversity thanks to prohibition.
Here's a correct answer review so far.
One was Chuck roast, two, top knot.
Three, the Ganges River.
four, good old raisins and peanuts. Five, ah, he means tuna.
Six was Cooley, seven, Death Valley, eight, Chaco, nine, 18th Amendment.
Phil, let's do one more scoreboard update before question 10.
With that zero percenter, things are in a similar standing.
Similar meaning the exact same, actually.
So we've got Randall and Brody with seven points.
They're the only two players left.
That was my chance.
Here is question 10. The topic is conservation.
Orglow. Often referred to as a botanical garden, this nine-letter word is defined as, quote, a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific purposes.
Often referred to as a botanical garden. This nine-letter word is defined as a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific purposes.
I had such a good answer, and I'm 10.
I'm going to leave it.
Maybe you just spelled it wrong.
No.
No, okay.
Yeah.
That was my answer, too.
For that last question, for anyone who lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, they have a bar called the 18th Amendment.
I bet they got that one right.
Often referred to as a botanical garden.
This nine-letter word is defined as a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific purposes.
Brody and Randall both struggling to come up with an answer as well as.
We have one of these in town.
I just drove by it the other day.
I didn't know that we had it.
Okay.
Thinking we should stop by.
This could be a zero percenter for the second question in a row.
How do you spell that?
Often referred to as a botanical garden.
This nine-letter word is defined as a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific purposes.
Seth, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Okay.
Seth the only player with any confidence.
I don't know my spelled it right, but it came out the nine.
If Randall or Dilley could get this right, they will be the winner.
Corey and Max disagree about the nine-letter word, though.
I don't know.
I don't even think that's a word.
Hey.
Okay.
Max has accused Corey of creating a word.
I've never used that word.
It's not real.
Same.
Until now.
According.
Or excuse me, often referred to as a botanical garden.
This nine-letter word is defined as a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific purposes.
I do, but I don't think that's...
I think I spelled right.
Randy, do you have an answer?
I don't want to say anything because then I'll sound dumber than I am.
Randy has an answer.
I see it.
Do you agree with it?
No, it's not a good idea.
I don't know.
Seth has shrugged his shoulders.
I don't...
I'm not going to come up.
Okay.
What he is giving up on this one.
leaves the door open for Randall.
I don't even know.
If they both get her wrong, we will go to overtime.
What else are you going to put if you don't put that?
You know, I had that written down.
I mean, that's like not.
How do you spell it?
No, that's not.
We'll see if Spencer can announce it.
Randall, are you ready?
One.
Yeah, I don't like my answer at all.
I might just delete it.
Janice is saying he drove by one of these in town.
I'm not aware of it either.
You'll have to tell me about this.
My answer is not something you could, well, technically could drive by it, I guess.
Janice?
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi says Arboretum.
Yonis says Terrarium.
Seth says Arboretum.
Randall, without an answer, Corey says nurseryum.
Max says planetary.
Brody says terrarium.
the correct answer is
Arboretum
and Hansi
got that one right
Arboretum can be indoors
or outdoors
and are sometimes both
these places are considered
living museums and often harbor
endangered species that need protecting
the National Trust for Historic Preservation
says America's five
best arboretums are as
follows Harvard University
in Connecticut, Haverford College
in Philadelphia, the U.S.
National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., the Lion Arboretum at the University of Hawaii, and the Mortum Arboretum in Chicago.
Those are the five best.
I was just saying of the movie Biodome.
Yeah, that's all I could think about.
All right, with Randall and Brody getting that wrong, we are going to overtime.
Play the drop, Phil.
Tiebreaker.
Very exciting.
Damn it.
The tie-breaking topic is gear.
This will be a numerical question.
Whoever is closest to the correct answer between Randall and Brody will be declared the winner.
But the rest of the room is also going to play along because if somebody gets it right on the nose,
we will add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.
What is the average cost to exchange a 20-pound propane tank?
As of when?
As of a week ago when I wrote this, I price checked.
Let's see here.
I did six different stores and six different states.
to get this answer.
I checked very popular places where you would go to exchange a 20-pound propane tank.
So what are it to like two decimal points.
So $1.99.
What's what your answer should look like?
What is the average cost to exchange a 20 pound propane tank?
The places I price checked are an ace in my.
Montana, Home Depot in Florida, Lowe's in Arizona, Walmart in New Hampshire,
Kroger in Kentucky, and a bomb gar's in Iowa.
All over the place.
All over the place.
Wow.
Good research.
Very accurate.
I like now how you can just walk up with your empty one and stick it into the box and pull out a fresh one.
Don't have to talk to nobody.
Go inside.
It's pretty slick.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Hansi says 1999.
Janice 1976
Set 2775
Corey 2575
Max 1899
and our two players left
Brody says 2499
Randy says 1799
Big difference
Phil
Phil
can you help me out with this one
I'm not good at math either
so you have to give me a second
somewhere right in the middle
it is pretty good
It is between Brody and Randall, very close to their two answers.
I don't think Randall should be the one using the calculator.
Well, I'm a math guy.
Phil, do you have it figured out?
I just opened my apps.
Oh, this is fun.
Okay.
Have we ever done this before?
Bill is going to do the math for us to see who is closer.
Oh, I don't deserve to win.
What was yours, Randall?
It's a $17.99.
$1799 versus $2499.
I think the
The correct answer is, or the correct answer
is closest to Brody, is that right?
No.
What's the answer?
No.
What was yours, Brody?
2499.
It is...
No.
Brody Anderson.
No!
DeMates!
The correct answer was 2177.
Just barely.
So Brody was, what, $3 and $22?
$22 off.
And Randall was how far off?
I want to say,
$3.7.
78 is 370 something.
Very close.
2177.
The cheapest was at a Walmart in New Hampshire and bomb guards in Iowa at under $20,
while the most expensive was the Ace Hardware in Montana and Home Depot in Florida at over $23.
All right, Brody, as the winner, you get to choose where the $500 donation goes.
What's it going to be?
Man, I wasn't really thinking about it.
Where's that trophy board?
Do we not have it in here with all the different?
It's all the way upstairs.
In my office.
Who should we donate to?
I'll take suggestions.
Maxwell.
Turkeys for tomorrow as well.
Yeah.
Something with turkeys.
There we go.
I saw a couple gobbler strutting this morning.
Turkey's for tomorrow.
Turkeys for tomorrow's getting Brody's $500 donation.

Nice job.
Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.
Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.
And he likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks.
