I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Janice, Randall, Brody, Laura, Nate, and Marge. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters' Four Verticles, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

And there is a prize. Mead eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For our last set of the week, we looked at performance in the hunting category over the last year. As a reminder, Janice led the group by getting 80% of hunting questions. Correct. This week, we're looking at fishing. Here are the top five. Can we guess first?

Yeah, go for it. Brody. Brody, number one. Number one is Brody Henderson. he gets 72% of questions. Now, is Steve even in this because he plays so infrequently? Steve is there. He's there. Okay.

So I'm going to go fishing. Yeah, I'll give it to Steve number two. Steve is tied for number three. It goes, number five is Janus at 65%. Steve and Tony Peterson at 67%. Randall at 68%. And then Brody at 72%. He's not in the top five.

for fishing questions. He's really good at fishing, but just generally, like comparatively to other categories, is good at fishing, but overall he's probably lower than. Thank you. Good job, Randall. Now, amazingly, Brody, 72% is what you also do at hunting.

So 72% in the hunting questions and 72% for the fishing questions. What is Brody's worst category? Well, we'll find out. We'll do conservation next week and cooking the week after that. I feel like conservation is. the hardest category. But I betcha, I bet you for me it's cooking. Randall disagrees.

Yeah, no, yeah, for everybody besides the historian of conservation, yes, it's the hardest category. I think conservation. Everybody always likes to say what would be easy for me and ever recognize that some areas, I have weaknesses. Well, you always complain about fishing for me and you're...

Number two. Number two of fishing. But you're still beating me. So why would I stop complaining? I think conservation could be the harder for some people. I think it's the biggest, though, and I think it's the easiest for others. If you are a spouse who's held hostage listening to this show, I appreciate that you're here and you're giving us your time. But also, I bet their strongest category would be cooking or conservation because it's so far beyond just the core hook and bullet.

Speaking of spouse or? I don't know. I just think you're making gender-based assumptions. Speaking of spouses, Spencer, you're doing a spouse's episode, aren't you? We are in April. We are going to have our next installment. Did you get my gal? No, she declined the invite.

Did mine? She accepted. Yes. Good girl. Yeah, we have to defend our championship. Edbo did not get the invite. Come on. We got to figure out to include Edbo on something.

You said, we were fun. Yeah, we. We. Okay. Interesting. The Williams household is still reigning champs in one realm of trivia. I saw Ed Bo in the parking lot the other day, and I was pounding on my window to get his attention. It didn't work.

So didn't get to wave to Edvo. Thank. All right, we have an IFAQ today. Charlie McDonald says, I know you have regulars that send in a lot of listeners submitted questions, but do they make up the majority of submissions? Do you have a lot of people that are one-hit wonders and send in one question ever or is it mostly repeat customers? I don't have a great scientific way to answer this, Charlie. We do have Lee Lind and Titus, who are the meat eater trivia question goats that send me all kinds of questions.

But if I'm looking at today's script, I have four listener questions. week. One was sent by a listener who has sent me 14 emails and they have been featured on the show on the show before. The other three questions that I picked are all first time emailers. Wow. They have not sent me a question before or after that. Including our listener question of the week today was won by someone who's only ever sent me one email. So one hit wonders make up a lot of what we have here, Charlie. All right. We also have some housekeeping to get to on a previous episode of trivia, Brody, asked about the pantry staple that fly anglers used to keep their rod guides from icing up. Marge and Laura, you guys weren't here that day, but you're fly anglers. Do you know what that answer would be? Well, I use chapstick or... But cooking oil. Pantry staple. Pantry staple. Pantry staple. Okay. I'll say coconut oil. Good answer, Laura. The answer, the correct answer was Pam, but there was some arguing afterwards.

Yannis said Criscoe and I said olive oil. and neither one of us got it right. Well, a few listeners wrote in to come to our defense. Crisco does make spraying cooking oil, and Pam does make spraying olive oil. Phil has pictures of them on the screen there, both of these products right behind you, Brody, if you'd like to look.

I'm not arguing that they don't make that stuff. I'm arguing that you use Pam. It would be like saying Kleenex make something. It's like not, that's not the, like, Have you worked in a fly shop? Okay. So when someone walks in a fly shop and they're like, man, the guides on my rod were icing up today. And you're like, hey, you know what can use for that is go to the grocery store and get some Pam.

Pam, but Pam makes, look at that, Brody, spraying olive oil. That was my answer. When you talk about Coca-Cola makes a lot of things. When you say Coke, you're picturing a red can. likewise the same thing with chrisco when you say chrisco someone says give me some chrisco you picture the tub of chrisco you don't feel do you want the spray on chrisco they make all kinds of things right but you get me a coke what do you want a sprite pretty pretty down south can me and yani have that's true that's true but i apologize it's that important to you take the point yes we got

but then you got to give cori a point yeah of course cori can join us cori said oil And now the question is meaningless. Yeah. If it really matters. Just some hydrophobic, any hydrophobic substance. It didn't change the outcome, right? Let's just go to chess. I don't think it did.

Somebody won outright that day. Randall won. Yeah, I think I was yon. Was I. Did you get the answer right? Did you get Pam? Yeah. There you go.

I was not one point behind you. Because I, he got the question right. Because like, I just, I mean, I feel like if you picked up a field and stream in the 90s, and they'd be like, how. to keep your idea. It would be in like the tips and tricks section. It would just say Pam and I have a picture of a Pam's Raybottle. Randall gets it.

Yeah. All right. The Shelby Index for today. Some of us don't live in La La Land. Is a five. So I'm putting us on perfect game alert. And with that, we're on to the round 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 on the topic is fish. and as always this will be multiple choice.

10 of the last 11 Bassmaster Classics have been held in this month. Oh, body. Is it March, May, July, or September? 10 of the last 11 Bassmaster Classics have been held in this month. March, May, July, September. Do you know, Laura? I don't, but I have an opinion, I guess. I feel good about.

Is it a spring, summer, or fall? Dude, I don't know. Bassmaster. Ten of the last 11 Bassmaster classics have been held in this month. Your four choices. March, May, July, September. Brody, do you have this one right? Oh, I don't know.

I don't know. You know, I don't really follow the Bass Tour stuff at all. Randall, do you have this one? No, I don't. I don't. It's a 25% chance. Based on what I know of this, which is very little. And then also, you know, professional sports, the series just get longer and long.

The seasons get longer and longer over time. So, I don't know. 10 of the last 11 classics. She did not have been held in this month, March, May, July, September. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says September. Nate says September.

Randall says July. March, July, Laura, May, Brody, May. The correct answer is March. No, money. Got that one right. I thought that might have been it, but I haven't heard Seth talking about it. I thought they just started. The Bassmaster Classic was a fall event from 1971 to 1983.

A summer event from 1984 to 2006. And a late winter event ever since besides a COVID year. The March Bassmaster Classic kicks off tournament season, similar to the Masters in golf or the Daytona 500 in NASCAR. This year's tournament is happening right now on the Tennessee River. It will conclude on Sunday, March 15. Way in is happening as we speak. But Bassmaster is watching it on TV. Yeah, he is.

Bassmaster is predicting that Easton Fathergill will end day one with a one pound lead over the rest of the field. You know, it makes sense that wouldn't be May because then those dudes would just be ripping big females off beds. I figured they'd be big and fat. Yeah, that's why I didn't choose May. A winter tournament is a good test. I knew it was happening now because Seth posted about it this morning. But I was thinking about... And what was your answer?

I was thinking about it as like a series. I wasn't thinking about it as a... A three-day event. I was thinking about it as when I misread as like the last... As like this season finale. And I just... In hindsight, it's really stupid. It's happening.

Seth's favorite angler is another Seth, isn't it? Seth Fryder, who I think, he likes the half cigarettes a lot. He loves smoking cigs. That guy, I think there's 60 anglers in the field.

He's in like 58th right now. I think Seth likes Brandon. Brandon, Paulinick. Brandon, I think, was 46. Last I checked. So someone is standing on a stage right now holding two large about fast.

Yeah, Seth was watching that this morning with his infant child and posted about it. Good start to that kid's life. Question two, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Brandon Peachy. This game call company was created after its founder

saw Predator Hunters using a boom box to call in foxes. We will have no perfect game today with every player getting question one wrong. Brody and Nate look like they have question two right.

This game call company was created. after its founder saw predator hunters using a boom box to call in foxes. Yanni, do you have this one right? I believe so. Brody? I think so.

I hope so. Randall's still thinking over there. Uh-oh. All I know is they make coyote hunting a lot more fun. Question two, this game call company was created after its founder saw predator hunters using a boom box to call in fox. You don't know, Seth has his super young child.

We could test this thing that we keep talking about how you wonder if a screaming young and would bring in predators. Because when you hear him go, it sounds just like a predator call. Yeah, I don't miss that noise. This game call company was created after its founder saw predator hunters using a boombox to call in foxes. I would like to see that scene. I'd like to see somebody else. with a boom box.

Not with their two mark old. I thought you were talking about holding up a baby. Yeah. Like symbol style. That'll be the test. Boombox versus baby. Yeah.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice and Nate say Fox Pro. Randall says Fox. Marge drew us a nice boombox. That's very good. That's great.

Laura without an answer. Brody says Fox Pro. The correct answer is Fox Pro. Does Steve have one of these? Yep. I've definitely. filmed this and just paid no attention to Char the name on the side. Fox Pro was created

in Pennsylvania in 1995. The founder watched his sons go fox hunting with a boombox that played distressed animal calls from cassette tapes and determined he could make a product for that. Thus Fox Pro was born. They debuted the FX3 caller in 2005, which caused their sales to explode and changed the digital game call market forever.

Question three, the topic, is wildlife. This seven-letter shark is the world's second-largest fish. This seven-letter shark is the world's second-largest fish. Brody already has his answer. Randall started to write something, but he's still thinking. Was it not a seven-letter word? That's correct.

Okay. This seven-letter shark is the world's second-largest fish. I was very into sharks when I was... No. Okay. Very, very much. Advantage Brody. Marge, do you have this one?

Okay. Shaking your head, yes. Seven-letter shark is the world's second largest fish. Easy. Easy. I like that. I agree, Mark. It's pretty easy.

Not for the side of the table. The honest Nate and Randall struggling. This seven-letter shark is the world's second largest fish. Well, they're not going to get. Let's just turn them. Over Spencer. No, no, no. Seven-letter word.

Randall, in danger of starting 0 for 3 today. I can only think of 5, 6, or 10 letter words. Maybe you're spelling them wrong. Yeah, just spell it wrong. Yeah, plural. Yanni, do you have an answer? I do.

Is it right? I don't know. Okay. Seven-letter shark. But I think I maybe saw a picture of said fish in this book. Oh, boy. Earlier, but I didn't stop to read the caption. Yanni is looking at Kimmy Werner's cookbook in front of him, and maybe he saw this thing.

There's a picture of her swimming with this shark. All right, that's enough. The second largest fish. That didn't help you, Randall? This book just came out. It's not like Randall has already read it. Every little thing could be like, oh, now I know. Brody, we're just having fun here.

I want to win big whatever. It does. Randall, do you give up? Yeah, I don't care. Nate, do you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yannis says leopard. Nate says waily.

Randall without an answer. Marge says basking. Laura without an answer. Brody says basking. The correct answer is basking shark. Nice. And they congregate off Great Britain. Oh.

The basking shark can reach up to 40 feet long and five tons, making it second only to the whale shark. They are slow-moving filter feeders who like to be near the surface, which makes it appear as though they are basking in the sun. They are listed as an endangered species on the IUCN red list due to the overfishing for the value of their fins. Question for the topic is conservation. This 1849 event caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevada's

and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears. This is question four. It's conservation questions for our non-hook-and-bullet listeners. This 1849 event caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevada's and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears. Brody, Randall, Nate, Yanni, all have their answers. Easy. Easy, Nate has declared.

Uh-oh, Randall. Oh, big history guy. Let's see what you say. Are you fixing? Margaret's drawing another. Randall's fixing to argue. Getting ready to knit pick. He knows too much about history.

That's his problem. They could create an issue. Laura, do you have this one right? No. Okay. Marge, do you have this one right? I want some controversy. I have a good guess.

Bring the controversy. Please. I think it's good. This 1849 event caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevada's and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears. Let me ask you. question, Spencer. I might be wrong. What year did Sutter's Mill

happen? I'm not going to answer that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Janice says the gold rush. Nate, Gold Rush, Randall, Gold Rush. Marge says the California Gold Rush. Laura says the Treaty.

Brody says California Gold Rush is the There's a lot of gold rush. You think going to Alaska is going to persecute? And that is it happened to see a Can you stop talking while I make a point? What Randall is referring to. It says the 1849 event caused a mass migration.

This 1849 event was a mass migration. The cause happened in 1848, which is the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. So this is just insane. Well, 1849, that's when the mass migration peaked. Right, right. But the peak happened. The causal event is not in 1849. Keep going, Randall.

Terrible question. Keep going, Randall. The event could also be other people migrating there. I bet a lot of people were not aware that Sutter's Mill had gold discovered. They were just aware that people were flocking there. Spencer, I'm not coming with you. About 300,000 people flooded into California during the five-year gold rush. These prospectors were known as 49ers named after the year that the migration peaked.

Humans quickly started clearing out California grizzlies via hunting, poisoning, and habitat loss. Within 75 years, all 10,000 of the state's Grizzlies were killed. California's Valley Center History Museum says that the Gold Rush, quote, rang the death knell for the bear. See, you could have had an interesting question. You got it right. I know, but everybody else got it right because it's too easy. Laura didn't get it right. Did you know that they're trying to bring them back in California?

Well, haven't they also determined that the California grizzly was its own thing? So like they won't actually. They're trying, there's, they're making, there's a push to bring them back in. Here's question five, the topic is gear. This next great question is via Tim Allen. Oh, good one. Man, I hated that show. Me too.

Matthews, Vortex, Flambeau, Duluth Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuttyback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state. Here's the list again. Matthews, Bortex, Flambeau, Duluth Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuddyback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state. Oh, Brody's having a thing. That's good. He is having a thing in there that's giving me a thing. We need Brody to drop one.

Yeah, a little red herring in there, maybe. Maybe we should just look ahead to the next five questions and make sure they're worded correctly. Matthews, Vortex, Flambeau, Duluth, Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuddyback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state. Rodi, do you have this one right? I don't think, I don't know. I think it's 50-50. Nate, you have this one right?

Yeah, I feel pretty good about it. Marge? I think Matthew's guy. Maybe. Laura? Maybe. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yo!

I scratched it out. Yanni says Wisconsin. Nate says Wisconsin. He stumbles. Randall says Wisconsin. Shout out Barnville. March says Minnesota. Laura says Minnesota.

Brody says Minnesota. He crossed out Wisconsin. The correct answer is Wisconsin. Barnville. Vortex. Shout out Matthews. Esparta. According to the state's business directory,

there are more than 1,300 outdoor brands in Wisconsin. It's no surprise as the state has a $12 billion dollar outdoors. door wreck industry that supports over 100,000 employees. About 3% of employed Wisconsinites work in the outdoor industry. Do the people at Duluth Trading Company know they're in the wrong state? I don't know. That is a tough one. Nate even said maybe it's a red herring.

It seemed like too much information. Still got them. But it didn't matter. No, I ignored what I knew. We're halfway through the game of trivia. Phil, please give us a scoreboard update. Here at half time, we have Laura in last place with zero points. We're right back in it.

Randall and Maggie have two points a piece and all tied up in first are Janice, Nate and Brody with three points of piece. What's the other question I missed? You missed question one. The first question one. Everybody missed that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, top one. 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. So if you're tired of lazy takes, if you want honest conversations, join us each week.

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

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. Question six, the topic is cooking. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as, quote, a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor. Is this a brand?

Hard one. Not giving you any hints. Laura immediately locked in her answer. You have this one, right, Laura? I know we're thinking the exact same thing, March. It's a pan. Laura, show me what real sneaky like, show me what you put. That was very sneaky.

It's not what I got. Uh-oh. Okay. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor. I see that. Same. Okay. So there could be.

Brody and Laura. I think they're synonyms. Maybe disagree. Maybe not. Maggie, do you have this one right? I think so. Yanni, do you have this one right? Okay.

Maggie has... I don't think so. What I have? A combo. Oh, interesting. Okay. So she's twice as smart as we are. We're going to have to get a jury in here to figure out who gets this right then.

This is not like Spencer, Randall. Nate, do you have this one? I can... I don't think so. I'm real torn. Here it is one more time. Blank salt, which is all. often sprinkled on steak is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving,

provide a crunchy texture, and final burst of flavor. Well, just in the kitchen. Just to clarify, Spencer, would you accept a brand name? I think that's, oh, come on now. I don't think that's a bit. That is not a big hint. No, that's a total hint. No, I disagree.

Thank you. I don't think it's a hint. And I think if you have a brand that makes this, we will give it to us. Stay in your lane back there. I'm going to have to gooch. That one heard. Gonna have to Google, though. Nate?

Oh, Nate does not have it. That might have been it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says kosher. Nate says finishing. Randall says, Butchers. Marge says finishing.

Laura says Maldon, finishing salt. Brody says finishing. The correct answer is finishing salt or flake salt butchering salt we will see if that comes up with anything no what about the maldon that's a cured of salt

yeah what's that butchering salt I wasn't fighting for it Brody if you haven't had that brand is that what they put on cookies like real nice fancy cookies that's what is Margoin right they had finishing salt

we will give it to them I did have finishing Maldon Moldon and then I have Maldon will give that to you as well which is a brand name I believe yeah but they clarify

He said the guy who started the game talking about Pam. You know, there's many kinds of Pam. This is my am. Finishing or flake salt. As the name implies, finishing salt is only used right before you're ready to eat. It's most commonly sprinkled on meats and seafood, but is also used on veggies, salads, eggs, and desserts. These large irregular salt crystals take longer to dissolve in your mouth, which adds a unique

texture and depth of flavor. Man, you see those big flaky ones on. chocolate chip cookie, you know you're in for it. Yeah, a little salt with a little sweet. It puts on carmels too. Question seven, the topic is conservation. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie.

Stay in my lane, get out of you. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie. Again, the conservation category, Randall, is reaching far beyond hunters and anglers. Yeah. I know. He doesn't like it. I don't care.

Do you have this one, right, Randall? I think so. Okay. Yanni, do you have this one? It's an Eddie Murphy film. I have no idea. I have no idea. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 19th.

1998 movie. I don't even know if this is a movie, let alone an Eddie Murphy movie. I'm looking forward to that answer, Nate. I just, yeah, I don't know.

I'll watch a lot of movies. And we're on question seven. I really got a good laugh. Hold up. We're holding up, Nate. Is it meet the clumps? Yeah. That's the sequel, right?

Yeah, what was the name of that? That was the movie I was bringing up. I got a real kick out of that movie where he played all of the characters at the dinner table. Yeah, The Nuddy Professor in the sequel, Mitha Klomps. I got a real kick of it.

Sherman, too. I gotta say, Beverly Hills Cop 4 was very overwhelming, though. How do you guys know none of these were this movie? Well, that's what I have written down. Yeah, okay. Turns out it is a movie. You just gave Nate some confirmation.

Well, he threw it out there. I don't even want to be here anymore. Eddie Murphy, about us to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie. Laura, can you come up with an Eddie Murphy movie for us? No, I got nothing today. Trek?

I almost wrote that, dude. I could see that one, actually. That would be a very probable story. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, donkey saves the swamp. Yeah. Is everybody ready? Yeah.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Dr. Doolittle. Nate says Beverly Hills cop. Randall says Dr. Doolittle. March says, welcome to America. Laura without an answer. Brody says, Dr. Doolittle, the correct answer is Dr. Doolittle.

There you go. 2001's Dr. Doolittle 2 follows Dr. John Doolittle as he attempts to save habitat where the fictional Pacific Western Bear lives. He succeeds by convincing bears, wolves, beavers, and birds to fight back against the logging company. The movie has a 41% rating on Rotten Tomatoes saying, quote, its preoccupation with toilet humor and Murphy's restrained performance makes this a missed opportunity. I like Marge's answer best, though.

If we could have a sequel to Welcome to America, where... Coming to America. Coming to America. That's what it's called. Where they fight to save the forest? And they did just do a sequel. They did. They should have fought to save the forest for the Pacific Western Bear, though.

I was going to say, toilet humor and their strained performance could probably encapsulate all of my recent trivia appearances. That's why they canned meat eater radio. Is it Sherman T. Clump, Phil? is this you're barking up the wrong no you have the computers use the computers does the other computer and we're looking at a movie poster for doctor do little too

sometimes there's like a little itch in my brain and I want to dig in there and see if what I remember is actually in there I think they're now on to like three four and five that have been you know direct to DVD it is Sherman clump you are right but is it T oh it's the middle name that I'm curious about here's question eight the topic is biology this next great question is via Andrew rudder. This eight-letter word is defined as, quote, the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Randall already has his answer, Brody.

No, that's a question. Brody's locked in his answer. Whiteboard is down. This eight-letter word is defined as, oh, I didn't even know it was eight-letter. The science of naming, describing and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Randall, the only confident one. Oh, Brody is now reassessed and he certainly has it. First. They're not giving me a middle initial, Randall, in any of the articles I'm finding.

They do have the middle initial for the Jerry Lewis version. That's Julius F. Kelp for the nutty professor. Randall's now on his phone attempting to solve this mystery. Came to me. Nice. What the middle initial is for. No, I'm trying to say. the

Facebook marketplace listing that I mentioned earlier to multi-tack busy guy multi-task he's wheeling I don't want

very cool I don't want this deal to get away a lot of beautiful pictures dude seriously I didn't even know she was doing this

Laura do you not have what Brody has no okay this is the only person in our whole organization that my wife

cares about including me oh you're talking with Kimmy yeah what about Chip oh oh

not into Chip chips and high Water right now, dude. Dang, what do you do? Do you eat something? Did he eat and crap on something? Well, that's part for the course. Yeah.

No, ever since Cam became pregnant, he's been acting real needy. I think he senses his movement down the totem pole. Dang. And so he's trying to, I don't know what he's trying to do. Is your wife's pregnant? Yeah, man. Oh, congrats. I didn't know that. September 15th.

Excited. I know, dude. We'll have to have a rut report sometime at me, here and update everyone on the office pregnancies. There are so many babies. A lot of babies. It is thick around here. It's contagious.

This eight-letter word is defined as the science of naming, describing, and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni and Nate and Randall and Mardge say taxonomy. Laura, without an answer. Not taxonomy. Brody says taxonomy.

The correct answer is taxonomy. The practice of taxonomy dates back to the 1700s when Swedish biologist Carl Van Linae started grouping animals. Leneas. Leneas. Leneas. That's why it's Lenean taxonomy. Thank you. You started grooving animals.

I'd like to reiterate Randall is currently in fourth place. Randall's tied with me. I've never been tied with me. You know those barbed bags they give out in planes? He needs one of the use one. I know, I don't know the answer to this question. Randall's saying it's too easy, Marge. How does that make you feel?

I have no idea. Okay. I feel like it's a trick question and I got it wrong. slang term that refers to a type of gun by the number of rounds and roll. We have Yanni and Nate and Randall saying six. March says five. Laura and Brody say six. The correct answer is six.

If I had had that hint, I would have gotten it. Revolvers hold five to nine rounds with six being the most popular, which is why they're often referred to as six shooters. Gunbroker.com has 56,000 revolvers for sale that holds six bullets. That's followed by 36,000 listings for five shooters, 5,000 listings for eight shooters, 4,000 listings for seven shooters, and 1,000 listings for nine shooters. See, that's interesting.
