I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Corinne, Nate, John, and Roman. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters' four verticals, which are hunting.

conservation and cooking, there is a prize. Me Deeder will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the state of the week this week, we're looking at the Shelby Index for today's episode. She set a personal best for a new Shelby Index record. Here's what we're going to do. If she wins today's show, we're going to make it a $1,000 donation instead of $500. Did you clear that with the Power Set B? No, no.

I just assume one of you is going to beat her, despite her high score. We'll get to her score in a minute. Now, we have an IFAQ. If you have an IFAQ, send it to trivia at the medeater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Sarah Cinco says, my local tavern has recently decided to install a night of trivia. And I volunteered to host. I'm wondering what tips or tricks you could suggest to help make this event fun and successful for all. Uh, Randall, you're a bar night tavern going trivia connoisseur.

Yes. What advice could you give to Sarah? She wants to be a great host I have three pieces of advice Okay Two of them I've thought of The third one will come to me Number one is if there's a limit

On the number of people That can sit at a table And force it Okay When there's 10 people sitting at a table And then every other table Has three or four people You don't like that

Just be like hey guys You gotta break If you're playing You gotta break up the group It's just It's a no brainer What are they gonna say Oh no

We want to have more people woman is loud. Number two is it's not all about you. I played some bar trivia games where the guys treating it like a like a one-man show. An open mic. And it's like, did you practice all these one-liners on your parents before you left home tonight, you know? And I'd like to just say, keep it about the game. It's fun to have a couple cracks here and there, but otherwise, you know, just just play the game straight. Like people are there for the questions. Randall, how important are drink specials? Very important.

I doubt Sarah has that kind of power. Oh, come on. She can do it. There was a, before it was the Thomas Marbar in Missoula, they used to have trivia night there, and it was like $8 pitchers of flat tire to the point that I cannot. Flat tire or Fat Tire? This boat's poorly for today's performance. That's like the swill version of Fat Tire. Fat tire.

I can't smell the stuff anymore without getting sick. I mean, just like six years of every Tuesday night drinking fat tire until... What a funny promotion. Yeah, yeah, it was odd. It's not like a very... I just feel like that's a weird beer to drink in large volumes. My third point about trivia is... They just came up with.

See if they can start it early. Oh, wow. Don't start trivia at eight. Yeah, that's the one ding against the Mali here in town. Yeah. I mean, it's great trivia. I like the questions, but it'd be great if you could get the thing going at seven. 6.30 even, I feel like it's...

I feel like most people are just going to go there from work instead of going home. There's no reason to start trivia at 8 o'clock, unless you're doing two games. Bill, any advice for Sarah? You love bar trivia. Yeah, this is kind of a follow-up to Randall's like, it's not about you comment. But at the same time, I do think you need to kind of present an air of confidence. Like, you need to make the play. players believe that they're on a steady ship and that the captain is is trustworthy.

Because once holes start being poked, the whole thing could fall apart. I also want to tip my hat to Sarah and to the bar that is initiating this. There's not enough good trivia out there in the world. And kudos for stepping up. We don't know the name in the place. She says local tavern. Any other advice for Sarah? Yeah, I got one.

Okay. I would say make the questions easier than you can. think you need to make them. That's exactly what I was going to say to Sarah. I think it's important, Sarah, that you have someone to test these on. Like, I have the Shelby Index, and that is effective to an extent. But yeah, assume that your audience needs, they'll have more fun if the questions tend to be easier than harder.

She could send them to Nate to test them out. There you go. And if I may add one more point just on format. There are some bar trivia games where you write your 10 answers. for the round on a single sheet of paper and take it up after a round. There are some bar trivia games where they have you write an answer on a single piece of paper and run it up after every question. Don't do that.

Oh, you don't like that one. There's too much standing up and sitting down. That's not what we came for. And then it's like someone gets... Not a gym class. Yeah, someone who has the chair on that corner gets stuck just getting up and you're going to miss all the funny banter. Yeah.

So those are just my thoughts. Okay. Spencer, if I'm big. Good advice for Sarah. I may, I have a quick announcement. Yes, please. Hello, Meat Eater Trivia listeners. On Friday, March 13th, an episode of trivia was recorded in which I said several things I later regretted.

They are as follows. Oh, this is from you. I don't care. Terrible question. Hey, Maggie, look at the scoreboard. I don't care. Don't be a smart ass, Spencer. And I don't want to be here anymore.

I'd just like to apologize for the listeners for all of that negativity and Borsch. behavior. There's too much of it in the world, and I regret my part in contributing to that. I do stand by my critique of the question about revolvers and about the California Gold Rush, and I wish I'd remembered to mention the film Norbit when we were discussing Eddie Murphy films. That's all. Okay. Thank you. That will satisfy some folks. We need more of that in this world. Yeah. Good addition. We have a little bit of housekeeping. This is geography-related housekeeping. On a previous episode of trivia, I said in the flavor text that Harvard University's Arboretum is located in

Connecticut, but of course that's wrong. It's located in Boston, Massachusetts, a full 50 miles from the Connecticut border. And in a different episode, Randall said he didn't think they had Menards in Ohio, but that's wrong. There are 32 Menards in Ohio. Phil has a store map for us. Randall, it's as though they've built Menards on top of Menards. Yeah, I guess my question is, when did they move into Ohio? You think in the last month? No, but I haven't lived in Ohio for 20 years, more than 20 years. So I think that's fair. Okay. That's part of your culture, Menards. Yeah, shout out to Loveland,

right on the little Miami River. Shout out to Loveland. You need to go back there and do a little tree stand hunting with Kenyon or someone. Oh, I'd love to do that. I'd love to do that. I'd like to just make a whole series where I just live in Ohio and do all of my favorite things. I'm going to sell that to the suits. The Shelby Index for today is a 6.67. So I'm putting us on perfect score. Wait a minute. Say that again.

Six point six to seven. Come on, Spencer. We've added two thirds of a point. Wow, this is exciting. Two thirds of a question. So the winner should get 13.13. That's right. So we're putting us on perfect score alert.

Again, if nobody beats Shelby today, if nobody gets a seven, it's going to be a thousand dollar donation. Are we going to get, like, scores and like thirds today? No, no. Randall had seven and a third. Exclusively for the Shelby Index. That's it. I like it. 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? You stand to win everything. Question one. Are you going to join us? Are you going to keep typing on that phone?

Yeah, I'm playing wordal. Wow. Turtle, she's playing turtle. Turtle. Turtle, yeah. Question one, the topic is fishing. This first great question is via Chris Porter. And as always, this will be multiple choice.

Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Is it Yellowstone River, Niabrera River, Tennessee River, or Columbia River? I hate you, Chris. Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Chris Porter? This is Chris Porter, Yellowstone, Niagara, Tennessee, Columbia. If it's the Chris Porter, I'm thinking of, that's a good guy. If we don't know what states a certain river runs through, are you able to tell?

I'm not going to help you with that one. Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Yellowstone, Niagara, Tennessee, Columbia. No, no confidence in this room. Brody, do you have it narrowed down to a few? Yeah. I'm just going to stick with it.

Which of these rivers? I'm going to stick with what it should be. Go with what you know. The highest elevation. The Yellowstone River, Niagara River Tennessee River or Columbia River

I'll be real mad when it's what it not should be everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers Nate says Columbia Roman Columbia Randall Yellowstone John Columbia Corinne

Columbia Brody Yellowstone the correct answer is the Yellowstone River Brody and Randall got that one right the highest point of the Tennessee River is 800 feet

Of the Columbia is 2,700 feet. Of the Niagara Brera is 5,500 feet, and of the Yellowstone is 11,000 feet. The Yellowstone is formed near Yount's Peak in northwest Wyoming, where small streams combined to make the longest undammed river in the lower 48. If you want a bad-ass-back country trip, like go into the thoroughfare in the headwaters of the Yellowstone. Bring bears bray.

It would look very unfamiliar over there. It's super cool country in there. 11,000 feet that's twice as high. He's just giving us two middle fingers. Twice as high as the next closest of the Niagara River. Question two, the topic is wildlife. Stanley and Zero learned that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie. We're back.

Nate, the quick answer. Stanley and Zero Learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous Yellow Spotted Lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie This is big millennial core Yeah I think this is

This is the first movie that's like Squarely in my aperture Is this an adult? Destroyed by confidence Is this a movie for children Or for people that are older than children? Wouldn't you like to know? It's got an exit to you. No hints.

John, what's going on, man? Struggling. Yeah. Yeah, you young Yeah, you young. John was born in 2001. 1998. It's close enough.

That's pretty good. Gosh, I'm so much older. Roman, do you have this one right? I do. I'm so excited. Okay. I've never felt so good. Stanley and Zero,

learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie. Phil, we're going to get a movie review from you. Is this movie live action or

animated? No hints. Not giving you any hint. close the gap, baby. We're back, Robin. Randall and Brody, the only players get question one right, and they have blank whiteboards. Question two.

Stanley and Zero, learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie. Randall, do you like your answer? I've never seen my answer. Okay. It involves animals. D&D.

that Nate and Roman would have seen this movie and liked this movie? My guess? Yeah, which is the energy they're giving off. Maybe. Okay. I don't know. John, do you have a guess? No, I got nothing.

All right. Brody, do you like your answer? I don't have an answer, so no, I detest my answer. Does everybody give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate and Roman say holes. Randall, Madagascar. John, without an answer.

Cray without an answer. Brody without a answer. an answer. The correct answer is holes. H-O-L-E-S. Is that like a cartoon? What is that? Based on a book. A great book. Based on a book for, I don't know, like

teenagers. Middle grade. Yeah. Middle schoolers. I remember this movie now. I never saw it. But in that troublemaker actor who's a real troublemaker now, I know. That was pre-mental break. Shai LeBoh. They survive off Splush. That's right. Yeah, exactly. Although the yellow-spotted

lizard is real. The movie uses bearded dragons to portray them. The real yellow spotted lizard is found from Texas to Panama and does have a venomous bite, but it's far less toxic than the movie describes. According to Holes lore, the lizard has exactly 11 spots, but by the time you get close enough to count them, you'll already be dead. Of course, they hate the taste of, quote, onion blood. Phil, did you love the movie holes? I love the book, and the movie, I think, is a great adaptation.

It's got an awesome cast, too. Sigourney Weaver, Tim Blake Nelson who kicks ass of John Voight, Henry Winkler. Yeah, it's awesome. He plays the dad. Shia's... What's the author? Louis Sackar, who wrote a bunch of kid books. Had an iconic cover

as well. I think you've seen it. You would know. Nate, Roman, did you guys love holes? Oh, yeah, dude. That's like right up there with the Hardy Boys. That's in the same tier of like if you're a 12 year old boy you read hatchet and holes those would be two of the books

that's back when Nate used to draw like as he does right now like draw guns on piece of the paper at school guys fighting each other on mountains and stuff Stanley's last name is yell Nats which is what backwards Randall Stanley oh sorry wow sorry for you question three

this feels good when you know a whole bunch of stuff that Randall and Brody don't know the topic is ecology And that's your movie club. On holes. Add that to your movie club, Randall. Yeah, I was going to ask what the theme is there. Digging holes.

This next great question is the Adam Lice. Sorry, I've got one more thing to add. The movie's great because it's like a last vestige of when they used to rap through the plot of the movie during the credits. Oh, yeah. Doesn't Shia LaBuff Wrap? Shire Raps, dig it. Yeah. If you want to hear a recap of what you just watched.

Question three. The topic is, like, college. ecology and this next great question is via Adam Leicester. Also known as the bush, this region of Australia, refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas, and shrublands. Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas, and shrublands. you have this one right?

Yes. Randall, you have this one right. Boy, I hope so. Okay. Why am I drawn? After not knowing about the movie holes, I find myself in a bit of a hole. You must have just been slightly too old in 2003 to love that. Yeah, 2003.

Yeah. Rick Fox plays a character named Clyde's Sweet Feet. That's right in Randall's sweet spot. Rick Fox films. That's a good guy. Also known as The Bush. This region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas, and shrublands. Brody, do you have this one right now?

I think I do now, yeah, yeah. Brody, is that a new first light? That's the Whalefait? Oh. It's nice, lightweight. Love it. It's a new heather gray color, I guess, right? Okay.

Is that the only color that we have it in new? It's also going to be available in black. Oh. Okay. What's been hot at the store lately, John? What are people buying up there? Not bear rugs. Not bear rugs.

No, still working on that for Brody's bear rugs. But a lot of turkey stuff has been becoming popular. Turkey season is less than a month out. So First Light turkey vests have been a very hot seller so far. The Approach hoodie, which was a 2025 First Light product. Think of it as like a wick hoodie, but with the integrated face mask. Yeah, all the turkey stuff, Phelps, Easy Plucker Diophram. That one goes out.

a door pretty quickly. So if you're in Bozeman, feel free to stop by a store, get stocked up for turkey season. This guy's good. This guy's good. You're in good hands. As far as store online, as far as social media videos go, like the crew at the Bozeman meat eater's store, man, they like knock it out of the park. How's the morale doing?

As the morale doing at the store. Morale? Yeah. Couldn't be higher. Oh, wow. That's why I go there. That's good. One more time, also known as the Bush.

This region of Australia refers to the, the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas, and shrublins. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says the outback. Roman, the outback. Randall, the outback. John, the outback. Corinne says Tasmania.

Brody says the outback. The correct answer is the outback. I thought you were going for a... Come on, there's a whole chain of restaurants named after it, Corinne. Although about 75% of Australia is considered the outback, only about 5% of of the continent's population lives there. The area is known for its Mars-like appearance, unique wildlife, and Aboriginal people.

It's also home to the dingo fence, which is the world's longest fence at 3,500 miles long. It creates a dingo-free zone for sheep herders. That looks like the DMZ, dude. There is a map of that dingo fence. Why didn't they just do a straight line? And it's seriously like, there's not dingoes on the other side of it. They say there are some holes in it,

and there's certainly some dingoes that have made it through. But for the most part, it does its job. Phil has a photo, an aerial photo, of the dingo fence as well. How is that compared to the length of the Great Wall? I don't know. This is the longest fence, though, 3,500 miles long. How long is the Great Wall? I don't know.

I just know I watched a video the other day of Anthony Edwards on the Great Wall of China, and he said, that shit's steep. Okay. That's the only Great Wall fact I have. Question four, the topic is hunting. this next great question is via Lauren Hope. Leon Leone Wood created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell.

Not looking for the brand. We are looking for what that type of boot is called. Leon Leon Leonwood created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell. There's a name, dude. I totally forget what that. This whole, I mean, half of you guys have that kind of boot. Yeah, I don't think there should be any chit-chat about this particular question.

Corinne, do you have this kind of boot at home? I do not. Okay. Do you, Brody? I do. John, do you have this type of boot? I do not, actually. I used to, but wore them out pretty good. Randall, you have this one right?

I do. Do you own this boot? I own a pair of these boots that I won from Schneys. Wow. Okay. When Matt Miller... That's a big... It's not a...

Big... I was going to say... All right. Whatever. Sorry. I don't think I have this right now. I'm not changing... Flip them over.

I'm feeling good about it, but your brand point kind of threw me off. Now looking for the brand. That's why I feel good about mine. Leon Leone Wood created this type of boot in 1912. Is that his real name?

Yeah. By combining a leather... You're going to kick yourself for making a big deal out of his name. With a rubber lower shell. Probably not. No, I mean, you won't kick yourself. Totally forgot.

Literally, but figure it. You're going to go zero for ten. You're going to go. Everybody ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nick says the duck boot. Ron says pack boot. Randall says pack boot.

John without an answer. Who's kicking who's so now? Corinne without an answer. Brody says duck boot. The correct answer is the duck boot. Also known as the bean boot or the main hunting shoe. So we'd also accept.

those answers. Maine. Oh, M-A-I-N-E. Maine, like the state. I would like to see you kick yourself. We won't forget this. Would you get onto his name, please, Spencer? L-L-L-B designed the duck boot to survive hunting season

in Maine. His idea was to combine the comfort of a leather boot with the durability of a rubber boot, but the concept nearly didn't make it off the ground. After 90 of the first 100 pairs were returned, customers found that the single stitch easily tore

which got Leon to instead go with a triple stitch that is still used today. Great flavor text. L.L. Bean. They're kind of dead to me now once they got rid of their lifetime warranty. That's because people are monsters. Yeah, it's true. So Bean Boot would have been wrong, Spencer. I would take Bean Boot if you said Bean Boot, but if you just said L.L. Bean, did not want that as your answer.

Question 5. The topic is Natural History. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by William Meyer for sending this great question. 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. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees.

We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. We'll find out if the Shelby Index is in danger of winning or losing today. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees. I think I have like the sounds right,

but not the words. Okay, let's see if you have the name. So is a pack boot an insulated? No, pack boot's a modified version. But he used the bean boot or the duck boot and inspired his back boots. Gotcha. And it's like, hey, we need these to be better hikers.

Gotcha. I don't know how I know that. Yeah, well, you know so much about boots, Nate. I like boots. I feel like a pack boot. who doesn't exclusively have to have rubber on the bottom either. Do they? I think they do. I thought you'd see leather.

It's a rubber, it's a rubber lower, leather upper. Duck boots. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, Rockabai, baby. Roman says, Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Randall, Rockabai Baby. John without an answer. Corinne says Lullaby Baby. Brody says Rockabai Baby. The correct answer is Rockabai Baby. It's unclear what the inspiration was

for Rockabai Baby with theories ranging from Egyptian deities to English royalty. Some believe the song was written by Mayflower colonists who observed different tribes placed birch cradles in trees. This practice was done to keep baby safe while adults hunted, gathered, and worked fields. The baskets were sustained.

suspended from branches providing a swinging motion that soothed the infants. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. At half time, Corinne is on the board with zero points. John has one. Roman has two. Randall has three. And tied up in first place with four points are Nate Mason and Brody Henderson.

This three-letter acronym, which Remington says, is quote, one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets. Oh, I got so many questions about this. Okay. Brody will be able to help you answer them. Sweet.

This three-letter acronym, which Remington says is one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells tomorrow. Referres to ammo that uses tungsten pellets. I can't. I'll talk about this afterwards. I would be a hint if I say that. Again, this is question six. The topic is hunting. This three-letter acronym which Remington says is one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells refers to ammo that uses tungsten.

pellets. He got one right, Corinne. Brody likes Corinne's answer. Roman, John, do you have your answers? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says TSS. Oh, man. T-R-S.

Randall, T-S-S. John and Corinne and Brody say T-S-S. The correct answer is T-S-S. T-S stands for Tungsten Super Shot. These shells use a tungsten alloy that is 22% more dense than standard tungsten and 56% more dense than lead. TSS shells have become more popular in the last decade with NWTF saying that they have, quote,

push the boundaries for hunters on what used to be considered the max range for lethal turkey shots. Tune in to Meat Eater News. Yeah. We got a segment coming up on tungsten ammo. Okay. Is it how expensive it is? It has to do with that. Dude, is it worth it?

You got to tune it. Okay, I'll tune it. Well, I'm like buying shells this week. But if you've noticed, if you're trying to buy this, like, if you waited to the last minute to buy this stuff, it's expensive. $100. Is it, is it tariff related? That's part of it. So I feel like this comes from China.

Geopolitics. Okay. And that news episode will be dropping the day after this episode. So you'll get all informed. What other TSS questions did you have, Nate? Well, is it worth it? Why worth it? It's worth it.

If you like shooting turkeys at 60 yards, it's worth it. Best way to kill a gobbler. Yeah. I don't know, dude. It's a game change. 20 bucks a shell, dude. Well, not, I mean, like, that's this year. Like, in years previous, it was expensive.

I'm operating on the margin here. Maybe you could put it. Six bucks a shell? Like, sure, it's worth it. Put in the Slack channel, Nate. You could ask, see if anyone has some old TSS they would sell. Dude, I've asked for enough free crap. I've used up all mine.

My chips. Speaking of turkeys, next week is Turkey Week here at Meat eater starting March 30th. You'll get our best turkey hunting content across our website, podcast, and social media. We'll also have sales and turkey week sweepstakes that includes $13,000 in gear and a 2027 Rio Grande guided hunt. Head over to the meat eater.com on March 30th. I want to win that. How many yards does it add to your effective range? Like, I'm not going to answer that in the way.

you want me to. Okay. I've killed multiple goblers. 10, 60 yards. Got it. So, like, what's the typical, 40?

If I shoot lead number five, it's like, yeah, 40. Dude, if a turkey walks by 50 yards, I will buy you

a something. I'm not going to what you're saying. I'm not going to, I'm not going to, you're just going to get closer to them than that. That's what I'm saying.

If you're a really good turkey hunter and a really good collar, you don't need it. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. things.

Yeah. I like Bush wet, like sneaking up. Now that sounds good. Question seven, topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Sammy Stone.

Marmits were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger. I don't know this. Okay. Nate, the guy that you're competing with,

Brody, seems to not know this one. Marmits were given the nickname Blank Pig. You know what a marmit is? I can put, point one out. I think I saw a dead one in Korea once. Are they in Korea?

You may have. They might be. They're pretty like cosmopolitan animal. They eat them in Mongol, yeah. Yeah, the tracks. Well, they didn't call them this, that here. Nate, what are you shooting a 20 gauge or 12 gauge? Okay.

I mean, I guess I could shoot a 20. Yeah, I'll give you. That's the other thing about that TSS stuff. You don't need a... Do you have a 20? I do. But I don't have... I'd have to go buy chokes and crap.

Like, I got all my setup for my 12. We'll talk about this offline. They don't want to hear about my shock and set-ups. Know it worse real good? A slug. You're distracting Nate from coming up with an answer. Marmits were given the nickname Blake Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger.

John, do you have this one right? I think so. I've heard this before. More or less for groundhogs rather than marmots. Oh, come on, man. He's getting mad. Randall, do you like your answer? I do.

Okay, Randall Brody, very confident. John, a little confident. Roman, Corinne, do you have an answer? Marmits were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Thunder Pig. Roman says, screaming pig.

Randall Whistle. John, whistle, Corinne, screaming pig. I did forget a letter. Brody, whistle pig. The correct answer is whistle pig, which is a restaurant. Yeah. You have a big marmot in the window. If you walk out of the adult store in downtown Bosnia, you take a left and a right, you get to the meat eater store.

If you walk out of the adult store and you turn to the right, you'll go to whistle pig. Yeah. You'll see, they have a marmot. I've always wanted to explain where the meat eater stores. Groundhogs have different whistles for different predators. biologists say they've heard unique chirps to signal the presence of eagles, coyotes, bears, humans, and more.

Here is what they sound like. It's very cute. They're good whistlers. I think Brody's impatient. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not. That is a whistle pig. They also call them rock chucks. Rock chucks, wood chucks.

That's what that is? It's the same thing. There's a long range shooting contingent It likes to... Oh, yeah. Big rock chuck shooting. There's a spot in Utah that I've driven through multiple times on the interstate where there's a stretch of road where you see like five or ten of these things every time it's crazy.

That's tough. I've never seen so many wood chucks or rock chucks in one spot. Question eight, the topic is conservation. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. And the room is stopped. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. Do you have this one right, Randall? I have a guess.

A guess. I have a guess that I like. Did Shelby get, is this where Shelby got her 0.66 from? No, that was on the TSS, which I think she said TPS or something like that. So I'm a good husband, so I gave her the point. point six seven. Can Roman get a point six seven? Yeah, he's looking at a lot of time to really decorate your board nicely in this round of

trivia. Yeah, I come here to learn not to play. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. Brody, do you have this one right? I have what seems like could be a good answer, but I did not know this, the answer to this thing. This is one of those questions that I feel like a seventh grade.

science class kid. I'll be honest. Better chance than you guys. I don't think I've ever heard of this. Yeah, I'm not like the seventh grade science thing. They weren't teaching this when I was in seventh grade. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms.

This seems like a play on words if I can help my fellow contestants. There's a lot of heat dropping going on. I don't think so. Okay. Source. Source and blank. Is everybody ready? No, no, I'm changing it.

See? Nate's on his third answer. Nate just got a hint on Roman. Oh, wow. Changed his answer. Roman doesn't know it, does he? No, he doesn't. Dude, if I get it because that hint, I will be, I will kiss you.

Okay, I'm holding you to that. That'll be a good old old BOTE. One TSS shell and Roman a little smooch. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says resource. Roman says supply Randall Space John Capacity Corinne without an answer

Brody says resource The correct answer Which Nate crossed out is sync The source and sink dynamic I had size Oh size I just had bad handwriting The source and sink Dynamic

The source and sink model Shows how populations change across adjacent Habitats At the source habitat You have growing populations at the sink habitat, you have declining populations. Here's an example. On one side of a fence, you have a state park with a lush forest that doesn't allow any hunting.

This is the source population for whitetails. And on the other side of the fence is a bean field with tree stands and tower blinds. This would be the sink population for deer. Source and sync dynamics like this factor into game management across state lines and unit boundaries. I'm very disappointed. I've never heard of that. Source and sync. we have one neighbor in my little area who is the source population of voles

because he has a very trashy yard and then the rest of us are the sink where the vaults are trying to that. Does he have a trashy yard is it just natural? It's like doesn't meet the standards for your neighborhood. It's just a lack of grooming around some of his little buildings

and that's where these folks is getting after him? No, no, it's all behind a fence. It's not that bad. I was the source of the vole population for a while as well. Man. It's not.

It goes to source and sync. All right, Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Two questions remaining. It's a fairly tight game for three players. John Curran and Roman are no longer in the running. But Nate and Randall have five points, and Brody is one point ahead with six in first place.

Two questions to go. Question nine, the topic is gear. This Seattle-based outdoor store with the word co-op in their logo is America's largest consumer co-op. Oh, I've been spending a lot of money there lately. What have you been buying there, Brody? No, I'll talk about it. I don't want to get away.

It sounds like kind of a hint. Kind of a hint. Seattle-based outdoor store. That was a stupid thing to say. The word co-op in their logo is America's largest consumer co-op. But I feel like, how can you not know this? Could have a 100%er in the room here. What are some other source and sinks?

Like the bison The dingo fence Of the dingo fence Well That was the first one that came to mind That'd be good To be a sink they'd have to get to the other side And die though

I figure there's a couple Mm-hmm You know those stone bison maybe The source would be the park The sink would be if they wander out of the park And get killed by a tribal member Or a Montana tag holder This Seattle based outdoor store

With the word co-op In their logo Is America's largest consumer co-op I had a neighbor grown up who had like a vendetta out for moles. In his process, he tapped down all the mole holes and then come back like 20 minutes later and see which ones it opened back up that they'd run through

and then he'd tamp them down again and he'd sit out there with a spade and wait to see the little trail. That's commitment. And he'd get a great yard. Oh, I used to work on golf course many years ago and we used to get a bounty for... What was the bounty?

It was like five bucks. That's a good... That's good. But they're messing up a green or... a T, they can really do a lot. So we just just stomp them when we saw them. That was it. Is everybody ready?

Cats take care of that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Roman and Randall and John and Corinne and Brody. The whole room says REI. The whole room got that correct. It's REI. As a consumer co-op, REI says their business is run by the customers who use it

instead of external shareholders. This has been part of their identity since REI. was founded in 1938. There are 25 million co-op members with one of the unique benefits being that you get to vote in their annual election for the board of directors. Question 10. Before we do question 10,

we will get another scoreboard update before Phil. The song remains the same since I was 100% are Brody as 7. Randall and Nate have 6. Question 10, the topic. Wait, aren't you doing a roundup of correct answers? Oh, you're good. Thank you. I wasn't going to. I got you. I got you. count against it. You just saved me from a conservation donation.

Number one was Yellowstone River. Number two is the movie Holes. Three, the outback. Four, that is the duck boot, the bean boot, or the main hunting shoe. Five was Rockabai Baby. Six was T-S-S. Seven is Whistle Pig. Eight was the sink. And nine was REI. Here's question 10. The topic is cooking. Nice. P.E.I. Muscles are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Brody gets this one right. He's writing his answer round. I really like muscles, Spencer. He's definitely getting that right. This is just a fishing question. If I've gotten it right, he's definitely got it right. P-E-I muscles are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Did you do this on purpose?

Does Campione have muscles, Randall? Uh, yes. God, I love those things. What do you got, Randall? I'm just looking at Pack boots? Yeah, pack boots versus duck boots. What are you learning?

I mean, it does say Leon Wood Bean invented the precursor to modern pack boots, known as the main hunting shoe in 1911. The difference is that a pack boot is lined with felt. Which is definitely something that L.L. Bean did.

a lot of PEI muscles are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Nate Spencer ain't budging on that one, apparently Randall. I don't think we're going to give you the pack boot. Sounds like that came

later. The duck boot was the OG. Do you have this one right, Nate? No. Roman, do you have this one right? I'm feeling suspiciously decent about it. Oh, okay, good. Brody, I didn't know that about you. I didn't know you're a big muscle guy. Oh, God, man. I let that. broth and bread. Muscles and fries is probably in my top three meals.

Yeah. I love that. It's the worst thing is like we go to Steve's shack and it's just like miles of muscle encrusted shoreline. But we're like never there at a time of year when it's like, yeah, you can go get them. Because the season's closed. Because of that, what are they, that, what is it called? The toxic thing.

Yeah. Yeah. Second Street Bistro and Livingston is probably where we do most of our. muscles and fries. PEI muscles. Named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Nate is going to make one last change.

Then we're going to flip them over. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Prince Edward Island. Roman, Prince Edward Island. Randall, same answer. John without an answer. Corinne and Brody say Prince Edward Island. That's not a...

That's not a... No, he's not. He says Prince Edward Muscles. That's not the name of the island. Come on. I think we're going to give it to you. Go ahead. Don't give it to me. I don't care. I don't still win.

You know that his belly was like grumbling. The answer is Prince Edward Island. That's fine. Don't give it to me. I really don't care. Edward Muscle. That's not right. I would give it to him, but if he wants to go to a tiebreaker. I'd give it to him. Okay. I don't want to win this.

We're going to give him the point. PEI muscles are a type of blue muscle that comes from the coastline of Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island. Now a bunch of people are going to be like, bro, he didn't get a problem. They are considered a Astrosk. They are considered a superior muscle thanks to the cold, nutrient-rich waters where they're raised.

PEI muscles are known for their jet black shells, sweet flavor, and tender meat. Another way of looking at it is if you count pack boot and you don't count Prince Edward muscles, I would have just won outright. So we don't even need to go to a tiger. Sure, we can do that instead.

If you want a clean ending to the show. Yeah, yeah, Randall won it. We'll give it to Brody for Prince Edward Muscles. Brody's the winner today with eight correct answers. I feel like this fell flat. Beats the Shelby Index by one point. Should we just do another episode?

Three, three. Brody, where's the five hundred dollars? Man, I don't know. That whole thing just threw me off. Should we do it? Tiebreaker, Spencer? No. We should.

Since we have a new conservation director in Mark Kenyon, and we're going to do like a new version of the LAI, let's throw some money in the media. land access initiative. Okay, Mark thinks that's coming this summer. We haven't done an auction house of oddities in a while. That we have all kinds of good stuff. All right, join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the only game show.

Conservation always wins. Thanks, Spencer. Thank you, Spencer. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota. He's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.
