You can send your mailbag questions to trivia at the meat eater.com with the subject line mailbag. Brady Bacler says, I'm looking to buy my first boat this year, but I've always heard the saying about how the best day of boat ownership is the day you buy it. Nope. And the second best day is the day you sell it. Is that true? No. Are boats that big of a headache? Seth, do you have any thoughts on? No, boats are the best thing you'll ever do in your life.

Wow. He just had a baby, what, two months ago? Yeah, that's pretty sweet, too. Yeah, boat doesn't shit, it's pants. Boats. Baby. Okay. Listen, tell us more.

There's so much you can do with the boat. And if you, I guess it depends if you're like, freaking lazy and let it go to shit. Yes. But if you take care of it, you'll have the best times your life on the water. Okay. Yeah. I'm glad you're doing all kinds of things you weren't able to do without it.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Any other boat owners want to add some perspective for, I love my boat. Okay. I want another one. Ooh. I would have two or three if I could.

I had two for a while. I bought and sold a boat. I think it's necessary to have like three to four boats. Yeah. I bought and sold a boat before putting it in the water. Okay. Just when I bought it on Craigs. I'd live on a boat.

You do this with guns too. But also, when I started working, it was like right before I moved over here. And I was like, oh, I just sell that. It's one fewer trip towing something. You don't even like guns and boats. I'm realizing you just like, negotiating with strangers. Yeah, there is...

You're just like buying itself. There's something exciting about that. Okay, Brady. Brody and Seth tell you get that boat. Don't listen to the folks who say the second best days. And buy it used to say. I wonder what he wants to get.

I'm dying to know now. I'll check back in with Brady and see if we can get an answer to that. All right, we have some housekeeping on last week's episode of Trivia. The Wives episode, The Tiebreaker Question, was about how many stars are in the Big Dipper.

The correct answer was, But in the overtime excitement, my wife Shelby missed the flavor text, which included a callback that I was very proud of. So I'm going to read that today. All right, earlier in the episode, they talked about the Lakota lore behind Devil's Tower. According to them, seven sisters climbed a small butte to escape a group of hungry bears. As the bears got close, the earth shook until the tiny hill turned into an enormous tower. The bears continued to climb and slide down backwards, which gave the Butte its ribbed appearance. eventually the bears were buried alive by falling rocks and the seven sisters escaped.

Now here's the tie in. The Lakota say the seven sisters who evaded the bears on Devil's Tower weren't able to get down from the Butte. Instead, they rode birds into the sky and became the seven stars that formed the Big Dipper. So now you know, when you're looking up with the Big Dipper, those came... You'd tell that story to Virgil. Yeah. There you go.

That's perfect. On your boat. On the boat. On the boat. Best thing that's ever happened to him. 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 what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Suckers! Question one, the topic is fishing, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Is it black croppy,

walleye, brook trout, or large mouth bass? One of those is a cool water fish. Is it black croppy, walleye, brook trout,

or largemouth bass? Brody, quick to answer. Yeah, that was pretty easy one, I feel like. Okay, easy one. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Black Cropy, walleye, Brook trout.

It's easier if you got a boat, too. I bet Brady won't get this one right, but once he's a boat owner, he'll have the knowledge. Yeah, I hope he sends in a photo of his boat. Okay. Maybe his baby, too. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says, Brooke Trout, Sarah, Wally, Randall, Brook Trout, John, Brook Trout, Alex, Brooktrout, Brody, Walleye.

The correct answer is Walleye. is walleye rody and Sarah Brick trout's cold water Got that one right Oh wait Black Cropi and largemouth bass Are warm water fish

Brook trout are cold water fish And walleye are cool water fish Cool water fish Prefer cold water Than warm water fish And warmer water than cold water Other cool water species Are northern pike

Sager and yellow perch Cool Water is the in-between between warm and cold. You don't say. Question two. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Thomas Peterson. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name,

is used by taxidermis to absorb grease and deter insects. Randall, Sarah, Brody, Seth, Alex, all quick to answer. John is joining them. This may be a 100%. center. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name, is used by taxidermis to absorb grease

and deter insects. Sort of in the name. There's a hint. John, do you have this one right? I think so. Okay. I have a five-letter word. Our players think they are six for six. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five-letter name,

is used by taxidermis to absorb grease and deter insects. Go ahead and reveal your answers, Seth and Sarah and Randall. The whole room says Borax. The whole room got that right. It is Borax. B-O-R-A-X. Borax is a white powder that helps preserve the skin of mammals, birds, and fish. It's made synthetically, but also occurs in nature. When seasonal lakes dry and leave a mineral deposit, Borax is commonly used in cleaning products, laundry boosters, hand soaps, and tooth bleaching formulas.

Brody, are you a borax user for your homemade European mounts? Oh, no, I don't use it on skulls. I feel like I hear guys use it on skulls. I'm sure they have, but no. There's the same thing. No bleach, nothing harsh on skulls, man. It just ruins them. Sodium borate, also known as borax.

Question three, the topic is Wismanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Randall has his answer. Our other five players have blank whiteboards. Again, this is question three. We're flying through him today. Yeah.

The topic is woodmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Seth, do you have this one right? I think so, but Maybe not. We ought to fill the time here. Drag this out for more ad rolls.

Seth, tell us about a bad day of boat ownership. The worst day of boat ownership that you've had. Just so we know it's all not cotton candy and rainbows. I'm trying to think the worst day of boat ownership I've ever had. Yeah, you'd like had a tighter fall off your trailer. motor wouldn't start that's Brody about tire pull off trailer ball bearings go bad

80 miles an hour on well I mean it's with the boat Seth had that Seth no longer has you were going 80 miles an hour and did it just come off or did you like feel it shit? Oh my goodness

single axle Jesus yeah yeah oh that's right stop you in a hurry where'd that tire end up going off in a ditch I got it back actually it was like the

The damage was minimal. Yeah. I was surprised. Anyway, you got me, I'm trying to think of this. Okay, we got to leave brody or one. Not a lot of, but. How about when you broke down that one? Yeah, I was just thought of that.

We were up in Alaska one time, and our motor one start. Mm. And I look up, and I just see a wall of freaking water coming towards us. Uh-oh. And it's getting windy, and we're out there in the freaking gray blue ocean. Okay. And a 17-foot skip, yeah. And I had to call Steve and he had to come toes back.

Okay, you got off. Were you there, bro? Did you come out with it? No. When I broke down on that same trip. In low red, yeah, we got stranded. Bad weekend to be a boat owner. Yeah.

That's it. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit. Forget it. It is sometimes referred to as a horse apple or monkey ball. Sarah, do you have this one right? What is it? Probably not.

No, Alex, do you have this one right? I listed a tribe from Oklahoma. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says, Osage, Orange. Dang it. Sarah, Seneca. Randall, O'Sage.

John, without an answer, Alex says Comanche, Brody, Persimmon. The correct answer is O'Sage Orange. I think we'll give it to Randall. Yeah, he gives to him. Yeah, he gives to. It was close, though. O'Sage orange lumber is coveted by woodworkers for furniture, kitchenware, and musical instruments,

while ancient humans liked it for making bows. Because very few animals take an interest in the fruit, some biologists believe it's an example of anachronism evolution. This idea says that the animal responsible for spreading Osage oranges is now extinct in that it may have been a favorite food source for mastodons or groundwork. sloths, a similar theory exists for avocados. Here is a picture of if animals don't like it. Why do they call it a horse apple and a monkey ball?

Well, maybe horses like it, but they're also not, you know, around since the ice age. I point out there's horses around ice age and the Newcomb family. And the Newcomb family. Yeah. For perspective, if you're watching this on YouTube, those Osage oranges are like baseball to softball size. Those are big old fruits that are made on these trees. You can hug those things.

Question four. The topic is conservation. This Island Nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested, iguanas, and monkey-faced fruit bats. Our players are stumped. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. Seth, did you just come up with the correct answer? No. No, I don't know. It's the first thing it popped in my head.

Okay. I don't even know if it's an island nation. We're on to be honest. I noticed this during the news show last week, and I'm looking around the room at like Seth, Randall and Brody. It was probably a mistake to paint the walls of this room, a color that's just a couple of shades off from a very popular first light. That's correct.

I'll note I didn't vote for this color. What did you vote for? I don't remember. It's not this. Cal print. I just remember losing. Steve Asford. from my input, but I didn't feel like he actually

wanted my input. Yeah, that's kind of what it was. He was just hoping that I would say his answer. Yeah, that's where I was. This Island Nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested, iguanas, and monkey-faced fruit bats. Brody, do you have this one right? I got an answer that makes sense. That's all I can say.

Two of our players have answers that they feel okay about. This is question four. Jesus, tough. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey-faced fruit bats. The gas station cooler is catching up.

Okay. You can just throw that out of the question if you'd like. No, that's how I got it. If I got it. All right. Brody thinks that's an important part of the question. Yeah, if I got it, that's the only way I got it. Mm. TikTok.

Mm. Tick-tog. It's not bush. light. I roll that out. It's not Snapple. The Bush Nation Randall. You're just You're waiting on me.

Well, I'm going to ask that you either fill the airwaves with something interesting or write down an answer. I hosted some trivia this past weekend. Oh, okay. This is a good start. Tell us about that. At an ELR match in in Southeastern Wyoming. 20 questions. We went to a tie-bring.

I was thinking about sharing the questions with everybody to see how you guys scored. The two teams that went to the tiebreaker each had 18 out of 20 correct. Wow. I felt good about that. You know what? That's a perfect round of trivia. Yeah, that's what I thought. Shout out, shout out, Jose.

Were they all ELR-related questions? They were all ballistics and rifle-related questions. And I had a gentleman come up to me afterwards who had written a book on ballistics, and he said he really enjoyed the trivia and he thought it was well done. That's great. Now you can, you've banked some questions

for a future episode. I don't know. I think we had stuff like, too hard. Yeah, like rank these powders by burn rate. Okay. Things of that nature.

Okay. With that little filler content, did you come up with an answer, Randall? No. This island nation whose name he might see in a gas station cooler is home to endangered, crested iguanas and monkey face.

Kind of unfair that I have to fill the airways. This might be the record. refrigerator. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Set says, Fuji, we got Sarah without an answer, Randall without an answer. Brody says,

Fiji, the correct answer is Fiji. Is it Fiji? FI, J-I. Are we giving it to set? What do we think of giving that to set? He wrote down the apple. Is that an apple? We'll give it to him.

Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is about two things. the size of Hawaii. The islands are home to some species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world. And true to its name, Fiji Water comes from an aquifer on Fiji's biggest island. If you'd ask me beforehand, like, does Fiji come from Fiji? I'd be like, not a chance. No way. Yeah.

It actually does. So I'm very impressed. That's wild. Question five, the topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Leland Hart for sending this great question. Leland is going to get a $150 first. like gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week,

and send your question to trivia at the Medeater.com. We don't have to start paying Leeland's salary. I've heard that name a lot. Leeland Hart. He needs an Esquire behind his. It's like a, that kind of. Southern lawyer. He was one of our best attendees to Medita Radio Live, RIP,

and he sends me plenty of trivia questions. Here is his listener question of the week. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine-letter muscle. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Injure. after this. An outside skirt steak comes from this five-letter muscle. Randall playing some hangman, but he doesn't seem to like what he wrote down. I got nine letters. I ain't messing around. Okay. Fiji water Brody thinks he has it. I don't know. I got nine letters. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine-letter muscle. Next time I need to buy a bottle of water. I'm going to get Fiji just to see if I can taste.

It's pretty good bottled water. Are you a purist when it comes to bottled water? Can you like, could we do a Pepsi challenge where you're blindfolded and you drink? Dasani versus smart water. I mean, I could probably tell the difference between good and bad. And I have an idea of what brands are good and which ones are bad. Fiji falls on the good side of that spectrum. Fiji falls on the good side.

Desani falls on the bad side. Amen. Pretty. That's terrible water. But I tend to, I don't buy bottled water. It's more of a principal thing. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine-letter muscle. Phil, do you have bottled water takes?

Not at all except that Desani is bad. That's the one, sort of like Sarah, it's like good and bad. Desani's a one where I'm like, this is just, this is a tier below, you know. Like Ice Mountain is a really good one. Ice Mountain is the one. Don't they have like nine names depending on where you live in the country? It's like Deer Park if you're in New York and it's Ice Mountain over here. Yeah.

Up in the Northeast. Glacier, if you're over here. Holland Springs. Sarah, do you have this one right? I have a nine-letter muscle that geographically makes sense. Okay. An outside skirt state comes from this nine-letter muscle.

I don't know if cows have this muscle. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth, without an answer, Sarah says, trapezeus. Trapezeus. Trapezeus.

Randle, quadricep. John, without an answer. Alex without an answer. Brody says diaphragm. Brody got it. The correct answer is the diaphragm. Yeah, I've heard it called a hangar steak. I was thinking of hangar steak.

I wrote down diaphragm where I was like, but I don't even know that two things are the St. Sementer. If you listen to, well, by the time this airs, Monday's episode of the Meat Eater podcast, this is discussed. Yeah. Okay. The skirt steak is also known as the Philadelphia steak or fajita steak. The outside skirt comes from the diaphragm, while the inside skirt comes from the transversus abdominous. It is a flat, tough cut of meat with a thick grain.

For more on skirt steaks, go watch Yanni's video on the meat eater.com called How to Prepare a Venison skirt steak. What about hangar steak? Well, yeah, so that's what we discuss. The hangar steak is known, it's like the legs of the diaphragm. So it's part of that muscle, but it's just kind of like some of the outside. Good clarity, Phil. That's an underrated cut. Phil, scoreboard update.

Oh, yes. It's that time, isn't it? Here we are at halftime. Everyone's on the board. John and Alex have one point apiece. Sarah and Randall are up next with two points. Seth has three, and in first place, it's Brody Henderson. He's got four points.

Oh, you had diaphragm? Yeah, I wrote it down. I had diaphragm, too. I was like, that's inside. I had diaphragm, too, and I was just thinking, I convinced myself that hanger steak and a skirt steak weren't the same thing. So close. Yeah.

It's just like different points of something. So I was right. So I was right. Yeah. 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, I've got my own show.

Film Never Lies, available on all TSN platforms in the IHeart Radio app. On Blood Trails, the stories don't end when the hunt is over. They just get darker. I've seen something in the road. I instantly thought it was a sleeping bed. and there was a full of blood.

Oh my God, he doesn't have a head. Blood Trails is a true crime podcast born in the outdoors, where the terrain is unforgiving, the evidence is scarce, and the truth gets buried under brush and silence. Indications were he should be right there, but he wasn't. This season, we're going deeper,

from cold case files to whispered suspicions, from remote mountains to frozen backwoods. Each story begins in the wilderness, and ends in darkness. Because out here, there are no witnesses, no cameras, just fragments, and the people left behind trying to piece them back together. He's not an honest person. He's incapable of being honest.

Somebody somewhere knows something. I'm Jordan Sillers. Season 2 of Blood Trails premieres April 16th. Follow now on Apple, Iheart, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. Question six. The topic is hunting this next. great question is via Micah Greenway. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland

Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. Randall, quick to answer this one. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the big stick. Phil, can you turn the camera off me real quick? Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm going to take my hoodie off and I'm going to pull it over my head and it's probably going to lift my shirt up to that. It's on Spencer. So Spencer, you make some facial expressions based on what you see. I will, I'll observe. Yeah, there's no skin show. That is a perfectly acceptable. Just in case.

I just thought I wanted to be very conservative there. Yeah. We don't want to call any attention to that. Get a lot of chemicals on my clothing today, so I didn't know what's stick together. This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle, which became known as the big stick. And Randall was very. confident that he has this one right. Alex, do you have this one right?

No. I'm coming from behind now, so I'm just, it's not that I'm confident. Okay. It's that I'm at ease. It's not a lot of pressure. Alex and I have the same uniform on today, black shirt and green first light hat.

Brody, do you have this one right? I don't know. I'll justify my answer. Okay. This hunter carried an H&H royal double rifle, which became known as the big stick.

Is everybody ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth and Sarah. Without an answer, Randall says, TR, John,

Teddy Roosevelt, Alex, Teddy Roosevelt, Brody Roosevelt. They got it. The correct answer is Teddy Roosevelt. Shout out big John. So when they say,

speak softly and carry a big stick, they're just referring to I'll tell you about the H&H Royal Double Rifle was chambered in five, 500 450. Its nickname was inspired by his big stick diplomacy, which derived from his quote, Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far. TR used the gun on an African safari where he killed dangerous game, including eight elephants.

And here is a picture of TR with that big stick. And a rhino he killed and a, what are those called? Buzzards? No. Is that what it is? No. It's some kind of like. Bustard?

It looks like a stort or a cossards. current yeah some like long-legged uh randall you get how come you haven't gotten into the the double big game rifles oh i'd love to i mean that's a it's not really a working man's rifle uh cabella's used to carry that around the mountains for elk cabell is used to sell a uh a side by i don't know they might still but i remember as a child really wanting a side-by-side black powder they called it like the codyack double express or something and you could get it i believe you could get it in 72 caliber side-by-side-side black powder.

It seemed 20 pounds. But could you imagine? And that bird is, it's a courty bustard, which is Africa's largest flying bird. Oh, you nailed it. The buster. And the big stick diplomacy,

I think that was about when he was discussing war with other nations that you come ready to negotiate and you just like are very pragmatic. And if things don't go your way, then you have the big stick that you can swing. Question seven. The topic is wildlife.

This 10-letter word is defined as, quote, the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. This 10-letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. Brody locks in his answer Whiteboard is down Sarah doing some counting Randall looking at the answer looking at the question looking back at the answer Do you like what you have Randall?

No, I have nine letters Just throw an extra one in there You've got it right Just putting E at the end I think so This 10 letter word It's defined as the active killing Hopelessly Sick or Injured Individuals

in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. The answer is now entered Randall's brain. No, I just needed a different form of the same word. Oh, wow. You know, we should have a spelling bee sometime. Leave me out. I have, I can compete. I've discussed this exact thing with Phil on a future concept

where we do just a product that is strictly video rather than video and audio, and a spelling bee would potentially be part of that. So if I have a different form of the word that doesn't have 10 letters, is that still? Not going to give you any hints. You need to have a 10-letter word. 10-letter word that means the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals

in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. You'll get there. I wish it was 9. I feel like it should be 9. It should be 9. Seth has tapped out on this one. He's already moved on to the next question. Yeah, like 12.

I think I was good for about three. questions being right and not used to all up already. Okay. I think I wrote a middle school report on this word. About why it is okay to do. Okay. I would like to hear a middle school's perspective. Way before I ever even understood what it actually was.

Seth is maybe coming out. Did it just hit you, Seth, as to what it could be? Is everybody ready? I have one letter too long now. Uh-oh. Okay. No one else. had that problem. Go ahead

and reveal your answer. Seth says putting down. There it is. Sarah, euthanized, Randall, euthanasia. John euthanized. Alex euthanized. Brody, euthanasia. The correct answer is euthanasia. What do we think

about euthanize? Yes, tense. What are we doing here? Well, euthanized is ten. They all get it. So you're unithized? Yeah. They did the past tense. It was euthanized. Yeah.

I think we should give it. Okay. You ought to remind me which people say. But then euthanize should also. Alex. What's that? Euthanize. Yeah.

It's the spirit of the question. We got the spirit of the question. Yeah, you know, it's like putting them down. It's estimated that about 600,000 shelter animals were euthanized in 2024. As for wildlife, 22 data shows that 400,000 wild animals were intentionally killed by the U.S. DA that year. That includes 56,000 coyotes, 26,000 beavers, 2,000 foxes, 500 bobcats, 500 black bears, 200 wolves, 200 mountain lions, and seven grizzlies. Hold on there, Spencer. That's not youth. They're not killing animals that were hopelessly sick or

injured. They're killing vermin. I mean, I think you could have a different, a different definition of euthanized that just means like simply. They ain't euthanizing coyotes, dude. That's not euthanasia. That's not euthanasia. They're like eliminating coyotes because they don't want them around. Or they count animals caught in traps. Yeah. Yeah.

I'd accept that argument. I feel like it's just like a mercy killing. I don't think it's your fault, Spencer. I bet you found that somewhere, and that's how it was worded. The person who told you that statistic is. We're on to question eight. Trust me. Topic is gear.

This next great question is via Charlie McDowler. This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquid. while allowing water vapor to pass through was invented in 1969. John, you better not get this one. Yeah, storeboy. I got this one. Oh, wait.

Okay, this brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through, was invented in 1969. Okay, some quick answers and then some changed answers. Well, you're asking about the brand. I'm unclear on what you're asking for the brand. Okay.

This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through. So if you put the fabric down, you're wrong. Put down the brand that made the fabric. Well, it's kind of the same, aren't they? The brand and Spencer looks at it. The brand and the company, I think, are two different things. This brand's breathable fabric, which blocks liquids while a lot of it. allowing water vapor to pass through was invented in 1969.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Gore, Sarah, W. L. Gore, Randall, Gore, TX. John, L. Gore. W. L. Gore. Text. John, Gore. Alex, Gord, Tex. Brody, Gore. The correct answer is Gortex. We'll give you the variations. That's not the brand. That's the fabric. Gortex is the brand. I believe, and I think they've got like

Gore's the brand. I thought Gore's the company, but it's branded with Gore. Oh, man. A lot of dog contendrys in this one. Any, any version of Gore that you said, the WL. Gore is the Gore Tex. Gortex. Oh, man, I'm getting tired. Gorex was created when Bob Gore realized he could

stretch PFTE rods to make a microporous fabric. The first commercial products to use it were tents and jackets. Now you'll find it across the outdoor industry. and reindeer boots and gloves from Adidas to Patagonia. It's like if you had a question about Taco Bell Pizza Hut KFC and someone said Yum Brands. Yum brands.

Like I would say Yum Brands is not the brand, even though the name makes it even more confusing now. I would say the brand is still Taco Bell. Who else rolls up under that conglomerate? I think that's just it. It's just those sweet. That's why I get this. Well, I don't know if that's still a thing,

but it used to get sweet-like combos. Oh, well, sometimes you've got the Taco Bell Pizza Hut. Yeah. Bozeman here with the A&W Taco Bell. I think KFC was a young brand. No, we have A&W KFC. That's fine. Somebody's going to

destroy me in the comments. Is it Long John Silver's too in A&W? That sounds familiar. That's not what we have in Bozeman. Oh, I love Long John Silver's. Red Lobster stats. We have two questions left, Phil. Give us a scoreboard update. Oh, well, it's going to be

tough for anyone to catch Brody who's currently in first place. I really screwed the points. He's two points ahead of the second place contestant. Randall Williams, who did come back.

He's got five, and then Seth, Sarah Alex, have four points. John has three. I don't even feel good. So I was obviously the most points

ever had in trivia. I was about to say, no offense, but it's a good performance for you. Okay. Two questions left to topple that high score,

Alex. Question nine, the topic is wildlife. Star knows, short-faced, and Hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Brody.

Finish his answer before I finish the question that's probably locked in his victory. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Sarah, do you have this one right? Maybe. I have an animal that looks like it has a star-nosed. She's playing for second place. See if she can beat Bramble Star-nosed, short-faced,

and hairy-tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms and will have some story time with Brody after the answer is all the field. If I got the answer right? Story time with Brody. Can we clip that? Nah, nah, nah.

Hold on. I reckon my day. It is one of those back in the way. Okay, great. Alex John, do you boys have an answer? Come on, John. Store boys are counting on you. Well, we've got another store boy who's showing up. You guys sell my bear rug yet?

No, but it's hanging in the common air. It's first thing you see when you walk through the door now after our renovations. Yeah, the next thing you see is that beautiful new 380 square feet of floor space? That's right. I haven't seen the upgraded store yet. Oh, big time. Huge. since our opening in 2024.

And if you come on down for a brand new look. Yeah. Come on down. And the wall that was, the TV was on has been pushed back. We took out that whole back room, which was our backstock, and added another 300 idiots.

Yeah, that square feet. That area where you used to just go smash pizzas and beers to storeboys. That's where they did. You can still do that. Yeah. Where do we smash beers and pizzas now? Downstairs? Okay.

All right. You can do it downstairs, but it's a little roomier now and back. He'll often stop there on his way home from here. He's going there today. What's that? Yeah, I got to stay today. One more time. Star-nosed, short-faced, and hairy-tailed.

They're all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, Mole. Sarah, Moll, Randall, Moll. Storeboy, John, without an answer. I thought you said Applebees. What is that? It says Armadillo.

Alex says Armadillo, Brody says mole. The correct answer is mole. Moles are subterranean animals, meaning they spend most of their life underground. Although landscapers and gardeners hate them, they provide soil erration and eat pests that feed on roots. Some moles have toxic saliva that paralyzes worms, which allows them to store their still living prey for later consumption. Researchers have discovered mole food stashes with more than a thousand worms. Wow. We are now looking at the star-faced,

excuse me, the star-nosed mole, which is native to the eastern United States. You look at that thing and you're like, certainly that lives in Asia or South America, but nope, right here in the lower 48. When I was in high school and early college,

I worked on a golf course, lands on the grounds crew. You guys especially hate these things. Those boys, the, the ore boys that own the course, they did not like moles because they would mess up T's and greens real bad.

So we had stomp them whenever we saw them. And you would bring them back at the end of, you'd bring your mole kill back at the end of the day and they'd hand out bounties. It was a dollar a mole. Okay. Wow. Which when you were making five bucks an hour, you know.

Yeah, the snack bar at the country club in the 60s probably get a lot of the dollar. I imagine they didn't, uh, they weren't able to escape really easy. when a boot was coming out. No, no, they're not real fast. Yeah, okay. Do you know what kind of moles you were killing? It was that? Okay, the son knows guys.

I'm glad you did that. That's a horrifying animal. All right, here's the correct answer review so far. One was walleye. Two, borax. Three, Osage, orange, four, Fiji. Five, diaphragm. Six, Teddy Roosevelt.

Seven, euthanasia. Eight, Cortex. nine mole Phil scoreboard update. Oh yeah. Sorry. Here you are. You could say

Brody's practicing save sex because he just wrapped it up. He's got it and he secured the victory. There's a new one.

How long have you been sitting on that, Phil? I was sitting on it about 45 seconds. I was really proud of it. We were lacking to use it.

We were lacking a signature moment for an episode whatever this is. Yeah. Just gave it to us. Here's question 10, the topic is woodsmanship.

This next great question is via Thomas Nethercott. G.I.S. stands for blank, blank system. I always forget this. GIS stands for blank, blank system. And this is woodsmanship? If you got woodsmanship, you don't need this. That's why I don't know. That's right.

Yeah, Virgil. They'll learn to navigate by the star. That's right. Sights and smells. Blank system. Just like a star-nosed mole. Daddy, why does Uncle Randall smell like hot dogs? I don't think I smell like hot dogs.

I think I smell like lighter fluid. Oh, it reeks a hot dog. I thought the primary smell on the opposite day was onions. That's because Randall's burping them up. No, there was a really good onion onions. scene that I witnessed that eyes closing. Oh, okay.

I was crying. A lot of competing odors happening in the office today. Yeah, I think we just cut that just to the onion chopping. That would be the best thing done as a company. Just keep open flames away from Randall

for the next one. He's Randall Williams chopping an onion. Yeah. Alex, I mean, do you disagree? With what? How good my onion chopping scene was.

I still taste them in my mouth. Very good. Yeah, that's it. We've sent it to the Emmy coordinators. Alex's got a couple dogs. No one's saying he stinks. We've got a real doozy of a hot dog making video coming next Wednesday.

Okay. Yeah, it should be at least 19 to 23 seconds long. Very emotional, impactful. I set it up greatly. I said, I looked at the camera with my ingredients. I said, I don't think I need to explain what we're doing here.

We just proceed to cook. We should have done it with like the Whose Line is it anyway thing where someone has their hands tied behind their back and then the other person stands behind them and they're the ones who are... Let's reshoot the whole thing. Let's reshoot the whole thing.

We're counting on Randall's eyes and then someone else's arms reaching around him to prepare the hot dogs. That's actually, that would... And then you feed yourself the hot dog as well. Phil, let's cut all this out. That's a great idea for content. Phil, that always came at the end of the show, right?

I imagine you love his lives. Yeah, once they smear whipped cream and peanut butter all over each other, kind of had to end the show. It'll take that idea down to the big content furnace and shovel it in there and keep the cold going. GIS stands for Blank Blake System. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. I don't know. Virgil's dad says geographical blank system. Sarah, global information. Randall, what's that said? Geospatial information? John, geographic image. I think you're right.

Global Imperial Brody, global information. The correct answer is geographic information. Did anybody have that right? I had image. Yeah. Oh, okay. Nobody got that one, right? Zero percent of that we have.

Shut it down, Phil. Go ahead and shut it down. GERS is a computer system that captures, stores, and displays geographic information. It allows users to create interactive maps to analyze. patterns and solve complex location-based issues. While some use it to find the best path for a road, others use it to look for wallows for rutting elk. That makes Brody our winner today with eight correct answers.

Brody, what are you going to do with that $500 donation? Nobody ever claps when I win. I just clasped. They just did a half-hearted clap. What do you want? Did you guys get Montana Outdoors magazine, the one at FWP? Oh, yeah.

I have some years. I don't think I have it right now. You should get, most state agencies have a magazine like that. Anyway, I just got the new one recently, and there's an article in there about cottonwoods. And, like, disappearing, like, cottonwood habitats,

kind of disappearing in Montana in places. And long story short, I'm going to donate the money to Friends of the Missouri River breaks because they're doing some cottonwood restoration stuff. A long day. I like that. I like that. Missouri River.

That's great. This part of the world likes the Cottonwoods. We had the tree champion episode on Me Deeter Radio one day and they have a record-breaking cottonwood, the biggest one in the world in Nebraska. And I think there's a different species of Cottonwood

here in Montana that holds the champion tree. Brodie sending donating to friends of the Missouri Brakes. Is that right? Missouri River Brakes. Join us next week for more Meat-Eater trivia. The only game show, Conservation always wins. Thanks, Spencer.
