It's a meat eater podcast.
Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Seth, Laura, Riva, and Cade.
This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters four verticals, which are hunting, fishing,
fishing, conservation, and cooking.
There is a prize.
Meadeter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.
We're starting today's show with a mailbag question.
You can send your mailbag questions to trivia at the meat eater.com with the subject line mailbag.
Drew Madison says, does the crew have any tips for DIY European mounts?
I've decided I'll do my own buck the next time I kill one.
Brody's the man.
Brody, DIY Euro mounts.
Give Drew some advice.
I assume he's talking about.
It's just assume it to whitel.
In a pot, right?
Not using Beatles.
don't overcook them
like don't get it on a rolling boil
just a really light simmer with a bubble now and then
don't put bleach in there
that'll ruin it
put some dish soap in there that'll help cut some fat
and just do it
start at like two hours say and check it
and then just keep going for 30 minute segments
until everything is like falling off
easily. Like if you got to like get in there and pry shit off, it needs more time.
Yeah. That's why you should-
Be careful with the nose bones. They're gonna, like, sometimes you can't help it. Those nose
bones are gonna just fall off after cooking for a while, but you can super gloom right back in there.
Skin that head right away. Every day that goes by, the harder it gets to pull that eye out. You think it gets easier?
Totally disagree. You want to keep the moisture in there?
If you skin that thing when you kill it out in the field,
That skull, all that shit on that skull starts drying up and it turns into cement on the skull.
Leave the hide on the skull and then skin it right before you cook it.
I think it's just such a pain, though, to get that hide off once it's been on there for a few weeks.
You can throw it in there with the hide on and cook that thing and then peel it right off.
I have three or four bull elk skull caps in the barn with the little, you know, rectangle of hair.
Yep.
And I tell myself, I really know.
need to get those off.
Still there.
Still there.
Actually, my bull elk from this past fall is still just sitting in my garage.
Skull on.
Okay.
And, like, I tell this to, uh, Janus does the same thing as me, too.
But like, when we're all together for that youth hunt, and there's them kids are killing all kinds
of bucks.
Um, when you skin those things, your skull, like, you can't, you can't take that thing in to get
tested for CWD.
And if you're in an air, like, so if you leave.
the hide and a little bit of that neck meat on there, then they can test the thing if you're
inclined to get your thing tested.
I got a buddy who killed a mule deer in 2022 and never skinned it out.
How do you think that would fare?
Just throw it in the pot.
It's in the freezer?
No, it's been sitting open air in his garage since 22.
It is garage.
Oh, wow.
Well, now he lives in an apartment.
So it's in an apartment now.
He's single?
Yeah.
I'd say for that he needs to do the, is it maceration?
that is that the word?
I feel like that's become a more...
I did that this year.
It's nasty.
Yeah.
He's...
Yeah, Yonis has a tub going.
I'm like...
Yeah.
It's cool, but why wait months for something
you could do in a few hours?
There you go.
You've ever gone the pressure washer route?
Huh?
The pressure washer route?
Boil them and the pressure washer.
I think it's a bunch of BS.
I think you just blow skulls apart
with those pressure wash.
Delicate little bones there.
All right, a lot of advice there.
for Drew Madison.
No, people attack me.
I'm ready.
Bring it on.
We have some housekeeping.
On our previous episode of trivia,
I had a question about the number of Labrador colors recognized by the AKC.
The correct answer was three.
And when some folks in the room heard the question, they said it sounded familiar.
Well, they were right.
I used that same question back in 2024.
And I liked it so much that I used it again in 2026.
And I liked it so, so much that in both episodes, it was question 10.
So this is the same.
second time in her five-year history
that I've repeated a question. He's losing his
edge. Did you mean to do that?
No, that was an accident. I don't want
to repeat questions. They're going to send you
off to the home, Spencer.
The opening scene and top gun when he hands
his wings in. Do you think trivia will ever hit like the river
monster's threshold where you just like run out of
trivia questions? It could
and just like dissolves. That's why I keep
trying to grow the universe and then
make more questions that Brody and
Yanni get angry at. They're like, that's not
I feel like you haven't been doing that.
Oh, wait till today's episode.
Oh, yeah, that's what I like.
Now, the Shelby Index for this episode is a five,
so I'm putting us on perfect score alert.
And with that, we're on to the game of trivia.
Hold on, Phil just had to come apart back there.
My light controller.
Keep going. We got that.
On your watch, Phil, play the drop whenever you're ready.
There it is.
Nice.
Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Everything.
How's that?
Just tend to win everything.
Question one, the topic is Mountain Men.
This first great question is via Shalyn Tichi, and this will be multiple choices.
Is everything okay, Phil?
Yeah, something happened with Spencer's camera.
I'm trying to fix it.
Okay, it's back to normal.
Which of these mountain men was the only one to live past the age of 50?
Jedediah Smith, Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, John Coulter.
which of these mountain men was the only one to live past the age of 50.
Jedediah Smith, Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, or John Coulter.
Randall, do you have this one right?
I do.
Phil, I think we should, every week, cut out a little five-second clip from Cal's week in review
and play it over the trivia intro.
So it's like he's still here with us.
Oh, like he's talking over the time.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
But he never came to trivia when he was here.
That's true, but when he did, you knew it.
Because he'd talk through that.
Randall, could you tell me how all four of these men died?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I could tell you a good story about the guy who lives past the age of 50.
Okay.
Which one of them lived past the age of 50?
Your four choices, Jedediah Smith, Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, John Coulter.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Jim Bridger. Cade says Jedediah Smith. Randall Bridger,
Laura, Bridger, Reva, John Colter, Brody, Jim Bridger. The correct answer is Jim Bridger.
Jedediah Smith was 32 when he was killed by Comanchee Warriors. John Colter was somewhere between 36 and 43.
When he passed from an illness, Hugh Glass was 50 when he was killed during a confrontation with the Ericorah tribe.
And Jim Bridger was 77 when he died in his sleep at his farm near Kansas City.
What do you got for us, Randall?
Well, when he was old, he started going blind.
Bridger.
Yeah.
He ran, didn't he run a fort during the Mormon Wars?
Yeah, yeah.
And he, but then he sort of became like a Forrest Gump character in the West.
But then he, he started going blind.
And he had a, uh, he had a dog.
And he would go ride around this farm in Missouri.
And the dog, he would just get lost because he couldn't see anything.
And so his daughter said that when the dog came back to the house, they knew that he was lost.
And the dog would like take them back to go find Jim Bridger because you just get lost on this small property.
You can learn all that in Meteor's American History, Volume 2, the Mountain Man out of fall of 2025.
Check it out.
Okay.
It's a tough career being a mountain man.
And tough career being an audiobook author, researcher.
Question two.
The topic is fishing.
The Minnesota DNR says an ice angler experiencing this silent killer will, quote, feel like you're coming down with the flu.
This is question two.
The topic is fishing.
The Minnesota DNR says an ice angler experiencing this silent killer will feel like you're coming down.
with the flu.
Seth, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Kay, do you have this one right?
Confident.
Okay.
Our last storeboy was in here.
John, what did he end up getting?
He had four or five?
Three.
Three?
Okay, Kay, you need to beat three today to be a storeboy champion.
The Jim Brinter question is like, I took Montana history in high school.
It's embarrassing.
Oh, shoot.
They named the whole state after him.
The Minnesota DNR says an ice-angler, experience.
this silent killer will feel like you're coming down with the flu.
Randall, do you have this one right?
I hope so.
Okay.
Laura, do you have this one right?
I don't know.
We're going to see.
Have you been ice fishing before, Laura?
I have, but I haven't died, so I haven't experienced this.
Not doing it right.
Lacking that perspective.
Yeah.
You got to live on the edge a little bit.
Randall, what does the back of your whiteboard say?
Oh, yeah, this thing.
It says, at meat eater flagship store, one word, no spaces, or,
dashes, in parentheses, check them out on social guys.
Okay, thank you.
Just give a shout out to the flagship store, downtown Bozeman, Montana.
Some helpful guys there.
We're going to see if Kate.
Does the other store have an account?
No.
Oh, and their account is popping off on social.
That's right.
T-Dog Media's got it going.
Yeah, who's actually in the store working when you guys are off filming all your little
cute little videos?
We usually do it either before or after we close.
Sure.
Or open.
You know what I mean?
That's when the creative juices are flowing.
12 ounces at a time.
So before you close, it's during the day.
During the weekday.
Yeah.
Good point.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Oh, shit.
I erased my answer.
I thought we're done.
Can I write an answer?
Now that he's seen all the other answer.
Seth, carbon monoxide poisoning.
Oh, I got it wrong.
Cade, carbon monoxide, Randall,
hypothermia, Laura, hypothermia.
Reva, hypothermia.
Brody, carbon monoxide.
Poisoning. The correct answer is carbon monoxide poisoning, also known as the silent killer.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the greatest threats to ice anglers. It can happen when ice shelters
using propane heat don't have proper ventilation. Symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, and
confusion. The DNR asks that all ice anglers have a carbon monoxide detector and replace them
every five years. Question three, the topic is hunting. This next great question.
is via David Timmermand.
Science magazine uses this nine-letter word
to describe the shape of a duck's penis.
Science magazine uses this nine-letter word
to describe the shape of a duck's penis.
Cade quickly locked in his answer.
Nine letters.
Laura, do you have this one right?
I do, and I, yeah, I'm surprised I do, but I do.
She's amused by the shape that she wrote down.
Cade, you have this one right.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I just count wrong.
Cade was the first one.
I was a big poultry guy in a 4-H.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
What now?
I used to be a poultry guy too back in the day.
Junior grand champion show and shit.
Showing chickens?
That's right.
Roosters?
Nah, hens.
A lot more docile.
They get all riled up.
So there wasn't like a 4-H club cockfighting thing?
No.
No.
You got to go south for that.
Store boys.
that, though.
In the basement.
Yeah, the basement's where we hold on.
You hear saying you talk bites.
Science magazine uses this
nine-letter word to describe the shape
of a duck's penis.
Randall, do you have this one right?
No, I had two words, and neither of them were
nine letters.
Okay.
Seth, do you have this one?
I believe so.
All right.
I'm just waiting on me.
Tough start for perfect game, Randall.
I didn't say anything about perfect games today.
Today's not perfect.
Far from it.
Okay.
Oh, God.
The smell of onions and hot dog greases.
It's the light of fluid that's doing it to me.
It's the real silent killer.
Reba, do you have an answer?
No, I don't even have a guess.
Oh, okay.
No, nine-letter words that you think of.
I was trying to think of something funny to do,
and I can't even think of it's funny.
I think the correct answer is just funny enough on a funny cell.
You don't even have to do make-believe duck penis shapes.
Randall?
Whatever.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Set. Corkscrew.
Cade, corkscrew.
Randall, without an answer.
Laura, corkscrew.
Revo without an answer.
Brody, corkscrew.
The correct answer is corkscrew.
97% of bird species lack a penis and instead rely on the cloaca kiss.
Ducks, geese, and swans are part of the 3% of birds.
that do have a penis.
This unique corkscrew shape is the result of a sexual arms race.
Females evolved to have a counterclockwise spiral vagina that prevents unwanted fertilization,
and males have countered with the shape that fits it.
We are looking at one of these corkscrew weaners in the room right now.
That is from an Argentine Lake Duck.
It holds the Guinness World Record for the longest bird penis measured 17 inches long.
Good for him.
Hell of a video daily double there, Spencer.
Yeah, that's why Cade says hung like a bird.
Question four, the topic is gear.
So glad my mom.
This brand, which was created in 1932, used to advertise that they test every lighter by holding it in front of a fan.
Randall, Cade, Seth, all quick to answer, this brand, which was created in 1932, used to advertise that they test every lighter by holding it in front of a fan.
Laura, do you have this one right?
I'm not sure.
Okay.
I don't know.
Sepery, are you perfect?
Of course he is, Randall.
Wow.
This question for,
Brody feels like he knows it,
but he just can't find it.
Oh, we can turn him over.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
Today's been a disaster for everybody.
Why?
I just...
Stink.
It's the scent of onions is very...
It's lighter food, this is what's getting me.
What's the combination?
Deadly.
Listeners from last week's episode of trivia
will remember the same phenomenon.
It's still lingering in the office.
A whole week later.
Last week's odor is the same as this week's odor.
This is just our Thursday meat eater.
This brand, which was created in 1932.
Used to advertise that they test every lighter by holding it in front of a fan.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Seth, Zippo, Cade, Zippo, Randall, Zippo.
The whole room says Zippo.
The whole room got it right, the correct answer.
Does anybody know any other lighter brand?
Bick.
Okay, that's it.
What do you light your smokes with, Laura?
What do you light your smokes with?
Big lighter.
Bick lighter.
Way to put her on blast, Spencer.
She put it on Instagram that she had American spirit.
Both cigarettes don't count neither to truck cigarettes.
That's a good, good way to look at it.
Don't smoke, kids.
The inventor got the idea for Zippo while watching a man struggle to light his cigarette at a Pennsylvania country club.
The company gained popularity after outfitting the military with windproof lighters during World War II.
In 2020, Zippo announced that they sold their 600 millionth lighter.
That is a crazy.
Yeah, they're in Pennsylvania, right?
They are in Pennsylvania.
Where at?
What's town?
I don't remember the town.
Is there a Bradford?
Am I thinking of that?
Bradford's right.
North Central.
Am I thinking of that right?
Yeah, yeah.
You're right.
That's where Case knife.
Yeah, I was going to say that's from Casey.
Yeah.
And Meadville is Channel locks.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Tip a lighter.
Question.
I can go on.
Hell of the state you got there, boys.
Let's keep, let's keep rolling.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
That makes sense.
We did.
I had a hell of a hell of a trivia question.
Question five, the topic is cooking.
Sam Will says they eat a lot of venison stew at Castle Black in a 2013 episode of this TV show.
Didn't get me on this one, Spencer.
This is one that I thought had potential to upset our defending weekly champion.
Samwell says they eat a lot of venison stew at Castle Black.
He had a good story about this.
In a 2013 episode of this TV show.
Do you remember, Phil?
I think you were involved.
I have no idea.
Samwell.
Samwell.
Randall, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Okay.
Is it what I'm thinking of?
I don't know what you're thinking of.
I mean, I think you know what I'm thinking.
But Brody and Randall seem to like their answers.
Reva, do you have this one right?
There's a chance.
Okay.
I usually do.
Samwell says they eat a lot of venison stew at Castle Black.
in a 2013 episode of this TV show.
You almost got me.
I thought it was Sam Wise.
What would be the answer if I said Sam Wise?
Well, he talks about eating rabbits stew.
GMG?
Yeah.
Potatoes?
You're right.
Does he talk about rabbits?
Coenies.
I don't know what show we're talking about now.
It's not a show.
I don't know.
Is it the answer?
Too many hands.
Too many hands.
It's not a show.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Got carried away there.
This may ruin Seth's perfect game.
It's a disaster.
Yep.
No, Seth, you got it, man.
I don't.
Cade, can you write down a 2013 TV show?
Do you think I've watched this before?
No, I don't think you have.
Probably not.
You're probably aware of it.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answer.
Seth, without an answer,
Cade says Parks and Rec.
Randall, Game of Thrones.
Laura, diners, drive-ins, and dives.
Riva, Game of Thrones.
Brody, Game of Thrones.
They got it.
The correct answer is Game of Thrones.
We're here in Castle Black.
We're going to try three-fingered Hobbs, Venison stew.
We had, at the end, when the show is near its end, maybe Phil.
Oh, I remember this.
We had like a bracket for who would survive and who wouldn't.
It was organized by Annie.
And she had.
passed out a big spreadsheet.
You had to predict who would become king,
who would live, who would die,
who would turn into a whitewalk.
Yours true.
Who would kill the...
Oh, you won that?
Good for you, bro.
Would you win?
Just getting this correct question.
As often as the TV show
features Wild Game, the book series
does it even more. Just in the first book
alone, characters dine on
almond-crusted trout, roasted boar,
stewed rabbit, snake sauce,
pigeon pie, honeyed venison,
and buttered quail.
And when King Robert Brathian is killed by a boar while hunting,
they serve the pig at his funeral feast.
Bill, we're halfway through the game of trivia.
Give us a scoreboard update.
I always watched it.
Or gun watch it, I've watched it.
13 years ago.
It's kind of a tight game.
Everyone's doing pretty well.
Laura, Kate, and Randall all have three points.
Oh, Riva.
Sorry, I missed you.
You've got two.
Hey, that's still well.
I usually start from the bottom.
I'm doing your favor here.
Seth's got four
and with a perfect game
Yes that's correct
It's Brody Henderson
Okay
If I don't hear any clapping
We're gonna need that
We're gonna need that next scoreboard update
We just expected at this point
Either done as Guy Fierry
Or a Game of Thrones character
Of your shoes
That guy Fierry guy man
He's not a hunter
Spencer tried to tell people
He's a hunter
He loves it
I was getting pictures sent to me
Of him by camouflage

Question six, the topic is hunting.
This next great question is via Dylan Lentz.
Maybe you should have him on the podcast.
We should have him on radio a lot.
Friend of the show.
Okay.
Photographer.
He shoots stuff for us.
Oh, we're talking about Guy Fietti.
That's Dylan.
The blank whalen has been referred to as, quote, the poor man's magnum.
Oh.
The blank whalen has been referred to as the poor man's magnum.
Brody uncapped his marker there with his mouth.
I'll hold on to this one.
No concern about Hanta virus catching him.
Yeah, we're not on a cruise ship.
Although we are trapped in this studio with Randall's hot dog and lighter fluid stent.
Which one's worst?
The blank whalen, that's W-H-E-L-E-N, has been referred to as the poor man's magnanimous.
Oh, I always wanted one of these things, man.
Randall, have you ever owned one?
No, but my buddy who collects, my buddy for a while was on a real big heater with collecting only cartridges of this.
Oh, he just gave away it.
Well, okay.
Hmm.
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, you did.
What I say?
Yeah.
I don't think you said anything.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Yeah.
The Blake Whalen has been referred to as the poor man.
It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal.
The lighter food is getting to all of us at this point.
I don't think the cartridge thing is going to make a difference here.
Is that going to help Seth get it right?
I know it's a cartridge.
He doesn't know my body either.
Maybe Reba does.
Dude, I have dad poisoning right now.
Lack of sleep poisoning.
Bad brain.
Blame it on the baby.
If I knew any names of cartridges, that might be a hint.
The blank whalen.
referred to as the poor man's magnum.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Seth, without an answer,
Cade and Randall say 35.
Laura, without an answer,
Reva says slug.
Brody says 35.
The correct answer is the 35 Whalen.
The 35 Whalen is a powerful medium bore cartridge
that is basically a necked-up 30-odd-6.
Townsend Whalen and James Ho created it in 1922,
and Remington standardized it in 1988,
the cartridge has a modest following
with 35 whalen fans
touting its Magnum-level performance
from a standard-length action.
I watched a dude level
a giant Black Bear in Colorado
with one of those things.
I just crushed it.
Has this ever been on your radar, Randall,
is it gun to own?
You ever been close to purchasing?
Well, like, I mean, for a while,
my buddy and I were just on this,
we had this program where I was doing
all 30 cow things and he was doing all 35 cow things.
Wow. So like 350 REM mag 35
Ramington, Wailing, all this stuff. And so
I've never dipped my toe into the 35 calibers.
We've always sort of had a divide and conquer approach to bore
diameters. And you never infringed on the other's territory.
No, well, we've kind of crossed streams here.
The 338 is, he's got a 338 now.
It's fine.
we get a long gray
35 whalen the poor man's magna
Question seven
The topic is conservation
In 2015
A change dot org petition titled
Kill the Blank
criticized Kyrig for their production
of these single-use coffee pods
Randall has his answer already
Riva now joining him
Our other four players
Look stumped
Riva do you have this one right
No
No.
But maybe.
Wait a minute.
What's the category here?
Conservation.
Okay.
In 2015, a change.org petition titled Kill the Blank, criticized Kierig for their production
of these single-use coffee pots.
I can't remember what the things are called.
Any Kierig owners in the room?
No, I would be if it wasn't for all the hubbub about them.
I hate them things.
Okay.
For this reason, because they make all this,
single-use plastic.
How far ahead am I?
That and like hot
hot liquids through plastic.
Yeah, you're doing pretty well,
you're two points ahead currently.
Okay, I don't know if I get this one right.
In 2015, a change.
org petition titled
Kill the Blank criticized Kierig
for their production of these
single-use coffee pods.
Brody thinks it's in there
somewhere. Oh, it's in there.
Leave it likes her answer. Nice.
Seth, you get it?
No.
Really?
Do you have it?
No, I have the answer.
I don't have a curig.
Well, that's what I was asking.
I feel like these are falling out of fashion.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's...
There's one up on the third floor.
Yeah.
I thought we had one in this office.
Yeah.
Where?
Conference room.
Throw it out.
In the third floor.
Kill the curag.
If it was conservation, they wouldn't be in this office.
You have to go to an Airbnb, I feel like, to find it.
That's the exact place that you used.
See a Keerig.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Seth says Pod.
Cade says convenience.
Randall says K-Cup.
Laura says Cup Reva.
Cup Brody without an answer.
The correct answer is K-Cup.
Randall.
Got that one right.
You own a K-Reg.
No.
Like I said, I wanted one, but can do a good conscience.
It actually said K-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-.
Kill the K-C-C-C-C-C-C-t.
That was the.
The title.
But kill the cup.
It's so much snappier.
Give it to her.
We're not going to give it to you.
I'm sorry.
The K-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-Upe.
That is Kearig's signature item.
K-Cups use one plastic pod for every cup of coffee they make.
Although Kier-Rig has claimed that they are 100% recyclable, the SEC declared in 2020
that this statement is misleading.
It's estimated that 25% of American homes have a single-use brewing machine,
and that the empty coffee pods created by those could
wrap around the earth 12 times.
Wow.
Question 8.
The topic is trapping.
This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Stephen Rizkowski for sending
this great question.
Stephen is going to get a $150 first like gift card.
If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to
trivia at the meat eater.com.
This five-letter word is defined as, quote, a dome-shaped home constructed by beavers from
sticks and mud.
Okay, and Seth and Randall, quick to answer.
This is question eight.
We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.
And Brody is struggling to find the right answer.
Randall thinks he has it, and that could.
No, I'm just wondering if I'm...
Even them up.
You don't know?
I'm just wondering if I'm underthinking it.
This five-letter word is defined as a dome-shaped home constructed by beavers from sticks and...
Don't over.
Now going to flash his answer.
Randall wrote down.
I don't think this was Stephen Rinella sending a question in under a different name.
Stephen Rizkowski.
He would have made it harder.
But initially it sounded suspicious.
Hmm.
What was his name, Riskowski?
Stephen Ryskowski, and he won the listener question.
I thought you were just reacting to a Polish name.
No, no, no.
No, no.
I didn't make the connection.
I didn't make the connection to a word.
our boss. I was just like...
My mom and my grandparents were Polish.
Everybody does that. He was like Rizkowski.
You're like, hmm, sounds suspicest.
I don't like your type.
No, it was trapping,
Stephen, re.
Yeah, I didn't make that connection.
I just,
I just thought you were being close-minded.
Five-letter word.
My dad used to make some horrible Polish jokes
to my mom. Yeah. A dome
shaped home constructed by beavers
from sticks and mud. Uh, the
Polish slur I heard said on ESPN.
I didn't say it.
Is this something you can't have to cut out, Spence?
No, I said the Polish.
You can't say slurs on the air, Spencer.
The Polish slur I heard dropped on ESPN one time, and I didn't know what it meant
because I was a little kid, and then they came back from commercial and they apologized
for saying that slur on the air.
What to start with?
We'll talk about it after the show.
I don't want to have to issue an apology next week.
Yeah, I grew up with a lot of Polish jokes.
A lot of Polish people.
Yeah, I grew up a lot of Polish people.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed right now.
And this is the question about beavers.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Seth says Lodge, Cade, Lodge, Randall, Lodge.
Laura, and Laura thought an answer.
Rivas says, hovel.
Havel.
Brody, Lodge.
The correct answer is Lodge.
A lodge is a beaver's shelter,
while a dam is the structure that creates their wetland.
beavers have two types of lodges,
conical and bank.
A conical lodge is the dome-shaped dwelling
that's often built in slow-moving water,
and a bank lodge is typically excavated
into the shoreline of fast-moving water.
Phil, two questions left.
Please give us a scoreboard update.
We're here in Bozeman, Montana,
where Reva Hanson currently has two points.
But you know what they say?
If you can't stand the heat,
stay out of the podcast studio.
Laura's cooking up her signature dish of three points.
Well, Seth and Cade,
are at each other's throat to the five.
Dr. Randall Williams is coming in with six,
and Brody Henderson,
are you surprised at seven points?
Wow, well done.
I ran out of a joke.
That was a great Samuel Talley.
Yeah.
Bill was all in one today.
I thought he was going Guy Fierre.
Yeah, no, I was making a joke.
He had too many K-Cups today, I think.
Randall, the person who made that joke on ESPN,
it was Matt Miller, the former GM of the Detroit Lions.
He's like the person.
perfect person to make an off-color
Polish show on ESPN airwaves during the NFL draft.
Question nine, the topic is woodsmanship.
This plant, which is named after a fur bearer's body part,
is known for its incredible ability to stick to clothes and dogs.
This plant, which is named after a fur bearer's body part,
is known for its incredible ability to stick to clothes and dogs.
The room is stumped.
Seth, do you have this one right?
No.
This plant, which is named after a fur bearer's body part,
is known for its incredible ability to stick to clothes and dogs.
Like an animal, like an animal that falls under the definition as a fur bearer or an animal that has fur?
This would be your traditional definition of a fur bearer.
If you said this animal is a fur bearer, nobody would disagree.
I'm on the same wave as you right now.
I'm coming for that fourth point right now.
Okay.
I think.
Hey, Laura.
Seth has now deleted his answer.
Seeing if you can figure out what that fur bearer's body part is.
It has a plant that's known for its incredible ability to stick to clothes and dogs.
Laura, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Okay.
I don't know.
Randall could get this right and Brody get it wrong.
we'd have them tied up going into question 10.
Boy, that would be exciting.
When was the last tie breaker?
The Wives episode, which was two episodes ago.
Not only did they have a tiebreaker, they had double overtime.
So they had two tie breaking rounds to settle the winner.
Do you go into like a trivia sudden death?
No, we just do another numerical question.
We just repeat the same thing.
And then Phil cues up his super secret sound that's made just for that occasion.
I think overtime should just come to arm wrestling at this point.
I think that'd be way more entertaining to the viewer.
If we did arm wrestling in this room, Cade, give me your odds.
I'm beating everyone. Seth, would you beat Seth?
No.
Randall, would you beat Randall?
How about Laura?
No, you would.
She's got that wild looking at eye.
I give it like a...
I have a big frame, but I'm actually very weak.
All right, Cade's going 0 for 5 in arm wrestling in here then.
Especially my upper body.
This plant, which is named after a fur bearer's body part,
is known for its incredible ability to stick to clothes and dogs.
Is everybody giving up?
No, no.
Okay.
I bet you dog owners.
You're familiar.
You got it.
Oh, yeah.
Katie, you have this one right?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
A friend of mine had a dog die from this.
Oh.
Yeah.
It can be that serious.
Randall, Brody, Seth
Nothing.
You boys done?
Sure.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Seth says Foxtail.
Cade, Foxtail.
Randall says Cat's Paw.
Laura, Foxtail, Reva,
Douglas Fur, Brody,
Foxtail.
The correct answer is Foxtail.
So the room did well after thinking
they didn't have it.
That's where I was at first.
I was like, body part.
Most foxtail grasses are in
But fox tail barley is native to North America.
These plants are widespread across the continent and have a tendency to take over fields.
Their barbed seeds make them hard to remove from fleece and fur and cause extra problems when dogs get them lodged in their eyes, ears, and glands.
What happened to your buddy's dog?
Did he get in his lungs?
No, so they were working cows in Nevada and her border collie got it up the nose and eventually worked its way all the way into her brain and killed the dog down.
That is awful.
Here's the correct answer review so far.
One was Jim Bridger.
Two, carbon monoxide poisoning.
Three, corkscrew penis.
Four, Zippo.
Five, Game of Thrones.
Six.
35.
Waylon.
Seven.
Kill the K-cup.
Eight.
Lodge.
Nine.
Foxtail.
Phil.
Scoreboard update.
Uh, well, just like last week, Brody has it.
Uh, locked down.
Has it been a week already?
Feels like it.
He's got eight points.
I wish I'd showered.
Behind Brody, though, are Randall, Kate, and Seth, who are all tied up with six.
Kate has set a new storeboy record, maybe.
By Randall, you have the same shirt on you.
Kate got like eight.
Oh, that's right.
Well, Alex actually got nine one time in here.
Damn.
I know.
And you didn't win?
On a Jabotis episode?
No, I think it was, he went to overtime, actually, with nine points and lost.
Straight up.
Wow.
You can be the most recent storeboard champion because John only got four last week.
That's right.
Here's question 10.
The topic is fishing.
name one of the two states that border Toledo Bend Reservoir.
Our six players do not seem to know where that is.
Name one of the two states that border Toledo Bend Reservoir.
Seth, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Brody, do you have this one right?
No, but this state has a lot of reservoirs.
Okay.
And I recognize it for the same reason.
Seth probably does.
in one of the two states that border
to the Basmaster.
That's right.
They're on Lake Murray today.
Day one of the Derb.
Okay.
It does occur as though you know this one then, Seth,
because I think the Toledo Bend Reservoir
then had the Elite Series,
what was it, last year,
a year before?
It was here recently.
Yeah.
You guys are going to make me change my answer.
They have them there quite often.
Based on nothing.
Laura?
Good.
Right down a state.
No?
No.
Is everybody ready then?
Just guess where Toledo is.
Toledo Bend Reservoir.
That's a good guess.
Go ahead and reveal your answer.
Seth, Texas, Cade, Ohio,
Randall, Tennessee,
Laura, New Mexico,
Riva, Ohio, Brody, Texas.
The two states are Texas and Louisiana.
So we had a Brody and,
Seth, get that one right.
Toledo Bend is the 23rd biggest lake in America, the second biggest lake in Louisiana,
and the biggest lake in Texas.
It is formed by a dam on the Sabine River.
Toledo Bend is known for its trophy, largemouth bass, and numerous croppy and catfish.
That makes Brody our winner this week with nine correct answers.
That's two weeks in a row.
Brody, what are you going to do with that $500 donation?
I got a request, and it's probably a good one.
one for the summer we've got coming up
Wildland Firefighter Foundation.
Wildland.
Nice. Firefighter Foundation.
$500 going their way via Brody and Meteor.
If only he knew the K-K cup
would be $1,000.
But I guess Brody just doesn't know
conservation that one.
No.
