comes from dan cunningham he says have you heard the new Luke Bryan's song about hunting. Do you think it dethrones his other song as the worst hunting song of all time? Yes. If you're not a long time listener of the show, back in 2022, I had a trivia question about Luke Bryan's song from 2009 called Drinking Beer and Waste and Bullets. And on that episode, I declared it to be the worst hunting song ever made. I don't think I know that one.

I'll read you some of the lyrics in a second here. But a couple weeks ago, Luke Bryan came out with a new song that is taking the internet and the outdoor community by Storm. Are you guys familiar? Have you heard it? No. There's a lot of speculation that it's all just AI written. Okay. We'll get to that as well. The title of the song, you guys are going to love this. It's Fish, Hunt, Golf, Drink.

And for copyright reasons, I can't play it for you, but we have the next best thing. Nice. And that is karaoke champion legend king, Phil Tabor. is going to do a performance. I've got to get my phone out for this. Take it away, Phil. I've got to put both headphones on it again. Five, six, seven, eight.

If it wasn't for the tax man, wasn't for the bills. If it wasn't for the traffic in my windshield. Woo. If it wasn't always somewhere to be. Yeah. And my life was really up to me. Stop those shit kickers, Phil. If I could have it my own way, you know,

let me tell you how every day you would go. Wake up, coffee, camo, climb tree, 18 fish, hut, golf drink. A fall spring, I'll suffer long, I'll be living it up and living it on a country, boys dream fish, a golf drink. Woo! Nice work, Phil.

I especially like the look on Phil's face while he was. singing, man. That was special. Solid. Phil, do you, does it feel like you just had a drink? Well, the fact, slightly diminished intellectually by that.

For a peek behind the curtain, Spencer, slacked me this about an hour ago, and I said, yeah, I'll, don't worry, trivia's not for two hours. I'll get to it when I get to it. And then I got a text from Randall, 15 minutes after trivia was supposed to start saying, Phil, where are you? It's time to record trivia.

And so I raced down here, listened to the song twice, and then did that. I'm so sorry. That is how deep the pool of talent is. That's great. I'm Phil Taylor. He just needed 15 minutes to come up with that. It's incredible.

If I could do that once in my life, I would consider myself a winner. I love how much you think that I just have a deep well of talent that doesn't exist. But I'm going to keep, uh, keep milking that. Does anybody disagree? No. I'll tell you what. It doesn't say much for what's his name? Luke Bryan.

For his well of talent. I want to know. I don't know anything about Luke Bryan. I've never like, chosen to listen to Luke Brian. Okay. Is anybody in this room like Luke Bryant? In college, I went to multiple Luke Bryan concerts.

Oh, yeah. He was a big supporter. But, like, you know, he makes music for a college kid who likes to drink and Haunting golf and drink. That was you. Yeah. Does he also have the song about getting upwind of a buck? Well, okay.

So the song that we are going to be comparing that to is drinking beer and waste and bullets, again, from 2009. In that song, he talks about how he just drank a 12-pack, and he's waiting on a deer, and he's, you know, just wasting bullets, and he's shooting 100-grain 30-odd-6, which does not exist anywhere in the world. So he must have, he's actually such a pure outdoorsman that he hand-loaded his hundred-grain, 30-odd-6 bullets. What is the smallest 30-cow you can get? At least 125. I think 1-25 grain for a 30-odd-6. In factory or just a bullet? Just a bullet. I bet there's lighter now.

One-tens, I think I've seen. Phil, can we get on that? No. So as Max pointed out, folks have accused Luke Bryan of using AI to write that song. Well, I took that and I fed it to an AI detector, which is the same thing like a college professor would use to see what it would say. It told me that those lyrics are zero percent AI. So AI is not even capable of coming up with something like that. That is all human skill there.

Luke is getting bullied on the internet quite a bit. about this and he has responded on Instagram. Here are some of his clapbacks, as Max calls it. Here's what he says, well, I'm learning that no one wants to have fun anymore. I choose to have a damn blast. Either come

along or go be blah. Here was another comment that he was replying to someone who is critical. He says, who are you? Chill on the Adderall. And then one more comment. It's called the fun song. Just listen and have fun. Go get on a boat. Quit scrolling on your phone all

day. So that is what Luke that's good advice. Go get on a boat. Except his livelihood depends on people scrolling on a phone. Yeah, as the host of American Idol, where he performed this song, I think last week as well. Chill out on the Adderall?

Chill out on the Adderall. That's a good podcast. That was some good feedback from him. I am not going to say this is worse, though, than the drinking beer, waste, and bullet song from 2009. You'll have to go find that on YouTube and compare it to Phil's rendition. Doesn't he have a song called...

Why did he have to put the golf on the air? I hate that we're starting up so negative this episode. Because it's a country boy's dream, Rody. Doesn't he have a song called like hunting, fishing, loving every day? He does have that. Yes. If you were to do a top five worst hunting and fishing songs of all time,

he might just make a clean sweep. Who sings a song about tics? That's rough. Brad Paisley has a song about checking for ticks. That's a good one. Getting mud on the tires. Yeah. Yep.

All of these songs would sound like Bo Burnham, he's a comedian who does music. He did a country satirical song that somehow sounded just like all of these real country songs. That's how accurate it was. Phil, you a big Bo Burnham fan, right? Oh, yeah. I love Bo Burnham. I thought inside was incredible. That was his COVID project. Very good stuff. All right. No stats are housekeeping on this episode. The Shelby Index for today is a four. So our winners should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. I need to know what I stand to win.

I'm going. I'm going to drink of beer. I'm saying. Just tend to win everything. Question one. The topic is wildlife. And as always, this will be multiple choice. According to Texas A&M University, which of these animals is fastest?

Is it a squirrel, moose, jackrabbit, or bison? Hold on. I got a lot of issues with that. Okay. You want specific. species like, is it a over what interval? Just the fastest

top speed that they can achieve. Okay, okay. According to Texas A&M, which of these animals is Spencer? No, we're now looking at me. Is it a squirrel, a moose, a jackrabbit, or a bison?

Which of those four animals is the fastest? Later on in the bridge of that song of Luke Bryan's new fish hunt golf drink, He says, a little chip, sip, rip a couple lips. Which food plot am I going to sit? That's good wisdom.

Oh, he means chip like a golf swim. Yes. I was thinking like a Dorito. Yeah. That works too. Chip dip. Uh-huh. Chewing my lip.

You got it. You just came up with another, uh, the hidden bridge. Yeah. According to Texas A&M, which of these animals is fastest? I don't think this one's that hard. In a hymnal. Jack rabbit. My lyrics.

We better hope you go, right? Yanni is confident. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maxwell says Bison. Alex, bison, Randall, Jackrabbit,

Nate, Moose, Janis, Jackrabbit, Brody, Moose. Oh, really? The correct answer is Jackrabbits. I think we had Randall and Yanni get that. one right.

Go with what you know. According to Texas A&M, the top speed of a jackrabbit is 45 miles per hour. Oh my goodness. That's followed by a moose at 40 miles per hour, bison at 35 miles per hour, and squirrel at 12 miles per hour. The fastest a human has ever ran is Usain Bolt at 27.78. 45 miles an hour. Unreal.

45 jack rabbits. My bird dog ran a jack rabbit down one time over like three or 400 yards of gate. it a heart attack and it died. Damn. Fell over dead. The dog or the jackabbit? Jack rabbit. Question two.

Who is the dog this episode would be off to a really nice? Question two, the topic is fishing. This five-letter word is defined as, quote, the length of metal from the hook eye to the point where the hook begins to bend. Max and Randall.

Let me check and see if it's not. Already locked in their answer. Five-letter word. is defined as the length of metal. There's a word in there that you should remove from the hook eye. To the point where the hook begins to bend. I think I got this definition from Eagle Claw.

Oh, I'm great brand. That's why I was just going with a direct quote. Eagle Claw. Yeah. I fished a lot of those. Crappy rigs. Pre-made leaders. You know?

The Snelled hook. Yeah. Was it? I guess they were a snelled. Like for like bait fishing? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why. Like they were like, I would find them like in my grandpa's stag.

It's a classic of the mustache. Yeah. Yeah. Tackle boxes love packs of snow. Yeah. But I don't even know what they were actually for. I mean, I would just like fish like a worm break under a bobber. Yeah.

They're for the best thing in the world. Like what advantage does that give you versus just tying your hook onto the line? Quick rigging. Yeah. Wouldn't you put it on a swivel? Like that little. attach and you just leave the swivel on there. Yeah, maybe that was it.

Yanni has been so distracted, he has a blank whiteboard. Yeah. I still have some of those snelled hook. Like, I have some right now for sure. Five letter word is defined as the length of metal from the hook eye to the point where the hook begins to be. You know what a crappy rig is? It's like heavy mono and then it's got two like wire arms. You can just loop those sneld hooks onto those things.

We use them for perch. Is everybody ready? Just want to do that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, Yanni. Maximus says, Shank. Alex without an answer. Randall, Shank.

Nate. Shank. Complete guess. Yannis. Shank. Brody. Shank. The correct answer is Shank.

The shank is basically the straight part of the hook on a standard J-hook. Shank configurations vary by style, including forged and unforged options, different lengths, unique shapes. And in some cases, is barbs that hold bait and Phil has a diagram for us. Oh, we don't need Phil's. Showing you the anatomy of a hook. And there you can see what the shank refers to.

Brody was the wording that you would change. Oh, it said it was like it had the word point in there, which like, initially confused me. I see. We are on to question three. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ethan Zonbrecker. Ducks Unlimited says it's.

Thanks to this grain that Stuttgart, Arkansas is the quote, duck capital of the world. Weak, weak, wink, wink, wink. Oh, very good. What is it called? Guess what? What? You're a duck dad. The hen house produced eight ducks, eight ducklings.

Wow. They're out there now? No kidding. They're just swimming around in our pond? Just little fuzzballs, yep. How much did you know leading up to that that you were going to have chicks this year? Well, I did see her try to like hop. into the hen house, but she kept on hopping up top.

And then later that day, I think Steve texted me. And he's like, hey, hen is in the house. Wow. And then, like, I kept on looking back. And it was probably over like a two, three week period. She was in there on her nest. And then I was texting Nate the whole time when I was gone. I was like, well, it's the duck report, duck report.

And then, yeah, they probably just hashed within the last five days. Okay. Are you going to grab one of them and practice diaper changing? You could raise it alongside your child. Are you more of a father figure, Max, or the landlord, being that you built the duck nest? I'm a more of a father figure. Well, no, I didn't. No.

More the landlord. It's sort of an absentee. They're like your trust fund babies. Ducks unlimited. Hope a raccoon doesn't get them. No, I think that time has passed. D.U. It says it's thanks to this grain that Stuttgart or is it's Stuttgart.

Stuttgart, Arkansas. is the duck capital of the world. Maxwell flashing his answer. This is one that I think Max knows. I don't know this one. I don't know either. Everybody ready. D.U.

says it's thanks to this grain that Stuttgart Arkansas is the duck capital of the world. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says rice, Alex, Barley, Randall, Millet, Nate, Rice, Yanni, Rice, Brody,

Rice. The correct answer is Rice. Two for two on guests. Many ducks, including the majority of North America's pintails, rely on rice fields for wintering habitat. Birds love these flooded fields because they mimic natural wetland and offer an easily accessible source of high energy food. It's estimated that more than half of the country's acres of rice are located in Arkansas with another 20% in neighboring states. Goodness gracious, that's a lot of rice. Half of the rice comes from Arkansas.

No, I feel dumb. 20% in the neighboring states. I think it's like 20% in California, so it's only a handful of places. Yeah, I was going to say California is another rice heavy state. And they also have a lot of good duck hunting. Have you hunted around the duck capital of the world as well? Yes.

Well, I not physically hunted, but I've filmed. Okay. Were you guys hunting over flooded rice fields? A couple times we did, did flooded timber. Yeah, only a couple times of flooded rice. Yeah, you almost drowned in a can-am bridge. Oh, yeah. That was so sketchy.

Did it live up to the hype of being the duck capital of the world? Yeah, no. I mean, it's just a cool area, a lot of history. Is it yeah or no? Yes. He's a North Dakota. That's what they do. It's just, yeah, no.

You don't want to be told you. The town just lives up to the hype, and it's, if you're a duck hunter, I would definitely recommend. It's just a cool place. There's a lot of things to do, and yeah, a lot of waterfall down there. God, I love Max. From the duck landlord, Maxwell. Question four.

He just loves what he loves. Duck landlord. The topic is natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was, won by Andrew Green. You're sending this great question. Andrew is going to get a $150 first-light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week,

and send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com. This extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time, which is named after its compact muzzle. Say there are some mean sons of gardens. This extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time, which is named after its compact. compact muzzle. I feel like you made this.

Too many. Easy. Too much context. Too much context. You're going to make Alex feel bad. But I feel like if you knew it, you would have got it with half the question. If you don't know it, you don't know. That's from screen.

Are you doing some painting at home? Grout tile. Tile work. Ooh, what are we tiling? Bathroom. Bedroom. You don't look like your normal dressed up kind of put together self today. You look kind of like a...

It's because I've been tiling. starting at like 8 p.m. What a combo. Nate's wife is a woodworker and Nate is a tile man. Yep. Got it all coming. You guys are cramming before the baby comes in. Yes, sir.

Seamster. Last room. A seamster. A seamster. A seamster. A sower. Aspiring. When do you find time to make brownies to give to landowners? Sunday afternoons. I heard you bribe landowners with brownies.

Brive is a strong word. Encourage. Dude, I just dropped off a bunch of peanut butter pie. those dude those get I had a landowner requested I was asking for because yeah I have white tail permission You have a menu?

Yeah Yeah like when you order girls Yeah dude exactly I have whitetail permission And I went and asked for turkey permission And he's like Yeah you can go to hunt turkeys You think you can bring by one of them peanut butter pies

I was like yes sir Good for you Nate Yeah man Well he's flipping the script They're coming to him I'm being like hey I got this new property 500 acres

I see a big buck. You know, if you brought me one of those five. That's the way to do it. Question four, this extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time, which is named after its compact muzzle. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, my goodness. Maxwell says, short snout bear.

Alex, without an answer, Randall, short-faced bear. Nate, short-faced bear. Yanni, short-faced. Brody, short-faced. The correct answer is short-faced. I'm sorry half point Phil No no point

No such thing Phil you doing all right It's been there for weeks Spencer asked a lot of you With the outset of this episode Well I'm just worked up about being so late I'm so sorry The short face bear went extinct

About 10,000 years ago During the last Ice Age Its death was primarily driven by climate change The loss of large prey In the increased competition With other predators There were a handful of species and subspecies with a range

that stretches from Alaska to Patagonia. The biggest of them could stand 12 feet tall and weigh 2,000 pounds, which is 500 pounds heavier than a polar bear. Phil has a diagram for us. Comparing the short-faced bear to a grizzly and a polar bear and they make a brown bear

look small. Look at the quads on that sucker. They always depict these things being like on steroids. We reached me and my boys recently watched one of those like documentary, like It's all CGI's, you know, but it's like, they did some short-faced bear stuff. Holy cow.

It was good, but like, those things were mean, man. Scary. So mean. That was a good guess. Yeah, it was. Based on context clues, but you don't get that point. Question five, the topic is conservation. The Conservation Law Foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number before planting a tree.

What? I think I got it. Dude, I know. The Conservation Law Foundation. No, I'm changing it. I know. I'm in the same boat. I know.

I'm in the same boat. I think I got it. I think I got it. For planting a tree. So we're looking for what that phone number is. It's like you got to, you want the area code or then the next five digits or? I don't know.

There is one right answer and that's all. Yeah. The Conservation Law Foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number. Not a big yard work guy over there. No, were you talking to Randolph? Yanni, do you have this one right? I have an answer written down that came into mine

when I thought about it for a few seconds. Nate, do you have this one right? 50-50. It's one or the other. I hit, I've been digging a whole bunch recently. Another project. Have you been calling before you dig? No. It should be.

If I was, I'd probably know this number. I did have to call them recently, and they came out, and they marked some lines. That's cool. Now I'm good to go. Dicking all kinds of holes. The Conservation Law Foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number for planting a tree. We planted a couple pears and a couple apples and maybe a chestnut in Wisconsin. I just found out that Spencer's fixing to be a fruit farmer.

I'm starting an orchard at my place. I'm now up to 60 trees and shrubs that produce fruit. Really? 60. 60. It's all I've done this spring. That's awesome. What's your most, fruit you're most excited about?

Most excited about probably my peach because I can actually see peaches coming already right now. But they also are not super tolerant of bad winters. Like this past winter you could get a coconut or pineapple to live through what we had here in the valley. but the peach trees. They're like a fringe zone four fruit. So we'll see how it does. I thought it took a couple years start getting fruit.

How'd you get around that? It varies. There's like some things three years, other ones six years, and you just never really know. How big was it? We're the trees. We're going to move on in just a second,

but I did everything from bear root, you know, which is like knee high, up to things that are probably like eight feet tall. So it's just a variety. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus says 411. Alex without an answer

Randall says 7-1-1 Nate 8-1-1 Yanni 4-1-1 Brody 1-800-dig-safe We have a correct answer in the room Come on, Yadi It's 8-1-1-1 No!

Let's go, dude I was so confident in that 4-1-1-1 was like What is that? What's road conditions? 5-1-1-5-1-5-1-1-4-1 like a directory or something like that? In 2005, the FCC made 811 the universal phone number for regional services

that locate underground public utilities. It's estimated that there are 20 million miles of buried utilities in the United States with repairs exceeding $30 billion annually. On average, an underground utility is damaged every six minutes due to a failure to contact 811. Dang.

Every six minutes. Four and one. is a word that's in like the, it's like a slang word in like the lexicon that means like, give me the scoop, give me the, what's the 4-1? I don't know where it comes from. Gosh, 8-1-1. Phil, halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. Oh, yeah.

At halftime, Alex has zero points. Not even an answer. Max has two points. Randall and Brody have three points, and in first place are Nate and Janus with four points. So anybody's game. It's 10, 10, 220. Remember those calling services? It's like a calling.

I never really understood what that was. Wasn't that the one that you, that wasn't that the way to like call back? Maybe. Maybe. I thought that was like star 69. Oh, yeah. And star 67 was to be unanimous or to be unanimous. Yeah.

Frank calls. Man, landline days. Yeah. Do you just look up 10, 10, 220 and then we get to the eight question. Next scoreboard update. Yeah, that's, that's my time to shine. Thanks, bud. I'm Luke Wilson.

is hunting. This next great question is via Alex Miller. Hall of Fame outfielder Ted Williams, who married his hunting guide's daughter, played his entire career for this team. Okay. Hall of Fame outfielder, Ted Williams,

who married his hunting guide's daughter, played his entire career for this team. It's got to be somewhere this. Why do you know this? my well I think I know it it would just be my knowledge of Ted Williams and who he is is it because he was on your hometown team no dang it

oh okay there's a hint that would have been a tough eliminated one maybe no 30 teams now it's what only yeah there do you go I mean he he predated my love of baseball my love of baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams who married his hunting god's daughter played his entire career for this team.

Was he right, center, or left? He was a left fielder, I believe. Okay, I'm changing my answer. 10-10-220 was something you could dial to get around long-distance race. That's right. Thank you, Phil. It's weird that they would give you these little hacks. Like, here's how you be anonymous.

Here's how you get around long-distance. I think it's sort of like a VPN these days. Like, it's legal, but they don't want you. Well, no, they had, there were other variations on it, and they would run endless television commercials. If you didn't grow up in the golden age of landlines Late 90s landlines And phones today were so boring

Except for the internet and the apps I feel like I have just been getting Beat over the head with 811 commercials lately Just because I'm digging holes And obviously Googling a lot But I assume you guys Like get some 811 commercials as well I said hummingbird feeder out loud

The other day for the first time And probably 15 years And I immediately got an Instagram ad for a hummingbird Good for you Is everybody ready to tell me who Ted Williams played for? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maxwell says Colorado Rockies. Alex says Red Sox.

Randall, Red Sox. Nate, Yankees. Yanni, Yankees, Brody, Yankees. The correct answer is the Boston Red Sox. The Sox, baby. Alex and Randall. Alex is one for one day. Yeah, technically I am.

It's the first one I actually had an answer to. Ted Williams was named the fifth greatest baseball player of all time by ESPN in 2022. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966 in the International Gamefish Association Hall of Fame in 2000. The first of his three wives was the daughter of his Minnesota hunting guide. They had a daughter of their own in 1948, and Williams missed her birth because he was fishing for Snook in Florida. He then waited five days before flying to Minnesota to meet his newborn, then got back. on a plane less than a week after that to return to Florida, he told reporters, quote, this place is too cold for me. And besides, the fishing is great. They got divorced six years later.

Six years. Six years than I expected. It was harder to get divorced back then. And Phil is now showing us a photo of Ted Williams with a large billfish. We should write more things on animals that we harvest. It's so tasteful. Well, that's a good one. That's a big blue marlin, man. And Ted Williams had his own line of shotguns, rifles, fishing rods that were sold at Sears back in the day. We are now on to question seven. Sox. The topic is fishing. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic.

The room is stumped. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Brody was locked. in his answer. Some kind of an outdoor brand, I imagine. Just going to tell you the topic is fishing. Oh, no. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960,

and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. We're going to have a tight game here. I feel like there's some... I got a question. I feel like there's some... Okay. I'm ready for Max. Remember that fun fact I told you about which athlete follows the media or your Instagram?

Yes. We have to have that question. Oh, I don't know if that'll go over real well. No, probably not. Based on the Ted William's success in the room, two of our six players, knowing who he played for. What current Stanley Cup contender? Nathan McKinnon follows media on Instagram,

and that just tickles Maxwell, even though he plays for... Oh, how are you doing? They still doing? How are they doing? I will leave. Oh. No, they lost the abs. which Spencer's a

I hate the I hate the abs Why do you hate the abs? Because I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan Late 90s man That was a heated rival Oh that was good times Heeded rivalry

In hockey I know what Brokees's been watching lately This Wisconsin brand Was founded in 1960 And is named after Indigenous peoples of the Arctic Is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers

Maximus says Eskimo. Alex says Mincota. Randall, Eskimo, Nate Eskimo, Yanni Eskimo, Brody Eskimo. The correct answer is Eskimo. Dude. Eskimo primarily sells ice fishing gear with their first product being an auger that was powered by a car battery. The Eskimo name is an umbrella term that generally refers to two groups of people, the Inuit of Canada, Greenland, and Northern Alaska, and the Yupik of Siberia and Western Alaska.

I got a great big Eskimo ice fishing tent. I'm looking to sell. Oh, you see those are becoming real popular for hunters who are doing car camping in the fall. I think I might have retired from ice fishing after this last winter. There's no ice fishing retired from you. That's what it did.

It's okay. Question eight, the topic is conservation. This shark is the man behind the proposed $100 billion Utah Data Center. Shark is in quotation marks. This shark is the man behind the proposed $100 billion Utah data center. We talked about this yesterday, didn't we? I can't remember the guy's name, though.

Max just come up with a San Jose shark. No. No. I know what shark means in this question. Did anyone here see Marty Supreme? Oh, Phil. No, that is a... Bill.

You know that's not a clue for anyone. Not for anyone in this room. Do you see Shalmay's shaped his mustache? Everybody's always like, well, nobody in this room. Crazy. Like, when a hint is given, it's not just about the people in this room. It's about all the fans. It's the audience.

That's so kind of you. You know, I never think of the fans. That's a good perspective. You never think about the fans. This shark is the man behind the proposed $100 billion Utah You need a first and last name? Last name would be good enough.

I'm okay with doing jeopardy rules in that case. If you just give me the last name, we'll accept that. Now I'm thinking about Phil's... Unless, of course, it was going to be like one of the Kennedys that would not fly. There's a lot of different kinds of Kennedys out there. This shark is the man behind the proposed $100 billion in Utah data center. Yanni is stumped. Even after Phil's hint.

Uh, yeah, and furious erasing for Max. I got one of them. It's okay, Max. Have you seen that movie,

Phil? Yeah. Okay, you gave us a review. And I thought this guy who seems like, you know, I'm not going to call him any names.

A boner. But he was great in Party Supreme. Well, yeah. I mean, he just played himself, right? He's really good.

Oh. Yes. No, five, four, three. I got a question. Now Alex is going to win

the damn game. What's all? Alex. Does a nickname count? You don't want Alex for you. If you give us the nickname, we'll accept that. I don't think I know this. It's not because I like you.

It's not because you're a nice guy. It's because we respect the troops around here. And Memorial Day is coming up. I am losing this game no matter what. If you give us the nickname, that's probably even harder to come up with than his actual name. Anytime. And thanks, Brody, for, uh, Keeping the wheels turning.

Randall, do you have this one? No, I'm not going to change. I, like, have my answer, but I'm like, is it close to this? But then everybody's ready. Is this the actual name? No, I'm not going to change it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says Mark Cuban.

Alex says Cuban, Cuban. Alex says, Mr. Wonderful. Randall O'Leary. Nate, Mark Cuban, Yanni, without an answer, Brody. Kevin O'Leary, the correct answer. is Kevin O'Leary, who has the nickname Mr. Wonderful. Wow, Alex. Thanks, Brody.

What a weird, did he give himself that nickname? It shouldn't work for him. Probably. The proposed data center is called the Stratos Hyperscale Data Center. Its campus will span 40,000 acres, which is 62 square miles, making it the biggest of its kind on the planet. It will solely use twice as much electricity as the rest of the state and consume billions of gallons of water.

Scientists predict the campus could create a heat island and raised local temperatures by two to five degrees during the day and eight to 12 degrees at night. Wow. He was a real smug son of a biscuit talking about that thing. And here is a rendering of the proposed campus where that data sent. Here's a rendering of Mr. wonderful. You know what? That does look like him.

I don't say the bald guy. His new thing is he wears jewelry that features like sports cards. in it. Like a million dollar Kobe Bryant signed rookie jersey card. Phil, give me a review of that wasn't directed towards Kobe.

Marty Supreme and then a scoreboard update, please. It's a dissent into hell with the world's worst person. I didn't really buy the ending, but I thought the movie overall was great. Thank you. Oh, I thought you were talking about this episode. Scoreboard update.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I do that, don't I? Here we are. We've got Alex on the world, too. Max has three. Nate, Janice, and Brody are all tied up with five in first place. Six points, Dr. Randall.

You've got to cut the tension with a knife in here. Question nine. The topic is biology. This next great question is via Eric Trumbull. This 11-letter word is defined as, quote, the intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species.

Oh, oh, guys. This 11-letter word is defined as the intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species. Nate and Brody and Randall. Got any hints for anyone, Phil? I like their answers.

I know what animals do this. What animals do this, Max? Bears. I'm talking about that. Those animals? You're right. Oh, dolphins? No.

You know what? I'm good. list my examples in the flavor text and those are both among my examples. This 11-letter word is defined as the intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animals of the same species. They're killing, they're raping,

they're pillaging. Hide you kids. Hide you dolphins. 11-letter word. Oh, I like Max's answer. Sure. That don't worry. 11-letter word. The intention.

killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species. Yanni, do you have this one right? I believe so. Okay. We're going to have a tight game going into the final question. Question 10. Is everybody ready? Yeah.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says, sacrificing. Alex, cannibalism, Randall, infanticide. Nate, Yanni, Brody, infanticide. The correct answer is infanticide. Want to fanta. Don't you want to watch? If you want to spell that correctly at home,

I-N-F-A-N-T, I-C-I-D-E. What are we going to have our Spelling Bee Derby? Our spelling, yeah, spelling bee thing. It's going to happen, I promise. Infanticide is surprisingly common across the animal kingdom, with it being done by dolphins, lions, leopards, bears, squirrels, mongooses, frogs, primates, and more. Sometimes it's a measure of population control,

so there's less competition for resources, But most often infanticide is practiced by males who want to eliminate other males, and so females are motivated to mate again. Is there a different word for if they, like, abort a fetus that hasn't been born yet? Like, zebras will do that. I don't know. Probably just abortion. Still in the non-infanticide? Well, I think infanticide would have to be like, the thing is born, and then something else is killing.

All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One, Jack Rabbit, two, Shank, three, Rice, four, short-faced bear, 5, 8-1-1, 6, Boston Red Sox, 7, Eskimo, 8, Kevin O'Leary, 9, infanticide, Phil. Scoreboard update. Standings remain the same here, I believe, mostly. We've got Nate, Janice and Brody tied up in second place. I know. Or I guess that wouldn't be tied up in second, right?

How does that work against Spencer? Yeah, tied in second. Okay, great. They're all tied up in second with six, and Randall is still a point ahead with seven points. Question 10. The topic is cooking. I hope this is a good one. I prefer two point leads going into question 10.

This inflammatory arthritis used to be called the disease of kings because it was common among well-off individuals who eat a lot of red meat. You got this? Am I a king of the hill fan? No. I didn't know this comes up on King of the Hill. It's the whole plot of one episode. I would imagine that it must be Bill.

Bobby. Bobby, even better. Yeah. Okay. This inflammatory arthritis used to be called, quote, the disease of kings because it was common among well-off individuals who eat a lot of red meat. My dad got this bad. And it's up there like next to dementia for me. Like you're scared of it?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Sucks. Randall's also scared because Bobby Hill had it. Yeah, but his, his, his experience was more lighthearted. Okay. What's the question mean by?

well-off. Wealthy. I don't think you're going to get it. No, I'm not. I'm just trying to give myself any opportunity. Having access to resources. That's what a well-off individual would be here.

You know this word out. The disease of kings. I'm sure I do. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max and Alex do not have an answer.

Yeah. The rest of the room says gout. They got it. The correct answer. Jack rabbit. Is gout. Gout causes pain and swelling in your joints. including knees, ankles, elbows, and hands,

but is most commonly felt in your big toe. Causes include genetics, medication side effects, and diet. Cleveland Clinic says certain foods increase your risk of gout, including game meat, organ meat, and seafood. What about booze? Isn't that a big one for go? I was just going for things relevant to our universe, but it said sugary foods, alcohol,

and then, yeah, the game meat, organ meat, and seafood. Randall is our winner today with eight. He hit the Shelby Index. What are you going to do with that $500 today? Oh, I forgot. That's what happens at this point in the game. It's been so long. Grady won the last two episodes.

We could have almost had it back to back to back. I wasn't prepped for this. You know, I was at the airport the other day. I'm my way back from Florida, which is my new favorite state. Randall is a Florida man. And there was someone from Warriors and Quiet Waters picking up some folks and meeting them at baggage claim to take them out on their, you know, their service members coming to Bozeman to do some outdoor stuff.

And so that's top of mind. And why don't we send it their way? It's also this episode will come out the week of Memorial Day. Oh. So, well, well done, Randall. Send his $500. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
