Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
There is a prize.
Meadeter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing.
I'm your host, Spencer Newark, and today we're joined by Janus, Corey, Max, Laura, Omar,
Riva, and Nate.
This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters' four verticals, which are hunting,
fishing, conservation, and cooking.
Mead eater trivia is brought to you by.
one of my favorite beers, Bush Light.
Bush Light, head for the mountains.
All right, we're starting today's episode
with a mailbag question.
If you have a question you want the crew to answer,
then send your question with the subject line mailbag
to trivia at the meat eater.com.
I like this question.
This is probably my favorite one we've gotten so far.
It was sent just a couple of hours ago this morning.
It is from Madeline L.
My husband and I do not get many date nights.
This means when hunting season comes around,
we treated as date nights,
leaving the kids with my family.
and go sit out in the stand or blind together.
We take turns per season, whose turn it is to get to shoot and have a chance at an animal.
Two years ago, my husband harvested his first black bear.
Last year, we went bear hunting and it was my turn to shoot, but we did not even see a single bear,
so we walked away with nothing.
We are now having a tip about whose turn it is to shoot this year.
He thinks it is his because it was my opportunity last year, and it doesn't matter that we didn't see anything.
I think it is mine because I didn't get to harvest an animal or even get to shoot.
I would love the crew's thoughts and input.
Whose turn is it?
Yeah, she hasn't had an opportunity.
Yeah.
What a dick.
Okay.
It would be different if she, like, missed a bear.
And then it would be like his turn up to bat, you know, but yeah, ladies first.
My take would be if it was the husband, like, both of you have never shot a bear before.
The husband got his first bear.
Now it's your turn.
You didn't get one yet.
I think it should just be your turn until you get that opportunity.
For sure.
that bear. After that, I think you could just alternate. And like, if you strike out then,
uh, beyond that, uh, that, that was your season. That was your chance. Now it goes back to your
husband. But I, I, I think there's a little bit of a twist with the fact that they're probably not
just hunting bears, right? There's like deer seasons coming up or whatever. So how does it
play into when it comes, when it comes to a different species? I think if you each had your
first deer, if you each had your first turkey, just alternate beyond that. But assuming this is
Everyone's first black there.
Let Madeline have the shot.
But else,
team Madeline.
Yeah, for sure.
But if they go deer hunting,
I think they should sort of like start back at zero.
And they just trade off.
Okay.
And this time,
you really got to decide,
are we doing it per day?
Are we doing it per sit?
Are we doing it per animal?
And just have that discussion ahead of time.
Some people do it per hour, too.
Like, oh, this is your hour.
Oh, that's insane.
Riva has some input.
Riva.
Whose turn is it?
It seems like he should have first right of refusal.
Mm.
But it would be a gentlemanly thing to let her have it.
That's right.
I agree.
In my house, my wife just makes all the rules.
So I don't know what they're debating about.
She could have had 10 shots at bears.
She's like, this is my shot.
It's going to be her shot.
Laura, what do you think?
Whose turn is it?
Oh, well, I took the literal route where she said we took turns each season.
So, I mean, you strike out.
Okay.
You're passing it on then.
You think it's the husband's turn.
Yeah.
All right. We have, I think, eight folks in this room, and it seems like six of us are team Madeline and one or two, team husband.
Phil Taylor. What do you think? Give us your thoughts.
There cannot be a person in this room with less authority or perspective.
So I'll just, as I often do, I'll side with the wife.
Okay. Smart move.
Team Madeline. It's Madeline's turn again, at least until she gets her first bear, gets her first chance.
I heard a good one the other day. I felt I was in a class. I was taking a kid.
and we're doing like introductions and the guy was making a joke but he said yeah i make all of
the big decisions in this relationship here we just haven't had any big decisions to make yet
all right no housekeeping today the shelby index for this episode is a three
so our winner should get six 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 hunting.
This first great question is via Shalantichi.
The American Kennel Club places beagles in this class of dog.
Is it sporting, working, herding, or hound?
The American Kennel Club places beagles in this class of dog.
Is it sporting, working, working, or hound?
herding, or hound.
Max, would have you needed the choices on this one?
You were pretty quick to answer.
Yeah, I would have.
Okay.
Just to...
Yeah, just to make sure my answer was...
Yeah, just make sure I had a chance.
I don't know if I would have known the classes to choose from.
I thought it was going to be something else, like type of game they pursue or something.
Like, I wouldn't know what the difference between working and hurting is.
Like, what's an example of a working?
Well, I guess you'll tell us in the flavor test.
The American Kennel Club places Beagles in this class of dog, sporting, working, herding, hound.
I don't even know if I'm right.
I kind of want a beagle.
Yeah, they're pretty cool dogs.
Yeah, but what's working dog?
Like a German Shepherd.
All right, we're giving a lot of hits out here.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni says, hound, Laura, hound, Riva, hound, omar, hound.
Hound.
Upside down.
Corey Hound.
Nate Hound.
Max Hound.
The whole room got it right.
The correct answer is Hound.
AKC says that the Hound category is a group of dogs that share the ancestral trait of being used for hunting.
This class is known for its stamina, nose, and baying.
The hound group includes coon hounds, foxhounds, bloodhounds, basset hounds, greyhounds, whippets, dachins, beagles, and more.
You're going to whip it, huh?
to whip it. I didn't have sporting, or I didn't have flavor text for the other groups,
but sporting, that's like labs, I think. Bird dogs. Retrievers, yeah.
Working, as Omar said, I'm guessing.
I think that it sounds about right. Maybe.
I'm a healer. Malinwa.
I've met a new dog when I was in Kansas last week that I'd never even heard of.
Has anybody heard of a Patterdale?
No. No. What do they do? It is like, you guys should Google it,
image it later. When you first meet him, you're like, oh, it's a lab puppy with a dock tail.
I mean, that's what it looks like, full grown.
Huh.
And very lovable.
They almost kind of act like a lab puppy when you're just hanging out with them.
Until they're within, like, scent distance of a coon, which then the other side of that
dog comes out and they go and kill the coon or whatever, you know, critter, you've trained
it to get after.
Patterdale?
Yeah.
So it's basically like a lab puppy that kills Coons.
It's kind of.
That's sick.
Yeah.
Just some quick Googling here.
Part of the working group, you have Siberian Husky.
Dobermans and Great Danes, and then part of the herding group, Border Collies,
German Shepherds, and Welsh Corgi's.
Where does the Patterdale fall in?
I don't know we are going to move on to question.
I would say hound.
The topic is woodsmanship.
The Discovery Channel debuted this risque reality show in 2013, which one TV critic called,
quote, more voyeuristic than educational.
The Discovery Channel debuted this risque reality show in 2013, which one TV critic called more voyeuristic than educational.
Nate and Corey, quick to answer.
Corey, have you seen this show?
I have not.
Okay.
Laura, do you have this one right?
I think so.
Okay.
Do you like this TV show?
No, 2013 is a weird time for TV shows.
Okay.
Can you expand on that for us?
Phil was nodding his head in agreement, though.
He also thinks 2013 was a weird year of TV.
No, but I wanted to make Laura feel better.
The Discovery Channel debuted this risque reality show in 2013,
which one TV critic called more voyeuristic than educational.
Yanni with a blank whiteboard over here.
I had two very young kids that year.
I wasn't doing a lot of TV watching.
Probably because they weren't sucking on binkies.
Probably.
Paid off.
There you go.
Maxwell doesn't know this one either.
Omar, do you know this one?
I was a sophomore in high school.
I was not watching too much TV.
Reva, do you have an answer?
Do you have this one right?
I think so, yeah.
Oh, Riva knows it?
Yeah.
Nope.
Discovery Channel.
Is there like a shark, nature reality?
No, no.
a risque reality show
which one TV critic
called
more voyeuristic than educational.
You guys ever seen an Egyptian
pharaoh dog?
That's another one I didn't know existed
until I saw it. And you see it and you're like,
that looks like an Egyptian dog
and turns out.
They had a double ACL tear.
Dang. Yeah.
They did just put that thing down if it was like 50 years ago.
Yeah.
I don't know. Yeah.
Weird looking dog.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni says, Shark Brothers.
Laura, naked and afraid.
No.
Riva, naked and afraid.
Omar, naked and afraid.
Corey, naked and afraid.
Nate, naked and afraid.
Max, Bear Grills.
The correct answer is naked and afraid.
Bear Girls is like 06, Max.
Yeah, who knows?
Naked and afraid is Corey every night.
Naked and afraid is a reality show where two survivalists
Usually a man and woman who have never met before are dropped into extreme wilderness locations.
And as the name implies, they don't have clothes.
One former contestant said in a 22 TikTok that she is aware of at least five former duos who have hooked up while filming the show.
Naked and Afraid is in its 19th season.
Yeah, great idea.
I mean, that producer, I guarantee a multi-millionaire.
You could just do any reality show going forward like naked and basketball.
Naked and fixer-upper.
What about meat-eater and afraid?
Okay.
Naked meat-eater and afraid.
Question three, the topic is nature.
The central part of this state is known as
Sinkhole Alley,
where porous limestone and abundant rainfall
create America's highest frequency of ground collapses.
The central part of this state is known as,
sink hole alley where porous limestone and abundant rainfall create America's highest frequency of ground collapses.
Nate, the only player with an answer so far.
And I don't know that he likes his answer either.
No, it's a numbers game for me.
Okay.
One in 50 numbers game.
Where's there a bunch of limestone?
Hmm.
Hmm.
The central part of this state is known as sink hole alley,
or porous limestone and abundant rainfall create America's highest frequency of ground collapse.
Is Maxwell, do you have a state?
Yeah, I got a state.
Okay.
Eva, do you have an answer?
I have something, but it's a guess.
Sinkhole Alley.
Where is that located?
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni says Kentucky.
Oura, Alaska.
Riva says Arkansas.
Omar, California.
Corey, Tennessee.
Nate, California.
Max, Kentucky.
The correct answer
is none of those.
It's Florida.
Oh, geez.
Three specific counties,
Pasco, Hernando, and Hillsborough
create sinkhole alley.
They account for 75%
of Florida's reported ground
collapses. Tampa is in the heart
of sinkhole alley with thousands of
insurance-related sinkhole claims
each year. Sinkhole season
in Florida occurs in January and
February and May in June when groundwater tables fluctuate the most.
This is the biggest sinkhole in modern U.S. history that happened in sinkhole alley
350 feet wide, 90 feet deep.
It swallowed a home, Olympic-sized swimming pool, and car dealership.
Today, it is a pond that's known as Lake Rose, and it's named after the homeowner
who had their house swallowed by that sinkhole.
Wow.
Did they make it out a lot?
I don't think there were any injuries or deaths, I believe.
in that accident.
But Florida just bodies the rest of the country
when it comes to making sinkholes.
I should have known that.
I lived in Orlando for a while,
and that was something people talked about.
Come on, Riva.
Could have taken the lead.
Orlando likes their sinkholes as well.
All right, we're on to question four.
The topic is gear.
This next great question is via Chase Stacey.
This Swedish brand with a nine-letter name
is best known for their chainsaws,
even though they made firearms for 300 years.
Nate has his answer, Yanni started to write, but then paused.
This Swedish brand with a nine-letter name is best known for their chainsaws,
even though they made firearms for 300 years.
Maxwell, do you have this one right?
I got a Swedish name, maybe.
Okay.
And I, yeah, I think they make chainsaws.
I didn't spell it right, though.
Spelling doesn't count.
No, it does.
If only.
This Swedish brand with a nine-letter name is best known for their chainsaws,
even though they made guns for 300 years.
Omar, do you have this one right?
I think I do.
Corey, do you have this one right?
We'll see.
Okay.
Got a great guess.
Laura, do you have an answer?
No.
Yanni, did you get this one?
I believe so.
Okay.
Room feels okay.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni says Husk Varner.
Laura, without an answer, Riva.
Husk Varner.
The rest of the room says Husk Varner.
They got it.
The correct answer is Husk Varner.
And I see the brand spelled with a Q or a K
based on which country they're advertising in.
Husk Varner was founded in 1689 as a musket maker
for the Swedish army.
They expanded into sewing machines,
meat grinders, and bicycles in the 1800s,
followed by motorcycles, lawn mowers, and chainsaws
in the 1900s.
Husk Barton made their final firearm in 1989,
causing their rifles to become very collectible
to gun enthusiasts.
Question five, the topic is fishing.
The name of this fish is often shortened to GT,
which Western Angler magazine says
is quote, one of the fiercest
fish predators in the world.
Max, confident,
Corey confident.
Corey was very confident.
Laura confident.
Yanni confident.
It's a bucket list fish for me.
The name of this fish is often shortened to G.T.,
which Western Angler magazine says
is one of the fiercest fish predators in the world.
Has anyone in the room caught a GT before?
Nope.
No.
No.
Okay.
I don't have too many here in Montana.
There's a hint.
There's a few.
Nate, I feel bad for you.
You got to hike a long way.
Dude.
Yeah, they're out in the Bob Marshall.
Yeah.
Have you used that fishing ride yet in your office?
Of course not.
The name of this fish.
I will do it at some point.
I will do it before this child is born.
What you got in the office?
Something off the free table.
It's an ugly stick.
What?
Hey, you take that back.
Oh, that's what it's called.
The name of this fish is often shortened to GT,
which Western Angler magazine says is one of the
fiercest fish predators in the world.
Yanni, are we just doodling over here?
Yeah, okay, okay, all right.
Is the rest of the room ready?
I've seen a video on this, but I don't know.
I got it right.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni, giant Travelli.
Laura, same answer.
Riva, gator trout.
Omar, gator, travali.
Corey, Grand Travali.
What?
I know, I know.
Nate, Grand Tarpon.
Everybody poops.
Max, Giant Travali, the correct answer is Giant Travali.
Bummer.
Cory.
Oh, in my head, I'm like, that's what I wrote down.
A bucket list fish.
Giant Travali are a type of jack and are the biggest of the Travali species.
They are considered an adventure fish because of their size, speed, attitude, and challenging water where they live.
GT like to hunt along shallow reefs, which is where anglers throw poppers for them.
All right, and now it's time for our Can-Am question of the week.
Thanks to Can-Am, you get some bonus trivia in this week's episode.
This does not count towards your score.
It's just for bragging, right?
Here's the question.
The topic is hunting.
Can-Am says that this five-letter accessory will, quote, undoubtedly save the day when you need to get unstuck or hoist a large animal.
Bing, bang, boom, bob.
We are halfway through the game of trivia.
So we will get a scoreboard update after this.
But right now we're onto the bonus can-am question.
Can-Am says that this five-letter accessory will undoubtedly save the day when you need to get unstuck or hoist a large animal.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni, winch.
Laura, Wynch.
Riva says Can-Am.
The rest of the room says, winch, they got it.
It's a winch.
That was our Can-Am question of the week.
Can-Am.
unstoppable.
Thanks, K&M.
All right, Phil,
scoreboard update.
I don't know if this has happened before,
especially in a game full of seven.
Oh, my goodness.
This is definitely never happening.
The entire room,
all seven players have three points.
Everyone's got a chance.
As I say,
anybody's game.
Anybody's,
let's have a seven way overtime.
I would be tickled if that happened.
All right,
I'll throw the game.
Let's death pack.
We just get all the rest of them wrong.
It's like a grand teetan.
I don't know.
That's going to haunt me forever.
Most of us aren't scouting or working on our property as often as we'd like.
We've got jobs, families, and a limited number of days in the tree each fall.
So the work you do now matters.
On X-Hunt, put your trail camera photos on your map.
Dials in wind and weather for the exact spot you're hunting.
And there's a powerful deer movement forecast rooted in data from trail camera images.

This sporty word refers to the process where shallow cuts are made into the fat of a
duck breast before cooking.
Max, has it.
Nate has it.
Corey thought it looked like he maybe had it.
Okay, yeah.
Just bluffing me.
This sporty word refers to the process where shallow cuts are made into the fat of a duck
breast before cooking.
Laura is clapping her hands.
You have this one right, Laura?
She's going to keep her lead going into question seven.
Omar blank whiteboard.
Yanni blank whiteboard.
Oh, I know it. It's there. It is just not, doesn't want to come out right now.
Corey, did you find the answer? I dug deep and it was there.
Okay, Reba, do you have the answer? All right. So we're waiting on. Omar and Yanni.
I've never done this before.
Oh, and Yanni thinks he has it. It's down to Omar on his blank whiteboard.
This sporty word refers to the process where shallow cuts are made.
Sorry, Spencer. You keep it in your board in front of the camera.
Oh, sorry. I just want to show everyone my answer.
Oh, and they can see it. I really love the artwork.
as well. This sporty word refers to the process where shallow cuts are made into the fat of a duck breast before cooking.
Omar, are you ready?
No answer.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have the whole room except Omar saying, scoring.
They got it.
The correct answer is score or scoring.
To score a duck breast, you should make cross hatch cuts through the fat without penetrating the meat.
This creates channels that help render.
the fat and form a crispy skin.
For more on this process, go read
Danielle Pruitt's article on the meat eater.com
called How to Cook the Perfect Duck Breast.
It has a perfect five-star rating on our website.
It really does make a difference.
Yeah.
Question seven, the topic is fishing.
This next great question is via Tedra Bean.
Wharf and Pier are synonyms
for this five-letter word
that's defined as, quote,
a structure extended into a sea, lake, or river to influence the current or tide or to protect a harbor.
Five letter word, wharf and pier are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as
a structure extended into a sea, lake, or river to influence the current or tide or to protect a harbor.
It does not look like anybody has an answer yet.
Max has done a lot of writing and erasing.
I got five letter word.
Okay.
Riva, do you have this one right?
Okay, Riva's nodding that she has it.
Laura has now joined her with an answer that she thinks is correct.
Max, what are the odds you have this one right?
Oh, man, I feel pretty good about this.
Okay, you know.
All right.
Max, Riva and Laura all seem to have it.
The rest of the room does not.
But they're laughing like it's a funny word.
Okay.
She spelled it in the most unique fashion.
Oh, all right.
And then change it to an even worse spelling.
All right.
That makes me a question my answer.
That's a high tip.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
You're blocking the king.
I'm just going to put it out.
You're just giving the audience a sneak peek, which is fun.
Wharf and peer are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as
a structure extended into a sea, lake, or river to influence the
current or tied or to protect a harbor. Well, Phil, given my history, I don't know if the
viewer should trust my answers, really. I will tell them that in this case, they shouldn't.
Yeah, no. Oh, all right. Don't change that answer.
Why is someone? Nate, do you have this one right? No, I'm going to hear it and be so sad.
Yanni, do you have this one right? Yes. Okay. Well, as long as Laura has it right,
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, whoa.
Okay, okay, I think I got it.
I think I pulled it out.
Is it five letters?
Oh yeah.
Is everybody ready?
Yeah.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Yanni saying, Jetti, Laura, Jetti, Riva, Jettie, Omar, without an answer, Corey, point.
Nate, Jettie, Max, Breach, Break.
The correct answer is Jetty.
Hey-oh.
This side of the table.
Like a sea wall.
Seawall break.
Pulled that out at the last second.
Humans have been making jetties for thousands of years with the planet's oldest known one located on the Red Sea.
It was built by the Egyptians while they were also constructing the pyramids.
That limestone jetty extends hundreds of feet into the water and served as a sheltered boat basin.
Here is an overhead picture of that jetty.
4,500 years old.
It's the oldest one that they know about on the planet.
All right, we are on to question eight.
He's Egyptian.
Always getting into things.
The topic is woodsmanship.
This is our listener question of the week, which was won by William Riddle for sending this great question.
William 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 homophone refers to the organic material in soil made from decayed, plant, and animal matter,
and a Middle Eastern dip.
Max and Nate both quick to ask.
Okay.
If you know Nate's diet, that could help you here.
This homophone refers to the organic material in soil
made from decayed plant and animal matter
and a Middle Eastern dip.
Can you remind me what homophone means?
I cannot remind you.
If another player in the room would like to remind you,
they could.
But I would say they maybe don't.
Yeah.
For Big W on this game.
Oh, geez, you guys.
Why don't you tell us what you think it means?
We should make a gibboni handshake.
What?
When the non-Jabronies don't know something we do.
It's like when in volleyball you ace them, you know?
Ace, ace in your face.
Something like that, but for us.
So this is edible?
You ate it last night.
This homophone.
I had a couple of years ago.
to the organic material and soil made from decayed plant and animal matter and a Middle Eastern dip.
Maxwell says he's also recently eaten this.
So if you know,
sorry, I gotta stop doing that.
I do it on perfect.
Max or Nate, that could help you.
The listeners are probably gonna write in and just curse me.
Corey, do you have this one?
I don't think so, man.
I got a pretty yummy dip written down.
Okay.
Omar, do you have this one?
I'm on the same boat as Corey.
Riva?
There's a chance.
Laura.
Always a chance.
Chance.
Okay.
Yanni, still have a blank whiteboard?
Do you have an answer?
Still blank.
How much time do I have?
Not much more.
The rest of the room is ready.
You think Jennifer knows this one?
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
This homophone refers to the organic material and soil
made from decayed plant in animal matter
and a Middle Eastern dip.
I hope we're right.
Oh, we're right.
Oh, we're right.
Guaranteed.
Really?
Yeah.
Yanni?
He's guaranteed.
I think you need to give up or come up with an answer.
Go ahead and reveal your answer.
Yanni says hummus.
I would go.
Laura and Riva and Omar.
The whole room says hummus.
The whole room got it right.
The correct answer is hummus.
A lot of stress there.
Seven way tight.
The soil hummus is spelled with 1M
and the chickpea hummus is spelled with two ms.
The 1M version is created
when microorganisms fully decomposed dead things.
It is the anchor of healthy soil,
storing vital nutrients,
holding massive amounts of water,
and housing beneficial microbes.
All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard.
Is that the one where you can read it the same way?
Spelled two different ways,
like having three buys or three twos or here and here.
What's it called when you can read it forward to back?
Oh, no, you're thinking of a...
Like NASCAR.
Oh.
A palindrome is the same.
Race car.
Race car.
That's what it was.
Taco cat.
Laura knew what I meant.
All right, Bill.
Two questions left.
The seven-way tie is broken.
Oh, this is horrible.
But we do have a four-way tie in first place between Janus, Laura, Riva, and Nate.
They all have six points behind them are Max and Corey with five.
Omar has four.
I've heard people call.
a grand travolta.
If we want to look it up,
we should take five minutes.
You know what?
I could look it up.
We should look it up.
Riva had a really strong game last time I was in here.
Did I?
Yeah.
I think he almost won.
Didn't Riva almost win when we were in here last time?
Brianna.
Oh, Brianna.
Sorry, Riva.
All right, we're on to question nine.
The topic is hunting.
Come on, ducks, ducks, ducks.
This publication with a redundant name was North America's first.
White Tail Specific Magazine, which was founded in Wisconsin in 1977.
The room is stumped.
A redundant name.
This publication with a redundant name was North America's first White Tail Specific Magazine,
which was founded in Wisconsin in 1977.
This is when Spencer's like, oh, here you go, Yanni, take the game.
Wisconsin, let me show you some Wisconsin.
An old man from Wisconsin?
Let me make a question for him.
Geez
That's a low blow there, bud.
Yanni, if I
pitch a meat eater show called sleeveless
and afraid, which you do?
Sure, I'd host it.
Great.
Yanni, do you have this one right?
I believe so.
This publication with a redundant
name was North America's first
White Tail Specific magazine, which was
founded in Wisconsin in
1977.
Is it still being...
Not going to give you.
you any hints?
Published.
It would be nice to know.
I'm not going to help you there.
If it is, I'm going to subscribe today.
Okay, wow.
I'd help Yanni get that victory.
You might have a one-point lead after this.
Maybe.
Publication with a redundant name.
Laura just came up with an answer.
Is it the right answer?
Sure is not.
Okay.
How about you, Omar?
Do you have this one?
I don't think so, but I've been wrong before.
You've been right before, too.
You've been wrong about being right.
Exactly. That's right, Matt.
Is everybody ready?
Hold on.
Okay.
Waiting on Corey.
Yeah.
Maybe.
This publication with a redundant name was North America's first
White Tail specific magazine, which was founded
in Wisconsin in 1977.
Oh, Nate, doing a quick answer change.
I'm changing strategy from just a joke to...
That's a good story.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni, deer and deer hunting.
Laura, white-tailed bucks.
That's good, Riva.
Reva, dear, dear, using the homophone.
Omar, field and stream.
Corey, hunt and hunt magazine.
Nate, field and stream.
Max, big, giant white tails.
Yanni got it.
The correct answer is deer and deer hunting.
The brand began in 1973 as stump sitters, then became deer and deer hunting in 1977.
The name reflects the magazine's focus on the animal and the tactics used to pursue it.
Pat Durkin estimates that he wrote more than 150 articles for deer and deer hunting in the 1990s.
I looked the name Stump Sitter.
That was a good name.
Maybe a better name.
I think they are still in publication, Yanni, so you owe them a subscription now.
All right, here's a correct answer review so far.
One was hound.
Two, naked and afraid.
Three, Florida.
Four, Husk Varna.
Five, giant Travali.
Six.
Score.
Seven.
Jetti.
Eight.
Hummus.
Nine.
Deer and deer hunting.
Phil scoreboard.
Janis has pulled ahead.
He has seven points now.
Laura, Riva, and Nate are behind him with six.
Okay.
We'll see if we can stomp on question 10.
The topic is.
wildlife.
This 10-letter word is defined as, quote,
a class of marine mollusks that includes squids,
cuttlefishes, and octopuses.
A 10-letter word is defined as a class of marine mollusks
that includes squids, cuddlefishes, and octopuses.
We have been in a drought for overtime lately.
If Nate can get this right.
Come on, Nate.
Oh, I got a right.
Or Laura could get this right.
And Yanni could get this wrong.
Yanni has a grin, though.
It seems like he knows it.
A word just popped in there, and I wrote it down.
He's got it.
He's got it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
They may have secured the victory.
You might just get a real good chuckle.
I wrote down.
Laura and Reva in second place right now,
fighting for that tiebreaker.
Do either of you have it?
No.
No.
I don't think so.
10-letter word is defined as a class of marine mollusks that includes squids, cuttlefishes, and octopuses.
Speaking of octopuses, we should check in with Steve and see if he's caught any octopuses.
Is he not home yet?
I thought he was back.
Was he already back?
I don't think so.
I don't know.
I don't know if Seth's still up there.
Oh, okay.
No, he's not back.
Cuddlefish.
Would the sunfish also fall in this category?
It depends what kind of sunfish you're talking about.
Ooh, the only sunfish, those big cool ones.
No, there's blue gills.
Oh.
Panfish.
Those are my sonfish.
Watch your mouth.
Kid-friendly show.
You can't hear you.
Nate raises his child to immediate trivia.
Is everybody ready?
Yeah, that's good.
Baker and I listen to all the podcasts together at 3 a.m.
Good company, man.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Yanni says cephalopod.
Laura, invertebrate.
Riva.
Squish, Squish.
Omar without an answer.
Corey without an answer.
Nate, Cephalopod.
Max, without an answer, the correct answer is cephalopod.
Dang.
Cephalopod is a Greek word that means head foot, which refers to how their head is directly
connected to their many arms.
Other things that make cephalopods unique.
is that they have three hearts, blue blood,
and one of the animal kingdom's most complex brains.
Blue blood?
Blue blood?
All right, that makes Yanni's today's winner.
He got eight.
Good job, Johnny.
Thank you.
He gets to choose with a $500 donation from me to go.
Yanni, what's it going to be?
It's been a while.
He's rifling for his phone.
It's been a long longer from other people.
Trying to figure out who he's going to donate that money to.
It's been about three years, four years.
let's give it to the Montana Wilderness School
Montana Wilderness School
Yanni a big supporter of theirs
I like Montana Wilderness School yep

And it gets your kids out there
and they have a lot of grants and what's the other word I'm looking for.
Scholarship money.
So they make it accessible.
$500 going their way.
Yanni beats the other six players for having a seven-way tie.
Nice job, Yanni.
