00:10:10

00:11:58
Speaker 5: That seemed too obvious.
00:12:00
Speaker 1: For oil spills in inland waters, the Environmental Protection Agency leads clean up efforts, but for coastal and Great lake spills, it goes to the coast Guard. The coast Guard has a unique set of responsibilities, including and forcing federal fishing laws, rescuing stranded marine mammals, and leading search and rescue efforts on the ocean.

00:12:50
Speaker 1: That was a hint out.
00:12:51
Speaker 3: That was the only thing that you know. I would also like to point out that I did write coast Guard down before Max showed his board. It’s okay, No, no one accused you. No, I was thinking, show your board to me.
00:13:03
Speaker 5: Except for our boys at drifter hydration.
00:13:06
Speaker 6: I’ve never met a coast that I really like.
00:13:11
Speaker 1: At times of war, they roll up under the navy, they become I was singing that if like, if it comes to it.
00:13:18
Speaker 5: I doubt that my question was likely.
00:13:20
Speaker 3: Is it technically an agency?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: It is an agency. There’s like, what is the five branches of the military six if you count.
00:13:27
Speaker 5: Space seven if you count the postal service.
00:13:30
Speaker 1: But then the Coast Guard is its own thing. Right, We’re onto question three.

00:14:24
Speaker 9: Listeners, please send your complaints to Randall.
00:14:26
Speaker 3: Will also, I also think that most of the chairs I sit in squeak, so maybe it’s it’s more of a groan than a squeak. You might have to do something with carrying capacity.
00:14:39
Speaker 8: Don’t do that to yourself.
00:14:40
Speaker 1: The chairs love to see you coming, Randall. They’re cheering.

Speaker 6: I ran some Trivia fans out in the wild. These these dudes drove twenty eight hours straight from Virginia to Montana just on turkeys, and Max shot a stud of a turkey. Noway, huge spurs, biggest spur. I mean, I haven’t seen a lot of turkeys, but they were big, Marriam spurs. No beard like the dinkiest little, tiny millimeter beard you’ve ever seen your life.
00:15:46

Speaker 5: Although I don’t deserve that title today.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Everybody go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says frog randal salamander omar, catfish, nate, snail, max songbird Alyssa Siegel. We have a correct answer in Randall got it is salamander wow water dogs. North Carolina boasts sixty four species of salamander, with Great Smoky Mountains National Park, earning the title of Salamander Capital of the World. The animals thrive there thanks to the region’s moisture rich, rainforest like climate. The state was also largely on top by glaciers during the last ice Age, which gave salamander’s extra time to evolve, adapt and diversified. There we have a picture of their newest salamander. This is salamander number sixty four, a Carolina Sandhills salamander. Scientists have known about it since the sixties, but it wasn’t until recent genetic work that showed that it is its own species.
00:17:21
Speaker 2: Four toes toes.
00:17:23
Speaker 1: I don’t know how many toes. I think you can have some whisky two on the front. Such a pretty culture. They almost look as well like that would be something Seth would have in his tackle box.
00:17:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, it looks like it came out of a mold.
00:17:39
Speaker 7: Carolina rigok in North Carolina.
00:17:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Carolina rig Carolina Sandhills, Salamon. That’s good question for the topic is hunting. The earliest example of this weapon is from sixteenth century French hunters, who attached daggers to musket barrels to protect them elves from wild boar.

00:18:17
Speaker 3: Oh, Nate, about that, dude.
00:18:23

00:18:27
Speaker 3: Woe what trivia was?
00:18:30
Speaker 5: I don’t know the one where Brody won.
00:18:31
Speaker 3: I was doing everything other than getting the questions correct.
00:18:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a tough one.
00:18:36
Speaker 3: I don’t know how many good hints I could give out when I just choked that one away.
00:18:41
Speaker 1: A few hints. Nate says he’s trained with it, and Seth said, it’s hard to spell.
00:18:46

Speaker 1: Phil Stacker.
00:19:59
Speaker 3: Tambourinees.
00:20:00
Speaker 1: If we were a Monty Python film and someone if Nate stabbed somebody with a bayonet, That’s what sounded with me.
00:20:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don’t think i’ve since I sold an old SKS what. I can’t remember where I sold it?
00:20:13

00:20:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I spent like days in my parents’ kitchen just boiling parts from this rifle to get all the cosmolin out.
00:20:41
Speaker 1: That was probably like the last eighty nine dollars gun.
00:20:44
Speaker 3: That was kids will never get to enjoy that. I really loved it until one time it it just started five like I pulled the trigger and it just ripped off the whole the old chain magazine.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nate tell Us was in a Junkyard stabbing stuff.
00:21:00
Speaker 6: We had a whole course and we had to run around and there’s like all these dummy set up and you had this basically you passed.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but like could you if you oh, you go, Yeah, you can go.
00:21:25
Speaker 3: I don’t know why you couldn’t. Well, I mean in Ohio we were limited to shotguns at that time.
00:21:31
Speaker 1: But yeah, early Bayonets were made of metal, wood and bone. The hunters would stab wounded game with him, sometimes to put the animal out of its misery and other times out of self defense. Early versions were called plug bayonets because they were jammed inside the barrel of the gun. Question five. The topic is public lands. Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix make up this territory that’s home to America’s twenty eighth National Park.
00:22:02
Speaker 3: Wow, everyone seems so confident.
00:22:06
Speaker 1: Seth just had to sit there and watch Nate, Alissa and Max quickly, right, Like, Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix make up this territory that’s home to America’s twenty eighth National park.
00:22:23
Speaker 3: You say it, Saint Croix makes a great fishing round. My brain was in Old Europe when he began this question. It was in a gloomy monastery, and then we ended up in a warm, sunny beat.
00:22:36
Speaker 1: That’s a very different Saint Croix. That Saint Croix is what I’m like the Minnesota Wisconsin border, Is that right? This Saint Croi is a few thousand miles from there.
00:22:47
Speaker 3: This Saint Croix.
00:22:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it’s not any He changed back to the board. We’ll get a scoreboard update and fill the engineer. After this, Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix make up this territory that’s home to America’s twenty eighth National park. Max comparing it.
00:23:07
Speaker 5: Over there, just check it.
00:23:09
Speaker 3: I like to compare everybody.
00:23:11
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, we now have four players have seen each other’s aunts. They all like what they haven Go ahead and reveal your answers. Says Smoky Mountains. The rest of the room says the US Virgin Islands. They got it. The correct answer is the Virginie Jeez. Virgin Islands National Park is located on Saint John, preserving about sixty percent of the island and a portion of the ocean. The land was donated by Lawrence Rockefeller to the National Park Service under the condition under the condition that it would never be developed. The park gets about four hundred thousand visitors each year, which is more than some parks in South Carolina, Texas, and California. Its main attraction is its beaches and coral reefs. Also, it’s donkeys. It has some donkeys that you might encounter. So we’re halfway through the game of trivia. This is scoreboard update.
00:24:14
Speaker 9: Everyone’ zoomed fairly well, but I will say that you can kind of see a brody sized hole in the scoreboard. We’ve got set.
00:24:22
Speaker 3: I don’t see a problem, Alyssa.
00:24:25
Speaker 9: They all have two points apiece, Max and Omar have three job Omar and Randall. He’s got a perfect game of five points.
00:24:34
Speaker 3: Are you sure.
00:24:37
Speaker 9: Fairly certain?
00:24:38
Speaker 3: I’m positive?
00:24:40
Speaker 1: Question six, topic is cooking.
00:24:43
Speaker 3: Salamander, m you can go.
00:24:46
Speaker 1: Question six, the topic is cooking. This sweet and sour condiment, which is popular in Chinese American cuisine, is named after the bird that it’s traditionally served with. Alyssa says, she oh knows this one. This sweet and our condiment, which is popular in Chinese American cuisine, is named after the birds that it’s traditionally served with. Only one listen one out of six players.
00:25:17
Speaker 2: Can I find that Panda Express.
00:25:19
Speaker 1: Not going to give you anything good for you? Lisa? She has a lot of valuable so.
00:25:25
Speaker 3: I’m guessing that it’s not gonna be sweet and sour sauce.
00:25:28
Speaker 1: I would not accept. I would not accept that answer.
00:25:31
Speaker 5: McDonald’s Sweet and Sour Alean.
00:25:38
Speaker 1: This sweet and sour condiment, which is popular in Chinese American cuisine, is named after the bird that it’s traditionally served with random word is Chinese food rank? Just put all of your cuisines top three.
00:25:53
Speaker 3: Oh, I don’t know, I just I don’t know. I don’t. I don’t think about cuisines as being.
00:26:05
Speaker 1: Ring.
00:26:06
Speaker 3: I mean, I love it.
00:26:07
Speaker 1: Randall doesn’t see color.
00:26:08
Speaker 6: But if you had to eat one for the rest of your life Indian food, Yeah, agree, really.
00:26:14
Speaker 1: Wow, totally, Alyssa, just just look away. This sweet and sour condiment, which is popular in Chinese American cuisine, is named after the bird.
00:26:32
Speaker 5: Oh, I hate when it happens.
00:26:33
Speaker 9: I’m rooting for you, Alyssa. I hope you’re the only one.
00:26:38
Speaker 1: Nate, do you have this one right?
00:26:39
Speaker 6: I’ve got a good guess, but I could, I could imagine being wrong. It’s done that time or two.
00:26:44
Speaker 3: It is named after the bird or named after a bird.
00:26:47
Speaker 1: Dish, not telling you anything anymore, Okay, Okay, is everybody ready?
00:26:57
Speaker 5: Yes?
00:26:57
Speaker 1: Yes, Randall, go ahead and veil your answers. Seth duck sauce, Randall duck sauce, Siracha, Nate Peking, Max General sou Chicken, Alica duck sauce. The correct answer is duck sauce.
00:27:13
Speaker 5: I don’t think so.
00:27:17
Speaker 1: I don’t think we will. I’m gonna do the flavor. Tax Duck sauce is an orange jelly that’s made with fruits like plums, apricots, or peaches, comped with sugar, vinegar, ginger, and chili pepper. You’ll often see it in packets alongside soy sauce and spicy mustard. It’s the American version of sauces served with peking duck and is most commonly used as a dip for egg rolls and crab rangoons.
00:27:45
Speaker 3: I was gonna, I was initially gonna say orange chicken sauce, which you know, I.
00:27:52
Speaker 1: Think it’s orange sauce ducks.
00:27:53
Speaker 4: I was tripped up because I think logo has a animal.
00:28:00
Speaker 2: That’s my best guess.
00:28:01
Speaker 1: Okay, that’s a good guess logic on your side.
00:28:03
Speaker 5: I got halfway there.
00:28:04
Speaker 1: Question seven, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Sean Doherty. New Mexico’s Blank Blank missile range has given out ORICS tags since nineteen seventy four.
00:28:16
Speaker 5: We’ve had something like this before.
00:28:18
Speaker 1: We have talked about New Mexico’s what they refer to I think is like the Big Three, but we have not covered this specific thing.
00:28:27
Speaker 5: This is not going to help me close the gap with Randall.
00:28:29
Speaker 1: New Mexico’s blank Blank Range has given out ORCS tag since nineteen seventy four.
00:28:37
Speaker 3: Oh Ma, you’ve probably been here here, yeah, hunting.
00:28:41
Speaker 4: When you were there, I wasn’t hunting myself, but I was with someone that was hunting ORCS.
00:28:47
Speaker 1: Okay, did they fill their tag?
00:28:48
Speaker 2: They did?
00:28:48
Speaker 1: Did they have on range or off off? Okay, we’re not.
00:28:52
Speaker 3: Going to say.
00:28:53
Speaker 5: Is it who I’m thinking of? Rhyme with eighty billers.
00:28:56
Speaker 3: That’s that’s a good guy. I like that guy a lot.
00:29:00
Speaker 1: And is I know on range they have like broken horn orts or just regular Is it the same way off range?
00:29:09
Speaker 7: I think off range is just just an off range. Steve had an off range tag.
00:29:13
Speaker 5: Did you feel that one? Yeah, I’ve heard that’s a tough hunt.
00:29:17
Speaker 3: It was tough.
00:29:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah till the last day.
00:29:21
Speaker 1: Yeah for us, tough hunt. But I think success rates are still like north of thirty five percent for off range really yeah, still pretty high.
00:29:31
Speaker 2: And I’ve heard that meat is some of the best.
00:29:33
Speaker 3: It was good. It was so hot was it hot on your Oh yeah, killed one and gave me some of the meat and it was delicious.
00:29:41
Speaker 2: Was it?
00:29:41
Speaker 5: It was delicious, Gerald.
00:29:46
Speaker 1: Henry, is everybody ready New Mexico’s blank blank Missile range has given out orts tags? Go ahead and reveal your answers. White Sands, White Sands, White White Sands. Max says area fifty one Alyssa without an answer. The correct answer is the White Sands Missile Range.
00:30:09
Speaker 3: Ulsa’s white board was closed.
00:30:16
Speaker 1: Half point philp. The White Sands Missile Range is home to North America’s largest free ranging oryx population. The heard started from ninety five oryx that were stocked there in the nineteen sixties and seventies. It’s estimated that about five thousand of them live on the missile range today, with another couple thousand living in the surrounding desert. Tags are very hard to draw and run upwards of sixteen hundred dollars for non residents. Question eight the topic is biology. Name four of the five vital organs in a mammal? Name four of the five vital organs in a mammal. This is where Shelby got her half point. It’s actually three quarters point, but that would break the Shelby index.
00:31:09
Speaker 8: M hm.
00:31:14
Speaker 7: Hm hmm.
00:31:15
Speaker 1: We’ll get a scoreboard update after this.
00:31:19
Speaker 5: What define vital.
00:31:22
Speaker 1: In in my flavor. I’m not gonna tell you anybody NA four the five vital organs in a mammal?
00:31:28
Speaker 5: Well, there’s only some.
00:31:33
Speaker 1: The definition is when you google vital organs in a mammal, it says, these are the five vital organs in a mammal.
00:31:40
Speaker 3: It’s probably one you need to live.
00:31:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, but i’ll.
00:31:46
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
00:31:48
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:31:52
Speaker 1: How’s your list going, Randall? Are you trying to add or eliminate?
00:31:57
Speaker 3: I I’m looking. I’m trying to think of my fifth. Okay, I have other I know of other organs, so I guess I’m doing elimination, but I’m trying to add a fifth the same time.
00:32:08
Speaker 1: Name four five vital organs in a mammal? Mmm? Maxwell? Do you like your answer? No? He hates it.
00:32:21
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, oh oh we only need four? Only four.
00:32:28
Speaker 9: If you’re at five, you don’t it doesn’t count.
00:32:30
Speaker 5: Yeah you put Yeah, I was going for five.
00:32:33
Speaker 2: That was stupid.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: Omar. Do you have your answer?
00:32:38
Speaker 3: I have mine?
00:32:39
Speaker 1: Max? Do you have your answer?
00:32:41
Speaker 3: No? I need I mean.
00:32:44
Speaker 4: Give Max think about what time the turkey described, Hey, stop throwing.
00:32:51
Speaker 1: A mammal, but it might it might actually help Max while we kill time for Max Epstein Island.
00:32:59
Speaker 3: Is you can see Little Saint John?
00:33:02
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you can see the National Park. I think they’re like twelve miles apart. Is that what I saw?
00:33:09
Speaker 3: You do want to bring it up? I didn’t want to bring it up on the podcast, but I did right to Seth Epstein Island, and then I wrote Little Saint John, Well, is.
00:33:18
Speaker 1: It Saint James James?
00:33:20
Speaker 9: Yeah, you take the Lolita Express to Little Saint James.
00:33:24
Speaker 3: I think it’s good that I don’t know what it is. I’ve never been there.
00:33:31
Speaker 1: Named four of the five vital organs in a mammal, Maxwell, how we doing?
00:33:35
Speaker 3: We’re good?
00:33:36
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth heart, lung, liver, brain, randall, brain, heart, lungs, liver, omar, heart, lungs, brain, kidney, Nate, heart, liver, lungs, kidney, max lungs, heart, liver, stomach, use it was using my brain, olyssa, lungs, brain, kidneys. Right, The five vital organs are brain, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Everybody, but Maxwell, you don’t need.
00:34:13
Speaker 5: To kidney are so important? You need they give you two? What about skin?
00:34:18
Speaker 1: That’s a good point.
00:34:19
Speaker 5: You need a skin.
00:34:20
Speaker 3: That’s the biggest organ of the body.
00:34:23
Speaker 1: Not in a mammal though. Okay, these are the five pillars that keep the body of a mammal functioning, and if any of these organs fail, the organism cannot survive without immediate medical intervention. The non vital organs that a mammal can survive without are the gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, large and testine and appendix phil scoreboard updates two questions to go.
00:34:53
Speaker 3: Scoreboard update.
00:34:55
Speaker 9: Maximilian is in last place with three points, what Alyssa and Nate are tied up with four, Seth and Omar have five, And still holding onto that perfect game is doctor Randall with eight boints.
00:35:08
Speaker 1: He’s already won today’s episode, so I’m just going to see if he can double that donation to one thousand s knocks that question nine. The topic is natural history. A YouTuber was arrested in twenty twenty five after he visited North Blank Island in an attempt to give the highly protected tribe a diet coke easy. Nate had his answer before I finished the question. A YouTuber was arrested in twenty twenty five after he visited North Blank Island in an attempt to give the highly protected tribe a diet coke.
00:35:50
Speaker 2: Die cokes are good.
00:35:51
Speaker 5: It’s an admirable quest. I feel like those people. I’d like a diet coke.
00:35:58
Speaker 9: I would like a Mountain Dew company.
00:36:01
Speaker 8: Man.
00:36:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, code red specific.
00:36:05
Speaker 9: Nah, No Baja blasts.
00:36:06
Speaker 5: Okay, dude, imagine giving him a white.
00:36:08
Speaker 9: Board game fuel.
00:36:09
Speaker 3: I’d give him a bush light.
00:36:11
Speaker 1: Wow, we’d really bring them into the year twenty twenty six. Bush light, Baja blast, and a diet coke. If it’s the island vibes, Randall, are you going to get this one right?
00:36:25
Speaker 3: Man? I know it. I actually read I was reading something that referenced this in the last week. Uh oh, and I’m just drawing a blank.
00:36:35
Speaker 1: It’s frustrating, do you know?
00:36:36
Speaker 3: It’s very frustrating, especially because conservation will suffer as a result of my inadequacies. Oh take that one home with me.
00:36:47
Speaker 1: SI’s less turkeys born next year. Randall, didn’t know what island.
00:36:51
Speaker 3: Is, and now I’m hurting Max by doing that, which pains me even more.
00:36:55
Speaker 1: Give us a new update on the on the henhouse out there. I haven’t seen the ducks in a week.
00:37:00
Speaker 8: Okay, where did they go no idea. The hen and eight ducklans are gone.
00:37:05
Speaker 6: Okay, I saw I think I saw the hen today, the one that hangs out with the two dudes.
00:37:11
Speaker 8: That might be a different hend. Did you see any ducklings, No, duckle I haven’t seen the ducklins in a week now.
00:37:15
Speaker 1: They’ll sometimes do a double clutch in a year, right, So maybe she’ll come back and have batch number two.
00:37:22
Speaker 8: Maybe, But like it’s weird that everything’s gone. Like usually from the nest, they travel from the nest to the water, and once they made it to the water, they stay there and raise the duck LANs.
00:37:35
Speaker 1: But like, I don’t know.
00:37:37
Speaker 8: If she went and found new water or what.
00:37:40
Speaker 1: But I don’t think all of them died. Max is nervous. Keep your eyes out in Bozeman. If you see a hen with both of them twice a day. Eight ducklings, right, eight.
00:37:50
Speaker 8: Ducklans in a single hand, mallard.
00:37:52
Speaker 1: If you see a hen in sound, yeah, the drake. The drakes are still out there.
00:37:57
Speaker 5: I saw three drakes in a hand today.
00:38:00
Speaker 1: Yeah again. Wrong. Question nine topic is natural history. A YouTuber was arrested in twenty twenty five after he visited North Blank Island in an attempt to give the highly protected tribe a diet coke randal. Do you have this one right?
00:38:18
Speaker 3: No? No, I don’t.
00:38:19
Speaker 5: Should I give it to you for conservation?
00:38:21
Speaker 3: No? No, then I’d end up fraudulent.
00:38:25
Speaker 1: Score Turkeys wouldn’t like that either.
00:38:27
Speaker 3: No. Actually, the great piles of fraud that constitute my present existence.
00:38:36
Speaker 1: The donation needs to be Peter of art.
00:38:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, and don’t let don’t let pay back.
00:38:40
Speaker 3: I feel like mine might sound like it.
00:38:43
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. Without an answer, Randall says Easter, Omar says Papa New Guinea. Nate says Sentinel Max without an answer, Olyssa without an answer. The correct answer is you’re Northan sent all the island. Oh yeah, looking for the YouTuber so I put down Jake Paul.
00:39:11
Speaker 3: Northland was thinking he needed to find just worried about it to look up the Papagan New Guinea YouTube account. He’s missing out all the good stuff.
00:39:22
Speaker 1: I think Jake Paul Island would just have a diet code factory out there. Probably. The Centales are one of the world’s last uncontacted people’s with only a handful of outsiders visiting them in modern history. It’s estimated that the population of the twenty three square mile island is between one hundred and two hundred. The Indian government enforces a straight five mile exclusion zone around the island, which is for the tribe safety and public safety. Besides the YouTuber, the last person to visit the island was a Christian missionary in twenty eighteen who was killed and buried on the beach.
00:39:58
Speaker 2: That’s who is the YouTube.
00:40:00
Speaker 5: My head.
00:40:00
Speaker 1: I don’t know the guy’s name. No, he had a long last name with a lot of vowels that look like it would be on the back of a hockey jersey if that helps you not at all. We’re now looking at a picture that somewhere something of five of the members of North.
00:40:17
Speaker 6: I don’t mean this in a like how are they not super in brad.
00:40:25
Speaker 3: Genetic is real tight.
00:40:27
Speaker 1: I think they they believe the populations fluctuated between like thirty and five hundred, and they’ll go and check on them sometimes after a hurricane rolls through, just to try to be like, are they okay? Are are they doing all right? But it’s still a lot of it.
00:40:41
Speaker 8: But it’s not like they would take the help would they.
00:40:43
Speaker 5: Well, see, that’s what’s such so interesting.
00:40:45
Speaker 1: I think they had one positive experience with some anthropologists back in like the seventies who went there and they gifted them coconuts, and I think they gifted them a pig maybe, and that went okay. But then there were some other bad relations where they took some members of the island away. Those people died before the boat even landed, and it’s just like soured things ever since. All right, here’s a correct answer review so far. One was Lake Okechobee two, Coastguard three Salamander, four Bayonet, five Virgin Islands six, duck Sauce seven, White Sands, missile range. Eight was brain heart, lungs, liver, kidneys. Nine was Sentinel phil school board updates.
00:41:27
Speaker 9: Still has a victory, butanks to Spencer jinxing it, he has lost the perfect game.
00:41:33
Speaker 1: That’s right, seth Omar and Nate playing for second place. Here’s question tend. This next great question is via Andrew Green. This nine letter word is defined as quote any large, thick skinned, non ruminant mammal, most notably elephants, rhinos.
00:41:54
Speaker 5: And hip hops. This is such a good question.
00:41:58
Speaker 1: Via Andrew Green. This nine letter word is defined as any large, thick skinned, non ruminant mammal, most notably elephants, rhinos, and hippos.
00:42:09
Speaker 5: I’ve heard this, but I don’t have.
00:42:10
Speaker 1: It, Randall, Do you have this one right?
00:42:13
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:42:13
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, big zoo boy. I’d be disappointed if you get.
00:42:17
Speaker 5: No issue with.
00:42:21
Speaker 3: List zoo boy.
00:42:29
Speaker 1: Nine letter word defined as any large, thick skinned, non ruminant mammal, most notably elephants, rhinos, and hippos. Randall may be the only player who even comes up with an answer.
00:42:40
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, you know this.
00:42:42
Speaker 5: It’s there.
00:42:44
Speaker 9: I take us, I say, probably don’t.
00:42:47
Speaker 3: I don’t know it.
00:42:48
Speaker 5: Really, it’s we need to do a tiebreaker.
00:42:54
Speaker 6: Second place doesn’t get decided and give clues.
00:42:58
Speaker 5: Everybody get some clues.
00:43:01
Speaker 1: Everybody, go ahead, give them a clue. How I don’t know how you’d give a clue on this one, Randall.
00:43:05
Speaker 3: It’s hard to spell. I saw the first three letters of the word on Randall’s board, and.
00:43:08
Speaker 5: I still can’t tell the rest.
00:43:11
Speaker 3: If I had a real if I had a real problem with my skin being too thick, what sort of doctor would I see? Oh? Okay, and then if you know that the dinosa, the dinosaurs that have a really thick skull. Yeah, I think Phil. Can you look that up?
00:43:30
Speaker 5: Oh?
00:43:30
Speaker 7: I got I got it.
00:43:33
Speaker 1: The first three letters which were what? Randall? What were the first three letters?
00:43:37
Speaker 3: I don’t want to give that. I don’t want to give that.
00:43:41
Speaker 2: Did you look up the dinosaur?
00:43:43
Speaker 3: Well?
00:43:43
Speaker 9: There are several, but I think I know what you’re you’re talking about.
00:43:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that’s the right name for it. Okay, but I feel like I’ve just been reading too much. Randal. You are correct in the Jurassic Park University.
00:43:52
Speaker 6: You give that in a weird order? Yeah, okay, cool, I’m in it.
00:43:56
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?
00:43:57
Speaker 3: I got it? Sounds maybe put her there?
00:44:00
Speaker 5: Thanks dog, Come on.
00:44:02
Speaker 1: Alyssa wants to get into that second place conversation.
00:44:06
Speaker 3: Zoo Boy podcast coming out spring of twenty twenty seven.
00:44:10
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answer, Seth without an answer, Randall says, pacoderm omar without an answer, Nate, he got it, packaderm MAT’s without an answer, Alyssa without an answer. The correct answer is pacoderm a c h y d e r M. Packderm is derived from the Greek word pacodermis, which translates to thick skinned. This is an obsolete term, with modern genetic studies placing them in different animal orders. Pacoderm is considered an artificial classification, but still a popular one. All right, Phil, he is showing us the scoreboard. Randal is today’s winner with nine correct answers. He got the Shelby index right on the nose, Randal. What are we gonna do with that five hundred donation?
00:45:01
Speaker 3: Let’s send this to the organization Outdoor Mentors. Okay, Steve at Outdoor Mentors just recently wrote into us to update them on what they’re doing. But they’re pairing kids with adults who will get him outside, and they’re expanding into forty different states. And so let’s send this money there and get some more kids out in the woods and on the water.
00:45:22
Speaker 1: Five hundred dollars that get a lot of fishing rods, maybe a couple of guns.
00:45:26
Speaker 3: And if you’d rather have one thousand dollars versus five hundred, you can thank the good people of North Sentinel Islands.
00:45:34
Speaker 1: Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where Conservation.
00:45:37
