Speaker 1: Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $ 500 to the conservation organization of the winner’s choosing. I’m your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we’re joined by Brody, Randall, Seth, Reva, Alyssa, and Dane. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Meat 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 of the 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 themeateater.com. Before the show, our contestants today, they deemed this to be an easy one. So here it is. Sam M. He says, I recently married into a family that is very hunting oriented and has land my wife has hunted for over a decade. However, I have never killed a deer and this will be my first time hunting bigger game. My question for the crew is if I get a chance to harvest a trophy buck on my father-in-law’s land, should I take the shot or is it more respectful of his generosity to pass the and target a smaller buck or doe instead.

00:01:26
Speaker 2: I think you should just talk to the father-in-law and be like, listen, maybe he has management goals on the property. Maybe you just be like, hey, what would you.

00:01:38
Speaker 3: Be comfortable with me shooting here?

00:01:40
Speaker 1: That’s the right answer. What else do we have for Sam?

00:01:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would find out the lay of the land and the general expectations, but if he said, you know, shoot what you see, I wouldn’t hesitate.

00:01:53
Speaker 1: My guess is the father-in-law is not going to be like, listen here, Sam, we got 170 inch white tail living out there. You cannot shoot him. I don’t think that’s going to happen, Sam. Uh, but as those guys said, you should just talk to him ahead of time and be like, Hey, what, what are, uh, what am I okay to shoot out here? But if, and I bet, I bet since this is your first year, he’s going to be like, shoot, whatever makes you happy.

00:02:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:02:13
Speaker 4: If you get the, okay, if you get the, okay, don’t, play games with yourself and try to talk yourself out of it, thinking that your father-in-law is gonna sit you down 10 years down the road and say, you know, I really respected how you let that big buck pass when you first started hunting here.

00:02:27
Speaker 5: And then the neighbor shot it.

00:02:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. Maybe this is.

00:02:32
Speaker 5: A power trip. Like, it’s a test.

00:02:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:02:35
Speaker 7: He’s getting tested.

00:02:38
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:02:38
Speaker 8: I would tell him, if it’s his first deer, Like don’t go in there with overly high expectations. Like get your first deer.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

00:02:47
Speaker 9: Sounds very confident that he’s like, that’s the first thing he’s going to see.

00:02:51
Speaker 7: And that’s like it.

00:02:52
Speaker 5: Shoot the first buck that you would be happy with.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:02:56
Speaker 3: That’s, that’s a, maybe it’s like Pike County.

00:02:59
Speaker 1: Maybe he lives in the golden triangle and maybe there’s 180 inch deer behind every tree. You’re going to learn a lot. Sam, just talking to your father-in-law and I bet he’s a good father-in-law and he’s going to be like, Sam, you shoot whatever makes you happy. But also, you should know, Sam, that there’s a 175-inch 6×6 out there. That’s what he’s going to tell you. And then he’s going to put you in that stand to kill that one.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: If he’s a terrible father-in-law and you feel like this could be the only opportunity to.

00:03:23
Speaker 3: Hunt this property, I would shoot the big one.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: If you’re fixing to get divorced already, Sam, shoot the whopper that lives there. Any other advice for Sam?

00:03:34
Speaker 6: Have fun.

00:03:34
Speaker 3: Good luck.

00:03:35
Speaker 1: You got this, Sam.

00:03:36
Speaker 3: Wear your safety harness.

00:03:37
Speaker 1: All right, for housekeeping today, we have a very exciting new podcast to tell you about. It is called Gunfighters. And episode one is out right now. Reva has been working closely on this project. Reva, tell folks about Gunfighters.

00:03:52
Speaker 9: Yeah, fans of the show might be familiar with the episode, The Gunfighters, that Steve did when he interviewed Brian Burrow, the author.

00:03:59
Speaker 7: And then now.

00:04:01
Speaker 9: We created a whole podcast series around it. So… If you’re familiar with that episode or his book, The Gunfighters, he covers a lot of stories from in there and also stuff that’s not covered in there.

00:04:13
Speaker 6: Okay.

00:04:14
Speaker 1: Weekly drop, I assume. Yep. On Tuesdays, right?

00:04:18
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:04:19
Speaker 1: Episode one is out right now if you’re listening to this on the day that trivia drops.

00:04:23
Speaker 2: It is?

00:04:24
Speaker 9: You can find it anywhere you listen to or watch podcasts.

00:04:28
Speaker 1: Called Gunfighters.

00:04:29
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.

00:04:30
Speaker 1: Here’s another reason you should go listen to this. It’s going to be a great podcast. You’re going to love it. But also, if it does really well, then we get to do more episodes. And that means that me and Randall and Phil get to do more voice acting, which I think we all came to realize was our actual calling.

00:04:44
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:04:45
Speaker 1: Lots of Easter eggs in there. It was the most fun day I’ve had in the office, I think, this year.

00:04:52
Speaker 6: I wish I could remember the character that I played.

00:04:54
Speaker 1: Randall was supposed to be Wild Bill. And then I said, hey. Randall, I’ve got a Wild Bill tattoo. Can I pretty, pretty please be Wild Bill?

00:05:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:05:02
Speaker 1: I got to be Wild Bill.

00:05:03
Speaker 4: I remembered that, and then I couldn’t remember if you actually got your way or not.

00:05:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.

00:05:08
Speaker 1: Okay. So, Gunfighters, episode one.

00:05:10
Speaker 4: Scratch Wild Bill off the list of possible characters I played.

00:05:15
Speaker 1: Out right now. All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four and a half, so our winner should get nine correct answers. And with that, we’re on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

00:05:26
Speaker 6: Look, I’m… Need to know what I stand to win.

00:05:29
Speaker 1: Everything.

00:05:31
Speaker 6: How’s that?

00:05:32
Speaker 3: You stand to win everything.

00:05:40
Speaker 2: Game on, suckers!

00:05:42
Speaker 1: Question one. The topic is fishing, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these world records is biggest? Meanmouth bass, rock bass, white bass, spotted bass. You’ve got four bass to choose from. Which of those world records is the biggest? A mean mouth bass, a rock bass, a white bass, or a spotted bass? Which is biggest? Mean mouth, rock, white, spotted. A lot of guesses happening in here. Even Seth, who was the quickest to answer, took him a while. Which of these world records is biggest? Meanmouth bass, rock bass, white bass, spotted bass. Seth, do you agree with Randall?

00:06:36
Speaker 11: I do.

00:06:36
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:06:37
Speaker 2: Nice.

00:06:38
Speaker 1: I bet that makes Randall feel nice.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: That’s the only person in this room to whom I was looking for approval on that answer.

00:06:43
Speaker 6: That’s great.

00:06:44
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?

00:06:45
Speaker 3: It’s kind of torn between two.

00:06:48
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says meanmouth. Randall, meanmouth.

00:06:54
Speaker 6: Reva, meanmouth.

00:06:55
Speaker 1: Dane, rock bass. Alyssa, spotted bass. Brody, mean mouth bass. The correct answer is the mean mouth bass. A mean mouth is a hybrid between a small mouth and large mouth or spotted bass. The world record was caught in Oklahoma and weighed eight and a half pounds. The world record white bass is seven pounds. The world record rock bass is three pounds. And the world record spotted bass is two and a half.

00:07:23
Speaker 8: One of the man-made fish that Spencer loves so much.

00:07:26
Speaker 1: Man, I respect those hatchery bellies out there.

00:07:29
Speaker 6: Sorry, I wasn’t listening to any of that. It was mean mouth.

00:07:32
Speaker 1: It was mean mouth.

00:07:32
Speaker 3: What was the world record spot?

00:07:34
Speaker 1: Only two and a half. They just don’t get very big.

00:07:37
Speaker 3: Man, I would have thought it would be bigger than that.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: Tiny little things. Question two. The topic is hunting.

00:07:42
Speaker 3: That’s a cool fish.

00:07:43
Speaker 1: This next great question is via Luca Bedinelli. Name two of the three states with the most black-tailed deer. Great question here from Luca. Name two of the three states with the most black tail deer. Alyssa staring at a blank whiteboard. Hoping that they just appear. Seth, you got this one right.

00:08:13
Speaker 12: I don’t know.

00:08:19
Speaker 1: Name two of the three states with the most black tails. Randall and Brody still riding.

00:08:27
Speaker 6: It’s tricky.

00:08:30
Speaker 1: Randall, could you just get all three if you had to? No.

00:08:34
Speaker 6: I’m not sure of my two. I’m a wreck right now. If I had to name the top four states, I could do that.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: Looking for two of the top three with the most black tail.

00:08:53
Speaker 5: I’m uncertainly confident on this one.

00:08:55
Speaker 3: Okay. Wow.

00:08:57
Speaker 1: Uncertainly confident. Randall and Seth doing some comparing. Nope, Seth has declined. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Alaska, Washington. Randall, Alaska, California. Reva, South Dakota, Wyoming. Dane, Washington, Alaska. Alyssa, New Mexico, Washington. Brody, Alaska, California. The three states are Alaska, Oregon, and California. I think we only had two or three players. Alaska, Oregon, California.

00:09:39
Speaker 5: Washington has to be fourth.

00:09:41
Speaker 1: They are fourth. Alaska has the most blacktails in the country with an estimated population of 330,000. That’s followed by Oregon at 300,000. California at 250,000, Washington at 100,000, and Hawaii at 1,000. A few dozen blacktails were introduced to Hawaii for hunting in the 1960s, and their herd has been growing ever since. So Hawaii, a surprise fifth state. Question three, the topic is conservation. Journalists Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan won this type of prestigious award in 2013. for their expose on the most costly onshore oil spill in U.S. history. Brody, quick to answer. Journalists Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan won this type of prestigious award in 2013 for their expose on the most costly onshore oil spill in U.S. history. Randall, do you have this one right?

00:10:49
Speaker 6: I have a prestigious award. Okay.

00:10:53
Speaker 1: Brody looks like he does as well. And we have four blank whiteboards.

00:10:57
Speaker 3: In the room.

00:11:01
Speaker 1: Journalist Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan won this type of prestigious award in 2013 for their expose on the most costly onshore oil spill in U.S. history. Randall in a different seat today.

00:11:16
Speaker 6: Yes.

00:11:16
Speaker 1: See how that plays out?

00:11:18
Speaker 3: Yes.

00:11:18
Speaker 6: I needed to change something up.

00:11:21
Speaker 8: Who are you texting over there?

00:11:23
Speaker 6: Nothing.

00:11:25
Speaker 1: He’s been texting. He’s been whispering sweet nothings to Seth over here. He’s been doodling on his whiteboard. If there’s a man further removed from a trivia game, I haven’t seen him.

00:11:34
Speaker 4: Honestly, other than the reaction in the room, I had no idea what the answer to number one was. I didn’t listen to a word of it when you read the answer.

00:11:42
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: Hope you lose.

00:11:47
Speaker 1: I think maybe this is good. I think maybe I just need to be more removed. Okay. Journalists Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan won this type of prestigious award in 2013 for their expose on the most costly onshore oil spill in U.S.

00:12:07
Speaker 3: History.

00:12:07
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Reva? Okay, Reva’s making a quick change. We’ll give him this award if it doesn’t exist.

00:12:22
Speaker 6: I bet it’s a good award.

00:12:24
Speaker 1: Reva, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Environmental Impact Award. Randall says Pulitzer Prize. Reva, Mark Twain Award. Dane says World Journalism Award, Alyssa, Emmy, Brody, Pulitzer, the correct answer is a Pulitzer Prize.

00:12:44
Speaker 9: That makes more sense.

00:12:45
Speaker 1: Randall and Brody got that right. There are 15 Pulitzer Prizes given out each year that honor outstanding journalism work. Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan won theirs for reporting on the Dilbit disaster, which they called, quote, the biggest oil spill you’ve never heard of. It happened in 2010 in Michigan’s Kalamazoo River, which had millions of gallons of tar sands oil dumped into it. The disaster was shockingly underreported as national attention was focused on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill that occurred just a few months prior. That is how they got their Pulitzer covering the Kalamazoo River oil spill of 2010. Again, the most costly onshore oil spill in U.S.

00:13:31
Speaker 6: History.

00:13:31
Speaker 1: We’re on to question four. The topic is gear. This 10 letter word is defined as, quote, a small tool used by hunters to track air currents. It’s not a smartphone and that’s a 10 letter word, but that’s not what we’re looking for. This 10 letter word is defined as a small tool used by hunters to track air currents. Brody and Randall have locked in their answers. Brody, do you have this small tool?

00:14:08
Speaker 9: Maybe.

00:14:09
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:14:09
Speaker 1: Randall, do you have this small tool?

00:14:13
Speaker 6: Nope.

00:14:14
Speaker 10: Okay.

00:14:15
Speaker 1: Ten-letter word is defined as a small tool used by hunters to track air currents.

00:14:22
Speaker 6: We used it a lot in Austria.

00:14:25
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.

00:14:26
Speaker 6: Most attention I’ve paid to one of these small tools.

00:14:28
Speaker 1: I’d love to hear more about that.

00:14:30
Speaker 6: If it is what I’m thinking of, of course.

00:14:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: Seth, did you come up with the correct answer? Do you own this tool?

00:14:40
Speaker 3: If it is what I put down, yes.

00:14:44
Speaker 1: Okay. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the highlight, Randall, of when Tiger Woods was back in the 90s, golfing in his caddy to see the air currents would blow a puff of cigarette.

00:14:58
Speaker 8: Smoke into the air.

00:14:59
Speaker 1: He’d sit there and watch, and he’d say, Tiger, look.

00:15:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, that’s the old school… Al Conner’s way of tracking air currents.

00:15:06
Speaker 8: Randall still does that.

00:15:08
Speaker 12: Yeah.

00:15:09
Speaker 1: I thought that’s what you would tell us you guys did in Austria.

00:15:12
Speaker 6: No, we could have. That would have been fun. That would have been fun.

00:15:16
Speaker 1: Ten-letter word is defined as a small tool used by hunters to track air currents. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Windicator. Randall, Windicator. Reva, Windcluster. Windduster. Dane says Windchecker. Alyssa, without an answer. Brody, Windicator. The correct answer is the 10-letter Windicator.

00:15:44
Speaker 9: I have never known.

00:15:45
Speaker 1: It’s called a Windicator. No, you got it.

00:15:47
Speaker 9: I just know it as the wind checker thing.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: I know.

00:15:49
Speaker 5: It’s like a little pocket of dust.

00:15:51
Speaker 1: Windicators come in many shapes and forms. The most common is a small squeeze bottle that’s filled with an odorless talcum powder. Some newer Windicators are electronic and produce a puff of white smoke. And a favorite for Midwestern whitetail hunters is a zipper filled with strands of milkweed.

00:16:08
Speaker 4: The electronic ones that produce white smoke, is that just a vape pen?

00:16:12
Speaker 8: I mean, which cigarette brand works the best? Like Marlboro Reds?

00:16:16
Speaker 1: That would be a good test, Randall. Future YouTube video, Randall Test, which cigarette makes the best Windicators. It’s an American spirit.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: We used a lot of windicators when we were hunting roe deer. And the other thing that they did, which was cool, was they had like in the blinds, they had a string tied to a golf ball with a feather tied halfway.

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:16:37
Speaker 4: And so the feather would pivot around with the direction.

00:16:40
Speaker 3: Of the wind.

00:16:41
Speaker 1: Isn’t that a thing that like some long distance shooters will do is tie a little bit of ribbon on their scope that they can see?

00:16:47
Speaker 6: No, not on your scope.

00:16:48
Speaker 12: I mean, on some ranges, they’ll have ribbons at different distances.

00:16:52
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:16:52
Speaker 4: So you can see what the wind is doing throughout the trajectory of the bullet.

00:16:56
Speaker 6: Windicator.

00:16:57
Speaker 1: Question five. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Carter Ullman. Lindsay Lohan eagerly tells her future stepmom that trout will be served for breakfast and dinner while on a camping trip in this 1998 film. Phil, would you get this one right?

00:17:21
Speaker 7: This might be one of the only ones I would get right this game.

00:17:23
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan eagerly tells her future stepmom that trout will be served.

00:17:29
Speaker 8: For breakfast and dinner. I don’t know why, but I think I do.

00:17:32
Speaker 1: While on a camping trip in this 1998 film.

00:17:37
Speaker 7: We know what Brody’s ass time is.

00:17:38
Speaker 8: I have never seen a movie with Lindsay Lohan in.

00:17:41
Speaker 6: It, to be clear.

00:17:42
Speaker 1: Mean Girls?

00:17:44
Speaker 8: I think I’ve got it.

00:17:45
Speaker 12: I guess that’s not the answer then.

00:17:49
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan. eagerly tells her future stepmom that Trout will be served for breakfast and dinner while on a camping trip in this 1998 film. The stepmom does not like that answer. That’s why Lindsay is so excited to say.

00:18:05
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, what is it called?

00:18:09
Speaker 1: Carter, who wrote in with this question, said a lot of girl dads will get this one right. Do you know this one, Alyssa?

00:18:18
Speaker 11: No, I do not.

00:18:19
Speaker 1: Alissa, do you think, or excuse me, Reva, do you think you know this one?

00:18:22
Speaker 9: I could tell you the entire plot.

00:18:24
Speaker 6: Wow.

00:18:24
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:18:27
Speaker 7: Can I tell you the title? Not at this moment.

00:18:30
Speaker 8: You weren’t here last week or whenever when Randall just blurted out the answer in the middle of the show.

00:18:36
Speaker 1: How did we handle that? Phil, did that get bleeped?

00:18:40
Speaker 4: No, it didn’t bleep that or the four-letter word that I said in the immediate aftermath.

00:18:45
Speaker 3: It was too funny. Come on.

00:18:48
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan. Eagerly tells her future stepmom that trout will be served for breakfast and dinner while on a camping trip in this 1998 film. This is question five. We have two Mountain Dew questions of the week after this, and then we’ll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer. Reba, do you give up? I don’t want to give up. Okay. Randall, do you give up?

00:19:13
Speaker 6: Does everybody else have an answer?

00:19:15
Speaker 7: It’s a remake.

00:19:16
Speaker 1: Oh, wow.

00:19:17
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:19:17
Speaker 5: There’s an old version?

00:19:18
Speaker 1: There’s some hints.

00:19:19
Speaker 8: Come on, come on. Randall knows his movies.

00:19:22
Speaker 1: He doesn’t have an answer. Randall intimately knows Lindsay Lohan’s filmography, so you may have just given it to him.

00:19:29
Speaker 9: Mm-mm.

00:19:29
Speaker 6: No, he’s stumped.

00:19:32
Speaker 1: Mm-mm.

00:19:33
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:19:33
Speaker 1: Randall, I think it’s time to reveal.

00:19:34
Speaker 8: You know, Seth, I like that hat a lot.

00:19:38
Speaker 1: Is that Casey Underwood?

00:19:39
Speaker 3: That’s a good one. Oh, yeah, it’s Casey Underwood.

00:19:41
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says parent trap. Randall and Reva without an answer. Dane says cheaper by the dozen too. Alyssa says parent trap. Brody says freaky Friday. The correct answer is The Parent Trap. Dang it!

00:20:03
Speaker 3: Yes!

00:20:03
Speaker 12: Well, we know what movie Brody likes. Is she a twin in that movie?

00:20:08
Speaker 3: She is a twin.

00:20:09
Speaker 6: That’s all I could think about.

00:20:10
Speaker 1: She’s her own twin.

00:20:11
Speaker 12: I was thinking of Sister, Sister, but that’s not the same movie.

00:20:13
Speaker 1: Wait, what was the other actress’s name?

00:20:16
Speaker 8: They’re both played by Lindsay Lohan.

00:20:17
Speaker 6: She plays both of the girls.

00:20:18
Speaker 1: I know, but who’s the other actress? In Freaky Friday?

00:20:21
Speaker 6: No, that’s Jamie Lee Curtis.

00:20:22
Speaker 1: Dennis Quaid is in Parent Trap.

00:20:24
Speaker 8: No, I’m saying, who are the two that you just said in the question.

00:20:29
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan.

00:20:30
Speaker 6: And the stepmom.

00:20:32
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan eagerly tells her future stepmom, who plays her future stepmom, Phil?

00:20:36
Speaker 8: Oh, I thought you said the stepmom’s name. Forget it.

00:20:40
Speaker 7: Well, Natasha Richardson plays her real mom. I don’t remember who plays the stepmom.

00:20:43
Speaker 1: The twin sisters, who are both played by Lindsay Lohan, spend a camping trip pranking their dad’s fiance in an effort to get her to call off the engagement. The twins put a lizard in her hair, replace her bug spray with sugar water, put rocks in her backpack, and finally drag her air mattress into the lake while she’s sleeping on it. This antic works, which gets Meredith to give her fiance an ultimatum. It’s either her or the twins. And we’re looking at the movie poster here. We are seeing Dennis Quaid kiss his ex-wife, not his fiance on the movie poster. So if you’re wondering how it ends.

00:21:21
Speaker 6: Kind of a spoiler.

00:21:23
Speaker 1: I mean, a big spoiler from the movie poster.

00:21:25
Speaker 9: I couldn’t think of anything other than double trouble.

00:21:28
Speaker 8: Didn’t she become like a Hollywood bad girl?

00:21:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, she had a troubled coming of age.

00:21:33
Speaker 7: She kind of dug her way out of it a little bit.

00:21:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess so.

00:21:37
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on Lindsay Lohan, Phil? Or the Parent Trap.

00:21:40
Speaker 7: Parent Trap rules.

00:21:40
Speaker 3: This movie holds up. I love it so much.

00:21:42
Speaker 13: What about, have you seen the old one? Because the old one’s like from the 60s or 70s, right? This is one of the ones where my mom was like, well, you gotta watch the original. And I think I was just, you know, I was like, old movie is old. But I think it’s good. But I’ve seen this movie a dozen times. I think it’s great.

00:21:55
Speaker 1: Reba, do you have a review of the Parent Trap for us that you couldn’t come up with, but you knew it?

00:22:01
Speaker 5: A review?

00:22:02
Speaker 9: I think it’s fantastic.

00:22:03
Speaker 1: It’s, yeah, it’s a classic.

00:22:05
Speaker 9: It was before she went downhill.

00:22:08
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:22:09
Speaker 1: I mean, she’s like 12 years old, so yeah.

00:22:12
Speaker 6: She’s back.

00:22:13
Speaker 3: She’s back, guys.

Speaker 6: I was dying.

00:24:37
Speaker 1: Brody got that wrong.

00:24:37

Their name comes from Native Americans comparing the nut to the eye of a deer with a dark, glossy appearance that has a light center. It’s considered lucky to carry a Buckeye in your pocket with folklore saying it’ll bring you good fortune, good wealth, and good wisdom.

00:26:21
Speaker 3: You got one, Randall?

00:26:22
Speaker 6: No, I don’t.

00:26:23
Speaker 2: Do you ever have the Buckeye that’s a little dessert treat?

00:26:26
Speaker 6: That’s what I was going to bring up.

00:26:28
Speaker 2: It’s like a peanut butter fudge ball that you dip most of the way in chocolate.

00:26:33
Speaker 6: Okay.

00:26:33
Speaker 1: So it’s all chocolate, but with a little brown. And you guys approve of them.

R3, which refers to increased participation in the outdoors stands for blank, blank and blank. R3, which stands for, which refers to increased participation in the outdoors, stands for blank, blank, and blank. Alyssa, the quickest answer. Alyssa, you got this one right?

00:27:25
Speaker 8: No.

00:27:25
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:27:27
Speaker 12: I don’t know.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: Randall, do you have this one right?

00:27:30
Speaker 6: I think so.

00:27:31
Speaker 1: What does R3 stand for? Brody’s pulled his hat way down, his thinking cap. He’s doing a lot of thinking. R3, which refers to increased participation in the outdoors, stands for blank, blank, and blank.

00:27:53
Speaker 9: My answer can’t be right. The only thing that’s coming to mind is everything else is just drowning. How close am I, Randall?

00:28:02
Speaker 1: I don’t know.

00:28:04
Speaker 6: Not close at all.

00:28:05
Speaker 8: Perfect. They got to be in order.

00:28:08
Speaker 1: Do not have to be in order.

00:28:10
Speaker 6: Pretty confident. If it’s wrong, it’s because I got the wrong variations of.

00:28:16
Speaker 6: I’ve got the three.

00:28:17
Speaker 1: Seth, do you have this?

00:28:20
Speaker 3: I got two of them.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: This is right.

00:28:27
Speaker 6: We’re pulling for you, Alyssa.

00:28:28
Speaker 8: That third one is just a son of a gun.

00:28:30
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready?

00:28:31
Speaker 5: Nope.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: Seth, he’s got two of the three, he says. Trying to come up with a third R word.

00:28:39
Speaker 8: Do we accept synonyms?

00:28:42
Speaker 1: Um, no.

00:28:47
Speaker 6: That’s a nice shirt, Spencer. Thank you. It’s a First Light one.

00:28:52
Speaker 1: Firstlight.com.

00:28:54
Speaker 6: I haven’t seen it before. It was a genuine compliment.

00:28:59
Speaker 3: Good job, Randall.

00:29:01
Speaker 6: I’m trying to give people more compliments.

00:29:04
Speaker 1: Seth, how you doing on that third R?

00:29:05
Speaker 3: I’m not doing good.

00:29:07
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says, recruit, retain. Randall, recruitment, retention, reactivation. Reva, rifle, rafting, and river boating.

00:29:22
Speaker 3: That’s great.

00:29:23
Speaker 1: Dane says, recreation, respect, rules. Alyssa, reduce, reuse, recycle. Those are great. Brody says, recruit, re-engage, retain. It’s all the same thing. The three R’s are recruit, retention and reactivation did uh randall got that right we’re not going to give it to you brody i’m sorry you were close okay it’s the three r’s means the same means the same thing retention reactivation not according to the scoreboard The R3 initiative has been widely adopted by outdoor organizations from state game agencies to gun ownership advocacy groups. Recruitment is for attracting new users. Retention is for keeping current users. And reactivation is for re-engaging users who have drifted away.

00:30:13
Speaker 8: It’s for what now?

00:30:14
Speaker 1: Re-engaging users who have drifted away. Excuse me?

00:30:19
Speaker 2: Oh, man.

00:30:19
Speaker 8: Your answer is my answer, but my answer is not right.

00:30:23
Speaker 1: I’m going to Google, Brody, see if I can find any R3 that says re-engage versus reactivate if I can. We’ll give you that point. For now, we’re on to question eight.

00:30:34
Speaker 12: Don’t Google R3 re-engagement. You just have to Google R3.

00:30:38
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:30:39
Speaker 6: And only go through two pages of results.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: Don’t bother.

00:30:43
Speaker 1: Just the AI page. We’re on to question eight. The topic is cooking. This brand has been called the Kleenex and Band-Aid of slow cookers. This brand has been called the Kleenex and Band-Aid of slow cookers.

00:31:07
Speaker 2: That’s what I got, too.

00:31:13
Speaker 6: It’s almost slow cooker season.

00:31:17
Speaker 9: I know.

00:31:17
Speaker 1: I made my first chili of the year. I made some.

00:31:20
Speaker 6: Chili Colorado this weekend.

00:31:21
Speaker 1: It’s contagious.

00:31:23
Speaker 5: Delicious.

00:31:24
Speaker 6: I had it for lunch today, too.

00:31:26
Speaker 11: What is that?

00:31:27
Speaker 5: What makes it Colorado?

00:31:30
Speaker 4: It’s just like, Colorado means red, right? Chunks of, yeah, it’s like chunks of elk in a big red sauce. The sauce isn’t big, it’s just red.

00:31:41
Speaker 5: Isn’t it pork?

00:31:42
Speaker 6: Chunks of pork?

00:31:43
Speaker 12: I think you can do it with other things, but mine was with elk, yeah.

00:31:46
Speaker 3: You gotta see this sauce, it’s huge.

00:31:48
Speaker 6: It’s huge, it’s one of the bigger sauces out there.

00:31:52
Speaker 1: This brand has been called the Kleenex and Band-Aid of slow cookers. Brody, I’m trying to help you. I can’t find re-engage.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: It’s okay.

00:32:04
Speaker 8: Your answer is my answer, but my answer is not right.

00:32:08
Speaker 1: Yes.

00:32:09
Speaker 5: It’s just the definition of the word.

00:32:12
Speaker 6: Very close, though.

00:32:13
Speaker 1: Not going to give you the point. We’re at question eight. We’re going to get another scoreboard update after this. This brand has been called the Kleenex and Band-Aid of slow cookers. I see five confident players and Brody, who just came up with his answer. Do you have this one right, Brody?

00:32:27
Speaker 3: I don’t know. 50-50.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: Revo, are you ready? Dane, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We’ve got the whole room saying Crock-Pot. The whole room got it right. It’s Crock-Pot.

00:32:39
Speaker 6: Since the pot was a real.

00:32:41
Speaker 1: Despite Crock-Pot being a brand, it’s often interchangeably used with slow cooker, similar to Kleenex and tissue or Band-Aid and bandage. Although Crock-Pot didn’t create the slow cooker, they did popularize it after acquiring the inventor’s company in 1970.

00:33:00
Speaker 6: No, I didn’t mean to do that. I thought I had the cap on my marker.

00:33:04
Speaker 1: Did you just lick a little marker?

00:33:05
Speaker 7: He just went like this.

00:33:07
Speaker 1: I didn’t get that on camera.

00:33:09
Speaker 8: Don’t worry about it.

00:33:10
Speaker 12: Phil, you had one job.

00:33:13
Speaker 7: I was scorekeeping. I’ve got like four jobs.

00:33:15
Speaker 6: You’ve overlooked my.

00:33:16
Speaker 12: Physical comedy, which is also part of my.

00:33:20
Speaker 1: Phil’s sixth job is keeping score. We’re going to get a scoreboard update right now.

00:33:26
Speaker 7: Dane’s got himself two points now. Alyssa and Riva have climbed up to three. Then in third place is Seth Morris with five. In second place is Brody Henderson with six. And Williams is in first place with seven points.

00:33:40
Speaker 3: Alyssa wants to dispute.

00:33:42
Speaker 7: No one’s ever correctly, successfully disputed, but you can try.

00:33:47
Speaker 1: She got Crockpot. She got Ohio. Parent Trap.

00:33:53
Speaker 3: What else?

00:33:55
Speaker 6: Oh, I had one before the break.

00:33:56
Speaker 8: Sorry, Phil, I’m wrong.

00:33:58
Speaker 7: One more for Phil.

00:33:59
Speaker 1: All right, Phil’s today’s goal is undefeated.

00:34:04
Speaker 9: I thought it was two before the first cut.

00:34:06
Speaker 6: Like a boss.

00:34:08
Speaker 2: Like a boss, Phil.

00:34:09
Speaker 1: Question nine, the topic is fishing. This piece of gear is defined as, quote, a floating plastic or foam device that clips to your fishing line to pull your bait or lure outward and and away from your boat while trolling. It’s not a bobber. Don’t say it’s a bobber. This piece of gear is defined as a floating plastic or foam device that clips to your fishing line to pull your bait or lure outward and away from your boat while trolling. Seth, do you own this piece of gear?

00:34:46
Speaker 2: No.

00:34:47
Speaker 1: Brody, you definitely own this piece of gear.

00:34:49
Speaker 3: I do.

00:34:50
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:34:51
Speaker 8: Randall?

00:34:52
Speaker 1: I’m guessing it’s a no.

00:34:53
Speaker 6: I don’t even know that I have this right. Okay. I feel like I’m in the neighborhood, but I can’t guarantee it.

00:35:01
Speaker 1: A piece of gear is defined as a floating plastic or foam device that clips to your fishing line to pull your bait or lure outward and away from your boat while trolling.

00:35:10
Speaker 6: I want to sit with my uncertainty for a while, Seth.

00:35:13
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:35:14
Speaker 1: Seth, I’m surprised you don’t have just one of these in your boat.

00:35:17
Speaker 3: I did, but I gave them all to Chester.

00:35:19
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Good for you.

00:35:21
Speaker 6: He’s a good guy.

00:35:23
Speaker 3: R.I.P.

00:35:25
Speaker 12: I just saw him.

00:35:26
Speaker 3: Oh, that’s good. I just fished with him for a week.

00:35:28
Speaker 1: To be clear, he’s alive.

00:35:29
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:35:30
Speaker 1: He just doesn’t work immediately anymore.

00:35:31
Speaker 2: Chester and I had the best week of smallmouth fishing we’ve ever experienced.

00:35:35
Speaker 3: In our life. Tell me more.

00:35:36
Speaker 12: Bad walleye fishing.

00:35:37
Speaker 1: What state?

00:35:38
Speaker 3: Montana. Okay. That’s it.

00:35:40
Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Give me some numbers. Size, quantity.

00:35:45
Speaker 2: Well, our best five-fish bag was just over 23 pounds.

00:35:50
Speaker 10: Damn.

00:35:53
Speaker 3: But we just found a school of, like, over 100 smallies.

00:35:57
Speaker 1: And they were hungry right now.

00:35:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, we caught so many. It was very fun.

00:36:02
Speaker 6: That was during the work week.

00:36:03
Speaker 3: No giants, but 23 pounds isn’t bad.

00:36:06
Speaker 6: That was between Monday and Friday.

00:36:07
Speaker 3: That was, yeah. It was a work trip.

00:36:09
Speaker 6: That’s nice.

00:36:11
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Set says planer board. Randall planer board, Riva floater, Dane Bowie, Alyssa without an answer, Brody planer board. They got it. The correct answer is a planer board. Planer boards are used by anglers targeting walleye, salmon, trout, stripers, and crappie. Their purpose is to allow trolling anglers to fish with extra lines. Sometimes this is done to maximize the amount of rods one vessel can use, while other times Anglers want to fish multiple depths or get their lure away from the boat if in shallow water there is a rudimentary drawing of what a planer board would do for you.

00:36:55
Speaker 2: Oh, that’s some frustrating fishing when you get all that shit tangled up.

00:36:59
Speaker 3: It is.

00:37:00
Speaker 10: It is.

00:37:01
Speaker 1: And then especially if you like go through a snag or something and you got multiple.

00:37:04
Speaker 7: I was going to ask, is something like that ever worth it, Seth?

00:37:07
Speaker 8: Not for me, but people love to do it. Then you, like, hook, like, a 14-incher on that damn thing, and the board weighs more than the fish does.

00:37:18
Speaker 1: All right, here’s a correct answer review so far. One was meanmouth bass. Two, Alaska, California, Oregon. Three, Pulitzer Prize. Four, Windicator. Five, The Parent Trap. Six, Ohio. Seven, recruitment, retention, reactivation. Eight, crockpot. Nine, planar board. Phil, scoreboard update.

00:37:40
Speaker 7: It’s down to Randall and Brody. We have eight and seven points, respectively.

00:37:46
Speaker 1: Question 10. The topic is hunting. This next great question is from Chris Medveds. In the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Survey, code M-A-L-L stands for mallard, W-O-D-U stands for wood duck, and N-O-P-I stands for blank blank. Brody has it, but Randall is also writing an answer. If Randall can get this one right, he will secure the victory. But if he gets it wrong and Brody gets it right, then we’ll go to overtime. In the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Survey, code M-A-L-L stands for mallard, W-O-D-U stands for wood duck, and N-O-P-I stands for blank blank. randall do you have two words written down i do okay do you think.

00:38:47
Speaker 4: They’re right i don’t know it’s about as good of guess as i have but then seth made weird eye contact i did hear kind of a smirk i noticed how we i noticed how we ended with fishing and then birds.

00:39:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah we’re out to get you after that ohio buckeye question yeah N-O-P-I stands for blank blank.

00:39:14
Speaker 8: Quit pretending it’s hard.

00:39:17
Speaker 12: That’s got me all twisted up.

00:39:20
Speaker 8: Follow the pattern.

00:39:26
Speaker 5: Does everyone have this?

00:39:28
Speaker 9: I have an answer.

00:39:30
Speaker 3: Randall has one of those too.

00:39:33
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Northern Pintail. Randall says Northern Pintail. Reva says Northern Pigeon. Dane, northern pintail. Alyssa without an answer. Brody, northern pintail. The correct answer is the northern pintail.

00:39:55
Speaker 3: I was just making you sweat.

00:39:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, well done.

00:39:57
Speaker 3: You did.

00:39:58
Speaker 1: Each species in the survey is given a four-letter code. Most of them are obvious, but a few require some explanation. For example, Canada goose is T-C-A-G, and light goose is T-L-T-G. That T at the beginning represents total Canada geese or total light geese. and doesn’t split them into subspecies. All right, Randall is today’s winner with nine points. He got the Shelby Index right on the nose. What are you gonna do with that $ 500 donation?

00:40:27
Speaker 3: He’s checking his DMs.

00:40:31
Speaker 1: Didn’t consider he could be the winner.

00:40:34
Speaker 4: I wanna say the organization is called the mobile bay keepers i’ll find the exact name of it.

00:40:40
Speaker 10: At some point down the road to do with a jubilee yeah because one of my favorite questions that you’ve asked spencer had to do with jubilees and i didn’t know what a jubilee was and they just had a jubilee they did.

00:40:51
Speaker 4: Uh i got people in mobile and they they let me know they sent me some sent me some photos looked like a wild time and I can’t stop thinking about it.

00:41:00
Speaker 6: So let’s send this money to, I believe it’s the Baykeepers.

00:41:03
Speaker 3: You’re right.

00:41:04
Speaker 1: It’s the Mobile Baykeepers protecting Alabama’s coastal waters. So now Randall can catch an invite to go join the Jubilee.

00:41:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just got to get that private aviation.

00:41:14
