Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Corey, John, Marge, Max, Nate and Sarah. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's for verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We have an IFA queue this week. If you have an IFA queue, send it to trivia at the Meat Eater dot com with the subject line IFA queue. Skyler Brammer says, I would get discouraged losing all the time to Brody and Randall. Did the jabronis get said? No. Never considered outplaying. No. No. Very frustrated. It's a nice break from the other work at the office. You just gotta have fun with it and embrace the jabroniness. Well, it's only jabronis here today. So there is no Brody or Randall to lose to. Here's a question. What if you were to win the like jabroni championship? Like Corey. Corey, does he get an invite to the real championship? Yeah, yeah, I think so. And then what if he won the real championship? Well, then he's not at jabroni anymore. It's kind of like that. What was that soccer team that did that? It's like Premier League soccer, like you get relegated to lose. Ted Lasso. Yeah. Don't know that is. I don't think that's soccer. Also according to Nate, there will be blood is quote, whack. I'd watch like his go watch it if you haven't seen it. Nate came in with a real jabroni take this morning, telling Phil that he didn't like that movie. No, I didn't say that at all. I enjoyed it, but it was whack. OK, but it was whack. So six jabronis in the room today, no Brody or Randall to defeat them. And we have some housekeeping on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about what item fur companies will trade for deer hides. The correct answer was gloves, but a few listeners wrote in saying they know of businesses that will do the exchange for a knife instead of gloves. And the day we played, Marge said knife, but did not get credit for a correct answer. So we're fixing that today. Marge, you got that one right for saying knife. Well done. Great. I still lost. But you got one more extra point. I did two weeks removed. Some more housekeeping. Also, we have a brand new game over on the media website. On Mondays, we have meat eater turtle. It's like wordable better. On Wednesdays, we have meat eater crossword puzzles. And now on Fridays, we have. Meat eater word search. Word search might sound elementary, but I think it is the hardest we have between all three games. Because unlike most word searches, we don't tell you what words you're searching for. We just tell you the theme of the words and it's your job to find them. The first three word searches are available on our website right now. The theme of the first one is fishing lures. The second one is Boone and Crockett, White Tail States. And the third one is birds. So, for example, you know that you're searching for the top five Boone and Crockett, White Tail States in the grid of letters, but we don't tell you what those states are. We always provide crew member scores for you to go head to head with. For crosswords, it's Randall for turtle, it's Yanis. And for word search, it's Nate. So head over to the meat eater dot com slash games to check out word search and see if you can best Nate Mason. New games drop three times a week. How's it been, Nate? It's hard. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. Cool. I can see how long folks spend playing the each individual game. Word search takes people the most amount of time to finish. Yeah, I can see that. So Nate is being a good guinea pig for us. And he's volunteering his score out there every week for people to go and destroy and say, haha, Nate. Yeah. Better than you. It's scary. It's scary. I don't care about the strangers, but I care about my older brother. Yeah. You're going to be here with a family. Dude, we we have so many ongoing. Yeah. So Nate, Nate has played the first ones, fishing, lures, boon and Crockett, White Hill states and birds. Which one was the hardest between those three? Oh. Fishing, lures, boon and Crockett, White Hill states. If anyone knows about my knowledge, the fishing lures was tough. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's a hard one for me. Yeah. I bet fishing lures and birds were the toughest because there's only like 50 states to choose from. Sure. But the problem is you get stuck. You're like, OK, I think, you know, I think Indiana or what a fill in a state is a boon and Crockett state. And so you're looking for Indiana. It's not. And then turns out it's not. And then that's it's tricky, dude. It's tricky. So we are now giving you a lot of ways to kill time at that desk job. You really hate. Go over to themedeter.com slash games. New games showing up Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Shelby Index for today is a three. So we're. Oh, wow. I think you guys have it in you. I think you'll do well. I'm going to win now. Look at these. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. It's kind of like my header. Max has put on Brody's glasses. I'm going to send him a picture. Just time to win everything. Game on, suckers. What's that doing to your eyesight over there? Max, it's not helping. Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and this will be multiple choice. When is the windiest part of a day? Is it morning, middle of the day, evening or middle of the night? Hmm. When is the windiest part of a day? Your four choices. Morning, middle of the day, evening, middle of the night. I got to take a better photo for Brody. Max has some readers that were attached to Brody's microphone, pushed all the way down to the end of his nose. Question one, when is the windiest part of a day? Morning, middle of the day, evening, middle of the night. Are our Gibranis ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says evening, Corey, middle of the day, Sarah, middle of the day. John, morning, Max, middle of the night, Marge, middle of the day. The correct answer is middle of the day. Three of our Gibranis, Corey, Sarah and Marge got that one right. The afternoon is windiest because the sun heats the ground, which causes warm air to rise and create turbulence. This process is called vertical mixing, which draws strong winds from higher altitudes down to the surface. Then at night, the ground cools and the air stabilizes. Winds are typically strongest on sunny days. I think I've lived in Bozeman for seven years now. We are in the windiest two week stretch. It's unbelievable. My life here. Have you guys lost anything in these winds? Reference, we had 90 mile an hour winds in the valley the other day. If you guys lost anything important. A grill cover. A grill cover? Oh, Sarah, you lost a grill cover as well. I lost a grill cover, yeah. Dang, I had a neighbor lose a trampoline. Oh, like gone, gone, or has it been found? It was found, but it went over the fence into the neighbor's yard and crashed into their shit. That's for real. So they might owe some money. Yeah, my kids' basketball hoop isn't round anymore. Like egg shaped fell over. Hit the concrete. Yeah, there is. It was it also happened on recycling day. Oh, I did try taking our bin out to the to the curb, but other folks did. And so now there's just recycling. I saw a post in Ask Bozeman. That was my neighborhood. Ask Bozeman Facebook. Someone was like, someone needs to take their all their trash out. They dumped it all over the yard. That was our local celebrity in Bozeman. 75 miles an hour. Yeah, that's our local influencer. That that was in my head. Created some good drama. I don't remember. I'll show you. I remember what I was able to show you afterwards. I should say names on the air. That's really good. Scratch that. There will be no scratching of anything. No censorship. Question. Just follow hipsters. You'll know. Marge Marge made an appearance on hipsters. A bozeman back in the day. Years ago. Here you go. I think I was in the first 20 months. Chester gets called out all the time. They like Chester. They like Chester. I always get a little worried wearing like first light camouflage out in town. Oh, yeah. Every once in a while there's someone like two guys at a street corner wearing like camouflage puffies. Sure. Just don't be wearing a cowboy hat. Marge, what were you wearing when they when they got you? I had it's typically about what your outfit is. That's like what they're looking for. I had white platform Doc Martens on, which probably were the dead giveaway. Fresh high rise like car heart looking pants and then just like a t-shirt. Marge is just too stylish. I don't know. It wasn't. I think it was the boots. They were cool. Yeah. Kind of on a style now. Not the haters hate. I know. I felt honored. There you go. Question two. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which is won by Daniel Nichols for sending this great question. Daniel is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the weeks and send then send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Oh, badger dog. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to quote badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Our Bronies look stomped except for Sarah. She already has an answer. Sarah, do you have an answer with nine letters? It does have nine letters. I think it's misspelled, but it's I think right. Mom, shout out Leslie terrified of these dogs. All right. There's a hint if you know Sarah's family. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Sarah, the only jabroni with an answer so far. Nine letter name. I'm just, I can't think of five dog names right now. Same. Dog guy max. Yeah. But I just can't. It's I don't know if this glasses or just the pressure. Corey, do you have an answer you like? Yeah, I think it's pretty good. Okay. Spelled correctly. Two of our jabroni are feeling confident. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. How cool. Mm hmm. There's a great book that talks about the American Kennel Club like dog shows. They go through like breed history and conformity and all that. If you're a dog nerd, it's a good one to read. The AKC is who helped me write this flavor text today. They know some things about dogs. How you doing, Max? Those glasses could be a little thicker. Is not working. Can we get a large? Throw it against the door. We got a couple more markers there. This one's not much better. There we go. Okay. I know when it's good. I know when you're when you say the correct answer, I'm just like, why didn't I think of that? I think my uncle has one. Yes. Okay. This one doesn't work either. Oh, no. Throw it. We need another replacement. We need another replacement. Oh, we need a basketball. Who's that? Oh, sorry, Max. Really helping that concentration. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Corey and Sarah are coming out of the gate hot. They think they're going to be two questions correct. I got a nine letter dog. Okay. Do you think it could be a dog that was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground? It's definitely right. Right. But a lot of you racing. I think that's a lot of added letters. John, Max and Nate are stumped. You boys give up yet? Yeah. Yeah. Nate's uncle is going to be disappointed at him. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate without an answer. Corey says, Rottweiler. Sarah says, Doxon. John without an answer. Max says, Shih Tzu. Maggie says, Schnauzer. Schnauzer. It's why they're so small. The correct answer is Doxon. I knew it. Sarah. Got one right. That's why they're the shape they are. Even though they don't hunt badgers anymore, they're long and skinny because people used to pull them out of fire tails. Germans started to shape the Doxon breed in the late 17th century. Their goal was to create a dog that's low to the ground, has a long rib cage, and has a well-hinged jaw with large teeth. The Doxon's job was to chase badgers into their dens and then drag them back to the surface. But what made those first Doxons such good hunters also made them difficult to train, as one early breeder said, Doxon's even disobey me when I instruct them to do something they want to do. Does your uncle have a Doxon? No, it's my godmother. She's got like four of them and they helped to pee all over her ass. Love you, Antivicky. They're just as honoured as those OG Doxons that were hunting badgers. Question three, the topic is fishing. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. The Jibronis have their swagger back. Max likes his answer. John is quick to answer. Corey has an answer. I bet Shelby got this one right. She did not get this one right. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. I know we've moved on, but Spencer asked me to show this picture. Oh, yes. There's one of those OG little badger hunters. I love the beard on them. Me too. I haven't seen one with the beard. Yeah, I like that. Being an old black and white photo like that, now I'm like, okay, that looks like a badger hunter. They would go toe to toe. I love them large. Yeah, they soften over time. They're a lot tougher than the current breed. I don't donate that answer. I feel like Brody's constantly like this the whole time, like looking at you. Brody stared down. I feel like his neck would start hurting. I was looking down. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. Max, do you like Marge's answer? I'd love it. Is everybody ready? We share an office. My bro. I'm gonna throw in the off. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Nate says Jupiter. The rest of the room says Mercury. They got it. The correct answer is Mercury Marine. Boys, oh, did you put her to get more stupid? The company was originally called Thor Outdoors. She was friends with us. Later changed to Mercury Marine. Brand Skyrocketed during World War II when they designed the best chainsaw on the market and won a government contract to produce them for the army. Their chainsaws were able to cut through a 24-inch log in 17 seconds, with the closest competitor being at 52 seconds. Amazing. Damn. Fun fact. Question four, the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Adam Smith. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. So we're looking for the name of the state. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. Max already has his answer. Max, do you have this one right? Yes, I do. I can't beat that one. I feel like since he's got it, it's like a hint. That's the game I'm playing. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. I'm going to take that hint too. Wow. I'm playing the how-well-do-know Max Barton. Yeah. Okay. I assume there's a reason Max knows this. Now it's influencing some answers in the room. I want to give everyone a hint. Yeah, do it. Stop talking. But I'm not gonna, because I'm losing. It's a competitive game. This is question four. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. Hmm. Corey, how do you like your answer? I don't at all. It's not good. When they played the video game, I don't remember where they were going. I love that game. Well, they were going to Oregon. At the end. Presumably. Yeah. But what passes through? Where were they? Where's the trail? I can see it. The Oregon Trail. Just not interposed on the map. Well, Chimney Rock. Time's up, Spencer. Forgive me, but they passed through multiple states, right? Multiple. Yeah. We're trying to narrow this one. They could have started in Oregon. There's Chimney Rocks all over the place. There's only one Chimney Rock. I guess I've called. All right, time's up, Spencer. Corey, do you give up? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. The answer is right there. South Dakota. Corey says Nevada. Sarah, North Dakota. John, South Dakota. Max, Nebraska. Marge, South Dakota. The correct answer is Nebraska. Max and only Max got that one right. Good job, Max. And there is a map of Nebraska on our wall about eight feet in the air. Can you read that? No, Scott's block is like on the western side. Yeah, there's like 20,000 people who live there. Why do you know about Nebraska? I spent a lot of time in Scotts Bluff. Hotten. Hotten. And they just had like a true crime thing play out there at Scotts Bluff National Monument where a dead body turned up of a dude who like walked away from a family gathering. People suspected the in-laws. They've ruled it an accident. Anyway, that just all played out a few weeks ago. The Oregon Trail goes through six states, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon. The trail enters Nebraska from Kansas following the Little Blue River until it hits the Platte River. It was here that travelers would encounter thousands of bison, which gave them fresh meat to eat and buffalo chips to burn. Question five. The topic is biology. This four-letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. These glasses are working. Okay. Max thinks he's got two in a row. This is going to be three in a row. Three in a row. Okay. We're going to get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer at this. I think in beer pong you call that on fire. That's right. He was heating up. Heating up. Now he's on fire. You got to throw him the ball back. Throw him the ball back. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Throw him the ball back. Throw him the ball back. This four-letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Max has now passed the glasses to Nate. No, he's got to keep them low. Yeah. See if the power is indeed in the lenses. Max likes his answer. John, do you have this one right? I think so. Sarah, do you have this one right? I do. Marge, do you have this one right? Yeah. It's my office mate. Four of our Gabronis say they have this one. I'm just going to give myself a point right now. Nate are not as confident. Easy, bud. Easy. Four-letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Corey and Nate. It's not a gizzard. Nope. That's too many letters. That's what I thought and then counted them. It's a giz. Some people call me giz. I was gonna say it's hard. Is this the colloquial term? Oh. For giz. Come on. All right, time's up. Wait, give me like, give me 10 seconds. Nate, I like the glasses though. I usually wear glasses. Four eyes. This four letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Remind me to tell you about my eye surgery. I can't remember. Cory, can you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answer. No! Nate says sack, Cory, without an answer. The rest of the room says crop. They got it. The correct answer is crop. When a bird swallows food, it goes from the throat to the esophagus to the crop to the first stomach to the gizzard. The flexibility of the crop allows birds to eat more food than necessary and store some for later. Migrating birds tend to have small crops, while seed-eating birds tend to have big crops. It's so cool to, once you harvest a bird to open it up and see what they're eating, then that's like, oh, I should focus on this, you know? You can see it in grouse, pheasants, ducks, geese, and whatever. Tony and I did it like two weeks ago. It was like, look, it's one of the soy beans in the crop. And the digestion has barely started at that point. So it looks like if they have corn in there, if they have seeds in there, it looks like exactly how it was when they ate it. You can learn a lot by the crop. I found a minnow in a mallard. That's cool. Very weird. Phil, give us a scoreboard update through five questions. Oh, Nate. Wow. Nate, I'm going to tie it up, bro. I'm going to tie it up in the last five. Nate declared he's not a jabroni before we started recording. How many points does he have, Phil? That looks like a big fat zero. I'm going five for five on the back half. No. Coming up after Nate, our Corey and John who have two points apiece. Max and Maggie have three. And in first place is Sarah with four points. Good game from the jabrones. Hunting demands preparation, persistence, and gear that will not quit on you. That is why I wear first light. This isn't about height. It's about no compromise gear.

Looks like a lot of guesses happening. Or do you know this one, Marge? I know it. Okay. Marge knows it. I mean, if I'm wrong, I guess then I don't know. I still aren't. Yeah, two ways. What continent are ardvarks native to? What cartoon character was an ardvark? We will talk about that in the flavor text. I know that. Me too. Ardvark is typically the first word in dictionaries. Because it does have that double A at the beginning. That's a cool fact. What continent are ardvarks native to? How you doing, Nate? Stuck on two. Hmm. Corey, do you like your answer? I feel pretty good. 60%. Sarah, the leader of the Gibroni so far, do you have this one right? I don't know if I do. Kind of guessed. It's a big world out there. There's a lot of continents. These are only native to one of them. Definitely not. Yeah. Stuck on two. Yeah. Should I go... Hmm. Waiting on Maxwell and Jonathan. Those glasses do make you look smarter. Yeah. Thank you. Just keep them. John, do you have your answer? I do. Max, do you have your answer? Yeah. Yes or maybe? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Nate says Australia. Corey says Australia. Uh-oh. Sarah, Africa, John. South America, Max, Africa. Maggie, Australia. The correct answer is Africa. Oh! Doug, Max, and Sarah. Wrong. Got that one wrong. I was going to do South America, but I'm glad I did Africa. Dude. I'm known as African ant bears with the name Ardvark, meaning earth pig. They are not closely related to pigs at all and are the only member of their genus. The most famous ardvark, Arthur, lives in Elwood City, which is loosely based on Erie, Pennsylvania. Shout out PBS Kids. There you go. PBS Place. But they didn't tell me where Ardvark was from. I know. Just Elwood City. Okay. This next great question is via Clint Gregory. Is he getting hot in here? Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher Walken in this 2005 comedy. I didn't know they were in the same... I didn't know Bradley Cooper and Vince Vaughn were in a movie together. Corey has his answer.

Yes, okay, and I looked it up. Milia is not the right word Nate do you like your repertoire? What do you want me to say max You want me to tell you No No idea is everybody ready. Yeah, go ahead and reveal your answers Nate says wedding crashers Cory says vice Sarah meet the parents John without an answer max how to lose a guy in 10 days March without an answer the correct answer is Wedding Crashers Not that one right I'm still out already thinking the That was like what 2019 or 2020 isn't Well, I don't think any of those people That's what threw me off Well, I think it'd be six for six the hunting scene from wedding crashers is one of the worst in Hollywood history For starters, they are quail hunting in summer and during this quail March Christopher Walken is constantly and incorrectly blowing into a crow call also the muzzle control in this scene will make you Squeamish then when one of them shoots everyone starts firing in that direction Oh, and Wilson experiences so much recoil that it blows him backwards while Bradley Cooper's shotgun barrel doesn't even flinch The hunt comes to an end when Cooper shoots Vaughn in the but which gives everyone a good laugh. Here's that scene Can't we hunt something cool? Yeah That'd be awesome. You mean something like big game even a gorilla Rhinoceros human being I'll get you jacked up Look at that gun pointed right at it. I mean like you're hunting human being right now most dangerous game I Could wear the adversary not a human being that's armed but a clever clever human being who knows the jungle or the woods I Get that quail There's something not right about these guys that's Bradley Cooper max it doesn't look like Bradley Cooper Don't do anything crazy. He's just relax. How do you have more hair?

I've already lost 300 aircrafts passing through it each day. Let's just leave Go buy a cookie and try my sorrows. Yeah All right, where are you gonna get your cookie from not crumble that place is trash. I agree This cookie's not good for you a little chemically over there. He's good for you Grandma so bad.

Come on the correct answer is Grand Canyon Four of our players got that one right. It's going to make for an interesting scoreboard update Bill in just a second Grand Canyon West is one of the world's busiest heliports. It's estimated that about 350,000 people charter helicopter rides from there every year Some conservationists say this practice has ruined one north one of North America's most remote places Putting them at odds with the national park service and local tribes as someone who's floated down the Grand Canyon I would agree you went through helicopter alley.

I'm rooting for Sarah Just once that was a long long time ago Sarah Yeah, I haven't won question nine the topic is cooking this next great question is via chris kolderick It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them So we're looking for a letter from the alphabet It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits. It's gonna take me a while that have this letter in them Nobody seems to know this or john. Do you know this one? Nothing's coming to mind right now. Okay, Sarah has her answer locked in no, Sarah.
