Ep. 818: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CXCVIII

This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Welcome to Meat Eaters 12 and 26, presented by Moultrie Mobile and On-X Maps, 12 of Meat Eaters biggest and baddest hunts from the last year, released throughout 2026. These are long form episodes. So you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on Meat Eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Welcome to Meat Eaters Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I am not your normal host, Spencer Newhart, but your Gibroni host, Nate Mason. And today we're joined by Anthony, Corinne, Corey, Seth, Randall, Brody and Steve. Big day. Big day for you. Lots of mess up here. Yeah. My computer's about to die. I forgot about that. That's a problem. You know, I do need a charger. Here we go. You know, the show is going right now. Well, we can restart it. We're not too deep. No, I wouldn't do that. It's complexity for folks. Why would you do that to me, Nate? I'm sorry. I got no two hours. I got the normal little guy. Round two. Part of the show. No, not planned. It is on brand. Well, folks, he's already feeling. OK, we'll keep rolling. This is an abortion of an experiment here. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters for Mercacles, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. So there's a prize. Somebody tick Spencer. Meat Eaters will donate $500. Conservation organization, the winners choosing for our IFAQ. It comes from John Fowch. Are you just doing this to practice? No, we're just keep going. No, we're doing the show. OK, sorry. He's just on right now. Yeah, it's going to run. IFAQ. I don't think you're going to use the deal. Wait on. The audience is confused. Just know that we were too. I feel like it's that back on. Spencer is a singular talent. Yeah, for me to say you did a good job. Is that me saying that Spencer does a bad job? You just need to use the negative five to five scale. Spencer is a five. And you just want to be better than zero. Yeah, yeah. OK. Come on. OK, today's IFAQ comes from John Fowch. What superstitions do Meat Eaters trivia players have? I think this is this is in the context of Meat Eaters trivia. Oh, I thought you're asking whether or not I believed in life. I'm just assuming I mean, I think I was talking like hunting superstitions. Oh, I thought it was like haunting you ghost guy. No. Yeah, I would interpret as trivia superstitions. Yeah. I tried sunglasses on upside down once. Didn't work. No. For a while, I was making elaborate borders around my board and I won a few times and then the power of that failed me. So I abandoned it until today. Yeah, until today. We're going to the shot. There you go. No other superstitions. Cool. No. We're all on a housekeeping. On a previous episode of trivia. Sorry, we're letting you down. The host will take the blame, but it could be the players. Yeah, I'm not helping. A certain Paul came over the room when you came in. I'm developing a superstition of not playing trivia when you're hosting. I see the questions. No, no, they're good. Don't worry, my poor performance in the intro will be negated by my positive performance. Here we go. Great. Spencer asked a question about South Carolina barbecue. I missed that question and since filed an ADA complaint. So I'd like to share a note from an impassioned South Carolinian. South Carolina features three distinct cultures and ideologies related to the seasoning of pulled pork vinegar, ketchup and that yellow abomination. Ketchup is mainly in the upstate close to the Georgia border. Vinegar is from the part of the state east of 95 down to the coast, the correct part of this great state. Mustard is located primarily in the midlands and is the product of abject parenting failures and terrible life decisions. Mustard does not and never will represent the good citizens of South Carolina. And I demand a correction to the record. Jake Thompson. But like there's so many different kinds and preparations of mustard. There's like where it's all seed and then there's Dijon. And then there's spiked there. So there's that yellow one. You say Dijon again for me. Dijon. Wow. Oh, very French. Baguette. Great. What does he mean ketchup? I don't know. I've never used ketchup in barbecue. I've only known of vinegar. I think that's the base. Like a barbecue. Yeah, like a tomato base. Now, one of my faves is when you take, I guess this would combine the two cultures is when you take equal parts, apple cider vinegar and joe blow mustard, not Dijon, but it's like helmets, whatever. The working man's mustard. And you make a mop that is vinegar and mustard, which must be what they eat right on I-90. Yeah. I think I think this guy's dead wrong. I love mustard based barbecue. Yeah, I think it's really isn't Carolina style. That's what Carolina gold. That's what he's coming back. Yeah, I love that. All that's say, I don't think we're correcting the record, but your complaints been heard. It was a funny email. Yeah, I agree. Well written. I took a lot out too. It was a merited reading. I wouldn't mind having a big old map of the country that that shows all that. Yeah. You know, like when you were a kid, they make you take a map and you'd have to like put like wheat over Kansas and like, you know, like an agricultural map. I wouldn't mind having a barbecue map. That's got to exist. Like Michigan would just be like what? Sweet baby raisers? You're like, no barbecue. It'd be blank. It'd be a hamburger for the pickle and mustard ketchup. I'd like to see a map of the US of like places where they claim that their pizza is special somehow. Detroit. Chicago. New York. St. Louis. St. Louis. St. Louis. Let's not get into it. Yeah. As your first and probably last Gibroni host, I'm going to give some love to a fellow Gibroni. Contrary to popular belief, our primary occupation is not getting dunked on by Randall Brody and the elusive Steve. Anthony Little Tony, Phenece, is not only a Gibroni, but also the director of financial planning here at Meadeater. He's the man behind the forecast budgets and sales reports we all know and love. And he does a great job. Keep it up, Anthony. Thank you, Nate. Wow. All right. Everything bad. I was going to say just went away. Boom. The Cameron Index for today is five, so I'm putting us on perfect game alert. And with that, we're on the game of trivia. Play the drop. Goodness. Kind of rushed through that. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. I need to know what kind of questions he's got. Easy ones apparently. I just have to win everything. He's got a sharp way. Come on, guys. That's true. Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is wildlife. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this is the name for a group of wild pigs. A. A colony. B. A sounder. C. A slop. D. A parade. Easy. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this is the name for a group of wild pigs. A. A colony. B. A sounder. C. A slop. D. A parade. Did you ask Spencer to check to see if any of these questions have been asked before? I assumed he did that because he got he next to a couple. And but some he like tweaked. Where is Spencer? I'm dying. He's ill from the flu. He's got sick. Gravely ill. We're not going to make it. COVID. He told me he wouldn't make it on Tuesday. So. All right, we good. Everyone got their answer? Reveal them. Seth says sounder. Son of a gun. Anthony says parade. Steve says sounder. Randall says sounder. Corinne says colony. Corey says sounder and Brody says sounder. Wilds house can produce one to two liters per year with four to twelve piglets per litter. What's the correct answer, Nate? Oh, dude. Correct answer, sounder. Hey, we could have told you that, but that's OK. Spencer would have been like, they got it. They got it. I'll do the next one. Yeah, something like sauce it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No mustard. No mustard. Wilds house can produce one to two liters per year with four to twelve piglets per litter. Sows can breed year round, reaching sexual maturity as early as six to eight months. Although pregnant sows are sometimes considered the best table fair, wild hogs of all ages, sizes and genders taste delicious. Hmm. Question two here. The next question is via Richard Keller. How many types of North are on the USGS topographical map? Cool. How many types of North are on a USGS topographical map? Good question. Wow. Yeah, there's different ways to read this. Hmm. I'll be curious to see. You didn't make that up. Who made that up? Richard Keller. Well, who's Richard Keller? He's a listener. OK. He he said I didn't see him in payroll. A different. I tweaked his question a lot. So if he gets mad at me, that's fine. You'll hear about it. Yeah, I'm sure. I think he's marine. He was a marine. He had a little marine emblem on his email. You guys don't like ask each other about stuff like that. Well, I'm not emailing him back and forth. Why not? I will. How would you bring it up? What do you mean? Would you be like Semper Fi, bro? No, I'm a I'm army dude. I'll be like, yeah, well, here's some crans. Sorry, you wouldn't say Semper Fi. No, I love Marines, man. I won't go in on Marines. No, how like, what do you say? Like when you meet another dude, you're like, you're like, you're a military guy. Yeah. And you you get a glimpse. You're you're engaging with someone. Like, do you how often do you bring it up? Like, let's say you're buying gas and the guy behind the counter, you realize some bitch is military. Yeah. Do you go like Semper Fi, bro? No, the only time is if I know like we overlapped at a duty state. Like if we have some sort of personal connection OK, further than the military. So you guys don't have like a little thing. I mean, I think they're cool. I respect them, but like we're not immediately homies. You got a handshake? I if there's a I don't just walk around handshaking better. One OK, no, nothing like that. Yeah. Yeah, if I knew some dude worked in the gas station was from Michigan, I wouldn't be like, holy, you know, hey, shake my hand. It's a lot of people in the military. A lot of great people, a lot of dumb people. I'm ready. That's a hot take. Yeah, not a hot take. All right. Everyone show your answers. Seth says five. Anthony says three. Steve says two. Randall says two. Corinne says five. Corey says six. That's right. And Brody says two. Two. The correct answer is three. No, it's not. The three are true magnetic and grid. True. No, no, no, no. Numbers guy over here. Got to know if you're an army guy, you do. Was that a guess, though? No. Really? That's in the USGS. Oh, yeah. Are you sure? Yep, 100 percent. Positive. Yeah. That's a great question. It is not. I thought that was a softball. Softball. Thank you, Nate. Yeah. That's what I meant. If it was two, I would be calling it a softball. Whatever. Yeah, well. Hmm. Sounder. True north is the fixed geographic point in North Pole where all lines of longitude converge at the Earth's rotational axis. Magnetic north is the dynamic point where the Earth's magnetic fields point vertically downward. Because it shifts annually due to the changes in the Earth's core, compass users must adjust for magnetic declination when using a compass. Grid north is used on flat topographic maps where vertical grid lines run parallel to one another rather than converging. I'll tell you something you should have put in there. No, wait on me. Did you know that periodically, magnetic north and south, there's a polarity switch? Yep. Do you know how they found that out? No. By looking at, in sea floor spreading, by looking at how crystals are orientated as the crusts get created in sea floor spreading, where they realize it's like north, south, north, south. I've been reading a lot about those. This lava comes up and the crystals solidify on magnetism. Tell me what, buddy. That's cool. Oh, it's really cool. You did just one of my biggest pet peeves, but we'll cover that later. I just read a book called Ends of the Earth by Neil Shubin. It's about the poles. Fascinating stuff. Is your pet peeve people telling you stuff you don't know? No, I love it. I love. My pet peeve is people saying orientated. Yeah, I picked up. I didn't notice that. I'm going to reorientate your nose. See, that's correct. You're not going to reorientate it, my nose. Wait, the poles book. Yeah. Not about the people? About the... No. But I've read some of those books, too. All right, moving on. Question three, natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Daniel Fisher. It's got to be a good one. For sending this great question, Daniel's going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to triviaatthemedeater.com. According to the biblical account, Samson killed this animal and later found honey and a swarm of bees inside the carcass. You got a biblical question in there? Oh, yeah, I did. Jeez. Listener question of the week. Delilah, right? Yep. Hey there. She's that lady who cut his hair. I had a badass mullet in high school when I cut my hair and then the next week I broke my leg and there are a lot of Samson jokes. You could have a good mullet going right now, Randall. I might say I do. Dude, I think chili's are cut much better. At least be a little short on top with a true mullet. See, I don't know this particular one, but I know like in the Bible there's a lot of references to and killings of. I think you're wrong based on that comment. Oh, shoot. That's where I went. That's pretty big hint, Nate. Yeah. That was a big hint. This is a Brody episode. We just throw out hints every now and then. Can I go back to what I got? If I get this wrong, that's your fault. It's not a unicorn. Maybe. Everyone got an answer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, reveal your answers. Seth says goat. Anthony says bear. Steve says bear. I went bear, lion, bear. Crossed out lion. Randall says lion. Corinne says ram. Cory says lion. Brody says lion. They got it. Why'd you tell me it wasn't what I thought? You can't do that. This is your Brody host, dude. We can do anything. Dude, I wrote lion down. I said I'm putting a thing that's in a lot of symbolism in stories in the Bible, meaning lion. That could have been a lamb. And you said that's not it? He thought you were written down lamb. A lamb. Why is it lamb? I'm going to have it. Why would he tell a lamb? Phil, do you ever think sometimes there's no rules? Dude, you can't like, but not close to the rules. You can't flat out steer someone wrong. I didn't. A lamb. A lamb. Samson. He's a big badass. He's not even killed. He's about to hear about it. Tell us about Samson. That's David. That's David. He killed a dude named Goliath. Samson knocked the pillars down when they got shot at his house. What did he kill that lion with? His bare hands. Listen to this. Samson kills the lion with his bare hands and returns later to discover a bee's nest with honey, which he proceeds to eat. His other hunting adventures include catching 300 foxes for an arson campaign and using a donkey's jaw bone to kill a thousand Philistines. I almost said donkey. Wouldn't have been right. I know. What about what had been in the answer though? Seems like a pretty cool dude. Yeah. That's got to be a pretty tough jaw bone. Yeah. I figured it's fresh because of his old break. Yeah. Question four. He was in the FAQ. He was in some chocolate jaw bone. It's a biblical FAQ. Hunting. Navda uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released. Oh darn. Can we phone a friend? These freaking Navda questions are wild and even down here. Ronnie, babe. Navda uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released. You know that meme of the woman screaming at the cat and her friends trying to hold her back? That's why Steve was like, why'd you tell me to write this down? I cut to Nate and he just had this little kind of space. Just reminded me of that. It was very good. Sometimes Spencer gives us like the amount of letters in the word. I'll do that later. No, I don't do that. I'll do that later. I don't know this, but if it's what I think it is. Is this like while the dog is pointing? Navda uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released. I'll give you that. It is when the dog's pointing. Oh. I'll give you that. That's a helpful clarification. Otherwise it could just be like sit state kind of stuff. Yeah, but that's not like a, that's a command. I know what I'd call it. I came up with a dumb answer. I don't even know why I'm down here. I've only got one right, Randall. Anybody still thinking? Cory. Haven't even started. Okay. We'll give you some time. No, haven't even started thinking. We'll give you some time. I got hit with a rock. That was a while ago. Your face looks a lot better. Oh, thank you. You too. I forgot about that. Yeah. You were trying to keep what really happened under wraps. That's what I heard. No, not at all. Spill the beans to the world. At least people who watch radio live. I got the full story. Bar fight. And some good photos. Yeah, big one. Bobcat fans. Took them all on at once. Last night. Couple of weeks ago. All right. If everyone's ready, reveal your answers. Seth says hold. Anthony says steady. Steve says hold. Randall says hold. Corinne says freeze ability. Cory says free slash froze. Brody says hold point. There is a correct answer in the room. Of course there is. Steadyness. Ah, really? How is he? You don't know what I'd call. Steady. Steady is delineated by four stages. Steady to flush, steady to wing, steady to shot, and steady to fall. Target species, terrain, vegetation, and temperament impact the stage a dog handler may train their dog to. Don't you feel like good hosting? You would have pointed out what NAVTA stands for. If you came to trivia, you'd know we kind of know what NAVTA is. I know what the listeners are thinking about. I know it's North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. Thank you. I didn't know that. It could have been a question. It could have been a question. Sounds like a trade agreement. It was a trade agreement. It does. I think it was last year. Yeah. The finance guy gets that joke. He gets the joke. I said it sounds like a trade agreement. I laughed. He can't stop laughing. You're kidding me. Seth, he didn't know what I was talking about. Every time I hear that, I think of NAVTA for some reason. North American Fur Ox. So when everyone else says the dog is holding point, NAVTA says it's being steady. No. And NAVTA says we're coming for your job. Welcome to Meat Eater's 12 and 26, presented by Moultrie Mobile and On-X Maps. 12 of Meat Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year, released throughout 2026. These are long form episodes, so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on Meat Eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Cabery, dairy, milk bars are made to share. But how do you decide who gets what? If you're the one who does the washing, keeps all the socks from getting separated, irons and folds it, then you deserve the biggest share. And if you have a floor job, well, you're lucky to get a few chunks, really. Cabery made to share. Pick up a limited edition bar now. Question 5 will have a scoreboard review after this question. Questions, categories, wildlife. And this great question comes from Savannah Volgamot. What bird has the largest wingspan? What bird has the largest wingspan in the world? Is it alive today? Yes. How specific do you want us to be? If the answer was Labrador or Treever, Treever would be fine. Okay. Or Whitetail Deer. Bill, who's got the highest score in the room right now? I think Anthony's got it, dude. Everyone, we've got a three-way tie. Randall and Anthony and Broody have two points a piece. So much for that perfect game, Nate. So much. We might have to adjust the old index. Cam might be a consummation ringer. Boy, I'm really torn. This is a first in the game of trivia. One man just grabs another's board. I'm not changing my stuff. We've had gentlemen's agreements to flash one another from now and then. I'm not changing my answer. I'm just going, nah-ha. Because that's wrong? I was going to say Randall had a pretty quick answer for the audio listeners for a man who is famously... Who's the worst on this bird? That's because I'm playing with a limited deck here, Phil. I looked at the four birds in my deck and I chose one. Oh, I got to tweak my answer. I would change your answer. I'm just looking at it. I'm always expecting to hear it. Oh, nice. I don't know. They're still thinking. Oh, I just got another idea. What should we choose? I can't think of the name. These birds. Here's the deal, too. No, tell us. Well, I'm sorry, Corey. Do you also have two points? I do. I can't tell if you have two points. I'm going to be better to put a... Thank you. I'm not going to change my answer based on what you wrote. I don't know if that's what you wrote. That's what you told us earlier. I've got a higher score than you, Steve. I'll take that, look. You need to get yourself a bird, but Corey... Is that not a bird? I think it's a bird. I'm not sure. Everyone got their answers? He's like, shit. Let's see him. Seth says Sandhill Crane. Anthony says Eagle. Steve says Albatross. Randall says Condor. Corinne says Crane. Corey says Seahawk. Brody says Condor. Crossed out Albatross. The correct answer is... Albatross. Damn! Boasting wingspans up to 11.5 feet. The wandering and royal Albatross are capable of circums navigating the globe. I wrote Wandering Albatross. So who else had Albatross? I scratched it out. I'm the only one who got the point. No complaints. I'm glad we got that refresher. What's the wingspan of an Andean Condor? Look it up real quick. I think you're wrong. He's not wrong. That'd make me wrong. I know. Covering over 500 miles a day, Albatross use a specialized tendon sheet that acts as a lock, allowing them to glide for miles with very little energy expenditure. They also have glands above their eyes that filter salt from their blood and expel the excess brine through their nostrils, allowing them to survive off seawater. Wow. What's Brody wanting you to look up? Andean Condor. Brody, you wrote? Condor. You wouldn't be right no matter what, because there's different condors. He said you didn't have to be specific. When did you say that? I said it was a good day. The Andean Condor is bigger by weight, but the wandering Albatross is a larger wingspan. Okay, I'll accept that. Brody, keep working. Nate, you're doing a great job. Thanks, Randall. Phil, also if you have some time, look up Condors. Alright, that was question 5. I'm back to have fun again. We have a scoreboard update. Oh, we do indeed. Let's look at it. Woo! Karyn Schneider's not on the board with 0 points at halftime. You truly could come back. Based on the rest of the score, Seth Morris has 1. And now, with Steve's point, the only person to get that last question right, he rounded himself up with the current first place. Position holders who are Randall, Anthony, Steve, and Brody. They all have 2 points. What I see when I look at that is I see that 4 people are beating Seth. There's a lot of crosstalk, guys, just for the audience. Corey Cowkins also has 2 points. Hey! You're right there. Breeze and write past you. No, you're fine. I'm short. Alright, question 6. According to Chesapeake Bay Magazine, handlining is the easiest way to recreationally harvest blue crabs and uses a 15-foot piece of twine with a chicken blank tied on the end. Chicken blank. According to Chesapeake Bay Magazine, handlining is the easiest way to recreationally harvest blue crabs. Chicken tender. Handlining is the easiest way to recreationally harvest blue crabs. Chicken tender. Chicken tender. To recreationally harvest blue crabs and uses a 15-foot piece of twine with a chicken blank tied on the end. This is Bubba from Forest Gumping over here. Just one? Chicken tender. What do you ask? Is this a singular answer or a plural? Chicken tender. Is the word plural? The article A. No, I'm well aware. According to Chesapeake Bay Magazine. That's an important part of good health. If you ask everyone in this room to be like, take an hour and write down every print publication you can think of. That one wouldn't come up. Chesapeake Bay Magazine would not come up. How many would you be able to write at Cover Crabbs? Nate, I appreciate what you did here. Thank you. Steve could just be saying, well, so and so told me that you tied chicken blank on the end. It's fine, but you can't throw out Chesapeake Bay Magazine. I think there's about a... Knowing that publication, I assume there... It's not so famous National Geographic saying there's seven continents. I have to include this because of your complaints and now you're complaining about me including. According to a magazine, my neighbor sells and sells. So I'm making that home to Zoya. Do we know how long the magazine has existed, has been in circulation? Do you know what the circulation is? 75 years. Sounds like a questionable institution. We're establishing some bonus rates. I'm not a dog in the state of print journalism. I'm going to subscribe for sure. I don't want those guys to think I'm dogging on me. I'm going to subscribe tonight. Alright, everyone got their answers? Reveal them. Seth says wing, Anthony says heart, Cory says neck, Corinne says wire, Cory says liver, Brody says neck. The room got it. Question, the answer is neck. The room, the majority got it. No, it's the Randall Brun. I said heart. That's not it. Not you would say the majority got it. The slight minority. Chesapeake Bay Magazine have anything else to tell us about this? Not as difficult as a slight minority got it. Exactly. Successful chicken necking has accomplished in five steps. One, tie a chicken neck to some twine. Two, throw the chicken neck in the water preferably in the Chesapeake Bay. Three, let the neck sit for at least five minutes. Four, slowly pull the chicken neck towards the surface of the water ensuring eating and feeding crabs are not spooked off the bait. And five, once within range, grab off the chicken with a net. Why you gotta wait five minutes if there's one on there after 30 seconds? You just don't know, it's always murky water. So it's tied? I was. You were at that? That was fun. Chicken neck long line for crabs. Yeah, the way he was able to scoop and run at the same time, we filled a basket. Tie, throw, sit, pull, scoop. There you go. It's time. If you ever find yourself in that part of the country, just do it. Like in Maryland? Maryland, that's the spot. Chesapeake Bay, 301. What up? Question 7. There's about seven people who appreciate that. The protagonist of this 2004 movie claims he used a frickin' 12-gauge to hunt wolverines in Alaska with his uncle. Wait, in real life or the character? The character. Like as the character. The character. Okay. I think I can get into your head on this one. Man, I want to give a hint so bad. No, don't. Do you know it, Randall? I think so. I don't. There's a lot of people who don't know about the character. I think so. I don't. There's not a lot of context here to work with. To be fair, but... I could add some. No, I wouldn't. I think there's... I think if you add in any more context, you add in it and would give it away. I know. Spencer warned me not to do it. This film just celebrated its 20th anniversary two years ago. Easy, no. That makes sense. What movies are celebrating their 20th anniversary? I'm going for a big old bullseye on this game. I want to do it, Phil. Yeah, hit the bell. Come on, Nate. Do it for the Gebronies everywhere. All right, here we go. I just gave you a clue. I said the name of the actor. You have to listen real closely. Not very loud. Don't do it. I'll do it. You can't say you said the actor and not say the actor again. I'm not giving the name to the actor. I'm going to give you the clue. There's not a rule that you have to work with. What are you trying to say? A freaking 12-gauge. What do you think? Oh, Jesus. It was too much. Jesus. You need his name? The actor's name? I'm so mad right now, Nate. I'm going to have to do it for the Gebronies. That's going to make me gross out my stupid answer. I'll just keep it. Horrible. I had a Tropic Thunder written down. I was trying to think. That was a bad call. You win some, you lose some. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even write the movie. I just wrote the actor. You didn't have Tropic Thunder down. No, I don't question Mark. That was good acting. Thank you. I can do most of that movie. Good acting, terrible hosting. Terrible hosting. Especially since you want me to play the clip after you finish the... I benefited. I think it was terrible. I felt dirty. It was a bad impression, but it was enough. I thought it was good. You should have just said it stars John Heeter. You know, like the whole dirty hands, all that garbage, clean money and all that. And now I feel like I got dirty money. Mike Conley found one of those hats floating in Holter. And he still wears it to this day. All right, everyone show your answers. Seth says Napoleon Dynamite, Anthony Napoleon Dynamite, Steve Randall, Cory. Imagine that. The whole Napoleon Dynamite. Corrine did not get it. That guy seems to be struggling. I somehow stumbled into him on social media. You sure that was him? He probably stumbled into the guy who... It's an imitation.

If I got this right, it's just going to be because of pure genius. It'll be because I just made it up. You know what geniuses do. It'll be because I thought it through and made it up. You're not a big smoker. I'm listening. I've been smoking when you were shit snipers. Sucking on your bombs. I just got familiar with Barbecue Champs Academy, perhaps. They're out of Chesapeake Bay.

I do but it's got it. What's your stuff? Let me look I like to change my answer What is going on When I show you what I got I think you're gonna like it better Five letters five letters sure it makes sense mine makes sense here now as much sense as this I Everyone have an answer basically the same thing break out the thesaurus Randall's they've had enough time you can I'm not curiously writing I just whatever Randall's Flustered how about you tell the whole room this answer? Are you still mad about Giving away the entire answer to the room. Yes. Yeah, how many people got that after his impression who would not have gotten it Yeah, there you go. I had trouble under down for four contestants An answer by I had Ricky Bobby All right, everyone ready reveal your answers Seth says level Anthony says holds Steve says bench Randall says peaks. No, he says holds I said Corinne says question mark well, it's temporary but it's six letters. So that's wrong Corey says rests and Brody says break The correct answer is stall The stall is a thermodynamic phenomenon and low temperature makes that five letters Spelling Oh, yeah You want to cut that out? Can I keep my job if I don't Yeah, that's not how I was thinking about the stall Is a thermodynamic phenomenon in which low temperature meat cooking where the internal temperature of a cut plateaus typically around 160 degrees Fahrenheit and Remains stagnant for several hours. This is caused by evaporative cooling a process in which thermal energy provided by the heat source is Offset by the energy consumed as moisture evaporates Similar to perspiration the moisture migrating from the muscle fibers to the surface creates a cooling effect Dude, if any of y'all ever smoked anything, you know what this is because it's the most stressful thing time of your life Question eight so give scoreboard up. Hey, there we are. Here we go after question eight Corinne zero points Seth two points Anthony and Corey three points and tied up in first place are Randall Brody And yes, Stephen Rinella with four points.

I got his name. I got a name wrong Italy No, I said it was it was like Carol wick or something. Yeah close enough. Yeah kind of a dud end, huh? Well, it's not the end because Randall and Brody are tied with six points of peace I said yep, I said the white tailed ear thing. All right, um Everyone gets it gets to play because if someone hits it right on the nose we add an extra hundred dollars number Okay, it's always a number It's not a job numbers guy his day is day job, but the only answers that really matter are Randall and Brody The correct answer sorry Fatal mistake at this point of the game. I got back up somewhere the category is conservation According to the National Wilderness Institute, what percent of Ohio is considered to be public land? Oh Go to two decimal places Come on you got an Ohio resident much not an Ohio resident for well many many years. Yeah still You're from Pennsylvania Yeah, we didn't go You like throw a rock and hit Ohio and we didn't go over across the border into that state Hmm According to the National Wilderness Institute, what percent of Ohio is considered public land? Two decimal places Geez Is he saying this about the decimal places just like throw a buddy off? Oh, is that by the hundred? No, I mean less chance of a dealt another tie Oh Yeah Hmm good question. Thanks bud Well, it would really take the wind out of my cells if I lost on this question especially considering earlier injustices Well But if you won it'd be like more of a triumph yeah, yeah, it'd be like like a karate kid or whatever, you know like Someone does like a dirty play right, you know dirty hit or trick, right? But then you beat them anyway, or like you're running a race and get tripped. Yeah come back in the end you win anyway Yeah, I'd be like Randall indeed. Yeah Or or maybe the cheater will win But then we just but then we just run the same race the next week and the next week the next week and it soon forgot And this long string games Two decimal points that makes me root for Randall man just that little narrative I thought I kind of like a different more of a Cormac McCarthy and narrative where the good guy doesn't win Yeah, the bad guy life's not fair and Brody's the bad guy I actually thought winning on that last question would have been really special because I love that bear It's a great bear, and I don't feel like Brody even knew what it was. He just said bear There's no way he just rolled bear down for no reason Did you yeah That's exactly there and pick and pick bear no way Hey, some people just got guessing all right show your answers Set four point two one Anthony 12.69 Steve three point zero zero Corinne eight point one two Corey two point six seven Brody and the two players that matter Brody seven point three one and Randall four point seven three whoa We have an answer within point zero eight no Mmm Brody the correct answer is 2.59% making Randall our winner. Oh Cory was point zero eight percent off. That's really good Cory. Wow. That's really good. Thank you The dearth of Ohio public land is a direct result of the state's history as the initial site for the land ordinance of 1785 Following the Revolutionary War the US government used the Ohio County to settle national debts selling the landscape to private private citizens and speculators Unlike the West where vast tracks have remained in public domain Nearly every acre of Ohio was grid in the public land survey system and privatized for the concept of public land existed Phil do you have a way to Sort of codify that I beat Randall and Brody on the bonus question. Is that captured somewhere? I think now it is Which ever one of our listeners runs like the trivia Wikipedia page or whatever. I'm sure they've got an account of it It's gonna live online so you can capture that somehow. Yeah Yeah behind Cory like an asterisk or something. I don't know sure I could take care of just let me know when I can celebrate my win Stephen Thank you. Thank you. Oh feels good. It's been a real a real dark period in my trivia life So happy to be on top and so well hosted game except for question seven I'd like to donate this my winnings actually to Ohio BHA So I can buy some more public land. Yeah, they do a lot of important work with creating God creating access. Yeah, it's creating new public land. So It's overdue. I know they had it I know they had a big project going that had a they needed to get a certain amount of funds by the end of the year So I failed them in securing that winning before that deadline, but hopefully this can go to good use Hey, Anthony, you're a part of financial planning, right? Do you think we might be able to throw in like an annual subscription to Chesapeake Bay magazine in there as well? Certainly cool Excellent page ad Well, I don't really know what to say, you know, no, I think we should just I think we should just go around the room I thought it was fun around the room and talk about how we felt it went. I thought it was good Nate Yeah, we call this an after-action review in the business as a hot wash. Yeah Last night, you know, you know, like let's say you're watching a football game Yeah, and afterward they go up and they want to talk to the coach in the quarterback of the losing team or the winning team went Yeah, well, yeah, cuz you'd be the losing let's say you did like you did a quick interview with a loser I'd be happy to All right, how are you feeling right now tough loss to caused it all by yourself. Well, I did beat on The bonus question I did beat the two winners. Oh, yeah, tell us about that Well, if you think about it, it would have tied me up for the win. Hmm. If it was out of order. Yeah That's a great thought. Mm-hmm. Unfortunately, that's not how games are played Now let's cut over to the real winner Randall. Oh your thoughts I Mean, it's not easy to sit in that to sit in that chair as the the host of this whole Event There's a lot of personalities in the room, you know, you've got a lot to read you've got a lot to keep track of Ultimately, I think you did a great job I think we can take the the tape and look for areas for improvement for next time, but You know, you come out here with the right attitude and I think you can walk away with your head held high I thought you were gonna talk about your performance.
