Ep. 821: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CXCIX

This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to Meet Eaters 12 and 26 presented by Moltremobile and OnXMaps. 12 of Meet 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 Bated Bear Hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a Bated 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 Meet Eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Welcome to Meet Eaters trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Janice Brody Randall, Corey Nate and Logan Williamson. Logan, when you're in town that means there's something happening with first light. What is happening with first light? We are just trying to get ready for the new year, specifically getting ready for the new year. We are just trying to get ready for the new year, specifically getting ready for the new year. We are just trying to get ready for the new year, specifically getting prepped for Nashville and WTF. I believe a couple of you folks will be joining us down there. We are a second year down there at the convention. It was awesome last year. Foot traffic was unbelievable and I think just the quality of folks down there. I've never been to a trade show with nicer people walking through the booth. I think we all came home with brave reviews of NWTF and Nashville. Yanni, you loved it down there, right? I like listening to Turkey calls. You like talking to the southerners too about Turkey's? Oh yeah. They like their Turkey hunt and they're good at it. So you can come see first light at NWTF. You can come see Yanni's, me, Clay, some of the other crew members. I will be there about one month from now. I think it's President's Day weekend. You can tell us about how we're going to host the party. We will have some details about that. What's going to happen? We have a party that NWTF is having. There's second one ever. We're hosting it for the second time. There's going to be some trivia there. I think there might be some storytelling that happens. There's going to be an owl-hoot contest. You're 100% sure about that? No, but if we just put it out there, who's going to tell us? Maybe the universal make it happen. Clay Newcom is going to be in charge of that. Yeah, voice only. Yeah, nothing against the guys that do it really well with the calls. I went and sat in twice now to listen to them call. They're all really good. They almost all sound the same because they're all so good with their long owl-hoot and tubes. I think bringing back the voice owl-hoot would be a real hit. When you're down there, you're going to hear some people that sound like owls if you close your eyes and just imagine being in the woods. You ever seen anyone call an owl in? Oh, yeah. We know who did it to the point where it got annoying was Guy Zuck. Remember him? Do you ever meet him in Michigan? What was an owl's response? Oh my gosh, it's ridiculous. Not only one owl, but we're out there listening for turkeys. I'm like, guy, bust out that badass bar now, call you guy and get a turkey to gobble. He's like, I don't do it. I'm like, why not? Oh, because it'll attract a bunch of owls or territorial. I'm like, bullshit. What are you talking about? He's like, okay. Does his thing? That's pretty good. And I mean, couple minutes go by. There's two, maybe a third one, like two above us. Literally just come in, another one, a hundred yards away, and they are going bananas to the point. You couldn't hear a gobble if there was 50 yards away, hammering. They're just on top of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, doing all their crazy sounds and guys like see. Dolge. Too good. Yeah, too good. So he doesn't, he didn't do them anymore. You guys were doing owl hoots on the live tour. Do you know what city had the best representation of owl hoots? Um. Yani. I would say that it was either Fayetteville, Arkansas, or. It was not. Generally speaking, it was not a proud showing. Yeah, overall. Yeah. Yeah, regionally, I think. I thought you would be impressed in the South. Clay's confidence. It was better than when we've done our other tours on the West Coast. Or just across the middle of the United States. Um, but I just don't know if we are, our show attracts the people that can make the best out of the world. That's a challenge from me, honest. What, what other city it sounded like you were going to come up. There were a couple outstanding, uh, hooters. I'm trying to think of where we started in Birmingham, right? Yeah. And we were definitely let down the guy. But then the next stop in Memphis, Nashville had two good finalists. Yeah. Um, but we were never in a situation where we had like eight good ones to choose from. Okay. It was always fairly obvious who the finalists were. Yeah, you can, you can definitely tell the regions where they're doing it more because that Alabama, Tennessee, and we had, you know, when you're there, people are driving from all those surrounding states, right? So you always have misycipients in there and whatever. Once we got into Texas, it just dropped off the cliff. Like those folks who like aren't, aren't, out of hooters at all. Well, NWTF calls. Hmm. They're probably using electronic calls all the time. Uh, uh, good. NWTF Valentine's weekend in Nashville. You can come show Yani and Clay, uh, your best out of the loop. All right. This is a 10 round question with questions from Mediter's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Mediter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We have an IFAQ this week. It's from Matt O'Bardo. I enjoyed Nate as the guest host. How would Nate grade his performance on a scale of negative five to five? Throwback to Nate. Nate thinks that that's how things should be scored instead of zero to 10. So Nate zero or negative five to five. Um, I do think we should use negative five to five for roasts. Okay. It would help with the scoring. Um, I don't know if my performance was that good. I think we just had a great room. Oh, wow. I really did. That's good hosting you just did by passing off, you know, being very humble. Well, I'm not known for that. But, uh, should be that the contestants be the one to grade. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see that. Negative five to five. Yeah. Spencer being like a four and a half or a five. Oh, wow. Thank you. I wouldn't get more. Canyon was probably I would put Ken at, Ken, at like a negative two and a half or three. As a contest error host. As a host. I'd give you a, she did pretty good. A two. I'll take that. Randall observed the comments were very positive. I thought you did a great job, uh, not being flustered by a lively room. I mean, we began the episode by just sort of antagonizing him for two minutes straight. I did deserve that. Um, and I thought, you know, the questions were good. There weren't any like Steve stopping his feet about the veracity of any of your answers. Um, you know, the one thing I think was just in Napoleon Dynamite clue ruined the whole thing. Yeah. That was tough. Here's your thing. You started out. I wondered the actor's name. Yeah, but nobody got it. You started it. But nobody got it. I'm just saying like you started that ball rolling down the hill. I, I have a little pushback there. If you were like, if Spencer did that, it would be wrong. Oh, but it's baked in because I'm a jimrony hope. It had to happen. No. I got home. No. Well, it seems kind of better to be mad about that when you won. I'm just trying to give him some constructive feedback. I got home and Sydney was like, I listen to trivia. Holy shit. I can't believe he did that with the whole thing. I said, I don't think I will do that again. That's great. So you learn. Yeah, exactly. That's why he gave himself a two. Mm-hmm. Not a five. I thought, oh, and although I think for like a debut as a host of trivia, I think it's probably, I would call it a smashing success. There you go. Randle pointed out there was one comment that said, I don't even like Nate, but he did a good job. Yeah. Even your haters did a section. Well, that, yeah. Yeah. But you won him over. Listen, dude, I, it's a testament to the Lord Almighty that I'm this palatable. So I hear you. I'm good. Yeah. So we have some housekeeping on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about the four letter organ at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. The correct answer was crop, but about a dozen folks wrote in saying the crop should also be correct. And I agree with them. It's a four letter word and Maryam Webster has it defined as quote the crop of a bird or insect. So if you said crop for that question, then go ahead and give yourself the point to crop or. I know that was people like clay saying it wrong. No, that's that Maryam Webster says it's literally the crop of a bird. And how did they spell it? C-R-A-W. Was that where like a stick in my crawl comes from? I don't know, probably. Sticking a bird's crop. All right, the Shelby index for today is a three and a half. So our winners should get seven correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop fill. I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? There's time to win everything. Game on suckers. Question one, the topic is hunting and this is multiple choice. What does it cost to enter an animal into the boon and crock it or Pope and young record books? Is it zero dollars, $20, $40 or $60? As in the wrong room. I like the question. I like the question. What does it cost to enter an animal into the boon and crock it or Pope and young record books? I never killed one big enough to have to find out zero dollars, $20, $40, or $60. Has anybody gone through the process of entering anything? Yeah, but not that big. That one you killed with cap. Seven hunters in the room who have never gone through the Pope and young or boon and crock it process. What does it cost to enter an animal? Zero dollars, $20, $40 or $60. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says 20. Logan says it's free. Randall free. Cory $40, Janice $60, Brody $20. All over. Every answer was represented. The correct answer is $40. Who got it? Cory got that one right. Although it's free to have an animal scored it does cost you to have an animal entered in their record books. But boon and crock it does not charge the $40 fee to its official measures, museums, state agencies, or other nonprofits. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Stu McKissack. This type of salmon is a landlocked sockeye and shares its name with a Canadian beer. I feel like we've had this question three times. Still alone. So you said that in the flavor text for the last question you said that they don't charge for state agencies. In fact, I might ask this question. So in some situations the cost is zero. Or not going to give it to you if you said free. But it is free. If you're an official measure like Clay Newcombe. Oh, this type of salmon. Is that why Clay's always saying like 171 and 1516? He's an official measure. This type of salmon is a landlocked sockeye and shares its name with a Canadian beer. You have a confident room. Logan, do you have this one right? Is everybody ready? I drank some of this beer in Canada as a 19 year old. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, Shinook, the rest of the room says, Cocany, the correct answer is, dude, I don't finish ordering beer. There's got to be a Shinook beer. I bet up in Alaska. Cocany beer was created in Creston, British Columbia in 1962. And is named after the nearby Cocany Glacier. Their website says, quote, Cocany is British Columbia in a bottle offering a crisp glacier fresh taste. I've never had one. What's your review of it, Janice? What's your review from a 19 year old? I'm not a Cocany honest. I've never had. Oh, it's been decades. But I would just put it in the class of, you know, the Budwizers and Morse's, Molson's and other mass produced. What do you think of the Cocany? I would, I associated with like a Renere. The bad and the most of our way better. Original, easy, drink and beer. Okay. The only reason I got that, Brody, was because it was, it was on a podcast. You, you, you talked about it. I don't know if it was a trivia or just a regular podcast, but like I said, we've had it three or four times. I think Spencer, I appreciate you. I have enough confidence and Spencer that he wouldn't repeat a question. Question three, the topic is Woodsmanship. Outdoor content creator Luke Nichols told his 15 million subscribers in May 2025 that he was done posting videos to this YouTube channel. Nate and Randall and Corey and Yannis all seem confident they already have an answer. Brody is joining them. Logan has a blank. Bob, I even know it. Yes. His question three. Outdoor content creator Luke Nichols told his 15 million subscribers. He was doing a lot of things. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Like I said, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read the whole book, if you did not read I would say that unfortunately that's probably the place where most people have learned woodsmanship in the last three years. It's quite popular. Unfortunately. I mean as far as influencers go, the guy I mean. Is anybody watching stuff? I've never watched this stuff. I just looked at the list of all his videos and his most popular video is a Nerf War video. And it's got like 250 million views. I always get served his content through someone else. Like he didn't post it. Someone else grabbed 45 seconds from one of his videos and put it out there. Is everyone having an answer for question three? I definitely don't have this right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says outdoor boys. Logan says, seek one. The rest of the room says outdoor boys. They got it. The correct answer is outdoor boys. I bet seek one though. The outdoor boys channel followed Luke and his three sons as they hunted, fished, foraged, and camped across Alaska. He called it quits after 11 years and 490 videos. But then dropped three more videos just six months after the announcement. He said the attention was making it hard for his family to live normal lives. And that he's unsure if he'll ever return to making content. Question four. They always come back. He said those other three videos were promised. He promised he would put those out. So he put those out. And then he said, that's it. Now I'm done. I promised him a little more jingle. Question four. The topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Tyler Kerney. For sending this great question, Tyler is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win a listener question of the week, then send your question to triviaatthemedeter.com. This alliterative term is defined as, quote, the maximum number of species that can sustainably live in a given area. Question four. Topic is conservation. It's our listener question of the week, which was won by Tyler. This alliterative term is defined as the maximum number of species that can sustainably live in a given area of a species. Bay species made it too easy. Okay. Brody says too easy. Keep talking, Brody. Need to come more. You know, I was when I made all my questions, you told me basically all of them were too hard. Yes. I was so far off, but I defer to your experience and you were right. Like if I'd done my original questions, they would have got like one right. But you did. Oh, see you. I think you came in with a perfect game alert, which was total. Dude, maybe I should get my wife in here and start playing y'all. Okay. How made you get right to win six. Seven. Well, six. Well, six. Well, six. Well, six. Tybracars. Tybracars. Yeah. Those are hard questions. Some number of species that can sustainably live in a given area. Yeah, the first half was tough. Yes. It's easy to do. I still. Yeah. Right. Harder questions than needed. Cory, do you have this one right? No, I don't think so. Logan, do you have this one right? Not chance. You know what a literative means. Yes. And I know, I know the answer is just usually when a limitation, except your tongue, keep going. Someone needs help. Y'all know you got this one. I believe so. Okay. After a brief pause, he figured it out. Logan, do you give up? Yeah. We're calling it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says carrying capacity. Yeah. Logan, without an answer, randled. Carrying capacity. Cory says over abundant. Y'all know this and the Brody say carrying capacity. The correct answer is carrying capacity. Food, water and habitat are the three main things that determine a species carrying capacity. Biologists estimate that the carrying capacity for wolves in Yellowstone is about 100. It's believed there are 120 wolves living in the park right now with their population fluctuating between 80 and 170 in the last 20 years. You know at the number one killer of wolves in Yellowstone National Park. Yes, there's other wolves. That is correct. Nice. I always find that to be an interesting. I found interesting. There's only 120 of them there. Yeah. I feel like I've seen two dozen of them. And I'm like, I can't ever see. That's a shitload of wolves. One fifth of the wolves. That's a lot of wolves. That's also a lot of country, a lot of elk, a lot of deer. Question five, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Dylan Bussey. This 10 letter fish is a type of goby native to Africa and Australia that's famous for its ability to walk and breathe on land. Oh. Oh. 10. The topic is wildlife. This is question five. This 10 letter fish is a type of goby native to Africa and Australia that's famous for its ability to walk and breathe on land. No confident players at the moment. I can see this little mutant animal. We will look at a picture of it after this. Damn, it only got nine letters, Spencer. 10 letter fish is a type of goby native to Africa and Australia that's famous for its ability to walk and breathe on land. We have a stumped room. Brody has an answer. Do you like your answer, bro? Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay. You may be the only one. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this and also look at a picture of this 10 letter fish. The type of goby native to Africa and Australia that's famous for its ability to walk and breathe on land. Is this the, remember the fishing guide Joel Norricain? Oh, yeah, I remember. Didn't he own one of these? It's not that. That's different. That fish also can mess around outside of water for a while. Yannis, do you have a 10 letter fish? No. Okay. Joel Norricain. What? I like that guy. I like some too. It's just I haven't heard that name. Brody Giddy bringing that up. Brody may be the only one of our six players to get this one. You're striking out right now, Logan. I got one. Nice. Just put that out there. We can skip the scoreboard update. Yeah, like a 10 letter fish is a type of goby native to Africa and Australia that's famous for its ability to walk and breathe on land. Randall, how you doing down there? Not great Spencer. Okay. I think a wrong number of letters. We're probably waiting on you to give up. Fine. Do it. Does everybody give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says snake heads. Logan's snake heads. Randall says Mudmubby. Mudmubby. Puppie. Cory without an answer, Janice. Snakehead Brody. Mud Skipper. The correct answer is Mud Skipper. Nice. Brody. Got that one right. Good job. Well done Brody. Mud Puppie would not qualify. Would that? It doesn't have the right number of letters. Not a letter. Probably the same thing. So Mud Skippers will move across land to hunt for insects and crustaceans, find mates and escape predators. They do so by pulling themselves along with their pectoral fins. When out of water, they have the unique ability to breathe by trapping water in their gills and absorbing oxygen through their skin. They spend about as much of their life on land as they do in water. There is a picture of a bear. That looks like a Pokemon of Mud Skippers. Yeah. And a Mud Puppie is not the same thing. Well, it didn't have ten letters. I know, but I'm just trying to. You were so close. I'm not asking for a point. I'm just not wanting to know if I'm right. You were flirting with the right answer. Not going to give it to you. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update halfway through the game of trivia. Phil, I haven't heard Phil say a word this whole game. Is he back there today? Oh, yeah, it's going, yes. Let's get to you. Here at halftime, we've got Logan with one singular point. He's on the board though. Nate's got two Corey Yannis and Randall are tied up with three points and with the only correct answer on Mud Skipper. It's pretty Henderson and first with four. He's game. Anybody's game. Welcome to Meet Eaters 12 and 26 presented by Maltry Mobile and On X Maps. 12 of Meet 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 Meet Eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Question six, the topic is hunting. This outdoor magazine was created in 1925 and goes by the acronym FFG. And there's a short hand for that is F hyphen F hyphen G. This outdoor magazine was created in 1925 and goes by the acronym FFG. It's a love reading this one. I live next, not quite next door, a couple doors down from a fella that was an editor of this magazine for quite a while that gave me a first edition jack of Connor book that I lent to Stephen Rinella at one time. Never got it back. And it's so bitch gave it away. Oh, he gave it to you. He doesn't even know. He was just taking up space and so you just needed to get rid of it. Yeah, he forgot who owned it. Now I will say. He never had a lot of respect for all Connor's writing. Nope, I know that's why. That got you to get away. For your private property. Now in Steve's defense, he did give me as a trade. He gave me a Duncan Gilchrist hunt high, which is also a classic. It's hard to find. But you prefer that jack of Connor first edition. Well, yeah, I enjoyed reading that book. It was like a large format. It was a cool book. It had a bunch of letters when he used to answer all of the letters to the editor in there. But the letters he had picked out and published in that book had nothing to do. Not all of them. Some of them were hunting and fishing, but most of them had nothing to do with hunting and fishing. Oh, interesting. And so they were the kind of just the weird crazy stuff that had come in, but he still took the time to write back. Wasn't he also a romance writer or something like that? I don't know about that. I'd like to read that book. Yeah, I mean, if you can just give it back. This outdoor magazine was created in 1925 and goes by the acronym F-G. This is question six is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says fish field guide Logan farmers field guide Randall for fish game. Corey for fish game. Yannis for fish game Brody for fish game. The correct answer is for fish game. Wonderful. Steve however get published in for fish game. I feel like he wrote something trapping related for them. There's a story about my dog and me in that magazine last year who wrote that? Maybe two years ago. I can't remember. They actually took it. They did a podcast and then they basically made an article from the podcast. Arthur Harding started his first outdoor magazine called Hunter Trader Trapper in 1900 where he reported for prices. But he sold the publication in 1914 due to poor health. When he recovered a decade later, he tried to buy it back, but the new owner wouldn't sell. So Harding purchased a different magazine called Fur News and Outdoor World and changed it to for fish game. Today they are the last national outdoor magazine that still publishes new issues each month. Question seven. No kidding. And they look the same. You look at one of those covers. It looked like it did 30 years ago. Man, I'm going to get a subscription today. There you go. Support them for fish game. Last one's doing it on a monthly basis. Question seven. The topic is fishing. Most of America's polycarvest happens here, which is defined as quote, the northern most part of the Pacific separating the continents of Asia and North America. We have a confident room on question seven. Boy, we had a banner here on Pollock a couple years ago. Steve Shaq. You can drop down there without snagging one on every drop for a while. What's the top thing you would do with Pollock? The bigger ones we'd flay, the boys would be the ones that were the most popular. And they were the ones that were the most popular. The bigger ones we'd flay, the boys wouldn't let them go. So we had to flay. He's per bait. He's sent a live one down there for halibut. You know, okay. Oh, you don't save them for personal consumption. We kept the bigger ones. Just the most of them we were catching. Oh, and like the imitation crab me, you get a feeling that that's been slurried once. Oh, yeah. And then it's like comes back in that shape, right? Yeah. Most of America's polycarvest happens here, which is defined as the northern most part of the Pacific, separating the continents of Asia and North America. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have everybody saying bearing sea and they got it. That's not what Nate said. Oh, what did Nate say? Bearing straight, bearing sea or bearing straight. I had a road down. I would accept both. He spelled both words wrong, though. But B-E-R-I-N-G and ST are. B-E-I-N-G. Bearing like Vita's bearing. Oh, oh, yeah. Now I know. According to Noah, the bearing sea polych fishery is the largest single species fishery in the world. It's estimated that fleet bring in 1.5 million tons of polych from here each year, which is enough to make over 1 billion fish sandwiches. This rich stretch of water is also famous for its salmon, Pacific cod, halibut, snow crab and king crab. And eight, the topic is cooking. Butchers use this type of vertical saw with an endless tooth belt to make precise cuts through meat and bone. Last question was a 100%-ish one. This one has potential for that as well. I wasn't asking you to put your mouth on. Butchers use this type of vertical saw with an endless tooth belt to make precise cuts through meat and bone. Cory is asking for someone to send our office one. That is what I'm all have access to one of these. These things are dangerous. Oh boy. Dangerous. I don't know if you'd want to have one in an office. No. But you have to sign a waiver before you turn it down. I think so. Is it more dangerous though than using the wrong tool to try to do this? Like if you had a sawzall trying to accomplish the sawzall. I used a sawzall for that stuff all the time. No, no, I think this would be safe. But we also don't have a sawzall laying around for everybody to stick around when they want to make these cuts. This is question eight. Butchers use this type of vertical sawzall. No, when you see a video someone doing endless tooth belt, like whatever, a shank or something, like from a bug, it's scary. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's everybody ready? I hope so. And then reveal your answers, Nate and Logan and Randall. Everybody says band saw everybody got it correct. No, bro. They did the same saw. What did you, Yannis, what did you have to change there? Oh, I had to add the D for a long period of my life. I thought that it was just called a band saw. Oh. And then at some point I realized it's a band saw. I'm sure you would have got it right. Band sawz are built for making quick green cuts through frozen meat and bones. Some Depot has tabletop options that start at $300 or you can spend five figures on a standalone commercial version. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update with two parlor strings to go. Half time, got Logan with three. It's not half time, Phil. It's not half time. Thanks, Randall. Appreciate that. It's a first time question eight. Nate's got four Randall, Corey and Yannis are tied with six and still in first place by one point is Brody with seven. Number nine, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Adele Taber. This extinct species was also known as thylacene. Oh, boy. Come on, Corey. I saw online that this is also pronounced thylacine as well, but I hear it. But thylacine more often, it's THYLACIN. Nate, why do you know this? Because I like extinct species. Mm-hmm. But there's some species. I don't know. I might have some gumption with this question. Phil, I'm sorry that I stepped on your toes. Oh, no, that was important. I just didn't want to see a bunch of other have you do it in some schmo in the comments. Well, because if somebody, yeah, if they thought we were halfway through, but someone had seven points to think we'd change the rules of the game. Yeah, a bunch of bumbling fools in here. Yeah. The extinct species was also known as thylacine. Nate is confident, Randall is confident. Brody, say that. Maybe Yannis has a blank board. Oh, he's losing it. I love it. Logan with a. I love how Nate tries to like throw his weight around. Hey, you know, I'm not going to win. I'm just going to get a top crap, dude. There's very little context in this question. Stink species was also known as thylacine. I was going to say that. What a dick. But I'm glad you said that. It's so good to be here in the Bozeman office. Oh, boy. Hey, I'll take you out to lunch after this loss. Oh, I appreciate that, Yannis. Little team lunch. Oh, little team lunch. Can I come? Get some. The only time we get lunch is when Yannis comes. Yeah.

Oh, I was going to, I was going to ask if Willem DeFoe has made a movie in which he hunts one of these. That's right. He has. I think Steve loves about that. Yeah, it doesn't love the movie. Love to talk about the movie. Most biologists believed Tasmanian tigers went extinct sometime in the 1950s. While others think they might have made it into the 21st century. One of the most optimistic researchers is Bertie Brook, a mammal ecologist from the University of Tasmania. He believes there's a 10% chance that the Tasmanian tiger is still alive, but is ready to admit their extinct if a clear photograph isn't produced by the year 2031. Four, five years left. Spoon trail. There is a picture of one on our screen that Phil is showing us that was one of the last remaining ones that I think died in a zoo. All right, here's a correct answer review so far.

According to the forest or on some neighboring public lands, he thinks that that and garlic mustard are the two existential major threats to forests. We have honey, circle in our landscape. And we planned this last year. And it did the best out of every single thing we put it down. It's crushing it. The pollinators love it, especially the hummingbirds. We had like a two week window where hummingbirds showed up. And that was their preferred plan. It was a honey suck. And I'm going to go spend hundreds of dollars and many hours of my time trying to kill it. There you go. Black and honey are the two main types of this tree, which shares its name with an insect. It's everybody ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, Logan says Walnut Randall says, Locus Corey says, Maple, Yannis and Brody say, Locus, the correct answer is Locus. There are about a dozen types of Locus trees and shrubs that are native to North America with most occurring in the South and East. They are popular in landscaping and also planted in old strip mines to help fix nitrogen in the soil. I think it might be black. Locus has one of the highest BTUs for five wood, like a ball. They also have the pods that have like the cladding. We used that one in our yard when I was a kid. You had this big seed pods. Yeah, we'd play with those things. Honey Locus or black Locus.
