MeatEater Trivia Episode 827 is a game show where six contestants compete in a 10-round trivia competition covering hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Brody wins with a perfect 8-point score, donating $600 to the New Mexico Wildlife Federation.
Insights
- Trivia game shows can effectively drive conservation donations by tying competition outcomes to charitable giving
- Multi-vertical content (hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking) creates broader engagement opportunities than single-topic formats
- Backup camera mandates represent a significant safety regulation milestone that took years to implement across major markets
- Waxworms are underutilized as fishing bait despite their effectiveness for panfish and even record-breaking carp catches
- Duck breast cooking temperatures are standardized across professional culinary sources (James Beard Foundation, Danielle Pruitt)
Trends
Conservation-focused entertainment gaining traction as engagement mechanism for outdoor industryOutdoor recreation app adoption accelerating (AllTrails at 90M users)Regulatory harmonization across vehicle safety standards (backup cameras: US 2018, Canada 2018, EU 2022, Australia 2027)Fishing bait innovation and education becoming content opportunity for outdoor mediaMulti-format content strategy (podcast + YouTube + recipe content) driving audience retentionOutdoor industry figures (Phil Robertson) becoming trivia/pop culture referencesByatch awareness in commercial fishing becoming mainstream conservation talking pointState-level natural symbol standardization (sugar maple as official state tree in 4 states)

Randall•Early game discussion
"By catch is one of the biggest issues both ecologically and economically facing the future of commercial fishing."
Noah•Question 6 - Conservation

Spencer (reading Noah's definition)•Question 6 - Conservation
"Nobody press on my stomach."
Joey Tribbiani (Friends clip)•Question 8 - Meat Sweats

It's a meet-eater podcast. Welcome to Meet Eaters Trippie at the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Janice Brody, Randall, Alissa, Corey, Seth and Tressa. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meet Eaters 4 verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there's a prize. Meet Eaters will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 12. That's how many weeks it's been since Randall last won a game of trivia that I hosted. His last victory was on November 5th of full three months ago. That's me Randall. Oh, the Nate, I won when Nate will you. But I said when I was hosting. What's been going on Randall? Three months. Well, I've just, I've lost all confidence. I think I also think that there is an unconscious effort on your part to change the questions. I think it would be very difficult for you as you're reading the questions to be like, uh, for you to not say to yourself, that's one that Randall would know, but nobody else would know. Like I think you've learned me and you've now retroactively sort of begun dabbling and conspiracies there. I don't know. It's just human nature. When you're looking at your questions, you're like, is this a good game or not? You'd weed out the ones that I'm good at. But when I would not do that, Brody. No, because I feel like Brody, I feel like Brody has more shared knowledge you're saying. I feel like there's, I feel like it's got knowledge, buddy. Yeah, Brody, I don't know that I could pick out like what Brody knows. But like pop culture questions, things of this nature. I just, I don't know. That's the only way there's nothing that's happened to my end. Okay. Your hair's gotten longer. It has, it has 2026 now. I need someone to cut my hair. I'll do it. There's plenty of people. Well, we could do a real good viral video of doing that right now. How would you cut his hair? I want to do it on radio live, actually. While I'm sitting in the host chair, I want someone to cut my hair. I can do multiple different cuts. One being a buzz cut in different lengths. That's what I'm looking for. I could go on. But yeah, let me know. I want like a feathered, I want like a salon style feathered cut above the ears. Just, I don't want them on my ears. Business up front party in the back. I think you should do a mallet. That's what I'm leading towards. Yeah. I could do that. Okay. Let's talk. November 5th, Randall. The world was a different place then. The rut was just arriving. We were also full of energy. I did have a traumatic experience on a deer hunt. Okay. Crushed my confidence. You said that nothing happened in your world. But now I think we've gone to the bottom of it. Oh God. This is 2025 hunting season. Maybe there is something broke something inside of you. Are you just as wounded as that buck? I can feel my face getting hot right now. All right. IFAQ. If you have an IFAQ send it to trivia at the meatyder.com with the subject line IFAQ. Sam Heathorn says, why don't we see more bloopers or outtakes? This podcast doesn't get any editing. The most editing Phil does is like if we put a movie clip in, he has to take that out. So, stay tuned for later in this episode to see the only editing that we do. You hear bloopers and outtakes on the show. It's my chop so we're here because it just doesn't get taken out. We have some housekeeping on a previous episode of trivia. We had a question about the sixth letter word defined as a sudden brief and intense storm of wind and snow. Be correct and answer was squall. But a few listeners wrote in asking if I'd also accept flurry. Flurry's definition is especially of snow or leaves that are moved in a small swirling mass by a sudden gust of wind. Six letters almost the same definition. So if you said flurry will give you that point as well. Right. The Shelby index for the time. I don't think it has the connotation of intensity. I don't think so either. But it didn't affect anything in this room. So for the listeners, the like half dozen of them who wrote in. They went through the effort to get that point. We're going to give them that point. If we were playing that day though, the quarry said flurry. I don't think we would accept. For someone who's like, oh man, we're driving home and we got caught in a snow flurry. I don't think that makes sense. Sure. Not the same intensity. It depends on where you're from. If you're from the south, you make sure to squall. But if you're pretty used to it, like I was just a little. That's true. It's a little flurry. We just had a little squall come through. Yeah. That's the last snow for like the next two weeks. I'd call that a flurry. That felt flurry adjacent to me. We never saw it. We would have a bonkir. It was dry. It was dry. It was hot. When we came in here, we came out as a nice engine to have coating. Was it last week we had like a textbook squall come through where you could see the wall coming from the west that moved across the whole valley. That was like a textbook squall I think. They used to have an all the time in Pennsylvania and then people would pile it up on interstate 80. Like big pile of. That was a dangerous stretch of highway, man. Before you get to stay college, that real hilly windy section by 80. Spooky, squall or flurry. All right, the shall be in next for today is four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of tripping. You can play the drop, Phil. I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Game on suckers. Question one, the topic is cooking and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to the James Beard Foundation, a medium rare duck breast is this temperature. Is it 120 degrees Fahrenheit, 130 degrees, 140 degrees, or 150 degrees? According to the James Beard Foundation, a medium rare duck breast is this temp. 120, 130, 140, or 150. And for our listeners who measure these things and Celsius, that is 49 degrees, 54 degrees, 60 degrees, or 66 degrees. Look at this guy. What's up, Canada? That's right. The rest of the world. According to the James Beard Foundation, a medium rare duck breast is this temp. For all of you to like it simpler, 120 degrees. 120 degrees. An easier. 130 degrees, 140 degrees, or 150 degrees. And again, in Celsius, that's 49, 54, 60, or 66. If it's not what I chose, I'm going to argue with James Beard Foundation. I'm not going to change. I will tell you that Danielle Pruitt agrees with James Beard. In her duck breast recipe, she has the exact same medium rare. I believe that she and I are on the same page. Go ahead. And reveal your answer. Seth says 130. Alyssa 140. Randall 130. Cory 130. Tresa 120. Yannis 130. Brody 130. The correct answer is 130. Thank you, Danielle. It roomed it very well. That is 54 degrees Celsius for our international listeners. Danielle Pruitt agrees with James Beard, saying medium rare is 130 degrees on a duck breast. And that you can press on the meat to feel for doneness like you would for a steak. To learn how to cook a medium rare duck, go check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe on our website called How to Cook the Perfect Duck Breast. That recipe has a perfect five star rating from folks who have tried it. Oh, boy. If you want to see how to cook a medium rare mergans or breasts, you should stay tuned also. Yeah. Stay tuned on our YouTube channel. Yeah. Is that a row set of episodes or is it that a Steve project? Steve project. Yeah. Yeah. It's a passion project for Steve. Yeah. Brody cooked up a bunch of duck breasts and we ate them all. You got to stay tuned out to watch. So we cooked up a bunch of duck bread. What we had in mergans or what else? I assume I ordered. I ordered. I ordered the gold standard. Mm. Like. And some pinto. The leaning towards not good. No. No. No. Very not good. The vish eater on mergans. Question two, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Eric Maxon. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank is famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. So we're looking for his last name. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank is famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Alyssa and Brody have an answer. Alyssa, do you have this one right? Maybe my care's watch or something, but I think I know it. Brody's confident he answered very quickly. Alyssa says she maybe has it. Yannis has joined them with an answer. Yannis, do you have this one right? Let's check Brody. Close. Oh, all right. Baby is closing up. He can't reach it now. For the last name of this person. Okay, isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation I would say yes. And he currently has a blank wipe. No, I wrote down a joke answer already. I've just, I don't even know what these shows are. Hmm. Which is weird because you knew what Captain Planet was. But that's what you grew up with. Yeah. Biologist and conservationist Jeff Blank, his famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Now, if you're asking me, I just, yeah, these are current shows. Not giving you any hints. I want to just say Mark Props to producer of survivor, but get that wrong. Is that his name? Jeff Blank. Oh, maybe that's an answer. But I don't think he's a bio-inducent conservationist. He's not a conservationist. Blank. Famous for hosting Disney's Going Wild and ABC's Ocean Mysteries. Could be Jeff Probe. Is everybody ready? No. Somebody write Jeff Probe just to see. It's right. Oh, put it back. Put it back. Put it back. I'll change. Just to see it. It's right. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth, without an answer, Lissa says. Oh, we were thinking of Seth. Randall says, Dr. Ian Malcolm. Cory says, Goldbloom. Tressa Goldbloom. What a gold. Janice Goldwin, Brody Corwin. The correct answer is Corwin. Brody got it. And C-O-R-W-I-N-Jep Corwin. Err. Phil has a picture of him for us. Other shows he's worked on include the Jeff Corwin Experience Ocean Trex, Wildlife Nation, and into Alaska. His hosting and producing has earned him two daytime Emmy awards in 2014 and 2016. He also played himself in a 2003 episode of CSI Miami where he helped detectives retrieve a human foot from a live crocodile. Wow. That photo makes me uncomfortable. You recognize him now? Who's the guy in the blue shirt? It's Mark Kenyon. That's Jeff Cohen's favorite. You didn't know that was him? No. I think that picture is probably about 20 years old. It's not a monkey. It's the orangutan. He does have some Mark Kenyon vibes though. A good joke. Cool. Question three is a topic. The topic is outdoors. With 90 million users, all blank says it's, quote, the best app for you. The best app for hiking, biking, and running. A confident room. It's maybe seven for seven. With 90 million users, all blank says it's, quote, the best app for hiking, biking, and running. Never used it. It's a lot of users. I never used it either. 90 million. 90 million users, all blank, says it's the best app. I have it on my phone. I take isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation isolation like recent data from actual like people who are on the trail. It's been on right now. Yeah. It's everybody ready or between April 15th and June 15th. Someone said to Black Bear on a trail. And reveal your answer. The whole room says trails. The whole room got it right. Correct answer is all trails. All trails was created in 2010. It was named one of the hundred best apps by Android in 2017. It provides route information for more than half a million trails worldwide. All trails has a free version, along with a premium membership for $36 a year or $80 a year. Question for the topic is fishing. I better cancel that. You think you're paying for one of the premium ones? Yeah, he's expensive. Oh, maybe I'm not. Guess he's for a premium. I probably would be free one. Question for the topic is fishing. This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a B-Moth. Randall has his answer. Cory has an answer, but it must not be seven letters. No, I have some of this in my freezer. This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a B-Moth. Brody, do you have this one right? I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. I got seven letters. Randall, do you have this one right? I got seven letters. It aligns with part of the idea of what a B-Moth is. What this bait will turn into. I never make it that far. This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a B-Moth. Do you have seven letters now, Cory? I do. You solved it. I hope so, man. I bet you got it. You think? Yeah. Cool. Seth's still working out. Thanks. He's going to want to go ice fishing. Oh. Oh. That's a tip. This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch. Seth's still working out. Yeah. Will eventually turn into a B-Moth. I bet he owns it. Cory gave multiple hints now to Seth. I mean, yeah. What other bait are we could be talking about? Seth, do you have this? Well, there's a lot of baits out there, Cory. Well, I don't know. Cory has dropped two fat hints. Two set. Good one. I wasn't thinking about it. Oh, okay. I bet if you were to hear them, you might have come up with crawler. No. This seven letter bait has a grub-like body that's dry to the touch and will eventually turn into a B-Moth. Is everybody ready? I'm sorry. I'm going to go in there. Go in there. This is scribbling down real quick. It kind of fits. It is. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Wiggler. Alyssa says, linear? Larva. Randall, waxworm, Cory, waxworm. Tressam, Minnow, Yannis, and Brody say waxworm. It is a waxworm. It turns into a B-Moth, or it's also known as a wax moth. Oh. I want to tell you that. It would have been too easy. It can take days or months for them to turn into cocoons with the process being temperature-dependent. Waxworms are especially popular among ice anglers and are used to catch panfish and trout. But the small baits can also attract bigger fish like the Nebraska state record common carp, which weighed 40 pounds and was caught on a waxworm. I believe Steven or Noah claims to put these in his lip like chew to keep them like in a fresh state. And then he just always has them to put on his hook. No way. He's on the ice. I mean, maybe. Maybe it's a wide maggots. Did that with split shot? Yeah. Maybe it was split shot. You're right. I like the idea of it being a waxworm. Yeah. I call it a lot. I never fish with waxworm. Oh, Cory Sant was that you probably have some of these and he said it makes them. I don't use them either. I don't feel like I stay on the hook. No, it's Christmas. Yeah, it's not really that great fishing bait. I feel like in eastern South Dakota where I grew up, this is just like the standard bait for catching a perch or a croppy through the ice. Oh, maggots. Oh, maggots. Yeah. maggots here. Waxworms. Which is also seven letters, by the way, that will turn into a bee moth. Question five, the topic. What's going on over there, buddy? Showing off his hair. What do I do? And he's cutting. Question five, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Mr. Savage. Mr. Savage. That was what his email was and he didn't tell me his real name. So we're just saying Mr. Savage. Mr. Beast. Hall of Famer, Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the duck dynasty family. I got some color commentary for you. Okay. We are not going to accept it, Jeopardy Rules on this one. You need verse and last name for me. Hall of Famer, Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the duck dynasty family. You have this one right, Randall. Oh, without a question. You have this one right. Tell me who their rival quarterback is. I got it right 100%. Okay. I don't have that in my flavor. Texts. They have to qualify that. No. That guy played in NFL. No, no, this is people he calls in high school. College. This is high school. Pretty sure it's college. No, it's college. We will talk about it afterwards. I don't think I'm providing any hints, but we'll say all of those details for the play. Someone from the duck dynasty. Hall of Famer, Terry Bradshaw. I get it was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the duck dynasty family. Were they roommates in college? Something like that. Is this guy the preacher? I'm giving you any hints. Don't preach. Everything you need to know. Terry Bradshaw was his backup. Super religious guy of the duck dynasty. Oh, I'm sorry. What's that? This was a show. That's right. I can't think it was last name. First names work. No, we're going to. That's probably the harder one to come up with though of this. You've done it backwards for this one. Hall of Famer. Terry Bradshaw was the backup quarterback to this patriarch of the duck dynasty family. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. Brody's confident. Randall's confident. Seth is confident. Yeah. Johnny with a blank whiteboard. Cory, do you have this one? I don't think so. Okay. Alyssa, you think you have the first name of this person. Have you come up with the last name yet? I can't draw any blanks. Okay. Is everybody ready? Yeah, his confidence is so low. He's just writing his answer. Everyone can say that. He's putting his own name down. He's just putting some common names down. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Phil Robertson. Oh, I love you. I love you. Phil. Randall says Phil Robertson. Cory goes with Uncle Si Robertson that fills brother. He didn't seem like a football player. Tress it without an answer. Yannis without an answer. Brody says Phil Robertson. The correct answer is Phil Robertson. Phil Robertson started 16 games for Louisiana Tech in the late 60s. Robertson threw for 2,237 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 34 interceptions. He quit the team to pursue a career in the hunting industry and went on to create Duck Commander and Duck Dynasty. His backup Terry Bradshaw went to the NFL where he won four Super Bowls and was elected to the Hall of Fame. What do you have, Dustin? What do you have, Dustin? Canaan Ball run? Well, their high school rival was Dan Butch Flores. Oh, Dan Flores of... Okay, I didn't know that. The American West. That was Phil Robertson's high school rival. Yeah, he played against both those guys. Oh, that's great. Yeah, I didn't know that. I mean, he went by Butch then, which is why I included that, which I think is what threw you off. But yeah, Dan was Southwest Louisiana or Northwest Louisiana. He grew up in Nacadish and played football against these gents. He was a standout athlete. Different era. Phil Robertson started 16 games. Is that weird? 12 touchdowns and 34 interceptions. What position did Dan? Quarterback. Yeah, they're doing quarterbacks. Wow. What a weird career. The three of them when I had a reaction to that tidbit was really muted in this room. I think my delivery was all off. The Butch really does. Yeah, I thought that was fun. I thought that was a fun tidbit. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard on my motor. Phil actually just showed us a picture of Louisiana Tech, Phil Robertson. Can you go back on Phil? I'm sorry. Oh, well, I showed the audience already. There it is. Yannis and Tressa. And then God to see it there. All right. Here at half time, we've got Alyssa and Tressa with one point. Seth Corey and Yannis are tied up with three. Randall has four and Brody Butch. Anderson has a perfect game with five points. Yeah, perfect game. Buck Dynasty. Oh, no, they already have that one. Buck Command. Buck Command. Welcome to Meet Eaters 12 and 26, presented by Moultre Mobile and On X Maps. One 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 6, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via John Schlesinger. Noah defined this word as, quote, discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Noah defines this word as, quote, discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Randall quick to answer, Brody quick to answer, Cory, do you have this one right? I think so. Good things, Billing doesn't count. Yannis joining them. Seth joining them with an answer. Both ways and like, which one most better? Noah defines this word as, discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. We boring you Randall. Hmm. Are we boring you? No, I was trying to find a picture of Dan playing football. I was still trying to recover from the reaction that that story got. Yannis looking at the North Cato Parish newspaper. I have an answer. Pretty confident in it. Seth, do you have this one? I think so. Trested you have this one. Okay. Discarded catch of marine species and unobserved mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing vessels and gear. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. It says by catch, Alyssa, Chum, Randall, by catch, Cory, by catch some creative spellings from Cory and Seth. And Yannis without an answer. What's going on? Yannis, also me. Crab spelling, bi catch and Brody by catch. The correct answer is by catch. The catch. Please spell it. B-Y-C-A-T-C-H. That's what I was saying. Cory said, just look weird. Cory said, by catch. B-Y-C-A-T-C-H. B-Y-C-A-T-C-H. By catches typically fish, but it can also be dolphins, whales, sharks, sea turtles, sea birds, coral and more. Noah says by catch is one of the biggest issues facing, is one of the biggest issues both ecologically and economically facing the future of commercial fishing. It's estimated that globally 40% of the biomass caught by commercial anglers is some form of bi catch. Question 7, the topic is hunting. What are the two types of blacktail deer recognized by Boon and Crockett and Pope Nyang? Those record books recognize two different types of blacktail you need to tell me what they are. Again, we're on question 7. Brody, Randall, Seth, Yannis. Already have their answers locked in. Cory seems like he's come up with one. Stumped up, okay. Two types. Somehow, Gibroni came up yesterday in the house and the girls didn't know. And so we followed up. Yeah. And uh, read a little AI thing about it. And uh, we've, you've probably talked about this how it's like a, how Dwayne, the rock Johnson, that's right. But after reading all that, like I'm never going to use that term on anybody again. It's terrible. Yeah. I would be so bummed if you called it Gibroni. What's the definition? He looked at me before he started saying. Well, yeah, no, I mean, Spencer fills the room. That's right. It's sometimes it's only the definition. Oh, it's terrible. It is bad. It's so it Gibroni was in, in wrestling. No, it's like the Washington generals. It's exact. In wrestling in like the 70s and 80s when they would travel around, they would need someone for the ultimate warrior to beat up on. And those people were called jobbers. And their job is to just show up and lose. And then that became corrupted to be being a Gibroni instead of a jobber. So if you're a Gibroni, your job is just to show up and lose. So that crack with what you saw. Similar. Yeah, we're pretty tough, honestly. We can handle it. We have whatever you want. We have some meat eater trivia participants who know they're not going to win. But they show up and they have a great attitude. And so it's an affectionate term here. It's just looked at me. I know. Because my heart hurts for you. I like that this affected you, you honest. Is everybody ready? Such an empathetic guy. Did you call someone a Gibroni? And then they're like, what's a Gibroni? How did that come up? How did it? I don't know. I can't remember how it came up. But yeah, no, there's a lot of name calling that happens at certain times in my house. I think it's somehow I interjected with like, oh, yeah, you could call her a Gibroni if you wanted to. I was like, let's do it that means. Let's just go with loser. Randall's example of the generals who just always lose to the globe trotters. That's a perfect example. I think they have one victory every right now. It was a total accident. They're like, consta riot. The one time the Gibroni's one. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Sitka and Columbia, Blacktail. Alyssa says Western and Eastern. Randall, Columbia, Sitka, Corey, California, Sitka, Tresa, Washington, Oregon, Janice, and Brody say Columbia and Sitka, the two Blacktail deer are Columbia and Sitka. The minimum score for a typical Columbia Blacktail for Pope and Young is 95 and for Boone and Crockett is 125. For typical Sitka Blacktails, it's 75 for Pope and Young and 100 for Boone and Crockett. There is some slight naming difference with Boone and Crockett referring to them as Columbia Blacktails while Pope and Young calls them Columbian Blacktails. So Pope and Young, Columbian, Boone and Crockett, Columbia. Question 8, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Adam Ressler. This two-word term, which is caused by the thermic effect of protein digestion, was popularized in a 2001 Thanksgiving episode of Friends.

Yeah, you want some Slipper A little bigger A bigger What are you afraid you're gonna run out? Cut me a real piece And there was Phil's one edit of the episode Randall was poking all kinds of holes in that Friend sitcom episode but Tress explained to me that there's a whole plot that I didn't understand. Oh, what was the rest of the plot? Give her the mic y'all we need to know Remember right it was just that Monica wasn't gonna cook Thanksgiving that year She was tired of doing it every year and then Joey said that he would eat the entire turkey. Oh, okay You know what that's good context. Yeah, so there's no there's a reason that they don't have any plates or sides on the table eyes And then the laugh track audience really love that meat sweats Joe the acting was my favorite part You know what's the meat sweats funny Well Connoisseur microphone Hot dog connoisseur Randall The way that he consumes Kott dogs I just Thought that you would have experienced it more than anybody else in this room Then and that I just thought it was funny and then I thought that in this moment you're gonna start sweating And then anybody would look over at you and just see meat sweats written on your forehead Yeah, so You just invented a scene There's nothing at your end. Yeah, that's good. I do have no I associate this more with like a giant Prime rib Dinner you know like when you go to a place and there's like four sides of prime rib The way too big one. That's what I think about now we all know you had the meat sweats legit I mean, I don't know that I've ever identified it as such but I definitely have photos of me At dinners where I'm uncomfortable and sweaty I'm thinking of one of the explanation one in particular that what was it?
