It's media podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the only game show where
conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer new Arth and
today we're joined by Jannis, Brody, Randall, Seth, Corey and Logan.
This is a ten round quiz show with questions from
Meat Eater's for verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking,
and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate five
hundred dollars to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.

(00:33):
The last episode, we had Brody and Giannis go to
overtime with both players having a perfect game. That's only
happened once before in one hundred and eighty episodes, meaning
it occurs slightly more than one percent of the time.
That's about the same odds as getting audited by the Irs,
or flipping a coin seven times and getting heads every

(00:55):
single time, or drawing a rifle mule deer tag on
the Arizona Strip as a non resident with twenty six points,
or a girl born in America between the years two
thousand and twenty nineteen being named Emma. All those things,
about one percent of the time was going to be Taylor.
You think that's two thousand and twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, I don't know. I was just tying into your
interests in pop culture.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Emma, Emma's been hot in the streets the last two decades.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We had a dog named Emma.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Growing up.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You were set in the trend set.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Maybe doubt it.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Audited by the irs? Yanni, how many times you've been
audited by the IRS?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Zero?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I was reading You're most likely to be audited if
you claim over ten million dollars or zero dollars or less.
So I was getting my antanas. We're going to be
up if you said that you've been audited you haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Though, Yeah, i'd have a lot more land.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I think he's got his cash buried on his sand
I am.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I am for the first time ever this upcoming year
going to pay a legit CPA to do all my
stuff because it's getting complicated fans. I feel like I'm
growing up kind of in a way, domesticating myself.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Out of college, I was freelancing, and I remember being
so stressed about doing my own taxes as a freelancer,
Like what if I miss a two hundred dollars invoice
for North American whitetail. And then that same year, I
went to New York City for the first time, and
I remember being on the cab going into the city
and seeing like all the buildings and cars and people
and being like they they have no idea I even exist.

(02:31):
I could do anything I want, Like, I am so
far from their radar. I don't think I need to
worry about expensing printer ink when I was like twenty
three in freelance.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
I do my taxes honestly, but I always feel like
I shouldn't be doing them. Yeah, I feel like I'm
doing something I shouldn't be. Like if someone walked in,
they'd be like, what are you doing? And I didn't
touch it? These are important looking documents.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I didn't touch anything.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It just like gives me a little nervous energy each time.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Aren't you worried every time that you're leaving a little
bit on the table.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, but that little amount may not be recouped by
a CPA.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, you're honest, is writing off Amo and Turkey call
no listen.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I'm halfway through the hour log consultation. I was like, basically,
here's the deal. I need to save more than what
I'm paying to you and they're like, oh yeah, we
got this, no problem.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now here's our Infrequently Asked Question segment. If you have
a trivia related question for our crew, send it to
Trivia at the medeater dot com with the subject line
I FAQ. Griffin Caruthers says, how is the listener question
of the week decided? Are all submissions put into a
draw or dispenser just decide his favorite? No, I just
picked my favorite from that week. There's four questions every

(03:47):
week from listeners that make it into the script. I
just pick my favorite one that I think is best
for the show, that's closest to something I would write that.
I think maybe like half the room would get right.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
How often do you just make up your own infrequently
asked question up an aliens?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm telling you, Yanni, I've never done it. People send
the questions. You've been in the inbox.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
You see him us.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
No housekeeping today. But the Shelby index is a three
point five winner should get seven correct answers, and with
that we're onto the game of trivia. Play the drop pill. Look,
I need to know what I stand to win everything.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
You just tend to win everything.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Demon suckers if I was inventing my own I f
a q Yanni, I wouldn't make it a last name
that I struggled to pronounce, just like Lewis Carruthers in.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
American Spencer, because you're slicking up in there like. Of course,
this wouldn't be me. This name is too hard for
my simple brain to pronounce.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Question one. The topic is conservation, and as always, this
will be multiple choice. Which of these states does not
have pika? Is it Washington, Arizona, Utah, or Organ? Pika,
peka p i K? I looked it up and it
said pika or pika, But that's what you're talking about,

(05:20):
is a p I K? A Potato state does not
have pica? Washington, Arizona, Utah or Organ. I can add
more context to that pronunciation after this, Which of these
states does not have pika? Washington, Arizona, Utah, or Organ?

(05:44):
Such cute little critter pika digayo?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Not quite but close.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yup.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Three of those states have pica. One of them does not, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Oregon.
Is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers? We
have saying Arizona, Corey, Arizona Randall Arizona, Logan, Oregon. Giannis
and Brody say Arizona. They got it. The correct answer

(06:15):
is Arizona. Pika are found in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah,
and New Mexico. The National Wildlife Federation says they are
especially sensitive to climate change, with warmer weather leading to
their disappearance from one third of their range in Oregon

(06:35):
and Nevada. They are adapted to live in frigid areas
and can die from heat exposure when temperatures rise above
seventy eight degrees. I just saw my first pika in
Last and Volcanic National Park. I actually ran into the
people who are trying to trap them. One of them said,
at Pico. One of them said, pika, Mmm, I have
no pica. Has anyone seen pika before? Yeah, all the time,

(07:00):
everyone in the whole room.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Ye, all the time, all.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
The time, every time I go out.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
But they do sound like marmots, So you can't assume
that that big, high pitch squeak up in the high
alpine rocks is a pika.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I didn't know you spent that much time up in
pika country.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Kill the gals.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I know where he hunts. He ain't up in pika
country where he's chasing bulls around, are you No?

Speaker 7 (07:23):
No, that's two different next to the woods, he's up
there when he's hunting pikas.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
It sounds like pardon my plate or snipe Question two.
The topic is hunting. This next great question is via
Kevin George. What does the archery acronym f o C
stand for?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yny bone here?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Spencer, Well, it looks like we have six confident players.
Everyone's quick to write. What does the archery acronym f
o C stand for? Those trappers in last and Volcanics
said they trap about two a year. They see him
and hear them, but they're very wiley and hard.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Is it their full time job? No?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I didn't gather it was.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I've been on a few hunts, alpine hunts where you're
not seeing a lot of other critters, and it seems
like the only other living thing out there with you
is a pica.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's fun.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
What does the archery acronym FOC stand for? Oh?

Speaker 3 (08:23):
No, Oh, make sure you get it right.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Corey going back to the board. MM shoot random.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Not confident at all? Spencer? Oh no, really not really.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean I I have a good acronym one for
my upcoming.

Speaker 8 (08:42):
I literally looked this up this morning, not not what
it stood for, but I was trying to calculate my
FOC my arrows, and I didn't look at what the acronym.
I know the general idea of what it is, but
I'm between two f words.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have set saying front of center, Cory front of center,
Randall forward of center, Right front of center, Yannis forward
of center, Brody front of center.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
I feel like I'm in good company here.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
The correct answer is front of and I was like,
I don't think that's I don't think it's it. FOC
or front of center, describes the percentage of the arrow's
total weight that is located in the front half of

(09:37):
the arrow. In general, a high FOC means your arrow
will fly with good stability, but will nose dive at
long distances. In An arrow with low FOC holds its
trajectory better but can fly erratically. Easton recommends ten to
fifteen percent FOC for hunting setups. For a For more
on the FOC debate, go read Dylan Tramp's article in

(09:59):
the dot com called our high front of center arrows overrated?

Speaker 9 (10:05):
Are they honest?

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Logan, what was your calculation?

Speaker 9 (10:10):
Like?

Speaker 8 (10:10):
Twelve point seven percent?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Okay, right in where Easton says is the sweet spot
for a hunting setup. Yanni, do you know what your
foc is?

Speaker 9 (10:17):
Well?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I have several three different arrow setups running these days,
and the lowest is about twelve and a half and
the highest is like twenty one.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You notice a big difference when you shoot those twos?

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (10:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's crazy like the once I shot
last year at a higher foc and I feel like
it's a more noticeable like thump when it hits hits things.
I'm not sure if that translates to actual penetration, but.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Oh, it goes through those white tailed deer bones and
shoulders and anything that's in them, just like they don't
even know. It just zips them and they run, take
a couple of steps, and they go hung.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
That's weird.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I feel a little woozy.

Speaker 8 (10:55):
What's your preference out of those three? You said you
have three different setups close range?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I like the super heavy because I don't need the time,
because I don't think they're going to jump my strength
at fifteen yards no matter what. Right, but the farther
I get out, I like to have a little more speedy.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Question three. The topic is gear. This sporting good store
with an educational name has over one third of its
three hundred one locations in Texas. Randall and Browdie quick
to answer, Seth Logan Yanni joining them. This sporting good

(11:32):
store was an educational name has over one third of
its three hundred one locations in Texas.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think you should. I think you should google out
to see if they would accept center.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, that's a great call.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Let's see.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I got that Arizona question.

Speaker 9 (11:51):
We've already moved on.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I am not seeing anything that says forward of center. Sorry, honest,
I'm sorry. I'm not going to take it again. We're
on question three. This sporting good store with an educational
name has over one third of its three hundred and
one locations in Texas. It's everybody ready? Are you google? Randall?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I mean, I just why not.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I believe that this sporting goods store is going to
be carrying some first light.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I believe you're right to go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have seth saying Academy. Corey says Dix Randall and
the Logan and Beannis and Brody say Academy. They got it.
The correct answer is Academy. Academy opened in nineteen thirty
eight in its home state of Texas. They plan to

(12:43):
open about one hundred and seventy more locations in the
next five years. Academy sales hunting, fishing, and camping gear,
along with the sporting goods, footwear and apparel. I know
Phelps is currently an Academy. Maybe more mediator umbrella stuff
on the way. Question for the topic is wildlife. This
next great question is via Mariah Hoefer. This twelve letter

(13:05):
word is defined as quote, a technique used by animals
such as bats and dolphins to determine the location of
objects using the reflection of sound waves.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
That was I've definitely heard of this heard this word.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
This twelve letter word is defined as a technique used
by animals such as bats and dolphins to determine the
location of objects using the reflection of sound waves. Randal,
you wrote that down before it even popped up.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
On the board.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
I mean, I think I smell collusion.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
No I just I read it when it popped up
on the stuff earlier.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I know.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Actually I didn't google anything because it wouldn't let me
access the Internet because my phone's on airplane? Who's been
texting and slacking this whole time? Phil, I hope the
audio isn't compromised by my competitors airplane, malfeas.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
And Wi Fi.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
All right, wow, but even though some of us are
in here, some of us still have to work.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Hey, Phil, when this is over, we got to talk
about dates for roasts? Okay?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
All right?

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Is Phil competing or judging way better than slack.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Compete?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
This twelve letter word is defined as a technique used
by animals such as bats and dolphins to determine the
location of objects using the reflection of sound waves. Randall
very quick to answer, Brody, do you have this one right?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Joannis and Seth have blank white.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Archery and talk for Archery talk Forum. There's a post, Uh,
what exactly is fo C? FOC stands for ford of center, podium, archer, arrowweight,
and FOC parentheses forward of center. There's a video by
Grizzly Stick how to find the forward of center of
an arrow. There's one by n one outdoors, calculate forward

(14:57):
of center.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
The easy way there's.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
I'm in back archery forward of center to.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Your trad ball.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
You slack me like your two best pieces of evidence there,
and there's.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
So much I'm gonna need to have an according to
in that that question, Spencer, Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
No, Traditional bow Hunter magazine has a forward of center.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
Who's the authority on it?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Though? Like gold tip?

Speaker 6 (15:21):
To look up iron will gold tip.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Archery, they say forward.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
Well, in one point, in one place they say front
of center, and then later on a.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Lot of time to come up with the answer.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
You sent me a couple of these randal and we'll
look into them. We got We've got a lot of
game left here. Just just just I type in board
of center FOC and it shows everything is front of center.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
It's like parentheses around forward of center. Oh okay, we
have to have because.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Put in your answer.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Yeah, doing over there front ha, you got it, got it.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
It doesn't matter, Logan or you gotta snire in the
same boat.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
That's right. I need that point to go ahead and reveal.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Your answers have set without an answer. Corey and Randall say,
echo location, what's that say? Jannie? And Brody saying echo location.
They got it. The correct answer is echo location. This
technique is also used or is also known as biological sonar.
Besides bats and dolphins, other animals that use echolocation include whales, porpoises,

(16:40):
oil birds, and shrews. Some blind humans also use echolocation
through snapping their fingers, tapping a cane, or clicking their tongue.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
You know, logan, if you look that up enough places
on the internet, you put it out, you're right.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Question live.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
You know the elk do it with their with clicking
their bones and their and did not.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
They're they're locating stuff that way each other.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
M like that.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Question five the topic is fishing, it's not.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
They're not echoing though, they're just like listening to each
other's sound. Not the same, not the same question.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
When did you ask an elk this?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
How like? How the hell do we know that?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
He just watches them enough?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hus I read it in a Bugle magazine one time.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Question five, the topic is fishing. Name the three continents
that brown trout are native to?

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Three of seven?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Eh, there's a hint. Corey's told all of our players
how many continents there? I mean, name the three continents
that brown trout are native to man spell today.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Spelling doesn't count. What that's what they say.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Native too, that's right. Name the three continents that brown
trout are native to? Oh, Randall, did you slack me
your forward of center?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
No? I just told you how to find it.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I google forward of center, arrow all in parentheses and
everything is correcting the front of center. Oh. I'll take
your evidence again. We're on question five. We will get
a scoreboard update from Filled the engineer after this, although
those scores could change later in the game based on

(18:40):
this foc question. Name the three continents that brown trout
are native to.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Slack, jeez, the bane of my existence destinations?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Brody, how do you feel about your answer?

Speaker 9 (18:58):
Pretty good?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
How about you, Randall? Do you have this one right?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
All right, we now have a slack coming in from
Randall from Grizzly. Let's check out this stick does call
it forward of center?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, I wasn't making this whole up, But they.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Don't say front of center anywhere in here.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Do they have to use both? No?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
But it just makes me suspicious all of a sudden,
they're not even showing that. Name the three continents that
brown trout are native.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
To what part? What continents?

Speaker 4 (19:47):
That part?

Speaker 2 (19:48):
We have Corey and Seth debating what's a continent?

Speaker 6 (19:51):
I can't change it now, No, no, I mean I
wouldn't care.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'd give it to you. But you got another name.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
The three continents that brown trout er native Two?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, I thought they're just native to one this whole time.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah, same well two three though, So Spencer, I'm gonna
send you another article from Archery Hunting, and you might
begin to think that it's only using front of center,
but then later on in the section what is the
best foc for hunting errors for hunting arrows, the second
sentence uses forward of center.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now, this one source you sent me is Traditional Bowhunter Magazine,
who I do respect. They call it forward of center.
We may have an extra point here.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
And there's anybody that knows about Florida Center. It's some
trad bow huns.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
They care, Yanni, how are we doing on your continents?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh Man?

Speaker 6 (20:45):
To be honest, I have I have no authority on
this issue. I know nothing about archery, and I look
forward to all the comments on YouTube telling me that
I'm an idiot, But I'm gonna die on this.

Speaker 9 (20:55):
I wrote both down.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
We should move on. Does everybody have an answer?

Speaker 9 (20:59):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Fuck, I know that's wrong. So you got two.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Continents in a place, is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
You got two cots in a country. Answers we have
said saying North America, New Zealand and Asia. Corey says Europe, Australia, Asia,
Randall Europe, Asia, Africa, Africa. Logan North America, South America, Africa,

(21:30):
Giannis Europe, Asia, Africa, Africa. Brody Europe, Asia, Africa. Too
hot there for those, The three continents are Europe, Asia,
and Africa. Randall, Yanni Brody got that one right. The
brown trout's native range extends from Norway to Russia to Morocco.

(21:53):
Fly Fisherman magazine says they are the most predatory of
all species of trout, with a versatile diet that includes fish, mice, crayfish,
and more. All right, Phil, we are going to give
that point to Randall, and we for Forward of.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Logan also say forward.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
He got it right the right way.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
So brown trout aren't native to They're obviously not native
to this area.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
No, why the hell do we care so much about
them here?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's good because.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Of all species of trout, that's what it says. Yeah,
and at what point does an animal become native?

Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's also a good question.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
So a small mouth bass has just as much uh more,
I'd argue the more depends, so.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
There should be those.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
There should be more small mouth bass in the Madison
River than brown trout.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I would give them a greater lay to that claim.
I think you're right. You should start in a conservation orger.

Speaker 8 (22:57):
I'm gonna do that more fun of catching trout.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
They're trying to kill all the small mouth in the
Grand Canyon, but they don't care about the brown trout
that are in there.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
All right, Phil, scoreboard update, let's look at this what wow?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Oh, that looks better than I thought.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Logan's in last place the two points Seth and Korey
have three. And now with that scoring update, we have
three perfect games in Randall.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
All right, kicking and screaming, but we got there.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I guess it's a time question Game question six. The
topic is wildlife. This is our listener question of the Week,
which was won by Matt Corkoran for sending this great question.
Matt is going to get a board game signed by
the crew. If you want a chance to win our
listener question of the Week, then send your question to
Trivia at the meat Eater dot com. This squid is

(23:51):
the world's heaviest invertebrate and has the world's biggest eyeball.
M squid is the world's heaviest.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I feel like something on Instagram just popped up about
a video biggest eyeball.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Did they just get like a video of this spencer?
I don't know about that. Matt sent this question a
long time ago, years ago, so he did not get
influenced by last week's ince.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I feel like they just got like a the first
video it like attacked the lure.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
M.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
The squid is the world's heaviest invertebrate and has the
world's biggest eyeball. Randall very quick to answer, Brody, do
you have this one right?

Speaker 9 (24:39):
I hope so, you know I'll find it on the
internet if I.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
Mean clearly there's evidence to back up my my assertion.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yanni, do you have a squid?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Your whiteboard?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I think so. Yeah. I made up a big squid name.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
This squid is the world vertebrate. Toquz is everybody ready?

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Max Squid?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
We have sets saying giant squid, giant squid, randall, giant squid, giants,
logan Arctic squid, Yiannis, giant Pacific squid, Browdie, giant squid,
give us a.

Speaker 9 (25:25):
Little too much?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Nobody got it. The correct answer is colossal squid slightly
bigger than a giant break out. The Internet have weighed
in at eleven hundred pounds, but beats recovered from sperm
whale stomachs suggest they can exceed thirteen hundred pounds. Their

(25:46):
eyeballs grow up to ten inches in diameter, which is
bigger than a soccer ball. That gives them the largest
eyes of any known creature to ever exist on Earth.
Watching a sperm.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Whale, imagine trying to fry that thing.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
You need a big vessel.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Though, like whales eating it, they know it.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
They found the beak, and they could be like, well,
the beak of an eleven hundred pounder is this big,
So we think maybe this one came from thirteen hundred pounds.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
I don't like that, questions say, the topic is gear,
Oh I like it?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Backpacker Magazine says this piece of gear, which is sometimes
called a ground sheet or ground cloth is quote basically
a tarp cut in the shape of your tent floor.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
How many letters?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Not telling you? But this is what Backpacker Magazine defines
it as. And they said, it's sometimes called a ground
sheet or ground cloth, and it's basically a tarp cut
in the shape of your tent floor.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
I feel like I know two answers that you should
you have to accept both.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Backpacker Magazine controversy in this game has three names ground sheet,
ground cloth, and this other one that I'm looking for.
It's basically a tarp cut in the shape.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Saying tarp, So like it's basically a tarp, you could
say ground tarp if you're going to accept ground sheet
and ground cloth. Ground tarp would also be an answer,
but that's look.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
You're going to argue your way into this one. Is
everybody ready?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Go ahead and reveal your answers from Seth and Corey
and Randall and Logan and Yanni and Brody saying footprint
They got it. The correct answer is footprint. A footprint
is typically made of polyester, nylon or polyrathane. It's placed
between your tent and the ground to protect your tent
floor from sharp, dirty, and wet surfaces. Some weight conscious

(27:42):
backpackers will also use their footprint as a rain cover.
Question eight. The topic is hunting. This next great question
is via Jordan Fast. The blank blank Ductoller is the
smallest akc Retriever, which they describe as quote, smart, handsome,
affectionate companions. There are two missing words from the name

(28:06):
of that dog. The blank blank blank blank duck Toller
is the smallest akc Retriever, which they describe as smart, handsome,
affectionate companions. Our room is stumped. This could be another

(28:26):
zero percenter. Corey is making himself giggle. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean, I'm out of this one, so at this
point I just got.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
To make some people laugh.

Speaker 9 (28:36):
You do I yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Do you have this one right?

Speaker 9 (28:39):
I got something written down the second word, No, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
The blank blank duck Toller is the smallest A K
c Retriever, which they describe as smart. I feel like handsome,
affectionate companions. I feel like Logan knew this completely wrong.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
But I'm surprised at this dog isn't because it's so rare.
It isn't popular right now because it seems like any
rare hunting dog. There's going some example physic like it
used to be there are just German wire hairs, and
then now like they're like, oh, but I have a
gryphon or whatever the other one is. It's similar to that, right,

(29:23):
And then there was the poodle pointer. It just seems like,
you know, and then Ronnie bames dogs, the Brocco Italiano's.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Boy, and spaniels got popular.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Do you not agree?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
I'm I'm not deep enough into that world to have
an opinion.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Spencer's a cat man, big cat manow the blank blank
Ducktoller is the smallest akc Retriever, which they describe as smart, handsome,
affectionate companions.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
They're all handsome.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Is everybody ready? I know someone who has this dog
and that dog's behavior closely resembles a cat. Go ahead
and reveal your answers. We have set saying extra small.
Corey says mother Frickin' randall, curly haired Logan, the duck
tolling duck Toller like that, Yanni says Chesapeake Bay Brody

(30:20):
says Outer Banks.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh, spread, that's.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
The correct answer. Is Nova Scotia knew it was a place.
Nobody got it. Nova Scotia Duck Toller stand about eighteen
inches at the shoulder and weigh about forty pounds. AKC
describes them as red tornadoes that will play fetch until
your right arm falls off, and then we'll ask you

(30:44):
to throw left handed. They were bred to resemble a
fox that won't alarm passing ducks and geese. Phil give
us a scoreboard update. We have two questions to go.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
And with those two questions to go, Logan is out
of the running shoot. Technically seven Cory are still in
the game with four points apiece and it is still
a three way tie with between Randall, Brody, and Giannis.
They all have six.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Points and a tough second question nine. The topic is cooking.
A Mayan warrior is tricked into eating taper testicles in
the opening scene of this two thousand and six Mel
Gibson directed film, Oh, Brody and Randall know It's what

(31:33):
a Mayan warriors tricked into eating taper testicles In the
opening scene of this two thousand and six Mel Gibson
directed film, mm hm, you know this one, Randall, I do?
Do you have an opinion on this movie you could
share with us? After this answer is revealed, yes, okay.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I think multiple times I've caught the second half of this,
like at a hotel stay or something and wash it,
but I've never watched it from beginning to end.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
How about you should.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Never seen this movie never you've never seen it.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
I think Steve has thoughts on it too, but I'm
sure they're strong one way or the other.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I can't remember which direction he leans.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Again, we're on question nine. The topic is cooking. A
Mayan warrior is tricked into eating taper testicles in the
opening scene of this two thousand and six Mel Gibson
directed film, is everybody ready, I changed one letter, Go
ahead and reveal your answer. Seth Without an answer, Corey
says Apocalypto, Randall Apocalypto, Logan Braveheart, be honest, and Brodie

(32:42):
say Apocalypto. They got it. The correct answer is Apocalypto.
Apocalypto is a violent look at the waning days of
a Mayan civilization in the year fifteen eleven. In that
opening scene, the childless warrior Blunted, is told to eat
the animal testicles and they will make him more fertile.
The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Makeup,

(33:04):
Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. Randall, do you
love this movie?

Speaker 6 (33:10):
It's hard to say that I love it, but I
feel like this is the era when mel Gibson really
sort of went off the rails as a public persona.
I feel like this is when south Park started taking
some shots at him right around the time of his arrest,
where he was using deplorable language.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Yeah, I happened right after this movie.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Yeah, that's the association I have. And I remember looking
at that because this is all subtitle, right, I think.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
So, and it's like it's actual mind people, the Mayan characters.

Speaker 6 (33:44):
Yeah, And I remember thinking of that, and it like,
at the time, I was reading more about mel Gibson's
like upbringing and everything, and it's just sort of a
strange I don't.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Know, I've never seen it, but the Wikipedia for this
movie has a whole section dedicated to the difficulty with
pr around this movie because of what mel Gibson was
doing saying at that time. All right, here's a correct answer.
Review so far one was Arizona two, Front of Center
or Forward of Center three, Academy four, Echo Location five, Europe,

(34:18):
Asia Africa six, Colossal Squid seven footprint eight, Nova Scotia
nine Apocalypto. Bill give us a scoreboard update before question.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Ten, standings remain the same Randle, Giannisimbrodi seven points apiece.
Going into the last.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Question, question ten, the topic is ecologies No. Name two
of the five states that produced the most sunflowers in
twenty twenty four. In two of the five states that
produced the most sunflowers in twenty twenty four, we have Randall, Jiannis,

(35:03):
and Brody with seven correct answers. Name two of the
five states that produced the most sunflowers in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I'm going with some big buck states.

Speaker 11 (35:18):
Spencer, All right, there's hands Brody's revisiting as maybe maybe
one of them, two of the five states that produced
the most sunflowers in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Randall, did you just make a change?

Speaker 7 (35:35):
I did?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (35:36):
I mean, after all, this game has already been tainted.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
So oh, come on, Rody.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
There's an asterix.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
I don't yeah, I just don't like this. I don't
feel good about this question.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Name two of the five states that produced the most
sunflowers in twenty twenty four. Is everybody ready? Go ahead
and reveal your answers. We have set saying Caw California,
South Dakota, Corey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Randall Kansas, Texas, Logan, Montana,

(36:09):
North Dakota, Jannis, Iowa, Kansas, Brody Kansas, Colorado. The top
five states are North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, and California.
So I don't think any of our three players in
the league got that one right, but Seth did. That

(36:33):
means we're going to be a tie breaker.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Geez play the drop film brutal second half.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
The shelbyon X ended up being right on. We have
seven correct answers between Brody, Jannis, and Randall. For the tiebreaker,
this will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between
those three will be declared the winner. But the rest
of the room will play along as well because if
if somebody gets it right on the nose, media will
add an extra one hundred dollars donation to the end

(37:04):
of the game. The tie breaking topic is public lands.
What year was Mount Rushmore finished.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
This is one of the questions my kids had to
answer to get their junior ranger.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Wow, Junior, so did you know this answer? Phil Oh, yeah, okay,
what year your head was Mount Rushmore finished?

Speaker 4 (37:28):
And the lead architect's name, which is just an all
time great name.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
You go as far as I did.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Oh yeah, Brody already has his whiteboard down. Johannis and
Randall still stressing over their answers. What year was Mount
Rushmore finished?

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Stress is strong word.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
We have a five hundred dollars donation on the line,
potentially a six hundred dollars donation if someone can get
it right on the nose.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Oh, got it there, Hopefully I get the right decade?

Speaker 2 (38:08):
What year was Mount Rushmore finished? Everybody ready?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Jeez?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Yeah, go ahead and reveal your answers. We're saying nineteen
eighty seven, Wow, Cory nineteen twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Somewhere between the logan.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Logan nineteen seventy three and our three players left, we
have Randall saying.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Nineteen fifty two.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Be honest, nineteen fifty five, Brody nineteen fifty one.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I don't have much of a window here.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
They got to get it.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
Yeah, you can tell the age gap here and the
proxity of our answers.

Speaker 7 (38:58):
So yeah, these guys are all born when it happened.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
It's funny because I just saw a picture on Instagram,
like in the last day of like the before and.

Speaker 9 (39:06):
After, and I didn't even look at the year.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
The correct answer is nineteen forty one, making.

Speaker 9 (39:14):
He was a dead World War two.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
The correct answer, I think it was going to be
before world sculpting began in nineteen twenty seven. Washington's face
was finished in nineteen thirty four, Jefferson in nineteen thirty six,
Lincoln in nineteen thirty seven, and Roosevelt in nineteen thirty nine.
The project was also supposed to include a hall of
records that would tell the history of America, but those

(39:38):
plans were canceled after the lead sculptor died and the
United States joined World War Two. They'll give us a
pronunciation of the sculptor's name that you'd like so much.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
It's Gutson Borglum. There you go, incredible.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
All right, Brody, you're the winner. You could choose where
the five hundred dollars donation goes today.

Speaker 9 (39:57):
Some guys send me.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
They don't send me these emails anymore. Then they go
to Brody not.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Latelys donation for Brody winning and going to overtime.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
