Speaker 1 (00:07):
It's a mediat podcast. Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the
only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host,
Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Brodie Henderson, Chester,
Floyd Randall, Williams, Colin Fapma Tressa Croker, Max Barta, and
Roman Snowbrick. Roman, this is your first time on the show.

(00:28):
Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I am the community coordinator, so I get to monitor
our general inbox and answer questions all day.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
How many emails a day?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I would say usually round one hundred.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Man, it's a lot to keep up with.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Social media dms keep me entertained too, especially Steve's.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah and Roman. I always announce on the podcast when
you're sending a question to the show, send it to
Trivia at the medeater dot com. But people still fail
to listen and then they sell it. They send email
to you instead, to which you need to forward to
the trivia inbox. How often does that happen?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Probably about every day?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, every day. It used to be significantly worse, but
our listeners have learned, and so I'm gonna I'm going
to quit harping on where you need to send the email.
I'll try to tell you just once or twice an
episode instead of four or five times. But for Roman's sake,
stop sending the emails there. Please send them to Trivia
at the mediater dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
And people should know that Roman's the man. Go on,
He's just the man.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh okay, yeah, that's right. Roman is in a Kenyan Noble
commercial that's been airing for about the last six months.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
It shows him building out his very own storage system
and his pickup riding mountain bikes camping.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Right, so, my buddy's grandpa actually built that for me.
I just you said you should continue lying to people
built it.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Roman de Man. Now, this is a ten round quiz
show with questions from meat Eater's four 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
winners choosing for the start of the week. This week,
we're looking at the number one hundred and sixty. That's
how many hours a professional fact checker spent on the

(02:23):
board game to ensure that all of the questions are clear.
And accurate. This fact checker has edited best selling books
and award winning magazines and put me through the ringer.
I'll fill my computers going wild here. Okay, we're back. Sorry,
you just want me to power through.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
If that's okay with you.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, wonderful. This fact checker has edited best selling books
and award winning magazines and put me through the ringer
so that we could create the best product possible. And
as we'll discuss in a little bit, sometimes I need
that second set of eyes.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
I was just gonna ask, why don't you have him
start doing a little fact checking before these games?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, well it's a her, Brody. Sorry, sorry, it's a her.
She costs money, so that's.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Why the product possible.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, you're there. There you go. You're not getting quite
the best product possible with this show, but close to it.
We're just one fact checker short. Now here's our zero
percenter question of the week, which tests how much knowledge
players have retained from previous shows. This question was from
episode four thirty three. The topic was conservation, and nobody
got it right. What Great Lake City created an ecological

(03:35):
disaster in nineteen eighty six when they released one point
five million balloons in an attempt to set a world record.

Speaker 8 (03:42):
Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Cleveland is right, that's your home state, Randall, what year
were you born?

Speaker 8 (03:47):
Nineteen eighty six?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh? Okay, So do you have like any childhood memories
about people talking about that event going down?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
None?

Speaker 8 (03:55):
I learned of it first at this very table.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Really, yeah, you should. You should go home and ask folks.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
Was a transplant to Ohio though, so I arrived in
ninety four outside of DC northern Virginia.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Cleveland's home to a lot of ecological disasters.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That a correct answer was Cleveland. The incorrect answers given
were Toledo, Chicago, and Green Bay. And we have a
lot of housekeeping to get to. Because listeners took issue
with three questions from episode four to seventy one, some
of their corrections were warranted and some of them were not.
Let's start with question five from that game, which was quote,
this national park in Virginia is the closest national park

(04:36):
to Washington, d C. The correct answer was Shanandoah, but
about a dozen listeners wrote in saying this was wrong.
They were arguing on behalf of answers like Great Falls Park,
Manassas National Battlefield, Prince William Forest Park and Arlington Cemetery. Now,
all of these places are managed by the Park Service,
but that doesn't make them one of the country's sixty

(04:58):
three national parks. And if you were using that logic,
then you'd have to consider places like the Washington Monument,
the National Mall, and the White House itself, which all
sit on property that are owned by the National Park Service.
So Shenandoah is staying correct.

Speaker 8 (05:15):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Next up is question six, which was quote, this medication
which Donald Trump said cured as COVID nineteen can be
used to kill ticks that live on moose. The correct
answer is ivermectin, but the question itself was inaccurate. Here's
why Donald Trump didn't take ivermecton. The Washington Post article
I was referencing for that question said that quote, Donald

(05:36):
Trump's supporters are crediting ivermectin with curing COVID nineteen. But
I made an error in saying that Donald Trump himself
took it, which was wrong. So we're throwing that question
out because of my mistake. And finally we'll talk about
question seven, which was quote the official Prime meridian, which
separates the hemispheres and establishes time zones is located in

(05:58):
this country. The correct answer was England, but about two
dozen listeners wrote in saying this was incomplete, and they
were right. Here's why it was flawed. Here's why it
was flawed, and we're throwing out the question. As many
listeners pointed out, the way it was worded would also
allow for answers like France, Spain, Algeria, Ghana and Moore.

(06:19):
Now I remind you that this question was sent by Steve,
with whom I argued that it was a bad question,
but he insisted otherwise. So all this to say, All
of this is to say that I get things wrong,
and I hate it when I get things wrong. And
that's why we hired the independent fact checker for the
board game. Her one hundred and sixty hour spent critiquing
my questions were as valuable as our listeners who do

(06:41):
the same.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
Now, when you say you throw a question out, are
you going back to change the results of those games?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
And it didn't change the result of that game, Well,
it's specific.

Speaker 8 (06:51):
It would change the result of the game if you
didn't throw out the question that I got right. And
he threw out the question and Seth got right.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Look at the memory on you ran. Oh yeah, because
I I had to go back to look at this,
and that's exact surprise.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Remembers every single I remember.

Speaker 8 (07:08):
I remember this game very well. Yeah, it was one
of many last minute catastrophes on my recent record.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
You probably remember all the ones I get wrong too.

Speaker 8 (07:19):
I do remember those.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah. Now, Brody, you asked why we don't have the
fact checker for this game. Our listeners are the fact checker.
They all, all of them do the fact checking for me.
It's a fault flawed process when it happens.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Played a bit of a delay.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, so I'll just count on them to keep me
on my toes. Now, the Shelby Index for today's round
is a four, so our winners should get eight correct answers.
And with that we're onto the game of trivia. Play
the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I
stand and win everything. Just tend to win everything.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
Game.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
On Suckers Question one, the topic is mountain Men. This
will be multiple choice and this first great question comes
to us via Chad Benson. Country artist Johnny Horton wrote
a song in nineteen sixty dedicated to this mountain man.
Is it Jim Bridger, Hugh Glass, Grizzly Adams or John Colter?

(08:29):
Can we hear the song after this? I will play
the song for you for now, though you need to
tell me. Country artist Johnny Horton wrote a song in
nineteen sixty dedicated to this mountain man. Choices are Jim Bridger,
Hugh Glass, Grizzly Adams, John Colter Chester.

Speaker 8 (08:49):
Can I trouble you for?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
No? You don't?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
You don't get a new marker?

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Can we help out? Radio Mars right here? Nothing here?
Does anybody know this? Or is everybody guessing?

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Gues for me?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Guess what a song it is?

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Contry researching that that next audiobook? Yet Randall?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Not yet? This could be part of part of your research.
Country artist Johnny Horton wrote a song in nineteen sixty
dedicated to this mountain man. Jim Bridger, Hugh Glass, Grizzly Adams,
John Colter, Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and
reveal your answers. We have Colin saying, John Colter, Roman saying,
Grizzly Adams, Tressa saying John Colter, Max saying, Grizzly Adams,

(09:37):
Randall saying Grizzly Adams Chester saying John Colter Brody sang
John Colter. Nobody got it. The correct answer was Jim Bridger.
That song was on the album Johnny Horton Makes History.
Here is one minute of it.

Speaker 7 (09:51):
Wait before we.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Play this, Spencer, yep, can you explain to these people
who Grizzly Adams is.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
No? Go ahead? And he like he had a grizzly
that he trained, right, but he spent some time.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Like some seven Mountain TACKI seventies television show.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
Was he even a mountain man?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
He was a real mountain was yeah? And he like
Guyana he was around and then did not.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Really I thought it was all fakes.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
And then I think post mountain man era is when
he trained a grizzly that he entertained folks with.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
Didn't know that learned something new every day.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Phil take it away.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
He spoke with General Custer and said, listen, yellow Hair,
the Sioux Air regread nation. So treat them fair and square,
sitting on their war council. Don't laugh away their pride.
But Custer didn't listen that little big horn Custardye last day,

(10:56):
as long as there's a USA don't let his memory.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
He turned up a little phil if we would have
been here, if it worked for men like to.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
So just a concept album of people making history.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
He explains history. What's the Battle of New Orleans? I
feel like that's maybe the most famous song from the album.
M that's that's Johnny Horton, and it's him telling you
about a historical lesson.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
He was a famous artist at the time.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Sure, I think so. I'm just asking Chester if you
played any Johnny Horton ever.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I have not, But I was just gonna say, maybe
I go home and give that a pick.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Question two?

Speaker 7 (11:41):
You know what, that would be a great cover because
nobody would know where.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, I think.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
He wrote it, Jack Chester, You would think I wrote
it again.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Question two? The topic is gear r e I by
national headlines in twenty twenty two when they announced that
they'd never be open on this day again again. Now,
I'm not looking for like a day of the week,
Like if this question was about Chick fil a, right,
the answer would be Sunday. But it's not that kind

(12:10):
of question. ARII made national headlines in twenty twenty two
when they announced that they'd never be open on this
day again, confident, Brody and Randall and Chester. Rest of
the room is thinking. Topic is gear. ARII made national

(12:31):
headlines in twenty twenty two when they announced that they'd
never be open on this day again. Rody, do you
know this one?

Speaker 7 (12:44):
We're gonna find out?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think so. Like we're waiting on this side of
the table. Tress is ready with her answer. Colin Romo,
Colin Roman, Max or not? Is everybody good?

Speaker 8 (12:58):
I think so?

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Go ahead and RecA fail your answers. We have Colin
saying ourbor day, Roman saying earth Day, Tresa saying fourth
of July, Max saying earth Day, Randall's saying Black Friday,
Chester saying Christmas, Brody saying Thanksgiving. The correct answer is
Black Friday. Randall got it right. ARII first decided in

(13:21):
twenty fifteen that they wouldn't be open on Black Friday.
This became an annual announcement until twenty twenty two, when
they officially said they'd never open on Black Friday again. Instead,
they called it an opt out side day, encouraging their
employees to spend time with friends and family outdoors.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
And hop on the internet and buy some shit.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
That question three, the topic is fishing. The International Eel
Pout Festival was held for forty consecutive years on Leech
Lake in this state. The whole room is confident, and
except for Tresa, here's the question again. The International Eel

(14:05):
Pout Festival was held for forty consecutive years on Leech
Lake in this state. Brody, what's the matter? It's too easy?
Too easy? I love it.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You have you been there to this event?

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Not saying quick answers?

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Colin saying Minnesota, Roman saying Minnesota, Tresa saying Michigan.
The rest of the room says Minnesota. They got it.
The correct answer was Minnesota. The International Eel Pout Festival
was an annual gathering in Walker, Minnesota, from nineteen seventy

(14:47):
nine to twenty nineteen. It's taken a bit of a hiatus,
but rumors are swirling that the event might return in
twenty twenty four. The festival attracted a crowd of ten
thousand visitors each year who showed up to part party
and fish max. What do you know about the International
Eel Pout Festival. It's basically a straight up party fishing

(15:08):
is like a side activity.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Fish is like a side gig, and there's thousands and
thousands of people on the ice at once, and it's
definitely a sight to see.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, and I think they shut it down because it
became like maybe too much of a party and people
are leaving too much of a mess. Yeah, it'll come
back like.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
A music festival, but for.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
They have, Yeah, pretty much. Sure, there's a lot of
music festival.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Sounds like Sturgey spearing on like Winnepego does.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Sound like that question? The topic was hunting. This is
our listener question of the Week, which was won by
Sam Crowthers for sending this great question. Sam is going
to get a book signed by Steve. This animal that's
native to the Middle East has been nicknamed the devil
bird by hunters. Topic is hunting. This animal that's native

(16:01):
to the Middle East has been nicknamed the devil bird
by hunters. We have a confident Brody and Randall. The
rest of the room not so much. Brody, do you
know this one? Randal? Do you know this one?

Speaker 8 (16:14):
I believe so.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
This animal that's native to the Middle East has been
nicknamed the devil bird by hunters. Now Brody didn't like,
how easy that last one is?

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Do you think this one's too easy?

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Also? Okay, well two of you have come up with answers.
Do you think our listeners from say, Georgia or Oklahoma
would know where leech Lake is?

Speaker 7 (16:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Come on, no, not as obvious, not as it's not
as obvious as you're saying.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
And leech Lake, Like, I feel like there's a lot
of info there, and like, forget it.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
A few more folks coming up with an answers. Max,
do you have this one right? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
I'm thinking about the guys that.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Right horses And Okay, this animal that's native to the
Middle East has been nicknamed the devil bird by hunters.
Is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers? With
Colin saying raven, Romans saying raven, Tressa saying road runner,

(17:21):
Max saying golden eagle, Randall's saying chucker, Chester's saying turkey vulture,
Brody saying chucker. The correct answer is chucker. Brody and
Randall got it. I was thinking of those guys that
like use the eagles to hunt.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
Falconers nor East.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
They live in like super steep, rocky terrain, Chucker were
given this nickname.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
Sure, famous chucker hunter Chucker.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
We're given this nickname because of what a hellish chase
it is to kill one. They spend most of their
time in steep, rocky country that resembles their native range.
Chucker were introduced to the US from Pakistan in eighteen
ninety three.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Spencer, I just thought it was too easy because Randall
got it right, okay, and nobody else got right.

Speaker 8 (18:08):
I liked that one because I got it right and
I learned something.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh, would you let I didn't know the origins?

Speaker 8 (18:13):
Yeah, bird, So Spencer, I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
And Brody was right. They live in such hellish country.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
We're heavenly there. You know who you are.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Question five? Wow? Question five, the topic is cooking. There's
a divine little voice there that said, wow, is that phil?
Is that you know?

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Question five? The topic is cooking. According to Southern Living magazine,
the role of this specific ingredient is the main difference
between gumbo and jumbalaya. According to Southern Living magazine, the
role of this specific ingredient is the main difference between

(18:56):
gumbo and jumbalaya. Here are so other ignorance is showing
the room is very slow to answer. They know where
Leech Lake is, but they don't know the difference between
gumbo and jumbalaya. Quick answer from Chester. But oh, but
he's second guessing it. I've never eaten neither of them.

(19:19):
Neither one, Tresa.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Okay, Spencer, this is one that's just worded like, oh,
but very very difficult.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'll tell you how Southern Living magazine says. They say,
the main difference between gumbo and jumbalaya is so this
this is worded like how they word it, Phil, what's
the matter?

Speaker 5 (19:40):
No, I don't want to be mean, but I just
saw Chester's board and I thought it was funny.

Speaker 7 (19:49):
Again, Bill, that in fact is mean.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
I mean it is an ingredient. I think they use
it in it.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
According to Southern Living man their version, the.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Role of this specific ingredient is the main difference between
gumbo and jumbalaya. I don't have the quote in front
of me, Brody, but the way they word it is
they say, the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya is
and it's the use of this ingredient. What do you got, Randall?

Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well, so is it the use of the y it's
like the ingredients. Is it the role of the ingredient
the you like, it's.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Just the answer of this question will be the ingredient.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
That's what I'm looking one ingredient is this, Like you
have an ingredient that is in gumbo that's not in
jumbalaya or vice versa.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Not telling you that part. I'm telling you the role
of this ingredient.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Figure out the difference.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
So are you asking for the role of this ingredient?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Your answer should be an ingredient, just an ingredient. If
you thought the answer was mountain dew, you would write
mountain dew.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
The question flaw. It's completely flawed. Way you got it.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
So Brodie, You're you're saying, like, let's just say it's apples,
Like like you're saying, well, the apples, the role of
the apple would be different. And the two dishes, like
in one it's like it's stewed for two hours and
the other one it's sprinkled on top. Like that's kind
of what you're getting at, Like because you're saying the
role versus the presence of the ingredient.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Sure, I guess like it's just like very hard to
get at it, Like the way it's worded, I feel like,
m you take it up a Southern Living magazine?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Do they.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Does everybody have any o?

Speaker 7 (21:36):
You've had a lot of questions from Southern Living.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I feel like that's not true. Maybe here and there?
All right, this is some northern ignorance again. Is everybody ready? Brody?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Go what do you got? Chester?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh, just can say you throw this ingredient in there
and it plays a role in making it one or
the other.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Go ahead and reveal your answers with Colin saying flour,
Roman saying catfish dressed, the saying sausage, Max saying shrimp,
Randall is saying and Duley Chest you're saying sausage, Brody
saying water. Nobody got it? The correct answer is rice.
Both dishes have Creole and Cajun roots and similar ingredients.

(22:20):
Gumbo is served with rice that's cooked separately, while jumbalaya
contains rice that's cooked in the same pot. Learn how
to cook each of them. Check out Danielle Pruitz and
ingredient and Riga Matany's Venison sausage and shrimp jumbal Iye
recipe on the meat eater dot com.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
Rice is not an ingredient in gumbo. You make gumbo,
then you serve it over rice.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I think the question was fine, so you're no.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Way.

Speaker 7 (22:49):
Well the good news is an ingredient in jumble. Aye,
it's not an ingredient in gumbo.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
The good news. Nobody got it right, So we're not
taking anything away from Brody. If it is flawed.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
I never have put down rice because it's not an
ingredient in gumbo.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
It's because you don't know the difference between gumbo and
jumble one.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
No, it's not an ingredient in gumbo, is not Phil.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
We are halfway through our game of trivia, give us
a square board update bad.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
We've got Tresa with zero points on the board, Roman, Colin,
and Chester and Max all have one point a piece,
Brody has two, and Randall is in first place with
three points.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
There's still a chance there is, but this is the
Randall and Brody show.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
So thanks for inviting us. Spencer, God, that one's gonna
stay with me.

Speaker 8 (23:37):
Spencer Brody's one question head do you match?

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Don't say I need another Minnesota question? Question six. The
topic is wildlife. This next great question comes to is
via Ryan McCarty. This state's state land man is a

(24:00):
white tail, state water mammal is a dolphin, state fish
is a large mouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck.
And state flower is a magnolia. You need to tell
me what state this is. State Land mammal is a whitetail,
State water mammal is a dolphin, state fish is a
large mouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck. State flower

(24:24):
is a magnolia. Max with the quickest answer, Max, do
you know this one?

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
No, But I'm putting pieces together.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Okay, I think I got it. In the meantime, I'm
going to try to find Brody. This quote from Southern
Living magazine.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
I don't care, honestly, Okay. When you make gumbo, rice
is not an ingredient. You make the rice separately from
the gumbo, then you put the gumbo on it.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
You could eat gumbo with.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
You're talking like when you make spaghetti, you make the noodles.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
Send No, No, you can make a pot of.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Rice.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
It's still gumbo.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Here here's the quote from the magazine. The main difference
between the two is the role of the rice, which
is integral in both. Gumbo is served with rice that's
cooked separately but rice goes into the jumbalaya pot.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Yeah, you just I'm kind of on team Brody here.
The rice is optional in gumbo. You don't like you
have it on the side, or you don't have it
at all, Like it's not really any part of the dish.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Moving on, here's here's this question one more time. This
state state land mammal is a white tail, state water
mammal is a dolphin, state fish is a large mouth,
state waterfunnel is a wood duck, and state flour is
a magnolia. Does everybody have an answer?

Speaker 3 (25:52):
I'm pretty sure I know a state where there's all those,
So put that down.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin saying Louisiana,
Roman saying Florida, Tresa saying Texas, Max saying Florida, Randall
saying Louisiana, Chester saying Florida, Brody saying Georgia. Nobody got
it correct. Answer is Mississippi. One of the biggest hints

(26:15):
from that list was the state flower being named magnolia,
because Mississippi is known as the Magnolia state and has
a magnolia on their flag. Some other official symbols are
the state insect as a honeybee, reptile as a gator,
state shell as an oyster, and state bird as a
mocking bird. Question seven. We have a couple zero percenters

(26:38):
in this episode handful company that just boom bad on me.
Question seven, the topic is camping. What lemon grass oil
is often turned into candles and burned in lanterns as
a way to keep away bugs? Half the room is

(26:59):
very commonfident What lemon grass oil is often turned into
candles and burned in lanterns as a way to keep
away bugs. Six questions through this episode, I've not done
a very good job a minute had the flawed Southern
Living question. We have a couple of zero percenters, which isn't.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
Nice, Tom, but you know you could be doing a
better job.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Listen, I'll admit this hasn't been great. Too many zero
percenters the flawed Southern Living question. Will see the other
room does with this one.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
I think the benchmark for a good game of trivia
is who wins, and so we haven't gotten to that point.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
So yeah, what where would it rank if like tressa
one for example?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (27:47):
That would be fabulous the best episode?

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (27:51):
Okay, I I loved the episode where Max one, that
was a great episode.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
That was great.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Ye all, I'm not gonna witness the mosquito question.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
There is the Headwaters of the Mississippi question. That was
a great episode.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
Randal, what is wrong with you? Do you remember this?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
I thought I've made that clear.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Here's the question one more time. The topic is camping.
What lemon grass oil is often turned into candles and
burned in lanterns as a way to keep away bugs.
As everybody ready, I spelt it wrong, but go ahead
and reveal your answers. We have Colin without an answer,
Rollman without an answer, and we have Tresa and Max
and Randall all saying citronella. Chester, do you have an answer?

(28:38):
Chester without an answer? Brody saying citronella. They got it.
The correct answer is citronella. If you did want to
spell it is c t ro O n e lll A.
Citronella oil is also common in soaps, perfumes, and lotions.
It's been registered as an insect repellent in the United
States since nineteen forty eight. Although it does determine skos,

(29:00):
science has shown that it's not very effective in candle form.
One study from twenty seventeen said, a citronella candle's protection
is no better than no protection at all.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Hey Max, can you play your mic cable back in
really quick?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Please?

Speaker 5 (29:14):
Microphone cable it popped out.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's a you got fuzzy fir second.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Question eight the topic is phishing. What is the anatomical
name for a fish's tailfin? What is the anatomical name
for a fish's tail fin?

Speaker 8 (29:38):
Context would tell me you're not looking for tailfin.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Tailfin would be incorrect. Looking for the other name for
a tailfin coould be its anatomical name. What is the
anatomical name for a fish's tail should named about four others?

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Okay, yeah, you just gotta start listing them in your
head and hopefully come up with it.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Confident that the room is leaking confidence. At this point,
no one looks sure.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
What was the Shelby index A four?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
This is question eight. We will go to scoreboard update
from Phil after this. What is the anatomical name for
a fish's tail fin? Brody? How do you feel about
your answer?

Speaker 7 (30:33):
Man? I don't know, not good. Got a chance?

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Okay, I think you're one of the only people to
come up with an answer. Tresta do you have an answer? Okay, Randall,
do you have a guess? I have some fins, but
I don't have this one.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Remember that Jimmy Buffett song Finns.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, it's a great song about a girl getting hit
on too much in a bar or in a go.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
Jimmy Buffett, he liked to angle.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
He loved Montana. Who did Some people say that Cheeseburger
in Paradise was about Paradise Valley, and then I think
he set the record straight. I don't know, maybe like
fifteen years ago, and said, I think it was about
being in the Caribbean and finally finding a place that
sold a burger that was beef instead of whatever mystery

(31:28):
meat or horse they had.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
I don't think Jimmy Buffett was eating a lot of
horse burger, Spencer.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's why it was a cheeseburger in Paradise when he
found a beef patty somewhere.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Sometime in the Caribbean.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Myself, did you struggle to find beef patties?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
No?

Speaker 7 (31:47):
But you know, maybe back in the day horse was
a thing.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Does everyone have an answer for the anatomical name for
a fish's tailfin? Ready, go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Colin without an answer, without an answer, Tress
is saying at a pose, Max saying which one Dorsal,
Randall without an answer, Chester without an answer, Brody saying coddle.

(32:11):
Brody got it correct answer. It was coddle.

Speaker 8 (32:14):
That was one of the ones I was thinking of
and ruled out.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Coddle is derived from a Latin word that means quote
near the tail. Some of the ways that coddle fins
can be categorized are rounded like snakehead, forked like whitefish,
truncated like salmon, or lunate like tuna.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
That was a great question.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Every phil.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
We have two questions left. Where does the scoreboard stand?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Well, we've got Tresa, Roman, and Colin and Chester. They've
all been eliminated from the game. I've got one point
a piece. Max is hanging on he's got two, and
then tied up in first place a Randall and Brody
with four points.

Speaker 8 (32:54):
Now I'm trying to think of the name for the
finn that I thought was the caudal fin.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I don't know the tail fin. Question nine the topic
is public lands. This next great question comes to us
via Tyler Skaggs. What state is home? To Mammoth Cave
National Park in Lake Cumberland State Park? Confident? Randall and Brody?
What state is home to Mammoth Cave National Park and

(33:22):
Lake Cumberland State Park? Tressa Roman in college have not
picked up their boards? Max? Do you know this one? No? Okay,
Brody you know this? Randall, you know this?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
I do.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Rest of the room not so sure. What state is
home to Mammoth Cave National Park in Lake Cumberland State Park? Chester?
How do you feel about your answer?

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I'm trying to get my marker to work. Oh okay,
And while I'm doing that, I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
It might be time to break out the new markers.
We've had a few listeners now that Unsolicited have sent
us markers. Every now and then we start with a
new package. We've had a lot of marker complaints lately.

Speaker 8 (34:09):
Those those skinny black markers are just not not doing
the job.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Okay, What state is home to Mammoth Cave National Park
in Lake Cumberland State Park?

Speaker 7 (34:21):
Doesn't got a monument and budget for markers?

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Or did that?

Speaker 7 (34:25):
Fact checkers beat up all your budget?

Speaker 1 (34:27):
All of our budget. That's why our listeners have to
donate them to us. It's everybody ready, go ahead and
reveal your answers. We have Colins saying Tennessee, Roman saying California,
Tresa saying Nevada, Max saying Virginia, Randall saying Kentucky, Chester
saying Kentucky, Brody saying Kentucky. They got it. The correct
answer is Kentucky. Mammoth Cave is the longest cave system

(34:51):
in the world. The park is fifty two thousand acres
with four hundred and twenty six miles of cave passageways.
Several bodies of ancient and humans have been discovered in
the cave, some of which were buried there and others
that died of accidents. Phil we have one question left.
Do we have Randall and Brody tied with five?

Speaker 5 (35:10):
That's right, and they're the only two left in the game.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Question ten. The topic is cooking. Name one of the
two most popular wood pellet flavors according to Bear Mountain Barbecue.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Hmmm.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Bear Mountain Barbecue is a pellet distributor. This is from them.
They said that these are the two most popular wood
pellet flavors. You need to name one of them. Very
confident Max and Colin. Colin do you use pellet grills
a lot. I could ask a question, but I feel

(35:46):
like i'd just be oh myself. It's not gonna be
some weird answer like premium signature select pellets.

Speaker 7 (35:55):
Yeah, I know. Okay, there's still a question I want
to ask, but I can't.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Mhm, Colin, one is it one word? I'm not gonna
tell you. Can you spell it?

Speaker 8 (36:14):
Name?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
One of the two most popular pellet flavors.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
I'm trying to think of the answer you're thinking of.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Then it is? Everybody ready, Yes, go ahead and reveal
your answers. Colin saying Cherry, Romans saying Oh, tress Is
saying Apple, Max saying, Hickory, Randall saying Mosquite Chester saying
Hickory Brody saying Hickory Brody, and Randall. One of you

(36:44):
is right, of you is wrong. The correct answers are
Apple and Hickory, making Brody our winner with six correct answers.
These two flavors are also the top sellers at places
like Home Depot, and according to Camp Chef, Hickory produces
a robust aroma that's perfect for red meat, white meat,

(37:06):
and pork, and Apple has a subtle fruity flavor that's
ideal for white meat, pork, vegetables and baked goods. Brody,
what was your hang up on that question?

Speaker 7 (37:16):
Nothing? I just wanted like I was wondering if maybe
it was some blend or something.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Don't worry about it's stupid.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
But you know, we just finished up a book, Spencer.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Okay, all this stuff all different kinds of outdoor cooking methods.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Okay, what's in your pellet grill right now? What kind
of pellets you think?

Speaker 6 (37:38):
I usually don't go with the heavy stuff, man, I
like the mild, like apple, cherry, stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
When does that book come.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
Out next spring?

Speaker 1 (37:46):
I think next May?

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Meat Eat or Outdoor Cookbook would be good.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
So does it talk about pellet grills or is it
likely Smoker's pellet grills grills his charcoal grills? Very good?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
All that stuff?

Speaker 1 (37:59):

five hundred dollars donation from Meat Eater going to go?

Woods right now, so let's do Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Have you been out in the Elk Woods yet?

Speaker 6 (38:13):
I was out in the grouse woods near where there's
where some lk. That guy haven't chased elk around yet.
The grouse hunt was great, But yeah, arimf's great. They
make a lot of land acquisitions which are either preserved
in perpe duty they'll never be developed. In a lot
of cases those lands are huntable too, not all of them,

(38:36):
but in many cases.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
So yeah, and they benefit things besides just elscher. I
know some of the properties that have opened in my
home state of South Dakota. I've hunted white tails on
They're so good for everything. That's it for this episode
