[Danielle Pruitt]

We've got a new book coming out in the meat eater universe, and for the first time, it is not one of mine. Instead, it's my colleague, Danielle Pruitt. Yeah, Danielle. The founder of Wild and Whole. It's called Meat Eaters Wild and Whole Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook. And it's an ode to cooking seasonally with wild and foraged ingredients. Now let's get to what you'll find in this book. This cookbook contains more than 80 recipes inspired by what you can hunt, fish, forage, or grow in your garden each season. Often, Danielle will pair her ingredients to reflect both the hunting season and the growing season. So her turkey cutlet is combined with springtime morels. Her Gulf coast redfish with summertime sweet corn. She cooks venison with pumpkin for a tasty fall stew. If that all sounds complicated, trust me, it is not complicated. Danielle has a knack for creating recipes worthy of a five star kitchen, but accessible to two star cooks. And you'll come away armed with techniques that will make you a better cook all around. This book is also beautiful to look at, with gorgeous full color photographs that inspire you to take a real hard look at your kitchen's output. It's Meat Eaters Wild and Whole Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook by Danielle Pruitt. It is out now and it's [e-mail] or wherever books are sold.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a Meat Eater Podcast welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Yanni, Randall, Brody, Hansi, Alyssa, Corinne and Nate. This is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Heart and Soil, they're matching our donation at the end of the game. Thanks to Heart and Soil, the winner will make a $1,000 conservation donation today. Now for the stat of the week. This week we're looking at the number nine. That's how many days you have to make an order from the Meat Eater store to guarantee delivery by Christmas. So if Santa is giving the gift of Meat Eater Trivia this year, he needs to place his order with us by December 13th. We still have limited stock of the OG Meat Eater Trivia board game, the Hunting and Fishing expansion packs, and the Meat Eater Trivia Collector's Editions. They are [e-mail] and again. And December 13th is the last day to order for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

[Hansi]

Are the expansion packs flying off the shelves, Spencer?

[Spencer Newarth]

Flying off the virtual shelves? I think the only real shelves you can buy them off of is our Meat Eater flagship store here in Bozeman. And so far we have perfect 5 star reviews on those on the website.

[Randall]

Well done.

[Spencer Newarth]

The OG game. We have 80 reviews for 4.97 stars. I think there were two people out of the 80 who have reviewed it who gave us four stars instead of five.

[Randall]

What were the complaints?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't even remember now.

[Randall]

I'm sure you.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't. I only take in the 78 five star reviews. Those two four stars.

[Randall]

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia atthe meat eater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Elena Brumwell wants to know, have you ever considered a Canada themed expansion pack? I'm sure there are a fair number of us Canadians who would be much better at answering questions about our own animals and agencies. Well, Elena, this is a common question, but no, there's not going to be a Canada themed expansion pack. We have the crossword puzzles on the meat eater.com of the 20 that I've made so far, one of them was Canadian themed. It was just for people from Canada who like hunting and fishing. There it is, our least played crossword on the so Canada listeners, if you want to make that kind of content more in demand, then you need to go play that crossword puzzle to show me that you're out there and that's something you'll consume.

[Giannis]

Was that one hard, Randall? Was it take you longer than the regular American versions?

[Randall]

I'm not sure I recall this puzzle.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll go look at what Randall said. That was part of our. We did a mini crossword. Oh yeah.

[Randall]

We based all the mini crosswords.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Our regular crossword puzzle is 20 clues, which we do once a week. But then I did five days, one week of mini crosswords, five clues each one of them was Canada. On that Canada one, Randall got a score of 260. And he did that in 28 seconds.

[Randall]

Now, I know we're not talking about the regular crossword, but I, I do think it's worth pointing out. In the past two weeks, I've set new personal records. I finished this week's crossword in I believe a minute and 28 seconds.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yep. Gianni's giving him a standing 395.

[Giannis]

That's without pre reading the questions.

[Randall]

Oh, yeah.

[Giannis]

How can you even read 20 questions in that amount of time?

[Randall]

I mean, they're not long, let alone type them. They're prompts. They're prompts. They're just a word or a phrase.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, we told him he's going to. We're gonna need to drug test him with these racing scores. Yeah.

[Randall]

Do you golden rainbow cutthroat brown trout. Yep.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Randall]

Just like that. You do it 40 times.

[Spencer Newarth]

Can you do that?

[Hansi]

Did you drink a whole pot of coffee beforehand?

[Randall]

No, I was actually worried because I ate. I ate an obnoxious portion of Thanksgiving leftovers immediately before that. Yeah, Phil saw that plate.

[Alyssa]

Oh, so did I.

[Brody]

It was absurd.

[Randall]

It was. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

So Randall's score on the Canada Crossword, it was 28 seconds. On the gear one, it was 20 seconds. On the national parks, it was 35 seconds. And on the dogs, it was 31 seconds. Oh, so you did well. Canada was like, your second strongest category. Now imagine if you're from Canada, how well you'd do on that.

[Giannis]

Are there any. Are there any players out there that rival Randle scores at all?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, I can see the top scores. It's. It's anonymous. I don't see. I don't think I see their. Their username. And some people beat Randall and people in the comments, too. Those people are often eager if they beat Randle scores, to let us know.

[Randall]

I didn't know that there was a 395 possible until an audience member shared that with us. So that gave me something to shoot for.

[Spencer Newarth]

So it's like Jameis Winston says, you don't shoot for the stars because there's already people on the moon. So that's Randall Williams. All right, we have some housekeeping to get to. On a previous episode of Trivia, we had a controversial question about Guy Fieri being the mayor Flavor Town. This made Brody and Giannis furious, who argued that it had nothing to do with our four verticals. But that's where they're wrong, I think.

[Hansi]

Everyone.

[Randall]

Hear him out. Guys, let's hear him out.

[Corinne]

Yeah, I need to hear him.

[Spencer Newarth]

Guy is a fanatical hunter. A 2023 Facebook post shows him hunting ducks. A 2016 Instagram post shows him hunting bears. A 2015 Sportsman Channel episode of Avian X TV features him turkey hunting with Blake Shelton. And in a 2022 interview, he said he's hunted deer, elk, antelope, pigs, and bighorn sheep. In that same article, he claim Elk hunting in Wyoming was one of the greatest experiences of his life. In that a wild game jambalaya he made with duck, venison and gator was one of his finest meals. Guy loves hunting so much that he had a custom chef's coat printed in cuyu camo. And he even named his firstborn son Hunter. So, Brody and Giannis, I maintain that it was a good question and I'm even going to encourage. Corinne, I'm even going to encourage.

[Brody]

You just ignored me.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, what's your problem, Brody?

[Hansi]

I think it's awesome that he's a hunter. It's got nothing to do with how that question was poorly worded.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think. I think that was a matter of when Steve had time to play trivia. He often had an attitude of if he got it right, it was too easy. If he got it wrong, it was too hard. And I think our players in the room were experiencing that. They didn't know that he was the mayor of Flavortown. So it was too hard of a.

[Hansi]

Question, like a duly elected official of what like a municipality is how you worded it.

[Spencer Newarth]

It was very clever by me.

[Randall]

Thank you very much.

[Giannis]

I want to have a bunch of made up questions about made up places and made up things next time. My host.

[Brody]

That's what Phil's trivia is for.

[Spencer Newarth]

We have questions about movies and songs. Those are all fiction based.

[Hansi]

Good on him for being a hunter, but he ain't the mayor of any municipality.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corinne. Corinne. I think now that we know he's such a fanatical hunter and he'd be a great guy. The mayor of Flavortown should be on the meat eater podcast sometime. And if you're watching on YouTube, you can see a picture of him duck hunting there with his eyes closed. With his eyes closed, he was duck hunting in California. Corinne, can. Can we extend an invite to Guy Fieri's camp?

[Alyssa]

I'll have to check with Steve.

[Randall]

If I had had a few more days between that episode and this episode. I shared this with philosophy as an excuse to cut my hair. I was going to dye it blonde and wear. Wear a flame shirt.

[Hansi]

You can pull it off, Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

And a goatee.

[Randall]

Just because I knew this would come up again. And so I just wanted to show up in the podcast studio, dress as.

[Spencer Newarth]

Guy Fieri and pierce your ears just for the bit. Yeah, yeah.

[Hansi]

Next Halloween, we'll get you a Flavortown apron.

[Spencer Newarth]

We'll just make printed in first light camo.

[Randall]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now. The Shelby index for today is a 3.5 so our winner should get seven correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Nate]

Just tend to win everything.

[Randall]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 1. The topic is conservation. And this first great question is via Bradley Burtke. What state has the most national forests? Is it Colorado, California, Washington, or Utah? The most in America?

[Giannis]

Or, like, number of them, not number of acres.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right, number of them, number of acres. Just the most national forests. What state has the most national forests? Colorado, California, Washington, Utah.

[Hansi]

Ooh, that's a tough one, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's why the Shelby index is a seven today. What state has the most national forest? Your four choices. Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. I think everybody but Hansi and Brody has an answer. Brody, how many do you have it narrowed down to? 2. Okay, eliminated.

[Hansi]

Well, I don't know if I have it narrowed down. I've got two I'm thinking about what.

[Spencer Newarth]

State has the most national forests? Colorado, California, Washington, Utah. Hansi, are you ready?

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Utah. Giannis says Washington. Corinne. Washington. Randall. California. Alyssa. California. Nate put Washington crossed out California. Brody put Washington crossed out Colorado. The correct answer is California.

[Nate]

Every time.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Randall got that one. Every time there's a state question, it's Calissa and Randall. That's right. California has 20 national forests, the most in the nation. That's followed by Colorado and Oregon with 12, Idaho with 11, Montana with 10, Wyoming with 8, and New Mexico and Washington with 7. Question 2. The topic is hunting. This man is the host of the hunting shows Fresh tracks and on your own adventures. This is question two. The topic is hunting. Yanni, Nate, Randall, and Brody are all confident in their answer. Alyssa and Corinne and Hansi have not picked up their whiteboard. This man is the host of the haunting shows Fresh tracks and on your own adventures.

[Brody]

One of my first jobs out of college was doing audio for Fresh Tracks.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil.

[Randall]

Jesus Christ.

[Spencer Newarth]

There's a little hint.

[Giannis]

Sorry, Is it tfr? Is it T Vanity?

[Spencer Newarth]

He's like.

[Alyssa]

Now I know that's not like an 80.

[Giannis]

Well, actually, that's not.

[Spencer Newarth]

What. What's that Corinne like?

[Alyssa]

It's not like. Like an old.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, okay.

[Alyssa]

That doesn't really help me.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's got.

[Alyssa]

The only hunting shows I've ever watched are meat eaters.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, Hansi, does that help you?

[Corinne]

Yeah, maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maybe.

[Corinne]

But I still can't think of his name.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's got a grin on his face.

[Alyssa]

Do we have him on the podcast.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're not going to lob it on.

[Randall]

Apologize for my outburst against film.

[Giannis]

I'll give it to you if it makes sense.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil would have gotten this one right. Maybe a rare question in the hunting board that he would get. This man is the host of the hunting shows Fresh Tracks and On your own adventures. Hanzi is writing down a description and Yani, looking at his whiteboard, says that he has. It has everything but his name. Shows are aired. Not gonna tell you anything else I recorded.

[Randall]

I thought we got to ask you questions about this. If I recall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Oh, no.

[Giannis]

The game has changed now that it's all just made up. Random things that aren't facts.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, made up like states with the most national forests and a real person who hosts a real show. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying the dude whose office was over near Bobcat Stadium. Which is correct. Giannis says Randy Newbird.

[Giannis]

We once named a grouse in Alaska Randy Newbird, and Randy kind of took offense to it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Why?

[Giannis]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corinne says, are we going to count that? I don't know. Do you know his real name?

[Hansi]

Oh, come on. He knows.

[Spencer Newarth]

Who? Corrine says Michael Waddell. Randall says Randy Newberg. Alyssa Randy Newberg. Nate. Randy Newberg. Brody Randy Newberg.

[Hansi]

I was going to write discount code Randy, but I'm glad I didn't.

[Spencer Newarth]

Since you're.

[Hansi]

Since you're.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is Randy Newberg. I think we'll give it to Giannis, who put Randy Newbird instead of Newberg.

[Corinne]

But do I get it too?

[Randall]

We love joke wrong answers on the show.

[Spencer Newarth]

So Hansi put the guy who has an office near Bobcat Stadium.

[Giannis]

I'd give it to him.

[Spencer Newarth]

Which we're not going to give it to him, but that's a nice level. Thanks, you, Honor.

[Giannis]

I recorded a podcast, his first ever podcast, at that office.

[Hansi]

Oh, I think, Hans, you should get it, man. Like, I don't know where the guy's office is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randy's website.

[Corinne]

Thanks, Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randy's website describes him as being a leading advocate for self guided hunters. Randy killed his first elk in the 1990s after six unsuccessful seasons in Montana. He says that first dead bull was thanks to spending a summer reading Jack Ward Thomas book called Elk of North americ, which is 6,000 pages. Question 3. The topic is gear. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Justin Flowers for sending this great question. Justin 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 themeat. Com. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. Again, this is question three. The topic is gear. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. Gear. Topic is gear. That's right. About half of our room has already come up with their answer. The three main ingredients of this are potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. What's the longest book Brody and Randall that you guys have put together for meat eater? Do you know what the pages longest is?

[Hansi]

Probably the wilderness survival guide. That was a big one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did that touch a thousand pages? No.

[Hansi]

Hell no.

[Spencer Newarth]

Can you imagine reading an Elk of North America book that's 6,000 pages?

[Randall]

How many maps are in it though?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know.

[Hansi]

There could be a thousand pages, three thousand maps. It's still a long ass book.

[Giannis]

Are they small pages I helped put together? No, man. It's fine print in that book too. It's dense.

[Randall]

I gotta get my hands on that.

[Hansi]

Bad boy I read.

[Giannis]

But we put together Meteor's guide to Hunting, Butchering and Cooking. Ended up. Well, we had to split it into two parts because it was 700 pages.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, 6,000 pages though.

[Hansi]

Who's Val? The dear guy. The old guy Val. I read his dear book. That's a long one. It's a real. But it's not six. How 6,000 pages. Holy cow.

[Spencer Newarth]

Again you have question for you.

[Randall]

It's not a multi volume work. It's 6,000 pages bound as one.

[Alyssa]

Just that.

[Spencer Newarth]

God.

[Giannis]

Yeah, it does seem like it's too much because. I don't know, it just seems like it's a. Is a textbook is what it is.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was a quote from Randy saying that he killed his first bull thanks to reading Elk of North America, which is 6,000 pages long. So I might. I might have to fact check.

[Giannis]

Fact check. Oh yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Again.

[Randall]

Somebody get on World Cat.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're on question three. The topic is gear. The three main ingredients library are potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying black powder. Giannis, gunpowder. Corinne, Handwar, Randy, gunpowder. Alyssa, fire starter. Nate, black powder. Brody, gunpowder. The correct answer is gunpowder. You said black powder. We'll give that to you as well. The ingredients of gunpowder have remained unchanged for about a thousand years, but the ratio has taken some perfecting. The modern formula, which is about 10% sulfur, 15% charcoal and 75% potassium nitrate has been used since the 13th century. Question 4. The topic is cooking. Argali defines this term as, quote, when meat rots from the bone outward.

[Giannis]

Who or what is Argali?

[Spencer Newarth]

You don't know what Argali is? Argali Game bags.

[Giannis]

Oh, that company.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. I think we had one of their employees sitting here about two weeks ago. Oh, the owner, Brad Brooks, 41 years old. That is what our golly is.

[Randall]

But it doesn't.

[Alyssa]

It doesn't look like introduced as a company.

[Giannis]

Yeah, just another kind of a. You know, I want to say it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think this is a great question. Argali defines this term as, quote, when meat rots from the bone outward.

[Alyssa]

Oh, my goodness.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is anybody confident in their answer?

[Randall]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

No.

[Brody]

Brody's putting marker to board.

[Corinne]

I have an answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, Hansi. Confident, but I don't know.

[Corinne]

I mean, I'm not confident it's correct, but I'm confident that it could be possible.

[Spencer Newarth]

Argali defines this term as when meat rots from the bone outward. This isn't just an Argali term either, you know, it's not like.

[Hansi]

No, I've heard it before.

[Spencer Newarth]

So do you have the right answer?

[Hansi]

Well, I'm not. I mean, maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Hansi]

Gotta get them animal skinned and cooled down.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm gonna go try to find the page count for elk of North America.

[Randall]

And that is Bezos will tell you.

[Spencer Newarth]

By Jack Ward Thomas. Is there any chance it's 6,000 pages? That seems.

[Randall]

No, I think that would be like 6,000 pages.

[Spencer Newarth]

That seems insane.

[Giannis]

Yeah. I'm gonna go closer to one.

[Randall]

How about that?

[Spencer Newarth]

600 pages, 720 pages, according to Amazon.

[Brody]

So where did the 6,000 number come from?

[Spencer Newarth]

That was a quote.

[Randall]

That was old Randy's from Randy.

[Spencer Newarth]

He was being interviewed by Outside Bozeman magazine and he said, that's how I killed my first elk. I read the 6,000 page book, Elk of North America inflection there Randy was.

[Giannis]

He read it nine times.

[Hansi]

And so I wonder if the counting too.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's how I'm going to score my animals from now on is just take times six and a half multiplier. Again, we're on question four. The topic is cooking. Our golly defines this term as when meat rots from the bone outward. Do you have an answer, Randall?

[Randall]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you like your answer?

[Randall]

I think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

I feel pretty good about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, Brody, Hanzi, all feel okay. How about you, Nate?

[Nate]

No, this complete shot in the dark, but I have one that's like tingling.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Nate]

Back in my mind it's tingling. Yeah.

[Randall]

Might get that checked out.

[Nate]

When? I don't know. An answer, but I think I might. I sniff the sharpie.

[Corinne]

It's the Sharpie that's causing.

[Spencer Newarth]

It.

[Nate]

Hasn't worked yet, but it's a method.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready?

[Randall]

It opens up some neural pathways.

[Hansi]

Yeah, let's flip them over.

[Giannis]

No, no, I need, like, 10 or 15 seconds.

[Spencer Newarth]

We can do 10 seconds for you.

[Randall]

10 seconds by the 6,000 page metric and we're done.

[Spencer Newarth]

A few minutes, Giannis. Maybe he meant word. No, 6000 word would be nothing. That'd be like 15 pages. Sorry, Randy. We just called you out for that 2022 interview. Giannis.

[Hansi]

Okay, we're on about 30 seconds now.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's writing. As soon as he's done writing, the.

[Randall]

Tap is a new one. I like it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying gang green.

[Corinne]

Gangrenous.

[Spencer Newarth]

Gangrenous. Giannis says composting. Corrine says internal rot. Randall says bone souring. Alyssa. Rancid. Nate. Desiccation. Brody. Bone souring. The correct answer is bone sour. We had Brody and Randall get that one right. And Yanni. This is a term that's been used by many folks. Peterson's Hunting. A lot of hunting and fishing forums. Our. Golly, who makes the game bags we all like. So have you heard of bone sour before?

[Giannis]

Never have.

[Randall]

Get on Rock Slide.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bone sour occurs when meat isn't properly cooled and bacteria spreads from the bone outward. This is the most. This is most common when big games such as elk or moose are killed in hot weather. Besides obviously getting the meat in a cooler, some ways to prevent bone sour are by promoting airflow and deboning the meat.

[Corinne]

And could it be gangrenous?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, that's different. Gangrene, I don't think is. Is not related to bone cells.

[Hansi]

Gangrene's an infection. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. So, no, Hansi, we're not going to give you a point for that one.

[Alyssa]

Does that rot emanate from within the bone marrow, or is it.

[Hansi]

No, it's just left by the bone.

[Spencer Newarth]

There's a lot of heat.

[Hansi]

The center of the, like, hind quarter is where the most heat is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Around the ball joints, there's bacteria that'll spread if it stays too warm. They say, I think you need to get it below, like, 80 degrees in the first hour or below 45 degrees in the first 24 hours to avoid bone sour. But, yeah, it's. It's rotting from the inside out.

[Giannis]

But haven't we also discussed about how leaving the bone in will help the cool air transfer to that zone? Because that temperature, like, it's like, it's a better. The bone is a better conductor than the meat itself is.

[Hansi]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

But if you're. If you're battling against like 80 degree weather, it's probably just best to. To not have the bone in there.

[Corinne]

So what's the technical term for bone sour? Because I guarantee that's not the scientific term for it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Listen, I'm. I assigned this definition to Argali, and it's, like I said, also agreed upon by Peterson, Tunning and others. Okay, question five. The topic is fishing. Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures, quote, mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs.

[Hansi]

We got no question to look at.

[Spencer Newarth]

You gotta look behind Nate's head.

[Brody]

I flipped that around.

[Nate]

Sorry, guys, I got a big old.

[Brody]

We're having technical difficulties in here.

[Spencer Newarth]

Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs. These tights and the room is stumped. Phil just headbutted the TV and it came back on. This is question five. The topic is fishing.

[Brody]

Gonna mess up the clock here for a sec, but that's okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs. Brody, how do you feel about your answer?

[Hansi]

I feel good about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Brody, the only confident player of seven in the room. Brody, have you ever experienced bone sour or been around someone who has?

[Hansi]

I've seen meat that's gotten a little green tinge to it before. The first elk I killed, I didn't get the hide off of the hindquarters real quick. And I think I had a little bit, but, like, it wasn't ruined. But didn't. Didn't Steve get some on that? Washington?

[Giannis]

Yeah, we lost some meat for sure. But again, I don't think it's the. I don't think the bone has much to do with it.

[Hansi]

I think that's just where it happens.

[Giannis]

Yeah, it's the middle. It's going to be the place that cools down slowest. I got to think about plastic lures.

[Spencer Newarth]

Berkeley says these kinds of soft plastic lures mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs. Brody, the only player to come up with an answer.

[Hansi]

Let's turn him over right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Mimic different types of aquatic life, such as crayfish, tadpoles, lizards and bugs. Randall now coming up with an answer.

[Randall]

No, no, just writing a Word down is not the answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni, do you have an answer now?

[Giannis]

I do, I do. I think there's a chance that it's correct.

[Spencer Newarth]

There's a chance. Is everybody ready? Who's going to come up with an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi without an answer. We have Yanni saying worm. Corrine without an answer. Randall says double twister tails. Alyssa says worms. Nate says whirlyboys. Brody says creature baits. Brody got it. The correct answer is creature baits. Creature baits are popular among bass anglers, fishing, heavy cover and spawning beds. These lures are known for their unique profile that is unusually bulky with extra appendages. Some creature baits don't mimic anything at all, such as the popular Zoom Brush Hog, which has multiple arms, legs, and tails. Phil now has a photo of one double tail screen. Double twister tail. It's got double everything. And that Zoom Brush Hog is probably the most popular creature bait on the market. It doesn't look like anything at all.

[Randall]

It resembles, in some respects, the answer that I put down.

[Spencer Newarth]

Which was what?

[Randall]

The double twister tails.

[Spencer Newarth]

Double twister tails. But you forgot the double legs, double arms. Well, that's.

[Corinne]

I mean, whirly boys, it probably does.

[Spencer Newarth]

World far away that there is a classic creature bait. Brody, have you ever used a creature bait?

[Hansi]

You know, I don't know. I don't do a lot of, like, bucket mouth bass fishing, but good on.

[Spencer Newarth]

You for knowing about them. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

[Brody]

Corinne, I'm so sorry you don't have any points. Hansi, you've got one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, boy.

[Brody]

Alyssa, Nate and Giannis, I'll have two points apiece. And with that creature bait question, Brody pulled in to tie up with Dr. Randall. They have four points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Anybody's game plan question. Question six.

[Giannis]

Corinne, I think. I would think that you'd be pulling in more of this information after all these years working here.

[Alyssa]

Yeah, well, I guess I got a thick brain.

[Hansi]

I'm just hoping. Corinne. Corinne makes some homemade gunpowder hand warmers.

[Giannis]

Oh, yeah.

[Hansi]

Brings them in for us.

[Brody]

Two birds and a hand.

[Spencer Newarth]

The topic is Biology. This next great question is via Jonathan Dobbs. Merriam Webster defines this five letter word as quote a major ecological community type such as tropical rainforest, grassland or desert. This is question six. The topic is biology. Merriam Webster defines this five letter word as a major ecological community type such as tropical rainforest, grassland or desert. Brody, Randall, Hanzi, Alyssa, Nate, all confident. Yanni, who was just ribbing Corinne about not getting enough correct answers, has a blank whiteboard.

[Hansi]

I think Giannis might have used up a lot of his brain power hunt White Tails the last month or so.

[Giannis]

That could be.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a costly endeavor, Yanni. You got to dedicate a lot of that brain killing those things. They're the smartest big game animal you know. That's a trivia fact. Again, we're on question six. The topic is biology. Merriam Webster defines this five letter word as a major ecological community type such as tropical rainforest, grassland or desert.

[Randall]

On the subject of Corinne's wrong answer from previous question, I have a hand warmer injury.

[Spencer Newarth]

Currently a hand warmer injury got too hot.

[Randall]

No my.

[Spencer Newarth]

You're not supposed to apply those things directly to ski.

[Randall]

My toes were cold and so I took a regular hand warmer and threw it in my boot bunched up around my big toe. I'm about to lose that nail.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

My whole toe is purple.

[Corinne]

It was one of Corrine's hand warmers though. Is that what?

[Randall]

Well, I've just been having flashbacks after seeing her answer of hand toe warmers. I can't help but think about Cal.

[Hansi]

Will tell you you got what you deserve just for you.

[Randall]

I know. I actually thought about that course. I was on the side of the mountain this weekend and I was thinking about a cow.

[Hansi]

His hatred for hand warmers?

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Giannis]

Oh. Tell you what. In old Wisconsin, man, I picked up a lot of them. Like the new trash.

[Spencer Newarth]

I love that gas stations sell them, though. That's. That's how you know you're in a good place. The gas station sells hand warmers. Get a five letter word as a major ecological community type, such as tropical rainforest, grassland or desert. Yanni, Corinne. Do you two give up?

[Alyssa]

I wrote something, but I think it's wrong.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Yanni is trying to look at Corinne's answer. Do you give up, Yanni?

[Giannis]

I can see it. No, I'm not going to use your answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's going to come up with his own wrong answer.

[Giannis]

He says, oh, no, you guys, I'm not gonna hold it up.

[Randall]

It's either a principal or.

[Spencer Newarth]

And reveal your answers. We have Hanzi saying biome. Yanni without an answer. Corinne says Tyga. Randall says biome. Alyssa says ocean. Nate and Brody say biome. They got it. The correct answer is biome. B I O M e. According to NatGeo, the five major types of biomes are. Do you guys want to take a guess? Taiga, tundra, desert, tropical rainforest, tundra, desert, grassland. So you're missing two of them. Taiga, forest, tiger, marine, temple. That means you're only missing one more recent biome. Aquatic, which I think we would say is marine. So the five major types of biomes according to Netgeo are aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra. Each major biome can be broken down into more specific biomes, such as grasslands being categorized as savannahs or temperate grasslands lands. Question 7. The topic is hunting. The National Wild Turkey Federation defines this call as, quote, an alarm that usually means the bird has seen or heard something. NWTF defines this call as an alarm. That usually means the bird has seen or heard something.

[Brody]

Hansi, I'm sorry I missed your answer. Did you get that last one right?

[Spencer Newarth]

He got that one right.

[Hansi]

Should be the call that the first thing that comes in your mind is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Damn it. That's right. This call has ruined whitetail haunts for me as well. I've had turkeys making this vocalization and the whitetails who were like in the same wheat field became aware then as well, they recognized that that meant something important. So the whole animal kingdom will listen up. When a turkey is doing this call, which is an alarm, that usually means the bird has seen or heard something.

[Randall]

An animal kingdom. Come on. It's not a real. Animals don't have government.

[Spencer Newarth]

Not a municipality.

[Randall]

Yeah, it's not a polity.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready?

[Nate]

No. Give me a sec.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate needs a second.

[Giannis]

I had a gobbler come to me making this call this past spring in Wisconsin.

[Spencer Newarth]

What were his. What was he doing? What were his intentions?

[Giannis]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

You don't think. Your ears were not good. You think he was doing this call?

[Giannis]

100%.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Did you kill that gobbler?

[Giannis]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. So he maybe knew you were there.

[Randall]

He didn't have a chance in his final moments to ask him.

[Giannis]

He was from a long ways away.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

Wait long before I could see him. I don't know. It was just a weird.

[Spencer Newarth]

Kill the dumb one.

[Giannis]

Weird turkey behavior.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying signal. Giannis says putt. Corinne says shock. Randall says yelp. Alyssa says shot. Gobble. Nate says hooty. Who? Brody says putt. The correct answer is putt or danger putt. The putt can be a single or several sharp notes. Since this call indicates danger, it's rarely used by turkey hunters, but the NWTF says it's a good call to employ. If there's a tom that you want to raise, that you want to stop or to raise its head, Phil is now going to play you 10 seconds of a putting hen. That was a paw. 10, bro. That can often indicate that your hunt is over with.

[Hansi]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question eight. The topic is conservation. A 2012 Bloomberg Businessweek article describes this waterway as ground zero for Asian carp in America. A 2012 Bloomberg Businessweek article describes this waterway, and this is a quote, as ground zero for Asian carp in America.

[Hansi]

That's a long time ago.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right. But don't think it's changed. Changed? You have this one, right, Randall?

[Randall]

I think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did you consider putt on that last question instead of Yelp?

[Randall]

Nope. I'm not sure that I had term putt in my vocabulary. Not a turkey, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

But I am intrigued by the Hooty. Who? There's a rap song that incorporates that.

[Giannis]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall]

I think it's a master P track.

[Nate]

Lay it down.

[Randall]

Yeah. Am I right, Philip? I'm looking for.

[Giannis]

No, it's not. It's Outcast.

[Hansi]

What?

[Nate]

No. You're thinking of that.

[Brody]

I'm unaware.

[Nate]

Roses. Roses isn't.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, good poll, Nate.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, that's it.

[Giannis]

I'm thinking of. He goes. It's the one where he's, like, tight, like hallways. Smoked out.

[Randall]

Always.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Everybody's been saying it so flat.

[Randall]

You gotta be like, hooty.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hooray, whatever.

[Nate]

Like a person of authorities come in that you need to like. Like, if there's just you, you. That's, like, the universal call.

[Brody]

Yes, it is a. It's a song by Tru. And Master P was a part of that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. The only. I. I don't know a single song by Master P. I only know that he had, like, a really cruddy reality show.

[Randall]

Well, BH1 or basketball player, too. He got a contract with the. The Hornets, I believe. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

Make them say huh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, I do know that.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

And I feel like Arenas really liked that song. In the mid-2000s, I'm trying to think of.

[Randall]

That's the no Limit Crew, isn't it?

[Giannis]

You don't know what I'm talking about.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil's gonna work on finding that. And I'm gonna remind you that we're on question eight. The topic is conservation. A 2012 Bloomberg Business Week article describes this waterway as ground zero for Asian carp in America. Is everybody ready?

[Nate]

Is there, like, a little, like, sneaky thing in this question?

[Spencer Newarth]

No. Randall says no.

[Hansi]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Brody says no. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi and Yanni and Corinne saying Mississippi River. Randall says Illinois River. Alyssa, Pacific Ocean. Nate says Hudson. He was hoping ground zero was a hint for the locality. Brody says Mississippi. The correct answer is the Illinois River. Randall got that one right. Son of Asian carp were first captured in the Illinois river in 1998. They got there after escaping nearby aquaculture facilities. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, there are more Asian carp per acre in the Illinois river than any other place on Earth. The fish thrives in the waterway due to an abundance of food from farm runoff and because of a lack of natural predators.

[Randall]

Hooty.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hoo. Question 9 We'll get to in a second, because first, Phil is going to give us a scoreboard update.

[Brody]

There it is.

[Spencer Newarth]

I got.

[Alyssa]

Oh, no, I didn't.

[Brody]

No, you didn't. Sorry, Corinne. Hansa, Giannis.

[Spencer Newarth]

Just give her one. You know what?

[Brody]

Okay. Corinne gets.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll give her three. She'll still.

[Brody]

She still won't be in the running.

[Giannis]

Oh, yeah.

[Brody]

It's just down to Randall and Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

They've been.

[Brody]

They've been playing. Playing back and forth this whole game. They've got six. Six points.

[Randall]

Real chess match tied up.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question nine. The topic is cooking. This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model. Oh.

[Giannis]

The song is actually called Hooty who? By Outcasts.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, wow.

[Giannis]

What?

[Spencer Newarth]

A poll by Yanni to know that Randall and Brody appear confident in their answer for question 9. The topic is cooking. This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model.

[Nate]

Bonus points for the make.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, but Nate is so confident that he could tell us what the car model is. Randall, you wrote down an answer fast. You put your whiteboard down. You have since picked it back up and taken the cap off your marker. Are you second guessing your answer? He is. He is erasing it with his hand. Doesn't even need the racer sitting next to him. You have this one right now, Randall?

[Randall]

I think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model. Which one of those clues give it away? Is it the bean, the horse breed, or the car model?

[Randall]

Well, I don't think a type of bean without the car model. I mean, I think you need at least two of them.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? No. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[Giannis]

I also have two answers written down. Okay, my second one is the one I'm gonna go with.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody knew this one immediately. First one to come up with an answer. This type of bean shares its name with a horse breed and car model. Phil, would you get this one right? Yeah, Phil would get this one right, if that makes you feel any better. Johnny.

[Giannis]

I'm gonna show Brody now.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's now eliminated one of his answers. He's. Oh. He flashed his whiteboard to Brody.

[Giannis]

Oh, gosh, that's no fun.

[Hansi]

You're on the right track.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody shook his head.

[Nate]

Now I'm playing for third here.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody shook his head no.

[Randall]

What did he have? Civic.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, did you see his answer? Do you have a different answer? Yep. Nate and Brody say yanni is on the right track.

[Nate]

I didn't. I didn't say that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hansi, are you. Do you give up?

[Corinne]

Yeah, I'm just writing names of beans now to try to, like. Try to like somewhere.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're gonna give you about 10 more seconds.

[Randall]

Green horses.

[Spencer Newarth]

You got it?

[Brody]

He's like. He's like Bubba from Forrest Gump, except with beans over there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hansi has quite an extensive list of beans. Maybe just circle what you think the correct one is so I can see all your. All of your other options.

[Corinne]

Oh, well, I mean, I got more.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, just pick one. Which one are you going with here?

[Corinne]

How about.

[Spencer Newarth]

How about he has eight beans written down? How about.

[Corinne]

How about we go with the Sebring?

[Danielle Pruitt]

Go with.

[Spencer Newarth]

Reveal your answers. Hansie says lima bean. Yanni says palomino. Corinne says broad. Randall says pinto. Alyssa and Nate and Brody say pinto. They got it. The correct answer is pinto. Hanzi did not have that as One of his eight beans.

[Corinne]

Yeah, but I did have a green pole up.

[Spencer Newarth]

Pinto is a Spanish word that means painted or spotted. The pinto bean is named for its mottled skin. The pinto horse is named for its flashy coat of white patches. And the Ford Pinto is named after the horse, a theme that also birthed the Ford Mustang, Bronco and Maverick. The Ford Pinto was one of the auto industry's greatest failures due to its gas tank design that caused the car to explode from rear end collision. You boys would have been alive during the the Ford Pinto era.

[Hansi]

Oh, yeah, Our neighbors across the street had one. Really?

[Spencer Newarth]

Did they get rid of it? I know.

[Hansi]

I mean, I was little.

[Giannis]

Little?

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. I think it was like 1970-70.

[Hansi]

I remember my dad mentioning it.

[Giannis]

Yeah, I remember a few of them on the roads when I was a kid.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, and then they changed the design so it wouldn't explode from rear inclusions. And they renamed it to the Bobcat. So they had the Ford Pinto that became the Ford Bob. Yeah. Here's a correct answer review so far. Number one was California. Two, Randy Newberg. Three. Gunpowder. Four. Bone sour. Five. Creature baits. Six. Biome. Seven. Putt. Eight. Illinois River. Nine, Pinto. Before we do question 10, give us a final leaderboard update. Phil.

[Brody]

Oh, yeah, sorry. Where is it?

[Spencer Newarth]

Woo.

[Brody]

There we are. Randall and Brody got the Pinto. They're still tied up. They've got seven points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now after that, we have Nate with four, Alyssa and Yanni with three. Hansi with two. Corinne. We won't say her score. Question 10. The topic is ecology. In this last question, there's a reason.

[Brody]

I skipped over everyone else, but feel free to just.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate declared. Nate declared. He's playing for third place. So we want Nate to be able to secure that third place victory if it indeed happens.

[Giannis]

Corrine, think hard. You can still get one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 10. The topic is ecology. And this last great question is, via Henry Zekin. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the Great Plains according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Again, we have Brody and Randall tied up. They both get this right or wrong, we will go to overtime. Question 10. The topic is ecology. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the Great Plains. And this is according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

[Randall]

Little shout out to our friends up north there.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right, the IFAQ from Elena.

[Giannis]

Now shut up.

[Hansi]

Is hoping.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hoping for an entire expansion pact. Sorry, Elena. The best I can do is question 10 in meat eater trivia and in a mini crossword from among. But go play that mini crossword. You can play it@the mediator.com backslash games. See if you can beat this Yankee Randall with his score of I think it was 28 seconds. And then if you give that some love, we'll have more Canadian content in the future.

[Randall]

Do we get other folks around the.

[Spencer Newarth]

Globe asking for New Zealand and Australia? It would be as far as international listeners. Canada, but they're asking, are they New Zealand and Australia. They also request for content specific to them. I've even had some kiwis offer to write entire episodes for New Zealand.

[Randall]

That would be fun.

[Spencer Newarth]

Outdoor trivia.

[Hansi]

Those boys need to start their own podcast over there, I guess.

[Randall]

Let's do a bonus episode. We can go down to Outback Steakhouse and sit around a blooming on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do we have one in Bozeman?

[Randall]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

It was barred by the old office.

[Randall]

Down on the 18th.

[Spencer Newarth]

Again, we're on question 10. Name the three.

[Hansi]

They used to have a two for one drink special back in the day when we were guiding in Colorado.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, what'd you get there?

[Giannis]

Margarita and a Bloomin Onion.

[Randall]

I might have already. I might have already told this story, but the day that I passed my exams in grad school, they had two for one beers like tall Coors Lights. And I got two. And they brought them out at the same time. And then they asked. I drank one and they asked me if I wanted another. And they brought two more out. So I have a picture of myself with three of the tall, tall draft beers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Which is the day you became a doctor.

[Randall]

Unseemly?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, no.

[Randall]

This was on my way to becoming a doctor.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sorry. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

[Randall]

And UC was playing basketball on the tv. I knew it was a day for me because I was at Outback Steakhouse watching the Bearcats.

[Spencer Newarth]

Helped you become a doctor. Again, question 10. Name the three Canadian provinces that are part of the Great Plains. Does everybody have an answer? As a reminder, we are down to Brody and Randall, who are tied up. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hansi saying Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba. Yanni says Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia. Corinne says Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario. Randall says Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba. Alyssa, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta. Nate, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario. Brody, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba. The three provinces are Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, meaning Brody and Randall both got that one right and are going to overtime with 18 correct answers. Those three provinces are known as the Prairie Provinces. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the Great Plains include parts of 10 states, three provinces, and one territory. They define the region's boundaries as south to the Rio Grande, north to the Mackenzie river, east to the interior lowland and west to the Rocky Mountains. We're going to overtime play the drop Philippines tiebreaker. You ain't first, your last.

[Danielle Pruitt]

I think just cut it at if you ain't first, you're last and then like go into other stuff. That's funny. I never liked it. Hey, Phil. Off, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

The tie breaking topic is cooking. How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? This is a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Randall and Brody will be declared the winner. Everyone is going to play along though, because if one of our other five players were to get this right on the nose, meat eater is going to add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game. And as a reminder, we have a $1000 donation today thanks to Heart and Soil matching our $500 donation. So this could be an eleven hundred dollar donation if one of our seven players nails the correct answer. How many teaspoons are in 1.25 cups? Brody, Randall. Are you boys doing some conversions or are you just coming up with a good guess?

[Randall]

I'm guessing at the conversions and then extrapolating from there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, do you have any confidence in your conversion?

[Hansi]

You know, me and my son were just discussing how many. Oh, we're discussing one of these conversions the other day and now I can't remember what it was.

[Giannis]

One of them's tricky in this whole deal because they're not all or not all. Even numbers.

[Hansi]

Exactly.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

Cups to gallons. I'm good. Get below cups. I'm on shaky ground.

[Nate]

I just did a bunch of this for the chili cook off.

[Spencer Newarth]

I can't remember how many teaspoons did your chili place?

[Nate]

No, dude, I put my heart and soul into that thing too.

[Spencer Newarth]

What were you converting from teaspoons to cups?

[Nate]

Oh, what was it? It's all a blur.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, I can't remember.

[Nate]

We don't have any cup in our rental thing, so. Oh, there's a lot of that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Measuring broth by the teaspoon.

[Nate]

Yeah. Yep, Yep.

[Hansi]

Oh, I'll just leave it the way.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, how do you feel about your answer?

[Randall]

Well, I. I started with made up conversions, then extrapolated from that and then it felt a little low, so I added to that. Okay, so pretty weak.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, do you think your son would have a shot at getting this one right? He would. Is this something they were learning in school or just learning at home?

[Hansi]

At home.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Hansi]

He likes to like make muffins and so. But he would remember it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody Ready? Get. A $1,000 donation is on the line today.

[Corinne]

I had it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hansi is making a few changes.

[Corinne]

I'm going back to what I. Teaspoons.

[Randall]

Are so small, I just keep adding to my number. Maybe I should read.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall's answer is growing. Is everybody ready? Alyssa's gonna make one last change.

[Randall]

It got real big.

[Giannis]

This is for concert.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hanzi saying an even 100. Giannis says 50. Corinne says 40. Randall says 42. Alyssa agrees with Yanni and says 50. Nate says 82. Brody says 60.

[Randall]

My next to last answer was 60.

[Spencer Newarth]

One of you has it right on the nose.

[Giannis]

Just one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm not saying there's a right answer in here. Meaning this is going to be an $1,100 donation. Jeez.

[Giannis]

All right.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is 60. Making double O. Winner.

[Randall]

We were so close to zero.

[Hansi]

Zero.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right on the nose. There are 48 teaspoons in one cup. You could arrive at that answer by knowing there are three teaspoons in one tablespoon. That's what I. Sixteen tablespoons in one cup. Brody got it right on the nose. Meaning we have a $1,100 donation today. $500 from Heart and Soil, $500 from Meat Eater for the regular game, and 100 extra dollars from Meat Eater for Brody. Getting the tie breaking answer right on the nose. So, Brody, what are we going to do with the eleven hundred dollar donation?

[Hansi]

Let's throw five hundred to the National Wild Turkey Federation and six hundred to the Land Access Initiative.

[Spencer Newarth]

Five hundred to nwtf. Six hundred to the Land Access Initiative. NWTF provided us with the danger putt question earlier, which you got right and Randall got wrong that gave you the.

[Randall]

Victory I remember so well.

[Hansi]

Randall's. You don't hunt turkeys a whole lot, do you?

[Randall]

No.

[Hansi]

But you'll remember that now when you're out bear hunting turkey putting at you.

[Randall]

I remember this with teaspoons as well.

[Spencer Newarth]

500 going to NWTF. 600 to the meat Eater Land Access Initiative. Thanks to Heart and Soil for making it a $1,100 donation today. We appreciate their support of the podcast and conservation. Join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down. And he likes taking those two and three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.

[Danielle Pruitt]

We've got a new book coming out in the Meat Eater universe and for the first time. It is not one of mine. Instead, said it's my colleague Danielle Pruitts. Yeah, Danielle, the founder of Wild and Whole. It's called Meat Eaters Wild and Whole Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook and it's an ode to cooking seasonally with wild and foraged ingredients. Now let's get to what you'll find in this book. This cookbook contains more than 80 recipes inspired by what you can hunt, fish, forage, or grow in your garden each season. Often, Danielle will pair her ingredients to reflect both the hunting season and the growing season, so her turkey cutlet is combined with springtime morels, her Gulf coast redfish with summertime sweet corn. She cooks venison with pumpkin for a tasty fall stew. If that all sounds complicated, trust me, it is not complicated. Danielle has a knack for creating recipes worthy of a five star kitchen but accessible to two star cooks and you'll come away armed with techniques that will make you a better cook all around. This book is also beautiful to look at, with gorgeous full color photographs that inspire you to take a real hard look at your kitchen's output. It's Meat Eaters Wild and Whole Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook by Danielle Pruitt. It is out now and it's [e-mail] or wherever books are sold.
