Episode Summary: The MeatEater Podcast - Ep. 639: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CXLIII

Introduction to the Special Christmas Family Feud Episode December 18, 2024

In this festive installment of The MeatEater Podcast titled "Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CXLIII," host Spencer Newarth welcomes listeners to a special Christmas edition of MeatEater Trivia. Differing from the usual 10-round quiz format, this episode adopts the beloved Family Feud style by popular demand, aiming to engage the MeatEater community in a holiday-themed competition centered around hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

Notable Quote:

Spencer Newarth [01:40]: "Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins."

Overview of Game Rules Spencer outlines the unique format of the episode, explaining that the competition consists of two teams battling through various trivia rounds. Each round begins with a face-off where players from opposing teams compete to provide the highest-ranking answer to seize control of the board. The team in control then decides whether to "play" the question or "pass" it to the opposing team. Correct answers accumulate points, while incorrect ones lead to strikes. Accumulating three strikes allows the opposing team to steal the round. The points escalate in later rounds, with the final round offering a chance to double the conservation donation through a "Fast Money" segment.

Notable Quote:

Spencer Newarth [03:10]: "92% of listeners said they'd rather have Family Feud than a regular episode of trivia for the Christmas show."

Team Introductions and Dynamics The episode features a diverse group of participants, each bringing their unique outdoor expertise to the table. Randall introduces his team members, including nephew Seth and Aunt Sam, highlighting family dynamics and setting the stage for friendly competition. Giannis Putelis presents his team, emphasizing the deep-rooted hunting and fishing traditions that bind them.

Notable Quotes:

Brody [08:52]: "He's an upstanding, healthy young man. And I have a lot of tasks around the house that I'd like him to help with."

Giannis Putelis [11:14]: "Hunting and fishing traditions run deep in this family."

Round 1: Hunting Reindeer and Caliber Choices The first round poses the question: "If you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry?" Randall's team starts strong with the answer "6.5 Creedmoor" ([12:40]). Giannis responds with the classic ".30-06 Springfield" ([13:06]), gaining control of the board. As the round progresses, the teams exchange answers, leading to Randall's team securing the round with the correct answer "300 Winchester Magnum" ([18:28]).

Notable Quote:

Randall [14:21]: "But maybe that's the same thing as butcher."

Round 2: Steve's Alternative Wrapping Methods The second round delves into creative alternatives for gift wrapping, asking: "If Steve didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags, what might he use?" Seth kicks off with "Game bags" ([21:31]). Brody proposes "Beaver pelts" ([22:15]), and the teams explore various unconventional options. The Randall Williams family triumphs once again, albeit narrowly, demonstrating keen knowledge of practical outdoor solutions.

Notable Quote:

Marge [22:42]: "Camouflage."

Round 3: Randall as Santa and Desired Gifts This round challenges participants to think about what one would leave for Randall if he were Santa: "Instead of milk and cookies, what would you leave him?" Sam suggests "Hot dogs" ([28:05]), while the teams debate over items like "Books" and "Trivia." After intense deliberation and strategic guessing, Randall's team clinches the round by correctly identifying "Michigan" as a top choice ([38:16]).

Notable Quote:

Giannis Putelis [32:26]: "It's a real nail-biter here, folks."

Fast Money Round: Doubling the Conservation Donation With Randall's family leading, the focus shifts to the Fast Money segment. Giannis and Max are selected to represent the winning team in their quest to double the initial $500 conservation donation to $1,000. They face a series of rapid-fire questions, aiming to accumulate enough points to meet the target.

Notable Moment: Giannis impressively scores 99 points in the Fast Money round, coming tantalizingly close to the 100-point goal required to double the donation.

Final Donation and Conclusion Ultimately, the successful effort in the Fast Money round results in a generous $1,000 donation being awarded to the Choctaw Nation Department of Wildlife and Conservation. The team celebrates their victory, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts and community support within the MeatEater audience.

Notable Quote:

Spencer Newarth [57:23]: "You guys are giving $500 to them or all $1,000?"

Giannis Putelis [58:17]: "All $1,000."

Notable Interactions and Humor Throughout the episode, the camaraderie and playful teasing among team members add a lively and engaging atmosphere. From playful jabs about Family Feud biases to humorous exchanges about unconventional answers, the episode balances competition with lighthearted fun.

Notable Quote:

Spencer Newarth [47:05]: "This is a problem I have with this game because it always just rides on this last round."

Conclusion Episode 639 of The MeatEater Podcast successfully blends seasonal cheer with the thrill of competitive trivia, all while championing conservation causes dear to the MeatEater community. Through spirited gameplay and heartfelt discussions, the episode not only entertains but also reinforces the podcast's commitment to enriching listeners' understanding of the natural world.

[Spencer Newarth]

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 Giannis Brody, Marge, Max, Randall, Sam, Corinne and Seth. This is normally a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters 4 verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. But today's show is a little bit different. This is our annual Family Feud Christmas episode of Meat Eater Trivia by popular demand. Well, we'll get to that later. Now some of our players turn into Scrooge when we play Family Feud. Steve has been especially vocal about it. Here's him bringing the holiday cheer to the Family Feud Christmas episode in 2022. Play the clip, Phil. Show me Jesus. Not on there, man.

[Cal]

More on Christmas. Here's the whole thing. Like, who cares about these 100 people? I don't know what kind of idiots they're asking. It's like, do you solve all life? Do you solve all your problems by just randomly asking people what they think? It's called totally uncredentialed strangers what they think.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's called voting the.

[Cal]

Listen to the question. You said, what do you need to wrap a present? So it's like you're implying like that there's a present. If you said, what do I need to dress a person? You wouldn't go. A person.

[Spencer Newarth]

It is so stupid.

[Cal]

Can you imagine if the subjects of these surveys were vetted in some way or another? This would be like a completely different process.

[Spencer Newarth]

Take the pulse.

[Cal]

Take their pulse and then ask them.

[Spencer Newarth]

Steve, you can just sit it out next year if you'd like.

[Cal]

I'm not coming, dude. There's no way in hell I'm playing that next year because I'd have to know who the hundred people are now.

[Giannis Putelis]

We convinced Steve he's got good points.

[Brody]

We should really have more playoff music for Steve. Just like when he's doing that. Start playing the Oscar music.

[Spencer Newarth]

We convinced him to play in 2023, but we couldn't get him here today in 2024 for the stat of the week. This week, we're looking at the results of a survey from our listeners. Steve's annual complaining made me second guess if this is good content. So I asked our listeners if for Christmas, they'd rather have a regular episode of Meat Eater Trivia or Meat Eater Family Feud. What do you guys think the results were?

[Giannis Putelis]

Family Feud. Family Feud.

[Max]

Considering we're sitting here.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Here'S how much they like it. 92% of listeners said they'd rather have Family Feud than a regular episode of trivia for the Christmas show. Sorry, Steve and Brody and all the Family Feud haters, but the Christmas Family Feud is here to stay.

[Randall]

You're throwing him under the.

[Max]

Yeah, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

I feel like I'll go back and re.

[Brody]

Listen, he's got his elf ears on. He's here.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, I would. I would categorize Brody as a hater.

[Max]

Show me some evidence. I think I won this thing last time.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, all right. Hey, I'll gladly be wrong. I'm excited to hear that you're excited.

[Max]

Bullying for one year.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm excited that you're excited.

[Max]

I wore a hat, for Christ's sake.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now, here's how this is going to work. Our crew is split up into two teams. Each round will start with a player from each team facing off to determine who gets control of the board. During the face off, whoever provides the highest ranking answer will get to choose if their team passes or plays. During main play, each team member will provide answers they think are on the board. If you get one wrong, you'll hear this. If you get one right, you'll hear this. If you get three strikes, then the other team gets a chance to steal. When a steal happens, the entire team gets to come together to decide on an answer which their captain will provide. There are four rounds with the point values being doubled in round three and tripled in round four. The team with the most points at the end, we get to choose where the $500 conservation donation goes. Then they will play fast money for a chance to double the donation for a $1,000 grand prize. These are questions that were written by me and answered by 100 listeners. Each question has themes of meat eater and Christmas.

[Giannis Putelis]

So they've been vetted as meat eater fans.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right, you guys. Minimum, you can complain about the answers, but then you're complaining about the people who are listening to this show.

[Max]

We do that all the time. Spencer, can I Can I make a request for next year? Can Phil, instead of those. Those noises for right and wrong, can we incorporate some, like, wildlife noises or fart noises? Yeah, like a cow barking. When you get one wrong, you know what?

[Giannis Putelis]

I get one right.

[Brody]

Clips of Steve going like, no, no.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, no, no, Brody. Really? In the Christmas spirit. I like this Brody. I bet Bill can. Is that right, Phil?

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Yeah, of course.

[Max]

I got kids, man. It's been Christmas for a couple weeks already.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now, to remind everyone of how this is going to work, we're going to do a practice face off where it's Giannis versus Randall. They each have a bell in front of them. This round does not count. We're just going to make sure everyone knows the flow of the show. Are you both ready?

[Giannis Putelis]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

I surveyed 100 people. Top five answers are on the board. If Seth and Chester were wise men, what gifts would they bring? We have Randall.

[Brody]

Beer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me beer. Number four answer. So what that means. Since Randall provided the number four answer, Yanni has a chance to provide the top three answers.

[Brody]

I forgot about this twist.

[Spencer Newarth]

So you pick your answer, and if it's one of those top three, you get to choose if your team is going to play or pass.

[Giannis Putelis]

But this is just practice.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is just a practice.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah, I'm going to go. You ready for my.

[Corinne]

Ready?

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm ready.

[Giannis Putelis]

Fishing lures.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me fishing lures. Number two answer goes to Yanni's team. What would happen next, Yanni, is you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play. If you're confident that you and your three teammates could do well in this category, then you might want to play. But if you think Randall and his team would really fail, then maybe you pass it to them.

[Max]

By do well, you mean fill in all the blanks.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right. Get all five correct answers before accumulating your three steals. We're not going to play out the rest of this round because this is a question from last year, but does anyone want to throw out there what they think 1, 3, or 5 is?

[Giannis Putelis]

Walleye fillets.

[Spencer Newarth]

Walleye. Show me walleye Filets. That's number one. Now we're looking for three or four.

[Giannis Putelis]

Knows himself.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is an interesting twist. Seth and Chester were wise men. What gifts would they bring? Throw out some answers.

[Giannis Putelis]

Ooh, maybe a music or a musical instrument.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me music. No, that's one strike. Keep giving us answers. What else you got? A boat. A boat. Show me boat. That is two strikes.

[Randall]

They were the wisest men.

[Spencer Newarth]

Any more guesses? If Seth and Chester were wise men. What gifts would they bring?

[Giannis Putelis]

Ammunition.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me ammo. That is three strikes. The room couldn't finish the board.

[Giannis Putelis]

If I was a wise man, I'd.

[Spencer Newarth]

Have brought all that. Phil, show me number three. Bait. Show us number five. Canned food.

[Corinne]

That answer's insane.

[Giannis Putelis]

No one's getting that one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Listen, this was a practice. We don't have to get worked up quite yet. Now, traditionally in we have one player who introduces their family. So let's get to know our teams. Randall, tell us about who you brought with you today.

[Brody]

Well, I have nephew Seth.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, nephew Seth.

[Brody]

He's an upstanding, healthy young man. And I have a lot of. While he's visiting from out of town, I have a lot of tasks around the house that I'd like him to help with.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you get along with his parents?

[Brody]

Oh, yeah, yeah. But just a stand up guy. We're all excited for his future.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's working on a forestry degree, I heard.

[Brody]

Yeah. Can't say enough good things about this guy. He's just a real, you know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis Putelis]

Thanks, Honk. Yeah, appreciate you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Who else is on your team?

[Brody]

Well, in that second chair, we were supposed to have the curmudgeonly hard of hearing uncle who we weren't sure was going to show up to Christmas. That would be Uncle Cal.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yep.

[Brody]

You never know this time of year what he's up to. Probably he'd rather be bird hunting than spending time with the family at the holidays, but.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right. 17 minutes before we were going to record today's show, Uncle Cal sent a text saying he couldn't make it.

[Brody]

So instead of Uncle Cal, we have Aunt Sam. And thankfully, Aunt Sam is always welcome around the holidays because she's an expert baker. Oh, and she's the consummate host.

[Spencer Newarth]

What's your specialty, Aunt Sam?

[Sam]

I really love cookies and I love pecan pie, but I can make anything.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody]

Yeah. That's the confidence we need going into this contest.

[Sam]

I'm not confident. I feel confident about this.

[Spencer Newarth]

And who's the last play you brought with you today?

[Brody]

We have Aunt Corinne. She's always fun, but we're never sure what exactly she's gonna be contributing to the Christmas dinner table.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody]

Could be stingray cutlets or the pecker bone of some unknown animal. So we're excited to see her, but we're not quite sure how to politely decline.

[Spencer Newarth]

Whatever. It's not a potluck.

[Brody]

Whatever experimental dish she's brought.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now we have two aunts and a nephew are one of These the parents of your nephew?

[Brody]

No, I didn't want to make anybody directly related to one another because that makes things weird. So if Giannis introduces someone as his son or his.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. And going against them is the Patelis family. Giannis, tell us about. About who you brought with you today.

[Giannis Putelis]

Well, Spencer, I brought with me my A team. I just want you to know that hunting and fishing traditions run deep in this family.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, good.

[Giannis Putelis]

So I brought my older cousin Brody, who's my medium to large game specialist, and then my younger cousin Max here, who's my waterfowl and small game specialist, and then my female cousin Marge down there, and she' my fishing specialist.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hell, yeah.

[Brody]

As we all know, cousins are divided into two categories, Cousins and female cousins.

[Giannis Putelis]

I only have one.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, is everyone ready to play the Feud? Proud to be.

[Marge]

Let's do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hit the music, Phil. Now this is where you clap.

[Giannis Putelis]

There we go. All together.

[Spencer Newarth]

Look at this white people rhythm we got going on.

[Brody]

I think we're speeding up.

[Corinne]

We're getting out of control.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, going against each other first will be the head of the family over here, Randall, versus the head of the family over here, Giannis. Whoever rings in first will get to provide the answer. And if you ring in before I finish reading the question, I will stop right there. You don't get to hear the rest of the question. Is everybody ready?

[Randall]

Let's go.

[Marge]

Yanni.

[Spencer Newarth]

I surveyed 100 people. Top six answers are on the board. If you were hunting reindeer, what calib Randall?

[Brody]

6.5Crealmoor.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me 6.5Crealmoor. Now, the entire question is, if you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry? Yanni, you get to provide an answer. Now, because Randall provided the sixth answer on the board out of a potential of six correct answers. If you can provide one of the five, you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play. What is your answer, Spencer?

[Giannis Putelis]

I'm gonna go with the old.30 06.

[Spencer Newarth]

Spencer, if ran if Yanni was hunting reindeer, he would bring a 3006 Springfield. Show me 30 odd six, number two answer on the board. That means you have control of the game. Yanni, are you going to play with your team or are you going to pass it to the other team?

[Giannis Putelis]

I can feel the vibe. We're going to play.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, Yanni's team is going to play. So as a reminder, we have six answers on the board. Number two was said by Giannis, the 30 odd six Springfield. Number six was said by Randall. The 6.5 Creedmoor. Again, if you were Hunting reindeer. What caliber rifle would you carry, Brody?

[Max]

270 Winchester.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me 270 Winchester. The number four answer. 11 people said the. 270 Winchester. No, you can't talk. You're all four.

[Max]

Don't they talk in the show?

[Spencer Newarth]

All four of you are playing on your own right now. If Randall's team gets a chance to steal, they all get to come together to provide an answer. So for now, for now, the Patela's family.

[Giannis Putelis]

But you need an esp. Maggie caliber. She's so into fishing.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're on to our, our waterfowl hunting cousin and our fishing cousin Max.

[Max]

Or just throw it. Like just give a bad hand. Both of you get bad answers and then let them fill them in.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, but then we have three strikes to work. They only have to get.

[Brody]

I thought there's a lot of talking for. No talking allowed during the segment.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, let's. Let's level set here on the rules. The team who was playing, they are only playing by themselves at this point. You guys do not get to communicate with each other if you don't fill out the board. If you get three strikes before you get all six correct answers, the other family, which would be Randall's family, gets to come together. And if they provide just one correct answer, they steal all the points for that game. So we are now down to Max. Max, if you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry? We have three of the six answers taken. The answers remaining are 1, 3 and 5. Maxwell.

[Marge]

I don't know if I have one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Answer.

[Brody]

Name cartridge.

[Spencer Newarth]

Name a rifle. I know can't do it. Running out of time.

[Marge]

That's 223.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me 223.

[Brody]

They're soft body critters.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is your first strike. We are now down to Marge, the woman fishing cousin.

[Giannis Putelis]

Wait, so they don't hear.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marge, give us an answer. If you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle?

[Giannis Putelis]

You got this, Marge, you got it.

[Sam]

A 20 gauge shotgun.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me 20 gauge shotgun.

[Giannis Putelis]

I kill a reindeer.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is two strikes. For the Giannis Putelis family. So far they have provided the second answer, which 24 people said that was the 30 odd six Springfield. They provided the fourth answer which 11 people said that was the.270 Winchester. And they provided the sixth answer, which five people said that was the 6.5 Creedmore Giannis. If you were hunting reindeer, what caliber rifle would you carry?

[Giannis Putelis]

Seven millimeter Rem Mag.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me seven millimeter Remington Mag. Number five answer. Ten people gave that answer. That means they have answers. One and three still left on the board. We're up to brody. They have two strikes. Show me. 308 Winchester. Number one answer. 31 people think I got it, said the. 308 Winchester. That means we are just missing answer.

[Brody]

I didn't just tell him the answer.

[Giannis Putelis]

No. There might have been a little cheating going on, but. Whoa, Max, what do you got?

[Spencer Newarth]

We're up to Max. Max, your team has one correct answer left and one strike left. You're either going to win it or pass it over to the random.

[Brody]

Max, remember, you have a reputation as an accused alleged cheater.

[Marge]

I understand that if you go with.

[Brody]

The answer that Giannis just told you. Oh, that baggage will carry with you into the news.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

I like it.

[Spencer Newarth]

All the marbles, the.243. Phil even de him. He moved his mouse over the correct answer and then went to the X.

[Giannis Putelis]

What a dick.

[Spencer Newarth]

That gives them three strikes. That means Randall's family gets a chance.

[Giannis Putelis]

That was a good answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

They get talk amongst each other what they think it might be. I'm going to remind our audience of what is going on.

[Brody]

That means the Randall Williams family got all 100 points from that round we needed. Well.

[Brody]

A little victory.

[Marge]

Victory.

[Cal]

Now, a lot of you guys are familiar with the old hunting tradition of eating, you know, some organ, the heart or a chunk of liver off the first animal you kill. I had that when I was a little kid and it was a big deal. Organ meats were always prized by frontier people who knew the importance of getting a lot of different minerals and nutrients. And as often is the case, those guys were onto something.

[Spencer Newarth]

Something.

[Cal]

Number two answer. 30 people said butcher paper. That means that there is one answer left on the board. Your team has zero strikes. We're at the head of the family. Giannis would tell us, if Steve didn't have wrapping cable or gift bags, what might he use?

[Giannis Putelis]

If they find out you're my daughter, then things might get complicated.

[Brody]

A little Maury Povich.

[Spencer Newarth]

What else?

[Giannis Putelis]

What else would Steve use to wrap?

[Spencer Newarth]

If Steve Ranella didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags, what might he use? Yanni, we need an answer then.

[Randall]

Jerry.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis, Naturals.

[Giannis Putelis]

Material. Materials.

[Brody]

I mean, an expansive category.

[Giannis Putelis]

Sticks and leaves.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me sticks and leaves. That is your first strike. We are now to Brody, who started this whole thing. If Steve didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags, what might he use? How about a tarp? Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

Good.

[Brody]

Good.

[Giannis Putelis]

I like it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tarp. Two strikes. We are to Max, who's in the same position as last time. He can get it right to take all the points, or he can get it wrong to give Randall's team a chance to steal. Here's a recap. If Steve Ranella didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags, what might he use? Number one, animal hides. Number two, butcher or freezer paper. Number three, game bags. Number four. We're still looking for. And number five was. First light camo.

[Marge]

Max, what about a tent?

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

That is not.

[Marge]

Not the same thing as a tarp.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me tent. That is your third strike. Randall's family now gets a chance to steal. You don't need to whisper. Let's hear you discuss this aloud.

[Randall]

But maybe that's the same thing as butcher.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Why do they win?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, I think usually they're whispering while this team is playing.

[Corinne]

Yeah, they usually have the team whisper when the other team is on their last chance.

[Spencer Newarth]

So, like, if they have two strikes. Louder, Louder. Corinne, what do you think it is?

[Brody]

We're going through Fishing nets. Something from a creature.

[Sam]

Shrimp pots.

[Brody]

Shrimp pots.

[Randall]

What's a box? Is there something that's like a box?

[Brody]

A cooler. A cooler?

[Corinne]

I don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Steve Renella didn't have wrapping paper or gift bags.

[Brody]

Pretty good shrimp.

[Spencer Newarth]

Pot is mighty gift.

[Brody]

Just in there.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Randall can get this correct, maybe crap, then his team will have 200 points.

[Marge]

You gotta say that if he gets.

[Spencer Newarth]

It wrong, we have a tight race.

[Marge]

Margie's got a good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. All right, Randall Williams team. We need an answer from you. We're looking for answer number four.

[Brody]

We're gonna go with vacuum seal bags.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's a good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

Cooler would have been better.

[Spencer Newarth]

Vacuum seal bags. That is.

[Sam]

I think I know what it is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Meaning that the Putella's family will get 93 points. Any other guesses for what? Answer four. Could be.

[Sam]

Steve just went rabbit.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is not correct.

[Giannis Putelis]

Are there any other guesses?

[Brody]

Cooler.

[Marge]

Fishing line.

[Spencer Newarth]

No. No.

[Giannis Putelis]

Really?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yachty was closest with his natural materials guess earlier if that helps you guys out. Mud. No.

[Brody]

Seaweed.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show us answer number four. Call fat or organs. So if you just said organs, we'd have given that to you. You're probably right. I love.

[Giannis Putelis]

I love how this shows what our fans think of Steve.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Phil, give us some music here.

[Corinne]

Oh, sure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Before we move into round three.

[Corinne]

Sorry, I lost my mouse. I've got a lot of monitors.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're on to round the point. Values are going to be doubled. And right now we have the Randall Williams family with 100 points and the Giannis Putellis family with 93.

[Giannis Putelis]

We won round two, and it was less points. How's that happen?

[Brody]

Because you didn't get.

[Spencer Newarth]

Because you didn't get. Call fat. Which was worth seven total points. Your team got everything. Minus that, 100 to 93. We're on to round three. This will be Aunt Sam versus younger cousin Max. I surveyed 100 people. Top six answers are on the board. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him instead? Sam.

[Marge]

What'S the rest?

[Sam]

Hot dogs.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me hot dogs.

[Brody]

It's a great answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is the number three answer. Here's the full question for Max, who has a chance to take control of the board. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him Instead of milk and cookies. We're looking for answers one or two.

[Marge]

I would probably leave him a book.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

I like it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Book. Number five answer was book. We had six people say book and 21 people say hot dogs. That means, Sam, you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play. You guys have yet to have a chance. They're going to play. Didn't need to twist her arm.

[Brody]

This is gonna be a reveal category.

[Spencer Newarth]

For who Our listeners, are you for me?

[Giannis Putelis]

Okay.

[Brody]

Hopefully number one isn't poison.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, we are down to Aunt Corinne. I surveyed 100 people. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him? Instead of milk and cookies, we have answer number three, which was hot dogs. And answer number five, which was books. Already taken care of. Of.

[Randall]

And they can be edible things.

[Corinne]

Into the mic microphone, please.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, it's our listeners. Our listeners were answering this.

[Randall]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

I hope Randall wasn't fixing to eat those books.

[Randall]

I know, I know.

[Brody]

Anything that would make me happy, I.

[Spencer Newarth]

Think is just that's.

[Brody]

We're trying to figure out what a hundred people think would make me happy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corinne.

[Randall]

I mean, if the audience does not. Beer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me beer.

[Brody]

I was gonna go with that one.

[Spencer Newarth]

31 people said they would leave Randall Claus. Beer instead of milk or cookies. We're now up to Randall. Randall, if you were Santa, what would people leave you? Instead of milk or cookies, what would you leave yourself?

[Brody]

NBA tickets, rap CDs? I don't have a CD player anymore, though.

[Spencer Newarth]

You'd leave yourself a CD player?

[Brody]

Probably a dog or a puppy.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's your answer.

[Brody]

I'm gonna go with that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me dog. Randall.

[Brody]

Doesn't he know thyself?

[Spencer Newarth]

We're up to Seth. If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him? Instead of milk and cookies? There are six. Six answers, and we have three of them already given. Number one was alcohol. Number three was hot dogs. Number five was books.

[Giannis Putelis]

I'm gonna go with ammunition.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me ammunition.

[Sam]

Oh, my God.

[Spencer Newarth]

Strike number two for the Randall Williams family. We are now Auntie Sam.

[Brody]

And we know they can't leave a gun for me because that would be a straw purchase, and that's illegal.

[Spencer Newarth]

Absolutely. If Rand, if Randall was Santa, what would you leave him? Instead of milk and cookies? Sam.

[Sam]

What does the audience know about you?

[Giannis Putelis]

That's the way it's all on the board.

[Spencer Newarth]

Alcohol, hot dogs, and books.

[Sam]

Oh, yeah, but, Sam, sorry.

[Spencer Newarth]

What else does Randall like besides booze, hot dogs and books?

[Giannis Putelis]

Oh, I got another good one.

[Sam]

He loves trivia.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me trivia.

[Max]

I already said that.

[Corinne]

I'm going to the judge on this.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, Spencer, he said that.

[Sam]

Oh, really? Okay, wait.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your team is done. We now are over to the Giannis Putella's family. You don't need to whisper anything you can discuss.

[Sam]

Trivia was close.

[Marge]

Yeah, trivia was close.

[Corinne]

I'm sorry, that might have been a hint for me, but I. I had to double check.

[Sam]

No way.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah, I mean, did they. Was one of the wrong answers puppies or dogs?

[Marge]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was one of the wrong answers. Here's a review. If Random Santa, I think is. What would you learn? Instead of milk, cookies, what's yours?

[Giannis Putelis]

Something about the NBA we're looking for.

[Max]

You already said. Oh, no, he didn't.

[Sam]

He didn't guess that.

[Max]

Yeah, but you gotta. It's not what you think. It's what these hundred people think.

[Marge]

So I. I would probably go with guns.

[Max]

Do you talk about guns a lot, Randall?

[Brody]

Enough ammo was wrong. Actually, there's a little one now. I think I know one now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis, we're gonna need an answer.

[Giannis Putelis]

What is it? What's close?

[Spencer Newarth]

If Randall was Santa, what would you leave him? Instead of milk and cookies, we have. Answered one is alcohol. Answer three, is hot dogs.

[Giannis Putelis]

You guys like it?

[Spencer Newarth]

Answer five, Brody does it, but I don't.

[Max]

I like guns, Giannis, all right? It's a democracy.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yep, that's right. Brody's. Brody's guns have been outvoted by crossword puzzle.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're looking for answer two, four or six. Show me crossword puzzles.

[Marge]

Come on, Phil.

[Spencer Newarth]

Crossword puzzles. Nine people said crossword puzzles. Any guesses for two or six?

[Giannis Putelis]

Guns.

[Spencer Newarth]

Movies and guns. Those are wrong. Bears, me. That's wrong. Phil, show us answer number two. Venison. Show us answer number six.

[Max]

Doesn't say much about your hunting abilities, Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tobacco. So instead of milk or cookies for Randall Claus, you should leave him boo. Booze, venison, hot dogs, crossword puzzles, books.

[Giannis Putelis]

Hey, you'd have a pretty nice Christmas Day if that was all left.

[Brody]

I mean, there's all sorts of heroes of mine that would be happy with that. Babe Ruth might enjoy it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, you're probably venison, though you probably don't need more of that. You'd rather have, like, a nice juicy beef steak.

[Brody]

Yeah. Yeah. Big old ribeye.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil, can you give us a scoreboard update?

[Brody]

Interesting.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yes.

[Corinne]

Yeah. We have the Williams family with 100 points. And now, with that round being doubled, the patellas family has a total of.227.227.

[Spencer Newarth]

But in round four, point values are tripled. Give us a little music here.

[Brody]

How exciting.

[Spencer Newarth]

There we go. For the final round, to determine who is going to do fast money, we're down to female fishing. Cousin Marge and Aunt Corinne, I surveyed. Hey, Phil, don't turn to the next slide yet.

[Corinne]

Yeah, I. I only did that for the first question. Okay, I apologize.

[Spencer Newarth]

I surveyed 100 people. Top eight answers are on the board. If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want? Corinne?

[Sam]

Alaska.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me Alaska. It's gotta be number one. Answer the full question. If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in? There are eight answers on the board. Corinne got number one. Which 48 people said that means, Corinne, you get to choose if your team is going to pass or play.

[Randall]

We've been playing.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think we got a play. Okay, they're going to play.

[Brody]

We got a long road.

[Spencer Newarth]

They control their own. Ballsy.

[Giannis Putelis]

Ballsy.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, we're up to Randall. Randall. I surveyed 100 people. Top 8 answers around the board. If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in?

[Brody]

Louisiana.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me Louisiana. Number three answer. Eight people said Louisiana. We're up to nephew Seth. Seth, if Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in?

[Giannis Putelis]

Hawaii.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me Hawaii. Number six answer. Seven people said Hawaii. We're now on to Sam. Sam, your team has so far provided three of the answers. You got number one. Alaska. You got number three, Louisiana. And you got number six, Sam.

[Sam]

Washington.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me Washington. No, that is your first strike. We're now, if Santa gave you a fish axe, what state would you want it in? There are five answers still on the board. Corinne.

[Randall]

Wisconsin.

[Corinne]

Good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me good one. Wisconsin.

[Sam]

I was thinking ocean.

[Spencer Newarth]

Number four answer. People said Wisconsin. We're now up to Randall. If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in? There are four answers remaining, and your team has one strike.

[Marge]

I think I got two good ones.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall.

[Brody]

Let's go with. Ooh, the drama.

[Spencer Newarth]

I've got a couple left. Is hanging.

[Brody]

Let's go with Florida.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's what I'd say. Show me smart.

[Spencer Newarth]

Florida.

[Marge]

Okay, now we got one left.

[Spencer Newarth]

Number five answer was Florida. That means there are answers two, seven, and eight still on the board. We're up to nephew Seth, who is wearing some nice Christmas lights today. Looks like a fire hazard. Seth.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in? Maine. Show me Maine.

[Giannis Putelis]

Pretty good answer.

[Sam]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

Strike number two.

[Corinne]

God.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, we are now to Sam.

[Corinne]

Anything?

[Spencer Newarth]

Sam, if you get this one right, the game continues for your team. If you get it wrong, the Putella's family gets a chance to steal. And if they are able to steal this category, they win the whole game and move on to fast money. Here's a reminder of where we're at. Your team has two strikes with three answers remaining. If Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in? Alaska, Louisiana, Wisconsin. Florida, and Hawaii. Sam.

[Marge]

I would definitely say Wisconsin. You know, Wisconsin.

[Sam]

Michigan.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

It's a good answer, Sam.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Michigan. Number seven answer. Five people said Michigan. That means it's down to number two and number eight. Corinne, if Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in?

[Giannis Putelis]

This is a real nail biter here, folks.

[Brody]

Boy, the distribution among three through eight.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is really pretty close.

[Marge]

Pretty low.

[Spencer Newarth]

48 people said Alaska.

[Corinne]

It's a risky play to. To choose to play around when there are eight possible answers.

[Brody]

I know, Phil, but we're playing to win.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corinne, if Santa gave you a fish shack, what state would you want it in?

[Randall]

Texas.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show me.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's a good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Texas.

[Giannis Putelis]

Not bad.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is your third strike. But the game isn't over yet. The P family has a chance to steal again. You guys can discuss this aloud. There's nothing on the line for the other team.

[Sam]

Minnesota.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, I've heard Mississippi. I've heard Minnesota.

[Giannis Putelis]

Fishy place.

[Marge]

Lots of lakes, lots of water.

[Brody]

Montana. There's trout fishing.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, who is just trying to make it harder. Randall's on the other side.

[Brody]

Colorado.

[Giannis Putelis]

Okay, we need a little quiet from the other side.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm not going to throw out just.

[Giannis Putelis]

All the names of the remaining states.

[Brody]

That's a currency that was not extended to us.

[Spencer Newarth]

The other team has said Colorado and Montana. I don't like Mississippi. I've heard Yanni's team say I like Minnesota. Minnesota. North Carolina.

[Giannis Putelis]

I like North Carolina.

[Marge]

I said Minnesota.

[Spencer Newarth]

If your team gets this correct, you guys win and move on to fast.

[Brody]

California.

[Marge]

California the most. Yeah, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

But.

[Giannis Putelis]

But a fish shack.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Marge]

I would do somewhere in the Northwoods.

[Giannis Putelis]

But if you get that's a place where people have fish.

[Spencer Newarth]

Minnesota, Randall, or excuse me, Yanni. What are we down to? What two. What answers have you narrowed it down to?

[Giannis Putelis]

We have narrowed it down to Minnesota. Is our final answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is your final answer. If you get this right, your team wins. If you get this wrong, your team loses.

[Marge]

Come on.

[Giannis Putelis]

The whole game, the whole game, the.

[Spencer Newarth]

Whole entire game, everything is riding on.

[Giannis Putelis]

This is a problem I have with this game because it always just rides on this last round.

[Brody]

You don't know if you won or not.

[Giannis Putelis]

If Santa gave you more fun rounds, counted for something.

[Spencer Newarth]

Santa gave you a fish shack. What state would you want it in?

[Marge]

Come on, Phil.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your answer, Yanni, is Minnesota. Show me. We got Minnesota.

[Max]

We got it.

[Giannis Putelis]

We got it.

[Spencer Newarth]

12 people said Minnesota.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's my girl down there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Minnesota.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's my girl. She knew it all along.

[Spencer Newarth]

Girl. Cousin Marge from Minnesota said Minnesota and got that one right. They take the whole game. That means we have just answer number eight left. What do you guys think it is? Shout it out.

[Brody]

North Carolina.

[Giannis Putelis]

North Carolina.

[Spencer Newarth]

Montana was correct. Five.

[Marge]

Good answer, Randall.

[Giannis Putelis]

A good place to have.

[Cal]

Now, a lot of you guys are familiar with the old hunting tradition of eating, you know, some organ, the heart or a chunk of liver off the first animal you kill. I had that when I was a little kid and it was a big deal meal. Organ meats were always prized by frontier people who knew the importance of getting a lot of different minerals and nutrients. And as often as the case, those guys were on to something because organs are among the most nutrient rich foods on the planet. And you can get the same benefits your ancestors craved via convenient daily capsules from heart and soil made exclusively from regeneratively raised, grass fed and finished cattle. Heart and soils. Unique freeze drying process means all those important nutrients are trapped in, ensuring you experience every one of the benefits of nature's superfood in a clean, convenient taste free capsule.

[Spencer Newarth]

So, Yanni, your team has secured the $500. Your team has secured the $500 donation. But you get a chance to double that with Fast Money. Two of you will play Fast Money. Who do you want it to be?

[Giannis Putelis]

Who wants to play?

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis is going to.

[Giannis Putelis]

Cousin Marge does not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis will be one of the players.

[Giannis Putelis]

I have to be one of the players.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're going to make you be one of the players.

[Marge]

Like you ask a question, I'll explain it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Here's how Fast money works. Two players from the winning team will compete in this round. I'll ask you five questions that you need to answer as quickly as possible. Just like in the regular round, I surveyed 100 Meat Eater listeners for these questions. The player who goes first will get 15 seconds. The player who goes second will get 20 seconds. If the second player repeats an answer that the first player said, they'll be told to try again. Your goal is to get 200 combined points. If you do that, then the donation will go from $500 to $1,000. Last year, the winning team beat Fast Money with a score of 212 points. Again, your goal is 200 points. Yanni, who's going to compete from your team besides you, Max?

[Marge]

I'll play, but I don't have to.

[Max]

Give. Give. Give the kid a shot.

[Giannis Putelis]

All right, we're going with the waterfowl specialist.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis Putelis]

We'll be more diverse.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll tell you this. Max said he loves Family Feud before we turned on the mics today.

[Giannis Putelis]

So he doesn't like Family Feud. Besides Steven Ranillo and Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

The next decision you make, Yanni, is who's going to go first and who's going to go second. I would say the second position is tough. Tougher.

[Giannis Putelis]

Oh, right. Do you want to take the tougher or easier?

[Marge]

It doesn't matter. It's up to you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Let Max be the hero. He wants it.

[Giannis Putelis]

Oh, he wants it.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right.

[Marge]

I have to leave.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max has to leave the room. Oh, boy. Max, Riva is going to come get you once we are done with Yanni.

[Brody]

Go all the way out into the hallway.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go two doors away from us.

[Brody]

Not just go to Chili's office.

[Giannis Putelis]

I just have one request for next year.

[Spencer Newarth]

2.

[Giannis Putelis]

Sorry, I just thought of another one. That we could have the first round matter a little bit more. You can just adjust the rules and that we have some eggnog here for the Christmas spirit.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll say the first rounds did matter because if the Williams family didn't win that first round, the third, we wouldn't have even had a fourth round. Oh, your team just would have had all the points at that point. So it did matter.

[Giannis Putelis]

So we could have pulverized them more than we did.

[Spencer Newarth]

You could have taken every point available in the game. Game. But she didn't. Okay, so that fourth round.

[Giannis Putelis]

And next year, let's put a little Calcutta on it and like just say, okay, that we have to go to Champions afterwards. And the losing team buys beers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sure. So eggnog, Calcutta, duck and turkey noises and out calls. That was requested by Brody. You writing all this down, Phil?

[Corinne]

Yeah, definitely. Also on that note, I just want to say, because the. The audience at home probably didn't realize realize this. I apologize to the Williams family for. For going to the judge on the trivia thing and that kind of gave them the crossword puzzle hint. But for the first question. Hold on. For the first question, I switched to the slide before Spencer finished reading the question. And Randall was able to read it. And that's why he dinged in before Spencer.

[Brody]

But the question began, if you were hunting reindeer, what would you wear?

[Corinne]

What time of the year would it be?

[Spencer Newarth]

Uh huh. Okay. So, Yanni, I'm going to read you five questions.

[Giannis Putelis]

You lost it for us.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your timer starts after I finish reading the first question. You'll answer as fast as possible. If you get stuck on one, you can say pen and we will come back to that at the end, but that usually doesn't work out really well.

[Giannis Putelis]

For people, so I gotta blurt stuff out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maybe just do your best to give an answer right away. We have the timer sitting between us here.

[Giannis Putelis]

This was fun until now. Now I feel anxiety.

[Spencer Newarth]

And he's wearing a Santa coat with.

[Giannis Putelis]

A base layer wool base layer on underneath it. It's getting hot.

[Brody]

And a pair of ribbon tassels.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's provided all the excuses for why this may not go well.

[Giannis Putelis]

Go.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, your time starts when I finish reading the first question. If a hunter wrote the twelve Days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about?

[Giannis Putelis]

Geese.

[Spencer Newarth]

Who would be on Phil's naughty list? Spencer, name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas.

[Giannis Putelis]

Hunt.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Clay was Santa, what animal would pull his sleigh?

[Giannis Putelis]

Bear.

[Spencer Newarth]

Name a gift every fisherman would want.

[Giannis Putelis]

Soft plastic.

[Spencer Newarth]

He got it just in time. He got all of his answers he needed. So we're now going to take a look at the board and see how you did. Phil, any questions before we start looking at these?

[Corinne]

I'm foregoing graphics this year because it took so long this year. So I'm just adding them up now, and I believe I have the total score he has. But we don't have graphics this year.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, so how do you guys feel?

[Giannis Putelis]

I did pretty good.

[Brody]

I feel like there's only one answer for the clay.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah. The last answer was week. Yeah.

[Brody]

I would have gone with Steve for the naughty list.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah. Y. But leaving that for my partner.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go. That's a decent strategy. Okay, so we're going to see how many points you got for question one. If a hunter wrote the twelve Days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about? See? Survey. Or Yanni says geese. Survey says seven people. People. Seven people said geese. Question two. No, not yet. Not yet. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? You said Spencer. Survey says 12. 12 people said like 100. Spencer, name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas Day. Remind me of what your answer was.

[Giannis Putelis]

Hunt. That's what this family is doing.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni says hunt. Survey says. Number one answer. 28 people said they're gonna hunt as an outdoor activity on Christmas Day. If Clay was Santa, what animal would pull his sleigh? What was your answer?

[Brody]

Bar 82.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni says bear.

[Giannis Putelis]

Number two. Answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Survey says bear. Get 30. One people said bear. That is not the number one answer. And finally, name a gift every fisherman would want. You said soft plastics. Survey says 19 people said fishing tackle.

[Giannis Putelis]

Which we're going to give you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Fishing Tackle. So how many points did he get, Phil?

[Corinne]

99 points.

[Spencer Newarth]

99 points. That means the sneaky. You go get Maxwell, your team has a little work to do. But you.

[Giannis Putelis]

He needs 101.

[Spencer Newarth]

He needs 101 points.

[Giannis Putelis]

As long as he can say Steven Rinella, don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, no, no. For that answer, we can't help him out.

[Brody]

No, I know there's a real recurring theme here with just getting right up to the line of competitive dishonesty.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maxwell, you talking about me now?

[Giannis Putelis]

Time.

[Max]

Randall Maxwell out on this thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

How. How do you think your partner did if you had to guess?

[Marge]

I don't know what the questions were, so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, your. Your team needs 200 points. What do you think Yanni got?

[Marge]

He probably got, I don't know, buck 25.

[Spencer Newarth]

He got 99 points.

[Marge]

That's not bad.

[Spencer Newarth]

There are 101 points to come up.

[Marge]

I mean, there's a couple top answers that he didn't get.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm not going to tell you anything.

[Giannis Putelis]

He is a real family feud.

[Spencer Newarth]

He knows what's going on. Okay, so, Maxwell, you have 20 seconds. If you repeat one of Yanni's answers, I will tell you to try again. You have 20 seconds to finish a survey. Your timer starts when I finish reading the first question.

[Marge]

How many questions are there?

[Spencer Newarth]

Five questions.

[Marge]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Are you ready? Yeah. If a hunter wrote the twelve Days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about?

[Marge]

Goose. Mallard.

[Spencer Newarth]

Who would be on Phil's naughty list?

[Marge]

Probably Steve.

[Spencer Newarth]

Name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas.

[Marge]

Hunt.

[Spencer Newarth]

If clay was. Repeat.

[Marge]

Skate.

[Spencer Newarth]

If clay was Santa, what animal would pull his sleigh?

[Marge]

Black bear.

[Spencer Newarth]

Repeat.

[Marge]

Tim. His squirrel.

[Spencer Newarth]

Dog. Name a gift every fisherman would want.

[Marge]

A boat.

[Spencer Newarth]

Boat. That is nice.

[Brody]

There was some emotion in that last one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I was trying to get it in.

[Giannis Putelis]

Did he make it in time?

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right.

[Marge]

What?

[Spencer Newarth]

He finished just in time. And for number number one, you said goose, which was a repeat. I didn't have a chance to tell you a repeat. And then you said duck, so. Duck.

[Marge]

I said mallard.

[Spencer Newarth]

Be your answer.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Duck for number one. All right. Your team needs 100.

[Giannis Putelis]

I think we got this, buddy. Those are solid, solid answers.

[Spencer Newarth]

If a hunter wrote the twelve Days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about? Maxwell?

[Marge]

Well, you said birds, so I thought it was multiple, so I just rambling.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maxwell said said duck. Survey says number one answer. 31 people said ducks. No. Randall has encouraged his team to not clap for Yanni's team. Question 2. Who would be on Phil's naughty list? I've Moved on. Last Christmas, you said. Said Steve. That's the number one answer. Nice.

[Giannis Putelis]

64 people, I said, Spencer.

[Marge]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question number three. Name an outdoor activity you do on Christmas Day. You said skating. Survey says zero, people.

[Corinne]

I thought we were gonna count number three for that, Spencer, but I think.

[Spencer Newarth]

We need a little drama because how many points does this team have?

[Corinne]

I mean, do you want me to spoil it for you?

[Spencer Newarth]

How points does this team have?

[Max]

We need, like, 10 points.

[Corinne]

Do you mean. Do you mean, like, for fast money?

[Spencer Newarth]

For fast money. Total.

[Corinne]

We're going to give that away. 263.

[Giannis Putelis]

So we're good.

[Spencer Newarth]

They have 263 points.

[Marge]

Heck yeah, we do.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, they can't because they got 31 and then 64.

[Corinne]

No, Spencer, that's why I said right now. That's the total that they have. They. Sorry, I spoiled the game. They win.

[Spencer Newarth]

They win.

[Corinne]

They did it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. I'm confused. No. All right, the total.

[Corinne]

The total of Yan. Because I have the total right here of Giannis and Max of. Of the entire.

[Spencer Newarth]

All.

[Corinne]

All five questions.

[Spencer Newarth]

Uhhuh. Oh, no, no, no. I meant so far.

[Corinne]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, yeah, okay.

[Corinne]

We didn't specify.

[Spencer Newarth]

Leave that out.

[Marge]

Leave that out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your team wins. You got. You got all the points. I. I was talking about so far. Sorry. Nice answers, Spencer.

[Corinne]

We'll do graphics next year.

[Spencer Newarth]

So. So number. Number three. You said skate. We're going to give you zero for that. Number four. You said dogs would pull clay sleigh. That was the number three answer. And for the last one, name a gift every fisherman would want. You said boat. That's the number one answer. 47 people said boat. Oh, you guys crushed the fast money.

[Marge]

What'd you say?

[Spencer Newarth]

Rod?

[Giannis Putelis]

Soft plastics.

[Spencer Newarth]

If a hunter wrote the twelve Days of Christmas, what birds would they sing about? Give us some other guesses here.

[Giannis Putelis]

Turkeys.

[Spencer Newarth]

Turkeys was number two. 22 people. Pheasants was number three. 21 people said doves. Doves were number six. Five people.

[Giannis Putelis]

Cranes.

[Spencer Newarth]

No cranes. No. Partridge. The other answers we had, number four was grouse. Nine people said that number seven was quail. Five people said that who would be on Phil's naughty list? We had. Steve was number one. 64 people said that I was number three. 12 people said that Corinne. Corinne was number two. 14 people.

[Corinne]

I. I just want to say there was a large gap between Steve and Corinne.

[Spencer Newarth]

Number four. What are your guesses for the.

[Brody]

It's not me.

[Sam]

Randall.

[Giannis Putelis]

Not Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Not Randall.

[Giannis Putelis]

We've.

[Corinne]

We've talked about this person today already.

[Spencer Newarth]

Because of five people said Cal. The fifth answer. You're not going to get people too far from the microphone would be on Phil's naughty list. Five people said that an outdoor activity you do on Christmas day. Hunting. That was number one. 28 people said that. Fishing, that was number four. 15 people said that. Sled riding, skiing or sledding. That was number three. Sixteen people said that.

[Giannis Putelis]

Snowshoeing.

[Spencer Newarth]

Snowshoeing. I would give you hiking for snowshoeing. That was 17 people. Skiing was with sledding. The other ones you're missing are the bottom three answers. Cooking. Eleven people said that. Sleeping, shooting, guns.

[Brody]

Eight people said that that's not necessarily an outdoor activity.

[Spencer Newarth]

And the indoor fire. Five people said that if clay was Santa, what animal would pull his sleigh? Number one answer, 53 people said mules. Number four was raccoons. Five people said that. Number five was squirrels. Five people said that.

[Giannis Putelis]

That's all on brand.

[Spencer Newarth]

A gift every fisherman would want. You guys got boat as number one. And tackle is number three. Rods, rod and reel, that's number two. 20 people said that we're missing four and five.

[Giannis Putelis]

Fish.

[Brody]

Beer, bait.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bait was number five. Five people said that. Number four was fillet knives. So, Yanni, your team gets to make a $1,000 conservation donation today. Where's that gonna go? You guys could hug. Now we can.

[Brody]

Now we can clap.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Yeah, there we go.

[Brody]

I come to my team. You guys.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yes. Feeling. Dylan, any conservation orc close to your heart right now?

[Spencer Newarth]

We've had some splitting of donations recently. If you'd like to go a half and half, you could do that.

[Marge]

I'm trying to think of like a Christmas.

[Brody]

One Christmas themed conservation orgasm.

[Giannis Putelis]

What about that, that outdoor education from that, was it the Choctaw Nation?

[Max]

Oh, yeah, we could. Yeah, we could do that. And something else if you want wanted.

[Giannis Putelis]

Oh, we can get.

[Randall]

There's a new foundation, the Blacktail Foundation.

[Max]

Oh, yeah, that's wrapped up in mdf. I mean, we could do that. I like giving it because they run kids programs at that Choctaw thing.

[Giannis Putelis]

Yeah, I like that.

[Sam]

Yeah, let's do that for the kids.

[Max]

Spencer, you got that?

[Spencer Newarth]

We have the, the Choctaw Nation Department of Wildlife Conservation. They have a general fund that helps purchase some public lands for them. They do a lot of other stuff. They have scholarships for wildlife conservation. You guys are giving $500 to them or all 1000?

[Giannis Putelis]

All 1000.

[Spencer Newarth]

All 1000 is going to the Choctaw Nation Department of Wildlife and Conservation. Someone from their group reached out said that they play Meat eater trivia a lot and asked us to consider their group for a donation. So that's what we're doing today for the Christmas episode. Sending $1,000 their way to further those wildlife conservation scholarships and their acquisition of public lands. Cool.

[Marge]

Hopefully we can help out a kid or someone.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, clap it up.

[Max]

Very true.

[Spencer Newarth]

See you guys.

[Brody]

Stand up, guy. This nephew of mine be back.

[Giannis Putelis]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

[Cal]

Hey guys. Earlier this year we launched Meat Eater Kids Podcast and we made a deal where if you guys liked it and loved it and listened to it, we were going to make more. And you did. And we did. And we're dropping a bunch new five new Meat Eater Kids podcast episodes starting November 25th. Again, it's a kids show. You listen to it with your kids. It occurs in three acts. There's a little hill history lesson or a wildlife ecology lesson. There's a animal call game that you play by listening to animal calls and trying to guess what animals you're hearing based on some clues. And then real live kids come in the studio and play kids trivia and work together to build up a little pot of money to donate to kids focused conservation organizations. So Meat Eater Kids Podcast coming back. Round two, Meat Eater Kids.
