Meet the Contestants

Participants:

• Brody Randall
• Tony Maggie
• Max
• Sarah Lake
• Caitlyn Lo (Spinozo Lake)

Caitlyn Lo joins the trivia game for the first time, revealing her upcoming project: a new podcast called "Backwoods University," which focuses on wildlife biology and the human influence on animal habitats. She shares plans for upcoming episodes, including topics like the history of bison in the eastern United States and the decline of bobwhite quail populations.

Notable Quote:

Caitlyn Lo [02:08]: "We're focusing in on wildlife biology, but also, like, really focusing on the influence that humans can have on wildlife and their habitat. Because me and Clay, when we were working on some of the first episodes and just kind of storyboard and stuff out, I was like, man, I can't hardly mention a species of wildlife or a wildlife process or anything that is not somehow heavily influenced by humans."

[Spencer Newarth]

You're listening to an iHeart podcast.

[Steve Rinella]

Steve Rella here. The American west with Dan Flores is a new podcast production on the Meat Eater Podcast Network. It's hosted by author and historian Dan Flores, who happens to be mine and our own Dr. Randall's former professor. By focusing on deep time wild animals, native peoples in the west, unique environments, Flores will challenge your understanding of the American west, and he will help to explain why it is the way it is today. I count Dan Flores as a friend. We do not agree on everything, but he has had a massive impact on my understanding of American history. And I invite you to get challenged by him in the same way that I have. Catch the premiere of the American west with Dan flores on Tuesday, May 6th on the meat Eater Podcast Network. Subscribe to the American west with Dan Flores on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to Dan and it will stretch your brain all out. And I mean that in a very good way.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a me 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 Brody Randall, Tony Maggie Max, Sarah Lake Pickle, and Caitlyn Lo. Spinozo Lake. What are you doing in town? First time on trivia?

[Caitlyn Lo]

Yeah, yeah. Long time listener, first time participant.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I'm working on a new podcast that's going to go on the Bear Grease feed. Pretty excited about that. It's going to be called Backwoods University.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ooh, I thought we were going to do Bear Grease trivia. I thought that's what you were going to.

[Caitlyn Lo]

That might be more embarrassing if I didn't know some of that, but I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know.

[Caitlyn Lo]

We'll see. We'll see how it goes.

[Spencer Newarth]

What's the show about?

[Caitlyn Lo]

We're focusing in on, like, wildlife biology, but also, like, really focusing on the influence that humans can have on wildlife and their habitat. Because me and Clay, when we were working on some of the first episodes and just kind of storyboard and stuff out, I was like, man, I can't hardly mention a species of wildlife or a wildlife process or anything that is not somehow heavily influenced by humans. Could be positive, could be negative, but it's a big part of it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, give me some examples of episodes that are on the docket.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Gotcha. So we've got one coming out on bison, but it's about a history on bison in the eastern United States.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, all right. Yeah, they need some love, too, man.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Yeah, I got to go to a spot in northern Tennessee. It's actually Dwayne Estes who was on the podcast here. The guy that worked with him went to a property where they were restoring prairie and they had digitized some of the buffalo trails from the Cumberland settlements. And there's a spot on that property where there's still a like visible bison trail. Like trees still cleared out. Still a visible trail. Super cool. So doing that, doing bobwhite quail, kind of what happened to them? Why, why did we used to have a lot of them and now we seemingly don't? So those are some of the big.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ones on the, on the bear grease feed. When do these come out? Monday. Monday.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Monday.

[Spencer Newarth]

Like this coming Monday?

[Caitlyn Lo]

No, no, no, no. Be on Monday's first one's June 9th.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, pretty soon then. Yeah. What's going to be your strength and your weakness in meat eater trivia?

[Caitlyn Lo]

My strength is going to be a lot of confidence. My weakness is going to be I'm probably not really going to know a lot of the answers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, all right. I think that's backwards from Randall. Randall's strength is he knows a lot of the answers and his weakness is sometimes he's leaking confidence.

[Brody Randall]

I have no faith in myself or my abilities.

[Spencer Newarth]

Caitlin, how do you feel about your chances of meat eater trivia?

[Sarah Lake]

You know, I'm just here for the experience. Spencer, strength and weakness. Strength is going to be anything trapping related or weird wildlife science question. Plants. I'm on top of it.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, you and Lake have that category down. All right. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four 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. Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia.com with the subject line IFAQ. Amber Langley says would love for you to feature more female trappers if you can find them. Well, Amber, we have Caitlin with us today. Caitlin, how's your trapping season been?

[Sarah Lake]

Well over now, but I had a really awesome winner. It was kind of, kind of a record year for me. Bobcats, coyotes, beaver.

[Spencer Newarth]

Give us the numbers on them.

[Sarah Lake]

Let's see, 13 beaver, nine coyotes, eight bobcats, couple raccoons, couple possums.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. This was in Kansas.

[Sarah Lake]

In Kansas. Predominantly public land. I had a nuisance beaver job that pulled a bunch of them off at the end there. But yeah, mostly public. So I Run a super small line. So, yeah, numbers are not going to be like you would get with like a long liner or anything like that. But it's a lot of work. I really enjoy it. And every catch is. Every catch is like a big deal for me.

[Spencer Newarth]

What was the most exciting thing you trapped this year?

[Sarah Lake]

Oh, gosh, I got two doubles on bobcats, which was incredible.

[Max]

The same trap?

[Sarah Lake]

Oh, no, no, no. Just like. Yeah, interesting. Just like same, same area, really small areas. I mean, I can't run more than like a dozen traps at a time. Like working full time and packing in on public land. So. Yeah, but having. Having those two doubles, two of them were like twin cage sets. I was after actually one cat. I didn't know there were. I didn't know there were that many in there. And yeah, went check the first cage and I had the cat and I was like, oh, that must be the one, because it was, you know, it was a big cat. And then I went to check the second trap and I saw the door was closed and I was like, no way. And sure enough, there was another one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Same day, same day, same day.

[Sarah Lake]

That's great.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Kate works with a lot of the furs herself. She made the beaver pillows that were in our auction house of oddities. I think those sold for like a thousand bucks.

[Sarah Lake]

It was 8,800 5000 bucks.

[Spencer Newarth]

Are you working on any interesting projects right now with your furs from this last trapping?

[Sarah Lake]

So I still have to get everything off to the tannery. Fell a little behind on that. But once everything is back, probably end of the summer, early fall, I might have enough beaver to start working on a blanket. I would really love to have a blanket that would stay with me. But I might start, you know, working on more to put in my shop. Definitely pillows. I love making those.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go. Amber, a female trapper here on Meat Eater Trivia. And she's going to be on an upcoming episode of the Meat Eater podcast.

[Tony Maggie]

Hey, Spencer, I know how you like to promote the website. She's been writing some trapping articles for Maggie on the website too.

[Spencer Newarth]

Give us an example. What kind of articles we got?

[Sarah Lake]

Well, my first one was how running a trapline made me a better public land deer hunter.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh.

[Sarah Lake]

So, yeah, kind of.

[Spencer Newarth]

Peterson needs that advice.

[Tony Maggie]

I gotta give me some traps.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah. Kind of meshing both worlds there, but then also some like coyote trapping. As everybody's. Well, almost everybody in the hunting world, like, has some kind of interaction with coyotes. Whether it's just like thinking of it as a. As a predator of you know, the prey that you're hunting or just kind of an interest in them because they're so prevalent on the landscape. So there'll be a coyote trapping article and then kind of like a nest. Nest predator. A lot of it's hard to. Hard to talk to anybody who hunts any kind of game bird without getting a comment about, you know, predators. And a lot of people are interested in trying to get into predator management.

[Spencer Newarth]

So Caitlyn's articles over on theme eater.com all right, we have some housekeeping today. On a previous episode of Trivia, we had a question about the duck that's named after its long tail feathers that make up 25 of a Drake's body length. The correct answer was what?

[Max]

Max, do you want the what was.

[Spencer Newarth]

The answer, Old squaw? The correct answer was a northern pin tail. But a few listeners wrote in to point out that long tailed duck should also be a correct answer. They do satisfy all parts of the question. They're named after their long tail, which makes up 27 to 39% of their body length. So if you said long tail duck, which is formerly known as the old squad duck, then you got that one correct.

[Max]

Sweet.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well done.

[Brody Randall]

Did that change the outcome of that conduct?

[Spencer Newarth]

Nobody in the room said long tailed duck, so it only changed the outcome for our listeners at home. So go back, give yourself a point for that question.

[Max]

I didn't even think Pentel.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. All right. The Shelby index for today is a 3.5, so our winners should get seven correct answers. Tough. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

[Phil]

Oh, look, the light's not working. This is terrible.

[Max]

Everything.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's okay. Use your imagination. Usually the light flickers tend to win. Everything veiled us right when we have guests in town.

[Brody Randall]

It's on par with how my day is going, you know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Game on, suckers. Question 1. The topic is hunting. This will be multiple choice. And this first great question is via Matthew Stilver. Which of these states harvests the most deer? Is it Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, or South Carolina? Of these states, which one harvests the most deer? Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina? The room is thinking hard about this one. No quick answers, but Brody now has one. Brody, how do you feel about your answer? Okay. Of these states, which one harvests the most deer? Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina? Maxwell, do you have an answer?

[Max]

I do not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, but we're waiting on.

[Lake]

What are you writing?

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody is observing.

[Lake]

I like that answer, Max.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maggie, do you have an answer?

[Max]

Is it because I got it ready because I got it wrong.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Georgia. Kate says South Carolina. Lake, South Carolina. Tony, South Carolina. Maggie, Kansas. Randall, Ohio. Max, Ohio. Brody. Ohio. Every state was represented in our room. The correct answer is Georgia. Only Sarah got that one right. According to onx data from 2022, Georgia harvests 1.2 million deer each year. That's followed by Ohio at 800,000, South Carolina at 700,000 and Kansas at 600,000. So Georgia harvests almost as many deer as South Carolina and Kansas combined. Question 2. The topic is fishing. Rapala says this medical instrument is, quote, an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. It's a quote from Rapala. They say this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Lake]

I better.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tony looks confident as well. Tony, do you have one of these in your boat?

[Tony Maggie]

Yes, I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Do you have one of these in your boat? Brody?

[Lake]

Boat bag.

[Spencer Newarth]

Boat bag. Okay.

[Lake]

I suppose there's one in there somewhere.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right. Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. The room looks confident on this one. Maybe not so much. Randall? Randall, do you have this one right? I've.

[Brody Randall]

I. I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, just.

[Brody Randall]

Whatever.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm not gonna tell you.

[Phil]

Randall ate four hot dogs before noon today.

[Tony Maggie]

Like five minutes.

[Caitlyn Lo]

It's pretty impressive.

[Spencer Newarth]

Alex Jones, when he was at court, he gave an excuse about not remembering one of his children's birthday because he said he ate a big old bowl of chili that day. Oh, yeah. His brain was in a chili fog, which Randall is experiencing. The hot dog fog.

[Brody Randall]

Yeah.

[Lake]

I had two.

[Brody Randall]

Two ideas for an answer on this one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody Randall]

I'm just not sure.

[Lake]

You need to not sweat the spelling and just get something down, buddy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max has wrote something down and erased twice now.

[Lake]

Spencer's very lenient with spelling.

[Spencer Newarth]

We are pretty lenient. Rapala says this medical instrument is an indispensable tool to have at your side on the water. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying forceps. Kate says hemostat. Lake and Tony say forceps. Maggie says hemostats. Randall and Max and Brody say forceps. They got it. The correct answer is forceps. All sorts of different spelling.

[Amber Langley]

Is there a difference?

[Spencer Newarth]

Hemostat has curved. I think they have curved blades. Oh, come on.

[Lake]

Give them hemostat.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right.

[Max]

I was going to write down needle nose. Would you have Accepted that they're the same damn thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

We'll give you. We'll give you hemostats.

[Amber Langley]

I call them hemostats.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Does it have a curved end on it?

[Amber Langley]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

Raala, does the. The manufacturer call it that?

[Amber Langley]

Well, I don't have Rapala's brand.

[Lake]

We used to sell them at the shop and they were labeled Heos.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did they have a curved blade on them?

[Lake]

Some did something.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, you can buy them either way. We'll take either answer. Forceps have hinged handles that control two blades or tongs. They are used in the medical field to grasp and hold objects. Anglers use them to remove hooks from fish and sometimes themselves. Question 3. The topic is wildlife. This next great question. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Brendan Compton for sending this great question. Brendan is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to Trivia at the meat eater.com often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven letter word is defined as a life size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background.

[Lake]

Oh, my God.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is question three. The topic is wildlife. Often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven letter word is defined as, quote, a life size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings in a painted background. Randall, our only player with an answer. Sarah as well. Sarah, you have this one, right?

[Sarah Lake]

I believe so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Randall, you have this one right?

[Brody Randall]

I believe so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Seven letter word defined as a life size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background. Lake, you have an answer?

[Caitlyn Lo]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you like your answer?

[Caitlyn Lo]

The letter count matches up, but that's the only thing I'm confident in.

[Amber Langley]

That's where I'm at too, buddy.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I've heard it called that before, but I'm like that. Dude, that was not technical when he called it that. I don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, we'll see. This is question three. Often used to display taxidermy in museums. This seven letter word is defined as a life size exhibit with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background. Brody is stumped. He thinks it's his homunculus. Knows it.

[Lake]

All I can think of is the last three letters.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, if.

[Lake]

If it's what I'm thinking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tony, do you have this one right?

[Tony Maggie]

I. I have no idea. Okay, I have an answer.

[Amber Langley]

I have an answer and I'm pretty sure it's wrong where I'm at.

[Tony Maggie]

Kind of lean in that direction.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Diorama says diorama. Lake says habitat. Tony says diorama. Maggie display. Randall diorama.

[Amber Langley]

Trick answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max says aquarium. Brody without an answer. The corre is diorama. Well done, room. The first diorama depicting a natural habitat was made by painter and taxidermist Carl Akeley in 1889. It was featured in New York's American Museum of Natural History. Blending artistic skill with scientific accuracy, his goal was to captivate audiences and raise awareness about the importance of habitat conservation. Question 4. The topic is conservation. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs.

[Max]

That was fascinating.

[Sarah Lake]

I told you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody and Randall already have their answer. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs.

[Brody Randall]

Spencer. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that last two weeks ago, I was at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody Randall]

Incredible dioramas.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do they.

[Brody Randall]

Incredible dioramas.

[Spencer Newarth]

I bet they do them well. Was it all. Was it all game animals?

[Caitlyn Lo]

What.

[Spencer Newarth]

What did they have? Give me some examples.

[Brody Randall]

I mean, all, all types. Like there's one room that just has every sheep and goat species from around the world on this big mountain background up on the rocks. And it progresses through like morning light, daylight, sunset, dark. Really just a. A breathtaking museum.

[Spencer Newarth]

Denver's museum, their Museum of Natural History, I think that's what it call is called. They have some great dioramas as well. They have some Easter eggs in theirs. They painted in their background. Some trolls that you're supposed to look for. I think each one of them has a troll somewhere, paint painted there. So if you're at the Denver Museum of Natural History, keep your eyes peeled for those. A blank cascade is the indirect species interaction that originates with predators and spreads downward through food webs. This is question four. Is everybody ready? Max, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying substance. Kate says trophic. Lake says trophic. Tony says trophic. Maggie and Randall say trophic. Max says common. Brody says trophic. The correct answer is trophic. Trophic cascades can occur when you add or remove a top predator from the food chain. Some examples include sea otters and kelp forests, vultures and rabies, and most famously wolves and beavers in Yellowstone National Park.

[Lake]

Wasn't that one debunked, though?

[Spencer Newarth]

I think, yeah, I think there's some disagreement and I think the, the modern take is that it's. It's not necessarily that cute and simple that wolves show up and then willows grow and then beavers return. We're on to question five. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Heather Booth. I need to pick it up. According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America.

[Tony Maggie]

This feels like a trick.

[Sarah Lake]

I know.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Tony has declared it to be a trick. Brody, seems tricky yet to write down an answer.

[Tony Maggie]

Caitlin, I have never seen somebody write down an answer as quickly as you did for that last question. I thought that whiteboard was gonna fly.

[Spencer Newarth]

Out of your hand.

[Tony Maggie]

You brought it to your face so fast.

[Lake]

I think it is a trick.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America.

[Tony Maggie]

Brody, it feels like a trick, doesn't it?

[Spencer Newarth]

We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after.

[Lake]

I don't want to talk about it too much though.

[Tony Maggie]

Right?

[Spencer Newarth]

Two players are now worried it's a trip. Randall, do you have an answer?

[Brody Randall]

I have an answer, but I don't think it's a good one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody Randall]

I only have so many quail in my brain.

[Lake]

Also, is this like, as of now or historically or.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is according to Quail Forever. I think that's.

[Sarah Lake]

That's a leading question.

[Lake]

It is, but it's like, could be.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to Quail Forever, this species of quail has the largest distribution in North America. Is everybody ready?

[Amber Langley]

Turns out I don't know many quail species.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have six. Sarah and Kate and Lake and Tony and Maggie and Randall saying Bob White. Max says California. Brody says Merns. The correct answer is Bob White quail. The room did very well.

[Max]

I was thinking gambles too.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bob White quail are found in 39 states ranging from New England to Mexico. They're classified as a non migratory bird. Although there is one population in the Smoky Mountains that moves from low elevation wintering habitat to high elevation breeding habitats each year.

[Lake]

Which ones are ones?

[Max]

That was a bone for you.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I could not afford to miss that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Montezuma are there. Are they scaled blue gambles.

[Lake]

Thinking all of Mexico?

[Spencer Newarth]

In our pre show banter, we had Lake talk about the Bob White quail. So that was just a coincidence.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Would have been real bad if I'd have missed that one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I hope it was just Bill. We're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

[Phil]

It's got a pretty good game.

[Brody Randall]

Oh, geez.

[Phil]

Max, despite your declaration that Spencer invites you every week for Comic Relief. That's just not true. But you do have one point in our last place. Brody is coming up next with two points.

[Sarah Lake]

But you're not funny either.

[Spencer Newarth]

But he is handsome.

[Sarah Lake]

He's trying really hard.

[Brody Randall]

Classically good looking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Well dressed, nice voice.

[Phil]

Lake and Maggie are tied up with three points. And we've got a four way tie for first currently between Sarah, Tony Randall and old trapper Kate.

[Max]

I'm rooting for the ladies.

[Sarah Lake]

Appreciate that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 6. The topic is biology. Hatch is a synonym for this word which is defined as, quote, a group of young birds that were all born at the same time.

[Max]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, Blake, Tony, all quick to answer this one. This is question six. The topic is biology. Hatch is a synonym for this word which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Randall has now joined them with an answer. Randall, do you have this one right?

[Brody Randall]

Geez, I hope so, given how tight this game is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Spencer, Four players with four points. Hatch is a synonym for this word which is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Handsome Maximus is struggling though.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Maximus.

[Brody Randall]

He looks good doing it.

[Max]

I should have wore a collared shirt today.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I'm gonna call you Handsome Maximus from here on out.

[Spencer Newarth]

I ask you this all the time, Max, and I always forget the answer. Is it Maxwell? Maximus Maximilian? What's the full name?

[Max]

Just Max.

[Spencer Newarth]

Just Max.

[Max]

Just kidding. It's Maxwell. Okay, but I wish it was like Maximus primus promis.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, just lie to us this time. Hatch is a synonym for this word which Is defined as a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying, I had that and I. Kate says brood. Lake says clutch. Tony says brood. Maggie brood. Randall brood. Max yearling.

[Max]

Sticking beef.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody says clutch. The correct answer is brew. Look up clutch. We'll see if that's. If that is defined as a group of young birds.

[Tony Maggie]

Clutch right away. And then I thought about it and I clutch down and we're brood.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're going to look this up and see we need a drum roll.

[Sarah Lake]

Well, see, the problem is the clutch is the eggs.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Yeah. I was so confident.

[Brody Randall]

That's the distinction.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I think you.

[Spencer Newarth]

A group of eggs fertilized at the same time.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nope.

[Max]

That's a clutch.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's the clutch. That's what it says a clutch is. We're going to go look.

[Max]

You should actually get negative points for that.

[Brody Randall]

That's why I have a brood of chickens in my garage right now. Not a clutch of chickens.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, they're probably not a clutch. They're born again. This was a group of young birds that were all born at the same time. I don't think we're going to give it to you if you said clutch. Oh. Animals that produce broods include birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. There are brood parasites, which are animals that trick other animals into raising their young. Some species that use this strategy include cowbirds, black headed ducks, mokokid catfish, and cuckoo bumblebees.

[Max]

What's a black headed duck?

[Spencer Newarth]

Don't know. I think it's a South American thing.

[Caitlyn Lo]

It's a duck with a blackhead.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 7. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Frank Boda. This elk call shares its name with a 2 Live Crew song. This elk call shares its name with a 2 Live Crew song.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I have no idea.

[Tony Maggie]

Right.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah.

[Max]

I don't Even know who 2 Live Crew is.

[Brody Randall]

Is it hip hop act?

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah. What genre of music are we talking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Two Live Crew with the. That's your only hint.

[Brody Randall]

Country and Miami Hurricanes teams. Right. Didn't they run around with the bad boys?

[Spencer Newarth]

What?

[Caitlyn Lo]

I know on this one.

[Spencer Newarth]

This elk call shares its name with a 2 Live Crew song.

[Tony Maggie]

I'm weirdly confident of this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Tony knows. Brody, you know this one.

[Lake]

I only know one elk call. That could.

[Spencer Newarth]

It could pop. Okay. That's. That's how much 2 Live Crew. What's. What's your Rolodex on their music?

[Lake]

I mean, I. I'm aware that they existed back in the day.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right.

[Lake]

I couldn't tell you the name.

[Brody Randall]

I think they were one of the groups that, like Congress held hearings, profane their lyrics.

[Sarah Lake]

Boy, who's.

[Lake]

Whose wife? Senior's wife. George Senior's wife was. She's the one that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Barbara.

[Lake]

Was she the one that was.

[Brody Randall]

Possibly.

[Lake]

I think it was her.

[Brody Randall]

Yeah, that'd be right. It's cuz. It's like the. Aren't these guys. Weren't they running around with like, Michael Irvin and the. The U?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know that. You're probably right.

[Caitlyn Lo]

You're encouraging my answer with your comments.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yeah. They were the main fixture in the Miami hip hop scene. It says, is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah and Kate saying bugle.

[Amber Langley]

Oh, Tony, that's good.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Tony say hoochie mama. Maggie says bugle. Randall says hoochie mama. Max says cow. Yo. And Brody says hoochie mama. The correct answer is hoochie mama. The primo hoochie mama has been on the market for over 20 years. It's so popular that I found a haunting forum post from 2005 that declared, Elk are getting used to its sound. Now, normally when I reference a song on the show, we play it. But Clay Newcomb would quit if I put that out over our airwaves. So you'll have to go listen to the 1995 hit Hoochie Mama on your own.

[Phil]

On the. On the live tour. I witnessed Randall play some chief keef for Clay on the tour bus. I've never seen a look in a man's eyes. And then Clay. Clay turns Randall and goes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Goes.

[Phil]

You actually listen to this like you enjoy it. Like, I remember I.

[Brody Randall]

Whenever I hear that song. Whenever I hear that song, I remember love, Sosa.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Brody Randall]

I remember just Clay looking at me and think, so you.

[Spencer Newarth]

You listen to this shocked Chief Keefa. He was. He was busted for pot in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport.

[Brody Randall]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Like, pretty recently.

[Sarah Lake]

What was he doing in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota?

[Spencer Newarth]

We're on to question eight. The topic is cooking. This seven letter word is defined as, quote, a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. This seven letter word is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Sarah, you have this one, right? Very quick to answer, pretty confident.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, you have this one, right?

[Brody Randall]

Seven letters, and they do describe what this question asks.

[Spencer Newarth]

For a piece of fruit, vegetable, or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. What do you got? Max, if you're. I don't know.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I ain't got a clue.

[Brody Randall]

This is question eight.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is question eight from Mississippi, bro.

[Caitlyn Lo]

We don't call it stuff, we just fry it.

[Tony Maggie]

I know, but you've been eating this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Since you were a baby.

[Brody Randall]

I bet.

[Sarah Lake]

I'm really curious who's doing this to fruit. That is a good question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Seven letters defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable or meat.

[Lake]

I think deep fried.

[Tony Maggie]

Just about anything. Yeah.

[Sarah Lake]

Who's out there deep frying?

[Lake]

No, I like. I know what.

[Max]

Spencer, can you look at my answer pieces?

[Sarah Lake]

Deep fried, watermelon. Oh, the whole thing. Now you.

[Max]

I think I'm close.

[Spencer Newarth]

Seven letter word, as long as I spelled it right, is defined as a piece of fruit, vegetable or meat that is coated in batter and deep raspberries.

[Caitlyn Lo]

Whatever I written down is not right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Our southern representative lake is struggling on this. That is a thing. I don't know. He's too close to the subject matter. That's the problem.

[Caitlyn Lo]

They're going to. You're going to say what the answer is and I'm going to be like.

[Brody Randall]

I don't know if I like my answer anymore.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I don't like it at all. I don't like my answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Seven letter word. A piece of fruit, vegetable or meat that is coated in batter and deep fried. Is everybody ready?

[Caitlyn Lo]

Oh, this is bad.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Sarah saying tempura. Kate says breaded, says nuggets. Tony says breaded. Maggie says says tempura. Randall, same answer. Max says chislick and Brody without an answer. Nobody got it. The correct answer is fritter.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, come on.

[Spencer Newarth]

A fritter?

[Caitlyn Lo]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

I've got a very specific.

[Amber Langley]

Fritter is typically like multiple pieces bound together. It's not like one chunk.

[Brody Randall]

I'm guessing Spencer has a source for this.

[Sarah Lake]

I'm going to.

[Spencer Newarth]

This was a very specific.

[Tony Maggie]

Nobody got it though, so it doesn't matter.

[Spencer Newarth]

No one got it. Fritters can feature almost anything from apples to clams to corn to ham. For a fishy preparation, check out our recipes on theme eater.com called fish fritters or smoked trout fritters.

[Amber Langley]

Yeah, and it's little pieces of fish rolled into balls. It's not a piece of fish.

[Phil]

I'm on magazine.

[Sarah Lake]

Of tempura for us.

[Spencer Newarth]

Really quick, Spencer, we're not going to give it to anything. I will look up a definition.

[Amber Langley]

I'm just saying I think your definition of Fritter is incorrect.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bill is going to give us a scoreboard.

[Amber Langley]

I just don't agree.

[Phil]

Here we are, we have some people have pulled ahead. One of but one of those people is not Max. He has one point still. Brody is has three points. Sarah, Maggie and Blake all have four points a piece. Caitlyn has five. And tied up in first place are Tony Peterson and Randall Williams with six points.

[Spencer Newarth]

The tempura definition is a Japanese dish of fish, shellfish or veget vegetables fried in batter. They do not include fruit in there.

[Max]

That was a good guess, though.

[Spencer Newarth]

No one got it right.

[Brody Randall]

Yeah. I was also wondering if tempura is technically deep fried.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sure it is.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah, it definitely is.

[Brody Randall]

Okay. Jesus Christ.

[Spencer Newarth]

I never worked at a hibachi grill in the definition. It was deep fried. Question 9. The topic is woodsmanship. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States, according to the Weather Channel. Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States, according to the Weather Channel. We're on question nine. Some quick answers in the room.

[Max]

At least I know my months.

[Spencer Newarth]

Find out if you do you know how many?

[Brody Randall]

How many?

[Max]

Last time I checked, 10.

[Spencer Newarth]

Name two of the three months with the most tornadoes in the United States, according to the Weather Channel.

[Sarah Lake]

Anything you write down is a 1 in 12 chance.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I know she has a point.

[Max]

Well, I can't write down the same month though, so.

[Tony Maggie]

I mean, you could.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready?

[Tony Maggie]

Please don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maggie, are you ready?

[Amber Langley]

Yeah.

[Caitlyn Lo]

That'd be so fun.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your your answers. We have Sarah saying August and September. Kate says April, May. Lake says October, November. Tony says April, May. Maggie says July, August. Randall says April, May. Max says July, August. Brody says May, June. The three months are April, May and June. So the room did fairly well. According to data from 2004 to 2023, May is the most dangerous month for tornadoes, followed by April and June. 52% of the country's tornadoes occur in this stretch. The least dangerous months are December, January and February. Phil, let's get another scoreboard Update before question 10.

[Phil]

It's still tied up. Tony and Randall have seven points apiece and the only other players still left in the game is Caitlyn with six.

[Amber Langley]

Come on, Caitlin.

[Brody Randall]

Tony and I both get this right, we'll go to overtime. If we get this wrong, we'll both go to overtime.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good. Yes.

[Amber Langley]

Good job, Brandon.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thank you. Question 10.

[Brody Randall]

I just wanted to build the suspense for listeners at home.

[Spencer Newarth]

The topic is public lands. The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. The 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. Randall and Tony are tied. Caitlin is one point behind.

[Sarah Lake]

This is a Hail Mary.

[Spencer Newarth]

1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state.

[Brody Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

How do you feel about your answer, Randall?

[Brody Randall]

I feel pretty good. Not entirely confident.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right. How about you, Tony?

[Tony Maggie]

I feel regionally confident.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Tony Maggie]

And state specific? Not confident.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. 1967 Patterson Gimlin film that depicts a Bigfoot was shot on the Six Rivers National Forest in this state. How about you, Kate? You have this one, right?

[Sarah Lake]

I'm in the same boat as Tony.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Sarah Lake]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying Washington. Kate says Washington.

[Tony Maggie]

Oh, no.

[Spencer Newarth]

Lake says Maine. Tony says Oregon. Maggie says Washington. Randall says Oregon. Max says Washington. Brody says Washington.

[Brody Randall]

Mm.

[Sarah Lake]

Oh, boy.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is California. Nobody got that one right.

[Brody Randall]

Oh, geez.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Patterson Gimlin film is considered the most famous footage of Bigfoot that exists. It supposedly shows a female Sasquatch walking along Bluff Creek. That's located 38 miles south of Oregon and 18 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. In 1998, a man came forward and confessed he was the person in the Bigfoot costume. And in 2002, another man went public saying he created the gorilla suit. But Bob Gimlin denies that the film was a hoax. Here is a remastered version of that footage. Take it away, Phil. That is the Patterson gimlin footage from 1967.

[Phil]

Straight up. Just a dude.

[Caitlyn Lo]

I don't know what you're talking about, man. It looks legit.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker.

[Phil]

I got the lights.

[Brody Randall]

Now this is one of those two scenarios I mentioned earlier.

[Steve Rinella]

If you ain't first, you laugh and then like go into other stuff.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's funny.

[Steve Rinella]

I never liked it. Hey, Phil. Off, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

The tie breaking topic is hunting. And this will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Tony and Randall will be declared the winner. But the rest of the room is going to play along as well. Because if somebody gets it right on the nose, meat eater will add an extra $100 to the donation at the end of the game. What is the Average grain weight of 30 Odd 6 Springfield ammo that's available at Bass Pro Shops?

[Brody Randall]

Average.

[Spencer Newarth]

Average. This. I looked at 63 offerings that they have and I took the average grain weight so not.

[Brody Randall]

So you're not looking for a specific bullet weight. You're looking for just if you add.

[Spencer Newarth]

All those up and then divided by 63.

[Brody Randall]

Gotcha.

[Steve Rinella]

Yes.

[Brody Randall]

It's a weird way of doing it.

[Spencer Newarth]

What is the average of 30 odd 6 Springfield ammo?

[Phil]

This is more fun.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's available at Bass Pro Shops. Again, we're down to Tony and Randall, who both have seven correct answers. They nailed the Shelby index, but the rest of the room is playing along as well. Tony doesn't kill a lot of things with a rifle. What. What cartridge do you use? When you do, though, you seem like a.3006. Man.

[Tony Maggie]

I don't have a.3006. I have a.308 and a.243. And I am very light on rifle kills in my day.

[Spencer Newarth]

So your daughters can shoot those guns as well, right?

[Tony Maggie]

Right.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right.

[Tony Maggie]

Right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, on the other hand, I imagine he owns just a full gun case of 30 odd sixes.

[Brody Randall]

I've actually never owned a 30 odd six.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. Okay.

[Lake]

Shame on you owned a lot of 30 caliber rifles.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Brody Randall]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

UnAmerican.

[Brody Randall]

Yep.

[Spencer Newarth]

What is the average grain weight of 30 on six Springfield ammo? That's available at Bass Pro Shops. And this was looking at 63 of their offerings. Tony very quick to answer. He's not going to revisit his whiteboard. He's going with his gut on this one.

[Tony Maggie]

And math is really my strong suit. So I think I got this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Sarah Lake]

I like how Randall was like, are we talking mean, median, or mode? And Tony's like, I don't even know what those words are.

[Tony Maggie]

No, I just thought of the smallest one I could think of and the biggest.

[Spencer Newarth]

And there you go.

[Tony Maggie]

Freaking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Tony Maggie]

Split the difference.

[Spencer Newarth]

And now Randall has gone back to his.

[Tony Maggie]

Then I added five.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know why. Is everybody ready?

[Tony Maggie]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sarah saying 205. Kate says 170, Lake says 130. Tony says 155. Maggie says 143. Randall says 166. Max says 123. Brody says 170. Somebody has it right on the nose.

[Max]

I can't wait for it to be me.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is 166 grand. After Disney, the question and never owning a 30 odd six somehow put it right on the money. To be specific, 166.3.

[Brody Randall]

My goodness.

[Spencer Newarth]

An extra $100 donation at the end of the game. There are 63 offerings of 30 odd 6ammo at Bass Pro. The most common are 150 grain, 180 grain, and 165 grain. The lightest is 125 grain, and the heaviest is 220 grain. Randall, what are you gonna do with your 600 donation today? One hundred and sixty six. That's. That's very impressive. How did you arrive at that number?

[Brody Randall]

Well, I went from 163 to 166 there. I figure at the high end we're looking at 180s. Low end, we're looking at like a 150, 155 grain. I figured the actual the mode was probably around 165. And then I just. I'm sure there's a 178 grain mixed in there. I think Hornady's Precision Hunter is loaded in 168 grain in the 30. 06.

[Spencer Newarth]

So anyway, $600 donation.

[Brody Randall]

I'd like my $600 donation to go towards backcountry hunters and anglers, because as we all know, there's a lot of really stupid, stupid things being proposed by stupid, bad people when it comes to our public lands. And I know Cal has been beating the drum and he hasn't been sleeping well lately. So maybe with another $600 in the.

[Spencer Newarth]

War chest at BHA can ease his mind.

[Brody Randall]

He can ease his mind a little bit.

[Spencer Newarth]

$600.

[Brody Randall]

Take care of yourself.

[Spencer Newarth]

Fighting the good fight. Thanks for joining us. Like, thanks for joining us, Caitlin. 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, 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.
