[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, Randall, Cal, Alyssa Logan, and Tate Morgan from Sons of Smoky Outdoor Stewardship. Tate, welcome to the show.

[Tate Morgan]

Hey, thanks for having me.

[Spencer Newarth]

First thing, tell folks what Sons of Smokey is.

[Tate Morgan]

Sons of Smokey is a organization we formed about five years ago. It's dedicated to removing trash from public land. So we organize events in association with our other event, the Gambler 500. And then also we've developed an app where anyone, hikers, bird watchers, hunters, off roaders can find trash in the wild. Mark it on the app. And then we also use that tool to go out and pick all that trash up.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, a lot of good stuff there. Let's talk about the Gambler 501st. What is it?

[Tate Morgan]

Ah, it's an off road navigation rally utilizing cheap or impractical fun cars. And we wander the forest looking for trash. And it's a big party, too.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Cal, what was your role in that this year?

[Cal]

Oh, I. My objective was to just show all these other user groups that this very eclectic, loose, fun group of people also exist and they're excellent stewards of public land. Like they use public lands and there's this huge stewardship aspect to. I think it was 4000 people in Madras this year.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah, right.

[Cal]

Like, I mean, that's a lot. That's a big group of people get together. So there's some secret sauce that this guy has put out there and, and people are reacting to it and people need to know about it. So that was my objective. And, you know, I just felt like it was a very important thing to showcase during, like the big public lands fight. Right?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Cal had described it to me as possibly the largest public land trash pickup in the world. You said 4,000 people there. What's the rest of the scale of this trash pickup event?

[Tate Morgan]

Well, and so I don't know if I can say world because there's some ocean cleanups that go on nationally that might. But as far as one particular weekend, we've topped out, we've done £450,000 of trash, and that includes abandoned cars, RVs, boats. We go for big stuff. We call it trophy trash. So you roll into camp with a water heater instead of like a big bow. Well, you got a water heater up there, and everyone claps. You can throw it in the bin and you go back out and you do it again.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tell me about the rest of the trophy trash. What are, like, the craziest things you guys bring in?

[Tate Morgan]

I mean, right now it's RVs. We have a big house houses situation that's happening in Oregon, and unfortunately, it's getting pushed out into public lands. And so we've got all these abandoned campers that are out there. I mean, we hauled in about, I think about 12 of them this year, and we got to pick them apart and get rid of them. We did 15 abandoned cars and then boats. Boats are always the funny, funniest thing. So, like, how this. Not. It's not on a trailer, just a boat on top of a mountainside somewhere and we haul it. But it's also fun because you could usually haul them out with, you know, Toyota Corolla or something.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, yeah. Cal, you. You have some content coming out with Tate. Tell folks when and where they'll get that.

[Cal]

Well, hopefully if we can get it put together. Well, next week or so on the YouTube channel, the Mediator Podcast YouTube channel, you'll be able to see some of this. You can always cruise the sons of smoking gambler500 Instagram feedback as well. And then down the road, whenever the editing schedule allows, there'll be more of a. A fulllength, you know, 30, 40 minute man. There was so much to film. There was so much to film. It's. It might just be a scrolling montage of weird and awesomeness. It. It was gorgeous the whole time. So trying to keep the. The. The C in line was very hard.

[Randall]

It sounds kind of like Burning man for people who aren't selfish.

[Cal]

Exactly. Burning man was brought up multiple times during this shoot, and every time somebody was like, this is not Burning Man.

[Phil]

Do not associate.

[Cal]

Like, we. We clean up after ourselves.

[Giannis Brody]

Have you guys ever come in behind the Rainbow gathering?

[Tate Morgan]

No, never. No. But I heard. Yeah, I know that that's kind of a big issue. We're slightly more organized and functional than that group of misfits.

[Giannis Brody]

But no, I'm saying, like, come in to clean up after them.

[Tate Morgan]

No, no. And yeah, I mean, I don't even know where they are these days. They bounce around There are, there are a few like, like the, the Cascade Relay and a few sporting like sports events where people run or bike and stuff that people ask us to come in after them because they're like. These people trash this place. Water bottles and ditches everywhere and, and yeah, that's, that's, that's not our gig. So.

[Cal]

Yeah, Ronnie's crushing cups on his head and throwing them off the side.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah, well, I mean it is a party. I mean we'd have like 10 bands out there and a bunch of. There's some pops consumed, you know, at night and stuff. And it's a good mix.

[Cal]

It's great.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good stuff.

[Logan]

Who's Smokey?

[Tate Morgan]

Smokey. We wanted to make it sound like kind of like more treacherous, kind of like bite like a. Intimidate litter bugs instead of the Sons of Smokey. Like you know, but you know, at the end of the day we're. Yeah, just.

[Giannis Brody]

Sons of Anarchy was taken.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah, there'll play on that. And the Sons, you know, Son of Smokey the Bear. The Smoky Mountains, just.

[Logan]

Okay. Yeah, I like it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tate, welcome to the show. Now 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 mediator will donate 500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now Tate, what are your strengths and weaknesses in trivia that's about hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking?

[Tate Morgan]

I'm a. Yeah. Jack of all trades. But yeah, I'm a deer and elk hunter, you know, big public land guy out here up in Oregon. So I usually, you know, bring home at least, you know, one of the two. So. And I'm. I'm an audit, you guys. This content. So, you know. All right, I know I know some stuff, but I probably know.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right. For the housekeeping section, Phil and Randall did bar trivia last night. What was the result?

[Randall]

Well, it's kind of an interesting evening.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, okay. Wow.

[Randall]

Yeah. Thank you, Phil.

[Cal]

Thank you.

[Randall]

So we, we, we decided at the very last minute to play trivia at a local watering hole at 6pm and at 6:05 it was plain to us that trivia was not in fact happening.

[Phil]

Despite it being advertised on there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Were you the only ones waiting?

[Randall]

So in any event, it was. It was Phil, myself and our lovely wives and we, we deliberated on whether or not we could stay out long enough to go to an eight o' clock trivia game at another watering hole. Four rounds. Great trivia. Really phenomenal questions. We were playing against a table of some 10 odd players.

[Logan]

Hold on, hold on. So you did make it to the 8:00pm we did, yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Migrated called an audible.

[Randall]

Yeah, we played. We played against a table of some 10 people.

[Spencer Newarth]

Against the rules.

[Randall]

Right Neck. And they don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

They don't limit that, what they do morally. It's against.

[Randall]

Yeah. And there was a moment in time during the second round, which. Which was very difficult, and a gentleman came out of the restroom and stood over our table like belly to our answer sheet and glanced at the answer sheet, glanced at the tv, and I just thought, well, maybe this is some hapless fool who's bumbling about the world without any sense of how people perceive his actions, and I'll just let him go on his merry way without saying anything. And then he, in fact, was a member of that big team.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, my goodness.

[Randall]

And so he hovered over our answer sheet until Sydney told me later that she gave him like a glare and that's when he actually left our table and he went and sat down right next to him.

[Phil]

So it turns out they were our closest rivals. We were neck and neck through the whole game.

[Randall]

But we saved our. You can double your best round. And we saved our double star until the very end.

[Spencer Newarth]

What category?

[Randall]

Biopics or biopics. And we. We did a clean, clean sweep there. Oh, my 40 points. We didn't even use the mulligan that we could have used at any. And one of the four rounds.

[Spencer Newarth]

So dominant.

[Randall]

It felt really good, actually. It was challenging and. And you know, it's not at all fun if you don't win.

[Phil]

Yeah, especially. Especially since we weren't. We almost. We almost didn't go because we were a bunch of.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Early birds.

[Randall]

And then I'd just like to. We. We won. We won a 50 bar tab.

[Logan]

Oh. A little show and tell.

[Randall]

And we'd already settled our bar tab. So.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

I went to the. I went to the bar and I said, hey, can we just have like as many unopened beers as you can get. 50 bucks. They're ice cold.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

They're ice cold. So if anybody would like one. Phil, you want to pop?

[Phil]

Oh, please.

[Cal]

I am so glad I didn't make fun of that story.

[Randall]

Sydney and I. Yes, Sydney and I walked out of Molly Brown's last night with an armful of beers. And what a great day because they make you use the tab the night that you win. And so I was about to call the store boys and just say, you guys want to come? Because we had had enough. You know, it was 10pm Past our bedtime. And I almost called the store boys and said, you guys want to. Guys want to chew up a $50 tab here at Molly Brown. But they were kind enough to give us some road beers.

[Spencer Newarth]

So kind.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good on you.

[Randall]

So, cheers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Congratulations. Well done, Randall. Well done. How many questions did you get wrong?

[Randall]

The first round we got one question wrong. The second round we got three wrong. Oh, the third round was a weird.

[Phil]

One because it was like a mix. It was a big pool of points you can get anybody else. We finished with a 92 out of 100. And the second place team had 90.

[Randall]

Yeah. The third round, you had to match decades to events without and they didn't repeat. So it was like if you got one wrong, you got two wrong. But then you could get bonus points by naming the exact date. That's when we really made up some ground. And congratulations in the final round. I mean, it was a storybook finish.

[Phil]

Randall's not having it.

[Giannis Brody]

The only thing that made it better, Randall, is if you and Phil would have gotten a bar fight with your rival team.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Logan]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nearly like you were close.

[Randall]

Nearly came to blows had we not pulled it out in the end.

[Spencer Newarth]

Does it give you some confidence it's then coming into trivia?

[Randall]

No, not at all. No, not at all.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

I. Yeah, I saw a comment this morning that said, Ben, Randall's been just sucking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Randall]

But it did. I do have a little extra pep in my step today. Although Spencer was tell.

[Logan]

Spencer was telling us that on trivia days you actually have a hard time accomplishing your other work.

[Giannis Brody]

[Logan]

[Randall]

Not really. I mean, I.

[Cal]

They have 40 million specimens and artifacts in their collection and are known for their library of 275,000 books on the subjects of biology, ecology, geology and archaeology.

As the name suggests, dogs are most at risk when they're around a lot of other dogs at kennels, shelters and daycares. Classic symptoms include runny nose, sneezing, and frequent coughing that's been described as honking and gagging. Typically, dogs fully recover within a week. Who has experience with kennel cough in here?

[Randall]

And I didn't get it right.

[Spencer Newarth]

And you didn't get it right. How bad was it, Brody, when kennel cough wasn't bad?

[Giannis Brody]

A lot of noise.

[Cal]

If you're around a dog who gets it bad. I mean, it sounds horrible.

[Giannis Brody]

Yeah, it sounds horrible.

[Cal]

Real bad.

[Randall]

Yeah. The worst part about it was when Rosie got kennel cough. We were living in a camper, so you couldn't get away from the noise.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did you have your whole pack at that time?

[Randall]

Just. Just two.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. But both of them get it?

[Randall]

No, just Rosie got it. I don't think Arlo got it, but yeah, he was. He was not a camper sized dog, so no. You know, can we double check if.

[Tate Morgan]

Canine corona is not also known.

[Spencer Newarth]

Kennel car. Question 3. The topic is conservation. This next great question is via Tim Finnegan. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. Our room is stumped. Question 3. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. The topic is conservation. We have seven blank whiteboards in the room. Brody and Randall now coming up with an answer.

[Randall]

I thought this was the one place where I'd be safe from any discussion of AI which seems to have permeated all. All discourse.

[Spencer Newarth]

Jeez. The top. Conservation. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison.

[Cal]

So are you suggesting that the AI is the thing that saved these species? Because these species woods bison specifically, like they would have been long dead.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's been a. It's been a tool that helped save these imperiled species. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. Does anyone like their answer?

[Logan]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Yanni does. I do the only I do player.

[Logan]

I like mine.

[Randall]

Okay, if this AI is a Labrador retriever, do you need a dog? Do you need a black Labrador?

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm not going to give give any further hints. Everything you need is right there.

[Logan]

I know for a fact that this type of AI has been used to save the white rhino. So, okay, if. If this is wrong, we're gonna take last night's never happen bar fight and make it happen.

[Cal]

Okay, so you have to name the AI.

[Spencer Newarth]

This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species.

[Cal]

I mean, this isn't a.

[Spencer Newarth]

Such as white rhinos Is so proud of himself.

[Randall]

Phyllis is a problematic question.

[Phil]

I'm not saying.

[Randall]

How's that? How's that brew dog?

[Phil]

Oh, ice cold and refreshing, thank you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis Very satisfied though. Good. Big smile and a lot of giggling over there. Oh, yeah. This type of AI has been used to save imperiled species such as white rhinos and wood bison. Do our other players give up?

[Cal]

I am officially giving up. I'm looking at Brodies.

[Alyssa]

Is this like a type of AI or a company?

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate without an answer. Giannis says artificial insemination. Randall says genetic modeling. Logan generative AI. Alyssa Chat GPT. Cal Chat GPT. Brody without an answer. Giannis. Got it. The correct answer is artificial insemination AI.

[Randall]

I would have added quotation marks.

[Giannis Brody]

That's a dirty.

[Spencer Newarth]

Dirty artificial Insemination has been used on everything from pandas to killer whales to black footed ferrets. The first animal was a wolf in 1973. Besides increasing populations, it's a tool to help create more genetic diversity.

[Giannis Brody]

You know, done that to a dairy cow before.

[Spencer Newarth]

I have.

[Logan]

Well, where did you get that opportunity?

[Giannis Brody]

My buddy. Buddy's uncle ran a dairy farm that he hunted on. And one day, it's like having a.

[Cal]

Couple chops at the end of the day, elbow deep.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's right. I worked on a farm cow. We'd preg check the cows and they would call it AI they didn't say artificial. They ain't got time for that.

[Randall]

I would use quotation marks.

[Spencer Newarth]

This type of AI that's brutal.

[Cal]

Good job, Giannis.

[Randall]

Good job.

[Spencer Newarth]

And as Giannis was saying, the white rhino, I believe it's the northern herd that cats got two left and they stuck one of those in a southern herd white rhino. So it may be what saves us.

[Cal]

They stuck one of those.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 4. The topic is wild.

[Logan]

I knew it was a dirty question, but I didn't want to say it.

[Phil]

Because I felt like that was going.

[Logan]

To do the tip.

[Cal]

Good job.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yep.

[Cal]

They just lubed up that northern white rhino. Damned her in there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Audubon calls this songbird the quote master mimic, thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls. Again, this is question four. Audubon calls this songbird the master mimic thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls.

[Tate Morgan]

I'm gonna invite you guys on my trivia show next.

[Giannis Brody]

I think that's the first time that you've legitimately pulled a dirty trick on us.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a type of AI did you think that we would all say no? I thought half of you would get it. I thought you would have. I thought you'd have the honest reaction where you'd giggle.

[Logan]

It was for sure that question.

[Randall]

If that were a. A crossword clue published in the New York Times, it would have had quotation marks around it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, they. They might steal this from us and we'll see what happens.

[Logan]

Audubon Tay, we would love to join your trivia show.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Master Mimic, thanks to its ability to imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls.

[Cal]

I ran around and talked to a bunch of people at the Gambler, and, you know, I'd be like, oh, cool car, tell me about it. And then they'd really start telling me about it and I was just like, oh, knew nothing, nothing about what's going on.

[Logan]

It's like listening To Spencer and Randall talk NBA, right?

[Cal]

Exactly. Yeah. Just kind of got a nod and wait for it to finish.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying mockingbird. Giannis says Stellar's J. Randall, Parakeet, Logan, Mockingbird. Alyssa, Mockingbird. Cal Mocking Jay, Brody, Mockingbird. The correct answer is the mockingbird. What do you think we do about Cal? He did. The fictitious drum jays are a type of bird in the Hunger Games. That is a mocking. The mockingjay is not. That's a Hunger Games bird.

[Cal]

Oh, because I watch a lot of Hunger Games.

[Spencer Newarth]

You got that answer from somewhere and it's not real life.

[Giannis Brody]

Is it a mockingbird in the J family?

[Randall]

It must have been AI'd into your brain somehow.

[Cal]

I know. Somebody lubed it up and shoved it in there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, the Google AI says no. A mockingbird and a Mockingjay are not the same thing. A mockingbird is a real bird, while a mockingjay is a human fictional hybrid bird from the Hunger Games.

[Cal]

Just. Just for argument's sake, Mockingjays are a.

[Spencer Newarth]

Result of a genetic cross between a mockingbird and a jabber jay mocking.

[Cal]

You would have taken it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, you didn't.

[Cal]

But I just want the audience to know at home this would have been an acceptable answer.

[Logan]

They should also know that the Stellar's Jake also has a whole bunch of different.

[Spencer Newarth]

They're not the master mimic and they don't imitate hundreds of bird songs and calls. I think specifically it's hundreds.

[Giannis Brody]

The book wasn't called To Kill a Mocking J Cow.

[Cal]

No, it wasn't.

[Spencer Newarth]

It wasn't. The northern mockingbird is the state bird of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and formerly South Carolina. It's thought they mimic other birds to claim territory and attract mates. Studies have found that they most often imitate cardinals, bluebirds and wrens, and never imitate doves or Sparrows. Question 5. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Dustin Fair for sending this great question. Dustin 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@the mediator.com. this brand says they, quote, sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 flasher in 1989. This brand says they sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 flasher in 1989. We have a stumped room again. Giannis, do you have this one right?

[Logan]

I know the name of one company.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Logan]

That Makes these flashers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay?

[Logan]

And I've written it down.

[Spencer Newarth]

This brand says they started the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction flasher in 1989.

[Tate Morgan]

I only know one fishing brand, so it's pretty easy.

[Randall]

Here we go.

[Logan]

Go with your gut.

[Spencer Newarth]

Cal, do you have this one right?

[Cal]

No, I mean it. It's kind of the same way Tate.

[Spencer Newarth]

Picked this brand since they sparked the modern ice fishing revolution with the introduction of the FL8 flasher in 1989. This is question five. So we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Brody, how you doing over here?

[Giannis Brody]

Not good. I'm just trying to, like, picture a flasher in my head, like, not working out. Like, no words.

[Spencer Newarth]

You don't think you owned one of these?

[Giannis Brody]

No, I've never had a flasher. I just use, like, a fish finder slat that also has a flasher on the screen.

[Cal]

Do you think you would be more successful if you showed up at 8:30 in the morning and sat in your vehicle drinking coffee and just really thought about it until game time?

[Giannis Brody]

Maybe. Might come to me listening to Dr. Wayne. It smells like someone's been drinking coffee all day in here.

[Cal]

There you go.

[Spencer Newarth]

There's lights right now.

[Cal]

It'll pick me up.

[Spencer Newarth]

If I show up in the studio right after someone else got done recording, the microphone will often smell like coffee. So that happened again today. Brody, I have an answer. Okay. Randall, do you give up?

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal. What's that say? Tate?

[Tate Morgan]

Popial.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis says Vexilar. Randall without an answer. Logan says Garmin. Alyssa without an answer. Cal says hummingbird. Brody says low rinse. The correct answer is Vexilar.

[Cal]

Yeah. Good job.

[Spencer Newarth]

The three color FL8 took the market by storm with its rechargeable battery and unique carrying case. They say this was the first sonar system that directly targeted ice fishermen. It also gave birth to the next generation of Vexilar flashers such as the FL18 and FL8 SLT.

[Cal]

We could only get two colors up here in Montana.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update. Halfway through the game, everyone's on the.

[Phil]

Board, but at halftime, no one is in line with the Shelby index. We've got Tate with one point, and then Randall, Logan, Alyssa and Cal all have two points a piece. And tied up in first place are Giannis Patellis and Brody Henderson with three points.

[Alyssa]

I've never done this.

[Randall]

You should check out Molly Brown trivia.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

They run a. They run a tight ship there. It's good.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's good.

[Cal]

I don't like all the math you guys were coming up like bonus points and worth double and.

[Randall]

It's not that hard.

[Cal]

Terrible.

[Randall]

It's not that hard.

[Cal]

Sounds easy to grasp.

[Giannis Brody]

Not that hard.

[Tate Morgan]

I still want you to use that artificial inseminator machine to tell me if canine corona and kennel cough are the same thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, I will google that after this next question.

[Unknown]

What's hibernation and why do some mammals hibernate? When animals vocalize, what are they saying and what does it mean? Which critter has sharp projections inside their mouths which aren't teeth that hold prey? Meteor kids is back for season three. We're gonna learn a bunch of neat things about nature and wildlife that you can tell your friends, your school and your parents about. We're gonna give you the hard hitting answers kids for why things are the way they are. Hyperphagia. Man, that's a big word. And you better get ready for guess that, critter.

[Cal]

This noise is often made by a.

[Spencer Newarth]

Female when she is watching the young and asking her mate to come back soon with food.

[Unknown]

And for our play along kids trivia.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is seven. Everybody got that one right?

[Unknown]

Search meat eater Kids. Hit that follow button. Now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question six. The topic is woodsmanship. The Blank field guides which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934. The Blank Field guides which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934.

[Giannis Brody]

Man, it jumped into my head, but now I'm second guessing myself.

[Alyssa]

That was happening in the last question and Spencer kept repeating the question. It was like, God damn it, just stop talking. Maybe it'll come to me.

[Giannis Brody]

I'm gonna leave it. I think I got a handful of these things on the bookshelf at home.

[Logan]

I know, but I also have the other ones right. Which one is older?

[Spencer Newarth]

The Blank field guides which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934. It does not look like canine corona is the same as kennel cough.

[Tate Morgan]

Right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Does anyone feel good about their answer for this one?

[Logan]

I feel good, but I. Yeah, but I feel like.

[Randall]

Do we get an index on this bad boy?

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a four, so.

[Cal]

God, I cannot.

[Spencer Newarth]

Some of you may lose to Shelby this week. The blank field guides which help laymen identify birds, insects, plants and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934.

[Tate Morgan]

Could definitely use when I am a layman.

[Giannis Brody]

You know, Spencer, I was wondering earlier if you're ever gonna get big enough to get yourself a real time fact checker. So you don't have to do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I wish I had one. That would be convenient. Do you think some of these are wrong or what?

[Cal]

Oh, I just don't think you care that much.

[Spencer Newarth]

I care too much. I work myself into a pretzel sometimes. The Blank field Guides, which help layman identify birds, insects, plants and mushrooms, published their first book in 1934. A lot of folks reach out and ask how to get into foraging, mushroom or rock hounding. These field guides are a great way to start.

[Logan]

Oh, yeah, I have two answers and I don't know which one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Do you have one picked, Yanis?

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[Tate Morgan]

I know I'm wrong.

[Spencer Newarth]

We have Tate saying farmers. Giannis says Sibley, you don't have an answer without an answer. Logan says mycologist. Alyssa says blue. Cal without an answer. And Brody says Peterson's.

[Logan]

Nobody had my other answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

So what was your other answer?

[Logan]

Audubon.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is Peterson. Brody got that one right. The first book was the Field Guide to Birds, which has been followed up by 50 more books since then. Some volumes cover niche subjects, such as a field guide to Eastern butterflies, while others are broad, such as A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets. These books can be a great time capsule with a field guide to freshwater fish, adding 114Pre previously unrecognized species. Between the first and second edition, the.

[Randall]

Only thing I could think of was Audubon. And based on the last question referencing Audubon, I didn't think that was a.

[Spencer Newarth]

Worthwhile answer to write down The Peterson Field Guide.

[Randall]

Four in a row for old Randy.

[Cal]

Oh, boy.

[Giannis Brody]

But last night was fun, wasn't it?

[Randall]

Random. I'm still enjoying it, actually.

[Unknown]

Sip by sip.

[Logan]

The highs and lows of a trivia man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is. Is the Peterson Field Guide what you have at home, bro?

[Giannis Brody]

We have some of them, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

For what topic?

[Giannis Brody]

We have birds.

[Spencer Newarth]

We.

[Giannis Brody]

I think we have a fish one. Like a saltwater fish one, maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good books. Question seven. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Michael Fletcher. This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. And foul is F O W L for the folks who are listening instead of watching.

[Alyssa]

Oh, so now you put quotation marks.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. Now, if I had quotation marks on AI, I don't know that it would have helped any of you. Randall, do you think that you would have been like, oh, it's artificial?

[Randall]

Because I would have known that it wasn't a. I wouldn't known that. You're not looking for a type of artificial intelligence.

[Cal]

But he's a crosswords man.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is the world.

[Giannis Brody]

Also a doctor.

[Randall]

Well, it fooled all of us, so don't. Randall.

[Cal]

No, what I'm. I'm saying that. That being in quotation marks doesn't mean the same thing to somebody who's not a crosswords person.

[Randall]

Well, anything in quotation marks, it's practically saying, like, so called AI it's to imply that it's not actually what you're.

[Cal]

Talking about to somebody who's in the system.

[Randall]

I think anybody. Like if I wrote in a text to you, Spencer's a real expert trivia host that I put expert in quotation marks, you'd understand the implication I would have been having.

[Cal]

I would have been like somebody once called Spencer an expert. That's a quote.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Giannis Brody]

Real.

[Spencer Newarth]

Real Einstein. All right. This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a fouled name.

[Phil]

Speaking of being lubed up and elbow deep, I watched my stepdad get one of these in the San Juan Islands, and he was fighting it for about 30 minutes.

[Randall]

No regional hints, Philip?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, yeah, since Phil has said it. Now, Tate being from Oregon, this is basically a bone throwing.

[Cal]

Was Phil the guy who came out of the bathroom in your story?

[Randall]

No.

[Cal]

Hovered over an answer sheet.

[Randall]

Phil did come out of the bathroom a lot.

[Cal]

Whoa.

[Phil]

I've got a tiny bladder.

[Randall]

Yeah, it's a problem.

[Alyssa]

No problem.

[Randall]

I didn't want to bring that up.

[Cal]

Performance. Get a laugh.

[Randall]

Thought I get a laugh.

[Spencer Newarth]

The camera, Phil, the camera.

[Phil]

It actually. Oh, yeah. Hold on.

[Spencer Newarth]

We've got a lot of problems here again.

[Tate Morgan]

Can I use phonetic spelling on this or is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Are we a stler on that? What? Spelling does not count unless you put J.

[Logan]

Is that hint?

[Spencer Newarth]

This is the world's largest burrowing clam, which has a foul name. F, O, W, L. I just watched something on this.

[Cal]

Cannot remember the name.

[Spencer Newarth]

You got a lot of confident players, but not Yanni this time, who I think is leading.

[Logan]

No, I think Brody's leading.

[Cal]

He's got a. He's got a lead.

[Randall]

Yeah, Brody has a one point lead.

[Cal]

Oh, really?

[Randall]

Y.

[Logan]

With the Peterson's Field guys.

[Cal]

I do. Yes. It's really simple.

[Randall]

But Brody's doing a lot of erasing, too.

[Giannis Brody]

Well, I figured there's no reason to complicate things. Okay, I'll explain later.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying gooey duck. Giannis duck. Randall, gooey duck. Logan, foul clam. Alyssa, clucker, Cal and Brody saying gooey duck. That's the correct answer. Gooey duck. And it's spelled G E duck. G E O, D, C, K. I.

[Randall]

Got both the phonetic.

[Spencer Newarth]

Had it right.

[Randall]

Yeah, that's great.

[Spencer Newarth]

Pronounced.

[Giannis Brody]

I'll point out that Cal said goey duck.

[Spencer Newarth]

These animals are also known as elephant clams and king clams. They can weigh several pounds and live for 150 years. They cost about $30 per pound and are said to taste slightly sweet and briny. Gooey ducks are often eaten raw as sashimi or ceviche or cooked in a stir fry or hot pot. Who's eating gooey ducks?

[Cal]

You go after those things.

[Tate Morgan]

No, never have. I think I have steamers and got. What? I don't. Yeah, we claim a little bit. Not gooey ducks though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall thinks he's eaten.

[Randall]

Yeah, I mean duck. Sydney's from the Pacific Northwest. She's a big fan of clams and other shellfish.

[Spencer Newarth]

How was that Gooey duck? Maybe cooked.

[Randall]

I don't remember.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Cal]

Way back when I was working in that part of the country, I. I call them geoducks. And that's a good way to get yourself ostracized in a bar.

[Randall]

Yeah, the only reason. The only reason I remember is because it was used in front of me and I had no idea what it was like. I was 26 years old as an Ohio man and I just had never heard of a geoduck.

[Logan]

I feel like this is a strong case for a half point, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a zero point answer. Question eight. The topic is conservation. These treaties which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam.

[Logan]

Well, here's a bone for the old history.

[Spencer Newarth]

Doctor.

[Randall]

I was about to point out earlier that we. We haven't gotten any good history questions in a while.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, well, this is a conservation question. Technically, these treaties which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam. Also, the first question day was about a natural history museum.

[Randall]

Yeah, that's not history though.

[Spencer Newarth]

The best history.

[Randall]

I like that question though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, okay.

[Randall]

I like it better.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you like this one?

[Randall]

Questions about flashers? Actually, there's someone in the chat today on the. On the live stream, he said, randall, as soon as you answer a question about birds correctly, I'll become a randomal.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is that your weakness?

[Randall]

Well, clearly the mockingbird.

[Spencer Newarth]

These treaties which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy Another country's dam. This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. Randall, Very confident. Tate, do you have this one right?

[Tate Morgan]

I believe I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. How about you, Brody?

[Giannis Brody]

I think I got a chance.

[Spencer Newarth]

These treaties, which were signed in Switzerland in 1949, make it a war crime to destroy another country's dam. Is everybody ready? Giannis?

[Cal]

Sure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Geneva Conventions. Giannis says Paris. Randall. Geneva Convention. Logan. Geneva Treaties. Alyssa. Without an answer. Cal. Rosalie, Brody. Geneva Conventions. The correct answer is Geneva Conventions. We'll give it to you, Logan, for having Geneva. The Geneva Conventions are international laws that establish legal standards for humanitarian treatment in war. According to Article 56 of Additional Protocol 1, military militaries aren't allowed to attack dams and dikes if there's a chance they'll release dangerous forces onto civilians. The most deadly sing single act of war ever involved a levy that was destroyed on the Yellow river in China during World War II, which caused nearly a million people to die. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update with two questions to go.

[Cal]

Ah, that's bad.

[Randall]

Here we are.

[Logan]

Geez, I don't think I got a single question right since the last update.

[Phil]

I'm gonna cut right to the chase. Brody is ahead with six points, and in second place is Randall Williams with four. Brody's got a pretty solid shot, but we'll see if he chokes in the last.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody gets question 9 correct, he will have secured victory.

[Randall]

Do you have good ones there?

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 9. The topic is fishing.

[Randall]

Oh, classic textbook.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hardy and Fenwick were the first brands to use this eight letter material for fishing rods. Hardy and Fenwick were the first brands to use this eight letter material. Fishing rods. You need an extra marker. Found one. Again, this is question nine. If Brody gets this right, the game will be over.

[Cal]

That's too many letters.

[Logan]

It's too many letters. Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, do you have this one right?

[Giannis Brody]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hardy and Fenwick were the first brands to use this eight letter material for fishing rods. Giannis, you have this one, right?

[Logan]

I believe so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tough back half of the game.

[Logan]

Very, very tough. I said it before. I. I need, you know, the universe to align in your head and for those questions to be right up my alley, to pull out the dub.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, do you have this one right?

[Randall]

I do.

[Cal]

I am so embarrassed.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eight letter material, Geneva Convention.

[Randall]

I'd be more embarrassed by Spencer's pronunciation of Versailles.

[Cal]

That was embarrassing.

[Randall]

I get nervous.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nervous? I get nervous when I see whiteboards.

[Randall]

I mean, you could have at least gone. You could have at least gone with the Versailles, which is the.

[Cal]

I feel like, as far as treaties go, Versailles kind of a famous one.

[Giannis Brody]

Yeah, for sure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hardy and Paris were the first brands to use this eight letter material.

[Logan]

Alyssa, last minute change.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, eight letter word.

[Cal]

That's one way to go.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Logan?

[Alyssa]

It's not right, but yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying bamboo. Giannis says graphite. Randall, graphite. Logan Plastics. Alyssa, aluminum. Cal and Brody say graphite. They got it. The correct answer is. Is graphite. Hardy and Fenwick started making graphite fishing rods in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The early models cost as much as $150, which would be over $11,000 today. Graphite rods excel when it comes to being lightweight and sensitive, but are also some of the easiest to break. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was Chicago. Two, Kennel Cough. Three, Artificial Insemination. Four, Mockingbird. Five, Vexilar. Six, Peterson. Seven, Gooey Duck. Eight, Geneva Conventions. And nine, graphite. Brody has secured the victory. We'll see if he can get the Shelby Index with the tenth and final question. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ryan Luffy, who faxed me this question.

[Cal]

Nice facsimile.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sent me a fax.

[Giannis Brody]

Here or at your house? Because if you have a fax in.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your house, it's a fax that comes in via email.

[Cal]

Right?

[Spencer Newarth]

Which we've learned is an Amish way to communicate with the show.

[Giannis Brody]

Nice.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, what does PRC stand for when referring to 6.5PRC, 7PRC, and 300 PRC? Again, the topic is hunting. What does PRC stand for when referring to the 6.5 PRC, 7PRC, and three hundred PRC?

[Randall]

Now that's a question. Now that's a question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall's got some confidence. He's had a strong second half of the game, but couldn't quite catch up.

[Randall]

Let's add another round or two, huh?

[Spencer Newarth]

Huh?

[Randall]

He just got anywhere to go?

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, you have this one, right?

[Giannis Brody]

I'm like, I. In my head I do, but I could.

[Logan]

We got plenty of beers to do. Another round?

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, are we going to share the seventh and eighth ones that Randall brought with?

[Randall]

There's only one left.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. We could pass it around.

[Randall]

I tried to give it to Phil earlier surreptitiously, but he declined. So, anybody need a refill?

[Spencer Newarth]

What does PRC stand for when referring to the 6.5prc, 7prc, and 300prc? Do you own any of these guns, Randall?

[Randall]

I do. Not.

[Cal]

Not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

I do not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you know much about the PRC family?

[Randall]

Oh, I sure do.

[Cal]

Okay, Mrs. PRC. Wonderful people.

[Giannis Brody]

I like that. 65 PRC.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's a good.

[Randall]

Yeah, I'd love to get one of those.

[Alyssa]

I have one.

[Randall]

To the univers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Tate saying precision rifle cartridge. Giannis and Logan with the same answer. Alyssa says precision round caliber. Cal says pretty round. What's that say?

[Cal]

Cake case.

[Spencer Newarth]

Pretty round case. And Brody says precision rebated cartridge. The correct answer is the precision rifle cartridge. We had four of our players get that one right. Brody did not. But it doesn't matter.

[Randall]

Confusing that with the RPM.

[Cal]

RPM?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, that's. Hornady introduced the 6.5 PRC in 2017, 300 PRC in 2018, and 7 PRC in 2022. What these cartridges have in common are sharp shoulders and minimum body tapers. The PRC series was designed for long range shots at the range and in the field. Tell me more about the prc, Randall.

[Randall]

Well, I mean, they're. They're optimized to shoot the heavy for caliber projectiles that are so popular today among precision rifle shooters. Like the.300. PRC is really designed around the 225 ELDM. And yeah, I mean, you look at like a cartridge like the.300 win mag, the PRC's got a little more ass. But if you look at just sort of a factory. 300 win mag, it's not throated properly. And the barrel twist oftentimes isn't enough to get the real high heavy heavyweight projectiles spinning at a proper rate.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, an aspiring PRC owner.

[Randall]

Yeah, Wink.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Brody's our winner with seven correct answers. Brody, what are you gonna do with that 500 today?

[Giannis Brody]

I'm assuming you guys could use a few bucks.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah, always.

[Spencer Newarth]

Always.

[Logan]

Here we go.

[Tate Morgan]

We'd love it.

[Giannis Brody]

We put it smoky.

[Tate Morgan]

Get some tires and trash in the dumpsters.

[Giannis Brody]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thank you. I imagine getting rid of all that garbage is not cheap.

[Tate Morgan]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

How do you pull that off?

[Tate Morgan]

Well, we have a lot of good partners. The Bronco Wild Fund, via. You know, Ford Motor Company comes in and they give us a large chunk a year to do app development and then throw away trash that we've had one year with dollars to get rid of all the trash we collected.

[Spencer Newarth]

One week.

[Tate Morgan]

It was bonkers.

[Cal]

We participated in. In pulling this camper off a blm, and it had been totally stripped of. Of like scrap metal, Right? So no axles or wheels or anything. And. And the crew that we were with, they spent a bunch of time fabricating things specifically to get this thing off of public land. And there's just tons of trash associated with it. And there was this big effort and then it was $2500 to dispose of that thing at the dump. Damn.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah.

[Cal]

Yeah.

[Tate Morgan]

Most time we sit there and we tear them down ourselves. But in that case we didn't have it would have taken four hours to dismantle it. And camp, it was so big. It's like 35ft or something.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do folks ever find something that they want to take home? Like, I'm gonna fix up this rv.

[Logan]

Yeah, they're welcome.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's my camper.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Does it happen.

[Tate Morgan]

Here and there? Mostly car parts. Well, you've got a story to tell.

[Cal]

Well, yeah. When, when we were going out and scavenging, I needed a the bow tie emblem for my Chevy and lo and behold, perfect. Dig through enough stuff, that bow tie emblem pops right up. So I took that home.

[Spencer Newarth]

500 going to the sons of Smokey. Outdoor stewardship Tate. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for playing.
