[Spencer Newharth]

It'S a media podcast. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newharth and today we're joined by Randall, Corey, Nate and Roman. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there's a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now today is Randall V. Jabronis. That means it will be the big bad Randall up against Corey, Nate and Roman. Randall, how do you feel about your chances?

[Randall]

Oh, you know, I think, I think we've got some strong competitors on the other side of the table. I think it really just comes down to if the questions bounce my way or not. So I'm curious to see how you've gamed this out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, just a standard 10 pack of questions. Jabronis, do you think you can best Randall today?

[Nate]

Oh yeah, like I'm so supremely confident.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're never lacking confidence, Nate.

[Nate]

Nope, I've never been insulted in that way.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now the first time we did this, it was six Jabronis against Randall. They overwhelmed him with a two point victory. Y the second time we did this it was three jabronis against Brody. And Brody took a one point victory with a correct answer on question 10. On that day it was Nate, Corey and Tressa. So we've swapped out Tressa for Roman. Roman, what are you going to bring to the team today?

[Roman]

Oh gosh, let's go with like movies or music, something kind of cultural, none of that history.

[Randall]

Yeah, Roman's a real well rounded individual. Okay, so I, I, I'm curious to see what he adds to this mix.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have A trivia related question for our crew. Send it to trivia@the mediator.com with the subject line IFAQ. Joel Hill says. Hey, Spencer, are you worried about running out of trivia questions? I used to be, Joel. I, I used to be fearful that this would only last like a year. Then I started pushing the boundaries on what meat eater trivia could be and it would always make Brody and Steve angry. But I feel like I've, I've created a big enough universe now where I can do music and some history and, and movies that there are enough questions to get us a few more years. The other thing that gives me confidence that this show can, can go on for a while are the listeners because you guys send in like 10 to 20 questions each day and some of them are very good and, and they make it on the show. So I think we have a long Runway yet, Joel. But yes, I used to be worried when I thought every question had to have the answer of 30 odd 6 Springfield or largemouth bass. Everything needed to be hook and bullet. It felt like a different show, but we were not there anymore.

[Randall]

And it's caused no small amount of consternation.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now they've just accepted it. I think Brody will just quietly roll his eyes instead of outwardly be angry with me. All right, before we start, I want to reiterate how this will go. After I ask a question, Randall will write down his answer. Once Randall has his answer locked in, our Jabronis will get a chance to come together and think out loud. Then their captain will write down an answer. So Jabronis, we need you to decide who's the captain. Corey, Nate or Roman.

[Corey]

I'm voting with Roman.

[Nate]

I vote Roman.

[Spencer Newharth]

Roman. Okay. Last time we had Tressa as the captain, so they, they've got rid of their captain. Tressa. Cowards for Captain Roman. Instead. If you're playing along at home, consider ganging up on Randall with whoever you're listening with because we would just like him to lose today or just do.

[Randall]

It the normal way.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right.

[Corey]

I just hope everybody has a good time.

[Spencer Newharth]

The Shelby index is a 5, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Nate]

Just tend to win everything.

[Spencer Newharth]

Game on, suckers. Question 1. The topic is wildlife. This first great question is via Maverick Ball. And as always, it will be multiple choice.

[Nate]

Love that name.

[Spencer Newharth]

According to the Mountain lion foundation, which of these States does not have a breeding population of mountain lions. Is it Texas, Kansas, Florida, or North Dakota? According to the Mountain lion foundation, which of these states does not have a breeding population of mountain lions? Three of them do have a breeding population. One of them does not. Is it Texas, Kansas, Florida, or North Dakota?

[Nate]

Boy.

[Corey]

Good question, Mr. Maverick.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maverick Ball. Mr. Ball, Randall still has a blank whiteboard. He also has an entire side of the podcast table to himself. Do you like that, Randall, or do you like to be shoulder to shoulder with folks?

[Randall]

I like. I like having my own side.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very roomy over there. Yeah.

[Randall]

There's no danger in people looking over your shoulder. Gosh. This is a good question.

[Spencer Newharth]

Which of these states does not have a breeding population of mountain lions? Texas, Kansas, Florida, North Dakota.

[Nate]

I presume this is, like, not in captivity.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. It does not count if it's in a zoo. Randall, do you have your answer?

[Randall]

I do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Randall's answer is locked in. Corey, Nate, and Roman, you can think aloud about what the right answer might be.

[Nate]

I feel supremely confident that it's not Texas. I don't know why, but I do.

[Corey]

I feel pretty good that it's not Florida either.

[Nate]

Okay, let's take that off. But I think Florida's the sleeper one. Well, but it's never a trick question.

[Corey]

They have black panthers, which is.

[Nate]

That's what I'm thinking about.

[Corey]

Mountain lion, right?

[Nate]

I don't think so. I think it's just a cat.

[Corey]

No. Yeah, I think that's a myth.

[Roman]

I kind of lean towards North Dakota myself.

[Nate]

Oh.

[Corey]

See, I want to say Kansas, but because North Dakota has elk and lions love to eat elk, but that's not a good reason whatsoever.

[Nate]

They also love to eat deer.

[Corey]

Kansas is as flat as a pancake. And lions love mountains.

[Nate]

That's in the name cliffs.

[Corey]

So I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm very entertained by all of this.

[Randall]

That's good banter.

[Nate]

I'm on Team Cory. I feel like you could override us.

[Corey]

Yeah, you are, Cap.

[Spencer Newharth]

Cowards.

[Phil]

Roman, they only made you the captain so they could throw you under the bus.

[Nate]

Why do you think trust is not here?

[Spencer Newharth]

We mutinied.

[Roman]

Oh, I want to start this. Strong jets.

[Spencer Newharth]

So we have Corey saying it's what I believe.

[Corey]

It's Kansas.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Nate.

[Nate]

I'm with him. I'm with him.

[Spencer Newharth]

Roman, what do you think it is, Roman?

[Roman]

You see, I'm trying to leverage my job and the weird stuff, people.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Roman reads every email that you guys send him. So when you send him a trail cam photo of a little Baby mountain lion cub. He knows right where that came from.

[Roman]

I feel like of these states I've gotten the coolest cat photos from Texas.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Roman]

But I. I'll go with my team.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jabronis, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabronis saying Kansas and Randall says Kansas.

[Corey]

Hot dog.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is Kansas. Let's show nice guys did well. According to the Mountain Lion Foundation, 16 states have breeding populations of cougars. Earlier this year, officials in Oklahoma confirmed that mountain lion cubs were spotted in Osage County. So they are now state 17, Kansas. This has had over 100 confirmed sightings since 2007, but says they have no evidence that the big cats are breeding there.

[Randall]

H. Fascinating.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question two. The topic is wildlife. This nine letter word is defined as, quote, a bird that is ready to leave the nest but not yet capable of fully flying. We have Randall, Corey and Nate and Roman all writing down an answer. Randall, do you have your nine letter word?

[Randall]

I think so.

[Spencer Newharth]

This nine letter word is defined as a bird that is ready to leave the nest but not yet capable of flying. Okay, Randall has his answer locked in. Jabronis. What do you think it is?

[Randall]

See, now we're telling jokes over there and Phil's in on it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I love being a part of the crew. Randall's answer is locked in. So tell us what you're thinking here. Jabronis.

[Nate]

We're on the same page.

[Corey]

We're just thinking of telling you the answer.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's the Star wars answer?

[Nate]

Well, one of us might have written down younglings.

[Corey]

Not to be confused with the Yingling beer, which.

[First Light Advertiser]

That's a good beer.

[Corey]

It is.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is everybody ready?

[Randall]

I know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabronis saying fledgling and Randall says hatchling.

[Nate]

Oh, come on.

[Randall]

What?

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is fledgling. Let's go. Our jabronis.

[Nate]

That's what I'm talking. Randall, he's so off his game.

[Spencer Newharth]

A fledgling is one step beyond a nestling, which is a bird that's too young to leave the nest. A fledgling is usually capable of walking, hopping and brief flight. This stage varies by species, but for most songbirds it occurs around three weeks of age and lasts for about 10 days.

[Nate]

My dog was chasing a bunch of ducks around in a lake last week that couldn't really fly, but they could kind of fly.

[Spencer Newharth]

That sounds like a fledgling to me.

[Nate]

Does that count?

[Spencer Newharth]

Now? Hatchling, I think, would be even younger than that. That would, I think, be in the same category. Clear as a nest just after the hatching. Right.

[Corey]

How did Chip do. Did he get one?

[Nate]

No, but, dude, he's so fun. He'll just go swim. Like, he'll just go in the water and just swim for an hour. No, no direction. Just swimming.

[Corey]

He's a good boy.

[Spencer Newharth]

I hear these terms thrown around in business a little bit. So, Nate, working at FHF on the sewing machine, are you a nestling, a fledgling? Are you just like a full adult?

[Nate]

I would ask Randall that question today.

[Spencer Newharth]

Why is that?

[Nate]

Because I've sewed him up a super sweet little deal.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall]

Getting some custom work done.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is Nate over here. Is he a nestling who's just like a little baby bird, or is he a fledgling?

[Randall]

I think Paul's letting kind of come stretch his wings.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Nate]

Not out of the nest yet.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can't quite fly, so Paul's still feeding.

[Randall]

Him by vomiting into his mouth. But. But I think he's doing pretty good.

[Nate]

He did help me a lot.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, good. Question three. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Brandon Heatbridge.

[Nate]

Lots of good names.

[Spencer Newharth]

This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing club.

[Nate]

This is you, Roman. This is why you're here.

[Roman]

I was hoping you were the sports guy of our cruise, the Ducks.

[Randall]

This seems pretty special.

[Spencer Newharth]

This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing club.

[Nate]

Trying to think of all the Chargers.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall, do you have your answer locked in?

[First Light Advertiser]

I do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. This guy was an Oregon Duck and a Charger.

[Nate]

One of the Bosa brothers, both Boses went to Ohio State, so it's not him. Who's there?

[Randall]

The Ohio State.

[Nate]

Oh, my gosh, Bronies.

[Spencer Newharth]

It seems like Randall has this one right.

[Corey]

Who's there?

[Nate]

Who's their quarterback? He didn't go to Oregon. Justin Herbert. He didn't go to Oregon, did he? He looks like a duck hunter, though. He looks like. Dude, it'd be fun to hang out with.

[Spencer Newharth]

Corey, do you follow the NFL a little? Roman, do you follow the NFL?

[Nate]

Eckler isn't on there.

[Roman]

Who's up? To me, I'd go with the most standard American name.

[Nate]

Dude, I bet he's, like, a lineman. I don't know any of the. I don't know any of the lines.

[Spencer Newharth]

This former Oregon duck and current Los Angeles Charger was the president of his high school fishing club.

[Nate]

Mark.

[Corey]

Was it Marcus? Mario.

[Nate]

He's not on the Chargers anymore. He's. I don't think he's even playing anymore.

[Corey]

Well, he was a Duck, though, right?

[Nate]

Yeah, he was. He's good. Sports ball. Hey, you got duck on your shirt.

[Corey]

Oh, quack.

[Randall]

Now they're just ridiculing the idea of sports chargers as they. As they flop about.

[First Light Advertiser]

Sports ball, Sports ball.

[Nate]

I love the NFL. I'm so excited for the season.

[Randall]

So am I.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we're going to need you to come.

[Nate]

Like, Justin Herbert's like, the only charger I can think of, and I don't think he went to. Yeah.

[Corey]

Herbert.

[Spencer Newharth]

Captain Roman is writing down their answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabronis and Randall saying Justin Herbert. They got it. Let's go. The correct answer is Justin Herbert.

[Nate]

He does look like a duck hunter. Or what is he, a fisher?

[Spencer Newharth]

Fisherman. Herbert co founded the Irish fishing club in 2014, and it got so popular that it grew to 80 members in the first year. The club is still around today, serving high schoolers in Eugene, Oregon and beyond. Here is a picture of Herbert as a teen proudly holding a carp.

[Randall]

Yeah, you're right. You're right, Nate. He does look like he'd be fun to hang out with.

[Nate]

Yeah, I had him on my fantasy team two years ago. He was three years ago. Had a great year. Got him, Phil.

[Corey]

Got him.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good on you, Nate, for figuring out who that organ duck. Nice in Los Angeles was.

[Randall]

Cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question for the topic is conservation. The National Park Service says this program is quote unquote, a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park. Randall very quick to come up with his answer. Randall, is your answer locked in?

[Randall]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Randall's answer is locked in. That means it is up to our jabronis. The National Park Service says this program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.

[Nate]

Is it like a boy scouts thing or little smokies?

[Randall]

That's a.

[Nate]

You have kids.

[Randall]

That's a small sausage.

[Nate]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Corey]

We avoid the national parks, though.

[Randall]

Oh, come on. Talking like Steve there.

[Spencer Newharth]

The National Park Service. This program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.

[Nate]

They're like little rangers. Oh, wait, what's that little, like Ranger Rick? The little, like, cute like you have to find a. There's like a scavenger hunt in parks. You know what I'm talking about? No.

[Corey]

Pokemon go.

[Nate]

I thought about that.

[Spencer Newharth]

The National Park Service says this program is a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park.

[Corey]

It's obviously very easy. Randall wrote it down.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Where did he know that I got.

[Randall]

The other one easily, too?

[Nate]

I'm telling you, it's like the little QR Code deal. Or like, it's like a scavenger hunt.

[Randall]

Yeah, write down QR Code.

[Nate]

Pokemon Go was an answer, dude.

[Corey]

Oh, it's like Little Rangers or little.

[Nate]

Dude scavenger hunts as far as I'm getting. Oh, get Marshall in here. He'd know.

[Corey]

Yeah, he would know, because his dad.

[Spencer Newharth]

Doesn'T take him to the parks, though.

[Corey]

I've been to some national monuments, though. I feel like maybe we've done this. But what the heck is it called? Little. I think, like, Little Rangers is all I could come up with.

[Roman]

That's better than nothing.

[Nate]

Yeah, sure we don't want to go.

[Randall]

QR Code or Power Power Rangers?

[Corey]

Little Rangers, Young Rangers, Youth Rangers.

[Roman]

Yeah, it's got the why not?

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, reveal your answers. We have Jabroni saying Little Rangers. Randall says Junior Rangers. Randall.

[Nate]

Got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's it. The correct answer. The Junior Ranger program. Examples of activities from the Junior Ranger program include writing a poem about a fossil lear, learning indigenous names for plants, or doing an animal themed crossword. Upon completing a task, you're awarded with a Junior Ranger badge. There's no age limit on the program, of which there are 200 participating locations in the park service. So, Nate, you danced around the answer. You had all the details, but you didn't have Junior Ranger.

[Nate]

Dang.

[Spencer Newharth]

You could participate though, Nate. They let any age group come in and do it.

[Randall]

I mean, it sounds like you've got a couple of badges down.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, I wish I did.

[Randall]

You haven't written a poem about a fossil?

[Spencer Newharth]

No, I. I wish I would have been participating in this as a kid, though. I would love to have, like, 100 Junior Ranger programs.

[Nate]

Wait, so each park has a different badge?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes. Oh, oh, and I, I. Some parks may have multiple badges. Don't quote me on that. But they're. They're very popular. National monuments have them as well. National historic sites. Randall, do you have any Junior Ranger badges? Nope.

[Nate]

Answer that really quickly.

[Randall]

I just. I just knew. Knew of this program just through general encounters with the world around me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 5. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Jason Moats. This gun maker who's famous for lever actions uses the slogan quote, made in America or not made at all. Randall quick to answer, but now he is erasing. Nate wrote down an answer as well.

[Nate]

Ooh, I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

He and Corey might have to duke it out after Randall has locked in his answer.

[Nate]

Now. I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

This gun maker, who's famous for lever actions, uses the slogan made in America or not made at all. Randall, is your answer locked in? All right, jabronis, let's hear you argue.

[Corey]

Let's go with that.

[Nate]

No, dude, I'd like. I am a Barlowing for the listeners.

[Corey]

I put Henry.

[Spencer Newharth]

And we now have Nate and Corey arguing with each other that the other one's answer is right.

[Randall]

But Roman is the team captain.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Nate]

You might need to be the tiebreaker.

[Spencer Newharth]

Captain.

[Corey]

Oh, captain.

[Roman]

You guys both have older names than I was thinking.

[Corey]

What were you thinking?

[Roman]

Oh, I was thinking Remington.

[Nate]

For some reason, I don't think they're known for.

[Randall]

No, I would have gone with Winchester if we were talking about the old standards.

[Spencer Newharth]

This gun maker, who's famous for lever actions, uses the slogan made in America or not made at all. Nate thinks it's Marlin. Well, Corey thinks it's Henry, but they've convinced each other that those are wrong, and the other one has it right, so they're in a real pretzel here.

[Corey]

It is a pretzel.

[Nate]

That is a pretzel.

[Corey]

Yeah, I mean, I. Are either of these made in America anymore?

[Nate]

Well, Marlon just got bought by somebody in America. I think so. Dude, current event. I'm embarrassing myself.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall, what percent chance do you have this one right?

[Randall]

I don't know. 95.

[Spencer Newharth]

95 chance.

[Randall]

I feel pretty good.

[Nate]

I like Marlon better than Henry.

[Corey]

I do, too.

[Nate]

Okay. Are you?

[Roman]

Yeah. They both seem historical to me.

[Corey]

We need some cheese for this pretzel.

[Spencer Newharth]

Beer.

[Nate]

Cheese.

[Spencer Newharth]

Captain Roman writing down their answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Jabroni saying Marlin, Randall saying Henry. The correct answer is Henry Randall. Got it right.

[Randall]

Yep. Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

Despite the name, Henry Repeating arms is not affiliated with the original Henry rifle that was patented in 1860. The company was created in 1996 by founders who have no relation to Benjamin Tyler Henry. Today, they employ 800 people across three factories in Wisconsin and New Jersey. Randall, have you ever owned a Henry rifle?

[Randall]

No, I haven't. What tipped me off, though, was that they often do, like, commemorative releases that are patriotic. And also, I. I've owned marlins, and I've. I've paid attention to that brand more than I have to Henry. And. And I've never. I didn't think of this as a Marlin slogan.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good on you for finding the little.

[Randall]

More understated, I think.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

[Phil]

Well, once labeled flopping and flustered by his opponents at the top of the game, Randall has pulled ahead at halftime. He has four points. The Jabronis have.

[Randall]

Yeah, last question. I was kind of cool, calm and collected, right? Remember that?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, very cool.

[Randall]

And then these guys were arguing with each other.

[Spencer Newharth]

Six. The topic is Mountain Men. What 2000. What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie the Revenant based on. Again, we're on question six. What 2002 Michael punk book is the movie the Revenant based on? Randall, Is your answer locked in?

[Corey]

Pretty sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wait a minute. Okay.

[Nate]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Person has his whiteboard down, so it's up to our jabronis now.

[Nate]

I'm with.

[Roman]

You know the name.

[Spencer Newharth]

What it could be.

[Nate]

Oh, Hugh Glass.

[Corey]

It's not called the Revenant. Obviously not.

[Spencer Newharth]

What 2002 Michael Punk book is the movie the Revenant based on?

[Randall]

I'm trying to think of the Michael punk book about the Butte mine disaster. That's a good one. Ridgeline?

[Spencer Newharth]

No, Ridgeline was about the Fetterman. The Butte Mine disaster. What is it called? Did you see he's got a big banner on Main street this week? Oh, no.

[Phil]

He's the convocation speaker at MSU and.

[Spencer Newharth]

They'Re supposed to read the Butte Mining disaster book for that event.

[Randall]

Yeah, that was. That was one of the required readings in the intro Montana history class at.

[Spencer Newharth]

U of M. Again, we're on question six. The topic is Mountain Men. What 2002 Michael punk book is the movie the Revenant?

[Nate]

Is that Daunting Courage?

[Corey]

No, that's Lewis and Clark. God.

[Randall]

Well, it's Stephen Ambrose.

[Corey]

I read this last archery season, which was very freaky while I'm sitting in a under a tarp in bear country. God, I swear, the COVID just Said the Revenant on it.

[Roman]

It's not like the tale or the adventure. The story.

[Nate]

No, no.

[Spencer Newharth]

Our Jabronis are losing confidence.

[Randall]

God, what is the name of that book?

[Nate]

This is all you. I don't know, dude. Sure.

[Roman]

Don't put it on me.

[Nate]

Only watch the movie.

[Corey]

The Revenge.

[Spencer Newharth]

Fire and Brimstone.

[Randall]

That's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

The North Butte mining disaster of 1917.

[Randall]

An incredible story. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you live in this part of the world and you like meat eater stuff, you're gonna like anything. Michael Punk.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Has written. All right, Jabronis. What do we got? Three blank whiteboards.

[Nate]

I got nothing.

[Corey]

I got nothing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Three stressed out fellas.

[Nate]

Just write whatever you want.

[Spencer Newharth]

Just write what? Write down whatever you want.

[Randall]

Undaunted Courage.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah.

[Nate]

Not undaunted. Brutal.

[Corey]

Junior Rangers.

[Randall]

Almost heroes.

[Spencer Newharth]

What'd you guys say? Little Rangers.

[Randall]

Little Rangers, power Rangers.

[Spencer Newharth]

What 2002 punk book is the movie the Revenant based on Jabronis.

[Roman]

Got nothing.

[Corey]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

No answer.

[Nate]

Just write down the Revenant. That can't hurt.

[Randall]

Just run it blank.

[Roman]

That can hurt.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall's trying to help you guys. Are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the Jabronis saying the Revenant and Randall saying the Revenant. That's correct. The book is called, you know what they said? The Reven Squirrels. So Corey knew it all along.

[Corey]

All right, quit doing that. Hey, stop it.

[Spencer Newharth]

The word revenant means, quote, one that returns after death or a long absence. Merriam Webster says it was one of their most searched words in 2016, which is a year after the movie was released. The film was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won the Oscar for best actor, best directing, and best cinematography.

[Corey]

Thanks for writing something down.

[Randall]

That's Leo's only Oscar.

[Nate]

Only one that would have been really.

[Spencer Newharth]

Only. Only ever. Only for, like, best.

[Phil]

You know, it's. It's his only win that.

[Randall]

That was a winning question in the last round of trivia at Molly Brown's.

[Corey]

That's right.

[Nate]

Was that the movie? They only use natural lighting. Is that a real thing?

[Spencer Newharth]

They did a lot of natural lighting. Like you watch, and you can really appreciate that. Yeah. They're not. Not a bunch of fakers.

[Nate]

And that horse scene was real, right? Like, he actually slept, eats.

[Spencer Newharth]

Like the heart?

[Nate]

No, he, like, drives a horse off a cliff and then guts it and sleeps in it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think the real. The realest part of that was he was biting into an organ, like, for the first time. What was the organ he ate? Heart. Is it a liver?

[Phil]

I Think liver sounds right, but I don't remember.

[Randall]

I don't recall. Yeah, biting into a liver would make you make a weird face.

[Corey]

I thought I heard the fact that he'd, like, entered a cavity of an animal. I'm pretty sure that was.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good thing Corey talked you guys into writing down the Revenant. Question 7, the topic is conservation.

[Corey]

I'm flustered.

[Spencer Newharth]

This river provides drinking water for 1 in 10Americans, including those in Phoenix and San Diego. Again, we're on question seven. The topic is conservation. Randall, is your answer locked in? Yes. Huh. This river provides drinking water for 1 in 10Americans, including those in Phoenix and San Diego. Jabronis. What are you thinking?

[Corey]

It's gotta be.

[Nate]

I'm thinking Colorado, because Cal was just talking about how a lot of people drink it and if we build a bunch of stupid stuff. I concur, but San Diego's real far from there.

[Randall]

From Colorado?

[Nate]

Yep.

[Randall]

But is it far from the Colorado River?

[Nate]

I don't know. Is it?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know.

[Corey]

Not that.

[Nate]

Dude. I. I would get 20 more questions right if I just studied our hydrology. Hydrography. Hydrology.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Roman]

It's like Bozeman getting water from Canyon Ferry.

[Nate]

Is that how that works?

[Corey]

I think it's Highlight Reservoir.

[Roman]

People are talking about Canning Ferry, though.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Randall]

They're talking about building a pipeline down because we're going to have too many people in this valley.

[Spencer Newharth]

Again, this river provides drinking water for 1 in 10Americans, including those in Phoenix and San Diego. Nate thinks he's heard this on Cal of the Wild.

[Corey]

That's my guess, too. It's very.

[Nate]

That's my guess.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is that your answer? Jabronis. All right. Reveal your answers to Jabroni. Say Colorado River. Randall has the same answer. They got it. The correct answer is the Colorado River. The Colorado river is also responsible for watering 90% of America's winter vegetables. AmericanRivers.org says this high demand has the Colorado at its breaking point, which poses a threat not only for the environment, but also the nation's economy. Question 8. The topic is hunting.

[Corey]

Let's go.

[Spencer Newharth]

Travis Turner from Bone Collector is better known by this nickname.

[Nate]

Oh, easy.

[Corey]

Oh, good. Because you watch tv.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall does not have an answer.

[Nate]

Oh, dude.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Nate knows it. Travis Turner from Bone Collector is better known by this nickname.

[Nate]

Yeah, I like that.

[Corey]

It's a good answer.

[First Light Advertiser]

Flustered, man.

[Spencer Newharth]

Not flustered because tables have been turned.

[Randall]

This isn't something I would know, nor is it something that I would particularly.

[Nate]

I don't know why I know this.

[Corey]

I like.

[First Light Advertiser]

Oh, you know I do know why.

[Nate]

I know this.

[Corey]

Okay, let's wait. Give it a second.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jabronis are aesthetic. Randall, do you have your answer?

[Randall]

I do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jabronis, do you have your answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabronis saying t bone and Randall said skeletor.

[Nate]

Opposite of skeletor. Very opposite.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is t bone.

[Nate]

Yeah, there we go.

[Spencer Newharth]

Travis T. Bone turner. T Bone was an archery whiz long before he joined bone collector. He won the Georgia state Archery Championship in 1990 and the Archery Shooters Association World Championship in 1991. Then in 1994, he opened his bow shop, archery unlimited. It wasn't until later when he got the nickname t bone while shooting a comedic hunting show with Jeff foxworthy. Nate, why do you know Travis t. Bone turner? You just watch a lot of bone collecting?

[Nate]

No, I don't watch any bone collector. I know they're in Georgia and that's about it. And I know there's a big dude named t bone on it, but that's because a guy when I was doing an army school, a guy in my squad was like best friends with the bone collectors. Who's the main guy?

[Spencer Newharth]

Michael waddell.

[Nate]

His son was like best friends with this dude in my squad. And all he'd talk about when we were hanging out his bone collector, how.

[Spencer Newharth]

Many big bucks he's going to send him a thank you after.

[Randall]

I might do.

[Nate]

I got to think of his name.

[Spencer Newharth]

Travis T. Bone Turner. And yeah, Randall, he would be the opposite of skeletor.

[Randall]

I don't know why I just was thinking of skeletor.

[Spencer Newharth]

We have two questions left.

[Randall]

Probably build the bones there their money.

[Spencer Newharth]

Show us the leaderboards.

[Corey]

She don't eat meat.

[Phil]

That was the night the skeletons came to life. With two questions left, it is all tied up. Randall has six points, as do the jabronis.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, come on. Question nine. The topic is foraging. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Nathan dotson for sending this great question. Nathan is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question toTrivia Theme Eater.com. this foraged item was at the center of U. S. Fish and wildlife investigations called, quote, the root of all evil and operation root cause. These were two different investigations. This foraged item was at the center of u. S. Fish and wildlife investigations called the root of all evil and operation root cause. All four players are stumped. This foraged item was at the center of u S. Fish and wildlife investigations called the root of all evil and operation root cause. Randall, is your answer locked in? It is. All right, jabronis, tell us what you think it could be.

[Corey]

It's on the tip of my tongue. Isn't there, like, a root in, like, Virginia, West Virginia, that people are illegally foraging and selling in the black market?

[Randall]

Well, that would be in the question, basically, yeah.

[Corey]

And I wonder if that's what it is.

[Randall]

Yeah. The root. The root that is being investigated.

[Corey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Randall]

By law enforcement.

[Corey]

It's a big deal in the east.

[Nate]

I honestly have never heard of it.

[Randall]

This category. Continue.

[Spencer Newharth]

I didn't mean center of u. S. Vision. Wildlife investigations called the root of all Evil and Operation root cause. Randall. What? Give me a percent confidence you have this, right?

[Randall]

I don't know. Maybe 70, 75.

[Spencer Newharth]

75.

[Randall]

I just.

[Corey]

It's not gonna come to me.

[Randall]

I can picture a National Geographic article that I read about this, but most of all, all I can think about is how I thought I was gonna lose this game on bone collector and mushrooms, and it was making me so mad. And so now I'm really enjoying seeing these guys squirm.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Nate]

Oh, man.

[Roman]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

What? Still only a 75 chance that he has it right. And this is question nine.

[Randall]

Well, I'm probably more confident than that, but if I don't have it right, I don't want to appear over confident.

[Spencer Newharth]

Either way, whatever the result, we're going into question 10 was a potential tiebreaker.

[Nate]

Oh, I don't know. Let's just figure out some roots.

[Corey]

Well, yeah.

[Nate]

Root beer.

[Roman]

Name my few favorite roots.

[Corey]

Ginger root.

[Randall]

We're gonna do sit here and list roots.

[Nate]

Yeah, maybe. When does this go on real tv? My grandma's asking.

[Spencer Newharth]

Probably on Wednesday about a month from now.

[Nate]

Oh, cool. Way heaven.

[Corey]

I feel like it starts with an.

[Spencer Newharth]

S. It goes on YouTube, though, a week from now. So YouTube first.

[Nate]

My grandma's not real hot on YouTube.

[Corey]

Sassafras.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is that a root?

[Nate]

Probably. That goes into root beer.

[Corey]

Does it now?

[Nate]

I think so. Doesn't that make sarsaparilla?

[Roman]

I think you're right.

[Corey]

Sassafras. And I mean roots.

[Randall]

Sarsaparilla. Sassafras. Root of all evil. Root beer.

[Corey]

Sasquatch.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Salmonella.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's got to be illegal.

[Corey]

Samsonite.

[Spencer Newharth]

This foraged item was at the center of u. S. Fish and wildlife investigations called the root of all evil and operation. Maybe the weed. Jabroni.

[Nate]

Maybe it's the cartels.

[Spencer Newharth]

With an answer.

[Corey]

It's a weed.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's green it's foraged.

[Nate]

Yeah, I'm saying marijuana.

[Corey]

West Virginia. Sargum. No, that's molasses.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right. Barley, Corn.

[Corey]

I don't think it's sassafras, but it's better than nothing. Nothing.

[Nate]

I don't know what else is a.

[Corey]

Root that's an ingredient, an herb that's not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Captain. Captain Romans writing down his answer.

[Corey]

I don't know.

[Randall]

If it's not sassafras, you shouldn't write it down.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, what is it then?

[Randall]

I don't know, but I just wouldn't write down something that I knew.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the jabroni saying sassafras and Randall saying ginseng.

[Corey]

Ginseng.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall. Got it. The correct answer is ginseng.

[Randall]

Sangers.

[Nate]

What's that all about?

[Randall]

I think he'll tell us.

[Spencer Newharth]

Those investigations resulted in over 100 arrests between Ohio and Pennsylvania between 2012 and 2020. The roots of the native plant are so in demand because of their use in Eastern medicine. Prices vary, but are typically hundreds of dollars per pound. The lead investigator from the Root of All Evil estimated that 90% of America's foraged and sold ginseng winds up in. In Hong Kong.

[Nate]

I didn't know that was grown here.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's grown here. It's native to the place. And Corey was very close. He said, ginger. Yeah, I thought. I thought that was going to lead you into.

[Randall]

And he was in the right part of the country, too.

[Spencer Newharth]

He was.

[Randall]

Daniel Boone was a big sanger when he needed some extra cash.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now, here's a correct answer review so far. One was Kansas. Two, fledgling. Three, Justin Herbert. Four, Junior Ranger program. Five, Henry Repeating Arms. Six, the revenue. Seven, Colorado River. Eight, T Bone. Nine, Ginseng Bill, let's get a scoreboard update before question 10.

[Corey]

Those are like.

[Nate]

All right, here we go.

[Phil]

With Randall at seven and the jabronis at six, we're either going into a tiebreaker or Randall is winning this outright.

[Corey]

After this, just gonna request no more mountain man type questions.

[Spencer Newharth]

Here's question 10. The topic is fishing.

[Nate]

Hey.

[Randall]

Oh, who could have guessed?

[Nate]

Every time.

[Spencer Newharth]

This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper.

[Corey]

Oh, God. East coast questions.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall has a blank whiteboard. This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper.

[Nate]

Not Joan of Arc.

[Spencer Newharth]

All four players look stumped.

[Roman]

Oh, man, what a tie between history and fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall. Excuse me. Nate, You've done some east coast living, right?

[Nate]

Yep. But no east coast fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Mmm. Then you weren't really living, were you?

[Nate]

Nope. I was sucking it up.

[Spencer Newharth]

This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper. Randall just had a light bulb go off above his head.

[Corey]

Damn it. We need one of those.

[Nate]

And we need one to not. I need that to peter out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall, do you have this right now?

[Randall]

Yes, I do.

[First Light Advertiser]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sorry, jabronis. Just to make you feel better, though, maybe you could talk it out and get this one right.

[Corey]

Sometimes that works.

[Spencer Newharth]

Instead, you could either lose by two or one today.

[Nate]

Yeah, we lost by one to Brody, and I really don't want to Give on question 10. Yeah, I know. I'm tracking.

[Corey]

I don't know of any types of herring pickled.

[Roman]

Oh, pickled red.

[Nate]

But I don't think there's many, many tavern keepers name.

[Spencer Newharth]

This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval female tavern keeper.

[Nate]

Trying to think of medieval female tavern keeper.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall. Do you want to give them any hints, or do you just enjoy watching them really struggle?

[Randall]

No, I was just gonna say Phil, how you doing over there?

[Phil]

I'm doing good.

[Randall]

Cool.

[Phil]

Yeah, the chair's pretty comfy.

[Randall]

How are we running on time?

[Phil]

You know, this is running pretty average. Way shorter than Mark's episode.

[Randall]

I'm feeling good now because I can finally drop the facade of being an angry instigator. I can finally put that character aside and just spend time with my friends.

[Spencer Newharth]

Doing what I. Nate's grandma wanted to know when this would be cable tv.

[Nate]

She's not allowed to watch.

[Spencer Newharth]

And this will be Randall's first victory on the Outdoor Channel, so good on you, Randall.

[Randall]

Yeah, I've been on a real, real losing streak lately.

[Spencer Newharth]

People new to this show are be like, what's that guy's deal? Is he any good at this thing?

[Randall]

I know, and it's been really sad and embarrassing, but, you know, the folks out there kept the faith. I still get the occasional request for a donation. They've slowed down considerably since I started losing.

[Phil]

How often do you think about that? Just the slower pace of requests.

[Randall]

To be honest, right now, my social is just blowing up, so it's not a biggie.

[Phil]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, you just move one thing out, and something else moves in.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, Jabronis, do you give up on the herring that's native to the East Coast?

[Nate]

We got to come up with some.

[Spencer Newharth]

Named after a medieval female tavern.

[Corey]

I mean, Atlantic Tavern Keep.

[Nate]

Dude, that's not medieval.

[Randall]

I mean, you said Joan of Arc.

[Corey]

Yeah, there you go. Medieval.

[Nate]

She didn't keep A tavern.

[Randall]

A woman in medieval times.

[First Light Advertiser]

That's pretty much it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Gibronis. Oh, do you give up?

[Nate]

No. Give me like 30 more seconds.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Corey]

It's all you, buddy.

[Spencer Newharth]

30 more seconds for grandma Nate to watch him sit there.

[Nate]

She's not going to send me any fudge this year, dude.

[Spencer Newharth]

She makes it herself.

[Nate]

Oh, she does.

[Corey]

It's so Randall's gonna get some of that fudge, though.

[Nate]

Yeah, she.

[Spencer Newharth]

She will.

[Nate]

She'll adopt you. I don't want that. Loser.

[Spencer Newharth]

This herring, which is native to the east coast, is named after a medieval.

[Nate]

I don't know, female Jennifer.

[Phil]

It's my dream to open like a. Like a tiki bar style restaurant, but have it be medieval tavern.

[Corey]

Oh, that'd be cool.

[Randall]

It's not. You're not talking about medieval times?

[Phil]

No, it would be like just like a super elevated.

[Randall]

Oh, without the spectacle.

[Phil]

Yeah, without the little bit of pageantry. We're getting rid of the spectacle, but going tenfold into production design and vibes.

[Randall]

I couldn't believe how much good food. How much food they served us at medieval times when I went.

[Spencer Newharth]

Really? I feel like that would be what you'd expect to walk in there and get like a whole turkey leg.

[Randall]

It was a whole. I want to say it was a chicken.

[Phil]

Was this in Buena Park, California?

[Randall]

No, this was in Tucson.

[Nate]

Is this real history or is this fake history?

[Spencer Newharth]

Jabronis, I think you just give.

[Randall]

Right.

[Nate]

Like Genevieve or something.

[Randall]

Come on, guys.

[Corey]

Ooh, Genevieve. That's a good name.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh. All right, reveal your answers. Jabronis did not get it right. Randall says alewife. He got it. The correct answer is alewife. The alewife got its name from colonists in the 1630s. According to them, these river herrings had a paunchy belly that resembled those of chubby alewives in England. In some parts of the continent, the name has been corrupted to eel wife with origins saying the herring is the wife of river eels. All right, Randall, two point victory today. He gets eight correct answers.

[Roman]

You're welcome.

[Spencer Newharth]

Where are we donating the money?

[Randall]

This one's going to go out to the Vancouver Wildlife League in Vancouver, Washington.

[Phil]

Hey, my hometown.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Randall]

Oh, that's even more special.

[Spencer Newharth]

Besides Phil growing up there, what do we like about the.

[Randall]

Founded in 1929. Founded in 1929. They. They do habitat restoration. They do. They have volunteer pheasant release program. And this man, they have an annual spring fishing derby for kids. And this listener says, this is the type of group that will save hunting and fishing in the state of washing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hmm.

[Randall]

Okay, so I Thought that was a strong case.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good place to donate $500 to for those small groups. $500 is quite meaningful.

[Randall]

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's kind of cool to. Because there's groups everywhere. You know, maybe even if it's a dozen people in a small town, there's people doing meaningful work everywhere. So if we can boost the coffers a little bit and spread the love one more time.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's the name of the place?

[Randall]

The Vancouver Wildlife League. That's correct. The Vancouver Wildlife League.

[Spencer Newharth]

$500 going their way. Yeah. Sorry, jabronis. Three of you. Maybe three of you isn't enough. They've been close games.

[Nate]

Three is good.

[Randall]

It's good. It's fair.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

I. I just want to say, you know, Roman, you're. You know, you're my favorite. You're my dog. Nate, you did a tremendous job sewing my backpack for me.

A real fledgling.

[Randall]
