[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 Giannis, Brody, Corinne, Nate, Seth and Sarah. This is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing for the stat of the week. This week we're looking at the number 35. That's how many years old Phil Taylor is today. Happy birthday.

[Phil]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

What does an old man like you, 35 years old, do on his 35th birthday?

[Giannis]

He didn't shave, I can tell you that. Spencer?

[Phil]

Yeah, I'm doing a thing right now. I do, I do this like maybe once or twice a year where I just like, I think maybe, maybe 35 is the year where I can grow a BE. It never is. I'm hoping 36 is the magic number. I don't have any plans tonight. I might.

[Brody]

No Baldur's Gate. No, nothing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody, I bought your Instagram after the.

[Phil]

Kids are in bed. Baldur's Gate might be on the, on the docket there. Okay, I'm playing, I'm playing. I made Randall a Baldur's Gate character and he's my main character. So I'm going to see what kind of, you know, horrible situations I can put him in.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right. Happy birthday.

[Phil]

Thank you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia atthe meat eater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Ben Anderson says I'm 14 years old and I have a question for Phil. What types of software does he use to record trivia and does it differ from what you use to record the normal podcast birthday? Phil, what do you got for Ben? He's 14 years old. Yeah.

[Phil]

Hey, Ben, I don't actually use a computer software. When I'm recording the podcast in the studio, I do everything into this big. This fancy. Let's see if I can move this camera here. If you're watching on YouTube, Ben, you'll be able to see this. This is real. That's the mixing board here. It's an Allen and Heath digital mixing board. And I record that onto an SD card, the podcast onto an SD card.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Phil]

And it's also being fed into the video hard drive, so I've got a backup as well. And then I take all those files and I put them into my computer upstairs, my office, and I use a software called Pro Pro Tools, which is kind of like the film and TV industry, kind of. That's the software that all the audio mixers use. And that's what I learned on. And I'm really. That's the one software I'm very fast on, and I. So I'm scared to stop using it because. Yeah, that's the only one I'm good at.

[Spencer Newharth]

Some behind the scenes.

[Giannis]

You're getting probably too old to learn about new software.

[Phil]

Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

For Phil's birthday, Corinne said he's going to get a new studio in 2026.

[Phil]

You're doing that for me?

[Spencer Newharth]

Isn't that a thing? You promised this morning?

[Giannis]

Tell us more about this, Corinne.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're gonna get a new studio at some point as. As Phil's 35th birthday present.

[Giannis]

Sounds like it could be good for all of us.

[Spencer Newharth]

You might have to wait, like, six months or so, but Corinne made the promise, so a bigger.

[Brody]

You're not gonna replace him with AI, are you?

[Phil]

Why would you even put that thought into the ether there?

[Spencer Newharth]

We have some housekeeping. On a previous episode of Trivia, we had a question about the National Park Service project that is, quote, a way to introduce children and those young at heart to the natural wonders of the park. That was referring to the Junior RA program, of which no one in the room had any experience with. But then just days later, Phil the engineer went out and got himself a few junior ranger brat badges. Phil, tell us about that.

[Phil]

Yeah, this program is way more hardcore than I thought it was.

[Spencer Newharth]

You can't.

[Phil]

You can't just walk up to a park ranger and. And ask for a badge. They have you. There's a whole booklet. And depending on your age, you have to complete a certain number of activities within the park. You know, sort of like find this or find that or, you know, there's stuff like crossword puzzles and word searches and mazes and everything. The older you are, the more activities you have to do. And then you show, you bring that to a park ranger once it's completed, and then they, they ask you questions, they kind of like quiz you about stuff that you've seen. And then they make you take up a pledge, an oath. And it's different at every park and, and every national monument. And then after you do that, you get a, you get a little ranger badge.

[Spencer Newharth]

What, what did your boys have to do to earn those badges?

[Phil]

Well, I mean, so like the 6 year old, the 7 year old only had to complete 7 of the activities, but the 12 year old had to complete 12. So that's sort of like the, the range. But then I will, I'm gonna call out. So we went to Mount Rushmore, we went to the Badlands, and we went to Devil's Tower National Monument and all of those. Oh, sorry, I'm forgetting one. I think we went to four different. But, but I. The Mount Rushmore Badlands all made us. They were really strict about completing the packet, but. Oh yeah, Wind Cave. That's right, Wind Cave in South Dakota. They were all very strict. But there was a guy at Devil's park who was just handing out badges like candy. And I'm not going to, I'm not going to give his name. I don't want him to get in trouble. But it definitely made it feel less special.

[Spencer Newharth]

Were the boys stoked on them or was it like, oh, yeah, no, that.

[Phil]

Became the activity for the trip was collecting these badges. So, I mean, yeah, it's effective, it's working. Great job. National parks.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate was here that day. We talked about those. Does anyone else in the room have a junior ranger badge?

[Brody]

Yeah, well, my boys do from Rocky Mountain national park and Yellowstone.

[Spencer Newharth]

Were they stoked on that or was it like doing this?

[Brody]

I mean, it was a while ago now, but yeah, they were stoked.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now, a coveted piece of merch at Phil's home. All right, the Shelby index for today is a five. So I'm putting us on perfect score alert. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop. Phil, look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Seth]

Just tend to win everything.

[Corinne]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 1. The topic is wildlife, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these animals is a pachyderm? Is it a goose, a hippo, a newt, or a bear? Which of these animals is a pachyderm? Goose, hippo, newt, or bear? Brody and Nate quick to answer. Nate, do you have this one, right?

[Nate]

I think so. It's like somewhere. What's Steve always talking about?

[Spencer Newharth]

Homunculus.

[Nate]

That's the one. I think he's got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody, do you know this?

[Brody]

Unless you're pulling a fast one on us, which, like, you never used to do, but lately it seems like it happens now and then.

[Spencer Newharth]

Which of these animals is a pachyderm? Goose. Hippo. Newt. Bear. Giannis, how confident are you?

[Giannis]

Pretty confident.

[Spencer Newharth]

You got this one right. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Sarah and Iannis and Seth. The whole room says hippo. The whole room got it right. The correct answer is a hippo. A pachyderm is a non ruminant animal with thick skin and hooves or nails and such as elephants, rhinos and hippos. It used to be scientifically accepted as a class of mammal, but biologists later learned that they're not that closely related. Pachyderm is still used as an informal grouping at zoos, though. Question 2. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Miguel Rivera. What is the 11 letter instrument that measures the speed of a bullet or arrow in flight? What is the 11 letter instrument that measures the speed of a bullet or arrow in flight? Nate and Brody, again, quick to answer. Do either of you boys own one of these 11 letter instruments?

[Brody]

Don't, but I got one in my truck right now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, there's a little hint for maybe Giannis knows the contents of Brody's pickup. Yanni, do you know what's in Brody's pickup right now?

[Giannis]

I was with Brody yesterday and we almost used this.

[Spencer Newharth]

What a coincidence. Would have you gotten this right if this didn't just happen yesterday?

[Giannis]

Okay, yes, I would have.

[Spencer Newharth]

Again, question two. The topic is gear. What is the 11 letter instrument that measures the speed of a bullet or arrow in flight?

[Giannis]

I've used a few over the years. Always fussy.

[Spencer Newharth]

These instruments need a good cloudy day. I was just going to say I feel like lighting is a big part of that. Which, like in a machine shed versus outside.

[Seth]

You said you own one.

[Giannis]

I have. Over the years. I don't think I own one at the moment.

[Seth]

The one I own is very great.

[Nate]

Is it the normal one everybody's got?

[Giannis]

You have to tell us about it after we get the answers.

[Spencer Newharth]

Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying chronograph. Sarah says speedometer. And Seth say chronograph. Corinne says oh, meter. And Brody says chrome chronometer. The correct answer is chronograph.

[Giannis]

I Had chronometer.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm sorry, I gotta see if that's. That's also accepted.

[Nate]

I've never heard that.

[Giannis]

Interesting because they're both 11 chronometer.

[Spencer Newharth]

I see that as a watch.

[Nate]

Yeah, I think that's a. A Rolex thing that.

[Corinne]

Yeah. That's five watches specification.

[Giannis]

How did we both write that down?

[Spencer Newharth]

That's tough.

[Giannis]

I'm seeing everyone calling it that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Calling the thing that measures.

[Giannis]

It's a chronograph.

[Spencer Newharth]

Speed of a bullet.

[Seth]

It's chronic.

[Spencer Newharth]

Or an arrow Chronograph. I'm. Hey, chronometer. Wrong. That's life.

[Nate]

It's like it's a timekeeper that's certified by an astronomical like observatory.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're not going to accept that. That's right.

[Corinne]

So those watches. Chronometers are always better than non licensed.

[Spencer Newharth]

There are three primary types of chronographs that outdoorsmen use. There are optical chronos which have sensors the projectile passes through. There are magnetic chronos which. Which typically attach to the barrel of your gun like a bayonet. And then there are Doppler Chronos which use radar waves to track the projectile. Which one do you have, Seth?

[Seth]

I have the Garmin one, which is Doppler. The Doppler, I believe.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

But I was told recently that that one's not as good as the. The lab radar.

[Seth]

It's not as consistent as far as accuracy.

[Giannis]

Yeah, I was going to say because.

[Seth]

It works way better than labradar.

[Giannis]

Yeah, the lab radar is a little more finicky.

[Nate]

Which one's the one with the little metal rods and the.

[Spencer Newharth]

That would be the optical. That's the one. Like if you're in a machine shed, your arrow may not be seen the same as if it was a crowny day, cloudy day. Question 3. The topic is conservation. What state is Great Basin national park located in? And the room is stumped.

[Giannis]

Oh, no, I'm not stumped.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, just taking their time.

[Giannis]

Either lived in this state or the one next to.

[Spencer Newharth]

A hint for the rest of the room. What state is Great Basin National Park? We have six blank whiteboards in the room right now. What state is Great Basin national park located in? Yanni thinks he's lived in that state or near that state.

[Brody]

That's a big hint.

[Giannis]

Man, I've lived in a lot of places, Brody.

[Brody]

Not that many.

[Giannis]

Yeah, but I'm telling you, I can't remember if it was in that state or the one next to it. That really adds a lot of other options.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now I think you're Messing with Brody a little one.

[Seth]

Lots of states in that one, Right?

[Spencer Newharth]

What state is Great Basin national park located in? Nate, how do you feel about your answer?

[Nate]

I'd give myself like one in six.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Seth, how do you feel about your answer?

[Seth]

It's kind of a gift.

[Giannis]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's up to you two to get the perfect game today. Yanni and Seth are already out of it.

[Brody]

I'm out of it too, bro.

[Seth]

Yanni and Brody.

[Spencer Newharth]

Excuse me. Yanni and Brody are already out of it. It's a lot of pressure. What state is Great Basin national park located in? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Utah. Sarah, Utah. Giannis. Utah. Seth. Utah. Corinne, Nevada. Brody, Nevada. And he crossed out. What'd you cross out?

[Giannis]

Really?

[Corinne]

I have a chance at maybe getting this right? Because Brody, I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is Nevada. Got it right. Great Basin national park is located in eastern Nevada along the Utah border. It was established in 1986 and is one of the least visited parks in the country. Great Basin is where the forgotten Winchester was discovered by park employees in 2014. The 143 year old gun was found leaning against a juniper tree, with archaeologists speculating it was left there by its owner over a century ago. Here is a picture that was taken on the day of its discovery.

[Nate]

That's so cool.

[Sarah]

It's very cool.

[Phil]

I never heard of that saying.

[Spencer Newharth]

The forgotten Winchester discovered in 2014. It is now in their visitor center. You can go see the thing.

[Nate]

I feel like you'd have to rip up that whole tree and make like a diorama of it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, actually a wildfire passed through there, I think a year or two later, and this thing would have just been forgotten for real. So they found it just in the nick of time, standing there just like the day someone left it.

[Giannis]

I'd like to know. It's good to know. There are places in this country where something that big could be leaning against a tree and not be seen by a human for over a hundred years.

[Spencer Newharth]

I like that observation, especially when you have someone negative like Steve who says there's too many people and not enough things to do in national parks. Well, look at there, Steve. There's guns out there to be found that have just been sitting there for 100 years.

[Corinne]

You've just changed his whole mind.

[Nate]

Unlikely.

[Seth]

Grow into that tree, they said.

[Spencer Newharth]

So the. The butt of it was in 5 inches of soil at that part, at that point. So it was starting to erode away. But look at the stock too. There's Some enormous cracks there.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Laid there for just a hundred years. Question 4. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Sam Rival for sending this great question. Sam 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 atthe meat eater.com. the D. HPP vaccine for dogs is meant to prevent blank hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvo. So we know three of the things it's meant to prevent. We're looking for one more. The DHPP vaccine for dogs is meant to prevent blank, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvo. Nate, very quick to answer. Sarah has now joined him. Sarah, do you have this one right?

[Sarah]

I have a virus.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Sarah]

That could, in theory, appear in dogs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate, how confident are you?

[Nate]

I think this might be a people virus.

[Sarah]

Does Chip have this vaccine?

[Nate]

Yeah, but I don't know what the D is in it.

[Spencer Newharth]

The DH oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Nate]

I'm changing it up.

[Spencer Newharth]

For dogs. Is meant to prevent.

[Giannis]

You just gave him a tip.

[Spencer Newharth]

Blank hepatitis, parent influenza. And, Nate, did your answer start with a D? Yeah. Okay. It did.

[Sarah]

I think if it's starting with a D is a hint, it's pretty far off base, and I think it's.

[Spencer Newharth]

You weren't going to get it right to begin with.

[Sarah]

Yeah, I think it's valid.

[Spencer Newharth]

DHPP vaccine for dogs is meant to prevent blank hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvo.

[Nate]

I feel good now. I changed up. Feel real strong.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate likes his answer. Brody, do you like your answer?

[Brody]

We'll find out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. I think we have six dog owners at the table today. Corinne's making up for me for not owning a dog. She has four now. How did you. How did you get the fourth one? I haven't heard the story yet.

[Seth]

She also has the biggest of dogs and the smallest.

[Brody]

I was gonna say. What's the weight difference?

[Spencer Newharth]

She's missing a small. She has medium.

[Corinne]

I think pinata's probably like 15.

[Nate]

No, come on.

[Corinne]

Less.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I thought you were gonna say years old. Less than 15.

[Sarah]

I was eating lunch on the little balcony on the second floor last week, and I see Youpi in the pond. I look down, and pinata has an entire dead fish in her mouth. I was like, oh, that's a great day.

[Corinne]

It was a desiccated trout or white fish on the back of our little pond here, which she proceeded to later vomit onto the carpet in my office.

[Nate]

Is that also what's in front of the door. Do you know what I'm talking about? The front door?

[Corinne]

No.

[Nate]

Okay. Looks like a vomited up fish.

[Corinne]

This is last.

[Spencer Newharth]

Check it out later.

[Corinne]

Oh, shoot.

[Brody]

Well, it looks like the second floor is like dog vomit, dog shit zone in this office.

[Sarah]

The third floor is pretty safe, I think.

[Brody]

Yeah.

[Nate]

That second.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

But, Corinne, how did you get the fourth dog?

[Corinne]

So Pinata is my partner Matt's daughter's dog that she adopted a couple of months ago. And it used to be like 5050 at both of the houses. And then she really just ended up at our place. And. And is our puppy now good for Pinata? Yeah, she's very happy. She's best friends with squid Again.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question for. The DHPP vaccine for dogs is meant to prevent blank hepatitis, parainfluenza and Parvo. Is everybody ready?

[Brody]

I didn't get this right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying distemper. What's that say? Sarah?

[Sarah]

Diphtheria.

[Spencer Newharth]

Diphtheria. Seth? Not an answer. Corinne? Diphtheria. Brody? Rabies. The correct answer is distemper. Got it right. The DHPP vaccine is considered a core vaccine, meaning it's recommended that all dogs get it. Distemper is a highly contagious virus that also affects foxes, coyotes, wolves, raccoons, skunks, and ferrets. There's a 50% fatality rate for dogs who have it, with survivors often left with nervous system damage. It is distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvo.

[Nate]

Can I ask a dog question real quick?

[Spencer Newharth]

Sure.

[Nate]

The rattlesnake venom vaccine. Thoughts, anybody?

[Seth]

We did it for our dog and it just abscessed and was another vet visit.

[Nate]

That sounds terrible.

[Seth]

I recommend not doing it.

[Nate]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

We had a professional vet write an article for our website about his thoughts on the vaccine. I don't remember what his conclusion was, but you and anyone else carry about curious about that. Could go read that.

[Nate]

Cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 5. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Daniel Knuth. This holy tool, which is also called a persuader, is the small club that anglers use to kill fish.

[Giannis]

Where is it?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, we have one in the room somewhere. Who walked off with it?

[Phil]

Is it hanging with those? Yeah. Behind Spencer's Holy.

[Spencer Newharth]

H O L Y. This holy tool, which is also called a persuader, is the small club that anglers use to kill fish. Brody, very quick to answer.

[Seth]

Are you looking for a specific name?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes, it's a holy name. This holy tool, which is also called a persuader, is the small club that anglers use to kill fish. Brody has found one in the podcast.

[Brody]

My old man made that thing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tell us, about 50 years ago. What's it made out of?

[Brody]

Like, steel rod, homemade handle, little garden hose on there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Why now?

[Brody]

Why the notches on there?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, why the garden hose? What does that add to it so.

[Brody]

It doesn't make a bunch of noise rattling around an aluminum boat?

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, that's a well thought out persuade.

[Brody]

Among other things, I think.

[Spencer Newharth]

What else is that killed?

[Brody]

Oh, I think this is primarily salmon killing machine killing.

[Spencer Newharth]

This holy tool, which is also called a persuader, is the small club that anglers use to kill fish. Now, did your dad call it the answer we're looking for? Did he call it a persuader? Did he call it something else he.

[Giannis]

Had a name for?

[Brody]

Wasn't persuader, but it was along that line. I'll have to.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll.

[Brody]

We'll update it later, but I can't remember his exact word for it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni, how you doing over there?

[Corinne]

Damn it.

[Giannis]

I don't know the answer. I'm trying to make one up.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth, is there one of these in your boat?

[Seth]

I use the back side of my gaff.

[Nate]

Okay, so it's probably not.

[Seth]

And I don't call it. I don't call it anything holy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Have a name?

[Brody]

If you got a good, stout scrub brush in your boat, that'll work too.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate, do you have this one right?

[Nate]

No, dude, Total guess.

[Spencer Newharth]

This holy tool, which is also called a persuader, is the small club that anglers use to kill fish. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Iron Cross, Sarah without an answer. Giannis says devil's Club, Seth without an answer. Corinne says a bonker. A bonkers baton crux. And Brody says priest. The correct answer is priest. Brody got that one right.

[Sarah]

Really not doing well for a. I've never heard before.

[Spencer Newharth]

The name comes from the notion that anglers are administering the last rights to the fish before crushing their brain. Priests have also been used as bold murder weapons in pop culture, such as the BBC series Father Brown, the Ethan Hawke podcast Fish Priest, and the Sam Mills novel Poacher's Priest.

[Seth]

Man, if you whack a halibut on the nose, right, with one of those.

[Spencer Newharth]

Things, instant death, lights out.

[Giannis]

You know what I heard about yesterday? Couple you anglers in the room will appreciate this. We're talking about bringing large halibut aboard, and a fellow was telling me a story about being on a sailboat that he sailed up and down six different times between here and. Not Montana, but the west coast of the US And Alaska. And he was up, I think he said misty fjords. And they landed a 200 pounder. And he goes, and you know, I always keep a little vodka in a squirt bottle because you just give a little squirt of vodka on their gills and boom.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah.

[Giannis]

Anesthetized, just like mellow yellow. And then you can go to work.

[Brody]

I tried petting them on the belly like Heather's dad did. Doesn't work for me. Like just putting them to sleep. Yeah, he's got the magic touch because it did not work for me.

[Seth]

A big one. You want to. You want to make sure you're past the belly rub stage before you bring it in the boat because. Yeah, it's chaos.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

[Phil]

Yeah. At halftime here, everyone's on the board. Tied up at the bottom of the barrel are Sarah and Janis. One point.

[Spencer Newharth]

Damn.

[Phil]

After that are Seth and Corinne with two points a piece. And tied up in first are Brody and Nate with three points.

[Spencer Newharth]

Shelby's gonna be in the running to win.

[Sarah]

Shelby might.

6. The topic is cooking. McCormick says this herb, which has leaves that resemble pine needles, has an unmistakable woody fragrance. McCormick says this herb, which has leaves that resemble pine needles, has an unmistakable woody fragrance. Sarah, Corinne, Nate, Brody, all quick to answer. Corinne, do you have this one right?

[Corinne]

I do.

[Brody]

If I'm right, I got some growing right now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Mmm.

[Giannis]

Hot tip.

[Spencer Newharth]

The room is very confident on this one. Oh, and Nate, he says, I don't know if that would be in someone's garden.

[Brody]

Nate was my main competition.

[Spencer Newharth]

McCormick says this herb, which has leaves that resemble pine needles, has an unmistakable woody fragrance.

[Brody]

I'm also not sure that's how I describe the fragrance.

[Nate]

Yeah, I don't if I have this right, I'll be pissed.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought about that. But then I was like, well, I don't know how I would describe it.

[Brody]

I'm gonna go home and smell it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I like what McCormick says. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Sam, Sarah Andis. The whole room says rosemary. The whole room got it right. I had it already.

[Nate]

Dude, you made me question my answer.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is rosemary. Rosemary flavor has been described as piney, peppery, lemony, savory, and woodsy. For that reason, it naturally complements wild game. Danielle Pruitt features rosemary in her article called how to make the perfect steak sauce. And Steve Rinella uses it in his grilled squirrel with lemon thyme and rosemary recipe. You can get both of those on Theme Eater.com. i love rosemary on potatoes.

[Brody]

Fries?

[Seth]

Yep. Fries.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Question seven. The topic is hunting. Dale tells Hank that the best part of deer hunting is, quote, getting out in the woods away from the government in a 1998 episode of this show. We've got six blank whiteboards in the room. Dale tells Hank that the best part of deer hunting is, quote, getting out in the woods away from the government in a 1998 episode of this show. Corinne, do you have this one right? No. No.

[Nate]

I think I know the show and can't remember the name.

[Spencer Newharth]

This may be a zero percenter.

[Giannis]

No, it won't be.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, got an answer. Dale tells Hank that the best part of deer hunting is getting out in the woods away from the government in a 1998 episode of this show. Phil, would you get this one right?

[Phil]

I would. I didn't watch a lot of this show, but I know the characters names just through us. Like cultural osmosis.

[Giannis]

Huh? That's exactly why I know I'm right. Okay, Phil, just.

[Spencer Newharth]

There we go.

[Giannis]

Phil just made me feel real good. Thanks, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth, do you have this one right?

[Seth]

I don't. I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Seth]

It's just the first thing I thought of.

[Spencer Newharth]

You have a show from the 90s that maybe has characters named Bill.

[Giannis]

Are you gonna be able to do an impression of one of the characters after this?

[Phil]

Nothing I love more than when Spencer and Giannis queue me up for an impression that I can't do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Dale tell tells Hank that the best part of.

[Giannis]

Oh, Brody, I can't believe you can't remember the name of the show.

[Brody]

Escaping me. And the thing is, are they doing.

[Spencer Newharth]

A reboot of this? Wow. Oh, there's a hint from Brody. Dale tells Hank that the best part of deer hunting is getting out in the woods away from the government in a 1998 episode of this show.

[Brody]

No matter how many times you say.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Brody's hint.

[Giannis]

Dang.

[Spencer Newharth]

Help anybody. Despite him being right. Is everybody ready?

[Giannis]

I wonder if Shelby got this one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal. Are we gonna get. Nothing happened. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying the show of the General Lee, Sarah without an answer.

[Nate]

That's what I was thinking of.

[Spencer Newharth]

Giannis says king of the Hill. Seth, King of the hill. Corinne, Beverly Hills, 90210. Brody, King of the hill. He got it. The correct answer is king of the hill.

[Nate]

96.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Right. Getting out in the woods away from the government is also Steve's favorite part of hunting. In that episode, Bobby goes on a high fence deer hunt in Texas, but declines to shoot a baited buck. Then later that day, while learning to drive, he kills a whitetail with his dad's pickup. Dale says, they're going to, quote, take old Mr. Buck right to the rendering plant for sausage ification.

[Giannis]

You know, I can tell you what Steve would have said about that Winchester and about why it would. The whole thing actually buttresses his argument. Because the reason he doesn't like national parks, because people don't really go out and enjoy them as. As much you can't do things.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's what he says. They're a place you go to not do stuff.

[Giannis]

Yeah. And because I feel like if that gun was laying against any old tree outside of a national park, the likelihood of it getting found in the last hundred years is much higher because of the way hunters and anglers explore in national parks. There's a lot less exploring going on, a lot more just driving, staying on the trails.

[Seth]

That's good.

[Nate]

But think about how many times that's happened with just some dude and he just took it home and nobody ever heard about it.

[Giannis]

So have what now?

[Spencer Newharth]

He's saying, like, that happens on some BLM land. Are you saying?

[Nate]

And then some dude just like, you know, outside the park on BLM takes it home and just now it sits above his fireplace and nobody knows about it. He dies. His kids don't know what's going on. It goes in the trash and you don't get a cure. Some cool anecdote about a gun left there for 100 years.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think if you don't like parks, you're just. You're just doing them wrong.

[Sarah]

I think. I think that's right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Brody]

Better to have them than not have them, I'll tell you that much.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 8. The topic is conservation. This next great Question is, via Matt Bauer. What does the forestry acronym TSI stand for?

[Giannis]

Oh, thanks, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

What does the forestry acronym TSI stand for? Yanni and Seth. They're gonna get this one right for sure. Well, damn, Bobby.

[Giannis]

That'S great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Phil.

[Giannis]

That was good.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, what does the forest react to?

[Phil]

I know that Hank says Bobby a lot. That's what I know about King of the Hill.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's good. What does the forestry acronym TSI stand for? I think Yanni was hoping for. Is it Boomhauer? That's like, just mumble talk.

[Giannis]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is that the impression you're hoping. Oh, you wanted, Hank?

[Giannis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil nailed it again. Question 8. The topic is conservation. What does the forestry acronym TSI stand for? Nate, do you have this?

[Giannis]

Come on, Corinne.

[Nate]

Dude, I'm falling apart.

[Phil]

Dude.

[Nate]

Second half.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sarah, do you have this?

[Giannis]

That's all we talk about.

[Sarah]

Three words start with the right letters. One of them at least is relevant to the topic.

[Corinne]

My brain stopped working a few years ago.

[Sarah]

It's probably the lasagna.

[Giannis]

Oh, I definitely feel like I ate too many carbs.

[Seth]

Oh, me too.

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody, how are we doing over here?

[Brody]

I'm just making something up.

[Spencer Newharth]

What does the forestry acronym TSI stand for?

[Giannis]

1 of my favorite things to do these days.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you follow Yani on Instagram, if you pay attention when he's on meat eater radio, you'll get this one right.

[Sarah]

So that makes me second guess my answer is.

[Spencer Newharth]

Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying, tree stand improvement. Sarah, timber sale initiative. Giannis, timber stand improvement. Seth, timber stand improvement. Corinne, without an answer. Brody, total soil index. Yeah, the correct answer is timber stand improvement. I don't think we're gonna give it to Nate. That becomes something else. That's like changing racket ratchet straps.

[Nate]

I'm talking about improving the stand of trees.

[Giannis]

Of trees.

[Spencer Newharth]

TSI is timber. I think this is worth at least.

[Phil]

Trees as a concept. Least of us.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth and Yanni Ganta.

[Nate]

That's trash, dude.

[Seth]

You're gonna. That's trash.

[Spencer Newharth]

Timber stand improvement is a way to remove unwanted trees from a forest. The goal is often to simulate to stimulate new growth and increase the productivity of trees. TSI can come in the form of prescribed burns, chemical control, or logging. Yanni, do you think he should get it for tree stand improvements?

[Brody]

No, I'm okay with this.

[Spencer Newharth]

Real quick. Seth, as the forestry man, should he get it tree stand improve?

[Giannis]

Because if you took away improvement and you said, okay, well, what is a tree stand? No one ever is going to say A stand of trees.

[Nate]

A forester would. A hunter might not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth, would a forester say that?

[Seth]

Tree stand improvement.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Seth]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tree.

[Giannis]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Nate]

Tree stand improvement can refer to timber stand improvement, which is a land practice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Sarah]

Can refer.

[Seth]

Is that what Gemini popped up?

[Giannis]

Google overlord.

[Seth]

Gemini didn't go to college for forestry.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you have on tsi?

[Seth]

What do I have on tsi?

[Spencer Newharth]

You do a lot of TSI when you were in college?

[Seth]

Yeah, yeah, I've done it, you know, for personal use, too, on the hunting.

[Spencer Newharth]

Property in pa. You get jealousy talking about all that tsi?

[Phil]

Oh, I do.

[Seth]

I miss doing that stuff. It's fun. It's fun to, you know, manipulate the landscape in a positive way and then see it pay off.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a fun way to look at it. Yanni, how's the TSI going this year?

[Giannis]

You know, I personally haven't been doing as much. The law. The logger did most of the TSI.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's done for 2025 at this point.

[Giannis]

I'm gonna be there for a short couple days to do some herbicide application in October, and if I have time, I'll maybe bust out the chainsaw and do a little tsi.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Nate is still Googling. Nate, no come with a surrounder arm.

[Seth]

I'm looking at my.

[Nate]

My trail camp picks.

[Phil]

Oh, I gotta.

[Seth]

It's pretty popping this afternoon.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, Phil, let's get a scoreboard update with two questions to go.

[Phil]

Yeah, well, Seth has scurried his way up the leaderboard.

[Spencer Newharth]

Look at that.

[Phil]

We've got Sarah with two points, Corinne with three, Nate and Giannis with four points a piece. And then now tied up in first place are Brody and Seth with five points.

[Giannis]

And how many questions do we have left?

[Spencer Newharth]

Two left. Here is question for the topic is fishing. This ten letter word is defined as, quote, the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width. This ten letter word is defined as the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width. Brody and Seth both confident. Nate joining them as well. Yanni is doing his hangman. He likes his answer. This is question nine. This ten letter word is defined as the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width.

[Giannis]

Some friends of mine own a marijuana store in Three Rivers, Michigan by this name.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, that's a good name for a marijuana store. I like that.

[Nate]

I don't think I have this right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying, confluence.

[Nate]

Nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sarah, conversion. Giannis, confluence. Seth, confluence. Corrine, without an answer. Brody, confluence. The correct answer is the marijuana store. Confluence. Confluences can either be two rivers forming a new river, such as where the Jefferson and Madison create the Missouri in Montana, or it can be one river joining another, such as where the Yellowstone meets the Missouri in North Dakota. That is where their state record paddlefish was snagged in 2016.

[Brody]

It eventually always comes back to paddlefish with Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right. You'll find that. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was hippo. Two, chronograph. Three, Nevada. Four, distemper. Five, priest. Six, rosemary. Seven, king of the hill. Eight, timber stand improvement. Nine, confluence. Phil, let's get another scoreboard update before question 10.

[Seth]

Here we are.

[Phil]

Seth and Brody are still tied up in first place with six, but Nate and Giannis can catch up. They are right behind them with five points apiece.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. A lot of ways we could go to a tiebreaker here. Here's the final question. The topic is wildlife. This is the largest terrestrial slug in North America, which is named after the food it resembles.

[Seth]

Mmm.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate and Brody and Sarah and Seth. Everyone is feeling confident. This may be a 100 percenter. This is the largest terrestrial slug in North America, which is named after the food it resembles. Is everybody ready?

[Nate]

No, I'm changing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay. Has anyone seen one of these?

[Brody]

Lots.

[Seth]

I saw one recently that was so big, I had to stop a conversation and be like, look at the size of it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I love that. That's good.

[Giannis]

Where were you, Seth, when that happened?

[Spencer Newharth]

New Jersey. That's a good answer. Is everybody ready? Again, this is the largest terrestrial slug in North America, which is named after the food it resembles. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Sarah and Giannis and Seth and Corinne and Brody saying banana slug. They got it. The correct answer is banana slug. The Pacific banana slug can grow up to 10 inches long and weigh 4 ounces. And as the name implies, they are bright yellow. They can help. They help clean the forest floor, eating animal droppings, dead leaves, moss, and fungi. Pacific banana slugs are found from Alaska to California. Is that where you saw your banana slug?

[Seth]

Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

In Alaska.

[Seth]

Prince Whales Island.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is that where you see a lot of them at?

[Brody]

Yeah, the kids. Well, they used to like messing with them more. Now they're. They'd rather go fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Not.

[Brody]

They're little. They'd collect. They'd fill a bucket with those things up there.

[Corinne]

Would you cook them like snails?

[Brody]

I don't think. I think slugs are. No fish or something.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Show me how big this. This Pacific banana slug.

[Seth]

Oh, it was.

[Spencer Newharth]

It was like that's a Boone.

[Seth]

I know, I know of a story of a friend. Friend was telling me this story.

[Phil]

They.

[Seth]

I forget how it goes exactly.

[Giannis]

They like bet.

[Seth]

They bet a friend in high school or something to like eat one. Oh, and it almost killed him.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Seth]

Like caused so much mucus and stuff that was just like blocked his airway.

[Nate]

Yeah, I think I saw that in Harry Potter.

[Seth]

Yeah. Not good deed throwing them up.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, good PSA from Seth. All right, we are going to overtime play the drop.

[Sarah]

Phil, tiebreaker.

[Spencer Newharth]

In overtime today it is Seth and Brody. This will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest to the correct answer will be declared the winner. But the whole room will play as long play along because if somebody else gets it right on the nose, we will add an extra $100 to today's donation. All right, the tie breaking topic is hunting. What is the minimum score for a non typical American elk in the Boone and Crockett record book? What is the minimum score for a non typical American elk in the Boone and Crockett record book? Whoever is closest between Seth and Brody be declared today's winner. No quick answers. Thought one of you may just know this off the top of your dome.

[Nate]

If I get this, I'm telling everyone I won today.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes, please do. Nate. Looks like we have a lot of guesses happening. Yanni is watching Seth write down his answer. What do you think of his answer, Yanni?

[Giannis]

I think he's a little low.

[Spencer Newharth]

Little low.

[Seth]

I had it high and I changed it to lower.

[Giannis]

I think the non typical.

[Spencer Newharth]

Minimum score for a non typical.

[Giannis]

Now do you do the awards or the all time?

[Spencer Newharth]

In this case it's the same. Oh, so that's why I felt good using this question. Brody's change his answer.

[Seth]

I changed mine back to my original.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. What is the.

[Giannis]

Oh, you can't do that.

[Spencer Newharth]

After I give you a nice typical American elk. Brody's just in the boon and cry.

[Brody]

I'll put it back. If Seth puts it back.

[Giannis]

I don't care.

[Seth]

I just thought that it was only a 5 inch difference.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maybe Yanni's wrong.

[Giannis]

So could be.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying 365. Sarah 375, Giannis 390. Corinne without an answer. And our two players left. We have Seth saying 370 which is what I had and Brody saying 380. The correct answer is 385. Brody was five inches off and is the winner. The minimum score for a Typical American elk is what? Yanni, do you know?

[Giannis]

360.

[Spencer Newharth]

360. For a Thule, it's 270. And for a Roosevelt's Elk, it's 275. Again, the answer for that one was 385 is the minimum score for a non typical American elk in the Boone and Crockett record book. All right, what are you gonna do with your 500 donation?

[Brody]

I got a request, but I gotta look it up real quick for the name to get the name right.

[Spencer Newharth]

The request out of Pennsylvania.

Yanni, what's the closest Boone and Crockett elk that you have at home? Anything?

[Giannis]

Not even close. Biggest one I've killed is I think around 305.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Nothing that's that. Like this one might make it.

[Giannis]

No, no. Okay.

This is coming from Phil in Pennsylvania. We're gonna donate to the French Creek Valley Conservancy. French Creek said it's more like a river that I used to fish a lot and it's a very pristine stream. It's not dammed up. Has a lot of species that were around back when George Washington was around. He almost died on French Creek. Canoe tipped over. So we're French Creek Valley Conservancy.

[Seth]

Close, but not close enough.
