Air Date: October 29, 2025

Theme: Outdoor and wildlife trivia competition, featuring 10 listener-submitted questions across hunting, fishing, conservation, and wild foods.

Overview

This lively episode of The MeatEater Podcast features the 188th installment of MeatEater Trivia. Host Brody Henderson puts an all-star panel through their paces with ten tough listener-submitted questions, each rooted in topics like conservation, outdoor gear, wildlife history, and hunting lore. The trivia winner claims a $500 donation to the conservation organization of their choice, all while panelists banter, debate, and drop knowledge (and gripes) between rounds.

Brody’s goal for this episode is clear: prove trivia questions from listeners can be every bit as sharp, surprising, and challenging as those penned by the podcast crew. The questions spur entertaining detours, friendly trash talk, and surprising facts—plus a few heated debates about the correct answers.

[Brody Henderson]

Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Brody Henderson and today I'm joined by Steve, Steven Ornella, Spencer Newharth, Randall Williams, Seth Morris, Logan Dove ain't here. Tressa Croker and Roman. How do you say your last name? Roman. That's what it looks like. I didn't want to mess it up.

[Steve Rinella]

Do it again, Snowbrick. Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

This is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals, kind of. Which are based on hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there's a prize. Meteor will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Okay, Stat of the week. This week, the stat of the week is the number 10. That's right. We're doing an entire episode. All 10 questions of listener submitted questions.

[Steve Rinella]

The answer is 10.

[Brody Henderson]

And I'd like to point out that Spencer has no faith in you, our faithful listeners. When I asked him about doing this, he said it couldn't be done because he has to weed through hun hundreds of listener questions just to get a few usable ones. I realize now he's probably just a current concerned about his own job security because I got a bunch of great questions.

[Steve Rinella]

All of these are listener questions.

[Randall Williams]

I had the same idea for the episode I'm hosting.

[Spencer Newhart]

You can do that.

[Steve Rinella]

I had the idea that because I hang out with Brody, that I would sort of know what he's thinking and I would get him. All right. But now it's not even Brody's questions I like.

[Brody Henderson]

So you're halfway there.

[Spencer Newhart]

Listen to your podcast.

[Steve Rinella]

You'd be like, me and Steve would like that question.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, a bunch of good questions. I did have to tweak and reword most of them, but I still think they're great.

[Steve Rinella]

Like a little dig, like a little subtle dig at people. Of course, I had to rewrite everything.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, yeah, some of them worked out better, you know, a little differently. If you don't like them, don't blame me. Blame your fellow listeners.

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh, good idea.

[Randall Williams]

Masterful strategy.

[Brody Henderson]

We don't have any housekeeping to address today, but we do have an infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to triviator.com with the subject line IFAQ. This week, our IFAQ was submitted by our very own Stephen Rinella.

[Steve Rinella]

That's not true.

[Brody Henderson]

It is true, and I'll get to it. The question Steve asked me before the game was, who is playing? When I told him Randall was playing, he then went and asked Randall to sit this one out so he could, quote, come down there and kick everyone's ass. It's not a question we've had before.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah, you're right. That is an ifaq.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, we're gonna get. Get on to the game here. The. The carry index for today is a four and a half, but she submitted one of the questions. Oh, okay, so you gotta nix that one. So our winner should get at least a seven. Okay, and with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

[Spencer Newhart]

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Steve Rinella]

You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, our first listener question comes from Christy Elliott. The category is fishing. Got it, Phil. 10 states list this game fish as their state fish. Is it A, channel catfish, B, muskalonge, C, brook trout, d, tarpon. 10 states.

[Spencer Newhart]

Did your wife dm you brody her question?

[Brody Henderson]

No. I'll get to how the whole thing happened. It's a good story.

[Phil]

All right.

[Brody Henderson]

It was faded to be the way it be the way it is. 10 states list this game fish as their state fish. Channel catfish, muscaline, brook trout.

[Phil]

Hey, Steve, you've got a microphone over there.

[Steve Rinella]

I feel like I know it.

[Brody Henderson]

Randall, your hair looks particularly disheveled today. Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

[Randall Williams]

Well, I just. I just took off the beanie.

[Steve Rinella]

Did A Kirby the other day with his beanie on. He looks like. Oh, you're there. He looks like a hockey fan.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

They're really into hockey. They got the. The goes to the place, not from home.

[Spencer Newhart]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Like goes to the game.

[Spencer Newhart]

How much do you like hockey?

[Brody Henderson]

Can't say.

[Randall Williams]

I'm a huge hockey fan. I don't look like one. I don't dislike it. I haven't been to a game in years. Two years.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, is everyone ready?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, no.

[Brody Henderson]

Reveal your answers. We have Seth saying brook trout. Spencer, brook trout. Randall. What does that say? Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Catfish.

[Brody Henderson]

Catfish. Roman. Channel catfish. Tressa, brook trout. Steve Brookey. The answer is brook trout.

[Spencer Newhart]

Most popular state fish in the country.

[Brody Henderson]

Yep. A total of 10 states designate the brook trout as their official fish. Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. Coming in at second place are the striped bass and cutthroat trout. Each is listed as a state fish in seven states.

[Spencer Newhart]

New Englanders, they like that brook trout.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, yeah, man. I hate them out here. I like them back there.

[Steve Rinella]

If you could.

[Brody Henderson]

I don't hate them.

[Steve Rinella]

But picture you can make it to all states. Got rid of their state fish and then you erased all memory of it and they got to pick a new one.

[Brody Henderson]

Right.

[Steve Rinella]

It wouldn't be the same.

[Brody Henderson]

No, because the half the states don't really have many of them.

[Steve Rinella]

They wouldn't be Brookeys anymore.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

You just some channel cat states.

[Brody Henderson]

Yep. Yep.

[Spencer Newhart]

And they did. They did a lot of these back in like the 40s and 50s.

[Steve Rinella]

You have like 18 largemouth states.

[Brody Henderson]

Yes. Bunch of walleyes.

[Spencer Newhart]

And then Ohio would get one. I think they're the one state. There's maybe one or two states that don't even have a state fish.

[Brody Henderson]

Really?

[Spencer Newhart]

Ohio or Indiana.

[Randall Williams]

Ohio.

[Brody Henderson]

Just declare walleye.

[Spencer Newhart]

Maybe. I don't know.

[Brody Henderson]

They might have.

[Spencer Newhart]

I think they've tried Lake Erie.

[Brody Henderson]

Lake Erie.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, sorry.

[Brody Henderson]

Put in Bay I feel like.

[Randall Williams]

Don't take it personal.

[Phil]

Catfish would be a good one for a while.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Clearly, I was thinking hopefully when I.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, for this state, I'd go mountain whitefish man.

[Brody Henderson]

A native Yellowstone cut. I don't even know what. It's a west slope cut here, isn't it? Anyway, number two, this question. Next question is from Hunter Hodson, and it's also tied to a section of a new book me and Steve are currently working on. The category is history. Cornelia Fly Rod Crosby became this New England state's first registered hunting and fishing guide.

[Steve Rinella]

My marker isn't working. How to get a marker around here?

[Randall Williams]

So this does strike me as a bone for Steve.

[Brody Henderson]

What?

[Steve Rinella]

How is this a bone for me?

[Brody Henderson]

He hasn't read. Trust me, he has not. He has not seen this section of the book that I've worked on yet. Oh. What?

[Steve Rinella]

I know this is not why you think I know it.

[Randall Williams]

Well, I just liked it when Brody said he read the question, then he said this is actually comes from a book that Steve and I are.

[Brody Henderson]

I knew he had not seen this.

[Steve Rinella]

You don't know how I know.

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh, wow.

[Randall Williams]

You don't know how I know.

[Phil]

I've been fully supportive of you losing the headphones in the podcast studio, but I might ask you to put them back on your mic. Technique is just.

[Brody Henderson]

Just dog slouching. He wants to sit halfway between the mic and his sandwich.

[Steve Rinella]

What's I'm trying to do?

[Randall Williams]

Sandwich on the table.

[Brody Henderson]

Cornelia Fly Rod Crosby became this New England state's first registered hunting and fishing guide.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

People still thinking, you know what, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

I think so.

[Brody Henderson]

He thought he knew catfish too? No, I think he did.

[Randall Williams]

I. I wrote it. I scribbled it. As you were revealing the boards, I was still thinking between brook trout and catfish.

[Brody Henderson]

Everybody ready? Tressa? No answer. Just pick a New England state. You might get lucky.

[Spencer Newhart]

You got the first one right, didn't you?

[Brody Henderson]

Everybody reveal their answers. Seth Maine. Spencer Maine. Randall Maine. Roman Maine. Tressa doesn't know a New England state, and Steve's got Maine.

[Spencer Newhart]

Okay, do we all know it because. Did she kill the last.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah. Okay. Jesus Christ. You're not hosting, Spencer. Sorry.

[Spencer Newhart]

It's too much fun over here.

[Brody Henderson]

On March 19, 1897, the Maine Legislature passed a bill requiring hunting guides to register with state. Cornelia Flyrod Crosby was Maine's first registered hunting and fishing guide. In 1899, Crosby shot a bull caribou, which was Maine's last legally killed caribou. In addition, to being its first license guide. Maine's first license guide. She was also a marketing genius. She arranged an elaborate hunting display at the first annual Sportsman show in Madison Square Garden, starring herself, rifle in hand and wearing a daring knee length doeskin skirt.

[Spencer Newhart]

So what year was it when she killed the caribou?

[Brody Henderson]

1899.

[Spencer Newhart]

When do they think they disappeared from there for good?

[Brody Henderson]

Maybe 10 or 10 to 15 years later. I forget exactly. Yeah, it wasn't long.

[Steve Rinella]

I got a tidbit for you guys yesterday. We had on an author that wrote that new book, the Gales November, about the tragedy of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The last thing that was ever said by the captain, he said to another boat. They asked him how he had a list and all these problems and they. The last transmission from the Edmund Fitzgerald is, we are holding our own. Oh, he was interviewing family members and the granddaughter of that captain pulls her sleeve up and tattooed on our arm, we are holding our own.

[Brody Henderson]

That's an idea for you, Spencer Brody.

[Spencer Newhart]

New England folks will often complain that they don't get enough questions. So two for two for New England people.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newhart]

Good on you.

[Brody Henderson]

Yep. Okay, question three. Are we moving too fast, Philip?

[Phil]

Rather this way than like an hour and a half like Mark's episode filler in it.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah. Okay, here's one from Jackson Cunningham. The category is wildlife. This bird, which is commonly seen along fast, rocky rivers throughout the western United States and Canada, is America's only native aquatic songbird. The species goes by a couple different common names and I'll accept either. Go ahead and play. Play the song.

[Steve Rinella]

That's more of like. That's more like tidbit information.

[Brody Henderson]

I felt like, what, the song? Yeah, because I feel like I just wanted.

[Steve Rinella]

I figured no one's gonna be like, oh, I don't know. Then they hear that and like, oh, yeah, listen.

[Brody Henderson]

It's a songbird. We played a song, maybe.

[Steve Rinella]

Felt like timid information to me.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, you're not hosting.

[Spencer Newhart]

You have an answer? No.

[Steve Rinella]

Randall's had a rough go.

[Spencer Newhart]

Good, good, good.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, we like when Randall has a rough go.

[Randall Williams]

Birds, man.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, yeah, you are. He's famously anti turkey, I guarantee you. You have seen this bird?

[Randall Williams]

I'm sure I have. And I probably dismissed it as another bird.

[Steve Rinella]

Stupid bird.

[Brody Henderson]

He didn't even know what a turkey was until he shot his first one.

[Spencer Newhart]

I was in Yellowstone this winter and there were some birders pulled over watching, and I said, what are you looking at? It was this.

[Brody Henderson]

Yes.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yep.

[Brody Henderson]

I don't doubt.

[Steve Rinella]

Why would you have asked him that?

[Spencer Newhart]

I want to Know if it was something interesting, if I should care. I didn't.

[Steve Rinella]

Dude. The last thing in the world I would do.

[Brody Henderson]

Everyone got an answer.

[Spencer Newhart]

In my head. There was like a 25% chance and.

[Steve Rinella]

Ask some guy what he's looking at. I would rather North America.

[Spencer Newhart]

Let me. Let me tell you. It was January, though, so they were like, nobody was in the park. So I was like, oh, these people are here for a reason. There must be something good to see.

[Steve Rinella]

I show my answer.

[Brody Henderson]

North. No. North America's only native songbird. Y' all got answers. Flip them over. Set says the American Dipper. Spencer. American Dipper. Randall. No answer. Roman warbler. Tressa Meadowlark. Steve Ouzel. The answer is the American dipper or water oozel. Oh, I've heard. I'll give it to Steve since he's never here.

[Spencer Newhart]

How do you spell that? I never heard of that.

[Steve Rinella]

O, O, Z, L E. I like that.

[Brody Henderson]

O U, Z E, L. That's this. How's it spelled? O U, Z, E, L. Oh, it is, yeah. For a writer, you're not a great speller.

[Randall Williams]

Oof.

[Steve Rinella]

We want them to come back sometimes. I sometimes get a word where autofill can't even tell what I'm talking about.

[Phil]

That makes me feel good.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay. The name Ouzel comes from the old English word ozel, meaning blackbird. The water. The water prefix was added to distinguish the American dipper from its European counterparts. Because of its aquatic habitat, American dippers are found near or in rocky, fast flowing streams in Alaska and the western United States and Canada. They're the only songbirds in North America that feed entirely underwater. Dippers hunt aquatic insects along the stream bed by walking and swimming. They actually kind of fly through the water using their wings to propel themselves. The bird's name comes from its habit of dipping its body up and down while perched on rocks, a behavior that's used for various purposes like courtship and communication. And both male and female American dippers sing year round. And their song is described as a series of high whistles and trills telling.

[Steve Rinella]

You what you go to, like a stream after a big snowfall when that stream just looks like the least hospitable thing on the planet. And you see his little ass down in there swimming around. It's an impressive bird.

[Spencer Newhart]

They make a very interesting entrance, too. Like most birds who are hunting in the water, go in head first. They just like, do a cannonball in.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, I've noticed that.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah. It's just like they just like their feet stay feet down when they go in.

[Steve Rinella]

He does.

[Brody Henderson]

Pretty cool.

[Steve Rinella]

I picture him going in like a penguin.

[Brody Henderson]

You see him flying around in the water. It's pretty cool. Neat birds.

[Spencer Newhart]

Sweet.

[Steve Rinella]

If you could catch them on a rod.

[Randall Williams]

We should move on. We should move on before we lose all of our listeners who aren't interested in birds.

[Brody Henderson]

I think a lot of people are interested in birds.

[Randall Williams]

No, but I know there's an important segment. It's a slice of the pie.

[Brody Henderson]

I think it's just because you missed the question. Random. Here's yet another listener question.

[Spencer Newhart]

Listeners are three for three.

[Brody Henderson]

Another listener question from Nick Sakowski. I think I'm pronouncing that right. The category is hunting. This flowery term is used to describe a group of flushed pheasants in flight.

[Phil]

What?

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, you can really hear that clock ticking. This flowery term is used to describe a group of flushed pheasants in flight.

[Spencer Newhart]

Think I've got it.

[Steve Rinella]

I think I got it. By the luck. Just by pure thinking.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah. Thinking's not luck.

[Spencer Newhart]

Randall's having a tough go with this.

[Randall Williams]

I know I actually. I know this.

[Spencer Newhart]

Another bird question.

[Randall Williams]

I know I know this somewhere. Oh, geez.

[Brody Henderson]

It's a very flowery term, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

I know. That's what I'm hung up on.

[Brody Henderson]

A crazy.

[Spencer Newhart]

Threw in. Very there. The question just says flowery. Seth isn't going to pick up his whiteboard for this one.

[Phil]

Not yet. Trying to dig deep, Spencer.

[Brody Henderson]

We'll give you a little time.

[Spencer Newhart]

Jeb.

[Brody Henderson]

Flowery turn.

[Phil]

I'm sure I've heard of it.

[Steve Rinella]

Let me see. Why are you guys showing each other?

[Spencer Newhart]

That's what I have.

[Randall Williams]

Cuz I have nothing to lose.

[Steve Rinella]

Let me see what you got. I'm not going to change. I'm. I swear to God I'm not changing mine.

[Spencer Newhart]

It.

[Brody Henderson]

No, no, you can't. After show. No across table showing. It's got to be your neighbor. Yeah.

[Spencer Newhart]

Brody's like the founder of this.

[Randall Williams]

When you're down 2, though. When you're down 2, do anything you want.

[Steve Rinella]

In all fairness, I didn't want Spencer or you to be here. Randall. Yeah, he just.

[Brody Henderson]

Good.

[Spencer Newhart]

I'd like to know that.

[Randall Williams]

I know I. Seth was okay, though.

[Steve Rinella]

Brody came to me and said it was. It was. I don't want to use the word he used, but he came and said to me it was right for the pickens down here. And then I come down and he's like, well, not really, because Spencer and Randall. Oh, good. But he thought it was right for the pickings. I don't know what the hell I said that?

[Phil]

I've been competitive lately.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, Seth is gonna excuse himself from the game.

[Randall Williams]

Nate won. Nate won.

[Steve Rinella]

I think he was just baiting me into coming just for no reason.

[Brody Henderson]

Man, of course we like having you around. Okay, you guys ready? Seth, you gonna come up?

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, go for it.

[Brody Henderson]

All right, flip them over. Spencer says bouquet. Randall, Bouquet, Roman nothing. Bushel. Bouquet even gave the correct pronunciation here.

[Phil]

Yeah, phonetic.

[Brody Henderson]

The answer is bouquet.

[Phil]

Bouquet. I never heard that.

[Steve Rinella]

I don't know how to spell it. Is that right?

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah, I spelled it.

[Brody Henderson]

B, O, U, Q, U, E, T. Oh, nail it. I was missing the second year the dirt. The term bouquet of essence was part of a larger linguistic tradition known as terms of venery. Specialized vocabulary used by hunters in the middle ages that served as a way for the upper class hunters to demonstrate their knowledge and reinforce social status.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh.

[Brody Henderson]

A bouquet of pheasants specifically refers to the moment a group of male pheasants burst into the air, showcasing their vivid iridescent plumage and a flurry of color.

[Steve Rinella]

Brody's tearing at a new one at the tidbit song.

[Randall Williams]

I thought we went long on oozel.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah, well, bouquet is perfect for them. That's very fitting. Yeah, we like that.

[Brody Henderson]

Colorful birds. Got a couple of those on the youth hunt the other day. Number five. Our next question is the listener question of the week from Jameson Teague. Spencer, what does Jameson get for submitting this?

[Spencer Newhart]

He gets a board game signed by the crew. And we are currently in our best batch of board games signed by the crew because I happen to have them around when all of our out of town folks were here as well. So you're getting the rare edition, Some.

[Brody Henderson]

Extra game signed by the extra special.

[Steve Rinella]

You ever let Cratchit there?

[Phil]

Sign them.

[Spencer Newhart]

I tell Phil. Phil, Corinne. They both sign them.

[Brody Henderson]

Mm. Okay, question five. The pisser or pee hole on an outboard motor is also known by what eight letter term that means to reveal information.

[Spencer Newhart]

Hmm.

[Brody Henderson]

What? I made this a listener question of the week because I knew it'd be a tough one. The P hole on an outboard motor is also known by what eight letter term that means to reveal information.

[Phil]

I've spent a lot of time freaking messing with these things.

[Brody Henderson]

And I looked this one up just to make sure that it's not like, some random information. Wacky, like, rare thing.

[Phil]

Yep.

[Brody Henderson]

It's like. It's a term that gets used.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, man. Gonna have to give me a while.

[Phil]

Means to reveal information.

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh, man.

[Randall Williams]

Eight letters, huh?

[Spencer Newhart]

I only get seven.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I keep getting Seven.

[Steve Rinella]

I got a niner.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, is this gonna be a zero percent?

[Steve Rinella]

Just hold tight.

[Brody Henderson]

I can give you a little more info if you want.

[Steve Rinella]

If you really.

[Spencer Newhart]

No.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

You got an eight letter word, Spencer.

[Spencer Newhart]

No, I. Seven. For the third time.

[Phil]

Spencer. I already told Randall. My son had rehearsal last night for the play that I did not need to attend. And so I wandered around downtown. I went into shine just in time to start a game of trivia just by myself. I ended up winning.

[Spencer Newhart]

Hell yeah.

[Phil]

Beat teams of eight people. Seven people. So. And I got. I won tickets to a Margot Price concert on Halloween that I can't go to. So if anyone wants to attend the concert.

[Spencer Newhart]

Who's Margot Price?

[Phil]

Like a country folk.

[Steve Rinella]

She's got a couple good tunes.

[Spencer Newhart]

Okay.

[Steve Rinella]

She's got some good tracks. Good for you.

[Phil]

I just feel proud of myself.

[Steve Rinella]

Just hold tight.

[Brody Henderson]

No little tidbit clue.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, I'll take a tidbit.

[Brody Henderson]

I would say that this term is mostly used as an adjective. Oh, geez. But it could be a noun also.

[Steve Rinella]

That's not even kind of helpful.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, well, that's all you get. How long we've been stuck on this question, Phil?

[Phil]

It's been a while. I have. There's a little marker that shows how long the clock has been ticking and it's past the halfway point, which doesn't happen often.

[Spencer Newhart]

I give up on this one. Give me an example of a question from last night.

[Phil]

Oh, it was all Halloween themed. Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newhart]

Is that right up your alley?

[Phil]

Not really. But I won the game. Halloween. It was Halloween. Gen Ed. There were three rounds. Two were celebrities dressed as other celebrities, and you had to say which celebrity they were dressed as. It was fun, good hosting. And the third one was like, you know, they play a Halloween song or like a spooky song, you have to list the song and the artist. So each question was worth two points.

[Spencer Newhart]

That is up your alley, though.

[Phil]

That one was up my alley.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

All right. Is anyone gonna come up with something? Doesn't look like it. Flip them over if you got anything. What's that say, Spencer Divulger. Divulge.

[Steve Rinella]

I had that for a while.

[Brody Henderson]

Nothing. Nothing. Discover. Dispense.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, I'm dispensing some information to you, buddy.

[Brody Henderson]

No one got it. The answer is telltale.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, what?

[Phil]

Never heard of that?

[Steve Rinella]

Never.

[Brody Henderson]

That is look it up. I made sure it's like. I made sure it's not hours I.

[Steve Rinella]

Spent putting wires and 80 pound braid. Amount of fluorocarbon up.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm gonna talk about that. The telltale Discharges a steady weed whack record. The telltale discharges a steady stream of water from an outboard engine, indicating the water cooling system is working properly.

[Steve Rinella]

Warming my hands up in that stuff.

[Phil]

Oh, that's the best.

[Brody Henderson]

If the telltale is not working and the engine continues to run for an extension extended period of time, your outboard motor could suffer damage or complete failure. An easy way to clear a clogged telltale is to scour it out with a heavy, stiff piece of monofilament or fluorocarbon.

[Steve Rinella]

Can I give it. Well, let me give you an added tidbit because we found this out this year. We were taking stainless wire and run stainless wire up there, and all you wind up doing is putting a hole. Yeah, you put a hole in the back line and like go up there and you're like, oh, it's working now. And then you take the cowling off.

[Brody Henderson]

Spraying salt water in your motor.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newhart]

The hose attachment, if you're working on that in your yard, I've always called the earmuffs. Does that have a special name?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, but a lot of them have a direct connection to a hose now.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, they got a mile. Yeah, I had a little tidbit. Is warming your hands up there. Yeah. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And taking apart water jackets on the side of a river.

[Brody Henderson]

Jameson t. Terrible fun. 0 percenter, but he's still getting the listener question.

[Steve Rinella]

I don't think it's true, but.

[Randall Williams]

I. I question the definition of telltale.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, I think it's not true.

[Spencer Newhart]

I only ever hear that said with sign.

[Randall Williams]

I just think there's. There's probably an alternate definition of telltale. That's more of a tell.

[Brody Henderson]

You can argue all you want, buddy. That's what it's called.

[Steve Rinella]

If you. Here's. You put telltale into your phone, just enter in Google and then you tell me, Brody, you start scrolling tomorrow. Take a day you guys can keep. And you start scrolling.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

And you tell me how many days into scrolling you. Before you run into that being used.

[Brody Henderson]

As a term reveal or indicating something.

[Phil]

Get some Edgar Allen post.

[Brody Henderson]

That's just one definition. I can keep going.

[Steve Rinella]

Start scrolling. And you tell me when you come into something about the pissing, I'll let it slide. Type pisser in there and see how far you got to scroll.

[Brody Henderson]

Phil, do we have a scoreboard?

[Phil]

Probably get a couple year olds. Everybody's on the board. Roman and Tressa have one point. Randall has two, Seth has three. And Steve's worst nightmare, he is tied up with Spencer. Four points in first place.

[Brody Henderson]

Tight one. Tight one for Steven Spencer. Maybe Randall will make a roaring comeback here in the second half.

[Steve Rinella]

He's floundering.

[Randall Williams]

All better questions.

[Steve Rinella]

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, number six. This one is from Jay Henlich. The category is science. What species of North American big game animal was the first living creature to be ejected from an aircraft at supersonic speeds? Wow.

[Spencer Newhart]

Big game animal.

[Brody Henderson]

Please comment.

[Steve Rinella]

Like horned and antler.

[Spencer Newhart]

Like is it in the moon and Crockett?

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, like, what do you mean?

[Spencer Newhart]

Is it one of the 29 things in the Boone and Crockett record?

[Brody Henderson]

Yes.

[Steve Rinella]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

I wouldn't have said big game animal if it was. Okay, you got a 1 in 29 chance. What species of North American big game animal was the first living creature to be ejected from an aircraft at supersonic speed?

[Steve Rinella]

They spring those monkeys up into space.

[Brody Henderson]

I'll get to that. They're.

[Randall Williams]

They're apes, Steve. They're not monkeys. I just finished reading the right stuff and I don't believe that's in there.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, hey, that's a good movie too. I like that book.

[Brody Henderson]

And read the wrong stuff.

[Phil]

Yes.

[Steve Rinella]

My boy. I couldn't get my. My boy into it.

[Randall Williams]

Really? Well, do they have all the stuff? I haven't seen the movie. Do they have all the stuff about the chimpanzees in the movie?

[Steve Rinella]

I can't remember. He couldn't get into it.

[Phil]

God.

[Randall Williams]

I was reading. I. I just couldn't stop reading about conditioning animals for space flight and. Fabulous.

[Brody Henderson]

Has everyone got an answer? Roman and Tressa are still working.

[Randall Williams]

A lot more drinking and driving in that book than I would have thought.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, they do that a lot.

[Steve Rinella]

Ready?

[Brody Henderson]

No, we gotta wait for these guys. Come up with something. You guys ready?

[Steve Rinella]

It ain't gonna be that.

[Brody Henderson]

Flip them over. I don't think so either. We got black bear from Seth Spencer Randall. Roman. Tressa says moose and Steve says black bear. You guys got it? The answer is the American Black Bear. On March 21, 1962, a two year old black bear named Yogi was ejected from a US Air Force Convair B58A Hustler bomber flying at approximately Mach 1.3 or 870 miles an hour. The purpose of the test was to prove the safety and performance of the B58's new supersonic ejection capsule. The bear survived the ejection and landed safely seven minutes and 49 seconds later. However, Yogi was later euthanized to study the physical effects of the ejection. Since bears have similar physiology to humans.

[Steve Rinella]

I would use the murder convict.

[Phil]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.

[Brody Henderson]

The Air Force later used other bears and chimpanzees for further ejection tests.

[Steve Rinella]

Like federal death row type guy?

[Brody Henderson]

Sure.

[Phil]

Like a lot of murders, serial killer stuff.

[Brody Henderson]

Like you ejected him and then I would have said.

[Steve Rinella]

I said, listen, buddy, your debt to society is due.

[Spencer Newhart]

That wouldn't be such a bad deal if you were facing.

[Steve Rinella]

If you put out a call for volunteers on federal death row, you'd get guys be like, I'll do that.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Especially if they can do it with the black bear in the capsule.

[Brody Henderson]

If you survive till the end.

[Spencer Newhart]

So it was in a capsule that like had a parachute attached or what?

[Brody Henderson]

I'm assuming, yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

He's not in the capsule probably.

[Brody Henderson]

He's probably just open air. Supersonic escape capsule.

[Phil]

Yeah. No chance of survival if he was just freebody.

[Steve Rinella]

I don't know that. So when you eject at supersonic speeds, you eject in some kind of cockpit canister.

[Brody Henderson]

I assume they still do it the same way.

[Spencer Newhart]

I didn't know that.

[Brody Henderson]

Not for. I don't know.

[Spencer Newhart]

Someone will write in and correct us.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, some pie.

[Steve Rinella]

Chuck Yeager be writing in some bear.

[Brody Henderson]

Number seven is coming from Wade Peters. The category is forestry. This invasive beetle is responsible for the destruction of hundreds of millions of trees in the northeastern United States.

[Phil]

I think there's a couple of them in there.

[Spencer Newhart]

Glad you other guys don't look confident either.

[Steve Rinella]

I know him, but I don't know what the hell his name is.

[Brody Henderson]

This invasive beetle is responsible for the destruction of hundreds of millions of trees in the northeastern unit states. Anyone know they got the answer right? Nope, man. It's not. This would be an easy one.

[Spencer Newhart]

It's a bug that trees don't like. But I don't know if it's this bug. I don't even know if it's a beetle.

[Brody Henderson]

I really thought this one would be a slam dunk.

[Spencer Newhart]

I'm not going to change, man.

[Brody Henderson]

Let me see yours.

[Steve Rinella]

Come on.

[Spencer Newhart]

That's what you have?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, all right. Everyone got an answer?

[Phil]

I. I have something different than you, Spencer, but I think it's that and the one I have.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, okay.

[Spencer Newhart]

Well, someone's gonna have to argue with Brody.

[Brody Henderson]

I'll listen.

[Steve Rinella]

Let's all show.

[Brody Henderson]

Seth has Asian longhorn beetle. Spencer has emerald ash borer. Randall emerald ash borer, Pine beetle, box elder spruce beetle.

[Steve Rinella]

That's what I meant as pine beetle.

[Brody Henderson]

The answer is emerald ash.

[Spencer Newhart]

Like that.

[Randall Williams]

That's nice.

[Brody Henderson]

Originally discovered in the US and Detroit in 2002, the Beatles likely arrived several years earlier as stowaways and pallets and packing materials on Chinese cargo ships. The emerald ash borer has caused devastating ecological and economic impacts by killing tens of millions of ash trees in North Americ. Its larvae feed on the inner bark, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. This has resulted in billions of dollars in costs for municipalities and property owners. It has also opened up forest canopies and impacted native wildlife and allowed other invasive species to flourish.

[Spencer Newhart]

When I lived in South Dakota, I had one in my boulevard that the city had to come and take a look at. They determined it was not at risk. Did not have any emerald ash bores in it yet.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm waiting for Seth.

[Spencer Newhart]

Still.

[Brody Henderson]

Stand them up, Seth.

[Spencer Newhart]

I'm glad you get to argue. Not me.

[Phil]

It's gonna take some time.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, fine. Well, anybody else got an emerald ash borer anecdote? Yeah, I'll look it up.

[Spencer Newhart]

What'd you have, Steve?

[Brody Henderson]

Asian longhorn spruce beetle.

[Steve Rinella]

Just something stupid. I was bested.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, you don't hear that often.

[Steve Rinella]

I was just clean out best.

[Brody Henderson]

God, I wish I was still looking it up.

[Steve Rinella]

Let's keep rolling.

[Spencer Newhart]

What do you think it is, Seth? The longhorn beetle.

[Brody Henderson]

Asian longhorn beetle.

[Spencer Newhart]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Seth, I'm inclined to give it to you.

[Steve Rinella]

You think it's the same beetle?

[Brody Henderson]

No.

[Steve Rinella]

The longhorn beetle also killed millions. Millions in the Northeast.

[Spencer Newhart]

Millions.

[Brody Henderson]

Asian longhorn beetle causes significant damage to forests and urban trees by fatally boring into maple, ash, birch. And I'm gonna give millions. I'm gonna give it.

[Spencer Newhart]

It doesn't.

[Steve Rinella]

It doesn't target a specific tree. It goes after all of them. A thousand.

[Phil]

Thousand.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm giving it to Seth.

[Spencer Newhart]

Forest should have a forester from Pennsylvania.

[Brody Henderson]

To settle this right in, folks.

[Phil]

If I'm wrong, sounds like I'm wrong.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm giving it a question.

[Randall Williams]

They will retroactively submit one point from Seth's losing score.

[Steve Rinella]

That's like when the press corrects a story. No one reads that stuff like it comes out. Everybody's like, oh, my God. Then later, they're like, oh, that wasn't true. Yeah. Going later and correcting it that you're wrong later, you're still gonna seem right.

[Brody Henderson]

I should. I should have made sure it wasn't just that.

[Randall Williams]

No, Brody, you did good.

[Steve Rinella]

You did good.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, question number eight is from Tracy Habaker. The category is gear. This outdoor industry, known for their iconic yellow logo, released the minimalist Five Finger Shoe in 2006.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah.

[Phil]

I'm feeling bad for making fun of Mark for having a long episode, because my episode was also long. So I'm sorry, Mark. I've been thinking about that for the last 25 minutes.

[Brody Henderson]

Are you getting at that? I'm having a long episode, Phil?

[Phil]

No, not at all.

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Brody Henderson]

He took a shot at him.

[Phil]

Shot at Mark Kenyon, which is just, you know, where Mark's was long.

[Randall Williams]

He used Mark as a benchmark for an episode that was too long. Earlier, when he was telling you yours wasn't too long.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, I didn't. I missed that part. This. This company, known for their outdoor industry company known for their iconic yellow logo, released the minimum minimalist Five Fingers shoe in 2006. You guys have all seen these things?

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

It's the worst.

[Brody Henderson]

Have you ever tried them?

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Brody Henderson]

I ran a marathon in them once and I got. You did.

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh, yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, I can imagine.

[Spencer Newhart]

Wow. It didn't feel very nice.

[Randall Williams]

I just felt like whenever I'd see someone wearing those in an airport, that it would be like. It's like traveling in your pajamas. I'm just, like, a little too familiar with your toe spread. Just a little too revealing for me. Sandals I'm fine with, but the toe thing just.

[Spencer Newhart]

I worked at Dunham's, like, six years after this, 2012. We sold a lot of those shoes, but I do not remember. No, no.

[Brody Henderson]

People need more time. I'll give you a little more time.

[Steve Rinella]

No, let's just do it, man.

[Brody Henderson]

You guys ready? Flip them over. Hold on, hold on. Seth says Vibram. Spencer Marsupial. Randall Vibram. Roman Vibram. Tressa Vibram Body Glove.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, it's not right.

[Brody Henderson]

The answer is Vibram.

[Phil]

It's heating up.

[Steve Rinella]

What?

[Spencer Newhart]

You have, Spencer Marsupial.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, good.

[Brody Henderson]

Originally designed to give yacht racers traction on slippery wet surfaces, Vibram's five finger shoes were adopted by runners, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who wanted a shoe that mimicked moving around barefoot in nature while still protecting their feet with a grippy Vibram performance rubber sole.

[Steve Rinella]

The feeling of having something between your toes all day long. Dude.

[Brody Henderson]

Does anyone else know the logo now? Right?

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Spencer Newhart]

Picture does anyone else make five finger shoes or are they, like, the only.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm sure that someone else has picked it up by.

[Steve Rinella]

What's the score?

[Brody Henderson]

That was. That was question number eight. So we'll get a score.

[Steve Rinella]

No. Can I just take a quick peek now, though?

[Brody Henderson]

No, no. We're getting right now.

[Phil]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, right.

[Spencer Newhart]

Phil's going to be really generous. Show us.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, man. Wow.

[Phil]

Spencer.

[Brody Henderson]

Two. Two.

[Randall Williams]

The old longhorn beetle might.

[Phil]

Tressa has two points, Roman has three. And then the players left in the game are Randall and Steve.

[Steve Rinella]

Question we have.

[Spencer Newhart]

We're still in it.

[Phil]

And Seth and Spencer with six.

[Spencer Newhart]

We got two.

[Steve Rinella]

Randall, timey.

[Brody Henderson]

You missed a couple. Yeah, yeah.

[Steve Rinella]

It's gotta be.

[Brody Henderson]

It must be it.

[Steve Rinella]

Okay. Stay away from the birds.

[Randall Williams]

I'll be good.

[Brody Henderson]

Randall's in a much better mood than he was. A few questions back.

[Steve Rinella]

His hair is laying down.

[Brody Henderson]

He's not beet red anymore.

[Steve Rinella]

No, no, I am.

[Randall Williams]

I actually feel myself getting red. It's quite warm in here. That's why I took the hat off.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay. Question number nine was submitted by my lovely wife, Carrie. The category is public lands. In 2015, the United States Mint released a quarter featuring what game bird? What?

[Steve Rinella]

Do you know this?

[Brody Henderson]

In 2015, the United States Mint released a quarter featuring what game bird? Got it. Got one in my pocket right now.

[Spencer Newhart]

Oh.

[Steve Rinella]

You notice?

[Brody Henderson]

Not the bird. The coin.

[Spencer Newhart]

Maybe.

[Phil]

I was gonna say.

[Spencer Newhart]

30 chance. I have it right.

[Steve Rinella]

Can we put down three?

[Brody Henderson]

No.

[Steve Rinella]

Oh, one of them is the one.

[Brody Henderson]

No, you can put down three, but you gotta pick one.

[Steve Rinella]

I might do that.

[Brody Henderson]

Pick a game bird. That was on the 2015. A 2015 quarter.

[Spencer Newhart]

I'm feeling more confident.

[Phil]

It's like a state quarter.

[Spencer Newhart]

I'm feeling more confident because I won't say why.

[Steve Rinella]

Well, I came in hot. You gotta admit, when I came in here.

[Brody Henderson]

Has everyone got an answer?

[Steve Rinella]

What do you got?

[Brody Henderson]

Flip them over, suckers. Seth says woodcock. Spencer, wild turkey. Randall says turkey, which is not a game bird.

[Phil]

Sure it is.

[Brody Henderson]

No, Roman says pheasant. Tressa says woodcock. Steve says wild turkey.

[Spencer Newhart]

I think it was.

[Brody Henderson]

Sir, is the wild turkey good deal.

[Spencer Newhart]

Because of the Kasachi National Forest?

[Brody Henderson]

Spencer, you're too smart for your own good.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, yeah, I can pull back ahead of Randall.

[Brody Henderson]

No, hold on. Let me give you the text here.

[Spencer Newhart]

Bullying Brody, right?

[Brody Henderson]

As part of the America the beautiful program, the 2015 Quarter. Gotta dig it out. Features a wild turkey in flight to honor the Kasatchi National Forest in Louisiana. The Kasashi National Forest totals more than 604,000 acres of public, public land, bayous, cypress groves, and old growth pine forests. A total of 56 quarter launchers were executed from 2010 to 2021 before the program ended. The quarters honored 31 national parks, seven national monuments, five national forests, three historic sites, two national wildlife refuges, two national recreation areas, two national lakeshores, and one national preserve. And a couple other. Couple artists.

[Spencer Newhart]

Good for the turkey.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, I'd like to have one of those quarters.

[Phil]

Yeah, it's a cool quarter.

[Brody Henderson]

Did you put it in your body?

[Spencer Newhart]

Will sell it to you.

[Steve Rinella]

24 cents.

[Brody Henderson]

All right, Phil, do we get one last update here?

[Phil]

Well, we need clarification on whether or not Randall got that.

[Steve Rinella]

No, of course not. Weekend wild turkeys. Yes. It could have been oscillated.

[Randall Williams]

It's a game bird.

[Steve Rinella]

Could have been a white ladies or game birds.

[Brody Henderson]

Could have been a white farm.

[Randall Williams]

As an oscillated turkey. Not a wild turkey.

[Brody Henderson]

No, no.

[Steve Rinella]

You know what we talking about.

[Brody Henderson]

We'll give it to him. Why?

[Steve Rinella]

Well, what were you doing this week?

[Randall Williams]

You know we're out after wild turkeys.

[Steve Rinella]

Yes, I would say that. What are you drinking? Wild turkey.

[Randall Williams]

That's what everybody says around the office. Going out for wild turkeys.

[Brody Henderson]

I think you should learn to be more specific with your answers.

[Randall Williams]

Fill your wild turkey tags.

[Spencer Newhart]

Well, I guess, yeah, if we're. We have to give it to Randall because we probably should have put eastern turkey would be my guess.

[Steve Rinella]

You're going hunting turkeys? I'm always like, what do you mean?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I don't believe in all the Wilders. They're all wild.

[Steve Rinella]

Okay, well, here we are.

[Phil]

Tressa 2, Roman 3. Now we are down to Seth Randall.

[Steve Rinella]

I still have a pathway.

[Phil]

Dude, very nervous answer is one point ahead with seven.

[Brody Henderson]

In fact. I like your odds, Steve.

[Steve Rinella]

I don't like mine.

[Brody Henderson]

The final question, it all comes down to this. Or. Or we'll have a tiebreaker.

[Steve Rinella]

What's in Steve's pocket?

[Brody Henderson]

Our last question is from Gail Donovan. According to meat eaters, Danielle Pruitt. So don't argue about this after the answer. It's according to meteors. Danielle Pruitt. What is the largest and heaviest cut of meat on a deer's hindquarter?

[Spencer Newhart]

What?

[Brody Henderson]

Primal cut, like main cut? You went quick there.

[Steve Rinella]

I mean, I don't know what the hell she's calling it.

[Brody Henderson]

You never pull it. It's a very common name. Like, it ain't gonna be like, really? What's that? Just envision yourself separating all those and.

[Randall Williams]

Then labeling them in the same way that Danielle Does.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, it's not like. Danielle is not the only one that does it. Like, everyone does it.

[Steve Rinella]

Someone wrote this in?

[Brody Henderson]

Yes. Why are you so angry about this question?

[Steve Rinella]

It's because you set it up like it was like a gimme to me.

[Brody Henderson]

I figured you. I figured you would.

[Spencer Newhart]

As a cookbook author.

[Phil]

She just did a video on this.

[Steve Rinella]

I just.

[Phil]

Just.

[Steve Rinella]

I feel a lot better if it said what is the.

[Brody Henderson]

I put according to Danielle Pruitt. So people can't be.

[Steve Rinella]

Well, like on the deer eye shot. This one looks happier. That's exactly how they talk.

[Brody Henderson]

Not on the buck I shot.

[Steve Rinella]

That's what it sounds like. Man. Roman hasn't said since he came down here.

[Brody Henderson]

No, he's been quiet.

[Randall Williams]

No, he pronounced his name for you.

[Brody Henderson]

You guys all got an answer.

[Spencer Newhart]

Good contribution.

[Brody Henderson]

All right, this is big. Flip them over. Seth says top round. Spencer, top round. Randall says round.

[Steve Rinella]

Wild round.

[Brody Henderson]

Steve says top round. No, it. The answer is bottom round. Oh, but I had round.

[Steve Rinella]

Yeah, same.

[Spencer Newhart]

That should count.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, I win. Anyway, we gave you turkey. We're not giving you that.

[Randall Williams]

I can't believe the turkey was even questioned.

[Brody Henderson]

There's three different rounds on the. On the hindquarter. The bottom round is the largest muscle on the hind quarter. It can be sliced into thin strips for jerky, pounded into cutlets for chicken fried steak, cube for stew meat, or ground into burger and sausage. If you want to check it out, go to themed eater.com and. And look at Danielle's article, how to butcher a hindquarter. And like Seth said, she's also got a video that just came out.

[Spencer Newhart]

Wow.

[Brody Henderson]

What does that mean, Phil?

[Phil]

What's that? Scoreboard.

[Steve Rinella]

Let's take a look.

[Phil]

That means Spencer Newhart.

[Spencer Newhart]

That's right.

[Phil]

Is our winner.

[Randall Williams]

Right on the index.

[Brody Henderson]

Way to go, Spencer.

[Spencer Newhart]

The index was nine.

[Randall Williams]

No, no, seven.

[Brody Henderson]

Seven. Oh, okay.

[Spencer Newhart]

Right on. Great. I am going to donate my $500 to pheasants forever. South Dakota just had their pheasant opener a few days ago. Nobody kills more pheasants than South Dakota. Big part of their economy. Big part of their hunting culture. Let's send $500 their way. Plus chickens. As a deer hunter, I benefited from all kinds of CRP back in my day. So let's. Let's keep that going.

[Brody Henderson]

Sounds good.

[Phil]

Spencer, do you know what your win percentage is?

[Brody Henderson]

It's.

[Phil]

It has to be crazy high. I feel like you win almost every.

[Steve Rinella]

I heard the other day. That's pretty high.

[Randall Williams]

But he does have access to the. To the listener question inbox.

[Spencer Newhart]

Not Brody's DM inbox is where these questions went.

[Randall Williams]

So fair enough.

[Spencer Newhart]

It was a clean, clean victory. Brody, you did good. Our listeners did good. Yeah, that's a good batch of questions.

[Phil]

You're good.

[Brody Henderson]

You let me down at the end there, Steve.

[Steve Rinella]

I know. Hot too man. You saw. Join us next week.

[Brody Henderson]

Thanks Spencer. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota.

[Steve Rinella]

He's the host.

[Brody Henderson]

Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.

[Steve Rinella]

And he likes taking those two and.

[Brody Henderson]

Three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
