Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Corey, John, Marge, Max, Nate and Sarah. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization. Of the winners choosing we have an IFAQ this week. If you have an IFAQ, send it to [e-mail] with the subject line IFAQ. Skyler Brammer says I would get discouraged losing all the time to Brody and Randall. Did the jabronis, did the jabronis get sad? Never consider not playing.

[Phil]

No, no. Very frustrated.

[Marge]

It's a nice break from the other work at the office.

[Corey]

You just got to have fun with it. And embrace the jabroni ness.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, it's. It's only jabronis here today, so there is no Brody or Randall to lose to.

[Max]

Here's a question. What if you were to win the, like, jabroni championship?

[Spencer Newarth]

Like Corey.

[Max]

Corey. Does he get an invite to the real championship?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

[Max]

And then what if he won the real championship?

[Spencer Newarth]

He's not a jabroni anymore.

[Max]

It's kind of like. What was that soccer team?

[Sarah]

That's like Premier League soccer. Like, you get relegated.

[Max]

Spurs or whoever.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ted Lasso.

[Max]

Yeah, don't know. That is. I don't think that's spectacular.

[Phil]

Also, according to Nate, There Will Be Blood is quote whack.

[Max]

I watched like is. Go watch it if you haven't seen it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate came in with a real jabroni take this morning telling Phil that he didn't like that movie. No, I didn't say that at all.

[Max]

I enjoyed it, but it was whack.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, but it was whack. So six jabronis in the room today. No Brody or Randall to defeat them. We have some housekeeping. On a previous episode of Trivia, we had a question about what item fur companies will trade for deer hides. The correct answer was gloves, but a few listeners wrote in saying they know of businesses that will do the exchange for a knife instead of gloves. And the day we played, Marge said knife but did not get credit for a correct answer. So we're fixing that today. Marge, you got that one right for saying knife. Well done.

[Marge]

Great. I still lost.

[Spencer Newarth]

One more extra. I did two weeks removed. Some more housekeeping. Also, we have a brand new game over on the Meat Eater website. On Mondays we have Meat Eater turtle. It's like wordle but better. On Wednesdays we have Meat Eater crossword puzzles. And now on Fridays, we have Meat Eater word search. Word search might sound elementary, but I think it is the hardest we have between all three games. Because unlike most word searches, we don't tell you what words you're searching for. We just tell you the theme of the words and it's your job to find them. The first three word searches are available on our website right now. The theme of the first one is fishing lures. The second one is Boone and Crockett whitetail states, and the third one is birds. So, for example, you know that you're searching for the top five Boone and Crockett whitetail states in the grid of letters.

[Marge]

But.

[Spencer Newarth]

But we don't tell you what those states are. We always provide crew member scores for you to Go head to head with. For crosswords it's Randall. For turtle, it's Giannis. And for word search, it's Nate. So head over to the media.com games to check out word search and see if you can best Nate Mason. New games drop three times a week.

[Corey]

How's it been, Nate?

[Max]

It's hard.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah, I like it.

[Corey]

Cool.

[Spencer Newarth]

I can see how long folks spend playing the each individual game. Word search takes people the most amount of time to finish.

[Corey]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Spencer Newarth]

So Nate is being a good guinea pig for us and he's volunteering his score out there every week for people to go and destroy and say, haha, Nate.

[Max]

Yeah, better than you.

[Phil]

It's scary.

[Max]

It's scary. I don't care about the strangers, but I care about my older brother Nate. You're gonna be hearing from me. Dude, we. Oh, we have so many ongoing.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

So Nate. Nate has played the first ones. Fishing lures, Boone and Crockett, whitetail states and birds. Which one was the hardest between those three?

[Max]

Oh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Fishing lures, Boone and Crockett.

[Max]

For me, if anyone knows about my knowledge, the fishing lures was tough. Oh, yeah, yeah, that was a hard one for me.

[Corey]

Yeah, I bet fishing lures and birds were the toughest because there's only. There's only 50 states to choose from.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sure. Birds proper down. Stick out a little more in the bird sense.

[Max]

The problem is you get stuck. You're like, okay, I think, you know, I think Indiana or what fill in the state is a Boone and Crock estate. And so you're looking for Indiana.

[Corey]

It's not.

[Max]

And then it turns out it's not. And then that's. It's tricky, dude. It's tricky.

[Spencer Newarth]

So we are now giving you a lot of ways to kill time at that desk job you really hate. Go over to themeater.com games. New games showing up Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The Shelby index for today is a three, so our winner should get six. I think you guys have it in you. I think you'll do well.

[Corey]

I'm gonna win now.

[Phil]

Look at these.

[Spencer Newarth]

And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

[Corey]

Kind of make my head hurt.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max has put on Brody's class.

[Corey]

You know what?

[Spencer Newarth]

I stand to win.

[Corey]

I'm gonna send him a picture.

[Max]

You stand to win everything.

[Sarah]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer Newarth]

What's that doing to your eyesight over there?

[Corey]

Max, it's not helping.

[Marge]

I'm sorry.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 1. The topic is woodsmanship, and this will be multiple choice. When Is the windiest part of a day? Is it morning, middle of the day, evening, or middle of the night? When is the windiest part of a day? Your four choices. Morning, middle of the day. Evening, middle of the night.

[Corey]

I gotta take a better photo for Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max has some readers that were attached to Brody's microphone, pushed all the way down to the end of his nose. Question 1. When is the windiest part of a day? Morning, middle of the day. Evening, middle of the night. Are our jabronis ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, evening. Corey, middle of the day. Sarah, middle of the day. John, morning, different answers. Max, middle of the night. Marge, middle of the day. The correct answer is middle of the day. Three of our jabronis. Corey, Sarah, and Marge got that one right. The afternoon is windiest because the sun heats the ground, which causes warm air to rise and create turbulence. This process is called vertical mixing, which draws strong winds from higher altitudes down to the surface. Then at night, the ground cools and the air stabilizes. Winds are typically strongest on sunny days. I think I've lived in Bozeman for seven years now. We are in the windiest two week stretch. It's unbelievable, my life here. Have you guys lost anything in these winds? For reference, we had 90 mile an hour winds in the. In the valley the other day. If you guys lost anything important.

[Corey]

A grill cover.

[Spencer Newarth]

A grill cover. Sarah, you lost a grill cover as well?

[Sarah]

I lost a grill cover, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Dang.

[Phil]

I had a neighbor lose a trampoline.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, like gone gone or has it been found?

[Phil]

It was found, but it went over the fence into the neighbor's yard and crashed into their shit.

[Sarah]

That's far.

[Phil]

So they might owe some money.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Pans out.

[Corey]

My kid's basketball hoop isn't round anymore.

[Spencer Newarth]

Like egg shape fell over, hit the concrete. Yeah, there is. It was. It also happened on recycling day. So, like, I did try taking our bin out to the. To the curb, but other folks did. And so now there's just recycling.

[Sarah]

I saw a post in Ask.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was my neighborhood.

[Sarah]

Ask Boseman. Facebook. Someone was like, someone needs to take their. All their trash out. They dumped it all over the yard.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was our local celebrity.

[Sarah]

75 miles an hour.

[Marge]

Yeah, that's our local. Yes, influencer that.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was in my neighborhood. Created some good drama.

[Marge]

I don't remember what. I'll. I'll show you. I shouldn't say names on the air. That's a really. Scratch that.

[Phil]

There will be no scratching of anything.

[Sarah]

No censorship question.

[Marge]

Just follow hipsters at Bozeman and you'll know Marge.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marge made an appearance on Hipsters of.

[Marge]

Boseman back in the day. Here you go.

[Corey]

Chester gets called out all the time.

[Spencer Newarth]

They like Chester.

[Corey]

They like Chester.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Sarah]

I always get a little worried wearing like first like camouflage.

[Spencer Newarth]

You think they're gonna get you?

[Sarah]

Oh, yeah. Every once in a while there's someone like two guys at a street corner wearing like camouflage puff.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sure.

[Corey]

Just don't be wearing a cowboy hat.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marge, what were you wearing when they, when they got you?

[Marge]

I had white.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's typically about what your outfit is that's like what they're looking for.

[Marge]

I had white platform doc Martens on which probably were the dead giveaway. Some fresh high rise like Carhartt looking pants and then just like a T shirt.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marge is just too stylish.

[Marge]

I think it was the boots. They were cool.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Marge]

Kind of out of style.

[Max]

Now let the haters hate.

[Marge]

I know. I actually it was. I felt honored.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go. Question 2. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which is won by Daniel Nichols for sending this great question. Daniel is going to get a board game signed by the crew if you want a chance to win our listener question of the week. Since then, send your question to trivia atthe meat eater.com. this canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground.

[Corey]

Badger dog.

[Spencer Newarth]

This canine whose nine letter name translates to quote, badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Our jabronis look stumped. Except for Sarah. She already has an answer. Sarah, do you have an answer with nine letters?

[Sarah]

It does have nine letters. I think it's misspelled, but it's I think right. My mom shout out Leslie, terrified of these dogs.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, all right. There's a hint if you know Sarah's family. This canine whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Sarah, the only jabroni with an answer so far. Nine letter name.

[Corey]

I'm just, I can't think of five dog names right now.

[Marge]

Same.

[Sarah]

Aren't you a dog guy, Max?

[Corey]

Yeah, but I just can't. It's. I don't know if it's glasses or it's just the pressure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey, do you have an answer you like?

[Corey]

Yeah, I think it's pretty good.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Corey]

It's spelled correctly.

[Spencer Newarth]

Same as two of our jabronis are feeling confident. This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground.

[Corey]

How cool.

[Sarah]

There's a great book that talks about the American Kennel club. Like dog shows they go through, like, breed history and conformity and all that. If you're a dog nerd, it's a good one to read.

[Spencer Newarth]

The AKC is who helped me write this flavor text today.

[Sarah]

They know some things about dogs.

[Spencer Newarth]

How you doing, Max?

[Corey]

Those glasses could be a little thicker.

[Spencer Newarth]

Need a different marker. Can we get Marge?

[Corey]

Throw it against the door.

[Spencer Newarth]

We got a couple more markers there.

[Corey]

This one's not much better.

[Brent]

There we go.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Corey]

I know when it's gonna be one of those answers. When you're. When you say the correct answer, I'm just like, why didn't I think of that?

[Max]

I think my uncle has one.

[Sarah]

You just don't know the name.

[Max]

Yes.

[Marge]

Okay. This one doesn't work either.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, no.

[Corey]

Shoot.

[Spencer Newarth]

We need another replacement.

[Corey]

Really helping that concentration.

[Spencer Newarth]

This canine, whose nine letter name translates to badger dog, was bred to fight badgers in their dens below ground. Corey and Sarah are coming out of the gate hot. They think they're gonna be Two questions correct.

[Marge]

I got a nine letter dog.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Do you think it could be a dog that was bred to fight badgers in their dentist?

[Marge]

My family's dog.

[Sarah]

It's definitely right next.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right.

[Marge]

But.

[Corey]

A lot of you racing.

[Sarah]

I think that's a lot of added letters.

[Spencer Newarth]

John, Max and Nate are stumped. You boys give up yet? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nate's uncle is going to be disappointed. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate without an answer. Corey says rottweiler. Sarah says dachshund. John without an answer. Max says shih tzu. Maggie says schnauzer.

[Marge]

Schnau. It's why they're so.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's. The correct answer is dachshund. I knew Sarah got that one right job.

[Corey]

Sarah.

[Sarah]

That's why they're. That's why they are the shape they are. Even though they don't hunt badgers anymore, they're long and skinny because people used to pull them out of pools.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Sarah]

By their tails.

[Spencer Newarth]

Germans started to shape the dachshund breed in the late 17th century. Their goal was to create a dog that's low to the ground, has a long rib cage, and has a well hinged jaw with large teeth. The dachshund's job was to chase badgers into their dens and then drag them back to the surface. But what made those first dachshunds such good hunters also made them difficult to train. As one early breeder said, quote, dachshunds even disobey me when I instruct them to do something they want to do. Does your uncle have a dachshund?

[Max]

No, it's my godmother. She's got, like, four of them, and they'll pee all over her house.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, no.

[Max]

Love you, Auntie Big.

[Spencer Newarth]

Just as honory as those OG dachshunds that were hunting badgers. Question 3. The topic is fishing. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. The jabronis have their swagger back. Max likes his answer. John is quick to answer. Corey has an answer.

[Maggie]

I bet.

[Corey]

I bet Shelby got this one right.

[Spencer Newarth]

You remember she did not get this one right. No. This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939.

[Phil]

I know we've moved on, but Spencer asked me to show this picture, so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yes. There's one of those OG little badgers.

[Corey]

I love the beard on them.

[Phil]

Me too.

[Corey]

I haven't seen one with the beard. Yeah, I like that.

[Spencer Newarth]

In an old black and white photo like that. Now I'm like, okay, that looks like a badger hunter. They would go toe to toe.

[Corey]

Yeah, they soften up over time.

[Sarah]

They're a lot tougher than the terrible fur.

[Corey]

Don't show Nate that answer. I feel like Brody. Because Brody's constantly like this the whole time. Like, looking at you. Yes.

[Sarah]

He's a big stare.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Brody stare down.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I feel like his neck would start hurting, you know, just like I was looking down.

[Spencer Newarth]

This boat motor company with a planetary name was founded in 1939. Max, do you like Marge's answer?

[Corey]

I'd love it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, is everybody ready?

[Max]

My beef with Randall's throwing me off.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Jupiter. The rest of the room says Mercury. They got it. The correct answer is Mercury.

[Corey]

Marine boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

[Spencer Newarth]

The company was originally Thor Outdoors. She was friends, but later changed to Mercury Marine. Brand skyrocketed during World War II when they designed the best chainsaw on the market and won a government contract to produce them for the army. Their chainsaws were able to cut through a 24 inch log in 17 seconds, with the closest competitor being at 52 seconds.

[Corey]

Amazing. Damn Fun fact.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question for the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Adam Smith. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. So we're looking for the name of the state. The Oregon Trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. Max already has his answer. Max, do you have this one right?

[Corey]

Yes, I do.

[Phil]

Can't be that one.

[Max]

I feel like since he's got it.

[Maggie]

It'S like a hint.

[Sarah]

That's the game I'm playing.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Oregon trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state.

[Marge]

I'm going to take that hint to.

[Sarah]

Playing the how well do you know Max?

[Spencer Newarth]

Party. I assume there's a reason Max knows this. Now it's influencing some answers in the room.

[Corey]

I want to give everyone a hint. Yeah, do it.

[Sarah]

Stop talking.

[Corey]

I'm not gonna.

[Spencer Newarth]

Because I'm losing. It's a competitive game. This is question four. The Oregon trail passes by Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock and Scott's Bluff while moving through this state. Corey, how do you like your answer?

[Max]

I don't at all.

[Corey]

That's not good. When they played the video game, I don't remember where they were going. I love that game.

[Sarah]

Well, they were going to Oregon.

[Corey]

In the end, presumably. Yeah, but what. What passes through.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Where were they? Where's the trail? I can see it.

[Max]

The Oregon, just not interposed on a map.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, Chimney Rock.

[Corey]

Time's up. Spencer, forgive me, but they pass through multiple states, right? Multiple. Yeah, we're trying to narrow this.

[Max]

They could have started in Oregon.

[Corey]

There's Chimney Rocks all over. No, there's only one Chimney Rock. I guess I've called a few. All right, time's up. Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey, do you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate is right there. South Dakota. Corey says Nevada. Sarah, North Dakota. John, South Dakota. Max, Nebraska. Marge, South Dakota. The correct answer is Nebraska. Max and only Max got that one right.

[Max]

Good job, Max.

[Spencer Newarth]

And there is a map of Nebraska on our wall. About eight feet in.

[Max]

It's not like you could.

[Marge]

No.

[Corey]

Scott's Bluff is like on the western side.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, there's like 20,000 people who live.

[Max]

Why do you know about.

[Corey]

Probably the biggest spent a lot of time in Scott's Bluff hunting.

[Spencer Newarth]

And they just had like a true crime thing play out there at Scottsbluff National Monument where a dead body turned up of a dude who like walked away from a family gathering. People suspected the in laws. They've ruled it an accident. Anyway, that just all played out a few weeks ago. The Oregon trail goes through six states. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon. The trail enters Nebraska from Kansas, following the little Blue river until it hits the Platte River. It was here that travelers would encounter thousands of bison which gave them fresh meat to Eat. And buffalo chips to burn. Question 5. The topic is biology. This four letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. This four letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach.

[Corey]

These glasses are working.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, Max, think he's got two in a row.

[Corey]

This is gonna be three in a row.

[Spencer Newarth]

Three in a row. Okay, we're gonna get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer.

[Corey]

I think in beer pong, you call that on fire.

[Phil]

That's right.

[Spencer Newarth]

He was heating up.

[Marge]

Heating up.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now he's on fire. Gotta throw him. Throw him the ball back. This four letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Max has now passed the glasses to Nate. See if the power is indeed in the lenses. Max likes his answer. John, do you have this one right? I think so. Sarah, do you have this one right?

[Sarah]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marge, do you have this one right?

[Marge]

Yeah. Okay, consulting my office mate, four of.

[Spencer Newarth]

Our jabronis say they have this one.

[Corey]

I'm just gonna give myself a point right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Nate are not.

[Corey]

Easy, bud, Easy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Four letter word refers to the thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering the stomach. Corey and Nate. It's not a gizzard. Nope.

[Sarah]

That's.

[Max]

What I thought and then counted them.

[Corey]

It's a giz. Some people call it. I was gonna say zard.

[Sarah]

Lizard is the colloquial term for giz.

[Marge]

Come on.

[Corey]

All right, time's up.

[Max]

Wait, give me like. Give me 10 seconds.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, I like the glasses, though.

[Max]

I usually wear glasses.

[Corey]

Okay, four eyes.

[Spencer Newarth]

This four letter word we first heard. Thin walled pouch at the base of a bird's esophagus where food is stored before entering.

[Max]

Remind me to tell you about my eye surgery. Crazy.

[Maggie]

Okay.

[Max]

I can't remember.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey, do you give up?

[Max]

It's just your brain.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says sack. Corey. Without an answer, the rest of the room says cr. They got it. The correct answer is crop. When a bird swallows food, it goes from the throat to the esophagus to the crop to the first stomach to the gizzard. The flexibility of the crop allows birds to eat more food than necessary and store some for later. Migrating birds tend to have small crops while seed eating birds tend to have Big crops.

[Corey]

It's so cool to, once you harvest a bird, to open it up and like, see what they're eating. And like, that's like, oh, I should focus on this. You know, you can see it in grouse, pheasants, ducks, geese.

[Max]

Tony and I did it like two weeks ago. Yeah, he's like, look, soybeans on the crop.

[Spencer Newarth]

And the digestion has like barely started at that point. So it looks like if they have corn in there, if they have seeds in there, it looks like exactly how it was when they ate it. Yeah, you can learn a lot by the crop.

[Corey]

One time I found a minnow in a mallard.

[Max]

Oh, that's cool.

[Spencer Newarth]

Not very. For eating a lot of fish.

[Corey]

Very weird.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil, give us a scoreboard update through five questions.

[Maggie]

Oh, Nate.

[Max]

I'm gonna tie it up, bro. I'm gonna tie it up. In the last five.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate declared he's not a jabroni before we started recording. How many points does he have?

[Phil]

Phil, that looks like a zero.

[Max]

I'm going five for five on the back half.

[Phil]

Coming up after Nate are Corey and John, who have two points a piece. Max and Maggie have three.

[Sarah]

Three.

[Phil]

And in first place is Sarah with four points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sarah, good game from the jabronis.

[Spencer Newarth]

Auto parts, Question 6. The topic is wildlife. What continent are aardvarks native to? What continent are aardvarks native to? Looks like a lot of guesses happening. Or do you know this one, Marge?

[Marge]

I know it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Marge knows it. Our other five players are just taking a guess.

[Marge]

If I'm wrong, I guess then I.

[Corey]

Don'T know how you spell aardvarks.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Sarah]

Two A's.

[Spencer Newarth]

What continent are aardvarks?

[Marge]

What cartoon character was an artwork?

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, we will talk about that in the flavor text.

[Sarah]

I know, though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, me too. Aardvark is typically the first word in dictionaries because it does have that double A at the beginning.

[Corey]

Oh, that's a cool fact.

[Spencer Newarth]

What continent are aardvarks native to? How you doing, Nate?

[Max]

Stuck on two.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey, do you like your answer?

[Corey]

I feel pretty good. 60 or so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sarah, the leader of the Jabroni so far. Do you have this one right?

[Sarah]

I don't know if I do kind of guessed.

[Corey]

It's a big world out there.

[Sarah]

There's a lot of continents.

[Spencer Newarth]

These are only native to one of them.

[Corey]

Definitely not.

[Sarah]

Yeah, there is. Yeah, there's.

[Corey]

Well, two.

[Sarah]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Two.

[Corey]

I'm stuck on two.

[Max]

Yep.

[Corey]

Should I go.

[Spencer Newarth]

Waiting on Maxwell and Jonathan?

[Corey]

Those glasses do make you look smarter. Yeah, thanks.

[Max]

Just keep them.

[Spencer Newarth]

Doesn't make me John. Do you have your answer?

[Phil]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max, do you have your answer?

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes. Or maybe. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Australia. Corey says Australia. Sarah. Africa. John. South America. Max. Africa. Maggie. Australia. The correct answer is Africa.

[Marge]

And Sarah wrong.

[Spencer Newarth]

Got that.

[Corey]

I was gonna do South America, but.

[Phil]

I'm glad I did.

[Corey]

Africa, dude.

[Spencer Newarth]

They are also known as African ant bears with the name aardvark meaning Earth pig. They are not closely related to pigs at all and are the only member of the most famous aardvark, Arthur, lives in Elwood City, which is loosely based on Erie, Pennsylvania.

[Sarah]

Shout out, PBS kids.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go. Pbs.

[Marge]

But they didn't tell me where aardvark was.

[Spencer Newarth]

I know just Elwood City. Long ways from home in Africa.

[Marge]

Dang.

[Spencer Newarth]

Come on. Question seven. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Clint Gregory.

[Corey]

Is it getting hot in here?

[Spencer Newarth]

Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher walken in this 2005 comedy.

[Max]

I didn't know they were in the same. I didn't know Bradley Cooper and Vince Vaughn were in a movie together.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey has his answer. Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting. Drop a goose egg with Bradley Cooper and Christopher walken in this 2005 comedy. Nate has zero points through six questions, and he doesn't think he has number seven correct either. Corey, do you have this one right?

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Corey knows it.

[Corey]

Bradley Cooper.

[Spencer Newarth]

Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher walken in this 2005 comedy. And Phil is going to give us a Christopher Walken impression after this.

[Phil]

I don't think I should. I don't do very good impressions. Christopher Walken is so. So many people.

[Spencer Newarth]

But you give great impressions.

[Phil]

Christopher Walken's not in the milieu. Is that the right word? I don't know. I'm not gonna look it up.

[Corey]

Can I phone a friend?

[Spencer Newarth]

You cannot, but who would you call? If my wife were able to, she would know this one.

[Marge]

Call my husband too.

[Corey]

Like she's a big Bradley Cooper fan. Actually, thinking about it more, I. Before I reveal my answer, I'm just gonna say I'm not that confident.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, you thought you were.

[Corey]

It's a good answer, but demand then list of actors in there. I know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Vince Vaughn gets shot while quail hunting with Bradley Cooper and Christopher walken in this 2005 comedy. Phil, would you get this one right?

[Phil]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil]

And I looked it up. Milia is not the right word.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, do you like your repertoire?

[Max]

That's the word.

[Phil]

What do you want me to say, Max?

[Corey]

That I'm right?

[Phil]

Do you want me to tell you?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, I have just no idea. Is everybody ready?

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says wedding crashers. Corey says vice. Sarah, meet the parents. John without an answer. Max, how to lose a guy in 10 days. Marge without an answer. The correct answer is wedding crashers.

[Max]

Let's go.

[Phil]

Redemption.

[Spencer Newarth]

Got that one right.

[Max]

I'm still out already.

[Corey]

I was thinking the found the Cheney.

[Spencer Newarth]

Point of the Day. Yeah, except that was like, what, 2019 or 2020 isn't.

[Corey]

I thought it was right right around the 2000s.

[Phil]

Well, I don't think any of those.

[Spencer Newarth]

People are in the.

[Corey]

I don't think they are either, Wilson.

[Max]

That's what threw me off.

[Spencer Newarth]

But if I told you that, then it would be too easy. Well, I think it'd be six for six. The hunting scene from Wedding Crashers is one of the worst in Hollywood history. For starters, they are quail hunting in summer. And during this quail march, Christopher Walken is constantly and incorrectly blowing into a crow call. Also, the mu control in this scene will make you squeamish. Then when one of them shoots, everyone starts firing in that direction. Owen Wilson experiences so much recoil that it blows him backwards while Bradley Cooper's shotgun barrel doesn't even flinch. The hunt comes to an end when Cooper shoots Vaughn in the butt, which gives everyone a good laugh. Here's that scene. Why can't we hunt something cool?

[Corey]

Oh, that's Vince Vaugh. Some talons.

[Spencer Newarth]

That'd be awesome.

[Max]

You mean something like big game? Even like a gorilla or a rhinocerosing human being. That'll get you jacked up.

[Corey]

Look at that gun pointed right at her.

[Max]

I mean, like you're hunting human being right now. Most Dangerous Game. Like a worthy adversary. Not a human being that's armed, but a clever. A clever human being who knows the jungle or the woods.

[Spencer Newarth]

Look at that quail hun.

[Phil]

There's something not right about these guys.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's Bradley Cooper.

[Corey]

Max, it doesn't look like Bradley Cooper.

[Spencer Newarth]

Don't do anything crazy. He just relaxes.

[Corey]

How do you have more hair?

[Sarah]

I mean, it comes and goes.

[Phil]

To the right.

[Corey]

Oh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, gosh, what a moment. I don't think they won any awards for that. Oh. Question 8. The topic is conservation. Who would have thought this national park has a section that's referred to as helicopter alley with 300 aircrafts passing through it each day. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. This national park has a section referred to as Helicopter Alley. I've already lost three aircrafts passing through it each day.

[Max]

Let's just leave Helicopter l go buy a cookie and drown my sorrows.

[Corey]

Yeah, make it two cookies.

[Max]

All right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Where are you going to get your cookie from?

[Max]

Not crumble. That place is trash.

[Marge]

I agree.

[Corey]

Those cookies are not good for a.

[Phil]

Little chemically over there Cookies.

[Max]

Good for you, Grandma.

[Marge]

So bad. It's like if I wanted cookie dough, I just go eat cookie dough.

[Max]

You tell Them watch the epcot mark.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think a crumble cookie tastes good. What I don't like is I feel like it ruins the the of rest. Rest of your day.

[Max]

You said no editing, Phil.

[Marge]

I have a potty mouth.

[Brent]

I'm sorry.

[Spencer Newarth]

This national park has a section that's referred to as helicopter alley with 300 aircrafts passing through it each day.

[Corey]

This is a great answer, you know?

[Spencer Newarth]

You think so?

[Max]

A surprising value from my favorite warehouse store. Costco's got great cookies.

[Corey]

Yes, they do.

[Phil]

Oh, yeah.

[Max]

One time I walked out with a piece of pizza and a cookie, and the guy's like, oh, he got you with the upsell on the cookie. I said, brother, I come here for the cookie.

[Spencer Newarth]

They don't have to twist your arm. Is everybody ready?

[Corey]

3, 2, 1, go.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Grand Canyon. Corey says Yosemite. Sarah, Golden Gate. John, Grand Canyon. Max and Marge say Grand Canyon.

[Phil]

Come on.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is Grand Canyon. Yes, man. Four of our players got that one right. It's going to make for an interesting scoreboard update from Phil in just a second. Grand Canyon west is one of the world's busiest heliports. It's estimated that about 350,000 people charter helicopter rides from there every year. Some conservationists say this practice has ruined one north, one of North America's most remote places, putting them at odds with the National Park Service and local tribes.

[Marge]

As someone who's floated down the Grand Canyon, I would agree.

[Spencer Newarth]

You went through Helicopter Alley. Were you there during the rush when it's just like every single minute there's a helicopter coming through.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Marge]

Terrible.

[Spencer Newarth]

Made it. Made it a lot less floating.

[Marge]

The river is the way to do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go, Phil. Scoreboard update with two questions left.

[Phil]

Well, you were right. It has become a little bit more interesting. We have.

[Corey]

Come on, Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

Come on, come on.

[Phil]

Brody and Corey have two and aren't in the running anymore. John has three, Maggie has four, and now tied up in first place are Max and Sarah with five.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Maggie. Max, have you won yet? I'm rooting for Sarah Just once.

[Sarah]

Okay.

[Corey]

That was a long, long time ago.

[Sarah]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

I haven't won question nine. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Chris Colderick. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them. So we're looking for a letter from the Alphabet. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits.

[Max]

It's gonna take me a while.

[Spencer Newarth]

That have this letter in them. Nobody seems to know this. Or John, do you know this one?

[Corey]

Nothing's coming to mind right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Sarah has her answer locked in though. Sarah, do you like your answer?

[Sarah]

It makes sense maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil]

I think it's good you have some kind well adjusted people in the room today, Spencer. Cause I think if Spence. If Steve or Brody were here, they'd be like a general rule.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to who? Actually according to Brody Henderson. If you look at the flavor text bill, we're going to plug one of his articles that he wrote six or seven years ago for our website. It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter in them. Saving this question for a day when Brody isn't here because he has specifically wrote about this subject.

[Corey]

It's rabbit season.

[Marge]

Hopefully.

[Spencer Newarth]

Max has really been committed to the bit. He's been wearing glasses that do not benefit his vision at all for the entire episode. In fact, they hurt your vision, right?

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Okay.

[Corey]

Going from up here to down here is not.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a general rule that you should only hunt and eat rabbits in months that have this letter. Corey, do you like your answer?

[Corey]

Yeah, I love it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Max, do you like your answer?

[Corey]

I'm feeling pretty good about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Max]

Oh shoot.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate is going in with a change.

[Max]

No, just a clarification.

[Corey]

Oh, was that.

[Max]

I was circling the answer.

[Corey]

A lot going on on your list.

[Max]

Oh, October only month you're allowed to do it. Maybe.

[Corey]

Who knows.

[Spencer Newarth]

John has his answer. Marge, we are waiting on you to pick that.

[Corey]

So it is months.

[Spencer Newarth]

So it's poor looking for a letter though for your answer. Is everybody ready?

[Marge]

I guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says R. Corey, R. Sarah, R. John, O Max, E. Marge, J.

[Corey]

Shoot.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is R. This side of the room got that one right. Two players out of the game. Nate and Corey as well as Sarah.

[Corey]

Man, Sarah, there was a bunch of rich in that.

[Spencer Newarth]

This old timer wisdom says you should only eat rabbits in September, October, November, December, January, February, March and April. That means you shouldn't eat them in May, June, July or August. This is because rabbits are more likely to have parasites in them and on them during warmer months. But as Brody Henderson said in his article on the media on the meat eater.com called is it unsafe to eat rabbits before the first frost? As long as the meat is properly cooked. Rabbits year round. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was the middle of the day is the windiest. Two dachshund 3. Mercury Marine.

[Max]

4.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nebraska. 5. Crop. 6. Africa. 7. Wedding Crashers. 8. Grand Canyon. 9 is the letter R. All right, Phil, give us one more scoreboard update.

[Phil]

Well, with that correct answer, Sarah has pulled ahead in front of Max. She has six, Max has five.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is Sarah's game to win or lose going into question?

[Corey]

Come on, Spencer, give me a doc is fishing. Of course it is.

[Spencer Newarth]

This river which forms the border of New York and New Jersey has the second biggest striped bass spawning run on the east coast. East Coast? Questions.

[Corey]

Oh, it's not west of the Mississippi.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, get em. You don't know this. That is what people sound like who say that. This river which forms the border of New York and New Jersey.

[Corey]

How I feel.

[Spencer Newarth]

Has the second biggest striped bass spawning run on the east coast. Sarah, do you have this one right?

[Maggie]

Maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, put a percentage on it. What percentage chance do you have this one?

[Sarah]

65.

[Spencer Newarth]

65. How about you, Maxwell?

[Corey]

New York and New Jersey?

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I don't know. I'm just taking a wild guess.

[Sarah]

How much time have you spent on the east Coast, Max?

[Corey]

I. I've actually got a striper.

[Sarah]

Really?

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Marge]

I made a graphic for Joe C's show of this, and I can't think of it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I bet. I bet you did make a graphic of this exact thing. This river which forms the border of New York and New Jersey. That's what's throwing me off. Second biggest striped bass spawning run on the east coast.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Sarah gets this one right, she wins the game outright. If she gets it wrong and Max gets it right, we will go to overtime.

[Sarah]

Are you asking the Pennsylvanian? It's not the east coast. That's Rust.

[Corey]

Oh, I never went to that side of New York.

[Sarah]

Pennsylvania's not.

[Corey]

I'm sticking with my no.

[Spencer Newarth]

Upstate New York is the furthest east I've been. Matt, put down the answer. If you count New Jersey, the only river he knows up in New York.

[Phil]

It's awesome.

[Sarah]

Kick ass.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready?

[Max]

You'd be in good company with.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Hudson. Corey says Erie. Sarah says Connecticut. John says Hudson. Max says Delaware. Maggie, without an answer.

[Marge]

Not gonna do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer.

[Corey]

Come on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is Hudson River. Sarah has won it despite getting that one wrong. Max did not not get it. Either is the winner of the game. With how many points? Seven.

[Marge]

Good job, you guys.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good job.

[Phil]

Shelby, index, please.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Hudson river starts in upstate New York and ends near the Statue of Liberty. With the final 21 miles separating New York City and Jersey City. The Hudson has a Diverse fishery, but is best known for its stripers. The Chesapeake Bay is the east coast largest producer of striped bass, followed by the Hudson river and Delaware River. So you were close.

[Marge]

I put the Chesapeake Bay down, which I knew was not a river, but I erased it.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Delaware doesn't give us the border.

[Sarah]

They do have stripers.

[Marge]

I was thinking stripers.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Sarah, 500 donation as the queen Jabroni. What are you gonna do with that?

[Max]

Well, don't we have another question?

[Spencer Newarth]

Queen gibroni. That was question 10.

[Sarah]

Feels good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 10. Do you want to be the king Jabroni? You could be the king Jabroni. She's the king Jabroni and the queen Gibroni.

[Marge]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]
