If you’re a MeatEater or trivia fan, this episode proves you don’t need a perfect host—just a raucous group, good questions, and a love for wild game and even wilder conversations.

Transcript

[Podcast Announcer]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[Phil]

Guaranteed Human.

[Nate Mason]

It's a meat eater podcast. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I am not your normal host, Spencer Newharth, but your Jabroni host, Nate Mason. And today we're joined by Anthony, Corinne, Corey, Seth, Randall, Brody and Steve. Big day.

[Phil]

Big day for you.

[Seth]

Lots of mess up here.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, my computer's about to die. I forgot about that. Oh, that's a problem. Baby steps. I do need a charger. Here we go.

[Phil]

You know the show is going right now.

[Nate Mason]

Well, we can restart it. We're not too deep? No, I wouldn't do that.

[Corinne]

I'd keep going.

[Randall Brody]

Adds complexity for fun.

[Corinne]

Why would you do that to me, Nate?

[Nate Mason]

Dude, I'm sorry. I got into a two hour conversation. I got the normal little guy round two part of the show. No, not planned. It is on brand.

[Seth]

Well folks, he's already failing.

[Nate Mason]

Okay, we'll keep rolling this.

[Randall Brody]

We'll get an abortion of an experiment here.

[Nate Mason]

This is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters or verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There's a prize.

[Randall Brody]

Somebody text Spencer Meters.

[Nate Mason]

Meat eater will donate 500 conservation organization. The winner's choosing for our IFAQ. It comes from John Foulch.

[Randall Brody]

Are you just doing this to practice?

[Nate Mason]

No, we're just keeping the show.

[Randall Brody]

Okay, sorry.

[Phil]

She doesn't need to know right now.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, it's going. Dude, we're on IFA cubes.

[Phil]

I don't think you're going to. Here's the deal.

[Corinne]

The audience was confused.

[Nate Mason]

Just know that we were too.

[Phil]

I feel like it's that back on. Spencer's a singular talent. Yep. For me to say you did a good job. Is that me saying that Spencer does a bad job?

[Nate Mason]

You just need to use the negative five to five scale. Spencer's a five.

[Phil]

And you just want me to be better than zero.

[Nate Mason]

Yep. Yep.

[Phil]

Okay, come on.

[Nate Mason]

Okay. Today's IFAQ comes from John Fouch. What superstitions do meat eater trivia players have? I think this is.

[Corinne]

This is in the context of meat eater trivia.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, I thought you're asking whether or not I believed in life after death.

[Nate Mason]

I thought he was talking like hunting superstition.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, I thought it was like haunting.

[Nate Mason]

You a ghost guy?

[Randall Brody]

No.

[Seth]

Yeah. I would interpret it as trivia superstitions.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. I tried sunglasses on upside down once. Didn't work? No.

[Randall Brody]

For a while I was making elaborate borders around my board and I won a few times. And then the power of that failed me. So I abandoned it.

[Nate Mason]

Until today.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, until today.

[Nate Mason]

There you go. No other superstitions. Cool. No roll on a housekeeping on a previous episode of Trivia.

[Randall Brody]

Sorry we're letting you down.

[Phil]

The host will take the blame, but it could be the players.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

A certain Paul came over the room when you came in.

[Seth]

I'm developing a superstition of not playing trivia when you're hosting.

[Phil]

I just want to know, can I see the questions?

[Nate Mason]

No. Oh, okay. No, they're good. Don't worry. My poor performance in the intro will be negated by my positive performance questions. Here we go. Spencer asked a question about South Carolina barbecue. I missed that question. Have since filed an ADA complaint. So I'd like to share a note from an impassioned South Carolinian. South Carolina features three distinct cultures and ideologies related to seasoning of pulled pork, vinegar, ketchup, and that yellow abomination. Ketchup is mainly in the upstate, close to the Georgia border. Vinegar is from the part of the state east of 95 down to the coast. The correct part of this great state. Mustard is located primarily in the midlands and is the product of abject parenting failures and terrible life decisions. Mustard does not and never will represent the good citizens of South Carolina. And I demand a correction to the record. Jake Thompson.

[Corey]

But like, there are so many different kinds and preparations of mustard. There's like, where it's all seed and then there's Dijon and then there's spice.

[Nate Mason]

There's so there's that yellow one.

[Phil]

Can you say Dijon again for me?

[Corey]

Dijon.

[Corinne]

Wow.

[Phil]

Pretentious.

[Seth]

Very French.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Baggage.

[Phil]

What does he mean? Ketchup?

[Nate Mason]

I don't know. I've never used ketchup in barbecue. I've only known a vinegar.

[Seth]

I think that's the base.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, like a tomato base.

[Phil]

Now one of my faves is when you take. I guess this would combine the two cultures. Is when you take equal parts apple cider vinegar and. And Joe Blow mustard. Not Dijon, but it's like Hellman's. Whatever, Working man. And you would make a mop that is vinegar and mustard, which must be what they eat. Right on I90.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, I think.

[Corinne]

I think this guy's dead wrong. I love mustard based barbecue stuff. I think it's really isn't Carolina style. Carolina gold.

[Nate Mason]

That's what.

[Corey]

He's coming.

[Corinne]

Yeah, I love that.

[Nate Mason]

All that say. I don't think we're correcting the record, but your complaint's been heard.

[Randall Brody]

That was a fun email. No, I agree.

[Nate Mason]

Well written. I Took a lot out, too.

[Randall Brody]

It was merited reading.

[Phil]

I wouldn't mind having a big old map of the country that. That shows all that. Yeah, you know, like when you were a kid, they take a map and you'd have to, like, put, like, wheat over Kansas and, like, you know, like an agricultural map. I wouldn't mind having a barbecue map.

[Corinne]

That's gotta exist.

[Seth]

Like, Michigan would just be, like, what sweet baby rays.

[Phil]

It'd be blank. It'd be a hamburger. I'd like pickle and mustard. Ketchup.

[Randall Brody]

I'd like to see a map of the US of, like, places where they claim that their pizza is special somehow. Detroit, some way.

[Corinne]

Chicago. Chicago.

[Nate Mason]

New York.

[Randall Brody]

St. Louis.

[Nate Mason]

St. Louis. Yeah. St. Louis. Let's not get into it. As your first and probably last Jabroni host, I'm going to give some love to a fellow Jabroni. Contrary to popular belief, our primary occupation is not getting dunked on by Randall Brody and the elusive Steve Anthony. Little Tony Finisi is not only a Gibroni, but also the director of financial planning here at Meat Eater. He's the man behind the forecast budgets and sales reports we all know and love, and he does a great job. Keep it up, Anthony. Thank you, Nate. Wow.

[Phil]

All right, all right.

[Nate Mason]

Everything bad on every podcast just. Just went away. Boom. The Cameron index for today is five, so I'm putting us on perfect game alert. And with that, we're on the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil kind of rush through that. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

[Phil]

I need to know what kind of questions he's got.

[Corinne]

Easy ones apparently, tend to win everything.

[Corey]

He's got a sharp wife. So come on, guys.

[Nate Mason]

It's tr.

[Corey]

Game on, suckers.

[Nate Mason]

Question one. The topic is wildlife. According to the U.S. department of Agriculture, this is the name for a group of wild pigs. A, a colony, B, a sounder, C, a slop, D, a parade.

[Phil]

Darn easy.

[Nate Mason]

According to the U.S. department of Agriculture, this is the name for a group of wild pigs. A, a colony, B, a sounder, C, a slop, D, a parade.

[Seth]

Did you have Spencer check to see if any of these questions have been asked before?

[Nate Mason]

I assumed he did that because he gave. He nixed a couple, Andy, but some he like, tweaked.

[Phil]

Where is Spencer?

[Seth]

Dying.

[Randall Brody]

He's ill from the flu.

[Phil]

He's got sick. Gravely ill, like, not gonna make it.

[Randall Brody]

Covet. It's unclear. He told me he wouldn't make it on Tuesday, so.

[Nate Mason]

All right. We good? Everyone got their answer. Reveal them, Seth. Says Sounder. Son of a gun. Anthony says Parade. Steve says Sounder. Randall says Sounder. Corinne says Colony. Corey says Sounder. And Brody says Sounder. Wild sows can produce one to two litters per year with four to 12 piglets.

[Corinne]

What's the correct answer, Nate?

[Phil]

Give the correct answer.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, dude. Correct answer, Sounder.

[Seth]

Hey, we could have told you that, but that's okay.

[Phil]

Spencer would have been like, they got it.

[Nate Mason]

They got it. I'll do that on the next one.

[Phil]

Something like sauce it up, you know?

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Corinne]

No mustard, though.

[Nate Mason]

No mustard. Wild sows can produce one to two litters per year with four to 12 piglets per litter. Sows can breed year round, reaching sexual maturity as early as six to eight months. Although pregnant sows are sometimes considered the best table fare, wild hogs of all ages, sizes, and genders taste delicious. Hmm. Question two. Here. The next question is via Richard Keller. How many types of north are on the USGS topographical map? How many types of north are on a USGS topographical map? Good question.

[Corinne]

Wow.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah. There's different ways to read this. I'll be curious to see.

[Phil]

You didn't make that up. Who made that up?

[Nate Mason]

Richard Keller. Well, who's Richard Keller? He's a listener. I didn't see him in payroll. A different. I tweaked his question a lot, so if he gets mad at me, that's fine. You'll hear about it. Yeah, I'm sure. I think he's marine. He's a marine. He had a little marine emblem on his email.

[Phil]

You guys don't, like, ask each other about stuff like that?

[Nate Mason]

Well, I'm not emailing them back and forth. Why not? I will.

[Phil]

How would you bring it up?

[Nate Mason]

What do you mean?

[Phil]

Would you be like, semper Fi, bro?

[Nate Mason]

No, I'm a. I'm army, dude.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Here's some cranes. Sorry. You wouldn't say no. I love Marines, man. I won't go in on Marines.

[Phil]

Like, what do you say, like, when you meet another dude and you're like. Yeah, you're like. You're a military guy.

[Nate Mason]

Y.

[Phil]

And you. You get a glim. You're. You're engaging with someone. How, like, do you. How often do you bring it up? Like, let's say you're buying gas and the guy behind the counter. You realize some is military. Do you go like, Semper 5, bro?

[Nate Mason]

No, the only time is if I know, like, we overlapped at a duty state. Like, if we have some sort of personal connection further than the military.

[Phil]

So you Guys don't have, like, a little thing.

[Nate Mason]

I mean, I. I think they're cool. I respect them, but, like, we're not immediately homies. You got a handshake. If there's. I don't just walk around handshaking.

[Corinne]

Okay.

[Nate Mason]

No, no. Nothing like that.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Yeah. If I knew some dude, worked at a gas station, was from Michigan, I wouldn't be like, holy. You know, hey, shake my hand.

[Nate Mason]

It's a lot of people in the military. A lot of great people. A lot of dumb people. I'm ready.

[Randall Brody]

That's a hot take.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, not a hot take. All right, everyone, show your answers. Seth says five. Anthony says three. Steve says two. Randall says two. Corinne says five. Corey says six.

[Seth]

That's right.

[Nate Mason]

And Brody says two. Two. The correct answer is three.

[Phil]

No, it's not.

[Nate Mason]

The three north are true magnetic and grid. True north. If you're an army guy, you do.

[Corey]

Was that a guess, though?

[Nate Mason]

No.

[Phil]

Really? That's in the U.S.G.S.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

Are you sure?

[Nate Mason]

Yep. 100% positive.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Corey]

That's a great question.

[Phil]

It is not.

[Nate Mason]

I thought that was a softball.

[Phil]

Softball.

[Nate Mason]

Thank you, Nate.

[Corinne]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[Phil]

2. I would be calling it a softball.

[Seth]

Whatever.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Well, Sounder. True north is the fixed geographic point in the North Pole where all lines of longitude converge at the Earth's rotational axis. Magnetic north is the dynamic point where the Earth's magnetic fields point vertically downward. Because it shifts annually due to changes in the Earth's core, compass users must adjust for magnetic declination. When using a compass. Grid north is used on flat topographic maps where vertical grid lines run parallel to one another rather than converging.

[Phil]

I'll tell you something. You should have put it in there.

[Nate Mason]

No, lay it on me.

[Phil]

Did you know that periodically magnetic north and south, there's a polari. A polarity switch? Do you know how they found that out?

[Nate Mason]

No.

[Phil]

By looking at. In sea floor spreading. By looking at how crystals are orientated as during. As the crust is getting created in seafloor spreading, where they realize it's like, north, south, north, south.

[Randall Brody]

I've been reading a lot about.

[Phil]

As lava comes up and solidify, the crystals solidify. On magnetism. Telling you what, buddy.

[Nate Mason]

That's cool. No, it's really one of my biggest pet peeves, but we'll cover that later.

[Randall Brody]

I just read a book called Ends of the Earth by Neil Shubin. It's about the poles. Fascinating stuff.

[Phil]

Is your pet peeve people telling you stuff you don't know?

[Nate Mason]

No, I love it. I love my Pet peeve is people saying orientated.

[Corey]

Yeah, I picked up.

[Phil]

I did notice I'm reorientate your nose.

[Nate Mason]

See, that's correct.

[Phil]

You're not going to reorientate it. My nose.

[Nate Mason]

Wait, the P.S. book?

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Not about the people, about the.

[Randall Brody]

No, but I've read some of those books too.

[Phil]

All right, moving on.

[Nate Mason]

Question three, Natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Daniel Fisher.

[Randall Brody]

It's gotta be a good one for.

[Nate Mason]

Sending this great question. Daniel's gonna get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to triviater.com according to the biblical account, Samson killed this animal and later found honey and a swarm of bees inside the carcass. You got a biblical question? Oh, yeah, I do.

[Seth]

Geez.

[Nate Mason]

Listener question of the week. Delilah, right? Yep. Hey, there's that lady who cut his hair.

[Randall Brody]

I had a badass mold in high school when I cut my hair. And then the next week I broke my leg. And there are a lot of Samson jokes.

[Seth]

You should have a good mullet going right now.

[Randall Brody]

Randall somebody. Yeah, I do.

[Nate Mason]

Dude.

[Seth]

Be a little shorter on top for true mullet.

[Phil]

See, I don't know this particular one, but I know, like, in the Bible, there's a lot of references to and killings of.

[Nate Mason]

I think you're wrong based on that comment.

[Seth]

Oh, shoot.

[Nate Mason]

That's where I went.

[Corinne]

Oh, it's a pretty big hint, Nate.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, that was a big hint. This is brony episode. You know, we just throw out hints every now and then.

[Phil]

Okay, I'm going back to whatever.

[Nate Mason]

You got.

[Phil]

Any other hints if I get this wrong? Your fault.

[Nate Mason]

It's not a unicorn. Maybe everyone got an answer?

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. All right, reveal your answers. Seth says goat. Anthony says bear. Steve says bear.

[Phil]

I went bear.

[Nate Mason]

Lion. Bear crossed out lion. Randall says lion. Corinne says ram. Corey says lion. Brody says lion. They got it.

[Phil]

It's why you tell me. It wasn't what I thought. You can't do that.

[Nate Mason]

This is your Brody hosted. Dude, we can do anything.

[Phil]

Dude, I wrote lion down. I said I'm putting a thing that's in a lot of symbolism and stories in the Bible. Meaning lying.

[Corey]

That could have been.

[Phil]

You said that's not it.

[Randall Brody]

He thought you thought you written down.

[Nate Mason]

All over. So.

[Randall Brody]

Do you ever think sometimes there's no.

[Corinne]

Rules you can't like but not close to the right.

[Phil]

You can't flat out steer someone wrong?

[Nate Mason]

I didn't.

[Phil]

Samson, he's like a big badass he's.

[Nate Mason]

Not gonna kill him to hear about it. Tell us about Samson. That's David.

[Phil]

That's David. He killed a dude named Goliath.

[Nate Mason]

Samson knocked pillars down when they got shot.

[Seth]

Killed that lion with bare hands.

[Nate Mason]

Listen to this. Samson kills the lion with his bare hands and returns later to discover a bee's nest with honey, which he proceeds to eat. His other hunting adventures include catching 300 foxes for an arson campaign and using a donkey's jawbone to kill a thousand philistines. I almost said donkey Wouldn't have been right.

[Phil]

I know.

[Nate Mason]

What about would have been in the answer, though? Seems like a pretty cool dude. Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

That's got to be a pretty tough jawbone.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. I figure it's fresh because if it was old, it'd break.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Question four. Hunting old jobs. Hunting. NAVDA uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released.

[Corey]

Oh, darn.

[Nate Mason]

Can we find a nabda question?

[Phil]

I don't know why I'm even down here.

[Corey]

Ronnie Bame.

[Nate Mason]

NAVDA uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released.

[Corinne]

You know that meme of the woman screaming at the cat and her friends trying to hold her back? That's when Steve was like, why'd you tell me to write this down? I cut to Nate, and he just had this look on his. This reminded me of that. It was very good.

[Nate Mason]

Sometimes Spencer gives us, like, the amount of letters in the word. I'll do that later.

[Randall Brody]

No, don't do that.

[Nate Mason]

I'll do that later.

[Randall Brody]

I don't know this, but if it's what I think it is, is this.

[Seth]

Like, while the dog is pointing?

[Nate Mason]

NAVDA uses this term to describe a pointing dog's ability to remain in place until released. Oh, you know, I'll give you that. It is when the dog's pointing. Oh, I'll give you that. That's a helpful clarification.

[Seth]

Otherwise, it could just be like, sit, stay kind of stuff.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, but that's not like a sit. That's a command. What I would call it.

[Corey]

I came up with a dumb answer. That's wrong.

[Phil]

Yeah, I don't even know why I'm down here, dude. I've only got one right.

[Nate Mason]

Randall, Anybody still thinking? Corey? Haven't even started. Okay, we'll give you some time. No, I haven't even started thinking. Oh, we'll give you some time. I got hit with a rock. That was a while ago. Your face looks a lot better. Oh, thank you.

[Corinne]

You too.

[Phil]

I forgot about that.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Phil]

You were trying to keep what really happened under wraps.

[Nate Mason]

That's what I heard. No, not at all. Spilled the beans to the world. Yeah, at least people who watch radio live.

[Randall Brody]

I got the full story. Bar fight and some good photos.

[Nate Mason]

Big one. Bobcat fans took them all on at once last night. A couple weeks ago. All right, if everyone's ready, reveal your answers. Seth says hold. Anthony says steady. Steve says hold. Randall says hold. Corinne says freeze. Abilities. Corey says freeze. Froze. Brody says hold. Point. There is a correct answer in the room. Of course there is. Steadiness.

[Corey]

Ah.

[Nate Mason]

Really?

[Corey]

How is he?

[Corinne]

That's not what I'd call it.

[Nate Mason]

Steady. Steady. That was an easy one, dude. It's delineated by four sages. Steady to flush. Steady to wing. Steady to shot. And study to fall. Target species, terrain, vegetation and. Vegetation and temperament impact the stage. A dog handler may train their dog to.

[Phil]

Don't you feel like good hosting? You would have pointed out what NAVDA stands for.

[Nate Mason]

We. If you came to trivia, you'd know we kind of know what NAFTA is.

[Phil]

I know, but the listeners I'm thinking about. I know. It's North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association.

[Nate Mason]

Thank you.

[Corinne]

I didn't know that.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, news to me. Could have been a question. Could have been a question.

[Phil]

Sounds like a trade agreement.

[Nate Mason]

It was. Until it does.

[Seth]

Was.

[Nate Mason]

I think it was last year. Yeah.

[Phil]

See, the finance guy gets that joke. He gets the joke. It sounds like a trade agreement.

[Randall Brody]

I laugh.

[Phil]

He can't stop laughing. Seth. He didn't know what I was talking about.

[Corinne]

Every time I hear that, I think of Napa for some reason.

[Phil]

North American Fur Auction.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Seth]

So when everyone else says a dog is holding point. NAVDA says it's being steady.

[Nate Mason]

No. Question 5. We'll have a scoreboard review after this question. Questions. Category is wildlife. And this great question comes from Savannah Vamont. What bird has the largest wingspan? What bird has the largest in the world? Al.

[Corinne]

Today?

[Nate Mason]

Yes.

[Randall Brody]

How specific do you want us to.

[Nate Mason]

Be if it was. If the answer was Labrador. Retriever. Retriever would be fine. Okay. Or whitetail deer.

[Phil]

So who's got the hot. What's the highest score in the room right now?

[Nate Mason]

I think Anthony's got it, dude.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Everyone that. We've got a three way tie. Randall and Anthony and Brody have two points a piece right now.

[Nate Mason]

Okay.

[Seth]

So much for that perfect game, Nate.

[Nate Mason]

So much.

[Corey]

Biggest.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, we might have to adjust the old index cam.

[Nate Mason]

Might be a conservation ring.

[Corinne]

Boy, I'm really torn.

[Randall Brody]

This is a first in the game of trivia. One man just grabs another's board.

[Phil]

I'm not changing my stuff.

[Randall Brody]

I know we've had gentlemen's agreements to flash one another from now and then.

[Phil]

But I'm not changing my stuff.

[Nate Mason]

Grab someone's board.

[Phil]

I'm just going, nah. Because.

[Randall Brody]

Because that's wrong.

[Nate Mason]

I don't know.

[Corinne]

I was gonna say Randall had a pretty quick answer for the audio listeners. For a man who is famously. Who's the source against according to who.

[Randall Brody]

That's because I'm playing with a limited deck here, Phil. I looked at the four birds in my deck, and I chose one.

[Corinne]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

Oh, I gotta tweak my answer.

[Nate Mason]

Well, okay. I mean, how big are they? Just look at it like I always expected.

[Seth]

Heron. Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

I. I don't know.

[Corinne]

Ready?

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

That's not gonna. They're still thinking, Oh, I just got another idea.

[Randall Brody]

I can't think of the name these birds.

[Phil]

Here's the deal, too. Like, tear it down.

[Nate Mason]

Now tell us.

[Corinne]

Oh, I'm sorry, Corey, do you also have two points?

[Nate Mason]

I do. Okay. I can't tell.

[Phil]

Better to put a.

[Seth]

Thank you.

[Phil]

I'm not gonna change my answer based on what you wrote.

[Corinne]

I don't know if that's.

[Nate Mason]

I would hope so.

[Randall Brody]

That's what you told us earlier.

[Nate Mason]

I've got a higher score than you, Steve.

[Phil]

Hey, I'll take that.

[Seth]

Look, you need to get yourself a bird book, Cory.

[Nate Mason]

Is that not a bird? Yeah, I think it's a bird.

[Seth]

Well, it's a bird, but it ain't the bird.

[Nate Mason]

Everyone got their answers. Yeah.

[Phil]

He's like, all right, let's see him.

[Nate Mason]

Seth says sandhill. Crane. Anthony says eagle. Steve says albatross. Randall says condor. Corinne says crane. Corey says seahawk. Brody says condor. Crossed out albatross. The correct answer is albatross. Boasting wingspans up to 11 and a half feet, the wandering and royal albatross are capable of circus.

[Phil]

I'd like you to take note that I wrote during albatross. So who else had albatross?

[Seth]

I scratched it.

[Phil]

So no one else. I. I'm the only one who got the point.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Okay.

[Phil]

No complaints.

[Corinne]

I'm glad we got that refresher. Thanks.

[Seth]

What's the wingspan of an Indian condor? Look it up real quick.

[Nate Mason]

I'll look that up. I think you're wrong. I checked it.

[Phil]

He's not wrong.

[Nate Mason]

He is.

[Phil]

That'd make me wrong.

[Seth]

I know.

[Nate Mason]

Covering over 500 miles a day, albatross use a specialized tendon sheet that acts as A lock allowing them to glide for miles with very little energy expenditure. They also have glands above their eyes that filter salt from their blood and expel the excess brine through their nostrils, allowing them to survive off seawater.

[Corey]

Oh, wow.

[Seth]

What's Brody want you to look up Andean condor.

[Phil]

But that's not what you wrote.

[Seth]

Wrote condor, you wouldn't be right no.

[Phil]

Matter what because there's different condors.

[Randall Brody]

Well, he said you didn't need to be specific to be specific.

[Phil]

When did he say that?

[Nate Mason]

He did the lab analogy thing. The Andean condor is bigger by weight, but the wandering albatross has a larger wingspan.

[Seth]

Okay, I'll accept that.

[Randall Brody]

Brody. Keep working, Nate. You're doing a great job.

[Nate Mason]

Thanks, Randall.

[Randall Brody]

Phil, also, if you have some time, look up condors.

[Nate Mason]

All right, that was question five.

[Phil]

I'm back to having fun again.

[Nate Mason]

We have a scoreboard update.

[Corinne]

Oh, we do indeed. Let's look at it. Corinne Schneider's not on the board with zero points at halftime comeback. Seth Moore. Well, you truly could come back based on the rest of the score. Seth Morris has one. And now with Steve's point, the only person to get that last question question right. He rounded himself up with the current first place position holders who are Randall, Anthony, Steve and Brody. They all have two points.

[Phil]

Four people are beating Seth.

[Randall Brody]

There's a lot of crosstalk guys, just for the audience.

[Corinne]

Corey Calkins also has two points. Hey, I'm just right there breezing right past you.

[Nate Mason]

No, you're fine. I'm short. All right, question six. According to Chesapeake Bay Magazine, handlining is the easiest way to recreationally harvest blue crabs and uses a 15 foot piece of twine with a chicken blank tied on the end. Chicken blank. According to Chesapeake Bay Magazine, chicken tender handlining is the easiest way to recreationally harvest blue crabs. Chicken tikka. This is a 15 foot piece of twine with a chicken plank tied on the.

[Corinne]

This is Bubba from Forest Gumping over here.

[Nate Mason]

Just one. What are you asking? Is this a singular answer or plural?

[Corey]

Chicken tika mas is the word plural.

[Nate Mason]

A.

[Randall Brody]

There's the.

[Nate Mason]

I'm just curious.

[Randall Brody]

The article A.

[Nate Mason]

We don't crab that off in Montana. Oh, I know, I'm well aware.

[Phil]

According to Chesapeake Baby.

[Randall Brody]

That's an important part of good.

[Phil]

You asked everyone in this room room to be like, take an hour and write down every print publication you can think of.

[Corinne]

That one wouldn't come up.

[Phil]

Chesapeake Bay Magazine would not come up.

[Nate Mason]

How many would you be able to write?

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, Nate, I appreciate what you did here.

[Nate Mason]

Thank you.

[Randall Brody]

Because Steve could just be say, well, so and so told me that you tie a chicken.

[Nate Mason]

I do.

[Randall Brody]

Blank on the end.

[Phil]

But you can't throw out Chesapeake Bay magazine.

[Nate Mason]

I think there's a bat.

[Phil]

Oh, you knowing that. Knowing that publication. I. I assume there.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah, those guys.

[Seth]

National Geographic saying there's seven continents.

[Nate Mason]

I have to include this because of your complaints. And now you're complaining about me including.

[Phil]

It according to a magazine. My neighbor.

[Seth]

So you could have just used yourself as a.

[Corey]

Has existed. Has been in circulation.

[Nate Mason]

Do you know, 75 years.

[Corinne]

Sounds like a reputable institution establishing some especially.

[Phil]

Subscribe for sure. I don't want those guys to think I'm dogging them. I'm gonna subscribe tonight.

[Nate Mason]

All right. Everyone got their answers?

[Corinne]

Sure.

[Nate Mason]

Reveal them. Seth says wing. Anthony says heart. Steve says neck. Randall says neck. Corinne says wire. Corey says liver. Brody says neck. The room got it. Question. The answer is neck.

[Corey]

All right.

[Nate Mason]

Liver.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, the room.

[Nate Mason]

Meaning you would say the room. The majority got it. No. Okay, that's fair. I said heart. That's not.

[Randall Brody]

That's not right.

[Nate Mason]

So the room.

[Phil]

Not you would say the majority. Got a slight minority.

[Randall Brody]

Nate, does chess.

[Seth]

Tied a chicken heart.

[Randall Brody]

Does Chesapeake Bay magazine have anything else to tell us about this?

[Nate Mason]

Oh, I'm about to tell you about it.

[Phil]

Yeah, please.

[Seth]

But not as difficult as time.

[Phil]

Minority got it.

[Nate Mason]

Successful chicken necking is accomplished in five steps. One, tie a chicken neck to some twine. Two, throw the chicken. The neck. Chicken neck in the water, preferably in the Chesapeake Bay. Three, let the neck sit for at least five minutes. Four, slowly pull the chicken neck towards the surface of the water, ensuring eating. Feeding crabs are not spooked off the bait. And five, once within range, scoop the crab off the chicken with a net.

[Seth]

Why do you gotta wait five minutes if there's one on there? After 30 seconds?

[Nate Mason]

You just don't know. It's always murky water, so it's time.

[Phil]

There. We did that. Chicken neck long lining for blue crabs.

[Seth]

I was. That was it.

[Phil]

Yeah, you were at that. That was fun.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Chicken neck long liner for crabs.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Seth]

The way he was able to, like, scoop and run at the same time, that was impressive.

[Phil]

We filled a basket.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Tie, throw, sit, pull, scoop.

[Nate Mason]

There you go.

[Randall Brody]

Gotcha.

[Nate Mason]

It's a great time. If you ever find yourself in that part of the country, just do it like in Maryland. Maryland. That's the spot. Chesapeake Bay. 301.

[Randall Brody]

What up?

[Nate Mason]

Question seven, please.

[Phil]

There's about seven people who appreciate that.

[Nate Mason]

The protagonist of this 2004 movie claims he used a frickin 12 gauge to hunt wolverines in Alaska with his uncle.

[Seth]

If Randall's not writing it down immediately.

[Nate Mason]

The protagonist of this 2004 movie claims he used a frickin 12 gauge to hunt wolverines in Alaska with his uncle.

[Corey]

Wait, in real life or the character?

[Nate Mason]

The character.

[Corey]

Like as the character.

[Nate Mason]

The character. Okay. I think I can get into your head on this one, man. I want to give a hint so bad.

[Randall Brody]

No, don't.

[Phil]

Do you know it, Randall?

[Randall Brody]

I think so.

[Phil]

I don't.

[Randall Brody]

There's not a lot of context here to work with.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

To be fair. But I could add some.

[Randall Brody]

No, I wouldn't.

[Corinne]

Yeah, I think there's any more context you added, it would give it away because.

[Nate Mason]

I know. I know. Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Just celebrate.

[Nate Mason]

Spencer warned me not to do it. This film, I want to do it.

[Randall Brody]

This film just celebrated its 20th anniversary two years ago.

[Nate Mason]

Easy now.

[Phil]

That makes sense.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, that's math.

[Seth]

Where was I?

[Nate Mason]

If you remember what you were doing.

[Randall Brody]

Two years ago and what movies were celebrating their 20th anniversary. Foreign.

[Corey]

I'm going for a big old bullseye in this game.

[Nate Mason]

I want to do it, Phil.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Come on, Nate.

[Phil]

Do it for the jabronis everywhere.

[Nate Mason]

All right, here we go.

[Randall Brody]

I just gave you a clue. I said the name of the actor.

[Nate Mason]

You have to listen real close.

[Phil]

Not very loud.

[Nate Mason]

No, don't do it.

[Corinne]

Don't.

[Corey]

No.

[Nate Mason]

Shh.

[Randall Brody]

Don't do added clues.

[Nate Mason]

I'm doing it.

[Seth]

You can't say you said the actor and then not say the actor again.

[Nate Mason]

I'm not giving the name actor. I'm g. Give you the clip. There's not a rule that you have.

[Randall Brody]

To replace what you're saying.

[Nate Mason]

A freaking 12 gauge. What do you think?

[Seth]

Oh, Jesus.

[Nate Mason]

Oh. Like, it was too big. It was too much. Oh, oh, oh. But you need his name. The actor's name.

[Corinne]

So mad right now. Nate, this is.

[Nate Mason]

That's horrible. I. I just had to do it out.

[Corey]

My stupid answer.

[Randall Brody]

That's horrible.

[Corey]

I'll just keep it.

[Randall Brody]

Horrible, horrible, horrible. That's some of the worst hosting.

[Phil]

I had Tropic Thunder written down.

[Nate Mason]

Just.

[Phil]

I was like, trying to think, dude.

[Corinne]

Yeah, Nate, that was a bad call.

[Nate Mason]

You win some, you lose something.

[Corey]

Oh, my gosh. I didn't even write the movie. I just wrote the acting.

[Phil]

You didn't have Tropic Thunder down.

[Corey]

I don't question mark.

[Randall Brody]

There goes.

[Phil]

That was good.

[Nate Mason]

That was good acting. Thank you.

[Seth]

I'm writing it down.

[Corinne]

That was my chance.

[Nate Mason]

I can do most good acting.

[Randall Brody]

Terrible hosting.

[Corinne]

Terrible hosting. Especially since you want me to play the clip? After you finish the.

[Phil]

I benefited. I think it was terrible. Like, I feel dirty.

[Seth]

It was a bad impression, but it was enough.

[Phil]

Yeah, I feel good. I have.

[Randall Brody]

Thank you.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. You should have just said it.

[Randall Brody]

Stars John Heater.

[Phil]

You know, like, you like the whole, like, dirty hands, all that garbage, clean money, you know, and all that. Now I feel like I got dirty money.

[Seth]

Mike Conley found nothing wrong with his hat floating in holter. And he still wears it to this day.

[Nate Mason]

All right, everyone, show your answers. Seth says Napoleon Dynamite. Anthony. Napoleon Dynamite. Steve Randall. Corey.

[Randall Brody]

Imagine that, bro.

[Corinne]

Chevy Chase.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, well, Corinne did not get it.

[Phil]

That guy seems to be struggling. I somehow stumbled into him on social media.

[Nate Mason]

Are you sure that was him?

[Corinne]

He probably stumbled into the guy who's.

[Nate Mason]

The guy who's impersonating him? No. Doing sports commentary.

[Phil]

He's really still kind of hung up on that.

[Nate Mason]

No, it's him.

[Phil]

He's really still like. I think that not a lot came after that for him. Probably not.

[Nate Mason]

He did.

[Corinne]

Blades of Glory.

[Nate Mason]

Great movie.

[Corinne]

Is he in the Bench Warmers? That terrible Rob Schneider?

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah. Napoleon claims to shoot like 50 wolverines, which would represent approximately 10% of the total annual harvest of Alaskan wolverines. Play the clip, Phil.

[Corinne]

Oh, geez.

[Nate Mason]

Okay, sorry.

[Phil]

What'd you do all last summer again?

[Seth]

I told you, I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverine.

[Nate Mason]

Did you shoot any?

[Seth]

Yes, like 50 of them. They kept trying to attack my cousins. What the heck would you do in a situation like that?

[Nate Mason]

What kind of gun did you use?

[Seth]

A freaking 12 gauge.

[Nate Mason]

What do you think? Just doesn't hold up. It's such a good movie.

[Phil]

Doesn't hold up.

[Nate Mason]

Very funny.

[Phil]

I tried to show it to my kids. It didn't. It just doesn't hold up.

[Nate Mason]

Do you think it's funny? I did.

[Phil]

When I saw it, I thought it was hilarious. You gotta watch it.

[Nate Mason]

Doesn't hold up. It's funny.

[Phil]

Not everything holds up.

[Nate Mason]

Nope. Question eight. We'll get a scoreboard.

[Phil]

You know what else does it hold up? Teen wolf.

[Nate Mason]

No.

[Corinne]

You just tell he's not really a wolf.

[Nate Mason]

Question 8 Topics. Cooking. According to Barbecue Champs Academy, this five letter word refers to when the internal temperature of meat suddenly stops rising for several hours. Hmm.

[Phil]

What?

[Nate Mason]

Can you read it again? Actually, I need to read it again.

[Randall Brody]

Nate.

[Nate Mason]

According to Barbecue Champs Academy, this five letter word refers to when the internal temperature of meat suddenly stops rising for several hours during a cook. I added that last little tidbit on there because I deleted at one point. Five letters.

[Corey]

Oh, that's six letters. Shit.

[Nate Mason]

We'll hit the YouTube audience one more time. According to Barbecue Champs Academy, this five letter word refers to when the internal temperature of meat suddenly stops rising for several hours during a cook.

[Phil]

If I got this right, it's just gonna be because of pure genius. It'll be because I just made it up.

[Corinne]

You know, like genius.

[Phil]

Because I. Like, I thought it through and made it up.

[Nate Mason]

You're not a big smoker.

[Phil]

Capital J. Listen, buddy.

[Nate Mason]

I'm listening. I've been smoking when you.

[Corinne]

When you were diapers on your mom's.

[Nate Mason]

Huh?

[Phil]

I just not familiar with Barbecue Champs Academy.

[Nate Mason]

Perhaps they're out of Chesapeake Bay.

[Phil]

Columnists at Chesapeake Bay Magazine, apparently.

[Randall Brody]

And.

[Corinne]

I'm sure all respectable journalists, every one of them.

[Phil]

Randall has no answer.

[Nate Mason]

I consider that a success as a host. You got one, Seth.

[Phil]

I think I got it. I do, but what's your. Seth, let me look. I'm not gonna change my answer.

[Corey]

What is going on?

[Nate Mason]

Reminds me of high school again.

[Phil]

When I show you what I got, I think you're gonna like it better.

[Nate Mason]

Probably five letters. Five letters. Sure. It makes sense. Mine makes sense. At least here.

[Phil]

Not as much sense as this.

[Nate Mason]

Does everyone have an answer? Basically the same thing. Break out the thesaurus.

[Randall Brody]

I'm not curiously writing.

[Nate Mason]

I just.

[Randall Brody]

Whatever.

[Nate Mason]

Randall's flustered.

[Randall Brody]

How about you tell the whole room this answer?

[Nate Mason]

Are you still mad about giving away.

[Randall Brody]

The entire answer to the room?

[Nate Mason]

Yes.

[Corinne]

Yeah. How many people got that? After his impression, who would not have gotten it? Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

There you go.

[Phil]

I had dropped thunder down.

[Seth]

4.

[Corinne]

Four contestants were given an answer by me that altered the outcome of the game.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, I had Ricky Bobby. Nice.

[Phil]

Felt dirty.

[Nate Mason]

All right, everyone ready? Reveal your answers. Seth says level. Anthony says hold. Steve says bench. Randall says peak.

[Phil]

No, he says holds.

[Nate Mason]

Didn't I say that? He said holds.

[Phil]

He said singular.

[Nate Mason]

Hold. Corinne says question mark.

[Corey]

Well, it's Corey says, but it's six letters, so that's wrong.

[Nate Mason]

Corey says rest, and Brody says break. The correct answer is stall.

[Corey]

What?

[Nate Mason]

The stall is a thermodynamic phenomenon in low temperature.

[Phil]

What makes that five letters?

[Nate Mason]

That's where I go to the bathroom. The spelling.

[Phil]

S, T, A, L, L. Oh, yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Phil]

I thought. You want to cut that out, Phil?

[Corinne]

Can I keep my job if I don't?

[Phil]

Yeah. That's not how I was thinking about it.

[Nate Mason]

The stall is a thermodynamic phenomenon in which low temperature meat cooking where the internal temperature of a cut plateaus typically around 160 degrees Fahrenheit. And remain stagnant for several hours. This is caused by evaporative cooling, a process in which thermal energy provided by the heat source is offset by the energy consumed as moisture evaporates. Similar to perspiration, the moisture migrating from the muscle fibers to the surface creates a cooling effect. Dude, if any of y' all had ever smoked anything, you know what this is because it's the most stressful time of your life.

[Randall Brody]

Steve, have you smoked anything?

[Nate Mason]

What's the score? That is question eight.

[Phil]

So give us a scoreboard up there.

[Nate Mason]

Hey, there we are.

[Corinne]

Here we go after question eight.

[Phil]

Oh, holy cow.

[Corinne]

Corinne, zero points. Seth, two points. Anthony and Corey, three points. And tied up in first place are Randall Brody and, yes, Stephen Rinella with four points.

[Seth]

They say the cream rises to the top.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, the cream.

[Randall Brody]

The cream would have been four to three, to three, to two, to two.

[Corinne]

To two.

[Phil]

You did get screwed, right?

[Nate Mason]

I know. All right.

[Randall Brody]

I don't even want to win anymore, so have more of an axe to grind.

[Nate Mason]

Question nine is you can get more.

[Phil]

Out of the bitterness than you went.

[Nate Mason]

Out of a win.

[Nate Mason]

Question nine is gear. As of January 1, 2025, California banned the use of forever chemicals in all new textiles and apparel. What is the four letter acronym for this class of synthetic chemicals?

[Corey]

I got it.

[Nate Mason]

I think I know this one because.

[Corinne]

She talks to me about it all the time.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, this is a big part of my Life. As of January 1, 2025, California banned the use of forever chemicals in all new textiles and apparel. What is the four letter acronym for this class of synthetic chemicals?

[Randall Brody]

Mm, the whole room's got answers.

[Nate Mason]

Everyone got answers. Alright, show them. Seth says pfas. Anthony. Pfas. Everyone's got pfas.

[Phil]

Good job.

[Nate Mason]

It's like we work in an apparel company. Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances are chemicals used for their water, grease and heat resistant properties in many products like cookware, rain gear and firefighting foam. These chemicals break down very slowly, accumulate in the environment, are linked to increased risks of various health problems. Interestingly, California has not banned the use of pfas. In cookware.

[Randall Brody]

Interesting.

[Corinne]

That's, like, the one thing you want to.

[Nate Mason]

You want to ban it in, you'd think. Very interesting. What you got going over there on your phone? Oh, it's got.

[Phil]

You know when you get a text and it says, what is this? And it's a video showing a bush, and there's something in the bush. It's just killing me.

[Nate Mason]

Okay.

[Phil]

I'm not going to look right now.

[Nate Mason]

Okay.

[Phil]

It's killing me.

[Nate Mason]

All right.

[Phil]

That's like trivia in real life.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Phil]

So we gotta. Because what is this? We could have a bonus drop where we. I send the video to Phil. Phil plays the video. Wait, is that bonus trivia? Question.

[Corey]

Is that from your trail cam?

[Phil]

What if it's like, a naked guy?

[Nate Mason]

Looks like a Martin? Should we do that before or after the question?

[Randall Brody]

I think we should do question 10 first.

[Phil]

Yeah, we don't need to do that.

[Nate Mason]

Well, we need to do a correct answer review. Question one was Sounder. That's two was three. Three was lion. Four was Steadiness, five, Albatross, six, Neck, seven, Napoleon Dynamite, eight, Stall, nine, pfas. And we'll get a scoreboard update.

[Corinne]

Oh, well, everyone got that question right. So the standings remain the same here. Everyone's just got one number higher than they had before. So we got Steve Brody and Randall with five, and Anthony and Corey with four.

[Nate Mason]

All right, question 10, natural history.

[Seth]

You know that he intentionally withheld fishing questions from this episode?

[Nate Mason]

We had a fishing question.

[Corinne]

Which one?

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, from the Chesapeake Bay. What else would it be?

[Phil]

It's a fishing question.

[Nate Mason]

Chicken question.

[Phil]

Listen, I don't like them either, but that was a fishing question.

[Corinne]

That's a crappy question.

[Nate Mason]

Question 10, natural history. This type of animal was enlisted by Polish soldiers in World War II and is famous for carrying artillery shells at the Battle of Monte Cassino. Hmm. Carrying shells, huh? This type of animal was enlisted by Polish soldiers in World War II and is famous for carrying artillery shells at the Battle of Monte Cassino. And if you think the answer is white tailed deer, you just need to say deer.

[Corinne]

No one has put pen to board yet, I believe.

[Randall Brody]

No, I answered it, Phil.

[Corinne]

Oh, you did?

[Nate Mason]

You know this one?

[Randall Brody]

I think so. Pretty sure.

[Nate Mason]

Should I give a hint? No. Yeah.

[Phil]

Now, if it was Alexander the Great, I know what I'd be writing.

[Nate Mason]

Just tell us. Elephants sound this animal makes. Nope. I've learned my last animal.

[Seth]

Or a domestic animal.

[Nate Mason]

No more hints. Sorry.

[Phil]

Can you imper. Can you do one of your impersonations where you do like a. Like you did for the other one.

[Nate Mason]

No, I've learned my lesson. That was a mistake.

[Randall Brody]

It's cool. Nate.

[Nate Mason]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Randall Brody]

This might work. This might still work out for me. Start the new year off right, but I don't know. We'll see. Could go to a tiebreaker. I could lose outright. It's anybody's game.

[Nate Mason]

Still.

[Phil]

Two Polish guys walk in a bar.

[Nate Mason]

Casino. Go on.

[Phil]

Some. This is the truth. Some of my best friends are Polish.

[Nate Mason]

Interesting.

[Corinne]

Can you tell by the size of my nose that I also am?

[Nate Mason]

You say that like we should be surprised.

[Phil]

No, I was gonna. I was making an excuse because I was gonna tell a Polish joke. And then I felt like I should do what people do when they do that and they point out to some of my best friends.

[Seth]

My dad would say, my wife's Polish.

[Phil]

Before he told the truth.

[Seth]

Oh, man. Am I holding everyone up?

[Nate Mason]

No, you're good.

[Phil]

You have it.

[Corinne]

I put an animal down.

[Phil]

I don't know, but I'm looking forward to sharing how I came up with my answer.

[Nate Mason]

Me, too.

[Randall Brody]

I'm just trying to remember the animal's name.

[Nate Mason]

If you remember the name.

[Randall Brody]

I'm pretty sure I have the first few syllables.

[Phil]

What, like he's got an actual name?

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah, it's a famous. What?

[Phil]

Can we just get on with it?

[Nate Mason]

Is it one animal? Brody's still thinking.

[Seth]

No, I'm not.

[Nate Mason]

Everybody got their answers. All right, show them. Seth says Ox. Anthony says dog. Steve says Camel. Randall says brown bear.

[Randall Brody]

Oh.

[Nate Mason]

Corinne says ox. Corey says camel. And Brody says bear. The correct answer is bear.

[Phil]

Was it a brown bear?

[Nate Mason]

It was a brown bear.

[Randall Brody]

What's its name?

[Corey]

Oh.

[Nate Mason]

Originally purchased as a cub in Iran, Vojtek, the Syrian brown bear, was adopted and officially drafted into the 22nd Artillery Supply Company to ensure he could receive rations and transportation during the Allied advance through Italy. Known for his love of beer and cigarettes, Wojtek became a legitimate contributor to the war effort. During the Battle of Monte Cassino, he mimicked the Polish soldiers by carrying crates of artillery shells for resupply. Following the war, the bear was promoted to the rank of corporal and retired to the Edinburgh Zoo, where members of his unit continue to visit him. His legacy remains as the official emblem of the 22nd company. A bear carrying an artillery shell. Pretty bad. Show the picture.

[Corinne]

Oh, yes.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah. It's a tough bear.

[Nate Mason]

What? Look at that, man. That's AI. It's not.

[Randall Brody]

No. There's pictures of him smoking.

[Nate Mason]

There's so many good ones. Yeah. How does it smoke? And he Actually smokes. He's legit. Smoke?

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Drink beer. He'd, like, wrestle with the guys. His unit guy. His unit members would sneak into the enclosure at the zoo and, like, run around, wrestle with them and stuff. Did you know why That's a great story.

[Phil]

I wrote Camel. Because doesn't Monte Casino seem like a dry desert place?

[Seth]

Yes.

[Phil]

You follow me?

[Nate Mason]

It's a mountain place. That's what I was thinking. It's a great. If you guys ever in Italy, go to Monte Casino. That's great.

[Randall Brody]

Sounds lovely.

[Nate Mason]

Big lizards. Where was Monte Casino?

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, I got his name.

[Nate Mason]

Was that.

[Randall Brody]

I got name wrong.

[Nate Mason]

Italy.

[Randall Brody]

No, I said it was. It was like Carol Wick or something.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. Close enough. Yeah.

[Phil]

Kind of a dud end, huh?

[Corinne]

Well, it's not the end, because Randall and Brody are tied with six points apiece.

[Nate Mason]

I said. Yep. I said the white tail deer thing. All right, tiebreaker. Everyone gets to. Gets to play. Because if someone hits it right on the nose, we add an extra hundred dollars number. Okay? It's always a number. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Sorry. This is my day job. It's not his day job. Numbers guy.

[Corinne]

His day. His day job.

[Nate Mason]

But the only answers that really matter are Randall and Brody, the correct answer, or. Sorry. Sorry. The category.

[Phil]

Oh, it's like Jeopardy.

[Randall Brody]

That would be a fatal mistake at this point in the game.

[Nate Mason]

I got backups. Don't worry. The category is conservation. According to the National Wilderness Institute, what percent of Ohio is considered to be public land? Huh? Go to two decimal places.

[Seth]

Come on, you got an Ohio resident.

[Corinne]

It ain't much.

[Randall Brody]

Not an Ohio resident for, well, many, many years.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Still, you're from Pennsylvania.

[Seth]

Yeah, we didn't go.

[Nate Mason]

You could, like, throw a rock and.

[Seth]

Hit Ohio, and we didn't go over across the border into that state.

[Nate Mason]

According to the National Wilderness Institute, what percent of Ohio is considered public land? Two decimal places.

[Randall Brody]

Geez.

[Phil]

Is he saying this about the decimal places? Just, like, throw everybody off or.

[Randall Brody]

What the hell is that?

[Nate Mason]

Is that by the hundreds? Is that what you mean?

[Seth]

Less chance of a. Another tie thing?

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah. Let's go. Good question. Thanks, bud.

[Randall Brody]

Well, it would really take the wind out of my sails if I lost on this question, especially considering earlier injustices.

[Phil]

But if he won, it'd be like more of a triumph story. Yeah, it'd be like. Like in Karate Kid or whatever. You know, like someone does, like, a dirty play, Right? You know, dirty hit or trick. Right. But then you beat him anyway.

[Nate Mason]

Or like you're running a race and you get tripped.

[Phil]

Yeah. Then in the end you win anyway.

[Nate Mason]

Yep. That'd be like Randall indeed. Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Or.

[Seth]

Or maybe the cheater will win.

[Phil]

But then we just.

[Randall Brody]

But then we just run the same race the next week and the next week and the next week and it soon forgot in this long string of games.

[Nate Mason]

Except by you two decimal points.

[Seth]

I didn't hear that.

[Phil]

That makes me root for Randall, man. Just that little narrative, I thought. But I kind of like a different. I like more of a Cormac McCarthy and narrative where the good guy doesn't win.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, the bad guy wins.

[Nate Mason]

Life's not fair.

[Corinne]

And Brody's the bad guy.

[Randall Brody]

I actually thought winning on that last question would have been really special because I love that bear.

[Nate Mason]

It's a great bear.

[Randall Brody]

And I don't feel like Brody even knew what it was. He just said bear.

[Phil]

There's no way he just wrote bear down for no reason. Did you?

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

That'S exactly.

[Phil]

That was a guess.

[Randall Brody]

That's exactly.

[Seth]

Picked bear and moose and pick and pick bear.

[Nate Mason]

No way. Yeah, well, hey, some people just got.

[Seth]

Guessing's a.

[Nate Mason]

Show your answers. Seth, 4.21. Anthony, 12.69. Steve, 3.00. Corrine 8.12. Corey, 2.67. Brody. And the two players that matter, Brody 7.31 and Randall, 4.73.

[Randall Brody]

Whoa.

[Nate Mason]

We have an answer within 0.08.

[Phil]

No Brody.

[Nate Mason]

The correct answer is 2.59%, making Randall our winner. Oh, Corey was.08% off.

[Randall Brody]

That's really good, Corey.

[Nate Mason]

Wow.

[Randall Brody]

That's really good.

[Seth]

Thank you.

[Nate Mason]

The dearth of Ohio public land is a direct result of the state's history as the initial site for the land Ordinance of 1785. Following the Revolutionary War, the U.S. government used the Ohio county to settle national debts, selling the landscape to private citizens and speculators. Unlike the west, where vast tracts have remained in public domain, nearly every acre of Ohio was grid in the public land survey system and privatized before the concept of public land existed.

[Phil]

Phil, do you have a way to sort of codify that? I beat Randall and Brody on the bonus question. Is that captured somewhere?

[Randall Brody]

I think now it is.

[Corinne]

Whichever one of our listeners runs like the trivia Wikipedia page or whatever, I'm sure they've got an account of it. It's gonna live online so you can capture that somehow.

[Corey]

Yeah, Team behind Corey.

[Phil]

Like an asterisk or something. I don't know.

[Nate Mason]

Sure, I could take care of it.

[Randall Brody]

Just let me know when I can celebrate my win.

[Phil]

Steven, I'll call the Randall.

[Randall Brody]

You won. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, feels good. It's been. Been a real dark period in my trivia life. So happy to be on top. And it's a well hosted game. Except for question seven. I'd like to donate this, my winnings actually, to Ohio BHA so I can.

[Nate Mason]

Buy some more public land.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, they. They do a lot of important work with creating access.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Creating new public land. So it's overdue. I know they had a. I know they had a big project going that had a. They needed to get a certain amount of funds by the end of the year. So I've failed them in securing that winning before that deadline. But hopefully this can go to good use.

[Corinne]

Hey, Anthony, you're part of financial planning, right? Do you think we might be able to throw in like an annual subscription to Chesapeake Bay magazine in there as well? Certainly. Cool.

[Nate Mason]

Excellent.

[Phil]

Full page ad. Well, I don't really know what to say. No, no, I think we should just.

[Randall Brody]

I think we should just go around the room. I thought it. I thought it was fun.

[Corinne]

Go around the room and talk about how we felt it went.

[Randall Brody]

I thought it was good.

[Nate Mason]

Nate. Yeah. We call this an after action review in the business as a hot wash. Yeah.

[Phil]

Well, last night, you know, you know, like let's say you're watching a football game, and afterward they go up and they want to talk to the coach.

[Nate Mason]

And the quarterback of the losing team or the winning team. Well, yeah, because you'd be the.

[Phil]

Let's say you did like you did a quick interview with the loser, for instance. I'd be happy to.

[Nate Mason]

All right. Steve, how are you feeling right now? Tough loss. You caused it all by yourself.

[Phil]

Well, I did beat on the bonus question. I did beat the two winners.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah, tell us about that.

[Phil]

Well, if you think about it, it would have tied me up for the win if it was out of order.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, same. That's a great thought. Unfortunately, that's not how games are played.

[Phil]

You lost.

[Nate Mason]

Now let's cut over to the real winner. Randall, what are your thoughts?

[Randall Brody]

I. I mean, it's not easy to sit in that, to sit in that chair as the, the, the host of this whole event. There's a lot of personalities in the room. You know, you're. You've got a lot to read, you've got a lot to keep track of. Ultimately, I think you did a great job. I think we can take the, the tape and look for areas for improvement for next time. But, you know, you come out here with the right attitude and I think you can walk away with your head held high.

[Nate Mason]

I thought you were going to talk about your performance.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, no, I won.

[Seth]

You can base his performance on the shade of red on his face. And it's not super red.

[Nate Mason]

It's gotten a lot less red.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, yeah. No, I feel. I feel good. I feel good.

[Nate Mason]

It's.

[Randall Brody]

It's like I said, we've had a rough couple months on the Randall team. Team RA I was supposed to wear my random shirt. That'll come next time. But, you know, you just got to keep playing, keep swinging, and eventually you'll connect and you can find your winning ways. So.

[Nate Mason]

Wise words. Yeah. Thanks for joining Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[Randall Brody]

Thanks for hosting, Nate. Thank you.

[Corinne]

Some of us do a lot of swinging.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions, questions down. And he likes taking those two and three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.

[Podcast Announcer]

This is an I heart podcast.

[Phil]

Guaranteed human.
