Transcript

[A]

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. It's a me podcast.

[B]

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 Steve Giannis, Randall Brody, Seth, and Corey. This is episode one of the fourth annual Meat Eater Trivia Championship. The competition will span three episodes. Whoever has the most points after 30 questions will be declared the newest Meat Eater Trivia champion.

[A]

But first, before I answer my own question.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

When Phil had that little tissy, the listeners won't be able to. Yeah.

[B]

You know, we had a false start on meteor trivia when Phil was having that tissue.

[A]

I answered my own question.

[C]

You need to write your name down.

[A]

On your board at this point. He knows, Because this way you get three episodes out of the championship.

[B]

We get three episodes out of the championship. That's right. Yeah. Whole months of content. I would prefer if you put your name on the whiteboard. I'm just more than Steve. Yeah, Steve. We had to pause a story he was telling before the mics turned on because it seemed too good to not be recorded. Steve got an angry text from his wife. Yeah.

[A]

Which I did often.

[D]

Is that where it all started, was with the text?

[A]

No, it started. So if I was gonna tell the story, be this.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It'd be like. We're having an exceptionally mild winter. I've extended my. We've been catching some coyotes and some foxes, and they are. I don't know if this is the function of the mild winter. They. I have never seen fleas ever. I mean, have you ever seen fleas like what you're seeing, what you've seen?

[E]

No.

[A]

Never seen fleas like this.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So bad. Well, yeah. So bad that I. I cut my hand.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

So I had to have this. My story's out of order. So bad that we were skinning one and I had my shop vac running to shop vacation fleas. I'm skinning one in my garage. I'm skinning a coyote in my garage. My protocol normally is I. I would, like, bring them into the garage quickly, skin them, bag them, throw them in the freezer, because the freezer will kill the fleece. And then pull them out, flush them, stretch them, so my kid distracts me. I'm in the garage working, and my kid pokes his nose in the garage, says, hey, dad, whatever. And I looked up and. And cut myself good. And got 10 stitches across back my thumb.

[B]

It's actually your kid's fault.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Distracted me. I keep, you know, I Try not to tell him that too much, but I honestly, I don't even know how I. I don't know how I did it. I'm joking about his being his fault. He said something and I'm like talking to him and not paying attention. Cut my hand. So here I leave a half skinned coyote hanging there all day. When I'm skinning, I like to put my. I put a one piece, it's like a knockoff Carhartt one piece. Like a walls. Yeah, Zip up one piece with. Got. It's got cuffs on it, cover all coverall, latex gloves.

[E]

Right.

[A]

So like a Hazmat suit. Yeah, do it. I'll throw, I'll hang it up outside, whatever, you know. And I try to do some management, tick management, flea management. I wasn't when this happened. I was being quick about it. And then it hung there all day because my wife had to take me to the emergency room to get stitched up. So I get home, then I gotta get my neighbor to help me so I can't pull on anything. So then that night I'm laying there in bed. See this part my wife doesn't know. She'll never know. If she doesn't listen to the show. She doesn't know this, this is the funny part. So I'm laying there that night and I'm, you know, I'm hurting and I'm laying there and I can feel those sons of like up in my hair. And I'm not like a big shower guy, you know, I'm not always running around taking showers for no reason, you know. But I'm laying there in bed next to my beautiful wife and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna take a shower. So you know, like no one gets in bed, right? Like no one gets in bed and lays there a. And then like it's gonna go take a shower.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

And.

[D]

And when you said it doesn't even.

[A]

Like click with it. She doesn't even think to be like a wine world. She's probably like, oh, he got hurt, whatever. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. So I put my hand in a sandwich bag, you know, my cut in the sandwich bag and I'm in there washing up. I never mentioned it. Well, I'm aware that I'm like get, I'm worried. I got a lot of flea bites. But I'm thinking it's just on me, you know, so what we're laughing about getting this. So I get, I get these all the time. Stuff of this nature. She sends me a tag. I wish I could find one from when we were messing with these skunks. It was like the same basic text.

[B]

And how. How many days or hours later was this text sent?

[A]

Several days.

[B]

Several days since you were laying in bed with fleas. Yeah.

[A]

And you know what? It wound up being like, it kind of blew over. She says escaped. She says, I am at tennis and can't figure out why my ankles are so itchy. I have small itchy bumps on both ankles. If you brought fleas into our house because of the things you trapped, you need to figure that out. Like, before work. I am not going to live like this.

[B]

That's a good threat.

[E]

But.

[A]

But, you know, as the guys are.

[B]

Pointing out, like, how many years have you been married?

[A]

Yeah. Be like, yeah, you are. I thought I was in bad shape. I thought I was gonna be in a lot of trouble. And we had this happen before, and she had already forgotten about it. So I'm, like, referencing. I'm like, the last time this happened, if you remember. Just I said it's like some mosquitoes get in your house, you get bit, but it's not like it's. It's not that way for the rest of your life. It's just for, like, whatever period of time they're in the house. So I'm like, they're here. Like, last time. She's like, what do you mean, last time? I'm like, the last time you freaked out about the flea bites.

[D]

So is a flea infestation. Is that, like, not a thing? Like when you get. Like when you have bed bugs. Right? Like, you get them and then they get in your program, and like, all of a sudden you have to make big changes. Right.

[A]

I have never found. Well, think when you hunt in cottontails.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

When you're hunting cottontails.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You can't go hunting cottontails without getting your wrist bit up. But you don't then have them in your house. That's what I was telling her because she. She, like, right away starts doing Internet research. They could, you know, but all their, like, magical capabilities. I'm like, dude, it's not like that. It's already over.

[E]

Can I tell you something that's. You're not gonna like to. You're not gonna want to hear.

[A]

Sure.

[E]

My old man, who's been in the pest control industry for a long time, has seen some infestation fleas in people's houses. But they're like carpets crawling with.

[B]

Oh, really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Don't tell her that.

[C]

But especially when You've got a dog that can breathe.

[A]

Yeah, we got the thing. Yeah, it's.

[E]

It's always in houses that have a lot of animals.

[A]

Well, the last time I got busted, I left Kyle on the floor the garage and had to run off to work. So our dog's out there like associating with it.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And the text message then the first text message is, what's wrong with our dog? And I play it dumb like I.

[B]

Don'T know, could be anything.

[A]

And then she starts putting together, you know, there's gotta be a court, like if there's a coyote in the garage. And they're always full of fleas, as you like to point out. And our dog now has fleas. Don't. Don't act like you don't know what's going on.

[B]

What's the current status of the flea situation? They're gone. Okay.

[A]

She changed the bedding out.

[B]

All right.

[E]

Do you give the dog some flea and take every once in a while.

[A]

She takes care of all that. I'm assuming she does.

[B]

Probably.

[A]

Very responsible dog owner.

[F]

Miraculous.

[A]

Yeah, good story. There's no way our dog doesn't have that because it has things it doesn't need. It has everything it needs.

[E]

See, our Kelsey doesn't give. We don't give our dog flea and take unless we have to. So when I'm.

[A]

Maybe don't you just bathe them to get them off?

[E]

Well, yeah, but I don't know what they do.

[A]

I honestly don't know.

[E]

So I'm always worried about giving that dog fleas.

[B]

Seth declared that we should see Steve's pickup. It's so flea infested. That's still the case?

[A]

Yeah. The bag.

[B]

Oh, sure.

[A]

I don't know. Go lay back there. I'm already planning on pressure washing. My neighbor gave me a real heavy wool felt carpet pad that I like to have back there, but I'm going to pressure wash that mother liquor. Is your neighbor.

[D]

Is your neighbor feeling better about our little situation that we had?

[A]

Oh yeah, told me about that. He got a little mad at me and Yanni.

[B]

All right, another story for another episode for the sad of the week this.

[A]

Week I still haven't told him what you told me.

[D]

So he's still mad?

[A]

Yes, he's still mad.

[B]

Let's recap last year's tournament, which was also a three episode series. Randall won with 26 points, followed by Steve with 24 and Brody with 22. Randall had a wire to wire victory, leading after episode one and two before winning the whole thing. In episode three. Let's get some predictions. Who do you think will be this year's champion? We asked Doug Duran on last year's episode. He thinks it's going to be Brody or Randall this year.

[A]

That's stupid. Why doesn't he think me?

[B]

He said you'll probably argue your way into, you know, a top finisher. But he doesn't think if you have to come by it on your own accord with just providing correct answers that you can do it.

[A]

Dogs.

[D]

Oh, Doug.

[C]

Probably Doug one being so bubbly there.

[B]

Corey, who do you think's gonna win this year? Oh, I'd have to put my money on Brody. Brody. Okay, Brody.

[A]

Look at Randall. When he said Brody, he's trying to get. Oh, that's what you're doing. I got him in my skin.

[B]

Do you have it in you? Are you gonna win it this year?

[A]

I. I mean, I don't know. I'd have to wait till the game's over.

[B]

All right, Brody. Brody's been on a heater as of late, really crushing Randall whenever the two of them are in the room at the same time. Brody, is that gonna carry over?

[C]

I'm keeping my mouth shut.

[D]

Spencer, you know the questions.

[B]

I know the questions.

[D]

And so I think that you have a pretty good idea about how I will fare.

[B]

These questions are more core to meat eater than sometimes I get like go to the edge of our universe to make a topic work.

[C]

It's music to my ears.

[B]

I think for these 30 questions, you just gotta be like a pure, knowledgeable outdoorsman to win. So that's what it's going to take. Seth, that means you could win it. All right?

[D]

One that can identify a mountain lion track compared to a wolf track.

[C]

I used to say because Yannis skied a bunch, he wasn't a true outdoorsman. Is he now a true outdoorsman because he spends all, all winter chasing lions?

[A]

Becoming a true outdoorsman. And there's no snow.

[D]

I'm still doing it.

[A]

Thanks to global climate change. Yanni is a true outdoorsman.

[B]

Randall Yanni, any predictions? This year's tournament 30 questions.

[F]

I know.

[A]

I'll tell you one last.

[F]

I know the desired outcome.

[A]

Didn't you win?

[E]

Yes. I think Giannis is going to be a top contender this year.

[D]

What is the winner again?

[B]

Well, the winner will get to make. Just like last year. We're banking all the money to the end. It's going to be a two thousand dollar donation. But that could be influenced if somebody throws a perfect game. For example, if we have someone who hits it right on the nose if we do go to overtime, which has not happened in the Meat Eater Trivia tournament history. So $2,000 is the donation, plus we have the. The plaque that will get their name on it.

[F]

So my name.

[B]

What do you got?

[A]

They cuz I cut it skin and something. They put me on a antibiotic for tularemia.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And I'm. And I'm sitting there, and I'm kind of trying to argue with them, you know, I'm like, come on, Katie. Who's already annoyed. She's like, are you like, by what position do you think you're in? You're, like, debating.

[B]

I'm surprised that's the one they would go for.

[A]

Well, I know that's what I was.

[B]

Kind of fever, right?

[A]

I was kind of one. That was my argument. I was kind of like, why that? Yeah, like rabbit. I said, you ever heard of rabbit fever? She's like, no. I'm like, wow.

[B]

Neither of the doctors. All right, like last year. And I said, it's a $2,000 donation. That would be. Be banked until the end. I've had all these questions fact checked by Maggie Hudlo, our director of web content. So I'm confident that Steve won't do any arguing today.

[A]

It wouldn't be a. Wouldn't be like a factual issue. It'd be like a wording issue.

[B]

Sure. Well, Maggie was also okay with these. All right, the Shelby index for this episode is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[E]

You tend to win everything.

[D]

Randall sounds nervous. Round one.

[A]

You look great in that hat, Randall.

[B]

Thank you. Question 1. The topic is fishing, and this is multiple choice. Didn't even notice. Which of these rivers is longest? Is it Rio Grande, Ohio River, Columbia river, or Tennessee River? Which is longest? Rio Grande, Ohio, Columbia, Tennessee. Nobody has wrote down an answer.

[D]

You just got to be a regular old good outdoorsman and have really good geography skills.

[B]

That's right. I think they go hand in hand. Which of these rivers is longest? Rio Grande, Ohio, Columbia, Tennessee. Still have six blank whiteboards in the room. Randall and Steve coming up with their answers. Steve writing in a manner that ensures nobody can cheat off him. Which is longest? Rio Grande, Ohio River, Columbia River, Tennessee River. Nobody knew this right off the bat. Six educated guesses in the room. I think we're waiting on Brody.

[C]

Oh, I got something written down.

[B]

I'll stick to everybody. Ready? Cory, go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth and Giannis say Rio Grande. Randall, Columbia. Corey crossed out Rio Grande, said Columbia. Steve says Columbia. Brody, Rio Grande. The room is split. The correct answer is the Rio Grande.

[A]

Right off the bat.

[B]

Right off the bat. At 1800 miles, the Rio Grande is the fourth longest river in America.

[A]

I was gonna put that.

[B]

The Columbia is seventh at twelve hundred miles, the Ohio is tenth at a thousand miles, and the Tennessee is twelfth at nine hundred miles. So the Rio Grande trumps the Columbia by six hundred miles.

[D]

It says it right in the name.

[B]

Yeah, that's right.

[E]

Me too.

[B]

Question number two. The topic is biology. This four letter word is defined as, quote, an insect in the stage of development after it has been a larva and before it becomes an adult.

[D]

Oh, good. Fly fisherman question here.

[B]

Four letter word is defined as an insect in the stage of development after it has been a larva and before it becomes an adult. Steve and Brody and Randall and Giannis now have their answers. You boys have this one, right?

[F]

I hope so.

[B]

Got a four letter word that makes sense.

[A]

Seth's gonna write B, U, G, G.

[B]

Four letter word is defined as an insect in the stage of development after it has been a larva and before. Before it becomes an adult.

[G]

I don't remember the last game of trivia Steve was on where he didn't just make fun of Seth for most of the episode. Completely unbiased.

[E]

I'm okay with it.

[B]

You could just write that down. Seth Corey, do you have an answer, man? I do. I'm gonna be really embarrassed if I get it wrong.

[A]

Let me see what you got.

[D]

Yeah. As a. As a ex fly fishing guide, I.

[B]

Like questions that would be like in a sixth grade biology class, and I feel like this is one of them.

[D]

Oh, yeah. My daughter is a freshman now, the oldest one. She's already talking and learning and studying about stuff. I'm like, yeah, I wasn't paying attention back then when they taught it to me. I didn't retain it. And I'm telling her, I'm like, you're already becoming smarter than your old man.

[B]

Good job. Now you get a second chance. You can just absorb some of that. You're right.

[D]

I could. I could apply myself like that. She studies a lot harder than I do.

[B]

Seth, are you ready?

[E]

I think. I don't know.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says, pupe. Giannis.

[E]

Pupae.

[B]

Pupae. Giannis. Randall. The whole room says pupa. The whole room got it right. Give it to Him. Attaboy, Seth. The correct answer is pupa pupae. Insects that enter a pupa form are those that are undergoing metamorphosis. It's French, such as butterflies, moths, lace wings, house flies and ladybugs. During this stage, the insect is immobile and protected by a hard covering. It's at this point when the insect develops its wings, legs and sexual organs.

This month, iHeartRadio is celebrating the stars of the 2026 Winter Games. Training out of Carlsbad, California, Kaylee Humphries is the definition of a track legend. Already one of the most successful bobsledders in history, she returns to the driver's seat for Team USA with her eyes locked on the podium. Navigating the twisting ice at 80 mph requires nerves of steel and perfect precision. As the reigning monobob champion, Humphries is back to show the world that she still owns the fast lane. For more Winter Games gold search olympics on the iHeartRadio app.

[B]

Question 3. The topic is hunting. This 3 volt battery, which is the most commonly used battery in rangefinders, has a name that combines two letters with a number. Corey locks in his answer first. Didn't even need to finish the question. He added. This 3 volt battery, which is the most commonly used battery in rangefinders, has a name that combines two letters with a number.

[D]

Go your gut, Brody.

[C]

I did, yeah.

[D]

Don't change it now.

[B]

Steve, do you have this one right?

[A]

Yeah, I'm pretty close.

[D]

He's got a couple letters.

[B]

This is a pupae pupa situation. You're gonna have to dead nuts nail it. This 3 volt battery, which is the most commonly used battery in rangefinders, has a name that combines two letters with a number. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth. Without an answer. Giannis.

[C]

We've all got different CR2.

[B]

Randall. CR24. Corey. CR2. Steve. CR1, 2, 5. Brody.

[A]

Oh, CR 123.

[B]

123. Brody. CR2032.

[E]

What?

[B]

The correct answer. Batteries with the correct answer is CR2. So Giannis and Corey, because you're talking.

[A]

About this, because some rangefinders run on the CR123 and some run on that little smaller one.

[B]

Most commonly used battery. Range finders come.

[D]

There's a picture of it.

[E]

CR123 is the stere pen.

[A]

Yes.

[G]

Battery.

[B]

Now, if you accepted.

[F]

If you accepted pupay for Pupa CR24 in a game where spelling no, we're.

[B]

Not going to give it to you. This is the most commonly Used battery.

[A]

You should take point away from him.

[C]

I've got a range finder that runs on a coin battery.

[A]

Well, that's what pisses me off.

[B]

Bunch CR2. The C. You're right.

[A]

Actually not. Think about it. I don't think I've seen a range finder with a CR123 in it.

[B]

The C stands for lithium chemistry. The R stands for round, which is its shape. And the 2 is the number it is in the manufacturer series. CR2 batteries look like smaller version of D batteries. Their most common uses are digital cameras, flashlights and rangefinders, as well as security systems and medical equipment. And Phil has a picture of one of them up there right now. Thanks, Phil. That is a CR2 question for the topic is public lands. Aaron Ralston cut off his right arm in 2003 while trapped in Blue John Canyon in this state. We're looking for the name of the state.

[A]

Dang.

[B]

Aaron Ralston cut off his right arm in 2003 while trapped in Blue John Canyon in this state. Brody, Steve Randall already have their answers, bro.

[D]

I was at Brody's house last night for a minute and his son had to do a report in school. And one of his examples or subjects was Aaron Ralston. And we talked about this little event last night.

[B]

Serendipity.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

But the state that he cut his arm off wasn't addressed in, was not mentioned.

[B]

Brody, did you need your son having that subject come up? You just knew this without that.

[E]

No.

[B]

Steve, you have this one right?

[A]

Who knows?

[B]

Aaron Ralston cut off his right arm.

[A]

I thought I knew the last one.

[B]

While trapped in Blue John Canyon.

[C]

Steve should have been there for that discussion last night because it was about when you go on adventures and you have to overcome risks and adversity.

[B]

And what were other examples given besides Aaron Ralston?

[G]

Did he.

[C]

He had to do like eight or ten different ones.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

All right, is everybody ready? Go ahead. He's very.

[D]

Got it right.

[B]

Seth says Arizona. Giannis and Randall and Corey and Steve and Brody say Utah. They got it. The correct answer is Utah.

[E]

You almost spotted.

[B]

My brain is splitting in half. The accident happened on the border of Canyonlands national park in southeast Utah. Ralston was solo canyoneering when an 800 pound boulder was dislodged and crushed his right hand against the canyon wall. After five days of being trapped, he noticed his arm was starting to decompose due to a lack of circulation. And that's when he decided he needed to cut it off. So he broke his arm and then used a multi tool Knife and pliers to cut his skin and tendons. He then hiked six miles before encountering a family from the Netherlands who. Who called for help. Phil has a picture that he's going to show us. This picture was taken after the accident. You're about to see Aaron's blood that was left on the canyon wall and border. This is your last chance to look away if you don't want to see it. All right, Phil, let's see that picture. Damn. That. That was taken by a crew of 13 federal employees who went there to move the boulder in there. That's his arm in there. Yep. So they had to move the Boulder. It took 13 people, a hydraulic jack, a. And you can still see the blood there. After this picture was taken, they said you could see the blood in the canyon for years afterwards. His.

[F]

His memoir is Isn't it Between a Rock and a Hard Place?

[B]

I think so. And then he had the movie 127 Hours.

[F]

James Franco.

[E]

Yes.

[F]

Great airplane fare.

[B]

That's a good endorsement.

[D]

What was. Brody gave me a little tidbit that you didn't mention. And the reason it took so long for anyone to notice he was gone or to find where he was even.

[B]

At is because where he was.

[D]

Well. And the day before he went there, he had climbed Mount Sopras in Colorado and literally walked off the mountain, which.

[E]

Is a pretty big feat.

[D]

Like, it's not like just a little hike did that. And then literally jumped in his car and drove to the. To the desert without saying nothing.

[B]

He didn't tell folks. Yeah. Where he was going to be. There's a good lesson to be there.

[D]

You might have said it and I just wasn't paying attention. But he was just in there and all of a sudden this boulder just comes crashing down. He's in the wrong place.

[B]

I saw that. It said he dislodged it, but I don't know what that means. What involvement or use it as a handhold. I don't know. Question 5. The topic is conservation. The Stop Aquatic Blank campaign that targets anglers and boaters was created by the Aquatic Nuisance Species task force in 2002.

[C]

How much I know.

[B]

We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.

[A]

Where I had real loud writing. Tell what I was writing.

[B]

The Stop Aquatic Blank campaign that targets anglers and boaters was created by the Aquatic Nuisance Species task force in 2002. And that three word quote, stop Aquatic Blank has an exclamation point at the end of it.

[A]

I'm trying My old joke. Out. Ceskin Wright.

[B]

B, U, G, G, S. You're not.

[D]

Gonna tell us how many letters are in that word?

[B]

Tell me how many letters. Stop Aquatic Blank campaign that targets anglers and boaters was created by the Aquatic Nuisance Species task force in 2002. Yanni, waffling on an answer.

[D]

Do you have any questions? Yeah, I've got two written down.

[A]

Waffling. Yanni.

[B]

Seth, do you have this one right?

[E]

I don't know. Pretty educated guess.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Randall revisiting his whiteboard. Do you have this one right?

[F]

Well, if I was revisiting my whiteboard, Spencer, do you really think I'd be.

[B]

His face isn't red.

[C]

He looks very confident.

[B]

No, I have two.

[A]

I have two.

[F]

I'm going back and forth between here.

[A]

Okay, I'm ready.

[B]

You have yours locked in. Corey, are you ready?

[D]

No.

[E]

His brain split.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says invasives. Giannis says hitchhikers. Randall says invasives. Corey says spread. Steve and Brody say hitchhikers. Yeah, the correct answer is hitchhikers. I think half of the room got that one right. Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers is responsible for the aggressive signage around the watches and fishing areas that tell you to clean, drain and dry. And if you're an angler, they also ask that you dispose, which means putting unwanted bait in the trash instead of in the water. All right, we are one.

[A]

You know, they give you that little passport for your boat and you probably lose it.

[B]

Sure.

[E]

Is that what it says on there?

[A]

What?

[B]

Stop Aquatic Hitchhiker.

[E]

It says hitchhikers on that.

[A]

Yeah, all those signs.

[B]

All the signs.

[A]

They got like a little passport for your boat.

[E]

Yeah, but I just.

[B]

Stop.

[E]

All I ever see is the clean, drain, dry thing.

[B]

Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. All right, well, 1/6 of the way through the tournament. Phil, give us a scoreboard update at.

[G]

Halftime in round one.

[A]

Wow.

[G]

We are at Seth.

[B]

Thank you.

[G]

And Randall with two points.

[A]

Oh, see, I said Yanni's over there tearing in a new one. I don't even know.

[G]

Steve and Corey have three points a piece. Brody Henderson has four. And the only person matching the Shelby index currently and with a perfect game is Giannis Boutellis with five points.

[B]

This is fun. Yeah.

[D]

Oh, and Shelby rolled a 10.

[B]

She got a five. Oh, yeah. What question are we on? We're going to question.

[A]

Johnny's kind of a creeper over there. Not a creeper, but like a sleeper. Whatever you think. Both.

[B]

Question 6. The topic is hunting.

[A]

Just over there kind of quietly kicking ass.

[B]

This condition causes ringing in your ears and is defined as, quote, the perception of sound when no actual external noise is present.

[D]

Darn it.

[B]

We've got five confident players and Corey. Yeah. This condition causes ringing in your ears. Oh, Brody. I spoke too soon. Four confident players and Corey and Brody.

[C]

One of those things where the word's not.

[B]

This condition causes ringing in your ears and is defined as everybody in this room. Perception of sound. I don't know how to spell it.

[F]

But I can hear it.

[B]

External noises present. We'll give you a point for it.

[D]

I had it so bad the other.

[E]

Night, I couldn't sleep.

[B]

Really? Did it wake you up or just not let you go to sleep?

[E]

Just wouldn't let me go to sleep.

[B]

The folks in this room have made me very good about ear protection because of their experience with this. This condition causes ringing in your ears.

[A]

Like with my kids, I pounded into them.

[B]

And is defined as the perception of sound when no actual external noise is present.

[D]

You know, he's not a hunter, but is really good at. Good with. About it.

[A]

With construction equipment stuff.

[D]

Yeah. And is. And is so good about it that it sort of inspires you to be good about it. But it's Travis Barton. When you're hanging out with him in his shop, I mean, it's like he's gonna go pick up a Phillips screwdriver.

[A]

He probably got that in the fire department, too.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Loud equipment.

[D]

I'm sure.

[A]

Because they just run around. You know, they drive with them on and stuff. So he probably just became used to doing it.

[D]

Yeah. But I mean, like, he's like a guy where you're like, ah, it's just one cut. And he's like, yep.

[C]

No, it's not gonna pop in. Like, it's just.

[D]

Protection program.

[A]

Let me see what you got.

[B]

Yeah, I think I got the first letter.

[E]

The only thing I don't.

[B]

You ever heard of that?

[D]

I failed to on that.

[G]

No.

[B]

Is everybody ready? Okay, go ahead and reveal yours.

[A]

You could have written that for every word, for everything, three different ways.

[B]

That's what I meant. Seth, Giannis, Randall. Say tinnitus. Corey. Epulation. It depends on what part of the region you're from.

[A]

Steve. Tinnitus story. New doctor.

[B]

Correct answer is tinnitus. Tinnitus.

[A]

I'm talking to a doctor and he says he's. He keeps saying tinnitus. Tinnitus. And I'm like, is that how you say that? He goes, I don't know how you say it.

[B]

Good for that doctor. Tinnitus affects about 20% of people and is More common in older adults. It is typically caused by age related hearing loss, an ear injury or a circulatory problem. Mayo Clinic says those who are exposed to heavy equipment, chainsaws or firearms are the most likely demographic to have tinnitus.

[A]

Oh, just. I would do anything to go back in time and protect my ears, man.

[B]

Question 7. The topic is fishing. This fishing brand with a cartoony name is best known for the Cast Master and Little Cleo. This fishing brand with a cartoony name is best known for the Cast Master and Little Cleo. Seth has his answer. He's the only one.

[E]

One of my favorites.

[B]

Okay. One of those lures or the brand itself?

[E]

Well, for ice fishing, the Cast Master, but the brand as a whole.

[B]

This fishing brand with a cartoony name is best known for the Castmaster and Little Cleo.

[A]

You got a Yanni?

[B]

No, Seth. Maybe I'm gonna need a little flavor.

[D]

Oh, a cartoony name fishing brand.

[E]

Now this is a fishing question.

[B]

There you go.

[E]

Nothing to do with the NBA.

[B]

No sports, no geography.

[A]

Good old fishing.

[E]

Pure fishing.

[C]

I bet you I'd have got this immediately if you wouldn't have put cartoony in there.

[B]

There. Oh, okay. I'll just forget I said that part.

[D]

This fishing brand with a name is best known for the Cast Master and Little Cleo.

[B]

That's right. They have a name. Bugs Bunny. Brody, do you own some Cast Masters and Little Cleo?

[C]

And we used to use Little Cleos for salmon in Lake Erie. I don't use them around here for anything.

[B]

So there's a lot of Cast Master and Little Cleo ownership in this room. But only Seth. He's confident.

[A]

I still buy. Like when we go down to Baja, like buy Cast Masters.

[D]

Dude.

[B]

This could ruin the perfect game for Giannis. This is question seven.

[D]

Yeah. What is a. I don't the. The adjective cartoony.

[B]

This fishing brand with a cartoony name is best known for the Cast Master and Little Cleo. Phil, would you say. Would you say that's a cartoony name?

[G]

Oh, totally. I thought that was very clever.

[B]

Totally, totally.

[D]

Cartoony film says it's clever.

[B]

Randall, do you have this one right?

[F]

I'm not sure.

[B]

Okay. Is it a cartoony name you have?

[F]

Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

I think so.

[B]

Fishing brand with a cartoony name is best known for the Castmaster and Little Cleo.

[E]

I think that's plenty of time, Spencer.

[B]

I tend to agree with you, Seth. Oh, are you? Other four?

[D]

I just gotta come up with.

[B]

Going to give up the Cast Master in Little Cleo. Do you give up Giannis? Writing down a cartoony name.

[F]

It's not cartoony at all.

[D]

My name. What I wrote down. Yeah, well, at least I wrote down something.

[E]

Do you have it, Randall? I'm.

[F]

I'm not sure.

[B]

Okay. Randall kind of needs this one to hang around.

[F]

You're telling me, Spencer, you're telling me.

[B]

Brody now has an answer? Brody? No, no, no. Okay. He just gives up. Steve. You give up?

[A]

No, I. I got some, but.

[B]

Okay. Yanni, do you give up?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Acme. Randall. Daredevil. Corey Ugly Sticks. Daredevil.

[G]

Wrong.

[A]

Coyote's brand of choice?

[B]

The correct.

[A]

And Frazier wrote a piece one time. It was a lawsuit when Wiley Coyote sued Acme. Oh, yeah?

[B]

How did that end?

[A]

It was Coyote v. Acme.

[F]

And there's a movie, the whole script. There's a movie coming out based on that.

[A]

Oh, they must have optioned. That's cool.

[B]

Acme Tackle Company was founded in 1952 by two brothers, one of which held the Rhode island state record for a nine pound largemouth bass. Warner Brothers made the Acme name famous in the 1930s as the brand that provides faulty equipment for Wiley Coyote. They chose the name Acme because it was a popular generic business name at the time, which got your company better placement towards the front of phone books. That's.

[D]

Yeah, I don't think I knew of this fishing brand until now.

[A]

No, I wouldn't have got that. You could have given me all day and I wouldn't.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Question me all week questioning.

[A]

I wouldn't come up with that.

[B]

His cooking. This next great question is via Aaron Shelton. This six letter word is defined as a fish, especially a herring, that has been cured by splitting, salting, drying and smoking. Six letter word is defined as a fish, especially a herring, that has been cured by splitting, salting, drying and smoking. Steve, do you have this one right?

[A]

Anchovy.

[B]

Randall, do you have this one right?

[F]

I think so.

[B]

Six letter word. A fish, especially a herring, that has been cured by splitting, salting, drying and smoking. This is question eight. We'll get another scoreboard update from Philly Engineer after this.

[A]

Better than you. Oh, what do you mean?

[B]

Count six letters.

[C]

Let me see.

[A]

I'm not letting you look.

[C]

I'm not gonna change it. You asked to see mine.

[A]

This dumbest thing I've ever seen.

[B]

I don't know what he said.

[C]

Oh, wait.

[B]

Six letter word.

[A]

What I said was, I could count better.

[C]

I wasn't paying attention to the six letter thing.

[B]

Especially a herring that has been cured by splitting.

[A]

That's why you should never share answers and smoking. Yeah.

[B]

Lesson learned for Steve.

[C]

Well, you did tell me you can count better.

[A]

So.

[B]

Randall, do you have this one right?

[F]

I don't know.

[B]

And we'll get a scoreboard. Update. That hat too tight?

[A]

That's.

[F]

Yeah. I'll be honest. It's not comfortable.

[A]

Joe. Charles Portis's novel True Grit. A guy says someone has an injury care if he gets bit by a snake, and he says it's swelled up tighter than Dick's hat band. What does that mean? That's a good trivia question for you.

[B]

His hat could be tight and what?

[A]

Tighter than Dick's hat band? Yeah.

[F]

Then there's no character named Dick.

[A]

No, not that I can think of.

[D]

Huh.

[A]

If you ever read that novel.

[C]

There was a character named Le Beef, though.

[B]

Lebow.

[C]

No, they call him Le Beef in.

[B]

The movie Six Letter Word. A fish, especially a herring, that has been cured by splitting salt and drying and smoking. Let's get everybody ready.

[D]

Dude, I don't have anything.

[B]

Johnny can't find a six.

[A]

Thanks, Brody. You need to put, like, a credit like a thanks, too.

[C]

I will. I owe it all to Steve.

[B]

Of course. You have this one, right? I'm, like, 62 confident. Giannis, do you give up?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth without an answer. Giannis without an answer. Randall says kipper. Corey says pickle. Steve and Brody say kipper. They got it. The correct answer is kipper. K, I, P, P, E, R. That's what I thought.

[A]

Somewhere I looked at. Bro. What did he say he had kippered? Well, like a kippered snail. Sure.

[B]

Or not. We'd give it to him even though.

[A]

It was eight letters.

[B]

Yeah, but it would cause some drama, I'm certain. Kippers are traditionally served as a breakfast item in the uk, but are more popular as a canned snack in the United States. This word can be used as a verb, kippering, which just means that you salt something and air dry it. The USDA even provides a definition for kippered beef, which they say is a less dry version of beef jerky.

[F]

Yeah, that's what had me confused was I was thinking about the verb killing for Carol Herring.

[A]

He talks about a guy trying to have a plan to kill cattle and inject the cattle's vascular system with brine.

[E]

Oh.

[A]

Thinking he could figure out how to preserve whole cattle.

[B]

Didn't work. Kipper it. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard.

[D]

Oh, drop two.

[A]

Oh, man, I'm creeping up. I'm tiptoeing up On. Yeah.

[G]

Corey's holding on the last place with three points. Seth and Randall are up next with four points a piece.

[E]

We're tiptoeing on old Steve.

[G]

Then comes Stephen Brody with five. And Giannis doesn't have the perfect game anymore, but he's still in first place with six points.

[B]

Two questions left.

[D]

Go. Anybody's game.

[B]

Question nine, the topic is conservation.

[A]

Are there sub winners? Did you cover this?

[B]

No.

[A]

It's just one big winner.

[B]

One big winner. You know, we would count, like, say Seth wins this episode. He gets a win in the. In the tally book.

[A]

Oh, he does.

[B]

He will.

[A]

So there is a subway.

[B]

There is a subway. I thought you meant like a, you know, third, fourth place.

[A]

No.

[B]

Question nine. The topic is conservation. This 2,000 mile pipeline, which shares its name with a beer, carries oil from Alberta to Texas.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Brody and Randall and Seth and Corey have their answers. Steve and Giannis. Do not.

[A]

Give me a second.

[B]

This 2,000 mile pipeline, which shares its name with a beer, carries oil from Alberta to Texas. Steve, do you like your answer?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Yanni, you like your answer?

[D]

I got an answer. I'm gonna stick with it unless something pops up.

[B]

Six for six here.

[F]

I think the beer clue is a bit much.

[B]

2,000 mile pipeline, which shares its name with a beer, carries oil from Alberta to Texas. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Keystone. Giannis says Canadian. Randall. Steve Brody, Keystone. The correct answer is the Keystone Pipeline. The Keystone pipeline was commissioned by trans Canada in 2010, with the third phase being completed in 2016. It carries about 600,000 barrels across eight states and three provinces each day. A fourth phase of the pipeline, called the Keystone XL, was paused by Obama in 2015, then resurrected by Trump in 2016, and then paused by Biden in 2021. Trump said in 2025 that he'd like to revive the Keystone XL, but the company in charge of it has reportedly moved on from the idea. Phil has a picture of it there showing us its current route if the XL were to be completed someday, which their website doesn't even exist for it anymore. So I think that is a sign. That would be the green pipeline that you see there. Everything else is already done. All right, Phil, give us another scoreboard update before we do question 10 and wrap up episode one.

[G]

Yanni's slip up there made the game more interesting. Tightening up green a row because everyone got a point except for Giannis. So now we've got Corey with four, Seth and Randall with five, and all tied up with six points apiece are Yanni Steve and Brody.

[A]

So there's no need for like a tiebreaker.

[B]

We will do. If it comes down to a tiebreaker after episode three, there's going to be three. Three tiebreakers to see at the end of this. There's no need for no tiebreaker. At the end of episode one or.

[A]

Two, you don't give out any prize money.

[B]

No.

[F]

Do you have two questions? Do you have all the other questions selected already?

[B]

I have 24 of the 30 written. Okay, so I have six figure out.

[C]

I can get a look.

[F]

I don't need to ask. The second question is does anybody have to go anywhere after this? So we could just play straight through.

[B]

Episode two is tomorrow you're going to have to go home, wash off the. The fleas and I never thought of that.

[A]

Like you can still just do it on one shebang and then break it.

[B]

Up to get your do that.

[A]

Yeah, you just don't want to do it that way.

[B]

Did. Well, someone's schedule in this room didn't allow for that so.

[A]

And I could get tired.

[B]

Here's correct answer review so far. One was the Rio Grande. 2. Pupa. 3. CR2 battery. 4. Utah. Aaron Ralston cut off his arm. Five is Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. 6. Tinnitus. 7. Acme Tackle Co. 8. Kipper. 9. Keystone Pipeline. Here's question 10 and this last great question is via Cole Wagner. A blank cord is a single row of firewood that's 4ft high and 8ft wide, making it about 1/3 the size of a full cord.

[D]

Oh, Steve has told us about it.

[A]

I got a lot to say on this subject.

[B]

A blank cord is a single row of firewood that's 4ft high and 8ft wide, making it about one third the size of a full cord. Steve knows it. Seth, do you have this one right?

[E]

I think so.

[A]

Dude, I'm like that tortoise dude. Yanni's like that hair man. Do you know what I'm saying?

[D]

Well, what do you say?

[E]

Maybe we'll decide that like after another episode after the third game.

[F]

I know you've said this to me, dude.

[A]

This is one of the main things I talk about.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh yeah, I know.

[B]

This is a pillar of Steve's conversations.

[A]

If I were running, would I go to a party? Dude, Spencer, if I were running this.

[B]

Game, I would have looked at this.

[F]

Question, thought, Steve will know this.

[A]

And yeah, like if I was at a party making small talk, this is something I would. I would be like, you know.

[B]

I.

[D]

Was an employee, of course I was gonna butter him up a little bit. Put this question into the tournament.

[B]

Is a single row of firewood that's 4ft high and 8ft wide, making it about one third the size.

[A]

Took a look to see what he.

[B]

Wrote of a full. Do you two agree?

[D]

You don't.

[A]

You do know you said Cecil Woodman, he's got a. He's got a mage. He's majored in forestry.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

But Giannis has been chopping wood all. Cutting wood all week.

[D]

And I've been hanging out with Steve.

[A]

For a dozen years in the biz, dude, he can chop all the wood in the world and never have reason to talk about this.

[B]

He just.

[A]

He probably just looks at the pile and he's like, that looks about right. Yeah, that looks like about the pile I had last year.

[B]

A blank cord is a single row of firewood that's 4ft high and 8ft wide, making it about one third the size of. Of a full Accord.

[D]

If you fill up an eight foot bed, standard pickup truck with rounds not split yet. You reckon you got over a cord full?

[A]

Full, yeah. Because I used well, yeah. So if you put out, what's funny is, you know, when you load full rounds, it looks like you have more air gaps, but they're so densely packed that when you split it and go to pack it in, even out.

[E]

What's that?

[B]

It evens out. Yeah.

[A]

Like it looks like inefficient, but it's efficient to put rounds in there. But it's heavy. But you can carry a full cord in a truck. Oh, yeah.

[D]

Sagged my three quarter.

[A]

But you have to have more. You'd have to have racks on the side.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

That come up to about the height of the cab.

[D]

Oh, to get a cord.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, really?

[B]

Well, four feet high. Is everybody ready?

[A]

I remember cord oak was buddy, man. Had it weighed it on a scale one time a quarter oaks like £5,000 or something like that.

[B]

Corey, you give up?

[D]

I got an answer.

[A]

You know, I'll tell you this too, man. Can I tell these guys a little tidbit?

[B]

Yes. Let's get the answer first.

[G]

Here's more.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says face. Giannis says Rick.

[D]

I got it wrong.

[B]

Randall says. I've heard. Corey says third. Steve says face. Brody says half. The correct answer is face or a rick.

[A]

A rick, but not. No, not spelled like that. You don't say a rick cord.

[D]

Spelling doesn't count.

[B]

It's a. A rick of wood ic, not a rick cord. We're gonna give it.

[A]

To be honest, you Wouldn't say a rick cord.

[B]

A rick of wood is the same measurement as a face cord.

[A]

Blank cord. A rick cord is not a thing.

[B]

If I google rick cord, I bet I see that cord is a thing.

[F]

Google rick cord in quotation marks.

[A]

Rick cord in quotation marks.

[B]

Isn't that also the action of stacking wood? I. I think we're going to give it to you.

[A]

Dude, you cannot give it to him.

[B]

It's face cord.

[D]

That's what I was going to put said a blank.

[A]

And it's not a row. A rick.

[B]

You sell independently here on the spruce. They call it a face cord or rick cord. So there's someone. Timberwolf processing equipment calls it a rick cord. They call it a rick cord.

[A]

Well, they're wrong.

[B]

Let me tell you about the flavor text.

[A]

Rick cord.

[B]

A full cord is also 4ft high.

[A]

Seth, you're a wood man. Has anybody ever said you a rick Rick cord?

[E]

No Rick. We never used rick either. We never use rick.

[B]

A full cord is also 4ft high and 8ft wide, but is 4ft deep, which usually means it has three rows of wood. A face cord is the same measurement but with a single row instead of three. A face cord is also known as a rick of wood. There is a shelving cord which is bigger than a full cord. A stove cord, which is a face cord with shorter logs, and a running cord which is a long stack of wood that hasn't yet been sorted. So we're gonna give it to Yanni for the rick cord.

[A]

Dude, that is stupid.

[B]

Because the timberwolf firewood processing equipment agrees.

[A]

Why would I not be the person that decides? I was in the firewood business, man.

[B]

Woodchuckers. Firewood.net they call it a rick cord as well. R I C. Wedgers. Firewood they call it.

[A]

You bring in, send one serious wood man into this room and have and you say to him, have you ever uttered the word rick cord in your life? This is not the same thing.

[B]

Bill, give us a scoreboard update. We are one third of the way through our fourth annual meat eater Trivia championship.

[G]

It's a close game. Corey's got four. Randall Williams is next with five. Seth and Brody have six points a piece and tied for first place. They once ran for the White House on the same ticket. Now they find themselves at odds like Trumpet Pence.

[A]

It's Stephen Rinella that were the TR of trivia. Can I tell you my tidbit? Danny's reading this book. He's got this book. It's like about firewood from. It's like a Norwegian book or something. It's like the whole subject is firewood. Everything you could ever want to know about firewood anyways in there is something I didn't realize. When you like be you talk about BTUs. When they do wood BTUs, it's wood by volume. So when you rank wood and it's BTUs, it's wood by volume. If you go wood, if it's by weight, all wood is the same. BTU by weight. You follow me?

[D]

That makes sense.

[B]

Yes.

[F]

Because it's the same chemistry.

[C]

Because oak log would weigh twice as much as whatever.

[A]

Yeah. So by volume they vary by weight. They don't vary.

[B]

And I think Osage orange is like one of the highest.

[C]

B2 use black locusts.

[A]

So it'd be like it's dent. It means it's like it's not. There's something special about the cellulose. It's like book could be wrong.

[E]

I don't know.

[A]

My dad always warned me about books. Say, that's just one man's opinion.

[B]

All right, trumpet pence tied up going into episode two. We'll see you back here for the the second part of Meat Eater Trivia Tournament. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[D]

Thanks. Spencer Horse.
