Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Giannis, Randall, Brody, Laura, Nate and Marge. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There's a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For our last stat of the week, we looked at performance in the hunting category over the last year. As a reminder, Giannis led the group by getting 80% of hunting questions correct. This week, we're looking at fishing. Here are the top five.

[Giannis]

Can we guess first?

[Spencer]

Yeah, go for it, brody.

[Giannis]

Brody, number one.

[Spencer]

Give me number one. Number one is Brody Henderson. He gets 72% of questions.

[Giannis]

Now, is Steve even in this because he plays so infrequently?

[Spencer]

Steve is there. He's there.

[Giannis]

Okay, so I'm going to go fishing. Yeah, I'll give it to Steve. Number two.

[Spencer]

Steve is tied for number three. It goes Seth. Number five is Giannis at 65%, Steve and Tony Peterson at 67%, Randall at 68%, and then Brody at 72%. He's not in the top five for fishing questions.

[Randall]

He's really good at fishing, but just generally, like comparatively to other categories, is good at fishing, but overall he's probably

[Giannis]

lower than good job, Randall.

[Spencer]

Now, amazingly, Brody, 72% is what you also do at hunting. So 72% in the hunting questions and 72% fishing question. You know, balance.

[Marge]

What is Brody's worst category?

[Spencer]

Well, we'll find out. We'll. We'll do conservation next week and cooking the week after that.

[Giannis]

I feel like conservation is the hardest

[Brody Henderson]

category, but I bet you, I. I bet you for me it's cooking.

[Spencer]

Randall disagrees.

[Giannis]

Yeah, no, yeah. For everybody besides the historian of, of conservation. Yes, it's the hardest category, everybody.

[Spencer]

Conservation.

[Randall]

What would be easy for me? I never recognize that some areas I have weaknesses.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, you always complain about fishing for

[Giannis]

me and you're number two.

[Brody Henderson]

Number two.

[Randall]

But you're still beating me, so why would I stop complaining?

[Spencer]

I think conservation could be the hardest for some people. I think it's the biggest, though, and I think it's the easiest for others. If you are a spouse who's held hostage listening to this show, I appreciate that you are here and you, you're giving us your time. But also I bet their strongest category would be cooking or conservation because it's so far beyond just the core hook and bullet.

[Randall]

Speaking of spouse, I don't know, I just think you're making gender based assumptions.

[Brody Henderson]

Speaking of spouses, you're doing a spouse's episode, aren't you?

[Spencer]

We are in April. We are going to have our next installment.

[Giannis]

Did you get my gal?

[Spencer]

No, she declined the invite. Did mine come? She accepted. Yep.

[Brody Henderson]

Good girl.

[Nate]

Yeah. We have to.

[Randall]

We have to defend our championship.

[Spencer]

Ed Bow did not get the invite, but we got to figure out how to include Ed Bow on something.

[Randall]

Yeah, we.

[Phil]

We. Okay. Interesting.

[Randall]

The Williams household is still reigning champs in one realm of trivia.

[Spencer]

I saw Edbo in the parking lot the other day and I was pounding on my window to get his attention. It didn't work, so didn't get to wave to Edbo.

[Marge]

Dang.

[Spencer]

All right, we have an IFAQ today. Charlie McDonald says, I know you have regulars that send in a lot of listener submitted questions, but do they make up the majority of submissions? Do you have a lot of people that one hit wonders and send in one question ever, or is it mostly repeat customers? I don't have a great scientific way to answer this, Charlie. We do have Leland and Titus, who are the meat eater trivia question goats that send me all kinds of questions. But if I'm looking at today's script, I have four listener questions this week. One was sent by a listener who has sent me 14 emails and they have been featured on the show. On the show before. The other three questions that I picked are all first time emailers. They have not sent me a question before or after that. Including our listener question of the week. Today was won by someone who's only ever sent me one email. So one hit wonders make up a lot of what we have here, Charlie. All right, we also have some housekeeping to get to. On a previous episode of Trivia, Brody asked about the pantry staple that fly anglers use to keep their rod guides from icing up Marge and Laura. You guys weren't here that day, but you're fly anglers. Do you know what that answer would be?

[Marge]

Well, I use chapstick.

[Laura]

Chapstick or Chapstick.

[Nate]

But.

[Giannis]

But cooking pantry staple. Pantry staple.

[Laura]

Cooking oil or cooking oil.

[Spencer]

Okay, that's a coconut oil. Good answer, Laura. The answer, the correct answer was Pam, but there was some arguing afterwards. Giannis said Crisco and I said olive oil, and neither one of us got it right. Well, a few listeners wrote in to come to our defense. Crisco does make spraying cooking oil, and Pam does make spraying olive oil. Phil has pictures of them on the screen there. Both of these products right behind you. Brody, if you'd like to know, I'm

[Brody Henderson]

not arguing that they don't make that stuff. I'm arguing that you use Pam.

[Nate]

It would be like saying kleenex makes something Band Aids.

[Brody Henderson]

That's not the.

[Spencer]

Like.

[Brody Henderson]

Have you worked in a fly shop?

[Spencer]

Okay, no, I haven't.

[Brody Henderson]

So when someone walks into fly shop and they're like, man, the guides on my rod were icing up today. And you're like, hey, you know what you can use for that? Just go to the grocery store and get some. Pam.

[Spencer]

Pam. But Pam makes. Look at that, Brody. Spraying. Yeah, but when you talk about my

[Randall]

answer, when you talk about Coca Cola makes a lot of things. When you say Coke, you're picturing a red can. Likewise, the same thing with Crisco. When you say Crisco, someone says, give me some Crisco. You picture the tub of Crisco. You don't feel. Do you want the spray on Crisco? They make all kinds of things, right? Could you get me a Coke? What do you want a Sprite?

[Nate]

Pretty, pretty please, Bro, can me and

[Spencer]

Yani have a point?

[Nate]

True, that's true.

[Brody Henderson]

But I apologize if it's that important to you.

[Spencer]

Take the points we got.

[Brody Henderson]

But then you got to give Cory a point.

[Spencer]

Yeah, of course Cory can join us. Cory said oil and now the question is meaningless.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah. If it really matters.

[Randall]

Just some hydrophobic. Any hydrophobic substance.

[Giannis]

It didn't change the outcome, right?

[Spencer]

I don't think it did. Who? Somebody won outright then Randall. Randall.

[Randall]

Yeah, I think if I remember correctly.

[Brody Henderson]

Did you get the answer right? Did you get Pam? Yeah, there you go.

[Spencer]

I was not behind you. Because he got the question right.

[Randall]

Cuz, like I just. I mean, I feel like if you picked up a field and stream in the 90s and they'd be like, how to keep your ey. Like it would be in like the tips and tricks section. It would just say Pam and it have a picture of a Pam's Ray bottle.

[Giannis]

Olive oil.

[Brody Henderson]

Randall gets it. Yeah. All right.

[Spencer]

The Shelby index for today.

[Randall]

Don't live in La La land is a five.

[Spencer]

So I'm putting us on perfect game alert. And with that, we're on to the round of trivia. Play the drop. Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Nate]

Just tend to win everything.

[Laura]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer]

Question 1. The topic is fishing. And as always, this will be multiple choice. 10 of the last 11 Bassmaster classics have been held in this month.

[Giannis]

Oh, buddy.

[Spencer]

March, May, July or September. Ten of the last eleven Bassmaster Classics have been held in this month. March, May, July, September.

[Giannis]

Do you know Laura?

[Laura]

I don't, but I have an opinion, I guess.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Laura]

That I feel Good about.

[Giannis]

Is it a spring, summer or fall?

[Nate]

Dude, I don't know. Bassmaster.

[Spencer]

10 of the last 11 Bassmaster Classics have been held in this month. Your four choices. March, May, July, September. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. You know, not. I don't, I don't really follow the, the Bass Tour stuff at all.

[Spencer]

Randall, do you have this one?

[Randall]

No, I, I don't, I don't.

[Spencer]

25 chance, based on what I know

[Randall]

of this, which is very little. And then also, you know, professional sports. The series just get longer and longer. The seasons get longer and longer over time. So I don't know.

[Spencer]

10 of the last 11.

[Giannis]

Shelby.

[Spencer]

Guys, she did not have been held in this month. March, May, July, September. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Giannis says September. Nate says September. Randall says July. Marge. July. Laura. May. Brody, May. The correct answer is March. I got that one.

[Brody Henderson]

I thought that might have been it, but I haven't heard Seth talking about

[Randall]

it, so I thought they just started.

[Spencer]

The Bassmaster Classic was a fall event from 1971 to 1983, summer event from 1984 to 2006, and a late winter event ever since. Besides a Covid year, the March Bassmaster Classic kicks off tournament season similar to the Masters in golf or the Daytona 500 in NASCAR. This year's tournament is happening right now on the Tennessee River. It will Conclude on Sunday, March 15th. Weigh in is happening as we speak.

[Brody Henderson]

But Bass watching it on tv.

[Randall]

Yeah, he is.

[Spencer]

Bassmaster is predicting that Easton Fothergill will end day one with a £1 lead over the rest of the field.

[Brody Henderson]

You know, it makes sense that wouldn't be made because then those dudes would just be ripping big crush off beds.

[Nate]

I figured they'd be big and fat and.

[Giannis]

Yeah, that's why I didn't choose May.

[Spencer]

A winter tournament is a good test.

[Randall]

I knew it was happening now because Seth posted about it this morning.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

But.

[Randall]

Okay, I was thinking.

[Spencer]

What was your answer?

[Randall]

I was thinking about it as like a series. I wasn't thinking about it as a three day event. I was thinking about it as like the one I, I misread is like the last as like this, the season finale. And I just. In hindsight it's really stupid.

[Brody Henderson]

There's this favorite angler is another Seth, isn't it?

[Spencer]

Seth Frieder, who. I think, I think he likes to

[Brody Henderson]

huff cigarettes a lot.

[Spencer]

He loves smoking cigs. Yeah, that guy. I think, I think there's 60 anglers in the field he's in like 58.

[Randall]

I think Seth likes Brandon.

[Spencer]

Brandon Palahniuk. Brandon I think was 46 last I checked. So someone is standing on a stage right now holding two large.

[Randall]

Steph was watching that this morning with his infant child and posted about it.

[Spencer]

Good start to that kid's life. Question to the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Brandon. Peachy. This game call company was created after its founder saw predator hunters using a boombox to call in foxes. We will have no perfect game today with every player getting question one wrong. Brody and Nate look like they have question two right. This game call company was created after its founder saw predator hunters using a boombox to call in foxes. Janny, do you have this one right?

[Giannis]

I believe so.

[Spencer]

Brody?

[Brody Henderson]

I think so.

[Spencer]

I hope so. Randall's still thinking over there.

[Marge]

Oh.

[Brody Henderson]

All I know is they make coyote hunting a lot more fun.

[Spencer]

Question 2. This game called company was created after its founders saw predator hunters using a boombox to call in foxes.

[Giannis]

You don't know that Seth has his super young child. We could test this thing that we keep talking about. How? What would you wonder if a screaming youngin would bring in predators? Because when you hear him go, it sounds just like a predator call.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I don't miss that noise.

[Spencer]

This game called company was created after its founders saw predator hunters using a boombox to call in foxes. I would like to see that scene. I'd like to see somebody out there

[Giannis]

with a boombox, not with their 25

[Nate]

year old talking about holding up a baby. Yeah, like Simba style.

[Spencer]

That'll be the test. Boombox versus baby.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Giannis and Nate say Fox Pro. Randall says Fox. Marge drew us a nice boombox.

[Phil]

That's.

[Spencer]

That's very good, Laura. Without an answer, Brody says Fox Pro. The correct answer is FoxPro.

[Marge]

Does Steve have one of these?

[Brody Henderson]

Yep.

[Marge]

I've definitely filmed this and just paid no attention to the name of this item.

[Spencer]

FoxPro was created in Pennsylvania in 1995. The founder watched his sons go fox hunting with a bo box that played distressed animal calls from a from cassette tapes and determined he could make a product for that. Thus Fox Pro was born. They they debuted the FX3 caller in 2005 which caused their sales to explode and changed the digital game call market forever. Question three. The topic is wildlife. This seven letter shark is the world's second largest fish. This seven letter shark is the world's second largest fish. Brody already has his answer. Randall started to write Something. But he's still thinking. Yeah. Did you. Was it not a seven letter word?

[Randall]

That's correct.

[Spencer]

Okay. This seven letter shark is the world's second largest fish.

[Brody Henderson]

I was very into sharks when I was a little kid.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

Very, very much.

[Spencer]

Advantage, Brody. Marge, do you have this one? Okay. Shaking her head yes. Seven letter shark is the world's second largest fish.

[Marge]

Easy, easy.

[Spencer]

I like that.

[Brody Henderson]

I agree, Mark. Pretty easy.

[Spencer]

Not for the table, no. Yanis, Nate and Randall struggling. This seven letter shark is the world's second largest fish.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, they're not gonna get. Let's just turn them over.

[Nate]

Spencer.

[Giannis]

No, no, no, no.

[Spencer]

Seven letter word. Randall in danger of starting over three today.

[Laura]

I can only think of five, six or ten letter words.

[Spencer]

Maybe you're spelling them wrong.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, just spell it wrong.

[Laura]

Plural.

[Spencer]

Yanni, do you have an answer?

[Giannis]

I do.

[Spencer]

Is it right?

[Giannis]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Okay. Seven letter shark.

[Giannis]

But I think I maybe saw a picture of said fish in this book.

[Spencer]

Oh boy.

[Giannis]

Earlier. But I didn't stop to read the caption.

[Spencer]

Yanni is looking at Kimmy Werner's cookbook in front of him and maybe he saw this.

[Giannis]

There's a picture of her swimming with this shark.

[Spencer]

A seven Irish shark.

[Brody Henderson]

That's enough.

[Spencer]

Second largest fish. That didn't help you, Randall.

[Giannis]

This book just came out. It's not like Randall hasn't already read it. Be like Brody, we're just having fun here.

[Brody Henderson]

I want to win big, whatever it does.

[Spencer]

Randall, do you give up?

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Yeah, I don't care.

[Spencer]

Nate, do you give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Giannis says leopard. Nate says wh. Randall without an answer. Marge says basking. Laura without an answer. Brody says basking. The correct answer is basking shark.

[Phil]

Nice.

[Marge]

And they congregate off Great Britain.

[Spencer]

The basking shark can reach up to 40ft long and 5 tons, making it second only to the whale shark. They are slow moving filter feeders who like to be near the surface, which makes it appear as though they are basking in the sun. They are listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List due to the overfishing for the value of their fin. Question for the topic is conservation. This 1849 event caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevadas and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears. This is question four. It's conservation questions for our non hook and bullet listeners. This 1849 eventually caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevadas and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears. Brody, Randall. Nate, Yanni. All have their answers. Easy. I mean, easy. Nate has declared. Uh. Oh, Randall.

[Nate]

Oh, big history guy.

[Randall]

Let's see what. Let's see what you say.

[Giannis]

Are you fixing Margaret's drawing? Another Randall.

[Spencer]

Michael's figure.

[Brody Henderson]

Getting ready to nitpick.

[Nate]

He knows too much about history. That's his problem.

[Spencer]

That could. That could create an issue. Laura, do you have this one right?

[Laura]

No.

[Spencer]

Okay. Marge, do you have this one right? I want to.

[Brody Henderson]

I want some controversy. Yeah, bring the controversy.

[Giannis]

I think it's good.

[Spencer]

This 1849 event caused a mass migration to the Sierra Nevadas and led to widespread persecution of the region's grizzly bears.

[Randall]

Let me ask you a question, Spencer. I might be wrong. What year did Sutter's Mill happen?

[Spencer]

I'm not going to answer that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Giannis says the gold rush. Nate. Gold rush, Randall, Gold rush. Marks. You gotta be more specific than the California gold rush. Laura says the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. California gold rushes.

[Giannis]

What?

[Brody Henderson]

Klondike?

[Nate]

You think going to Alaska is going to rush?

[Spencer]

That is.

[Brody Henderson]

It happened in.

[Randall]

Can you stop talking while I make a point?

[Spencer]

What Randall is referring to happened is

[Randall]

the 1849 event caused a mass migration. This 1849 event was a mass migration. The cause happened in 1848, which is the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. So this is just insane.

[Spencer]

Well, 1849, that's when the. The mass migration peaked.

[Randall]

Right, but the peak happened. It did. The causal event is not in 1849.

[Brody Henderson]

Keep going, Randall.

[Spencer]

Terrible question, but keep going. Random event could also be other people migrating there. I bet a lot of people were not aware that Sutter's Mill had gold discovered. They were just aware that people were flocking.

[Phil]

Spencer, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not coming with you.

[Spencer]

About 300,000 people flooded into California during the Five Year Gold Rush. These prospectors were known as 49ers, named after the year that the migration peaked. Humans quickly started clearing out California grizzlies via hunting poisoning and habitat loss. Within 75 years, all 10,000 of the state's grizzlies were killed. California's Valley Center History Museum says that the Gold rush quote rang the death knell for the bear.

[Randall]

See, you could have had an interesting question.

[Nate]

You got it right.

[Randall]

I know, but everybody else got it right because it's too easy.

[Spencer]

Laura didn't get it right.

[Brody Henderson]

Did you know that they're trying to bring him back in California?

[Spencer]

Well, haven't they also determined that the California grizzly was its own thing? So, like, they're trying there's. Right.

[Brody Henderson]

They're making the push to bring back.

[Spencer]

Here's question five. The topic is gear. This next crate. This next great question is via Tim Allen.

[Giannis]

Good one.

[Brody Henderson]

Man, I hated that show.

[Marge]

Me, too.

[Spencer]

Matthews, Vortex, Flambeau, Duluth Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuddyback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state. Here's the list again. Matthews, Vortex, Flambeau, Duluth Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuddeback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state.

[Giannis]

Oh, Brody's having a thing. That's good.

[Brody Henderson]

Well, there's a thing in there that's giving me a thing.

[Giannis]

We need. We need Brody to drop one.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Little red herring in there. Maybe.

[Randall]

Maybe we should just look ahead to the next five questions and make sure they're worded correctly.

[Spencer]

Matthews, Vortex, Flambeau, Duluth Trading Company, Rage, Mercury, Cuddyback, and Henry are all headquartered in this state. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

I don't think. I don't know. I think it's 50.

[Marge]

50.

[Spencer]

Nate, you have this one right?

[Nate]

Yeah, I feel pretty good about it.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Nate]

Marge, big Matthews guy.

[Spencer]

Maybe. Laura, maybe. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I scratched it out.

[Spencer]

Yanni says Wisconsin. Nate says Wisconsin. Wisconsin stumbles. Randall says Wisconsin.

[Randall]

Shout out, Barn Belt.

[Spencer]

Marge says Minnesota. Laura says Minnesota. Brody says Minnesota. He crossed out Wisconsin. The correct answer is Wisconsin.

[Nate]

Barnville, Vortex, shout out. Matthews, Esparta.

[Spencer]

According to the state's business directory, there are more than 1300 outdoor brands in Wisconsin. It's no surprise, as the state has a $12 billion outdoor rec industry that supports over 100,000 employees. About 3% of employed Wisconsin nights work in the outdoor industry.

[Brody Henderson]

Do the people at Duluth Trading Company know they're in the wrong state?

[Spencer]

I don't know. That's. That is a tough one. Nate even said maybe it's a red herring. Yeah, it seemed like too much information still got him. But it didn't.

[Brody Henderson]

No, I ignored what I knew, and

[Nate]

we're halfway, by the way.

[Spencer]

Phil, please give us a scoreboard update here.

[Phil]

At halftime, we have Laura in last place with zero points.

[Randall]

We're right back in it. This is great.

[Phil]

Randall and Maggie have two points a piece, and all tied up in first are Giannis, Nate and Brody with three points.

[Brody Henderson]

What's the other question I missed?

[Spencer]

You missed question one about the march bass match.

[Randall]

Everybody missed that?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Yeah, tough one.

The topic is cooking. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as, quote, a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor.

[Marge]

Is this a brand?

[Spencer]

Hard one. Not giving you any hints, Laura immediately locked in her answer. You have this one right, Laura?

[Laura]

I know we're thinking the exact same thing, Marge. It's a. Pam.

[Brody Henderson]

Laura, show me what real sneaky like. Show me what you put.

[Spencer]

That was very.

[Brody Henderson]

It's not what I got.

[Spencer]

Uh, oh, okay. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst of flavor.

[Laura]

Same, same, same.

[Spencer]

Brody and Laura.

[Laura]

I think they're synonyms.

[Spencer]

Maybe disagree, maybe not. Maggie, do you have this one right?

[Marge]

I think so.

[Spencer]

Okay. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[Marge]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

Maggie has.

[Giannis]

I don't think so.

[Brody Henderson]

What? I have a combo.

[Spencer]

Oh, interesting.

[Laura]

Okay, so she's twice as smart as we are.

[Spencer]

We're gonna have to get a jury in here to figure out who gets this right, then.

[Giannis]

This is not like Spencer, Randall.

[Spencer]

Nate, do you have this one?

[Nate]

I can. I don't think so.

[Spencer]

Okay, I'm real torn. Here it is. One more time. Blank salt, which is often sprinkled on steak, is defined as a flaky salt added to dishes just before serving to provide a crunchy texture and final burst

[Marge]

of flavor in the kitchen.

[Phil]

Just to clarify, Spencer, would you accept a brand name? I think.

[Spencer]

I think.

[Brody Henderson]

Come on.

[Spencer]

I don't think that's a big.

[Brody Henderson]

That is not a big kid. No, that's a total hint.

[Phil]

No, I don't think it's a disagree. Thank you.

[Spencer]

I don't think it's a hint. And I think if you. If you have a brand that makes this, we Will give it to you, Phil.

[Brody Henderson]

Stay in your lane back there.

[Giannis]

That one hurt.

[Spencer]

Gonna have to Google, though, Nate.

[Giannis]

Oh, Nate does not have it.

[Nate]

That might have been it.

[Spencer]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says kosher. Nate says finishing. Randall says butchers. Marge says finishing. Laura says Muldon. Finishing salt. Brody says finishing. The correct answer is finishing salt or flake salt. Butchering salt. We will see if that comes up with anything. No, it's a cured salt butchering.

[Randall]

I wasn't fighting for it.

[Marge]

Brody, if you haven't had that brand,

[Nate]

is that what they put on cookies? Like real nice fancy cookies?

[Spencer]

Yeah, they had finishing salt. We will give it to them. And if you have Maldon, and then I have Maldon, we'll give that to you as well.

[Brody Henderson]

Which is a brand name, I believe.

[Phil]

Yeah, but then they clarified finishing salt.

[Randall]

Said the guy who started the game talking about Pam.

[Spencer]

There's many kinds of Pam, finishing or flake salt. As the name implies, Finishing salt is only used right before you're ready to eat. It's most commonly sprinkled on meats and seafood, but is also used on veggies, salads, eggs and desserts. These large, irregular salt crystals take longer to dissolve in your mouth, which adds a unique texture and depth of flavor.

[Nate]

Man, you see those big flaky ones on chocolate chip cookie, you know you're in for it.

[Marge]

Yeah, a little salt with a little sweet. Finishing puts on caramels too.

[Spencer]

Question 7. The topic is conservation. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie.

[Phil]

Stay in my lane.

[Spencer]

Get out of here. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie. Again, the conservation category. Randall is reaching far beyond hunters and anglers.

[Randall]

Yeah, I know.

[Spencer]

He doesn't like it. I don't care. Do you have this one right, Randall?

[Randall]

I think so.

[Spencer]

Okay. Yanni, do you have this one?

[Randall]

It's an Eddie Murphy film.

[Giannis]

I have no idea.

[Nate]

I'm just saying.

[Spencer]

Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from longing and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie.

[Nate]

I don't even know if this is

[Spencer]

a movie, let alone looking forward to that answer.

[Marge]

I just. Yeah, I don't know. Don't watch a lot of movies.

[Spencer]

And we're on question seven.

[Giannis]

I really gotta hold up.

[Phil]

Hold up.

[Spencer]

We're holding up, Nate.

[Randall]

Is it Meet the Clumps?

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Randall]

That's the sequel, right?

[Giannis]

Well, yeah. What was the name of that? That was the movie I was bringing up. I Got a real kick out of that movie where he played all of the characters at the dinner table.

[Randall]

Yeah. The Nutty professor. And the sequel, Meet the Clumps.

[Phil]

I got a real kick of that Sherman, too.

[Brody Henderson]

I gotta say, Beverly Hills COP4 was very underwhelming, though.

[Spencer]

How do you guys know none of these were this movie?

[Nate]

Well, that's what I.

[Phil]

You might have thrown out.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Okay.

[Nate]

Turns out it is a movie.

[Spencer]

You just gave Nate some confirmation.

[Nate]

Well, threw it out there.

[Spencer]

I don't even want to be here anymore. Eddie Murphy vows to save a forest from logging and development in the sequel to this 1998 movie. Laura, can you come up with an Eddie Murphy movie for us?

[Laura]

No, I got nothing today.

[Marge]

Shrek.

[Nate]

I almost wrote that.

[Giannis]

I almost broke that. Dude.

[Spencer]

I could see that.

[Phil]

That would be a very probable story.

[Randall]

That's a good one.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Donkey saves the swamp.

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Is everybody ready?

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Dr. Dolittle. Nate says Beverly Hills Cop. Randall says Dr. Dolittle. Marge says, welcome to America. Laura without an answer. Brody says Dr. Dolittle. The correct answ is Dr. Dolittle.

[Nate]

There you go.

[Spencer]

2001's Dr. Dolittle 2 follows Dr. John Dolittle as he attempts to save habitat where the fictional Pacific Western bear lives. He succeeds by convincing bears, wolves, beavers, and birds to fight back against the logging company. The movie has a 41 rating on rotten Tomatoes, saying, quote, its preoccupation with toilet humor and Murphy's restrained performance makes this a missed opportunity. I like Marge's answer best, though. If we could have a sequel to welcome to America where Coming to America. Coming to America.

[Marge]

That's what it's called.

[Spencer]

Where they fight to save the forest.

[Randall]

And they did just do a sequel.

[Phil]

They did.

[Spencer]

They should have found the forest for the Pacific Western Bear, though.

[Randall]

I was gonna say toilet humor and restrained performance could probably encapsulate all of my recent trivia appearances.

[Spencer]

So that's why they can Meat eater radio.

[Randall]

Is it Sherman T. Clump. Phil, is this.

[Phil]

You're barking up the wrong tree.

[Randall]

No, you have the computers.

[Spencer]

Use the computers. He does have the computer. And we're looking at a movie poster for Dr. Dolittle 2.

[Randall]

Sometimes there's, like, a little itch in my brain, and I want to dig in there and see if what I remember is actually in there.

[Spencer]

I think they're now on to, like, three, four, and five that have been, you know, direct to dvd.

[Phil]

It is Sherman Clump. You are right.

[Randall]

But is it t?

[Phil]

Oh, Jesus.

[Randall]

It's the middle name that I'm curious about.

[Spencer]

Here's question 8. The topic is biology. This next next great question is via Andrew Rudder. This eight letter word is defined as, quote, the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Randall already has his answer. Brody. Maybe Brody's locked in his answer. Whiteboard is down. This eight letter word is defined as.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, I didn't even know it was eight letters.

[Spencer]

The science of naming, describing and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Randall, the only confident one. Oh, Brody is now reassessed. And he didn't hear the letter part first.

[Phil]

They're not giving me a middle initial, Randall, in any of the articles. I'm finding they do have the middle initial for the Jerry Lewis version. That's Julius F. Kelp, the nutty professor.

[Spencer]

Randall's now on his phone attempting to solve this mystery.

[Nate]

Came to me. Nice.

[Spencer]

What the middle initial is.

[Randall]

No, I'm trying to send the Facebook Marketplace listing that I mentioned earlier to

[Brody Henderson]

multitask.

[Spencer]

Dizzy guy.

[Brody Henderson]

This is cool.

[Randall]

He's wheeling and dealing.

[Giannis]

Very cool.

[Randall]

I don't want this deal to get away.

[Giannis]

A lot of beautiful pictures.

[Nate]

Dude, seriously, I didn't even know she was doing this.

[Spencer]

Laura, do you not have what Brody has?

[Laura]

No.

[Nate]

This is the only person in our whole organization that my wife cares about, including me.

[Randall]

Oh, you're talking about kidneys.

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

What about Chip? Ooh, not into chips.

[Nate]

Chips are hot water right now, dude.

[Spencer]

Dang. What do you do? Do you eat something? Did you crap on something?

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Well, that's.

[Spencer]

No.

[Nate]

Ever since Cam became pregnant, he's been acting real needy. I think he senses his movement down the totem pole.

[Spencer]

Dang.

[Nate]

And so he's trying to. I don't know what he's trying to do.

[Giannis]

Is your wife's pregnant?

[Phil]

Yeah, man.

[Giannis]

Oh, congrats. I didn't know.

[Nate]

September 15th, exciting time. I know, dude.

[Spencer]

We'll have to have a Rhett report sometime at Meat Eater here and update everyone on the office pregnancies.

[Phil]

There's so many babies.

[Nate]

A lot of babies.

[Giannis]

It is thick around here.

[Phil]

It's something in the water.

[Spencer]

This eight letter word is defined as the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni and Nate and Randall and Marge say taxonomy. Laura, without an answer, not taxonomy. Brody says taxonomy. The correct answer is taxonomy. The practice of taxonomy dates back to the 1700s, when Swedish biologist Carl van Lee ne started Linnae Animals.

[Randall]

Linnaeus.

[Spencer]

Is it Linnaeus?

[Randall]

Linnaeus, Carl, That's Why? It's Linnaean taxonomy.

[Spencer]

Thank you. Started grooving animals. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy. He is actually the person who created the name Homo sapien, which is Latin for wise man.

[Brody Henderson]

That'd be a great job, man.

[Nate]

Just what's the. What's the tax part of taxonomy and taxidermy? Is that like animals?

[Brody Henderson]

I don't know Latin.

[Spencer]

Classifying, Classifying.

[Marge]

Did you see in Australia, two animals they thought were extinct, they rediscovered and they gave them a new like name?

[Spencer]

I saw this, Marge. I pitched it for our news podcast and Steve said.

[Randall]

Steve. Those dumb.

[Spencer]

Steve said, yikes, Yikes.

[Marge]

This is why I'm not invited.

[Brody Henderson]

He says his reasoning was that Lazarus species show up all the time.

[Marge]

Lazarus species.

[Spencer]

There we go.

[Nate]

What species were they?

[Spencer]

Two different. It was a pygmy. What was it? A pygmy. Were they both like some sort of ringtails, something?

[Marge]

Yeah.

[Nate]

That's cool.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Well, I'm not cool enough to cover here on this podcast.

[Giannis]

What are they?

[Spencer]

I'll get you while Phil gives us a scoreboard update. Because we have two questions.

[Marge]

No, one is a sugar liquor. It's like a squirrel.

[Phil]

Sugar liquor?

[Spencer]

Yeah. What a great name.

[Phil]

Dude.

[Marge]

You know what I'm talking about. The flying squirrels.

[Randall]

Like a sugar baby.

[Spencer]

It was a pygmy long fingered possum in a ring tailed glider.

[Marge]

Those are the sugar gliders.

[Nate]

I'm starting on the board with one point.

[Phil]

Maggie and Randall are tied up with four. Giannis and Nate have five and he pulled ahead. When you stand in his lane, it's Brody Henderson with six balls.

[Brody Henderson]

Bill didn't like that when I said that.

[Phil]

As the scorekeeper and part time arbiter of disagreements, I feel like it is exactly my lane.

[Spencer]

That's.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

I'm just.

[Phil]

That's all. That's all I'm getting at.

[Spencer]

Well, and Phil's a subject matter expert when it comes to finishing salts.

[Brody Henderson]

Like you gave a clue. Like, let's be clear, okay?

[Phil]

Randall literally started naming Eddie Murphy movies and no one gave.

[Spencer]

But not the right one. Here's question.

[Randall]

I never gave away the answer.

[Spencer]

The topic is hunting. According to Academy sports revolvers, quote, most commonly hold this many rounds. According to Academy sports revolvers, most commonly hold this many rounds. Uh oh, Randall just.

[Randall]

I don't know.

[Nate]

I can't wait to hear what he's got to say.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I'm just, I'm gonna. If you argue, Randall, I'm gonna absolutely body you with the flavor text.

[Randall]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Good luck.

[Giannis]

What would Be body.

[Nate]

Who would win that fight?

[Randall]

It would be interesting to me if it was like of the rimfire revolvers stocked at Academy Sports, because then I'd have to think about it.

[Spencer]

Oh, yeah. Okay. According to Academy Sports, revolvers most commonly hold this many rounds.

[Nate]

Man, you're so smart.

[Giannis]

I think

[Spencer]

I'm not.

[Brody Henderson]

This is.

[Randall]

There's gonna be people in their trucks, like, driving down the road and be like, did he really just ask that?

[Spencer]

Oh, wow.

[Giannis]

The show has become too pedestrian for Randall.

[Randall]

Giannis, do you think this is a good question? Sorry.

[Giannis]

Yes. Yes.

[Randall]

I've spent too much time around Steve lately.

[Phil]

I just. I'd like to reiterate, Randall is currently in fourth place.

[Marge]

Randall's tied with me. I've never been tied with Randall.

[Brody Henderson]

You know those bark bags they give out in planes?

[Giannis]

He needs one.

[Brody Henderson]

He could use one.

[Marge]

I know. I don't know the answer to this question.

[Spencer]

Randall's saying it's too easy. Marge. How does that make you feel?

[Marge]

I have no idea.

[Spencer]

Okay, it's everybody.

[Brody Henderson]

Trick question.

[Randall]

I've never heard a slang term that refers to the type of gun by

[Spencer]

the number of rounds. We have Yanni and Nate and Randall saying six. Marge says five. Laura and Brody say six. The correct answer is six.

[Marge]

If I had had that hint.

[Spencer]

Revolvers hold five to nine rounds, with six being the most popular, which is why they're often referred to six shooters. Gunbroker.com has 56, 000 revolvers for sale that hold six bullets. That's followed by 36, 000 listings for five shooters, 5, 000 listings for eight shooters, 4,000 listings for seven shooters, and 1,000 listings for nine shooters.

[Randall]

See, that's interesting.

[Spencer]

Thank you. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was March is when the Bassmaster Classic is. Two is Fox Pro 3, Basking Shark 4 the Gold Rush 5, Wisconsin 6, Finishing Salt 7, Dr. Doolittle 8, Taxonomy 9 with six rounds. Phil, give us one more scoreboard update for question 10.

[Phil]

We've got Brody in first place with seven. And right behind him are Giannis and Nate with six.

[Randall]

Hey, Maggie. Scoreboard.

[Phil]

I know you're in front of me.

[Spencer]

Question 10.

[Marge]

I was a short lived victory. Okay. I was tied with you.

[Spencer]

Felt good about it.

[Randall]

You know you're my favorite person in the room.

[Marge]

Yeah. Well, thank you.

[Randall]

As he looks at Spencer, I don't

[Spencer]

think she knew that. Question 10 is wildlife. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Aaron Grind for sending this great question. Aaron is going to get A board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia.com the Blank Sting Pain Index is named after the entomologist who created it in 1983. And the room is stumped.

[Nate]

Good.

[Giannis]

Final question.

[Spencer]

Pain index is named after the entomologist who created it in 1983.

[Giannis]

We interviewed a fellow that wrote a book kind of going through all this.

[Spencer]

The Blank Sting Pain Index is named after the entomologist who created it in 1983.

[Brody Henderson]

How many letters?

[Spencer]

Spencer, not gonna give you any hints.

[Giannis]

Come on.

[Spencer]

This could be a zero.

[Randall]

I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but somewhere between who invented the Sting Pain Index and Six shooter is where we should be aiming.

[Spencer]

You know, we're about 2,000 questions into this show, so not every one of them can be perfect.

[Randall]

Speaking of, this is the. The double yellow in the middle keeps you from going head on into traffic. And then the other one's the white on the outside.

[Phil]

I love the lane metaphors. They're continuing.

[Spencer]

Sting Pain index is named after the. The entomologist who created it in 1983. Does everybody give up?

[Nate]

No.

[Spencer]

Give us. No. Come on.

[Nate]

Speaking of doing your job, I got my next ten questions.

[Spencer]

Okay, whatever. Nate is ready.

[Marge]

Can we get the entomologist's first name?

[Nate]

Keep wanting to say Richter.

[Marge]

Well, everyone's stumped, so it would make it more interesting.

[Spencer]

Brody, are you in fact stumped?

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer]

Okay. I could give you guys either the

[Randall]

letters sit in the mess you've made.

[Spencer]

I can tell you the first name, and it's not gonna be, let's do

[Brody Henderson]

it and see if maybe we come

[Spencer]

up with an over first name. Justin. All right. Did that that. Does your last name now fit a Justin? Justin? No, it does not, bro. Do you give up? Yeah, go ahead.

[Giannis]

Something down.

[Spencer]

Nobody has an answer.

[Giannis]

No, I'm writing something down.

[Randall]

I have a great answer.

[Spencer]

Okay. Randall says take your spice.

[Randall]

Takeo.

[Spencer]

Was he. Was he linebacker for the Buffalo Bills?

[Randall]

Well, before that, he was a Cincinnati Bengal. It's just the coolest name I could think of.

Yanni says Blitz. Nate says Behringer. Brody says Archer. The correct answer is Schmidt. Oh, Justin Schmidt. Justin Schmidt got stung or bit by about 80 different insects to develop his pain index. That's on a scale of one to four. One is the lowest level, saying the pain generally lasts about five minutes. This group is where most small bees are at. At level two, you'll find the bald faced hornet and yellowjacket. At three is the red paper wasp and velvet ant. And at four there are only three insects. Those are the bullet ant, the tarantula, hop wasp, and warrior wasp. He described the bullet ant pain as walking over flaming charcoal with a three inch nail embedded in your heel. For more on his work of getting stung by insects, go listen to him on episode 208 of the Meat Eater podcast. Justin Schmidt was here.

[Phil]

It was the guy.

[Giannis]

It was the guy.

[Spencer]

It was the man. Yeah.

[Giannis]

If you want to see Steve get stung by a bullet ant, you can watch one of the Bolivia episodes, one

[Spencer]

of three insects and pain level four.

[Randall]

I like that he got stung by those things. I'm glad that you included that text at the end.

[Spencer]

Thank you. Thank you. Brody's our winner today with seven correct answers. Brody, where's that 500 donation from meat Eater going to go?

[Brody Henderson]

Let's send it to what we're just talking talking about with Mark Kenyon a little while ago to say, what was it? Save Tucker Town.

[Spencer]

Save Tucker Town. Randall's a subject matter expert on this for safe Tucker.

[Brody Henderson]

Don't be a.

[Randall]

Don't be a smart ass, Spencer. I've been on the Three Rivers Land Trust podcast.

[Spencer]

Yep.

[Randall]

I've exchanged messages with them many times.

[Spencer]

I don't think I was even being a smart ass. I was, I was trying to.

[Randall]

Subject matter expert. No one's ever said that sarcastically.

[Spencer]

The thing that Brody is donating to, you will hear about on the news podcast that drops. I don't know, probably tomorrow.

[Phil]

It will be the day before this.

[Spencer]

Oh, the day before. Okay, we don't have that cadence figured out.

[Phil]

Yes. Steve's just dropping shows whenever he feels like it.

[Giannis]

That's right, baby.

[Spencer]

$500 to save Tucker Town. Join us next week for more Meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[Brody Henderson]

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