[Spencer]

Foreign. 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 Randall Brody, Corinne, Nate, John and Roman. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing for the set of the week. This week we're looking at the Shelby Index. For today's episode she set a personal best for a new Shelby Index record. Here's what we're gonna do if she wins today's show, we're gonna make it a thousand dollar donation instead of $500.

[Brody Henderson]

Did you clear that with the power set B?

[Spencer]

No, no. I just assume one of you is going to beat her despite her high score. We'll get to her score in a minute. Now we have an IFAQ. If you have an IFAQ, send it to triviator.com with the subject line IFAQ. Sarah Cinco says my local tavern has recently decided to install a night of trivia and I volunteered to host. I'm wondering what tips or tricks you could suggest to help make this event fun and successful for all. Randall, you're a bar night tavern going trivia connoisseur.

[Randall Brody]

Yes.

[Spencer]

What advice could you give to Sarah? She wants to be a great host.

[Randall Brody]

I have three pieces of advice.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

Two of them I've thought of. The third one will come to me. Number one is if there's a limit on the number of people that can sit at a table, enforce it.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

When there's 10 people sitting at a table and then every other table has

[Spencer]

three or four people, you don't like that?

[Randall Brody]

Just be like, hey guys, you gotta break. If you're playing, you gotta break up the group.

[Spencer]

It's just.

[Randall Brody]

It just. It's a no brainer. What are they gonna say? Oh no, we want to have more people than is allowed. Number two is it's not all about you played some bar trivia games where the guys treating it like a. Like a one man show, an open mic, and it's like, did you practice all these one liners on your parents before you left home tonight? You know, and I like to just say keep it about the game. It's fun to have a couple cracks here and there, but otherwise, you know, just. Just play the game straight. Like people are there for the questions.

[Brody Henderson]

Randall, how important are drink specials?

[Spencer]

Very important. I doubt Sarah has that kind of power.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, come on. She can. She can do it.

[Randall Brody]

There was a before. Before it was the Thomas Marbar in Missoula. They used to have trivia night there and it was like eight dollar pictures of flat tire to the point that I cannot.

[Brody Henderson]

Flat tire or fat Tire?

[Nate Mason]

Fat.

[Randall Brody]

Fat Tire. This bodes poorly for today's performance. That's like the swill version of Fat Tire. I can't smell the stuff anymore without getting sick. I mean, just like six years of every Tuesday night drinking Fat Tire until.

[Spencer]

What a funny promotion.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, yeah, it was odd. It's not like a very. I just feel like that's A weird beer to drink in large volumes.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Uh, my third point about trivia is see if they can start it early. Don't start trivia at eight.

[Phil]

Yeah, that's the. That's a one ding against the Molly here in town.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, I mean, it's great trivia. I like the questions, but it'd be great if you could get the thing going at. At 7, 6, 30 even. I feel like, is there's. I feel like most people are just going to go there from work.

[Spencer]

Oh, okay.

[Randall Brody]

Instead of going home. There's no reason to start trivia at 8:00 unless you're doing two games.

[Spencer]

Bill, any advice for Sarah? You love bar trivia.

[Phil]

Yeah, this is kind of a follow up to Randall's. Like, it's not about you comment. But at the same time, I do think you need to kind of present an air of confidence. Like you need to make the players believe that they're on a steady ship and that the captain is trustworthy, because once holes start being poked, the whole thing could fall apart.

[Randall Brody]

I also want to tip my hat to Sarah and to the bar that is initiating this. There's. There's not enough good trivia out there in the world. And kudos for stepping up.

[Spencer]

We don't know the name of the place. She says local tavern. Any other advice for Sarah?

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, I got one.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Nate Mason]

I would say make the questions easier than you think you need to make them.

[Spencer]

That's exactly what I was going to say to Sarah. I think it's important, Sarah, that you have someone to test these on. Like I have the Shelby index. And that is effective to. To an extent. But yeah. Assume that your audience needs. They'll have more fun if the questions tend to be easier than harder.

[Brody Henderson]

She could send them to Nate to test them out.

[Spencer]

There you go.

[Randall Brody]

And if I may add one more point just on format, there's some bar trivia games where you write your 10 answers for the round on a single sheet of paper and take it up after. There's some bar trivia games where they have you write an answer on a single piece of paper and run it up after every question. Don't do that.

[Spencer]

Oh, you don't like that one?

[Randall Brody]

There's too much standing up and sitting down. That's not what we came for. And then it's like someone gets someone.

[Spencer]

Class somebody.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, someone who. Who has the chair on that corner gets stuck just getting up and you're gonna miss all the funny banter.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

So those are just my thoughts.

[Spencer]

Okay, Spencer, if I may. Good advice for Sarah. Oh, what else?

[Randall Brody]

I have a quick announcement.

[Spencer]

Yes, please.

[Randall Brody]

Hello, meat eater. Trivia, listeners. On Friday, March 13, an episode of Trivia was recorded in which I said several things I later regretted. They are as follows.

[Spencer]

Oh, this is from you.

[Randall Brody]

I don't care. Terrible question. Hey, Maggie, look at the scoreboard. I don't care. Don't be a smart ass, Spencer. And I don't want to be here anymore. I'd just like to apologize for the listeners for all of that negativity and boorish behavior. There's too much of it in the world, and I regret my partner contributing to that. I do stand by my critique of the question about Revolvers and about the California gold Rush. And I wish I'd remembered to mention the film Norbit when we were discussing Eddie Murphy films. That's all.

[Spencer]

Okay, thank you. That will satisfy some folks.

[Nate Mason]

We need more of that in this world. Yeah, good.

[Spencer]

Good addition. We have a little bit of housekeeping. This is geography related housekeeping. On a previous episode of Trivia, I said in the flavor text that Harvard University's arboretum is located in Connecticut, but of course, that's wrong. It's located in Boston, Massachusetts, a full 50 miles from the Connecticut border. And in a different episode, Randall said he didn't think they had menards in Ohio, but that's wrong. There are 32 Menards in Ohio. Phil has a store map for Randall. It's as though they've built menards on top of menards.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, I guess my question is, when did they move into Ohio, you think

[Spencer]

in the last month?

[Randall Brody]

No, but I haven't lived in Ohio for 20 years. More than 20 years. So I think that's fair.

[Spencer]

Okay. That's part of your culture. Menards.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah. Shout out to Loveland. Right. On the Little Miami River.

[Spencer]

Shout out to Loveland.

[Brody Henderson]

You need to go back there and do a little tree stand hunt with Kenyon or somewhere.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, I'd love to do that. I'd love to do that. I'd like to just make a whole series where I just live in Ohio and do all of my favorite things. All right, I'm gonna sell that to the suits.

[Spencer]

The Shelby index for today is a 6.67. So I'm putting us on. Perfect.

[Brody Henderson]

Wait a minute. Say that again.

[Spencer]

6.67. This is the first time we've added two thirds of a point.

[Randall Brody]

She got exciting.

[Spencer]

Two thirds of a question.

[Randall Brody]

So the winner should get.

[Spencer]

Well, 13.3. So I'm putting us on perfect score alert again. If nobody Beats Shelby today. If nobody gets a seven, it's going to be a thousand dollar donation.

[Brody Henderson]

Are we gonna get like scores in like thirds today? No, Randall had seven and a third

[Spencer]

exclusively for the Shelby index. That's. That's it.

[Randall Brody]

I like it.

[Spencer]

And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

[Randall Brody]

Everything.

[Spencer]

How's that?

[Randall Brody]

You stand to win everything.

[Spencer]

Game on, suckers. Question one.

[Brody Henderson]

You gonna join us? Are you gonna keep typing on that phone?

[Corinne]

Yeah, I'm playing wordle.

[Randall Brody]

Wow.

[Spencer]

Turtle. She's playing turtle.

[Corinne]

Turtle. Turtle.

[Spencer]

Question one. The topic is fishing. This first great question is via Chris Porter. And as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Is it Yellowstone River, Niobrara River, Tennessee river, or Columbia River?

[Nate Mason]

I hate you, Chris.

[Spencer]

Which of these rivers has the highest elevation?

[Randall Brody]

Chris Porter.

[Spencer]

This is Chris Porter. Yellowstone, Niobrara, Tennessee Columbia.

[Randall Brody]

If it's the Chris Porter I'm thinking of, that's a good guy.

[Corinne]

If we don't know what states a certain river runs through, are you able to.

[Spencer]

I'm not going to help you with that one. Which of these rivers has the highest elevation? Yellowstone, Niobrara, Tennessee, Columbia. No, no confidence.

[Nate Mason]

Zero room.

[Spencer]

Brody, do you have it nailed? Narrowed down to a few, yeah. Okay, I'm just gonna stick with it. Which I'm gonna stick with what it should be.

[Randall Brody]

Go with what you know.

[Spencer]

Highest elevation. The Yellowstone River, Niobrara River, Tennessee river, or Columbia River.

[Brody Henderson]

I'll be real mad when it's what it not should be.

[Spencer]

Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Columbia, Roman, Columbia, Randall, Yellowstone. John, Columbia, Corinne, Columbia, Brody, Yellowstone. The correct answer is the Yellowstone River. Brody and Randall got that one right. The highest point of the Tennessee river is 800ft, of the Columbia is 2,700ft, of the Niobrara is 5,500ft and of the Yellowstone is 11,000ft. The Yellowstone is formed near you peak in northwest Wyoming, where small streams combine to make the longest undammed river in the lower 48.

[Brody Henderson]

If you want a like badass backcountry trip, like, go into the thoroughfare in the headwaters of the Yellowstone. Bring bear spray.

[Spencer]

It would look very unfamiliar.

[Brody Henderson]

It's super cool country in there.

[Spencer]

11,000ft. That's twice Steven High.

[Randall Brody]

He's just giving us two middle fingers.

[Spencer]

Twice as high as the next closest of the niobrara River. Question 2. The topic is wildlife. Stanley and Zero learned that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie.

[Nate Mason]

We're back.

[Spencer]

Nate with a quick answer. Stanley and Zero learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie.

[Phil]

This is big. Millennial core.

[Nate Mason]

I think this is. This is the first movie that's, like, squarely in my aperture.

[Randall Brody]

Is this an adult destroys for children or for people that are older?

[Nate Mason]

Wouldn't you like to know?

[Spencer]

It's got an X.

[Nate Mason]

No hints.

[Roman]

John, what's going on, man?

[Brody Henderson]

Struggling.

[Phil]

You got this.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

You young. Rough start.

[Randall Brody]

John was born in 2001.

[Spencer]

1998.

[Randall Brody]

That's close enough. That's pretty good.

[Corinne]

Gosh, I'm so much older.

[Spencer]

Roman, do you have this one right?

[Roman]

I do. I'm so excited.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Roman]

I've never felt so good.

[Spencer]

Stanley and Zero learned that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie. Phil, we're gonna get a movie review from you.

[Brody Henderson]

Is this movie live action or anime?

[Nate Mason]

No hints.

[Spencer]

Not giving you any hints.

[Nate Mason]

Close the gap, baby.

[Spencer]

We're back. Roman, Randall, and Brody, the only players to get question one right. They have blank whiteboards for question two. Stanley and Zero learn that eating onions will prevent the highly venomous yellow spotted lizard from biting them in this 2003 movie. Randall, do you like your answer?

[Randall Brody]

I've never seen my answer.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

It involves animals.

[Spencer]

And do you think that Nate and Roman would have seen this movie and like this movie?

[Randall Brody]

My guess.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Which is the energy they're giving off.

[Randall Brody]

Maybe.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

John, do you have a guess?

[John]

No, I got nothing.

[Spencer]

All right. Brody, do you like your answer?

[Brody Henderson]

I don't have an answer, so, no. I. I detest my answer.

[Spencer]

Does everybody give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate and Roman say holes. Randall, Madagascar. John without an answer. Without an answer. Brody without an answer. The correct answer is holes. H O L E S. Is that like a cartoon?

[Roman]

What is it based on a book.

[Spencer]

A great book based on a book for. Don't know, like, teen.

[John]

Middle grade.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Middle schoolers.

[Brody Henderson]

I. I remember this movie now. I never saw it, but it. In that troublemaker actor who's a real shaker now.

[Phil]

That was pre Mental Break Shil.

[Nate Mason]

They survive off sploosh.

[Phil]

That's right.

[Spencer]

Exactly. Although the yellow spotted lizard is real, the movie uses bearded dragons to portray them. The real yellow spotted lizard is found. Is found from Texas to Panama and does have a venomous bite, but it's far Less toxic than the movie describes. According to hol's lore, the Lizard has exactly 11 spots, but by the time you get close enough to count them, you'll already be dead. And of course, they hate the taste of, quote, onion blood. Phil, did you love the movie Holes?

[Phil]

It's. I love the book and the movie, I think is a great adaptation. It's got an awesome cast too. It's Sigourney Weaver, Tim Blake Nelson, who kicks ass. John Voight, Henry Winkler. Yeah, it's Henry Winkler's in that. He plays the dad, Shias. What?

[Randall Brody]

What's the author?

[Phil]

Louis Sakar, who wrote a bunch of

[Spencer]

kid books, had an iconic cover as well. I think if you've seen it, you'd know Nate Roman. Did you guys love holes?

[Nate Mason]

Oh, yeah, dude, that's like right up there with the Hardy boys.

[Spencer]

That's in the same tier of. If you're a 12 year old boy, you read Hatchet and holes, those would be hatchet books.

[Brody Henderson]

That's back when Nate used to draw as he does right now. Like draw guns on pieces of paper.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. Like guys fighting each other on mountains and stuff.

[Brody Henderson]

Yep.

[Roman]

Stanley's last name is Yelnance, which is what backwards? Randall.

[Spencer]

Stanley.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, sorry.

[Spencer]

Wow.

[Brody Henderson]

Sorry. Sorry.

[Spencer]

So creative question 3.

[Nate Mason]

This feels good when you know a whole bunch of stuff that Randall and Brody don't know.

[Spencer]

The topic is ecology. Add that to your movie club.

[Randall Brody]

On holes.

[Spencer]

Add that to your movie club.

[Corinne]

I was going to ask what the theme is there.

[Nate Mason]

Digging holes.

[Spencer]

This next great question is the Adam license.

[Phil]

Sorry, I've got. I've got one more thing to add. The movie's great because it's like a last vestige of when they used to rap for through the plot of the movie during the credits, so.

[Spencer]

Oh, yeah. Doesn't Shia LaBeouf.

[Phil]

Shia raps. Dig it. Oh, oh, dig it. Yeah, they just. Yeah. If you want to hear a recap of what you just watched, question three,

[Spencer]

the topic is I call is ecology. In this next great question is via Adam Leister, also known as the bush. This region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands, also known as the bush. This region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannas and shrublands. Corinne, you have this one, right?

[Corinne]

Yes.

[Spencer]

Randall, you have this one, right?

[Randall Brody]

Boy, I hope so.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

Why am I drawing a glance after

[Randall Brody]

not knowing about the movie Holes? I find myself.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall Brody]

In a bit of a hole.

[Spencer]

You must have Just been slightly too old in 2000 to.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, 2003.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Rick Fox plays a character named Clyde. Clyde sweet feet.

[Spencer]

That's right. In Randall's sweet spot.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Rick Fox film.

[Randall Brody]

That's a good guy.

[Spencer]

Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, savannahs, and shrublands. Brody, do you have this one right now?

[Brody Henderson]

I think I do now.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Brody, is that a new first light?

[Brody Henderson]

The wick.

[Corinne]

Oh, it's nice.

[Brody Henderson]

Lightweight. Love it.

[John]

It's a new heather gray color, I guess.

[Spencer]

Right.

[Corinne]

Okay.

[Spencer]

Is that ash gray?

[Corinne]

Have it in new.

[John]

It's also going to be available in black.

[Randall Brody]

Oh.

[Spencer]

What's been hot at the store lately, John? What are people buying up there?

[Brody Henderson]

Well, not bear rugs.

[John]

Not bear rugs. No. Still working on that.

[Spencer]

That Brody's bear rug.

[John]

But a lot of turkey stuff has been becoming popular. Turkey season's less than a month out, so first light turkey vests have been a very hot seller so far. The approach hoodie, which was a 2025 first light product. Think of it as like a wick hoodie, but with the integrated face mask. Yeah. All the turkey stuff. Phelps Easy. Clucker. Diaphragm. That one goes out the door pretty quickly. So if you're in Bozeman, feel free to stop by a store, get stocked up for turkey.

[Randall Brody]

This guy's good.

[Spencer]

You're in good hands.

[Corinne]

Store online.

[Brody Henderson]

As far as social media videos go. Like the crew at the Bozeman meat eater store, man, they, like, knock it out.

[Randall Brody]

How's the morale doing? As the morale doing at the store?

[John]

Morale?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

Couldn't be higher.

[Randall Brody]

That's why I go there.

[Spencer]

That's good. One more time. Also known as the bush, this region of Australia refers to the continent's interior that's famous for its deserts, south savannahs and shrubland. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says the Outback. Roman, the Outback. Randall, the Outback. John, the Outback. Corin says Tasmania. Brody says the Outback. The correct answer is the Outback.

[Corinne]

I thought you were going for a knock.

[Brody Henderson]

Come on. There's a whole chain of restaurants named after it. Corinne.

[Spencer]

Although about 75% of Australia is considered the outback, only about 55% of the continent's population lives there. The area is known for its mar like appear, mars like appearance, unique wildlife, and aboriginal people. It's also home to the dingo fence, which is the world's longest fence at 3,500 miles long. It creates a dingo free zone for sheep herders.

[Nate Mason]

That looks like the dmz, dude.

[Spencer]

There is a map of that dingo fence.

[Randall Brody]

Why didn't they just do a straight line?

[Brody Henderson]

And it's seriously like there's not dingoes on the other side.

[Spencer]

They. They say there are some holes in it and there's certainly some ding made it through. But for the most part it does its job. Phil has a photo, an aerial photo of the dingo fence as well.

[Nate Mason]

How does that compare to the length of the Great Wall?

[Spencer]

I don't know. This is the longest fence though. 3,500 miles long. How long is the Great Wall?

[Nate Mason]

I have no idea.

[Roman]

I don't know.

[Randall Brody]

I just know I watched a video the other day of Anthony Edwards on the Great Wall of China and he said that shit steep.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

That's the only Great Wall fact I have.

[Spencer]

Reference question for the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Lauren Hope. Leon Leonwood created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell. Not looking for the brand. We are looking for what that type of boot is called. Leon Leonwood, damn it. Created this type of boot in 1912 by combining a leather upper with a rubber lower shell.

[Nate Mason]

There's a name.

[Corinne]

Dude, I totally forget what this hole. I mean, half of you guys have that kind of boot.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I don't. I don't think there should be any chit chat about this particular question.

[Spencer]

Corinne, do you have this kind of boot at home?

[Corinne]

I do not.

[Spencer]

Okay. Do you, Brody?

[Brody Henderson]

I do.

[Spencer]

John, do you have this type of boot?

[John]

I do not actually. I used to, but wore them out pretty good.

[Spencer]

Randall, you have this one, right?

[Brody Henderson]

I do.

[Spencer]

Do you own this boot?

[Randall Brody]

I own a pair of these boots that I won from Schnee.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Randall Brody]

When Matt Miller.

[Brody Henderson]

That's a big.

[Randall Brody]

It's not.

[Brody Henderson]

It's not.

[Randall Brody]

I was going to say whatever.

[Nate Mason]

Sorry, I don't think I have this right now.

[Spencer]

I'm not sure.

[Nate Mason]

Do you have flip them over.

[Roman]

I'm feeling good about it, but your brand point kind of threw me off.

[Spencer]

Now looking for the brand.

[Nate Mason]

That's why I feel good about mine.

[Spencer]

Of boot?

[Randall Brody]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Leon Leonwood created this type of Boot in 1912.

[Nate Mason]

Is that his real name?

[Spencer]

By combining a leather.

[Randall Brody]

You're gonna kick yourself for making a big deal out of his name with a rubber lower?

[Spencer]

Probably not, no.

[Randall Brody]

I mean you won't kick yourself.

[Corinne]

Totally forgot.

[Randall Brody]

Literally. But figure you're gonna go.

[Spencer]

Everybody ready? Dude, Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says the duck boots. Oh, Roman says pack boot. Randall says pack boot. John without an answer. K answer. Brody says duck boot. The correct answer is the duck boot, also known as the bean boot or the main hunting shoe. So we'd also accept those answers.

[Corinne]

O m a I n like the state.

[Nate Mason]

I would like to see you kick yourself.

[Corinne]

We won't forget this.

[Randall Brody]

Would you get on to his name, please? Spencer?

[Spencer]

L.L. bean designed the the duck boot to survive hunting season in Maine. His idea was to combine the comfort of a leather boot with the durability of a rubber boot. But the concept near make it off the ground. After 90 of the first 100 pairs were returned, customers found that the single stitch easily tore, which got Leon to instead go with a triple stitch that is still used today.

[Nate Mason]

Great flavor text. I I They're kind of dead to me now once they got rid of their lifetime warranty.

[Randall Brody]

That's because people are monsters.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, it's true.

[Roman]

So bean boot would have been wrong.

[Nate Mason]

Spencer.

[Spencer]

I would take bean boot if you said bean boot, but if you just said L.L. bean did not want that as your answer. Question five. The topic is natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by William Meyer for sending this great question. William is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia atthe meat eater.com. some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. We'll find out if the Shelby Index is in danger of winning or losing today. Some scholars believe this nursery rhyme was inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs in trees.

[Nate Mason]

I think I have like the sounds right but not the words.

[Spencer]

See if you have the name.

[Randall Brody]

So is is a pack boot an insulated no pack boots?

[Nate Mason]

A modified version that he he used the the bean boot or the duck boot and inspired his pack boots.

[Randall Brody]

Gotcha.

[Nate Mason]

And it was like, hey, we need these to be better hikers.

[Randall Brody]

Gotcha.

[Nate Mason]

I don't know how I know that.

[Roman]

Yeah, well, you know so much about boots, Nate.

[Nate Mason]

I like boots.

[Spencer]

I feel like a pack boot doesn't exclusively have to have rubber on the bottom either, do they? I think they do. Yeah. I thought you'd see leather.

[Randall Brody]

It's a rubber. It's a rubber lower, a leather upper.

[Spencer]

Duck boots. Some scholars. This nursery rhyme is inspired by the Native American practice of suspending birch cribs. In trees. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, Rockabye Baby. Roman says Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Randall Rockabye baby. John without an answer. Corinne says lullaby baby. Brody says Rockabye baby. The correct answer is Rock a Bye baby. It's unclear what the inspiration was for Rockabye Baby. With theories ranging from Egyptian deities to English royalty. Some believe the song was written by Mayflower colonists who observed different tribes place birch cradles in trees. This practice was done to keep babies safe while adults hunted, gathered and worked fields. The baskets were suspended from branches, providing a swinging motion that soothed the infants. Phil, we're halfway through the game of Trivia. Give us a scoreboard update at halftime.

[Phil]

Corinne is on the board with zero points. John has one, Roman has two. Randall has three. And tied up in first place with four points are Nate Mason and Brody Henderson.

[Spencer]

Game going into the back.

[Nate Mason]

This is when I crash and burn.

[Spencer]

the topic is hunting. This three letter acronym which Remington says is quote one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting shells refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets.

[Nate Mason]

Oh, I got so many questions about this.

[Spencer]

Okay, Brody will be able to help you answer them.

[Nate Mason]

Sweet.

[Spencer]

This three letter acronym which Remington says is one of today's most popular types.

[Brody Henderson]

What's this thing?

[Spencer]

Air Turkey hunting shell. Tomorrow refers to ammo.

[Brody Henderson]

No.

[Spencer]

Then I can Tungsten pellets.

[Brody Henderson]

I can't. I'll talk about this afterwards.

[Spencer]

It would be a hint if I said okay Again, this is question six. Topic is hunting. This three letter acronym which Remington says is one of today's most popular types of turkey hunting. Shel refers to ammo that uses tungsten pellets.

[Brody Henderson]

You got one right.

[Spencer]

Corinne likes Corinne's answer. Roman John, do you have your answers? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says tss. Trs Randall tss. John and Corinne and Brody say tss. The correct answer is tss. TSS stands for Tungsten Super Shot. These shells Use a tungsten alloy that is 22% more dense than standard tungsten and 50, 56% more dense than lead. TSS shells have become more popular in the last decade with NWTF saying that they have, quote, pushed the boundaries for hunters on what used to be considered the max range for lethal turkey shots.

[Brody Henderson]

Tune in to Meat Eater News. Yeah, we got a segment coming up on tungsten ammo.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Nate Mason]

Is it how expensive it is?

[Brody Henderson]

It has to do with that, dude. 500 tungsten, you gotta tune.

[Nate Mason]

Okay, I'll tune it. Well, I'm, like, buying shells this week,

[Brody Henderson]

but if you've noticed, if you're trying to buy this, like, if you waited to the last minute to buy this stuff, it's expensive.

[Nate Mason]

100.

[Brody Henderson]

You can find it.

[Spencer]

Is it. Is it tariff related?

[Nate Mason]

That's part of it.

[Spencer]

So I feel like this is from Geopolitics. Okay. And that news episode will be dropping the day after this episode, so you'll get all informed. What other TSS questions did you have, Nate?

[Nate Mason]

Well, is it worth it?

[Spencer]

Yes, worth it.

[Nate Mason]

It's worth.

[Brody Henderson]

If you like shooting turkeys at 60.

[Nate Mason]

I've never shot a turkey before.

[Spencer]

Best way to kill a gobbler.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Brody Henderson]

Like, it's a game changer.

[Spencer]

20 bucks a shell, dude.

[Ad Voice]

Well, not.

[Brody Henderson]

I mean, like, you just need one this year. Like, in years previously.

[Spencer]

That's expensive.

[Nate Mason]

I'm operating on the market margin here.

[Brody Henderson]

Five, six bucks a shell. Like, sure, it's worth it.

[Spencer]

Put in the black channel, Nate. You could ask, see if anyone has some old tss.

[Nate Mason]

They would say, dude, I've asked for enough free crap. I've used up all mine. My chips.

[Spencer]

Speaking of turkeys, next week is turkey week here at meat eater. Starting March 30, you'll get our best turkey hunting content across our website, podcasts, and social media. We'll also have sales and turkey week sweepstakes that includes $13,000 in gear and a 2027 Rio Grande guided hunt. Head over to the media on March 30.

[Brody Henderson]

I want to win that.

[Nate Mason]

How many yards does it add to your effective range?

[Brody Henderson]

Like, I'm not going to answer that in the way you want me to.

[Nate Mason]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

I've killed multiple gobblers. 60 yards.

[Spencer]

Got it.

[Nate Mason]

So, like, what's typical?

[Brody Henderson]

40 if I was shooting lead number five. Yeah, 40.

[Nate Mason]

Dude, if a turkey walks by at 50 yards, I will buy you a something.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm not going.

[Nate Mason]

What you're saying I'm not gonna buy tss? I'm just not Going, you're just gonna

[Spencer]

get closer to them than that.

[Nate Mason]

That's what I'm saying.

[Brody Henderson]

If you're a really good turkey hunter and a really good caller, you don't need it.

[Nate Mason]

I'm zero things.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I like bush.

[Brody Henderson]

Like sneaking up now.

[Nate Mason]

That sounds good.

[Spencer]

Question 7. Topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Sammy Stone. Marmots were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal. That's used to signal danger.

[Nate Mason]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

Okay, Nate, the guy that you're competing with, Brody, seems to not know this one. Marmots were given the nickname Blake.

[Brody Henderson]

You know what a marmot is?

[Nate Mason]

I can point one out because I think I saw a dead one in Korea once.

[Spencer]

It's used to signal.

[Randall Brody]

Are they in Korea?

[Brody Henderson]

You may have.

[Randall Brody]

They might be.

[Spencer]

They're pretty, like, cosmopolitan Animal Mongolia.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah. The tracks. Well, they didn't call them this. That here.

[Randall Brody]

Nate, what are you. Are you shooting a 20 gauge or 12 gauge?

[Nate Mason]

12.

[Randall Brody]

Okay.

[Roman]

Yeah.

[Nate Mason]

I mean, I guess I could shoot a 20.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah, I'll give you.

[Brody Henderson]

That's the other thing about that TSS stuff. You don't need a.

[Randall Brody]

Do you have a 20?

[Brody Henderson]

Don't need a 12.

[John]

But I don't have.

[Nate Mason]

I'd have to go buy chokes and crap. Like, I got all my setup for my 12. We'll talk about this offline. They don't want to hear about my shotgun setups.

[Brody Henderson]

Know what works real good? A slug.

[Spencer]

You're distracting. You're distracting Nate from coming up with an answer. Marmots were given the nickname Blake because of their squeal. That's used to signal danger. John, do you have this one right?

[John]

I think so. I've heard this before, more or less for groundhogs rather than marmots, but.

[Spencer]

Come on, man.

[Phil]

He's getting mad.

[Spencer]

Randall, do you like your answer?

[Randall Brody]

I do.

[Spencer]

Okay, Randall. Brody, very confident. John. A little confident. Roman. Corinne, do you have an answer? Marmots were given the nickname Blank Pig because of their squeal that's used to signal danger. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Thunder Pig. Roman says screaming Pig. Randall. Whistle John. Whistle Corinne. Screaming Pig.

[Randall Brody]

I did forget a letter.

[Spencer]

Brody. Whistle Pig. The correct answer is whistle Pig. Which is a restaurant.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

If you walk out of the adult store in downtown Bozeman, you take a left and a right, you get to the meat eater store. If you walk out of the adult store and you turn to the right, you'll go to Whistlepig.

[Spencer]

Yeah, yeah. You'll see they have a Marmot.

[Randall Brody]

I've always wanted to explain where the meat eater store is. Perfect opportunity.

[Spencer]

Groundhogs have different whistles for different predators. Biologists scientists say they've heard unique chirps to signal the presence of eagles, coyotes, bears, humans, and more. Here is what they sound like.

[Corinne]

That's very cute.

[Spencer]

They're good whistlers.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

I think Brody's impatient. No,

[Spencer]

that is a whisper.

[Brody Henderson]

It's a little stressed. They also call them rock Chucks.

[Spencer]

Rock chucks? Woodchucks.

[Nate Mason]

That's what that is.

[Spencer]

It's the same thing.

[Brody Henderson]

There's a long range shooting contingent that likes to.

[Randall Brody]

Oh, yeah,

[Brody Henderson]

big rock chuck shooting.

[Spencer]

There's a spot in Utah that I've driven through multiple times on the interstate where there's a stretch of road where you see five or ten of these things every time. It's. It's crazy. I've never seen so many woodchucks or rock Chucks in one spot. Question 8. The topic is conservation. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. And the room is stopped. The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. Do you have this one right, Randall?

[Randall Brody]

I have a guess.

[Spencer]

A guess.

[Randall Brody]

Okay, I have a guess that I like. Did Shelby get. Is this where Shelby got her 0.66 from?

[Spencer]

No, that was on the TSS, which I think she said TPS or something like that. So I'm a good husband. So I gave her the 0.6.

[Randall Brody]

Did Roman get a point six?

[Roman]

Yeah, he's looking.

[Brody Henderson]

I know you've had a lot of time to really decorate your board n in this round of trivia.

[Corinne]

Yeah, I come here to learn, not to play.

[Spencer]

The Source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

I have what seems like could be a good answer, but I did not know this. The answer to this thing.

[Spencer]

This is one of those questions that I feel like a seventh grade science class kid.

[Randall Brody]

I'll be honest.

[Spencer]

A better chance than you guys.

[Randall Brody]

I don't think I've ever heard of this.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I'm not like the seventh grade science thing. They weren't teaching this when I was in seventh.

[Spencer]

The source and blank dynamic describes how different habitats create population growth or decline for organisms.

[Roman]

This seems like a play on words. If I can help my fellow contestants.

[Brody Henderson]

Man, there's a lot of like. You have this one, right?

[Roman]

I don't think so.

[Spencer]

Okay, source. Source and blank. Is everybody ready?

[Nate Mason]

No, no, I'm changing it okay, see,

[Spencer]

Nate's on his third.

[Nate Mason]

Yep.

[Brody Henderson]

Nate just got a hint.

[Nate Mason]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Wow. Change his answer. Roman doesn't know it, does he? No, he doesn't.

[Nate Mason]

Dude, if I get it, because that hint, I will be. I will kiss you.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay, I'm holding you to that.

[Spencer]

Yeah, that'll be one. Tss. Shell and Roman, a little smooch. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says resource. Roman says supply. Randall, space. John, capacity. Corinne. Without an answer, Rhodey says resource. The correct answer, which Nate crossed out, is sink. The source and sink dynamic.

[Nate Mason]

I had size.

[Spencer]

Oh, size.

[Nate Mason]

I just have bad handwriting.

[Spencer]

The source and sink dynamic. The source and sink model shows how populations change across adjacent habitats. At the source habitat, you have growing populations. At the sink habitat, you have declining populations. Here's an example. On one side of a fence, you have a state park with a lush forest that doesn't allow any hunting. This is the source population for whitetails. And on the other side of the fence is a bean field with tree stands and tower blinds. This would be the sink population for deer. Source and sink dynamics like this factor into game management across state lines and unit boundaries.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm very disappointed. I've never heard of that.

[Spencer]

Source and sink. We have one neighbor in my little area who is the source population of voles because he has a very trashy yard. And then the rest of us are the sink.

[Brody Henderson]

Where the does he have a trash yard? Is it just natural? It doesn't meet the standards for your neighborhood?

[Spencer]

It's just a lack of grooming around some of his little buildings.

[Brody Henderson]

Homeowners association getting after him?

[Spencer]

No, no. It's all behind a fence. It's not that bad. I was the sour of the vol for a while.

[Nate Mason]

Ma', am, he does not.

[Spencer]

This is source and sync. All right, Phil, we have two questions left.

[Phil]

Give us a scoreboard update, two questions remaining. It's a fairly tight game for three players. John, Curran and Roman are no longer in the running, but Nate and Randall have five points and Brody is one point ahead with six in first place

[Spencer]

with two questions to go. Question nine. The topic is gear. This Seattle based outdoor store with the word co op in their logo is America's largest consumer co op.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, I've been spending a lot of money there lately.

[Roman]

What have you been buying there, Brody?

[Brody Henderson]

No, I'll talk about it. I don't want to get sound like

[Phil]

kind of a hint.

[Brody Henderson]

Kind of a hint.

[Spencer]

Seattle based outdoor.

[Brody Henderson]

Stupid. That was a stupid thing to say.

[Spencer]

The word co op in their logo is America's largest Consumer co op.

[Brody Henderson]

But I feel like, like, how could you. You not know?

[Spencer]

This could have a 100 percenter in the room here. What are some other source and sinks? Like, like the bison dingo fence. The dingo fence.

[Randall Brody]

Well, that was the first one that came to mind.

[Spencer]

That'd be good to be a sink. They'd have to get to the other side and die. Though I figure there's a couple, you know, Bison. Bison. The source would be the park. The sink would be if they wander out of the park and get killed by a tribal member or a Montana tag holder. This Seattle based outdoor store with the word co op in their logo is America's largest consumer co op.

[Nate Mason]

I had a neighbor growing up who had like a vendetta out for moles in his process. He'd tamp down all the mole holes and then come back like 20 minutes later and see which ones had opened back up that they'd run through. And then he'd tamp them down again and he'd sit out there with a. With a spade and wait to see the little trail that's popping. And he. He had a great yard.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh my. I used to work on golf course many years ago and we used to get a bounty for.

[Nate Mason]

What was the bounty?

[Brody Henderson]

It was like five bucks.

[Nate Mason]

That's a good.

[Phil]

But if they're messing up a green

[Brody Henderson]

or a tee, they can really do a lot. So we used to stomp them when we saw them.

[Spencer]

Is everybody ready?

[Corinne]

Cats take care of.

[Spencer]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Roman and Randall and John and Corinne and Brody. The whole room says rei. The whole room got that correct. It's REI as a consumer co op. REI says their business is run by the customers who use it instead of external shareholders. This has been part of their identity since REI was founded in 1938. There are 25 million co op members, with one of the unique benefits being that you get to vote in their annual election for the board of directors.

[Phil]

Huh?

[Spencer]

Question 10. Before we do question 10, we will get another scoreboard update before Phil.

[Phil]

The song remains the same since I was 100. Or Brody has seven. Randall and Nate have six.

[Spencer]

Question 10, the topic.

[Brody Henderson]

Wait, aren't you doing a roundup of correct answers?

[Spencer]

Oh, you're good. Thank you. I wasn't going to.

[Phil]

I think I should count again.

[Spencer]

Just saved me from a conservation donation. Number one was Yellowstone River. Number two is the movie Holes. Three, the Outback. Four, that is the duck boot, the bean boot, or the main hunting shoe. Five was rockabye baby. Six was TSS, seven is whistle pig. Eight was the sink, and nine was REI. Here's question 10. The topic is cooking.

[Nate Mason]

Nice.

[Spencer]

PEI mussels are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Brody gets this one right, he is writing his ants round.

[Brody Henderson]

I really like muscles.

[Nate Mason]

Spencer, this is just a fishing question.

[Corinne]

If I've gotten it right, P.E.I.

[Spencer]

mussels are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

[Nate Mason]

Did you do this on purpose?

[Brody Henderson]

Does Campioni have muscles, Randall?

[Randall Brody]

Yes.

[Brody Henderson]

God, I love those things.

[Spencer]

What do you got, Randall?

[Randall Brody]

I'm just looking at pack boots.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Pack boots versus what are you learning? I mean, it does say Leon. Leon Wood Bean invented the precursor to modern pack boots known as the main hunting shoe in 1911. They're. The difference is that a pack boot is lined with felt, which is definitely something that L.L. bean did.

[Nate Mason]

A lot of P.E.I.

[Spencer]

muscles are named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

[Brody Henderson]

Spencer ain't budging on that one, apparently.

[Spencer]

I don't think we're gonna give you the pack boot. Sounds like that came later. The duck boot was the OG do you have this one right, Nate?

[Nate Mason]

Nope.

[Spencer]

Roman, do you have this one right?

[Roman]

I'm feeling suspiciously decent about it.

[Spencer]

Oh, okay, good. Brody, I didn't know that about you. I didn't know you're a big muscle guy.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, God, Man, I love that. Broth and bre.

[Phil]

Mussels and fries is probably in my top three meals.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I love that.

[Brody Henderson]

It's the worst thing is that, like, we go to Steve's shack, and it's just, like, miles of muscle encrusted shoreline, but we're, like, never there at a time of year when it's like, yeah, you could. You can go get them, like, because

[Spencer]

the season's closed because of that.

[Brody Henderson]

What are they at? What. What is it called? Paralytics. Yeah.

[Randall Brody]

Yeah. Second Street Bistro in Livingston is probably where we do most of our mussels and fries.

[Spencer]

P.E.I. mussels named after this island that's found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Nate is going to make one last change, then we're going to flip them over. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Prince Edward Island. Roman Prince Edward Island. Randall, Same answer. John, without an answer. Corinne and Brody say Prince Edward Island.

[Randall Brody]

That's not what Brody.

[Spencer]

No, Says Prince Edward.

[Phil]

Muscles, that's not the name of the island.

[Brody Henderson]

Come on.

[Spencer]

I think we're gonna give it to you. Go ahead.

[Brody Henderson]

Don't give it to me. I don't care.

[Corinne]

Dude, you know that his belly was, like, grumbling.

[Spencer]

The answer is Prince Edward. That's fine.

[Brody Henderson]

Don't give it to me. I really don't care.

[Spencer]

Edward muscle.

[Nate Mason]

That's not.

[Phil]

I. I would give it to him, but if he wants to go to

[Randall Brody]

a tie, I'd give it to him.

[Spencer]

No, I don't want to.

[Brody Henderson]

We can do a tiebreaker.

[Spencer]

We're gonna give him the point. PEI muscles are a type of blue muscle that comes from the coastline of Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island.

[Brody Henderson]

Now a bunch of people are going

[Spencer]

to be like, brody didn't get it, bro. They are considered. They are considered a superior muscle thanks to the cold, nutrient rich waters where they're raised. P.E.I. mussels are known for their jet black shells, sweet flavor, and tender meat.

[Randall Brody]

Another way of looking at it is if you count pack boot and you don't count Prince Edward mussels, I would have just won outright. So we don't even need to go

[Spencer]

to a time if you want a

[Randall Brody]

clean ending to the show.

[Spencer]

Yeah, yeah. Randall won it. We'll give it to Brody for Prince Edward muscles. Brody's the winner today with eight correct answers.

[Randall Brody]

I feel like this fell flat.

[Spencer]

Beats the shelby index by one point.

[Randall Brody]

Do another episode three.

[Spencer]

Three. Brody, where's the $500?

[Brody Henderson]

Man?

[Spencer]

I don't know.

[Brody Henderson]

That, like, whole thing just threw me off. Should we do a tiebreaker, Spencer?

[Spencer]

No, let's.

[Brody Henderson]

Since we have a new conservation director in Mark Kenyon and we're going to do like a new version of the lai, let's throw some money in the meat eater land access initiative.

[Spencer]

Okay. Mark thinks that's coming this summer. We haven't done an auction house of oddities in a while. That we have. All kinds of good stuff. All right, join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show conservation always wins.

[Randall Brody]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Phil]

Thank you, spouse.

[Randall Brody]

Right, Spencer.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Spencer from South Dakota. He's the host.

[Brody Henderson]

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.
