[Spencer Newarth]

Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis Randall, Alec Cade, Eric Riva, Max and Nate. 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. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. We got a mailbag question here from Leonard and Lizzie Van Erden. My family and I are moving from Australia to Alberta in 2026. I'm excited to get into hunting and fishing that Canada has to offer, but I'm leaving behind a lifetime of outdoor knowledge that's specific to a different continent. I'm a big reader. Could you recommend any books to shorten the learning curve for someone new to the region's outdoors? All right, what recommendations do we have for Leonard and Lizzy?

[Maximus]

It's not much of a read. It's more of like an informational guide, but it's almost like a pamphlet or a brochure. But there's this book called Ducks at a Distance and it teaches you all about the different species of divers dabblers, just all the different ducks. And it gives you the explanations of a hen and a drake, the different colors, the different plumages.

[Randall]

They're coming from Australia. You think they're really interested in Alberta.

[Maximus]

Yeah, that's where like

[Eric]

to Australia tomorrow.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

What would he be interested?

[Spencer Newarth]

Don't the prairie puddles go up into

[Maximus]

Alberta and then like a lot of ducks are made in Alberta A lot of ducks come through Alberta, and I'm just poking fun. They're gonna see a lot of ducks. So that's my recommendation.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good recommendation. What other recommendations do we have for Leonard and Lizzy for learning Alberta?

[Randall]

Well, the obvious one would be meat eaters. You know, guide.

[Eric]

Oh, that's a great idea.

[Randall]

Hunting, butchering, and cooking.

[Spencer Newarth]

The survival book. That would work as well.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

I feel like a lot of that is specific to North America.

[Randall]

I don't think they should be too stressed out.

[Spencer Newarth]

I mean, a whole nother continent.

[Randall]

Well, the animals, it's not like they smell differently. As in, like, it's not like they smell you from upwind or, you know, vice versa.

[Phil]

It's like the toilets that go the opposite direction.

[Maximus]

But there's different things that Alberta has.

[Spencer Newarth]

Dude, they still leave tracks.

[Nate]

North American tree squirrel. Phenomenal book.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's a book?

[Nate]

Yeah. It's so good.

[Spencer Newarth]

What's it teach you?

[Nate]

All about squirrels. It's a little. Have you read it? Yeah, dude. You? I've got, you know, here's a hot tip. Next time I host trivia, There's a question coming straight out of that book.

[Spencer Newarth]

Everybody read it. Other recommendations for Leonard and Lizzie.

[Eric]

I'll be honest. I didn't pick up on the fact that they're asking for books until just a moment ago.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Eric]

So I was gonna say the Internet.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's good.

[Eric]

Magazines.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Eric]

I'd go to the library. If they really want a book, I'd go to the library and get, like, old bound volumes of, like, whatever. The best Canadian hunting.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do they have libraries in Canada?

[Eric]

I think so, yeah.

[Maximus]

Okay.

[Eric]

I'm sure they're well funded.

[Spencer Newarth]

Actually, they're probably better than ours.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

On that note, like, I think there's some apps that would be really helpful. The Merlin app that works in Canada. They're gonna certainly encounter a lot of birds they've never seen before. All trails that works in Canada on X. They're new to Canada. Picture this plant identifier. That's something where you take a picture of a plant and then it tells you what it is. I use that in my yard to check its accuracy on things that I know what they are, that I planted them, and it's been 100% accurate for me. Those are all things that I would have if I was going to a new continent.

[Eric]

You guys are all thinking very, like, micro. I was thinking about, like, if you read these, like, if I were to move to another country.

[Spencer Newarth]

Continent.

[Eric]

Continent. My God, I'd want to, like, be converse. Like, imagine if someone moved here and they didn't know, like, if you talked about, like, the Missouri river country or the Badlands, like, I'd want to just familiarize myself with, like, what are the regional conversations among sportsmen about these places?

[Spencer Newarth]

There's a book I read last year. It's called Rivers Run Through Us, and it focused on what the author deemed to be the 10 most important river rivers in North America. I think four or five of them are in Canada. It'd be a great way to just like, learn some basic North American waterway geography and learn about their natural and human history. Any other recommendations for elk of North America?

[Randall]

I mean, if he's like, really wants to dive in deep and nitty gritty. But that. I only reference that one. I've never even tried to just start on page one.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's the one that's supposed to be very, very long.

[Eric]

Yeah, I mean, there's the textbook, the Eastman's books on, like, hunting. There's open country mule deer and then hunting high country mule deer.

[Maximus]

What about the Grace Sporting Journal, too?

[Spencer Newarth]

You could get a subscription for that.

[Eric]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Age of Deer would be another one that. That covers, like, the weird relationship that humans have with deer in North America. How we treat them like pests, but also, like icons. We kill them with guns and vehicles, but we protect them. It's like, weird how we love them and hate them and live beside them. I think that would be good for someone new to the continent. Any. Any last recommendations for Leonard and Lizzie?

[Maximus]

No recommendation, but just good luck. Good luck with the move.

[Eric]

Welcome to North America.

[Maximus]

Welcome.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's nice. Welcome to the continent. All right, we have some housekeeping. On a previous episode, I had a question about the eight letter word that's defined as the period of time. No, not that one. Not that one. A period of time before sunrise and after sun sunset in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated. The correct answer was twilight, but four listeners wrote in saying there is a second acceptable answer, which is the Scottish word gloaming. Gloaming's definition is just the word Twilight and it also has eight letters. So if you said gloaming for that one, give yourself a point.

[Eric]

It's a Scottish word.

[Spencer Newarth]

Scottish word. Has anyone ever heard of gloaming?

[Phil]

I. I have only because there's a radio, a weird Radiohead song on Hail to the Thief called the Gloaming that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yeah. Well, now you can sound really educated. And while your dumb buddies are saying twilight, you say gloaming.

[Phil]

That's Right. Thank you, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Trump them. All right, the Shelby index for today is a three and a half, so our winner should get seven correct answers. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

[Maximus]

Everything.

[Spencer Newarth]

How's that?

[Phil]

Nice.

[Spencer Newarth]

Game on, suckers. Question 1. The topic is wildlife. This will be multiple choice, and this first great question is via Titus McEntee. Which of these countries does not have bears? Is it New Zealand, Iraq, Japan or Thailand? Three of those countries have bears. One of them does not. Is it New Zealand, Iraq, Japan or Thailand? Titus, one of the goats of sending me trivia questions. We appreciate seeing an email from Titus.

[Randall]

Which of these, to be clear, we're talking wild bears. Like, you wouldn't be like, oh, there's

[Spencer Newarth]

a zoo bear display.

[Randall]

There's a zoo in Iraq.

[Spencer Newarth]

If they had a tiger king over there for bears, that would not count. Which of these countries does not have bears? New Zealand, Iraq, Japan, Thailand. Is anybody confident?

[Eric]

I'm 50.

[Nate]

50?

[Maximus]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm 5050 too. Cade knows it. He says nice. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Let's do it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus says New Zealand. Randall. New Zealand. Eric. Thailand. Cade. New Zealand. Alec. Iraq. Nate crossed out Thailand, went with New Zealand. Riva and Yani say New Zealand. The correct answer is New Zealand. Well, Iraq is home to brown bears, Japan is home to brown bears and black bears, and Thailand is home to black bears and sun bears. No bears are native to New Zealand and none have been introduced. Their only native mammals are bats and marine mammals.

[Maximus]

Cool.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 2. The topic is conservation. On the IUCN Red List scale, that measures an animal's risk for extinction, NT stands for near blank. On the IUCN Red List scale, that measures an animal's risk for extinction, NT stands for near blank. Phil, I heard you went to karaoke last night. What'd you sing?

[Phil]

I sang the Goldfinger cover of 99 red balloons. It was a lot of fun.

[Spencer Newarth]

Goldfinger cover.

[Phil]

So the original. I believe the original artist is Nina. It was a German song. And then Goldfinger, the pop punk ska band, has a ripping cover of it.

[Randall]

Did you ever listen? The first. I was introduced to that song by the seven seconds. Do you remember that?

[Phil]

No.

[Randall]

Punk man.

[Phil]

No.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall the Fogey over here trying to figure out how to play video on his phone. What's the problem, Randall?

[Nate]

I don't know what's going on.

[Eric]

Can't figure it out either.

[Maximus]

Are you connecting?

[Eric]

What?

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall apparently has a video of Phil.

[Randall]

Oh, no.

[Spencer Newarth]

99 red balloons. What else are saying? Film silent.

[Eric]

Oh, yeah.

[Maximus]

Don't try it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, there you go.

[Phil]

There's a German.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's the German verse. Very good. Aggressive, kind of Phil. I've never heard you with that kind of attitude.

[Randall]

He was fired up after that.

[Phil]

Got me inspired. I got a BHA membership and went straight to the karaoke.

[Eric]

It was pretty. It was like a pretty sparsely attended karaoke, but everybody's really into it. And Phil by far energized the crowd.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, good.

[Eric]

Yeah. More than anyone, they needed it. Yeah. I felt like a star just sitting at the same table as him.

[Spencer Newarth]

IUCN Red List scale that measures an animal's risk for extinction. NT stands for near. Gotta get a guess. Blank. Is everybody ready?

[Maximus]

I got a T word.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus says termination. Randall, threatened. Eric, terminal. Cade, threatened. Alec, termination. Nate, threatened. Reva, threatened. Giannis, threatened. The correct answer is threatened. Shoot, Al Kade's pitching a perfect game right now. Hell, yeah, Cade. I like the termination, though. Answer. On that scale, near threaten falls between LC least concern and VU vulnerable. The they say near threatened animals are either close to qualifying for vulnerable status or are predicted to in the near future. Some species that they label as near threatened include the greater prairie chicken, tiger shark, Atlantic salmon, Pacific bluefin tuna, Gila monster spotted owl and eastern hemlock. Phil has a picture for us of that scale and where different critters would fall nt.

[Maximus]

Near threatened termination sounds a lot cooler.

[Spencer Newarth]

I like that one. That'd be a lot more. They're being worse shape, though.

[Eric]

Data deficient is really good.

[Randall]

There aren't many of you left, so we've just decided to terminate the rest of you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Think near terminated would come above or below critically endangered?

[Maximus]

Probably above,

[Spencer Newarth]

at least. That's good. Question 3. The topic is hunting. Bovid is to bison and candid is to wolves as blank is too dear.

[Eric]

You should do way more analogies.

[Nate]

This is a good one. I like this, Nate. Bowie, I feel like I'm back in.

[Spencer Newarth]

The SAT is to bison and Candid is to wolves as blank is to deer. Oh, shoot.

[Maximus]

Since Brody isn't here, can you check my.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Max has checked his work with Randall and Randall agrees. Nate liked this question, but he's waffling on what the answer is. I know. Phil, what else did you sing last night?

[Phil]

That's it. One and done.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil]

Yeah, it was a. You know, it was. It was a school night, so I had to get home at a reasonable hour.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bovid is to bison and candid is to wolves.

[Randall]

You must have Heard it on one of the many podcasts that you engineered.

[Maximus]

Oh, come on, Nate.

[Nate]

Dude, I got faith in you.

[Eric]

What's the. What is it for squirrels?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know.

[Eric]

I thought that was a good book.

[Nate]

That is. I've already been a couple years. No, I haven't read it in a couple years.

[Spencer Newarth]

I wonder what it is for Squirrel Store Boys. How you doing? You think you got this one? I think so.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Not even close.

[Nate]

Bove.

[Spencer Newarth]

It is to bison and can. It is to wolves, as this is to deer.

[Randall]

That's what I have written down.

[Maximus]

Might be 100.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm gonna keep it then. I'm gonna keep it. Reva walked in here with not a lot of confidence, and I told her she's gonna get fifth place today. So she was trying to identify the three people that she needs to beat.

[Eric]

Beating me.

[Spencer Newarth]

You guys know this.

[Eric]

You have to know this.

[Spencer Newarth]

I do know this.

[Eric]

Good, good, good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? She's pitching a perfect game still.

[Nate]

Yep.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus and Randall say cervid. Eric without an answer. Cade served. Alec servid. Nate cervid. Riva and Yanni served. They got it. The correct answer is cervid. C, E, R, V, I, D. I was gonna.

[Nate]

Where does that fall into the whole hierarchy? Ungulate. Is that more or less specific?

[Spencer Newarth]

Less. I don't. I don't know.

[Eric]

I don't think it's even the same realm.

[Nate]

Oh, really?

[Eric]

That's a genus.

[Spencer Newarth]

The cervid family is divided into two main subfamilies which are known as Old World deer and New World deer or Old World deer include elk, red deer, and fallow deer, while New World deer include white tails, moose, and caribou. The numbers vary based on sources, but it's generally stated that there are between 39 and 55 species of cervid. Very cool. Question for the topic is fishing. This is our prime for a question of the week, which was won by Jonathan Lambert for sending this great question. Jonathan 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 the meat eater.com the Shenandoah river flows into the Blank river at the border of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

[Nate]

Gosh, there's a song out right in my backyard. I don't know if I have it right.

[Spencer Newarth]

The backyard of Ohio river flows into the Blank river at the border of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

[Maximus]

Ah, how do you spell it?

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, there's a hint from Maximus struggling With what letters go where?

[Eric]

Or is it a Z?

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, you're very confident you have this one, right?

[Nate]

No, I. Oh, I'm not. I have two. I have. I think I've got it down to two rivers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, do you have this one?

[Eric]

Now I'm rethinking my answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Shenandoah river flows into the Blank river at the border of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

[Nate]

I could be thinking about it all wrong, though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Kate, is that a blank whiteboard down there? It is. It's going to cost you your perfect game. It probably is. Damn. Do you know any rivers in that part of the world?

[Maximus]

I don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't. The Shenandoah river flows into the Blank

[Nate]

river, if I'm thinking about this correctly.

[Eric]

Oh, wait, I just changed my answer

[Nate]

up Virginia based on my consternation.

[Eric]

No, just. Just thinking about it more.

[Maximus]

Yeah, I got two.

[Spencer Newarth]

We'll see. A zero percenter.

[Randall]

There's a big white water river. So in that.

[Nate]

I don't think that's. See, that's the one. I'm wondering which way it goes.

[Spencer Newarth]

We have Max, I don't think it's that river spelling. We have Yanni. There's a whitewater culture.

[Nate]

That is a great place to go hit some east coast whitewater, though.

[Randall]

Yeah, I mean, I used to know people that would leave the west to go there for that season.

[Nate]

Yep.

[Randall]

I can't remember the name of that river.

[Nate]

We had a sick white water.

[Eric]

That river's the answer.

[Randall]

No, I think that river is farther south.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall's trying to gather another. A little tip.

[Eric]

Why not?

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max, I got nothing.

[Randall]

Oh, Randall, I think you're on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maximus says Platomic.

[Randall]

Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eric without an answer. Cade says Delaware. Alec, without an answer. Nate says Pomac. Reva without an answer. Yanni says Hudson. The correct answer is the Potomac River. We're gonna give it to Maxwell River.

[Eric]

Are you guys involved? No, we're just Potomac.

[Spencer Newarth]

The meeting of the Shenandoah and Potomac happens at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. This stretch of water is known for great bass fishing and catfishing. From here, the Potomac travels through Washington D.C. before entering the Chesapeake Bay.

[Nate]

You can. There's a trail, the WNOD, that you can take all the way from Washington D.C. out to Harpers Ferry. Running, biking, whatever.

[Spencer Newarth]

And I think it's a national historic park there at Harper's Ferry. Question 5. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Steve. Course and Steve. Another goat of sending me trivia questions. Just like Titus. This Type of European pudding with a colorful name is actually a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. We have eight blank whiteboards in the room. This type of European pudding with a colorful name is actually a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. Randall now coming up with an answer. He's the only one. This type of European pudding with a colorful name is actually a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. Nate, have you been to Harper's Ferry before?

[Nate]

We never made it out there. We wanted to really bad. There's like a cool train or something that goes out of it. We had a whole trip planned, and then it fell through for some reason.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tiny little town. I think it's like 200 people, but they've just, like, made tourism their industry now. This type of European pudding with a colorful name is actually a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. Randall, do you have this one right?

[Eric]

I. I think. I don't want to say I do, but I think.

[Randall]

Is it a colorful name?

[Eric]

I think I have a decent guess.

[Maximus]

That's what throws me off. His colorful name. Is it a pudding or is it a sausage?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah, it's actually a sausage.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's. This type of European pudding with a colorful name is actually a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. This is question five.

[Randall]

Do you have scorpions? I know of a sausage that is made of these things, but it's not a colorful name.

[Eric]

No, wait, I have another guest now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, you stick with what you have or change it.

[Eric]

Let me ask you a question. When you say colorful name, do you mean that literally or figuratively?

[Spencer Newarth]

Not going to help you.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Dang.

[Spencer Newarth]

Kdf.

[Randall]

Usually he's pretty literal.

[Nate]

I think I got it.

[Randall]

He's pretty literal about that kind of stuff.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, you have a nice back whiteboard there.

[Nate]

Oh, that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

Shout out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is that boys?

[Nate]

Dude, if I get this around me. So stoked.

[Randall]

What?

[Nate]

If I get this right, I'll be so stoked.

[Eric]

Did I give this to you, Nate?

[Maximus]

Huh?

[Eric]

Did I give this to you?

[Nate]

Nope. Hopefully not.

[Phil]

We gotta get some merch and, like, a graffiti stencil font where, like, the paint is dripping off of it, says, like, store boys. And then, like, there's like, a white. It's like a fisheye lens from down below while they're all standing over it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Certainly one of you store boys is an artist, right? Somebody there?

[Nate]

No, dude, Trevor's an artist. Let me tell you. What, with the camera.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, that's right. I don't think any of us. T dog media. This type of European pudding with a colorful name is Actually, a sausage made of blood, fat and grains. Is every. Is everybody ready? Yanni?

[Randall]

I'm not ready. One more time.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you have an answer?

[Randall]

It's in there.

[Eric]

Not literal. Not figurative. You're not gonna answer that?

[Nate]

Don't answer it. Don't answer it. I think I got it.

[Randall]

Come on, Nate.

[Nate]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, do you have a perfect game going?

[Nate]

Yup.

[Randall]

Okay, what would you say? You think it's more of a literal.

[Nate]

I'm not telling you.

[Eric]

I don't know.

[Nate]

Unless Randall locks in his answer right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tell them the opposite of what you think it is, Nate. Oh, but maybe. But maybe it's actually the real one.

[Nate]

I double. It's figurative.

[Spencer Newarth]

Or do I. I mean serious.

[Nate]

Oh, we got the same answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? I did.

[Maximus]

I would never have ever.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, no. Maximus. Without an answer, Randall says bloody dick. Eric, red pudding. Cade, black pudding. Alec, blood sausage. Nate, spotted dick. Riva, red pudding. Yanni, blood sausage. The correct answer is black pudding.

[Nate]

Dude, I'm pretty sure spotted dick is

[Spencer Newarth]

one that wouldn't be colorful. It was literally.

[Nate]

But no, that's figuratively color. Like, if he has colorful language, he uses foul language.

[Spencer Newarth]

Black pudding is also known.

[Nate]

I'm going to fight this one, dude.

[Spencer Newarth]

Blood pudding and blood sausage is considered one of the world's oldest forms of sausage, with mentions of it in Homer's the Odyssey dating back to 700 B.C. blood from cows, pigs, and sheep are most commonly used, but it also works with game and fish. For a fishy version of black pudding, go check out April Vokey's recipe on theme eater.com called fish kidney black pudding. No one has left a rating for that recipe yet. I'm dying to know how it tastes, so I'd love if some listeners would go make it and review it again. That's April Vokey's fish kidney.

[Phil]

Black Nate, spotted dick is made with dried fruit like raisins, which is why it's spotted.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now, Yanni wrote down blood sausage, which is also one of their names. Should we give it to Yanni?

[Eric]

Because blood was in the answer and blood's not a colorful. I also had blood sausage.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's where my mind was going. Don't take this away from me, Spencer. Kade got that one right.

[Maximus]

We have pudding.

[Eric]

Phil, can you look up bloody dick?

[Phil]

Yeah, I'll turn safe search off.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Phil, scoreboard update, please.

[Randall]

That's good.

[Phil]

Eric is in last place with no point.

[Maximus]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bummer, dude.

[Phil]

Alex on the board with one. Max and Riva and Giannis all have three points apiece. Tied up in first place with four points, every one of them are Cade, Randall and Nate.

[Eric]

I thought you still had a perfect game.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, because I missed the the Potomac question. Fun game going into question six.

[Nate]

Oh, I'm so confident about that last one.

Question 6. The topic is ecology. This fruity term refers to a region that has warmer weather, particularly in winter, than the surrounding geographical area. Oh, buddy. All right. The room has their confidence back. No, this fruity term never had refers to a region that has warmer weather, particularly in winter, than the surrounding geographical area.

[Randall]

I don't think I knew black pudding. I don't think that was in there

[Nate]

anybody ever had.

[Spencer Newarth]

It was.

[Maximus]

I think it was anybody.

[Randall]

I've had a lot of blood sausage, but I don't know if it was

[Spencer Newarth]

also known as blood sausage.

[Randall]

So is it the same thing?

[Spencer Newarth]

I think if you have a sauce like boudin is, you know, that's made of blood as well. I feel like if you've had boudin, you could say you've had black pudding. I don't think there's blood in boudin. I saw there's not a blood based pudding. Sorry. I thought boudin had some amount.

[Phil]

There's a varietal of boudin called boudin noir, which is black boudin and that has. That's black pudding.

[Spencer Newarth]

Getting our question.

[Eric]

Shout out, Phil.

[Phil]

This fruity term I've got a computer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Refers to a region that has warmer weather, particularly in winter, than the surrounding geographical area.

[Randall]

I like how you found a black medium T shirt.

[Spencer Newarth]

Boys got to represent half the room thinks they have it. The other half not so much.

[Eric]

You guys know this?

[Spencer Newarth]

Does Max know what you think? No. No. We literally talked about this like three days ago.

[Phil]

Really?

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, wow. Kade says the store boys were discussing this fruity term. Just. You're going to want to start over.

[Maximus]

Anything that rhymes with this?

[Spencer Newarth]

No. Did that help you, Alec? No, No, I don't remember this conversation. Was Alec there? Cade? He was there. I was talking directly to him. Wow.

[Nate]

No, don't.

[Eric]

Don't say anything loud but in your head. Start thinking through types of fruit.

[Spencer Newarth]

This fruity term refers to a region that has warmer weather particularly.

[Randall]

I'd like to live in one of

[Spencer Newarth]

these regions than the surrounding geographical area

[Randall]

to grow stuff better.

[Maximus]

How about that?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, man, I'm really curious what you have. Yeah, Maximus.

[Maximus]

I'm over two, I guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus without an answer. Randall says banana belt. Eric without an answer. Cade banana belt. Alec without an answer. Nate says tropical. Reba says citrus belt. Yanni says banana belt. The correct answer is a banana belt.

[Nate]

I feel like tropical would work too.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nah, that ain't good enough.

[Maximus]

Banana belt is like honey.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's fruit, right?

[Maximus]

Would you say it's like the honey hole, like, banana belt?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, we'll get to that later. What's your question?

[Maximus]

Would you, like, consider, like, the banana belt, like, kind of like the honey hole, like.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, no, I'll tell you. Banana belts are created by geographical features such as mountains or lakes. Some examples of banana belts include the Escanaba region in Michigan's up central Colorado's Arkansas river valley, the Lake Champlain valley of New York and Vermont, the Treasure valley of southwest Idaho and the Niagara peninsula in Ontario. So it's just a small area that's warmer than the surrounding area.

[Nate]

Tropical could be a right answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're not going to give that to you.

[Nate]

I'm just throwing that out there. Like. Like what? How would you describe the flavor of a tropical? Tropical? Is flavor like fruity?

[Eric]

Would you describe any of those places

[Nate]

tropical in nature, which I didn't even listen. Definitely not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Those are banana belts. Question 7. The topic is fishing. Another banana belt, Max, is the black hills of South Dakota. You've hunted in a banana belt.

[Randall]

I feel like, like northwest part of Montana has a banana belt.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think it can be, like, very micro. It can be very big. So there's. There's banana belts all over questions.

[Randall]

The thing about tropical is that there is no winter in tropical climates that.

[Nate]

Well, when I was thinking, like, at what scale are you talking geographically? I was thinking of the earth.

[Maximus]

I was.

[Phil]

I'm not.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm.

[Nate]

I'm admitting I was wrong. I'm just saying you could read this and land it. Like, you could have written this question and landed a difficulty.

[Eric]

If it didn't have to be fruity. You could have just said equator.

[Nate]

But tropical is fruity. Like how. What, like

[Spencer Newarth]

banana bell.

[Nate]

I'm not saying I got to do with the tropics.

[Eric]

It has to do with punch.

[Maximus]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Latitude lines around the globe.

[Maximus]

I think my first answer was better than drop.

[Spencer Newarth]

What were your first second answers, Max?

[Maximus]

Orange and citrus.

[Nate]

Question 7.

[Spencer Newarth]

The topic is fishing. This next one. Great question. Is via Jacob Norris. He set this all the way back in 2022 so it took four years to make it on the show.

[Randall]

Question.

[Maximus]

Let me see if I can reel it in.

[Spencer Newarth]

This Japanese word to a fish slaughtering technique where a spike is driven into the brain followed by destruction of the spinal cord.

[Nate]

I have no idea. I got the sounds.

[Maximus]

My brother in law is going to be so mad at me. We just used one of these and over Christmas. Really?

[Spencer Newarth]

You've watched.

[Eric]

What were you doing?

[Maximus]

Catching walleye.

[Spencer Newarth]

This Japanese word refers to a fish slaughtering technique where a spike is driven into the brain followed by destruction of the spinal cord.

[Maximus]

I'm going to take a picture and send that to him. He's going to.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall has this one. He thinks he's the only player.

[Eric]

How late were you guys at the store last night?

[Spencer Newarth]

Ten. They shut her down. Plead the fifth. Plead the fifth. On that one.

[Nate]

Is the fire marshal listening?

[Spencer Newarth]

This Japanese word refers to a fish slaughtering technique where a spike is driven into the brain followed by destruction of the spinal cord.

[Randall]

You said fanatically is okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

I never said anything.

[Nate]

Spelling doesn't never count.

[Spencer Newarth]

I mean spelling doesn't count but you got to be close. I got something that's.

[Randall]

Well, if you read what I have written you will pronounce the right word. But I have no idea.

[Phil]

Max just got a point for platonic.

[Maximus]

Read between lines

[Spencer Newarth]

again. This is question seven.

[Randall]

So you've done this to a fish?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, watched his brother in law.

[Maximus]

Yeah, I watched him do it. And just someone it was from our

[Randall]

crew is going to go is going to do some of this to make some content right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right?

[Randall]

I think yeah, maybe Steve to me.

[Maximus]

Ah man.

[Spencer Newarth]

This Japanese word Turkey hunting. No slaughtering technique sometime in the near future is driven into the brain. Is Max on his phone followed by

[Maximus]

I'm not looking anything. I'm sending it to him.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's doing Phone a friend. Phone a friend. I just sent it to him.

[Maximus]

They're going to be pumped.

[Spencer Newarth]

They're going to be pumped.

[Eric]

Why is Reva in this photo?

[Maximus]

Sorry, I should ask for permission.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max without an answer. Randall, Ike G. Eric without an answer. Cade without an answer. Alec without an answer. Nate. EKG May Riva lobotomize. Yanni. EKG May. The correct answer is E K G May. Well done Yanni. I had a hair. Did everything you needed. Now the spelling on that is I K E J I M E or I K I J I M E or I K E Space J I M E. So you have three choices there or you do like Yanni. I think Johnny had 10 characters in his, but it was. It had everything we needed.

[Eric]

Spelling brothers.

[Nate]

Ayo. Dude, I just learned that there used to be female samurai.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Spike is correctly used, the fish's jaw will instantly hang lip. The fish then has its spinal cord destroyed, is thoroughly bled, and put on ice. This humane slaughtering technique prevents the buildup of lactic acid and adrenaline, which creates a better quality meat. And ikejime is commonly used when a fish is destined for sushi. Max, did you guys destroy the spinal cord as well?

[Maximus]

No, it was more so. Just a spike right in the brain. In the brain?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did you make sushi out of that walleye?

[Maximus]

No, but we made some walleye cakes,

[Spencer Newarth]

but it tasted even better then. Here's question eight. Topic is gear. The Utah brands Black Ovis and Camo blank announced in October 2025 that they were shutting down operations.

[Nate]

Not happy with these guys.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Utah brands Black Ovis and Camo blank announced in October 2025 they were shutting down operations today. Did they have some FHF stuff?

[Nate]

And, buddy, they ordered it two weeks before they announced that they shut down. Like, why even do that? Dude, what are you thinking?

[Maximus]

Mac got it right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, he did. And that is mostly just a picture of Reba. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. The Utah brands Black Opus and Camo blank announced in October 2025 that they were shutting down operations.

[Nate]

You were working when this happened?

[Spencer Newarth]

Dude, I have the same relationship with trivia as I do with, like, tests. Just shuts down. My brain just doesn't work anymore.

[Maximus]

Yeah, I thought you were gonna say, like, women.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's in the roast episode. We don't gotta bring that up. Max, the other store boys, do you guys have this right? Oh, yeah, I believe. Should Eric know this? Yeah, I should. Yep. Damn, Eric. Yeah. Might have to retire after today. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says fire. Randall, fire. Eric without an answer. Cade says fire. Alec, fire. Nate, fire. Reba without an answer. Yanni, fire. The correct answer is fire. Black Ovis made hunting gear while Camo Fire sold discounted hunting gear. The brands were founded in 2008 in Salt Lake City. In a hunting forum post made by the company's co founder, he said this of their bankruptcy quote. If there are eight nails in this coffin, tariffs were four of them. All right, Phil, scoreboard update. We have two questions left.

[Eric]

You were on the slide.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, I was. I went. I hunted that down. He was very open about how the, you know, final week of business went.

[Phil]

Let's see here, Eric.

[Spencer Newarth]

Still a chance.

[Phil]

Alec, Reva, Randall and Maximilian are no longer in the running for the victory, but we have Nate, Giannis and Cade tied up with six, and Randall getting the ikejime question correct and Cade missing it. Randall is now in first place with seven points.

[Maximus]

Dang.

[Spencer Newarth]

Pulling ahead Kade.

[Eric]

If you feel good about these next two, I'll drop one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I really want to go to a tiebreaker.

[Eric]

Yeah, let's do this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall's just in a better mood when the store boys are around. That's right. We've got a different Randall in the room tonight.

[Eric]

Are you guys going back to the store after this?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eric]

Can we have a pizza party? Sweet.

[Spencer Newarth]

Absolutely. Oh, you know, I had a good idea, Randall. We should get a beer after work today.

[Eric]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Okay, good idea. Question 9. The topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Phil Tim Allen. This nine letter word is defined as, quote, animals such as bears, bison, or mammoths of a particularly large size. This nine letter word is defined as animals such as bears, bison, or mammoths of a particularly large size.

[Nate]

Big one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall doesn't know I got it. Like, he has it. Nate, do you have this one?

[Nate]

Yep.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, do you have this one?

[Eric]

I believe so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni has a blank white.

[Nate]

I could see another tropical type situation.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, really.

[Phil]

Where?

[Nate]

I feel real good, but it's wrong.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, you thought you nailed that one.

[Nate]

Oh, I thought I crushed it, dude. I was like tropica cancer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ayo, have you heard of banana belts before?

[Nate]

Yeah, yeah, that's definitely a better answer. Although I think mine's still valid.

[Spencer Newarth]

This nine letter word is defined as animals such as bears, bison, or mammoths of a particularly large size.

[Nate]

It's literally tropical fruit. Like that's a thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni's gonna be out of the running if he can't come up with the correct answer for number nine.

[Phil]

Rodents of Unusual Size, I don't think

[Eric]

you're tied with Cade.

[Nate]

Yeah, no, don't. Don't play this. Don't be like, oh, I'm gonna throw. Don't do that.

[Eric]

I can't. I'm not gonna throw it.

[Nate]

Cool. Why are you asking?

[Eric]

I might drag it out a little bit.

[Nate]

Oh, I do like that.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's not gonna EKG me, you guys. He's gonna let you die in a warm water. You guys are gonna flounder there. How do you say. This nine letter word is defined as animals such as bears, bison, or mammoths. Of a particularly large size. Is everybody ready?

[Eric]

No.

[Maximus]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, what are you taking pictures of over there?

[Nate]

Nothing. I'm looking up the word that I learned that I forgot about. That is the term for female samurai.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eximus is.

[Maximus]

Can't do it, Spencer. Can't do it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Reva's still playing for fifth place over there. Oh. Nine letter word. Yanni. Yani.

[Maximus]

I don't even have a guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maxwell, without an answer. Randall says megafauna.

[Maximus]

Either way. Nate.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eric, without an answer. Cade, Megafauna. Alec. Without an answer. Nate. Megafauna. Riva. What's that say?

[Maximus]

Gigante.

[Spencer Newarth]

Johnny. Without an answer, the correct answer is megafauna. Although specifics on size vary, most define megafauna as something that weighs over 99 pounds. Other scientists say megafauna are simply the largest 10% of species in a given region. And a third group defines megafauna as any animal that you can see from a distance with the naked eye.

[Eric]

I like that.

[Spencer Newarth]

We'd all be megafauna. Yeah. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was New Zealand doesn't have bears. Two, was near threatened NT three, cervid. Four, Potomac River. Five, black pudding. Six, banana belt. Seven, ike gime. Eight, camo fire. Nine, megafauna. Phil.

[Maximus]

Shoot.

[Spencer Newarth]

Scoreboard update.

[Phil]

It is down to Dr. Randall, who is in first place eight now. And Cade and Nate are one point behind him with seven.

[Spencer Newarth]

Riva. Here's where the half point came in for the Shelby index. The topic is woodsmanship. Which two Gulf coast states have the highest elevation?

[Phil]

I love these questions, Spencer. These are good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thank you, Phil. Which two Gulf coast states have the highest elevation? Randall is not going to have an authoritative victory. He looks like he's pondering what those two states could be.

[Randall]

Why did you choose two instead of just asking one?

[Eric]

It's way more interesting this way.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, it's just a better question, I think.

[Randall]

Okay, we.

[Spencer Newarth]

We needed. We needed a question that would maybe. Well, there's only a couple up the difficulty. Which two Gulf coast states have the highest elevation?

[Nate]

I think I got it, dude.

[Maximus]

One I had down wasn't one.

[Spencer Newarth]

If Randall gets this wrong and Nate or Cade gets this right, I'm pulling for you, buddy. I'm pulling for you, Nate.

[Nate]

Oh, thanks, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. And I think actually Randall's probably pulling for both of you.

[Nate]

Randall can suck it.

[Eric]

Yeah, I guess I'd like to get this right. I'm second guessing my answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Eric]

But I also was thinking maybe I shouldn't answer at all. And just let.

[Nate]

No, no.

[Eric]

Determine.

[Nate]

I don't want that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Would you like to win that way, Kade? No.

[Nate]

If you don't answer, I will erase my answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Which two Gulf coast states have the highest elevation? He's about to pull longest yard on us.

[Eric]

You're ref. You're referencing the Adam Sandler remake, presumably, which the og.

[Spencer Newarth]

You also had Burt Reynolds, right?

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni, do you like your answer?

[Randall]

I do.

[Eric]

Have you seen the original?

[Spencer Newarth]

Not yet.

[Eric]

Nice.

[Spencer Newarth]

Not yet. So you probably won't. Which two Gulf coast states have the highest elevation? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers for all the marbles. Max says Alabama. Texas. Randall says Alberta and Texas. He says Alabama and Texas. Eric. Texas. Alabama. Cade. Texas. Alabama. Alec. Alabama. Texas. Nate. Alabama. Texas. Riva. Texas. Georgia. Yanni. Georgia. Texas. The two states are Texas and Alabama. Randall got that one on the board.

[Eric]

Do you want to count? You want to count my miss.

[Nate]

I mean, that's right. Than tropical.

[Spencer Newarth]

We'll give it to you. That's really.

[Eric]

I changed it the very last second. Just.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, what did you have before that?

[Eric]

I had. I had Mississippi, that Hill Country.

[Spencer Newarth]

Guadalupe Peak in west Texas is 8, 751ft tall, putting Texas in 14th place for the highest elevation by state. Alabama's Highest point is 2,400ft in elevation. Mississippi is 800ft, Louisiana is 550ft, and Florida is 350ft. Florida has the lowest highest elevation in the country.

[Maximus]

Quit hogging that. That was a great question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, thank you. We had six of our eight players get it right. Randall, what are you gonna do with that $500 donation today?

[Eric]

I really like that back rub from Max, so I'm gonna donate it. Turkeys for tomorrow.

[Spencer Newarth]

Turkeys for tomorrow.

[Eric]

Turkey season's coming up. Turkeys make Max's heart sing. Why not next Wednesday?

[Spencer Newarth]

Max guided Randall to his first gobbler last year.

[Nate]

Are you going turkey hunting again this year?

[Randall]

Randall? He's.

[Eric]

Wait, ask Max.

[Nate]

Oh, I'm on the docket too, with Max.

[Maximus]

I gotta take Phil first before I take.

[Nate]

Oh, wow.

[Eric]

Let's go. I think we're going out with Cal.

[Spencer Newarth]

We need to get a lottery system going for clients.

[Eric]

Yeah, drawing a Max tag is really highly.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Better than a Montana tag.

[Phil]

We should give that away in our March Madness bracket.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well done, Randall. $500 to turkeys for tomorrow. Kade, excellent job. Nate, right there behind him. One point shot. Oh, yeah. Can we get one more scoreboard update?

[Phil]

Phil?

[Spencer Newarth]

We need to see if. If Reva. Oh, sure did beat three of these jabronis.

[Phil]

Reva tied for seventh, I believe. Or I guess it would be tied for sixth. I I can never get this man cage.

[Eric]

Is that a store boy high?

[Spencer Newarth]

I think that might be a store record. Join us next week for more meat eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[Randall]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

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

[Nate]

three year old bucks.

[Spencer Newarth]

And he's an avid amateur rock hound.

Last spring, Clay Newcomb and I collaborated with Jason Phelps at Phelps Game Calls and Building each of our own favorite turkey diaphragms called prime cuts. Now, I'm going to tell you I love mine because it's easy to use. I'm not going to go. I'm not going to win a turkey calling contest. It's just not going to happen. But when I run this call, I get the sounds that gobblers are looking for. I have a great turkey hunting track record. If you go listen to real turkeys out in the woods, they're not going to win calling contests, right? That's who I listen to. I can make those sounds on my cut. I also hunt with Phelps's cut and I hunt with Clay's cut because they're all three great cuts. Check out Prime Cuts at phelpsgamecalls. Com. I think you'll be glad you did and you'll find out that the Steve Rinella cut is an easy to use cut for beginning callers who just want to start making good turkey noises and getting action.
