Episode Overview

This installment of MeatEater Trivia continues the show’s lively tradition of blending outdoor expertise, conservation awareness, and off-the-cuff humor into a fast-moving quiz competition. Host Spencer Newharth leads the panel through ten rounds of questions across the MeatEater’s "four verticals": hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, with the winner picking a conservation nonprofit for a $500 donation. The episode features boat-owner banter, game show tension, plenty of good-natured jabs, and interesting facts about everything from fish thermal preferences to moles’ worm storage habits. Panelists range from trivia pros to, as one is dubbed, “store boys.”

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, Seth and Alex, John and Sarah. 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. All right, we're starting today's show with a mailbag question. You can send your mailbag questions to trivia@the mediator.com with the subject line mailbag. Brady Buckler says I'm looking to buy my first boat this year. But I've always heard the saying about how the best day of boat ownership the day you buy it.

[Seth]

Nope.

[Spencer Newharth]

And the second best day is the day you sell it. Is that true?

[Seth]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are boats that big of a headache? Seth, do you have any thoughts on this?

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Seth]

Boats are the best thing you'll ever do in your life.

[Brody Henderson]

Totally.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. He just had a baby. What, two months ago?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Seth]

That's pretty sweet to me. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Boat doesn't shit its pants.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Boats, baby.

[Seth]

Okay, listen, there's so much you can do with the boat. And if you. I guess it depends if. If you're like freaking lazy and let it go to.

[Brody Henderson]

Yes.

[Seth]

But if you take care of it, you'll have the best times of your life on the water.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm glad you're doing all kinds of

[Brody Henderson]

things you weren't able to do without it.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Any other boat owners want to add some perspective for Breeze?

[Brody Henderson]

I love my boat.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

I want another one.

[Seth]

Who?

[Brody Henderson]

I would have two or three if I could. I had two for a while.

[Randall Williams]

I bought and sold a boat.

[Seth]

I think it's necessary to have like three to four boats.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I bought and sold a boat before putting it in the water.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Just when I bought it on Craigslist.

[Brody Henderson]

I live.

[Spencer Newharth]

You do this with guns.

[Randall Williams]

But also when I started working, it was. One of. It was like right before I moved over here and I was like, oh, just sell that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

One fewer Trip towing something.

[Spencer Newharth]

You don't even like guns and boats. I'm realizing you just like negotiating with strangers.

[Seth]

You just like buying itself.

[Randall Williams]

There's something exciting about that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Brady, Brody and Seth tell you, get that boat. Don't listen to the folks who say the second best days and bite you.

[Seth]

I wonder what he wants to get. God, I'm dying to know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now I'll ask. I'll check back in with Brady and see if we can get an answer to that. All right, we have some housekeeping. On last week's episode of Trivia, the Wives episode, the tiebreaker question was about how many stars are in the Big Dipper. The correct answer was seven. But in the overtime excitement, my wife Shelby missed the flavor text, which included a callback that I was very proud of. So I'm going to read that today. All right. Earlier in the episode, they talked about the Lakota lore behind Devil's Tower. According to them, seven sisters climbed a small butte to escape a group of hungry bears. As the bears got close, the earth shook until the tiny hill turned into an enormous tower. The bears continued to climb and slide down backwards, which gave the butte its ribbed appearance. And eventually, the bears were buried alive by falling rocks, and the seven sisters escaped. Now, here's the tie in the Lakota say the seven sisters who evaded the bears on Devil's Tower weren't able to get down from the butte. Instead, they rolled birds into the sky and became the seven stars that formed the Big Dipper. So now you know when you're looking up at the Big Dipper, those came.

[Brody Henderson]

He'd tell that story to Virgil.

[Seth]

Yeah, there you go.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's perfect.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

On your boat.

[Spencer Newharth]

On the boat, on the boat. Best thing that's ever happened to him. All right, the Shelby index for today is a four. So our winners should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

[Seth]

You stand to win everything.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 1. The topic is fishing. And as always, this will be multiple choice According to the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service. Which of these is a cool water fish? Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass? One of those is a cool water fish. Is it black crappie, walleye, brook trout, or largemouth bass? Brody, quick to answer.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, it was pretty easy one. I feel like.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, easy one. According to the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service, which of these is a cool water fish? Black Crappie, walleye, brook trout.

[Brody Henderson]

Easier if you got a boat too.

[Spencer Newharth]

Bet Brady won't get this one right. But once he's a boat owner, he'll have the knowledge.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I hope he sends in a photo of his boat.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, maybe his baby too. Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says brook trout. Sarah, walleye. Randall, brook trout. John, brook trout. Alex, brook trout. Brody, walleye. The correct answer is walleye. Brody and Sarah got that one right. Black crappie and largemouth bass are warm water fish. Brook trout are cold water fish and and walleye are cool water fish. Cool water fish prefer colder water than warm water fish. And warmer water than cool than cold water fish. Other cool water species are northern piker and yellow perch. Cool water fish is the in between. Between warm and cold.

[Brody Henderson]

You don't say.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 2. The topic of hunting the. This next great question is via Thomas Peterson. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects. Randall, Sarah, Brody, Seth, Alex, all quick to answer. John is joining them. This may be a 100 percenter. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects. Sort of in the name. Okay, there's a hint. John, do you have this? I think so. Okay, I have a five letter word. Our players think they are six for six. Sodium borate, which is more commonly known by this five letter name, is used by taxidermists to absorb grease and deter insects. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth and Sarah and Randall. The whole room says borax. The whole room got that right. It is Borax. B O R A X. Borax is a white powder that helps preserve the skin of mammals, birds and fish. It's made synthetically, but also occurs in nature when seasonal lakes dry and leave a mineral deposit. Borax is commonly used in cleaning products, laundry boosters, hand soaps and tooth bleaching formulas. Brody, are you a borax user for your homemade European mounts?

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, no, I don't use it on skulls.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like I hear guys use it on skulls.

[Brody Henderson]

I'm sure they have, but no, it's the same thing. No bleach. Nothing harsh on skulls, man. It just ruins them.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sodium borate, also known as Borax. Question 3. The topic is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse, apple or monkey ball. Randall has his answer. Our other Five players have blank whiteboards. Again, this is question three. We're flying through them. Today is woodsmanship. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe, produces a large fruit that is sometimes referred to as a horse, apple, or monkey ball. Seth, do you have this one right?

[Seth]

I think so, but maybe not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we ought to fill the time

[Randall Williams]

here, drag this out for more ad rolls.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth, tell us about a bad day of boat ownership. The worst day of boat ownership that you've had. Just so we know it's all not cotton candy and rainbows.

[Seth]

Trying to think the worst day of boat ownership I've ever had.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, you'd like, had a tire fall off your trailer motor wouldn't start.

[Seth]

That's Brody.

[Brody Henderson]

Ball bearings go bad miles an hour on. Well, I mean, it's with the boat Seth had that. Seth no longer has.

[Spencer Newharth]

You were going 80 miles an hour and did it just come off? Oh, my goodness.

[Randall Williams]

Single axle?

[Seth]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, that's stop you in a hurry?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Where'd that tire end up going off in the ditch?

[Brody Henderson]

I got it back, actually. It was like the. The damage was minimal.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

Surprise. Anyway, you got me. I'm trying to think of this.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we gotta leave.

[Seth]

Not a lot of.

[Brody Henderson]

How about when you broke down that one?

[Seth]

I just thought of that. We were up in Alaska one time and our motor wouldn't start, and I. I look up and I just see a wall of freaking water coming towards us. And it's getting windy, and we're out there in the freaking great blue ocean.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Seth]

In a deer foot skiff. Yeah. And had to call Steve, and he had come tow. Tow us back.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. You got off.

[Seth]

Were you there, bro? Did you come.

[Brody Henderson]

Did you come out with it? No, but I broke down on that same trip.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, did you?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, we got stranded.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, bad weekend to be a boat owner. Yeah, that time. This tree, which is named after an Oklahoma tribe.

[Brody Henderson]

I can't think of the word.

[Spencer Newharth]

Produces a large fruit.

[Brody Henderson]

Forget it.

[Spencer Newharth]

It is sometimes referred to as a horse, apple, or monke ball. Sarah, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

What is it?

[Phil (Engineer)]

Probably not.

[Spencer Newharth]

No. Alex, do you have this one right? I listed a tribe from Oklahoma. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says oage orange. Sarah Senica Randall, oage John. Without an answer. Alex says Comanche. Brody persimmon. The correct answer is Osage orange. I think we'll give it to Randall, right?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Seth]

Yeah. It was close, though.

[Spencer Newharth]

Osage orange lumber is coveted by woodworkers for furniture, kitchenware, and musical instruments. While ancient humans liked it for making bows. Because very few animals take an interest in the fruit, some biologists believe it's an example of anachronism, evolution. This idea says that the animal responsible for spreading Osage oranges is now extinct, in that it may have been a favorite fragment food source for mastodons or ground sloths. A similar theory exists for avocados. Here is a picture of.

[Brody Henderson]

If animals don't like it, why do they call it a horse apple and a monkey ball?

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, maybe horses like it, but they're also not, you know, around since the ice age.

[Brody Henderson]

I point out there's horses around the ice Age.

[Randall Williams]

And the Nukem family in general.

[Spencer Newharth]

And the Newcombe. Yeah. For perspective, if you're watching this on YouTube, those Osage oranges are like baseball to softball size. Those are big old fruits that are made on these.

[Randall Williams]

You can huck those things.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 4. The topic is conservation. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats. Our players are stumped. This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats. Seth, did you just come up with the correct answer?

[Seth]

No. I don't know. First thing that popped in my head.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Seth]

I don't even know if it's an island nation.

[Spencer Newharth]

We are on four.

[Seth]

I noticed this during the news show last week, and I'm looking around the room at, like, Seth, Randall and Brody. It was probably a mistake to paint the walls of this room a color that's just a couple of shades off from a very popular first light.

[Randall Williams]

I'll note. I didn't vote for this color.

[Spencer Newharth]

What did you vote for?

[Randall Williams]

I don't remember. Just not this. I remember losing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve asked for my input, but I didn't feel like he actually wanted my input.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's kind of what he was

[Spencer Newharth]

just hoping that I would say. His answer.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's where I was.

[Spencer Newharth]

This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

I got an answer that makes sense. That's all I can say.

[Spencer Newharth]

Two players have answers that they feel okay about. This is question four.

[Randall Williams]

Jeez, it's tough.

[Spencer Newharth]

This island nation, whose name you might see in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crested iguanas and monkey faced fruit bats. The gas station cooler is catching.

[Phil (Engineer)]

It's throwing me off.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, you could just throw that out of the question. If you'd like.

[Brody Henderson]

I got at.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Brody Henderson]

If I got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right. Brody thinks that's an important part of the question.

[Seth]

Yeah, if I got it. That's the only. The only way I got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tik tok.

[Brody Henderson]

Tik tok.

[Seth]

It's not Bush Light. I rolled that out.

[Randall Williams]

It's not Snapple.

[Phil (Engineer)]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

The Bush Nation. Randall,

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

you're waiting on me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, I'm gonna ask that you either fill the airwaves with something interesting or write down an answer.

[Randall Williams]

I hosted some trivia this past weekend.

[Seth]

Oh, okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

This is a good start. Tell us about it.

[Randall Williams]

At an ELR match in. In southeastern Wyoming. 20 questions. We went to a tiebreaker.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

I was thinking about sharing the questions with everybody to see how you guys scored the two. The two teams that went to the tiebreaker each had 18 out of 20 correct.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

I felt good about that.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know, that's. That's a perfect round of tribute.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Shout out. Shout out.

[Brody Henderson]

Jose, were they all ELR related questions?

[Randall Williams]

They were all ballistics and rifle related questions. And I had a gentleman come up to me afterwards who had written a book on ballistics, and he said he really enjoyed the trivia and he thought it was well done.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's great. Now you can. You've banked some questions for a future episode.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know. I think we had stuff too hard.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Like rank these powders by burn rate.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Things of that nature.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. With that little filler content. Did you come up with an answer, Randall? No. This island nation, whose name is in a gas station cooler, is home to endangered crusted iguanas and monkey faced.

[Randall Williams]

Kind of unfair that I have to fill the air.

[Seth]

This might be the record longest we've gone.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your ant.

[Randall Williams]

Crazy

[Seth]

Fuji.

[Spencer Newharth]

We got Sarah without an answer. Randall without an answer. Brody says water. The correct answer is Fiji.

[Seth]

Is it Fiji? Are we gonna. Are we giving it to Seth?

[Spencer Newharth]

What do we think of giving it? He wrote down the apple.

[Seth]

Is that an apple?

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll give it to him. Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is about two thirds the size of Hawaii. The islands are home to some species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else. In true to its name, Fiji water comes from an aquifer on Fiji's biggest island. If you'd asked me beforehand, like, does Fiji water come from Fiji? I'd be like, not a chance. Yeah, it actually does. So I'm very impressed.

[Randall Williams]

That's wild.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question five, the topic Is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Leland Hart for sending this great question. Leland is going to get a 151st light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, send your question to trivia atthe meat eater.com

[Seth]

I'm have to start paying Leland a salary.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I've heard that name a lot.

[Brody Henderson]

Leland Hart. That's. He needs an esquire behind his. It's like a. That's like that kind of southern lawyer.

[Spencer Newharth]

He was one of our best attendees to media radio Live, RIP and he sends me plenty of trivia questions. Here is his listener question of the week. An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. An outside skirt steak comes from this five letter muscle. Randall playing some hangman, but he doesn't seem to like what he wrote down.

[Brody Henderson]

I got nine letters. I ain't messing around.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Fiji water. Brody thinks he has it.

[Brody Henderson]

I don't know. I got nine letters.

[Spencer Newharth]

An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter mussel. Next time I need to buy a bottle of water, I'm gonna get Fiji just to see if I can taste.

[Phil (Engineer)]

It's pretty good. Bottled water.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are you a purist when it comes to bottled water? Can you like, could we do a Pepsi challenge where you're blindfolded and you drink Dasani vs smart water? And the difference.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I could probably tell the difference between good and bad. And I have an idea of what brands are good and which ones are bad.

[Spencer Newharth]

Fiji falls on the good side of that spot.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Fiji falls on the good side. Dasani falls on the bad side.

[Seth]

Amen.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Pretty. That's terrible water. But I tend to. I don't buy bottled water. It's more of a principal thing.

[Spencer Newharth]

An outside skirt steak comes from this nine letter muscle. Phil, do you have bottled water? Takes.

[Seth]

Not at all. Except that Dasani is bad. That's the one. Sort of like Sarah. It's like good and bad. Dasani's the one where I'm like, this is just. This is a tier below, you know,

[Phil (Engineer)]

like Ice Mountain is a really good one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Ice Mountain is the one. Don't they have like nine names depending on where you go?

[Phil (Engineer)]

Yeah, it's a regional tier.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's like Deer park if you're in New York. And it's Ice Moun here.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Up in the Northeast Glacier if you're over here.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Poland Spring is good. Poland Springs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sarah, do you have this one right?

[Phil (Engineer)]

I have a nine Letter mussel that geographically makes sense.

[Brody Henderson]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

An outside skirt state comes from this nine letter mussel.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I don't know if cows have this muscle.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth, without an answer. Sarah says trap. Trapezius.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Trapezius.

[Spencer Newharth]

Trapezius. Randall, quadricep. John, without an answer. Alex, without an answer. Brody says diaphragm. Brody. Got it. Ah, the correct answer. Diaphragm.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I. I've heard. I've heard it called a hanger steak.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of hanging.

[Seth]

I wrote down diaphragm where I was like.

[Brody Henderson]

But I don't even know that's in. Two things are the same, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you.

[Seth]

If you listen to. Well, by the time this airs Monday's episode of the Meat Eater podcast, this is discussed.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. The skirt steak is also known as the Philadelphia steak or fajita steak. The outside skirt comes from the diaphragm, while the inside skirt comes from the transversus abdominis. It is a flat, tough cut of meat with a thick grain. For more on skirt steaks, go watch Yanni's video on Themeater.com called How to prepare a Venison skirt steak.

[Brody Henderson]

What about hanger steak?

[Seth]

Well, yeah, so that's what. That's what we discussed. The hanger steak is known in. It's like the legs of the diaphragm. So it's part of that muscle, but it's just kind of like some of the. The outside.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good clarity.

[Phil (Engineer)]

That's an underrated cut.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, scoreboard update.

[Seth]

Oh, yes. It's that time, isn't it? Here we are at halftime. Everyone's on the board. John and Alex have one point a piece. Sarah and Randall are up next with two points. Seth has three. And in first place, it's Brody Henderson. He's got four points.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, you had diaphragm.

[Seth]

Yeah, I wrote it down.

[Randall Williams]

I had diaphragm too.

[Spencer Newharth]

And I was like, that's inside. No, I had.

[Randall Williams]

I had diaphragm too. When I was just thinking, I convinced myself that hanger steak and a skirt steak weren't the same thing.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Well, they're not. Yeah, they're just like, different.

[Randall Williams]

So I was right. So I was right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

Iconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink. It is Mountain Dew in American original. From the beginnings in the foothills of Tennessee to the biggest Fourth of July yet, the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew is the perfect companion to your American summer adventures. No matter where you go or who you are with Bring Mountain Dew to amplify Your celebration. When I was in college, Dew was the daytime beverage of choice for all things summer. Rope swings into the river, jumping off bridges into the river, tubing the river, fishing the river, riding snowboards down the Lake Michigan sand dunes, right out into the waves and shooting off fireworks at night. You name it, we were powered by Dew. It's been tasting great since 48. That's right. Two brothers created Mountain Dew in the foothills of Tennessee back in 1948. The refreshing citrus kick is perfect for summer and 4th of July at the grill on the beach or right in the living room. Enjoy the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew in American Original. Tasting great since 48. Look for American Dew limited time packaging or find it in stores near you@mountain Dew.com that is Mountain Dew.com 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Question 6. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Micah Greenway. This hunter carried a Holland in Holland royal double rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. Randall, quick to answer this one, this hunter carried a Holland and Holland royal double rifle, which became known as the big stick.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, can you turn the camera off me real quick?

[Seth]

Are you serious?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I'm gonna take my hoodie off and I'm gonna pull it over my head and I'm gonna lift my shirt up.

[Seth]

It's on Spencer. So, Spencer, you make some expressions based on what you see.

[Brody Henderson]

I will.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll observe. Yeah. No skin showed that it was perfectly acceptable.

[Randall Williams]

Just in case. I just thought I wanted to be Very conservative there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, we don't want to call any

[Randall Williams]

attention to that clothing today. So I didn't know it stick together.

[Spencer Newharth]

This hunter carried a Holland and Holland Royal double rifle which became known as the Big stick. And Randall is very confident that he has this one right. Alex, do you have this one right?

[Randall Williams]

No, I'm coming from behind now. So I. I'm just. It's not that I'm confident.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

It's that I'm at ease. It's not a lot of pressure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Alex and I have the same uniform on today. Black shirt and green first light hat. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Brody Henderson]

I don't know. I'll justify my answer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. This hunter carried an H H Royal double rifle, which became known as the Big Stick. Is everybody ready?

[Seth]

Sure.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Go for it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth and Sarah without an answer. Randall says, T.R. john. Teddy Roosevelt. Alex. Teddy Roosevelt. Brody. Roosevelt. They got it. The correct answer is Teddy Roosevelt.

[Randall Williams]

Shout out Big John.

[Seth]

They say, why didn't I think him

[Phil (Engineer)]

softly and carry a big stick? They're just referring to.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll tell you about the H H Royal double rifle was chambered in 500, 450. Its nickname was inspired by his Big stick diplomacy, which derived from his quote, speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far. TR Used the gun on an African safari where he killed dangerous game, including eight elephants. Here is a picture of TR with that big stick and a rhino he killed and a. What are those called? Buzzards. No. Is that what it is? No, no.

[Brody Henderson]

It's some kind of bustard crane. It's like a stork or a crane. Yeah, some like long legged Randall, you got. How come you haven't gotten into the double big game rifles?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I'd love to. I mean that's a. It's not really a working man's rifle.

[Brody Henderson]

Cabela carry that around the mountains for elk.

[Randall Williams]

Cabela's used to sell a side by side. I don't know, they might still. But I remember as a child really wanting a side by side black powder. They called it like the Kodiak Double express or something. And you could get it, I believe you could get it in. 72 caliber side by side black powder.

[Brody Henderson]

20 pounds.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, but could you imagine that bird is. It's a Cordy bustard, which is Africa's largest flying bird.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you nailed it.

[Spencer Newharth]

The bustard and the big stick diplomacy. I think that was about when he was discussing war with other nations that you come ready to negotiate and you just like Are very pragmatic and if things don't go your way, then you have the big stick that you can swing. Question 7. The topic is wildlife. This 10 letter word is defined as quote, the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. This 10 letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. Brody locks in his answer. Whiteboard is down. Sarah doing some counting. Randall looking at the answer, looking at the question, looking back at the answer. Do you like what you have, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

No, I have nine letters.

[Spencer Newharth]

Uh oh.

[Brody Henderson]

Just throw an extra one in there. You've got it right.

[Seth]

Just put an E at the end I think so.

[Spencer Newharth]

This ten letter word is defined as the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. The answer is now entered Randall's brain.

[Randall Williams]

I just needed a different form of the same word.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh wow.

[Brody Henderson]

You know, we should have a spelling bee sometime.

[Seth]

Leave me out.

[Spencer Newharth]

That could be fun.

[Seth]

I could compete.

[Spencer Newharth]

I've discussed this exact thing with Phil on a future concept where we do just a product that is strictly video rather than video and audio and a spelling bee would potentially be part of that.

[Phil (Engineer)]

So if I have a different form of the word that doesn't have 10 letters.

[Spencer Newharth]

Not gonna give you any hints. You need to have a 10 letter word. 10 letter word that means the act of killing hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy.

[Randall Williams]

You'll get there. I wish it was nine.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like it should be nine.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Should be nine.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth is tapped out on this one. Or he's already moved on to the next question.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Yeah, like 12.

[Seth]

I think I was good for about three questions being right and I used

[Spencer Newharth]

them all up already. Okay.

[Randall Williams]

I think I wrote a middle school

[Spencer Newharth]

report on this word about why it

[Randall Williams]

is okay to do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. I would like to hear a middle schooler's perspective way before I ever even understood what it actually was. Seth is maybe coming up. Did it just hit you Seth, as to what it could be? Is everybody ready?

[Seth]

I'm one letter too long now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Uh oh, okay. No one else had that problem. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says putting down.

[Phil (Engineer)]

There it is.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sarah euthanized. Randall euthanasia. John euthanized. Alex euthanized. Brody euthanasia. The correct answer is euthanasia. What do we think about youth tensed? Yeah, yeah. They did the past. It was euthanized. Yeah.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Seth]

You have to remind me which people

[Spencer Newharth]

but then euthanized should also.

[Seth]

What's that?

[Spencer Newharth]

Euthanize?

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil (Engineer)]

It's the spirit of the spirit of the question. We got the spirit.

[Seth]

Yeah. You know, it's like putting them down.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's estimated that about 600000 shelter animals were euthanized in 2024. As for wildlife, 2022 data shows that 400, 000 wild animals were intentionally killed by the USDA that year. That includes 56,000 coyotes, 26,000 beavers, 2,000 foxes, 500 bobcats, 500 black be, 200 mountain lions, and 7 grizzlies.

[Brody Henderson]

That's not youth. And they're not killing animals that were hopelessly sick or injured. They're. They're killing vermin.

[Spencer Newharth]

I mean, I think you could have a different. A different definition of euthanized. That just means like simply they ain't euthanizing coyotes, dude. Yeah, that's not euthanasia.

[Brody Henderson]

They're like eliminating coyotes because they don't want them around or they're.

[Randall Williams]

They count animals caught in traps.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, I'd accept that. That argument. I feel like it's just like.

[Randall Williams]

I don't think it's your fault, Spencer. I bet you found that somewhere and that's how it was worded.

[Phil (Engineer)]

The person who told you that.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're on to question.

[Randall Williams]

Trust me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Topic is gear. This next great question is via Charlie McDonald. This brand's breathable fabric which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through was invented in night 1969.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I needed a win.

[Spencer Newharth]

John, you better not get this.

[Seth]

Yeah, store boy. I got this one. I got this one.

[Brody Henderson]

Oh, wait. I just.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. This brand's breathable fabric which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through was invented in 1969. Okay, some quick answers and then some changed answers.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Well, you're asking about the brand.

[Brody Henderson]

Yeah, I'm unclear on what we're looking for.

[Spencer Newharth]

The brand. Okay. This brand's breathable fabric which blocks liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through.

[Seth]

So if you put the fabric down, you're wrong.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Put down the brand that made the fabric. Well, they're kind of the same, aren't they?

[Seth]

The brand Spencer looks at it specifically.

[Randall Williams]

The brand and the company, I think are two different things.

[Spencer Newharth]

This brand's breathable fabric, which is how I. Liquids while allowing water vapor to pass through was invented in 1969. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Gore Sarah W. L. Gore Randall. Gore Tex W.L. gore W.L. gore Tex John Gore, Alex Gore Tex Brody Gore. The correct answer is Gore Tex will give you the variation.

[Phil (Engineer)]

That's not the brand, that's the fabric.

[Spencer Newharth]

Gore Tex is the brand, I believe. And I think they've got like Gore's

[Randall Williams]

the brand, Gore is the company. But it's branded with gorgeous.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh man. Any, any version of Gore that you said the WL Gore is the Gore Tex. Gore Tex stings.

[Brody Henderson]

Man, I'm getting tired.

[Spencer Newharth]

Gore Tex was created when Bob Gore realized he could stretch pfte rods to make a microporous fabric. The first commercial products to use it were tents and jackets. Now you'll find it across the outdoor industry in rain gear, boots and gloves from Adidas to Patagonia.

[Randall Williams]

It's like if you had a question about Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, kfc and someone said yum brands, brands like. I would say Yum Brands is not the brand, even though the name makes it even more confusing. Now, I would say the brand is still Taco Bell.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who else rolls up under that conglomerate?

[Randall Williams]

I think that's just it.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's just those three.

[Randall Williams]

That's why you get this. Well, I don't know if that's still a thing, but it used to get sweet like combos.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh well, sometimes you've got the Taco Bell pizza Bozeman here with a W. Taco Bell.

[Randall Williams]

I think KFC was a yum brand.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, we have a W. Kfc. That's.

[Randall Williams]

Somebody's gonna. Somebody's gonna destroy me in the comments.

[Seth]

Long John Silver's too, in a W. That sounds familiar.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's not what we have in Bozeman.

[Randall Williams]

Red Lobster, stat.

[Phil (Engineer)]

It's not.

[Spencer Newharth]

We have two questions left. Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

[Seth]

Oh, well, it's going to be tough for anyone to catch. Brody, who's currently in first place, seven points. He's two points ahead of the second place contestant, Randall Williams, who did come back. He's got five. And then Seth, Sarah, Alex at four points, John has three.

[Randall Williams]

I don't even feel good.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's obviously the most points I've ever had in trivia.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I was about to say, no offense, but it's a good performance for you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, two questions left to topple that high score. Alex, question nine. The topic is wildlife. Star nosed, short faced and hairy tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Brody finished his answer before I finished the question. That's probably locked in his victory. Star nosed, short faced and hairy tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Sarah, do you have this one? Right.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Maybe I have an animal that looks like it has a star nose.

[Spencer Newharth]

She's. She's playing for second place. See if she can beat Randall. Star nosed, short faced and hairy tailed are all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. And we'll have some story time with Brody after the answers.

[Brody Henderson]

If I got the answer right.

[Randall Williams]

Story time with Brody. Can we clip that? Hold on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Back in my day.

[Brody Henderson]

It is one of those. Back in my day.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, great. Alex. John. Do you boys have an answer?

[Randall Williams]

Come on, John. Store boys are counting on you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, well, we got another store boy.

[Brody Henderson]

I saw my bear rug yet?

[Spencer Newharth]

No, but it's hanging in the common area. It's first thing you see when you walk through the door. Now after our renovations and yeah, the

[Randall Williams]

next thing you see is that beautiful nude 380 square feet of floor space. That's right.

[Spencer Newharth]

I haven't seen the updated story yet. If you meter flagship store since our opening in 2024 and coming down for

[Seth]

a brand new look.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, come on down. And the wall that was the TV was on has been pushed back. We took out that whole back room which was our back stock and added in our 380 inch.

[Seth]

Yeah, that square feet.

[Randall Williams]

That area where you just go smash pizzas and beers. Yeah, store boy.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's where they do this. But you can still do that.

[Seth]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where do we smash beers and pizzas now? Downstairs.

[Spencer Newharth]

You could do it downstairs, but it's a little roomier now.

[Brody Henderson]

There on his way home from here.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's going there today.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I got today.

[Spencer Newharth]

One more time. Star nosed, short faced and hairy tail. They're all species of this animal that primarily feeds on worms. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth mole. Sarah mole. Randall mole. Store boy.

[Randall Williams]

John without an Applebee's. What is that?

[Brody Henderson]

Says armadillo.

[Spencer Newharth]

Alex says armadillo. Brody says mole. The correct answer is mole. Moles are subterranean animals, meaning they spend most of their life underground. Although landscapers and gardeners hate them, they provide soil aeration and eat pests that feed on roots. Some moles have toxic saliva that paralyzes worms, which allows them to store their still living prey for later consumption. Researchers have discovered mole food stashes with more than a thousand worms. Wow. We are now looking at the star faced, that is, excuse me, the star nosed mole, which is native to the eastern United States. You look at that thing, you're like, certainly that lives in Asia or South America, but nope, right here in the lower 48.

[Brody Henderson]

When I. When I was in high school and early college I worked on a golf course. Lands on the grounds.

[Spencer Newharth]

Crew guys especially hate those boys.

[Brody Henderson]

The.

[Seth]

The.

[Brody Henderson]

The or boys that own the course. They did not like moles because they would mess up teas and greens real bad. So we had stomp them whenever we saw them. And you would bring them back at the end. You bring your mole kill back at the end of the day and they'd hand out bounties. It was a dollar a mole.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Wow.

[Brody Henderson]

Which when you were making five bucks an hour, you know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Brody Henderson]

The.

[Randall Williams]

The snack bar at the country club in the 60s probably you get a lot with a dollar.

[Spencer Newharth]

I imagine they didn't. They weren't able to escape real easy when a boot was coming out. No.

[Brody Henderson]

No, they're not real fast.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Okay. Do you know what kind of moles you were. You were killing it was that okay. The star knows.

[Randall Williams]

I'm glad you did that. That's a horrifying animal.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, here's the correct answer review so far. 1, was endangered. 2. Borax.

[Seth]

3.

[Spencer Newharth]

Osage Orange.

[Seth]

4.

[Spencer Newharth]

Fiji. 5. Diaphragm. 6. Teddy Roose. 7. Euthanasia. 8. Gore Tex. 9, mole fill. Scoreboard update. Oh, yeah, sorry.

[Seth]

Here we are. You could say Brody's practicing safe sex because he just wrapped it up

[Spencer Newharth]

and

[Seth]

he secured the victory.

[Spencer Newharth]

There's a new one.

[Seth]

I was sitting on it for about 45 seconds. I was really proud of it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Glad you got a chance to use that.

[Brody Henderson]

Thank you.

[Spencer Newharth]

We really lacking a signature moment for episode Whatever this is. Yeah, Bill just gave it to us. Here's question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Thomas Nethercott. GIS stands for Blank Blank system.

[Seth]

I always forget this.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think I got it though. GIS stands for Blank Blank system.

[Randall Williams]

And this is woodsmanship.

[Spencer Newharth]

Woodsmanship, yeah. Because if you got woodsmanship, you don't need this.

[Seth]

That's why. I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Virgil, he'll learn to navigate by the stars.

[Seth]

That's right. Sights and smells.

[Spencer Newharth]

Blank blank system.

[Randall Williams]

Just like a star nosed mole.

[Seth]

Daddy, why does Uncle Randall smell like hot dogs?

[Randall Williams]

I don't think I smell like hot dogs. I think I smell like lighter fluid.

[Brody Henderson]

Reeks of hot dog.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought the primary smell in the ops today was onions, so.

[Seth]

That's because Randall's burping them up.

[Phil (Engineer)]

No, there was a really good onion. Onion scene that I witnessed.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh yeah, I did chop closing. Oh, okay.

[Randall Williams]

I was crying.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. A lot of competing odors happening in the office today.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I think we just cut that just to the onion chopping. That would be the best thing I've done as a company.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Just keep open flames away from Randall.

[Seth]

For the next.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall Williams chopping an onion.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Alex, I mean, do you disagree with what. How good my onion chopping scene was?

[Spencer Newharth]

I still taste them in my mouth. We've sent it to the. The Emmy.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Coordinators.

[Randall Williams]

Alex got a couple dogs. No one's saying he stinks.

[Spencer Newharth]

We've got a real doozy of a hot dog making video next Wednesday. Okay. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

It should be at least 19 to 23 seconds long.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very emotional, impactful.

[Randall Williams]

I set it up greatly. I said, I looked at the camera with my ingredients. I said, I don't think I need to explain what we're doing here. We just proceed to cook.

[Spencer Newharth]

We should. We should have done it with like the whose line is it anyway Thing where someone has their hands tied behind their back and then the other person stands behind them and they're the ones who are.

[Randall Williams]

Let's reshoot the whole thing.

[Spencer Newharth]

So we're counting on Randall's eyes and then someone else, his arms reaching around him to prepare the hot dog.

[Randall Williams]

That's actually. That would.

[Spencer Newharth]

And then you feed yourself the hot dog as well.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, let's cut all this out. That's a great idea for content.

[Seth]

Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

That always came at the end of the show, right? I imagine you love to.

[Seth]

Yeah. Once they smear whipped cream and peanut butter all over each other, they had kind of had to end the show.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. We'll take that idea down to the big content furnace and shovel it in there and keep the. Keep the coals going.

[Spencer Newharth]

GIS stands for Blank Blank system. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[Seth]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Virgil's dad says geographical blank system. Sarah, Global information. Randall. Geo. What's that say? Geospatial information. John. Geographic image.

[Phil (Engineer)]

I think you're right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Global Imperial. Brody Global Information. The correct answer is geographic information. Did anybody have that right? I had image. Yeah. Oh, okay. Nobody.

[Randall Williams]

What a bummer of an episode.

[Spencer Newharth]

Zero percenter that we have.

[Randall Williams]

Shut it down, Phil, go ahead and shut it down.

[Spencer Newharth]

GIS is a computer system that captures, stores and displays geographic information. It allows users to create interactive maps to analyze patterns and solve complex location based issues. While some use it to find the best path for a road, others use it to look for wallows for rutting elk. That makes Brody our winner today with eight correct answers. Brody, what are you gonna do with that $500?

[Brody Henderson]

Nobody ever claps when I win.

[Randall Williams]

They just did a half hearted clap.

[Brody Henderson]

What more do you want? I just. Did you guys get Montana Outdoors magazine, the one at fwp?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yes, I have some years. I don't think I have it right now.

[Brody Henderson]

You should get if all most state agencies have a magazine like that. Anyway, I just got the new one recently and there's an article, article in there about cottonwoods and like disappearing like cottonwood habitats kind of disappearing in Montana in places. And long story short, I'm gonna donate the money to Friends of the Missouri River Breaks because they're doing some cottonwood restoration stuff along the Missouri River.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's great. This part of the world likes the cottonwoods. We had the tree champion episode on Mediator radio one day and they have a record breaking cottonwood, the biggest one in the world in Nebraska. And I think there's a different species of cottonwood here in Montana that holds the champion tree. Brody sending donating to Friends of the Missouri Breaks. Is that right?

[Brody Henderson]

Missouri river breaks?

[Spencer Newharth]

Join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show conservation always wins.

[Randall Williams]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Phil (Engineer)]

Thank you, Spencer.

[Brody Henderson]

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