[Spencer Newarth]

It's a me podcast. 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, Brody, Nate, Max and Alex. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters 4 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're starting today's show with a mailbag question. You can send your questions for the crew to Trivia atthemeedeater.com with the subject line mailbag. This is something I've gotten from about 10 folks, including our friend Lake Pickle. The specific email I'm reading though comes from Dan Cunningham. He says, have you heard the new Luke Bryan? So, about hunting. Do you think it dethrones his other song as the worst hunting song of all time? Yes, if you're not a longtime listener of the show. Back in 2022 I had a trivia question about Luke Bryan's song from 2009 called Drinking Beer and Wasting Bullets. And on that episode, I declared it to be the worst haunting song ever made.

[Randall]

I don't think I know that one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll read you some of the lyrics in a second here. But a couple weeks ago, Luke Bryant came out with a new song that is taking the Internet and the outdoor community by storm. Are you guys familiar? Have you heard it?

[Randall]

No. There's a lot of, like, speculation that it's all just AI written.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, we will get to that as well. The title of the song. You guys are gonna love this. It's Fish Hunt Golf drink. And for copyright reasons, I can't play it for you, but we have the next best thing.

[Giannis]

Nice.

[Spencer Newarth]

And that is karaoke champion legend king Phil Taylo going to do a. I

[Randall]

gotta get my phone out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Take it away.

[Giannis]

I gotta put both headphones.

[Randall]

5, 6, 7, 8.

[Max]

If it wasn't for the tax man

[Phil Taylor]

Wasn't for the bills

[Spencer Newarth]

if it wasn't

[Phil Taylor]

for the traffic in my windshield if it wasn't always somewhere to be yeah and my life was really up to

[Nate]

me Stomp those shit kickers, Phil.

[Max]

If I could have it my own

[Phil Taylor]

way, you know Let me tell you how every day would go. Wake up coffee, camo climb tree, wet line 18 fish hunt, golf, drink A

[Spencer Newarth]

fall spring all summer long I'll be

[Phil Taylor]

living it up and living it on a country boys dream Fish hunt, golf drink.

[Randall]

Nice work.

[Nate]

I especially like the look on Phil's face while he was singing that.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was special. Do you?

[Giannis]

Do you. Does it feel like you just had a drink? Well, the fact slightly diminished intellectually.

[Phil Taylor]

For a peek behind the curtain, Spencer slacked me this about an hour ago and I said, yeah, don't worry, Trivia is not for two hours. I'll get to it when I get to it.

[Giannis]

Nice.

[Phil Taylor]

And then I got a text from Randall 15 minutes after trivia was supposed to start saying, phil, where are you? It's time to record trivia. And so I raced down here, listened to the song twice, and then did that. So I'm so sorry.

[Spencer Newarth]

That is how deep the pool of talent is on Phil Taylor. He just needed 15 minutes to come up with that trick.

[Max]

It's incredible. If I could do that once in my life, I would consider myself a.

[Phil Taylor]

I love how much you think that. I just have a deep well of talent that doesn't exist. But I'm going to keep milking.

[Max]

Does anybody disagree? Oh, no.

[Nate]

I'll tell you what it doesn't say much for what's his Luke Bryan for his well of talent.

[Max]

I want to know. I don't know anything about Luke Bryant. I've never like chosen to listen to Luke Bryan. Is anybody in this room like Luke Bryant in college?

[Spencer Newarth]

I went to multiple Luke Bryant concerts. A big supporter. But like, you know, he makes music for a college kid who likes to drink and haunt and golf.

[Max]

That was you?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Giannis]

Does he also have the song about getting upwind of a buck?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, okay, so the song that we are going to be comparing that to is Drinking Beer and Wasting bullets again from 2009. In that song he talks about how he just drank a 12 pack and he's waiting on a deer and he's, you know, just wasting bullets and he's shooting 100 grain 30 odd 6 which does not exist anywhere in the world. So he must have. He's actually such a pure outdoorsman that he, he hand loaded his hundred grain 30 odd six bullets.

[Max]

What is the smallest 30 cal you can get? At least 125.

[Spencer Newarth]

125 grain for a 36 factory or just, just a bullet.

[Nate]

But there's lighter 110 I think I've seen.

[Giannis]

Phil, can we get on that?

[Randall]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

So as Max pointed out, folks have accused Luke Bryan of using AI to write that song. Well, I took that and I fed it to an AI detector which is, you know, the same thing like a college professor would use to see what it would say. It told me that Those lyrics are 0% AI. So AI is not even capable of coming up with something like that. That is all human skill there. Luke is getting bullied on the Internet quite a bit about this and he has responded on Instagram. Here are some of his clapbacks, as Max calls it. Here's what he says. Well, I'm learning that no one wants to have fun anymore. I choose to have a damn blast. Either come along or go be blah. Here was another comment that he was replying to someone who was critical. He says, who are you? Chill on the add. And then one more comment. It's called the fun song. Just listen and have fun. Go get on a boat. Quit scrolling on your phone all day. So that is what Luke that's good advice.

[Giannis]

Go get on a boat.

[Nate]

Except his, his livelihood depends on people scrolling on a phone.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. As the host of American Idol where he performed this song I think last week as well.

[Giannis]

Chill out on the Adderall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Chill out on the Adderall. That's a good podcast. That was some good, good Feedback from him. I am not going to say this is worse, though, than the Drinking Beer Wasting bullet song from 2009. You'll have to go find that on YouTube and compare it to Phil's rendition.

[Randall]

Doesn't he have a song?

[Nate]

Why did he have to put the golf.

[Giannis]

I hate that we're starting out so

[Spencer Newarth]

negative this episode because it's a country boy's dream.

[Randall]

Doesn't he have a song called, like, Hunting, Fishing, Loving Every Day?

[Spencer Newarth]

He does have that.

[Randall]

Yeah, he's got that.

[Spencer Newarth]

If you were to do a top five Worst Hunting and Fishing songs of all time, he might just make a clean sweep.

[Nate]

Oh, who sings a song about ticks? That's him.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brad Paisley has a song about checking for ticks. That's a good one. Getting mud on the tires. Yeah. Yep. All of these songs would sound like Bo Burnham. He's a comedian who does music. He did a country satirical song that somehow sounded just like all of these real country songs. That's. That's how accurate it was. Phil, you big Bo Burnham fan, right?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah. I loved I Love Bo Burn. I thought Inside was incredible. That was his Covid project.

[Spencer Newarth]

Very good stuff. All right, no stats or housekeeping on this episode. 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.

[Ad Announcer]

Just tend to win everything.

[Spencer Newarth]

Game on, suckers. Question 1. The topic is wildlife. As always, this will be multiple choice. According to Texas A and M University, which of these animals is fastest? Is it a squirrel, moose, jackrabbit, or bison? Hold up.

[Alex]

I got a lot of issues with this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. You want specific species, like, is it over what?

[Alex]

Over what interval?

[Spencer Newarth]

Just the fastest top speed that they can achieve.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Giannis]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to Texas A and M, which of these animals is Dispenser. No, we're now looking at me. Is it a squirrel, a moose, a jackrabbit, or a bison?

[Randall]

This is tricky.

[Spencer Newarth]

Which of those four animals is the fastest? Later on in the bridge of that song of Luke Bryan's new Fish Hunt, Golf drink. He says a little chip, sip, rip a couple lips. Which food plot am I gonna sit? That's good wisdom.

[Giannis]

Oh, he means chip like a golf swing.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes. I was thinking, like potato chips.

[Max]

Yeah, that works, too.

[Giannis]

Chip dip. Chewing my lip.

[Spencer Newarth]

You got it. You just came up with another bridge?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to Texas A M, which of these animals is fastest?

[Giannis]

I don't think this one's that hard in a hymnal.

[Spencer Newarth]

Jackrabbit. My lyrics. Yanni is confident. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Let's do it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maxwell says bison. Alex Bison. Randall Jackrabbit. Nate Moose. Giannis Jackrabbit. Brody. Moose.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh.

[Spencer Newarth]

The correct answer is jackrabbit. I think we had Randall and Yanni get that one right.

[Giannis]

Go with what you know.

[Spencer Newarth]

According to Texas A and M, the top speed of a jackrabbit is 40 per hour.

[Giannis]

Oh, my goodness.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's followed by a moose at 40 miles per hour, bison at 35 miles per hour and squirrel at 12 miles per hour. The fastest a human has ever ran is Usain Bolt as 20 at 27.785 miles an hour.

[Randall]

Unreal.

[Spencer Newarth]

45 jackrabbits.

[Nate]

My bird dog ran a jackrabbit down one time over like three or 400 yards, gave it a heart attack and it died.

[Spencer Newarth]

Damn. Fell over dead.

[Randall]

The dog or the jackrabbit?

[Alex]

Jackrabbit.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, question two is the dog.

[Giannis]

This episode would be off to a really nice

[Spencer Newarth]

question to. The topic is fishing. This five letter word is defined as, quote, the length of metal from the hook eye to the point where the hook begins to bend. Max and Randall, let me check and see if it's already locked in. Their answer. Five letter word is defined as the length of.

[Nate]

There's a word in there that you

[Spencer Newarth]

should remove from the hook eye clearer.

[Nate]

But I'm not gonna point. Elaborate.

[Spencer Newarth]

Begins to bend. I think I got this definition from Eagle Claw.

[Giannis]

Oh, great brand.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's why I was just going with a direct quote.

[Giannis]

Eagle Claw.

[Max]

Yeah, I fished a lot of those crappy rigs pre. Pre made leaders. You know the snailed hook.

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Was it.

[Ad Announcer]

Were they.

[Nate]

I guess they were snelled like for like bait fishing.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know.

[Max]

I don't know why, like they were like I would find them like in my grandpa's stash.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's a classic.

[Giannis]

Grandpa tackle boxes love packs of snow.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Max]

But like I don't even know what they were actually for. I mean I would just like fish like a worm break under a bobber.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Max]

Why were they made that way? Like what, what advantage does that give you versus just tying your hook onto the line?

[Spencer Newarth]

Quick rigging.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Wouldn't you put it on a swivel like that little attach and you just sleep the swivel on there.

[Max]

Yeah. Maybe that was it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni's been so distracted. He has a blank whiteboard.

[Nate]

Yeah, I still have some of those snelled hooks. Like I have some right now for sure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Five letter word is defined as the length of metal from the hook eye to the point where the hook. You know what a crappy rig is,

[Nate]

where it's like heavy mono. And then it's got two, like, wire arms.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wire.

[Nate]

You can just loop those snailed hooks onto those things. We use them for perch.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready?

[Giannis]

Just want to do that.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus says shank. Alex without an answer. Randall Shank. Nate Shank.

[Alex]

Complete guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Giannis Shank. Brody Shank. The correct answer is shank. The shank is basically the straight part of the hook. On a standard J hook, shank configurations vary by style, including forged and unforged options, different lengths, unique shapes, and in some cases, barbs that hold bait. And Phil has a diagram for us.

[Randall]

Oh, we don't need.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil's showing you the anatomy of a hook. And there you can see what the shank refers to.

[Giannis]

Brody, was the wording that you changed?

[Nate]

Oh, it said. It was like it had the word point in there, which, like, yeah, initially confused me.

[Spencer Newarth]

I see we are on to question three. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ethan Zonbrecker. Ducks Unlimited says it's thanks to this grain that Stuttgart, Arkansas, is the quote, duck capital of the world. Very good.

[Nate]

What is it called?

[Randall]

Guess what?

[Spencer Newarth]

What?

[Phil Taylor]

You're a duck, dad.

[Randall]

The hen house produce eight ducks. Eight ducklings.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Nate]

They're.

[Randall]

Now they're out there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now they're just swimming around in our pond.

[Randall]

Just little fuzzballs. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

How much did you know leading up to that that you were going to have chicks this year?

[Randall]

Well, I did see her try to, like, hop into the hen house, but she kept on hopping up top. And then later that day, I think Steve texted me and he's like, hey, and hen is in the house.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Randall]

And then, like, she. I kept on looking back, and it was probably over like a two, three week, week period. She was in there on her nest. And then I was texting Nate the whole time. When I was gone, I was like, what's the duck report? Duck report. And then. Yeah, they probably just hashed within the last five days.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

Are you gonna grab one of them and practice diaper changing?

[Alex]

You could raise it alongside your child.

[Spencer Newarth]

Are you more of a father figure, Max, or the landlord, being that you built the duck nest?

[Randall]

I'm a more father figure. Well, no, I didn't know more the landlord sort of landlord.

[Alex]

They're like your trust fund babies.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ducks Unlimited.

[Nate]

Raccoon doesn't get them.

[Randall]

No, I think that Time is past.

[Spencer Newarth]

It says it's thanks to this grain that Stuttgart is at. Stuttgart. Stuttgart, Arkansas is the duck capital of the world. Maxwell flashing his answer.

[Nate]

This is one that I think Max knows.

[Giannis]

I don't know this one I don't know either.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Du says it's thanks to this grain that Stuttgart is the duck capital of the world. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says Rice. Alex Barley. Randall Millet, Nate Rice. Yanni Rice. Brody Rice. The correct answer is rice.

[Alex]

Two for two on guesses.

[Spencer Newarth]

Many ducks, including the majority of North America's pintails, rely on rice fields for wintering habitat. Birds love these flooded fields because they mimic natural wetlands and offer an easily accessible source of high energy food. It's estimated that more than half of the country's acres of rice are located in Arkansas, with another 20% in neighboring states.

[Giannis]

Goodness gracious, that's a lot.

[Spencer Newarth]

Half of the rice comes from dumb. 20 in the neighboring states and I think it's like 20 in California. So it's only a handful of places.

[Randall]

I was gonna say California is another

[Max]

rice heavy state and they also have a lot of good duck hunting.

[Spencer Newarth]

Have you hunted around the duck capital of the world?

[Randall]

Yes. Oh, I not physically hunted, but I filmed.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Are you guys hunting over flooded rice fields?

[Randall]

A couple times we did. Did flooded timber. Yeah. Only a couple times of flooded rice.

[Max]

Drowned in a Can Am bridge, actually.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall]

Sketchy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did it live up to the hype of being the duck capital of the world?

[Randall]

Yeah. No, I mean, it's just a cool area, a lot of history, and you're

[Nate]

just like yeah or no?

[Randall]

Yes.

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's a North Dakota. That's what they do. Yeah. No, you don't want to be.

[Randall]

The town just lives up to the hype and it's. If you're a duck hunter, I would definitely recommend. It's just a cool place. There's a lot of things to do and. Yeah, a lot of waterfall down there.

[Giannis]

God, I love Max.

[Spencer Newarth]

From the duck landlord Maxwell. Question 4 Just loves what he loves.

[Randall]

Duck landlord.

[Spencer Newarth]

Topic is natural natural history. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Andrew Green presenting this great question. Andrew is going to get a 151st light gift card if you want a chance to win the listener question of the week and send your question to trivia theme eater.com this extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time, which is named after its compact muzzle.

[Nate]

Say there is mean Sons of God.

[Spencer Newarth]

This extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time. Which is named after its compact muzzle. I feel like you made this a little too many. Easy context. Too much context. You're gonna make Alex feel better.

[Alex]

But I feel like if you knew it, you would have got it with half the question. If you don't know it, you don't know it.

[Giannis]

That's what I'm screaming.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Max]

Are you doing some painting at home?

[Alex]

Grout, tile, tile work.

[Spencer Newarth]

Ooh, what are we tiling?

[Alex]

Bathroom.

[Nate]

You don't look like your normal, dressed up, kind of put together self today. You look kind of like a.

[Alex]

It's because I've been tiling starting at

[Spencer Newarth]

like 8pm What a combo. Nate's. Nate's wife is a woodworker. And Nate is a tileman.

[Alex]

Yep, got it.

[Max]

All you guys are just cramming before the baby comes.

[Alex]

Yes, sir.

[Max]

Last room.

[Alex]

A seamster.

[Giannis]

You're a seamster.

[Spencer Newarth]

A.

[Alex]

So a sower. Aspiring.

[Nate]

When you find time to make brownies to give to landowners.

[Alex]

Sunday afternoon.

[Nate]

Heard you. I heard you bribe landowners with brownies.

[Alex]

Bribe is a strong word. Encourage. Dude, I just dropped off a bunch of peanut butter pies. Those. Dude, those.

[Max]

Getting.

[Alex]

I had a landowner request it. I was asking for because. Yeah, I whitetail.

[Giannis]

You have a menu?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, when you order girls. Yeah, exactly.

[Alex]

I have whitetail permission. And I went and asked for turkey permission. And he's like, yeah, you can go to hunt turkeys.

[Spencer Newarth]

You think you could bring by one

[Ad Announcer]

of them peanut butter pies?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, sir. Good for you, Nate.

[Alex]

Yeah, man.

[Max]

Well, he's flipping the script. They're coming to him being like, hey, I got this new property. 500 acres, deer and turkey.

[Nate]

You know, if you brought me one of those.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 4. This extinct animal is the largest bear species of all time, which is named after its compact muzzle. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, my God. Maxwell says short snout bear. Alex, without an answer. Randall, short faced bear. Nate, short faced bear. Yanni, short faced. Brody, short faced. The correct answer is short faced. I'm sorry, half point, Phil. No, no point. No such thing.

[Giannis]

All right.

[Max]

It's been there for weeks.

[Giannis]

Spencer asked a lot of you at the outset of this episode.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, I'm pretty worked up about being so late. I'm so sorry.

[Spencer Newarth]

No. The short faced bear went extinct about 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. Its death was primarily driven by climate change, the loss of large prey, and the increased competition with other predators. There were a handful of species and subspecies with a range that stretches from Alaska to Patagonia. The biggest of them could stand 12ft tall and weigh 2,000 pounds, which is 500 pounds heavier than a polar bear. Phil has a diagram for us comparing the short faced bear to a grizzly and a polar bear. And they make a brown bear look small.

[Alex]

Look at the quads on that sucker.

[Spencer Newarth]

They always. Things being like on steroids.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Nate]

We recently. Me and my boys recently watched one of those like docu. Like it's all CGIs, you know, but it's like. And they did some short faced bear stuff.

[Giannis]

Holy cow.

[Nate]

It was good. But like those things are mean, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Scary. Cool. So mean.

[Randall]

That was a good guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, it was based on context clues, but you don't get that point. Question 5. The topic is conservation. The Conservation Law foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number before planting a tree.

[Randall]

What?

[Spencer Newarth]

I think, dude, I know the Conservation Law Foundation. No, I'm changing it.

[Alex]

I know I'm in the same.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's practice to dial this call before you dig phone number.

[Alex]

I think I got it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think planting a tree. So we're looking for what that phone number is.

[Randall]

It's like you gotta. You want the area code or then the next five digits or.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know. There is one right answer and that's all. The Conservation Law foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number.

[Alex]

Not a big yard work guy over there?

[Spencer Newarth]

No.

[Randall]

Were you talking to Randall

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni? Do you have this one right?

[Max]

I have an answer written down that came into mind when I thought about it for a few seconds.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, do you have this one right?

[Alex]

Ah, 50. 50. It's one or the other I hit. I've been digging a whole bunch recently. Another project.

[Randall]

Have you been calling before you dig?

[Alex]

No, should be. If I was, I'd probably know this number.

[Spencer Newarth]

I did have to call them recently and they came out and they marked some lines. I'm good to go. Digging all kinds of holes. The Conservation Law foundation says it's best practice to dial this call before you dig phone number for planting a tree.

[Max]

We planted a couple pears and a couple apples and oh, maybe a chestnut. And it was.

[Nate]

I just found out that Spencer's fixing to be a fruit farmer.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm trying. I'm starting an orchard at my place. I'm now up to 60 trees and shrubs that produce fruit.

[Randall]

Really?

[Giannis]

60?

[Spencer Newarth]

That's all I've done this spring.

[Alex]

That's awesome.

[Randall]

Jeez.

[Alex]

What's your most fruit you're most excited about?

[Spencer Newarth]

Most excited about probably my peach because I Can actually see peaches coming right now. But they also are not super tolerant of bad winters. Like this past winter, you could get a coconut or pineapple to live through what we had here in the valley. But the peach trees, they're like a fringe zone 4 fruit. So we'll see how it does. I thought it took a couple years

[Alex]

to start getting fruit. How'd you get around that?

[Spencer Newarth]

It varies. There's like, some things three years, other ones six years, and you just never

[Randall]

really know how big was it were the trees.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're going to move on here in just a second. But I did everything from bare root, you know, which is like knee high, up to things that are probably, like, 8ft tall. It's just a variety. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus says 4, 1 1. Alex without an answer. Randall says 71 1. Nate, 8, 1 1. Yanni, 4, 1 1. Brody, 1, 800, dig save. We have a correct answer in the room. Come on, Yachty, it's eight, one one.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's go.

[Randall]

Dude, I was so confident in that.

[Giannis]

I thought 411 was like, what is that?

[Spencer Newarth]

What's road conditions? 51 1.

[Nate]

515114 1. Like a directory or something like that.

[Spencer Newarth]

In 2005, the FCC made 811 the universal phone number for regional services that locate underground utilities. It's estimated that there are 20 million miles of buried utilities in the United States, with repairs exceeding $30 billion annually. On average, an underground utility is damaged every six minutes due to a failure to contact 8,1 1.

[Phil Taylor]

Dang. One is a word that's in, like, the. It's like a slang word in, like, the lexicon that means, like, give me the scoop. Give me the.

[Randall]

What's the four, one?

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know where it comes from.

[Spencer Newarth]

Gosh.

[Randall]

Eight, one one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil, halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. Oh, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

At halftime, Alex has zero points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Not even an answer.

[Phil Taylor]

Max has two points. Randall and Brody have three points. And in first place are Nate and Giannis with four points.

[Max]

So anybody's game?

[Giannis]

So what's 1010 2, 2 0? Remember those calling services? It's like a calling. I never really understood what that was.

[Max]

Wasn't that the one that you.

[Spencer Newarth]

That.

[Max]

Wasn't that the way to, like, call back? Maybe.

[Giannis]

Maybe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Seven was to be unanimous or to be unanimous? Yeah, man. Landline days.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Giannis]

Did you just look up 10, 10, 220. And then when we get to the eight question.

[Phil Taylor]

Next scoreboard. Yeah, that's. That's my time to shine.

[Giannis]

Thanks buddy.

Question 6. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Alex Miller. Hall of Fame outfielder Ted Williams, who married his hunting guide's daughter, played his entire career for this team.

[Nate]

Okay.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hall of Fame outfielder Ted Williams, who married his hunting guide's daughter, played his entire career for this team.

[Randall]

It's gotta be something.

[Alex]

Why do you know this?

[Giannis]

My. Well, I think I know it. It would just be my knowledge of Ted Williams and who he is.

[Alex]

Is it because he was on your hometown team?

[Giannis]

No.

[Alex]

Dang it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, okay. There's a hint.

[Giannis]

That would have been a tough.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eliminated one, maybe two. Now you're.

[Alex]

Now it's what, only. Yeah. 30 to go.

[Giannis]

I mean, he.

[Alex]

He predated my love of baseball.

[Giannis]

My love of baseball.

[Spencer Newarth]

Hall of Famer Ted Williams, who married his hunting God's daughter, played his entire career for this team.

[Randall]

Was he right, center, or left?

[Spencer Newarth]

He was a left fielder, I believe.

[Randall]

Okay, I'm changing my answer then.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

10 10, 220 was something you could dial to get around. Like long distance race.

[Giannis]

That's right. Thank you, Phil.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's weird that they would give you these little hacks. Like, here's how you be anonymous. Here's how you get.

[Phil Taylor]

I think it's sort of like. Like a VPN these days. Like, it's legal, but they don't want you.

[Giannis]

Well, no, they had. There were other variations on it, and they would run endless television commercials if you didn't grow up in the golden age of.

[Spencer Newarth]

Of landlines.

[Giannis]

Late 90s. Landlines and phones today were so boring except for the Internet and the apps.

[Spencer Newarth]

I feel like I have just been getting beat over the head with 811 commercials lately just because I'm digging holes and obviously Googling a lot. But I assume you guys, like, get some 811 commercials as well.

[Phil Taylor]

I said hummingbird feeder out loud the other day for the first time in prob. And I immediately got an Instagram ad for having good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready to tell me who Ted Williams played for? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maxwell says Colorado Rockies. Alex says Red Sox. Randall, Red Sox. Nate. Yankees. Yanni. Yankees. Brody. Yankees. The correct answer is the Boston Red Socks, baby. Yeah, Alex and Randall.

[Giannis]

Alex has one for one today.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, technically I am it's. The first one I actually had an answer to. Ted Williams was named the fifth greatest baseball player of all time by ESPN in 2022. He was inducted into the Baseball hall of fame in 1966 in the International Game Fish association hall of fame in 2000. The first of his three wives was the daughter of his Minnesota hunting guide. They had a daughter of their own in 1948, and Williams missed her birth because he was fishing for snook in Florida. He then waited five days before FL Minnesota to meet his newborn, then got back on a plane less than a week after that to return to Florida. He told reporters, quote, this place is too cold for me. And besides, the fishing is great. They got divorced six years later.

[Alex]

Six years.

[Max]

Six years they made it.

[Giannis]

It was harder to get divorced back then.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Phil is now showing us a photo of Ted Williams with a large billfish. We should make love more hunting on

[Giannis]

animals that we harvest. So tasteful.

[Spencer Newarth]

And Ted Williams had his own line of shotguns, rifles, fishing rods that were sold at Sears back in the day. We are now on to question seven Socks. The topic is fishing. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. The room is stumped. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Brody was locked in his answer.

[Max]

Some kind of an outdoor brand, I imagine.

[Spencer Newarth]

Just gonna tell you. The topic is fishing. Oh, no. This Wisconsin brand was founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. We're gonna have a tight game here.

[Alex]

I feel like there's something.

[Randall]

I got a question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, I'm ready.

[Randall]

Remember that fun fact I told you about? Which athlete follows meat at your Instagram? Yes, we. We have to have that question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, I don't know if that'll go over real well. No. Based on the Ted Williams success in the room, two of our six players knowing who he played for, what current Stanley cup contender Nathan McKinnon follows media on Instagram. And that just tickles Maxwell, even though he plays for.

[Max]

Oh, how are your wild doing? They still in it.

[Spencer Newarth]

How are they doing?

[Randall]

I will leave. Oh, no, they lost the abs. Which Spencer's a bandwagon.

[Spencer Newarth]

The good guys. Why do you hate the abs?

[Max]

Because I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, okay.

[Nate]

Late 90s. Man, that was a heated rivalry.

[Max]

Oh, that was a good time.

[Spencer Newarth]

Heated rivalry. Watching lately. This was God that is founded in 1960 and is named after indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Maximus Says Eskimo. Alex says Minn Kota Randall Eskimo Nate Eskimo Yanni Eskimo Brody Eskimo. The correct answer is Eskimo, dude. Eskimo primarily sells ice fishing gear with their first product being an auger that was powered by a car battery. The Eskimo name is an umbrella term that generally refers to two groups of people. The Inuit of Canada, Greenland and northern Alaska, and the Yupik of Siberia and Western Alaska.

[Nate]

I got a great big Eskimo ice fishing tent I'm looking to sell if anyone's interested.

[Spencer Newarth]

You see, those are becoming real popular for hunters who are doing car camping in the fall.

[Nate]

I think I might have retired from ice fishing after this last winter.

[Giannis]

Ice fishing retired from you?

[Spencer Newarth]

That's what it did. It's okay. Question 8. The topic is conservation. This shark is the man behind the proposed 100 billion dollar Utah data center. Shark is in quotation marks. This shark is the man behind the proposed 100 billion dollar Utah data center.

[Max]

I only know we talked about this yesterday, didn' I? Can't remember the guy's name though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, Max, just come up with the San Jose shark.

[Randall]

No, no, I know what shark means in this question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Did anyone here see Marty Supreme?

[Nate]

Oh, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

No, that is a no. You know, that's not a cool thing for anyone in here. Not for anyone in this room.

[Giannis]

You see? Do you see Chalamet shaped his mustache Supreme.

[Ad Announcer]

Everybody's always like, well, nobody in this room.

[Giannis]

Crazy.

[Nate]

Like when a hint is given, it's not just about the people in this room. It's about all the audience fans.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, that's so kind of you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, Phil's gonna.

[Phil Taylor]

You know, you're right. I never think of the fans listening. That's a good perspective.

[Spencer Newarth]

You never think this shark is the man behind the proposed 100 billion dollar Utah.

[Max]

You need a first and last name.

[Spencer Newarth]

Last name would be good enough. I. I'm okay with doing Jeopardy. Rules. In that case, if you just give me the last name, last name will accept that. Now I'm thinking about Phil's. Unless of course it was going to be like one of the Kennedys. That would not fly.

[Nate]

There's a lot of different kinds of Kennedys out there.

[Spencer Newarth]

This shark is the man behind the proposed 100 billion dollar Utah data center. Yanni is stumped even after Phil's hint. Mysterious erasing for Max.

[Randall]

I got one of them.

[Giannis]

It's okay, Max.

[Spencer Newarth]

Have you seen that movie, Phil?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, you give us a review.

[Phil Taylor]

I thought this guy who seems like you know, I'm not going to call him any names. A boner. But he was great in Party Supreme.

[Nate]

Well, yeah. I mean, he just played himself, right?

[Phil Taylor]

He's really good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yes. No.

[Randall]

5.

[Nate]

I told him.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now Alex is going to win the damn game. What's up, Alex? Does a nickname count? You know what, Alex for you. If you give us the nickname just for you, we'll accept that. Yep.

[Alex]

I don't think I have this.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's not because I like you. It's not because you're a nice guy. It's because we respect the troops around here. And Memorial Day is coming up. I am losing this game no matter if you give us the nickname. That's probably even harder to come up with. Thanks, Phil. His actual name.

[Phil Taylor]

Name anytime.

[Spencer Newarth]

And thanks Brody, for keeping the wheels turning. Randall, are you have this?

[Giannis]

No, I'm not going to change. I. I like have my answer, but I'm like, is it close to this?

[Max]

But everybody.

[Nate]

And you're like, I can't change it now.

[Giannis]

No, I'm. I'm not going to change.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says Mark Cuman. Alex says Cuban. Cuban. Alex says Mr. Wonderful. Randall O'. Leary. Nate. Mark Cuban. Yanni. Without an answer, Brody. Kevin O'. Leary. The correct answer is Kevin O'. Leary. Who has the nickname Mr. Wonderful.

[Randall]

Wow, Alex.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thanks, Brody. What a weird. Did he give himself that nickname? It shouldn't work for him probably. The proposed data center is called the Stratos Hyperscale data center. Its campus will span 40,000 acres, which is 62 square miles, making it the biggest of its kind on the planet. It will solely use twice as much electricity as the rest of the state and consume billions of gallons of water. Scientists predict the campus could create a heat island and raise local temperatures by 2 to 5 degrees during the day and 8 to 12 degrees at night. Wow.

[Nate]

He was a real smug son of a biscuit talking about that thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

And here is a rendering of the proposed campus where that.

[Giannis]

Dad, here's a rendering.

[Spencer Newarth]

You know what that does? That does look like him. And now he's gonna say the picture.

[Randall]

Bald guy.

[Spencer Newarth]

His new thing is he wears jewelry that features like sports cards in it. Like a million dollar Kobe Bryant signed rookie jersey card. Phil, give me a review of that.

[Giannis]

Wasn't directed towards Kobe.

[Spencer Newarth]

Marty supreme. And then a scoreboard update, please.

[Phil Taylor]

It's a descent into hell with the world's worst person. I didn't really buy the ending, but I thought the movie overall was great.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thank you.

[Giannis]

Oh, I thought you Were talking about this episode. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Scoreboard update.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, y. Right, I. I do that, don't I? Here we are. We've got Alex on the board with 2o, Max has three. Nate, Giannis and Brody are all tied up with five. And in first place with six points, Dr. Randall, ready?

[Spencer Newarth]

Come back.

[Nate]

You cut the tension with a knife in here.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 9. The topic is biology. This next great question is via Eric Trumble. This 11 letter word is defined as quote, quote. The intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species.

[Alex]

Oh. Oh, God.

[Spencer Newarth]

This 11 letter word is defined as the intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species. Nate and Brody, got any hints for anyone? I like their answers.

[Ad Announcer]

I know.

[Randall]

What animals do this.

[Spencer Newarth]

What animals do this, Max?

[Randall]

Bears.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay,

[Randall]

those animal.

[Spencer Newarth]

You're right. Oh, dolphins. No, you know what? I'm good. I will list my examples in the flavor text and those are both among my examples. This 11 letter word is defined as the intentional killing of young offspring.

[Alex]

Dolphins. All sorts of stuff.

[Giannis]

Yeah, dolphins.

[Spencer Newarth]

Species stuff. They're killing, they're raping, they're pillaging.

[Alex]

Yeah. Hide your kids. Hide your dolphins.

[Spencer Newarth]

11 letter word. Oh, I like Max's answer.

[Randall]

Sure, that'll work.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eleven letter word. The intentional killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[Max]

I believe so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, we're going to have a tight game going into the final question. Question 10. Is everybody ready?

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max says sacrificing. Alex. Cannibalism. Randall. Infanticide. Nate, Yanni, Brody. Infanticide. The correct answer is infanticide.

[Giannis]

Don't you want to watch

[Spencer Newarth]

if you want to spell that correctly at home? I N, F, A, N T I C, I, D, E. Are we gonna

[Nate]

have our spelling bee derby or spelling. Yeah, spelling bee thing.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's gonna happen, I promise. Infanticide. Surprisingly common across the animal kingdom, with it being done by dolphins, lions, leopards, bears, squirrels, mongooses, frogs, primates, and more. Sometimes it's a measure of population control, so there's less competition for resources. But most often infanticide is practiced by males who want to eliminate other males, and so females are motivated to mate again.

[Alex]

Is there a different word for if they, like, abort a fetus that hasn't been born yet, like, zebras will do that?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know. Probably just abortion.

[Alex]

Still in the. Not infanticide.

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, I think infanticide would have to be like, it's already been born thing is born and then something else is killing it all. Right. Here's a correct answer review so far. 1. Jackrabbit 2. Shank. 3. Rice 4. Short Faced Bear 5. 81 1. 6. Boston Red Sox 7. Eskimo 8. Kevin O'. Leary 9. Infanticide Phil. Scoreboard update.

[Phil Taylor]

Standings remain the same here, I believe. Mostly we've got Nate, Giannis and Brody tied up in second place.

[Nate]

I know.

[Phil Taylor]

Or I guess that wouldn't be tied up in second. Right. How does that work against second?

[Max]

Okay, great.

[Phil Taylor]

They're all tied up in second with six. And Randall is still a point ahead with seven points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 10, topic is cooking.

[Randall]

Hope this is a good one.

[Giannis]

I prefer two point leads. Going to question 10.

[Spencer Newarth]

This inflammatory arthritis used to be called the disease of kings because it was common among well off individuals who eat a lot of red meat.

[Alex]

You got this.

[Giannis]

Am I a King of the Hill fan?

[Spencer Newarth]

No. I didn't know this comes up.

[Max]

Randall.

[Giannis]

It's the whole plot of what I

[Spencer Newarth]

would imagine that it must be. Bill.

[Alex]

Bobby.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bobby. Even better. Okay. This inflammatory arthritis used to be called, quote, the disease of kings because it was common among well off individuals who eat a lot of red meat.

[Alex]

My dad got this bad and it's up there like next to dementia for me.

[Spencer Newarth]

Like you're scared of it.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Alex]

Sucks.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall's also scared because Bobby Hill had it. Yeah, but his 20 minute episode, his

[Giannis]

experience was more light hearted.

[Nate]

Okay, what's the question mean by well off?

[Randall]

I don't think I'm gonna get it.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, I'm not. I'm just trying to give myself having access to resources. That's what a well off individual would

[Max]

be here because it's, you know this

[Spencer Newarth]

word, the disease of kings. I'm sure I do. Is everybody ready?

[Nate]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Max and Alex do not have an answer.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

The rest of the room says gout. They got it. The correct answer, Jackrabbit is gout. Gout causes pain and swelling in your joints, including knees, ankles, elbows and hands, but is most commonly felt in your big toe. Causes include genetics, medication, side effects and diet. Cleveland Clinic says certain foods increase your risk of gout, including game meat, organ meat and seafood. What about booze?

[Nate]

Isn't that a big one?

[Spencer Newarth]

That's what I was just going for. Things relevant to our universe. But it said sugary foods, alco and then. Yeah, the game meat, organ meat and seafood. Randall is our winner today with eight well played answers. He hit the Shelby Index. What are you gonna do with that 500 today?

[Giannis]

Oh, I forgot. That's what happens at this point in the game? It's been so long.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody won the last two episodes.

[Giannis]

Yeah, I wasn't prepped for this.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

You know, I was at the airport the other day on my way back from Florida, which is my new favorite state.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall is a Florida man and there

[Giannis]

was there someone from warriors in quiet waters picking up some folks and meeting them at baggage claim to take them out on their, you know, their service members coming to Bozeman to do some outdoor stuff. And so that's top of mind and why don't we send it their way.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's also this episode will come out the week of Memorial Day. Oh, so well. Well done, Randall. Send his $500. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
