Phelps Game Calls Representative
Check out Phelps new bear cub distress call. Springtime is the right time to use a bear cub in distress sound when bear hunting. Male bears will kill cubs in order to get females to cycle into another breeding opportunity. And the sound of a cub in distress also signals to other male bears that a meal is close and even a possible mate. A bear cub in distress will also get the attention of a female bear to come and investigate to defend a cub dragging any male suitors she has in tow. Not to mention a Cuban. Distress will also call other predators in as they're looking for an easy meal too. Get your own bear cub in distress @Phelps game calls dot com.

Co-host/Moderator
the subject line mailbag if you have a question that you want the crew to answer.
Spencer Newhart
Today's question is from Dylan Cole.
Co-host/Moderator
I think he said in his email. He's 12 years old. He says, does the crew have any bucket list fish? Mine is the tarpon mine is in Dylan's, not Spencer's. Seth, what's, what's a bucket list fish?
Seth
I don't really have a bucket list fish. I have bucket list places where I want to catch fish.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, give me an example.
Seth
I'd like to go to Norway to fish for like halibut and stuff there.
Co-host/Moderator
All right, what about something stateside?
Seth
Well, I mean like bucket list places.
Co-host/Moderator
Sure.
Seth
Oh, I want to hit all the cool places down south like Guntersville and lake for like all the famous bass
Co-host/Moderator
fisheries with the Bassmaster Classic visits. Those kinds of water Randall bucket list fish.
Randall
I just like a giant king salmon. Like a giant one. The ones that are few and far between. Fewer.
Sarah
Yeah, that is bucket list.
Co-host/Moderator
They don't make them like that giant 40 pounds.
Randall
No, I've caught, I've caught them over 40 like a 60 plus.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, that is giant XXL Logan bucket list fish.
Logan
A red snapper that I could actually keep. I've caught them before but I want to actually catch it and eat it.
Co-host/Moderator
So I'm not Familiar with red snapper.
Spencer Newhart
Is there like a slot?
Co-host/Moderator
What if you catch one below the slot?
Logan
When we were in Florida, we had to toss back all the red snappers because they're out of. So we caught like a bunch of red snappers but we couldn't keep anyone and then we threw them back in the water and watched all the sharks eat them.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Spencer Newhart
Probably the most attainable bucket list fish we've heard so far.
Co-host/Moderator
Sarah, Bucket list fish.
Sarah
I'd like to catch a permit on the fly.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Spencer Newhart
Corey.
Corey
I'd love to go to Mongolia and catch a Taiman.
Sarah
It's cool fashion. Brody Kubera snapper in Panama.
Co-host/Moderator
Wow. Wow.
Sarah
They get big.
Randall
How big? Good fishes.
Spencer Newhart
Huh? How big?
Sarah
Like 80, like giant.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, maybe this is a meat eater series. We go catch our bucket list fish. We see Logan catch like a 22
Spencer Newhart
inch snapper followed by Brody in some extreme jungle. Yeah, I'm into it.
Randall
We'll take Seth to Norway. Yeah, I caught a fish in Norway.
Seth
Did you?
Corey
Yeah.
Phil
What was it?
Randall
The guys with called it a mackerel. I don't know if that's what it was.
Seth
Holy mackerel.
Spencer Newhart
I've never caught a muskie, so I would say a muskie is my bucket list fish. We used to work at a fish hatchery and I raised thousands of them
Co-host/Moderator
and I've held them in my bare hands that I caught out of a rearing pond. So I've caught muskie with my bare hands, but I've never caught one on a hook in line.
Sarah
Just go visit Chester. He'll put you on one.
Co-host/Moderator
Well, I like having an attainable bucket list.
Seth
One you say you better block off about two weeks.
Co-host/Moderator
Then I can do it.
Corey
Yeah.
Spencer Newhart
We have some housekeeping to get to. On a previous episode we had a question about the phone number you should call before planting a tree.
Co-host/Moderator
The answer was 81 1. But in the follow up discussion there
Spencer Newhart
was some wondering aloud about the other 11 phone numbers.
Co-host/Moderator
So here's a full list.
Spencer Newhart
211 is Community Services and information.
Co-host/Moderator
Examples being food banks and support groups. They'll tell you where Those are located.
Spencer Newhart
31 1. Municipal government services.
Co-host/Moderator
Examples being to report abandoned vehicles or noise complaints. Those are non em that you call
Spencer Newhart
for 411 directory assistance. So you call 411 and it tells
Co-host/Moderator
you the phone number to something else. That was one we had heavily discussed.
Spencer Newhart
Six one. Excuse me. Five one one is traffic. Six one one Telephone company.
Co-host/Moderator
Customer service.
Spencer Newhart
Seven one one.
Co-host/Moderator
Telecommunications for deaf and hard of hearing.
Spencer Newhart
Eight one one Underground utility location nine
Co-host/Moderator
one one emergency services.
Spencer Newhart
Most, but not all, are nationally operated.
Co-host/Moderator
And some of them, like 41 1, which is the directory assistance, and 6161
Spencer Newhart
1, which is the telephone customer service,
Co-host/Moderator
are actually going extinct and are getting harder to find. So there are all of your one ones.
Randall
I've been getting a ton of 811 ads on Instagram and Facebook.
Logan
That's because I've been, like, thinking about digging in my backyard. Has anyone used 811 before?
Spencer Newhart
I did about two months ago, yeah.
Logan
How quick is that process?
Spencer Newhart
So you.
Co-host/Moderator
And then you tell them your location, you go online, you fill out a thing, and then they send out their utility companies to mark spots.
Spencer Newhart
Their list is, like, for where I
Co-host/Moderator
lived, eight companies long or something. And I think six of those emailed me back within 24 hours and said, your property is of no concern for us. And then the other two came out and they did mark things, and I think it was within, like, 10 days. So it happens pretty quick. And I think it helps if you get on their list early. But if you try to call in, you know, like, mid maybe. Yeah, you probably backed up at that point.
Randall
Safety first.
Co-host/Moderator
Safety first.
Spencer Newhart
All right, the Shelby index for today is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
Co-host/Moderator
Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?
Seth
You stand to win everything.
Sarah
Game on.
Spencer Newhart
Suckers. Question 1. The topic is woodsmanship. This first great question is via Zachary
Co-host/Moderator
McCall, and as always, it will be multiple choice.
Spencer Newhart
Hypothermia occurs when your core body temperature drops below blank.
Co-host/Moderator
Is it 97 degrees fahrenheit? 95, 93, or 91? For our Canadian listeners, that would be 36 degrees celsius, 35, 34, or 33. Hypothermia occurs when your core body temperature drops below blank. 97, 95. 93. 91. In celsius, that is 36, 35, 34, Or 33.
Randall
Oh, yeah.
Co-host/Moderator
Ooh, you wrote down a percentage.
Randall
Yeah, I was going for a degree.
Co-host/Moderator
Hypothermia occurs when core body temperature drops below 97.
Spencer Newhart
95.
Co-host/Moderator
93. 91.
Randall
What do you think, Corey?
Phelps Game Calls Representative
Sounds cold.
Randall
It all sounds cold.
Logan
Yeah, it's kind of a hard one.
Spencer Newhart
Is everybody ready?
Corey
Great question.
Spencer Newhart
Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth, 95 degrees.
Co-host/Moderator
Randall. 95.
Spencer Newhart
Logan.
Co-host/Moderator
95.
Spencer Newhart
Sarah. 97. Corey.
Co-host/Moderator
95.
Spencer Newhart
Brody.
Co-host/Moderator
93.
Spencer Newhart
The correct answer is 95 degrees. The room did well.
Co-host/Moderator
Or 35 degrees Celsius.
Spencer Newhart
At 95 degrees, you'll experience uncontrollable shivering, slurred speech, clumsy movements, and mild confusion. At 90, you'll stop shivering while your vital organs begin to fail. At 82, you'll be unconscious with a faint pulse, and at 75, you'll most likely be dead. But hypothermic patients have been observed at
Co-host/Moderator
temps down to 55 degrees. Wow.
Logan
That's crazy. Whoa.
Spencer Newhart
So 95 is where it starts.
Co-host/Moderator
90 is just where your organs start to shut down.
Spencer Newhart
Question 2.
Co-host/Moderator
The topic is conservation.
Spencer Newhart
This is the name of Johnny Morris's museum, which often just gets shortened to wow.
Randall
Fantastic institution.
Spencer Newhart
This is the name of Johnny Morris's
Co-host/Moderator
museum, which often just gets shortened to wow.
Seth
Have you been there?
Randall
Yeah.
Co-host/Moderator
He's got a residency there.
Randall
I wish I. I wish I did. I'd like to go back there and spend some more time.
Spencer Newhart
Phil, are there any bucket list fish
Co-host/Moderator
for you on, like, Baldur's Gate or.
Randall
Oh, don't infantilize, Phil.
Spencer Newhart
I'm not, but I bet that's, like,
Co-host/Moderator
a common thing in RPG games.
Phil
There's a fish that you can catch in the. In the northern realms of Faerun called a knucklehead trout. So that's my answer.
Spencer Newhart
You haven't caught it yet, though.
Phil
I have. Well, that. You can't go there in Baldur's Gate, but you can in your imagination, Spencer.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, thank you.
Spencer Newhart
This is the name of Johnny Morris's
Co-host/Moderator
museum, which often just gets shortened to wow. Randall, what was the best part of wow?
Randall
Oh, it's hard to say.
Seth
Okay, they have a big aquarium.
Randall
The aquarium is amazing because not only is it just stuff in the tanks, but there's all kinds. Like, there's a whole wall of just presidents. Fishing. There's like, Jimmy Carter and Roslyn Carter's tackle boxes. Love that stuff like that. I mean, it's just.
Seth
That's cool.
Randall
They got a boat that belonged to Hemingway.
Spencer Newhart
They got the big old, like, record
Co-host/Moderator
book deer in there as well, right?
Randall
Yeah, a ton of big record book animals. They have the Boone and Crockett collection. Like when you see that famous photo of the wall from the New York. I guess it was the Museum of Natural History. Then they just have, like, you. You realize, oh, there's a weird gun room. And then you just go in there and there's just, like, four dozen models.
Sarah
I'm losing confidence in my answer.
Spencer Newhart
Is everybody ready with a wow, what is it Acronym? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says World of Wildlife. Oh, no, Randall.
Co-host/Moderator
Wonders of Wild Logan.
Spencer Newhart
Wildlife of the World. Sarah. World Of Wilderness. Corey, World of Wildlife. Brody, World of Wildlife. We have a correct answer in the room.
Phil
That's what I was thinking.
Spencer Newhart
It's Wonders of Wildlife. Randall Got it. Well, he's been there.
Randall
I was afraid I just embarrassed myself.
Spencer Newhart
The Wonders of Wildlife Natural Museum and Aquarium is located in Springfield, Missouri. USA Today named it America's best aquarium for a record breaking 8th time earlier this year.
Co-host/Moderator
Their conservation work ranges from hosting school field trips to rehabilitating endangered sea turtles. Question 3. The topic is gear.
Spencer Newhart
This company introduced their gender reveal boom box in 2018.
Sarah
Wait, what's the category here?
Spencer Newhart
This company introduced their gender reveal boom box in 2018.
Co-host/Moderator
Randall, very quick.
Randall
I mean I was choosing from between two. One answer.
Co-host/Moderator
Have you been a customer of this company? You think?
Randall
Nope.
Co-host/Moderator
No. Again, question three. The topic is gear. This company introduced their gender reveal boombox in 2018. Sarah, do you have this one right?
Sarah
Couldn't tell you.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay. Only Randall has any comments.
Randall
Huh?
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah.
Seth
Like the product is called Boombox.
Spencer Newhart
It's called the Gender reveal Boombox.
Co-host/Moderator
That is the name of their product that you can go buy.
Spencer Newhart
Corey saying Eh.
Corey
Smidgen of.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Corey
Confidential.
Sarah
Company that makes a product called a boombox.
Seth
Yeah, I do too often.
Phil
There's a knucklehead trout for you. That one's called Old Bitey.
Spencer Newhart
I love that.
Phil
It's got a big head.
Spencer Newhart
It does.
Logan
I like weights.
Phil
Around 50 pounds.
Co-host/Moderator
A balloon.
Spencer Newhart
Good type head. Tell me about the stitches in its belly.
Phil
Oh, I. I have no. It's probably just lived a long, long fruitful life putting up a fight.
Randall
Yeah, like a sperm whale and a coelacanth. Had a baby.
Co-host/Moderator
This company introduced their gender reveal boom box in 2018.
Seth
What's your answer?
Spencer Newhart
Brody in danger of starting 0 for 3.
Co-host/Moderator
I don't know how many times that's happened in Meat eater.
Phil
Maybe never.
Seth
That's what I was gonna put.
Randall
That's what you were going to put, but you didn't put it.
Spencer Newhart
Is everybody ready?
Seth
Put something else.
Spencer Newhart
Oh, go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Q. Randall, Turtle box. Logan, Turtle box.
Co-host/Moderator
Sarah. JBL Corey. JBL Brody, Tannerite.
Spencer Newhart
Correct answer is Tannerite. Oh, got that one right.
Randall
Makes a lot of sense.
Spencer Newhart
Boombox Tannerite used. I didn't know that was a tannerite used for a gender reveal. Started the 2017 sawmill fire that burned 47000 acres in Arizona. The Tucson area blaze was started by off duty border patrol agent Dennis Dickey. Let's all watch the video together to find out if he had a boy or a girl.
Co-host/Moderator
Take it away, Phil.
Spencer Newhart
It's a boy.
Seth
Wow.
Spencer Newhart
And the fire started the second that you see the blue cloud. Like, this may as well have been a wildfire reveal.
Co-host/Moderator
That was so quick.
Randall
Yeah. Who would have thought in a field full of dry grass that you had set.
Seth
That is insane. That happened so quick.
Logan
Yeah. So when you said boombox, I was thinking music. Can I share a quick story about another misconception about words? So there was a couple years ago for Christmas, I was, like, asking my mom what my dad wanted for Christmas. She's like, oh, he wants, like, a.
Corey
A fire.
Logan
No, he wants a fire stick. I was like, okay, sweet. Like, he loves having fires. So I, like, go on Etsy and start looking up, like, custom fire pokers, and I find, like, a sick fire poker. And I like, message my mom, like, yo, check out this fire stick I got dad. And she's like, oh, no. He wanted, like, an Amazon fire stick for tv.
Spencer Newhart
Oh.
Logan
And so I ended up messaging the lady, and I was like, oh, I gotta return that. She thought that was funny.
Spencer Newhart
See, I thought it was a third thing. There's, like, a new muzzleloader that I
Co-host/Moderator
think shoots the fire stick is what it's called.
Spencer Newhart
Am I remembering that right? It's something I thought that's called the fire stick. So there's a lot of ways you
Co-host/Moderator
can go with a fire stick.
Randall
Yeah. I couldn't figure out how you'd use a. A turtle box in a gender reveal. Yeah, I mean, but I also. I didn't think Tannerite was a company.
Sarah
Neither did I.
Spencer Newhart
The founder is last name is Tanner.
Randall
Oh. So that makes a ton of sense.
Co-host/Moderator
I thought it was, like, it's not a proprietary chemical. Question for the topic is wildlife. This next great question is, via Cameron
Corey
Gado, learning a lot.
Spencer Newhart
What is the only plant that monarch caterpillars eat?
Sarah
Oh, come on.
Corey
Got a picky.
Co-host/Moderator
Brody and Seth, quick to answer. They are picky. What is the only plant that monarch caterpillars eat? Seth, you have this one, right?
Seth
Yes.
Co-host/Moderator
Ro, you have this one, right?
Seth
Oh, yeah, this is easy. Easy one.
Corey
Is it a tree?
Phil
It's a plant.
Corey
Is it a bush?
Co-host/Moderator
What is the only plant that monarch caterpillars eat?
Sarah
I'm trying so hard not to cheat off of you, Corey.
Corey
I would not.
Spencer Newhart
So that border patrol agent, he was using Tannerite, but he was not using the official Tannerite gender reveal boombox, because
Co-host/Moderator
that didn't come out until a whole year after.
Spencer Newhart
Yeah, they saw that. They're like, that's great. We need more of those.
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah, man.
Seth
So many of those gender reveal parties go real wrong.
Co-host/Moderator
Yes. Yeah. And then they go very viral after that. Like someone hitting a baseball that their wife threw or something. And then it just drills the wife.
Seth
I saw one recently where his plane flies over and drops something to, you know, reveal the gender and then the plane crashes.
Spencer Newhart
Oh, no.
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah, that's about as worst.
Spencer Newhart
That's the worst case scenario, I think, when you have a gender reveals a plane crashes.
Corey
Yeah. We waited as long as possible to find out what gender our son was.
Spencer Newhart
Does that mean the baby was born?
Seth
Yep.
Spencer Newhart
Okay.
Corey
As long as you can go.
Co-host/Moderator
And what is the only plant that monarch caterpillars eat? Brody and Seth have this one. Our other four players are stumped.
Randall
I have this somewhere in my head, but I'm not going to get it.
Sarah
I feel like I learned this in, like, third grade.
Spencer Newhart
You did, and it's just gone.
Logan
You learned it in third grade? I'm trying to think of all the children's books I've read over my lifetime, and if there's any clues in there, there's the caterpillar. Yeah.
Sarah
Not.
Spencer Newhart
Well, I feel like this thing that,
Co-host/Moderator
like, it's talked about is like.
Spencer Newhart
When Brody was a kid, did they
Co-host/Moderator
talk about acid rain all the time?
Sarah
Yeah.
Spencer Newhart
And then.
Co-host/Moderator
And then, like, I don't know, they
Randall
talked about the Communists a lot, too.
Spencer Newhart
By the time, like, your son's probably
Co-host/Moderator
never heard those two words, acid rain.
Spencer Newhart
Right. Probably. But I bet he's learned this. This is like that version that you
Co-host/Moderator
didn't learn when you were a kid,
Spencer Newhart
but now it's being talked.
Co-host/Moderator
Plight of the monarch must be an east coast thing.
Spencer Newhart
Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth, Milkweed. Randall, without an answer. Logan says leaf. Sarah, she remembered it. Milkweed. Corey, Maple tree. Brody, milkweed.
Co-host/Moderator
The correct answer is milkweed.
Spencer Newhart
Monarch populations have declined by 85% in the last 40 years. One of the primary reasons is due to habitat loss. The upper Midwest has lost the most
Co-host/Moderator
acres of milkweed, specifically, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois.
Spencer Newhart
The National Wildlife Federation says the best thing you can do to help monarchs
Co-host/Moderator
is to plant milkweed in your yard. Question 5. The topic is fishing.
Randall
This is a wild episode.
Spencer Newhart
In what state is Flaming Gorge Dam?
Co-host/Moderator
In what state is Flaming Gorge Dam? Brody and Randall quick to answer. Sarah and Corey think they maybe know it. They are deciding between a few states. And Seth just gasped when he saw the question. In what state is Flaming Gorge damage? We'll get a scoreboard. Update. Bill the engineer.
Randall
Oh, Corey.
Corey
Yep. Just took me A second Driven over it.
Seth
You've been there?
Corey
Yeah. I don't know what state I was in.
Co-host/Moderator
There's a hint.
Seth
When were you there?
Corey
A couple years ago.
Randall
Man, I'm torn.
Sarah
I don't know, maybe.
Co-host/Moderator
In what state is Flaming Gorge damage? Randall is now waffling after putting down his whiteboard immediately. It's doing some crossing out and writing. We sticking with answer one or answer two? Randall?
Randall
I don't know.
Seth
He might be on the three.
Co-host/Moderator
Oh, wow.
Randall
No, no. Oh, God.
Corey
How's that microphone smell?
Spencer Newhart
That was his microphone this morning in news.
Co-host/Moderator
So it smells like Randall.
Randall
I'll go with it.
Spencer Newhart
Whereas my mic smells like Steve.
Co-host/Moderator
Is everybody ready?
Corey
Yeah.
Spencer Newhart
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says California. Randall, Wyoming.
Co-host/Moderator
Logan, California.
Spencer Newhart
Sarah, West Virginia. Cory, Wyoming. Brody, Utah. The correct answer is Utah. Brody got that one right. You guys were close, though. Flaming Gorge dam is located 30 miles south of the Wyoming Wyoming border on the Green River. The stretch of water below the dam is a blue ribbon stream that's considered one of the best trout fisheries in the western United States. And Flaming Gorge Reservoir above the dam
Co-host/Moderator
has produced multiple state and world records. And I think Flaming Gorge Reservoir goes all the way into Wyoming. So we used to say.
Sarah
We used to go fish it and we'd stay at a place called the Flaming Gorge Lodge. And we called it the Flaming Gouge Lodge because they really got you.
Spencer Newhart
Oh. Were you fishing below or above? Below.
Co-host/Moderator
And how was it? As good as what they say?
Sarah
It's good. It's a western tailwater, so it's always, almost always crowded. We would hit it in like April or October in the off season, but there's still a lot of boats. There's three sections. There's the A, B and C. A is very crowded. The first, like seven miles below the dam.
Spencer Newhart
I think that's where they call it.
Co-host/Moderator
The aquarium is located.
Sarah
Yeah. You throw Doritos in the water and the trout will eat them.
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah.
Sarah
And then like, the B section is more remote. C section is a barrier moat. And down at the end of the C section is where Butch Cassidy. Where the cabin is.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah.
Spencer Newhart
Phil, we're halfway through today's game.
Co-host/Moderator
Give us a scoreboard update
Phil
here at halftime. Logan, Sarah and Corey all have one point a piece. Seth has two. Coming up next, Randall got the first two questions correct, which Brody missed. He has two points, but then Brody pulled ahead because he got the net. Next three questions correct, and Randall did not. So in first place, Brody Henderson with three points.
Randall
Thanks for that, Phil.
Phil
You know, I try to spice it up a little bit with some, some color commentary.
Corey
Great breakdown, man.
Co-host/Moderator
Tough round going into question six.
Randall
I thought that last one was a trick question.
Spencer Newhart
And so what did you have?
Sarah
Fontanelle is in Wyoming.
Randall
I had Utah. Yeah, and that's. You pass that when you drive past. Yeah, because I knew it was right on the border and so it was. What state is the dam in? Sure, and I associate Flaming Gorge with ut, but I was thinking it was a trick question and I remembered seeing a dam when we drove past. Anyway, it's all. It's water under the bridge now.
Spencer Newhart
Water through the water under the dam.
Randall
All we can do is just try to win the next five questions.

Co-host/Moderator
Okay, Sarah's giving some help there with some hand gestures.
Sarah
Well, he's done.
Co-host/Moderator
I'm done.
Spencer Newhart
D U N Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Weber. Randall Weber, Logan Pitmaster. Sarah Weber, Corey Coleman, Brody Weber. The correct answer is webbage.
Logan
Makes sense.
Spencer Newhart
George Stephen, the Weber grill inventor, got the idea after having his stakes go up in flames on a brick barbecue. He worked at Weber Brothers Metal, where his job was to weld half spheres together to form buoys. One day, he took one of those half spheres, put legs on it, drilled holes in the bottom and gave it a lid.
Co-host/Moderator
Thus, the Weber kettle grill was born.
Spencer Newhart
So when you're cooking on a Weber
Co-host/Moderator
charcoal grill, you're cooking on what used to be a buoy.
Spencer Newhart
Question 7. The topic is conservation.
Co-host/Moderator
This next great question is via Corey Betancourt.
Spencer Newhart
A tourist was charged with two misdemeanors in May after throwing a rock at
Co-host/Moderator
an endangered Hawaiian blank seal. Brody and Randall and Seth and Corey
Spencer Newhart
and Sarah, all quick to answer.
Co-host/Moderator
We're waiting on you, Logan, you got your answer yet?
Logan
No.
Co-host/Moderator
Give him a minute.
Spencer Newhart
A tourist was charged with two misdemeanors.
Phil
May.
Randall
I'm just going with what I think.
Co-host/Moderator
After throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian blank seal.
Randall
Spencer, can you gut check me on this?
Co-host/Moderator
Can I gut check you? How could I gut check you?
Randall
Wby?
Co-host/Moderator
I don't know if they're injured.
Spencer Newhart
Yeah, good. Your gut. Your gut is correct.
Co-host/Moderator
Good, good, good. But it doesn't seem like those microphone whispers are going to help Logan at all. Maybe a listener at home.
Sarah
No.
Logan
Yeah, I mean, I don't think I got this right.
Co-host/Moderator
Topic is conservation.
Spencer Newhart
Have you seen the video?
Co-host/Moderator
Logan, are you familiar with this story at all? Okay, well, we'll show it to you after this. A tourist was charged. We'd have to watch this in May after throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian blank. See it?
Corey
Close your eyes.
Co-host/Moderator
Is everybody ready?
Randall
I actually haven't watched the video.
Spencer Newhart
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Monk, Randall, Monk, Logan, Fur Sarah, Elephant Corey, Monk, Brody, Monk. The correct answer is Monk.
Co-host/Moderator
A Hawaiian monk seal.
Spencer Newhart
There are fewer than 2, 000 Hawaiian monk seals left in the world. They have been on the endangered species list since 1976.
Co-host/Moderator
The Washington man who threw the rock
Spencer Newhart
pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges. Despite the whole thing being caught on film, his lawyer argued that he threw the rock to spook the seal to protect nearby sea turtles. When confronted about it at the be, man told onlookers, quote, I'm rich enough
Co-host/Moderator
to pay any fine.
Spencer Newhart
Here is that video.
Co-host/Moderator
Wow. Love him even more.
Sarah
Oh, big rock.
Spencer Newhart
Yeah, that. I mean, that's borderline boulder that he
Co-host/Moderator
threw at that thing.
Spencer Newhart
Let's see it one more time, Phil.
Phil
Oh, goodness. Hold on.
Co-host/Moderator
Oh, no. This is tricky. We've asked too much.
Phil
Sorry.
Sarah
I'm not defending what that guy did in any way, but they. I think they have some problems with these things. Like. Like being very aggressive with people in Hawaii.
Co-host/Moderator
Well, he is now in court about the whole thing, and I think he's facing.
Sarah
He's got enough money.
Spencer Newhart
A two year sentence and $170,000 are
Co-host/Moderator
the max fines and sentence that he could get.
Randall
Yeah, it seems like a real, real
Logan
d. Does it seem like he hit the seal?
Phil
No, he missed.
Co-host/Moderator
It looked like it was.
Randall
Right.
Sarah
Well, there's murder and there's attempted murder.
Those are bad.
Yeah.
Co-host/Moderator
Question eight. The topic is hunting.
Spencer Newhart
Some versions of this fictional character's backstory
Co-host/Moderator
say he became an outlaw after poaching a deer in Sherwood Forest. Sarah, Randall Brody already have their answers. Some versions of this fictional character's backstory say he became an outlaw after poaching a deer in Sherwood Forest.
Sarah
I can't believe it's taken like five years to get to this question. Now that I think about it.
Co-host/Moderator
Yep.
Sarah
How many years has it been, Spencer?
Co-host/Moderator
I think since 21. Or 22, I think 21, probably. So we'd be five years into this thing.
Randall
There's a new flick coming out.
Corey
Really?
Sarah
Oh, that's easy. That's a little empty hint there.
Randall
Honestly, if you can't get this. But you're up on your YouTube trailers.
Sarah
You're right.
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah.
Logan
That didn't help at all.
Sarah
You know, kids these days, Randall, I'm
Spencer Newhart
not familiar with the flick.
Co-host/Moderator
You have to tell me more about it later. Some versions of this fictional character's backstory say he became an outlaw after poaching a deer in Sherwood Forest. Fictional character.
Sarah
Yep.
Spencer Newhart
Corey, do you have this one right?
Sarah
I hope so.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay. Is this a fictional character you've covered with your son, Marshall?
Corey
Sure, yeah, if it's. If it's the correct answer.
Spencer Newhart
Okay.
Corey
I don't know what I have written down.
Co-host/Moderator
Yes. Seth can't come up with any fictional character. Oh, now he is. Oh, just thought of one.
Randall
I bet he could come up with a fictional character.
Co-host/Moderator
Logan, are you coming up with a fictional character down there?
Logan
Yeah, but it's probably not, right?
Spencer Newhart
Okay, we'll all be entertained. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says Robin Hood. Randall says Robin Hood.
Sarah
Logan.
Spencer Newhart
Johnny Appleseed.
Logan
Actually, not even fictional. Johnny Appleseed's a real person.
Spencer Newhart
Sarah. Robin Hood. Corey. Robin Hood. Brody. Robin Hood. The correct answer is Robin Hood. In Robin Hood's Progress to Nottingham, a teenage Robin is walking through the woods
Co-host/Moderator
when he encounters 15 royal foresters.
Spencer Newhart
They insult Robin, telling him he's too weak to draw his bow. Robin bets them that he's able to
Co-host/Moderator
kill a stag standing 100 yards away.
Spencer Newhart
And then he actually does it. The royal foresters threaten to cut off Robin's ears, saying that all deer in
Co-host/Moderator
Sherwood Forest belong to the king.
Spencer Newhart
A fight then ensues, and it ends with robin killing all 15 foresters. This leads to him fleeing into the forest and spending the rest of his
Co-host/Moderator
life as an outlaw.
Sarah
They didn't cover that story in the animated movie.
Phil
No, just a sexy fox.
Spencer Newhart
Very impressive, though, that he killed all 15 Foresters. That was just a guy like Seth
Co-host/Moderator
out there working for the Royal Forestry Department.
Spencer Newhart
And then he gets gunned down by Robin.
Seth
Don't mess around with guys like Seth.
Spencer Newhart
By 15 year old Robin.
Phil
He's got blood trails Episode.
Spencer Newhart
All right, we have two questions left.
Co-host/Moderator
Phil, scoreboard update.
Sarah
Oh, Hugh Jackman's doing a Robin Hood.
Co-host/Moderator
Oh, yeah.
Spencer Newhart
Tell me, is that what.
Randall
It's old Robin Hood?
Sarah
Yeah, like gritty, like, it's kind of
Randall
fun, I think, in training a young protege.
Co-host/Moderator
Yeah.
Spencer Newhart
Phil, did you love the Robin Hood movie?
Phil
That. That wasn't in my heavy rotation.
Spencer Newhart
Men in tights. The men in tights. Randall, I bet you.
Co-host/Moderator
No, I love that.
Logan
Yeah, that's a good Dave Chappelle.
Randall
Prince of Thieves.
Sarah
Okay.
Randall
Costner, Morgan. Oh, my God.
Spencer Newhart
Men in tights version.
Randall
Yeah, I did like men and tights, but blinking Prince of Thieves is just a movie that no one talks about enough.
Spencer Newhart
You're right, Phil. Scoreboard.
Phil
Logan's hanging on with a point. We've got Sarah and Corey with three. Seth and Randall have five. And still in first place. Brody's hanging on with six points.
Corey
Unreachable.
Spencer Newhart
Robin Hood was doing the thing that
Co-host/Moderator
Steve talked about on the news show this week, which is just being like a hunting and fishing outlaw when it,
Randall
you know, and then killing 15 people.
Co-host/Moderator
That's right.
Spencer Newhart
Well, that. That all came.
Randall
Deer really derailed things because they threatened
Spencer Newhart
to cut off his ears. All right, we're on to question nine.
Co-host/Moderator
The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question is via Christopher Blair.
Spencer Newhart
This is the highest number a storm
Co-host/Moderator
can achieve on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale and Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale. Question nine, Woodsmanship.
Spencer Newhart
This is the highest number a storm
Co-host/Moderator
can achieve on the Safir Simpson Hurricane Scale and Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale. Brody, do you like your answer?
Sarah
I do. Yeah.
Co-host/Moderator
He's got a one point lead. These last two questions. Randall, he doesn't really love his answer.
Randall
If you'd asked me this question, I wouldn't have said I would have had two different answers for those scales.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay, so you're choosing between two?
Randall
Yeah.
Spencer Newhart
Did you go with what you thought
Co-host/Moderator
the hurricane would be or the tornado would be?
Randall
I think the hurricane.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay. This is the highest number a storm can achieve on the hurricane scale and tornado scale. That is the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale and the Enhanced Fujita Tornado scale. Is everybody ready?
Randall
Oh, it's the enhanced version, yes. Oh, that hasn't changed my answer.
Spencer Newhart
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Seth says 5, Randall, 6. Logan 10. Sarah 5. Corey, 5. Brody, 5. The correct answer is 5. The room did well. A Category 5 hurricane has wind speeds greater than 157 miles per hour. An EF5 tornado has wind speeds greater
Co-host/Moderator
than 200 miles per hour.
Spencer Newhart
The Enhanced Fujita scale replaced the Fujita scale, which labeled F5s, is having wind speeds between 261 and 318 miles per hour. This left for the possibility of having an F6 tornado, and twice the scale's creator gave out that rating. But in both cases, the twisters were downgraded to F5s.
Co-host/Moderator
After further studies, those tornadoes happened in Texas in 1970 and Ohio in 1974.
Spencer Newhart
Here is a picture of the 1974 tornado that touched down east of Dayton. Again, it was originally called an F6 by the scale's creator, but they later
Co-host/Moderator
changed it to an F5.
Sarah
I feel like you're giving Randall some room to argue.
Spencer Newhart
I'm not because I said the enhanced.
Randall
The enhanced scale is. Is in fact a diminished scale.
Co-host/Moderator
It's capped now.
Spencer Newhart
Nothing above a 5.
Randall
So it's enhanced by having fewer options.
Co-host/Moderator
Yes.
Spencer Newhart
Yes.
Co-host/Moderator
Doesn't mean more.
Spencer Newhart
You would.
Sarah
It seems to me you would be a bit more accurate of the original twister movie, Randall.
Randall
Yeah, I mean, it never really did a ton for me.
Seth
No, it's a great flick.
Sarah
No, yeah.
Randall
I mean, it's interesting, but it's.
Phil
I don't know.
Seth
Oh, it's.
Randall
I haven't seen the new one. You see the new one.
Corey
It's worth skipping.
Seth
It's cheesy, but still, if you like tornadoes, it's worth watching.
Spencer Newhart
Randall, were you familiar with whatever this
Co-host/Moderator
Tornado is from 1974?
Randall
No. No. We had a big tornado when I was like, in elementary school, junior high, that touched down pretty near our house. Did a lot of damage in blue ash.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Randall
I think Sycamore High School might have been damaged. I can't say for sure, but we drove over to look at the damage
Spencer Newhart
when I was like 6 years old in F5.
Co-host/Moderator
Went through Spencer, South Dakota, which, you know, it was very fun. When you're a Spencer in South Dakota who lives 30 miles from the town that the tornado destroyed.
Randall
If there had been social media back.
Sarah
That's like a hurricane that gets named after.
Spencer Newhart
Oh, yes, sir.
Sarah
Same thing.
Randall
Yeah, I could have sworn that. I've heard of, like a Category 6
Co-host/Moderator
hurricane, maybe on a different scale, but
Spencer Newhart
probably not the one that everyone uses.
Randall
Probably not. I just invented that whole clock.
Spencer Newhart
All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was 95 degrees Fahrenheit or 35 degrees Celsius. Two. Wonders of Wildlife.
Co-host/Moderator
Three.
Spencer Newhart
Tannerite.
Randall
Four.
Spencer Newhart
Milkweed. Five, Utah. Six, Weber. Seven. Monk Seal. Eight. Robin Hood. Nine. Five.
Co-host/Moderator
Phil, scoreboard update just got slightly more
Phil
interesting because Seth has pulled ahead of Randall. And now the game is between Brody and Seth. Brody has seven, Seth has six.
Co-host/Moderator
Here's question 10. The topic is foraging.
Spencer Newhart
This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Dan Patterson for sending this great question. Dan is going to get a 151st light gift card. If you want a chance to win
Co-host/Moderator
the listener question of the week, then send your question to Trivia atthemeat eater.com.
Spencer Newhart
this seven letter word that's often associated
Co-host/Moderator
with blackberries and raspberries is defined as, quote, a rough bush or vine that
Spencer Newhart
usually has sharp thorns. Sarah and Randall have their answers.
Co-host/Moderator
This seven letter word that's often associated with blackberries and raspberries is defined as A rough bush or vine that usually has sharp thorns.
Randall
So there is. I'm not debating this, but.
Corey
But
Randall
the National Hurricane center hasn't officially adopted it. But a Category 6 hurricane is possible. Several storms have already reached these wind speeds that exceed whatever it is.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Randall
And so there's some debate in the hurricane community about this because category 6 level wind speeds are becoming more common.
Spencer Newhart
Okay.
Co-host/Moderator
Maybe someday we'll ask this question again in a decade. Random.
Randall
Yeah, I'm not debating it. I just.
Phil
Again, you're just trying to enlighten us.
Randall
Yeah, I'm fascinated by it.
Seth
That's great.
Randall
It's a theoretical rating.
Spencer Newhart
We would need Brody to get this
Co-host/Moderator
one wrong and Seth to get it right to go to overtime. Both appear to have blank whiteboards.
Randall
Yeah. And to really go to overtime, we would need you to counteract, like, retroactively. Give me a point for that. And then we get it right and Brody get it wrong.
Spencer Newhart
Do you have this one right?
Randall
I think so.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay. Seth put down his whiteboard. Do you have this one right, Seth, that.
Phil
You know the word.
Seth
I was trying to come up the. The answer I want to put down. I don't know how to spell it, so just.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Seth
Put it several ways to come up with seven, you know.
Co-host/Moderator
Okay.
Spencer Newhart
Seven letter word.
Phil
Left out a letter here and there.
Spencer Newhart
Often I think I added a couple.
Seth
One maybe.
Randall
Is this a word that could be misspelled?
Spencer Newhart
I don't know.
Seth
Let me see.
Spencer Newhart
Yours defined as.
Seth
I'm not changing mine.
Spencer Newhart
A rough bush or vine that usually has sharp.
Co-host/Moderator
Sharp thorns.
Seth
That ain't what I put down.
Co-host/Moderator
Nice.
Seth
But I was gonna say I wouldn't use what. I would use what I'm putting down to describe that.
Spencer Newhart
Seth, would you rather have yours than
Randall
mine or mine than yours?
Sarah
I'm blank, man.
Co-host/Moderator
I can't think of it.
Randall
I could have.
Seth
I think I spelled mine wrong, so I probably rather have yours.
Randall
Should have just done it.
Corey
I don't know how.
Spencer Newhart
It can be something Big game. What if.
Co-host/Moderator
Randall.
Seth
Well, I can't.
Randall
Oh, my God.
Spencer Newhart
Tannerite. I feel like that's.
Seth
I can't spell name.
Randall
I know, I know.
Spencer Newhart
You had Utah and went with Wyoming.
Randall
Yeah. Cory.
Corey
Nope.
Randall
And I knew. I knew F5 was the fastest tornado, but for whatever reason.
Co-host/Moderator
Is everybody ready?
Spencer Newhart
Seven letter word associated with blackberries and raspberries.
Co-host/Moderator
A rough bush or vine.
Sarah
Oh, that's right.
Spencer Newhart
Go ahead and reveal your answers, Seth. Briars says Briars. Randall, Bramble, Logan, Corey.
Ad Voice
Got too many letters.
Spencer Newhart
Bramble. Corey says jacket ripper Brody without an answer. The correct answer is bramble.
Co-host/Moderator
Sarah and Randall.
Logan
First Light has the bramble gators. I should have.
Spencer Newhart
Oh, I didn't know that.
Randall
Brambler.
Spencer Newhart
Oh, well, they're on sale. Appropriately named first light dot com. Besides blackberries and raspberries, brambles are often made up of something from the rose family. And if you hear the term bramble berry, that can refer to anything that grows in a bramble, including salmonberries, thimbleberries, boysenberries, and dewberries.
Randall
And there's a little, there's a little universe of little porcelain figurines of like bunny people. Brambly patch.
Spencer Newhart
Okay, wasn't familiar. All right, that makes Brody today's winner.
Co-host/Moderator
With seven correct answers, he beats Randall in six. That by one point.
Spencer Newhart
Brody, what are you going to do with that $500 donation?
Sarah
We've been talking a lot about PFAS, chemicals in water and data centers sucking up water. So we're going to donate to American Rivers. They just came out with their most endangered river list for the United States. The Potomac was the most endangered river.
Co-host/Moderator
There's always some staples on there. I feel like the Colorado river is usually on Rio Grande.
Seth
Oh, yeah.
Sarah
Dewatered so bad. But yeah. We'll donate to American work.
Co-host/Moderator
$500 going their way.
