Advice from the Crew:

• Nate (adult-onset hunter):

  “You gotta get a mentor, dude. Like, you gotta find someone who’s willing to take you under their wing. It will speed your learning curve up so fast, and it will make you actually enjoy it.” (02:14)

Next Week: More trivia competition—where conservation always wins.

Transcript

[A]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[B]

Guaranteed Human.

[C]

It's a meater podcast.

[B]

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, Brody, Randall, Nate, Sarah and Corey. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meteors. Four verticals are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There is a prize meater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing. All right, we have a mailbag question to start today's show. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, send your question with the subject line mailbag to trivia the Meater.com Stephen Funk says, I hunted as a kid but only got one deer and some squirrels. I'm now 32 and wanting to get back into hunting but have no one to go with nor learn from. Any suggestions for someone getting back into it such as where start and recommend gear? I've considered getting a Henry 22 and going for squirrel on local public lands as I no longer have access to private land as I did when I was a kid.

[D]

Oh, can I go first?

[B]

Yes. What do we got for Steven?

[D]

Well, you prepped us a little bit with this question before we started, but I didn't read the email earlier. And so I had no idea about his squirrel hunting. But that right there is a 100% where he should just pick right back up.

[B]

He chose a good place to start.

[E]

Did he include where he's from?

[B]

He did not say.

[C]

But if he's only going to get one gun, I'd go shotgun, not 22.

[D]

Oh, he says he can only afford one gun.

[B]

He didn't say that. He says, I've considered getting a Henry 22 and going for squirrel on local public lands. Let's assume he's just going to buy one new gun.

[E]

Aesthetically, it's most pleasing.

[B]

Okay?

[C]

Yeah. But if you want versus the lever action, get yourself a 20 gauge.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Yeah, maybe one. You can swap barrels. You can shoot slug, shoot a deer because that's what he wants to do is shoot himself some vents.

[B]

What state does say? What state did not say where he's from? Nate Mason, when did you kill your first year?

[F]

That would have been 20. 20. Shot it. Shot it with bow.

[B]

Age?

[F]

Oh, man. 24.

[B]

Age 24.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Give some advice to Stephen.

[F]

So as a fellow onset, adult onset hunter, you need to like you got to get a mentor, dude. Like you got to find someone who's willing to take you under their wing. It will speed Your learning curve up so fast, and it will make you actually enjoy it. The key to that is, like, come prepared when you approach someone to ask them for your time. Come with a plan, have your hunting license, have your weapon picked out, do some initial scouting, even though your scouting is going to be pointless, and show that you're invested. I have so many people who now approach me and say, hey, I want to learn to hunt. And I'm like, cool, do it. And then they don't have a hunting license, they don't have a plan, they don't know what kind of weapon they're going to use, and it just falls out. But when a guy approaches me with a plan and shows that he's bought in, then that'll. That'll set you up for success.

[D]

They're kind of coming to you for that, though.

[C]

Yeah, I mean that. I get what you're saying.

[F]

No, dude, you got to come prepared.

[E]

You're going to get more out of

[C]

it, but you don't know how to prepare if you're a new hunter.

[B]

Okay, as a new hunter fixing to kill a deer, do you have the freezer space? Like, there's a good point.

[F]

Yeah. Place to just chat it. Tell whatever chat tells you to do it. I say, I'm going to approach this person. What do I need to lay out? It'll give you ten things. You do five of those things. That guy will be so stoked and so much more likely to help you.

[C]

I'll. I'll add to the mentor thing that's. It's not easy finding a mentor, like, all the time. Like, look at your state fishing game agency because they often have, like, new hunter programs.

[F]

I went to a hunter 101 thinking I just wanted to shoot pigs with an AR15. And this guy, Lyle Avis, huge meater fan, big hound hunter or. Anyways, he took me under his wing and he was awesome. And without him, I would not have been. I wouldn't be here today.

[B]

As Brody said, the state orgs have a lot of mentorship programs, as do conservation orgs. Nwtf, Ruffed Grouse Society, National Deer Association, International Hunter Education association, rmef, bha. They all have something like that that will hook you up with someone who knows what they're doing.

[C]

Talk up the old timers at the shooting range.

[E]

Yeah, don't even. I would say too, like, if you're using an org like that to try to find a mentor, show up at like a service day, because then you're going to go pull fence or do whatever with A bunch of folks who are very invested in the lifestyle and in the future. I mean, like people with years and years and years of experience and you already know that they're into the idea of passing it on in public service and all that. You're going to have better luck, like at a field day with. With people who are volunteering for Fish and Wildlife than you are. I like the gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse or whatever.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

Can I have one more thing for you? Move on, Spencer. Go out there by yourself. Like, don't be scared. Like, go do. Like, as important as a mentor is, like, you can go learn a lot, just going out there and making mistakes by yourself. So, like, don't be afraid to go out in the woods.

[B]

Yeah. Having a mentor is like, you can't replace that. But I would say in the year 2026, the learning curve has never been smaller for something like this. Specifically with like YouTube. As someone who picked up a new outdoor hobby, like during COVID which was Rockhounding, I didn't know anything about that. I didn't know anybody who was a rock hound. I. I like, did a lot of my learning through YouTube.

[C]

My God, Spencer, I thought you were a lifelong Rockhound.

[B]

I was always rock curious. I would see a rock and be like, what is that thing? I'd like to know if I can have that.

[C]

Never would have guessed.

[B]

It's probably special. It was really Covid that was like, okay, I think I'm going to get into this thing. Anyway, there was.

[D]

Now your house is full of rocks.

[B]

Full of rocks. My house is mostly like, Spencer, yes, you can. You can learn a lot on YouTube. The other thing I would say, it. It is a. A true, like, bonafide statistic. I don't remember if it was via the National Shooting Sports foundation or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, but the number one barrier to entry is having a place to go hunt. And so for whatever state you're in, I would say get on x. It's like 30 bucks a year. You'll find all the public land. This guy. Like, I would search your own last name on there, Stephen Funk, and see if there are. Maybe there's an uncle who has a farm you don't know about or like, you're. I'm. I'm serious. This. I do this or I did this. When I got on X for the first time, I was like, okay, where are the new hearts at? Onyx is really great for that. You might find a place you can hunt. Search your boss's name.

[E]

Why stop there? Why not do 23andMe?

[B]

Absolutely. Like it's. It is. Having a place to hunt is the hardest part about hunting. That's just a fact. So. So on X, I think the $30 you can spend on that is well worth it. Then we also have an article on the meat eater.com that Brody wrote in 2020. How to find a hunting mentor.

[C]

That's a long time.

[B]

You'll learn some good tips there.

[C]

There you go.

[D]

All right.

[B]

We have some housekeeping, but not really. The Meat Eater Auction House of oddities has returned today. July 8th is when everything kicks off. We've got more than 30 items available with 100% of the proceeds going to the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative. Brody, tell folks about the LAI and all the good work.

[C]

Yeah, it was launched back in 2020. I don't know if it was part of the Rinella Patela's campaign promise, but back in 2020 we created it to increase public access for hunting, fishing and all forms of outdoor recreation. So we raised money to increase access through. We do that through donations, sales, auctions, et cetera. Few of the notable projects. 2020 was the first one. Shiloh Pond in Maine. That was an area in Kingfield Township that was gonna get privatized and we stepped in and kind of rescued it. 2022, Montana Great Outdoors Project. We opened up. Well, we connected. I'm not sure how much land we actually bought, but it was 150 acre. 150,000 acre conservation ease. It opened up a bunch of access to a bunch of land. Wildcat Bend in Montana was after that. Bunch of access on the Yellowstone River. Then big one. We helped fund the legal defense fund for the Missouri Four in Wyoming's big old corner crossing case. And we're back now for Tucker Town Game Lands in North Carolina for 2026.

[B]

As I just said, having access to a place to hunt fish, that's the number one barrier. And that's what the Media Land Access Initiative is working towards, giving you more places to hunt and fish. Some of the highlights of things we have in the auction house, Steve's dad's old pickup that's filled with hunting gear. A bow made by Bear Newcomb. A tanned bear hide from Clay Newcomb. Fly fishing memorabilia from lefty Cr? Dos boat motor. That's a 150 VTEC outboard. Leftover barn board. That's the same barn board that's in our new podcast studio. Three punt gun shells, 73 hats that were shot by a punt gun. Signed trivia, board games, dinosaur bone jewelry and mammoth bone jewelry that was made by my wife, box of rocks, fossils and gemstones from my personal collection and much, much more. It's all happening right now at the meat eater.com auction. The bidding ends in two weeks. 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 Thrones.

[D]

I almost forgot we were here for.

[A]

That was great.

[C]

[B]

I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that?

32 of 50 states have the word wildlife in their name. Question to the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Pam Corwin. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a Dolly Varden is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world.

[C]

Bucket list.

[F]

I don't know anything that this question is asking.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It's pretty high up.

[B]

Sarah, Brody, Randall, all quick to answer. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a Dolly Varden is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world.

[F]

Wish I knew what a Dolly Varden is.

[B]

Well, after this.

[E]

It's a character from a Dickens novel.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

We will show you a picture of a Dolly Varden and this fish.

[C]

There should be a. I'm not gonna talk.

[A]

Okay,

[B]

this is question two. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a Dolly Varden is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world. Randall, have you ever caught one of these?

[E]

No.

[B]

No. Okay, go for six in this.

[E]

Caught some dollies. Phil, would you look up. Is it David Copperfield?

[H]

Sure, I'll get right on that.

[E]

Please.

[B]

The book.

[E]

Yeah, I'm trying to remember where Dolly Varden.

[B]

I didn't know that that's where that came from.

[E]

Oh, yeah, that's trivia.

[B]

That is Trivia.

[H]

Charles Dickens's 1841 historical novel, Barnaby Rudge.

[B]

Okay, so it's not trivia. It's wrong trivia.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Well, it's from a Dickens novel.

[H]

It is. You got.

[A]

That was a good poll.

[H]

It's a half point.

[B]

Shelby, index this.

[E]

I've always wanted to make that attribute

[B]

which resembles a Dolly Varden.

[C]

Man, it's tough not being an angler, isn't it?

[B]

I'm gonna ride in and ask how

[F]

to become an adult onset angler.

[A]

Dude, it's not that hard.

[H]

Well, you.

[B]

You have a strike against you since you don't drink beer, Nate, and that's A crucial part.

[D]

No, it's not being an adult angler. Not if you want to be a good adult angler, no.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Randall said he couldn't go with him if you didn't.

[E]

I didn't say that. Brody said he wouldn't want to go with me.

[F]

Probably like, six catfish.

[B]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[F]

No, we have no way, dude.

[B]

Sarah and Randall saying arctic char. Corey says bull trout. Brody and Nate say arctic char.

[F]

Let's go.

[B]

The correct answer is the arctic char. Well done.

[D]

You're in the same fly fishing guide.

[B]

Eh, Never seen an arctic char.

[A]

They look like dollies.

[F]

I never heard of one.

[C]

They used to be all the same damn thing.

[D]

I thought they were the same thing.

[C]

AR dollies, bull trout.

[E]

I bet the flavor text will tell us.

[B]

The northernmost population of arctic char is found on Elsmere island, which is about 400 miles from the North Pole. Their southernmost native population is Maine. Arctic char have a slow metabolism that makes them well suited to live in places with low nutrients and long winters. Here's a picture of you showing the difference between.

[C]

Oh, man, you can do better than that. Can you type in C run Arctic char?

[E]

That looks like evidence.

[C]

They also look as.

[B]

As Corey C run.

[H]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. The arctic char has a wide variance of colors that they produce. This one is more on the one silver side.

[A]

Yeah, that's.

[B]

They can produce some real good color. All right, well, Phil looks that up. We'll move on to question list for me.

[C]

Man, those seabron suckers, they get big.

[A]

Greenland, beautiful char. Yeah.

[B]

Arctic char can look like a lot of different salmonid species at different points in their development. Question three, the topic is hunting.

[C]

We'll get back to that.

[B]

In sporting clays, the discs that erratically roll and bounce across the ground are named after this animal. Sarah, Nate, Brody, Randall, all quick to answer.

[A]

They suck to hit.

[F]

Sarah's done it. Sarah signed up for sporting clays tournament.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I'm signed up for a sporting place.

[B]

Now, do you shoot these in sporting clays or not?

[A]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[C]

There's some stations that have them.

[A]

Yeah. Not every station, but.

[B]

And do you think these are. How do these rank among the hardest to hit?

[A]

They're hard to hit hard because they

[D]

bounce erratically in sporting clays.

[A]

Some courses will set them intentionally so they kick up, and you have to,

[B]

like, make sure there's some rocks or tree roots around to make contact with. In sporting clays, the discs that erratically roll and bounce across the ground are named after this animal. Is everybody ready? Go. Ahead and reveal your answers. We have the whole room saying rabbit, except Corey, who says pigeon. The correct answer is rabbit.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

Or bunny. I've seen them called bunny clays as well. Rabbit clays are about the same size as clay pigeons, but have heavier reinforced edges. They change speeds as they hop across the ground, making them a challenging hit. The National Shooting Sports foundation says these clays are about the same speed as others, but appear faster because of their movement against a background.

[H]

Is this your c run Arctic Char Road?

[A]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[H]

I don't know who that man is.

[C]

That other thing up there, I don't know what that was, but that's an arctic char.

[B]

The other one was not running to the sea. That was just a sad inland. Not that one.

[D]

Oh, that is a beauty.

[A]

The trick for those rabbits is to aim for the front foot. It's a clay. It's round, but you have to think about hitting the front foot.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It gets your eyes in the right spot.

[C]

I just close my eyes and squeeze.

[D]

The trick.

[B]

Question 4. The topic is wildlife. A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates. Brody very quick to answer. Randall joins him. A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[D]

Yeah, I got a good guess, but I was gonna say that I think one of the very first animals that I killed on a hunt was a rabbit via shotgun. And I can still remember just being so surprised. Like, I remember. I can still vividly remember, like, the shot, like, cutting the dirt and that rabbit going from run to, like, a little bit of a skid and then a stop and just being like, holy, like, it all worked.

[B]

You know, that's how I feel whenever

[E]

I hit a clay.

[H]

Wow.

[C]

Pop.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

Are the. Sarah, are the rabbits. Are they always coming across you? Are they ever, like, going away from you?

[A]

They're never going straight away. They're typically always crossing, but sometimes they'll kind of cross away. And

[B]

I had no idea those existed.

[A]

Yeah, they suck.

[E]

Clearly.

[A]

They're hard to hit.

[B]

A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates.

[D]

We have some of these.

[B]

You have some of these?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

Oh, I'm so jealous. I'd like one.

[D]

Yeah, if I can dig one up. I'll give you some. They always pick them up off the beach in North Carolina.

[C]

Your first answer should be for.

[B]

I'm an Aspiring beach color. Whenever I'm on the coast now, I'm always bringing home trash. It's like the rockhound forager in me.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Have not found one of these.

[D]

You should go sharks tooth hunting with Jennifer.

[E]

Oh, that's funnier.

[D]

She came home with hundreds.

[F]

Dude, I found 209 in my last batch.

[B]

Damn.

[F]

Yeah. Smoked my brother Sucking Gabe.

[B]

Extra jealous. Give it. What state?

[F]

Maryland. Well, Virginia, actually, but same time.

[D]

You get any big ones? They all look.

[F]

I found a great white, but it like. It depends on what you mean by big. I use like that big. That's a big tooth. But people are thinking mag teeth, you know?

[D]

Yeah, small. The ones that are like. We get some quarter sized ones too, but yeah. Our buddy Parker hall, he always sends me pictures one size of his palm.

[F]

That's the dream, dude.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I want a necklace with that.

[B]

Is everybody ready? A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery case egg or the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says purse. Sarah says tail. Randall, purse. Corey, scale. Nate, tail. Brody, purse. The correct answer is a mermaid's purse, although sizes and shapes vary. A typical mermaid's purse is rectangular with distinct horns. The pouch is made of tough collagen that shields the baby from the outside world. Only about 30% of shark species produce a mermaid's purse. The empty pouches will wash up on beaches, with coastal lore saying that finding one is a sign of wealth, good luck and blessings from the sea. There you go.

[D]

No wonder I'm doing so good. There you go.

[B]

Well, good luck and see blessings.

[C]

Nate, how are those vibes?

[F]

Great. Yeah, I'm still. I'm still enjoying myself.

[B]

You've got arctic char. You can't.

[F]

I could get the rest wrong and I leave this room happy.

[B]

Money can't buy that. Nate, getting an arctic chart? No, we're looking at a mermaid's purse now in the room. Question 5. The topic is cooking. Martha Stewart says, quote, it's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime. When talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron. That's how Martha Stewart described it. It's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime. When talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron.

[C]

Huh?

[B]

Brody came up with an answer. Brody, do you think you agree with Martha Stewart?

[C]

I'm trying to.

[B]

He's not sure.

[F]

I thought your questions are really good. This one's not so good.

[A]

This might ruffle some feathers, but the whole soap and cast iron Thing only really applies to old cast iron. You can use soap on new cast iron.

[B]

If you look at Lodge's website, when they tell you how to clean cast iron, they tell you to use soap.

[C]

Yeah. I'm gonna leave it.

[A]

It has to. It was the. Like the older soaps. What? They had lye in them and it, like, ate away cast iron.

[B]

It still feels naughty. I respect the tradition. I don't use soap. I do like Martha Stewart's advice here. Martha Stewart says it's abrasive and can lift stubborn grime. When talking about this soap alternative for cleaning cast iron. Randall, do you think you have this one?

[E]

Nope. I have an abrasive substance.

[A]

There's a lot of those.

[B]

Brody's going back to his whiteboard after he declared that he wasn't going to change his answer. Yanni. Corey coming up with their answer. Yanni, are you ready?

[D]

Sure.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal answers. We have Yanni saying salt. Sarah, salt. Randall, baking soda. Corey, sand. Nate, salt. Brody, salt. The correct answer is salt.

[F]

Nice.

[B]

Green did well.

[F]

I was between that and chain mail.

[B]

There you go. According to Martha Stewart, it's best to just clean cast iron with hot water and if the buildup is bad, reach for salt. The recommended process is to heat the cast iron on a stove for a few minutes, then apply a couple teaspoons of salt and scrub it in. After that, you can rinse the pan and re season the cast iron.

[C]

I'm gonna try it. I've never tried it.

[B]

I used the salt and it got rid of some rust for me, so it's worth a shot.

[A]

Get like the diamond or the Morton's Kosher. Really, really coarse.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah, I have boxes of that stuff in our house.

[A]

I prefer diamond, but Morton's in this case.

[B]

Randall, I think there are people who do use baking. Yeah, I bet there are, but that

[E]

seems like a great answer.

[F]

Not.

[B]

Martha Stewart was referring to. And sand works great if you're not in the kitchen.

[A]

It is abrasive.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

As a fishing guide, you've done that on the side of the river before.

[E]

Yep.

[B]

My arctic char fishing guy, Dave. All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update

[H]

here at halftime. Corey falling way behind. He's got one point.

[B]

I think I'm elsewhere mentally at the moment.

[H]

Seems like it. We got Sarah, Randall, and Nate with three points apiece. Giannis Boutellis has four in second place. And with a perfect game. Yeah.

[B]

It's Brody Anderson. Wow. All right, bro.

[D]

He's not even paying attention as you call off his positioning bill.

[H]

He knew.

[B]

Yeah, he's the role in a perfect game.

[C]

What's AOH stand for?

[F]

Adult Onset Hunter.

[B]

Oh, good acronym.

[C]

One of them.

[F]

Yep.

[G]

Question 6 the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Ben Ladage. Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar winning Disney film

[D]

and the room is stumped.

[B]

They are stumped. Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar winning Disney film. Phil, do you think you would have gotten this one right as we have six players sitting here with blank white boards?

[H]

Well, I almost. When Yanni said the room is stumped, I almost piped in with not the

[B]

whole room, not the guy looking at the answer.

[D]

Hey.

[B]

Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar winning Disney film. Man, that's all you need to know in the question what could it be? Told you two of the actors the year from Disney and it won two Oscars. How about that? Is it a cartoon? Sarah, do you like your answer?

[A]

Maybe. I don't know. Couldn't tell you.

[E]

Oh, I should know this, but I've tried to wipe Mel Gibson out of my brain. It's too problematic.

[A]

It's probably not Braveheart.

[E]

No, I know, if that helps.

[B]

I don't think that was a Disney flick anyway.

[D]

No, it was probably the same era as Braveheart.

[A]

Yeah, I think so. Pretty probably close.

[E]

Sometime between.

[C]

Give us a clue.

[E]

Lethal Weapon.

[B]

This could ruin Patriots for Brody. Irene Bedard stops Mel Gibson from shooting a bear in this 1995 Oscar winning Disney film.

[C]

This would have been like lethal weapon

[E]

3 or 4 range somewhere in there.

[B]

How old were you, Nate, in 1995? Like negative three.

[F]

95? Yeah. Oh, one, one.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

No, negative one.

[C]

Do you know who Mel Gibson is?

[F]

Yeah, dude, he's star of two of my favorite movies.

[B]

Wow. Ok.

[F]

Braveheart and the Patriot.

[D]

Okay, what's the first one?

[F]

Braveheart Freedom.

[B]

Yanni's got a blank whiteboard. Randall, do you have a blank board?

[D]

I'm not coming up with anything.

[E]

I do, but I don't like it.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

I don't like mine either. I just have a feeling that that Disney is in there for a reason and I can't figure out why.

[B]

Wow. Randall. Yanni. You boys give up?

[E]

Yeah.

[H]

Yep.

[B]

Not gonna come up with a 1995 Oscar winning Disney film. Randall, last chance. No, I didn't do anything.

[F]

What are you talking about?

[B]

I. I don't think Nate saw anything.

[D]

I must have been out fishing when this movie.

[B]

Randall, you give up?

[E]

Yeah, I give up.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni without an answer. Sarah, home on the range. Randall without an answer. Corey says Fox and the Hound. Nate, Davey, Crockett, Brody, the Patriot. Nobody got it. The correct answer is Pocahontas.

[C]

I knew it was a cartoon.

[B]

Oh, do you think of Mel Gibson when you think of Pocahontas? I had no idea.

[H]

I also don't think he's John Smith.

[E]

Oh, is it an animated film?

[H]

It isn't Banger soundtrack.

[E]

Yeah, I don't think of.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Colors will win Oscar winning movies being.

[E]

I don't think of like, you refer to an actor as if Mel Gibson is voicing the character.

[B]

Just a future note, Tom. I was like doing a Toy Story question. I mentioned Tom Hanks.

[H]

It would have been too easy if he said pocahontas stops.

[D]

John Smith.

[A]

Right.

[E]

Yeah. Like if you're.

[B]

I think I was a perfect.

[E]

Yeah. No, I do. I just. I'm not fighting, but I do think that's irresponsible.

[B]

The scene happens during the movie's most famous song, Colors of the Wind. The lyrics carry an environmentalist message with Pocahontas singing quote, you think you own whatever land you land on. The earth is just a dead thing you can claim. But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name.

[F]

It's funny because I'm real hot on Mulan, which is similar era, but not Pocahontas as much.

[B]

Okay, well, put it on your radar. Question 7. The topic is fishing. America's 37th longest river, the Trinity river, is fully located in what state?

[F]

It's like the fourth fishing question we've had.

[B]

This ain't fishing. America's 37th longest river, the Trinity river is fully located in.

[C]

As soon as I heard that 37th, I was like, I know that.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Brody has his answer locked in. Randall wrote something that he's erasing.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I've never heard of this river.

[B]

America's 37th longest river, the Trinity river is fully located in what state? I think if you were real interested in a certain type of fishing, you would know this.

[D]

Now, Spencer, that is a tip I've ever heard one.

[B]

America's 37th longest river, the Trinity river is fully located in what state?

[D]

Certain kind of fishing.

[B]

Randall, do you think you have this one?

[E]

I think I have it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Oh, wait a minute.

[E]

I'm in the neighborhood.

[A]

In the neighborhood.

[B]

That's why it's such a good fishing question.

[F]

Just throw a hint out there. Why not?

[A]

I did.

[C]

Here's a hint. Pick up a fishing rod once in a while.

[F]

Nope. Absolutely not.

[A]

It's a pretty good hint.

[F]

Or a map that would help get good.

[B]

This is question.

[F]

Unfortunately, my river map only goes to top 25.

[B]

You gotta dig deep to get to 37. America's 37th longest river, the Trinity river is fully located in what state?

[E]

The Charlie Crockett song isn't.

[C]

Could be.

[B]

I wouldn't Be aware of it. That could be a hint.

[E]

Phil, would you look that up just to humor me?

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Thank you.

[B]

The Trinity River. That would also be like a fictional river name that, you know, you could.

[E]

There's probably multiple.

[B]

Is everybody ready?

[D]

No. Give me a second.

[B]

Got a 1 in 50 chance. Randall it is.

[E]

Thank you. Thanks.

[F]

Probably not Rhode Island.

[E]

I meant to tell you, you're doing a good job today.

[B]

Oh, thank you.

[E]

Although I wouldn't have let Spencer get away.

[C]

Yeah, you were clutch with that Arctic Char picture film.

[B]

Very important.

[H]

You guys are being so kind.

[B]

Yanni trying to come up with the state.

[E]

Come on, big dog.

[D]

I'm ready.

[B]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says North Carolina. Sarah says Oregon. Randall, Nevada. Corey, California. Nate, New York. Brody, Texas. Brody. Got it. The correct answer is Texas.

[C]

Big old alligator guard down there.

[B]

506 miles. The Trinity river is the same length as the White river that flows through South Dakota and Nebraska. The Trinity's headwaters form outside of Dallas with the river ending at the Gulf. The waterway is famous for its bass, catfish, and as Brody said, it's alligator.

[F]

Gar.

[B]

Big old alligator garlic cigar in the Trinity River.

[E]

Yeah. The Charlie Crockett thing should have tipped me off.

[B]

He wouldn't sing a song about Alaska or Maine.

[E]

Yeah, that's disheartening.

[B]

We are on to question eight. The topic is conservation vibes.

[C]

You vibing, Jeff?

[F]

Still vibing.

[B]

This political commentator said the government is, quote, putting chemicals in the water that turn the fraking frogs gay in 2015.

[F]

This is a trivia question.

[B]

Yeah, I got a. Got a real chuckle out of myself right in this one.

[F]

I should. I should just ask you before I come in, are there more than two fishing questions?

[B]

And then you'll.

[F]

And I'll tell you.

[B]

Yeah. Show up or not. This political commentator said the government is putting chemicals in the water that turned the friggin frogs gay in 2015.

[F]

Man, you could have. You could have done my Napoleon Dynamite faux pas.

[B]

It could have. Yeah. Yeah, it is.

[E]

I almost did it.

[D]

I know.

[F]

It's so tempting.

[A]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how controversial is this figure?

[F]

25.

[B]

Okay, got it.

[A]

That makes me so more. So much more confident.

[B]

Brody, do you have this one right?

[C]

Oh, I don't know. There's a lot of. I feel like there's a lot of people that could fill this role.

[B]

This political commentator said.

[D]

Podcast not giving you any yet.

[F]

Did he say that your head's in the right place.

[B]

We sent them an invite, though, to see if they come and talk about this, the quote is putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin frogs gay. That was said in 2015.

[F]

Oh God. What chemicals? Probably fluoride.

[B]

Sarah, do you have this one?

[F]

I gotta tell you about my convo with the dentist.

[E]

Oh yeah, save that one for dude.

[F]

We got enough dentists writing in about stuff.

[B]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni says Brett Bear. Sarah. Alex Jones Randall. Alex Jones. Corey. Sean Hannity, Nate. Alex Jones Brody. Alex Jones is.

[D]

Alex Jones is one of those foxes guys.

[B]

No, no, no. He's too infowars.

[C]

Guys was the infowars Turn the freaking frog skin.

[B]

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was referencing animal testing that suggested a popular herbicide can cause male frogs to become hermaphrodites. Frogs do experience sex reversal in the wild with biologists saying it's a natural occurrence that can increase due to warm temperatures and exposure to herbicides, pharmaceuticals and road salt.

[F]

So he's right.

[B]

He was. He was right. Referencing this one study that was hard to reproduce. It was done in a lab. And they do say that herbicides, pharmaceuticals and road salts can do it. But frogs do it on their own, naturally. Question nine, the topic is wildlife. Oh, we're going to get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engine.

[E]

Oh, we're not going to play the clip.

[B]

Not going to play because then we'd get sued by who? Is it the Onion that owns him now?

[H]

Yeah, yeah. Tim Idaer.

[B]

Who bought him?

[H]

Brody. Brody's got it locked up. He's, he's got seven points. He's three points ahead of everybody else.

[B]

That's all that matters.

[H]

No, Corey has one point still here. Giannis, Sarah, Randall and Nate all have four points.

[B]

Yeah, look, I don't know if we've seen a three point victory.

[E]

I'm sure we've seen it. No need to marvel at it.

[B]

Question nine, the topic is wildlife. This next great question. Isaac Garlic. The Discovery Channel declared this nine letter bird, quote, the world's most dangerous bird. Well, seems surprised like an opinion. Man, they have been given this title by many places. I saw Nat Geo, the Library of Congress.

[C]

Oh yeah, it's common knowledge. Spencer.

[B]

There we go. I just had to assign it to one of them and I gave it to the Discovery Channel panel who declared this nine letter bird. I kind of want to get one dangerous bird. That'd be good home bird that you

[A]

could see having inside of your house.

[C]

Not in the house, no, but like

[A]

it wouldn't be like insurmountable. Well, yeah, no, it's not like insurmountable to, like, have the pet, though it

[C]

might depend on what state you're in.

[B]

I mean, my favorite Alex Jones ism is that when he was going through the custody battle after a divorce a few years ago, it was during the deposition. He wasn't able to recall some basic facts about his kids, like who their teacher, like who his kid's teacher was or something like that. And his excuse, which is greatest excuse given in the history of humans giving excuses, was that he said, quote, I had a big old bowl of chili for lunch. It gave him like, short term amnesia. He ate too much chili.

[E]

That explains some of my trivia performances.

[B]

She's so good. Now I. I give that excuse to my wife all the time. I can't do it. Got chili brain.

[E]

Is it one word?

[B]

Nine letter bird? I'm not giving you any other hints. The world's most dangerous bird.

[C]

I'll give you a hint. Randall, it's one word.

[A]

It's one word.

[D]

Can't think of a single word.

[C]

Doesn't matter if I give out hints now.

[A]

Yeah, clinched it.

[B]

Brody could double up the room, though, at this point, which I. I do not think we have seen before.

[D]

Yeah, it'd be a real pound.

[B]

You guys could combine your score.

[E]

Well, I had a big old bowl

[D]

of chili for lunch.

[B]

The Discovery Channel declared this nine letter bird is the world's most dangerous bird. Dangerous birds. Boy, if turkeys got this big, be good eating. Oh, I'd be a lot more interested in them. I was thinking like a hummingbird or something. This thing's flying.

[C]

It'd be dangerous game.

[D]

Well, that's not nine letters. Damn it.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Flamingo.

[F]

Oh, no, I think that's the one I just had.

[E]

And it's a bird.

[B]

It's a bird.

[C]

Of course.

[E]

Oh, geez.

[B]

Not getting cute with some flying reptile. Okay, okay, is everybody ready?

[F]

Dude, just a second.

[B]

Just stick a knife in me.

[C]

Oh, come on, let's go.

[B]

Nine. Another bird. Okay, hold on. I think. I think Randall's now trying harder than if he were just in second place. Competing for the victory. Really doesn't want to get doubled.

[E]

I've forgotten what the score is already.

[B]

Well, you're about to get laughed by, bro.

[E]

I'm too busy thinking about AJ.

[B]

Is everybody ready?

[D]

Dangerous.

[C]

I am.

[B]

I've been ready for the most dangerous bird. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yanni without an answer. Sarah without an answer. Randall. Bald eagle. Corey says ostriches. Nate says albatross. Brody says cassowary. He got it. The correct answer is the cassowary. The cassowary is the second heaviest and third tallest bird in the world. Although attacks are rare and they're not overly aggress, do a lot of damage if provoked. Their best weapon is a dinosaur like talon that can disembowel prey and break bones with a single kick. Only two people in recorded history have been killed by a cassowary. Here's a picture of one so you can see just how terrifying. Wow, they really are.

[A]

How big is that?

[E]

That's tough.

[B]

I think they get like 5, 6ft tall.

[C]

Calling in those things, that'd be sweet.

[B]

Whopper.

[D]

I don't know if I've ever heard of a cast.

[F]

Where are they from?

[B]

I think Australia, like Australia's other islands. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was wildlife. Two, Arctic Char. Three, Rabbit sporting Clays. Four, Mermaid's Purse. Five, Salt. Six, Pocahontas. Seven. Texas. Eight, Alex Jones. Nine. Cassowary. Phil, scoreboard update.

[H]

As if we needed one. This might be one of the bigger blowouts in meteor trivia history. One question left.

[F]

I thought you had two wrong. Brody.

[B]

He only has one wrong.

[H]

But Brody has double the score of any.

[E]

Oh, we're still.

[D]

We're still playing.

[B]

Question left, question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This last great question is via Mike Sheffer. Pecan mocker, nut, pignut, bitternut, shellback and shag bark are all types of this tree. If we're doing a fish example, it'd be like Blue channel and flathead are all types of this fish. Catfish. For this one, it's pecan mocker, nut, pig nut, bitternut, shellback and shag bark are all types of this tree.

[F]

You ever climbed up a shag bark with a climber?

[D]

Not that I know of for sure.

[B]

Better wear protection.

[F]

Loud.

[D]

I bet.

[B]

Nate, you got this one right?

[F]

I think so.

[B]

Brody, do you have this one right?

[C]

I'm pretty sure I do.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

You know all those hints that Nate's trying to drop for everyone?

[F]

Everybody ready?

[D]

God forbid.

Hickory, Brody.

The correct answer is hickory.

Most hickories produce a fruit at twig t clusters of 3 to 5. These fruits are covered in a hard shell and husk. Hickories have a long tap root that makes them highly drought tolerant. The Forest Service says the states that produce the most hickory Lumber are Kentucky, West Virginia and Louisiana. All right, that makes Brody our winner today with nine correct answers.

[C]

Wasn't that not a clap in the room?

[B]

Just hammered the rest of the room. You could combine Sarah, Randall and Corey and they only would have tied Brody today.

[F]

What?

[B]

Tell you what, Sarah, Randall and Corey. Sorry, they got nine combined. Well done, Brody. What are you gonna do with that $500?

[C]

We talked about the Lai. Let's throw it in the Lai.
