This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. Hey, you might ask, do you need camel on your feet in camp? And I'd say need probably not. There are generally no deer in camp. If you got deer in your camp, I want to hear about it because that sounds like a sweet camp. But still, we made two shoes with hay dude in first light specter camel anyway, not because you need it just because it's cool. The wally funk and the wally slip camp because it's the pattern we love and we wanted something comfortable and ultra light weight for when we're done hunt, okay? Out now at haydude.com and the meat eater store. It's a limited run, so get your feet cozy now. 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 Janis, Brody, Randall, Nate, Sarah, and Corey. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. All right, we have a mail bag question to start today's show. If you have a question, you want the crew to answer, send your question with the subject line mail bag to trivia at the meat eater dot 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 I have no one to go with, Nord learned from any suggestions for someone getting back into it, such as where to 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. All right. Can I go first? Yes. You practiced a little bit with this question before we started, but I didn't read the email earlier. That's why I had no idea about his squirrel hunting, but that right there is a 100% where he should just pick right back up. He chose a good place to start. Did he include where he's from? He did not say. But if he's only going to get one gun, I'd go shotgun, not 22. He says he can only afford one gun right now. He didn't say that. He says I've considered getting a Henry 22 and going for squirrel on local public lands. I'd assume he's just going to buy one new gun. Esthetically, it's most pleasing. Okay. But if you want versatility, get yourself a 20 gauge. Okay. Yeah. Maybe one. You can swap barrel so you can shoot a deer because that's what he wants to do is you give himself some things. What's they to say? What's they say? They not say where he's from. Nate Mason. When did you kill your first year? That would have been 2020. Shot it. Shot it with a bow. Age. Oh, man. 24. Age 24. Okay. 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. 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 will set you up for success. But kind of coming to you for that though. Yeah. I mean, I get what you're saying, dude, you got to come prepared. You're going to get more out of it, but you don't know how to prepare if you're a new hunter. Okay. If you're a new hunter, fixing to kill a deer, do you have the freezer space? Like, there's a good point. Yeah. Just chat, GPT, 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 10 things. You do five of those things. That guy will be so stoked and so much more likely to help you. 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 program. I went to a hunter 101 thinking I just wanted to shoot pigs with an AR-15. And this guy, Lyle Avis, huge meat eater 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. As Brody said, the state orgs have a lot of mentorship programs as do conservation orgs, NWTF, Roughed Grouse Society, National Deer Association, International Hunter Education Association, or MEF, BHA. They all have something like that that will hook you up with someone who knows what they're doing. They're the old timers at the shooting range. 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 fans 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 public service and all that. You're going to have a better luck, like at a field day with, with people who are volunteering for Fish and Wildlife. And you are, like, the gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse or whatever. Yeah. Can I have one more thing for you move on, Spencer? Go out there by yourself, like, don't be scared, like, go do this, like, as important as a mentor is, like, you can go learn a lot, just going out there and then make a mistakes by yourself. So, like, don't be afraid to go out in the woods. Yeah. And 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 somebody like this, specifically with, like, YouTube, as someone who picked up a new outdoor hobby, like during COVID, which was rock counting. I didn't know anything about that. I didn't know anybody who was a rock count. I, I liked it a lot of my learning through YouTube. My God, Spencer. I thought you were a lifelong rock count. I was always rock curious. I was seeing a rock and be like, what is that thing? I'd like to know if I can have that. I already got it. It's special. It was really COVID that was like, okay, I think I'm going to get into this thing. Anyway, there was a lot. Now your house is full of rocks. My house is mostly rock. It would be like Spencer. Yes. You can, you can learn a lot on YouTube. The other thing I would say, it is a true, like, bonafide statistic. I don't remember if it was via the National Shooting Sports Foundation or the US Fish Wireless 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, Steven 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 serious. This, I do this or I did this when I got on X for the first time. I was like, okay, where are all the new hearts that on X is really great for that. You might find a place you can hunt. Search your bosses. Why is that there? Why not do 23 and me? Absolutely. Like it. This, having a place to hunt is the hardest part about hunting. That's just a fact. So on X, I think the $30 you can spend on that is well worth it. And then we also have an article on the meat eater.com that Brody wrote in 2020 how to find a hunting mentor. She does a lot. You'll learn some tips there. There you go. All right. 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% or the proceeds going to the meat eater land access initiative. Brody tell folks about the LAI and all the good work. Yeah. It was launched back in 2020. I don't know if it was part of the Renella Patelus campaign promise. But back in 2020, we created it to increase public access for hunting fishing and all forms to 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 and Maine. That was an area in Kingfield township that was going to 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 150,000 acre conservation eases. It's opened up a bunch of access to a bunch of land. Wildcat Ben and Montana was after that, a bunch of access on the Yellowstone River. Then a 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 Tuckertown game lands in North Carolina for 2026. 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 Newcomme, a tanned bear hide from Clay Newcomme fly fishing memorabilia from leftie cray, a DOS boat motor. That's a 150 V tech outboard left over 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, a box of rocks, fossils and gemstones from my personal collection and much, much more. That's all happening right now with the meat eater dot com slash 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 tribute. - I'm a forgot we were here for tribute. - Played it up. - It was great. - Bit for a while. - I need to know what I stand to win. - To everything. How's that? - It was time to win everything. (upbeat music) - Game on, suckers. - Question one, the topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Logan Leathero, presenting this great question. Logan is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. All right, the topic is conservation. This is multiple choice. Besides the word department, what is the most commonly used word in the name of each state's game agency? Is it resources, fish, conservation, or wildlife? So it's besides the words department, the and and. Those are one, two, and three. We're looking for fourth place. What is the most commonly used word in the name of each state's game agency? - This is a great question. That's why it's our listener question of the week. So department, the and and are one, two, and three. We're looking for fourth. Resources, fish, conservation, wildlife. (keyboard clicking) Yanni, how you doing? I thought he's got his USA shirt on today. Is that your go-to USA shirt? - Yeah, it's my fourth of July outfit. - Oh, okay. It's still rocking on the six of July. - My kids made it. Well, yeah, 'cause the U.S. of A is playing Belgium today and figured where the colors are. - There we go. - With their full roster. - Yeah. - Who? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Does everybody ready? - I know what it is. - Oh, I'm not, I'm not ready. - Is it resources, fish, conservation, or wildlife? - I feel like we got good vibes in the room today. - Okay. What do you think about that, Brody? - Well, for who? - I don't know. - You're gonna be good vibes for everyone. - Just generally. - This is good that you feel that way. - Wait, not Yanni. - We'll see if you feel that way. Six or seven questions from you. - Probably not. - Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yannis saying fish. Sarah, fish, Randall Fish. Corey wildlife, Nate resources, Brody wildlife. The correct answer is wildlife. - Oh, trust it out. - I think we had two of our six players get that one after the words department, the and the most commonly used word for state game agencies is wildlife, which appears in 32 of 50 states. That's followed by the word natural, 24 times, resources, 21, fish, 19, game, 14, and conservation, five. California is the most recent state to add the word wildlife to their name, going from the California Department of Fish and Game to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2013. - They had fish? - They had fish, then they added wildlife. - You never thought about the game versus wildlife thing. - That was kind of what was going through my head when I picked fish. - Yeah, 32 of 50 states have the word wildlife in their name. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Pam Corwin. This appropriately named fish, which resembles a Donnelly Vardin, is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world. - Fuck it. - I don't know. - Anything that the fuck is asking, man. - It's pretty high up there. - Sarah Brody Randall all quick to answer. - Which I knew what a Donnelly Vardin is. - Well, after they're here, it's a character from a Dickens novel. - Oh. - We will show you a picture of a Donnelly Vardin and this fish. - So there you go. - There should be a, I'm not gonna talk. - Okay. - This is question to this appropriately named fish, which resembles a Donnelly Vardin, is the northernmost freshwater fish in the world. Randall, have you ever caught one of these? - No. - No, okay. - Well, for six in this, we've caught some Dolly's. - Phil, would you look up, is it David Copperfield? - Sure, I'll get right on that. - Please, the book. - Yeah, I'm trying to remember where Donnelly Vardin. - I didn't know that that's where that came from. - Oh yeah, that's trivia. - That is from Charles Dickens' 1841 historical novel, Barnaby Rudge. - Oh. - Okay, so it's not trivia, it's wrong trivia. - Yeah. - Well, it's, it's from a Dickens novel. - It is, you got it. - That was a good pull. - It's a half point. - She'll be in this. - I've always wanted to make that a trivia fish, which resembles a Donnelly Vardin. - Man, it's tough not being an angler, isn't it? - It's an angler. - I'm gonna ride in and ask how to become an adult Hansa angler, dude. - It's not that hard. - Well, you have a strike against you since you don't drink beer, Nate. - No. - That's a crucial part. - No, it's not. - No, it's not. - Being an adult angler. - Not if you want to be a good adult angler. - No. - Yeah. - Randall said he couldn't go with him. - I didn't say that. - I'm making up for it. - Brody said he wouldn't want to go with me, I think. - I'll be fishing, you know. - Probably like six. - Cabbage. - There's everybody ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. - No way. - No way, dude. - Randall and Randall saying Arctic Char, Corey says bull trout, Brody and Nate say Arctic Char. - To the guy. - To the guy. - Let's go. - The correct answer is the Arctic Char. Well done. - You're in the same fly fishing guy, eh? - Never seen an Arctic Char. - They looked like dollars. - So I never heard of it. - They used to say, oh, the same damn thing. - I thought they were the same thing. - Arctic Char, dollies, bull trout. - I bet the flavor text will tell us. - The northernmost population of Arctic Char is found on Ellsmear 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. There's a picture of you showing the difference between Arctic Char. - Oh man, you can do better than that. - You can do more. You can see that you talk and see run Arctic Char. - That looks like evidence. - Man. - They also look like a bull trout. - See run. - See run. - Okay. - See run Arctic Char. - The Arctic Char has a wide variance of colors that they produce. This one is more on the planet, silver side. - Yeah, it's also looks like it's from there. - They can produce some real good color. All right, while Phil looks that up, we'll move on to question this to me. - Oh yeah, look at this from me, man. - The sea run suckers. They get big. - I got a green one. - Beautiful. - Yeah, the Arctic Char can look like a lot of different salmonid species. At different points in their development. Question three that's obvious haunting. - We'll get back to that. - In sporting clays, the discs that erratically roll and bounce across the ground are named after this animal. Sarah and Nate Brody Randall all quick to answer. - They suck to hit. - Sarah signed up for a sporting clays tournament. - Okay. - I signed up for a sporting clays tournament. - Now do you shoot these in sporting clays or not? - Yeah, oh yeah. - There's some stations that have 'em. - Yeah, not every station, but they're awesome. - And do you think these are, how do these rank among the hardest to hit? - They're hard to hit. - Hard. - 'Cause they bounce erratically. - They do, they like kick. - In sporting clays. - Some courses will set 'em intentionally so they kick up and you have to 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? We have the whole room saying, "Rabbit except Koryu says, "Pigeon." The correct answer is, "Rabbit." Or Bonnie, 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 challenge to 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. - Is this your C-Run Arctic Charoon? - Yeah, that's a good one. - I don't know who that man is. - That other thing out there, I don't know what that was but that's an Arctic Charoon. - The other one was not running to the sea. That was just a sad, sad, not that one. - Boy, that is a beauty. - The trick for those rabbits is to aim for the front foot. It's a clay that's round but you have to think about hitting the front foot and it gets your eyes in the right spot. - I just close my eyes and squeeze the trick. (laughing) - Question four, 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. - Hmm. Yani, do you have this one right? Yeah, I got a good guess. I'm not gonna say that I think one of the very first animals that I killed on a hunt was a rabbit, be a 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 shit. Like it all worked, you know? So I feel whenever I hit a clay. Wow. Wow. Are the rabbits or are they always coming across you or they ever like going away from you? They're never going straight away. They're typically always crossing but sometimes they'll kind of cross away. I had no idea those existed. Yeah, they suck. Clearly. Hard to hit. We have some of these. You have some of these. I think so. Oh, I'm so jealous. I'd like. Yeah. Yeah. I'll find a big one up. I'll give you some. They always pick them up on the beach in North Carolina. Yeah. Your first answer should be. I'm an aspiring teacher. Whenever I'm on the coast now, I'm always bringing home trash. It's like the rock hound forager in me. Oh, yeah. Have not found one of these. You should go sharks. You talked with Jennifer. Oh, that's funnier. She came home with hundreds. I found 209 in my last batch. Damn. Yes, smoked my brother. Suck you. Extra gems. Give it what state? Maryland. Well, Virginia actually, but the same time. You get any big ones. They all look great white, but it depends on what you mean by big. I use like that big. That's a big tooth. But people are thinking mag teeth. 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 on the size of his palm. That's the dream, dude. Yeah. Man, I want to necklace with that. Is everybody ready? A mermaid's blank is the common name for the leathery case. Or the leathery egg case laid by sharks and skates. Yani says purse. Sarah says tail. Randall purse. Cory. Scale. Nate. Tail. Brody. Yeah. The correct answer is a mermaid's purse bomber. Yeah. 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 sharks 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, Yani. No wonder I'm doing so good. There you go. Well, good luck and sea blessings. Nate, how are those vibes? Great. Yeah. I'm still. I'm still enjoying myself. I've got Arctic char. You can't ice that. I could get the rest wrong and I believe this room happy. Money can't buy that. No. In an Arctic char. No. And we're looking at a mermaid's purse now. Question five. 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. Brody came up with an answer. Brody, do you think you agree with Martha Stewart? I'm trying to. Yeah. It's not sure. It's my rough. I thought your questions are really good. This one's not so good. This might ruffle some feathers. But the whole soap and cast iron thing only really applies to old cast iron. That's right. And you can use soap on new cast iron. If you look at Lodge's website when they tell you how to clean cast iron, they tell you to use soap. Yeah, I'm going to leave it. It has to. It was the like the older soaps what they had mine them and it like eight away cast iron. It still feels naughty. I respect the tradition. I don't use soap. I absolutely 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? Nope. I have an abrasive substance. What? There's a lot of those. Brody's going back to his whiteboard after he declared that he wasn't going to change his answer. Yani, Corey coming up with their answer. Yani, are you ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal answers. We have Yani saying salt, Sarah salt, Randall baking soda, Corey sand, Nate salt, Brody salt. The correct answer is salt. Nice. How's between that and chain mail? According to Martha Stewart, it's best to just clean cast iron with hot water. And if the build up is bad for each result, 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. I'm going to try it. I've never tried it. I've used the salt and it got rid of some rust for me. So it's worth a shot. The diamond or the Morton's kosher? Really, really coarse? Yeah. Yeah, why box is that stuff in our house? I prefer a diamond, but Morton's in this case. Randall, I think there are people who do use baking soda. Yeah, I bet there are. But that seems like a great answer. Not Martha Stewart. And sand works great if you're not in a kitchen. It is abrasive. Yeah, it's a fishing guide. You've done that on the side of the river before. My Arctic Char fishing guide is. Bell, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Here in half time. Cory. Fallen way behind. He's got one point. I think I'm elsewhere mentally at the moment. He's like it. We've got Sarah Randall and Nate with three points of peace. Yannis Brutelis has four in second place and with a perfect game. Yeah, it's probably interesting. Wow. I probably say I'm in pain attention as you call off his positioning. He knew. He knew. Yeah, he knew. He used to have the role in a perfect game. What's a OH stand for? A doldom set hunter. Oh. Good afternoon. Not a bad question. Yep. Blood Trails is a true crime podcast born in the outdoors. Hunting trips, remote cabins, quiet mornings in the woods. Places, people go to get away. But instead, get more than they bargained for. And then all of a sudden, my buddy is radioing back and saying, you know, we're hit on bring guns. I believe someone at the cabin knew something happened to know. Who throws their dead family member in a suburban and drives him straight to the funeral home. The husband of this dead wife immediately calling his mistress from the funeral home. When Brian finally gave up the body, his body was found on my turkey lease. So for four or five or six years, I sat probably within a hundred yards of Mike's body. Murder, disappearance, betrayal, and questions that refuse to stay buried. I'm Jordan Sillers and this is Blood Trails. Get season three now wherever you listen to podcasts. Plus, check out the brand new Blood Trails TV YouTube channel.

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 whiteboard? When Johnny said the room is stamped, I almost piped in with not the whole room. Not the guy looking at the answer. Hey. Well, I almost, when Johnny said the room is stamped, I almost piped in with not the whole room. 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? Maybe, I don't know. Couldn't tell you. No, I should know this. But I've tried to wipe Mel Gibson out of my brain. It's too problematic. It's probably not Braveheart. No, I know. I don't think that was Disney flick anyway. It was probably the same era as Braveheart. Pretty, probably close. Give us a clue, lethal weapon. Could really try a game for Brody. winning Disney film. This would have been like, lethal weapon three or four. Yeah. Somewhere in there. How old were you Nate in 1995? Like negative three? 95? Yeah. Oh, one. One. Okay. No, negative one. Do you know how his mouth gets in us? Yeah, dude. He's star two of my favorite movies. Wow. Okay. Uh, uh, we did. Brave part of the Patriot. Okay. What's the first one? Brave heart. Gianni's got a blank whiteboard. Randall, do you have a black icon? Yeah, I'm coming up with anything. I do, but I don't like it. Wow. 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. Wow. Randall, Gianni, you boys give up? Yeah. Yep. Not going to come up with the 1995 Oscar-winning Disney film. Randall, last chance. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't do anything. What are you talking about? I don't think Nate saw anything. I must have been outpatient when this movie. Randall, you give up? Yeah, I give up. Gianni without an answer. Sarah, home on the range. Randall without an answer. Corey says some fox in the town. Nate, Davey Crockett, Brody, the Patriot. Nobody got it. The correct answer is Pocahontas. New was a cartoon. Do you think of Mel Gibson when you think of Pocahontas? No, I had no idea. I also don't think he's John Smith. Is it an animated film? Yeah. I don't think of Color's the one. Oscar-winning movies being. I don't think of like you refer to an actor as if Mel Gibson is voicing the character. I just don't like your note. Tom, if I was like doing a toy story question, I mentioned Tom Hanks. It would be too easy if he said Pocahontas stops John Smith. I think I was a pervert. Yeah. No, I do. I'm not fighting, but I do think that's irresponsible. The scene happens during the movie's most famous song, "Colors of the Wind," the lyrics carry an environmentalist message with Pocahontas singing, "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." It's funny because I'm real hot on Mulan, which is similar era, but not Pocahontas as much. Okay, well put it on your radar. Question seven, the topic is fishing. America's 37th longest river, the Trinity River, is fully located in what state? It's like the fourth fishing question we've had. As soon as I heard that 37th, I was like, "I know that!" Brody has his answer locked in, Randall wrote something that he's erasing. I've never heard of this river. I think if you were real interested in a certain type of fishing, you would know this one. No Spencer. That is a tip. America's 37th longest river, the Trinity River is fully located in what state? Certain kind of fishing. I think I have it. I'm in the neighborhood. That's why it's such a good fishing question. Just throw a hint out there. Why not? Here's a hint. Pick up a fish and ride once for a while. No, absolutely not. It's a pretty good hint for a map. That would help. This is a question. Unfortunately, my river map only goes to top 25. You got to dig deep to get the 37th. This is a Charlie Crockett song, isn't it? It could be. I wouldn't be aware of it. That could be a hint. Phil, would you look that up just to humor me? The Trinity River, that would also be like a fictional river name. There's probably multiple. Is everybody ready? No, give me a second. I've got a 150 chance. Randall, it is. Thank you. Probably not, Rhode Island. I meant to tell you you're doing a good job today. No, thank you. Although I wouldn't have let Spencer get away. Yeah, you were clutched for that RX-R picture film. Very important. Yes, we're being so kind. Yani trying to come over the state. Come on, big guy. Yani says North Carolina, Sarah says Oregon, Randall, Nevada, Cordy, California, Nate, New York, Brody, Texas, Brody got it. The good idea is Texas. A big ol' alligator guard in there. 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. As Brody said, it's alligator guard, a big ol' alligator guard in the Trinity River. Yeah, the Charlie Crockett thing should have tipped me off. He wouldn't sing a song about Alaska or Maine. Yeah, that's disheartening. We are on to question eight. The topic is conservation. Vibes, you biben? Yeah, that's no biben. This political commentator said the government is, quote, putting chemicals in the water that turned the friggin frogs gay in 2015. This is a trivia question. Yeah, I got a real chuckle out of myself right in this one. I should just ask you before I come in. Are there more than two fishing questions? And then you'll know what you're going to say. 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. Man, you could have done my Napoleon dynamite faux pas. I could have. Yeah, I almost did it. I know it's so tempting. On a scale of 1 to 10, how controversial is this figure? 25. Okay, got it. That makes me so much, so much more confident. Brody, do you have this one right? Ooh, I don't know. There's a lot of people that could fill this role. This political commentator said the government's not giving you any advice. Did you say their heads in the right place? We sent them an invite to see if they can come and talk about this. The quote is putting chemicals in the water that turned the friggin frogs gay. That was said in 2015. Oh, probably fluoride. Sarah, do you have this one? I'm going to tell you about my combo with the dentist. Oh, yeah. Save that one for now. Yeah, dude, we got enough dentist riding in about stuff. It's everybody ready? Yanny says Brett Bear. Sarah, Alex Jones, Randall, Alex Jones, Corey, Sean Hannity, Nate, Alex Jones, Brody, Alex Jones. Don't break the answer. Is Alex Jones one of those box guys? No, he's too hot. He's the info wars guy. Was the info wars, dude, friggin frogs. 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. He was 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. I'm going to play the clip. I'm not going to play the clip. Then we'd get sued by who's it? The onion that owns him now? Yeah, my decker. Brody's got him locked up. He's got seven points. He's three points ahead of everybody else. That's all that matters. No, Corey has one point. Still here in question. Yana Sarah Randall and they don't have four points. I don't know. We've seen a three point victory. I'm sure we've seen it. No need to marvel at it. It's next great question. The discovery channel declared this nine-letter bird, quote, "the world's most dangerous bird." Well, it seems to be just like an opinion man. They've been given this title by many places. I saw Matt Geo, the Library of Congress. Oh, yeah, that's common knowledge. There we go. I just had to assign it to one of them and I gave it to the discovery channel who declared this nine-letter bird. Dangerous world. I kind of want to get one dangerous bird. It'd be good home protection. You could see having inside of your house Not in the house. No, but like it wouldn't be like insurmountables It's not like insurmountable to like have the pet though Might depend on what state you're in I mean My favorite Alex Jones is um is that when he was going through the custody to 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 who like who his kids teacher was or something like that And his excuse which is greatest excuse given in in the history of humans giving excuses was that he said Quote, I had a big ol bowl of chili for lunch It gave him like short-term amnesia because he ate too much chili That explains so much trivia performance. She's so good. Now. I give that excuse to my wife all the time Yeah, I can't do it that chili brain. Is it one word? Nine letter bird. I'm not giving you any other hints. Hmm. The world's most dangerous I'll give you one word One word matter if I give out his now Clear Brody could double up the room though at this point, which I do not think we have seen before yeah It'd be a real pound you guys could combine your score.

I'm too busy thinking about AJ There's everybody ready dangerous Most dangerous bird go ahead and reveal your answers. Yani without an answer. Oh Sarah without an answer Randall bald eagle Cory says ostriches Nate says Elbatross Brody says Casawerry. He got it The correct answer is the Casawerry the Casawerry is the second heaviest and third tallest bird in the world Although attacks are rare and they're not overly aggressive. They 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 Casawerry. Here's a picture of one so you can see just how terrifying Wow, how big is that? That's tough. They get like five six feet tall Calling in those things. That'd be sweet Older walker. I don't know. Have I ever heard of a Casawerry? Where are they from? 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 mermaids purse Five salt six Pocahontas seven Texas eight Alex Jones nine Casawerry fill scoreboard update as if we needed one This might be one of the bigger blow outs and be your trivia history.
