I'm your host, Spencer Newark, and today we're joined by Brody, Cory, Nate, Omar, Sarah, and John. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Mediter's Four Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There's a prize. Mediter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We're starting today's show with a mail bag question. If you want the crew to answer your questions, send an email to
[email protected], the subject line mail bag. This is from Eric from York. He says, "Any advice for staying warm on a cold winter hunt without overheating?" I hunt northern PA, and I usually walk one to two miles in, then have long cold sits, usually posted up in some sort of downfall. Any tips or gear suggestions to keep you warm without fully overheating first. John, you work at the flagship store, downtown Boseman. If Eric from York came into the store and told you his conundrum, what advice would you give him? Well, the first thing I would say is to- Double PA guy. Yes. Yes, grew up in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. I would say pay attention to that next to skin layer first. You have to keep yourself dry, and I just know from my experience, as soon as that next to skin layer gets soaked, it's game over for pretty much the entire day. My recommendation would be, "What are you going to a tree stand or a ground blind? You're going to hike in with the least amount of stuff possible. Keep your body dry. It's going to be cold. It's going to be uncomfortable. But once you get to your stand or wherever you're hunting, I think he said he was sitting in like a pile of blowovers. Downfall. Like that. Downfall? Yep. Once you get there, take a second, let your body kind of dry out, vent, and then put on your heavier clothes. It's easier to be miserable for one hour hiking in than for the entire 12-day sit. I would also recommend driving to your spot, whether you're leaving from camp or anything. Don't put the heater on full blast when you're going from point A to point B or going to a trailhead or whatever. That makes your feet sweat, and I've learned that the hard way as well. That catches up to you pretty quick. Brody, any advice for this other PA hunter? No, I think John got it. I mean, the main thing is height, cold, like, and you're not even going to be cold for that long. It's like minus 40 degrees or something. You can hike in 2015-20 degree weather with a base layer as you're an upper layer and maybe some LJs and pants, but like, height, cold. The other thing I would say is don't be afraid to build a fire, man. My dad and his buddies used to hunt like the mountains and Pennsylvania all the time, and they would stand around a fire often, and they killed bucks doing it. Don't be afraid to pack an extra set of base layers with you too. If you absolutely think you're not going to make it through the entire day without sweating, have a dry set of weak base layers to go. It's just like a fact of life. If you're sitting still for 10 hours, you're going to get cold. I don't think there's any amount of layering that's going to get you around. You're going to get cold, so you're going to have to get up and walk around now. Any other advice for Eric? A big proponent of taking the truck heater thing a step further and never driving in the socks that I'm going to wear into the field. Change the socks to the truck before you leave. They're going to get sweaty. Your driving crock shoes come in handy. Oh, yeah. Well, you got to have the driving shoes, the hiking shoes. Big muff guy. Put a muff on. I love a hand muff. Dude, I bought the Maldon first light. Yeah. FHF both came out with one. FHF guy, big fan, but whatever muff keeps your hands warm and then your fingers are nice and dexterous when you need to pull a trigger. Especially if you're like bow hunting or turkey hunting, we feel like you really need your fingers. Handmuffs are great. As the other folks said, layers so important, I love hand-in-tell warmers. I know some people like Cal absolutely hate them. They're like created by the devil himself, but they work and they're cheap and effective. And I find, you know, toes and hands are the first thing to get cold and those will get you through like a bad 30-minute stretch. They're also not heavy. There's rechargeable ones that exist. Yeah. My dad used those rechargeable ones. Yeah. Like Zippo has one. Yeah. There's going to be just plug a battery into, or they are a battery. I don't know if they still make them like that. Actually light them. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. I got a crazy one. What about using a, I'm not recommending this, but Tom Brady in his game. His game's in cold games would use a wetsuit and I'm wondering if that would be interesting at all. The wetsuit has to get water in it too. I'm not. You got to sweat. You have to sweat so much. You have to run to get to work. The last one I would say is I had a beer for like eight years and then I got rid of it like two years ago. And what a difference that made. Like a beer genuinely keeps your face warmer when it's really cold out. It made a difference. I don't know what your facial hair situation is Eric, but like a beard in the fall is much better than. It's a good camel. That's nice. Yeah. Doesn't work for me. It's about as bearded as I get. Any other advice from Eric or for Eric? Yeah. Think about a downkit, down pants and down jacket, packs tight and light. Really light. A little birdie told me first light might be coming out with a new white tail specific jacket. Oh, pants and maybe something for your feet. This fall. All right. All right. We have some housekeeping. There's one week left in the auction house of oddities. We have a prohibit a kayak, bear hide, handmade boat, dinosaur earrings, a boat motor, side books, side board games and more. All the money goes to the meat eater land access initiative, which creates more public access for hunters and anglers. Go check out the auction block at the meat eater dot com slash auction. Did you get a bid on that boat motor yet? There's one bid. A singular bid. That's the last great deal in that auction. It is. It's even still a good deal. It could go up a few thousand dollars and some was still going to come away feeling like they won. All right. The Shelby index for today is a four so our winners should get eight correct answers with that. We're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. Question one, the topic is natural history. This first great question is via Titus McKenny according to the national drought mitigation center, which of these states was hit hardest by the dust bowl. Is it Illinois, Oklahoma, Wyoming or Ohio? Quick answers from Nate Brody, Cory, according to the national drought mitigation center, which of these states was hit hardest by the dust bowl. Is it Illinois, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Ohio, some quick answers. You look quieter today. Are you bringing the vibes like you do? No, I'm bringing the heat, you know, I was thinking, I'm just like, you just like locked in, dude. I'm going to be real bummed if I get this one wrong. Me too. I feel like the first question, when you feel good about it and you get it wrong, you might as well just leave. No. Get in your four states, Illinois, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Ohio, which was hit the hardest by the dust bowl. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers, Cory and Sarah and Omar. The whole room says Oklahoma, the whole room got it right, well done room, the correct answer is Oklahoma. Was that a reading? Anybody else in the reading club? Graves or math? Oh, Steinbeck, he loved right about the dust, that's why I got that right. Although the dust bowl was felt across North America, the six states hit the hardest were Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Those six states became known as the dust bowl states. It's estimated that 2.5 million people migrated out of the dust bowl states during the 1930s, creating one of the largest migrations in American history. Here's a map from national geographic showing the driest areas. The general dust bowl zone stretches from like Lubbock, Texas to Denver, Colorado to Lincoln, Nebraska, but ground zero is the Oklahoma panhandle and then just that general region. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Garrett Houston. This morbid term is defined as "a fishing technique where the bait, lure or fly flows naturally with the water's current."
Sarah, Cory and Brody all like their answer. This morbid term is defined as a fishing technique where the bait, lure, or fly flows naturally with the water's current. Not all overrated. It is not. No, it's not overrated. 20 years guidance says it is. Wow. Overrated. There is going to be some controversial language here in the flavor text then. You guys can do it out. Got something here that would say it's not overrated. Angler Nate, do you have this one right? No, of course not. Dude, I feel, you know, think about this after I got just jeraxed the last time. I think I should get double on fish. You know, when you see someone like, like Brody goes and runs a marathon, you know, like cool, bro, that's really impressive. Yeah. It'd be like running a marathon without legs. Like that's how whatever I'm playing trivia, that's how it is. Well, you just got to learn how to fish and get good. Grow some legs. See legs. No. It's everybody ready. It's just a bunch of you being a crybaby. Yeah. It's like it's nobody else's fault. It's nobody else that can compete without a whole vertical. No, listen, it's nobody else's fault that you're like an incomplete outdoorsman. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just a victim, dude. My dad never took me fishing. Hmm. How about that? I didn't. My dad didn't take me. God, daddy issues over fishing. Yeah, it's everybody ready. Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answer. No way, dude. Let's go. And Sarah say dead drift. Oh, my God. Without an answer, John Nate and Brody say dead drift. No. They got it. The correct answer is dead drift. Three to two. Other names to this fishing technique is drag free drift or natural drift. Dead drifting could be could describe a wild eye angler using a bottom bouncer or a fly fisherman throwing a dry fly hatch magazine says that mastering the dead drift with any presentation is quote the ultimate challenge in fly fish. How is dragging a bottom bouncer around a dead drift? If you were just going with the current, if you were just like letting the wind push you, I call that a dead drift, just naturally going. So hatch magazine calls it the ultimate challenge in fly fishing. Brody and Sarah disagree with each other. We do. I think it's actually I can tell you that hundreds of not very skilled clients cut thousands of trout. Okay. Without using a dead drift. I'm not saying that you don't sometimes I'd be like, don't mend it. Like you don't want to get a dead drift. Okay. It's not that you don't catch trout without a good drag free drift. But with the majority, like if you're fishing small flies and light tackle, like dead bugs don't swim. And you know, like dead bugs don't swim. The live ones do. They say, Oh, there's one. No, they like it more rare than they overdone. But like if you're fishing like two little tiny nymphs and light tackle, we can any little tiny drag your fish. The column in which your flies should be. Corey, what do you think? I would agree that that could be the pinnacle of a fly fisherman's ability to get a perfect dead drift. But that doesn't always work. Okay. Like with bobber fishing, I think the difference between like locking into fish and consistently catching fish is a really, really good drag free drift. Emerging nymphs. I would say that I didn't wait guy much. And I hated nymph fishing. Well, yeah, that's what the bobber. Yeah. He's a purist. The majority of I would say like looking back half the strikes when I had people nymphing with a bobber, half the strikes came after the drift like ended and the flies started to oh, this starts. Yeah, absolutely. But like, that's not a dead drift. It's not a dead drift. Everyone locks. Yep. I think, I think most fly anglers just locked their way into fish relatively consistently. I think so. Question four. Excuse me, question three. The topic is foraging. You hold their time buddy. I got more. But foraging the blank cherry, which is known for its extremely tart taste, is the state fruit of North Dakota. I told you, I'm locked in and that's that's one word, the blank cherry, which is known for its extremely tart taste, is the state fruit of North Dakota. Nate, I feel like instead of asking for extra points when you get fishing questions, right? You should just learn how to fish. And then no one's going to give you any. Sarah is begging to teach you how to fish. I feel like I've seen this play out in multiple episodes now. That's wrong. Don't get ready. Just dude, if I had all the time in the world, I would love to go fishing. It's like, it's such a good shoulder season thing. You know what else it's great for. Tell me, you're going to have a little kid just take him to the hall. See, I've been thinking about that. Dude, that's the only thing that's going to be excited. Yeah, don't do it. You're going to do it. Yeah, dude, maybe I can stop the cycle. Yeah. Just do that. I'm telling you, learn from our elders. The blank cherry, which is known for its extremely tart taste, is the state fruit of North Dakota. John, do you have this one right? I don't think so. Omar, do you have this one right? I don't think so either. Cory without an answer. Oh, that's not true. Oh, okay. Oh, Nate, Sarah, and Brodie, like what they have. Oh, I don't know. I know. I know. I have something came and we'll see. The blank cherry, which is known for its extremely tart taste is the state fruit. I'm between two. I just had some cherries too, but I think they're from Washington. Yeah. Rainier, Jerry's are good. We're in black. Everybody ready? How do you get the biscuit? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Cory says black cherry, Sarah choke. Omar, black, John, black, Nate choke, Brodie choke. The correct answer is the choke cherry. What's going on? Let's go. Nate and Brodie and Sarah got that one right. The taste of a choke cherry is described as being dry, sharp, sour and bitter. They are rarely eaten raw, but can be turned into jellies and syrups. Natives would put them into pemican and pudding with the inner bark being used in tea to cure sore throats. Choke cherry trees are native to 41 states. Here's a picture of a choke cherry right there. You need those things raw and you wonder what bears are thinking. Yeah. Yeah. I have a choke cherry in my yard. It's one of the most common trees in my whole neighborhood and they taste awful. The part where they say it makes your mouth dry is legitimate. Your mouth is never felt dry or then after eating a choke cherry. Question for the topic is biology? Get ready, Phil. This next great question is via Tim Allen. This 11 letter word is defined as quote a scientist who studies the movement, distribution and quality of water across the earth's surface. Aren't you married to one of these? Not married, but yes. Dating, living with fiance too. Dating. Okay. This 11 letter word is defined as a scientist who studies the movement, distribution and quality of water across the earth's surface. I think I got this wrong. I would no longer be gay. Man, I met him too. And I remember one part. And I don't know if I'm going to get this right. Is this how he would introduce himself Sarah? He'd say, I'm okay. Yeah. No, he did this for the forest service for like five years. Tough look for you. Yeah. One of one of my top 10 favorite conversations I've had in the past year talking about this subject. Wow. Yeah. We'll get the other now. Yeah. That's going to say. I want to see that list. He knows a whole lot about galt and valley water. A ski lift mechanic. That dude was one of the most interesting guys I talked to. Okay. Now we know two of the 10. Does everybody ready? Corey and Sarah and Omar are now Omar says hydrochemist. Oh, the rest of the room says hydrologist. Oh, the rest of the room got right. The job of a hydrologist is vast. They analyze the water cycle, manage water resources, monitor water quality and forecast natural disasters like floods and droughts. The average salary of a hydrologist in the United States is $92,000 per year. Sarah, anything you want to add about dating a hydrologist or what his exact salary is. I don't know if I should disclose his exact salary. He shared finances. Not yet. Working that way. No, he works for the Galton County Department of Environmental Health doing groundwater and surface water monitoring in Galton County. An important job. And if he grabbed up and that stuff up at the YC up there? No, he's not. He, um, I think they're just out of his monitoring area. And they
He does like well-testing stuff down in Big Sky. - It's a water troublemaker. - There's a lot of water troublemaker. - If you're not from here, you don't know this, but there's just not enough water in the Galaton County as for a lot of the country and so Sarah's boyfriend is gonna fix that for us. - Question five, the top of his gear. - The job cam. - This Colorado brand, which is named after a big mountain was created in 2001 in his best known for its lightweight camping gear. - Man, they make some good stuff. - They really do. - Brody and Sarah locked in their answers fast as we've seen all game. This is question five. - What are they best known for? - So now they're one of those great homegrown, small outdoor brands. - Man. - They're kind of crushing. - Oh, they're making a lot of time. - I have a hard way to do it. - I will, I'm not gonna say anything. - I'm on a hot spring. - Are they hot right now? - Hot for years, baby. - Baby. - It's kind of one of those if you know you know things. - Yeah. - I think I know. - Dude, I think I'm with you, man. - Cory, do you have anything to do with that? - Yeah, I think I know why you think you know. - We'll find out. - If it's the same brand I'm thinking of, I'm in the market for a nest for my TP. - Hmm. How do you like your answer, Nate? - Not great. - Let's see, buddy. - No, I might change it. I don't want any, I don't want any of your face over there. - I don't want any of your face over there. - I guarantee I'll show you no emotion whatsoever. - No, we'll try. - I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. - All right. There's a lot of face over there. - See, no, no, no. - I don't know. - It's pretty emotionless. - Oh. - This Colorado brand. - I've been taking acting lessons from Phil and he told me how to do like just dead pants straight face. - You're doing great. You're making great progress. - Name death for a big mountain was created in 2001 in his best known for its lightweight camping gear. We're going to scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. Is everybody ready? - Give me like five, 10 more seconds. - Man, I think mine's wrong. We're going to try it though. We have to put those acting lessons to the test here pretty soon. There's a new podcast coming out where you'll have some acting from Phil, Brodie, Corey, me, Randall, very excited. - I was only, yeah. I only recorded for about 15 minutes. - Man, I don't know what he's talking about right now, but it sounds fun. - Oh, you, I thought I saw your name in the script. - Brodie did it. Brodie did some. - I did. - Gunfighters. I don't think it's a secret, we can say. - Oh, I didn't know how a lot of time. - Okay, the Gunfighter's podcast. - Yeah. - You didn't do a script or a table reading feeling? - I was supposed to, but what's his name? - Jake. - I just couldn't get my schedule to line up. - Nate. - 10 seconds. - All right. - Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey, so big agnus. - Oh, dang it. - Sarah, big agnus. Omar, seek outside. John, climate, Nate, Durston crossed out big agnus. - That's tough man. - Brodie, big agnus. - I think I got double points on the fishing question. - His big agnus. What did Nate have written down when you looked at his whiteboard, Brodie? - Durston? - Yeah. - Yeah, I don't know what that means. - Big agnus is known for their ultra lightweight, tense sleeping pads, sleeping bags, camping furniture and backpacks. The brand is named after the 12,000 foot big agnus mountain, which sits 30 miles north of downtown Steamboat Springs where the company is located. Phil, scoreboard update. - Oh. - I hear it half time. We got Omar hanging on with one point. - Sarah. - We're in it. - John's got three, Corey and Nate are now tied up with four and tied up in first place with perfect games, are Sarah and Brodie. - Wow. - Five points. - Are you excited? - All right folks, if you are a whitetail hunter, you're gonna wanna hear this.

Question six, the topic is hunting. - Same thing. - This dog breed with a feminine name is described by AKC as being, quote, "smaller than setters, but legier than spaniels." The room is stopped. This dog breed with a feminine name is described by AKC as being smaller than setters, but legier than spaniels. Corey, the only player to come up with an answer so far. - Maybe. - No, Sarah and Brody joining him. Sarah, do you have this one right? - I do, yeah. - Brody, do you have this one right? - I've got an answer that makes sense. - Okay, Corey, does your answer make sense? - In my head. - Okay. - We're in it. - You got it. - Yeah, you got this one right? - Honored with some of these this past year. - There's a lot. - I did you know. - A lot of people run 'em out here. - Present. Cool dogs. - Yeah. - I'd rather have a actual spaniol, but, you know. - This dog. - Remember me, remember me, remember me. - I'd rather have a pen fly down upstream, described by AKC as being smaller than setters, but legier than spaniels. - Unless all you do is, yeah. I'll leave that for. - What, bow hum big old bowls? - No. - You're right, little bowls and cows. - I don't know. - Omar John, are we ready? Give up. - Give up. Corey says, "Cali, Sarah, Brittany, Omar, John, without an answer, Nate, and Brody, say Brittany, they got it, the correct answer is Brittany." The AKC calls the breed a quote, "Stylish and versatile gun dog." They say, "Britney's are quick and rugged dogs that require a lot of exercise. Gun dog magazine calls intelligence. Their strongest trait, but warns that it can work for and against you." All right, what do we got for a review for hunting with a Brittany, Nate? - It was great. I mean, I love my dog, but he's still kind of sucks, mainly because I suck at hunting. And those dogs were great. Like that, we shot a peasant and dropped, and four dogs couldn't find that peasant, and that Brittany just ran right over and grabbed it. - I just think if you're all, if you're peasant hunting, like specifically, there is no better tool than an English Springer's manual. - That's why I got one. - They're the best. - There we go. I think I got labs. - No. - Springers are like labs, but more fun. - Question seven, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Josie Vandenberg. - More fun. - More fun than the most fun you can have. - Idaho's salmon river was given this nickname, because it's powerful currents and dangerous rapids, make it impossible to row back upstream. Brody. - What's the category of this? - Corey, this is fishing. Idaho's salmon river was given this nickname, because it's powerful currents and dangerous rapids, make it impossible to row back upstream. Corey, you got this one right. - No idea, that's where that name came from. - Good question Spencer. - Thank you, thank you. This is via Josie. Nate now joining them with an answer. - With a guess? - With a guess. Corey, have you ever been on the salmon river? - I have not. - Brody. - I would love to. - No. - Sarah. - No. - Are three fly fish? - Why do you want that where you fly in? - There's an air strip and then you float down. - I want to do that. - Is that like the middle fork? - I think so. - Corey and Brody think they have this one right. Nate, do you have this one right? - Absolutely not. - I think I saw that last time. - Mm-hmm. - I've said that for the past couple. - Well, shark. - This is question seven. Is everybody ready? Sarah, coming up with an answer, we're going to.
flip over the whiteboards after that. Corey says River of No Return. Sarah says Hells Canyon, Omar, River of No Return, John Hells Canyon, Nate Waterslide, Brody River of No Return. The correct answer is the River of No Return. Early settlers in the region gave the Sam and River this nickname because it was considered a one-way street. Once boats entered the canyon portion of the river, they would only travel downstream. And when they'd reach their destination, the boats would be disassembled and used for lumber. The River of No Return is known for its steelhead Chinooksam and cutthroat trout, bull trout, smallmouth bass and white surgeon. Question eight, the topic is gear. FFS, which stands for blank, blank, blank, was called the most polarizing topic in the fishing world by Outdoor Life in 2024. This is a fishing question. The gear question, also fishing, FFS, which stands for blank, blank, blank, was called the most polarizing topic in the fishing world by Outdoor Life in 2024. Do you have this one? Do I have it right? Yes. Nate and Brody like their answers. Closing the gap with Sarah. Nate, how do you know this? Cause I'm smart. Cause you fish. Is that why you're asking for extra points if you get questions right? No, that's cause I have no shame. Okay. I think we should also implement a squaring dimension like points, non-resident points and stuff. So when I get the second fishing question right, I actually get plus four. There you go. One of those Fs should be pretty obvious. FFS, which stands for blank, blank, blank, I mean, I was in the fishing world and this wasn't polarized. Was called the most polarizing topic in the fishing world by Outdoor Life in 2024. Was it hard to see and think because of this was going on? I don't know if we're thinking about the same thing. Watch it. It's for your fishing buddy over there. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Cory, do you give up? Yeah. Cory says fish, blank, blank, Sarah, fish finding sonar, Omar and John without an answer. Nate and Brody say forward facing sonar. They got it. The correct answer is forward facing sonar. That's almost as cheating as drag in your flies around. Yeah. Exactly. Forward facing sonar is unique because it provides a live real time look at what's happening underwater. It's legal. It's legality varies by tournament. The National Professional Fishing League has banned the technology. The Bass Elite series flips a coin to determine which events will allow it and which will not. Major league fishing lets anglers use it once a day during a selected time slot. All right, Phil, scoreboard update. Two questions to go. He's got change a little bit around here. Omar's got two now. John's still sitting there sitting pretty with three. Cory's got five. Now Sarah and Nate are tied up with six. And Brody has pulled ahead. He's two points ahead actually with eight. Brody can get question nine right. He'll wrapped up the victory. See if he can get the perfect game. Omar, you came in real hot the first time you're on here. I don't know what happened, man. Just resting out. It's been a couple weeks. Question nine. The topic is conservation. About half of North America's 250 native orchid species are found in this state. Brody and Nate wrestling over whiteboards over there. See you can write their answer quicker. It helps it over here so I can stare at it. Brody gives this wrong, but Sarah or Nate get it right. We'll still have a ballgame going into number 10. Oh, I feel like we should combine forces because I'm 50 50 on this. Yeah, if you guys can take one, I take you out states that would help your odds. Brody, how many states do you have an arrow down to? I had three, but really I'm just gone. Not really. I don't know. No, not feeling great. Everybody ready? John doing some writing. Brody is hot streak over the last few months has seemed exceptionally hot. He's been very good and we haven't gone to overtime, I think in months now and that speaks to the dominance of often Brody sometimes Randall, usually not dominant the same time. Change it now. Do you guys have the same answer? No, it's cheating. Sarah, are you ready? Corey says Hawaii, Sarah, Georgia, Omar, Washington, John, Florida, Nate, Florida, Brody, Florida. The correct answer is Florida. No, man. Giving Brody the victory, but we still have one question to go. We'll see if he can get the perfect game. South Florida's warm wet and humid climate makes it the continent's most orchid rich place. About half of the states orchids are considered endangered, largely due to habitat destruction. Florida's most famous species is the ghost orchid of which there are about 1000 left in the state. It's believed that their only pollinator is the sphinx moth. Here's a picture of a ghost orchid. People go travel there from far away to get a glimpse of one of those. Only bloom for like a week. You got that on your list of curiosities are going to see. I mean, I would love to, but I don't think it's going to. I can't plan a whole trip to the Everglades just to, you know, be there for the one week when these things are open. Is that a group of people like birders? Is there flower? Got to be. I think orchids specifically have very religious follow. What do they call themselves? I don't know. With that person. Organites. Yeah. Here's the correct answer review so far. One was Oklahoma, two dead dripped, three choke cherry, four hydrologist, five big agnus, six Brittany, seven river of no return, eight forward facing sonar, nine Florida fill scoreboard update. Well, as we already said, Brody has secured the bag, but Nate is two points ahead with seven or two points behind. Excuse me. Question 10, the topic is public lands.

This is a lesser question of the week, which was won by Jim Natole for sending this great question. Jim is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win a listener question of the week, then send your question to
[email protected]. All right, the topic is public lands. This president had a tunnel system constructed in 1935 at New York's White Face Mountain so that those in wheelchairs could reach the summit. Brody, do you have this one right? Pretty sure I do. Okay. I feel like that there's a big clue in the view of this guy. And he voted for him. Yep. Twice actually. Just before the dozen talking about this ageism stuff before and here maybe you weren't present, but you know, there's an HR department upstairs or real tight. Is everybody ready? We have Corey saying FDR Sarah FDR Omar says Hoover John says LBJ better Nate and Brody say FDR, the correct answer is Franklin D Roosevelt FDR. I'll stand at his face. That means Brody got that one right. Giving him the perfect game. Well done Brody. FDR was the 32nd president serving from 1933 to 1945. He caught polio in 1921 at the age of 39, which paralyzed his legs and put him in a wheelchair. In his 30 years president, he mandated the construction of an in mountain elevator system and pedestrian tunnel at White Face Mountain, one of the tallest mountains in the Adirondex. Now visitors with mobility issues can reach the summit via 400 foot tunnel and 300 foot elevator. It's pretty nice because hiking up White Face Mountain is like about as opposite from a pedestrian friendly tunnel. Oh, you've been there. Did you go in the elevator? No, I walked up the side. It's like, I think it's like 1500 feet again in a mile or something. All right Brody, $1,000
Donation today what are you gonna do with all that money? It's look been a pretty tough wildfire season already And it's probably only gonna get tougher. So we'll donate to wildlandfirefighters dot org I think it's the name of it.
