Ep. 916: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCXXIX
39m 6s
The episode of Mediter Trivia features host Spencer Newarth guiding six contestants through a 10-round quiz focused on hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. The show begins with a mail bag question from Kevin in British Columbia asking how to break up with a hunting partner. The crew shares personal stories: one about a fishing partner who shared a secret fishing spot, another about ghosting a chronically late partner, and advice on carefully screening new partners before committing to trips. The host then promotes upcoming in-person events, including a trivia contest in Milwaukee and a store opening in Minneapolis.
The trivia game covers diverse topics. Questions include identifying Louisiana as having the most coastline among listed states, recognizing Jimmity the raccoon as a viral celebrity, defining the word "dredge," locating Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, naming July as the Buck Moon month, identifying the Mississippi River as the shared tributary for the Illinois and Wisconsin Rivers, spelling out NRCS as Natural Resources Conservation Service, recalling the novel "My Side of the Mountain," noting that state parks appear blue on onX maps, and defining maceration as a bone-cleaning method. After ten rounds, Mark Kenyon secures victory with seven correct answers, winning a $500 donation to Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. The episode closes with lighthearted banter about the game and a preview of next week's show.
This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. Welcome to Mediter Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. There is a prize. Mediter will donate $500 to the Conservation Organization of the Winners Choosing. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Clay, Brent, Bear, Mark, Maggie and Tony. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Mediter's Four Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Mediter Trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, Bush Light Head for the Mountains. All right, we have a mail bag question to start today's show. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, then send your question to mail bag. Excuse me, with a subject line mail bag to the address trivia at the mediter.com. This is from Kevin in British Columbia. He says, "Have you ever had to break up with a hunting partner, and if so, how did you approach the matter?" Anybody ever had to break up with a hunting partner? I had to break up with a fishing partner once. Oh, okay. How did that go? Because Kevin wants to know how to approach the matter. So I had found a lake that had really big large mouth in the suburbs of the cities, and it looked like a frog pond, so it didn't look very good, but it was a lake you could go flip and catch big, big fish. And I told my neighbor about it, who I fished with a lot, and then I showed up at the lake one day, and two of his buddies were fishing, and it was a little lake, and I was like, "He's talking." And so we had a little conversation about it, and we didn't fish together anymore. Okay. See the neighbor who owns property that you hunt? No. No, okay. But then it was an easy breakup. Right. It wasn't. No strings attached at that point. the answer is you you don't necessarily always have to directly confront the situation. You just become less and less available. You call them less and less, ghost them a little bit more and more. And it's a very indirect. I'm all about saying, hey pal, this is the reason and for what you did and the reason I'm out. Good for you. That's a tough conversation. But maybe it's never that big of a deal. Like it's it's like, you know, you just kind of you just kind of went in different directions. You see me interested in what the exact reason is. Yeah, if it was an egregious thing like somebody is breaking the law or spot stealing. My screening criteria is just very, very high. I'm very paranoid about ever starting a new hunting partnership. Like we've got a funny situation. A buddy of mine jokes still to this day. Like there was a buddy I was going to go on an elk hunt with. He said, yeah, I'd love to go. But last time I went, I brought my buddy Andy and I always told him if ever one again, I'm going to invite him to. He's like, that cool. I'm like, I don't know. No, I don't know the guy. I'm not sure I want to commit my 10 days to being with some guy. I don't know out there in the mountains. So we had to set up like a meet and greet like a blind date kind of deal. We got to kind of hang out and talk and figure out where to bring him. We brought him. And he's one of my best buddies now. No, that's hunting partner. So really. So I think that careful screening take a little time ahead of the process. He was vetting you, Mark. You just didn't know it. You're probably right. So I honestly, that guy's got lost in. I have a really good hunting partner that for a while we sort of had a falling out because he's one of those perpetually late people. And I finally, I that drives me. That's not cool. No. And it drives me nuts. And finally, I was like, I hunted and fish with him a lot. And I was like, I'm going to just start leaving you. And I started leaving him. And then he started, he started showing up. So and we're still great friends to this day. But we had a little rocky patch in there. Success story. Maggie, any advice for Kevin from British Columbia? Well, you guys are talking about like bro breakups. I'm thinking about like actual relationship breakups. I have not had one of those. I did though my current sweetheart. I was a little worried about getting in a relationship with him because we were fishing buddies to begin with. And I didn't want to lose a good fishing buddy if things went south. But I just want to be friends. And now you live together. You want to home with your old fishing buddy? Yep. We got to have we got to pile of dogs. Things are good. Is the fishing still good? Fish is good. All right. All right. We have a couple events in person to tell you about August 13th at the Milwaukee Medical Store. I am hosting trivia at the store from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. There's a grand prize of a thousand dollars that day as a gift card teams of up to four people can compete. But solo players are welcome and well spots are limited. And you need to sign up. If you want to play go to the Mediter.com/events to register. And then on August 15th at the Minneapolis Mediter Store. Me Clay Brent and Tony will be there for the grand opening. We'll be shaking hands and kissing babies from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We have gifts for the first 150 people and prizes that are given out every hour. Again, that's a Mediter trivia at the Milwaukee store on August 13th and a meet and greet with me. Clay Brent and Tony at the Minneapolis store on August 15th. We're excited to see you out there for more information. Go to the Mediter.com/events. We'll be there. Brent and Clay takes real hard to drag them that far north. Yes. We got it. They're going to be at the Minneapolis store. We're at the Wisconsin store opening and that was a riot. There was a lot of people. It was all looking forward to it. I think it's going to be fun. They said, "Man, you can invite, give us a list of people you want to invite to the meet and greet." I'm like, "I don't know anybody that lives that far north." Besides Tony. I appreciate that, man. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be right outside Tony's front door. If you miss me at the meet and greet, I'm going to go to the twins game that night. It's $2 beers. You can meet me and greet me there. But I don't think these Brent and Clay are getting really good at doing like accompanying something fun onto a trip. The whole trip is fun. No. I can't complexify my life that much. What time's the game? I think 6, 10 pm. The $2 beers are before first pitch. That's Friday night. That's no Saturday night. Oh, then I know. Okay. Yeah. I'm going home. Brent has learned that he's going to be there. I did. Where are we going again? All right. The Shelby index for today is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? There's time to win everything. Question on the topic is fishing. This first great question is via Brett Clement. And as always, it will be multiple choice. Which of these states has the most miles of coastline? Is it Louisiana, Oregon, New York, or Georgia? Which of those four states has the most miles of coastline, Louisiana, Oregon, New York, Georgia? The Bear Grease boys are in their Bear Grease bibs. It's the only outfit they brought this week, I think. Clay's got his poker glasses on. It seems like a trick. I don't want to. It sure does. Which of these states has the most miles of coastline before choice is Louisiana, Oregon, New York, Georgia. Change in my answer. I don't like my answer. Room is not confident. I don't need it, but I think we're going the same way. I don't think I saw any answers to the second time. The second, there's one that you're like, oh, it's that one. But it's usually this one. Okay. It's usually not that one. Louisiana, Oregon, New York, Georgia. Is everybody ready? Maggie's changing her answer. Keep it, Max. Keep it. I think it sucks. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark Kenyon saying Louisiana, Tony, New York, Bear, Georgia, Maggie, New York, Clay, New York, Brent, Georgia. The correct answer is Louisiana. Just Mark Kenyon got that one. That's what I was going to switch to. I was thinking about the job. Mark, trust me, bags. According to no, Louisiana has the third most coastline in the United States after Alaska and Florida. New York is 13th. Georgia is 14th, and Oregon is 17th. So Louisiana, number three. I had to understand what to begin with. Wow. Question two, the topic is wildlife. Jim, which is this type of animal was declared a quote, national celebrity by the New York Times and internet superstar by the Washington Post in July 2026. This may be a 100% here. The room looks competent. Jim, which is this type of animal was declared a national celebrity by the New York Times and internet superstar by the Washington Post in July 2026. As as internet superstars go these days, this one's not too bad. You're okay. Yeah, with the Jimmy having viral fame. Yeah, I'll follow you.
- I'm so glad we haven't had that yet. (laughing) - Let's try to track it out. - 'Cause we haven't checked yet. - How many subs does he have on YouTube? - Wait 'til y'all see-- - More than you told Jimmity that video that Brent made. - What? - Wayland and Jimmity? - Oh yeah. - It's Brent's. - Like your dog. - Hunting dog. - It's okay. In air quotes. Is everybody ready? - Everybody wanna say it? - Yes, what kind of animal is Jimmity? The whole room says raccoon, the whole room got it right. Jimmity is a raccoon. Jimmity the raccoon lives in a Seattle neighborhood. He has an unusual shape. That's the result of a spinal deformity. Although locals have known about him since last summer, it wasn't until last month when he went viral. Just like Steve Rinella, Jimmity has an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Washington. - He's also on the Roku blank screen. - Just like Steve Rinella. - Also likes Steve Rinella. - There is a picture of Jimmity sitting very awkwardly on offense. Question three, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Kerry Martin. This word is defined as, quote, to roll a moist food in a dry ingredient such as flour or breadcrumbs and also refers to a machine that removes silt from bodies of water. - Does anybody know this? - Mark Kenyon just came up with an answer. Maggie, now writing down her answer. - That's such a good feeling. - When you don't have it and then all of a sudden, no, I'm on you. That little light. - I'm not sure if you can see it. - So do you have this one right? - Mark. - 75% yes. - Okay. - Fair nookum, do you have this one? - Absolutely not. - Okay. - Was he behind the wheel? - I don't really think there's a chance that either of us are going to win. So if we do win and somehow we've cheated. - I've only got two wrong so far. You've got to get eight to win, right? - We'll see. - We'll see. - You've got to get the most. - We'll get a scoreboard update and a couple questions here. - I wish my dad worked here. - Going to the sun road, which Alice obscure calls "The Loveliest Mountain Road in North America" is located in this national park. Bear, do you have this one right? - 50%. - Okay. - So you've got to answer after I've said that. - Go ahead and reveal your answers. - We're going to give it to Tony. - No idea. - Mark says glacier. Tony says bears ear. Bear. Glacier. Maggie. Glacier. Clay. Glacier. Brent. Smoky Mountains. The correct answer is glacier national park. - Never been there. - Going to the sun road. - Okay. We did. - 51 miles out. - That crosses the continental divide in northern Montana. Only vehicles less than 21 feet long and 8 feet wide are allowed on the pass. The road is known for its stunning mountain views, but also its narrow lanes, dramatic switchbacks and breathtaking cliffs. Two motorists have died. I'm going to the sun road in the last seven years due to rock falls that crushed their vehicle. - Wow. - There's a picture of what that 51 mile stretch of road looks like. I just drove it this last weekend for the second time. - So the first time I went up there, I was 10 years old, family trip, and I remember riding up there. I'm driving and everybody was kind of paralyzed. We got to the top. I think it would have been Logan's pass. - Logan's pass. - Logan's the highest part. - And we set out in the hike. My family and couple of extended family members and come around this kind of bend. And there's a guy. There's a grizzly bear up ahead. And as soon as I heard there was a grizzly bear, I started running towards it because I wanted to go see the grizzly bear. My mom was back behind me. The yelling at me did not go running off. But I ran off way ahead of them. Came around a curve and right in the middle of the trail is this huge animal. Like for me to Brent. - Do they kill you? - But it was Mountain Goat. - It's a good concentration for us. - Three Mountain Goats, right? For me to you, right? And I'm 10 years old. This close to a goat. It was one of the coolest things my whole life. But I do look back on that. Like what a dumb kid sprinting towards the grizzly bear. - That's why they make leashes for kids. - Did you see the bear? - No, we never saw the bear. - If you're going to do the drive and it makes you nauseous to be on the edge of the cliff, then do the drive from east to west rather than west to east. If you go west to east, you're driving the rim of the mountain all the time. If you're east to west, you get to tuck yourself up against the mountain wall instead of being exposed. - Question five, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Michael McNeely. This month's full moon is known as the Buckmoon, which is when West Virginia Division of Natural Resources says antlers can grow an inch a day. So we're looking for what month that is? - This month, not like month's full moon is known as the Buckmoon, which is when the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources says antlers can grow an inch a day. Looking for a month. Mark Canyon, quick to get his answer. Maggie, do you have this one right? - I don't know. - Okay, that sounds like a 50%. - I'll give it that. - I'm always a little bit confused about velvet antler growth on white tails because when they say I can grow an inch a day, does that mean each point, each termination point grows an inch or does it put on, you know, like an eighth of an inch and you get an inch, do you understand? - I understand what you're saying. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources did not specify where that is. - There's a big difference between. - I think it's the former. - No, that could be. - I was thinking. - They're not putting on an inch on every day. - No way. - But they could easily accrue 30 inches an antler score over a course of a month, right? - So that seems possible. - Okay, I got you. - But not 240 inches. - Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. - I don't know what it is. - The Buckmoon, which is when the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources says antlers can grow an inch a day. - An inch per day. - Is everybody ready? Mark says July, Tony, July, Bear, April, Maggie, July, Clay, July, Brent, July. The correct answer is July. - July. Well, July is the most dramatic month for deer growing antlers.
North American deer hunter magazine says June is when a box rack establishes its framework. July is when it has explosive growth and August is for the final touches. Other names for the July full moon include the Thunder Moon, Ransbury moon, and salmon moon. Another quick little story about velvet. My mom and I were driving on the road a few weeks ago and there is a dead elk on the side of the road that had some velvet on it. And my mom was a science teacher for years and she said I've never touched velvet on it. So we pulled over on the side of the road and got out so we could rub the velvet on this dead elk's antlers and she was so excited. I had no idea this is what it would be like. She was so excited. My mom's the coolest. What's up? Can we ask bear if you thought we were talking about turkey beer? We don't need to talk about it. We do not need to talk about that last question. Think about this though. I mean would and I'm still scrutinizing the question. Antlers would grow more than an inch and play the part of Brody today. An inch a day for the whole month today. An inch a day. Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. An inch a day plus a day, not a month. Full moon. Phil Taylor, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Well, here at half time we've got bear and Brent with two points. Tony and Clay have three. Maggie has four and he's pitching a heater. Mark Kenney has a perfect game. Wow. Coming for you, Mark. Go way to go, Mark. Thanks, buddy. Good Lord. They're finally here at long last after fighting and yelling and fighting some more Clay Nukem and first light have done it. They have built a pair of work bibs together. Not just any workbibs. We're talking the bear grease bibs from clay. Now I've watched clay work long enough to know that he wasn't going to put his name on a pair of hunting pants pretending to be workbibs and boy he did not. These are Clay's invention for things like breaking mules, rendering grease, kneeling in the dirt. I'm going to use them all the time, trapping, working, fixing stuff. It doesn't matter. If you want good, durable, comfortable bibs, these are your bibs made from tough stretch duck cotton. They got broader proof chaps that run from cuff to thigh. They got pockets damn near everywhere. Again, comfortable and durable. Put them on. You don't need to worry about having anything go bad. If it wasn't so hot right now outside, I'd be wearing them right now, but you can bet your ass I got them in my truck and they are up at the meat eater store right now at the meat eater store dot com. Question six. The topic is fishing. The Illinois River and Wisconsin River are direct tributaries to this river. This is question six. Tony Peterson. Do you have this one right? I don't know. I hope so though. Mark Canyon. Let's keep the perfect game going. Yeah, 50 50. I everyday. I'm working on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. That's enough. Oh, total low picking up barges. I don't allow him. There you go. He mentions a town in that song that I used to hunt by. So I love that song spot burning. But I don't know. There anymore. And it wasn't that good to begin with. So that spot can be burned. It's everybody ready. Mark Canyon says the Mississippi Tony Mississippi bear Arkansas Maggie Mississippi clay Ohio Brent Mississippi the correct answer. Is the Mississippi River. Half the room got that one right. The Illinois River joins the Mississippi River 20 miles north of St. Louis and the Wisconsin River joins the Mississippi River 60 miles south of La Crosse. They are the sixth and the eighth longest tributaries of the Mississippi. Man, I just felt like Mississippi was just too obvious. Right there for you. Question seven. The topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Ali Spangler for sending this great question. Ali 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 trivia at the mediter.com. The federal agency and our CS stands for natural blank blank blank. Mark Canyon, do you have this one right? I do. Maggie, are you going to get this one to keep pace? Yeah, I should, but I'm kind of brain farting. So can you second? Clay Newcombe. He has now put his whiteboard down. You know, 70% do you have any fun family stories that you might be able to relate to there? About the time you went there. What do you remember? Do you remember the time that Tony, do you have this one right? I don't, I don't know. I'm not that confident in this one. NRCS stands for natural blank blank blank. I picked a lot of very likely words to match up with those letters. I bet you got it. We'll see. Maggie. I don't think I think I'm messing this up. Maggie, you're a writer. I know. I have a problem with acronyms. Oh, Maggie, where did you find Mike Trubidor's hat? Yeah. Yeah. I just saw him this summer. Maggie, are you ready? I'm not. Yeah. Yes. Mark says natural resources conservation service. Tony, resource conservation service. Bear resource commissioning system. Maggie resource conservation society. Oh, Clay, resources conservation service Brent resource conservation service. The correct answer is natural resources conservation service. The room did well. I get a half a point. No. The NRCS is strong and I couldn't make my brain or the NRCS is part of the US Department of Ag. They are considered the primary private lands conservation agency. The NRCS provides free technical advice, custom conservation plans and financial cost share assistance. They say their vision is a world with clean water, healthy soil and thriving agriculture. I did some research on some of that for a buddy of mine. It's got a piece of properties developing for a rest area for ducks. There's a lot of good program. What'd you learn to find something easy to plan for some of the stuff. Very good. If you own private land, there's a lot of ways that they can help you achieve your goals while also getting assistance or cost sharing and you know, it just takes a little quick free meeting with a specialist and you can figure some things out. And I think private land down to like pretty small acreages. They do programs for question eight, the topic is woodsmanship. This 1959 children's adventure novel is about a 12 year old boy who runs away from New York City to live on an abandoned farm in the cat skill mountains. Tony, do you have this one right? Look, I had something come to mind right away, but I have no idea. I had one that. It might be the obvious choice that I wrote something else in our southern players have blank whiteboards. Mark, can you do you have this one right? No, probably not. Okay. That was my first thought. If you get that one right, I'm going to be mad. I didn't write that question. I will get a scoreboard update after this. This 1959 children's adventure novel is about a 12 year old boy who runs away from New York City. You have this one right? No, probably not. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. Mark can get this one wrong and Tony and Maggie get this one right. Have an interesting game. These last two questions. Is everybody ready? Hmm. Mark says hatch it. The other side of the mountain. Tony says hatch it. I got an answer. Maggie says my side of the mountain. That's probably not claim says hatch it. Brent says the mountain. The Brady bunch. The correct answer is my side of the mountain. Maggie got that job. I think you became the rooms favorite here. here. I read a lot of books as a kid has kind of a nerd.
- You knew what Hatch actually is about, don't you? - Yeah, it's dope. - You don't know what Hatch is. - Is it a kid who gets a knife? - What did you always say it's about? - Hatch is like the best ever kid's survival book. A kid is going to visit his dad up in Canada on a little bush plane, the bush plane goes down. He has to survive on his own on the edge of the lake. - Wow, that's awesome. - Former trivia answer. - What about side of the beaver? - Did you all read side of the beaver? - Yes, that was a great, you know, like 12, 13 year old boy. I was reading my son that last year. - The book was written and illustrated by Jean Craighead George who also penned two sequels to the novel. It follows Sam Gribley as he learns to hunt fish, trap, and forage on his great grandfather's property. The book ends with Sam concluding that life is about balancing the desire to live among nature while also being near the people you love. All right, a fill has a picture of my side of the mountain there, so our southern readers can know what to look for. Oh, the book's very honor book. - All right, Phil, we have two questions left. - We've had a pretty close game here now. - I tried if I didn't mess up the NRCS question. - Well, I'd be too ahead of you if I didn't say other side instead of my side. Bears got two Brent and Clay have put a couple more points in their bucket. They've got four, Tony's got five. Maggie now has six, but Mark is still in first place with seven points. - Question nine, the topic is public land. What color are state parks on on X? We'll find out who spends a good amount of time on on X here. - Yeah, but I'm working at BL let me pour in straight parks. - Not allowed us to go and never look at state parks. - So I'm allowed hunting. The topic is public lands, not hunting though. - No. - I feel like I could go through all the agencies and tell you what their colors are. - I can tell you what colors they're not. - You're kind. - There's only so many colors. - That's like, that's kind of what I'm trying to. - Well, then just go through the process of elimination. - That's what I'm that's what I tried to do. - Go through every color for us, Mags. - What color are state parks? - You like this color. - I'm not changing my answer. - You have some onesies this color. - Probably a romper. - Oh gosh. - That's the next in line. Bear grease romper. - Short shorts. - It's everybody ready. - Mark says brown, Tony, purple, bear, purple, Maggie, purple, clay, yellow, Brent, yellow. - Yellows, yellow. - The correct answer is none of those. It's blue. - Oh. - State parks, purple. - I wish you felt pretty good about that one. - State parks are blue. - I felt good about that. - National forests are green. - Green, we have BLM is tribal land is orange. National parks are purple and department of defense is pink. Room did okay, but nobody got state parks are blue. All right, here's a correct answer. Review so far. One was Louisiana, two, raccoon, three, dredge, four, Glacier National Park, five, July six, Mississippi River, seven, natural resources, conservation service, eight, my side of the mountain, nine, blue, fill, scoreboard update. - The needle has remained in its spot. Everyone's got the same score. We got Mark seven, Maggie with six. - Question 10, the topic is haunting. This 10 letter taxidermy word is defined as, a cleaning method that uses warm water and bacteria to rot and dissolve flesh and fat off animal bones. If Mark can get this right, he'll have secured the victory. If he gets it wrong and Maggie gets it right, we will go to overtime. - Oh wow, come on, Maggie. - Do you have to spell it right? - You do not have to spell it right. 10 letter word. Mark has a blank whiteboard, but so does Maggie. - No, I'm totally brain farting right here. - Do you have this one right, Clay? - I think so. - But also, thought those darn rivers float into the Ohio. - 10 letter taxidermy word is defined as, a cleaning method that uses warm water and bacteria to rot and dissolve flesh and fat off animal bones. - That sounds like a stinky way to clean a skull. - It is. - Tony, do you have this one right? - I absolutely do not. - Okay. I do have a 10 letter word though. - Okay. (sighs) - To be entertained by what it is. - I think I'm spelling my word wrong. - That's okay. - That's what's got me a little that I feel like I'm spelled it right and it's not 10 letters. - That's why I'm making me nervous. - I've never been a good speller. - Well, let me count mine then. - Still 10 letters. - Okay. - Maggie, how am I gonna get this one? - Words on it. - It's like two. - I probably got the wrong one. - Or Southern boys. I think there's a chance they have this one right. - No, I don't. - Ooh. - Mark? - How many X's are in this word? - They're silent. - Give you any hints. Maggie doing some furious writing. - It's not right. - Get it, Max. - We're not a time. - Bear your mama gave you a spelling test one time and this word was only. - Well, yeah. - Go ahead, help him out Clay. - No, no, I got it. - Okay, he's got it. - Bear should help out Clay then. - I had Bear move one of his bear skulls away from where we live. Because it smelled so bad. You could smell it. - And it was this? - It just could smell it. - Was it doing this? - I was like, hey bro, that needs to be like a long ways away. - It's gonna be one of those things when we hear the word and we're all gonna be like, "Ah, go ahead and reveal your answers." Mark without an answer. Tony said that's not right. Boiling, bear says, "Masteration." Maggie without an answer. Clay says, "Masticate." Brent says, "Submerseller." The correct answer is, "Masteration." - Yes. - Bear knew, finally. - Got that one, right? To play out of Bear War. - He gave that to you Clay. Sure, you can have that point. Only if Bear says, it's okay, bear. Does he get that right for having? - This should be out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's a completely different word. - Oh, you're right. - That's not the thing. - You can't have that. - Okay, Clay does not get it, just bear gets it. - "Masteration" is also used to make oil, syrup, gin, wine, and more for cleaning animal bones. It's recommended to keep the water between 90 and 100 degrees, which you can achieve with an aquarium heater. It takes two to four weeks to clean a skin to skull, but you need to change the water every few days. Is "Masteration" what you do, Bear? - For the most part, yeah. And I could tell you the only reason I knew that is because I've had two separate, probably eight-minute-long conversations with Yannis about his "Masteration" process. - Yannis, he's passionate about this, and I think he's learned some hot tip about, like, dog crap helps the "Masteration" process. - Oh, yeah, he did that conversation twice. - Maybe I'm revealing some insider secrets there of Yannis, but people try to add things to the "Masteration" process. And that's one thing that Yannis heard. I don't know if he's done it firsthand, but dog crap. - How long does it take? - Two to four weeks. - And it just, you take a skull and it's just completely clean. I mean, you know, you kind of got a, it helps to clean it up just a little bit, but it, you like, shake the meat off. Imagine like a cookin' a chicken in a crock pot for, you know, eight hours, and you kind of just shake it and the meat rolls off. - I mean, I've made the mistake of like, aging a skull a little too long before boiling it, which, it's not a pleasant experience, but I would imagine this smells far worse than the last day. - It's pretty rusty, that's pretty nasty. - All right, that makes Mark Kenyon today's winner with seven correct answers. - Way to go, Mark. - Thank you, Mark. - It's toned out of five. - Mark, what are you gonna do with that $500 donation from Mediter? - Do you know of any conservation groups? - I've got a good view. I think the last time I won, I gave to the National Deer Association, so I've got to give to the other one that I'm really involved with, which is Backcountry Hunters in English. - All right, $500 going to BHA on behalf of Mark and Mediter. Out of towners, good to see you. - All is excited to be here. - I join us next week for more Mediter Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. - Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them, questions.
And he likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks, and he's an avid amateur rock-hound.

Summary:
The episode of Mediter Trivia features host Spencer Newarth guiding six contestants through a 10-round quiz focused on hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. The show begins with a mail bag question from Kevin in British Columbia asking how to break up with a hunting partner. The crew shares personal stories: one about a fishing partner who shared a secret fishing spot, another about ghosting a chronically late partner, and advice on carefully screening new partners before committing to trips. The host then promotes upcoming in-person events, including a trivia contest in Milwaukee and a store opening in Minneapolis.
The trivia game covers diverse topics. Questions include identifying Louisiana as having the most coastline among listed states, recognizing Jimmity the raccoon as a viral celebrity, defining the word "dredge," locating Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, naming July as the Buck Moon month, identifying the Mississippi River as the shared tributary for the Illinois and Wisconsin Rivers, spelling out NRCS as Natural Resources Conservation Service, recalling the novel "My Side of the Mountain," noting that state parks appear blue on onX maps, and defining maceration as a bone-cleaning method. After ten rounds, Mark Kenyon secures victory with seven correct answers, winning a $500 donation to Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. The episode closes with lighthearted banter about the game and a preview of next week's show.
