Ep. 925: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCXXXII

Meat Eater Trivia, hosted by Spencer Neworth, is a conservation-focused quiz show where participants answer questions on hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. The episode features a mix of fun and informative trivia, including practical advice on using a 30/30 rifle for close-range timber hunting and the surprising fact that spotted sea trout were the most caught saltwater fish by American anglers in 2022. Other questions cover the gutless butchering method, the location of the Pine Barons in New Jersey, Cormac McCarthy as the author of *Blood Meridian*, and the term "exume" for digging up a corpse. A bonus question on gear introduces "snorkel," while the final topic reveals the "no mo may" movement, which promotes pollinator support and reduced water use. The game concludes with a tie among several players, but Randall wins the final round by correctly guessing that the average state fishing regulations handbook has 72 pages. He earns a $500 donation to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, highlighting the show’s commitment to environmental advocacy. The episode ends with a preview of the upcoming live Christmas tour, emphasizing community, laughter, and outdoor culture.

This is an iHeart Podcast, Guaranteed Human. Welcome to me, Dieter Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. There is a prize. Dieter will donate $500 to the Conservation Organization of the Winners Choosing. I'm your host, Spencer Neworth, and today we're joined by Janice Randall Brody, Corey Marge Seth and Dane Williams. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals, which are hunting fishing, conservation, and cooking. Meat Eater Trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, Bush Light, Bush Light Head to the Mountains. Dane, this is your first time on the show, tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater. I'm on the social media team as a social media and community coordinator, so I work with Alex and Nick. Okay. So many times someone is talking smack about yawney, you have to read that. Yes. I send it to you, yawney. I send everyone to him. Yeah. Dane, what are your strengths and weaknesses here at Meat Eater Trivia between hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking? Hunting and conservation definitely strengths, cooking, and fishing are going to be my weakness. Okay. Dane, a big predator hunter. He owns a dog that I think is the first dog of that breed in the office. What is it? What is that thing you have? Cool, a leopard dog. Hmm. We've had one of those. And I have a mutt. Okay. They're both coyote coy dogs, two good, well-behaved dogs. Welcome to the show, Dane. Thank you. All right. We're starting today's show with a male bag question. If you have a question, you want the trivia crew to answer. Then send your question with the subject line male bag to [email protected]. This is from Django Holt. He says, "I recently inherited a lever action 30/30 from a family friend that passed away. I haven't shot it yet, but it's a beautiful gun. However, I'm not totally sure what to use it for a deer and elk hunt in Oregon. And most of the shooting I do is much longer than the accurate range of a 30/30. Any suggestions on practical uses for this gun would love to hear the crew's thoughts." Seth didn't even accept this invite to trivia until I sent out this male bag question. And then he accepted the invite because Seth is so passionate about this subject. What should Django do with that 30/30 he inherited? Well, he should do a lot of timber sneaking with that thing. Get in the timber, get real close to him, be quiet, still hunt, and then shoot stuff real close. Brody, another 30/30 owner, any advice for Django? Use it to break out of that long-range shooting mode and practice sneaking in on stuff. Like dudes killing with bows, there's no reason you can't sneak into a hundred yards and shoot one with a 30/30. Okay. So if tomorrow you inherited Brody's 30/30, what would you do with it? Put a bail scope on it. Well, I actually don't-- yeah, bipod scope, add some rails. I actually, I don't think I've owned a 30/30, I did for a while, my absolute favorite rifle was a 45/70 lever action. I sold that because I just was like, I don't frequently shoot things under a hundred yards. And then I was going out lying hunting and I thought, my God, I don't have anything to shoot like a cat out of a tree with. So I drove all over Missoula looking for used deals on lever actions because it seemed like the perfect tool for that job. What'd you find? Well, I wasn't flush with cash at the time and I couldn't find a good deal so I ended up shooting that cat with a 20 gauge slug gun. But had I had a 30/30 lever action, like you never know, that's the larger point of the story is you never know when you might have an opportunity where it's just the perfect tool for the job. So it's just, it's also a classic rifle, I mean. Missoula doesn't seem like 30/30 country, that's now where you walk into a sporting and store and find a good selection of 30/30s. I don't know. I feel like everybody's dad or grandpa has had a 30/30 lever action at some point, right? And a lot of those guns make the circuit. But yeah, now that I think about it on the forums, I haven't seen a lot of moving, strange times. Any other advice for Django? No, I love his name. Cool name. Good name. And if you just think he wants a practical use for it. Practical use. Jesse is counting blastin' because it's also just a fun gun to shoot. Set up some Coke cans and pick up your trash. Pick up your trash, of course. What would be real practical is if you can't find a use for it, go sell it Django. Like, if I died and I gave my gun to Seth and Seth turned around and sold it, I wouldn't be the least bit offended because I'd be dead. So Django, if you need to sell that gun to get a gun that you will use, that's my advice. Fair point. Girl sells guns all the time, too much. That's why so many ghosts haunt him. Yeah. All right, know how to keep you today, Shelby index for this episode is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. With that, we're onto the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Game on suckers question on the topic is fishing. This first great question is via Charlie McDonnell. According to Noah, this was the most caught salt water fish by recreational anglers in 2022. To be clear, this is American recreational anglers. Your four choices, flounder, bone fish, spotted sea trout or red fish. This was the most caught salt water fish by American recreational anglers in 2022. Flounder, bone fish, spotted sea trout, red fish, Brody, the quickest to answer Brody, if I didn't give you choices, would you come up with the same answer as what you wrote down? Probably not. Okay. And I mean, I'm just getting there, getting there through what seems logical route. This was the most caught salt water fish by anglers in 2022, flounder, bone fish, spotted sea trout, red fish. This 2022, the most recent year for which there's available data, there's something specific about that. That was the data that I could find because it seems as though they roll out this kind of information like every four years, like the US Fish and Wildlife Service does. What I would love to know is the amount of seafood that goes through the catch can airport. It's just they're ready when you show up with a cooler full of fish. They're pros. Yeah. Just the amount of fish boxes is insane. It's everybody ready. Marge you doing to me racing? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have set saying sea trout, Dan says red fish, Yani, sea trout, Randall, flounder, Cori, sea trout, Marge, sea trout, Brody, sea trout. The correct answer is spotted sea trout. Yeah. Well, it's estimated that there were 55 million spotted sea trout caught by American anglers in 2022 in terms of weight striped bass or at the top of the list with 36 million pounds of striper's caught that year. And scum were the most harvested fish with anglers taking home 18 million of those. Question to the top is conservation. What country has the most acres of tiger? That is T-A-I-G-A. Randall back on track. You have this one right? I hope so, but I've lost all confidence. Okay. Just after one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did my flavor text, there's scup, S-C-U-P. Am I saying that right? Scup? Scup? I think it's also a porgy. Porgy's right. Porgy's right. Porgy's right. Okay. Cori, do you have this one right? That is a tiger. Don't think so. T-A-I-G-A. Did you see my answer? Well, I dressed up in a tiger for Halloween one time. Don't need a tiger. You're honest. I know you're not wearing your headphones and you can't tell, but you've got to get close to that microphone. I thought I was yelling and projecting enough, but I guess that's not in the case. No headphones and no sleeves. Did you have bugle tube? When does this sleeveless bit come to an end, Yani? When it gets too cold. Okay. When he's six feet under. Oh, man. I mean, even when it's cold, you can be hiking up the mountain and sleeveless. That's true. I mean, they make vests. First light makes vests. Does this air in your life make you want to get more tats on your arms? No. Or more jacked. Nope. Nope. Nope. What are you trying to say, man? I got more comfortable. Some pipes, man. Pipelines. Good? Yeah. Be doing curls. I support. Again, we're on question two. What did you cut off a couple? After we tried to tie it? I haven't. Yeah. Well, I'll do it. I'm running out of summer. [BLANK_AUDIO] Everybody ready? - All right, we all, thank you. - There is some down, yeah. - Marge? - Yeah, I wrote something down. - Go ahead and reveal your answer. Seth says Russia, dang without an answer. Yani, Russia, Randall, Russia, Corey, Russia, Marge, what does it say, Marge? - Mongolia. - Mongolia, oh, of course. - Brody, Russia, the correct answer is Russia. Tyga, which is also known as Boreal Forest, is a sub-artic landscape that's covered in evergreen trees. It is the largest terrestrial biome in the world, covering about 60% of Russia and 17% of the Earth's surface. The country with the second most, Tyga is, and he guesses Canada, that's right, good job, room. We're on the question three, the topic is hunting. Montana Knife Company defines this seven letter butchering method as quote, "Were you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity?" Mkc defines this seven letters much more than the method. Mkc, long and more Mkc. This is where I could find a clean definition of this Mkc defines a seven letter butchering method is, where you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity. - I still have a two-part video on those of the only two videos on my YouTube channel. - On my own YouTube channel, wow. - When I was writing the flavor text for this, I came across that. - Yeah. - The publisher was young to tell us. - Garrett and Bart are very excited about growing that YouTube channel with some content that might not be quite, you know, enough for the regular meat eater channel. - Part three. - But you still own channel. - Yeah, I do. - I do. - I'm not gonna sell out, are you? - It's gonna be a tough to go chase. - Oh, we'll see. Three, how to cut your sleeves. Mkc defines this seven letter butchering method as where you skin and quarter the animal without opening the abdominal cavity. Is everybody ready? We have Seth and Dane and Yani and Randall and Corey and Brody saying gutless, margin without an answer. The correct answer is gutless. - I'm doing that. - No. - As the name implies, you leave the internal organs inside the carcass when doing the gutless method of butchering. This is popular among hunters who need to pack out the meat on their back. For more on this process, go read our article on the meateater.com called Field Butchering Tips. Part one, the gutless method or watch Yani's video on YouTube. - And smash that like and subscribe button. - That's right, bro. - We're talking about it, buddy. - Question four, the topic is to get those numbers g. This is our list for question of the week, which was won by Jesse Bartlett for sending this great question. Jesse 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]. The Pine Barons, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located in this state. Looking for the state name, the Pine Barons, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located in this state. - I'd like to go to this place one time. I've never been there. - Okay. - It's just A devil, supposedly not a specific devil. - A devil. - A devil. - I'm not going to go into any further detail on that. - You might like it there, Yani. - Mm. - Devils in the details. - Yeah, I imagine I would. - Brody quick to answer. - Your Randall quick to answer. - Yani quick to answer. Seth quick to answer. Those four appear to know. What Dane do you have this one right? - Not sure, but I got an answer. - Ooh. The Pine Barons, which is supposedly home to a devil, is a 1.1 million acre ecosystem located. - Come on. - You got a one in fifth state. - It's pretty wrong. - That's pretty wrong. - I know. - Okay, cool. - Randall has seen Corey answer. - Corey, that's pretty dang wrong, man. - Okay. - Now I'm questioning if my state has, can you also look at Dane's answer and tell him if his is pretty wrong or just a little wrong? - I'm questioning if my state even has 1.1 million acres in it. - So. - You get a clue. - Okay. Okay, Randall, how wrong is Dane's answer? - He's not nearly as wrong as Corey. - Can I change my answer? - How about nearly as wrong? - Brody, how wrong is Marge's answer? - Isn't it, it's not as wrong with it. - Corey, you'd only get one here if you could. - Is he a distance or what do we have? - Yeah, well, however wrong you think Randall was putting it in on his scale. - Corey was considerably wrong. - Okay, it was fairly wrong. - He's like a southern thing. - All right, Corey, Marge, Dane, and you're changing your answers. - It's a southern thing, you got the wrong thing down too. - I know, I know. - Is it not? - He says it seems like a southern thing and you wrote down Maine. (all laughing) - That was actually a test to Randall. - It was. - To see if he could get more information. - That's not a bad guess. - No, it's actually a lot of pines in Maine. - Is everybody ready? - A lot of pines. - And go ahead and reveal your answers. Set New Jersey, Dane, Kentucky, Yannis, New Jersey, Randall, New Jersey, Corey, Florida, Marge, Missouri, Brody, New Jersey, the correct answer is New Jersey. - Isn't that their hockey team? - Yeah, I knew it was a hockey team. I just didn't know what state. - I think I'm the only person who's room that lived in that state. - Oh, okay. Have you been to the Pine Barons? - Nope. - There's a John McFee book about the Pine Barons. - There's a soprano. - My favorite episode of sopranos is the Pine Barons episode. I think it's just called Pine Barons. - You know what I love so much about that episode Phil is how they introduced the big bad Russian fella who never returned. The whole rest of the series, I'm like, okay, he's gonna come back and I'm gonna be the only one who saw it coming and then he just never returns. But it's great, it's great storytelling. It was really well done, a lot of fun. - So that's what were you doing? - In New Jersey. - I lived there for like 10 years. - I'm in the timber. - When I'm in the timber. - Sneaking. - My parents worked for my uncle who owned a pretty big landscaping. - Oh, I see. - You were there with a tree of nature lately. - Yeah, yeah. No, this is when I was real young. - Got it. - Yeah. - The Pine Barons cover about a quarter of New Jersey. The wilderness is named after the pitch pine that dominates the landscape and it's poor soil that makes farming difficult. The Jersey Devil who supposedly calls the forest home was born there in 1735. It said that he was the 13th child of a woman who cursed him and shortly after birth he grew wings, a tail and claws then flew off into the Pine Barons. He was frequently seen in 1909 with hundreds of encounters reported to local newspapers. Later that year the Philadelphia Zoo put out a $10,000 reward for the capture of the Jersey Devil. - I think this was on a Joe Sermelli back in the A, B side. I think I animated this now. - He probably did that. We're looking at a sketch from the 1900s of the Jersey Devil. It's like a kangaroo/horse body that's bipedal and then it's got big old devilish wings. - It's sort of like crane legs. - We're those animals that Luke Skywalker rode. - Tonton. - Tonton. The profile from the neck up is very similar to Tonton. Without the horn though. I thought they smelled bad on the outside. - Good observations, now you know everything about the Pine Barons. - And the tail is very strange. - Yeah, it's got like a turkey foot at the end of his tail. Question five, the topic is cooking. The Glanton Gang eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Blood Meridian. The Glanton Gang eats pronghorn bone marrow in this author's novel, Looks Like The Blood Meridian. - The publishing boy's Brody and Randall, real quick to answer. - Yeah, more of that book shit. - The rest of the room has blank line. - I don't know where you gotta be a publishing guy. I don't know this one. - Yeah, this one, it's not really, I think you put it under cooking. - Yeah, it's cooking. They eat pronghorn bone marrow. - Which is like. - But really, the trivia is like, do you know who wrote Pomeridian? - Yeah, welcome to me, Deter trivia. (laughing) - Do you know who Rarrow and a pronghorn is? - Yes, but it's like, just doesn't wanna just hit my. - Arguably one of the finest novels in American literature. - Okay, there's a hint, and I agree with you. - You'd also know this if you'd listen to the most recent episode of the American West, where you'd discuss our favorite. - Oh! - I didn't know that. - Okay, good plug. And this was a choice by you or. - I think Dan Chokas. Brody and Randall, still the only players with an answer. - Nah, really? - Yo, huh? - God, I know it. It is. - Pretty sure this book's sitting on my bookshelf. - Uh-oh. - Yani is threatening his whiteboard right now. - Yani, joining Randall and Brody with an answer, is it correct? - God, I can see what his last letter was from the bookshelf. - Okay, I was trying to watch, and I thought he had the first name, right? - Can I get the first two letters right there, bud? (laughing) - More than the first two. - The Glanton Gang. - I thought you had it there. - It's pronghorn. horn bone marrow and this author's novel. Too many hints in this episode. There are a lot of animals around us having fun. You know, it's everybody ready. Seth says, "Cormic McCarthy." Dane without an answer. Yani and Randall say, "Cormic McCarthy." Corey says, "McCloud." Marge without an answer. Brody, "Cormic McCarthy." The correct answer is "Cormic McCarthy." That's what I call him. Blutneridian, which came out in 1985, is widely considered McCarthy's magnum opus. The book has often been called unfilmable with multiple Hollywood teams taking on the project and walking away. Directors have said the biggest challenges are the graphic violence and lack of traditional narrative. But Cormic McCarthy gave John Hillcoat his blessing before passing in 2023. And it said that Hillcoat is working on the script now. The latest update is that they are scouting for film locations and testing practical effects. Wow. That would be a wildly challenging movie. Who's John Hillcoat? I don't know. I was counting on Phil to be like, "Oh, John Hillcoat." He does really bad things. No, nothing. I was trying to make a name out of his first and last name, and my brain just keeps saying, "McCormic," I'm like, "It's not, it's a spice brand." All right. Now it's time for our can-am question of the week. Thanks to can-am, you get some bonus trivia in this week's episode. This is not count towards your score. It's just for bragging, right? Here's the question. The topic is gear. This seven letter word is a piece of gear that lets swimmers breathe air and an ATV accessory that allows vehicles to be semi-submersed without taking water to the engine. It's like John Hillcoat directed the road, so he's already. No, he already had the cannon. He knows it well. But was that movie very good? Not really. I still haven't theaters on I haven't seen it since. The book was a lot better. Yeah, I feel like the road didn't have any lasting impact, right? That's Vigo, is that right? Yeah. Vigo, yeah. This is Vigo. Seven letter word is a piece of gear that lets swimmers breathe air and an ATV accessory that allows vehicles to be semi-submersed without taking water to the engine. It's everybody ready to reveal your can-am answers of the week. John, he's ready. Seth and Dane and Yani and Randall and Cory and Marge say snorkel. We make this one count without an answer. The correct answer. Instant, I didn't have time. It is snorkeling. You got to be quick on that question of the week. That was our can-am question of the week. Can-am unstoppable. All right, Phil, we're halfway through today's game. Give us a scoreboard update. Here to have time. We've got a wide spread here. Got Dane and Maggie with one point. Peace. Cory's got three, Randall is four and we have three a perfect game. Wow, geez. Between Seth, Yannis and Brody. Five points. Hey everyone, big huge announcement.

Question six, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Sam Taylor. This is America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory. Randall already has his answer. Now Seth, Cory, Cory, do you have this one right? Man, let's hope so. Seth is just going to keep the perfect game going. I hope so. We'll see. I hope not. We might have tripped up Brody with that snorkel question. I know. Whiteboard is down. This is question six. I hate it when I'm in this position. I have to root against everybody. You don't have to root against that. No, I'm compelled to root against not everybody. You're fine. Hey Randall still roots for me in fill. Yeah. Yani, do you have this one right? No, I don't have an answer yet. America's third longest river, which is named after a Canadian territory. And America stands for the United States of America. That's right. It's a close read. I know the first two longest rivers. Okay. The third one I don't. Yani, do you give up? No, I'm going to write something down. Okay. All right. Yeah. We're going to force you and Dan you, Dan and Marge. We have a lot of time. If I start to force you now, though, we've got 27 minutes. Still, Cory's appointment meeting America. I didn't want to make it sound like a medical thing. Nothing's wrong with it. I got to talk about meals. Oh, geez. I'm going to start calling out my meetings appointments. Yeah. That's good. America's third longest river. Dan, Marge, are you ready? Seth says Yukon, Dan, Mrs. Sippy, Yani, Quebec, Randall, Yukon, Cory, Columbia, Marge, Ontario, Brody, Yukon. The correct answer is the Yukon. That's amazing. I literally had Yukon to help the vehicle too. The Yukon river is just shy of 2,000 miles long, making it about 300 miles shorter than the Mississippi and 100 miles longer than the Rio Grande. It is home to the world's longest salmon migration. The Yukon river kings will spend three months traveling 30 miles a day into their spawning grounds every summer. Question seven, the topic is gear. This next great question is via AJ Coolish. This brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware, has a winged bear for its logo. Marge, you got this one right? I think so. Okay. Cory, you got this one right. God, I hope so. I think so. I'm wrong. Marge has her key chain with her today and it looks as though she killed a janitor. She came into the studio. There is a car for a contractor, a tape measure on there. Yeah. How many, like, five keys, some key chain. The carabiner, I think, is the thing that grabs my eye. A carabiner that could winch a vehicle out of a ditch if it needed to. That's a function. Climate sensor. This is question seven. We have three perfect games that are currently in danger. Oh, no, Yannis lost his perfect game in the last question. Oh, bear, Seth and Brody now. Oh, yeah, ran to that question one wrong. That's right. Yeah, I remember. See trout, stupid, stupid, stupid, this brand, which is known for its rugged drinkware, a winged bear for its logo. I got three answers. Okay. Randall, how many answers do you have? I don't know a river name that you come from. Wrong. Oh, God, I don't. I wrote it down. It's not Northwest. Brody, do you have your answer? I guess. Randall, do you have your answer? I suppose so. Seth and Dane and Yannis and Randall and Corey and Marge and Brody say Stanley, they got it. That's a 100% error. The correct answer is Stanley Stanley was founded by William Stanley in 1913 when he patented the first all steel vacuum insulated bottle. Their quencher tumbler has been one of the trendiest products of the 2020s. Almost exclusively thanks to the mug's popularity, Stanley went for making $73 million per year in 2019 to $750 million per year in 2023, a 10-X increase, a bunch of 8th grade girls that feel like we got to do that. We should come up. How do we do that? The next drink wear of 2027. Socks are what we need to have. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. The old school Stanley thermos is just the best thing ever. That thing needs to be with a 30 30 on a hunt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Question eight, the topic is natural history. Onberry is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as quote to dig up a dead body from the ground. Randall had his answer before I finished the question. On berry is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground. Yeah. This one's right in my Q zone. Okay. That's right right there. Got a land right in my sweet spot. 10-X bullseye. No, no, not the writing aspect of it. Oh, the necrophilia. Yeah. I didn't say anything about that. Filia. Grave robbing, man. Oh, sorry. Excuse me. Onberry is a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground. There on the tip of the tongue. Those just went straight to assumptions. Yeah. What category was this? My hair cut looks fine. The topic is natural history. Oh, right, right. Ah, plays an important role in natural history. Yeah, Phil, I think one of the things that I appreciated most about your performance of Christmas Carol was the grave robbers. I forgot that that was part of the plot. Oh, yeah. Onberry. Victorian grave robbing is just great. He's a synonym for this six letter word that's defined as to dig up a dead body from the ground. That's why Randall's plaid. That's why Randall is so haunted. It's from all his grave digging, not the gun owner ships. No, it's probably some strange combination of those. He gets her named hobbies because you're not pure of heart. Yeah. Onberry. Randall, the only player with an answer. Onberry sounds like it could be a cool brand name too. Or like a town name. Yeah. Okay. Onberry New Jersey. Yeah. Pennsylvania. Yeah. The sheriff of Bunbury. Yani is your answer right. I believe it is. Okay. Dang it. Brody is your answer right? It's just sitting there and it's not going to come. Oh, this is really going to shake things up. Well, and we are going to get a scoreboard update. I'm just going to change my spelling. Okay. Why? It doesn't matter. I don't know if this is a word. I just I just got to flash a Yani's board and I still can't come up with it. Okay. Is everybody ready? I'm just talking synonyms. I got to go ahead and reveal your answer. Set without an answer. Dang. Resurrect. Yani. Exume. Randall. Exume. Cory. Remove. Marge. Exume. Wow. Without an answer. The correct answer. Yes. Exume. That's a big time. That is spelled E X H U M E Yani through a G in there. Which is. Yeah. March gets it right. Yes. Yeah. H U M E Yani. I'm scared. Exuming helps scientists learn more about past life, including ancient diseases, diets, and lifestyles. Sometimes it's done specifically to reevaluate someone's cause of death. Like when Mary, whether Lewis was exhumed in 1848 to determine if he died via suicide or murder. Phil, two questions left. It was a scoreboard update. South was right. It really did shake things up here. Dane. Two points. Maggie. Three points. Cory. Four points at a four-way tie and first place between Seth, Yannis, Broody, and Randall. They all have seven points. Coming back from the dead. We have been in an overtime. Resurrect. The question to Exume. Exume my chances of victory today. Question nine. The topic is public lands crowds gather at Indiana Dunes National Park to watch the sunset behind this city's skyline that lies 35 miles to the west. Brody now joins him. Yani now joins him. Crowd gather at Indiana Dunes National Park to watch the sunset behind this city's skyline that lies 35 miles to the west. Cory, do you have this one right? Probably not. Seth, do you have this one right? I just threw down a city that I know is there. I grew up not far from here and I didn't know that this was a thing. And we'll have a picture after this. Specifically, do you know that that city's 35 miles to the west? Nope. We will look at a photo of this afterwards. This is question nine. Seth needs to get this right to keep pace with Brody Randall. I don't know where Indiana Dunes National Park is. Okay. But you know that the city's there. I was going off of Indiana. Is everybody ready? Day in making a quick change. Crowds gather. Day where you're from. Yeah. But you threw me off and then you threw me off. Who twisted tail. We're weaving here. Hopefully I threw you in the right direction because that's what I have now. Perfect. Seth and Dane say Indianapolis. Yani and Randall say Chicago Corey Indianapolis March without an answer Brody Chicago. The correct answer is Chicago. Indiana Dunes National Park is located just east of Gary. And on a clear day, you can see Chicago skyscrapers from across Lake Michigan. The best time to visit for the iconic sunset is between mid-May and late July when the sun drops directly behind the city. Indiana Dunes became a national lakeshore in 1966. Then was redesignated as a national park in 2019. And there is a photo of a sunset behind Chicago. If you're standing at the Indiana Dunes, the old windy city. The city of big shoulders. There's like one day a year. The second city. There's one day a year, I believe, in New York where the sun perfectly sets down. I don't know what road it is. But it's like that's what I asked Tyson has taken credit for finding that and making it a thing. And now people will go and watch that every year and it happens. I don't remember what is called like the New York City equinox or whatever. Yeah. Here's a correct answer review so far. One was spotted. Sea trout. Two Russia. Three gutless. Four New Jersey. Five. Cornwick McCarthy. Six Yukon River. Seven. Stanley. Eight. Exum. Nine. Chicago. Phil. Scoreboard update. That's tripped up. But he's still in the running with seven points. However, Janis Brody and Randall are now tied up in first with eight. Question 10. The topic is conservation. No, a UK plant conservation group started this three word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. Three word. This is the final question. And the room looks stopped. A UK conservation group started this three word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. So your answer is that three word movement. Still seven blank whiteboards. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it billed back better? In second place? Check two shovel shut up. Clean drain dry. Do you have this one right set? No, I've no clue. Just first thing popped in my head that kind of made sense. A UK plant conservation group started this three word movement in 2019 as a way to temporarily support pollinators and reduce water usage in your backyard. It's set can get this right. And Yani Randall and Brody can get this one wrong. You will have a four way tie breaker. But Yani just confidently put down his whiteboard. I have very educated guess. Okay. Whoa. Now Randall's body language has changed. Yeah. He's shaking. He'll turn red here. Yeah, I can feel it now. Brody, do you have this one right? I don't think so. Okay. I know. I know the area I need to be in. I think I have two out of the three words. Wow. Corey, you have this one right? Man, I got a really good guess. Okay. Oh, jeez. Corey seems the most competent. Oh, I have no. I need this one. I have not the foggiest idea. Okay. You only need anything. Randall needs to hold that Yani. Yeah. I hope everybody it wrong. Oh Randall, let's go and get a hot dog after this. Let's do it. I had to hear about Austria. Austria? Randall is now doing some writing. Are you ready Randall? Yes. Seth says water at night. Dane without an answer. Yani, no may mo Randall. No. No. Yani says no may mo. You know what I meant? Randall says on to over time. It was a question mark. Corey, no mo may. Oh. Marge. No mo slow grow. Brody, slow the mo. The correct answer is no mo may. Now what do we do with Yani? If we were fun if we didn't give it to him? Give. I don't know how that happened. Again, the answer is no mo may. Yani has no may mo. This would be a really liberal application of our spelling doesn't count policy. Yeah. I think we should do whatever Randall says. Well, Brody did give him the point. Don't do that on me. What do you think of that, Randall? I think it's funny that he got the words backwards. It is weird. It's very weird. It's not the name of the movement. It's not. Listen, we can go real against me. Yeah. We haven't been to overtime. Don't give it to me. Yani. Don't give it to me. Corey's the only one who got it right. Corey, what do you think? Let's go to overtime. Okay. It is no mo may. The no no may movement quickly spread to North America with some iterations being slow mo summer or low mo spring. More than 30 US cities have adopted a version of the program encouraging homeowners to let their grass grow. No mo may provides more food and habitat for pollinators creates stronger root systems, reduces water usage and cuts down on air and noise pollution. Plus, it means less chores. Plus, it makes your HOA really mad. There you go. All right, we're headed to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. I hope you read it. Thank you, Rable. In overtime, we have a numerical question. Whoever is closest between Randall, Yani and Brody will be declared today's winner. But the rest of the room is going to play along as well because if somebody gets it right on the nose, media will add an extra $100 to today's donation. Anyone mark up this newly stained table today? It hasn't happened yet. All right, the overtime topic is fishing. How many pages is the average state fishing regulations handbook? I got this number by checking 10 different states. If they had the regulations broken up by freshwater and saltwater, I did not use them. So you went off the states that mostly don't have an ocean? There are some states that have their regulations in one if they have a saltwater fishery. But if they split them up into two, I did not include them for the purpose of this. Numbers, not my strong suit. Randomly guessing the numbers of handbooks I haven't seen is not my strong suit. So we're we're an even territory here. Corey, I was confident you would get that last one because you do know Moe May. I do know Moe July, no Moe August, no most attempt for you. Okay, only Moe and June, honestly. Corey is a lot of Moe and June. A big pollinator guy. No, we just don't have water to make our grass grow. Is everybody ready? We don't have soil. Seth says 65, Dane, 67, Yani, 55, Randall, 58, Corey, 98, Marge, 47, Brody, 39. Our players left Brody, Randall, Yani, the correct answer is 72 making Randall the winner. He was 14 pages off, but I think Dane is the closest in the room. He was five pages off. 72 pages of the states I checked. Arkansas had the biggest handbook at 96 pages, and Kentucky had the smallest handbook at 40 pages. Utah was dead nuts on the average at 72 pages. Randall, today's being a winner. What are you going to do with that $500 donation? Let's send that to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. There's obviously a lot in the headlines of late regarding federal public land policy decisions that sportsmen and women need a voice in DC who are sticking up for wild places and wild animals. So send it to RCP's way. Do you feel good about this victory after no? No, I don't. It's actually a cheap and well, no, I think I'll take it. Yeah. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. Thanks, Spencer. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota. He's the host using those smooth mellow tones. He lays them questions down.
