Every once in a while, though, I find something I keep reaching for, and Wiley Wallaby is one of those things. I first tried it because someone just handed me a bag and said, this isn't like any other kind of licorice you've had before, and they were right. Wiley Wallaby makes authentic Australian-style licorice that's incredibly soft and chewy. It's not like that weird, tough, waxy, cheap junk you get. And it doesn't have that artificial. taste that turns a lot of people away from licorice in the first place. It's one of those products that's hard to explain until you've tasted it yourself. I keep some of my truck. I keep some of my fish shack. I keep some of my camper. They've got more than 10 flavors.

The only game show where conservation always wins. There is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the. Conservation organization of the winners choosing. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth. And today we're joined by Brody, Randall, Seth, Laura, Corey, Nate, and Logan. 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 for the mountains. All right. We are starting today's episode of the mailbag question. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, then send your question with the subject line mailbag. To trivia at the meat eater.com. This is probably the toughest one we've gotten so far. It's not tough. Okay. Let me tell you about it. I think it is. This is from Josh in Illinois. My mother who is in poor health recently moved into my wife and I's place. That is really only big enough for the two of us hunting season here in Illinois is right around the corner. I've been picking it back up here in my mid twenties, after around a decade of not having the ability to do it much. My mother is staunchly. Against hunting. She can't stand the idea of killing quote, innocent animals for anything other than pure last resort survival purposes. In fact, years ago, I came home with a squirrel I had killed and she didn't talk to me for a week. All that to say, while I am prepared to debate the topic, and obviously I am right, she's not in good health and I'd rather not rock the boat at such a sensitive time. How would you approach either talking to her about the topic or sneaking out before the sun? Several. Days a week. This fall. Send her to a vegan nursing home. Okay. My house, my rules. Okay. I'd encourage you to ask your wife how she feels because if it's two on one tough odds, but if you two are together, then I think it's fine. If he is in his mid twenties, he says mid twenties, this is his mom to be clear. But did he grow up with her when they hunted? Like did his dad hunt? He says he's been out of the game for a decade. So I don't know. I assume this isn't like a household thing. Yeah. I mean, I would ask her if she eats meat and then kind of like bring up the ethical question. I wouldn't get into debates with my mother who's in ill health. I agree. I would either make it invisible to her or I would take a season off. It's your mother. Yeah. I think the right answer here is to lie. Brody, it's your mother. The right answer is to lie. My mom ate game meat. She didn't have a problem with it. Yeah. You just tell her you're really low on money and that this actually. It's a survival situation. Oh, okay. Uh-huh. Yeah. She might write you a check as well. It's a win-win. Yeah. I just watch every single crime movie you can find where someone hides evidence of violence. You know, like I'd buy a lot of drop cloths for the garage. Yeah. Bleach. Yeah, exactly. I just become very clinical in my cleanup. Yeah. And I don't know. If she sleeps late, maybe you go out for an early hunt. If she goes to bed early, maybe you hunt the evening. It could be like a fun little game. Like, what can I hide from mom? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's like your height is one of my favorite games of my life. Yeah. Uh, yeah. She's really bad at it, but nonetheless. I think you just gotta lie to mom. Uh, she doesn't know where you're going. You kill a deer. Maybe there's a buddy's house you can hang it in his garage, uh, to take care of it. Um, I understand though, like you don't want to make your mom sad in the last months of her life, assuming that's what's going on here. You don't want to get into arguments around the dinner table with your mother and it'll help while eating a deer. Let's keep, let's keep the things in perspective and everybody, everybody remembers the quiet thrill of flushing a few cigarette butts down the toilet when they were 15, you know, Josh must be the golden child if mom is living with him. Um, so I think he can kind of guilt free hunt. Um, sorry about that. Josh, that's a tough one. That's a heavy question. I have to want to begin with. All right. Some housekeeping in a previous episode, I had a question about the homophone that is organic material and soil. And a middle Eastern dip. The correct answer was hummus, which is spelled with one M or two, but as about a dozen listeners pointed out and Randall, I was wrong in calling it a homophone. Apparently the two M dip is pronounced hummus and the one M soil is pronounced humus, similar to how you pronounce human, my bad. Uh, but the whole room got it right. So it won't affect the outcome of the game. Giannis was still the big winner. Randall, you would have, you would have caught on to that. If I, if you would have been in the room for that episode, I take it. I think so. Yeah. Humus. Humus. Damn it. Sounded like an idiot. Uh, also an announcement. I will be coming to the Minnesota meat eater store on October 22nd for meat eater trivia. The event will run from six to 8 PM. Uh, the grand prize is a $1,000 gift card to the Minnesota meat eater store. Teams of up to four can compete, but solo players are also welcome.

When are we going to win a thousand dollar gift cards? Yeah. This was first. This was the first thing I thought of. It's a good idea, Brody. We've only done teams when it's like ganging up on Randall or ganging up on Brody. Uh, we could introduce some teams. We all love those games. We do love those. All right. The Shelby index for today is a five. So I'm putting us on perfect score alert. And with that, we're onto the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Brody had his answer before I finished the question. If Brody can get this one right and Nate and Randall can get it wrong, he will be today's victor. That pheasants forever question's haunting me. Whales catfish have been compared to killer whales because of how they haunt their six-letter prey on the banks of France's Tarn River. Seth, do you have this one right? I don't know, but I've seen a video before. Okay. I think that's somehow a hint. Now I know. Oh, really? No. Six-letter prey. Seth is watching every move that Randall makes. He'll be watching. He'll be watching you. Every step you take, every breath you make. I got to think about it for a second. I'll show you. Six-letter prey on the banks of France's Tarn River. Do you have an answer, Randall? Not yet. I mean, I'm thinking of things that live by rivers. Okay. Corey thinks he has it right now. I do. I got less pressure against me, though. Nate needs to get this to stay. Even with Brody. Nate, do you have an answer? I got an answer, but I don't like it. Okay. It's a six-letter answer. It's singular. Not giving you any more hints. Brody's in great spirits over here. He's doing a little jig. Maybe I got it wrong. Maybe I'm way off. But I'll go down knowing I'm an angler, unlike Nate. Okay. You don't have to. Yeah, you got me. How's it looking over there, Seth? It's not great. He should be turning red at any moment. Okay. No, I don't care. Is everybody ready? Give me like 10 seconds. Okay. Laura, do you have this one right? No. I'm pulling for you, Randall. Boy, it's been a while since that number 10 fishing question came through for me. Yeah. The tough thing is I've been thinking about whales a lot. I actually saw some at a fish market. A whale's catfish? Yeah, some smaller ones. Okay. Like two and three footers. Uh-huh. But I've been thinking about them a lot. Hmm. Do you give up now? Yeah. Nate? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Laura, without an answer, Logan says shrimp. Seth says pigeon. Randall, rabbit, quarry, salmon. Nate? Turtle, Brody, pigeon. The correct answer is pigeon. Brody got that one right, making him today's big winner with eight correct answers. And Seth, he's going to tie for second place. You said you'd tie me today. Yeah. Remember that? I knew this was rigged. It was a good job. Growing up to nine feet long and 300 pounds, the whales catfish is Europe's biggest freshwater fish. They are native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia, but have been introduced to waters of different colors across both continents. Whales were put in the Tarn River in the early 1980s and have been flourishing there ever since. That unique population is famous for hunting pigeons on shore. The catfish will wait in shallow water, then propel themselves onto dry land to grab a pigeon before slithering back into the river. A 2011 study filmed 54 of these encounters, of which 28% were successful. This type of whales catfish behavior has rarely been seen elsewhere. So 28% of the time, when one of those things goes for a pigeon on dry land, they eat that pigeon. I knew it was a bird, but I just couldn't think of a six-letter bird. I was going through ducklings and ducks. Yeah, because I told you I couldn't think of a six-letter bird. What, I should have put down a five-letter bird? All right, Brody is today's winner. Eight correct answers. Do you think there's any correlation between the heat in this room and the angstiness? There might be. No, it has to do with deadlines. We'll get on that study. Brody, $500 donation. What's it going to be? Oh, let's go to Pheasants Unlimited. I mean, Pheasants Forever. Pheasants Forever, PF. $500 could buy you a lifetime dog membership.

Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down. And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound. Every once in a while, though, I find something I keep reaching for, and Wile E. Wallaby is one of those things. I first tried it because someone just handed me a bag and said, this isn't like any other kind of licorice you've had before. And they were right. Wile E. Wallaby makes authentic Australian-style licorice that's incredibly soft and chewy. And it doesn't have that artificial taste that turns a lot of people away from licorice in the first place. I keep some in my truck. I keep some in my fish shack. I keep some in my camper. And whether you like classic flavors or something a little different, there's probably one you'll end up liking. I'm keeping stocked around the house. Plus, it's made in the USA by a company that's been committed to quality and hometown values for over six decades. If you haven't tried Wile E. Wallaby yet, pick yourself up a bag. Use code MEATEATER at shop.wileewallaby.com for free shipping, and you can try it yourself. When you're in the backcountry, don't forget your own backcountry.
