Onyx Hunt is full of great features.
I always say it's my favorite app.
I use the thing on a daily basis.
Here's a new feature I'm very excited about.
Onyx Hunt Slow.
Location sharing puts your whole group on one live map, so you can look and tell where everyone is.
And if at night it gets dark and someone's not back yet, you don't got to guess what happened to them or where they are.
You can just look and tell where they are.
It has implications for safety, coordination.
I can't even list all the ways in which this is helpful.
You opt in, and then when you guys are done, the data goes away.
It's not stored.
Keep the folks in your deer camp on the same page with location sharing.

Welcome to Meteater Trivia.
The only game show where conservation always wins.
There is a prize.
Meteater will donate $500.
To the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.
I'm not your normal host, Spencer Newharth, but your Jabroni host, Nate Mason.
And today we're joined by Seth, Logan, Randall, Omar, Spencer, and Brody.
Pretty stacked room.
This is a 10.
Say again?
I'd like to think so.
This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from Meteater's four verticals,
which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
Meteater Trivia is brought to you by one of our favorite beers, Bush Light.
Bush Light, head for the mountains.
We're starting today with a mailbag question.
If you have a question you want the Trivia crew to answer,
then send your question with the subject line mailbag to Trivia at TheMeteater.com.
Clayton G. writes in,
My wife and I have a great relationship, especially when it comes to money.
We generally share our finances and trust each other to spend responsibly.
We also have a pretty simple rule that we both,
we both understand where neither of us really needs the other's approval for personal purchases.
We regularly make purchases in the same general price range without discussing them first.
Clothes, concerts, hobbies, etc.
Recently, I bought a new gun without telling my wife beforehand, and she was pretty upset about it.
Guns and hunting aren't really her thing,
so I understand that it's not exactly the same as buying a new pair of shoes or concert tickets.
But we've never had a rule that purchases over a certain dollar amount require a discussion or approval.
Should I apologize for not telling her about the gun,
or should we establish a rule that all purchases over a certain dollar amount have to be discussed first?
Please help.
How much was this gun?
I was gonna say, I wish I knew what the gun was.
He didn't say it.
Let's say it's a thousand bucks.
Is she upset about, there's like, missing information here.
How many guns does he have?
Is she upset about the gun, or the money?
She's not into guns?
Sounds like the gun.
The way he wrote it, he is, it seems like he's putting it in the same price range as other typical things.
If he bought a bicycle for this asking price, selling price, whatever,
if he bought a bicycle for this amount of money, would she be upset?
It seems like no.
Mmm.
Kosher, uh, bike would be kosher.
But he says something about hobbies in there are cool.
Yeah.
And I'd like that, this, what is hunting, if not, you know, this guy's favorite hobby, probably.
Yeah, if she's okay with this hunting,
what's the gun, what's the problem with a gun?
Like, I think she's got issues with guns, not money.
Well, if you, Randall would say they're two.
They're two, one in the same, but.
I took note of the fact that he said we generally share our finances.
Mmm.
Oh.
You know, maybe he needs to open up a few credit cards in his own name.
Uh-huh.
Keep those things secret.
Did he tell her the actual, I guess if they share credit cards and bank accounts,
she knows exactly how much he spent.
He can't lie about that.
Um, trying to figure out what else he can do.
Yes.
He asked if he should apologize.
I don't think that's going, like, that's only going to help her.
Even if he doesn't mean it, even if he doesn't feel like he should apologize.
I'll just say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that this has come between us.
This is, what's interesting is the way, the way he phrases his question.
After all that explanation, he says, should I apologize for not telling her about the gun,
or should we establish a rule that all purchases over a certain dollar amount have to be discussed first?
I think neither.
No, I would say both.
I would say, I would say apologize this time and then just set ground rules for the next time.
Set ground rules for the future.
Like that's, that's, that's how, how you move through this.
I don't like giving marriage advice, man.
It's just like, everyone's different.
I don't like, I wouldn't tell my wife if I was buying a gun and she wouldn't give a shit
if I did.
And I would do the opposite.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
There's no way to win.
Well, he's asking for help.
Keep it a secret.
I don't know.
I mean, were they meant to be together?
Well, Clayton, I don't think we've solved your problem.
Spencer's right.
Apologize.
Yes.
Yes.
I would say sorry.
And would it make you more mad if I told you that I was buying the gun and you disagreed
and I went and did it anyway, because either way I'm buying the gun.
How many more guns is he going to buy?
You know, like, is he playing, is he, are we talking Randall numbers?
Like, is this something that's going to come up once every five years or once every five
weeks?
Yeah.
Five weeks.
Yeah.
Is he have stuff on consignment at the pawn shop?
I mean, these are all, I don't know.
Yeah.
What else is he spending his money on?
Yeah.
Hopefully that helped Clayton.
Probably didn't.
Yeah.
Say sorry.
Love you Clayton.
What, what would Sydney say?
She's in, she's in this situation all the time.
She's aware of the situation she's in.
She's accepted.
I mean, I have a pretty, I don't have like a ton of guns.
I have a one in.
You buy and sell.
I have a, I have not quite a one in one out policy, but I don't hoard two in one out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's not even that.
I mean, that would have gotten crazy.
How many guns are in your gun safe?
You don't want to tell people that.
No.
I mean, let me, let me put a number and you say higher or lower.
How about that?
Sure.
22.
Oh, lower.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Okay.
You're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're not even a gun guy.
No.
Take your title away.
How many have you sold?
22.
Then I forget about.
Yeah.
Okay.
How many are outside of your gun safe?
We got three more yesterday.
Yeah.
By the way.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
It's probably, it's, it's in the, it's in the teens.
Okay.
Might be high teens.
Uh, gosh.
Yeah.
That's a good question.
Medium.
I do have an Excel spreadsheet of every gun I've ever bought.
Oh really?
I'd be interested in seeing that.
Oh man.
Yeah.
It is cool.
It's fun.
My buddy, we tried to do it for my buddy one time and it wasn't even worth.
Yeah.
We couldn't scratch the surface.
All right.
Well, today as your token jabroni host, I want to give some love to a friend.
I want to give some love to a fellow jabroni.
Contrary to popular belief, we do have real jobs here at MeatEater.
And today we're going to talk about Omar.
Hey.
Not only a jabroni, but also an associate producer and ultra marathon extraordinaire.
Sometimes.
He's the one who does all the logistics to make MeatEater episodes happen.
And he still finds time to run a ton of marathons.
Keep it up Omar.
See, Yanni comes on here and talks about all his marathon and shit.
Omar's just doing it silently.
Yeah.
Quite professional.
Yes.
I think we should institute a new intro segment where Spencer just compliments somebody.
Yeah.
I felt good.
Thanks, Nate.
Yeah.
That's nice.
I'm trying to give more compliments lately.
Speaking of new things to implement, this episode, since it's hosted by jabroni, has
a twist.
Uh-oh.
Ooh.
After I read the question for the second time, the room can vote to receive a hint.
If the majority votes in favor, I will give a pre-written hint.
Spencer, what do you think about him going rogue?
Yeah, go for it.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
The room can only receive one hint during the show.
When you say vote, it's like a majority vote.
It's majority rules.
Okay.
Just pull out a six of us.
So if there's a question where only one person knows the answer, everybody just cancels them
out.
It could happen.
Yeah.
Sorry, Randall.
I will say the hints are pretty obvious.
They kind of give it away.
Well, there's only one he said.
No.
They're pre-written.
We can just vote.
We can only have one hint.
We could just vote for a hint every time.
No.
You can only do it once.
We only get one.
We can only do it once.
Right.
I got you.
It's like phoning a friend.
This is what a guest host should bring to
to the table. Yeah, it's fun. You didn't tell us that. You want to host again next week, Randall?
Yeah, sure. Well, the Cameron Index today is a 3.5, so the winner should get a 7.
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? You stand to win everything.
Game on, suckers. First question is brought to us by Mike Son. Category, conservation.
Which state is entirely within the watershed of the Missouri River? A, Montana, B, Missouri, C,
South Dakota, or D, Nebraska. Which state is entirely within the
river? Would the room like a hint? Nope.
Nope. All right.
This is a weird question. Can you explain this question a little?
I think it's saying that all the water in the state winds up in the Missouri River
and nowhere else. Is that what you're saying?
That would be a hint, wouldn't it? Yes, that is what I'm saying.
Oh, geez.
I should include a photo on this one. Can I do a late ad photo, Phil, or no?
Well, you do have a photo. It's just that I was going to show it later.
Of this one? I think so.
Oh, yeah, but that's not. It's something else?
That is important, but it'll answer their question.
This is the most silent this room has ever been during a question.
Yeah, what do we got going on? Who's excited? I'm trying to. I'm counting my guys.
Guns.
Spencer, I think my marker lid is on your right side.
Vandal, you know what you brought as a guest host was the introducing people,
like you're dealing cards.
That's right.
What an obvious thing I should have been doing for five years.
I know, and I think it's really taken off.
You solved it.
You had your eight-year anniversary this month.
I did.
That's a long time. How's it feel?
At the company. That's what I meant.
It's almost the same for my marriage, though. Very, very similar.
Wow.
You feel the same about both?
Anybody need more time?
Oh, sorry.
All right, reveal your answers.
Seth says South Dakota.
Logan says Nebraska.
Randall, South Dakota.
Omar, Nebraska.
Spencer, South Dakota.
And Brody, Nebraska.
The room's got it. It's Nebraska.
Oh.
Really?
You want to show that picture I just sent?
Nate, I just saw the picture, and I was trying to get it,
and I missed everyone's answers, so hold on here.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm going to read the flavor text.
In March 1877, a flood moved the Missouri River about a mile to the southeast.
That left the town of Carter Lake, Iowa,
stranded on the Nebraska side of the river.
Iowa and Nebraska fought over it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court,
which ruled in 1892 that Carter Lake still belonged to Iowa.
Today, it's the only city in Iowa west of the Missouri River.
Which picture do you want to show first?
A map of the Missouri River drainage would be nice.
There it is.
So you'll see South Dakota, just a little corner of it's out.
Montana.
Like, still Nike.
The northwest is out.
Was it Logan, Omar, and Brody that got that?
Yep.
Okay.
That was a great question.
Apologies, that's my fault.
No, you're good.
Can you show the next photo?
Yeah.
Which is a map outline of Carter Lake, Iowa.
So you can see there's the east Omaha, there's the Epley Field, Omaha Airport,
and there's a little bit of Iowa.
There's a little chunk of Iowa that you can see how it used to be part of Iowa.
And then the river moved, and the Supreme Court ruled it is part of Iowa.
Look at that.
I assume some of that water in western Nebraska flowed west.
Yep.
Great question, Mike Saun.
We're on to question number two.
This next great question is via Robert Randallet.
It's kind of like a small Randall, a Randallet.
The category. Those are hard to find.
The category is fishing.
Fishing.
Police Chief Martin Brody states,
you're going to need a bigger boat in this classic thriller.
Everybody feel like they've seen this?
Definitely not.
More than once.
Does the room want a hint?
No, come on.
I got a great hint for this one.
You guys are welcome to vote on it.
Can you tell us the hint afterwards?
Yeah, I could.
Oh, yeah.
What was your hint for the first one?
This water creates a lot of corn husks.
Oh, my God.
That's a good one.
They're all pretty much like that.
Wow.
Some are better than others.
All right.
Flip them up.
Seth, Jaws, Logan, Blank, Randall, Jaws, Omar, Spencer, and Brody.
Jaws.
Was your hint going to be the music?
It was going to be.
I don't know if I've ever seen Jaws.
Are you serious?
Oh, dude, you got to go watch it tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
I don't think you have to.
But don't mess with the sequels because they're awful.
Leave work early and go watch it.
Jaws 2?
Isn't that when they're out on the sailboat in the beginning?
Yeah, it comes after.
Like, the baby of the first shark comes after them.
Oh, I didn't know that there was family in it.
Author and movie co-writer Peter Benchley got the idea for Jaws after reading about Montauk sport fisherman Frank Mundus catching an enormous shark in 1964.
The movie adaptation set off the so-called Jaws effect as fishermen killed thousands of sharks during shark fishing tournaments.
Benchley spent his later years campaigning to protect sharks and said Jaws was entirely a fiction.
Hmm.
Question number three.
The category is hunting.
This ten-letter word is a taxidermy technique that utilizes bacteria to break down soft tissue on a skull.
Randall and Brody furiously writing.
The rest of the room slowly writing.
This 10-letter word is a taxidermy technique that utilizes bacteria to break down soft tissue on a skull.
I think I did this question recently.
I kind of remember this.
Really?
i'm i apologize no i'm sorry you've been busy it's not a big deal i have been pretty busy
raising i did this this year raising little natelets well just natelets feeding my wife
that's about it anybody need more time yeah okay you don't see that guy near a diaper
oh no dude i'm i'm on the diaper game man yeah have you seen his fingernails terrible
Yeah, she had a big one the other day.
How do you say how many blowouts you got?
We're up to like three legit blowouts.
You just wait.
You get one of the ones where it goes all the way up their back
and to their neck and to their head.
She's on milk, so it's not that bad yet.
Wait until it's in her hair.
Oh, yeah.
I changed my sister's, because they're younger.
I changed a lot of diapers.
You guys make this sound like so much fun.
It's a great time.
Wait until they start on solids.
Well, yeah, you should have Spencer and this lady come over for a weekend and, like, just take care of the baby.
Oh, it's a great idea, dude.
Try and get him, and then he'll be like, man, I want to have one of these.
Man, I'll show you a video of her sneezing, and you'll want to get immediately.
All right, anybody need any more time?
I don't think I'm going to get it.
Dang, man.
All right, show your answers.
Seth, maceration.
Logan, nothing.
Randall, maceration.
Omar, nothing.
Spencer, maceration.
Brody, maceration.
I had mastication, but that's chewing.
i think i would have given that to you how do you spell it it's not tan uh it's m-a-c-e-r-a-t-i-o-n
maceration um i ruined phil if you want to show show that first picture i put them all in perfect
um i ruined my first euros via failed attempt at the boiling method and have
since switched to maceration so you're blaming like no i i just screwed well okay i bypassed
the timer. You're like, oh, this doesn't work. No, no, no, no. I'm just watching Jaws. I was
watching a movie. I forgot about it. It lit the skulls on fire. That's my own fault. But if you're
a busy man that watches movies too late in the night, here's my process. You boiled that much
water. Okay. You went way too long. No, there's a long story. Keep critiquing him. Okay. He doesn't
know what he did wrong. I'm going to give you a great explanation. There's no good explanation
for burning a hole in a pot. Now I need to tell you. Okay. That was a turkey fryer. It has a 15
minute cutoff i tried to bypass the 15 minute cutoff by like connecting some wires
no well that's the key it didn't work and so i was going out there for about two hours turning
on and off i kept doing it and then the last time when we started the movie i was like i will turn
this one more time it'll go 15 minutes i we finish the movie i walk outside so let's check on it and
that has happened and so the 15 flames oh there was fire coming out of the eyes it was yeah so
those skulls are all jacked up they look kind of cool actually it's like you did art they were
cool until i dropped them and now they're in a aldi bag waiting to be repaired in some way i did
that to a set of bear claws in one of sydney's parents really nice pots they melted down like
if you put a bunch of butterfinger not a butterfinger butterscotch candies in the bottom
of a pan and burned them when is this photo from uh this was a 2022 yeah ohio and virginia buck
it's also hard to fry a turkey in 15 minutes that's just a bad product they sold you
i agree
but i bought it so it's my own fault um i won't go in my whole process because we talked about
that for a long time but i like maceration now what was your hint oh uh you do this to
strawberries before putting them on a shortcake okay they're all over the place all right number
four i'm so pissed if we voted
the category is conservation every july
saltwater cowboys round up and sell ponies from this atlantic island
to manage the herd and raise funds for the local fire department
seth is furrowing his brow in consternation logan doesn't know where the atlantic is
spencer's looking good brody's looking pretty good
omar's reading every july saltwater cowboys
round up and sell ponies from this atlantic island to manage the herd
and raise funds for the local fire department randall you got this one
i have two islands in mind so do i
and i think i'm gonna change the one that i have would the room like a hint on this one
no okay
i think we we might get to the end and not use our hint
yeah
that'd be great i can feel that brewing well i when i when i saw the the mix i figured that
might happen if you had kind of a like if you weren't playing and you brought someone like me
i think there'd be the critical mass of jabronis what if it's it's it has to be a majority vote
majority vote split doesn't get it six yeah so we could phil could be the tiebreaker
phil's not playing the game phil's not out there phil doesn't have the franchise he's
managing the game just throwing it out there you know making it up as we go i don't want
to use the hint because then i think actually randall and brody will get it and i don't think
the hint is going to help me
what uh was there a specific part that tipped you guys off i don't know if i have it right
like i said i've got two answers i would this is one i actually would like the hint on
you could start a movement vote for it is the hint pretty good like the jaws one though
the hint will help i mean it will definitely it will help i mean i could use a hint
oh a little groundswell of you raise raise your hand if you'd like no i don't want that anymore
nobody wants to hit i'll stand with you oh we got two defectors no no more
set i'm hold on no no you have it no i don't know um seth uh gave randall his proxy
did you know proxy thanks bud yeah yeah i mean randall gave me his proxy my geography is just
so poor that uh i'm gonna have to go with it i'm gonna have to go with it i'm gonna have to go with
it i'm gonna probably make myself look stupid by my guess i do that every day just write down
all of the islands in the atlantic that you know that have wild ponies how you could how you work
through it one by one how you could give a hint for one or the other that's what i yeah
all right we gotta wrap this up almost everybody ready show your answers seth chinkity logan hawaii
randall chinkity omar new jersey spencer
outer banks brody assateague the correct answer is assateague or chinkateague oh oh good for you
guys i was sweating it trying to go between i thought the question was gonna be something like
so it technically it is ass related that yeah the technically the answer is assateague however
chinkateague island or chinkateague national park includes assateague and so you kind of get into
if you have chinkateague or assateague you got it right technically i'm the only one who's going to
only one that brody did get it the most i did write down assateague i just put it in the record
my hint was gonna be chinkateague oh yeah legend says it's not even like what
to a guy's chinkateague on his board that would have been really confusing
legend says the ponies of assateague and chinkateague swam ashore from a wrecked spanish
galleon the park service says they most likely came from 17th century farmers turning horses
loose on the island to dodge fencing
laws and livestock taxes taxes the ponies swim between the pony swim between assateague and
chinkateague began in 1925 when the new chinkateague fire company needed money and auctioned off 15
colts at the carnival today the auction raises money for the fire department and keeps the
herd at roughly 150 ponies their famous pot bellies come from the salty marsh diet which
makes them drink about twice as much water as domestic horses is that is it north carolina
where was that no maryland virginia yeah the maryland side they kind of just let them do it
whatever the virginia side there's a fence and they they have a lease and they're like managed
herd i was there as a little kid and i remember being just really grossed out by the number of
swollen up ticks on those things oh that is gross yeah now i'm interested it's a cool place
don't go uh question five the category is fishing the blank is the colloquial name for decompression
sickness the medical condition divers may
experience after surfacing too quickly
the blank is the colloquial name for decompression sickness
the medical condition divers may experience after surfacing too quickly
randall spencer brody seth big spearfisher logan no i think i got this one yeah omar nope not feeling
it i'm gonna try anybody uh you're using colloquial right there but
i think it is you got what i'm saying i mean i don't even know what colloquial whatever is
to be honest right if i'm wrong it's like the common terminology right isn't that what colloquial
i thought it was tied to region no i thought colloquial just meant informal go on okay
go on who needs more time oh with the room like a hint nope cool no you got something
nope
you pulled it out did you get it i mean i don't know i don't feel like that the way
no i'm not going to criticize nate's wording go ahead you go for it no i'm here for it man
you're doing a fine job thanks anybody need more time man i don't think i'm gonna get any all right
show your answers seth says barotrauma logan bond ben's randall ben's logan or omar nothing
spencer's
ben's brody ben's they got it it's the ben's is barotrauma the same thing as the
is the ben's 100 isn't decompression sickness another name for diarrhea
the term ben's originally came from bridge builders constructing the brooklyn bridge
workers digging the foundation impressed workers dug the foundations and pressurized wooden chambers
and would surface too quickly causing nitrogen bubbles to form in their blood and tissues
the resulting pain caused divers to hunch over at the hips to
People called it the Grecian bend after a fashionable women's posture of the time
So you're not giving it to set when you told me it was the same thing
The barotrauma is what fish get
Then how can it be the same thing? I said the medical conditioner divers may experience so I'm not giving it stuff. Yeah, I'm sorry
Don't be sorry, but that is what fish get
All right, I think it's right I'm a fish guy not a people guy. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, he's a vet
We need a scoreboard update. Oh, yes, we do
It's a pretty close game
We got Logan and Omar on the board with two points Seth and Spencer have three Randall has four and Brody with a perfect game

mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them
out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you got WeatherTech,
you're going to be covered.
I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a
big-time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some
WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig
nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of a set. Visit weathertech.com for

If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question
to trivia at themeateater.com. The category is cooking. Known for its annual hoagie fest,
this East Coast gas station and convenience store is named after the Ojibwe word for goose,
which is
depicted on its logo.
Best gas station in the world.
Amen, brother.
What do you like about this gas station?
Let's not get into it.
It's hoagies.
There's this one and another one that's neck and neck.
Yeah, man. But that other one, we'll talk about it.
Yeah.
I'd love to hear it.
Anybody else been to one of these?
Seth?
Randall, you've never been to one?
No, I'm doubting my answer.
Ooh.
Hmm.
Yeah, I've never been to the East Coast, really.
Dude, Logan.
There's a lot of cool things to do on the East Coast.
You can get out, brother.
This is a. I've got something that I associate with hoagies.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Seth, let me get a little taste.
Hmm.
Well, I might. We could get a hint.
We could get a hint.
No.
How about. I'd vote hint.
No, no.
Damn.
Wait, raise. I mean, just. Hold on, really quick.
Nate, where are you from again?
Is that too much of a hint?
I don't think it is.
You said East Coast.
It's East Coast.
It's East Coast.
I'm from. Well, I went to high school in Maryland.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because I will say I don't think this hint is going to be helpful unless you grew up
on the East Coast.
I will say that.
Well, it's a jabroni episode.
Sorry.
Let's ride it out.
No hints?
No hints?
No hints.
No hints?
Okay.
Reveal your answers.
Can't come up with one.
Seth, Wawa, Logan, Honkers, Randall, Wawa, Omar, nothing, Spencer, nothing, and Brody,
Sheetz.
The correct answer.
I was trying to think of it.
It's Wawa.
That's the other one that I was talking about.
Seth, tell us about Wawa and Sheetz.
I feel bad for the people on the West Coast because they go into a gas station.
I'm going to not name any names.
But you basically can just get some candy bars, a fountain drink, and maybe a roller
dog if you're lucky.
If you go into a Wawa or Sheetz, you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner.
You could have a first date there if you wanted to.
Cater your right.
How many first dates did you have at a Wawa?
Zero, but I regret that.
And did they result in any seconds?
No.
This gas station chain is technically named after its hometown of Wawa, PA.
The town's name comes from the Ojibwe word, Wewe, which means snow goose.
However, the goose in the logo is a Canada goose, which is the only mistake Wawa has ever made.
We didn't have them up by, up near Erie.
They didn't have them up there?
I only think of them as a Pennsylvania goose.
I think of them as a Pennsylvania goose.
There's one in State College now, I'm pretty sure.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
I thought it was going to be, gotta have a. That wouldn't do it.
Good thing you didn't vote for it.
Question seven.
The category is woodsmanship.
This 12-letter word is the scientific name for soft tissue turning into bone.
Boys, these are the only two that actually. Boys, these are the only two that actually know it.
Should we do a hint?
Ooh.
Spencer knows it.
I'm down for a hint.
Oh, dang.
Spencer knows it.
I wouldn't vote for the hint on this one.
Okay.
I was grasping for this one.
So we should just take the L on this one?
Yeah, don't vote for the hint on this one.
Unless. I mean, I think it's more helpful than some other hints.
Really?
Yeah.
But only if you're from a certain part of the country.
Yeah, maybe.
Just think back to your training in Latin.
I took two years of Latin.
I have zero training in Latin.
It was a joke.
Except for Latin.
It wasn't very funny.
Except for tree names.
Oh, yeah.
You're a dendrologist.
I wouldn't say that.
Gen dendrophiliac?
I took a class, dendrology.
I know you.
Man, my brother-in-law is going to be upset on me for missing this one.
He's on his way to become a doctor.
I bet he won't be that upset.
Dude.
No, no.
He's going to be pleased to show off his specialized knowledge to you.
Yeah, that's right.
He's going to say, this is what I bring to the table, Omar, as a brother-in-law.
That's true.
I strive to just be a good brother-in-law in my life.
I think if you're a good brother-in-law, you're a good everything.
You're a good husband.
You're a good son.
You're a good brother.
Just a good brother-in-law.
That's nice.
That's good advice.
That's a good answer.
Does anybody need more time?
Not a good son.
You might not be a good son.
If you're really tight with your sister's husband and you guys have a bunch of fun and party together,
but you're neglectful of your parents.
Just generally.
Just generally.
The math should work.
I feel like you're extrapolating far too much.
A lot of good brother-in-laws in this room, though, I'd say.
I'd be like, yeah, that's a good brother-in-law.
All right, everyone.
Flip your boards.
Seth's got nothing.
Logan.
Logan, bonification.
Randall, ossification.
Omar, nothing.
Spencer, calcification.
Brody, crossed-out calcification.
Rote, ossification.
Dang.
Randall and Brody got it.
It's ossification.
Did my Latin hint help you?
No, I had it before that, actually.
Damn.
Ossification of the skeleton occurs during gestation in mammals at 15 weeks for pregnant women
and on an annual basis for the antlers of cervids.
What was the hint?
Sounds like it was named after a senator from Georgia.
That's a good, that's a good hint.
All right, we're on to question eight.
The category's hunting.
Sam Walton founded Walmart in the northwest corner of this southern state,
partly to take advantage of the quail hunting here and in its neighboring states.
Oh, confident, confident room.
You got three boards down, four boards.
Logan's frowning, smiling, Omar's writing.
I think we're good.
You guys ready?
Flip them boards.
Seth, Arkansas.
Logan, Arkansas.
The rest of the room, Arkansas.
We got 100 percenter.
Does that do any money or anything?
Boy, the Walmart around here.
I think the Walton.
The Walton's are big into bike trails, right?
Yeah, mountain biking.
It's a beautiful place.
In his autobiography, Made in America, Walton said he picked Bentonville, Arkansas, in part
to get closer to good quail hunting.
Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas
are within an hour of one another,
which, in his words,
gave him four quail seasons in four states.
Walmart's house brand of dog food,
Old Roy, is named after his English setter.
That's cute.
Great flavor text.
Thank you.
It's a great book.
You should read it.
What was the hint for that one?
Clay Newcomb?
No, that's too. I almost said that.
Missouri is one of the neighboring states.
All right.
And with that,
we've got a scoreboard update.
Oh, jeez.
Wow.
Logan, Omar, you have three points.
Spencer, you have four.
Seth, you got five points.
Randall and Brody,
seven points apiece,
tied up in first place.
All right.
Question number nine.
I can't talk right now.
We're playing trivia.
Who was that?
My buddy.
Gun buddy?
Sorry, are you trying to sell a gun?
I forgot to put my phone on airplane mode.
It was ringing.
I thought that'd be funny.
Well, you should have put him on then.
Phil's mad.
Disrespect.
Sanctity of your studio has been violated.
Question nine.
This next great question is via Kyle Water.
This southwestern bird featured in a long-running cartoon
is also known as a chaparral cock.
I'm probably pronouncing that wrong.
Chaparral.
Chaparral.
Chaparral.
Boy, from Assateague to this,
this game of trivia is really running the spectrum
at difficulty levels.
Yep.
Just want to include everyone.
He's using all of the United States.
We got to use our hint on the next one.
Otherwise, it's going to happen.
Use it or lose it.
Revealing our answers.
Seth, Roadrunner.
Logan, Woodpecker.
Randall, Omar, Spencer, and Brody.
Roadrunner.
They got it.
The greater Roadrunner.
Hasn't seen Jaws.
Hasn't seen Wile E. Coyote.
What are you, the Woodpecker?
Is that not a. He's probably one.
That's a cartoon.
Yeah.
That is a cartoon, right?
I just don't associate him with the Southwestern.
Or a chaparral cock.
Yeah.
Greater Roadrunners are also known as snake killers,
ground cuckoos, and medicine birds.
Unlike the Roadrunner and the Warner Brothers cartoons,
Roadrunners are voracious predators
and can fly short distances.
Oh, that's tough.
Isn't that a cool little bird?
What is Woody the Woodpecker from?
And they don't go. Looks like a dinosaur.
No, no.
My hint was going to be meep, meep.
Yeah.
Would have that helped you, Logan?
Maybe.
I don't know.
I was flipping those for some reason in my head.
Woody Woodpecker isn't Looney Tunes,
but I don't remember the company.
He's like Porky Pig.
It's not Hanna-Barbera.
It might be something like that.
No, Porky Pig is Looney Tunes as well.
Cool.
Hmm.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Do you have a phone number on that one, Randall?
Yeah, can we get to the bottom of this?
Yeah, I'm looking it up right now.
While he's doing that,
we've got a correct answer review.
Number one, Nebraska.
Two, Jaws.
Three, Maceration.
Four, Assateague or Chincoteague.
Five, the Benz.
Six, Wawa.
Seven, Ossification.
Eight, Arkansas.
And nine, Greater Roadrunner or Roadrunner.
He's associated with. With Universal now, but not Looney Tunes.
My phone was on airplane mode, by the way.
It just rang anyway.
Just strong Wi-Fi in here.
All right, Phil, we've got a scoreboard update
going into question 10.
Okay, it's down to two players.
Can you guess who those two players are?
It's Randall and Brody.
They have eight points and they're tied up.
All right.
Best of luck, Randall.
Same.
You guys got a perfect game right now?
No.
No.
We missed one.
The category is gear.
In 1972, FBI agent Bill Rogers pioneered the first holster
made from this composite material,
eventually becoming the most popular non-leather holster option.
I think our two frontrunners have it,
which is awesome because I'm so excited about my tiebreaker question.
I really like your tiebreaker question, too, Nate.
Thank you.
It's very good.
I've been holding on to that for months.
Good for us.
Yeah.
Randall, you got this?
I hope so.
Brody?
Big gun boy over there.
I saw him counting his guns in the corner of his whiteboard.
What'd you come up with?
I got to 18.
18.
Okay, so Seth, change your answer.
22 over under.
No, and I said higher.
I'm a high teen, so I know exactly where I'm at.
There's probably one or two he's forgotten about, too.
Is it counting the three that you just acquired?
No.
Okay, so 21.
Okay.
Wait, so where are you selling these guns?
Damn, I nailed the over-under on that.
That was great.
Thank you.
Don't ask so many questions.
I'm legitimately curious.
Like, where, like. Online transactions?
Walmart parking lot?
I ship them all over the country.
Randall's on the FBI list.
I think the last one was a gentleman.
Yeah.
In Florida.
He got kicked off Venmo.
Yeah.
Have you checked out TaxSwap yet?
I have.
I don't know if it's my speed.
Yeah, not your taste.
Oh.
No.
I don't need, like, ballistic helmets.
Give us the hint.
Just for. Oh, yeah.
Do we want to vote for it?
I'll take a hint.
Yeah.
It's me and Seth.
Hint.
Hint.
I'm just curious.
Not my best.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
How confident are you?
Hint.
Hint.
Hint.
Well, just. This is the last one.
All right, if you want a hint, raise your hand.
I'm just afraid Brody has it wrong.
We don't get it right now.
Logan doesn't want to vote for it.
Logan, you don't want to vote for it?
All right.
All right, fine.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's Brody's.
We did it.
All right.
Not a codex, but. Oh, I got this one.
Say it again.
Not a codex, but. Oh.
That didn't do anything for me.
Really?
No.
Think about. You got it wrong.
I think I did.
Is everyone. Oh, no, no, no.
Are you changing. Oh, he's changing his answer.
Let him change his answer.
No, that can't be it.
I don't know.
Think of the company JC Custom blank.
That's a good hint.
That's what I got.
I like it.
I bought something from them.
I'm an ivory holsters man.
Okay.
All right, everyone ready?
Flip your boards.
Spencer, Logan, Randall, Omar.
Say kydex.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Seth says kydex.
Logan says kyvex.
Kyvex.
Randall, kydex.
Omar, kydex.
Spencer, MDF.
Brody, kydex.
The correct answer is kydex.
You're going to give it to Logan?
I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
It's kydex and tyvek combined.
It's fine.
Ram and Haas developed kydex in 1965 for aircraft interiors,
but Bill Rogers had the idea to shape it around a pistol,
which led to the paddle holster and the first retention holster.
Like Kleenex and Q-tips, kydex is a brand name.
The generic name is acrylic PVC thermoplastic.
All right, I think that means we're going into a tiebreaker.
Tiebreaker for the second week.
Can we vote for a hint?
Oh, we already did.
No, the hints I didn't have on him for tiebreakers.
Should we come up with one on the spot?
But you also voted for it, so it's done.
You can be like colder, warmer.
Set the rules.
Set the rules.
We try not to make the same mistake we made last week.
It's just between Randall and Brody.
But if someone gets. If someone gets it right on the head, we do some. $100 more dollars.
All right, here we go.
What is the atomic number of tungsten on the periodic table?
If we need to fill this dead space, I could recite the first 36 elements.
That's impressive.
You could.
You could.
Wow.
How many elements are there?
We know it's not 136.
He gave us a hint.
Wow, another hint.
That's what I was hoping for.
My bad.
Bad tracks.
That's on brand.
What did you say, 30?
I don't know.
I can't repeat it.
Yep, sorry.
That ship's passed.
My bad.
Brody also gave us a hint on last week's tiebreaker.
Oh.
I did?
He said between this and this.
Yeah.
Where's the thought process at, Seth?
What are you guys thinking?
Well, I was trying to run back what you just said there, and then pick a number.
I'm trying to distract you from that process.
Yeah, too late.
Throw some sand.
Logan?
Took a guess.
Cool.
Nate has become one of the most educated people in the country on tungsten at this point.
Why?
I don't know why.
I just did.
You did the whole website.
I did do a website, and then I figured out that it was a really bad idea, so I took it down.
Wait, you made a website about tungsten?
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
I always wanted a website so bad.
You could use that one.
I had a Zango.
So what was on the website?
We don't need to talk about it.
We'll talk about it afterwards.
Oh, okay.
That's what I have.
I need some tungsten.
All right.
Flip your boards.
Seth says 14.
Oh, no way.
Logan, 51.
Omar, 99.
Spencer, 99.
And our two players that matter.
Kendall also says 99.
- That's weird.
109 it's gonna be weird if we're wrong the correct answer i don't think we're right is 74
randall got it tungsten's chemical symbol is w not t because of its other name wolfram
that comes from the middle high german word meaning wolf's foam the old name for the or
it's mine from tungsten means heavy stone in swedish it's great randall congratulations
where are we gonna send the money let's uh let's send the money to the national wild turkey
federation oh thinking about thinking about heavy heavy pellets what do we got may they find a safe
home now you gotta tell your website yeah i didn't know about this i made a website that
measured the effect the additional cost you'd pay for an additional yard of effective range if
you're paying you're buying tss
you're buying tss
versus for turkeys for turkeys was it as a lame argument the altitude um no we didn't factor in i
had a standard the the out or the formula used like i think we just used c level what was the
bad idea in this process um you didn't figure out how to make money off it no i did figure out how
to do that um i didn't figure out like some of the privacy concerns before so now everyone's
you know i got your social security and i know where you live and i'm coming to steal your tongue
