Ep. 843: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCVI

Welcome to Meet Eater's 12 and 26

“presented by Multi-Mobile and On-X Maps.”

12 of Meet Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are long-form episodes, so you get more of what you love.

The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.

If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree.

Check it out now on Meet Eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's a meady podcast. You ready, Phil?

You're also thinking of one bourbon, one shot. Two, one. One beaver. Yes, we're ready, buddy. Hope you're ready.

What is? Two beaver. That's-- there's an area of church there, right? Yeah, if they're one bourbon, one scotch, one beaver. All right, take your way.

You done her animal? I was waiting for you, my f***. Whoa. Welcome to Meet Eater's trivia. The R-rated version from Randall.

Epic HR, sir. You son of a f***. It's not me swearing kids. It's that one over there. This is the only game show where conservation--

Wait, we're not redoing. No, let's stay in the-- All right. Tighten it up, Randall. I'll leave it out.

It's man. I'm your host, Brody Henderson. And I'm joined today by Janice Petal. Spencer, New Hood, Pottymouth, Randall Williams. This is Ms. Seth Morris and Cory Calkins.

It's a 10 round quiz show with questions for media's four verticals, kind of, usually sort of, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. I don't think I have a cooking contest. That's not good for me.

There's a prize. Meet Eater will donate 500 bucks to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. I FAQ. I didn't have any, because I put this script together, like, 30

minutes ago. So Spencer sent me one. And Janice, our listeners are dying to know. If you sold your beloved six, five, six, five, six, five, sweet.

That's right. I sure did. You did. Oh, yeah. Thanks to this, your podcast.

Oh, yeah.

A couple people wrote in, and the second guy that wrote in

was one person to lay, one email to lay, really. And yeah. This is real easy transaction. He said, what do you want for? I told him how much I paid for it.

How much I needed to get out of it. And he's like, all right, sounds good. I sent it off to Pennsylvania. So with optics or no, I did. You had a, you know, nothing paid to have a scope on it and

just left it on there and gave it to the guy, kind of, freebie. Nice. It immediately to radio wasn't dying this week. I was going to pitch a segment someday that just be the classifieds. Like, so-and-so has both.

Oh, dude, I got all kinds of stuff I need to sell. Can we do that anyway? Yeah, on the news show, maybe the news show will have classifieds. And like, so-and-so in Maine needs a hunting partner for duck season, we're going to solve some stuff.

“You need to sweep bare-rug, call the boys at the meaty”

their flagship store. They're selling one or what? Selling mine. Oh. One of mine.

In this story, we need one, which I found out after I had two. How much you asking? I'm not, we're not going to, it's price here.

It's perfect for your second home in Montana.

Yeah, what's their price? Yeah. All right, before we get on in the questions, like I said, I just finished this script about 30, 40 minutes ago. So I don't have like a carry index, but I do have a stat

of the week related to that, which is, when Spencer hosts, the average player gets 5.05 questions right. When there's a guest host like myself, the average person gets 4.04 questions right. So a whole point less.

When there's a guest host, so it's probably going to be hard. So just like bite the bullet and suck it up. But this is also really hastily prepared. Well, we'll see. Oh, I don't think I tried to pitch easier questions,

knowing that we usually as guest host. No, I'm not going to, like, just set you up with a bunch of like soft balls. No, I know, but it's no fun if it's super hard for everybody. So I try to be in somewhere in between.

But this is obviously, we all still end up pitching too hard.

“Yeah, well, I mean, I think, so you can't think about that.”

Just go learn more, I guess, it's a tough batch. But it's weird, this is a weird part. You say the average player, but what does that mean?

it's the same thing, yeah.

So that's 5.05 correct.

“I know, I think it should be the average of the top three players.”

Yeah, it'd be higher, but yeah. Probably a question higher, I guess. It might be different. Maybe maybe they get more answers correct with this. We'll have more stance next time.

There's a guest host to show you guys at the target. All right, play the drop, Phil. Oh, don't sound so excited, Brody. I normally sense he gives me some runway. No, I'm not feeling just going to be a blind side.

I know what I stand the most. Like my goal is not to like host like Spencer. Just take a look at him, just take a look at him, just take a look at him. Beyond your toes. Monsuckers.

That's you, Brody. I can't hear. Is it over yet? Yeah, it's over. So that's the one.

That's the one that I like. Here we go. Let's go. There we go. I hate this trend that Steve has started.

He's gotten everyone to mutiny with against the headphones. There he is. Sometimes there's a lot. I mean, I had phone now. When we're doing this, headphones, I can't wear headphones and steas in here because

he's just loud. He's just in the mic, talking the whole time. I can't. I can't. Hey, why don't you go ahead, Brody?

You keep them on, Seth. You do what makes you feel good about yourself.

All right, first question is conservation.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this state has the most fish and game warden.

“Is it a Pennsylvania, B. Washington, C. Texas or D. Florida?”

It's a great question. That is a great question. Which state has the most fish and game warden? Pennsylvania, Washington, Texas or Florida? Yes, you wrote an answer down right away.

It's unlike you. Well, I just had a gut feeling. Got to go with it. I know I wear in the Lucky Canyon hat, too. That might give you some extra powers.

I'm going to start thinking where I'm going to donate my winnings. Everyone got an answer? Yeah. All right. Flip them over.

We got you honest with Pennsylvania, Seth Pennsylvania, Randall, Texas, Corey, Texas, Alyssa, Texas, Spencer, Florida. Whoa. Makes sense. We have a correct answer.

Yep. Spencer. Mm-hm. It's Florida. It's happening again.

I'm sorry.

“According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data from May 2023, the state's”

with the highest employment levels for fish and game wardens are, Florida was seven to 800 officers, Texas, 480 to 500 officers, New York, 390 to 400, Tennessee, which is kind of our surprise, 350 to 370, North Carolina, 370, and California, 350. Mm-hm. So, what are one and two?

What are the numbers? Florida and Texas, Florida, 7 to 800, Texas, around 500. Wow. I think that's in Pennsylvania. You got to take into concern all that coastline that you got to patrol.

Texas got some coastline, too. Yeah, they do. They do. They had a lot of land. 200 fewer game wardens.

Yeah. Small government. Mm-hm. All right. Spencer got it, right?

It wasn't that hard. It's almost like Spencer knew that question. Mm-hm. Okay. Question number two.

Ecology. Oh. Name two of the only four states east of the Mississippi River with Alpine, Tundra environment. I like this question, too.

Did you write this? Sure did. Alpine, Tundra. There are four states east of the Mississippi, that have Alpine, Tundra.

Name two of them. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Corey Strugges with geography outside of Montana. This is true. Really.

We're east of here. I love it.

We can never have a map in the meaty-to-trivial studio.

Use Korean asks for it every time. Yep. There's geography involved. There's a how you feeling about your answer. I don't know.

Anyone feeling good? Yeah. This is a great question. Brody. I'm jealous.

Thank you. Hold on.

Let's take your time. Two. Take your time. Four. Mm-hm.

Well, I keep going back and forth.

Jeez. What do I think? Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Are we ready?

Oh. Does anyone need a stall for time? Yeah. No. No.

Okay. Let me go over. Y'allness says Vermont and New York, Seth, West Virginia and Virginia. Randall Maine and New Hampshire, Corey Maine and Michigan, Alyssa Maine and Vermont, Spencer and New Hampshire and Vermont.

We had some correct answers. The four states are New York, New Hampshire, Vermont and Minnesota. Oh. Oh. Do you need...

I'm not Minnesota Maine. Yeah. Oh, geez. Dang. It was my day.

I'm going to say Mount Katata.

Filled. Do you need people who would say that?

“Raise their hands and think, no, because I think when we're nice, I saw that you put”

Minnesota and I was like, I'm not sure that's correct. No, I was counting. I just had the wrong answer. Oh, I got it. I think I think I got the right ones.

Okay. All right. There you can try. I think it's Yannis Randall, Alyssa, and Spencer. I got a correct answer.

Oh, my heart rate now. Here's a little flavor text. New Hampshire has the largest amount of alpine tundra in the Northeastern U.S., particularly on Mount Washington, and the surrounding summits in the presidential reign.

Maine contains significant alpine tundra on Mount Katadin, New York features small, isolated patch. You can find tundra, limited exclusively to the highest peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Mount Marcy.

And... Sorry. Well, I'm just trying to read, man. No, contains the smallest amount of the four with less than 125 acres of alpine tundra in Maine.

These fragile sky island ecosystems are remnants of the last Ice Age often found above 4,000 feet in elevation. Hmm. Cool. I just saw some Instagram.

It must be BS because there were, I saw things that like in Shannon, Dowa, which is, isn't that Virginia, that there's some of the same alpine tundra in Alaska? Really? Yeah. I don't think so.

That's why. That's why Instagram. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We can double check it, but I'm pretty sure this is good question. Could totally be wrong. Oh, yeah. This stuff's under this environment, it's under a lot of pressure right now, it's shrinking, not doing well.

So they need to preserve it. Moving on, you guys don't seem too concerned about the alpine tundra. I was told to shut up, so well, you know, it is a little difficult reading when someone interrupts you in the middle of a question sometimes, you know, we do that to Spencer, saw it slide.

He's just giving you more flavor text. I know. Mount Morrison. I thought you're going to ask. I thought you're going to ask about.

I have something about Marcy later.

“We get to it, that's why I didn't want to acknowledge.”

What's the answer? Yeah. What does it matter? For mom. One of those.

Yeah. Your rapture? Yeah. Main. Okay.

Yes. This is what I hear. Next question is about morphology. Ooh. Nice.

Never had that as a category.

That's our sage and sharp tail grass of breeding areas called. So that time of year. That time of year, where we're getting to the show. I'm excited to go and see some. I love to.

Reading. I love to. So I am looking at some of those feathery kickballs out on the prairie. They do it a little. A little thing.

Yeah. The sharp tails get real crazy. Mm-hmm.

“We're much like sage growing in turkeys.”

Yes. Same thing. Everyone ready? Mm-hmm. Yes, sir.

All right. Flip them all up. Black. Black. Dance floor.

Nothing. Dance floor. So I mean, that's why it's men. They're nice. Okay.

Lek is the correct answer. The term comes from the Swedish word Lek, imagine that, which refers to child's play or a game. It describes the communal mating ritual where male grass gather in open areas to perform energetic strutting and dancing displays to impress the females.

How do you spell Lek? Lek. The grass called a dance floor. Mm-hmm. I'm better so they do.

We should have, we should have had a video with a little dance accompanying. If we'd had more time to prepare, I wouldn't have done that.

So Brody, Brody's just doing me a big favor here.

Yeah. This is a killer batch of questions. You guys have been spending so much time preparing for that last episode of Radio Live. Mm-hmm.

And I'm time to do anything else. All right. Number four. Fishing. Mm-hmm.

“I think this one's going to cause some trouble for some people.”

So it's not going to have anything to do with that thing. Some people might not like it. I don't know, but I like it. Okay. It's actually fishing in cooking, even a little bit.

Mm-hmm. Okay. So I do have a cook and question. So there you go. Okay.

The question is, fly fishermen use this pantry item to prevent the guides on their rods from icing up. Do they know? Seth knows this. So I don't know if the fly fishermen use it, but--

You noticed that how in Montana the five fishing guides don't work in the winter. Really? I know. Like we did. It's like it just stopped.

Oh yeah. Gotta get a break. They all go to-- They all go to sell. Like up on the Missouri or over on the spring.

You've got to go river. They never go. Worked it myself, you know. DIY. If you will.

Well, I mean, in some ways that like to winter guide and better than the summer stuff. More hardcore angle. You have this random shirt. This chill. Thanks, so.

Mm-hmm. Do you? Spencer? No. I mean, I--

“Do you guys can chit chat for more time?”

Fly fishermen use this pantry item to prevent the guides on their rods from icing up. Mm-hmm. And she might feel good about it. Yeah. So you wrote that on the answer.

You know, I saw her doing a steal today. Nice. Really. It's the same pantry item that you have. Mm-hmm.

How did you know he had this pantry item that he was doing and he's putting it on his guide? Did he have-- Let's not get into that. Container that said the brand?

We'll wait for Brian. Yep. Everyone ready? Yeah. No.

Go ahead. You got time? You got something down there. Mm-hmm. Aye.

I don't know. Seth made me less confident. Yep. I can't picture seeing someone do this. Flip them over knowing that they were doing this.

Chris Go says-- No, says Chris Go says, says Pam Randall says Pam Corey says oil over there. Well, this is Seth Pam. It's right. It says olive oil.

We had some people get it, right? It's Pam cooking strength. Oh, I used Chris Go. Which is what? It's the head.

Spray olive oil. It's not olive oil. It's not olive oil. I didn't say olive oil. It's not motor oil.

It's not like a motor oil. You're oil in your pantry. We've got oil in it. No, we're not giving it to you. But what about me?

You've got to be spray. I had to paint you. I don't know. You put on your guides.

I've never heard of anyone using Chris Go.

How about Earl? Is that word? No. No. No.

No. No. Southern oil. Southern oil. If you can find something that says Chris Go,

I'll consider. The fishermen in the room. I believe them. Yeah. People use chapstick.

Which is an oil. That sounds like a real pain in the air.

“I think Pam is like the faint, the thing that's fainted.”

Yeah. There's a spray it on. So you saw somebody out there. The yellow and red cans. Spray in there.

Spray in it up. Yeah. The whole length of the rod are just like the end. No, you hit the guides. Yeah, just hit the guides.

Yeah. Fly fishermen. I'm obviously other fishermen too. Use Pam cooking spray primarily as an anti icing agent to prevent ice build up on rod guides or eyelets during cold weather fishing.

Budget friendly alternative to specialized lubricants. Use key flyline slick also. And in some case to add scent to lures or baits. Mm. I'm giving myself a point.

This is in a real episode. What's not real about it? Yeah. You're just not getting them right. Sounds like a real episode to me.

Woohoo, here comes another fish in question. We're ready for this one. Yeah. Yes, we are. We're going to pull it up now.

Oh, okay. Visual. Hell yes. What? What?

Two word term describes a circular swimming motion of schools of tarp and shone here. Ooh. Oh, man. Let's see. What's ready to question again?

What? Two word term describes the circular swimming motion of schools of tarp and shone here. Two words. Mm. Used to get real excited when I saw this.

Mm.

I've actually never seen it.

You can get pretty close to them. One there too. Question one more time. What two word term describes a circular swimming motion of schools of tarp and shone here. Two words to describe what you're looking at.

Looks like that one just got some air there. Mm-hmm. Well, Mark and I are going to go and maybe get into a little bit of this and get this coming up on that time of year. You need to use your little fly poles. Oh, yeah.

I've got two. It's a little live crab and they're going to have fun. Well, we might do that too. But I've yet to catch one off. Why?

So I'd like to do that. Just bring it all. Just instantly break it all. Everyone got two words. Yep.

Flip them over. Yannis says Daisy Chains. Sess says fish twister. Sandworm crazy. Cast here.

Deathpool. Tarp and tornado. We have a correct answer. Mm-hmm. This is a bad question.

Yes. When someone in the room has been planning a tarp and triumphant. What was the answer? Daisy Chains. Groups ranging from a few to hundreds of tarp and gather and Daisy Chains during the spring and summer migration period is often considered a pre-spawn ritual.

The juvenile tarp and also gather and Daisy Chains suggesting it may also serve as a defense mechanism against predators. While Daisy Chains makes the fish easy to locate, they often ignore baits while they're in a Daisy chain.

“Daisy Chains also a sound engineer thing, right Phil?”

Isn't that like when you connect a speaker to a speaker? Oh sure. Yeah, yeah. A bunch of cables are all connected together. Sure.

Phil. Yes, bro. We got a scoreboard update. Yeah, it is halftime and here we have Harry Colkins with zero points in the last place. Got a, it's a close game after that.

Seth Alyssa and Spencer have two points of peace in her tight-up. Three out of five ain't bad.

Jim first place with three points are both.

Yanis Pateles and Dr. Randall Williams. Hmm. But no more questions related to things that people are actively researching. How would I know what he's doing? Because he's on the phone all day.

Don't about tarp and fishing. Yeah, I get here too long. I heard him talking about a lot of hunting but not tarp and fishing. Why are you doing tarp? Why?

Yeah. What the hell are you doing Phil?

“What's your Spencer is slacking me about a podcast thumbnail?”

So I apologize. Just going to close that slide here. Yeah, go to the same top. And you're just catching this thing obviously. And talk conservation.

It's going on in the keys right now. You're going to eat them. Not going to eat any tarp and but the plan is to fish flats.

Two days and then go do some meat hauling on third day.

So it takes two of you to go down there and fish for tarp and then talk tarp and conservation. Oh yeah. Well, it may be three of us. Well, the third is going to be max bar. Okay.

One person. Two seems like you. Are you hitting on our bunny neck or now? No. No, we're in fish with Jake or by Jake.

Where's he? Where's he at? Big pine. Key West. Nice.

I'll be fine. That'll be fun. Yep. It is a tough assignment, Randall. I mean, obviously, you know, you're more qualified than he is to go.

But, you know, he's got to learn something. That's true. That's true. Just remember to bring the pan. Said you were asked about eating them.

“I think they used to grind tarping up in the cat food.”

But I think people over really were in the eat them too much. Hmm. Got a little tidbit for you. Huh? No.

Keep going. Okay. Next question. Number six. This conservation.

Welcome to meat eaters. 12 and 26 presented by multimobile and on X maps. 12 of meat eaters biggest and battes hunts from the last year. Release throughout 2026. These are long form episodes.

So you get more of what you love.

The first one up is my baited bear hut in Manitoba.

If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hut is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Let's pull this one up, Phil, because it's like a weird one. The blank zone describes the area of Colorado and Wyoming where chronic wasting disease was first documented and milled ear and out.

Replace the blank with the correct seven letter word. Hmm. God. Why do I keep doing that? I don't know what you do.

Good together. I need to get you. You can. I've got a hundred and reeval of trying to both call me at the same time.

It's terrible over here. Hmm. Hunter and Reva. Like you guys work while you're doing your doing other stuff while you're doing this. They try to work with me while I'm doing.

Well, thanks so much. How many letters? Seven. The blank zone describes the area of Colorado and Wyoming where chronic wasting disease was first documented and milled ear and out. Seven letter word.

I have another seven letter word that I'd like to use. Is it. It's one word. Yeah, just one word. Okay.

There's lab leak one word. Hashtag lab leak is one word. I think it conspiracy theory. No. This one's struggling.

People are struggling with this one. Seven letter word to describe the zone where CWD was first documented. Everyone got an answer? No, no. Gosh.

Not even close, Brody. Hmm.

“Did you know this before you found this out for a question?”

Hmm. I think you'll. You think I'll know. I think you should know. It's in there.

Right, Randall? I don't know. I don't know. Does Randall know? It depends if I get a writer not.

I think he only lives in Colorado. Therefore he should know it. I get it. There's a certain vibe Randall throws off when he's got the right answer. No, I truly don't know this.

I've got a seven letter word that I think is a strong contender. Oh. He knows it. I don't know it. Truly.

That's not it. All right. Hold on. Get your answers in there. Ah.

Flip them over. Ooh, boy. We might have a zero percentor. Okay. Ah.

Dude.

The answer is the endemic zone.

Oh, that's the one.

“The chronic chronic wasting disease endemic zone in Colorado and Wyoming is the original”

contiguous focal point of the disease in North America. Ah. CWD was initially identified in 1967 as a mysterious wasting syndrome causing captive meal there to lose weight and die at a research facility near Fort Collins, Colorado. Researchers later confirmed it was a pre-on disease or transmission transmissible

illness. This sponge of form and cepaloff at the TSC in 1978. There you go. The endemic zone. Hmm.

Not more likely. It goes answered though. Genesis. Yeah. That was cool.

I thought you had it, man. I had it. Okay. Moving on. Number seven categories hunting.

What common species of dabbler duck is also known as a grade duck. It's just like not happy. I mean, dude. I got other stuff I could be doing. You want to get a huddle call with 30000?

Yeah. I could probably do better at that. No. A grade duck. Boy, there's a lot of them.

A lot of grade ducks. Hmm. What is a dabbler? Hmm. You want to see a so-called waterfowler come on?

Am I? Yeah.

“I think you're the only one in this room who's filmed waterfowl hunts.”

Hmm. Hmm.

Always has the beginning.

That's true. Hmm. It's a dabbler. I feel good about my answer. One page and one.

Hmm. What common species of dabbler duck is also known as a grade duck. Yeah. Okay. Flip them over.

Brody's. Oh, yeah. I think you guys. You want to say, as a witch and Seth Gaddwell, Randall Gaddwell, Corey, Mexican Teal, List of Mallard, Spencer Eiter.

The answer is Gaddwell. Hmm. Oh. The primary nickname for egg rollers is grade duck referencing their modeled grade brown appearance. A couple other nicknames form.

Our Texas Mallard, original name sometimes used because they're common in Texas wintering grounds.

And also, I never heard this.

Pirate of the lakes derived from their behavior of stealing food from other birds. Hmm. Like that.

I'm not a shadow.

I've shot a Gaddwell or two.

Hmm.

“I think they get confused with hen mallards a lot.”

Look quite similar. Hmm. Okay. Question number eight. Wildlife.

This is also our listener question of the week from Brian Parks. This goes back to like the last time I hosted when I did all listener questions. And this isn't this is one I didn't get to. So, Brian asks, What African animal is the closest living relative to the pronghorn animal?

All right. One second. Oh, yeah. Listener question in the week. What African animal is the closest living relative to the pronghorn antelope?

Pambrother. Gaddwell brother. The room. So, that was just an. You might have learned this on your recent trip across the pawns.

I don't know you was brought up. No. I was brought up there.

It's just a good solid trivia question.

I don't think it could be wrong, but I think I'm right. Well far now. Hmm. We'll see. You're still throwing up a blank?

No. I got an African animal right now.

“No, I mean, have you gotten a question right now?”

Nope. It's zero, buddy. Cool. Let's keep it going. No.

I'd like to break the ice here, buddy. You just showed it to Janice and he looked. Sorry. Look. I saw his eyes move.

Uh-oh. You guys should chat a little while you're on his talks. Really put the pressure on him. Yeah. I'll give you a hint.

Yeah. He lives in Africa. He cares for those hands. I close this really living relative. One of these was recently killed with a hot rod six millimeter cartridge.

A Swedish cartridge? Nope. Hot rod. Hmm. Got an answer?

I didn't sure do. There's going to be 10 people there. You're going to enjoy that reference. No. Y'all know, says in Paul, Seth says giraffe, Randall giraffe, Corey Gazelle.

Listen to who you? Uh, Spencer giraffe. The correct answer is giraffe. Draft brother. Uh-huh.

“Prong on are the last remaining member of the family.”

And Tilo Caprede. With their closest living relatives being giraffe. Like regular studies in genetic evidence confirmed. The pronghorns closest living relatives are giraffe. While they share common ancestor pronghorns evolved independently in North America for millions of years.

Like giraffe, which have oscocons. Pronghorns possess specialized bony. Hair covered structures. Though pronghorns usually shed their outer horn she's annually. oscocons.

That's word. Did not know. Hmm. Cool. Me?

There you go. Giraffe. That's a wild animal. There's a wild weird animal. Love looking at giraffe.

Rando might be running away. Do we do a scoreboard update in that now, Phil? Two after question. A question. Usually, yeah.

We usually do. Take a look at that sucker again. Oh, here we go. As previously confirmed Corey is still a representant with a big lead brother. Working on it.

Unless is up next to two points, Yannis and Spencer tied up with three Seth Morris has four and in first place.

Five points is random. Not Marcy has to come up at some point. I hope so. No. He said only if we need to.

That'll be a ton of record. Okay. I've record. But we should look at all. I used to own a t-shirt with it printed on it.

Okay. What happened to that? She wants Seth. I don't fit it anymore. But one of the best, one of the photos in which I look, the handsome Mr. My Life.

I'm taking more in that shirt. Wow. What day? That was a phase of my life about 22. Oh, yeah.

P can some this at 20. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. You're there now.

No. I'm just going for a while. I'm just chewing up some clock here, bro. Yeah. I like to see that.

The category for question nine is history. So Randall's getting all excited. No, no. But I don't think he'll be okay. I didn't think he'd throw me a bone, brody.

Name the company that made the legendary Bush float planes. The beaver and the otter. Dang it. Ah. I should have gone.

Not history. I couldn't figure out what category. Air travel gear. I don't know. I mean, if you got aeronautics.

Yeah. History. I like history. You'll get some history. Were everyone ready?

No. Come on. Brody's gripping three. No. Yeah, you are.

I'm doing my best to slow down.

So how are we doing on time?

The next time. Who else been in one of these planes? We're actually. Who's been in one of these. Who's been in both these planes?

I think I've been in both. I don't think I've been in both. I don't think I've been in both. I don't think I've been in both. The old otter.

Potator. No.

“I've got some stories that will curl your hair.”

A little turbo otter action. You talking about the hot dog guy? No. No. No.

You mean the guy had a prince away. He also has a hot dog. No. What's the hot dog? He liked to show off like flare.

Oh, I thought it was like literal hot dog.

Flip them over. If you got an answer. You want us to have a one set to have a one. Randall to have one. Boeing.

C cat. Air cup. The name of the company is to have a one. Aircraft company. To have an aircraft company was founded by Sir Jeffrey DeHavlin in September 1920.

And the pioneering British aerospace manufacturer was responsible for. Integrate innovative aircraft designs like the Moss series. The World War II mosquito and the world's first jet airliner of the comet. But hunters and anglers, particularly in Alaska and Canada, are more familiar with the various models of beavers and the larger otters. Often uses float planes.

The otter and beaver can also be out fit with skis and wheels. Making them the most reliable and popular bush planes ever built. The production on the otter and the beaver ended in 1967. Many of these aircraft are well over 70 years old and still flying today. Right brother set.

- Yeah. (laughing) That's kind of the whole point. - Sure. - Wow, Brad's oil hasn't answered.

- I don't like that of one bit that you noticed. - Two states. - I want to tell you this. - I know how to do that. - This was discussed in detail on meat eater podcast.

- Oh, well, that's why in the past. - No, I know it because I know where this lake is. - This lake? - Oh, I don't know. - Oh, we just gave 'em a hand, but it's not a big enough

hint that I'm not, like-- - Lake or river? - We need to do the question. - I know where this, or this reservoir. (laughing)

- Body of water? - Huh. - Water or river? - Name the two states that lay claim

to the world record small mouth bass.

- I know the lake, but I don't know the two states. - Are they close to one of them other? - What? - The states? - Be weird if they weren't.

- It's-- - Oh, I mean, New York Times. - New York Times, New York Times. - Yeah, that's true. - Mm-hmm.

- I mean, maybe I don't know-- - Yes, they are. - Maybe I don't know this. - I'll give you a clue. - Mm-hmm.

- There. - I can imagine how they're bordering. - I've been to this lake. - Catching a wall mouth there? - Mm-hmm.

- What were you doing there?

“- I think we were mountain biking in Boy Scouts.”

- Mountain biking in the lake? - No. God. (laughing) - Boy Scouts.

- She means you want to be in Lebanon.

- Yeah, this is a very-- - This is a very-- - Oh, okay, said. - This is a very nostalgic round of trivia for me. - It's kind of a hint that Randall Stahlnie of this, too.

- We traveled-- I mean, we went to Montana. - We went to Canada. - I'm just trying to get there. - I'm just trying to get there. - We went to New York.

- What other states? - We went all over the place. - Anyone have some baked small amounts of states? - Come on, I-- - High-adventures.

- You're the only basmer, I feel like I can tell you the story. - I don't keep track of records. - Oh, though, let's see the face. - There's a face, right? - Come out, Tennessee here.

It looks like-- - Ooh. - Large mouth. - Large mouth. - Large mouth.

- What? - Oh, just for the state record. - State record. - So we're talking bronze backs, baby. - There's a 15.5.

15.75 pound, large mouth. - Small jaws. - Oh, holy. - You say 15 pound, large mouth? - 15, three quarter.

- Oh. - Mutant. - Okay. - If you don't got any answers, you're going to need to come out of one real soon.

- Big two states, Seth, that have big bets. Big. - Come on. - What? - What'd you pick?

- They're near each other. - Oh, they are? - Yes. - That's what he told you that. (laughs)

- Here you go. Pick one that borders that state. - You make in Randall two comfortable over there. - Uh, I mean, I got the room here. - From PA, he ought to know that.

- Oh, that's good. - Two people over there. - We're good. He's good. - All right, open them over.

- Ooh. - Minnesota and Wisconsin. Vermont, New York. Kentucky and Tennessee. Michigan, Wisconsin.

Tennessee, Kentucky. - Wow. - They all know Tennessee, Kentucky. We had three people get it right. I'm talking in Tennessee.

- Oh, wow. - How'd you know that? - You got that right. - Yeah, that right. Nice.

- Wow. - Yeah. - Okay, on July 9th, 1955, David Lee Hayes, caught an 11 pound, 15 ounce mom out fast, 27 inches long, trolling a bomber plug and Dale Hollow Lake,

which straddles the Tennessee Kentucky border. That record was challenged by allegations of tampering in the 1990s and the record was rescinded, but eventually those allegations were proven false. The world record was reinstated, which stands for this day.

The fish was caught in Kentucky waters, but weighed and measured in Tennessee. So both states lay claim to the record.

“- I don't remember what the other controversy was.”

- What do you mean the other lake? - One was Dale Hollow, what was the other lake? - It's the same lake. - It's the same lake. - It's the same lake.

- It was the same lake. - There's just some one side. That remember saying something about maybe like spark plugs in the belly of the belly? - There's all kinds of, there's like this disgruntled employee of this marina who like made allegations of tampering.

Stuff in the fish with weights or something like that. And it all came out that I was just like talking shit.

So there you go.

“- It looks like Randall is our winner with seven grass and Randall.”

- The job, Randall.

- How are you feeling about that victory, Randall?

- It's good. It's a good start to the new season of Medita Trivia after heartily disappointing. - It's just an inch. - It's just an inch right now. - Yeah, it's season five.

- Whoa. - Whoa. - Yeah, this is the season opener. - I'm gonna retire soon. (laughing) - Yeah, Randall, who's the money gone to?

- Let's send this money to the Coastal Conservation Association. - Tell us why you're sending it. - Well, it's a group that works on fisheries issues. I believe specifically in the Gulf, but we do some work with them when I said TRCP

and then when we're on the live tour guide, I believe at the Dallas or Austin Show, who's guides on the Texas Gulf Coast, suggested it. And believe it or not, it's been so long. Since I've won a game of trivia.

- You stuck with them? - We're just getting to it now. - Yeah. - Maybe y'all should run into those guys on his tarp in fishing.

- That'd be nice. Tell 'em I say hi. - I will. - That was all the way back in 2025, Randall. - Oh no, thank gosh, good, good integration.

- Young man, then, I'll be honest. It's very flattering when people send me donation requests. But at this point, I am, I've drowned and then settled into the bottom of the lake and sediment has landed in top of me.

- We're coming a fall. - Very close to finalization. - Hold on, before we go. We're gonna do a bonus question. I was going to say everyone was wondering

about the Mount Marcie thing. - Yeah, okay. - We're gonna pretend that Seth and Randall tied. - Mm hmm. - To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, what is the elevation

of New York's highest peak Mount Marcie? - Good Lord. - That is my, be quick, right? It's crazy that you said that earlier, Randall. - You have on your, on your, on your shirt.

- Yeah, but I haven't, that shirt. - I haven't fit that shirt in now. - I didn't prep the Mount Marcie as long as that was Brody's backup tiebreaker, which I didn't think was going to happen.

- We can, I'll give you the answer to that too. - Oh, wow. Okay, we'll write down two answers. - Oh, what's the other one?

“- What's the elevation on your highest peak Mount Marcie?”

- Well, what was the one that was on it? - Last year Lake Superior froze over. - Oh, last year. - Okay. - The last time.

- The year that got you. - Well, last time. - Okay, so here's the Mount Marcie one. - Fill through it all into, just, - I believe Mount Dix is also nearby, D-I-X. - That one might have a ton of clothes.

- It might, it was a shirt with a list of like, - Oh, yeah, we are close. - The 10th time. - Look at them over. - Oh, wait, you're not doing the year Superior?

- No. - Okay. - Thank you for all. - I was gonna say, is either 49 or low 50s. - I'm willing to bet that there's not one spot

east of the Mississippi higher than any answer except Randall. - What's the answer? - Oh, wait, wait, actually there's a spot.

“- Well, I think Randall is closest, right?”

- Randall's closest, the answer is five, three, four, four.

- Mm-hmm. - Just over a mile. - Yeah, they got the tiebreaker. - Yeah. - What's the last year, like Superior froze over?

- 96. - Oh, that was good year. - Thanks for listening. - Yep. (laughs)

- Well done, Rale, Dominate performance. - Yeah, Spencer himself, Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down. - And he likes taking those two and three year old bucks.
