We are joined by a very special guest and just a regular special guest today. The very special guest is Michael Waddell, who you just heard a few days ago on the regular Meat Eater episode. Give it up for Michael Waddell. There we go. Thank y'all for having me.

We'll clap now, because if he does bad, I don't want to clap later. I know. Are we also going to clap for just our regular special guest, which is Corey Calkins. Corey is the guy that, if you write to info at the meat eater dot com, is that the address? Meat eater, that's kind of funky. If you write to that address,

Corey is going to read it. He may be the most judgmental man on the planet. Only because every email he has to judge it. He has to judge its merits. Where should it go? Is it actually funny?

Is it actually interesting? How many a day do you think? A hundred? Hundreds, yes. Hundreds. Hundreds of emails. That's a full-time job. Mostly good.

Some bad. All right, this is meat-eater trivia, Michael. This is trivia you're not going to get from Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit or any bar and grill trivia. These are born out of Meat Eater's four verticals. What are they, Steve? Based loosely off Meat Eater's four verticals of hunting, fishing, wild foods, and conservation, plus pioneers and explorers. Now, here's why I like to keep that in there. And pecan farming.

I had heard on a radio show once upon a time that 10% of your listeners at any given moment are brand new. So I think we need to oh that's why we see that up every single time otherwise they're gonna be like now why was there a question about a 30-odd six followed by a question about al dente pasta oh yeah that's great so yeah but people didn't like the al dente pasta question steve didn't like the al dente pasta there is a prize you're widely ridiculed meat eater will donate vis-a-vis feedback provided to me through cory now here's what you're playing for michael okay there is a prize. You're widely ridiculed. Meat Eater will donate. Vis-a-vis feedback provided to me through Corey. Now, here's what you're playing for, Michael. There is a prize.

Meat Eater will donate $100 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. We've played six times so far. Steve has won three times. Brody has won twice. And Clay has won once. Wow. Okay. So you're with some heavy hitters in this room.

Who won when Tucker beat me? That was Brody. We went to a tiebreaker with Brody and Cal, which came down to the gestation period. Came down to math is what it came down to. Okay. Came down to math, and I'm bad at math. Now, Michael, I had a question during the podcast I didn't get to bring up because we kind of missed the moment. But you had talked about being a champion turkey caller, and I heard Phil Robertson say once, who's the founder of Duck Commander,

that a living, breathing mallard would get last place in a duck calling contest. Is that the same for turkeys, you think? Probably not as much so in turkey. I would say that, especially now, holy cow, those guys sound just like a wild turkey. Maybe some of the scenarios, like if you just ask for a yelp, but no, it's... So that's the real deal. It's the real deal. Those guys would kill turkeys.

It's scary on point. Like, hair puts goosebumps on you now, for sure, what those guys might sound like. Now, we have some housekeeping from previous games of trivia. A listener reached out and said that the Lake Geneva Antique Mall in Wisconsin has a punt gun for sale. So I called the antique store yesterday to get some details. The gun is 63 inches long and listed for sale at $5,500. The antique store worker told me the gun has been there for years and that the owner doesn't really care if he sells it. So it's unlikely there'd be

much of a negotiation. The person on the phone said it's a spectacle that gets a lot of folks in the door to look at it, but he doesn't think there have been any seriously interested buyers. You didn't just say, because we're going to edit it out if you did, where it is? Yeah, the Lake Geneva Antique Mall in Wisconsin. Why would you? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You want to buy this thing?

Yes. Okay, now here's why I didn't think you would want to. It's only 63 inches long. That's a little over five feet. As far as punt guns go, this is half as long as what a standard one is. It's like a sawed-off punt gun. It's backpackers. Mountain punt guns.

I can already see this is way over my head. Yeah, okay. We'll hold off because I want a real two-man. It's the guns they used to use in commercial. Those big, yeah, big long. They used to market hunt for duck flips. Yes, and they're called punk guns. Is that right?

Two guys shoot them. One guy just holds the barrel over his shoulder. I cannot wait to get one of those. It looks awesome, but again, it's only a little over five feet long. So I don't think that's the one we're looking for. It's a stupid one. Staying on the subject of punt guns, about a dozen people wrote in to let me know that they got the punt gun question correct because of the movie Tremors 4. As a prequel to Tremors, this movie is about how a Nevada town defends itself against graboids in the 1800s. In one of the film's most famous scenes,

Hiram Gummer misses a tremor at point-blank range with a punt gun, which inspires an onlooker to yell this. You missed with a cannon! Now, the movie didn't use a real punt gun, of course, but prop master Bill Davis did construct a replica that ended up being over eight feet long and 94 pounds. The prop gun was then fitted with a real H&R 12 gauge shotgun on the inside, which is what would actually fire when the trigger was pulled. To make each shot more dramatic, the crew drenched the bear with WD-40, which created a giant cloud of smoke whenever fired. Wow.

Just giving all sorts of kids all sorts of bright ideas. Yeah. Exactly. I feel like everyone in America is an expert on prop guns and stuff now after the Rust film. Yeah.

Yes. Debacle. Now we're all like, well, actually, that's not how it works with a prop gun. It does make me feel good though here at the WD-40

because I do believe WD-40 and duct tape was pretty much in everything that I grew up. Matter of fact, we didn't call it duct tape. We called it Alabama chrome. We used to refer to WD as wild dog.

Yeah. It was a little cooler. Evil Knievel. Happy hat wild dog. Remember spraying that on the tracks and the evil Knievel would spin the tires. You'd spray a little WD-40. Oh, no, I didn't know about that trick. Now, I imagine that is not going to be our last Punk Gun update.

So if you see one at your antique store, let me know about it, and I will investigate. So we are now on to our game of Meat Eater Trivia. All right, Phil, play the drop. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything well done all right we are now on to trivia the first question which is one of ten the first question is always multiple choice and that's what we have here again. The topic is predators. What is the leading cause of coyote deaths in urban areas?

Is it being killed by other coyotes, mange, getting shot, or vehicles? You forgot to say, like, A. What is the leading cause of coyote deaths in urban areas? Is it A, being shot, or excuse me, being killed by other coyotes, B, mange, C, getting shot, or D, vehicles? Again, this is in urban areas. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying D. Cal saying D. Vehicle. Steve saying A. Other coyotes. Michael saying B.

Which is mange. Brody saying D. Vehicles. Corey saying B. Mange. Phil saying other coyotes. And Corinne saying mange. The correct answer is D. Vehicles.

What did Bro you get? I got D. Let's see hands. But I felt like we were getting set up for a trick question there. I did. Honestly, I overthought that. I really thought possibly B. Listen, man, you can overthink them.

You can underthink them. It's just hard to find the sweet spot. A game in a game. This statistic is via the Urban Coyote Research Project. By tracking collared coyotes, they determined that about 45% of coyote deaths are caused by vehicles, 20% are from being shot, 10% are from mange, and the remaining 25% are labeled as other or unknown. So, Holmick, getting killed by a coyote's not even in there? I think that's...

I just made that one up. I think that constitutes the 25%. Of unknown. So, Holmick, getting killed by a coyote's not even in there? I think that constitutes the 25%. Of unknown. Right. You can't determine the death. I just did. We are on to question two. The topic is turkeys.

What state has the furthest west population of Rio Grande turkeys? What state has the most western population of Rio Grande turkeys? Okay. This is kind of a, um. Oh, we got Steve groaning and rolling his eyes. I'm just really unhappy with this question. Michael doing a lot of writing. Well, I'm trying to. This must be a state with five names.

He's trying out the United States outline. Yeah, I'm having to look at my Google Maps to figure out what's the westernest most point, but I think it's... Don't say it. What state has the furthest west population of Rio Grande

Turkey? Steve, I'm afraid you're going to help the room if you start asking more questions. I know what you're struggling with, I think. I'm struggling with... Does everybody have an answer? Hold on, hold on. I've really got to go to my geography here. Oh, no, you can't use a phone.

Damn it. That'd be like Google, right? I would say no phones allowed. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Nevada, Cal saying California, Steve saying Oregon, Waddell saying... One of the two. You pick one.

Which one? Well, that's my question. Which is more Western? I know both of these states have them. You got to just do it quick because you can't be influenced by other people's stuff. Okay, Washington. Washington, Waddell says. Brody says Hawaii.

Corey says Nebraska. Oh, son of a... Phil says Arizona. And Corinne says New Mexico. The correct answer is Hawaii. Ah! No! You're never going to catch him.

I'm never going to catch him. That's unbelievable. I don't count that, because I figure that is way so far out of back east again. Jeez. Should have known. That's why Captain Cook quit exploring. He just stayed in Hawaii. That's right.

Just today I got a picture of a gobbler from Hawaii. They're probably gobbling there right now. They are. Roughly 400 Rios were trapped in Texas and transferred to Hawaii in the 1960s. Today their population is about 18,000, and at just $20 for a non-resident license, they offer one of the cheapest tags for out-of-staters in the nation. You know, Jim Harrison observed

that... Oh, Jesus. The writer Jim Harrison observed that, being his age, he can't take Hawaii and Alaska seriously as states. This is from Steve Rinella who is 0 for 2 so far. There was just a meat eater episode

where you guys were hunting around. He was just observing that in his mind when people say how many states are there, what goes to his mind is 48. Nobody got that right. Brody. I'm going to start cheating like I did in Algebra 2

off Courtney Coons. Damn it, man. There's no catch for now. I'm playing or something here. Brody. I'm going to start cheating like I did in Algebra 2 off Courtney Coons. I'm playing or something here. Brody's going to have to have a very poor game to catch him. We are on to question three. The topic is fishing. What color is the most popular among fishing lures according to Shield Sports?

Now, if you're not familiar, Shields isn't found in the entire country, but for most of the country, they go all the way down to Texas, all the way up to North Dakota, all the way west to Nevada, all the way east to Illinois, I think. So that's kind of the range you're looking at. And to get this answer, I had to go to Shieldsports.com and then sort their fishing lures by color. This color yielded the most results. Now, this is tracking jigs, crankbaits, plastics, spoons, spinners. Basically everything except flies

if that helps you answer it all. This is not just soft plastics. This is everything. Everything except flies that Shield Sports would sell. Me and Broderick have the same answer. Are they real colors or is it like pumpkin?

Real colors. Watermelon. Yeah, pumpkin isn't the real color. That's a good question. When you buy a pumpkin worm, it's like, who's pumpkin? It's not like eggshell white. That's not what I'm looking for.

This is just a standard color. Does everybody have an answer? No. Our fisherman, Seth, struggling to find a color. Puts him in a bad spot when you do that. Well, yeah, the color I was going with wasn't a color. It's like a very popular. Does everybody have an answer?

Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying green, Cal saying chartreuse. Steve saying chartreuse. Waddell saying white. Brody saying chartreuse. Corey saying red. Phil saying yellow. And Corinne saying hot purple.

I love it. That's a good one. The correct answer is chartreuse, green, or yellow. If you said green or yellow, I'd give that to you as well. I was thinking chartreuse, but I couldn't spell it. I haven't used it in a poem. If it ain't chartreuse, that's... That comes from Lefty Cray.

I was going to say fire tiger. Well, that would be chartreuse. It would be labeled under chartreuse or green or yellow. Again, if you said green or yellow, I'll accept that because chartreuse is supposed to be the exact medium between green and yellow. Can you raise your hand if you got that right, please? I don't know if chartreuse had an actual definition. I thought you knew it when you see it.

There are nearly 1,000 fishing lures for sale on Shields.com that contain green, yellow, or chartreuse. That's followed by 700 for sale that are black, 600 that are white, and 500 that are orange. Additionally, there are 35 meat-eater items for sale on Shields.com

ranging from knives to turkey calls to seasonings. Yes. Awesome. So, so white was there. White was there. Third place.

We are on to question four. The topic is firearms. What is the only sport at the Winter Olympics that uses a gun? Lord, this is something I should know.

Lot of fast answers. I don't know how to spell it. Except for maybe Waddell. the least wintered guy here. As far as you get it. I just saw a special on this whole thing. This girl got beat up. The only sport at the Winter Olympics that uses a gun. We were just talking about.22s.

Oh, my God. I can see the whole discipline. It's on the podcast soon. Just describe it. We're waiting on Waddell. I'm about to murder, I'm about to make everybody in Georgia hate me.

Because all those snow freaks I don't even know what to do. I know Caitlyn Jenner didn't do it, but I know... I don't even know how to spell this. I don't even know if it is. I'm just going to put Alon over here. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying biathlon, biathlon, biathlon.

Waddell saying... Patathlon. Tell us what you said. What is it? Patathlon, biathlon, biathlon. Waddell saying... Patathlon. Tell us what you said. What is it? Patathlon. Patathlon. I'll accept that. Brody saying biathlon, biathlon.

Everybody but Waddell. Oh, no. He got that one correct. Yeah, pathalon. That's cool. We'll give it to him. The sport's standard rifle is an Anschutz 1827 Fortner, which 97% of competitors use.

Athletes shoot 22 rimfire rounds at targets that are 54 yards away. Their guns must weigh between 7.7 and 16.5 pounds with a minimum trigger pull of 1.1 pound. Germany is the most successful nation in Olympic biathlon history, followed by Norway and Russia. Michael, you need to get one of those guns for your pecan orchard. Yes, I do. Get those squirrels. I didn't know all the targets were the same length away.

We have a little course up here. 54 yards. There's a little course down in North Ketchum, too. But the target sizes are different, I believe, because you have to take shots from standing as well as prone. I think the standing ones it's like 5 inches, but the prone ones it's like 1 1� a half inches. Yeah.

My kid perked right up when he heard about biathlon. Oh. He thought that sounded all right. Man. I bet they don't have trouble getting 22 shells. No, I bet they shoot those Fiocchis. No. No? It's very specific.

We are on to question five. After this question, we will get a scoreboard update from Phil. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Jonathan Gilman. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. According to Jewish dietary rules, for a fish to be considered kosher, it must possess two features. Name one of them. According to Jewish dietary

rules for a fish to be considered kosher, it must possess two features. I need you to name one of them. A confident Steve. Oh, just one of them? Just one of them. A confident Steve, not so confident for the rest of the room. I had a Jewish girlfriend

for a long time. I know all this stuff. I could talk a year off about this whole subject. Two things to consider it kosher. Two features. Now, it's not like, help the room out here for a second. It's not about how it's killed or caught or anything like that. Okay, so it's none of that. It's not kosher slaughter, kashrut, I believe they call it. And we just need one of those.

Just one of the features to make a fish kosher. I'm ready. I think Steve might be the only one ready. Oh, this is going to help me close in on Brody. Does everybody have an answer? Brody's still writing. He's nervous. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Seth saying scales. Cal saying scales. Cal saying scales. Steve saying scales. Waddell saying skin. Brody saying, I can't see the answer, head. Corey saying white flesh. Look what I scratched out. Phil without an answer.

Corinne without an answer. The correct answer is either scales or fins. I scratched scales out. Oh, tough. Oh, that helps me close in on him. So we got Seth, Cal, Steve. So they can't eat catfish. Some examples of fish that are kosher include bass, carp, trout, herring, tuna, and snapper.

And some examples of fish that aren't kosher include catfish, sturgeon, eel, burbot, paddlefish, and shark. Caviar is only considered kosher when it comes from a kosher fish. So eggs from a trout would be kosher, but eggs from a sturgeon would not. Wow. You want to know what caused like a little wrinkle in kosher eating is when I remember reading about that it was realized that like shark skin is scale-like.

It's just a different, it's like a different texture, different size. Same as sturgeon. And then you had to sort of look and reassess, and then the scholars kind of then argue about what it all means. Isn't there a name for that feature on sturgeon and shark skin? Scoots. Like scoots or something?

Is it scoots? No, scoots. A sturgeon has scoots. Scoots are not the same thing as scales. Scoots are like the sharp parts that run acrossoots scoots are not the same thing as scales scoots are like the sharp parts that are run across the back and a little bit on the sides phil give us a scoreboard update all right uh i don't like saying last place because it sounds demeaning yeah i know who that Mike and Corey tied in last with one point I have two

Steve coming in second place second place with three and then we have a three way tie for first Brody, Seth and Cal all have four points this is tight assholes This is tight. Assholes.

OnXMaps.com slash meet. Welcome to the OnX club, y'all. Five questions left. This is question six. The topic is conservation. Now, this is a visual question. I will do my best to describe to listeners

what the room is going to be seeing. But if you want to play along for real and see what these guys are seeing, you can go to Instagram and check out at Spencer Newarth. I will have this photo there that you can use to play along. Now, I have looked at the game agency logos for all 50 states,

and I've declared this one the absolute best. It features a raccoon, a bass, and an oak leaf. To get this correct, I need you to tell me what state it's from, and I will now show the room. And I have scrubbed the logo of any words. What? It's a triangle. It's a bass, a raccoon, an oak leaf.

A blue triangle. This is absolutely runaway winter. That looks like a rock bass. We're not talking a large mile. This is the best game agency logo. I salute this state for having this as their logo when so many other states are just so boring. It's a great logo.

It's not new, is it? No. Like maybe the last couple states added to the union type of new? Yeah, it's not one of them. Yeah. Not giving any hints. The ones that Harrison doesn't recognize. You're not just

Whistling Dixie are you Son of a No No Nobody in the room Knew it Off the top of their heads So everyone's just

Going to be taking Educated guests I took a stab at it Off of what would have A raccoon A bass And an oak leaf As their logo

Does everybody have an answer Not a crazy guess On my part I think everyone will have a pretty educated guess. Now if somebody comes out and says like Hawaii, I'd be like eh, not so educated. Brody's racing now. I can tell you

I probably wouldn't have two questions here where the answer is Hawaii though. Yeah. Does everybody have an answer? Yeah, I wrote an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Mississippi, Cal saying South Carolina, Steve saying West Virginia, Waddell saying Kentucky,

Brody saying West Virginia, Corey saying Oklahoma, Phil saying Alabama, and Corinne saying New Jersey. Nobody got it correct. No! For some reason, I was going Alabama, too. Does anybody want to take a second stab? I was basing on small-mouthed. I thought it was Alabama.

If it was Alabama, Waddell would have known. Because he's a neighboring state. I don't feel like it was Alabama because I've seen it. And I don't think it was Tennessee. A small-mouthed, but who is it again? The correct answer is Missouri. Oh, really? One of the best Conservation states

Well funded independent game And a great logo Seven other states have a bass in their logo Those being Alabama, Arkansas Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana South Carolina and Tennessee But only one other state has a raccoon in their logo Which is Tennessee Wow Born has a raccoon in their logo, which is Tennessee.

Wow. Born on a mountain top in Tennessee. Great minds think alike, though, Steve. Great minds think alike. Yeah, you see why me and Browdy are so... Every resident of Missouri can get Missouri Conservation Magazine. Oh yeah, Brandon Butler is probably having a heart attack right now. No one knew that.

We are on to question... Thank you. We are on to question seven. Topic is biology. This next great question comes to us via Adam Elmhorst. If you have a question you think is right for Mediator Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themediator.com. According to our friends at the National Deer

Association, a whitetail buck has seven glands. Name two of them. This is according to the NDA, a whitetail buck has seven glands. I need you to just name two of them. Feeling very strong right now.

Okay. Why am I blanking on this? This is question seven. Brody's struggling. We have three left after this. Are you doodling or struggling, Brody? I might be struggling. Does everybody have an answer? No.

Hang on. Staring at this deer head on the wall. You're trying to ask him? Hey, buddy. I literally, I wrote down the name of the gland that I didn't actually physically physically remove this year for. Helping the room out, Cal. Yeah, don't help the room out, Cal.

Just struggle quietly. Don't struggle out loud. You might just give Brody the answer he's looking for. No, I'm not going to change it because then that would be cheating. Fuck. Fudge. Does everybody have an answer, Cal? I'm ready for you.

I'm not accepting three answers. You need to pick two, Cal. I see a lot of... Well, I know this. That's two out of three. Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying tarsal and lymph nodes.

Cal saying tarsal and thyroid. Steve saying orbital and tarsal. Waddell saying tarsal and orbital. Brody saying tarsal and metatarsal. Corey saying scent and reproduction. Phil saying not Penny's boat. What does that mean? That's for all you Lost fans out there

Continue Okay Corinne Saying Tarsal and Scent The seven glands On a whitetail buck

Are the preorbital Which I would accept Orbital The forehead The nasal Interdigital Which is on the hoof Penile sheath

Tarsal And metatarsal Good job I almost said forehead, but I thought that's too simple. I didn't know if they were the same or not. So the room did fairly well. Who all got it correct here?

You can't tell me that they don't have a thyroid gland. Where's the camera? I want to wave. Waddell just got one. The most mysterious of these seven is the metatarsal gland, which is located

in a small tuft of white hair on the lower leg. Biologists' best guess is that it helps with body temperature regulation because whitetails in Central and South America have metatarsal glands that are nearly non-existent. Hmm. Hmm. And mule deer have an even bigger metatarsal gland than whitetails do, which

has led them to that guess. Hmm. I was, and the forehead, is just called the forehead. That's right. Because I was sitting there trying to think, because they always are using that and licking branches and rubbing. But I was like, for sure, it just can't be forehead. But it is.

It's cool. We are on to question eight. We will get another scoreboard update. You should have just thrown a lawn on the back of it. I know it. We will get another scoreboard update from Phil after this question. The topic is cooking. This dish that's very popular in the

mid-Atlantic goes by many names. It's best described as a mush of stewed meat scraps with cornmeal that's shaped into loaves for slicing and frying. Traditionally, it's made with pork, but there are also versions that use beef, turkey, chicken, and of course, venison. What is it? Us PA boys have an advantage. Again, this goes by many names. Helping out the room. Just keep it to yourself.

Just struggle quietly. Again, it's best described as, this is an actual definition, a mush of stewed meat scraps with cornmeal that's shaped into loaves for slicing or frying. Traditionally, it's made with pork, but there are many other versions that exist

as well as many names. Do you accept the other names? I will accept the other names. Do you get bonus points for having a lot of them down? No. I have about five written down here. I would be surprised if we hear more than two when we reveal the answers. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Scrapple or Panhaus. Panhaus. Panhaus. Cal saying Scrapple. Steve saying Scrapple, a.k.a. Panhaus. Michael saying Shepherd's Pie. Brody saying Scrapple.

Corey saying Mushy Pork. Phil saying Scrapple. And Corinne saying Scrapple. Corey saying mushy pork. Phil saying scrapple and Corinne saying scrapple. Mushu pork. I'm sorry. The correct answers are scrapple, panhas, panrabbit, kreppels, liver mush, or spam.

Spam. Really? Spam's the same thing? Spam would be unacceptable. Spam is scrapple. There's no cornmeal in there. I think we call it pot. Oh, they call it that. That's right. Hands in the air, please. I found a 1909 article from the Montreal Gazette that says Scrapple

is so off-putting that people who eat it quote, must pretend to enjoy it. But the article later concedes that it has its health benefits, saying that Scrapple fed children in the country are healthier and make progress in school. In the South,

we have something called souse meat. You ever heard of souse meat? Like a pickled kind of a scrapple, I would assume. Or potted meat. Hell, I ate a lot of that.

Scrapple's amazing. Speaking of Sling Blade, that's what he always wants. Is scrapple? No. Potted meat. I'd like to get some more of that potted meat.

Two or three more cans. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. All right, I'll just give you the scores that matter. I like you. Everything stands the same way. We have, actually, no, it doesn't. Steve, Seth, and Cal are tied with five points in second place,

and Brody has six points in first place. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Some folks call it a Kaiser blade. I call it a sling blade. Question nine. The topic is public lands. Besides the Great Lakes, name one of the three biggest lakes in the lower 48.

Besides the Great Lakes. So if you were to look at the top list, the top five are the Great Lakes. So I'm looking for sixth, seventh, or eighth. Natural or? Yeah, come on now. Either one. It could be a reservoir. It could be a natural lake.

Current or historic? Come on. Come on. What? I don't like this. Yeah, I don't like this one either. Because it rolls in these big impoundments on the Missouri and stuff, man. Just have it be a natural lake.

The Great Lakes are natural lakes. Don't be rolling in some chunk of the Missouri which runs for like 300 miles at which point someone determines that the lake has ended and the river resumes. Still a lake. I just don't think we got no natural lakes in the south. It's either a pond or, but we got some, you know what? Okay, let me, I'm going to lower. Come on, man.

So is it natural? Are we going with just any reservoir? It can be a reservoir or a natural lake. Besides the Great Lakes. During a drought cycle or not during a drought cycle? One of the three biggest lakes in the world. It's a bullshit question. I don't know how to spell this. During a drought cycle or not during a drought cycle? One of the three biggest lakes in the lower 40s. Bullshit question.

I don't know how to spell this. You know, these other lakes experience droughts as well. Is it large by volume or surface area? It is by surface area. It's an acceptable question. That's an acceptable question. Okay. But you can describe where it is.

Lower 48, right? Lower 48. Yeah, it's like... Well, like Flathead Lake is a natural lake. That's the biggest natural lake west of the Mississippi. We have an angry room right now. It's just a very unspecific question. I have a bullshit question. Does everybody have a bullshit answer?

I have one. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying the Great Salt Lake. Cal saying Lake Mead. Say what I scratched out and what I wrote. Steve saying, I can't read what you scratched out. Scratch it out. Says Fort Peck.

Waddell saying, pick one of them. I mean, there's a part of me. He has three answers. He has Okeechobee. I didn't know if Steve was going to, and first, I don't even know if I'm right in natural or reservoir, but, you know, if I want to play out my claim here, Kentucky Lake's big.

It is big. All right, then you got Okeechobee down in Florida, which we forgot about Florida. Big, big lake. And then Devil's Lake out in North Dakota. So which one? He's put down a number of large lakes. I'm going to go maybe with Devil's Lake because I think that's going to flood out all of North Dakota in time, right?

Waddell says Devil's Lake. Brody says Lake Powell. Corey saying Lake of the Ozarks. Phil saying Flathead. And Corinne saying the lake in Chicago. But that one doesn't count. Yeah, it's a great lake. You're thinking Lake Michigan.

The correct answers are the Great Salt Lake, Lake of the Woods, or Lake Oahe. Oh, bullshit. I want to stay last. I don't want to. What'd you have, Brody? I had Lake Powell. Michael, in 10 years, your answer, the Devil's Lake, there might be right.

It might be right. Pretty dang flat. That could eat up the whole state. I am, like like really unhappy. Now, what were they again? We had the Great Salt Lake, Lake of the Woods, and Lake Owyhee. Those are all natural lakes. Lake Owyhee is a reservoir.

That's on the Missouri River. It goes from North Dakota to South Dakota. Now, the Great Salt Lake is 2,000 square miles. Lake of the Woods is 1,700 square miles. And Lake Owyhee is 700 square miles. But even if you put all three together, that's still only half the size of Lake Ontario, which is the smallest of the Great Lakes. Well, how big is Packer?

Where does that come in? I don't know. What's the lake in International Falls? Is that a Great Lake there? No. I went ice fishing one time. Oh, you did? International.

It was the coldest moment of my entire life. It's not a Great Lake. Now, to your credit, I think Okeechobee was maybe like fourth on the list. Was, you did? It was the coldest moment of my entire life. It's not a great lake. Now, to your credit, I think Okeechobee was maybe like fourth. Was it in there? It was like a top box. I know it was.

Four pack was at one time the largest earthen dam in the world. I got you. That was the one I was thinking of. We are on to our last question.

Give us another scoreboard update, Phil. Well, I don't think it's changed. Same thing. Well, we had Seth get it right. Oh, he did? Yes.

Seth tied Brody? Oh, wow. Come on, Phil. Dramatic twist. I was not paying any attention. Seth and Brody are tied for first thing with six points. What did you say, Seth? What was your answer?

The Great Salt Lake. And then Cal and Steve with five. The last question. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Tom McCormick. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What southern state has the most species of fish in America?

Southern state. Does this include saltwater fish? It does. This includes. This is crazy. Do we got to, is this, now when we say southern state, is this below the Mason-Dixon line or is this? Yes.

Or southern Illinois. Anybody who would think of a southern state would think of this as being one of them. Stu Miller is like, Illinois. What southern state has the most species of fish in America? We had a confident Seth and a Brody who has yet to write an answer. I already did. Oh, he did write an answer.

Okay, a confident Brody. While you were asking the question. I wouldn't say it's confident. It's a very confident Brody. I would say it's just the first thing that popped in my head. Okay. Boy, that's real interesting. I feel like it could be a trick question. I have a reason why I gave my answer, too. This is a lake or a reservoir? No, it's a state. What southern

state has the most species of fish in America? Okay, I'm changing. I thought, okay. God, man. It's so interesting. Does everybody have an answer? Dang. Okay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. God, man. It's so interesting. Does everybody have an answer? You could.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Florida. Cal saying Florida. Steve saying Florida. Florida, Florida, Florida. Phil saying Louisiana. And Corinne saying Louisiana. Corinne and I are... Florida's got all those non-native species.

And it's got the Pacific and the Gulf. It's got the Atlantic and the Gulf. It seemed too obvious. The correct answer is Alabama. Oh! Almost. Nobody got it correct. I wrote down Lake Eufaula, and I don't know why, but it hit me, but I'm thinking, wait a minute,

this is bigger than that. Alabama is home to 450 species of fish, which is made up of about 350 freshwater and 100 marine species. Biologists estimate that the Cahaba River alone has more species of freshwater

fish than the entire state of Florida. Excuse me, the entire state of California. The entire state of California. Are they counting all those crazy non-natives in Florida? I would assume so, because when they count the Alabama ones... They're getting into all these crazy catfish little catfish species.

Things that live in caves. So, do we have a winner? No. We have to go to a tiebreaker between Seth and Brody. Damn it, man. Stressful. Not even in the tiebreaker. But Steve and I should play in the tiebreaker for a second. Any ties for dead last?

Loser's bracket. Now, we have the tiebreaker question any time. No, it would be third bracket. Yeah. Now we have the tiebreaker question. The question is numerical. I'm going to still play. Everybody can play along, but the only answers that matter are Brody and Seth. We have a chance for Brody to catch Steve with the most wins of all time or Seth to get on the leaderboard.

Here's the question. North America's whitetail population hit Hit an all time low in 1890. What was it? Manly vanilly. I'll give you some help here. Sorry what is? Pre-European contact. There were 25 million.

And today there are about 25 million. In 1890 when herd sizes crashed. It's estimated that there were 0.13. Whitetails per square mile across their range. So I'm looking what their population was at their all-time low in 1890.

Is this across North America? This is across North America. I'm not even playing along. Now Steve said he was going to play, but he doesn't even have an answer. Well, I mean, I really had to come up with one, but... He's not feeling too confident. I will he was going to play. He doesn't even have an answer. I really had to come up with one. He's not feeling too confident. I will give you guys a hint.

Is this per square mile? Just the total population. But the per square mile population was.13 whitetails per square mile. So it's closest to the number. No over or under all that. We do not do prices right.

25 million before European contact prices 25 million uh european 25 million before european contact and 25 million today hmm you said you were going to give us a clue well steve detested it very quickly here i'll give you the clue it's between one and a million oh and brody erased his answer. Why did you just do that? Oh, yeah. Why did you just do that? Yeah, that was too much of a clue. You robbed victory from Seth's maw.

Really? Not his mom, but his maw, his mouth. Yeah, I wasn't expecting such a specific clue there. Dude, another contested victory here. I don't think it's that specific because there's a million answers. Very true. There ain't a million answers. Very true. There ain't a million answers when we talk about states. Do you guys have an answer?

Let me see what you got, Seth. Does the rest of the room want to play along or you guys all give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying 488,000 and Brody saying 500,000. You guys' guesses were within 12,000 of each other. The correct answer is 300,000, making Seth the challenge winner. Good job, Seth. Well earned, Seth.

Flip-flop fleshers on the winner's board. Do you want to make an acceptance speech, Seth? Thank you, Mike Waddell, for being here today. Taking that picture with Seth all those years ago. I'm just glad I didn't lose Steve. That inspired him to get to where he's at today. Now, Seth, who are you going to donate the $100 to? Since all I can think about coming up is turkey season, I'm going NWTF.

I like it. I like it. Congratulations, Seth. Thank you. I'm going NWTF. You'd like it. I like it. Congratulations, Seth. Thank you. I'm just glad it wasn't Brody. Michael, thank you for playing. Corey, thank you for joining us. More meat eater trivia coming at you soon.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.
