Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
You might not be able to join our raffles and sweepstakes and all that because of raffle and sweepstakes law, but hear this.
OnX Hunt is now in Canada. It is now at your fingertips, you Canadians.
The great features that you love in OnX are available for your hunts this season. Now the Hunt app is a fully functioning GPS

hunting zones, aerial imagery, 24K topo maps,
waypoints and tracking.
You can even use offline maps to see where you are
without cell phone service as a special offer.
You can get a free three months to try out OnX
if you visit onxmaps.com slash meat.
All right, welcome to Meat Eater Trivia. I am your trivia curator, Spencer Newhart, host, trivia host.
You okay with me saying host?
No, yeah, yeah.
Trivia host, Spencer Newhart.
Now, if you're not familiar, 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, which are hunting, fishing,
conservation, and cooking.
And like we teased at the end of the last episode,
we have a big announcement.
Steve, what is the big announcement?
Oh, we're staging up our donations.
Yeah.
So now when you win,
we'll send 500 bucks.
Because see, now I don't know
if people notice.
Now we're able to,
our trivia thing has taken off so much, we're able to sell ads against it.
Yeah, previously, the winner.
It was just a tack on.
It was 100 bucks.
Previously, the winner of the trivia would get to choose where a $100 donation would go to a conservation organization.
And we kind of pulled that out of our arses.
Yeah.
Yep.
It was a last minute email the night before we did it the first time.
And we are now up to $500.
So the pressure is on for our players.
Yeah, as the show gets more popular, the money will get more.
That's right.
Brewster is going to be really tense.
We have played six times so far.
Steve has won three times.
Brody, who is not here, has won twice.
Clay has won once.
And Seth is the newest member of the club who won the last time we played.
Proud of that one.
You know what, man? Here's a couple
things I think we need.
We need some kind of Winner's Club memorabilia.
Oh yeah, we need a t-shirt.
Like a patch. A patch.
Winner's Club memorabilia. Yeah.
That you can collect. And then I think that we need to have
on the little intro with the
No Country for Old Men stuff in it, I think that
someone in the end needs to say, Game on,
suckers, To end it.
I'll say it.
So we have some housekeeping.
I think I'll have my daughter do it.
I'll probably have my daughter say,
game on, suckers. You ever hear my voicemail
that my daughter leaves?
Yes. All the time.
If you've got something to say to my dad,
say it at the beep.
That's perfect.
Now I'm not convinced it's not Chester. I didn't hear your voicemail. You got something to say to my dad? Say it at the beep. That's perfect. Nailed it.
Now I'm not convinced it's not Chester.
Now we have some housekeeping from last time we played.
Oh, no.
This is what he means.
He means to say things that Spencer screwed up.
A few episodes ago, I asked the room what five states west of the Mississippi River don't have a national park.
The answer was Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
Corbin Newman wrote in to let me know that Nebraska actually gained a National Historical Park in 2021
when the Homestead National Monument of America was redesignated as the Homestead National Historical Park. But this doesn't change the answer because the National Park Service
technically considers national parks
and national historical parks as two different things.
According to them, national historical parks
are commonly areas of greater physical extent
and complexity than national historical sites.
So it'd be closer to like a monument
or a national historical site
than it would be a national park.
Kind of a non-announcement there.
Well, he wasn't the only one who wanted to write it.
Oh, you felt like you had to address it.
In that same episode, I asked the room to name a state with the brook trout as their state fish.
About a dozen people wrote in to correct me that North Carolina was wrong because their state fish is actually the redfish. But what those folks were missing is that North Carolina actually has two state fish,
a state saltwater fish being the redfish and a state freshwater fish being the southern Appalachian brook trout.
You've been Newhurst.
Thank you, Phil.
Phil, play the sounder.
We are now on to Meat Eater Trivia.
Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Everything.
How's that?
Just stand to win everything.
Game on, suckers!
All right, here we go.
The first question, the topic, is Mountain Men,
and like every time we play, this is going to be multiple choice.
This first great question comes to us via MeatEater's own graphics guy, Hunter Spencer.
If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia,
you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Did he submit online or just call you?
Just through Slack.
Oh.
Mary Weather Lewis, William Clark, Joseph Meek, John Coulter, Jim Bridger, William Henry,
Ashley, and James Beckworth were all born in what state?
Ohio. Give me the list again.
We have Mary Weather Lewis, William Clark, Joseph Meek, John Coulter, Jim Bridger, William
Henry, Ashley, and James Beckwith.
We're all born in what state?
Is it Ohio, Virginia, Illinois, or New York?
I want you to note that I had it written down before you offered the...
Well done.
Yeah.
Ohio, Virginia, Illinois, or New York?
Again, it is Meriwether Lewis.
Tom, you got to hide your board from me better.
I'm not stealing from you.
William Clark, Joseph Meek, John Coulter, Jim Bridger,
William Henry Ashley, and James Beckwith.
Now, which one of these men was it, Steve, that gave it away for you?
Or do you not want to tell me that?
Two of them.
Two of them? Okay.
Does everybody have an answer?
Three of them.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying Virginia.
Tom saying Virginia, Virginia, Virginia.
Corinne saying New York.
Chester saying Ohio.
And Seth saying New York.
Steve was right.
The correct answer is Virginia.
Can I tell them how they could have known that?
Yeah.
Oh, and I'll tell you another way.
Jim Beckwith was a freed slave so you know
it's going to be a slave state another way you maybe could have known that is hunter spencer's
from virginia so he wrote in a question about virginia or you could have read master trappers
yeah or uh tom's gonna be a formidable foe right now uh another thing is like all that like uh you
know the lewis and clark that was their whole like everybody was from virginia yeah that's right foe right now. Another thing is like all that, like, you know,
the Lewis and Clark,
that was their whole, like everybody was from Virginia back then. Yeah, that's right. Like anybody involved
in anything from a political
end of shit was all from Virginia.
Amazingly, Meriwether, Lewis, William Clark, and
John Coulter were all born within about
90 miles of each other between 1770
and 1775.
In addition to William Clark, John Coulter,
Jim Bridger, and William Henry Ashley
all being born in Virginia,
they all also died in Missouri.
Ooh, I like that.
That should not have been multiple choice.
I would disagree.
Do you think you guys would have
been in the correct area?
I liked it. It was multiple choice.
And he got it wrong.
And I got it wrong.
We are on
to question two. The topic is
fishing.
A wiper is a hybrid
of what to fish.
A wiper. That is spelled
W-I-P-E-R.
A wiper
is a hybrid of what to fish.
We have a lot of very quick answers in the room.
Seth and Chester still thinking.
There's a fox named Swiper on Dora the Explorer.
Don't think that'll help you.
Does everybody have an answer?
You ready?
Yeah, go for it.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying a white bass and a striped bass.
We have Tom with no answer.
We have Hayden saying white bass and striper.
Katie saying a white fish and question mark.
Corinne saying a white fish and a bass.
Chester saying a white bass and a striper.
And Seth saying a bass and unknown.
Not even what kind of bass. The correct answer is a white bass and a striper and Seth saying a bass and unknown. Not even what kind of bass. The correct
answer is a white bass and a striped bass. So we had a few folks get that right. Wipers are
considered functionally sterile, meaning that they have the ability to reproduce with striped bass,
white bass or other wipers, but are rarely successful at doing so. This makes them a
popular choice among game agencies to stock in lakes to
reduce schools of unwanted bait fish acting as an angler friendly alternative
to chemical treatments.
And it doesn't open up a whole,
it doesn't open up a whole Pandora's box of then you got some population of
fish.
That's right.
Breeding and spreading around.
But again,
there are rare instances where they will reproduce.
So I think they're becoming actually less popular than maybe they were in the 90s.
Oh, because sometimes it does get you.
Question three.
The topic is gear.
This popular big game cartridge, which was first developed in 2007,
was originally created for long-range target shooting.
This popular big game cartridge, which was first developed in 2007,
was originally created for long range target shooting. We had Steve who was originally stumped,
but now quickly has an answer. The rest of the room seems confident in what they're writing.
One of the newest calibers to the market. Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying the 6'5 Creedmoor.
Tom with no answer.
Hayden saying the 6'5 Creed.
Katie saying the 6'5 Western.
Corinne with no answer.
No, Corinne wrote three-point question.
Three-point question.
Oh, that's number three.
Chester and Seth both saying the 6.5 Creedmoor.
They are correct. It is the 6.5 Creedmoor. Katie, that was an educated
guess. I think the 6.5, or is it the
6.8 Western? 6.8 Western. Came out a few
years ago. Right around there, though.
I thought it might have been a PRC.
A few months ago, Jordan Sillers wrote a
caliber battle on themedia.com where he put
the 6.5 Creedmoor up against the.308 Winchester.
Each cartridge was judged based on ballistics, shootability, and versatility.
It was a tight race, but only one could be declared the winner.
If you want to know which cartridge came out on top, you can go read that piece on our website, which is titled Caliber Battle, colon,.308 Winchester versus 6.5 Creedmoor.
And we do have a 6.8 Western versus a 270 Winchester coming up today.
Oh, good plug, Katie.
That's why we got you here.
Quick question about your tattoo.
You have the dead man's hand.
It's very hard to distinguish the clubs from the spades on that tattoo.
Well, it's just not very big, but there were clubs and spades.
Yeah, but dude, I mean, when you're an old man
and it's just like an inky blob anyway.
You know, I've accepted that.
It's okay.
Because it's already like very hard to distinguish.
Then people will be forced to ask me about it
and be like, well, let me tell you about Wild Bill Hickok.
They're like, why does your arm say bleh?
That's right.
I think it's a really nice tattoo.
Thank you.
Oh, I like it.
I'm just worried about its longevity.
I have concerns about its longevity.
That's all.
We are on to question four.
The topic is conservation.
When scoring an elk or deer using the Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young system.
This is a throwaway to Tom.
Time length measurements
are represented by the letter G.
What letter is used
to represent the circumference
measurements?
So the tine
measurements are represented by
the letter G.
What letter is used
to represent the circumference measurements?
A fairly stumped room.
This may be an 0 for.
This is when scoring an elk or a deer.
And both Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young use the same lettering.
What you got, Tom?
I don't know. What you got, Tom? Is it M or not?
Hey, you got a 1 in 26 chance, at least.
I'm ready.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yeah.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying H.
Tom saying C.
Hayden saying M.
Katie saying M.
Corinne, I can't see your answer. M. Chester saying C. Hayden saying M. Katie saying M. Corinne, I can't see your answer.
M.
Chester saying C.
And Seth saying R.
But I think you do the circumferences right after the tines.
So it'd be like H.
The correct answer is H.
That's like critical thinking, man.
I asked Justin Spring, the director.
That's because I watch yanni score coos deer
and that's what he always does in that order i asked justin spring the director of big game
records for boone and crockett why this is he told me this unfortunately there isn't a good
story here when they were originally devising the scoring system they labeled each type of
measurement with a letter they happen to be at g for time lengths then obviously the next in line
is circumference,
which is naturally the letter H.
So well done, Steve.
Yeah, people, you know,
you always, when you're sitting there
criticizing deer,
you're always like,
oh, he's got pretty weak G2s.
So everybody knows the Gs, right?
And the next measurement,
as you said, is circumference,
which is represented by H.
Question five.
After this, we will get a scoreboard update from Phil, who decided not to play today so he can do a better job of scorekeeping.
Yeah, and people might be treated to a mid-roll advertisement.
That's right.
Great job.
Stay tuned.
I was tired of having people raise their hands.
It was a bad system.
Stay tuned for the mid-roll advertisement.
The topic is foraging.
Tell me two mushrooms that have names inspired by birds.
Now, I could think of seven.
Maybe you can come up with more.
I'd be hard-pressed to imagine that you can get to, like, ten.
But tell me two mushrooms that have names inspired by birds.
Oh, son of a bitch.
Steve has one, I think.
Yeah, I got one quickly.
The rest of the room seems like it probably has one.
Tom, do you do much foraging?
Uh, no.
I know more L's, that's all I know.
We're talking like colloquial names though, right?
Yeah, I'm not talking like the scientific name.
Two mushrooms that have names inspired by birds.
And there's ten of them.
I can think of seven.
Holy cow.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm just guessing.
How's the room doing?
More time.
Can we get half a point?
I would not be awarding any half a point.
And do we just, we can only put two down.
Just put down two.
Don't shotgun answers out there.
Two mushrooms with names inspired by birds.
I thought this would be a guarantee for Steve.
Almost felt a little guilty including it.
No, I'm really struggling.
Do you have one? Yeah.
Are you going to try to find number
two? I'm thinking. Okay.
I'll think for as long as I can.
Does everybody else have an answer?
Steve, I think you were out of time.
Go ahead and
reveal your answers. We have Steve
saying pheasant back, Tom
saying black or brown, Hayden saying chicken in the woods, pheasant back. Tom saying black or brown.
Hayden saying chicken in the woods.
Pheasant in the woods. Son of a bitch!
And pheasant back. Katie saying chicken in the woods and hen
in the woods. Corinne saying, I can't
read that. Turkey tail and chicken
in the woods. Chester saying
chanterelle and morel.
Neither of which are birds.
And Seth saying turkey tail. How did I not think of the
son of a... Chicken of the woods.
How did...
The seven Ike's go over a perfect game.
I feel like such an idiot.
Chicken of the woods.
So do I.
Hen of the woods.
And then there's one mushroom that shares two bird names.
The pheasantback mushroom, which is also known as the hawk's wing or the dryad saddle.
And then the turkey tail, the bird's nest, and the chicken fat boulette.
Among these mushrooms, most folks would consider
Chicken of the Woods to be the best tasting.
If you want to find Chicken of the Woods this year,
we have a lot of great resources on themedia.com
that will help you do just that.
We have a Hayden Samick article called Six
Beginner-Friendly Mushrooms You Can Find in Summer
and two articles that I wrote called The Other
Springtime Mushrooms and The 12 Best Edible Wild
Mushrooms.
All three pieces will help you locate,
identify, and cook chicken of the woods.
I might feel as though Hickok was playing
with a trick deck,
because those all look like clubs.
I'll ask my artist about it,
see what he can do about that.
My kids have a trick deck now.
Oh, really?
Yeah, you know what?
I didn't know this.
Is it a pinnacle deck or what?
No, it's like there's an ever so slight difference in the size of the cards.
So you can load it with like ever so slight,
but they can feel it with their hand when they're doing card tricks.
Maybe that's why he got shot.
There you go.
We are halfway through the game.
Phil, give us a scoreboard update.
Tied in third place, we have Tom Miranda,
Corinne, and Seth with one point.
In second place, tied are Katie and Chester.
And tied in first place, Steve and Hayden Samick.
And how many do they have?
They have four?
Four.
Four points apiece.
Hey, folks.
Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes.
And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join.
Our northern brothers get irritated.

question six the topic is fishing.
This next great question comes to us via Jeff Whitgrove.
If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia,
you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
The National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame,
which is located in Wisconsin,
has a 143-foot sculpture of a jumping fish in front of it.
What kind of fish is it?
That's not a fishing question.
That's a tourism question.
Chester had it down before you even finished your sentence.
The National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame,
which is located in Wisconsin,
which is where Chester hails from,
has a 143-foot sculpture of a jumping fish in front of it.
What kind of fish is it?
Does everybody have an answer?
I bet Chester wrote big old sturgeon.
Yeah, they jump.
Actually, white sturgeon jump quite a bit when you catch them.
It's a whole River Monsters episode about sturgeon knocking folks out of boats.
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying a largemouth bass Tom saying a wall
awesome the room is seen Chester's answer which is musky Katie saying
sturgeon Corinne saying carp and Seth saying a largemouth bass Chester's of
course right a mus is a muskie.
It is formally called the Shrine to Anglers
but most just refer to it as the
Big Muskie.
It is nearly
five stories tall and sits
atop an 88,000 gallon
pond. The jaws of the fish actually
have an observation deck which offer a
panoramic view of Lake Hayward.
It can accommodate about 20 people and occasionally
functions as a wedding venue for
intimate ceremonies.
Pretty close to the Angry Minnow, which is a
tavern. Have you been up to that
observation deck? Yeah.
You should go renew your vows there.
That's a very fast answer.
My grandparents
live right up there.
On the observation deck? No.
Up in that area.
Okay.
Have you ever heard of somebody getting married there?
No.
Dude, you should have done that, man.
That would have been great.
We are on to question seven.
The topic is cooking.
Canola is a trademark term that is the combination of two other words.
What are they?
Canola is a trademarked term that is a combination of two other words.
What are they?
Holy shit.
This would be like the word spam is the combination of spiced ham.
So what is canola?
Canola. Does what is canola?
Does anybody have an answer?
I do.
Do you think you got it right, Chester?
I got it.
No, but I think it could be close.
Okay.
Looks like he wrote musky again.
Yeah.
He got so lucky on that first one.
He's like, I'm trying that shit again, man.
Does everybody have an answer?
Steve?
No, I don't.
This is the first time in my life.
Oh, no.
This is my first blank card.
I don't have an answer.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve with nothing.
Tom saying corn and sunflower.
Hayden saying, what are we saying there? You know what? Don't read. Don't read. Okay. Katie saying corn and sunflower. Hayden saying, what are we saying there?
You know what?
Don't read.
Don't read.
Okay.
Katie saying corn and granola. I was going to do that, but there's no way that's right.
Corinne with no answer.
Chester saying can and oil.
And Seth without an answer.
Nobody got it right.
The correct answer is Canada and oil.
What?
That's not two ingredients.
I got oil, right?
I didn't say ingredients. That's, right? I didn't say ingredients.
That's not ingredients.
I didn't say ingredients.
I never said ingredients.
Also, when did oil
get such a whole lot?
You made it seem like that.
Yeah, you only sold it like that,
I felt, man.
You can go back
and listen to this episode.
In nowhere did I say ingredients.
I might just go back
and listen to the episode.
Hey, I had the
close to the abbreviation
to Canada and oil.
You were three letters off.
That's right.
Canola oil is a vegetable oil
derived from a variety of rapeseed plants that are low in acid.
Danielle Pruitt named canola oil as one of the five best oils for deep-frying fish in a Meteor article
because it has a high smoke point, neutral flavor, and it's very affordable.
Does she cover off on that name, the nomenclature?
No.
If you want to know her other four picks for the best deep-frying oils, you can find that
article on themedia.com, which is titled The Best Oils for Deep-Frying Fish.
We are on to question eight.
We will get another scoreboard update from Phil after this.
According to Ducks Unlimited, there are seven recognized subspecies of Canada goose.
Name two of them.
Oh.
Now, I'll tell you this.
Cackling is not one of them.
DU considers cacklers to be a different species than Canada geese.
So don't write down cackler.
Name two of the seven recognized subspecies.
The topic for this question, I forgot to announce, is waterfowl.
One problem here.
Uh-oh.
They recently really, really they went from 24
to 7.
So there's a lot of upheaval
in the Canada goose
taxonomy realm.
My guess would be what you're referring to
is when they split cacklers
and Canada geese, which
happened in 2004.
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay.
We'll talk about it later.
Some species of Canada geese.
I got one.
That ain't good enough.
Not when you need two.
Does everybody have an answer?
I'm going to guess.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying the giant and the
lesser. Tom saying the giant
and the speck.
Hayden saying the greater and
lesser. Katie saying the
Ottawa and Saskatchewan. Corinne without
an answer. Chester saying the
lesser and specks.
Seth saying the lesser and
the quill. I have a problem.
I wrote, I meant greater.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
No.
Yeah, the other lesser.
I didn't mean giant.
Here are the correct answers.
You have the Hudson Bay or interior,
the Moffitts or Great Basin,
the giant or greater,
the lesser, the Atlantic,
the dusky, and the Vancouver.
So you got it.
Did you get it?
Yeah, I got it.
What were the other ones?
Do you know?
You got it?
Let me see your thing.
Greater and lesser.
I meant to write greater too.
You're asking me what the other ones are?
Yeah.
Well, so I talk about the cacklers here in a second.
In 2004 is when the American Ornithologist Union made the switch to separating Canada geese and cackling geese.
Most birding and hunting groups have followed suit, identifying seven subspecies of Canada geese and four subspecies of cackling geese.
Those cackling subspecies are Richardson's taverns, Aleutian, and cackling cackling.
Hmm.
You're cackling cackling.
Everyone, like all the waterfowlers in Montana want to kill those quill, they call them
the quill lake canids
that have the white breast feathers.
Why isn't that a subspecies?
Because it's not, man. Listen, they have,
as I was saying earlier,
genetics has done two things to the world.
It's created a tremendous amount of lumping and a tremendous amount of splitting.
Yes.
And this answer will probably be different in a decade from now. Right now, geese are going through a dramatic lumping episode.
Gotcha.
As opposed to other critters?
Yeah, like there's a lot of aquatic insects
that are going through a great splitting episode right now.
Things that we're like,
oh, it looks like a bug, are different.
We are on to question nine.
The topic is biology.
Did you want to scoreboard?
Yeah, I thought you'd do a scoreboard.
Yes, that's a good call.
Thank you, Phil.
I'm just going to list the people who are still in the game.
Everyone else, you're doing great.
Lovely people.
Chester has three points in second place,
and tied for first are Steve and Hayden with five.
All right.
We have two questions left.
Question nine, the topic is biology. We have two questions left. Question nine.
The topic is biology.
This is a visual question.
If you want to play along
and see what the room is seeing,
you can find the photo
that I'm about to show them
on my Instagram,
which is at Spencer Newhart.
So I'll give you a second
to pause the show.
You know, on Instagram,
you've seen the picture.
You liked it.
I haven't seen the picture, though.
You followed me
and you're now back to the podcast.
All right.
A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of a squirrel that got its scrotum stuck in a wooden fence
and died hanging upside down by its sack.
Shortly thereafter, Joe Bostwick sent me a picture of another animal in the exact same
predicament at his house in Oregon.
I'm going to show you a picture of that animal's scrotum and you need to identify
what it is based off of those testicles.
Where was this location at?
This was in Oregon.
This critter got stuck
in a wooden fence
in Oregon
and was hanging upside down when Joe found it.
So you need to use this scrotum to identify what animal it belongs to.
This is a urology question.
What are you seeing, Chester?
What does that look like to you?
It looks like a red.
Looks like a hairy plum.
Yes, like a a hairy plum. Yes.
Yeah, like a real hairy plum. Spencer, you always
talk about how you're not going to find these
questions in bar trivia.
I think this is the first one where I'm like, yep,
this is actually true. This is the first
time something like this has ever been asked.
Spencer, can you repeat the question one more time?
Yeah, so what you are
looking at is
the nutsack of an animal and organ that got caught in somebody's wooden fence.
I want you to tell me what animal that scrotum belongs to.
Does everybody have an answer?
No, not yet.
Not yet.
Thank you, Joe.
This landed in my Instagram DMs.
Going to get a lot of mileage out of it.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying a possum, a.k.a. Grinner.
Tom saying no clue.
Hayden saying raccoon.
Katie saying fox.
Corinne saying raccoon.
Chester saying raccoon.
And Seth saying raccoon.
The correct answer is possum.
Damn it.
Grinner.
That possum, you ready for a plot twist, actually survived.
Joe and his wife Kelsey are hunters, but they didn't have the heart to kill the possum.
So Joe got out his drill and loosened the boards on the fence until the critter was out.
They said the possum had scratched its claws nearly completely off while dangling upside
down, which is understandable since they
believe it was hanging there for about three days.
Once it was
free, they watched it slowly walk away
and lay in a pile of leaves and play
possum, and by the next morning, the
possum was gone. So we think
it had a happy ending. He said to his buddies,
he's like, don't even ask.
Where I've been.
We are on to the last question, and we have Hayden, who is trailing Steve by one point.
We need Steve to get it wrong and Hayden to get it right for a chance at a tiebreaker.
The topic is cooking.
Japanese horseradish is more commonly referred to as what?
Quick answers from Steve and Hayden.
There's no way he's going to get that wrong.
See if the rest of the room does.
That's like the easiest.
Japanese horseradish is more commonly referred to as what?
Now you're just putting down Hayden to people who aren't going to get it right.
Why are you even asking this question?
I think it's a good question.
Did Steve slip you a 20 under the table or something, man? Now you guys are just being mean to the folks who aren't going to get it right. Why are you even asking this question? I think it's a good question. Did Steve slip you a 20 under the table or something, man?
Now you guys are just being mean to the folks who aren't going to get it right.
No, I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying because of ease or difficulty.
I'm just saying I just don't see how it even kind of has anything to do with anything.
It's a cooking question.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I can see it now.

Okay, he's back in.
The more I think about it.
We got him.
Yeah, no, I agree now.
Does everybody have an answer? Seth, are you going to come up with one, do you think it now. Okay, he's back in. The more I think about it. We got him. Yeah, no, I agree now. Does everybody have an answer?
Seth, are you going to come up with one, you think?
At this point, it doesn't matter.
No.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying wasabi.
Tom saying wasabi, wasabi, wasabi.
Corinne saying wasabi.
Chester saying wasabi.
Seth without an answer.
The correct answer is wasabi.
Ah!
And that makes Steve the winner.
Nice job.
500 bucks.
Another patch.
$500 donation.
Where is it going, Steve?
I would like my $500 donation to go to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
What do you like so much about them besides being on the board?
Yeah, does that line
your pockets somehow? No,
quite the opposite.
I'm on the board.
I like that
they deal in federal policy.
I like that they have a
legitimate bipartisan seat
at the table when it comes to such
discussions and people listen to them.
And, I like their slogan,
which is guaranteeing Americans quality places to hunt and fish.
Can't argue with that.
No money.
Well spent speaks to my soul.
We have more media trivia coming at you soon.
