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.
Starting point is 00:01:21 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,
Starting point is 00:01:37 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.
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:24 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 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,
Starting point is 00:05:09 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?
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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?
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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,
Starting point is 00:09:12 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.
Starting point is 00:09:29 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?
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:33 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.
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:12:05 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
Starting point is 00:12:21 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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,
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:16 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.
Starting point is 00:14:35 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:34 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.
Starting point is 00:15:53 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!
Starting point is 00:16:09 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.
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:39 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
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:18:17 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. Well, if you're sick of, you know, sucking high and titty there, OnX is now in Canada.

Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:07 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?
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:21:06 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:37 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.
Starting point is 00:21:51 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?
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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?
Starting point is 00:22:51 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:16 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.
Starting point is 00:23:26 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
Starting point is 00:23:33 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:30 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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.
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:19 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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.
Starting point is 00:27:13 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:27:52 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.
Starting point is 00:28:08 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.
Starting point is 00:28:18 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:29:00 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.
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:59 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:33 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
Starting point is 00:30:56 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.
Starting point is 00:31:20 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?
Starting point is 00:31:44 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Yeah, I can see it now. It's a cooking question. 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?
Starting point is 00:32:06 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.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Seth without an answer. The correct answer is wasabi. Ah! And that makes Steve the winner. Nice job. 500 bucks. Another patch. $500 donation.
Starting point is 00:32:35 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
Starting point is 00:32:54 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.
Starting point is 00:33:14 No money. Well spent speaks to my soul. We have more media trivia coming at you soon. Thank you guys for playing Tom. Thanks for joining us. Thank you very much. you guys for playing. Tom, thanks for joining us. Thank you very much. Great to be here. Thank you.
