Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis, Cal, Mark, Brody, Hayden, Alyssa, Corinne, and Corey. You'll notice one name I didn't mention there, and that's Steve Rinella. This is a Steve-less episode. Wah, wah.

That was Giannis. That's all right. He's having fun right now. Now, Alyssa, I think this is your first time on the podcast, so tell folks what you do here at MeatEater. I am a staff accountant, and I do accounts payables, account receivables, work with Phelps Game Calls, doing some accounts receivables with their wholesalers, and just have a great team. I like it.

And she was a big contributor to the Pardon My Plate series. Giannis, I don't know if you know this. I do not. But the stuffed bobcat that we messed around with, that actually came from Alyssa. It did. Nice. Why do you have a stuffed bobcat? It's my husband's, actually.

I can't take full credit for it, but it's his. Giannis, when are you getting your bobcat pillow? Hopefully soon. Alyssa recently told me that she had something at one point like 16 dogs? 12. 12 dogs. Now, was that a puppy situation?

It was a puppy mill. They got out of that. Devil's in the details. No, we actually raised English pointers for a long time. Cool. Yeah. That's awesome. I once had 18 cats.

That doesn't surprise me. That explains a lot. That was a surprise kittens underneath the stairwell of the front porch situation. That's too many cats. Way too many. I had... You were feeding all of them? No, no, no. My wife fed one.

Uh-huh. Without me knowing, outside, which led to two litters being born under the stairs of our front porch without me knowing. And then at four weeks old, they emerged. And we had to get rid of them. Yeah, and cows.

Like, get rid of them? Oh, I was gonna say. Yes. Wink, wink. We had to get rid of them, Brody. It's not too many cats. The smallest box of 22 shells you can get is 25.ink, wink. We had to get rid of them, Brody. It's not too many cats. The smallest box of 22 shells you can get is 25. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from our four verticals,

which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Me, Dieter, will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now, I told you how we're going to reveal a new stat each episode, and the stat of the week this week is doing a deep dive on Brody Henderson's performance. Here's why. Let's hear it. Brody put together the oddest trivia streak we'll likely ever see.

In the first 10 games Brody ever played, he either won or went into overtime on every game. That's damn impressive, Brody. Yeah, and now you're going to get to the bad part. Yeah. Now, he did win four of those contests, but three of them were outright victories with no overtime, which means that when Brody does go to overtime,

he almost never wins. Except for the last time I went to overtime. Yes. Well, I was going to say two out of three with me. That seems... But I never win, so that doesn't matter. Brody has went to overtime six times, but has only won one of those games. So he's phenomenal

in the first ten questions. That's not correct. He won the first and the last one, so... Here's the thing, Cal. This episode is for a future date that we don't know. This could come out like Christmas for all we know. You're talking to me like it's my fault. Which is interesting.

I'm talking to you as though... Yeah, it could come out any time, but you could end up being wrong too. As though I wrote this script this morning before we knew who won the last game of trivia. You got a tough gig, Spencer. Oh, boy. I'm crying for him. So, Brody, it's phenomenal with the first 10 questions,

but often struggles on the 11th. So Brody, what is it about your trivia game that doesn't translate to overtime? Because the way the overtime thing is set up is not based on knowledge. It's always a guess. Oh, man. Like it's always someone guessing a number.

Wow. It's kind of harsh. That's not true. You have to have some sort of like information to get in the ballpark. Well, it's not completely true. I'll give you that. But it does come down to like a guess. I think most people that have gone

into overtime would agree with that. I would be with you there, Brody. It is impressive how often those first 10 games you were on the winning end. It's good work. Thank you. Now, like I said, this episode is coming out way in the future. We have no idea when.

Last time we did this, I asked Giannis and Seth to make some predictions about what would happen in the next month. Seth is like Nostradamus. I asked him how he's going to do in the Fort Peck walleye tourney. I think he said 14th. They got 17th. We asked him who was going to be the sloppiest at his wedding. He predicted Chester. And I've been to many weddings with an open bar,

and I've never seen somebody take Pepto-Bismol during the dance like we saw Chester do. Maybe I'm betraying a confidence there. Who actually helped him get that Pepto-Bismol? Dirtmuth and I went and got him some Pepto. But I heard that he just felt like he was going to puke. But I think I wasn't there to witness this, but I think in the end, Dirt might have overtaken Chester. He went?

Yeah. He fell in the creek. Oh, no. Yes. Better than the alternative, which had He fell in the creek. Oh no! Yes! Better than the alternative, which had been falling in the fire. That was like three hours after I was already at home asleep, though. He survived that. So, Yanni, you want to make another prediction this time? I think last time

you predicted that Pete Alonzo was going to have like 20 home runs by now. I checked, he's at 22. Oh. So you got any predictions on what might happen in like the next month or something? Oh boy. I'm going to kill my first booner, probably. In the next

month? Not in the next month. Hoping home for fishing games, listening. So you want to make any predictions or should we move on? Oh, you can move on. If I come up with something, I'll let you know. Now in a previous Game of Trivia, we talked about the biggest private landowners in America. And during that question, I asked Cal for what the famous Leupold quote was about private land conservation.

We couldn't come up with it at the time, but I went and found it this morning. Here it is. Conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the private landowner who conserves the public interest. So, Cal, explain to folks what that means because there are a lot of great quotes about conservation, but very few that directly apply to private landowners. I don't know if that's true. Well, the context, right, is important, because like robber baron times, but it's saying that even though it's private land you are shackled with upholding the public trust which is wildlife i can say that in a lot of different ways but um yeah and i mean if you want to like really start reading into this it's just like a deep depressing hole

yeah matters what happens on both sides of the fence. It does. And as those fences get smaller and smaller and land gets chunked up smaller and smaller and folks have very different ethoses as to how that stuff should behave, we constantly have to sit there and be like, well, you know, wildlife is public unless you build a tall enough fence. Now, also on a previous Game of Trivia, we talked about Kim Jong-il's claimed accomplishments, which include inventing the burrito and curing dwarfism.

But now I want to talk about his achievements in sports, which would make him the greatest athlete in the world. In 1994, he played his first ever game of golf in which he hit 11 holes in one and scored 38 under par. Later that year, he bowled for the first time ever and amazingly got a perfect 300. Isn't that incredible? Wow is all I can say. Yeah, the man doesn't even look like an athlete, but 11 holes in one. Well, I think that's just focus. It's just a ball hitting pins at the end of the lane.

That's right. Is the proper way hole-in-ones? Holes-in-one? Yeah, I don't know. You're saying holes-in-one. I think it should be holes-in-one. It's like Surgeon's General. What's the...

Attorney's General? Yeah. I think holes-in-one is right. Now, the dictator was infatuated with sports, which, of course, you would be too if you were the world's greatest athlete, but his love of basketball was actually his greatest weakness, according to some.

Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum actually once said that North Korea is less of a threat than Iran because, quote, Kim Jong-il doesn't want to die. He wants to watch NBA basketball. Wasn't, didn't Dennis Rodman go and hang out there? I think that was with his son, Kim Jong-un. But yeah, those folks love the NBA over there. And that's why

they're not going to send a nuke anywhere because they just want to watch NBA basketball. Has the format of this changed since last time I was here? What's going on? And with that, we're on to Meat Eater Trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything.

How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. This will be multiple choice, and the topic is mountain men. This first great question comes to us from steven ranella if you have a question you think is right for me to trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com what was jedediah smith's middle name was it

hunter steven strong or hercules again what was Jedediah Smith's middle name? Was it Hunter, Stephen, Strong, or Hercules? Did Steve supply the answers? For this question? Oh, no. No. He gave me the right answer. Gotcha.

Steve wanted this one to be a fill-in-the-blank, but I didn't think anybody would get it. So that's why I made it a multiple choice Does that help you Brody Knowing that I came up with it No I was just curious I think I know it But I've said that before

Hunter Steven Strong Or Hercules Does everybody have an answer Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying Hercules. Hayden saying Strong.

Brody saying Strong. Alyssa saying Strong. Corinne saying Steven. Cal saying Strong. Corey saying Steven. And Giannis saying Hercules. The correct answer is Strong. Strong was his mother's last name, and Smith was his father's last name.

This was a tradition made popular a few hundred years ago as religious middle names fell out of favor. Today, the most common middle names for boys is James, and for girls is Marie. I have the most common middle name. I do, too. Wow. Two of them in this room. Question two. The topic is fishing what state is home to the finger lakes region why is that one so funny

there's a office episode with jim carrey and you know what my wife brought up this exact thing when i asked her this question That was funny when he says it. That's what Steve would be doing. Again, what state is home to the Finger Lakes region? There's also that SNL sketch where Kristen Wiig has the tiny hands. It's like those little, I don't know if you've seen those.

It's like their sisters and their singers. They came from the Finger Lakes. Yeah. That's good. Does everybody have an answer? I'll go with it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying New York, New York, New York.

Alyssa without an answer. Corinne saying New York. Cal saying New York. Corey saying Minnesota. And Yana saying Minnesota. The correct answer is New York, Corey saying Minnesota, and Yana saying Minnesota, the correct answer is New York. The geologic term Finger Lakes refers to a long,

narrow lake in a deep glacial valley. Eleven water bodies make up the Finger Lakes region, and although they're known for great fishing, the area is also famous for its wine production because over 400 wineries and vineyards surround the lakes. We call those fjords where I'm from.

Call them what? Fjords. The wineries or the lakes? That type of lake. My grandpa grew up on Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen. It's one of the biggest ones. Woodstock? Isn't that Watkins Glen?

No, I think Woodstock's Woodstock. That's not right. Question three, the topic is wildlife. This next great question is from Brody Whitley. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Brody's eyebrows perked up like, ooh, he's going to do a question I submitted. Perfect.

What wild animal did President Coolidge keep as a pet, which he named Rebecca and built a treehouse for? What wild animal did President Coolidge keep as a pet, which he named Rebecca and built a treehouse for? Quick answer from Mark. Do you know it? Just a guess. Was Coolidge our largest president?

I don't think. Wasn't Taft kind of? Taft. Taft. He was the 300 pound plus. Wasn't there some story about him getting stuck in a bathtub? Am I making that up? Yeah.

Yeah. And Coolidge was heart of the Depression, the Great Depression. That's a good hint. Again, what wild animal did President Coolidge keep as a pet, which he named Rebecca and built a treehouse for? Does everybody have an answer? I'm going to change it real quick. Sorry.

Too much talking about the Great Depression. I'd be very curious to see if Cal regrets changing his answer. For that reason, I'm writing it down across. There you go. Hayden? I don't know how to spell this word. I don't want to turn this into an Eastern Wolf situation. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Marcus saying raccoon, Hayden saying serval cat, Birdie saying raccoon, Alyssa saying squirrel, Corinne saying peacock, Cal saying squirrel, Corey saying chimpanzee, and Giannis sang koala. The correct answer is raccoon. I knew it! Rebecca, Cal, crossed out raccoon. Now, Rebecca was sent to the White House in 1926 by a group in Mississippi.

They intended for Coolidge to serve her for Thanksgiving dinner, but the president said he had no interest in eating a raccoon. So they made her their pet instead. Rebecca was a White House staple during the Coolidge presidency, participating in the annual Easter egg hunt and even vacationing with the family. What group sent this? A group from Mississippi. It said, now this was what I found odd.

The Culinary Institute of Mississippi? It said a group of supporters A group from Mississippi. It said, now, this was what I found odd. The Culinary Institute of Mississippi? It said a group of supporters sent her from Mississippi. But that seems like something that you would, like, give an enemy, like someone you don't like. Is sending them a raccoon to eat for Thanksgiving? Well, no. It's a different time. Yeah, exactly.

I guess. People like to eat raccoons back then. Speaking of, I mean, of all people, you should know. Pardon my plate. You know, it's become too mainstream by Stephen Rinella and Clay Newcomb cooking all those raccoons. So it doesn't even fit for that show. Question four. The topic is cooking.

How many spices are in allspice? Again, how many spices are in allspice? Allspice is one word. A-L-L-S-P-I-C-E. How many spices are in allspice? Some quick answers from our fellas who have worked in the restaurant industry before. Corey, you know this one? I hope so.

Giannis, you know this one? No. Good. Everybody reveal your answers. We have Marcus saying 6, Hayden saying 5, Brody saying 5, Alyssa saying 5, Corinne saying 5, Cal saying 1, Corey saying 5, and Giannis saying 1.

We have a correct answer in the room and it is 1. What? All Spice is a berry that's native to evergreen trees in Central America. It's a versatile spice that has notes of sweet and savory, making it a great addition to pies, brines, and soups. If you want to cook with it, try Danielle Pruitt's recipe for Caribbean goose tacos that you can find on TheMeatEater.com. You guys are all thinking of that Chinese powder. I thought it was an appropriation

of Chinese five spice. All spice is one spice. Wanted to question five. The topic is conservation. There are five states with three or more federal fish hatcheries.

Name one of them. Again, there are five states with three or more federal fish hatcheries. Name one of them. Now, before anyone writes in saying that I got this wrong or something, note the word federal, federal fish hatcheries. Five states with how many or more? Three or more Federal fish hatcheries. Five states with how many or more? Three or more federal fish hatcheries.

You need to name one of those states. Does everybody have an answer? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying California. Hayden saying New York. Brody saying Washington. Alyssa saying Colorado. Corinne saying Washington. Cal saying Washington. Corey saying Washington.. Brody saying Washington. Alyssa saying Colorado. Corinne saying Washington.

Cal saying Washington. Corey saying Washington. And Giannis saying Michigan. The correct answers are Arizona, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington. So the room did pretty well. We had a lot of Washingtons. I thought California was going to go, Mark. Yeah. There are 71 national fish hatcheries that release over 100 million fish on an annual basis.

About a third of what they raise are threatened or endangered species. Washington has the most federal hatcheries in America with 10. So those of you that got it right, got it right with some authority. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Hit us with a scoreboard update. All right. We have Alyssa and Corey with one point, and that is actually tied for third place there.

And then tied for second place, four ways, we have Mark, Giannis, Hayden, and Corinne, each with two. And in first place, tied up again, our Cal and Brody. With four. Did I not say Giannis? Giannis has two. I have two. and in first place, tied up again, are Cal and Brody. With how many? With four. Did I not say Giannis? Giannis has two. I have two, second place.

There you go. Still in the game with Corrine. That's weird. California has five federally endangered runs of salmon. It's a big state. And it's a big state. A lot of shoreline. Now, the Shelby Index, she got three and a half, right?

She gave herself a half point somewhere. I don't remember where. So, today's winner should get seven. For remembering Jim Carrey was in that office episode. That could have been it. People get lost in the Finger Lakes all the time. Hey, folks. 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.

Welcome to the OnX club, y'all. Question six, the topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jared Shaw. For sending this great question, Jared is going to get a meat eater hat that was signed by everyone in the room. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week,

then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. This air-breathing fish, which goes by nicknames like swamp trout and mud pike, is the last remaining member of its entire genus. What is it? This air-breathing fish,

which goes by nicknames like Swamp Trout and Mud Pike, is the last remaining member of its entire genus. What is it? We have a stumped room. Just seeing some answers getting written now son of a does everybody have an answer go ahead and reveal your answers we have Mark

saying snake head Hayden saying bofin Brody saying bofin Alyssa without an answer Corinne saying guppy Cal saying gar Brody saying bowfin. Alyssa without an answer. Corinne saying guppy. Cal saying gar. Corey saying carp. And Giannis saying snakehead.

The correct answer is bowfin. Yeah, that's a good one. Bowfin are some of the oldest freshwater fish in the world. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Jurassic era about 200 million years ago and haven't changed much since. Other nicknames for them include Grinners, Grinnells, Cypress Trout, Mudfish, Cottonfish, and Dogfish. God, that's a good question. That's why it is our listener

question of the week. These things got some teeth, man. I've seen people have sent me pictures because they dry their heads out and they're pretty impressive. I like to catch one when I'm in the state. A lot like a snake head. Yeah.

Question seven. The topic is hunting. Name three of what hunters refer to as the big five game animals in Africa. You need to name three of what hunters refer to as the Big Five game animals in Africa. I don't think anyone in this room has hunted in Africa. Cal? No. Yanni?

No. Again, three of the Big Five. Still some writing from Corey and Marcus. This is not whitetail. Has the big five been changed? I don't think so. I think the term has been hijacked, though, by other groups. It's not just a hunting term anymore.

Right. Like the barnyard five or whatever. But that's a slam in Texas. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying elephant, buffalo, lion. Hayden saying buffalo, lion, leopard. Brody saying buffalo, lion, elephant.

Alyssa saying lion, elephant, buffalo. Corinne saying rhino, elephant, lion. Cal saying elephant, hippo, buffalo. Corey saying kudu, buffalo, elephant. Giannis saying lion, buffalo, and elephant. The room did very well. The five are elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and

leopard. So I think everybody except Cal. The hippo is on the list of dangerous game. What's the second list? Just that it kills a bunch of people. Right. So that is... But yeah, I was wondering if they changed it kills a bunch of people. Right. And so that is...

But yeah, I was wondering if they changed it because of the rhino. Did everybody else get it right? Well, now they charge hunters to just go dart them and knock them out. The Big Five were considered to be the most difficult and dangerous animals to hunt on the continent. The term

was invented by hunters, but has since been adopted by conservation groups and tourism businesses as a way to group together Africa's megafauna. We're on to question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. This next great question is from John Schlesinger. If you have a question you think is right

for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in 1962 after it was caught climbing the fence of an Air Force base near Duluth, Minnesota. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in 1962 after it was caught climbing the fence of an Air Force base near Duluth, Minnesota. Bro, are you confident over there? Well, I can't say anything because it might give a clue. If you say yes or no. But I feel like this thing, let me just put it this way.

I feel like this has been covered before elsewhere. Am I right, Spencer? We'll get to that in a minute. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in 1962 after it was caught climbing the fence of an Air Force base near Duluth, Minnesota. So, like we were going to nuke ourselves? We'll get to that in a minute. No, we're going to nuke Minnesota.

That doesn't make sense. The Ruskies were like... Coming for those walleye in Minnesota. Yeah. Does everybody have an answer? No. I'm still going through the big five. Well, I think that is the debate.

Is the big five the most marketable or is it the most dangerous? Cal, you got it wrong. Oh, I'm embracing my wrongness. I'm in the truth. I'm in the quest for actual knowledge here. I like it. There's no pissing and moaning about getting it wrong.

I got it wrong. I'm proud of it. Okay. Yanni? What? Do you have an answer? No. How about now?

Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying a possum. Hayden saying a possum. Bertie saying a black bear. Alyssa saying a skunk. Corinne saying a black bear. Cal saying a black bear.

Corey saying a squirrel. And Janice saying a bear. The correct answer is black bear. Damn it. Here's what happened. A soldier spotted a shadowy figure climbing a fence of the air force base shortly after midnight. He fired his pistol at it and sounded a sabotage alarm that alerted nearby bases that the Soviets were starting a ground attack.

Then the soldier realized that it was a black bear and canceled the warning just before America sent nuclear armed aircrafts into flight. There's a lot more to this hilarious story that you can read about in Jordan Siller's article by going to the media.com and typing in barroom banter, the bear that almost caused world war three. You know how, like when you're riding around or hunting with the new hunter and they're like, okay, there's one, they're real excited about it.

And then it's not, it's a rock or a stump or something. My response is always like, hey, just proves that you're looking. I wonder if the military had the same response. I doubt that this guy got any credit for firing his pistol at a black bear. Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update. Let's see, we got two players still in it, and I think we can guess which two. Brody is in first place with a strong

seven points, and on his tail with five points is Cal, so Cal's got to make a strong showing here. So he has five? Cal has five, Brody has seven. So we need Brody to get these last two wrong, and Cal to get them right to go into an overtime. Let's go for overtime again.

Question nine. The topic is woodsmanship. There are five states that have more than 70% forest cover. Name one of them. Again, there are five states that have more than 70% forest cover. Name one of them. On a previous episode, we asked for the least forested states. This time, we're looking for the most forested states.

A quick answer from Giannis. Is it because you don't have the pressure of competing for the win? No, I feel like this is child's play. You just know it. Yeah. Would you call it a softball? Not a softball, but... A softball that

King Jung-il hit 700 feet. Longest home run in the world. Name one, you said, right? Name one. Does he own many world records? I think he's dead, but I'm sure in North Korea he owns them all, probably. I'm sure his son has a few now, right?

When you say forested states, do you mean like trees or do you mean like unmolested land? Whatever the USGS considers the most forested states. If you were in that dictator position, I'd like you for doing that. If I knew it was kind of like an inside joke, I was like, eh, this is kind of funny. But if you were serious about it, I wouldn't like you. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying Maine, Hayden saying Arkansas, Brody saying Maine, Alyssa saying Alaska, Crin saying Vermont, Cal saying Maine, Corey saying Michigan, and Giannis saying Washington. The correct answers are Maine, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Vermont, and Alabama. Oh, cool. So the room did well, too well, in that we now have our winner with one question to go, and that is Brody Henderson. You know what Steve's going to say. What's that?

I wasn't there. Yeah. But you have a strong going here. I think you've gotten all but one right going into the final question, right? That's correct. I don't know. So this one's just for funsies and to help everyone's average. Question 10.

The topic is hunting. What is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water hen in French? What is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water hen in French? So is it a French word? It's a French word. Okay. But the Cajun use it. I don't think over in France they're saying this.

What is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water hen in French? And if you want to know more about coot, you can watch us eat one in episode one of Hard on Our Place. That's right. Brody, you going to go 90% here? Yeah, maybe. I think so. If I'm close enough on the spelling that you like. Yeah, the spelling's a real mess here.

Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying the old hot lips. Hayden without an answer saying. No, I got one. What does that say? Poulet de terre. Brody saying,

Puldo. Alyssa without an answer. Corinne saying, what does that say, Corinne? Cal saying, Puldo. You're saying that song? Corey without an answer.

And Giannis without an answer. The correct answer is Puldo. Is that how you spell it? Close. It is P-O-U-L-D-E-A-U. So you're close enough.

Ballpark. Yeah, yeah. You're in America. Brody goes nine for ten. Takes another victory. We just had to give him a hard time about going to overtime. Well done, Brody. Thank you.

Thank you. How do you think Steve would have done in this game? You think he'd have gotten nine? Oh, he'd have been in there, Brody. Thank you, thank you. How do you think Steve would have done in this game? You think he'd have gotten nine? Oh, he'd have been in there, I think. Yeah. Yeah, but he's not here. Nine is impressive, though. And it would have taken twice as long.

Brody, who are you going to give your $500 to? I'm going to go to the back of that board, and I'll make a decision. I wasn't really thinking about it. Now, Brody is referencing the back of our massive meat eater trophy, which has 25 conservation organizations on it that you can choose from. Again, thank you, Ed Newman, for creating this masterpiece of a trophy.

So, Brody, who's it going to be? What category are you looking at? Are you looking like public lands, fishing, ungulates, birds? I'm not aligned with anything specifically. Oh, he's not even? I'm just looking at all the cool logos. Let's do the Western Bear Foundation. The Western Bear Foundation?

I think that's a second donation. I can change it if we want to edit this. No, I know. But give Cal a reason why. Because I like bears. There you go. Good enough for me. Does that satisfy you, Cal?

Well, it's kind of like throwing your money at Whitetail, you know? It's like they're doing just fine. Yeah, remember all that private land conservation we were talking about? I should change this. No, no, no. The Western Bear Foundation is not throwing money at white tails or bears. It's throwing money at

the right to hunt bears, I believe, more so. Yeah. Which I think, out of everything that we hunt, maybe it might be the thing that is most threatened. Do we need to, like like redo this at all? No, no, this is great. I'm also convinced they're never going to get another donation unless Clay Newcomb wins.

People don't like bear hunting, Cal. Good on you, Brody, for picking the Western Bear Foundation. You satisfied, Cal? Sure. I don't know. I just don't think we should be arguing about who... And that's the exciting end to Meteor Trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
