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 a bunch of special guests. Please go around the room and introduce yourselves.

I'm Brian. I am Corinne's boyfriend. I'm from Buffalo, New York, and go Bills! I'm Katie Finch. I'm not Katie Rinella, much to my husband's chagrin. This is Jennifer Jones. I am Giannis Boutelis' wife, and yeah, glad to be here. I'm Adrienne Taylor. I am Phil's wife. Kelsey Morris, currently widowed by Seth Morris on a hunting trip. I'm Carrie Henderson. I'm Brody Henderson's wife and glad to be here. So does that mean immediately we're all scared that you're going to kick our ass?

I married him because he retains the facts. I just have the fun. And I'm Shelby Huber, Spencer's wife. And I also just make Spencer Google everything for me. That's right. This is a very special episode of Meat Eater Trivia that will be played with the significant others of the Meat Eater crew. Now, for almost all of you here, this will be your first time playing Meat Eater Trivia. So how do you guys feel about your odds of winning?

How do you think you're going to perform? Terribly. Such confidence. I know nothing. How do you guys feel about your odds of winning? How do you think you're going to perform? Terribly. Such confidence. I know nothing. I lost. I was on this once, and I lost last time, so I'm here for some redemption. Based on the fact that I was Googling basic U.S. geography right before I walked into this room,

I'm not feeling super confident. Yeah, I was hunting yesterday, so I did not prepare at all. I mean, that could be preparation in itself. That sounds not too bad. It was, we prepared, and then Corinne rolled her ankle, so then I had to kind of baby that the rest of the day. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show

with questions from Meat Eaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there's a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now, the last time we heard from most of you was in episode 367 of the Meat Eater podcast, where we talked about how to be a good spouse during hunting season. So I want to know if anything has changed yet. Can we get an update from everyone?

Like Katie, has Steve extended his chill period when he gets home? Jennifer, did Giannis freeze some meals for you and the girls before he left from Latvia? Carrie, has Brody better managed his gear explosion in the house? Has anything changed? Nothing. I actually have

I would like a redo of the spouses episode because I feel like I might have been a little too generous. We talked about Steve talked about the pissing on the post thing. And Seth immediately proceeded to come home and do that like aggressively. So what's an example? Oh, just here's my thing. And we had to talk about this. The new role is that I need 24 hours before any critiques are offered of the house, me, anything that was done while he was gone.

Because it's like, you know, I prepare for him to come back, clean the house, make a nice meal, and anything that is off is immediately noticed. So that's my new role. No pissing on the post. Give me 24 hours before. 24 hours is way fair. But after that, if he does that. Yeah. You're going to be so annoyed after 24 hours.

Right. Right. How about just like shut up? Indefinite. Keep it to yourself. So, Katie, I take it Steve's chill up period is still one hour from arrival. It's like it's usually, you know, he usually gets home at night. I said this on the podcast.

And then he will start sort of like sniffing around the next morning. Like, oh, it's not, you know. Yeah. What's off? He hasn't, in fairness, he's coming home today. So we'll see. I'll time it. I'll start like an hour time.

We can compare. Yeah, exactly. And Jennifer, did Giannis prepare any meals for you and the girls before he left for Latvia? You know, he did braise some turkey. But, you know, that's kind of a common thing for him. He has been calling a lot this trip. And I think, you know, maybe we made it sound like we were just kind of like, yeah, you know, we'll see you in a couple of weeks. And we usually do that.

He is in Latvia. He's pretty excited about being in Latvia. So he's been calling to talk to the girls quite a bit, which has been fun. And do you think that'll happen on the next trip as well? No. Or is this like, okay. I don't know. Now that you said you don't care if he calls, maybe that's the thing to get him to call.

Some reverse psychology there. So, yeah, I need to flip that because, you know, he called it, you know, right when we got up in the morning this morning. care if he calls. Maybe that's the thing to get him to call. Some reverse psychology there. So yeah, I need to flip that because, you know, he called it, you know, right when we got up in the morning this morning. I'm like, yeah, so we're trying to get off to school. Love you. Now, Brian, Adrian, we didn't get a chance to hear from you on that episode. So here's your chance to let your partner know how they can improve. Adrian, is there anything Phil could do better when he's spending all this time performing The Sound of Music and A Christmas Carol? Are you doing A Christmas Carol?

We never... Yeah, I am. We can hash this out right now. Let's do some counseling. I mean, I know I should roast him right now, but I wasn't prepared. Nothing's coming to mind. That's great.

That's great. Maybe Phil could do a better job of letting you know when he's going to mind. That's great. Maybe Phil could do a better job of letting you know when he's going to be in the Christmas care. I mean, yeah, just your schedule in general would be great to know. There we go. And Brian, is there somewhere Corinne could improve when

she's gallivanting around the country recording episodes of the Meat Eater podcast? You know, it's kind of a little too early to tell. But she hunts with me, so that's good. I have a little? You know, it's kind of a little too early to tell. Okay. But she hunts with me, so that's good. I have a little hunting partner now, and it's perfect. So we had a good time yesterday and had to kind of bring the truck around for a little bit.

She might get mad that I'm saying this. It was hot. We were both dehydrated. So I said, just hang out here. Her ankle was rolled. I got the truck. Aw. That's good.

Very good. Now, do you think any of you will assume the role of your significant others when we play trivia? Like, Katie and Carrie, are you guys going to feud like Steve and Brody does, you think? No. I mean, Steve, listening to Steve on trivia, like, if I do sound like that, someone just kicks me. Does that sound familiar when you hear Steve on trivia? Like, oh, that's a version of him I know. Oh, yeah.

I mean, yes, that is a very familiar version. I think in terms of the way I plan to play, as I already said, I don't possess a lot of inherent knowledge or facts on many things. I can do a lot of things well. Retaining basic factual information about nature is not one of them. So we'll see how this goes. But I'm also very competitive. So we'll see how those two things mesh.

Yeah, Katie and I feud all the time. That's really our pastime anyway. We're used to it. Yeah, and Jennifer, if you're going to assume the role of Giannis, then you just need to be overly complimentary to everybody. that's what Gianni would do if he was here. I'm not prepared for that, but I will try. I'm just hoping for at least one question about plants, native plants in the Western U.S. because that's that's all I got. Here's the thing. I think everybody will do very well on this episode. It's not that the questions are easier, but I went to the edge of the Meat Eater universe while still maintaining the integrity of the

game to create these questions. So I think everyone has a good chance to perform well here. Also, I'm playing as well. I don't think you announced that. That's right. Is there a reason you asked me to play, Spencer? So here's what's going to happen. The added wrinkle is my wife, Shelby, is going to host.

I didn't feel like it'd be fair for her to play against you guys because she's exposed to so many of the same things that I am. We'll be driving down the road and I'll hand her my phone. I'll be like, hey, write this down in my notes app about alligator brains. Or we'll be watching like something we all do. That's right. We'll be like watching the Planet Earth documentary and they'll say something about bison there. And then like she's just exposed to the same thing.

So I'd have felt bad if she would have came in here and cleaned up. So Shelby is going to host. I'm going to keep score. And then we're going to let Phil play as well. So we can do bad together. There you go. Bonding. Yeah.

Couples building exercise. I think Spencer was being both too generous and not generous enough. First of all, I would have cleaned up anyway. Like, mm. Dominated. Just kidding. But also, I give him a ton of question ideas. I do.

She does. He doesn't like to admit it. I have a lot of TikToks and Instagram DMs from her things she thinks would be relevant for the show. Yes. And she does a good job of it. Now, do you guys, are you invested in how your partner does in trivia at home?

Like, do you notice a mood change when they do well or anything? No, I put so much pressure on Seth. Really? I'm like,

you get your ass in there. And when? Training. He's got like a towel around his neck. He's sweaty. He's just like low pressure on himself.

I'm the one that's like, come on, what was that performance? That's good. Is it like a topic of conversation around the dinner table for everyone else? Like, oh, we played trivia today and only got four right. Anything like that happen?

Not in our house, but I do know that Steve has a tendency to argue when he doesn't get answers. Yes. Right? So sometimes we talk about the legitimacy of the arguments he's making, a lot of which I don't agree with just for the record. Brody's pretty low keykey about it at home. He's a very humble guy. And with that, we are on to Meat Eater Trivia. Take it away, Shelby, and play the drop, Phil.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just stand to win everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Do you know my daughter will just play that for friends? Really? Yeah, yeah.

Friends come over and she's like, you want to hear something? And what is her, like, why does she like it so much? Oh, she's just so proud. Yeah. It's pretty cool. She should be. That's adorable.

And do the friends, like, do they give her the attention that she wants? They think it's awesome. That's great. Yeah. All right. Question one. The topic is conservation. Are we ready?

Oh, we're looking hesitant. Oh, boy. Born for this. My heart's racing. All right. Well, we're jumping in. What 1992 hurricane destroyed an exotic animal facility that caused pythons to be released into the Everglades?

Oh, boy. Before I was born. Oh, and it's multiple choice. It's like this is my first time or something. The choices are Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Gordon, Thelma, or Mitch. What 1992 hurricane destroyed an exotic animal facility that caused pythons to be released into the Everglades. Andrew, Gordon, Thelma, or Mitch? How old was everyone in 1992?

Not alive. Negative two. Oh my God. That was two. Okay, forget I asked. You're going to make us answer that? Please don't. Shelby was negative a couple years old.

I was born that year. Oh, my God. That changes everything. Luckily, I don't have to answer it. But how are we doing? Everyone got an answer? Yeah? All right.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Brian with Andrew, Katie, Andrew, Jennifer, Andrew, Andrew. Oh, my God. Andrew, Thelma from Kelsey, and Andrew from Carrie. Come on, Thelma. The room got it. It's Andrew. You weren't alive yet, Kelsey.

Yeah, you can pass. Yeah, you can pass on that one. Also, I was kind of hoping that it would be Mitch because that was so random. Right. Pythons had been present in the Everglades since the 80s, but it's said that populations boomed after Hurricane Andrew released more of them. Andrew is one of only four tropical cyclones to make landfall in America as a Category 5 storm. The hurricane caused over $27 billion in damage and killed 65 people.

So, Andrew. Tough. Question two. the topic is cooking this is something i know a ton of what meaty sandwich gets its name from the greek word for turning oh we got some confident answers, some stumped people. Oh, say it again. Not multiple choice. Okay, all right. Not multiple choice this time. What meaty sandwich gets its name from the Greek word for turning?

Can you say meaty sandwich one more time? Meaty sandwich. Jen, are you staring at my, you're cheating off of me. I'm about to get real competitive. No, you're not. Is anybody familiar with multiple kinds of Greek sandwiches? Absolutely not. No, there's one.

And I'm hoping it's the answer. We don't like hints in this room. And this isn't a hint. You'd be surprised. I'm just curious. What we consider a hint in here. Everyone got one? All right, go ahead and reveal.

Oh, we got the room saying Euro. Everyone's got it right. It is a Euro. Is it Euro or gyro? You know, I think Americans say gyro. Yeah, that's how I grew up. Gyro. I think it's Euro.

Yeah. Yeah, you grew up in New York, Katie. Michigan, actually. Oh, sure, but you lived in New York. Katie. Michigan, actually. Oh, sure, but you lived in New York. But lived in New York. Sure, okay. So, gyros were invented in Greece, but were inspired by doner kebabs from the Middle East. And the food became popular in America after Greek gyro shops started opening in New York City in the 70s.

If you want to learn how to make the tzatziki sauce that goes on a gyro, then go to TheMeatEater.com and check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe for Greek venison meatballs. Did you have a favorite gyro shop? Did you stop at those food vendors? We had a really nice Greek restaurant that did take out next to our house. Oh, convenience. Yeah, it was very convenient. In the 70s. That sounds amazing.

In the 70s. When I lived there in the 60s. Years away from Hurricane Andrew. On to question three. The topic is gear. What rapper was sued by Realtree in 2018 for printing their camo pattern on his Yeezy clothing line? Oh, my gosh. That is...

Talk about someone in the news. We've got some confident answers here. What rapper was sued by Realtree in 2018 for printing their camo pattern on his Yeezy clothing line? Everyone got one? Too modern for me. Which is not for the 1900s. I don't know. I want to give a hint so bad.

I have a lot to say about this after we reveal. Okay, let's reveal then. Let's get it going. I'm curious. I'm guessing. Oh my gosh. Kanye. Kanye.

Kanye. Kanye. Kanye. Carrie says Jay-Z. That's so funny. The room got it. It is Kanye West. Okay, have you seen the latest trash bag thing?

The Balenciaga mud show? You probably know more about this than I do. I don't know if it was him. I remember some headline associating him with this, but he came out with a designer trash bag that you would carry all your stuff around.

It was a black trash bag. Of course, and it was probably like $3,000. Something ridiculous. I want to bring up the probably like $3,000 or something ridiculous. I want to bring up the fact that he just changed his name though. What is it? To Ye. Legally? Yes.

Oh my goodness. So I feel, I don't know, am I going to go all Alexander Supertramp on this room? Because I could. I could. All right. Yeah, it was Kanye West.

Realtree alleges that Yeezy reached out to them in 2016 regarding the use of their camo pattern. Yeezy was told they needed to fill out a licensing application, but never did. Instead, they printed three of Realtree's patterns on thigh-high boots, sweatpants, and hoodies without permission. LeBron James also named in the lawsuit for doing the same thing with his online boutique. I didn't even know he had an online boutique. Seth would Seth would love for me to get some of those real tree thigh boots. There you go. Be styling. Really up in the mountains looking fly. I love it. All right. Question four. The topic is conservation. What kind of animal was the star of Zabuma Fu,

a children's series about wildlife that aired on PBS in the late 90s and early 2000s? Oh, here we go again. The age advantage. I actually have no idea what this is. I have neither. I can picture that freaking thing in my head. I faintly remember this. Blanking on the name.

What was the show called? Zaboomafoo. We're looking for the animal that starred in Zabuma Fu. Just like the species or whatever? What are you looking for? Do you want its name? Oh, you know its name even? Man, Adrian is coming in hot with Zabuma Fu.

No, we just need the kind of animal Zabuma Fu was. What kind of animal was the star of Zabuma Fu, a children's series about wildlife that aired on PBS in the late 90s and early 2000s? Wow, what a throwback. Everyone got an answer?

Oh, we're still writing a little bit. Okay, reveal them! We've got Brian with monkey, Katie with koala, Jen with baboon, Phil's... That says colobus. I was writing it's quickly changing that says colobus I was writing it really quickly colobus

not a colobus well it's very similar Adrian's got lemur Kelsey's got lemur and Carrie's got gnu I don't know what that is yeah gnu

gnu you know like Gary Gnu from the yeah okay it's an animal it's a thing okay I'll look it up I'll look it up

it is a lemur a ringtail lem, to be specific. Zabubufu, which won two Emmy Awards in 2001, lasted 65 episodes and was broadcast in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Zabubufu's real name was actually Jovian, and he died in his home in North Carolina in 2014 at the age of 20. I didn't know they lived to be 20. Right? That's crazy. Wait, so this was live?

This wasn't a cartoon? Correct. Yeah, they had like, I don't know if they were zoologists or biologists or if they were just hosts, but there were two men. They still have a show on PBS. They have a new one. Yeah, it's animated now. Our kids watch it.

Oh, the Wild Kratts. Wild Kratts, yeah. Oh, okay. Steve has complained about the Wild Kratts on this program before my kids loved wild kratts but yeah they they always have like the evil guys always like the hunter yeah so but in zubumafu it was a totally different format and yeah they had like a real live lemur there was also a puppet version of it wouldn't it yeah yeah cute yep but it was more i don't know realistic and like factual and whatever and now it's like an adventure cartoon huh it's really changed they've ruined zabuma food on the show oh cute i once fed a lemur a

bunch of cheerios and grapes and they have the softest little hands, and they're a little creepy, but they're so cute. Oh, I kind of want one. I do like it. Alright, question five. The topic is hunting. Uh-oh. Alright. Time for the expertise to shine. Alright.

This is loosely hunting, so sorry, Brian. But the hunter's moon always lands in one of two months. Name one of those months. What? The hunter's moon always lands in one of two months. Name one of those months. How are we feeling?

Everyone got an answer? I wrote down a month. Just a wild guess. All right. Reveal your answers. One in 12 chance. We've got Brian with November, Katie October, Jen September, Phil November, Adrian November, Kelsey October, and Carrie October.

The answers are October and November. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense for the Hunter's Moon. The Hunter's Moon is always the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. And since the Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest the autumn equinox, then the Harvest Moon can either be in September or October.

And this puts the Hunter's Moon in October or November. This year's Hunter's Moon is actually on the 9th of October. So it's coming up. What does it look like? A full moon? I don't know. Every full moon has a different name, and that's just what that full moon is called. Oh, okay.

It's a camo pattern, specifically real trees. It's real trees. Perfect. It's just a big picture of Kanye West's face. Wearing thigh-high real tree boots. And a trash bag. All right. Now that that's

after question five, we need a scoreboard update from Spencer. Everybody's on the board and everybody is doing well. We have Carrie and Jennifer

with three points. Then we have Katie, Kelsey, and Phil with four points and Brian with four points. And pitching a perfect game

is Adrian, who declared she was not going to do well. Here we go. Has five correct answers. Wow. Killing it. That's great. I mean, this is not what I was expecting.

Katie, take her down. I know. Look at my sight zero game. Still got half the game left, all right? Phil, keeping score is much harder than you let on. There's a lot going on over here. I don't really like it. Yeah.

I'm going to let you keep this job from now on. Thank you. Do I get a pay raise? Is anyone in the room? No? No. 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.

We see a lot of thinking faces, particularly from Jennifer and Phil. They're like staring at the ceiling over there, lips pursed. Now, do the zoos in the States count? No. I would say no. Spencer wrote these questions. He is the voice of authority. No, zoos don't count.

It's just the continents that have wild penguins living on them. Man, I've never thought about this. I love happy feet, so I feel pretty confident on this one. All right, does everybody have an answer? Got a guess. All right, Does everybody have an answer? Got to guess. All right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brian with one, Katie with three, Jennifer with three, Phil with three, Adrian with two, Kelsey with four, and Carrie with three.

The answer is four. Yeah. Oh, Kelsey. I'm making a comeback. There you go. The streak has ended. Penguins are found on every continent in the Southern Hemisphere, which puts them in Antarctica, South America, Africa, and Australia. The Galapagos Island penguins are the rarest penguins in the world and are the only ones that live north of the equator. So, four continents.

All right. Making a comeback. I saw Africa there. That's surprising to me. I didn't know that one either. But now we right. Making a comeback. I was surprised by Africa there. That's surprising to me. I didn't know that one either. But now we know. Now we do. Question seven. The topic is predators.

And this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Justin Stoll. I'm sorry, Justin, that you don't get Spencer's nice, deep voice announcing you. But you are still getting a signed copy of the Complete Guide for Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. Now, name two

of the top five states with the most mountain lions. Ooh. Two of the top five states with the most mountain lions pretty confident room here i think everyone's writing oh never mind phil is not confident shaking his head yep did you also forget the name of all of the states because i did just drawing a blank. Everyone got an answer?

All right. Let's go ahead and reveal those answers. We've got Brian with Nevada and Arizona. Katie with California and Nevada. Jennifer, California and Idaho. Phil, Washington and Idaho. Adrian, Montana and Colorado. Kelsey says California and Montana.

Carrie says Colorado and California. I think we got some right answers. The top five are Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Montana. Very upset about that. So we got Adrian and Kelsey and

Brian and Carrie. They all got it right. Did I miss anybody? No? Alright. That was pretty good. I feel like Adrian came in. She's like, oh, I'm not all got it right. Did I miss anybody? No? All right. That was pretty good. I feel like Adrienne came in. She's like, oh, I'm not going to get anything right. I've had a lot of lucky guesses. Let me tell you. It's estimated that there are 6,000 mountain lions in Oregon.

That's followed by California and Colorado with 5,000, New Mexico with 3,500, and Montana with 3,000. Just missing the top five are Arizona, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. So you were close there. Close. Question eight. The topic is public lands. What character created by the Forest Service in 1970 used the catchphrase, give a hoot, don't pollute?

Oh, wait, we have to know his name? We have to know his name. We have to know his name. We're looking for the character's name. He's created. I know, but it would be such a softball. Oh, man. He was created by the Forest Service in 1970. And use the catchphrase, give a hoot, don't pollute.

This is before my time. Give me more PBS Kids questions. We need Brody here. Yeah. The old boomer. Yeah. You'd remember that little fact, that strange factoid. I love it that the back of my board says, suck it, Brody.

I know. I'm going to write suck it, Katie on the back. Who do you think wrote that, Katie? Oh, I don't recognize that handwriting at all. It doesn't look like Steve's handwriting at all. Oh, man. This is making me so mad. I didn't even know he had a name.

Is he still around? I think he is, yes. I've seen the signs. I can visualize him in my head. I just don't know he had a name. Is he still around? I've seen the signs. I can visualize him in my head. I just don't know what his name is. Never bothered to ask. I guess that's a whole franchise opportunity. Someone could really take that.

Everyone got an answer? Sure. Not a good one. All right. Let's go ahead and see them. Got Brian, Mr. Owl, Oscar Owl, Plucky the Owl, Wally, Ollie the Owl, Owl, Ollie the Owl. Nobody got it, but you guys were all on the same line of thinking. His name is Woodsy Owl.

Woodsy. That's not even a name. Yeah, that's dumb. Give me a break. That's a stupid name. Wasn't it an owl and a Tootsie Roll? Yeah. That's Mr. Owl.

Totally different guy. Totally different guy. But related, I think. How many clicks does it take? Woodsy was originally used as a mascot that promoted the four R's, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. But the Forest Service later decided they wanted him to champion a broader conservation message, which is why they changed his motto from give a hoot, don't pollute, to lend a hand, care for the land. And that is question eight. So we're back to Spencer with a scoreboard update.

Jennifer, who is out of the running for first place, has three correct answers. Everyone else is still in the game, though. We have Phil, Katie, and Carrie with four points. Thank you for pointing that out. You're the bad guy now. I don't like how this feels. None of this is very fun, Phil. Carrie, Katie, and Phil with four points.

Brian and Kelsey with five points. And Adrian still in the lead with six correct answers. Two questions left. A lot of pressure. Yeah, it's pretty tight. Yeah, I'm... You're done for, Jen. I'm so excited. What am I supposed to do as Giannis' place here? I'm supposed to tell people they're doing well? Yeah, compliment. Your hair looks nice.

There you go. Compliment the questions. Compliment everyone's answers. Compliment Phil on his sound effects. This is what Gianni would be doing. Okay, okay. I. Compliment Phil on his sound effects. This is what Yanni would be doing. Okay. Okay. I'll try to work on that to redeem myself. Actually, if it was Yanni, he'd be complaining that my sound effects are too long and we need to get things going.

That's one way. Okay. One way he doesn't compliment. I can complain. All right. Question nine. Topic is cooking. What sweet pastry is often paired with chili in rural parts of the West and Midwest?

What sweet pastry is often paired with chili in rural parts of the West and Midwest? Is this a thing that you guys do? Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. So I know the answer to this, but I've never tried it. learned this recently i mean who would complain no one exactly i feel like i need to try it it's a great excuse yeah it's a great excuse to just say it was even served at our kids school for lunch recently that's how we actually were introduced to it yeah i've heard that it's a montana school

thing i'm from the midwest never heard of this until I lived in Montana. Huh. Really? Yeah. Did you have this in Michigan? I don't think. I don't know. We just,

I feel like we ate so many things with sugar on them that's hard to really. What is the answer? Well, let's reveal it. Right. Let's see.

All right. Because we know it should be cornbread. Oh, wait. Corn spreaders. Katie, cinnamon rolls. Jennifer says cornbread. It should be cornbread. Oh, wait. Corn spritters. Katie, cinnamon rolls. Jennifer says cornbread. It should be cornbread.

You're right there. Cinnamon rolls from Phil, Adrian, Kelsey, and Carrie. The answer is cinnamon rolls. And it may be weird because it's delicious. With chili? Supposedly you did it in the chili. One could be bad about it. Think about it.

I don't need an excuse. Cinnamon is supposed to be cornbread. I do. You sound heartbroken. Well, in the South, okay. You can take it up with school lunch programs because this pairing originated with school lunch programs in the 60s. Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, Idaho, and Washington all claim to be the first states to serve cinnamon rolls with chili

but this unlikely duo is still popular today from cafes in Minnesota that serve them together to school lunches in South Dakota and obviously Montana too

I call BS on the Minnesota piece oh right you could do like a cinnamon roll chili bowl that would be pretty good

heaven giant cinnamon roll I'd be into that take the center out yeah like a bread bowl would that work but the center of the cinnamon roll is bowl. That would be pretty good. Heaven? Giant cinnamon roll. I'd be into that. Take the center out. Yeah, like a bread bowl? Would that work? But the center of the cinnamon roll is the best part.

Well, you'd eat that separately. There you go. Or you make a bowl with a bunch of little mini ones. Ooh, I like it on top. Yeah, there you go. It's a lot of work. Maybe broil it for a minute

and give it a nice little crust. Okay. Ooh, I'm into that. I'm into that. Looking back at Spencer for the final scoreboard update. We are down to two players left competing for first place. Makes me mad.

Kelsey has six points and Adrian has seven points. We have the last question coming up. We need Adrian to get it wrong and Kelsey to get it right to go to overtime. All right. I'd be pumped. I'm sweating. This right. All right. I'd be pumped. I'm sweating. This is like so much pressure. I'm excited to use up

one of Spencer's tiebreaker questions. So, sorry, Adrian. Okay. I'm rooting for Kelsey on this one. So, totally fair. Tiebreakers are always fun. We can do one regardless. Sure.

Well, I don't know. Spencer's pretty tight on his tiebreaker. Last episode, I turned down the CEO on doing a tiebreaker just for funsies but I would do it

for this room if you guys want a tiebreaker we'll do a tiebreaker so generous so generous alright question 10 here's the heat

Adrian and Kelsey the topic is gear oh god you got this well don't be so sure here we go I don't know what zodiac sign oh jeez speech Steve would be so sure. Here we go. I don't know. What zodiac sign?

Oh, jeez. Steve would be so mad right now. I know you're going with this. All right. What zodiac sign features archery equipment? We're looking for the zodiac sign. I just want to point out that last for that podcast we did, the Wives of Meteor podcast, you came in hot with some Zodiac facts and Steve was literally like, get out of here with that.

I hate Zodiac stuff. I don't know how to spell this. That's okay. No. Oh, okay. That's my hint. That's my best. Oh, geez.

I'm not. I'm not. Got shifting, blocking. got shifting blocking there's a lot of a lot of tension over here will you accept abbreviations because i also don't know i would i would say yes spencer give us a nod spelling has never has never dinged anyone before i would say yes we going to give it to you since it's so close. Okay. How are we doing? All right. I'm not super confident. Oh, wait. We might have some last minute changes?

No, I don't think so. The bell is dinged. Just go for it. Okay, reveal your answers. I'm in too deep. I can't change it now. Oh, Brian says Aries. I don't.

Katie with nothing. Jennifer with Aries. Phil with Sagittarius. Adrian with Sagittarius. Kelsey with Sagittarius. Carrie with Sagittarius. Adrienne with Sagittarius. Kelsey with Sagittarius. Carrie with Sagittarius. The answer is Sagittarius. Adrienne.

There it is. I think Steve would be proud that I didn't even answer it. Right. There you go. Didn't even give it an answer. Deny that question. Sagittarius is the ninth sign

of the zodiac and runs from November 22nd to December 21st. It is represented by either a centaur shooting a bow and arrow or by an arrow drawn across a bow. So we don't have a ton of zodiac friendly people in the room, but do we have a Sagittarius? Steve is a Sagittarius. It's one of my other ones. Oh. Does he know that?

He does know that, I think. Oh, no. Wait. Nope. Oh, does he know that? He does know that, I think. Oh, no, wait. Nope. I feel like I'm thinking about an ex-boyfriend, not him. That's all horrible. Thank you. Best part of the podcast.

As a writer, Sagittarius is November 22nd to December 21st. Oh, yes. That's not him. That was the guy from the restaurant. You guys really talked for a while. Yeah, Steve, like a February or March birthday? Way off. I thought he was going to be stuff.

I love it. Oh, my God. Yeah, he's definitely, he's February, so that's not. Nope. Adrian, well done. Yeah. You have eight points. The underdog.

So impressive, especially that you came in here defiant that you weren't going to perform very well. I'm also highly competitive. Good on you. Now, what happens next is you get to choose where Meat Eater's $500 conservation organization donation goes. The back of this board has, I think, 25 conservation organizations. Whatever's tugging at your heart for what you want to donate. So at this point, it really comes down to the marketing. Yeah.

Branding. Graphic design. Who has the best logo? What are you reading there? Honestly, they're all real good. Which one's you liking? Oh, I'm kind of liking Pheasants Forever. We've never donated to them.

Oh, let's do that then. That would be a good choice. Adrian picks Pheasants Forever. Adrian, how many pheasants have you shot or eaten in your life? Zero. Perfect. You're the perfect person for their organization then. That's a lot of conserving pheasants.

That's right. I did walk into our garage the other day taking a trash bag out. This is not the other day. This was months ago. Okay, well. However, it didn't happen. It was a day that is other. And I turn over and there's

just there's a dead sharp-tailed grouse just laying in the middle of our garage when then he calls me and he was like uh i think one of the cats like killed this grouse and dropped it in the garage and i was like oh that was me i hit it with my car it must have gotten stuck and then fell off the garage we're like it's scampering and it's starting to fly away. And you're like, it's gone. It's going. And then, bam, I smacked into it. And it got stuck in my grill and I had no idea.

You should have just been like, yeah, honey, it's dinner. Scared the shit out of me. I got this for you. Anyway, I know it's not a pheasant, but we see lots of grouse and pheasants on our little back country road. Did you eat it? We did not. Did the cats eat it? No. I don't think so. Steve will be having a word with not. Did the cats eat it? No.

I don't think so. Steve will be having a word with you. I know. So will Cal, trust me. I'm going to cut this part out. Now you have a genuine tie to Pheasants Forever. Good on you, Adrian. Do you guys want a tiebreaker?

We had quite a few of you who wound up with the same amount of points. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, we do. We have Carrie and Phil were tied with six. Brian and Katie tied with five. So those are the folks competing to see who can take our bronze medal. Alright. Ooh, I get to do the tiebreaker.

Brian, you're going down. The topic is conservation. Now, just as a reminder, our tiebreaker questions are numerical. The person who is closest to the correct answer is the winner. So, what year were bald eagles removed from the endangered species list? What year were bald eagles removed from the endangered species list?

I'm glad I don't have to play it anymore. I'm just not even sure because I did so poorly. Jen's just enjoying the ambiance. I am. I have a guess, but. How we feeling? Yeah. Brian's still got nothing.

Oh, man. Not good. Clock is ticking. Not bad, Brian. I feel really bad that you don't know this. Luckily, you just got to get close. Got to get close. Your confidence is scaring me a little bit.

How do you? I know. It's a big moment in your life, Katie. This is where I said, highly competitive, not allowed to back it up. I'm scared. I'm going to shoot in the dark. All right. We got something written.

Reveal your answers. Brian says 1989. Oh, look at that. What? Katie says 2005. Phil says 1976 1976 Adrian says 1985 Carrie says 1989 The answer is

2007 That's recent It was Katie you got it Bald eagles were removed from the list in 2007 That feels really good, guys. Good note to end it on. Well done.

Did you guys enjoy it? I enjoyed having you because I got to use questions that otherwise wouldn't fit in the game. Steve and Brody would throw a fit if there was a question that had the answer Kanye West or Sagittarius. So I need to have you guys on on an annual basis to like clear out some of these fun questions I have. Yeah, this is fun. Something we can do again. This was fun. Yeah.

No fishing questions today. I feel like I might have had a shot. Yeah, thank God for that. Carrie, it's kind of wild that you noticed that. I'm very surprised. I realized when I wrote the script, I didn't have any fishing questions. Like, oh, nobody's going to notice. Especially if they did notice, they wouldn't call me out.

Here we are. Call me out. That's it. Shelby, close us out and send us out the game of trivia. You got to hit us with a tagline.

It's in here at the very end. Bold letters. This is how every show ends. You would think I would know this. All right. Join us next time for more meaty deer trivia.

The only game show where conservation always wins. Woo! Good job, Shelby. Alright, join us next time for more meaty deer trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. Good job, Shelby. Shelby, you killed it. I kept clapping and snapping, so I'm really sorry, Phil. Oh, no, that's fine. Enthusiasm's good. Yeah, we
