Now what makes you feel confident That you're gonna win I mean Just hopeful Okay Optimistic Optimistic yeah But I would

I would love it so much It's like Every time I listen to trivia I just imagine coming on And beating Steve And then I would just forever Be able to say that Yeah

How do you T-shirt made How do you normally perform? I think middle of the road. Which would be like, what, like four or five, right, you think? You throw some fours and fives? I think probably. Both of you guys know, like, you just throw in a lot of

tidbits in real life. Like, you know a lot of random stuff that I'd be like, well-equipped for trivia. Yeah. How about Rick and Dirt? Yeah, I mean, Rick, I'm making it up, though, usually. Rick makes half the Dirk? Yeah, I mean, Rick... I'm making it up, though, usually. Yeah, Rick makes half the shit up.

Yeah, these are real answers. Somebody's fact-checking. Is nobody fact-checking you otherwise when you're throwing those things out there? No, Google, we don't have internet. You've got a confident delivery. Oh, Rick, you'll be glad to learn that on one of our episodes on Spotify,

one of our episodes recently had to get the truth about COVID, visit this website. We got a COVID warning because we were joking about how Doug Dern, we're talking about how they always got some kind of AI function

on COVID because we're talking about how my theory that Doug Dern is the one that caused the spread of COVID from humans to whitetails, and it got flagged with the truth about COVID. It's like, now everybody's going to think that Doug Dern gave whitetails COVID here. Whitetails COVID. Now, Steve, Yanni, Seth, you guys spend a lot of time with these boys in making a season of Meat Eater. Who do you think is going to perform well between them

you guys me who's going to do good i honestly think rick will do good yeah really yeah as much as i don't want to say that no we told that's not the dog on that's not the dog on their guys he's been in the wildlife business for for 20 some years but don't hunt, and I don't fish. Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, that's true. Dirt and ridge pounder do a little hunting and fishing. I think Chris Gill here will do good on all the fishing questions. Well, I don't know. Is it standard rod and reel, or are we getting fancy? Well, it depends.

We need a bookie in here, because I got money between me and Dirt as a Calcutta, and I'd also like to do, between you camera guys, I got money on Rick. Yeah, I've heard there's a side bet going on between the cameramen about who's going to perform the best, but it seems like I want in on that action. A lot of confidence in Rick. Some pressure. I think these guys are going to surprise us, though, because they've been in a lot of places. I know, but my memory's

not like it used to be. Only one way to find out, Spencer. That's right. Steve, I'm not going to betray any confidences here, but one of the greatest compliments I've received about Meat Eater Trivia is that one of your cameramen told me I do a good job of dealing with an honoree, Steven Rinella. That's great.

And it sounded as though they've maybe seen Steve Rinella honoree a lot. Which camera guy was that? I don't know. I don't remember. Well, I don't know. We just recapped a couple little disputes we've had really yeah but we don't even i don't even feel the need to you know sometimes we'll get in a dispute and i don't even revisit it do you ever think that they're being ornery oh yeah oh i've gotten hangry on shoots yeah oh yeah we were just caught we were

just talking about a thing that i said of them in general one time, which was in very poor taste. And you talked about the specifics of it? Oh, I'm going to listen to that. I like that. An insult I've sent their way. Wow. If I was a camera guy, that's not the insult. We forgot to mention that.

That's the running quote. That's all how I'd go about it if I was in their line of work. Now, each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat this week. We're looking at the average scores over time and comparing the first 15 episodes to the last 15 episodes. In the first 15 episodes, the average player score was 4.71. In the last 15 episodes, the average player score was 4.70. So the average player score has gone down by.01. I think that's statistically insignificant.

Oh, absolutely it's insignificant. No, you're just blaming on COVID. That's what they're doing. Oh, every state. I saw math scores went down in every state during the pandemic. Math and reading. And I think that my daughter's class,

like third graders really got their teeth kicked in on math. Because it's like a very important age or whatever. It's probably a testing year too. Like when they do that standardized stuff. Now Steve has increased his average score by.25

from 5.85 to 6.1. Brody has decreased his average score by.25 from 5.85 to 6.1. Brody has decreased his average score by .84 from 7.01 to 6.17. Well, that's like an age thing. I mean, Brody's like, I'm still coming into prime.

No, I'm like, honestly, I'm coming into prime trivia, and I think Brody's tipping into like, where they start getting confused about shit. Don't really know why they came into the room. Long COVID, I got COVID fog going on. They tell you something they just told you. That's all coming.

And Giannis... It's very soon. Giannis has also increased his average score by.27 from 5.43 to 5.7. When I tip over the edge that Brody just tipped over, Yanni is going to become the reigning champ. Oh, there's a wave going through this. Yeah, like senility is hitting Brody. Senility will hit me in two years.

Yanni will be like at the peak game. Seth's going to have a great future. Yeah. Long brown. 20 years. Oh, I to have a great future. Yeah. Long brown. 20 years. Oh, I don't know about that. Now for the average winning scores. The average winning score in the first 15 episodes was 6.9,

and the average winning score in the last 15 episodes is 7.36. So the average winning score has gone up by.46. Does that mean we're getting better or your questions are getting easier? I think the top performers are doing better is what it means. So the three of you that I just talked about, except for Brody who's gone down.87. Well, yeah.

That's like, that rounds up to one. I got a target on my back, man. And we have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, we had a question about what the cost of a federal duck stamp is in 2022. The correct answer was $25, but about a dozen listeners from around the country wrote in saying that they paid more than that. They weren't wrong, as many states often charge anywhere from $26 to $29 when you purchase a stamp through them. However, that additional fee is what the state is charging

for things like shipping, processing, and the ability to have an e-stamp. So the base price is $25 and that's what you'd be charged if you went to the post office. But if you buy one through a state's website, you'll likely be hit with extra fees. You've been new hearthed. I paid $28.50 today From Wisconsin You just bought yours Spencer likes little Spencer likes To be a little twist of the sword When it comes to like He likes stories write-ins

Where people write in A writer in would be like Hey you know Just politely pointing out Where you made a mistake and spencer will read it and then the listener is like oh spencer made a mistake and then spencer will circle around and he'll do like a yeah but not really he loves that kind of feedback next episode he seems like he's getting he's getting his cake and he's eating it too because he's oh how gracious

how gracious he is to point out where he missed. But in the end, there's always a little like, well, the more you think about it, I was actually right. Next episode, though, I will take a big loss. I have to issue a correction on top of a correction. So that's coming in the next show. Oh, and you don't have like a little thing about how you were actually right. No, no. Double wrong.

100% wrong. That one's going to hurt. Twice over. Now, the Shelby Index for this game of trivia is a five, indicating that our winner should pitch a perfect game, but I'm thinking the best score will be maybe more like eight. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Everything. How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is hunting, and as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these has the lowest population in canada is it caribou muskox elk or moose

which of these has the lowest population in canada your choices are caribou muskox elk or moose a quick answer from Steve. I haven't written anything down yet. Oh, I thought you went to write. Does anybody think they know this? Is it a trick question? Not going to tell you that. It feels like a trick question.

Yeah. It definitely feels like a trick. Okay. Yanni, how do you feel about this one? I'm feeling like I've narrowed it down to two. Looking for the lowest population in Canada, your choices are caribou, muskox, elk, and moose. Does everybody have an answer? No.

I just said. I don't know if I go with what I know it is or what I think it is. Exactly. Exactly. Yanni? I like the line of thinking, Steve. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying muskox.

Danny saying muskox. Rick saying muskox. Lauren, you can't just put the letter down. Everyone gets too confused. Lauren saying elk. Brody. No, no, he said muskox. Muskox, okay. The only one who didn't is... And I think Chris got it right. No, no, he said muskox. Muskox, okay.

The only one who didn't is... And I think Chris got it right. Yeah, I was thinking it could be elk. The only person who didn't say muskox is Chris, and he said elk. The correct answer is elk. Oh, man! I knew it!

I told you I knew it! I knew it was a trick question. These numbers are via the Canadian Wildlife Federation. There are approximately 2 million caribou in Canada. That's followed by 750,000 moose, 85,000 muskox, and 72,000 elk. Do they really have 85,000 muskox? And I think like 60,000 of those live on two islands, Banks and Victoria or something like that. There's only a 13,000 difference between elk and muskox.

That's a pretty tight number. When you're talking like 72,000, 85,000, it's probably like a 20% difference. When you're talking them all piled up in a big pile, that's a big difference. The only person who got it right is Chris with elk. Rich founder pulls out a head. Yes. Well done. You know what?

Savor it. Should we quit? I peaked. No, I peaked. That's it. That's it. Question two. This episode's only one question.

Okay, that was great, boys. Question two. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Rebecca Champion. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia,

you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What is the organ called that fish use to control their buoyancy? What is the organ called that fish use to control their buoyancy? Pretty quick answers from the non-cameramen. A few of the camer men doing some thinking. Oh, I know I'm right on this one. You got this one? Uh-huh.

Going to go 2-0 right off the bat. That's a sweet whitetail hat, Seth. Just comes right out and says it. Whitetail. There's no debate on that. There's no debate. No wonder he's into it. Does everybody have an answer?

Just gets it right out of the open. Well, it does clarify. White tail. It's not just any white tail. It's a big old buck. It's a big old white tail. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying swim bladder. Danny saying bubble. Rick, I can't see your board. Rick saying bladder. Lauren saying gills. Brody saying air bladder. Seth saying swim bladder. Chris saying float sack. Rick saying bladder. Lauren saying gills. Brody saying air bladder. Seth saying swim bladder. Chris saying float sack.

Karen saying air sack. And Giannis saying swim bladder. The correct answer is swim bladder. Damn. How about the people who said just bladder or air bladder? Air bladder, no. Really? Well, it's not my call. We'd call Doug and ask him.

I really don't know which direction to go on that. You know, go with your heart. I would say no. But it's the same. I mean, it's kind of the same thing as float sack. It's like, come on. Float sack. Nearly every fish has a swim bladder.

Some of the only ones that don't are cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays. To help compensate for their tendency to sink, sharks have oil in their liver that's less dense than seawater. Without it, they would be bottom dwellers. Oh, I didn't know that that's what that's all about. That's what they got going on there because they don't have a swim bladder. You know what I'd like to dig into someday is why some fish can't regulate that swim bladder quickly while other fish can regulate that swim bladder quickly meaning the difference between fish that suffer from barrel trauma when you reel them in yeah like a halibut you can horse a halibut in and it does he's like

able to stay in tune with the depth changes so you're not constantly seeing that at the fish shack in alaska like Alaska? Certain species are they don't move, they don't change what do you call it? They don't change depth. They can't change depth quickly and certain fish can and I wonder what if it's always linked

to behavior. It'd be interesting to know if the behavior is dictated by right, this is like chicken or the egg is the behavior is dictated by, right? This is like chicken or the egg. Is the behavior dictated by their inability to change quick or they don't need an ability to change quick because they have a certain kind of groove or they just stay glued to the bottom?

It would be interesting to see what happened if you reeled a rockfish in super slow. I'm sure you'd be fine, right? If you just milked it. Yeah. Question three, the topic and super slow. I'm sure you'd be fine. Right. If you just milked it. Yeah. Question three, the topic is public lands. This famous photographer who received the presidential medal of freedom in 1980 is best known for his black and white images of national parks. Throwing us a bone. Thanks. Oh, this is the bone. Well, this was a hard group to write a bone for, but I think this is it. We'll see how they do.

This famous photographer who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980 is best known for his black and white images of national parks. Or name a famous photographer. The one that everybody knows. Did all the camera folks know this one? You guys got this? Oh, yeah. This might be my one point for the whole trivia.

Think so? Does everybody have an answer? Yes. What a... Go ahead and reveal your answers. Every single person says Ansel Adams, and they got it right. Adams received that Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work in the national park system. He was also a key advisor in establishing the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Ansel has a wilderness area in the Sierra Nevadas and a mountain in Yosemite National Park that are named after him. I knew it wasn't going to be Robert Mapplethorpe. Nope, that'd be a distinctly non-wildlife related choice. Question four. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Kellen Knox. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Name two of the three crops that Native American cultures refer to as the

three sisters. Name two of the three crops that Native American cultures refer to as the three sisters? Name two of the three crops that Native American cultures refer to as the three sisters. Some quick answers. I don't know if... If I put them all down, it doesn't do me any good.

No, no, no. I don't know if folks are just making an educated guess or if they know this. Looks like some confidence in the room, though. Steve, you know this? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. No problem.. Steve, you know this? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No problem. Bro, do you know this? No. I mean, like, maybe. Looking for two of the three crops that are part of the three sisters. Does everybody have an answer? No.

Yanni taking his time. The guy with the heart out. Says we got to move this along. You ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying corn and beans. Danny saying corn and wheat.

Rick saying corn and beans. Lorenzo saying, I don't know what that says. Knick and sage. Brody saying maize and yams. Seth saying wheat and corn. Chris saying wilddy sang maize and yams. Seth sang wheat and corn. Chris sang wild rice and maize. Garrett sang wheat and maize. Giannis sang

corn and squash. Jeez, me, Gianni, and Rick. The three crops in the Three Sisters are corn, beans, and squash. Those folks did pretty well. Because the beans... Oh, you're going folks did pretty well. Because the beans climb... Oh, you're going to get in all this.

The Three Sisters crop model was used by tribes from the Great Lakes to Central America. The combo of these three plants is a form of companion planting. The corn provides stalks for the beans to crawl, the beans provide the soil with nitrogen, and the squash leaves shade the ground. If you want to start your own three sisters garden, then go to TheMeatEater.com

and read Jordan Toney's Wild and Whole article called How to Plant a Three Sisters Garden. If Yanni wasn't low on time, I would like to critique some of the answers. Yeah, what do you got? Well, I feel like anyone that went to grade school learned about how wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia.

And Chris, being from the great lakes region would know that wild rice grows in the water see i have a problem the fact that it's been on his mind that wild rice is on his mind i was kind of thinking about what where things originated and when they got to north america I was even on the fence about corn, man. I was like, I don't want to get here. We don't have the time, though, for Steve to critique those answers. If I was going to, that was the path I would go down. So we'll just move on. Question five, the topic is fishing.

What is the name of the world's largest sport fishing trade show that's been held in Orlando since 2014? Ooh. sport fishing trade show that's been held in Orlando since 2014. What is the name of the world's largest sport fishing trade show that's been held in Orlando since 2014? Steve, do you have any of those three sisters in your garden? I am a very avid grower of pole beans, like a string bean type pole bean. I like to grow those because it's so dramatic. But they're not going up corn stalks.

No, I have them growing up right now. What's interesting is I cut some green willow, and I usually cut aspen, but this year I cut green willow to make my poles, my trellises. And it rooted. Oh, interesting. I cut it, stripped it, sunk it in the garden, and it started sprouting leaves everywhere and rooted in there. Now what? I pulled them out.

Didn't you bring back from Arkansas? One year I did cane out of Clay's garden. And that only lasted a year? I actually filed a complaint with him about how disappointed I was in that cane he gave me. I thought it'd last for an eternity. It just doesn't like, I don't think it likes the dry conditions. It just turned brittle and fell apart.

One more time, your question five. What is the name of the world's largest sport fishing trade show that's been held in Orlando since 2014? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying ICAST. Danny saying Pelagic Expo of Pole Bending. Rick saying WSF. Lorenzo saying Florida Fish Felt Fest.

Brody saying NAFTA. North American Free Trade Alliance. Seth saying ICAST. Chris saying Wallhanger Convention. Garrett saying Martin Mayhem. And Gian Seth saying ICAST. Chris saying Wallhanger Convention. Garrett saying Martin Mayhem. And Giannis saying ICAST. The correct answer is ICAST. I never even heard of that thing, man.

About 12,000 people. It's a trade show. It's like a normal fishing dude would have no reason to go there. About 12,000 people attend ICAST each year. It's historically where the biggest brands in the industry reveal their newest products. The next ICAST will be held in Orlando for the 10th straight year on July 11, 2023. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

All right. Everyone's on the board with one point. We have Danny, Lauren, Garrett, and man, so far on the other side of that hill, he's rolling. Brody Henderson also has one point. Wow. Brody's like, he'll be like, what? How many questions are left?

Build back better. Corn pop. We got, with two points, Chris and Rick. Seth has three points. And tied for first place, four points apiece, Steven Rinella and Giannis Poutelis. Man, Seth's emerging as a real threat. Don't curse me.

The topic is hunting. As of October 2022, there are 7 states that don't allow the use of dogs to track wounded big game. Name one of those states. As of right now, there are 7 states that don't allow the use of dogs to track wounded big game. Name one of those states. Nobody knew this one right off the bat. We're just going to be getting some guesses, but you have a 7 in 50 chance of hitting one. What's that round up to?

You can't round that down, can you? 14%? No, you can't like... Like reduce, fraction reduce. You have a 14% chance of getting this right. No, you can't, like... Like, reduce. Fracture, reduce. You have a 14% chance of getting this right. Steve, you think you got the 14%? I've seen a... I saw a map, a color-coded map.

And I... Well, I'll tell you later. Okay. Does everybody have a state written down? Brody? I got two down. Pick one. No?

Yeah. I'm going with my first one. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Where are we? We have Steve saying Oregon, Danny saying California, Rick saying Montana, Lorenzo saying Washington, Brody saying Colorado, Seth saying Alaska, Chris saying New York, Garrett saying Iowa, and Giannis saying California. These seven states are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. Oh, dude, I'm part of the tri-state, man. So we had a few folks get it right, and everyone else was almost like bordering a state that does outlawed. What'd you guess? I remember there being two.

I remember the Pacific Northwest and then the Northeast being in this little map. What was that outfit, Yanni? It's like the Blood Trackers Association. United Blood Trackers. They had a map where you're supposed to. I'm a full supporter. I think that once it's wounded... Why not?

Find the damn thing. Just have it be on a leash law. I can't see any reason why you would ever handicap anyone... Recovering. ...on recovering something that you already hit anyways. Yeah. Just let them go find the damn thing. Yeah.

What are you gaining from not letting them find it? Was California on the list or no? Oh, yeah. If there's a question about- California has spotty coverage. Some places it is allowed. You have to contact a game warden ahead of time. But parts of California, it is legal to use a dog.

Like I could even see, and you get into a lot of enforcement stuff where it's hard work let's say you know uh you'd say well i think you should be able to use thermal vision thermal night vision for um or a thermal scope for tracking so then you got a thermal scope in your backpack where you're not supposed to have a thermal scope you're like oh yeah but i have that's for sure i only have it if i wound something so you get into a lot of you create hard scenarios for enforcement officials but i just don't see a you out with a dog at night being that there's something else going on no because you're probably not going to bring a dog with you hunting because it's going to mess up your whole deal and then it's like i don't know a lot i mean yeah oh yeah you bring people that bring

dogs big game hunts bringing it was illegal i have a dog with you big game hunting in Colorado, wasn't it? Can't remember. The list of states that allow the use of blood tracking dogs has drastically changed over the last decade. In 2011, there were just 27 states where it was legal. In 2019, there were 35 states, and today there are 43 states. To find a blood tracking dog near you, go to unitedbloodtrackers.org. If you're nervous about it, have it be that it's

gotta be on a leash. Track with a leash. Good reason. If you're worried about it. Question 7. The topic is cooking. What New York City borough has a tomato-based clam chowder named after it? What New York City borough

has a tomato-based clam chowder named after it? Nobody knew this one right off the bat. Speak for yourself, bro. Has anyone besides Steve lived in New York City? Yes. I don't think it has anything to do with living in New York City.

No, no, I don't know this. Yeah, we just learned it doesn't matter. Can you name the boroughs for us? No, I will not. He don't even know why I know it. I know it because of Christopher Wayne. When I was a kid, I would only eat this kind and not the other kind. Really?

Yep. Didn't like the other kind. And you referred to it by this name. Yeah, it was right on the can of soup. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I know because Christopher Rain told me this. What New York City borough has a tomato-based clam chowder named after it? Does everybody have an answer?

Watch me get it wrong. Yanni, do you know? Do you have an answer? I don't. Do you know the boroughs? I know a couple of them. You going to pick one? I guess I'm going to have to.

I don't even know what a borough is. Oh, they got it. You know, Alaska's divided into boroughs. Yeah. Really? Yeah. The whole state? Yeah, it's not counties, it's boroughs.

North Slope Borough, yeah. It's like a geopolitical. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Dirty Steve saying Manhattan, Danny saying New England, Rick saying Manhattan, Lorenzo saying Soho, Cody saying Manhattan,

Seth saying Manhattan, Chris saying Manhattan, Garrett saying Manhattan, and Giannis saying Brooklyn. I just couldn't think of like Queens Chowder or something, you know? Steve got it. The correct answer is Manhattan.

What makes Manhattan clam chowder unique is its use of a tomato-based broth instead of milk or cream. Some New Englanders consider this to be a sin, so much so that the state of Maine introduced a bill in 1939 that would have outlawed

putting tomatoes in clam chowder, but the bill did not pass. You know what I have zero tolerance for? What's that? All these things about, oh, if you put beans in it, it's not chili. If you do this, it's not that. If you do this, it's not that. I get a little worn out by that stuff. Are you going to tell us why you knew that answer now? I told you. Christy Ruane told me. Oh, but I thought there was more to the story. That's it? No. We were doing chowder recipes in our cookbooks

and Christy Ruane is our mastermind collaborator. She runs our cookbook projects and she knows everything about that. Oh, good on her. And there are five boroughs, Yanni. What are they? There's Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens,

Manhattan. Have you worked with Krista ever? No. Do not know that person. Not so long. Question eight. Not so long. The topic is conservation.

This is our WorkSharp listener question of the week, which was won by Isaac Diamond. For sending this great question, Isaac is going to get a WorkSharp care package that includes three of our favorite knife sharpeners. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week,

then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. That dude's got some fingers in his future. Elite sharpener better be in there. I think it is. You can sharpen broadheads with that sucker too. This bird, which is considered critically endangered, has the largest wingspan in North America. This bird, which is considered critically endangered, has the largest wingspan in North America.

Now, Brody, why did you like Manhattan clam chowder so much? I don't know. I just, when I was a kid, I didn't like that creamy soup. And are you still that way you like the tomato clam chowder versus dairy clam chowder I like it but I like the other stuff

now too surprised that it said it right on the can pretty sure it did again this bird red and white camel soup can this bird which is considered

critically endangered has the largest wingspan in North America does everybody have an answer oh yeah buddy yeah Garrett doing a lot of writing everybody else good endangered, has the largest wingspan in North America? Does everybody have an answer? Oh yeah, buddy. Garrett doing a lot of writing. Everybody else good? I feel like if I wouldn't have dicked up that first one. Reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying the California Condor, Danny saying Osprey, Rick saying California Condor, Lorenzo, Brody, Seth all saying the California Condor. Seth says just Condor. Seth says just Condor. Are there multiple Condors?

Yes, there are. There's an Indian Condor. Chris is saying... The only one I know about is the one in California. I didn't get a swim bladder. Garrett's saying all Eagles. Garrett's saying Eagle and Giannis is saying California Condor. The correct answer is California Condor. Oh, I forgot about that bird, man. I don't think we'll take

just Condor. So, I forgot about that bird, man. I don't think we'll take just condor. So, honesty here, I only knew of California condor. Andean? This is a contest about how much you know. What's the other one? There's the Andean condor of South America, which is even bigger, I think, than the California condor. Oh, gotcha. Oh, I guess that makes sense, then.

At 10 feet from tip to tip, the California condor's wingspan is nearly 3 feet wider than a bald eagle's. At their lowest point, there were just 10 California condors left in the wild. But thanks to conservation efforts, today there are about 300 California condors in the wild and another 200 living in captivity. Are they all in California? No, I think they're like Utah, Arizona. They're spread out. They hop over to Grand Canyon. Do they really?

Kaibab Plateau. Whoa, that'd be wild to see. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Okay, well, since Seth didn't know his condors, we only have two players left in the game. We have Steven Rinella, who has seven points. He's only missed one.

And with five, it's a pretty big gap there. We have Giannis Patelis, but he can still catch up. And I kind of knew the one. Kind of. So we need Steve to get these last two wrong and Brody to get the last two right. Can you give us, I'm sorry, Giannis get the last two right. How about the cameramen?

How are they doing? They have their own competition. Yeah, sure thing. Danny Bolden has one. He's dead last, but he's really giving it his all. Well, he spent his whole life in Hawaii. Yeah, exactly. Serving in fish.

There's no Manhattan clam chowder. Rick has four. Lauren has three. Brody has three. Seth has four. Lauren has three. Brody has three. Seth has four. Chris has three. And Garrett Dirt Myth has two.

Two questions left. Oh, gear bear. Question nine. The topic is fishing. Between you and I now, Rick. What teenage fugitive with an alliterative nickname stole a 34-foot tuna fishing boat in Washington while on the run in 2010. Give me that again.

What teenage fugitive with an alliterative nickname stole a 34-foot tuna fishing boat in Washington while on the run in 2010? Did he also steal a plane? Not going to give you any hints. Oh, that's a hint. Looking for the teenage fugitive with an alliterative nickname who stole a 34-foot tuna fishing boat in Washington while on the run in 2010.

And you're just looking for his nickname? Just looking for his nickname. Okay. Do you know this one, Phil? Would have you known this one? No. No. This may be one of the dumbest questions you've ever asked, Spencer. Yeah, I just don't. Oh, it was a tuna boat. Yeah, he stole a tuna fishing boat.

Stupid, but still. Not totally stupid. Nobody has an answer, I don't think. Oh, I got one. Oh, okay. I don't know if it's right. I might be confusing it with a different fugitive. Giannis?

I got one. Okay. Teenage fugitive with an alliterative nickname. Does everybody have an answer who's going to come up with one? Yeah, everybody comes up with a fun nickname. I know what you're talking about, but no, I got nothing. I got this wrong. Everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying, slippery slim. Slappery slim. Oh, he's got it. Danny saying, McQueen. Rick saying, Captain Chris. Lorenzo saying, Squire. Brody without an answer.

Chris got it. Seth saying, dumbass. Chris saying, barefoot bandit. Garrett saying, bitchy little bitch. And Yannis saying, Big Bob. Chris got it. It's the barefoot bandit. Man. That one is rattling around in there somewhere, man. We're tied up now. And Yana's saying, Big Bob, Chris got it. It's the Barefoot Bandit.

Man. That one was rattling around in there somewhere, man. We're tied up now. You spit it up like a cat with a hairball. The Barefoot Bandit's real name is Colton Harris Moore. While on the run, he stole millions of dollars worth of planes, boats, and vehicles. He was captured in July of 2010 after crashing a stolen plane into a bohemian fishing village. Moore was sentenced to seven years in prison

in order to pay $1.4 million in restitution, which he accomplished by selling the film rights from his story to 20th Century Fox. Did you say bohemian or bohemian? Bohemian. Bohemian. He meant bohemian. Am I saying it wrong? Bohemian? No, you got it. Okay. It sounded like you said Bohemian or Bahamian? Bahamian. He meant Bahamian. Am I saying it wrong? Bahamian?

No, you got it. It sounded like you said Bohemian. Now, why is that, Brody? He stole a fishing boat at one point. He crashed into a fishing village. He crashed his plane onto some Yakima reservation public land. He had to do a lot of camping in the mountains. You're defending this very vigorously.

I feel very strongly that this is tied to our forward. I think Shakespeare said Doth protest too much. Yeah. I think it's... It was made into a movie, this character? No, but 20th century Fox paid $1.4 million for the story, which he then had to use to pay off restitution fees for stealing all those planes and boats and things. I could picture one of them.

When he was younger, you know who they would have put in it? They would have had it be... Leo. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's the modern day catch me if you can. Yeah, they'd have him be in it, or they'd use the guy from American Honey.

Yeah, in and out of trouble. Question 10. We have our winner with Steven Urnella, but we'll Finish out the game How did I win it? It's gotta run You're at 7 Yanni's at 5

Topic is woodsmanship.

Seems as though nobody just like knew this one. No, I had no idea. I still don't. No. Does everybody have an answer? Looking from what direction the moon rises? Steve, you good? No, give me a second. Okay.

Looking from what direction the moon rises? You know it? I think I know it. Rick should know this one. Yeah. Why should he know this one? Because I have to film it. Yeah. All these film guys should know this one. Yeah. Why should he know this one? Because I have to film it. Yeah.

All these film guys should know this one. Oh, no, I don't think about them. I know the sun, where the sun is at any hour of the day. I'll tell you. I'll point. It's related. Based on months or the year, I'll point right there and I'll nail it every time. Do you guys ever do the thing that Neil deGrasse Tyson gets really mad about where you film

like a sunset and then you put it in reverse and make it a sunrise or vice versa? No, I would do that? That's out of control. Yeah, those are the editors that do that. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for what direction the moon rises? Steve? I think he's written down one earlier. Let's just end the show.

I think he's wrote down every direction so far. Ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying west, Danny saying east, Rick saying east, Lorenzo saying east, Brody saying east, Seth saying west, Chris saying west, Garrett saying east, and Giannis saying south.

The correct answer is east. I won! The earth only spins one direction. Yeah, exactly. The moon is a big part of celestial navigation because its rules apply to both hemispheres and it's brighter

than these stars. Some of the things you can learn from the moon's position and phase include directions, time of day, and distance traveled. Phil, I'll remind you whose podcast feed this is. include directions, time of day, and distance traveled. I was thinking gravity or something. Phil, I'll remind you whose podcast feed this is. I would like to wrap her up prior to that question.

Can we get a final scoreboard update, Phil, to see who is the champion cameraman when it comes to trivia? Yeah, Steve's the winner. The champion cameraman is Rick Smith. Rick Smith with five points. I knew it. Well done, Rick. I won money off dirt.

I won money off Rick. It's a failure because I didn't get close to beating Steve. Nah. I've strayed in my donations. What happens next is Steve gets to choose where a $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. He's wrestling with it. Well, no, I'm just walking people through my logic. I've done some giving.

I've done some giving. Well, first off, I'd like to thank my parents. I've done some giving in honor of guests, if you remember a couple times i've done that but i want to go back to my roots today and and give my donation to the theodore roosevelt conservation partnership where i'm a proud uh board member and again um just look no further than one of their rallying cries which is guaranteeing americans quality places to hunt and fish.
