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 Petelis, Brody Henderson, Seth Morris, Sean Weaver, Alyssa Smith, Rick Hutton, and Max Barta. 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 is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. But there's a twist for this week's episode of trivia. This is episode one of the 2022 MeatEater Trivia Tournament. There will be three episodes total, and by the end of the last one, we'll have crowned a champion of MeatEater Trivia for 2022. How do you guys feel about that?

Real good. It's pretty exciting. Y'all think you got a shot? Nope. I sure don't. I'm the underdog here. I want to know what happens if you win this playoff, but overall someone has more wins than you in the regular season. That's okay.

That's how competitive sports work. It's not always the best team that wins. It's like the best team for the last five games of the year or the last five series of the year or whatever. But a team that has like two wins in the regular season in the NFL doesn't even make the playoffs. Well, this is to get into the final episode. You're not taking previous performance into consideration.

Now hold that thought, Brody. We'll get back to that here very soon. So here's how this is going to work. Hold on. First, you're not going to touch on your cutoff sweatshirt at all? Yeah, I was already going to ask on that. And tell people about this? Yeah, I got a cutoff sweatshirt.

I've made a couple of them this last year. I think this is like the perfect garment for Montana. You don't have the sleeves. You can like still throw up a hood. This was inspired by New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who's been rocking one for like a decade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it looks

terrible, but I love it. I think everyone should have one. Do you find that your forearms often get overheated? Usually it's my armpits. Yeah, it's just kind of clunky. I find that I'm often rolling my sleeves up on a sweatshirt, so I cut the sleeves off of this sweatshirt. Spencer's getting a new tattoo once a week.

How much yet? I was just going to say, he has tattoos to show off. This was a pre-tattoo move. Spencer, I think you should clarify, though, for listeners. It's not like a cutoff, like the entire sleeve is cut off. Oh, I have some of those, too. Oh, you do? Okay.

This is just your half sleeve. Yeah, this is like a t-shirt with a hood that's made out of sweatshirt material. Highly recommended. Do you have any where the bottom hem is cut off a little bit? No. No belly shits. If I was rocking that Giannis Patel's bod, maybe. The runner's bod. Yeah, but I'm not

ready to just show navel. This is just to show off the arm tattoos. Alright, I appreciate you telling everybody about that. I'm going to go try it. I have so many hoodies at home, I got no problem sacrificing one. You should talk to our merchandising department and maybe they can develop an immediate version of that. Then talk to First Light about a hooded vest type scenario.

Oh, you know what I did? Speaking of First Light, I did that with my Leafy suit. Oh. Mainly because I forgot a lens cover one time and I was running my 70-200, which is white. Uh-huh. And so I cut my sleeve off right there and slipped that over my lens.

Off one arm. That is a hot tip. But I realized that I freaking love it. Oh, just running one arm though. Well, no, I do it to both. Okay. Yeah. So here's how this is going to work.

This episode has seven players on it, four of which will move on to the championship. The next episode will have seven new players on it. And just like with this show, only four of them will move on to the championship. The next episode will have seven new players on it. And just like with this show, only four of them will move on to the next round. By episode three, we'll be down to the last eight contestants. And one of those eight will be crowned the champion. Now, just like with organized sports, I thought it only be right to reward those players who have shown regular season dominance. So as the top dog in meat eater trivia, I'm granting Brody Henderson an automatic bid to make it to the third episode.

That means Brody is already moving on, and there are three other spots that are now up for grabs for you other six players. So, Brody. So, I could really screw someone. What do you mean? Well, if you're only taking four. I'm taking you plus three others. So, Brody. Brody is automatically. screw someone. What do you mean? Well, if you're only taking four, I'm taking you plus three others.

So Brody is automatically moving on. I get you. I get you. Now, Brody, I'm going to put you on the spot here. Between these other six players, who do you think it will be, the three that move on to the championship? Gotta give us an answer. You can be objective.

Don't Hammond Haw. Giannis, Rick, and Seth Oh he knew it, he didn't even have to think about that I'm sorry Alyssa I'm sorry Max I think you guys should be worried about the underdog here Alyssa I went 0 for 10 last time

I don't even know why I'm here You didn't have to remind people Everyone loves an underdog Max We're just going to keep that between us, but good on you. I got so much shit from that last episode. I'm surprised to hear about this little bye situation, because originally when the email came out, there were no byes. There must have been a bunch of complaining that went on. I saw two emails that were contentious.

There was some complaining, and I thought they had merit. So I went with it. I like the idea of granting a bye to those players. Not that I think Brody needs it. I imagine he's going to be in the top four anyway. But just in case

he has a fluke performance, our guy with the most wins is going to be in the championship. Yeah, he needs to be there. Bill Belichick would accept the first round bye for sure. Yeah. Organized sports, man. Now, in a

previous game of trivia, Brody called me out for using the word funner and asked if that's really a word. Well, according to Merriam-Webster, it is. So long as you use funner or funnest as adjectives, they are acceptable. On that show, when I said, this will be a

funner stat to look at a year from now It was an adjective so therefore it was correct so Brody I hope this makes you feel a bit stupider for not knowing Is the word yes, it does make me feel dumber stupider is a word Yeah, okay, well now I can say things like mule deer hunting is funner than whitetail hunting. Sure. That'll work. Does that work?

Yeah. You just start throwing around. It's going to, like, make people want to scratch their ears, but I think you should do it anyway. All right. Also on a previous Game of Trivia, Cal asked who the heaviest president we've had is. That honor goes to William Taft, who was 340 pounds. He's followed by Grover Cleveland at 260 and Donald Trump at 239. At the other end of the spectrum is James Madison, our lightest president ever.

He stood 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed in at just over 100 pounds, which means it would take about 3.1 James Madisons to equal one William Taft. 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!

Round one. Question one. The topic is fishing. This first great question comes to us via Kale Patterson. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, send it to trivia at themeateater.com. And as always, this first question will be multiple choice. What was the most stocked fish by federal hatcheries in 2021? Was it channel catfish, Chinook salmon, American shad, or bluegill? Again, what was the most stocked fish by federal hatcheries in 2021. Your choices are channel catfish, Chinook salmon, American shad, or bluegill.

Does everybody have an answer? Good over there, Seth. Oh, lots of erasing. Ooh, you should never change your answer, man. Stick with your gut. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying American Shad, Rick saying Chinook Salmon,

Brody saying Chinook Salmon, Alyssa saying Chinook Salmon, Max saying American Shad, Seth saying Chinook Salmon, and Giannis saying Chinook Salmon. The room did very well. The answer is Chinook Salmon. 0 for 11.

Chinook salmon. 0 for 11. Chinook salmon were overwhelmingly the most stocked fish in 2021. Hatcheries released over 37 million of them, which is followed by walleye at 27 million, American shad at 9 million, and rainbow trout at 8 million. I think that federal was a little hint you gave there. It's definitely a hint because federal hatcheries sort of have an emphasis on like threatened, endangered,

vulnerable species while state agencies usually focus more on game fish. So that's definitely a notable part of the question. We're at question two. The topic is conservation. What is the only ferret that's native to North America?

Again, what is the only ferret that's native to North America? There's some confident writing going on in the room by most of the players. I believe that the answer is going to make for some fun. You think so? Are you feeling me? You know what I'm talking about? Maybe. We'll see.

Does everybody have an answer? If Steve was here, he'd go, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did. His is a little higher pitched. I can only think of weasels right now. Do you have an answer, Max? Just ferret.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying the black-footed, Rick saying black-footed, Brody saying black-footed, Alyssa saying the white ferret, Max without an answer, Seth and Giannis saying the black-footed. They got it. The answer is the black-footed ferret. Their population used to range from Canada to Mexico, but now they're only found in about a half dozen states. They're considered to be one of the most endangered mammals on the continent, with only about 300 left in the wild.

Do you know how they found them? I feel like Steve's talked about this before. Wasn't there one in some dude's garage? Some ranger's dog brought one home in Matitsi, Wyoming. That's right. Question three. I thought it was going to be fun because of whether or not we had to use the hyphen. No.

Spelling doesn't matter unless I say it does. Which recently was a topic on a meat eater podcast. That's right. Because Steve's mad that Pat Durkin thinks that you should still use the hyphen when you say white-tailed deer. That brings up that post that you had the other day Where Pat Durkin called Steve An ignorant slut Really enjoyed that But you didn't explain what the context around it was

In your post You mean like what Dirk is referencing Or why he called Steve an ignorant slut Aren't they one and the same thing Well like the conversation Was around the whitetail deer topic But Dirk was of course What I thought quoting the office But it turns out that reference is even older and goes back to SNL, which I didn't know.

Oh, okay. It was a character that Dan Aykroyd played on SNL. What's the context for that? Who is he calling? He was like a correspondent for the weekend update desk, and they would be having a conversation, and he'd be like, that's nice. Jan, you ignorant. They're like, you're wrong. I don't remember, but it was his catchphrase like, that's nice. Jan, you ignorant slug. You're wrong. I don't remember,

but it was his catchphrase and that's what Michael Scott got from the office. You know, Durkin, I think, would be a formidable opponent in trivia.

That guy knows a lot of stuff. We've got to have him out next year. That's right. Will you make that happen? We can definitely make that happen.

But my familiarity, again, was Michael calling Dwight an ignorant slut, but I had no idea their reference was even older. And Dirk being even a layer deeper than that. I can really appreciate someone who's around age 70 calling Steve

an ignorant slut. But Pat wouldn't actually just fly off the hook and call anybody ever that, so it was great that he was referencing something. That's right. Question three. The topic is foraging. Wild rice is the official grain of what glacial lake state?

Wild rice is the official grain of what glacial lake state? A lot of thinking going on here. Really? Seemed as though nobody knew it right off the bat. I just wasn't sure on the abbreviation. So I just want to make sure. I'm going to spell it out. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Minnesota. Rick saying Minnesota. Brody saying Minnesota. Alyssa saying California, a long way from the Great Lakes. Max saying Minnesota. Seth saying Minnesota. And Giannis saying Minnesota.

You didn't say Great Lakes. You said Glacial Lakes. Oh, I'm sorry. I said Glacial Lakes. I meant Great Lakes. Sorry about that. You all got it anyway. It is Minnesota.

Yes. Wait, no. That's my bad. I was thinking Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat. Hey, there's a lot of rice. A lot of rice grown in California. There is. More than that bad of an answer at all.

There is also wild rice in California. I'm sorry, Alyssa. I should not have shamed you for your answer. I did not say Great Lakes like I meant to. I said Glacial Lakes. Michigan has been attempting to pass a bill since 2018 that would also make wild rice their official state grain, but it hasn't

happened yet. If you want to learn how to cook with wild rice, go to TheMeatEater.com and check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe for turkey and wild rice soup or Justin Townsend's recipe for duck and wild rice casserole. Next time, can you tell us what benefit it does,

either the grain or the state when they have an official grain? In Michigan, for example, why they have been trying to do this for four years now, it would benefit the tribes in a way that when you have something listed as an official grain, it makes others respect it to where they could manage the resource better then. There's more awareness around it. So that's why they're trying to do it there. They recognize that they don't even know if it should be listed as like endangered, vulnerable, if it's like a species of least concern. So in Michigan specifically, they're trying to get it established as the official grain,

and then they think that'll open up the door to do other things. Question four, the topic is deer camp. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Christy Holmes for sending in this great question. Christy is going to get a set of meat eater coasters that were signed by everyone in the room. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week,

then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. Only two women have appeared solo on the cover of Field and Stream magazine. Name one of them. Only two women have appeared solo on the cover of Field and Stream magazine. Name one of those women. Is Christy from Maine?

Yeah, I think I follow her on Instagram. Is this Christy from Maine? She is from Maine because I had to ask her for her address to send her this prize, and she was a Maynard. I'm going with her this time. Oh, man, I'm torn between two really bad. Thank you, Christy, for sending in this great question. Again, looking for one of the two women that appeared solo on the cover of Field and Stream magazine.

You all are the decisions. Oh, man, this is hard. Yeah, this is hard. Yeah, this is a good question. That's why it's our listener question of the week. Does everybody have an answer? Not yet. I want some more time to think about my answer. You already wrote one down. You're just thinking if that's the one you want to go with?

Yep. I'll go with it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Eva Shockey. Rick saying Kelly Glenn. Brody saying Joan Wolfe. Joan Wolfe. Alyssa saying Alyssa Smith.

We should make that happen. Max saying Eva Shockey. Seth saying Annie Oakley. Giannis saying Eva Shockey. The correct answers are Queen Elizabeth and Eva Shockey. Nice. Man. Heating up.

Heating up. Two for two. Spencer, you probably don't even know who Joan Wolfe is. I don't. What? That's why I had to ask you who that is. Queen Elizabeth. Yeah, I would like context for that.

Queen Elizabeth appeared on the cover with her hunting dogs in 1976, and Eva Shockey was on the cover with her bow in 2014. Many other women have been on the cover of the magazine, but were always there with men, which makes the Queen Elizabeth and Eva Shockey covers unique. And I could have, I almost didn't put Eva, because I could have seen that it would have been her and her dad on the cover. For sure.

Solo, though. Brody, are you going to explain who explain who joan wolf she's a pioneer of american fly fishing very cool well it wasn't good enough like like i think that was named after her either her husband yeah okay yeah because you spelled her father you spelled it the same as that spelled okay yes brought to question five we will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is biology. This animal, whose nickname is the walking pine cone, was once thought to be the source of COVID-19.

Again, the topic is biology. This animal, whose nickname is the walking pine cone, was once thought to be the source of COVID-19. Yeah, I've never heard of this before. It's an animal too? It's an animal. I would love to imagine COVID-19 coming from a pinecone. Hey, you never know.

We had some quick answers in the room, and we also have some non-answers in the room. Seems like a portion of our players knew this right off the bat. You got all three of you think you know it. Sean, Rick, Brody. Eh, I don't think so. Brody, did you write one down already? Oh, gotcha. I like how the back of your board says, suck it, Brody.

I know. There's a couple. I was going to say Brody is quite contagious. It's contagious. Does everybody have an answer? Makes me feel loved. Sure. Max is scribbling. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying

pangolin, Rick saying armadillo, Brody saying pangolin, Alyssa saying armadillo, Max saying badger, Seth saying bat, and Giannis saying rat. The correct answer is pangolin. So we had a few people get it. Early in the pandemic, some researchers thought that black market pangolins sold in Wuhan were the source of COVID. But a study that looked at human and pangolin genomes later exonerated them as the culprit.

Pangolins were a natural suspect because there are nearly 200,000 of them sold on the black market each year, and they do carry other types of coronavirus. Can you just kind of describe a pangolin? They look like an armadillo. Yeah, it's like an armadillo. I think there's eight kinds in the world. They're, like, very scaly.

It almost looks like, Giannis, if I said it looks like a Pokemon, would you know what that means? I would think Pikachu. It looks a lot like a walking In there are like 8 million different kinds of Pokemon? Yes. That's what I was going to say. Like if I had to think of an animal that looks like it was created for anime,

pangolin would be one of them. That's a good way to say it. Phil, agree or disagree with me on the Pangolin looking like a Pokemon, and then give us a scoreboard update. Now, why did you choose Phil? Well, here's the thing, Spencer. I can tell you a lot about Pokemon and nothing about a Pangolin. Okay.

Okay. With one point, we have Alyssa Smith. Then coming up next with two points is Max. And then with three points apiece, we have Seth and Rick. And all tied for first place, we have Sean, Giannis, and Brody with four points. Ooh, this is tight. It's a good game. To see who is going to move on to the Trivia Championship.

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. Whew! Our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of, of you know sucking high and titty there on x is now in canada the great features that you love and on x are available for your

If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Now, this is a visual question. If you want to see what the room is seeing, then go to Instagram and check out at Spencer Newarth. I will make it my most recent post. I am showing the room

a picture of a license plate with the state's name photoshopped out. You need to tell me what state this belongs to. Now here's why this is relevant. The license plate says Sportsman's Paradise on it.

Oh, Rick didn't need any time at all to see that. Neither did Brody. It's almost as though they know the answers. There are many sportsman's paradises out there. Kremlin, Colorado, remember that one? And are you laughing because it's not a sportsman's paradise? No, it is.

It's just a rinky-dink little town, though. But that's what it's called. Giannis, describe what you're seeing on that license plate. It looks like a... I'd go more of a sunrise background, like slightly pink on the bottom, and then kind of fades into a yellow. And then there's a...

Is that a pelican? Looks like a pel that a pelican looks like a pelican looks like a pelican standing on this should give everybody a clue standing on a piling and it has the word sportsman's paradise under it i'm feeling pretty confident oh i'm torn between the piling thing just screwed me up i I'm torn between two. Does anyone else want to look at what the license plate is? Man. I just thought of another state. It could be that.

Does everybody have an answer? No. No. I'm writing down my initial answer at the bottom. Lots of erasing from Max. No, Max won. I suck with it. I just put the initials.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Louisiana. Rick saying Louisiana. My circled answer is my, I'm telling you. Brody. I was torn between two. Brody saying Louisiana. Alyssa without an answer.

Max saying Florida. Seth saying South Carolina. And Giannis saying Florida, Seth saying South Carolina, and Giannis saying Florida. The correct answer is Louisiana. Nice. Oh, boys. Good job. Did I get half a point for my second choice?

No. Max does have on his board, to his credit, second choice, Louisiana. Now, Louisiana's nickname is the sportsman's paradise. Other monikers the state goes by include fisherman's paradise, the bayou state, the sugar state, the child of the Mississippi, the creole state, the holland of America, and the pelican state. Man, I was just there too not too long ago.

If anyone had it in them to get this right, Seth, I think it was you. I know. I didn't pay attention to license plates. Yeah, you were just there. Spent a majority of my time on the ocean, though. You don't see plates out there. I got vehicles there.

You just saw a whole bunch of pelicans. Yeah. On pylons. Probably. Question seven. The topic is cooking. This widely distributed reptile is said to have seven distinct types of meat. What is it?

Wait. Say that again. This widely distributed reptile is said to have seven distinct types of meat. What is it? Wait, say that again. This widely distributed reptile is said to have seven distinct types of meat. He'd already be saying something. You don't say because... This widely distributed reptile is said to have seven distinct types of meat What is it Brody? I'm not arguing Steve's If this goes a certain way I'm not arguing Steve's How specific do we have to be?

You need to be specific That's what I'm getting at Seth If you just said like deer I would not accept deer If the answer was white tail deer You would need to write down white tail deer One more time deer. There we go. If the answer was white-tailed deer, you would need to write down white-tailed deer. One more time, this widely distributed reptile is said to have seven distinct types

of meat. What is it? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying snapping turtle. Rick saying common iguana. Brody saying snapping turtle. Rick saying common iguana. Brody saying snapping turtle. Alyssa saying alligator.

Max saying snapping turtle. Seth saying snapping turtle. And Giannis saying snapping turtle. They got it. The answer is snapping turtle. Heck yeah. I'm very glad you specified you needed to have a specific. Yeah, because I had turtle.

Me too. The seven types of meat snapping turtles supposedly have are beef, chicken, fish, goat, pork, shrimp, and veal. If you want to buy it online, the boneless meat costs about $40 per pound. And if you want to learn how to clean one yourself, then turn to page 256 in the Meat Eater Fish and Game Cookbook. That's one of the things I miss most about living in Montana versus coming from Illinois or South Dakota. All the reptiles and amphibians.

Totally. You just don't see snapping turtles crossing the road here. I don't live in eastern Montana. Nothing like glacial lakes of South Dakota, though.

You were just there at some wacky museum. Those are Brody's words calling it wacky not mine you don't think that museum you were at is slightly strange yes I would agree with it is slightly strange why the question eight we will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this the topic is conservation this next great question comes to us via Howard Whiteman. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, send it to

trivia at themeateater.com. What organization is in charge of the annual Christmas bird count? Again, what organization is in charge of the annual Christmas bird count? Brody knew it right away.

Maybe. I don't know how to spell it. What organization is in charge of the annual Christmas bird count? Does everybody have an answer? Mm-hmm. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Audubon. Rick saying Ducks Unlimited.

Brody saying Audubon. Alyssa saying Audubon, Max saying U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Seth saying the Audubon Society, and Giannis saying the National Audubon Society. The correct answer is the National Audubon Society. Spencer, you had me with organization. Phil, I'm on the edge of my seat. What's going on?

This used to be referred to as... That's right, Brody. You are the most anxious one in the room, and we already know that he's moving on to the championship. I really appreciate it. Yeah, I want to know what's going on with everyone else. Some people think that the competitiveness between folks like you and Steve is a bit, but it's not.

It's absolutely not. Now, this used to be referred to as the Christmas side hunt where hunters would go afield Christmas day to see who could kill the most birds. But it was changed to a birding survey event in 1900, which meant that guns were no longer welcome. If you want to participate in the Christmas Bird Count in 2022, which I plan to because there's one in Bozeman, then go to audubon.org for more information. Phil, give Brody a scoreboard update. With five points, we have Seth Morris, flip-flop flasher. With six points, we have Giannis Patelis, the Latvian Eagle, and tied for first place with seven points are

Brody Henderson, who we know is already moving on, and Sean Weaver. Wow. Having a week. Question nine. The topic is hunting. What biblical figure was the great grandson of Noah and described as a mighty hunter before the Lord? What biblical figure was the great-grandson of Noah and described as, this is a quote,

a mighty hunter before the Lord? This pagan group did not know it right off the bat. Oh, man, I was out hunting. No, I was born and raised Catholic. You should go visit that wacky museum, bro. You might learn a thing or two. I know. Yep. Yep. He's born and raised Catholic. You should go visit that wacky museum, bro. You might learn a thing or two. I know. Speaking of Noah.

This is bad that I don't know this. Yeah. Again, what biblical figure was the great grandson of Noah and described as, quote, a mighty hunter before the Lord? Can you say it one more time? What biblical figure was described as the great-grandson of Noah and, quote, a mighty hunter before the Lord? Did I give it to you that time? No.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Solomon. Rick saying Samson. Brody saying John. Alyssa without an answer. Max saying Lion. Seth saying St. Hubert. And Giannis saying Josiah. Nobody got it.

The answer is Nimrod. Oh, that's where the old Nimrod term comes from. Oh, man. I so thought Rick had it. The usage of Nimrod as an insult was actually popularized by the Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny, often sarcastically referred to as Elmer Fudd as a Nimrod, and Daffy Duck also called him My Little Nimrod in a 1948 cartoon. For more on Nimrod and hunting in the Bible, listen to episode 119 of the Meat Eater podcast

with religious scholar Bracey Hill. Wasn't St. Hubert the patron saint of hunters? He was, yes, he was. He inspired the Jägermeister logo because St. Hubert saw a, I think it was a white stag walking through the forest with a glowing cross hanging from its antlers. Maybe you'll see that one in elk season, you honest?

Question 10. The topic is fishing. What reservoir is formed by Hoover Dam? Again, what reservoir is formed by Hoover Dam? Brody, did you know this? Hold on, hold on, hold on. This game is shaping up for overtime, which we haven't had in a minute. Again, what reservoir is formed by Hoover Dam?

Does everybody have an answer? I don't feel good about it. Giannis? Oh, he's erasing. You good? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sean saying Lake Powell, Rick saying Lake Powell, Brody saying Lake Mead,

Alyssa saying Lake Mead, Max saying Hoover Lake, Seth saying Lake Powell, and Giannis saying Lake Powell. The correct answer is Lake Mead. Oh! Making Larry Henderson our unlikely winner. Now, the whole room had shifted to Lake Powell when the answers were revealed, but Brody had it right. Nice. What's Powell?

Glen Canyon Dam? I think Glen Canyon. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Dang it. Shit. So how many answers did Brody get right to be our winner? He ended with eight points.

Eight points. And how are the other three moving on, and what was their score that are going to the trivia championship? It's just a countdown. We have Sean with seven, Giannis with six, and Seth with five. Very good. Now what happens next is Brody is going to choose where our $500 donation goes. So Brody, what's it going to be? Let's do Trout Unlimited.

We haven't done like a water fish conservation thing. I don't think. Have we, Spencer? No, I think you're right, Brody. We have not done that. What I like about when Brody wins is he diversifies his earnings. It's not always going to like TRCP or the— Everyone deserves a little bit, right?

That's right. I like it, Brody. Well done. Now, the next episode you're going to hear, again, is going to be seven new players competing to see who gets to go to the championship for episode three. You guys have any thoughts on who might make it in that round? I think we have Steve, Garrett, Corey, Corinne, some folks like that. Who do you think is going to come out of that round?

Now, I haven't revealed this either to Steve, but he's also going to get a bye like Brody did. Well, we've got to know everyone that's playing to figure out who's going to make it. Corey will make it. You think Corey will? Yeah, I think so. Probably Garrett too. Okay. Sounds everyone that's playing to figure out who's going to make it. Corey will make it. You think Corey will? Yeah, I think so. Probably Garrett, too.

Okay. Sounds like that's the B team. I guess you had all the A team here to make the competition stiffer. I'm with you, to be honest. That's right. My corner was the C team, I guess. What's it going to take to win that round, to make it to round three out of their group? That's usually...

Probably only like three or four. Oh, that's brutal. That's usually based on the script that I write and I haven't written that one yet, so we'll see. To be determined. It would be interesting if you gave them the same questions you gave us today. You know, I thought about that, but it wouldn't make

for a very good listen. No, not at all. It would be hard to tune in to that one as well. For sure. You already know the answers. That's right. Tune in next time for the next episode of Meteor Trivia. You're going to get 10 new questions,

7 new players. This is the only game show where conservation always wins. Good job, Spencer. Thanks for having me, Spencer. I'm not doing this again.
