Welcome to Meat-Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Seth Morris, Rick Hutton, Corey Calkins, Maggie Smith, Max Barta, and Hansi Dershermeyer. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

And there's a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Each week here on MeatEater Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week, we're looking at the average length of episodes with and without Steve. A few listeners have pointed out to me that episodes with Steve tend to be longer. So I had to look for myself. Here's how the data breaks down after more than 45 episodes shows with Steve are on average 44.1 minutes while episodes without Steve are 40.8 minutes. That's a 3.3 minute difference, meaning that episodes with Steve tend to be 8% longer.

So they're complaining because they don't want to live? Like, I don't... It's not a complaint. It's just an observation that folks have. So I need everyone in the room to turn up their banter like 10% and then maybe we'll make up for Steve not being here. Does this mean... Did you already do this stat?

Does it mean that he whines three minutes per episode? Or argues? Some might say. I'm not gonna say that. There's also an element of... I thought you looked up, like, how much time he spends. Yeah, he dominates that category. He's throwing out a lot of factoids and stuff, too.

It's sometimes good banter. Also, in Steve's defense, we usually have the podcast guest here when Steve is on the show, which introduces a little more banter on that end. So it's not just all Steve. But everybody just needs to crank up their banter, like 10%, and then we'll make up the difference. Okay. Can you do that for me?

Suck it, Spencer. Here's some banter. You said Hansi's last name wrong. Oh, no. You did. All right, correct me. How did I say it, and what's the right way? Dershermeyer is how you said it?

It's Deshermeyer. Deshermeyer. It's just phonetic. It's just phonetic. Can you spell that? Hansi, ask Spencer to say Jaguar. Ooh, I want to hear this.

Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguar. There we go. Oh, so it's natural that you just kind of ignore phoneticism. Yeah, just mess everything up.

What percentage of folks mess up your last name as opposed to getting it right? It's like 50%. Oh, okay. Because it's not that hard, right? No, it's not. But there's a certain 25% that say it,

and then they're like, I got it, didn't I? I'm like, I'm going to give them a prize for pronouncing my name correctly. I have these little gift cards in my back pocket just for you. I caught a lot of hell a couple episodes ago for pronouncing the state where Denver is a certain way. And we got a lot of feedback pertaining to my pronunciation versus Steve's pronunciation. We'll cover that on a future episode, though.

How can you bring that up and not talk about it? We'll get to it on a future episode. I have a linguist that I need to track down. You're talking about the state that Giannis and I used to live in. Yes, that state. I think there's only one way to pronounce that. What is it? Colorado.

Okay. We will cover it off. Did you say Colorado? We'll cover it off on a future episode. You wanted banter. This is banter for you. Now, we have some housekeeping to get to before we play. In a previous game of trivia, I asked players to name one of the seven states that

don't allow the use of dogs to blood track wounded big game. The answer, which I got from unitedbloodtrackers.org was Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. But it turns out that was wrong and every hunter from Washington reached out to let me know. In June of 2022, Washington made it legal to use a leashed dog to blood trail big game within 72 hours of the shot. This does not apply to bear or cougar though. So that means that there are now just six states left where using blood trailing dogs is illegal. Now, cameraman Loren Moulton did give Washington as an answer, which, as we now know, is incorrect.

But he was not in the running to win the show or beat the other cameraman, so it didn't change the outcome of the game. Washington made it legal last year to blood trail big game. Those other six states need to get on it. They're all confused in Washington. Oh, buddy. They just don't know what to do in that state. Also on a previous show, we had a question about Maryland being the only state without any natural lakes,

which inspired Brody to ask what the technical difference is between a pond and a lake. Here's what I found. There's no agreed upon distinction between the two, but most limnologists use the rule that a pond becomes a lake when it gets deep enough where sunlight can't reach the bottom. So it's not about surface area. It's about depth. Then how can you have a definitive answer for that question? The Maryland I don't remember who manages their game. I want to know if I lost that round by

one point. I don't remember if it's the Maryland DNR Maryland Game and Parks, whatever it is. They're even the ones who put this stat out there. So their own game management agency agrees that they don't have any natural lakes. So you're going to have to take it up with them on the pond versus lake distinction.

What was that word you used? Limnologist. That's somebody who studies water, I believe. Fresh water. I took a class in that in college. Oh, what'd you learn? I mean about fresh water. Did you go to college in Minnesota?

Yes, I did. It's got to be a good place to do limnology. Our campus had five lakes on it. That's great. Now, the Shelby Index for this round is a four, so our winner should get about eight correct answers. 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. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is biology. This first great question comes to us via Michelle Buckley. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.

Which of these animals is known to develop limber tail? Is it ducks, dogs, white-tailed deer, or beaver? Say that word again. Which of these animals is known to develop limber tail? Is it ducks, dogs, white-tailed deer, or beaver? Limber tail. Is it ducks, dogs, white-tailed deer, or beaver? Limber tail. Four choices. Ducks, dogs, white-tailed deer, and beaver.

Nobody was writing before I gave the choices. So folks look confident, but not that confident. Limber tail. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying dogs, Rick saying dogs, Brody saying beaver, Hansi,

Maggie, Corey, Seth, and Giannis all saying dogs. So the only outlier is Brody saying beaver. That scares me kind of. The correct answer is dogs. Damn it! This is also known as cold tail, swimmer's tail, or broken wag. It's a muscle sprain that causes a limp tail and takes about a week to heal.

It's often the result of excessive tail use in cold or wet conditions or from being in a crate for too long. For more on this condition, read our article on TheMeatEater.com called Cold Weather Bird Dog Concerns. Now all you dog owners in the room, who has seen Broken Wag? I have. I definitely have. My dog doesn't have a tail, so how

would I know? My dog's tail is too short. It looks painful for him. Like a happy dog that can't wag his tail. Yeah, it just wags its whole butt. Without wagging its tail, really. Yeah, my dog gets depressed. It happens to him a lot actually. Yeah, from what? Playing in the snow somehow like if he's bounding through the snow, I don't know if he pulls something back there. Does it take about a week to heal then? Yeah.

And just for a week he just sits and cowers. Is it like a dislocated tail? No, it's just like a muscle sprain. Yeah, yeah, and he'll just like his tail tucked through his legs. And you see it a lot with water because they use their tail as like a rotor sprain. Yeah, and he'll just, like, his tail tucked through his legs. And you see it a lot with water because they use their tail as, like, a rotor a little bit, too, when they're swimming. Muskrats. Brody starts out 0 for 1. Why do you have to point that out?

Another way you can get it, Mingus got it this way, is he jumped out of the truck when the truck was doing probably 25 or 30 and did a couple somersaults out into the sagebrush. Well, if that's the worst that came out of that experience, then it seems okay. He had a little bit of blood in his stool, you know, so it wasn't great. We were a little scared, but he seems to have recovered. Was there a cat track that he got excited about? We don't know.

We don't know. We were just cruising along, and he learned how he went he learned his lesson he hasn't done that since okay question two the topic is fishing according to npr this is television's longest running program event ever which is dedicated to correcting misconceptions about dangerous fish according According to NPR, this is television's longest-running programming event ever, which is dedicated to correcting misconceptions about dangerous fish. Is this show still on?

Not going to give any hints. A quick answer from Max. Not so much. Quick guess. The rest of the room. One more time here. According to NPR, this is television's longest running programming event ever, which is dedicated to correcting misconceptions about dangerous fish. Max, you think you got this one?

I don't know. This is the only thing I could think of. Really? So. Rest of the room starting to come up with some answers. I don't like these questions about watching TV, man. I'm with you, Brody. It's like...

I only make it, I don't watch it. Yeah. Only make it, don't watch it. Television's longest running programming event ever. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying river monsters. Rick saying NPR fish show.

Brody saying shark week. Hansi saying dangerous fish. Maggie without an answer. Corey saying deadliest catch. Seth saying dangerous fish. And Giannis saying shark week. We have a correct answer in the room. It is Shark Week.

Since 1987, Shark Week has been put on by the Discovery Channel every summer. It's considered the best conservation movement on their behalf. Hosts of the programming event have included Les Stroud, Shaquille O'Neal, Mike Rowe, Andy Samberg,

and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. It was in there, wasn't it? In your head, that answer? Didn't they make... Yeah, I've never watched one second of Shark Week. I haven't either, but you know about it. I do know about it. Wasn't there a thing a few years ago

where they made Tyson jump in a shark cage or something and he was freaking out? They've kind of moved a little bit away from their ethos of making educational content about sharks. It's become more of a spectacle. Yeah. And then they had a new CEO that took over like a few years ago, said no more of that stuff. Like they made some movie, I think, that was adjacent to Sharknado.

And they had like Michael Phelps race a shark. So it really devolved. But now it's coming back to where they once were. Good to hear. Question three. The topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by John Honeycutt for sending this great question. John is going to get a one year premium subscription to OnX. If you want a chance to win our OnX listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. America's largest amphibian, which is sometimes called the devil dog,

is considered a threatened species. What is it? America's largest amphibian, which is sometimes called the devil dog, is considered a threatened species. What is it? Brody with the quickest answer in the room. Brody, you know this one? Well, I got it written down. We'll see if I decide to change it if anything else pops up. Brody, I think I beat you, actually.

Oh, Maggie. Maggie with the quickest answer. Maggie, you know this one? Devil dog? Let Spencer have it, you know? He's focused too much on me, anyway. That's right. The limnologist here. I'm trying to fill in for Steve's banter because I normally don't talk on these.

America's largest amphibian, which is sometimes called the devil dog, is considered a threatened species. I got all kinds of questions about the word largest, too. What is it? I'm thinking devil dog. There's many ways to categorize. I think by weight. Really? I think by devil dog. There's many ways to categorize. I think by weight. Really? I think by every measurement.

It's the largest. Can you say the question one more time? America's largest amphibian, which is sometimes called the devil dog, is considered a threatened species. What is it? A few more folks coming up with answers, but much of the room looks stumped. It's just the devil dog that's stumping me. Well, forget about that part then,

Max. Just what is America's largest antinomian? Does that help you? No. Yanni? I have three answers written down, Spencer. That's how confident I am Show them to me

Let's see what you're working with You gonna pick one? Did you look down or did you look up? Or to the left or to the right? I looked at all three answers Was this North or South America? In America Does everybody have an answer?

North America's big I wasn't really thinking about Oh Brody Now it's America I didn't say North America's big. I wasn't really thinking about Oh, Brody. Now it's America. I didn't say North America or South America. Like our 50 states. That's the United States, not America. United States. Does everybody have an answer? I'm not writing

one down. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max without an answer. Oh, Brody. Rick saying salamander. Brody saying hellbender. Hansi saying gila monster. Marge saying giant salamander, Brody saying hellbender, Hansi saying gila monster, Marge saying giant salamander, Corey saying newt, Seth saying hellbender, and Giannis saying nematode.

We have a correct answer in the room. It's hellbender. Brody and Seth got it. Good old Pennsylvania boys know their amphibians. Hellbenders can grow up to... What is this thing? Hellbenders can grow up to 30 inches long and weigh up to 5 pounds. There are two subspecies of hellbenders, which are the eastern hellbender and ozark hellbender.

Other nicknames for the salamander include snot otter, allegheny alligator, and lasagna lizard. I'm glad I didn't write coyote out. The largest thing was throwing me, though, because I've seen some heavy-duty bullfrogs in my time. So I checked, and the heaviest bullfrog I could find did not beat the heaviest hellbender. You're doing hell work. I like it, Spencer.

Question four. The topic is public lands. Located on the border of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, this is considered America's deepest river gorge. Located on the border of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, this is considered America's deepest river gorge. Do we have anybody in this room who's from Oregon, Washington, or Idaho? I don't think so. Phil. Phil. Phil.

Phil, do you know this one? I would have known the river, not the name of the gorge. Deepest river gorge. Are you accepting the name of the river? You tell me what the deepest river gorge is in America, and I'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Max, you're always trying to get away with something. I don't think he's going to accept the name of the river, Max. Does everybody have

an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying, what's that say, Max? Owyhee River Gorge. Rick saying Hell's Canyon. Brody saying Hell's Canyon. Hansi saying Hell's Canyon. Marge saying Columbia River Gorge. Corey saying Hell's Canyon. Whatge sang Columbia River Gorge. Corey sang Hell's

Canyon. What did you cross out there, Corey? Snake. Seth sang Hell's Canyon. Yanni sang Hell's Canyon. They got it. It is Hell's Canyon or the Snake River Canyon. Either answer. Oh, you would have taken the river. I would have taken Snake River Canyon.

Hell's Canyon is a 10-mile-wide gorge that's 8,000 feet deep, which is 2,000 feet deeper than the Grand Canyon. The top of the canyon was formed by volcanoes over the last 300 million years, and the bottom of the canyon has been carved out by the Snake River over the last 15,000 years. Hell's Canyon. Question five. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is gear. This next great question comes to us via Cody Spivey. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia,

you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. This scientific term refers to the influence that Earth's rotation has on a bullet's trajectory. Very quick answers from Brody, Giannis, and Rick. Rest of the room, not so much. Come on, Seth. Corey? rest of the room not so much come on seth cory it's a scientific term refers to the influence that earth's rotation has on a bullet trajectory you know while some people are still working on their answers you guys remember that skit

on snl when uh will ferrell was playing Trebek and then I forget who was playing Burt Reynolds. Norm MacDonald. Norm MacDonald, that's right. I can watch it over and over, but I feel like we need that character in here to just give bad answers to Spencer. The Burt Reynolds character.

The Connery was good in there. Oh, Sean Connery. But they played Sean Connery. That's who would be the best. They're the best SNL skits. Sometimes we just organically have folks that provide bad answers, so you get that anyway. Me. This question might be one of them.

Does everybody have an answer for the scientific term that refers to the influence that Earth's rotation has on a bullet's trajectory? I bet Shelby didn't know this one. I was gonna say. Giannis was quick on a draw on this one. Okay. Does everybody have an answer? Just put something

Max. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max without an answer. Rick saying Coriolis effect. Brody saying rotational drift. Hansi saying centrifugal force. Marge without an answer. Corey. Hansi saying centrifugal force. Marge without an answer. Corey saying velocity. Centrifugal force.

Oh, Sut saying ojive. Janice saying Coriolis effect. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Coriolis effect, which Janice and Rick got. The Coriolis effect is negligible at most hunting applications,

but becomes noticeable when shooting out to 800 yards or more. In the northern hemisphere, if you're shooting north or south, your bullet will hit right of target. In the southern hemisphere, if you're shooting north or south, your bullet will hit left of target. In both hemispheres, if you're shooting east, you'll hit high. And if you're shooting west, you'll hit low. Now, Rick, is this something that you have to account for when you're doing some long-range shooting, or do you not worry about the Coriolis effect? It depends on what you consider long-range. Most hunting, like if you're 800 or in, no, you're not really.

But beyond that, depending on the cartridge, yeah, you want to start thinking about it. But I would say most shooters in America do not need to worry about that ever. Corey Olsfect, was that in your head, Brody? Did you have it up there somewhere? No, I would not have gotten that. We are halfway through the game of trivia. Now, before we get a scoreboard

update, Maggie, we are going to give you Giant Salamander. I looked, and some people call them that. It refers to also the giant salamanders that live in Asia. But I like you, Maggie, so we're going to give you a point. Phil, knowing that, give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, sure thing.

Well, we got Max in dead last with one point, though. He's on the board this time. And then coming up behind or ahead of him, we've got Maggie, Hansi, and Corey all with two points apiece. Now with Maggie's addendum

and now on Seth, Rick, and Brody all have three points and in first place it's Giannis Petelis with four points. I love the way you say my name, Phil.

I love saying your name. We need more dog questions, Spencer. 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, our northern brothers get irritated.

Question six. The topic is conservation What chemical compound Nearly drove bald eagles To extinction in the 1960s Very quick answers from Brody And Rick And Seth

And Hansi You got it Giannis Mine was quick but I don't know if it's right. What chemical compound nearly drove bald eagles to extinction in the 1960s? I think I have it. I think I do. Max, you're really not worried about anyone looking at your board, are you? Everyone else already has their answers.

Lay it flat on the table. What chemical compound nearly drove bald eagles to extinction in the 1960s? Max, I heard that you have a group of friends who get together and listen to trivia and then there's a punishment for who gets last. Tell us about that.

Yeah, it's just this group of friends that listens to trivia and they usually do like dinners or something and listen to trivia while they eat. And then punishment is either like running around the house in the snow with no shoes on. Whoever

loses has to do the dishes. Just miscellaneous stuff like that. How do you think you'd shape up in that conversation? I don't know. I'm not going over there for dinners anytime soon. His feet would have frostbite. Again, what chemical compound nearly drove bald eagles to extinction

in the 1960s? Does everybody have an answer? Max? Corey? Yeah, I got one. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying carbon monoxide. Rick, Brody, Hansi, Maggie all saying DDT. Corey saying lead.

Seth and Giannis saying DDT. They got it. The correct answer is DDT. Bald eagle populations were at an all-time low in 1963 with only 417 nesting pairs left ddt which was a pesticide used to kill malaria carrying mosquitoes was banned in 1972 the chemical caused eagle eggs to become soft and failed during incubation how many of those buggers around now they're everywhere 70 000 it's it's wildly uh up there question seven the topic is cooking this next great question comes to us via jake anderson if you have a question you think it's

right for meat eater trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com what is the main ingredient used to make cannibal sandwiches and tiger meat what What is the main ingredient used to make cannibal sandwiches and tiger meat? I need you to be specific with your answer. Topic is cooking. I'm looking for the main ingredient in cannibal

sandwiches and tiger meat. Giannis, going back to earlier, the Coriolis effect. Shelby did not get that one right. Did not get that one right. Did not have that one. Max, you know this? Yeah, you got to be a little bit of a gun nerd. Max, I feel like you should know this. I feel like I should too.

I think my girlfriend would be pretty upset with me if I get this one wrong. What is the main ingredient used to make cannibal sandwiches and tiger meat? Be more specific about being specific. It needs you to be specific. That's not, like, that could be a cut of meat. That could be a species of animal.

That could be anything. We didn't know it was meat until Brody just said it. Could have been, like, wood. just said it. Could have been like, what, wood? That is true. Could have been wood. Nothing. Cannibal sandwiches, though, that should give that away. I'm not gonna

give you any further hints. We'll use our judgment here on if you got it or not. Does everybody have an answer? Nope. I need 30 more seconds. I've had tiger meat before, but I've never made it. Okay. Someone in this room made me tiger meat.

Brody, you got an answer? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying ground beef. Rick saying meat. Brody saying raw meat. Hansi saying raw venison. Maggie without an answer.

Corey saying monkey cheeks. Seth saying ground meat. Yana saying ground venison. The correct answer is raw ground meat. Now, if you just said ground meat, I'll give that to you. Okay, I didn't give it to them? Of your specific kind of meat? Don't be erasing stuff yet.

Let's see the answers here. If you said ground something, I'll give it to you. If you said raw something, I'll give it to you. Who wrote ground without saying raw? Because I didn't give you a point. Seth, Max. Hansi said raw. And raw meat is good.

I'll take raw meat or ground meat. The specific answer would be raw ground meat. Isn't there like two ingredients? German communities in the Great Plains refer to it as tiger meat, while those around the Great Lakes call it a cannibal sandwich. The appetizer is made of raw ground meat, raw eggs, raw onions, hot sauce, and lots of spices, and is often served at Super Bowl parties, wedding receptions, and holiday get-togethers.

Yeah, let that sit out on a table in the summer heat for a while. If you want to make it for yourself, then go to TheMeatEater.com and check out my recipe for venison tiger meat. And what Giannis was referring to was the Christmas party, I think, three years ago. Yeah. I brought some venison tiger meat. What do you do with the leftovers there? Oh, it's great.

You put it in a fridge, and then the next day, you make it for breakfast or something. It's just like heavily- Like cook it. Yeah. It's like heavily spiced ground meat. So you can do anything with it. Turn it into patties, throw it in with your eggs. You got to keep it cold, though, while it's out.

For sure. You got to keep it cold. Spencer, what was the place you said had the best- Kessler's in Aberdeen has the best tiger meat I've ever had. Seth and Rick were just in Aberdeen. We never stopped at Kessler's. I think the bar is pretty low when it comes to tiger meat. When you say best, like how good can it be?

Very good. We're on question eight. The topic is fishing. What underwear brand supposedly changed their logo because of the bad luck it brought fishermen? Quick answer from Hansi, Brody, Giannis, Max. Again, the question is what underwear brand supposedly changed their logo because of the bad luck it brought fishermen? Rest of the room starting to file in with answers.

Seems like everyone's feeling good about it. Except for Seth. Yeah. Doesn't wear underwear when he's fishing. Nope. Bad luck. That's how superstitious he is. He just wears a raincoat.

That's it. Daffy ducks it. There's a Donald Duck. I don't know. Stay tuned for more of that and Montana Walleye Tour. That's right. What underwear brand supposedly changed their logo? Because of the bad luck, it brought fishermen.

Seth, I think we're just waiting on you. It's not First Light, Seth. Corey, you know this one? No. Second slowest answer in the room, but you don't think you know it. I got a really great answer, though. Is it a company that specifically makes underwear, or is it a clothing brand? I can give you any hints. What underwear brand supposedly changed their logo because of the bad luck it brought fishermen?

Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Banana Republic. Rick saying Fruit of the Loom. Brody, Hansi, Maggie all saying Fruit of the Loom. Corey saying Banana Republic. Seth saying Lucky. Giannis saying Fruit of the Loom.

The room did very well. The answer is Fruit of the Loom. The story goes that a Fruit of the Loom executive was on a fishing charter that wasn't having any luck. The captain said it was because of the banana on the logo of their underwear, which caused them to rip off their tags and throw them in the ocean. After that, they couldn't keep fish off their line. But this was proved to be a hoax, which Joe Cermelli covered on our website. If you want to learn more on this story, then go to TheMeadEater.com

and read our article called Barroom Banter, Did Fishing Superstition Change Our Underpants Forever? Do you think they were just in a bad fishing spot during the time before they ripped off the tags? There's quite a there's like a lot to this story. Like I said, you need to go read Joe's article

on how this myth came to be and what the real story is on Fruit of the Loom and bananas. Does it come down to marketing? No. No. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. And unfortunately, we have to bid adieu to Max, Corey, and Maggie.

Oh. Thanks for playing. Corey, a usual strong competitor. Out of the game with two questions left. I don't know my underwear that well, I guess. But still in the game, we have Seth, Rick, and Hansi with five points apiece. Brody with six, and Giannis Patellis holding

strong in first place with seven points. Only has one wrong answer so far. That's only one, a cushion of one. It's not strong, I don't think. That's true. I'm still writing down my answers, though. Yeah, you can keep playing. Question nine.

The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question comes to us via Mike Steffen. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What are the three colors on a coral snake? What are the three colors on a coral snake? What are the three colors on a coral snake? Very quick answers from the whole room. This might be one where everybody gets it.

What are the three colors on a coral snake? I don't know about everybody getting it. Yeah. Giannis with the slowest answer, the man in the lead. Maybe he's just trying to give Brody some hope, playing head games. Yeah, he might be messing. Looking for the three colors. No chit chat. On a coral snake.

Well, Giannis is writing his answer down. Has anyone ever seen a coral snake? I think so. Only on Animal Planet. Listen, you can't be talking. It's too much information. Maybe not. Hold that seat.

Because Giannis could have been with Seth when he saw it. Okay. Fair point. That snake? Are you sure it wasn't a milk snake? Fair point. Very similar. There's a little rhyme that goes along with this snake.

And if I could just remember that little rhyme, then I could have the right answer. Yanni, running out of time. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Oh, I like the countdown. Six. Five. Boy, that's a lot of pressure. Four. This could put Brody tied for the lead. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Boy, that's a lot of pressure. This could put Brody tied for the lead. I'm ready. Everybody else have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying red, white, black. Rick saying red, yellow, black. Brody saying red, black, yellow.

Hansi saying yellow, red, brown. Maggie saying black, red, white. Corey saying red, white, yellow. Hansi sang yellow, red, brown. Maggie sang black, red, white. Corey sang red, white, black. Seth sang red, yellow, black. Giannis sang red, black, white. I couldn't remember. Red touches yellow. Kill a fellow.

The correct answer is red, black, and yellow. Ah! Yes. As Brody just said, the poem that helps you remember this is red on yellow, kill a fella, red on black, a friend to Jack. This rhyme is supposed to remind you that coral

snakes are a highly venomous species, while imposters are not. It's mostly accurate for the United States, but doesn't hold true for the rest of the world. The imposter is a king snake? I think also Corey pointed out a milk snake. There's quite a few

that have evolved to look very similar to a coral snake. I'm going to fight this one a little bit because brown, I mean black is like an absence of color. How many points you got? I mean, he's got a decent amount, but he's...

He's got five. If he gave him this, he would still be in the game, technically. I don't think it's right. Especially when you go by the rhyme. I like you, Hansi,

but not enough to give you brown. I just stay away from all snakes. Question 10. Give us another scoreboard update, Phil, for where we stand with Yanni getting that wrong. Yeah, well, Rick and Seth are tied with six points,

and now Brody and Yannis are tied with seven. Down to the wire. Question 10. The topic is hunting. My favorite. Name two. You don't do that. Name two of the top three states with the most mountain goat entries in the Boone and Crockett record books.

Name two of the top three states with the most mountain goat entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. If I get all three, do I automatically win? No. Go from two to ten. Golden snitch question. Name two of the top three states with the most mountain goat entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. Phil, did I use that reference right?

You did. It's one of the dumbest rules of Quidditch. It's so stupid. What are the other dumb rules? The whole game's kind of dumb, but the fact that you catch this ball and your team... She realized it was really dumb after she wrote it, so then in the fourth book,

someone catches the snitch and still loses because the other team scored so many points with the quaffle. I'll shut up now. I'm so sorry. Ken, the question is, name two of the top three states with the most mountain goat entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. Remind you that Giannis and Brody are tied.

And I would give those two the best chance of getting this one right. Everybody ready? Yeah, let's go. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Max saying Alaska, Colorado. Rick saying Alaska, Colorado. Brody saying Alaska, Montana. Hansi without an answer.

Maggie saying Wyoming, Alaska. Corey saying Wyoming, Montana. Seth saying Alaska, Idaho. Giannis saying Alaska and Washington. The three states are Alaska, Montana, and Washington, which gives Giannis and Brody the correct answer. Alaska has had 317 mountain goat entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. That's followed by Montana at 110, Washington at 87, Utah at 78, and Nevada at 44. Brody and Giannis both have

eight correct answers, which means we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker. You ain't first, you're last. Best of luck, Giannis. That doesn't make any sense at all. Thanks, Brody. You too. First, you're last. You can be second, you can be third, fourth, hell, you can even be fifth. The tie-breaking question. The topic is hunting. What is the average cost to get a white-tailed deer shoulder mounted as of December 2022? I got this number by looking at the prices from over 30 taxidermists across the country. What is the average cost to get a white-tailed deer shoulder-mounted as of December 2022? Write your answer to two decimal places. So if you think it's, write your answer like $1.05, something like that.

Giannis, how many deer do you have shoulder-mounted? Zero. Brody, how many deer do you have shoulder-mount Zero. Brody, how many deer do you have shoulder mounted? Okay. Because you know how much it costs to make a skull mount yourself? Zero. Zero. The rest of the room can play along, but

it only matters what Giannis and Brody say. There's gonna be a winner. That's why you need to write to two decimal places. Bro'm thinking about playing some dirty pool here. You need to write to two decimal places. Brody, you feel good

about this? Nah, I mean, I think there's like a $500 ballpark that it falls into. I have a question. Did you spread this across the whole,

like your 30 sample, the whole country? Yeah, I was looking at New York, Kentucky, Montana, Texas, and I looked at 30, over 30 different taxidermists. Giannis, you feel okay about this? Yep.

I feel like you two grew up in the shoulder deer mounting capitals of the world. Yeah, but it was a lot cheaper back then. That's right. It's still cheaper. I definitely know how much some people have paid for them in the past. When was this? When's this from? Yesterday.

No. I pulled this data yesterday. Brody, I like your point there. I recently had some taxidermy done, and it might be my last piece. You're telling me, man. Oh, that's right. You did too. Does everybody who's going to come up with an answer have an answer?

Brody, I like your point. The European amounts are zero. Yep. That's what's nice about it. Well, you know, you got a few bucks invested and shit. Brody, you're still point. The European amounts are zero. Yep. That's what's nice about it. Well, you know, you got a few bucks invested and shit. Brody, you're still writing over there. Yep. You have an answer?

To two decimal places? I got a good one. Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Rick saying $625.50. Hansi saying $276.14. Oh, I wish. Saying $1,250.50. And our two competitors left.

We have Brody saying $899.50. And Giannis saying $700.01. One of you is within $5 of the correct answer. Holy shit. Which is quite amazing for two fellas who have zero deer that are shoulder mounted. The correct answer is

$695 and 31 cents, making Giannis our winner. Well done, Giannis. That is a hell of a guess. That's as good as hitting it right on the nose. It's getting within $5. That's great. The lowest I saw was $475

and the highest I saw was $900, so a $425 difference between the top and the bottom of the market. That actually sounds cheap to me. It does. I got a deer shoulder mounted probably a decade

ago and it was $600. You must have went to a good taxidermist. Yeah, it was a good taxidermist. Yeah, I think that's including all these guys doing it in their garage. Like, hey, you'll do this for me? $695.31. Giannis, as the winner, you get to choose where a $500 donation goes.

So what's it going to be? I'm going to choose the Montana Wilderness School. Without going into too much detail, just think like an outward bound program, but for Montana kids specifically. You need to go into more detail, though, because I don't even know what this is. Well, it's basically a program that gets kids outdoors. All different kinds of adventures over the summer. Mountain climbing, rock climbing, kayaking. They teach hunting, trapping even. It's a great program,

and it gets a lot of Montana kids specifically out into the woods. Yep. Trying to get my kid in there for a little. I like it. First time we have ever donated there one more time. What's it called, Yanni? The Montana Wilderness School. Well done, Yanni.

It was a good fight that you let Brody come back. I know. I had a lead going into question eight last week, and Hayden came back and beat me, so I was feeling it. I think it's worth pointing out that Yanni is on a tear recently. He is. He's doing great. I said this before.

It happens. I don't think Yanni understood the game when we started playing, and now when I send out an invite, Yanni's the first one to reply. He says, I will be there. I will not go mountain lion hunting just so I can come win. You're confusing me with Steven Ronell. You think so? Well done, Yanni.
