Welcome to Meat-Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Giannis Poutelis, Ryan Callahan, Brody Henderson, Chester Floyd, Hayden Samick,

Corey Calkins, and Hansi Dershamier. God, I messed that up again. I'm sorry, Hans. I even checked with you. It's Dershamier. Dershamier. Dershamier. How do you choose the order that you introduce the guests? I look in my invite on Google. So I don't say Phil's name, though.

Phil's always with us. Hi. You invited me first is what you're saying. I think so. Now, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 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. And each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week,

we're looking at questions asked where no one gets the right answer. Now, after going through every episode and looking at nearly 500 questions, here's what I found. 7% of questions are answered incorrectly by the entire room. So this week, we're adding a new installment where before we play, I'm going to ask you guys one of the 0% questions to see if you've retained anything from Meat Eater Trivia. But hold on, that doesn't count in the main game? It's not part of the game. Not part of the game. Oh, a little bonus fun. That's right.

We're just going to see what you learned. Here's the first one. This was from episode 339, and the topic was fishing. If you know the answer, you can just shout it out. In 1998, Congress voted to make this body of water the sixth Great Lake, but had the status removed 18 days later after a nationwide uproar. Lake Champlain. You remember that?

Yeah, I mean, don't, because don't, like, you tell us the answers after everyone gets them wrong. He said retaining it. This is the experiment, Brody. We're going to see if you remembered what the answers were. Were you not listening to what he just said? I don't think we have a good listener in the room. We have an angry listener in the room. No, I just, I don't. we have a good listener in the room. We have an angry listener in the room.

Grumpy listener. It's got nothing to do with this. Alright, I got it right. It's Lake Champlain. The answers that we had given were Lake St. Clair and Lake Tahoe, but as Grumpy Brody said, the correct answer was Lake Champlain.

This has nothing to do with being grumpy. We're just repeating answers that were already given. Which wasandway. This has nothing to do with being grumpy. We're just like repeating answers that were already given. Which was the point. Are you new to the show? I think it's hilarious that there is a quote nationwide uproar. I cannot see me sitting here in Montana being like I am

furious about the idea of adding another Great Lake. Well here we're going to reiterate some more for you, Brody. It was passed in a bill by a Vermont senator who just snuck a sentence in there, right? And he was dedicating a bunch of funding, like $30 million to the Great Lakes.

And he's like, oh, by the way, we have a sixth Great Lake now. And then 18 days later, the New York Times discovered it, and that's what created the nationwide uproar. Oh, because that lake is touches or is in vermont so he's gonna get a chunk of the change yeah it was gonna like benefit that community and the universities around there but only 18 days it lasted those super liberal universities out there in vermont i don't need any more politicians yeah exactly now we have some house doctrine state which i always find interesting. It's the what? Castle Doctrine State.

Explain that to me. It's the every man's castle argument of self-defense. So you can shoot somebody if you feel like your property or yourself is threatened. They used to have a pike shooting season. Still do. Shoot pike with guns. Pat Durkin has written about it for TheMeatEater.com. Yeah, I know that.

Is there any weapon restriction? Is it 10 gauge or under? I have no idea, man. Memory like a steel trap on Brody. No idea. No, we have some housekeeping. I think it would be fun as hell to shoot some pike. We have some housekeeping to get to before we play.

In our previous episode, we had a question about how lacrosse is America's oldest team sport, which was invented by Native Americans. This was a fact that I verified through the History Channel, Washington Post, and Encyclopedia Britannica. But about a dozen listeners wrote in saying that stickball, which was also invented by Native Americans, is older than lacrosse. So far, though, I've been unable to find anyone who declares stickball North America's oldest team sport. With that said, here's why I'd accept stickball as a correct answer. Although the modern versions of stickball and lacrosse are different sports, some sources

say that at one time they were the same game being played by different tribes. Although the history for both is fragmented, it appears that lacrosse and stickball can each claim the title of America's oldest team sport. So if you said lacrosse or stickball, you got that one right. 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? Just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is biology. This first great question comes to us via Brian Reardon. 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 not monogamous? Is it bald eagles, coyotes, snapping turtles, or barn owls? Which of these animals is not monogamous? That means three of the four are. Bald eagles, coyotes, snapping turtles, or barn owls? This is patently false, what you're saying. Just saying.

Yes. Okay, we can argue afterwards. No, it's not an argument. We like to believe that these animals exist with the same sort of monogamous definition that people do. Be mine forever. Right, exactly. Oh, but you

ran into a power line. So, um... A widower? I'm not monogamous anymore. Again, bald eagles, coyotes, snapping turtles, or barn owls. Cal, do you have an answer? I don't. I mean, zero. You are not monogamous.

I think right now this is what Cal is thinking right here. Is not monogamous. Bald eagles, coyotes, snapping turtles, barn owls. Bard or barn? Barn. B-A-R-N. That changes everything. Barn owl.

Okay. I don't see you changing your answer. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis saying snapping turtles. Hayden saying coyotes. Hansi saying snappers. Brody saying sna. Hayden saying coyotes. Hansi saying snappers. Brody saying snappers.

Corey saying coyotes. Cal saying snappers. Chester saying coyotes. The correct answer is snapping turtles. What? There is no way the coyotes. You're correct, Hayden. Coyotes are some of the most devout mates on the planet.

Until one gets shot. Coyotes are some of the most devout mates on the planet. What the shit, dude? Cue the nature documentary music. One study in Illinois found that among 236 coyotes, not a single one found a new mate until the previous one died. This bond carries over to parenting, with both the mother and father helping raise the pups. The rate at which coyotes die. They are monogamous.

You're wrong, Hayden. Coyotes are monogamous. Of course the answer was C. I was monogamous all last season until. So how polyamorous are these snapping turtles? Oh, they like have a whole mating dance and stuff they do.

Yeah, snappers just like every springtime they find a new mate. Question two. The topic is foraging. To be classified as this type of liquor, the recipe must have juniper berries in it.

What is it? To be classified as this type of liquor, the recipe must have juniper berries in it. What is it? Very quick answers from almost the entire room, except Corey. Corey looks stumped. Could be a trick question. You think so?

You know what I learned from a dude in the liquor business? No. That this particular type of liquor had a history. You're going to help some folks out here. Of not being regulated with the same like proof system. So it was often mislabeled as lower alcohol content, which.

That explains some things. Yeah. To be classified as this type of liquor. I don't know if it's true, but I like it because there were some incidents in my past. That's right. It's one of my favorites, though. Okay. We're really helping Corey out here.

Oh, thanks, Chester. To be classified as this type of liquor, the recipe must have juniper berries in it. Does everybody have an answer? Corey? Ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis and Hayden and Hansi and Brody and Corey and Cal and Chester. Everybody says gin and they got it.

The correct answer is gin. Gin and juice, Corey wrote, though. Juniper berries provide gin with a sharp, piney flavor that carries a hint of citrus. The use of juniper berries in gin dates back to the 17th century in the Netherlands. If you want to learn how to harvest your own, then go to TheMeatEater.com and read Jenna Roselle's article called How to Forage for Juniper Berries. Question three, the topic is fishing. What brand of boat has won the most Bassmaster Classics? Brand of boat? What brand of boat has won the most Bassmaster Classics. Brand of boat?

What brand of boat has won the most Bassmaster Classics? Is Sparkly a brand? No. That's a jean company. What brand of boat has won the most Bassmaster Classics? I'm having a hard time just thinking of the bass boat. Yeah, I don't know. Corey and Cal, coming up with an answer now, but they don't look confident.

Not at all. It's yet to write anything. It was a short period of my life where I dreamed about owning one. And then what? Is that right? Yeah. I grew up in Michigan. One of those real fast, sparkly ones? Hell yeah.

Yeah. But I'm more interested in that seat up front. Looks like a ball in the water. Just sleigh cast in every direction from that seat and controlling your controlling motor. Does everybody have an answer? No, no, no. How much more time do I have?

Till this isn't interesting anymore. Which means we're going to hurry up. What boat has won the most Bassmaster Classics? Chester, you got a whole TV show dedicated to fishing off of fancy boats. That you can watch right now on YouTube. They don't use those walleye boats to fish for bass, Cal. No.

They're real selective. Alright. Does anybody have an answer? Hansi? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis saying Skeeter. Hayden saying Ranger. Hansi saying Sea Nymph.

Brody saying Tracker. Corey saying Lund. Cal saying Mastercraft. Ranger. Hansi sang Sea Nymph. Brody sang Tracker. Corey sang Lund. Cal sang Mastercraft. And Chester sang Tracker. Somebody got it right. The correct answer is Ranger. Nice. Well done, Hayden.

The winning boat in the Bassmaster Classic has been a Ranger 19 times. That's followed by nitro at seven times and triton, skeeter, and bass cat three times. There was a stretch from 1981 to 1998 where ranger was the winning boat 14 out of 18 years. That's saying something.

Question four, the topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Adam Smith. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. What word describes the external nest of a squirrel that's created by a mass of twigs and leaves? What word describes the external nest of a squirrel that's created

by a mass of twigs and leaves? It's probably not squirrel nest. Giannis with a quick answer. Hansi and Brody coming up with one. That is another name for it, but it would not be accepted as an answer. Do you know this one,

Gianni? Yes. Took me a second. What's the other one that wouldn not be accepted as an answer. Do you know this one, Yanni? Yes. Okay. Took me a second. What's the other one that wouldn't be accepted? Target? Squirrel nest. What word describes the external nest of a squirrel that's created by a mass of twigs and leaves? You have to tell us what the internal word is

because I'm dying to know now. Oh, for a squirrel's nest inside of a tree. Spencer implies that there is a... We can talk about it afterwards. Does everybody have an answer? External and an internal. Brody, do you know this one? No.

Giannis might be the only one who gets it right. Maybe. I don't have a clue. Because everybody who's coming up with an answer have an answer. But I like the question. Okay. When we were down in Arkansas a couple weeks ago,

I pointed at one and I said, hey, that's a squirrel nest, isn't it? And the guy was like, yep. He's like, nope, it's called a blank. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis saying Dre, Hayden saying Cash, Hansi saying Basket, Brody saying Bundle, Cordy saying Roost, Cal saying Ball, Chester saying Cubby. Gianni got it.

The correct answer is Dre. That's D-R-E-Y. I think an internal nest, that's why I had to, like, specify and say external, because you could say, like, a den or a cavity nest, something like that. That's why I had to specify and say external nest. Oh, I was thinking there might be, like, a word for the inner core of the squirrel ball in the tree. No, no. The sanctum.

Yeah, the sanctum sanctoris. Other animals that live in drays include flying squirrels and ring-tailed possums. Usually the outside of a dray is made of branches and bark, while the inside has finer materials like grass, moss, and leaves. If you want to learn how to coax squirrels out of drays, then go listen to episode 259 of the Meat Eater podcast, where we interview Dr. John Kaprowski who steve refers to as the squirrel doctor now brody and cal i think you two might have been on that episode where we

talked about i've never teased one out of a squirrel yes it's not your worst feeling and watching one of those suckers get into there but he had a hot tip for how to get him out of there can you like 259 scratch in the leaves? Is that what you do? Now, Dr. John Kapowski, he recommended that you like scratch the bark of the tree, and it made it sound like other squirrels were running around there, and that might get them out. Question five. The topic is public lands.

What state leads the country in avalanche deaths? Ooh. What state leads the country in avalanche deaths? This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. What vertical does this one fall under? Public lands. Is that acceptable?

Ten years. Stretching it. You know, that off-road fuel tax pays for a lot of trails. What state leads the country in avalanche deaths? I didn't make the connection, though. Quick answers from everybody in the room. Is everybody ready to reveal? I think so.

Yeah, I'm guessing, but... Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis and Hayden saying Colorado. Hansi saying Utah. Brody and Corey saying Colorado. Cal saying Utah. Chester saying Wyoming. The correct answer is Colorado.

Yeah. From 1951 to 2021, Colorado had 305 avalanche deaths. That's followed by Alaska at 166, Washington at 132, Utah at 128, Montana at 123, and Wyoming at 95. North Dakota, which is one of the flattest states in America, has had one avalanche death ever. Wow. I'd like to see how many are human-caused avalanches and how many are just like people getting caught in an avalanche. I know. Well, there's gotta be mostly human-caused, right? The famous one in Missoula that they used to use in search and rescue classes quite a bit was, you know, in regards to like your grid pattern for finding people,

is a couple of kids were skiing on the L in Missoula, which is a noticeable feature, and cut an avalanche loose that wiped out an old couple's house. No shit. Yeah, with them inside of it. I would imagine most of those deaths occurred on public land, Yanni. That's why I think it falls under that category. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, we've got a nice spread of points here. In last place is Chester with one. Hansi and Corey have two points apiece, as well as Cal. Hayden and Brody have three. And Giannis is in first place with four points. Let's go, Chester. Let's go. Second half, baby. Hayden and Brody have three. And Giannis is in first place with four points. Crush it. Let's go, Chester.

Let's go. Second half, baby. Rally cap. Second half intensity. I've been coaching my girls' basketball team. Oh, no way. How's that going? I'm always trying to rally. Well, thank you.

I appreciate that. And your wife coaches volleyball, right? That's right. A couple of coachy parents. I don't feel bad at this one, though, at all. No fishing questions? No. It was like, I feel I had two answers that I was like,

Colorado or Wyoming or Ranger or Tracker, and I just guessed the wrong one on both of those. Are there other episodes, though, where you just feel really bad afterwards? Real dumb. To be honest, the basketball team must not be doing real good if you said kind of specialize in rallying. No, we're one and I don't know how many games we play. Hey, folks.

onxmaps.com slash meet. onxmaps.com slash meet. Welcome to the OnX Club, y'all. Question six. The topic is woodsmanship. Who hosted the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild? Brody had commentary before he even finished the question. And he's writing a quick answer. He knows it.

Still grumpy. Who hosted the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild? It's got to be a British accent. I feel like they specialize in that. Can't be an authority unless you sound like you're from the uk for sure who hosted the discovery channel show man versus wild bro do you know this one oh my god i can't remember yes okay quick answers for most of the room yanni's still trying to come up with one i'm trying to remember if we mentioned this guy's name in the Meat Eater Survival book.

I feel like it would be natural to. I think we may have. This type of pop culture, I'm not really into here. Corey, you Googling the answer over there? I'm not. I'm trying to sell some skis. Okay. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying Bear Grylls, Hayden, and Hans... No, Hayden's saying Bear Grylls. Hansi's saying Byron Dumbrill. Brody's saying Bear Grylls. Corey's saying Bear Grylls. Cal's saying Sir David Attenborough. And Chester's saying Bear Grylls.

The correct answer is Bear Grylls. I'd be better with that, Burl. Man vs. Wild lasted seven seasons between 2006 and 2011. Bear found himself embroiled in controversy on the show many times. In one episode, Bear lassoed a wild Mustang, which was actually a tame horse. In another, he was forced to bite the head off of a snake for sustenance, even though he was staying at a resort that served blueberry pancakes. And in my favorite

example, Bear was shown trying to escape the toxic fumes of an active volcano, which were faked with a smoke machine. Nice. One of my favorite ones was, uh, he was on... That's woodsmanship for you. That's right. He was on the big island of Hawaii kind of trying to make his way over all these lava rocks, and he was just, you know, he was in- That's woodsmanship for you. That's right. He was on the big island of Hawaii, kind of trying to make his way over all these

lava rocks, and he was just, you know, he was in a remote area, no one around. Someone found the exact location, kind of using geography, and he was like 10 feet off of the most like, busy highway in Hawaii. Yeah, and there's like a boardwalk right behind him. That's great. Is that his real name? He did, uh, the gorge, the Alberton

Gorge, you know, just west of Missoula, which is very busy at high water, very busy all the time. It's super fun floating and fishing, stretching good whitewater. And, um, man, that was like the buzz in Missoula because his production team had to like force kayakers out of the way for the shots and stuff.

And he's in there, you know, braving the white water amongst the 14-year-old kids in their play boats and shit. He didn't have a stunt double do it for him? I think it was him, like, actually in there swimming. Question seven. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Will Britt.

For sending this great question, Will is going to get a signed book by Steven Rinella. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. Ducks Unlimited declared this town in Arkansas the, quote, duck capital of the world. Ducks Unlimited declared this town in Arkansas the duck capital of the world. You don't have to spell it right, do you? Never have to spell it right. Deet, deet, deet, deet, deet. Quick answers from everyone in the room. It's maybe a 100%-er instead of a 0%-er.

I have no idea. Okay. Hayden may not get it. Cal, you know this one? Yeah. I only know one town in Arkansas, so I'm going with it. Just one? Yeah.

No, I guess I know the one where Clay lives. Hayden, you going to come up with an answer? You and I drove there. I should know. No, he's done. Let's go. I'm going to take the L on this one. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis and Hansi and Brody saying Stuttgart. Corey saying West Fork. Cal saying, what's that say, Cal? Stuttgart. Stuttgart. Chester saying Stuttgart. The correct answer is Stuttgart.

Chester actually said Stuttgart. I'll take it. We'll take it. Correct answer is Stuttgart. Now'll take it. We'll take it. The correct answer is Stuttgart. Now, I looked it up, Cal. I think the German town, you say Stuttgart, but the Arkansas town, they say Stuttgart. I wanted to clarify that. Yeah, they say things real weird down there.

Stuttgart is about 60 miles east of Little Rock. The oldest mallard known to man was killed there in 2008. The bird was banded in Louisiana in 1981, making it an astonishing 27 years old. That's about 24 years longer than the average lifespan of a wild mallard.

Did you catch the highest mid-air collision of a mallard in an airplane? I did not know that one. That happened there in Stuttgart? No, but it's like 26 000 feet oh wow which is you know not an altitude that mallards fly at so there's a lot of questions as to how exactly that happened 4 000 was the last like highest recorded or the normal highest record i think that's like their average migratory okay elevation but yeah it caught on some weird updraft. That was a Delta waterfall fact that I found very amusing.

Thank you, Cal. Captured by a Delta aircraft. Yeah, exactly. Question eight. The topic is conservation. This three-word phrase is the official motto of the conservation organization Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. This three-word phrase is the official motto of the conservation organization Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers.

Chester? Very quick answer from Cal and Bouncy. It's a three-word phrase, and the conservation group is Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. the conservation group is Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. The group is called Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers. Correct. And I'm looking for the three-word phrase that is their official motto. Oh, oh, oh.

Don't get hung up on the group. Stick with what you know. Cal just full of hints. So generous. Cal's got it. I think Hansi's got it. The rest of the room, not so confident. Brody, you know this one? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Oh, yeah. I'm going to be really kicking myself here. How many words do you think you have? Two. Giannis, how many words do you think you have? Move it along, Spencer. Oh, hang on. I think Brody recognizes

where the scoreboard is at. He wants Giannis to falter. We'll get an official update after this. Chester. From Phil. Don't you do this every day? You're wearing my patience thing. I know.

I'm wearing my patience thing. Brody's rubbing off on Cal right now. You feel that, Chester? You know, sometimes, like I said, Cal, I feel a little dumb in this room. It's almost as nerve-wracking as watching you guys try to fill a limit on the Montana wall. Whoa! No, I'm saying like

there's like some tension in that second episode. There's some tension here. Just to let you guys know, I think I got it now. Okay. You have to have the urge in the right order. And if not, Cal is in reaching distance of Chester. Wait,. You have to have the urge in the right order. Yes. And if not, Cal. Cal is in reaching distance of Chester. Wait, does it have to be in order?

Yes. It needs to be in order. Does everybody have the answer? I think. Okay, I'm going. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis saying drain, clean, rinse. Uh-oh.

Hayden saying clean, inspect, dry. Hansi saying clean, drain, dry. Brody saying clean, inspect, dry. Hansi saying clean, drain, dry. Brody saying clean, drain, dry. Corey saying clean, drain, dry. Cal saying clean, drain, dry. Chester saying clean, drain, protect. Clean, dry, protect.

I do like protect. That's nice. The correct answer is clean, drain, dry. God dang it. They're out front of every single fly shop in the whole United States. Now I understand Cal's frustration. At every boat ramp you'll ever visit. Here is what the clean, drain, dry procedure wants all boaters to do. You should clean any visible plants, animals, and mud from your equipment.

You should drain all watercraft, pumps, live wells, and motors. And you should dry everything for five days or wipe it down with a towel before reuse. Additionally, if you're an angler, the group promotes a third D, which is dispose. That means you should dispose of any unwanted bait, worms, or fish parts in the trash. You know what's weird in Montana is like, you go anywhere in the eastern half of the state and not have to stop at an inspection site. You can't go anywhere west of the divide without hitting like multiple.

Yeah. You know, it's. Well, like the quagga and zebra mussels are present in a lot of the fisheries in the east. Yeah. So I think it's kind of like if you're trading them back and forth, I think.

I'm so upset. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. With three points, Chester Floyd is out of the running. But everyone else is still in the game. We got Hayden, Hansi, Corey, and Cal with four points apiece. Chester Floyd is out of the running. But everyone else is still in the game. We got Hayden, Hansi, Corey, and Cal with four points apiece.

And tied for first place, two points ahead of everyone else, are Brody and Giannis with six. Let's go, Brody. I'm ready. Question nine. The topic is cooking. Spoon University said this sandwich is best described as, quote, a campfire panini. Spoon University said this sandwich is best described as, quote, a campfire panini.

Brody's frustrated. Hansi's got an answer. Chester's got an answer. Where is this? Is this an accredited university? It's hard to say, yeah. Spoon University said this sandwich is best described as, quote, a campfire panini. Hansi, you got this one?

This goes to Brody's earlier conversation about knocking down academics. This is what happens at school, kids. Brody, do you know this one? earlier conversation about knocking down academics. It's like, this is what happens at school, kids. Yeah. Brody, do you know this one? Well, I mean, I know a, like, version of it. I don't know. Move it along, Spencer. Is the question, how did a school describe a sandwich?

Well, it's Spoon University. The question is, Spoon University said this sandwich is best described as, quote, a campfire panini. So just a subjective description. Hayden, you're not going to get this one, right? Hayden went to Spoon State, so there's kind of like an inherent rivalry. University of Spoon. Yeah.

Does everybody have an answer? Got an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Giannis saying iron pie. Hayden saying s'mores. Hansi saying s'more. Brody saying hobo pie. Corey saying grilled cheese.

Cal saying s'more. Chester saying pudgy pie. S'more. The correct answer is pudgy pie. Chester got it right. All right. Chester. Redemption.

You can walk out now. Now, I'm a little conflicted because I don't know. What was your answer? Hobo pie, iron pie. I think you better do a little research, buddy. Well, I think iron pie is like the cast iron thing you use. I think that's close to acceptable. I don't know about hobo pie.

Have you guys heard of a hobo pie? I would have said hobo pie was my other answer. Listen, we're writing an outdoor cookbook right now. I don't know about hobo pie. Have you guys heard of a hobo pie? I would have said hobo pie was my other answer. And a hobo pie. We just taught. Listen. Yep. We're writing an outdoor cookbook right now. We are calling these things iron pies in that cookbook. Okay. Because it ain't cool to call them hobo pies anymore.

Uh-huh. What about pudgy? It's the same thing. And just to clarify, this is something using the cast iron thing. And we did talk about. That closes. The clamshell deal. And it's like two pieces of bread. Yeah. But I'll give it to both of you. The iron pie and the hobo pie. It's like making a panini on a campfire. Well, here's iron thing. And we did talk about the clamshell deal. And it's like two pieces of bread.

I'll give it to both of you. The iron pie and the hobo pie. It's like making a panini on a campfire. It doesn't even matter because Giannis and Brody are still tied up and are the only people

left in the campfire. I'll give it to both of you. I tried looking for other names and what I could find were pudgy pies are also known as jaffles or toasties. They are cooked in pie irons

that are composed of two cast iron plates attached to a long handle. Different types of pudgy pies include the classic grilled cheese, toasted peanut butter and jelly, and homemade pizza pockets. Lodge makes some real good ones. Remember we used those with the kids like cooking with them.

And what kind of recipe would you find for a hobo pie? Oh man, you can do whatever you want. Peanut butter and jelly. Breakfast sandwich. PB&J. Yeah, the dessert ones are good. Ham and cheese.

We did one with like some leftover pheasant with some gruyere or something in there that was super tasty. The key is you got to like slather those pie irons in butter. Yes. A lot of butter. Hot tip there. So we'll take pudgy pie, Jaffel, toasty, hobo pie. Iron pie.

It's a tough position to get yourself in, Spencer, when you have a trivia show that doesn't have the answer, but an answer. Phil, we have one question left. Our two leaders are tied at seven points apiece.

I always lose to Giannis when it comes down to a tiebreaker. Oh, come on, Brody. Stay in the game, buddy. Stay in the game. Brody and Giannis have seven. Everyone else is out in the game, buddy. Stay in the game. Brody and Yannis have seven. Everyone else is out of the game, and they all have four points apiece. Oh, very good.

It's kind of a high-scoring game. Question 10. I think hobo is still a good name because it implies that you're just traveling at your leisure across the country doing it on the cheap. Steve, actually, we were debating about what to call them, and Steve thought about calling them looking for work pies instead of hobo pies. But I bet there's a bunch of hobos out there that are like, I'm not looking for a job. Yeah, right? I'm totally happy doing what I'm doing. Exactly.

Pudgy pie is what I had heard most, and when I Googled it, pudgy pies is what I had seen for the most common result. Question 10. The topic is fishing. This last great question comes to us via my nephew pierce matthiason if you have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com four states have a northern pike record over 39 pounds name one of those states four states have a northern Pike record over 39 pounds. Name one of those states.

We're down to Brody and Giannis, who each have seven points. They're chasing the Shelby Index at this point, which was an eight. Giannis, how do you feel about your answer? Eh. Okay. Brody, it looks like you have Not come up with an answer yet I'm just doing a little geography in my head Spencer

Do you feel better about your answer than Yanni's? I don't have an answer yet Why do you have to use geography? Are you afraid that Are you just like going off of like This state, I know this state has it But I can only remember the state that it's touching? No, no.

What's the geography part? I'm trying to figure out a state that I feel like would grow one that big. Well, there's four of them. Why not? I'm trying to figure out one of them. Oh, you're trying to find a banana belt meets the northern pike latitude? Just trying to find the one that strikes my fancy. Now you just ruined my train of thought so I'm just like put down

what I see. Cal was drawing the whole United States over there. I was a proud father the other day when I heard that one of my daughters won the geography B at school. Sweet! That's great. All that time spent in front of that Montana map paid off. Yeah, driving. Lots of family road trips too. That helps. Does everybody have cool. All that time spent in front of that Montana map paid off. Yeah, driving.

Lots of family road trips, too. That helps. Does everybody have an answer? I don't know. We don't spend much time looking at maps anymore on road trips, you know? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying Minnesota. Hayden saying Minnesota.

Hansi saying Wisconsin. Brody saying Minnesota, which is the same answer as Giannis, so we're going to be going to overtime regardless of the outcome. Corey sang Montana. Cal sang Montana. And Chester sang Alaska. The four states are New York, Minnesota, Idaho, and Michigan. The room did pretty well.

And we have Brody and Giannis with eight correct answers going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker. You ain't first, you're last. That doesn't make any sense at all. You're first, you're last. You can be second. You can be third, fourth.

Hell, you can even be fifth. I just heard that there was, as far as I know, the first ever Calcutta for this game of trivia. Oh, how'd that go? Sounds like Hayden lost $20 to Brody. Three? 20. 20, okay, $20. If I win, I'll throw that extra 20 in.

We're going to have a $500 donation. What a good guy. $520 donation. The tie-breaking question, the topic is public lands. $520 donation. The tie-breaking question. The topic is public lands. This will be numerical. Whoever is closest will be declared our winner. How many states does the Appalachian Trail go through?

That's a good one. Who's better at geography between Brody, who can draw the entire map, and Yanni, whose daughter just won, what, fourth grade geography at school? How many states does the Appalachian Trail go through? If you're not Brody or Yanni, you can still play along, but the only answers that matter are those two. Phil. Yes. One to ten, how was your pheasant meal?

So it turned out good, right? Yeah. I mean, the kids inhaled it, which I was not expecting. This was a roadkill pheasant, right? Yeah, more or less. What'd you make with it? Pheasant picado, the recipe wreck from cow.

It was really good. How many states does the Appalachian Trail go through? Yanni, you're ready. Brody, you're ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying 12. Hansi saying 9. Corey saying 12.

Cal saying 5. Chester saying 7. And our two competitors left, we have Brody saying 9. And Giannis saying 7. Circled with emphasis. The correct answer is 14, making Brody our winner with an answer of 9. That thing weaves a little more than I thought it did. Does that victory feel a little off when you're that far off on the tiebreaker?

I mean, I'm not happy I was that far off because I feel like a dummy, but I'm glad I beat Giannis. Good job, Brody. $520 donation going to a conservation organization. Brody, what is it going to be? To help out Cal's little trip to the capital, we're going to donate to Montana Wildlife Federation.

Yeah, or Montana BHA, either one. Let's do Wildlife Federation. What do you like about them? They're a great group working on access, habitat, stuff like that. We got some issues coming up with some elk hunting things that people are kind of

concerned about in about Montana and Montana Wildlife Federation is working on those problems. And Cal, what is the, uh, capital trip you got coming up? Well, specifically, I always want you to have like more than one thing to talk about just in case there's time. But, uh, the main thing that I'm going to go

talk about is the Forever Montana project that we donated a big chunk of change to through Land Access Initiative and Trust for Public Lands. So we're talking about permanent conservation easements. Well done. I'm sure you can hear more about that on Cal's Week in Review, right? Yes, sir. Good job, Brody. Wins with eight correct answers and a tie-breaking show-off with

Giannis. Join us next time for more of Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
