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 Stephen Rinella, Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Ryan Callahan, Maggie Hudlow, Corinne Schneider,

Randall Williams, and Megan Baker. Megan, this is your first time on the show. Oh, hold on. We've got to make a correction. She got married. Oh, in the show notes, it was Baker. Well, I don't know. She just got married. Okay. Did you get married between now and when Corinne set you up as a guest?

No. I got married back in May. So what would be the correct way? Megan Dineen. Megan Dineen. And we're joined by Megan Dineen. Megan, this is your first time on the show. How do you think you're going to do at Meat Eater Trivia?

I've been playing this every week since you guys brought it out, and I am petrified to do this live. And you play against other folks, right? Yeah, me and my husband play it. How's that normally go? Car rides, and we pause it a lot and really think about things.

So actually having to be real time is going to be a little difficult, I think. Who's better, though, between the two of you? It goes back and forth, depending on what the topic is. What would be, like, your strength versus his, you think? My strength, they're usually animal species and region stuff. He definitely understands more, like,

hunting and firearms better. I have to admit, it was tough to write a question that would be throwing a bone to an airport biologist. I was going to ask you about this. Yeah. We have a bone that will be thrown to her. What do you know?

What are you going to ask? Name an airport? No, I went and I found your bio from Michigan Tech. And it said what you studied in college. So I tried to find something that would appeal to that. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there's a prize.

Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And each week here at Meat Eater Trivia, we reveal a new stat. Earlier this week, LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record for most points in NBA history. So today, we're looking at who scored the most points in MeatEater Trivia history. At the top of the leaderboard is Steve with 179 correct answers. That's followed by Brody with 165 points, Giannis with 141 points, Cal with 91 points, Seth with 79 points, and Corinne with

69 points. Nice. What? Really? 69 points, Corinne. I'm shocked. She plays a lot. We weren't going to bring that up, Giannis. Yes, exactly. Are you counting the 10 she got when you told her the answers? She didn't get a perfect game, that game.

But I think that does count. If you took those away, she'd probably be like 64. That was the biggest mistake of your career. Because go on. It's thrown off every stat. Yep. Messes stuff up. Did you guys call each other about your

sweatshirts this morning? We did not. No, we didn't. But, I mean, let's be fair here. I mean, you recount the stats of this game at the drop of a hat. It's got nothing to do with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, all right? It's constantly like, let's reinvent another way to look at the leaderboard. You're exactly right, Kevin.

Now, Steve, you weren't here when we introduced a segment that we're going to use every now and then, but we're going to call it our zero percenter question of the week. And this is a question that we had on a previous game where nobody got the correct answer. So this week, we are going back to episode 313 for a question that nobody in the room got right. Here it is. When archery companies advertise IBO speed, what does the IBO stand for? I got it. What is it? You want me to say it?

Yeah. Wasn't it, uh, I can't remember. Does anybody have a guess? It was like International Bow Organization or something like that. So the answer you gave during that game was International Bow Organization, but that's wrong. Exactly. The correct answer was International Bow Hunters Organization.

The incorrect answers we had given were International Bow Org and Initial Bow Operation. So nobody retained that information. I wasn't here for that episode. I'm ashamed, though, that I don't know it. No, but I think it's worth noting that even though I've gotten older, I still think the exact same way. Yeah, a whole year older. We have some housekeeping to get to.

On last week's episode of Trivia, I gave examples of questions that were written by AI technology. As we learned, creating trivia questions about hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking is not a strong suit for robots. But I did find a good use of the power of AI technology. I asked chat GPT to write me a 20-line poem about Steven Rinella, and this is what it came up with. Oh, wow. You're not going to read all 20 lines.

All 20 lines. Brace yourself. In the wilds of America's vast lands, there's a hunter with a passion for hands-on demands. With a bow or a rifle,

he tracks his prey and brings back the bounty in his own unique way. Steven Rinella, a man of the woods with a love for the hunt that never quite stood. Still, he roams

through the mountains and streams sharing his stories and his wild meat dreams. He's a teacher, a mentor, and a guide showing the way to a more sustainable side. He tells of the beauty that can be found in the creatures we hunt and the food that surrounds. From the deserts to the forest he roams with a love for the land and the creatures he's known, he harvests the wild with respect and with care and shares his knowledge with all

who would dare. So here's to Stephen Rinella, a hunter of note, a man who helps us better understand the remote. His love for the land and his passion for the chase will continue to inspire and guide in this wild, wild place.

It reminds me of... Is that like a sonnet? It sounds like Twas the Night Before Christmas. It's got that same cadence to it. That thing's a regular old Robert Service. I mean, that's like cremation Sam McGee quality. Also, I think we should put Hunter of Note on your tombstone.

Yeah, my favorite. You know, earlier I was saying the worst thing you ever did in your career? That's the worst thing you ever did in your career. My favorite line, though, was sharing his stories and his wild meat dreams. Now, the Shelby Index for this game is a three, so our winner should get about six correct answers. 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 cooking. Which of these recipes did not make Vice's list of the greatest stoner foods of all time? Pizza Nachos, Sloppy Joe Pizza, Pizza French Toast, or Pizza Bagels. I would imagine nobody knows this one.

Just going to be taking an educated guess. There's absolutely no way that this fits into our cooking verdict. This is so stupid. I didn't even think about how stupid it was until Yanni brought it up. You're going to have to keep adding on to the dumbest thing I've ever done. This might be the new one. Are you indulging in too much of the wacky tobacco? Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying pizza, French toast. That's a lot of trouble to go through. Maggie saying pizza, French toast. Megan saying sloppy Joe pizza. Randall saying sloppy Joe pizza. Brody saying pizza, French toast. Cal saying pizza, French toast.

Corinne saying pizza, French toast. Giannis saying pizza, French toast. The correct answer is Sloppy Joe pizza. Megan and Randall got it right. Pizza nachos, pizza French toast, and pizza bagels were all on Vice's list. Sloppy Joe pizza is actually from our website. If you want to learn how to make it, then go to TheMeteor.com and check out Daniel Pruitt's recipe called Venison Sloppy Joe Pizza. That was the best thing he ever did.

Brought it around to the end. Question two. Great question, man. Topic is mountain men. This next great question comes to us via Clayton Stewart. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to Trivia at TheMeatEater.com. Three states hosted an official mountain man rendezvous between 1825 and 1840.

Name one of those states. Three states hosted an official mountain man rendezvous between 1825 and 1840. Name one of those states. Steve, could you get all three if you had to? Oh, yeah. Rest of the room looks just as confident as Steve. Does everybody have an answer?

I want to name all three. Don't do it. You're not going to get credit. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Wyoming. Maggie saying Wyoming. Megan saying Alaska. Randall and Brody and Cal saying Wyoming, Corinne saying Colorado, Giannis saying Wyoming.

The three states are Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho. I would have got them all three. Wyoming hosted the event 11 times, while Utah hosted it four times, and Idaho hosted it twice. But you got to keep in mind that those states weren't states. Sure. You're acting like they're hosting the Olympics. Right.

Colorado had a rendezvous. I mean, maybe the rivers had a different name then too. I would say it's still right. The 1829 rendezvous was actually split between Wyoming and Idaho. The gathering came to an end after 1840 due to decreased beaver populations, shrinking markets, and declining prices. Colorado hosted

a rendezvous prior to that. I don't think so. I thought Kit Carson wandered through the old rendezvous site. Well, Kit Carson was hanging out all over up here. You know what I would have said? What's that? And what is

now these states? Do you get it, Spencer? Because they're not states at the time. Question three. The topic is conservation. What auto brand came under fire from conservation groups after a

2018 Super Bowl commercial showed its vehicle driving through a lake? What auto brand came under fire from conservation groups after a 2018 Super Bowl commercial showed its vehicle driving through a lake? Steve with a quick answer. No, no, no. Yeah, but I don't know what it is. Okay. I currently have a beef for similar reasons

with an automaker right now. Tell us about it. They are advertising driving through the wilderness with the new... It's just like... Do you think it's the same offender

as the answer to this question? I can't say that, Spencer. Okay. All right. Good on you, Cal. I mean, you know't say that, Spencer. Good on you, Cal. You know how this room comes apart. Good on you, Cal. Does everybody

have an answer for what the auto brand is? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Jeep. Maggie saying Toyota. Megan saying Jeep. Randall saying Jeep. Brody saying Nissan. Cal saying Toyota. Corinne saying Volkswagen. I don't know. Giannis saying Jeep. Brody saying Nissan. Cal saying Toyota.

Corinne saying Volkswagen. Giannis saying Jeep. The correct answer is Jeep. Damn it! What'd you put down, Randall? Jeep. The Super Bowl ad was made to promote the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Two days after the game, Trout Unlimited's president sent a letter to Chrysler saying this, quote,

The commercial that aired on Sunday might appeal to some, but to sportsmen and women, it was wrongheaded. At our farm in West Virginia, we will occasionally drive across a designated Ford, a hardened crossing meant to pass vehicles over a creek. But your ad showed someone driving a Jeep straight up a stream bed as if it were an acceptable practice. Jeep never pulled the ad, but they did defend the commercial by saying it was a man-made lake and a man-made waterfall. Cal, what's your issue with Toyota?

I was 100% sure it was Toyota. I'm not that I watched the Super Bowl, but I thought it was toyota i thought i'm not that i watched the super bowl but uh-huh i thought it was so that i have a huge issue with my current toyota which sucks gas like it's like i can't drive past a gas station it's like it runs on gas it's like it runs on gas and sucks the gas out of other vehicles like it's it's brutal He's just falling apart on me. Question four. The topic is biology. What animal does an ichthyologist study?

What animal does an ichthyologist study? Ichthyologist. I can spell that for you. I-C-T-H-Y ologist. Steve, you made a groan. Was it like a good, I got this? It's like I knew it, but now I don't know if I know it.

Okay. Brody, you got this one? I'm not saying. I want Steve to sweat it over. I don't think I have it. What's your homunculus talking to you about? It's not. It doesn't know. It's not talking to me about it. What's your homunculus talking to you about? It's not. It doesn't know. It's not talking to me about it. There's a lot of ologists.

It's occurring in a different part of my mind. I was like, oh. But then I'm like, am I wrong? Yes, you're wrong. You know what? I don't know if we talked about it enough. When you had a divine intervention give you an answer that time. I've had that happen.

But it was a wrong answer. Was it? Yes. It was that happen. But it was a wrong answer. Hmm. Was it? Yes. It was, yeah. And it was great. So you can't even trust him anymore. Does everybody have an answer for what an ichthyologist studies? I do. Yeah. Good? Janice?

Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying fish, Maggie saying turkey, Megan saying mussels, Rand Steve saying fish, Maggie saying turkey, Megan saying mussels, Randall saying fish, Brody saying fish, Cal saying insects, Corinne saying lice, Giannis saying lizards. No, Corinne's not

ick. The correct answer is fish. Man, me, Brody, Randall. A lot of talent in the room. Yep. A lot of talent in the room. Did you get that, Bill? Fish? Got it.

That was very embarrassing. Very embarrassing. There are 27,000 species of fish, making them the most diverse group of vertebrates on the planet. According to Professor Michael Barton, the first ichthyologists were actually hunters and gatherers because they had to learn how to obtain fish in abundance and at what times they were most available so you're saying no degree needed that's right that's great now megan that was the one i was throwing to you because you studied biology and ecology in college i thought that would be a gimme so we're required to take four ology classes and i skipped out on fish biology what were the four you took then ornithology herpetology and mammology so birds uh what was the next one toads toads that's right yeah birds reptiles and mammals What were the four you took then? Ornithology, herpetology, and mammology. So birds.

What was the next one? Toads. Frogs. That's right. Yeah, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Question five. The topic is public lands. This is our peak refuel question of the week, which was won by Mike Vance for sending this great question.

Mike is going to get a week's worth of peak refuel meals and a book signed by Steve. What national park leads the country in fatal bear attacks? This is going back to the year 1900. What national park leads the country in fatal bear attacks? Going back to what year? 1900. Megan with the quickest answer. The rest of the room staring at the ceiling, trying to envision a map. See where all them bear attacks are happening. And you're saying just bear attacks. Fatal bear attacks. What national park leads the country in fatal bear attacks?

Most of the room has yet to come up with an answer. Randall, how you feel about this one? I've narrowed it down to four or five. I've got it narrowed down to two. Giannis with the blank board. Megan's changed her answer multiple times now. I think that's the Latvian smirk.

Is that like him not knowing or is that a Latvian smirk? Oh, I mean, I can see his board. Again, what national park leads the country in fatal bear attacks? Yeah, I think I got it. Okay. Well, I'm going to leave here. You can cross it out.

Well, I'm going to leave it off. We can leave your answer. When you read it, I wouldn't mind if you just read the one I crossed out to. Okay, we can do that. Giannis, how we doing? I got an answer. Is everybody ready? Brody?

Oh, man. Brody's waffling over there. I'm trying to figure out if you're messing with us or not. It's a lot easier to pick when you haven't got any of the rest of them right Been ready to roll for a while Brody Come on, Brody Alright, hold on

This is a senior moment we're living in Come on, dude Go ahead and reveal your answers. Remember what I asked. We have Steve that crossed out Catmay. Catmay. Catmay. That means you know that's not right. Glacier National Park. Maggie saying Glacier.

Megan saying Denali. Randall saying Glacier. Brody saying Glacier. Cal saying Catmay. Hold on a minute. Brody crossed out Shenandoah? Dude, he said Bear, not Grizzly Bear. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say right now that I think we're all wrong. I don't think we have a right answer in the room. Corinne saying

Denali. Giannis saying Glacier. Giannis, we do have a correct answer in the room. It's Glacier National Park, which is right here in Montana. Man, that Denali shit was good though, man. You got a little factoid to go with that? Sure.

Since the year 1900, there have been 12 fatal bear attacks in Glacier National Park that's followed by Yellowstone with eight Denali and Glacier Bay and Katmai. Now, how am I supposed to say that? Katmai. I looked it up online, and I saw Katmai, but it's Katmai. You're like the closest. I've never heard it pronounced cat may. You saw online where it said cat m-a-y.

I listened to some pronunciations, but you're the closest thing we have to an Alaska local. So we'll go with your version. Your chat g-i-p pronunciation. Can I walk you through my thinking? Let me finish. It's the last fatal bear attack in a glacier. Happened on

May 17, 1998. The 26-year-old victim was a solo hiker who was attacked by a mother grizzly that was with two cubs. Steve, how did you get that one right? Because there's that famous occurrence that was written about in the book. I think it was Jack.

Was it Jack? The same guy that wrote the Give a Boy a Gun, I think, about Claude Dallas. I don't know who wrote it, but it was like a mass casualty, right? Night of the Grizzlies. Night of the Grizzlies. Well, there was, in one night, just a freak occurrence. One night, different ends of the park, two women got killed in one night by grizzlies. Totally different grizzlies, different parts of the park.

And it was what set in motion. So I was like, well, where's two right there? That incident is what set in motion the idea that menstruating women are more likely to be attacked by bears. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. With zero points and in last place is Corinne Schneider. She's fifth on the leaderboard, though, for most points. That's true.

I worked on the edge of Glacier National Park For a lot of years And I'll tell you one thing That does not get talked about Is anything bad happening To anybody Inside Glacier National Park

Doesn't jive well With the marketing And with one point We have Ryan Callahan With two points apiece Are Megan and Maggie. Giannis and Brody have three.

Steve has four and a perfect game. Randall. Randall in first place. Yeah, Randall. Wow, Randall, man. Just coming in like a steamroller, man.

Although, to be fair, he did get that stoner question right. Well, yeah. One of his right answers. About that stoner question right. Well, yeah. One of his right answers. About that stoner question is he looked visibly perturbed, like he picked the wrong one. And then when the answer got read out, he kind of straightened up. He's like, that was a great question.

Did you look into black bear fatal attacks in state parks by chance? No, because this was a national park question. No, but I just thought maybe you would have dug around a little bit farther. How about county parks? Did you look at that? Municipalities. For all the black bears, we're going to visit state parks. I would like to bring the stoner question back up.

What do you got, Maggie? Who eats French toast pizza? And what is it? Is it covered in syrup? Is it savory? You're going to have to take it up with Vice. It sounds so awful. Maybe coming to our website soon. No, I won't allow it.

Are you a big stoner, Randall? No. Define big. What are your guardrails on that? He's a little stoner. It's a pretty arbitrary qualifier there. Someone told me, Randall's a little stoner. And they said, Randall's a big stoner. I think of him as the same amount of stoner. It's a pretty arbitrary qualifier there. Someone told me like, you know, Randall's a little stoner.

And they said, Randall's a big stoner. I think of him as the same amount of stoner. That's a good point. Hey folks, exciting news for those who live

The topic is hunting. Name three of the four animals with the most entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. Say that again.

Name three of the four animals with the most entries in the Boone and Crockett record book. I need you to name three of the four. Brody, we've learned on previous games that your strongest suit is hunting. How do you think you're going to do on this one? I think I got one right so far. Okay. Name three of the four. But you said deer is not an acceptable answer.

I never said anything. Okay. Randall, is this going to keep the perfect game going? I have no idea. Okay. Only write down three answers. If you do four, you get it wrong. Steve, you're gonna get this one right. Yeah, I'm feeling good

about it. I was more interested in what Randall's got going on. Three of the four animals. Does everybody have an answer? Yanni's still writing. I bet Corinne gets it wrong. Corinne wants to decide. I do too.

Who wants a side bet? I'm going for zero. She's going for the imperfect game. Maggie's erasing. Maggie, how are you doing? I have a last minute change. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying whitetail, elk, black bear.

Maggie saying whitetail, elk, black bear. Maggie saying whitetail, bighorn, black bear. Megan saying whitetail, elk, mule deer. Randall saying whitetail, mule deer, rocky mountain elk. Brody saying whitetail, black bear, elk. Cal saying whitetail, mule deer. What's that last one? Black bear. Black bear. Corinne saying whitetail, Mule Deer. What's that last one? Black Bear. Black Bear. Corinne saying Whitetail, Black Bear, Elk. Giannis saying Whitetail, Elk, Mule Deer. The four animals are Whitetail, Black Bear, Mule Deer, and Pronghorn. Oh, bitch. I don't know if anybody got it right.

Cal got it right. Everyone else had Elk in there. I thought you said. Yeah, then the minute he said, someone said Rocky Mountain Elk, then I'm like, I got that wrong because it won't be that way. It'll be like divided up into all the damn different elk. There are 18,218 whitetail deer entered in the Boone and Crockett record book. That's followed by 4,607 black bear, 4,266 mule deer, and 4,241 pronghorn. Even if you add all three subspecies of elk together,

there are only 2,732 entries. Shocking. Guy thinks everything. Spencer does. It is shocking. I mean, 18,000 whitetail seems like not that many for elk. Spencer thinks of everything, though. It's going to be a popular answer there.

The bar is set high, maybe. A lot of stuff he does that Spencer does is stupid, but that little tidbit where he knew that people were going to write elk, but he's like, people are going to write elk, but it doesn't count because it's going to be like Rocky Mountain, Tooley, Roosevelt. And then he thought about that, and then he thought to make a little factoid. That's right. That helps satisfy that question. Question seven.

Very good. Nice touch. Very good, yeah. Topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Maggie Schreck. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeatdeater.com. What is the main ingredient in cowboy candy?

Copenhagen. What is the main ingredient in cowboy candy? Nobody has come up with an answer yet. I got an answer. Maggie Hudlow, you got this one right? I don't know. Okay. Rest of the room not as confident.

What is the main ingredient in cowboy candy? Do you know it, Randall? I think so. Is this a food? The topic is cooking. The topic is cooking. What is the main ingredient in cowboy candy? It's not like shotgun shells or something like that.

Some of the room has yet to come up with an answer. Giannis, you think you're going to get this one? No. What percent chance is it that you get it? It sounded depressed there. What percentage? I don't know. What is the main ingredient in cowboy candy?

Does everybody have an answer? I'm just off my streak, man. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying beef. Maggie saying beans. Megan saying beef. Randall saying jalapenos. Brody saying molasses.

Cal saying popcorn. Corinne saying peanuts. Giannis is saying meat. We have a correct answer in the room. It's jalapenos. Well done, Randall. Oh, my God. You, listen.

There's no way you knew that. I knew it right off the bat. Are you upset he got hired, Steve? No, I just. I'm so anxious going on. There's no way you knew that. Cowboy candy is essentially when you can jalapeno peppers with apple cider vinegar and sugar. They are sweet and spicy and work great in cocktails, on burgers, with cream cheese and in baked beans.

The condiment originated in Texas in the 1920s. I was thinking about cowboy caviar. Slightly different. Great Trader Joe's jarred condiment. Garnish, I should say. Not quite candy. Name anything with cowboy in it, Randall will get up. Anyway.

Big stoner cowboy, Randall. Question eight. The topic is woodsmanship. What gender-specific term describes an uncastrated adult male horse? What gender-specific term describes an uncastrated adult male horse? Guarantee Randall doesn't get this one. Why is that, Cal? Oh, keep reading it one more time.

The topic is woodsmanship. What gender-specific term describes an uncastrated adult male horse? That's what I thought you said. You think you got it right? What's the castrated one? That's a great question, too. Oh, I can tell you that, too. Better question.

Why don't we put that in parentheses? If you'd like. I'm going to. And then what word do you associate with whom in the room? That would be a good follow-up. Cal, might have been a hint. Is everybody ready? Megan, you have an answer?

Oh, she's changing it. Corrine, did Cal's hint give it to you? I didn't even hear that. Okay. You guys just like, you guys, these people just, do you see how they look? It's like, it's not even an attempt to conceal their boards. That's why we're moving to new offices, just so we can have a new podcast table to play. Yeah, the whole reason.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying stallion, and he's saying the castrated version is a gelding. Maggie saying stallion. Megan saying Mustang. Randall saying stallion. Brody saying stallion. Cal saying stallion. Megan sang Mustang. Randall sang stallion. Brody sang stallion. Cal sang stallion. Corinne sang Mustang.

Giannis sang stallion. And the castrated version is a gelding. The room did well. The correct answer is stallion. A Mustang is a feral horse. A foal is a juvenile horse that can be male or female. A juvenile male is a colt. A juvenile female is a filly. A cast A juvenile male is a colt. A juvenile female is a filly.

A castrated adult male is a gelding. An uncastrated adult male is a stallion. And an adult female is a mare. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. What do you got, Brody? I got a question for you. When someone decides to offer up extra information

that wasn't asked for, if they got that information wrong... Steve pointed out, though, he was going to put it in parentheses. And to be fair, him and Yanni both got it right. No, no, I called it out. Okay. Just checking. Phil, give us a scoreboard update with two questions left.

Corinne, Megan, Maggie, Cal, Giannis, and Brody have all been eliminated from the round. I was going to say that last comment was pure frustration with Randall in the room. There are two players left. Our Steve with five points and Randall with seven. Yeah, but... Wow. Come on. Don't give up, man.

Did you just give up? I'm not giving up. He's got to get the next two wrong now. My heart is beating like a drum here. Question nine. I was trying to be nice about it, Steve. You want me to say, like, you got no shot, man. Question nine.

The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Logan Woodthrich. If you have a question you think is right for Mediator Trivia, you can send it to trivia at mediator.com. Phil is going to play you one minute of a song about fishing. You need to tell me who the artist is. Take it away, Phil. Oh.

We look for the artist? Need to name the artist. Oh my gosh, he's got an answer already. I know all the songs like this, but not this one. The soundtrack of my youth. He's getting cocky now. Here we are, Steve Rinella looking to come from way behind. Way behind.

Rubbing his brow. Feels like, wait a minute, this is my favorite part. Let's just wait. Great tune. Just like it for the drums. The drums. Oh, yeah. What a drum. There might be some guitar sound there, yeah. What a drop.

Oh, yeah. There might be some guitar synth there, maybe. I haven't heard anything about fishing yet. Listen close. Listen close. He said hands on the wheel. Didn't say anything about staring into monitors. Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying air supply. Maggie without an answer. Megan without an answer. Randall saying Billy Joel. Brody saying Billy Joel. Cal saying Phil Collins. Corinne without an answer. Giannis saying men at work.

The correct answer is Billy Joel. And the song is the Downeaster Alexa. That sounds good. Randall and Brody. It does kind of sound like Men at Work. Got it. He did something other than piano. Thanks, bro.

Let me tell you something. Have you seen the movie, you've seen the documentary Hired Guns? I don't believe I have. It's about sessions musicians. Yeah. It's like, let's say you got a rock band or you're a performer. You got the people you tour with, but that's not who you have record.

And the documentary is about the maestros, right? Like the absolute best in everything. And it's the guys that do the albums. Sometimes they'll tour, but it's like if you're going to do an album, these are the people that come in and do the album. A through current on that is what an asshole Billy Joel is. It's mostly about being a Sessions musician.

It's mostly about the industry's hatred of Billy Joel. That's why he only plays Madison Square Garden anymore. He doesn't have to tour around with all those folks who don't like him. So that's why I didn't put that down. Oh, just out of principle. Out of solidarity. Solidarity with all of his session musicians. He has one of the best catalogs out there. Piano Man,

scenes from an Italian restaurant, Uptown Girl. We didn't start the fire. The two disc Billy Joel Greatest Hits CD was just on repeat. Just the way you are, big shot. On repeat, my whole childhood. Moving out. Moving out.

Billy Joel released that song on his 1989 album Stormfront, which went quadruple platinum. It's about a struggling fisherman on Long Island who can barely make ends meet. A downeaster is a type of boat that's popular among lobster fishermen in New England, and Alexa is his daughter's name. Thus, Joel called the song the Downeaster is a type of boat that's popular among lobster fishermen in New England, and Alexa is his daughter's name. Thus, Joel called the song the Downeaster Alexa.

He was told to sash his musician. He told him, you're too nice as career advice. And here we are today with Steve not answering that. Let that linger. We have one question left. We know our winner already. That's Randall. Take that home for the weekend.

Okay? We'll finish the game anyway. See how badly Randall can beat him down. The poem was right. Steve just shares his knowledge. He's a mentor. Randall's gonna wake his wife up in the middle of the night and say, There's something I can't get off.

What's wrong, baby? Something I can't get off my mind. After he smokes a little weed. Been doing it wrong! Question 10. The topic is public lands. Which state is home to the Tuskegee National Forest and Talladega National Forest? I got it right. I got it right.

Randall may not get this one right. Again, looking for which state is home to the Tuskegee National Forest and Talladega National Forest. I wish folks could have witnessed that. Steve just threw his eraser at our guest. Megan's not going to come back on this show. Randall, are you going to get this one right? It was a ricochet. Oh, I don't think so.

Okay. Does everybody have an answer for which state is home to the Tuskegee National Forest and Talladega National Forest? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying, what's that say? Alabama. Maggie saying Minnesota. Megan saying Tennessee. Randall saying Florida.

Brody saying Alabama. Cal saying Alabama. Corinne saying Michigan. Giannis saying Tennessee. The correct answer is Alabama. Cal sang Alabama. Corinne sang Michigan. Giannis sang Tennessee. The correct answer is Alabama. Nice. Did you say Michigan, Corinne, because of Steve's reaction? I did.

That was why I changed my answer. It must be. Now, Giannis, what was up with all that confidence to get that one wrong? I don't know. Okay. I thought that that forest was in Tennessee. At just 12,000 acres, the Tuskegee is the smallest national forest in America. At 17 million acres, the Tongass National Forest in Alaska is the biggest national forest.

That means you could fit 1,400 Tuskegee National Forests in the Tongass. How badly did Randall win? Did he win by one or two? Two. Randall finished with eight. Steve and Brody were up next with six points apiece. How badly did Randall win? In the old days, we'd be having a showdown between me and Brody right now.

If it wasn't for that cowboy question and the stoner question. In the old days, it'd be like, tiebreaker. But now it's like, oh, Randall won. in the stoner question yeah you only got eight yeah I thought you're going for perfect game Randall you get to choose where the $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. So what's it going to be? Let's do TRCP. What do you like about that? Oh, nice. Kiss ass. Yeah.

Wonderful organization, guaranteeing all Americans quality places to hunt and fish. They get a lot of stuff done behind the scenes and just proud and happy to support the mission. Well done, Randall. Megan, thank you for joining us. I bet you beat your husband when this episode comes out, right? I'll let you know. Okay. Now, Megan, you brought something with you to the studio.

You have a skull in front of you. Tell us about that. Yeah. I work for USDA Wildlife Services, and my district does meat-eater trivia as a competition throughout our district. And so I brought a skull with me for everybody here to sign, to use as our trophy for our winners. I like it. And that just like sits on your desk then if you're the winner at the time. Yep.

Megan, thank you again for joining us. Join us next time for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Good game, Randall. Randall always wins. Good game, Randall.
