This episode is brought to you by Seafoam Motor Treatment, a proud podcast sponsor of Meat Eater. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Chester Floyd, Seth Morris, Christine Sawicki, Hayden Samick, and Corey Calkins. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from MeatEater'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. And each week here on MeatEater Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week, we're looking at player performance in the conservation category. The top performer is Rick Hutton, who has gotten 75% of conservation questions right. But here is the asterisk. Rick has only had eight questions asked in the conservation category. So if we forget about Rick and look at our more regular competitors, then we have Steve at the top with 64%,

followed by Brody at 61%, Giannis at 56%, Cal at 55%, Sam James at 55%, and Hayden at 53%. They are our only players who get more than 50% of conservation questions right. I think if Rick had more games under his belt, he would still be at the top. For sure. He knows a lot about that stuff. As we've discussed before, Rick has one of the most interesting stat lines in trivia,

where he's like the highest performer in hunting and conservation, but our lowest performer in fishing and cooking. So Rick needs to work on those areas. He knows what he likes. Here's our zero percenter question of the week. This is from episode 365, and the topic is gear. If you know the answer, you can shout it out. Five states have a firearm on their state flag.

Name one of those states. Oh! Yanni, you were on this episode. I know, but I can't recall. Michigan is a correct answer. That's one of them. You got four more. Is Wyoming one?

Wyoming is one. You got two of them. Three more to go. New Jersey. I know. Texas. No. Montana.

No. Kentucky. Arkansas. Oklahoma. No. Missouri. Let's start alphabetically. The incorrect answers that were given in that episode were California, Virginia, Tennessee, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Texas, and Montana.

The correct answers were Delaware, West Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wyoming. Those are the states that have a firearm on their flag. How long do you think it would have taken you to come up with a Delaware, West Virginia, and Minnesota? As long as it takes to run through all 50 states. Okay. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, I asked, what is the only subspecies of turkey in the world slam that can't be hunted in America?

The correct answer was oscillated, but Steve called me out for identifying oscillated turkeys as a subspecies when they are really their own species. So I looked it up and Steve was right. Oscillated turkeys are their own species and do not fall under the umbrella of wild turkey subspecies that include Easterns, Merriams, Osceola, Rio Grande, and Goulds. but the rest of the question remains accurate. Oscillated birds are the only turkeys in the World Slam that can't be hunted in the United States. Yanni, did you know that, that oscillated are their own species? Yes. Now, you haven't killed one, but you've probably come the closest

to killing one by sort of planning a trip. Multiple times. Multiple times? We've planned trips and they've Yeah Not come to fruition Steve said it was a sighties issue Is that like with firearms right No that's transportation of species

No the last one The last one that we planned It didn't happen We had it all set out And then the guy that we were going to go with Was like oh sorry I didn't get tags for you guys. Oh, that was the hang-up? Yeah.

Oh, man. But it sounded to me like he never really was going to get tags for us. Yeah. And it was going to be a Sides issue for us when he was like, yeah, come down anyway, shoot a turkey. And when we got to the border, they're got to the border, they're gonna be like, no, no, no, no. I mean, there was a lot of red flags with it

that we didn't have when we were planning it. Yanni, when you do eventually... You got another one going? Working? Yeah. When you do eventually get one, are you gonna do a full mount of it? No, sir. What would you do? It's like a traditional tail fan.

I would just do a tail fan. Okay. Probably hang the spurs nearby it. I don't even know if those suckers have beards. I don't know. I know they have big old giant, very razor sharp spurs. But yeah, I'll maybe get a picture, you know, me and Steve and the guide, whoever else is there with my bird, put it on the wall.

Maybe Seth's wife can draw that for you then someday to commemorate it. Possibly. Also in a previous game, we had a multiple-choice question about which world record fish is biggest. The choices were blue catfish, common carp, lake sturgeon, and alligator gar. The correct answer was alligator gar. But in the follow-up back to it, I said the world record weight for a lake sturgeon was 168 pounds. That was a number I got from the IGFA record book, but they don't take into account weights of fish that have been speared, which was speared in Lake Winnebago in 2010,

but that's still second to the world record alligator gar, which is 279 pounds. 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! Now, Brody, you were saying I looked cold. Seth is dressed up to the same amount of warmth. Does he not look as cold? You got a full-on outer layer on and then another one behind you. So is Hayden, Brody, Chad, Corey.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Maybe it's your beard that makes you look like you're cold. I look cold. Seth with just the mustache does not. Seth looks hardy. Christina has an actual coat on. Yeah, I was cold when I got in here and now I'm very hot. That's just not. Seth looks hardy. Christina has an actual coat on. Yeah. I was cold when I got in here and now I'm very hot.

Question one. The topic is fishing. This will be multiple choice. This first great question comes to us via Seth Daughters. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to Trivia at TheMeatEater.com. According to a 2016 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Survey, which of these things do anglers spend the most money on? Is it licenses, food and lodging, books and magazines, or transportation? Again, according to a 2016 survey, which of these things do anglers spend the most money on?

Licenses, food and lodging, books and magazines, or transportation. And these things are all specific to fishing. It's not just like they went to, you know, Mexico and stayed at an all-inclusive resort. And while you guys think about that, I'm going to step out of the office and turn on the fan in the podcast studio. Okay. I feel like that's kind of a trick question. You think so? Dude well it is never a trick question no i know that but like unless it is it's like i would i would say like define this

that's what i would say i know what you're getting at chester i agree about the specificity of i could maybe help you out if you have some specific questions. I could maybe provide some specific details. I looked at the study. Defined travel expenses. The transportation? Yeah, so this wouldn't be like the gas you put in your boat, but it's like the gas you put in your pickup or a plane ticket you buy. Things specific to getting to the destination where you're going to start fishing. Corey, what do you got?

Defined food and lodging. Food and lodging is what you spend on a trip. You got to go out to the restaurant each night. You need to pay for a hotel room or a camping spot. That is food and lodging. Case of bush light? I suppose if that is specific to the fishing trip, then yes. Or three.

I don't think you'd categorize it under transportation, books and magazines, maybe a license. It's that demanding of an item. Does everybody have an answer? Again, your choices are licenses, food and lodging, books and magazines, transportation. I can tell you which one I spend the most money on. Okay. See if you agree with the rest of America. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying transportation. Christine saying transportation. Brody saying transportation. Corey saying

food and lodging. Chester saying books and magazines. Now, Chester, we've had this issue before. You shouldn't write A, B, C, D. You should write a whole thing.

You wrote C, which would be the third choice. Oh, let him have the one he wants. What did you want? I wanted food and lodging. Okay, Chester says B, food and lodging. He's very suspicious to me. Books and magazines, that's the worst answer. I'll give you that, Chester.

Books and magazines is not the correct answer. We have Seth and Giannis saying food and lodging. Now, before you answer this, I wasn't paying attention, so maybe you said it. Is this during the course of a year? This would be specific to a fishing trip. You're going to Canyon Ferry to catch some perch. How do you spend your money? Maybe you do a five-day trip to go to Colorado

to go fly fishing for a specific hatch. It's the money you spend on that fishing. Seems very vague, man. The correct answer is food and lodging. What? Dude. American anglers spent about

$46.1 billion on fishing in 2016. Food and lodging was responsible for 17 percent of that, which is equal to seven point eight billion dollars. Transportation accounted for five billion dollars. Licenses accounted for six hundred million and books and magazines accounted for $100 million. It makes sense because now I'm thinking about all the places in upstate New York who have only money because of the tourism around fishing. I should have thought of that. Question two. The topic is gear. Bass Pro agreed to purchase this competitor with 134 stores in 2020,

but called off the deal less than a year later. Scourge. When was this? What year? Bass Pro agreed to purchase this competitor with 134 stores in 2020, but called off the deal less than a year later. Topic is gear. We had a lot of people writing answers before I finished the question,

and then the erasers came out. Again, Bass Pro agreed to purchase this competitor with 134 stores in 2020, but called off the deal less than a year later. Ooh. You got it? It's between two. later. Ooh. You got it? It's between two. Okay. And I...

It's 50-50 shot. Does everybody have an answer? No. No. Okay. Yanni, it seems as though it's not down to two for him quite yet. I just...

One more time here. Bass Pro agreed to purchase this competitor with 134 stores in 2020, but called off the deal less than a year later. Giannis, how we doing? I will tell you this, though. I'll tell you after. Tell me, are one of my answers right? Not going to help you at all, Gianni.

I think he has four answers written down. I'm just going to start doing some scribbling. I'm definitely going to take that one out. How many you got on there? I got four. Oh. I think

Can I say this? No. You can just wait a minute, Chester. Giannis, we're waiting on you. You're waiting on me? We're waiting on you. Everybody else has an answer? They all look confident too, Gianni.

No pressure. Bass Pro agreed to purchase this competitor with 134 stores, but called off the deal less than a year later. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Gander Mountain crossed out Shields. 34 stores, but called off the deal less than a year later. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Gander Mountain. Crossed out Shields. Christine saying Shields.

Brody saying Sportsman's Warehouse. Corey saying Gander Mountain. Chester saying Sportsman's Warehouse. Seth saying Sportsman's Warehouse. Giannis saying Sportsman's Warehouse. The correct answer is Sportsman's Warehouse. Oh, baby. Hayden, I thought you were going to be right.

Me too. I was so close to winning Gander Mountain. Here's why I kind of knew I was wrong as soon as I wrote it. I think they just plum went out of business in like 2016. No, Gander Mountain was actually purchased by Camping World, who has been part of a trivia question in the past. So Gander Mountain still sort of exists. think feel like they're on life support but they're now part of the camping world brand you know it's a much different experience going into cabela's these days than it was before bad not as magical not as magical not as magical no chester what thoughts

did you have on this question that you were reluctant to share well it was like what hayden said i thought they well i i know there's a couple of them still open, but I thought they pretty much went out of business and that was prior to 2020. So that helped me write down Sportsman's Warehouse. In December of 2020, Sportsman's Warehouse agreed to a merger with the Great American Outdoors Group, which is the parent company of Bass Pro. But just under a year later, the acquisition was called off when feedback from the FTC made both companies believe that the deal wouldn't be approved. The FTC competition director said the $785 million transaction would have hurt consumers through increased prices and reduced offerings.

Look at the FTC looking out for you. Go government. But if only they had done that deal probably like five years sooner, because I'm sure if Bass Pro hadn't already purchased Cabela's, it would have worked out for Sportsman's Warehouse. They were a couple years too late. But look at it how it is now. Who in this room would rather go into a Bass Pro Cabela's versus a Sportsman's

to get gear or get advice or info? Are we assuming that Sportsman's actually has stuff in stock? Yes. I'll just say currently for fishing stuff, Bass Pro Cabela's. Yeah. Shields. Yeah, but who needs to eat

lunch and look at some rotting bass swimming around in an aquarium? Oh, yeah. No one needs to do that. It's totally part of the experience. I like their roasted nuts. Strictly true. Question three. The topic is woodsmanship.

What type of man-made structure is often referred to as a drowning machine? What type of man-made structure is often referred to as a drowning machine? What type of man-made structure is often referred to as a drowning machine?

Quick answer from Hayden and Brody. Rest of the room has yet to come up with anything. Can I draw a picture of it? No. Again, the question. Be specific. If you thought the answer was white-tailed deer, you'd need to put white-tailed deer.

Deer would not be good enough. Again, the question is, what type of man-made structure is often referred to as a drowning machine? Be specific. Yeah, you should put down white-tailed deer for your answer. See if that works. With a hyphen? Won't get into it. What's the topic again?

Woodsmanship. What type of man-made structure is often referred to as a drowning machine? Now, Brody, do you know this, or are you just taking an educated guess? I'll argue with you if I don't get it right. Me too. Like really, really argue with you? Because I have get it right. Me too. Like really really argue with you. Because I have some bona fides.

Folks have asked me before who sits in Steve's seat when he's not here because they feel as though someone takes his argument seat. No, I would never sit in Steve's seat. I would feel uncomfortable. Someone has to take up that niche though in the arguing space. Does everybody have

an answer? I do. Chester? Corey knows this one. You need to tell me what a drowning machine is. Am I gonna be kicking myself? I don't know. Yep. You think I am? I can't

think of anything. Alright, does everybody else have an answer? Hayden. Are you drawing? Yes, okay, so everyone's ready go ahead and reveal your answers Hayden saying top water dam Christine without an answer you could be a bridge Cory saying what's that say clack of craft? Chester without an answer. Seth saying raft. Giannis saying low head dam. The correct answer is low head dam or diversion dam.

I've never heard it called a topwater dam. I knew how to describe what it was. I didn't know the technical term for it. I drew a very good diagram. You did. You drew exactly what happens, but they're not called topwater dams. I'm still going to argue that bridge should be included in there, too. But nobody calls them drowning machines. Again, it's this exact—

I've heard people call them drowning machines. Okay. Not according to other folks. But I think we would call that a— What other folks? You see this, like engineers refer to them as this. Engineers. The DNR in Iowa refers to them as this.

Okay. Okay. this. Engineers. The DNR in Iowa refers to them as this. I could see an argument for being out west here with the bridges. Oh yeah, even back east, man. Canoes get wrapped around bridges all the time. But I think a bridge is more of a strainer

when it gets to be dangerous to humans. Low head dams drown about 50 people each year in the United States. This happens when someone goes over a low head dam and gets caught in the recirculating currents below the surface. A task force consisting of government officials and nonprofits is looking to use AI technology to cross satellite images and identify every low head dam in America. This would theoretically lead to better signage at those

sites and prevent more deaths. Question four, the topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Wayne Ratton. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. According to the Wild Sheep Foundation. There are two subspecies of thin horn sheep. Name both of them. According to the Wild Sheep Foundation, there are two subspecies of thin horn sheep. I need you to name them both. Quick answer from Hayden, Giannis, Brody, Christine. The other side of the room, though.

Seth Chesser-Corey. Still thinking of the room, though. Seth, Chester, Corey. Still thinking. Nope, not thinking. Seth's got it. Christine, you got this one? Hang on. Okay. Let me think again.

Again, looking for both subspecies of thin-horned sheep. Janice, you had a quick answer, but that grunt made it seem like you're not real confident. I'm pretty confident. Okay. I read you wrong then. I can't help you. Help me. What's the dilemma, Christine? Do you have like five answers written down?

I know some sheeps, but I keep showing Hayden just so it's completely off, which it is. Again, looking for the two subspecies of thin horn, according to the Wild Sheep Foundation. You might want to help her now, because later, in her current position at Meteor, she might be able to help you. Chester, how we doing? We'll be talking.

Not very good, man. I'm just going to give me one second here. I think we're waiting on you. You're going to need me one day. White ones and black ones. The real wooly ones. You would have gotten in big trouble

for saying what you just did if the old Mr. Rinella was sitting here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Chester. HR's ears perked up over here. Go ahead. Chester just got a tip.

And reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Mouflon and doll. Christine saying Mouflon. Brody saying doll and stone. Corey saying dolls and stone. Chester saying Mouflon and doll. Seth saying stone and doll. Giannis saying doll and Dahl. Seth saying Stone and Dahl. Giannis saying Dahl and Fannin.

The correct answer is Dahl Sheep and Stone Sheep. The room did pretty well. Well, Fannin's a mix between the two. Here we go. The Dahl Sheep is named after naturalist William Healy Dahl who documented the animal in 1884. The Stone Sheep is named after A.J. Stone who documented the animal in 1884. The stone sheep is named after A.J. Stone, who documented the animal in 1897. And some groups recognize a third subspecies, the Fannin sheep,

which is named after John Fannin. But most biologists consider the Fannin sheep just a darker color variant of the Dahl sheep. And Giannis, the Wild Sheep Foundation does not list them as a thin horn subspecies so we're not going to give it to you but that was a deep cut putting down fannin so there's no thin horn species like on the other side of the world uh not on wild sheep foundation's website unless they don't uh maybe they just don't care about uh asia i don't know and a mufon is not not a thin horn. I wonder if that's...

Are mouflons kind of like domestic-ish? Like, is that kind of like a feral hog versus a boar? Yeah, that's kind of what I was... They do live in the wild someplace in this world, but... Asiatic, I think. In Texas. Question five. The topic is cooking.

This burger was invented in Kentucky 60 years ago when a diner started placing bean cans on patties while they cooked. Again, this burger was invented in Kentucky 60 years ago when a diner started placing bean cans on patties while they cooked. A confident room, as we learned before, 7% of our questions are answered by everyone in the room correctly. This may be one of those 7%ers. Everybody have an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answer. No, no, no. I didn't look at anything else.

Okay, okay. We have Hayden saying smash. Christine saying smash. Brody saying smash. Corey saying smash. Chester saying smash. Chester, what did you cross out or write down? I just completely didn't even listen to your question very well.

And I just wrote like hobo burger because of beans. But you said place it on it while they're cooked. I'm like, I make these all the time. Smashburger. Seth and Giannis saying smashburger. Everybody got it. The correct answer is smashburger. The restaurant that started this craze was called Dairy Cheer, which markets itself the

home of the smashburger. If you want to learn how to cook one for yourself, then go to TheMeatEater.com and check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe called Venison Smash Burgers. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. In last place, tied up are Hayden and Christine with one point apiece. Thanks for nothing.

Coming up next, we have Corey, Chester, and Brody, all tied with three points apiece. And tied for first place are Giannis Putellis and Seth Morris with four points. Good work, Seth! Good job! And boy, my goodness, do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes. And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join.

Whew. Our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of, you know, sucking high and titty there, OnX is now in Canada.

Question six. The topic is conservation. This next great question comes to us via Matt Krause. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. What mammal's silhouette is shown on the current National Wildlife Federation logo? What mammal's silhouette is shown on the current

National Wildlife Federation's logo? Nobody's come up with an answer yet. Yanni thinks he has it. Rest of the room, not very confident. How specific? Need you to be specific. So it's got to be white-tailed.

If you think the answer is white-tailed deer, I need you to say white-tailed deer. Not just deer. Yanni's the only one who's come up with an answer. Can you other folks picture it, though? Do you have any idea what it looks like? Christine says yes. Brody, how well do you know this logo? I'm drawing a total blank. Okay.

Looking for the mammals silhouette that's shown on the current National Wildlife Federation logo. NWF. NWF. A mammals silhouette. I can picture the

individual state ones, okay Don't know if that'll be helpful. No, I don't think it will Most of the room has yet to come up with an answer Seems like you're gonna know it or not know it Looking for the mammals silhouette. Yeah, Yanni, how confident are you? Well, I don't think this will give anybody a tip, but there's another one that's WWF. Okay. That I believe also has a mammal's silhouette.

Yes. That's a panda. I'll tell you, when I went through this round of trivia with my wife, she answered panda, realizing afterwards that that's the WWF. Oh, I'm changing my answer. WWF? Oh, I'm sorry. Well, did you have panda down?

I did. Listen, that's not good. Cory is the one who said it's a panda. Shame, shame, shame. So you say a National Wild Federation. But is it a red panda? Panda subspecies. Sorry, everybody, but Yanni.

Does everybody have an answer? Nope. I hate this. You can just put down panda for fun. I do have one. You can just put down panda. Just to be a team player? Yeah.

I'm here to kick ass, bud. I can't believe I just got an answer out of you. Damn. That was way too much info. I thought it was all put out there once Corey said that they had a panda. Yeah, he did. But you corroborated. It felt safe to, yeah, let him know. Oh. out there once Corey said that they had a panda. Yeah, he did. Well, you corroborated.

It felt safe to, yeah, let him know. Now, what just happened over here with Corey and Seth? Oh, no. Damn thing. What I gathered was Seth put down a non-mammal to which Corey said, hey, it needs to be a mammal. Nope. Brody, are you ready? Yes.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying grizzly bear. Christine saying black bear. Brody saying grizzly. Corey saying elk. Chester saying bison. Seth saying bison. Giannis saying dolphin.

I was thinking whale might have been it. Nobody got it. The correct answer is raccoon. Oh. Good for the raccoon. The National Wildlife Federation has had six logos since 1936. Trash pan. The first three featured a bald eagle.

In the 1990s, the organization switched to a different logo that featured a deer and an eagle and in 2016 the group updated their logo to the current iteration which shows their mascot ranger rick the raccoon spencer i did write down bald eagle i thought i didn't quite pay attention to the mammal thing question seven The topic is biology. Brine shrimp are more commonly known by this marketing nickname. Really? Brine shrimp are more commonly known by this marketing nickname. Brody and Giannis think they know it.

No. Brine shrimp? Okay, brine shrimp. Brine shrimp are more commonly known by this marketing nickname. Giannis, on the last question, you were closer with your first answer, panda, than you were with dolphin. Didn't work out, though. Mm-mm. Brine shrimp, more commonly known by this marketing nickname. More commonly known By this marketing nickname

More commonly known to who? Everybody Giannis do you have this one right? I think so I think so Christine do you have an answer? Yes I think everyone

There's not a certain group of people that might be more familiar With the name you're looking for. Not going to help you out anymore. Like Midwesterners? We've had plenty of help this game. Hayden, are you ready? Christine, are you ready? Humans under 10.

Yeah, no. Yeah, Oscar probably knows this. Just do it. People that work in the HR department of their company. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying sweet shrimp. Christine without an answer. Brody saying water fleas.

Corey saying prawns. Chester saying cocktail shrimp. Seth saying prawns. Giannis saying popcorn. Nobody got it. The correct answer is sea monkeys. The sea monkeys marketing name was developed in 1957, which is one year after ant farms became a novelty pet. Sea monkeys were initially sold as a product called Instant Life

and were available for just 49 cents. They were intensely marketed to kids with the creator claiming that he purchased 3.2 million pages of comic book ads each year in the 1960s. I wanted a little sea monkey. Never got one? When I was a child, never got one.

Okay. Did anybody here have sea monkeys? No, there's a great South Park episode revolving around sea monkeys that always reminds me of. Seen it before. Question eight. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Brett Safel.

For sending this great question, Brett is going to get a book signed by Steve. According to the USGS, there are nine states where less than 1% of the state is covered in water. Name three of those states. According to the USGS, there are nine states where less than 1% of the state is covered in water. Name three of those states. Spencer, what did you say the Shelby Index on this round was? It's a four. So our winner should get eight, but I think we've had a couple back-to-back, maybe back-to-back questions where nobody got it right.

It's going to hurt the room's score. Phil, how do you think you'd be doing in this round? I'm always like a two. Okay. I think almost every episode I'm like a two. Yeah. How's the room doing? Do folks have three states written down?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Seth. You said doing? Do folks have three states written down? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Seth. You said there was nine of them? Nine of them that are less than 1% water. I need three of those nine. Christine. Good.

You ready? Mm-hmm. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico. Christine saying Kansas, Oklahoma, Nevada. Brody saying Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada. Corey saying Hawaii, Kansas, Texas. Chester saying Arizona, California, Nevada. Seth saying New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona. Giannis saying Nevada, New Mexico, and Kansas. The nine states are New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado,

Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming, and West Virginia. I think the room did pretty well. According to the USGS, the driest state is New Mexico, where just 0.2% of the state is covered in water. That's followed by Arizona at 0.3%, Colorado at 0.4%, Kansas at 0.6%, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wyoming at 0.7%, and West Virginia at.8%. I'm a little surprised with Arizona, with the big river and reservoir that it holds. Not enough to make up for all that desert. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Looks like eliminated from the game are Christine and Hayden. Christine having one point, Hayden having two points.

Still in the game, though, are Chet and Corey with three points apiece, Brody with four, and Giannis and Seth tied up with five points. Who do we have at the top with five points? Giannis and Seth. Giannis and Seth. Question nine. The topic is hunting. Let's limit the walleye fishing questions, okay?

Okay. Question nine. The topic is hunting. What nonprofit stopped taking critically ill children hunting in 1996 due to criticisms from animal rights groups? What nonprofit stopped taking critically ill children hunting in 1996 due to criticisms from animal rights groups. Quick answer from Seth. He's got a little confidence being in first place here. Seth has the stare, the mean look going on today.

It's just the first thing that popped in my head, and I know if I sit here and stew over it, I'm going to be racing and writing. Yanni is currently stewing. Hasn't come up with an answer. Rest of the room looking confident. Here it is again, Yanni. What non-profit stopped taking critically ill children hunting in 1996

due to criticisms from animal rights groups? Brody changing his answer. No, no, I'm just making sure you don't get me on something. Okay. Does everybody have an answer? Corey? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Hayden saying, make a wish. Christine saying, make a wish. Brody saying, make a wish. Corey saying, big brother, big sister. Chester saying, make a wish. Brody saying, make a wish. Corey saying, big brother, big sister. Chester saying, big brother, big sisters. Seth saying, make a wish. Giannis saying, Shriners Hospital. The correct answer is make a wish.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation stopped granting wishes that involved hunting, firearms, archery, or anything that could cause an animal injury in the 1990s. In response to this, three new organizations were formed that did just that. The Hunt of a Lifetime Foundation, Catch a Dream Foundation, and Life Hunts Foundation. Other wish restrictions include no vehicles, no homes, and no cash. Phil, we have one question left. Give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, so now it's Seth Morris in first place with six, but hot on his trail are Giannis and Brody with five points apiece.

Okay, we need Seth to get it wrong, Giannis and Brody to get it right, to go to overtime. Question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This is an audio question. Phil is going to play you 20 seconds of an animal's vocalization. You need to tell me what animal is heard that before. You have? Corey has heard it. That's a hint from Corey, who I think has lived in Montana his whole life.

I grew up in Florida. Black Panther. Phil, can you play it one more time? Can you put it on the headset? I feel like I need to make sure. Seth, if you get this right, you take the outright victory. How do you feel about your answer? I feel... I don't feel great about it, honestly.

Okay. Brodyani, you guys need to get this right. Have you won, Seth, before? Just once. Yeah. I'm pulling for you, Seth. Me too. If I could go back and make this a walleye question, I'd do it.

I'm going to write down Panda. I would do it. I'm going to write down Panda. I would do it. Brody, how do you feel about your answer? I feel like if I'm right, then I'm right. Like I've heard that noise. Like in our, the last house we lived in in Colorado, there was an animal that made that noise very frequently near our house. So,

and I know what that animal was, but I could be wrong. Big hint, Yanni. He eats those animals every year. Pretty good. Okay.

I think that I've also heard it from a house that I lived in. What state? At one time. Not gonna say. Christine? Yeah?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Bobcat. Christine saying fox. Brody saying red fox. Corey saying mountain lion. Chester saying gray fox. Seth saying bobcat. Giannis saying red fox.

Oh, man, Seth. We have a correct answer in the room. The correct answer is Mountain Lion making Seth our winner because Brody and Giannis got it wrong. Cory did get it right, though. It did sound like a fox. Now, there's no disputing this. It was on a trail camera. The Mountain Lion was standing right there screaming.

That was a female mountain lion who was looking for a mate. It was captured on a trail camera in the Angeles National Forest. Twelve days prior, a male mountain lion visited the area and sprayed urine at the site. Three days after the female showed up screaming, the same male and female were spotted on camera together. Oh.
