I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Brody Henderson, Danielle Pruitt, Mark Kenyon, Tony Peterson, Clay Newcomb, KC Smith, Jason Phelps, and Brent Reeves. Now, Brent, this is your first time playing Meat Eater Trivia. How do you feel about your chances?

I'm going to win. Okay. Based on what? When I was in Little League, I never went to the plate. I did not expect to hit a home run. And how did that work out for you? I played Little League for four years. I hit one.

Okay. And now you're here playing trivia instead of in the majors or something, right? That's correct. That's the reason I'm here. Now, I know you listen to some episodes. How do you normally do? What would be, like, the low end of how you perform and the high end? I'm usually right around the Shelby index. Okay. The highest I ever got was seven, and it was tied for whoever

won. I think it was Brody won that week. Wow. Clay, does that check out? You know Brent better than anybody here. Brent is going to be real good at some stuff, but he's got a few holes. Give me an example. He's got some holes. Give me an example. Man, that's a good one.

First, I want to ask you, Clay. Do you know what the hole would be in your competition? Because I've seen the stats, and I know where you severely underperform. Really? I'm very interested in that. What do you think it would be? I couldn't tell you my whole. Cooking? Cooking is right.

I'd have to revisit the stats, but one time I checked and your batting average was below 10%. And cooking. My wife will never forget it. I don't see you holding a fishing pole much, Clay. Fishing? I'm weak. My wife will never forget him because

he put mushrooms in chili on an Instagram post one time. Oh, my. Mushrooms are better than beans in chili. Wait, Danielle, do you put mushrooms in chili? It's not a thing? No, I was making a joke. I said it's better than beans. I can't argue with that.

Now, Brent, though, back to Brent. What would be like a hole in his game that you were referring to Brent is going to I would say cooking probably would be A hole But there's a whole lot of stuff He's a generalist So he's going to do pretty good That works well in this game

Now this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from me Wait a minute let's back up How old are you 57 In your trivia prime there. What's his theory? The older you are, the better you do. But then there's a point at which you just fall out.

That's probably 56. We've been figuring out where the bell curve is lately. It seems to be, what do you think, Brody, in the 40s? Wait a minute. When you start dropping off? No, no, no. Like the peak of the bell curve would be where, you think? Yeah, I don't know.

40 to 60. Okay. You're in your trivia prime, I'd say. Right around there. Hey, I'll tell you who's going to sneak up on us is KC. This guy's, he doesn't have many holes. He'll surprise you. I thought that last time.

And then I did not do very good. So I'm just going to stay over here and stay quiet until we get towards the second half. I'm trying to jinx everybody. You'll feel my pressure come on. But his partner, Tyler, sneakily won the game that he was on. Okay. She came up here from Texas in the snow and cold and defeated the room. Tyler will do that to you.

He's sneaky. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meadeater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at player performance for the first question of each game.

On average, players have a 48% success rate on multiple choice questions. And on average, they have a 37% success rate for the other nine questions. So that's an 11% increase for the first question of the game. And Brody wanted to know how important it is for players to get the first question right. Well, in 73% of games, the winner has gotten the first question right. On the contrary, only 27% of the time does someone win without getting the first question right. It's over. Just walk out of the room and get the first one right. So that makes question one the best predictor for player success. Very meaningful to get the multiple choice question right. If not, behind the eight ball. Wow. That makes question one the best predictor for player success. Very meaningful to get the multiple choice question right.

If not, behind the eight ball. Do you pick the first question intentionally for one that you feel like people are going to get, or is it going to be a hard one? The first question is the only multiple choice question that we have, so that's why number one is always different than the rest of the batch. It's always multiple choice. Always multiple choice. And we have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, I asked what fish Santiago battled with in The Old Man in the Sea before losing it to sharks.

That was violent. I confused the room by saying the family of fish would be good enough, which led to a scenario where I accepted sailfish as an answer, but not billfish. Listening back to that episode, I realized my stance was lacking common sense. Although Hemingway never explicitly says what type of marlin it was, it was clearly a blue marlin based on size and location. When I wrote that question and said I'd accept the fish family, I was trying to be proactive about not creating uncertainty, but instead I did the opposite. So, I'm going back in time and letting level-headedness

prevail by accepting Brody's answer of Bill Flisch slash Blue Marlin, but not accepting the answer of Sailfish. This doesn't change the outcome of the game. It just gives Brody an even more authoritative victory. Spencer, I love you. Would that have changed the outcome of the game?

No. Instead of winning with eight points, he won with nine. Listening back, Brody, I was like, yeah, that just didn't make sense, what I did. I came in overprepared. I worked myself into a pretzel, and that was the outcome. That's why you're leading

the ship, brother. You did the right thing, Spencer. Thank you, Brody. Thank you, Clay. Pulling for you two today. Let's go. Now, the Shelby Index for today's game is a three, so our winner should get six 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. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. As always, Clay, this will be multiple choice. The topic is biology. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which of these jobs has the highest average salary?

Is it wildlife biologist, forester, archaeologist, or veterinarian? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which of these jobs has the highest average salary? Four choices are wildlife biologist, forester, archaeologist, or vet. Quick answer from Danielle. Danielle, you know this one? Oh yeah. I've had to take my dog to the forest.

Yes, Danielle. I've had to take my dog to the forest. The forest. Because floor because he was chewing on trees. Spencer, man. That was such a fail. Now I haven't seen anybody change their answer, Daniel. I had to take my dog

to the archaeologist. I have some concerns about the lack of specificity in one of these careers. Again, this is according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying Forrester.

No, she says vet. Tony saying vet. Brent saying vet. Casey saying vet. Everybody said vet, and they got it right. The correct answer is veterinarian. We're all wetters. The average salary for an archaeologist is $67,000.

For a forester is $68,000. For a wildlife biologist is $70,000. And for a veterinarian is $110,000. Veterinarian is also the most prolific career from that list. In America, there are twice as many vets as there are wildlife biologists, archaeologists, and foresters combined. We are going to get so many people writing in

saying that's completely, those numbers are way off. They can take it up with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Like some kid right out of college is like, $68,000 for a wildlife biologist? No way. Question two. The topic is cooking.

This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Walker Wallace for sending this great question. Walker is going to get a book signed by Steve. A steak that's cooked to this city style is referred to as being black and blue. A steak that's cooked to this city's style is referred to as being black and blue. Danielle is the only one who's come up with an answer. I feel like she has an unfair advantage. What's that, Jason? I don't know.

She cooks more than I do. Tell you right now, no out-calling questions. If it makes you feel better, I missed both cooking questions last series. Again, a steak that's cooked to this city's style is referred to as being black and blue.

We're looking for a city man. A city, that's right. Danielle, do you have this one right? Watch your answer. No comment, she says. I'm kind of like it, but Danielle doesn't know. I know it, but I have a hint of doubt. Okay.

Because I have a really bad memory. Okay. Mark and Jason sharing answers down there. What do you guys think of each other's answers? Jason, what do you think of Mark's answer? Do you think he's right? His is a good... Mark, what do you think of Jason's answer?

It's a reasonable guess. But they're different. I have no idea. I feel really good that Danielle and Brody don't know. Does everybody have an answer? No, I don't know. I didn't know cities had steaks. That's how bad it is.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying Pittsburgh. Tony saying New Orleans. Brett saying Kansas City. KC saying KC. Mark saying New Orleans. Jason saying St. Louis. Clay saying Kansas City.

Brody saying New York. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Pittsburgh. Clay saying Kansas City. Brody saying New York. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Pittsburgh. Damn it. A Pittsburgh steak is one that's been seared at a very high temperature so that it's charred on the outside and rare on the inside.

Some say the history of this steak dates back to the Great Depression when steel mill workers cooked cuts of beef on blast furnaces that were over 2,000 degrees. If you want some tips on how to make a great steak, then go to TheMeteor.com and read Danielle Pruitt's article called How to Perfectly Cook a Venison Steak. I thought you were going to say go to Danielle's article on Meteor.com

for how to cook a Pittsburgh steak. Question three, the topic is public lands. Name four of the seven states that the Oregon National Historic Trail passes through. Name four of the seven states that the Oregon National Historic Trail passes through. Looks like some folks are doodling on their boards, maybe drawing where that trail goes. See if they can find the seven states. Tony with the quickest answer.

Tony, how do you think you're going to do on this one? Not very well, but I might have got it. Okay. Need four answers. Give me five and you're wrong. Do not write five answers, Mark. Okay. I got this one.

All right. Why do you feel so confident? Because I'm into the Oregon Trail. It's interesting. Good. Again, need four of the seven states that the Oregon National Historic Trail passes through. If we ever do a book club, there's a super fun Oregon Trail book. Which one did you read?

The one by Rinker Buck. Same one. That's the one I read. Yeah. It's a good pop approach to it. You know, I liked it. I didn't love it. And I actually recommended it to Clay at one point because there's so much darn mule talk in there.

Half the book is about mules. Because the guy actually got mules and rode with a mule and cart across as close as he could follow the trail while examining the history of the whole thing. It was interesting. Again, I liked it. I did have some regret afterwards that I didn't pick a different Oregon Trail book because I think there are maybe better ones out there and I was looking for more of the historical perspective rather than someone just going down Highway 81 or whatever road. Yeah, this is like an experiential one.

Sure. Does everybody have an answer written down? I got four. Brody? Mm-hmm. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Utah. Tony saying Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho. Brent saying Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Oregon. Casey saying Oregon, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho.

Mark saying Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Wyoming. Jason saying Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota. Clay saying Oregon, Nebraska, Missouri, Wyoming. Brody saying Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Utah. The seven states are Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. South Dakota hoes me. The room did okay. How many folks got that one right? Three people got it right. The rest of you were very close.

Again, seven states. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington. I got really nervous after I wrote Missouri. The Oregon Trail, which starts in Independence, Missouri, and ends in Oregon City, Oregon, was deemed a national trail by the Congress in 1978. The National Trails Office is part of the National Park Service. Their mission is to protect and promote routes with historical and cultural significance. Now, some of you who gave incorrect answers may have given an answer where part of the Oregon

Trail passed through, like because, of course course it had little splits and stuff like that, but I was referring specifically to the trail that is part of the National Park Service. Yeah, it'd probably been if y'all just done a little more research. If you would have played the game more when you were a kid, you know? Question four, the topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Sam Johnstone. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater

Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meateater.com. What popular fishing lure color gets its name from a French liqueur? What popular fishing lure color gets its name from a French liqueur? Quick answers

from the entire room. Everybody may get this one right. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh, we're going that quick? Um, everybody says chartreuse and everybody got it right. That was too easy. Clay said chartreuse.

We'll give it to you, Clay. I never said I was a good speller. The color chartreuse is named after a greenish, yellowish French liqueur named chartreuse that was invented in 1737. It is composed of distilled alcohol aged with 130 different herbs. The flavor has been described as very sweet with a spicy and pungent aftertaste. You know who Lefty Cray is? Yep. He's got the famous quote.

Tell it to us, Brody. If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use. Question five. The topic is conservation. The actor Iron Eyes Cody was better known by this nickname for his tear-jerking performance in a 1971 Keep America Beautiful commercial. KC with a quick answer. Here's the question again. The actor Iron Eyes Cody was better known by this nickname for his tear-jerking performance

in a 1971 Keep America Beautiful commercial. It's not Iron Eyes? performance in a 1971 Keep America Beautiful commercial. It's not Iron Eyes? Like I-R-O-N, Iron Eyes Cody. Looking for his nickname. Golly. Which is more famous than his real name. I know the commercial. I can see this.

Okay. Yeah, but I can't think of the name. Casey, do you know this one? Well, potentially. But there might be a different... I mean, this is beyond my years, right? But reaching back into something. Who was alive in 1971 in here?

Me. Right, okay. Does this sound familiar? Do you know it? I absolutely know the commercial. Okay. So you have the answer? I have a answer.

I knew his name was Iron Eyes Cody. That was his name. Clay's trying to pull more information out of you. Brent. Look into my eyes. Again, the actor Iron Eyes Cody was better known by this nickname for his tear-jerking performance in a 1971 Keep America Beautiful commercial. I don't think he was a Native American either. You're handing out hints here,

Brent. For real. Tony, you gonna get this one? Absolutely not. Okay. Does everyone have an answer who's going to come up with an answer? I'm changing my answer. Whoa.

Oh, wow. I just got the answer from Brent's eyes, and we're changing it? Has this nickname withstood the test of time, Spencer? Brody, you're helping out the room here again. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying Iron Eyes. Tony saying Blue Eyes Cody.

Brent saying... What? What does that say? Why a turtle? That ain't it. KC saying The Crying Indian. Mark saying The Crying Brave. Jason saying Captain Planet.

Clay saying Tonto. Brody saying Sad Indian. The correct answer is The Crying Indian. Oh! All right. Kdy saying sad Indian. The correct answer is the crying Indian. Oh! KC got it right. A few of you flirted with the answer, but didn't quite get there. Good try, Brody. The environmental commercial first aired on Earth Day. It depicted Cody in a Native American costume and shedding a tear

after a vehicle drives by him and throws trash out the window. Cody was one of Hollywood's go-to actors for Native American roles, but it was later revealed that he was of Italian descent. Brent, you were right on that front, but couldn't come up with the right name. You didn't have it right the first time, did you? No, no, no. I wrote Y.A. Tittle because that was a trivia question at a football game one time. I just said Y. are you Tittle?

And it was right. And my brother thought, dude, you're the smartest guy I've ever seen. Oh, this actually happened to you? Yeah. You just guessed? I just guessed. So I always figure if it happens once, it'll happen again. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a scoreboard update. Yeah, so everyone's doing pretty well. We've got Brent, Brody, Jason, and Tony, all with two points apiece. Clay, Danielle, and Mark have three points, and in first place is KC with four points. No way.

Golly, what? I don't think everyone's doing well, Phil. Two points at halftime. Hey, one time my family was playing like a big family group was playing a game. The game where you're trying to describe an action or you're trying to describe

something with words but you can't say a certain group of words. So you go, it's this. It's not charades, it's taboo. And my person got up to give their thing. And it's like, ready, go. And I said, panda.

They hadn't even said a word yet. And they go, oh, my gosh. And it was panda. Total guess. How'd you do that? I mean, for real. I wasn't cheating. You got ESPN.

I just got it. I started to just guess just by like looking in someone's eyes. Nobody ever forgot that. Some miraculous things happen in this room. We've had Steve say that divine spirit has come to him and given him the answer. The one example that happened, though, the answer was wrong. We also have his humunculus helps him out a tremendous amount. So this is the game for that sort of thing.

Right. Hey, folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness, do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes.

The topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Randy Bell. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. How many states have established populations of javelina? How many states have established populations of javelina? Can I ask you a question about the meaning of established? It means that they have javelina that live and breed there. It's not just a random solo javelina that wandered in that would not count.

If there is a javelina that walked into Wisconsin right now, Wisconsin is not one of the states. That would not be a state where there is an established population. Understood U.S. states here. U.S. states, again, how many states have established populations of javelina? Does Mexico call their territory states? That's right. Good question, Casey. Just the United States.

When you're in this position, you need clarification. There you go. Tony with a quick answer. Tony, you got this one? Probably not. Okay. Brody doing a lot of hemming and hawing over here. We're all hemming and hawing about the same state.

Who has hunted javelina before? Nobody. Oh, KC has. Okay. KC, you have a little bit of an advantage. I almost got charged by one. I almost. With you all hunting. Listen, Mark had an encounter with a raccoon. Careful. And.

Does everybody have an answer? Hold on. I'm going for the gold. Okay. I want to hear the end of that story after this. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying three. Tony saying three.

Brent saying five. KC saying five. Mark saying three. Jason saying four. Clay saying four. Brody saying three. The correct answer is three. They know this pretty well.

Javelina populations aren't well known, but estimates put herd sizes at about 100,000 in Texas, 45,000 in Arizona, and 5,000 in New Mexico. Javelina populations were on a nationwide decline for much of the 20th century, but started to rebound once states treated them like a game animal. Okay. Tell me why there aren't javelinas in Southern California. Yeah. So I looked this up and people had described it as the Colorado River being a very, very hard boundary for them. So they're not in California yet, but javelina have been moving further North.

They're now on the rim of the grand Canyon, which it seems like that wasn't a place that they were, uh, maybe about 50 years ago. You guys talked about Armadillos recently. They're moving up North to showing up in weird places. I like it. They are weird. Yeah. They're saying that someday they might be in Southern Indiana.

Ooh, let's go. Possum on the hatchet. That's it. Question seven. The topic on the half sheet. That's it. Question seven. The topic is woodsmanship. Merriam-Webster defines this phenomenon as the reddish light

seen near sunset or sunrise on the summits of mountains. Merriam-Webster defines this phenomenon as the reddish light seen near sunset or sunrise on the summits of mountains. I don't think this is woodsmanship. No. Listen, this is much closer to the target category than a lot of Spencer's questions are.

That's right, Clay. We once had a woodsmanship question about what the most popular Girl Scout cookie is. The tie there being that Girl Scouts participate in many things similar to the Boy Scouts, thus woodsmanship. Again, the question. Is Merriam-Webster defines this phenomenon as the reddish light seen near sunset or sunrise on the summits of mountains? This is a little unfair to you folks who don't live near mountains like Brody over here. Tony, it seems like you knew this anyway, though. I'm getting a little more confidence after that Javelina thing.

Okay. I think I might have it. Good. This, again, is question seven. Oh, no. Clay lives in the mountains? I mean, that's what he'd say. Come on, man.

I mean, anything over 2,000 feet is a mountain, right? 1,000 foot of relief? Is that the definition? That's what I've heard. Okay. You run out of excuses to get this one right, Clay. Golly. I don't know, man.

You will in a few seconds. Marcus, do you have this one? I have an answer. I would say I'm 50-50 on it. Okay. 60-40. It's the first question I felt great about all day.

Okay. Me too. You know it, Brett? Absolutely. Do you really? Am I going to feel dumb after this? Clay, is it better to... You should.

Is it better to not answer if you don't think you're even close or just put a real bad answer down? I'm just trying to... I mean, I'm not trying to be cute and just have, like, red light. Clay, I mean, I'm not trying to be cute and just have like red light. Clay, I think you're running out of time

though, Clay. I think I'm out. I just got to tap. Does everybody have an answer? Panda! Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying red haze. Tony saying elpenglow. Brent saying why a tittle.

Casey saying what does that say? Casey fire. Mark saying elpenglow. Jason saying twilight. Clay saying panda. Brody saying elpenglow. The correct answer is elpenglow. Elpenglow can happen in direct or indirect sunlight.

One version is where the sun sets behind the horizon from an observer's point of view, but is not yet set from the mountain's point of view. Another version is where the sun has set from the mountain's point of view, but red light waves interacting with moisture in the atmosphere continue to illuminate the mountain. People give you so much grief on here, but I have learned, like, one thing already. Thank you, Brent. Tonight, Brent, you can step out of your hotel room, look up at the bridges, and you will see Alpenglow

probably around, like, 745 or so. So take a look. It's especially, it looks even better when there's snow on the mountain, like there is right now. So it's one word, Alpenglow. Alpenglow, one word. Yeah, there's no way I was getting that.

Question eight. The topic is cooking. What type of fish is unagi? What type of fish is unagi? I'll spell that for you. U-N-A-G-I. Danielle and Brody think they know it. Clay, I was just telling you that answer.

You're really showing people what's going on there. Now, that was a pretty heavy hint. What categorization are we looking for? It is cooking. What type of fish is unagi? The topic is cooking. If I have this right, it's the most ironic right answer I've ever gotten. Okay.

Pretty excited about it. Clay just showed the whole room the answer. The wrong answer. The wrong answer. What are we doing here? Clay, you're lucky people like you so much. Clay needs help spelling perch here. Let me see what you wrote down now, Clay.

What do you got going on there? Does everybody have an answer? You're closer when you're first. Does everybody have an answer? Yes. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Clay's on his third version now. We have Danielle saying eel.

Tony saying blowfish. Brent saying sushi. KC saying eel. Mark saying tuna. Jason sang eel. Clay, he wrote down salmon. Then he wrote down, what'd you write down? Freshwater. Now he wrote down trout. Brody sang eel. Before the buzzer.

The correct answer is eel. More specifically, it's a freshwater eel, but if you just said eel, we will give it to you. Yeah, I got it right. You wanna know why? We were just joking about 2000s TV trivia because the only one I would get right is Friends. And sure enough, there's a Friends joke about Unagi

where Ross says it's like his awareness of the environment. And they joke with him like, no, I'm pretty sure that's sushi. So you were the last person I would have guessed as a Friends fanboy. Mark, just wait until all the surprises you hear from me. You've surprised me in many ways, KC, but this is a new one. In 2014, American Unagi in Maine became the country's first hatchery to raise glass eels. Prior to that, almost every eel purchased in America was caught locally, flown internationally to be raised overseas, and then flown back to be served.

Did you get it right, Tony? I'm a slump. Phil, we have two questions left. Where does the leaderboard stand? It's a great game. Everyone is still in the game with the exception of Brent Reeves. He did not hit the home run. He lost two points.

Just like Little League. All over again. Jason and Clay have three points apiece. It's a good place to be. Tony Peterson has four points. And we've got a four-way tie for first place. Mark, Casey, Danielle, and Brody all have five points. The corners.

I would be tickled if we can go to a four-way tiebreaker, so keep it up. Yeah. Question nine. the topic is biology this next great question comes via brad jameson if you have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com this mosquito transmitted virus that causes birth defects first appeared in the united States in 2016 when a Miami community had an outbreak. This mosquito transmitted virus that causes birth defects first appeared in the United States in 2016 when a Miami community had an outbreak. Some quick answers in the room, but it didn't seem like those folks

are very confident. What are you reading off of Brody there, Clay? He's squirming. Okay. Are you squirming? I got an answer written down. Okay. Okay. KC's squirming. Oh, the corner? Oh, Danielle looked real confident, though, over there. I feel like the last

time I had trivia, it was, we had a similar question, and I got it wrong. Yeah. Well, it's not. I feel like the last time I had trivia, we had a similar question and I got it wrong. Is this the same question? It's not. I think the answer I had was the right answer that time. What year was it? 2016. This mosquito-transmitted virus that causes

birth defects first appeared in the United States in 2016 when a Miami community had an outbreak. What you got on your arm? I think everybody's got an answer. Brett is immune to all mosquito transmitted diseases.

All right, you gotta explain that. I have Brody's asking about a new tattoo I have in my arm. I came here right from the tattoo parlor. Did you really? That is right. Do you recognize what that is, Brody? I can't see.

That's how it should sit? There's an ink blob that's building there. Yes, this is it. Cartoon? That is the dog from the Duck Hunt video game who's holding up a double that he killed. If you were to kill a double in the game Duck Hunt, the dog would show up holding both of the ducks. That is the tattoo that I just got about one hour ago. Is there any significance to that other than just it was like a cool thing?

You could use that as a trivia question. We have had that as a trivia question before. It was about the 1984 video game Duck Hunt, which about half the room got. The other half wrote down Duck Hunter, which is not correct. How much did that? We need a Spencer tattoo-related trivia question at some point. How much did that tattoo set you back? $300.

$300? That's what a tattoo costs. Okay. Is that going to change your mind about getting one, Clay? I mean, if I was hoping to get a little bit bigger one, do you think they'd give me a deal

on a duck? Maybe. Are you really considering getting one? No. Okay. Does everybody have an answer? Again, this is a question

about the mosquito-transmitted virus. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying West Nile. Tony saying Zika. You got it. Brett saying West Nile. KC saying Zika. Mark saying malaria.

Jason saying Zika. Clay saying Zika. Brody saying Zika. They got it. The correct answer is Zika. It's not just KC and Brody. KC and Brody. The CDC issued travel advisories for expecting parents in 2015 to multiple foreign countries that had Zika. Then they did the same in 2016 when it appeared in Florida.

The CDC reported 224 cases of Zika that were acquired in the United States in 2016, seven cases in 2017, and zero ever since. Phil, we have one question left. I think that made things interesting. Where do we stand? Well, now Brody and KC are tied up in first place with six points, but... I'll have you know, he's sitting in my normal seat. Oh, you think that has something to do with it? Oh, it was calculated.

I was the first one in here. Very uncomfortable. Okay, smart move, KC. However, Danielle, Mark, and Tony are still very much in the game with five points. Okay. Okay, I'll have five. Last question. Seems like we're due for a tiebreaker.

Question 10. The topic is fishing. What brand was ordered to pay Lowrance's parent company $38.8 million for downscan imaging patent infringement in 2017? What brand was ordered to pay Lowrance's parent company $38.8 million for downscan imaging patent infringement in 2017? Tony, with a quick answer, Tony, are you going to get this one right? I'm going to be real close if I don't. You probably own the boat

with the most electronics in this room would be my guess. You think that gives you an advantage here? It might. Okay. It might. You look the most confident. I'll say that. There's only like three guesses here that I have.

Maybe five. Eight. What brand was ordered to pay Lowrance's parent company $38.8 million for downscan imaging patent infringement in 2017? I'd like to buy Val. I like that first Val emphasis you put on Lowrance. I'm into that. Okay. I'm into that.

Lowrance's parent company was ordered to get paid $38.8 million. Does everybody have an answer? Mm-hmm. Hang on. Brody, are you going to get this one right? Brody looks nervous. No comments. Casey, are you going to get this one right? I'm kind of

sitting where Tony is. Okay. Feels like a tiebreaker is on the way. It's hard to be great at this game if you have two holes in your life. One hole you can get away with. Two holes you don't stand a chance. Clay, we got to go fishing.

Let's go fishing. Cooking and fishing. Danielle, how we doing? I can't even think of a brand. That's not going to go fishing. Let's go fishing. Cooking and fishing. Danielle, how we doing? I can't even think of a brand. That's not going to help you. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Danielle saying Bass Pro Shop. Tony saying Humminbird. Brent saying Minn Kota.

Casey saying Humminbird. Mark saying Humminbird. Jason saying Humminbird. Clay saying Shimano. Brody saying Garminbird. Jason saying Humminbird. Clay saying Shimano. Brody saying Garmin. We have a correct answer in the room. The correct answer is Garmin. Making Brody

greatness at its best. Brody Henderson with the buzzer. The patent feud between Lowrance. Stop watching LeBron James play. The patent feud between Lowrance and Garmin had been playing out in court since 2015 before a Texas judge sided with Lowrance. The great irony is that just a few years prior,

Lowrance was sued by Humminbird over patent infringement for side-scan technology. So a lot of folks who said Humminbird, that was a logical answer, but it was not correct. Brody, well done. Seven correct answers makes you the winner. Now you get to choose where the $500 donation from MeatEater goes. So what's it going to be? You know, can we have a vote?

Have we ever done that before? Do whatever you want with the money. Start throwing out some names. Come on now. Western Native Trout Initiative. Pheasants Forever. Does it have to be one of these on this board? No.

It can be whoever you want as long as it has a tie to a conservation organization. Man. Mule Deer Foundation. Man, I've done them a couple times. Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation. All right. Then we'll do that one. Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation. All right. Then we'll do that one. Arkansas Game and Fish.

Too late. CCA. Too late. Called it. Next time. I could borrow a mic. Now, who are we donating to here, Brent? The Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation.

What do you like about that? They do a tremendous amount of work, not only for the state of Arkansas, but for the people that work in the agencies. We did a big money raiser not too long ago and got to go on a bear den study with the biologists. Through money we raised, they were able to purchase a bunch of GPS collars for bears and did some extra stuff that they didn't have in the budget to do. And these folks helped support that too.

Very good. Now, I'll have you know, Brody has never done this before. He's never taken advice from Brody. Thank you, Brody. He's in a good mood. Well done, Brody. Winning will do that for you. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia,
