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 Stephen Rinella, Brody Henderson, Giannis Poutelis, Hayden Samick, Randall Williams, Seth Morris, and Mackenzie Elmquist. Now Mackenzie, this is your first time on the show, so tell folks what you do here at

MeatEater. Yeah, it is. So I am the e-commerce merchandising manager. This means that I manage our product catalogs across all of our brands, building out product pages, supporting different campaigns with merchandising, and working alongside of the rest of the e-commerce team to build out a great user experience for our customers. And that means sometimes arguing with Steve before the mics were turned on here. You guys got into...

Mackenzie just explained to listeners what she does immediately. Part of her job description as of a few minutes ago is arguing with Steve. You guys placed, what, a $5 bet? It started out at $100. Oh, $100? A couple years ago. Who suggested that number? I said $100, but then I didn't want it to become tense.

I won $1,000 from Yanni in a bet once, and I forgave him. And then I won $1,000 from my sister-in-law and forgave her. Are you going to forgive Mackenzie if you... No, that's why I like to keep him to the point where I can feel free to nag someone. We'll get the answer soon. 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 is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.

And each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat for the stat of the week this week. We're looking at win percentage for competitors who have been on the show more than five times. Do you have any guesses as to who is at the top of our leaderboard? I bet you it's Clay because he's only been on like five times and he's got three wins over him. I'm going to go with Brody still. Here we go. At the top of the leaderboard is Steve.

Yeah, that makes sense. Who has won 39.5% of the games he's appeared in. That's followed by Clay and Randall at 37.5%, Brody at 35.7%, and Giannis at 24.2%. Dude, that's my favorite stat, man. You're only counting. Just say I was dogging on that stat a minute ago and how much I like it now. That's right. When I win today, it's going to jump right up above.

I got a stat for you. Yeah, let's hear it. Who won? I won one in my truck. Uh-huh. And it came down to a tiebreaker between Brody and Randall. That's a fact. And you wouldn't have even needed the tiebreaker, right?

Is that what you said? No, it was tied up. Okay. It was tied up between me, Randall, and Brody. And you asked what year did Mount St. Helens cook off. Brody said 81. Randall said something stupid. Yeah.

I said 1980, and I had it exactly right. So not only did I win, my kid was there to witness it. Not only did I win, but I like double, I guess double won because I got the tiebreaker exactly right. You got the communist victory? I got the commie little kid victory. Now no other

competitor has won more than 20% of the games they've appeared in. And this is our zero percenter question of the week, which tests how much our players have retained from previous games. This question was from episode 359. The topic is conservation and nobody got it right. The Algonquin wolf got its new name in 2016.

What was it known as before that? I wasn't here for this. So do you have a guess? The Algonquin wolf got its new name in 2016. What was it known as before that? Some kind of a red wolf. Eastern wolf. Timber wolf.

The correct answer was eastern wolf, Brody. The incorrect answers given were timber wolf, Mexican wolf, red wolf, blue wolf, and Adirondack wolf. Eastern wolf. Brody, you were here for that. Yeah, I think I said red wolf that time. I'm surprised Hayden gets to come down here and play the way he's messing with that phone so much. I literally didn't touch it today.

I catch him with that phone all the time and then I was listening to my chart the other day and he's still messing with the phone. If my win percentage was higher to be acknowledged in Spencer's first stat, then I'd be right there with you. Clearly, I'm not cheating or I'm just terrible at cheating.

No, I think we could find someone that'd be much happier to be here than you. He got in trouble. I'm very happy to be here. He got in trouble when I was listening. He got in trouble three times for messing with his phone. Well, there was a very specific issue that had to be dealt with time. You were feigning that you were doing post lookups you're you're like i'll just do some post question lookups well i i do get curious i don't know he's like he like he like gets on his phone to try to research ways

that he could have been right now for the housekeeping portion today i'm going to throw it to yannis who has some exciting details to share about a meat eater giveaway. Take it away, Gianni. This counts as housekeeping? That's right. For today, it does. Just go with it. Well, cleaning up the house, I'm here to tell you that there's a giveaway going on. It's a terrible segue, but...

He just found a giveaway in his closet. Hold on. What's that? Underneath Bro just found a giveaway in his closet. Hold on. What's that? Underneath Brody here, I see a giveaway. All you have to do is go to TheMeteor.com slash giveaway. If you enter, you will have a chance to win a

That includes anything and everything we sell and bonus. this is almost cooler than 3 000 bucks i will get on a zoom or google meet call whatever kind of call you want to do i'm old school i just like to call people sometimes and not look at them yep but i will help you go through and pick out the best gear that you need how would this conversation go 3 000 bucks say m Mackenzie was our winner,

and you had to ask her some questions, figure out what she needs. How would that go? Yeah. Mackenzie, what do you plan on hunting this fall? This fall? Probably some mule deer. Mule deer?

Okay. Do you like to glass when you're hunting mule deer? Yeah, and a little bit of hiking around. A little bit of hiking around. A little bit of both. Okay. How's your optics package looking right now? It could use some improvement. There you go.

announcement for today, but I'm going to save that for the end of the show. So stick around for those details. Now the Shelby index for today's round 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. I've never sat next to Brody. Intimidating. I know. He always sits in that same little stupid little spot. And I looked over there.

I've never sat in this seat before. Game on, suckers! I'm on my phone. Get some answers. Question one. The topic is hunting, and this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Daryl Taylor for sending this great question. What do you got?

I took my glasses off. For sending this great question, Daryl is going to get a book signed by Steve. Place these shotgun pellet sizes in order from smallest to biggest. Here they are. Number one, T, triple B, number seven and a half. Again, the topic is hunting. You need to place these shotgun pellet sizes in order from smallest to biggest. So smallest first, biggest last. Here they are. Number one, T, triple B, number seven and a half. This is fun to watch the room.

They're like doing a math problem here. Steve, are you going to get this one right? Yeah, I got it, but I don't think that's math. No, it's not math, but it looks like, Steve, I used to be a mathlete, if you going to get this one right? Yeah, I got it, but I don't think that's math. No, it's not math, but it looks like... Steve, I used to be a mathlete, if you didn't know, where you'd go to mathlete competitions. A math what? A mathlete, Yanni.

Say them again, Spencer. Number one. Is that the same season as Latin Club? T, triple B, number seven and a half. What's that? Is that the same season as Latin Club? I don't know. Or is it spring or whatever? But it looked like when everyone's writing in their whiteboards, seven and a half. What's that? Is that the same season as Latin Club? I don't know.

But it looked like when everyone's writing in their whiteboards. This looks like a math league competition. How you doing over there, Brody? Again, smallest to biggest. My daughter and I were playing some kind of a wordle about math this morning and she said, yeah, for all of us math nerds. I was very happy to hear her describe herself that way.

Oh, very good. Yeah. Brody, are you ready? See you in another two years if she still likes math. I don't know. Why are you asking me? Well, you're one of the only ones who's left writing. Hayden, are you ready?

Because if Brody ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Hayden, how we doing? The pressure's not helping. Come on. Come on, Hayden. Smallest to biggest. Do you have a change of heart, Randall? Come on, man.

It's like how much time do you need to give him? Well, I wrote a biggest to smallest. Is everybody ready?'d be wrong. Is everybody ready? That'd be wrong. Hayden. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Smallest to biggest.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying seven and a half, triple B, T. You're missing one in there. See, that's why I took my time, man. I only heard three. I only heard three. You said three. No, he said the I took my time, man. I only heard three. I only heard three. You said three. No, he said the way that he was phrasing it was kind of confusing.

He was saying number one, so one shot. What? See, this is why I took my time. How many people made that mistake? I did. Me. Okay, hide your boards. He did.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do you want to rewrite them here? No, everybody got it wrong. Well, no, because I don, no, no, no. Do you want to rewrite them here? No, everybody got it wrong. Well, no, because I don't have four answers. I only have three. I only have three. I think you better just go with if you got it in the correct order for what you got. Okay, this is what we'll do then.

What? So one of the choices was one shot. He misheard it too. So the only one who did it correct was Hayden. Hayden's taking his time. Here we go. It's so funny that while he's talking about how smart he is, he's like delivering a question wrong. I did that?

Yeah, you're like, oh, it's a math. Steve sang 7 1⁄2, triple B, T. Seth sang 7 1⁄2, triple B, T. Hayden sang 7 1⁄2, T. He's wrong anyway. Triple B, 1. Well, at least I have the whole answer. Brody sang 7 1⁄2, triple B, T. Giannis sang 7 1⁄2, triple B. One. Well, at least I have the whole answer. Brody saying seven and a half. Triple B. T.

Giannis saying seven and a half. Triple B. T. McKenzie saying seven and a half. Triple B. T. Randall saying seven and a half. Triple B. T. The correct answer is seven and a half. One. Triple B.

T. Well, I'm making a call on that one. Either we all have it wrong. Everyone got it right except me. Why'd you put an extra one in there, Hayden? I'm the only person with a complete answer. No, I was pulling the T out. Even with the T out, he still loses.

Well, that's okay. As long as it's like a net neutral, I'm happy. And I think the room, had they had one shot in there, would have placed it in the right spot. Oh, yeah. Agree? 100%. Everyone but Hayden. Sorry, Hayden. That's bullshit.

Why would you think that it would go, why would you think it would leave the number system and then come back to it? Well, like, they're like, 7, 6 three two triple t he's gonna look something up one he's gonna look something up which will explain his logic he's gonna he's gonna google search ways in which seven and a half is about the truth about gut about pellet size seven and a half is about

0.095 inches in diameter the next smallest from that list is number one at 0.16 inches triple b at 0.19 inches and t at 0.2 inches if you want more on that subject then go read steven ranelis 2018 article on the meat eater.com calledcom called Shotgun Shells and Shot Size, Everything You Need to Know. I almost want to retell my story about when a guy threatened me with a 50-gauge shotgun, not realizing that it was the inverse correlation. But go ahead. Question two. The topic is cooking. This state, famous for vinegary barbecue, has two competing styles, which are referred to as Eastern style and Lexington style. This state, famous for vinegary barbecue, has two competing styles, which are referred to as Eastern style and Lexington style.

Quick answers from a lot of the room. Steve's still thinking. Randall, do you have this one right? I'm not sure. Giannis with the quickest answer. Gianni, you have this one? I feel like I do. Okay, again, the two styles are Eastern and Lexington.

Birdie, are you just writing out your options over there and then you're going to pick one? Can I see? Is there a U.S. map I can take a quick peek at? Yeah, no, that's what I want to look at. Because there's like a thing I'm trying to think of. This state famous for vinegary barbecue has two competing styles, which are referred to as Eastern style and Lexington style.

Brody, we are waiting on you. Are you ready? No. All right. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Tennessee. Seth saying South Carolina. Hayden saying South Carolina.

Brody saying Kentucky. Giannis saying North Carolina. Mackenzie saying South Carolina. Randall saying North Carolina. Brody saying Kentucky. Giannis saying North Carolina. McKenzie saying South Carolina. Randall saying North Carolina. We have a correct answer in the room. It's North Carolina. I knew it. God. Both barbecue sauces heavily feature

vinegar with the main difference being that Lexington uses tomatoes while Eastern does not. Some other distinctions are that Eastern often cooks the whole pig while Lexington focuses on pork shoulders. And Eastern barbecue is usually topped with a mayo-based coleslaw while Lexington uses a barbecue sauce-based red slaw. Well, Yanni married into a North Carolina family. So did I.

It's not like he knew it. We served both styles of that barbecue at our wedding. So did you know it, know it, like you knew it? He wrote it instantly. Yeah. Which I should have taken as a clue. If Yanni knows it, it must be related to him having married someone. Question three, the topic is gear. Merriam-Webster defines this three-letter

word as, quote, a pronged spear for catching fish and amphibians. Again, the topic is gear. Merriam-Webster defines this three-letter word as, quote, a pronged spear for catching fish and amphibians.

Quick answers from most of the room. Seth and Mackenzie, a little behind. Seems like everyone else is very confident. Seth, are you going to get this one right? I don't know. I think. If anybody from Michigan DNR is listening, you guys need to change your rules.

Shush. Shush, shush, shush. That's going to give away something? It could. Come on. Just come on. Mackenzie, how we doing? Three-letter word is really throwing me off.

Oh, did you say that? I did. Shit, you gave the answer away. Oh, crap. You said that? I said that. What the hell did you say that for? It's a little too much information.

Yeah. Well, now I feel really dumb. TMI. Somebody is not going to get it right. Yeah, well, now I've got like a 0% chance. Mackenzie? I'm just writing something. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve, Seth, Hayden, Brody, Giannis all saying gig. Giannis, or excuse me, McKenzie saying Rod, Randall saying gig. They got it. The correct answer is gig. Although most associate gigging with bullfrogs, it's done with suckers and flounders as well. A fish gig is about

8 to 14 feet long, while a frog gig is about 5 to 8 feet long. If you want to learn how to do it, then go to TheMeateteater.com and read Kubi Brown's article called How to Gig for Frogs. I agree with you, Giannis. Michigan's prohibition on using artificial lights while gigging frogs,

I don't know where it came from, but I bet you no one can remember the rationale. And whatever the rationale was isn't relevant anymore. And it's just, frankly, a dumb law. Do you think a lot of frog gigging goes down in Michigan? A lot more would if you could use lights. Well, but when we were, it was a shock to us when we learned that you couldn't. I mean, like, the last thing my dad would ever

read was the fishing regs. When I was a little kid, we definitely did not. Then one day someone's like, you know, you can't do that. We're like, what are you talking about? I bet you there's very little gigging that actually goes on because people probably do read the regs and they just go out and catch them at night by hand or net,

which is what we do now. But I don't, like, if you're a frog in Michigan, the odds you have of being killed by a human being, I bet you more get struck by lightning than killed by humans.

What is gigging? Spearing. A little spear. Like a gig is a spear. It looks like a pitchfork. Okay. A little mini pitchfork with barbsbs And you just How long is it? Long 5 to 8 feet long For frogs

8 to 14 Yeah you don't throw it You don't throw You can learn how to make your own In the new book that's coming out And listen Those things work Unbelievably well

Yeah the homemade job is Yeah You can learn how to make that Just with a stick For your kids Catch crayfish And some tools You don't need anything.

No metal. So you like skewer the stick out at the end? Yep. Question four. The topic is hunting. What was the name of the lion that was killed by a Minnesota dentist in 2015? Steve with a quick, confident answer again. What was the name of the lion that was killed by a Minnesota dentist in 2015?

I would like to bet if you asked the name of the dentist. That's what I was just thinking. You think you would get that right? No. I would have missed it. I would have liked it if you said, what occupation? I considered that wording. And I would have had it.

Went with this instead. It's Walter something, isn't it? Walter Palmer. I know where he was from. Wasn't he from Minnesota? That was in the question. Minnesota dentist in 2015. It's weird that I get them all right.

Do you want to guess what year he killed the lion too? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cecil, Cecil, Cecil. Mackenzie saying Rory. Randall saying Cecil. Cecil is the correct answer. Cecil was 13 years old when he was killed by Walter Palmer in Zimbabwe.

Can you not give the year? It's like, come on. According to Vox, the hunter shot the lion with a crossbow. The buck was two years old when he was killed by Spencer. Then finished him off 40 hours later with a rifle. Although the hunt was legal, Palmer said he regretted killing the lion because of public outcry. Yeah, he didn't regret it before that. No.

He didn't regret it until after he got yelled at. Come on. Why do you not think that's relevant Cause it's like So every time you That buck was Three years old I enjoy that context It's the intent that the older

The line is the worse The offense was Oh I don't know what an old line would be It was just one of the details Question five The topic is public lands This next great question know what an old line would be. It was just one of the details. Question five. The topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Richard Field. If you have a question you think

is right for Mediator Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themediator.com. Biscayne National Park, which is located off the coast of this state, is 95% water. Biscayne National Park, which is located off the coast of this state,

is 95% water. Looks like the room will do well on this one again. Is everybody ready? I'm starting to question my question. Go ahead and question it. Steve, with the changing of the answer, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying

Louisiana. Saying Louisiana. Hayden saying Maryland. Brody saying Florida. Giannis saying Florida. Mackenzie saying Texas. Randall saying Florida. The correct answer is Florida.

You saw me writing it. Everybody had an answer. Your board was down. Did you have it written before Louisiana? No, but see how I started to write it? Doesn't work, though. Biscayne National Park is located about 20 miles south of Miami. About 160,000 of the park's 170,000 acres are underwater.

The terrestrial portion of the park is mostly islands made up of coral, sand, and mangrove forest. Biscayne is home to the Simapour prickly pear cactus, which some say is the rarest plant in the United States. Phil, we are halfway through our game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. I think it's close at the top. It is indeed. Mackenzie is in last place with one point. Hayden's coming up next with two,

which isn't a lot of points. It's just weird because he hasn't picked up his phone at all during this game. I don't know if those are related. It could be just a coincidence. Oh, my God. Extremely disinterested in this whole process. I'm very interested, man.

Steve and Seth have three points apiece. Brody has four. And tied up in first place are Giannis and Randall with five points. Oh my god. Perfect game. Come on, man. So you guys gave them the point for the question that nobody completely answered? Yes.

We did that. That was my mistake. I should have said one shot instead of number one or put it somewhere else. I'll take responsibility on that one. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And, boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes and our raffle and

sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join. Our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of you know, sucking high and titty there, OnX is now in Canada. The great features that you love in OnX

The topic is wildlife. This next great question comes to us via Kevin Dunphy. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. America's sixth president, who was born in Massachusetts once kept a pet alligator in the White House. America's sixth president who was born in Massachusetts once kept a pet alligator in the White House.

Steve with a quick answer. Yeah, but Randall's going to get it. If he doesn't get it, something's wrong with our educational system. You have like three degrees in history. Is that right? That's correct. So you're 100% chance you get this one right? No, not at all.

It's kind of in his sweet spot a little bit too. Big president's guy. He likes alligators. I wish I would have cheated before you put your board down. That's kind of a chance. I wish I would have cheated before you put your board down. That's kind of a chance. I wish I also remembered that song. By number five or six, he kind of stopped paying attention to who was president, you know?

Oh, you're going to do a long A? Where you're like, he was a president. Again, America's sixth president. Right when they started all having big mutton chops, they're like, no one remembers him. He once kept

a pet alligator in the White House. Yanni, what are your odds on this one? Extremely low. Okay. Does everybody have an answer? I could be in the totally wrong time period.

There's no way I'm right either. Don't worry. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying, what does that say? Oh, Jackson. Jackson. It got crossed out a little bit. Hayden saying Jackson.

Brody saying J.Q. Adams. Giannis saying Cleveland. Mackenzie saying Grant. Randall saying John Quincy Adams. The correct answer is John Quincy Adams. Sweet! Brody gets it right. Really? Adams received

the gator as a gift from a French revolutionary hero. Lafayette was just regifting the gator that he received as a present after the war. Adams liked the gator and kept it in a White House bathroom for a few months before it moved to a more permanent home. Yeah, because Jackson, he wasn't until like the early,

like well into the 1800s, like 18... 1830, 1832. Question seven. The topic is hunting. That was a bone for Randall, I think. Yeah. What hunting family started the DeerCast smartphone app in 2018? Again, the topic is hunting.

What hunting family started the DeerCast smartphone app in 2018? Yanni, you got this one right? Yes, sir. Do you have the app? Yes, sir. Do you have the app? Yes, sir. You do? Okay. Well, it's still on my...

What do you rate it? I was actually... I almost deleted it this morning because I saw it. What? This morning? I haven't been... Yeah, because I was... I don't know.

I was... You know what I was doing? I was putting apps in folders. Ah. But anyways, I'm not currently paying for it. Okay. I'm someone that's just going to pay for one month of it in November. Just there's something to get me more fired up, you know?

What a coincidence for Yanni. Steve, are you going to get this one right? 50-50. Again, what hunting family started the DeerCast smartphone app in 2018? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Drurys. Seth saying Busbys.

Hayden saying Drury. Brody saying Drury. Giannis saying Drury. Mackenzie saying Shockey. Randall saying Primos. I wouldn't think of that. I wouldn't call that a family. The correct answer is the Drurys.

What, Primos? It's just one gentleman. Yeah. Is that a family? It's just one gentleman. Yeah. Is that a family? I'm sure they are. Well, I'm sure Will has a family. The app is advertised. You know what I'm saying.

The app is advertised as the equivalent of having Mark and Terry Drury in your back pocket. DeerCast is supposed to help predict whitetail movement by using weather and moon data. The app has 3.9 stars via 1,500 reviews in the Apple Store. Steve, you should release an app where people could just hit the button and you'd whisper yell at them when they're lining up on a deer. Oh, yeah. You just turn it on. Even when you're by yourself.

What's the problem? Yeah, what's the problem? What's taking so long? What are you doing? Question eight. What are you doing? The topic is woodsmanship. And then it heats up.

Shoot. Shoot. Name one of the five states that have an average wind speed over 20 miles per hour. Again, the topic is woodsmanship. Name one of the five states that have an average wind speed over 20 miles per hour. Seth, you have this one right. Quick answer. Is this anywhere in the state or just like overall?

I can't tell you how they gathered this data specifically. I think I got it. I don't think they took it from just like the capital of the place. Again, name one of the five states. In the parking lot. That have an average wind speed over 20 miles per hour. Is this year round just during one season? Again, I can't.

I don't know the specifics of the gathering of data for this study. I hate that much wind. It's probably the overall average of all the weather stations in the state. That's good. And they take them in like what, 10 meters in the air or something like that is where they measure the weather. Something like that. I think our closest one here is in Belgrade at the airport. Yanni, how we doing?

Need one of the five states. You got a one in ten, Yanni. Yeah, you guys ready? I'm ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Wyoming. Seth saying Kansas. Hayden saying North Dakota.

Brody saying Wyoming. Giannis saying South Dakota. Mackenzie saying Florida. Randall saying Wyoming. All the heavy hitters got Wyoming. The five states are... Formerly a heavy hitter for me. The five states are South Dakota, Montana,

Wyoming, Idaho, and Colorado. You know why it's so windy in Wyoming, Spencer? Is it because Montana sucks and Colorado blows? No, you got the wrong states. Wrong states? You're telling me with all the hurricanes... Nebraska sucks and Idaho...

Florida doesn't have at least 20 miles per hour. Not in Florida. That's a good idea, though, to factor in the hurricanes. But they have upwards of 160 miles per hour at certain times of the year. South Dakota is the windiest state in America with an average wind speed of 21.3 miles per hour. That's followed by Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Colorado.

Rounding out the top 10 are Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, and North Dakota. The five least windy states are Delaware, California, Louisiana, Connecticut, and Hawaii. Yeah, I got a little something for you. What do you got? The highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. It was just, what, in New Hampshire? Yeah, Mount Washington. Deadliest mountain in the United States.

Oh, really? Yeah, because people go up there in their shorty pants and stuff. When it's all nice out, it just gets such volatile weather that people are always dying of exposure from being ill-prepared. The video of that wind coming through during that blizzard, it's like CGI. You're like, that can't be real life when you watch it. It's crazy. What's the elevation? I've been up there.

It's not that high. Three or four. It's not that high. Oh, wow. But it's like, there's all these little diagrams that show why it gets such hellacious winds. You can drive to the top. We have two questions left. I think we might have a perfect game still going.

Who? Where do we stand? No. No. He lost it. No. We got a a perfect game still going. No. He lost it. We got a perfect tie going, man. Mackenzie, Seth, and Hayden are out. Damn it.

Steve, you're basically out. You've got five points. In first place are Randall, Giannis, and Brody tied up with seven points. Oh, Yanni caught up with them? Caught up? Yanni and I were tied at five. Brody caught up. Brody caught up.

Pay attention. Question nine. The topic is fishing. I thought he was just making small talk. This next great question comes to us via Parker Schultz. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. According to the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, this Great Lake is the shallowest and warmest.

Again, according to the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, this Great Lake is the shallowest and warmest. Steve, you have this one right? Oh yeah, buddy Quite confident You would need Brody, Giannis, and Randall to slip up here Two times in a row Two times in a row I've seen stranger things happen

Gianni, you have this one right? I think so Brody? Yes Randall? I don't know Okay So these guys all got to get it wrong?

Yes. And you need to get it right. Does everybody have an answer? Hold on. I'm changing. I'm changing. I'm changing. I'm changing.

I'm changing. Can we find a different pathway for victory for me? Okay. Giannis is leaking confidence over there. I want to go back to that deal where you can win on the overtime. The communist method. Hayden, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying Erie. Seth saying Huron. Hayden saying Erie. Brody saying Erie. Giannis saying Michigan. Mackenzie saying Erie. Randall saying Ontario. You guys really spread it out.

Everything except Superior was named. The correct answer is Lake Erie. Yes. Brody got it right. The average depth of Lake Erie is just 62 feet deep, and in the lake's western basin, the average depth is less than 30 feet deep. In contrast, Lake Superior's average depth is 483 feet deep,

which is 270 feet greater than Erie's deepest point. Big Lake, it said, never gives up her dead one. Did you see who, uh, did Gordon Lightfoot recently die? Last week. Did I see that? Yeah. You already hit that? I talked about

this for 30 minutes. I wasn't here. 30 minutes? It was a lot. Easily. Wow. Where those bodies are lying, it was 500 feet of water. And you couldn't reach that at the time, but people have now, or some guys in the 90s made it down there.

And the bodies are still identifiable. So the water's so cold. Wow. 33 degrees, zero current, zero light, zero life. They're just going to leave them there? They're not capable of bringing them up, or they don't want to? One thing they did do is they took the bell off,

and you know like the church bell chimed until it rang 29 times for each man on the edmund fitzgerald they took the bell off and put a new bell there with all 29 names on it and um we were saying on the show that they need to go down and scratch gordon lightfoot's name into it now like an honorary name yeah phil we have one question left where do we stand we stand with randall and Giannis having seven points. And in first place is Brody Henderson with a comeback. He's got eight points.

I'm not doing bad. Six. Steve has six. Question 10. The topic is conservation. What conservation organization's mission statement is, quote, to promote the conservation and management of wildlife especially big game and its habitat again what conservation organization's mission

statement is quote to promote the conservation and management of wildlife especially big game and its habitat we would need brody to get this wrong and Yanni and or Randall to get it right to go to a tiebreaker. What conservation organization's mission statement I'm definitely tightening her up though, you know. I don't have a path to victory, but I'm tightening her up. To promote the conservation and management of wildlife, especially big game, and its habitat.

Steve, you had a quick answer. Do you think you have it right? I do. Was it so quick because you're out of the running and the pressure is low? Would you be thinking about it harder if you were still in the game? I'd be thinking about it harder, but I don't know what I could really do differently. Are you going to get this one right, Brody? I'm confident, not positive.

Good guess. Randall? I'm confident. Giannis? Good guess. Randall? I feel pretty good. Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Boone and Crockett. Seth saying National Wildlife Foundation. Hayden saying BHA.

What? Brody saying Boone and Crockett. Giannis saying Dallas Safari Club Mackenzie saying Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation You don't even say something about elk I just couldn't think of something else that was big game Randall saying Boone and Crockett Club

Sorry I had fishing in mind The correct answer Is Boone and Crockett Club making Brody A runaway winner I really tightened her up I'm correcting you This story is more about It's really more about my Making Brody a runaway winner. Oh, yeah, but I really tightened her up in the end. Nine correct answers. I mean, the story's more about my... Near comeback?

My comeback. By your third place tie that you made there. Or would you like to give the money, Steve? Brody, nine answers. Well done. Kind of whooped the room. Yeah, what'd you get wrong, Brody? I scratched out North Carolina and wrote Kentucky.

Almost had the perfect game. Lexington through York. Married into a North Carolina family. But it's so weird, as much as he wins, that I still win more than him. Well, not anymore. Relative. Oh, you might be right. I think I might bring it up.

One victory makes a big difference when you're talking like a sample size of 40 or 50 brody where is the 500 donation from me did you're going um there's a group down in wyoming called the winter range foundation that uh does a lot of work on antelope and mule deer habitat and they're dealing with a big winter die-off right now so send it to them yeah it seems like we still don't know maybe the consequences of that i think they haven't even released a lot of tags antelope tag numbers what they'll be yet but it's gonna be down yeah yeah well done brody now great game bro you want it fair and square man thanks appreciate it hot on your heels, buddy. You going to stick around for the next one?

No. Now, here's the big announcement that I teased earlier. Phil, can you give us a drum roll, please? Do you have one over there? Ready? Meat Eater Trivia, the board game is done. It's finished. Yay!

We wrapped it up. Thank you. It's a real thing. It didn't seem real about a year ago, but everything is finished. We've turned it in to the board game factory publisher equivalent, and they are pumping How have I still not seen the artwork? It was sent to you. I've seen the email where it was sent to you.

No, it never was. Okay. We will find it after this. We have multiple bets now happening with Steve about things in the meat eater store. Does the artwork look good? It looks great. I knew it would. Very happy.

Now, I am stoked to report that after months of hard work, we have wrapped up Meat Eater Trivia, the board game. So much went into this, from the design of the game to the questions to the artwork. We wanted to make it feel very meat-eater and give listeners a chance to bring the game show from our studio to their living room, and I think we accomplished just that. And we kicked around for a long time whether it should have a board, but we thought people were going to use it more

like out messing around, bringing it in your car, bringing it camping, hunting camp, and you weren't going to want to set up some board. And then you do that, like you're playing Monopoly with your kids, and then you go to eat and you realize, where are you supposed to eat? So you have the Monopoly board out there. You don't have to worry about that. Very compact.

We even have a tin carrying case that comes with it that can carry a small amount of cards if you wanted to take it with you into the backcountry, on the boat, wherever. This is meant to go with you into the field to be played. Now, the board game will be available this fall, so put it at the top of your Christmas list and keep it there until the holidays. I can't give a ton of specifics right now, but promise to have more details soon about Meat Eater Trivia,

the only board game where conservation always wins. Didn't we kind of start this show just to make a board game? No. But the idea was hot on the tail. It came up quickly. That's right. So I came in here the first day to play meat eater trivia on the podcast. And Steve says, now what are we doing?

What's this thing Corinne was talking about? And I was like, I want to play trivia with you guys. We've got some questions written from our four verticals. And you're like, what's a good question? Give me an example. So I gave you a question that wasn't from the game. And then your first thing you said was, we should turn this into a board game.

So that's what we did. Coming out this fall. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only board game and game show where conservation always ends. It's not prohibitively expensive. We'll get into the details of that later yes Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
