Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Stephen Rinella, Chester Floyd, Corinne Schneider, Hayden Samick, Seth Morris, Randall Williams, and Ben Dedimonte. Ben, this is your second time on the show. How do you feel about your chances this time around?

Oh, they're way better. Based on what? What do you think? Well, maybe I'll get some of the same questions as last time, you know? Oh, okay. Then I'll remember which ones I missed. That's never happened before. I do like you, Ben, but not that much. Alright. Now this is a 10-round quiz show

with questions from MeatEater's four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. MeatEater 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 Ben's performance from the last time he was on the show.

Ben competed in the First Light Ambassador episode and got five correct answers, which was good enough for third place behind Clay Newcomb. He told me second. And Tony Peterson. No, he said third. Oh, did he? Second or third, that's what I said. Now, Ben crushed it in three of four categories.

He got 67% of questions right in hunting and conservation, and 50% of questions right in fishing, but scored a zero in the category of cooking. Ben, do you anticipate that being a hole in your game again today, or was that performance in episode 358 just a fluke? I think I was a little hungry, and that might have thrown me off in the cooking area. Okay. Do you fish?

A little bit. Not as much as I should have. Just enough to get 50% of your fishing questions right. You know, we were talking, how are you, why no? When you throw him a bone, is it like a shed hunting bone? We'll see. We'll see. I think the room may know when it gets there.

Okay. That was a good one, Steve. Yeah. Did you come up with that? No, I didn't do the joke I stole. I didn't even get where you were going there. No, no, no, no, no. No, I meant.

He's just teeing us up for later. Well, Seth had a good joke, like throwing him a bone. Okay. Bone. Collecting bone. Now we have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, we had a tiebreaker between Giannis and Tony Peterson with a twist. They agreed that if someone who wasn't in overtime got the answer right on the nose,

then they would be declared the winner. And that's exactly what happened when Tyler Jones snatched the victory from Giannis by answering that there are Eastern turkeys in 38 states. Well, within 15 minutes of that show ending, word had traveled to Steve about what went down, and then I got a phone call. Steve, tell folks what you told me about that tiebreaker. Something to the effect of that ain't going to be how it goes down. Do you want to share more of how the phone call went? I wrote down some notes here. I have an accurate representation. I remember being flabbergasted to hear that.

And there's just no way I'm going to participate in something like that. And how did word get to you so fast? You weren't even in the office when that went down. I don't remember. Brody. Makes sense. What was Brody's take on the situation? Did he get you riled up?

Oh, yeah. He did. Well, I know Brody didn't like it. And Brody wasn't playing either. Well, I know Brody didn't like it. And Brody wasn't playing either. Well, I know, but think about how stupid it is. You could have someone with a zero. Uh-huh. You have someone with a zero throw out some random-ass number.

That's right. You know? Still win. Now, I wrote down. It's ridiculous. I wrote down. It'd be like at the Super Bowl, they go get the worst possible team. They'd be like, oh, you can play two.

I know you can't play three. That's a horrible analogy. If you catch a pass that goes into the stands, you win. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you, yeah, at the World Series, like, but you can have all your players in the outfield. And if one of your players catches a homer, you win the World Series. That's right. It would be just like that. You're right.

Now, I wrote down some of my favorite Steve-erisms from that conversation. You called me a communist. You said that I must be hanging out with elementary kids too much. And then you declared that if I ever do that again, I'll need to ask Clay if trivia can air

on the Bear Grease feed because its days on the Meat Eater Network would be over. That sounds about right. So here's the deal. A communist. We're not going to do that again, Steve. We're not going to have the tiebreaker that way. If somebody does hit it on the nose, we add an extra $100 donation, or they get to choose where the $500 donation goes, or just scrap the idea altogether. You hate it that much. Yeah, I guess it's like $100 or something.

That's what we'll do then. If somebody in the tiebreaker who wasn't in the tiebreaker hits it right on the nose, we then have a $600 donation. Yeah, because it's not like a full perfect score. That's right. Which is $1,000. Yeah. It's not like a full perfect score. That's right. Which is $1,000. That's good. Now the Shelby Index for this round of trivia is a 2, but I think our winner will be in the

6-7 range. 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. The topic is fishing. And as always, this will be multiple choice. Rotten Tomatoes declared a sequel to this movie as the 10th worst movie of all time. Is it A River Runs Through It, Free Willy, Grumpy Old Men, or Jaws? Hold on, say it again. The topic is fishing. Rotten Tomatoes declared a sequel to this movie as the 10th worst movie of all time. A River Runs Through It, Free Willy, Grumpy Old Men, or Jaws. A sequel to one of those movies is the 10th worst movie of all time via Rotten Tomatoes.

Steve with a confident answer. No, no, no. Okay, a quick answer. I got a narrowed, well. Okay, again, the choice is A River Runs Through It, Free Willy, Grumpy Old Men, Jaws. Steve, how many of those movies have you seen? Do you mean the sequels? The regular movie, A River Runs Through It, Free Willy.

No. Grumpy Old Men. Yes. Jaws. Yes. Okay. A little bit educated in this field. Chester, Lotta, Hammond, and Hahn.

Does everybody else have an answer? Free Willy, he kills a killer whale, don't he? I don't remember how that goes. No. Is everybody ready? They do the opposite. Go ahead. Maybe in the sequel.

Your answer. Steve says Jaws. Ben says Grumpy Old Men. Corinne says Free Willy. Hayden says Jaws. Randall says Free. Corinne says Free Willy. Hayden says Jaws. Randall says Free Willy. Seth says Free Willy. Chester says A River Runs Through It.

The correct answer is Jaws. Oh, off to a good start. Steve off to a good start. He declares Jaws The Revenge was released in 1987 as the third sequel to the 1975 classic. It has a 0% critic score and 15% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. One review said, quote, it's illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects. Jaws the Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise. Other movies on the top 10 list include Super Babies 2, Nicolas Cage's movie

Left Behind, and 2002's version of Pinocchio. I just want to say how much I love grumpy old men movies. Both of them. Yeah, no way they'd be on the top 10, right, Chester? That was the only one I could think of that actually I knew about a sequel. So I was just deducing.

Three of them have sequels. Well, Spielberg must not have made The Jaws. No, he didn't. I don't know how that went. Stanley Kubrick. The critics did not like it. A River Runs Through did not have a sequel, but it was long rumored that there would be one,

and it was called A River Runs To It. If they were going to do a sequel, that's what it was going to be. I'm real happy they didn't make that sequel. That's what they said. You can't. According to the internet, that is. Never happened.

They should call it A River Runs Into A Reservoir. It's got big old walls. Question two. The topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Luke Wojnicki. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. The Kasachi National Forest, which is the only national forest in this southern state,

was commemorated in 2015 with a quarter that featured a wild turkey. The Kasachi National Forest, which is the only national forest in this southern state, was commemorated in 2015 with a quarter that featured a wild turkey. Again, not enough southern representation in this room. Chester, I think, is the only one to come up with an answer so far, and Steve, but they don't look confident. That's a doozy the kasachi national forest which is the only national forest in this southern state was commemorated in 2015 with a quarter that featured a wild turkey quiet room thinking real hard chester how do you feel about your chances on this one?

As one of the only people to come up with an answer so far. Not very good. Steve, same boat? Not great. Okay. Not good. Leaves the door open for the rest of the room, though. Kasachi National Forest, only national forest

in this southern state. All right, let's go. Let's go. Most of the room has not come up with an answer yet. Steve is getting impatient. How are we doing over there, Randall, Hayden, Corinne? You got your answers? I got a wild guess.

Seth? Ben just did some shed hunting in southern states, so maybe he knows. Hayden, are you ready? Yes. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying South Carolina, Ben saying Florida,

Corinne saying Kansas, Hayden saying North Carolina, Randall saying Louisiana, Seth saying Mississippi, Chester saying South Carolina. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Louisiana. Randall?

Randall got it right. What'd you put for the first one? Free Willy. It's Louisiana. Randall? Randall got it right. What'd you put for the first one? Free Willy. Not John. I thought it was a trick question because the main character is a mammal. Because he doesn't do trick questions. There's never trick questions.

Fishing was the category in his movie about a whale, so I just thought maybe there was a... I don't know. The Kasachi National Forest is incredibly biodiverse with over 250 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Their quarter, which was released in 2015, shows a tom turkey in flight. It is one of only five national forests that the United States Mint has featured in their Beautiful Quarters program.

Question three, the topic is hunting. The world record non-typical elk, which was killed in Utah in 2008, was known by this nickname. Would this be the bone? I'm not... I'll repeat the question again, Seth. The world record non-typical elk,

which was killed in Utah in 2008, was known by this nickname. Steve with a very quick answer. This is the bone, huh? Are you going to get this one right, Ben? I think so. Okay. This is the bone. Well, I mean, it's like, come on. That's where he's from.

Uh-huh. It's big news. He likes elk. He likes the antlers. He likes antlers. He likes antlers. This is the bone. I'll tell you this is the bone. This is the shed. Don't let me down here, Ben. Steve, you know this one, though.

Rest of the room looks okay. I think we'll have more right answers. Does everybody have the answer? Do you know what, Randall? I think so. For the Bulls nickname. Corinne, are you going to get this one? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying spider bull.

Ben saying spider bull. Corinne saying double wide. Hayden and Randall saying spider bull. Seth saying the king. Chester saying spider bull. They got it. The correct answer is spider bull. And we have a correct answer the

spider bull scored over 478 inches which was 13 inches bigger than the previous record he was killed on public land in utah by a hunter who held the governor's tag and was guided by mossback outfitters the elk was famous before it was even killed as videos went viral that summer of the bull in velvet the nickname was inspired by the antlers being splayed out like a spider's legs ben how big of a deal was that in your world it was a very big deal controversial yeah it was the governor's tag or what because the governor's tag they could hunt it before the season right there was that and then also right yeah nobody ever has any sheds off of that bull and it was unknown until that year so there's a lot what does that make it controversial though

if it was a farm bull that was a lot of people said it was a farm bull that turned out yeah so there was but there was one set that showed up that possibly could have been him so kind of quelled the controversy the controversy a little bit but people still i mean if you go talk to your average joe in utah half the will say it was a farm bull probably. Really? But yeah. Did you personally know about that elk before it was killed? Nope.

No, I'd heard rumors about it. Some buddies of mine filmed it in velvet and then I'd heard about it, but I don't think anybody knew it was quite that big before they killed it. Yeah. And I think the hunter was from Idaho maybe. Danny Austad. As it goes with most of those Idaho tangs, right? He had a fleet of guides that were looking for that bull.

And I think, uh, yeah, he kind of rolled in and finished it. Yeah. That was like a super shot. I don't know, but people are gonna, when something like that happens, people are going to really like any chink in the armor. For sure.

Oh yeah. They will swarm towards that. They're going to really like anything that would be that it wasn't what it seems to be. Sure. That was the spider bowl. Question four, the topic is conservation.

This next great question comes to us via Houston Wilson. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Name one of the five states with the most deer farms in America. Name one of the five states with the most deer farms in America. Quick answers from most of the room. Everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Pennsylvania,

Ben saying Texas, Corinne, Hayden, Randall all saying Texas, Seth saying Pennsylvania, Chester saying Texas. The five states are Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota. Everybody got it right. I was surprised that Seth and Steve went a little against the grain there with Pennsylvania. That was kind of cocky, but it worked out. Well, it's kind of the birthplace of deer farming. Yeah. I mean, Penn State has a deer farm. It's the birthplace of deer farming.

Where they do research. According to Penn State University, those five states have over 60% of America's deer farms. Deer farming is legal in about 40 states. The National Deer Association opposes captive deer propagation, saying the practice can introduce novel diseases and promote the privatization of wildlife. Question five. The topic is cooking. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

Merriam-Webster defines this Russian dish as, quote, meat that's sliced thin and cooked in a sauce of sour cream, mustard, onion, and condiments. Again, the topic is cooking. Merriam-Webster defines this Russian dish as, quote, meat that's sliced thin and cooked in a sauce of sour cream, mustard, onion, and condiments. Quick answer from Steve and Hayden. Is it mustard or condiment? I'm just telling you what Merriam-Webster says, but you're probably right about that.

Hayden, you're going to get this one right. Yeah. Randall? I don't think so. Okay. Again, this is question five. Merriam-Webster defines this Russian dish as, quote, meat that's sliced thin and cooked in a sauce of sour cream, mustard, onion, and condiments.

Ben, we just discussed how cooking was a hole in your game last time. Are you going to get this one right? No. Okay. Nope. I might not get this one right, actually. You just had to pick up your phone to check. No, I got a text from somebody.

I did not. I did not. I did not. You should have seen how much he was on his phone last week. He always has that phone out. iPad kid over there. No. No. No.

I was dealing with a certain podcasting issue that we had to rectify immediately. Does everybody have an answer for the Russian dish that's meat sliced thin and cooked in a sauce of sour cream,

mustard, onion, and condiments? Doesn't sound that great. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. I think I put down the tomato soup.

Oh, son of a bitch. You guys all got it. Steve says borscht. Ben says Reuben. Corinne says stroganoff. Oh, my gosh. Hayden says stroganoff. Hayden with, or Randall without an answer.

Seth saying stroganoff. Chester without an answer. Wow. The correct answer is stroganoff. Well. A mustard, folks. Just throwing in the whole noodle thing. Stroganoff Chester without an answer the correct answer is stroganoff well a monster in the whole noodle thing man that's why I said I didn't think I almost didn't put stroganoff down because that is the noodle thing I like stroganoff this meal is named after count stroganoff a Russian aristocrat

who had the meal created by his French chef. The original recipe used a French mustard and Russian sour cream to season the meat. If you want a more modern version, then check out Lucas Leaf's recipe on TheMeatEater.com called Braised Bison Stroganoff. Steve, are you kicking yourself for not getting that one right? Yeah. I mean, come on. How many times a year do you make Stroganoff, you think? None. Never? None.

Never? No. Okay. You don't like it, kids don't like it. It's just not on my repertoire, man. I'm sure you make some things that are close, though, like in that... Yeah, but...

I don't make a whole bunch of white sauce stuff, man. But no, it's ridiculous that I didn't get that right. I'm disappointed I missed it, but I'm equally as delighted about the count stroganoff. Count stroganoff. What a guy. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Sure thing.

It's a pretty good game. Everyone's doing all right. We got Seth, Corinne, Chester, and Ben, all with two points apiece. Steve and Randall have three, and in first place is Hayden Samick with four points. That's not going to hold. What did I do to you, man? Nothing. I'm just saying that's not going to hold.

Phil, we need a little more energy. Is it because Hayden's in first place? Is that why you delivered that so somber? Oh, no. I don't know. Sometimes when I'm editing the podcast, I'm like, I got to tone it down. Oh, you brought too much energy other times? I'll bring it back up.

Thank you. He's right-sizing the energy. No one roots for Hayden. 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.

Come on. The use of this insecticide that starts with a P makes it 74 times less likely that you'll be bit by a tick. Steve thinks it's too easy, but it looks like a few folks... The nature of this question makes it 99% more likely that you'll get it right. A few folks look like they're going to struggle. I like these lobs. Are you going to get this one, Ben? Yes.

Oh, okay. Corinne may not. The rest of the room looks pretty confident. Randall, are you going to get this one? I think so. The use of this insecticide that starts with a P makes it 74 times less likely that you'll be bit by a tick. Corinne, no pressure, but I think we're waiting on you. You give up?

Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Permathrin. Ben saying Permathrin. Corinne without an answer. Hayden and Randall, everyone else saying Perm-meth-rin, they got it. The correct answer is per-meth-rin. I should have made you guys spell it.

There were some creative spellings there. Per-meth-rin? Something like that. That's how I'm going to say it. Per-meth-rin. You gave us the P. Per-meth-rin? Per-meth-rin.

Per-meth-rin. Okay. I'm saying it wrong then. Per-meth-rin. Per-meth-rin can be used to- You put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. It can be used to treat clothes and hair. Most applications are odorless and last for six weeks,

making a great choice for foragers and hunters. According to a 2001 study, the best place to apply it is from your feet to your shins. This was tested against other areas like your waist, chest, and head. I'm going to put it on the top of my head. Question seven. The topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Will Farr for sending this great question. Will is going to get a book signed by Steve. There are only 600 of these left in the wild, which are considered to be the tallest bird in North America at five feet tall. There are only 600 of these left in the wild, which are considered to be the tallest bird in North America at five feet tall.

The room looks stumped. Maybe Randall has it. Steve looks like he's thinking on it. Only 600 of them left in the wild, and they're considered the tallest bird in North America. Ben, are you going to get this one right? No. Ben, what's the next stop on your shed hunting tour? I'm knocking out Montana on this rip,

and then probably just start. I may go to Maine. I might fly out and look for some moose paddles after that. Really? In Maine? Yep. Have you been there before? Nope. Stoked. Is it guaranteed you come home with one or not?

No, but I think there's pretty good odds with the numbers out there. Again, only 600 of these left in the wild, which are considered the tallest bird in North America at five feet tall. Does everybody who's going to come up with an answer have an answer? I just need another sec.

Okay. Another second. Randall, are you going to get this one? I think I have a decent guess. Hayden? No, I'm listening to the most basic thing I could think of, but I know it's wrong because I can think of a bunch of other things that are probably taller.

Seth, how about you? Not a chance. I don't think. Steve, how are we doing over here? Yeah, it's not good, dude. Is everybody ready? I'm going to be level with you. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying mute swan. Ben saying great blue heron. Corinne saying a kind of stork. Hayden saying condor. Randall saying who swan. Ben saying great blue heron. Corinne saying a kind of stork. Hayden saying condor. Randall saying whooping crane. Seth saying California condor. Chester saying flamingo. The correct answer

is whooping crane. Randall got it right. I accidentally wrote mute swan. Whooping cranes also have a wingspan of seven and a half feet. Their populations plummeted due to habitat loss and unregulated hunting. And by 1940, there were only 21 left on earth. Biologists believe that every whooping crane around today descended from a

small flock that breeds in Texas. You know how I was saying, hold on a minute. I was trying to think of that. You were trying to come up with a whooping crane. Have you ever seen one? Yes. Where? Yes. In the Texas Gulf Coast. Yeah, didn't we see him? Yes. Yeah. Son of a

gun. That's wild. If you think about it. Definitely seen one. Like, that should count. Uh-huh. You're probably one of the few people to have seen one in this room. One of the 600 left. Question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is mountain men. This mountain man whose parents were a slave owner and slave went by the nickname Bloody Arm.

Steve with a confident answer No one else Again This mountain man Whose parents were a slave owner And slave Went by the nickname Bloody Arm Steve you got this one right Do you like this mountain man? You just don't want to give any hints?

We can talk about it later Okay You got it Randall? Steve may be the only one who gets this I am uh We can talk about it later. Okay. You got it, Randall? Steve may be the only one who gets this. I am struggling. This mountain man, whose parents were a slave owner and slave, went by the nickname Bloody Arm.

I think Brody would get this if he were here. Oh, he would, yeah. The rest of the room is struggling, though. Seth, you had an answer. You think you have a chance at this one? I just threw one at the wall. Hayden has his eyes crossed over there. He's thinking so hard. Dude, I...

Are you going to come up with an answer, Hayden? No. No, I'm not. Is everybody ready? Randall? I'm defeated. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Jim Beckwith, Ben saying Liver Eaton Johnson, Corinne saying Coulter, Hayden saying Leroy Jenkins. Leroy Jenkins.

Randall without an answer. Seth saying Fitzgerald, Chester saying Hugh Glass. Steve got it. The correct answer is James Beckwith. Beckwith's dad was from a prominent white Virginia family and his mom was one of that family slaves Beckworth's parents moved to Missouri when he was a young child where he was raised as the free son of a successful farmer Beckworth gained the nickname bloody arm

through his notable skill as a fighter Steve what do you got on James Beckworth he married into the Absaroka, the Crow tribe and lived with them for quite some time. Was he the one who was rumored to have been killed by them? They think he was maybe poisoned? I don't know. I thought it was him.

I was never certain. That's such a shed thrown to Steve, too. Yeah. Every time there's a mountain man question I'm like oh this is Steve's bone for the week Brody would have got it if Brody was here though right They're in contention Phil we have two questions left

Give us a scoreboard update I think it got interesting It did get interesting If you can't stand the heat get out of the meat Eater podcast studio Brian you're eliminated Oh he perked right back up. Get the hell out of here. A little bit of criticism and he perked up.

Still in the game are Seth, Chester, and Ben with three points apiece. And tied for first place are Hayden, Randall, and Steven Rinella. With how many? Five points. Five points. Two questions left. Question nine. The topic is fishing.

This river, which is named after a major American city, was declared the world's best walleye fishery by InFishermen in 2015. This river, which is named after a major American city, was declared the world's best walleye fishery by InFishermen in 2015 you got you got it no man you're going to get this oh yeah I got it this river they hit me like a diamond bullet like at first explain first I didn't have it and then it like struck me in the forehead. And now you got it right. Like a diamond bullet. This river, which is named after a major American city, was declared the world's best walleye fishery by in fishermen in 2015.

I should clarify that. I stole the diamond bullet line. In Apocalypse Now, Marlon Brando's character, Kurtz, how to win the Vietnam War struck him like a diamond bullet. Still don't really understand the diamond part of it. It would just hit that hard? Is that what it's implying? Okay. How to win the war.

Seth, are you going to get this one? Don't know. Are you going to be sad when Chester gets this Walleye fishing question right And you don't? I might not have it right Maybe I have it right and he gets it wrong Oh, I like that too. Does everybody have an answer? Maybe. Maybe we both have the same answer

Go ahead and reveal your answer We have Steve saying Detroit Ben saying Detroit. Corinne without an answer Hayden saying St. Louis Randall saying Detroit Seth saying Detroit. Ben saying Detroit. Corinne without an answer. Hayden saying St. Louis. Randall saying Detroit. Seth saying Detroit. Chester saying Detroit. They got it. The correct answer is Detroit. Detroit. The Detroit River is famous for its walleye run that happens each spring when spawners leave Lake Erie. Cabela's holds an annual tournament there where it's not uncommon for five fish limits to exceed 50 pounds.

The tournament director called it a jigging paradise for walleye anglers. I love it. It's actually unique to a style of fishing called hand lining. Explain it. It's like, I've never done it before. I've never even seen anyone do it before. But it's basically, you have like this spring loaded reel and let me know chester if i'm messing this up and like basically when you let like you you can pull the line out and let

and let line in like real easily because it's spring loaded and you that goes out and there's leaders attached to it that you can hook uh like um you know whatever rappel is whatever you want to troll and this is just like oh it's so it's like a vertical jigging technique no it's a true no you actually put a big weight on the bottom so it goes down hits the bottom then you have you have leaders off of that drift or slow troll yeah and you can use you can since the lot the the spool is spring loaded youed, you can pull back and forth and get different speeds and speed up your bait, slow them down, that kind of stuff. Detroit River.

Phil, we have one question left. Detroit. Where do we stand? Seth, Chester, and Ben have also been eliminated and can no longer win. However, Hayden is still in the game with five points. Steve and Randall are tied up with six. Question 10. The topic is cooking.

This next great question comes to us via David Valdez. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Although many think the red liquid that's released from a steak is blood, it's actually this protein. Although many think that the red liquid that's released from a steak is blood, it's actually this protein. Steve, you look confident.

Are you going to get this one right? Mm-hmm. On the contrary, Randall, have you come up with an answer yet? I have an answer. Okay, do you think you're going to get this one right? State juice. I think I have a good shot.

We may be headed to a tiebreaker. Hayden, in case they're wrong, do you have the right answer? It's not looking good for me, man. Steve, the reflection on the glass there. Do you use that a lot? No, I've never noticed it, but you're holding your board above your head. Could you see his answer, Randall?

Yes. Do you have the same answer? I do. Okay. Is everybody ready? As long as I can read backwards. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying, what does that say? Albumin. Albumin. Ben saying, what does that say? Albumin. Albumin. Ben saying, what does that say? Myoglobin. Myoglobin. Corinne saying plasma. Oh, I'm thinking of the fat that comes out of fish. Randall saying myoglobin. I wrote that. Seth without an answer.

Chester saying au jus. It was small and I was reading it backwards in the reflection. You know what's the worst thing you want to hear? When you have an answer and Spencer looks at the answer and says, what's that? That's not good news. That was a spoiler because Randall got it right. The correct answer is myoglobin, and that makes Randall our winner.

Son of a bitch. Seven correct answers. Steve, the diamond bullet never came on myoglobin, huh? You know what the albumin is? You know if you smoke salmon too hot? And the fat? Oh yeah, that's albumin.

That's my myth. That could have been a great answer for another question. That half point. Once that white shit that comes out of salmon plays when you smoke it too hot, I would have been like albumin. The whooping crane half point and this- Like, what's that white shit that comes out of salmon fillets when you smoke it too hot? I would have been like, albumin. The whooping crane half point and this half point. Technically, you guys are tied then.

Like, count stroganoff. Sure. I knew I didn't have it right. Quarter point. I think Steve won, actually. Surprise. Now, myoglobin helps store oxygen in your muscles. It's actually one of the key differences that separates white meat from red meat.

Simply put, the more myoglobin cells there are, the redder the meat is. So animals like birds with a low level of myoglobin have white meat, and animals like mammals with a high level of myoglobin have red meat. Spencer, I've got a trivia question for you. Okay.

What's the protein in fish, white flaky fish, that people are allergic to? What's the protein called? Dude, I know. Parval-boomin. Parval-boomin. that people are allergic to. What's the protein called? Parvalbumin. And I'm allergic to it. Did you know Tony Peterson's allergic to fish too? No. Two of you fishy guys.

We learned this on the last trivia. You guys could go out and throw fish at each other. Talk about a problem. Randall, as the winner, you get to choose where the $500 donation goes. So what's it going to be? Let's give it to the TRCP. What do you like about them, Randall?

Well, we were in Washington, D.C. a couple weeks ago for the annual Conservation Awards dinner. Capital Conservation Awards. Capital Conservation Awards dinner dinner and it was just a wonderful reminder of all the good work that's being done um across party lines in dc to get things done for hunters and anglers so who were some award winners there um well each year they give an award to two lawmakers one from each side of the aisle so this year it went to uh joe mansion and then of west virgin and Blake Moore of Utah. Like an arm wrestling award or what's the award for?

It's for just being a powerful advocate for hunters and anglers and the resources that we use in D.C. And so those two gentlemen have gotten a lot done, putting together some big conservation bills and packages over the years. And, yeah, it was just a great evening. Got to run into a lot of old colleagues and then folks from all sorts of different conservation groups that are getting together. Yeah, they do one person from each side of the aisle, then they do one from each chamber. So one senator, one congressman. Good on you, Randall. And then they do someone from the private sector, but this year it's

two people from the private sector. Lifelong conservationists and wildlife professionals, Becky Humphreys, who retired from National Wild Turkey Federation, and Howard Vincent, who retired from Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever. Well done, Randall. Tough batch of questions. You win it with seven right. Ben, how many did you get right this round?

Five again. Five. You are consistent. Yep. We're just going to bring you on from now on. No wonder you're going to get five right. If five's ever the winning score, then I'm the guy. All right.
