Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Maggie Smith, Hayden Samick, Seth Morris, Randall Williams, and Rick Hutton.

And a very special welcome. Hey, quick question. What's up? When you, uh, how do you decide on the order? Third time this has been asked me not what i've been here it's often a combination looking at the invite about who's been invited first uh sometimes the alphabetical order sometimes the people end up playing aren't on the invite yet because we have others that drop out um i'll tell you this yanni usually the headliner gets the first name. So it's usually a Steve, a Yanni, a Cal, a Clay.

After that, it's random. Appreciate it. Does that satisfy what you're looking for? You think the Grand Champion would be up top? What headliner are you talking about? Brody was second. Brody is the second headline. Plus, Brody's here almost every episode.

Every time I'm in this room for trivia, Brody's here at this point. You put me on the invite. You can stop inviting me. How do you in this room for trivia, Brody's here at this point. You put me on the invite. You can stop inviting me. How do you think that would go over, Brody? Let's do that. Better for everyone else. I got other things I could be doing

than whipping everyone's ass. That's right. Now, each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week, we're updating our donation tracker. As of last episode, we surpassed over $30,000 in conservation organization

donations. These donations from Meat Eater Trivia have been spread out across 31 different groups. Brody, are people bugging you yet to get you to donate to their organization? Steve suggested that should be a thing that they should... I get some inquiries. Uh-huh.

And does that work? Not yet. Well, I mean, like, sure, it'll work. If it's something I think that's, you know, worth donating to. Okay, $30,000 so far. Butter up, Brody. Maybe your donation will get one of those $500 donations. Now, here's our zero percenter question of the week,

which tests how much knowledge players have retained from previous games. This question was from episode 365. The topic was cooking, and nobody got it right. If you order fried cooter from a restaurant, what kind of animal are you eating?

Fish. No. I wasn't here. I wasn't here either. For that question. I wasn't either. I wasn't here either. For that question. I wasn't either. Take a guess here. If you order fried cooter from a restaurant, what kind of animal are you eating? It is not fish. Gator.

No. Damn. Anybody else have a guess? Rabbit. No. Possum. No. Coon.

A coot. No. The incorrect answers given in that episode were gator, crab, pig, quail, raccoon, and rabbit. The correct answer was turtle or soft shell turtle. So if you go to a restaurant down south and you order yourself some fried cooter, you're going to get turtle. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, I asked players to name three of the nine states that the Trail of Tears passes through. But when I read the answer, I made a mistake and forgot to include Arkansas on that list.

Well, thankfully, 36 different listeners wrote in to let me know about that error. So to clarify, the nine states are Alabama, Georgia, Illinoisia illinois kentucky missouri north carolina oklahoma tennessee and arkansas was clay newcomb one of those people no he wasn't but a lot of folks wrote in saying clay would be very disappointed that i missed arkansas would that have changed the results of that game now a few players had arkansas as one of their three states but only seth listed it with two other correct answers. So Seth deserves to get that question right, but it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game.

Wow. Well done, Seth. Who won that game? I don't remember. I had some. Oh, sorry. What do you got? Well, I had somebody reach out to me on Instagram in a comment asking, totally unrelated to

the video, if I could please get in touch with you to forward that because he had not gotten back to him. So I'm sure they're satisfied now. Yeah, plenty of folks made sure that I knew I forgot Arkansas. Also on a previous show, we speculated about if state game agencies get paid to make shows like Northwood's Law and Lone Star Law. Well, according to a 2017 article about this series, New Hampshire did not get paid, but the production company did make a $2,000 donation per episode to the New Hampshire Wildlife

Heritage Foundation. So to answer the question, no, those game agencies do not get compensated, but the production company was making a nice conservation donation. That's nice. Now, the Shelby Index for today's round is four and a half, so our winner should get nine 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? i stand to win everything how's that you stand to win everything game on suckers question one the topic is hunting which of these two legendary hunters were alive at the same time? Is it Eldo Leopold and Jim Shockey? Danielle Boone and Buffalo Bill Cody? Ernest Hemingway and Davy Crockett? Or Teddy Roosevelt and Fred Bear? These are pairs, just so everybody understands.

These are pairs of hunters together. You need to tell me which pair was alive at the same time. Aldo Leopold and Jim Shockey, Daniel Boone and Buffalo Bill Cody, Ernest Hemingway and Davy Crockett, or Teddy Roosevelt and Fred Bear. Two of those people were alive at the same time.

A stumped room. Looks like some folks are maybe doing some math. Yanni, how do you feel about your answers? Did this come straight from your brain? Straight from my brain. How do you feel about your answer? Like, often. I feel like I have a good guess. Does anybody feel confident?

Like, oh yeah, I know it. No. Does everybody have an answer? I want to change mine now. Everybody's in the game. You keep flashing me, and I'm trying to be honest here. Just don't change. Put it down.

You don't want to look at that board anyway. I'm definitely not going to cheat off. I'll fail. Does everybody have an answer? Makes me feel better. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Roosevelt and Fred Bear. Seth saying Roosevelt and Fred Bear.

Brody saying TR and FB. Rick saying Leopold and Shockey. Hayden crossed out B and wrote down D, which Teddy Roosevelt and Fred Bear. I thought you had it, Giannis. Leopold died in 1948, and Shockey was born in 1957, so they missed each other by 11 years. Boone died in 1820, and Buffalo Bill was born in 1846, so they missed each other by 26 years. Crockett died in 1836, and Hemingway was born in 1899,

so they missed each other by 63 years. Roosevelt died in 1919, and Fred Bear was born in 1902, so they shared the earth for 17 years. Great question. Thank you, Randall. That was a good question. When did Fred Bear die?

When did Fred Bear die? I don't have that right now. It's like in the 80s. He lived pretty long. He's born in 1902. So if he made it to 80, he'd have made it to 1982. Question two. The topic is public lands.

Name four of the five colors that the Forest Service uses on their fire danger scale signs. Name four of the five colors that the forest service uses on their fire danger scale signs. Seth is writing like he knows the answer. Do you know the answer, Seth? Maybe.

Okay. He worked on a fire crew. Oh. He's at an advantage here. Yeah, but I mean, Everyone in here passes those signs Oh yeah A very confident room Probably like once a week

Yeah but I'm driving So I'm looking at my phone Randall that was good I liked that That was funny Folks quick to answer again I need you to name four of the five colors That the Forest Service uses

On their fire danger scale signs. Seth, the man who has worked on a fire crew, we're waiting on him. Rick worked for the Forest Service. Dang, Rick, are you going to get this one right? I think so, but I might. Could you name all five if you had to?

No. I should know. Yeah, I'm drawing a blank. Seth, we're waiting on you. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall with an upside down answer. He says green, yellow, orange, red. Seth saying red, yellow, green, orange. Brody saying red, orange, green, yellow.

Rick saying red, orange, yellow, green. Hayden saying green, yellow. Rick saying red, orange, yellow, green. Hayden saying green, yellow. What's that say? Orange. Orange and red. Marge saying green, yellow, orange, red. Giannis saying yellow, green, red, blue. The five colors are green, blue, yellow, orange, and red.

I think everybody got it right. Great job. If you had to name all five, does the room think they could have got the fifth color? Was blue the fifth color? Yeah, I would have put blue for sure. Yeah, no, I put that out. Here is what those colors mean on the fire danger scale.

Green means low, blue means moderate, yellow means high, orange means very high, and red means extreme. SmokeyZone.com actually sells official Forest Service fire danger signs on their website. You can get a standard one-sided sign for $640 or a two-sided sign that includes a six-foot-tall smoky bear standing next to it for two thousand seven hundred dollars is that smoky zone.com smoky zone.com i wonder what they're basing those prices on what do you mean like why are they so damn expensive royalties for smoke those are some big signs that's why you all got it right you uh you see them so often they're so dang big

question three the topic is conservation this next great question comes to us via dusted long you all got it right. You see them so often. They're so dang big. Question three. The topic is conservation. This next great question comes to us via Dusted Long. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. This national park, which is located in North Carolina, claims to be the most biodiverse national park in America. What was the category? I wasn't listening. Conservation. This national park, which is located in North Carolina, claims to be the most biodiverse national park in America. Pretty confident room. No.

Mine is Seth. Hayden, you look like you have this one right um if you want I can revisit this afterwards I have some thoughts on it but maybe I'm handle do you have this one right I think so Yanni hasn't I can't think of a single national park in North Carolina this This national park, which is located in North Carolina, claims to be the most biodiverse national park in America. You know, Rick? I feel like it's something you know. No, I don't feel that confident.

I might get it. I just hope the thing I wrote down was it. Are we going to dig into the claims part of this? Is that like? According to who? According to the National Park Service, this national park's website says that. Brody, I think, has a good point there with the claims because I think it's. Oh, I shouldn't say.

Yeah, don't give anything. It would be an answer. It would be a hint. But Mike. On this park's website, it says we are the most biodiverse national park in America. Does everybody have an answer, Yanni? It's a question on your phone, Hayden. If it's written down, I wouldn't call it an answer.

It's a question on your phone. Let's go. You ready, Yanni? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Great Smoky Mountains. Seth saying Great Smoky Mountains. Seth saying Great Smoky Mountains. Brody saying Smoky Mountains. Rick saying Great Smoky Mountains.

Hayden saying Dunes. Marge saying Smoky Mountains. Giannis saying Blue Mountains. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Are we going to give it to Brody? You do what's in your heart. He's missing the word great.

Marge had the same thing. Oh, I didn't have great on mine too, but I had Smoky Mountain. Okay, we'll give it to you. You get it. If you put Smoky Mountain, we will give it to you. We will say the great does not matter. Yeah, give it to Brody because I had great smoky and no mountain. I had NP for National Park.

Okay, that's very honest of you. I had great Smoky Mountain National Park. No one cares, Randall. I had NP for National Park. Okay, that's very honest of you. I had Great Smoky Mountain National Park. No one cares, Randall. No one cares, Randall. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is in both Tennessee and North Carolina. They claim to be home to over 19,000

species of animals, plants, and fungi. Scientists speculate there are an additional 80,000 species that live there, but haven't yet been documented. Yanni, with the person who has family in North Carolina, how do you feel about not coming up

with the correct answer? Well, see, we always land in, you know, Wilmington or Raleigh and go pretty much due southeast, not in that direction. Okay. So I knew there was Smok smoky mountains i didn't know they were a national park question four the topic is fishing what's the name for the legendary cicada hatch that happens every 17 years which last took place in 2021

i'm assuming it's not the legendary cicada hatch. What's the name for the legendary cicada hatch that happens every 17 years, which last took place in 2021? The room is stumped. I'm not stumped. It's just like there's different... There's a right answer, Brody,

to this question, which is what's the name for the legendary cicada hatch that happens every 17 years which last took place in 2021 when they say it happens every 17 years like what states not giving you any hints the question is the question I remember the 04 hatch like it was yesterday. Okay. That's a hint for the room. Yeah, every 17 years. But you don't remember the 2021 cicada hatch. I have no idea.

I mean, I remember multiple cicada hatches in Pennsylvania, but they're not the legendary. They certainly weren't 17 years apart. Yeah, no. Looks like most folks aren't coming up with an answer. They're not the legendary They certainly weren't 17 years apart Yeah no Looks like most folks aren't coming up with an answer Do you think you will or should we just move on Uh no hold on Yeah new question

I will say I do love questions that Brody gets kind of pissed off at You can see it on his face I think Brody goes home and writes like a bunch of angry letters To different organizations after this Like there's one organization that gets a good letter And that's the one that Brody donated $500 to. You know, Hayden, when you don't get a lot of questions right, keep your mouth shut. Again, the topic is fishing.

What's the name for the legendary cicada hatch that happens every 17 years, which last took place in 2021? Is everybody ready? Yanni, do you give up yet? I am going to know it when I hear it. I can tell you that. Yanni? I bet everybody will, Randall. All right.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall without an answer. Seth saying the locust hatch. Brody saying the 17-year locust marmon circuit. No, no, those are two different answers. Okay. Rick saying big bug die-off. Hayden saying the 17-year cicada hatch.

Marge saying the plague, LOL. Giannis saying anniversary. This is going to be a 0% question nobody got it right the correct answer is brood x or the great eastern brood brood x does that ring a bell now that you've

heard it no not at all we didn't call it that shit in pennsylvania the whole the fishing thing threw me off man because like there's a there's a cicada hatch that happens particularly on the Green River in Utah, some other places. And that's what threw me off, man. They call them Mormon crickets on the Green River. The brood X hatch is most noticeable in the eastern united states the phenomenon was first documented by a philadelphia

minister in 1715 who noticed a biblical swarm of cicadas at church that spring if you want to be prepared for the next time it happens in 2028 then read kubi brown's article on the meat eater.com called 17 years waiting how to fish the broodada Hatch. It wouldn't be 2028. 2038. It would be 2038. Excuse me. 17 Years Waiting, How to Fish the Brutex Cicada Hatch. Question five, the topic is cooking.

This is our listener question of the week, which was won by John Schlesinger for sending this great question. John is going to get a book signed by Steve. The topic is cooking. This campfire staple, which is sold in foil-covered aluminum pans, was invented by an Indiana chemist in 1958. Again, the topic is cooking. This campfire staple, which is sold in foil-covered aluminum pans,

was invented by an Indiana chemist in 1958. Brody, Giannis, Randall are confident. Rick is coming up with an answer. Hayden hasn't picked up his board. Marge, are you going to get this one right? No, she says. How about you, Seth? Seth, you look look medium confidence not so wordy right now are we i don't know i'm thoughtful there's i'm getting thrown off by something there but i can't fire staple there's um they're too the the people that aren't writing answers are young i was just gonna

say it's not a staple anymore okay yeah there Yeah. There's a generational thing going on here. You're helping the room out. This campfire staple, which is sold in foil-covered aluminum pans, was invented by an Indiana chemist in 1958. When I was a kid, we would do an annual beach trip, and this was part of the tradition, was bringing a bunch of this. Oh, this was a beach staple. It was.

Okay. Brody, have you ever cooked this on a campfire? No. Brody, have you ever cooked this on a campfire? No. Yanni, have you ever cooked this on a campfire? Yes, with zero success. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Jiffy Pop.

Rick saying Popcorn. Hayden saying Jiffy Pop. Marge saying Popcorn. Giannis saying Jiffy Pop. They got it. The correct answer is Jiffy Pop. Well, you're not going to give it to the folks

that wrote Popcorn. No, if you just said Popcorn, I looked it up. Popcorn's been around for about 9,000 years. Little longer than Jiffy Pop. Popcorn would not satisfy what I'm looking for. Jiffy Pop. Well, I thought you were looking for the snack, not the brand name. I was going to ask, how picky are you going to be with the brand five what i'm looking for well i thought you're looking for the snack not not the the i was gonna

ask like how picky are you gonna be with like the brand name was not invented by an indiana chemist in 1958 okay yeah okay fair enough fair enough jiffy pop only makes a single product today which is their classic buttered popcorn although it's advertised as something you can make on a stovetop cooking them over a campfire is a popular alternative their slogan which has been used since the 1960s is jiffy pop as fun to make as it is to eat i hope they're paying you for this because they're gonna crush it this summer yeah what what well you just said it didn't work on the campfire everyone's just gonna burn it though anyway did it just burn up or what happened yeah yeah yeah it didn't work on the campfire. Everyone was just going to burn it, though, anyway. Did it just burn up, or what happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It doesn't heat evenly. We burned it, but I also feel like I was probably 12 or 13 years old, and maybe I could do it better now. Phil, did you have any success at the beach with Jiffy Pop? Oh, we always cheated and just used it on a stovetop. At the beach? Yeah, like a little portable. We still burned it on a stovet top one time when I was a kid.

Quick answers from this room. They look confident. We've had a zero percenter today. We've had a 100 percenter. We may have a second 100 percenter where everybody gets it right. Based on how confident folks were coming up with answers again you need to name two of the four states with the most pronghorn entries in the

boone and crockett record book randall doing some erasing are you just trying to know i'm trying to hide it from my rivals here okay is everybody ready yeah go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Wyoming and Nevada. You only got one down. Oh, I had to write down two? Yanni, I don't think we can give it to you. You've seen the boards. Randall saying Wyoming and Nevada. Seth saying Wyoming and Nevada.

Brody saying Wyoming and New Mexico. Rick saying New Mexico and Arizona. Hayden saying Wyoming, New Mexico. Marge saying Wyoming, Montana. Gianden saying Wyoming, New Mexico. Marge saying Wyoming, Montana. Giannis saying Wyoming. I don't feel like you repeated the question. That's how you get a half point, Marge. Seems like everyone else came up

with it. Marge, this is how my wife got a half point. She got one of the two states. I didn't want to tell you before this question. Then, you know, these folks would have known. The four states are Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. So our room did pretty well. Yanni, what have you...

I was going to go Arizona. Yanni, I did repeat it. We had the rest of the room knew. Again, the question is now on the screen behind you. Wyoming leads the country in Boone and Crockett pronghorn with 1,485. That's followed by New Mexico with 800 Arizona and Nevada with 400 and Montana, Colorado and Texas with 200. The States with the fewest entries are Oklahoma with six Kansas with 10 and

North Dakota with 25. In other words, the States that don't have any antelope. That's right. Question seven. The topic is gear. According to Napa Auto Parts, this is the most common size for a trailer hitch ball. Oh. According to Napa Auto Parts, this is the most common size for a trailer hitch ball.

The topic is gear. Brody, did you already come up with an answer? Have you just not picked up your board? I wrote the first thing that popped into my head. Brody knows it. And this is out of like what they sell. So any kind of trailer out there,

according to Napa auto parts, this is the most common size for a trailer hitch ball. On Napa's website, it says, this is the most common size of trailer hitch ball. Seth, you going to get this one right? Yeah. Yeah. Yanni, you got this one right?

I think so. Marge, are you ready? Hold on, I don't want to write down the two most common ones, do I? Let me turn around and see the question back there. According to Napa Auto Parts, this is the most common size for a trailer hitch ball. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying 2 1⁄2 inch. Seth saying 2 inch. Brody saying 2 inch. Rick have Randall saying two and a half inch. Terrible.

Seth saying two inch. Brody saying two inch. Rick and Hayden saying two inch. Marge saying whatever pulls my drift boat. Giannis saying two inch. The correct answer is two inch. The room did very well. Marge, I would guess that you have a two inch that pulls your drift boat. U-Haul and others consider a two inch ball hitch to be the standard size. After two inch,

the most common sizes are one and seven eighths and two and five sixteenths. Two inch trailer balls have a wide weight capacity ranging from 3,500 pounds to 12,000 pounds for gross trailer weight. Okay. Little PSA. Is that what they call them? What do you got? thousand five hundred pounds to twelve thousand pounds for gross trailer weight okay little p psa is that what they call them what do you got i recently on uh the gear talk podcast uh we interviewed a fellow clay craw from x overland and uh we learned that you never ever try to pull anybody out of a sticky situation by putting a strap or a chain around their ball because that can shear off.

And people have been killed recently by those balls coming through the windshield and then hitting them. So you got to pull someone out or you're getting pulled out. Do not let them attach to the ball. Instead, take the ball out and attach to the hitch itself or the pin that goes through there. Attach to that. Yanni, that was absolutely a PSA.

I've definitely used the ball before. Me too. I was waiting for somebody to argue, how is this related to me, Dieter? Why is it gear? Well, Yanni just said you're pulling people out of stuck places. You're pulling campers, boats, snowmobile trailers, ice shacks, all kinds of things.

No, I think that's one of your best ever questions yeah that was good that relates to a lot of things hyping me up well done question eight the topic is fishing this next great question comes to us via scott morin if you have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com name two of the three countries that have produced Bassmaster Classic champions. Name two of the three countries that have

produced Bassmaster Classic champions. Yanni, we need you to name two of them. Thank you. Randall, are you going to get this one right? I've lost all confidence. What happened on that last question, you think, Randall?

I just knew that it was two inches. And I just thought, how can I screw this up? And then you wrote a half after. Yeah, yeah. It's really disappointing. Again, I need you to name two of the three I screw this up? And then you wrote a half after. Yeah. Yeah.

It's really disappointing. Again, I need you to name two of the three countries that have produced Bassmaster Classic champions. Does everybody have an answer? Brody? Yeah. Marge? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying U.S. and Japan.

Seth saying U.S.A. Canada.. Seth saying U.S.A., Canada. Brody saying U.S.A., Canada. Rick saying U.S.A., Japan. Hayden saying America, Japan. Marge saying Canada, U.S.A. Giannis saying U.S.A., Australia. America's not a country. The three countries are the United States, Japan, and Canada.

Everybody but Yanni got it right. The first international champion was Takahiro Omori from Japan, who won the 2004 Classic on Lake Wylie in North Carolina. The next international champion was Jeff Gustafson from Canada, who won the 2023 Classic on the Tennessee River in Tennessee. The other 50 champions were from the United States. Seth, did you watch Jeff Gustafson

win this year as the second international angler to ever win the whole thing? I did, yep. Did you remember that? Oh, yeah, I know Jeff was from Canada. Oh, yeah. Well done, Seth.

And you still went off the board. Did you say Canada or Japan? Canada. Okay know Jeff was from Canada. Oh, yeah. Well done, Seth. And you still went off the board. Did you say Canada or Japan? Canada. Okay. Well done, Seth. No, I put Canada because, yeah, Gussie was fresh on the mind. Gussie, you even know his nickname. Yeah, man.

Big fan. Good on you, Seth. I think our homie Carl is going to win in the future, so Australia will soon be added to the list. Carl. I think Carl will win. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Maggie and Giannis are no longer in the running Carl will win. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.

Maggie and Giannis are no longer in the running for the win. Son of a... Rick Hutton has five points. Seth and Randall and Hayden all have six points apiece. And in first place, it is Brody Henderson with seven points. Randall. Question nine. The topic is cooking the food network described this dish as quote

basically a deep fried burrito the food network described this dish as quote basically a deep fried burrito yanni with the quickest answer is the, Yanni, now that you're out of the game? Is that why you're so quick to answer this question? Nope. It's because I used to work at Fiestas in Edwards, Colorado. A hint. Sling. Quite a few of these. That's a hint

from Yannis. I used to order beers and tacos from Yannis now and then. Oh, buddy, you did we ask in good time. Did you two know each other then? Did we? Yeah. I guess so, if you went in there. Towards the tail end of your Fiesta's career. Yeah, my restaurant days.

Because you did a little work there while you were guiding, didn't you? Mm-hmm. Yeah. The Food Network described this dish as, quote, basically a deep fried burrito. Seth, without an answer. I don't have a clue Brody do you have this one right

I'm 50-50 Are you going to get this one right I don't feel great about it But I think I'm in the right I'd go down to Fiesta's right now And get one smothered in there Does everybody have an answer

Let's not talk about Chicken sauce Now I want to change it Now Seth do you know it now all of a sudden? No I'm just going to put something down Write down any Mexican dish I think that hint that Giannis gave was enough To get me to change my answer but in the spirit of things

I'm not going to change my answer I'm just crossing out What I think because of Giannis. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying enchilada. Seth saying enchilada. Brody saying chimichanga. Rick, without an answer.

Haven saying empanada. He crossed out enchilada. Marge saying chimichanga. Giannis saying chimichanga. Yni was right. The correct answer is chimichanga. I think Marge and Brody also got it. Gianni, tell us about the famous enchiladas at, or excuse

me, the famous chimichangas at Fiesta's. It wasn't the chimichanga so much. It was this, what was that sauce called? Yeah, that white stuff on the enchiladas. Yeah. It was like uh what was that sauce called yeah that white stuff on the enchiladas yeah it was like a very americanized sauce to put onto mexican food but it was basically creamy chickeny a little bit of jalapeno cheesy and uh you could basically as a waiter you could upsell and add

like a dollar to every plate by saying hey instead of having the normal green chili or enchilada sauce why don't we just smother it all in the... What was that stuff called? White corn something. Anyway, it was good. What else was a Mexican restaurant using deep fryers for? I suppose like taco shells, the chimichangas. Yeah, if they make their own

churros. Nachos. Chips. Chips. And then we also had the, what do they call it, fried ice cream, which is not really fried, but, you know. Although most Americans associate this food with Mexico, it was actually invented in Arizona. The first chimichanga was accidentally created in 1922

when a Tucson cook dropped a burrito in a deep fryer. If you want to learn how to make your own, then go to TheMeatEater.com and read Justin Townsend's recipe called Venison Steak Chimichanga. Dude, I'm making that not tonight, tomorrow night. Phil, we have one question left. I think it's over, but give us an update. It is indeed over. Brody Henderson has eight points and cannot be caught by Hayden, who has six points behind him. Oh, Randall, you're not even where Hayden's at?

I'm not quite sure. Sorry, I didn't sort my players correctly. Apologies. Randall, Hayden, and Seth all have six points. It's fine. I feel like I deserve it. A runaway victory for Brody. We'll see if he can get the Shelby Index.

Good job. Good job, guys. Question 10. The topic is ecology. This next great question comes to us via Canaan Grove. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. The National Park Service defines this type of wetland as an area that's dominated by grasses but lacks trees.

The National Park Service defines this type of wetland as an area that's dominated by grasses but lacks trees. You know I'm married to a wetlands ecologist. Is that going to help you get this one right? I have an answer. Okay. That's her official title. I've just thought of her as a botanist, but I should refer to her now as a wetlands ecologist. Yes.

Again, the question is, the National Park Service defines this type of wetland as an area that's dominated by grasses but lacks trees. Does everybody have an answer? Hayden? Yeah, mine's stupid, though. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Randall saying marsh, Seth saying marsh, Broall saying Marsh, Seth saying Marsh, Brody saying Plains, Rick saying Marsh, Hayden saying Riparian area, Marge saying Marsh, Giannis saying Fen. The correct answer is Marsh.

The room did pretty well. According to the National Park Service, a marsh is a wetland that's dominated by grasses, rushes, and small shrubs. A bog is a wetland that has acidic, low-oxygen pools of water. A swamp is a wetland that's covered in trees. Both marshes and swamps can be either freshwater or saltwater, but bogs are almost exclusively freshwater.

Yanni, I just learned what the word fen means yesterday when I was writing this question. Explain to folks what a fen is. Why did you think it was a fen? Well, it is classified as a wetland. Am I correct there? Yep. And my wife Jennifer's worked in a lot of fens,

but it's basically where peat comes from. It's a peat bog, in other words. So it's a wetland that is slowly It's a peat bog, in other words. So it's a wetland that is slowly filled in over years and years and years. And what's cool about them is that they can take, I think, pretty shallow core samples, but get way back into history by not going that deep because the layers are very thin. Very good, Yanni. It's almost like you're married to a wetlands ecologist,

but you didn't know that the answer was a marsh. Is that like a musk egg? Is that like a fin? I bet, yeah. Could be. They definitely look like that. Like on Prince of Wales, it's just like a filled in marsh, right?

There's 11 feet of rain up there a year. I think it's totally different. And I think those musk eggs are like dying lakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lakes that are like filling in. Brody is our winner with eight correct answers in the runaway victory. Maybe somebody got seven. Somebody maybe pulled up behind him.

Yeah, Seth and I got, yeah. Brody with the dominant. The doctor and myself got seven. That's right. Brody, where is the $500 donation from Meat Eater going to go Man I haven't been thinking about it Let's just do the land access

Initiative Do we have any updates from the LAI Nobody sent you an email recently to get you to Donate to theirs Conservation organization Not that I've been paying attention No compelling pleas in your DMs? I guess not.

Come on, folks. Yeah, do you read your DMs on the IG? Yeah. Just get in his comments, then he can't miss it at all. Even if it's not related to his kids catching walleye, just tell him where he should donate to. It would be time well spent for some conservation organization. Well done, Brody.
