I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Stephen Ranella, Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Brent Reeves, Randall Williams,

Corinne Schneider, Ronnie Boehm, and Angela Perry. Ronnie, this is your first time on Meat Eater Trivia. How do you think you're going to do? I'm just shooting for the Shelby Index. Okay. I don't... After this went on about two months, I started getting worse and worse scores.

Really? Yeah. I think cooking and conservation might be my weak spots. Uh-huh. So that's knocking you out of 50% of the questions. I think the aspartame in that Diet Coke might be my weak spots.

No problem. Now, I was going to ask if we could bring a beer in here, because then I would be more fluid. No problem. Now, you've got some nicotine in you between the podcast episode and trivia here. Otherwise, I'm just locked up. You think that'll make you sharper then? That'll help? Oh, nicotine is definitely a stimulant. Oh, good, good.

Angela also— Does it let you know things you don't know? I mean, I'm saying it's like, how does— Okay. I can see in the dark. You feel better, good. Angela also. Does it let you know things you don't know? I mean, I would say it's like, how does, okay. I can see in the dark. You feel better, though. Yeah, but it's like, it's not. Oh, my bone to pick? Oh, not yet.

Angela, Angela, also your first time on the show. Steve is eager. He's been talking about it for hours. Angela, first time on the show. Yeah. How do you think you're going to do with trivia that's hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking? I'm going to under-promise and over-deliver. Okay. Yeah. How do you think you're going to do with trivia that's hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking? I'm going to under-promise and over-deliver. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. That's my motto for today. Good. I would imagine you have a lot of trivia in your brain. Maybe not as much from these four categories, though. Do you think that's true? We're about to find out.

Okay. Do you consume a lot of trivia in your personal life? I do. Highly competitive. Really? Like what? You know, was a big Jeopardy person, trivial pursuits. Was or still are?

Was, yeah. Okay, what happened? I mean, Alex is gone. Really? You don't like Ken? Just went downhill from there. Okay. So, yeah. I think you'll do okay then.

Oh, you had such a look on your face. I was surprised that she would quit over the host. Steve, arms crossed over here. Look, Spencer died. I'll still be here. We're going to straight up skip our stat and our 0% this week so we can address whatever this bone is. So go ahead.

It's not going to take that long. Okay, well, go ahead. You know how you put trivia questions on the website? We did for a little while. Oh, they're there now. Some of them. Well, the one I was, I wasn't here for it, so I just saw it, but it's so stupid. It's like you had a trivia question about what Anthony Bourdain said to Oprah Winfrey.

You're so far off in the cooking ones anyways. Go back to that gnocchi one. Did you get that one wrong or what? Well, no, because it's in his book. But at least tie it back to the book. Why tie it to like an interview with Oprah Winfrey? So it's a bad boy chef talks to a daytime TV host and you feel that fits on meat eater trivia? Well, here's the sausage being made again.

We could then have Anthony Bourdain talking on the TV to which our YouTube audience could watch are you with me still stupid okay that's that's that's your whole bone yeah okay I was I was worried it's a it's part of a broader bone uh-huh the cooking thing where you you have some that are so outside of what was another one what look it's been an ongoing problem. What color are peppers? You know? That's not as bad. That's not as bad.

There's a bunch of them. Sure, if it was a food trivia show, but I don't understand what Oprah Winfrey talking to another TV host talking to a TV host about butter has... It just has nothing to do with anything. You're not going to like some of our questions. to a TV host talking to a TV host about butter, it just has nothing to do with anything.

You're not going to like some of our questions. That's a pretty old one, though, isn't it, Spencer? I feel like you've been kind of staying between the guidelines a little better. I upset you every now and then, Brody. It still happens. We have some housekeeping to get to. During a previous episode steve opined about democrats being more likely than republicans to believe in ghosts that as a 2019 yougov survey

showed it's actually the other way around their data proved that republicans are more likely than democrats to believe in ghosts demons and vampire vampires and vampires steve then said that he worried his other political profiling might be wrong which is that democrats are more likely than republicans to be gluten intolerant well a 2019 study by michigan state university answered that exact question professors trey malone and bailey norwood surveyed over 1,000 Americans and asked them questions about their politics and their diet. Three of the questions were to establish a gluten aversion index, and one question was about who their favorite president was between Trump, Obama, Bush, and Clinton. Steve, before I reveal the results, do you have any final predictions about which president

was the favorite among the gluten intolerant voters? Obama. Here's what the study showed. Respondents who were the most gluten avoidant said that their favorite president was Donald Trump. The paper concluded that there's no evidence that the political left is more likely than the political right to have a gluten sensitivity. Well, that gets me in real trouble with someone. I told him that and he said, hon, that's true? Or you think that's true?

And I said, no, it's true. Who is that person? Do you need to issue an apology to them? It was on the episode called The Guru Comes Up for Air. The Guru Comes Up for Air. The Guru Comes Up for Air. The paper did point out, though, that there are other dietary choices that go hand-in-hand with politics. For example, in 2012, Barack Obama won 77% of counties with a Whole Foods, but lost 71% of counties with a cracker barrel. Have you ever seen Ian Frazier's thing about voting trends and wild hog densities?

I've heard you talk about it, but I haven't seen it myself. There's a good correlation. Oh, yeah. Very high correlation. Steve, you've now learned that Republicans are actually the party of gluten and ghost sensitivity. Do you have any other political stereotypes you'd like me to check in on? Well, next thing you're going to try to tell me is that Republicans really liked COVID restrictions.

I think we can go without fact checking that one. One that I've noticed kind of my whole life is it seems like blue states have slower speed limits than red states. Something I'm going to have to look into. Because of the nanny state. Because of the nanny state? Yeah. I got one for you.

Okay. Look at kids wearing bike helmets. Okay. Way-ass blue state activity. Now, Angela, do we respect Michigan State University and their studies? Does that check out? You think we're okay with the results? Yeah.

Okay. What journal was it in? I've got a great joke. I can't tell you that. A great joke that fits right into that topic. We're going to move on from there. If Yanni goes to tell you a joke, tell him later. 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. Look, I don't need to know what I stand to win to everything. That wasn't an accident. No, I'm just saying. You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers!

Question one. The topic is biology, and this will be multiple choice. This first great question comes to us via Cullen Sykes. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Which of these animals has the longest gestation period? Cougar, muskrat, coyote, or caribou? Topic is biology. Which of these animals has the longest gestation period? Cougar, muskrat, coyote, caribou? Our players have been slow to answer. No one is looking confident.

Cougar, muskrat, coyote, caribou. Brent, you were the quickest to answer. Is this confidence? Is it a guess? Do you not want to think about it any longer, so you're just going to come up with something? I went with my guts. Okay.

Now, you said you went with your... Was there an S on the end of it? Where were his guts? Not just his gut, he said. He consumed multiple guts. You guys are going with your gut. They're just getting one opinion. You got to get the whole thing.

Does everybody have an answer for the longest gestation period? His stomach's like, oh, what's that? Does everybody have an answer for the longest gestation period? The heart is like, cougars. The stomach is like, oh, what's that? Does everybody have an answer? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying cougar. Ronnie saying caribou.

Corinne saying muskrat. Brody saying caribou. Randall saying caribou. Gianna saying caribou. Steve saying caribou. Brent saying caribou. The correct answer. A muskrat can throw off three litters a year. I mean, there's one that's more obvious.

The correct answer is caribou. We're over here in the winter. Winter's corn. It did pretty well. A caribou's gestation period is 230 days. That's followed by cougar at 90 days, coyote at 60 days, and muskrat at 30 days. A general rule among mammals is that the larger the animal, the longer the gestation period. An extreme example is an elephant, which has a gestation period of 660 days,

versus a mouse, which has a gestation period of 20 days. Does it have a name? Like a principle? I don't know. The name of that principle. I haven't heard it. We can come up with one right now. The meat eater principle.

They're an R species. What's that? An R species. What does that mean? That just breaks the world into two groups. Slow turn. Slow turn. Come up to your mic for us, please.

Yeah. Steve just said it. It breaks it into several groups. What's the other one? There's R and P or what is it? R and N? N. There's like high fecundity, low P or what is it? R and N? N. There's like high fecundity, low investment.

Right. Low fecundity, high investment. Their turn is very slow. Okay, reboot. Question two. The topic is conservation. What conservation organization changed their magazine name to Covers in 2019? Oh, say that again?

What conservation organization changed their magazine name to covers in 2019? The question is behind you, Steve. If you need to see it in front of you. Angela, what do we know about the gestation period of dire wolves? Do you think it was the same

as a gray wolf? Yeah, hard to say. Probably. We don't know. Don't know. Okay. Yeah. Again, what conservation organization changed their magazine name to Covers in 2019?

Hard. The room looks stumped. Not at all. Corinne, I think we're waiting on you. Okay. Ronnie, be quiet. Ronnie is helping out the room. Brent, are you ready?

Yeah, I need somebody to repeat what Ronnie said. Is everybody ready, Brent? I'm ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. This was a bone I was throwing to Ronnie, which he was trying to give away. Angela says Nature Conservancy. Ronnie says Ruffed Grouse Society. Corinne without an answer.

Brody saying Ruffed Grouse Society. Randall saying Sierra Club. Giannis saying Pheasants Forever. Steve saying Quail Forever. Brent without an answer, the correct answer is Ruffed Grouse Society or the American Woodcock

Society. I got it. That's not their name anymore. Was that his bone? It's the Ruffed Grouse Society or there's the American Woodcock Society. The magazine used to be called Red Grouse Society, and before that it was called RGS,

and before that it was called The Drummer. According to the group's president, those names didn't fully capture their cause, so they changed the name to Covers a few years ago. They said they work to conserve wildlife habitat in the form of cover, which benefits rabbits, deer, grouse, and more. Ronnie, that was the bone I was throwing to you because you do a lot of work with

Roughed Grouse Society. What do you like about what they got going on? Microphone. Oh, the active forestry and the emphasis now on getting the states and the federal governments or the federal forest. I don't want to say departments, whatever it is. They're getting a much stronger voice in active logging and act that it's just needed to the forest are just way too old. And for years it's been kind of a taboo thing and they're really breaking

through that even down in the, in the Appalachians and, uh, Carolinas and stuff, they're really making a big change. So do you like the magazine name covers? Do you feel like that was a good switch for them? Even down in the Appalachians and Carolinas and stuff, they're really making a big change. Do you like the magazine name Covers? Do you feel like that was a good switch for them? I didn't think they needed it, but, you know. Yeah, I don't think that. The OG one they had of the drummer, that seems perfect.

They need to circle back to there. I don't think they've hit on it yet. So they're still not there. The search continues, or should continue. Coming from the founder of Meat Eater. Question three. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Andrew Hakeem for sending this great question. Andrew is going to get a book signed by Steve.

Florida and blank were the only states in 2022 that had 1.5 million more fishing license holders than hunting license holders. Florida and blank were the only states in 2022 that had 1.5 million more fishing license holders than hunting license holders. You need to tell me what that other state is. Florida and blank. They were the only states that had 1.5 million more fishing license holders. Is that 1.5 or more or 1.5 million? Actually 1.5. Literally 1.5 million more. There's no way that's literally true.

Do you know what? I pounded this in my kitchen. It's like 1.52 and the other one's like 1.49. Are there states that have 2 million more fishing licenses than hunting licenses? These would be the states with the most. They have the largest

discrepancy at 1.5 million. It could have been a much better word. Are there some with 1.7, 1.8, 2. been much better word because are there some with one seven one eight two point one there are not this is the most that's it's a you know what that's a good criticism good criticism here's the question again florida and blank for the only states in 2022 that's all i'm after florida and blank were the only states in 2022 that had 1.5 million more fishing license holders than hunting license holders does everybody have an answer i don't like this question randall hasn't complained yet randall

what do you think of this question do you have it right i would have gone with what two states have the largest how i would have thought about, the largest discrepancy between hunters and anglers. I'll put it this way. I haven't had nearly so much of a problem with understanding what the question's asking. I just have nothing to go on. Okay. Does everybody have an answer? It's just a guess.

I'm pretty sure I arrived at it as much as I disliked the question. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying California. Ronnie saying Texas. Corinne saying Texas. Brody saying California. Randall saying California. Giannis and Steve both saying California. Brent saying Maryland.

We have a correct answer in the room. It's California. A lot of correct answers. Players did pretty well. Last year, both Florida and Texas had 1.7 million fishing license holders versus 200,000 hunting license holders. They were by far the biggest discrepancy in the country. The next closest states are Texas, Minnesota, and North Carolina, which have about 900,000 more fishing license holders than hunting license holders. Question four.

The topic is hunting. This is a visual question. To see what the room is seeing, go watch this episode on MeatEater's YouTube channel. Here's the prompt. This ancient dog breed that hails from Asia has a history of hunting wolves and leopards. Oh, my God. My dad had one of these dogs and I can't think of it.

This ancient dog breed that hails from Asia has a history of hunting wolves and leopards. You know this one? I mean, it has kind of two names, but... Okay. She's got a bone to pick with you. I didn't suspect that would be

the case. Would you mind showing me one of them? This ancient dog breed that hails from Asia has a history of hunting wolves and leopards. You can see the photo of this dog on our YouTube channel. Did you have something to throw in, Angela? I take issue with ancient. Okay. Modern, maybe. Does everybody have an answer I don't Randall you're not gonna

I'm not gonna get there no just put a question mark I think is this the one that like one of them sold for an insane amount of money? I mean, go ahead, because I don't know. So I'm going with the chit-chat. Does it help, Steve? For generally, I do not like that kind of chit-chat. Now, Brody, your dad had one of these. Before the answer was revealed.

And you don't know what it is. Maybe it was. Man, I can't remember. I'll know when I hear the answer, but I don't have an answer. Ronnie, do you know this one as a dog guy? I recognize it. I feel 50-50. I feel 50-50.

I think I was recently chased by one. It was. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying Tibetan Mastiff or Chow Chow. Ronnie saying Chow. Corinne saying Chow Chow. Brody without an answer.

Randall without an answer. Giannis saying Caucasian Shepherd. I thought Chow might have spelled it wrong. Steve spelled Chow Chow like shit too. Brent saying Akita. The correct answer is the Chow Chow. This side of the room did very well. Some sources say the Chow Chow was domesticated about 3,000 years ago in Arctic Asia.

The Tang Empire, which ruled from 618 to 907, had a special relationship with the dog breed, emperors of the Tang Dynasty had kennels made up of 25,000 chow chows, which they used for hunting, herding, guarding, and sled pulling. Angela, what other fun facts can you share with us about the chow chow? Why isn't it an ancient breed, and did you hunt with one in Japan? Oh, no, because they're not from Japan. Okay. Sweet. Might be time to place a new question.

There is some story, if you Google it, there's a story of recently one sold for an insane amount of money that was like a breeder from a famous breeder or something like that. So what we know about ancient dog breeds is that dogs that look ancient, like genetically, like a chow chow, that they look ancient and genetically are ancient, what we would call a basal breed, because they were geographically and culturally isolated. So all ancient breed dogs only appear ancient because they were in locations that had very little admixture and interbreeding with other types of dogs.

So they have that kind of pure lineage that didn't have a lot of mixture. But they're not, you know, this dog is a mix of lots of things in ancient times. I'm almost certain I was referencing one of your papers that called this a basal breed, which other sources then called an ancient dog breed. So you'd say it is or is not an ancient dog breed. Ancient, the most ancient, I tell people if you want an ancient dog, the real most ancient, I tell people, if you want an ancient dog, the real most ancient unmixed dog is a husky or a malamute or something like that. Followed very closely by our recent genetic work on, what are they called?

Carolina dogs. You know, Carolina dogs. I do not know that one. dog that kind of pulled out of the swamps of the Carolinas and are probably an ancient type of American dog. Dogs brought here with first Native Americans and kind of got lost in the swamps of the Carolinas and are now a primitive dog breed. Almost like a dingo is in Australia. There's something interesting about all kind of like village dogs, right? They all look the same. They all look like dingoes, medium size, kind of yellowish, some white patches,

pricked ears, semi-curly tail. Dogs converge into this look when they just kind of get mixy. Question five. What do you got? If you're wrong about so many parts of the question, at what point

does the question get scratched and we replace it? Question five. The topic is cooking. But you can ignore it, but it can't be. It's like the question can't be ignored. My question can't be ignored. Was the question wrong, Angela?

It wasn't from Japan and it's not ancient. I never said it was from Japan. I said it hailed from Asia. I was worried that when she was talking about hunting in Japan, she may bring up some of the Asian breeds, this being one of them. We'll accept ancient. Thank you. Basil would be more correct.

Question five. The topic is cooking. What organization started their annual awards show for chefs, restaurants, and authors in 1990? Fairly confident room, except for maybe Ronnie. What does it say? I don't see it. I can see it on there. Should have had a little more nicotine, maybe.

It just came to him, Steve. I think I got it. Maybe. Okay. Brody, is that a disgusted look? Is that a confident cigar? No, no, no, no. Put that. He breathed that in.

There's a hiding in there. Brody is deciding on something. Does everybody have an answer? No. That's fine. What organization started their annual award show for chefs, restaurants, and authors in 1990?

By writing down too much. But you don't want to leave a wrong answer as it is. We've gone through this where what is a wrong answer and what isn't? I don't know. Is everybody ready? Brody, I think we're waiting on confirmation

from you. I don't want to add this. See how much fun this is? That's why I had to have Spencer play so he could have some fun. I like playing. Next time I come out, I'll sit there. Brody?

Everyone has an answer? I think we're waiting. Not really, but yeah. Oh, that's what we're asking. No, no, no. I'm okay. I can't remember the... Bro.

Okay. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela. Oh, beard. I was like, it's something... Ronnie's saying James Beard. Corinne's saying James Beard.

Brody's saying James Beard. James Beard. I think they got it wrong. What'd you say? Everybody said James Beard. These guys don James Beard. Brody saying James Beard. James Beard. I think they got it wrong. What did you say? Everybody said James Beard. These guys don't have it. Give me the question again. What don't they have it?

It's what organization. Oh, I'm sorry. You got it. The correct answer is the James Beard Foundation. If you just said James Beard, we will give it to you. That's what I was wondering about. The James Beard Foundation was created in 1986 by a former student of James Beard. The nonprofit is famous for their dinners, scholarships, and accolades.

The awards show, which has been held in New York City and Chicago, is often referred to as the Oscars of the food world. Steve, you were nominated for one. Twice. Twice. Not a winner, though? No. One was for The Wild Within. What was the other one for? No? No. Meteor winner, though? No. One was for The Wild Within. What was the other one for?

No? No. Meteor was nominated twice. Okay. Good on ya. Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Everyone's doing pretty well.

We've got Angela, Corinne, and Brent, all with two points apiece. Giannis, Steve, and Randall have three points. And tied up in first place are Brody and Ronnie with four points apiece. Giannis, Steve, and Randall have three points. And tied up in first place are Brody and Ronnie with four points apiece. Now, does this go to Steve's thing that the oldest guys in the room do better? Because it doesn't work when I play at home,

Steve. Let me tell you. But it might be because you got basically thrown two bones. I thought, yeah, it could be. The nicotine in the aspartame I'll be making a donation to the rough

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

Welcome to the OnX Club, y'all. Question six. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Haley Adams. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Yellowfin, West Slope, Rio Grande, Greenback, and Bonneville are all types of this fish. And you need to be specific. If you think the answer is Tundra Swan,

then you need to write Tundra Swan. We don't have to make this personal, Spencer. Yellowfin, West Slope, Rio Grande, Greenback, and Bonneville are all types of this fish. I need you to be specific. Confident. I think you could have made this more difficult. I was not confident. I just had to write something down.

We will see how the players do. Waiting on Corinne and Yanni. Angela, how do you feel about fish? Do you know fish? I'm good at fishing. Okay. Bold statement. Now that she likes it, she's good.

Again, I need you to be specific for this answer. Oh, yeah. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying trout, Ronnie saying trout, Corinne saying goldfish, Brody and Randall and Giannis and Steve saying cutthroat trout, Brent saying tuna. The correct answer is cutthroat trout. We're not specific.

The Bonneville tuna? Now, Brody felt like that was easy, but all of our folks from Montana got that one right. I can't beat tuna just because of yellow. Well, that's slope tuna. There are about 15 subspecies of cutthroat trout, all of which are native to North America. It's said that the cutthroat's native range is the second biggest among north american trout species with lakers being number one their historical range stretches from alaska to new mexico man you want to know something nuts what

do you got um do i got time for a quick tidbit sure you're the one whose uh schedule we're on there's a creek by our fish shack which which is, there's probably a 25-foot waterfall, not even 100 yards from Tideline. Not even 100 yards from Tideline to the waterfall. And there's a population of cuts that live in that. Really? Yeah. That's amazing. That was the coolest looking cutthroat I've ever seen.

They live between the tide water and that water and they above the waterfall as well I've seen any evidence of them and it's not even like a kind of place there's a huge plunge pool below waterfall maybe that's some very much they must go out of the salt but like no coastal cut throats are all over the northwest maybe maybe this 100-yard stream bed has some kind of thing. They go out in the salt, right? Yeah. How big did you just recently find out?

Rosie was swimming in there, and she said it was full of a bunch of them, and Jimmy said there's 30, 40 of them, and he went and caught one. It was about, what, six, seven inches long? It might have been pushing eight. Question seven. The topic is conservation. According to the Federal AC Act, the black market demand for this organ is the greatest threat to global bear populations.

According to the Federal AC Act, the black market demand for this organ is the greatest threat to global bear populations. We have a very confident room. This may be our first 100 percenter of the game. When we get done, I could help you out on that question. Is everybody ready? Is everybody ready? Corinne doing a lot of erasing. According to the Federal AC Act, the black market demand for this organ is the greatest threat to global bear populations. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying gallbladder, gallbladder, gallbladder.

Angela has one word. The entire room said gallbladder. They all got it right. The correct answer is gallbladder. They all got it right. The correct answer is gallbladder. Gallbladders and paws are considered the top reason that bears get poached across the world. Both body parts were at the center of a recent poaching case in Alaska where an unlicensed guide offered clients hunts, bear organs, and prostitutes. You can read that full story on TheMeatEater.com,

titled Illegal Bear Outfitter Offering Prostitution and Gall Bladders Busted in Sting Operation. That question could have been improved if you had left out organs and said like bear parts. Because that way you could have created some confusion between the paws and the gallbladder. But they list both of them. You would have lost some people. And you wouldn't have had 100%. Spencer? They list both of

them and i'll tell you this my wife didn't get it right you said organs a foot is not an organ so had you gone with i probably would have i probably would have picked paul if he said it would have been a great question i would have gotten it some other people would have gotten it wrong to that to that could have had everything that I like in a question. To that catastrophe, about six years ago, I was coming out of the George Washington in Virginia grouse hunting. Tell me the story. And I thought I saw, you don't see any cattle around the foothills where I was coming out of the mountains. And I'm going by with my truck and just see this.

I said, well, it's got to be a dead black Angus cow. I'm like like and what made me turn around I don't know it was it wasn't quite black dark out and I backed up put my headlights on it and I still couldn't determine what it was and it was four piled up black bears whoa no pause on any of them and all gutted but still no no me taking off it like like like somebody's what they were doing. And it's a big issue in Virginia and West Virginia. How's that story go after that?

You then call law enforcement. I called the DNR and I just told them where I saw it. I didn't have a way to mark it. You still eat bear meat. I'm contributing to the problem. Question eight. The topic is public lands. Which states only two national forests are the Chippewa National Forest and Superior National Forest?

This is question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. The topic is public lands. Which states only two national forests are the Chippewa National Forest and Superior National Forest? Steve is confident. No, no, no, no. Randall is confident. I think Steve was made less confident by the rest of the room not having an answer yet.

No, no, no, no, no. Okay. I got to think for a minute. Randall, do you have this one right? I think so. Okay. I feel pretty good. Is Brody praying or is he right? He's got

the thing right over his eyes. He can't talk about it, but there's a thing I'm thinking about. That's it. You got it. I've heard him say that many times over the years. Brody, do you think you have an idea about what the answer is? Well, I've got an idea.

Okay. Has everyone else got an answer? Uh-uh. I want you to name the state that has the Chippewa National Forest and Superior National Forest. Yanni and Brody, you seem to be in agreement. You guys like each other's answers. Randall and I. He likes my answer, but I don't think it's what he wrote down.

Randall and Yanni, I'm sorry. It is. It is what I wrote down. Oh, it is? Yeah. Well, you're- Why are you guys comparing notes? Because we trust each other not to change.

My board's down. The rest of us don't trust you. My board's down. The rest of us don't trust you. My board's down. I can look over shoulders. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying Michigan. Ronnie saying Wisconsin.

Corinne saying West Virginia. Brody saying Michigan. Randall saying Minnesota. Giannis saying Minnesota. Steve saying Wisconsin. Brent saying Michigan. The correct answer saying Minnesota. Giannis saying Minnesota. Steve saying Wisconsin. Brent saying Michigan. The correct answer is Minnesota. Oh, God.

Dang. The players got it right. That really hurts. I thought Steve was naming me because he wrote down so fast. I was like, it's got to be Michigan. No. Because Michigan combines some stuff man right so that was throwing me for a loop but I went with Scottie and I was like that's

not right you know and we had the man of Steve right in her backyard so I knew that that wasn't on there that's now part of a broader system they rolled it in like to another federal for it so it's not so hyphenated oh I got it's all became like Chippewa Manistee or something like that. Oh, Manistee here and there or something. The Superior National Forest butts up against Lake Superior and is part of the Boundary Waters region. The Chippewa National Forest covers 600,000 acres in northern Minnesota,

most of which are wetlands. It has the most water of any national forest, boasting 13% of all surface water within the entire national forest system. That still doesn't seem fair to Superior, Wisconsin, and Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. That's not a fair question. Phil, we have two questions left. Where does the scoreboard stand? This is one of the better games we've had in a while, but we still have to say goodbye to Brent Reeves, Corinne.

Corinne and Angela, who all have three points apiece. We're going to start our own club. We've got Steve and Ronnie with five points, and then Randall, Giannis, and Brody are tied up in first place with six points apiece. Two questions left. Not Brent's. That was an important question that last one.

Question nine. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Tyler Olson. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Gordon Ramsey once described this freshwater fish as the cod of the American South. Now you ask a question about the South. Steve is going to hate this question because it quotes a famous chef like the Anthony Bourdain one that he strongly dislikes.

As long as he didn't say it to Oprah. I don't hate this question at all. Oh, okay. You didn't like that he said it to Oprah. In talking about something that has nothing to do with, like, you don't hunt butter. No, but you cook with it. Yeah, I know, but it's just stupid. Okay.

Gordon Ramsey once described this freshwater fish as the cod of the American South. This is question nine. And, like, down south, so many things are known by nicknames. Now, Ronnie, you may be helping out the room here. So it's like when you say, like, I got trout wrong. I would just save it for later. I got trout wrong because I didn't put cutthroat. Save it for later.

He always tells us if it needs to be specific. Well, he did. Yeah, he has not specified the degree of specificity we need here. What level of specificity do you have? If you think the answer is Tundra Swan, you can just put Swan. There we go. That's a great little deal.

Thank you. It just came to the top of my brain here. It's not referencing anything at all. No, it's not. Is everybody ready? Now I am. Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Angela saying catfish. Ronnie saying crappie.

Corinne saying crappie. Brody saying catfish. Randall saying catfish. Giannis saying catfish. Steve and Brent saying catfish. The correct answer is catfish. Everyone except for Ronnie and Corinne who said crappie? Got it right.

Ramsey made this declaration while filming a show in Oklahoma where he goes noodling for catfish. He likened their taste to cod or halibut and used plenty of expletives to describe their delicious flavor. If you want to learn how to make my favorite recipe for catfish, then watch Jesse Griffith's video on TheMeatEater.com called The Best Beer-Battered Fish. Catfish just doesn't taste like cod.

I'd rather eat catfish than halibut. Phil, we have one question left. Did anything change? Nope. Nothing changed except now Ronnie is no longer in the running. But we've got Steve with six points. Brody,

Giannis and Randall are tied up with seven in first place. Question 10. So let me think about this for a second. You're going to have one very tailored to my. You think you'd throw a pound of bone every game. You need a hell of a bone right now, Steve. I would like to have a pocket full of questions that we kind of work out

together. Question 10. The topic is gear. This brand famously ends their commercials with the tagline. I'm Larry Potterfield. Thanks for your business. Topic is gear. This brand famously ends their commercials with the tagline,

I'm Larry Potterfield, thanks for your business. A confident Steve. Steve, you have this one right. It doesn't look like Yanni and Randall and Brody will get it wrong. Larry Potterfield. Oh, you know him. Oh, yeah, he seems like a nice guy. Okay.

He can put the screws to you, though. I'm Larry Potterfield. Thanks for your business. I just want to tell people at home who are on the edge of their seats, I did not win. Okay. Steve has made a declaration. I mean, I got it right, but I just peaked at Yanni's board. It looks like we will have a three-way tiebreaker with Brody, Randall, and Yannis.

You should go out early. There's always no pressure. Does everybody have an answer? Can we get a peek, Randall, and Giannis. You should go out early. There's always no pressure. Does everybody have an answer? Let me get a peek, Randall, what you got down there. Ronnie, do you have this one right? I believe so. We're going to tiebreaker. I don't have it right.

I can't forget about O'Leary. Okay. At all, but I know exactly what the first one that shows it. I'll be like, oh, yeah, that one. Isn't the villain in What a Wonderful Life, what's his last name? Is it Potter or Potterville? Yeah, it is. Yeah, Potter.

They named the town Potterville in the alternate universe. Yeah, Potterville. That's right. Is everybody ready? Yeah, but it's not good. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Angela saying North Face. Ronnie saying Motel 6.

North Face. Corinne without an answer. Brody saying Midway USA, Randall and Giannis, and Steve saying Midway USA, Brent saying Massey Ferguson. The correct answer is Midway USA. Dude, if you're trying to find some ammo or a weird-ass gun part, go to Midway, man. Potterfield founded Midway USA in 1977.

Here's a 34-second video I compiled just of him executing his famous commercial tagline. Take it away, Phil. Sorry, guys. This is going great. A little bit of a punch there for Phil, huh? Yeah, I know. It's great. I'm Larry Potterfield with MidwayUSA.

Thanks for your business. For reloading. Hi, I'm Larry Potterfield with MidwayUSA. Thanks for your business. I'm Larry Potterfield with MidwayUSA. Thanks for your business. It does have that vibe. That's Tom.

Thanks for your business. They take customers seriously. I got no affiliation. I've never heard of it. Hi, I'm Larry Potterfield. Just keeps going. If you're looking for a weird ass gun park or esoteric ammo. Larry takes fast shipping very seriously.

He'll send you an email to tell you. I'm not sure where they're located. They don't just have esoteric stuff. I'm saying like Iowa often wind up there. If you can't find something, you'll find it there. We are going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tie-breaking.

You ain't first, you're last. I think just cut it at if you ain't first, you're last, and then go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it. Hey, Phil, f*** off, man. The tie-breaking topic is conservation, and this question was sent to me by Steve Schwann. According to the Migratory Bird Act,

what is the max number of days a state's duck season can be? Mmm, that's a good question. The topic is conservation. According to the Migratory Bird Act, what is the max number of days a state's duck season can be? Everyone in the room should play along, because if somebody hits it right on the nose, we can add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.

But the only answers that matter for the win are Giannis, Randall, and Brody. Do you know it exactly, Randall? I have no earthly idea. Could you repeat that question? According to the Migratory Bird Act, what is the max number of days a state's duck season can be? Yeah, can I tidbit this a little bit? Sure, if our players aren't.

Okay, don't help them out too much. That's why you wind up with all these crazy ass, like, opens, closes, opens back up for a weekend, closes, opens, because they got to stay within the parameter. Is everybody ready? Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? Educated guess. Brody?

If I DOB, can I just win? I think we're all going to be like within 30 days. Okay. If I DOB, I just win, right? I hope so. If you hit it right on the nose, no, you don't win, but you'll add a $100 donation. I never wanted to do away with that rule, but now I'd rather like it. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers for the win. We have Angela saying 25, Ronnie saying 62, Corinne saying 75, Steve saying, is that a 90? Steve saying 90, Brent saying 60. In our three competitors left, we have Brody saying 90, Randall saying 125, Giannis saying 100. One of you is within seven days of the correct answer. Brody is. The correct answer is 107 days, making Giannis the winner.

That's great. I'm back, baby. I'm back, baby. I'm back. Utah is the closest to hitting that season with a season that's 106 days long. What a game. Wow. How am I losing that way? I got to go to my notes.

It's been so long, I can't remember a single conservation organization. So I got a couple of them written down here. Give me a second. Utah is the closest to hitting that. Their season is 106 days long, which is one day short of the maximum length. Yeah, I was thinking like average. I just wasn't thinking

maximum. Yanni, as the winner with, what, eight correct answers and the tie-breaking correct answer, you get to choose where the $500 donation goes. What's it going to be? I'm still trying to find it in my notes. Okay.

Give me just a second. Got any hints for us? What's it got to do with? Phil, can you play the Larry Potter field? Maybe a few more runs on that, Phil. Oh, the one I had written down I already used. Okay, good use of time. What are we going to go with?

Let's go with the National Deer Alliance. Okay, what do you like about them, Yanni? That's a surprise to me. I've just been, you know, I don't want to use that term, but I've been all in recently on habitat management because of that little project I got going on in Wisconsin. And so I've been going a lot, spent some time reading on what they put out there

about improving my habitat in Wisconsin. So I appreciate it. Yeah, it was a good clean win, man. You slugged it out against all the bone throwing. Slugged it out, comes in the end. Oh, and I thought I had been chased by a Caucasian shepherd within the last year or six months, and that dog wasn't quite, not exactly like the Chow Chow, but pretty close.

Yeah, but you got Minnesota and no one else did. Yeah, just slug it out. Oh, he did? He just kept, he stayed in there, scored early, and kept winning, man.
