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 Brody Henderson, Chester Floyd, Randall Williams, Colin Fopma, Tressa Croker, Max Barta, and Roman Schnobrick.

Roman, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater. I am the community coordinator coordinator so i get to monitor our general inbox and answer questions all day how many emails a day i would say usually around 100 man it's a lot to keep up with social media dms keep me entertained too especially steve's yeah and and roman uh i always announce on the, when you're sending a question to the show, send it to trivia at the meedeater.com, but people still fail to listen. And then they send the email to you instead, to which you need to forward to the trivia inbox. How often does that happen?

Probably about every day. Yeah. Every day. It used to be significantly worse, but our listeners have learned. And so I'm going to quit harping on where you need to send the email. I'll try to tell you just once or twice an episode instead of four or five times. But for Roman's sake, stop sending the emails there. Please send them to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. And people should know that Roman's the man. Go on.

He's just the man. Oh, okay, yeah. That's right. Roman is in a Kenyon Noble commercial that's been airing for about the last six months. Really? So many times. Is that your side gig? Got a hustle going on?

Uh-huh. It shows him building out his very own storage system in his pickup, riding mountain bikes, camping, right? So my buddy's grandpa actually built that for me. I just had breakfast with him this morning. Oh, you didn't have to tell us that. He said we should continue lying to people. Tell them you built it.

Roman the man. Now this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meadeater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking, and there is a prize. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 160. That's how many hours a professional fact checker spent on the board game to ensure

that all of the questions are clear and accurate. This fact checker has edited bestselling books and award-winning magazines and put me through the ringer. Oh, Phil, my computer is going wild here. Okay, we're back. Sorry. Do you just want me to power through? If that's okay with you, it would be wonderful. This fact checker has edited bestselling books and award-winning magazines and put me through the ringer so that we could create the best product possible. And as we'll

discuss in a little bit, sometimes I need that second set of eyes. I was just gonna ask it. Why don't you have him start doing a little fact checking before these games? Yeah. No arguments. It's a her. Brody. Sorry. Sorry. It's a her. She costs money.

So that's why. Best product possible, Spencer. There you go. You're not getting quite the best product possible with this show, but close to it. We're just one fact checker short. Now here's our zero percenter question of the week, which tests how much knowledge players have retained from previous shows. This question was from episode 433. The topic was conservation and nobody got it right. What Great Lake City created an ecological disaster in 1986 when they released 1.5 million balloons in an attempt to set a world record? Cleveland. Cleveland is right.

That's your home state. Randall, what year were you born? 1986. Oh, okay. So do you have any childhood memories about people talking about that event going down? None. I learned of it first at this very table. Really?

Yeah. Okay. You should go home and ask folks. I was a transplant to Ohio though. So I arrived in 94 from outside of DC, Northern Virginia. Cleveland's home to a lot of ecological disasters. Now the correct answer was Cleveland. The incorrect answers given were Toledo, Chicago, and Green Bay.

Now, we have a lot of housekeeping to get to because listeners took issue with three questions from episode 471. Some of their corrections were warranted, and some of them were not. Let's start with question five from that game, which was, quote, this national park in Virginia is the closest national park to Washington, D.C. The correct answer was Shenandoah, but about a dozen listeners wrote in saying this was wrong. They were arguing on behalf of answers like Great Falls Park, Manassas National Battlefield, Prince William Forest Park, and Arlington Cemetery. Now, all of these places are managed by the Park Service,

but that doesn't make them one of the country's 63 national parks. And if you were using that logic, then you'd have to consider places like the Washington Monument, the National Mall, and the White House itself, which all sit on property that are owned by the National Park Service. So Shenandoah is staying correct. Fantastic. Next up is question six, which was, quote, this medication, which Donald Trump said cured his COVID-19, can be used to kill ticks that live on moose.

The correct answer was ivermectin, but the question itself was inaccurate. Here's why. Donald Trump didn't take ivermectin. The Washington Post article I was referencing for that question said that, quote, Donald Trump supporters are crediting ivermectin with curing COVID-19. But I made an error in saying that Donald Trump himself took it, which was wrong. So we're throwing that question out because of my mistake. And finally, we'll talk about question seven, which was quote the official prime

meridian, which separates the hemispheres and establishes time zones is located in this country. The correct answer was England, but about two dozen listeners wrote in saying this was incomplete and they were right. Here's why it was flawed. Here's why it was flawed. And we're throwing out the question as many listeners pointed out the way it was worded would also allow for answers like France, Spain, Algeria, Ghana, and more. Now, I remind you that this question was sent by Steve, with whom I argued that it was a bad question, but he insisted otherwise. So all of this is to say that I get things wrong, and I hate it when I get things wrong, and that's why we hired the independent fact checker for the board game. Her 160 hours spent critiquing my questions were as valuable as our listeners who do the same.

Now, when you say you throw a question out, are you going back to change the results of those games? And it didn't change the result of that game. Well, it would change the result of the game if you didn't throw out the question that I got right and you threw out the question that Seth got right. Look at the memory on you, Randall. Oh, yeah. Because I had to go back to look at this

and that's the exact scenario. Are you surprised that Randall remembers every single detail? Yes, that's why he does so well. I remember this game very well. It was one of many last minute catastrophes on my recent record. You probably remember all the ones I get wrong too. I do remember those.

Now, Brody, you asked why we don't have the fact checker for this game. Our listeners are the fact checker. All of them do the fact checking for me. It's a flawed process when it happens after the show. Kind of a delay there, Spencer. Quite a bit of a delay. So I'll just count on them to keep me on my toes.

Now the Shelby Index for today's round is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything how's that you just tend to win everything game on suckers question one the topic is mountain men this will be multiple choice and this first great question comes to us via chad benson country artist johnny horton wrote a song in 1960 dedicated to this

mountain man is it jim bridger hugh glass grizzly adams or john coulter can we hear the song after this i will play the song for you. For now, though, you need to tell me. Country artist Johnny Horton wrote a song in 1960 dedicated to this mountain man. Choices are Jim Bridger, Hugh Glass, Grizzly Adams, John Coulter. Chester, can I trouble you for a minute? No, you don't get a new marker.

Brody or Chester, can I trouble you for... No, you don't get a new marker. Oh. Brody or Chester, can we help out Randall? Some markers right here. I'm getting nothing here. Oh. Thank you. Does anybody know this or is everybody guessing? Guess for me. Guess. What a song

it is. Country artist. Are you searching that next book yet, Randall? Not yet. This could be part of your research. Country artist Johnny Horton wrote a song in 1960 dedicated to this mountain man. Jim Bridger, Hugh Glass, Grizzly Adams, John Coulter. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin saying John Coulter, Roman saying Grizzly Adams, Tressa saying John Coulter. Roman saying Grizzly Adams. Tressa saying John Coulter. Max saying Grizzly Adams. Randall saying Grizzly Adams. Chester saying John Coulter. Brody saying John Coulter.

Nobody got it. The correct answer was Jim Bridger. That song was on the album Johnny Horton Makes History. Here is one minute of it. Wait, wait. Before we play this, Spencer, can you explain to these people who Grizzly Adams is? No, go ahead and explain. He had a grizzly that he trained, right?

But he spent some time during the mountain man era. It was like some tacky 70s television show. Was he even a mountain man? He was a real mountain man. He was. Was he like Guy on a Buffalo? He was around during the mountain man era. I did not realize mountain man? He was a real mountain man. He was. Was he like Guy on a Buffalo? He was around during the mountain man era.

I thought it was all fake. And then I think post mountain man era is when he trained a grizzly that he entertained folks with. Didn't know that. Learn something new every day. Phil, take it away. He spoke with General Custer And said, listen, yellow hair

The Sioux are a great nation So treat them fair and square Sit in on their war council Don't laugh away their pride But Custer didn't listen At little big horn Custer died Let's drink to old Jim Bridger. That's a good song.

Yeah. It's good. As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die. Can you turn it up a little, Phil? He was making history, never once occurred to him. But I doubt if we'd have been here if it weren't for men like Jim. So this is a concept album of people making history he explains history what's uh the battle of new orleans i feel like that's maybe the most famous song from that album that's that's johnny horton and it's him telling you about a historical lesson

he was a famous artist at the time sure i think I think so. I'm just asking. Chester, have you played any Johnny Horton ever? I have not, but I was just going to say maybe I go home and give that a pick. Oh, yeah. Question two. You know what? That would be a great cover because nobody would know it. Yeah. You wrote it.

Chester original. He would think I wrote it again. Question two. The topic is gear rei made national headlines in 2022 when they announced that they'd never be open on this day again now i'm not looking for like a a day of the week like if this question was about chick-fil-a right the answer would be sunday but it's not that kind of question rei made national headlines in 2022 when they announced that they'd never be open on this day again. Confident Brody and Randall and Chester, rest of the room is thinking.

The topic is gear. REI made national headlines in 2022 when they announced that they'd never be open on this day again. Brody, do you know this one? We're going to find out. I think so. I think we're waiting on this side of the table. Tress is ready with her

answer. Colin Roman Max or not. Is everybody good? I think so. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin saying Arbor Day. Roman saying Earth Day. Tress is saying 4th of July.

Max saying Earth Day. Randall saying Black Friday. Chester saying Christmas. Brody saying Thanksgiving. The correct answer is Black Friday. Damnester saying Christmas. Brody saying Thanksgiving. The correct answer is Black Friday. Damn it, Randall. Randall got it right.

REI first decided in 2015 that they wouldn't be open on Black Friday. This became an annual announcement until 2022 when they officially said they'd never open on Black Friday again. Instead, they called it an opt-out side day, encouraging their employees to spend time with friends and family outdoors.

And hop on the internet and buy some shit. Roman, I like to know where your head is at. Question three. The topic is fishing. The International Eel Pout Festival was held for 40 consecutive years on Leech Lake in this state. The whole room is confident except for Tressa. Here's the question again. The International Eel Pout Festival was held for 40 consecutive years on Leech Lake in this state.

Brody, what's the matter it's too easy too easy i i love it you've been there i love the easy ones have you been there to this event oh let's not the chit chat not not saying quick answers is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have colin saying minnesota roman saying Minnesota, Tressa saying Michigan. The rest of the room says Minnesota. They got it. The correct answer was Minnesota. The International Eel Pout Festival was an annual gathering in Walker, Minnesota from

1979 to 2019. It's taken a bit of a hiatus, but rumors are swirling that the event might return in 2024. The festival attracted a crowd of 10,000 visitors each year who showed up to party and fish. Max, what do you know about the International Eel Pout Festival? It's basically a straight up party. Fishing is like a side activity. Fishing is like a side gig and there's thousands and thousands of people on the ice at once, and it's definitely a sight to see.

Yeah, and I think they shut it down because it became maybe too much of a party and people were leaving too much of a mess. Yeah, big time. Maybe it'll come back. Is it like a music festival but for fisher fans? They have music there. Yeah, pretty much. Sure, you can call it a music festival.

Sounds like sturgeon spearing on Lake Winnebago. It does sound like that. Question four. The topic was hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Sam Crowthers for sending this great question. Sam is going to get a book signed by Steve. This animal that's native to the Middle East

has been nicknamed the devil bird by hunters. Topic is hunting. This animal that's native to the Middle East has been nicknamed the devil bird by hunters. We have a confident Brody and Randall. The rest of the room, not so much. Brody, do you know this one? Randall, do you know this one? Randall, do you know this one? I believe so.

This animal that's native to the Middle East has been nicknamed the devil bird by hunters. Now, Brody didn't like how easy that last one is. I think this one's too easy also. Okay. Well, two of you have come up with answers. Do you think our listeners from say Georgia or Oklahoma would know where Leech Lake is?

Yeah. Come on. No. Not as obvious. It's not as obvious as you're saying. Eel Pout and Leech Lake. I feel like there's a lot of info there. And like, forget it. A few more folks coming up with answers.

Max, do you have this one right? I don't know. I'm thinking about the guys that, like, ride horses. Okay. This animal that's native to the Middle East has been nicknamed the devil bird by hunters. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. have colin saying raven roman saying raven tressa saying roadrunner max saying golden eagle randall saying chucker chester saying turkey

vulture brody saying chucker the correct answer is chuckerar. Brody and Randall got it right. I was thinking of those guys that use the eagles to hunt. Falconers? No. Why is it the devil bird? It's hard to hunt. They live in super steep, rocky terrain. Chukar were given this nickname. A famous Chukar hunter.

Chukar were given this nickname because of what a hellish chase it is to kill one. They spend most of their time in steep, rocky country that resembles their native range. Chukka were introduced to the U.S. from Pakistan in 1893. Spencer, I just thought it was too easy because Randall got it right. Okay. And nobody else got it right. I liked that one because I got it right and I learned something.

Oh, what'd you learn? I didn't know the bird's origins. Yeah. I just knew the devil bird. Thank you, Spencer. I appreciate that one because I got it right and I learned something. Oh, what'd you learn? I didn't know the bird's origins. I just knew the devil bird. Thank you, Spencer. I appreciate that. And Brody was right. They live in such hellish country. Or heavenly, depending on who you are.

Question five. Wow. Question five. The topic is cooking. There was a divine little voice there that said, wow, was that Phil? Was that you? That was me. Nice. Okay. Question five. The topic is cooking. There was a divine little voice there that said, wow, was that Phil? Is that you? Question five, the topic is cooking. According to Southern

Living Magazine, the role of this specific ingredient is the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya. According to Southern Living Magazine, the role of this specific ingredient is the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya. Here, our Southern ignorance is showing the room is very slow to answer.

They know where Leech Lake is, but they don't know the difference between gumbo and jambalaya. Quick answer from Chester. Oh, but he's second guessing it. I've never even eaten either of them. Neither one, Tressa. Okay. Spencer, this is one that's just worded like

very difficult. I'll tell you how Southern Living Magazine says. They say the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya is, so this is worded like how they word it. Phil, what's the matter? All right. No, I don't want to be mean, but I just saw Chester's board,

and I thought it was funny. What? No, Bill, read it again. Bill, that, in fact, is mean. You called attention to it. Hey, I mean, it again. Bill, that in fact is mean. You called attention to it. Hey, I mean, it is an ingredient. I think they use it in it. Read it again.

According to Southern Living Magazine, their version, the role of this specific ingredient is the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya. I don't have the quote in front of me, Brody, but the way they word it is they say the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya is, and it's the use of this ingredient. What do you got, Randall? Well, so is it the use or the role?

Yeah, it's like, is it the ingredient? Is it the role of the ingredient? The answer of this question will be the ingredient. That's what I'm looking for. One ingredient. You have an ingredient that is in gumbo that's not in jambalaya or vice versa. I'm not telling you that part. I'm telling you the role of this ingredient.

Figure out the difference. So are you asking for the role of this ingredient? Your answer should be an ingredient just an ingredient if you thought the answer was mountain dew you would write mountain dew the question is it's completely flawed okay you've got it like so brody you're saying like let's just say it's apples like like you're saying well the apples the role of the apple would be different in the two dishes like in one it's like it's stewed for two hours. In the other one, it's sprinkled on top.

Like that's kind of what you're getting at. Like you're saying the roll versus the presence of the ingredient. Sure, I guess. Like it's just like very hard to get at it like the way it's worded, I feel like. You take it up with Southern Living Magazine. Do they? Oh, yeah. Southern Living Magazine. Southern Living.

Does everybody have an answer? You've had a lot of questions from Southern Living, I feel like. That's not true. Maybe here and there. This is some Northern Ignorance. Again, is everybody ready? Brody? Yeah.

What do you got, Chester? I was just going to say, you throw this ingredient in there, and it plays a role in making it one or the other. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin saying flour, Roman saying catfish, Tressa saying sausage, Max saying shrimp, Randall saying andouille, Chester saying sausage, Brody saying water, nobody got it. The correct answer is rice.

Ooh. Both dishes have Creole and Cajun roots and similar ingredients. Gumbo is served with rice that's cooked separately, while jambalaya contains rice that's cooked in the same pot. Learn how to cook each of them. Check out Danielle Pruitt's rabbit gumbo recipe and Rick Matney's venison sausage and shrimp jambalaya recipe on TheMeatEater.com.

Rice is not an ingredient in gumbo. You make gumbo, then you serve it over rice. I think the question was fine. No way. No way. Well, the good news is. Rice is an ingredient in jambalaya. It's not an ingredient in gumbo.

The good news, nobody got it right, so we're not taking anything away from Brody if it is flawed. I would have never have put down rice because it's not an ingredient in gumbo. That's because you don't know the difference between gumbo and jambalaya. No, it's not an ingredient in gumbo. It is not.

Phil, we are halfway through our game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Bad. We've got Tressa with zero points on the board. Roman, Colin, Chester, and Max all have one point apiece. Brody has two, and Randall is in first place with

three points. There's still a chance. There is. But this is the Randall and Brody show. So thanks for inviting us, Spencer. God, that one's going to stay with me, Spencer. Brody's one question ahead of you, Matt. I know. I need another Minnesota question.

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 wildlife. This next great question comes to us via Ryan McCarty. This state's state land mammal is a whitetail. State water mammal is a dolphin. State fish is a largemouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck.

And state flower is a magnolia. You need to tell me what state this is. State land mammal is a whitetail. State water mammal is a dolphin. State fish is a largemouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck. State fish is a largemouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck. State flower is a magnolia. Max with the quickest answer.

Max, do you know this one? No, but I'm putting pieces together. Okay. I think I got it. In the meantime, I'm going to try to find Brody this quote from Southern Living Magazine. Dude, I don't care. Honestly. Okay.

When you make gumbo, rice is not an ingredient. You make the rice separately from the gumbo, then you put the gumbo on it. You could eat gumbo without rice. You're talking like when you make spaghetti, you make the gumbo on it. You could eat gumbo without rice. You're talking like when you make spaghetti, you make the noodles separate. No, you can make a pot of gumbo and not eat it with rice. It's still gumbo.

Here's the quote from the magazine. The main difference between the two is the role of the rice, which is integral in both. Gumbo is served with rice that's cooked separately, but rice goes into the jambalaya pot. Yeah, you just made that point. I don't know.

I'm kind of on Team Brody here. Oh, no, Phil. The rice is optional in gumbo. You have it on the side or you don't have it at all. It's not really any part of the dish. Moving on. That's just my opinion. Moving on.

Here's this question one more time. This state's state land mammal is a whitetail. State water mammal is a dolphin. State fish is a largemouth. State waterfowl is a wood duck. And state flower is a magnolia. Does everybody have an answer? Pretty sure I know a state where there's all of those, so I'm going to put that down.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin saying Louisiana. Roman saying Florida. Tressa saying Texas. Max saying Florida We have Colin saying Louisiana. Roman saying Florida. Tressa saying Texas. Max saying Florida. Randall saying Louisiana. Chester saying Florida. Brody saying Georgia.

Nobody got it. The correct answer is Mississippi. One of the biggest hints from that list was the state flower being the magnolia because Mississippi is known as the magnolia state and has a magnolia on their flag. Some other official symbols are the state insect as a honeybee, state reptile as a gator, state shell as an oyster, and state bird as a mockingbird. Question seven. We have a couple zero percenters in this episode. A handful.

I love when you're so confident. Bad for me. And then just, boom, bad on me. Question seven. The topic is camping. What lemongrass oil is often turned into candles and burned in lanterns as a way to keep away bugs?

Half the room is very confident. What lemongrass oil is often turned into candles And burned in lanterns As a way to keep away bugs Six questions through this episode I've not done a very good job I'll admit it Had the flawed southern living question

We have a couple zero percenters I think it's fine Don't beat yourself up too much Spencer But you know You could be doing a better job percenters, which isn't... I think it's fine. It's not fun. Don't beat yourself up too much, Spencer. But, you know, you could be doing a better job. Listen, I'll admit, this hasn't been great. Too many zero percenters.

The flawed Southern Living question. We'll see how the room does with this one. I think the benchmark for a good game of trivia is who wins. And so we haven't gotten to that point yet. Sure. Where would it rank if like

Tressa won, for example? Oh, that would be fabulous. The best episode. Yeah. I loved the episode where Max won. That was a great episode. That was great. You can see his eyes twinkling with pride over there.

I'm not going to win this one, though. The mosquito question. There is the headwaters of the Mississippi question. That was a great episode. Randall, what is wrong with you? You memorize every question. This is all I have. I thought I've made that clear.

Here's the question one more time. The topic is camping. What lemongrass oil is often turned into candles and burned in lanterns as a way to keep away bugs? Is everybody ready? I spelled it wrong, but. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin without an answer. Roman without an answer.

Then we have Tressa and Max and Randall all saying citronella. Chester, do you have an answer? Chester without an answer. Brody saying citronella. They got it. The correct answer is citronella. If you did want to spell it as C-I-T-R-O-N-E-L-L-A. Citronella oil is also common in soaps, perfumes, and lotions.

It's been registered as an insect repellent in the United States since 1948. Although it does deter mosquitoes, science has shown that it's not very effective in candle form. One study from 2017 said a citronella candle's protection is no better than no protection at all. Hey, Max, can you plug your mic cable back in really quick, please? Microphone cable. It popped out. Is that why it got fuzzy for a sec? Thank you. Oh. Question eight. The topic is fishing. What is the anatomical name for a fish's tail fin? What is the anatomical name for a fish's tail fin? Context would tell me you're not looking for tail fin.

Tail fin would be incorrect. Looking for the other name for a tail fin. Should be its anatomical name. What is the anatomical name for a fish's tail fin? Should know this one too. I named about four others. Okay. Yeah, you just got to start listing them in your head and hope you come up with them.

Confident. The room is leaking confidence at this point. No one looks sure. What was the Shelby index? A four. This is question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

What is the anatomical name for a fish's tail fin? Brody, how do you feel about your answer? Man, I don't know. Not good. Got a chance. Okay. I think you're one of the only people to come up with an answer. Tressa, do you have an answer?

I do, but I don't chance. Okay. I think you're one of the only people to come up with an answer. Tressa, do you have an answer? I do, but I don't know. Okay. Randall, do you have a guess? I have some fins, but I don't have this one. Okay. Remember that Jimmy Buffett song, Fins? Yeah. No.

It's a great song about a girl getting hit on too much in a bar or in a town. Good old Jimmy Buffettett he liked the angle he loved montana he did i just some people say that cheeseburger in paradise was about paradise valley and then i think he set the record straight i don't know maybe like 15 years ago and said i think it was about being in the Caribbean and finally finding a place that sold a burger that was beef instead of whatever mystery meat or horse that they had. I don't think Jimmy Buffett was eating a lot of horse burgers, Spencer.

That's why it was a cheeseburger in paradise when he found a beef patty somewhere in paradise. I spent some time in the Caribbean myself. Did you struggle to find beef patties? No, but you know, maybe back in the day, horse was a thing. I'm not sure. Does everyone have an answer for the anatomical name for a fish's

tail fin? Ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Colin without an answer. Roman without an answer. Tressa saying adipose. Max saying which one? Dorsal, pectoral, alboposal. You get it wrong. Randall without an answer.

Chester without an answer. Brody saying coddle. Brody got it. The correct answer was coddle. That was one of the ones I was thinking of and ruled out. Coddle is derived from a Latin word that means, quote, near the tail. Some of the ways that coddle fins can be categorized are rounded, like snakehead,

forked, like whitefish, truncated, like salmon, or lunate, like tuna. That was a great question, Spencer. Everyone else got it wrong. Phil, we have two questions left. Where does the scoreboard stand? Well, we've got
