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 Brody Henderson, Giannis Poutelis, Ryan Callahan, Randall Williams, Chester Floyd, Tressa Croker, and Reva Hansen. Reva, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater. I edit some podcasts.

Which ones? Country Life, Cutting the Distance, Wired to Hunt, Foundations, Bear Grease Render. And how do you feel about your chances at Meat Eater Trivia? Pretty much all of them besides Meat Eater and Trivia. How do you feel about your chances at Meat Eater Trivia?

Not great. Okay. What do you know about this show? Anything? Uh, a little. Okay. Reva, your name came up a lot on the live tour when we were passing through Iowa. We were talking that you own a farm there that may or may not have pheasants and deer. Yes, I do personally. Yeah, well, good for us because we were competing for who would get permission from Reva.

I think I won, but now I just got to ask you for permission. No, she said I could. Steve feels like you've got it all locked up. I'm like, really? You? That's unusual. Mr. Helicopter guy? Like you need another hunting spot.

Reva, when Steve asks you, you just tell him no. That's it. Tell him we actually don't let anybody hunt. I'll tell him it's claimed. There you go. That's a good answer. Now this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will

donate $500 to a conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're updating our donation tracker in the history of Meat E trivia we've now donated over eighty thousand dollars to conservation organizations that breaks down to us forty three thousand dollars from the podcast twenty thousand dollars from board game sales and twenty thousand dollars from the meat eater live tour as a reminder we're donating one dollar per board game to conservation projects and the board game is officially sold out and that meat eater live tour number is so big because our friends at onyx made a twenty five hundred dollar donation on behalf of the trivia winner at each stop eighty thousand dollars well done

here's our zero percenter question of the week which came from the meat eater live tour this question was from the pittsburgh stop the topic was hunting and it was the only question of the week, which came from the Meat Eater live tour. This question was from the Pittsburgh stop. The topic was hunting, and it was the only question on the entire live tour that nobody got right. Yanni and Cal, you keep to yourselves. We'll see if our other players can get this right. Which of these birds do Pennsylvania hunters harvest the least of? Is it pheasants, turkeys, doves, or Canada geese? Brody, as our player in the room from Pennsylvania, tell me which of these birds do Pennsylvania.

What are my choices again? Which do they harvest the least of? Pheasants, turkeys, doves, Canada geese. This was the only question. Pheasants. From all eight stops. That's incorrect. Geese.

That's incorrect. Turkeys. Doves. That's incorrect. Turkeys. Doves. That's incorrect. Randall got it. The correct answer is turkeys. It's estimated that PA hunters kill about 100,000 geese, doves, and pheasants each year while only killing 28,000 turkeys.

You know, there's a caveat to that. Okay. Fill us in. Oh, you don't like that the pheasants are stocked? All the pheasants getting killed in Pennsylvania are stocked. They're still killed by Pennsylvania hunters, bro. They don't really count, though. I don't think this counts at all because he says

100,000, 100,000, 100,000. That's what he's doing. I'm doing some editorializing there. The numbers were like 110, 97,000, 107,000. Just for cleanliness, Cal, I made it 100,000 for each. I mean, I'm not knocking Pennsylvania. Oh, it sounds like it. That show, though, that was a rough one for me.

What was rough for you, Chester? My joke. Chester, try it out here. Tell folks what happened. Oh, well, I showed up on stage to sing my song, and I said, I walked out there, and I said. Go before that, though. Tell folks what happened backstage, how you got to that part. Well, I told a joke downstairs, and everyone laughed.

And I was like, wow, that's unusual for my jokes. A really hard belly laugh. It was 100% approval rating for Chester. I didn't say anything, but in the back of my mind, I was like, I'm going to gonna say this while i walk out on stage walk out there all proud of my joke and i go so uh i heard there were a bunch of stealers around here when i got off the bus so i ran back and locked the door and crickets Crickets Yeah But it was because of the timing When he said the punchline The crowd was still reacting

To what he had first said That's funny Chester took another stab at it later in the show When he came out to give a scoreboard update For trivia and it crushed It was the biggest laugh we got all night Made fun of myself a little bit That's fantastic.

It worked. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous episode of Trivia, we had a question about the only cavity nesting duck that lays two broods per year in North America. The correct answer was wood duck, which is a fact that was stated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. But a few listeners wrote in saying that black-bellied whistling ducks will also produce two broods per year and are cavity nesters. This was verified by a 2012 paper in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology, which observed double broods in Texas. So if you said black-bellied whistling duck for that answer, you'd also be correct.

Nobody on our show did, though though so it doesn't change the outcome of the game it's a duck i never even heard of cal are you familiar with the black bellied whistling i thought that's uh uh invasive species i don't know about that i feel like they're uh they're more common in like central america but they do come up into louisiana and texas are there any um they're expanding their range. Must be. Different names for them. Like, you know, in certain regions, they'll nickname ducks. Being around people who hunt ducks in Louisiana,

they'd call them a black duck. Mm. Because that's what they call all ducks. Unless it's a mallard. Yeah, exactly. Ah, it's a black duck. Also, in a previous game of trivia, we had a question about the national park that's home mallard. Yeah, exactly. That's a black duck. Also, in a previous game of trivia, we had a question about the national park that's home to El Capitan.

The correct answer was Yosemite, but about a dozen listeners wrote in saying that Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas also has a mountain named El Capitan. So if you said that is your answer, it would also be correct. Again, no one on our show did, so it wouldn't change the outcome of the game. Now, the Shelby Index for this episode 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 need to know what I stand to win to everything. Just whatever. How's that? Just tend to win everything just whenever how's that just tend to win everything game on suckers phil i'll tell you that our intro has never sounded better than being played in a theater that uh that who wants i'm glad you brought that up because i thought the same thing too

first time i heard it echoing. It's cool. It's a lot of fun. Question one. The topic is ecology and this is multiple choice. Which of these states is not part of the Mississippi River watershed? Is it Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, or West Virginia? Which of these states is not part of the Mississippi River watershed? Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, or West Virginia? Randall wrote down an answer before Cal even picked up his board.

Randall, do you know this one? I feel pretty confident about this one, Spencer. Yanni, how about you? I feel confident as well. Which of these states is not part of the Mississippi River watershed? Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, or West Virginia? Is everybody ready? Reva, how's your geography?

I don't know. We're about to find out. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Utah. Cal saying Utah. Chester saying Texas. Brody saying Utah.

Reva saying Utah. Tressa saying West Virginia. Giannis saying Utah. The correct answer is Utah. The room did very well. Wisconsin borders the Mississippi River. Texas is connected to it via the Red River And West Virginia is connected to it via the Ohio River

The closest the Mississippi River watershed comes to Utah Is about 100 miles to the northeast in Wyoming Really quick, my marker wasn't working Tressa and Giannis, did you get that right or wrong? No No, no? Yeah Thank you

I got it, I got it. I got it right. Got that, Randall. Thanks, bud. Appreciate it. If you look at a map of the Mississippi River watershed, it is powerful. Damn near the whole continent. Just drains out down there in some way or another.

Question two. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Tyler McFarland. via tyler mcfarland elvers which sometimes cost more than two thousand dollars per pound are the juvenile form of this animal again the topic is cooking elvers that's spelled e l v e r s which sometimes cost more than two thousand dollars per pound are the juvenile form of this animal. I don't know what's going on with me, Spencer. Trivia? I feel like I used to do okay.

Now I just... Well, you just got Utah right. Oh, you got tech. No, I got it wrong. Yeah, that's right. Never mind. Never mind. Just question two, Chester.

Well, you can feel good about being right about being bad. Yeah. You're right about something. Well, you can feel good about being right about being bad. Yeah. You're right about something. Yeah, that's true. Elvers, which sometimes cost more than $2,000 per pound, are the juvenile form of this animal. The room looks stumped. Major black market trade going on here.

Okay, there's a hint. I'm not stumped. Brody knows it. Cal appears to know it. Tressa, do you have an answer? Blind guess. Okay. I think they might...

I think there's a reason why they might be stumped. That's enough of a hint from Cal. Another hint from Brody. Elvers, which sometimes cost more than $2,000 per pound, are the juvenile form of this animal. Cal, you don't have to answer this

because it'd be giving a hint to the room, but have you eaten these before? No. Okay. No. Would you like to? Oh, Brody, what's your problem with his answer? I'll answer that later.

Brody, you would prefer to not help out the room a lot of hints here being thrown around for what's on the board Brody and Randall are still the only ones who are confident not me alright let's wrap her up

somebody was 10 minutes late Cal and Brody are the only confident ones Yanni coming up with an answer Is this Yannis' one Thing where he gets to drag the answer out For a few extra minutes If I see his marker on the board We'll let him finish writing

Yanni I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying to come up with just something And Running out of time. Come up with just something. And it's an animal. But how close am I? We're being very precise here. Not good. Juvenile form of this animal.

Brody does not approve of Reva's answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying eels. Cal saying eels. Chester saying whales. Brody saying eels, Reva saying reindeer, Trusser saying lobster, Giannis saying sturgeon. The correct answer is eels. Brody, Randall, and Cal got it right. So he's kind of eaten them.

Oh, explain. Well, I've eaten the adults. Oh, sure. Well, I've eaten the adult. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be like asking someone, though, if they've had caviar, I think. And they'd be like, no. And you'd be like, yeah, but you've eaten adult salmon.

No. No, not the same thing? No, it'd be like eating a small perch or a big perch. Elvers are also referred to as glass eels because of how transparent they are as juveniles. Elvers are typically collected with dip nets or baited traps and are usually fried in olive oil. Anglers in Maine harvested about 9,000 pounds of elvers in 2021. They export a lot of those things to Japan. Yeah, I think they go across the ocean.

In the last few years, there's been some black market busts for those, haven't there? Yeah. Tons. And there's actually a lawsuit going on right now against the, uh, Nova Scotia province of Nova Scotia for not enforcing enough. Cause I think there's some, um, indigenous

groups too, that have like harvest rights and stuff like that, that are getting impacted, but like all sorts of nasty stuff like, uh, shootings and. Where do you guys get your information from? The news. Yeah.

Well, it's also, um, like American eels are like doing very well in some spots and then they're like endangered a few hundred miles away yeah two thousand dollars a pound is gonna create a black market question three the topic is hunting how many mass measurements are taken when scoring a white tail buck antler how many mass measurements are taken when scoring a whitetail buck antler?

This is question three. The topic is hunting. Chester, have you ever scored a whitetail buck? Just did the other day. Okay. You should be at an advantage here. I did it with a buddy, so I technically. Okay.

You were a witness. I have been there, but if somebody were to ask me to score a whitetail by myself right now without looking it up, it would be probably incorrect. That's how all measurements are. However, I will add this. They asked me what the score of the buck was, and I said it, and it was dead nuts right now. Yep. That's great, Chester. It was 132

inches. And how many eighths? I mean, probably closer to 133 inches. Chester, you work on coming up with an answer here. Spencer really prides himself on field guessing.

Yeah, Cal showed me a picture of an enormous whitetail that he killed, and I guessed it right on the nose. Hmm. Yanni, when's the last time you scored a whitetail buck? I don't know. A year or two, maybe. How many mass measurements are taken when scoring a whitetail buck antler?

Does everybody have an answer? Chester? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying eight. Cal saying four. Chester saying four. Brody saying four. Reva saying three.

Tressa saying three. Giannis saying four. The correct answer is four No I thought Randall should get it Randall well I said a whitetail buck antler One of them It was very specific A whitetail buck antler

I thought we were all going to get it wrong And he was going to get it right You doubled the measurement I would say did you But then it's divided by two Were you thinking You just divided divided by two, right? Were you thinking what we were thinking? You just divided it by two? Sorry, Randall.

I was thinking about scoring a whitetail buck. A whitetail buck antler. Man, I'd almost get it. It's phrased that way. Now, Spencer. What do you guys think? Spencer, what is Randall so full of shit? I'll tell you this, Randall.

When I wrote the question... I mean, how on earth would I possibly think that you'd measure one antler? Well, you could score a shed. You'd take, no, but taking eight measurements on one antler. Dr. Randall Williams' brain moves so fast. Spencer, I think you should have worded it what is the maximum

number of mass measurements you could take. I almost worded it. Because what if you shoot a little dinker? Well, I'll explain it to you, Brody. Regardless of how many points a deer has, whether it's a spike or a six by six, you take four mass measurements. How do you take four on a spike? This can get confusing on eight pointers after the third mass measurement is taken. The rule for getting the final measurement on an eight-pointer is you measure the antler circumference at the spot that is exactly halfway between the G3 and the end of the main beam.

So regardless of if it's the dust and Huff buck or a little tiny spike, you take four mass measurements. I remember that next spike I should. Randall, I don't think we're going to give it to you. I mean, I feel like of all the exceptions that we've made over the years. Yanni, who got it right? Yanni, Brody, Chester, and Cal. What do you guys think?

There's four of you. What do you think? Well, considering Randall's competitive, I would give it to him. Chester says give it to him. Cal? It's the only game where conservation always wins. Yeah. Give it to him. Okay. I think he knew what he was doing. Okay. We're going to give it to him. Chester says give it to him. Cal? It's the only game where conservation always wins. Yeah. Give it to him.

Okay. I think he knew what he was doing. Okay. We're going to give it to him. Thank you, guys. He gets it right. I mean, the question was stated pretty clearly. But I was doing like a beautiful mind math in my head.

I was watching the tape wrap around the antlers. Well, let's bring it in and focus for the next question. I'm so happy right now. Question four. Christmas come early. Question four. The topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by James

Arnold for sending this great question. James is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. CITES stands for, quote, the Convention on International Blank in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. CITES, that's C-I-T-E-S.

CITES stands for, quote, the Convention on International Blank in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. I was driving back from guiding up in B.C. and I was able to take a bunch of unwanted moose meat home, which meant a great deal to me at that point. Now, are you going to give away the answer here with the rest of your banter? I think you'll have to tell me. There's a lot of borderline banter today.

And I got stopped at the border just hours from home. Okay. And. By Canadians? Yes. Okay. Told to turn her out. That's kind of...

Because I didn't have my CITES paperwork, and I was out of gas, because fuel in Canada is real expensive. Okay. I was like, well, I was planning on fueling up over here, and the only gas station on the Canadian side is closed right now. Mm-hmm. And the guy's like, oh, yeah, they'll open at like 10 a.m. or whatever. This sounds like the start of a movie. I'm fueling up over here and the only gas station on the Canadian side is closed right now.

And the guy's like, oh yeah, they'll open at like 10 a.m. or whatever. This sounds like the start of a movie. So I turned around, sat in that parking lot, fueled up, and eventually just came to the conclusion that when they ask me if I have anything that I'm taking back to the States, I'm going to say no. And that's what I did, and I got to eat moose meat. And now you host a conservation podcast. Yes, that's correct. Well, there's folks who want to do harm out there, and I wasn't one of them. Here's the question one more time. CITES stands for, quote,

the Convention on International Blank in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Does everybody have an answer? Tressa? I give up. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying trade.

Cal saying trade. Chester saying trade. Brody saying trafficking. Reva saying trade. Tressa without an answer. Yanni saying trade. Brody saying trafficking. Reva saying trade. Tressa without an answer. Yanni saying trade. The correct answer is trade. Brody and Tressa got it wrong.

CITES is an international agreement between 80 countries. It was formed in Washington, D.C. in 1973. It was created to ensure that international trade of plants and animals wouldn't threaten the survival of vulnerable species. I'm watching Beautiful Mind over here mark up his board. Are you keeping score now for Phil? No, no, I'm losing my juice. Okay. I want to make sure my answers are legible.

Well, if you wrote four instead of eight, you'd have more juice. That's right. Question five. The topic is public lands. What state is home to the Poconos Mountains? This is question five. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. What state is home to the Poconos Mountains?

Brody confident. Randall is confident. Chester and Cal thinking hard. Got Yanni writing down an answer. Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? You know, it's just, I think it was a homunculus answer. Okay. It just popped in there.

You don't think you've been to this place? I definitely have not. Okay. there's a hint what state is home to the poconos mountains if i could list out all the places that yanni's been that would be you're on the tour bus last week uh at about two o'clock one morning uh we had the map on and the, and we went through and marked every single state that everybody's been to. Yanni's been to what, like 40 of them? Yeah. Doing well. I'm either missing, I forget if it was 10 or 12 I was missing. Honestly, I had higher expectations for you, Yanni.

I thought your number would be upper 40s. Are you counting layovers? No, no, no, no, no. Just having been in the state? Spending the night there? Yeah, like driving through it. That'd be good enough. Does everybody have an answer?

What state is home to the Poconos Mountains? It's such a, you know, all those states, they just get together and touch over there. Over where? That part of the world. Okay. Is everybody ready? Reva?

Tressa? Inti hints. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Pennsylvania. Cal saying New Jersey. Chester saying Pennsylvania. Brody saying Pennsylvania. Reva saying Wyoming.

Tressa saying Tennessee. Yanni saying Maine. The correct answer is Pennsylvania. Son of a gun. They don't squirt up into New York a little bit? Not according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is a hard line that

ends at the border. The Poconos are in northeast Pennsylvania on the border of New York and New Jersey. The area is known for its flat-topped mountains that max out at about 2,600 feet above sea level, the Poconos have a rich history of skiing, hunting, and fishing.

Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Yes, we have Tressa holding up the end of the carts there with zero points. Riva has two. Giannis and Chester have three points apiece. Cal and Brody have four. Do I have that right? I do.

And then in first place, you gave him the point. Wow. And now he's got a perfect game. It's Randall Williams with five points. Randall, how would you feel about it? I thought you missed one earlier. No. No.

Remember I had the eight, and that was correct. We determined that collectively. How would you feel about getting a perfect game if it comes with that question? Asterisk. Comes with eight perfect answers? What am I going to do? You know, walk away?

I don't know. Gift horse in the mouth, whatever the saying is. 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!

what movie that's from. Take it away, Phil. Cal likes what he sees. It is. Oh, man. That's a couple of folks that Chester helped to learn how to fish. Oh, I need the audio.

That's happened. I love just, like, the mix of fishing tackle that hat must be incredibly heavy describe what you're seeing there cal oh it's just some you know greatly removed from the outdoors producer type was like yeah fishing, fishing, totally got it. And so they're using fly rods, but. They're really breaking their wrist. Pauly Shore has like a bunch of soft plastic baits, SPBs, on his bucket hat, which would be very hip right now. Those two things don't go together.

They landed the fish in a tin pail yeah which goes hand very unconventional yeah to get this question right you need to tell me what movie that's from and if you want to see that one minute clip you can check this out on meat eaters youtube channel brody you were groaning at the start of this question but you were the first one to answer it do you have this right i only know oneaning at the start of this question, but you were the first one to answer it. Do you have this right? I only know one movie that, the title of one movie he was in. Okay. In the Army Now.

Bio-Doc? Again here, you guys are helping out folks by getting rid of movies from the 90s. Well, I don't think anybody has an exhaustive list of Pauly Shore vehicles. You act like you've been wheezing the juice. It's not a goofy movie. Leaning Tower of Cheese.

What were you doing in 93? Wait, he was in the goofy movie? Yeah, he plays like the stoner friend or whatever. Oh, I didn't know that. Same. There's a goofy movie? Oh, and there's an extremely goofy movie, Randall. You feel like prime age to know the goofy movie, Randall.

No? No, my earliest memory of cinema is just going to see Jurassic Park in the theaters ten times. Does everybody have an answer? No, but I'm not going to.

This seems to have a gender dividing line. For growing up on the farm, this is like it would help you with all sorts of efficiencies. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying, what's that say?

Encino man. Cal saying son-in-law. Chester saying caddyshack. Brody saying encino man. Re, and Tressa without an answer. Revis has a six on her board. Yanni saying no idea. Cal got it. The correct answer is son-in-law.

Despite the green grass and foliage in that scene, the movie was supposed to take place in South Dakota during the week of Thanksgiving. The comedy received a 21% from critics according to Rotten Tomatoes. A lot of people didn't think it would take home the Oscar that year but they showed them. They showed them. Question seven. The topic is

cooking. Phil, do you like Son-in-Law? That seems like a movie. Are you kidding me? It was wonderful. Question seven. Wonderfully absurd absurd the topic is cooking place these in order of most widely produced to least widely produced in america white onions yellow onions red onions place these in order of most widely produced to least widely produced in america that's two in a row that have nothing to do with the four verticals white onions yellow onions red onions i sure you i love onions i use a lot of onions this is the uh i'll tell you exactly commerce the order in

which i use these and how frequently. White onions, yellow onions, red onions. Place them from most widely produced to least widely produced. Tacos, bratwurst, pizza. A lot of ways you can come about this. I think if you're a strong at-home chef, Brody, this is a question that you would know well. I feel like this fits firmly in our cooking category. Is the relative quantity of each in your average grocery store produce section representative of... Not going to help you out there.

That's what I was trying to visualize. White onions. That's the beautiful mind in action right there. White onions, yellow onions, red onions. The answer's not six. This is question seven Does everybody have an answer? Does anybody feel good about their answer?

Yeah I got this one Go ahead and reveal your answers We have Randall saying Yellow, white, red Cal saying White, yellow, red Chester saying yellow, white, red Brody saying Yellow, yellow, red. Chester saying yellow, white, red. Brody saying

yellow, onion, red. That's white. Trust me. I trust him. Yellow, white, red. I thought you were making a claim that yellow and red onions weren't actual onions. Reva

saying yellow, white, red onions. Reva saying yellow, white, red. Tressa saying yellow, white, red. Yanni saying yellow, red, white. Only one right answer in the room. Son of a gun. The correct answer the correct answer

was given by Yanni. It's yellow, red, white. No shit. According to the National Onion Association, 87% of the U.S. onion crop is yellow, 8% is red, and 5% is white.

They say white onions are best for Mexican food, red onions are best for sandwiches and salads, and yellow onions are what you can use for everything else. What's your favorite, Spencer? Favorite? Probably the red onion. There's that pretty purple-yellow color.

That's why they like them for sandwiches and salads, because you really get the aesthetic. Throw them in some vinegar. The National Onion Association. The National Onion Association. Maybe we'll donate to them. That's the other A. The other Noah. He's going to say Noah.

Big onion. Question eight. The topic is gear. The other Noah Big onion Question 8 The topic is gear This brand which is known for their Hand and toe warmers that come in Orange and yellow packaging Was founded in 1989 God I hate these things

The topic is gear Why because it's just trash It's like hey here's trash You don't trash. It's like, hey, here's trash. You don't have kids. It's wrapped in trash. And you buy it, and it's instantly trash. This brand, which is known for their hand and toe warmers that come in orange and yellow packaging, was founded in 1989. Randall knows this one.

Brody appears to. I didn't say that. Brody, you know this one? Brody appears to. I didn't say that. Brody, you know this one? I have a guess. I think so. When's the last time you bought these things? I bought a mega pack at Costco a couple years ago. Still got a bunch left.

I should know this, but I don't. Being from Wisconsin, I think you should. You should know this. I mean, kids like to use them when they go skiing. I've bought a million packs of them. I put these right up there with balloons. This brand, which is known for their hand and toe warmers that come in orange and yellow packaging, was founded in 1989. I feel like there's a real white space for someone to improve upon the product and make it environmentally friendly.

Right? Yeah. It should be something that you could just leave in the woods and it would just dissipate. Yeah. You can't leave these in the woods. Yeah. Randall just learned you can't leave balloons out there either. No.

You are from Ohio and Ohio had the Cleveland Balloon Fest. Southern Ohio though. Checks out Fest. Southern Ohio, though. Checks out. A mistake by the lake is what we like to call Cleveland. Gal, last minute addition I see to your answer. What do you think he did there, Yanni? I don't know. I'm highly anticipating.

He added an exclamation point to trash. Does everybody have an answer? Warm balloons. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying hot hands. Cal saying eight. Chester saying hot hands. Brody saying

hot hands. Reva saying hot hands. Tress is saying Myers. Giannis saying hot hands. They got it. The correct answer is hot hands. That's a good one randall hot hands was created in georgia and is still made in america today they claim to be the top seller of air activated heat packs in the country some of their products can reach up to 180 degrees

fahrenheit they're just right behind get off your ass and walk around a little bit. Super effective. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a leaderboard update. Organizing by highest to lowest score. Here we are. Let's see. Chester, Riva, and Tressa, you have been. Oh, nope.

Sorry. Chester, you're still in the game. Riva and Tressa, you've been eliminated. I'm sorry. Chester, you have four points. Giannis, Cal, and Brody have five, and Randall is in first place still with six points. Man, still a tight game.

Two questions to go. We're having fun. I used to have a reusable version of this. Was it butane? No, it looked like a glasses case, like a hard case. And it had like a, forget what the, it must have been a fire retardant material on the inside, but you would light this

little stick. You would light it and then put it in there. That son of a bitch would burn you. That's why they're not around anymore. Zippo had one. There is one that used like fuel though, a metal case you dump in there. It looks like a flask. Zippo ones.

With those little, you can, some have coal, you can put hot coal in there. It looks like a flask. Yeah. Zippo ones. With those little... Some have coal. You can put hot coal in them. Everyone's got hot coal laying around. There's a tip-up trick that you can do. You can use those to keep your tip-ups from freezing over.

I have the electric ones. Those are probably the worst. Question nine. The topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Jared Getz. Name two of the three states that are part of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. I feel like that one. Name two of the three states that are part of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. It's no Steelers breaking into the back of a theater, but it's close.

That's right. Brody and Randall are confident. Chester is joining them. Brody, you know this one. Could you name all three states? Randall, could you name all three states? I think so.

Name two of the three states that are part of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Reva, you grew up in hot hands country in Iowa. Is that something that you would get for Christmas every year? Oh, yeah. You would? What would you do with them? What were you wearing the

hot hands to do? Just be outside. I mean, we had animals wearing the hot hands to do? Just be outside. Okay. I mean, we had animals, so we had to do chores. But yeah, we played outside all the time. Plenty of hot hands. Brody, you giving some hot hands for Christmas this year? To Cal? No.

So can we write three down? No, just write down two, Chester. You will get it wrong if you write down three. You know what we got a lot? Hey, why are your hands in your pockets? Maybe you should work harder. There we go. We put them in our gloves.

We used to get that. It would be like the Boy Scout masters used to always say, if your hands are cold, put them in your pockets. But otherwise, out. We used to hate seeing us standing around with our hands in our pockets. That's right. Little Yanni over there ripping heaters on the side. You're right about that. With his left hand, is everybody ready?

Chester, you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Kentucky, Tennessee. Cal saying Tennessee, Arkansas. Chester saying Kentucky, Mississippi. Brody saying Tennessee, Arkansas. Chester saying Kentucky, Mississippi. Brody saying Tennessee, Virginia. Reva saying Kentucky, Tennessee.

Tressa saying Kansas. Giannis saying Kentucky, Tennessee. The three states are Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Wow. Yeah, Reva? Yeah. Not half the room got that right. Ouch. I have long hunters to thank for that one.

That came up in there, huh? Yeah, a lot of Daniel Boone talk, I suppose. Yep, you'll have to get the audio original to find out why. That's a good tease, Reva. The Cumberland Gap National Historical Park straddles the border of these three states. The point

at which they meet is the Tri-State Peak Trail, which is accessible via a 1.25-mile hike at 24,000 acres. This is one of the largest national historical parks in the nation. Phil, we have one question left. Who is left in the game? It's down to Randall, Brody, and Giannis. Brody and Giannis have six points, and Randall has seven. Question 10.

Hold on, Randall. He kind of has seven. Yeah. You did? I had the same answer as you. You did? Yes. Yeah, I guess you did.

So skeptical, yeah. Question 10. The topic is conservation. What is the name of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation magazine? Randall is going to his whiteboard with confidence. Randall is going to win. Nice way just to finish it off with a freebie.

It depends on how up to date he is. They just changed it. What is the name of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation magazine? Randall. I like that move, Cal. That's good. That's good. He's okay.

He's okay. Topic was conservation. What's the name of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation magazine? Looks like Randall, Cal, Brody, and Yanni will get this right you need to anticipate close games at the end of the game i feel like this this was a question i thought most of the time i hate it when this happens just a just a week's a week fastball right down the

middle because you have to be a member to get this magazine which i feel like implies a a uh it really cuts out some folks. Or you have to go to the dentist in the Rocky Mountain West. Exactly. Walking to somebody's bathroom. Does everybody have an answer? Chester?

Actually, I don't see that around very much anymore. It used to be like a stack of magazines on everybody's toilet. We got phones now. Is everybody ready? Chester. I'm trying to figure out how to spell the dang thing. I don't think you have it right.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying bugle. Cal saying bugle. Chester. What do you got, Chester? Nothing. Bugle. Cal saying Bugle. Chester, what do you got, Chester? Nothing. Bugle. Brody saying Bugle.

Reba saying RMEF Weekly. Tressa saying Mountain Magazine. Yanni saying Bugle. The correct answer is Bugle. Bugle has been around since 1984. It publishes six times a year for RMEF members. The magazine covers elk hunting stories, tips, gear, and conservation. They encourage their members to send them elk hunting stories for publication at rmef.org.

That's where Giannis' favorite gun writer writes. Really? Who's that? Wayne Vansville. You've never heard Steve call Giannis Yanni Vanswole? Oh, I didn't understand the reference, I guess. Randall is our winner with eight correct answers. Lucky number eight today.

Yeah. If only they didn't give you that point, Randall. That was quite generous of them. We might be going to a tiebreaker. Yeah. Well, they can take it back. Could we play a tiebreaker just to see if I'd win? I'm only joking. Let's just see.

Randall, what happens next is you get to choose where the $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. What's it going to be? You know, I'd like my donation to go to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. A common staple for Randall. What do you like about them?

They just do great work. I've been doing a lot of advocacy around the Ambler Road controversy and comment period, which is ongoing. And, you know, it's been a while since I've won, and I've just got to get back to the basics. So I'm trying to, you know, recenter myself on what seems to be a winning formula at one point in time.

So it's more about you. Yeah, no. I am the main character in my story. Well done, Rand. Only a little controversy in this victory. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

We should play that Cumberland Gap. It's the devil of a gap. That's what the scouts all tell ya. Are we still rolling? Yeah, we got that. Are you still enjoying your hollow victory? Cut.

Here's the thing, Brody. He may have won, but this is going to follow him home. Cut, please, Phil.
