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, Christine Sawicki, Corey Calkins, and Alyssa Smith.

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. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're updating our total win counter, which we haven't revisited in months. Brody has a demanding lead with 27 career wins. Demanding? Demanding. That's followed by Steve with 19.

It could be both. It could be demanding and commanding. I'm not going to. Sure. That's followed by Steve Rinell with 19, Giannis Poutelis with 12, Randall Williams with 8, Ryan Callahan with 5, and Clay Newcomb with 4. The other 18 wins come from other crew members,

crew members, family members, and meat-eater guests. Does that 8 of Randall's include an asterisk? No, it includes the last episode, though. Really? Mm-hmm. And we had some controversy on the last episode where the players in the room had to vote on if Randall would get it right.

Here was the cool thing about the live tour, Randall. If we had any controversy, which Steve would manage to create every now and then, we could just throw it out to the thousand people in the audience. Oh, I like that. And be like, what do you guys think? Does Steve get this right? Listen to the voice of the people.

And then they would boo. They would really give him a hearty boo. Let me tell you, your little eight would not have flown in most, maybe in Davenport, Iowa, but the other seven stops. Cleveland. He's from Ohio, the Cleveland crowd. Well, I don't think the players should decide. I think Bill should.

I just would like to point out that the rest of the people in the room unanimously consented to awarding me that point. But Brody's rethinking it. And here we are today. You know what was funny about live tour trivia is the folks that you know well, everybody knows well, they all still put their names on top of the board which i was wondering if that's just kind of how they get focused like yannis is over there really well i prefer it really making sure nobody's confused i'd prefer you write your name on your board count that way i can just look at the whiteboards when i go around the room yannis is making a very strong statement this game bold that just that just benefits me now traditionally

at this point in the show we do a zero percenter question but it's a new year here on trivia so we are going to replace this segment with something else oh my here's what we're going to do if you have a question for the crew in regards to trivia like maybe you want to know phil's pre-show routine or maybe you want to know how Brody got so darn good at trivia, or maybe you want to know if Cal even likes being here. Whatever your curiosity is, send an email to trivia at themeateater.com with the subject line FAQ, and we will start answering some of those questions at the top of the show. That's trivia at themeMeatEater.com with the subject line FAQ. We will start that new segment next week. Now we have some housekeeping to get to. Since the inception of trivia,

I've referred to the information I read after each question as the follow-up factoid. But at the Detroit stop on the Meat Eater live tour, Billy Hoffman told me that this has a real name and it's not the follow-up factoid. According to Billy, and I've confirmed this with some Googling, the trivia community refers to that as flavor text. TVTropes.com says that flavor text is a vital part of video games, board games, and of course, trivia. They define flavor text as being, quote, any text in a game that is completely unrelated to the actual rules or gameplay and is included merely for effect. So going forward, we'll be referring to those snippets as flavor text.

I'm sorry, I don't like it. Yeah, why do you want to be like everyone else? Quick veto. Quick veto. I like the alliteration of all of factoid. Is this right now flavor text? Are we flavor texting? Well, not yet. I like flavor text.

It's like a... Kind of like flavor town. There you go. Guy Fieri. What did you say, Chester? Kind of like flavor town. He's got Fieri on the brain. Also, Phil, it's not... The kingdom of Guy Fieri? The factoid thing has been flawed from the beginning because I think someone told me factoid means that it's like

only not really a fact. It's just like sort of a belief or something. Yeah, that winds up. Kind of like a lot of the answers to these questions. Yeah. I think you should do a branded thing like Spencer shares or something like that. Oh, okay.

Maybe it's not flavor text. Maybe we'll have an update for you. What kind of conditioner are you using in your beard? No conditioner That's right Dare you say Now the Shelby Index for today's round is a 5 So I'm putting us on perfect score alert

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 How's that? I'm a head and shoulders guy. You know, I'm here to play two and one. I'm a little sucker for it.

Get it all done with one shot. Discounted. Game on, suckers! Not a high dollar, Brown. See, I've been playing a lot of Baldur's Gate 3, Spencer, and there's a lot of flavor text in that game. It's sort of like when you're going through a dungeon and you find just like a vase,

and you put your little cursor over it and it'll say something like this vase looks cracked and worn and is covered in a layer of dust and like I feel like your factoids are more than that. It's more than just like a description of something. You're adding to it. You're like can I smash somebody with this vase?

This vase looks cracked and worn. Is that right? Yeah. It's an incredible name. You know what we need to have a name for is whatever Cal adds to the drop that Phil plays. Because it doesn't matter. We can make a montage of Cal talking over the drop and it would be a couple minutes long. Yeah, it'd be a whole episode of whatever Cal has to add. He can't go that far.

Am I the only person who's heard the drop before? It's no longer interesting. It gets me psyched up, man. I love it. Question one. The topic is conservation. And this first great question comes to us via Tim Brown. Which of these agencies manages the most acres of land?

Is it the Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, or Army Corps of Engineers. Which of these agencies manages the most acres of land? The Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, or Army Corps of Engineers. Randall with a quick answer. Yall with a quick answer. Yanni with a quick answer. How do you boys feel about your answer? I feel pretty good. And, you know, the great thing is if I get it wrong, I'll learn something today.

Okay. You'll learn it in the flavor text. Yanni, you think you got this right? Go on with the gut. Which manages the most acres of land? Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Army Corps of Engineers. which manages the most acres of land bureau of reclamation national park service u.s forest service army corps of engineers does everybody have an answer go ahead and reveal your answers we have cal saying u.s forest service cal or excuse me randall saying u.s forest service cal

saying u.s forest service chester saying Forest Service. Corey saying Forest Service. Christine saying Forest Service. Alyssa saying Army Corps of Engineers. Brody saying Forest Service. Yanni saying Forest Service. They got it. The correct answer is the U.S. Forest Service. The Bureau of Reclamation manages 6.5 million acres, which is about the size of Massachusetts. The Army Corps manages 24 million acres, which is about the size of Indiana. The National Park Service manages 85 million acres, which is about the size of New Mexico. And the U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres, which is about the size of Texas. Question two. The topic is is cooking this spice comes in varieties such as sweet hot smoked hungarian and spanish topic is cooking this spice comes in varieties such as sweet hot smoked hungarian and spanish Brody is very confident.

Brody, you got this one right. Mm-hmm. One of my favorites. Oh, there's a hint if anyone knows Brody's kitchen preferences. Put it in everything. Really? I do, too. I feel like you can put a bunch of it in, and you're like, eh, couldn't tell.

Give us some hints here. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you're just buying bad quality stuff Cal Randall, do you boys agree? I feel like There's a big difference between Smoked and sweet That's true

The smoked The smoked has like a Smoky flavor You don't say And it's like triple the price it seems like. Does everybody have an answer? Mm-mm-mm. You know it, Alyssa.

This spice comes in varieties such as sweet, hot, smoked, Hungarian, and Spanish. Alyssa, I think we're waiting on you. Take your time. Yanni's the only one who ever gets impatient with these

things. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying paprika. Cal saying paprika. Chester saying paprika. Corey saying paprika. Christine saying paprika.

Alyssa Brody Yanni sang paprika. They got it. The correct answer is paprika. That was a 100%. Now this is going to be some flavor text. Good one, Randall. Paprika is created by grinding different types of dried chili peppers and sweet peppers, McCormick describes its flavor as, quote, the sweeter, gentler cousin of the hot chili pepper family. The spice is heavily utilized in Hungarian, Spanish, and other Central European recipes.

Sweeter, gentler, bland. I think you're just round. I think you're wrong. I think I'm catching strays over here. Well, it's like a lot of these hot peppers you just pick early when they're super watered down and they're not spicy. Also a great garnish, Yanni, that pretty red. I'll give it that. Question three.

The topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Jameson Teague. I'm going to dust up a couple of deviled eggs. Presenting this great question, Jameson 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. Sunflowers and milkweed are this type of plant, which also happens to be a business magazine

with the same name but different spelling. The topic is woodsmanship. Brody has an answer no one else does. Sunflowers and milkweed are this type of plant, which also happens to be a business magazine with the same name, but different spelling. Brody is still the only person who has an answer. Brody, you got this right with certainty. You know you got it?

If I don't, it's an extremely big coincidence. Okay. I had to come up with a very creative spelling of business weekly. Bloomberg? It's my favorite plant. Yanni, you got this one? I think so.

Now, wait a minute. Uh-oh. Is spelling important here? Spelling is not important. This one's going to... You could spell it like a biologist would, or you can spell it like the magazine does. Sunflowers and milkweed are this type of plant, which also happens to be a business magazine

with the same name but different spelling. Is everybody ready? Same sounding name. Shit. Cal, how many magazines are you subscribed to? Not that one. Not that one, no. No, I get the gift,

the Montana Outdoors magazine to my nephew every year. Is that from the FWP? Yeah. Does everybody have an answer? Shit. Just got their annual photo issue in the mail yesterday. Which are awesome.

Yeah. Cal, I think we're waiting on you. There you go. Open that marker think we're waiting on you. There you go. Open that marker right in the mic for us. So sticky. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those answers that I'm like, ah! You're all going to know it when he says it.

You know it? I think so. What? That's not it. We gave you eight on the last one. Yeah, that's right. We gave you eight on the last one. Yeah, that's right. That's because I got the right answer. That's not the same as just throwing out clues and clues and trying to stir new thoughts and ideas. He actually has the right answer this time.

Cal, we're waiting on you. I got distracted by the overly defensive tone of the guy with the right answer. I think we've been dancing around our banter today. We've been dancing too close to that line of acceptable. This would be a quiet game. Steve's not here. Quiet game going forward. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Randall saying Forbes. Cal without an answer. Oh, my God. Chester saying Lagoon. I lost an answer. Oh, my God. Chester saying Legume. I lost my mind. Corey. Legume.

Corey and Christine and Alyssa and Brody and Yannis saying Forbes. They got it. The correct answer is Forbes. It's a French business magazine, Legume. Now, if you want to spell like the magazine, it would be F-O-R-B-E-S. If you were going to spell it like Yanni's wife, who is a botanist, it would be F-O-R-B-S. The definition of a forb is a broad-leaved flowering plant other than grass. Most wildflowers are categorized as forbs. The business magazine has nothing to do with plants.

It's actually named after its founder, Bertie Charles Forbes. Question four. The topic is public lands. What state is home to places such as Ozark, St. Francis National Forest, Bull Shoals, White River State Park, and Hot Springs National Park? I feel like we've had a very similar question to this before. We have not had this question. What state is home to

places such as Ozark St. Francis National Forest, Bull Shoals White River State Park, and Hot Springs National Park? Son of a gun. Brody thinks we've had this question before, but he doesn't know the answer.

Well. Randall has it right. Chester, do you have this one right? It was really lacking. I don't know. I'm feeling good about it. This is question four. All right.

Whatever. Alyssa, I think we're waiting on you oh man got that such as in there Spencer we did such as that's right Phil what are the kids getting for Christmas this year we already talked about that

right before you walked in Randall asked me the same thing and I said it was a hard year we had these transitional ages where it's just kind of like they're between interests. So just lots of kiddies. Yeah, exactly. So many. I said get them brand new iPhones.

No parental protections. So what's the answer? What are they getting for Christmas? Well, this is definitely for the kids and not for me. We got a really nice karaoke machine. Awesome. Is it wrapped yet? It's not.

No, actually, yes, it is. You should bring that bad boy in. Phil! There has never been a karaoke night at me, Dieter,

that wasn't instigated by Phil. That's right. Just a coincidence that his kids also like karaoke. Yeah. We are one step closer

to having the tiki bar karaoke party of our dreams. Cal, don't tempt me. How big is the library on this karaoke machine? It says you get a subscription to an enormous library, like hundreds of thousands of songs. That's fantastic.

Good for you, Phil. And for your family. Good for you. Phil, you ever need a babysitter? Okay, does everybody have an answer for the state that's home to Ozark, St. Francis National Forest, Bull Shoals, White River State Park, and Hot Springs National Park? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Randall saying Arkansas, Cal saying Arkansas, Chester saying Arkansas, Cordy saying Missouri. Christine saying Missouri. She crossed out Arkansas. Alyssa saying Arkansas. Brody saying Arkansas. Yanni saying Arkansas. He crossed out Missouri. The correct answer is Arkansas. Well done, room. Most of you got that right. Hot Springs National Park, which has been nicknamed the American Spa, is the only national park in Arkansas. The thermal springs there have

been used by humans for thousands of years, but didn't become a national park until 1916. Question five. The topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Josh Ringsmooth. EHD stands for blank hemorrhoidic disease. EHD stands for blank hemorrhoidic disease. Randall knows this. Brody is thinking hard. Are you seeing my answers as i write them down no i just you're just going off my demeanor i see your confidence am i wrong i don't know i get tremendously excited when you say that i know this and then i wonder i started second guessing

myself it's that bugle magazine joke all over again. EHD stands for... Did it come too easy? Hemorrhoagic disease. Playing with my emotions. Yanni, do you have this one right? I'm pretty sure. Have you ever found a critter that had EHD? I don't believe so, but I've definitely hunted quite a few places that have had things. Does everybody have an answer?

I'm second guessing myself. Spencer, a long time ago in my youth, I was hunting a bachelor group of eight mule deer bucks. And I found them all dead by the end of the week. Really? Yep. Every single one. Eight bucks? Did they die at water? Did you ever get your scope zeroed? Oh, this is archery. It was archery. First week of archery season.

We found a bunch of dead ones. That's what makes it weirder that you had a rifle with you. That's for self-protection. Nobody can tell me I can't pack a rifle around. Does everybody have an answer Corey Alyssa I can't tell if I'm happy with my answer Is everybody ready

Go ahead and reveal Your answers If you were listening closely Yanni gave away a little bit of the answer Randall saying epidemic Cal saying Epizootic Yanni gave away a little bit of the answer. Randall saying epidemic. Cal saying epizootic. Excuse me.

Chester without an answer. Corey saying external. Christine saying erratic. Alyssa saying eastern. Brody saying epizootic. Yannis saying epis... What's that say? Episotic. Episotic.

The correct answer is epizootic. Yeah, I don't get it. I don't, okay. Brody is the only one who got, oh, and Cal got it right. That's a Z and two O's in there. Okay. It's hard to read when your board's upside down every other time. Oh, son of a bitch.

It's literally every time. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease is a viral disease in deer that's transmitted by biting midges. It's often fatal and is most prevalent in years with extreme drought. For more on this disease, listen to episode 58 of the Wired to Hunt podcast. What's the nickname? You got it in your flavor text. You got to give them the nickname. Blue Tongue.

Blue Tongue is incorrect. That's not the same thing as EHD. It's not. people use them interchangeably and it's like not a big deal it's not worthy of correcting somebody because you have the same ingredients that cause that should be your flavor text like correcting people that it's not there we go that uh yeah if you somebody call the blue tongue uh it's not like worthy of telling them that they're wrong. Plus it's not something. It's like you're too dumb to even correct or what? No, it's, it's, it's just, uh, Phil, Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia.

It's not a disease that like deer spread to each other. And it's typically a highly, highly localized. The EHD, yeah, I know. EHD and blue tongue. Yeah. It's from biting midges. So there's no...

When they're concentrated at water sources. It wouldn't be like a biologist would be like, oh my God, I got to go check that out because it's blue tongue instead of EHD. Phil, halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. It's a high scoring game this week. Got a Wilbur now?

We've got Alyssa, Chester, Christine, and Corey with three points apiece. Cal, Giannis, and Randall all have four points, and in first place with a perfect game is Brody Henderson with five points. I had a blue tongue last week. How you feeling?

Fine. Did you have a popsicle? No, it wasn't from a mid driver it was it was a airhead a blue raspberry airhead question six the topic is gear next live tour chester that's your opener yeah Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.

This brand, which has a lantern in its logo, created the world's first portable gas-powered lantern in 1914. This brand, which has a lantern in its logo, created the world's first portable gas-powered lantern in 1914. Alyssa, you got this one?

I think so. Alyssa, what are your kids getting for Christmas this year? Use the mic. It's okay if it's nothing. Cool. Drop the hammer down. Just a lot of cool. They're boring this year. Really? They're kind's okay if it's nothing. Cool. Drop the hammer down. Just a lot of cool. They're boring this year.

They're kind of like out of the toy phase. They want to close. A lot of meat eater shirts and hats. Maybe a little bit of that. First light pants. Alyssa's just been

wrecking the free table upstairs. Hope you guys like Spartan. Black buffalo. A lot of black buffalo. Everybody's getting it. This brand, which has a lantern in its logo, created the world's first portable gas-powered lantern.

In 1914, does everybody have an answer? Chester and Christine are thinking hard. Chester, you could just try cheating. Nah. Nah, okay. That's not my style. We're waiting on Chester and Christine. Man.

What's wrong, Randall? I don't know. I'm just second-guessing myself. I've lost all confidence. Well, just maybe lay out all the lantern companies that you can think of. I know. I was thinking back on all the bushcrafting and the Instagram accounts where they have the lanterns and axes and so forth. You're not familiar?

I think that's a good way to think about it. Christine, do you have an answer? Rucksacks? Do you give up? My rucksack. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall and Cal and Chester and Corey saying Coleman. Christine without an answer.

Alyssa and Brody and Yanni saying Coleman. They got it. The correct answer is Coleman. The first lantern that W.C. Coleman created was able to light up a 100-foot circle. These lanterns were used to illuminate the first evening football game west of the Mississippi River. The company's other major invention was the original G.I. pocket stove, which was used by World War II soldiers. Question seven. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Adam Curry.

The Spruce Eats defines this six-letter word as, quote, a French style of smooth, creamy soup that's made from crustaceans. The topic is cooking. The Spruce Eats defines this six-letter word as, quote, a French style of smooth, creamy soup that's made from crustaceans. Go for a bowl of this stuff right now. You got to stop doing these games over the lunch hour, Spencer. It's the only time I can get everybody free.

Brody seems to think he has this one right. Next time, maybe order some lunch hour, Spencer. It's the only time I can get everybody free. Brody seems to think he has this one right. Next time, maybe order some lunch. Randall. Yeah, no kidding. I'm still laughing over the black buffalo Christmas at Alyssa's house. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Right.

A solid nicotine addiction. We had a gift exchange. Then you'll know what to get him next year. That's right. Logs for everybody. We had a gift exchange yesterday at Meat Eater, and somebody did bring black buffalo to the gift exchange. That's true.

Heck of a gift. Half of a trash can full, to be exact. It was only a small trash can. The Spruce Eats defines this six-letter word as a French style of smooth, creamy soup that's made from crustaceans. Does everybody have an answer? Is everybody familiar with the Spruce Eats?

No. That's what I'm just wondering about. I've heard of it. If the flavor text will fill us in on that. Is everybody ready? It seems like a no. I think we might be migrating away from flavor text. Get out your phone. Oh, Yanni, how'd you answer?

What are we doing here? Everybody over there has already got one. We're good. Chester does not. Is everybody ready? Yanni's ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying bisque. Cal saying bisque. Chester without an have Randall saying bisque. Cal saying bisque. Chester without an answer. Corey saying bisque.

Christine saying bisque. Alyssa saying chowder. Brody and Yanni. Is that the red or the white? Alyssa and Brody saying bisque. Alyssa, you would have had to spell it chow-da. Yeah, with an F. To get that right.

The correct answer was bisque. That's spelled B-I-S-Q-U-E. The main difference between bisque and chowder is that bisque is smooth while chowder is chunky. If you want to learn how to make seafood stock that can be used in a bisque or chowder, then check out Danielle Pruitt's recipe on TheMeatEater.com called How to Make Fish Stock.

Question eight. The topic is fishing. This reality show about commercial bluefin fishing has aired on National Geographic since 2012. Brody wrote his answer with the confidence of someone who is going to keep their perfect game going. This is question eight the topic is fishing this reality show about commercial blue fin fishing has aired on national geographic

since 2012 brody have you ever watched this show like way back but i don't feel it's really about commercial blue fin fishing i feel like it's about dudes getting in fights with each other. So like the flavor text around the fishery. No, I don't. If I'm going to watch a reality show, it's going to be something like Married at First Sight or Love is Blind. There you go.

The whole like. Something that all the dogs can get into. The rough characters on the high seas never really pulled me in. Is everybody, no, everyone is not ready. You watching the Golden Bachelor, Randall? No, no. I did watch that actually. I can't stand the Bachelor.

I don't want a contest. I want to see love actually unfold. It's the only Bachelor I've ever watched. It was almost heartwarming phil see those old folks find in love at that age it's not too late it's not too late that's right they were in like their 70s wasn't there something wasn't there something a little weird about that guy yeah he's on a reality show yeah he dated that he was on that show. Yeah, he dated 20 women at once. That is a little weird.

I thought they had misrepresented his relationship status, that he actually had been, you know, never mind. For someone who doesn't watch it, you seem to know a lot about it. Yeah, you got all the flavor texts around Golden Bachelor. Yeah, I heard that on one of my podcasts. Let's go back to the endless possibilities of love. I liked it when you were talking about that. Flavor of love? Yeah.

I'm really digging in on the new season of Love Flavor of Love. Phil, did you watch Flavor of Love? No. Randall? No. No. Okay.

No one would get the pumpkin in New York. It was one of the greatest scenes of a reality TV show history. Does everybody have an answer? But moving on. I appreciate the extra time. I needed up until five seconds to go. Chester just erased his entire answer.

I'm not on my reality. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Tuna Wars. Cal saying Wicked Tuna. Chester saying Big Tuna. Corey saying Big Tuna, which was Jim Halpert's nickname in the

office. Christine saying Wicked Tuna. Alyssa saying Catch. Brody saying Wicked Tuna. Yanni saying Tuna Wars. The correct answer is Wicked Tuna. Brody keeps the perfect game going.

You boys are confusing that with the show whale wars, which we've had a question about before. Never heard of whale wars. You have, I bet you were on that episode, Yanni. Thus you have heard of it. Wicked tuna is still in production and has thus far created 12 seasons and

170 episodes. It follows fishermen who compete to make the most money by catching Atlantic bluefin tuna. It's estimated that the most valuable tuna ever caught on the show was worth upwards of $47,000. Phil, we have two questions left. Who is left in the game? The players who are not left are Chester, Alyssa, Corey, and Christine.

We've got Randall and Giannis with six points. Cal with seven. And in first place, he's still got it. It's Brody with eight points. Question nine. The topic is biology. So stoic over there with this fat lead. This next great question comes to us via John Vanik. Bring the heat, Spencer. What is the opposite of an ectothermic animal? What the... Was that like, this question is too easy,

Yanni, or is it like, what does that even mean? Yeah, I think it's too easy. What is the opposite of an ectothermic animal? Is this the last question? This is question nine. It's just a question about prefixes. This is question nine. Why don't you just tell the last question? This is question nine. It's just a question about prefixes. This is question nine.

Why don't you just tell the whole room? A little hint from Randall. I don't know. I mean... They all can't be eights, buddy. What is the opposite of an ectothermic animal? Randall, you have this one right. I hope so.

Cal, you have this one right. Otherwise I'm going to look like a fool. Cal, you have this one right. I hope so. Cal, you have this one right. Otherwise, I'm going to look like a fool. Cal, you have this one right. I know the opposite of ectothermic. Write that down. But if I had to write down the opposite of an example. Don't throw out too many hints here. What is the opposite of an ectothermic animal? Brody, how do you feel about your answer?

Does it have to be scientific? I'm not exactly sure which answer you're looking for, but I feel pretty good. Because I could erase my answer. There he is. But I've learned over and over again, if you read too far into any of these questions, you're wrong. What's the opposite of an animal? And then narrow in with the ectothermic. That's right.

I find the corresponding Instagram channel. Some non-carbon-based life form. Think about that. Yeah, you're going to meta me away from even having a correct answer here. Hey, does everybody have an answer or do we need more time? Because I have a question for you.

Okay, about what? About your shirt. What do you want to know about it? What's it all about? It's like a weird-looking shirt. It says Menno. It says Menno. It says Menno, M-E-N-N-O. This was my baseball jersey in middle school.

Oh. You still fit into it. The town I grew up in in Menno was Menno. Cal's made the observation before, but I used to be a little hefty, Riani. And so, yes, my middle school baseball jersey still fits me. That's cool. Actually, no, it's not that cool. No, I like the fact that you still have it.

Oh, okay. I was hoping you were representing the University of Montana Grizzlies who are headed to the national championship. Against South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Never heard of them. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying

endothermic. Cal saying endothermic. Chester saying endothermic. Corey says nocturnal. Christine says endothermic. Alyssa says cold-blooded. Brody says endothermic or warm-blooded. Yanni says

endothermic. The correct answer is endothermic or warm-blooded. Yanni says endothermic. The correct answer is endothermic or warm-blooded. The room did well. Since y'all laughed at my answer, I had endothermic originally. I thought that was too dumb. And what I put down was endothermic,

cold-blooded, and I erased cold-blooded. Okay. I had warm-blooded. That is a good thing. Ectotherms are cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temp relies on external sources like sunlight or heated rocks. Endotherms are warm-blooded animals, meaning they maintain a constant body temp that's independent of their environment. Phil, we're on the last question. Give us one last leaderboard update. It is down to Ryan Callahan and Brody Henderson.

He still has his perfect game with nine points, but Cal is nipping at his heels with eight. Now, Brody, I will tell you, we haven't had a perfect game since the Christmas episode of 2022. It's been almost exactly a year. By the time this episode comes out, it will have been over a year. You could make some history here. Could.

Maybe you'll pitch me a song ball like you gave to Randall on the last question. That was the day that I played my first game of trivia. And I remember because Steve said, you should come play trivia with us. I just got a perfect game, dude. I got a perfect game. Now, we also had Randall at a perfect game once. He was nine for nine coming into the last question about Big Hornet. He's talking about this.

It's not happened to Randall. He choked. It wasn't a perfect game, so it's not relevant. I don't think we need to revisit this, Spencer. Question 10. The topic is conservation. Name four of the six states with wolverines according to the Wolverine Foundation. Coincidentally, this is very similar to the question that Randall messed up on,

which I think was related to states that had, what, bighorn sheep? I don't remember. He doesn't remember, which I don't think is true. Question 10 again. The topic is conservation. Name four of the six states with Wolverines according to the Wolverine Foundation.

Brody was the quickest one to come up with an answer. His whiteboard is down. His marker is closed. He thinks he has the perfect game. Brody? You feel confident? I do. Okay.

Four. You have four states written down, right? He's going to double check for us. He does. Oh, you should only do four. Four. Only have four states written down, right? He's going to double check for us. Oh, you should only do four. Four. Only do four. You're going to get it wrong, Cal, if you have five or six. I'm going to do six, then. Okay. Is everybody? No, everyone is not ready.

Cal's going to go for seven. You just tell us their whole native range, Cal. He's got them. He's got them. He's got them. Okay. Randall's also confident. This is question 10. As a reminder, if Brody does have the perfect game,

Meat Eater will double its donation from $500 to $1,000. A lot on the line here, Brody. Mm-hmm. Corey, waiting on you. Oh, I'm probably just erasing the right answer again. Okay. Christine, waiting on you. I'm probably just erasing the right answer again. Okay. Christine, you good? Alyssa? No.

I'm going to draw this out. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Alaska. Cal saying Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Colorado. He went for six states. Chester sang Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming. Corey sang Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho. Christine crossed out Michigan, said Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska. Alyssa

without an answer. Brody saying Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana. Giannis saying Alaska, Montana, California, Colorado. These six states are Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, and Alaska. Brody got it right. Brody with the perfect game, the first perfect game in about 13 months. Way to go, Brody. Well done. Thank you. Cal went with six states and he got it wrong. Colorado, Wolverines have been cited in Colorado, but I don't think there's an established population. They're going to reintroduce them. This is via the Wolverine Foundation. You're going to have to argue with them. It's estimated that there are about 300 Wolverines currently living in the lower 48.

Their range used to extend from New England to California, but was heavily segmented. The last reported sighting for a wolverine in minnesota was 1969 for california was 1922 for utah was 1921 and for colorado was 1919 oh bullshit and you think i'm afraid to argue with somebody oh go ahead and argue with the wolverine oh wait you're saying the last one in Colorado was seen in Colorado? The Wolverine Foundation said 1919. I just wandered through that state a few years ago.

I thought they just saw one very recently. Brody, you're the winner with the perfect game. You should give it to the Wolverine Foundation. Yeah, maybe they need some funding to update their website. To go find those Colorado Wolverines. Brody, where is the $1,000 donation going to go?

We'll do my favorite. He's wearing a hat that says the Mule Deer Foundation. That's where you're going to donate to? Sure. What do they got going on right now? What do you like about mule deer? You know, they like to take care of those mule deer. Habitat, stuff like that.

Second coolest deer in North America. Someone's got to love them. According to who not me well done brody perfect game it's been a long time coming thank you uh did randall do you have nine who had nine did somebody have nine uh nobody got nine oh cal was real close cal went with the uh colorado instead of oregon which yeah lost he fumbled as he went to spike the football there. Good point. It was a Pyrrhic victory. Did that inspire you, Randall, seeing a perfect game by Brody?

I'm completely unaffected. Okay. I'm completely unaffected. I love that you're just taking it away even more. I, you know, I've moved on. There's other things in my life that I choose to prioritize over winning perfect games. The golden bachelor.

Yeah. Finding love on reality television. Join us next time for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
