This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals,

which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And today we are live at the First Light store in Haley, Idaho, and because we have a bunch of new players with us today, we're going to go around the room and get some introductions. We'll start right over here with Brad. My name is Brad Flutter. I work on the operations team here at First Light, just helping working with our factories and warehouses, making sure that customers get their orders and stuff gets where it needs to go. Can I tell you a secret, Brad?

I've never heard anybody in the history of the company pronounce your last name Flutter. Yeah. It's always Floater. He said it wrong. So are you wrong or is everyone else wrong? I like to think I'm right or at least my parents are engaged in a you know 29 year old lie. It's now on the record it is fluter not floater. I'm stunned. Yeah I mean it took Chase like a year and a half before he realized. I thought

he was just running like a bit. Okay I'm Claire Overy. I'm the e-commerce experience and systems manager. I design pages on our commerce sites and make sure it all runs well. Claire, I hear everybody get your last name right. There's no issues there. A lot of people say over by, actually. So I think that one. Not in Bo's memory, though. Over by Haley.

Hi, I'm Mary Gibson. I'm the assistant manager here at the First Light Flagship Store in Haley. Well, it's a beautiful store. Thank you. A lot of fun being here. Keith, what would you like to work with? Give us some insight. Oh, Mary's great.

She's just an all-star. She's always up to do whatever is needed done in the store with a big smile. Love her to death. That seemed pretty genuine because it was really an awkward spot for him there. That's an easy answer for me. Mary's a rock star. Be fast.

Right back at you. Thanks. I'm Cody Dinsmore. I'm the marketing coordinator for First Light. Handle the social media. So when you had your phone out all morning, you weren't being rude. I wasn't being rude, no. I was making content. All right. Welcome, Cody. I'm Michael Riedfeld, guides and outfitters program manager for First Light.

Yep. So handle all the guides and outfitters, bringingfitters, bringing them important industry professionals into the fold, getting in our gear, and helping them out. Michael, I've been told from the beginning, maybe not to your knowledge, that you're a contender today. Oh, I don't know. Folks think you have a chance. How old are you? 37.

Age matters, man. I know. Kind of one of the oldies in the office, actually. You're getting into the you're getting into the winning years yeah yeah experience matters right because you'd be like man i kind of remember that movie yeah that's that's helpful yeah it's a lot of the 90s stuff you know just hoping for uh less taylor swift questions and travis kelsey today so none of those today. My name is Kyle O'Connell. I'm a customer support and gear specialist.

So anytime a customer calls in with an email, a chat, or a phone call, we're the ones who answer it. So we answer all the simple stuff like where's my return, how do I do an exchange, but also some of the gear questions. So anytime you have a question about FHF or site gear, I'll be the one on the phone talking to you. Kyle, I feel like I heard you earlier declared the new guy.

Yeah, I am. I think the newest person at the company right now. How new? Um, since October, not the newest, but as far as first light employees go.

All right. Well, we'll, uh, we'll see how that helps you with meat eater trivia. Now we're over to Logan. Logan is the only one besides Steve here who has played meat eater trivia before. That is true. You didn't win, did you? No, no Steve here, who has played Meat Eater Trivia before. That is true.

You didn't win, did you? No, no, no, no. In fact, I did well below or above par. Did you get kicked out toward the end? Oh, yeah. Well, actually, no. Actually, no one did really well. I think six took it, and I only had four.

Logan, what do you do here at First Light? I work on our product team, specifically on a lot of our waterfowl and whitetail product. Keith Anspaugh, manager at this store here in Haley, Idaho. Super lucky to spend my time in here. Good to be a hunting bartender to all

the folks coming in and out of the store. It's a good gig. Keith is a fellow rockhound. If I was cheering for somebody today, uh, I don't cheer for people as a host, but maybe cheer for Keith. Uh,

Keith has been sending me all sorts of pins to go rock hounding in Idaho. Uh, it's, it's the start of a blossoming relationship between Keith and I, we're going to have fun, man. Yeah. Yeah.

Steve, what's your early read, uh, on your competitors today? The, I'm only going by age, whoever's oldest. Okay.

I guess Mary and I. Now, today's show is unique because we're recording from the First Light store and have a live audience. There are about a dozen First Light employees gathered around watching, so we're going to put them to use. Now, if you're familiar with the board game,

you'll know that we have rules for eight game variations you can play. One of them is called phone a friend, where each player gets one opportunity per game to call someone for their input on a question. We're going to do that today, but instead of whipping out your phones, you'll call on one of our audience members in the First Light store. So if you're stumped on a question, but think one of your First Light colleagues would know the answer, then you can bring them to the mic for their help. And if multiple of you use phone a friend

on the same question, then you'll all need to agree on who that friend is. So audience, be paying attention. You're going to have a chance to help out your colleagues here. If you like them, I guess. If you don't like them, you could just give them the wrong answer or something. How are you how are you doing like the old throwing a bone

situation right now you're not able to do that i think you'll know when we when we get to the bone uh for the first light that was the first thing i asked spencer this morning he did uh logan asked me before i even said hi say do we have a bone today or uh what's the situation now are we going to give steve the phone a friend as well? What do you guys think? Should Steve, okay, shaking their head no. Audience, should Steve get your help as well or not? No, he's not.

No, okay. Steve does not get to use phone a friend. I aged out. Our other eight players do. Now, this is use it or lose it. So don't be like saving this for the perfect question because it may never come. So if you're stumped on one and you think someone sitting behind us would know the answer, go ahead and bring them onto the show.

Now, there's no stat, IFAQ, or housekeeping this week. 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. Everything. How's that?

You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is public lands. This first great question comes to us via Brian Fitzgerald. And as always, it will be multiple choice. America's three tallest waterfalls are all located on public land in this state. Is it Hawaii, Idaho, Alaska, or Tennessee? America's three tallest waterfalls are all located on public land in this state. Is it Hawaii, Idaho, Alaska, or Tennessee?

This will be the only multiple choice question out of the 10 that you get today. Nobody looks confident. Everyone has been slow to come up with an answer. Three tallest waterfalls located in this state, Hawaii, Idaho, Alaska, Tennessee. Does anybody feel confident? No. Starting off strong. Room looks stumped. Is everybody ready? No one's using their phone to friend on this one. I think that's wise if you guys are stumped. Because none of your buddies are going to know this. The audience must be stumped as well.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying Alaska. Claire saying Alaska. We have Mary saying Hawaii. Cody saying Alaska. Michael saying California. Kyle saying Alaska. Logan saying Hawaii. uh we have mary saying hawaii cody saying alaska michael saying california kyle saying alaska logan saying hawaii keith saying hawaii steve saying hawaii the correct answer is hawaii about half of you got that one right olayupina falls is the tallest waterfall in America and the fourth tallest waterfall in the world.

It is 2,953 feet tall, which makes it twice as tall as Chicago Sears Tower. Of the top 10 waterfalls in America, four are in Hawaii, four are in Washington, one is in California, and one is in Montana. What made that tricky is the public land situation in Hawaii is a little weird because it's not like national forests and stuff, you know?

What is it? I don't know. I don't even know. When you look on OnX, it's like a lot of shades of colors that you don't see elsewhere. Yeah, it's not like BLM, national forest, yeah. Question two, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Ali Lopez. Au jus translates to with blank in French. Au jus, that's A-U space J-U-S,

translates to with blank in French. This is question two. Steve, do you know this one? You were the quickest to come up with an answer. Well, kind of. Steve, do you know this one? You were the quickest to come up with an answer. Well, kind of. Okay, kind of. Ajou translates to with blank in French. Can we use the phone a friend at this time?

You can absolutely. We'll hold it to the end. So we'll wait until everyone else has settled on their answer. And if you're going to use phone a friend, do you know who you're going to call on, Keith? Are they French? Yeah, she speaks French. Oh, okay. I would also like use phone a friend do you know who you're going to call on keith okay are they french yeah she speaks french oh okay i would also like to phone a friend you're gonna have about seven other people use phone a friend on this one as well here's the deal when they phone

a friend how do you prevent me from just overhearing what they said well no you'll hear what they said but you just can't change your answer at that point you will leave your board down so when we're ready to do phone a friend, everyone's answers are locked in. So then everybody here can listen, but I don't listen. No, you can listen as well. No, your answer, you're not going to change your board.

That's what's going to happen. You're not going to change your board. Does everybody who's not using phone a friend have an answer? I think I'm also going to use phone a friend, but my dad is going to be pissed about it. Okay. No, but like he puts Oju with every sandwich. There's not a sandwich that can't have be pissed about it. Is he French? No, but like au jus. He puts au jus with every sandwich.

There's not a sandwich that can't have au jus with it. Translates to with blank in French. She's doing that kind of chit chat. Oh, okay. It's all going to go out the window one day. Dude, the phone a friend. Okay, so we have Keith and Claire using phone a friend. No one else. Oh, no.

Oh, okay. About half of our players are using phone a friend. Everyone else, your yeah oh okay we about half of our players are using phone everyone else your answers dead your answers are locked in uh you're not going to change them do you guys agree on who's going to come up and help you out who are you thinking of keith renee speaks french everyone agrees renee that's who you want to come up renee come up and help out our players. Aju translates to with what? Yeah, what do you got? She says juice. We have a few fist pumps from the folks who didn't use phone a friend on that one.

Are you guys going with what Renee says? You trust her? Okay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying juice. Claire saying juice. Mary saying juice. Cody saying juice. Claire saying juice. Mary saying juice. Cody saying juice.

Michael saying juice. Everybody said juice. Everybody got it right. The correct answer is juice. What were you guys going to go with if you didn't get the help from Renee? Soup. Renee, what would that translate to if it was with soup instead? Okay, that's not it, though.

Culinary and language snobs get picky about the use of the phrase and will point out that it's redundant to say something comes with au jus. That would be like saying a steak is served with with juice. For an au jus recipe that has a perfect five-star rating, check out Daniel Pruitt's post on TheMeatEater.com called Sous V Venison Roast Recipe. When I used to work for my buddy Ronnie Bain, you got a, there was per diem when you traveled.

Uh-huh. And the concept, uh, is that Latin? Yeah. Whatever it was, all the guys would say you get 20 per diem per day and i gave up trying to point out so it wasn't ironic that they were doing it oh question three the topic is gear. Telluride, Colorado is located inside this national forest, which also happens to be the name of a first light jacket. Start over. Telluride, Colorado is located inside this national forest,

which also happens to be the name of a first light jacket. This is the bone I am throwing to our players. We have Logan who is looking around the room, trying to see what he can find on the shelves. If anything will help him out. Oh, I hear someone behind us knows this. Which of our players are feeling confident? Anybody?

Yeah, Mary and I got this one. Okay. Steve, do you have any idea? Yeah, I got an idea. Telluride, Colorado is located inside this national forest, which also happens to be the name of a first light jacket. I think you're throwing some real softballs this morning, man.

It's a little bit insulting to the... This is only question three. It's insulting to the audience, dude. He's like, oh, these people aren't that smart down in Idaho. Is everybody ready? Steve said that, not me. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have everybody saying Uncompagre, and they got it right.

The correct answer is Uncompagre. So that's as far as Shelby made it right there. Well, she only got three right. The National Forest is named after the Uncompagre tribe who used to call the region home. In the Ute language, the word means rocks that make water

red. The National Forest is famous for its million dollar highway which supposedly got that name for its million dollar views. What are some creative ways you guys have heard that jacket pronounced? I was going to say we should have some bonus trivia of what our customers call it. Give us some examples.

There's two of them. Can anybody guess what the two are? Uncle Padre. Uncle Padre. I get them called the Unc-Poo-Poo from time to time. We haven't had that one. I thought I had an Uncle Padre. We nicknamed it the

Unpronounceable. Unpronounceable is the other one. That's good. But yet you keep naming things after it. The lore is getting deeper and deeper. Question four. The topic is fishing. This fish has been referred to as the

vampire fish by Business Insider, CNN, and Fox News. That's it? This is question four. That's everything you got. But there is a vampire fish. Well, you have to figure out the one that was referred to as the vampire fish

by Business Insider, CNN, and Fox News. What? It's a nickname. Quote, the Fox News. What? It's a nickname. Quote, the vampire fish. Steve just declared the game is too easy. Well, then it got dumb. It's non-ground, non-real frustrated. It's like easy and then dumb.

I'm just looking for good. I think this is a good one. Because there's a vampire fish, dude. Is it edible? What would Business Insider, CNN, and Fox News be writing about that they would call this fish the vampire fish? This fish has been referred to as the vampire fish by Business Insider, CNN, and Fox News. Do you think Business Insider has ever written about

the actual vampire fish that hails from what, like Central Africa? South America. Okay, probably not. Does anybody in our audience know, in case someone wants to use the phone a friend here? No, they're also stumped. We may have a 0%-er here, followed by a 100 percenter, referred to as the vampire fish. Okay, so in behind us declared,

they think they might have a guess. I'm going to bring in Chase. Which I feel like is not that strong. You might have a guess. You almost can't guess. 60%. You're going to go with that, Brad? I think I'm going to save those odds for later. I think Chase has got one.

Got me saved later. Question four. Does everybody have an answer? Almost can't guess. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying Agent Carp. Claire without an answer. Mary saying Piranha. We have Brad saying Asian carp. Claire without an answer. Mary saying piranha.

We have Cody without an answer. Michael saying lamprey. Kyle saying snaggletooth shark. Logan saying lamprey. Keith saying snakehead. Steve saying snakehead. We have a correct answer in the room. It's lamprey.

Two of you. Let's go. Got that right. Well, here's the deal, man. And Logan. Because it sucks blood. But I thought this because they're pretty durable can't be killed. That's not what Business Insider CNN and Fox News refer to it as. You should have gone with the train of thinking of it sucks blood.

In folklore, the fish are also referred to as the nine-eyed eel this name goes back to roman times when vidius polio kept a pool of lamprey on his property he threatened to feed his slaves to the lamprey if they misbehaved maybe first light should uh get a little lamprey pool around here you guys can name a jacket after it oh there we go you don't know the reason why uh it wouldn't have been snakehead is if your name's already as cool as snakehead you don't need like you know i mean you don't need a nickname because you already got a badass name but like a lamprey that doesn't tell you anything we're on to question five the topic is hunting this is an audio question phil is going to play you 45 seconds of a song about a hunting dog.

You need to tell me who the artist is. Take it away, Phil. He was a rind of the litter, but a plenty mean pup put Sam on the scent, and he never let up, spent his nights on the porch chewing on a bare bone. Now he's underground, and I'm all alone. Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle. Folks behind us are singing it. I think they might know it. I like this song. Again, to get this right, you need to tell me who the artist is

that sang that song about Sam the hunting dog. I would like to phone my friend Nate Petoskey. Okay, Brad. Okay, we have a couple phone-a-friends. You guys will hold your answers until everyone else has locked in their answers. Steve, have you ever heard that song before? Nope. Somehow.

Seems like a song I would have heard a bunch. So we have two players who seem like they'll get it right because they're going to use their phone-a-friend. Is anyone else confident? Logan coming up with an answer. The rest of our players look stumped. About half of them have cashed in their phone a friend by now. Okay, we also have Michael who's going to use it.

We're going to be down to, is it just Mary? You're going to be the only one who hasn't used phone a friend. I have not, but I want to. Oh, okay. So we're halfway through the game who hasn't used phone a friend. I have not, but I want to. Oh, okay. So we're halfway through the game, and everyone has used phone a friend. This is like if you did a chore for the neighbor, and they gave you $5. And they're like, don't spend it all at once. And here we are, question five.

The phone a friends have all been used. Does everyone else have their answers locked in? All right. They're not going to change their answer. Who's going to come up and help? I'm going to pick Nate Petoskey. Does everyone agree on that? You're all good with Nate being the phone-a-friend.

Nate, what's the answer? Sturgill Simpson. Oh, goodness. Our other players are groaning. I don't want to show my board. Our other players are groaning. Nate, who is named after a great rock from Lake Superior that I'm hoping to find this year, says that it is Sturgill Simpson.

Rock's named after me. Oh, there we go. I like that. The statue downtown is part of the family. You're not on the show, Nate. I am. I think the rock is actually named Nate. Is everybody cool?

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have this whole side of the room saying Sergill Simpson, except for Claire saying, what's that say? And I knew this was wrong. Johnny Cash. Yeah. Kyle without an answer. Logan saying Waylon Jennings.

Keith saying Waylon. Steve saying Haggard. The correct answer is Sergill Simpson. I'm mad because I think I have that on a playlist. That song is from Sturgill Simpson's 2021 album, The Ballad of Dude and Juanita. The entire

album is set in Kentucky during the Civil War. It's about the sharpshooting dude and his beloved Juanita, who is kidnapped by an outlaw. After the abduction, the dude sets off to rescue Juanita with the help of his mule Shamrock and dog Sam. Simpson said he came up with the story while driving home from filming Killers of the Flower Moon.

Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Okay, we've got Kyle and Claire with two points apiece steve has three so do keith cody and brad and all tied up in first place are logan mary and michael with four points i said it i said it before the game well i think logan did declare uh logan also declared that everyone else is kind of playing for second place uh thinking that ste Steve would walk his way to an easy victory but here we are, he's one point behind three other folks Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada

Question six, the topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Drew Cinco for sending this great question.

Drew is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at themeateater.com. Gulch and gorge are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as, quote, a ravine formed by the action of water. The topic is woodsmanship. Gulch and gorge are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as a ravine formed by the action of water.

No one has put marker to whiteboard yet. They're thinking very hard. Five-letter word. Gulch and gorge are synonyms, and the definition is a ravine formed by the action of water. Steve has declared before that you'd learn a lot about a player by the orientation

of their whiteboard, and it seems as though this crew is about half and half going vertical versus horizontal. Was there any thought put into that? Or did you guys just like... I changed the orientation of my board after Steve said that.

Oh, okay. It doesn't seem to be helping me much. That's a good strategy, Claire. My board's so new, it's off-gassing. It smells like new carpet. These are new whiteboards. Our old whiteboards are entering the Mediator Auction House of Oddities. So you can get the real whiteboards that we played with for three years that are covered in graffiti by the crew.

Some of them are broken. Steve was asking if we're going to sell them as is. Because every now and then players like Steve will get frustrated and hit them on the table. And we have a lot of whiteboards that are all broken. So you can go in those in the auction house. Are you throwing all the parts in the box? Yeah, we'll include the parts. You could, if you want to duct tape them, glue them, do whatever.

There will also be a signed board game in that auction signed by Steve, myself, Cal, and Yanni. So check out the auction house coming out later this month. There's a lot of good stuff in there. We're on question six. Again, the topic is woodsmanship. Gulch and gorge are synonyms for this five-letter word that's defined as a ravine formed by the action of water.

Oh, we're putting one of the Clovis thrusting spears from the Kent State Archaeology Organization in there. Very good. Give us a few other examples. What else do you know is going in there? Putting some furs out of my personal collection. Oh, very nice. We have a fur fob bino harness.

We have... Are these furs, are they like tier one Rinella furs? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Take your pick. Good on you. God, I don't know. There's a ton of stuff I'm just trying to, I'm struggling.

Jewelry made by my wife that we collected by hand, rockhounding, and then she turned some of that stuff into earrings and necklaces. Beaver fur pillows. Oh, yeah, those were given to us at the live show in Davenport, I believe. There's some trips. There's trips in there. There's an odd ad hunt in there. A lot of things.

Go check that out. It'll be up in March here. Does everybody have an answer who's going to come up with an answer? Steve, how do you feel about your answer? You think you got it? I just spelled Canyon wrong. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Brad saying break. Claire saying gully. Mary saying creek. Cody without an answer. Michael saying holler. Kyle without an answer. Logan saying drain. Keith saying gully.

Steve saying chasm. The correct answer is gully. a few of you got that right son of a bitch there aren't hard rules about the difference between gulch gorge and gully but most agree that gorges are the biggest and gullies are the smallest gorges usually have streams running through them while gulches and gullies are typically dry but prone to flash floods does that check out now steve yeah it does gully yeah the problem is i got onto that auction house of oddities and stopped thinking about my answer we distracted him well done question seven the topic is hunting. Which two Looney Tunes characters had their guns taken away in 2020?

This is question seven. Topic is hunting. Which two Looney Tunes characters had their guns taken away in 2020? Those folks with kids who are currently playing playing are the looney tunes still relevant is that something that's ever been on at your house steve no they don't watch you looney tunes no it's all about cocomelon and stuff like that okay yeah it's awful they were they were into looney tunes for a while oh my gosh which two looney tunes characters had their guns taken away first and last names 20. if they if they have if they have three words in their name put all three

if they have one word just put the one if they got two put two that's what i'll tell you logan which two looney tunes characters had their guns taken away in 2020? Is everybody ready? No. Logan, do you have one of them? Yeah, oh yeah. Steve, do you have both? I don't know.

I'm not doing too good today, man. Reminder that he declared this an easy round at question three now we're on to question seven logan i think we're running out of time yeah go ahead we're out of phone a friend but if they had to use phone a friend we use phone friend they they burned them by question five do some folks back there know it they they do okay is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have brad saying elmer fudd yosemite sam claire saying elmer fudd yosemite sam mary saying elmer fudd daffy duck cody saying spongebob and patrick michael saying elmer fudd daffy duck kyle. Coyote, and Sam Logan sang E. Fudd and Sylvester.

Keith sang Elmer Fudd, Steve sang Elmer Fudd and Wile E. Coyote. The two characters are Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam. We had two folks get that right. Dude, I'm quitting, man. The showrunner told the New York Times, quote, we're not doing guns, but we can do cartoony violence, TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was

kind of grandfathered in. Instead of firearms, Elmer Fudd's shotgun was replaced by a scythe, and Yosemite Sam's pistols were replaced by a sickle. Scythe is way worse. That seems, you're right. That's haunting.

That seems far scarier to chase a rabbit or a duck with a sickle. You don't say scythe, you say scythe? I guess I do. It's a scythe. Or a sickle. Imagine Yosemite Sam carrying a sickle now instead of his pistols.

Question eight. The topic is wildlife. This next great question is via nick mccoy according to the national park service this mammal makes up 90 percent of a black-footed ferret's diet we'll get a scoreboard update from phil the engineer after this this is question eight the topic is wildlife. According to the National Park Service, this mammal makes up 90% of a black-footed ferret's diet. I think Steve...

What question are we on? This is question eight. I'm going to get a score board update from Phil after this. What do you got, Corinne? What's on your... Steve is confident. What's that say? Logan and Keith. Corinne wrote's on your uh uh steve is confident what's that saying for logan and keith corinne wrote something on a whiteboard that she didn't want us to acknowledge and now she wants us to acknowledge now she said don't bring it up what is it uh how are we doing here on

coming up with the mammal that makes up 90 of a a Blackfoot affair. This side of the room is confident. This side of the room does not appear to know it. The nice thing is they're all sitting so close that if one of you knows it, like all four of you should know it at that point. That would be dishonest, Spencer. If you encourage cheating, we'll take it. I would have played this. You got one cheat.

I would have played this game differently. One cheat. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying mice. Claire saying rabbit. Mary saying mice. Cody saying fox.

Michael saying mouse. Kyle saying pine squirrel. Logan saying field mice. Keith saying prairie dog. Steve saying prairie dog. They got it. mice. Keith saying prairie dog. Steve saying prairie dog. They got it. The correct answer is prairie dog. Biologists estimate that one black-footed ferret will eat over 100 prairie dogs in a year,

and it takes 100 acres of prairie dog colony to support one black-footed ferret family. The remainder of their diet includes mice, rats, ground squirrels, rabbits, birds, snakes, and insects. Steve, you knew that one right away. Oh yeah. Just knowing that they live. That's how black-footed ferrets got wiped

out. It's prairie dog poisoning. That was question eight. Or nearly wiped out. I could get into the whole thing with matizzi so you have a good trivia player we'll find out here phil how is steve doing the only person who is not in the competition for the win is kyle he's got two points everyone else is still in the game though we've got cody with three ste Steve, Michael, Mary, Logan, Claire, and Brad all have four points apiece. And in first place, it's Keith.

He's got five points. Keith, the audience likes that. They're very supportive of you being in first place. I love it. It's the mullet. It's a big part of it, guys. I'm feeling a lot better. I'm going to pull ahead and win, dude.

Two questions left. This is question nine. The topic is cooking. a big part of it guys so i'm feeling a lot better i'm gonna pull ahead and win dude two questions left this is question nine the topic is cooking what type of fish is gravlax what type of fish is gravlax this is question nine the topic was cooking steve knows it he might be the only one he declared he's going to catch up. He's going to need to get this one right. Keith is going to need to get it wrong. Can you do your little thing you do about how specific you want it? I want you to be specific enough that if you thought the answer was a

whitetail deer, you would say a whitetail deer. You wouldn't have to say coos deer. And deer wouldn't be good enough. I think. Now I've worked myself into a pretzel. Saying deer would be good enough. You just say deer. That would be right.

This is another one. You're bringing a lot of shame to my family. This is very Norwegian. Okay. And if I get this wrong. Whoa, nice. Just throwing bones out over there. Looking for what type of fish is Gravlax.

Oh, wait. Logan had something come to him. Thinks he knows it now. Michael, while we have a second for Logan to change his answer, can you tell us about the Meat Eater Experiences? Some relevant info to share. It's coming up soon here, right? Yeah, definitely.

So Meat Eater Experiences is a cool new program that we're launching for 2024 where you listeners, followers, viewers are going to be able to book hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventure trips with the Meat Eater crew. So you'll be fishing, hunting, cooking, butchering, doing all sorts of everything Meat Eater is known for side by side with the Meat Eater crew. It's pretty cool. The first two trips we have booked for the fall, or we will be accepting bookings for the fall, excuse me, will be at Fowl Plains Lodge in Kansas.

That will be a waterfowl hunt. And then we also have one, a fishing excursion at Cypress Cove in Venice, Louisiana. So those will be coming up, and the bookings will be opening soon. So make sure to stay tuned for more. And there's very limited spots, right? Like how many people on each trip? Very limited spots. Not very limited.

Fairly limited, I would say. Michael, when you're down there, there's some urgency. I don't want to discourage people. I would say there's some urgency around it because, obviously, there's going to be some really coveted spots and first-come, first-served basis. So we're really excited to launch this for 2024. Maybe one of these trips we'll have some gravlax. I don't know. Will gravlax be fish?

Don't help him if you know that one. Is everybody ready? None of these fish will be turning to gravlax. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying cod. Claire saying salmon. Mary saying salmon. Cody saying, what's that say?

Brown trout. Rainbow trout. Michael saying salmon. Kyle saying carp. Logan saying herring. Keith saying lynn cod. Steve saying salmon. The correct answer is salmon.

I don't know if you want Atlantic salmon. It doesn't have to be that specific. Gravlax has Nordic origins that go back to the 14th century Sweden. It was created by fishermen who salted salmon and then buried it in the sand above the

tideline. To learn how to make it, go to TheMeatEater.com and watch our video called How to Make Gravlax. Phil, we have one question left. Who remains in the game? It is a tight game. We've got, let's see, I'm trying to think because that was question nine, right?

So the only people left now are Logan and Brad, who have four points. And then we've got a five-way tie for first place between Claire, Keith, Mary, Michael, and Steve, who all have five points apiece. Brad, what is happening? I think a little commentary about my comeback would be good, Phil. This is question 10.

The topic is fishing. Game and Fish Magazine declared this river, which flows through Washington, D.C., to be one of the nation's best waterways for catfishing. Game and Fish declared this river, which flows through Washington D.C., to be one of the nation's best waterways

for catfishing. You got this one, Claire? I'm not feeling very confident. Okay, Logan is trying to intimidate Claire. Man, we were going catfishing this weekend but the weather is turning sour on us. It's going to be winter again. I know we had to

postpone our catfishing trip. Steve, do you have this one right? Logan appears to have this one right. Who else is left in the game? Who do I not want to have it right? You threw it down because you're mad or because you mic dropped? Mic drop. But watch it be wrong.

Brad, do you think you have this one right? I'll be picking up my board now. I'm entirely certain. Okay, Mary, do you have this one? Mary has this one right. How about the end of the couch there? Cody, Michael, you guys have this? Got this one right?

No. Okay, Keith. I'm shaky. I've caught catfish in this river before. Okay. All right, settle down. It's not going to give you any extra bonus points. Claire, do you have a narrow down to a few rivers?

I lived in Philadelphia for years, and I can't think of a single river on the East Coast right now. Okay. It's going to be a problem. We will go to a tiebreaker. If we have multiple people tied at the end of this game. Is everybody ready? Keith?

Yeah, I just erased something. I'm all good. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brad saying the Potomac. Claire saying the Potomac. Mary saying the Delaware. Cody without an answer. Michael saying the Potomac.

Kyle saying the Delaware. Logan saying Potomac. Keith saying Potomac. Steve the Potomac. Kyle saying the Delaware. Logan saying Potomac. Keith saying Potomac. Steve saying Potomac. They got it. The correct answer is the Potomac River. Game and Fish Magazine said the Potomac is one of the best blue catfish factories in the nation, largely thanks to the river's abundance of gizzard shad. Blue catfish aren't native to the Chesapeake river system they were stocked there in the 1970s with state agencies hoping to create new a new sport fishery as striped bass populations were on a steep decline that shocked me to learn that they're not native

there they'd be like if someone told me white tails are native to illinois or something like that they feel like different they feel like belong. I realize it would be different. Can walk over drainage divides. Well, blue catfish can swim pretty far. They had to go through some brackish water to get there. Phil, who is going to

overtime? This is exciting. We've got a four-way tie going into overtime. We've got Claire, Keith, Michael, and Steve with six points. Claire, Keith, Michael, and Steve. got a four-way tie going into overtime we've got claire keith michael and steve with six points claire keith michael and steve this is question 11 play the drop phil tiebreaker you ain't first you're last but that doesn't make any sense at all first you're last you can be second you can be third fourth fourth, hell, you can even be fifth.

Little Easter egg by Phil there. He played the old tiebreaker sounder. The tiebreaking question will be numerical, so whoever is closest to the correct answer will be declared the winner. The topic is conservation. What year were the first 14 wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park? Steve is so quick to answer that it appears as though he may know it. Steve, do you know this one?

I'm within a year. Okay. That's what you have to beat. Steve thinks he's in within one year of the correct answer. Now, if you're not in the tiebreaker, you should play along anyway, because if one of you hits this right on the nose, the needy will add an extra $100 to the donation. You know what's weird?

I've lowered my board down, and my shirt wiped my answer away, which I feel like it's God telling me something. What year were the first 14 wolves reintroduced Into Yellowstone National Park See he's got age on his side for this one And divine intervention apparently God wiped away his board

To try to steer him In a different direction I did change it because I knew I had it to one Damn it I want to put it back though Because what if it was the devil that did that Keith what's the spiritual world like in in the first light story do you ever encounter any any ghosts any demons anything like that what how can you help out steve black widows okay that's close a few a few

where lonely ladies wander through from time to time but that's that's about it yeah it's about as deep as we get here. Old ladies, but they're not quite ghosts, Keith says. They're close. They're future ghosts. Yeah. What year were the first 14 wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park?

Oh, dude, I got it within one year, man. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers we have brad saying 1982 claire saying 1991 mary saying 2006 cody saying 2003 michael saying 1992 kyle saying 2002 logan saying 2002 keith saying 1993, Steve saying 1995. One of you is right on the nose. It's me. The correct answer is 1995.

Steve got it right. I was so disappointed. He's the only one happy for himself. What was the original year that got erased? Well, I had 96, and then someone stepped in from higher above and erased my board, dude. So I went with the other year I thought it was. In January of 1995, 14 wolves from Jasper National Park in Alberta were released into Yellowstone. Almost immediately, the alpha male left the park and crossed into Montana. He was poached a couple months later by a bear hunter near Red Lodge.

1995. Steve, what were you doing in 1995? Well, I moved to Montana in 96. Oh, wow. That was a bonus for Steve. Yeah, well, I knew it was right. Yeah, I knew it was right then. Steve is our winner.

He gets to choose where the $600 donation goes from MeatEater. $600. Why is it $600? Because you got it right on the nose for the tiebreaker. MeatEater will add an extra $100 to the donation. Steve, where is that $600 going to go? Because we were talking about the Auction House of Oddities coming up, I want to put my $600 into MeatEater's land access initiative.

Which is what the auction house will help. Yeah, the auction house of oddities supports it. So just to get the pot, you know, little pot of grease going, I'm going to put that money right in there. Who got second place from First Light? So one of you needs to have bragging rights. Who was the closest? Keith got 93.

Was anyone closer than that? Nope. Keith, were you in the tiebreaker? I was, yeah. Okay, Keith is the first light winner then Keith you get to hold that title wow attitudes really changed

around here when we I was on a roller coaster dude when we said Keith was the winner Keith will come back next year and you can defend your title love it thanks for having us beautiful store here in Haley I'm jealous that Love it. Thanks for having us. Beautiful store here in Haley. I'm jealous that it's five hours away from us.

I'd love to come by and hang out with you guys. Keith, you make the coffee in the office? Is that what I heard you declaring? I used to be a big coffee guy at the office. I'd get there early, get the pots loaded up. And you quit? I moved here. Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking you meant the store. Yeah. Nah.

Come on in here. See Keith. See Mary. They'll get you equipped for whatever your next outdoor adventure is. Join us next time for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Thank you.
