Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Brody, Randall, Seth, Chester, Keith, Corey, Talyn, and Logan. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And because this episode is brought to you by Athletic Brewing, they're matching our

$500 donation as well as sponsoring a Moneyball question of the week. Thanks to Athletic Brewing, today's game has the potential for a $1,500 conservation donation. Now for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at player performance in the cooking category. In the history of all meat-eater cooking questions, the player average is 51%.

At the top of the leaderboard, do we have any guesses who are the best? Does that make it the, that's got to be the hardest category? The easiest are ranging in categories is cooking at 51%. Then I think it's hunting and conservation at 47%. And then fishing is 44%.

So they're all within seven percentage points of each other. I'll guess Brody. You think Brody is wrong. Oh. Who's our best? I think Randall is quite satisfied to hear that. Logan, who's our best performer in the cooking category? No, Cal is also wrong. Chester, who's our best performer in the cooking category?

No, Cal is also wrong. Chester, who's our best performer? Steve. Steve is also wrong. What do you got, Keith? Who's our best performer in the cooking category? Does Danielle count? Danielle is not our best performer. Our best at the top of the leaderboard is Giannis, who gets 70% of cooking questions correct.

That's followed by Randall with 68%, Cal with 67%, Brody with 65%, Steve with 63%, and Maggie Hodlow and Max with 53%. The cooking category has the fewest questions of all four verticals. Now, here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at the meat eater.com with the subject line. I F A Q Adam McCullough wants to know, I am wondering if Spencer could review the correct answers at the end of each round to help listeners with their final score.

I find myself listening when I'm doing chores or working and tend to lose track of my right answers. Now, this has been a common request over the last few months. So we're going to be doing that. I think Adam is right. After question nine, we'll review all the correct answers so you can get a refresher on how well you're doing and how you stack up against Brody and Keith and Corey and everyone else in the room. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a recent episode of Trivia,

we had a question about what show opens with the Fish and Hole song, which is a familiar whistled tune. The answer was the Andy Griffith show. And in the flavor text, I said how Andy and Opie are walking by a river, but that was wrong. They were actually by Franklin Canyon Reservoir

in Los Angeles, which is one of the most famous bodies of water in Hollywood. The reservoir was created in 1914 and became a popular spot for filming in the 1930s. It's estimated that about 25 films are shot there each year. Some of those include A Nightmare on Elm Street, Creature from the Black Lagoon, On Golden Pond, Purple Rain, Rambo, The Great Outdoors, Kindergarten Cop, Silence of the Lambs, Big Mama's House, Dr. Dolittle 2, National Treasure, The Brady Bunch, CSI, ER, Green Acres, How I Met Your Mother, Lassie, NCIS, Sons of Anarchy, The Young and the Restless, and Star Trek. Phil, you're our pop culture guy in here. Can you recognize any scenes that were maybe shot at this reservoir when you heard that list? No.

Randall, how about you well I'm wondering about at the beginning of Silence of the Lambs aren't they jogging around at the FBI training center yeah

that's one thing that caught me because a lot of times when you see people jogging around a lake in a movie it's usually

Echo Park Lake and there's like a fountain and that's a lot more recognizable yeah but I've never I wouldn't recognize Franklin Canyon and then in Echo Park Lake. And there's like a fountain. And that's a lot more recognizable. Yeah, but I've never,

I wouldn't recognize Franklin Canyon. And then at Big Mama's house. Now, despite his reputation as the official waterway of Beverly Hills, the reservoir actually has a nice conservation story. In the 1970s,

the land around it was set to be developed. That's when the National Park Service stepped in to purchase it, preserving 605 acres of wilderness that's now known as Franklin Canyon Park. Now, the Shelby Index for today's round is a three, so our winner should get six correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Here we go.

It's going well. Look, I need to know what i stand to win everything how's that just tend to win everything game on suckers question one the topic is fishing. This will be multiple choice. Which of these states is the lake trout not native to? Is it Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, or Montana? Which of these states is the lake trout not native to? Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, Montana. Phil, do you have any nice anecdotes about any of those films or TV shows from that list?

No, Spencer. Nothing at all? Sorry to disappoint you. I should have given you a heads up. Have you seen Big Mama's House, Randall? I don't know that I have. I feel like you're not their target audience. What are you saying?

That you're not their target audience. I just thought that was an overwhelming list of television programs and movies. Which of these states is the lake trout

not native to Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, Montana? Is anybody confident in their answer? No. Their room is shaking their head. No.

Lake Trout is native to three of these states. It is not native to one of them. Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, Montana. Is everybody ready? No. How long do we got? It looks like Brody's licking his board. It's a good sign for everyone in the room.

Well, Brody, seven of our players are ready. All right. You're not. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Montana. Corey saying Montana. Keith saying Oregon. Talon saying Oregon.

Randall saying Oregon. Seth saying Montana. Logan saying Oregon. Brody saying organ. Seth sang Montana. Logan sang organ. Brody sang organ. Nobody said Maine or Minnesota. The correct answer is organ. About half of you got that right. Dang.

Lake trout are native to about a dozen states, with most of them being in the New England or Great Lakes region. Montana is an odd outlier, with Lakers taking refuge in water here along the ice sheet during the Pleistocene era. After the ice melted, the trout recolonized the deep lakes that the glaciers formed. So native to Maine, Minnesota, and Montana, not native to Oregon. Question two. The topic is hunting. This gun brand introduced the Super Black Eagle to the American market in 1991.

Randall, Chester, Keith, Corey, Seth, and Brody all know this. That leaves Logan and Tay Lynn, who are not as confident. This gun brand introduced the Super Black Eagle to the American market in 1991. Randall, you're basically a federal arms dealer over there. We shouldn't joke about that anymore because they've changed the rules. Okay. They've changed the rules. Tell us about it. To determine whether or not someone is engaged in the business of arms trafficking.

Wouldn't be Randall. Yeah. The hobbyists in the internet, in the corners of the internet and where I hang out are much concerned about this. Yeah. The ATF loves folks like Randall. So did you ever own, own a super black eagle?

No, not really a shotgun, man. Okay. I like to own novelty shotguns, but not, uh, useful ones. This gun brand introduced the Super Black Eagle to the American market in 1991. Does anybody own one of these? I got one. Keith does.

Keith is our lone Super Black Eagle owner. Brody seems a little torn, maybe, on what he's come up with. I'm torn. I'm torn. All right. I always wanted one of these. Does that help you, Brody seems a little torn maybe on what he's come up with. All right. I always wanted one of these. Does that help you, Brody? Seth is an aspiring Super Black Eagle owner.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Benelli. Corey saying Ruger. Keith saying Benelli. Talon saying Savage. Randall saying Benelli. Seth saying Benelli. Corey sang Ruger. Keith sang Benelli. Talon sang Savage. Randall sang Benelli. Seth sang Benelli. Logan sang Benelli.

Brody crossed out Ruger, wrote down Smith and Wesson. The correct answer is Benelli. About half of you got that right. Should have thought about that hint you had in the question, I guess. What was the hint? That it came to the American market in 1991? That's right. There was your hint. It was the first semi-auto shotgun

that took 12-gauge, 3.5-inch shells, which made it an instant sensation with American waterfowlers. The black market for the Black Eagle quickly sprung up, with some of these shotguns selling for double their initial price. According to Guns magazine,

quote, investors were buying them up for future retirement income. It was a mad, mad time. Now, it's an Italian shotgun, right? All right. So it came to the American market in 1991. Question three, the topic is conservation. According to Purdue, the clinical signs of big game with this disease are, quote, lesions on the lungs, rib cage, and chest cavity. This is according to Purdue University. The clinical signs of big game with this disease are lesions on the lungs, rib cage, and chest cavity. This is question three. Brody's the only one so far to write anything down. This may be a zero percenter.

Last question, or last round, we had a 100 percenter. What's so funny, Randall? I just realized I was hearing pug noises. Sorry. I thought it was my stomach, but it's just a pug. Put that pug up to the mic again for us, Keith. Let me get my answer right first here. Better bring the mic down.

I don't want to disturb. According to Purdue, the clinical signs of big game with this disease are lesions on the lungs, rib cage, and chest cavity. Oh, man. Oh, my God. That was a good one. That was a good one. Everybody clear out here.

Yeah, she's got to go back to sleep here. This is question three. Randall, how do you feel about the answer that you haven't come up with yet? Well, the answer that I will come up with, I feel great about. Okay. The one I have currently, not so happy.

Yeah. How about you, Seth? You're one of the only folks who isn't threatening to change their answer right now, so you must be a little confident. I certainly wrote down a disease. Okay. I think. Is everybody ready? Randall and Brody Chester doing some scribbling and erasing.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester without an answer. Corey without an answer. Keith saying brucellosis. Taylin saying chronic wasting. Randall saying pneumonia. Seth saying EHD.

Logan saying CWD. Brody saying EHD. Nobody got it. The correct answer is tuberculosis. Nobody got that one right. If only you could have given us a clue, like this used to plague tenement homes in the early 20th century. Kill Doc Holliday.

Bovine TB is most commonly found in cattle and deer, but it also makes rare appearances in raccoons, possums, coyotes, and pigs. The USDA considers most states tuberculosis-free, but sporadic outbreaks do still occur. Most recently, deer in Minnesota, Michigan, and Indiana have tested positive for the disease. Question four. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Warren Zimistrad. For sending this great question, Warren 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. What television angler sells a three-hour DVD of bloopers that he calls his best goof ups and funny moments.

What television angler sells a three hour DVD of bloopers that he calls his best quote goof ups and funny moments. Randall, you have this one, right? I feel pretty good. Now, uh, Randall is a trivia fiend.

He was recently attending, um, some trivia local here to montana and he texted me with a lofty accusation what happened randall at that trivia well it was just a probably just a strange coincidence but a day or two after the episode released in which there's a question about the deep water horizon, known to some as the blue water horizon. There was a very similarly phrased question at a local trivia game, in which I was not competing, so there was no unfair advantage. But I just thought that was strange.

That is strange. It's not like we were on an anniversary or it's like local to this area. And you said the answer they were looking for was also Deepwater Horizon, which I felt like a unique way to phrase that. So maybe some thievery happening. It was odd. I don't doubt that that goes on, but for me to be there when a question was asked,

and I wasn't even playing this game. I just walked in for a beverage um now you can you can tell it it happens with listeners who will lift questions after off of shows um like they'll see something on jeopardy or or any other uh like trivia based show and then i'll get like seven of the same question in a two-day span uh where folks think it's relevant to this category so it does does happen. It does happen. Here's the question again. What television angler sells a three hour DVD of bloopers that he calls his best

goof ups and funny moments? Chester with a blank board. Surprisingly. Seth, are you disappointed in Chester for having a blank board here? Not disappointed because I know he knows it. You're just angry. Yeah.

I'm not disappointed. You're just furious. Yeah, I'm not disappointed, son. I'm just pissed. Nah, he's sad for him. I can see him falling off his boat. You're going to be mad at yourself when you hear the answer. I already am, Seth.

As soon as I walk in this room. Must be a fun way to feel, Chester. Is everybody ready? I think Brody is the most disappointed in himself. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester without an answer.

Corey saying the dude with the Tennessee hat. Keith saying Bill Dance, who happens to be the dude with the Tennessee hat. Talon without an answer. Randall saying Bill Dance. Seth saying Bill Dance. Logan saying Oliver Nye. Brody saying Bill Tennessee hat. Come on.

Give it to me. The correct answer is Bill Dance. We're not going to give it to somebody who wrote down Bill Tennessee hat. But that's who he is. Or the guy who wears the Tennessee hat. Bill Dance's blooper videos on YouTube have over 20 million views. They range from hitting his shin on a trailer hitch to setting a hook so hard that he falls over backwards into the water. As one YouTube commenter put it, Bill Dance is the only man who can make bass fishing look dangerous.

Here's a look at one of my favorite bloopers from Bill. Play the clip, Phil. Look at that style, too. Our players are watching Bill dance, remove a snag from a tree, and then a cottonmouth falls down on him. What I think is a cottonmouth. That is horrifying. I don't think that's a cottonmouth. What is it?

Just a bull snake? I don't think they'd be... That's a good point. Yeah, probably just a bull snake. Now my question is, doesn't it seem like some of his stuff is very staged? Oh, so he admitted once that some of the bloopers are recreating things that happened when the cameras weren't on.

Now this appears to be organic, and I think many of them are. But as Brody said, you'll find some stage ones in there. Now here comes the instant replay. You can only see this on our YouTube channel. Some Bill Dance kung fu here. That would be terrifying.

I don't think there's anything funny about it. Oh, I didn't see the kick. Bill Dance is the correct answer. Question five. The topic is cooking. Named after a fish, this Massachusetts peninsula is considered one of the best places in the world for fresh seafood. Sorry, guys. It's going to be a sec before it's on the TV here.

The topic is cooking. Named after a fish, this Massachusetts peninsula is considered one of the best places in the world for fresh seafood. Randall, you have this one right? I hope so. Keith, you have this one right?

Feeling good about it. Keith, have you been to this place? Negative. Okay, Randall, have you been to this place? No, never. A Massachusetts peninsula that's named after Feeling good about it. Keith, have you been to this place? Negative. Okay. Randall, have you been to this place? They don't let me out of Idaho much. No. Never. A Massachusetts peninsula that's named after a fish. Randall and Keith may be the only two who get this right. Named after a fish, this Massachusetts peninsula is considered one of the best places in the world for fresh seafood chester did you ever watch bill dance's fishing show yes all the time i imagine occasionally yeah

i've been doing it for a long time do uh to create a three-hour blooper DVD. Well, not if you constantly do the playback in slow motion. That stretches your content way out. Chester, would you have a good blooper reel of your fishing and guiding days? Oh, yeah. If you had a camera on, GoPro attached to the boat. Anything good come to mind? Hooks and faces falling over the boat uh hooks constantly

and people really being wussies thinking that it's gonna like you know it's a size like just a tiny little nymph getting caught in someone's finger and they they think they need to go to the er and then you do that. Not when you got surgeon chest. That little monofilament trick and pop it out. I don't know. There's nothing really that comes to mind, but be a lot of asshole clients. That'd be good.

I'd watch that DVD. Wives out fishing husbands a lot. Things like that. That's good content. Corey's probably got some good ones. I swamped my boat with some clients on the big hole. Oh, that sounds a little more serious than the goof ups and funny moments that Bill Dance was creating.

It's funny now, but yeah, it was pretty annoying at the time. Pooping my waiters. Not that anyone would know on the video. Do we get that, Phil, or are we rolling oh yeah crystal clear can you elaborate jess i ate some fried chicken from a local establishment oh we we've been through was this on trivia or the meat eater podcast it may be meat eater okay yeah but long story short just in case someone missed it. And yeah. I figured it was just, I didn't make it to the woods. So I cinched up my waiting belt nice and tight. Just sat there the rest of the day.

Nothing else to do. Show must go on. I mean, what was it? I want to pretend to fall out of the boat. Was there any sort of visible reaction on your part? Like if we were to play it back in super slow motion with the Benny Hill gang? I mean, imagine rowing really hard to the bank, throwing down an anchor, hopping out, getting halfway to the woods and just turning around and coming back.

You could have just faked it. You could have gone faked it. You could have gone to the woods for five minutes. Then just come back and said, everything's normal, boys. That's a good fishing guy, Chester. The clients are definitely like, our guide to shore.

Honest Abe over here. That was the biggest ground trout of the day. Again, we're on question five. Named after a fish, this Massachusetts peninsula is considered one of the best places in the world for fresh seafood. Is anybody besides Randall or Keith confident they have this one right? Yes. Oh, Corey's got it. I know it. Taylin, have you been there before? No, I

haven't. Keith, or excuse me, Corey, have you visited? I have not. Massachusetts Peninsula. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester without an answer. Corey saying Cape Cod. Keith saying Cape Cod.

Taylin saying Cape Cod. Randall saying Cape Cod. Seth without an answer Cod. Randall saying Cape Cod. Seth without an answer. Logan saying Marlin. Brody without an answer. He's taking a furious sip of his athletic brew beer. Marlin's Vineyard. The correct answer is Cape Cod.

Cape Cod was named by an English explorer who took note of the peninsula's abundance of cod. According to National Geographic, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod are some of the best places on earth to order seafood. The region is home to some of the finest tasting oysters, clams, lobster, cod, tuna, and striped bass. Historians actually believe the wooden lobster pot was invented there in the early 1800s. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a leaderboard update. For some reason, I was unprepared for this. I don't know why I've done this a hundred times.

Okay, we've got Brody, Chester, and Corey. I'll have one point apiece. Way to go, guys. Logan, Seth, and Talon have two, and tied up in first place are Keith and Randall. They've got four points. Our defending champion, Keith. Striking fear in the eyes of Randall and Brody. Hey, folks.

The topic is wildlife. This is the Athletic Brewing Moneyball question of the week for every correct answer provided. Athletic Brewing is going to make a $100 donation that's capped at $500. This week, Athletic Brewing is going to make a $100 donation that's capped at $500. This week, Athletic Brewing is giving to the Audubon Society. Here is your Moneyball question. What animal did Edgar Allan Poe describe as being, quote, grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous. This is question six. The topic is wildlife. For every correct answer our players get, Athletic Brewing is going to make an extra

$100 donation. Here's the question. What animal did Edgar Allan Poe describe as being, quote, grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous? Maybe it was a pug. It was not Graham. Corey, you know this one, it appears. I think so.

Okay. Randall is also confident. Brody, I think, was the first to answer. Chester, do you have this one right? Probably not. Okay. $100 per correct answer. Capped, $500.

You're right. This is question six. You have it right, Seth? No. Okay. I have an animal, though. Okay. Is everybody ready?

On the right track. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying raven. Corey saying raven. Keith saying raven. Talon saying crow. Randall saying Raven, Seth saying Bear, Logan saying Coyote, Brody saying Raven. The correct answer was Raven.

I think we had five people get that right. I'm going to count Crow. You want to count Crow? I just think it's basically the same thing. It's not. Talyn, we're not going to give it to you. Poor crow. I appreciate the help.

It's just a thumb in the eye of the bird people. Now, that line is from Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poem, The Raven. It's about a man who lost his lover and believes he's having a supernatural encounter with a talking bird. Now, our thespian Phil is going to entertain us by reading a stanza from the poem. Take it away, Phil. And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting on the pallid bust of palace

just above my chamber door. And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming, and the lamplight, or him streaming, throws his shadow on the floor, and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall

be lifted. Never more. Phil! Well done. It was so good. If you're watching the YouTube video, he killed the lights, never more Phil well done well done it was so good if you're watching the YouTube video he killed the lights

he brought some dramatic lighting up on his face I made that request to Phil at 10pm last night and then he still brought that level

of performance and he memorized it well did you memorize it? the reason I started it seemed like I was really throwing on the mustard there was because I forgot the words like I was really throwing on the mustard there

was because I forgot the words and I was stumbling. So I just kind of stretched it out a little bit. Old stagecraft there. Well done, Phil. No matter who has the most correct answers, Phil has won today's trivia. Now thanks again to Athletic Brewing for sponsoring the Moneyball Question of the Week and for making that $500 donation to the Audubon Society. Question seven. The topic is hunting. Which migratory bird flyway has the fewest hunters?

Which migratory bird flyway has the fewest hunters? I also asked Phil if he ever prepared or if he ever performed the Raven in his life. He said he never had. So that was all with him having about 12 hours to prep. Very good, Phil. For being realistic, it was about four minutes before. Okay. So I was trying to get that Bill Dance video to work, and I couldn't do it. Oh, yeah.

Only on Meat Eater Trivia, you can get Bill Dance followed by the Raven. Which migratory bird flyway has the fewest hunters? Randall, you have this one right. I have no clue if I have it right. Keith, you have this one right, you think. It's a flyway. We'll see what happens. All right. Keith, you have this one right, you think. It's a flyway. We'll see what happens. This is question seven.

Chester, how'd you come up with the raven, despite not being confident on that last one? Well, we, in high school, did some Edgar Allan Poe reading, and I remember the raven.

So I went with that. But I also was like thinking animal. So I almost erased raven and put down like a possum. Can I ask a question about your question? I mean, sure. I may not answer. Does it refer to like all hunters or a specific kind of hunter? Well, think about how they would get this, you know, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

would take a waterfowling survey to ask about how many ducks you killed and geese you killed and snipe you killed. So it would be specific to waterfowlers. Gotcha. Which migratory bird flyway has the fewest hunters? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Pacific. Bird Flyway has the fewest hunters. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Chester saying Pacific. Corey saying Central. Keith saying Pacific. Talon without an answer. Randall saying Pacific. Seth saying Central. Logan saying Pacific. Brody saying Pacific. The correct answer is Pacific.

Most of the room got that one right. According to a 2021 survey, the Mississippi Flyway has 430,000 hunters. The Central has 230,000. The Atlantic has 220,000 and the Pacific has 170,000. Despite having fewer hunters, the Pacific Flyway actually harvests more ducks and geese than the Atlantic Flyway. Question eight. The topic is gear. This outdoor gear brand that's named after a rodent made its first sleeping bag in 1973. This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Thespian after this.

This outdoor gear brand that's named after a rodent made its first sleeping bag in 1973. Saw my first one of the spring the other day. So did I. Oh, okay. There's a hint on what this rodent might be. Steve and Seth, or excuse me, Brody and Seth just saw one the other day. So did I. Oh, okay. There's a hint on what this rodent might be. Steve and Seth, or excuse me, Brody and Seth just saw one the other day. That was a big hint.

This outdoor gear brand that's named after a rodent made its first sleeping bag in 1973. I was talking about the sleeping bag, not the rodent. The old rat sack. We've had a 0% of this game. We may have a 100% here. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have

Chester and Corey and Keith. The entire room said Marmot. They got it. The correct answer is Marmot. Marmot began as a mountaineering club for students at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The first rule of the club was that everyone got to be president and you could join the club after climbing one peak with a member. They named the group after the Marmot because they appreciated their social disposition and mountain climbing skills. Phil, we have two questions left. Who remains in the game?

We've got Corey, Talen, and Seth with three points. Logan, Brody, and Chester have four, and none of them are in the running for the victory. Keith and Randall are tied up with seven points. Two questions left. Question nine, the topic is cooking. This four-letter word is defined as, quote, a hearty, seasoned Italian sauce of meat and tomatoes.

This is question nine. This four-letter word is defined as a hearty, seasoned Italian sauce of meat and tomatoes. Keith has not come up with an answer yet. Randall does have one though. I was second guessing myself. That damn Bill Dance just threw me off for the four letter word. As a reminder

there is a $1,000 donation on the line today because of Athletic Brewing Sponsorship. This four letter word is defined as a hearty seasoned Italian sauce of meat and tomatoes. Keith, you now have an answer. Do you think you have it right? Yeah, I got it. It's confident.

It took me a minute. All right. Brody, you have this one right as well. Yeah, but I'm out of the running. Is everybody ready? Corey, you got this one? No. Four-letter word. I either have it

or I'm going to look really stupid. You'll know it when you hear it. Yeah. I got a good answer, though. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester without an answer. Corey saying ragu. Keith saying ragu. Okay. Talon saying ragu. Randall saying ragu. Seth and Logan without an answer.

Brody saying ragu. They got it. The correct answer was ragu. And Corey just thought he was being funny here, and he got it right instead. Beers. Ragu is typically made with ground meat, onions, tomatoes, and red wine and served with pasta. Danielle Pruitt

says making ragu is one of her favorite ways to cook a deer neck. To learn how to make it, go to TheMeatEater.com and read her recipe called Venison Neck Ragu. Now here's a correct answer review for our listeners at home. One was Oregon. Two was Benelli.

Three, tuberculosis. Four, Bill Dance. Five, Cape Cod. Six, Raven. Seven, Pacific Flyway. Eight, Marmot. Nine, Ragu. Here is question 10.

The topic is public lands. Name three of the national parks that Utah refers to as their mighty five. This is question 10. Phil, who is left in the game here for this final question? It's just Keith and Randall. They both have eight points. Name three of the national parks that Utah refers to as their Mighty Five. Seth gives up

puts the whiteboard down said it doesn't really matter can't hunt them anyway I think I could get two but give it a try Seth maybe that last one will come to you

and as you know you've seen we keep all these stats so just get the juices flowing mm-hmm spill a little ink Randall you have this one right? I think so We keep all these stats. Just get the juices flowing.

Spill a little ink. Randall, you have this one right? I think so. Keith, you have this one right. I'm feeling pretty good. Could you boys name four of them if you had to? Yes. Could you name five?

I could do four. It might take me a second on five. Oh, wow. Not going to make you. We'll go to overtime the old-fashioned way. All right. I'd like to see you boys try. Should we try? Write them down and then circle the ones that aren't part of your three.

It's very clear. Name three of the national parks that Utah refers to as their mighty five. This is question 10. Is everybody ready? Randall is writing down his fifth. Gives up. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Great Salt Lake.

Zion. Arches. Corey saying Arches. Zion. Bryce Canyon. And then his bonus one was Canyonlands. Keith sang Zion, Staircase, Arches. And then his bonus were

Needles and what's that one say? Sandrath. Talon sang Arches. Zion. Staircase. Randall sang Zion. Arches. Canyonlands. Zion arches Canyon lands. His bonus was Bryce Canyon. Seth saying arches and Zion Logan saying Zion grand Canyon Escalante Brody saying arches

Zion Bryce. The five are arches Bryce Canyon Capitol Reef, and Zion. That makes Randall our winner, who got three of them. Keith incorrectly had the staircase in there. The five parks account for about 11 million visitors each year. They range from the third most visited park, Zion National Park, at 4.6 million visitors, to the 28th most visited park, Canyonlands National Park, at 800,000 visitors. All five parks are known for their red rocks, hoodoos, and arches.

Randall is the winner with nine correct answers. Where is the $1,000 donation going from Meat Eater and Athletic Brewing? You know, I took a jab at the bird folks earlier with my Raven Crow comparison, and we're already given some money to- That was a jab? I didn't, okay. I don't know. I'm dismissive of distinctions between animals that look very similar.

And we've already got some money going to the National Audubon Society. That's right. The money ball question. And so let's just push the whole pot in. $1,500 then. Yeah, let's do it. What do you like about, besides feeling bad a little bit for picking on crows and ravens being the same animal? Organization with a very interesting history named after a character who killed a lot of birds.

Okay. Oddly enough. I like that too. And as Seth pointed out, you can often find where birds you're targeting might be by finding the bird hunters. So there's a lot of bird watchers. I'm sorry, following the bird watchers.

And there's a lot of bird watchers in our community. So just share the love. Yeah. And they got a seat at the conservation table as well. Yep. Habits at work, all that stuff. $1,500 going their way. Well done, Randall.

Thanks again to Athletic Brewing for the money ball question and matching our $500 donation. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Thank you.
