Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your guest host, Giannis Patelis, and today we're joined by Meat Eater Trivia host Spencer Newhart, Badass Brody Henderson, Randall Williams, or just Doc for short, Tony Peterson, my personal whitetail sensei, riveting Reva Hansen, Max Barna, the world's best unknown waterfowler,

Chester Cheddar Floyd, and Christine Sawicki, my favorite HR person outside of my own mother. Aww. Yeah. Hoopman, my mother, was a great... Ask anybody that worked at her company. She was a great HR person.

I will. How come we didn't play the drop? Because it's coming up. Yeah, we're so far away from a drop. Did we do it last time? Yeah. Let him finish. I threw Brody off over there.

This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from MeatEaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. The stat for the stat this week, we're looking at player performance from the first time that I guest hosted. That took place 10 months ago in episode 469. The winning score that day was a whopping four. And the average player score was 2.3,

which is the lowest ever for a game of meat eater trivia. Over half of the players got fewer than two correct answers. And the game included three zero percenters. That sounds like a shitty game of trivia. Like not fun at all to play. Shitty questions. Okay. Interestingly, it was Spencer who won that day.

And we had a gas leak. And we had a gas leak. Yeah, did we have to stop playing? We did. Because of that. That was 10 months ago? Yeah. And I threw a beer on the roof of Chili.

It was awesome. Yeah. I decided then that the next time Spencer would let me guest host, I was going to pitch a full trivia game of softballs. Okay. It's close. So you think there's a chance you overcorrected and there's going to be like

three perfect games? No, because the, we'll skip ahead. Jennifer played quickly this morning and scored four. Oh, right. So the Jennifer index is eight today. Let's see. Phil,

you have seen my questions for today's round of trivia. Do you think it's easier than last year? And do you think Spencer has a good shot at win number two? I couldn't tell you on the Spencer front. I will say I think Spencer has a good shot at win number two? I couldn't tell you on the Spencer front. I will

say I think it's a little bit easier. I think there are one or two that I think have a chance to be zero percenters, I will say. So you're either way overcorrected and it's going to be too easy, or we're where we were ten months ago. If someone wins with

an eight, that's like that's right where you like it. Last game Brody won with a 7. Don't remind us. Instead of doing an IFAQ this week, which is infrequently asked questions, we're bringing

back the 0%er segment. This is a test of how much knowledge players have retained from previous games. This question was from, you guessed it, the episode that I hosted. The topic was butchering and nobody got it right. The question was, when butchering an animal,

what is the process of removing the trachea and esophagus called? The incorrect answer is given... Don't say it yet. Oh. Is anybody going to guess the correct answer? Oh, okay. Go ahead.

I thought we would say that, and then you could try to guess. Other crazy answers. Maybe you'll get the same wrong answers again. That's true. I remember the question, but I don't remember the answer. Nobody knows. Listen, don't feel bad, because Spencer actually helped me out with that part of this, and I couldn't remember either.

Oh, really? Anybody? Can't remember. It's on the tip of my tongue. Throat punch? I wrote this like three hours ago, and I don't even remember. It's like Weezingdung? Weezingding.

Weezingding. Weezingding. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Housekeeping. Alsoezing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Housekeeping. Also from the last time.

I thought I had such a, even though it was a hard game, I thought my questions were good, but not quite perfect. I asked a question about geography, and the question was, what Canadian province sits between Maine and the Gulf of St. Lawrence? The correct answer in my game was New Brunswick. But a bunch of, well, a bunch, a dozen listeners wrote in saying that there should be multiple correct answers, including Quebec, which Brody provided, Nova Scotia, which Spencer provided, and Prince Edward Island, which no one's provided.

So I'll retroactively award Brody and Spencer their points, but that doesn't change anything because those two went to a tiebreaker anyways. Some angry Canadians, Yanni, about us messing up their geography. Look, I stared at that map for a while. I don't know how I messed that up. You don't speak Canadian. Yeah, that could be it. French. Alright, so

we know today's Jennifer Index for the show is four, so the winner ought to get about eight. With that, let's start the show. Play the drop fill. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything.

How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! I'm excited, Yanni. What happened to our little light show? I was having trouble with those lights. They weren't holding on to a charge, Randall. I think there was something wrong with one of them.

I apologize. I'm sorry. No, it's fine. My experience isn't as good as it used to be. You made't holding on to a charge, Randall. I think there was something wrong with one of them. I apologize. I'm sorry. No, it's fine. Your experience isn't as good as it used to be. You made up for it with a scoreboard. Oh, thanks, Brody. It all evened out. Randall says apology not accepted, though. I mean, it'll be nice when we can get some working lights back in there. I'll keep that in mind. Question one.

Name the author of these quotes. I'm going to give you two. Whoa. Number one. You might as well learn that a man who catches fish or shoots game has got to make it fit to eat before he sleeps. Otherwise, it's all a waste and a sin to take it if you can't use it.

The second quote. Time just seems to fly away for a boy. That, I suppose, is why one day you wake up suddenly and you ain't a boy any longer. Is it Ernest Hemingway, Robert Ruark, Peter Kapstik, or Aldo Leopold? Okay, even before I could finish reading reading I have at least three boards down More are writing A couple are thinking I'm feeling pretty good about my First off

I will say this originally was not a multiple choice question It wasn't Happy it is Tony, would you have gotten it if it wasn't multiple choice? Yep. You would have. Yeah. Assuming I have it correct, I would have as well.

Christine, are you still thinking? Spencer, how do you feel? You're a little fidgety, man. Now I'm second guessing. I'm always fidgety. Okay, everybody, go ahead and reveal your answers. Riva, Aldo, Leopold, Christine, Hemingway, Tony, Ruark, Randall, Ruark, Spencer, Ruark, Chester, Leopold, Max, Hemingway, and Brody, Ruark. Can I tell you my strategy?

Yes. I picked the one that I thought you wouldn't have come up with. I thought the other three you would have come up with is fake answers. Because I've written games of trivia before, and I thought, well, this one seems like one, despite having no idea what the correct answer is. Interesting. I'm going to use that next time.

I feel like the second quote gives it away, because you know Robert Roark wrote, his most famous piece is The Old Man and the Boy. And in there he's constantly talking to his young mentee. You should read that, Spencer. Okay, yeah. You should. Everybody should. I read

that and Ruark's Use Enough Gun, which is about his time spent in Africa on safari in my early 20s. And they were both extremely influential and stoked my fire for the outdoors. Is that the answer? Yeah, Ruark.

Sorry. I already said half the room got it right. Oh, all right. Good job. Thank you. Okay, on to question number two. Already feeling better about this game, y'all.

Me too. How heavy does a buck have to be in order to be accepted into the biggest bucks in Maine Club? You know this, Brody? I know what I'm going to write down. Oh, and I thought at least for the Whitetail enthusiasts here, this would be a gimme. Yeah. I know it ain't as big as a big-ass mule deer buck.

Again, the question is, how heavy does a buck have to be in order to be accepted into the biggest bucks in Maine Club? So, do you want an answer like, I'm going to say like 50 pounds plus? Yeah, what would be the minimum weight of a buck to be accepted in the biggest bucks in Maine Club? I like Tony's question. Yanni, is this field dressed or on the hoof? This is field dressed.

All right. Oh. Okay. Oh. Yeah, that changes a lot. Oh. Not for me. Oh.

That's good context. Did you get it, Reva? Reva and I have a bet going for this game. Oh. A little side bet. A little Calcutta. Yeah.

I commented on her sweater. I said, where does a person get a sweater like that with that angry man-eater cat on there? What is it? And then she told me, well, she could answer that, but then she told me that she was going to kick my ass in this game. And I said, if you beat me in this game, I will buy whatever sweater like that that you pick out out and I will wear it the next time we do a

Thing I'd a fishing client that got attacked by a leopard twice hunt in Africa. You remember But uh, no, how did I know I feel like it happens twice you deserved it You were doing something can happen when you're hunting leopards, man. Right. Yeah. God, Bud, what was his name? Does everybody have an answer?

Wait, no. Might be a cheater. They're still thinking. Oh. We need a number. That's not stupid, right? We need a number. That's terrible.

Christine is showing Tony. That is stupid. Tony's laughing. I can't do this. We need a number. Christine is showing Tony. Tony's laughing. I can't do this. She's like, button buck club? I've never weighed. I've only weighed the meat. Biggest bucks in Maine. Club. We got some biggins out there.

I can't tell you because now Reba's giving me the stink eye. Go ahead and reveal your answers Reba says 150 Christine 150 Tony Randall 200 Spencer 225 Chester 170

Max 170 Brody 200 we have a correct answer it is 200 pounds. I had that. Son of a... Big deal in Maine to kill a 200-pounder. The biggest box in Maine club is managed by the outdoor publication,

The Maine Sportsman. In 2023, there were 476 entries into the club. The application form states that the weight may be certified by tagging station employees, game wardens, game biologists, or game processors. Please also include names of up to two witnesses, if available. The minimum dressed weight must be 200 pounds without heart, lungs, or liver. That would mean that it's an average live weight of slightly more than 250 pounds. Tony, is it still a thing in Maine where they don't really give a shit about points and antler score?

It's like still a weight thing? Well, I mean, there's kind of a North Country thing to that. I mean, I don't think it's limited to Maine. Right. I mean, there's... Vermont, New England, all that. I mean, even northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin. I mean, it's still... It's not like what that. I mean, even northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin. I mean, it's still...

It's not like what it was 40 years ago. They're measuring antlers now. Right, yeah. Hmm. It's interesting. Patrick Hanley from SIG. He lives up in that country in New Hampshire, Hunts, Maine. And, yeah, he'll tell you stories all day long.

Never mentions how many points the buck had. Wasn't he just talking about that when we were out shooting? Mm-hmm. Yeah, just shooting big bucks. Big, heavy bucks. Me and Tony are the same way. We just talk in weights. Yep.

Christine, too. She had 110 pounds written down in the first one. She was thinking coos deer. She was thinking coos deer. She was thinking coos deer. Alright, we're on to question three. The Texas crutch involves what material

when making barbecued ribs? Again, I'll repeat the question. Giannis, I reworded this in the doc. You did. Did you change it back because you didn't like my rewording? Let's have Spencer in the doc. You did. Did you change it back because you didn't like my rewording? Let's have Spencer be the judge. What's better? The one that's on the TV or the one Giannis just read?

Go ahead and read it again. The Texas crutch involves what material when making barbecued ribs? Phil wrote it to the Texas crutch preparation of barbecued. See, the Texas Crutch is not a preparation, though. Well, that's not what I read on the internet.

As we know, no one's ever written in about mistakes that Spencer read on the internet. Technique instead of preparation? Hmm? Technique. Yeah, that would have been better. Hmm. Yeah. You're right.

I'll take the L. Either way, you still have to tell me what material is used when you do the Texas crutch. Has anybody done a Texas crutch in here? Anybody. Apparently I have. I didn't know that. I didn't want to give a hint. If I'm right.

Oh, Brody's. Wow. How are you feeling about it, Randall? I have a material. Okay. It's one that Could be used to To make ribs? Yeah

Actually I don't know Does everybody have an answer? You gotta tell people What you had written down Okay Brody's gonna have to tell people what Max Well. Chester, write something down for me. It's good. I was thinking about like on your...

I'm telling everyone. Whatever. I don't care. I've gone 0 for 10 before in this trivia. I think you made a good change, though. All right, reveal your answers. Reva says wood. Christine without an answer. Tony, aluminum foil.

Randall, rebar. Spencer, tin foil. Chester, mesquite. Max, tin foil. Brody, aluminum foil. The room did pretty good. Nice. Come on, tell them what you had down.

I had leather down. Because I was thinking about like oh what does the cook wear on his hands leather could impart some flavors I might get one anyway after slow cooking on a smoker for hours

and when the ribs are nearly done the meat is wrapped tightly in foil or I would have also accepted butcher paper to steam and braise in its own juices. This makes the meat juicier and more tender. You can add barbecue sauce, apple juice, sugar,

etc. to the aluminum foil packet at this time. Put it back on the heat for an hour but no more. Too much time in the crutch will produce mushy meat. It works good for deer ribs, though, because they don't have any fat. That's right.

Very important for deer and elk ribs. I was picturing much more interesting methods of preparation. Yeah, me too. Rebar. Yeah, I want to see you sing a rebar. I'll prop it up like a crutch. I was thinking about a physical crutch.

It is crutchy. No, the Texas cheat. All right. Question number four. What are the full names of Billy Coleman's two hounds in the book Where the Red Fern Grows? And I thought I was giving them one one and here we are with no one writing this is one I thought would be the zero percenter Yannis Okay, Google just signed me out So you guys have a second

Hopefully I can remember my password Johnny, when's the last time you read this book? I actually read it Last November, December. To your children or to yourself? No, to myself. Oh, okay. Yeah, I have read it to my children.

Nobody's going to say anything? No. What? You just did, Randall. My good buddy, Jake Gribb. This is all part of my little, what do you call the part after the question? Flavor text Factoid

My buddy Jake Gribb reads it almost every year To get fired up for hound season That seems a little excessive Well I mean you can read this book If you skim through it Probably in an hour or two But Yeah it gets you fired up, man,

if you're a hound guy. Okay, everybody have an answer? Or giving up, not having an answer? Go ahead and reveal them. Reva, nada. Christine, bear and blue, I like it. Red and blue. Randall, Scooby and Scrappy.

Spencil. Spencer says Old Red and Mingus. Chester says Toby and Max. Max says Blue and Fern. Brody says Dusty and Gunnison, which are the names of his last two dogs. We have our first zero percenter. Is there like a half?

You know, we should have a sound effect for that. No, no. No one got a half. No one got a toilet flush. And you know, the way this came up was I thought of it, and then I said, Steve, are you going to be here when I host? And he said no. And I asked him the question, and he got it right.

And I thought, oh, okay, that would be a good one. The answer is Old Dan and Little Ann. I would have accepted Dan and Ann. Yeah, Where the Red Fern Grows is a wonderful

children's book by Wilson Rawls. In the book, a young Billy Coleman buys two red bone hounds and teaches them to tree coons. They become coon catching legends in the Ozark Mountains. Over 7 million

copies of the book have been sold by now. Could you imagine if Steve would have been here? He was the only one. We would never hear the end of it. I can't imagine. If you're interested in how this book, Pocoon Hunting, at the forefront of American pop culture,

listen to the two-part series on the popular Bear Grease podcast. Episode 42, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Peculiar Life of Wilson Rawls, and episode 43, Where the Red Fern Grows, Character and Manhood.

Now you're hosting, Yanni. I highly recommend reading the book and listening to the podcast. Thanks, Spencer. All right, we're on to question number five. Hopefully you guys will do a little bit better. This Italian recipe literally translates to bone with a hole. Brody got the answer. Randall has the answer.

Can't believe this hasn't been a question. I know. Listen, well, you know how it is when you're guest hosting. You have to type in all the keywords into Spencer's list of questions, and I couldn't believe that nothing hit, especially this one. But it's a good feeling because you don't have to come up with another question.

Spencer also came up with an answer. Tony is still thinking. Your little banter there makes me feel good about my answer then. Let me see your answer, Spencer. I've got to flash it across to other folks. Yeah, don't worry about it. Well, we trust them. They're not going to... Good job, Spencer. I've got to flash it across to other folks. Yeah, don't worry about it. Well, we trust them.

They're not going to... Good job, Spencer. Okay, good. I'm not writing it. Let me see your answer. No, it'll come to you. I believe in you, Chester. Brody, let me see if you got it right.

Reva and Christine, do you guys consider yourselves wild game cooks? Nope. Chefs? Not after this. Do you guys consider yourselves wild game cooks? Nope. Chefs? Not after this. Do you like to go to fancy restaurants? I'm still this game. I didn't even know I'm a deer. Oh.

I can't remember what that is. It's a wild game. Wait, who's throwing hints to you? Tony can't remember what it's called. We learned last game that cooking is his weakness in meat eater trivia. Proving to be true right here. Question number five. Max's answer

has got Phil smiling and kind of snickering behind him. Is that because you're cooking a lot of wild game. Yeah, I do. I have put myself through college cooking. I've been on the line, you know, it's past life. But I don't do very well. What kind of place was it?

A couple different places. And I feel like this one specifically is driving me nuts because I can't think of it, and I feel like I've run across it a million times. You're nothing else if not creative, Max. Christine, you still thinking? Just give me a second. We're going to give Christine five seconds.

I don't think that's it. And it's a better answer than mine. Do you trust him? Yeah, yeah. I was way off on that, dear. Five, four, three, two, one. Just forget it, yeah. And it's a better answer than mine. Do you trust him? Yeah. I was way off on that, dear. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Just forget it. Yeah.

Okay. Go ahead and re-reel your answers. Riva, verte convoid. Are you serious? Christine, nada. Tony says marrow. Randall says ossobuco. Spencer, ossobuco.

Chester, nothing. Max says bone apeuko. Spencer Asabuko. Chester nothing. Max says Bone Ape Teeth. Cute. Brody Asabuko. The correct answer. Hey, Yanni, can I make an appeal here? Because this is the person who can fire us at will.

She actually did have the right answer. What? And I talked her out of it. Why did you do that? Because I thought it was wrong. She actually did have the right answer and I talked her out of it. Why did you do that? Because I thought it was wrong. She got that point. If I were Phil's judge, I would give her the point. Oh yeah, 100%. Two points. Give her three points

actually. I had the same thing and then Phil started laughing at me. You did not. Max, just because you said that, he had cordon bleu completely spelled wrong and also it's French. See, that's why I erased it. Acebuko is, in my opinion,

by far the best way to start enjoying the shanks from deer, elk, or moose. It takes extra time to save and saw the shanks, and it takes time to cook the shanks. But every time I make it, I'm happy I did, and so are my dinner guests. I don't limit this recipe just to the shanks. It works well with any cut that is full of silver skin. Just cut that roast or chunk of meat, whatever it is, into 1.5 inch, inch and a half thick rounds across the grain and go for it.

If you need a recipe, we have several at TheMeatEater.com including Venison Shank Sous Vide Asabuco by Ryan Callahan, Braised Venison Shanks Asabuco by Steven Rinella, and if you're looking to add a little flair, Indian Spiced Asabuco by Daniel Pruitt.

Don't throw out those shanks. Saw them up when they're frozen. Good hot tip there. I've got a handful of rainy day questions for if I hit a writer's block that I can just plug into any show. That's one of them. It's about Ossobuco. Last episode, we had the question about two of the five states

with the most federal land. That was a rainy day question. I needed one more to fill in the script. So it's been front of mind. You're going to have to replenish your rainy day questions. We're getting a lot of behind the scenes insight here. I've sent Spencer like five or six questions that I thought would be like cool. And every time he like shuts me down.

Well, that's because they're questions we've had on the show, Max. But I think they're always great questions. They were so good that I've done them on the show. All right, that was question five. So that brings us to a scoreboard update. Phil? Yeah, here we go. Reva got zero points along with Chester, Cheddar Floyd.

Christine, thanks to Tony's kind gesture there. You've got one. Well, Chester Cheddar Floyd. Christine, thanks to Tony's kind gesture there. You've got one whole first very unkind gesture. Max, you also have one point. Randall, Tony, and Spencer have three points, and in first place is Brody Henderson with four. It's like Tony put out a fire that

he started. Right. It's a kind of credit. I will take all the credit for it even though I created the whole problem. You guys are on pace to hit the Jennifer index. It's great. Not all of us. No, not all of you.

Not all of us. You have to be above 35. Some of you are. Brandon, how old are you? 37. Yeah, you have to be above 35. I'm 32. Yeah, you have to be above 35 to... I'm 32. Oh. Ooh.

Outlier. What's this age talk going on? Nothing. Next question. All right. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians

as slow and as with a nice of an arc as I can lay out there where are the interdigital glands located on a deer I see some writing that makes me happy

I'll repeat the question where are the interdigital glands located on a deer how specific are you looking for Giannis not that specific Located on a deer. How specific are you looking for, Giannis? Not that specific. Not that specific. I'm going to say it's got to be within a...

Six inches? Six inch region. What do you think, Spencer? Sure. You're not going for front, back, top, bottom? No, that's not going to cut it. I was going to make a joke and say it's going to be below a buck. Did you ever hear that joke?

Reva and Christine, do you still need a second? I was going to consult with Tony I would get a little more specific Christine's still writing I'll leave it go ahead and reveal your answers Riva, hoof Christine

face, eye ducts. Tony, hooves. Randall, hoof. Spencer, toes, crossed out, hoof. Chester, eyes. Max, hoof. Brody, feet slash hooves. I had written down between

their toes, but I think that we will take basically anything below the knee. I'm so sorry. Can you raise your hand if you guys got that one right? Yeah. So if you had a part of the deer that lands below the... Sorry, keep your hands up.

Keep your hands up. Sorry. You taught me this, Tony. You can keep going, Giannis. The interdigital gland secretes a... I didn't write this. Yogurt-like oil that smells, as one author put it, an odor much like strong cheese with a touch of garlic or skunk.

Oh. Isn't that pleasant? I never really noticed that. I think it's any gland. This isn't the gland that you're supposed to cut off before... Tarsal. No, it literally is just right just above kind of where they're... Right above the digits.

Yeah, exactly. Between the digits. It's a digital. Deer use the scent left behind the interdigital glands to follow one another around. This could be a fawn

following its mother or a buck trailing a doe. Interestingly, the hound I hired last year to track a buck I wounded was actually following the scent left from those glands, not the blood trail, as I

thought, before I had hired a blood tracker dog. Did he find it? He did not. The buck lives on to this day. Oh, confirmed. Like, you've seen pictures? Yeah. Well, many months afterwards. I haven't seen him now that it's the next year of antler growth.

But yeah, he made it well into the winter with his antlers on. He's going to be a smart one this year. Yeah. And probably lopsided. Could be. We're on to question seven. This is the state a bear enters one to two months before hibernation. Damn it, Brody.

Brody is writing. Damn it, Giannis. Randall is writing. Yeah. Wait a minute. Ooh. Nah, I'm going to leave it. Before hibernation? Randall's giving me a nod

for those listeners out there that aren't watching this on the Meat Eater Podcast Network YouTube channel Giannis and I are exchanging knowing glances oh how'd you like that plug Phil? what do you know about? what do you guys know about? That was good, Ren. What do you guys know about?

He knows that I know. Okay. And I know that he knows that I know. I'll repeat the question. This is the state a bear enters one to two months before hibernation. I'm worried I'm confusing another term with this term.

And I think if I was writing this I would tell you this Like 17 letter Term or whatever Don't tell us that now Don't tell us that now We had a There was a short stint of a series Where we had

Hunting terms and words. Do you remember that? Hunter's glossary or something like that. And one of the first ones we did was this term here. Okay. Way before we ever hired Randall. Way before I even knew Randall existed. You've never heard of Randall?

When was this? Have you been living under a rock? Prior to 1986? Dr. Randall? I presume Christine, still thinking No, she's not thinking Riva, you're ready

Max? Max is not going to write an answer down Go ahead and reveal your answers Riva says feasting. Christine, hyperphagia. Tony, pre-hibernation. Randall, hyperphagia. Spencer, hyperphagia.

Chester says they eat a whole bunch. Max, no answer. And Brody, hyperphagia. The correct answer is hyperphagia. I was going to write salmon fever, but... Christine, you missed it by... That's a G. Oh, it is? Okay. It is now. Not a letter. You didn't miss it. I was worried

I was confusing with coprophagia, which is eating feces. Yeah. Good thing you didn't write that down. Spencer, I was also mildly worried it might be torpor. I think that's like the anti-hibernation. It's not a true hibernation.

Yeah, it's like a light sleeve. I didn't come across that during my research. Listen to these dorks. The other one I thought about was estivation, which I think is heat hibernation instead of cold hibernation. But I don't know that. Could be something for the future for this show. Too late now.

Yes, when bears go into hyperphagia, they'll feed up to 22 hours a day and gain up to 4 pounds per day in preparation of hibernation. 4 pounds a day. We've all been there. Yeah,ation. Four pounds a day. We've all been there.

Yeah, exactly. Eat a whole bunch. We're on to question eight. How many chambers are in an elk's stomach? Where's the waterfall softball or turkey softball? I'm just...

You're gonna become a big game hunter. I'm pretty good at gutting, so I don't know how many chambers are in there. I don't poke that stomach open. Spencer, I think I just came up with a good question for you. Oh, okay. You text it to me later, Maxwell. I think this depends on how many times you shoot it, Giannis.

We have a couple of folks have written numbers down. Max, you should just ask the question right now. Spin it right into the microphone, see who knows it. What's that? Max has a question for me for a future episode of Trivia, but I think you'll just give it to us right now.

Okay. How many tail feathers does a tom turkey have? for me for a future episode of trivia, but I think you'll just give it to us right now. Oh, okay. How many tail feathers does a tom turkey have? Eighteen. Eighteen. That's a... Yeah. Ben in the board game, Max. Yeah. I just... just thought of this. I haven't done a board game yet. Jeez. You don't have it all memorized yet?

No. Does anybody need more time? Okay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Reva says four. Christine, two. Tony, four. Randall, four.

Spencer, four. Chester, three. Max, five. I'm going too fast? Sorry. With my new fancy scoreboard, it takes me a second to get these in here. Tony, four. Randall, four. Spencer, four. Randall, four.

Spencer, four. Chester, three. Max, five. Brody, four. The correct answer is four. Elks are ruminants and have a four-chambered stomach. Ruminants are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting

it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion. The process typically requires the fermented ingesta, known as cud, to be regurgitated and chewed again. The process of chewing the cud to further break down plant matter

and stimulate digestion is called rumination. Good job. Poor chambered stomach answered, folks. All right. Are you guys cheating over there? No. That was question number eight, so we need another scoreboard update.

Phil? Yeah. Sorry, hold on. Give me a sec here. Nope. Phil's still working. You're doing great. Just take your time.

Riva, Max, Chester. Okay, I think this is right. Yeah, Riva, Chester, Christine, and Max are no longer in the running for the win. We've got Tony and Spencer with five, Randall with six, and Brody Henderson with seven points. We just saw the correct

answers. Come on, Tony. Kind of no surprises on that leaderboard. If we had to throw a count, how do you... Ouch, over here. I said the leader, leader, leader. You know, hey, listen.

I play against these guys all the time. It sucks. I'm always like, yeah, there I am. One behind Randall and Brody. All right. Question number nine.

Again. Again. I'm thinking it's soft. This action, also known as a lip curl, exposes the vomeronasal organ, which detects estrus in urine. What? Brody has an answer. I'll repeat the question.

This action, also known as a lip curl, exposes the vomeronasalal organ which detects estrus in urine. Trying to think like a deer. That's right. We've all seen videos, pictures of deer, elk. Giannis, I just want to make sure you know that you skipped a question. Oh, I did? You did. No way. You can just reorder it. It to make sure you know that you skipped a question. Oh, I did? You did. No way.

You can just reorder it. It's fine. Just do that one next. Okay. Unless your document's different than the one I'm looking at, but I don't think it is. That's all right. I like this order. Aren't we on number nine?

Nope. We are, but in the document I have, it's number 10. So if you change the order after you sent me the doc, I must not be working in like an active doc that you have open right now. It's fine. It's the one titled Trivia for Giannis. I have one titled Giannis Hosted Trivia. Oh, yeah.

That's the one that I originally made, but then we flipped it all over to the one that Spencer did. Oh, gotcha. Sorry. I think I'm reaching way back to the North American whitetail days. Tony, you got this one? I have the first part of one word. Oh, it's two words? That's enough chit-chat, boys.

I will accept a single word. I was wondering that yeah okay no that's not it do you guys need the question again yep yeah that's it

are you serious yeah hey help me out he's not helping he's only why are so many like deer and ungulate questions this time Hey, help me out. He's not helping. He's only... Why are so many deer and ungulate questions this time? Does she have it right?

No. Oh, okay. No. All right, let's go ahead and reveal our answers. I feel like this is like a 501 level deer. Reva says, Lip Smack. Christine, no answer. Tony, Fleming.

Randall, Sniffing. Spencer says, Flegum. I don't know. Chester, no answer. Max, Sniffing. And Brody says, Fleming Response. Brody's the only one that got it

exactly right. How do you spell it? I'll give it exactly right. Tony, I think. How do you spell it? I'll give it to him. Fleming, yeah. I think Tony gets it. It's F-L-E-H-M-E-N. And is sniffing part of this action? Yeah, have you seen them do it?

They do pull air, yeah, through. Yeah, I'd say sniffing covers it. Yeah, me too. But then Brody laughed at my answer when I showed him. No, because there's like a... Well, lip smack is closer. Sniffing is not known as a lip curl. Right.

Or a lip smack. I curl my lips when I sniff. Sometimes thought to be a posturing or aggressive move, the flamin' is actually just another way animals communicate through scent. Hunters most commonly see sheep, deer, and elk do it, but many others perform it as well, including horses, giraffes,

and cats. Phil? Scoreboard update. Here's the thing. Brody Henderson cannot be caught. Oh! Yeah, unless we'd taken sniffing. I gave that to Tony and Spencer,

but it doesn't matter anyway. Oh, it does matter. These are sure some softballs, Yanni. Read us the correct answer so far. I'll probably do better next time. Correct answer from the first nine

questions are Robert Ruark, 200 pounds, aluminum foil, old Dan and little Ann, Asabuco, between toes, Hyperfagia, four chambers, and the Flamin' Response.

If you give that last one to me, I have seven. Do you? I must have screwed up somewhere there. You should give Spencer. I thought you gave it to him. I mean, it was. I think I had like 65% of the letters there.

That'd be pretty generous. Go ahead and give it to him. Thank you, Brody. Brody likes to make it sporty. That way there is a chance here on the last question. Like a cat playing with a mouse. People are going to turn off otherwise. No, I don't think so because when I play this game,

I like to play to the end just because it's fun. See who gets the dough. Yeah. All right. Question number 10. You excited, Spencer? Don't be mad, okay? What is the oldest non-clonal living tree species in the U.S.?

I don't know what non-clonal means. This is the other one I thought would be a zero percenter. Brody knows this. Now I'm rethinking my answers. What is the oldest non-clonal living tree species in the U.S.? You want the number or the species? What do you mean? What? Like how old?

How many years? I would like the species. The name of a tree. I feel like this is what we're looking for. Spencer might know, and I might not. Well, I had a different answer until Phil said he thought he would be a zero percenter. Spencer, if you win, I still get to pick the chair. I wonder if Seth would get this.

Oh, yeah. There's a good chance. Do you know what non-clonal means, Brody? Yeah. Hmm. Oh, yeah. Do you know what non-clonal means, Brody? Yeah. I can even give you an example of the opposite afterwards. Okay. It's clonal. That's right.

That's right. Non-clonal. Does anybody need more time? Does that mean, I assume it's like they don't grow in clusters? I don't know. You're going to find out. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Reva says Redwood.

Christine, Redwood. Tony, Redwood. Randall, Sequoia. Spencer, Sequoia. Chester, Redwood. Max, American Elm. Brody, Redwood. We have a correct answer.

We do? No, I'm trying to put this properly. We have a... Phil was correct. Yes. In saying that it was going to be a zero percenter. That makes Brody our winner. The answer is...

Bristlecone pine. Oh, yeah. That was my next guess. Now tell me about the non-clonal thing. The bristlecone pine also happens to be the oldest non-clonal living tree species in the world. The oldest one resides in California's White Mountains

and is estimated to be around 5,000 years old. This tree germinated before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Its exact location is kept secret for its safety. The oldest clonal tree species are quaking aspens living in Utah and are estimated to be 80,000 years old. So those live in a colony? Is that the... Well, so the clonal species basically are all connected,

and they just shoot up from their roots. Sure. And, yeah, and not come from seeds. What's the tree you called again? The bristlecone pine. Yeah. There's a name for the very oldest one. You can find it on the picture.

It's not Sequoia. So Brody, as the winner, you get to choose where the $500 donation goes to. This is time of year I start doing a lot of fishing with my boys, so this is time of year I like to donate to TakeMeFishing.org

I think is what it is. It's not that. What do they promote? They promote going fishing, getting people out fishing. Education, I'm sure they may do some habitat work, but yeah, it's just getting people out on the

water. Alright, Brody's given it to TakeMeFishing.org. Hey, thanks, Spencer. That's the kind of ending you want in a game where it's like eight, some seven, sixes, some tws, sixes. That's right. Some twos, a zero.

Easier than last time, but not a gimme still. Kept us on our toes. Thank you all for playing. We'll give you the seat again in the future. Yeah, do I have to say anything else? No, well, just the tagline. Oh, yeah, and you wrote it down for me, and of course, hold on a second. Drumroll, please.

Put my fancy little glasses on here. Join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Nice job.
