Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Alyssa, Chili, Chester, Christine, Corey, Logan, Hansi, and Mackenzie. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat Eat, will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.

And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 123. That's how many combined games today's players have been in without ever winning. That's because this, this is a special show and one that we're calling the Jabroni Game. Let me explain. In professional wrestling, there used to be wrestlers whose job was to just show up and lose.

Those wrestlers would go city to city each night and collect a paycheck for getting pinned by these stars like Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. They were initially referred to as jobbers, but eventually the industry started calling them jabronis. The term became so popular that Dictionary.com even has a definition for it, which is, quote, a wrestler whose purpose is to lose matches in order to build up the status and fame of the headliners. So today we're celebrating the jabronis of Meat Eater Trivia, a collection of players who show up with a great attitude even though they know they'll never pin Brody or Randall or Steve.

But after today's game, one of them will earn their first victory. If it were wrestling, we would. You would? Yeah. I already pinned Steve once. Oh, okay. He tried wrestling me. So every time you send the invites out for the games before this, did you just go into that thinking, like,

oh, who do I want to lose today? No. Yeah, and I haven't gotten my paycheck for a while. Yeah, out of 123 games, I'm wondering where those 123 paychecks have gone. I could tell you Chester is responsible for 40 of those 123 games. So you're the biggest loser. To be fair to Chester, though.

Or the smallest loser. There you go. He'd win in wrestling, though. But Chester did win the Billings Live event, which was four questions. They were all about Montana for the purpose of today's show, though, Chester. Yeah, I kind of stopped like you know feeling bad oh yeah good before I just get defeated but as Alyssa pointed out you either know them or you don't and oftentimes I don't it's because you read all those reddit pages you can't you can't

read the reddit stuff yeah never do that Chester not a jabroni in wrestling but uh is in meat eater trivia so jabronis how do you feel about your chances today? Is it comforting to know that there's no Brody or Randall or Steve here? Or is there like more pressure now? I didn't know we were going to get insulted the whole time. Maybe not great about it. Okay, Logan doesn't feel great. I was more so nervous about coming in if I got the lowest score.

And it's like I'm the loser of the losers. I was fine until nervous about coming in if I got the lowest score. And it's like, I'm the loser of the losers. I was fine until Mackenzie said that. Well, Phil is usually kind enough to leave you off the leaderboard near the end of the game. Well, now we have a visual leaderboard, so it's even worse, actually. Now here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia- related question for our crew, send it to trivia at the media.com with the subject line.

I FAQ Rebecca wants to know, do the players have any rituals before games? Is there anything they do to study? Do they have preferred seats at the table? The seats at the table thing. There's always a people like tiptoe around what chairs they should take. Right. Cause I feel like Brody and Randall,

they kind of have their spots. Alyssa, you're in, I think a new spot for you take, right? Because I feel like Brody and Randall, they kind of have their spots. Alyssa, you're in, I think, a new spot for you today, right? I'm usually in here. Seth's in here. Pull that mic towards you, Alyssa. Okay. She's in Seth's chair. Yep, I'm in Seth's chair.

Mackenzie is taking Randall's chair. I think we've got Hansi over here in like Brody or Steve's chair. Does anybody do anything to study before meat eater trivia? No. I have before. I've looked at like maps of the Steve's chair. Does anybody do anything to study before meat eater trivia? No. I have before. I've looked at like maps of the river. Okay. Waterways.

Uh-huh. Hasn't helped me yet. What's like a weakness in your map looking at geography wise? Is it like East Coast? East Coast for sure. I know nothing about the East Coast. I think this room in general, meat eater trivia players in general in our Bozeman office.

Anything East of the Mississippi River. Yeah, it's irrelevant. Don't know much. Mountain men are also hard, too. Now, we have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, I asked a question about the genus of plants commonly used in food plots that includes turnips and radishes. The correct answer was brassicas, which I got from the National Deer Association. But about five listeners wrote in to correct me, saying that those are in the family brassica, not in the genus brassica. There is a brassica genus that includes turnips and radishes.

That includes turnips, but radishes are in the genus raffanus. So it's the brassica family that includes turnips and radishes, not the brassica genus. That mistake was a jabroni move by me. Now the Shelby Index for today is a 5, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play

the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one.

The topic is public lands, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these national parks gets the most visitors? Is it Yosemite, Crater Lake, Arches, or Big Bend? Which of these national parks gets the most visitors? Yosemite, Crater Lake, Arches, or Big Bend? It's not the most visitors of all the national parks. It's the most visitors of these four choices. Yosemite, Crater Lake, Arches, and Big Bend. Spencer, we were all curious before this round if you were going to take it easy on us today or if these are just the same questions.

I tried to get the Shelby Index to a five, and I accomplished that. So I'd say there may be slightly easier than normal but it's still a normal game of trivia if players score well they should still feel good about that does everybody have an answer yep yep go ahead and reveal your answers we have alissa and cory and christine and mckenzie the entire room says Yosemite. They got it. The correct answer is Yosemite. Can you imagine?

Yosemite is the sixth most popular national park in America with 4 million visitors each year. Arches is 21st with 1.5 million people. Crater Lake is 37th with 600,000 people. And Big Bend is 40th with 500,000 people. Crater Lake is 37th with 600,000 people and Big Bend is 40th with 500,000 people. The national park system had 325 million visitors in 2023. Has anybody been to those four national parks? Yosemite, Crater Lake,

Arches, Big Bend. I think I've been to them all. Was Yosemite as busy as the sixth busiest national park? Did it feel like that? It was really busy. I actually have a story about Yosemite. In college, I always wanted to go there.

And freshman year of college, the professor had a question. Every time you'd come in, he'd be like, I have a new question for you. And the question on the first day of class was, what national park do you want to visit on your bucket list? And I like oh i've always wanted to visit yazamite national park um and the next class the question was what's something you've learned that you didn't know before and i learned that yazamite is pronounced yosemite and then you went there and then i went there yeah and it was very busy to answer your question. Question two, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Jordan Simpson.

What Shawnee word means white rump and is often used as a synonym for elk? What Shawnee word means, quote, white rump and is often used as a synonym for elk. Chili must have really known this one. Chili and Chester and Corey are very confident. Logan, do you have this one right? I think so. Okay. Logan is confident as well. Hansi and the girls

not so much. What Shawnee word means white rump and is often used as a synonym for elk. I should hope Corey gets this one right. He's got an elk antler tattoo on his arm. Yeah, I'm working on getting an elk butt next.

Are you going to put the elk butt on your butt? I'm going to put it on my stomach. Former elk guy Corey should get this one. Belly button, you know. What Shawnee word means white grump and is often used as a synonym for elk. Is that your only tattoo, Corey? It is, yeah.

Are you going to add a second one ever, you think, or just sticking with the elk? I've always thought about it, but, I mean, nothing's come to me yet that I want to put on my body for the rest of my life. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa without an answer. I knew that.

Corey and Christine say Wapiti. Mackenzie says Stag. Chili, Logan, Chester, and Hansi say Wapiti. They got it. The correct answer is Wapiti. Early settlers often referred to elk as America's Red Deer, Canada Stag, Roundhorn Stag, and Stag of the Americas. They also called them by the Shawnee word Wapiti, as well as the name that eventually stuck, which is elk. Elk was the accepted name by the time Lewis and Clark set sail, which they referred to 570 times in their journals.

Does anybody know about the elk in Mongolia? Aren't they the only elk with the name Wapiti in its official name? I think there's a lot of confusion between North America and Europe. I think our elk are their moose. Our moose are their elk. Something like that is confusing. But both continents have messed each other up in the naming. Here's question three.

The topic is conservation. This next great question is via John Schlesinger. This conservation group is named after a wildlife artist who made 435 life-size paintings of North American birds. This is question three. The topic is conservation. This conservation group is named after a wildlife artist who made 435 life-size paintings of North American birds Alyssa do you have this one right okay you have it all right we're looking for the name of the conservation group and it's named after a wildlife artist who made 435

life-size paintings of North American birds Aly, the only one with an answer so far. I'm cruising for a bruising. This is not going to be good. Chester and Hansi joining Alyssa now with an answer. Need to tell me the name of the conservation group. Was this a fan submittal question? This is via John Schlesinger. Does that help you, Chip?

John Schlesinger. Should we cut it? No, it's good money. No, it does not. I just don't like it. Hansi, do you have this one right? Hansi and Chester are now comparing answers. Oh, and Logan saw something.

I didn't see it. Chester's board blocked mine, unfortunately. Okay, all right. Did you try to get a sneak, though? Do you boys agree with each other? Could you move that board just like that? Okay, Chester's nodding his head yes. Him and Hansi agree on the answer.

I don't know. This conservation group is named after a wildlife artist who made 435 life-size paintings of North American birds. Glad Randall's not in this room. It's got to be Bob Ross. Alyssa, Chester, and Hansi, the only folks with an answer. Just Bob Ross.

I don't even know. Spelling doesn't count, right? Spelling does not count. I don't even know. I'm usually pretty good at spelling. Corey, Christine, Chili, Logan, you're running out of time. Oh, yeah. You guys give up?

I'm, uh, yeah. When Christine is done writing, we will flip over the boards. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa saying Autobahn Society. Alyssa is a little bit dumb. Christine says Kelsey's Mom Foundation. No, no. Kelsey Morris.

Oh, Kelsey Morris Foundation. Okay. It does look like mom. Mackenzie says Autobahn Society. Chili without an answer. Logan without an answer. Chester says Autobahn. Is that the freeway in Germany that doesn't have a speed limit? Is that what that's called?

And Hansi says Autobahn Society. They got it and we'll give it to Chester for Autobahn. It's the National Autobahn Society. John James Autobahn is one of America's first and most prolific wildlife artists. His seminal work was painting 1,065 birds from 489 species for his The Birds of America collection. But the group that is named after him has distanced themselves from Audubon in recent years due to revelations that he committed academic fraud, plagiarism, and owned slaves. Question four.

The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Ali Spangler. The Spruce Eats describes this eight-letter word as a, quote, culinary technique that secures the bird's wings and legs tightly to its body using twine. The Spruce Eats describes this eight-letter word as a culinary technique that secures the bird's wings and legs tightly to its body using twine. This is question four. Spelling does not matter, but I've told you you need eight letters,

so hopefully your answer also has eight letters. Oh, my gosh. Hansi is confident. Logan, you have this one right. Potentially. You know when, like, a word comes in your head and you use it, and you're like, right Potentially You know when like a word Comes in your head And you use it

And you're like I don't really know Where that word came from But it's like in my head You think you've used This word before Hopefully this is The right word

Okay Hansi said that he has it right Right Hansi I think so Okay Hansi was saying Before the game of trivia That if there's ever

A topic of wine He will win He is a What is it A small yay Is that a No no I know I'd like to Pursue that someday But no that if there's ever a topic of wine, he will win. He is a, what is it, a sommelier? Is that a wine expert? No, no, I'd like to pursue that someday, but no, I'm just an amateur.

I'm just an amateur, yeah. You know a lot. We should host a meat eater wine tasting with Wild Game. Oh, wow. Have Hansi pair him. I won't say no. I am, yeah. That's a good idea.

The spruce eat describes this eight-letter word as a culinary technique that secures the bird's wings and legs tightly to its body using twine. I feel like this is so obvious, and I'm going to be so frustrated when we all turn over our boards. Can you tell me if over time the Shelby Index, as in, I guess, your wife's skills have gotten better, do you think? Gotten better. Good question.

I don't know. I feel like it's still accurate. Gotten better. She has the most exposure to my brain, so she'll know like when I just watched a documentary on whales or like some dish that I just made, you know made two weeks ago at home. So that gives her a big advantage. I don't know that she's gotten better. I would say she's still just as good, and the Shelby Index is still just as accurate.

Do you have the same amount of leniency with her answers as you do, like Randall's or Brody's? Oh, more, yeah. I mean, she gets half points. No one in the podcast studio has ever received a half point. So, yes, she has more leniency. How much time do you give her? She takes her time.

But oftentimes she knows that she's not going to know it. And so we move on very quickly. So she'll just give a frustrated answer in that sense. That's how I feel right now. Is everybody ready? I know. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa saying spatchcock.

This is upside down again, Alyssa. Corey saying straitjacket. Christine and Mackenzie and Chili without an answer. Logan says trussing. Chester, without an answer. Hansi says trussing. The correct answer says trussing. Chester, without an answer. Hansi says trussing. The correct answer is trussing.

Logan and Hansi got it right. Can we give a half point to Corey for straight jacket? It sounds so right. The purpose of trussing a piece of meat is to help it cook more evenly. It's a commonly used technique when cooking

turkeys, ducks, geese, and roasts. For a venison recipe that needs trussing, watch Cal's video on TheMeatEater.com called How to Make a French Cut Venison Rib Roast. Question 5. The topic is fishing. A backlash

of tangled line in a baitcaster reel is often referred to by this two-word nickname. I get a lot of those. Okay. Alyssa is familiar with the nickname for a backlash of tangled line in a baitcaster reel. That's referred to by this two-word nickname. Chester, do you have this one right? Yes. Okay.

Chester and Alyssa are confident. Hansi, you have this one right. Corey looks like he has it right. Chili, you got this one? I believe so. Not a big fish. Do you have this one though? Hopefully.

Okay. Alyssa blanks. Who refers to you by that? My husband. Okay. I feel like it's not refers to you by that? My husband. Okay. I feel like it's not limited to just a bait casting reel, but I don't want to throw it. That's where it's maybe the most prolific, though. Sure, sure.

These bait casters are tough, man. Let's mess this up. A backlash of tangled line in a bait caster reel is often referred to by this two-word nickname. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer. I'm fly fishing. Am I really? You've had one before.

Maybe not. I should know this. Everyone's had it. You've picked up a fly rod. Yeah, that's when it usually happens. Chester and Corey are applying some pressure to Willis or Mackenzie. Those are great.

I feel like that's what my dad called it growing up. Is everybody ready? Send it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa. Alyssa, yours is upside down yet again. I'm saying bird's nest. Corey's saying rat's nest.

Christine's saying bad snag Mackenzie says shit show Chili says birds nest Logan says rats nest Chester birds nest Hansi birds nest the correct answers are birds nest or rats nest

we'll give it to you for either one I'd like to thank my dad for never calling it the correct name and just cussing through it. A bird's nest occurs while casting when your lure slows down, but the spool keeps spinning. Usually it's the result of user error, but can sometimes be a mechanical issue due to a faulty drag or break. Although some bird's nests can be fixed by pulling the line or reeling the line, they often require some nifty knife work. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a scoreboard update. I don't want to know. Oops. Hold on here. There we are. All right. Hey, everyone's doing pretty well. We got Christine and Mackenzie at two points apiece.

Alyssa, Corey, and Chili have three. Logan and Chester have four. And in first place with a perfect game, it's Hansi. We saw that coming. All right. One of us is going to win here. Yes, Jeff, obviously. Good call.

Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes.

The topic is cooking. What's the Greek yogurt-based dip that's made with cucumber, garlic, lemon, dill, and mint? Spelling counts.

Spelling does not count. This is question six. The topic is cooking. What's the Greek yogurt-based dip that's made with cucumber, garlic, lemon, dill, and mint? Corey, in your guiding days, did you see some bad rat's nests on your boat? Oh, for sure, yeah. But I was just a fly fishing guide, so that's where I meant. I mean, it happens in all types of fishing.

For sure. Happens a lot at the end of the rod on a fly rod, I feel like. Just a ball of. Yep. I got one on Sunday. Yeah. How'd that end? You know, like all bird's nests end with some clipping.

Okay. Yeah. Rat's nest. Yeah. I'd like to know the average amount of time that everyone spends on it before they just clip it. Or if anyone's gotten to the point where they're just smart enough to clip it before even trying. Sometimes you're just like locked into trying before. Even though you know the answer,

you just are frustrated. Maybe this is going to be the time that I get it right. Yeah. Yeah. You want to throw me a bone here? I think we saw a few rat's nests in here and bird's nests. Maybe there's some

geography involved. I've never heard bird's nests. I've never heard rat's nest either. What's the Greek yogurt-based dip that's made with cucumber, garlic, lemon, dill, and mint? Looks like Hansi will keep the perfect game going. Chili and Chester, not as confident. Do you boys give up? I feel like I'm going to be kicking myself at this.

I believe it's a cucumber, garlic, lemon, dill, and mint sauce. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa with her board upside down. I think the fifth question in a row. Corey, Christine, Mackenzie saying Tziki. We have Chili and Chester without an answer. Logan says Tahini.

Hansi says Tziki. The correct answer is Tziki. We're not going to give it to Logan. Tahini is very different. Isn't that like a spice that you rub on like a margarine? It's like a sesame seed-based paste. Can we clarify the real spelling? The spelling is, and you guys watch your boards

who tell me if you got it right, T-Z-A-T-Z-I-K-I. Do I get an extra point for that? You don't get an extra point, but we'll give you a pat on the back. I'll give myself a hat. We get special points. Mackenzie and Hansi spelled it right.

Alyssa, did you spell it right as well? I did not. I was missing that second piece. Okay. I think Alyssa's five for five on her board being upside down. Yeah, once, but come on. Tzatziki was invented by the Ottoman Empire hundreds of years ago. According to one Greek chef, more garlic in Greece is used

to make tzatziki than any other dish in the nation's cuisine for a recipe that uses it check out Danielle Pruitt's article on TheMeatEater.com called venison smash euros question 7 the topic is hunting this next great question is via Nick Dobrik what state requires non-residents to have a guide when hunting big game in designated wilderness areas? Hopefully it's right. What state requires non-residents to have a guide when hunting big game

in designated wilderness areas? Many of our players look confident, but not Hansi, who has a perfect game through six questions. Time to crash and burn, Hansi. Hansi, I can't wait them all. We're going down. Do you know this one, or are you just going to be making a guess? I'm guessing.

What state requires non-residents to have a guide when hunting big game in designated wilderness areas? A fairly confident room. Mackenzie said she knows this one. Chili, you know this one? I believe so. I read it in a book somewhere. Chester, Corey, also confident.

Christine, do you have this one right? Right? Yeah, do you have this one? Probably not, no. Okay. No. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Alyssa saying Alaska. Corey says Wyoming. Christine, Alaska. Mackenzie, Wyoming. Chili, Alaska. Logan, Alaska. Chester, Alaska. Hansi, Alaska.

The correct answer is Wyoming. No way. And Mackenzie and Corey get that one right. Hansi's perfect game is gone. Wyoming has 14 wilderness areas totaling more than 3 million acres of public land. A non-resident can hike, camp, and fish these areas on their own. But if they're hunting, they're required to be with a guide or resident companion. Brody Henderson declared it one of America's worst game laws in a

2019 article titled, The West's Worst Hunting Law, which you can read on TheMeatEater.com. Question eight, the topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Derek and Tosh for setting this great question. Derek 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. What's the common name for decompression sickness, which can happen to spear fishermen who rise from deep water too quickly? This is question eight. The topic is fishing, and it's our listener question of the week.

What's the common name for decompression sickness, which can happen to spear fishermen who rise from deep water too quickly? Has anyone in here ever had that? I don't think we have a lot of spear fishermen in this room. Maybe Chile. We got the old South Dakota Wahoo a couple weeks ago. For those of you who don't know, that's the Barracuda.

That was your first time spearfishing? Huh? Was that your first time spearfishing? Are you okay? I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it. You've witnessed somebody have decompression sickness. And how did that go?

Cal. Okay. Was he just lightheaded and it was all fine? Basically, not there for just a little bit. But it wasn't bad. How long did it take for him to come back to normal? Not long. He's to come back to normal? Not long. He's still not back to normal.

To this day, we're still waiting. It's kind of weird. What's the common name? Yeah, normal began with. What's the common name for decompression sickness which can happen to spear fishermen who rise from deep water too quickly? Is everybody ready?

Nope. Oh, Chili, the only certified spear fisherman in the room, may not have this one. I just do things, okay? I don't know names. There's other things. I don't know. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Alyssa saying death. Corey and Christine and Mackenzie say the bends. Chili without an answer. Logan and Chester and Hansi saying the bends. They got it. The correct answer is the bends or barotrauma. And how do you spell it?

B-E-D-S B-E-N-D-S I know myself pretty well and that's not something that I would know. I just don't see myself ever having to retain that. The bends is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when dissolved gases form bubbles in your bloodstream during rapid decompression.

It happens when someone moves quickly from an area of high pressure to low pressure, such as a diver coming to the surface too fast, or when flying in an unpressurized aircraft, it's estimated that about a dozen people die each year from barotrauma. Phil, we have two questions

left. Give us a leaderboard update. I should have been prepared for this. Here we go. Whoop. All right. Shit. Chili, here in last place with three points. Thanks, y'all. I'm so sorry.

Alyssa, Christine, you have four. Mackenzie and Logan and Chester all have five points apiece. Corey has six and still in first place with seven points. It's Hansi. Hansi. What a killer. Two questions left. I just got to get my duvet.

We need Hansi to slip up. We have a few players left in the game. Here's question nine. The topic is conservation. The Natural History Museum describes the 160-mile demilitarized zone between these two countries as a, quote, haven for rare animals. Huh? Your answer will be two countries. The Natural History Museum describes the 160-mile demilitarized zone

between these two countries as a haven for rare animals. So your answer will be two countries. Chile looks very confident. Yeah, most confident I've ever been, Cotton. Okay. Really? The Natural History Museum. There's a hit from Chile. Oh, shit.

Sorry. The Natural History Museum describes the 160 mile demilitarized zone between these two countries as, quote, a haven for rare animals. Chili is confident he's the only one.

Corey has joined him with an answer. Corey, do you think you have this one right? It's a really good guess. Okay, we need Corey to have a really good guess and get this one right. We need Hansi to get it wrong to tie them up going into our final question. Or we could have Hansi get the last two wrong and we have a handful of players with five points who could come back and catch him as well.

That would be kind of fun. There's definitely different ways you could phrase this question. Chili, you don't need to help out your players anymore here. Spencer, let him go on, please. Well, okay, I'll cover it up. Okay. The Natural History Museum describes the 160-mile demilitarized zone between these two countries as a haven for rare animals. The topic is conservation. This is question nine.

And Chili's been there. Chili says he's been to one of these places. It's classified. I don't even know if these two countries border each other. Okay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa saying Russia. I don't even want to show mine.

Corey says North and South Korea. Christine says North and South Korea. Christine says North and South Korea. I think they're very far apart. Mackenzie says Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. Chili says North Korea, South Korea. Logan, North Korea, South Korea. Chester says Russia and USA. I had to show it.

Hansi says North and South Korea. The two countries are North Korea and South Korea. So our players did pretty well. The Korean DMZ was established in 1953 as a buffer between the two feuding countries. The area that's 160 miles long and two and a half miles wide is largely void of humans, which has in turn made it a wildlife sanctuary. It's estimated that over 100 endangered species live in this strip of land, including musk deer, Manchurian trout, red-crowned cranes, Korean fox, and according to some reports, the Siberian tiger and a

moor leopard. Chili, what do you have to tell us about South Korea and North Korea and their border? Well, yeah, I think if... Well, a lot of people got the question right, but if you would have said DMZ, I think more people would have got the question right. But you also could refer to the DMZ as the 38th parallel, which

is the same spot. That's the same line, but they refer to it as the 38th parallel. I think we same spot. That's the same line, but it's 38th parallel. I think we had five players get it right. Well, for all you losers at home, they're going to get that wrong. I still would not have it. Now, here's an answer review for our listeners at home. One was Yosemite. Two, Wapiti.

Three, National Audubon Society. Four, Trussing. Five, Bird's Nest or Rat's Nest. Six, Tzatziki. Seven, Wyoming. Eight, The Benz. And nine, North and South Korea. Question 10, we have Hansi leading Corey by one.

They are the only players left in the game. Question 10, the topic is gear. What does M-O-A stand for for as in a scopes moa oh no again we need cory to get this right hansi to get this wrong to face to force overtime hansi time. Hansi with eight correct answers. Corey with seven. The topic is gear. What does M O A stand for? We should shot more rifles now, don't you? As in a sketch. M O A. Corey, do you have this

one right? Yeah, I do. Oh, Corey has it right, Hansi. We're going to need you to have a good guess for what M O A stands for. Chili is also confident, as well as Chester and Logan. Alyssa, do you have this one right as well? No.

Okay. I was pretty confident. What's that board say, Eric? Suck it, Chili. Hansi, how are we doing over here? M-O-A. Logan, are you just naturally tan like that? I spend a lot of time in the sun.

Jealous. Just wondering how hard I've got to try right now. Hansi, how are we doing? Not great, Spencer. Not great. Hansi, have you been to overtime before? Kind of. Okay, it was to qualify for the Meteor Trivia Championship.

I think that was kind of. Corey, have you been to overtime before? Yes, I have. You have, okay. Do you remember the question? Do you remember where you came up at? I don't remember the question at all, but I got it right. Oh, you got it?

Yeah, to put me into the championship round of the tournament. Okay, so you've both been to overtime. Then I think I lost. To qualify for the Meat Eater Trivia Championship in 2023. Yep. What does MOA stand for? Do you give up, Hansi? Yeah, I do.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa saying measure of accuracy. Corey, minute of angle. Christine, miles over accuracy. Mackenzie, median ocular adjustment. Chili, minutes of angle. Logan and Chester, minutes of angle. Hansi says mils over angle. The correct answer is minute of angle. Hansi says Mills over angle.

The correct answer is minute of angle. That means we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker. If you ain't first, you're last. I think just cut it at, if you ain't first, you're last, and then go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it.

Hey, Phil, f*** off, man. Hansi and Corey going into overtime with eight correct answers your last and then like go into other stuff that's funny i never liked it hey phil off man hansi and cory going into overtime with eight correct answers this will be a numerical question whoever is closest between the two of you will be declared the winner but the other six players will still come up with an answer in case somebody gets it right on the nose then me will add an extra 100 donation at the end of the game. The tie-breaking topic is hunting. What's the most beards on a turkey that's entered in the National Wild Turkey Federation record books? What's the most beards on a turkey

that's entered in the NWTF record books? Down to Corey and Hansi. This is so specific. It's anybody's game. Hansi's like, no, it's mine. Corey, how many turkeys have you killed in your day? Two. Two.

Okay. Hansi, how many have you killed? Four. All right. Advantage Hansi then for this question, which is how many beards, the most beards on a turkey that's entered in the NWTF record books. The closest between Corey and Hansi will be declared the winner. Corey is rethinking his answer.

He's erased the entire answer. What's the most of anyone in this room? Go with your gut. Two. Two. Three. Three. Really?

Mm-hmm. Oh, now I'm changing my answer. Is everybody ready? Wait, what was that last question? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Chester's changing his answer. Okay.

Oh, and Chili changing his answer. If we sit here much longer, everyone's going to change their answer. I feel like they keep... Okay, Alyssa's going to be the last one to change her answer. And then we're... You know what? Just kidding. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Alyssa saying five. Christine, four. Mackenzie saying five. Christine, four. Mackenzie, six. Chili, five. Logan, four. Chester, nine. There are two players left. Hansi says five.

Corey says four. Oh, my gosh. The correct answer is 13, making Hansi our winner. Do you have a picture of that, Chester? I don't have a picture of that, but I think you can see it on the NWTF website. That gobbler was killed by an 11-year-old in Pennsylvania in 2017. The longest beard was 10 inches. Of course it was.

A child. Can we get a scoreboard up here? Nice job, Chester. 13 beards. Hansi is our winner. Hansi, you get to choose. With a $500 donation from MeDeederGoes, what's it going to be? No.

Can you remind me what the options are? Any conservation group that you know folks who listen to this podcast hunters fishers and anglers uh would enjoy could be anything that supports public lands that is uh pro hunting that likes to give fishermen access you got lots of choices out there hansi and if you don't come up with anything by default you You can just give it to the Meat Eater Land Access Initiative, which does all of the above. No, I got this. I just started drafting my duck camp email

for the same group of folks that come out every year and go duck hunting. And so I'm going to go Delta Waterfowl. Delta Waterfowl. Because it's on my mind and they do some good stuff. How big is the duck camp going to be in 2024, you think? It varies, but it's been as small as two and as big as like 15. So every year is a little bit different, but I'd say average is like seven.

I would be extremely confident that Hansi is a great duck camp host. I like hosting duck camp. Yeah. I wouldn't say I'm good at it, but I do like it. Now you can tell those folks in your email that you won Meat Eater Trivia and you're no longer a jabroni and you gave $500

to Delta Waterfowl. Can I go back to being a jabroni if I get a check for being one? Does not work. Our other seven players, though, will be here next time that we have a jabroni episode. We'll still have a chance. Join us next time

for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down. And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
