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 Yanni, Brody, Randall, Seth, Alyssa, Tressa, Anthony, and Max. This is a 10-round quiz show with Meat Eaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the odds of a

game of Meat Eater trivia going to double overtime. In 128 shows, we've had one game go to double overtime, which happened just a few episodes ago. That means the odds of that happening in any given game are just 0.8%. Those odds are similar to the odds that sportsbooks have placed on the Tennessee Titans or Washington Commanders winning the Super Bowl this year, or it's similar to your chance of drawing a mule deer tag on the Arizona Strip with zero points or similar to your chances of getting in a car accident for every 2,000 miles you drive. So that's all to say, don't expect another double overtime game

until the year 2027. That episode hasn't come out yet. You guys haven't even heard that one. I've been waiting for to hear the drop. Oh, it's really special. Yeah. We had a couple episodes ago, double overtime. We needed a second tiebreaker to determine

the winner. Yeah, can't wait for you to hear it, man. Now here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themeateater.com with the subject line IFAQ. Ryan Soares wants to know, you've had

questions about zoos and aquariums before, so I thought I'd write in. I work for an association of zoos and aquariums accredited facility, and I'm curious what the crew thinks of zoos. AZA is like the gold standard of zoos and aquariums, and there are many in-between levels of zoos that get you to the crummy roadside zoos and personal collections. What does the crew think of zoos? Randall, I know your answer. Go ahead. Randall, what do you think? Big zoo guy.

Huge zoo guy. One, you can go see large primates, great apes, and just sit there and have your mind blown for a bit. I basically love spectacle of all sorts, and you can go to a zoo and see things that blow your mind. What's the last zoo you were at? It was either Clay and I went to the Oregon Zoo on the live tour, and we looked at a mountain goat. Oh, yeah, that inspired him to go kill that mountain goat. Going to a zoo and looking at black bears with Clay Newcomb is a real treat.

I will say that. But it was a fabulous zoo. Yeah. I've also recently been to the Phoenix Zoo. That was about a month before that. I'm trying to think there was. Reno, what's the best zoo in the country? The Columbus Zoo.

There you go. Actually, no, I take that back. I've been to the Cincinnati Zoo most recently. I went there in June. And that is a phenomenal zoo. Not as good as Columbus. What's the craziest thing you've seen in a zoo? I mean, at the Cincinnati Zoo, it was pretty surreal to go see where the whole Harambe thing went down.

Oh, wow. I didn't even think of that. Is there anything that memorializes that when you're there? I'm surprised that they draw any amount of attention to that. For those that don't know, what's the Harambe thing? Harambe was a gorilla that a child fell into the enclosure and Harambe got shot somewhat unceremoniously in front of. Have you seen videos of it, Giannis?

Yeah, when he grabbed the kid by the ankle. Yeah, yeah. But the Cincinnati Zoo has a phenomenal gorilla program in fact when i was a small child you could adopt one of the animals at the zoo and i adopted a uh gorilla baby it was female i don't remember the name you brought it harambe no no you just like paid 25 and they're like this buys some some fruits maybe it was donations and no it wasn't it wasn't female It's been a while I just had a nice aquarium

But it's been a while Which aquarium It was in Charleston South Carolina Yanni We went to some I don't know if it was a zoo It was in Denver The Denver Zoo There's also the Denver Aquarium Oh you know what else we went to some, I don't know if it was a zoo. It was in Denver. And they had- The Denver Zoo? There's also the Denver Aquarium.

Oh, you know what else we went to? A Serpitarium, which had all kinds of snakes and alligators. And that place was cool, too. I actually think it was like a terrarium, but they just happened to have some cats also. Does that sound like something they might do? The Denver Aquarium is a little weird. They have like a restaurant in there you can eat at you can meet the animals if you like but then they also have the Denver Zoo which is just your tradition the

aquarium ever have terrestrials I don't know I think I think they have some on the Yelp reviews talk about how sad like the Tigers in there are oh well that's exactly where we were the Tigers that did it close to downtown. It's the emotion of the tigers that did it. That's the taste that's stuck in my mouth regarding zoos. But I do have the, I read an article in the New Yorker once about, I think

it was in Denmark. There was a giraffe. There were too many giraffes in zoos. And word got out that this giraffe was just going to get put down and be used in a class for autopsy purposes. And all these Californians, I don't know, probably on both coasts of this great country of ours,

they were trying to raise, they had millions of dollars raised to save this giraffe from going through that, you know, ending its life and being dissected basically and that zoo over in Denmark was like no it is more important for us to use this for science to produce more vets more zoologists more whatever then then do you say oh you saved one giraffe and now it has to live in some cage somewhere you you know? Yeah. And so a lot of props to that zoo over there. To be fair, whether they're living in a cage or not, like zoos do provide- A lot of conservation.

Very important place for like endangered animals. Oh, yeah. And I will say like on a serious note, it's crazy going to a zoo. Like when you walk up on an elk that you've shot and you're like looking at the muscles and how it all goes. You go to a zoo and you look at some animal that you're not familiar with and just look at the musculature and look at just how big they are it gets me going yeah yeah i love you specifically just to like kids have a place to go look at cool animals i don't know if i'd be working here if i like wasn't inspired by zoos and aquariums when i was a kid i remember we went to a zoo in elementary school um the sioux falls even then we went to a zoo in elementary school,

the Sioux Falls Zoo, and then we had to write about our favorite animal afterwards. My favorite animal wasn't part of the zoo. It was walking over the bridge. There was a creek and there were carp down there that were spawning, and that was my favorite animal that I wrote about, and the teacher wasn't very understanding. I was going to say, it sounds like you didn't fulfill the assignment. Yeah, there we are.

We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous episode of Trivia, we had a question about the kayak maker who's named after the city in Maine where they're made. The answer was Old Town, which made some players and listeners mad. The first thing they were upset about was that I said kayak maker instead of canoe maker. Those folks argued that since their name is Old Town Canoes, it was a trick question, but that's not their name. Their official name is just Old Town.

Further, their website URL is oldtownwatercraft.com, and the first thing in their navigation menu is kayaks, and their second thing is canoes. Also, they have 52 different kayaks that they sell on their website compared to just 12 canoes. And finally, of their six best-selling watercrafts, five of them are kayaks. Yeah, F them up, Spencer. Come on, you were using a little sleight of hand there, Spencer. Now, the other problem people had was that I said the brand was named after a city instead of a town. Old Town's population is 7,500 people, which by most definitions makes them a city.

But admittedly, I was on the fence when I was writing this question, but elected to go with the word city instead of town after going to Old Town's official website. On their website, in giant 72-point font at the top of the page, it says City of Old Town, Maine. Also, their first drop-down menu item says Our City, and in about a dozen other places on Old Town's website navigation, they refer to themselves as a city. So, in summary, they sell more kayaks than canoes and are a city, so suck that, Mark Kenyon. Got him. Now we know. You got him. That was just as good as Kendrick and Drake right there.

It's still a canoe. Canoe man. Listen, if they're not, they sell more kayaks. Yeah, today, this year. But you didn't give us any stats from 1978. Well, it's 2024, Yanni. Now, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. On to the game of trivia.

Play the draft, Phil. Here we go. I need to know what I stand to win. How's that? You stand to win everything. How's that? You just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers! Max playing the remix over there with some extra base. Question one.

The topic is wildlife. Of these states, which had the fewest shark attacks between 2013 and 2022? Is it Mississippi, New York, Massachusetts, or Georgia? Oh, I should know this. Why should you know this? Just kidding.

Of these states, which had the fewest shark attacks between 2013 and 2022? Mississippi, New York, Massachusetts, or Georgia? Seth, the quickest to answer. Seth, you got an educated guess or an uneducated guess over here? No, I just picked the thing that made the most sense in my brain, which oftentimes doesn't make sense to the rest of the world. Which state had the fewest shark attacks in the 10-year span of 2013 to 2022? Mississippi, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia.

Is everybody ready, Brody? No, man. Let's chat about this for a while. Let's keep it going. Keep it going. Waiting on Alyssa and Brody. Just pick one, Brody. Yeah, if you listened to last week's episode,

these are the moments that I cut out of the podcast before we did video. No longer. You guys get the whole thing. We used to let these things go forever, mostly because you were thinking. Sometimes you got to think. Alyssa, are you ready? I'm ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Seth saying New York, Anthony, Mississippi, Max, Massachusetts, Randall, New York, Alyssa, Massachusetts, Tressa, Georgia, Yanni, Mississippi, Brody, Mississippi. Everybody picked one of the four choices. So we got a correct answer. We have a correct answer in the room. Intriguing. Good job, Max. It's Mississippi. Everybody picked one of the four choices. So we got a correct answer. We have a correct answer in the room. Intriguing. It's Mississippi. I think we had three folks get that one right.

Three of the eight. New York had the most from that list, ranking sixth in the nation with 11 shark attacks. Georgia had five, Massachusetts had three, and Mississippi had one. Other states with a single shark attack in that 10-year span were Louisiana, Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Maine. Question two.

The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Sam Wyrick. What three-word phrase refers to the fishing motion when you make a topwater lure dart side to side to resemble a wounded baitfish? What three-word phrase refers to the fishing motion when you make a topwater lure dart side to side to resemble a wounded baitfish? Brody and Seth, I think they have this one right. Rest of the room, not so confident. It jumped into my head real quick, so I'm hoping. Come on, Max.

Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? Pretty good. Okay. Yanni, Seth, Brody, confident? Max's new father-in-law is a world-renowned walleye guide in the Midwest, so he's got to make him proud here.

Let's see what he does. Okay, Maxwell, a lot of pressure. Is that right? Yeah. He's a world-renowned walleye guide? I would say Minnesota. Seth said that he followed Max's father-in-law on Instagram before he ever knew the relationship between the two of them.

True story. Wow. Have you fished with him? Oh, yeah. And? And what? Does he put you on some fish? Yeah, all the time.

He's as good as they say. I think I'm cursed on the lake that he likes to fish the most. What's his lake of choice? Can you say it or is that telling us too much? Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it. He makes a living on it. Yeah. It's Gull Lake in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Nisswa, Minnesota. He's got a kick on it. Yeah. It's Gull Lake in Brainerd, Minnesota. Nisswa, Minnesota. He's got a kick-ass pontoon that he can fish like 13 out of. So he takes all these big family trips. Party board. Yeah. And it's really cool to see. He puts Max on the fish so you know he's good. Again, question two.

I still think I'm going to get this wrong. Three-word phrase refers to the fishing motion when you make a topwater lure dart side to side to resemble a wounded baitfish. Is everybody ready? Oh! Oh! No, Giannis just showed his answer. Yes, he did.

No, he didn't. He literally showed his board to the side of the table. I didn't see it. Anthony didn't see it. I think both things are true. Yanni did show his whiteboard, but Max did not see it. Let's look at the video first.

You get away the lake, then you cheat. Oh, yeah, replay. Show the replay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying, walking the dog. Anthony, what's that say? Skate a top. Skate a top.

Max, walk the dog. Randall, herkinjerk. Alyssa, without an answer. Tressa, shuffle a little. Giannis, walking the dog. Brody, walking the dog. The correct answer is walking the dog About half of the room. Yeah, I was I first had written down you cheat or not

No, I did not from now on the motion this Should not be allowed Twitch and pause down Randall is 0 for 2. Now to properly walk the dog, to properly walk the dog, you should keep your rod tip low and then flick your wrist while retrieving the lure.

It's a popular fishing technique among bass, muskie, and tarpon anglers here's a video a friend of the show Brandon pollinick catching two fish at once while walking the dog during a 2022 Elite Series competition play the clip Phil we do have a camera with Keith combs not sure his right now, but it's been a little bit of sketchy service down in Pool 9. I think it was Cole. Pool 9 is on the Mississippi, correct?

I wanted to see more action before he caught the fish. Uh-oh. I got two. Spencer, you didn't even show the walking the dog part. Well, I don't have control over Bassmaster's library of videos. Look at the hat he's wearing

right there. Yeah, nice hat. Oh, is it the same? There you go. Yeah, BP. It's not bad. That's right. No wonder he looks so big. Caught that walking the dog. Of the year. Spencer, I was musky fishing three,

four weeks ago, and we were walking the dog for a few hours did it work no not that time but i did end up catching one but on something else well you're doing that three weeks ago and you you almost didn't get it four weeks ago well he was calling it something different then until he saw yannis's board question three the topic is natural history. What is the name of the New York Times bestseller about Lewis and Clark that was written by Stephen Ambrose? Brody and Randall appear to know this. They work in publishing. Alyssa and Seth joining them with answers.

They work outside of publishing. I don't know this one. What is the name of the New York Times bestseller about Lewis and Clark that was written by Stephen Ambrose? Seth, have you read this? I have it on my bookshelf. I bet you do. I haven't read it yet. I think it's on my bookshelf, though.

Or your audio bookshelf. Oh, wow. Giving some hints to Yanni here. Randall, have you read this? Is that a hint? Yes. I mean, he said it's on your bookshelf. Oh, wow. Giving some hints to Yanni here. Randall, have you read this? Is that a hint? Yes. I mean, he said it's on your bookshelf. Hey, Giannis. No, I said that it probably is. Randall,

no one is going to take an answer and then use it. It seems like what just happened. It did not. I moved on. You gotta look back at the cameras. I was watching you. You were struck. You had an epiphany. The very same moment that Yana showed his board to this side of the table

and Seth nodded affirmatively. I don't think Max is good enough of an actor to pull that reaction off. I think that was legitimate. Now, we found out he doesn't like to do dishes here at the office. I don't think he's cheating. That'll be clear. This was an off-air conversation. Some of your colleagues ratted you out in the last round, man.

Really? There was an off-air conversation about some dishes not being done. And Brody has just informed. But you're not a cheater. So I will admit, sometimes when I eat lunch, I leave my dishes on my desk. But I've never leave them in the sink. Well, we'll let you sort it out with those people upstairs. Okay.

Don't look at me. There was another name that came up too, Max. There were two suspects. Interesting. And I'll say you were suspect 1B. There was a shitload of dishes at the beginning of the week, though, in that sink. Yeah, there was a lot. It was horrible.

Yeah, Val did them all this morning. See, I gave you some extra time, Giannis. That's horrible. That's not right. Horrible. No dishes, you cheat. I've only got one word, though. Give away the best lakes for fishing.

Mm-hmm. Spot burner Max. That's what they call it. Spot burner Max. I have a tough round, Max. Spot burner Max That's what they call it Spot burner Max What is the name of the New York Times bestseller About Lewis and Clark That was written by Stephen Ambrose Who was in last game

You're just gonna have to listen Maybe it wasn't last game Maybe it was right before you walked in the room here I will say this individually, I actually acknowledge that you do your dishes at the end of the day, and so some might mistake that for not doing your dishes.

Huh. Interesting. So don't feel interested. We're launching a full investigation, Max, and if you are innocent, your name will be cleared. Yeah, we've got the fish thief team on the job, so they'll run a DNA on all the forks. There's actually, I just had lunch before this, and there is a plate on my desk right now.

I will say that. Okay. The evidence is mounting. The dishes on your desk isn't the problem. Yeah. Yeah. It shouldn't be. But if it is...

It's the dishes in the problem. Yeah. Yeah. It shouldn't be. But if it is... It's the dishes in the sink. Is everybody ready for the best-selling Lewis and Clark book? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying undaunting courage. Oh, yeah.

Good job. Anthony says Sacagawea. Max, Oregon Trail. Randall, undaunted courage. Randall, Undaunted Courage. Alyssa, Undaunted Courage. Tressa, Undaunted Courage. Giannis, Journey. Brody, Undaunted Courage.

The correct answer is Undaunted Courage. I'm sorry, Seth. I don't think we're going to give it to him. I knew it. I think we should give it to him. Does the room want to give it to him? I think we should give it to him. We're going to give it to Seth.

I had a feeling Spencer was going to try to pull that shit. Listen, Seth, I like to take the temperature of the room and I assumed with this group of folks that they were not going to give it to you. If it was Max, it would be different. I noticed that you pronounced of the room and I assumed with this group of folks that they were not going to give it to you and I was wrong. I noticed that you pronounced every single

syllable of what Seth had written so I thought there might be some... Undaunted Courage or if you said Undaunting Courage take that as well. Undaunted Courage was published in 1997 and sold over 200,000 copies in the first month.

A television series based on the book was launched by HBO in 2014. Some names attached to it were Casey Affleck, Tom Hanks, Ed Norton, and Brad Pitt. The show began filming in Manitoba in May of 2015, but halted just two months later. Reports said the director and cinematographer left the project due to creative differences and the production was totally cancelled by HBO in February of 2016 one of the great tragedies of our time and I say this with a lot of confidence that would be my favorite TV show Ever if they made it You know a lot of folks would be like I'd pay money to see that HBO

I would pay money to see that. HBO, I would pay money to see that. I'll put $500 towards this billion-dollar project, if you can just revive it. Bootstrap it. Put it on the board. And make me an HBO series on Lewis and Clark. Can we start donating to it? Yeah, maybe the next. Trivia winner. We'll start a conservation group.

HBO, make a Lewis and Clark series club. Question four. The top is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Brad H for sending this great question. Brad 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 the meat eater.com.

According to the USDA, this country is the world's largest exporter of venison. According to the USDA, this country is the world's largest exporter of venison. Brody, you have this one right? Yep. Randall, you have this one right. I. Randall, you have this one right? I believe so. Randall, have you ever ordered venison at a restaurant?

Not that I can recall. Brody, have you? I'm not going to answer that question right now. Okay. I plead the fifth. My apologies for asking. No, I just feel like I would need to clarify. Just cross me. Yanni, have you ever ordered venison at a restaurant?

No, but I've been served it at restaurants. Oh, you didn't order it? It was one of those situations. Like it came as an appetizer? No, like we knew somebody that, you know, some off-menu business. They said, you got to try this. What accent did they use? Although they're exporting it.

Help us. According to the USDA, this country is the world's largest exporter of venison. Is everybody ready? Yeah, I'll stick with my answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth without my answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth without an answer. Anthony says Canada. Max.

Canada. Randall. New Zealand. Alyssa. Canada. Tressa. Austria. Giannis and Brody say New Zealand.

They got it. The correct answer is New Zealand. While New Zealand is the world's largest exporter of venison, the United States is the world's largest importer of venison. It's estimated that the venison industry in New Zealand is worth $280 million, with one-third of that going to the United States. New Zealand is also the world's largest producer of antler velvet, with China buying 80% of their inventory, which they use in medicine.

Question five. The topic is hunting. This Louisiana company with a voodoo-inspired name is famous for their spinning wing decoys. Thank you, Spencer. Appreciate it. Max is thrilled that a waterfowl question made an appearance. This Louisiana

company with a voodoo-inspired name is famous for their spinning wing decoys. Brody has this one right as well. Max, or excuse me, Seth, do you have this one right? Uh, yeah. I think so. Max, do you own this one right? Yeah, I think so.

Max, do you own one of these? No. You don't? I thought you'd say, no, I own three of them. No, I used to. You're talking about this stuff too much, I feel like. Oh, wow. I used to.

I'll explain after. Brody would like us to just sit in silence until everyone's come up with their answer. He doesn't want to talk about eating venison. He doesn't want to talk about decoys. No, it's a long story. Like I was duped into, I ordered elk one time and then found out it was red deer and not Israel.

It's like this weird like they trick you. They tricked, they got Brody. They could get anybody. This is a long time ago. Remember that restaurant in Bale? He's become wiser since then. Remember that old German restaurant? That's why you just get the ribeye.

They sold wild boar and elk. No, I don't remember that. Brody's older and wiser now. He wouldn't get tricked into eating red deer again. This Louisiana company with a voodoo-inspired name is famous for their spinning wing decoys. And this is question five, so we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

Voodoo-inspired. Okay. Voodoo-inspired name. You got it. You have to get it. I have it. Voodoo like black magic. It's a Louisiana company.

What are you doing, Megs? We're doing it. Don't flash it to me because then we're going to have all kinds of problems. From Big Red. What did your Barsi jacket say? Just red. Oh, I thought I thought that was

A fictional detail But it appears to be real No Okay Did you sign the yearbook red? I don't think so No Red was more of a character

Than it was a real name Oh let's bring red back Red Randall would be Is that like your alter ego? Red Randall would be A good like western Villain Like cowboy villain Yeah You should have stuck with red The world doesn't make Enough reds anymore Red Randall would be a good Western villain. Cowboy villain.

You should have stuck with Red. The world doesn't make enough Reds anymore. Red Foreman from that 70s show. I don't know any Reds. I don't have any Reds in my life. Yeah, I sort of bristle. I mean, a lot of people, when they forget my name, like coaches, when they forgot my name, would just call me Red, things like that.

So it's just one of those things that's sort of funny, but also sort of a little humiliating i know i know another guy with similar hair color that we call him red okay is everybody ready okay let's flip them go ahead and reveal your answers we have seth saying mojo anthony says Cajun Witch Decoys. Max, Mojo. Randall, Black Magic. Alyssa, Black Magic. Tressa, Lucky Duck.

Giannis, Mojo. Brody, Mojo. I knew it wasn't Black Magic when Giannis said it and no one reacted. The correct answer is Mojo. I think five of you got that one reacted. The correct answer is Mojo. I think five of you got that one right. Mojo made their initial spinning wing decoy in 2000. To test the concept, the company's engineer took the motor out of his wife's treadmill

and put it in the decoy. Their first product was the Magic Mallard, which was fitting for the brand that named itself after the word that means magic in voodoo folklore. They work like magic, too. There you go. Magic Mallard from Mojo.

Why don't you own any more? I just don't use that brand anymore. They're very popular. They were like the first ones to ever do it. Tressa put Lucky Duck, and I think they also make a spinning dandy toy. And then I used to do work with Lucky Duck so I use them. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

Anthony, Alyssa, and Tressa all have one point. Max and Randall are up next with two points apiece. Got Seth with three, Giannis with four, and Brody Henderson is in first place with five points. Too good. Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my and Brody Henderson is in first place with five points. Too good. Hey, folks.

water that is saltier than freshwater, but not as salty as seawater? What eight-letter word is defined as water that is saltier than freshwater, but not as salty as seawater? And it appears Brody is going to keep the perfect game going. saltier than freshwater, but not as salty as seawater. And it appears Brody is going to keep the perfect game going. So does spelling matter on this one? Does not matter, but hopefully you have eight letters. I know, but I'm bad at spelling.

There's a lot of letters you can fit in an eight-letter word. Max going back to his whiteboard. I had it written down, but it was this chicken scratch. I was doing better. You're an honest man who does his dishes, doesn't cheat, doesn't spot burn. What? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Anthony and Max and Randall saying brackish.

Alyssa and Tressa without an answer. Yanni and Brody saying brackish. They got it. The correct answer is brackish. Brackish water is most commonly found in estuaries where a river meets the ocean. However, it can also be found in aquifers and lakes where there's extra saline soil. Some examples of fish that can live in brackish water are snook, tarpon, red drum, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and striped bass. Question seven.

The topic is wildlife. This type of exotic animal ripped the face off of a 55-year-old Connecticut woman during a 2009 attack. What the heck? This type of exotic animal ripped the face off of a 55-year-old Connecticut woman during a 2009 attack. Can you define exotic?

Nope. There's only so many animals that habitually rip the faces off of people, you guys. But Yanni has not picked up his whiteboard yet. Was this in the United States or was it in another country? It was in Connecticut. That's right. It was in Connecticut. This type of exotic animal ripped the face off of a

55-year-old Connecticut woman during a 2009 attack. But I think a grizzly bear would be exotic in Connecticut. Maybe it was true. It was in those waters for everyone. Connecticut woman could have been in another. That's a good point.

I will tell you, Alyssa, it happened in Connecticut. What do you got? That is a good point, Alyssa. Yanni and Brody comparing answers. I take it you boys have different answers. I'll show it to you if you promise not to cheat. I'm not going to cheat. I'm not gonna cheat. This may end Brody's perfect game on question seven.

You're wrong. What do you have? This type of exotic animal ripped the face off of a 55 year old Connecticut woman during a 2009 attack. I don't ever read comments. Did the folks at home get annoyed when we do this part? I don't think it's on their radar enough to matter. So if you players enjoy it, I'd say keep going. Everything I've seen says they hate it.

We did just have a situation over here Where Seth Showed Anthony his board And then changed No no I didn't change my answer When I slid my board it like wiped it off Okay yeah that's what happened I can confirm that You guys for this product to work The audience has to have trust

That this is a fair and honest competition It is fair and honest If I was going to change my answer to his, it would probably be the same. Oh, wow. Okay. Just let's show them. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying baboon. Anthony says chimpanzee. Max. Tiger. Randall. Chimp. Alyssa, Chimp, Tressa,

Jaguar, Giannis, Chimp, Brody, Baboon. The correct answer is Chimp. Brody got it wrong, ruining his perfect game. I think we had half the room.

Get it right. How do you pronounce Jaguar? Jaguar. Do you always say it like that? No, listen, I got hell from Steve. So now I try to go with the pompous way of saying it. Jaguar. I grew up saying Jagwire.

Listen, I did too. Travis the Champ was a 200-pound primate who lived with Sandra Harold in Stanford, Connecticut. In 2009, Travis escaped the woman's home with her car keys. One of Sandra's friends, Charla Nash, came to help Sandra wrangle the chimp and brought with her a Tickle Me the Elmo, which was Travis's favorite toy. When Travis saw Charla holding the toy, which was Travis's favorite toy. When Travis saw Charla holding the toy, he went into a rage and attacked her. During the mauling, Travis ripped her nose, jaw, eyes, and hands off. The woman survived after seven hours of surgery, but was left blind and without fingers. Travis was gunned down by a police officer after he approached the cop car and ripped off the driver's side door.

At the end of this podcast, I'm going to play for you 90 seconds of the 911 call from the chimp's owner to dispatch. But be warned, it's very graphic. I don't want to listen to that. If you don't want to hear that, then turn off the show. Yeah, I partially objected to this. We could just direct people. You can find it. It's online. I got Steve's approval to play this We could just direct people. You can find it. It's online.

I got Steve's approval to play this, so we're going to play it, but we're putting it at the very end of the show. She got a face transplant, didn't she? She got a face transplant. I think it was unsuccessful and then successful afterwards. I'm happy she's still alive. She did an interview in the last five years, and the most recent face transplant took. So if you don't want to hear that 911 call, turn off the show when I tell you goodbye.

Tickle me, Elmo. Question eight. The topic is conservation, and this next great question is via Jake Prashaki. Phil, let's give it a good long pause before we play that audio. We're going to hear Doug Durin's song first and then a solid pause and then hang on. If you don't want to hear the 911 call, you have plenty of opportunity to turn off the show.

The topic is conservation. This public land on the U.S.-Canada border is the most visited wilderness area in the United States. That's wilderness with a capital W. This public land on the U.S.-Canada border

is the most visited wilderness area in the United States. And this is question eight. Yanni, are you going to listen to the 911 call audio, or is that too much for you?

My mind's not made up. I think you should listen Is it this third? What if I told you that the attack is still happening and you can hear it in the background During the 911 call is it disturbing? Yes, is it entertaining a bigger? Yes? Yeah, that's a no for me dog You're not gonna listen Randall. Mm-hmm But you knew the answer. Oh, I remember Getting entertainment. Yeah, I remember this incident very well. Like kind of getting entertainment knowing that poor woman like lost her sight.

I gotta think. She survived. Also, I would point out that I got the audio from ABC News. This is played you know, on every major news network in the world. That doesn't make... I don't think we're wrong. Why are they playing it? So people will listen to it like it doesn't make it precisely I wish they'd release the audio from grizzly man me too man you know what there's another thing I'd

pay money for HBO make me the Lewis and Clark show and get get us the audio to here I think like three people in the world have heard it. No one should ever listen to this. Yeah. Kentucky Fried Chicken. You got to listen to it. Yeah. This is horrible. No one should ever listen to it. This public land on the U.S.-Canada border is the most visited wilderness area

in the United States. This is question eight. You know, like, when it's on the tip of your tongue and you can't actually come up with an answer? That's what's happening to me right now. That's where Brody was, but he just changed his answer.

Oh, my goodness. I can see the... Hmm. Okay. I can tell you exactly where it's at, too. Wow. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Max has provided a hint to Anthony. Oh, now I'm there. He's thinking about changing his answer. Anthony's trying to figure out all the places that Maximus is aware of. Which isn't that many. The intersection of places Max doesn't know the name of, but could point out exactly where it is.

Is everybody ready? one second one second no i'm i'm not getting it either anthony we're running out of time sorry go ahead and reveal your answers we have seth saying bound yeah anthony says niagara falls max lake of the Woods. Randall, Boundary Waters. Alyssa, Watertown. Tressa, Glacier National Park. Giannis, Boundary Waters. Brody, Boundary Waters.

The correct answer is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I'll point out, I was the only one that had that written down. He's the only one who had the word canoe. The Boundary Waters canoe area is made up of 1 million acres of pristine forests and glacial lakes. It's located inside the Superior National Forest of Minnesota. Last year, the Biden administration signed a mining ban that protects the Boundary Water watershed through the year 2043. Phil, we have two questions left. That ain't long enough. Give us a scoreboard update.

Let's see here. Anthony, Max, Alyssa, Tressa, you are no longer in the running for the win. I'm sorry. But Seth and Randall, you've got five points. You can still technically claw back, but Giannis and Brody are tied up in first place, two points ahead of Seth and Randall.

They have seven points. Question nine. Should be an exciting finish. The topic is cooking. This 10-letter British word is defined as, quote, a person or store that sells fish for food. This is question nine. The topic is cooking. Randall knows the answer.

This 10-letter British word is defined as a person or store that sells fish for food. Fabulous word. Okay. Randall is the only one who's come up with an answer so far. Brody, how do you feel about your answer?

It's got 10 letters in it. 10 letters. Makes sense. He is tied with Yanni. Going into question nine. Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? I've also got 10 letters. Okay.

This 10-letter British word is defined as a person or store that sells fish for food. Yanni, Brody, Randall. The only ones with an answer. Now Tressa has joined them. Tressa, do you have this right? Certainly not. Okay.

Confidence in the opposite direction. Seth has given up. Put down his whiteboard face up. That is the official white flag of meat eater trivia. Ten letter British word. A person or store that sells fish for food. I'd agree with you, Randall.

I do like this word. Great word. We should keep this to America, Spencer. That does have ten letters. Is it a good word, Max? It's not a good word. You think it's a word that Randall would compliment? No.

Okay. Is everybody ready? I just put two and two together. It's pedestrian. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth without an answer. Anthony says pescadordan. Max, fish seller, which is on the right track.

Half point. Randall, fishmonger. Alyssa, delicatessen. Tressa, fish and chips. Giannis and Brody say fishmonger. They got it. The correct answer is fishmonger. A monger is someone who deals or trades a specific commodity.

It's sometimes used as an insult, as a way to imply that the goods being sold are cheap. Although it can be applied to anything, it's most often used in compound words like warmonger, fearmonger, cheesemonger, artmonger, and, of course, fishmonger. Now here's a correct answer review so far for our listeners at home. One was Mississippi. Two, walking the dog.

Three, undaunted courage. Four, New Zealand. Five, mojo. Four. New Zealand. Five. Mojo. Six. Brackish. Seven. Chimp.

Eight. Boundary Waters. Canoe Area. Wilderness. And nine. Fishmonger. Going into question ten, we have Yanni and Brody tied up with eight correct answers. They're the only ones left in the game.

Question ten. The topic is gear. Walmart created this outdoor gear brand, which makes tents, sleeping bags, coolers, knives, mountain bikes, and more. Oh, my word. Walmart created this outdoor gear brand, which makes tents, sleeping bags, coolers, knives, mountain bikes, and more. Yanni, you have this one right. I believe so.

Brody, you have this one right. I saw a tent. I don't know. Made by this brand, used this past weekend, actually. Okay, and how'd it perform? It didn't rain, and it wasn't windy, so the tent performed fine. But when I saw it, I was a little worried. Okay.

Again, this is question 10. Walmart created this outdoor gear brand, which makes tents, sleeping bags, coolers, knives, mountain bikes, and more. Did you know that answer before you saw that tent this weekend, Yanni? You'd have gotten it right regardless? I think so. Okay.

I had one of these tents completely collapse in a storm one time. Wow. What was it? Just the poles gave out or what? Yeah, I guess. You want some help? No cheating. Max, do you have this one right?

I think so. Randall? There's one of those things up there. No, I can picture the brand. Randall's too elite to buy his gear from Walmart. I didn't say that. Oh, hold on a second.

I bought my last cooler at a Walmart. Oh, okay. But I have a Walmart adjacent brand written down here. Still, the only place I've still ever found my favorite apple as of late, the Sweet Tango is at Walmart. Wow, I love apples. I used to be an apple as of late. Oh. The Sweet Tango is at Walmart. Wow, I love apples.

You know what I'd say? I used to be an apple monger. I worked in the produce section at Walmart my freshman year of college. Wango Dango Sweet Tango. What's that one taste like? I'm not familiar. Tarter than the average apple these days.

Okay. And yeah, I don't know. These days it seems like a lot of the apples are way too thick-skinned. It seems like they're just made to basically last the whole year on the shelf. I'm not that into them. I love a pink lady, but I'd say that's my greatest critique of them. Too thick

of a skin on them. I also like Cosmic Crisp. Classic Honeycrisp is great. Golden Delicious. Golden Delicious, that's a good one. delicious mm-hmm that's not I think there's a new one that popped up at Costco that's maybe ambrosia something yeah that sounds right I don't think that one's new though I think that one's well I mean for a while new to me new at Costco okay yeah jazz jazz has been a favorite of mine lately big fan of the jazz apple I've never heard of any of these apples.

For the record. I guess you just eat Red Delicious. Fuji, Red Delicious, Honeycrisp. A few hours ago. Tune into Media Radio to hear us rank all the apple varieties. Alright, let's get on to this tiebreaker. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Anthony saying Gander Mountain. Ready go ahead and reveal your answers. Oh One of us my Anthony saying he got it max saying Cole Randall says white mountain he on a crossed out Coughlin Alyssa says Ozark trail Tresnil Coleman Giannis Ozark, Brody saying Ozark Mountain. We'll tell you one of you is correct between Gianni and Brody.

The correct answer is Ozark Trail making Gianni our winner. Nice, Gianni. Ozark Trail has been called the great value brand of camping gear. The label is exclusively sold in Walmart and is named after the Ozark region of Arkansas where the company calls home. Their latest venture into the outdoor gear world was a line of mountain bikes in 2023.

Yanni is the winner with nine correct answers. That means Yanni gets to choose with a $500 donation from MeDeaderGoes. What's it going to be, Yanni? I'm just going to go ahead and donate any of my winnings between now and November to Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, who are the ones that are fighting the mountain lion and bobcat hunting ban in Colorado. If you're not aware of that, go check them out.

Donate some money to save the haunt Colorado. If you're not aware of that, go check them out. Donate some money to save the haunt Colorado. What else do I need to tell them? Between now and November because that's when it'll be on the ballot. It'll be on the ballot. I mean, I think the word's out. You do? Yeah, I think we did a pretty good job.

No, I think the word is only out in our little universe. I think that on the front is only out in our little universe. I think that on the front range when you go, just my little polling that I've done with friends and family that live there are very barely aware of the issue and certainly aren't aware of our stance on it. So if you live on the front range, I'll say this again, do your part and go talk to people, spread the word.

And vote. Write a letter to the the word. And vote. Write a letter to the editor and definitely go vote. $500 going their way via Yanni and Meteor. And don't forget, when I sign off, Phil will be playing part of the 911 call from the owner of the chimp during that attack. This is your last chance to turn off the podcast before you hear this graphic audio. I'm not playing it in the room. This is just for the listeners at home. Join us next week for more media trivia.

The only game show where conservation always wins. Good job, Giannis. Thanks, Max. Thanks for the game, Spencer. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host.
