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 Brent, Randall, Seth, Max, Tressa, Corey, Matt, and Christine. 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 Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're revisiting Randall's crossword puzzle scores.

Why are we doing that? If you recall from a few episodes ago, Randall got exactly 380 points on each of the first four Meedeater crossword puzzles. Well, this week was different. Randall, do you want to tell folks what happened? Yeah, there was an accusation of some improprieties, and so I volunteered or was voluntold to film myself. Voluntold. That's a good way to put it.

So Matt was kind enough to step in and film me. Were you more nervous going in? I wasn't nervous. I wasn't nervous. I don't really know how to explain it other than to say that it ruined my day. Okay. He was not happy. It ruined my day.

Randall's kind of having a rough patch lately. Oh. Some devastating losses in trivia, including my five-point performance a few weeks ago. So trying to right the ship here and yesterday really didn't help. Yeah. On crossword puzzle number five, Randall got a score of 346 with a time of 4 minutes, 21 seconds. That's nearly two full minutes longer than his previous average. So this week might be your best chance to beat Mr. 380.

Head over to TheMeatEater.com slash games to play our crossword puzzles for free. Spencer, can you see everyone's score? I can see. I think I can, but it's usually just assigned to like a random username or email address. So I kind of have an idea about what kind of scores. But you can see the scores?. But you can see the scores. Yes, I can see the scores. Are they ever more than 380?

Very rarely. I think of like tens of thousands of scores that I had looked at. We'll be fair to Randall here for a minute. He was always at the top. I think he's put up like four of the top ten scores of all time. Wow, thank you. That's nice. And to be clear, 346 people would be thrilled with a

346, but he's no longer Mr. 380. I feel like if someone beats Randall, they should get like a prize or something. Okay. You think you could do it, Maxwell? No. I can't beat him. I can't imagine the stress you feel, Randall, when you start one of these crossword puzzles.

If you were to start sneezing or something, it would throw the whole thing off. I know. You got like a pregame that you do before you start one of these crossword puzzles. If you were to start sneezing or something, it would throw the whole thing off. I know. You got like a pregame that you do before you start? I just make sure that the balance of chemicals that I'm putting into my body is optimized. Take a little pre-workout. Caffeine.

Yeah, but no, I do feel a lot of stress when I see the link link there's a mixture of terror and excitement um and this week all of my nightmares came true so the meat eater.com slash games here's our infrequently asked question segment if you have a trivia related question for our crew send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com with the subject line. I FAQ. This one is actually an FAQ since about 30 people have emailed about this. Shouldn't the segment be called I AQ instead of I FAQ since infrequently is just one word. No, I mean, the listeners who wrote in with that feedback are wrong, but using an acronym like that isn't uncommon as noted by this 2017 norm mcdonald joke play the clip phil

i was in the airport guys were asking everyone my id and it occurred to me that id is a strange abbreviation because i is short for i and then d is short for I, and then D is short for dentification. So it seems to me D is doing most of the legwork on that one. So it's still the IFAQ segment. If you have a trivia-related question for us, use the subject line Iaq and send your email to trivia at the meedeater.com now for this week's housekeeping section i want to tell you about two of the newest trivia products for this year can we get a drum roll phil coming out later this fall

meat eater trivia expansion. Got them right here. We have two expansion packs available. A hunting expansion pack and a fishing expansion pack. If you're watching this on YouTube, you are the first people to get to see these expansion packs. These expansion packs have 200 new questions

to go along with the 800 questions from the original board game. And you don't even need the board game to enjoy these standalone cards. Throw this expansion pack in your glove box or backpack, and you've got hours of outdoor entertainment. Each pack will retail for just $10. And like the board game, a portion of sales will go to conservation. That means your purchase helps fund things like land access and wildlife habitat.

It's quite literally the only board game where conservation always wins the meat eater trivia hunting expansion pack and meat eater trivia fishing expansion pack will be available soon more details to come thank you max we got a regular old vanna white over here i like what you did uh blue for fishing blue waters that's right hunting orange now spencer every kid asked me every kid grows up hoping that they could make a board game someday, right? That's the American dream. Sure, yep. Not really.

Of the few that reach that pinnacle of excellence, how many of those are lucky enough to create an expansion pack to that board game? I don't have the answer to that. I'm tickled, though, that we have these two expansion packs available. They'll be on our website very soon, and they're just $10. Also, we have one more new trivia product that will come out this year. Out of everything we've made, it's the thing I'm most excited about. I'll explain what that is very soon.

So you've got the two expansion packs and then one more thing that will reveal at a later date the Shelby index for today is a four so our winner should get eight correct answers and with that we're on to the game of trivia play the drop Phil look the warming here is just me what I stand to win everything how's that I stand to win everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Like an athlete over here, Max has now taken off his warm-up.

He pitched it behind him. He's down to a t-shirt so we can play trivia. All right, let's go. Question one. The topic is conservation, and this first great question is via Kirkport. And this will be multiple choice. Sorry, Spencer, really quick. I have the question right, but I did not put the, I forgot to replace the multiple choice answers.

So you're going to see some percentages. Do not regard those in any way. Okay, the percentages are from a different multiple choice. It's from last game trivia. You'll have to listen to me instead of the TV. Let's see if I can live edit it. This Native American tribe has a national forest named after them. That's in North Carolina and Tennessee. Is it Cherokee, Shawnee, Kickapoo, or Comanche.

This Native American tribe has a national forest named after them. That's in North Carolina and Tennessee. Your four choices. Cherokee, Shawnee, Kickapoo, Comanche. Or if you're looking at Phil's screen, your choices are 25%, 45%, 65%, and 85%. Phil has live edited on his toes. That was a test, Phil. Nice job. He gave himself the test. That's right. Just to impress all of you.

It worked. Again, a Native American tribe that has a national forest named after them in North Carolina and Tennessee. Cherokee, Shawnee, Kickapoo, Comanche. Is everybody ready? Uh, sure.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Cherokee. Christine, Shawnee. Tressa, Shawnee. Randall, Cherokee. Matt, Shawnee. Corey, Shawnee. Max, Shawnee. Brent, Cherokee.

Not good. One and a boy. No one said Kickapoo or Comanche. The correct answer is Cherokee. I think we had three of our players get that one right. I just need to stick with my gut half the time. The Cherokee National Forest is a diverse area that butts up against Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's actually where the whitewater competition was held for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. The medal podium for whitewater sports that year was dominated by the Czech Republic, France, and Germany.

Question two. The topic is fishing. Actor Viggo Mortensen would often go fishing between scenes while on the set of these movies. The topic is fishing. We have Corey, Matt, and Randall. We've confidently come up with an answer already. Actor Viggo Mortensen would often go fishing between scenes while on the set of these movies.

So there's like a series of movies? We're just going to stick with the wording of the question. It says while on the set of these movies. Yeah, I don't know who the hell that is. There's actually two different movies. Two separate. I don't know what Randall's attempting to do here

very strange if it was like uh the movie yeah what's the one russian prison yeah if it was russian prison and cars yeah right that's one thing a weird combination what am i what am i thinking eastern promises eastern promises oh boy don't watch that one with your family. Dr. Viggo Mortensen would often go fishing between scenes while on the set of these movies. Did he star in the movie? Not going to give you any hints. Is he the director? Corey, Randall, and Matt, they seem to know him.

Maybe they want to help you out, Seth. Not after that first question. They Maybe they want to help you Not after that first question I'm trying to think of the one with Tom Hanks Sort of a gangster movie Castaway Polar Express That's the road to perdition I don't think Viggo Mortensen is in Road to Perdition Is he?

I believe There's Jude Law, Paul Newman I'm getting everybody wrong. I'll shut up now. Does everybody have an answer? Come on. I could have sworn it was a Viggo. A Viggo.

Has anyone seen the John Wick movies? Is that how you pronounce his name? I thought it was Viggo, but... No, I just think Viggo sounds funny. Spencer, what's your favorite movie of all time? I'm not going to tell you, Maxwell. No, I just think Vigo sounds funny. Spencer, what's your favorite movie of all time? I'm not going to tell you, Maxwell. No, I'm just curious. I don't think it's the right answer.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying grumpy and grumpier old men. Oh, my gosh. Christine, who somebody might have cheated off each other. She also says grumpy and grumpier old men christine who uh somebody might have cheated off each other also says grumpy old man tressa says harry potter randall says lord of the rings matt and corey say lord of the rings maxwell says top gun brent says fast and the furious oh good guess the correct answer is Lord of the Rings.

We had Randall, Matt, and Corey. Get that one right. The nerds just identified. Mortensen fell in love with New Zealand while filming Lord of the Rings because of the country's wild places. He once said in an interview that the fishing was so good

that he wouldn't reveal the names of the rivers he fished to protect his secret spots. Here's a behind the scenes look at Mortensen running off set to go fly fishing during Lord of the Rings. Play the clip, Phil. Oh, Viggo. Hey, Viggo, are you on camera? No. We could have used him. Literally ran off set. Oh, nice. I did that. I'm surprised about it. I'm waiting any second they're going to say I have to go back to work. That's amazing.

Good for him. I'll take that. I'll take it. Five minute fish break. Where was that filmed? That was filmed in New Zealand. We are on to question three. The topic is hunting.

This next great question is via Michael Stednisky. Name two of what the New Mexico Wildlife Federation refers to as the state's big three exotics. You need to write down two of them. If you put one or three, you'll get it wrong. Name two of what the New Mexico Wildlife Federation refers to as the state's big three exotics.

Seth and Randall appear confident. The rest of the room is still working on their answer. Phil, do you love Lord of the Rings? Oh, yeah. How does it rank among like... Okay. How does it rank for what?

Just like all your favorite movies of all time. Or like as far as things that have a lot of movies, like Star Wars and Harry Potter. I just think the Lord of the Rings movies, I mean, they blended high fantasy and just like big populist entertainment really well like it's kind of hard when you got big goofy elf names

and a bunch of orcs running around to really feel the humanity in the characters have they captured you for the new Amazon series isn't that related to I have not watched a single frame of Rings of Power I have no interest in it oh you just won't do it I might get around to it. I heard mixed things and

something about how sparkly and big budget it looks. I don't really care about any of the characters and also it's not really canon and Tolkien's world. Very damning. I've got reasons. What do you got, Max? You got the right answer

for this one? I got two. Max is confident. Don't be changing your answer. No, I have three. Name two of what the New Mexico Wildlife Federation... And then Max shows you his board. That did happen. That did happen, but...

Name two of New Mexico's big three exotics. You gotta give me one next time. Brent, what did I say prior to the room filling up about Max there? Oh, yeah. You called that one. Yeah. I'm just going to do that.

How about that? Registered cheater. Yeah. Oh, come on. Not again. Is everybody ready? Did we look at footage from last time, Phil? Did I actually cheat it?

I did not review the footage. I'm sorry. No, I trusted you, Max. I'm on your side. I appreciate it. Christine, how are we doing? Walk the dog. I can't think of anything.

I'm so mad I missed that. It was so obvious. Just roll the dice. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Ibex and Oryx. Christine says Peacock. Tressa says Nilgai and Osceola Turkey. Randall, Oryx, Ibex.

Matt, Ibex. What's that say? Audad. Corey says Ibex and Audad. He crossed out Oryx. Max says Audad and Ibex. Brent says Obex and Audad. He crossed out Oryx. Max says Audad and Ibex. Brent says Oryx and

Fallow Deer. The three exotics are Oryx, Ibex, and Barbary Sheep or Audad Sheep. So the room did pretty well on that. Phil, I'm pretty sure you said Oryx when we were talking about New Zealand right before. Oryx.

Oryx. Same thing. I got you, Phil. Thanks, Randall. You're on my level. Barbary sheep were the first of the exotics to be introduced to New Mexico in the 1940s. Oryx followed in 1969 and Ibex

in 1970. Today, it's estimated New Mexico's Oryx and Audad populations are in the thousands, while Ibex are in the hundreds. Did you get it? Question four. The topic is gear. You got it, Corey. Oh, I did?

Yeah. All right. Let's go. I was going to say hiding. The last one was Barbary sheep or Audad. Oh, I didn't realize they were the same. Which a few of you had. Thank you.

Question four. The topic is gear. This company debuted their first boat motor 60 years after making their first piano. Ooh. This company debuted their first boat motor 60 years after making their first piano. Seth, do you know what I'm thinking of? You can tune a fish, but you can't tune a piano. Not that.

That's good, Brent. That's exactly what they were thinking of. What are you thinking, Max? I don't want to say. We have Max and Seth and Randall, who all appear to be confident. Matt, Corey, do you boys have this one right? I'm 50-50. Okay, Brent, do you have this one right?

100%. Can you play a piano, Brent? You look like you can play a piano. Yeah, you know, my dad was having heart surgery, and before they wheeled him in there, he asked the doctor before they put him out, asked him if he'd be able to play the piano when they got through with the surgery.

This is a true story. Okay. And the doctor said, well, of course you will. And he said, good, because I always wanted to. He wasn't scared. That's good. So can you play a piano, Brooks? No.

You can play one, just not well. Oh, yeah. You don't want to listen to it. This company debuted their first boat motor 60 years after making their first piano. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Christine saying Yamaha. Tressa says Hancock.

Randall and Matt say Yamaha. Corey says Mercury. Max and Brent say Yamaha. They got it. The correct answer is Yamaha. They got it. The correct answer is Yamaha. In the year 1900, Yamaha built the first ever piano to be made in Japan, which was a smashing success. In 1960, they released their first boat motor, which wasn't met with as much praise. Early reviews said you could tell it was created by an instrument company because it made so much noise. In addition to those two products,

they also make motorcycles, drums, home appliances, computer parts, golf cars, pontoons, and more. Question five. So they got the motor thing dialed now, though? They're pretty good at it. Are there any other boat motor companies that made pianos? I don't know. I don't have the answer.

I don't know my piano as well. I'm. I don't know my pianos well enough. I know one that makes lawnmower. Okay. Question five. The topic is cooking. Cambridge Dictionary defines this bun as

quote, a piece of dough cooked in steam and filled with meat or vegetables originally from China. Cambridge Dictionary defines this bun as, quote, a piece of dough cooked in steam and filled with meat or vegetables originally from China. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this. Phil, do you have any Yamaha gear in all of your audio equipment?

None, but I have a Yamaha trombone. Oh, okay. Yamaha Allegro. Played it all through high school. Quality piece of equipment. When's the last time you got it out? A couple months ago, because my son started playing trombones.

How'd that sound when you got it out? Was it like riding a bike? Pretty bad for about a half hour, and then after that it was still pretty bad, but slightly better. It's just, you know, I lost all the muscle memory. Phil, is there a... Call it an embouchure. Is there a slang term for playing the trumpet, like tickling the ivories for piano? Would you call it like...

No, we can't say it on air, man. Again, we're on question five. The topic is cooking. Cambridge Dictionary defines this bun as a piece of dough cooked in steam and filled with meat or vegetables originally from China. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying dumpling.

Christine says dumpling. Tressa says bao bun. Randall says bao. Matt says bao bun. Corey says hot pocket. Maxwell says pierogi. And Brent says dumpling. We have a correct answer in the room.

It's pierogi. It's bao bun. I think we had Tressa, Randall, and Matt get that one right. Bao buns are typically filled with pork, beef, chicken, mushrooms, or vegetables. One Chinese fable tells of an army who needs the help

of a god to cross a large river. The deity wants the army to sacrifice soldiers, but the general refuses. Instead, he tries to trick the god by throwing bao buns in the river, which are meant to look like human heads. The deity isn't fooled,

but it does eat the buns and ends up loving them. So the god helps the army anyway and parts the waters for the men to cross. That's how good bao buns are. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. I would be remiss right now if I didn't interject and say that Moshi Food Truck in Livingston has the best bao buns

this side of the Mississippi. You would be remiss if you didn't have that interruption. Everybody has a point on the board. Christine and Tressa have one. Brent, Corey and Max all have two points apiece. Seth Morris has three. Matt has four.

And it's a perfect game. He's doing better than he did at the crossword this week. Nice, Randall. Dr. Randall. Nobody start filming. I think I got some bad news for you. 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 sweepstakes and our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join our northern brothers get irritated well if you're sick of you know sucking high and titty there on x is now in Canada.

The topic is public lands. What is Arkansas' only national park, which is named after its geothermal features? Looks like this will keep the perfect game going for Randall based on how he's writing his answer. What is Arkansas' only national park, which is named after its geothermal features? How many times must a beloved out of town visitor

play trivia before they no longer receive softballs? Oh, yeah. you know what i i had this question created before i even knew brent would be here today in your face brent do you have this one right if i don't i will not be able to go back home okay have you have you ever been to this place many many many times okay there's a hint if you know brentves well. What is Arkansas' only national park, which is named after its geothermal features? Geothermal.

Out of here. Maxwell is stumped. I know the river, or a river in Arkansas. There's a couple of them, actually. It's the Lava River. Do they make a lawnmower? No. What is Arkansas' only national park,

which is named after its geothermal features? Randall, tell me more about these bao buns off this food truck. Oh, my God, they're delightful. Every week they have a different filling. They'll do goose and other kinds of sausage. Cal frequently comes over to Livingston just to eat bao buns. Wow.

And the bun is perfectly, and then they also make a burger that uses a bao bun sliced in half as the bun for the burgers. How's the dough to meat ratio? Because that's my biggest beef with bao buns. It's usually just a big old hunk of bread with like a tiny little teaspoon of meat in there.

It's a hearty, it's a hearty golf ball sized scoop of whatever filling is. But honestly, breathtaking. You guys are making me hungry.

I was disappointed we didn't have a bao buns recipe on the website. We need to, we need to get that changed. Yeah. Call Moshi. They have the best.

Does everyone have an answer for Arkansas' only national park? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Ozark. Christine says Hot Springs. Tressa says Geyser. Randall says Hot Springs.

Matt says that national park in Arkansas. Corey says Lava Cave. Maxwell says Hot Springs. Brent says Hot Springs. The correct Maxwell says Hot Springs. Brent says Hot Springs. The correct answer is Hot Springs. Nice. The room did very well. That was a total guess.

Good job. Hot Springs National Park, which was referred to by tribes as Valley of the Vapors, produces one million gallons of heated water each day. Before it was a national park, it was a popular hangout for mobsters such as Al Capone and Frank Costello. They enjoyed soaking in the Superior Bathhouse, which was later converted into the first and only brewery in a national park.

Brent, what do you do at Hot Springs National Park? Do you soak in the bathhouse there? There's a lot of bathhouses down through there. We just go down there. We're just like regular tourists when we get there. less than an hour hour and a half away from my home and my wife and daughter like to shop and there's lots of good restaurants but there's some there's some public fountains when the hot water's coming out and a lot of mineral water that you can just you can take your jug down there and get it. Fill it up. But they're hot.

They say sometimes you need to live like a tourist where you live. So that's what going to Hot Springs is for you. Man, it's busy. It's a busy place down there. Lots of folks year-round going down there. Question seven. The topic is woodsmanship. I'm not going to Bozeman Hot Springs.

Tell you that. This masculine word is defined as, quote, a cord or string that is used to secure a tent or tarp to the ground this is question seven the topic is woodsmanship and randall is confident again this masculine word is defined as quote a cord or string that is used to secure a tent or tarp to the ground. Randall is the only one with an answer so far. Do you have an answer, Matt? Matt is also confident. Oh, yeah.

Now we have Brent and Seth joining them. A cord or string that is used to secure a tent or tarp to the ground. I'm going to be using a lot of these soon. Okay. I just restrung my teepee last night. Probably touched one. Yeah. String?

It's this close. This masculine word is defined as a quarter string that is used to secure a tent or tarp to the ground. Oh, you know what? Something we should talk about is today's episode of Trivia came out. We had promised listeners that there would be a 911 call of a woman getting attacked

by a chimp at the end of the episode, and that didn't happen. What? It didn't make it in the episode. I completely forgot to tack it onto the end, and if Spencer would like, I can tack it onto this episode two weeks later. Good taste prevailed. I think we will do that.

We will put it at the very end of the episode. And like last time, Phil said that it will come after I say goodbye. And we hear Doug Duren's little song about trivia. It will play after that. So you have plenty of time to shut off the podcast. If you don't want to hear the phone call, it is very morbid. And it's a woman being attacked by a chimp. Doesn't that sound horrible, Christine?

They call that a day changer. Don't listen to it unless you want to feel a certain way. A day changer? I never heard that one. Well, we use it in a different context in college. We're not going to play it. Okay, you're right.

This would be a day changer and i got it approved by steve ranella himself to put it on the podcast it'll come at the very very end she survives that's a good not hr is asking the important questions does everybody have an answer yeah and required to fail the face transplant. Previously, I said it was entertaining. That's a wrong way to describe it. Interesting. I wouldn't say it's entertaining. Disturbing.

Exactly. Is everybody ready, Max? No. I think you're running out of time. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying guide. Christine says man rope. Tressa says stud. Randall says guy line.

Matt says guy line. Corey says paracord. Max without an answer. Brent says guy wire. The correct answer is guy line, guy rope, or guy wire. About half of our players get that one right. The word guy line comes from the French word guie. I don't know how you pronounce that, Phil.

What do you think it is? Guie? Guie sounds more. Okay. From the French word guie, which means to guide something. Guy lines are often used by outdoorsmen on boats and tents, but are also used on wind turbines, skyscrapers, telephone poles, and radio towers.

The ideal guideline knot creates tension, but is also easily adjustable. I'm not going to lie. I always thought it was guideline. For real. I thought I'd been pronouncing it wrong like I pronounced most everything wrong my whole life. I like the trucker's hitch.

Easy to undo. For a guy line. There you go. Question eight. The topic is conservation. What does the federal agency BOR stand for? The topic is conservation. What does the federal agency B-O-R

stand for? Looks like Randall will keep the perfect game going through eight questions. He looks confident. I think we need Matt and probably Seth

to get this one right, to have anybody keep pace with Randall. Otherwise, this may be a runaway victory, and we're just looking out for the $1,000 donation at that point. I'm just trying to beat the Shelby Index. True. Does everybody have an

answer for what the federal agency B-O-R stands for? Hopefully you're not trying to pull fast one on us knows that think I'd do that max so maybe Christine are you ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have Seth saying zero of reclamation Christine says Bureau of restoration Tressa says Bureau of restoration Randall Bureau of reclamation Matt Bureau of reclamation Corey the same answer

max with the same answer minus a couple of letters plus a few extra letters Brett says Bureau oceanic research the correct answer is Bureau of Reclamation. I think we had about half the room. Get that one right. The Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency within the Department of the Interior. They oversee water resource management across much of the West.

They bring water to 31 million people, making them the country's largest wholesaler of water. Their reservoirs and canals are responsible for irrigating 60% of America's vegetables and 25% of its fruit and nuts. Phil, we

have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Let's see here. Tressa, Christine, Max, Corey, Seth, and Brent are all out of the running for the win. How many points do we have? Well, you can look at the board up here. I guess I should

say. I was trying to spare you, Max, but let's see. Tressa has one, Christine has two, Seth has four, Corey has three, Max and Brent have four, but we've got Matt with six, and he can technically still catch up to Randall if Randall falls flat on his face. Randall has eight points.

It's happened before. Maybe just take a nap for a little bit. Question nine. Trumpeter swans. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Matt Cullum for sending this great question. Matt 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 the meat eater.com. Name three of the five States that steelhead are native to according to the U S fish and wildlife service. Sweet Jesus Spencer. Three of the five in three of the five States that steelhead are native to, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Randall, do you have this one right? I do. If you had to, could you name all five? I could.

Okay. That is a confident player over there. I can name a couple. Hatchery, steelhead. Okay. That's a clue. States. Brent, how do you feel about your answer?

Not well versed. Do you think you're in the right part of the country? I think so. I'm confident in that. Three of the five states that steelhead are native to, and this is according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You should put down Canada, Randall.

Confusion. What's the state of confusion? Provence. I hate British Columbia as much. Go ahead, go to the ocean. It's a great question. Christine has asked Seth if steelhead go to the ocean. Ask Max.

He'll tell you. I'm not a side painter. I was like, where's the answer? Randall is a, excuse me, Max is trying to give a head motion to Christine to help her. It's not a nod or a no. He was making a large circle it looked like. His neck hurts.

It is a yes or no. It must be Hawaii. Big island. I don't even know if I got it right, to be honest with you. You're going the wrong way. This is more the right way? Let me see. Is everybody ready?

Wait, wait, wait. Let me just write one more. We can help her. She's going to relist all 50 states. She has no chance. She has no chance of winning. Then why are we doing this? That's the right way.

Nine-letter orange-colored fruit that is one of the most highly sought-after soft mass species for deer. Nine? I don't know if it's felted right.

I don't know if I'm on my board. Max has a nine-letter answer. What did you say? Randall, how do you feel about your answer? I feel pretty good, Spencer. Put a percentage on it. What percentage is it that you have it right? If we're going to go down, we're going to go down in flames.

What do you like about them?

They're a nonprofit that works to connect people to their national forests and just, you know, inspire engagement and interest in and advocacy on behalf of our national forests. They do tree plantings and all kinds of things like that. And one of our former colleagues works there. And he's just a heck of a guy. So this is in his honor. A thousand dollars going their way from Randall and Meat Eater. Here's one last reminder that Phil is going to play this extremely graphic, morbid, disturbing clip after the music plays.
