Hey American history buffs, hunting history buffs, listen up, we're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men, 1806-1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the Mountain Man era and what ended it.

We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade which is titled The Long Hunters 1761 to 1775. So again, this new mountain man edition about the beaver skin trade is available for pre-order now wherever audiobooks are sold. It's called Meat Eaters American History, The Mountain Men, 1806 to 1840 by me, Stephen Rinella. ["Meat Eaters Podcast Theme Song"]

Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is woodsmanship, and as always, this will be multiple choice. According to Cornell University, this is the rarest color of flower. Is it white, blue, yellow, or red? According to Cornell University, this is the rarest color of flower. Your four choices, white, blue, yellow, red. Do we have any expert gardeners in the room? I love to garden. Okay. You feel like you know this answer?

No. Okay. Are these just any type of flower? Are they wildflowers? Cornell University was referencing the 280,000 known plants, I believe, and looking at all their flowers. Yes, and of those One of these was the rarest white blue yellow red Are you missing any of these colors from your garden you had to tell us which Yes, yes, okay, is that your answer as well, okay This is at an advantage. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. we have Christine and Alyssa saying blue Nate says red

Cory red Logan blue chili blue Roman blue Tressa blue You did great the correct answer is blue suck it Nate Thank you for that negative feedback You did great. The correct answer is blue. Suck it, Nate. Thank you for that negative feedback. I appreciate it. Less than one in ten flowers is blue, making it one of nature's rarest colors. Scientists say it's a difficult color for plants to make, and it's not as desirable by pollinators. The most common flower colors are green, white, yellow, orange, red, and pink. Question two, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Jared Eats.

What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic? Oh gosh. What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic? Chilly and Nate have an answer. Do you know this one, Nate? Uh, no, I'm just basing it off the political landscape. What you know about some different states. Chilly, do you know this one? Um, not like super confident, but same thing. You just picked a state you think would ban all fishing.

Super left state, yeah. What state banned all recreational fishing for more than a month at the beginning of the COVID pandemic? Did they shut down hunting out here that year? No. No. I was in Georgia and the turkey season just got totally pooped on.

It was real bummer. I don't remember specifically out here, but I think they just said like use common sense That was that was all Hang out outdoors Does everyone have an answer for question two? Is anybody confident you're just making guesses? Christine you have an answer yeah not many listeners the meteor podcast in this room i guess jeez oh is this is this a topic you cover heavily you know steve harps on it every couple of months is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have

christine saying washington alissa california nate crossed out crossed out California and wrote down New York. Corey, California. Logan, California. Chilly, Minnesota. Roman, California. Tressa, California. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Washington.

What? Christine got that one right. Washington announced on March 25, 2020, that all recreational fishing would become illegal starting at midnight. The state also banned hunting and golfing, which wouldn't open again until May 5. Anglers protested the ban by throwing a boat parade on a Seattle lake, pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing people to boat but not allowing them to fish So the second they would cast the line that would have became illegal

Question three the topic is biology This six-letter word is defined as quote a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept This six-letter word is defined as a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept. Alissa, quick to answer. I'm second. Yes, I am. I know. You got six letters?

Yes. Okay, I like your chances then Christine has a perfect game going through two questions. Are you going to get this one right? No Six letter word defined as a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept Tell us about your garden Alyssa, what's all going on there? Oh, I love to grow peonies. Those are my favorite. Mm-hmm Well, I just got a greenhouse I got a green. Oh, so you're doing some gardening right now. Well, no, I need to build it Okay, I need to build it and so hopefully that does that really count as having a greenhouse then Well, no, I guess it's in my garage. There you go.

That kind of counts. Yeah, sure. It's half built. What are you going to do with that greenhouse once it's built? I feel like I want to grow some bulbs. I miss half a season. So you have to start a lot of stuff indoors. And so hopefully that will kick everything.

Yeah. What zone are we in here? It's a tough one. Five? Yeah. I don't know the answer to that. I'm just saying it we in here? Mm-hmm. It's a tough one Yeah, I don't know the answer that I'm just saying it's a tough one to grow in it is a tough one again question three Biology this six-letter word is defined as a large cage or covered area in which birds are kept Phil would you get this one right? You know, this is one of those ones where after I see the answer I thought oh I knew that but what I have thought Of it without seeing the answer. I don't know. I don't know. It's anyone besides Alissa confident

It looks like we're all jabroning really hard in here Jabroning I like it. Do you guys give up who don't have an answer yet? It's everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying garage. Alyssa says Aviary, Nate says Aviary. Corey says Bucket. Logan says Harbor. Chile without an answer.

Roman without an answer. Tressa says awning. The correct answer is Aviary. Nates and Alyssa got that one right. An aviary can be as small as a cage or as big as an entire building. Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Canada has the biggest indoor aviary in the world at 45,000 square feet. They house 80 species of birds there as well as snakes, iguanas, and tarantulas. Question four. The topic is gear. This next great question is via John Schlesinger. In 2021, Texas declared this their official state knife, which is named after the man who invented it?

Some quick answers Nate already has his whiteboard down. Alyssa has now joined him and Chile in 2021. Texas declared this their official state knife, which is named after the man who invented it. Is this a brand of knife or like a style of knife? Oh yeah, that's a good question. Not gonna give you any hints. That's bold. Is this a brand of knife or like a style of knife? Oh, yeah Not gonna give you any hints The knife is named after the man who invented it Now I'm rethinking it dude

Good question by me or by chili no No, by you. Oh, okay. You got this one right, Cory? I don't know. No, I'm with you. It's just a guess. I think it's a good question. I think it's a good question. Is everybody ready?

In 2021, Texas declared this their official state knife, which is named after the man who invented it. I think to answer your question, Roman. I think they're the only state with a state knife There they are pioneers in that field although there are a few states with state guns Is everybody ready got a lot of northerners in this room? Really going back to his whiteboard nobody's gonna keep it go ahead and reveal your answers We have Christine saying machete Alyssa says Gerber Nate says Bowie Cory says buck Logan case

Chili buck Roman Bowie Tressa sheer We have a correct answer It's Bowie Nate and Roman. Got that one correct. I would have liked to have answered for you, Chilly, but I think I would have made it more unclear because there is a brand Bowie Knife. But I also think people refer to most big knives as just Bowie Knives.

It's like the Kleenex tissue thing. So it is a brand, but I also think most people use it as referring to a style. Texas had been trying to pass the bill for four years before making it happen. Bowie knives are named after Jim Bowie, a pioneer who died at the Alamo. His brother, Rezin Bowie, made the first Bowie knives. The Bowie Knife headquarters are in Texas, where you'll also find the world's biggest Bowie knife, which is 20 feet long and 3000 pounds Who dropped that crocodile Dundee?

Man I thought you were good. Oh, yeah, he carries a bowie knife Question Question what's that? Is that the knife he has? He carries a big old knife and yeah, right. I don't know if he refers to it as a bowie knife But if you were watching it like Rambo carries a big old knife, and then most people just call it a Bowie knife Question five the topic is hunting this big box store, which is famous for their blue light special Stopped selling handguns in night in the 1970s and ammo in 2001 This big box store which is famous for their blue light special

stopped selling handguns in the 1970s and ammo in 2001. The room looks stumped. Spencer did you tone down these questions at all knowing it was jabroni trivia or would you have presented these questions if it were a normal game? I tried to make them more Gibroni friendly and I felt good afterwards when my wife got a six and a half I was gonna say you didn't you didn't come you didn't give us a Shelby in 6.5. It's a Shelby This big box store which is famous for their blue light special stopped selling handguns in 1970s and ammo in 2001. I know if you guys watch Jeopardy of Wheel of Fortune,

but they'll have like the college edition. And those questions are like slightly easier. So I think you guys are getting like the college edition of Meat Eater trivia. It's a nice way to put it. Yeah, you guys are all very educated. Does everyone have an answer for question five? This big box store, which is famous for their blue light special, stopped selling handguns

in the 1970s and ammo in 2001. Is anybody confident? Really? Phil, what have you gotten this one? The blue light special gave it away for me at 100%. Blue light special. That's what this store is famous for and I have that in quotation marks. Blue light special.

Do you guys give up? Never. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Sears, Alyssa Walmart, Nate and Cory say Sears, Logan and Chili say Walmart, Roman says Sears, Tressa says Walmart. Nobody got it. The correct answer is Kmart. Let me tell you about that. Kmart has become an endangered species in the last decade they only have five locations left which are located in the US Virgin Islands Guam and Miami at peak, they had over 2,000 locations

and sold guns, ammo, and other hunting gear. So, Chile, they got five K-Marts. And I was like, well, this has to be a store that's still remaining, because it's... Phil, tell people about the blue light special. Oh, I mean, that's just what all their marketing was driven on, you know? I can't even tell you.

I think they would, would they put blue lights in the store on end caps and stuff? Yeah, they had like police lights. And then if that blue light was going then it's like that's what the sale is happening right now Yeah, what's that thing Steve talks about in his brain that knows it the humonculous yes? Well what I brought that up to my my friend who's like a neuro resident, and she said totally wrong My humonculous knew it okay, I have to nobody got a mark Phil we're halfway through the game of trivia give us a scoreboard update You know if there's one thing we can say about this game it's jabroni trivia Cory who normally holds his own in regular

Board today Corey really good day, too. He probably came in as a favorite Got Cory who normally holds his own in regular trivia is not on the board today. Cory. I was having a really good day too. He probably came in as a favorite. Zero points. Tressa, Chilly, and Logan all have one point and tied up in first place with two points at halftime. Christine, Alyssa, Nate, and Roman.

Jabronis, I'm worried this isn't going to get any easier. I think Steve's concerned about this jabroni game because he's calling me right now. It's probably going to give me some input. You just ignore that. I will. Hey, American history buffs, hunting history buffs. Listen up. We're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series.

In this edition titled The Mountain Men men 1806 to 1840 we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger Jed Smith and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsman helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the mountain man era and what ended it. We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried,

what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade, which is titled The Long Hunters, 1761 to 1775. So again this new mountain man edition about the beaver skin trade is available for pre-order now wherever audiobooks are sold. It's called Meat Eaters American History the Mountain Men 1806 to 1840 by me Stephen Rineonella. Question six. The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Dustin Cosby. What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop?

What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop. I can picture those guys. Yeah, yeah, the old commercials. Okay. Where do you think they're standing? Yeah, I forget. Do they have a southern accent? Do they? They might.

I'm not telling. Father and son. Do you know this one, Alyssa? I know the vicinity, but I don't know which one. This state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop. Holy cow. And the brand name. Hmm.

Ugh. Ugh. Our jabronis are stumped. Man, where are they standing? Ugh. Someone can see the commercial or a commercial. Corey's trying to figure out what dialect they had. What state produces 60% of America's cranberry crop?

Spencer doing anything fun for your birthday? No, not on a Tuesday. Taco Tuesday? Going up. I'll go to Chico this weekend That'll be fun went to land of magic this last weekend a big fat steak there nice It's everybody ready Better write down a state you think produces 60% of America's cranberry crop

of America's cranberry crop. Cranberries. Are we ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying California. Alyssa says Massachusetts. Nate, Massachusetts. Corey, Florida.

Logan, South Carolina. Chili, Florida. Roman, Oregon. Tressa, California. Nobody got it. The correct answer is, do you guys have any other guesses? Georgia. Nebraska. No, no. West Virginia.

South Carolina. No, no. Wisconsin. What? Wisconsin. Yeah, I thought it was Massachusetts, that's all I hear about Massachusetts. I was thinking oceans first. Yeah.

Cranberries are native to the bogs and swamps of the upper Midwest and New England. Wild cranberries can be foraged in those areas as well as the Pacific Northwest. After Wisconsin, the leading cranberry producers are Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Oregon. So you guys were right there. Question 7. The topic is fishing. And this is the Athletic Brewing Moneyball Question of the Week. For every correct answer provided, Athletic Brewing is going to make a $100 donation that's capped at $500.

This week, Athletic Brewing is giving to the National Wild Turkey Federation. Here's your moneyball question This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean Tressa this is bad because I studied abroad in Greece and I took Greek. Oh wow Were you also in a sorority? No, no, okay. Do we have any sorority or fraternity? members in here Hmm. It's complicated. Oh Nate is but he doesn't want to admit it Do we have any sorority or fraternity members in here? It's complicated. Oh, Nate is, but he doesn't want to admit it.

Again, this is question seven. The topic is fishing. This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean. And this is the moneyball question. So for every correct answer. Oh, we're donating $100 to the National Wild Turkey Federation Thank you athletic brewing for giving us a moneyball question this week. Do you have this one right Christine?

I don't know if this is a great Okay, but it seems right Nate you have this one. Yeah, okay, so that might be $200 Athletic is going to send to the NWTF. It's like saving a quarter of a turkey or something. Yeah, it's worth it's worth one turkey breast. This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where a river meets an ocean. Rest of our players are stumped.

Tressa, how many Greek letters do you know? Well, I used to know them all. Okay. I'm like, you know it. Now I'm like, maybe three. Maybe three. I just fell in through all of them. That's what I, and I knew like three of them,

so I had to ask them. This letter in the Greek alphabet is what you call a wetland that forms where the river meets an ocean. Spencer? What's up? Are you looking for the whole word or just the letter? The whole word. Okay. Oh, I see. That does not help out any of our players question my answer even more shit Tressa now going to her whiteboard

Cory do you have this one right? I hope so. Okay. Is it a is it a letter in the Greek alphabet? I don't know a single letter in the Greek alphabet Do you guys give up? I mean, like the Super Bowl, Super Bowl 59. Are those letters? That's Roman numerals. Roman numerals? Yes, yes they are.

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Delta, Alyssa says Sigma, Nate says Delta, Corey, Estuary, Logan, Delta, Chili without an answer, Roman says Sigma, Tressa says Theta. The correct answer is Delta.

Christine, Nate, and Logan got that right. That means they are making a $300 donation to NWTF via athletic brewing. Rivers deposit sediment where they meet another river, lake, or ocean, which often creates a braided waterway that's known as a delta. These areas are nutrient rich

and are known for their high density of vegetation, waterfowl, and fish. Question 8. The topic is conservation. The USDA defines this 11-letter word as a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes. Eleven? I don't know what it is. Eleven letters. The USDA defines this 11-letter word as a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes.

Our room is stumped again. This is question eight, so we'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. Again, this is question eight, so we'll get another scoreboard update from Phil after this. Eleven letter word. A linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes. How we doing, Jabronis? Is anybody confident in this one? Nope. Nobody. It's certain of their answer. I thought of the only 11-letter word I could think of. We'll see if it's a...

I can't even think of an 11-letter word. The USDA defines this 11-letter word as a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes. So Logan has an 11-letter word, but he might be the only one. Do you guys give up? No. Yes. How much time do we have? Do you guys give up? No, no, no, no, no. How much time do we have? You can have a little more time.

And this is question eight. Phil, what's our best score in the room right now? Do you know? No, the worst. You want me to just the number of the player? Just the number for now. Three. Three. OK. Well, anybody hit five? Let's find out. Oh, Nate thinks he has four.

Well, we'll get a cricket. Don't know about that, Nate. Hi. Long again. What could this be called? What could this be called? An 11-letter word, a linear planting of multiple rows of trees or shrubs

established for environmental purposes. I think we're running out of time. You guys give up. Send it. Oh, Logan. No, it's not 11 letters. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying flood plant Alyssa without an answer Nate says what's that say an erosion line?

Cory without an answer Logan says Mississippi hedge Just said Mississippi An answer Tressa says plantation the correct answer is shelter belt You guys have never heard that well no I grew up in Montana I feel like this is not a lot of shelter belts in this part of the country, but you get east of here They're all over yeah Shelter belts are planted to protect farmsteads, save energy, and enhance wildlife habitat. Many species use them for travel corridors, nesting sites, bedding, and food.

The USDA and other agencies have programs that help pay for the planting of new shelter belts and the removal of old shelter belts. Alright, Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We're not. Uh, not much has changed since after question five, but a couple people are racking it up. Cory, unfortunately, is not one of those people. He is out of the running.

However, Cory's the only person out of the running. That's good news. Everyone can still come back. Tressa and Chilly have two points, or I mean, sorry, one point apiece. Logan, Roman, and Alyssa have two points and tied up in first place are Christine and Nate with three. And after this answer recap Spencer,

Nate can challenge me if he'd like. He could have four, I don't know. It's all the same. Question nine, the topic is natural history. Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character. Oh. Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for

this Disney character. Cory, you have this one, right? Yep. Okay. That wasn't just like a- No fair, you have kids. Yeah? Yep. Okay, that wasn't just like a No fair you have kids. Yeah exactly. Cory needs this. That wasn't just putting down the whiteboard like I got zero points, damn it.

That was a, I got this one right. Yeah. Okay. Dina Sananchar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character. A pack of wolves. Character, not the movie. Yeah, Disney character.

Yeah, I think that's where I'm stuck. Mmm. A pack of wolves? A pack of wolves. Ha ha ha ha. Nate, you got this one right? I think I have the movie, but I never watched it Oh, okay, so I have a description that maybe you will probably not take hmm

Yeah, I'd say most likely not Last time we had a Disney related question we had Nate who had a retort and I think Randall It was a question about Mickey Mouse's dog and Nate had to tell Randall that Mickey does not own Goofy. Dina Sanichar, who was raised by a pack of wolves, was supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character. Alyssa, how do you feel about your answer? Not very good. Supposedly the inspiration for this Disney character

Alyssa, how do you feel about your answer? Not very good. Okay, you have a Disney character down. Yes Another stumper for our room Courtney may be the only one the correct answer Phil would you get this one right? Yes, I think Phil would win this episode of jabroni trivia. Oh, I I've never heard of a shelter belt though So I don't know. Okay, it'd be a close one Is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers we have Christine saying blue Bell Bell. I'm sorry We have Christine saying Ballou. Bell. Bell. I'm sorry Alyssa says Pocahontas Nate says brave

Cory says Mowgli Logan says Simba Roman says the kid in the jungle book, which is Mowgli Tressa says Tarzan. Hmm. The correct answer is Mowgli Cory got that one right. Cory's on the board. He is the kid from the Jungle Book. Yes, all I can think of is Jungle Book.

Are you giving it to Roman? We're not gonna give it to Roman. That's not good enough. Dina Sanichar was a feral boy who was discovered in a cave in India in 1867. He was about six years old at the time and was living with wolves. Sanichar was taken to an orphanage and spent years only walking on all fours and

eating raw meat. He never did learn to talk or communicate with other humans and died at the age of 34. Just like Sanichar, Mowgli from the Jungle Book was raised by wolves. And Phil is showing us a picture there of Dina Sanon Char. Again, they found him in 1867 in a cave in India. That's crazy. So crazy. All right, here's the correct answer review for our listeners at home and Nate. Number one was blue. Two, Washington. Three, aviary. Four, 3. Aviary 4. Bowie Knife 5. Kmart

6. Wisconsin 7. Delta 8. Shelter Belt 9. Mowgli Phil's right. Phil, give us a final scoreboard update before we do question 10. Sure thing. It is

down. Well, here's I guess. I mean, Logan, Christine, Alyssa, Nate and Roman are all still in the game. Logan, Roman, Alyssa still have two points apiece. Christine and Nate are tied up in first with three. All right. But now Cory's on the board with one. So everyone's got a point. Question 10. Everybody gave Cory a pity clap except for Cory. Question 10, the topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Rob Welling for sending this great question. Rob 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. Name two of the six states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded.

So that's like if you took the hottest temperature recorded in all 50 states, which of those has the lowest of the hottest temperatures? Does everyone understand what we're looking for? Mm-hmm. The lowest of the hottest. If you took the hottest temperature ever recorded in every single state,

and then you looked at what the lowest number was from that list, we're looking for the states with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded. So the two coldest states. Two of the six. You need to name two of the six. Is this all during the same time frame, Spencer? No, this is just since they've ever been recording temperature, which I don't know how far back

that goes. Not that long ago. But there's a good span of history there for you to choose from. Name two of the six states with the lowest, hottest temperature ever recorded. And we have Nate and Christine tied up in first place but there are a few players who are just one point behind we haven't had a tiebreaker it's been a minute mm-hmm Nate how do you feel about your answer oh dude okay I'm between two.

Christine, how do you feel about your answer? I feel OK. I'm writing the six and then going across four. OK, oh, there you go. I'm not saying the six are the correct six. That's the move of a winner, Nate. He's only got three down. I know. I'm writing three more now.

So embarrassing. Nate. He's only got three down. I know I'm writing three more now. Name two of these six dates with the lowest hottest temperature ever recorded. The lowest winning score for trivia is four right? I think fours that's right we're going to... Gibroni episodes are exempt from that. Yeah, they don't. Mm hmm. What was hottest? Always hottest temperature ever recorded. We're looking for two of the six. Who's in second place, Phil? Who's who's competing? Alyssa, Logan and Roman. I'll have to. OK, Alyssa, how do you feel about your answer?

I feel good, but I have three. Any. Mm hmm. OK, Roman. I'm feeling decent. Okay, Logan? So-so, we'll see. You cheated. Is everybody ready? Okay, Alyssa and Christine are doing some crossing out now.

Okay. Phil, we just lost the TV screen. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's been happening a lot lately. I'll try to get it back online. Is everybody ready? I don't know if this is right. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Christine saying Alaska and Minnesota. Alyssa says Alaska and Washington. Nate says Alaska and Maine. Corey says Alaska and Maine. Logan, Washington and Oregon. Chile, Alaska and Maine. Roman, Alaska and Maine. Tressa, Oregon and Vermont. These six states are Island, Maine, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, making Nate our winner. Nate got that one right. Christine did not.

Christine, did you have some of those other states on your list of six? No. No, okay. That should make you feel a little better. It would have been worse if you had the other four or five, but not that one. Nate got it right with Alaska and Maine. Alaska and Hawaii have the lowest hottest temperature of all 50 states, which is 100 degrees.

That's followed by Rhode Island with 104, Maine with 105, and Connecticut and New Hampshire with 106. Just missing the top six are Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York. Did a lot of people get that one right? A lot of Alaskans and Mayans in here. Groomed it pretty well. All right, Nate, and New York. Did a lot of people get that one right?

Hey American history buffs, hunting history buffs, listen up. We're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men, 1806-1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain Beaver Trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the mountain man era and what ended it. We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans,

how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade which is titled The Long Hunters 1761 to 1775. So again this new mountain man edition about the beaver skin trade is available for pre-order now wherever audiobooks are sold. It's called Meat Eaters American History The Mountain Men 1806-1840 by me, Stephen Rinella.
