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 Randall, Cal, Nate, Sarah, Marge, Chili, Logan and Matt. 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 Eaters will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.

And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the number 10. That's how many points Meekal and Chili beat Randall and Phil by at Bar Trivia last Friday, with a final score of 54 to 44 summer declaring it the greatest upset You're leaving out the first game what we defeated you You're also leaving out the fact that the questions were awarding points in three and five point increments It was a very weird game of trivia. What was the score on the first one? Do you know I don't remember?

I don't know I think we were competitive in that one at least I think if you were to just let the AI thing sum this up you you'd still be the losers. Yeah, you're sore losers Tell me about the trivia experience Randall describe it for listeners Well, it's interesting cuz we got there early thinking that you'd need to get there early to get a table. And then at five till, there was still no one there. And we thought maybe we just wasted a bunch of time and got a few beers in before we really needed to. And then it filled in and it was quite a rowdy bunch.

There were at least a dozen teams mm-hmm and the first round the first set of questions I Thought hey we're off to a good start Oh, yes, you know you explained to me afterwards the category was general knowledge. Yeah, it's like Jeopardy But then but then the questions had like multiple questions about Julius Caesar And you're like while he was doing a thing about war generals in game two. They had general knowledge again, but it was not about war generals. Well, I let me let me clarify. OK, in that first game, I thought that was a clever category name. And then things went off the rails.

It was bad. It was bad trivia. It yeah. The Molly Brown, I will say it again, is the only good place to play trivia. The city. I liked the $14 burger and a beer combo. Yes. That really like smashes it in the face of the rest of the Bozeman establishments that serve a smash burger for $22. There was also a $20 chips and queso and a pitcher of beer special now, but you're ordering food from bar nine Let me remind

I would rate the food actually better than the true. Yeah. Yeah I wasn't too impressed with the big buck hunter though game that they got there No, that's a terrible thing for people with hand down. I played what was the age demographic? Cuz I know on the evenings It's usually like all over the college kids up to like I don't know people in their 40s Yeah, there's a little of it. Yeah, I think we're in the middle of it large percentage of the people in their 40s, yeah That the trivia was very flawed the guy had his hands full at one point the chance started breaking out about like that's not a cut

Yes, not a cut Controversial I think I start is a chant actually Gonna leave that part out Dude had a straight-up wrong question. We're gonna do trivia again, but it's not gonna be on a Friday night Yeah, well, I mean the nice thing about that trivia is it starts at 6? So for those of us who like to be in bed by nine, it was very accommodating Yeah, so me Cal and chili we beat Randall and Phil. Mm-hmm. There's a lot of yep. That's the takeaway Infrequently asked question segment if you have a trivia related question for our crew send it to trivia at the media dot-com

With the subject line I FAQ Devonek says, where has Chester been? Chester moved. Chester moved to Wisconsin. He still works at MeadEater. So you're not gonna hear Chester on trivia very much coming up, but if you want some more Chester, MeadEater Radio, we record that live on Thursdays. The audio version you can listen to on Fridays.

We have a segment called Chedekit where Chester writes a nice little song to answer some listener's question. Where they're in a moral predicament about the outdoors. If you want more Chester, you can get more Chester there. It's one of my favorite segments we do. It's not every week, but once or twice a month, you're gonna get some Chedekit over there.

We recently had a question about, when we were filming Roast, if we could change one thing immediately meat eater, what would it be? Randall said he would make Chester move back to Montana. Yes. So we all miss Chester. Yes. All right.

Now we have some housekeeping to get to. During the meat eater trivia tournament, we had a question about waning and waxing moons. Waning refers to a moon phase that is decreasing in brightness while waxing refers to a moon phase that is increasing in brightness while waxing refers to a moon phase that is increasing in brightness. And you can tell if a moon is waning or waxing by looking at what side the light is on. This got a few listeners to write in with an easy rhyme to help you remember which is which. It goes,

wax on, quaint off. Um, no. Karate Kid. Light on right, it's getting bright. This means if a partially lit moon is bright on its right side, then the moon is waxing or getting bigger. Then the following night the moon will be brighter, growing each day until it's a full moon. And on the contrary, if the light is on the left side, then the moon is shrinking or waning. So again, light on right, it's getting bright.

Is that a hemisphere thing or is that universal? I don't know. I just assume everyone listening is in the northern hemisphere. Sorry for our folks in Australia. Is New Zealand in the southern hemisphere? Oh yeah. Yeah, them too. So that probably doesn't apply to you. Their toilets flush backwards too. So what would your haircut cost? Looks like a fancy haircut? I get my haircut about once every two months I don't know what it costs been going to the same lady pretty much since I moved here. Wow, Four Corners, Montana What's your haircut cost this? Yeah

Just time buddy Now the Shelby index for today is a four So our winner should get eight correct answers and with that we're on to MeatEater trivia play the drop Phil I need to know what I stand to win everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything Does anyone get the pre-race P feeling? Can you wait until the drop is done? Question one. Thank you Randall.

We've all heard the drop. The topic is gear. This will be multiple choice. Which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Is it triple B? F, double aught, or T? And double aught is written out number zero zero. So which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Triple B, F, double aught, or T?

Cal, you're probably one of those monsters who skips the credits when you watch TV shows, aren't you? It's part of the tone setting, it's important. Oh! Phil, what's your favorite credit in Tom's? That's a great question. I gotta think about that Spencer. Okay, you get back to just later on.

I'll let you know. Snatch. I'm not familiar with that one. No? Oh my gosh, watch it. Which of these pellet sizes is biggest? I'm not familiar with that one. Which of these pellet sizes is biggest? Triple B, F, double aught, T. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Marge saying triple B. Logan, Matt, Randall, Chili, Sarah, Nate, and Cal say double aught, they got it. The correct answer is double aught, that's number 00. Triple B is.18 inches in diameter. T is.2 inches. F is.22 inches. And double aught is.33 inches. Double aught is buckshot and one of the biggest pellets produced

behind only triple aught and the rare quadruple aught. Mm. Question two, the topic is conservation. This next great question is via Nicholas Johnson. What does CREP stand for? That's C-R-E-P. The topic is conservation. What does CREP stand for Cal and Randall quick to answer this one no not Randall just Cal Cal is quick to

answer this one what does C R E P stand for stand for Randall you know this one I'm working on it okay Cal do you know this one with certainty no no not with certainty what does see E P stand for? We could have a zero percenter here on question two. How many letters do you think you have, Randall? One at the moment. OK. I've heard this acronym before. I'm digging around in the depths of my mind for what it might be. Logan, how do you feel about your answer? Not good. Not good. What does CREP stand for?

for. Cal, how many letters do you think you have right so far out of the four? I don't know. I can tell you how many I have wrong. OK. What does C R-P stand for? Phil TV show credits. What's come to mind so far for the best? I love the Mad Men opening credits because the music's kind of like an anachronistic to the rest of the show, but it fits really, really well. It fits super well.

It also set it up for, I think, at the end of the series, Don Draper to kill himself, and he never does. So I felt like- That's true. That was a running theory. I thought that was a little Easter egg and he was gonna jump out a skyscraper window at the end, but he doesn't. I really like the credits for... Did anyone ever watch Bojack Horseman on Netflix?

Oh yeah. I like that show. The song was catchy but also it was one of those opening credit sequences where things would change slightly in everything depending on what was happening in the story. Oh, that's fun. So you can go back and look for some Easter eggs and stuff. I love that. I recently watched the credits on one of my friends did some animation for a show called Common Side Effects.

It's like a new show and it's fucking awesome. Cool. Anything HBO. I think Succession also had a great one. Game of Thrones, of course, that one also had a changing credits. Oh, I got so bored with Game of Thrones. I missed your saying TV. I was referencing a movie. Oh. So, Snatch. We studied that in grad school.

Snatch is fantastic. Yeah, if you haven't seen it, you should watch that. Lock stock in two smoking barrels. Also very good. Both the credits and both of those are phenomenal. Does everyone have an answer for what does C-R-E-P stand for? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge without a C or an R saying environmental protection. Logan says construction research environmental protection. Oh, conservation research environmental protection Matt crop restoration blank Randall conservation reserve easement program Chile

conservation recreation engagement program Sarah crop restoration easement program Nate concert conservative, responsible, environmental protection. Cal, Conservation Reserve Easement Program. The correct answer is Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. Nobody got it right. We had a few folks with three out of four letters. The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, or CREP, is an offshoot of the Conservation Reserve Program, or CRP. Both programs address similar things, which is creating habitat with native vegetation. The biggest difference is CREP takes a more localized approach using federal and non-federal funding. CREP usually has more incentive-based contracts as well.

Question three, the topic is fishing. In what state is the Salton Sea? In what state is the Salton Sea? Matt, quick to answer. Matt, you have this one, right? Okay, nodding his head. Yes Well, oh really there's a there's an enormous hint if you know anything about Matt Miller Does anybody in here know anything about Matt Miller

Randall you have this one, right? Matt's Little admission there. It gives me an added boost of confidence. Yes. You do have this one, right? Did Matt's Hint help out any of the folks in the room. My dad says the same thing about where he's from Okay off that. Oh Give me a decent guess. I I really told too many people in what state where you from man, so I didn't see Kentucky Kentucky it is that classic classic Kentucky shame It's everybody ready

Logan an office neighbor with Matt doesn't even know what state he's from. Yeah, that's true. I don't know where Matt's from. Chilly, do you have an answer? No. Um, no. Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm gonna be real serious if I got this wrong.

1 in 50 chance. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying California. Logan says Florida, Matt says California, Randall says Arizona, Chilly thought an answer, Sarah and Nate and Cal say California. The correct answer is Matt's home state, California. Matt's got family in Arizona though. Matt, that was entirely based on your your comment there just want you

to know that oh the Salton Sea is located about 100 miles east of San Diego during the 1960s it was considered one of the state's most productive fisheries producing more poundage of fish per acre than any other lake in California about half a million anglers each year would flock there to catch Corvina, Croaker, Sargo, and Tilapia, but the sea has become too salty in the last 25 years with game fish populations almost nonexistent today. So it used to be a phenomenal fishery

and now nobody fishes there. Question four, the topic is hunting, and this next great question is via Samuel Hay. NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk. This is NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk. Randall, do you have this one right? Believe so. Do you remember when this happened?

Uh, vaguely. Okay. I remember Jared Allen. And Marge, Miss Vikings fan over here, Yeah. doesn't have an answer quite yet. Just gonna ask what team? I've watched this video about it a dozen times. It's epic.

NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 when he used this weapon to kill an elk. You gotta be specific with the weapon? Or just be like, category? Yes, you need to be specific. That's stupid. I would say, I wrote down Arizona, and then when Matt said he doesn't tell people

he's from there, I thought it's probably California then. Should have wrote down their own. But I didn't change my answer because I thought that would be disingenuous. That was my line of thinking as well. I only hear people say that about California. Are you from the Salton Sea area? No, no. Oh, okay. I'm from Orange County. You do have family in Arizona though, right? I do. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Again we're on question four. The topic is hunting hunting NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen grabbed headlines in 2009 When he used this weapon to kill an elk Is a if you in GTA 5 the Salton Sea is like an area you can go to and it's mostly just like Oh heads and trailers. It's GTA. I'm sure it's a it's a blanket stereotype, but I'm very curious about what it's like Is it called the Salton Sea? No, it's like a slightly off name like the GTA series does. It's really not too far off the real thing. OK. Everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge saying a crossbow. Logan says spear. Matt says spear. Randall, spear. Chilly says handgun. 44 mag. Sarah says shotgun. Nate says spear, Randall spear. Chili says handgun, 44 mag. Sarah says shotgun, Nate says spear.

Cal says spear. The correct answer is a spear. Alan filmed that hunt for Tim Wells' show, Relentless Pursuit. He was on a high-fenced game preserve in Illinois and speared the elk from a tree stand while it ate from a bait pile. The kill was covered by the New York Times and Bleacher Report with Allen saying, quote, he's addicted to spear hunting. I don't know how you become

addicted to spear hunting, but that those were the words he used. Question five. The topic is cooking. This next great question is a quarterback, but when he's hunting, he gets to unleash that, unleash that aggressiveness by spearing an elk. Very familiar. Yeah. Yeah. Question five, cooking.

I'd have to know how many sacks he got in one season. And then we could be like, okay, this is his aggressiveness per sack. This five letter word is defined as quote, a piece of tough fibrous tissue, uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone. This five-letter word is defined as a piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone. Matt, you have this one right as well. I'm confident. Have you ever been to the Salton Sea?

I have. What were you doing at the Salton Sea? Driving right past it. OK. It's very salty. Used to be called the Salton Sink. If you look up 50s videos, it was portrayed at some awesome water ski super nice resort. And it's like completely run down now.

Yeah. Wasn't that like the Colorado used to form that? It would like switch off like every decade. There'd be like one instance where it'd build up sediment. Maybe. I don't know what- And then it would go flood California and then it would build up sediment again. I assume the salt- And then it would go back into the Gulf. I'm reading the Emerald Mile right now. Okay.

I'm pretty sure that's the salt and sand. You would know more than me, but I feel like those sea type areas rarely have something flowing into them. They'd rather just... Yeah, it would happen like once a decade, it would happen for a little bit, and then the sediment would build up and it would be like boop, going back. Well, the Colorado does dump into the Gulf of California right there, so it'd have to flow right next to it. You're probably right, Marge.

Before all the dams got put in. This five-letter word is defined as a piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone. Sarah do you have this one right? I think so. Okay. You and Matt look confident. Marge do you have this one right? I think so. Cal do you have this one right? your last time we had a Spell this word with this amount of letters. I just wrote the word that I wanted it to be with that amount It's a spelling error, and I feel like I'm on the track of the spelling error. You think you might have spelled? Okay. Yeah, is everybody ready? Yep Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge and Logan and Matt saying sinew. Randall without an answer.

Chilly without an answer. Sarah says sinew. Nate says Fasca. Cal says fascia. The correct answer is sinew. That's S-I-N-E-W. Similar to tendons and ligaments, sinew is connective tissue that stabilizes and aids in movement. The biggest sources of it are around the backstrap and lower legs

on animals. It is sometimes used by survivalists as cordage. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Brutal. Here we are. Last place, we have Chile with one point. Whatever. Maggie and Randall Williams have two points. Logan, Sarah, Nate, and Cal are all tied up with three points. And in first place, it's Matt Miller. He's got four points.

All right, Matt. Get her one, Matt. Not going to get cocky. No, not one. If you've hung around with a lot of old turkey hunters, you have no doubt encountered those little plaques where you take a turkey's leg and foot and bend its fingers and dry its finger. So the turkeys give you the bird. And it's funny because it's like the bird, but he's giving you the bird. Well, check this out. We just made a turkey call called the bird. And the artwork is

a Turkey's foot giving you the bird Not only does it look great. It sounds great. This is a call that idiots can make good turkey sounds on It's got a machined polished and engraved acrylic pot It's got an anodized and laser engraved tone board and a crystal playing surface But the artwork is under the crystal So when you're scratching your little prep spot, there's a perfect place for a little prep spot without but the artwork is under the crystal. So when you're scratching your little prep spot, and there's a perfect place for a little prep spot without ruining the artwork,

when you're scratching your surface, you're not scratching off the artwork. It's got a diamond wood peg with an acrylic topped striker. Again, this is like, it's just a very easy to use pot call. You'll sit down, you'll scratch a little spot, you're gonna make great turkey sounds. Trust me. Find your new turkey pot call in a full assortment of meat eater and Phelps turkey calls at

He was like born there, lived there for like a month and then moved to Texas. So he tells people he's in Texan. Indeed. This land management technique involves partially cutting through a tree and laying it on the ground to create horizontal structure. Nate and Cal, maybe the only one to get this one right. Randall, do you have an answer yet? No, I don't. Tough day for Randall. It is. But he's been on a hot streak lately. Yeah. Maybe we shook his confidence on Friday night at Barks. We're too close to the sun here. Yeah, this is making me question your crossword scores, Randall.

Well, you know, my crossword scores because you're sitting in the office opposite from me. You can't fake that speed. Spencer told me watching Randall at trivia Friday night was like watching like somebody who goes to the rock climbing gym five days a week And then goes out on real rock That is brutal It's almost as though I didn't say actually say that yeah, I don't think Spencer would refer to his own game as a sham. Logan, do you know Randall's home stage?

We're gonna ask you about your neighbors and where they're from. Randall's home stage. Yeah, Randall is also Logan's office neighbor. No, he doesn't know. I don't know. Oh, it's so easy. He's an Ohioan, right?

Ohioan. Where was I born? Cincinnati. Where was I born? You don I know this. He's an Ohioan, right? Ohioan. OH. Where was I born? Cincinnati. Where was I born? You don't know that.

Matt says habitat engineering. Randall without an answer. Chili says crosscut. Sarah says cross sawing. Nate and Cal say hinge cutting. They got it. The correct answer is hinge cutting. Hinge cutting will keep the tree alive, creating cover and browse at ground level. It's a land management technique that's become popular in the last decade among deer hunters, but the practice also benefits rabbits and ground nesting birds. For more on this practice, check out Wired to Hunt's article called How to Improve Any Betting Area. You do some day trading there? Oh no, I'm just

figuring out where you were born. Point of order! Question seven. The topic is wildlife. This double-crested water bird is known for, quote, wing spreading, a standing technique it uses to dry its feathers. This double crested water bird is known for wing spreading, a standing technique it uses to dry its feathers. Nate, with a quick answer, who also has his cell phone out. I'm doing a public good. You're trying to find out where Randall was born, huh?

Sorry to think he was born out of the country. No, no, I'm still eligible for. Does it start with a T? No, the town or state? Well, can I give you the county? Sure. Hamilton. No, that's Cincinnati Getting question look seven no

That's where I went to school. I'll remind you that you are tied for first place right now Do you actually want to play the game? I? This is my new strategy is not being completely emotionally invested But you feel good about your answer on this one very okay Cal you look like you have it. I'm a shot one invested but you feel good about your answer on this one Mary okay Cal you look like you have I'm a shot one okay Randall do you have this one right no no how about you Matt no idea although Nate's hint about almost shooting one is interesting it's not an eagle this double there would have been similar repercussions double crested water bird is known for wing spreading, a standing technique it uses to dry its feathers.

Is everybody ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Marge without an answer. Logan says Sandhill Crane. Matt says Swan. Randall Pelican. Chilly without an answer.

Sarah, merganser. Nate and Cal say cormorant. They got it. The correct answer is cormorant. The double crested cormorant is the most numerous and widespread of the six North American cormorant species. They spend a lot of time in water, but because they don't have waterproof feathers, they also spend a lot of time drying. They accomplish this by standing

like ninjas with their wings extended outward. Can you picture a cormorant now, Randall? Yes. Oh, I do. Nate, how did you almost kill yourself a cormorant? I bet they taste real bad. I'll give you a short version. You can't shoot him in Georgia, which is where I try to learn how to duck hunt I don't know where you could shoot a cormorant. Oh, I think I think definitely not every state has depredation permits Mm-hmm for those private fishpond sure. Yeah, and so I was kicking around trying to jump puddle ducks and Saw ninja like bird sitting there. I thought that'd be pretty easy to shoot. And then I thought,

you're right with the vital. So I didn't looked it up. The boy that sure doesn't look like a duck. Question eight. The topic is hunting. This seven letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. This seven letter word

refers to the series of short loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle. I was gonna trash talk you Nate for your whitetail comment earlier. Lay it on me, I want it. Do you have this one right, Nate? Yes. Do you have this one right, Matt? I'm not confident. Okay, do you have a seven-letter word?

I do, it's seven letters. Seven-letter word refers to the series of short, loud grunts that a bull elk often produces at the end of a bugle. Are you really not gonna say whatever you're gonna say? Oh, no, I couldn't think of a good trash talk. Oh. I was just hoping someone else might have something along those lines. It's the thought that counts.

Yeah, yeah. Logan, let's test your other office neighbor trivia. Where's Cal from? Dude. Oh. Madam mystery. It's OK. What does Cal talk about a lot?

Yeah, he only talks about it every weekend. Marge had to write it down for Logan. Where's Brody from? Brody is also your office neighbor. I don't know. Oh, same state as Colorado. No, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. Oh, Erie. neighbor I don't know no Pennsylvania again question eight this seven letter word refers to the series of short loud grunts but where was Randall born is everybody ready go ahead and your. Marge without an answer.

Logan says chuckle. Matt chuckle. Randall chuckle. Chilly without an answer. We've got Sarah, Nate, and Count saying chuckle. They got it. The correct answer is chuckle. When it comes to chuckles and grunts, Jason Phelps says he typically likes to mimic the

bull he's calling to. So if that bull is chuckling and grunting, then he'll chuckle and grunt, Jason Phelps says he typically likes to mimic the bull he's calling to. So, if that bull is chuckling and grunting, then he'll chuckle and grunt as well. But if it's not, then he won't. Here is Dirk Durham from Phelps explaining the difference between a grunt and a chuckle. So the grunts are kind of a more drawn out type of noise, whereas the chuckle is a more rapid a little faster tempo type noise so here's the grunts and now here's the chuckles I See do that without moving his mouth

Had a video freeze for a second we're on question 9, but before we do that, let's get a scoreboard update from Don't even say it. Oh tell us who's out of the running chilly Maggie Oh, chili Maggie Randall are all out of the game But Logan and Sarah have four points Matt has five and tied up in first place are Internate and Ryan Callahan Wow Question nine the topic is natural history.

Yeah, but a lot of trivia gets written while I'm like eating supper, driving down the road, and something occurs to me, and then it winds up in my phone, from my phone, it goes to a the road, and something occurs to me, and then it winds up in my phone. From my phone, it goes to a Google Doc, and from the Google Doc, it might make it into a script. So that's just phase one of winding up as being a question.

Receiving a 5% critic score from Rotten Tomatoes, the site says it has an exceptionally poor laughs to jokes ratio, calling it quote, a sorry swan song for the talented Chris Farley. It was the last leading role Farley had with the movie coming out five months after his death.

There's gotta be a term for a movie that once all the leads are dead, you know? Sure. out five months after his death. There's gotta be a term for a movie that once all the leads are dead, you know? Sure. Yeah. Like that strikes me when I watch certain, like, I guess. Old movies. Yeah, there's, well. Old movies.

They're not leads, they're like Bad Santa. There's like a scene with Bernie Mac and what's his name? Billy Bob Thornton, you know who is it Phil I think your favorite movie Matt has a 5% on rotten I want to know if we had it talked about like a crack I think this maybe needs to be a future movie club so I have I have an excuse to watch it then yeah Otherwise this will never those movies. I mean, I don't know the last time you've seen it Matt But it was like if you watched as a kid. It's probably I mean I you probably love it

Just so I can watch it in our camper wow you could have. I was trying to give you the benefit. No, no, no, it's totally- Toss an egg, stealing something. Lots of Chris Martin falling, I think. All right, here's a correct answer review. One was double-ot pellet. Two, conservation reserve enhancement program. Three, California. Four, Spear.

Five, sinew. Six, hinge cutting. Seven, cormorant. Eight, chuckle. Nine, almost heroes. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update 5. Sinu 6. Hinge Cutting 7. Cormorant 8. Chuckle 9. Almost Heroes Phil, let's get a scoreboard update before we do question 10. John Ritter. Oh, yeah.

Uh, it is a three-way tie for first now. Matt, Nate, and Cal all have six points, and they are the only ones still in the running for the win. Question 10, the topic is fishing. Oh, I knew it. The last great question is the is John Paul Lucius. This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, no, it's fine.

cypress trout, and swamp bass. This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, cypress trout, and swamp bass. We have a three-way tie right now with Nate, Cal, and is it Randall or Matt? It's Matt. Matt. Are you joking? Nate and Cal, three-way tie for question 10. This fish goes by nicknames such as mud pike, cypress trout, and swamp bass.

And our three players in the lead do not yet have an answer. Three-way tie? Mmm. Could happen. No one write an answer down. That's tied. Do it. You won't. Mmm. Yes, that's what I'll do out of love for the game

Mud pike cypress trout and swamp bass I Feel liberated here. Do you have this one right Randall no I don't care Nate do you have an answer no dude I was doing so well because there were so few fishing questions and you hit us with the old number 10 fish Cypress trout swamp bass. Well there are four verticals. That's right they're bound to show up somewhere Nate. Right when you most expected. Fishing. Indeed. Like in a trivia game about all four. That's right. Do you guys give up? No. Randall do you have a do you think you have a chance at this one? I have a chance at it. Cal do you have this one right? No have a chance at this one? I have a chance at it Cal Do you have this one right now?

Everybody ready, but I have a guess Nate doing some erasing Yeah, I don't like my go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Marge saying snakehead Logan says musky That's what I was gonna Matt says Ling Randall says speckled trout Chili says catfish Sarah says catfish. Nate says tarpon. Cal crossed out red drum. Put snakehead. The correct answer is Bowfin. Nobody got that one right.

I was like it's probably not snakehead, it's the native one that looks like, yeah. Bowfin are the last remaining member of their entire genus. They are some of the oldest freshwater fish on Earth, with fossils dating back to the Jurassic era. Other than those nicknames, they have dogfish, cottonfish, grinners, beaverfish, blackfish, and mudfish as monikers. Great teeth on them. Alright, we're going to overtime. Play the drop, Phil.

T-T-T-Tiebreaker. You ain't first, you're last. I think just cut it at, if you ain't first, you're last, and then like go into other stuff that's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, f*** off, man. Wow, I haven't just reminded, it was just a reminder of how long it's been

since I've heard that. Yeah, I think it feels new again. All right. They're through ineptitude. The tie breaking question is a numerical question. Whoever is closest will be declared the winner. The tie breaking topic is public lands. How many national parks does the National Park Service manage?

How many national parks does the National Park Service manage? How many national parks does the National Park Service manage? These are the national parks like Yellowstone and none of the none of the other things that have designations that are managed by the Park Service. We're talking about national parks here. How many does the National Park Service manage? Not just in Montana, and everyone should come up with an answer because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Meat Eater will add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.

Nate, with such a quick answer, you'd almost think that he knows this one. I know that this is the only number I'll come up with. My wife got this water bottle with all of these little stick, small or big stickers. How many stickers? Small or big, okay. And she threw out a number the other day

about how many more she had to go. Okay, don't give us any more hints. That's it. Fascinating. How many national parks? Pretty good context, Nate. Does the national parks have a lot to go? That's, I'll wait.

No more clues. Nate might be wearing his lucky sweater today. Which I'll wear every time I come to trivia from you. That's unfortunate. He did change the mood of the room when Nate logged in. And he had to all of a sudden defend his outfit. He looks like Chris Evans in Knives Out. Thank you.

Not that I'm living in the glory days but this was an integral part of my wardrobe in high school which resulted in best dressed 2015. Did you buy that or did someone knit that for you? I bought it at Ross Dress for Less. Hell yeah Nate. Can you still take it back? I think I've passed the window. The man won best dress in high school. I'm not being sarcastic when I say you look good, man. You do look good. Thank you. I'm not jumping on this bandwagon. Excuse me. I got a little America Monday action as well. Oh wow. It's too late. You know what? I put more weight in what Randall and Chilly said if they actually dress nice. There you go Mark. Good one. Randall and Chilly said if they actually dress nice

March fired well March. I'm sorry margin or show up in a bear costume from time to time I compliment your fashion all the time. What does that say about you? Have you just gotten roasted walking into a room with a nice outfit on? Steve roasts me all the time. Okay, well that tracks. I've said I've liked your jumpers and stuff and then you throw shade. You know what? Who calls it a jumper? Pack your own gear from here on out. Good luck in Alaska.

MeatEater has a culture where if you're not wearing a MeatEater shirt, you look like a weirdo. That's true. So, if you want to see Nate's nice and potentially lucky sweater head over to YouTube for me personally dressing nice feels like putting a bunch of Shitty accessories on an old car like polishing a turd. Yeah All right, does everyone have an answer for how many Got any more the national park Again, we're down to Cal Nate. That's what Nate scoreboard tells me that and Nate go

ahead and reveal your answers we've got March saying 47 Logan says 115 Randall says 61 chili didn't write down an answer he doesn't want to show Says 52 Cal says 48 our remaining players. We have Nate with 68 Cal 48 and Matt 11 Somebody in the room is too off of the correct answer. It's me. It's probably not the correct answer It's 63 giving Nate the victory? He was five off of the real number. Randall was too off, but he was not. It reminds me of Friday night trivia.

It's not that good. There are 61 parks in the states, one in American Samoa and one in the Virgin Islands. In total, the National Park Service Service managed 431 sites that consist of battlefields monuments scenic trails and more so 63 was the right answer Nate you've never done this part before where is your dollar donation Matt's hint and my wife's water bottle, forgive me here.

And Ross dressed for less. Thank you. Ross can't take your donation. Not anybody gets his piece. I was not, wasn't prepared for this for obvious reasons. So I'm gonna punt this to Cal about the thing that you were talking about earlier. Maybe.

Cal was educating us on a corner crossing verdict that just happened mere hours ago on a corner crossing verdict that just happened a mere hours ago the Corner crossing ver the corner crossing bird. What do you have to tell us and then Nate will make his donation after that? Oh this like best thing since sliced bread so One of the highest courts in all the land just said that corner crossing is Illegal and in fact, it's never or sorry a corner crossing is illegal and in fact it's never or sorry corner crossing is legal and it has never been illegal and he in in his judgment he goes back to the land itself so that's it's a great great ruling for folks who like, you know, American freedom. Yeah, sure. We'll get more from that on Cal's podcast.

Now, Cal, who were some of the organizations that were a big part of making that happen? So you give Nate some inspiration for his donation. Oh, Wyoming BHA, I would think would be widely regarded as like the whistleblower organization of the the case that kicked off this lawsuit. So Nate, we'll ask again, where do you want your $500 to go? Wyoming BHA. Wyoming BHA. Good choice, appropriate choice.

Well done, Nate. Well earned victory. I thought this was gonna come sooner, but finally, is it as sweet as you'd imagine? Yep, I think I'm gonna go out and buy a crumble cookie to celebrate.
