Welcome to Meat-Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

I'm your host, Spencer Newark, and today we're joined by Janice, Brody, Randall, Seth, Marge, Logan, and Nate. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Deer's Four Verticles, which are hunting, fish, and conservation, and cooking. And there's a prize. Meadeer will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at win percentage. Brody is our winningest player in Me-Deeder, Trits. trivia history and his victorious, 39% of games that he plays. Damn!

That's a lot. That's followed by Clay at 36%, Steve at 35, Randall at 34, and Janus at 22. Wow. So Brody's played the most games. He's won the most games. Cays don't count. And he has the highest win percentage. There's no debate.

Brody's the meat eater trivia goat. He is? He is. 100%. We have our fourth ever meat eater trivia tournament, though. Sometime in the next six months will take place. We have one victory for Steve, one for Brody, one for Randall. Maybe that will be the one that settles who the goat is right now.

Because we all know goat debates, they all get settled eventually. That's right. And they happen in real time. But after somebody wants. Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themedeater.com with the subject line, IFAQ. Hannah Lewis says, how many watered bottles dispenser have? It feels like he has a new vessel.

Each game of trivia, I admit his commitment to hydration. I admire his commitment to hydration while hosting. What you're seeing, Hannah, is we have, my wife and I share four of these water bottles, and they're interchangeable. So it looks like I have many additions. Today, we have the white top and the green bottle,

but I can assure you our house, it's not just filled with water bottles. I feel like that's a tough thing to share. I feel like water bottles are really personal. You know what? They kind of are. I think this is the hot one right now, the Ovala. My wife keeps up on what the

best current hydration vessel is. We have like six of those at our house right now. Oh, you're an Oala house out as well. How does that because kids lose them and then we buy more and then they find them. What do you want to know, Yanni? Why, it's better than an analogy. Well, I could walk you through some of its features. We got the button that

opens the top. You can like suck out of it so it can be in this position and get a drink. You can tip it back and get a drink that way. And then again, they're interchangeable. So I, you know. What part of it is interchangeable? This white part with this green part. See that?

Yeah. That's why the Oval... You can do that on an analogy in too. The O'Wala is hot right now. You do that with an empty Sprite bottle and an empty Diet Coke bottle. That's true, too. And you can put a straw in it to drink up. Yeah, I've been sipping water out of a straw.

It's the worst. Do you use those suckers when you're hunting? No. No, it's too heavy. Yeah. Nalgin when I'm hunting. This is what the cool girls drink out of, though, right now, Yon. So Stanley's out.

I think Stanley you're not a water knower if you're drinking out of a Stanley right now That's a cup Yeah Stanley reverted back to like coal miners And stuff Yeah

Just like cracker barrel Stanley's great Alright we have some housekeeping Some folks have understandably Been frustrated that Spotify Has chapters on each episode That spoil the answers Of questions

We are working to fix this As of now There's no way for us to fully turn that off. It's Spotify's AI that is automatically applied to each episode. The best we can do at this moment is to manually remove them from each show until there's

a more thorough solution. Our advice is to just avoid looking at those chapters, unless of course you want to cheat and really impress your buddies. Have you guys seen that on Spotify? There's now like AI created chapters. And they say like for question one,

they debate if a hippo is a packadur or whatever. So it's says the answer right there. And if your eyes are wandering, you'll be able to cheat. AI, ruining lives. They are. No, I'm still an Apple. Me too.

Podcast guy. All right, 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, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything? How's that? Just tend to win everything.

Game on, suckers. Question one, the topic is conservation, and as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these national parks is the furthest east? Is it, Biscayne, petrified forest, big bend, or badlands? Not the furthest east of all 63 or 64 national parks. east of these four. Is it Biscayne, petrified forest, Big Bend,

or Badlands? Randall, I heard you would have been victorious with a perfect game. Oh yeah, he was talking all about it. I just think it was like a good set of questions for me. Oh, thank you. Well, you could have moved it to Tuesday

and I could have attended. I could have. No, we can't record on Tuesdays anymore. It's too close to the deadline. Oh, no. You will not get any more days where we are recording 24 hours in advance. So, could not move it to Tuesday for you. Which of these national parks is the furthest east? Biscayne, petrified forest, Big Bend, or Badlands?

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan saying, Badlands. Nate, Badlands, Seth, Badlands, Randall, and Janus, and Marge and Brody. say Biscayne, they got it. Drake fans on this side of the room. The correct answer is Biscayne. Petrified Forest is located in Arizona.

Big Bend is in Texas. Badlands is in South Dakota. And Biscayn is in Florida. The park is within sight of Miami and protects everything from shipwrecks to manatees. It is located about 1,400 miles further east than Badlands or Big Bend.

I think I've done some fishing in that park. Big bone fishing. Is it, or is Biscayne Bay? Is that part of it? Yeah, I mean, it's that same zone. Question two, the topic is gear. This next great question is via Larry Ziegler. Yetty announced in 2024 that they acquired this backpack brand. Yetty announced in 2024 that they acquired this backpack brand.

A lot of confident players. So, Spencer, while we're waiting, I don't know if. this has been talked about before, but how does your wife feel about Taylor Swift's engagement? Oh, Jesus. Our household is becoming cynical on the whole thing. Yeah. Same over here, Spencer.

Phil's household was ahead of us. So, uh, there wasn't a lot of fanfare. Why? You were such a Swifty, not that long ago. I could still be a Swifty and like, you know, enjoy the music and the extracurriculars. Don't believe in it. We could discuss off. Yetty announced in 2024 that they

acquired this backpack brand. I just think it's a real huge boon for the Cincinnati Bearcats. I'm hoping our recruiting class next year is stronger because of it. Both Kelsey Brothers went there, right? It's crazy. True love blossomed right before the season. Oh, are you one of those conspiracies? No, I just think it's crazy.

Everything so manufactured and fake. Not every moment has to be like a commercial opportunity. Oh, but that's what they're doing with it? It's far beyond, like, you know, just like their relationship. I don't need to, like, spend on a lot of time talking about this. Spencer, you're kind of coming alive right now. I'll give you all the details. I think your instincts on this are correct.

I think that we're losing listeners. Maybe over a 40 of Mickey's. I still think she makes good music. I like that her fandom has created, like, this whole other universe where folks are very passionate about things in a way that, you know, people who care about Star Wars. I thought you wanted to move on. Is everybody ready? I wish Taylor the best.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan and Nate and Seth and Randall and Janus and Marge and Brody saying Mystery Ranch. They got it. The correct answer is Mystery Ranch. Yeti purchased Mystery Ranch for $36 million in January 2024. Less than 10 months later, rumors began to swirl that Yetty plan.

to sunset the brand in 2026, yet he softly denied those claims, saying they're excited about the future of Mystery Ranch's hunt and outdoor products. People in this room did very well because that is a local brand. I was going to say we could file that under Bozeman gossip. No, this was covered in magazines podcast. Oh, I know, but it also squarely fits within the realm of Bozeman gossip. You know, they made a scene on the runway in New York Fashion Week. Oh, I did not know this. With Chloe, they did a whole like fanny pack thing. Good for them. Which was odd, I thought, but cool.

Question three, the topic is hunting. Gunblank.com claims to be, quote, the world's largest online marketplace for firearms, ammo, and accessories. More quick answers in the room. Gunblank.com claims to be the world's largest online marketplace for firearms, ammo, and accessories. I'm looking forward to Randall's review. Yeah, Randen. How many hours have you spent on this website? Oh, countless.

Hundreds. I was just trying to think of how many guns I've bought on it. How many have you sold there, you think? Is it more? I don't sell online. My buddy sells a lot on there, but they take fees. I'd much rather just list it locally or like on a forum where I can, and then just get it pay for FFL transfer.

There you go. Gunblank.com claims to be the world's largest. You don't really sell guns anyway. You just buy them. Online marketplace for firearms, ammo, and accessories. Yeah, you know, I was a bigger fan of arms list, but they shut that down. Dude, RIP. Yeah, Montana Gun Traders is a serviceable substitute. What do you thoughts on tax swap?

I don't, tax swap sounds a little too. Adds the list for me. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan and Nate. and Seth and Randall and Janice and Brody saying Broker, Marge without an answer.

The correct answer is Gunbroker.com. Gunbroker.com is sold over 31 million items related to firearms. They are an auction-based website with 8 million registered buyers and sellers. Their inventory includes 37,022 long rifles

and 69,012-gauge shotguns. I've only bought one. You want to know what it was? Sure. It was the Model 70 that's not pre-64, but that G-series that was made like the pre-64s, you follow on me? The good one they made after they were bad. Yeah. I had one of those.

That it had the controlled extraction instead of the push feed, you know. Did you buy it from Brody? No, I bought it from Gunbroker. It was in a 6-555 suite, which is one of Chuck Hawks's. If you ever read his website, one of his all-time favorite. tables one of his favorites. Yeah.

Was that a competitive auction for that gun? I don't know if it was competitive. I knew that I was going to have to pay a pretty penny for it because it was prime condition and I ended up paying just about what I thought

I'd have to pay for him. Okay. Randall, give me a story from gunbroker.com. Well, I'm just trying to think. I bought my HK. USC from there. Oh, that's your most recent purchase, right? That's my most recent gunbroker purchase. Was that competitive? No, it wasn't. I got it for a song. But then the really interesting

thing is I found an auction, I hope this doesn't get anybody in trouble, but I found an auction for some magazines that I needed. And then I found, I started clicking around and I realized that this guy was local. And so I circumvented, wow, gunbroker. Well done. And just met up with him in person and did the old face-to-face cash deal like I like to at a truck stop. Good for you. And he's a great guy, too. We had a really interesting talk.

He's a real collector. That can't happen when it's just an anonymous auction. That's the thing. You lose the human touch. Question four. The topic is fishing. What state is Lake Pontchatrain? The spelling on that is P-O-N-T-H-A-R-T-R-A-N.

What state is Lake Poncha train? Randall, very quick to answer. He was the only one. Yanni has now joined him with an answer. Randall, have you ever been to this place? Oh, yeah. Okay. What state is Lake Pontch-Train?

Many times. That has inspired Seth now. that didn't inspire me I just I don't know and I just picked one of 50 Yanni you seem confident

have you been there I don't I think I've maybe driven by it Hmm What state is Lake Poncha train Brody how do you feel about your answer I'm going with the first one that popped in my head

Not great Not great But I have hope When you say the answer I'm going to say I knew it Okay, I believe you. Marge?

Taking a guess. Okay. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan saying Maine. Nate, Minnesota, just playing the odds there. Seth, Texas, Randall, Louisiana, Janus, Louisiana, Marge, West Virginia, Brody, Louisiana. The correct answer is Louisiana.

At 631 square miles, Lake Poncha train is the 11th biggest lake in the United States but despite its name it's technically an estuary instead of a lake Poncha train is best known for its speckled trout and redfish as well as the world's longest continuous

bridge over water Randall give me a Poncha train story now since you've been there so many times well I mean you drive over it if you're going up to Baton Rouge or Lafayette or wherever but a good friend of mine Chris McAluso loves to fish

Oh, he did one minute fishing. On Lake Pontchatrain. Was he successful? No, and he also had his camera at the weird angle, so just kind of looking up at his bottom of his shirt. But a great guy, he loves it. I would like to make it

down there and actually get on the water someday, but I have driven over it many times. Yanni, do you remember the bridge? Have you been on the world's longest bridge? Did we drive over it? From New Orleans to Venice? No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Question five. I don't think I have.

The topic is. is camping. In campers and RVs, black water tanks collect from toilets while this colored tank collects from sinks and showers. Ooh. Confident room.

In campers and RVs, black water tanks collect from toilets while this colored tank collects from sinks and showers. May have another 100% here. Come on, Mags.

I wrote some down. It's up to you, Marge. Is everybody ready? Here's a question one more time. In campers and RVs, black water tanks collect from toilets, while this colored tank collects from sinks and showers. Not a big camper person. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Logan and Nate and Seth and Randall and Janice and Marge and Brody. The whole room says gray. The whole room got it right. The correct answer is gray. The three primary tanks that most campers and RVs have are a freshwater tank, gray water tank, and black water tank. The freshwater tank provides clean water for drinking and washing, while gray and black hold the wastewater. It's recommended when draining these that you drain the black first and gray second, which ensures all human waste gets washed out of your hose. All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.

Give us a scoreboard update. This is a pretty high-scoring game. No one has below three points. Logan, Nate, Seth, and Maggi are all tied up with three, and we've got three perfect games because Randall, Yannis, and Brody have five points at halftime. I don't know if we've seen three perfect games. What was the Shelby Index? A four.

You guys are, uh... Yeah, and I thought that was low. To be honest. Hunting big country isn't for the faint of heart. You got steep ground, long distances, and miles of crown land that aren't always easy to navigate. That's why Anex's. hunt just got a serious upgrade for hunters in Canada.

Question six, the topic is fishing.

This next great question is via Justin Phillips. Game and Fish magazine declared this man, quote, bass fishing's goat after he announced his tournament retirement in 2023. We've talked about the trivia goat

of Brody Henderson. Now we're looking for bass fishing's goat. Which Game and Fish called him that after he announced his tournament retirement in 2023. Tough subject for Randall. This could ruin his perfect game,

while Janice and Brody seem to like their answers. Game and Fish magazine declared this man Bass Fishing's Goat after he announced his tournament retirement in 2023. If you don't know Goat, that's greatest of all time. Is everybody ready? talked about earlier in this episode we did

Randall? I don't like my answer but... Wow. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Logan, without an answer Nate says Ricky Bobby Seth says Kevin Van Dam Randall says Mike Eichenelli, Janis KVD, Marge

without an answer, Brody, KVD the correct answer is Kevin Van Dam. KVD retired from tournaments after earning $7 million through 36 years of competitive fishing. In that time, he won 25 tournaments, including

four Bassmaster Classics and seven Angler of the Year Awards. In total, he weighed in over 118,000 pounds of bass as a professional fisherman. From Kalamazoo. Another product of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Him and Derek Jeter. That's right.

And Dionis Poutel's. I like those of the two guys. Well, who else is from there? Give me some other names. Yeah, you're putting me on the spot now. Jonathan Van Dam as well His brother Yeah And I think his sonfish is now

Then he owns D&R right Yeah Yeah his family His family Yeah Kevin Van Dam Question 7 The topic is biology

Noah defines this Eight letter word as Quote the examination Of the dead body Or carcass of an animal Noah defines This eight letter word as the examination of the

dead body or carcass of an animal Seth is KVD your goat as well would you agree with Game and Fish magazine uh yeah I mean he's the stats certainly don't lie

I don't know how you'd argue yeah with it and he was kind of around maybe at like one of bass fishing's peaks when it had ESPN air time when it was like as cool as it could be, and he was still winning all these tournaments.

Noah defines this eight-letter word as the examination of the dead body or carcass of an animal. Eight letters, huh? Eight letters. Randall lost his perfect game. Randall, do you know who KVD is? I do, and I should have known that

because when I was down in Springfield, Missouri, I got to go through the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame. There's a big old KVD thing there, but I was just, I just, I couldn't think of any tournament anglers except for Mike Ikenali and I kept thinking Jimmy Houston and Bill Danz.

Is everybody ready? Just didn't get me anywhere. Noah defines this eight-letter word is the examination of a body That's, oh, I know. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan saying

Autopsy, Nate and Seth and Randall and Janus and Brody saying necropsy, marge without an answer. Correct answer is neocopsy. An autopsy is to humans as a necropsy is to animals. These are commonly done by vets, biologists, and game wardens. Tony Peterson thinks performing necropsies will make you a better hunter to hear the reasoning why. Go read his article on the meeditor

dot com called why deer hunters should always perform a necropsy. Oh, you should be doing that stuff with your kids after they kill one. That's right. A lot of stuff. I agree. I like to promote this idea as well especially if you're interested in terminal ballistics yes sir or what a deer has been eating or the wound channel that your projecting makes

well both are equally important that's right you'll be a more if you just poke around in there question eight the topic is cooking and this next great question is via Colin T this invasive

mammal was the target of a 2025 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called Save a Swamp, Saute a Blank. Uh-oh. Randall and Seth, very quick to answer. This invasive mammal was the target of a 2025 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called, quote, save a swamp, saute a blank.

Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? Perfect game on the line on question eight. I think it's a mammal. Them little dash marks. They are irrelevant. It could be a two-letter word. It could be a 15-letter word. He's checking.

Save a swamp, saute a cowboy. This invasive mammal was the target of a 2025 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called Save a Swamp, Saute a Blank. Big and Rich was my favorite country group when I was a kid. Really? They loved South Dakota. Oh. They loved coming there and performing on their first album, horse of a different color. Their license plates on their motorcycles or South Dakota plates.

The name is Big and Rich? Big and Rich. That's right. John Rich. John Rich. And Big Kenny. That's right. They split up for a while, Yanni.

It was kind of a devastating moment for Big and Rich fans. But now they're back together. Hmm. I didn't realize that. This invasive mammal was the target of a 2025 U.S. Fish and Wildlife service campaign called save save a swamp saute a blank their solo careers did not work out they just had to they had to reunite they couldn't be just big or just rich didn't work didn't work hauling oats were you big and rich fans set yeah about cowboy Troy yeah cowboy Troy yeah

I was just thinking cowboy Troy like 30 seconds ago yeah it's everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan saying the famous mammal iguana. Nate saying the famous mammal snake. We have sets saying Nutria. Randall Nutriya. Janis Nutria, Marge without an answer. Brody, Nutria.

They got it. The correct answer is Nutriya. I couldn't remember it. I was like, iguana doesn't make sense. It's also not a mammal. It's a federal agency. It's not going to rhyme. Nutria are originally from South America.

They destroy North American wetlands by eating the roots of native plants, which accelerates erosion and turns marshes into open water. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service encourages their harvest, saying Nutria have a lean, mild flesh that tastes like rabbit or the dark meat of a turkey. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries shares recipes on their website for Nutria Gumbo and Nutriah Jumbalia. All right, Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.

Let's see here. Looks like Logan, Nate, and Maggie are out of the running for the win. We've got Seth with six points. Randall is seven and tied up with a perfect game still. Wow. Are Janus and Brody with eight? Here's question nine. The topic is...

Frontiersman. Frontiersman Davy Crockett died on March 6, 1836 in this modern city. Brody and Randall And Nate Not my strong suit Frontiersman Davy Crockett died on March 6, 1836 in this modern city

I can tell you the state Does that get me anything? Not enough Frontiersman Davey Crockett died on March 6th, 1836 in this modern city. Nate, do you know this one? How about a little Davey Crockett for us, Randall?

Let her rip. Davey, Davey. I felt like we had a chorus there. I was going to start from the beginning. You guys started at the chorus. I don't really have the whole number now. Hold on a mountain top of d'arnel. There you go.

That's right. Perfect. Yanni, how do you feel about your answer? It is a city in this great state. Okay. That's a hint. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yes! ...saying New Orleans, Nate, saying San Antonio, Seth, Nashville, Randall, and Janus, San Antonio, Marge, Philadelphia, Brody, San Antonio. The correct answer is San Antonio. Thousands of Mexican soldiers stormed the

lightly defended Alamo in San Antonio. The day Crockett died. Some historians say he went down fighting with a heroic last stand, while others claim he surrendered and was executed. For more on this controversial subject, go read Pat Durkin's article on the meat eater.com called Did Davy Crockett go down swinging? Has anyone been to the Alamo? Yep, I have.

Marge, you didn't know Davey Crockett died there. I guess I didn't read enough plaques. Tell me about the visit you had there, Brody. It was, you know, it's cool. You go into a little, like, it's a chapel museum, I think they call it, isn't it? I think so. Yeah, there's some cool stuff in there.

We weren't there long. We were just passing through San Antonio on our way down to Padre Island, so we didn't stay long. Who else died there? Bowie. Everyone. Everyone. Pretty much.

Except for, what's his name, the Mexican general? Santa. Here's a correct answer review so far One was Biscay National Park Two mystery ranch Three gunbroker dot com Four Louisiana Five gray

Six Kevin Van Dam Seven necropsy Eight Nutria Nine San Antonio Phil how's the scoreboard look going into question 10 Well the standings Remain the same with Brody and Janus Still at their perfect game

points in Randall, one point behind at eight. Question 10, the topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Sam Woodward. For sending this great question. Sam 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. According to pheasants forever, this is the peak egg laying month for pheasants. Shee. According to pheasants forever, this is the peak egg-laying month for pheasants.

We have Janice and Brody with blank whiteboards. They are tied right now with a perfect game. Randall is one point behind them. If he could get this right, and they falter, we will have a three-way tie. Well, you know what they say about me, Spencer? What do they say? One of my strong suits is questions about birds. And who is they?

Randall There's a guy on Instagram that points out every time that I get a bird question row

No ornithologists that's what they say about Randall According to pheasants forever this is the

peak egg laying month for pheasants Oh man I want to change but I'm not going Two perfect games on the line

Is everybody ready Yes Go ahead and reveal your answers We have Logan

Sang June. Nate, April, Seth, May, Randall, March, Janice, May. Marge, May, Brody, May. The correct answer

is May. We have two perfect games between Brody and Janus. The average hen lays a dozen eggs that take 23 days to hatch. This is a taxing process that can cause a peasant to lose 75%

of their body fat and 10% of their body weight. They then hit their poorest physical condition in August, which is when they're most susceptible to disease and predators. All right, we're headed to overtime. Play the drop, Phil. Tiebreaker.

The tiebreaker will be a numerical question. We are down to Brody and Janus. Can I just comment on that drop? That feels so intense to me. I feel like my life is on the line. Yeah, that's a good one. That's how it should feel. Like that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, was it like, was he like running man or something like that?

Like I feel like I'm about to enter into like something like that. Well, there's a $1,000 donation on the line because you two boys put up perfect games today and it could go up to $1,100 if one of you gets this right on the nose. I find that drop very relaxing. All right, everyone in the room will play along though because if somebody gets this right on the knows. Mediter is going to add that extra $100. We've already doubled the donation today. Let's see if we can

get some more. One more question. Have we had a perfect game tiebreaker before? One time. That has happened one time in Mediator trivia history. I think this is like episode 180. So it's now happened twice. If I lose after overtime, do I still get the perfect game? Yeah.

You'll be credited with the perfect game. Have you had a perfect game before? I don't know. Okay. Maybe a lot of history to be made here all right the tie-breaking subject is nature what percentage of Americans think they could beat a bald ego

a bald eagle in an unarmed fight a bald ego they'd be like fighting brodie what percentage of Americans you're the eagle I know I thought you said a bald ego I did

What percentage of Americans I think they could beat a bald eagle In an unarmed fight This is via a 2021 poll Who did the poll? I think it was UGov It was like a pretty official Let me see if I got

A government agency asked this question Oh UGov is like a It's like it's just a website in it I don't know Can I make a small request What do you got? You can avoid tie break like this kind of this is like it was you gov that was a you gov poll what percentage of americans think they could beat a bond eagle in an unarmed fight like the boon and crockett one we had last time that was like very cut and dry we got to mix in a fun one every now and then I don't think this is fun so like I feel like 100% of males in our country how far say I can so that's 50% more now what percentage out of females are you

Are you trying to help Brody? I'm just having fun with it. How many percentage points would you like us to go to? I want us to get it right on the no, so we're not doing any decimals. Just write a whole number. There were 1,200 U.S. adults polled for this question. What percentage of Americans think they could beat a bald eagle in an unarmed fight? Do you think this is a phone call survey type of thing?

I don't know. They might have been standing outside of the Sears. Ashkosh, Wisconsin. The question would be, are people who have landlines more likely to be confident to fight against a bald eagle? Again, 1,200 Americans were surveyed

for this question. They're probably more traditional, so they likely have a higher reverence for the capabilities of our nations. But more confidence in their fighting skills. They leave the question a little open-ended, so what does it mean to beat the bald eagle? Like, did you just defeat it and it can't

rassily anymore, or is it dead? You just killed the thing, I don't know I think whenever I think of beating a bird I think of it not being able to fly away Usually when I fight a ball of eagle I break its neck. Flightless birds Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal

your answers. We have Logan saying 53% Nate 69. Nice. Seth 67 Randall 87 Marge 52 In our two players left we have Brody saying 62

and Yanni saying 78% of Americans could beat a bald eagle in an unarmed fight. Did someone get it right on the nose? The correct answer is 30% making Brody our winner.

Wow. He was 32% of totally a landline pole. But you're all of people. I think again you have to consider they're doing this survey like outside of a Sears in Wisconsin

And not everyone is like, yeah, I could, I could whoop. Have those people seen a bald eagle? No. 30% of Americans think they could beat one in a fight. In that same 2021 poll, only 18% of Britain said they could beat up an eagle. And men were more confident than women with 39% of American men versus 22% of American women

saying they'd win the fight. The study found that American women and British men have about the same confidence of winning fights with kangaroos and wolves. I've never really bought into the whole crisis of masculinity thing, but that 39% number has me concerned. It's even worse. If you're on the other side of the Atlantic, those folks

really don't believe in their animal fighting ability. So Brody, who did not like the question, is the winner? Brody, where is that $1,000 donation going today? Oh, it's $1,000. A thousand dollars. We've done this in the past, you could split it up into two $500 donations. I'll let Yonis pick for $500. No, go give someone

the big grand. There you go. Make their day. Splash it. I'm going to go Mule Deer Foundation. Mule Deer Foundation. I think Brody is their biggest donor on behalf of meat eater trivia. What do you like about Mule Deer Foundation? I like big mule deer bucks. And you like their hats.

Yeah. You're not wearing one right now. I like that hat with the silhouetted buck with a sunrise. Yeah, I need one of those. There you go. $1,000 via meat eater and Brody going to the Mule Deer Foundation. Well done, Janice. Thanks.

Very close. Very. Not going to knock. No. It's like finishing a 100-mile race, but not, you know, get in first place. Still feel real good about it. Made it to the end. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
