Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Brody, Corey, Alyssa, Logan, Nate, and Sarah. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat, Dieter's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meaddeer will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we have a visual stat.

This is via a Reddit user named Keith, who listens to the show. He tracked down over $100,000 in trivia donations and made this chart showing who gives money to where. Take a look at that. What stands out to you, Brody, about your... donations. You've given $30,000 to conservation. You love mule deer.

Well, yeah. I'm trying to figure out how this thing is like set up. Well, you're the top line. Everything in that top line is money you have given. You are single-handedly. You've given 90% of meat eaters trivia donation money to the mule deer foundation.

90% of the money that's gone there is Ben via you. Wow. I like the old deer Spencer. You do? You and Yanni. And Randall really liked Colorado trying to fight the lion hunting. The land access initiative is where I gave the most. You have given a lot of money there. That's right. The LAI should be thanking you.

Yeah. Man, that's an impressive. Yeah. Trying to look at other people. This is good. Keith did wonderful work there. Randall, this stuck out to me. He's given the most money in the organization to NWTF.

And he killed his first turkey last spring. That's a guy who just loves turkeys for the love of turkey. He's not even killing him. That's Kentucky blood in him. Must be. You, Yanni and Randall, though, Brody. You guys will do the... You know what I'd like to see is how many different ones we've donated to, like, in total.

Like, including all the little guys. Sure. What's impressive is Brody and Randall have donated more individually than 30 other people combined. Oh, you know what? I didn't notice that until... Wow. Big brains over there. Yeah.

Still haven't gotten that hat from Mule Deer Foundation yet. Oh, okay. Well, you just remind him. You've sent him $4,500. You should group them and then do a lifetime membership and get like a free gun or something. Now, Randall's given a lot of money to his former employer there, TRCP. That's called a kickback. He just really respects the work they're doing over there.

That's what that chart tells us. All right, IFAQ this week. Send me your IFAQs at trivia at the meat eater.com. Chris Rail says, Can Canadians win listener question of the week? Yes, they can, Chris. They have won it in the past. We've had people win beyond North America.

If we can't get you the board game, we will get you a gift card instead because I know shipping to Canada is like, what, $35? Some of you e-commerce people. It is $35. So we'll give you a nice, hefty gift card if we can't get you that board game. That way, you don't have to think about shipping so much. How much FHF stuff do you send to? Canada, Nate. Almost all of it's through wholesale.

So Canadians, they can get some with H.S. All right, the Shelby Index 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 fishing, and this will be multiple choice. According to San Juan Rod Works, this is the most common fly rod length. Is it 7 foot, 8 foot, 9 foot, or 10 foot? According to San Juan Rod Works, this is the most common fly rod length. 7 foot, 8 foot, 9 foot, 10 foot. That seems like kind of like I'm not trash in this company.

I don't know them, but it's kind of an obscure according to. Well, there were a lot of fly rod brands that would say this same exact thing. I just assigned it to San Juan Rod Works. I had to pick somebody. A lot of fly fishing companies too. I would see it on their website saying this same thing. So this is the most common fly rod length Your four choices

Seven foot, eight foot Nine foot Cory did you really sweat this one hard Man dripping over here I don't have a clue Quick to answer Nate has no confidence Going into question one

I have a hunch Sarah's got this one too Yeah I think so Is everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers Nate says nine foot Let's go Logan says eight Sarah and Corey

say nine. Alyssa, 7, Brody, 9. The correct answer is 9 foot. I was thinking 7. I bet it wouldn't have been like 50 years ago. That's probably not the most common weight either, though. You don't think of 7 weight? No.

What do you think it would have been 50 years ago? According to Wild Water Fly Fishing, 6 to 8 foot rods are short rods, 9 foot rods are standard rods, and 10 plus are long rods. Field and Stream calls the nine-foot five-weight, the classic all-around trout rod. They say that length and weight is big enough to handle a 20-inch trout while still being light enough to have fun catching eight-inchers. How many nine-foot rods do you own, Brody? I don't know. I mean, I don't have as much stuff as I used to.

Is that the most common rod? Probably half a dozen. Is that the most common rod you own? Yeah, it's what you're going to put in your client's hands every time, unless you're fishing like some teeny little stream or something like that. Same for you, Corey. Yeah, man, I probably have half a dozen, but I probably have another half a dozen that are just broken, collecting dust to my garage.

Because I don't want to pay the stocking fee to have them warrantied. It used to be, like, to send them in and you got a brand new one. Yeah, well, and it's expensive now. Yeah, you just buy a brand new cheapo that's going to break just as hard as an expensive road. So our former flygrod guides agree, nine foot, most common length. Question two, the topic is the outdoors. This next great question is, Greg Parsons.

This candy was invented in 1931 and has a rapper that features outdoor scenes such as fishing, archery, and hiking. What's the category? Outdoors. This candy was invented in 1931 and has a rapper that features outdoor scenes such as fishing, archery, and hiking. The room is stumped. We have six blank whiteboards among our players.

This candy was invented in 1931 and has a rapper that features outdoor scenes such as fishing. Is this candy still around? And hiking. Is this candy still around? Not going to give you any things. But do you think I would ask the question if this candy disappeared in like the 1950s? Well, I don't know. I mean, like maybe.

Maybe. I think I got this one. Does it still feature outdoor scenes? Not going to tell you anything else. Or I'm like adjacent to it. Nate thinks he has it now. I like, uh. Did you get question one right, Nate?

Yep. Okay. This candy was invented in 1931. It has a rapper that features outdoor scenes such as fishing, archery, and hiking. Nate, the only player to come up with an answer so far. I've got one. Okay. Do you like your answer, love what you got?

No, but I'm just trying to think of something that might have been from 1931. What you got? Which I wasn't around there, so I don't know. Nate is anxiously wanting to see your whiteboard. Oh, that's a... And they disagree. Oh. I think that one might be more right.

Okay, Logan likes Nate's answer. This candy was invented in 1931 and has a rapper that features outdoor scenes, such as fishing, archery, and hiking. Yeah. I want to give a hint, but I don't want to give a hint. Don't give a hint. You should give a hint, Nate. Well, I don't know if I'm right.

Nate would prefer to win the game than give a hint. Brody's struggling. The more I think about it. Dude. Okay. Logan and Nate have declared Nate's answer correct. I'm pretty excited about this. Do you have an answer, Brody?

I do. I don't think it's right. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says, Tuts. Pop. Logan says good

and plenty. Sarah without an answer, Corey says Wurthers. Alyssa says, Bazooka Gump. Brody, Tootsie Roll. The correct answer is Tootsie Pop. Nate, got that right. Now, I think it's technically

a Tootsie Roll pop. Yeah, like, listen. You're talking about that little thing, no, no, no, no. No, no. The Totsie rolls don't have pictures on them. Dude, I just remember, You had to, like, find a star or something. Back in 1931.

Hey, I was getting... We are not... That's what it is. We are not going to give that to Brody. Oh, I don't think you should. Yeah. And he's just... I forgot about those.

The most famous scene on the Tootsie Pop packaging is the little boy dressed as a Native American who's shooting an arrow at a star. About 30% of Tootsie Pop's have it. It's just an urban legend that Tootsie Pop would give you a free sucker in exchange for the special rappers, and no one is sure how the tall tale started. Adding to the confusion is that some businesses do actually honor the fake promotion,

but it's not endorsed by Tootsie Pop. My barber did growing up. Oh, okay. He was just doing that out of the kindness of his heart. Tutsi Pop, she was not getting any kickbacks from Tootsie Pop. Good for her. Good for you, Nate. Thank you.

For getting that one. Question three, the topic is wildlike. What continent are Burmese? pythons native to well what continent are Burmese pythons native to

oh Alyssa has an injury what happened Alyssa I heard a nouch I was just I'm missing cluts the marker

what continent are Burmese pythons native two this is question three you have this one right Nate I feel like you're trying to trick me but you're never trying to trick me Hmm.

Ooh. What do you think? Is this a trick question or no? I don't, I don't, I'm not going to answer. Like, how could it be a trick question? It's one of seven continents. Yeah, but I think he's trying to film. It can't be like, oh, they're actually from Mars.

That that would be me trying to trick to see of tranquility. What continent are Burmese pythons native to? Sarah, do you have this one right? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Corey is torn down there. How many continents do you have written down? Two.

Two, okay. It's not too late, Alyssa. You can change your answer. I know. Every time I do that, I end up being wrong. Right? What continent are Burmese pythons native to? Oh.

All right, I'm doing it a little. Corey, are you ready? Let's go. Alyssa, are you ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers, Nate, and Logan and Sarah and Corey say Asia. Alyssa says Australia. Brody says Asia.

The correct answer is Asia. Burmese pythons are named after the country of Burma, which is now known as Myanmar. Although they are one of America's most destructive invasive species, they are listed as vulnerable in their native range. Their populations in Southeast Asia are down 30 percent in the last few. decades due to habitat loss and over-harvesting. Question for, the topic is cooking. This next great question is via Chris Rose. Serious Eats defines this culinary technique as, quote, slow cooking a steak or roast before

finishing it off on a hot surface. Serious Eats defines this culinary technique as slow cooking a steak or roast. before finishing it off on a hot surface. Logan, Nate, Sarah, all quick to answer. They all look confident. Corey, do you have this one right? I believe so. Okay, Brody has now joined them.

And Alyssa. No, I'm just theorizing. Is everybody ready? Serious Eats defines this culinary technique as slow cooking a steak or roast before finishing it off on a hot, surface. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Logan and Sarah. Everybody says reverse sear. Everybody got it right. The correct answer is reverse sear. Serious Eats claims this is

the best way to get a medium rare steak that also has a crisp crust. Danielle Pruitt says it's best done with a thick cut steak, whole tenderloin, or backstrap. For more on this process, go read her article on the meat eater.com called The Correct Way to Reveret.com. Sear a steak. I end up splattering oil all over my kitchen when I do this. What am I doing wrong? Yeah, it just happens.

Nothing. Okay. Cook outside. You should get a grease cover for your pan. There you go. Thank you. It only kind of works, though, because then, I don't know, it's just, I feel like it kind of steams it

a little bit more when you do that. You get the, like, grated one? Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, you're still like, you put it on, it splashes, then you put that out. It does help, for sure. If you're still getting grease on something

that you have to do. Part of cooking. Might as well to be the stove. There you go. Question 5. The topic is woodsmanship. This forestry term refers to the cut that kills a tree by removing a strip of bark around the entire circumference of a trunk. Brody and Nate had their answers before I finished the question.

This forestry term refers to the cut that kills a tree by removing a strip of bark around the entire circumference of a trunk. Brody, have you ever done this to a tree? Like, not really. Like maybe as a kid I like messed around and did it to a sapling or something. No, not intentionally like kill a tree. Yeah. This forestry term refers to the cut that kills a tree by removing a strip of bark around the entire circumference of a trunk. My dad would always warn me when I was mowing the lawn not to get too close to the small like pop can size trees because it'd be pretty,

easy to rub all that bark off there and do this exact thing accidentally. It's kind of crazy that kills a whole tree. It's where the nutrients go up and down. Sinsitive. Xyle them and flow them. Wow. Trivia question. Nate's trying to get to be a host over here. This forestry term refers to the cut that kills a tree by removing a strip of bark around the entire circumference of a tree.

We have a picture after this to show you what that looks. looks like. See if anyone in this room has seen that before. When I was driving back from Michigan yesterday and to stay awake, I was thinking of trivia questions I would do. Oh, wow. Okay, Nate, you're going to host someday. Wow. You start writing those down. That's a dream come true. When you're ready, this will be your seat. I got four good ones. I had about 12 bad ones. 40% of the way there. Nate and Brody, very confident or other four players, not so much. Do you guys give up? Yes. Yeah. Go ahead and reveal.

your answers. Nate says Girdle. Logan Stripping. Sarah without an answer. Corey footing. Alyssa debark. Brody says girdle. The correct answer is girdle cut or ring

barking. A girdle cut kills a tree within a couple of years but leaves it standing. It's more cost effective, requires less labor, and is safer than dropping an entire tree. It also creates better habitat for some animals that use dead trees such as cavity nesting birds and mammals additionally the slow death of girdle cut trees make them prime hosts for oyster

mushrooms and chicken of the woods mushrooms there is a look at a group of very mature hardwoods that have been girdle cut and they are now going to die a slow death that's an aggressive girdle cut i feel like sometimes you see girdle cuts that are like an inch that dude did like a whole foot. I feel like you got to do, because I tried it when I was a kid. We moved out after a year, but I don't think I got deep enough. Why were you trying it? Just for fun. I learned about it and I thought it'd be cool. Yeah, you're going to go girdle your trees. All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Here at halftime, everybody is on the board. Alyssa has one point. Logan has two,

Sarah and Corey have three. Brody Henderson has four, and with a perfect game at halftime, it's Big Nate Mason with five. Wow. Wow. They do call him that. Big Nate. I mean, I've only heard Randall call him that, but I'm, you know, Randall's not here. I'm trying to bring his spirit into the round. Roddy, how are your headphones? I got some phantom, like, clicking and

buzzing going on in my right ear. Not from the headphones. Is that why you're not winning? Huh? Is it headphones related? I can't figure it out. I think so. Huh. Well, you hear you. I'll test it out afterwards. Okay. You guys are getting static?

Yeah. I'm not getting any static. It must be the I got nothing. Okay. All right. Question six. Oh, I'm going to have to play with that. I can't stand it. Question six.

We've now, we've now tied a hand behind Brody's back. He's gone headphonesless. 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 Hunt just got a serious upgrade for hunters in Canada.

They never made sense what law enforcement was saying to us. How could there have been no marks on her? This season on Blood Trails were following the trail of seven cases that start in the field and end in the shadows. Each story begins with the hunter stepping into the wild,

but not all of them come back. All theories are out there. You know, everything from murder to UFOs to Bigfoot.

Question six, the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Jud Koutz. Blank biosciences grabbed headlines in 2024 when they claim to de-extinct dire wolves.

Oh. Blank Biosciences grabbed headlines in 2024 when they claimed to de-extinct Dyerwolves. We were talking about this this week, too. Wow. Dude, you. I sat in a room with the guy. You have, Brody, actually. Put those headphones back on.

For you. Nate is confident he is starting the game six for six. Blank Biosciences grabbed headlines in 2024 when they claimed to de-extinct wolves. I'd love if they did the ivory-billed woodpecker Maybe They got to see how they do with the dire wolves Brody was within arms reach Of folks from this company

And you can't figure it out Which one? What are you most excited about Like if you were in charge Hmm No no Um I've rebuilt woodpecker is a good one That one seems like it would be low stakes

Like we're not going to set North America on fire If those just come back I feel like bringing back stuff that just died out Because it just died out I don't know But things that we like actively whacked That's a good way to look at it Ivory Build Woodpeckers

We interviewed the guys who made the documentary Listers on media to radio A few months back And they are now in search of an ivory build woodpecker They started their next documentary So we'll hear from them at some point on the show I'm not going to be get it. Brody has given

tough. Is everybody ready? Don't care. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says Colossil. I can think it was massive. Logan says, Mammoth, Sarah without an answer. Corey says Colossal, Alyssa, and Brody without an answer. The correct answer

is colossal Biosciences. Colossal Biosciences has created two litters of supposed dire wolves with the first born in October 24 and the second in January 2025. The pups are being cared for at a secret facility,

and the chief animal officer Matt James wouldn't let me guess its location, even after the microphones were off. For more on this story, go listen to episodes 564 and 7-Eleven of the Meteor podcast. I think I know where those dire wolves are. But Matt, Matt wouldn't even, usually if I'm trying to get info out of someone, I'm like, just let me guess. Are that north of the wall, Spencer?

I don't know. Anyway, they'll let me guess. Yes, but Matt, he was tied up tight. Would not entertain, my guess. Question 7, the topic is gear. This is the product recommendation service from the New York Times, which has reviewed items such as headlamps, tents, pocket knives, hiking boots, and fishing reels. Sarah has her answer.

I do. Logan and Nate joining her. This is the product. recommendation service from the New York Times, which has reviewed items such as headlamps, tents, pocket knives, hiking boots, and fishing reels. People, like, read the New York Times to... This thing is highly respected. It's a pretty decent gift guide, too.

Okay. Yep. I can see its layout. I have looked at their reviews for these items, and they did a decent job. It was, like, probably a little far field for them to tell you what the same. six best fishing wheels are this year, but they didn't look dumb. I mean, if you're looking for like a mattress

recommendation. I think mattress if you want a slow cooker, mm-hmm, exactly like that, a rice cooker. It's not even a hint. It says it's a product recommendation thing. Yeah, keep talking. I would say, though, it is all still affiliate based. Oh, it's 100%

affiliate. The only things are including anything that you look at. Apparently, I don't use this service to do my shopping. I don't know what the hell if you want to find your next power bank to charge your phone this is probably the thing that you would find if you google your question top resolve this is the product recommendation service from the new york times which has reviewed items such as headlamps tents pocket knives hiking boots and fishing reels logan do you have this right i think so Nate do you have this right no okay

Didn't Yanni have a review podcast? He did. That was not, they did not make it to the New York Times, though. What was that called? Gear Talk. Geertalk. Is everybody ready? Yanni and Jordan, but.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says wirecutter. Logan and Sarah say wirecutter. Corey, ask Jeeves. Alyssa, Consumer Reports, Brody, the Daily. The correct answer. is wirecutter. This side of the room got that one right.

Wirecutter was founded by Brian Lamb in 2011 and sold to the New York Times in 2016 for $30 million. Their stated goal is to combine independent research with over-the-top testing so you can make quick and confident buying decisions. Question 8. The topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Eric Jennings for sending this great question. Eric is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at the media.com.

And as a reminder, Canadians can win this. So all of our friends north of the border should send their questions as well. Daniel Day Lewis attempts to buy an oil-rich ranch under the ruse that he'll use it for quail hunting in this 2007 movie. This might be where the perfect game comes to an end. Yeah. Poor Nate. I always die.

I just don't know cultural references. Daniel Day Lewis attempts to buy an oil-rich ranch under the ruse that he'll use it for quail hunting in this 2007 movie. Phil, you love this movie, right? It's in my top 10 for sure. Okay, wow, there's a big hint. Top 10 movie. Of all time. There's only nine other ones.

You think it's in the, like, closer to 10 or closer to one? Closer to 10, but I mean, it's still, it's up there. it's yeah well you already said 2007 I saw this movie and no country for old men in the same week and it kind of rewired my brain a little bit

dropping hints over there it's 2007 did no country for old men make it in your top ten as well I don't have a definitive top ten Spencer it's a fluid it's a fluid list you could be like 14 in your top 10 that's right Daniel DeLewis attempts to buy an oil-rich ranch

under the ruse that he'll use it for quail hunting in this 2007 movie. Brody, you have this one right? I think so. Okay, you need to do some catching up to Nate over here. Well, you know. Who doesn't think he has it. Anybody besides Brody have it right.

Logan? Potentially. Sarah? Nope. No. Corey? I've seen this movie a handful of times. I don't know if this is a very movie.

of my butt somewhere. Is everybody ready? Is he still alive? I think so. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Nate says tycoon. Logan, there will be blood. Sarah without an answer.

Corey, without an answer, Alyssa. Last of the Mohicans, Brody, there will be blood. The correct answer is there will be blood. Nice. Daniel Day Lewis and his son

hike to the Southern California ranch in 1911 and ask the landowner for hunting permission. Although he's there to secretly look for oil, which he finds. He does kill a handful of quail with his side-by-side 12 gauge. Day Lewis then tells the rancher that he'd like to buy the place so he can keep bird hunting here with his son.

There's a picture there of Daniel Day Lewis with his pretty shotgun. Fantastic film. But yeah, didn't know country for old men come out like at the same time or like a similar time? Because I saw those movies very close to each other too. They were both vying for the Oscar for sure. When Phil told his story there that he watched him. in the same week.

Well, no, I just, I had a very similar experience where I saw those movies really close together and that affirmed that what I had written down was in line. Top 10 movie from Phil Taylor

over there. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update with two questions to go. Uh, well, ooh. Hmm. The game, unless Nate blows it,

is a... I've done it before. I'll do it again. I will say effectively over, but I can't play the sound effect yet because Brody has five points and Nate has seven. Okay.

There's a two point. One point difference with two questions left. Steve has demanded that this room needs more paper towels. And so someone has hooked him up. Do you know why? Because he's the one who's always spilling every gosh durn thing he puts in front of it. Who put that up there, Phil? I think it was him.

It was either him or Randall. They have a roll of paper towels. How tall are these ceilings? Ten foot ceilings? They're pretty high. Yeah, they're nine feet in the air. I mean, it's high enough that is not on camera for anybody. So the paper towels are nine feet in the air.

Hang in from a spear. Question nine. The topic is fishing. These two states are responsible for 94% of the country's American lobster harvest. Brody, very quick to answer. Oh, he's revisiting his answer, though. This is question nine. We would need Nate to get these wrong and you to get these right to go to overtime.

But if Nate can get this one correct, he'll have secured the victory. These two states are responsible. for 94% of the country's American lobster harvest. Nate, you'd love your answer? I'm good on one. I'm iffy on the second. Okay. Corey, do you have this one right? Eh, doesn't matter.

Still keep up with Brody over here. Oh, yeah. Who doesn't love his name? I'd love to ask a couple questions. These two states. You got your answer written down? I do. For 94% of the country's...

Recreational or commercial. I think the answer would be the same either way. This is counting commercial, certainly. I don't know that it would be if it was great. I know, dude. Recreational. Make it after it. These two states are responsible for 94% of the country's American lobster harvest.

Not Montana. Not Montana, Wyoming. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your. answers. We have Nate saying Maine and Massachusetts. Logan, Maine, Louisiana. Sarah, Maine, Massachusetts.

Corey, Alaska, and Maine. Alisa, Maine and Maryland. Brody says Minnesota. No, no, Maine. Maine. Well, that's Maine is M.E. And then New Hampshire. We knew it was Maine. Minnesota. Maine and New Hampshire.

It was Maine. The two states are Maine and Massachusetts. Nate has won himself the game. There's no coastline. There's hardly any coastline in New Hampshire. Yeah, get him, Sarah. It's like, it's like 20 miles.

It's just forks. We're going on this one. You guys are actually tied. May the Lord. Oh, we are tied, Brody. 82% of the country's lobster harvest with Massachusetts responsible for 12% that's followed by New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey,

Connecticut, and New York. It's estimated that Maine's lobster economy is worth over half a billion dollars. So New Hampshire was in third place, Brody, but a distant third. Distant third. If it was recreational, man, I bet you Florida would be number one. But American lobster, that's not an American lobster.

It's a different species. It's fine, yeah. I didn't even catch that you said American in there. That's the big red one that you pick out of your tank when you go to a nice seafood place. All right, here's a correct. answer review so far. One was nine foot rod. Two, Tutsi

Pop. Three. Asia. Four. Reverseer. Five. Girdle cut. Six. Collosal biosciences. Seven. Wire cutter. Eight, there will be blood. Nine was Maine in Massachusetts. Phil, let's look at the scoreboard one more time

before question 10. There it is. Nate has secured the victory. And behind him are Sarah and Brody with five. Logan and Corey with four and Alyssa with one. Question 10, the topic is conservation. When is Earth Day? Oh.

Every day. Looking for the exact date. When is Earth Day? Brody, do you have this right? I do. Oh, wow. Nate, do you have this right? Total guess.

Okay. Is anybody as confident as Brody? Nope. No. I'm going to have five guesses. One guy who knows it. You know the Earth Day date. I think everybody should know it.

Come on. Well disappointed in this room. Good, good. Yes, Sarah. Do you know when Earth Day is? No, I don't. Okay. I think you've asked.

Same day every year. Everyone knows when Christmas is. I asked a similar question that was what month is Arbor Day. Maybe that's what I'm thinking. Okay. When is Earth Day? Is everybody ready? See, Nate is in his phone.

You're trying to figure out where you're going to donate? Yeah, I've never prepared for this. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate's close. That's close, Corey. Nate saying June 6th. Logan, April 19. Sarah, May 15.

Corey, April 20. Alyssa, April 20. Brody, April 22nd. Brody got it. The correct answer is April 22nd. A handful of you were within, what, three days of the right answer? Earth Day was created by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970. The first Earth Day saw an overwhelming turnout with an estimated 20 million Americans participating.

The movement was so powerful that the Environmental Protection Agency was created later that year, thanks to the public support of the first Earth Day, April 22. All right, that makes Nate, our winner with eight correct answers. Nate, where is your $500 donation going? Um, I'm going to, this might be a misfire. Their website looks a little out of date, but we're going to go with hunters of Maryland. Okay. Maryland's always pushing kind of some BS, like, anti-hunting, anti-gun type stuff. And these guys look like they're doing the Lord's Workout there.

What do you mean Maryland's always pushing? Like Maryland as a whole is just, it's a mess, dude. Like the state of Maryland. Yeah. A lot of trash. Nate grew up in Ohio, so I didn't grow up in Ohio. I spent most of my time in Maryland. Hunting politics.

So yeah, dude. Hopefully they're a good organization. Okay, $500 going to, what's it called? Hunters of Maine? No, Hunters of Maryland. Hunters of Maryland, I'm sorry. This might be the biggest donation they get this year. Based on their website, most likely.

Nate Mason's name. Well done, Nate. Good victory, eight points. Join the beer, hunters of Maryland. Join us next week for more meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Thanks, Spencer. Way to go, Nate.
