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 Janice, Brody, Chili, Randall, Cal, and Seth. Now, this is normally a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat eaters four verticals, which are hunting, fish, and conservation, and cooking. But today's show is a little bit different. This is our annual Family Feud Christmas episode of Me Deeder Trivia. This is year four now that we've done this. It's a real crowd pleaser, isn't it?

Well, for the stat of the week, I asked our audience if they want a normal episode of trivia or the Me Deeder Family Feud for Christmas. 92% of listeners said they would prefer the family feud. So it is. How many responses did you get? What kind of a rule? 150 folks. Nice.

That word. This is who answered this. You ought to show that stat to Steve because I recall after doing it once, he said he'd never do it again. That's why I had to survey our audience, because I was second guessing if this was a good idea or not. He peaked up when I said we're having trivia after the podcast. And then when I told him it was family feud, his face just went ashen. He became unavailable at that point. Now, here's how this is going to work.

Our crew is split into two teams. Each round will start with a player from each team facing off to determine who gets control of the board. During the face-off, whoever provides the highest ranking answer will get to choose if their team passes or plays. We'll do a practice round in just a second. Now, during main play, each team member will provide answers they think are on the board. If you get one wrong, you'll hear this. If you get one right, you'll hear this. If you get three strikes, then the other team gets a chance to steal.

When a steal happens, the entire team gets to come together to decide on an answer which their captain will provide. There are four rounds with the point values being doubled in round three and tripled in round four. The team with the most points at the end will get to choose where the $500 conservation donation goes. Then we will play fast money for a chance to double the donation to $1,000 for that grand prize. Now, these questions were written by me and answered by 100 listeners. Each question has themes of meat eater and Christmas. So we are going to remind everyone of how this goes with a practice round. We are going to start with Janice versus Randall, who are the captains of their team.

And we're just doing the... You guys are going to buzz in with your fists. Everyone in here is going to need to watch to see who buzzes in first. Trying to get the mechanics, though. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. I surveyed 100 people top. six answers are on the board.

Name an animal part. Corinne would hang on her tree. Randall. Penis. She'll be a penis. Oh, actually. Sorry. Oh, hold on. Hold on.

What do you? I mean, number two answer. Number two answer was baculum. So now what happens is, Yanni, you get a chance to provide the number one answer. If you get the number one answer, you will choose if your family plays or passes. If you get anything lower than that, Randall will have control.

So what is your answer? Name an animal park Corinne would hang on her tree. I don't think he should get back. You're saying. I neither do it. Let's go with a tail. Show me. Tail. Number

five answer. Randall, that would mean you get to choose if your family is going to pass or play. We're going to play. They're going to play. Okay. So now we would be up to cow this is just a practice round so everyone gets familiar cow name an animal park karen would hang on her tree squirrel foot show me squirrel feet number one answer 39 people said that set your team is rolling name an animal park karen would hang on her tree number one answer number two answer number five answer are gone uh furs show me furs

What you think you could be You just have to provide One of those answer And you steal the points So chili brodie Yonis What could it be I was just gonna say bones Bones

I mean the back I think with If he gets Baculum for saying penis If we say bones and antlers would be up there. We would get that. No.

Yes, Randall. Well, there was a discriminatory. We're going to say bones. Show me bones. Now, Antlers is up there as number three. Phil and I would have to do some discussions. Just a practice round.

So number three was antlers. Show us number four. Number four is testicles. Number six. Feathers. So feet or spurs. penis, antlers, testicles, tails, and feathers. That's what Corinne would hang on her tree.

Does everyone understand how the game play would go? What a gal. She is. Yeah, sure like Corinne. Okay. Everyone is up to speed. Now, traditionally in family feud, we have one player who introduces their family, so let's get to know the teams. Randall, tell us who you brought with you today.

He's horny. and we know that there's a we know that there's a real sweetie very deep down in there but he's got a gruff exterior okay great who else is on your family uh that's my grandson seven and he's soon to make me a great grandpa which we're very excited about in the williams family that's great anything to say about yourself randah williams family well as the patriarch

got it dialed in. I hate that I can see your cursor, Phil. I hate that too. On Canva, you can hide it in the presenter view. You cannot do that on PowerPoint. You can either make it completely invisible for everyone, including me, and I kind of need to see it. Yeah, I feel like it takes some of the magic out of the game because I just stare at that information. I try to do a fake out sometimes. When you answered, he put it down on the X before you even answered.

Some pageant. Like he knew it was going to happen. Bill, play that feud music for us before we move. There we go. Before we move on to round two. Okay, next up, we have Ryan Callahan and Brody Henderson for round two. You boys have your hands on your buzzers? I surveyed 100 people.

They're going to pick their friends. They're going to pick their family. And they're going to come out. This is eligible for U.S. customers only. Canadians, I don't know what to tell you.

You're out of luck. It runs from December 9 to December 22. See you in town. Cal, name something Santa and Randall have in common We have five answers are on the board Four of them are gone Jolly, juggling two things here And laugh

I'm gonna say animal lovers Show me Animal lovers That is your first strike Of the round Seth We're up to you Name something Santa and Randall have in common We're looking for the number four answer on the board

You have successfully found four of them We're looking for that fourth answer Name something Santa and Randall have in common We both sneak a lot of cookies at night show me cookie sneakers damn it that is your third strike

we are now over to the putellus family jolly is gone beer belly beard and laugh are gone if the answer was appetite that he would have gotten it with that

that would be rolled up under yeah santa only has an appetite for one thing they're both married two things name something Santa and Randall have in common. Man, I don't know.

They both love LeBron James. That's a stretch. A bit of a stretch. I think your team captain's feeling the heat. Big time. He was dragging. Chili, any thoughts on what Santa and Randall have in common? No, we're supposed to do this as a team.

I've never operated a sweatshop, by the way. They both wear boots I don't know We're looking for that fourth answer I don't know Number one is jolly Rinald just shows up when he wants Number two is beer belly

Number three beard Make sure Spencer can see your long hair Okay Number five was laugh I feel like you're more consistent than that Randallie what do you think Name something Santa and Randall have in common Is a beard and a mustache the same thing

That would be rolled up under Yes any facial hair at straws here. Looking for that fourth answer. I don't rosy cheeks? Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Why not? We're going with a blush. Show me. I'm going to ask for some clarification since this is the last question. Show me. Blush. Complexion.

Red. The fourth answer. People said you guys are red. We get those points, baby. We're going to give it to them. What did you think on that? I mean, I don't know if that's, I think they were more implying.

suit color and hair color, but I like the creativity. Yeah, you can kind of triangulate that. You got the fourth answer. It was red. I think cookies would have been obviously. So now they steal all those points.

They got all 100 of those points. So that means going into round three, we have the Williams family with 95 points and the Boutellas family with 100. Even though we earned the majority of the points. That's how it works. Now, we had some comedians right in with other answers

for that one, Randall. They said, You both have a big sack. Two A's in your name. Didn't think of that one. That's good. Only work one day a year, which Chile suggested. You both have a Ph.D., which I was unaware of about Santa's education laws.

That's never been part of the mythology as far as I know. Both think Steve is naughty and both of you love deer. So those were some. Both loving deer thing I was. Yeah. Love the deer was one. That was a fun question, Spencer. Thank you.

We are moving out. on to round three, it will be Seth versus Chili. You boys have your hands on your buzzers. How many of these do we do? There are four regular rounds, and then we have fast money after that. Seth and Chili, are you ready?

I surveyed 100 people. Top five answers are on the board. Instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear? Chili. Chili was reading it. Didn't say I can read it. Jilly, what do you got?

I think he, Steve's snowman would wear quicker. Some type of fur. Show me. Good answer, Chili. Furs. Number three answers to Seth, you have a chance to seal if you can come up with one or two.

Instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear? In the orange vest. Show me. Orange vest. Although Steve hates orange. Number five answers. So you guys found number three and number five.

Chili, since you gave the better answer, you get to choose if you guys are going to pass or play. I think we got three strikes. Shouldn't we be able to come up with three more? I mean, yeah, we have to play just because it's just fun to play.

Yeah, we're going to keep this one. They're going to play. That means we're up to Janus, Yonis, instead of a scarf and top hat. What would Steve's snowman wear? Furs is gone.

blaze orange is gone. Um, a stormy Cromer? Show me. Stormy Cromer. Number one answer, 28 people.

Said Stormy Cromer. You guys got that Michigan connection. Brody, we're up to you now. Your team does not have any strikes at. You have two answers left to find. Instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear? Antlers?

Show me. Antlers I like it I like it too Day Because it could just be a snowman That is your first strike Chili

Not a snowman of Steve You started this whole thing Instead of a scarf and top hat What would Steve's snowman wear Oh yeah that's a good clarification Did Steve make this snowman Or is this snowman Is it like Frosty

Is Steve Frosty? Well I feel like the way I wrote it Is that it is Steve's snowman That he made Okay Like if he were crafting His version of Frosty Okay

Chili, instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear? And you're like trapping, trapping stuff? Show me, trapping stuff. How was that a guess? Like you're like, hooting stuff. That is the second strike for the Putele's family. Instead of a scarf and tap, top hat, would Steve's snowman wear.

Number one answer, Stormy Cromer, number three answer, furs. Number five answer, blaze orange. Number two and number four remain for Janus. Yannis. Instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear? Oh, I know. Show me ski equipment. Do you?

You can't tell me. I know. It's not ski equipment. Give us an answer. Snow shoes. I like that. Show me snow shoes. No, it's not going to be, yeah.

Oh, that was three? That is your third strike. That means the Williams family has a chance to steal if they can come up with number two or number four. Boys, what do you think it could be? A rifle. I would lean towards camouflage or first light here? I don't know. Instead of a scarf and top hat, what would Steve's snowman wear?

Yeah, like hunting apparel. What do you think, Hal? Well, is that an orange vest, hunting apparel? That's true. But I would... First light. I would say camo. I'd say

number one stormy Cromer number three I would say if 12 people said blaze orange that it goes camo more than 12 people would have just said camo but I don't want to weigh in to Do it! Do it! Are you sure?

Yeah, go for it. Captain doesn't want to be too much of a captain. I don't want to lean my Captain of the people on the scale here but I'd like to say camouflage or hunting clothing. Show me camouflage for the steel

Phil. What are you doing? No, two answered. First light camo, so you guys will steal all those points besides what was under number four. Any guesses

as to what is under number four? Gun. Boaters. Fish and rod. None of those. Bill, show us number four. FHF, FHF by no harness. FHF.F He's just at the

buzzer. Sixteen people said that. Phil hit us with some feud music for the four. and final round. We got ourselves the game here. We do. We have. I'm going to give us the scoreboard update real quick, but it's all going to come down to the last round. And these are doubled this round, right, Spencer? That's right. It is doubled. Oh, man, that's a lot. So it's anyone's game. 168. We have 263 points for the Williams family. Wow. 100 points for the

Putele's family, but points are tripled in this final round. So anybody could win. I imagine that was 263, you said? 263, that's right, versus 100. Round, down four. What do you got? Didn't they steal two things from us? No. They stole one.

They tried to steal the first one, but it didn't work out. So it's all going to come down to this fourth and final round. I immediately feel a lot better about this. To the head of the family, it is Janus versus Randall. No, Janus, Randall likes to slap the table before the question's even completed. So keep that in mind. Mm-hmm. We could just risk it for a biscuit.

Are you boys ready? I surveyed 100 people. Top 8 answers are on the board. Name something you'd hunt on Christmas Day. Randall. Deer. Show me. Dear.

Number one answer. 38 people said it. So Randall, are you guys going to pass or play? We can come up with a lot of hunting stuff. Yeah. I think we play. Okay. They're going to play.

All right, let me remind everyone of fast money. Here's how fast money works. Two players from the winning team will compete in this round. I'll ask you five questions that you need to answer as quickly as possible. Just like in the regular round, I surveyed 100 Me Deeder listeners for these questions. The player who goes first will get 15 seconds. The player who goes second will get 20 seconds. if the player repeats an answer that the first players,

if the second player repeats an answer that the first player said, they'll be told to try again. Your goal is to get 200 combined points. If you do that, then the donation will go from $500 to $1,000. The winning team has also won fast money in 2023 and 2024. So you guys could keep the streak alive here by winning fast money again. Yonis, who's going to do fast money from your team? Chili

I mean like let's go Now there is more pressure on the second player. Which one of you is going to go first and who's going to go second? Do you want the pressure spot, Brody? You want to take the easy spot? You're the team captain, team Patriot. All right, I'll take the pressure spot.

Okay, Yanni, head out into the hallway. Randall will come get you. I don't like that. This one's stressful. This thing really, this one down. You know, we could do a thing where the third person on the winning team goes and gets the first person in fast money, just so. So I feel involved. Yeah, there's a role and then I don't have to get up.

I don't want your consolation prize. Now, I get a reminder, this all goes very fast. I know it's high pressure. That's why it's stressful. Yeah, is Janus actually in the hallway hallway and not the little atrium there? Antichamber. Randall is going to be running the timer over here for 15 seconds. Randall, you can have got the timer right here.

15 is so short. 15 is quick. Do you want me to 5 or 10? I would say keep it visible for that guy over there. And they are pretty generous. and family feud. If Brody comes in with an answer at second 16, they usually get that to them. So we will honor that.

Should I count down or count up? You've handed me a stopwatch. Whichever one you want. I think you show Brody. Let's do that. Let's do that. Let's go 15 seconds. No, 15, you said.

15. And the timer starts after I finish reading the first question. Brody, are you ready? Hold on. Hold on. I got to reset. I'm just doing a little test around there. Born ready, Spencer.

Randall, are you ready? Ready. Here we go. Timers starts after I finish reading the first question. Good luck. Name a type of wild game you'd serve at Christmas. Goose. Who from the meat eater crew thinks they're a wise man?

Steve. Name something a deer hunter wants for Christmas. A rifle. What animals would be in Clay's nativity scene? Donkey. If Santa gave you a mule, mule, if Santa gave you an elk tag, what state would you want it in? Wyoming. Wyoming.

Okay, we're going to give him Wyoming. there at the end. So let's go back and review the answers that Brody gave. Okay, I got to get it all on the dock here. If you guys just want to make some small talk. It'll take like that was good timing. That was good. Remind me what you said for number one here, Brody. You said a name a type of wild game. Okay, okay. Just going back to remind myself what we have. Phil is also helping kill some time over there while we figure out your score. Phil, are you keeping track of points as well for this one? I'm not, I mean, I'm putting, I'm putting the point numbers in the graphic here, but I'm not keeping score.

Can I have my phone there? I got to do some ad in here real quick while we do some more filibustering. Maybe you five can talk. You crushed. You crushed. Those are good answers. I think they're too, they're so good that I think. Might make it hard on Yonnie.

Yeah, it might make a little hard on Yon. I think you'll come up with some of the similar answers. We're not going to give him Wyoming at the end I think that came in too late Phil Come on What do you think? I said it You did say mule three times

Here's what I think I think we get We're giving you mule Oh we are giving him Mule Well what do you think Phil I mean I think he has to go with donkey But I say we give him Wyoming That just makes the most sense

That's what we're going to do then Can't have it all Yep Yep It's called compromise I would say black bear Okay Phil are we ready to yes we are okay we're gonna go back through these and see how you did brodie name a type of wild game you'd serve at christmas you said goose hold on it's not oh it's fine everything's fine it's all fine technical

there we are i'm starting to feel that it's not fine name a type of wild game you'd serve at christmas you said goose 24 people said gudas. What are we trying to get a certain number point? You're trying to get 200 combined points with Yannis. Okay, the next one. Who from the meat eater crew thinks they're a wise man? You said, Steve. Survey says, 94.

40. Number one answer was Steve Ronella thinks he's a wise man. Name something a deer hunter wants for Christmas. You said, rifle. Survey says, 36 people said a gun or a guy. a bow, we're going to give that one to you. What animals would be in Clay's nativity scene?

You said donkey. I said mule. Try to switch it to mule. For donkey, survey says zero. Nobody said, donkey. Okay. And if Santa gave you an out-tag, what state would you want it in? You said, Wyoming.

Survey says, 12. So you got 112 points to start your team off. team off. I still carried my weight. You did. That means Janus will need to come up with 88 points. Can someone go fetch Janus for us? Chilly, Randall. Randall, you're close to the door. Yeah, but I'm saying my timer. Okay, he's now going to get Janus. Janus has a little bit of work to do. Nobody is going to give him any hints when he enters the room.

He's coming in blind and Yonis will have 20 seconds to see if you guys can make that donation $1,000 instead of $500. did you find him yeah he's riding an exercise bike okay it was bad it was I knew it wasn't good when you had to yell his name when you walked out of the studio I feel like since a donkey is half of a mule you get half

I remember I stood the fan bike okay Johnny doesn't understand the fan bike how do you think Brody did I think he did great of course he did great Brody carried his weight he got 112 points

out of how many well you need to get That was only four. They took one away from me. You need to get 200 points. That means you need to come up with 88 more points to double that donation for the Puteleus. And he can't say the same thing that... I will tell him to try again if he says the same answer.

Now, Yonest, the way this works, I have a 15 second timer here. He gets 20, though. He gets more time. He gets 20. Okay. I would have heard that direction if I hadn't been forced to go out there and find your teammate for your attention. Are you rooting for me or against me, Rand?

I guess I'm rooting for you at this point. There's no way I can win. You're out of it. Then I'm going to root for conservation. Okay, so you get 20 seconds. And I'll hit this when he finishes reading the question. That's still the same this round? Okay, good.

Exactly. Do we already know where the conservation donation is going? No, you guys will decide that. You could throw all $1,000 to somebody. You could split it up into two $500 donations. Yeah. But first, you have to win fast money and get $80. more points. And you're just going to ask you questions

and I just need to blurt out answers. The best answers. But I may have to tell you to try again if you repeat one of Brod's answers. Can I tell them one of the rules that I wasn't told beforehand? You can't say something and then change your answer. You can't come back to it. Apparently. Be like I came up with a better answer. Be definitive.

Are you ready, Yon? Confidence kills in this game. It's fast money. It's fast money. Your 20 seconds starts after I finish reading the first question. good luck thank you name a type of wild game you'd serve at christmas goose try again turkey who from the meat eater crew thinks they're a wise man brodie name something a deer hunter wants for christmas ammo what animals would be in clay's nativity scene uh mules if santa gave you an elk tag what

state would you want it in Iowa Oh, right, did you say? You said, oh, you're five. It's a whole old tag to draw. I screwed the pooch on that one. He's slinking deer. That was a clean, that was a clean run. Oh, did well, right off until I was.

Are you sure you said elk? I'm sure I said elk. Golly. Maybe somebody said elk. It takes you a whole lifetime to get that to draw. A whack bowl in a cornfield? Good eating. Oh, man.

So, uh, well, there's still a chance. Phil is going to enter in, uh, your answers over there. Yeah, you guys got it. Fine. And we'll see if you can come up with the 200 points. Uh, you're going to have to do it in four, though, because I'll tell you now, Iowa is not on the list. What was your answer to the first one?

Name a type of wild game you'd serve at Christmas. Turkey. Turkey, you said, okay, in just a second, we will see Phil's board and find out what you're doing with that money. Now, if it is $1,000, what do you have in mind? Well, I'd have to confer with my family Why don't you guys talk about it over there Boys? Is it gonna change based on how much money it is?

No. Well, if we'd split it up or something. I don't know, I just want to you know, include my family. Phil, are you ready? We're ready, yes. Okay, we'll discuss afterwards then. See what you have to donate.

Oh, man. First question, name a type of wild game you'd serve at Christmas. First, you said Goose, but we had to repeat that because it's also what Brody said. He went with turkey. Wow

Survey says 12 people Said turkey No it's good That's good We're up to the next one Was there a high What's the highest

Number one answer Take some guesses Let's hear what you guys Venison Venison was number one There were six answers there So you guys got venison, goose and turkey What are the other three?

Hogg Caravut was number six Duck was number five That means you No you're missing number four number four was pheasant number one answer was venison who from the meat eater crew thinks they're a wise man

you said brodie survey says 32 people that makes up for your last answer there brodie Steve was the number one answer Brody was number two there were three more answers we had well before you answer let's just point out that this is a question about conceitedness or arrogance not about intelligence

Okay. Randall was number three. Kind of like, that was six, right? 18 people said Randall, that leaves answers number four, number five. Do you have some guesses? Nate? Yonis. Yeah, Yonis. Nate was not on there.

Yonis was not on there. Cal was number four. No, and I was number five. So 40 people said Steve. It's okay. It's all facial hair, baby. You're good, though, Yonis. We needed 88.

You got 44 so far. Steve, number one. I know, but one of my answers is worth zero. That's okay. So you need 44 points to the next two questions. Name something a deer hunter wants for Christmas. You said ammo. Survey says,

20 people. That was the number two answer. Number one was gun or bow. Number two was ammo. What are the other guesses for name something a deer hunter wants for Christmas? Cammo. Cammo was number four. Rattling antlers.

Not on there A tree stand A deer A deer Tree stand was on there That was number six A big old buck Grunt

None of those pickup truck The other ones Land Land was number three Who hasn't gotten land For Christmas Trail camera was number five

And hand warmers We're number seven Okay we are down to What is the final one Because we know he said Iowa I mean I think you got a real good Zero points might be good.

You guys need 24 points to get to 200. What animals would be in Clay's nativity scene? I'm in prison. This is got to be the number one. You said Mule. Survey says. Fifteen people said it. You guys have secured the victory.

You went over the 200. Mule was number one. The answer really built that up. Had I said Arizona, had I heard elk and said Arizona, Let's close out Clay's Nativity Sea. Okay. What other animals would be in the Bears, squirrels? Bair. Raccoons was number three. Bears was number two. Pigs. Raccoons was number four.

Black Panther. We're just missing the fifth answer. Deer was number five. So basic. Mule was number one. Fifty-two people said that. Bear was number two. I'm surprised that donkey and mule were an answer. Well, I don't know. Donkey realized that he said zero. Oh, so tried to get, they wouldn't let me change. We loved it. We took it away from. So the last question, if Santa gave you an elk tag, what state would you want it in? You said Iowa. Survey says zero, zero people said Iowa. You wanted to change your answer to Arizona. Arizona number one answer. 20 people said that. Oh, it was tied for number two. Oh, it's tied for number one. It was tied for number one with another state. And then there were three more after that. New Mexico was number four. 17 people said that. Montana. Montana was the other number one. 20 people said that. We're missing two states.

Yeah, Pennsylvania. Colorado number 3, 18, Pennsylvania, not on the list. We're looking for that last state. Nevada. Not Nevada. Utah. Not Utah. Idaho? Kentucky. 13 people said Idaho. That closes out the board. Montana, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho. I feel lucky to live in a state that people want to hunt.

There you go. Well done, Yanni. Well done, Brody. Well done, chili. You guys earned the $1,000, $1,000. donation today. What's it going to be? You guys got anything you've been wanting to donate to lately? I hadn't really thought about it. Do we want to do one or two? I think just one. Just one. Make it rain.

$1,000. $1,000. Where are you going to make it rain at? Why is that so funny? It's a good way to put it. For certain conservation groups, that might be, you know, like what they bring it in a month. So that would be flooding them. I'm not prepared. for this either.

First thing I think about it was LAI, but... No, don't do that. It's Christmas. Yeah. We don't want to give ourselves. It's like giving yourself a vacuum cleaner. Come on. That's true. A thousand dollars could use this vacuum cleaner. What do you think? You got a local one you like? Do you know the incoming CEO of any national ones? BHA. Oh, that's true. But don't do that.

That I feel like it's getting too much. No, people need to buy that calendar to support BHA. Yeah, that's a good point. What calendar? Where have you been for the last two months? FTA up old trucks. Oh, effed up all trucks by Meteor, the Meteor at $206 calendar. $15.5 calendar.

You can get it stored at theomedia.com. That is a fun way to support conservation and enjoy some funny images all year long. Oh, you know the one I'd like to give it to? It's going to takes a little bit of Googling, though. But there's a coalition. Cal, you tell me if you like these guys or not. Michigan United Conspiration Clubs? No, they're around our zone right here.

Okay. And they're the group that is real interested in making sure that we do, like, equal use. What am I Googling? Across all of our, um, across the public lands, right? So that doesn't get too much, no, no roads, no... Is the Galton Valley Land Trust? No. No. This seems like a real stretch.

Yeah, that doesn't really work. Why not? Well, you kind of need to know the name. So far by Google is coalition. You're saying like there's an idea that you, regardless of what's on the landscape, it has to have the same amount of use as the neighboring county. I don't think we should dig into the philosophical underpinnings of a group

whose name we don't know. Find another group, Gianni. See, save that one for a future. I have nothing to Google over here. I'm trying to help you. We can't just take a pause and find it and then come back. You donate to that one in the future when you win a different game of trivia. Well, we'll cut all this out anyway.

It kind of makes us look bad. No. For now, let's find somewhere else. Is there a species-specific group that you're excited? I was really excited about that group, you know? Because when that fellow that had their hat on told me about it, I was like, man, we need more folks like that coming to the table. You thought I'm not going to remember that.

They just want to make sure that all user groups are represented well in a lot of these places. And I'm sorry to them that I can't think of the name right now. You can still donate to them in the future for now, though. Let's find a different home for that $1,000. Pacific? What do you guys like? D. Or something like PLPW or TRCP, D-U. PLWA.

Or sorry. Yeah, do those guys again. Yeah, let's do them. They're Montana. Good cause. Public land water access association. $1,000. You're still keeping it local.

Yeah. I got my new plow truck has their plates on it too. Oh, nice. Another good way to support them. The Public Land Water Access Association. $1,000 going their way from meat eater and the Yannis Putellus family. Yeah, and I'm sorry if you're the CEO president of the group that I'm trying to think of, please write in. And I promise, next time, hopefully at some point, 2026 when I win again.

We'll hit you back on the first of the month. Yeah. How's that? There we go. Well done. Another successful family feud episode in the books. Yanni's family now 4 and 0. We think.

It might be 3 and 0, but. Yeah, I think you can probably go back in your notes and find out who's won, right? I'm not interested so much in that. All right. We'll see you back next year for more family feud. Oh, Merry Christmas. Very Christmas. The other game show where conservation always wins.
