Ep. 353: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia XVIII

do you consume trivia? If you love trivia? I'm a voracious You're if you're If you stop being teachable in life, you're a loser. So I life is an endless learning process, so I I suck up a lot of information. Just everything's trivia to you. I just absolutely adore it. So if all ten questions have to do with uh, North American fruits that are not consumed publicly, UH, I will

win that. Sadly, none of them are shit. Now, before we get started, I have to tell you, Andrew, your restaurants have served me the best stadium food I've ever had. I'm a big Vikings and Twins fans, so I try to make a regular pilgrimage like US Bank Stadium and Target Field, And genuinely, the lamb sandwich from the asy canteen is incredible. It's like too good for stadium food, actually it is. And consequently that's why it's no longer

there at the stadium. Yeah, when did that stuff? During COVID And then they came back with all the big you know, all the big companies realized they were wasting a lot of money paying people like me to do food there and they would make more money off of chips and uh diet coke. Was there a shift in your lifetime where stadium food like got good all of a sudden. Yes, when did that happen? Why? It was

two thousand seven. All of the all the big companies that run food at stadiums near reports realized they had a captive audience that was becoming more food wear and so they reached out to well known personalities and put their food into their first their local stadiums in airports, and then if they had a national brand, perhaps they got some other stuff. And so are our business. At that point, we were in like seven stadiums and at

its height, six stadiums at its height. But what we were doing, we we were putting in massive French rotisseries and taking real wild pastor well pastured Minnesota lamb chickens. Uh, you know, whole animal rotisserie of other guys. We put pigs and goats and stuff on there, and and you could buy it by the pound or on sandwiches, you know, with homemade ice cream and homemade Uh. We made it like a zeppe, like a little Italian doughnut hole. Um.

It was a great booth. It thundered business. Mean, it was incredible. But they were also paying us a fee to license it and all the rest of that kind of stuff. So gradually all these companies have learned, why are we paying an extra x percent to to these well known people? That's said that makes just owned it ourselves. Hurts my enthusiasm a little bit mine as well. I love, by the way, I love That was one of my favorite jobs ever because I got to make food for families.

Because if you're gonna pay fourteen dollars for a stale piece of pizza that was made the day beforehand and hot held in cardboard for twenty four to thirty two hours, um, there's no way it curls your toes when you buy it. So we're ripping off parents and their kids. It's too expensive for the average American family to go to a sporting event. So we were like, if we're going to charge whatever fourteen bucks for a jen sandwich, it that that family better say that's the best chicken sandwich I

ever had. And I think in some cases we pulled it off. I love it. You did it well. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat eater will donate five dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing And for the stat of the week, bet a perfect game. We're gonna go to a thousand if you can get thrown two nines. WHOA, I had a perfect game?

I think was it the first game ever? Spen? I think it was the fourth game ever perfectly stat Steve Wow. Now for the stat of the week this see Steve was here, he was sitting in that chair when it happened. You witnessed the perfect game? Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now the stat of the week this week, we're going to look at how different players perform in each vertical. We'll start off with Steve. Steve's best category. Do you have a guess as to what your best category is of the four?

This is a big question because I don't agree with your categories. So fishing and fishing Fishing is your best category where you get sixty five percent of questions correct, and your worst category is hunting, where you get of questions spread half of them. Right. Next up is Brodie. Maybe it's like you're not that good at making those questions that could be The next up is Brodie, whose

best category is hunting. Brodie gets an amazing eight seven percent of hunting questions correct yes, and his worst category is fishing, where he gets fifty three percent of questions correct. Then we have Cal whose best categories cooking where he gets seventy four percent of questions correct, and his worst category is hunting, where he gets forty one percent of

questions correct. And finally there's the Honest, whose best category is also cooking, where he gets seventy six percent of questions correct, and his worst categories are conservation and hunting where he gets fifty three percent of questions worst. Or the rest of the category. Just how many times have you played this? Like three or four times? I'm terrible. I'm just here for color, commented, how do you do

in the cooking questions? I aced the cooking questions. I keep trying to bribe Spencer to go real heavy in the cooking for once, but it hasn't. I'd like to point out that he'll usually throw Gas a bone, oh, which is total bullshit. He threw the guest ten bones last time. It didn't work out. Didn't work out for the Gas now. On a previous episode of Meat Eat TRIVIAE, we talked about how Anthony Bourdain said in his nine book that you shouldn't order seafood from a restaurant on Monday.

His logic was that at the time, in his home city of New York, fishmongers were closed on weekends, meaning that when Monday's fish was served, it was at minimum a few days old. But in a interview, Bourdain changed his tune. Here's a quote that he gave Tech Insider. Then look, do me one favor, people, please eat the fish on Monday. That was sixteen years ago. It was a very different world. Regrettably, that's you know, don't eat fish on Monday is going to be on my headstone.

But it's almost two decades later things have changed. Eat the damn fish. So there you have it. It is okay to order seafood on a Monday. Is that a law that you guys had had heard before, Kevin and Andrew that that you've abided by or not? It just depends, you know, Um, it's not. It was not like a black and white scenario because it really has to do with but it does have to do with your purveyors, like and so a lot of folks would get it

in for several days. But there's also plenty of seafood that can sit in ice for a few days and be fine. A big deal. I'm old, So I remember a time in New York when I was first coming to this business as a teenager working summers, and your your preveyors would deliver twice a week, right, So the the don't eat fish on Monday was a great piece

of advice and why everyone could relate to it. Um. But yeah, I mean very soon after that, the food world exploded, uh probably even before Tony mentioned there, and you can now get seafood delivered almost seven days a week. From any part of the world. Correct, So that rule does not don't eat sushi at a seven eleven. I mean we're not there. That's the caveat is where you're

doing it. Discount sushi has always been a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah, And with that, we're on a meat eater trivia play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything. I'm saying, just tend to win everything. Question one. This will be top Maul full choice, and the topic is hunting. Which of these hunting magazines is oldest Peterson's Hunting for Fish Game, North American White tail

Or Sports a Field. Again, which of these hunting magazines is oldest Peterson's Hunting for Fish Game, North American White tail Or Sports a Field. Some quick confident answers in the room. It looked like I'm torn. I'll tell you that. Well, I know which ones you're torn between. It's a hunting vertical, so he'll get it right. When the like that's right, this would be fish. There's some real moneyball stuff going to be born out of this. It's turning into Baseball's

We're down in Louisiana. We had rented a house that had a pool table and we were playing three ball for dollars else fun. Yeah, I walked off with a big stack cash. Does everybody have an answer? I went to bed your options again, Brodie, your Peter for a fish game North American white tail and trying to confuse me. Now I know what he's debating. You tell me when you're good, and we will rebel my original Brodie's brain is arguing with its humunculous go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying sports of field, Andrew saying sports the field, Kevin saying sports the field, Brodie saying sports the field, Karan saying for fish game, Sean saying sports the field, and Byron saying sports the field. That's the correct ANSWER's sports the field. And I know you were debating for a fishing game and Krine scratched out sports the field and went for a fishing game Sports of Field.

That's been this outdoor publication in North America. It wasn't even really It's like it's not like what it's still a thing. It always gets like bought by some one or another. I mean they're still putting out six issues a year, so it's like when I was a kid. They like it covered everything like how to catch catfish on cut made, And it's kind of like, didn't it become kind of a marketing rag? Like didn't. Yeah, it's very like travel hunt overseas. Yeah, well it's Safari clubs.

I don't know. It wasn't them either way. The next question, it was found in eighteen eight seven. F Fish Game was founded in nineteen, Peterson's Hunting in nineteen seventy three in North American White till in nineteen eighty two. Amazingly, Sports of Field still publishes six issues per year. Even at one hundred and thirty five years old, its name is still actively used. Yeah, it's not the same publication. I'm not saying it's the same thing. It wasn't thirty

five years ago. Question to the topic is cooking. If someone cooks you squab, what kind of bird are you eating? If someone cooks you squab, what kind of bird are you eating? Again? Some quick answers in the room. I don't want Kevin to see my You don't think he knows No, Listen, I was making a joke. I don't want to say what my problem is because it will be a hint yeah, could be having a real hard time.

This is a dictionary definition of the word. So whatever your argument is going to be, you have to take it up with the dictionary. I have a feeling problems. My problem is going to be with other people's ship. If someone cooks you squab, what kind of bird are you eating? Because everybody have an answer, it's going to be with other people's stuff waiting on. You know what happens in trivia, Winners laugh and tell jokes and losers say, next question. I think we just had the next question

in the room. One question, Ago, Karan, how are we doing? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Eurasian rock dove, Andrew saying pigeon, Kevin says, Sean saying pigeon, and Byron saying pigeon. Answer beforehand, don't overthink, kid, that was your advice to The correct answer is pigeon. They're the same. They're the same. We'll give it to you, but you can't give it to them. Yes, they get these too many kinds of pigeons. The dictionary says it's

an immature pigeon. Do you know that you can hunt them with h your hands or rocks in almost every state in the Union, because there's a nuisance species because their guano degrades marble on statues, one of the few birds whose poop is so toxic. And so if if you can, you can use butterfly nets, you can use rock stones, whatever, can't shoot them. But in every municipality,

men like writing downtown just have at it. Yeah, But the way to do it then is go outside the city into a silage field or cornfield, set some decoys and what do you mean what kind of pigeon? Did you mean street pigeon? Pigeons? Would spencer? Dear God. Now, my father in law grew up in rural South Dakota. He's said that when he was a kid, people would stop by the farm and ask you if they could

check their silos and barns for squab. But that practice largely died out in the early eighties, and my father in law hasn't got a squab hunting request in nearly forty years. Have him call me go anywhere. It's so delicious, didn't you U used to grab him out from underneath bridges, Steve, Yeah, and then we called him, sorry, I haven't bite. We had a big pole with a pizza box on the end of it and another pole of the landing net

on the end of it. And they like to live behind air conditioning units outside of restaurants and ship So you just block one side of the a C unit with the cardboard box blocked the air side of a C unit with the gnat. Get the grown ups, then we get the babies. And I would take the grown ups and raiseals and harvest their babies. Nice, very smart and the adults. Question three is using the adults to propagate.

There you go. Question through the topic is concer. This is our listener question of the Week, which was won by Brandon Wealthy for sending this great question. Brandon is going to get a blaze orange Meat Eater best that was signed by Steve just right now fresh signed. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the Week, sent your questions to Trivia at the meat eater dot com. This state is the only place in the world where the range of American alligators and American

crocodiles overlap. What is it again? This state is the only place in the world where the range of American alligators and American crocodiles overlap. What is it? Boston? Does everybody have an answer? Did you get them all right so far? Brody? I did? Indeed? I mean this is this is every time you haven't been here for it is every single trivia. We had a separate rate then Brody used to sit here. But like the first, like the first question there is we're giving each other the

stair down from you got to choose between two. Likely I've got a pretty good cell phone video of those two giving each other the stink guy, Oh, alligators and crocodiles. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Florida, Andrew saying Florida, Kevin saying Florida's Florida, Karan sang Louisiana, Sean saying Texas, and Byron sang Louisiana. The correct answer is Florida. I have it. I have it on a pretty good authority that someone

just found a Burmese python in South Louisiana. Let me just about her time, right. I was trying to think sports teams. There's no crocodile sports team, is there? The crocs? No, there's not a lot of those probably a single, a baseball team or something someone. But I think the whole Mario Batali things sort of crushed that. Yeah. Yeah, I can't say anything about I'm from Georgia, so like our feelings on Florida that it should just break off and float into the ocean. So I'm not really allowed to

weigh in with an opinion now. Although they look similar and share a range in South Florida. Gators and crocs can't mate, but American crocs and Cuban crocs can hybridize, which has biologists concerned. They fear that because their habitat is shrinking, it may lead to American Cuban hybrids that caused true Cuban crocodiles to vanish altogether. Man, they're only like ninety miles apart. How different can they be? Cubans in the ninety miles worth of different? Question for the

topic is white tails. He might want to read a book about bio island geography songs to me that to do that. Question for the topic is white tails. Coyotes killed the most white tail fonds across the United States. What predator is second? Coyotes killed the most white tail fons across the United States? What predator is second? We're looking for what animal kills the second most amount of white tail fons? He's throwing an adjective or two in there for me, What are you looking for? Is this

going to be one of them? Again? Conflicted? Two answers. Coots killed the most white tail fons across the United States? What predator is second? But but I have I'll talk I might have the same question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what we're talking? Yes, does everybody have an answer? Yes? I would much preferred you. Well, yeah, kran Korean, I don't know if you know. As we're on a tight schedule. We got a guest who has a flight to catch not a crocodile there for few hours and to have

an empty board. It's not a crocodile. Koran grabbing my phone for Steve's objection. Here, what do you do with your phone? Get a photo of you yelling at Spencer question,

go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying black bear, Andrew saying fox, Kevin saying fox, Brodie saying black bear, Korean saying black bear, Sean saying dogs, and Byron crossed out two answers, and he says, black bears is what point across to put it put when you put that on there, I crossed this one out and then wrote that one, and then I crossed that one out and pointed an arrow to the first thing. Next time we should just rewrite it. The the correct answer

is black bears. Well, here's my deal. I got it right, so I don't really care. But are you thinking like were in the domestic dogs? Yeah. This This is according to a Penn State University study who analyzed data from twenty nine other studies that were done across the country. They looked at the cause of death for nearly one thousand fonds and found that about seventy were coyotes and four were black bears. Distant second, very very distant. Yeah,

m m. That's a good question. Became a good question. Uh, two minutes before. It wasn't question five. It was I would have preferred this regionality, and then I would have preferred that you as a host excluded the wild dog, because I don't know if that's well captured like natural regionality was was the United States because that's where the study took place. They took him across the country. Question five the topics. I am complain. This next great question

comes to was via Chrissie mccoon. If you have a question you think is right for meata to trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eator dot com. Also known as ears stones, these hard structures located behind the brain allow biologists to age bony fish. Me too, and I think the fellas that are done, it might be going for five for five here's the question again. Also known as earstones, these hard structures located behind the

brain allow biologists to age bony fish. And I think if Brodie and Steve get this right there, pitching a perfect game, we will get a scoreboard update officially from Phil after this flip, Me and Brody should final with a team up instead of being against each other. Now this is way more fun. Yeah, we could do We could do it like a partner's tournament or something tournament of champions suation, great game. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal the answers we have Steve saying, Andrew saying antlers, Kevin saying ears owns, Brody saying creative without answers, Shouting without an answer Byron saying your stones the correct answer. It's also your stones, just for the record, otherwise known as antlers aid fish in balance and hearing to age of fish. Using an odalth, you count the number of rings just like you would with a tree. But some fish like sharks raise and land praise don't

have them think kosher either. Phil hit us with a scoreboard update. We are halfway through the game of trivia. We are really quick before I actually have a correction. A matter of housekeeping, I was deemed by Anthony Jensen on Instagram. Apparently I've been reading the standings incorrectly. When people are tied, I say, like, you know, tied for first, Stephen Rodi tied for Second's essentially what he says. I

don't understand. I'm just speak what he said. I'm sorry to be this O c D. But when breaking down a competition's current ranking, you wouldn't say tied for third if there are people tied for second. If there's a two way tied for first, the next ranking is third or tied for third. So like tied for yes, and he says, again, sorry to be an Anthony, thank you for your apology, because you completely wasted my time. I will not be changing the way I do this. But

I didn't learn something today. Um is that? Wow? That's like next level because like that you knew the other name of earstones, but you didn't know that you count one, two then three? No, no idea? Yeah, because I think like they give out medals in the Olympics and if like top two tied, two golds and then they give out a bronze, Yeah for whoever you know came in behind those two people. If you at golf boards and the Olympics are gonna be two golds, no silver and one.

But I think that might be how they do it. That is how the standing just want to golf standings is these? It doesn't want to sho this is my cous another with one point. We have coming up is Sean with two points, and then uh tied for second place. We have Kevin Byron and Andrew All with three points and then in first perfect game five points apiece, Brodie and Steve tension in the room. Oh my god, what's y'all team name gonna be? Are you going with Stody?

Are you going with question six? The topic is woodsmanship. Name one of the five states with the most confirmed cases of lime disease in nineteen Name one of the five states with the most confirmed cases of lime disease in. The quickest answer in the room was Andrew, you know this stone cold again? Looking for one of the five states with the most confirmed cases of lime disease in. This is a stat from the CDC. Does everybody have

an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying New York, Andrew saying Minnesota, Kevin saying Colorado, Brodie saying Pennsylvania, Kran saying New York, Shawn saying Connecticut, and Byron saying Maine. We play a game where I guess who all has it right? Who do you think got it wrong? All hold up their things already erased it all right, We're gonna reveal you. I think I think,

I think Byron might be wrong. Byron says Maine. The top five are Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maine, in Wisconsin. What in most years, Pennsylvania destroys the rest of the country when it comes to lime disease. They had seven thousand cases of lime disease. That's followed by New York with three thousand. New Jersey with hundred, Maine with fifteen hundred in Wisconsin with a thousand. Just missing out in the top five are New Hampshire, Minnesota, Maryland, Connecticut, and Virginia.

That's actually way lower than I would think. Ye I had they had thirty thousand confirmed. Idd They don't test. This is why I thought Minnesota was top rated, because if anybody has a tick and you even think that the head or any other part of it is in there, they don't test you at all. You immediately go on it. Because in Minnesota of the people will come in for it develops are all carrying it. Yeah, we're a question seven.

The topic is cooking. This red spice, which comes from a purple flower native to the Mediterranean, is considered to be the most expensive spice in the world. What is it? This red spice, which comes from a purple flower or native to the Mediterranean, is considered to be the most expensive spice in the world. God, dude, pitched softball? What is it? What does your wife's score on this round?

I think you've got four questions elsewhere? That's right. I think from now when I'm writing the food questions for you, sending them to you every week, please do it. That'd be a great favor to him. Man, that's right, and you want you're win that for you Orange vest one more time. This red spice, which comes from a purple flower native to the Mediterranean, is considered to be the most expensive spice in the world. Does everybody have an answer?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying saffron. What does that say? S saffron? I just spelled a pH F episode saying saffron, Kevin saying saffron, proudly saying saffron, Crin saying saffron shown without an answer, and Byron saying saffron. That is the correct answer, saffron. Authentic saffron can cost about five dollars per out. It's so expensive because it's an incredibly labor intensive crop with a small output and

short harvest window. Its taste is described as sweet, floral, and pungent. If you want to learn how to cook with it, then check out Andrew's recipe for risotto Milanese on Andrew Zimmern dot com. And don't think that you're just gonna put a whole bunch in there because it must be good, because holy shit, what a way to ruin something man. Yes, when it says like a so

there is there is it's use possibly work there. There is some debate about whether or not it's uh first came from the Mediterranean or Central Asia, which has got some some serious legs to it. What else do you cook? What else do you use saffron? Well, yeah, you know, beery got a lot of Indian food uses saffron, a lot of Afghani, Iranian, Central Asian foods use it. Yeah, it's It was used as a form of money for a long time on ancient spice roots. It was used

for makeup, it was used for perfumes. Would you support this statement that in America most of it is bought by people fixing to make paya. Yes. I would also support the statement that most of what's sold here in the United States does not even measure up to real saffron, and in fact, even the most expensive stuff that you can buy here still has a little bit of orange

flange at the end of the thread. Um which in Afghanistan and Iran where the best saffron in the world, My opinion grows, it is dark red from end to end, and when I travel to countries that trade with those UH nations. That is the first thing that I smuggle home is real saffron, which blows all the other stuff. Well, you don't want to places have the spice bottle, the rays and grocery stores. It's like a pre determined that

stuff don't even bother. And if I have, then in the bottle is a bag and in the bag is like two or three pieces. But in order to for display purposes they still put it. You think you should buy it online from Caloustians or another you know, you know.

Penzi is another really reputable UH company. There is an amazing group called Roomy out of Afghanistan and it's founded by uh Iraqi and Afghani war vets Um and they started a spice company to try to give farmers in that country an option for another person other than poppies. And it's a roomy r u M I I think it's Roomy. Spice dot Com is an organization that I

just think it is fantastic. Yeah. I feel like if you go into the grocery store and you see UH saffron and like a McCormick bottle or something, don't buy it. It'll say saffron and big letters but then really small ones above it is like Spanish, okay, something like that. You have you tried the roomy products there line of products. I actually very luckily where we live in Maine. I have a neighbor who's from Afghanistan and she gets it

like she gives me her family stuff. They send it over to her and I pay her get ready thirty dollars for three ounces of and and it is and it's it's unreal. Yeah, it's that kind of Saffron has as much in common with supermarket staffer. Saffron is my standing in your garage makes me your car full style. We want a question a we will get a scoreboard update after this. The topic is biology and this X

ray question comes to us from Ryan Baldridge. If you have a question you think is right for meatat to Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eator dot com. There's only one bird in the world that can fly forwards, backwards, upside down and hover. What is it? Only one bird in the world that can fly forwards, backwards, upside down and hover? What is it Larry bird? That's good? Some quick answers in the room. A slow answer from Steve.

That's because you tripped him up. He's still arguing with the He's like, what bird? Yeah, for like you want the Linnaean name, Like we're looking for a species or a broad whatever you think that you were going with extant or or one from there gonna put down a dinosaur? Does everybody have an answer? A gain looking for the only bird can fly forwards, backwards, upside down and hover. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying

the what does that say? Harrier? Harrier? Because hummingbirds, there's thousands, there's dozens of hummingbirds, and you're saying hummingbird, Kevin saying hummingbird. Brod he's saying hummingbird, Kuran saying seagull, Sean saying hummingbird, and Byron saying hummingbird. The correct answer is hummingbirds. That's bullshit, dude. So there's too many kinds of hummingbirds. So I didn't even know the harrier was a type of hummingbird. That's

the that's why they named the jets a northern harrier. Hummingbird, but that's not a kind we're going to give you it getting harrier isn't a hummingbird. I don't. I didn't say it's a humming I thought you were saying that is the type of hummingbird you were just going to I thought he was saying that was a type of hummingbird. Listen, man, you can't just say humming bird because there's too many kinds of hummingbirds, and I don't know that all of

them have that capability. It's like you, whether you know whether they do or don't. Hummingbirds break all the rules, will flight. Not only can they fly in any direction, but they also can hit speeds of seventy five miles per hour and come to a complete stop in the space no longer than you're index finger. Brody's winning, Phil hit us with the scoreboard up. Great now Brodie's winning. It's not over yet. That's right now. Brody is winning.

Uh if we have Byron in third place with six points, Stephen Ronella in second place with seven points, and pitching and perfect game so far with eight points? Is Broody Anderson? How many questions are do we have yet? Two questions? Then there's there's spar from over. Well it's technically two from over, but question nine the topic is hunting. North America's longest mule dear migration is a one hundred fifty mile journey that starts in Wyoming and ends in what state.

North America's longest mule deer migration is a one hundred fifty mile journey that starts in Wyoming and ends in what state. Steve was writing while I was about a third of the way through the question again, this starts in Wyoming and ends in what state? Is a one hundred fifty mile mule deer migration? I thought you were looking for the name of the migration. That's why I started some quick answers in the room. This really shows how much I need to relearn about my adjacent states.

Where you're like, is that state? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Wyoming, Andrew saying Colorado, Kevin saying Utah, Brody saying Wyoming, Krin saying Idaho, Sean saying Colorado, and Byron saying Colorado. The correct answer is Wyoming. Question. These are the questions they love ne neck No, but this is where your advice go with your My first insect was Wyoming. I was like, No,

that's too obvious. There's even think Colorado is adjacent. You know it is? Yeah? Is it right below? Basically, this is known as the Red Desert to Hoback migration, which was first discovered in there about one thousand mulee's in the herd. These deer spend four months each year migrating cross many rivers and highways as well as over one hundred fences. I've been trying to draw a tag on that migration path for a long what's the interest? Is

they pass Mulier that don't migrate? Yeah? And when they I think these thousand joined like four thousand when they get there really strange. I think the phrasing of that question, Yeah, that was That was difect phrasing of a question. Why not just ask what state has the longest? Too easy? Too easy? Then that I don't think everybody knows. But Phil, we are onto the final question. Give us a scoreboard update. Steve has eight points, Brody has nine points. So we

need Brody to choke on this last question. Oh man, the perfect game. We could see it again and he would get a thousand dollar donation instead of five hundred. The topic is conservation and This last great question comes to us from Daniel Clark. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com. What country was given its first elk and moose? By Teddy Roosevelt? What country was given its first elk and

moose by Teddy Roosevelt. We do not have an answer in the room yet. Wow, Brody needs this one to go ten for ten? What country was given its first elk and moose? By Teddy Roosevelt? Can hear a pin drop in here right now? They are thinking really hard? That is a home dinger. Now the topic here is conservation, which I think for both of you go into your second best category. What were you worried was going to

happen there? I also see now we have multiple white boards with suck at Brodyer number back if anyone wants to add that to their The final question, what country was given its first elk and moose by Teddy Roosevelt? Does everybody have an answer? Even if you're not playing for first place, you should still write down an answer because we keep a very tight baseball box score that this is surely going to affect that again to go to river question. We need to get this wrong and

Steve to get this right. We already go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying England, Andrew saying Britain.
