and introduce yourselves. Tommy Hunter picture with the Mets, Steve Enegstick picture Mets, Chris Bassett picture of the Mets, Pete Alonso, first baseman for the Mets, Steve Rinella, I uh I played tea ball dropped out Tyler Nakelin outfolder for the Mets. David Peterson picture for the Mets. Give us a better intro than that. Now we're gonna go around the room again. Tell us some of your bona fides when it comes to the outdoors. What you like to do hunting, fish

and things like that. Uh, Tommy Hunter again, Um uh I just I just like to get outside. Um weather fishing, um going off shore? Uh, tass fishing, tarpens. The tarpens are we gotta. I grew up in Indiana, Indianapolis, Um, but my my parents live in Port Charlotte, Um, so we go down there, Um get off shore. I love doing that. But I also I live in Ohio now and I've got a few acres in my backyard. Um, I've got a few few deer that running back. So

we do that. And then being in baseball, it's pretty much, you know, exposed me to the hunting world with all these guys and just getting out in the off season and you know, visiting with guys and going and killing ship. Now, that was a good introduction. Everyone needs to match that now going forward, all right, Stephen Gostick, I grew up Waterfell hunting northern California, moved to Oregon and started my big game journey and been getting my ass kicks ever since.

Pete was predicting that you might win trivia. There's a chance where where in northern California, just north of Sacramento. So I grew up in Rosville and then we did all of our hunting and Coloosa winners. Got you up by Klamath at all. No, I actually lived in Klamath. That's where I went when I moved to Oregon. That's where I killed my first buck. It took me three years, but got him with a bow. And Elk. I've been getting my absolute ass kids. I can't. I haven't even

been close. But that's a sneaky duck hunting area though, too. Man. I mean, I would rate Klamath one of the best places when when we get water. But I also love just like natural flood rivers. I'm not a big like sitting blind in a rice field. I grew up doing it, but now it's like I can't do it anymore when I get older. I'm definitely having a Tommy Hunter blind. Well what do you like doing? How do you what

are you like doing? Instead? I like, so me and my pop's got a duck boat and we started doing that and that's a lot of fun to getting out on the river. And yeah, it's much more like go out the day before, find where the ducks are at, and then put your boat close. And so I built like handmade lawn lines. So speaking my language now, yeah, just I put parrocord tight slivels on there, hooking to the decoys and then waits on each side. And what's

the Tommy hunter blind? He's gonna have to explain that call, explain that white collar. It's ah, what you explained to as a Rich Carlton talking propane heater. Yeah, we got we're not getting cold. Where what you want, There's gonna be a cooler, there's gonna be ice. I mean, we're gonna have it. We're gonna yeah, I'm not. I mean it's yeah, it's we're not doing Yeah. This body doesn't walk too far, so yeah. But when I get older, I'll have that. But right now it's I want to

go out and find it nice. So Chris Bassett Um mostly white tail hunting. Um got into waterfowl last last year and fell in love with it. I love it. Um been out west elk hunt and mule your hunting, but uh, mostly mostly I just chased around white tail very very a little bit just because we have a season. But for the most part, white tail, where'd you go duck hunting North Carolina? Last year? Was was horrible. There

were just weren't ducks at all there. Um. That was kind of everywhere we went, Like, um, where I live now is like forty five minutes in like Hyde County, Uh in North Carolina, so big time blackbird hunting there. Um. But yeah, for the most part, I said, just white tail, Steve, I just want to let you know that uh, strange creature on the on the trail cam I asked you about that? Was that was his proper? Yeah, so that he had on some sort of strange mythical creature on

his trail. Pete wanted me to sell my hunting spot just because I has I tore him on there. He said, you gotta sell that thing right now, but I didn't. I'm going with it. I'm Pete Alonso. Uh. I grew up Tampa Florida. I grew up doing the whole snoke, redfish and and trout inshore fishing. UM super easy. It's a great fishery, super easy to get off shore. UM. Still have not landed a tarpin yet. I know that's that's weird because tarpan season is always uh in baseball season.

But I've done my fair shriff hooked into him. But UM sucks not landing one. And also when I was younger, I used to go white tail hunting a lot with my grandpa and UM. Because of baseball and uh and not the season just being super long and uh time consuming, I haven't really had enough time to really go out and explore like the big game hunting. I didn't really get a chance to do it until uh two thousand

nineteen when Steve and I uh went in Colorado. He's nice enough to take me out, and um, I mean I've I went back the year after UM in Colorado, got a really nice elk and it's just been something that I'm itching to do, U continuing to do and just broadening my experience outdoors and then hopefully this offseason get to do some spear fishing, some free diving, and um go off shore, Pete when you win your next home run derby, are you gonna make another request to

go hunting with Steve? I mean I could probably just call him, now what you what if I was you, I would make a request to go spear fishing with Cameron kirk Connell. All right, then that's it. That might be smart because he's down in your neck of the woods. Where's he at, Well, he's he's fishes out of Florida. Okay, you know it would be easy. What part of what part of Florida? Where do we meet up when we're

down Yeah? Okay, so I'm just saying that for like, for expertise in local convenience, that'd be the that'd be the call out to make I'm yeah, absolutely, I'm I'm down right there down somewhere. Do you guys ever hope that you don't make it into the UM playoffs and ships so you can hunt more? Fuck? No, no play to win baby. A lot of people will say, like, we better win this whole damn thing, or we better lose really fast. I want to get home, or I want to win the whole damn thing. Like if you're

taking second, that sucks. Yeah, I guess wait wasting all your time? Man, you could have been off, you could have been doing something different. Um, Tyler nick One, I'm from Texas and as far as I mean, I could remember, I've been been whitetail hunting many many years with my family just growing up. UM, and waterfowl hunting as well. Um. We actually, my dad and brother flew up here um Wednesday night, and we flew in early yesterday and we went to Prodigy down here in Jasper, Georgia. It's a

duck hunting um. They make all those custom boats out there, and so we went over a couple of duck hunting builds and stuff like that for the off day yesterday.

And uh, I don't know I'm just extremely My My first thing would problem just extremely addicted to bow hunting, like white tail and getting up in the tree and and you know, just learning how to track these animals and learning how they work and see where they bed and things like that, and getting to tune your own bow and build our your own arrows and just every little aspect of that. UM, it goes a long way for me. UM. And probably my favorite would probably be

elk hunting and stuff. I've watched countless YouTube videos and hours of you guys doing all your stuff, and I just but I mean, we're always playing, so it's probably that would Probably My number one is you know, the big game stuff, But mine, UM has always been white tail and and ducks. To to this point, all right, Great David Peterson UM from Denver, Colorado. UM say, I'm

probably the the new guy in terms of hunting. Grew up fishing a little bit in Florida, UM, and then always love being outdoors and UM never really had anybody close to me who was an influence hunting wise. UM. And then I had some friends, uh no go and

I went to school together at Oregon. UM. He kind of started to plant the seed a little bit with another teammate of ours, and then UM had a buddy, one of my best friends from back home, got me into uh started with small game and did a bunch of pheasant and then had another friend from Texas who took me out of my first uh dear archery hunt. So UM kind of similar to what Pete said, looking forward to UM getting some time outside of baseball season once we're done and get out there a little more.

So you guys, you guys went to college together, then went up with the same team. Yeah we uh, we spent two years at Oregon together. No Go got drafted by the Red Sox. I got drafted by the Mets, and then he ended up getting traded over. Yeah. So I was drafted in sixteen, he was drafted in seventeen, and then right because the draft was in June of seventeen, and then I was traded August the seventeen over UM. And yeah, so he was the jum buck, this little guy,

even though he's not very little. Uh, but yeah, he came in and I kind of I was talking about hunting with one of our catchers who we were from the same area, hunted the same area, and then he started to take. It was like throwing a little worm out there, and he started taking it a little by little. And now now I'm excited for when season is over we can start going on hunts so good and we're sitting in Atlanta right now about to watch you guys

play the Braves night. I saw an ESPN headline this morning that called this the biggest regular season series in a decade, so obviously really important games. Tell folks what's on the line here tonight, Well, uh, what's on the line is, um so, both teams have have clinched a playoff spot. Um So, both teams are in. It's just a matter of whoever basically wins this series gets to

win the division. And winning the division, Uh, you're we are rewarded by five or six off days before before playing the divisional series and the loser, Um, if we lose this, I mean we still have games after this, but basically the loser of this series still goes to the playoffs. But we only have one off day and we play in a three game series as opposed to a five game series with five off days. So off days are very very rare in the in the baseball world.

And take them while you get them, and especially now going into the post season, getting guys healthy, getting guys back ready to go, and uh, full power for us, that's gonna be huge. So if we win, also, you need to have a hell of a champagne shower. Yeah. You were describing this as the playoffs before the playoffs, right, I mean essentially? Yeah? Yeah, all right, but for now we got to focus on the meteor trivia. Who do you guys think is going to win? Pete already predicted

that Steve is going to be the Mets champion? How does everyone else feel that folks are gonna do? I never claimed that I'm gonna say that. First, I gotta not the sharpest tool in the shed, and I just like to read and learn, But I never said I could remember it on the spot. I got Nike Winn if I had to pick, Yeah, I think I got make Win is kind of a sleeper, but no sort of getting all the hype right now and he could run away with this thing, but it wouldn't be surprised.

It's going to be questions before but what do we yeah, what's the category? What we oh? This is all random fellas. If there's like Disney Movies, pete might win, but if you're not familiar. This is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals which you're hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat eater will donate five dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing.

So this is testing your knowledge of hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking. Does that change anyone's answer now about who's gonna win? A double down? Make one all right? Now? Every episode here on Meat eat Or Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week we're looking at our only trivia advanced stat, which will refer to as war. This was inspired by Baseball's advanced stat called more. So, one of you guys,

please explain to Steve what war means. Steve, to be honest with you, no one knows what the war is a made up number, so they could make us not that expensive, that's what it is. Or if your war is low, you become expensive. It's a crazy they use it opposite. So if you have a high war, they try to pay you less. Have a low war, and they try they give you a little more. It's it's it's crazy. It's supposed to be. There's a set dollar figure until you get above what they think you should

be making. Steve, there's a stat out there. I'll put it in the hunting world like this. Say you, you and two guys are going to on an elk con right, and you kill a bigger bull and you do it smooth clean, every perfect, but the other guy on the other side of the mountain does it a little bit quicker. They're gonna be like, well, yeah, Steve was a little bit slower, so we have to knock some dollars off his thing. Even though you were better, you're just not

as good. You're just slower. And like there's there's stats and stuff like that. So the war they're just poking holes in the lid of that coffee can just to not give you what you need in a way. And now has a war number. This number was generated by taking a player's every score and dividing it the average points needed to win. This is a leveling factor that takes into consideration how difficult rounds of trivia are and

how different players compete in them. Simply put, the higher the number, the stronger the player, So our leader in war is Brody with seven point two. That's followed by Steve was six point three, Honest with five point eight, Callen Hayden with five point five, and Rick with five point oh. Those are our only competitors with a war above five. So, Steve, how do you feel about our

advanced stat? Well? I think it. Uh. I don't mean to dog on, you know, I don't mean to criticize these guys criticisms about whatever war means in their world, but war in the trivia world is pretty reflective of performance in general. So you support our war stat It seems reasonable to me. It's weird Sean as an emerging threat didn't make it in there. He's he's under five. I think he's right around. And with that, we're on the Meetia to trivia. Play the drop one question, play

the drop. Uh, can you walk me through like you'd like to throw a bone to gas? How are you? How are you approaching that question too? You'll know pretty quick. So it's only you're only throwing them one bone. They get one bone. It didn't flavor the whole thing. We also have a question about the NFL, which I realized these guys don't play football, but I think it would give them a flavor. Did the did the the our guests occupations flavor the entire suite of questions? Not the

entire thing? No, I would still flavor eight. I would say it flavored all ten, but not in a in a significant way. The little a little pinch. That's right. One of them will heavily favor them for being MLB players, But the rest they're gonna have to earn it because I have view anything that favors them as being not favoring me. That's very true. Look, I need to know what I should under win everything. How's that just tend to win everything? Question one? The topic is fishing, and

this is multiple choice. Which of these invasive species was the last to arrive in America? Is it lion fish, common carp, zebra muscles, or northern snakehead? Which of these invasive species was last to arrive in America? Your choices are lion fish, common carp, zebra muscles, or northern snakehead. Steve, how you feel about this one? I gotta I know I got a down dope to two? Okay? Does arrest the room feel that confident that you got it down to two? Of them, yep, one more time. Choices are

lion fish, common carb, zebra muscles in northern snakehead. Are you all wanting us to write out like d or do you want to out right out the whole answer? So if you think it's lion fish, right out line fish, he doesn't. He won't bone you on spelling either. Does everybody, even though someone here has requested it before, does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We

got Tommy, Tommy saying northern snakehead. Uh, Stephen saying snakehead, Chris saying snakehead, Pete saying he was right and away, yeah he was. It was. It's a wrong. It's a long answer. It's a long answer. We got Pete saying zebra muscles, Steve saying sneakheads, Kren saying lion fish, Sun saying snakehead, Tyler saying snakehead, David saying snakehead. The room did very well. The correct answer is northern snakehead. Pets already behind man. Common Carp arrived on america Is coast.

Thank you for that. That was that was great. Common Carp arrived on America's East coast in eighteen thirty one. The first lion fish here was spotted in Florida in nineteen eighty five, The first zebra muscles showed up in a Lake Saint Clair cargo ship in nineteen eighty six, and the country's first northern snakehead was caught from a

California pond in nineteen It was California, California. A lot of people think it would be Maryland with the Potomac, but it was actually California started the invasion nineties seven, So that's eleven years after. What are the what are the fish that jumped like with like a boat, That's what I was. I was like, all right, maybe those are brand new newish. They the whole carp invasion sort of happened at once and finding like firm dates on wind all no common cars like not I mean the

the Asiatic carp having at once right. Well, But the problem is like when you look at the literature, there's like the Asian carpet broken up into black grass, silver big head. You'll find days like Asian carp drive now, but then silver carp right now. It's just like too hard common carpell firmly in eighteen through one on purpose. Oh yeah, they were just like throwing them off of trains to stock him in every pond. The government was giving them away. They wanted them in everybody of water.

They thought everybody would just be loving it, eating them. Yeah. Question to the topic is hunting. This state, whose MLB team has a moose for a mascot, has the fourth highest moose population in America. This state, whose MLB team has a moose for a mascot, has the fourth highest moose population in America. Most of our baseball players seem

like they have it. Pete looks stumped. What in the world you guys are ridiculous right now if y'all get it wrong on the fourth highest in the drinking Just the way their faces extorting right now, I mean, this is You's the question one more time? This state, who's MLB team to This state whose MLB team has a moose for a mascot, has the fourth highest moose population in America. I'm trying to picture him on the dugout. Oh no, no, keep your answer on there. Don't change it.

Got a lot of coaching going on from Tommy here. Highest in America, fourth highest moose population. I'm looking for the state. You need to tell me what state this is and their MLB team has a moose for a mascot. I'm just a state, like what. All states don't have a team. Don't tell him that MLD players. This is your best chance to pull a head of Steve. Northern states have very limited teams. We're just the states right just right down. That's right. Don't don't help do not

help him. This is your chance to get lead. Don't help him at all. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for the state whose MLB team has a moose fer mascot and the fourth highest moose population in America? Steve is stumped. I love that you just stripped all the other bullshit out and just said fourth highest moose population in America to stumped man looking for the state, kiss spell right, kiss my hands. I think this is an American League question. You would be right that that's not

gonna help you. That's you guys are talking in riddles right now. To Steve, I don't think I got it. If I got it pretty close, okay, does everybody have an answer? That's what I go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying Washington Stephen staying Washington, Chris saying Washington, Washington, Steve saying Washington and saying Wisconsin, Sean saying Wisconsinhington David saying Washington. It's wrong. The correct answer is Washington. The

Seattle Moose, Dude, I've never played in Seattle. They have the move I've never played. That's such a dug out. Their mascot is doesn't make any sense. I mean, I bet their game. The Seattle Manners have the coolest camera in the big leagues on that field is sick to know. Yeah, I've been there, man. My kids thought it was because they like do the fireworks after every comer. You know, my kids thought it was a fireworks show that played out very slowly. When when did you go? When did

you go? Have been like probably four or five years ago, because now they're selling like like crickets and all that stuff at the at the ballpark, eating crickets, crickets to eat. Yeah, put chocolate on him. Mariner moose. So it's a moose dressed up like a Mariner. Yes, exactly, Susville. I'm from watching I was a die hard Mariners fan for Wow. I just want to let you guys know that this question was completely unfair to those who did not play in the American League. I'm a only a National League

gy and I had went over my fucking head. Why do you have it right there? Though? Because I was my best educated guess Washington, he just had to use the fourth highest moose population. He's still got it right what I'm saying, But he why does it seem like he's You're complaining even though you one. No, It's because Chris gets fucking giving me a hard time over here. Alaska has two hundred thousand moose, which is followed by Maine with sixty five thousand, Idaho with ten thousand, Washington

with five thousands, and Minnesota with forty seven hundred. The Seattle Mariners, who have the only moose mascot in baseball, has been proudly represented by Mariner Moose since ninety How many does wash in half? Washington has five thousand? How many? Minnesota had? The Twins mascot? Is a bear? TC? Bear? You had a mammal question three? The topic is wildlife. This next great question comes to us via Cody Row.

You can see the picture. Here's the question one more time. This famous bear from Georgia died in nineteen five after eating seventy six pounds of what do you accept? His name? And now you need to tell me what this bear ate? Does anybody besides Steve think they know it? Sean, you

Pete saying spoiled food, Steve saying cocaine, Karin saying hot cheetos, Sean saying cocaine, Tyler saying when whatever Nogo said it's tough to spell. I was like, we're in Georgia. It's cut. It's an invasive plant. That's dude. I had this whole plane. I was like, Steve and Pete texted and he said, make us about cut suit at some point, because Steve Pete loves cut suit. So

the New York Metropolitans love cut suit. It's our it's our favorite vine. And David David sang tobacco. The correct answer is cocaine. Oh my god, I think you should have said the bear's name. That he has multiple names. This creator, who ate fourteen million dollars worth of blow, is known as the Cocaine Bear or Pablo Esco Bear. He stumbled on a duffle bag of coke that fell

from a smugglers plane over the Chattahoochee National Forest. The Cocaine Bear was taxed, I mean, and it's now on display at the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington, because I remember reading an article about that and they mentioned that he was the most apex predator on planet Earth at that time. It's imagine running into that bear.

It's amazing. Would it be just so bluntly quickly toxic or would it be that he was that he had some hours He yeah, it was just like it's just like so much that you're just dead There's also theories there was somebody who did knee cropsy on this bear and they only found like four milligrams of coke in

its system. Now people actually suspect that somebody luckily just showed up on this defel bag of coke, took it with him and the bear died anyway from only like you know, a sniffle, Oh, I got you, but the that's not nearest fun pounds got the credit, but some dude ran off of all the stuff. That's but with his name and the display at where he's taxed Durman, it says he ate seventy six pounds of cocaine. Good for that bear. There's a brand new house mansion right

up the hill. Some local dare look also just living the life. He was a lottery but no one ever saw the ticket, you know. Question for the topic is cooking. The flint stone steak is a nickname for what cut of meat? The flint stone steak is a nickname for what cut of meat? Some quick answers, you know this one, Tommy, No, how about you, Pete? You got this one? What the flint stone steak is? I think I have a strong educated guess, but probably not this this question for again,

the topic is cooking. The flint Stone steak is a nickname for what cut of meat. A lot of writing from Steve over there. Does everybody okay? Because that won't help you. Does everybody have an answer? These guys are showing each other the answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Say chop? And then I got there's the loin and there's the upper rim, Shawn saying bone in, ham, Tyler saying, and David saying tomahawk. The correct answer is ribby or tomahawk. So the room did fairly well. Definitely acceptable, I would say I would give that to you. This is of course named after Fred Flintstone. It's basically a ribby steak

that wasn't cut off the rib bone. If you want to learn how to remove one of them from a deer, then go to the Meat eater dot com and watch Ryan Callahan's video called how to cut a tomahawk Steak. Question five the topic is hunting. This next Greek question comes to us via Colin Conner. If you have a question you think is right for from Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to Trivia at the meat eater dot com. There are five animals you can hunt in

the nineteen eight five video game The Organ Trail. Named three of those animals, three of them. There are five animals you can hunt in the nineteen eight five video game The Organ Trail named three of those animals. Tommy's got this one of them. This is actually hilarious because I just downloaded Organ Trail, had had a chance to dig in, I brinded it. Now. I feel I feel like there's been like twenty versions of the Oregon Trail. The five is kind of one of the o G versions.

I have the modern version. Okay, I listed every animal, just case only list three? Only list three of them? Can't have you just shotgun and out answers. There are five animals you can hunt in the video game The Organ Trail named three of those animals. Steve, did you ever play The Organ Trail? Do you know what it is? Yep, it's a video game. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for three of the five animals that you can hunt waiting on David. David, you can come up with a

third one. You went to school there, you should know it, buddy, Go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying buffalo, elk, moose, Stephen saying moose, dear bison, Chris saying elk, bison, deer, Pete saying dear fox, bear, Steve saying bison, dear turkey, Grin saying turkey, bison, deer, Sean saying dear squirrel, bear, Tyler saying dear rabbit, beaver that's ay, or bear, bear,

dear rabbit bear. David saying bear, dear squirrel. The five animals you can hunt are squirrels, rabbits, bison, deer, and bear. The room did fairly well. I don't know where that turkey I got a thing came from. Man. I'm just like, all of a sudden, in my mind, I out the more modern version. I got into the politics of like that. They're like, well, it can't be a bear because people think it's mean. I brought too much into the table, man, and it was like the old days, right. I died

of dysentery. During the popular Hunting mini game, players had to type bang to fire their gun at the five different animals. The Organ Trail entered the World Video Game Hall of Fame in it was the only educational video game to receive such an honor until Where in the World Is. Carmen San Diego was inducted in best This was not what I was thinking. You picked me to win in this like cooking and stuff, brother or not, I'm bringing it. I'm gonna bring it in, but I

ain't cooking it up. We are way through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update, Phil, Yeah, we'll do uh in last place. But still on the board, we have Karine Schneider with one point, coming up next with two points. He's got a high asked. We've got Pete Alonzo tied for We got a four way tie for the next spot. Here we got Tommy Hunter, Stephen Ronella, Sean Weaver, and Chris Bassett all with three points and then tied for first place with four points apiece. We've

got Tyler Nike when Dave Peterson and Stevenago sick. Wow, I was really hoping to right now, no nozz Pete got to last. Okay, so who's that's a reverse order? Then he's almost in Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly Who's who's in the lead? Tyler Stephen Dave Are. I was hoping because usually when we do this and someone's got a perfect score, we say they're throwing a perfect game. Would have been a perfect metaphor. But unfortunately you got the wrong version of Oregan Trail, so I couldn't couldn't throw

that out there. You screwed up Oregan Trail. Yeah. I went with a modern version that I've been playing in the past two days. Apparently has moose. But the five version, that's a tricky question. I don't remember the squirrels at all. Squirrels, I don't remember they were there. But it was a very poor yield for meat. You can only take a hundred pounds of meat at a time on a hunt, so you were wasting your time if you were shooting bullets at Bullets are expensive. You gotta really plan out,

and they take up a lot of room. And I'm not shooting a damn squirrel. When I have seven, I'll shoot, I'll shoot the elk. Good strategy Question six. The topic is conservation. Although this marsupial wasn't declared extinct until nineteen eighty two. The last known one of these died at a zoo in nineteen thirty six. What is it? Although this marsupial wasn't declared extinct until nineteen eighty two, the last known one of these died at a zoo in nineteen thirty six. What is it? Steve has his fist

in the air. He knows this one. The rest of the room not as confident. I think there's a good bit of us who are wondering what the marsupial is. Thing like a kangaroo, but not a kangaroo. There you go, Jeff, Jeff McNeil, He's a flying squirrel. Flying squirrels are marsupials. I can't even remember what drinks exactly called. I'm just this is this is fun. It is extinct in nineteen thirty six, Again the topic is conservation, although this marsupial

wasn't declared extinct until nineteen eighty two. The last known one of these died into zoo in nineteen thirty six. I think you should throw a little more in. What what other detail would you add? I think that you could go so far is to um narrow? Uh like maybe it's uh multiple choice? Why do you can you could help geographically, I'll tell you what zoo it died at. It was an Australian zoo. Work were there conservation efforts made to try to save this but it was too late?

I would say very minimal, like it was non existent. Okay, that doesn't help me. Do you guys know any marsupials besides a flying squirrel? I think you could even say something like, I didn't even know where it's from, but I can't remember what the actual name of it. I think you could even say, here's here's why I feel

okay about it. There's hardly any marsupials in the world, so to figure out which one went extinct, it's a short list declared extinct in nineteen eighty two, but the last known one died at the zoo in give it hint ready, I'm gonna give hint Willem Defoe and then I don't get that hinted all. I have the answer in front of me, and that didn't help me. Does everybody have an answer? Who's gonna come up with an answer?

Go ahead and reveil your answers. We got Tommy saying wombat, Chris got an answer, Pete saying giant wombat, Steve saying Tasmanian tiger, Krin saying some kind of sloth, Sean saying Tasmanian tiger, David saying albino kangaroo. Steve got it and Sean got it. It's a Tasmanian tiger. There's a Willem Dafoe movie that came out not too long ago about a guy these it's these guys that are these evil scientists. Well, all right, let back up, man. There's a term called

the Lazarus species. And as we all know, in the Old Testament Lazarus, No, he's a New Testament or Old Testament Lazarus in the Bible, as the Lazarus dies and he's brought back to life. So with a lot of dangerous species, we have like certain Lazarus species. And for the most noteworthy in our continent is the the blackfooted ferret. Everybody thought it went extinct. Then all of a sudden, the rancher's dog is standing there with a dead one in his mouth, and they realized, the Holy ship, there's

this population in the tits Wyoming that no one knew about. Uh. The Tasmanian tiger has this long it's people. There's people that just do not accept that it's gone. There's sightings every year. Willem defoteed a movie where these evil bio engineers were gonna they've found out about the last one, and and he was hired to go get it so they can make an evil medicine. And in the and

he kills it and burns it last Tasmanian tiger. It's like a like like they find out that there's one still run around, and there's every year you've got people who are like I saw one crossing the road. Most biologists believed Tasmanian tigers went extincts sometime in the nineteen fifties, while they think they might have held on into the twenty first century. One of the most optic mystic researchers is Barry Brook, a mamally cologist from the University of Tasmania.

He believes there's a ten percent chance that the Tasmanian tiger is still alive, but is ready to admit their extinct if a clear photograph isn't produced by the year one. They come up with that date. He said, If I don't see a clear photograph in the next decade, this is a code he had last year and their extinct. And there's no chance, he said, photographs are too easy to take anymore. If they're out there, we're gonna know. It sounds like he's just like spitballing in ten years

from now if I don't see a good picture. It's so academic, right, Like all kinds of other ship could emerge, like hair samples. But he'd be like, I haven't got the that's a cool thing about a Tasmanian tigers. Anybody could be an expert because they just like don't exist. Question seven, The topic is for bears. This next great question comes to is via Colton Winkler. If you have a question you think is right for meat Eatter Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat Eator

dot com. Two Southern states list the raccoon as an official state mammal name one of those states. Two Southern states list the raccoon as an official state mammal name one of those two states. Did you say a fur bear a fur bearer? Fur bearer we call him trash pandas in Texas, be like like an animal producers. I don't know what he was saying. I was like fur Bearer. There's even a minor league baseball team, right, that is it Anaheims. That's the Rocket City trash Pandas. That's cool,

that's great. Two southern states that have the raccoon is an official state mammal. You need to name one of those states worst one? Just picking the worst southern state? Does everybody have an answer to Southern states? Just looking?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying the worst southern state Alabama, Stephen staying Alabama, Chris saying Mississippi, pizzaying Arkansas, Steve saying Georgia, kre In saying South Carolina, Shawn saying Mississippi, Tyler saying Texas, and David saying Alabama. Nobody got it, But the correct answers are Oklahoma and Tennessee. You guys name almost. I thought Arkansas was a great guest every of the planes. That's not that's when when

you say that. I looked at the year the US Bureau of Maps and they identify that as the south anything below the Mason Dixon as far west as Oklahoma. I personally don't believe Alabama is the worst. I just think other people think it's the worst. That's why I said it needed to relate. You know. Still, World Tide Boys Tennessee deck the Raccoon their official state mammal. In nineteen seventy one, in Oklahoma declared the raccoon their official

state fur bearing mammal. In Oklahoma is the only state with an official state fur bearer. Question eight, the topic is cooking. What medi monstrosity was popularized in America by NFL commentator John Madden. What what Meadi monstrosity was popularized in America by NFL commentator A villainous laugh from Chris he thinks he knows the answer. A Meadi monstrosity was popularized in America by NFL commentator John Madden. I've seen some answer sharing being done over here, but Chris is

keeping this one to himself. He put his board on the ground. This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. I don't even have like something to write down. What medi monstrosity was popularized in America by NFL commentator John Madden. Do you know who John Madden is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, But this is a so it's a it's a food. It's a food. It's a Meadi monstross. It's like a single big item. And tell you this, it's a Meadi monstross. Whatever you think

that means. John Man popularized I'll give a little meat. I don't know. I don't want to hold onto this. You're the only one who knows it. It It could put you in the lead. All right, all right, okay, can we ask if it's an animal or like? Not giving any hints? It's a meaty monstrosity. Steve, do you have an answer? Yeah, but it's not it's not the right answer. Okay, I'm drawing. It's total blank man. I just wrote down something I think of as a Meadi monstross. Okay, go

ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying alligator, Stephen saying meaty milkshake, Chris sang tour ducan, Pete saying big buford burger, Steve saying saying sloppy, Joe Tyler saying ribs, David saying giant turkey legs. Chris got it. The correct answer is a tur ducane a. Steve also got it. It's a turkey. They a big turkey, put a duck in the turkey and then put a chicken in the duck. It's like one big meat ball, but Madden was introduced.

Madden was introduced the tur ducan at a ram Saints game in nine nineties six. A few weeks later, during the NFL's Thanksgiving Game, Madden gave the meal national attention by calling it one of the best things he'd ever eaten. One to duck, and seller from Louisiana said that the following year his sales went from two hundred to six thousand, all because Madden evangelized about the unusual dish. Madden reportedly ate one every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Phil, we

have two questions left, give us a scoreboard update. All right, Karin still has one point, Pete Alonso still has two points. Then, unfortunately they are out of the running, but still in the running. With two questions left, we have Tommy Hunter with three points and all with four points. You've got Tyler, Stephen Ghostick, Sean Weaver, David Peterson, and Chris Bassett and in first place pulled ahead five points. We have Stephen Ranella.

Two questions left. Don't blow it. I'm gonna throw the game. Question nine. The topic is geared. This next great question comes to us via Ben Roadie. If you have a question you think is right from meat eat to Trivita, you can send it to triviat to meat eator dot com. Besides a blade named two of the three tools that the first Swiss Army knife had. Besides a blade named two of the three tools that the first Swiss Army

Knife had, a lot of thinking going on. I just hate that you threw that out there and got that. There's a good guest, though, I don't even know what I don't even know what another option would be. I was thinking. I was just thinking it was gonna be some super stacked burger that's like, you know, a bunch of bacon and an eggs. Blade named two of the three tools that the first Swiss Army Knife had. It's really not surprised. John Madden was a big tur duck

and fan. There was another time on Monday night football where he ate one with his bare hands, and then, uh, somebody came in to the like press booth where he was at. I think it was like somebody very important Saints owner or something, and they said that he just went and shook his hand full of grease. That's right, We're looking for two of the three tools from the first Swiss Army Knife besides the blade. Are you able to say how many? How many tools were on it total?

There were three tools? I need you to name two of those three. Well, in the knife there was four. Counting the knife, there were befour besides a blade, named two of the three tools at the first Swiss Army Knife had. How do you feel about this one? Steve's just pretty strong, going to keep you in the lead. No, well, I feel strong, Okay, No, I really need the last question to be a doozy. These guys just flat out con burrying over here, confirmed but even being whispered, they're consulting.

Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying spoon and flathead, Stephen saying screwdriver and saw, Chris corkscrew and file, Pete saying corkscrew and screwdriver, Steve saying corkscrew and scissors, Crean saying screwdriver and file. The question, Tyler saying screwdriver and what's that saying the screw pick, the screw pick, and David saying scissors and bottle. Opener, I don't know if anybody got it. The correct answers

are reamer, screwdriver, and can or bottle opener. I don't think anyway those things because like how many people need to open wine? Like I felt like corkscrews are so common on those things, you know, not not on the first one. The first Swiss army knife was produced for soldiers in the officers version came out six years later, which included a second knife, blade, and corkscrew. More iterations than the officers version. That will help that that doesn't

create division in the ranks, right. More modern iterations include saws, players, scissors, compasses, lights, tweezers, whistles, fish, scalers, files, pens, and wire cutters. Did these guys had their launch eating so bad by the other man? You know what I mean? Just pass them off just like blewe did anybody get that? Right? Phil? So we have no change to the scoreboard. We're onto

our final question, Question ten. The topic is conservation. Five of America's ten tallest dams are found in this state west of the Mississippi River. Five of America's ten tallest dam are found in this state west of the Mississippi River. Feel how many people do we have left in the game. Everyone except for Pete, Karin and Tommy. Wow, can tie it up right now. If Steve gets this wrong, it's a good game one more time. Five of America's ten tallest damns are found in this state west of the

Mississippi River. I love to see a map right now, Steve, how you feel about this one? Rubbing his head. It's one of those ones where I feel like I should know, but it's like I just don't know. No, it's not like that turd, duck and ship where I just pulled it out of my Like, this feels like it should be right there, right, but I'm trying to like figure it out, but it seems like I should it would just be just no. So we need Steve to get it wrong. In the rest of the room to get

it right. Does everybody have an answer? I hope everyone's wrong and I'm right. Five of America's ten tallest damns are found in this state west of the Mississippi River. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Tommy saying Nevada, Stephen saying California, Chris sang Utah, Pete saying Nevada. Steve saying Washington, Karin saying South Dakota, Shawn saying Washington, Tyler saying Oklahoma, and David saying California. We have a correct answer in the room. It's California. Three way tie going

to overtime. What was it? It was California. California has the first, fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth tallest damns in the country. The tallest damn is the Oraville Damn on the Feather River at seven hundred seventy feet tall. It's forty four ft higher than the Hoover Dam, which is in second place. I don't know the other four. You see my line of reasoning though, right, all those big dams on the Columbia I think everybody had a reasonable

guest there holding with California. It's called slaying a drought. So I was like, they gotta have it, and it's biggest state. You mean, like because they need to retain more water. Yeah, so fill who do we have going to overtime in this three way tie? We got the two Steves and David Peterson. David Peterson, how this works? Explain how overtime work? We have one final question, and this is a numerical question. Whoever is closest to the

right answer will be declared our winner. Just none of this, like none of this like without going over bullshit, just like the closest. If everyone else wants to play along, you're welcome to your first last. We don't make any sense at all. First your laft. You can be, second, you can be third, fourth, hell you five. The topic is conservation according to the U. S d A. How many states have confirmed populations of feral hoggs as of one? According to the U s d A, how many states

have confirmed populations of feral hogs as of one? Are you counting on your fingers over there, Steve? On the rune them down? Okay? Confirmed? According to the U s d A. How many states have confirmed populations of ferrell hogs as of Stephen? How you feeling about this one? I'm not gonna lie. It's like a thirty eight percent chance. Thirty percent chance. That look good on you if you feel thirty eight percent confident? Steve, how you doing over there?

I don't want I really want to distract here. I'm not feeling I'm not feeling terrible, but I'm not gonna I'm gassing uh huh, and I have theories about whether i'd want to go right through. Sure. Now, David, you declared yourself the newest hunter in the room, and now here you are at the tiebreaker. How are you feeling about this one? Do you think you're doing? Okay? I mean, I got a guess, but I don't. I don't know

if I have any chance. Now you're you're basically competing about three of your teammates on this couch, competing against them. They're all sharing answers. Yeah, you got an answer. We're gonna reveal here soon if you're ready. I'm ready. But if not, honestly sit here in Dame every damn say you have an answer and scratch Steve, you have an answer. Yeah, I got an answer. Okay, Ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. Get Steven saying thirty two, Steve saying thirty five,

wild pig populations. Yea, you know about it. And then I had thirty one and I forgot about Hawaii or Hawa and sorry to add it, and then I still lost great guesses though to donate an honor in honor of my friend Peter Lansongo, donate to Captain's for Clean Water? And and why is that in on piece in Florida? He fishes in Florida. He wants to catch a tarpin and I actually landed, And um so I think that everglades restoration and water quality around Florida will continue to

matter for Pizza Loco Captain's for Clean Water. I like it. Are you guys worried all that tonight? You're gonna be up too bad? And just like be messing with you in your head that you didn't get Tasmanian Tiger and it's gonna distract you? Is Buck Show Walter gonna be okay with this? I hope I'm a Tasmanian tiger in the fucking box today. That's good. Good. You can't can. It's hard to get a better nickname than polar bear, but Tasmanian tiger would be right up there. That's pretty sick.

I don't want you extinct in the batter's box. It's if he bombs the beginning of the game, it comes back, he'll be Lazarus.
