Otherwise you're gonna be getting some spoilers here, all right, now that everyone is caught up, you know, my my pen so dead. The I was trying to darken something and when I write my pen across it to darken it,

it actually erases. Yeah, like my pen isn't eracer faulty equipment. We can we can probably get like a note pad in like a pen in paper. You think that would help, We can pause right now and go get it. Let's I gotta say, Spencer, I feel like you miss an opportunity with this tournament.

We're gonna have four episodes. We're gonna have a whole brand. Get the blue collar scholar in here. We gotta get a line of odds going, and that's gonna be happening now this did Cal not make it to the room of the Champions of Champions. I couldn't get it on his schedule to play one of the qualifying rounds. I tried real hard, and we couldn't make it happen with cal schedule. I don't think Cal wanted to try very hard either. Like he's like a mediocre performer. I mean,

am I wrong? Based on theod That's right? All right? Now that everyone's caught up, we're ready to crown a meat eater trivia champion. Will it be Brody? The winning is player and meat eater trivia history. Will it be Steve, the man who's humunculous has never got a question wrong? Or could it be Honest, the actual silent killer on the show. Or could it be Maggie, a player with the weight of an entire gender on her back don't

do that? Or will it be one of these other mougs like Seth Sean Haydner, Corey a pack of lovable underdogs with a combined two victories in meat Eaters. So let's hear. Let's go on the room, good job and get a condiction from each player about who's gonna win. We'll start with Steve. Steve, are you betting on yourself? I don't like to engage this kind of stuff. Man, cal can play mediocre trivia, but Steve won't pick who's gonna win this game. We'll skipping Maggie. Maggie, who do

you who you got your money on? I gotta put my money on somebody on yourself? Man? All right, yeah, I'll bet on myself. I could use a little extra confidence going into this round. All right, Corey Culkin, is he gonna give us an honest answer? I think conservation is gonna win this one, Brodie. I have to imagine you're picking Brodie? Right? Um? Do you do you think there's any politicians out there that don't vote for themselves when they're on the ballot. I'm just curious. I think

that ever happened. It's voting for yourself. Isn't saying that you're gonna win? In fact? The demons, I'm not. I'm not saying it either, but I'm voting for myself. All right, there we go. Seth Um, Yeah, I'm gonna vote for myself as well. You think you're okay? How about you? We just got to the part and where the red fern grows where Grandpa stream with the two boys, and then the boy ends up with the axe and his belly and Grandpa feels real bad about taking up that bet.

This is different than that. But that's a good book. Yes, I did figure out how to stream it. Haven't watched it yet. The girls and I are gonna finish and then and then we're gonna stream it. What a great book? Do you think? I think that The Two Little Hounds, Old Man and a Little Land. Okay, you know, if you're interesting what you saw about Clay did a whole lot of you. Listen to Clay's I did this a little series on the author and story. It's good, honestly said.

Still no answer on who's gonna win. No all, I'm feeling pretty good. I got Whirdlin three this morning pretty pretty quickly. So yeah, I'm feeling hot. TA today is a answers, right, Hayden should actually be feeling hot coming and he just had his first ever victory in last week's episode. So, Hayden, who you picking? They say you were a blind squirrel and you just found her nut? Come on, would you be like, I find another one right now? Again? It would you be like, I don't know, man,

it might be a while. You burned it out. And in the very last episode of this you were just saying that you didn't pick on people during trivia. Oh I forgot. I think Brody is gonna win three votes. The room is on Brody. I'm putting the pressure on him. That's why I like playing a psychological game. Are you guys nervous? I'm I think I'm nervous for you. I've had jitters like all day figuring out who's gonna win. I serious last night, I mean a little bit, I'm

I'm stoked. I'm stoked to the champion. She got a three and a half half point Today's winner. She she's very liberal, giving herself half points when she feels like she earned it, and she I don't argue. So three and alf on today's episode before we actually play the trivia. You know how, like the last presidential debate, they asked the candidates if they're going to accept the results of the election. I feel like we need a couple of our players to say, I'm gonna have the same answer

that President Trump had. I don't know, not the answer I was looking for. I think we got it. I don't know from Brody and Steve. I won't have a problem with I mean, can we argue the results? Because that happened A lot too happened. I'm gonna storm the doors of my house if they don't win this. Stop the steal. And we've got no housekeeping today. So let's get to trivia. Play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I staying to win everything. I'm saying,

just tend to win everything, suckers. Question one. The topic is cooking, and this is multiple choice. Which of these table scraps would be toxic for your hunting dog? Is it blueberries, avocado, shrimp, or green beans? Which of these table scraps would be toxic for your hunting dog? Blueberries, avocado, shrimp, or green beans. We have a confident Steve play confident, Seth, Brody, Corey. No, we do have everybody owns a dog in here that's playing so everything, man, my, my, my kids, got this

whole running list of everything there. It's gonna kill their dogs. The dog eats something off the floor in their meeting. Start, Yes, he gonna dog. Over in New Zealand, they feed him whole bars of chocolate for their dogs. No issues at all over here. Yeah, one bite kills the dog. So here's your first argument coming up one more time. Which of these table scraps would be toxic for your hunting dog? Blueberries, avocado, shrimp,

green beans? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying blueberries, Maggie sang shrimp, Corey sang avocado, Brody sang blueberries, Sets saying blueberries, Sean saying avocado, Jana saying shrimp, and Hayden saying blueberries. The correct answer is avocado, really, which puts our two front runners off to an all one start. Now, blueberries, shrimping, green beans are all considered

healthy snacks for your dog. Avocados, on the other hand, contain pierson, which, when ingested, causes vomiting and diarrhea for canines. Other pets that are sensitive to avocados include birds, horses, rabbits, and rodents. My dog stole half of a Chipotle burrito the other day. I'd like to point out he's just fine. I didn't have enough glock on that. I noticed what he's saying. It's toxic, but it could be like extremely

mildly times, not one of his best questions. I picked up the I picked up his his bowel movement the next morning, and there was no indication of toxicity. There is no question my avocado is bad for them. They even haven't. Like the Animal Pet Poison Hotline wants you to call them. If you see your dog eating any part of an avocado, whether it's the pit, the skin, glock, any of that stuff, it's unquestionably bad for them. There's a joke where I'm not gonna tell it, ab I'll

tell you about it. Uh. These guys like walking down the sidewalk and they and they're worried about this that they there's a pile of dog shit, but they can't figure of if it is or not. And so with like smelling it, touching it, tasting it, and eventually one of them goes, damn, that is dog shit. He's like, glad we did stuff. But what part of the joke is missing if you were going to tell the joke. I've found a way to tell questionable jokes by saying

I'm gonna tell you about the joke. I'm not telling you the joke. I'm letting you know that there is a joke in existence that goes like this, and then you can do it. And it weren't. It wasn't that you were telling the jokes. You were telling about the jokes. That's a good end around you tell jokes you'd never tell. Yeah, there's this bad word. You can't say that joke.

I really need to show you. Yeah, we have Steve saying tempoura, tempoura, tempourah, and the rest of the room says tempura. They got am I wrong. The correct answer is tempouraa. This cooking style was popularized by Portuguese traders in Japan who prepared their shrimp by lightly frying them.

It was originally viewed as a luxury dish because most people from Japan use their oil for heat rather than cooking, but the cooking style caught on across the country in the seventeenth century when rape seed oils became mass produced. That's good. I didn't know you used egan tempora. You do? You know what man we used to make. We used to bone out cottontail rabbits and do rabbit tempera what what? What made it tempura to you?

The lightest large mouth bass record goes to Alaska, which was set in within eight ounce fish. Some believe that seven inch bass from Anchorages Sand Lake was the first ever large mouth caught in Alaska. Is that one

He was referring to their management style that allows for activities like timber harvest, grazing, mining, and recreating. Phil give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. It wouldn't be the Trivia Championship if all players were not

still in contention. We have Seth, Maggie and Hayden with two points, Shaun with three, and Steve, Joannis, Korey and Brodie are tied up with four points apiece. So who's for more time? Who is at the top of the leaderboard? Here that Brody, Corey, Joannis and Steve have four, Sean has three and everybody else has two. It's great. Two questions left. Question ninety topic is hunting. What Canadian province has the most white tailed deer entered in the Boone

and Crockett record Book. What Canadian province has the most white tailed deer entered in the Boone and Crockett record Book. I like that we have Steve and Brody an the honest at the top of the leader board. But I also like we have the the underdog here and Corey, who has never won a game of Meat Eater Trivia man play a whole terrible amount. Does he doesn't? But this this could be a real Cinderella story if he

is our this one's killing me. I got narrowed down. Well, yeah, province, tell you a couple of what Canadian province has the most white tailed deer entered in the Boone and Crockett record Book. Does everybody have an answer? Yeah, but it's not spelled right, Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers.

Saskatchewan has six hundred four white tail entries in the Boone and Crockett record Book. That's followed by Alberta with three hundred seventy seven, Manitoba with one hundred, Ontario with seventy two, British Columbia with fifty, Quebec with thirty three, New Brunswick with twenty seven, in Nova Scotia with eighteen. Saskatchewan has twice as many as

albert Muncula thought Saskatchewan thought that one. Mine thought, uh Alberta did. Really I didn't listen to him. We have question left to crown our champion. Where does the leaderboard now stand? I just faltered. Yes. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to Seth, Maggie and Hayden. They are not eligible for the win. But Stephen Ronnella Sean Weaver have four points apiece, Janice Korean Brody have five points. Wow, this could settle the whole thing. If not, we'll go

to over time. I want to go back to that species question question ten. The topic is wildlife. This last great question comes to us be a Sam Young. If you have a question you think is right from Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com. This songbird is the most common state bird in America. What is it? This songbird is the most common state bird in America? What is it? A lot on the line, Corey, how you feel about your answer? Not good? Not good? Brodie? Mm hmmm if

I can tell you? Can I put two down? I know, I know, I just don't know which of them is right. Brody's confidence is be honest. How you feeling? Oh a little bay, dude, I'm I'm changing my ship. I'm leaving what I am. Okay, I'm leaving what I have. Steve is narrated down to two choices, and he's now changing. I can't tell if I'm listening to me or getting getting foggy up there? Does everybody have an answer for all the marbles? Reveal your answers? We have Steve saying

the Western Meadow large did have. He also had the American Robin, but cross it out. Maggie Huddler saying a metal lark, Cordy saying blackbird, Brody saying Cardinal, Seth saying Chicken, Sean saying Cardinal, Joanna saying Robin, and Hayden saying finch. Now we do have a correct answer in the room. Is there gonna crown a champions? But I want to know the correct answer is Cardinal? Which makes Brody our winner. Oh god, I figured it's a pretty bird, just like

a strong sports equivalent, just a strong player. Brody even gave the room a little head start. I think you went over to on the first couple of something like that. Man, you never know looking at him, what's up Brody? Walking down the road? You would be like, there's a trivia champ. What would you think you're good at? Like this looks like a man of what sort of hobby? This guy

going out and get a beard his friend? I don't know mind due to instead though the winning is player in our regular season history is now the two champions. It makes sense, dude, it really is a meritocracy. Man. He plays a strong game. He's oldest, like you keep leaning on that one. The seven states considered the Northern Cardinal or state bird. Those states are Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. That's followed by

the Western meadow Lark with six states. A little problem. Cardinal Cardinal is good enough. It does not need to be. It does not need to be the Northern cars. You know that I wrote Western meadow Lark the wrong wrong, But you gotta appreciate the specificity. The Northern bocking bird is five states, and the American robin is three states. In the American goldfinch is three states. Brody, how does it feel? It feels pretty good? I can't. I gotta

admitt it. It feels it feels damn good. But champion, yep. I'd like to dedicate this championship to my revered Uhent Stephen inspired me to just be a greater person and competitor myself. So that's so he saw what victory looked like and he thought, I want some of that. Are you gonna let Steve? That's what I'm getting? I would I would like Steve to pict the conservation group that gets If that's the case, let's go with the let's go with the meat Eater land Access Initiative. L A

I I prove I like that. Oh we got a deal. Little something we've been cooking up is we're thinking about going on like a like a beaver trap in Marathon in the spring and and selling custom beaver hats for a huge amount of money, a peace to raise money for the land access an issue? Are you working that's

going to have? But we're thinking about like trying to like selling that you'd buy a custom be we'd catch the beaver document, the whole thing, get it sewed, and you get a custom beaver have for five hundred bucks and all that money goes to land Ax initiative. I like it, and we just pour the I keep thinking. I was tell him the guy that solds the hats. He thought it sounded insane, but I said, you wait and see. What what would it cost you to go buy a beaver hat like a nice I don't know,

a couple hundred bucks. Now, Brody, we have a plaque that's being made right now that's gonna have your name on it as the champion. We should have it by time this episode comes out very fitting that you would be the winner at the end. So it's the kind of keeps not that kind of gota turned back later. Well, we're gonna we're gonna be hanging on the wall, and the plan is right now that will have like room for five years on there, so we'll have the only demand I have as a two champion is that you

get some better markers, better markets marks. We can we can do that. Join us next time for more media trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
