His friend Teddy makes stop motion lego videos on YouTube. Really that takes some talent and he was very excited because he hit thirty eight subscribers. Is he monetizing that yet? No, and his dad he wants a new huge lego set, but his dad won't get it to him until he hits a

You can watch all of Teddy's listen This kid's name is Teddy Roosevelt. You can watch all that that's his real name. You can watch all of his uh stop motion Lego videos. Subscribe now. Very good use of this platform was relevant, though. Are you gonna tell his dad that you just plug this? Are you just

gonna let it like happened? He's gonna be able to go to his dad and be like, Okay, I get the huge Lego set. He might want to because it's gonna go way above. What do you say a thousand? I think he said Teddy's so because like their day, I gotta call people to subscribe at dinner and he's like, Teddy's up to thirty eight. I don't let him down. I would go to dad and say, do I get a new set for every thousand? They're really good videos.

He likes. It's painstaking, Jimmy, you'll help him with it now, man, you just set it all up. Take a picture, yeah, moving around, Take a picture. He does fights and concerts and yeah, what should he invest in Phil when he gets that new set? What would be your pick? If you were getting a new Lego set right now and you were Teddy? You know what I do? When I was a kid. One thing. It's fun. You can get

it like a really clean piece of glass. And what you do is if you angle it right, you can like tape your legos to that and make him like look like you can make him fly out. Oh yeah, I got some tips. Now for the stat of the week. This week we're looking at what's the easiest and hardest category and meat Eater trivia. Steve, do you have any predictions as far as what would be the easiest category versus the hardest category? I'll tell you the stupidest category,

h um. Some of the culinary ones are such a stretch. Is that all right? I'd say that's fair, so is that? But that's my answer. The hardest, you're easiest? Stupidest? Okay, stupidest? How about hardest your easiest. I'm gonna ask Yanni if you're not gonna play along. I don't know, because I feel like ask ny because I think you told me in my stats. I think I's like, I think I do worse on I think the hunting questions is where

I failed. This is for the entire room, though for every question ever asked in the history of meat Eater Trivia. In our four verticals for our four Oh, culinary, for sure, that's the easiest, hardest, You're easiest, Oh, hardest, because it's all that stuff like what if you put vandegar on lobster. It's like stuff that no one, Uh huh. How about easiest? What do you think is the easiest category? Conservation? Any

other predictions? Easiest? Conservation? Yeah, I was gonna say conservation, hardest, hunting easiest. Here's where we have. I got these numbers by tracking total correct answers given against total questions asked in each of our four verticals. The easiest category is cooking, where players get forty players have a forty nine percent chance of getting the right answer. That's followed by conservation at forty six percent and hunting at forty five percent.

The hardest category is fishing, where players have a forty two percent chance of getting the right answer. So the easiest category cooking, hardest category fishing, But there is only a seven percent difference in player performance between the two. You know what, It does make sense because the cooking questions rarely have anything to do if hunting their fishing does. Right. Tu up, Brody, Now here's our zero percent or questions are you did you lose your status Tosa? Why are

you ran it? Well? So he compiles stats for me, does a great job. His name is Matthew. Every now and then we send him a little met Eater care package, things that you signed or things we have coming out. And then Matthew puts all these stats together for me in an Excel sheet. Some things I have to go in and manual attract other things, Uh, he just tracks for me. Now here's our zero percentage question the week, which tests how much knowledge our players have retained from

previous games. It's terrible. This was from episode three fifty seven and the topic is hunting, and nobody got this question right three fifty seven. What state has the highest population of big horn sheep? Does anybody know it? Steve? I can't remember. You weren't here that episode. Oh that's why this fresh for you. Are you ready? Colorado, no, Arizona, no, Nea? Yes, Nevada, Yanna, you were here that episode. The incorrect answers we had

given were Idaho, Montana, and Colorado. Nevada has twelve thousand big horns, which is nearly twice as many as states like Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Arizona should be easy, are terrible. I wouldn't even look into it for your sheep. They do give away the most nonresident tags in Nevada, but Yanni said, draw odds are terrible. Don't bother. We have

some housekeeping to get you. In a previous game of trivia, we had a tie breaking question about where the Secretary of the Interior falls in the line of presidential succession. As we learn that person is eighth out of eighteen in line for office. Listener leland Hart wrote in to

add some clarity on how we got there. He said that the order of presidential succession has been updated many times, with the most recent change happening in two thousand and six, and although it's assumed that the order is determined by some amount of prestige, it's actually much simpler than that. For most of the list, the order goes by the age of the department, and almost everything after the third

position reflects that. So when a new position is added to the cabinet, that position is slotted in at the end of the list. That's why the last person in order of succession is the Secretary of Homeland Security. It's the newest cabinet position. Huh, so there you go. Each time they sign goes to the something. Thank you Leland, he wrote in from Egypt, even to point that I wouldn't send him sign hat too far away. Also, in a previous game, we had a question about what food

items spoon University liken to a camp fire pannini. The answers given were hobo pies, iron pies, and pudgy pies. But about twenty listeners wrote in asking if we'd also accept the answer mountain pie, which is what many folks in the Appalachian region like to call them. Mountain pie, does seem to be synonymous with those others, So yes, said mountain pie. That would be a correct answer. You know, it's hilarious. We're working on our outdoor cookbook. We have

a big we have a hobo pie section. It's like everybody's like, oh, you talking about this a little bit, but go ahead. It's just you know, times change, and uh, if you search hobo pie, you'll get all kinds of hits of hobo piemakers. You'll get the hit, but it's not in the product description. So they're like everyone knows what they are, but no one wants to say it. So you search hobo piemaker, you'll pull up a Mountain piemaker, or you'll pull pull up Urban Dictionary or something. So

what is the new cookbook? Call them what we settle on? It was settled on iron pies, iron pies, pies, which doesn't sound that taste when he's making a pie out of a hobo. She'll be in next for this round is a three, meaning a winner. She gets six correct answers, but I'm actually predicting they'll actually get eight. With that, we're onto the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I shoulday win everything? How's

that just tend to win everything games? I got stat for you to look, Hum, how many people in the room right? How does that affect high score ties? It's a good question because if you had fifty people in here, someone's gonna get a perfect score, which is why I think today's winner could get an eight. We have some heavy hitters playing along. I want another stat. I want to know if I've ever won after getting first question wrong,

because I don't feel it. I feel like it's all over no. I mean, that's why that's why yes day I was out at the eight point thing because first question is wrong. Yeah. Question one. The topic is foraging. What state produced the most maple syrup in twenty twenty two? And this is multiple choice. Your options are Maine, Wisconsin, Vermont, or West Virginia.

Dan saying Wisconsin crossed out Vermont. Brodie sang Vermont, Tressa sang Maine, Carl saying Maine, Randall sang Vermont, Jannis saying Wisconsin. There's a right answer in the room. Well, nobody said West Virginia. West Virginia wasn't right. The correct answer was Vermont. Damn I crossed it. Though there are no trick questions. That question was should make you give the right But I thought, I think I thought Wisconsin was like a

sleeper state. Yeah. In twenty twenty two, Vermont produced two point five million gallons of maple syrup, which is half of the entire country's production. That's followed by New York at eight hundred forty five thousand gallons, Maine at six hundred seventy two thousand gallons, with Johnson at four hundred forty thousand gallons, and Michigan at one hundred and ninety

thousand gallons. If you want to learn how to tap a tree, then go to the meadeater dot com and check out Jenna Roselle's article called how to make maple syrup? Question too.

a symptom. About eighty percent of people who contract this viral disease develop a fear of water or flying as a symptom. The topic is biology. Quick answer from Brody and Steve rest of the room. No, I think Randa would have been pretty speedy about it. Randall, you got this one right, I think so. Me and Random are right. Joannis hasn't even picked up his board. My world's are quiet right now in such a weird way. I'll tell

It's estimated that eighty percent of everybody you couldn't fly, everyone like I'm not. It's estimated that about eighty percent of human rabies cases are labeled as furious rabies, which

causes hydrophobia and aerophobia. Hydrophobia is a fear of water, and aerophobia is a fear of fresh air, drafts or flying. Between two thousand and nine and twenty nineteen, there were twenty five cases of human rabies in the United States, with only two of those people surviving. Boone he had a he was campos from as one time and uh rabid wolf ran into their fire circle, and witnesses commented that it was fixated on a particular guy whoa bid

him developed rabies. They were night hunting for deer, just drifting down rivers, the pine not fires in a dugout canoe and he went berserk from hydrophobi man had to be constrained.

Had a bat in his house and grabbed the at and got scratched. And how to do the raby's treatment. That's how my world's a quiet. And those are some like big needles that come with a raby's treatment. I think she talked about that terrible question

What famous firearms writer has a museum named after him in Lewiston, Idaho? Be honest? How you feel about that answer? Um? I did the stanch approach? Is Steve Oka? Probably the exact same approach? A good chance.

I almost went with my old nickname. Oh yeah, just for fun, But I want to get one point, so I'm staying in the game. Everybody is your old nickname? Still writing? He is? Isn't he? I don't know? Yanni Van's wall? Yeah? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying O'Connor, Hayden saying Jack O'Connor, Dance saying no idea Brodie saying Jack O'Connor trusted without an answer, Carl saying Hornedy, Randall saying Connor,

Jannis saying O'Connor. They got it right. The correct answer is Jack O'Connor. The Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center opened in two thousand and six. It has the complete collection of O'Connor's books and articles, as well as some of his taxidermy photographs and guns. O'Connor is best known for being Outdoor Life's firearms editor for over three decades.

You know what the best thing about his writing was, we saw a flock of sheep, so we all started shooting him into it, and he'd be like, I got one in his room. The first took his nose off, the fourth shot, but the fifth shot really anchored him. Just goes to show what you can do with it. Two seven. He loved the two seventy. I think a lot of folks shoot at two seventy today. This person that's uh, you know, dead, that has a museum named after him. We're not being it's like read his stuff.

It's he loves that stuff. It was different times, No, because he had a very precise system for aiming distance. He developed the max point blank range system. Oh yeah, so he'd know like two seventy three hundred yards. He's good four hundred holds ex highly. Man. He used to go down into He used to go down into Snore back in the old days. Man, they'd drive down there in like a model T and ship in the twenties, shoot sheet and go and like knock on doors and yeah, yeah, yeah,

We will get a scoreboard update from Filled the engineer after this. Some quick answers in the room, some slow answers. Yannis has not come up with one yet. What ocean is the great barrier reef? In? Dan, you had the quickest answer. Do you know this one? I think I do, But I've got zero right so far,

so don't bank on me. How about you, Hayden? You were quick to draw. Yeah, I think I got it right. You know, I'm not created these geography questions, though I got it narrowed down. It's the toughest category you have forty two percent chance getting it right. You're honest, doing a lot of writing over here. You can start eliminating. Got two answers? Okay, do you mind? Do you mind reading? We can do that, Yanni? Did you pick an answer?

Is there a world happened here anywhere? Can you run a staff on whether it matters if you read the ones I crossed off? In terms of my reputation? Man, what hurt do you want us to like? Pull listeners? Does it make me seem petty and competitive? Okay, we'll get that staff. Does everybody have an answer? No? No, I gotta choose one? Which one? Spencer? No? No, Yanni, you even camped your marker. You're not not very close to even picking an answer. Oh, I'm just gonna use

my finger to cross one out. Rolled them all? He rolled down the seventh Mediterranean. All right, let's go, Trust, Are you ready go ahead and reveal your answers? We have Steve saying south Pacific, Indian definitely Pacific. Brodie sang Pacific, trust is saying Atlantic, Carl saying Pacific, Randall saying Pacific, Jannis saying south Pacific. The correct answer is the Pacific. If you said south Pacific, or Pacific. We will give

it to you. That's bullshit. The Great Barrier Reef is in the Coral Sea, which is located off the northeastern coast of Australia in the Pacific Ocean. It's the world's largest coral reef system, spanning across one hundred thirty three thousand square miles. It's home to over seventeen hundred types of fish, sharks, raids, dolphins, and whales. Right south specific you should conclude that in the end of them, Phil,

we are America. For if you had a continent question, Yeah, what if what if someone said you know, where's this and what state is this in and you said eastern Montana? Yeah, exactly, good point, Randall. Let's get a world map out and see if it says south Pacific. Just says specific. No, no, no, I'm telling you what is the leader board? After five questions, Dan and Trussa are still scrapping to get on that board. They've got zero points. Uh, Janis Putellis has two points.

Stephen Ronella has three points, as do Hayden and Carl and then tied for first place of four points are Randall and Brody. Seems familiar still a game man nipping at the hea. Question six. The topic is deer camp. Name one name one of the three states with the most Meat Eater podcast listeners. Full shit. Now, before Steve or Dan get concerned, I cleared this question with the suits here Meat Eater to make sure I wasn't giving away any classified information. They said it was a fine

question to ask, and here it is. Name one of the three states with the most Meat Eater podcast listeners. Steve, you're gonna get this one right. I got a good chance getting right. Okay, if you said the state, that'd be tough. One of the three be honest without an answer, and you can't list two hoping that one of them is right. One, You're gonna get it wrong. Randall, you've had the shortest lifespan here meat Eater. How do you think your chances are on this question? Yeah, I don't

think I have any access to this data. One fifty if I write down four, if you email where you email the data person, he would have just emailed you the answer. So it's not like I didn't know that foresight. Poor Carl, I know this is not an access. It's not an access, it's a lack of curiosity, you can do. Poor Carl doesn't even work at Meat Eater, he works at FHF. But you you handle the customer service cost. So maybe that gives you the greatest advantage in the room.

That's that's a good point. I don't know if it gives me that big of an advantage, but I'm hoping that my answers right. I literally look at these metrics daily and I don't know the answer. Does everybody have an answer? One of the three states with the meats podcast listeners, it's not per capitals the most interesting. Are you ready, Carl, yep, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Texas, Hayden sang New York and

saying Minnesota, Brodie saying Texas. Tressa is saying Wisconsin, Carl saying Pennsylvania, Randall saying Pennsylvania, Jannis saying California. We have some correct answers in the room. The three states are Texas, California, and Michigan. Damn it, damn it's nice a year to see your home state up in there. So me and Randler neck and neck. Texas has the most meat Eater

podcast listeners and that's followed by California, Michigan, Washington, and Colorado. Similarly, the cities with the most listeners are Denver, Seattle, Minneapolis, Dallas, and Chicago macam forty five. On YouTube question seven, the topic is cooking. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Shelby Acker for sending this great question. Shelby is going to get a book signed by Steve. That's not your wife is now sometimes referred to as

the butcher's tender loin. This steak dangles from an animal's diaphragm. Steve thinks it's a race. If it was, he did win quick answer from Steve Brodie Randall again the question sometimes referred to as the butcher's tender loin. This steak dangles from an animal's diaphragm. Steve, you know this one? Oh not no idea? Oh Spencer, thank you for that, man. Yeah, that was That was the funniest thing I've heard today. What sure your joke just now that Steve is still

laughing at Oh the race? Okay, yeah, I thought this question had again looking for the name of the steak that's sometimes called the butcher's tender loin. It is good too. Man. I used to cook a pile of them down there. Ye man, Oh, come on it. How do you know Randall wasn't like that's like his favorite rest. Janni was Montani was flipping those things back before he became Yanni. Van's wall oh, sometimes referred to is the butcher's tender loin.

This steak dangles from an animal's diaphragm. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying hanger, Hayden sang hanger, crossed out skirt Dance saying brisket, Brodie sang hanger, Tressa sang filet, Carl sang skirt, Randall sang hanger, Jannis sang hanger. The correct answer is hanger steak. We'd also accept butcher steak or bistro steak.

Man Uh. A friend of mine owns North Bridger bison, and the other day, you know, he does cost them like he'd buy one, like he just goes out and shoots it, and the goals of the slaughter plant and then you get it. And I was out there and he shot one, and he gave me the hanger steak off that thing like how big is it off of bison? Oh? Sizeable? Man. We made well so for six of us at dinner. We did for jitas with it and had a little leftovers.

It's good, very nice. I used to package all their bison. Yeah, in Manhattan. Yep, I worked out there for a while. He's a good dude. Yeah. You're gonna see us at the North Bridger Bison Ranch pretty soon. Here on YouTube where we butcher a bison using Clovis tools. Now, the butcher's tender loin nickname comes from butcher's setting the steak assigned for themselves because customers found it too unattractive to purchase.

It is not the same as the flat iron steak, flank steak, or skirt steak, or can be cooked in a similar way. If you want to learn how to prepare one, then go to the meat eator dot com and check out Danielle Pruett's recipe for venison steak sandwiches. Question Nate. The topic is conservation. The Three Mile Island incident, which is considered America's worst nuclear power plant accident, occurred

in nineteen seventy nine in what State. The Three Mile Island incident, which is considered America's worst nuclear power plant accident, occurred in nineteen seventy nine in what state? Quick answer from Brody and Steve and Randall, be honest. Were you alive in nineteen seventy nine? Yes? How many years old? Were you? One? Okay? Here? How are you doing? A Mile Island incident? I watched like an hour and a half documentary on this, not six months ago. I can't

remember the state. There's like an emerging pattern with Hayden where he explains his proximity to the answer Steve. Steve declared Hayden an emerging threat in December, but he is yet to actually now. Then I redeclare on the waiting thread. Okay again. The three Mile Island incident, which is considered America's worst nuclear power plant accident, occurred in nineteen seventy nine in what state? Steve, do you have this right? I keep vacillating between two answers. Does everybody else have

an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying New Jersey, Hayden saying Pennsylvania, Dan saying Pennsylvania, Brody saying Pennsylvania. Trusted Without an answer, Carl Randall saying Pennsylvania, Jannis saying New York. The correct answer is Pennsylvania. Ou't no, damn it. It's like ten miles down the road. Because I watched that documentary six months ago. Well what kind of islands they got, Hayden? What state were you born in? Island?

That was why? That was Carlo carl Is hinting at him. On the seven point international nuclear event scale, the accident was labeled a five. It took fourteen years to clean up and cost one billion dollars. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission denied that the accident had any effect on wildlife, but locals reported an increase in animal mutations, still bursts, mass deaths, and in one case, a glowing fish. Have they not built another nuclear power plant of that ilk? Since I

don't know about that. It's set into motion though a lot of things to prevent it from ever happening again. Do you have any uh recollection of that event? Brody? I remember vaguely, like seeing it on the news, But um, I think that's a lot of the Simpsons stuff is based on that. Mmm. They've asked them before, which Springfield is, uh is the Simpson set in They've always denied the answer, Um, but I think they narrowed it down to like Kentucky

was maybe like the the springfield. But but I mean, you know there's a three eyed fish and it and like he works at a nuclear plant, exactly, Phil. We have two questions left? Where do we stand? Tressa. Dan Janis and Carl are no longer in the running. Stephen Hayden are hanging on by their fingernails with five points apiece. Randall has six points in Brody is in first place with seven points. Two questions left, Question nine. The topic

is hunting. The seeds of this plant, which is the Illinois State wild flower, are often used by deer hunters as wind indicators. The seeds of this plant, which is the Illinois State wild flower, are often used by deer hunters as wind indicators. It's right, and that means you can't catch them. A very confident room except for Randall might do my math right, he can't be caught. We've got two left time down one but Randall, may I mean yes, oh yes, very confident room. Dan. You know

this one. I know this one. I have them in my bino harness right now. Maybe Carl helped Dan cut the chit chat again. The seeds of this plant, we'll get to that, which is the Illinois state wild flower, are often used by deer hunters as wind indicators. Randall, do you have an answer or windicators? Windicators? Yeah, it's not a good one. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying milkweed, milkweed, milkweed, milkweed, trasted without an answer, Carl without an answer, Randall saying cottonwood is saying milkweed. The correct answer is milkweed. By Wins does brody indeed win Phil He can't be caught yet. Damn it. What a lackluster ending. In twenty seventeen, Illinois became the first state to list the milkweed as its state wildflower. The flower comes in various vibrant colors and produces silky

seeds in late summer and early fall. Bow hunters like to pick those pods, then release the seeds from their tree stand to watch them float on air. Streams follows. You out have gotten into the monarch butterflies a little bit there, That's right, very important for pollinators. Not many states have a state wildflower. Good on Illinois for picking one now it's not I mean, has to do with pollinators, but it's the only source of food for hillars, the

only thing they eat. Work on your research a little bit. Uh well, I wanted to tie it into hunting more than monarchs. You give us one more scoreboard update before we do the final question. Sure thing, Yeah, give you the top few. Janis has five points, Steve, Randall and Hayden all have six points, and Brodys two points ahead with eight. Oh Man, just authoritative lead question ten. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to is

via Andrew Walker. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia to meat eater dot com. In Ernest Hemingways, the old man in the sea, what fish does Santiago battle with before losing it to sharks? Here's how specific I need you to be. You don't have to name the species. You can just tell me the family. Oh come on, ye bullshit? In Ernest Hemingways, the old man in the sea, What fish does Santiago battle with before

losing it to sharks? Seth feels here he'd be like, it's gotta be a walleye. Quick answers from the room. Seems as though folks have read this book looking for the fish that Santiago battles with, just to keep make sure my average day is good. What do you change in their room? I'm not changing anything again. You don't have to go to species. You can just write the family. Does everybody have an answer? Who's going to come up with an answer? You honest, go ahead and reveal your answers.

Steve saying Marlin, Hayden saying Marlin, Dan without an answer, Brody saying blue Marlin. No, no, no, no, no no no. He does that, say circle bill bill fish, blue Marlin, Trau, Carl without an answer, Randall saying sailfish. Janie saying Marlin. The correct answer is marlin. I think you gave too much information there. Take that Marlin is a member of the billfish family. But that's not that's not literally it's not to the family level. Because I looked this up.

The family may be wrong. I still want now most folks assume I do want to quit. Here's here's why I didn't want to go to blue Marlin. He never writes blue Marlin, but everyone assumes because of the size and Hemmingway like blue marlins, that it was going to be a blue marlin.
