Ep. 856: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCX

In this high-energy episode of MeatEater Trivia, host Spencer Newharth leads a lively 10-round quiz show featuring a rotating cast of regulars including Giannis, Brody, Randall, Max, Laura, Corey, and Nate. The game centers on four core themes—hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking—with a special focus on Turkey Week. The episode kicks off with a passionate call to action to preserve 4,000 acres of public land in North Carolina’s Tucker Town Reservoir, backed by a $200,000 matching donation from MeatEater and OnX. The trivia segment is filled with banter, friendly rivalry, and one unforgettable debate over whether 'germinate' is a true synonym for 'cultivate'—a moment that sparks a spirited, almost philosophical exchange between Randall and the team. Randall ultimately wins the game with eight correct answers, earning a $500 donation to the National Fish Habitat Partnership. The episode closes with a promotional plug for the Ultimate Turkey Giveaway from First Light, featuring over $13,000 in gear and a Texas Rio Grande turkey hunt. Throughout, the tone is celebratory, humorous, and deeply rooted in outdoor culture, with a strong emphasis on conservation and community.
