Speaker 1: Podcast. Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the only game show
Speaker 1: where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and
Speaker 1: today we're joined by Steven Rinella, Ryan Callahan, Paul Lewis,
Speaker 1: Rick Hotton, Brody Henderson, Crin Schneider, Corey Culkins, and Sandy Fraser. Sandy,
Speaker 1: this is your first time playing Meat Eater Trivia. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about your chances?
Speaker 2: I think they're poor.
Speaker 1: Okay, now I don't think they're.
Speaker 3: He's I think he's gonna I think he's a contender.
Speaker 1: Brody was hyping him up in the break room saying
Speaker 1: he thinks he's got a real shot. Steve, you've had
Speaker 1: a chance to uh suss out Sandy's trivia abilities and
Speaker 1: the regular show. How do you think he's gonna do?
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna do well because he's uh. His
Speaker 3: books are all written under the name Ian Fraser, and
Speaker 3: because he does very uh. He's done a lot of
Speaker 3: magazine report in a lot of books which have brought
Speaker 3: him all around the country. And he's a lifelong fisherman,
Speaker 3: and I think he's had If he doesn't win, it's
Speaker 3: his own fault. Well rounded, because I think that to
Speaker 3: have been as many places and processed as much information.
Speaker 3: If you don't win it because you weren't paying attention
Speaker 3: or remembering well.
Speaker 1: And Steve has a hypothesis that age he's a factor
Speaker 1: in playing trivia. Sandy, you're the oldest one in the room.
Speaker 1: That she give you an upper hand.
Speaker 2: That shows how much you know about age.
Speaker 4: We had an eighty year old guy get his ass kicked.
Speaker 3: Okay, it drops off.
Speaker 5: We're learning.
Speaker 2: I'm seventy two.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see how we're learning. Where the bell curve
Speaker 1: is right now? Okay, you're going to help us with
Speaker 1: some more data, because.
Speaker 3: Brody, how old are you brought You're at top of
Speaker 3: your game right now?
Speaker 1: Forty one?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, plus a decade or so.
Speaker 1: Now if you're not familiar, this is a ten round
Speaker 1: quiz show with questions from meat Eater's four verticals, which
Speaker 1: are fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize.
Speaker 1: Meat Eater will donate five hundred dollars to the conservation
Speaker 1: organization of the winner's choosing. And each week here on
Speaker 1: Trivia we reveal a new stat This week, we're looking
Speaker 1: at meat Eater employee performance tracked against Meat Eater guest
Speaker 1: performance on questions where I throw them a bone. Now, Sandy,
Speaker 1: if they didn't warn you, while we're playing trivia, there
Speaker 1: will be one question that is firmly in your wheelhouse
Speaker 1: that you will have an advantage at. I think you'll
Speaker 1: recognize when that question comes up. Okay, this statistic is
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: And we had a stat that shows that those the
Speaker 3: bones work.
Speaker 1: As we learned on a previous show, our guests have
Speaker 1: an eighty nine percent chance of getting the correct answer
Speaker 1: on questions where I throw them a bone. On those
Speaker 1: same questions, the rest of the players have a forty
Speaker 1: two percent chance of getting the right answer, which is
Speaker 1: a forty seven percent increase for our guests. So, Sandy,
Speaker 1: when we get to the question today where I throw
Speaker 1: you a bone, the odds of you getting it right
Speaker 1: are twice as good good as the other players in
Speaker 1: the room.
Speaker 2: Okay, and I just write the answer. I don't just
Speaker 2: shout it out.
Speaker 1: That's why you'll just write your answer down, keep it
Speaker 1: hidden from Rick's kind of sly you might cheat off
Speaker 1: you there all right. Now, here's our zero percenter question
Speaker 1: the week, which tests how much our players have retained
Speaker 1: from previous games.
Speaker 3: This was from confused, what's up? Didn't you already do
Speaker 3: that stat?
Speaker 1: No, but before we looked at, uh, how our guests
Speaker 1: perform on the nine questions where they're not throwing a
Speaker 1: bone versus the one question where they are throwing a bone. Now,
Speaker 1: we were looking at how our guest performs on the
Speaker 1: question where they're throwing a bone versus the meat eatter
Speaker 1: employees on that.
Speaker 3: Que they're twice is likely to get the bone as likely.
Speaker 1: That's right. Now, here's our zero percenter question the week,
Speaker 1: which tests how much our players have retained from previous games.
Speaker 1: This was from episode three seventy two and the topic
Speaker 1: is conservation. Three thousand of what New York City icons
Speaker 1: were dumped in the Atlantic Ocean from two thousand and
Speaker 1: one to twenty ten in an effort to create artificial reefs. Now,
Speaker 1: Steve will let you take the first stab atis, I'll
Speaker 1: read you the question again. Three thousand of what New
Speaker 1: York City icons were dumped in the Atlantic Ocean from
Speaker 1: two thousand and one to twenty ten in an effort
Speaker 1: to create artificial reefs. Do you know the answer.
Speaker 3: It's gotta be subway cars.
Speaker 1: That's right, well done. You would have been the only
Speaker 1: one that day who got that question out.
Speaker 3: I probably have won the whole damn thing.
Speaker 1: The incorrect answers given were taxis, statues and parking meters.
Speaker 1: That subway car project was a success. They are now
Speaker 1: a flourishing habitat for all sorts of sea life.
Speaker 3: So you could have thrown that as a bone to
Speaker 3: him and he would have.
Speaker 2: Gotten that, you think, so I wouldn't have gotten that.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, maybe you'd have had a chance to educate
Speaker 1: a guess. And for the housekeeping portion of today's show,
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it to Paul and Rick, who
Speaker 1: have an exciting update from FHF. Paul, take it away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we just are launching our fob binoharness. This is
Speaker 6: something that's been two years in the making and something
Speaker 6: we've put a lot into, took a lot of feedback
Speaker 6: from customers, had a lot of testing over the years,
Speaker 6: and really feel like we've come up with really the
Speaker 6: best buyo harness on the market.
Speaker 1: Came out yesterday, right, came out yesterday.
Speaker 6: Oh and it is available now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, because we're.
Speaker 1: In the future, Steve, you and Calve had a chance
Speaker 1: to run this thing a bit. What do you like
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: I've got to use it for a long time. Even
Speaker 3: other per is that yeah? Other permutations?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, early ones.
Speaker 3: No, it's great. Yeah. I think it's a great advancement,
Speaker 3: a great step up. It's a big day for binos.
Speaker 3: I love the thing. It's got a magnet on the front.
Speaker 1: What changed from like some early versions to what we
Speaker 1: now have available that came out yesterday.
Speaker 3: Because it's just like a very simple magnet system and
Speaker 3: you can just take your thumb without even looking and go,
Speaker 3: that's the noise it makes.
Speaker 1: Those seould make that noise, Rick, is that what noise
Speaker 1: it makes?
Speaker 3: And now it's no, it's just like very silent, very quick.
Speaker 3: It's got better coverage. Yeah, I don't want to sell
Speaker 3: it over the old one because the olde was but
Speaker 3: it's got more thorough coverage, a really good magnet system,
Speaker 3: no exposure on the sides to get to it, and
Speaker 3: it's just more comfortable. Well, Steve's got a way better.
Speaker 7: Steve's describing what we set off to accomplishing that. We
Speaker 7: wanted to make a fully enclosed harness offer that better protection.
Speaker 7: But to Steve's point, we wanted to be the quietest
Speaker 7: magnetic closure harness on the market, especially for you white
Speaker 7: tail guys, Spencer, because we didn't want any loud pops
Speaker 7: or clicks or anything associated with that magnet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's good if you're sitting in a tree stand,
Speaker 1: if you're chasing elk, if you're a bird watcher, anybody, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just base of any sportsman's kit. So and that
Speaker 7: that fob. We're real excited. As Paul said, it's been
Speaker 7: a long project coming and we took feedback from all
Speaker 7: of our testers and stuff, and Cal also got to
Speaker 7: run one and we're.
Speaker 5: Part of the system. Once you get that all broken
Speaker 5: in and it fits your shoulders and is you know
Speaker 5: your general fits been achieved, you can pop that off
Speaker 5: and it's compatible with the chest rig and the uht
Speaker 5: A resistant chest rig, so you can have different kits
Speaker 5: and use that same shoulder strap system.
Speaker 3: And it's got this little wing deal on these little onside,
Speaker 3: so you put your range finder. It's got like a
Speaker 3: little panel that hooks on the side that that goes
Speaker 3: on and it doesn't flop around or twist on you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The goals kind of make it as modular as possible,
Speaker 6: so people can really set it up and make it
Speaker 6: their own, so no matter the season, the pursuit, whatever
Speaker 6: they're doing, they can really just make it their own
Speaker 6: and customize it endlessly.
Speaker 1: Available right now at FHF gear dot com. Now the
Speaker 1: Shelby Index for today's show is a three, so our
Speaker 1: winner should get six correct answers, and with that we're
Speaker 1: onto the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil, Look,
Speaker 1: I need to know what I stand to win everything?
Speaker 3: How's that just tend to win everything?
Speaker 7: Suckers?
Speaker 1: Question one? The topic is hunting and this will be
Speaker 1: multiple choice. This first great question comes to us via
Speaker 1: Charlie Cushion Ruder. If you have a question you think
Speaker 1: is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it
Speaker 1: to trivia at the meadeater dot com. According to the NWTF,
Speaker 1: what state harvest the most turkeys each year? Is it Wisconsin, Texas, California,
Speaker 1: or Tennessee. According to the NWTF, what state harvest the
Speaker 1: most turkeys each year? Wisconsin, Texas, California, or Tennessee. Steve

Speaker 1: How many of these states have you hunted turkeys? In? Wisconsin, Texas, California, Tennessee?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 1: Three of them? Give you a little insight over the
Speaker 1: rest of the room.
Speaker 3: What's all that you happened about?
Speaker 1: My apology? We'll play in silence. Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 1: Choices are Wisconsin, Texas, California, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm really torn, dude, great first question that way?
Speaker 1: Oh thank you? This was via Charlie.
Speaker 3: I'm bad torn. What are you going with? Cal?
Speaker 5: I'm going with one of the options the Yeah, I
Speaker 5: know you don't like the side manter, but you know,
Speaker 5: it's like one of those states you can shoot whatever
Speaker 5: you want and there's no like solid reporting ethos.
Speaker 7: So, oh, are you going the reported unreported?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Are we going known? Turkey? Harve us?
Speaker 1: Now, Sandy, I saw you crack a smile when we
Speaker 1: played the intro music for trivia. Did you like the
Speaker 1: show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Speaker 2: I did like this show? Yeah, I mean is that
Speaker 2: what that's from?
Speaker 1: That's what that's from?
Speaker 2: Okay, and they let you use it and everything.
Speaker 1: Sure, ask too many questions. I asked the questions around here.
Speaker 1: Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1: We have Steve saying Wisconsin, Sandy saying Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: Cordy sang Texas, Karin sang Tennessee, count sang Tennessee, Paul
Speaker 1: saying Texas.
Speaker 5: How many birds can you legally kill in Wisconsin? Per person?
Speaker 3: Pens out late? You want to hunt? You know you
Speaker 3: buy tag every day if you stay around to the
Speaker 3: e season.
Speaker 1: Oh no, shit, The correct answer is Tennessee. According to
Speaker 1: the NWTFS twenty twenty three report, Tennessee on average harvest
Speaker 1: fifty thousand turkeys each year. That's followed by Wisconsin at
Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand, Missouri at thirty five thousand, Kentucky at
Speaker 1: thirty thousand, and Alabama and Texas at twenty five thousand.
Speaker 1: Not surprisingly, some of these state made Dylan Tramp's list
Speaker 1: for the best states for d i Y turkey hunting,
Speaker 1: which you can read on the Meat eater dot com. Steve,
Speaker 1: why were you convinced it was not Tennessee?
Speaker 3: I don't know, question gars reading about how many turks
Speaker 3: they shoot in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Now you'll just you can't like you can just.
Speaker 5: Keep buying tags there right like at a certain point.
Speaker 1: And is Tennessee one of the states where you have
Speaker 1: to quit it? One PM?
Speaker 5: I think cals is that expert I don't think. I
Speaker 5: don't think that's the case.
Speaker 3: You know why, I don't really care because Brody got
Speaker 3: it wrong.
Speaker 1: Okay, good for Steve, Good for Brody. Question two, the
Speaker 1: topic is fishing. One year before Fred Arbagast invented the
Speaker 1: hula popper, he patented this top water lure that's famous
Speaker 1: for its double cupped lip and gurgling sounds. Again, one
Speaker 1: year before Fred Arbagast invented the hula popper, he patented
Speaker 1: this top water lure that's famous for its double cupped
Speaker 1: lip and gurgling sounds.
Speaker 5: And you have to know the name.
Speaker 1: You need to know the name the exactly what what
Speaker 1: do you think would be an acceptable answer? If not
Speaker 1: knowing the name? Cal? Were you gonna draw it?
Speaker 7: Could we draw it?
Speaker 1: You can't draw it? You now draw it? Quick answer
Speaker 1: from Brody. Brody, do you know this one?
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure?
Speaker 1: Okay, Steve also with a quick answer, you got this one?
Speaker 4: Large, shut up Brown, because Cal like processes a lot
Speaker 4: of ships, said something, and that's how he probably got Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, it's all the small talk he's like. He
Speaker 3: probably went.
Speaker 1: One year before Fred Arbagast invented the hula popper. He
Speaker 1: patented this top water lure that's famous for its double
Speaker 1: cupped lip and gurgling sounds. U F HF boys, do
Speaker 1: you have some fishing chops? Are you gonna get this one?
Speaker 7: Spencer? I could see it. I can think of the name,
Speaker 7: which is why I asked to draw it.
Speaker 1: But zero Paul with a blank board.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my terminal tackle knowledge is extremely limited. Uh huh,
Speaker 5: so I truly don't have a clue.
Speaker 1: Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No, it is everybody who's going to come up with
Speaker 1: an answer have an answer. Come on, let's just get out.
Speaker 1: I just do it because it Go ahead and reveal
Speaker 1: your answers. We have Steve saying jitterbug. Sandy sang jitterbug,
Speaker 1: Rick without an answer, Brody saying jitterbug, Cory sang Angie
Speaker 1: Jolie popper, Karinn without an answer, Or what does your
Speaker 1: board say? Krinn without an answer? Cal sang pencil popper,
Speaker 1: Paul without an answer. The correct answer is jitterbug, damn it.
Speaker 1: The original jitterbug patent was granted in nineteen forty. The
Speaker 1: first versions were made of wood, but switched to plastic
Speaker 1: manufacturing near the end of World War two. Our bigast
Speaker 1: created some of the most iconic bass lures in the world,
Speaker 1: including the jitterbug, hula popper, Tim Liz Hawaiian wiggler, and
Speaker 1: the rubber skirt that's used on spinner baits.
Speaker 3: You got time for a quick story?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What he got now? Brody was hot with a
Speaker 1: hint there about the nighttime fishing. This is like the
Speaker 1: lure of nighttime bass anglers. That was quite helpful, Brody.
Speaker 3: My brother Danny was standing on the dock when we
Speaker 3: were kids and he threw out a jitterbug at night
Speaker 3: and we were always blown away. So he caught a
Speaker 3: big old bullhead on it.
Speaker 1: Whoay love that.
Speaker 3: Biggle bullhead came up with a jitterbug.
Speaker 1: That's fun. Question three the topic is conservation. What Great
Speaker 1: Lake City created an ecological disaster in nineteen eighty six
Speaker 1: when they released one point five million balloons in an
Speaker 1: attempt to set a world record?
Speaker 5: Gross?
Speaker 1: What Great Lake City created an ecological disaster in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty six when they released one point five million balloons
Speaker 1: in an attempt to set a world record. I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody in the room has come up with an
Speaker 1: answer yet.
Speaker 5: Let's see, I was four the Redskins had recently Super
Speaker 5: Bowl walking this back. The Bobcats here in town had
Speaker 5: a national championship under their belt.
Speaker 1: Cal, you come a long way from the Great Lakes region.
Speaker 1: The rest of these folks they should whoop be on
Speaker 1: this question, but it seems like they're not going. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of cities on the Great Lakes man, That's
Speaker 1: why it's a good question, Brody Toppys conservation. What Great
Speaker 1: Lakes City created an ecological disaster in nineteen eighty six
Speaker 1: when they released one point five million balloons in an
Speaker 1: attempt to set a world record? Steve, you don't seem confident?
Speaker 3: No, no, man, Okay, just a guess.
Speaker 1: Does anybody feel like they have a like, a better
Speaker 1: than average chance at this?
Speaker 5: I figured I feel like I can narrow it down
Speaker 5: to the state based off of what I perceived their
Speaker 5: ecological ethos being today.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 3: That would have been a better question, probably in hindsight,
Speaker 3: would have been what state.
Speaker 1: Going with city? Cal you need to send me one.
Speaker 3: Of your zero your future zero question.
Speaker 1: See we'll see. Does everybody have an answer? Corinn Sandy,
Speaker 1: do you have an answer?
Speaker 2: Not really, but I would guess Toledo.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve Sang Chicago,
Speaker 1: Sandy Sang Toledo, Rick Sang Chicago, Brody Sang Chicago, Cory
Speaker 1: Sang Chicago, Corinn Sang Chicago. What's that say? Cal?
Speaker 5: Nothing? I was starting to write and then you started
Speaker 5: reading things off, and I don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 1: Good on cal Paul saying Green Bay. Nobody got it.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 5: That's literally the only thing that popped in my head.
Speaker 5: Oh no, but I was like, is the Cuyahoga River
Speaker 5: because didn't kaya Ohoga burn or something?
Speaker 1: But that was way before then.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but you know, you're just using it as
Speaker 5: a yeah, as a barometer.
Speaker 1: That stunt was part of Balloonfest eighty six. Organizers stopped
Speaker 1: the balloons would ascend into the atmosphere, fully deflate, and
Speaker 1: then return to Earth Instead. What happened is the balloons
Speaker 1: encountered a cold front, which kept them close to the ground.
Speaker 1: The fully inflated balloons spread across the city and Lake Erie,
Speaker 1: shutting down roads and airports. The worst consequence of all
Speaker 1: was that two fishermen were reported missing that day and
Speaker 1: The Coastguard said they couldn't find them because of the balloons,
Speaker 1: making it impossible to scan the lake. One pilot who
Speaker 1: searched for the men described flying through the balloons like
Speaker 1: traveling through an asteroid belt. Their bodies washed ashore a
Speaker 1: few days later. Now, Sandy, that was the bone I
Speaker 1: was throwing you because you grew up near Cleveland. It
Speaker 1: would have been thirty five years old when that happened.
Speaker 1: Do you not recall anything about Balloonfest eighty six?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I was in the country in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty Where what have you been? I don't know. I
Speaker 2: have no idea. How did I miss that? I have
Speaker 2: no idea.
Speaker 1: This was the bone I was throwing.
Speaker 2: A guest in that guessed I would have guessed Cleveland
Speaker 2: just one general principles. I mean, the river caught on fire.
Speaker 5: So well, did you did you get? Did they get
Speaker 5: the world record?
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. They got the world record, but
Speaker 1: then Guinness took away following that event, any world records
Speaker 1: that could potentially create an ecological disaster, like most balloons
Speaker 1: released at one time, good for them. Cleveland changed the
Speaker 1: world record system forever.
Speaker 3: A bit of feedback on the tidbit h you named
Speaker 3: out you illustrated how it was a civil disaster, the
Speaker 3: closing of airports, uh huh, search and rescue complications, but
Speaker 3: you didn't lay out how.
Speaker 1: It was an ecological well, litter just everywhere.
Speaker 3: We didn't get into that.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's implied one point five million balloons
Speaker 1: littering Lake Erie and the Great State of Ohio.
Speaker 3: I spelt it didn't really.
Speaker 1: Question four the topic is cooking. This Cuban dish, which
Speaker 1: translates to hash in English, is a fragrant stew that
Speaker 1: includes ground meat, olives, and raisins. This Cuban dish, which
Speaker 1: translates to hash in English, is a fragrant stew that
Speaker 1: includes ground meat, olives, and raisins. Nobody in the room
Speaker 1: has come up with an answer yet, back to back
Speaker 1: tough questions.
Speaker 3: Is Shelby got three on this?
Speaker 1: We're only on question four.
Speaker 5: Cuban dish.
Speaker 1: Cuban dish translates to hash in English is a fragrant
Speaker 1: stew that includes ground meat, olives, and raisins. Rick with
Speaker 1: the only one to come up with an answer. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about your answer? Rick?
Speaker 5: Very poor?
Speaker 1: Okay may have a zero percenter here back to back
Speaker 1: something out there. So, as we learned on a previous show,
Speaker 1: the odds of zero percent are happening are seven percent,
Speaker 1: And now we have back to back seven percent questions,
Speaker 1: which seems like nobody's going to get the right answer.
Speaker 1: Give me a little more time, Kuran, how deep is
Speaker 1: your knowledge of Cuban food?
Speaker 5: Sadly not not too deep?
Speaker 1: Brody, any chance you get this one right?
Speaker 5: No, God, who's having fun?
Speaker 1: A tough batch of questions? Is everybody who's gonna come
Speaker 1: up with an answer have an answer?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Essentially, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve
Speaker 1: saying cubano sandy without an answer, Rick sang Bao, pig stew,
Speaker 1: Rody sang Mixo, Corey sang fiddle pie, Karin without an answer,
Speaker 1: feedel pie, cal sang mohido answer yeah, delicious.
Speaker 5: Nobody got it right.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is pikadio. Oh really. Meat Eater contributor
Speaker 1: Justin Townsend described pikado as souped up, sloppy joe meat
Speaker 1: that's full of robust flavors. He said, the dishes taste
Speaker 1: will surprise you if you don't often eat authentic Latin
Speaker 1: American food. You can find his version of the recipe
Speaker 1: called venison Pikadio on the meadeater dot com. Steve, does
Speaker 1: that ring a bell now that you've heard it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Man, No, you've heard the word, but I will never anybody.
Speaker 1: Is anybody eat in pikadio? Bad question? That's on me.
Speaker 1: I'll take responsibility for that being a poor question. Question
Speaker 1: five topic is wildlife. This is our listener question in
Speaker 1: the week, which was won by Jeremy Jackson for setting
Speaker 1: this great question. Jeremy is going to get a book
Speaker 1: signed by Steve. A new species of ancient beaver was
Speaker 1: discovered in twenty twenty three, which researchers named after this
Speaker 1: southern gas station with a beaver mascot. A new species
Speaker 1: of ancient beaver was discovered in twenty twenty three, which
Speaker 1: researchers named after this southern gas station with a beaver mascot.
Speaker 1: Brody with a quick answer, Brody, do you have this
Speaker 1: one right? I'm not talking? Okay, this is this is
Speaker 1: a weakness for the Meat Eatter Trivia crew. We have
Speaker 1: folks from the West, the Midwest, the northeast, nobody from
Speaker 1: the South, though our southern listeners are going to be
Speaker 1: screaming at their radios right now when nobody has the
Speaker 1: right answer.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking. Okay, because there
Speaker 5: are something let's cut.
Speaker 3: Let's cut the chit chat. See that was revealing that
Speaker 3: verified that I have the right answer. Do you think no?
Speaker 3: I know? No, I know.
Speaker 1: No again. A new species much less discovered in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, which researchers named after this Southern gas station
Speaker 1: with a beaver mascot chit.
Speaker 5: Chats two destining experience of dead silence in between the
Speaker 5: questions on this one, I think, uh like a little
Speaker 5: chit chats in order. Yeah, in this episode?
Speaker 1: Do you think you have a chance of getting this
Speaker 1: one right?
Speaker 5: Cal, I don't think I have the correct name.
Speaker 8: No, yeah, I don't, Spencer, I mean, let's let's go.
Speaker 8: I was just gonna quickly ask whether you've got a
Speaker 8: stat you can pull off just the top of your
Speaker 8: head of whether we've had two zero percenters in a row,
Speaker 8: which we had just had.
Speaker 1: I know, we ever had three, We've had it once,
Speaker 1: We've never had three.
Speaker 5: I hate to say this five minute intro to this
Speaker 5: episode that was nothing but statistics. I lost attention immediately.
Speaker 1: Does everybody who's going to come up with an answer
Speaker 1: have an answer? Yes, let's go. Corey, go ahead and
Speaker 1: reveal your answers. We have Steve sang BUCkies, Sandy without
Speaker 1: an answer, Rick sang Rudders, Brody sang BUCkies, Corey sang
Speaker 1: Sinclair beaver antiques, Karen sang giant beaver, Cal sang BUCkies,
Speaker 1: Paul saying what's that? Say Paul? Yeah, the correct answer
Speaker 1: is BUCkies.
Speaker 5: I think I think it's spelled. I think Brodie spelled spells.
Speaker 1: Nobody spelled the right. It's b u c dash ee apostrophe.
Speaker 5: Es oh ouch.
Speaker 1: This beaver was discovered in a fossil collection at the
Speaker 1: University of Texas. The new species was about thirty percent
Speaker 1: bigger than our modern North American beaver and lived along
Speaker 1: the Gulf Coast fifteen million years ago. The researcher was
Speaker 1: inspired to name the beaver after BUCkies, who holds the
Speaker 1: world record for largest convenience store and longest car wash
Speaker 1: cal How did you like your BUCkies experience when you
Speaker 1: were there? Would you like one in Bozeman?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: I would not not at all. I mean our town pumps,
Speaker 5: are you know, like a third of the size of
Speaker 5: a Bucky's. I mean, they're amazing for only for the
Speaker 5: fact of like a giant monument to American consumerism. Like
Speaker 5: it's as disgusting as it is impressive.
Speaker 1: Fail. We are halfway through our game of trivia. Give
Speaker 1: us a scoreboard update, which I think is going to
Speaker 1: be kind of said.
Speaker 5: It's pretty desolate.
Speaker 8: We've got Corey, Paul and Rick with zero points still
Speaker 8: halfway through the game. Sandy and Corinne each have one
Speaker 8: point apiece and Steve callim Brody are tied up in
Speaker 8: a very soft first place two points.
Speaker 3: Anybody's Game.
Speaker 1: Question six. The topic is conservation. This Animal Planet show
Speaker 1: with an alliterative name followed the Sea shepherds as they
Speaker 1: attempted to stop Japanese whalers. This Animal Planet show with
Speaker 1: an alliterative name followed the sea shepherds as they attempted
Speaker 1: to stop Japanese whalers. Quick answer from Steve and Rick, Rick,
Speaker 1: do you have this one right? Maybe this one.
Speaker 5: Animal Planet show? Cow?
Speaker 3: Just think yourself, it's like, holy cow.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't watch a lot of TV. I'm trying
Speaker 5: to think it through.
Speaker 1: Here's the question again, cal This Animal Planet show with
Speaker 1: an alliterative name followed the sea shepherds as they attempted
Speaker 1: to stop Japanese whalers. Steve thinks he's going to take
Speaker 1: the lead here. Brody does not look confident in hiding
Speaker 1: his face with the whiteboard.
Speaker 5: Let's give me one more minute.
Speaker 1: Stephen, Rick may be the only ones who get this?
Speaker 1: Or Corey? Do you know it? Okay?
Speaker 3: I could just be playing coy.
Speaker 7: Steve's way more confident than me.
Speaker 1: So do you have an answer?
Speaker 3: Brody?
Speaker 1: Steve you watching animal plan on a lot?
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Cal, how you doing?
Speaker 5: I know what alliteration is?
Speaker 1: Okay? Just does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and
Speaker 1: reveal your answers. What's that say? Whale warriors? Steve saying
Speaker 1: whale warriors, Sandy without an answer, Rick saying whale watchers,
Speaker 1: Brody saying whale watchers, Corey saying whale watchers. Corinen without
Speaker 1: an answer, Cal saying whale watch Paul Is saying green keepers.
Speaker 1: Nobody got it, but the correct answer was whale wars.
Speaker 1: Some folks flirted.
Speaker 3: With the.
Speaker 1: He wrote too many letters after war. The answer was
Speaker 1: whale wars. We had whale watchers, whale watch, whale warriors
Speaker 1: nobody got it. Whale Wars lasted for seven seasons from
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight to twenty fifteen. The Sea Shepherds
Speaker 1: would trail Japanese whalers around the ocean and try to
Speaker 1: sabotage them by throwing stink bombs at their boat. The
Speaker 1: show and its crew received mixed reviews, with one Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal critic writing this quote, what is shocking is
Speaker 1: how unprepared most of these people are for their self
Speaker 1: appointed mission as planet savers. Although the word deadly is
Speaker 1: used often to underscore the risks the crew face, their
Speaker 1: own incompetence can seem the most frightening. Steve, did you
Speaker 1: ever watch that show?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: But the other day I was staying in a place
Speaker 3: and they had books on the shelf, and there was
Speaker 3: a book called Whale Warriors.
Speaker 1: If only you didn't see it.
Speaker 3: It was about people trying to sabotage whalers, and so
Speaker 3: I thought that must be the show.
Speaker 5: Oh, you gotta watch more, TV bro put those books away.
Speaker 1: Question seven the topic is forging. This next great question
Speaker 1: comes to is via Ryan Foster. If you have a
Speaker 1: question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you
Speaker 1: can send it to trivia at the meadeater dot com.
Speaker 1: Chicago is named after this plant, which is a type
Speaker 1: of wild onion. Chicago is named after this plant, which
Speaker 1: is a type of wild onion. Steve again with a
Speaker 1: quick answer, do you have this one?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 1: Okay. Sandy also with a quick answer, Sandy is just
Speaker 1: as an educated guest. Do you know this answer?
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer?
Speaker 1: Okay. A tough round of trivia again, This is a question.
Speaker 3: Is you're like really.
Speaker 1: Ship on this?
Speaker 7: You know, Spencer, I feel like last trivia I gave
Speaker 7: you a lot of ship for the question, and now
Speaker 7: I'm like, this is hard.
Speaker 3: You know when he used to when he was like,
Speaker 3: he used to kind of sell his abilities as the
Speaker 3: host by be like, well, anybody can come up with
Speaker 3: questions no one knows the answer to, right, It's true, folks,
Speaker 3: he was like he prided himself on getting these questions
Speaker 3: that would have like like a good way to return
Speaker 3: folks love how many grains of sand are on Omaha Beach?
Speaker 3: No one knew, But now that's kind of the territory,
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 1: Folks who love to write in with questions with the
Speaker 1: subject line being like Steve will never get this one right,
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna stump the whole crew.
Speaker 8: You should text Shelby and see what nonprofit she wants
Speaker 8: to donate.
Speaker 1: Okay again, Chicago is named after this plant, which is
Speaker 1: a type of wild onion, and the category is foraging.
Speaker 3: Let's go m.
Speaker 1: Paul. You're gonna come up with an answer. Does everybody
Speaker 1: else have an answer? Rick? There, go ahead and reveal
Speaker 1: your answers. We have Steve saying chickory, Sandy saying skunk cabbage,
Speaker 1: Rick sang, Brody sang chickory, Cory sang chives, Krim say,
Speaker 1: Chicory saying ramp. Paul without an answer, we have somebody
Speaker 1: with the correct answer in the room. It is leak
Speaker 1: or ramp cow. Got it right?
Speaker 5: I thought garlic, not wild.
Speaker 1: Garlic and wild onion come from like the same family.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think wild garlic is a type of
Speaker 1: wild onion. Wild onion is a type of wild god.
Speaker 5: I have never heard wild onions described as anything other
Speaker 5: than wild onions.
Speaker 3: So way through? How do you get from ramp to Chicago?
Speaker 1: This name comes from the algonquin word that means striped
Speaker 1: skunk or onion. Early explorers said that local tribes referred
Speaker 1: to the place as Chicago, which was from the abundance
Speaker 1: of leaks and ramps that grew along nearby waterways.
Speaker 2: But see, I knew the skunk's part, right, I remember
Speaker 2: it had something to do with skunks.
Speaker 1: Had that part again? Correct answer be leak or ramp
Speaker 1: only col got it right. Question eight. The topic is biology.
Speaker 1: Robert Paine introduced this term in nineteen sixty nine that
Speaker 1: describes a species on which other species in an ecosystem
Speaker 1: drastically depend on. Robert Pain introduced this term in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty nine that describes a species on which other species
Speaker 1: in an ecosystem drastically depend on.
Speaker 5: I don't like this one either.
Speaker 1: Oh, this one bugs me because I know it. I
Speaker 1: can't think of it. Rick knew it? Quick answer, Steve,
Speaker 1: you seem like you knew it? No, No, maybe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'm doing terribles. Really going to get an
Speaker 7: email from me.
Speaker 1: After this again. Topic is biology. Robert Pain introduced this
Speaker 1: term in nineteen sixty nine that describes a species on
Speaker 1: which other species in an ecosystem drastically depend on.
Speaker 3: I do think I got it.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, We need some points on the board from folks.
Speaker 1: Even if it's Steve and you root against Eve. Want
Speaker 1: you to get this one right.
Speaker 3: Even though you normally root against me.
Speaker 1: Traditionally folks root against you, You're still You're still in
Speaker 1: your heel area, heel Era. But as we've learned before,
Speaker 1: you're coming around your babyface era. Cal, You're gonna get
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 5: I don't know, Ken, I don't know. I mean I
Speaker 5: have questions M that I can't ask because somebody.
Speaker 1: Does. Everybody have an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answer.
Speaker 1: We have Steve saying key stone, Sandy saying keystone, Rick
Speaker 1: saying keystone, Brody saying symbiotic, Corey without an answer, Krin
Speaker 1: without an answer, Cal saying keystone, Paul without an answer.
Speaker 1: They got it. The correct answer is keystone species.
Speaker 2: That was a good try, Brody, that's.
Speaker 5: Good you know.
Speaker 1: Payne's discovery was considered groundbreaking as he was one of
Speaker 1: the first ecologists to recognize that some ecosystems would drastically
Speaker 1: change if just a single keystone species disappeared. His example
Speaker 1: was with starfish, but other Keystone species. These include otters, elephants, wolves, beavers,
Speaker 1: and prairie dogs. Phil we have two questions left.
Speaker 5: Nobody gonna talk about the bullshittiness of that. I mean,
Speaker 5: he discovered that, come on.
Speaker 3: Well described it.
Speaker 1: A lot of folks said it like changed ecology when
Speaker 1: he recognized how important one species could be.
Speaker 5: And it was basically, people, are you now that he
Speaker 5: changed it for the worse not the better?
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's just like specific to like
Speaker 1: wolves and Yellowstone or something, right.
Speaker 5: But everything's like there are far more keystones than the
Speaker 5: keystone in a doorway.
Speaker 3: Because Yellowstone was there doing pretty good for a very
Speaker 3: long time with the wolves.
Speaker 1: Phil we have two questions, though, give us a update.
Speaker 8: Corey and Paul are no longer in the running with
Speaker 8: zero points. Neither are Rick and Kurin, who have one
Speaker 8: point apiece. However, Sandy and Brody have two points, are
Speaker 8: still technically hanging on. Steve has three and cows and
Speaker 8: first points first place with four points okay, also beating Shelby.
Speaker 1: Still chasing Shelby index to get six right. Question nine.
Speaker 1: The topic is fishing. This state holds the world's biggest
Speaker 1: ice fishing contest every year on Gall Lake. This state
Speaker 1: holds the world's biggest ice fishing contest every year on
Speaker 1: Gall Lake. Brody do you know this one.
Speaker 5: We'll find out.
Speaker 1: Okay, is it just a guest, Brody, or you've.
Speaker 8: Just scared everyone in this room saying a single word.
Speaker 1: Clyde show Ever, uh, I'm not going to comment. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's like you either know stuff about ice fishing and
Speaker 1: you don't Texas. Don't say Texas. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be Texas. This state holds the world's biggest ice fishing
Speaker 1: contest every year on gall Lake g U l L.
Speaker 5: I'm saying I have a fifty percent chance.
Speaker 1: Okay, good for you, Cal.
Speaker 5: But I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for you, Cal. It looks better for me
Speaker 1: if you get these last two right and you hit
Speaker 1: the Shelby index, I'll do it for you. SPA. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and
Speaker 1: reveal your answers. We have Steve Sang Minnesota, Sandy Sang Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Rick Saying Wisconsin, Brody Saying Minnesota, Cory Sang, Minnesota, Krinn Sang,
Speaker 1: North Dakota, Cal sanyg Minnesota, Paul Sang, Minnesota. The correct
Speaker 1: answer is Minnesota. The Brainer jc's ice fishing Extravaganza has
Speaker 1: been going on since nineteen ninety one, twelve thousand anglers
Speaker 1: competed for two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in prizes.
Speaker 1: During the twenty twenty three competition, the winning fish this
Speaker 1: year was a nine point four or five pound wileye,
Speaker 1: which was caught by a thirteen year old Minnesota. Now
Speaker 1: I have a confession. After I wrote that question and
Speaker 1: was fact checking the answer, I came across an article
Speaker 1: in Outside magazine from twenty seventeen. It was actually written
Speaker 1: by Sandy, So Sandy an immediate you got two bones
Speaker 1: thrown to you this game. What do you remember about
Speaker 1: the the brainer j C's ice Fishing Extravaganza.
Speaker 2: Well, on a previous show you talked about how they
Speaker 2: clean up after burning man and they pick up even
Speaker 2: the tiniest thing. These people were picking up cheese curds
Speaker 2: out of the ice chess. There was a boy scout
Speaker 2: troop and after they left all the ice, all the
Speaker 2: holes froze over. There was not a sign of anything
Speaker 2: except they did have one rectangular hole where they had
Speaker 2: returned the fish into the lake and that was still there.
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the event?
Speaker 3: When I loved it.
Speaker 2: It was it was excellent, and there were thousands of
Speaker 2: people there. It was just it was it was windy,
Speaker 2: it was really cold, but it is a great event.
Speaker 2: If you ever want to go to a great ice
Speaker 2: fishing tournament, I recommend.
Speaker 1: And were there a lot of extracurriculars going on, the
Speaker 1: drinking and beer luges and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: It's too cold for that. You can't have any shelter
Speaker 2: of any kind. You can't have a shelter of any kind.
Speaker 2: So yes, people were keeping their place like so you
Speaker 2: wouldn't someone else wouldn't take your hole by putting like
Speaker 2: little boxes of chocolate doughnuts on them. But sometimes it
Speaker 2: would be kept by you know, a six pack or
Speaker 2: twelve pack or something like that, which of course would
Speaker 2: freeze solid soon.
Speaker 1: And I like that you recognize that they cleaned up
Speaker 1: so well after them, So that was amazing.
Speaker 2: It was really great. The brainer Jc's do it. And
Speaker 2: they have these boy Scout troops that get out there.
Speaker 2: It's wonderful event.
Speaker 5: Brainer's the official home of Paul Bunion, right or just
Speaker 5: the Blue Ox.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I might I don't remember the Paul Bunion,
Speaker 2: but yeah, it could well be. They Brainerd is a
Speaker 2: place that used to have a lot of paper factories,
Speaker 2: and the paper factories left because we import all our
Speaker 2: paper except toilet paper because toilet paper is too bulky.
Speaker 2: So they and they weren't doing a lot of toilet paper,
Speaker 2: and so that was basically to bring up the tourism
Speaker 2: in the winter. They came up with this and it's
Speaker 2: been a huge success.
Speaker 1: Phail, we have one question left. Where does the leader
Speaker 1: board stand?
Speaker 8: Uh Cal is in first place with five points and
Speaker 8: Steve is the only person that can technically catch him
Speaker 8: with four.
Speaker 1: Question ten the topic is hunting. This next great question
Speaker 1: comes to us via Shall and Teach. If you have
Speaker 1: a question you think is right for media to trivia,
Speaker 1: you can send it to trivia to mediator dot com.
Speaker 1: According to quail Forever, there are six species of quail
Speaker 1: native to North America.
Speaker 3: Name two of them the stupidest question in the world.
Speaker 1: According to quail forever, there are six species of quail
Speaker 1: native to North America. I need you to name two
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 3: Well, you're just give them the whole game to cal.
Speaker 1: Unsus. Cal doesn't get it. You ought to aim to
Speaker 1: have your questions somewhere in between this one and the
Speaker 1: ones that no one get a stupid one.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, can you pick one that's non native.
Speaker 1: You need to tell me, or one of the two
Speaker 1: native ones? What cal are you leaking there? Huh? Are
Speaker 1: you leaking confidence in this answer?
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm truly wondering. Are there non native quail
Speaker 5: in North America? I'm not sure that there are?
Speaker 1: Do you have an answer?
Speaker 5: I have two answers.
Speaker 1: Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We
Speaker 1: have Steve saying Bob White and Mern, Sandy saying Gambles
Speaker 1: and Bob White. We're saying Bob White and Southern, Brody
Speaker 1: saying Bob White, Scaled, Corey saying Desert and Bob White,
Speaker 1: Krin saying Bob White without a second answer, cal saying
Speaker 1: Merns and Bob White. Paul saying Bob White and California.
Speaker 1: These six are Bob White, California or Valley, Mountain, Gambles
Speaker 1: or Desert scaled or Blue Mourns or Montezuma. Now why
Speaker 1: I thought this was okay questions because there's so many
Speaker 1: additional names somebody could have written down, like Gambles and
Speaker 1: desert or California and Valley or Merns and Montezuma, and
Speaker 1: I think we had a few pokes get the question wrong, Steve.
Speaker 5: California and does any better.
Speaker 3: Well, it's about it's something that I would know that
Speaker 3: Cal didn't know that ain't. That's what kind of what
Speaker 3: I needed there.
Speaker 5: According to Quail Forever Quail, I'm not sure if you've
Speaker 5: played this before.
Speaker 1: But according to Quail Forever, quail almost never die of
Speaker 1: old age. Their average lifespan is less than a year
Speaker 1: because they are preyed upon by so many other animals.
Speaker 1: It's estimated that about seventy five percent of America's quail
Speaker 1: population dies each year, which they offset with large broods.
Speaker 3: Cal hit the Shelby Inducks.
Speaker 1: Cal hit the Shelby index.
Speaker 5: I'm in getting real into birds and habitat last couple
Speaker 5: of years working with some some cool folks, chatting them up,
Speaker 5: and it's like just staggering the like they they live
Speaker 5: to die, Turkeys, pheasants, Yeah, yeah, they're just they produce.
Speaker 5: It's a numbers game, that's all it is.
Speaker 1: It's great now. The question that turned it around for
Speaker 1: you was the Chicago foraging ramp that you got right
Speaker 1: and no one else did. It's well, done.
Speaker 5: Thank you, cal.
Speaker 1: What happens next is you get to choose with a
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars donation from meat Eater Ghosts for getting
Speaker 1: six right and winning the game. So what's it going
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna throw five hundred bucks at Montana Bha. It's
Speaker 5: been a brutal legislative session. Need more money to throw
Speaker 5: at the lobbyist.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 5: It means that there's a bunch of legislation out there
Speaker 5: that will affect everyone in this room, and not all
Speaker 5: of it is good.
Speaker 1: Got more No, is that.
Speaker 5: It will pay attention. People. All this stuff affects you,
Speaker 5: for God's sake, in every state. If your state's in session,
Speaker 5: you need to pay attention. It will affect you possibly
Speaker 5: this next season. And if all you do is complain,
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear it is.
Speaker 1: They're very palatable, easy to listen to.
Speaker 8: Short podcasts that comes out every week that someone going
Speaker 8: to stuff like that.
Speaker 5: God, I don't even I record it every week, Phil,
Speaker 5: but it's called cos week in Review. Check it out.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sandy, thank you for joining us. You did well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel I feel very happy about my my success.
Speaker 1: I think you finished like middle top of the pack,
Speaker 1: which is good for a guest on this show.
Speaker 2: Well, what is the best to guests? Didn't you say
Speaker 2: we guest got eight, one, ten?
Speaker 1: Well from the guests, usually I think our best guest
Speaker 1: get one, six or seven. I don't know if we've
Speaker 1: had an eight. Maybe can you.
Speaker 3: Think of a sports analogy for like where I'm at
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 1: Tell me where you're at.
Speaker 3: Mused to be like such a like a dominating force,
Speaker 3: and now I can't win at all, But like I'm
Speaker 3: looking for one where you come back, sure, like Tiger
Speaker 3: Woods or something.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the the Golden State Warriors, they have Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: Clay Jompson. They are a dynasty who then went away
Speaker 1: for a few years and then came back last year
Speaker 1: and won the championship.
Speaker 3: I like that ship.
Speaker 1: Now this year they're flirting with like a sixth seed
Speaker 1: in the West, but they still scare folks a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot, even though their recent success maybe hasn't
Speaker 1: earned them that.
Speaker 8: I think a better analogy would be Peyton Manning, if
Speaker 8: it works out.
Speaker 3: For you, if I came back like he was real good.
Speaker 4: And things got rough, then he moved to Denver and
Speaker 4: won a couple of Super Bowls
Speaker 3: And yeah, like that, let's sick at Tiger Woods, join
Speaker 3: us next time for and retired the only game show
Speaker 3: where conservation always wins.
