How do you say your last name? Is it K-Mon? Come on. Come on. Like, come on over here. Come on, bro. What other versions of that do you use? Come on, man.

Michael Mon, like the K's silent. K-Man. Ooh. K-Mon. K-Man. Those are kind of the most variations that I hear. Tell folks what you do at MeatEater. I am the partnerships coordinator.

I deal with all of our brand partnerships and making sure that we get some of the right gear at the right time. Yes, like Chester and Seth's boat. Everyone's best friend. He gets walleye boats. Everyone's best friend. We're alsoeye boats. Everyone's best friend. We're also joined by Brent, who you just heard on the podcast a couple days ago.

What did you guys talk about today? Tell them, Brent. Brent West, High Peaks Alliance. We talked about the land access initiative that Meat Eater helped us secure Shiloh Pawn for our community. We talked about land conservation in general, particularly like private lands and the public

conservation. I like it. Brent, this is Meat Eater Trivia. This is trivia you're not going to get from Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit,

or any Bar and Grill trivia. These are born out of Meat Eater's four verticals. What are they, Steve? Hunt, hunting,

fishing, wild foods or the culinary world, and conservation. And there is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We've played nine times so far. Steve has won four times.

Brody has won twice. And Clay, Seth, and Giannis have all won once. So, Brent, if you didn't know this, you're in the room with some heavy hitters. Oh, listen, though. He's like, I've already sussed him out. I already sussed him out. He's competitive. Okay. He's a contrarian.

A little bit of a know-it-all. Perfect for me to trivia. No, no, no. I think he's going to do just fine. Sounds like you were describing yourself for a second there. I didn't want to say that. He's going to fit right in. And he's kind of studied the game a little bit.

Well, I buffed up on a few of the recent ones. He knows kind of how it works. Good to know. Before we get to trivia though, I want to talk about the possum scroll from a couple games ago. A couple games ago, we had a visual question where the prompt was a photo of

a possum with its scrotum stuck in a fence. We posted that picture to Instagram where it got nearly a thousand comments. Again, if you want to see it, you can go to Instagram and check out at Stephen Rinella or at Spencer North. Have you seen it yet, Giannis? Yes. What'd you think? I don't know.

That's it? It looks painful. That's it? Yeah, I mean, we've already seen it with like squirrels and other animals, so yeah, it was like another scrotum in a fence. Must happen quite often. That happens a lot? Well, I don't know. Judging that we've posted three, four pictures of scrotums, you know, between fence boards.

Just another hairy nut sack. Hold on a minute. When did we post photos of things hung up by the nuts on fences? I think you posted one of... Definitely have seen it with a squirrel. Was it, like, in Washington, D.C., a deer that was jumping over a fence? hung up by the nuts on fences. I think you posted one of was it like in Washington D.C. a deer that was jumping over a fence? Was that you? Go on.

Alright, well I went through all 1,000 comments and picked out some of the best. I'm now going to read those comments in the room and we're going to select which is our favorite. Then, Michael, our merch guy, is going to march over to the merch room and grab a couple hats or water bottles or shirts or whatever and we're going to send that to you as a reward

for making us laugh. You guys ready? Oh, I thought Michael was going to march over there and get some paint and get out the t-shirt press and make a new meat eater t-shirt. No, you're thinking Hunter Spencer. What do you think you got that we could give away to folks? Why are you rolling your eyes about that? Well, because

he didn't need to have some artwork. It was just going to be this quote or this line. It was just going to be so funny that Kamau is going to make a new T-shirt out of it. Hey, has the guy just said he won't be grinning for long or not going to be grinning for a while? Is that in there? That's one of them. All right, I will get to the comments, and we'll select our favorite at the end. First one.

Only a few more of these picks, and you boys got a new calendar. That's from Mr. Mack. That's. First one. Only a few more of these picks and you boys got a new calendar. That's from Mr. Mack. That's a good one. I showed this to my husband and had him guess what it was. He immediately knew it was a possum and now I can't decide if I'm impressed or concerned at how quickly this man could ID a varmint scrotum.

That is from Ashley D. Evans. Next we have I know a pine squirrel is just licking his lips off camera. That's from HuntLifeDad. Next, we have, I know a pine squirrel is just licking his lips off camera. Ooh, that's good. That's from HuntLifeDad. Then we have, he won't be grinning for some time. That's from AFigs, which Steve had already seen.

You like that one. Next, we have, now Steve in the caption said that the possum was unharmed because, as we know, from the person who sent us that photo, they got the possum loose and the possum walked off and disappeared. Yeah, a lot of people questioned what unharmed means. Yeah. This person says, if your definition of unharmed includes getting hung up on a fence by your screw, then we live very different lives, Steve. That's the one I like. Next one.

This is from The Plagued Mandalorian. He says, now that's what I call balls to the wall. Oh, that's a good one. The next one. Someone broke into my truck for the third time in two months, and it cost me over $2,000, but I'm suddenly feeling a lot better about my life after seeing this. That's from Danny Feltner. Number eight.

I knew they weren't my old mans because they've been in my mom's purse for years. It's from Tarbender77. And the last one from Michael Murray is, that fence is forever tainted. So what do you guys think? Which one should we pick for Michael to send something to? Number eight. Second to last. Second to last.

The old mans because they've been in my mom's purse for years. What does this side of the room think? I got to agree. I got me to smile. Oh, it was just like a chuckle factor. I chuckled more off that

one. All right. Tarbender 77. Thank you for making us laugh. Michael, what are you going to go send him after this?

Oh boy. I bet we can probably find some pretty good meat eater merch, some good hats, T-shirts. Who knows? Maybe a little workshop pocket sharpener. Mystery Box coming to you, Tarbender77.

Awesome. We are now on to meat-eater trivia. Play the drop, Phil. I have a question to just bring up real quick to the room. Hold the drop, Phil. Hold the drop, Phil. I wonder if there's a threshold in the animal kingdom when

who can support their own weight with their nuts and who can't? It's also being supported by the... Oh, no, you're right. At some point, they're going to squeeze through the fence. I don't think it'd work for us,

Yanni. No, you don't think it would. It definitely would. No, you could take someone and... What do you call the base of a... What is the base area there? Stump. Yeah, because...

Oh, yeah, but you know what? It's like, it's not the base where it comes out of the... It's like the... Yeah, just the base of the scroll itself. There's no way. that would be extraordinarily painful to find out i'm sorry there's no way that it would hold your weight i disagree oh man no way it depends on how how like the crack in the fence let's say that was steel plates. Two welded steel plates. So the plates aren't going to give out.

And say it was Chester. He's probably about 120 pounds of wet. Running from an MIP in college or something, hopping fences. If the skin didn't break. A half inch gap between two welded steel plates and you slide

someone's scroll through that crack. No way. What would happen? You're saying that it would squish through the crack? Either the skin would tear or your nuts would just collapse. I think something's tearing. Something's tearing. We'll probably never know.

We should talk to Alan Lazar. He might be able to help us out. Instead of dividing the animal kingdom into vertebrates and invertebrates, Yanni's going to do a new division. We should be like, can you hang? He's playing like, name that thing. He's like, could you hang it? By the basement scroll.

Further updates coming. I will talk to Dr. Alan Lazara and try to get us an answer. He's our resident physician. Do you have the normal amount of corrections you need to do? No, that's it. Oh, you did a good job. That is the correction. He's giving Tarbender a mystery package

for his comment about a possum's package. How he ruled out that it was not his old man. That's right. Hold the drop, Phil. Got it. Alright, now he can play it. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything.

How's that? You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Alright, the first question, as always, is going to be multiple choice. The topic is whitetails. A recent study on a 30,000-acre property in Georgia used trail cameras at bait sites to monitor how deer behave when played different sounds. When motion was detected by a trail camera, it would take a video and play a noise

that was roughly the volume of a dishwasher. What type of noise overwhelmingly spooked the most amount of deer? Was it non-threatening birds, wolves, humans, or coyotes? Again this was in Georgia on a 30,000 acre property where a trail camera monitored bait sites and it would play a random noise when it detected movement. Which one of these noises spooked the most amount of deer? Non-threatening birds, wolves, humans, or coyotes. Did this place get hunted? It did. Why are you giving tips? I feel like that's a fair question. I thought it might even come up, so I was ready to answer it. I about put it in here. It was not a high fence operation.

I really do not like that you answered Brody's question. Well, yeah, because then the next question I could be like, well, have these deer live in an area where there are natural wolves around? Yeah, why Georgia? You've never answered a question in your life. That's not true. The life of trivia. Life of trivia? It's total bullshit.

Yeah, I got an answer. I think I'm probably right, too. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody. Oh, Brody, Brody. Oh, you... It already wasn't, like, rigged enough in Brody's favor now. We're still talking.

Brody sang humans. Michael sang birds. Chester sang humans. Seth sang wolves. Giannis sang humans. Steve sang humans. Brent sang coyotes. We're losing losers.

We got all over the board here. The correct answer is humans. Ah! I still got it right. What did Brody have? Brody got it right. The studies show deer were twice as likely to flee From the sound of a human voice Than any other large carnivore

This was no surprise since humans represent The greatest threat to adult whitetails in Georgia The real surprise was the reaction to wolves Which deer feared the most out of any of the predators Besides humans Here's a quote from the lead researcher Who said he was shocked by the result. At first, it was kind of a head scratcher, but it makes a lot of sense.

Deer co-evolved with wolves in the Eastern North America. Deer have existed with wolves far longer and coyotes are the relative newcomers. For more on this study, you can check out Lindsay Thomas Jr.'s article on DeerAssociation.com called Shut Your Venison Hole, You're Spooking Deer. Ooh. I like that title. That adds some credence to your dad as a kid telling you to shut up.

Deer do not like human voices. You know, weird part about that study is when they're looking for like as loud as, they came up with as loud as a dishwasher. I feel like that's a good comparison though. Like I hear that and I know what volume it is. Yeah. Which is interesting that, you know what I mean? If you're curious what the humans were talking about,

they had four male voices and four female voices that were talking about sports. Oh, they weren't like, I'm going to kill you. No, we weren't threatening them. On to question two, the topic is cooking. What is the term used to describe a vegetarian who also eats fish and seafood? What is the term used to describe a vegetarian who also eats fish and seafood? And spelling definitely doesn't count, right? Doesn't.

Not going to ding you. A confident room. Does everybody have an answer? Not confident. Oh, not confident. From across the table. You done, Steve? Yeah.

I was going to write down my old girlfriend. Does everybody have an answer? No. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying pescatarian, pescatarian, pescatarian. I got nothing. Nothing from Seth. Oh, I got to change mine.

I got to change mine. Yours is wrong, man. A pescavore. We're not going to give it to you. That is not correct. All right. The jokester who wanted to write down my ex-girlfriend. I didn't mean that.

Couldn't come up with pescatarian. What do you got? Pescatarian. What does Brody have? Pescatarian. What does Brody have? Pescatarian. A 2020 poll. You need to stop worrying about me and worrying about yourself, man. A 2020 poll showed that about 68% of Americans are meat eaters or omnivores, 8% are flexitarian,

5% are vegetarian, 3% are vegan, and 3% are pescatarian. Then there's another 13% who identify as other. What's a flexitarian? The flexitarian thing is so stupid. It means that they eat what they want when they want. It's like everybody else. Why are they not just rolled into everybody else? They're considered a casual vegetarian.

Yeah, it's like I mostly eat vegetables except for when I'm eating meat. It's like, dude, You're just like everybody else It's the stupidest thing In the world It's like They want to be able to be like Morally superior But still eat burgers

Yeah 8% of Americans Identify It's the stupidest thing In the world As a flexitarian Did they mention Carnivores

I'm totally celibate Except for when I have sex Except for when I want to have a kid We are on to question three. Topic is hunting. This next great question comes to us via Gino Ketchum. If you have a question you think is right for Meteor Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.

Now, before we do the question, this is the best question I've ever received from a listener. I love everyone who sends in questions, but this question from Gino is the cream of the crop. And for everyone who writes in from now on, this is your new bar to beat. There is only one state that has closed regulated hunting seasons for both elk and alligators. What is it? A stumped room so far. I'm not stumped. Hit me again.

One state. There's one state that has closed regulated hunting. What does closed mean? For both elk and alligators. That means there's an opening day and a closing day. Okay. So it's not that what there once was. Right now, this year.

It should just say a regulated hunting season. There are issues if you just say regulated. There is one state that has closed regulated hunting seasons for both elk and alligators. What is it? Again, thank you, Gino, for sending in the question. Hold on a minute now. I know what Spencer's saying. I know exactly what he's saying.

If you go into Montana's trapping regulations, wolverines are still in there. There's just no units open. There are units open. Okay. You get a tag. You fill the tag. One state has this available to you. I completely understand what you're saying. Okay.

Steve, you got him worried now that Brody knows it. Especially with that detail you added a little later. What was the detail he added later? You asked about what closed meant. They said there's an opening day. Oh. And a closing day.

I don't know what you called the last day. Giannis, have you even written anything? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay. Does everyone have an answer? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We don't have many gators up in Maine.

We got it? Good? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying Arkansas. Mike saying Texas. Chester saying South Carolina. Seth saying North Carolina.

Giannis saying North Carolina. Steve saying North Carolina. Brent saying South Carolina. I erased Virginia. Well done, Brody. The correct answer is Arkansas. You've got to be kidding me. Really?

I don't think they have an elk season in North Carolina. Apparently not. Now, Texas does have a closed alligator season, but does not have a closed elk season. All elk in Texas are considered exotic species, meaning you can hunt them year-round with no bag limit. But in Arkansas in 2020, there were 47 elk and 170 alligators harvested. Both seasons take place in fall, but their distributions do not overlap.

How come Clay doesn't hunt gators? Is Brody playing a perfect game right now? He is three for three. Oh, my God, man. Stop worrying about me and concentrate on yourself. A lot of game left. We're on to question four. The topic is public lands.

Name one of the five least visited national parks in 2019. Name one of the five least visited national parks in 2019. These are attendance numbers from the National Park Service. I'll do you one better. Well, I ain't going to talk. Confident Steven, not so confident Brody. No. The rest of the room is somewhere in between.

2019. In 2019. Well, Chester knows. No, I don't think, but I've got it. Again, name one of the five least visited national parks in 2019. Does everybody have an answer? No. I don't have a good one.

I better start a timer because I want all the time I can get. We're running out of that time. I can't even think of a national park right now. There's got to be a limit. I like the big ones. There's got to be a limit. Everybody got an answer? Oh, yeah.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying Death Valley, Michael saying the Acadia, Chester saying Glacier, Seth without an answer, Giannis saying Big Ben, Steve saying Gates of the Arctic, or suck it, Brody. I like that national park. And Brent. I put Mainwoods Brody. I like that national park. And Brent. I put Maine Woods Monument.

Maine Woods Monument. The five least visited national parks are Gates of the Arctic in Alaska, Kobuk Valley in Alaska, Lake Clark in Alaska, Isle Royale in Michigan, and North Cascades in Washington. So only Steve, I think, got it right. Yeah, buddy. Good job, Steve. He started thinking about himself.

Yeah, I started. Stop fixating. No, I was very fixated on Brody. Minus the suck at Brody at the end. He's going the opposite direction. We're on to question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is biology.

Lynx Rufus is the scientific name for what North American animal? Lynx Rufus is the scientific name for what North American animal? Seems as though nobody knew it right off the bat. So, gonna have some educated guests in the room.

That's a good trick question. Lynx Rufus. It definitely is that. So I'm going to have some educated guests in the room. That's a good trick question. Mm-hmm. Lynx Rufus. It definitely is that. Unless it isn't. Lynx Rufus is the scientific name for what North American animal? Can you spell it? L-Y-N-X space Rufus.

R-U-F-U-S. I took a wild guess, and I'll probably be embarrassed by it. Lynx, Rufus. You know it, Yon. I think. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. I went with a trick question.

We have Brody saying Bobcat. Mike saying Lynx. Chester saying Bobcat, Seth saying Lynx, Giannis saying Ruffed Grouse, Steve saying Lynx, and Brent saying Pine Martin. The correct answer is Bobcat. You son of a bitch! Really? Chester and Brody got it right.

It would only, it's like... I want to go back to where Brody doesn't even know that these are happening some biologists recognize up to 13 subspecies of bobcat the mexican bobcat which is the smallest and southernmost bobcat in north america has been on the endangered species list since 1976 there have been multiple attempts to remove the mexican bobcat from the list since 2003 with delisting proponents citing that it's not a valid subspecies, but as of 2022, it's still considered an endangered animal. Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update.

You know those old, like, kind of boxing posters? They have a very distinct look. It's like two guys. And you got those little Rodney Dangerfield swimsuits on. That's going to be our next t-shirt between you guys. Seth Morris, you have zero points. I'm sorry. Michael and Brent have one.

Giannis and Steve have two points. Chester, you have three in second place. And in first place, it's Brody Henderson. With what? You have four. Four out of five so far. If you win, Brody, who are you going to give your money to? I'm not telling you yet.

It's like thinking ahead. I've got to focus on the next question. We are on to question six. The topic is gear. This next great question comes to us via Jimmy Miller. If you have a. The topic is gear. This next great question comes to us via Jimmy Miller. If you have a question you think is right for more trivia. Jimmy Miller? Yanni's Jimmy Miller?

I don't know. He hit me up on the trivia inbox if it's him. Yeah, that's not how he would do it probably. I bet there's a million James Millers out there. You want to hear a great Jimmy Miller story? Yes. Yanni's Jimmy Miller found a deer. You know when you cut hay bales loose and how they always hang all the cords over a fence post or whatever? Do you know this story? Yes. Yanni's Jimmy Miller found a deer. You know when you cut hay bales loose and how they always hang all

the cords over a fence post or whatever? Do you know this story? No, I don't know the story. So he looks out his window one day where he's been throwing all of his hay bale cords. There's a buck all tangled up in there. And he goes down and frees that buck up. And guess what the first thing on that buck's mind was after he freed him up?

Eat the hay. Kick his ass. Oh, how bad. I don't think there was any injury. No, he's like, as soon as I get free, I'm going to beat the ass of this dude who's freeing me. I like it. Again, this question from Jimmy Miller. Maybe that Jimmy Miller. Maybe one of the other

thousands of Jimmy Millers. If you have a question you think is right, send it to trivia at TheMedia.com. There are four states in the lower 48 that don't have a Bass Pro or Cabela's. Name one of them. There are four states in the lower 48 that don't have a Bass Pro or a Cabela's. Name one of them. Four states that don't have a Bass Pro or Cabela's.

God, these are good. How long does it take you to do all this, Spencer? To write a whole show? Like four hours, probably. Takes a minute. I bet. It probably takes longer every time. Yeah, inbox is getting fuller and fuller.

You're getting a lot of engagement. Yep. As you say in the media business. That's right. Good for me, though. Does everybody have an answer? No, hold on one second. I can't make up my mind between two. Seth? Good? Brody? Can Seth pull out of the hole?

It's a deep freaking hole right now. You're going to have to go. I don't mean the winning hole. I mean just out of the hole? It's a deep freaking hole right now. You're going to have to go 100. I don't mean like the winning hole. I mean just out of the hole. No, I feel like just getting one right is deep right now. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying Rhode Island, Michael saying New Hampshire,

Chester saying Wyoming, Seth saying Rhode Island, Giannis saying Connecticut, Steve saying Rhode Island, and Brent saying Connecticut, Steve saying Rhode Island, and Brent saying New Hampshire. The correct answer is North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wyoming. Wow. Wyoming's a surprise.

So you guys did pretty well. Where's New Hampshire? Mega surprise. That did nothing to help my gaining on Brent. I had Hawaii down, but, man, I changed them. Well, that would be a big mistake because I said lower 48. Oh, I wasn't listening. On the contrary, Texas and Florida lead the country.

He's too busy thinking about where he's going to spend all that money. Texas and Florida lead the country in Bass Pros and Cabela's. Texas has 14, while Florida has 12. Alaska actually has a Bass Pro and Cabela's in Anchorage, but Hawaii doesn't have any. We are on to question seven. The topic is deer camp. What's up?

A little more about your process. Where did you get that question from? That was from the inbox that Jimmy Miller hit me up at. But did he give you the answer? Yes, and then I fact-checked them. And then when you go to do your little educational tidbit, did he give you that too? No, but some folks do.

They'll give you little tidbits. Probably 70% will just hit me with a question and answer. What do you call the tidbit part? It's probably not that. It's a horrible name for it. I don't have any name for it. It's trivia about trivia. No, when he does a little, you know,

he kind of like, he kind of dials it up in the end with an educational moment. Tidbit. Tidbit. Yeah. We are on to question seven. The topic is deer camp. This is an audio question.

Phil the Engineer is going to play one minute of what I consider to be the worst song about hunting ever written. You need to tell me who the artist is. I think I know already. I'm already writing it down. Again, I am looking for the artist, not the name of the song.

Out in the sticks with the swirls and the ticks and my 30-ounce six. I'm running out of Miller Lite trucks and park. The dawn won't bar a couple hours till dark. Wishing one would walk by. Might as well left my gun in the gun rack. Been here all day. All I kill's a 12-pack. Sitting here, waiting on a deer.

Drinking beer and wasting bullets. Aiming at the empties, missing hidden pine trees. It ain't my fault them cans keep moving. My baby's on the phone saying, baby, come home. Can you make it stop? Again, the worst hunting song ever written. You need to tell me who the artist is. Some confident folks in the room, Michael specifically,

needed to hear about two chords before he knew the answer. I didn't even need to hear it. Does that mean you think... I knew exactly so. So you're going to be out of the hole now. Spencer, does that mean you think Michael has poor taste

in music? Not necessarily. Sucks to not be a country fan. This song came out when I was in college, but I forget the artist, so I wrote another. Is that old? I would have thought this would be one of those.

It feels like Waylon or something. It feels like 2008 or something. Does everybody have an answer? No, no, I don't. Oh, I know. Can I change mine now? It's not too late. I just need to pick a country guy. Merle Haggard.

It's not country. That wasn't country? I don't know. The lines are pretty blurred these days. My brother says you can still tell by the voice. The music doesn't tell, but the voice tells you. So what would you label that one as? It's very much country.

You got to pull the instrument. You take the voice out and listen to the instruments. You might not know. You take the instruments out and listen to the voice. You know because of the drawl. Does everybody have an answer? Yes. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

I don't even know if this is a real person. We have Brody saying Luke Bryan, Luke Bryan. Chester saying Jason Aldean. Seth saying Luke Bryan. Giannis saying Luke Bryant. But we'll give you Luke Bryan. Steve saying Dr. Dre. Really? You know I had Bryant? You don't have to give it to me.

And Brent saying Luke Bryan. That's close enough. The correct answer is Luke Bryan. What were you going to put on the end there? Brody, you knew. I had Bryant. Not Bryan. Oh, that would have been close. Brody, you knew that? You knew the worst song ever? But like, only because I have a couple buddies that listen to that

trash. Again, that was Drinking Beer and Wasting Bullets by Luke Bryan. I'm just kidding. I was going to say, I'm one of Brody's buddies that listens to that trash. Brody thinks he gets a lot of mean emails already. Yeah. Spencer said it was the worst song ever. Listen, if they don't make only bad songs about hunting and fishing in that genre of music,

they go on about everything. Right. Listen, I like that genre of music, and I agree. It's the fucking worst song ever written yeah about humming yeah if you weren't paying close attention to the lyrics let me help paint this picture for you Luke Bryan has crushed a 12-pack of Miller Lite he's in his pickup with his dog and is using the empty cans for target practice all while trying to kill the deer his girlfriend is blowing up his phone probably because she doesn't want her drunk boyfriend to poach a deer.

Later in the song, he says he's already on his second box of 100-grain.30-06 bullets, which I have to assume that he hand-loaded, because despite MidwayUSA selling 117 different types of.30-06 ammo, there isn't a single box that's less than 125 grains. All of these are reasons why I consider it to be the worst song ever written About haunting Does he mention his kids in there?

I don't think so The song came out in 2013 I thought he was saying kids always moving it If it was nowadays he probably wouldn't be wasting bullets He's trying to shoot the cans, the cans are always moving Do you know who wrote that song? I doubt it's him I don't know

What's that Die Youpers song? I was expecting the De-Youpers. Yeah. Yeah, I was already writing Die Youpers. No, that song's great. I love that song. I knew it wasn't going to be Fred Bearer. Quit making so much noise.

You're waking me up. I knew it wasn't going to be Uncle Ted. I don't think that song is even by Da Youpers. I think that's a misconception that everyone has. Now I'm going to have to look it up. Da Youpers has a whole album of hunting songs. But I think this one's by like the

Something Bananas. You're talking about Turdy Point Bart? Yeah. Oh, no, I don't know about that one. But I mean, Da Youpers, they have an album. Now we're going to get to the bottom of this. Do it next time. All right, next time. That'll be good little corrections for you.

Okay. Everybody should check out Shad Rap, too. Shad Rap? Are they a walleye band? Shad Rap. Kind of that same. We are on to question eight. We will get another scoreboard update from Phil after this.

The topic is fishing. There are four types of bullhead in North America that have a color in their name. Tell me two of them. Four types of bullhead in North America that have a color in their name. Tell me two of those colors. When's the last time you caught a bullhead, Steve? All the time. When's the last time you caught a bullhead, Steve? All the time. When's the last time?

Last spring. Really? What was the occasion? Fishing. You don't say. You don't say. The lower Yellowstone has bullheads. Oh.

I like it. My mom's dock has bullheads. We call them Hornpout in Maine. Oh, that's a good name. Wow, I never heard that. Does everybody have an answer? Giannis? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Brody saying yellow and brown, Michael saying brown and green, Chester saying yellow and white, Seth saying green and red, Giannis saying black and yellow, Steve saying yellow and black, and Brent saying brown and yellow. A lot of people are right. The correct answers are white, black, brown, and yellow. Woo!

No red bullhead, Seth. I think the yellows are the big ones. Damn. Brody's still way out in the lead, though. Although most folks consider them rough fish, bullheads were once a top target for commercial anglers. Pat Durkin wrote about Minnesota's bullhead economy and how a century ago they were one of the state's most sought after fish. He also covered how a bullhead bootlegger killed three game wardens in 1940 when they asked to see the paperwork for 1,300 pounds of bullheads he had in the man's barn.

You can read that article on themedia.com. It's called Bullhead Murders, The Day a Fish Bootlegger Killed Three Wardens. I got a quick story for you, and apologies to Tommy Edson, because I'm going to screw up deep parts of the story, but I'm staying true to the integrity of the story. Who's Tommy Edson? A buddy of mine out in Washington. He's a fishing ass fisherman. Fishes a lot.

Some old man he knew built a pond and he wanted to stock the pond with bullheads. So he says to Tommy, he goes, I'll give you a dollar for every bullhead you can bring me. Not grossly underestimating the enthusiasm with which Tommy would tackle this problem. So he eventually gets buckets of bullheads

and presents them to the old man thinking he just struck it rich. He said the guy looks in all those buckets. He goes, yeah, I'll give you 20 bucks. Phil, get us a scoreboard update. Here's the thing. Brody has seven points and pretty much can't lose but one person can possibly tie it up and that person is Chester because he has five points so we would

need Brody to get the last two wrong Chester to get the last two right would we play it out if it became that he couldn't be caught suppose why not for funsies maybe he wants to uh well he can't get the record of 10, which he holds. Steve's getting ready to walk out the door. Oh, yeah, dude.

I'm really ready to go. It's just, I just can't. What you could do is give me the answers, you know, if you really want Brody to lose. Oh, at this point, can me and Chester tag team? No. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Chef Sean Wiltrout. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to

trivia at themeateater.com. Name two of the three ingredients that make up the Cajun Trinity. Mmm. Name two of the three ingredients that make up the Cajun Trinity. How you feeling about it, Chester?

Not really good. But you never know. How you feeling about it, Chester? Not really good, but you never know. How you feeling about Brody? Good. Chet, we were just down there and did all that. Yeah, I know that, but... He wasn't paying attention. I was running around grabbing shit and packing gear. He was running around buying shit for the trinity

does everybody have an answer why should we get it wrong go with your gut i guess yeah man i guess i'm just confused on the trinity thing he's like shrimp boudin crayfish gator bites green wing teal name two of the three ingredients that make up the cajun trinity caterbots chester we're running out of time. I don't know, man. Do you have two things written down? I do, but... Go ahead and reveal your answers. Let me take you with Chester. We have Brody saying onion and bell pepper.

Mike saying green bell pepper, onion, celery. Chester saying... Let's see the board, Chester. Not right. Okay. Let's just see, Chester. It doesn't have an answer. Chester, you can't...

Listen. You can't not show the answer. I was going for like the Creole. Chester, show the answer. I wrote Creole like the seasoning and fish, all right? Let's see it. What's it say? I got my glasses on.

Creole and fish. Creole and fish. Good job, Chester. Seth saying onion and bell pepper. Yana saying onion and bell pepper. Seth saying onion and bell pepper. Yana saying onion and bell pepper. Steve saying onion and celery. And Brent saying celery and pepper. The correct answer is bell pepper, onion, and celery.

Don't give it to Brent. The key difference between... No bunions for all of you. That's one of the best ways to cook fish is... Pepper's a little bang. I feel like it's a little bang. I feel like it's not specific enough. The key difference.

Well, you think they write it down? They have the Cajun definition book down there? Yeah. Now, the key difference between a mirepoix and Cajun trinity is that a mirepoix has two parts onion, one part pepper, and one part celery, while the Cajun Trinity is equal parts of all three. Some refer to it as the Holy Trinity or the Pope when you add garlic to the Cajun Trinity. Well, that should have been a bonus one. Oh, that could have been a bonus. Yeah, what's the Pope?

You think you'd have got it? Yes, I would have. Because like I said, we just learned all this. I wouldn't know what the hell you were talking about six months ago. Yeah, same. Brody has wrapped up the victory, but we have one question left. The topic is varmints.

Tell me the name for either a male or female badger. Chester is wearing a Wisconsin Badger shirt, mind you. Tell me the name for either a male or female badger. The victory is wrapped up for Brody. It's so anticlimactic when this happens, man. How could this have happened? Oh, you know what Brody told me

after the one episode he wasn't here? He went back and listened, and he said he would have gotten seven correct and tied you, and he felt as though we should have a tiebreaker for it. This is like when the Bears beat the Patriots super bad in 1984 and you just knew how it was going to end early. It's like the one Super Bowl Steve watched in his entire life.

Does everybody have an answer? Hold on, hold on, hold on. I did watch that one. I think that was the last one I watched. Again, tell me the name for either a male or female badger. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying a vixen, Mike saying a bull, Chester saying a buck, Seth saying a boar, Giannis saying a boar, Steve saying a vixen, and Brent saying a sow.

The correct answer is a male badger is a boar, and a female is a sow. Ooh, me and Brody both got it wrong. I was going after Bucky the badger. What were they, boar and sow? Boar and sow. Badgers are boars and sows. Other animals referred to as boars and sows include hedgehogs,

mink, pandas, raccoons, skunks, and of course, bears. You're wrong about mink, buddy. A buck mink is a buck mink. You don't know what you're talking about. That throws this whole thing into question. Here's the issue. Here's why I chose badger, because that one

has agreed upon terms, but squirrel, for example, does not. Some, when you look it up, some say squirrel is a buck and a doe. Others say it's a boar and a sow. Kevin Murphy goes with buck, don a sow. That's why I specifically... Kevin Murphy goes a buck, don't he? Yeah. That's why I specifically went with badger on this one because there's no... Nobody calls him a buck.

Steve is the last of the old mink men. I don't know if you knew this or not. Who knows? I'm the last of the old mink men. We call him Minky now. Alright, Brody, what do you do with all your money? Well, that's Spencer's job. Can it go to our land access initiative? Oh, yes, dude. There we go. Brody, what do you do with all your money? Well, that's Spencer's job. Can it go to our land access initiative? Oh, yes, dude.

There we go. Brody, where's that money going? We're going to put it right back into Meat Eater's land access initiative. And you're telling me that the last episode, you guys just talked about the land access initiative? That's right. Good on you, Brody. I like it. Brody, I got to hand it to you, buddy.

That was a good performance, man. Thank you. You were real forward about it. Brody, I got to hand it to you, buddy. That was a good performance, man. Thank you. You were real forward about it. Well, listen, looking back on it all, I recognize you. That was a hell of a performance. Thank you. Some tough-ass questions. Phil, how many points does Steve get? Not many. Let's see here.

Steve and Brent tied, by the way. You put them in second place with six. No one pays attention to a rivalry when it's a rivalry among the losers. The mediocre. It's like a close rivalry for third place. Yeah, and this is like Talladega Nights, right?

Like, you're either first or you're last. Yeah, you don't get like a $50 donation for second place. It's an all or nothing deal. You don't even get a medal. God, Brody's a formidable participant. Like, I like having him here, but I don't like having him here, you know what I mean?

Now, we got a small... We got ways to go to catch up to you. You're right there. We got a small Meteor Trivia hiatus, but more trivia coming at you soon after that. He's got to do better sign-offs than that You're trying to host the damn thing What are you looking for?

What do you want? Like something Make a slogan for yourself or something, man And with that, I'm Spencer Newhart Brody Defeat Steve Sign it off Spencer Newhart Something like

Till then, ladies and gentlemen See you next time Over and out this is Spencer Newhart something like that yeah don't get your nuts yeah don't get

coming in the next episode of Media Trivia we're gonna have an answer about what would happen if Chester was running from the cops crawled over a fence and got his scrotum

stuck between the planks Planks.
