Hey folks, exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
You might not be able to join our raffles and sweepstakes and all that because of raffle and sweepstakes law, but hear this.
OnX Hunt is now in Canada. It is now at your fingertips, you Canadians.

Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia. I am your host, Spencer Newarth, and we are joined by all sorts of special guests today.
We've got Chef Kevin Gillespie, Swimmy, Kimmy Werner, Duck Nerd Sean Weaver,
and graphics guy Hunter Spencer, who has deemed today's round the April 1st Battle of Bozeman
with his latest design.
I didn't realize you were sitting right there.
Has everyone seen the poster that I plastered up? Yeahed yeah no i keep wanting to take a nice picture of
it can i just get the artwork of it when uh when i was coming to the office today i saw some guy
we get a lot of foot traffic by our place going to a local coffee shop somebody stopped and they
read it for like two minutes and they walked away looking more confused than before when they didn't know what it was.
I can imagine.
I didn't know this was an MMA joint.
Oh, yeah.
Now, I've been sticking these all over the office.
If you want to see it for yourself,
you can go to Instagram and check out
either at Spencer Newarth or at Brody J. Henderson
to see the old-timey boxing poster
between the Michigan menace and
the Colorado kid.
Now this is trivia.
You're not going to get from jeopardy or trivial pursuit or any bar and grill
trivia.
These are born out of the four verticals.
If I'm the Michigan menace,
he should be the Pennsylvania kid.
It's okay.
Here's why.
Hunter was working with what he had.
The Pennsylvania peckerhead.
Pugilist. Pennsylvania Pugilist
Pennsylvania Pugilist
In combat sports
It's sometimes common
For somebody to list
The area they train out of
Rather than where they're from
When I was a kid
Brock Lesnar was the biggest thing in WWE
And I took so much pride
That he hailed from Webster, South Dakota.
But I felt so betrayed that when he would walk out and they'd show his little bio,
it said Minneapolis, Minnesota.
That's not where he's from.
That's where he trained from.
Well, I thought he was an MMA guy.
He was WWE and MMA.
He was phenomenal in WWE, just average at MMA.
You've driven by his parents' place.
You mean he was good at fake stuff and not good at real stuff.
He was a great heel,
good on the mic, looked good in the ring,
loved Brock Lesnar.
Phenomenal college wrestler, actually.
Yeah, and he went to, what was it,
Minnesota? Had a stint with
the Vikings. That's enough about Brock Lesnar.
Steve, what are
the four verticals
of Meat Eater? I'll say
it once again and I'll explain why I think
that we shouldn't do this.
Hunting, fishing,
conservation,
and culinary. And I'll explain once again.
However, that has nothing
to do, has a little bit to do with the trivia show,
but not a lot. I'll explain again.
That one time I had heard that like 20% of your listeners on a given moment are brand new.
Mine or someone's?
What's that?
Mine?
I had heard that on a radio show, a sports radio show.
That was covering our show?
No, no, no.
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
They're saying generally.
Sure.
Okay.
So I don't want to leave those folks in the dark.
But after months, I can't believe you haven't come up with a better way of explaining what the trivia show's about.
I've got a bone to pick with your conservation questions, too, because every one is about national parks.
Like, they have nothing to do with, like—
That's not true.
I have some public land ones.
We've had a couple national parks ones.
There's a lot of national park questions.
Brody, it's like fly trap, right?
You suck all the people into certain spots,
and it keeps the rest of the nation pretty.
Yeah, keep going to those national parks.
Now there is a prize.
Meteor will donate $500 to the conservation organization
of the winner's choosing.
We've played 10 times so far.
Steve has won four times.
Brody has won three times.
And Clay, Seth, and Giannis have each won once.
Oh, we're going to try to get a title sponsorship,
a title sponsor for the trivia show.
Yep.
But the deal is the title sponsor has to match the $500.
Looking forward to it.
We're going to be sending a lot of money.
So if your listeners know anyone who wants to be the title sponsor.
Some folks want their question read so badly
When they send in meat eater questions
They'll be like
If Steve gets this wrong
I'll donate $20 to Land Access Initiative
Red Beard Restaurants will sponsor this
If we quadruple the number of culinary questions
So that I might actually win
We can do a whole episode
Sponsored by Red Beard Restaurants
Now last game Giannis asked if a human could be suspended by their testicles in a fence
the same way that we've seen it happen to squirrels and possums.
To answer that question, I reached out to Dr. Alan Lazara.
Resident physician.
And presented him with this scenario.
A 19-year-old, 140-pound Chester Floyd has had seven bush lights
and was just at a house party that got busted by cops.
He's been running for two blocks when he approaches an 8-foot-tall fence
that he attempts to scale.
But disaster strikes when Chester loses his balance at the fence's summit.
You see, Chester decided to go commando tonight,
and he just ripped his Wranglers, exposing his manhood
that gets wedged
between the fence's steel planks
as Chester falls headfirst toward the earth.
His manhood or his testicles?
Can they be the same thing?
I think of them as separate.
I mean, they're like a package unit.
His testicles.
His chesticulars, if you will.
They get wedged between the fence's steel plates
as Chester falls headfirst toward the earth.
Here is Dr. Alan Lazara explaining what happens next.
Experience being the first and greatest of all teachers in my clinical experience with straddle injuries
and anecdotal experience hearing stories growing up, scrotums that hit fences tear, they don't hang.
Especially in this case, those steel plates would more likely act like knives
and have bolstered Chester's testicles right off.
If in a good situation, Chester's scrotum just tore,
he'd need an ER evaluation, ultrasound of his testicles,
and a retrograde urethragram or an MRI
to make sure his urethra didn't sustain an injury.
And ultimately, he's gonna need a urologist
to take him to the OR for surgical repair.
But to answer the question, if Chester could hang by his sack, I went and found a French
study that used human cadaver back skin to test the dynamic tensile properties of human
skin.
Now in this study, they found the mean ultimate tensile strength was around 4,000 pounds per
square inch.
And I tried the calculations for Chester's scrotum on my own, but my physics are a little
rusty and I don't want to bore Steve with the math. But by my calculations, Chester's theoretical scrotum could sustain a
static hang. That doesn't take into account the running acceleration, different types of skin,
angle of strain, or any tears in the skin that usually occur during a hasty escape.
So the most likely scenario is Chester's sack would rip or tear, but yes, it seems possible
he could be suspended by his scrotum in a very specially designed and gentle fence. So there you have it, Chester.
We can do it. I'd like to put one of Chester's testicles in the Bratzler.
Are you willing to donate, Chester? Absolutely not. Unless I end up having like,
no, no, absolutely not.
That's another scientific publication.
That's another test we need to do.
Some Rocky Mountain oysters.
So you heard it straight from Dr. Alan Nazara.
Yes, it is possible, but not likely.
When I had one of our daughters being born, her birthday is 12-11-12, and one of the nurses commented to me that tomorrow will be a nuthouse down here.
And I said, why is that?
She said, because people are going to want 12-12-12. 11-11, it was a nut house and they spent the whole day sending people home who were trying to
act like they were in labor
to land a sweet birth date.
Point being,
I wonder if people
show up down at, now that Adam
Lazara, right? I wonder if people
listen to the show. Alan.
What did I just call him? Adam. You do that every time.
I did not. I said Alan. You said Adam.
Bullshit. Play it back every time. I did not. I said Alan. You said Adam. Bullshit.
All the gloves are coming off.
Play it back, Phil.
This is a good start.
We haven't even got to the questions yet.
Play it back, Phil.
I wonder if people show up down at another Adam Lazara, right?
See?
Okay, there's one option for Phil, depending.
Or, well, I meant to say Alan. There's another option for phil depending or well i meant to say alan there's another option thank you uh i want people show up down there with self-inflicted or feigning injuries just
to meet the the legend himself and then hope he gets talked about here we're just yeah it'd be
like i hear about this guy all the time i'm gonna go down there and act like i got hurt
people are just gonna text him photos hanging from a fence'd be like, I hear about this guy all the time. I'm going to go down there and act like I got hurt.
People are just going to text him photos hanging from a fence and be like, I got the toughest sack in the biz.
Actually, someone already did that.
Oh, good.
All right, go on, Spencer.
And we are on to Meat Eater Trivia.
Play the drop, Phil.
Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Everything.
How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that?
You stand to win everything.
Game on, suckers!
All right.
Question one.
This is going to be multiple choice, as always.
And the topic is Mountain Men.
Well, I feel like real quick.
One sec. Kimmy topic is mountain men. Well, I feel like real quick. One sec.
Kimmy's never played before.
She said she's listened to the podcast.
I listened to one.
She studied up.
I don't think I'm going to do very well.
I wanted to honor your presence more.
Oh, thank you.
Because, Hunter, you played.
I have.
Did you get whooped?
I did good until about halfway through, and then the wheels fell off. So you got whooped? You can just until about halfway through and then the wheels fell off.
So you got whooped?
You can just say yes.
I have no shame in that.
Okay.
So are you nervous?
I was, but not anymore.
No.
I feel ready.
All right, everybody.
Kimmy Werner.
I feel honored that you're nervous, though.
I was.
Find her on Instagram at Kimmy Swimmy, but not normal Kimmy.
K-I-M-I.
Question one. though under an instagram at kimmy swimmy but not normal kimmy k-i-m-i a question one as always is multiple choice and the topic is mountain men according to some accounts kit carson's last
words were wish i had time for just one more blank is it kiss from my third wife, Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, bowl of chili or Mexican sunset?
Now, these are the last words from Kit Carson, a famous frontiersman.
And the quote is, wish I had time for just one more blank.
Is it kiss from my third wife, Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, Bowl of Chili, or Mexican Sunset?
Steve, you're not familiar?
No, and I read Blood and Thunder.
Where does Kit Carson rank in your...
Not high.
No, not high?
No.
Okay.
Very interesting dude, but I don't rank him high as a mountain man.
Oh, okay.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and...
Oh, hold on. Chester's erasing.
Had a change of heart.
Are you ready? If it makes you feel better, I went with what
I want it to be, not what I think it is.
Go ahead and reveal your
answers. We have Cal
saying Bowl of Chili. You gotta write
it out. Bowl of Chili. Kevin saying Bowl
of Chili. Chester
Chester, what are you doing? Chester saying
Mexican Sunset. Steve saying Bowl of Chili. Chester. Chester, what are you doing? Chester saying Mexican Sunset.
Steve saying Bowl of Chili.
Hunter saying Rocky Mountain Rendezvous.
Kimmy saying Bowl of Chili.
Brody saying Kiss from My Third Wife.
Corinne saying Bowl of Chili.
And Sean saying Mexican Sunset.
The correct answer is Bowl of Chili.
Yes!
The room did very well.
Man, Kit Carson,
unbelievable character.
Unbelievable character.
That's not what he asked me.
Yeah, but stack him up against any mountain man.
If he said rank him among scouts,
rank him among great Western scouts,
I'd be like, oh, very high.
But as a mountain man,
I don't rank him that high.
Carson died in 1868 in Colorado.
This is antiquated thinking, people.
After falling off of a horse that caused an aneurysm.
In the last hours, he ate a buffalo steak, drank a pot of coffee, and smoked his pipe.
Some say his final sentence was, wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili,
while other sources claim his dying words were, doctor, compadre, adios.
I like the first one, though.
I know he put in a request for that buffalo steak on his deathbed.
How do you know that?
Blood and thunder.
We are on to question two.
The topic is turkeys.
This next great question comes to us via Eric McGee.
If you have a question you think is right for MeDeeter Trivia,
you can send it to trivia at TheMeDeeter.com.
Was he married three times?
I know he's married twice.
He was.
I know he was married three times.
He married a Native American woman.
She died.
He sent their child from that union off somewhere
and then married a woman from Mexico, right?
I think he maybe had two Native American wives,
and then the third one was from Mexico.
We're on to question two.
The topic is turkeys.
Again, via Eric McGee.
An immature male turkey is called a jake.
What is the name for an immature female turkey?
An immature male turkey is a jake.
What do you call An immature female turkey
You know it Brody
I believe I do
Okay
We'll find out
Some quick answers
And some no answers
Brody what did you have
For that last one
I got it wrong

That'll get him.
That'll get him.
Does everybody have an answer?
No.
No, because I can't think of the word I'm trying to think of.
I don't want to hold the whole show up.
Everybody reveal your answers.
We have Cal.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Too late.
I'm not looking at anybody.
He's looking at my eyeballs.
How's that?
Cal, you got to go higher for me here.
Help me out.
Sorry.
Cal's saying, I don't know what he even wrote down.
That's fine.
Kevin without an answer.
Chester without an answer.
Steve saying, sure.
A Susie.
Susie.
Hunter without an answer.
Kimmy saying a Jane.
Brody saying a Jenny.
Corinne saying a Jenny.
I've heard you say it.
And Sean without an answer. The correct answer is a Jenny, Corinne saying a Jenny, and Sean, without an answer,
the correct answer is a Jenny.
Ah, damn it!
And now we're even.
I feel like Jane is so close.
Damn it, man.
I was thinking Jenny, but there's a Ginny Mule, right?
Which is like the opposite of what you get when you...
You know what I'm talking about.
When you take a donkey and a horse, right? And if it's a male, it's a blank. Cal, you know what I'm talking about. When you take a donkey and a horse,
right? And if it's a male,
it's a blank.
Cal, you know what I'm talking about. Where's Clay?
I get you.
A genie mule is like something or another. I don't know.
I actually killed a bearded genie a few years
ago in South Dakota. And just like
with Jake's, a genie's tail fan is
longer in the middle and shorter on the sides.
This is because when juvenile turkeys molt at the end of summer, they only replace their middle tail feathers.
If you want to see that picture of that bearded Jenny I killed, I put it up on my Instagram at Spencer Newharth.
My wife's new hunting code name, she doesn't like it, but it's the bearded hen.
Hates it.
She doesn't like that.
You know what your daughter said when I asked her about killing a bearded hen the other day?
She said she didn't like it because there wasn't much meat on it.
I've been trying to sell her on it, but she's mildly disappointed.
Good on her.
Question three.
The topic is dogs.
According to the United Kennel Club, there are seven types of coon hounds.
Name one of them According to the UKC
There are seven types of coonhounds
Name one of them
I feel like you should ask for two
Yeah, that's a pretty stupid
I don't know, nope, nope, just say one
You guys want to lob any other insults out there?
We got time.
That's a softball, man.
It's a real softball.
Watch Brody gets it wrong.
Does everybody have the softball answer?
No red fern grows in your family?
Shh.
Damn it, Cal.
That's like two infractions.
One, he's still writing after everyone revealed their thing, and now he's throwing out hints.
Everyone else had an answer.
He was just like, I feel like that.
It's like two infractions.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying a red tick.
Cal, I'm going to ask you again.
This is your third infraction.
You got to raise up your whiteboard. Kevin saying blue tick. Chester saying blue tick. Kel, I'm going to ask you again. This is your third infraction. You got to raise up your whiteboard.
Kevin saying blue tick.
Chester saying blue tick.
Steve saying a walker.
Hunter saying a plot.
Kimmy saying a greyhound.
Brody saying a blue tick.
Corinne saying a blue tick.
Very confused.
Sean saying a blue tick.
The room did very well.
The UKC recognizes the American leopard, the black or tan, the blue tick, the the Blue Tick, the English, the Plots,
the Red Bones, and the Treeing Walkers.
It's not Black
or. Is it Black or or Black and?
It says Black or Tan.
What's this Leopard thing you're talking about?
American Leopard. I don't know.
The UKC even has a Coonhound Hall of Fame
which has been around since 2012.
Of the 51 Coonhounds in the
Hall of Fame, 17 are treeing walkers and 16 are blue ticks.
They lead the Coonhound group.
Yeah.
In Michigan, that was like, I don't know anybody that didn't have a walker.
But then what Clay uses is plots, don't he?
Yeah.
So I actually texted Clay this morning and asked what he has.
He has plots and feists, which feists must not be a compound.
No, they're squirrel dogs.
Where I'm from, everybody has red bones.
Is that right?
In Georgia, yeah.
The whole Mingus has a blue tick.
Phil, so I got that wrong.
I already got it.
A red tick.
What the hell is that?
All full of blood.
It's combo.
It's crossbreed.
All full of blood.
Yeah, that's the fun part about these hound folks.
They talk more about
how they came up with their
dog versus what their dog is.
You know what I mean?
We're on to question four.
The topic is fishing.
This next great question comes to us via Jacob Zutterman.
If you have a question you think is right for
MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to Trivia
at TheMeatEater.com. What do people get when you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
What do people get when you accept their question?
Nothing yet, but we are working on creating a listener question of the week that will be sent a prize.
We don't have that lined up yet, but soon.
Keep sending in these great questions.
These three states that border each other are the only states in America with a flathead catfish record over 100 pounds.
Name one of them.
Hit me again.
These three states that border each other are the only states in America
with a flathead catfish record over 100 pounds.
Name one of these states.
Name only one. Just only one.
Just name one.
Don't go thinking it's a blue cat.
It's a flathead.
A flathead over 100 pounds.
I have a clarifying question,
but I don't know if I can ask it.
No, no, no.
I think it's a flawed question., but I don't know if I can ask it. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's a flawed question.
I think I provided all the necessary details.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yep.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying Kentucky, Kevin saying Mississippi,
Chester saying Iowa, Steve saying Missouri, Hunter saying Kentucky,
Kimmy saying Louisiana, Brody saying South Carolina, Corinne saying
Missouri, and Sean saying Oklahoma.
Ask your answer.
Is that the answer or not?
Go on.
If you want to talk with Steve
on his answers, you can write into
defensive at themeatbeater.com
The correct answers are Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri.
Hey!
What you have, Brody?
Damn it.
Don't you worry about it, man.
The biggest state record flathead was caught in 1998 from Elk City Reservoir of Kansas.
The angler was fishing for crappie using a bobber and minnow when he hooked into the 123-pound flathead.
He said he likely wouldn't have landed the fish, but a fierce wind had waves rolling into shore directly at him.
After about a 20-minute fight, the catfish helplessly got caught in the waves and allowed the man to drag it to the bank.
What would be your clarifying question?
Because all three states touch each other.
I was wondering if noodling counts versus rod and reel. I don't think anybody's noodling a hundred pound because you're because your
knowledge of this is so nuanced no no no no no not at all but because i would figure that people
would catch bigger ones noodling but i don't know if that's true at all. I think you'd have trouble wrestling a 100 pounder.
Now you're going to get a lot of noodling
enthusiasts.
Brody's going to have a new head.
First year Brody won't be able to walk down the road.
Noodling dog owners.
I don't got anything against noodling.
I met some fellas in Kentucky
that I would think would be just fine.
And they probably own blue ticks.
We are on to question 5. The topic is cooking.
After this question, we will get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer.
What fast food chain sold venison sandwiches as a hunting season promotion in 2016 and 2017?
Fairly confident room.
What fast food chain sold venison sandwiches as a hunting season promotion in
2016 and 2017?
I'm making Phil's job easier. He doesn't have to put that in.
Are we waiting on Chester?
This fast food chain sold venison sandwiches as a hunting season promotion in 2016 and 2017.
Brody looks depressed.
Uh-oh.
No, don't give me hints.
A colonel.
Does everybody have an answer?
He's a former military man.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying Arby's.
Kevin saying Arby's. Arby's, Arby Cal saying Arby's. Kevin saying Arby's.
Arby's, Arby's, Arby's.
Kimmy saying Carl's Jr.
Brody saying Arby's, Arby's, Arby's.
Arby's is the correct answer.
Why do you look so depressed, Brody?
Because I'm digging myself out of a hole, man.
In 2016, the deer meat sandwiches sold out in 15 minutes at an Arby's in Minnesota
and 90 minutes at an Arby's in Georgia.
I think it was all New Zealand red deer.
It was.
It did come from New Zealand.
That year, they were only available at 17 locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Tennessee, and Georgia.
But it was so popular that when they did the promotion again in 2017, they did it in all 50 states and even added an elk sandwich to the menu for Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.
I protested it at the time and I'd protest it again.
They sent out, I know you got them too, but they sent out seasonings and they were actually
legit.
They were good.
Arby's did?
Yeah.
For venison?
I don't mind the red deer thing much, but I mind the elk thing greatly.
Why?
I don't think you should, I don't think they should do that to elk. Yeah, but I mind the elk thing greatly. Why? I don't think
they should do that to elk.
Yeah, but you're not protesting.
Turn him into a sandwich? No.
I think the elk should be wild and free.
Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update. We are halfway
through the game of trivia. Sure thing. I'm pretty sure this
is accurate, but this is the most full
room we've had. I'll tell you if it has me
up top, it's accurate.
Alright, Kimmy Werner has
one point. Nice, Kimmy. Coming up
next, we have Hunter,
Sean, Cal, and Chester
with two points.
Kevin and Brody each have three
points. Steve Rinella
has four. And in
first place is Corinne
Schneider. Oh, no way. Nice.
Corinne! Oh my god! Should we. Nice. Corinne, oh my God.
Should we just quit playing?
What about those question marks?
That's not a question mark.
Yeah, but the question marks,
I'd knock off a half point.
She'd still be winning, by the way.
Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.

We are on to question six. The topic
is gear. This next great question
comes to us via FHF Zone
Rick Hutton. If you have a question you think is right
for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia
at themeateater.com. Now,
if folks think this is redundant that I always
have to tell them to send it to trivia at themeateater.com,
Corey Calkins, who runs our
regular inbox, gets about 10 of these emails a
day. I get about 5 Instagram
DMs a day. So, listen close
here. Trivia at themeateater.com.
I'm going to keep repeating that.
Wait till Corey starts getting flooded with things that say test my meat.
Yeah, you just.
All cats. When it comes to the 30-30 Winchester, the first 30 represents the caliber of the bullet.
What does the second 30 represent?
This is from FHF Zone, Rick Hutton.
The first 30
in the 30-30 Winchester
is the caliber of the bullet.
What is the second 30?
Not a super confident room.
How you feeling, Brody?
Very good.
Oh, okay.
He didn't say cocky.
He said good. He said good. Oh, okay. Not Steve. You feel cocky? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he is. He didn't say cocky. He said good.
He said good.
So good because Steve looks confused.
Well, I know it's one of two things is the problem.
Give me a second.
Okay, I don't like it, but I got one down.
Does everybody have an answer?
Corinne's still scribbling.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Cal has his phone out as well.
Cal says grains of powder.
Kevin says grains of powder.
Chester says how much powder.
Steve says 1930.
Hunter says powder.
Kimmy says the diameter.
Brody says the powder.
Corinne says the powder.
And Sean without an answer.
The correct answer is 30 grains of smokeless powder.
So the room did very well.
That wasn't even my second choice.
Well, what would have been your second choice?
You know how the 45-70 is like casing length and stuff like that?
Isn't that?
Or is that another powder charge?
There's some that has a casing length, but it wouldn't make any sense.
The 30-30 Winchester has competed in two caliber battles
written by Jordan Sillers on TheMeteor.com.
Once against the.35 Remington and once against the.350 Legend
in a battle of the best lever action cartridges.
If you want to know the winners, and I promise you do,
and learn a ton about these calibers,
go to the website and type in.30-30 Winchester.
Corinne had it right.
She got it right.
What specifically did you have?
She said grains of powder.
I saw a lot of stuff on there.
I put grains, and then I put powder.
Why are you so interested in what Corinne's writing down there?
She's picking it up.
She's just like, oh, I see the drugs.
Now it's changed from Brady to Corinne.
In the Olympics, they're probably not drug testing the piss out of people that didn't even do good.
My experience with 30-30, you can miss seven times.
The 30-30?
Didn't you have a, what did you have, a 32?
I had, well, my first, yeah, I had a Model 94 and 32 Special.
That's cool.
Stubby little thing.
That's an old trapper gun.
And I had a peep sight, and it had a a reducer in it and it started getting dark at night.
You always had to back that reducer out.
Yeah.
But I killed some deer with it.
Yeah.
That's that shell casing I found in BC with the 32, right?
You know what I did?
I sold it to a, a place that sold guns and wood stoves.
I got ripped.
I sold for 300 bucks.
Cause I wanted a bolt action 30 out six. Stupidest thing I ever did. Sold for 300 bucks. Because I wanted a bolt-action
.30-06.
Stupidest thing I ever did.
And here's the funny thing,
it was given to me.
But the.06 is a great one
for this conversation, right?
Because that's a.30 caliber
produced in 1906.
That's correct.
Good follow-up.
That was in the first game
of trivia we ever played.
We're on to question seven.
The topic is conservation.
According to the USGS, there are five states west of the Mississippi River in the lower 48 where CWD hasn't been detected.
Name two of them.
This is according to the USGS, who just updated the map about a week ago.
There are five states west of the Mississippi River in the lower 48
where CWD hasn't
been detected. Name two
of them.
A fairly
confident room.
Seems like. What you putting down,
Brody?
This is a tough one, man.
Looking for
two of the five states.
I don't like this question.
Why?
Because I don't know the answer.
Does everybody have an answer?
I don't like the ones he knows.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying Arizona and New Mexico.
Kevin saying New Mexico and Arizona.. Kevin saying New Mexico and Arizona.
Chester saying New Mexico and Nevada.
Steve saying California and Nevada.
Hunter saying Arizona and New Mexico.
Kimmy saying Hawaii and Cali.
Brody saying Arizona and Cali.
That was a good move.
I said the number 48.
Oh, that was a bad move.
Corinne with just California.
And Sean saying Arizona and Oregon.
The correct answer is Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and Arizona.
It's in New Mexico?
Corinne, what'd you have?
Let me see.
I didn't put down two.
Couldn't think of another state. I put down one.
Everyone needs to study cwd-info.org.
Just Jim Heffel fingers.
Phil.
That's everybody. CWD-info.org. Just Jim Heffel fingers. Phil.
That's everybody.
Oklahoma almost makes the list,
but CWD has been detected there in captive herds of deer.
Between the disease's presence in deer farms and the wild herds of every state surrounding it,
it's sadly just a matter of time before hunters there start encountering CWD.
I think you've got to retract that.
What do you mean almost makes the list?
Yeah, exactly.
Like it's there.
It seems like it'd be like binary.
But it's only been found in like two deer farms.
So they haven't found in any wild deer yet.
And we know that, you know, once it's in a deer, it just stays there.
Is there any states left East of the Mississippi?
A lot of the New England, there's only like 30 states at this point that have it.
And they're all together.
So a lot of New England,
a lot of the southeast, Florida and the states
around it, and then obviously the west.
Hey, when we launch our board game,
be mindful of questions that are
likely to change rapidly.
I think Mississippi was just added
to the list yesterday.
Don't put that in the board game. Oh man, if I put Mississippi, I'd to the list like yesterday. So what happens? Don't put that in the board game.
Okay.
Oh, man.
If I put Mississippi, I'd be so mad right now.
We are on to question eight.
We will get another scoreboard update after this.
The topic is fishing.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, this is the smallest and most abundant of the major commercial tuna species.
According to the World Wildlife Fund,
this is the smallest and most abundant of the major commercial tuna species.
Confident room.
So far.
Think you got this one, Kimmy?
I do.
I really hope so.
This one plays to Kimmy's strengths right here.
Does everybody have an answer?
It's going to be crushing if you mess it up.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying Albacore.
Kevin saying Albacore.
Chester saying Bonita.
Steve saying Yellowfin.
Hunter saying Yellowfin.
Kimmy saying Skipjack.
Brody saying Albacore. Corinne saying skipjack, and Sean saying bonita.
The correct answer is skipjack.
Ah, damn it.
Dang.
I don't know how I forgot skipjack.
Just Kimmy and Corinne.
Yeah.
Corinne got it?
Corinne is crushing right now.
Skipjack out of a can?
Corinne, this is awesome.
That's what tuna fish is.
Although their meat isn't as prized.
Oh, yeah.
All I'm ever reading about is how damn many yellow fin are out there and how there's more than ever.
True, but not as much as skipjack.
What's the difference between skipjack and albacore?
They're two different species.
They are.
Totally different.
Although their meat isn't as prized as other types of tuna, Kimmy Werner has all kinds of great ways to cook them.
If you go to her YouTube channel and type in skipjack tuna, you'll see how she serves the fish for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. It was a great video.
Who are you going to donate your money to, Corinne?
I mean, if. Well, we got a scoreboard update.
Let's hear the scoreboard update from Phil.
I once caught
a skipjack on a spinning rod
and then a marlin ate it
before I could get it back to the boat.
Did you eat the marlin?
Yeah, if I would have seen it again.
Does anyone know if albacore is the same as bonita?
Albacore is not the same.
It is not.
And bonita is not the same as skipjack either.
What's star-kissed?
Is that albacore?
Well, they have both.
So what's a bonita?
Is it a mackerel?
Something like a wavy tuna, I think they have both. So what's a bonita? Wait, isn't bonita a mackerel?
It's something like a wavy tuna, I think they call it.
But it looks like a skipjack, but it's different.
It's bloodier.
Even bloodier than a skipjack.
And skipjack is like what most cans of tuna are,
but they do have cans that are albacore,
and they'll be marked albacore, and it's lighter and drier.
Yeah.
All right, final scoreboard update for the April 1st battle in Bozeman.
Steven Ranilla is in third place with five points.
Oh, my goodness, man. Brody Henderson has six.
And in first place is Corinne with seven points.
Corinne.
We got two questions left.
Question nine.
The topic is foraging.
This next great question comes to us via Ben Arisman.
If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia,
you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
What foraged item has the nickname Green Gold
because it's worth about $500 per pound?
What foraged item goes by the nickname Green Gold
because it's worth about $500 per pound?
God, I'd hate to be Kevin on this one.
Again, it's referred to as Green Gold and it's worth $500 per pound.
A fairly stumped room
so far. Has anybody written down an answer?
I got one down, buddy.
Corinne, come on.
I have one thing
that's special against all y'all.
What, you cheating?
Oh, she's Asian.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who did that? Oh, she's Asian. Yeah. Okay.
Oh, don't be a gay man. Don't change your answer.
Who is that?
Who is that?
That is an infraction.
That'd be your friend Cal again.
That's an infraction.
That is total infraction.
Oh, look at all this.
Listen, man.
We need a new question.
After Cal said that, about four people went to their whiteboard.
I was already...
That is total...
That's like, we need to start penalizing people.
You know, I am going to take a video of this.
You can't start cheating.
Point of order.
Over the line.
I think most folks think of Cal as being a quiet guy,
but we get immediate trivia.
Can't help himself.
Does everybody have an answer?
Mine's not right. Everybody does now.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Cal saying...
What does that say, Cal?
Kevin saying ginseng.
Chester without an answer.
Steve saying ginseng.
Ginseng. Ginseng.
Brody saying ramps.
I didn't change mine after the infraction.
Corinne saying ginseng exclamation point.
And Sean saying ginseng.
The correct answer is ginseng.
That $500 per pound is the dehydrated way.
It takes...
Oh, Steve's face.
Like, you know when they had to do the Nuremberg trials
And they would put the people in the
You have to do the trial in a glass box
So people can't hear what you're ranting or raving about
Cal needs to play in a box
He can sit outside the studio and just look at us
Now that $500 per pound is the dehydrated weight.
It takes about three pounds of wet ginseng to get a pound of dry ginseng.
Some states categorize ginseng as endangered, while others listed as vulnerable or threatened.
Population declines have been credited to overharvest by humans and booming herds of
whitetails.
And you don't feel like that dehydrated detail was important enough to include in there?
No.
Oh, you know what?
A little feedback.
Uh-huh.
Constructive feedback.
Okay.
You know how you do that little tidbit afterward?
You tell something interesting?
Yeah, yeah.
I would include it about when Daniel Boone
lost a fortune of ginseng.
Oh, tell us about it.
He spent all his time digging and buying ginseng
and put it in a keelboat
and swamped the keelboat
and lost a fortune of it.
It was one of his several major
financial calamities
that turned him into a poor man.
He tried to dry it out
in the bank, but it was just lost.
Some of it.
We have one question left.
Give us another scoreboard update, Phil.
Well, Corinne's got it in the bag.
She has eight points, and Brody and Steve have six.
All right.
But Brody and Steve are tied up, so I think they still need to play this out.
Yeah, we still got the Battle of Bozeman going on here.
Where did Corinne come from?
Corinne's never even been on my radar.
Episode one and two, I got like six
or five. Oh, you did? I didn't know you had some
strong performances. Yeah, you just weren't
paying attention. The last question,
which Corinne has already wrapped this up, but again, the battle
of Bozeman between Brody and Steve can still
be decided here.
The topic is conservation.
What Great Lakes state has the most plants and
animals on the endangered species list? What Great Lakes state has the most plants and animals on the
endangered species list? To specify, that means it is a state that touches a Great Lake.
What Great Lakes state has the most plants and animals on the endangered species list?
The room is just playing for second place.
While Corinne thinks about where she's going to donate her $500.
That's a great question.
Oh, it's such a good question.
I had to work hard to find this.
Took a lot of mining of the internet.
Hmm. Does everybody have an mining of the internet. Hmm.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yeah, I do.
Everybody else?
It's a great question.
Cal is erasing, rewriting.
You want to give out a hint here, Cal?
Yeah, you want to do an infraction?
I'll tell you what.
The most endangered... He's like, better fat than I do. Yeah. I'll tell you what the most
endangered
Fresh freshwater mussels
Go ahead and reveal your answers
We got Cal saying
Ohio, Kevin saying New York
Chester saying Wisconsin, Steve saying New York
Hunter saying Minnesota
Kimmy saying Michigan, Brody saying New York,
Corinne without an answer, couldn't think of a Great Lakes
state, and Sean
saying
Michigan.
Kind of.
The correct answer,
which nobody got,
is Illinois.
Illinois is home to
21 endangered species
that are believed to live in the state.
That's followed by Indiana with 18, Ohio with 15, New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin with 12,
Minnesota with 10, and Pennsylvania with 9.
Yeah, let me tell you something, though.
Here's why that's a trick question.
Many are muscles.
Here's why that's a trick question.
Illinois is scoring all that because of the river.
It's not scoring that because of Lake Michigan.
What's the problem?
Because you're sending people down a path of thinking about the lakes.
The problem is he didn't get a-
This is an accurate question.
Yeah.
Trick question.
I picked New York because it had a coastline.
That's what I was doing.
That's what I was doing. I was thinking about rivers. I picked New York for that had a coastline. That's what I was doing. That's what I was doing.
I was thinking about rivers.
I picked New York for that reason.
Trick question.
Either way, you know how when two famous boxers fight to a draw?
No, I don't know.
Is that happening?
A lot of sad things.
Does that happen?
They go to a decision.
They go to a decision.
Corinne is our winner.
Corinne, were you able to score as high as you did,
but then you don't know any states that border the Great Lakes?
I do.
She didn't want to rub it in.
Corinne, this is such a letdown.
Yeah, Corinne's not here to guess.
Corinne, where are you going to donate your $500?
Hold on, hold on, Corinne.
I actually prepared some audio just in case this ever happened,
and man, I'm thrilled that it did
grin you just won meat eater trivia is there anyone you'd like to thank
oh thank you thank you everyone i would like to thank my parents my dog and our very own
spencer new hearth for giving me the answers. Happy April Fool's Day, everyone.
Good one.
You sons of bitches, really.
Wow.
I started thinking, holy cock.
I was like, it's uncanny.
It's unprecedented.
I don't know why people have this reaction.
I thought she had it in her the whole time.
Now, if we want to see who would win between Steve and Brody,
I have a tiebreaker ready since you guys tied with six correct.
Anybody else get six?
Nope.
Okay.
So we're going to put you guys to a tiebreaker right now. So now it's back to us being.
It's back to you guys.
Karina's going to pick where the money goes.
But it is back.
I think this is so rigged.
To the April 1st Battle of Bozeman.
Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
By the way, I hate these number questions.
It's just like guessing.
If I win, I'm picking.
Nah.
Nah.
Karina's picking.
Okay.
You guys ready?
Yeah. Is everyone playing guys ready? Yeah.
Is everyone playing for fun?
Yeah. You play whatever you want.
The only two that matter are Brody and Steve.
I have a list in front of me of the 400 tallest mountains
in North America. Here's what we're
going to do for the tiebreaker. Start over.
Okay, I got it. I got it.
I have a list
in front of me of the 400 tallest mountains in North America.
Here's what we're going to do for the tiebreaker.
You are going to write down the two tallest mountains you can think of on the continent.
We will then add up the elevation for both,
and whoever has the highest number will be declared the winner.
If you both happen to write down the same mountains,
then we will keep going until someone is victorious.
So Brody and Steve, writing the tallest mountains that they can think of to see who
gets second place to Corinne.
Promise.
I don't know if I want him to say it.
Steve will get mad.
It's adding the two highest.
The two highest.
That's a great question.
That is a great question. That is a great question.
Who came up with that?
Me.
That's a great question.
Now, this is going to take a second.
You got to add it up?
I'm going to have to add these up once you guys reveal.
Brody, how we doing?
I don't know.
You got two written down?
Yeah.
Steve, do you have two written down?
The problem is I don't know if they're two different mountains.
Do you have two written down? Yeah, they're different.
Okay.
We will have Brody reveal first.
Show me so I can add up
what your elevation is. He says Denali,
which is the tallest mountain
on the continent. He screwed up.
But he messed up.
McKinley is the same mountain.
So we don't even need to add these up.
Steve says Denali and Pikes.
Let me find.
Well, no, take Denali, and that's his number.
No, I mean, do we really need to add them up at this point?
Take Denali and Pikes, and that's my number.
Let's see how much better my number was.
Pikes is 53rd on the list,
making you the winner by 14,000 feet.
Congratulations.
So we have Corinne is the winner.
Second place, Steve.
So Corinne, where does my money go?
That's right.
Where are we going?
I'd like it to go to the Land Access Initiative or TRCP.
Oh, I was going to suggest Rough Grouse Society,
but maybe we should throw it to...
Well, Ted would be happy about that.
How do you feel, Steve?
I told you how I feel.
Hey, Rough Grouse Society is doing great work on the North American grasslands conservation.
We've never donated any money there.
We haven't donated any money there.
Do it.
Be strong, Corinne.
Rough Grouse.
Rough Grouse.
All right.
Thank you, everybody. Be strong, Corinne. Rough grouse. Rough grouse. All right. Thank you, everybody.
Hold on, hold on.
Now, last time we played,
you weren't satisfied
with my sign-off,
so I came up
with something here.
Oh, great.
And you can judge it
after we do it.
You ready?
Yeah.
Join us next time
