Hey, this is Spencer Newharth, and what you're about to hear isn't a traditional game of Meat Eater Trivia. That's because this was recorded at the Meat Eater live show in Billings, Montana

on May 3rd. We were there to celebrate Steve's new book, Outdoor Kids in an Inside World, which is available right now. Now the event had a roundtable discussion, live music, plenty of prizes, and a bunch of games, which is what you'll get on this podcast. First, you'll hear two truths and a lie hosted by Giannis, an owl hoot off competition hosted by Clay, and a game of Meat Eater Trivia hosted by me. The whole thing was one big party, as evidenced by the fact that we broke the theater's record for concession sales that was previously held by Rob Schneider, which translates to them saying the audience bought a hell of a lot of beer. So crack one for yourself and enjoy the show.

It's a media podcast. So coming on stage now with us to participate in two truths and a lie and trivia is our own Spencer Newhart who's the only guy the only guy that I know who hunts white tails harder than Mark Canyon if you don't know he also hosts Pardon My Plate which is a great show on Meteor's YouTube channel where Spencer makes us all of us eat crazy. Spencer's just coming off of having tried some skunk. And he's, tell him. Me and Clay Newcomb cooked up skunk today, and we spit it out. You know what it tasted like?

It tasted like skunk. I'll just point out, too, if you like to hunt, if you're like a rock hunter and you've been noticing a real paucity of petrified wood and agate around these parts, check that guy's garage, man. It's a good area. All right. So we're going to play some games. We're also going to give away some prizes.

To get into the games and to get into giving away prizes, you guys are going to get picked by looking at your books. We're going to bring up the house lights just a little bit. Every book out there got signed, but 15 of you lucky mugs have a book that on the front cover, inside of the dust jacket, right on the front cover, there is an illustration by Seth's soon-to-be wife,

Kelsey Johnson, who will soon be Kelsey Morris. Yeah, and she did all the illustrations. All the illustrations you see in the book are by Kelsey Johnson. Kelsey, where are you at? Back there, right? Dead center. Dead center.

You're lucky 15. Remember your number. You can bring down the lights again. Oh, yeah, so above the skull somewhere should be a number with a... Everybody see their number next to the skull? That has a skull? Alright, number six.

Six? Hey! Alright! Where are the Daffodils? They're on the top. Oh, they're on the top. Take this down. I'd like to point out this is the Price is Right

theme song. So... They're coming. They're coming. All right, you guys. Way to go. Good job. You can come around. Come on.

Right here. Right here. Welcome. Okay. Yeah, have a seat right here. I want to use this, but I already have a mic, so I'm going to give it to you. Okay. And you can answer my questions.

What's your name? Miranda Boger. Miranda. Thank you for coming down and playing. Got a nice cold beer going on there? Yeah. All right. Grab a seat.

Are you excited to play Two Truths in a Line? Yeah, I'm a little nervous. Good. You should be. We all are up here, too, so you're in good company. Where are you from? Mile City, Montana. All right. all are up here, too. You're in good company. Where are you from? Miles City, Montana. All right.

That's cowboy country. If Steve had it his way, our company would not be in Bozeman. It would be in Miles City, Montana. Really? I spent a couple years there. I loved it. Yeah. But there'd probably be a, I don't know, a revolt or some sort of a war.

You'd get thrown back out. Just a bunch of happy employees. The size of the town had doubled. Yeah. What do they call us? Sixer plates? Sixers. Sixers.

Yeah, Sixers. They'd run us all out. Okay. So, have you heard us play Tooth, Truth, and the Lie before? No, I haven't. On a prior podcast? No. Hold your mic up nice and close.

Okay. There you go. Yeah, you got it. You're doing a good job. Be careful, Giannis. We've learned mic up nice and close. There you go. Yeah, you got it. Be careful, Giannis. We've learned he has a quick temper. Yeah. I want to apologize if he freaks out on me. He doesn't mean it. You're going to hear

three of us tell three stories about famous historical figures from around the West over the last 200 years. And you're going to have to pick out which one of those stories is not true, which one is the lie. So Steve's going to tell a story, Spencer's going to tell a story,

and then I'm going to tell a story. There's some fun facts about these folks, and you're going to have to tell us which one's the lie. Now, lucky for you, after we're all done, we're going to allow you to use the crowd to help you figure out which one is a lie. I want to point out here, there's an honor system at play. No messing around, and you've got to self-police. You've got to rat your neighbors out.

No messing around on phones during this. Don't look anything up. All right. Steve is going to kick us off. Okay. Steve is going to kick us off Miranda everyone knows that Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer died in 1876

54 miles from where we're sitting right now in the Alberta Bear Theater they also know that just three years earlier before his death 30 miles west of the Alberta Bear Theater at a place known They also know that just three years earlier, before his death, 30 miles west of the Alberta Bear Theater,

at a place known to local Native Americans as the place where the mountain lion lies, known to many of us now as Pompeii's Pillar, Custer's troops got into a shootout with Sioux warriors while scouting the route of the railroad that still runs through this town and run through your native hometown. And they know this, they know there's some debate about whether the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors at the Battle of Little Bighorn recognized Custer's dead body on the battlefield. Though a Cheyenne woman did later admit

to using a sewing awl to puncture holes into his eardrums so that in death he would better hear the warnings of her people. And they know that Custer lost two brothers alongside himself at that battle, including a brother that had twice been decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor.

But what they don't know about Custer is that General Custer was not recognized on the battlefield because his long golden hair had been shorn off before leaving on the Little Bighorn campaign. And when he died, he was not known by his hair. But his wife, Libby Custer, later took the hair that he had cut off and had a wig made.

And she would wear that wig at theatrical productions. What a story. Wear that wig at theatrical productions. The end. How are you feeling? Do you think you even need to listen to the other two? You can just make your decision right now. I'll hear the other one. You want to hear the other two? Okay.

Jed Smith, you ever heard of him? No. Jed or Zion Smith. All right, Okay. Jed Smith, you ever heard of him? No. Jed or Zion Smith. All right, well, most know that at the age of 13, he worked as a clerk on a Lake Erie freighter where he met fur traders returning to Montreal, thus fueling his fire to become an explorer. Everybody knows that he was the first Euro-American

to cross the Mojave Desert and the first Euro-American to go overland to California. And they know that Jed Smith was attacked by a grizzly bear, had his scalp ripped off, and his buddy sewed it back on. And for the rest of his life, because of that, he wore his hair long to hide that scar that he had basically from his eye all the way back to his ear. Everybody knows that after his death, his effects showed up in towels, like his journal and his knife. But almost nobody knows that his skull supposedly turned up in a curio shop on Montana Avenue in Billings. The not completely clean skull was identified by the scar and the long hair. An unknown cowboy bought the skull skull and it was never seen again

Spencer now this one's true Everyone knows that big nose George was one of the West's most notorious cattle rustlers now He was kind of your run-of-the-mill horse thief, but his crimes went from petty to felony when he was having a train robbery in Wyoming that was bungled, and he ended up killing two police officers. After that, George had a $20,000 bounty on his head,

so he fled up to your hometown, Mile City, Montana, to hide out. And everyone knows that George was supposed to be laying low while he was in Montana, but he couldn't help himself. While he was here, he ended up robbing another caravan and got away with another $10,000 by the Powder River. At this point, George was feeling cocky. And one night, he got drunker than Ryan Callahan at a saloon in Miles City. And he was bragging about killing those police officers. Now he had this big old bounty on his head and he's robbed all these trains and whatnot. And naturally, it didn't take long for

law enforcement to show up, arrest him, and send him back down to Wyoming. And everyone knows that after that, George was lynched for his crimes. But the legend of Big Nose George doesn't end there, because what people don't know is that some local doctors took possession of his body so that they could study his brain and see what just made him so damn evil. When they were done with their observations, they took his carcass and made a bunch of souvenirs out of it. Here's what they had. This included an ashtray made from his skull, a mask made from his face, a medicine bag made from his chest skin, including his nipples, and a pair of boots made from his thigh skin that were once worn by Wyoming's governor to a ball.

Now, if you want to see him for yourself, you can go find him at some museums in Wyoming and Nebraska. And 150 years later, it's worth asking yourself, who was really the evil one? Was it Big Nose George for being a lifelong criminal? Or was it the doctors who taxidermied his body and turned him into grotesque

trinkets? So if that's not, if that is false, if that is false, then I think that I'm concerned a little bit about Spencer's imagination. If that's not true, I don't want to ride home with that guy. We did just

eat a skunk today. Miranda, do you feel like you know the answer? I think so. Are you going to consult with the crowd? Yeah, I'll consult with the crowd. How big is Miller's East? Oh! No.

So you've got to do the... Oh, no, you're right. The lie is bigger than that. I was wrong. I said the wrong direction. Damn it. Alright, crowd. Who thinks that Steve's story was the lie? Who thinks that my story was the lie? And Spencer's?

All of a sudden. Oh, pretty even. Seems pretty even-keying. I don't know I honestly think it's your story but I don't know that's why I feel like it's a lie Big Nose George is true everything about Big Nose George is true. Really?

Everything about Big Nose George is true. Oh, sorry. No, that's all right. It's true. So you got two left to choose from. Which one was the least believable out of these two? On a set, yours. Truth is stranger than fiction, I guess.

So both of your stories are true. The wig, Libby Custer's wig made of George Custer's hair was lost in a theater fire. Oh. So yours wasn't a lie. No. No? She wore it for theatrical productions.

It was lost in a theater fire. And a northern Cheyenne woman took a sewing awl and sewed it in the future when they said, and a northern Cheyenne woman took a sewing awl and sewed it in the future when they said don't mess with us he'd be better able to listen and Jed Smith was never

recovered they don't know what happened to him but for playing you get a $300 gift certificate to First Light so thank you for participating applause applause thank you for participating. You got a cup? Okay. Well, thank you.

Tonight, we have a very special episode of trivia that is Montana-themed. Sorry, Clay and Missy. I think this is going to be tough for you guys. Now, normally, we have 10 questions, but because we're on a tight schedule,

this game is only going to be four questions. We have one question from each of Meat Eater's four verticals. What are they, Yanni? You always ask me this and don't give me any – I'll tell you. Hunting, fishing, eating, and conservation. That's right. Hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

And we have two prizes tonight. The first one is a $500 conservation organization donation that the winner gets to choose. And the second one is a vortex spotting scope and tripod. So there's a lot on the line. And there's a catch. Our owl hoot off winner gets help from you guys, the audience. So I'm going to read the question. The media crew is going to write down their answers.

Once they're done, the audience is going to yell out their answers for Isaac. But I need the audience to wait for their cue so they're not helping out Brody and Steve. Sound good? It's basically us against Brody and Steve, okay? Us, all of us. We're on to meat eater trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Oh, okay. I need to know what I on to meat eater trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Oh, yep. Okay.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win to everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers. All right, the first question. The topic is hunting. I need you to place these in order of biggest to smallest based on their population in Montana. Elk, mule deer, white tail, and turkey. Again, place these in order of biggest to smallest based on their population in Montana.

We have elk, mule deer, whitetail, and turkey. Now, the crew is going to write down their answers. Once they're all done, they're going to put their boards down, and I'm going to come to you guys to help out Isaac. Ivan. Ivan. I'm sorry, Ivan. It's all right. Ivan, we're going to help out Ivan. Again, elk, mule deer, whitetail, and

turkey. In order. In order, biggest to smallest based on population in Montana. That's not right, Chip. Cajun is a tough one. You done already? That's authority. Listing with authority.

Doesn't mean I'm right. No. All right, media crew, you're running out of time here. Ivan, how are you feeling on that part? Questionable. Mule deer are the ones that have the four on each side. Oh, yeah. I got it.

All right, media crew, put down your markers. No more answering. Now, audience, we need you to help out. What do you think has the biggest population in Montana? You can insult the audience. So they're saying they think... All right, and what do you think is second biggest? A lot of answers out there. All right, third biggest. they think. Alright, and what do you think is second biggest? Elk.

A lot of answers out there. Alright, third biggest? Elk. I heard a lot of elk on that one. And fourth biggest, what is the smallest? So I think the consensus there was elk third and turkey fourth. Is that

what you guys think? I got those two for sure. That's what I heard. That's what you heard? The other ones was kind of a mix. All right, you ready? Everybody reveal your answers. We have Chester saying mule deer, white tail, elk, turkey. Cal saying white tail, mule deer, elk, turkey.

Brody saying mule deer, white tail, elk, turkey. Steve saying white tail, elk, mule deer, turkey. Giannis saying elk, mule deer, white tail, elk, turkey. Steve saying white tail, elk, mule deer, turkey. Giannis saying elk, mule deer, white tail, turkey. Ivan saying white tail, mule deer, elk, turkey. Misty saying mule deer, turkey, white tail, and elk. Clay saying mule deer, elk,

turkey, mule deer, and white tail. You win five of them. That's five. I put five things. That, you are disqualified. Well, he doesn't lie. Hey, Spencer,

before you notice, I have the numbered mine. Okay. Yanis says whitetail. Well, you're wrong. The correct answer is mule deer, whitetail, elk, and turkey. Did anybody get it right?

Oh, my God. Brody got it. Brody got it. Chester and Brody got it right. Ivan? Oh, you got it. I panicked, man. It's close.

Yeah. It's close. You got to win one of these. Again, it was mule deer, white tail, elk, turkey. So Brody's the only one that got it? Just Chester and Brody. No, Chester. Oh, Chester, Brody.

Good job, Chester. Chester. Thanks, guys. So Brody's the only one to go? Just Chester and Brody. Oh, Chester, Brody. Good job, Chester. Chester. We're on to question two. The topic is cooking. This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners in Butte in the 1800s. Baked? Baked.

This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners in Butte in the 1800s. Now hold your answers until I come to you. We're going to see if we can stump these folks first. I got a question, but I can't ask it without giving something to people. So I'm not going to ask. I think what you should be asking yourself is if somebody else asked that question, would you be

angered? Yes. Very bad. Very angered. One more time. This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners in Butte in the 1800s. Does everybody have an answer? Alright, media crew,

put your markers down. Audience, help out Ivan. What do you think it is? Pasties! Say it again. So you can write down pasties. Write down pasties. He said apparently that's the answer, but I didn't know what they said. Well, everybody said the same thing. All right. First row, what's the answer? Pasties. I don't think you should be looking at that. Pastry without the R. All right, everybody reveal your answers.

We have pasty, pasty, pasty, pasty, pasty, baked potato and shepherd's pie. The correct answer is pasties. Now, miners would use their shovels to reheat their pasties over candles they wore on their heads. When everything was eaten but the pie crust ridge, they'd toss it into the mine for the ghosts of dead miners to finish. Ooh.

That's good. Some ghost meal there. We're on to question three. Can we take a quick interlude? This reminds me of a question that I wanted to get to but we didn't get to. But just really quickly, favorite, just around the room real quick, favorite wild game dish as a kid? Like a thing that you were like, that is suitable,

legitimate wild game when you were a kid. I think deep fried walleye. It's delicious. Can't mess it up. I just have to say fried backstrap. Yeah, just simple.

If it's from mom, fried brook trout, you know, like pan fried brook trout. And if it's from Dad, it would be hamburger gravy. Most of it out of a can. Fried fish, and that's what it is for my kids too. Yeah, when we got a deer, we'd always that morning or the next morning slice the heart thin and put it in seasoned flour

and cook that in oil or butter and buy kids like that now. Interesting. Yeah. So I sold it pretty heavy and we put ketchup on it. I was not served a lot of wild game as a child,

but once I started going to deer camp in Wisconsin on Saturday night after opening day, they would make this heart and liver sort of sauce gravy that was served over potatoes. Very bland. The heart was overcooked. The liver was overcooked. It was not delicious. I did not like it.

So I don't have a favorite meal. But I can tell you that now my kids' favorite meal, they have two. It's turkey schnitzel, which I had to serve to your daughter for the very first time just a couple weeks ago. Yeah. And they like just straight-up fried heart, which is odd to me because it's not like, you know, it's not like number one for me. But my kids are always wondering when the next heart's coming out. Seth, I can see you over there. Venison cheesesteaks.

My grandmother used to make them all the time. Ooh. Yeah. Ivan, you got one? It's not really a meal, but my old man used to pickle deer heart, and that was one of my favorites. Oh, is that right? Pickled deer heart.

Yeah, yep. I was like Giannis. I didn't grow up with a lot of wild game, but all the neighbors had summer sausage, and it was always fun to eat that. Pan-fried wild turkey. Pan-fried wild turkey. Just like battered pan-fried wild turkey.

How are you performing on trivia? I've been looking at your thing. Oh, I suck. You're doing a good job with those beavers. Ready to keep rolling, Spencer? We're on to question three. The topic is fishing. What Montana river do the McLeans fish

in the 1976 novel and 1992 movie, A River Runs Through It? I know where it is. What Montana river do the McLeans fish in the 1976 novel and 1992 movie, A River Runs Through It? You know, they pronounce it McLean. Gosh. McLean. Yeah, I think you're mispronouncing it. You know, they pronounce it like a plant. What was it? A plant. Yeah, I think you're mispronouncing it. That's a softball. Brody declared that one a softball.

Yeah. It is, Brody? It's a softball. It's not like a trick question? It's a softball, and I can tell you something that makes you interesting, but I would be confused if someone said it. All right, does the whole crew have an answer? Yeah, I guess.

Audience, help out Ivan. What do you think it is? Yes, Ivan! Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Blackfoot, Blackfoot, Blackfoot, Blackfoot, Blackfoot, Blackfoot, the one in Missoula, and the Yellowstone. That's great. You know the answer is Blackfoot. That's great. You know Clay and Maze are like,

the next time we do one of these shows, it is in Arkansas. It's all Arkansas. Now, although the movie was supposed to take place on the Blackfoot near Missoula, almost none of it was filmed there. Instead, they mostly filmed on the Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Boulder Rivers.

I recognize that river in that movie. Hit me with the rivers again when they filmed there. Instead, they mostly filmed on the Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Boulder rivers. I recognize that river in that movie. Hit me with the rivers again when they filmed it. The Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Boulder. I didn't know the other ones. We're on to our last question. Here's a scoreboard update. Chester and Brody have a perfect game at three.

Steve has two, Giannis has two, Cal has two, and Ivan has two Cal has two and Ivan has two how about clay misty how they combine they have zero great effort the last question the topic is conservation name either the biggest or the smallest national forest in Montana name either the biggest or the smallest national forest in Montana. You better have a really tight answer on this one, Spencer. Okay. It's anybody's game here.

Again, looking for the biggest or the smallest national forest in Montana. That's tough. They're going to help you. They know. I started thinking about smallest. There's a lot of small. You know this one, Chester? I don't think so.

I'm not feeling confident. I want to change mine. Do it quick. Oh, wow. Steve's changing his. Steve's changing his. Steve's changing his answer, and then we're going to come to you guys. Brody, how confident are you? I'm not.

You're not? No. I'm going to make a change. Make a change. Now that they inspired Cal to make a change. Yeah. All this changing of answers. All right, meeting to occur. No more writing. Audience, what do you think the answer is?

All right, let's go with the biggest first. What do you think the biggest is? And what do you think the smallest is? I don't know if I heard any. You got an answer? Definitely east of the divide. I don't know if I heard any. You got an answer? We're definitely east of the divide. You got to do one or the other, right?

Yeah, pick one or the other. We're pretty confident on Custer. All right, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Chester saying Lolo. Cal saying the Bitterroot. Brody saying the Custer Gallatin. Steve saying the Custer Gallatin. Giannis saying the Custer Gallatin. Ivan saying the Custer Gallatin. Yana saying the Custer Gallatin. Ivan saying the Little Snowys. Missy saying the Gallatin. Clay saying the Lolo.

Well, you know that's why I put big because I don't know if you're saying the biggest or the littlest. Well, it doesn't matter. You don't have to. Oh, it doesn't matter? That was not specified. The biggest is the Beaverhead Deer Lodge. That's what I wrote first! Son of a bitch! And the smallest is the Beaverhead Deer Lodge. That's what I wrote first! And the smallest is the Bitterroot. So did anybody get it right?

Nobody got it right. I swear to God, you cannot get away from the Beaverhead Deer Lodge National Forest. You cannot. Alright, we are on to our tiebreaker between Brody and Chester. Everybody can play along though. Ivan, why don't you play along, too, in case the audience can help you out. See if you can steal the victory here.

You already got it by height. Good luck, Brody. Good luck. Conservation's the winner, so, you know, there's no losing. So this is a showdown. This is a showdown. A tiebreaker question between Chester, Brody, and Ivan. Chester, have you ever been in the winner's circle like this before? They call me like second place Chet a lot of the times as well.

I heard some other things they call you. All right, the world record archery elk was killed by Steve Felix in Montana's Powder River County in 2016. What was its gross score? I need to clarify something. You need to clarify that this is like close. So tiebreakers go to the closest number. That's right. This is a numerical question. Whoever is closest will be declared the winner. The biggest elk ever shot.

World record archery elk killed in 2016 in Powder River County. That's a gross score. What was the gross score? Can they call a friend? Now, we'll have Brody and Chester write down their answer first. Then we're going to come to you guys. Do you know the answer to this? Maybe.

Oh, Cal's even getting in on the fun. No, I'm just raising my name out of courtesy. I will tell you, I've talked to Steve multiple times. Which is really fun. After you get off the phone with that guy, you're like, I am so glad this person has this world record. Fantastic human. Is that right?

Yep. Alright, you guys both have answers? Go change them. Audience, help on Ivan. What do you think it is? Let's just do it up or down maybe? Oh, 436 is what they're saying. What do you think it is? Let's just do it up or down, maybe. Oh, 436 is what they're saying. It's got to be close. What do you got? Anybody else want to yell out an answer here?

Ivan feels very confident with 436. Is he high or low? Low. Is it typical or non-typical? This was typical, but it's a gross score. Yeah, gross, non-typical? This was typical, but it's a gross score. Gross, non-typical. All right, reveal your answers. We have Chester saying 440, Brody saying 417 and three ace,

Ivan saying 436. The correct answer is 448, making Chester the winner. Oh! It's the first year of W. All right. Not only did he sing like a little bird, but he can win trivia, too. Now, the first prize

is the conservation donation. Chester, who's it going to go to? Oh, man. He didn't think he was going to win. Yeah. He didn't think about that. I'm going to do a local Montana thing that I was thinking about the other day, if I would have won. It's just a small organization, the Backcountry Horsemen, clearing out trails for folks and stuff.

Yeah. So $500 to Backcountry Horsemen. $500 to them. And our second prize, which is a Vortex spotting scope and tripod, is going to go to Ivan for playing. All right, Ivan. Thanks, man. Remember, when it comes time to claim your prize, Chester's going to do an outro song. Come down to the corner of the stage there, and you'll be able to claim your prize.
