Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I am your host, Spencer Newhart, and I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is we don't have Steve Rinella or Brody Henderson here today,
Starting point is 00:01:14 but the good news is we have Clay Newcomb here. Clay, welcome to the show. Thanks, man. Be easy to fill the hole those two boys left. Why is it bad news that they're not here? Yeah, yeah. It feels like in general this room is... Energy's better?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah, like positive. It's just generally more positive and more timely. I feel like we can talk. It's definitely a younger crowd. Yeah, a lot younger. Now, Clay is the only person who is undefeated at trivia. He has played once and he's won once. How does that feel?
Starting point is 00:01:45 Man, it feels great to be on top of the mountain, man. Now, Clay, I have to tell you a secret. Keep this between us. Don't tell Steve or Cal or Mark. But I think Bear Grease is the best podcast Meat Eater has. Yes. Thank you. It is.
Starting point is 00:01:59 I mean that. Thank you. It's a new hard stamp of approval. That's right. You were giving me a preview before the show of what's to come on Bear Grease the next few months. Tell these listeners what they can expect. You want me to go into the details of that? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Not that amount of detail. I'll give you a whole podcast right now, man. Steve's not here. I can talk. So we're going to do a series on some of Arkansas' most notorious turkey poachers of all time. Oh, nice. They were much older than me. They were my father's age, but I grew up with them.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And just in the last year, it was two brothers. One of them passed away, and it's a pretty incredible story. Interviewed the game wardens that chased them, interviewed their family, and the wild part is, Giannis Patelis, is you're going to have a hard time not being endeared to these men. I'm going to leave it right there.
Starting point is 00:02:55 That's a good tease. Now we are also joined by Gabby Wilson. This is her first time on the show. Gabby, tell folks what you do here at MeatEater. I am the social media coordinator. What does that mean? I coordinate the social media coordinator. What does that mean? I coordinate the social media. I schedule posts. I actually work pretty closely with Misty Newcomb and the Wild and Whole team and schedule posts for them and work with the content over there.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Gabby, welcome to the show. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions born out of MeatEater's four verticals. What are they, Yanni? Hunting, fishing, eating, and conservation. That's right, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. So far, we've had Steve win five times, Brody win four, and Clay, Seth, Giannis, and Corinne each win once.
Starting point is 00:03:44 So are you going to have a first-time winner or a second-time winner today? No Steve or Brody to get in the way. But do you have the stats as to what their ratio from wins to how many times they've played? Brody is by far in first place if we're talking ratio. So you're saying Steve's played a lot more. Well, ratio would be Clay Newcomb, who's played once and won once. One for one. Yeah, I know. So where then does...
Starting point is 00:04:07 Then I think we'd have Brody Henderson next. So even though Steve's got one more win, Brody's done it in less tries. That's right. Now today in the room, besides Clay and Gabby, we also have Giannis Boutelis, Ryan Callahan, Seth Morris, Corinne Schneider, and Rick Hutton. I'm thinking with this crew, it's going to take like six
Starting point is 00:04:23 correct answers to win. So it's going to take like six correct answers to win. So it's going to be the bar. Now we have some housekeeping. Was that a dig? No, no, no. Not a dig at all. How do you feel about that, Gabby? It's going to take six to win with this crew.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I don't have very high expectations. Interpret that for me. I'm lost. It's as much about the questions as it is about the group answering them. That was diplomatic. Now, how are you forming these questions? Do you take into account the people that are in the room?
Starting point is 00:04:53 Sometimes. If we have a guest, I will, but no one in this room counts as a guest. So these are just straight up meat-eater for vertical questions. Now, we have some housekeeping to get to. We previously talked about who sings Deterdy Point Buck. While many believe it's the Youpers, it's actually Bananas at Large. The Wisconsin band released that song in 1989. Also on a previous show, we had a question about what are the only states with a flathead catfish record over 100 pounds? I was only looking
Starting point is 00:05:20 at hook and line records, which would make the answer Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. But if you factor in trot line records, then Oklahoma and Texas would be added to the list. Brody nor Steve answered Oklahoma or Texas there, so it wouldn't affect the outcome of the game. And with that, we are now on to meat eater trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just stand to win everything.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Game on, suckers! Question one, as always, will be multiple choice. The topic is fishing. Which of these is not a crankbait color sold by Rapala? Is it pink squirrel, bleeding clown, root beer crawdad, or patriotic shad? Again, which of these is not a crankbait color sold by Rapala? Pink squirrel, bleeding clown, root beer crawdad, or patriotic shad? Seth, how are you feeling about this? Actually not confident.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And I spent a lot of time looking at Rapalos. I know. After my little trip down the Yellowstone recently, I was buying and looking at crankbaits, and I didn't see half of those answers. Does everybody have an answer? There's a lot of custom colors these days. There's too many variations. It's like a horrible math problem.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Clay, I know you've only played once, but you're supposed to hide your answer. Okay. All right, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying bleeding clown. Gabby saying bleeding clown. Clay saying bleeding clown. Gabby saying bleeding clown. Clay saying bleeding clown. Corinne saying bleeding clown. Rick saying bleeding clown.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Seth saying pink squirrel. And Giannis saying patriotic shad. Nobody said root beer crawdad. The correct answer is patriotic shad. No way. No way. Giannis got it right? Giannis got it right. How'd you know that, Giannis?
Starting point is 00:07:28 I guessed that. Like I said, there was a couple that I hadn't heard recently being on there. That's a gutsy guess. I mean, you're attacking something patriotic? Exactly. You must be a liberal. Son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Mostly. But I figured it just depends on who I'm hanging out with is actually whether I'm liberal or not. I am Son of a bitch Jeez Mostly But I figured It just depends on Who I'm hanging out with Actually Whether I'm liberal or not But No
Starting point is 00:07:50 Because I figured That was like Everybody would figure Of course Rapala would have A patriotic shad What fishing company Wouldn't have
Starting point is 00:07:59 A patriotic shad I bet you're good At paper rock scissors I bet you're good At paper rock scissors Because Paper rock scissors Yeah yeah yeah Because Rock paper scissors patriotic Chad. I bet you're good at paper, rock, scissors. I bet you're good at paper, rock, scissors. Paper, rock, scissors? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Rock, paper, scissors? Yeah, rock, paper, scissors. That's the way you play. Whatever, man. No, no, but when you know what the guy's going to do, so you calculate what he knows you're going to do
Starting point is 00:08:18 and you do something different, that's what Giannis did. You see what I'm saying? I see that, yeah. Like the double cross. You threw me off with the... Paper, rock, scissors? Yeah. There goes one of the six i needed to win other unique names from apollo include hot mustard caribbean shad black wonder bread green tiger voodoo haze demon juicy lucy
Starting point is 00:08:36 blue ghost and my personal favorite moldy fruit see some of those are the new custom colors aren't they a couple of them are new. Yeah, but the bleeding clown's been around for a while. I've caught some of the biggest walleye on the bleeding clown. But there's like clown I'm very familiar with. There's always like clown something. Here's what Rapala liked to do about six years ago. They took all of their classic colors and then they put a red bill on them
Starting point is 00:08:59 and then called them bleeding blank. So that's where you get the bleeding clown. We are now on to question two. The topic is conservation. This next great question comes to us via Brandon Hart. If you have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater.com. America's last legally killed Jaguar was shot by a deer hunter in what state? America's last legally killed Jaguar was shot by a deer hunter in what state? America's last legally killed Jaguar was shot by a deer hunter. In what state?
Starting point is 00:09:31 Some quick answers in the room. Some erasing by Seth. I just erased my small answer and made it bigger so it's easier for you to see. There we go. That's how confident he is. That's courtesy right there. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Starting point is 00:09:47 We have Cal saying Arizona. Gabby saying Florida. Clay saying Arizona. Corinne saying Florida. Rick saying Texas. Seth saying Arizona. And Giannis saying Arizona. Giannis is two for two. The correct answer is Arizona. Right. This jaguar was a male killed
Starting point is 00:10:03 in 1965 in Arizona's Patagonia Mountains. Although their distribution used to go as far east as Louisiana, as far west as California, and as far north as Colorado, it's believed the only ones
Starting point is 00:10:16 left in America are in very southern Arizona. Spencer, you know... Hey, hey, I'm going to fill you in on the... Mm-hmm. So I don't write in to correct you.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Okay. Warner Glenn in 1996, bayed with his mountain lion dogs in New Mexico. The first live documented Jaguar. Like all the other Jaguars they'd brought in dead up until that point. We can't really call them mountain lion dogs now, can we? They're Jaguar dogs. Well, twice they have.
Starting point is 00:10:44 He's bayed two, but it was in New Mexico. I like it. There have been a few killed since then in Arizona, but I think one was poached by a couple teenage duck hunters, and then the other one was killed by a mountain lion hunter. I don't think he knew what he was shooting. Spencer, do you know what the best movie of all time is? No, what is it?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Raising Arizona. There you go. Are you a big Nick Cage is? No, what is it? Raising Arizona. There you go. Are you a big Nick Cage fan? How can you not be? Come on. Bottomless talent. That's right. We are on to question three.
Starting point is 00:11:13 The topic is foraging. What does the colorful acronym LBM stand for in foraging? What does the colorful acronym LBM stand for in foraging? What does the colorful acronym L-B-M stand for in foraging? A quick answer from Ryan Callahan, but the rest of the room looks fairly stumped. Stump?
Starting point is 00:11:37 That's a good mushroom pun, Spencer. L-B-M. Boy. Corinne could start a fire with that brain activity If you leave your cards hanging down just a little bit You know, you're just trying to be Got me through college Yeah, it's not a buddy's game around here Prison rules
Starting point is 00:12:01 If you want to copy out mine, you can Because it is not right Yeah, mine's not right either Does everybody have an answer? No You're still guessing You don't have to have one Yeah I'm just gonna
Starting point is 00:12:12 Take a pass on this one You're out Rick Go ahead and reveal your answers We have Cal saying Little brown mushrooms Gabby saying Light bright blank Clay saying
Starting point is 00:12:22 Leave behind many leave behind many. Leave behind many. That's good. That's good. It's like CPR for mushroom hunting. If that's not one, it should be one. Corinne saying, something blossoming something. Rick without an answer.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Seth saying, little blue mushroom. And Giannis saying, little brown mushroom. Giannis is three for three. The correct answer is little brown mushrooms. Really? Seth, you were right there. Giannis is three for three. The correct answer is little brown mushrooms. Really? So close. Giannis is cleaning house. You were right there.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Well, now, did Giannis have mushrooms pluralized? I'm just saying, I took the time to write in and ask. Thank you for filling in for Steve while he's not here. Now, this isn't a scientific term, but it's popular in the mushroom hunting community. LBMs are largely avoided by foragers because the group doesn't contain many choice edibles. Some LBMs are in the psychedelic category, while others can kill you. If you're new to foraging, it's best to just avoid LBMs altogether.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You even said the word mushroom after the question was asked. Steve would have chopped your head off. Oh, yeah. That's because he's horribly insecure. He's got nothing to do with the game. That's just a personal thing. We're on to question 40. We can edit that out, right? The topic is hunting.
Starting point is 00:13:37 This next great question. Meat or trivia with no Steve Rinella aka roast Steve Rinella. You know what? I was Roast Stephen Rinella. Steve Rinella! You know what? I was pretty sure that's what it would devolve into, and here we are. How come we're not roasting Brody at all? He's too innocent.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Brody's a nice guy. It'd be over his head. Get it? Now the topic is haunting. This next great question comes to us via Tom Marshall. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
Starting point is 00:14:12 A bench leg deer is a hybrid of what two animals? A bench leg deer is a hybrid of what two animals? Bench. Bench leg. Bench, B-E-N-C-H. A bench leg deer. I've never heard of it. Nah.
Starting point is 00:14:30 If me and Seth hadn't heard of it, it ain't real. Yeah, it ain't real. A hybrid of... A bench leg deer is a hybrid of what two animals? Nobody knew this one off the bat. Going to be a lot of educated guesses in the room. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:14:52 That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, mine doesn't make sense either. I don't think mine's even possible before I think about it. A bench-leg deer. I'm going off of regional colloquialism. Does everybody have an answer? Rick is furiously writing.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Gabby, just write down two animals. Come on. But then I'm going to look stupid if... Corinne's writing her abstract to the paper she's about to put out about these two animals. She's drawing a picture of it. A bench leg deer. Bench leg deer. Is this possible?
Starting point is 00:15:33 I don't know. We'll find out. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying a mule deer and a white tail. Gabby saying a coyote and a deer. Clay saying a mule deer and a black tail. Corinne saying a moose and a deer. Rick sang a mule deer and a black tail. Corinne sang a moose and a deer. Rick sang a fallow deer and a mule deer.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Seth sang a white tail and a sika. And Giannis sang a black tail and a mule deer. Giannis is on fire. It is a black tail and a mule deer. So I had that written down, but I thought that there's such a debate in areas of whether it is a mule deer or a black tail anyway, that I said, oh, that doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:16:15 They're too close. Most bench legs appear. It's the only two I've even heard of mating. Oh, really? Not the white tail? Now, why do they call them... Sorry. Huh?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Why do they call them bench legs? Yeah, did you know that? So I couldn't get to Now, why do they call them? Sorry. Huh? Why do they call them bench legs? Yeah, did you know that? So I couldn't get to the bottom of why they call them that. I found a theory in a forum online. So you're going to accept all answers on this one? Yeah, sure. That there's something like a bench leg horse. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:16:40 Never heard of it. Is that something right to you? There's something like a bench leg horse that has like shorter legs and like more of a barrel-like body. So that's where this comes from. I don't know. But I couldn't find anywhere else. Now, most bench legs appear in the Pacific. Bench legs, like furniture legs.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's making sense now. Most bench legs appear in the Pacific Northwest. While Boone and Crockett doesn't track bench leg records, Washington and Oregon kind of do. Both states have records for cascade blacktails, which are deer killed in an area where blacktail and mule deer herds overlap. We're on to question five. We'll get a scoreboard update after this from Bill the Engineer. It's like in California, it's always like they really want it to be a blacktail, even though it looks very much like a mule deer, right?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Because it's going to score way more as a blacktail. Why wouldn't you? It's either kind of a small, okay mule deer or a giant black tail. You know, talking about mule deer, I think probably every community in the East where there's only white tails has some story of mule deer being released back in the 40s and 50s. That sounds like an episode of Bear Grease. Yeah, I've never thought of it before, but there's guys that just swear to me that in the 40s and 50s that sounds like an episode of bear grease yeah i've
Starting point is 00:17:45 never thought of it before but like there's guys that just swear to me that in the ozarks they released mule deer like in the 60s and it's probably you know because somebody killed like a fork g2 buck i like it coming uh in september of 2022 from the bear grease podcast it'll be two minutes long there we go it didn't happen it'll be my intro and. There we go. It didn't happen. It'll be my intro. And then me saying it didn't happen. This didn't happen. Roll the ads and end it. Question five. The topic is gear.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Nine states have an official state firearm. Name one of them. Nine states have an official state firearm. Name one of them. The state or the firearm? The state. It's a good question, Clay. Name one of them. The state or the firearm? The state. It's a good question, Clay. Name the state.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Do you get it, Rick? Do you know this? No. I don't either. Does everybody have an answer? No. You wrote it down so confident. Well, there's 50 states.
Starting point is 00:18:39 There's always a state that is going to be pretty heavily involved in pro-gun type stuff. California, you mean. Don't give them my answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying New York, Gabby saying Wisconsin, Clay saying Wyoming, Corinne saying West Virginia, Rick saying Kentucky, Seth saying Pennsylvania, and Giannis saying Texas. The correct answer is Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. Man, Clay, that was a good guess, though.
Starting point is 00:19:17 As soon as you have that one. I was thinking cowboy guns. Clay got it. Do you know what they are? So the first state to do this was Utah in 2011 when it designated the M1911 pistol as its official state gun. Other notable state firearms include Kentucky and the Kentucky Long Rifle, Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Long Rifle, West Virginia and the Hall Model 1819 Flintlock, and Alaska and the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:19:45 That's cool. What? Now, was Texas on the list? Texas was on there. I think theirs was a Colt pistol, but I can't remember for certain. Giannis is already five for five. What? I mean, what's the tie between Utah and a 1911?
Starting point is 00:20:00 I have six. Model 1911. I have no idea. John Moses Browning. Is that it? Was from Utah? Yeah, definitely. John Moses Browning. Is that it? Was from Utah? Yeah, definitely. Ogden, Utah.
Starting point is 00:20:08 There's the Browning Museums in Ogden, Utah. Oh, it is. No kidding. Yeah, John Moses Browning was from Utah, and he's running firearms. That's why we got you here. There you go. Well, I didn't have that as a damn question, Spencer. And Utah, again, was the first state to do it in 2011, so expect more states to come.
Starting point is 00:20:24 That's a curveball, too. Like, 2011? You'd think that would be older. Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update. Let's see. Yet to put herself on the board, Gabby. Shocking. Rounding up next, we've got Corinne and Rick with one.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Then Seth and Cal and Clay all have two points. Good gravy. And, man. Wow. Just flying out there in the lead is Giannis Petelis with five points. This is just a beat down. Yeah. Beat down.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Yeah. We'll see if we can trip him up. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes. And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join. Whew, our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of, you know, sucking high and titty there, OnX is now in Canada.

Question six, the topic is public lands. How many acres are in a section of land? How many acres are in a section of land? How many acres are in a section of land? Some very confident answers in the room. Cal, do you not know this? I
Starting point is 00:22:56 already wrote my numbers down. Very, very quick answers. Again, how many acres in a section of land? I see we didn't choose the questions per the room today. Does everybody have an answer? Oh, shoot. I hope I didn't answer too quick. I may need to do some math. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cal saying 640.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Gabby saying 100. 640. Corinne saying 20. Rick saying 640. 640. 640. The correct answer is 640. Corinne saying 20. Rick saying 640, 640, 640. The correct answer is 640. Hey, 20 acres in LA would be the equivalent of
Starting point is 00:23:30 640 in a lot of places. Spencer, I was thinking maybe it was a... What do they call... A township? A township. I think there's 36 townships. 36 sections in a township. That's what it is. That's correct. That's what I was thinking. A think there's 36 townships. 36 sections in a township. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:23:46 That's correct. That's why I was thinking. A section of land is one square mile. A half section is 320 acres. A quarter section is 160. And a quarter quarter is 40. This simple system was valuable to American frontiersmen and surveyors who had a shaky grasp on mathematics. We're on to question seven.
Starting point is 00:24:07 The topic is conservation. This next great question comes to us via Dolan Perry. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What Canadian province has five of the top 10 Boone and Crockett entries for bighorn sheep? What Canadian province has five of the top ten boon and crocket entries for bighorn sheep? Not confident, Spencer. Now you're six for six, so this
Starting point is 00:24:39 may be the one. There's... Does everybody have an answer? If Steve was here, he'd be like, shut up, Clay. Don't be saying nothing. Don't be giving no hints. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have two possibilities. Cal saying Alberta.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Gabby saying BC. Clay saying BC. Corinne saying Manitoba. Rick saying Alberta. Seth saying BC. And Giannis saying BC, Clay saying BC, Corinne saying Manitoba, Rick saying Alberta, Seth saying BC, and Giannis saying BC. The correct answer is Alberta. Oh, yes!
Starting point is 00:25:14 Hashtag Berta. Of the top ten entries, five are from Alberta, four are from Montana, and one is from South Dakota. Alberta's biggest sheep of all time was hit by a vehicle near Longview in 2010. It's estimated that bighorn was 14 years old. Now, Rick, did you really know that?
Starting point is 00:25:33 I was pretty confident. You know, when you're reading off trophy stats, the age of the animal is not nearly as interesting to folks who are into trophies as the size of the animal. How old was your sheep, Giannis? Nine or ten? Yeah. Nine.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Nine. It could be ten. Well, a bunch of biologists looked at it, and they came up with answers between eight and ten, so I've landed on nine. But I would like to know how many inches of horn that 14-year-old bighorn ram has. I don't have that in front of me. You really? You've never been in some trophy circles
Starting point is 00:26:08 where that's kind of the number folks sit on? Trophy circles? This circle. Me and Jan, Seth, Rick. How do you measure your weight-tailed deer? Is it by age, typically? No. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:26:22 We're on to question eight. We'll have a correction next week. That's right. We'll get that answer for you. The topic question eight. We'll have a correction next week. That's right. We'll get that answer for you. The topic is cooking. We'll get another scoreboard update after this. What French term roughly translates to cute filet in English? Topic is cooking.
Starting point is 00:26:39 What French term roughly translates to cute filet in English? Again, what French term roughly translates to cute filet in English? I'm second guessing myself now. Guessing. I don't know if I spelled it right. Oh, it's a word that Seth couldn't spell. I'm changing mine.
Starting point is 00:27:06 He can spell what I just wrote. Does everybody have an answer? Isn't Phil a Francophile? What does that mean? If you mean I took two years of it in high school? Yes. Yes. I remember.
Starting point is 00:27:18 I remember. I'm still in the dark here. What's a Francophile? Somebody who's into Frenchies. Mademoiselle. Does everybody have an answer? Yes. Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Starting point is 00:27:29 We have Cal saying filet mignon. Gabby saying filet mignon. Clay saying souffle. Corinne saying petite filet. Rick saying sous vide. Seth saying mignon. Filet mignon. French fry.
Starting point is 00:27:48 M-I-N-I-O-N That's a mix of onion It's mignon And Jan is saying filet mignon Yeah, but you know what I meant The correct answer is filet mignon Oh, we should give that to Seth He can have it The definition of filet mignon. Oh, we should give that to Seth. For sure. He can have it. I got one.

But Daryl Raddick-Jack, I believe that's how he says his last name, runs a program called Swap out of Tennessee. And they take kids from there, from the east, and take them west. And then on opposing years, they take kids from the west back to the east.
Starting point is 00:34:25 How far west? Like western Tennessee or like Idaho? No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Rockies. And then they'd sell them into servitude? What are they doing with these kids? What is the conservation angle?
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah. They're just showing them the other side of the country and what it has to offer with habitat and wildlife, landscapes, et cetera, hoping that these kids sort of head in a wildlife resources, biology direction with their higher schooling. And if you're born in the Midwest, sorry. Yeah. That's called a flyover they're coming by
