It's a meat eater podcast.
Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia,
the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by special guests, John Muellem.
In addition to John, we also have Steve, Corinne, Brody, Hayden, Giannis, and Cal.
John, how do you feel about trivia?
I feel pretty good. I just dropped my pen cap. Not off to a good start. I can't find it.
They don't need any pens for this game of trivia. I think we should say something like the writer John Mualem, author most recently of Serious Face.
I like it, which is about...
It's a collection of his magazine reporting.
Some of which deals with the ways in which animals drive people a little wacky.
I like it.
Now, John, if you're not familiar, this is a 10 round quiz show with
questions born out of Meat Eaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation,
and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization
of the winners choosing. So far, we've had Steve win five times, Brody win four, Giannis win two,
Clay, Seth, Corinne, Chester, and our trivia guest each win once.
I am not going to rest until you fix the way you do the scorecard.
It is blank for blank.
Okay?
Steve's five for 11 or whatever.
Five for 11.
Because you have had people that played once and won once.
That's right.
People might be like, oh, he played five and won five.
It's like, it's blank for blank, blank for blank.
Because everybody's not always here every time.
I think your whole goal with this is to embarrass Cal.
That's what you're going for, right?
No, I'm not.
I'm just going for greater clarity.
I'm an easy target.
Greater clarity. He'm an easy target. Greater clarity.
He's blank for blank.
For context, if we were doing it that way,
Cal would be like 0-4-6, I think.
Sure, whatever.
Yeah, somewhere in there.
Hey, I posted today on Instagram to promote the fact
that this trivia show is now weekly.
And CCMason75 in the comments wrote,
Where's the biggest Winer Award at?
SR would win every week.
And then there's a picture of a face, someone really laughing hard, and a turkey.
I don't know how the turkey works in there.
Oh, no, there's two turkeys.
He's also pointing out that I like to hunt for turkeys. I had somebody write in who said that they host trivia at a couple bars in their local town.
And they said that every game of trivia has somebody like Steve there.
And everybody hates that person from the other competitors to the host of trivia.
Said someone's always got a problem with how things are worded.
Someone's always complaining.
So, Steve, you are that guy for this show.
Hey, I'm going to start a club.
Four people like that.
And we're going to play trivia together.
I'll join.
I'll join.
Brad Parker said, get Spencer Newhart a trophy for having to deal with Steve each trivia.
This is turning into a Steve roast today, man.
Watch me come out and win.
Now we have some housekeeping to get to from previous shows.
On a previous episode, we had Steve complaining about the question,
how many leaves does Poison Ivy have?
Multiple arborists wrote in and said that Poison Ivy does always have three leaves,
but if we want to be more anatomically correct for the board game, then we should refer to them as leaflets so that there is no arguing.
Oh, I would have never have argued.
He's exactly right.
So leaflets it is going forward.
Also on a previous episode, we had many folks up in arms about the question named three of the five countries where polar bears live because I allowed Greenland as a correct answer.
Now, technically, Greenland is considered an autonomous country within the kingdom of Denmark,
but I decided before the show that since we're all a bunch of ignorant Americans with ignorant
American listeners, that I wasn't going to punish anyone for saying Greenland instead of Denmark.
But I want to try to- I didn't know that until you just said it.
I think maybe I knew it at one time, maybe. I don't know, but I didn't know that.
I want to try to appease those listeners.
I want to try to appease those listeners who wrote it.
Did you know that, John?
I didn't know that.
He's going to be a formidable foe.
So we're going to make a big announcement right here, right now on Media Trivia.
Our podcast is officially declaring Greenland a country.
So suck that, you geopolitical nerds, and congrats, Greenlanders.
You no longer have to suffer under the oppressive rule of Denmark.
Oh my God.
That's why, remember when Trump said something like, he's like, I'll buy it from you.
He's going to buy it.
And everybody got mad at him, but I'm like, that's a great idea.
We should. We used to buy stuff all the time. Yeah, Europe should be mad from you. He's going to buy it. And everybody got mad at him. I'm like, that's a great idea. We should.
We used to buy stuff all the time.
Yeah, Europe should be mad about that.
Louisiana Purchase?
That worked out.
Yeah, it's not unheard of for the US to buy a chunk of land.
If they wanted to sell it, why would we not buy it?
I don't know.
I think they're mad because they don't want to sell it.
It kind of sounds like that.
But who gets mad when someone makes an offer?
If someone's like, hey, I'll buy your truck off, you're like, no.
Willing seller, willing buyer.
Yeah, I'm not selling my truck right now. You don't want to be like
asshole.
So if you listen to this podcast,
you have now entered a verbal agreement
that you will refer to Greenland as a country
and if you know anybody from Greenland,
please let them know that they are now a country and their
Independence Day is officially June 9th.
Excellent.
With that, we're on to meat eater trivia. Play the
drop, Phil.
Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Everything.
How's that?
Just stand to win everything.
Game on, suckers!
Question one.
The topic is conservation, and as always, it will be multiple choice.
John's sharpening his mark.
This first great question...
Keep the expectations down.
I don't like it.
Keep the expectations down.
This first great question comes to us via Michael Pullitz.
If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. The lower 48s first ring-necked pheasants were released in 1881 in what state?
Is it Oregon, New Jersey, Iowa, or California? I saw Steve starting to write before I even finished
the question. So again, the lower 48's first ring-necked pheasants
were released in 1881 in what state?
Your choices are Oregon, New Jersey, Iowa, or California.
Now, John, this will be your only multiple choice
in our 10-round quiz show.
Just for me?
Everybody else gets to get a multiple choice.
Man, I'm really hoping.
Spencer, are you cool?
I remember what I read about this a long time ago. I need to get on my phone and make one little choice. Man, I'm really hoping. Spencer, are you cool? I remember what I read about this a long
time ago. I need to get on my phone
and make one little note. I promise.
It's work related.
Just get a witness.
You do have a whiteboard right in front of you.
No, Corinne will watch me do it.
Why are you doing that? Everybody have an answer?
What's he putting down? Oh, yeah, I got it.
He's adding to his to-do list.
Look up where the are the ring names?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying California, Cal saying Oregon, John saying New Jersey,
Brody saying Oregon, Hayden saying New Jersey, Corinne saying Iowa,
and Giannis saying California.
The correct answer is Oregon.
Ah!
Brody got it. God, really? How did you know that? I correct answer is Oregon. Ah! Brody got it?
Son of a...
God, really?
How'd you know that?
I remember reading about it a long time ago.
Plus, it was mentioned in the trivia portion of this podcast several weeks ago.
Is that right?
Really?
You brought it out of material?
No, no.
I wasn't in that one.
It was a side conversation.
Ah.
But it's on the recording somewhere, I promise.
Son of a bitch. Now Brody's winning already.
Owen Denny was the first person to release pheasants in Oregon.
He got the idea while observing a pheasant farm in Shanghai.
Denny had 60 of them shipped across the ocean in 1881,
followed by two more shipments in 1882 and 1884.
He said the pheasants did incredibly well traveling by boat from China to Oregon, but nearly
all of them died when they boarded
a train in America.
So if you're shipping pheasants, boat okay, train not
okay. Do you know that idea that humans
the people used to think you had a
homunculus? Like you had a little man that
lived in you?
I feel like my homunculus knew that.
Because...
Give him a point then. Steve's homunculus. Some partunculus knew that. Give him a point then.
Steve's humunculus.
So part of me knew that.
Dude, that's a t-shirt.
Steve's humunculus.
He knew.
He knew.
We need Hunter to draw a little mini-me-you inside of your wrist.
He's got a better memory and he's a lot less whiny too.
Steve, shoot that pheasant, Steve.
Holy shit.
I want to tap into the mindset
of, I'm going to
mail order pheasants
from China
to Oregon in 1860
whatever. Yeah, he's got nothing else
on his mind.
Yeah, he's like,
Tuesday delivery?
Question two.
The topic is hunting.
What disease has the nickname
rabbit fever?
Again, what disease
has the nickname
rabbit fever?
How are you feeling about this one, John?
Terrible.
Oh, my God, Spencer. Quick to answer, though.
Oh my god, Spencer.
Leave it on for a long time.
Steve, come on.
I know it. I know a lot about it.
It's, um...
Come on,
homunculus.
Help him out.
No, I know what it is.
I think your homunculus got infected with it once.
So we have Brody who thinks he has it.
Giannis who thinks he has it.
Cal, you feeling good?
I already wrote something down.
I just can't think of the word is all.
Which happens to be the answer.
That's the only problem.
That's the trivia equivalent of my girlfriend in Canada that nobody's ever seen.
I just can't think of the word.
Met her at summer camp.
Yep.
Whoa, long answers time here.
You think you're going to come up with it?
No, I know what it is.
I can tell you the different forms it takes.
I definitely talked about this on a podcast. I could tell you about a guy
who hit one with his lawnmower
and contracted it
in an aerosolized form.
It was an entire podcast.
Yeah, or like the little kid
who, yeah.
I'm going to protest this one.
A lot of hints coming up.
It's been a long time.
What is that word?
All right, let's go.
Brody wants another notch on that.
I quit.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve without an answer.
Tularemia.
Cal saying trichinella.
John saying parvo.
Brody saying tularemia.
Hayden saying scurvy.
Corinne saying loony tunes.
That's when the rabbits don't eat enough lemons.
And Giannis saying tularemia
The correct answer is tularemia
That like kind of
Yeah the mnemonic device
Should be like ballerina
I could not get anything else
I knew it was wrong
I couldn't form any other words in my mind
This disease is also known as
Deerfly fever
There are about 230 human cases reported each year in America,
and it's been found in every state except Hawaii.
Tell them about the guy that hit one with his lawnmower
and got aerosolized tularemi that killed him.
That's wild.
He's one of the 230.
That's a unique way to catch it, I imagine.
There's been talk that they could potentially turn it into a chemical weapon
because it can be aerosolized.
Oh, tularemia?
The other rabbit disease?
Yep.
That's the one.
We're on to question three, and the topic is wildlife.
In the year 373 BC,
Greek historian Thucydides reported that prior to an earthquake,
there were five types of animals that fled the city.
Name one of them.
Again, the year was 373 BC,
and a Greek historian reported that prior to a major earthquake,
there were five types of animals that fled the city.
You need to name one of them.
What was the category of this one?
Wildlife.
Oh, okay.
The category is John.
Oh.
How's John doing?
Terrible.
0 for 3, what a 2, whatever we're at.
Does everybody have an answer?
I got a shot in the dark.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying rats, Cal saying rock doves, John saying dogs, Brody saying birds,
Hayden saying rats, Corinne saying rodents, and Giannis saying snakes.
The correct answers are rodents, dogs, snakes, weasels, and centipedes.
No birds.
Are you giving it for rats?
If you said rats, we'll give it to you.
Okay.
All right.
So the room did fairly well. No birds were fleeing you giving it for rats? If you said rats, we'll give it to you. Okay. So the room did fairly well.
No birds were fleeing the city, though.
Now, history is full of anecdotal evidence of animals predicting natural disasters.
One study examined the popular theory that there's a correlation between lost pet ads in the San Jose Mercury News and the dates of earthquakes in San Francisco.
But after a thorough statistical analysis published in 1988, scientists determined there's
actually no correlation between the two.
Now, John, in your writings of earthquakes, did you come across any unique animal stories?
Definitely.
There were a lot of reports of dogs going nuts before the Alaska earthquake, for sure.
Yeah.
I remember a lot of
the people, cause a lot of people's accounts started with, well, I was trying to figure out
what's going on with my dog and then boom. So I've never seen it happen. He was feeling something.
They weren't detecting. They just start barking or, you know, pacing or stuff like that. Yeah.
We're on to question four. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Jeff
Kurtz. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
Banned for import by the USDA in 1971, this Scottish dish is traditionally made by mixing
organ meat with oatmeal and then boiling it in an animal's stomach. What is it? Banned for import by the USDA in 1971.
This Scottish
dish is traditionally made by
mixing organ meat with oatmeal
and then boiling it
in an animal's stomach.
Brody wrote quite cockily.
How about you? You got it? Very cockily.
Okay.
Perhaps more cockily than Brody.
Could just be projecting.
Does everybody have an answer?
Giannis, does everyone know?
I have three letters of an answer, and I'm hoping you're going to give it to me with three letters.
Oh, that's it.
I'm very interested to see what these letters are.
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying haggis, haggis, haggis, haggis, haggis, haggis.
And Yannis saying hag.
We'll give it to you, Yanni.
The correct answer.
What happened?
It feels bad because he took that one away from me a couple episodes ago.
How would you know hag?
I just couldn't remember the whole, you know, hag's in, hag this, hag.
Now, one less letter and I would not have given it to you.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
Haggis is still banned.
No more importing those Scottish hags.
Haggis is still banned today because traditional recipes consist of about 15% sheep lung,
which the USDA says has an increased risk of carrying foodborne illnesses.
But if you're really interested in trying Scotland's national dish,
there are plenty of lung-free manufacturers who make a legal version of haggis.
I went to a, you know, the Scottish poet Bobby Burns?
No.
The Scottish poet Bobby Burns.
I went to, in a predominantly Scottish region, I went to the annual Bobby Burns Festival.
Which was where?
Out near Miles City.
And they played a lot of bagpipe, read Bobby Burns poetry.
And then, I mean, a lot of people were there, over a hundred people.
And we ate haggis.
I like it.
You think it had lung in it?
No, it was made right there.
Oh.
But the bummer is, instead of cooking it in the cow's stomach, they were just cooking
it in like turkey bags, which I thought was bullshit.
Steve likes his haggis with stomach.
We're on to question five.
The topic is conservation.
Name one of the five biggest private landowners in America.
Again, name one of the five biggest private landowners in America.
Cal, isn't there some great quote about like a lot of conservation happens on private land or
like you need private land for conservation? That's a a quote i feel like it's a thing that's said when people uh tend to overlook what happens on the other side of the
fence well like all conversation all conservation east of the mississippi is occurring there exactly
there's math i guess yeah that's the quote 640 million acres of public land there's roughly 925 million acres of land dedicated specifically
for agriculture.
And then within the private holdings, there's more private land in the lower 48 specifically
set aside for wildlife or recreation than all of our national parks combined in the
lower 48.
That's why we got you here.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying Turner.
Cal saying Turner.
Turner.
Brody saying the Koch brothers.
Koch.
Koch brothers.
Where I grew up.
There's two landowners.
If it's spelled like that, it's Koch.
Hayden saying Ted Turner.
Giannis saying Ted Turner.
Corinne left the room.
No, he wrote Ted.
Again. There's no way we're going to answer Turner. Corinne left the room. No, he wrote Ted. Again.
There's no way we're going to accept that.
Which Ted Nugent.
Giannis said Ted Nugent.
Except for the title of his book was Call Me Ted.
I don't think you should accept that.
You know what, Giannis?
I'm not going to because we gave you the last one.
I couldn't remember his last name.
Could be dancing.
Yeah, because I remember Tularemi.
I just couldn't remember it.
Corinne, what's your answer?
And Corinne says Ted Turner.
The correct answers are John Malone, the Emerson family, I just couldn't remember it. Corinne, what's your answer? And Corinne says Ted Turner.
The correct answers are John Malone, the Emerson family,
Ted Turner, the Reed family, and Stan Kroenke.
Wow, I'm like neck and neck with Brody.
I thought for sure they'd be on the list. Do you have the breakdown?
Who is Malone?
He passed up Turner.
John Malone is number one.
He is the largest private landowner in the country.
He owns 2.2 million acres spread across Florida, New Mexico, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Wyoming.
I'm going to call him and see if I get hunting permission.
I'm going to write him a letter.
You can hunt his place in Maine.
I mean, just me. Besides all that ground, he also owns stake in Formula One,
Sirius XM Radio, and the Atlanta Braves.
Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update.
Yeah, I'd love to.
Everyone is in first place.
Wow.
Everyone has three points.
Okay.
Are you serious?
I'm serious.
I like that.
Can you imagine if I would have gotten the first two right?
Well, then you'd be in first, Steve.
Crazy.
You know what?
I can imagine that.
Hey, folks.
Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.
And boy, my goodness, we hear from the Canadians
whenever we do a raffle
or a sweepstakes.

Welcome to the OnX x club y'all
question six the topic is bow fishing this next great question comes to us via nolan laird if you
have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia you can send it to trivia at the meat eater
dot com shit's heating up for john well i'm right. I'm not even sure I know what bow fishing is.
What is bow fishing?
What phenomenon causes fish to appear closer to the surface
because of how light changes direction when it meets water?
What phenomenon causes fish to appear closer to the surface
because of how light changes direction when it meets water.
We have a fairly confident room.
Brody and Steve have been giving each
other the stink eye the whole time. Right over
me. It's coming right
across me like lasers.
Yep. Did you breathe
a little sigh of relief when you heard the
actual question? Yes.
But no, not really. Versus the topic
of bowfishing.
I don't feel like you'd have to know anything
about bowfishing to get this right.
Here's the deal. If we want this
trivia podcast to last
more than two months, we gotta have questions
like this.
Are you saying it's not a good question?
No, no, no. I'm saying we need to
go to the fringes of the
meat-eater universe to have a question like this. The answer to every question can't be a white-tailed deer. That's what I'm saying we need to go to the fringes of the meat-eater universe to have a question like this.
The answer to every question can't be white-tailed deer.
That's what I'm saying.
White-tailed deer.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying refraction.
Cal saying refraction, refraction, refraction.
Everybody got it right.
The correct answer is refraction.
Light refraction is the primary reason so many bow fishers miss their target high.
A good rule of thumb is to aim three inches below the fish for every foot of depth.
So if you're shooting at a bottom dwelling carp in three feet of water,
you should be aiming about nine inches below the fish's belly.
Yeah, I knew that.
Or about one and a half carp thicknesses.
There you go.
It just depends on how big the carp is.
Question seven.
The topic is hunting.
Now, this is an audio question.
Phil the engineer
is going to play 30 seconds
of an animal's call,
and you need to tell me
what that animal is.
Macaque. All right, all right, we got it.
I think everybody has an answer.
John, you have an answer?
Yeah.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Sandhill Crane, Sandhill Crane.
John says turkey.
Brody says Sandhill Crane.
Sandhill Crane.
Corinne says some tropical bird or monkey.
And Giannis says Sandhill Crane.
The correct answer is Sandhill Crane.
Sandhill Crane vocalizations have been described by ornithologists as moans, hisses, honks, trills, purrs, and snores, but what
you heard there is called a bugle.
That's upsetting because I've been
around Sandhill Cranes, and it's
just my homunculus was not...
You're probably within
a couple hundred yards of one right now.
That would have been a good trivia question.
Did they call it a bugle?
It's a little bit
too subjective, though, because some folks may call it a honk, but bugle is what you'll commonly see.
Question eight.
We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.
I think it's still a pretty tight race.
The topic is wildlife.
This animal is the world's sixth heaviest land mammal and 11th deadliest animal for humans.
What is it?
In the world.
In the world.
What I mean by 11th deadliest for humans is it kills the 11th most humans per year.
So, again, it is the sixth heaviest land mammal and 11th deadliest animal for humans.
Steve had an answer immediately.
The rest of the room is still thinking pretty hard.
Sixth. This gives me time to go
heaviest.
This is in the world.
The sixth heaviest land mammal.
Does this include aquatic animals?
And eleventh deadliest animal
for humans.
I'll read the question again for you,
Brody.
This animal is the world's
Does this include whitetails?
This animal is the world's
6th heaviest
land mammal and 11th
deadliest animal for humans.
Yeah, big giant buck.
What is it?
You tell me when you're ready.
The Huff Buck.
Does everybody have an answer?
Yeah, it's really bugging me.
Nope, I don't.
I want a little more time.
No, no.
Someone was complaining about the time when Steve was having trouble.
Brody also does not like it when people erase.
He thinks you need to stick with that first answer you write down.
It's a sign of weakness, man.
He's a flip-flopper.
He's a flip-flopper.
Hey, everyone else has done it.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying the hippo, Cal saying the cape buffalo, John saying the moose, Brody saying the moose, Hayden saying the moose,
Corinne saying the hippo, and Giannis saying the hippo.
We have a diverse set of answers here.
The correct answer is hippo.
That's six?
What are the first five?
It's like a variety of elephants.
There might be a rhino above them.
You got the Asiatic elephant, right?
Oh, we're going species.
The two kind of rhinos.
Oh, I didn't know we were going species by species of elephant.
What do you think they meant, like rough groupings?
Yeah. Now, even like moose we were going species by species of elephant. What do you think they meant? Like rough groupings? Yeah.
Now, even like moose is pretty far down on the list.
I think they're like 29th or something.
I raised hippo.
I got a question for you, Spencer.
Let's hear it.
What's the number one most deadliest animal in the world?
Mosquito.
That's correct.
By like a lot.
Now, hippos weigh nearly 7,000 pounds, which makes them lighter than elephants but heavier than giraffes,
and they kill about 500 humans per year, which puts them behind assassin bugs but ahead of sharks.
Yeah, but your question was in regards to mammals.
Oh.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I'm saying that doesn't factor into it.
Hit us with a scoreboard update.
Phil.
I want more information. factory and do it. Hit us with a scoreboard update. God, I'll be all clean.
I want more information.
I want the weights and the animals above this.
By EOD.
By EOD.
We have two questions left.
All right, in third place,
we have John New Allen
with four points.
Yeah, John!
Which is honestly a strong third
because he's still in the game.
It doesn't feel it
doesn't feel that way no you guys appreciate that but tied for second we have brody cow corinne
and hayden and then tied for first we have yannis the latvian eagle patellis and steven the
this is where friendships get ruined man it's so frustrating because I feel like hippo is the default answer
for that. It's like everybody knows
hippos kill a bunch of people, but then
when you've got to put them in order of weight,
I was like, well, maybe it's a smarter
question than I'm giving it credit for.
And that's where I kill myself every week.
I'm feeling good today.
By thinking he's a lot smarter.
I'm feeling good today in games.
I got Wordle in three.
Oh, you know what I played with my wife last night?
It's a great game.
It's in that same family as Wordle, and I didn't know about it,
but it looks like a little honeycomb,
and there's a letter in it that has to be used in every word.
Oh, the spelling bee.
Yeah.
That's why it's a honeycomb.
Holy shit.
We poured the coals to it
and only came up with half the possibles.
I had a night where I played that.
Someone introduced me to it
and I got the highest mark
and I had to delete it
from a file. I was like, I can't do this anymore.
I'm going to get sucked into this big time.
I saw where it was going. I just went out on a high note she played she likes my wife likes to
play it to get to genius oh yeah but we we fell short yeah I'm sure we just sat there for like
eight more hours we would have found another word but it was getting slow returns yeah no this was
like you know a bag of potato chips or something for me. I was like, I got to just put that over there and never touch that again.
We're on to question nine.
The topic is fishing.
This legendary fishing lure invented in 1910
has a unique name that was intentionally misspelled
so that it wouldn't offend religious anglers.
Oh, come on.
What is it?
This legendary fishing lure invented in 1910 has a unique name
that was intentionally misspelled so that it wouldn't offend religious anglers.
Now, Steve knew it right away, but I haven't seen anybody else write down an answer.
Yeah, I'm impressed.
Legendary fishing lure.
Legendary fishing lure that was invented in 1910 has a unique name that was intentionally misspelled
so that it wouldn't offend religious anglers and if you spell it wrong i would still give it to you
brody how's it going over there not going at all it was called the bejesus
does everybody but brody have an answer?
Brody?
I don't have an answer.
You got a few more seconds?
No.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Steve saying Daredevil, Cal saying the Water Walker.
I like that.
I don't know if that's a lure, but it should be.
John saying the Krugenfix.
It's a crucifix. Crucifix, I'm that. I don't know if that's a lure, but it should be. John saying the Krugenfix. It's a crucifix.
Crucifix, I'm sorry. But I spelled it C-R-O-O-O-O-S-I-F-I-C-K-S.
That should also be a fishing lure.
Brody without an answer. Hayden saying the
Water Walker. Corinne saying
the Virgin Mary, spelled like Merry
Christmas. And Giannis
saying the Daredevil.
You know why Giannis shouldn't get it?
Because he spelled the word.
He didn't misspell it.
I said you don't have to spell it accurately.
The correct answer is daredevil.
Dude, Giannis is going to be in a showdown. Which is spelled D-A-R-D-E-V-L-E.
Lou Webbinger. Oh, I didn't spell it right either.
I'm glad you didn't.
How did you spell it?
I just thought it was like devil, like D-E-V with an apostrophe L.
Lou Eppinger invented the daredevil in 1910.
It was originally named the Osprey Lure,
but Eppinger chose to change the name after World War I
to honor the U.S. Marines,
who the Germans referred to as daredevils
because of their fierce fighting style.
Rhonda, the last question.
Hit us with a scoreboard update, Phil.
It's just down to Steve
and Yanni.
Seven points apiece. It's been amazing
to watch Brody's games fall apart today.
Everyone has a bad day once in a while, Steve.
It started out like two
wham, wh Wham It feels horrible
Brody snatched
Snatched failure
From the jaws of victory
I like that
I fell apart
It's good
Daredevil resurrected you
In my opinion
From that crappy hippo
That was a good one Final question resurrected you, in my opinion, from that crappy hippo. Oh, you like that one? Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was a good one.
The final question.
The topic is public lands.
This next right question comes to us via Patrick McGee.
If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia,
send it to trivia at themeateater.com.
There are five states with multiple national grasslands.
Name two of them.
Two of the states.
Should be specific.
There are five states with multiple national grasslands.
Name two of those states.
Pretty quick answers for the two fellas in the lead,
but they both look stumped. I would gather that they have one,
but are trying to come up with a second.
How you feel, Brody?
Good, because I've been to them.
I know them.
Hunting pronghorn on one.
What?
That's a pretty good tip.
These fellas can probably recall
every pronghorn you've killed.
Nah.
Killed a bunch.
That's the right answer.
Bunch of books.
Giannis, Steve, how we doing?
In all sorts of grasslands and all sorts of states.
I want to change my shit up.
Oh.
Yeah, Brody's tip is influencing my decision here.
You should almost call a mistrial on that, man.
Yeah, I'm going to change.
The one I got rid of, rather than erasing it, I scratched it out.
If I want it being wrong, I want to be like, but.
But.
If you want to fight it.
Just to be like,
but, we all know.
Does everybody have an answer?
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve
saying South Dakota and Colorado. Cal
saying Wyoming and South Dakota.
John saying Nebraska and Kansas.
Brody saying Colorado and Wyoming.
Hayden saying South Dakota and Nebraska. Corin John saying Nebraska and Kansas. Brody saying Colorado and Wyoming. Hayden saying South Dakota and Nebraska.
Corinne saying Nebraska and Iowa.
And Giannis saying Nebraska and Wyoming.
The correct answers are Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas.
I won!
I won!
Who won, Phil?
Do we have a winner?
Steven Rinella is the winner.
Wyoming wasn't even on there.
Wyoming was not won with multiple grasslands.
Steve, how does your humongous feel?
It is a grasslands refuge or reserve or something in a Wyoming antelope.
But multiple grasslands.
Yeah, it has to be multiple.
There are only 20 in the country, and we're looking for states that have two of them.
Oh, shit.
You know, when I got my thing from Brody's tip, I was wrong, but it steered me in the right direction.
He crossed out Arizona.
Because I was like, I don't know where all Brody's killed an antelope.
I damn sure it wasn't Arizona. Wow. was like, I don't know where all Brody's killed. The antelope, I damn sure wasn't Arizona.
Brody.
Wow.
I would have heard about that.
John, did you have fun playing trivia?
At first.
I had fun.
Now, I feel like it's like the Queen Bee thing.
I got to come back.
I want to study up.
I feel like this is not how I want it to seem to you guys.
I want to do better.
We have one of your neighbors.
Who's that?
My buddy Tommy Edson.
Okay.
Coming because he's been walking the pack now.
He sends me his scorecard, and he texted me yesterday being like,
you have to stop saying that I said I win every game because I never said I win every game.
Like, don't do this.
Now, John, what happens next is Steve gets to choose where our $500 donation goes.
So who are you going to give it to, Steve?
I'm going to donate.
I can't remember what I did last time.
I think every time you choose to donate.
No, because I'm doing our own land access initiative.
There you go.
I like that. Good option. You know, I'm doing our own land access initiative. There you go. I like that.
Good option.
You know, I win enough.
I mean, the next time I'll do TRCP.
I'm looking forward to those ones.
You're not going to be in here coming up.
That's it for Meat Eater Trivia.
