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 Stephen Rinella, Chester Floyd, Corinne Schneider, Hayden Samick, Maggie Hudlow, Maggie Smith, and Corey Calkins.

If you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from meat... It's Calkins. Is it Calkins? No. Calkins. Oh, shit. At least you didn't, like, interrupt me.

Wait, rewind. Go back. It's just because we always fuck up our meat scientist guest name. That's why I mess that up. Hey, are you going to read that letter from that guy that I sent you? We get a lot of letters. Which letter?

The one where he's talking about how he won't listen if I'm not here and he likes my fighting spirit and all that. If we want to start reading listener letters about Steve's trivia attitude and people who listen or don't listen, I don't think you're going to like the ratio that we land on. That's why I sent you a specific letter. Oh, he sent it to you? Oh, that's great.

I love it. Sorry, guys. Really derailed the episode. If you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now, this is episode two of our three-part Meat Eater Trivia Championship.

So, if you haven't listened to last week's episode, then pause this one and go back and play that one. All right, now everyone is caught up. Here's how this is going to work. Four people from last week's show and four people from this week's show will move on to episode three, where we'll crown a 2022 Meat Eater Trivia Champion. And just like with sports ball, I thought it'd only be right to reward those players who have shown regular season dominance.

So as the person with the second most trivia wins, I'm granting Steven Rinell an automatic bid to the third episodes. That means that there are only three spots up for grabs for you other six players. Now, Steve, I want to put you on the spot here. Between these other six people, who do you think will be the three that move on? I'm not going to answer that. You got it. Come on. I'm not going to answer that.

That's where you draw the line in, like, hurting feelings? Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Where do I draw the line in hurting feelings? Let's hear it. Let's hear it. That's where I draw the line in hurting feelings. When have I ever hurt anybody's feelings? You're not going to make a prediction? No, I'm not going to do that. All right.

Steve doesn't know. Now, last week I asked Brody the same question. He just doesn't want to share. Brody didn't even have to think about it. Brody picked Deanna, Sean, and Rick to move on. So he got two out of three correct. Instead of Rick, Seth took the final spot in the Trivia Championship.

How's the rest of the room feel? You guys think you're moving on? Is there anybody who's like, yeah, I'm already in that third episode? No? I don't want to jinx myself, man. We just can't do our best. In a previous game of Trivia, we talked about whether it's correct to say holes in one or hole in ones.

Kennedy Swan wrote in to say that the right way to phrase it is hole in ones and her source is that she's a professional golfer. So Steve, how does it make you feel to know that we have a professional golfer listening to the show? I want to talk to our hosting

platform and see if they can cut her out. Please get on that Kennedy Swan can no longer listen Nah I'm joking Listen man I was just saying earlier I don't hurt anybody's feelings That was a joke Also I've explained I'm super pro golf

Because it keeps other people Out of doing things you like? Sure. I don't know. That's a good way to look at it. Outside, getting healthy doesn't bother me. I don't wake up in the morning worried about golfers coming for me. It's like I'm super pro-golf. Also on a previous show, when talking about coonhounds,

I said there were black or tan coonhounds, thinking it was two different breeds. Not realizing there's just one breed called the black and tan coonhound. Thank you to every single coonhound owner in America for writing in to let me know I got that wrong. Yes, when I read black and tan coonhounds, I thought there were black coonhounds and tan coonhounds. I didn't know it was a black and tan coonhound. This guy's hosting the show. I know. Oh. I didn't know. This guy's the host of the show. A black and tan coonhound. This guy's hosting the show. I know.

It jeopardizes this whole thing. Steve's feeling fiery today. Hold on. Shut up now, dude. I forgot. I forgot about my pact. And with that, 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!

Round two. Did you get the new markers? I ordered them. I ordered them from Amazon the day we got done recording, but two-day shipping doesn't mean anything to them anymore. So hopefully by next week we'll have them. I spent all their money on Lord of the Rings. They can't afford two-day shipping anymore.

That's a good joke for probably a dozen listeners. I like it, though. Thank you. Please write it and let me know you like it. So we have new markers and erasers on the way. Question one, the topic is fishing. And as always, this will be multiple choice. And this first great question comes to us via Colton Malsick.

If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What was the world's most harvested fish in 2017? And this is measured in tons. Was it yellowfin tuna, sardine, Atlantic cod, or anchovy? Again, what was the world's most harvested fish in 2017? And this is measured by tons. Yellowfin tuna, sardine, Atlantic cod, or anchovy? That's a great question, man. Good question from Colton.

That's a great question. Everybody good? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We got Steve saying sardine. Maggie Hudlow. Sardinos. Sardinos. Maggie Hudlow. Spanish speaking.

Saying cod. Corey saying cod. Hayden saying sardine. Chester saying anchovy. Hayden saying sardine. Chester saying anchovy. Marge saying sardine. Corinne saying sardine. The correct answer is anchovy.

I think Chester is the only one. That was a little fishy. Yeah, Caesar's salads, man. It's in a lot of stuff because I have to look for it. Well, it's got to be like for Yeah, Caesar salads, man. It's in a lot of stuff because I have to look for it. Well, it's got to be like for pet food. Imagine a lot of fish oil, things like that.

But that's why I made that. I was like, it's in more stuff than people would think because I have to look. Good job, Chester. Putting the molester back into Chester and the molester. Like, he's molesting my game. There were nearly four times. I thought that nickname was gone. I thought it was done. he's a blessed in my game. There were nearly four tons. I thought that nickname was gone. I thought it was done.

There's a PG show here. There were nearly four tons of Peruvian anchovy harvested in 2017, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This is followed by 3.5 tons of Alaska Pollock, 2.8 tons of Skipjack tuna, and 1.8 tons of Atlantic herring. Your other three options of yellowfin tuna, sardine, and Atlantic cod were all in the top 10. That's a great question. Great question. Good job, Chester. The topic is biology. How many months is the incubation period for a wild turkey?

How many months is the incubation period for a wild turkey? Saw a few quick answers in the room, folks that knew this. Steve, you know this one? I'll talk about it later. Chester had the quickest answer, I think, in the room.

You know what, Chester? You don't know what I wrote. I don't. I don't. I just guessed pretty much based off of what I've seen. Again, looking for a number here. How many months is the incubation period for a wild turkey? Maggie, I've never seen so much erasing two questions in.

Got an answer? Is this a trick question? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying one, Maggie saying five, Corey saying one, Hayden saying one, Chester saying one, Maggie Smith saying two, and Corinne saying seven weeks, which is not an answer. Not what was that?

Oh, sorry. The correct answer is one. What'd you write, Chester? One. We're neck and neck almost. Really quick, Steve, because he was writing an email. Steve, are you aware that you are making it to the finals no matter what happens? You have a bye. Yeah, but why is that you are making it to the finals no matter what happens? You have a bye.

Yeah, but why is that? That's what I want to know. Because if this were... I'm not accepting that shit. I'm either going to win my way in or not. Ooh. In sports ball, the two best teams will often get a bye, and so Brody got a bye on the first episode.

I didn't even know what that word was when you were using it. What? The bye. A bye? That's new to you? If I can't win my way in, I'm not playing. Okay. All right.

Steve is not accepting the buy. We'll see if he needs it or not. Is this going to backfire spectacularly? Turkeys will, on average, lay 12 eggs, which takes a hen about two weeks to do. Once the final egg is laid, the incubation period begins, which lasts about 28 to 30 days. During this stretch, the hen will only leave the nest for very short periods to eat and drink. And unlike the other 11 months out of the year, she won't roost in a tree at night. Question three, the topic is public lands. This next great

question comes to us via Caleb McClain. If you have a question you think is right for meat eater trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What state has the most 14ers, which are mountains with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet? What state has the most 14ers, which are mountains with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet? Again, some fast answers in the room. We have a couple confident players. Does everybody have an answer? I think I'm making a dumb mistake, but I'm going to stick with it.

That's a good idea. Go with your gut. Looking for the state with the most 14ers. Well, Megan's probably going to want to erase her answer and write another one. Everybody have an answer? In fact, she is erasing her answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve's.

She's like, the more I think about it. C saying Colorado. Maggie saying Alaska. Corey saying Colorado. Hayden saying Colorado. Chester saying Colorado. Marge saying Colorado. And Corinne saying Colorado.

They got it. The correct answer is Colorado. Can you maybe, when you go through the edit, Phil, can you maybe have him say Colorado? Yeah, I was just going to say that. Here's one you can use. Jaguar. Colorado.

Got it. Just Phil, you know what I mean? Of course, yeah, I'll do that. There are 96 14ers in America, all of which are west of the Mississippi River. Colorado has the most with 53. That's followed by Alaska with 29, California with 12,

and Washington with two. And Illinois with zero. Wait, is that like a South Dakota accent? Colorado. I don't know. I'm just getting it wrong. Or is it just rad because of all the 14ers? Illinois with zero and Missouri with zero.

No, see, but I was getting a lot of feedback about the way you say Appalachia. People didn't like however that was coming off your tongue. Well, what I do is I'll just stop saying it altogether. That's right. I have no more use for the state where Denver is located. Question four. The topic is foraging.

Huitlahoche is an edible mushroom that only grows on what plant? What? Bro, I had that before you stopped asking the question. Huitlahoche is an edible mushroom that only grows on what plant? What? Huitlahoche. Huitlahoche. You're shitting me.

You want me to spell it for you? H-U-I-T-L-A-C-O-C-H-E Huitlahoche Now I'm worried I got it wrong Is an edible mushroom That only grows on what plant? Son of a Like a very specific plant?

Like a general As specific as you think you need to be. A green one. Plants. Trees. I don't know. Like wheat. La hoche.

Wheat la hoche. Man, that's tough. Chester's pitching a perfect game. You think you got this one? No, I don't have an answer yet, Spencer I'm gonna guess Hayden knew it right off the bat But the rest of the room

Not very confident Phil, you might have to edit that, man Not gonna happen If I don't edit Steve out We got a lot of editing happening in this episode Does everybody have an answer? Dude, great question But how could I just have, like...

Well, yeah, it just seems like something I would have heard about. Everybody good? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying... What does that say? Pinion. Pinion. Maggie Hudlow saying corn.

Corey saying tree. Hayden saying corn. Chester saying fern. Maggie Smith saying cactus. And Corinne saying cactus. We're in the same mental. We have a correct answer in the room. It's corn. Weren't you telling me that your mother

used to pick that? What'd you write, Chester? I just guessed and said fern. Crete La Hoche is more commonly known as corn smut or corn truffle. It's a farmer's nightmare and a forager's dream that shows up when corn plants are stressed by events like wind, hail, or drought. For more on how to find and cook this mushroom, read my article on TheMeatEater.com called The 12 Best Edible Wild Mushrooms.

God, man, that's embarrassing, man. Never even heard of it. You don't know what corn smut is? Uh-uh. Christine Swickie's mother picks a bunch of it and she christine told me about like eating it a lot when she was a kid yeah it's like a real delicacy in mexico too that's where the wheat lajoche name comes from when i was in high school i got in a fight with my girlfriend she took my keys my truck and whipped the way out into a cornfield you were probably waiting through a

seed of wheat lajoche and didn't even know it. Never found them. Really? Never found them. Had to walk home and get the spares. Did you even have any hope? That seems like an impossible task. I looked. I can show you the spot today. Question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

The topic is conservation. Name one of the five most visited zoos in America in 2016. Name one of the five most visited zoos in America in 2016. And for the purpose

of this question, I'm not counting Disney's Animal Kingdom or Busch Gardens Tampa. Those are theme parks. I was so close to putting Bus Bush Gardens Tampa? Those are theme parks. I was so close to putting Bush Gardens Tampa. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for one of the five most visited zoos in America in 2016. Phil, have you taken in Disney's Animal Kingdom?

I've been to Disney World one time. I did not go to Animal Kingdom, though. Why not? Time and money, man. Not while you were there? No. Focused on the task. I spent my time in Galaxy's Edge instead, hanging out with Chewbacca and Darth Vader.

Good on you. Does everybody have an answer? Chewbacca on the Avengeables, yeah. Yeah, that was the best. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Bronx. Maggie Hudlow saying Smithsonian.

Corey saying San Diego. Oh, that's a good one. Hayden saying sang Smithsonian. Corey sang San Diego. Oh, that's a good one. Hayden sang San Diego. Chester sang Atlanta. Maggie Smith sang Bronx. That's just because Chester's playing a concert in Atlanta. And Corinne sang Miami Zoo. He's like, I'm trying to think of a city.

Atlanta. I'm playing a show there. Exactly. I'm like, what's a big city? I have no idea. The five most visited zoos are Lincoln Park Zoo, St. Louis Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Houston Zoo, and Columbus Zoo.

Son of a bitch. Lincoln Park Zoo was the most visited zoo in 2016 with 3.6 million visitors. That's followed by the St. Louis Zoo with 3.5 million, San Diego Zoo with 3.3 million, Houston Zoo with 2.5 million, and Columbus Zoo with 2.4 million. Just missing the top five are the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., which Maggie said, the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, the Bronx Zoo in New York, which Steve said, the Como Park Zoo in Minneapolis, and the Denver Zoo. Accredited zoos support more than 2,500 conservation projects in 130 countries.

Dang. You know, I might take that buy. I was going to say that. Before I think about it. Now that I've had a minute to reflect. We're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us an update, Phil. Will do.

With one point apiece, we have Maggie Smith, Maggie Hudlow, and Corinne Schneider. Coming up next in the train is Steven Rinella with two points. Oh, no. Still top four.

Because it's not a leg. Nobody got it right. The correct answer is ten. Oh, really? Lobsters are classified as decapods, which means they're 10-footed. The front two legs, which are also known as their pincers, are considered non-walking legs. The other four sets of legs, which are their walking legs, are smaller and located under the carapace. Question eight.

The topic is fishing. This world-famous fishing lure, which is very popular among ice anglers, is named after a Nordic country and unsightly skin condition. Oh, dude. Steve thinks it's a race. He was riding as quick as he could. He had to beat Hayden again.

I like that I can see catching Some big ol' longers On a Danish twist Did you Corey did you change your answer? Sounds like a pastry And the correct answer is

She's like I thought you meant What you eat When you're on your switch Yeah exactly sounds like a pastry. And the correct answer is... She's like, I thought you meant what you eat when you're on your swishy. Yeah, exactly. It is a Swedish pimple. What does that look like? It's a type of spoon, basically. It's like a spoon with a little red or yellow flap or thing. What does the skin condition look like? A little silver. Looks like something you'd hang on an earring.

And the pimple is a little red finisher. Sorry to all my fellow Minnish Pimples for getting that wrong. That's the name of the fishing lure. It is a Swedish pimple is a little red finisher. Sorry to all my fellow Minnesotans for getting that wrong. That's the name of the fishing lure. It is a Swedish pimple. What does the pimple look like? It's a little red blade.

No, I mean the skin condition. What does the skin look like? It looks like pimples. You don't know what a pimple is? Oh wait, are you asking if there's a skin condition Called having Swedish pimples? No It's the country plus the skin condition

That's right If you had a Swede With a pimple And you pointed to it Who's a famous person from Sweden? Do we know any? Oh, that Greta Thunberg?

There's one. Oh, yeah. There we go. That's it. Yeah. Greta had a pimple. It would be a Swedish pimple. Swedish pimples have been used in Sweden for over 100 years to catch both freshwater and saltwater fish. The company highly recommends baiting Swedish pimples with the eye of a perch

because they have a strong odor and require a hard bite for the fish to get them off the hook. Who was recently comparing how many social media followers Greta Thunberg has versus someone her age who's one of the Kardashians? And he's like, what are people actually interested in here? Learn something about that. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. And remember, the top four people are moving on to the championship episode.

That's right. And because of that little twist there, we actually have one, two, three, five people left in the game. We have Maggie Hudlow, who has three points. Steve, Corey, and Chester all have four points apiece. Wow. And Hayden is running away with it with six points currently. Jeez, wow. Nice, Hayden.

Well, here's the thing. Maggie has a chance to slip in there. Brandon Marger out of it, though. I believe so. I still have one point. Okay. Are we not answering questions? No, play along.

Why not? Question nine. The topic is wildlife. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Kanan Grove for sending this great question. Kanan is going to get a signed copy of the Meat Eater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com.

Besides a bald Eagle name, one of the other five wild animals featured on an American passport. Besides a bald Eagle name, one of the other five wild animals featured on an American passport. Hmm. I should have looked harder. That's a great question, man. That is why it's our listener question

of the week. Nobody knew this one right off the bat, so we're just getting some educated guesses. Hey. Marge believes that she knows this one. She knew this one right off the bat. You just knew it flat out. I was just looking at my password the other day. I think.

Okay. I'm changing mine. I believe you. I'm team Marge. I think you got it. Can I get one more right? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answer.

We have Steve saying American bison. Maggie saying bison. Corey saying bison, Maggie saying bison, Corey saying bear, Hayden saying bison, Chester saying rattlesnake, Marge saying bison, Corinne saying wolf. The correct answers are bison,

grizzly, seagull, salmon, and geese. No rattlers. No rattlesnakes. Are you giving that to Corey? Is he in the... I mean... and geese. No rattlers. No rattlesnakes. Geese even made it. Is he in the... It's very important. The game is very tight right now. There's seven species of bear in the world.

I didn't mean panda bear. Listen, dude. I don't know that it's good enough. I like it more than Hayden does. However, how can you quantify that? I don't know that it's good enough. Really? I like you more than Hayden does. However. How can you quantify that? I don't think we're going to take bear.

I think you need to be more specific. I'm never taking you fishing again. Were you imagining a bear when you were a bear? What kind of bear do you have in mind? An American bear. An American bear. I don't think we're going to take it. As a player, I would say bear. An American bear. An American bear. I don't think we're going to take it. As a player, I would say.

Doug Dern offered, if you ever need it. Doug Dern offered. Oh, yeah, the lifeline. Yeah, you do a pretty good job. But no, Doug Dern offered like a totally neutral, which I don't believe. Well, I think we'd have to not tell him who gave the answer. That's a good point. Right.

And then he could be neutral. You should call him. You want to call him up? I think in this case, but it's a wildlife question. And it's like we're dealing with brass tacks here. So you would say no to not accepting bear. It'd be a better trivia game if you said no. We're saying no.

The answer is no. Sorry, Corey. It does not count. Why did they put a seagull on there? You'll find a bald eagle on page... That's a good point, because how many species of seagulls are there? Right. But there are only two bears in North America, so he's just as right as he is wrong. That's not true. Really?

Polar bears, grizzly bears, black bears. Yeah. Well, I wasn't really counting polar bears, but I guess... Well, it's North America, and it's a bear. No, okay, okay, fine. You'll find a't really counting polar bears. Well, it's North America and it's a bear. Okay, okay, fine. You'll find a bald eagle on page 3, 12, and 13, a seagull on page 11, bison on page 13, a flock of geese on page 16, and a grizzly eating a salmon on page 24. Hey, you know, I got a question for you. Is there a person on there?

There are some humans. So what if I was a smartass and wrote human? We'd have a fight on our hands, wouldn't we? I wouldn't say it's a wild animal. You said wild animal? I said wild animal because besides those wild animals, an American passport also features images of oxen, longhorns, and horses.

I know some humans that are kind of wild animals. Pretty feral. I was going to say the same thing. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have one question left to decide who the four people are that move on to our championship next week. I love going to say the same thing. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have one question left to decide who the four people are that move on to our championship next week. I love this. We've got Maggie Heldlow, Corey, and Chester, all with four points

apiece. Steve has five and Hayden has seven. Oh, wow. So it could get rich. Yeah, I think there's going to be a tiebreaker. We could have a four-person tiebreaker to determine who's making it. Hayden has already won it. I could falter.

You could. They could all rise. Wow. Question 10, the topic is cooking. This state officially lists chili as its state dish, jalapeno as its state pepper, pecans as its state nut, and tortilla chips and salsa as its state dish, jalapeno as its state pepper, pecans as its state nut, and tortilla chips and salsa as its state snack. What is it? This state officially lists chili as its state dish, jalapeno as its state pepper, pecans as its state nut, and tortilla chips and salsa as its state snack.

What state is it? A lot on the line for this final question. You're talking about pecans, guys. Oh. That changes it. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for the state. Getting hot here. Everybody good?

What is it? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Texas, Texas, Texas. Hayden saying Oklahoma. Chester saying New Mexico. Marge saying Texas. And Corinne saying Texas. The correct answer is Texas.

Yes. Which I believe makes Chester our loser. And puts Steve, Maggie Hudlow, Corey, and Hayden in the next round. Is that right, Phil? You are correct. Chester, you know what, dude?

I was with you until I got to thinking about pecans. Because Jesse Griffith all fired up about pecans all the time and shit. People selling them on the side of the road there. And they're native to that area. It's a very pecan country. It'd be hatched chili if it was New Mexico.

That's what I was saying. Chilis. Tortilla chips. I almost wrote it and I was like, but I've never seen a pecan in New Mexico. They might be there, but it's not like a big deal. Maggie, you had a fire second half. New Mexico cares about chilis. You had a fire second half? I'm not going to's. First half. You had a fire second half?

I'm not going to lie. I thought about Texas, too, and I was just. Too obvious. Watching Maggie play, I was reminded of the 1980 face-off between the Soviets and America in the Olympics. And ice hockey. Man, that was. Miracle on ice.

Do you believe in miracles? God, that movie's awesome. Yes. Honored. That was big. I just tanked. I think Maggie had one right

through the first five, and I think Chester started off three for three, maybe. Yeah, he was rolling a perfect game.

Yeah. So was it luck, or did he get cocky? Or, I mean, Maggie's just the Kurt Russell of the company.

Everyone says so. Yeah. That's right. Chester did not lose it. Maggie won it. Also, Hayden is our winner. This is his first ever victory.

Woo! Deep. Pretty authoritative victory. How many did you get? Eight, right? Seven. Seven. That's great.

Hayden, you get to choose where the $500 donation goes. So what's it going to be? Can I pick a specific chapter of an organization? Oh, yeah. I would like to donate to the Gallatin chapter of Trout Unlimited. What do you like about that? That they like trout in the area that I live. That's good.

That's what I like. And it's like we're in like a mecca of fly fishing, so it's like kind of like the heart of it. So I don't know. That's good. Congrats on your first one. We have Hayden, Steve, Maggie, and Corey moving on to the final episode next week. Tune in there for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
