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 Giannis Petelis, Alyssa Smith, Corey Calkins, Garrett Long, Hayden Samick, Seth Morris, and Carl Hansen.

Now, Carl, this is your first time on the show, so tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater. Already got some applause in the room. Yeah, like one. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I am the gear and media coordinator. Which is about as exciting as it sounds.

I'm basically the stay-at-home dad for our camera equipment. So, I take care of it. I fix it when it breaks, which is all the freaking time. Yeah. And then send it back out on the road. And when something goes missing, is that are you the one who finds it, or are you the one who lost it? No, I'm the one who accuses people of taking it like I did with Hayden just yesterday.

Like in front of 80 people. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Be a slack. Come on. In front of 80 people. That's a stretch. Who's a prime suspect? You make it sound like I gathered everyone up outside with pitchforks and torches.

Like Steve with his fish. Which, yeah, did we ever solve that? I still think it was Seth. He was the last one. I want to say Carl has a job that no one kind of sees what's going on. And no one appreciates what he does because no one sees it. But it's like. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to steal stuff.

Especially fish. As a camera guy that breaks camera gear, Carl's a saint. Very kind of you, Seth. Geez Louise. You should let me win, too. Carl, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from 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 winner's choosing. And each week here on Trivia, we reveal a new stat. This week, we're looking at performance in the cooking category. Our top three performers are Steve Rinella, who gets 65% of cooking questions right, Giannis Patelis, who gets 64%, and Brody Henderson, who gets 61%. How do you feel about that, Gianni?

Ah, it puts a smile on my face. One percentage point away from being at the top. Yeah, but I know because you care about details like this, but the last name is Pootellus. Do I mess that up every time? No, it's just kind of a short, it's almost E sounding. And like, if you really want to nail it, you have to make sure that it's a long U sound.

And am I saying like Pootellus? Yeah. Okay, Pootellus. Like poop, Pootellus. Like poop. Pootellus. You ever get that joke? Exactly. That's what they used to say in fourth grade.

Is it really what they used to say? It is exactly what they used to say. Wow. Tread lightly, Spencer. I'll be careful. Hey, Carl, how many out of 10 questions, how many are you going to get right today? I'd be happy with a strong two.

Okay. Yeah. Okay, bar is low. That's my average as well. If you're firing at 64% on cooking questions, like, yeah, I don't know if I can get 64%. So, we'll see. Back to the cooking category. Our bottom three performers when it comes to cooking are Clay Newcomb, who gets 30%, Mark Kenyon, who gets 25%, and Rick Hutton, who has yet to get a cooking question right.

It's amazing. Rick has put up one of the most interesting performances in meat eater trivia that I've seen. When it comes to cooking and fishing, I think cooking he's batting 0%, fishing is like 15%, but then hunting and conservation is 70%.

If meat eater ever eliminated half of its verticals, Rick would run the whole show instead of Steve because he knows so dang much about hunting and conservation. Wow. Full on domination. I think, like, I know Rick pretty well and I feel like that's very accurate. That's reflective not much of an angler or a cook. Yes. But knows everything there is to know about conservation.

Conservation, hunting, rifles. Yeah. Have you ever caught him Conservation, hunting, rifles. Yeah. Have you ever caught him just like eating dry pasta? Just like chomping it down? Just like, all right, yeah, that checks out. Not that I can remember. Okay, so that's good. We have some housekeeping to get to.

In a previous game of trivia, we talked about the legendary Bow Whoop shotgun. The gun got its name from the distinct noise it made when fired. Brody asked why it sounded different than any other waterfowling shotgun, and we finally got our answer. Rick Henley from Rock Island Auction wrote in to say that the Bow Whoop was an HE Super Fox shotgun. It was one of the first shotguns in the world to use 3-inch magnum shells during a time when 2- and 3-quarter quarter inch shells were the norm. Nash Buckingham, who owned the Bow Whoop, was one of the first people to test these new overboard barrels and bigger shells. So essentially, the Bow Whoop's distinct noise came from the fact that it was

using longer shells than every other duck gun in America. The Bow Whoop is currently owned by Ducks Unlimited. They took it hunting in 2016 and got some of the only footage ever of the Bow Whoop being fired. Play the clip, Phil. Good shot. Here you go. How about Bow Whoop, huh? Hey! Now that might not have sounded as impressive as you hoped,

but in the 1930s, that gun was audibly one of a kind. Rick said it's the equivalent of when you're duck hunting today and you can tell who on the lake is shooting 3.5-inch shells versus 3-inch shells. Does that answer your question, Yanni, about how the bow whoop sounded? Was that my question? No, it was Brody's question, but I could tell you were wondering it. No, but that does bring back fond memories. I like the same thing in Wisconsin, like on opening day of rifle season,

when you're just listening to all the distant rifle shots, and you're like, oh, that was probably like a little 6.5, and then all of a sudden somewhere a cannon goes off, and you're like, what is that guy doing shooting deer with that thing? Same thing. Like Rick said, three and a half inch shells versus three inch shells in 2022. That's why the bow whoop sounded so special in the 1930s. Now the Shelby Index for today's game of trivia is a 3.5.

So our winner should get about seven correct answers. So did you give her a half point or did she give herself a half point? You know, she usually rewards herself half points, and I have to do so much arguing with our trivia players in the room that I just don't bother to argue with her. Very smart. So if she rewards herself a half point, she gets a half point. Now, the Shelby Index last time I played did not hold true,

because I believe that I only had one more than she did to win the game. That was the most off it's been. Three and a half today feels right. I think somebody in this room has seven correct answers in them. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything.

How's that? You stand toigh everything. How's that? You just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one, the topic is hunting, and as always, this will be multiple choice. What Canadian pop star was the target of a 2015 Change.org petition that demanded she stop hunting? Was it Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, or Taylor Swift? What Canadian pop star was the target of a 2015 Change.org petition that demanded she stop hunting. Your four choices are Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, or Taylor Swift. Anybody know this?

I think I do. I didn't know they were Canadian. Carl, you're a pop music fan. I'm good. No, I'm not. I'm saying you are. Do you know what you're saying? Are all the artists that you mentioned are they all Canadian I'm not going to give any details hmm the question is what

Canadian pop star was the target of a 2015 change that or petition that demanded she stop haunting everybody have an answer well that would that help you Yanni if I said yes or no? Yeah. I don't think so. Give me the choices one more time. Your choices are Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift. Seth, you listen to pop music, right? That doesn't help. I could drop some hints for you, Seth.

Does everybody have an answer? But Spencer gets really mad when I do that. So angry. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Avril. Garrett saying T-Swift. I think she's the only Canadian. Corey saying Avril Lavigne. Alyssa saying Avril Lavigne.

Seth saying Lady Gaga. Gianna saying Avril Lavigne. And Carl saying Taylor Swift. That's not all I said. Lady Gaga famously wore a meat dress. The correct answer is Avril Lavigne. And yes, Gianni, she is the only Canadian from your choices. Respect, Phil.

I don't know who that is. I don't either. You don't know? How old are you? You're like prime age to know Avril Lavigne. Wow. She thinks that complicated. Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I know who Garth Brooks is. George Street. I said that was a good karaoke staple. I told you they're all trick questions. You should have put down Garth Brooks. Avril Lavigne grew up hunting with her dad and brother, and is listed in one of her favorite pastimes. The Change.org petition that demanded she stop hunting

garnered just over 1,000 signatures. The last person to sign it was Jamie Tanner, who said his reason for supporting the petition is because, quote, she's a stupid, ugly whore. Wow. Wow. Okay. There you go.

Maybe that's why I don't know her. We should get her on the podcast. Fuck Putin and fuck Jamie. And yes, as Hayden pointed out, Lady Gaga is a big fan of PETA and once wore the meat dress, too. I don't know what that was, the Oscars or the Emmy Awards or something. I think that was the first time I became aware of that person. Miley Cyrus is also quite anti-hunting Taylor Swift.

I don't know about her background. Avril Lavigne is the correct answer. Question two. The topic is fishing. This is our WorkSharp listener question of the week, which was won by Josh Eastwood. For sending this great question, Josh is going to get a WorkSharp care package

that includes three of our favorite knife sharpeners. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. Six states combine to form the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Name three of those states. Six states combine to form the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Name three of those states. Phil, what have you gotten that last question right? Yeah, because I knew she was the only Canadian. Oh, good on you.

Do you know, like, specifically where the other three artists hail from? No, I mean, Taylor Swift claimed she lives in Tennessee, but she's from Pennsylvania. Miley Cyrus is Tennessee. Yeah. And Lady Gaga is New York. Good on you. I had to Google those things. You just know them organically.

It's sad. Thank you. Question two again is six states combined to form the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Name three of those states. I hate East Coast geography. I like it because it kind of plays into... Wait, three or two? Three of the six

states. Carl, only write down three. If you write down four, you get it wrong. Why? Three of the states. Circle three. I'm just writing four. I'm kind of going back and forth between two. Hayden, of all people, you should... If to write four. I'm kind of going back and forth between two.

Hayden, of all people, you should. If you write four, you get it wrong. Come on, aren't you from that part of the country? Oh, no, I just got to make. I mean, there's six states that you can choose from. Yeah, I know. I mean, I know, but there's one that's hanging me up for a reason that'll. Is everybody ready? I'm excited to hear about this.

Alyssa? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. Garrett saying New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania. Corey saying Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island. Alyssa saying Maine, Massachusetts,

Virginia. Seth saying Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Giannis saying saying Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Giannis saying North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Carl saying Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island. These six states are New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Hayden, you do not get it. D.C. is not a state.

That's what I'm saying. That was my hang-up. Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. I don't understand what would be your hang-up. If you were people down like Alberta or Puerto Rico, that would not be right. Well, I thought it was... I got it. I got you.

See, like, that was my problem. Seth got it. Although the Chesapeake Bay is only bordered by Maryland and Virginia, it also catches water from four other states. More than 150 streams and rivers drain into the estuary, including the James and Potomac Rivers. I took Delaware off for D.C. because I'm a genius. Does Phil put in talk show lasers and stuff when he's going to dig it? Sometimes. Give up your answers.

I think that Avril question is going to carry me through a little bit. Question three. The topic is cooking. Okay. What Midwestern city is famous for their skyline chili? What Midwestern city is famous for their skyline chili? What is skyline chili? Yeah. It's a secret.

We'll find out in the follow-up factoid. What is skyline chili? Yeah. It's a secret. We'll find out in the follow-up factoid. It appears as though Yanni and Seth both know this. Do you boys, in fact, know this with certainty? Nope. I have one answer that came in my head, and that's what I'm going with. Yannis? Certainty is a strong word, but I'm close to certain. What Midwestern city is famous for their skyline

chili? It's very plain, this chili. What was your percentage on cooking, Yanni? 60-something. 64? 64%. One percentage point behind Steve was 65%. You have a 64% chance that you're gonna get

the skyline chili. Now, Hayden, here we're looking for a city. No, it's great. If you were to write down a state, it would not be right. Does everybody have an answer? He gives you a major hint that it's in the Midwest. Keep that in mind. I'm going to throw this board at you.

Everybody have an answer. Texas. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Cincinnati. Garrett saying Chicago. Corey saying Cincinnati. Alyssa saying St. Louis. This is Hayden saying Cincinnati. Garrett saying Chicago. Corey saying Cincinnati. Alyssa saying St. Louis. This is making me feel good.

Seth saying Chicago. Giannis saying Cincinnati. And Carl saying Chicago. We have a correct answer in the room. It's Cincinnati. Hell yeah. Skyline Chili is unique in that it's usually seasoned with some combination of chocolate, cinnamon, or nutmeg,

and often served over spaghetti noodles. If you want to learn how to make this regional dish, then go to TheMeatEater.com and check out Justin Townsend's recipe for venison skyline chili. Yanni, didn't you just say it was like two ingredients? Yeah, Yanni, you're quite wrong there. The skyline chili is very different. It usually has raw onions on top A whole bunch of cheese

And then he said there's chocolate in it You're naming toppings No, but the chocolate And cinnamon and nutmeg and allspice Those are unique chili ingredients True But if you just look at a bowl of Skyline Chili You'd be like

It looks like there's just meat in that chili sauce. Yeah, you'd be like, where's the beans at? There's no corn in there, any of that weird stuff. Yeah, like it's great on top of a hot dog. Have you had it? Oh, man. Have you had it, Yanni? Yeah.

Do you like it? Yeah, love it. You should follow Justin's recipe on our website. Question four. The topic is biology. This next great question comes to us via Andrew Jones. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. In 2011, a mountain lion was struck by a vehicle in Connecticut

after traveling 1,500 miles from what state? In 2011, a mountain lion was struck by a vehicle in Connecticut after traveling 1,500 miles from what state? D.C. Dude, I'm gonna slap you. Chocolate chili.

Seems as though nobody knows this one. Yanni had the quickest answer. Yanni, the quickest answer. Yanni, you feel okay about it? No, it's down in the dark. Looking for the state that this mountain lion came from. Carl, do you know about how far 1,500 miles is? No, not a clue.

Not a clue? The road I grew up on, it was 24 miles from the nearest neighbor. So you know 24 miles real well. So I measure everything in that amount. Okay. Yeah, 24 miles from the nearest neighbor so you know 24 miles real well so i measure everything in that amount okay yeah 24 miles that's my does everybody have an answer about what state this mountain lion came from before being killed in connecticut 1500 miles is a lot of sawbill trails thoughts does everybody have an answer it's a struggle around here being the only two Montanans that work at the company I know How many generations

Do the Longs go back here Garrett? Long ways I want to say It's five How about you Corey? I was the first Folks came from California Oh Garrett wins

That's a hot topic Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Iowa, Garrett saying Minnesota, Corey saying Michigan, Alyssa saying South Carolina, Seth saying North Dakota, Giannis saying South Dakota,

and Carl saying Minnesota. A diverse group of answers, and we have a correct answer in the room. It's South Dakota. I was going to put it. Wow. Damn it. DNA tests show this cougar originated from the Black Hills of South Dakota,

making it the longest dispersal ever documented for the species. Although it was 1,500 miles away, the crow flies, biologists suspect its route was actually more like 1,800 miles based on fecal and hair samples gathered in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York. It's estimated the cougar had been wandering for two years before dying 70 miles from New York City. Okay, so it came from South Dakota, but I bet if you asked it, it would say Minnesota was its home.

It didn't take a direct flight to Connecticut or anything. And you said they collected samples from Minnesota. You said Minnesota first, so he probably called Minnesota home, so I should get a half point for that. Question five. The topic is hunting. Two national parks enlisted hunters to harvest non-native mountain goats in 2020. Name one of those national parks.

A lot of very quick answers in the room from everybody except for Alyssa and Carl. Two national parks enlisted hunters to harvest non-native mountain goats in 2020. Name one of those national parks. Yanni, you know this? I know the name of the mountains, but I don't know if that's the name of the park. Be careful, Yanni. Garrett, you know this?

I think so. Did you volunteer for this hunt? No. No. Did anybody in this room volunteer for these hunts? I think we applied one time. I applied. Didn't get picked.

Didn't we have to apply as a group? Yes. I remember that. That's correct. A couple folks that worked for Meat Eater got picked. Who did? And First Light. Rick Ford. We better quit with the hints.

I didn't know that. I forget who else. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for one of the two national parks. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Cascade. Garrett saying Teton, Corey saying Teton, Alyssa saying Glacier,

Seth saying Grand Teton, Giannis saying Teton, and Carl saying Yellowstone. The two national parks were Olympic National Park and the Grand Teton National Park. So a few folks got it. Are you going to give us Teton? I'm the only one that said Grand Teton, Spencer. Ooh, that's a tough one, Spencer.

What do you think, Phil? I'd give it to him. That's right. Damn you, Phil. The Culling Program in the Grand Tetons used 108 volunteer hunters to kill 43 goats. The Culling Program in Olympic National Park used 99 volunteer hunters to

kill 31 goats. The park service in the Grand Tetons made hunters leave the head, horns, and cape at the kill site, but they did allow the meat to be harvested. Seth, do you know if any of those fellas picked from First Light or Meat Eater, did they go on the hunt? Did they get one? They went on the hunt. I don't think they even saw any.

Yeah. I know a gal that went, I believe it was Jess Johnson, which some of you know here. Did she get one? I don't believe so. I think she's been a couple years now. And, but the, my takeaway from her retelling the story of being there was that it was very unethical hunting like you go you go to the little pre pre pre-meeting before the hunt and they're like look if there are three animals lined up in a row take one shot that hopefully goes through all three of them yeah like the the

goal there is to kill as much as possible it's not ethical hunting and so that was like a real it was like a contrast for her. That was like kind of hard to get it, wrap her head around it. Going into the haunt was like, okay, we don't care what happens other than the animal dies. Yeah.

They want you like shooting kids and everything. They, uh, goats clarification. Yeah. Kid goats, not kid park dwellers. Um,

if you like, if you, if they didn't get them a helicopter, a guy with a gun and a helicopter was going to get them. I wonder what the justification of leaving the cape and horns. I think it's so you're not like, so you are just like killing to kill, and you're not like, well, I'm going to hold on for a big old belly. That's exactly it. I think a lot of folks.

They've never met me. Me included. When they applied for this, we're like, oh, yeah, it's going to be 100% success. So it's surprising to hear there's only like 30% to 40% success rates. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. In last place, we have Carl Hansen. Zero points.

Alyssa has one point. Coming up next are Seth, Hayden, and Garrett with two points apiece. Corey has three, and in first place, Giannis Petelis. Four points. Nice. Tight game. Can we get some camera questions or something in there? Where's the bone that you usually throw

the new guests? That's a pillar of meat eater or whatever. If you work for a meat eater, you don't get one. Your bone is the ten questions about the things that we cover. Uh-huh. Hey, folks.

Question six. The topic is cooking. This next great question comes to us via Nick Watkins. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to

trivia at themeateater.com. This French word refers to meat that's been cooked and preserved in its own fat. This French word refers to meat that's been cooked preserved in its own fat. This French word refers to meat that's been cooked and preserved in its own fat.

Very quick answer from Hayden and Seth. Spelling is going to be wrong, I believe. I think that my cooking success is higher than you. Hayden, I have all the stats. It is not higher than those three folks. But is it close? I'll get an answer while we're looking. You distract the rest of the room

and do some filler for me here. He really needs it to be close, Spencer. Tell him he's a good cook. Hunter informed me that I have a high war score. I didn't know what that meant, though. Wins above replacement.

It is media trivia's only advanced stat. You hear that, Seth? I got a good advanced stat. Wins above replacement? Wins above replacement. I just hope Yanni gets one. I play a decent amount. Yanni, go listen to the Mets episode, and you'll learn all about it.

Okay. Spencer, would you please repeat the question? You're high up on there, too, Yannis. Spencer, will you repeat the question in French, please? The question is, this French word refers to meat that's been cooked and preserved in its own fat. Does that help you? No cheating, Hayden. I want the record to show I caught Hayden looking at my board.

Hayden, the man who thinks that he has the best cooking score. Hayden, I have the stats in front of me. You are batting 43% in the cooking category. It's not bad. It's not bad. It's about to get a little higher. He was hoping to get 50. Does everybody have an answer?

You've got to be careful, Hayden. You're going to be getting down those Kenyan ranges, and we don't want that. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying confit. Garrett saying, what does that say, Garrett?

Oh, that's F-N-J-U-L-A. It's the old French term for confit. Okay. Corey saying, what does that say, Corey? I just made up a word. Okay. Nice.

Alyssa without an answer. Seth saying, confit. That's confit. Yana saying, confit. And Carl saying, baguette. What's in that? That's not baguette. He just thought of a French word.

Good on you. The correct answer is confit. Juvenile. This is a fantastic way to use meat from ducks and geese. To learn the process, go to TheMeatEater.com and read Wade's recipe for duck confit, Steve's recipe for goose confit, or Danielle's recipe for gizzard confit.

I did some turkey legs in confit. How'd that turn out? Sous vide style. You can use a lot less oil. Sous vide confit? Si. Oui, oui. That would be oui.

I feel like you putting Giannis in here with all of us is just padding his numbers. You think so? It's like a pretty weak representation. You gotta have

separate stats for when Steve and Brody aren't here. Yeah, yeah. Question seven. The topic is conservation. This three-word movement, which encourages people to be mindful

of their impact on nature, became a conservation organization in 1994. This three-word movement, which encourages people to be mindful of their impact on nature, became a conservation organization in 1994.

Quick answers from Carl and Hayden. Carl, is this going to get you on the board? This might be it. Okay. And I demand an extra half point if I actually get it right. Corey seems like he knew it. The rest of the room has yet to write down an answer. Corey, you know this?

I think so. I practice it all the time. This three-word movement, which encourages people to be mindful of their impact on nature, became a conservation organization in 1994. Giannis is stumped. He's trying to think

of all the three-word things he knows in the world. Not in the world, just ones that, you know. The Lampy and Eagle. Conservation. Does everybody have an answer? No.

I don't, as you can see on my board. Give me some time. What's max time on these? Is there a timer? Until it becomes uninteresting. For Romeo, you know, it's two minutes. Rummy Cube. You ever play that game?

What do you call it? Romeo? Yeah, what? Romeo? Yeah, you can call it Rummy Cube or Romeo. I's two minutes. Rummy Cube. You ever play that game? What do you call it? Romeo? Yeah, what? Romeo? Yeah, you can call it Rummy Cube or Romeo. I thought it was just Rummy. That's a different game. No.

Garrett, you know this one? Oh, yeah. Yeah? Everybody but Yanni knows it. Uh-oh. Ooh. Anyone's game, Spencer. Yanni, it's about to become uninteresting.

Yeah, no, no. I'll go no answer. Does everybody else have an answer? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying leave no trace. Garrett saying just say no. I believe that was Dare's slogan instead.

Corey saying leave no trace. Alyssa, leave no trace. Seth saying keep it public. Yannis without an answer. And Carl, leave no trace. Alyssa, leave no trace. Seth saying, keep it public. Giannis without an answer. And Carl saying, leave no trace. Carl got it. The answer is leave no trace. I'm coming for you, Gianni. I don't think there's enough questions

left for me to catch up to you, but... Although leave no trace became its own non-profit in 1994, the concept is much older than that. The Boy Scouts of America have been teaching its principles since the 1970s. And in 1987, the U.S. Forest Service, BLM, and National Park Service developed a pamphlet titled Leave No Trace Land Ethics. So I grew up on the edge of the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota. And everybody who enters the Boundary Waters has to watch a video before you go in, and they really club you over the head with the whole Leave No Trace thing.

That's real? You have to watch a video? Yeah, it's part of it, and there's like a little quiz too, but nobody ever does that. But the video you have to watch. Leave No Trace. And people always complain about it. They're like, I watched this video twice last year, man. I was like, I've watched it 15 times today. Okay, sit down, shut up, watch it. I leave no trace. Garrett went with the just say no, which, again, I think is what middle school DARE programs teach when it comes to drugs. Yeah, it just came to mind.

It's the only three-word phrase I know. I like it. Question eight. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Matt Dunaway. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What are the two colors used on the side lights of boats? I feel like it's a softball for Seth.

It's a Seth bone. What are the two colors used on the side lights of boats? Corey is stumped. More of a drift boat guy. You don't have lights on those, do you? Meanwhile, Seth has more electronics on his boat than the podcast studio. You know this one, Seth? Yes.

I don't want to. Carl? I think I know this one. Foundry Waterman thinks he knows it. Yeah, well, yeah, the canoes didn't have lights on them, but I did do a sailing trip not too long ago. Giannis, have you created an answer yet? I have.

Looking for the two colors used on the side lights of boats. Does everybody have an answer yet? I have. Looking for the two colors used on the side lights of boats. Does everybody have an answer? Yes. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying green and red. Garrett saying red and green. Corey saying red and yellow. Alyssa saying green and blue. Seth saying red

and green. Giannis, red and green. Carl, green and red. The room did very well. It is red and green. Who are the red and green. Carl, green and red. The room did very well. It is red and green. Who are the only people that didn't get it, Spencer? I don't know. Didn't have to be in that order, did it? Corey and Alyssa?

Red and yellow, red and yellow. Side lights are meant to be visible to other vessels that are approaching from the front or side. The red lights are always on the port side, and the green lights are always on the starboard side. For boats less than 39 feet long, the lights are supposed to be visible from one mile away. You know, it's very hard to remember which side is which when you are only in a boat once a year. You need to know that.

And a good way to remember which side is port is that port wine is red. Or port is four letters and left is four letters. That's a good one, too. It's the other way. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. I think it got interesting in the second half of trivia here.

It's pretty interesting. We have four players left in the game. Those four players are Seth and Corey with four points, Hayden with five, and Giannis Poutelis with six. Whoa. I got to stumble, man. Shelby Index says I need one more. Reading true.

Two questions left. Question nine. The topic is gear. Oh, come on. Oh. Why are we upset about that one, Hayden? Because Giannis has a wonderful podcast called Gear Talk

and I need him to drop the ball on one and I need to come up on one. What's that podcast about, Giannis? It's out right now by the time this airs. So Giannis, talk about it. Jordan, Bud, and I get together and talk about all things gear. New, old.

New again? New again. Yeah. Anything you want to know about gear. Is it specific to hunting gear? It is mostly hunting gear, some camping gear, some fishing gear, but whatever kind of gear Jordan and I use. Gotcha.

Giannis, I'm guessing that podcast is not going to help folks with this question, though. Okay. Glamping is a combination of what two words? Have you guys covered glamping on the show yet? We have not. Do you think you ever will? We should. You think you should cover glamping?

Yeah. That would be a fun episode. Talk to a glamping expert. Do you know any folks that are glampers? No. Again, the question is, glamping is a combination of what two words? A lot of very quick answers in the room. Folks are confident. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying glamorous and camping. Garrett saying glamorous camping. Corey said glamorous camping. Glamorous camping. Glamorous camping. Yanni, glamour camping. Carl saying glamour camping.

They got it. It is glamorous and camping. If you just said glamour, I'd give it to you. Glamping refers to a form of camping that involves accommodations more luxurious than those normally associated with traditional camping. The word was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2016.

Does a one of those like rooftop tents fall into that category? No. Absolutely not. Spencer only glamps. Yeah, because I kind of think it does. Phil, we have one question left. Who is left in the game? We do.

Everyone got a point, but now the only two players left in the game are Giannis, who is in first place with seven, and on his tail with six points, Hayden Samick. Question 10. Get him. Good happen, Hayden. The topic is hunting. Oh. What famous hunting ranch in Texas has a Ford pickup named after it that's been in production since 2001?

Ugh, bones. What famous hunting ranch in Texas has a Ford pickup named after it that's been in production since 2001? Yanni, you know this? I believe so. Oh, that's not very fun. Seth knew itanni, you know this? I believe so. Oh, that's not very fun. Seth knew it right away before I even finished the question. Hayden, you know this? Yeah, I do.

We need Yanni to get it wrong and Hayden to get it right to go to a tiebreaker. Yannis, you could just throw it, man. Yanni, you love tiebreakers. I do. I do like a good tiebreaker. But he also loves winning. Yanni hunted on a ranch that borders this ranch. The Fort Duck.

Hey, hey, hey. That's helpful. Seth, you're going to get in trouble. No one knows what ranch you hunted on. He does. Does everybody have an answer? Steve would smash you in the head right now. Steve also hunted on that ranch.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Longhorn, Garrett saying King, Corey saying King, Alyssa saying King, Seth saying King, Yannis saying King, and Carl saying the F-150 ranch. The correct answer is the King Ranch. Oh. Well, as it turns out, I didn't know it. At 825,000 acres, the King Ranch is larger than the state of Rhode Island.

Their partnership with Ford was struck up in the late 90s because the ranch needed a lot of trucks, and Ford was on the lookout for a good branding opportunity. The ranch is home to about 70,000 deer, 18,000 Nilgai, and 6,000 turkey. Giannis, our winner, did you kill something on that ranch? Not on the King Ranch, but on the neighboring ranch, I did. What'd you get? Killed a Nilgai and two pigs. And was it just like a game paradise over there?

Yes. And were you very aware that the King Ranch was next door? Yes. But the King Ranch is like a county. So when you're like the King Ranch is next door.

More than a county. Yeah. I killed my first pig on that ranch. The same ranch that Yanni, not the King Ranch, but the one next door.

The story I like to tell is that we were there in February hunting the Nilgai and pigs. It was after deer season. I don't know is that we were there in February hunting the nil guy and pigs. It was after deer season. I don't know if that plays anything to do, plays into my story, but we would be flanking, following, you know, groups of nil guy,

trying to get into position for a bow shot. And we'd have whitetail bucks sort of like moving the opposite direction of us through the woods, not more than, you know, 30, 40 yards away, like within bow range. And they would just sort of stop moving the opposite direction of us through the woods not more than you know 30 40 yards away like within bow range and they would just sort of stop kind of look at you you look back at them and they'd be like hey see ya i'm going that way you just kind of keep on moving like it was that kind of a game rich place where the bucks are just like hey you just like acknowledge each other yeah they're like we don't i don't i know i don't need to spook yanni with an authoritative victory. Eight correct answers. I think

the next closest was a handful of folks. They got six. What happens next is you get to choose where the $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. So what's it going to be? I'm going to go with the Sportsman's Alliance this time, Spencer. What do you like about them? I like that they

do the hard conservation work that i think that most of us uh hunter conservationists uh wish we did more of and wish we had the time to do more of um like they're out there daily staying on top of the anti-hunting legislation that seems to be bombarding us these days and defending hunting trapping um and especially those like fringe hunting and trapping uh activities they're working hard to keep those legal uh so they're not so the anti-hunters can't chip away at the edges so yeah do yours do all of us a favor and go and uh become a member of sportsman's alliance at a minimum if you're not going to support them in a monetary

way, you should follow them on Instagram because they have daily updates about different bills in different states that all folks who like to hunt and fish and recreate in the outdoors should be aware of. Giannis sending $500 their way. Join us next time. Thanks guys, I appreciate you guys

letting me win another one. You're a champ. Thank you Giannis, thank Carl, for joining us. That's it for this game of Mediator Trivia.
