Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Stephen Ranella, Brody Henderson, Seth Morris, Hayden Samick, Randall Williams, and Mike Kunz. Now, Mike, this is your first time playing Meat Eater Trivia.

How do you feel about your chances? Pretty poor. Okay. Why is that? Because I never played it before. Oh, that's a good reason. Now, Steve. For everyone listening, Mike discovered the Mesa site.

Yeah. You can hear him on Monday's episode. He discovered the Mesa site, a paleo-Indian site in Arctic Alaska. Steve has a theory that when it comes to meat-eater trivia, the older you are, the better you'll perform. So I think you have an advantage today. He's the oldest player we've ever had. Would you share your age? 80.

80. I think that beats our oldest player by probably 20 years at least. So welcome to the show, Mike. Mike, now if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meadeater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the bone that I throw to guess. Now, Mike, when we get playing here, one of the 10 questions... This is a great stat. One of the 10 questions is going to be firmly in your wheelhouse. You'll recognize it when it comes up.

We're going to look at a stat about what that means. This happens when a Meat Dealer podcast guest is kind enough to stick around and play trivia, and I give them one question that's squarely in their wheelhouse. Now, for the other nine questions asked, our trivia guests have a 34% chance of getting the correct answer.

But for the bone that I throw to guests, they have an 89% chance of getting the correct answer. Bone works. That means guest performance increases by 55% on the questions where I throw them a bone. Damn. So you have an 89% chance today of getting at least one question right, Mike. I like your odds. Yeah, they're good. Now we have some housekeeping to get to before we play.

In a previous episode, we had a question about how many states east of the Rocky Mountains have huntable populations of mule deer. The correct answer was six, and those states were North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. But a few listeners wrote in saying that Texas is actually considered part of the Rocky Mountain range. Oh, it was the Davis Mountains? Davis Mountains and the Guadalupe. Yeah. Now, when I Googled this, the sites that I could find making this claim were mostly from Texas, like the Texas Historical Association and Texas Monthly Magazine. On the contrary, places like the U.S. Geological Survey, Encyclopedia Britannica, and New World Encyclopedia all define the Rocky Mountains as ending in New Mexico. The Encyclopedia Britannica admits that the Rocky Mountain mapping can be arbitrary, but that if the line isn't drawn at Albuquerque, New Mexico,

then it could theoretically stretch as far north as Alaska and as far south as South America. Instead, most consider this greater region to be the American Cordillera, which is a parent mountain. Cordillera. How do I say it? Cordillera. Cordillera. Oh, really? I didn't know that.

That'd be a good trivia question. Which is a parent mountain range for smaller ranges, such as the Rockies, Sierra Nevadas, Cascades, and Brooks Range. Now, I'll concede that the question introduces some subjective mapping, but I'm going to stick with my guns that Texas is not a Rocky Mountain state, and thus

there are six states east of the Rocky Mountains that have huntable mule deer populations. Classic Texas, man. Like, wow, kind of like the Arctic. Very predictable. Yeah. They want it all. Now, Mike, you have some experience in that part of the country around New Mexico. Would you count Texas as being a

Rocky Mountain state? What do you think of that? Absolutely not. Okay, good. Then we have our firm answer. Why is that? Why is it not a Rocky Mountain state? Because it isn't. Perfectly said. That's Then we have our firm answer. Why is that? Why is it not a rock and roll? Because it isn't. Perfectly said. That's why we have you here. Now the Shelby Index for this round is a three and a half,

so our winner should get about seven correct answers. And 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 to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is hunting, and as always, this will be multiple choice. What body part is often associated with a dork stamp? Is it eye, forearm, shin, or shoulder? Again, the topic is hunting. What's a dork stamp?

The topic is hunting. The topic is hunting. The question is what body part is often associated with a dork stamp? Your choices are eye, forearm, shin, or shoulder. Nobody knew this one. Oh. The room looks agitated. Steve has anything.

Do them in order again. Okay. We're looking for what body part is associated with a dork stamp. Is it eye, forearm, shin, or shoulder? Here's the problem I have. Well, let's just

wait. Does everyone know what a dork stamp is? I'm not going to talk about it, man, because it's like a trivia game, dude. Again, choices. Eye, forearm, shin, shoulder. The room is agitated. After we get through this, are you going to explain what this has to do with hunting? I got a whole lot of questions.

Does everybody have an angry answer? Not angry, I'm confused. I don't like the way this one's starting. Go ahead. Is it like a tramp stamp? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Why is it hunting? We have Steve saying shin.

Oh, but it should have been I. We have Mike saying shoulder. Brody saying shin. Can I change mine to I? Hayden saying I. Randall saying I. And Seth saying I. It's when you get scoped by a rifle.

The correct answer is I. Oh, good. You know why I wrote shin? I thought it was like a tramp stamp, but for guys. And I thought maybe you're dorky if you get a tattoo on your shin. Here's what we got. The phrase dork stamp refers to when a rifle's recoil causes the scope to hit a person's eye or nose. Other phrases that describe this injury include scope eye, scope bite, or eye ring.

A Wyoming sheriff said in a 2022 article on TheMeadEater.com that a prominent dork stamp on an elk hunter accused of assault helped them identify and arrest the subject. So it's like a widely used term is what you're trying to say? Yeah, so I Googled it to make sure. I found it on forums. I found it in articles. We had this sheriff who was quoted on themedia.com saying, dork stamp is what helped them catch this criminal. Can we just start? Wouldn't it be great if we just started from scratch, man?

Well, now, why would I clarify that, Hayden? It would tell you what the answer is. Well, you're just asking us to guess a random thing that nobody's ever heard of. Well, this is the mind of an editor. He's going for common usage. He's looking at all this. He's looking at edge case. Thank you, Randall. Randall, did you get that one right? I did. Well done.

I didn't know. Of course he likes the question. I've had them. You've had them. Did you have a name for it at the time? Ow. Okay. That works too. Now you can call it a dork stamp. Question two. The topic is public land. This great question comes to us

via Alex Wise. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What introduced big game animal killed a hiker at Olympic National Park in 2010? What introduced big game animal killed a hiker at Olympic National Park in 2010? Quick answers from most of the room. You boys just know this one. Yep.

Okay. No question. You remember when it happened? Mm-hmm. Okay. Again. What introduced big game animal killed a hiker at Olympic National Park in 2010? I would have wrote that even different.

I know it, but I would have still wrote it different. Mike, do you have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying mountain goat. Mike, without an answer. The rest of the room saying mountain goat. They got it right. The correct answer was mountain goat.

Now, I think that's easier for you, Steve. What years were you in Seattle, maybe? That's not why I know it. Okay. The 63-year-old hiker was having lunch on a backcountry trail when he was gored to death by a rutting mountain goat. After attacking the man, the goat then stood guard over his body for 15 minutes, all while being pelted with rocks from fellow hikers. The animal was killed a few days later by park rangers who had been monitoring the goat for years

because of reports from hikers who said it would follow them and act territorial. I like that they say it stood guard over his body. Yeah, I know what he's going to do with him. Question three. The topic is fishing. What 116 pound state record was set in Arkansas by an angler who was using spam as bait? What 116 pound state record was set in Arkansas by an angler who was using spam as bait?

Is this one of those questions? If you think the answer is whitetail deer, you need to write whitetail deer. Deer would not be good enough. That's exactly the example I was going to use. What 116-pound state record was set in Arkansas by an angler who was using spam as bait. Oh, man. How do you feel about your odds on this one, Brody?

I got it down to 50-50. I can't decide what of my answers I'm going to eliminate to create the right answer. Okay. Seth, you ever fish with spam? No. Sticking with my first answer. Not opposed to it.

Okay. Does everybody have an answer? Bro, you show me your plate, dude. I didn't look. Sorry. Does everybody have an answer about the 116-pound state record that was sent by using spam? I got to decide.

Listen, do me the favor of reading the one I have scratched. You can do that. So people know that I was close. Okay. Brody, how we doing? I got a lot of fans out there. Well, I was gonna go with my first answer and now I'm thinking about changing it. Are you gonna do the scribble trick as well? Do we need to acknowledge

your backup answer? No, I'm just leaving what I got. Okay. Stick with your gut. Randall? I'm gonna change it. Last second change. Last second change. Is everybody ready? Still looking on. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying alligator gar. Whoa.

And his answer that he scribbled that was blue cat. Mike saying catfish. Brody saying flathead catfish. Hayden saying flathead catfish. He saying flathead catfish he crossed out gar Randall saying alligator gar Seth saying blue catfish copy we have a correct answer in the room it's blue catfish that's why just a race who had it the 116 pound blue cat was caught by Charles Ashley Jr.

in the Mississippi River in 2001. He said Hormel Spam was his dad and granddad's favorite bait and that they'd been using it for decades to catch catfish. How's he getting it on the hook? You know, I've seen folks where they, like, freeze it, and then they'll, like, freeze the circle hook in it. I don't know if he was doing that or not. When we used to do

a bunch of catfishing, we would put bait that wouldn't stick together in a nylon stocking and then like cinch it down real tight and then just hook through the stocking. Like a spawn sack?

Yeah, that's a good idea. The blue cat is the state's third biggest record fish, finishing behind a 215-pound alligator gar and 118-pound paddlefish. Ooh, no one even thought of paddlefish. Well, no one even thought of paddlefish.

Well, I hope you wouldn't answer that. Because they're spam. They're spam. They're known for distaste for spam. Question four. The topic is anthropology. Ooh. The National Park Service defines this type of ancient art as, quote,

images painted onto rock surfaces. Again, the topic is anthropology the national park service defines this type of ancient art as quote images painted onto rock surfaces quick answers from the whole room mike this is this is you getting thrown a bone this is you getting thrown a bone that's right but getting thrown a bone. That's right. But I feel like when you throw the bone, the guest should have a higher probability of getting it than everyone else. So I'm going to address that in a future episode, too. We'll look at how the room does against our guest for that question. Does everybody have an answer?

That'd be great stuff. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying pictograph. Mike saying petroglyph. Brody saying pictograph. Hayden saying petroglyph. Randall saying pictograph. Seth saying pictograph.

One's when you carve it and one's when you draw it. The correct answer is pictograph. Ah! Pictograph. A petroglyph is carved. The National Park Service says, Pictographs are images that have been painted onto rock surfaces. Petroglyphs are images that have been carved into rock surfaces.

And hieroglyphs are images that represent words which have been carved, then sometimes painted, into rock surfaces. Because pictographs were made with archaic paint, they are much more prone to weathering than petroglyphs. Mike, what's your experience with pictographs and petroglyphs? I feel like New Mexico is just littered with those things, right? Yeah. But you left out one category.

What's that? Where they're etched into the rock and also painted. Ah, what would that be then? The hieroglyph? I don't know. See, this is real. The National Park Service, again, you had an issue with their dioramas. People's a lot of shit from the Park Service, man.

I don't take them verbatim for anything. This is a widely, this is a, yeah. Did you come across any pictographs or petroglyphs in Alaska, or did they just like not exist up there? They didn't do that there, did they? They, I'm not aware of any. Okay. Yeah. I mean, but totem poles almost serve the same purpose.

Oh, yeah. But New Mexico just had all sorts of them. Oh, yeah. And they probably last, they probably weather well there. Yeah. Because of the lack of moisture. I imagine. Question five. And they probably last. They probably weather well there because of the lack of moisture. I imagine. Question five. The topic is hunting.

This next great question comes to us via Matt Kilpatrick. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What auto brand sold Outdoorsman Edition pickups in 1985 that came with a Winchester rifle? Hmm. What auto brand sold Outdoorsman Edition pickups in 1985 that came with a Winchester rifle? A quick answer from Seth.

Seth, do you know this one? No. Again, the topic is hunting. No, I don't know it. The question is from Matt Kilpatrick. What auto brand sold Outdoorsman Edition pickups in 1985 that came with a Winchester rifle? Steve, what was your first vehicle that you drove? 1976 half-ton Chevy.

Made two years after I was born. Bought it for $600 at the corner of Ryerson and Riley Thompson. How did you come across that thing? It was parked at that corner. Angled. How long did that scoot you around for? Man, dude, I didn't have it long, and we were Baja'ing through Manistee National Forest,

and this kid named Brian Peterson was riding in the back and I went to try to hand a beer to him through the slide window and crashed into an oak tree and sold it to a local gearhead named Matt sold it to a local gearhead named Matt Jones for 100 bucks and this dude could fix anything and make anything and it wasn't like a week later he's driving around that truck looked like the day I bought it. Pissed me off to no end. Did Dad get the full story that you were handing a beer back to the dude in the tailgate? No, I can show you the tree I hit.

It's funny that Baja... If you take Ryerson out, cross Cedar Creek, and then take the first left, right there, not 300 yards down the road. I'll show you the oak tree. It's funny that Baja-ing seems like a universal term. Oh, yeah. The idea was Baja and in Baja.

Huh. Good on you. Does everybody have an answer for the auto brand? Of all places. Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Steve saying Dodge. We have Mike saying Ford. Brody saying Chevy. Hayden saying Ford.

Randall saying GMC. Seth saying Dodge. The correct answer is Chevy. We had somebody get it right. Was it Brody? Well done. Brody, did you know that one or was it just a guess? Not at all. Is it just anybody's

game right now, Phil? Well, we'll get a scoreboard update after this factoid. I thought it was Dodge because Dodge makes an Outdoorsman now. And they also make a Power Wagon, which was like... That Power Wagon back in the 80s? They don't give you a rifle with it, though. The Outdoorsman Edition Chevy with the hunting package came with a Silverado pickup, Winchester Model 94, rifle scope, gun rack, gun case, safety glasses, and more.

Both the truck and gun are now considered rare collectibles. I was able to find one of the pickups that sold in 2016 for $25,000 and one of the rifles that sold in 2020 for $1,300. Wow. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Sure thing. We've got Mike in last place with zero points. Steve and Hayden are rolling up next with two points apiece.

Oh, my God. Randall and Brody have three, and Seth is in first place with four points. Wow, Seth. Seth Morris. Now, when we sat down to play before the mics turned on, Seth said, now, Randall, you know I won last time, right? He's on a roll. He's feeling it.

He's on a heater. We'll see. Don't jinx me. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes. And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join.

The topic is conservation.

The acronym NIMBY, which is often used when discussing wind turbines and solar farms, means what? The acronym NIMBY, N-I-M-B-Y, which is often used when discussing wind turbines and solar farms, means what? Quick answers from Brody and Steve. They seem confident. And Randall. And Randall. Randall, you got this one right? Yes.

Okay. Seth without an answer. Hayden and Mike look like they don't know it. Again, the acronym NIMBY, which is often used when discussing wind turbines and solar farms, means what? N-I-M-B-Y. Brody, you knew this one? Immediately. Okay, you didn't even need any context clues.

Same with Steve. Just knew what NIMBY meant. You know Steve knows it when he's not talking. I don't want to slip up, man. How do you know when he doesn't know it? I can just tell. I just start talking. Okay.

I start trying to pry a little conversation. Get something started, you know? Get something fired up. Yep. Can you read that question one more time? The acronym NIMBY, which is often used when discussing wind turbines and solar farms, means what? N-I-M-B-Y.

Did that help you, Hayden? No. Okay. Alright, let's flip them over. Yeah, because that... You gonna come up with an answer, Seth? No. Okay. All right, let's flip them over. Yeah, because that... You going to come up with an answer, Seth? No. Okay. No. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

I've been saying that longer than there's been wind turbines and solar farms. We have Steve saying, not in my backyard. Oh, yeah, I want to go. Mike, without an answer. Brody, saying, not in my backyard. Hayden, without an answer. Randall, saying, not in my backyard. And Seth, without an answer.

They got it. The correct answer is not in my backyard, and Seth without an answer, they got it. The correct answer is not in my backyard. The acronym NIMBY first appeared in the 1970s when communities in New Hampshire and Michigan were considering building nuclear power stations. The phrase refers to a person who says their quality of life or property value will be affected by a large-scale project. Besides wind turbines and solar farms, NIMBYism is often associated with things like landfills, meat processing plants, airports, and low-income housing. Yeah, and it's usually associated, like when you say that,

it's usually that the person theoretically supports that sort of thing. Sure. It'd be like someone who's like, oh, renewable energy, of course. That's right. Of course. Well, how about a solar array in your neighborhood? Wow. It's not the ideal location.

Nimbism. Question seven. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Mackenzie Kepner for sending this great question. Mackenzie is going to get a book signed by Steve. Now, this is a visual question. If you want to see what the room is seeing, then go to Instagram and check out at Spencer Newharth. I'll make it my most recent post.

Here is a famous one minute clip of a dead sperm whale being eviscerated with dynamite. You need to tell me what state it happened in. Oh, I like this video. Screams of terror. Oh, my God. Here comes Jason's uh, Our cameras stopped rolling immediately

after the blast. The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere. Pieces of meat passed high over our heads while others were falling at our feet. The dunes were rapidly evacuated as spectators escaped both the falling debris

and the overwhelming smell. A parked car over a quarter of a mile from the blast site was the target of one large chunk. The passenger compartment literally smacked. Can I watch that very carefully? Again, you need to tell me where that dead sperm whale was eviscerated with dynamite. Had you folks seen that clip before?

Yeah. I just love that moment where everybody, like, kind of puts together the blubber chunks coming for him. I ought to have my mouth open, man. Steve, did you pick up

anything from that video that you think will help you? No, but if I watched it real careful, like the folks at home are going to do, I probably would have found it. You think you'd learn it? Okay.

I wanted to look for license plates. Yeah, I would have done the vegetative analysis. Stop the video at a certain point on purpose. Again, you need to tell me what state that took place in. And I would have looked at that little channel that was broadcast. That's what I would have given that. Good long thought.

I was waiting for the journalist to sign off. So-and-so, Channel 2 News. Cut it off. Cut it off. From Arizona. A particular spot. Yeah, put Arizona. Does everybody have an answer?

Seth? You're a lot on the line. You feeling the pressure? Does anyone flat out know it? No. Go ahead and reveal your answers. What does that say, Steve? It says California.

What the hell do you think it says? I thought it said North Carolina. It says California. We have Mike saying Washington. You guys got it right. Brody saying New Jersey. Hayden saying Massachusetts. Randall saying Oregon.

Seth saying Oregon. We have a correct answer in the room. It's organ. Randall and Seth got it right. That O started as a C, I'll be honest. That happened in Florence, Oregon on November 12, 1970. The 45-foot whale had been on the beach for three days before the Oregon State Highway Division decided to remove it with dynamite. They speculated that the half-ton of explosives would turn the whale into bite-sized pieces that seagulls would clean up.

Instead, it launched some chunks of whale as large as three feet wide into the sky, which damaged property and frightened onlookers when it returned to Earth. Ever since then, Oregon has buried any whales that wash ashore. Did you know that, Phil? Phil, you knew that? Yeah, yeah. I grew up outside Portland, so, you know, it's something that'd pop up in the news every once in a while. Have you ever visited the site?

They remind all of us. They, like, have signs at the beach, like, Explosive Whales Beach or whatever. No, no, they don't. I think there might have been one as a joke or something. Hey, everyone, they don't. I think there might have been one as a joke or something. Hey everyone, Phil here with a quick addition. While there are no plaques or signage

indicating where the whale exploded on the beach, you can visit the nearby Exploding Whale Memorial Park in Florence, Oregon. So check it out next time you drive through. Okay, back to trivia. Question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

I wish I wouldn't even come today. This word, this is a cooking question. This word with Swedish origins refers to a buffet of hot and cold meat, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and more. This word with Swedish origins refers to a buffet of hot and cold meats, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and more. Randall, did you know this one? I think so.

Randall knows it. The rest of the room is not very confident. Hayden might have it. Randall knows it. Rest of the room is not very confident. Hayden might have it. I'm very confident. This word with Swedish origins refers to a buffet of hot and cold meats, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and more. Brody, how you doing over there? Brody is stumped. Let's speed up the time here.

How'd you answer? How'd you answer, Mike? We don't want to help out Brody sitting next to you. He's on the chase. Brody might be the only person who doesn't have an answer created yet. Like, spelling. Just to reiterate. Oh, I shouldn't say that.

Never mind. This word with Swedish origins refers to a buffet of hot and cold meats, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and more. Now, Hayden, I can hear you. That means Brody can hear you. So if you're talking about. No, no. No, I can tune stuff out. Okay.

Brody tunes me out all the time. I got kids. Brody has a kid named Brody Or Hayden That he's always tuning out Just comes natural Brody are you going to come up with an answer Does everyone have an answer Mike is getting bored over here

I'll write down a wrong answer Go ahead and reveal your answer Do you mind reading what I have scratched out Go ahead and reveal your answer We have Steve he crossed out charcuterie and wrote, what does that say? Well, it must not be right. Garde mange. It's like salads and cold.

Mange is French. We have Mike. Oh, is it? I don't know. We have Mike. What's your answer, Mike? Saying smorgasbord. Brody is saying, what's that say, Brody?

Tapas. That's Spanish. Hayden is saying, what's that say? It says smorgasbord. It does? That does's that say? It says smorgasbord. It does? That does not. Randall saying smorgasbord. Seth saying charcuterie.

The correct answer is smorgasbord. We had a few folks get it right. A traditional smorgasbord was often served on a long table with food contributions from guests. Some Nordic countries presented smorgasbords in rounds that were accompanied by singing and beer. According to Scandi Kitchen, the perfect smorgasbord includes pickled herring, smoked salmon, liver pate, salami, meatballs, sausages, cheeses, breads, pickles, cake, chocolate, coffee, and wine. And all the times I've heard that word, I never even considered it was a real thing.

Absolutely a real thing. And Americans have kind of corrupted it to ending with a G instead of a D, but it's supposed to end with a D. Phil, we have two questions left. Can I ask Phil a quick question? Yeah, what do you got? When we turn the pod, this show, into a video show?

Yeah. In six weeks. That's when it's happening? Big asterisk on that six weeks. Well, we have that whatever technology they have on that show where you got to answer it with a question. Jeopardy. Where viewers will have a special board that must be plugged into something. And as you write, it becomes clear on the screen what you're writing. Yeah.

You should tell them about the budget. So as you write and erase and write and erase, viewers at home will see what's happening on your board. It'll take some tinkering and some budget adjustments, but we can probably figure it out. There's probably one person in this room with the power to create the budget for that sort of thing, Steve. That seems like a hefty budget. We got the cardboard. Yeah, I think so. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left.

Well, everyone's on the board now. Mike got on with his smorgasbord, but unfortunately, he's no longer in the game, and neither are Steve and Hayden. With three points apiece. I mean, I can totally understand Hayden. How does an emergency end? I can understand. But for me to not be in the... Come on now. This is unheard of. Hayden made himself

one of the game pieces out of a chew tin, hoping he'd eventually put it up there. Well, no, that's actually his. Corinne is him. Well, now we're going to have to wipe Hayden off for Randall, I think. Yeah. Sorry.

Shut up, Phil. And then, still in the game, is Brody Henderson with four points, Seth Morris with five, and Randall is in first place with six points. Oh, he blew past that. Randall. Okay, two questions left.

Question nine. The topic is fishing. This brand, whose name is the combination of two states, makes products like Altera Trolling Motors and Talon Shallow Water Anchors. This brand, whose name is the combination of two states, I didn't realize that. Seth wrote very cock-o. Makes products like Altera Trolling Motors and Talon Shallow Water Anchors. I've never been so sure of something in my life.

Randall, are you as sure as Seth is? I think I got it. Okay. Brody, you look like you have it. Oh, yeah. Hayden, you going to get this one right? Yeah, I'm playing for my average now. Steve?

Yeah, I got that. That's even rocking cockily. You notice that? Like a cock. No, I always rock. I got like restless leg syndrome. Seems like the room is gonna do well. Again, the question is this brand whose name is a combination of two states

makes products like Altera Trolling Motors and Talon Shallow Water Anchors. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Minn Kota. Mike without an answer. The rest of the room saying Minn Kota. They got it. The correct answer is Minn Kota.

Minn Kota was founded by O.G. Schmidt in 1934. He invented the world's first gear-driven electric trolling motor in Fargo, North Dakota. Because the city was on the border of Minnesota and North Dakota, he decided to call the brand Minn Kota. We have one question left. Where does that leave us now, Phil? That leaves us with Seth having six points and Randall having seven. Okay, we need Randall to get this one wrong. Seth to get it right.

To go to overtime and hear the news. Only if we want to go to overtime. I don't think anything needs to happen. Can I quick write this question? I'm interested in the overtime sounder. What is Seth's mother's birthday? Question 10. The topic is woodsmanship. This next great question comes to us via Josh Ringsmooth.

If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Giant water bugs are more commonly known by this intimidating nickname. Giant water bugs are more commonly known by this intimidating nickname. I don't think I've ever seen a more baffled room. Neither Seth nor Randall have an answer. Again, the topic is woodsmanship.

Giant water bugs are more commonly known by this intimidating nickname. The skitter bug? Nobody. Don't write anything. Nobody has created an answer yet. Randall wants Seth to not answer the question out of protesting it.

Again, giant water bugs are more commonly known by this intimidating nickname. I know what you're talking about. You think you got this one right? I know what you're talking about. Okay. Randall, is there any chance you come up with the right answer? No. Seth is one of the only people who has created an answer.

Seth, how do you feel about your answer? I don't feel good, but it's an answer. Looking for the intimidating nickname for giant water bugs. Randall, you're just giving up. You're not going to come up with an answer? I wrote something down, but I'm very confident that it's not the correct answer. Does everybody have an answer? Hayden?

Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying, water devils. Mike without an answer. Brody saying, water scorpion. Hayden saying, water striders. Randall saying, man of war. Seth saying, hellgermite.

Nobody got it right. The correct answer is toe biter. Oh, I knew that. saying man of war. Seth saying Helgermite. Nobody got it right. The correct answer is toe-biter. Oh, I knew that. I didn't know that, but yeah, I remember that now. That's what a toe-biter is. So that was kind of a downer way for Randall to win. It was a bummer. I'll take it.

Other nicknames for giant water bugs include alligator ticks and alligator fleas. They are large aquatic insects that primarily use their two pincers to capture and hold prey. However, as their nickname implies, they will attack humans who step too close to them. Coyote Peterson voluntarily got stung by one on his YouTube channel and described the pain as though his toe got stung by a wasp and then had a brick dropped on it. Nah, because I got, remember I got bit by, was any of you guys there and I got bit by that one?

A water, or a toe biter? Oh, that hurt. We're thinking about the same thing here. They're like this big, enormous pincers. I got bit by one in Kentucky. Really? Mm-hmm. And how'd that feel?

Hurt. Real bad? Scared the dickens out of me. And what would you compare it to? Wasn't as bad as a bullet ant. Okay. Not much is. No.

I think alligator tick is a more intimidating name. It's a toe biter. I think it's a less used one, though. I think the toe biter is more common. Randall is our winner. Randall, you got, what, seven correct answers? I don't know. Did I?

Yes, you did, Randall. Well done, Randall. Hit the Shelby Index. Dripping with enthusiasm. Isn't it weird that it's so much more fun when I win? To me, I don't know why. Is it just't it weird that it's so much more fun when I win? I'm so... To me, I don't know why. Is it just me? Or does it seem so much more fun?

I'm kind of feeling that, too, Steve. I'm just so angry that I erased Blue Catfish for Alligator Gar with five seconds left to read that. It's been a runaway victory, then. Randall, what happens next is you get to choose where the $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. So what's it going to be? I would like this money to go to the Little Miami Conservancy, which is an organization that does habitat restoration and advocacy for the Little Miami River. It's a wild and scenic river outside of Cincinnati, Ohio,

and it's where I learned to fish. Yeah, I received that suggestion from a friend. It's a good organization doing good work, and so that's where I'd like it to go. Great donation. I think usually every time you've won, you've gone TRCP. I have. But now you're going the Little Miami.

What is it? Little Miami what? The Little Miami Conservancy. Hell of a game, Randall. Well done, Randall. Nothing pretty about it? You scratch it off? You won?

There's no arguing it? Just a regular win. Mike, thank you for joining us We're going to have to talk to the National Park Service About their definitions of petroglyphs And pictographs Firewolves We'll get in contact with them Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia
