I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Stephen Ranella, Brody Henderson, Ryan Callahan, Randall Williams, Hayden Samick, Bill Vander Hayden, and Derek Wolfe. And this is a very special welcome to our YouTube audience.

This is officially the first episode of Meat Eater Trivia that you can watch. Now, Derek, this is your first time on the show. How do you feel about your chances at Meat Eater Trivia? I mean, like I said before,

I'm not going to go into something thinking I'm not going to win. Everybody here is in trouble. You're confident. Very confident. Good. You're going to throw him a bone.

I might go down in flames, but if I'm going to go down, it's going to be big time. You're going to throw him a bone. Steve, tell us about this lacrosse helmet on your head. Is that what it is? No. Oh, it's going to be big time. I'm going to throw him a bone. Steve, tell us about this lacrosse helmet on your head. Is that what it is? No. Oh, that's just kidding.

Lacrosse football. Someone gave this to me. Who gave it to you? I think my buddy Brad Wolf gave it to me. Don't ask me that. Okay. Derek, what kind of helmet is that? Is this like a revolution? What style would that be?

Those revolutions are done. That's old. It's over. They don't even make those anymore. This is like, I don't even know what they call them anymore. It's a shut. Okay. What position do you think Steve would play? Oh, punter.

Is that good? Yeah. Played for a long time. That's right. You don't get messed up. You don't get hit. It's a penalty to even touch you. It's perfect.

Now, if you're not familiar, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from MeatEater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. MeatEater 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 Bill's performance from the last time he was on the show. Bill was here for episode 365, which Steve won with eight correct answers. In that round of trivia, Bill got sixth place with two correct answers, but he missed the bone that I threw him about the third most popular broadhead size. Bill, does that question still haunt you? A little bit. Yeah, it was the 85 grain is still the more popular over 150.

Yeah. So I thought that had kind of gone away. Was that because of crossbows or no? I think youth and women, 85 is more popular. You should point out Bill's outfit, you know. Bill works, he co-founder, right, of Iron Will Broadheads. You can hear him talk about some of the physics of broadheads on our last episode

that came out on Monday. Did that, uh, did that tidbit about 85 grain being the third most popular? That didn't change anything for iron will, right? You're not now selling 85, are you? No, we still don't make 85. I think a hundred is very close. Um, you know, practically 15 and right. So no, we still make 100, 125 on up to like 250. No 85s though yet. No 85s. Now here's our zero percenter question of the week, which tests how much knowledge players have retained from previous games. This question was from episode 287.

The topic was gear and nobody got it right. If you know the answer, you can just shout it out. What do you call the notches in the back of a knife blade? Jimping. Jimping. Jimping. Bill, now, how did you know that, that the answer was jimping? Um, I designed knives also. We sold knives. I've noticed one of your knives has two different sets of jimping. One that's like close to the handle and one that's in the middle of the blade. What was the decision making there? Yeah. One is for the thumb. If you're holding it like, and I normally would, but some people also like to put their finger up along the back of the spine, all the way towards the tip for guiding, you know,

fine cuts. So that's the reason for the second set of jimping out near the tip. When you look at a knife that like, say a big Rambo blade that a gas station is selling and you see the jimping in there, can you tell when someone is like, yeah, they had no idea what they were doing when they put the jimping in there. Can you tell when someone is like, yeah, they had no idea what they were doing when they put the jimping in there? Yeah. Sometimes it's just kind of to look cool and it's randomly placed, but yeah, I think you want to put it where there's, it helps your grip. Yeah. It has a real purpose, but most folks don't realize that.

There's some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, we learned that Republicans are far more likely than democrats to order a medium rare steak while i got challenged on that real bad the other day what did you get challenged about that little factoid about how how they ordered their steak well he was like it was in the podcast yeah he was incredulous it was a stat now i here we go uh democrats are far more likely than republicans to order a well-done steak. Steve followed this up by wondering aloud which political party is more likely to believe in ghosts. Well, I found that answer in a 2019 YouGov survey of 1,300 Americans.

Before I reveal the results, Steve, do you have any more predictions? Yes. Lefties are way more likely to believe in ghosts. Okay. What does the rest of the room think? Other folks have thoughts on this? Of course. In America?

Of course. In America. I don't think so. This was a survey in 2019 of 1,300 Americans. Come on. Here are the results from that survey. 8% of Democrats believe in vampires compared to 14% of Republicans. So 8% Democrats. Hillary Clinton.

14% Republicans. 37% of Democrats said they believe in demons compared to 54% of Republicans. And for the answer to Steve's question, 41% of Democrats said they believe in ghosts

compared to 46% of Democrats said they believe in ghosts Compared to 46% of Republicans Geez Pretty tight right? See now I'm getting worried about my other thing I always tell people Which is that lefties are way more likely to have gluten intolerance than righties We can look that up for you too Some future housekeeping episode We know from the podcast, your podcast

That the most ordered steak in America is medium rare. That's right. So when we say Democrats are far more likely to get a well done steak, what is the percentage? It must be that that's who's buying them. I don't remember now. It was like 30% versus 21% of Democrats. 30% of them would order a steak. Well done.

21%, I think, were Republicans. I'd have to revisit that. Dude, this should be a whole game show. But then, when we have a presidential election, it's always like 50% to 51%. Yeah, but that's a mandate. Well, no, that'd be 101%. That tracks. That'd be like the election

according to Trump, right? 101 mystery votes, but yeah. A mandate is a clean percent. You know? It's a big win now. It's really fun to see you having this conversation. But I want to know exactly how many people are ordering Well Done Steak. Killing it twice, as we like to say.

That's right. So this study showed that Republicans are 9% more likely than Democrats to believe in the supernatural and paranormal. Here are a few other takeaways from that YouGov study. That's surprising because I don't meet many. Here are a few other takeaways from that study. 45% of Americans believe ghosts can come back to specific places on Earth to haunt people. 36% of Americans said they've personally felt the presence of a spirit or ghost. And 13% of Americans said they've directly communicated with the ghost of someone who has died.

That's cool. Anybody in this room talk to a ghost? Brody, you raising your hand? No. No, but I talked to my FedEx lady about the ghosts in her house. Oh, how does that go? She has a haunted house. She asked me if my house was haunted.

Oh, really? What do you think her political leanings are? I don't think she pays attention much to those matters how much you should have done independence oh man you can't if you're a fedex driver dude you can't be pulling out the people's houses giving them like your political spiel yeah no she just wanted to know about ghosts if i had any ghosts and i said no we don't have ghosts yeah it was you're gonna wind up getting her in trouble so Livingston is a railroad town, right? So lots of bars, lots of brothels back in the day. And I've had many conversations with folks. There's a janitor in the Murray Hotel who

does casual exorcisms. Okay. Casual. Yeah. What's the difference between a formal one? He's just like the local guy to call. Okay. Just more of a hobbyist. You don't want to get too official and go down to the Catholic church, so you get the janitor from the Murray Hotel. He's kind of like, hey, do you mind leaving? He told me those gals just don't want to leave.

Okay. Wow. Livingston. That's why they were asking you, Randall. This was actually my old FedEx lady in Missoula. He's trying now to save the person's job, right? No, incidentally, she claimed that her neighbor's house used to be a brothel and that this was just sort of spillover haunting from

those spirits. Oh, they didn't respect the property lines. Not enough room at the end. What was your relationship with your FedEx driver that you guys were just... I feel like this takes precedence here. What was your relationship with your FedEx driver? We're going to do the point trivia. I feel like this takes precedence here. How did this even come up?

She literally asked me if I had ghosts in my house. She said, boy, that looks like an old house. Do you have ghosts in it? And you said? I said, to the best of my knowledge, no. Okay. We can move on. The Shelby Index for today's round is a four,

so our winner should get eight 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!

That free up your brain a little, Steve? I gotta hear it like it's God coming. Like it through my headphones, you know? Yeah. Question one. The topic is conservation, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these national parks does not have white-tailed deer? Everglades, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, or Badlands?

Which of these national parks does not have white-tailed deer? Everglades, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, or Badlands? If you're watching on YouTube, you get to see the question in front of you. Again, the four choices, Everglades, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, Badlands. Steve, are you confident in your answer?

Yeah, pretty much. Okay. Not totally, but pretty much. What you got, what you got brody nothing yet dude when you're on book tour you wouldn't believe how many people uh have suck it brody memorabilia paraphernalia yeah they make it themselves shirts stickers all sorts of cool stuff did you sign a lot of things suck it brody steve brunellahmm. I saw we even had a suck it Steve signed by Brody Henderson. Mm-hmm. That's a new thing. Does everybody have an answer for which national park does not have white-tailed deer?

Everglades, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, Badlands. Brody, I think we're waiting on you. You are. I'm giving it a minute. You're going to give us an opportunity for Randall to tell more ghost stories. I'm going to change my answer. Okay. This is what I'm doing.

Is everybody ready? There used to be a game show called Dead or Alive. Not familiar. You just name a person. You've got to tell if they're dead or alive. So I think a habit, and whether it's a right-wing or left-wing habit, would be a great game show. Okay.

That's good. The horseshoe is what we'll call it. Is everybody ready? Yep. Brody, what are we doing over there? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying Mount Rainier. Wolf saying Mount Rainier.

Cal saying Mount Rainier. Brody, what's that say, Brody? No, Brody wrote something goofy. Grand Teton. Grand Teton. You can't have two. I scratched it out. Oh, he's the only one who got it wrong.

Randall and Hayden and Steve Allsang, Mount Rainier. The correct answer is Mount Rainier. Brody got it wrong. White tails are considered very common in the Everglades, common in the Badlands, rare in the Grand Tetons, and non-existent in Mount Rainier. The closest white tails to Mount Rainier are those that live. Steve got one question right, and he's already talking shit.

That's not what I'm happy about. I'm not happy that I got it right. I'm happy that you got it wrong. It's important detail. You want to know my management plan? What do you got? If you draw a mule deer tag in Grand Teton National Park, you automatically get a whitetail tag either sex.

Keep those little rats from expanding. What are the draw odds for getting a mule deer in the Grand Teton National Park? If they're over the counter, you get a bonus tag, too. That's good. That's fine. Now, the closest whitetails to Mount Rainier are those that live about 30 miles east near Yakima and some Colombian whitetails that live about 70 miles southwest near the Oregon border. Question two.

The topic is haunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Wentz Elbin. For sending this great question, Wentz is going to get a book signed by Steve. Name one of the three states with the most bow hunters in 2021. Name one of the three states with the most bow hunters in 2021. This is my bone for Bill from Iron Will. Bill, I assume you're familiar with where a lot of your sales get shipped to. You think that's going to help

you with this question? Definitely going to help me with this one. Again, looking for one of the three states with the most bow hunters in 2021. Got an answer over there? Room is quick to answer. Randall stillandall still thinking cal still thinking derrick how do you feel about your answer uh top three though that's the problem one one of the top three just name one i think i'm i think i'm all right okay you don't mind doing that little deal

where you read we can we can read out what you crossed out. How many did you cross out, Steve? Well, I haven't written the one I'm going to cross out yet. You're not even going to do that. Okay. Good guy. Not even going to do it. Cal, how are we doing over there?

A lot of you are racing. You know why I do that. Canada isn't one of the states, Cal. I'm ready. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying Pennsylvania. Wolf saying Pennsylvania. Cal saying Alabama.

Brody saying Texas. Randall saying Texas. Hayden saying Kansas. Steve saying Pennsylvania. Can I tell you who's not right? Who's not right? Hayden and Cal. The top three states are

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The room did very well. Alabama, Texas, Kansas were not one of the three. Brutal start. This is according to a report published by the Archery Trade Association, Pennsylvania is first in the country at 331,000, followed by Wisconsin at 307,000 and Michigan at 304,000. Those three states combined for over 25% of the entire nation's bow hunting population. Just missing the top three were New York, Missouri, and Illinois. Bill, does that follow the trend you'd expect, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan? It does, but I also read that report, so I couldn't answer it.

That's why that bone was for you. He didn't need to go into his order backlog. I felt like season length would have a lot to do with it. I was just going by what state is usually in there for having open-eared hunters in general. I'll tell you what it has to do with it. I was just going by what state is usually in there for having open-eared hunters in general. I'll tell you what it has to do with. There's crossbows.

Archery license sales. Like crossbows are illegal. So why didn't you put one of those answers in? No, I'm just like, that's my real... Yeah, that's great. At this point,

after having the wrong answer, he comes in and tells you how obvious the right answer was. Do you think my reasoning's solid? Well, Texas has. Well, you didn't apply it, so. I think if you just went with total number of hunters, Texas would be way up there. Right.

Well, they do. Texas dukes it out with Pennsylvania and Michigan. Are they clearly in the winner now? I think Texas has the most. Most license. I think so. Question three. The topic is cooking.

According to Mississippi State University, bell peppers that are this color are the sweetest. According to Mississippi State University, bell peppers that are this color are the sweetest. Steve with a quick answer. I don't know. No answer. Brody with a quick answer. I'm doodling. Okay.

Brody, do you have this one right, you think? It's going to get you on the board. Yeah. Cal also with a quick answer. Brody, do you have this one right, you think? It's going to get you on the board. Yeah. Cal also with a quick answer. Cal, you know the answer? No. Okay, again, looking for the color of bell pepper that is sweetest. I mean, in Montana, most stores can only get green bell peppers, so.

He can't help himself. I don't have trouble finding the other have trouble he has to start talking about you're the only person who hasn't written down an answer i just i wrote my answer down but i'm waiting to change it based on what he says is everybody ready uh for according to mississippi University, bell peppers that are this color are the sweetest. Yeah, like mid-question. Here's one way to look at it. Go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Bill saying yellow. Wolf saying yellow. Cal saying red. Brody saying red. Randall saying orange. Hayden saying yellow. Steve saying yellow. The correct answer

is red. Do we have one or two people get it? A few folks. I don't believe that. I disagree. Bell peppers become more sweet as they become... He thinks you misread the study. Bell peppers become more sweet as they become more ripe.

That means that green bell peppers, which are the least ripe, are also the least sweet. After green, they turn yellow, and then orange, and then red. For this same reason, green bell peppers are also the cheapest because they can be grown the fastest.

That was a good little tidbit. Are you seriously telling me they're all the same pepper? They're all the same pepper. It's just a matter of likeness. That's why red is the more expensive and then orange and then yellow and then green. I was starting to wonder if orange was actually a color if I just made that up. Yeah, I mean, in your garden

they change colors. How come when I buy like a green pepper and I don't take good care of it, it doesn't turn into a more expensive Well, it's not on the plant anymore. Imagine that makes a difference. Steve Brody. You know what I think?

Bananas ripen. That's what I was thinking. Run out and go pick a little green apple right now and put it on your counter and watch it get real big and red. Well, the bananas turn from green to yellow and then brown. That's good. Steve Brody, what color do your bell peppers get harvested in the garden? Red or green? I do them green.

Yeah. Only because I'm just antsy. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's like I don't want to let something happen to them. Yeah, the longer you leave them out there, more things can go wrong. Yeah, then they got a rotten spot. Something ate a hole through it. Like when it's good to go, I'm going to grab it.

Question four. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Adam B. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Dolphin Fish and Dorado are nicknames for this saltwater fish. Dolphin Fish and Dorado are nicknames for this saltwater fish. The room is very confident.

Do you mind, can we step outside and talk about something? What do you got? Is it about this question? Yes. Okay. Dolphinfish and Dorado are nicknames for this saltwater fish. I just want to make sure I got the right thing down. Very thorough of you.

A confident room, at least based on how quickly they came up with their answers. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying Mahi Mahi. Wolf saying Mahi Mahi Mahi. Every single person said Mahi. They all got it right.

The correct answer is Mahi Mahi. Well done. It's impressive for us to be so damn far. I got a question about your question. Is Mahi Mahi not also a nickname? I always wondered what saying it twice does for you. Maybe they were just so nice. I think the question would still work.

Say if I said like Mahi Mahi and Dorado are nicknames for this saltwater fish, then you'd say dolphin fish, right? Yeah, it's just weirdly. Now in the IGFA record books, they call them dolphin fish right so it's so she should have said mahi and dorado are nicknamed for and i would have definitely got that wrong the the problem i was running it seemed like mahi mahi was like where more official uh

literature leaned um so we went with that what do you got steve man when we were um a couple months ago we were in the bahamas and we were down to spearfish and on the way out to where we're gonna go these boys i was with cameron kurt connell and uh his mate man they would i mean a lot of people probably know this but i just didn't realize how precise it was they'll find a single frigate bird not like a bunch of birds crashing down on bait they'll find a single frigate bird what is a frigate bird big ass ocean yeah they got that they got that shape kind of like oh he's drawing it for us well hold on a minute not that i mean i thought that was a wise drawing they don't look

like they look like that okay i thought that was a widely known thing that those things follow billfish and stuff around. What you got for a score today, Brody? I'm just saying. Is that the end of your story now? I thought you'd know that. Listen. And they would, like, by the bird's demeanor, they'd know what that bird was doing. And they'd take that boat with the trolling tackle out and basically just try to cut that bird off and you'd be like come on and they'd cut that bird off and wham fish

go find another one cut them off wham fish there you go it's amazing man one bird finder yeah one bird they're like no he's following one i think how how you know he's not doing something different they're like i don't know he just is it's that obvious They're like, I don't know. He just is. It's that obvious. The name Mahi Mahi comes from the Hawaiian language and means very strong. Despite their nicknames, they aren't related to dolphins or golden dorados. The world record Mahi Mahi weighed 87 pounds, but the species often doesn't exceed 30. Question five. The topic is public land.

What federal agency has a blue goose on their signs? Again, this is question five. The topic is public land. What federal agency has a blue goose on their signs? Now, Brody, when you got the

red bell pepper question right, did you know it or were you just guessing i knew it okay are you trying to distract me no i'm trying to distract you you knew what that university had said i've read like cooking books and stuff like that to be clear like mississippi which is the sweetest again i think this is a widely known thing I've read like cooking books and stuff like that. To be clear, Mississippi State, which is the sweetest. Again, I think this is a widely known thing.

Yeah, so any, if you Google like sweetest bell pepper, everybody says red bell pepper, but I put in there the Mississippi State University. Well, that's what I'm saying. So when he said he knew it,

I gotta go back to it. I don't think that he knew. I don't think that he knew that it was Mississippi State's determination. I like how Steve's gone from trivia and just comes back and just starts harder.

It just goes harder than ever. It's been building up. He hasn't got to have this for a while. What federal agency has a blue goose on their signs? Hayden, you look confident. Do you have this one right? You're mistaken. Total befuddlement for confidence.

Randall, how about you? You know, I feel like I have a decent chance. Okay. How's the rest of the room doing? Brody's still thinking. I have no idea.

Brody, you could be out of the game if you don't get this right. You guys just talked me for five minutes while I was trying to answer the question. Okay, everyone,

nobody look at Brody until we reveal answers. Don't even acknowledge him. Just leave that guy alone. Do we need to separate you two? No time to think it out at all. Cal, do you have this one right? I know exactly where I've seen the signs.

And I know. I can tell you where on the road it is. I know. I do know. But I had to write my answer down real fast so I wasn't accused of cheating. What do you think

of Brody's answer that he's writing down over there? I'm trying not to look at anything. Okay. But yeah, I think I buffed it,

biffed it, whatever. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying BLM, Wolf saying Fish and Game, Cal saying U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Brody

saying Refuge System. Randall saying U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Hayden saying Army Corps of Engineers. Steve saying U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We have a correct answer in the room. It's the National Wildlife Refuge System. Suck it, Steve!

Damn, really? Brody got it right. Is that an agency? What is it? That is an agency. Yeah, but that's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Yeah, I thought that's all the Fish and Game, Fish and Wildlife Service. It's all the same thing. What federal agency

has a blue goose on their side? That's not a federal agency. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the agency, buddy. But wouldn't that be like saying the DOI is the federal agency? Because they're rolled up under them. Well, let's go all the way back and just say God. That is not an agency.

And DOI is not an agency. That was a great question, Spencer. No, not an agency. You better get another question out. It's not an agency. I don't think you would... Show me your board. It's not an agency. It's not an agency. You better get another question out. It's not an agency. I don't think you would... Show me your board. It's not an agency. It's not. It's not an agency.

Refuges are administered by the U.S. Space and Wildlife Service. That's the agency. If the answer was Army and he said military base, it's not the same. No, that's not the same at all. It would be like Army Rangers.

No, no, no. The system... Wagner Group. Point... Here's what Google says. The National Wildlife Refuge System is a system of protected areas of the United States managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Where are you finding signs with blue gooses on them? The question asked us to name an agency, and Brody did not name an agency. It's not an agency. I named an agency. The correct one. I will admit the question had a flaw. We're going to give it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service people as well as Brody. This is my biggest beef with the trivia.

I'm fine with it, but I don't think Brody should get anything. Who said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? You don't think I should get it right because I hit the nail on the head. Fish and Game is what that means. It's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Who raised your hand that said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? I your hand. It's not going to be good enough. If you do not raise your hand, you will not be getting a point.

Steve and Randall and Cal. And me. I feel like I should get a point for that. Listen, he did not name an agency. The blue goose has been used on refuge signs and exhibits since 1936. That's when Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ding Darling designed the symbol. He spent 18 months as the chief of the Bureau

of Biological Survey, which later became the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Brody King's giving me this like, there you have it. What designation? There you have it. What if my kids, like when one of them gets in mega trouble and the other one kind of looks at you like, I knew have it. I think of my kids, like, when one of them gets in mega trouble, and the other one kind of looks at you like, oh, I knew how long.

Brody, or excuse me, Phil, we are halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Yes, we've got Hayden in last place with two points. Gosh. It's a close game, though, between everyone. Coming up next, we've got Derek, Randall, Bill, and Brody, all with three points apiece.

And then in first place, all tied up are Cal and Steve with four points. Anybody's game. It's the cameras that are freaking me out. I do have to say, if you want a good refresher

as to why regulations are so darn complicated some places, go look through the Ding Darling political cartoons when he was trying to get the duck stamp in place.

It's entertaining. and highly educational. It still hit home 100 years later, right, Cal? Like back in the 1920s and 30s, it still rings true today. 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.

Name one of the three states with the most feral horses living on BLM land. Name one of the three states with the most feral horses living on BLM land.

Confident, Steve. Confident, Steve. Confident, Cal. Yeah, that was like the trivia equivalent of a mic drop. Okay, you got this one right. Steve did a board drop. Yeah, I think you could have narrowed it down a little more. You'd like top one or two is what you'd like? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll see how the room does. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying Montana. Wolf saying Wyoming. Cal saying Nevada. Brody saying Nevada. Randall saying Nevada.

Hayden saying South Dakota. Steve saying Nevada. The top three states are Nevada, Wyoming, and Oregon. The room did pretty well. Arizona's's not in there not in the top three how many states have wild horses feral horses feral horses i know 10 maybe something like that i'm not sure well no because feral horse then you open up a real can of worms you would call them something else well there's there's a difference. There's a management difference between a feral horse and a wild horse or burrow. This kind of goes back to how far you want to go back.

A feral horse would just be that if I had a horse get away and that horse was away, that would become a feral horse. But like three generations later, it's still a feral. Well, they're not protected under the Wild Horse and Burrow Protection Act. But what if you, as a Spanish conquistador, had a bunch of horses get away?

Those would become wild, those would be wild horses and burrows under protection of the 400 years later. Under protection of the Wild Horse and

Burrow Protection Act. But if my horse gets away, let's say I live in Hawaii, my horse gets away and it reaches, finds other horses that got away and thoseough Protection Act. But if my horse gets away, let's say I live in Hawaii, my horse gets away and it reaches, finds other horses that got away and those horses have offspring. And so you have wild born. Those aren't even wild horses.

Those would be feral horses because they're not protected by the Wild Horse and Borough Protection Act. Nevada has 45,000 feral horses living on BLM land. That's followed by Wyoming with 9,000 and Oregon with 5,000. Just missing the top three are California, Utah, and Colorado. These population estimates don't take into account the feral horses that are living on other forms of public land, private land, or reservations. Sorry, guys, really quick.

Can I get hands if you got that last one right? I was trying to fix something. You know what would be a cool way to do questions, man? What do you got? Pick a question that you know everybody's going to have, like the answer's going to be Nevada. And then

exclude the obvious one. Well, we've done that. But you can't do the obvious one. I'll give you an example. We've done like, what shark uh held responsible for the second most fatal attacks we've done a broadhead question that was uh the most popular weights are 100 gain 100 grain 125 grain and blank you're already using my idea we've we've done it before steve's idea question seven the topic is hunting when peyton manning broke this quarterback's record for career passing yards,

he sent Peyton a congratulatory video from his tree stand. This is a bone that I'm throwing to Derek Wolfe. When Peyton Manning broke this quarterback's record for career passing yards, he sent Peyton a congratulatory video from his tree stand. Derek, do you have this one right? I think so. Okay, you don't want to give any hints to our room. You could be one of the only ones who gets this one right.

Really? I'm not a quarterback. I don't care about all that. I like to kill quarterbacks. He eats their kids. Is everybody ready? No. When Peyton Manning broke this quarterback's record for career passing yards,

he sent Peyton a congratulatory video from his tree stand. Steve, how many quarterbacks do you think you could name if you had to? That was Jim McMahon. Okay. Everything related is from the 1980s. For Steve. I could name a good

pile of them. Quite a few, actually. If it's the obvious one, I'm going to be upset. I don't know what the obvious one is. Is everybody ready? Let's go. Turn your boards over. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying Favre. Wolf saying Brett Favre. Cal saying Tom Brady.

Brody saying Brett Favre. Randall saying Brett Favre. Hayden and Steve both saying Brett Favre. Is it quarterback, right? Dude. Now. He don't hang out in tree stands, I can tell you that. Yeah.

What? The correct answer is Brett Favre. Well, Brett Favre hangs out in peeler joints. Like, I know that. What is a peeler joint? Huh? What's a peeler joint? It's a place where ladies dance and take off their clothes.

Oh. I've never heard it called that before. That was good. That happened in week 10 of the 2015 season when the Chiefs beat the Broncos 29-13. Our guest Derek Ruhl started in that game and had two tackles. Phil, play the clip where

Favre congratulates Manning. Peyton, I'm in a tree stand. Yeah, you've interrupted me again. Anyway, man, I'm very happy for you. Congrats. But now you have to take them all away.

Good luck, man. You're the best. Derek, now what do you remember about that game in what I would assume is the low point in your Super Bowl season? Peyton Manning got booed off the field. Yeah, he had, what, 35 passing yards? He had a 0% quarterback rating. Which is damn near impossible to pull off.

Yeah. He threw like four or five picks in the first half, and they brought in Brock Osweiler. And then we went on and won four out of six with Brock and then went into the playoffs with Peyton. Was that like the low point in the season for you guys? It was rough because we were like, what's going to happen? Because Peyton was in bad shape.

His feet were messed up. He couldn't hardly throw a football. He couldn't feel his hand. It was like, it's just not good. So the Super Bowl seemed like a long ways away. Yeah, it seemed like a long shot, but our defense was still really good. So, you know, we have one of the best defenses of all time. And you were there to get to witness that record being broken.

Is that because did Favre and the other dude, were they playing football at the same time? At one point, yeah. Or just because he was in a tree stand? Favre was retired. I think the reason he has is because he's throwing him a bone. Well, I got that with the football topic. And then he was in a tree stand.

He was in a tree stand. He was hunting. Right. He was all over, like, tree stands don't make it on SportsCenter. I got a couple of gaps in my media coverage, I guess. Question eight. The topic is biology. This next great question comes to us via Jameson Teague.

If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. Name the order that includes ground-feeding birds like turkeys, quail, partridge, pheasant, and grouse. Again, the topic is biology. The room looks stumped. Name the order that includes ground-feeding birds like turkeys, quail, partridge, pheasant, and grouse. I don't understand the question. Well, there's...

The order? What is the order? What do you mean? Kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, species. Family genus, species. The Linnaean system? Like, that you are homo sapien? Oh, okay, yeah.

We're looking for Latin words. Name the order that includes ground-feeding birds like turkeys, quail, partridge, pheasant, and grouse. You got it, Brody? Yep. You have it, Steve? Do you have this one right? I think I got her. Okay.

Brody and Steve look confident. Feeling pretty good. Randall, are you going to get this one right? No. Hasn't picked up his whiteboard. No. How about you, Cal? No. I think I got gen up his whiteboard. No. How about you, Cal? No.

I think I got genus, not order. You're a big bird hunter, aren't you, Cal? I have family, not order. Maybe he shouldn't be giving all these hints, huh, Steve? Oh, yeah, he does. Does that help you out? Again, looking for the order

that includes ground-feeding birds like turkeys, quail, partridge, pheasant, and grouse. Yeah, I'm too deep into the system. I'm leaving my answer the way it is. I'm not going to change mine. Yeah, it's not going to change mine. Is everybody ready? Come on, Cal, you're a big bird hunter. He's taunting them.

He's taunting them. He's taunting him. This is question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil. He's trying to attack his self-identity. Cal, how we doing? I got my last batch of turkey stock on the stove right now. I got turkey thighs and wings in the sous vide. By which, bro, you meant to say,

hey, Cal, I thought you were a big bird hunter. But I'm not a big enough bird hunter to know. He doesn't like it quite enough. When you label your stock, you don't put the order name on there, huh? He doesn't really like it that much after all. Bill, how we doing?

Time to sell those shotguns. Hey, anybody need a good dog? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Bill saying grouse. Wolf saying dinosaur. Cal saying... Faisonaday. Faisonaday.

Brody saying... Galanaceous? Randall saying avia. Hayden saying grounday. Steve saying galiformes. Well, I meant like, you know what I mean. You don't have to spell it right. The correct answer is galiformes.

Steve. Brody, I got it wrong. Got it right. This does not count. Galination. You know, I'm going to have to look it up, Brody. Look it up? Listen, Brody, I just said I would look it up for you.

Let me read you the factoid. I always thought Brody liked to hunt. The galliform order is made up of about 300 species that are broken up into five families. Besides those game birds, some of the other galliforms are chickens, guineas, and peacocks. The birds in this order are known for their elaborate courtship, minimal migrations, and their ability to escape predators by running instead of flying. So would an ostrich be in there too? I like that tidbit because I like that little

minimal migration tidbit. Very little migration for them. What do you got, bro? Okay, here we go. Galliforms are an order of heavy-bodied ground-feeding birds, turkeys, chickens, gallinaceous birds, as they are called, are important in their ecosystems. And you wrote down gallinaceous? I'd give it to him. We're going to give it to you, Brody.

Well done. A deep cut there to get that right. Does it really say that, or is he just reading down there? I got it exactly right. He's like galiforms, otherwise known as galanaceous. He even spelled it right, he says. Phil, give that point to Brody, and we have two questions left. Where does the leaderboard stand?

I'll point out that Brody is now sitting on two asterisks. Are you kidding me? You're sitting on two big asterisks. Gallinaceous birds, as they are called. Listen, that is not an agency that you wrote earlier. Phil, hit us with a scoreboard update.

Hayden and Bill are out of the running for the victory. But we've got Randall, Derek, and Cal all with five points apiece. Brody has six. And in first place, it's Steven Rinella with seven points. I want to point out that I knew there was going to be this easy football question. And so at the beginning of the episode, I was asking Mr. Wolf. I said, what position do you play? What team

did you play for? What sport do you play? And I was trying. Okay? I mean, God. He thought the bone was going to be what team did you play on? He's going to be like, there are many animal related teams. Name one.

Popular one. It's good leg work, Cal. Question nine. Popular one. It's good legwork, Cal. Question nine. The topic is cooking. This is the only state that lists the blue crab as their official state crustacean. I mean, do I even play anymore? This is the only state that lists the blue crab as their official state crustacean. This is question nine, meaning we have one question left after this.

A very confident room. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, okay. Just not going to do a whole lot of good to sit thinking about it too long. You know what? The room does look confident. Is everybody ready? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Bill saying Maryland. Wolf saying Maryland. The entire room said Maryland. Crab cakes and football, baby. Did we all get it wrong? They all got it right. The correct answer was Maryland. Maryland is one of seven states that has an official state crustacean.

Some of the others are Utah and brine shrimp, Texas and Texas golf shrimp, and Alabama and brown shrimp. The blue crab has been Maryland's state crustacean since 1989. Question 10. Phil, where does the leaderboard stand? We now have just Steve and Brody left in the game. Steve and Brody. We would need. Tales of the past.

Rekindled the old rivalry. We would need Steve to get this wrong and Brody to get this right to go to overtime. The topic is fishing. This angler, who's famous for blonde hair and kissing fish, was inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in 1990. Brody and Steve both looking at each other. It appears as though they both know it. Here's the question again. This angler, who's famous for blonde hair and kissing fish,

was inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in 1990. Brody, do you have this one right? Yeah. Steve, do you have this one wrong? I'm not sure. Okay. Again, Steve needs to get it wrong. Brody needs to get it right to go to overtime.

I might not have it right. Okay. Because there's another. Are you just saying that to mess with Steve? When? 1990 is when this person was inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.

Derek, did you watch a lot of fishing growing up? Oh, I know who this is. Okay, you got this one right for sure. I'd like to be in that Hall of Fame, man. Someday, maybe. Any Hall of Fame. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have

Bill saying Babe Winkleman. Wolf saying Bill Dance. Cal saying Bill. Brody saying Roland Martin. Randall saying Jimmy Houston. Hayden saying Jimmy Houston. Steve sang Jay Houston. The correct answer is Jimmy Houston making Steve.

I won! You would have won anyway. I mean, either way, you would have won. Pulled away with two points at the end. Well done, Steve. How does it feel to be back, Steve? Oh, my God. Does it feel good?

Put your crown back on. How many points did he get? Didn't Bill Dance used to kiss his bass? But he didn't have the blonde mop on his head. Oh, I couldn't remember what his hair looked like. He would have been like sandy blonde, maybe. Yeah, I thought he was a little sandy blonde. Feels great.

Was that eight or nine points that you got there, Steve? It was nine. Nine points. Well done. Which one did you get wrong? Almost had the perfect game. Pepper won. Well done. Which one did you get wrong? I don't know. Almost had the perfect game. Pepper won.

Very close. Oh, Pepper won. Oh, no. Was it Pepper won? It's going to bother you, I assume, as a big gardener. Well done, Steve. Where is the $500 donation going to go? It's going to our own Meat Eater Land Access Initiative because Cal's got a lot of, he's

got a lot brewing around. Really? Yeah. Okay. Stuff he's checking out. Anything we can share, we just got to wait for now. Just empty out all your pockets right now. We might even have to start some kind of, we're trying to, yeah.

Might get the, try to get the auction house rocking. Okay. All hands on deck. Like a freaking GoFundMe. I don't know. So Cal is hot on the trail of a project. He's got a couple rocking. Okay. All hands on deck. Like a freaking GoFundMe. I don't know. So Cal is hot on the trail of a project. He's got a couple things. Yeah.

And this money is going towards that project. Well, it's going into the fund. Sure. Right. Well done, Steve. Which really then goes to everybody because it's a public access project. You know what?

It'll go to increasing and improving. How do you put it? More. More access to hunting and fishing. It's almost like this is the only game show where conservation always wins. Right? Sort of like that. I was just going to say that.

Bill, Derek, thank you for joining me. Derek, how did you feel about the show now that you got to play? How many points did you have? I don't know. You had six. Six? Well done, man. Four.

I think our guest line is usually around four or five, so you exceeded that. Bill, did you feel better this time around? Yeah, a little bit. Okay. Well done. Steve, victory for you. He hasn't played in a while. Came in, you could have been rusty or you could have been well rusted now in in derrick's line of work they talk about a bye week and being uh rusty or rested

steve came in rested and he won well i came in a little saucy to be honest with you okay because like you were out boozing no just like came in a little fired up man that's true when we were doing when i was on the book, a lot of people coming up, talking about you haven't won in so long, and like, Brody's this and that. Yeah, I felt bad for him. He's getting a lot of grief. Little kids coming up to me, game on, suckers. Didn't sit well.

Now here he is winning. I had to come back and get back in it. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
