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 Brody Henderson, Seth Morris, Randall Williams, Chester Floyd, Marge Smith, Corey Calkins, Logan Dove, and Colin Fopma.
Starting point is 00:01:17 This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. For the stat of the week this week, we're looking at listener performance. By tracking over 300 responses to polls on the MeatEater Reddit page, here's what I've learned about the audience's trivia prowess. Brody, do you have any predictions for what our audience averages for points per game
Starting point is 00:01:49 in trivia? Six. Six? Any other guesses in the room? Now these are folks who responded to... These are self-reported scores. Self-reported, that's right. They probably would have counted Swan. I like six.
Starting point is 00:02:04 I'll say five. Our listeners average 5.39 points per game. Those are good guesses, which is nearly identical to Ryan Callahan. About 7% of the audience reported that they've scored 9 or 10 points in one of the last five games. 7% is also how many listeners reported that they've scored 1 or 2 points in the last five games. 7% is also how many listeners reported that they've scored one or two points in the last five games. The largest grouping were listeners who said they scored five or six points in a game, which was 37% of the audience.
Starting point is 00:02:36 So we have a pretty smart audience. Yeah, I mean, you come here and get six, right? That's right. You're in it. I mean, the dumb ones aren't going to report, I don't think. Yeah, or, you know, maybe instead of a two, they got a four, like Randall said. Round it up. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Get a half point here, half point there. More elastic rules. More elastic rules. Well, if you're counting those swan answers. 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 388. The topic was conservation, and nobody got it right.
Starting point is 00:03:10 This invasive plant, which is a climbing perennial, has been nicknamed the vine that ate the south. What are your guesses? Anybody know this? Man, I was in this one and don't even remember. Still a tough question. We don't even have any guesses. I thought Giannis got it right. Nobody got it right.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Giannis said he knew it after he heard. Is it Kudzu? It's not Kudzu. That's right. That's what it said. Is it? The correct answer is Kudzu. The incorrect answers given were napweed, ivy, red vine, buckthorn, looping lupine, wild grape, and creeping
Starting point is 00:03:44 myrtle. Kudzu. Won't forget that again. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, we had a question about what white bird is featured on the federal duck stamp that expires in 2024. The correct answer was tundra
Starting point is 00:04:00 swan. This caused some drama because Randall answered swan. Drama, Randall. Which I didn drama because Randall answered Swan, which I didn't give him credit for. I don't remember this at all. I felt bad about how this unfolded, Randall, so I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. Here's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Phil is going to show you four pictures of swans, and everything you need to identify them is in each picture. If you can pick out which one is the Tundra Swan, then I'll give you a point, and you and Brody will be going to a tiebreaker to settle that game. But, if
Starting point is 00:04:32 you get it wrong, then nothing changes. This is very uncomfortable. And Brody remains the winner. Randall, do you agree to these terms? You feel okay about this? Sure, I'm identifying the swans on the screen using... You need to find the Tundra Swan. Find the Tundra Swan. I'm identifying the swans on the screen using... You need to find the tundra swan. Find the tundra swan. I'm lodging
Starting point is 00:04:48 my protest now. I'm not even going to check in with Brody. He can sit over here and be grumpy if he wants to, but this is how we're going to decide it. God, I wasn't expecting this. Phil, pull up the photo. You need to tell me, is it A, B, C, or D? Who is the tundra swan?
Starting point is 00:05:05 What are you seeing, Randall? Well, a swan's a swan. I think I made that clear last time. I... Torn between B and D. Does anybody think they know, looking at these four pictures? I think you're just trying to fool me. I think it's all of the above.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Oh, God. Or none of the above. Maybe. Who's the tundra swan? Spencer usually doesn't trick you, so. That's what I'm going to go with. I think I know. If you want to see what Randall is seeing, Phil has this up.
Starting point is 00:05:44 You can see it on our YouTube channel. Randall, what is your answer? A, B, C, or D? I'm going to go with A. A? Is incorrect. Shit. Do you have another guess?
Starting point is 00:05:58 What are you going to go with? My actual answer was going to be D, and then I talked myself out of it at the last minute because I thought that I was just... How about D? D is also incorrect. How about B? Here's the deal, Randall.
Starting point is 00:06:13 They are all trumpeter swans. None of them are a tundra swan. This was all a setup. You've humiliated me. You've humiliated me. And that is why, Randall, we are not going to give you a point for just writing down swans. Brutal. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Every one of those swans is a trumpeter swan. I was humiliated right there with you. I didn't even think we played those kinds of games around here. I'll have you know I had nothing to do with that. Why couldn't we have done this after the round of trivia? Now I'm all in my head. Now you're flustered. I'll help you out though, Randall. Trumpeters and tundras look almost identical. Some ways to tell them apart are that trumpeters get bigger than tundras. Tundras often
Starting point is 00:06:57 have yellow markings below the eye. Trumpeters often have lipstick markings on their bills. And the tundra's call is much more high-pitched than the deep voice of a trumpeter. So you're telling me it's very hard to distinguish trumpeter and tundra swans? I'm telling you, if you knew the difference, you would have known that none of those are a tundra swan. Fair enough, fair enough. Now the Shelby Index for today's round is a five, so I'm officially putting us on perfect score alert.
Starting point is 00:07:28 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! Now, had you trumped me, Randall,
Starting point is 00:07:54 and said none of those are a tundra, I would have been in a real pickle. I wouldn't have had an answer for that. I would have been like, okay, well, I guess that you and Brody are going to a tiebreaker. Well, you laid a perfect trap. It worked well. Question one.
Starting point is 00:08:05 The topic is conservation. This will be multiple choice. And this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Alex Sutherland for sending this great question. Alex is going to get a book signed by Steve. What is the only land mammal that's native to Hawaii? Is it a deer, a bat, a squirrel, or a monkey? Sorry, I forgot to put the multiple choices up there. What is the only land mammal that's native to Hawaii? Your four choices are deer, bat, squirrel, or monkey. A confidence, Seth. Seth, you've probably been in Hawaii the most recent out of anybody in this room.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Do you think you know it? You just have a guess. Oh, I just guessed, but I don't know if my guess makes sense. Again, the only land mammal native to Hawaii, deer, bat, squirrel, monkey. I honestly thought there was nothing native to that island or those islands. Is everybody ready? Marge, are you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have
Starting point is 00:09:12 Seth saying bat, Marge saying bat, and she drew a great bat. Chester and Randall and Corey and Colin all saying bat, Logan saying squirrel, Brody saying bat. The correct squirrel, Brody saying bat. The correct answer is bat.
Starting point is 00:09:29 The room did very well. Wait, land mammal? A bat is not a sky mammal. It's considered a land mammal. It's not a trick. Every land mammal in Hawaii has been introduced by humans except for the Hawaiian hordy bat. It's believed that the bat arrived in Hawaii about 10,000 years ago, migrating there from the mainland in North America. The species is considered endangered, with the greatest threats being habitat loss and decreased insect populations due to their use of
Starting point is 00:09:56 pesticides. I'm sorry to embarrass everyone, but can you raise your hand if you did not say bat? It's just more efficient. Logan did not say bat. Okay, I'm not going to cut to that game. Land mammal, throw me off. I wrote down bat, and then I was like, it's not a land mammal. Question two. The topic is fishing. What river has the most white sturgeon in North America?
Starting point is 00:10:22 Hmm. What river has the most white sturgeon in North America? A torn room, no quick answers, but now a few folks think they may have found it in their brain somewhere. Chester, do you have this one right? I believe so. Okay. Seth, you think you have this one right? No. Maybe, do you think you have this one right? No.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Maybe, but no. What river has the most white sturgeon in North America? Oh. North America. Whole continent. Did you put a South America river down? Mm-mm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:05 What river has the most white sturgeon in North America? Randall, do you have this one right? I don't have this one, period. Oh, okay. I'm still thinking. Don't think I'm going to get it right. I've got two in my head, and one of them's right. Back to the bats that migrated to Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:11:25 They said they made two different migrations, 10,000 years ago and then about 900 years ago. They showed up again all on their own. Why don't you give us a little extra info on white sturgeon? Not going to help you there. Chet, why don't you put the second answer you have down and then cross it out. Sure.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Little treat for the YouTube audience, Chester. You can see what else you were thinking. Is everybody ready? No. What river has the most white sturgeon in North America? This is a fish, not a bird. I don't want the white to throw you off. Appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Corey, do you have this one right? I know I have it wrong I don't know I don't think so This may be a zero percenter The confidence the room is giving me Brody writing something down Randall do you have an answer? Don't like it
Starting point is 00:12:20 Don't like it Spencer Don't think I'm in the right country Is everybody ready? Mmm, man. How big are white sturgeons? Not gonna help you out at all. Are those the big ones or the little ones? Wait, hold up.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Can I change my answer? You can, but we're running out of time. Randall's also changing. Do you have an official time? We don't have an official time? We don't have an official time. Sometimes I'll re-listen to an episode and be like, we had too much time there. Yeah, this is going to be one of those.
Starting point is 00:12:51 This might be one of those questions. Is everybody ready? Go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Columbia. Marge saying Mississippi. I erased Columbia. Chester saying Columbia. What did you cross out there, Chester? Randall saying Columbia. Corey saying Columbia. Colin saying Mississippi. I erased Columbia. Chester saying Columbia. What did you cross out there, Chester? Randall saying Columbia. Corey saying Columbia.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Colin saying Missouri. Logan saying Mississippi. Brody saying Mississippi. We have a correct answer in the room. It's the Columbia River. Damn it. I erased Columbia. It's estimated that the lower Columbia River alone has about
Starting point is 00:13:24 110,000 white sturgeon. That's more than double the population of second on the list, which would be the Fraser River with a population of 50,000. Although some legends say the fish can reach 2,000 pounds, the world record is just over 1,100 pounds. It was caught by former NHL goalie Kevin Estrada in 2012 on the Fraser River. Where's the Fraser? I can't.
Starting point is 00:13:48 There you go. I think that's what I was trying to think of for my second one. But I think the Skeena might be up there, too. You made the right choice. Yeah, they've caught bigger ones than that one. That one just got certified. Yeah, I think even in the IGFA record books, the world record is like 400 pounds. But it was obviously one that was kept a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Question three. The topic is biology. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this as, quote, very small people who live in Africa or a type of plant or animal that is smaller than usual size. Encyclopedia Britannica has two definitions for this word, defines it as very small people who live in Africa, or a type of plant or animal that is smaller than the usual size. Confident Seth and Randall. Randall, you have this one right. Yes, I'm thinking of
Starting point is 00:14:47 one such animal right now that I saw at a zoo in the past year or two. Wow, that's a hint. Really enjoyed it. Brody, do you have this one right? Spelling? Spelling does not matter. I'm leaning towards the confident side, yeah. Encyclopedia Britannica defines
Starting point is 00:15:04 this as very small people who live in Africa or a type of plant or animal that is smaller than the usual size. A Floyd? I don't get that one. A Chester Floyd. Okay, that's good. Small people. Is everybody ready?
Starting point is 00:15:22 No. Logan Confidence over here. He's throwing his hair around. You got this one right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I think I've seen that documentary. Oh, okay. More hints for the room, but it hasn't helped Colin or Corey. It's no different than saying the dictionary says this.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I'm giving you all the hints you need. Colin and Corey, I think we're waiting on you boys. I Feel like I have about two more minutes after the last question The room did pretty well there what what was the hang-up Brody on the last question was it? Not knowing what the white surgeon. There's so many damn different kinds of sturgeon I wasn't sure if those were the great big ones on the west coast or not All right. Is everybody ready?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Marge? Yeah, I just don't know. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth and Marge and Chester and Randall saying pygmy. Corey saying dwarf. Colin saying micro. Logan saying pygmy. Brody saying dwarf.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Dwarf. Dwarf. Dwarf. Dwarf. The correct answer is pygmy. And how do you spell it? P-Y-G-M-Y. Oh, Marge, you got it.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I did not spell it like that. Animals with a pygmy variety include cormorants, rabbits, elephants, hippos, lemurs, raccoons, owls, and more. The average height of an adult man from the African pygmies is 4 feet 11 inches. It's estimated that there are about 500,000 pygmy people who live in the Congo. Question four. The topic is cooking. Randall, what was the pygmy animal that you saw that delighted you? Had to be a hippo, right?
Starting point is 00:17:06 It was. It was a pygmy hippopotamus at the San Francisco Zoo. Very satisfying. Looked like you could take it home. Also known as a dwarf hippo. It was so funny. Question four. The topic is cooking.
Starting point is 00:17:18 This next great question comes to us via Avery Hartvigson. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. It's believed that the Space Needle Restaurant created this type of meal in 1962 when they combined beef with crab. And the topic is cooking. It's believed that the Space Needle restaurant created this type of meal in 1962
Starting point is 00:17:47 when they combined beef with crab. Man, I don't... First time it ever happened was in 1962. Giving out hints. We have a pretty confident room. Spencer, did you go up the
Starting point is 00:18:06 Space Needle when you were in Seattle recently? I did not. No. Walked by it. That's enough for me. I went up to the top of the Empire State Building in Chicago. That's New York City. Oh, I'm sorry. The Sears Tower. Or the John Hancock Building, which has since been renamed.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Willis Tower? The Willis Tower. Yeah, I hate it. Sears Tower was very disappointing. It was foggy that day, and I was like, I don't think I need to do that thing ever again. So I did not go to the top of the space. What were you doing in Seattle? Went to Taylor Swift. Oh! T-Swizzle. You guys had good seats
Starting point is 00:18:38 for that, too. It was very fun, Chester. You know what? I was going to tell you something about her. What do you got? She's tangled up with Animal Rights and PETA. You shouldn't go see her concerts anymore You know what I think if we followed those rules every time we wouldn't have phones wouldn't have computers They'd be able to drive on that ever show you the lecture that I have with Taylor Swift I haven't seen the picture, but I've heard you met her a couple of Pennsylvania folks. I'll have to show you cutting it up Does everybody have an answer? Maggie, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying surf and turf. Marge saying surf and turf. Chester saying escargot. Randall saying surf and turf. The rest of the room said surf and turf. They got it right. The correct
Starting point is 00:19:21 answer was surf and turf. I had escargot on a steak not too long ago. For our Australian listeners, it is reef and beef. Oh, I like that. Oh, yeah. It's believed that the first surf and turf pairing was a filet mignon and Alaskan king crab legs. The combo caught on in Australia not long after, which they referred to as reef and beef. Some restaurant
Starting point is 00:19:47 experiments with this term have led to things like the surf and turf burger, which is a beef burger that's topped with shrimp, lobster, or crab. But they don't call it a reef and beef at Outback Steakhouse, do they? Well, that's in America. Can you say it in that Australian accent?
Starting point is 00:20:03 That's an Australian restaurant. Sure. Is it though? Yeah. As much as Texas Roadhouse is a Texas restaurant. Back in my guiding days, we used to go to the Outback when they had those two-for-one drink specials. What did you get? Margaritas?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Cranberry vodka. One time I had a two-for-one drink special at an Outback, and they asked me if I wanted another one, and they brought out both of them while I was still on my second beer. I just thought, Australia seems very nice. They got it figured out. Question five, the topic is public lands. This national park in Virginia is the closest national park to Washington, D.C. Again, the topic is public lands.
Starting point is 00:20:48 This national park in Virginia is the closest national park to Washington, D.C.? Oh, boy. Spelling. Shit. Spelling does not matter. A confident Randall and Brody. Seth has an answer. I've been confident on a couple today. I didn't do any good.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Chester, are you going to get this one right? No. Oh, my God. I feel like an idiot. Randall, have you been to this place? Well, if it's what I'm thinking of, I probably have been there in the deep, dark recesses of my past that I don't remember as a young child. This national park in Virginia is the closest national park to Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Corey, without an answer. Corey, do you know any national parks in that side of the continent? No. Okay. I spend way more time in these national parks in that side of the continent? No. Okay. I spend way more time in these national parks on this end of the continent. Does everybody who's going to come up with an answer have an answer? Kyle and Logan, we count you out. Marge, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:22:00 Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Shenandoah. Marge saying Shenandoah. Marge saying Theodore Roosevelt. Chester saying Virginia Beach. Randall saying Shenandoah. Corey and Colin and Logan without an answer. Brody saying Shenandoah. He got it.
Starting point is 00:22:17 The correct answer is Shenandoah National Park. Shenandoah National Park is located about 70 miles straight west of the White House. Teddy Roosevelt supported making this area a national park in 1901, but it wasn't formally established as one until 1935. The park is best known for the Skyline Drive, which is a 105-mile road that follows the Blue Ridge Mountains for the entire length of the park. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Sure thing.
Starting point is 00:22:52 We've got Logan and Colin with two points apiece. Maggie, Corey, Chester, and Brody all have three points and tied up in first place, both with a perfect game, are Randall and Seth. Wow. Oh. Very fun. Yeah. Randall didn't want to sit by Seth when we came in the room. I'm glad that was a good choice.
Starting point is 00:23:11 That was a good choice. 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. Whew, our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of, you know, sucking high and titty there, OnX is now in Canada.

The topic is conservation. This medication, which Donald Trump said cured his COVID-19, can also be used to kill ticks that live on moose.
Starting point is 00:25:08 This medication, which Donald Trump said cured his COVID-19 can also be used to kill ticks that live on moose. Randall seems to think he has this one, right? Going to keep the perfect game going. Rest the room. Not quite as confident. Seth, do you have this one,, going to keep the perfect game going. Rest the room not quite as confident.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Seth, do you have this one right? Maybe. This medication, which Donald Trump said cured his COVID-19, can also be used to kill ticks that live on moose. Did anyone else say that it cured their COVID-19? We can talk about it
Starting point is 00:25:42 after, if you would like. Brody, do you have this one right? Um, pretty sure I do. I've heard it talked about on multiple different platforms, but I cannot think of. Remember the name? We have Randall who's
Starting point is 00:25:58 getting nervous. Yeah, I've got two in mind now. Okay. He specifically attributed this to one particular... He said the word cure. He did not use the word moose. No. I'm going to...
Starting point is 00:26:15 Is everybody ready? Randall? I just changed my answer. I might regret it. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying ivermectin. Marge saying chloroform.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Chester saying permethrin. Randall is saying, what does that say, Randall? It's hydroxychloroquine. Cordy saying bleach, bleach Colin without an answer. I don't feel good if you can't pronounce it. Don't feel good, Spencer. Logan saying, hydroxychloroquine. Brody saying,
Starting point is 00:26:53 ivermectin. The correct answer is ivermectin. Seth keeps the perfect game going. Ticks are the top cause of death for moose that are less than a year old in New England. Some estimates say that between 70 and 90 percent of the region's moose calves are killed by ticks each year. Biologists have considered using ivermectin to treat herds, but say it's
Starting point is 00:27:18 almost impossible to get moose to eat the right dose on a frequent enough basis to have any kind of an impact. Randall, did you have ivermectin? I had it, then I erased it, and I wrote hydroxychloroquine, and then I wrote ivermectin at the bottom and crossed it out to suggest that I had, in fact, been... Randall, did you take ivermectin? You were right there. I did not. I did not, but I need something because now I feel absolutely sick to my stomach.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You asked, Seth, if other folks have used it. I saw it's been used quite a bit, but I don't think whether it's the FTC or the CDC, they haven't approved it for widespread use yet. So I don't know how popular it is anymore. Question seven, the topic is navigation. This next great question comes to us via Steven Rinella. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. The official prime meridian, which separates the hemispheres and establishes time zones, is located in this country. Randall and Chester each have answers.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Chester, do you have this one right? Probably not. Randall, how about you? Yes. And you know how about you? Yes. And you know it or you're guessing? Well, I think this question is worded. I have some questions about the question. And you'll have to take it up with Steve
Starting point is 00:28:54 because he wanted to be involved in the wording of the question and this is what he agreed on. Hmm. The official prime meridian which separates the hemispheres and establishes time zones is located in this country. Brody, do you have this one right? I haven't even written anything down yet.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Okay. Either is Seth, who has the perfect game going through six questions. Well, I'm screwed now, Spencer. Well, you can still just write down a country. Keep you in the game. Psh. Well, you could still just write down a country. Keep you in the game. I still feel physically upset. Topic was navigation. Is everybody ready?
Starting point is 00:29:43 No. Perfect game on the line for Seth. Marge, you ready? Yep. Just think of big ones. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Patagonia. Marge saying Panama.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Chester saying Russia. Randall saying England. Corey saying Indonesia. Colin saying Australia. Logan saying Ecuador. We have a correct answer in the room. It's England. Randall got it right. Son of a... Steve texted me that this would be a great trivia question, to which I responded, I don't think anyone is going to get it right
Starting point is 00:30:25 and i think you and brody would complain about its connection to me deeter and then steve said it's latitude and longitude it's the basis of geography and navigation and gps i would have gotten it i guarantee randall and brody would get it i then told steve that i think it would be a zero percent i was gonna say ireland, but the whole dividing hemispheres thing is what threw me. Well, it's a specific point. It's a town, isn't it? The way that's worded...
Starting point is 00:30:52 Greenwich. Greenwich. Greenwich. The way that's worded makes it sound like half of England is in the Western Hemisphere and half of England is in... Well, it probably is then. Yeah. That's right. i would yeah again you can take it up with steve i i didn't love this question my other my other nation versus country
Starting point is 00:31:14 that was the forgot about east and west that was another question i had about the question but i'd like to move on i feel pretty pretty good about this. I'll bet he does. Thanks, everybody. Question eight. The topic is foraging. This is a visual question where Phil is going to show the room a picture. If you want to see what the room is seeing, then go watch this episode on MeatEater's YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Here's your prompt. You won't find this fruit in grocery stores because of its incredibly short shelf life. This is a visual question. The topic is foraging. You won't find this fruit in grocery stores because of its incredibly short shelf life. A very confident room. Almost everyone except for Colin.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Oh, I'm not confident. Brody not confident. I'm having a rough one. Seth, you have this one right. I think so. I think... I won't say that. Corey, do you have this one right? No.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Does that look familiar at all? Unfortunately not. Here's how specific you need to be for your answer. If you thought the answer was tundra swan, you can just say swan. Hmm. What? He's setting himself up for an argument
Starting point is 00:32:34 now. I'm not quite sure how I'd have variations on my answer, although it happens to be a wild ass guess, so it doesn't really... Again, you can see this photo on MeatEater's YouTube channel. The prompt is you won't find this fruit in grocery stores because of its incredibly short shelf life. Is everybody ready?
Starting point is 00:32:55 Mm-hmm. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying mulberry. Marge saying huckleberry berry. Chester saying elderberry. Marge sang Huckleberry Berry. Chester sang Elderberry. Randall sang Chokecherry. Corey sang Salmonberry. Colin sang Berry.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Logan sang Mulberry. Brody sang Elderberry. I want to change my answer to Berry. We have a correct answer in the room. It's a Mulberry. Few folks got it right. Now, getting specific, there are white mulberries, there are red mulberries. I think there are even black mulberries. Mulberries are native to North
Starting point is 00:33:32 America and Asia. Their flavor is described as a cross between a blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry because they're difficult to harvest and can only be refrigerated for a few days they rarely show up in grocery stores if you want to learn how to cook with them then go to the meat eater.com and check out jenny wheatley's recipe for mulberry jam are those the ones carp like to eat when they fall in the water i think so i think anything likes to eat them we used to have one of these in our backyard and they make a mess yeah so we had a white carpet in our house at the time. And my mom would get so pissed because I would walk through the mulberries on the ground and then walk on that white carpet and it would stain it. A lot of cities have outlawed the planting of mulberries for a lot of reasons. They create a lot of pollen and they stain everything up.
Starting point is 00:34:18 People don't want them overhanging sidewalks. They also attract a lot of things like, you know, carp like them, birds like them, raccoons like them. That is the mulberry. Phil, we have two questions left. Where does the leaderboard stand? Colin, Maggie, Logan, Corey, Chester, and Brody have all been eliminated.
Starting point is 00:34:38 But we've got Randall with six points and Seth with seven. Wow. This is fun. Coming for you, Randall. Question nine. The topic is fishing. This next great question comes to us via Caleb McClain. If you have a question you think is right
Starting point is 00:34:54 for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. What is the only great lake that you can't fish with a Canadian license? Topic is fishing. What is the only great lake that you can't fish with a Canadian license? Confident Seth.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I wish I had me a map. That would help. Now that some of you folks who didn't get the last question right heard the answer of mulberry, did you then know it? Like, oh, I know what a mulberry is. No. Not you, Corey? No, doesn't seem like something we have in Montana.
Starting point is 00:35:36 The native red mulberry, it ends at about like southeastern South Dakota, but then it goes all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. So if there are mulberry trees around here, someone brought them here. I know people like to fish mulberry flies for carp. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Okay. I like that.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I know that all around some mulberry bushes, monkeys will chase a weasel. I almost wrote this question as referenced in Pop Goes the Weasel, this fruit or something like that. That would have been fabulous. I would have gotten it, no question. You would have known it? Oh, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Big on nursery runs. Again, what is the only great lake that you can't fish with a Canadian license? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Michigan. Marge saying Huron. Chester saying Erie.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Randall saying Michigan. Corey saying Erie. Colin saying Huron. Logan saying Superior. Brody saying Michigan. The correct answer is Lake Michigan. A few folks got it right. Lake Michigan is the only great lake that's not an international waterway.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Superior, Huron, Ontario, and Erie are all shared between the United States and Canada, though. The bed of Lake Michigan is owned by the four states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Phil, we have one question left. Tell us how Randall and Seth are doing. They're still separated by one point because they both got the Lake Michigan answer. We got Seth with eight and Randall with seven. I thought of an interesting fact
Starting point is 00:37:15 relating to the question a few ago about the Prime Meridian. That's Greenwich Mean Time. So when you look at time zones and everything is plus or minus GMT, that's why more people should have known that answer. When I was talking to Steve, he said, Randall will know what the Greenwich Mean Time is.
Starting point is 00:37:35 That's fantastic. Did you guys talk about this? I wrote a question that Randall would know. I thought you guys were in a meeting at some point. No, I can't think of the last. I mean, obviously the name didn't, it didn't come to mind until now, but I just have been turning over Greenwich in my head. Question 10.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Steve should be thinking of questions that everyone else will get right. I agree. I agree. Question 10. The topic is hunting. What bow brand has models like the Carbon Matrix, Carbon Spider, and Carbon Defiant? A confident Seth and Randall, which would mean this game is going to end with Seth as the winner. But we'll see what they have when we flip over the boards.
Starting point is 00:38:17 And the question is, what bow brand has models like the Carbon Matrix, Carbon Spider, and Carbon Defiant. A very confident room all around. Is everybody ready? I wrote down Bobrand. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Seth saying Hoyt. Marge without an answer. Chester saying Hoyt.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Randall saying Hoyt. Corey and Colin and Logan and Brody all saying Hoyt. Marge without an answer. Chester saying Hoyt. Randall saying Hoyt. Corey and Colin and Logan and Brody all saying Hoyt. They got it. The correct answer is Hoyt. Hoyt Archery was started by Earl Hoyt Sr. in 1931. Since Archery returned to the Olympics in 1972, Hoyt has won the most medals in the hunting community, Hoyt is known for their flagship carbon bows, which they've been building for about 15 years. Seth is our winner with nine correct answers. Well done, Seth. That was my best trivia ever.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Just imagine if I didn't have that hard-ass Steve question in there. It could have been a perfect game for Seth. I know. Thanks, Steve. That was a dumb question. Seth, as the winner, you get to choose where the $500 donation from MeatEater
Starting point is 00:39:28 goes. What's it going to be? I'm going to do turkeys for tomorrow. Oh, okay. I don't know that we've given to them before. I think we have. Okay, I know we've done NWTF. I don't know that we've done turkeys for tomorrow. What do you like about them? I just love turkeys. And they're just another conservation org that's dedicated to the wild turkey that's
Starting point is 00:39:44 doing good work. They have a fun logo. It's got all them dang turkeys on it. I think, is there even a chick in the logo? I don't remember. There might be, yeah. Well done, Seth. $500 going their way.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Almost the perfect game. Waiting for another one to happen. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
