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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
That was a good choice.
Hey, folks.
Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada.

Question six.
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Almost the perfect game.
Waiting for another one to happen.
