Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your guest host, Dr. Randall Williams, PhD.
Today we're joined by Giannis Petelis, Ryan Callahan, Spencer Newharth, Corey Calkins,
Corinne Schneider, Hunter Spencer, Brody Henderson, and our special guest today, Brian the Butcher Harmon.
Brian, welcome. Thanks for having me. 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.
Brian, this is your first time playing mediator trivia.
How do you feel about your chances?
I'm not, my expectations are very low.
Fantastic.
Given your profession, I'd just like to note that this is a contest in which you want to have the high score.
High score.
Why don't you tell the folks at home what you do.
Traditional trivia.
Yeah, yeah.
As opposed to golf um before diving into the stat of the week i would
like to note that i am simply reading from a script prepared by spencer for the next few minutes i'm
grateful for his preparation each week here on trivia we reveal a new stat for the stat of the
week this week we're looking at my own performance. On average, I get 70% of questions right.
In the hunting category, it's 68%.
In the fishing category, 67%.
In the conservation category, it's 72%.
And in cooking, it's 70%.
It's really no surprise that I excel in trivia because I am, after all, a doctor.
Well, I didn't write that part.
Oh.
You know, Randall, like 70% in school is like barely a C.
I know.
I'm horrified by looking at this.
C's get degrees.
Grandpa the surgeon would say, you know what C got you in medical school?
A degree?
He became a doctor.
Randall, I'd trust you as a doctor.
Really?
I think I would.
Because I'm calm and cool under pressure?
Yes.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Yeah.
Seemed like you'd have good bedside manner.
I could trust you.
Yeah, I'm good at putting on the face, right?
Oddly aloof, like most good surgeons are.
How do you know what most good surgeons are like?
I've had to go see a couple,
got a lot of work.
Sucks.
That's a compliment,
Randall.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I mean,
we were just getting to know,
we're just getting to know each other,
but apparently he's got a good read.
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 456.
The topic was woodsmanship and nobody got it right.
Merriam-Webster defines this five letter word as, quote, a spout inserted in a tree to draw off sap.
Hmm.
I forgot it already.
Yanni, you were here.
Brody was here.
I was here, yeah.
No recollection.
I didn't.
I'm going to say spigot.
That's six.
More than five letters.
Did I get it right?
No.
Do we give up?
I think we should.
The correct answer was spile.
S-P-I-L-E.
Not one that sticks with you.
No, no.
I remember thinking that I didn't like this question when I first heard it,
and then I read it again when Spencer sent me this email,
and it aggravated me once more.
The incorrect answers given were stipe, spout, spike, and crank.
All of which make more sense.
Yes. We also have make more sense. Yes.
We also have some housekeeping to get to.
In a previous game of trivia,
we had a question about the New River Gorge National Park.
And while I was taking a victory lap at my correct answer,
I talked about an ancient river that was there before the New River.
I pronounced the old river as the Tees River,
but listener Brent Brash wrote in to let me know that it's actually the Tees River.
I guess I should have gotten a doctorate in English instead of philosophy.
That's a weird thing for you to say, Randall.
I know.
I know.
My degree is in history, though.
Oh, well, you need to update your LinkedIn then,
because that's where I got that information.
Ah, well, I don't want to get into it.
You're lying to somebody
here, Rangel.
I don't want to get into
advanced degrees here.
His multiple advanced degrees.
He just got one on the side
while he was getting it.
Why would your LinkedIn
say philosophy then?
Who are you trying to impress?
So, in the academic world,
it's always a doctor
of philosophy,
like a doctor of math.
You don't become
a doctor of history.
You have a doctor
of philosophy in history doctor of met you don't become a doctor of history you have a doctor of philosophy in history oh yeah room goes quiet let's move on
now the sydney index for today's round is a three so our winner should get six and i feel
pretty good about that with that we're on to our game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.
It's so neat watching these kids live out their dreams.
Everybody's a winner here today.
Yeah, this is my nightmare.
We watched a lot of kids got nice bucks over the weekend,
but it's not stacking up to this moment right here.
I feel like I'm in the Santa suit right now.
Don't you feel a little bit good, though?
Because you should feel like you have a little better chance of winning today,
being that he's not playing.
Oh, no, that's not.
Steve said he didn't want to guest host because he couldn't win.
And I'm happy to be guest hosting because I can't lose.
So actually, I feel I don't
Well, I don't like the camera trained right at me I feel comfortable knowing I won't walk out of here with a big old L on my floor
I think you're doing great man. Thanks guys. Oh so far. You're the best one. Thanks Brody sometimes
Fighting words
So there's a chance you could take an L here.
Do you have any questions for us? I do.
I do. Let's move on.
Thanks, all.
Question number one.
The category of firearms.
Oh, you put the answer on the board.
Oh, no, you didn't. Never mind.
The acronym
SAMI, most commonly
associated with specifications for firearm cartridges, stands for what?
And this is a multiple choice question.
Your options are A, standards of arms and ammunition manual for industry.
B, shooters and arms makers international.
C, sporting arms and ammunition manufacturers institute.
Or D, scientific ammunition accuracy measurement and inspection. C. Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute or D. Scientific Ammunition Accuracy Measurement and Inspection
That's a lot of syllables, guys, and I nailed them all.
You got the longest question ever already.
I know.
I just realized that as I was reading it aloud.
Spencer never does the ABCD, but I did in this case
just because I don't think people are going to want to write all that stuff.
You know this one, Brody?
We'll find out.
We've got an answer from Brody.
I got an answer.
We've got an answer from Ryan Callahan.
I've looked at a lot
of Sammy specs, but boy, I can't
tell you. You used to do a lot of reloading, didn't you?
Can't tell you what it stands
for. You got any
30-06 reloads laying around?
Yes.
Lone Dig.
How are we feeling?
We ready for a reveal?
Corey, we got an answer?
Yes, sir.
Wait, wait, give me...
I lost my marker.
This is very important.
I'm sorry, Randall.
Vamp.
I'll continue to keep everyone's attention
while Phil looks for his marker.
Is that what vamp means?
I don't know.
That's stage terminology, I think. What does vamp mean? Like, Phil Space. Yeah, yeah. Is that what vamp means? I don't know. It's that stage terminology, I think.
What does vamp mean?
Like Phil's face.
Yeah, yeah.
Did I do it enough?
You did it great.
I found it.
Okay, great.
Why don't we flip our answers over here?
Brian the Butcher has A, Hunter, A, Corey, D, Spencer. C. Brody.
B. Cal.
A. Corinne.
A. And Giannis.
A.
We have a correct answer in the room.
The answer is C.
Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute.
Did you know that, Spencer?
Purely a guess.
Who had C there?
Anyone?
Spencer.
I did.
Corinne had it and X'd out.
I noted that, but in the moment, I couldn't keep track of what.
I was just so focused on reading the names and answers.
Cal was so quick to that A, too.
You looked at it, you're like, this is a no-brainer.
You could have named it without.
Institute is redundant.
I feel like we know it's the institute.
Are you challenging me on the name of this organization?
No, I'm just explaining why I got it wrong.
It's just like, that's a stupid name.
The correct answer is C, Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute.
I think it's a stupid name.
I think Sammy should change their name.
That's why I changed my answer.
Thank you.
Formed in 1926, Sammy is an accredited developer of standards for safety, reliability, and
interchangeability in firearm, ammunition, and component manufacturers.
You'll commonly hear of Sammy approving the latest new cartridge that goes to market,
and you'll often hear the phrase Sammy spec used among hand loaders or rifle builders.
And here's a fun fact for you.
Sammy was among the leaders in the effort to rally firearms and ammunition manufacturers to support the Pittman-Robertson Act.
Giannis, did you used to push your loads past the Sammy specs?
No, sir.
Oh, it's been done.
I tried to think about if I was the host there, which ones would I come up with?
And I thought A and D were Randall.
So then I was down to B and C and I just guessed for C.
You know, I've never had so much fun trying to come up with made up acronyms.
Okay.
Well, then you haven't played the board game Balderdash.
You should play that.
That's absolutely true.
Okay.
Question two is hunting. Two species of this animal are the only trophies scored and recorded in Boone and Crockett by a measurement of its two prominent front teeth.
So the answer is one animal, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
Got it.
Bro, do you know this?
I'm not going to say anything until I get one right.
If the answer was the northern robin and Southern Robin, you would just say Robin.
Trying to stay away
from mammals. Yanni, I got this one right.
Starting out 2-0 here.
I don't think he's the only one.
Good for you. Are you
giving us a little lesson in smack talking today?
No, I'm not.
Scored by two front teeth.
It's gotta be be the timber tiger.
Are we all good?
Looks like we're still waiting on a couple answers here.
Sabertooth cat.
Oh.
I can only think of one animal with big teeth, front teeth.
Are those teeth?
How many are we getting with the front teeth?
Are they, if it's smiled, like...
We're out of questions.
God dang it.
No.
That's the time.
Thanks, Phil.
Why don't we flip our boards over and see who's got it?
We got a couple.
Brian the Butcher's got nothing.
Hunter says bear. Hunter says bear.
Corey says bear.
Spencer says walrus.
Brody says walrus.
Cal says...
All of his answers are crossed off.
Elephant.
Corinne says mountain lion.
Giannis says walrus.
The correct answer is walrus.
To score a walrus,
you add together the length
of each loose tusk,
as well as four circumference measures
of each.
An all-time Boone and Crockett Atlantic walrus
must score at least a 95,
while an all-time Pacific walrus
must score at least 100.
The take of walruses has been prohibited
since 1972 under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act. The current all-time Pacific walrus, scoring 147 and four-eighths, was picked
up in 1997 by Ralph Young, who located the massive trophy while flying the shores of Bristol Bay,
beachcombing in his Super Cub. Two species, please? What are the two species of walrus?
Atlantic walrus and Pacific walrus.
Two species of this animal.
So it's the two...
How do you measure a hippo?
A boon and crocket cub only measures
North American animals.
Does an Atlantic walrus differ much
from a Pacific walrus?
Just a little smaller, it seems.
Okay.
Are we good with the answer?
Yes, very satisfied.
Our next question comes in the category of conservation, sort of.
Sort of.
I didn't really label this one very...
Let's just go with it.
Nobody cares.
Yeah.
Maybe that was just an error in transposition between my various documents.
Jack Olsen's classic 1969 book, Night of the Grizzlies, which details the fatal maulings of two young women in Glacier National Park,
was originally a three-part article for what popular magazine?
Anybody reading magazines back in 1969?
No.
No.
Phil, how are we doing?
You're doing great.
We good on time?
This is fantastic.
We're doing, yeah, just perfect on time.
Am I sitting at the right height?
I feel my posture collapsing.
You know, the more questions you ask me, the less sort of confident you sound.
I just want to get it right.
I just want to get it right.
It seems like we have answers from almost everybody in the room.
We ready to go to answers here?
Whoa, you're really rushing us, man.
You're not even giving us time to change our mind or like suss out the competition.
I think the
listeners prefer the action or you could take a second and ask me corinne and hunter about
phil's play that we went to on friday i'll save that for another question okay i'm gonna ask
cory are you confident in your answer no not at all. Great.
I still haven't decided yet.
That's why I'm trying to encourage some cross talk here.
Cal?
No.
I'm getting some bad vibes from Cal right now.
I don't think he likes what I'm doing here.
No, I actually quite like the pace as well.
Fantastic.
Randall, can I ask you how confident you are in my answer?
I feel pretty good.
You think anybody has this right?
I bet someone.
I bet if you kept the pace high, we could have more answers and thus more learning.
I'm trying to accommodate Brody.
I'm accommodated.
Okay, we're sufficiently accommodated in the back.
The answer is Sports Illustrated.
Oh, wow.
Wait, wait, whoa, whoa.
What?
What?
You didn't ask us to play. We didn't reveal our answers yet.
Read the answers for a minute.
Yeah, so that's why I need to focus on what I'm doing instead of spamming.
You just completely psyched yourself out the last two minutes.
I'm guessing nobody got that, right?
Hunter says Field and Stream.
Brian says National Geographic. Corey, Out and Stream. Brian says National Geographic.
Corey, Outdoor Life.
Spencer, National Geographic.
Brody says National Geographic.
Cal says Outdoor Life.
Corinne says Outdoor Life.
Giannis says Time.
That is a zero percenter.
Add to the list.
There we go.
Olsen's painstakingly researched account of the August 1967
killings of Julie
Helgeson and Michelle Koons
in two separate areas of the park
stands as the definitive account of this
tragedy, so much so that the event
itself is most often referred to
by the title of his book.
The May 26th issue of Sports
Illustrated featured a cover headline
that read, The Grizzly, Enemy of Man? Must He Be Exterminated?
And included a letter from publisher Gary Valk, who wrote the following.
It is hard to accept the fact that the zoo image is not the real image,
and that the captive bear conceals his hatred of man only because he has no choice.
We hope the menacing grizzly shown
on this cover will help reinforce olsen's conclusion that man and bear cannot peacefully
coexist in the wild i didn't know that was his conclusion i don't know either that's just what
the guy in si wrote what a different time i thought he was going the other way when he started yeah
yeah very different time to be uh bandying about ideas about should we exterminate a species?
Yeah.
Especially for Sports Illustrated.
People need to broaden their.
They were almost exterminated at that point anyway.
People need to broaden their minds and understand that sometimes that's what coexisting is.
You got to look at all.
You got to look at it from all sides.
You got to eat this time.
Yes.
That's actually like very much coexisting.
Like you're coexisting in their belly.
Did you come across that when you were doing your PhD research?
You know what I did?
Thanks for asking, Giannis.
So one of my favorite images of all time is the cover of that magazine.
And I've stored it away in my brain for years and years for this little trick.
What's the bear looking like?
Is he snarling?
He's roaring.
He's sort of head in profile like this.
Teeth up.
Beautiful.
Bigger teeth.
That's the thumbnail right there.
Yeah.
Turn into you.
You turn,
tune in on YouTube to see my face.
We're on to question four.
Question four is in the category of fishing.
Bill Lewis invented this iconic lure by adding BBs to a standard hardbait,
resulting in what Outdoor Life magazine once declared to be, quote,
the most influential fishing lure of all time.
Got some answers hitting some whiteboards.
That's a good sign.
Some people puzzling.
Some people squinting.
Brian, you got this one.
I'm the most confident of this answer of all the ones.
I feel pretty good vibes coming from the left side of the room.
Is this specific like you'd say an A5 shotgun?
It's a brand.
Yeah, it's a product.
It's not a category or a type of lure.
This would show up on your receipt if you bought one.
It's a good way to set that up, Randall.
Thank you.
How was that musical? Sorry, not a musical.
A screwball comedy
from the 1930s.
Among those who were in attendance this weekend.
Phil, knock it out of the park.
It was great. Phil's a star.
Yep. Wonderful.
We knew that. Phil was electric.
Show stealer is what I heard.
And electric.
Did you guys shower him with flowers at the end?
No, we showered him with wine.
Came to the wine bar afterwards.
And he got Korean fried chicken, I think,
and a glass of an old-fashioned.
That sounds much better than my Saturday night.
Corey Calkins over there.
Freezing on the top of a ridge top
in 20 mile an hour winds.
What was your cut of the
door, Phil?
Oh, I don't find out until after the run of the show.
Alright.
Looks like we're all ready for the answer.
I'll read yours first this time.
Brian the Butcher says a
rattle trap. Hunter says rattle trap.
Corey says rattle.
Banger.
Banger.
Spencer says rattle trap.
Brody says rattle trap.
Cal says rattle trap.
Corinne has a question mark.
Giannis says rattle trap.
The correct answer is rattle trap.
Launching what some have called the Rattle Revolution,
the Rattletrap took over the bass fishing scene in the 1970s,
and the Bill Lewis Lure Company has since sold more than 150 million of them.
Inspiration for the lure's catchy name struck Lewis
as he was driving his old Ford station wagon,
which he had affectionately nicknamed, any guesses?
The Rattle Trap.
You guys got it.
The Rattle Banger.
No, the Rattle Trap.
You're looking at Corey's answer, I see.
Legendary pro angler Roland Martin
credits the Rattle Trap as being, quote,
very instrumental in my career
and pointed out that, quote,
very few bait companies have been able to exist
on just one lure.
Anybody caught a fish on a rattle trap?
Caught a pierced.
I pierced my mother's nose with a rattle trap.
Really?
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
We're catching.
Was that the bone you were throwing to him?
No, no, I had no idea.
We hadn't talked about this yet.
We were catching hybrids up at Clark Hill in Augusta and the afternoon they'll come
and like boil up and you troll these rattle traps around the outskirts of them and every line goes and so
i'm trying to like pitch this out pitch a rattle trap out goes back doesn't come forward on the
mom's face got to push the barb through cut it bring it back out and i'm upset because that
particular size rattle trap was the one that they couldn't stand.
And now it had, you know, one less set of treble hooks.
Your mother is a saint.
She is a saint.
She still put up with your golf hobby after that ordeal.
That's correct.
Yeah, that was before golf.
So she didn't hold that against me.
Fantastic.
Was that what made you take up golf?
Uh, no.
Maybe she steered you towards golf from fishing in an event to prevent future puncture wounds.
Yep.
Had a few of those.
Yeah, I remember the, we used to call them like a Charlie horse, but it was a top water
plug that had the, like, almost looked like.
Propellers?
Like a torpedo?
Yeah, a little propeller.
It was like an inny bitty, like, um, um, anyway, I throw one of those things into the bushes
in our neighborhood and my dad's with me and I'm trying to get it out.
And I finally, you know, set it loose and he said he heard it whistle by him and then
right into the top of my head.
Oh, I, I had a, I think it was a rattle trap stuck in a bush and we were fishing from a
canoe in the boundary waters and I chucked it up into the bank and we paddle over to
it and my dad's trying to get it out.
And a gust of wind just blows the canoe into the hooks.
And he stuck three fingers together on one travel.
Convenient though, you blame the wind.
Yeah.
It wasn't my fault at all.
And actually I wouldn't have grabbed it the way he had.
He put himself in that position.
That's why you're a doctor.
Yeah.
We could have used a doctor on that trip.
On to question
five, unless there are any other
fun memories
we'd like to recall about injuries. Rattletrap
anecdotes. Question
five is in the category of
conservation. A
proposal to dam this river
by some measures, North America's
third largest,
300 miles downstream from the town of Circle at the site of Rampart Canyon, would have created a lake roughly the size of Lake Erie.
I'll read that again because it's very poorly worded. A proposal to dam this river, by some measures, North America's third longest, 300 miles downstream from the town of Circle at the site of Rampart Canyon, would have created a lake roughly the size of Lake Erie.
There's a lot of context clues in there, guys.
If you're not familiar with this whole controversy you can pick out some pick out some clues there and let me know one town called circle oh
you're picking up what i'm putting down then
cal's staring at me
brody's got an answer spencer's got an answer I know a couple circles
I don't know any
How are we feeling on this side of the room?
Poor
Hungry
Very hungry
I'm feeling pretty hungry too
You got plans?
Not yet
Brody's got an answer
Brody's got his board down
Giannis is waiting on an answer.
Cal's waiting on an answer.
I don't know.
I'm just going to use this time to apologize to the YouTube audience.
I cut to the wrong camera, and I think you just stared at my head for about 10 seconds
without me noticing.
What a treat.
I hope you enjoyed the view.
You don't need to apologize.
We should be thanking you.
You're a star.
You're a local celebrity.
Yeah, they're like, good.
It's a great break from Randall.
Electric, show stealing.
Oh, yeah.
Nice head of hair on the kid.
I mean, geez.
Might have a frame around it if it was mine.
It was referenced no minimum than I think three times how handsome Phil was in the play.
They kept talking about how good looking he was.
I think they called him handsome.
Deb and air.
Were you in period costume?
He was the love interest.
Blacktop?
Can't teach that.
Well, I think we need to set this.
How would you rate the other people on stage?
Just name them by name.
This was how they described him.
When Phil entered the stage, every character was swooning.
Really?
The energy changed in the theater.
So it's kind of.
Is that how your normal life is, Phil?
I was going to say, it's like when he walks into the podcast.
It's my burden to bear.
People are constantly putting frames around my hair.
I'm going to help Phil out here and change the subject.
Thank you.
Corey, answer?
Yep.
Why don't we reveal our answers?
We do have a correct answer in the room.
Can we, can we, oh, you're going to read this?
Yes.
Yeah, I just wanted to set up that suspense.
Got it.
This is, yeah.
Am I correct?
Brian the Butcher says Missouri.
Hunter says Missouri.
Corey says Columbia.
Spencer says Yellowstone.
Brody says Colorado.
Cal has a blank board.
Corinne has a crossed out answer.
And Giannis says the Yukon.
The correct answer is the Yukon River.
Nice.
Darn it, Giannis.
Good job.
First put forth by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1954,
the highly controversial proposal to dam the Yukon
at Rampart Canyon, or quote, the Narrows, entailed a 530 foot high and 4,700 foot long
structure.
Boosters, including most prominently U.S. Senator Ernest Gruening, hoped it would provide
enough cheap electricity to attract industry to Alaska, and if completed, the reservoir would have been the world's largest man-made body of water at an estimated 270 miles long and 80 miles wide.
Hunters and anglers from across the country were among the most outspoken critics of the idea, as it would have flooded the sloughs and marshes that make the Yukon Flats one of the most productive waterfowl breeding grounds in North America.
Lake Erie.
Yeah.
So that was a clue.
There's not a lot of places you could put a
lake the size of Lake Erie without flooding
some stuff.
By what measure is the Yukon River the third
largest?
Volume?
Length.
Length.
Yeah.
Well, you changed the wording of the question since
you sent me this email so that's partially my fault too no phil it's my fault i feel like
this has all been pretty scattershot and i haven't been as communicative i haven't been
as communicative with you i just want to let you know it started off great it's kind of uh
it's it's unraveling oh i think this is great. I think...
I'm having a great time, Randall.
I've been in your seat. It's a lot of work to put this together.
Oh, yeah. I was planning on doing it all
yesterday. Pull yourself together,
Randall.
Phil, we've now
been through five questions.
We're halfway through our game of trivia.
Can we have a score update,
please? Oh, I'd love to. We've got Corey our game of trivia. Can we have a score update, please?
Oh, I'd love to.
We've got Corey and Corinne with zero points.
They'll get there.
Then we've got Hunter, Cal, and Brian, all with one point apiece.
Brody has two, and tied up in first place are Spencer and Giannis with three points.
This is by far and away the worst game I've ever played, I feel.
So, congrats, Doctor.
Cal, I got a couple coming up for you So, congrats, doctor. I guess.
Cal, I got a couple coming up for you.
You're going to like these.
Do you have a golf bone for Brian?
Big fish bite early.
There's a bone coming later.
Big old bone coming later.
I probably won't even know.
Now this is a family show.
No, no.
Please, no. Please.
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 our northern
brothers get irritated well if you're sick of you know sucking high and titty there on x is now in

Question six is in the category of cooking.
This term refers to the intramuscular fat content in a cut of meat and is one of the criteria for USDA grading.
This term refers to the intramuscular fat content in a cut of meat
and is one of the criteria for USDA grading.
We've got some answers in the room.
Cal, feel good?
Feel good.
Feel better?
This might be 100%.
Thank you, doctor.
I wanted to get one of those out there in the world.
Yeah, especially after you threw a zero.
It's also one of those that can, you know,
if you get the brain blockage, it could stump you.
It could stump you.
Randall, tell folks about the question that you wanted to do that was some movie reference with a bumper sticker.
Oh, yeah.
And then you thought it was too obscure.
Yeah, the movie.
Just ask the question.
Yeah.
I can't.
I can't.
It's not.
Well, I could ask the question.
Are you familiar with a film where the character
says he's got a bumper sticker on his truck he's he'd already rather be bow hunting do you know
this movie nope yes no one get it i was gonna play this clip it's one of my favorite clips
are we all done with the uh movie's kicking screaming it's a noah bomb back film oh yeah
and they're getting into an argument about a parking spot and the guy's girlfriend gets out of the truck to yell at the uh the man who's taken
her spot and the guy the character goes i don't think we should be doing this he says he'd already
rather be bow hunting let's just leave him alone would have been a zero percenter we've got answers
in the room brian the butcher says marbling hunter says marbling
cory's blank spencer marbling brody marbling cal marbling corinne marbling janice marbling
the correct answer is marbling it's not as much fun when everybody gets on well cory didn't get
it so it's actually more fun don't put those vibes out, Cal.
Cal said it's not as much fun if everyone gets it
so Corey got it wrong, so it's actually more fun.
See, I'm laughing.
No, it's more fun.
That would have been a tough one to miss for the new nickname.
According to the tech.
That would have been the final name.
I didn't even make that connection.
That could have been your bone, but I got another one for you.
Okay.
According to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service,
marbling is the intermingling or dispersion of fat within the lean.
The minimum degree of marbling required for carcasses to be graded prime
is slightly abundant.
That's good.
That narrows it down.
There are all these great descriptors
that coincide with the different gradations
and they go from like abundant,
moderately abundant, slightly abundant,
and they keep going down.
And I was just so tickled by something
being slightly abundant.
It was just such a fun concept for me
that I made this question.
Is there any wild game that has good marbling?
Wild pigs.
I've seen marbling in bears and muskox.
Yeah, black bears for sure.
No guy looked like they'd have good marbling,
but I've never been into one.
Did not
Question seven
I don't have a category for this one
But it could be under gear
Order these cartridges
From smallest to largest
By bullet diameter
Can I use my calculator?
No, no
From what to what?
From smallest to largest by bullet diameter.
We have a.338 Winchester Magnum,.375 H&H, an 8mm Remington Magnum, and a 9.3x62 Mauser.
What's so funny,andall uh smallest to largest smallest to largest i don't know how i feel about this question why i just said i don't know why but i'm gonna think about it and give you an answer
you're not happy about it or you're not sure if you're happy or sad about it? Probably just because I'm a little perplexed right now.
A lot of numbers swirling around in folks' heads.
Corinne's got her calculator
out.
I'm only joking.
Only joking.
Fearlessly scribbling.
There's such a guess.
Clock is ticking.
Brody's doing the thing where he gets down low
and puts his hand over his hat and covers his face with the board.
That's a textbook.
That's textbook Brody.
Randall couldn't write this whole episode yesterday
because he killed a big giant bull, right?
Not a big giant bull, but big enough.
Yeah.
I did.
I was going to do all of this preparation is he killed a big giant bull, right? Not a big giant bull, but big enough. Yeah. I did.
I was going to do all of this preparation that has been evidently absent yesterday afternoon,
but I shot a bull at 8 in the morning
and got home well after dark.
And then I woke up at 2.30,
and I just thought about trivia until 4.30,
and then I got up and just sat there staring at the screen.
That's prep, Randall's just thinking about the thing.
I was surprised that you email so late.
Well, I had a similar thing.
I was like, I got to get this to Randall before Monday.
And so then I was up late last night.
I'm in bed by nine.
Just so you know.
How many grizzly bears did you see?
Saw two grizzly bears and heard one in the middle of the night
when I jumped out of my tent to go to the bathroom,
go and run off to the trees and the night when I jumped out of my tent to go to the bathroom, go, and run off through the trees
and break a bunch of stuff.
Yeah, it was not a,
I turned on the longest movie I had on my phone
and just let it play noise after that.
Jurassic World Dominion.
Two hours and 44 minutes.
Aren't there like animals roaring and in distress?
Well, that's, you know,
someone pointed that out to me.
They're like,
the last movie I'd want to watch
is people being chased
by a giant beast.
And I said,
it didn't even occur to me.
I just looked at what Amazon,
you know,
the automatic downloads
and two hours and 44 minutes.
I said,
I'm just going to play this
and turn the volume up
and lay there in my bag
and stare at the tent.
So that was,
that was my Saturday night.
I feel like one of the Jurassic movies, they'd like feed them sheep.
So you could have had like sheep.
Yeah, the first Jurassic Park, they feed a goat to a Tyrannosaur,
but they also feed a cow to the Velociraptors.
That's when Dr. Alan Grant says,
you breeding Velociraptors or something like that yeah
yeah there's that very dramatic opening scene yeah do we have our answers
my sorry my computer went yes um why don't we turn our answers over here
wow that is just calculus I don't I think that's an answer just simply intended.
Disregard this.
Oh, I see.
You've listed them.
Yes.
8 millimeter.
Can we?
Sorry, Phil.
I didn't put letters down.
I will do.
You do you.
You're going to have to keep track of this.
That's fine.
Brian the Butcher says 8 millimeter, 338, 375, 93x62.
Hunter says 338, 8mm, 93x62, 375.
Corey says 93x62, 8mm, 338, 375.
Spencer says 8mm, 338 375, 9
3x62. I feel
like I'm recounting orders
at a restaurant or something. We can tell, Bill, if we get it
right. Brody! Brody says
8mm, 338, 9
3x62, 375.
Cal says 8mm, 338
375, 9 3x62.
Corinne says 9, 3x62
338, 375 8 9, 3x62. Corinne says 9, 3x62, 338, 375,
8mm. Giannis says 8mm,
9, 3, 338, 375.
Are you having fun?
Oh, I was planning on just going
C-A-D-B.
The correct answer.
No. Sorry, Randall.
No, no, it's fine.
Keep going. The correct answer is
C-A-B-D-B.
Brody got it right. Brody's the only one who got it right.
Dang it.
The 9.3 got us.
Can you read the numbers
instead of C-A-B-D?
Brody's board.
8 millimeters is the smallest.
Okay, yeah.
Sorry, I'm all confused because of all these numbers.
The correct answer is C-A-D- CADB That's 8mm Remington Magnum
338 Winchester Magnum
93x62 Mauser
And 375 H&H
What is the diameter on a
93x62 Mauser?
Close
Close to a 375
It's.366
.366.
.366, okay.
Yeah.
I knew a 7mm was a.284.
Every millimeter is like the equivalent of 4. Yeah, I got 4 point something here.
4 point something.
A.338 is an 8.6, so like an 8.6 blackout.
And then an 8mm is.323 like a 325 wisdom so if you knew
one or more of those you could have sort of played around and fudged the numbers
my best friend christian hughes had a winchester model 70 and 9.3 by 62 mauser stolen from his
home in seattle it never turned up bummer but a handgun that was taken in the same robbery was
returned to him by the seattle police department after it was used in court as evidence in a homicide trial oh did he keep it uh he sold
it he sold it because he thought it was weird and then the guy that bought it was like that's
he was like kind of into it you know like war relics or something it was pretty strange but
yeah that was i think i'd hold on to it yeah he had a whole um cabinet full of guns these people
broke into his house and they rolled it down the stairs and knocked down
his front door with the cabinet and put it in the back of a Honda Accord and drove off.
Was it you?
No.
It seems oddly specific.
His neighbor watched the whole thing happen.
Yeah, we were saying his back door was unlocked.
It's crazy.
So do you think you came up with this when you were going through the Sammy book, right?
You were like, oh, there's my reloading book.
No, no.
I always, I think it's fun to memorize the what's what from metric to standard.
I agree, Randall.
Did you know you had that, Brody, or was any of that guessing?
No, I knew it.
I think cartridges and all that stuff is ripe for trivia.
Question eight comes to us
in the category of fishing.
This fishing equipment manufacturer
got its name when its Swedish predecessor,
AB Orfabriken,
sorry,
AB Orfabriken,
didn't want to throw anyone off,
which translates to Watch Factory LLC
merged with its US-S.-based distributor.
What?
That's the question?
What was the question?
What's question eight now?
This fishing equipment manufacturer got its name when its Swedish predecessor,
AB or Fabriken, which translates to Watch Factory LLC,
merged with its U.S.-based distributor.
Brody, you got this?
We have an answer from Brody.
Everybody else is...
You do, Brody?
Yep.
What part of it did you know?
All of it.
You knew it right away.
Let's see.
But I could flip it over and I could look like a real ass, I guess.
Oh, Brody, I feel confident.
I think you got it.
I didn't know you were going to be here.
Otherwise, I would have.
Wasn't supposed to be.
You wouldn't ask this question?
Well, it's one thing to come up with trivia.
And then as you're reading the questions, you have a sense of who's doing well and who might.
Yeah, Spencer, I want to host
sometime. Can I host? For sure.
It's like
selecting your pitcher based on who's up at
bat, right? That's good.
This fishing equipment manufacturer
got its name when
its Swedish predecessor,
AB
Orfabrikan,
which translates to Watch Factory
LLC, merged with
its US-based distributor.
Let's flip the boards
over, folks.
Ah!
Dang it, I was going to...
The answer was
sort of in the question.
AB, oh, let's of in the question. A, B, O.
Let's go around the room.
Brian in the butcher's says Penn International, Hunter Blank, Corey, Shakespeare, Spencer,
Ravala, Brody, Abu Garcia, Cal's already erasing, Corinne's turned her board over and Gianna says
Shimano.
Shimano.
Shimano.
Thank you.
How's that feel, Randall?
It's good.
Shimano.
You know, it's good.
I'm just, I was getting ahead of myself.
I'm all flustered because I did the thing in the wrong order again,
and so I appreciate the correction.
He appreciates it.
A.B. Orr Fabrikan was founded in 1921 as a manufacturer of precision timepieces
and various instruments, including taxicab
meters.
Two decades later, they began to produce fishing reels as the founder's son was an enthusiastic
angler.
So that's the Abu.
Where do we get Garcia?
In the 1950s, the New York-based Garcia Corporation began to import and market Abu reels, including
the signature Ambassador baitcasting reel, which was introduced at the New York World's Fair in 1954.
Abu acquired the Garcia Corporation in 1980,
at which point the iconic brand name stuck.
Is there still a World's Fair?
That's a great question.
In Chicago, right?
Well, that's like...
Well, it used to rotate every...
Yeah.
It used to rotate every now and then.
I'll be honest, that's one area of knowledge that completely eludes me.
I find world's fairs to be very curious.
Yeah.
You read that book, uh, the death in the white city or whatever.
Yeah.
I used to live in that neighborhood.
Oh, cool.
Hyde park.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, I actually didn't know, uh, when I was coming up with this question, I just
thought I have no idea where Abu Garcia comes from.
And I looked it up and I thought that was interesting.
My dad's got a couple old ambassadors.
Good.
Famous real.
Good.
Good.
Yeah.
What does that have to do?
The ambassador really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm kidding.
Well, AB or Fabrican, as we all know, ABU.
That's, that's the.
Oh.
Phil, can we have a score update?
That's question eight.
It's time for an update.
That's some good men.
Yeah, it's a way to remember.
We've got Corey, Corrine, Hunter, Cal, and Brian
are all eliminated from the running,
but we have Spencer, Giannis with four points apiece,
and then in first place with five
is brody henderson all right well it's anybody's game still with two questions left
question nine comes to us in the category of cooking this type of pepper often used as a
filling in stuffed green olives lends its name to both a loaf-style lunch meat as well as a tangy cheese spread found on one of Augusta National Golf Club's most iconic concession items.
Could have had this a little earlier in the lineup.
Yeah.
Made us feel a little better.
You know what?
I planned to reorder my questions to sort of account for the difficulty of each, but then I had to send them to Phil,
and I just ran out of time to do that.
But then you didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Seems like we've all got it.
Why don't we flip the boards over?
You're all right.
It's pimento.
On the board.
This was the only golf-related question I could think of.
Often confused with cherry peppers,
pimentos are large, red, heart-shaped chili peppers,
and the namesake of both pimento loaf and pimento cheese.
According to Taste of the South magazine,
the pimento cheese sandwich at the Masters
has become as famous as the tournament's green trophy blazers.
If you'd like to put a wild spin on, this is, watch this one.
If you'd like to put a wild spin on this Southern staple, you can find Lucas Leaf's
recipe for fish sliders with pimento cheese
at themeateater.com.
Have you had a pimento cheese sandwich at the
Masters?
I have, yes.
Delicious.
What's the verdict?
Go.
Yeah, they're great.
They're great.
I wouldn't call them more famous than the
actual green jacket.
I think it has. That's a little bit. Well, it's coming from Yeah, they're great. They're great. I wouldn't call them more famous than the actual green jacket. I think as-
That's a little bit-
Well, it's coming from Taste of the South magazine.
I would think someone who came up with the pimento cheese sandwich is probably who made
that proclamation.
Could be.
$1.50.
I'd like to know which one's been around longer.
The pimento cheese sandwich or the green jacket?
The green jacket.
Green jacket is 1930s Bobby Jones.
Right.
Pimento cheese sandwich is.
It's got to be earlier than that.
I would think.
Pimento cheese makes a good burger, too.
Oh, yeah.
When I asked you about this Friday, I was totally, I was trying to think, okay, what
might he ask?
And I thought, maybe he'll do a birdie is one under, eagle, two.
What would a hole in? What, two. What's next?
What's next?
It's the bird with the largest wingspan in North America
that came from the board game.
Oh, that would be brilliant.
We have this question in the board game.
That would have been brilliant.
I don't know the answer.
You would never get one of these, Yanni.
Albatross.
David Chang recommends putting the, I believe believe the chicken sandwich and the pimento
cheese sandwich together combining yeah the master's concessions are legendary i'm going in
2024 are you beers are cheap too and i'm very excited true that all of the food is wrapped
in green paper so that's all it's all super so if it goes on the ground the cameras don't pick it up
and it looks like but but i mean, the jackets are green, too.
A lot of the bird noise is piped in.
Yeah, the theories are wild.
Like, have you ever seen a squirrel on the dust?
I've never seen a bird, a squirrel, nothing.
They should pipe in some wild turkey gobbles.
That'd be nice.
That'd be a nice touch.
Since everybody got that right
I don't think our leaderboard has changed much
Phil, but if I'm wrong
please tell
Nope, we've got Giannis and Spencer with 5, Brody with 6
So Brody's gotta slip up and they've gotta
pull it together
That'd be fun
Question 10 comes to us
in the category of hunting
Which 20th century U.S. president
shot his first deer at the Texas ranch of his running mate only nine days after his election?
It's a fun question.
Yeah, it's a good one, Randall.
Thanks, Phil.
Running mate.
A lot of sort of hmms and haws.
Maybe some breakthroughs, some revelations.
Cal's furrowing his eyebrows and you know this Brody?
I feel pretty good
oh
the last board is
Corinne's thinking
do I feel good?
Brody seems to have been
feeling good and now no longer is certain
I don't think I know my running mates
well enough
are he's doing the thing again Feeling good and now no longer is certain. I don't think I know my running mates well enough.
He's doing the thing again.
Is everyone done?
I'll make it interesting.
Let's turn them over.
Let's turn them over.
The Butcher says John F. Kennedy.
Hunter says W.
Corey says Bush Sr. Spencer says Bush. Brody says JFK. There is a correct answer in the room.
It's John F. Kennedy.
Dang it.
Brody?
Brody.
Who is his running mate, Brody?
Do you know
Lyndon Johnson
LBJ
A Texan
There we go
Smart
Famous Texan
According to William Manchester's
1967 book
Death of a President
Lyndon Johnson
Brought the mount of the buck
To the White House
And insisted it be displayed
In the Oval Office
Now whether or not
JFK took to the experience
Remains a point of contention
Relying on interviews With Jacqueline Kennedy, Manchester maintained that Kennedy was haunted by the memory of shooting the deer.
Upon hearing this version of events, LBJ was recorded as saying,
Forcing the poor man to go deer hunting?
Hell, he not only killed one deer, he insisted on killing a second.
I like that version.
I like that version, too.
I do, too. I like that version. I like that version too. I do too.
I do too.
No need for a tiebreaker.
I believe Brody is our champion.
Two point win he had.
Can we hear the tiebreaker question?
Very sad applause.
How many...
Just for fun.
You guys have time.
Let's throw it out there.
Did I go too fast?
I was asking Cal.
Do we need to kill time?
No, this was a pretty long episode.
It was good.
Of our 154 national forests,
how many begin with the letter S?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Shoshone.
Sequoia.
Sequoia National Forest.
Way off.
I'm looking for a number.
Not a name.
The answer's 19.
Jeez.
Wow.
Brody, as today's champion, I congratulate, well, you're today's champion.
I just phrased that incorrectly so it sounded as if I had won.
But as today's champion, you can give $500 to the conservation organization of your choosing.
Do you feel like you won, Randall?
You know, it went better than I thought.
Randall, you did great.
It's going to take a day or two for me to fully process.
And then I'm going to listen and read all the comments.
You were very entertaining.
Thanks, Brody.
I'm trying to bring it.
Where would you like the money to go to, Brody?
We just got off a sweet two-day youth hunt, Montana youth hunt for mule deer.
So we're going to do the mule deer foundation.
Timely.
Wonderful.
Yes.
The mule deer foundation thanks you.
I assume.
I hope so.
Spencer, it says here in my notes now that I'm
supposed to throw it to you to plug the tournament,
which comes next week.
Next week.
It's my favorite stretch of the year.
We have four episodes.
It's the meat eaterater Trivia Tournament.
We're going to crown a champion of Meat Eater Trivia for 2023.
We start with 20 players.
By the end of it, we have one person who gets their name on the plaque.
That's coming up.
We have two qualifying episodes, followed by two championship episodes.
The championship is a two-part episode.
I'm very excited.
Please go listen.
Fantastic.
Thanks, gang. This was fun.
Rando, you did great.
Thanks, Rando.
