Yeah well I mean you're not wearing a Bates hat You're wearing a main hat So I've been to a lot of states.

If you have a trivia related question for our crew send it to

trivia at the meateater.com with the subject line, IFAQ Daniel Riley says WTF one day Spencer just shows up with a mustache and no one even talks about it did he lose a bet? Kennedy Swan says why did you shave your beard to a handlebar mustache and soul patch? I think it was for a Halloween costume, but my husband disagrees well, Daniel and Kennedy. I did not lose a bet

It was not for a Halloween costume. I just did it. That's that's it. I wish I had some grand story about it That's it people are so demanding about Hair choices so bizarre to me. We had chili razzing Nate over here. What's your goal here? He's saving up for a down payment People listen to you more when you have a stash. Oh wow I would know that because Yeah, yeah But a lot of people have complimented me on it Namely three which is three more than I ever got compliments on a shaved upper. Uh-huh nice mustache

No, that's for I think I'm gonna keep it at least through the rut. Yeah, there you go No, and I want to say that it's not that nobody you're always changing things up. So I don't think anybody's like Oh my god, look at that mustache right now I'm letting it grow because I've got a cold archery hunt next week And I want to that you know keeps me warm also You know knocks down some of the glare when I'm hopefully 12 yards from a buck Where you going? We'll see South Dakota leaving leaving soon, and we have some housekeeping to get you on a previous episode of trivia We had a question about what the fishing acronym CPR means.

The correct answer was Catch Picture Release, which encourages anglers to practice catch and release with certain fish like trout and bass. But Drew Donzella wrote in with a photo that he took of a sign at a fishing access site in Connecticut that was created by the Department of Environmental Protection. That sign asked anglers to CPR, which they defined as Consider Proper Release. I also found a pamphlet from a Wisconsin Trout Unlimited chapter that encouraged fishermen to consider proper release when targeting trout. Now that's certainly the less popular version of CPR that is catch picture release. But if you said, consider proper release as your answer, then we'll consider that

correct either way. The acronym's goal is to get anglers to keep more fish alive. That's like the start of a 12 step program. We just want you to consider it's properly and then come back to us. Once you're like considering it and we'll get you into the rest of the program. Mm-hmm. That's weird Yeah, don't don't agree. Isn't that deep Connecticut? Connecticut well isn't that their acronym for Game it must well yet Department of Environmental Protection

I can't keep up with some of those agencies have like one that sort of manages It feels like state parks and one that manages wildlife so I don't know how their breakdown is. Now the Shelby index for today is a seven which is her best score on meat eater trivia ever. With that we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop Phil. Game on suckers! Question one, the topic is gear and as always this will be multiple choice. Which of these debuted first? Is it Ford F-150, Remington 870, Rapala Shadrap or Bass Pro Shops? Which of these things debuted first? Ford F-150, Remington 8 870 Rapala Shadrap

Bass Pro Shops Shelby getting a 7 could give her a victory today She's won one game ever before with the Shelby Index This could be the second I don't think it is as easy as she made it seem

Which of these things debuted first? F-150, Remington 870, Shadrap, best pro. Is everybody ready? How do you... did Shelby win the game during the testing phase where it's only you two? She had a Shelby index of five and I think our winner also had five and then I gave her the multiple choice question when I got home and she had a closer answer than Yanni Who was our winner that day? I don't understand how you can consider it actually winning if there's not the social pressure Well in in the bookkeeping Yanni got the victory so yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's everybody ready Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sam saying Bass Pro.

Randall, Remington 870. Cal, Remington 870. Corey and Chili say Remington 870. Nate and Colin and Sarah say Bass Pro. One of you two groups is correct. The correct answer is Remington 870. The Remington 870 made its debut in 1950. Bass Pro was in 1972, the Ford F-150 was in 1975, and the Rapala Shadrap was 1982.

The topic is cooking. This 1991 movie created the famous pairing of quote, liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti this 1991 movie created the famous pairing of liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti I think it's fava yeah fava beans okay that's fine won't won't argue with with you on that I got too stressed about the

pronunciation of the wine I went to a new bar to me in an old Montana town a couple weeks ago. And they had chislik. Oh really? What kind of meat was it? I don't know. It was like very expensive chislik. I think they were upgrading the beef. If it's very expensive, I would assume it's lamb or mutton But if it just seemed reasonable then it was probably beef. It was like 19 bucks Okay, which seems very expensive for deep fat fried Or deep oil fried this cow you try some and then you you'll you'll know the price tag is worth it

It's our state nosh in South Dakota. I get it, but I mean is that an official category What's that? No? No they don't would be good. Yeah, they made it one This 1991 movie created the famous pairing of liver with some fava beans a nice kiyanti. There's a hint Is everybody ready? Do you think you know it's Sam?

It puts the lotion on the skin Or else it gets the hose again, oh i have no idea Joe dirt bit they reference it in there yeah, yeah, oh yeah Isn't that a Joe Dirtbit? They reference it in there as well. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Chianti is a dry red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy. In the book, it was an Amarone, but producers changed it to a wine that they thought was more familiar with audiences.

Here is Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter delivering that line. delivering that line. A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Cory did his little hiss. Do it one more time for us, Cory. Very good Hannibal Lecter over there. Question three, the topic is woodsmanship. So you should have been for Halloween.

Name two of the ten states that have a pine tree as their state tree. Name two of the ten states that have a pine tree as their state tree two of ten, huh two of ten Cory won the meat eater Halloween costume contest last week You could see him wearing that costume on meat eater radio.

Just some educated guesses happening. If we put more than two answers? You're gonna get it wrong. Damn it. Sam, are you ready?

Lost track after Cory, okay. We're gonna come back here. We'll read these again. We have chili saying Colorado, Montana Nate Georgia Alabama Colin Maine Washington Sarah Maine Nate, Georgia, Alabama, Colin, Maine, Washington, Sarah, Maine, Vermont. The 10 states turns out didn't really matter that I lost track of 10 states are Alabama,

Arkansas, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and North Carolina. I think Cory was the only one who got it. Cory Culkin. That's right. One of eight players to get the two of ten states. Like Stanford is a tree. Pine trees are the most common state tree in America, followed by oak trees and maple trees.

Every state has a state tree, but California and Nevada are the only states with two state trees. Question four, the topic is fishing. According to Orvis, this is quote, the most widely used knot for tying two pieces of monofilament together. According to Orvis, this is the most widely used knot for tying two pieces of monofilament

together Cory did you get question one right? yep okay then we have a perfect game still going in the net I'm so jealous should be should be Sarah do you have this one right? So jealous the most widely used you for tying two pieces of monofilament together

Sarah do you have this one right? I Think I've got a shot okay Chilly do you have this one right I think so okay, Cory I don't think Cory uses this one though when we go fishing together But yeah, I don't like this one. Yeah, if it is what I think it is Cory has said some bad stuff It's everybody ready Talking smack about knots go ahead and reveal your answers we have We'll trust him Sam says what's what's your answer Sam surgeon surgeons not

Randall surgeons not Cal Surgeons not Cory what's that say Cory? Well, you don't have to read surgeons not Chile Surgeons not Nate Surgeons not Colin Fisherman's not Sarah Yeah that hint from Chili there. That's what tipped me over the edge. Cause I prefer the blood knot.

The correct answer is the blood knot. Only Sarah got that one right. Orvis says the blood knot is the best knot for construction of a tapered leader, but they also say it's a knot that anglers struggle with most. According to them, the speed blood knot is a good easy alternative, but because the tag ends go through the central loop in the same direction, it's not a true blood knot. What does Orvis know? You'd think the most widely used knot would be the easier knot.

You're saying the surgeon's knot is easier Oh, okay, but you like the blood knot better. It's stronger Between the two or this declared it again the most widely used knot for tying two pieces of monofilament together Where's or of a space to you? New East the Northeast in Vermont. Yeah, that's pretty much the point Everyone here is surgeon's knot. Everyone over there is a blood knot? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Question five, the topic is haunting. This next great question is via Josh Ringsmooth. Zwicky Archery invented this small game arrowhead with wire springs that they refer to as quote, the unlosable miracle point. I've lost them both. I'm not lucky.

Ha ha. We have some disagreement with the marketing they use. Zwicky Archery invented this small game arrowhead with wire springs that they refer to as the unlosable miracle point. Who said they've lost one oh Okay, three ways What were you doing cow when you lost yourself one of these? I'm watching a grouse fly away with it in it. Oh it was in it. Yeah, wow yeah Cory what was your start?

Certainly a few grouse take off with mine and then others What was your story? Certainly a few grouse take off with mine and then others grouse ducks right when I let go and the arrow just sails for miles And uh, Chilly, why did you lose one of these arrowheads? Well, it's in a tree somewhere Okay So it wasn't not retrievable Yeah, you know where it's at The un-loseable miracle point

First time I shot a squirrel with one of these, I like have this vision that it was just gonna like punch it Uh-huh like like knock it out. Mm-hmm, and it just went straight through a perfect hole You know what I started doing this will save everybody some cash. Sorry Zwicky Wing nuts. Oh, yeah Wing nuts. Oh yeah my pops taught me that just around the field point. Yeah around a field point. Yeah. Is everybody ready? If you want to get fancy you can go down a size in your field point and then make the grains back up in your wing nut. There you go. Is everybody ready? Sam? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers I have Sam saying

wingnut without an answer it looks like he drew a flu flu or what would you draw there okay Cal says judo Cory judo chili judo Nate judo Colin and Sarah without an answer the correct answer is judo Point. You feeling alright Randall? Shut up Cory. This is the hardest game I've ever played yet. Now I remember why I don't come in here. Exciting scoreboard update coming up here shortly. Judo points have grabbing hooks that prevent arrows from disappearing under grass or sticking into trees. They are a popular choice among stump shooters and small game hunters because

they're so hard to lose. Other companies make similar broadheads, but Judo is a registered trademark by Zwicky, making them the Kleenex of wired arrow points. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. Sam and Colin. I still believe in you. We've got Sarah with one point Nate and Randall

have two Cal and chili have three and in first place he lost the person perfect game but he's still in the lead it's Cory Calkins what'd you lose on Cory the knot oh yeah everyone wrong not not yeah when I got that according to Orvis I was happy because you got that run wrong so many couldn't get a perfect game.

This next great question is via Al Basha. This brand awkwardly tweeted in 2016, quote, we don't put oil on ducks for ads, we use footage that our partners capture. for ads we use footage that our partners capture. This brand awkwardly tweeted in 2016 we don't put oil on ducks for ads we use footage that our partners capture. Randall doing some erasing. Chili how do you feel about your answer? It's tough. 50-50. Corey is this gonna keep you in the lead?

Yeah I feel pretty confident in this one. This brand awkwardly tweeted in 2016 here's the quote we don't put oil on ducks for ads we use footage that our partners capture. capture Hmm Julie said 50-50 and he's going with the other option. It's everybody ready no Go ahead. Oh, sorry, we'll give you a few seconds. Sorry the bell doesn't lie Okay, Sam's not cheating. That's good thinking. He's not gonna look up. All right, Sam says EPA.

Randall says Dawn. Cal, BP, Corey, and Chili, and Nate say Dawn. Colin says BP. Sarah says Dawn dish soap. The correct answer is Don. The room did pretty well. BP does put oil on ducks. Just not for animals.

Not for animals though. Don struck marketing gold in 1989 when Chevron tested multiple dish soaps on oil covered animals. They found that Don cut grease faster and better than other brands, which elevated them to conservation royalty. They claim that their soap has helped clean over 75,000 animals that have been affected by oil spills in the last 40 years.

What's the word on animal specific shampoos? It's like a bone I gotta pick with my wife since she's not here. I don't wash my dogs. Well, Randall owns, how many dogs do you own? We own three dogs. Three dogs. We don't wash my dogs. Randall, how many dogs do you own? We own three dogs. Three dogs. They look like they need baths. No, they don't.

We have dogs that have an oily enough coat that they don't require bathing. The grime just slides right off. Cal, what kind of shampoo does Snort use? The last time I washed Sn snort it was with tomato sauce Okay, cuz she got into a skunk so on this subject though. I was I was thinking the other day Why is it that kids get the? Shampoo that doesn't sting when it goes in your eyes. I was like why don't they make all shampoo?

Like that they put too much trust in you Randall. I You're not doing it right Why do we why do the kids get the easy stuff question seven the topic is wildlife This pop star shocked Hollywood in 2024 when she married a 49 year old Gator guide from Louisiana We have chili is the only Keeps up on the gossip this pop star shocked Hollywood in 2024 when she married a 49 year old Gator guide from Louisiana Chili do you know this one for certain okay? He's got a little green pop star. Yeah, we're you pop What is possible?

But there's a there was a lot of when They got married the ex-fiance of the guy Came out and started causing a big ruckus, and it was just kind of comical to read on it was pretty funny What else you got? Phil what have you gotten this one right? Oh totally okay, and I was good before I read the follow-up factoid I was gonna tell a little anecdote during this but I'll

This pop star shocked Hollywood in 2024 when she married a 49 year old gator guide from Louisiana. Randall do you have an answer? I do. How do you feel about your answer? I feel okay. Oddly enough I encountered this bit of arcane knowledge very recently and I'm not sure that I can recall the name of the, but she shocked Hollywood. Yeah. Specifically Hollywood. Yes. All right. I would say, I don't want to give too much. I'd say pop pop is a little that's kind of a stretch. 2024, that's this year's musician.

I wrote pop star, which I found others reference Oh, yeah, she's very famous, but but sure Phil would maybe disagree with this I even saw there was I think a Rolling Stones headline that was like is this person a pop star? Which they like then talked about it in there. Well, that's kind of a hint. Okay. What's the other genre that they might fit in? We're not going to say anymore. This maybe pop star shocked Hollywood in 2024 when she married a 49 year old gator guide from Louisiana. I'm off the reservation here. I could be wrong. You could be wrong. The room is struggling to come up with answers. We're going to need some answers here shortly We're gonna flip over the whiteboard

Wait if you're gonna guess pop First one because if it wasn't for Instagram, I wouldn't know that. All right, is everybody ready? I just want to be a good example to our Friends that are competing here and aren't guessing when they don't have a good answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sam saying Carrie Underwood. Randall says Lana Del Rey. Cal says Janet Jackson.

Cory, Sabrina Carpenter. What's so funny Randall? Oh, I'm just chilly. Chilly had all the confidence on this. Lana Del Rey. We have the same answer. Nate says Zendaya. Colin says Taylor Swift.

Sarah says Madonna. The correct answer is Lana Del Rey, Wow. Chili and Randall. Got that one right. Lana Del Rey met her future husband, Jeremy Dufresne in 2019 while taking one of his airboat alligator tours. Dufresne's Instagram shows pictures of him deer hunting,

cat fishing, and crabbing. Steve Rinella is a big fan of Lana Del Rey, and when I texted his wife Katie about the news of her marrying a gator guide, I asked if she'd give me a quote for the podcast. Katie responded saying, I thought that was just a rumor, to which I sent her an article confirming the wedding. Katie said quote. Oh my god Steve is going to be devastated

I mean I legitimately almost feel bad for him her husband is Steve's age someone actually has to make sure he's okay when he hears this Steve and Katie have been married for 16 years Wow so Maybe that's how you encountered it Randall is maybe you heard Steve no no I can picture I can picture a photo of this man mmM Phil is there like a song that we should know Lana Del Rey by video games Yeah, she or her big breakout was a summertime sadness, which was done as like a remix that was all over pop radio I'd say that's the only song of hers. It's been like radio friendly You know kind of you guys really gave it away because I initially had written down Katy Perry and then Phil said I don't really know if

I'd call her a pop star And if Katy Perry isn't a pop star darn it no one is so Thanks for causing that reconsideration. You take this one back Randall will split the winnings and yes shocked Hollywood I think she's a decade younger than him. You know you'd expect someone who's in like an a-list musician to Run around with a similar crowd instead. She wound up with her gator guide got to her got you people Here we go question eight.

Okay, I think you're still left in the game as well. Punching up is fun. It's near... Nope. Now I know him. This waterway, which was originally referred to as Clinton's Ditch, connects the Hudson River and Great Lakes.

Pretty near... You don't have to help anybody, Nate. Yeah, but I won't. Okay. Now, ramekins come in all shapes and sizes, so Show us how big your ramekin was there Nate Well we used this little yeti topper here He's got a yeti It was like this with a... this is a terrible example

Like three of those on top of each other? Like a medium ramekin A little small boy An M&M popcorn sized ramekin Not a creme brulee size Like a medium ramekin. Okay. Yeah. Little small boy. An M&M popcorn sized ramekin. Yeah, exactly. Not a creme brulee size. No. Like a can of dip.

Two of those. This waterway, which was originally referred to as Clinton's Ditch, connects the Hudson River and Great Lakes. Do you have an answer, Cory? I do, and I think it's really funny. It's not right. Oh, okay. I hope everybody gets a good giggle. Okay. I think I know where you're going

Is everybody ready? Sam is it something out of the star report? Not sure go ahead and Saying Perry Randall says Erie Canal. Cal says Erie Canal. Cory says Lewinsky Canal. We have Chilly without an answer. Nate says Erie Canal.

Colin, Delaware River. Sarah, Erie Canal. The correct answer is Erie Canal. That's gonna make it an interesting game. The Erie Canal was proposed in the 1780s and built in the 1810s Political opponents of the canal and its lead supporter New York governor DeWitt Clinton called it Clinton's folly and Clinton's ditch The waterway is popular for shore anglers and is home to largemouth, smallmouth, Pickerel, pike, carp, bluegill,gill rock bass perch crappie and more dang Phil We have one question left to give us final score and opportunity

It's a barn burner Randall Cal chili and Nate now all have five points, okay Cory missed that last question, but he's still in the lead down with Cory Cory gets this one right. Let's do it guys again We have Randall Cal, Chili or Nate Get a correct answer. Give it to me. We just cornered him in a back out Give a dog a bone. Would you question 10? What agency maintains the national instant criminal background check system that's used when buying a gun?

This is the final question. What agency maintains the national instant criminal background check system that's used when buying a gun? Corey, if he gets this one right, we'll secure his first ever victory. Corey, how do you feel about your answer? Like 85%. Okay, 85% certain he's got four players that are right on his heels that could tie it up if they get it right and he gets it wrong.

What agency maintains the National Instant Criminal Background Check System that's used when buying a gun? Last question, right? This is the final question. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sam saying FBI. We have Randall saying FBI. Cal says FBI. Cory says ATF. Chilly ATF. Nate crossed out ATF, wrote down FBI. Colin ATF.

Sarah FFI. The correct answer is the FBI! Meaning we are going to overtime! Play the drop, Phil. There it is. You ain't first, you're last. Shelby won. How they just cut it at if you ain't first, you're last and then like go into other stuff

that's funny. I never liked it. Hey Phil, f*** off man. Now although several state and federal agencies help create the background check system, it's operated by the FBI. After you fill out a 4473 form, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes to complete the background check. According to the FBI, some things that can cause a failed background check include if you've been convicted of a crime that carried a sentence of more than one year, have been

dishonorably discharged from the military, have a restraining order, or have been convicted of domestic violence. We are now into overtime, which will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest between which players remain, Phil? Nate, Randall, Cal, and Corey are all tied up with six points. Whoever is the closest between those four players will be declared the winner. Two potential first time winners. That's right God, that's exciting and Corey someone could remove themselves It is it is it is me the overtime topic is public lands

How many miles is the shortest route between the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park and the north entrance of Joshua Tree National Park? How many miles is the shortest route between the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park and the north entrance of Joshua Tree National Park? Randall, have you been to those two national parks? Have not been to Joshua Tree National Park. Cal, have you been to Joshua Tree? I driven through it. Corey, have you been to Joshua Tree?

I have not. Nate, have you been to Joshua Tree? No. We have an advantage then for Cal. Does everyone know where it is on a map, though? No. Yes. Interesting. How many miles is the shortest ride information between the north entrance of Yellowstone within 500 miles?

And so what I'm doing, Randall, is I'm taking Joshua Tree, the rough estimate of the distance across the park and then stacking those parks on the mental map of the world. Wow. I was just of the world. Wow. I was just stacking them up. Okay. Again, this is a route that you were driving, not the way the crow flies.

Are we stopping in Elko for a Star Burger? Why would you go through Elko? Isn't that the shortest distance? I'd go to Arko for an atomic burger. That dumb, that would be just bizarre. No, it's in Arco, Idaho. Really? America's first atomic city.

America's first atomic city, that's right. They got a charming little main street there in Arco. Great Mexican place too. How many miles? It's the shortest route between the north entrance of Yellowstone and the north entrance of Joshua Tree. I don't know if I've ever been to a gas station anywhere else where they're more proud of their chicken tenders than Arco, Idaho.

You can smell it from a mile outside of town. I didn't say they were good. I'm just saying they're real proud of them. I'm like, oh! Shout out to Arco. I mean, they're chicken tenders, like, how bad can they be? Is everybody ready? This is a quiz of your knowledge of road trips and public lands. Cal?

Everyone has an answer because if somebody happened to get it right on the nose, Meat Eaters get added extra $100 donation to the end of the game. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Sam saying 1,326. We have Chili saying 1,750. Colin says 962. Sarah, 950.

And our four players left. We have Randall saying 1,357, Cal, 1,168, Corey, 1,681, Nate, 469. The correct answer is 974 miles making Cal our winner. He was within what about 100, 200 miles of the correct answer. He's got smaller thumbs so the whole... That trip would take roughly 15 hours and 25 minutes to complete. The route passes through seven states as well as Salt Lake City in Las Vegas. Colin and Sarah were very yeah

We're very dang near. Yeah 974 miles Sarah had it within 24 miles of the correct answer Oh 12. Oh 12. I'm sorry Colin even closer moment today. I didn't get a single one right so Alright Cal, where is the $500 donation from meat eater going to go? Being as we have this like renewed sagebrush rebellion a bunch of folks who hate American freedom trying to steal our public lands I'm gonna Donate backcountry hunters and anglers. Okay, BHA Cal sent in $500 their way via MeatEater. Are there any new developments, any kind of news to talk about with that or just like the general election season of it?

No, it's got nothing to do with the election. It's just, so the state of Utah sued the US government for the unappropriated BLM lands in Utah, about 18 and a half million acres. And then a bunch of States with no dog in this fight, uh, signed on an amicus brief and then all of a sudden, Wyoming, a place that I know people love the hell out of their public lands. And you know, general American freedom. A lot of BLM there. Um, they signed on in the amicus brief and so did Idaho. And yeah, it's just really, really bizarre to me. It's like these folks woke up one day and they're like, you know what?

I hate America. I don't want people to have opportunity. Let's take that away. And we covered this subject. What was it? A few weeks ago on media to radio, did you talk to the BHA CEO and president? Oh, that was, yeah, that was several weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe seen this one coming.
