Hey American history buffs, hunting history buffs, listen up, we're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men, 1806-1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the Mountain Man era and what ended it.

We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade, which is titled The Long Hunters, 1761-1775. So again, you can buy this wherever audiobooks are sold. Meat Eaters American History, The Mountain Men, 1806-1840 by Steven Rinoa Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing and for the stat of the week this week we're looking at the continuation of the overtime drought

that we're currently in. We haven't had a game go to overtime since December 4 meaning we're on a 15 week overtime drought. The world was very different 15 weeks ago. You think you boys got in you today for an overtime game? Oh, yeah Yeah, I think we could rig it just to have them. Yeah, I was gonna say we can arrange that 15 weeks I'm gonna have to fact check an infrequently asked question just Drop it in there. I'm gonna have to refact check these overtime questions.

They were written so long ago. Who knows what's changed? All right, here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themedia.com with the subject line IFAQ. Landon Tucker says, does the crew listen to episodes they're not on?

Dispenser, listen back to episodes that he is on. What about Phil? No, that's a good question. Well, Phil has to listen to them, right? Yeah, too many times. Yeah, that's right. No one's more familiar than Phil. Yep.

I don't know if I count as the crew, you know? Sure, yeah, Nate. But I'm two behind Randall in the championship right now. Oh, wow. And I'm quite perturbed. That means you're tied with Steve going into episode three. I'm one ahead of Steve. Oh, one ahead of Steve. Wow. you're tied with Steve going on episode three. I'm one ahead of one Wow, yeah, yeah

Three back and I know it's not the same blah blah blah, but dude I'm I'm hot on it right Nate is fixed wait for tomorrow fixing to be the king jabroni this summer and we have the jabroni tournament Does it yanni do you listen episodes you're not here for? Not usually. Okay. Nate, I'm surprised you didn't score yourself, you know, instead of scoring yourself three or two behind me, how many ahead of Seth are you? Oh, dude.

Seth, I'll be honest, I think there's some chicanery going on with Seth being in and me not being in, but I'll rest my case. You can start keeping the stats, Nate. I do wanna meet your stats guy. I always oh there was like a little filter on Apple podcast where I could just filter Yanni episodes or not then I would probably listen to it but to go in and like figure it out I'm like yeah we mean you listen to your own or not listen to no I would not listen to the ones out We're like a hundred way. We're like 160 episodes in I've probably listened to 120 of them. Hmm. It's like watching game film. I wanna

Hey Sorry guys people watching video can see that I'm doing some live troubleshooting here. I've just wrapped it up I'm sorry about that. What was that? No endless void. It was just a feedback. Yeah from We're good now everything's good. I listen back the episodes to prevent things like that. I want it's like watching a game I want to I want to do really good job for you guys So I want to know how it sounds, you know Your first speaking of stats while I was in Germany not employed at this company I sent you an email about keeping stats. Oh, yes, you can find it

Wow, you shouldn't look it up though because it was a terrible attempt. I'm gonna go find that email Nate thirsty, honey What's the sort of biggest piece of like personal feedback that you've taken from listening to 120 episodes that you've changed about your The way you present the show. I don't know that it's like one big thing. It's just like, uh, hearing what a good question is, um, hearing when to like wrap up the banter for taking too much time to answer, not enough time. Um, I think things like that, just finding filler for the show. So when you cut Randall's happy birthday song off, that was like, never go well of data we shouldn't have a full

Happy birthday. I'll let it go Randall sounded good. Yeah, well the first part of the song is easy This one you get to the you climb up to that higher pitch. That's where I fall apart Sometimes I wish you were in the room when Randall's doing his movie reviews because they go on a real No, those are meant to go. That's part of the bit Yeah, I didn't know that there was like a different part in that song Randall's doing his movie reviews because they go on a real line. No, those are meant to go on. That's part of the bit. See, I didn't know that there was like a different part in that song where it goes, birth, birth, birth. All right, we can clear out Randall if you'd like to do the whole thing.

No, no, no, I'd have to start from the beginning. It's in the public domain now, so you can go on for as long as you want. We have some housekeeping to get to. During the meat eater tournament, we had a question about taxonomic ranking. This inspired a few listeners to write in with phrases they've memorized so that they always remember the hierarchy of life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Sean Richardson wrote in, and this is a classic mnemonic, King Philip came over for green soup.

Lainey Miller had a similar rhyme to Sean, King Philip came over for good spaghetti. Logan Fusen, this one is morbid, kids playing cards on freeway get smashed. And then we had Mike Black, this one's really unique, don't kick people's crotches otherwise fights get started and then we had Alex Frost he said he learned this from a teaching assistant in college dear Karen please come over for ganja smoke and then Emily Waller making a

similar request as Alex dear Kevin please come over for great sex so you've got a lot of ways there that you can always remember the taxonomic rankings. I like the kids on the freeway. I'll remember that. People are never gonna forget it again, especially thanks to Alex and Emily. All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. With that we're onto the game of trivia, play the drop Phil. Question 1, the topic is hunting, this will be multiple choice and this first great question is via Randy Hodge. What does the federal tax stamp cost when applying for a suppressor?

Is it $100, $200, $300 or $400? How do you know this? This question weeds out those of us who have paid for our own suppressor Yanni or people who are looking to get one Yanni owns a suppressor, but didn't have to pay for his tax stamp So what did that federal tax stamp cost? $100 $200 $300 $400 Nate would you like to know who wins the meat eater trivia Trivia tournament? No, I want to be surprised tomorrow.

All right. Who do you think is going to win? I mean, it'd be tough to beat Randall. He's up three. Unless you're Nate and you're only two behind. Yeah, but you know, sucks to suck. Didn't make the cut. Sucks to suck. Maybe this year. This is the beginning of your journey, Nate, to qualifying for the 2025 media is that is it based on a year yeah we're gonna go stats for this whole year again question one what does the federal tax stamp cost in applying for a suppressor $100 $200 $300 this is the $400 this is

the fresh new season I've already forgot about last year's champion Does everyone have an answer all champion today or so far here go ahead and reveal your answers We have Nate saying two hundred Tressa two hundred Cade two hundred Randall two hundred Colin one hundred dollars Yann, and Brody say $200. The correct answer is $200. The Suppressor tax stamp was introduced in 1934, and surprisingly, it was also $200 then. Their goal was to discourage people from purchasing them,

which they accomplished by creating a fee that's the equivalent of $4,800 today. So wasn't that also the price of machine guns at the time? Yeah all NFA. It was supposed to be a hundred percent tax. All class four yeah. That $200 tax seems steep but a hundred years ago. Like if you're gonna SBR something at home. I wish that that had happened with the price of Latvian summer high school I remember what it cost because my dad like pattern in my head cost when I was I think it was it was like six weeks For like it was either a thousand or fifteen hundred bucks. Okay, 20 years ago. Uh-huh It's not selling Jennifer the other day. I'm like, yeah, no big deal, you know, and then also I look at the prices

I'm like, yeah, oh god, I'll leave Summer high school got really exchanged. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I just said something wrong and I'd like, yeah, golly. Summer high school got really exchanged. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I just said something wrong and I'd like to correct it. Cause it's going to bother me. Go for it. They're, they're form one and form four, but they're class three NFA items. So for those that would write in, please don't.

They've already sent their email, Randall. It's too late. Question two. He's going to get himself a nomination for head of ATF here. The topic is conservation, and this next great question is via Colby Parrot. This man was the 38th president and America's only president

to work as a national park ranger. The topic is conservation. This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger. Colby, I'm not sure if your last name is Pere or Parrot. Shout out for the good question this week. Randall, do you know this one? I'm working backwards here. Making a list of presidents. He's the only one doing that right now This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger I

Don't see any answers yet on the whiteboards Nate is joining Randall by making a list Looking for the 38th president Phil would you get this one right? Just by using the Randall method you I did not know that this man was a park ranger. All right This is one of those questions that is gonna show my age. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you got a birthday that's in the 2000s, kid. Post-911, man. Damn. This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger. What you got written down there, you honest? What do I, oh you want to see it Do you two agree on your answer no no they have different answers

38th president any means let me see Randall do you have this one right? I think so no it's kind of an interesting Interesting one think about it correctly, but I could not be okay. We'll see Nate. I saw you making a list How do you feel about your answer? It's not good Okay, not great. All right Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Carter.

Tressa says Bush. Cade says Ford. Randall says Nixon. Colin says Teddy Roosevelt. Janis says Hoover. Brody says Carter. The correct answer is Gerald Ford. Cade got that one right! Well done, Kade. Gerald Ford worked at Yellowstone as a park ranger in 1936 at the age of 23. He spent that summer directing traffic, supervising campgrounds, and greeting guests at the Canyon Hotel and Lodge. He said his favorite duty was running the truck that would feed the park's bears

Gerald oh hell yeah Where do you we need to figure out where Kate pulled that from he was the only one to get it right? Okay, tell us about I got an extra president there You know well You gotta we work through him here Trump 47 Trump and Biden to Trump, Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Carter, no, no, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Carter, Nixon. So you made it to 37.

I guess we do that right. Question three. The topic is foraging. Porcini and Pennybun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Yanni quick to answer. Porcini and Pennybun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Never heard the Pennybun one. But you have heard Porcini. Yeah, definitely had some questionable feeling stomach situations after eating some of these. Oh, bubblegut. Okay.

Yeah. Porcini and Pennybun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Randall, how do you feel about your answer this time? Not good. Mushrooms are real weak spot for me. How about you, Nate? No, no. Also bad. Cade with the only perfect game so far. Cade's going to earn himself an invite to the 2025 tournament maybe.

Let's just slow our roll. I'm always rooting for the youngins, dude. We got it tough out here. Porcini and Pennybun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Is everybody ready? Randall? Yes.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Portabella. Tressa says Lion's mane. Cade says truffle. Randall says white. Colin says Portabella. Yannis and Brody say boulette. They got it. The correct answer is boulette. King boulette are one of the most common edible mushrooms in the world. They are also one of the biggest. They grow in grassy forested areas where you'd expect to find chanterelles. The nickname Porcini translates to little pigs in Italian, a moniker given to them by the Romans. Question 4. The topic is gear. This brand which made their first tackle box in 1952

and first bow case in 1995 is named after an Illinois city. This brand which made their first tackle box in 1952 and first bow case in 1995 and first bow case in 1995 is named after an Illinois city. Colin, very quick to answer. Colin, you're from that part of the world, right? Yeah, but I didn't know that there was a city in Illinois. Okay, but you think you know this one. Yeah. This brand, which made their first tackle box in 1952

and first bow case in 1995 is named after an Illinois City. Yandee you got this one right? I've got two answers written down again I'm with Colin and I don't know my Illinois cities that well. Okay Randall do you like your answer? I do. Okay. If you don't though, you could start one for four. Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I'm grappling with that possibility. I'll be as bad as me. I feel pretty good about this one though. Okay. I'm still trying to count. I wrote the numbers down again. I'm trying to figure out how I screwed this up. Did you come to a different answer this time?

No. I will Google the list of presidents. Oh, I think he's got all the presidents. You just can't count. Yeah, that's what I'm struggling with. Here again, we have, uh, 47 Trump, 46 Biden, 45 Trump, 44 Obama, 43 Bush, 42 Clinton, 41 Bush, 40 Reagan, 39 Carter, 38 Ford. Hmm. All right. Did you do that again? All right, here we go.

We'll start from 38. 38 was Ford. 37 was Nixon, if that is messy. 39, Carter. 40, Reagan. 41, Bush. 42, Clinton. 43, Bush. 44, Obama. 45, Trump. 46, Biden. 47, Trump. See, here's what I've done this time. Okay. I have two lines going to Clinton. So I counted Clinton twice.

Because of this corner in my list, I've really made a grave error here just in how I laid out my table. But you feel good about your answer for the brand that made their first tackle box in 1952 and first bow case in 1995. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Pelican, Tressa, Orvis, Cade, Plano, Randall, Plano, Colin, Plano, Janis, Plano crossed out Flambeau, Brody crossed out Plano and put Flambeau.

The correct answer. Is Plano and put Flambeau. The correct answer is Plano. Damn it! About half of our players got that one right. Plano makes tackle boxes, bow cases, gun cases, storage trunks, ammo cases, and coolers. They created the world's best-selling tackle box after making a model with collapsible trays in the 1950s. Both of their original factories are still in operation. Flambeau is in Wisconsin and that's named after the Wisconsin River, the Flambeau River. So what was throwing me off is all I could think of was Plano, Texas. Yeah, that would that would confuse you. Plano, Illinois is just outside of Chicago and it was a set location for Man of Steel.

Can you picture that, Phil? Have you seen Man of Steel? Unfortunately, yes. Was that a bad one? It's a pretty bad one. So when Kevin Costner gets voluntarily sucked up into a tornado, it's very funny. Voluntarily?

Voluntarily. That's like to save the planet or what? Well, Superman has to make a choice, Spencer, to reveal his powers and save his adopted father, adopt father, or let him get sucked into a tornado. And Kevin Costner puts his hand up. It says, no, son, I will get sucked into this. In Plano, Illinois, he pulled that off.

Question five. The topic is fishing. Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell are the biggest lakes in this state. A tough round for our players to start the 2025 regular season. Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell are the biggest lakes in this state. Randall, very quick to answer. answer Randall do you know this one? Do I know any of these answers Spencer? I've lost all confidence. Okay these mushrooms these poorly drawn out

presidential tables. I Think Phil's recounting of that plot twisted man of steel is probably the highlight of this game for me so far, so Me too. Yanni, do you have this one right? I've got a good Okay, good guess the biggest lakes in this state are Blake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie, and Lake Hartwell.

I had a lot of good adventures walking around my neighborhood and Latvian summer camp with a little, little Plano tackle box and one shelf in it. I think you can picture exactly tackle box that you're talking about with the foldable trays that really changed things in the 50s form. Does everybody have an answer? I think everybody went through the stage where if you sort of neglected it for a little bit and you came back and half The shit in there would be like melted somehow And you kind of had to decide if you could just tackle box like a little water

You got in there and it gets rusty you left a little styrofoam cup of night crawlers in there Oh, yeah, and then put it away rusty. You left a little styrofoam cup of Nightcrawlers in there. Oh yeah. And then put it away in the garage for a few months. Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie, and Lake Hartwell. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Alabama.

Tressa says Kansas. Cade, Minnesota. Randall, South Carolina. Colin, Alabama, Yannis, Alabama, Brody, Georgia. We have a correct answer. It's South Carolina! D'oh! Randall, you got that one right. Have you been to those lakes? No, just on Strom Thurmond.

Yeah, that's what I did. At 110,000 acres, Lake Marion is the 35th biggest lake in America. It reaches across five counties, giving it the nickname of South Carolina's inland sea. Lake Strom Thurmond is the country's 48th biggest lake, Lake Moultrie is 55th, and Lake Murray is 68th. In that Lake Strom Thurmond, it has two different names. The federal name is Lake Stromthorne, but then it's on the border of Georgia, South Carolina, Georgia calls it Clarks Hill Lake, I believe.

I think what was Stromthorne, was he a controversial politician? Yes. And, uh, yeah, the federal level though, recognizes it as that name. That we're halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. I don't even know what it's going to say.

Oh, wow. Here we are. Everyone's on the board, but Nate, Tressa and Colin all have one point. Brody Henderson has two and we have a three way tie. In first place are Randall, Yanis and our post 9-11 baby K. Three points, completely skirting the Steve Rinella theory that the older you are, the better you do. I can smell over time coming.

What was the Shelby index on this one? Oh, ho, ho. Phil, can we clip that sound effect? If you've hung around with a lot of old turkey hunters, you have no doubt encountered those little plaques where you take a turkey's leg and foot and bend its fingers and dry its finger. So the turkey's giving you the bird. And it's funny cause it's like the bird, but he's giving you the bird. Well, check this out. We just made a turkey call called the bird and the artwork is a

turkey's foot giving you the bird. Not only does it look great, it sounds great. This is a call that idiots can make good turkey sounds on. It's got a machined, polished, and engraved acrylic pot. It's got an anodized and laser engraved tone board and a crystal playing surface, but the artwork is under the crystal.

So when you're scratching your little prep spot, and there's a perfect place for a little prep spot without ruining the artwork, when you're scratching your surface, you're not scratching off the artwork. It's got a diamond wood peg with an acrylic topped striker. Again, this is like, it's just a very easy to use pot call.

You'll sit down, you'll scratch a little spot. You're going to make great turkey sounds. Trust me. Find your new turkey pot call in a full assortment of meat eater and Phelps turkey calls at PhelpsGameCalls.com Question 6. The topic is cooking. The New York Times recipe for this condiment combines ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The New York Times recipe for this condiment combines ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice,

hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Randall and Yanni quick to answer. You boys optimistic about your answer? I feel pretty good. Colin, you got this one right? Yeah, I feel okay. Not that confident, but I had some strong horseradish this weekend. Mmm. What was the occasion hot dogs the the Montana? Wild sheep foundation banquet got a big slab of prime rib and there was creamy horseradish, and then there was just the straight The straight stuff okay, I saw a picture of you there.

Sure Nate go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying A1

Tressa says a-ole Kate says a fry sauce Randall says cocktail sauce Colin says fry sauce Yanni says cocktail sauce. Brody says steak sauce. The correct answer is cocktail sauce. About half of our players. I just buy that stuff in a jar. Cocktail sauce got its name because of how it was served in cocktail glasses during Prohibition. The condiment gained popularity once railroad transportation started moving shrimp across the continent besides shrimp cocktail sauces sometimes served with oysters, crab, mushrooms, and veggies.

Question 7. The topic is conservation and this next great question is via Ethan Zahnbrecher. This oil tycoon has a wildlife refuge in Louisiana named after him, as well as a skyscraper in New York City. This oil tycoon has a wildlife refuge in Louisiana named after him, as well as a skyscraper in New York City. Nate the quickest to answer. Nate, you got this one right? Yep. Brody, do you

The 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York is formally known as the Comcast building and it's home to NBC studios. I'd like to call for a formal vote of censure against Nate. What? Why is that?
