  Black Buffalo Tobacco Alternative is everything you love about DIP, nothing you don't. I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you've got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car.

• 1:29Steven Rinella?

  They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean and they'll get years and years of use out of a set. Visit weathertech.com for your holiday shopping today. The new Dual Threat Pro SD climber is the ultimate companion for both bow and rifle hunters, thanks to its adjustable dual threat front bar. This innovative feature allows you to tailor the climber based on your preferred hunting method. So you can choose between two climbing modes and two hunting modes.

  Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Max, Alyssa, Riva, Nate, and Corey. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the most common category for question 10. Randall wasn't satisfied that I only looked at our last 10 episodes to get that stat. So today, I present to him a version that looks at our last 30 episodes. During that time, the categories of wildlife, natural history, cooking, and woodsmanship

• 3:06Speaker 02

  combined to be the final question 27% of the time. Conservation was 13% of the time, fishing was 23% of the time, and hunting was 37% of the time. Hunting was the final question four more times than fishing in our last 30 episodes, ending this conspiracy that fishing gets more representation as question 10. Randall?

• 3:29Speaker 03

  Well, you know what they say, perception is reality, Spencer.

• 3:33Speaker 02

  You know what they say, fake news.

• 3:34Speaker 04

  I think that just means we need to direct our hate or our frustration towards Brody for just being too good.

• 3:41Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 3:42Speaker 03

  Oh, I've been saying this on day one.

• 3:43Speaker 05

  It feels like sometimes, yeah, I'll tell you what.

• 3:46Speaker 02

  Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia-related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Matt Lappin says, "What's the weirdest question someone has sent you?" Matt, I would say it's less about like the specifics of what's in the question. It's usually more about how it's delivered or when it's sent. Last night, for example, I got five questions sent during the Super Bowl, which makes me wonder, like, what are you doing that you're not in on this, like, national event of watching the Super Bowl that you're like, "Oh, I'm gonna write an email."

• 4:20Speaker 03

  To you. Maybe they're inspired. Were they all questions about nachos?

• 4:24Speaker 02

  No, no, no. It was totally unrelated. It was, uh, yeah, just like, not on that person's radar, which is cool. I'm glad that we have those listeners. What'd you respond with? Are you watching the Super Bowl right now? No, but I sure thought about it. Yeah, I was like, oh, the first one came down, it was like, oh, another one. And then another one. Five people during the Super Bowl. Another thing is, um, I, I've probably gotten in the history of the Meat Eater trivia inbox, 50 people who have sent me a fax, um, to the inbox. So then what I get is like a piece of paper that someone wrote on, that they then, then they then walked to a fax machine and then sent the fax to the trivia at the meat eater dot com. Uh, that's a really special way. That's amazing.

• 5:05Speaker 02

  To, to send me a question. So that's probably the weirdest question were those 50 folks, uh, who have sent me faxes. We should do a fax only episode one time. I bet you find some commonalities in those questions from the, the people. So there you go. We've already got the branding. Say it again, Randall.

• 5:22Speaker 03

  Just the facts.

• 5:23Speaker 02

  Just the facts.

• 5:24Speaker 03

  If I knew how to do that, I'd do it all the time. It would be so funny.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  Sending a fax?

• 5:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, let's, let's get a fax machine for your office, Randall. We'll just fax each other all day. Uh, so that's, that's the weirdest question. People sending me faxed questions. All right, we have some housekeeping for today. I want to tell you about an upcoming event. This Friday, Valentine's Day, the Meat Eater crew is hosting the grand slam after party at the N W T F convention in Nashville. Me, Cal, Clay and Yanis will be there to celebrate turkeys and at the party, there will be live music and live trivia. The show starts at eight 45 and tickets are on sale now for $40. Come hang with us on the most romantic day of the year and you might just get lucky winning a raffle prize. Go to N W T F dot org for more details.

• 6:14Speaker 02

  Masterfully done.

• 6:15Speaker 05

  Uh, cliffhanger right there.

• 6:17Speaker 02

  All right, the Shelby index for today is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

• 6:28Speaker 02

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win, everything.

• 6:33Speaker 02

  How's that?

• 6:34Speaker 06

  Just tend to win everything.

• 6:42Speaker 06

  Game on, suckers.

• 6:44Speaker 02

  Question one, the topic is conservation, and as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them? Is it Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer?

• 7:03Speaker 02

  Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them? Is it Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer?

• 7:18Speaker 02

  Confident, Randall and Brody, quick to answer.

• 7:22Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 7:23Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 7:27Speaker 02

  Who's calling you, Brody? Is it important?

• 7:29Speaker 05

  Steve.

• 7:30Speaker 02

  Oh, no, not important.

• 7:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, hang up.

• 7:33Speaker 02

  Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them? Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying George Custer. Cory says Annie Oakley. Riva says Annie Oakley. Randall.

• 7:50Speaker 04

  Nate.

• 7:50Speaker 02

  Annie Oakley.

• 7:51Speaker 04

  That was a trick question, dude.

• 7:52Speaker 03

  Nate's a recent transplant.

• 7:53Speaker 02

  Alyssa, Max, and Brody all say Annie Oakley. They got it. The correct answer is Annie Oakley. Tell Nate why he should know that one.

• 8:01Speaker 05

  Cause it's like, we're like, how many miles away?

• 8:04Speaker 02

  Eastern Montana.

• 8:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 8:06Speaker 02

  Probably, what, 200 miles? The Davy Crockett National Forest is in Texas. Mark Twain National Forest is in Missouri. And Custer National Forest is in Montana. Although there's no Annie Oakley National Forest, she does have a museum, festival, TV show, and Broadway musical named after her.

• 8:24Speaker 03

  That's what I was thinking of.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  Phil, do you know what the Broadway musical is?

• 8:28Speaker 04

  Annie Get Your Gun!

• 8:29Speaker 02

  That's right. Are you familiar with it, though?

• 8:31Speaker 04

  Not really, no.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 8:32Speaker 05

  What kind of gun is it, Phil?

• 8:34Speaker 04

  Uh, Winchester model, uh, it's the 30.

• 8:37Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 8:38Speaker 05

  I, I don't, I actually don't know what it is, so I was.

• 8:40Speaker 04

  I don't either.

• 8:41Speaker 02

  Question two, the topic is hunting, and this next great question is via Nathan Noble. This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon.

• 8:55Speaker 02

  This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon.

• 9:05Speaker 02

  Room is not quite as confident on question two.

• 9:13Speaker 05

  Hmm, are we talking about cameras or guns?

• 9:16Speaker 02

  Well, the category is hunting.

• 9:19Speaker 05

  I know, but when you say monopod, I think cameras. Some people hunt with a camera, Spencer.

• 9:25Speaker 02

  This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon.

• 9:33Speaker 02

  I don't see any of our players with an answer quite yet.

• 9:38Speaker 02

  Randall, do you have an answer?

• 9:40Speaker 03

  I can think of a company.

• 9:42Speaker 02

  Brody, do you have this one right?

• 9:43Speaker 05

  I got an answer, but...

• 9:45Speaker 02

  This monopod company is named after-

• 9:48Speaker 05

  I can explain how I got there.

• 9:49Speaker 02

  -North America's smallest falcon.

• 9:55Speaker 05

  Hmm, just trying to go through birds right now.

• 10:00Speaker 02

  For North America's smallest falcon, we may have a zero percenter on question two.

• 10:06Speaker 03

  Well, that's disappointing after your five index. Yeah, jeez.

• 10:11Speaker 02

  How do you feel about your answer, Randall?

• 10:14Speaker 03

  Uh, I don't like it, but I have two guesses.

• 10:21Speaker 03

  And one I know is a company.

• 10:23Speaker 02

  This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon.

• 10:29Speaker 04

  I'm looking up Annie Oakley's guns right now. She had so many guns from all kinds of brands. I'm sure Sig Sauer is also one of them.

• 10:39Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 10:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm not gonna get it.

• 10:44Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying maven. Corey says peregrine.

• 10:52Speaker 02

  Riva says manfioto?

• 10:55Speaker 05

  Manfrotto.

• 10:56Speaker 02

  Manfrotto. Randall says kestrel. Alyssa says red. Max without an answer. Brody says kestrel. The correct answer is kestrel. Brody and Randall got that one right.

• 11:11Speaker 05

  It's on the tip of my tongue.

• 11:12Speaker 02

  The average kestrel is about the size of a mourning dove. Besides being the smallest falcon on the continent, they are also one of the most common and most colorful. The bird goes by many nicknames like the sparrowhawk, killyhawk, grasshopper hawk, and mouser.

• 11:28Speaker 02

  The wind check thing.

• 11:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  Yeah. Explain. You know, the little ballistic wind calculator guy.

• 11:35Speaker 03

  Weather, a weather meter.

• 11:37Speaker 02

  Like Jumpmasters will have them or whatever. Now, Steve was in here recording VO before this show, and he must have said the word kestrel fifty times. Really? So I'm glad nobody was listening too closely. Did you catch on to that, Phil?

• 11:49Speaker 04

  Yes. Spoilers for an upcoming episode of Hunting History.

• 11:52Speaker 02

  What a coincidence. He said kestrel a whole bunch.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 11:55Speaker 02

  Question three. The topping is, the topic is cooking. The Escoffier School of Culinary Arts says this type of knife is ideal for working with small vegetables, and is quote, "basically a mini chef's knife."

• 12:12Speaker 02

  The Escoffier School of Culinary Arts says this type of knife is ideal for working with small vegetables, and is basically a mini chef's knife.

• 12:24Speaker 02

  Our room is very confident on this one. Is everybody ready?

• 12:30Speaker 02

  Oh, we're waiting on Reva. We can give you some time, Reva.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  Give the, the audience some time as well.

• 12:36Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 12:38Speaker 02

  Your other players are, are watching you now, though, Reva. I know, I feel the pressure.

• 12:43Speaker 03

  I'm staring at the board.

• 12:44Speaker 05

  Can't say that I find myself using this type of knife very often. Not one I reach for a lot.

• 12:48Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 12:50Speaker 02

  You know what? I don't either. I don't know. But I like having it.

• 12:52Speaker 03

  Now, now I'm wondering if I have it correct.

• 12:55Speaker 02

  I use mine all the time.

• 12:55Speaker 03

  Or if I'm using the knife that I think I'm using.

• 12:59Speaker 02

  We couldn't find our knives in the move, and I use this exclusively for like, the last three months. Okay. Very familiar.

• 13:06Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, I find this knife to be my sixth finger when I'm in the kitchen.

• 13:12Speaker 02

  Reva, do you give up? I put something down. Okay.

• 13:15Steven Rinella?

  I use a lot of peppers.

• 13:16Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Cory saying paring. Reva says parity. Uh, Randall and Alyssa and Max and Brody saying paring. They got it. The correct answer is paring, and the spelling of that is P-A-R-I-N-G.

• 13:36Speaker 02

  Good thing, good thing belly doesn't count. That's right. They say a paring knife is great for peeling veggies, removing seeds, devening shrimp and trimming meat. Most paring knives have a blade that's less than three and a half inches long, making them ideal for precise cuts.

• 13:53Speaker 03

  So you guys aren't using paring knives?

• 13:54Speaker 05

  No, man, if I need something like that, I just grab the old pocket knife.

• 13:58Speaker 02

  True.

• 13:59Speaker 06

  I use it for everything because I cut myself on knives all the time, so that one.

• 14:04Speaker 03

  Less knife to cut yourself on. Yeah, I'm always cooking in my sweatpants, so I don't have a pocket knife.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  Question for the topic is wildlife, and this next great question is via Philip Weiderhold. What hoofed animal was on American nickels between 1913 and 1938?

• 14:27Speaker 02

  What hoofed animal was on American nickels between 1913 and 1938? Brody and Randall and Nate are all confident in their answer.

• 14:38Speaker 02

  On a nickel. Oh, nevermind. 1913. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? In 1938.

• 14:43Speaker 03

  I'm trying to remember what you call a coin collector. It's a fun word.

• 14:47Speaker 02

  Hmm, I could Google that for you. You think there's a specific name like a rockhound?

• 14:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it's not a rockh- it's like a, it's an ologist.

• 14:55Speaker 02

  Hmm, uh, a numis- a numismatist?

• 15:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Is it?

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, a numismat- a numismatist.

• 15:06Speaker 03

  Numismatist, maybe.

• 15:08Speaker 02

  There you go, uh, maybe.

• 15:09Speaker 03

  It's a funny word, though. That's what I was thinking of. That's why I was making that face.

• 15:13Speaker 02

  What hoofed animal was on American nickels between 1913 and 1938?

• 15:23Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 15:24Speaker 03

  Guess we don't have any numismatists in the house.

• 15:27Speaker 02

  No. Max, you like your answer?

• 15:29Speaker 05

  Uh, let's see.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Let me see if you should like your answer. Yeah, you should like.

• 15:33Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Corey saying bison. Riva says donkey. Randall says buffalo. Alyssa says horse. Max and Brody say buffalo. The correct answer is bison or buffalo.

• 15:49Speaker 05

  Well, you're gonna take one. Are you talking about African buffalo?

• 15:53Speaker 02

  Those coins are referred to as the buffalo nickel. Teddy Roosevelt expressed dissatisfaction with the artistry of American coins in 1904, which launched a new era for the US Mint. The buffalo nickel was considered one of the most beautiful coins, but also one of the most flawed. The nickels wore down three times faster than most coins, with the words five cents regularly rubbing off. The buffalo nickel stopped production after 25 years for that reason.

• 16:21Speaker 05

  What's on it now?

• 16:23Speaker 02

  Thomas Jefferson and...

• 16:25Speaker 03

  Monticello. Or no, the, is it the Jefferson Memorial?

• 16:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm not sure.

• 16:31Speaker 02

  When, when they do a coin, they're obligated to make it for 25 years, and they knew pretty quickly the buffalo nickel was not the forever coin. So as soon as that 25 years was up, they were done with the buffalo nickel.

• 16:43Speaker 03

  Sounds like pennies are done for too now.

• 16:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was a great Super Bowl tweet last night.

• 16:47Speaker 03

  Someone else is dissatisfied with the artistry of American coinage.

• 16:51Speaker 02

  That was, that was a moment where it's like someone writing to the Meat Eater inbox when Donald Trump is tweeting about getting rid of the penny. It's like, I know you're at the game, dude. Yeah. Question five. The topic is fishing. The National Weather Service defines this as, quote, "sustained surface winds of 34 to 47 knots."

• 17:15Speaker 02

  The National Weather Service defines this as sustained surface winds of 34 to 47 knots.

• 17:25Speaker 02

  Brody and Randall and Nate all quick to answer.

• 17:33Speaker 02

  And question five, the topic is fishing.

• 17:36Speaker 05

  What you got there Max? Keep me entertained here.

• 17:39Speaker 02

  Sustained surface winds. Come on. Of thirty-four to forty-seven knots. I thought that was a great answer.

• 17:49Speaker 05

  You got time to change it if you need.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  Brody has seen Max's answer. Stick with your guns, dude. Yeah.

• 17:56Speaker 03

  The seat next to Brody is kind of a risky choice.

• 17:58Speaker 02

  I'll sit next to Brody.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  I know.

• 18:00Speaker 05

  I like it.

• 18:02Speaker 03

  Clearly.

• 18:03Speaker 02

  He doesn't show me his answers though.

• 18:07Speaker 05

  You want to see my answer?

• 18:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:12Speaker 02

  Hmm, did you consider that? No. Oh, okay.

• 18:14Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 18:15Speaker 02

  But I still like my answer. Max and Brody disagree.

• 18:18Speaker 05

  I'm even gonna do a little thing.

• 18:20Speaker 02

  Oh wow, Brody is going back to his whiteboard. The National Weather Service defines this as sustained surface winds of thirty-four to forty-seven knots. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 18:33Speaker 03

  I think so. I think so.

• 18:35Speaker 02

  As the captain in the room. There's a lot of pressure to get this one right.

• 18:41Speaker 03

  An ex-captain.

• 18:42Speaker 02

  Ex-captain.

• 18:43Speaker 03

  I have an expired license, let it be known.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  We'll call you the expired captain.

• 18:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

• 18:50Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 18:53Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying gale force, Corey says hurricane, Riva says headwind, Randall says gale,

• 19:05Speaker 02

  Alyssa says high tide, Max says straight line winds, Brody says gale force. The correct answer is gale, about half of the room. Got that one right. At least I put down something that was like somewhat close.

• 19:19Speaker 03

  Wind related, yeah.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Yeah. Gale winds are between thirty-nine and forty-six miles per hour. Winds that are forty-seven to fifty-four miles per hour are severe gales. Fifty-five to sixty-three miles per hour are storm winds. Sixty-four to seventy-two miles per hour are violent storm winds. And above seventy-two are hurricane winds. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 19:48Speaker 04

  Oh, what do you know? I'll just say it, brilliant Randall. I mean, they've got a perfect game. They're tied up in first place. Uh, nobody behind them has four points, but Nate, Cory and Max have three points. Alyssa has two and Riva has one.

• 20:03Speaker 05

  How many's Max got? Three. Hey, I'm on you. You're doing great. Doing fine. Better than the last one, Phil.

• 20:08Speaker 02

  Doing great.

• 20:09Speaker 03

  Checking on your protege.

• 20:10Speaker 04

  Thanks for directing that at me, Max. Yeah.

• 20:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 20:13Steven Rinella?

  Question six.

• 20:14Speaker 05

  I'd look, I would love, I'd do cheer, I'd just love it if you, if you won.

• 20:19Speaker 02

  Wow. Really warm his heart.

• 20:20Speaker 05

  Hey, we're halfway there. Who knows?

• 20:22Speaker 03

  You were sitting in this seat when you won last time.

• 20:24Speaker 05

  Tears of joy.

• 20:25Speaker 03

  That's why I haven't let you have a back.

• 20:26Speaker 05

  That's fine.

• 20:30Steven Rinella?

  I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean and they'll get years and years of use out of a set.

  I'm holding in my hot little hand here, the first ever folding knife from Montana Knife Company. Dude, this thing is sweet. They like reimagined folding knives. You touch this thing and you know you are holding a quality product. Montana Knife Company founded by Josh Smith, one of the most experienced master bladesmiths in the world. The Montana is the first folder Josh has built at production scale with a team of engineers and machinists who could match what he does on the bench. G10 scales with a 3D milled micro texture. Titanium hardware, a custom deep carry clip with flathead screws set flush.

• 22:34Steven Rinella?

  This is a rock solid clip. It's not the kind of clip that you're going to use a couple of times and it bends and get all loose. The blade goes back into the mill after heat treatment for its most critical surfaces. That's the kind of step nobody else takes. That same standard applies to every part of the Montana. That's the name of the folder, the Montana. From start to finish, the wait is over and I've been waiting a long time to get one of these suckers. MKC launching their first folding knife. It's dropping extremely soon, so make sure you sign up for email and SMS to be the first to know. These are going to sell out quick. Head to MKC.com today. That's MKC.com.

  Question six, the topic is natural history. The Oregon Trail video game made this nine letter disease famous, which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps.

• 23:32Speaker 02

  The Oregon Trail video game made this nine letter disease famous, which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps.

• 23:46Speaker 02

  Phil, would you get this one right?

• 23:48Speaker 04

  Yes, Spencer. Are you surprised?

• 23:50Speaker 02

  How much Oregon Trail did you play in your day?

• 23:52Speaker 04

  You know what? Here's the thing. So, our computers in my elementary school, when we had like library computer time or whatever, when I was seven or eight, we had two games we could play. One was the Oregon Trail.

• 24:02Speaker 02

  Oh, and was the other one Finding Carmen San Diego?

• 24:06Speaker 04

  No, I did play that. I did play that at home, but there was another game called The Incredible Machine. I don't know if anyone played this, but it was basically you could design your own Rube Goldberg machines on like a 2D plane and with all kinds of like little, uh, interactive parts and stuff.

• 24:19Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 24:20Speaker 04

  And that was always more fun to me than the Oregon Trail. So I didn't play a lot of Oregon Trail.

• 24:23Speaker 02

  Okay. Our singular game, I think, was Finding Carmen San Diego. And I would credit that with, uh, what I feel like is an above-average geography knowledge.

• 24:35Speaker 02

  The Oregon Trail video game, which has this, which, excuse me. The Oregon Trail video game made this nine-letter disease famous, which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps.

• 24:49Speaker 02

  Oh, I can't wait to see what this is.

• 24:51Speaker 05

  I'm trying to make something.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  It's an incredible answer on multiple levels.

• 24:55Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 24:55Speaker 05

  I know it's not.

• 24:56Speaker 02

  Oh, and he's erasing it.

• 24:57Speaker 04

  Oh, Max!

• 24:58Speaker 05

  I'll keep it. It's not a big deal.

• 25:01Speaker 02

  Max providing- It shouldn't be a big deal. High entertainment to, uh, Phil and Brody, watching his whiteboard. Is everybody ready?

• 25:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:12Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying dysentery. Cory says listeria. Riva says dysentery. Randall, dysentery. Alyssa, dysentery. Maxwell says-

• 25:27Speaker 05

  Measles!

• 25:29Speaker 02

  Measles.

• 25:29Speaker 04

  Measles!

• 25:30Speaker 02

  With a creative spelling. Brody says dysentery. The correct answer is dysentery. About 10% of those who traveled the real Oregon Trail died, with disease being the biggest killer. Virtual pioneers were all too familiar with other causes of video game death being exhaustion, snake bites, broken bones, drowning, blizzards, and starvation. Randall, did you ever play the Oregon Trail? Oh, I loved it.

• 25:57Speaker 03

  It was a lot of fun. You got 20 shots when you went hunting. Remember that? The little bullet things and the...

• 26:01Speaker 02

  Well, they always, they've like changed the game throughout the areas and so I don't know how long like 20 shells has been.

• 26:08Speaker 03

  And then you could, and then it would, it would just say, "You killed 1,100 pounds of meat. You can only bring 200 with you." So you...

• 26:17Speaker 02

  That's a good wrinkle in the game. Good on them.

• 26:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:20Speaker 02

  Question seven. The topic is conservation. This canal, which was famously blocked by a container ship in 2021, has given passage to over 100 non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea.

• 26:38Speaker 02

  This canal, which was famously blocked by a container ship in 2021, has given passage to over 100 non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea.

• 26:53Speaker 02

  What do you got, Randall?

• 26:54Speaker 03

  Nothing. I mean, I got something, but it's just too far afield to really... Dude. Nevermind.

• 27:02Speaker 02

  What's wrong, Nate?

• 27:04Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 27:04Speaker 02

  Do you have this one right?

• 27:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:06Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah.

• 27:07Speaker 03

  World traveler. Well, that's what I'm saying, dude. I feel like there's so many bones given to Montana residents in this game because we live here.

• 27:13Speaker 05

  Not enough. I also feel like you could word this question differently for like every major canal in the world.

• 27:21Speaker 02

  It's great. Sure. Yeah, that's, that's, uh, that's part of me, Dieter trivia. It's given passage to over 100 non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea. Do you have this one right, Brody?

• 27:34Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 27:35Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 27:36Speaker 05

  I mean, I remember the whole thing. I can pay, I can like see the picture.

• 27:40Speaker 03

  I'm trying to remember the ship's name. Oh, that'd be good. Oh, I do know it.

• 27:44Speaker 02

  Was it the Evergreen?

• 27:45Speaker 03

  Ever Given. That's it.

• 27:47Speaker 02

  Well, you could be right too. It might be.

• 27:48Speaker 03

  I think it had two names. That was confusing.

• 27:55Speaker 05

  Let's go, flip them over before someone gives this away.

• 27:57Speaker 02

  Well, I gotta Google what it was called first. It was the Ever Given. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Suez. Corey without an answer. Reva says Suez. Uh, Randall and Alyssa and Brody say the Suez Canal. You skipped me. Max says Red Sea Canal. Thank you. The correct answer is the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was completed in 1869, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Since then, over 400 non-native marine species have migrated into the Mediterranean via the waterway. Most notable of them is the lionfish, which now has established colonies off the coast of Israel.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  Go ahead and give yourself half a point then.

• 28:46Speaker 02

  Thanks, Brody. Question eight. The topic is wildlife. And this is our listener question of the week, which was won by Maggie Green for sending this great question. Maggie is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to [email protected]. This musician used to host short nature documentaries called Pleasant Earth.

• 29:13Speaker 02

  This is question eight. Topic is wildlife. This musician used to host short nature documentaries called Pleasant Earth.

• 29:23Speaker 02

  Brody, you have this one right?

• 29:24Speaker 05

  I should hope so.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  Okay. Nate and Randall both have answers as well. Max, do you have this one right? I don't know, Brody. Do I?

• 29:33Speaker 05

  Hey, count yourself a winner this time.

• 29:35Speaker 02

  There you go. Max was giving us a review of the halftime show, uh, before we turned on the mics. 1 to 10, Max. How good was the Kendrick Lamar halftime show? I didn't like it. But I liked the beef that was going on, but that's.

• 29:50Speaker 03

  Do you like Kendrick? Do you listen to a lot of Kendrick?

• 29:52Speaker 02

  I, I don't even know if I can tell you one song.

• 29:55Speaker 05

  It probably wasn't true.

• 29:56Speaker 03

  Probably why you didn't like it.

• 29:59Speaker 02

  So 1 to 10, Max? That's a good guess. Uh, I don't know. Gave it a 3. I liked, I liked it how like, it was like a real. Life music video happening the whole entire time. Yeah. I thought the videography was cool. That, that, that is fun. Uh, that's an experience made for us at home, not the people in the stadium. No. That's gotta be a real bore to, uh, watch that happen in front of you. Again, this musician used to host short nature documentaries called Pleasant Earth. But speaking of the Super Bowl, I saw this guy in a commercial a couple of times. Okay, is everybody ready? Go. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Snoop Dogg. Corey says Kendrick Lamar, Viva, and Randall, and Alyssa, and Max, and Brody say Snoop Dogg. They got it.

• 30:45Speaker 02

  The correct answer is Snoop Dogg. Or what's his full name, Randall?

• 30:48Speaker 03

  Calvin Brodus.

• 30:49Speaker 06

  I'm impressed.

• 30:50Speaker 02

  I actually said.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  Snoop.

• 30:54Speaker 02

  I was thinking Clarence was in there somewhere, but I think, I think you're right. I think you're right. Oh, he's right. Snoop would make these unscripted videos for the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Here he is narrating a fight between an otter and crocodile. Oh, this is the best one. While struggling to identify the otter. Take it away, Phil.

• 31:10Speaker 03

  What it do is your boy Big Snoop Dogg. Hey, let's look at another animal. These are, um, beavers. Oh, look like, oh my God, that's a crocodile. That's Wile E. Gator. Look how they stand up on their toes like, hey, cut, we gotta get up out of here, cut, come on. He got him cornered right now. Ah, ah. Oh, whoa, were they going head up, Woody? They ain't scared of me. What is these animals?

• 31:41Speaker 03

  Them the ones that eat snakes, son. Is them mongoose's? Oh, wow. It's about 12 of them, cut. They didn't back the gator up. I ain't never seen the gator get punked by no mongoose's. Retreat, yeah, retreat. Yeah, back up, boy. Get deep, yeah. We them boys. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. We them boys.

• 32:05Speaker 02

  I love that you can hear the wheels spinning. He says, "These things are..." Beavers? Mongoose? Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.

• 32:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, sure thing. In last place, we've got Corey with three points. Coming up next is Riva, and then Max has 4.5 points. He's got a half point. Good job, Max. Thank you. I don't know how that happens.

• 32:28Speaker 03

  It looks bigger than the rest of ours.

• 32:30Speaker 04

  I got 45 points, actually. Alyssa has five, Nate has six, and Brody and Randall still have their perfect game with eight points. Wow, good job, guys. Nate is the only one who can catch up, but let's, you know.

• 32:45Speaker 03

  Let's be real.

• 32:46Speaker 04

  Let's be serious.

• 32:47Speaker 02

  Two questions left.

• 32:48Speaker 04

  Serious room.

• 32:49Speaker 02

  Question nine. The topic is cooking. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine-letter Italian word as, quote, "A first course or appetizer in Italian cuisine."

• 33:05Speaker 02

  Hmm. We've stumped the room with this one. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine-letter Italian word as "A first course or appetizer in Italian cuisine."

• 33:22Speaker 04

  Easy.

• 33:25Speaker 02

  Nate could possibly catch.

• 33:28Speaker 03

  No.

• 33:28Speaker 05

  Oh my god, it's on the tip of my tongue.

• 33:30Speaker 02

  Brody, because Nate is optimistic about his answer.

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Oh, freaking Annie Oakley's gonna haunt my dreams.

• 33:38Speaker 03

  But you missed two.

• 33:40Speaker 04

  But you guys are all gonna miss this, and then I'm gonna get the next one, and we would've tied, and then I would've won overtime.

• 33:45Speaker 02

  There we go. There's still a path.

• 33:50Speaker 05

  It's just not gonna come to me.

• 33:51Speaker 02

  Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine-letter Italian word as "A first course or appetizer in Italian cuisine."

• 34:01Speaker 04

  You are a cooking question monster.

• 34:02Speaker 05

  I guess.

• 34:03Speaker 02

  Corey, do you have this one right?

• 34:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:04Speaker 02

  Okay, Corey and Nate.

• 34:06Speaker 05

  Not that it matters.

• 34:06Speaker 02

  Are optimistic.

• 34:07Speaker 04

  Or we're going down together. I'm trying to make up some word right now.

• 34:13Speaker 03

  Make it Italian.

• 34:14Speaker 05

  Give us a hint Spencer.

• 34:16Speaker 02

  Your hint is that it's a nine-letter Italian word.

• 34:20Speaker 03

  Don't look at mine.

• 34:20Speaker 05

  It's not pizza.

• 34:22Speaker 02

  It's defined as a first course or appetizer. In Italian cuisine.

• 34:27Speaker 03

  I could sing you guys happy birthday in Italian if you wanted.

• 34:30Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 34:30Speaker 02

  Wow. You know what? I would like that someday.

• 34:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, let's do it.

• 34:33Speaker 02

  Well, hold on now.

• 34:34Speaker 03

  After the question.

• 34:35Speaker 02

  Steve's birthday is on Thursday and he's Italian. He's got a vowel at the end of his last name. You could come in and sing him happy birthday. I will be in Salt Lake. Damn.

• 34:47Speaker 03

  Show season.

• 34:48Speaker 05

  Just thought of it Spencer.

• 34:49Speaker 02

  Dang it.

• 34:50Speaker 05

  Dang it.

• 34:51Speaker 03

  No.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Good job Nate.

• 34:54Speaker 03

  I know, I should've just shut my mouth.

• 34:57Speaker 02

  Randall is squirming.

• 34:59Speaker 03

  Yes, he is.

• 35:00Speaker 02

  Randall and I had reservations at an Italian restaurant on Friday night, but because of the snowstorm, I couldn't make it through the pass. But had we gone there, maybe Randall would've gotten this one right.

• 35:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 35:12Speaker 02

  Mother nature though. Alright, TikToks, TikTok.

• 35:15Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 35:16Speaker 02

  A first course or appetizer.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  Oh, come on.

• 35:20Speaker 02

  Oh, nice.

• 35:21Speaker 03

  Did he look at my answer?

• 35:23Speaker 02

  What's your answer Max?

• 35:25Speaker 03

  I had this down.

• 35:27Speaker 02

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Corey saying antipasta. Riva says order. Randall says antipasta. Listen without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody says antipasta. The correct answer is antipasto or antipasti. If you put antipasta, we'll give it to you because it often gets corrupted to that version.

• 35:53Speaker 03

  I just kept thinking of like, when you go, some Italian restaurants have like primo, secundi, and they just enumerate them. And I was just stuck in that headspace. That's where I was at. I needed to get on a different menu. So I appreciate that.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  Oh, shoot.

• 36:09Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 36:10Speaker 02

  Antipasto is the singular version of that word and antipasti is the plural. Antipasto can come in the form of cured meats, sausages, olives, anchovies, sardines, fresh fruit, pickled veggies, mushrooms, shellfish and cheeses. Some examples of antipasto from themeater.com include venison tartare, walleye wings and pickled gizzards.

• 36:33Speaker 03

  I made tartare yesterday.

• 36:36Speaker 02

  Anti-Posto, Max. Yeah, it was very good. Alright, here's a correct answer review so far. One was Annie Oakley, two, Kestrel, three, Pairingknife, four, Bison, five, Gale, six, Dysentery, seven, Suez Canal, eight, Snoop Dogg, nine, Anti-Posto. Going into question 10, we have Randall and Brody tied up with nine correct answers. The topic is hunting, and this question is via Adam Brennan. Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Randall, quick to answer. Brody is now backed into a corner.

• 37:17Speaker 02

  Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Randall, do you have this right with certainty?

• 37:24Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 37:24Speaker 02

  Could you name both?

• 37:25Speaker 05

  Yes, and I will, just to...

• 37:28Speaker 02

  Okay, maybe cross one out, though, and that can be some flavor tax for when I read your answer, but then we know which one you want to make it. Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after.

• 37:45Speaker 02

  Brody, doing a lot of writing. Brody, how's that process going?

• 37:50Speaker 05

  It's going.

• 37:50Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Randall is very optimistic, Brody. He could name both of them if he had to. We're just looking for one, though.

• 38:01Speaker 05

  Are you trying to, like, get in my head or something? Come on.

• 38:04Speaker 02

  Trying to, uh, create some drama for our listeners to enjoy, while the rest of you sit here in silence.

• 38:12Speaker 02

  Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Do you have this one right, Brody?

• 38:17Speaker 05

  We'll find out.

• 38:18Speaker 03

  I was gonna be shocked if you didn't know this.

• 38:20Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  I thought this was gonna be just a wash. Like, good old fishing question, as they say. You know the old saying, "Just another fishing question."

• 38:31Speaker 04

  I've also noticed that Spencer has not chosen a fishing question for the last question for the last couple of games.

• 38:36Speaker 02

  You're right, you made me very self-conscious about it.

• 38:38Speaker 04

  I don't think, yeah.

• 38:39Speaker 02

  It's like some...

• 38:39Speaker 03

  I think that's good for the health of the game.

• 38:42Speaker 02

  That's a flaw, so I better fix that, and now I've overcorrected it.

• 38:46Speaker 03

  It's like the NFL and quarterback rules, you know?

• 38:49Speaker 02

  Is everybody ready?

• 38:50Speaker 04

  No, give me one sec. Not that it matters.

• 38:55Speaker 02

  Nate. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying John, Corey says Brian, Riva says Brigham Young, Randall says Saxton, he crossed out Arthur, Alyssa says Adam, Max says Bishop, Brody says George. Uh oh. The correct answer is Saxton and Arthur or Art. Randall, got that one.

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Randall, way to go Randall.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  Dr. Saxton Pope and Art Young have been called the Fathers of Bow Hunting. They learned archery from a man named Ishi, the last known survivor of the Yanna tribe in California. Ishi taught them how to stock and kill game using obsidian arrow points. Pope and Young was created in 1961, which is a few decades after Saxton and Art died. It's a great factoid. Which one? The Ishi? Yeah, the Ishi one.

• 39:54Speaker 02

  Did you know about Ishi?

• 39:55Speaker 03

  I did. I actually spent, uh, when we were down in Mexico, we spent like a good 20 minutes trying to remember the name Ishi.

• 40:04Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 40:05Speaker 03

  But I did come up with it then too, just like Annie Pasto.

• 40:08Speaker 02

  And here you are now, with a perfect game. I think our first perfect game.

• 40:12Speaker 06

  People might want to pay attention to Bear Grease over the next few months.

• 40:15Speaker 02

  Oh, why is that, Riva?

• 40:17Speaker 06

  Can't say anything else.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  It's a really fascinating story.

• 40:20Speaker 02

  Okay. Randall has the perfect game. I think the first perfect game of 2025. That means Meat Eater is going to double its donation from $500 to $1,000 today. Where is that money going?

• 40:32Speaker 03

  Let's send that money to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.

• 40:36Speaker 02

  TRCP getting $1,000 from Meat Eater and Randall. We've been on an overtime drought again this year. I think we've had zero of them in 2025.

• 40:48Speaker 03

  Well, not complaining, we didn't go to overtime this, this round, so.

• 40:52Speaker 02

  Randall's like, yeah, let's keep it that way. Wins with 10, Brody right behind him with nine. That's it for this week's game of Meat Eater Trivia. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

• 41:04Speaker 03

  Thank you, Spencer.

• 41:07Speaker 07

  Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down.

• 41:20Speaker 07

  He likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks. And he's an avid amateur. Rockhound.

• 41:32Steven Rinella?

  I'll tell you one thing that binds together all of the vehicles in the Rinella fleet at my house. They all have WeatherTech floor liners. When we get a new car, the first thing we do, out with the junky factory carpet mats, in with WeatherTech. They really are the best. They're indestructible. You can pull them out, hose them off. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor of your rig. If you've got WeatherTech, you're going to be covered. I love these things. If you're looking to get a great gift for someone, especially if they're a big time outdoors kind of person, like if you really want to do them a favor, get them some WeatherTech floor liners for their truck or car. They'll have a way easier time keeping their rig nice and clean, and they'll get years and years of use out of

• 42:59Steven Rinella?

  puts your whole group on one live map, so you can look and tell where everyone is. And if at night it gets dark and someone's not back yet, you don't got to guess what happened to them or where they are. You can just look and tell where they are. It has implications for safety, coordination. I can't even list all the ways in which this is helpful. You opt in, and then when you guys are done, the data goes away. It's not stored. Keep the folks in your deer camp on the same page with location sharing from OnX Hunt.
