  Go and ask any serious whitetail hunter what the best time of the year is to be out in a tree. And it's not a holiday, okay? The best time is not already on your calendar. It's the rut. It's the two or three week window that serious deer hunters plan everything else around. And OnX Hunt's rut calendar does this for you and helps take the guesswork out of your planning. It tracks the different phases of the rut as they move through your area so you know when to book the time off, when to have the whole camp locked in and ready, or conversely, when it's still too early to burn out your best spots. You only get so many rut hunts in your life, so use the rut calendar within OnX Hunt to

• 0:48Steven Rinella?

  make the most of the whitetail rut this fall. Listen, we're all trying to save up for something. I got buddies saving up to buy their new house. I got people eyeing a new boat. I know buddies that are trying to switch out trucks and get an upgrade in their truck, whatever. People are always saving up for stuff. In reality, though, we see that it can be hard to actually save money. But that's what's great about the OnePay app. It makes saving money easy. First, you earn 3% cash back on up to $150 in monthly spending. You choose categories, okay? Like Walmart, gas, or dining, and then get rewarded when you spend in those categories. So you're rewarded for what you're already buying. And with high-yield savings, your money keeps growing.

• 1:33Steven Rinella?

• 1:55Steven Rinella?

  You know those snacks that disappear way faster than you planned? That's Wiley Wallaby licorice for me. I tossed a bag in my truck for a recent trip and before I knew it, it was gone. I ate it, my kids ate it, my wife ate it, we all love it. What sets it apart is the texture. It's authentic Australian style licorice that's soft and chewy, not hard and waxy like most brands. They've got more than 10 flavors to choose from. I love that it's made in the USA by a company that's been doing things the right way for more than 60 years.

  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 Steve, Randall, Nate, Logan, Matt, and Nick Tapia. Nick, this is first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

• 3:03Speaker 04

  First of all, thanks for having me. It's been, it's been a long time. I've been waiting for this invite. Finally got it, but I'm, I'm the senior brand producer. I work really closely with the folks at First Light, FHF, Phelps, DSD, Meat Eater Store, but I've worn a lot of hats here, but working kind of with, with a camera in hand. So that's kind of what I do.

• 3:28Steven Rinella?

  I'll tell you one hat you ain't worn. Trivia champion.

• 3:32Speaker 03

  He has not worn that hat. Let me tell you my favorite thing about Nick. My favorite thing about Nick, he's a Nuggets fan. Nick is the only other Nuggets fan in my life. Whenever I want to talk about the Nuggets, I gotta text Nick about it. So it's, Nick, glad you work here.

• 3:46Speaker 04

  It's, it's on my text. It's my wife and Spencer is a close second. It's bad.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  I'd be a lonely Nuggets fan.

• 3:53Steven Rinella?

  So you guys say, you guys will say stuff like, hey, they won.

• 3:57Speaker 03

  Yes, exactly like that.

• 4:00Speaker 05

  Spencer gets deep into the analytics. It's very nerdy.

• 4:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, I need an outlet and Nick is that outlet for Nuggets chatter. Now, 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 winner's choosing. For the stand of the week, this week, we're updating our donation tracker through the podcast board games, expansion packs, live tour and sponsors. Meat Eater Trivia has now donated $160,000 to more than 20 different conservation organizations. A big thanks to our partners at OnX, Yeti, Athletic Brewing, and of course Meat Eater for making sure that conservation always wins.

• 4:44Speaker 03

  $160,000 to conservation. Here's our infrequently asked questions segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to [email protected] with the subject line IFAQ. Tom Stanford says, is the Shelby index still accurate? I looked into that in the past and it was accurate then. I think it's still probably accurate enough now. More so, one of the most common pieces of feedback I get about the Shelby index is that is what people compete against that week. If they are, if they don't feel like they're strong players, they just want to beat the Shelby index. So that now exists as much for those folks. It gives them a barometer as it does for predicting the outcome of a game.

• 5:26Speaker 05

  Nate's drawing a little blue crab.

• 5:28Steven Rinella?

  Yep.

• 5:29Speaker 03

  And Nate.

• 5:30Steven Rinella?

  He's struggling with the back legs.

• 5:32Speaker 05

  They're tough, man.

• 5:34Speaker 03

  We have another new player in the room this week. It's fancy Nate.

• 5:38Speaker 05

  Ah.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  Nate, for those, for those aren't watching, tell them what you're wearing.

• 5:42Speaker 05

  Ah, shout out to my Korean tailor, Lim. Sending a Christmas card every year. I'm wearing some linen pants, a vest and a tweed jacket and a wool tie.

• 5:52Speaker 03

  Korean tailor.

• 5:54Steven Rinella?

  The Lin back in linen.

• 5:55Speaker 03

  I was gonna say, you, you sort of lost your underdog status when you.

• 5:59Speaker 05

  Told people that you have a tailor. It's not very relatable. Listen dude, the only reason I have a tailor is because labor in Korea is like an eighth of the price as it is in the States.

• 6:10Speaker 03

  You, you do not get a Christmas card from your tailor in Korea.

• 6:14Speaker 05

  I will find it and bring it in.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  Okay, please do that.

• 6:17Speaker 05

  It's one of the greatest.

• 6:17Speaker 03

  And do you?

• 6:18Speaker 05

  Oh, we could hang it in here.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  Do you send your tailor a Christmas card as well?

• 6:21Speaker 05

  I don't because I can't figure out the postal service going back.

• 6:24Speaker 03

  Oh, wow. Okay, one way street that relationship, I guess.

• 6:28Speaker 05

  Well, I did, I do give him money for a jacket, so. Two-way street.

• 6:33Speaker 03

  We have some housekeeping to get to.

• 6:34Speaker 05

  Are you regretting your choice yet? No, no, I've confirmed my choice.

• 6:38Speaker 03

  Nate said he's gonna upgrade his wardrobe every time he wins trivia. Uh, so I don't know where this ends at.

• 6:43Speaker 05

  A monocle?

• 6:44Speaker 03

  He's already elevated to a three-piece suit.

• 6:48Speaker 05

  I need some, some beaver for a top hat. He's gonna look like the Monopoly man?

• 6:52Speaker 03

  We have some housekeeping to get to. In previous episodes, we've talked about the potential thievery by the New York Times and Jeopardy, with clues that were suspiciously similar to those on Meat Eater Trivia. Well, it happened again. On the January 15 episode of the podcast, I had this question, quote, "This Kentucky bourbon fittingly got its name after a distillery executive went on his annual bird hunt in 1940." The answer was Wild Turkey. Then, on the March 18 New York Times crossword, they had a clue that said, quote, "Bourbon brand whose name originated from a hunting expedition." The answer was, of course, Wild Turkey. So, two months later, for the second time, they had a clue that was almost word for word.

• 7:35Speaker 05

  Those mother liquors do that all the time. We'll have, we'll cover subjects on the podcast a bunch, and then they'll, we'll be like, like, Wyoming corner crossers, Wyoming corner crossers, and all of a sudden they'll, all time.

• 7:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:47Speaker 05

  All time.

• 7:48Speaker 03

  Now, here's my offer to you, New York Times.

• 7:49Speaker 05

  I'm gonna prank them.

• 7:50Speaker 03

  Since I know you're listening.

• 7:52Speaker 05

  Talk about something that's not real, and watch them come up with the article.

• 7:56Speaker 03

  I won't sue you for stealing my trivia, and you don't sue us for having a new game called Meat Eater Turtle. It's like Wormo, but better. You can go play it right now at themeateater.com/games.

• 8:09Speaker 05

  It is better.

• 8:10Speaker 03

  It is better, says Nate, a daily Wordle player, and now a weekly Turtle player as well. Now, 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.

• 8:25Speaker 06

  Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.

• 8:39Speaker 07

  Game on, suckers.

• 8:41Speaker 03

  Question one, the topic is wildlife and as always, this will be multiple choice. Which state is the American bullfrog not native to? Is it Oregon, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, or Illinois?

• 8:58Speaker 03

  I did an abbreviation. Decibel meter high on that one. Very quick to answer. Which state is the American bullfrog not native to? Your four choices, Oregon, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Illinois. Steve is confident. Nate, do you have this one right?

• 9:16Speaker 05

  I gotta guess.

• 9:17Speaker 03

  How about you, Randall?

• 9:19Steven Rinella?

  Gotta guess.

• 9:19Speaker 03

  Okay. Steve, the only confident player. Is everybody ready?

• 9:24Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 9:24Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Randall saying Oregon. Nick says Oregon. Matt says New Hampshire. Logan and Nate and Steve say Oregon. They got it. The correct answer is Oregon. Bullfrogs, go for it.

• 9:41Steven Rinella?

  I had a conversation about this today.

• 9:44Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 9:44Steven Rinella?

  But not about that specifically, but bullfrogs.

• 9:46Speaker 03

  Okay. I wrote this trivia question last week, so maybe you're.

• 9:49Steven Rinella?

  I mean, not about like Oregon or anything, but about bullfrogs.

• 9:52Speaker 03

  Bullfrogs are native to 38 states with their native range stretching from central Maine to eastern New Mexico. They are considered a significant invasive species in the western US where they prey on and outcompete native animals. Question two, the topic is conservation. This 11-letter word is defined as the, quote, "practice of growing a single crop species in a given area for a consecutive number of seasons."

• 10:24Speaker 03

  This is question two. The topic is conservation. This 11-letter word is defined as the practice of growing a single crop species in a given area for a consecutive number of seasons. Randall, the only player with an answer. Steve has joined him now.

• 10:42Speaker 05

  Me and Randall are neck and neck.

• 10:44Speaker 03

  Okay, you got this one right.

• 10:45Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 10:47Speaker 03

  It seemed like you had to think about it a little longer.

• 10:49Speaker 05

  No, I didn't.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  Than Randall. No, okay, you were just counting your letters.

• 10:51Speaker 05

  No, I, I.

• 10:52Steven Rinella?

  He wrote slow.

• 10:52Speaker 05

  Not only that, I write the numbers out.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 10:55Speaker 05

  Just to prove it.

• 10:56Speaker 03

  11-letter word.

• 10:58Speaker 05

  Show my word.

• 10:59Speaker 03

  Defined as the practice of growing a single crop species in a given area for a consecutive number of seasons.

• 11:09Speaker 03

  Our other four players are stumped.

• 11:13Speaker 03

  Nate, did you come up with an 11-letter word?

• 11:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:17Speaker 03

  Okay. You don't care for that 11-letter word.

• 11:20Speaker 05

  I can't, you'll see.

• 11:21Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Nate even did his hair today, too.

• 11:23Speaker 05

  Did you find yourself trying to add letters that you didn't know were in there? Yeah, I, I kinda changed the, like, format of the word.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  Uh-huh. 11-letter word.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  Matt, Logan, how you doing? One second, I'm counting. One second, okay. Nick, how about you? Do you have a chance?

• 11:44Speaker 05

  No, I'm way off.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:48Speaker 03

  Logan, do you give up? No, I, I've got it good. I think I've got it. Good, you think you got it?

• 11:53Speaker 05

  Good.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying monoculture. Nick, uh, says, what's that say?

• 12:05Speaker 05

  Hair to Jack's wise. I think, I think that's 11 letters.

• 12:08Speaker 03

  Matt says no idea. Logan says monoculture. Nate says monocropping.

• 12:13Speaker 05

  Cropping.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  Cropping. That's what I had down. And Steve says monoculture. The correct answer is monoculture.

• 12:21Speaker 04

  Hold up. I had monocropping, but I had two Ps in there. I was like, well, it's not.

• 12:25Speaker 03

  Monoculture.

• 12:28Speaker 03

  Monoculture farming has become a more, has become more popular since the advent of low-cost nitrogen fertilizers. However, the practice is largely contrary to the principles of ecology. Monocultures reduce biodiversity, increase a crop's vulnerability to pests and disease, and cause soil degradation. But for farmers, having a monoculture increases efficiency, is easier to manage, and has higher profits.

• 12:55Steven Rinella?

  And you don't gotta wonder what you're gonna plant next year.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  That's right. It's a pretty simple rotation if you're, or not a rotation at all. Question three, the topic is fishing. This next great question is via Rob Frey. This New England state has a rifle hunting season for pike and pickerel. What? This New England state has a rifle hunting season-

• 13:20Steven Rinella?

  Did you know this, Randall?

• 13:21Speaker 03

  For pike and pickerel.

• 13:22Steven Rinella?

  I think so.

• 13:23Speaker 03

  This is question three. Randall and Logan have an answer. Steve does not. I've never even heard of this.

• 13:31Steven Rinella?

  Oh, you know, I have heard of this. Now, think about it.

• 13:33Speaker 05

  I've heard of it in this room.

• 13:35Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 13:36Steven Rinella?

  Trivia?

• 13:37Speaker 03

  There's a hint.

• 13:38Speaker 05

  No.

• 13:39Speaker 03

  No.

• 13:40Speaker 05

  I think we talked about it on a podcast at some point.

• 13:42Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 13:44Speaker 05

  I don't know why I'm helping you.

• 13:46Speaker 03

  Only the host of that podcast is here. Maybe he'd get that right. This New England state has a rifle hunting season for pike and pickerel.

• 13:57Speaker 05

  There was one trivia question where they asked what state something was, and I put New England as a state, and Brody was like, "That's not a state, Logan." So, apparently, my knowledge of New England is poor, so we'll see if the state that I wrote down is actually in New England.

• 14:10Speaker 03

  You were very quick to answer. Did you just not want to think about it too hard?

• 14:14Speaker 05

  No, you know, I based it off of something that I've read on the website.

• 14:17Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 14:18Speaker 05

  I don't know if it's in New England, probably.

• 14:21Speaker 03

  All right. Steve, how do you like your answer?

• 14:24Steven Rinella?

  I'm just trying to think. There's one little place. I don't know if it counts as New England.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Okay. Is everybody ready?

• 14:32Speaker 05

  One sec, one sec.

• 14:33Speaker 03

  Do you know the New England states, Nate? Yeah. Okay.

• 14:38Speaker 05

  He's got a tailor in Korea, of course.

• 14:40Speaker 03

  Of course he knows the states. He has a summer home in one of them. Come on.

• 14:48Speaker 03

  See, I feel like this is where I falter.

• 14:50Speaker 05

  Oh. Randall's gonna pull ahead.

• 14:52Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying New Hampshire. Nick says Maine. Matt says Massachusetts. Logan says New Jersey. Nate crossed out New Hampshire and wrote Vermont. Steve says New Hampshire.

• 15:08Steven Rinella?

  Can I tell you my thinking?

• 15:09Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 15:10Steven Rinella?

  You gotta think of a state. What state could be in New England where they would let you shoot guns at fish?

• 15:15Speaker 05

  The freedom state.

• 15:16Steven Rinella?

  It's not gonna be Massachusetts. That's a great. They won't let you shoot guns at targets, though.

• 15:22Speaker 03

  The correct answer is Vermont.

• 15:24Steven Rinella?

  Let's go!

• 15:26Speaker 03

  Nail!

• 15:26Steven Rinella?

  Transfer success!

• 15:28Speaker 03

  Fancy Nate got that one right.

• 15:30Speaker 05

  Transfer the score you want, not the score you got.

• 15:32Steven Rinella?

  Hell, yeah, brother.

• 15:33Speaker 03

  The Vermont. The Vermont rifle fishing season runs from March to May and allows hunters to shoot pike, pickerel, gar, carp, shad, bofin, suckers, bullhead, and other species labeled as coalfish. The season was killed by lawmakers in 1969, but then revived the following year. For more on this practice, go read Pat Durkin's article on the meat eater.com called America's Strange History of Rifle Hunting for Pike. And you have talked about that on the podcast before briefly, and we do have an article on our website that covers the whole thing.

• 16:08Steven Rinella?

  I was thinking the same thing as you. Live free or die.

• 16:11Speaker 05

  What score? What score you got now?

• 16:12Speaker 03

  Good for Vermont. Question four, the topic is cooking.

• 16:16Steven Rinella?

  Nick, Nick.

• 16:17Speaker 03

  These places gained notoriety in 2020 and are defined as, quote, "A market where fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and sometimes live animals are sold."

• 16:32Speaker 03

  These places gained notoriety in 2020 and are defined as "A market where fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and sometimes live animals are sold." Steve, Nate, Randall, all look confident. Matt, you have this one right as well?

• 16:47Steven Rinella?

  I'm sitting on a joke. I'm sitting on a joke because I don't want to reveal any answers.

• 16:52Speaker 03

  Okay. Steve's got a joke, if that helps you, Logan or Nick. This is question four, and the topic is cooking. These places gained notoriety in 2020 and are defined as "A market where fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and sometimes live animals are sold."

• 17:12Speaker 05

  This is a great question.

• 17:13Speaker 03

  Oh, thank you, Nate. Nick, we're waiting on you.

• 17:16Steven Rinella?

  Would you say the same thing if you didn't know the answer?

• 17:20Speaker 05

  Probably not.

• 17:25Speaker 03

  Logan, how do you feel about your answer? Uh, I'm between two of them, but I feel like the one I wrote down is, seems more reasonable. Okay. But I feel like they've been around for longer than 2020. Well, gained notoriety in 2020.

• 17:39Steven Rinella?

  Cut the chit-chat.

• 17:42Speaker 03

  Waiting on Nugget Superfan Nick.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Do you give up?

• 17:49Speaker 04

  I just have market stuck in my head, because that's where you would buy those things.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  A market where fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and sometimes live animals are sold.

• 17:59Steven Rinella?

  Let's go.

• 18:01Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying wet markets, Nick says farm, Matt says farmer's markets, Logan, farmer's markets, Nate says wet market, Steve says wet market. The correct answer is wet market. While wet markets serve fresh foods, dry markets sell household goods such as fabrics, kitchenware, and electronics. They also play a crucial role in the exotic animal black market. The Wuhan lab that some agencies believe was the source of COVID is located about 10 miles from the wet market where the first cases were detected. Steve, would you like to share your joke?

• 18:44Steven Rinella?

  I hadn't really gotten it all to be worked out, but I was gonna tie it into Nate here going to the tailor in Korea.

• 18:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, Lim also owns a wet market.

• 18:52Steven Rinella?

  You know, I don't know. I hadn't worked it out yet.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  What about your tailor, would you say?

• 18:55Speaker 05

  Yeah, he also owns a wet market.

• 18:57Speaker 03

  Oh, owns like the whole property or like a little booth? Okay. Question five, the topic is hunting. This next great question is via Brad Hankins.

• 19:06Steven Rinella?

  I noticed you said some people think it was lab leak. What do you think?

• 19:10Speaker 03

  Uh, no, I said the Wuhan lab that some agencies believe.

• 19:13Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, what do you think?

• 19:14Speaker 03

  Well, when I read the thing last year, I felt like they polled on eight agencies or something like that. And I think it was kind of split on the answer. And the people who did give an answer, who didn't just like say, I don't know, said low confidence. And so I think it was like split in that.

• 19:31Steven Rinella?

  It's becoming, I think when you look at the scan of agencies that have looked into it, it's coming, I think it has definitely tipped.

• 19:40Speaker 03

  Seems like it has.

• 19:41Steven Rinella?

  It's a lab leak, yeah.

• 19:42Speaker 03

  I think it'll, uh, also-

• 19:43Steven Rinella?

  It used to be naughty to say that. This is over observed, but it was naughty to say that.

• 19:47Speaker 03

  It'll also depend what political parties in the White House, I think, uh, based on what those agencies will say it was.

• 19:54Steven Rinella?

  But doesn't it seem like a bat market would be a good place to get sick?

• 20:00Speaker 03

  Question-

• 20:00Steven Rinella?

  I mean, it's not illogical, right? I got sick at the bat market.

• 20:05Speaker 03

  Well, it is-

• 20:05Steven Rinella?

  I feel like, yeah.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  It could, it could have still come from the lab and then got like-

• 20:09Steven Rinella?

  Jump to the bat market.

• 20:10Speaker 03

  Jump to, uh, there's like, what, raccoon dogs or something like that? Or a bat or a pangolin. Question five, the topic is hunting.

• 20:16Steven Rinella?

  Can I sample the bat, please?

• 20:19Speaker 03

  This next great question is via Brad Hankins. This duck is named after its long pointed tail feathers that make up 25% of a Drake's body length.

• 20:29Steven Rinella?

  Oh my god.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  Steve thinks it's stupid and too easy.

• 20:37Speaker 03

  Nate and Matt and Randall and Steve all appear to be confident.

• 20:42Speaker 05

  If I get this wrong, I'm walking out.

• 20:44Speaker 03

  Okay. You're making our newest player Nick feel bad about himself.

• 20:48Speaker 05

  That's, that's- I'm sorry. That's an unusual thing to happen. Rarely do people walk out of this, just so you know.

• 20:55Steven Rinella?

  After this one, I might.

• 20:57Speaker 03

  This duck is named after its long pointed tail feathers that make up 25% of a Drake's body length.

• 21:08Speaker 05

  And here I was thinking the Drake was a type of duck.

• 21:11Speaker 03

  Hmm. Logan revisited his wife, or did you change your answer? I did.

• 21:16Steven Rinella?

  I heard the chit chat.

• 21:17Speaker 03

  I don't know. No, it was, it was him reading the question again. Oh. No, I, I've never duck hunted, so I don't really know much about ducks. Aspiring duck hunter.

• 21:26Steven Rinella?

  I've never penguin hunted, but I know a penguin.

• 21:29Speaker 03

  You know what?

• 21:30Speaker 04

  I think you spend a lot more time thinking about animals than I do.

• 21:33Speaker 03

  This duck is named after its long pointed tail feathers. That make up 25% of a Drake's body length. Is everybody ready?

• 21:44Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve, or excuse me, we have Randall saying pintail. Everyone says pintail. Everyone got it right. The correct answer is a northern pintail. Now, what did you know about pintails, Nick? You impressed me there.

• 21:59Speaker 04

  I at least gotta get, I at least gotta get that, but I'm curious, Steve, have you read The Endurance? Where those guys go around clubbing?

• 22:07Steven Rinella?

  No.

• 22:08Speaker 04

  Penguins?

• 22:09Steven Rinella?

  I'm aware, but no.

• 22:10Speaker 04

  I would like to, to try that out.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  It's on my to be read list.

• 22:15Speaker 04

  I played a lot of baseball. I'm good, good with the club.

• 22:18Steven Rinella?

  Do you, do you feel drawn to fur seal, you know, that too? Just hitting them on the head?

• 22:25Speaker 03

  The Shackletonian impulse?

• 22:26Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, like a certain tourism, a certain type of tourism, which is all based around a stick harvest.

• 22:32Speaker 03

  Pintails are one of the continent's most widespread ducks, ranging from Alaska to Central America. The pintails with the longest tail feathers are breeding males. Phil has a picture of one to show you their iconic tail feathers.

• 22:45Steven Rinella?

  Hell yeah, Phil.

• 22:46Speaker 03

  There's a pretty pintail.

• 22:49Steven Rinella?

  Now, didn't, you know, I was wondering if it'd maybe throw anybody off is, you know how old squaws were renamed, at least by the, you know, by the ornithological society into, weren't they renamed in a long tail? What's an old squaw now?

• 23:05Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 23:06Steven Rinella?

  Long-tailed duck, I think. Or is that, is that wrong?

• 23:08Speaker 03

  The other part of the question you would have to satisfy is that it makes up 25% of a Drake's body length.

• 23:14Steven Rinella?

  Well, notice I didn't write it down. I'm saying.

• 23:16Speaker 03

  Okay. We're halfway through the game of trivia. Phil, give us a scoreboard update.

• 23:21Speaker 04

  Last place, he got mad. He has, he has one point.

• 23:25Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, the old squaw is now a long-tailed duck.

• 23:28Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 23:29Speaker 04

  Coming up next is Nick, new player Nick with two. Then Logan has three points and tied up in first place with four points apiece are Randall, Steve and new money Nate. I was thinking about Nepo Nate, but I didn't know if his parents had any power generational wealth, so.

• 23:47Steven Rinella?

  Definitely not.

• 23:48Speaker 03

  He's Nate with benefits, no longer the intern.

• 23:52Steven Rinella?

  Flashy.

• 23:55Steven 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

• 24:37Steven Rinella?

  years of use out of a set. Visit weathertech.com for your holiday shopping today. Listen, we're all trying to save up for something. I've got buddies saving up to buy their new house.

• 25:50Steven Rinella?

  I get sent all kinds of products and snacks and the truth is, most of them come and go. Every once in a while, though, I find something I keep reaching for and Wiley Wallaby is one of those things. I first tried it because someone just handed me a bag and said, "This isn't like any other kind of licorice you've had before," and they were right. Wiley Wallaby makes authentic Australian-style licorice that's incredibly soft and chewy. It's not like that weird, tough, waxy, cheap junk you get, and it doesn't have that artificial taste that turns a lot of people away from licorice in the first place. It's one of those products that's hard to explain until you've tasted it yourself. I keep some in my truck, I keep some in my fish shack, I keep some in my camper. They've got more than 10 flavors, and whether you like classic flavors or something a little different, there's probably one you'll end up keeping stocked

• 26:35Steven Rinella?

  around the house. Plus, it's made in the USA by a company that's been committed to quality and hometown values for over six decades. If you haven't tried Wiley Wallaby yet, pick yourself up a bag. Use code MEATEATER at shop.wileywallaby.com for free shipping and you can try it yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

• 27:00Speaker 03

  Question six. The topic is cooking. Paul Ryan, who served as this state's congressman for 20 years, shared his venison meatloaf recipe in the 2017 cookbook, "A Meatloaf in Every Oven."

• 27:17Speaker 05

  What's the question?

• 27:19Speaker 03

  You're looking for the state. Paul Ryan, who served as this state's congressman for 20 years, shared his venison meatloaf recipe in the 2017 cookbook, "A Meatloaf in Every Oven." Randall, very quick to answer. Randall, you have this one right?

• 27:36Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 27:37Speaker 03

  This is question six.

• 27:42Speaker 03

  Paul Ryan, who served as this state's congressman for 20 years, shared his venison meatloaf recipe in the 2017 cookbook, A Meatloaf in Every Oven. I'm jealous we didn't come up with that cookbook idea first. A Meatloaf in Every Oven into a cookbook of just meatloaf recipes.

• 28:04Speaker 03

  Steve, do you have your answer nailed, narrowed down to something?

• 28:07Steven Rinella?

  Well, I got it narrowed down to three states.

• 28:09Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 28:11Speaker 03

  Paul Ryan, who served as this state's congressman for 20 years, shared his venison meatloaf recipe in the 2017 cookbook, A Meatloaf in Every Oven. Nick, you have an answer. Are you confident or are you just guessing?

• 28:22Speaker 04

  Just throwing a dart.

• 28:24Speaker 03

  Just guessing. 1 in 50 chance.

• 28:26Speaker 04

  Little better than that.

• 28:27Speaker 03

  Okay. Nate, do you have something written down?

• 28:31Speaker 05

  Two somethings.

• 28:32Speaker 03

  Gotcha.

• 28:34Speaker 03

  Randall, concerned about Nate. No, he's just, it's a very

• 28:38Speaker 04

  That sweat on your

• 28:38Speaker 03

  non-committal.

• 28:40Speaker 04

  Get nervous?

• 28:41Speaker 03

  No.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  No, and actually I probably need to back off. I've seen some comments to the effect that I give Nate too hard of a time.

• 28:47Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 28:48Speaker 05

  I'd just like you to tell the audience that we actually have a very collegial relationship.

• 28:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, Nate, tell that.

• 28:53Speaker 05

  I'd like to tell the audience to stop being soft.

• 28:57Speaker 03

  Bully Nate into telling people how nice you are, Randall.

• 29:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, do it. Do it now.

• 29:03Speaker 05

  Help.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  Again, we're on question six. We're trying to figure out who Paul Ryan served as a congressman for. Is everybody ready?

• 29:12Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Wisconsin. Nick says Ohio. Matt says Minnesota. Logan, Texas. Nate crossed out Florida and wrote down Texas. Steve says Minnesota. The correct answer is Wisconsin. Randall got that one right.

• 29:33Steven Rinella?

  I had that written down. I wrote down Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota.

• 29:37Speaker 03

  The cookbook also had meatloaf recipes from other politicians such as Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Ryan's was the only one that featured Venison though. He's an avid bow hunter, spending most of his deer hunting time in his home state of Wisconsin and Oklahoma, where his in-laws own a ranch.

• 29:54Speaker 05

  He, uh, when he was interviewed, uh, as a vice presidential candidate as to what his favorite thing to read was, he said, uh, quality deer management.

• 30:03Speaker 03

  Oh, I didn't know that about him. He's also famously got a picture of a bow drawn back in, uh, while he's sitting in his office.

• 30:10Speaker 05

  And he's, he once told an interviewer that his two, the two landmarks that were most core to his identity were his tree stand and, uh, the local Catholic church.

• 30:20Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 30:20Steven Rinella?

  See, I've wanted to have him on the show and now it's not gonna look good. Can you give me the point and make it look like I got it right?

• 30:27Speaker 03

  We will make sure to remind him that Steve didn't know where he was from.

• 30:31Speaker 05

  Saint Vianney Parish, I believe.

• 30:32Steven Rinella?

  I mean, I know, but I just kind of forgot for a minute, you know what I mean?

• 30:35Speaker 03

  You knew three states that he could be from. Question seven.

• 30:37Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, but then I knew it wasn't one of them. I had it down to two.

• 30:40Speaker 03

  The topic is conservation. IWVC stands for blank Wildlife Violator Compact.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  IWVC stands for blank Wildlife Violator Compact, and the topic is conservation.

• 31:02Speaker 03

  This is question seven. Randall has now separated himself from Randall and Steve with three questions to go.

• 31:10Speaker 05

  You made it sound like I dissociated there.

• 31:14Speaker 03

  Four questions to go. Trying to figure out what the I stands for in IWVC.

• 31:24Speaker 03

  Nate, do you have this one right?

• 31:26Speaker 05

  Uh, sixty-five percent.

• 31:29Speaker 03

  Okay, you got a word that starts with an I?

• 31:31Speaker 05

  Yup.

• 31:32Speaker 03

  All right, got a chance. IWVC stands for blank Wildlife Violator Compact. Is everybody ready?

• 31:40Speaker 03

  Go ahead and reveal your answers.

• 31:42Speaker 05

  What's the C stand for? Because what's the I stand for in everything?

• 31:45Speaker 03

  We have Randall saying interstate.

• 31:47Speaker 05

  Well, I think it did go international because they added some Canadian provinces.

• 31:50Speaker 03

  Matt says international. Logan says international. Nate says interstate. Steve says international.

• 31:56Speaker 05

  Because they add some provinces.

• 31:57Speaker 03

  The correct answer is interstate.

• 31:59Speaker 05

  There we go. There we go.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  It's not, it's not international.

• 32:03Steven Rinella?

  I messed my board up. I thought it was because they like, damn, they added, they added some Canadian provinces.

• 32:08Speaker 03

  But they didn't change the name of the thing.

• 32:11Speaker 05

  Like a, like a college kid with some apartment drywall there.

• 32:15Speaker 03

  Multiple states started working on the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact in the 1980s, but it wasn't until 1999 when the database was built. Its purpose is to alert all other states when someone loses hunting and fishing privileges in one state. This often means violators will be treated like violators across the country. Hawaii and Massachusetts were the final states to join the compact in 2022.

• 32:40Speaker 05

  See, I was, when I hosted trivia the other day, I had a question about how many were in there.

• 32:45Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 32:46Speaker 05

  And, and I cut it because it was the status of those two, like they'd passed the legislation empowering the, the fish and game agency, but it.

• 32:56Speaker 03

  So I, I'm, I actually think there may be a correction coming on this in the future because Massachusetts, it was, it was clear that they did join. Hawaii, like you said, it was passed. And then I can't find anything else further saying that it like was actually put into action. So the best I can tell is that Hawaii is part of it, uh, but there is a chance that they're not.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  And I didn't want to get correction emails for my episodes.

• 33:17Speaker 03

  It was in 2021 that they had like, uh, approved to join in 2022.

• 33:20Speaker 05

  Phil, can you tell everybody who I am beating?

• 33:24Speaker 03

  I'd love to, yeah. We're at question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update after this.

• 33:28Speaker 05

  Can we, uh, talk about me and Randall's friendship again?

• 33:32Speaker 03

  The topic is fishing. The Sea of Cortez is more commonly known by this name.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  This is question eight. The topic is fishing. The Sea of Cortez is more commonly known by this name. Randall and Steve are at their whiteboards. Matt is joining them as well.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  Randall looks unsure of himself for the first time in a little while.

• 34:04Speaker 03

  I'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.

• 34:10Speaker 03

  What are you so amused about over there, Logan?

• 34:12Speaker 04

  Oh, I just know so few sea names.

• 34:14Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 34:15Speaker 04

  I wrote down the one that I knew.

• 34:16Speaker 05

  There's only seven of them.

• 34:17Speaker 03

  And he's the only surfer in the room, but he doesn't know his seas.

• 34:21Steven Rinella?

  Man, if I wouldn't have screwed up those two, dude.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:25Speaker 04

  Same here.

• 34:26Steven Rinella?

  If I would have screwed up, you know, 20% of the questions, you know?

• 34:31Speaker 03

  The Sea of Cortez is more commonly known by this name.

• 34:37Speaker 03

  I also like how Steve declared that last question to be dumb, because every time there's an I, it's international.

• 34:42Steven Rinella?

  Well, not every, I mean, you know, well, it should be. Because if I'm not mistaken, uh, I think there's some Canadian provinces.

• 34:50Speaker 03

  If that's not the case, it should be.

• 34:51Speaker 05

  Your reasoning made sense to me, so much so that my heart rate spiked.

• 34:55Steven Rinella?

  I'm sure that it actually maybe isn't that.

• 34:57Speaker 03

  Okay, you do that. Does everyone have an answer?

• 35:01Steven Rinella?

  I'll do it.

• 35:01Speaker 03

  Question Nate. The Sea of Cortez is more commonly known by this name. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Gulf of California. Nick says Baja. Matt says Baha Sea. Logan says Caspian Sea. Nate says Gulf of Mexico. Steve says Baja California. The correct answer is the Gulf of California.

• 35:24Speaker 04

  Oh, damn.

• 35:26Speaker 03

  The Sea of Cortez name.

• 35:26Steven Rinella?

  Dude, Randall's kicking everybody's ass. I'm just rooting for Randall.

• 35:32Speaker 03

  He may have wrapped it up with two questions ago.

• 35:35Steven Rinella?

  Oh, my God.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  The Sea of Cortez name comes from explorer Hernan Cortez, who helped the Spanish claim the area in the 16th century. It's also been called the Vermillion Sea, or the World's Aquarium, a nickname given to it by oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.

• 35:50Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 35:51Speaker 03

  Phil, give us a scoreboard update with two questions left.

• 35:54Speaker 04

  Uh, well, with three, three and one point respectively. Logan, Nick and Matt are out of the running, but they have been defeated handily by Steven Rinella. Who has four points?

• 36:08Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

• 36:11Speaker 04

  And then in second place is Nate with five and in first place with seven is Randall Williams. Nate can still catch up to Randall technically.

• 36:21Steven Rinella?

  Can I, can I, can I team up with Nate just to close her out?

• 36:24Speaker 05

  I don't want to be on your team.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  Question, you didn't dress well enough today. Question nine, the topic is gear and this next great question is via Caleb Stevens.

• 36:32Steven Rinella?

  I'm not coming down here and playing no more.

• 36:36Speaker 03

  These YouTubers set eight Guinness World Records for archery in 2022, including the record for the world's longest archery shot to hit a target.

• 36:49Speaker 03

  This is question nine, the topic is gear. These YouTubers set eight Guinness World Records for archery in 2022, including the record for the world's longest archery shot to hit a target. If Randall gets this one right, he will wrap up the game. Randall, do you have this one right?

• 37:08Steven Rinella?

  I do.

• 37:10Speaker 03

  Nate, do you have this one right?

• 37:11Speaker 05

  Ah, I think.

• 37:13Steven Rinella?

  Yeah, I knew, if you remember, I knew I wouldn't win, remember that? Cause I was saying if it was the morning, I'd win.

• 37:19Speaker 03

  That's right, here he is now, only three answers short of our leader.

• 37:23Steven Rinella?

  That should count as getting one right, knowing that I would win.

• 37:26Speaker 05

  Know thyself.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  Does everyone have an answer? These YouTubers set eight Guinness World Records for archery in 2022, including the record for the world's longest archery shot to hit a target. Logan, you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying dude perfect. Nick says Robin Hood and Little John. Matt says dude perfect. Logan says extreme archery. Nate, dude perfect. Steve, dude perfect. The correct answer is dude perfect. That archery shot was 361 yards. The other archery records dude perfect set include most balloons burst simultaneously by arrows.

• 38:07Steven Rinella?

  But these are, these are things that they beat or that they just made up?

• 38:11Speaker 03

  Well, Guinness was there to recognize them and so I think they were already records that existed that they beat.

• 38:17Steven Rinella?

  Oh, they were.

• 38:17Speaker 03

  Here are the other ones they beat. Farthest distance to hit a target while looking in a mirror. Fastest moving target hit with an arrow. Farthest target hit by bouncing an arrow off water and greatest height to shoot and catch an arrow. They set all those world records. We have one question left and Randall has gotten himself the victory already. We'll finish the game anyway. Question 10, the topic is hunting. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by David Appleton for sending this great question. David is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia@themeat eater.com.

• 38:56Speaker 03

  The topic is hunting. Name two of the five states with the most acres enrolled in the USDA's CRP program.

• 39:08Speaker 03

  Name two of the five states with the most acres enrolled in the USDA's CRP program.

• 39:20Speaker 03

  For the Dude Perfect world record of greatest height to shoot and catch an arrow, I had to go watch that. The arrow was not a traditional arrow. It had a blunt end on it that had just like a giant piece of rubber. So, no one was going to lose any eyes or fingers that day.

• 39:36Speaker 03

  Again, question 10, name two of the five states with the most acres enrolled in the USDA CRP program. Nate, are you ready? Yup. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying Minnesota, Kansas. Nick says Wyoming, Nebraska. Matt says Montana, Wyoming. Logan, Montana, Wyoming. Nate, California, South Dakota. Steve, North Dakota, South Dakota.

• 40:02Steven Rinella?

  Lot of disagreements in this room. No one's got the same answer.

• 40:07Speaker 03

  The five states, I think Matt and Logan do. The five states are Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, Texas, and Kansas. I was close. Did anybody get that?

• 40:20Speaker 04

  Nobody got it.

• 40:20Speaker 03

  Nobody?

• 40:21Steven Rinella?

  Geez, Randall's falter's in there.

• 40:23Speaker 03

  Correct.

• 40:24Steven Rinella?

  I would have traded my board for yours once I saw it.

• 40:27Speaker 03

  As of November twenty twenty four, Colorado leads the country in acres of enrolled CRP with just shy of three million. That's followed by South Dakota at two point six million acres, Nebraska at two point four, Texas at two point two, and Kansas at two. Those five states have forty seven percent of the nation's twenty six million acres that are enrolled in CRP.

• 40:52Steven Rinella?

  If I was a sports writer who covered this trivia game, I'd have a headline like, seemingly, you know, seemingly unbeatable Randall shows cracks.

• 41:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're setting the stage.

• 41:07Speaker 05

  On the zero percenter.

• 41:08Steven Rinella?

  You know what I'm saying?

• 41:09Speaker 03

  You're setting the stage for him to really have a bad spring.

• 41:12Steven Rinella?

  People be like, I don't want to read about Randall winning again, but I'd write that headline and get like, people be like, oh, Randall's showing signs.

• 41:18Speaker 05

  See what happens in the next game.

• 41:19Steven Rinella?

  Randall's cracking.

• 41:20Speaker 03

  Phil, give us one last scoreboard update before Randall makes his donation.

• 41:23Speaker 04

  Oh, God, it's Nick with three points. Logan with three as well. Matt had two. Nate had six. Steve had five. Randall was in first place with eight.

• 41:35Speaker 03

  And in the, in the world of sports, Phil has himself, what's that called?

• 41:40Speaker 05

  Telestrator.

• 41:40Speaker 03

  Telestrator over there.

• 41:42Speaker 04

  I've never used it before. I thought this would be the first.

• 41:43Speaker 03

  Circled Steve's.

• 41:44Speaker 05

  And, and as in most.

• 41:47Steven Rinella?

  It's over and Randall won.

• 41:49Speaker 05

  Most good telestrations that vaguely resembles an anatomy.

• 41:52Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 41:53Speaker 04

  As the winner with eight correct answers, Randall gets to make the five hundred dollar donation from me. Did Randall, where's that money gonna go?

• 42:02Speaker 05

  This one comes to us from Brandon Lur or Luray.

• 42:06Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 42:06Speaker 05

  He would like me to donate to the Back River Restoration Committee, which works on Chesapeake Bay watershed quality issues.

• 42:15Speaker 03

  There's a new one.

• 42:15Speaker 05

  They do fantastic work and he's got a video here that shows some of the work they do. So he noted that I don't give the East Coast enough money.

• 42:24Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 42:25Speaker 05

  And I took that to heart. And so there you go, Brandon.

• 42:28Speaker 03

  Five hundred dollars going where?

  This whole thing that Randall's got going on right now, like, he's like, gives so much money away that like. People are like, Randall, Randall, please.

  Join us next week for more Meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

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

• 43:24Speaker 06

  And he likes taking those two and three year old bucks.

• 43:28Speaker 06

  And he's an amateur rock hound.

• 43:36Steven 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.

  Visit weathertech.com for your holiday shopping today. A BetterHelp ad. I would like to formally request more storage space in my brain. Because somehow I can forget why I opened my laptop where I put my keys, or the name of someone I met 30 seconds ago. But I can remember an awkward conversation from six years ago in extraordinary detail. So if your brain came with a delete button, what would you use it on? Maybe it's that tough breakup you've analyzed from.

• 44:52Speaker 05

  Go and ask any serious whitetail hunter what the best time of the year is to be out in a tree. And it's not a holiday, okay? The best time is not already on your calendar. It's the rut. It's the two or three week window that serious deer hunters plan everything else around. And OnX Hunt's rut calendar does this for you and helps take the guesswork out of your planning. It tracks the different phases of the rut as they move through your area. So you know when to book the time off, when to have the whole camp locked in and ready, or conversely, when it's still too early to burn out your best spots. You only get so many rut hunts in your life.

• 46:07Steven Rinella?

  So use the rut calendar within OnX Hunt to make the most of the whitetail rut this fall.
