Ep. 313: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia II

same number of times. You guys have won eighty percent of the times that we have played in But in Brodie's defense, how many times have you played Brodie three two two and he's won twice? Seriously, Seriously, Clay has a similar wins every time he's here. Every time Clay has played once in Clay's won once, I've played once and got last. Yeah, that's understandable. Well, I don't understand why darn stays how Brody wins every time he comes. He's that smart. Are you nervous? Jay? You gotta a

little bit nervous, No idea. Now, we have a special cast in the room. We have Jay Scott, Jason Phelps, and Paul Lewis. Why are they here, Steve? Whatcuse they're playing trivia with us? Well, besides that, this episode's coming out before The other thing is this this is a trick question. No, I just want you to tell folks get him excited for the next well, because we're because we're recording a show in which we discuss um the mythical cous Dear.

I like it, And why did you skip me? You've played before, Garrett, you played the first time we did trivia, also drawn by Garrett Long. In the room. We have Jayscott step and Nella Brody Henderson who wins every time he's here, Paul Lewis, Garrett Long, Philly Engineer, and Jason Phelps. Now this is meat eat Trivia. This is a trivia you're not going to get from Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit Ernie bar Knight trivia. These are born out of meat eaters.

Four verticals here we go, not vertical, hunt, fish, conservation, and wild foods. Yet I will point out that that is not a good way to describe this, because we don't have mountain men and pioneers. But they figure heavily into trivial pursuit. That's they figure heavily into meat eater trivia. Now there is a prize. Meat eater will donate one hundred dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We've played five times so far. Brody's won twice, Steve's

won twice, and Clay newcomb Is won once. Now we have some housekeeping from last time. Last time we played, I asked the room what popular fish has a nickname, the copper belly. The correct answer was bluegill, But Jason Isaacs rode in to let me know that it's also common for offshore anglers on the East Coast to refer to gag groupers as copper bellies. So if you said gag grouper, which nobody in this room did, you would have also gotten that one right. And finally, I made

an egregious mistake on the last episode I did. Did it cost me a win? No, Well, we'll get to that part about twenty folks, wh rode in to let me know of the air. I asked what state has the most game wardens in the country, a statistic I got from game Warden Edu dot Org. I told you, guys, the correct answer was Texas, but that was wrong. The real correct answer was Florida. Paul Wallet, who works for the Division of Law Enforcement for the Florida Fish and

Wildlife Conservation Commission added some clarity this answer. He said that about twenty years ago, Florida voted to combine the Florida Marine Patrol and Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, which came together to form North America's largest conservation law enforcement agency. So they currently have eight hundred and forty eight sworn in members, while Texas only has four eighty. Now,

this doesn't change the results to the game. No one in the room said Florida, and Steve, who won the Game of Trivia, said Missouri. So it wouldn't have altered the outcome. But I feel bad. That's a terrible mistake and a vow to be better. Jak a picture him getting a job as a real game show host. I like it. I like it all right. Now for the game of trivia, play the music, Phil, Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything. How I'm saying, just tend to win everything. Well done, Here we go.

The first question, like every time we play, is multiple choice. The category is fishing. The question is what is the most common lake name in America? Long, Mud, twin or horseshoe. Yeah, we've got all of those around me. Yeah, where I grew up within sixty miles, all four of these existed. Some of them were even, like Long two and Long one, so these are probably very familiar. Again, what is the most common lake name in America? Your options are long, mud, twin,

or horseshoe. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying twin, Steve saying mud, Brody saying twin, Paul saying twin, Garrett saying twin, Phil saying twin, and Jason Phelps saying mud. The correct answer is mud lake. There are eight hundred ninety seven mud lakes, four hundred long lakes, four hundred twin lakes, and three hundred and eighty five horseshoe lakes. As far as the most common creek names go, the top three monikers go

for it clear, dry, No, neither blue. There's three options, so you give me a third guess. We always laugh about clear and dry, Clear and dry, and you say blue, So you got one of those. The most common creek names are mill Creek, Spring Creek, and dry creek. If you want to deep dive into lake nomenclature, I covered the subject on the Mediator dot com last year in an article called America's most common lake names. See how he brings it around to articles? Jay very good? Was

that just Stephen Jason? Who got mud? There? Someone else? Get it? Ye? Justine Jason? Phil what happened to you? Our counter on the wall? Here we are finding a new solution for the television or probably mounted somewhere else. We're in between the monitor. You know, every time we've played, we became a little more advanced with trivia, but now we just took a step back. All I apologize, we are I felt to do better. Spencer, thank you. We are onto question to the topic is biology. This next

great question is via my wife Shelby. If you have a question that you think is right from question online, that's right. You can either over supper like my wife or email me at trivia at the mediator dot com. The question is what is the largest cat that purrs? What is the largest cat that purrs? M dude, I have no idea. We have a stumped room. I think I've seen two people right an answer so far? The largest cat that purrs? I'm just gonna put down my

favorite cat. What's that? Brody? Oh? Did he cover this? That's quite a hint. You just gave them advantage. Yeah, someone who's heard every episode, I have no idea. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying a tiger, Steve saying a jaguire, Jody saying aunt, Paul saying an African lion, Garrett saying a panther, Phil saying jaguire, Jason saying tiger. The correct

answer is mountain lion, which Brody got. I think we would accept panther, right, Yeah, we would accept panther, so we had Brody and Phil get it. Garrett. I'm sorry, garrettead panther. Cat species can be divided into two groups. Cats that per, cats that roar. Generally, it's smaller cats that per like bobcats, links, cheetahs, and mountain lions, and bigger cats that roar like African lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars.

Some scientists speculators that with jaguars, some scientists speculate cats evolved the ability to pur as a way to camouflage the cries of nursing kittens. The perfect game is still intact for Brody, Henders lots unpack. They're in that little that little interstitial like what they've developed the ability to pur to muffle the cries of kittens. Yeah, they're at a similar uh desk. What would be the frequency? There you go, that's right, you got it from Fill the engineer.

We are onto question three. The topic is cooking. What type of fish is the main ingredient in an Alaska sushi roll? Now, this is not a trick question. Sometimes an Alaska sushi roll will have imitate crab meat, which, as we know from playing trivia, is made of Alaskan pollock. That's not what I'm looking for. This is not a trick question. So what is the what type of fish is the main ingredient in an Alaska sushi role? Steve again seems stumped exactly what wakes I don't want to

give it the way. Okay, does everybody have an answer written down? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying cod, Steve saying king salmon. No, no no, no, no, no, no no, not what I said, Just samon. He says cammon, salmon. What are these called? The high level of specificity? Also on his white board, he has a middle finger. Job Brody says salmon, Paul says salmon, Garrett says eel, Phil says salmon, and Jason says salmon. The room did very well.

The correct answer is salmon. The other main ingredients are often some combination of cucumber, avocad o, mayo, was sabi, and rice. The origin of the Alaska role is unknown, but it became populous shortly after the creation of the California role in the nineteen sixties, which has very similar ingredients. People did too well there, so I'm gonna need everyone to raise their hand if they got it right. So ste Brodie, Paul me Js, would you you put down cod. Yeah,

we're on two questions. He's going he's going North Alaska. That's right. I thought you said North Alaska. I've got two and Steve's got two and you got too now I think and scarf two, No, just one one. We're onto. Question for the topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Wyatt Gross. If you have a question you think is right from mediator trivia, you can send it to me at trivia at the meadeater dot com. I got a question, Yeah, uh, tell everybody

about your new tattoo. I got a new it's not that new. I got it in November, but you know, no long sleeves weather right now. I got multiple new tattoos. No, not that one. You're you gonna take a guess at what that is. That is a cattle brand. That is a cattle brand of the original owners of the Lebreya tarpits. No shit, that's where my first date was, really with

my wife. I like it. The other new tattoo that Steve is referring to is aces and eights and then a skull to represent the fifth mystery card, dead man's hand from your home state will shot right there in South Dakota Deadwood. Question for the topic is public lands. Again. This is via Wyatt Gross. Five states west of the Mississippi River don't have a national park named two of them. Five states west of the Mississippi River don't have a national park name two of them. There's a lot of

a lot of thinking going on. I see people thinking about where the Mississippi is, about what's on the left side of there, and then thinking about where national parks are. Give me two of the five states. Phil is laughing. Phil may give us a state on the east side of the Mississippi. Is that? What's funny? Thanks Spencer, appreciate it. I'm just trying to differential. I'm trying to remember what it's considered a monument and what's a park and what's

us Yeah, we are just looking for national parks. I hate Truman Man. Well, last time I was on here, I had so many people calling and be like, ha, ha, you're dumb. Awe of your mom? Was it? No, she doesn't listen to podcast, but my dad was one of them. Does everybody have an answer? You right, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying Oregon and Idaho, Steve saying Nebraska and Idaho, Brodie saying Nebraska and North Dakota,

Paul saying Nebraska and Kansas. S Garrett saying Texts and Oklahoma, philis Idaho and Oregon, and Jason saint Kansas and Oklahoma. The correct answers are Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Now this wasn't all or nothing, and I think we only had one person who got both of them being Oh no, we had two people. We had Jason and Paul. Well done, Jason, Paul, what's the national park in North Dakota. I don't know if Teddy Roosevelt, Yeah, I guess I

couldn't remember where. Now there are twenty states. There are Creators in the Moon in Idaho and Creators of the Moon, a monument or apart I thought was Now in Idaho you technically get a sliver of Yellowstone, which we've talked about, which has of death. Now there are twenty states in total that don't have an aug the Zona death article,

zone of death article. You could read that on the media dot com and it's called bottroom banter colon Yellowstone zone of Death, which we all also talked about on a podcast probably about a year ago. Now there are twenty stets in totally don't have a national park, with most of them being located in the northeast. And as we discussed with the first question of the first ever game of medior Trivia, California leads the country with nine national parks. We are onto question five. We will get

a scoreboard update after this. The topic is deer camp. What popular liquor logo features a stag with a glowing crucifix between its antlers? What popular liquor logo features a stag with a glowing crucifix between its antlers. Do you have to get spelling right here? No, don't give hints. We had some fast answers. We've had some no answers because dere can't spell old crow. He's like some it's like, oh l no he does everybody have an answer? We'll give you a second here, Paul, go ahead and reveal

your answers. And three two one we have j jasab stems. Jay says, no idea, see you saying yeagermeister, Brody saying yeagermeister, Paul without an answer, Garrett saying yeager, yager, and yeager. I just like to ask, has anybody ever been over five? It's probably happened. You'll come around. The correct answer is yeagermeister. Pat dirk And recently covered this in his article in themedia dot com called the post Killed Traditions of North

American hunters. According to Yagermeister, the logo was inspired by Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. Saint Hubert gained this title after seeing an enormous white stag with a glowing cross between its antlers walking through the forest. Hubert took this as a sign from God. Bowed to better himself, quit hunting, and joined the church as a missionary, And since nineteen thirty five, Saint Hubert Stag has been on every bottle of yagers. Aren't you as part of your

little thing? Gonna say what yeager micer means? What does it mean? Hunt Master? Oh? I like it? Didn't she read Phelps's board? No, yeah, Master, Hunter, well done, no bonus points, but I like it. Phil, give us a scoreboard update, all right? In first place we have Jason Phelps with four points? Serious pelts leaps. Is that surprising? Why? Because because here's the thing. Next time, Brody due well

by me, Broody duell. Because we're exposed so much of the same shit as Spencer, Like we email all day about it. Oh this you read that? So it's like we're always like reading the same shit. But you're not in our little loot, like we have a similar loots independently. Curious has no right to be winning. It's rigged in our favorite. It's our favorite because we're in the same

like mental space all the time. Jason is just Jay is hailing from two far like Jays not absorbing any of the like metal, You're doing great I'm really happy for you. Stephen Brody are tied for second with three points, followed by Paul Garrett and myself. Yea, we are halfway through the game. Somewhere along the line. We are now onto question six. The topic is fishing Southern Ontario produces more of this type of phishing bait than anyone else in the world. Oh, I know what that is. Steve

knows what that is. The question is Southern Ontario produces more of this type of phishing bait than anyone else in the world. Again, a few confident answers, and if you know answers so far, Steve is writing a novel over there as well, to go with whatever his answer is. Yeah, this is where you catch up. This is where I catch up. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and

reveal your answers. We have Jay saying salmon eggs, Steve saying Canadian crawlers aka nightcrawlers, Brody saying live minnows, middles Ball saying eggs, Garrett saying suckers, Phil saying power bait exclamation point, and Jason sang sand shrimp. The correct answer is nightcrawlers. It's too easy, It's estimated that my classics compost pile, my compost pile gives Canada run for its money.

It's estimated that about six hundred million nightcrawlers are sold in North America each year, creating a two hundred million dollar industry. Although often marketed as Canadian nightcrawlers, they're actually native to Europe. It's believed the first nightcrawlers arrived here hundreds of years ago in the soils and plants of European settlers. Isn't that wild though, that that worm is work. You can find that worm all over the place, and that's a non native worm. Oh yeah, the honeybee is

a non native bug. I read something about Minnesota once that they have like fifteen types of earthworms or nightcrawlers, and zero of them are native to the state. It's like there's like one native worm, and it's like an aquatic worm you're probably never seen in your life. One thing I like is you go to any boat launch in the world and find a grassy patch and dig down and it's got crawlers. Because people are always dumping their crawlers, and southern Ontario is where most of them

come from. Question, what's up? Question seven. The topic is gear. It's common for archery companies to advertise IBO speed when marketing a new bow. What does I b O stand for? So if you were on like prim Archer's website right now, you would look at one of their bows, the Nexus too, and one of the stats that you would see, like for any new bow, it would say IBO speed. What does IBO stand for? Jay is writing fast? This maybe

j question that we have here, I b oh. A lot of writing going on, a lot of thinking, a lot of wrong. Folks are trying to invent an acronym if they don't know it. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying international bow Hunter with nothing, Steve saying International bow Org.

Brody saying International bow Operation. Oh, initial bow operation, Paul saying international bow Thing, Garrett saying I ian bass owl Ian bass own bass Owl's not right, fill with no answer, Phelps saying International bow Org. The correct answer, which nobody got is the International bow Hunters Organization. Now we had some close but nobody finished with the hunters after bow Oh Man, that's not true. Steve somehow just got the

right answer. The International Bowhaunters organization created this task as a way to standardized speed ratings. The IBO speed is obtained at point blank range by shooting a bow at its max poundage with an arrow that weighs five grains per pound of draw weight. Simply put, the higher the IBO speed, the more powerful the bow. We're onto question eight. After this we will get another scoreboard update from Phil. The topic is cooking. What are the two ingredients in

a ru? Ru is spelled r O u X. What are the two ingredients in a roo? Some quick writing a confident room. Everybody have an answer? I do? I feel like there's three. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying salt and vinegar, Steve saying our butter, Brody saying oil and flour, Paul saying butter and salt, Garrett saying butter and flour, Phil saying flour and oil, and Jason saying flour and water. The correct answer is flour and fat or oil. Now, Steve said butter, I

would give a role with complications. Would I would give that to you? I would give Garrett also said butters like that My base is like because that's why I'm saying there too. There's gonna be like a meat byproduct, right, I think there would be three. The most popular no, because no. The most popular recipre on the meata dot com that uses a rue is Jenny Wheatley's Goose Gumbo.

Now this is a quote because the goose from her recipe, Gumbo's richness in depth can be attributed to dark rue, a chocolate colored oil and flour mixture that gives many Creole dishes their signature flavor. You can find this recipe on our website by simply typing in goose gumbo was wronged Phil Uh. We have a new UH leader, Brody Steven Ronella Oh, and then Brody and Jason are tied for second before so what with three? Steve has five, Steve's five, Brodie and Jason have four, Garrett and myself

have three. We have a question if we need a tiebreaker, which is numerical, the closest who gets it will win. Do you have like any of that would like not go in Steve's favor that you can pull out a like um? But I feel like the ibo. I was pretty disappointed in you, Phelps, because you're like an engineer, your trained as an engineer. You're an avid archer. You are like way into like yeah, but you just stuff

like that, like measuring thing. You just take the acronym for what it is and just know that it was all. Question ninety topic is fishing. Ten states have designated the brook trout as their official state fish name. One of them. Ten states have designated the brook trout as their fisial state fish name. One of them, ten, ten of them. You got a one of them? Five chance again this one. It's a good attitude. Does everybody have an answer? Go

ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying Maine, Steve saying Michigan, Brody saying Pennsylvania, Paul saying Colorado, Garrett saying Idaho, Phil saying Pennsylvania, and Jason saying Colorado. The ten states are Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Yeah, you're not going to name a non native fish your state fish, Phelps, That's not true. They do it with birds. South Dakota, right,

South Dakota is a native bird. They have a nine native bird for state bird. Sorryn's right? Can you raise your hand if you guys got that one? Brook trout is the most popular state fish in America. Only two states don't recognize a state fish, those being Indiana in Ohio. While Indiana hasn't shown much progress on declaring a state fish, Ohio lawmakers have been fighting about the subject for forty years, while downstate lawmakers want it to be the smallmouth bass.

Their upstate piers won't vote for anything except the walleye. Can't they split the state just have like Northern Indiana's state fish. You know they probably could. I think at this point it's just kind of fun because I saw something where there was somebody from the leader of their house or whatever, said, I will kill this bill every time it comes up if it's not a walleye. Question ten,

give us one more scoreboard update. Here in first place with six points we have Stephen Runella, followed closely hot on his heels, Brodie Henderson, and then Jason and myself with four InCred So we have a chance for a tiebreaker. Let's remember that twenty question ten the topic is the last question. Last question is for all the marbles, so I could get it wrong. Brody could get it right, and it goes to Tyro got a tiebreaker. This next

great question comes to us via Joe Sanger. If you have a question you think is right for Mediator Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the mediator dot com. Name either the biggest or the smallest waterfowl in North America. This is going by Waight. Name either the biggest or the smallest waterfowl in North America. Don't give me two answers, just looking for one. You need to pick if you're going for big or small. A lot of pressure. Steve

wrote something but a second, guessing himself. Brody looks confident. Does everybody have an answer? I don't want to go to tiebreaker, man, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Jay saying teel, Steve saying tundra swan, Brody saying swan, Paul saying swan, Garrett saying swan, Phil saying Canada goose big big kind like a huge one, and Jayson, no, I mean bigger than that, and Jason saying a trumpeter swan.

The correct answer the biggest is a trumpeter swan, while the smallest is a green wing teal now I'm not sure how to handle this. You can't take swan because there's too many swans in the world. I was specific and wrong. He was not specific and wrong. To give it to you, I do nothing. I would give give it to him because if you had said teal, I'd have been like, well, you didn't say there's green, blue and cinnamon. You didn't write teal. I know, but green

wing teal, green wing teal is the smallest. But just you can't. I can't get penalized for having more information down. I was wrong, flat out. Brody was wrong. I think we give it. You're talking about for the fun you do. Now what he said, he has a tiebreak, so we're gonna get it. I think to keep this fun bullshit, I'll do it and then I'll accept the results later. You gotta accept here limitations here. Now the tiebreaker, which

we've only done a few times before. I remember Stephen Clay went to a tiebreaker and we had Cal and Brody go to a tiebreaker, So this will be the third time we have gone to a tiebreaker. Although Steve disputes that the tiebreaker is jam Ferguson caught the world record black croppy in twenty eighteen from a small Tennessee pond. It measured just over nineteen inches For the win, I need you to tell me it's wait and I have a picture for you to look at. Closest wins. The

closest will be the winner. I will show it to the whole room. You guys can play along if you want to guess how big this crop he is. But the only answer is that matter. Are Brody and Steve jam Ferguson in Tennessee in twenty eighteen. The crappy again not long arm in that thing either just over nineteen inches? Is it prices right rules or just closes? No, we do not do prices right rules. Closest will be declared the winner. Do you guys have an answer? Yeah, go

ahead and reveal your answers. We have Brody saying four pounds and thirteen ounces and Steve saying four pounds. The winner is by the correct answer was five pounds and seven ounces. Okay, now that's over. We can all agree that Broody should not have gone. You can put an aster. No, I'll concede that was just from you. Two can work together to sign who the hundred dollars ghost to you. How about that? Well, only there's only one thing I'm

gonna except again, Theodore roosebout conservation partners. They will get the one hundred dollars. Now, when this goes down to history, though, I will declare Steve the winner. Sorry, Brodie, I can live with that. Okay, So me and Brody are tied on wounds. No, you have now taken first place. You have three. Brody has to tear our friendship part. We're supposed to fish together on my birthday, depending on the wind speed. Okay, is that salon, Brody? Did we got

a trivia before then? I think we have one next weekend the week after. If I die in a freak ice fishing accident on the on my birthday, huh, they should put a polygraph on Brody. Okay, I like it. When did you last see by? Thank you guys for playing. We got more trivia coming at you soon. Thanks Spencer. That was great man, Thank you. Thank
