Ep. 355: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia XIX

what kind of trivia do you can see? I've only played those ones that are sitting on the table. Are you know this? This is unique? I think you got a better chance here. And Logan, I don't believe you've been on the show before. So tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater. Yeah, so I work on the digital product team and then help manage the website operations for stuff that comes on the website and just

developing features around that. We asked Byron you're that same question, and uh, we still didn't know what he did after he answered. Now, if you're not familiar, this is a ten round quiz show with questions from Meat eaters four verticals which you're hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meat eater will donate five dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing and for the stat of the week. This week we're specifically looking at

guest performance. This is data compiled by taking every guest score from Cam Haynes to Jim Heffelfinger to Michael Waddell and everyone in between. Our best performing guests have been Tucker Carlson, Brent West, Dustin Huff and Andrew Zimmern, who each got five correct answers and on average of one with five he won with five, he went to overtime and then he won it that way tough round, and on average our guests get three point four seven correct answers.

So that's what you're going for today, Chris, is to beat three point four seven. Our best categories cooking where they get of answers correct, which is about the equivalent of Seth who gets forty one percent of cooking questions right, and their worst categories hunting, where they get twenty eight percent of answers correct, which is about the equivalent to Karin who gets of hunting questions. Right, that's kind of a savage staff. So our guests do best in cooking

and worst in hunting. Now, in a previous game of trivia, I asked the room what animal lays the biggest egg. The correct answer was ostrich, but a handful of folks wrote in to say that whale sharks actually produce eggs that are twice the size as ostrich eggs. Yeah, but here's the catch. Whale sharks don't lay eggs like bass or can't fish or trout. Instead, whale shark eggs hatch inside the mother's body, which makes them ovova viporous, so

they've never actually laid an egg. Now, if the question was what animal produces the largest egg, the answer would be whale shark, But since the question was what animal lays the largest egg, the answer was ostrich. Like that, this is why the time, Yeah, I like that clarifications. Also, in a previous game of trivia, is Steve declared himself the silent Killer, but a listener wrote in and said that instead of the silent Killer, it should be the

silence killer because he never shots. We should create a silence surnamed like the st Yeah. There we go. So it's not the silent killer anymore. It's the silence killer. And with that we're on the trivia play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I stay under wind? Everything just tend to win everything, suckers. Question one, this will be multiple choice in the topic is woodsmanship. What outdoor activity accounts for the most lightning strike victims? Is it fishing, hiking, camping,

or horseback riding? Again? What outdoor activity accounts for the most lightning strike victims? Your choices are fishing, hiking, camping, or horseback riding. Some quick confident answers in the room from who I saw you right pretty quickly, that I saw to my right here people riding pretty quickly. So mostly now Again, your choices are fishing, hiking, camping, or horse back riding. For which outdoor activity accounts for the

most lightning strike victims? Yeah, I don't want to break the silence here, but please yeah no just in general, but no, no, no no, the style style? Can we get new white boards? You think we had the budget for that? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying camping, Chris saying fishing, Logan saying hiking, Brody saying fishing, Sean saying camping, Gabby saying camping, and

Karin saying fishing. The correct answer is fishing, damnit. According to data from the National Lightning Safety Council, anglers are the highest risk group for lightning strikes. Of lightning strike victims doing a leisure activity about fifteen percent, or fishing eight percent, or hamping four percent, or hiking and two percent. Read the question again, what outdoor activity accounts for the most lightning strike victims? Okay? I think you just screwed

up for real this time. You're answering it as you're answering it as percentages. You're not answering it as total incidents. You didn't ask percent you didn't say the same. No, No, it is not it is not way different. No, it's like you. We had a thousand questions totally with Steve on this, what outdoor activity accounts for the most lightning strike victims? It would be like we had a cent No, you are just wrong, Okay, you are is the number

one that's the top percent. It would be total number because if there's ten if there's ten million campers and only fisherman. Percent of what outdoor activity accounts for the most lightning strike victims, it would be fishermen. No, you need to go total incidents. You did not give it at race. You'd given it at race, I would absolutely upset fishing. I promise you this is correct, because it's like like if they took a thousand him, he's a scientist.

Let's let's talk this out. Let's talk this out. If they they had a thousand lightning strike victims and fifteen percent of them were fishermen, then they were the most struck group by lightning. No, tell me that outdoor actively the asterisk here because listen to me, how many sixty seconds to argue this, How many victims does camping produce?

How many victims is fishing produced? It does not matter about rate of incident among user groups, how many raw And no I'm not I'm not saying among user group. I'm saying of lightning strike victims. Fifteen percent of lightning strike victims are fishermen. And then you have eight percent of lightning strike victims are campers, four percent and two percent are horseback ride out there. It's not of anglers are struck by lightning it's fiftent of people that are

struck by lightning are Anglish. Question to the topic is conservation and this is our listener question of the Week, which was won by George Edson for sending this great question. George is going to get a meat Eater spice kit and a meat Eater hats signed by Steve. If you want a chance to win the Listener Question of the Week, send your question to Trivia at the meat eater dot com.

Name the state with either the most or least bald eagles so you can name one of two states here looking for the state with either the most bald eagles or the state with the least bald eagles. Very quick answers in the room. Again, name the state with either the most or least bald eagles. Chris, you think you know this one. I'm not confident. It's just like the little bone you throw people. This is the one. This is the bone. You're throwing me a bone. Ten of

them each week, every Mountain question that comes along. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Alaska, Chris sang Alaska, Logan saying Florida, Brody saying Alaska style Alaska, Gabby saying Hawaii saying Florida. He stayed with the most bald eagles is Alaska, and he stayed with the least bald eagles is Hawaii. There are thirty thousand bald eagles in Alaska, while there are none in Hawaii. After Alaska, these states with the most

bald eagles are Wisconsin, Florida, and Virginia. They got any big raptors in in Hawaii run questions, but I'm aware of I should always qualify it that because anytime I'm dubbed as an ex bert, I was just like, no, not really, I have experts on our team though. Question three the topic is cooking. That's Steve's motto as well. He's not an expert, but he hires experts like me.

The job question through the topic is cooking. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources rebranded this fish as copy in an effort to get more people to eat them. Looking for what the fish used to be known as, and I'm going to ask you to be specific. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources rebranded this fish as copy in an effort to get more people to eat them. Copy it is c o P. I very quick answer from Brody. I think it's two for two. I just read this

article the other days hinting it. You know how they call uh, they like to call chum salmon key to salmon, now like that kind of thing. How do you spell keta? The names on the hour and just it's like it's like Corinthians on Corintha's keta and so whole or dog salmon. The whole food sells it as key to salmon because no one wants to buy dog salmon. Does everybody have an answer for what a copy is? Go ahead and

reveal your answers. We have Steve saying silver carp, Chris saying carp, Logan saying carp, Brody saying silver carp, Sean without an answer, Gabby saying snakehead, and Karin saying snakehead. The correct answers, which there are multiple love, would be asian carp, silver carp, bighead, carp, black carp, or grass carp. I am not going to accept carpet for just writing down It's sure, isn't the common carp. That's why Logan the room did fairly well. Question for the topic is conservation.

This next great question comes to us from Mary Kordsmeyer. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater trivia, you can send it to of you at the meat eater dot com. The Devil's whole pup fish, which is considered one of the rarest fish in the world, is only found in one national park. What is it? The Devil's whole fish, which is considered to be one of the rarest fish in the world, is only found

in one national park. What is it? I might be wrong, though, I gotta think I need about Tim mass a quick answer from Brody, but now questioning because I think it might be another one. But we are looking for the national park where the Devil's whole pup fish lives, son of mother's scratcher. Does everybody have an answer for that? Cal call Stephen, I let you cheat. You know this one? Chris, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. That's pretty good. Oh, you got in your mouth. That's why go ahead and

reveal your answers. We got Steve saying Zion, Chris saying death, Valley Logan sang everyglade, Brody's saying death, Valley Sean saying Yellowstone, Gabby saying the one in Alaska and Karin saying Grand Canyon. We have a correct answer in the room and it is Death Valley. Damn it. Well, kicking my an, I think they didn't they nail someone from message recently? Party in there? Well and your emphasis? What what led me?

Is your emphasis? The devil's pup fish? Well, where would the devil but the Devil's whole punk fish was discovered in the nineteen thirties, which caused biologists to campaign for their protection. It was granted in nineteen fifty two when the Devil's Whole Cavern became part of the Death Valley National Park, as there were one hundred and seventy five Devil's Whole pup fish, which is their highest population in twenty years. You don't when a sports team starts doing

real good, everybody in that town starts liking that sports team. Bandwagon. Yeah, fair Weather fans, I need to get to the spar root for Brody. You'd be a Brody fair Weather fan. I root for you. I believe it, but I don't wrong. Question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is fishing. What is the more common name for did emo A highly invasive species that's often spread by anglers. What is the more common name for did emo?

A highly invasive species it's often spread by anglers. Again, we have a confident Brody. Almost all of the questions you've read so far, Brody has had an answer on his board before you finished reading this last one. I got a lot of personal experience with another heavy hint. Well, yeah it is. He feels bad. He feels bad for the room, doesn't want to run away with it. Again, looking for the more common name for did imo that is spelled d I d y m O. Everybody have

an answer, Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying rocks, not Chris saying zeper muscles, Logan saying muscles, Brodie saying rocks, not Sean saying zebra muscles, Gabby saying muscles, and Karin saying green muscles. The correct answer is rocks not. What I was so worried about is you're gonna want a better name than that. I mean, if KRP doesn't qualify and rocks not does, I'm gonna I'm gonna what

is rock? Not so so did Imo is like a shortened version I think of its line in name um and then rocks not is what it's more commonly for you if you were like see a sign like stop the spread of rocks not. Didimo is native departs of Europe, Asia and North America, but because it's now so widespread, it's difficult for biologists to actually determine where it belongs and where it doesn't. Some negatives of did emo is that it can alter spawning habitat, clogged water intakes, and

foul fishing gear. If you see where certain areas, like in Alaska, they don't want you to wear felt sold waiters. That's very common. Now, Brody, what's all your experience with rocks? Oh, it's just on. When I was a fly fishing guy, like this time of year July August, when the water gets warm, that ship would start blooming everywhere. When when Brody blurreded that tip, it almost threw me off. He's of fish a lot of northerns in a lake where

Northern's got like illegally introduced. And so I was like then I was like, oh no, he also was a fishing guy that was on the news here this morning. Oh yeah, problem. But I was like, if someone called the Northern Didemo out of her fill the scoreboard update, we are halfway through the game of trivia. That's right. We have a logan it was yet to make ushing on the scoreboard and then we have Sean, Gabby and

Karin all with one point a piece. Steve and Chris have three points and in first place with five points. Had a perfect game so far is Brodie and he's crushing it. A heaterd never before seen in meat Eater Trivi. Almost something bad, having bad bad Brodie but just get kicked by a mule where he's a little off. I heard you guys. You guys are going on a trip together here. You know we're gonna be suspicious if Brodie

doesn't come back in to get a little off. You know, sometimes like very good sports athletes like instead of retiring when they're at the top, they like drag their career on too long. I think I'm just gonna retire. I'm not gonna be so so Brodie would be. I'm forgetting your name, but I was gonna bring up the Tanya Harding situation you kind of want right The question six the topic is hunting. This X ray question comes to

us from Sean Doherty. If you have a question you think is right for Meatia to Trivia, you can send it to Trivia at the meat eater dot com. What is the only state where you can hunt Columbia blacktail, Columbia white tail, white tail, and mule deer? Any topic is hunting. What is the only state where you can hunt Columbia blacktail, Columbia white tail, white tail, and mule deer. Again, a very quick answer from Brodie Henderson. Well, you're just not looking over in my way. You had a quick answer.

I can see little Brody fests. Get a little bit his hand motions. Yeah, one more time looking for before dear that you can hunt in this stat it's the only state where you can do it. Columbia blacktail, Columbia white tail, white tail, and mule deer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Washington, Chris saying Oregon, Logan sang Oregon, Brodie sang Oregon, Shawn saying Washington, Gabby

saying Washington, and Krin saying Washington. The correct answer is Oregon, although the species, although these four species are also found in Washington, you can't hunt Columbia white tailed deer there. Columbia white tails are also heavily protected in Oregon, but there is a controlled hunt that takes place in the Roseberg herd. So the room did very well, and if they didn't get it right, they had the second best answers.

Some serious taxonomic splitting going on in Oregon. Right question seven, Brody may have ran away with it at this point. Couple questions. The topic is woodsmanship. If you're in the Hoosier National Forest and hiking towards the Star Polaris, then what direction are you headed? If you're in the Hoosier National Forest and hiking towards the Star Polaris, then what direction? Okay, Spencer has had the last few games, he's had one question on just like your question. Is this supposed to

be the trick question? Just a regular old question that if you're good at woodsmanship, you'll get it right. I don't mind criticizing him, but I don't like any kind of If you're in the Hoosier National Forest and hiking towards the Star Polaris, then direction are you headed? Does everybody have an answer to this stupid question? I never I never said it was go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying north, Chris sang north, Logan saying east, Brody saying north, Shawn saying north, Gabby saying north, and Karin saying west. The correct answer is north doesn't matter exactly anywhere in the noisy Paris. That's what makes good question. That's Polaris is more commonly known as the north star. And since the Hoosier National Forest of Indiana is located in the northern hemisphere, and if you walk towards Polaris, you're headed north, so it's it's north for everybody in

the northern hemisphere. That's why I said the Hoosia National Forest. I don't see anyone here that's in the southern hemisphere currently. I know that. I'll say, you know, you ought to throw in what's that? Then in the northern hemisphere. It's the only star that appears fixed in the sky. I like it. It's the only start. It doesn't change his position, like six thousand years I think, which one points at Dipper.

If you go to the Big Dipper, if you go to the outside of the cup of the Big Dipper and go the direction that that cup, like you go away from the cup and you count seven spacings of the outer two stars that will hit players. There we go. Players might be isn't that the last star on the handle of a little dipper as well? It might be I thought it was part of one of the dippers, but I don't know which round the question eight. We

will to scoreboard update after this. The topic is conservation and this X great question comes to us via Ryan Winchester here. If you have a question you think it's right for meat Eat Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eator dot com. There are two hundred fifteen species of darter in North America and four of them are named after US presidents. Name one of those presidents. There are two hundred fifteen species of darter in North America, and four of them are named after

US presidents. Name one of those presidents. A stumped room. So far it's a darter. I'm not gonna help you. Two species of darter and four are named after presidents. Just looking for one of those presidents. I love this new call sounds. It's unbelievable. You're gonna be breaking that out with your super duper bulltag. This is the only Yeah, this is the enjoy. I like enjoy as you can tell the easy socker and you can multitask while you're using it. That's how like little thought you have to

put into using that thing. Those rules will have never heard that call before in their lives. Let's say, listen to this show. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Lincoln, Chris sang Roosevelt, Logan Sang Roosevelt, Brodie sang Roosevelt, Sean Sang Washington, Gabby sang Roosevelt, and Crin Sang Nixon was actually good conservation. Actually give a throwaway one and say Trump as well.

But our Theodore Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Roody is playing a perfect game, perfect game, and I don't see him tripping up on these last two. Profession and biologists who discovered these four species in two thousand twelve decided to name them after leaders who they said best promoted conservation and environmental protection. They also discovered a fifth darter, which they named after former Vice President Al Gore.

Phil give us a scoreboard update. It is down to two players because our esteemed guest Chris Parrish has six points. He's already broken the He's still in the running. He's in the running because Brodie has eight. Chris has six. So if Brodie does trip me Steve, Steve has four those Chris, very impressive. Even if you get these last two wrong, You've already done it. There you go. But you think Brodie's not gonna stumble. I don't see a spot for him to mess up here. Question nine. The

topic is hunting. How many measurements are taken when scoring a bear skull? How many measurements are taken when scoring a bear skull? And this is goes by any book. If it's the Boone and Crockett book, Hoping Young book, they take the same amount of measurements when scoring a bear skull. Brod, are you gonna get this one wrong? Because does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying to Chris saying three, Logan saying to Sean saying to Gabby saying one, and

Karen saying nine. The correct answer is too near to score a bear skull, you measure the length and width and add those numbers together. Do we keep playing the Brody one, we gotta keep playing. If you want to learn how to do this without a caliper's then watch Clayton Newcome's video on the Meat deater dot com called

how to Score a Bear Skull. The last question all that's left to play for here is if Brody gets to double the donation from five hundred dollars to a thousand dollars, it would be the first time that's ever happened. I want to get one of them the ma Lion machines a polygraph to make sure that there's not like a little thing going on. I don't have any earpiece in or anything like. No one's feed me stuff. Well, listen,

it's they've been fed to fill. No. He gave Krin all the answers, so we know that it's like a thing on his mind. He's not morally uncorruptible. It's like he'll do it. No one will, are you. The last question the topic is fishing. What state is home to the world's largest noodling competition? What state? Man, it's home to the world's largest noodling competition? Broody without an answer yet, m looking forward. The state home to the world's largest

noodling competition there. I don't know, but like a couple of years ago, my wife and I watched a documentary on Amazon and I think it's about noodling, and I think it might have been in there. Does everybody have an answer? That's one of those things where age does help, Like you watch enough of the documentaries and stuff, Brodie pulls one random thing out. I'd want to have an age showdown between Chris and Brody because age is a valuable,

valuable tool in this game. Yeah, not an arthritis. But go ahead and reveal your answers. We are Steve saying Missouri, Chris saying Oklahoma, Logan saying Kentucky, Brody saying Oklahoma, Sean saying Oklahoma, Gabby saying Oklahoma, and Karin saying Mississippi. The correct answer is Oklahoma. Answers and the Perfect Game, he did the underdoable around and the next postest I believe it was Chris who got seven that game. Perfect Game. Just pull him out. It's almost und I don't like that.

I don't like where you're going. Questioning my integrity will remind the audience again. These two are about to go to Alaska together. They're gonna be in a very remote place. He's gonna come back if people are gonna be like, he's just a little off. Yeah, it's just if you see Steve holding a tire iron, he's not he's not changing his time, Brody, I gotta find out how long you got to hold someone underwater before they get like a little oxygen, Like no one really knows. Maybe his

wife had noticed in his tribute score go down. You could start that level of damage. You could start off your human toxicity of leads. Good idea. That's right, little drips and they're gonna it's sweet peppers. It's sweet pepper. The thousand dollars, where's it gonna go? Well, Oh, I've been wanting to do something with kids, so I think let's do on that catch a Dream thing where they send kids with terminal diseases on hunts and fish hunting

and fishing trip. Who could argue with that one? And he's a he's a good guy to boot, real good guest. So it was like, if you think about it, where where's the money? Catch a dream? Catch a dream? Okay, well done, Brody, congratulations on a perfect game. Flirting with it. Some say you got in the past was like a contestant that he felt that he did as a straight ten for Tenny got but he's never done it before.

He did it once before, but it was before we had the I think we're even the HUNTERD dollar donations. So he's had two perfect games. Who perfect games. We've played about twenty games of trivia, so that's gonna be a new stat. Ten percent of the time Brody gets the perfect game. Yeah, I should just retire now, Chris, thank you for playing. Join us next time for more media or Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
