Ep. 361: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia XXII

I am a staff accountant and I do accounts, payable account receivables, work with Phelps, game calls, doing some accounts receivables with their wholesalers, and uh just have a great team. I like it. And she was a big contributor to the Pardon My Plate series. Honest, I don't know if you know this, but do not. The stuffed bob can't that we we messed around with. That actually came from Melissa. Why do you have it's my husband's. Actually I can't take full credit for it. It's his. Be honest. When

are you getting your bobcat pillow? Hopefully soon? Ah this recently told me that she had something at one point like sixteen dogs, uh, twelve, twelve dogs. That was that a puppy situation. There was a puppy mill to the devils in the details. No, we actually raised English pointers for a long time. Yeah, that's awesome. I once had eighteen cats. That was that was a kitten. That was a surprise kittens underneath the stairwell of the front porch situation.

That's too many cats, way too many. I had your feet off. No, no, no, my wife had one without me knowing outside, which led to two litters being born under the stairs of our front ports without me knowing, and then it four weeks old, they emerged. We had to get rid of them, get rid of them. We had to get We had to get rid of them. Brodie, it's not too many cats. The smallest box of twenty

two shells you can get now. If you're not familiar, this is a ten round quiz show with questions from our four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There is a prize. Meat eater will donate five dollars to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now, I told you how we're going to reveal a new stat each episode, and the stat of the week this week

is doing a deep dive on Brody Henderson's performance. Here's why Brody put together the oddest trivia streak will likely ever see. In the first ten games Brody ever played, he either won or win into overtime on every game. That's damn impressive, Brodie. Yeah, and now you're gonna get to the bad part. Yeah. Now, he did win four of those contests, but three of them were outright victories with no overtime, which means that when Brody does go to overtime, he almost never wins except for the last

time I went to overtime. Yes, well, I was gonna say two out of three with me, that seems But Brodie has went to overtime six times, but it's only one one of those games. So he's phenomenal in the first ten questions and the last one. So here's the thing, how this this episode is for a future date that we don't know. This could come out like Christmas for all we know. You're talking to me like it's my fault. I'm talking to you. It could come out any time.

But as though you could end up being wrong too. As though I wrote this script this morning before we knew who won the last game of trivia. You've got a tough gig spencer. Oh boy, I'm crying for him. So so Brody is phenomenal the first two ten questions, but often struggles on the eleven. So, Brodie, what is it about your trivia game that doesn't translate to the overtime? Because the over the way the overtime thing is set up is not based on knowledge. It's always like man like,

it's always someone guessing a number. Wow, it's kind of harsh. That's not true. You have to have some sort of like information. It's not completely true, I'll give you that, but it does come down to, like I guess, I think most people that have gone into overtime would agree with that. I would be with you there, Brodie. It is impressive how often those first ten games you were on the winning end. It's good work. Thank you. Now, Like I said, this episode is coming out way in

the future. We have no idea. When last time we did this, I asked Janice and and Seth to make some predictions about what would happen in the next month. Seth is like Nostradamis. I asked him how he's going to do in the four peck Walley Attorney. I think he said fourteen. They got seventeen. We asked him who was going to be the sloppiest at his wedding. He predicted Chester. And I've been to many weddings with an open bar, and I've never seen somebody take pepto bismal

during the dance like we saw Chester. Dude, maybe I'm betraying a confidence there. Who actually helped him get that pepto bismal? Dirtmith and I went and got him some pepto but I but he just felt like it was gonna puke. Um. But I think, uh, I wasn't there to witness this, But I think in the end, dirt might have overtaken in. Oh no, yes, better than the alternative would have been falling in the fire. That was like three hours after I was already at home asleep.

Though he survived that. So, yeah, you want to make another prediction this time. I think last time you predicted that, uh, Peter Alonzo was gonna have like twenty home runs. By now I checked, he's at twenty two. Oh, so you got any predictions on what might happen, Uh in like the next month or something. Oh boy, I'm gonna kill my first booner, probably in the not in the next month. Out known for fishing games. Listening. Do you want to make any predictions or should we move on? Oh? You

can move on if I come up with something. All that you know now the previous game of trivia, we talked about the biggest private landowners in America, and during that question I asked Cal for what the famous Leuipold quote was about private land conservation. We couldn't come up with it at the time, but I went and found it this morning. Here it is, conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the private landowner who conserves the public interest.

So Cal explained, folks what that means, because there are a lot of great quotes about conservation, but very few that directly apply to private landowners. I don't know if that's true. Um, well, the context right is important, But because like Robert Baron times, um, but it's saying that even though it's private land, you are shackled with upholding the public trust, which is wildlife. I could say that

in a lot of different ways. But um, yeah, and I mean, if you want to really start reading into this, it's just like a deep depressing hole. Yeah matters what happens on both sides of the fence. It does. And as those fences get smaller and smaller and land gets chunked up smaller and smaller, and folks have very different ethos as to how that stuff should behave we constantly have to sit there and be like, well, you know,

wildlife is public unless you build a tall enough fence. Now, also on a previous game at Triviute, we talked about Kim Jong Ill's claimed accomplishments, which include inventing the burrito and curing dwarfism. But now I want to talk about his achievements in sports, which would make him the greatest athlete in the world. He played his first ever game of golf, in which he hit eleven holes in one

and scored thirty eight under part. Later that year, he bowled for the first time ever and amazingly got a perfect three hundred. Isn't that incredible? Wow, That's all I can say. Yeah, man doesn't even look like an athlete, but eleven holes in one, well, I think that's just focus it's just a ball hitting pans at the mental lane. Is the proper way hole in ones? Holes in one. You're saying holes in one. I think it should be.

It's like surgeons in general, what's the attorneys general? Yeah, it's I think holes in one is his right now. The dictator was infatuated with sports, which of course you would be too if you were the world's greatest athlete, but his love of basketball was actually his greatest weakness. According to some Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum actually once said that North Korea is less of a threat than I ran because, quote, Kim Jong Ill doesn't want to die.

He wants to watch NBA basketball. Wasn't didn't Dennis Rodman go and hang out there? I think that was with his son, his son Kim Young. But yeah, those folks love the NBA over there, and that's why they're not going to send a new Caney where because they just want to watch NBA basketball. Has the format of this changed since last time? I was what's going on? And with that we're on a Meeta to trivia play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I stay under wind everything.

How I'm saying just tend to win everything suckers. Question one this would be multiple choice in the topic is mountain men. This first great question comes to us from Stephen Ranella. If you have a question you think is right for Meatia to trivia, you can send it to Trivia at the meat eator dot com. What was Jeddediah Smith's middle name? Was it Hunter, Stephen Strong or Hercules? Again? What was Jeddediah Smith's middle name? Was it? Hunter, Stephen

Strong or Hercules? Did Steve supply the answers for this question? Oh? No, no, he gave me the right answer. Got you? Ce bonded this one to be a fill in the blank, but I didn't think anyboble would get it, so that's why I made it a multiple choice. Does that help you? Brody? Knowing that I was just curious? I think I know it, but I've said that before, Hunter, Stephen Strong or Hercules? Does everybody of an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Mark saying Hercules, Hayden saying strong, Brody saying strong, Melissa is saying strong, Karin saying Stephen, cal saying strong, Corey saying Stephen, and Jana saying hercules. The correct answer is Strong. Strong was his mother's last name, and Smith was his father's last name. This was a tradition made popular a few hundred years ago as religious middle names fell out of favor. Today, the most common middle names for boys is James and for girls is Marie. I

have the most common middle name, wow to them. In the colations question to the topic is fishing? What state is home to the finger Lakes region? Is that one so funny? There's a Office episode with Jim Carey, and you know what, My wife brought up this exact thing when I asked you this question. That's funny when he says, that's what Steve would be doing. Again, What state is home to the finger Lakes region? There's also that that

The correct answer is New York.

The geologic term Fingered Lakes refers to a long, narrow lake in a deep glacial valley. Eleven water bodies make up the Fingered Lakes region, and although they're known for great fishing, the area is also famous for its wine production because over four hundred wineries and vineyards surround the lakes. We call those fjords where I'm from column what fiords? The wineries are the lakes? That type of lake. My grandpa grew up on a Seneca lake, Watkins. It's one

of the biggest woodstock, isn't that Watkins Glen? No? I think woodstocks woodstock, It's not right. Question three the topics wildlife. This next great question is from Brody Whitley. If you have a question and you think he's right for meeting and Trivia, you can send it to Trivia The mediator dot COM's brown burned up like, oh, he's gonna do a question? I submitted perfect What wild animal did President Coolidge keep his a pet which he named Rebecca and

built a treehouse for? What wild animal did President Coolidge keep his a pet? Which he named Rebecca and built a treehouse. For quick answer from Mark, do you know it? Just guess? Was Coolidge our largest president? I don't think it wasn't taft kind of he was the three pound plus. Wasn't there some story about him getting stuck in a bathtub? Up? Coolidge was hard of the Depression, the Great Depression. It's good. Hint again, what wild animal to president? Coolidge keeps a

We have Marcus saying raccoon, Hayden saying servile cat, Bertie saying raccoon, Alyssa saying squirrel, Krin saying peacock, cal saying squirrel, Corey saying chimpanzee, and Janice saying koala. The correct answer is raccoon, raccoon. Now, Rebecca was sent to the White House, in nineteen six by a group in Mississippi. They intended for Coolidge to serve her for Thanksgiving dinner, but the president said he had no interest in eating a raccoon, so they made

her their pet instead. Rebecca was White House staple during the Coolidge presidency, participating in the annual Easter egg hunt and even vacationing with the family. What group sent a group from Mississippi? It said, Now, this was when I found a group of supporters sent her from Mississippi. But that seems like something that you would like give an enemy, like someone you don't like, is sending them a raccoon

to eat for Thanksgiving? Well? No, different times? Yeah, exactly, I guess speaking of I mean of all people you should know pardon my plate. You know it's become two mainstream by Stephen Ronella and Clay Newcom cooking all those raccoons, So it doesn't doesn't even fit for that show. Question for the topic is cooking. How many spices are in all spice? Again? How many spices are in all spice? All spices? One word A L L S P I

C E. How many spices are in all spice? Some quick answers from our fellas who have worked in the restaurant industry before. Corey, you know this one, I hope, so be honest. You know this one? No good. Everybody reveal your answers. We have Marcus saying six, Haten saying five, Brody's saying five, and Listen saying five, Kris saying five, Kyl saying one, Corey saying five, and the honest saying one. We have a correct answer in the room, and it is one. All spice is a berry that's native to

evergreen trees in Central America. It's a versatile spice that has notes of sweet and savory, making it a great addition to pies, brin's and soups. If you want to cook with it, try Danielle Pruitt's recipe for Caribbean goose tacos that you can find on the mediator dot com. You guys are all thinking of that Chinese powder. I thought I thought it was an appropriation of spice. That's what all spice is. One. I wanted the question five. The topic is conservation. There are five states with three

or more federal fish hatcheries. Name one of them. Again, there are five states with three or more federal fish hatcheries. Name one of them. Now before anyone writes in saying that I got this wrong or something, note the word federal federal fish hatcheries. Five states with how many or more three or more federal fish hatcheries you need to name one of those states. Does everybody have an answer? Yeah,

We have Mark saying California, Hayden saying New York, Brodie saying Washington, the LISTA saying Colorado, Crant saying Washington, cal saying Washington, Corey saying Washington. In the Honest saying Michigan. The correct answers are ras Ozona, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington. So the room did pretty well a lot of Washington's. I thought California was gonna go. Mark. Yeah, there are seventy one national fish hatcheries that release over

one hundred million fish on an annual basis. About a third of what they raise are threatened or endangered species. Washington has the most federal hatcheres in America with ten. So those of you that got it right got it right with some authority. Phil, We're halfway through the game at trivia hit us with a scoreboard update. Alright, we have Alyssa and Corey with one point and that is actually tied for third place there and then tied for

second place four ways. We have Mark, Janice Hayden and Karan each with two and uh in first place tied up again our Calan brodie before did I not say to second place? There still in the game with Karan. That's that's weird. California has five federally endangered runs of salmon. It's big steak and it's a big state. Now the Shelby Index. Uh, she got three and a half right. She gave a shelf a half point somewhere I don't

remember where. So today's winner should get seven for remembering Jim Carey was in that office episode that could have been it. People get lost in the fingerlikes all the time. Question six. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question in the week, which was won by Jared Shaw for sending this great question. Jared is going to get a meat eat your hat that was signed by everyone in the room. If you want a chance to win the listener question in the week, then send your question

to Trivia at the Meat Eator dot com. This air breathing fish, which goes by nicknames like swamp trout and mudpike, is the last remaining member of its entire genus. What is it? This air breathing fish, which goes by nicknames like swamp trout and mudpike, is the last remaining member of its entire genus? What is it?

cotton fish, and dog fish. God. That's a good question. That's why it is our listener questions. Teeth man. I've seen people have send me pictures because they like dry their heads out and they're pretty impressive, like catch one shady. Question seven, the topic is hunting. Named three of what hunters referred to as the Big five game animals in Africa? M hmm, you need to name three of what hunters refer to as the Big five game animals in Africa.

I don't think anyone instrum is hunted in Africa. Cal No, nope, Hm again, three of the Big five? Still some writing from Corey and Marcus is not white. Has the Big five been changed? I don't think so. I think the term has been hijacked though by other groups. It's not just a hunting term anymore, right, like the barnyard five or whatever. That's a slam in Texas. Is everybody an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying elephant, buffalo, lion,

Hayden saying buffalo, lion, leopard, Brody saying buffalo, lion, elephant. Well, this is saying lion, elephant, buffalo, Krand saying rhino elephant, lion, Cal saying elephant, hippo, buffalo, Corey saying kudu buffalo elephant. Jana saying lion, buffalo, and elephant. The room did very well. The five are elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. So I think everybody except cal the hippo is the on the list of dangerous game of like the most daint

what's the second last? Just that it kills a bunch of people and so that is. But yeah, I was wondering if they had changed it because of the rhino. Did everybody else get it right? Well, now they got They charged hunters to just go dardam and knock them out. The Big Five were considered to be the most difficult and dangerous animals to hunt on the continent. The term was invented by hunters, but has since been adopted by conservation groups and tourism businesses as a way to group

together Africa's megafauna. Run a question eight. We will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. This next great question is from John Schlessinger. If you have a question you think is right for meat Eator Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eator dot com. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in nineteen sixty two after it was climbing the fence of an

air force base near Duluth, Minnesota. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in nineteen sixty two after it was caught climbing the fence of an air force base near Duluth, Minnesota. Are you confident over there? Well, I can't say anything because it might give a clue if you say yes. But I know like this thing, let me just put it this way. I feel like this has been covered before elsewhere? Am I right? Spencer? Get

to that in a minute. This animal nearly triggered a nuclear attack response in nineteen sixty two after it was caught climbing the fence of an air Force base near Duluth, Minnesota. So like we were going to knuke ourselves Minnesota. That doesn't make the rowskis were like coming for those wall I in Minnesota. Does everybody have an answer? No, I'm still going through the Big Five? Well, I think that is The debate is like is the Big Five the most marketable or is it the most dangerous? Cal you

We have Mark saying a possum, Hayden saying a possum, Bertie saying a black bear, Alyssa is saying a skunk, Karen saying a black bear, cal saying a black bear,

Corey saying a squirrel, and Janna saying a bear. He correct answer is black bear. Here's what happened. A soldier spotted a shadowy figure climbing a fence of the air Force base shortly after midnight. He fired his pistol at it and sounded a sabotage alarm that alerted nearby basis that the Soviets were starting a ground attack. Then the soldier realized that it was a black bear and canceled the warning just before americ I sent nuclear armed aircraft

into flight. There's a lot more to this hilarious story that you can read about in Jordan's Stiller's article by going to the media dot com and typing in bar room banter. The bear that almost caused World War three. You know how like when you're riding around or hunting with a new hunter and they're like, Okay, there's one. They're real excited about it, and then it's not. It's a rock or a stump or something. My response is always like, hey, just proves that you're looking. I wonder

if the military had the same response. I doubt that this guy got any credit for firing his pisto A little black bear. Phil hit us with a scoreboard update. Uh, let's say we've got two players still in it, and I think we can guess which to Brody is in first place with a strong seven points, and on his tail with five points is cal So. Cal's got to make a strong shot. So he has five calls five rodio seven. So we need Brody, you get these last two wrong, cale to get them right to go into

an overtime. Let's go for overtime again. Question nine. The topic is woodsmanship. There are five states that have more than sevent forest cover name one of them. Again, there are five states that have more than sevent forest cover name one of them. On a previous episode, we asked for the least forested states. This time we're looking for the most forested states. Quick answer from Jannice is because you don't have the pressure of competing for the win. No.

I feel like this is uh Child's plans. Yeah, what you call it a softball? Not a softball, but softball. That King Jong Il hit seven feet longest home run in the world name one Saturday name. Does he own many world records? I think he's dead, um, but I'm sure in North Korea he owns them all. Probably. No, I'm sure I'm sure his son has a fear. Now right, when you say forested states, do you mean like trees or do you mean like unmolested like land? Whatever the

U s g S considers the most forested states. If you were in that dictator position, I'd like you for doing that. If I knew it was kind of like an inside joke, like this is kind of funny, But if you're serious about it, I wouldn't like you. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying Maine, Hayden saying Arkansas, Brody saying Maine, Alyssa saying Alaska, Christ saying Vermont, cal saying Maine, Corey

saying Michigan, and Jana saying Washington. The correct answers are Maine, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Vermont in Alabama. Oh cool. So the room did well too well in that we now have our winner with one question to go, and that is Brodie Henderson. You know you know what Steve is gonna say, what's that? But you have a strong going here. I think you've you've gotten all but one right going into the final question. Right, that's correct. So this one's

just for fun ziason to help everyone's average. Question ten, the topic is hunting. What is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water hen in French? What is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water hen in French? So is it a French word? It's a French word, but the Cajun use it, I don't think. Over in France they're saying this, what is the Cajun nickname for coot that roughly translates to water

hen in French? But if you want to know more about you can watch That's right, Brody, You're gonna go nine percent here? Yeah, I think maybe if I'm close enough on the spelling yeah, does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Mark saying the old hot lips, Hayden without an answer, saying what does that say? Pulled though? Listen without an answer, Karin saying what does that say? Karin cal saying pulled though?

You're saying that song Corey without an answer and answer. The correct answer is pooled though. Is that how you spell it? Close? It is p O U L D E A U. Yeah, you're in America. Brody goes nine for ten. It takes another victory. We just had a game a hard time about going to over time. Well done, bro do you? Thank you? Thank you? How do you think Steve would have done in this game? You think he'd got No, he'd have been in there. I think yeah,

but he's impressive and it would have taken twice as long. Brodie, who are you gonna give your five back of that board? And I'll make a decision. I wasn't really thinking about it now. Brody is referencing the back of our massive mediat Or trophy, which has twenty five conservation organizations on it that you can choose from. Again, thank you, Ed Newman for creating this masterpiece of a trophy. So, Brodie, who's it going to be? Uh, what what category are

you looking at? You're looking like public lands, fishing, undulates birds. I'm not aligned with anything, so he's not even I'm just looking at all the cool logos. Um, let's do the Western Bear Foundation. The Western Bear Foundation. I think that's the second donation. I can change it if we want to edit. But give Caloriason why because that like bears there you go? Good enough for me? Does that

satisfy you? Cal Well, it's kind of like throwing your money at white tail, you know, it's like they're just fine. Remember all that private land. I should change that. No, no, no, the Western Bear Foundation is not throwing money at white tails or bears. Is throwing money at the right to hunt bears, I believe more so. Yeah, which I think out of everything that we hunt, maybe might be the thing that's what do we need to like? Do this? No, this is great. I'm also convinced they're never going to

get another donation unless Clay Newcomb wins. Good on you, Brody for picking the Western Bear Foundation. You satisfied, cal I don't know, And that's the sighting ends, the only game show where conservation always wins a nice bird. Everything's fine.
