Ep. 363: Game On Suckers! MeatEater Trivia XXIII

Kevin Harlander and Forward Van Fawsen. We also have some meat eat regulars with us, like Steve cal Clay, Sean and Krin. Now, Steve, you've had a chance to size up these First Light folks after a regular podcast episode here. Who do you think is a threat? I don't I heard that that it's expected that Ford will do well. Oh you were your sources who just told me that? Kevin. Kevin told me that he I think he didn't say

that he thinks he'll do well. I think that he was saying that other people were saying that he do well. Bridget Bridget is the one here, the source. Yeah, he just knows everything about everything. It's kind of annoying. Actually, oh man, yeah, no pressure, no pressure. Annoying people do pretty good on trivia. Here, bridget Kevin, how you guys feel about trivia? Medium? Strong? Okay, not great? All right, well, good thing we got forward you then that's my team

forward so bad? Man. I gotta ask Steve, did you hear Clay's remark there? He said, I heard annoying people do well on trivia. I I mean, I've done pretty

well on trivia. But Clay is so nice a human that I actually need to follow up to make sure that was a jab and that I'm not just that wasn't just like a misunderstanding that I just no, Clay is so perfect it he's the only person allowed to play remotely, like you can trust Like I wouldn't let myself play remotely no way on Earth, because I'd be like, I'd probably just be like, let me just check what they say online about this subject. Wikipedia said, just I'm

not gonna seal the answer. I'm just gonna have a quick look. Just jog my memory now. If you're not familiar, this is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals, which are 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 unless you get a perfect game, then we do a thousand bucks, which has happened one time, not to me.

And for our stat of the week this week, we're looking at overtime. On average, Meat Eater Trivia ends in a tie and goes to overtime thirty six percent of the time. Steve is the best overtime performer, winning three out of the four times he's gone overtime, and Roody is the worst overtime performer, only winning one of the seven times he's made it to the question. He's only

run one on the seven one of seven. It's amazing, how to just said about man, it's amazing how good he is it questions one through ten, but that eleventh one can't pull it off. Yeah, just just in cases doesn't go to overtime. I want to explain the focal quick overtime is it wants to being a numerical question, and it's like it's you get presented with the thing, you have to guess a number, not guess you make an educated guess at a number like one of them was.

One of them was the average cost the national average of a resident fishing license. I won that one. There's one of the three that you've won. Now, before we

played trivia, we have some housekeeping to get you. On a previous game of trivia, we talked about Teddy Roosevelt sent New Zealand their first moose, and elk Well listener Ryan Davidson wrote in to say that he got that question right because in the video game The Hunter Call of the Wild, there's a storyline where our friend Remy Warren has to hunt down New Zealand's last moose that was sent by Teddy Roosevelt. So Ryan wanted to let Steve know that video games really can teach you something.

Why does he want to kill the last moose Roosevelt center, I don't know, don't, don't, don't pull holes in it, dude, my kid like, oh my god, drives me despite that contract we have that stupid video gameything that drives me. Notes either a day hawked the wood chip had a sister and hit in the back of the head and lost it for two weeks, but not even on the contract. Is that the first penalty you've had got to fight about garden and chores and apparently hooked a wood chip

at her. And he's at the first penalty you've had to inforce on the he normally doesn't have it. What's the longest, So what's the longest suspension you've had to show? He's probably got it where he's probably gone a week in possession of the controllers without getting the controllers locked into the gun safe. He's probably pulled the week. But no, he like normally is losing it. Keep this update on that.

I like it. Also in a previous game, we talked about the movie The Last of the Mohicans and their prolific use of flintlocks. I also brought up on Natty Bumpo is in the movie, to which Cal said, he's not, but it turns out he is. That's because in the Leather Stocking Tales book series, which the movie is based on, it is Nattie. He is Natty Bumpo. Bumpo goes by many aliases like deer slayer, leather Stocking, pathfinders, straight Tongue,

the Pigeon, and Hawkeye. So Daniel day Lewis's character Hawkeye in the Last of the Mohicans is actually portraying Natty Bumpo, even though they don't call him that. Dude, I feel like when I'm not there, I feel like I'm getting robbed man. But you know, you know, Mark Twain hated uh, James Fenimore Cooper now and wrote like a hilarious takedown of Natty Bumpo, and James in a more Cooper Twain

hated him. So can you explain it? So the Leather Stock BULLI in aggression coming into the Last of the Mohican. One of the books in The Leather Stocking Tales was the Last of the Mohicans, and in that book, Natty Bumpo was known as Hawkeye, but he went by many other aliases as well. Well. Last the Mohicans is not a thin book. You're not gonna read that over the weekend. So Leather Stocking Tales must be a heck of a series. Must be. You're gonna pick it up. You gotta learn

more about Natty Bumpo. I don't know. I'll tell you that the book Last of the Mohicans, Uh, well make the movie seem like a G rated movie. So you read the book and you saw the movie and you didn't know it's about Natty Bumpo. No, because they call him hawkeyeing the girl was the guy from Mash. Well he is the guy, right, I believe I believe the man for Mash was named after after Natty Bumpo. See, my old man would refer to he would talk about Natty Bumpo. He thought you were good at hunting. He'd

say you were a Natty Bumpo. Interesting. I'll tell you right now. If that Mash theme song started playing, it just sucked me right back into Grandpa's living room. Spencer, you know what, man, what's up on the on the on the show, the podcast that precedes this. On one day's I started to tell a story about it't finish

the story, go ahead, I just real quick. My dad would say he would talk about optimists and pessimists, okay, and he said if you put he would he would do either optimists and pessimists or rich kids and poor kids, depending on what the point he was trying to make you talk about. You take a poor kid, you take a rich kid and put him in a room full of horse ship. He's just gonna sit there and cry.

You put a pork in the room full of horse ship and he's gonna start digging around and there because he says, with all this horseship has got to be a pony in here somewhere. That's all the show. And finally, on a previous game, we talked about the acronym FIFO, which stands for first in, first out, and it is

applied to perishable goods. We had some listeners from states like Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania right in to say that FIFO also stands for effing idiot from Ohio. It's generally used to insult out of state hunters and anglers when they appear to be incompetent, and it's most often used a boat ramps to describe people who can't back up trailers. And with that, we're on the Metia to trivia play the drop fill. Look, I need to

know what I stand to win everything? How I'm saying, just tend to win everything. Question one. This will be multiple choice and the topic is cooking a According to the f d A, what temperature should your freezer be? Is it zero degrees, ten degrees, twenty degrees or thirty degrees? Again, according to the f d A, what temperature should your freezer be? Zero, ten, twenty, or thirty? This is in fahrenheit. Well, you know you're a statistician. People, Yeah, what's up? How

long you give to? How long people have to answer questions? Because I think I feel like it varies, We're gonna have to put them on the payroll off. We started asking over the numbers zero degrees, ten degrees, twenty degrees or thirty degrees. And this is according to the f d A. On what temperature your freezer should be? What did you want them to track? I miss that. Why he gives why the amount of time you have? I

told him a long time ago. He doesn't listen. Is to get an hour glass, little thing, a minute counter from a board game, and he won't do it, and he just lets it be up to I'm worried that would suppress the banter, that makes this more than just like straight facts. Does everybody have an answer? Yes, go

ahead and reveal your answers. We have Karin saying twenty, Kevin saying twenty, Bridget saying thirty, Clay saying twenty, Steve saying zero, Cal saying thirty, Seawan saying zero and four freezer. The correct you're flirting with disaster, dude. I thought. I was really and I'm like, well, twenty doesn't make any sense either. Frozen is frozen. What's what's the answer. The correct answer is zero degrees, Steve, only one to get. Oh, Steve, and so your state. No, I just know what my

freezer said. At the FDA Guidelines Daily, they say that a zero degree freezer will keep an adequate temperature for about forty eight hours in case the power ever goes out. And when it comes to refrigerators, they say the temperature should never exceed forty degrees. God, that was my gut and I ever thought and I was like, oh, it's a direct question. That's called that's when your homunculous knows something and your brain overrides it. Man, We're on the

question to you. The topic is woodsmanship. This is our Listener question of the Week, which was won by Psi Courser for sending this great question. SI is going to get a one hundred dollar first Like gift card if you want a chance to win the Listener question in the week and send your question to Trivia at the meat Eater dot com. So I can also come into the store here and use his gift card. Absolutely and get some waiters. I don't think you could save it.

Talked about the store enough the store really whoops, asked I thought I was gonna be walking into like like a shopping ma Kiosk sort of situation. This is great. Yeah. I want to say, like hang out in here like like a jeweler and an airport kind of story. Maybe ye on, faith, ain't that though? Are you disappointed that you can't find ray bans in here? No, but we got we sell everything except ray bands. Question to you again, Woodsmanship.

This is our Listening Questions week. There are two states in the lower forty eight that don't have venomous snakes. Name one of them. Again, there are two states in the lower forty eight that don't have venomous snakes. I want you to name one of those states. Nobody with a quick answer. No, everyone's thinking real hard trying to figure out where those two states are again the lower Do we have a regular time period answer here? What's what's the not just just long time? Everyone's done? Think

this is a great question. M hmm. That's why it's our listener question the week, and they're gonna have a hundred dollar gift card to show for it. So of them, mother scratcher, Steve said he has Does everyone else have an answer? M M, I have an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Karin saying, what's the answer here? Pick one Connecticut? Sorry, Connecticut says Connecticut. Know I thought he said too, or must be having a

stroke or something. Kevin says Maine, Bridget says Illinois, Clay says Maine, Steve says Maine, cal says Maine, Sean says Vermont, and Ford says Rhode Island. The two states are Maine and Rhode Island. And I actually I was thinking where are their timber rattlers? But because people don't know what people like you know what? Uh? I never they're They're like I have people. I'm having a hard time about

so much. Words are they're in there? In Michigan, everyone I know runs into the things grouse hunting or something. I personally, in the twenty years I lived there, never laid eyes on one. If you'd if if it wasn't people telling me about them, I would have said, there's no way they're here. I'm frankly surprised they're not in Maine because they're if they're in Vermont and New Hampshire. I mean that's about yeah. And I got friends like, oh,

shot on two, killed one on the rock. Whatever. I'm like, I have never run into one. It's great you brought up the timber rattler, because although the timber rattlesnake used to be found in both states, it's now considered extirpated in both areas. The last rattlesnake in Maine was spotted in nineteen o one, and the last one in Rhode Island was in the nineteen seventies. Alaska and Hawaii are

the only other two states without venomous snakes. Funny mention that man, because I remember we're saying, how like a rattlesnake in Hawaii, Dude would love that place. Can't get you can't get used to the fact that they're not there. And he's always talking about like it seems like they should be like in the lava rocks and grass, and he says, I can't get over the thing that I feel like I need to tiptoe around, like like bending

over to pick up firewood. We're like roasting a sheep on this beautiful Hawaiian spot and like the back of my neck is just a knots because I'm like, oh, careful now, there's gonna be like watch yourself, there's gonna be a big whole routling run there. Question three of the topic is conservation. What does a federal duck stamp cost in? Oh? Interesting again? What does a federal duck stamp cost in? You know this one? Yes? Yeah, you know? Looking for a dollar amount? What if you give it?

What if you tell what it wasn't the no? Right now? Has it? Does it change quite a bit? No? Not at it. Here, I am doing my own, my own worst. It's just a round dollar number or their cents. The hint is you should go buy one after this. You should then check your receipt. That's right again, What does a federal duck stamp cost in? This is another one that feels like it should be so simple. But is it? Now? Karan? I see you writing a lot of answers over here,

and then I just throw a lot out there. Okay, does everybody have an answer? Puts several answers down or no answers down. It's it's like rarely is it like just answered Texas with a dollar sign. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Karin saying dollars and fifty cents, Kevin saying thirty two dollars, Bridget saying, Clay saying fifty dollars, Steve saying twenty dollars, Cal saying twenty five dollars, Sewn saying twenty five dollars, and Ford saying thirty five. We

do have a correct answer. It's twenty five dollars. Federally duck stamps. Federal duck stamps used to cost fifteen dollars, but their price was raised to twenty five. The bill that made the change was signed by President Obama and raised an additional sixteen million dollars for wildlife habitat. You know in your little tidbit there, I would have appreciated had you alluded to the controversy that it raised by

from fifteen to twenty five. People pointed out that it's a blank percent increase, but then adjusted for inflation, it was still lower. It was adjusted for inflation, it was cheaper than one. It was the first fifteen. Yeah, if you adjusted it for inflation, sent it was founded. It should be like a sixty dollar I think that's what it was. It's like it's a significant amount of money. It should be. That's what Clay was going forward with fifty.

I think they ripped me off. I'm pretty sure I paid fifty are Its important to point out though, even like obviously like happened under the Obama administration, but after like years of lobbying occurred by lots of sportsman's groups. Ducks Unlimited was huge lobbying for the federal stamp increase, big win for everyone. Question for the topic is biology. The next great question comes to us via Grant Robinson.

If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eat Trivia, you can send it to Trivia at the meat Eator dot com. What is the rule that describes how animals living in cold climates tend to be larger than the same species living in warm climates. I knew the answer to that before it came out of your biology. What is the rule that describes how animals living in old climates tend to be larger than the

same species living in warm climates? Some very quick answers in the room, As Clay noted, before I even finished the question, I didn't even listen to the last part of the question. I was glad you said it again because it was a question I thought it was. Dude, I can't wait to get into the part where I start. Uh, I'm not arguing with you, okay years ago. Hey, I've got an exception. I know the answer, but there's, like you'll see, there's a problem. I want to talk about

an exception. Are you talking about pigmy mammoths? No, well that'd be an exception too. Though, you guys get carried away, you get a little out of yourself. Does it start with what letters is to start with? Appreciate the effort. Everybody good, Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Korean saying elephant tightest ha ha, Kevin saying four, Bridget saying what Clay says? Clay says Bergman's, Steve says Bergman's cow says Bergman's Sean without an answer, Ford saying Bergman's

You guys got it. It is Bergman's rule. Well, no, I believe it's been downgraded to Bergman's principle because of all the exceptions. And this is named after German biologist Carl Bergman, who described the pattern in nineteen forty seven. Some examples of animals that follow Bergman's rule include fox,

copa pods, crocodiles, penguins, and humans white tills. Okay, so tales tales of the great example, because you look at the keys, dear versus the you know, the Canadian, the Alberta giants, I think smallmouth bass or one that like generally follows it with some exception or not a man weal though, so that's a big exception. Gotcha. I've heard someone talk about it was small. I've never heard of this.

I've never heard of biologists say this. But airs seem to go opposite of Bergman's Bergman's law because like the whole idea of a bigger body size is to retain heat, so that means they have to withstand the winter. But a bear goes into estivation, it's not really hibernation, and so they skip winter. And so the biggest black bears in the world are in the south because they're eating more months, that's right, and so they basically skip out on the cold and so there they don't follow that rule.

If you think about a think about a grizzly, like let's say a grizzly on the north slope of the Brooks Range. He's normally hibernating, right, most of them. What do you do typically, I'm hibernating. Are there any grizzlies that don't hybernate? I'm assuming they all do in their ain. Well, in some areas, I know they In some areas they'll they have they sort of like flirt with their den.

They'll do like what like what black bears in Maryland, Right, a real bad cold snap, they'll hold up, but there's things nice, they'll pop back out. So even in you know, people photographers and yell Still National Park are always catching grizzlies out dicking around in February March. You know, they come out to do stuff. You gotta think the one that lived in New Mexico, you know, a hundred fifty years ago. Well they they they let's not get into the details here, but bears they then in a lot

of places based on food availability, not on temperature. So you could have a bear and really warm places even go into and they don't hybernate. Don't bears don't hybernate? Well, you know what we're talking about. But so yeah, well the question, Steve, we will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is public Lands. Name one of Outside magazines ten best Mountain Towns in America for change the usual suspects. Name one of Outside magazines ten

best mountain hounds in America for two. Just looking for one of them, hopefully not. Don't don't name anything. Why is this on this trivia show? Because they're they're rating. One of the things that they look at is like what you can do in that town. Public Lands happens to weigh heavily on that factor. Oh, on principle, I'm not. I'm sticking to other states again. Name one of Outside magazines ten best Mountain Towns in America for two? Would this be based upon this? This is based on whatever

criteria you think. I would be based on what they did, what they did last year? They didn't do last year, So you gotta have some deep intail on this magazine. Spencer cannot clarify something. Was the term they use mountain town or was it like place to get out? They call them mountain towns, the best mountain towns. I think the article is the only four best mountain towns of them. But I'm looking for the town. He not giving any more hints. Does everybody have an answer a mountain town

written down? This is probably your stupidest, worst question. We have Karin, you ready, Sean. We have Karin saying Jackson, Kevin saying Boise, Bridget saying Tahoe, Clay saying Bozeman, Steve saying Bozeman, cal saying Steamboat, Sean saying, catch um Ford saying Asheville, North Carolina. Oh that was bold Ford. They that one a lot. The top ten are Lake Placid, New York, Sedona, Arizona, Bozeman, Montana, sto Vermont, Asheville, North Carolina, Bend, Oregon, Truckee, California.

Tell you ride Colorado, Jackson, Wyoming, and Parks. The the Utah Asheville makes because they're trying to spread the lovat a little bit, you know what I mean. Well, and there's all that bluegrass. That was Nashville a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, what's that that hotel plays up there? We got stopped by a bear jam up there on Yeah, I know. Outside Magazine declared Park City, Utah, the best

mountain town in America. They love that the ski town has four hundred fifty miles of trails on public land is near the Provo and Weber rivers for fly anglers and produces some of the best whiskey in the country. Yeah, but let's not talking about how you can do a trivia show about someone else's like subjective subjective marketing based. It's like, it's insane. Here's here's why I can justify.

We've done questions about like the Fishing Hall of Fame before, which is totally subjective that's not decided on by like some spreadsheet key were there. I felt like they tossed about they like the fishing and the public land accessibility. I felt like the question had to do with our knowledge of just like pop culture, like you got you got you know bonus points if you knew about Outside magazine.

Here's another thing is that I take a lot of pride and that a lot of feedback we get is people saying that this is the only podcast that their spouse or significant other will listen to you with them because they feel like they can play along. So I think it's crucial to like throw a bone to some folks who aren't necessarily hardcore hunters and anglers, because we'll we'll keep them around Uh, they feel like they can

get a bunch of masters that Spencer. That's right. I think it's good for the show and I take a lot of pride knowing that those folks want to play along. Before you got here, we're joking about maybe it'd be a Britney Spears themed week, and sounds like that's becoming a reality some day. Phil hit us with a scoreboard update. We are halfway through the game of trivia. Uh, let's let me know when the Britney Spears week is coming.

And then uh, we have bridget nowt in Uh was zero points you were very close with didn't hear that? Kevin and Karin both have one point, Sean Weaver has two, and then duking it out for the top few spots, we have Ford, Clay and cow All with three points and Steven Ronnella is in first place with four points. You just question, how good? Okay? Yeah? Anybody's game Question six The topic is cooking. This next great question comes

to is via Clayton Hunt. If you have a question you think is right for meat Eat Trivia you and send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com. Derived from a Latin word that means horses hind leg. This object is used for suspending slaughtered animals. Good question, again, derived from the Latin word that means horses hind leg. This object is used for suspending slaughtered animals. Spencer, this

is an example of a good question. Meat hook. Shout out to the spouses and significant others that listen with the folks that are generally in our audience. I like that question. You had man more to think about. I had thought about the way you were thinking about it. The mountaintowns one, but he got it right, So that helps one more time here. Derived from the Latin word that means horses hind leg. This object is used for suspending slaughtered animals. I did not see any answers that

came upon us very quick. Dudes, you hadn't even finished. Oh you knew it, Okay, you knew you first place. Steve putting the pressure on everyone else. I mean, I don't even know what to guess. No, I've got nothing. Does everybody who is going to come up with an answer have an answer? Clay are equestrian. Fella doesn't know it? You know what? Point out that Clay is the only person I've ever met who plays with his board horizontal. We got we had another one over here. You're show

him your damn answer. Does everybody have an answer? Kevin does go ahead and answers, we have Korean without an answer, Kevin saying gamble, Bridget saying it doesn't matter, Clay without an answer, Steve saying gamble, cal saying gamble shot without an answer, and Ford saying gamble. The correct answer is gambril. Are you accepting gamble? I don't know that I would have, but then four played dialect. I played dialect there because you're a normal like spelling doesn't matter rule. But it's

a decidedly different word. If I said I'd like to go gamble, or if I said I need to go get a gambrel, right, two great different things. And I think the dialect is important here that he pointed out because in the context Steven, I can say with a certainty, I've never written that word in I think we're gonna give it to you guys, since so many folks did the same thing, never heard the R pronounced in it,

honestly in all the meat hook days now. It also shares a name with the style of roof that builders referred to as Dutch roofs. Most modern gambles can support anywhere from five hundred to fift hundred pounds, which means the limiting factor is usually how much weight you're sealing Joyce can hold. Oh, now, I've definitely pronounced that wrong. What's my building days? It was a gambler roof. Yeah, I didn't know that that was the same word. Maybe

maybe folks just leave the R off there. You're also pronouncing the second word wrong, the second word r o o F. He's over too on that one. I'm gonna go set in the creek after this. Right to question seven, the topic is woodsmanship. Who was the documentary filmmaker that lived among brown bears in Alaska for thirteen summers before getting eaten by them in two thousand three? Watch that

two years ago? Who was the documentary filmmaker? I've heard this name way too many times, that brown bears in Alaska for summers, driving me nuts by them in two thousand three. Steve had the quickest answer in the room. He might have questions like this that make you a good tribute player, and I I'm not gonna get it. I know the name of the filmmaker who did the film, and the guy has a nickname. We're looking for a

full name. Last name. We'll do, first name, We'll do then no, no, last name only, all right, they were changing. Give me one minute. Okay, give me a couple more minutes. Getting the documentary filmmaker that lived among brown bears in Alaska for thirteen summers before getting eaten by them in two thousand three. This is question seven. Does everybody have

an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Koran without an answer, Kevin without an answer, Bridget without an answer, to Clay saying Chris Steve saying Timothy Treadwell, Kyl saying tim Treadwell, Seawan saying Treadwell, and Forward saying treadwell. You guys got it. It's Timothy Treadwell. M hmm. Now there is a six minute audio clip that exists where you can hear Treadwell eating alive just before being mauled. His cam quarter was turned on, but the lens cap wasn't

taken off. His ex girlfriend owns the cam quarter with the audio, but is vowed to never release it to the public. She did allow the director the two thousand five documentary Grizzly Man to hear it. Though. While listening to it, the director takes off his headphones and this is what he says to her, you must never listen to this. I think you should not keep it, you should destroy it. And the audio has never been heard

by more people after that, Well, that's horrifying. I'd love to hear that six minute video it was leaked, because I know it's like there's someone screaming hit it with a pan. Now, there are there's versions that are floating around YouTube that have been proven to be hoaxes because there have been a couple of folks that have heard it and they're like, no, like all all these details

are wrong. And one of the things that I think was really chilling that someone who has heard it pointing out is like, you don't hear the stereotypical bear noises while this is happening, like the bears not like growling and huffing and like just being super vocal the whole time. All you hear like the screams, and you hear the frying pan hitting the bear and things like like me, it's like the silent killer. Yes, what if? What if?

This is just very presumptive and he was actually saying like I never should have dated you, like that's wanted to Question eight. We will think about after this from Phil, what state had the most registered hunters in the latest data that I could find? What state had the most registered hunters? Well to find a registered hunter, a hunter who owns a hunting license before the panic? What if I told you the top Yeah, we are looking for

number one the most registered hunters. When a Treadwell was killed, people like to talk about how stupid he was, and uh oh he should he had a comment. Listen, man, the dude knew what he's doing, talked about what might happen, and could out camp anyone in this room. I'm very surprised to hear that you're a treadwell defenders to live in that bugging, mosquito infested, soaking wet alder choked hell whole all summer for that many years in a row. No one wants to do that. He made good content

out camp anybody in this room. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Karin saying, West Virginia, Kevin saying, Michigan, Bridget saying, Pennsylvania, Clay saying Pennsylvania, Steve saying Texas, cal saying Michigan, Shawn saying Pennsylvania, and Ford saying Texas. The correct answer is Texas. I mean, I knew like Pennsylvania and Michigan were always neck and Steve, why don't you tell us how you feel about your

performance so far? Sorry, sorry to interrupt. Go ahead, now, this is according to data from the U S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They say that Texas sold over one million hunting licenses in which is a couple hundred thousand more than second place Pennsylvania. Texas also harvested about six hundred thousand deer that year, which is number one in

the country. Like number of people total registered, that's okay, and they do it with What's remarkable is that many people in the woods and in such a paucity of public hunting opportunities, you know, but just a lot of like a lot of honorable ground. Now why the question had to be worded as registered hunters, because if it was just hunting licenses, then you have states like Wisconsin that I think sell twice as many actual hunting licenses by the time you figure in like uppland licenses and

deer tags and things like that. So Texas is number one for registered hunters, but they're not necessarily at the top for everything else. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. We have three players still in the game. We have Ryan Callahan who has five points and really living up to his reputation. We have Ford van Fasten with six, and in first place is the Silent Killer. Stephen was seven. Y. Yeah, Steve's the

annoying player in the locker room. He's like, let me tell you, we all know Steven Ronell is an amazing player. You know, Steven Ronella really lived up to his performance today. And I just want to thank God. When when I saw Chappelle. When I saw Chappelle the other night, Chappelle twice said the world He twice described himself as the world's greatest comedian. I think he did that more than two times. I was surprised, but he was. Question nine

the topic is foraging. This thanks great question comes to his via Adam Hamilton. If you have a question you think is right from Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com, also known as the Appalachian Banana. This is considered to be the largest fruit native to the United States. Also known as the Appalachian banana, This is considered to be the largest fruit native to the United States. Steve our guy

in first how you feel about this? I wrote quick, not cockily, Ford quite cockily about all right, good on you. Largest fruits native to the United States in his nickname is the Appalachian banana, also called a custard apple from Toms Fly. I feel that was suitably ambiguous. Listen, don't be doing that stuff. Man, that's like cal does that all the time? Makes me not strangle him? Does everybody have an answer for what the Appalachian bananas? That didn't

help you anymore, but it actually made it worse. Now when you gave a bonus nickname, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Korean without an answer, Kevin without an answer, Bridget saying jackfruit, Clay saying Papa, Steve saying Papa, Call saying Papa, Sean without an answer, and Ford saying Papa. You guys got it. It's the Papa. I like the way Spencer sounds saying he says jaguar. Now this has got you're thinking about the Appalachian banana hammock. I don't

know what that means. I don't either, But because your product good thing, we got first light folks here. Now they can have the Papa line. The Papa is found in most Midwestern and Southeastern states. It's xtuere has been compared to custard, and its flavor has been described as a cross between a banana, mango, and cantaloupe. They grow and they grow in papa groves, you know, like a papa patch. No, no, it's a it's a unique one place you never want to look for an apples an

apple grove. No no, no, like a like a per symmetry that you can have, like a loan persymmetry. Pap Paul's growing patch. Like you'll be walking through big open woods, usually on the northern slope, North Messic Slope. You got them in your country? Yeah? I got them on my land. You ever read them? They're very hard to find. Ripe check the groves and patches. The last question, Phili give us a scoreboard update one more time, because I think we still have a competition here, right we do. H

Ford and Steve are battling it out. Ford has seven Steve has eight. So if Steve slips up up and for it, gets this right, and we're going onto the tiebreaker, fucking Fraser question question ten. The topic is fishing. What great lake is said to have its own Bermuda triangle where ships and planes often disappear? I feel like Steve might have an advantage here. What great lake is said to have its own Bermuda triangle where ships and planes

often disappear? Do you know this, Steve? Okay, so there's a chance for you here. I'm just listening Great Lakes trying to do that. Take one of them by the time we're done, though, the Bermuda Triangle of the Great Lakes is where you tell us when we're good, and we're gonna reveal the answers forward. Don't overthink it. In some horrible college marketing scheme, they named this downtown region in Missoula, Montana, the Barmuda Triangle, and I just eyes

that'd be for that like a bar To triangle invol Oh. Sure, maybe that's what I'm thinking about, scoop, But the scoop is a no no more. It's just a barmu To line. Now if it doesn't have karaoke, right, Phil, I mean, why even go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Krin saying here on, Kevin saying superior, Bridget saying Michigan, Clay saying superior, Steve saying superior, Cal saying Michigan, Sewn saying superior, and Ford saying superior. The correct answer is Michigan.

So Cal got right, Steve, still our winner. How many you year? Right? Eight? Well done. That's the second time I've written Michigan on the board today. Pretty good about it both times, Steve. What happens next is you get to choose where the five hundred dollar donation goes. Just going to be it's I'm it's not escaping my notice that just zero excitement, enthusiasm. Probably get so excited for him,

get so happy and excited. I hate to break it to Steve, but I think everyone might have been playing polling for Ford. This game had a lot of support put behind him. I'm gonna put my I'm gonna put my money. Um. I used to be, I used to be it would always go to Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. I strayed a little bit for our on land access initiative. I strayed for Seth Cantoner's publisher, but I'm going back to t RCP. I think they like that. Hey, okay,

talking about Ford and Steve. If there were if we were if this were a bask to rival basketball teams they were playing, and there were two like top players, and like one of the top players one uh, but we still didn't really feel good about the outcome of the wider game. We would have him play one on one, like after hours, like Ford and Steve one on one sounds excellent. First Light folks, thank you for joining us. Ford, well done. We're gonna have to have you back on

to play again. I'd be awesome again. The First Light Store in Hailey, Idaho. This whip's ass, I dig it. We're gonna have to come back in here and play just because it's so fun to hang out here. Not a mal kiosk, that's right, not a mal kiosk. Join us next time for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
