Ep. 392: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia XXXVI

We always funked up our meat scientist guest name. Hey, are you gonna read that letter from that guy that wrote that I sent you? We get a lot of letters, which letter when we're talking about um, you know how like he won't listen if I'm not here and he likes my fighting spear it and all that. If we want to start reading listener letters of about Steve's trivia attitude and people who listen or don't listen, I don't think you're gonna like the ratio that we land on

a specific letter. Oh he sent it to you? Oh that's great? Sorry guys. Episode. If you're not familiar, this is a ten round quiz show with questions from meat eaters for verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there's a prize. Meat Eater will donate five dollars to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. Now, this is episode two of our three part Meat Eater Trivia Championships.

So if you haven't listened to last week's episode, then pause this one and go back and play that one. All right, now everyone is caught up. Here's how this is going to work. Four people from last week's show and four people from this week's show. We'll move on to episode three, where we'll crown a Meat Eater Trivia Champion. And just like with sports Ball, I thought it only be right to reward those players who have shown regular

season dominance. So as the person with the second most trivia wins, I'm granting Stephen Ronelle an automatic bid to the third episodes. That that means that there are only three spots up for grabs for you other six players. Now, Steve, I want to put you on the spot here between these other six people, who do you think will be the three that move on? Come on? That's the line in like hurting feeling. Let's hear it. Let's hear we're draw the line. What have I ever heard anybody's feelings?

You're not gonna make a prediction, No, I'm not gonna do that, all right, Steve. Steve doesn't know. Now. Last weeks Brody the same question. Brody didn't even have to think about it. Brody picked Deana, Sean and Rick to move on, so he got two out of three correct instead of Rick. Seth took the final spot in the Trivia Championship. How's the rest of the room field? You guys think you're moving on? Is there anybody who's like, yeah, I'm already in that third episode? No, I don't want

to jinx myself. Man. In a previous game of Trivia, we talked about whether it's correct to say holes in one or hole in one. Kennedy Swan wrote in to say that the right way to phrase it is hole in one's and her source is that she's a professional golfer. So, Steve, how does it make you feel to know that we have a professional golfer listening to the show. Uh? I want to talk to our hosting platforms. You think cut

her out? Please get on that Kennedy Swan can no longer listen joking man, I was saying earlier, I don't hurt anybody's feelings. That's a joke. Also, I'm yeah, I've explained I'm super pro golf because it keeps other people out of doing things. I don't know. That's that's a good way to look outside. Getting healthy doesn't bother me. I don't wake up in the morning worried about golfers

coming for me. It's like I'm super pro golf. Also, on a previous show, when talking about coon hounds, I said they were black or tan coon hounds, thinking it was two different breeds, not realizing there's just one breed called the black and tan coon hound. Thank you to every single coon hound owner in America for writing in let me know I got that wrong. Yes, when I read black and tan coonhounds, I thought they were black coonhounds and tan coon hounds. I didn't host of the

black and tan coon hounds. And this guy's hosting the show. I know it jeopardizes this whole thing. Steve Stale and Fiery today, I forgot. I forgot about my pack and with that we are onto me Eater trivia play the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I stay in the wind. Everything I'm saying just tend to win everything. Round two. Did you get the new markers? I ordered them. I ordered them from Amazon the day we got done recording. But two day shipping doesn't mean anything to them anymore.

So hopefully by next week we'll have them spend all your money on Lord of the Rings. They can't afford to day shipping anymore. It's a good joke for probably a dozen listeners. I like it. Thank you, Please please write it and let me know you like. So we have new markers, any racers on the way? Question one. The topic is fishing, and as always this will be multiple choice. This first great question comes to you is

via Colton Munsik. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com. What was the world's most harvested fish in and this is measured in tons? Was it yellow fin tuna, sardine, atlantic cod or anchovi? Again? What was the world's most harvested fish in seventeen? And this is measured by tons? Yellow fin tuna, sardine, atlantic cod, or anchovie. That's a great question, man, good

question from Colton. That's a great question. Everybody. Good, go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Steve saying sardine, Maggie Huddlar, Maggie Hudlar saying cod, Corey saying cod, Hayden saying sardine. Chest you're saying anchovie, Marge saying sardine, Karin saying sardine. The correct answer is anchovies than yeah, caesar salads. Man, It's in a lot of stuff because I have to look for it. Wow, it's got to be like for peg, a lot of visual oil things like that. But that

that's why, that's why I made that. I was like, it's in more stuff than people would think because I have a good job. They were nearly putting the blaster back into Chester and bleaster like he's a bless in my game. They were nearly was gone. I thought it was done. Yeah, show here. There were nearly four tons of Peruvian anchovi he harvested in seen according to the

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This is followed by three point five tons of Alaska pollock, two point eight tons of skip jack tuna and one point eight tons of atlantic herring. Your other three options of yellow fin tunas, sardine, and atlantic cod, we're all in the top ten. M hmm, that's great question. Question question to the topic is biology. How many months is the incubation period for a wild turkey? How many months is

the incubation period for a wild turkey? So a few quick answers in the room, folks that knew this. Steve, you know this one. Don't talk about later. Chester here had the quickest answer, I think in the room. I don't. I don't. I just guess pretty much based off of what I've seen. Again looking for a number here, how many months is the incubation period for a wild turkey? Maggie, I've never seen so much erasing two questions in got an answer? Is this a trick question? Go ahead and

reveal your answers. We have Steve saying one, Maggie saying five, Corey saying one, Hayden saying one, Chester saying one, Maggie Smith saying two, and Karin saying, which is not the correct answer is one? Would you write? Chester were neck and neck? Almost really quick Steven because he was writing an email Steve, are you aware that you are making it to the finals no matter what happen? By Yeah? But why is that? Because like, if this, I'm either

going to win my way in or not. In sports ball, like the two best teams will often get a bye and so Bro, he gotta buy. On the first time, I didn't know what that word was when you were using it. What the bye bye? That's new to you? If I can't win my way in, I'm that player. Okay, alright, Steve is not accepting to buy. We'll see If he is, it's gonna backfire spectacularly. Turkeys will on average lay twelve eggs,

which takes a hand about two weeks to do. Once the final egg is laid, the incubation period begins, which lasts about twenty eight to thirty days. During this stretch, the hen will only leave the nest for very short periods to eat and drink, and unlike the other eleven months out of the year, she won't roost in a tree at night. HM. Question three, the topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Caleb McClane.

If you have a question you think is right for meat Eater trivia, you can send it to trivia at the meat eater dot com. What state has the most fourteen ers which are mountains with an elevation of at least fourteen thousand feet? What state has the most fourteen ers which are mountains with an elevation of at least fourteen thousand feet? Again, some fast answers in the room with a couple of confident players. Does everybody have an answer? I think I'm making a dumb mistake, but I'm gonna

stick with it. That's a good idea. Looking for the state's probably want to erase answer and another one. Everybody, go ahead and via your answers, we have Steege's Like, the more I think about it, See saying Colorado, Meggie saying Alaska, Corey saying Colorado, Hayden saying Colorado, Cheshire saying Colorado, Marge saying Colorado, and Corin saying Colorado. They got it. The correct answer is Colorado. Can you maybe when you go through the edit, Phil, can you maybe have him

say Colorado. Yeah, I was just gonna here. Here's here's one you can use Colorado. Got it? Just feel it, you know what I mean? Of course, ye, I'll do that. There are nineties six fourteeners in America, all of which are west of the Mississippi River. Colorado has the most with fifty three. That's followed by Alaska with twenty nine, California with twelve, and Washington with two. In Illinois with zero, Wait, is that like a South Dakota accent Colorado? I don't know.

I'm just getting it wrong Illinoisso to see if I was getting a lot of feedback about the way you say Appalachia, people didn't like, uh, however that was coming off. What I do is all to stop saying it all together so that I have no more use for the state where Denver is located. Question for the topic is foraging. Tweet lahoche is an edible mushroom that only grows on what plant? What bro I had that before you stopped asking the question? Tweet lahoche is an edible mushroom that

only grows on what plant? What tweet lahoche? You ship? You have gonna spell it for you? H U I t l A c O c h E tweet lahoche maln word I got it wrong? Is an edible mushroom that only grows on what plant? Like a very specific plant specific is you think you need to plants trees like wheetweet lache. Man, that's tough. Chess is pitching a perfect game? You think you got this one. No, I don't have an answer yet, Spencer. I'm gonna guess. Hayden knew it right off the bat, but the rest of

the room not very competent. You might have to edit that. Man, I'm not gonna happen. I don't edit, Steve out. A lot of editing happening in this episode. Does everybody have an answer? Dude? A great question? But how could I just have? Like, well, yeah, I just seems like something out heard about everybody. Good, go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Steve saying what does that say? Opinion, Maggie Hudler saying corn, Corey saying tree, Hayden saying corn, chest, you're saying fern, Maggie Smith saying cactus, and Crin saying cactus. We're in the same mental. We have a correct answer in the room. It's corn. Were are you telling me that your mother you used to pick that? Oh, Christine, I just guessed and said fern. Cweet Lahoche is more

commonly known as corn smut or corn truffle. It's a farmer's nightmare in a forger's dream that shows up when corn plants are stressed by events like wind, hail or dropped. For more on how to find and cook this mushroom, read my article in the Meatta dot com called the twelve best edible wild mushrooms. Man, that's embarrassing. Man, never even heard of it. You don't know what corn smut is. Christine's mother picks a bunch of it, and she Christine told me about like you knew a lot when she

was a kid. Yeah, it's like a real delicacy in Mexico too. That's where the wheat l che name comes from. When I was in high school, I got to fight with my girlfriend. She took my keys from my truck and whipped the way out into a corn field. You were probably waiting to re seede. Never found head to walk home get the spars? Did you have any hope that that would be? That seems like an impositive task. Look taking Shorty the spot today. Question five. We'll get

a scoreboard update from Phil after this. The topic is conservation. Name one of the five most visited zoos in America. In name one of the five most visited zoos in America in and for the purpose of this question, I'm not counting Disney's Animal Kingdom or Bush Gardens Tampa. Those are theme parks. I was so close to putting Bush Gardens Tampa. Does everybody haven't answered? Looking for one of the five most visited zoos in America in sixteen? Phil?

Have you taken in Disney's Animal Kingdom? I've been to Disney World one time. I did not go to Animal Kingdom, though, why not? Time and money man? Not while you're there? No focused on its spent my time in Galaxy's Edge instead hanging out with Chewbacca and Darth Vader good on everybody. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Atlanta was playing a concert in Atlanta? And Korean saying Miami Zoo. Trying to think of a city playing a shoulder exactly? What's a big You have no idea? The five most visited zoos are Lincoln Park Zoo, st Louis Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Houston Zoo, and Columbus Zoo. I think Lincoln Park Zoo was the most visited zoo in sixteen

with three point six million visitors. That's followed by the St. Louis Zoo with three point five million, San Diego Zoo with three point three million, Houston Zoo with two point five million, and Columbus Zoo with two point four million. Just missing the top five are the National Zoo in Washington, d C. Which Maggie said, the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, the Bronx Zoo in New York, which Steve said, the

Como Park Zoo in Minneapolis, and the Denver Zoo. Accredited zoo support more than two thousand, five hundred conservation projects in one hundred thirty countries. I might take that I was gonna say. I think about it now that I've had We're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us an update, Phil, We'll do with one point a piece. We have Maggie Smith, Maggie Headlo, and Karin Schneider. Coming up. Next in the train is Steven Ronnella with two points.

Still top four. Corey and Chester have three points Apiece and Hayden samg is in first place. What a game are you nervous at all? Steve? I nervous. I'm talking about question six.

How are you feeling about this? Not not great an answer? Sure, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Kentucky, Meg Kentucky, Corey saying Pennsylvania, Hayden saying Kentucky, Chester, You're saying Pennsylvania, Marche saying Pennsylvania, and Karin saying West Virginia.

The correct answer is Kentucky. Kentucky has approximately fourteen thousand elk, which is more than every other state east of the Mississippi River combined. They nearly have as many elk as Nevada, and actually have more ELK than states like Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and California. Question seven, the topic is biology. How many legs do lobsters have? How many legs do lobsters have? Do clause counts legs? Not giving you any

further information? I gotta checked. I gotta text my wife again. How many legs do lobsters have? We're just staring at some lobsters. You got lobsters upstairs. We were lobster diving and we were even talking about like weird parts of that. It's an even number. Did everybody have an answer? How many legs do lobsters have? What? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying eight, Maggie Hudla saying eight, Corey saying eight, Hayden saying six, Chester saying eight, March

saying six, Grin saying seven. She went the grain with an odd number. Nobody got it right. The correct answer is ten. Lobsters are classified as decapods, which means they're ten footed. The front two legs, which are also known as their pincers, are considered non walking legs. The other four sets of legs, which are their walking legs, are smaller and located under the carapace. Question eight. The topic

is fishing. This world famous fishing lure, which is very popular among ice anglers, is named after a Nordic country and unsightly skin condition. Dude, Steve thinks it's a race.

No, no, Corey and I have fished together with these one more time. This world famous fishing lure, which is very popular among ice anglers, is named after a Nordic country and unsightless skin condition.

I don't think everybody have an answer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying the Swedish pimple. Maggie sang the Swedish pimple, Swedish pimple, Swedish pimple, Swedish pimple margin. Karin without an answer, wrote Danish Danish blank, I can see catching some big old lungs a Danish twist.

Did you change your pastry? And the correct answer what you eat exactly? It is a Swedish pimple. What does that look like? It's a type of spoon, basically a spoon with like a little like red or yellow flapper, a little silk, a little silver, looks like something you'd hang on the earring. And the pimple is a little red finisher. Sorry forgetting that wrong. That's the name of the fishing. The pimple look like it's a little red blode. I'm guessing it's like a little there's a little red

blade on top. Yellow. No, I mean the skin condition. What is the skin looks? You know what a pimple is? Oh? Wait, are you are you? Are you asking if there's a skin condition called having Swedish pimples? No, the country. Plus, that's right, Swedie. If you had a Swede and you're pointed to it, who's the famous person from Sweden? Do we know any Oh that isn't Greta Thunberg. There's one, yeah, yeah,

pimple It would be a Swedish pimp. Swedish pimples have been used in Sweden for over one hundred years to catch both fresh water and saltwater fish. The company highly recommends babe Swedish pimples with the eye of a perch because they have a strong odor and require a hard bite for the fish to get them off the hook. Who was recently comparing how many social media followers Greta Thunberg has versus someone her age who is one of the Kardashians, and he's like, what are what are people

actually interested in here? I've learned something about that. Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. I remember the top four people are moving on to the championship episode. That's right, and because of that little twist there, we actually have want to the five people left in the game. We have Maggie Hudlow who has three points, Steve Corey and Chester I'll have four points apiece and Hayden is uh running away with it with

six points currently. So well, here's the yeah, Maggie has a chance to slip in there. Of one questions, why not question nine. The topic is wildlife. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Kanaan Grove for sending this great question. Kanan is going to get a signed copy of the Meat Eater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival. If you want a chance to win our listener question in the week, then send your

question to Trivia at the meat eater dot com. Besides a bald eagle name one of the other five wild animals featured on an American passport. Besides a bald eagle name one of the other five wild animals featured on an American passport. Mm hmm, I should have looked harder. That's a great question, man. That is why it's our listener question of the week. Nobody knew this one right off the bat, so we're just getting some educated guesses.

Marche believes that she knows she knew this one right off the bed, just knew it flat out just looking at my past word day, I think Okay, I'm changing my mind. I believe I'm I'm team Marge. I think you got it. Can I get one more? Right? Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Steve saying American bison, Maggie sang bison, Corey sang bear, Hayden saying bison, Chester saying rattlesnake, Marge saying

bison and saying wolf. The correct answers are bison, grizzly, seagull, salmon, and geese. No rattlers, no rattlesnakes. How is he in the like? Is there? I mean it's very important, very tight. Right now, there's seven species of bear in the world. I didn't mean banda bear. I don't know it's good enough, however you quantify though I don't. I don't think we're gonna take bear. I'm never taking you fishing again. Were im What kind of bear do you have in mind?

An American bear? I don't think understand as a dog. During offered if you ever needed During offered, yeah, yeah, you do, job, but no dog. Durt offered like a totally like neutral, which I don't believe. Well, I think we'd have to not tell him who gave the ANSWER's a good point, and then he could be neutral. Did you call him? I think in this case, but it's a here's the thing, it's a wildlife question, and it's like we're dealing like with brass tacks here. So so

you would say no, it's not accepting. It would be a better trivia game if you said no. We're saying the answer is no, it doesn't that count. Why didn't put a seagull on that? You'll find a bald eagle on page That's a good point because how many species of seagulls are there? But there are only two bears in like North America, so he's just as wrong. Really black bears. Yeah, I wasn't really counting polar bears. But well it's North America. It's a bad Okay, okay, fine.

You'll find a bald eagle on page three, twelve and thirteen, a seagull on page eleven, bison on page thirteen, a flock of geese on page sixteen, and a grizzly eating a salmon on page twenty four. You know, I got a question for you. Is there a person on there? There are some humans, so what if I it was a smartass and wrote human on our hands. But I wouldn't say it's a wild animal. I said wild animal because besides those wild animals, an American passport also features

images of oxen, long horns and horses. I know some humans that are kind of pretty fair, Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We have one question left to decide who the four people are that move on to our championship next week. I love this. We've got a Maggie, Hedlo, Corey, and Chester all four points appear. Steve has five and Hayden has seven. Oh Rich, I think there's gonna be a tiebreaker. We could have a four person tiebreaker to determine who's making it. Already want it? I could falter,

they could all rise. Question ten, the topic is cooking. This state officially lists chili as its state dish, halapino as its state, pepper peacans as its state nut, and tortilla chips and salsa as its state snack. What is it? This state officially lists chili as its state dish, helapino as its state, pepper peacans as its state nut, and tortilla chips and salsa as its state snack. What state Is it a lot on the line for this final question?

You talking about pecans? Guys changes it? Does everybody have an answer? Looking for the state? Everybody good, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Texas, Texas, Texas, Hayden saying Oklahoma, Chester saying New Mexico, Marche saying Texas, and Caren saying Texas. The correct answer is Texas, which I believe makes Chester our loser. Maggie, Hudlow, Corey and Hayden in the next round. Is that right, Phil? You are correct chester Chester. You know what, dude, I was

with you till I got to thinking about pecans. Yeah, and that's what because like Jesse Griffith, all fired up about pecans all time, and they're selling them on the side of the road there and their native to that area, Chili Chili's. And I was like, but I've never seen a Pican in New Mexico. They might be there, but it's not like a big deal. Second, yeah, I'm not gonna lie. I thought about Texas too, and I was

just watching Maggie play. I was I was reminded of the of the face off between the Soviets and America and the Olympics and ice hockey? Man, do you believe in honor? I was big. I just tanked. I think we had Maggie had one right through the first five, and I think Chester started off three for three. Maybe yeah, he was throwing a perfect game. Yeah, it was it. Locker, did you get cocky or means just the Kurt Russell of the company, Everyone's yeah, that's right. It Also, Hayden

is our winners? Is this first ever victory? Pretty forward victory? How many you get? Eight? Right? Seven? That's great? Hey, Then you get to choose where the five donation goes. So what's it going to be? Can I pick a specific chapter of an organization? I would like to donate to the Gallatin chapter of Trout and Limited. What do you like about that that they like Trout? That's good, that's like and it's like it's we're in like a mecca fly Fish and so it's like kind of like

the heart of it. So I don't know, it's good. Congrats on your first one. We have Hayden, Steve, Maggie, and Corey moving on to the final episode next week. Tune in there for more Meat Eater Trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins.
