Ep. 424: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia LII

and there is a prize. Meat Eater will donate five hundred dollars to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing for the stat of the week. This week we're looking at the Shelby Index. Shelby is my wife, and as someone who isn't much of a subject matter expert, she tends to get about half as many questions right as the winner, but usually more than some people in the room. That does happen, Yeah, quite often, As that's my number to hit, she would be like a like a she'd

be like a pretty good player there. There was one episode actually where she had gotten six and our winner had gotten six, and then when I went home, I gave her the tiebreaker and she beat Yannie on the tiebreaker. Wow, so that's happened one time, she'd be like a pretty legit player. Now. I introduced this barometer last year is a way to gauge how difficult rounds of trivia are. And here are the results. The Shelby index has been dead nuts nine out of nineteen episodes, which is forty

seven percent of the time. Her average score for those nineteen episodes was three point eight, while the average winning score for those episodes was a seven point three. That means her average score is fifty two percent of the average winning score, so it's pretty close. I think I

got lost. So her average on those nineteen episodes was three point eight and the average winning score on those episodes was seven point three, So she's getting fifty two percent of the amount of points that our winner gets. That's what you always say, That's what I say. But now we have the data to prove there's just an adulto before now we know it's it's there. Here's our zero percent question in the week. This is a question

that nobody got right from episode three forty nine. Here it is, according to Anthony Bourdain, you should never order seafood from a restaurant on what day of the week Monday, Monday. You're right. The incorrect answers we had given that episode were Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The correct answer, though, was Monday. That was a quote from Bourdain's two thousand book, which he later retracted, saying that seafood markets and restaurants standards

have changed in the last two decades. Now, we also have some housekeeping to get you before we play. In a previous game of trivia, I asked what gender specific term refers to an uncastrated adult male horse. The correct answer was stallion, but about a dozen listeners wrote in asking if I'd also accept stud. I'd looked it up, and the definition of a stud is quote a stallion kept especially for breeding. So if you said stud, I'd

consider that a correct answer. I don't think we had anybody in the room though, who said stud that day. If you hadn't been right now, Tennessee used to what's that song? Just listening going? Johnny Cash a bunch of um? Maybe I think he wrote it? Probably not um. What's his name, don Doc Watson? Maybe no, probably not. It's probably older Chester. Tell us about that hat you look like you wrote in on a Tennessee stud I didn't um just to clarify, but Steve got me a beaver hat.

It's really nice, warm, good ice fishing hair. Yeah, there's gonna be sweat rolling down in the face at the end of this. Well, he's gonna be pulling, like all those hairs pull information out of the atmosphere. Man. Yeah, a little an tennis dude. If I win today, I'm wearing this for every single man. My kid just said, like, at my kids' school, they have a project where they got to bring in a thousand or something like a collection to one thousand of something. What are some examples

of what other kids are doing? Real standard? I had a big patch of deer hide about eighteen inches square that a dude gave me that was from a melanistic deer, so you would like, like just not eat, like off the edge. I took a pair of fly tie and scissors and just off the edge, removed a thousand hairs off the edge, countered them what I think. No, No, we made a pile of one hundred, and then we eyeballed that pile real careful and made nine more piles

that looked exactly the same as that pile. So then he brought those in the baggy, but with the hunk of deer hide, and he's like, here's my collection. No, I ask you how many hairs around this fun this chunk? How many hairs around this chi? No twitch. The answers be like millions. I don't know. A million. Yeah, that's a thousand thousand. Easy, m that's pretty cool. That's just a little hunka hid. It's different. Did you feel bad cutting hair off? The melanistic You don't understand. It's like

you can't tell. It was just like we went along the edge. It was like an inch of hair, wasn't that We went along the edge like you would you could just with one little tip of the just went along the edge. You can't tell, like there's a border. We just went along the one, not even like one wall of one border. And did he get some light ones in there or not? No, it's like it's pretty dark. Good on you. M hmm. Now, Also in a previous game, I was just thinking, um, this, this may not be right.

But I remember I recall reading or hearing that the fur on a seal is so dense that there's twenty thousand hairs per square inch. I think I think otters may have the densest good on you, Brody. We had some of you write in suggesting that is a trivia question as to what mammal has the densest hair um and I tried to check you feel about the sources. Well, the reason we wound up with that deer. If you wanted to actually hear more about this, we tried it

with Kyle. Impossible, impossible, it's too fine to deal with. There's so much of it. You can't. It's like impost you could never it would you can't do it. We looked at we looked at a muskrat, we looked at a kyo, we looked at a skunk's tail. And the reason we had to go with that deer is because you can't. You can't, like, yeah, you take a little snip of it. You can't. You're like, I don't know thousands, Yeah, wow,

I wonder how many fibers there is in a turkey beard. Now, if we did Brody's head, dude, we'd had the whole damn head, you would have got to a thousand. That his beard, I don't know, man, Well, that's what I can't get over about that hat. Of chesters. Is it looks as much like a beaver wig as it does a hat. Perfect It's good, big old buck teeth now now. Also in a previous game, we learned that squirrels cause the most power outages in America and that jellyfish are

also near the top of the list. Steve wanted to know how jellyfish can pull that off, so I looked it up and here's what I found. Jellyfish can cause major power outages by getting clogged in the intake pipes of power plants. This can happen worldwide, but the most extreme example was in the Philippines in nineteen ninety nine. That's where a bloom of jellyfish is drifted too close to a coal power plant and got sucked into its pumps.

The event knocked out power for forty million people and wasn't remedied until cleanup crews extracted fifty tons of jellyfish from the plants pipes. A bloom of jelly, bloom of jellyfish. I'd read that they can be a swarm, a bloom, or a swat or something like that. And there's some weird group names from how about a group of rhinos do you know what that is. That was a real popular poster for a while, but I can't remember what it is to crash crash. That's good, but that's not

a question for today either, Randall. So nope, I'm kind of screwed. What he got a trivia question for you? In terms of pounds consumed per person per annum in America, per annum per year. Okay, pounds consumed per person per year in the United States, what do you think the top four classifications of fish are. It's probably small stuff um like anchovies, sardines, pollock. Nope, tuna, god god tuna, salmon, ba tilapia number four. Let's get catfish number four. Camfish

aren't the top four, So whatever is number one? Okay, shrimp? Now if you if that and shrimp was the answer, you'd argue that shrimp wasn't fish. I agree, Yeah, it's not your bugs. Tell me. I was shocked to see twappion their number four. Now, the Shelby indexpert today's episode is a three, so our winner should get about six correct answers. And with that we're onto the game of trivia played the drop filled Look, I need to know what I stand to win? Everything? How's that had just

tend to win everything? Game on sus. Question one, the topic is woodsmanship. Which of these outdoor magazines is not real? Is it? Fins and feathers, fur fish, game, game and fish or fish fur feather. You might want to write these down. Which of these outdoor magazines is not real? Fins and feathers, fur fish, game, game and fish or fish fur feather? Three of them are real, one of them is not. Again, your four choices fins and feathers, fur fish, game, game, and fish, fish fur feather. Steve,

do you know this one? Yeah? I think I do, but I got a problem. But on bring it up. It will help people, all right, Brody's still thinking? Did you write them all out? Brody? I'm writing, Okay, I'll say this. Somewhere in there, you missed a conjunction. That is, yes, conjunction junction. Remember that is everybody really Chester, go ahead and you reveal your answers. We have Steve saying fish for feather, Dan saying fish for feather, Hayden saying fish

for feather by the whole room. The whole room said fish for feather. They got it right. The correct answer is fish for feather. I still have subscriptions to the other three. You do for Fish and Game, not for Fish Game. It's for fish Game. It's a dash between each of the words for Fish Game. I still love that. I still love that magazine. Dude, When I was a kid man, that was the Yeah, I can't remember who

there for animals. Parker Dozer was Trapper Predator Caller. I can't remember who the the market analyst at fur, Fish and Game. That was a good maga. They had strictly illustrated covers, right, They didn't do photos, didn't they. I feel like they cornered the market on folks who like to trap, right, Well, yeah, but you know, Trapper and Predator Caller got good for a long time. You know. They also had a good classified section where you could

like send away for all kinds of weird stuff. You know. No, you don't remember, like the sea creature in the back, No, like Traps and Finns and Feathers was a national publication that ran from the mid nineteen seventies to late nineteen eighties. For Fish Game printed its first magazine in nineteen twenty five and still publishes twelve issues each year. Game and Fish has been around since nineteen seventy six and still

publishes twelve issues each year. Fish Fur Feather is a magazine that I made up by combining the other three titles. Question two topic is fishing. This is our listener question in the week, which was won by Caleb McClain for sending this great question. Caleb is going to get a book signed by Steve. Named two of the seven states that list the stripe bass as their official state fish. M. Name two of the seven states that list the striped bass as their official state fish. M. Good on this

crew forgetting question one right. Every looking for two of the seven states? Steve, did you ever write for for a fish game? I don't think I've ever published in fame. I thought you had your first byeline? Now who had your first byline? Predator? That question again, named two of the seven states that list the striped bass as their official state fish. Not a very confident room Randall with the quickest answer. I don't know if he's confident. He

just wants to intimidate folks. Is a doozy Randall? How you feel about this one? I feel reasonably confident. Okay, two of the seven states. M. I'm just okay. Seven, seven of them? Brodie, how you doing over there? I feel like it can only be a certain number of states, right, and seven of them, like like in a certain I'm not you know, like he said too much? He thinks does everybody have an answer? Yeah? By walking everybody? Why are you walking everybody through it? Man? I didn't. I didn't.

I could have kept going, and now I'd have ruined it. Chester, how are we doing? Not? Very good? Sam? Down here? Oh give me a sec. Okay, Steve, you think you got a chance. Oh yeah, man, I'd be shocked if I didn't get one of them right, m Chester. I'm left handed, and I always keep I just keep smearing everything. Are you ready? I'm ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying Rhode Island in New York, Dan

saying Alabama, Mississippi. Hayden sang Rhode Island, New Jersey. Brodie sang Maryland, New Jersey, Sam saying Maryland, Massachusetts, Chester saying New York, Delaware, Randall saying Massachusetts, Maryland. The seven states are Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia. I think the room did pretty well again. The seventh state's New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia. After brook trout, stripe bass

are the most common state fish in America. Maryland was the first state to declare the stripe bass their official state fish in nineteenth they I know, that's that's why I didn't put them suckers down. New Jersey is the latest state to do so, making the stripe bass their official saltwater fish in twenty seventeen. I think there are two states that designated as a rockfish, but that's a

stripe bass. You know what I'm saying. If you went, if you were in Maryland right now and you looked up their state with all their state listen ads to get what did you say, rockfish or stripe bass and get back to you later on that can. I remember sitting there and we're watching some fish crash bait in a little estuary, and you're like, I'm rockfish that hunt, yeah, yeah, yeah, smoke some of that wacky tobacco yellow eyes in their

bust and baits. Question three, the topic is conservation. Johnny Horizon and Seymour antelope are the official mascots of what federal agency? What can you read that again? What topic is conservation? Johnny Horizon and Seymour Antelope are the official mascot of what federal agency? Nobody knows this one right off the bat. Folks are just gonna be taking a stab again. Johnny Horizon and see More Antalope are the official mascots of what federal agency. Hmmmmm. Steve with a

quick answer, how you feel about it? Well, let's take a broader look. I've got a perfect game so far. Okay, two, So even if I falter right now, it's like, you know whatever, share again, Johnny Horizon and see More Antalope. No, Randall with a quick answer, Randall, do you know this? I did not. I'm just making a guess based off of context. And I'm really curious to know what Johnny Horizon looks like. Yeah, I mean kind of like Johnny Bravo, but flatter. He's very like he's very very short. He

is like very short and wide Johnny Horizon and Seymour Antelope. Sam, you're gonna come up with an answer? Yeah, I mean I think I can guess at a government agency. Okay, you'll have to do. Yea, here comes Chester. You ready, Hayden, You're ready. I'm pretty sure I just made something. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying BLM, Dan same game Commission, Hayden saying Federal Prairie Reserve, Brody saying BLM, Sam saying BLM, Chester saying National Wildlife Federation,

Randall saying BLM. Where's you guys are naming agencies? An art agencies? Yeah? Yeah, The correct answer is the Bureau of Land Management Room did perf well? Johnny Horizon was a cowboy who made his debut in nineteen sixty eight. He campaigned for pick up trash, putting out fires, and leaving gates how you found them? Johnny retired in nineteen seventy six. BLM then debuted their new mascot, Seymour Antelope

in two thousand and eight. Seymour is considered an ambassador to young people, encouraging them to connect with nature and explore public lands. Question for I think they've got a cousin shoot more. I think those are pretty good mascots for the BLM. Yeah. Question for the topic is public lands. This next great question comes to us via Carl Gustafsson. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at the mediator dot com. What state is home to the

nation's smallest national park? Which is just ninety one acres? Brody with a quick answer. Again, the question is what state is home to the nation's smallest national park? Which is just ninety one acres? Brody? Do you know this one? Well, I'm going with the answer that popped into my head. Okay, fast, no one else. Brody's got it though, again, looking for the smallest national park, which is nine in a state? Looking for you need to tell me what state it's in?

The room is struggling minus Brody? Is the perfect game going to continue? Still? No, it's not. Your confidence is like one out of fifty Is that what you think? No? Okay, you got a better chance than that. Yeah, but the one I'm thinking of is it technically so that can't be right. He wouldn't make them. I mean, he makes some dumb ass mistakes, but he wouldn't make a mistake that. I've got a one in fifty shot, okay, two percent

chance for Chester Dandy. You have an answer, I do Okay, Sam, yep, Randall, I'll just leave it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Cea saying New York, Dan saying California, Hayden saying Rhode Island, Brodie saying California. Sam saying Rhode Island. Chester, you're saying Florida, Randall saying Massachusetts. Nobody got it right. Correct answer is Missouri. Gateway Arch National Park in Saint Louis, five thousand acres, smaller than the next smallest national park,

which is Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. The Gateway Arch is six hundred thirty feet tall and six hundred thirty feet wide. He was built in nineteen sixty five and is meant to symbolize America's gateway to the West. Why is that not a monument? That is a weird one. Yeah, there's some little island off the coast at California that was a national park. Nobody, yep, did it? Was it?

Was it worth it? That Hot Springs, Arkansas. If you ride the little elevator up to the top, you can look over the beauty full scenery of western Illinois industrial plants. It's just quite gorgeous. Clint Clay's working on a bear grease about the stigmatism of Arkansas, like for a long time, Arkansas is the most ridiculed state in the nation. And to as his like in refuting that stereotype, he's spending some time on Walmart and Clinton. Now I should say

refuting it, but in complicating it. Yeah, he's getting into Walmart, Clinton and some fancy ass uh Art museum. That's some some like that episode, like complicating Factors of Arkansas. You know they came out. Yeah, it came out at the at the time of recording, so on March eighth. Oh there you go, go listen to it. Yet proud of Walmart, dude. Clay one time was telling us about Walmarts, Like Walmarts

someone that works in manufacturing and supply. I was telling us about how good Walmart is about ensuring worker conditions overseas. Clay perched right up, dude, he was glowing. He's like, can you tell us again about Walmart? That's fine. I get giddy now when I encountered just a regular Walmart instead of a super Walmart. Every now and then, I feel like in the Midwest or the South, you come across one just a regular old Walmart without the grocery store.

It's a real treat and there's like a time traveled. Yeah, Walmart's pulling out of Portland. Why you know when you see an article, you don't read it. Question? Fine, I always start because I always tell me about Reddit. I'm gonna start changing what I say at headline question. I was reading about the article in the headline, The topic is cooking. This cheese, which is often used in lasagna, has a name that means recooked in Italian. Quick answer

from the entire rooms. Maybe one hundred percent correct. Like the first question, This cheese, which is often used in lasagna, has a name that means recooked in Italian. Definitely didn't spell it right, Okay, is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers. Ricotto, rico, ricotta, ricotta chester. That's one of the more off. You're gonna do a little time. It was one of the more done. Yeah, everybody says

like ricotta is correct. Ricotta cheese is made by recooking the way left over from making other cheese, which is often mozzarella. It can be used as a substitute for cottage cheese, cream cheese, and mayo If you want a great lasan your recipe that uses it, then go to the Meat Eater dot com and check out Lucas Leaf's recipe for venison fennel lasagna. Steve, when else do you

use ricata besides lasagna? Give me an example, omelets. Yeah, but you'd use it in other things that involve You'd use it in other concoctions that involve like some sort of pasta and tomato kind of thing. Uh. I don't like that question. Okay, right, how bad could it be? Fel we are halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update. Sure thing, No one's running away with the game. Um, but we have Chester and Dan tied up with two points. Sam, Randall and Hayden have

three points apiece and tied for first place. Four points are Stephen Brodie. Yeah, I got to take advantage of a one point lead over Randall. Man. Well, he came in hot. You know. A long time ago. I told my wife this, I said, Randall won't admit it, but one percent of the reason that he's moving here so he can play Meat Eater Trivia. And then last episode Randall says, yeah, I'm just moving here, so I can play Meat Eater Trivia and now I don't think it's

a joke anymore. Randall, I don't. I don't know that it has like a cause of effect. But okay, certainly like confirm that. I'm like, it's not that far. Question six, the topic is hunting. This next great question comes to is via Jeff James. 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. This is a visual question. If you want to see what the room is seeing, then go to Instagram and check

out at Spencer Newharth. I'll make it my most recent post. This former NASCAR driver is famous for wearing cowboy hats that often feature pheasant feathers, rattlesnake skins, and racoon vaculums. Pass that around the rim again. This former NASCAR driver is famous for wearing cowboy hats that often feature pheasant feathers, rattlesnake skins, and raccoon vaculums. Randall and Brody didn't even need the picture. I've seen that guy a million I know, Brody,

is it who you thought it was? If? I? Yeah, thanks, I mean Hopefully I'm remember remembering his name right again, It's not Mario and Reddy is This former NASCAR driver is famous for wearing cowcar that often feature pheasant feathers, rattlesnake skins, and raccoon vaculums. We will do Jeopardy rules. If you have the last name, will take that. You don't need first name. I don't really know Nascar, Okay, I would suspect that Brody and Randall don't know NASCAR either,

but they might recognize this fellow. Oh yeah, dude, make a movie about this guy. I don't know Ricky Bobby an Yeah, I recognize the Dickens. Can't remember his damn name? Man, I know Randall? Is that who you thought it was? I believe so, con unless I'm getting the name wrong. If I want to see this and his hat to check out at Spencer New Hearth, what are you seeing on those hats there, Steve, he's looking for the guy's initials, Oh, any indicators of who he is? An embroidered shirt has

been blurred out. What's this saying, Steve? That you say? Is it like your hat? Personality? Can't be Never wear a hat that says hello before you do, okay or no, no, never were Yeah, never wear I have to have more personality while Chester's sitting here in a beaver hat. But I don't think that that violates that because I'll wear one of those. But I would never be able to wear like that crazy ass hat that guy's got on. I would say that the beaver had says hello, before

you do that, I think so too. I mean, in a podcast studio he does says I'm a practical fella who knows how to trap. Does everybody have an answer for who this former NASCAR driver is? Oh? Oh, okay, I just it just occurred to me. Was this divine or humunculous? What happened? Let that one go on a long time in incha spencer, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve saying petty, Dan saying Richard Petty, Hayden saying Rick, Thomas Brody saying Petty, Sam saying Earnhart, Chester's

saying Dale, Earnhart, Randall saying Richard Petty. The correct answer is Richard Petty. God just canny be light like it floored through Chester's hat to me, right right out of it. Terry, Yeah, like you know, someone gets struck by lightning and like he does a gazape with the dude next him does because like the information came into Chester's fur hat flowed

down the table on my leg into my head. Although Petty's racing career began in nineteen sixty eight and he didn't start wearing the famous Charlie one horse hats until nineteen eighty, the flamboyant hats made him a fan favorite, helping him win the Most Popular Driver Award nine times. Petty's hat is so iconic that a signed version is on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. We're gonna get back to hunting fishing on the next question,

Question seven. The topic is fishing. What body of water is often referred to as floored is in and see? What body of water is often referred to as Florida's inland. See quick answers from most of the room. Did not take into account that Steve got off a plane from Florida yesterday? Is that gonna help you? Well? No, because no one told me that. I think he might have known this before he again, what body of water is often referred to as Florida's inland Sea. Does everybody have

an answer? Okay, I was writing it down very confident, room Chester, Would you just add there to your whiteboard, just the letter go ahead, answers okay Choby, Dan saying Okabojee, which is in Iowa. Hayden Sang says that body sang Eld Sam saying, boy, these there are some creative spelling. Sam saying Oka Chobe. Chester saying Okachobe. No, what did that say? Let's see it, Okadobe, Okachobe. I Okay, oka Chobe. Randall saying Oka Chobe. They got it. The correct answer

is lake Okachobe. Were right? Seriously, I don't think we're gonna give it to Dan who said a lake that is an isola. I think he's saying of Lake Okabogie, which is in the northwest corner of the state. I believe Brodie said the Everglades, which is not right. The Everglades are not the same as Lake Okeechobee is the head of the Everglades. It's right. At seven hundred thirty four square miles, Okachobee is the tenth largest natural freshwater

lake in the United States. It's a relatively young lake, forming just six thousand years ago when ocean waters receded from the minor depression that is the lake bed. Amazingly, the average depth of Lake Okochobee is nine feet and the deepest part is thirteen feet. I was on that mother liquor last week. Yeah, we had a we had an airbnb and there's this uh what river was that?

Uh Caloosa Hatchie which connects to Controlby And we were out there trying to catch some bass and Steve said, we never would catch a bass, And did you Chris, Chris Gill caught a bucket? Now what happened? Okay, it's not okay side of the story. Do you want to hear my side of the story. Yeah, there's a little dock on the river and there's some cattail ponds, and they come back all excited going to Walmart buy a rod for twenty two bucks and buy a bunch of

ten inch artificials. And I went down there to survey the situation as the kind of place you can't dock. Hop you got one damn doc Okay, And I just said, I don't think that's how I was going to go down. Give us some specifics, chatter of what you guys purchased. We purchased a spinning rod. Okay, we um Shakespeare, just a standard Shakespeare. Yeah, just like a real cheap twenty three dollars spinning round with mono. Gil said he's never

going back to good rods. I can guarantee you I'm going back to good And what were these artificial lures that you had? It was just a big long eight inch worm. And we were Texas, so they had a bullet sinker. They had like a bullet sinker there in a big old text. And they should have got some live shower. So I told him, and I came up with a fishing quote. I said, you're fishing the way you wish the world was, yes, and not the way the world is. Yeah. And I said, you go get

some crawlers. I'll show you some fish, which they did, and then they started breaking and everything under the sun. I love that about Okachelby is they're unabashed by using bobbers and live bait. That's like a standard guiding guy. And he was booking a client. I was with a bass guy. We were out in his airboat. We went shooting toil, happy with our bows. But he got a hall and was booking a client and the client is Pan Captain Bob Stafford. The client is panned to go

out bober fishing with shiners. Great, yeah, man, that's thirty to forty thirty to forty bass days. It's awesome. Circle hooks and he's off. He's on some body water just north Oak Choby catch and release only circle hooks on live bait. Is it an amazing to look out over that whole sea and think that at thirteen feet it's the deepest it gets? Question? We caught talapia, catfish and a large mouth and were those all on the barber rooms as well? Yes? How big? Some folks called Steve

Rigg how big basking like a eighteen seventeen eighteen inch? Ye? Good bucket mouth. Well, when they come running back from there to day or they're they're going to get some sixteen pounders out of the Question eight, The topic is conservation. White nose syndrome is a disease that's killed millions of these animals in the last decade. Is not any way for you to finish? And did a couple other folks

equaled Steve's confidence? Again? The question is white nose syndrome is a disease that's killed millions of these animals in the last decade. I think in the race between Brody, Steve and Randall, Steve one with the quickest answer. Randall and Brody also look quite confident. It's his question eight. After this we will get a scoreboard update. Maybe we should do a version of trivia with the buzzer deal.

Whoever rings in verse? Well, we did the holiday edition that was right, family feud, but then it gets into it gets complicated because you ring and you're wrong, and I don't know. I think I think at some point this year we're gonna try something where you have to wager throughout the game. You can wage point. We'll see if we like it or not. What do you mean, like I have five final sty but do it throughout

the game again? Question eight? The topic is conservation. White nose syndrome is a disease that's killed millions of these animals in the last decade. How specific do we have to get Do you think the answer is whitetail deer? You can just say, dear, huh, well, how long do people have? Because I got a little announcement to make go ahead, if anyone out there has a print of Eric von Schmidt's Here Fell Custer. Can you send Spencer note? Why why is that? I want it for the new studio? Okay,

send it to Trivia at the meat eater dot com. Kyle, he's been trying to track one down for me, but it's hard to find. What's it called again? Here Fell Custer by Eric von Schmidt, Here Fell you know where to get it? Send its Tribua one Trivia the meat eater dot Com. We got room for it. Does everybody have an answer? Go ahead and reveal your answer. If Steve saying bets, Dan saying mink, Hayden saying fish, Brodie saying bets, Sam saying bets, Chester saying possums bets. But

he didn't even say possums. It was singular, he said critter, just one of the millions of possums. The correct answer is bats. White nose syndrome was discovered in America in two thousand and six. It arrived here from Europe or Asia and has been devastating bat populations ever since. It's estimated that about seven million bats have died from the fungal disease in the last fifteen years, and biologists now consider it the greatest threat to North America's native bats.

Fell give us a scoreboard update. We have two questions left. We must say goodbye to Hayden, Van and Chet, who played valiantly but no longer in the running. Sam has five points, Randall and Brody have six, and in first place is Steve with seven points. Two questions. Anybody's game? Man? I could falter question nine is cooking? That? Listen? If you'd have called it sooner, I would have been I was already savoring that point. Oh man, So the topic

is cooking. What coastal American city is famous for its hot dogs that are served with cream, cheese and sauteed onions? What coastal American city? What coastal American city is famous for its hot dogs that are served with cream, cheese and sauteed onions. Randall looks like he might make up some ground here. Do you some kind of hot What does that mean exactly? They just taste great? Isn't this

our second hot dog question? They serve them in places we had a question about red snappers probably a month ago. This one, though, is what coastal American city is famous for its hot dogs that are served with cream cheese. And this is where I feel the cooking questions wander way outside the focus of this. How famous? If you google cream cheese hot dog, every single result is going to be this. There is a famous There is a restaurant in town that sells one of these, and it

is called the Blank Dog. It's it's it's the thing. Is everybody ready the blank Dog? A sere? Yeah? Are they Randall? Have you had one of these dogs? He's hints only a few, though, Are they good? Favorite? We're really helping out the room like that question. We got a lot going on here. There's a lot on the line, mind you. It's a tight game. Does everybody have an answer? I just need to beat Shelby. Shelby an exis three. We've already surpassed that with Steve's seven and two questions

to go, Brodie? Are you gonna get this one? I have no idea? Okay, but I'm still thinking it's everybody ready? M Brody? Nope? God, I'm struggling to see what this question has to do with anything. Yeah, well, it's about it. It's a regional preparation, just like we talk about lobster rolls from wild game recipe coming up has plenty of hot dog and saucage recipes. All right, what rodya ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Steve, what's

that say? Saying Philly, Dan saying Philly, Hagen saying Coney Island. Brodie sang Boston, Sam saying Atlantic City Chester. You're saying Seattle. Randall sang Seattle. The correct answer is Seattle to Handle and Chester. I lived in Seattle, dude. I think that says more about you than Seattle. Here's why the sea was invented in Pioneer Square in the late nineteen eighties. It became a late night staple for food carts to sell to bargoers, becoming the unofficial drunk food of the

Emerald City. The hot dog is typically a Polish sausage that split down the middle and served on a toasted pretzel bun. Did you have a Seattle dog in Seattle? Yes? Did you get it like off a food cart at a ballgame, a restaurant? What was going on? I don't remember. They all kind of run together. I've had a couple of them, and not my favorite. I'm more of a traditional mustard ketchup onions relish guy and Phil as our

person from the Pacific Northwest. What's your familiarity with a Seattle But it's the best hot dog I've ever had, was a Seattle dog. Really just it's so indulgent, it's it's it's really really good. And do you just do like a classic cream cheese and sautet on? That's it? Pull of sausage, cream cheese? What brody? Right now? The pretzel bun is baked too Chester? Did you know that? Are you just guessing? Did you cheat off Randall? I didn't.

I didn't cheat, Okay. I I was gonna guess Portland or Seattle because I feel like I've just heard that like Portland dog, Seattle dog, and I just guess Seattle. I know what's funny, man, I put down all side of that, put down an on a coastal. But yeah, I was. I was thinking of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia tea party man, and Philadelphia cream cheese. When I saw the two Philly answers, I'm like, man, I am pretty ignorant about that part of the country, not knowing that. I

don't even want to. I got to I got to focused on cream cheese and not focused the same, Phil. We have one question left, where to folks stand, it's a good one. We've got Brody with six points and tied up in first place. Now are Randall and Steve question ten? The topic is still you need these other two to get it wrong and you to get it right. Oh that's this. Next great question comes to is via Kevin Noak. If you have a question you think is right from meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to

triviat to meat eater dot com. Kevin, I'm gonna kick your ass. I don't get this right. How many states east of the Rocky Mountains have huntable populations of mule deer? Come on? Is that? What's to come on? You don't like the questions? Does the state have to have? What if the state has Rocky Mountains in it? Well, then that wouldn't be east of the Rocky Mountains. Yeah, would now, so the entire state has the east of the Rocky Mountains? Yes?

Probably looking for how many states east of the Rocky Mountains have huntable populations of mule deer? Just looking for a number, Just looking for a number. Brody, how do you feel about this one? You need pretty good? As my definition of east of the Rocky Mountains is correct? Okay? This this takes quite a bit of knowledge about where mule deer live, where the Rocky Mountains are, etc. Good on you if you get this right again? How many states east? This is more like? This is more of

a tiebreaker, Buddy, it's more of a tiebreaker. I think. I think you'll be surprised at how well folks do with this question. Randall, how do you feel about this one? I think I'm plus or minus three, okay, I'm cluser minus one okay. And Brody thinks he has it. This is shaping up for maybe a three way tiebreaker. Does everybody have an answer? Listen, man, it should be like name blank, number of them. You can't expect people just to have this right. We'll see. I think it's reasonable.

Does everybody have an answer? Did you just change a da chang? Okay, Hayden's changing his. It's non consequential. I'm out go ahead and reveal your answer. We have Steve saying five, Dance saying four, Hayden sang four, Brody sang six, Sam saying five, Chester saying four. Randall saying, is that a four or nine? That's a four? From five, Randy saying four. We have a correct answer in the room. It's six sending us. I think that's what you means.

States extend from Canada to Mexico. They are North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Mule deer are occasionally reported in states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri, but they are often young bucks that wandered in from neighboring states to the west. Man, if I wrote down Oklahoma over, did you did you not think they had mule deer? Did you forget about Oklahoma? Did you think I went there? I didn't think they had a season? Yeah,

they do. So we're going to a three way tiebreaker. Played the drops. We're not done make any sense at all. First, you're lad, you can be second, you can be third, fourth, held fifth, Phil, When do you get a minute here where you do that? I don't like that one. Don't like that's that's ricky boy, I know, but it's like too much of the same thing. It's just a long passage. Yeah, I thought I'm out of Medley. Yeah, sure, you sent

me some ideas. Brodie, Steve and Randall going to our tiebreaking question with seven correct ants, I never liked it. The tiebreaker will be a numerical question. Whoever is closest to the correct answer will be declared the winner. The tiebreaking topic is hunting. What is the last year that ESPN ran hunting content on their network? Brody with a quick answer almost, I'm just getting my pen ready. You will not catch Brodie sleep again. The tabbig is hunting.

What is the last year that ESPN ran hunting content on their network? The only answers that matter are Randall, Brody, and Steve, but the rest of the room can play along if they'd like. Looking for the last year that ESPN had hunting content. Brody, how do you feel about that? Guess I think I'm close? Okay, Randall? See this one's weird though, because there's no like decimal point shit to like fall back on. We've done years the four. We need to go to a second tiebreaker. We can do that.

Oh man, I can go on all day, like to play the clip you don't like twice? This is like regular programmed. Yeah, like the last time ESPN one or two? Are we including the spin off sets? The whole net ocho? Now they just cut it at if you ain't first your last cut and then like going to other stuff. That's funny, Steve, I'm worried you're not focused on our tiebreaking question here. Okay, you come up with an answer yet? Yeah, Okay for the last year that they ran hunting content, Honey,

Espn Randall, do you have an answer? I've seen you change it more times. Now I'm working on my third I gotta do a little at it. Okay, Yeah, is everybody ready? Really, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Dan saying nineteen eighty seven, Hayden saying two thousand in five, Sam saying two thousand and eleven. Chester, you're saying two thousand and seven, and the answers that man.

We have Brody saying two thousand and eight, Randall saying two thousand and one, Steve saying two thousand and five. One of you is within two years of the correct answer. The right answer is two thousand and ten, making Brody Brodie came through Clutch with the six mule deer States and then got within two years and he was saying it can't be done. He shouldn't have down. You know, never never, never give up Steve. I was so distracted by the fact that I was gonna lose I didn't

even think of someone to donate to. You know what Brody exemplified right there? My my, uh, Maxim this is uh, be a pessimist in your head, but an optimist in your actions. It's right, but that feel like he was being a pessimist in his action as well. Started answering. He got everything right from that moment on. Now, while you think of a donation, Brody, let me tell you this. ESPN announced in a twenty ten press release that was cutting all outdoor television except for bass tournaments by the

end of the year. The last hunting show I can find that aired on ESPN was Bill Jordan's Real Tree Outdoors, where David Blann goes on a once in a lifetime elk hunt in Wyoming. That episode aired on December nineteen, twenty ten. We made it once in a lifetime I think it was, you know, a tag that was like took him sixteen years of drowne. He hired an outfit or something like that. Brodie, what happens next is you get to choose where the five hundred dollars donation goes

So what's it going to be. I'm gonna do the Mule Deer Foundation. Who because he came in on that mule question. Besides, besides it, ten, what else do you like about the Mule Deer Foundation? Oh, habitat work, access, hunter advocacy, all that stuff. Well, Brody, amazing game, Brody, come back for the an I want it, want us deserved, I'll hand it out. Hell of all. Come back. Well done, Brody. Join us the next time for more Meat Eater Trivia,

the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm not wearing this hat anymore. I'm not hot, but it's it's given other people answer. That's why
