Speaker 1 (00:07):
This is media podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the only game show where
conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer new Arthan. Today
we're joined by Jannis, Brody, Randall, Seth, Marge Logan and Nate.
This is a ten round quiz show with questions from
meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fish and conservation
and cooking, and there's a prize. Meat Eater will donate
five hundred dollars to the Conservation organization of the winners,

(00:32):
choosing for the stat of the week. This week we're
looking at win percentage. Brody is our winningest player in
Meat Eater Trivia history and his victorious thirty nine percent
of games that he plays. Damn that's a lot. That's
followed by Clay at thirty six percent, Steve at thirty five,
Randal at thirty four, and Giannis at twenty two. So

(00:52):
Brody's played the most games, he's won the most games
please don't count, and has the highest win percentage.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
There's no debate.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Brody's the med Eater Trivia goat.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
He is he is.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
We have our fourth ever Meat Eater Trivia tournament, though
that sometime the next six months will take place. We
have one victory for Steve, one for Brody, one for Randall.
Maybe that will be the one that settles who the
goat is right now.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Because we all know goat debates.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
They all get settled there, that's right, and they happen
in real time after so many months. Here's our Infrequently
Asked Questions segment. If you have a trivia related question
for our crew, send it to Trivia at the medieater
dot com with the subject line I FAQ. Hannah Lewis says,
how many water bottles do Spenser have? It feels like
he has a new vessel each game of trivia. I

(01:41):
admit his commitment to hydration. I admire his commitment to
hydration while hosting. What you're seeing, Hannah is, we have
my wife and I share four of these water bottles,
and they're interchangeable, so it looks like I have many
additions today. We have the white top and the green bottle.
But I can assure you your house it's not just
filled with water bottles.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I feel like that's a tough thing to share. I
feel like water bottles are really personal.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You know what they kind of are. I think this
is the hot one right now? The wala. My wife
keeps up on what the the best current. Well you're as.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well, because kids lose them and then we buy more
than they find them.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
What do you want to know, Yanny? Some of its features.
We got the button that opens the top. You can
like suck out of it so it can be in
this position and get a drink and you can tip
it back and get a drink that way. And then
again they're interchangeable.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
So what part of it is interchangeable?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Is this white part with this green part?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
See that?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah, that's that's why the analogy to do that.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
With an empty sprite bottle and the empty coke.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's true too. And you can put a straw in
it to drink up.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, sipping.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
When you're hunting.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
No, no, it's too heavy, yeah nel gin what I'm hunting.
This is what the cool girls drink out of though
right now?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, so Stanley's out.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I think Stanley, you're not a water nowherre If you're
drinking out of a Stanley, that's that's a cup.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
Stanley reverted back to like coal miners and stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Mmmm, yeah, just like cracker barrel.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Stanley's great.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
We have some housekeeping. Some folks have understandably been frustrated
that Spotify has chapters on each episode that spoil the
answers of questions. We are working to fix this. As
of now, there's no way for us to fully turn
that off. It's Spotify's AI that is automatically applying to
each episode. The best we can do at this moment
is to manually remove them from each show until there's

(03:47):
a more thorough solution. Our advice is to just avoid
looking at those chapters, unless, of course, you want to
cheat and really impress your buddies. Have you guys seen
that on Spotify? There's now like AI created chatters and
they say, like, uh, for question one, they debate if
a hippo is a packageer or whatever. So it says

(04:07):
the answer right there. And if your eyes are wandering,
you'll be able.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
To cheat AI, ruining lives.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
They are No, I'm still an Apple, all right.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
The Shelby Index for today is a four, so or
winner should get eight correct answers. And with that we're
onto the game of trivia. You play the drop fill.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Look, I need to know what I stand to win? Everything?
Everything has just tend to win.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Everything demon suckers. Question one. The topic is conservation, and
as always, this will be multiple choice. Which of these
national parks is the Furthest East? Is it Biscayne, Petrified Forest,

(04:58):
Big Bend or bad Lands? Not the Furthest East? Of
all sixty three or sixty four national parks the Furthest East?
Of these four? Is it Biscayne, Petrified Forest, Big Bend
or bad Lands? Randall? I heard you would have been
victorious with a perfect game.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
Oh yeah, he was talking all about it.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I just think it was like a good set of
questions for me.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, you could have moved it to Tuesday and I.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Could have No, we can't record on Tuesdays anymore. It's
too close to the deadline where oh no, you will
not get any more days where we are recording twenty
four hours in advance, So, oh God, could not move
it to Tuesday for you? Which of these national parks
is the Furthest East, Biscayne, Petrified Forest, Big Bend or

(05:53):
bad Lands? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have logan saying bad Lands eight bad Lands, seth
bad Lands. Randall and Giannis and Marge and Brody say Biscayne.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
They got it, Drake fans on this side of the room,
The correct answer is Biscayne Petrified Forest is located in Arizona,
Big Bend is in Texas, bad Lands is in South Dakota,
and Biscayne is in Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
The park is within sight of Miami and protects everything
from shipwrecks to manatees. It is located about fourteen hundred
miles further east than bad Lands or Big Bend. Thin.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
I've done some fishing in that park, Big Bone fishing,
is it? Or is Biscayne Bay? Is that part of it? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (06:39):
I mean it's that same zone.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, question too.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
The topic is gear. This next great question is via
Larry Ziegler. Yet he announced in twenty twenty four that
they acquired this backpack brand. YETI announced in twenty twenty
four that they acquired this backpack brand. A lot of

(07:03):
confident players.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
So, Spencer, while we're raiting, I don't know if this
has been talked about before, but how does your wife
feel about Taylor Swift's engagement?

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh Jesus, our household is becoming cynical on the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, same, the same over here, Spencer.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Phil's household was ahead of us, so there wasn't a
lot of fanfare.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Why you were such a swiftie not that long.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I could still be a swiftye and like you know,
enjoyed the music. Don't believe in curriculars.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
We could discuss off yet. He announced in twenty twenty
four that they acquired that.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Now even more brand.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I just think it's a real huge boon for the
Cincinnati Bearcats, hoping our recruiting class next year is stronger
because we could both.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Lights crazy true love blossomed right before the season.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Are you one of those copirac I think it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I think it's manufactured and yeah, not every moment has
to be like a commercial opportunity.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Oh, but that's what they're doing with it.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's far beyond like, you know, just like their relationship
I would have. Don't need to Like we're talking about this,
I'll give you all the details.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I think your instincts on this are correct. I think
that we're losing listeners.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Maybe over forty of mickeys.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I still think she makes good music. I like that
her fandom has created like this whole other universe where
folks are very passionate about things in a way that
you know people who care about Star Wars.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I thought you wanted to move on everybody.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
I wish Taylor would do it.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Let's go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Logan
and Nate and Seth and Randall and Giannis and Marge
and Brody saying Mystery Ranch.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
They got it.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The correct answer is Mystery Ranch. Yet he purchased Mystery
Ranch for thirty six million dollars in January twenty twenty four.
Less than ten months later, rumors began to swirl that
YETI planned to sunset the brand in twenty twenty six.
Yet he softly denied those claims, saying they're excited about
the future of Mystery Ranches, Hunt and outdoor products. People

(09:14):
in this room did very well because that is a
local brand.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I was gonna say, we could file that under Bozeman Gossip.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, this was covered in magazine's podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
I know, but it also squarely fits within the realm
of gossip.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
You know.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
They made a scene on the Runway New York fash weeko.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
With Chloe. They did a whole like Fanny Peck thing.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Good for that, odd, I thought.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
But cool question three. The topic is hunting. Gun blank
dot Com claims to be quote the world's largest online
marketplace for firearms, AMMO and accessories or quick answers in
the room. Gun blank dot com claims to be the

(09:58):
world's largest online marketplace for firearms, AMMO and accessories.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
I'm looking forward to Randall's review.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, how many hours have you spent on this website?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh? Countless hundreds. I was just trying to think of
how many guns I bought on it?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
How many have you sold there? You think?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Is it more? I don't sell on I don't sell online.
My buddy sells a lot on there, but they take fees.
I'd much rather just list it locally or like on
a forum where I can, and then you just get
to pay for FFL transfer and.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
There you gunblank dot com claim.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
So you don't really sells anyway, you just buy them.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
No market place for firearms, AMMO and accessories.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, you know, as a bigger fan of arms lists,
but they shut that down, So dude, ri ip Yeah,
Montana gun traders a serviceable substance to your thoughts on
tax swap. I don't. I don't tax swaps. That's a
little too for me.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Low and Nate and Seth and Randall and Giannis
and Brody saying broker margin without an answer. The correct
answer is gunbroker dot com. Gunbroker dot com has sold
over thirty one million items related to firearms. They are

(11:16):
an auction based website with eight million registered buyers and sellers.
Their inventory includes thirty seven twenty two long rifles and
sixty nine twelve gage shotguns.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I've only bought one. You want to know what it was?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
It was they It was the Model seventy. That's not
pre sixty four, but that G series that was made
like the pre sixty fours you follow me?

Speaker 6 (11:40):
A good one they made after they were bad.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had one of those that it
had the controlled extraction instead of the push feed you know,
buy from Brody. No, I bought it from gun broke.
It was a it's in a six five fifty five suede,
which is one of Chuck Hawks's If you ever read
his website, one of his tables, one of his favorites.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Was that a competitive auction for that gun.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I don't know if it was competitive. I knew that
I was gonna have to pay a pretty penny for
it because it was prime condition, and uh and I
ended up paying just about what I thought i'd have
to pay for him.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, rand will give me a story from gunbroker dot com.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Mmm, well, I just trying to think I bought my
HK usc from there.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh that's your most recent purchase.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Right, that's my most recent gun broker purchases competitive?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Uh No, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I got it for a song. But then the really
interesting thing is I found an auction. I hope this
doesn't get anybody in trouble, but I found an auction
for some magazines that I needed, and then I found
I started clicking around and I realized that this guy
was local, and so I circumvented wowkun broker, well done,

(13:02):
and just met up with him in person and did
the old faced faced cash deal like I like to
at a truck stop. Good.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
And he's a great guy too.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
We had a really interesting talk. He's a real collector.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
That can't happen when it's just an anonymous auction.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
That's the thing you lose. The human touch.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Question for the topic is fishing. What state is Lake
Pontcha Train? The spelling on that is p O N
T c h A R T r ai N. What
state is Lake Pontcha Train? Randal very quick to answer

(13:44):
he was the only one. Yanni has now joined him
with an answer, Randall, have you ever been to this place?

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, okay?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
What state is Lake Pontcha Train? Many times that is inspired?

Speaker 7 (13:58):
Seth now to that. That didn't inspire me. I just
I don't know, and I just picked one of fifty.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yanni, you seem confident. Have you been there?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I don't. I think I've maybe driven by it.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
What state is Lake Poncha Train?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Brody?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
How do you feel about your answer?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
First one popped in?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Not great?

Speaker 6 (14:22):
But you know, I have hope.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
When you say the answer, I'm gonna say I knew it.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, I believe you.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Marge taking a guess, Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have logan saying Maine, Nate, Minnesota. Just playing the
odds there, Seth Texas, Randall Louisiana, Jannis, Louisiana, Marge West Virginia,
Brody Louisiana. The correct answer is Louisiana at six hundred

(14:57):
and thirty one square miles. Lake Pontcha Train is the
eleventh biggest lake in the United States, but despite its name,
it's technically an estuary instead of a lake. Poncha Train
is best known for it speckled trout and redfish, as
well as the world's longest continuous bridge over water. Man,
they'll give me a give me a Poncha Train story, now,

(15:17):
since you've been there so many times.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well, I mean you drive over it if you're going
up to Baton Rouge or Lafayette or wherever. But good
friend of mine, Chris maclouso loves a fish.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Was successful.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
No, and he also had his camera at the weird angle,
so it's just kind of looking up at his bottom
of his shirt. But a great guy, he loves it.
I would like to make it down there and actually
get on the water someday. But I have driven over
it many times.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yanni. Do you remember the bridge? Have you been on
the world's.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
From from New Orleans to Venice? No? I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
I don't think I have.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
The topic is camping in campers and r v's blackwater
tanks collect from toilets, while this colored tank collects from
sinks and showers.

Speaker 9 (16:09):
Ooh, confident room in Campers and r v's blackwater tanks
collect from toilets, while this colored tank collects from sinks
and showers.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
May have another one hundred percent. Here, come on, mags,
everybody ready, here's a question one more time in Campers
and RV's blackwater tanks collect from toilets, while this colored
tank collects from sinks and showers.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Big camp, go ahead and reveal your answers.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
We have Logan and Nate and Seth and Randall and
Jannis and Marge and Brody. The whole room says gray.
The whole room got it right. The correct answer is gray.
The three primary tanks that most campers and RVs have
are a freshwater tank, gray water tank, and blackwater tank.
The freshwater tank provides clean water for drinking and washing,

(17:10):
while gray and black hold the wastewater. It's recommended when
draining these that you drain the black first and gray second,
which ensures all human waste gets washed out of your hose.
All right, Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia.
Give us a scoreboard update.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
This is a pretty high scoring. Wow, no one has
below three points. Logan, Nate, Seth, and Maggiere are all
tied up with three, and we've got three perfect games
because Randall, Jannis, and Brody have five points at halftime.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know if we've seen three.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Perfect Shelby Index.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
Four.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Guys are uh and I thought that show to be honest.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Question six, the topic is fishing. This next great question
is via Justin Phillips game and Fish Magazine declared this
man quote bass Fishing's goat after he announced his tournament
retirement in twenty twenty three. MM talked about the trivia
goat of Brody Henderson. Now we're looking for bass Phishing's goat.

(18:10):
Game and Fish called him that after he announced his
tournament retirement in twenty twenty three. Tough subject for Randal,
this could ruin his perfect game, while Jannis and Brody
seem to like their answers. Game and Fish Magazine declared

(18:32):
this man bass Fishing's goat after he announced his tournament
retirement in twenty twenty three. If you don't know goat,
that's greatest of all time? Is everybody ready?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
We talked about go earlier in this episode.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
We did Randall, Yeah, I don't like my answer Wow.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Logan without an answer,
Nate says Ricky, Bobby Seth says Kevin van Dam Randall
says Mike Ichnelly Yiannis KVD, Marge without an answer, Brody KVD.
The correct answer is Kevin van Dam KVD retired from

(19:12):
tournaments after earning seven million dollars through thirty six years
of competitive fishing. In that time, he won twenty five tournaments,
including four bass Master Classics and seven Angler of the
Year awards. In total, he weighed in over one hundred
and eighteen thousand pounds of bass as a professional fisherman
from Kalamazoo.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Another product Kazoo and Derek Jeter that's right, Yeah, and
the honest Boutelli. Those are the two guys.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, who else from there?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Give me some mother names. Yeah, you're putting me on
the spot.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Now, Jonathan van dam as well, so his brother, Yeah,
and I think his sunfish is now then.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
He owns DNR right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, his family's family.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, Kevin van damn. Question seven, the topic is biology.
Noah defines this eight letter word as quote the examination
of the dead body or carcass of an animal, Noah
defines this eight letter word as the examination of the

(20:15):
dead body or carcass of an animal. Seth is KVD
your goat as well? Would you agree with Game and
Fish Magazine?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (20:26):
Yeah, I mean he's the stats, certainly, don't lie.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know how you'd argue with it. And he
was kind of around maybe at like one of bass
fishing's peaks when it had ESPN airtime, when it was
like as cool as it could be, and he was
still winning all these tournaments. Noah defines this eight letter
word as the examination of the dead body or carcass.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Of an animal.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Eight letters W. Randall lost his perfect game. Randall, do
you know who came AVD?

Speaker 7 (21:00):
I do?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I do? And I should have known that because when
I was down in Springfield, Missouri, I got to go
through the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame. Oh and there's
a big old KBD thing there. But I was just
I couldn't think of any tournament anglers except for Mike Kinelly,
and I kept thinking Jimmy Houston and Bill dans Is.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Everybody ready just didn't get me anywhere. Noah defines this
eight letter word.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
That's all I know.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Go ahead, and reveal your answers.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
We have logan saying autopsy, Nate and Seth and Randall
and Giannis and Brody saying me cropsy Marge with un answers.
Answer is ne cropsy, and autopsy is to humans as
a knee cropsy is to animals. These are commonly done
by vets, biologists and game wardens. Tony Peterson thinks performingne

(21:57):
cropsies will make you a better hunter. Hear the reasoning
why go read his article on the mediater dot com
called why deer hunters should always perform a knee crops Oh, you.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
Should be doing that stuff with your kids after they
kill one.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's right, Stack, I agree. I like to promote this
idea as well.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Especially if you're interested in termina ballistics.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yes, sir, or what a deer has been eating, or.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
The worm channel that you're projecting.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
This well, both are equally important.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
That's right. You'll be a more unter if if you
just poke around in there. Question eighth, the topic is cooking,
and this next great question is via Colin t. This
invasive mammal was the target of a twenty twenty five
US Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called Save a swamp

(22:46):
saute a blank? Oh oh, Randall and Seth very quick
to answer. This invasive mammal was the target of a
twenty twenty five US Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called
quote save a swamp saute a Blank? Yanni, how do

(23:06):
you feel about your answer? Perfect game on the line
on question eight.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I think it's a mammal.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
Them them little dash mark.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
They are irrelevant. It could be a two letter word,
it could be a fifteen letter word.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Save a swamp sautea cow boar.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
This invasive mammal was the target of a twenty twenty
five US Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called Save a
swamp saute a Blank. Big and Rich was my favorite
country group when I was a kid because they loved
South Dakota. They loved coming there and performing on their
first album, Horse of a Different Color. Their license plates
on their motorcycles or South Dakota plates, the name is

(23:51):
Big and Rich, Big and Rich, that's right, John John,
Big John Rich and Big Kennny that's right. They split
up for a while. He was kind of a devastating
moment for Big and Rich fans. But now they're back together.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Hmm. I didn't realize that this.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Invasive mammal was the target of a twenty twenty five
US Fish and Wildlife Service campaign called Save Save a
Swamp saute a Blank. Their solo careers did not work out.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
They just had to.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
They had to reunite.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
They couldn't be just big or just rich.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Didn't work. Didn't work, Hall and Oates.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Were you big and rich fan Seth Yeah, Cowboy Troy Yeah,
Cowboy cowboy Joy.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
It's everybody ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have logan saying the famous mammal iguana, uh Nate saying
the famous mammal snake. We have set saying Neutria, Randall's
Neutri Giannis new Tria, Marge without an answer, Brodie, Newtria,

(24:58):
they got it the correct answer.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Newtrio doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
It's a federal agency. It's not gonna rhyme.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Newtria are originally from South America. They destroy North American
wetlands by eating the roots of native plants, which accelerates
erosion and turns marshes into open water. The US Fish
and Wildlife Service encourages their harvest, saying Nutria have a lean,
mild flesh that tastes like rabbit or the dark meat
of a turkey. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries shares

(25:32):
recipes on their website for Newtria gumbo and Newtrio Jumbalaya.
All right, Fall, we have two questions left. Give us
a scoreboard update.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Let's see here, looks like logan, Nate and Maggie are
out of the running for the win. Got Seth with
six points, Randal is seven and tied up with a
perfect game. Still are Jannis and Brody with eight?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Here's question nine? The topic. It's Frontiersman. Frontiersman Davy Crockett
died on March sixth, eighteen thirty six in this modern city,
Brody and Randall.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
And not my strong suit.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Frontiersman Davy Crockett died on March sixth, eighteen thirty six
in this modern city.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I can tell you the state. Does that get me anything?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Not enough?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Frontiersman Davy Crockett died on March sixth, eighteen thirty six,
in this modern city. Nate, do you know this one?

Speaker 6 (26:42):
How about a long Davy Crockett for us? Randall, let
her rip dat.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I felt like we had a chorus there.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I was going to start started at the chorus.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't really have the whole number going on a
mountain daring there you get perfect, Janni.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
How do you feel about your answer?

Speaker 3 (27:03):
It is a city in this great state.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Okay, that's a hint.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's everybody ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers to
New Orleans, Natean san Antonio, Seth Nashville Randall, and Giannis
san Antonio Marche Philadelphia, Brody san Antonio. The correct answer
is San Antonio. Thousands of Mexican soldiers stormed the lightly

(27:36):
defended Alamo and the day Crockett died. Some historians say
he went down fighting with a heroic glass stand, while
others claim he surrendered and was executed. For more on
this controversial subject, go read Pat durkins article on the
Meat Eater dot com called, did Davy Crockett go down Swinging?
Is anyone ben to the Alamo?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yep? I have.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
March. You didn't know Davy Crockett died there?

Speaker 4 (28:03):
I guess I didn't read enough plaques.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Tell me about the visit had their brody it was.

Speaker 6 (28:08):
You know, it's cool you go into a little like
Cha Chapel Museum. I think they call it, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
So?

Speaker 6 (28:14):
Yeah, there's some cool stuff in there. We weren't there long.
We're just passing through San Antonio on our way down
to Padre Island, so we.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Didn't stay long.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Who else died there?

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Booie everyone?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Everyone?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Pretty much?

Speaker 6 (28:31):
What's his name?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
The Mexican General?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Santana.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, here's a correct answer. Review so far.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
One was Biscay National Park, two Mystery Ranch three Gunbroker
dot Com four, Louisiana five Gray six Kevin van Dam
seven Knee Cropsy eight Neutria nine San Antonio, Phil. How's
the scoreboard look going into question ten?

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Well, the uh standings remain the same, with Brody and
Yannis still at their perfect game nine points in randall
one point behind at eight.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Question ten, the topic is hunting. This is our listener
question of the week, which was won by Sam Woodward.
We're sending this great question. Sam is going to get
a board game signed by the crew. If you want
a chance to win the listener Question of the Week,
then send your question to Trivia at the Medeater dot com.
According to Pheasants Forever, this is the peak egg laying

(29:30):
month for pheasants. See according to pheasants forever, this is
the peak egg laying month for pheasants. We have Jannis
and Brody with blank whiteboards. They are tied right now
with a perfect game. Randall is one point behind them.

(29:51):
If he could get this right and they falter, we
will have a three way tie.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Well, you know what they say about me, Spencer, What
do they say? One of my strong suits is questions
about birds and who is they Randall? There's a guy
on Instagram that points out every time that I get a.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Bird question wrong, no ornithologist. That's what they say about Randall.
According to Pheasants Forever, this is the peak egg laying
month for pheasants.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh May, I want to change, but I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Two perfect games on the line. Is everybody ready, yes,
go ahead and reveal your answers. We have logan saying
June Nate, April seth May, Randall March, Yannis May, March May,

(30:45):
Brody May. The correct answer.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Is May.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
We have two perfect games between Brody and Yannis. The
average hen lays a dozen eggs that take twenty three
days to hatch. This is a taxing process that can
cause a pheasant to lose seventy five percent of their
body fat and ten percent of their body weight. They
then hit their poorest physical condition in August, which is

(31:11):
when they're most susceptible to disease and predators. All right,
we're headed overtime play the drop phill.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Tie breaker.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
The tie breaker will be a numerical question. We are
down to Brody and Giannis.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
I just comment on that drop, like, Yeah, that feels
so intense to me. I feel like my life is
on the line.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
How it should feel.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Like that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Was it like? Was he
like Running Man or something like that. I feel like
I'm about to enter into like something like that.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Well, there's a one thousand dollars donation on the line
because YouTube boys put up perfect games today, and it
could go up to eleven hundred dollars if one of
you gets this right on the nose.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
I find that drop very relaxing.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
So all right, everyone in the room will play along, though,
because if somebody gets this right on the nose, Mediater's
going to add that extra one hundred dollars. We've already
doubled the donation today. Let's see if we can get
some more.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
One more question? Have we had a perfect game tiebreaker
one time?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That has happened one time in mediater trivia history. I
think this is like episode one hundred eighty, so it's
now happened twice.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
If I lose after overtime, do I still get the
perfect game?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, you'll be credited with a perfect game. Have you
had a perfect game before?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Okay, maybe a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Of history to be made here, all right. The tie
breaking subject is nature. What percentage of Americans think they
could beat a bald ego a bald eagle in an
unarmed fight?

Speaker 3 (32:48):
A bald ego, they'd be like fighting Brody.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
One percentage of American You're you're the eagle.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
I know you.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Said a bald ego?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I did.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
What percentage of Americans I think they could beat a
bald eagle in an unarmed fight? This is via a
twenty twenty one pole.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Who did the pot?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
I think it was you, Gov. It was like a
pretty official let me see if asked no question?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh you go, It's like a It's like it's just
a website, isn't it. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
Can I make a small request what you can avoid
tie break like this kind of this is.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Like it was you gov. That was a you gov poll.
What percentage of Americans think they could beat a bald
eagle in an unarmed fight?

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Like the Boone and Crockett one we had last time?
That was like very cut and dry.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
We got to mix in a fun one every now
and then.

Speaker 6 (33:49):
This is fun.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
So like I feel like males in our country? How
far say I can't? So that's fifty percentage more? Now
what percentage out of emails are.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
You trying to help Brody?

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I'm just having fun with it.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
How many percent would you like us to go to?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I want us to get it right on the nose,
so we're not doing any decimals. Just write a whole number.
There were twelve hundred US adults pulled for this question.
What percentage of Americans think they could beat a bald
eagle in an unarmed fight?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Do you think this is a phone call survey type
of thing? Don't.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
No, they might have been standing outside of the Seers
and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
The question would be are people who have landlines more
likely to be able to be confident to fight against
a bald eagle.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Again, twelve hundred Americans were surveyed for this question.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
They're probably more traditional, so they likely have a higher
reverence for the capabilities of our nation's.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Fighting skill.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
They leave the question a little open ended. So what
does it mean to beat the bald eagle? Like?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Did you just defeat it.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And it can't rastley anymore? Is it dead? You just
killed the thing? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I think whenever I being a bird, I think of
it not being able to fly away.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
Usually when I break, it's lightless birds.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
It's everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Logan saying fifty three percent, Nate sixty nine, Nice,
Seth sixty seven, Randall eighty seven, Marge fifty two, and
our two players left. We have Brody saying sixty two
and Yanni saying seventy eight percent of Americans could be

(35:33):
an old.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Eagle armed fight some we get it right on the nose.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
The correct answer, it's thirty percent. Make Brody our winner.
He was thirty two percent.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
A landline pole.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
I think again, you have to consider they're doing this
survey like outside of a seers in Wisconsin. Uh not,
everyone is like, yeah, I could I could woo?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Have those people seen a bald eagle?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
No, thirty percent of Americans think they could beat one
in a fight. In that same twenty twenty one poll,
only eighteen percent of Britain said they could beat could
beat up an eagle, and men were more confident than women,
with thirty nine percent of American men versus twenty two
percent of American women saying they'd win the fight. The

(36:24):
study found that American women and British men have about
the same confidence of winning fights with kangaroos and wolves.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Now, I've never really bought into the whole crisis of
masculinity thing, but that thirty nine percent number has me concern.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
It's even worse concern if you're on the other side
of the Atlantic. Those folks really don't believe in their
their animal fighting ability. So Brody, who did not like
the question is the winner? Brody, where is that one
thousand dollars donation going today?

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
It's a thousand, one thousand dollars. You we've done this
in the past. You could split it up into two
five hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Yes, pick five.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Give someone the big, big grand there you make their day.

Speaker 6 (37:04):
Splash it Uh, I'm gonna go Mule Deer Foundation.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Mule Deer Foundation. I think Brody is their biggest donor
on behalf of Meat Eater Trivia. What do you like
about Mule Deer Founder.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I like big Mule Deer bucks.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
And you like their hats?

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Yeah, do not wet. I like that hat with the
the silhouette direct sunrise. Yeah, I need more those.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
There you go, thousand dollars via Meat Eater and Brody
going to the Mule Deer Foundation. Well, Doniannis, thanks very close,
very not good enough.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
No, it's like finishing one hundred mile race but not
you know, get in first place.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Still feel real good about it.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Made it to the end. Join us next week for
more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation
always wins.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Thanks Spencer, Thanks Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
He's the host using those smooth mellow tones.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
He lays them questions down, and he likes taking those
two and three year old bucks.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
And he's an avid amateur lockhow
