Round-by-Round Trivia Highlights

Round 1: Conservation - Aldo Leopold’s Demise

Participants offer dramatic options, reflecting Spencer’s comment likening the game to the board game Balderdash (09:25).

"According to Audubon, juvenile bald eagles are the source of many misidentifications of this other bird."

Brody and others correctly answer "golden eagle."

Quote with Timestamp:
Spencer Newarth (38:19):
"Golden eagles and juvenile bald eagles are similar in size and color, leading to frequent misidentifications. With only about 30,000 golden eagles in America compared to 320,000 bald eagles, sightings are rare." (38:19)

Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host Spencer Newarth and today we're joined by Giannis, Randall, Brody, Tressa, Christina, Dean, Corey and Matt. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters 4 verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate 500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing for the stat of the week. This week we're looking at Yanni's best and worst categories. Yanni, what do you think your strength is in meat eater trivia? Hunting, fish and conservation Cooking.

[Giannis]

Oh man, I bet it's a close tie between hunting and cooking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your best category is cooking where you get 73% of questions correct. That is the highest mark among all crew members.

[Corey]

That's impressive.

[Giannis]

73 Highest mark in cooking or highest mark in any particular Cooking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Cooking. You're the best at answering cooking questions. Now what do you think your weakest category is?

[Giannis]

Conservation. 100%.

[Spencer Newarth]

Your worst category is conservation where you get 58% of questions correct. That is 15% worse than Randall and 9% worse than Brody.

[Corey]

Know thyself man. Good job.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. What's with the gap in knowledge there, you think, between the cooking and conservation?

[Giannis]

Well, I don't know if I'm 100 for sure correct on this, but I might be the only one that actually worked in the kitchen professionally for more than six months. So that would give me the, you know, the bump.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Giannis]

And then I, you know, like I always say, I didn't get a PhD in hunting history like that guy. And I probably just read a lot less than this guy does.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

And I think that, that, you know, that's where that conservation gap comes from.

[Spencer Newarth]

Johnny such a pro in the kitchen that he even does the thing you're supposed to do in a kitchen where you say behind you if you're like walking behind someone. So you still do that all these years.

[Matt]

Corners, corner.

[Randall]

I've watched the Bear Quarter.

[Giannis]

I don't know, I've never hear corner. What's that?

[Matt]

You're coming around the corner, going through a doorway.

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

With a big tray of hot now, you know, Johnny.

[Randall]

I don't know.

[Giannis]

Yeah, Corey says something really funny too when he comes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is it naughty?

[Giannis]

Yeah, very naughty.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're not going to do in the room.

[Giannis]

Christina sleep the room. And then he'll say, for sure.

[Christina]

I mean, I worked in restaurants for six years, so we had to get pretty clever.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. We'll find out after the mics are off. And on average, Yanni gets 63% of questions correct.

[Randall]

Nice.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to triviator.com with the subject line IFAQ. Ben Stewart says on one episode of Trivia, it was casually mentioned that Steve and Chester once wrestled and Chester pinned him. What's the story behind that? I don't know the answer. Ben, does anyone in here know the Chester and Steve wrestling story? I assume someone was there.

[Corey]

You might want to have saved that one for when Steve.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Corey]

Around.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, Steve is rarely around, but if.

[Giannis]

I had a bet on that one, I would have 100% bet on chess.

[Randall]

Chester looks like a high school.

[Corey]

And I would bet that Steve was like, I can beat you in wrestling. And then chapter Chester whipped his ass.

[Spencer Newarth]

You guys think it was earnest wrestling that happened? Like they were.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah, that happens on the shoots.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, well, we're going to get someone in the room to answer.

[Corey]

Like, I've been on enough shoots to see.

[Randall]

It's one of the first things that we do on shoots. Everybody knows that we used to just.

[Giannis]

Throw rocks at like cans or bottles at, you know, far distances and have bets on them. Some people used to get into some debt man, big time. Like hundreds of dollars.

[Corey]

You do the.

[Giannis]

No, because I can hit shit with a rock.

[Corey]

What's that thing where you like prop yourself up vertically you guys used to do too headstands? Yeah, but it was like a certain kind. Like you had to do it a.

[Spencer Newarth]

Certain way against the wall. Is that it?

[Corey]

I can't.

[Giannis]

I don't know. But yeah. Plank offs competitions for doing who can do the most pull ups on a branch.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Ben, we'll get somebody here who can tell you about the time Stephen Chester wrestled on a future episode. We have some housekeeping to get to. On a recent episode of Trivia, we talked about Randy Newberg and how he said he read the 6, 000 page Elk of North America book. We debunked during that episode that it was not 6, 000 pages. Listener Caleb Pinner wrote in, confirming that his copy is 625 pages. But he also shared something more interesting than that. His edition from 1982 has the price of 39.95 printed on the COVID That is an expensive book. In 2024, 1982, using an inflation calculator, that $40 book would cost $134 today. But here's another plot twist. That book currently has far more demand than supply. The cheapest copy I could find is listed for $220 on Amazon. That's like if the book was new for sale in 1982 for $66 instead of $40. So if anyone take care of my.

[Giannis]

Copy I got at home.

[Spencer Newarth]

You, you, you genuinely have one at home?

[Giannis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

I've never read it fully. I've flipped through it quite often, but I've never sat. I mean it's a big old textbook, basically.

[Spencer Newarth]

$220 textbook that you got there. You could flip that for a nice little profit.

[Giannis]

Now, Yanni, now I'm going to hang on to it. My mother in law gave me that for Christmas one year.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, was that, was that kind of an insult, like he needs help or what was the deal?

[Giannis]

No, it was on my list of things that I would like to receive.

[Spencer Newarth]

Huh. It's a good present. You look at it and see what year it is and what the price tag was for that year. Now the Shelby index for today is a four. So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that we're on to the game of Trivia real quick.

[Giannis]

One, one question. Do you ever get anybody that writes in and is like God you guys way too much. I'd like you guys just to Hurry up and get to the game.

[Spencer Newarth]

I. I try to keep it under 10 minutes, so that does not happen, but I think if we, if we went longer, if this was like a 15 minute banter, I imagine folks would complain. And, and that's understandable.

[Giannis]

All right, write in. Let us know what you think.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Play the drop.

[Randall]

Hold on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers. Question 1. The topic is conservation. This first great question is via Bob Nielsen. And as always, it will be multiple choice.

[Corey]

This is your worst category.

[Spencer Newarth]

In what tragic way did Aldo Leopold die? Is it? Had a heart attack while fighting a grass fire. Kicked in the stomach by a neighbor's loose horse. Flipped a canoe on the Mississippi on Christmas Eve. Were crushed by an invasive white poplar tree he was writing about. In what tragic way did Aldo Leopold die? Here are the four choices. Had a heart attack while fighting a grass fire, Kicked in the stomach by a neighbor's loose horse. Flipped a canoe on the Mississippi on Christmas Eve. Or crushed by an invasive white poplar tree he was writing about. Randall, you know this one?

[Matt]

I do.

[Randall]

This is one of those fun questions to write though, because you start with what you know and then you come up with three equally dramatic tragic demises.

[Spencer Newarth]

My favorite board game of all time is Balderdash, and you basically do that in the game. The game would be like, you know, what tragic way did all the Leopold die? And then you would have all the players create a fake answer and there would be a real answer in there as well. And you're trying to bluff everyone to.

[Corey]

Make that you're a game guy. Have you played that escalated quickly?

[Spencer Newarth]

No.

[Corey]

It's a game my kids want. Seems kind of cool.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Corey]

To make up stuff.

[Spencer Newarth]

My wife usually gets me a board game or two for Christmas. So maybe it's under the tree this year. Again, your four choices for how Aldo Leopold die. Grass, fire, heart attack, kicked by a horse. Flipped a canoe, crushed by invasive tree. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying canoe. Tressa says kicked by a horse. Matt, kicked by a horse. Randall, grass fire, heart attack. Corey flipped a canoe. Yanni says grass, fire, heart attack. And Brody says flipped the canoe on Christmas Eve. The correct answer is he had a heart attack while fighting a grass.

[Corey]

Now I got a question.

[Spencer Newarth]

What do you got?

[Corey]

I got a question about this. Did the fire kill him or was he killed by a heart attack?

[Spencer Newarth]

He was killed by the heart attack. He had the heart Attack while he was fighting the grass fire.

[Corey]

Wow.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Corey]

Like, would he have had that heart attack anyway?

[Spencer Newarth]

I bet not. I imagine it was a cause and effect. Like if someone had a heart attack while they were dragging a deer out of the woods shoveling snow. Yeah.

[Corey]

Did he get burned up in the fire?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't have all those details. I'll tell you what I do know. Leopold died on April 21, 1948, at 61 years old. This was just one week after his manuscript for A Sand County Almanac was accepted by Oxford University. Leopold had the heart attack while helping a neighbor fight a grass fire collapsing less than 100 yards from where the Aldo Leopold Legacy center stands today. So if you go to that Legacy center, you're right near where he had that heart attack. Question 2. The topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Carson Spa for sending this great question. Carson is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to [e-mail]. this beer is named after the tallest mountain in Washington.

[Corey]

Oh, some good stuff, too.

[Christina]

Now you're speaking my language.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, Corey, Randall, everyone's quick to answer. This may be a 100% couple. This past weekend, after big beer drinkers.

[Randall]

In this room, Whenever I'm around Cal, these things are always in close proximity.

[Spencer Newarth]

This beer is named after the tallest mountain in in Washington. There have been some hints dropped if you know, they serve them in the.

[Corey]

Can at the Bank Bar in Clyde Park.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. Ooh. Oh. Yanni is revisiting his answer. This beer is named after the tallest mountain in Washington.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah.

[Christina]

I'm rethinking now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Christina]

Couple big mountains in Washington.

[Giannis]

Uhhuh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Couple beers, too.

[Giannis]

That's right. That's right. How well do you know your tall mountains?

[Spencer Newarth]

Or how well do you know what Cal and Brody like to drink?

[Corey]

Maybe I'm wrong.

[Randall]

Now I forget how tall Mount Bex is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Mount Bud Light.

[Giannis]

Well, that Sierra Nevada is a tall mountain range.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody has done some riding and some erasing his Becks. Is everybody right? Ready?

[Matt]

Everybody loves Becks.

[Randall]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine and Tressa saying Rainier. Tressa crossed out Olympus. Matt says Rainier. Randall Rainier. Corey and Giannis and Brody say Rainier. They got it. The correct answer is Rainier. That was a 100 percenter.

[Corey]

You had me worried. It was only there for a second.

[Randall]

Did Cal give that answer away?

[Giannis]

No, I just kept Thinking and yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Did you drink that? Rainier beer was first brewed in Seattle in 1878, which is 11 years before Washington even became a state. During Prohibition, the beer had to move to California and then to Canada before returning to Washington. Mount Rainier is 14,417ft tall, making it the fifth tallest mountain in the Lower 48. Question three. The topic is cooking delicious vitamin R. Vitamin R. I like that one, Corey. I. I plan on using that. Maybe this weekend even.

[Christina]

Yeah, a lot of bartenders don't know that one.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's pretty sad.

[Matt]

Do you know. Do you know? I know about vitamin R because of Twilight. That was Bella's dad's favorite beer. Oh, I'm sorry.

[Corey]

This is where you were headed for the next episode.

[Randall]

Have you been to Forks?

[Matt]

I have not been.

[Spencer Newarth]

I have been to Forks. Yeah, my wife was a big Twilight fan. She was the right age for that series, so we had to stop and she took a picture in front of the welcome to Fork sign.

[Randall]

Yeah, I went steelheading out there with a buddy and then was just kind of had forgotten about Twilight. But then you get there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, you can't forget about it.

[Randall]

Don't forget about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 3. The topic is cooking. Zesty, sharp and tart are synonyms for this five letter word that's defined as, quote, sharp, having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. We had a 100 percenter on question two. We may have a 0 percenter on question three. Zesty, sharp and tart are synonyms for this five letter word that's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor. Randall, the first player to come up with an answer. Do you have this one right? Randall?

[Randall]

I. It's a possibility.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's grinning. He really likes.

[Randall]

No, no, no, it's. That was a grimace.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, a grimace.

[Randall]

I kind of had the thing at the end. Yeah, that's a grimace.

[Spencer Newarth]

Zesty, zesty, sharp and tart are synonyms for this five letter word and it's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor.

[Corey]

Use your wordle powers, Giannis.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow. Yeah, That's a five letter game, isn't it? I feel like they're reaching the end of the dictionary. So they've probably used this word at some point. Zesty, sharp.

[Corey]

This is the only one I can think of.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tart are synonyms for this five letter word. It's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor.

[Corey]

What if the word I came up with is also a synonym?

[Spencer Newarth]

Does it have this exact. It needs to have this exact Definition, which I pulled from Merriam Webster's thesaurus. Having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor?

[Randall]

Boy, I'm just trying to think of the. My answers used.

[Corey]

The odor thing's tough.

[Randall]

See, mine is more odor specific, I would think.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do our other players give up?

[Corey]

Oh, wait, hold on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody. Revisiting his whiteboard.

[Randall]

Maybe I need to stop talking.

[Spencer Newarth]

Should keep the perfect game going for Randall if he's right. Zesty, sharp and tart. Phil, would you get this one right?

[Matt]

Yeah, I think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis]

Wow.

[Spencer Newarth]

A little hint and an insult. Phil, it's hard. It's.

[Matt]

Sometimes it's hard for me to gauge once I've seen the answer because I like did it. Would I have thought of that without having seen it before? I'd like to guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody.

[Corey]

Is it me?

[Spencer Newarth]

No. I mean, there's. I think there's a lot of blank whiteboards, but you're probably the only one left.

[Corey]

They wanted more chit chat, so let's just chit chat for a while.

[Giannis]

Yanni, I just came up with a six letter one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, okay. Maybe spell it wrong.

[Randall]

Brody, how many vowels does your answer have?

[Corey]

Depends which word I circle. One has one vowel, one has two.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, and how many vowels does he.

[Corey]

One has that would A letter that's sometimes a vowel and sometimes not? About. Oh, I think that's how it's.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yeah, I think I. I don't.

[Randall]

[Corey]

5.

[Randall]

Yeah, it's all vowels.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's Italian or it's from.

[Randall]

Yeah, it doesn't have any vowels.

[Corey]

Oh, God. Spencer. So which one should I. Which one should I circle?

[Spencer Newarth]

Sharp and tart are synonyms for this five letter word that's defined as having a powerfully stimulating odor or flavor.

[Corey]

Sticking with my first answer, it's a shockingly difficult question.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody's not going to change his answer, but he showed me his whiteboard and I'll say that one of his answers was correct.

[Corey]

Oh, boy. So I hope it was the right one or I'm gonna get real mad.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni, we're waiting on you.

[Giannis]

Oh, yeah, go ahead.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying tangy. Tressa says spicy. Matt says sweet. Randall says acid.

[Randall]

Acrid.

[Spencer Newarth]

Acrid. Cordy says zippy. Giannis says umami. Brody crossed out umami and went with tangy. The correct answer is tangy. Brody and Christine got one right.

[Giannis]

Good job.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tangy flavors are often described as having a slight sourness with acidic notes. Cuisines that use a lot of tangy flavors Include Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Mediterranean and Caribbean. Some foods that are considered tangy include vinegar, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, yogurt, berries and citrus fruit.

[Giannis]

God, I was even thinking about sauerkraut kimchi. I'm like, what would you call that? Tangy did not come to mind was.

[Corey]

Your six letter word, did I? Did I happen to see that you wrote down skanky, stinky.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 4. The topic is natural history. In what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located?

[Christina]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

In what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located? Randall, you have this one, right?

[Randall]

I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Have you been here before?

[Randall]

Probably many times.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, wow. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[Giannis]

Good guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Brody, are you.

[Corey]

I always. I. I just get it mixed up with another thing.

[Randall]

I'd just like to point out that on the previous question, had I not known that one of Brody's two answers was correct, I would have known mine wrong. When you didn't pronounce it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Randall]

Whenever Spencer looks at a whiteboard and it's like he's never seen that word before, it really takes the wind out of your sails.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, again, question four. Natural history. In what city is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located?

[Corey]

Well, you really hit the topic right. You hit the nail on the head with this one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Have you been to this place, Brody?

[Corey]

Yeah, long time ago.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Giannis is now squinting, trying to think of where Brody may have been a long time ago. Anyone else been to this place?

[Randall]

We know he was in Pennsylvania.

[Spencer Newarth]

Been there. Matt, what do you remember looking at at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History? Oh, man.

[Randall]

Without providing anything, that's too.

[Corey]

They had a revealing, really cool Egyptian exhibit when I was there.

[Spencer Newarth]

I thought was really interesting. I was looking at their website last night. Any was there a non stop flight.

[Christina]

From Bozeman to get there?

[Giannis]

Oh man. I think it might be the other one. I'm thinking of.

[Spencer Newarth]

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Is everybody ready? Yeah.

[Giannis]

No, I'm going to switch. I'm going to switch. Let me write down my other one.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm going to be real embarrassing.

[Corey]

He's going to write down the one I didn't write down.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think the Egyptian thing is permanent there at the museum. I was looking at their website last night. They currently have a new exhibit about the mega toothed shark that I'd like to see. Oh, Megalodon mega toothed. Which I don't think is the Megalodon.

[Randall]

I thought that was just a pseudonym.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Chicago. Tressa without an answer. Matt says Washington, D.C. randall, Washington, D.C. cory says Chicago. Giannis crossed out Washington D.C. and put Chicago. Brody says Washington, D.C. he got it. The correct answer is Washington D.C. the Smithsonian is the world's largest museum, education and research complex. It was created in 1846 by the Federal government, quote, for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. The institute is famous for their 17 museums, the most visited of which is the National Museum of Natural History.

[Corey]

How to get its name?

[Spencer Newarth]

The Smithsonian? Yeah, I think it's named after a British person, John Smith. No, I think his name was Smithsonian.

[Randall]

I think it's Smithson.

[Giannis]

Doesn't Chicago also have a really good New York City?

[Randall]

The Field Museum in Chicago and New.

[Spencer Newarth]

York City has the American Museum of Nationally mixed up. Question 5. The topic is hunting. This next great question is via Nathan Noble. Here we go. What does BC stand for? As in a bullet. BC what does B C stand for? As in A. Bullets. BC this is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the Engineer after this.

[Randall]

There's a family of elephants in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History that I believe were all killed by T.R.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, interesting.

[Corey]

Whole family.

[Randall]

Yeah, I could be wrong on that.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's the perfect thing to put in a museum.

[Giannis]

I wonder what BC his bullet had.

[Corey]

Great. I bet.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah.

[Giannis]

Probably not.

[Randall]

It was probably. Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil, are you going to be doing the scoreboard updates next week as well? Is this a one man show next week?

[Matt]

Oh, it's going to be a one man show. I. I don't know how it's going to go. It's mostly an exercise in masochism, but I'm kind of. I'm willing to give it a shot.

[Randall]

Phil, I added that factoid and now I'm second guessing myself. Would you please look up whether there's a family of elephants killed by Theodore Roosevelt at the American Smithsonian Museum of Natural History?

[Sponsor]

Sure.

[Randall]

Thank you.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good enough for your game. Question for free time hunting, what does BC stand for? Is in a bullet.

[Giannis]

BC takes longer to write the answer than for you to ask the question.

[Christina]

There's a hint.

[Giannis]

That's a hint.

[Spencer Newarth]

Five of our players are very confident. Two or not. Are you two ready seeing doing some scribbling? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Christine says big caliber. Tressa says bullet cartridge. Matt and Randall and Corey and Giannis and Brody say ballistic coefficient. They got it. The correct answer is ballistic coefficient. Ballistic coefficient is how you track a projectile's ability to resist air drag. Simply put, the higher the number, the faster it flies downrange and the less and the less it drops. BC takes into account a bullet's weight, diameter and shape. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a leaderboard update.

[Matt]

Tressa is in last place with one point. Coming up next are Corey and Christine with two points a piece. Giannis Patelis, Matt Miller have three points. And tied up in first place are Brody and Randall with four points.

[Spencer Newarth]

And we're dropping a bunch new five new Meat Eater Kids podcast episodes starting November 25th. Again, it's a kid show. You listen to it with your kids. It occurs in three acts. There's a little history history lesson or a wildlife ecology lesson. There's a animal call game that you play by listening to animal calls and trying to guess what animals you're hearing based on some clues. And then real live kids come in the studio and play kids trivia and work together to build up a little pot of money to donate to kids focused conservation organizations. So Meat Eater Kids Podcast coming back. Round two, Meat Eater Kids.

Question 6. The topic is conservation. And this next great question is via Luke Pern. This fish, which was considered the same species as Dolly Varden until 1978, is federally listed as threatened. Question 6. The topic is conservation. This fish, which was considered the same species as Dolly Varden until 1978, is federally listed as threatened. You have this one right, Randall?

[Randall]

I hope so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. How about you, Corey? Got it, Matt. Do you have a chance at getting this one right? Not any chance. Okay.

[Giannis]

At all.

[Spencer Newarth]

Has anybody caught one of these fish? I have Brody.

[Corey]

Where an unname and a state on the after Spencer Rupio's name.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you have this one right, Yanni?

[Giannis]

I'm pretty sure I do.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Matt]

Although Roosevelt's name does not appear on the display, one of the museum's most spectacular exhibits, the group of eight elephants in the center of the Akeley hall of African Mammals, includes an elephant shot by Roosevelt in 1909 during his African expedition. So it seems like only one of.

[Randall]

Those elephants fudged the details, but that's fun.

[Giannis]

Might have to take the kids there just to see that.

[Randall]

Oh yeah.

[Christina]

I used to guide strictly for these fish for eight years.

[Spencer Newarth]

I knew that.

[Giannis]

Wait a minute.

[Spencer Newarth]

I didn't want to put that out there.

[Corey]

Wait a minute.

[Christina]

Some players we don't talk about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Other than that, though, this fish, which was considered the same species as Dolly Varden until 1978, he's federally listed as threatened. Yanni is revisiting his answer now based.

[Giannis]

On no, he wasn't guiding for my answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's what I was worried about.

[Brody]

Uh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, Corey, you're a point behind Yanni. You. You don't need to give him too many hints.

[Giannis]

But now if it's wrong and my original one was right.

[Corey]

Cuz he knows he thinks you're good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now Randall is doing some erasing.

[Randall]

I just.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, just some cleaning.

[Randall]

Yeah, cleaning up a little bit.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying grayling. Tressa says permit. Matt says cutthroat. Randall says char. Corey says bull trout. Giannis crossed out char and wrote down bull trout. Brody says bull trout. The correct answer is bull trout. This side of the table. Got that one right.

[Corey]

Now, Corey, how are you able to guide for these things when it's illegal to target them?

[Christina]

There's one river in lower 48 where you can target.

[Corey]

Oh, I know you're talking about. I won't mention it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now you know we can cut that out, right?

[Corey]

Though I. When I was fishing for these things, I wasn't accidentally. Definitely wasn't targeting them.

[Giannis]

Oh, it's too funny. In. In and around the rivers that they occupy, you go to the fly shop and they're like, now remember, don't target them. And then you look at the brag board, it's nothing but people holding up giant bullet trout.

[Corey]

Well, on the stream I was fishing. It was like spawning season in Montana.

[Spencer Newarth]

No. Okay. He's not gonna give it away. You didn't have to. You didn't have to.

[Corey]

Yeah, it was. They're in Idaho too, aren't they?

[Giannis]

West Virginia's got a couple anyway.

[Spencer Newarth]

Really?

[Corey]

There were two bull trout researchers on the stream I was on counting reds like spawning beds. They were not pleased with us. And then they're like, you know, there's a lot of grizzly bears in here.

[Christina]

They do go hand.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bull trout were confused by anglers and biologists until 1978, when the Ohio State University demonstrated that they are a distinct species from Dolly Varden. They did so through genetic testing, which showed that populations in the lower 48 are different from those in Alaska. The bull trout has been listed as threatened as a threatened species since 1999, with their greatest threats being habitat loss, climate change, non native fish. And Brody Henderson.

[Corey]

I've caught like two.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's on the legal stream, though. Question seven.

[Corey]

It wasn't. I wasn't like there illegally.

[Spencer Newarth]

We get you.

[Giannis]

I'll tell you what, the first time I saw one come out of the depths, as we're. As we were like skipping like a 10 inch rainbow across the surface to the net. And all of a sudden this leviathan comes out of the depths and takes us swipe at it. Pretty special.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's cool.

[Giannis]

Then we try to find the largest streamers we had in the boat.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody. Brody. They are in found in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon and historically in a few other states. Question 7. The topic is cooking. Ironically, this French food that translates to fresh cream is often compared to sour cream. This is question seven. Ironically, this French food that translates to quote, fresh cream is often compared to sour cream. Randall and Brody, quick to answer. You boys have this one right?

[Randall]

I believe so, but I've lost all confidence now after that last question.

[Christina]

I feel like I learned this in a South park episode.

[Spencer Newarth]

I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I'm trying to remember how to spell it. Yeah, that's the hard part too.

[Christina]

Spelling counts too, so.

[Giannis]

No, it doesn't count in this game.

[Spencer Newarth]

There's a few hints regarding spelling. And Randy Marsh. Ironically, this French food that translates to fresh cream is often compared to sour cream.

[Corey]

I think there's some scale at which like spelling does count because I just saw how Giannis wrote this down.

[Giannis]

Oh, is everybody's doing it that way so that Spencer can easily read it and pronounce it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine and Tressa and Matt and Randall. The entire room says creme Fresh.

[Randall]

Brody even added a diacritical.

[Spencer Newarth]

Thank you, South Park. That everybody the correct answer.

[Sponsor]

Creme Fresh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Creme Fresh. Food Network describes creme fresh as tasting rich. And look at this callback. Tangy. It can be served in a variety of ways, like as a topping on veggies or meat or in soups or mashed potatoes. Danielle Pruitt uses it as a spread on her venison steak sandwiches. A recipe you can get on theme eater.com? 8. The topic is wildlife. And this next great question is via Jaden Paxton. According to Audubon, juvenile bald eagles are, quote, the source of many misidentifications of this other bird. According to Audubon juvenile bald eagles are the source of many misidentifications of this other bird. Brody, Randall, Corey, Yanni and Matt all quick to answer this.

[Randall]

We saw one of these this weekend.

[Spencer Newarth]

Take off the juvenile. No, no, the legit.

[Randall]

The big boy.

[Corey]

A real bald eagle.

[Randall]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Spencer Newarth]

He's just gonna quit. Now Christine is revisiting her answer. Christine, you think you have this one right?

[Giannis]

Wild Turkey?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, I really thought I had it Right. But that does impact my. Randall was worried he was giving too much of a hint.

[Randall]

I know we're getting too playful now.

[Spencer Newarth]

He may have thrown off one of the players. According to Audubon, juvenile bald eagles are the source of many misidentifications of this other bird. I think I have had this misidentification multiple times. I don't think I've ever seen the other bird that the question is asking for. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying golden eagle. Tressa says vulture. Matt and Randall and Corey and Giannis. You've never seen a golden eagle. Saying golden eagle. The correct answer is golden eagle.

[Corey]

You've definitely seen a golden eagle.

[Spencer Newarth]

Let me tell you about their populations here at the end of the factoid, which is why I'm skeptical that I've ever seen them. Real thing golden eagles and juvenile bald eagles are about the same size and color. Audubon says the birds brown heads and birders. Wishful thinking cost so many misidentifications. In America, there are only 30,000 golden eagles compared to 320,000 bald eagles. So only 30,000 of those things.

[Christina]

We would have saw some on the yellow.

[Giannis]

I've seen 10,000 of them myself, but I'm skeptical.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm. I'm not as willing to be like, oh, yeah, we saw 10 for take.

[Randall]

Off of a fence post from like, 30 yards away as we were driving.

[Corey]

If you drove around. If you drove around in eastern Montana right now. Oh, yeah, just driving down roads looking for roadkill, deer or elk, you'd see a golden eagle.

[Spencer Newarth]

I just assume when I'm looking at one that I'm seeing a juvenile. I'm too pessimistic about it.

[Randall]

Have some faith in yourself, Spencer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Jeez, Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update.

[Matt]

Ah, Tressa and Christine, I think you're a little too far behind to catch up to the leaders of the pack. Whom are. Who are? I don't know. You tell me. Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, who are.

[Matt]

Matt and Corey have five points, Randall and Giannis have six. And in first place, he pulled ahead. It's Brody Henderson with seven.

[Spencer Newarth]

Corey shaking his head, looking in Giannis's direction because he gave him the bull trout.

[Christina]

Anderson, I'll take a bone when you have time.

[Corey]

He'll buy you vitamin R later. Maybe two.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Question nine. The topic is hunting. This NASCAR driver who was nicknamed the Intimidator was featured on Realtree's Best of monster bucks, volumes 1, 3, and 7.

[Corey]

Do you have those in your Video library, Randall?

[Randall]

No, no. The only hunting DVDs of this style that I own are Hounds in Hot Pursuit, volumes one and two.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's probably like that Elk of North America book where it's.

[Corey]

Have you seen those? You should get those.

[Randall]

Oh, they're phenomenal.

[Giannis]

What's that?

[Corey]

Hounds and Hot.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall will sell it to you.

[Randall]

Yeah, I used to watch these all the time.

[Giannis]

What are they chasing?

[Randall]

Everything. There's one where deer. No. Animals that go in trees. No, no, they do kill. They do kill a pig too. But there's a. They go and shoot a lynx in Canada.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Randall]

And the guy who's like running the dog like the guide is wearing like a one piece ski suit from the 70s. It's like neon colors and stuff like that.

[Giannis]

Is it vhs?

[Randall]

Dvd? Dvd.

[Spencer Newarth]

So be a media movie club. But only Randall gets to participate that week.

[Randall]

Oh, it's a great. It's a great.

[Giannis]

I forgot the question again.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question nine. Topic is hunting. This NASCAR driver who was nicknamed the Intimidator was featured on Real Trees Best of monster bucks, volumes 1, 3 and 7. For those of you who got it right, is it because of the nickname the Intimidator or because you remember this person was featured on some hunting DVDs?

[Corey]

Never seen these DVDs.

[Christina]

Okay, I'm gonna need to wait to see.

[Corey]

Maybe I haven't. I don't know it, but I don't think I've seen them.

[Christina]

I don't know if I'm right.

[Spencer Newarth]

The Intimidator, the nickname. Matt, you have this one right? I think so. Okay.

[Corey]

And you know you put a clue up on the board.

[Christina]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Some people might not realize. Is everybody ready? Yanni, you give up?

[Giannis]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't even know if this is.

[Corey]

Oh, I see what you're devil's in the details.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni.

[Giannis]

Oh, like his number is in there?

[Spencer Newarth]

No, I thought it was something else. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying Dale Earnhardt. Tressa says Dale Earnhardt. She crossed out Junior. Matt says Dale Earnhardt. Randall says Dale Earnhardt. Senior. Corey says Dale Earnhardt. Senior. Yanni. Dale Earnhardt. Brody. Dale Earnhardt. Everybody got it correct. The correct answer is Dale Earnhardt. What's your problem? I don't think he was. Was he actually Senior or was it just Junior?

[Randall]

Dale, Senior.

[Corey]

If it was Junior, I would have of wrote Junior. Come on now you, you get.

[Giannis]

Because it was so far back, I'm like, I'm gonna go with daddy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Because the hint was that number three was in there. I thought it was because snap. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Once told a story of his dad catching a poacher on their North Carolina farm in 1993. Senior heard a gunshot on his property, found the dead big buck, and then waited for the poacher. When the poacher got to the deer, Earnhardt emerged from the bushes and ran the man down. When he caught him, he punched the man in the face so hard that he broke his hand. Earnhardt had to wear a cast after that, but lied about how he got it because he didn't want more people knowing about the big bucks on his farm. Dale Earnhardt Senior, thank you. Here's a correct answer review so far. Number one, heart attack while fighting a grass fire. Two, Rainier. Three, Tangy. Four, Washington, D.C. five, Ballistic coefficient. Six, Bull Trout. Seven, Creme Fresh. Eight, Golden Eagles. Nine. Dale Earnhardt Senior. Phil, give us a scoreboard update one last time. All right.

[Matt]

Brody is still in the lead with eight points, but Giannis and Randall have seven and can catch up if Brody slips.

[Spencer Newarth]

Here's question 10. The topic is fishing.

[Giannis]

Pretty greasy in here.

[Corey]

It's icy.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 2024 cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay. Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 2024 cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay. Brody, who has a one point lead, was the quickest to answer. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Corey]

We'll find out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, do you have this one?

[Corey]

Feeling pretty good, I guess.

[Randall]

I don't know. I. I had a gut instinct and I'm just trusting it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

Like Dale Earnhardt senior would have done.

[Christina]

I'd love to know the statistic of your question. 10 questions. I feel like majority of the time they fall under fishing.

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't think that's true. I also don't have a way of tracking it without manually going back and looking at every episode, so you can be right.

[Matt]

I'm kind of with Corey. I've noticed that, too. I don't know how accurate it is, but.

[Christina]

Okay, well. And most of the time, Brody's in the lead by one, and it's fishing. Question.

[Corey]

Are you saying this is rigged?

[Christina]

No, I'm just, you know, be nice.

[Corey]

If there was, like, Spencer, never rig it. My favorite.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll tell you, Brody's a big Bassmaster fan, as we all know.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Bassmaster started hosting tournaments for this fish in 2003 with the 202024 cup held at Florida's Apalachicola Bay.

[Corey]

What you got?

[Giannis]

What kind of bird is that on your hat?

[Corey]

This? I think it's.

[Spencer Newarth]

Show it to me.

[Giannis]

Like a hunt.

[Corey]

Yeah, I think it's a hunt.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Christina]

Chucker.

[Spencer Newarth]

Chucker.

[Corey]

It might be a chucker.

[Spencer Newarth]

Little devil bird.

[Corey]

I don't know. It was on the free table, so I took it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I like when your kids come into the office. It doesn't matter if it's Yanni's, Brody's, or Steve's. They go right to the free table.

[Giannis]

Oh, they love that.

[Matt]

You can hear them screaming.

[Giannis]

Table from across the hats. I'm like, whatever you guys take, just make sure did not come from our house.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think that has happened to the Rinellas before. I heard Steve tell one of the kids as they were walking out the door that he just brought that in that day. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Christine saying tarpon. She crossed out reds.

[Giannis]

Oh.

[Spencer Newarth]

Tressa says bass. Matt says largemouth bass. Randall says snook. Corey says crappie. Giannis says peacock bass. Brody says redfish.

[Giannis]

I like having a different answer than Brody.

[Spencer Newarth]

We have a correct answer in the room. It's redfish. Making Brody our winner with nine correct answers.

[Corey]

Definitely no. Because, like, bass guys and redfish guys, like, use a lot of the same man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. Friend of the show. Brandon Palahnik competed in this year's fish.

[Giannis]

How'd he do?

[Spencer Newarth]

He got third place. But let me tell you about what else happened there. Gary Moreno and Tony viator won the 2024 Bassmaster Redfish cup in October, but were disqualified a month later. The anglers failed to pass a polygraph test after a competitor protested that they broke Rule 5. Rule 5 covers the practice policies indicating the anglers were either pre fishing Appalachicola Bay in the three weeks leading up to the tournament, or they solicited information during the tournament from someone outside of the competition. As a result, the second place team, Mike Frenette and Mark Robinson, were declared the winners, and Brandon Palahnik's team got third place. But after the dq, they ended up getting second.

Don't we all know that polygraphs are questionable in their accuracy?

[Spencer Newarth]

I'd like that Bassmaster uses them.

[Randall]

I think we've all moved on. Except for Bassmaster.

[Spencer Newarth]

They didn't have any details on their website besides saying this team broke Rule 5 by failing this polygraph. I'd like to know what specifically happened and who ratted them out.

[Randall]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Phil, any final updates here? Brody wins with nine points, followed by Randall and Giannis. With seven, Corey and Matt with six. Brody as the winner. You get to choose with a 500 donation from Meat Eater Goes.

[Corey]

What's it gonna be in order to. In the last couple years, there's been a bill introduced in Pennsylvania to end. To end Sunday hunting or to, to allow Sunday hunting. They have like three Sundays you're allowed to hunt now. But this blue laws. Yeah, this bill would make all, you know, every Sunday legal. And it's like both times that bill has been tabled without ever being voted on. It just happened again a few days ago. So I'm gonna donate the money to. To Pennsylvania BHA to help them get this thing kind of across the finish line, hopefully in the next year.

[Spencer Newarth]

So hard to fathom that that still exists.

[Corey]

Yeah. And it used to be a lot of the pushback was from the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau for various reasons. Trespassing maybe was one of them, but they're like other issues. But now the Farm Bureau is on board because Pennsylvania's deer population is high and they're damaging crops and things like that. So with the Farm Bureau on board, hopefully it gets across the finish.

[Giannis]

Well, I saw some dandy bucks come out of Pennsylvania this year.

[Spencer Newarth]

Makes you wish you could hunt on Sundays there. Brody sending $500 to the Pennsylvania BHA. And Merry Christmas, everyone. This episode's coming out on Christmas Day. Our next episode is New Year's Day, which as a reminder, you should come listen because Phil Taylor is going to be hosting that.

[Randall]

Oh, it's gonna be a bundle.

[Spencer Newarth]

Very exciting. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[Giannis]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Randall]

Merry, Merry Christmas.

[Corey]

Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth, mellow tones, he lays them questions down and he likes taking those two and three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.

Hey, guys, earlier this year we launched Meat Eater Kids Podcast. And we made a deal where if you guys liked it and loved it and listened to it, we were gonna make more. And you did. And we did. And we're dropping a bunch new. Five new Meat Eater Kids podcast episodes starting November 25th. Again, it's a kid's show. You listen to it with your kids. It occurs in three acts. There's a little history lesson or a wildlife ecology lesson. There's a animal call game that you play by listening to animal calls and trying to guess what animals you're hearing based on some clues. And then real live kids come in the studio and play kids trivia and work together to build up a little pot of money to donate to kids focused conservation organizations. So, Meat Eater Kids podcast coming back. Round two, Meat Eater Kids.
