Head to ram.com to find the right Ram heavy duty truck for your next trip outdoors. That's r dot com. Hey, American history buffs. Hunting history buffs, listen up. We're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition, titled the Mountain Men 1806-1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellas like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Colter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the west represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times, violent conditions. We explain what started the mountain man era and what ended it. We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interact with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white tailed deer skin trade, which is titled the Long Hunters 1761-1775. So again, you can buy this wherever audiobooks are sold.

[Spencer Newarth]

It's a Meat Eater podcast. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer New Arth. And today we're joined by Giannis Randall Brody, Colin, Nate Tressa, and Cade McParlin. Cade, tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

[Cade McParlin]

I'm a retail store associate in the downtown location. And then when I'm not working in Bozeman, I'm a fishing guide in Alaska and a hunting guide here in Montana.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, so when does that season kick off for you?

[Cade McParlin]

Right now where I'm guiding at in Alaska, we don't get started until the end of June just because it's way up from the ocean. All the fish are still kicking their way up. So I started driving up there about the end of, you know, June 20th. Something like that get up there. For my first round of clients. July 6th.

[Spencer Newarth]

And I understand it's someone's birthday today. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. How old are you, kid?

[Cade McParlin]

23. I hate to show my age but hopefully. Well, I, I don't. I think I'm at a little bit of a disadvantage.

[Spencer Newarth]

Gives you some of the room if you don't do well, be like, yeah, I'm 23 years old.

[Giannis Patelis]

I'm half the age of that guy that just won.

[Spencer Newarth]

Now this is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. And there is a prize. Meat eater will donate $500 to the Conservation organization of the winners choosing and for the stand of the week. This week we're looking at the continuation of the overtime drought that we're currently in. We haven't had a game go to overtime since December 4th, meaning we're on a 15 week overtime drought. World was very different 15 weeks ago. You think you boys got in you today for an overtime game?

[Nate]

Oh yeah, I think we could rig it just to have.

[Colin]

Yeah, I was going to say we can arrange that.

[Spencer Newarth]

15 weeks. I'm going to have to fact check.

[Giannis Patelis]

Just like an infrequently asked question. Just dropping it in there strategically.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm going to have to refact check these overtime questions, they were written so long ago, who knows what's changed? All right, here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia the media.com with the subject line IFAQ. Landon Tucker says does the crew listen to episodes they're not on? Dispenser, listen back to episodes that he is on. What about Phil?

[Giannis Patelis]

That's a good question.

[Nate]

Well, Phil has to listen to him, right?

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, Too many times.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, that's right.

[Spencer Newarth]

No one's more familiar than Phil.

[Phil]

Yep.

[Randall]

I don't know if I count as the crew, you know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Sure, yeah, Nate.

[Randall]

But I'm two behind Randall in the championship right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Randall]

And I'm quite perturbed.

[Spencer Newarth]

That means you're tied with Steve going on episode three.

[Randall]

I'm one ahead of Steve.

[Spencer Newarth]

One ahead of Steve. Wow.

[Colin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Randall]

Steve's three back and I know it's not the same blah blah, blah, but dude, I'm, I'm hot on it right now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate is fixing.

[Randall]

I can't wait for tomorrow.

[Spencer Newarth]

Fixing to be the king jabroni this summer when we have the jabroni tournament. Yanni, do you listen to episodes you're not here for?

[Giannis Patelis]

Not usually.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Colin]

Nate, I'm surprised you didn't score yourself. You know, instead of scoring yourself three or two behind me. How many ahead of Seth are you?

[Randall]

Oh, dude, Seth, I. I'm. I'll be honest. I think there's some chicanery going on with Seth being in and me not being in, but I'll rest.

[Spencer Newarth]

You can start keeping the stats.

[Randall]

Nate, I do want to meet your stats guy.

[Giannis Patelis]

I wish if there was, like, a little filter on Apple podcasts where I could just filter Yanni episodes or not, then I could. Then I would probably listen to it. But to go in and, like, figure it out, I'm like, yeah, you mean.

[Nate]

You listen to your own or not listen to your own?

[Giannis Patelis]

No, I would not listen to the ones I.

[Spencer Newarth]

We're like 160 episodes in. I've probably listened to 120 of them. It's like watching game film. I want to.

[Phil]

Oh, God.

[Giannis Patelis]

Hey.

[Phil]

Sorry, guys. People watching video can see that. I'm doing some live troubleshooting here. I've just wrapped it up. I am sorry about that.

[Spencer Newarth]

What was that endless void?

[Phil]

It was just a feedback loop from the room. We're good now. Everything's good.

[Spencer Newarth]

I listen back to the episodes to prevent things like that. I want it. It's like watching game film. I want to. I want to do really good job for you, Gu. So, wanna know how it sounds?

[Randall]

You know, go ahead.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, no, you're first.

[Randall]

Speaking of stats, while I was in Germany, not employed at this company, I sent you an email about keeping stats.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, you did?

[Colin]

Yes.

[Randall]

You can find it. You shouldn't look it up, though, because it was a terrible attempt.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'm gonna go find that email. Nate, Thirsty.

[Giannis Patelis]

What's the sort of biggest piece of, like, personal feedback that you've taken from listening to 120 episodes that you've changed about your. The way you present the show?

[Spencer Newarth]

I don't know that it's like one big thing. It's just like hearing what a good question is. Hearing when to, like, ramp up the banter if we're taking too much time to answer. Not enough time. I think things like that. Just finding filler for the show.

[Nate]

So when you cut Randall's Happy Birthday song off, that was like.

[Colin]

Songs never go well.

[Spencer Newarth]

20 episodes of data. We shouldn't have a full Happy Birthday.

[Giannis Patelis]

I would have let it go. Randall sounded good.

[Colin]

Yeah, that. Well, the first part of the song's easy, is when you get to the. You climb up to that higher Pitch. That's where I fall apart.

[Nate]

Sometimes I wish you were in the room when Randall's doing his movie reviews because they go on a real.

[Spencer Newarth]

No, those are meant to go.

[Colin]

That's part of the bit.

[Giannis Patelis]

See, I didn't know that there was, like, a different part in that song.

[Colin]

Where it goes, you know.

[Giannis Patelis]

All right, we can clear out Randall.

[Spencer Newarth]

If you'd like to do the whole thing.

[Colin]

No, no, no. I'd have to start from the beginning.

[Phil]

It's in the public domain now, so go on for as long as you want.

[Spencer Newarth]

We have some housekeeping to get to. During the meat eater tournament, we had a question about taxonomic ranking. This inspired a few listeners to write in with phrases they've memorized so that they always remember the hierarchy of life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Sean Richardson wrote in, and this is a classic mnemonic. King Philip came over for green soup. Lainey Miller had a similar rhyme to Sean. King Philip came over for good spaghetti. Logan Fusin. This one is morbid. Kids playing cards on freeway get smashed. And then we had Mike Black. This one's really unique. Don't kick people's crotches. Otherwise fights get started. And then we had Alex Frost. He said he learned this from a teaching assistant in college. Dear Karen, please come over for ganja smoke. And then Emily Waller making a similar request as Alex. Dear Kevin, please come over for great sex. So you've got a lot of ways there that you can always remember the taxonomic rankings.

[Colin]

Like the kids on the freeway. I'll remember that.

[Spencer Newarth]

People are never going to forget it again, especially thanks to Alex and Emily. All right, 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. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? Just tend to win everything.

[Colin]

Game on, suckers.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 1. The topic is hunting. This will be multiple choice. And this first great question is via Randy Hodge. What does the federal tax stamp cost when applying for a suppressor? Is it $100, $200, $300, or $400?

[Giannis Patelis]

How do you know this?

[Colin]

This question weeds out those of us who have paid for our own suppressor stamp.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni.

[Randall]

Or people who are looking to get one.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni owned a suppressor but didn't have to pay for his tax stamp. So what did that federal tax stamp cost? $100, $200, $300, $400. Nate, would you like to know who wins the meat eater trivia tournament.

[Randall]

No, I want to be. I want to be surprised tomorrow.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right. Who do you think is going to win?

[Randall]

I mean, it'd be tough to beat Randall. He's up three.

[Spencer Newarth]

Unless you're Nate and you're only two behind.

[Randall]

Yeah, but, you know, sucks to suck. Didn't make the cut.

[Colin]

Sucks to suck.

[Spencer Newarth]

Maybe this year. This is. This is the beginning of your journey, Nate, to qualifying for the 2025 media.

[Randall]

Is that year is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, we're gonna go stats for this whole year again. Question one. What does the federal tax stamp cost in applying for a suppressor? $100, $200, $300. This is the $400.

[Giannis Patelis]

This is the fresh new season. I've already forgot about last year's champion.

[Spencer Newarth]

Does everyone have an answer?

[Giannis Patelis]

We're all che so far here.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying 200. Tressa, 200. Cade, 200. Randall, 200. Colin, $100. Giannis and Brody say 200. The correct answer is $200. The suppressor tax stamp was introduced in 1934, and surprisingly, it was also $200 then. Their goal was to discourage people from purchasing them, which they accomplished by creating a fee that's the equivalent of $4,800 today.

[Randall]

So wasn't that also the price of machine guns at the time?

[Colin]

Yeah, all NFA, because it was supposed.

[Randall]

To be 100 tax.

[Colin]

All class four.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, that 200 tax one seems steep. But 100 years ago, like, if you're.

[Colin]

Gonna SBR something at home, I wish.

[Giannis Patelis]

That that had happened with the price of Latvian summer high school. I remember what it cost because my dad like, pattern in my head. What did it cost When I was. I think it was. It was like six weeks for like, it was either a thousand or 1500 bucks.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis Patelis]

20 years ago, I was telling Jennifer the other day, I'm like, yeah, no big deal, you know? And then all of a sudden, I look at the prices, I'm like, yeah, golly, Summer high school got really expensive. Oh, my gosh.

[Colin]

Yeah, I just said something wrong and I'd like to correct it. Okay, it's going to bother me.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go for it.

[Colin]

They're. They're form one and form four, but they're class three NFA items. So for those that would write in, please don't.

[Spencer Newarth]

They've already sent their email, Randall. It's too late.

[Nate]

Question again. Self a nomin for head of ATF here.

[Spencer Newarth]

The topic is conservation. In this next great question is via Colby Parrot. This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger. The topic is conservation. This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger. And, Colby, I'm not sure if your last name is Perry or parrot.

This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park ranger. I don't see any answers yet on the whiteboards. Nate is joining Randall by making a list looking for the 38th president. Phil, would you get this one right.

[Phil]

Just by using the Randall method? I did not know that this man was a park ranger.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right.

[Cade McParlin]

This is one of those questions that is going to show my age.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, you got a birthday? That's in the 2000s, Kade.

[Cade McParlin]

Post 9 11, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Damn. This man was the 38th president and America's only president to work as a national park.

[Nate]

What you got written down there, Giannis?

[Giannis Patelis]

What do I. Oh, you want to see it?

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you two agree on your answer?

[Giannis Patelis]

No.

[Spencer Newarth]

No. They have different ANSWERS For America's 38th president.

[Nate]

Any means.

[Giannis Patelis]

Let me see.

[Spencer Newarth]

Randall, do you have this one right?

[Colin]

I think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

No.

[Colin]

It's kind of an interesting. Interesting one thinking about it correctly, but I could not be. I don't know. We'll see.

[Spencer Newarth]

Nate, I saw you making a list. How do you feel about your answer?

[Randall]

It's not good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Randall]

Not great.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Carter. Tressa says Bush. Cade says Ford. Randall says Nixon. Colin says Teddy Roosevelt. Giannis says Hoover.

[Phil]

Wow.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody says Carter. The correct answer is Gerald Ford. Got that one right. Well done, Cade. Gerald Ford worked at Yellowstone as a park ranger in 1936 at the age of 23. He spent that summer directing traffic, supervising campgrounds, and greeting guests at the Canyon Hotel and Lodge. He said his favorite duty was running the truck that would feed the park's bears. Gerald?

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, hell, yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question.

[Giannis Patelis]

Hold on. We need to figure out where Cade pulled that from.

[Spencer Newarth]

He was the only one to get it right. Cade trying to figure out how I.

[Colin]

Got an extra president there, you know?

[Spencer Newarth]

Well, do you want to. Should we work through him here?

[Colin]

So you made it to 37, I guess.

[Colin]

Did we do that, right?

[Spencer Newarth]

Question three. The topic is foraging. Porcini and penny bun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Yanni, quick to answer. Porcini and penny bun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom.

[Giannis Patelis]

Never heard the penny bun one.

[Spencer Newarth]

But you have heard porcini?

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Porcini and penny bun are nicknames for the king variety of this mushroom. Randall, how do you feel about your answer this time?

[Spencer Newarth]

Kade. With the only perfect game so far, Kade's going to earn himself an invite to the 2025 tournament.

The correct answer is bolet. King bolettes are one of the most common edible mushrooms in the world. They are also one of the biggest. They grow in grassy, forested areas where you'd expect to find chanterelles. The nickname porcini translates to little pigs in Italian, a moniker given to them by the Romans. Question 4. The topic is gear. This brand, which made their first tackle box in 1952 and first bow case in 1995, is named after an Illinois city. This brand, which made their first tackle box in 1952 and first bow case in 1995, is named after an Illinois city. Colin. Very quick to answer. Colin, you're from that part of the world, right?

[Colin]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm. I'm grappling with that possibility.

[Spencer Newarth]

I'll be as bad as me.

[Colin]

I feel pretty good about this one, though.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Colin]

I'm still trying to count. I'm I wrote the numbers down again. I'm trying to figure out how I screwed this up.

[Colin]

H. All right. Did you do that again?

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, here we go. We'll start from 38. 38 was Ford. 37 was Nixon. If. If that is messy. 39 Carter, 40, Reagan. 41, Bush. 42, Clinton. 43, Bush. 44, Obama. 45, Trump. 46, Biden, 47, Trump.

[Colin]

See, here's what I've done this time.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay?

[Colin]

I have two lines going to Clinton. So I counted Clinton twice because of this corner in my list. I've really made a grave error here just in how I laid out my table.

[Spencer Newarth]

But you feel good about your answer for the brand that made their first tackle box in 1952 and first bow case in 1995. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Pelican, Tressa, Orvis, Cade Plano, Randall Plano, Colin Plano, Giannis Plano crossed out Flambeau. Brody crossed out Plano and put Flambeau. The correct answer is Plano. About half of our players got that one right. Plano makes tackle boxes, bow cases, gun cases, storage trunks, ammo cases, and coolers. They created the world's best selling tackle box after making a model with collapsible trays in the 1950s. Both of their original factories are still in operation. Flambeau is in Wisconsin, and that's named after the Wisconsin River. The Flambeau River.

[Giannis Patelis]

So what was throwing me off is. Is all I could think of was Plano, Texas.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, that would confuse you. Plano, Illinois, is just outside of Chicago, and it was a set location for man of Steel. Can you picture that? Phil, have you seen man of Steel?

[Phil]

Unfortunately, yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Was that a bad one?

[Phil]

Pretty bad one. Okay, so when we're Kevin Costner gets voluntarily sucked up into a tornado. It's very funny.

[Spencer Newarth]

Voluntarily?

[Phil]

Voluntarily.

[Spencer Newarth]

That's like to save the planet or what?

[Phil]

Well, Superman has to make a choice, Spencer, to reveal his powers and save his adopted father. Adopt the father or let him get sucked into a tornado. And Kevin Costner puts his. Puts his hand up, says, no, son.

[Spencer Newarth]

I will get sucked into this tornado in Plano, Illinois. He pulled that off. Question five. The topic is fishing. Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell are the biggest lakes in this state. A tough round for our players to start the 2025 regular season. Lake Marion, La Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell are the biggest lakes in this state. Randall, very quick to answer. Randall, do you know this one?

[Colin]

Do I know any of these answers? Spencer? I'd lost all confidence.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Colin]

These mushrooms, these poorly drawn out presidential tables. I think Phil's recounting of that plot, twisted man of Steel is probably the highlight of this game for me so far, so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Me too. Yanni, do you have this one right?

[Giannis Patelis]

I've got a good. Okay, good guess.

[Spencer Newarth]

The biggest lakes in this state are Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell.

[Giannis Patelis]

I had a lot of good adventures walking around my neighborhood and Latvian summer camp with good old Plano tackle box in it.

[Spencer Newarth]

I think you can picture exactly tackle box that you're talking about with the foldable trays that really changed things in the 50s for them. Does everybody have an answer?

[Giannis Patelis]

I think everybody went through the stage where if you sort of neglected it for a little bit and you came back and half the shit in there would be, like, melted somehow. And you kind of had to decide whether you could just get a new tackle box, like a little.

[Spencer Newarth]

And it gets rusty.

[Colin]

You left a little Styrofoam cup of nightcraw in there.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, yeah.

[Colin]

Then put it away in the garage for a few months.

[Spencer Newarth]

Lake Marion, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Moultrie and Lake Hartwell. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Alabama. Tressa says Kansas. Cade, Minnesota. Randall, South Carolina. Colin, Alabama. Giannis, Alabama. Brody, Georgia. We have a correct answer. It's South Carolina.

[Colin]

No. Just on strom Thurmond.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah. 110,000 acres. Lake Marion is the 35th biggest lake in America. It reaches across five counties, giving it the nickname of South Carolina's inland sea. Lake Strom Thurmond is the country's 48th biggest lake. Lake Moultrie is 55th, and Lake Murray is 68th. And that lake Strom Thurmond, it has two different names. The federal name is Lake Strom Thurmond, but then it's on the border of Georgia, South Carolina. Georgia calls it Clark Hill Lake, I believe. I think was Strom Thurmond. Was he a controversial.

[Colin]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

Politician?

[Nate]

Yes.

[Spencer Newarth]

And yeah. The federal level, though, recognizes it as that name. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update.

[Colin]

I don't even know what's going to say.

[Phil]

Oh wow, here we are. Everyone's on the board but Nate, Tressa and colin all have one point. Brody Henderson has two and we have a three way tie. In first place are Randall Giannis and our post 911 baby K. All right, three points. Completely skirting the Steve Rinella theory that the older you are, the better you do.

[Spencer Newarth]

I can smell over time shelby index on 4.

[Nate]

Oh.

[Colin]

Phil, can we clip that sound?

[Commercial Voiceover]

Out in the wild, the right gear makes all the difference. And it starts with having the right truck. The Ram heavy duty lineup. Now this is power that goes the distance. With the available high output 6.7 liter Cummins turbo diesel and a 50 gallon fuel tank to help you travel further without needing to stop and refill, you can haul it all with a commanding payload capacity. It's got plenty of power to tow boats, campers, gear trailers, stuff with blinds and who knows, a big old elk lane in the back. And we're talking serious off road performance. Advanced features like available Bilstein shocks and electronic locking differentials because getting to the perfect hunting spot isn't always easy. And smart storage, the available Rambox cargo management system helps keep your hunting and fishing gear secure and organized. It's pretty sweet. Head to ram.com to find the right Ram heavy duty truck for your next trip outdoors. That's R A m dot com I'm.

[Steve Rinella]

Telling you man, there's nothing quite like it gives me chubby just thinking about it. You hit the call and way off in the distance, a tom fires back. You work them in, watching his body language shift from cautious to committed. Then that moment, the one every turkey hunter dreams about all winter. Zach Gobbler locks eyes on your decoy and comes running in. And if you're using the right decoy, you don't need to then settle for a 40 yard nervous shot. Because with the right decoy, you can get that bird in your lap putting on a wild aggressive turkey show. I mean, I'm talking where he's fighting the decoy. I've had him sitting there trying to mate with the decoy. It's the best thing in the world. But to pull it off, you need realism like you need decoys that don't just fool turkeys at a distance. You want a decoy that fools him when he's up there at point blank range beating the snot out of it. That is why die Hard turkey hunters insist on Dave Smith decoys. Their unmatched realism fools even the wariest of toms into thinking they're staring and fighting a real bird. And unlike inflatable decoys that crumble when shot, DSDs are built tough. They last season after season, even if you screw up and put a little tss into one of them. To top it all off, every DSD turkey decoy is made right here in the good old US Of A. Made in America. Check out the full [e-mail] and take your turkey hunts to the next level.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question 6. The topic is cooking. The New York Times recipe for this condiment combines ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The New York Times recipe for this condiment combines ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Randall and Yanni, quick to answer. You boys optimistic about your answer?

[Colin]

I feel pretty good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Colin, you got this one right.

[Phil]

Yeah, I feel okay. Not that confident.

[Colin]

But I had some strong horseradish this weekend.

[Spencer Newarth]

What was the occasion?

[Phil]

Hot dogs.

[Colin]

The. The Montana Wild Sheep foundation banquet. Got a big slab of prime rib and there's creamy horseradish and then there's just the straight. The straight stuff.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Giannis Patelis]

I saw a picture of you there. You're looking all fancied up.

[Colin]

Yeah, that's.

[Spencer Newarth]

Was he.

[Colin]

That's my banquet outfit.

[Spencer Newarth]

Give me a description, Yanni.

[Giannis Patelis]

His hair was real slick. Looked like his hair had some product in it.

[Colin]

I put about. Yeah, I put about 3 handfuls of grease in my hair, slicked it straight back. Got a little cowboy shirt with silver piping and then you couldn't see it. But my belt buckle, my Cincinnati Bengals belt buckle was hidden just underneath the table. And I had my tacoba's boots on.

[Spencer Newarth]

Wow.

[Colin]

Looking like it's good.

[Phil]

Speaking of whoever put the tobos on the free table, thank you very much.

[Spencer Newarth]

Size, Phil.

[Phil]

My size. Brand spiggity new out of the box.

[Giannis Patelis]

Hell know you were at 11 now.

[Spencer Newarth]

Good for you, Phil. I know your wardrobe needed some cowboy boots.

[Phil]

These are just. These are just some, some classy looking work boots from toa.

[Spencer Newarth]

Again, the New York Times recipe for this condiment combines ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce and worshire sauce.

[Giannis Patelis]

I make it about the same way and I didn't know.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you.

[Giannis Patelis]

I never thought to look up a recipe.

[Spencer Newarth]

This is a very agreed upon recipe. The top recipe from all recipes. The top recipe from the Food Network. They all basically use.

[Randall]

I've made this and I cannot remember the name.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, boys. Give up yet then? Brody, are you ready? Sure, Nate.

[Randall]

Sure.

[Spencer Newarth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying A one. Tressa says aioli. Kate says fry sauce. Randall says cocktail sauce. Colin says fry sauce. Yanni says cocktail sauce. Brody says steak sauce. The correct answer is cocktail sauce. About half of our players, I just.

[Nate]

Buy that stuff in a jar.

[Spencer Newarth]

Cocktail sauce got its name because of how it was served in cocktail glasses during Prohibition. The condiment gained popularity once railroad transportation started moving shrimp across the continent. Besides shrimp, cocktail sauce is sometimes served with oysters, crab, mushrooms and veggies. Question 7. The topic is conservation. And this next great question is via Ethan Zonbrecker. This oil tycoon has a wildlife refuge in Louisiana named after him as well as a skyscraper in New York City. This oil tycoon has a wildlife refuge in Louisiana named after him as well as a skyscraper in New York City. Nate, the quickest to answer. Nate, you got this one right?

[Randall]

Yep.

[Spencer Newarth]

Brody, do you have this one right?

[Nate]

The way things are going, probably not.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. And Randall, how about you?

[Colin]

Feeling good.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. This oil tycoon has a wildlife refuge in Louisiana named after him as well as a skyscraper in New York City.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yanni, I don't believe I know any refuges in Louisiana.

[Colin]

Or many oil tycoons.

[Spencer Newarth]

Or skyscrapers.

[Giannis Patelis]

Or skyscrapers.

[Randall]

Three prong.

[Spencer Newarth]

Do you know any oil tycoons, though? Okay.

[Giannis Patelis]

I don't think so.

[Spencer Newarth]

Those three ingredients then are going to be tough for you to solve this one if you don't know oil tycoons, Louisiana wildlife refuges, or New York City.

[Colin]

I always thought you were more of a steel magnate guy. The center whenever we're. Yeah. Wait.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, Randall was giving eyes to Nate.

[Colin]

Yeah, I am.

[Spencer Newarth]

Kate, also quick to answer. K. Do you have a good answer?

[Colin]

I'm brisk.

[Cade McParlin]

I'm confident, but not overly confident.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Yanni, do you give up?

[Giannis Patelis]

I mean, I should write something down.

[Spencer Newarth]

As soon as you're done, we're gonna flip over the whiteboards. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Nate saying Rockefeller. Tressa says Trump. Cade. Rockefeller. Randall. John Rockefeller. Colin Rockefeller. Giannis says Shell. Brody. Rockefeller. The correct answer is Rockefeller. That's John Rockefeller. Randall had his whole name. John Rockefeller was one of the wealthiest Americans ever. His Rockefeller foundation donated 86, 000 acres of coastal wetlands to the state of Louisiana in 1919. Sportsmen can trap and fish on the refuge. The 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York is formally known as the Comcast Building, and it's home to NBC Studios.

[Colin]

I'd like to call for a formal vote of censure against Nate.

[Randall]

What?

[Colin]

Why is that saying center Carnegie Center? Oh, you're trying to throw him off.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yep.

[Colin]

Gotcha.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question eight.

[Randall]

So you're fine with that?

[Spencer Newarth]

Would you like to vote on something?

[Colin]

No, no, we're good. We're good.

[Randall]

You're the one who threw out the steel.

[Spencer Newarth]

Comment 8.

[Colin]

Yeah, that was. How would that lead him? All right.

[Randall]

It was the same. Same vein.

[Spencer Newarth]

The topic is hunting. Legendary hunter Jacques LaFleur is the antagonist in this 1987 comedy about Bigfoot. This will be tough for us. Legendary hunter Jacques LaFleur is the antagonist in this 1987 comedy about Bigfoot. Phil, would you get this one right? Yes. Do you have a movie review you can provide us after we reveal the answers?

[Phil]

I have not seen this film since I was probably six or seven years old.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Phil]

I mean, if you want six year old me.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yes, I do.

[Phil]

Man, two thumbs way up. Someone passed the Capri Sun.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was perfect.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, man.

[Spencer Newarth]

Legendary hunter Jacques LaFleur is the antagonist in this 1987 comedy about Bigfoot. Brody, do you have this one right?

[Nate]

We're about to find out.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yanni, do you have an answer?

[Giannis Patelis]

I have an answer.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Do you two think so?

[Giannis Patelis]

I only know one.

[Nate]

I only haven't seen it.

[Giannis Patelis]

One movie. I believe I like to make jokes.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

About this movie's title.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh.

[Nate]

To someone in this room.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, that's a maggot.

[Phil]

Yeah. Let's move it along.

[Spencer Newarth]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Joe Dirt. Tressa says et Cade without an answer. Randall says Harry and the Hendersons. Colin, Jack links, Giannis and Brody say Harry and the Hendersons. They got it. The correct answer is Harry and the Hendersons. What's your little joke, Yanni? About Brody. Why in the Hendersons?

[Giannis Patelis]

No, Brody's wife. I mean, yes, but Brody's wife's name.

[Spencer Newarth]

Oh, Carrie is Carrie. Carrie and the Hendersons.

[Colin]

I was trying to figure out who in this room had Harry as their real first name or whose name rhymed with Harry.

[Spencer Newarth]

Harry the Sasquatch gets hit by the Henderson's car and is then taken to their Seattle home. The family attempts to protect Harry as he's being tracked by the French Canadian hunter who's dedicated his life to killing a Bigfoot. The film has a noticeable continuity error when the fleurs rifle keeps changing from having a five round magazine to a ten round magazine. Bill, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard. Update.

[Phil]

Tressa Nate, Colin, you are no longer in the running for the victory. But we have Cade with four points. He's still in it. Brody Henderson has four as well. Giannis Patelis has five. And in first place, the big comeback, Randall Williams has six points.

[Spencer Newarth]

Question nine, the topic is public lands. This YouTuber was murdered by her boyfriend in the Bridger Teton National Forest in 2021. Brody has tossed his eraser onto the table. Does not like this question. Thank you Tressa and Randall and comedy.

[Giannis Patelis]

I mean it's the YouTuber and an.

[Spencer Newarth]

Outdoorsman not giving you any hints. All the information.

[Giannis Patelis]

Just wondering. Me and Brody are both wondering how this one falls into meat eaters vertical.

[Spencer Newarth]

Let me tell you. This YouTuber was murdered by her boyfriend in the Bridger Teton national forest in 2021. The topic was publicly.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, this YouTuber was murdered in the.

[Colin]

US high profile public lands crimes. Yeah, I see it.

[Nate]

Sure that's what it is.

[Spencer Newarth]

Listen, you two boys are wrong for thinking it's not. This is a great question.

[Phil]

I like it when you stand your ground. Spencer.

[Giannis Patelis]

I also freak Roseauer supermarket. Is anything that happens in there also going to be a trivia question?

[Spencer Newarth]

Maybe. I've asked questions about the most popular onion color before so sure. This YouTuber was murdered by her boyfriend in the Bridger Teton National Forest in 2021.

[Giannis Patelis]

This 14 and under soccer team which won their local championship went to Rose hours for fried chicken to celebrate and.

[Nate]

Ate their fried chicken in the Bridger Teton national store.

[Spencer Newarth]

There you go.

[Phil]

One to one comparison.

[Spencer Newarth]

You had a bad question Yanni, but Brody made it good. This YouTuber was.

[Phil]

You guys just have your question.

[Giannis Patelis]

I don't need to write the Bridger.

[Spencer Newarth]

Teton National Forest in 2021. This may separate Randall from the rest of the pack. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Jamie Tressa says Gabby Petito Cade without an answer. Randall and Colin say Gabby Petito Yanni and Brody without an answer. The correct answer is Gabby Petito. Gabby and her boyfriend Brian Laundrie were aspiring Van Life influencers. Laundrie strangled Petito near a campground just outside of the Grand Teton national park in August of 2021. Laundrie then fled to his parents house in Florida itself at the Carlton Reserve. A month after the murder this was all over the news. They even made a Netflix documentary they talked about.

[Nate]

I love how you think that because there was a Netflix documentary it's like some that somehow like gives it like a thing where this was one of.

[Spencer Newarth]

The biggest stories of 2021.

[Giannis Patelis]

I get it.

[Cade McParlin]

But I want to know if they got it because of the Netflix documentary or if they got it because they already knew about it.

[Spencer Newarth]

Netflix for sure. Okay.

[Colin]

I haven't watched the Netflix documentary, but I wouldn't have had that. I remembered the case. I didn't pay that much attention to it as it was happening, but the name stuck with me.

[Spencer Newarth]

How about you, Tressa? I followed the whole thing. Me, too. Someone who was sitting next to Brian Laundrie getting a beer around the time that it happened. Wow. All right, here's the correct answer.

[Nate]

People in this that got it right would have gotten it right without the Bridger Teton National Forest thing. Like, I don't. Like. I think they were just known that 100.

[Colin]

Sure.

[Giannis Patelis]

But had nothing to. Had nothing to do with the question. I don't think I would have got it happened there. That's right. So that's. How are you boys new to meat.

[Spencer Newarth]

Eater trivia or what? The question before this was about Harry and the Hendersons.

[Colin]

Yeah.

[Phil]

You guys had your softball question.

[Spencer Newarth]

That was ours. All right, here's a correct answer review so far. One was $200. Two was Gerald Ford. Three, Bolet. Four, Plano. Five, S.C. six, cocktail sauce. Seven, John Rockefeller. Eight, Harry and the Hendersons. Nine, Gabby Petito. Phil, give us one last scoreboard update. Yeah.

[Phil]

Well, what question was that? Was that. That was nine.

[Spencer Newarth]

Right.

[Phil]

Well, Randall Williams is too far ahead. No one can catch up. He's got seven points, but behind him are Giannis with five, Brody and Cade have four, Colin has three, Nate and Tressa have two.

[Spencer Newarth]

The overtime drought continues.

[Giannis Patelis]

Guys.

[Colin]

Yeah. I thought we'd agreed to just have an overtime game.

[Spencer Newarth]

Here's question 10. The topic is wildlife. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Josh Serp for sending this great question. Josh 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 [e-mail]. what is the most common state insect in America? What is the most common state insect in America? You need to be specific. If you thought the answer was a black lab, you need to say black lab. You can't just put Labrador. What is the most common state insect in America? Randall running away with the victory. See if he can hit the shelby index of 8.

[Colin]

I just decided on an insect.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay.

[Colin]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newarth]

You don't want to give it any more thought?

[Colin]

No, no. There's really no point. And I couldn't name a single state insect?

[Spencer Newarth]

Actually not any of the states you've ever lived. You don't know what their state insect was?

[Colin]

Nope, nope.

[Spencer Newarth]

What is the most. I didn't even know there was state insect in America. I think there's only two states that don't have a state insect.

[Colin]

I think the Gabby Petito question is more relevant to my engagement with the world of the great outdoors than state insects.

[Spencer Newarth]

Yeah, yeah, I agree. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Nate saying monarch butterfly. Tressa says mosquito. Kade, Dragonfly. Randall, Monarch butterfly. Butterfly. Colin, Red ladybug. Giannis, monarch butterfly. Brody, monarch butterfly. Nobody got it. The correct answer is the honeybee.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh.

[Spencer Newarth]

There are 19 states that list the European honeybee as their state insect or state agricultural insect. The second most popular state insect is the monarch butterfly and ladybug, which represents seven states, and the eastern tiger swallowtail, which represents six states.

[Colin]

You know, I take back what I said. The honeybee is Utah. Right.

[Spencer Newarth]

Probably One of the 19 states is my guess.

[Colin]

Yeah, I do know a state insect.

[Spencer Newarth]

All right, Randall is the winner with seven correct answers. Even if we throw out that bad Gabby Petito question, you still dominated these boys. Where is the $500 going to go today, Randall?

[Colin]

Give it to the National Wild Turkey Federation, nwtf.

[Spencer Newarth]

Are you fixing to kill a turkey this year?

[Colin]

My first.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay, yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

You have plans?

[Colin]

No, but I'm just throwing that out there into the universe. I'm seeding that now.

[Phil]

It's not going to happen.

[Colin]

Yeah. So I thought I'd, you know, try to get some karma from the turkey gods.

[Spencer Newarth]

You've probably never donated to them before, I'm guessing either.

[Colin]

Well, I have on certain occasions when it's like one of the, you know. But yeah, let's just do that.

[Spencer Newarth]

$500.

[Colin]

Everybody around here is getting excited for turkey season. Let's just get.

[Spencer Newarth]

Including Randall.

[Colin]

Yeah, let's get it hyped.

[Spencer Newarth]

Okay. Well done, Randall. Seven correct answers to win the first regular season game of Meat eater trivia in 2025. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. 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.

[Nate]

Oh.

[Steve Rinella]

I'm telling you, man, there's nothing quite like. It gives me chubby just thinking about it. You hit the call way off in the distance. A tom fires back. You work him in Watching his body language shift from cautious to committed. Then that moment, the one every turkey hunter dreams about all winter. That gobbler locks eyes on your decoy and comes running in. And if you're using the right decoy, you don't need to then settle for a 40 yard nervous shot. Because with the right decoy, you can get that bird in your lap. Putting on a wild, aggressive turkey show. I mean, I'm talking where he's fighting the decoy. I've had him sitting there trying to mate with the decoy. It's the best thing in the world. But to pull it off, you need realism like you need decoys that don't just fool turkeys at a distance.
