It's a media podcast. 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 a room full of jabronis. We've got Alyssa, Cade, Corey, Marge, Nate and Jake Wallace. And Sarah. Jake, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.

[C]

Yeah, I'm the wholesale and retail marketing manager for Meat Eater Flight and FHF and DSD when they need help. So I help out a lot of our dealers, so Shields and some of the mom and pops. But a big part of my job right now is rolling up the new store in Edina, our Minneapolis location. And I get the other locations dialed in for the meat eater store.

[A]

Very excited. That one's going to open in August.

[C]

Yep, August 15th.

[A]

Great state of Minnesota. What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to meat eater trivia? Hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking.

[C]

I think, I think hunting's. Hunting's good. Conservation, strong. Depending on where you steer the ship though, if you get too deep into fishing or somewhere else is going to be. It's going to be rough.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

You and Nate will get along.

[D]

Gary sees.

[A]

This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from meat eaters. Four verticals, which again are hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. There is a prize. Meat eater will donate 500 to the Conservation organization of the winner's choosing and mediator Trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, bush light. Bush light. Head for the mountains. All right, we have a mailbag question today. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, send your question to trivia atthe meat eater.com with the subject line mailbag. This is from Andrew Robinson. What's the most unique or gross wild game that you've eaten? What do we got?

[D]

I got one. I shot a gut shot a doe one time and found it the next morning. Super sad. But we skinned it out and when we were pulling the b. Like the skin off the back, that silver skin on the back strap just came right off and I touched it and my finger just went through the back strap. And so we tried to eat it. You can imagine it didn't taste very good.

[A]

What did it taste like? Just rotten meat?

[D]

Yeah, just like, I mean, imagine like licking the inside of your stomach.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

That's what it tasted like.

[E]

Flexible.

[A]

All right, I'll think about that. Other unique or gross wild game in the room. What do we got?

[F]

I got a long list of unique shit, so pardon my plate.

[A]

Marge is there for all the episodes.

[F]

So bobcat, coot, crow, coyote, skunk. Also had alligator here. I've had walrus and I've had seal.

[A]

That's a unique list. It's gonna be hard to beat, Marge.

[C]

I think alligator is definitely. It's a finicky one. I shot like a ten footer a couple years ago and we tried everything to make that thing taste good. And there's a reason why they fry it. Like. Yeah, you got to grind it, put it in Chili or give it a

[E]

little love for sure.

[A]

I've never been turned off by the taste of alligator, but the texture is always pretty. Pretty tough.

[C]

Yeah. And if you get away from the tail, like the front legs and the back legs, it's. It's grainy to say the least.

[A]

Anything else, Jake? Besides gator. That has been hard to swallow.

[C]

Try to eat starlings once.

[A]

Starlings?

[C]

Yeah. My father in law has a giant mulberry tree.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And so I'd go under there and shoot him with 22 and felt guilty for my pile and gave it a try. And it.

[D]

It. There's a reason.

[C]

There's a reason why there's a billion of those things rolling around.

[A]

Other, other answers in the room.

[E]

I got some Russian clients last year and they wanted to make like their traditional Russian, like fish head soup. Oh, and the lady, like the head lady, apparently she was like the bill dance of Russia. She was like pro fisherman.

[C]

Falls off her.

[A]

I love that.

[E]

No, no, no. Never fell out. But she's like, nope, I don't need any help. I don't need anything. She's raked up all her own stuff anyway. They make the soup by like boiling fish heads. Whole salmon carcasses in there. Just pick all the meat off. But she would eat the boiled heads after they've cooled off and they're just all freaking coagulated.

[A]

Oh, man.

[E]

If you can imagine the head of a buck's silver salmon just with a big kipe and it's all bulbous. Yeah. She just started the nose and work her way back and just cartilage, teeth, everything.

[A]

Did you take a bite?

[E]

I. I got suckered into it.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

She's like, everyone in Russia does it. And I was like, oh, well, you know, just being polite. Took a big old chomp and everyone started laughing. I was like, I just got suckered into that. Even the other guides were in on it.

[A]

It's no good. As Marge said, during the Pardon My Plate days, we ate a lot of unique things. The two worst, though, were the skunk and the goldfish. And you might be like, well, goldfish, it's not wild game. They're now found in 49 of 50 states. You know, they're more widespread than the white tailed deer. But skunking goldfish is known. No reason to try to eat one of those.

[F]

Skunk was so bad.

[A]

It was bad. Tasted like it, like it smelled. Yeah.

[F]

And it was so dark.

[A]

Yeah. So if you got a nose, you don't need to try skunk. Any other answers for Andrew before We move on. I ate some hot carl. Not Carl, it's putrefied shark in Iceland. Oh, yeah, Gross.

[E]

Yep.

[D]

Fermented microphone.

[G]

Alyssa, please.

[F]

Oh, sorry, I forgot we had a podcast guest in the old office. We had the whale. I forgot about that. That's where the walrus was.

[A]

What was your review of the fermented whale?

[F]

Was not my favorite. Okay, yeah, it was a little hard to. To get down, but beaver, I don't know how unique that is, but beaver

[A]

in this office, it's not unique, but, you know, globally, there's not a lot of folks eating that, so that one works. All right, for housekeeping today, we've had a few listeners tell us that their podcasts are cutting out partway through Meat Eater shows. Phil is here to help. Phil, what do you got?

[G]

I hope I'm here to help. So you may have heard that podcasts are TV shows now. And in the spirit of that, Apple has a video feature on their app, and we started putting our mediator shows on Apple podcasts as video. But the thing that happens when we do that is that the file sizes are 20 times larger than the MP3s that we used to do. If you're on Spotify or a different platform, you're probably not running into this issue because you're still only downloading the audio file. But if you are on Apple podcasts and either have bad cell service or not enough room on your phone, or the show is skipping around, there is a really annoying solution that will remain annoying until some iOS update in the future. You can download audio only on Apple Podcasts, but you can only do it if automatic downloads are turned on. I'm a manual downloader, and I bet a lot of you are as well. But if to reduce the file size, the only way to change that is to go to the show settings. So if you go to the Meat Eater podcast like podcast page in your podcast app, you go to the upper right hand corner, there's an ellipses there, three dots. You click on that, go to show settings, scroll down to Automatic downloads, and you can turn that on. And there's some. You can turn it on. Like to only download the most recent episode or the most recent five, or whatever, however you want to do it. And then right below that, it'll say download audio only. Or it'll say download video, and that's set to off. I don't know why it only works with automatic downloads on Apple podcasts. That seems like an insane oversight. Send your complaints to imcook, but until there's a future iOS update. The only way to download audio only and reduce those file sizes is to turn on automatic downloads and set download video to off. And if that changes in the future, we'll update you here, I guess.

[A]

Okay. Phil to the rescue. Thank you, Phil. The Shelby index for today is a 5, so putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

[E]

Look.

[G]

Signs really brightening up the room. Wow.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

Just tend to win everything.

[A]

Question 1. The topic is cooking. This first great question is via Brian Porser. Which of these is not considered one of the big six foodborne illnesses? Is it botulism, salmonella, E. Coli, or norovirus? This is from the usda. They have compiled what they call the big six foodborne illnesses. So three of these are part of the big six. One of them is not. Is it botulism, salmonella, E. Coli, or norovirus?

[C]

Way to stick with some current events.

[A]

Yes.

[G]

And just I want to add one more thing onto the last. Sorry to change topics here, Spencer, but just to add one more thing, I'm sure a lot of people are like, well, why are you doing this if there's so many tech issues and it's not working? And just to be transparent, company man here, it's honestly, it's been good for our shows. So a lot we have new audiences that are fighting the shows because Apple is pushing their video stuff more. So, you know, I don't know if you've heard, it's hard to run a media company in the year 2026.

[H]

And.

[D]

And we.

[A]

We gotta do what we gotta do. And as a consumer, I like having the video feed in the podcast.

[G]

It's a fun option.

[A]

We're gonna get it figured out again. Which of these is not considered one of the big six foodborne illnesses? Botulism, salmonella, E. Coli, norovirus. Is everybody ready?

[D]

Let's do it.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey and Alyssa and Steve, Sarah and Cade. Say norovirus. Marge says. What's it say, Marge?

[F]

Norovirus.

[A]

Norovirus. Nate. Norovirus. Jake. Norovirus. The whole room got it wrong. The correct answer is botulism.

[C]

I was literally like, how much of a problem is.

[D]

Dude, that's a classic jabroni move right there.

[A]

According to the usda, the big six foodborne illnesses are salmonella, typhoid, shigella, E. Coli, norovirus, and Hepatitis a. Only about 150Americans get botulism each year, with a quarter of those being from contaminated food. The most common way to get botulism is from food. From food is by eating canned goods that were improperly preserved.

[D]

But don't you die if you get botulism.

[A]

I think it's a serious thing to get, so I had it in there, but it's just not common. Again, only 150 people get it and only about a quarter of those are from food.

[D]

So it's like a. It's an occurrence thing, not a, like, serious thing.

[A]

I think it's in our universe a lot more because we just work a lot with preserving meat. And it's most common when you're trying to preserve meat because it doesn't have acid. So you need to use a pressure canner. That's why everyone thought that had to be one of the big six. Question two. The topic is hunting.

[D]

Salmonella's fake.

[A]

This term is defined as, quote, a psychological and neurological condition in archery where anxiety over hitting the bullseye causes a breakdown in the shot process.

[D]

Dude, I got it bad.

[A]

Okay, we'll hear more from Nate about that after the answer is revealed. Maybe that's how you fix it.

[C]

Shot that dough, huh?

[D]

Yeah, no, there's a different reason I got shot.

[A]

This term is defined as a psychological and neurological condition in archery where anxiety over hitting the bullseye causes a breakdown in the shot process.

[D]

Is it. Are you doing. Are you throwing us easy jabroni questions?

[A]

I. I tried to get the shelby index to a 5 and we achieved that so that our jabronis can have a fun, high scoring game.

[C]

Dude, that botulism one. My wife will not eat canned deer meat because of that.

[A]

That's something. Oh, yeah, but you tell her that stat. Only 150 people and a quarter of those are from food.

[C]

She will think that she will undoubtedly be one of the 150 people.

[A]

Again, we're on question two. The topic is hunting. This term is defined as a psychological and neurological condition in archery where anxiety over hitting the bullseye causes a breakdown in the shot process. Is everybody ready?

[H]

Sure.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says buck fever. Alyssa says trigger finger. Sarah. Target paralysis. Cade. Target panic. Marge. Buck fever. Nate. Target panic. Jake. Target panic. The correct answer is target panic. I think we had three of our jabronis. Get that one right. Target panic can cause flinching, freezing, or misfiring. It's estimated that 90% of Archers have experienced it at some point. For tips on dealing with this issue, go read Mark Kenyon's article on the Meater.com called How to Fix Target Panic in Three Steps.

[E]

I shot 4H Archery growing up and my instructor. So we shot the Vegas three spot targets. And if we would. If we flinched at all when we were shooting our bow hunter with the mechanical releases, he would hit us in the back of the thighs.

[A]

Oh.

[E]

With an arrow.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

Did that fix?

[D]

Like a Catholic nun.

[E]

Really?

[A]

Nate, what does target panic look like for you?

[D]

Oh, just absolute sadness.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Terrible shooting.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

The most common way I would experience is just like, you kind of don't even know what's gonna happen, but, like, you just, like, flinch. Like. Or Cade was describing, and they're like, what's going on? My brain wasn't communicating with my body. It's a weird sensation.

[D]

Yeah. I need you to come by my house and whip me in the mornings.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

He's. Aluminum arrows, too. Not the carbon ones.

[A]

Damn.

[C]

That's a old school learning.

[A]

Question 3. The topic is outdoors. This next great question is via Nolan. PLO check. What month does daylight savings time end?

[D]

Oh, very topical.

[H]

Very, very.

[A]

What month does daylight savings time end? This is not a trick question. The answer is. It's like, no month is when it ends. It's one of our 12 months. What month does daylight savings time end?

[D]

I'm from Arizona.

[A]

Is anybody confident in this one? Corey? Yeah, I finally got one right. Okay.

[D]

I. I've. I'm struggling when it starts, and.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm. Yeah, I know. What month does daylight savings time end? Alyssa, do you have this one right?

[F]

I don't know. I'm struggling. I know that. I think I know the two months,

[A]

but the room is waffling. Does anybody know they have this one? No. A lot of maybes in the room. What month does daylight savings time end?

[D]

I can't remember when it starts or. I mean, I don't know which one is which.

[H]

Yeah, that's kind of.

[D]

And I'm confused on the months.

[C]

And your phone just switches for you. What do you got to worry about anymore?

[D]

Dude, I'm just trying to think.

[C]

Might not be a problem.

[A]

Microwave.

[D]

Yeah. When I'm deer hunting and, like, it's cool and you can get after work, and then it's not.

[C]

That's how I'm relating it to.

[D]

Is that the thing I can't remember.

[A]

Is everybody ready?

[D]

Lots of hints today.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says November. Alyssa. October. Sarah. April. Cade. March. Mar. December. Nate. September. Jake. November. There is a correct answer in the room. It's November. I think we had Corey and Jake get that one right. And Kate if he wouldn't have crossed it out.

[C]

Cuz I keep thinking like you can.

[A]

Daylight Savings time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. This year those dates fall on March 8 and November 1. Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection act, which would make Daylight Savings time permanent. Next it will head to the Senate and then to President Trump. Trump has signaled that he will sign the bill if it makes it to his desk, calling the act a quote, very nice win for the Republican Party. And as Nate talked about, it affects your deer hunting in fall. There was one thing I cared about in college as far as like getting me to write an email to a politician and it was to get them to end daylight savings or, or keep it so that you know, the sun was rising later because the bars stay open the same amount. So when the bar is open till 2am I'm going to be there till 2am but now I have to get up an hour earlier when the clocks change. That got me to write some emails and here we are like 13 years later. Maybe it's going to pay off.

[H]

I read something where they tried it in a couple states, like northern states, and they ended up rolling it back because like kids walking to school, there were like incidents with cars and kids were having to like use flashlights to get to school in the morning.

[A]

If you've seen some of the maps, we're going to be like in the most affected area. We're going to have sunrises after 9am for a period. Not a lot of the country will experience that, but we'll be in like this small minority of people.

[F]

Arizona never has adopted daylight Arizona.

[A]

I think the Navajo Nation does. It can get very confusing over there. But yeah, I think Arizona doesn't participate at all. Question for the topic is woodsmanship. This 10 letter word is defined as, quote, a trail with a sharp zigzagging route used to safely ascend from or descend steep hills. The room has their mojo back. This 10 letter word is defined as a trail with a sharp zigzagging route used to safely ascend or descend steep hills.

[H]

When you're hiking up in like northern New England, none of the trails have these.

[D]

They just go up.

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

So you're looking at like just a shortcut.

[F]

You know, I would rather just go straight up. It just pisses me off. I'm like, let's just get it over with.

[H]

Like all the at in Maine is all just like not a, not one of them inside.

[F]

Let's get her Done.

[A]

Marge is someone who takes a shortcut, then they have to put the sign up later saying, don't take the shortcut. Yeah, gotta stay on this thing. 10 letter word is defined as a trail with a sharp zigzagging route used to safely ascend or descend steep hills.

[E]

So you're saying that this is more of a western theme?

[H]

I have encountered them more in the west than I ever did out east.

[A]

Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey switchback. Alyssa. Switchback. The whole room says switchback. The whole room got it right.

[H]

Nice, guys.

[A]

The correct answer is switchback. Switchbacks are designed to make trails more gradual when in a steep area. Ancient humans use them too. Popular hiking trails in Canyonlands national park and the Columbia River Gorge that feature dozens of switchbacks follow historical travel routes that Native Americans used first. Question 5. The topic is fishing. This next great question is via Clayton Hines. This man who has hosted an ABC Talk show since 2003 owns a luxury fly fishing lodge in Idaho. Great. The room is stumped. This man I know who has hosted an ABC Talk show since 2003, owns a luxury fly fishing lodge in Idaho. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this.

[F]

Spencer. I was at a wedding recently, and, you know, it was later in the night, people had some drinks and this guy walked up to me. I think he finally, like, had the courage to come talk to me because he recognized me from meat Eater. And he goes, you're really bad at trivia.

[A]

Oh, no. Did you tell him, like, oh, I had no idea at first.

[F]

I was like, man, I just, like, I was in Moab, Utah, just wasn't, like, thinking about. And I was like, what is he talking about? And then I was like, oh, yes, I am correct.

[A]

What a kind person.

[F]

So I appreciate being included in the gibronis. I think you would too.

[A]

This man who has hosted an ABC Talk show since 2003, owns a luxury fishing lodge in Idaho. I think Nate is the only person who likes his answer.

[D]

I like it.

[A]

You have this one, right?

[C]

I have an ABC talk show host that I almost took fishing once.

[A]

Oh, okay. Well, there's. Dude, he canceled on me. He canceled on you.

[C]

So if he owns a fishing lodge, wow.

[A]

Better treat his guide. Okay. What a revelation from Corey's past life as a fly fishing guide.

[D]

Was it a past life?

[A]

Still living in it, brother.

[H]

Yeah, that's more my problem. What's a talk show? Is it like news, like Good Morning America or like, okay, that kind of thing?

[A]

This man, who has hosted an ABC Talk show since 2003, owns a luxury fly fishing lodge in Idaho.

[F]

2003 is a long Jerry Springer, Maury. He's been around, like, since the 90s. I know, I know.

[A]

Is everybody ready?

[D]

Also, would you consider that a talk show?

[H]

No.

[F]

Hey, the audience talks.

[A]

I think we're waiting on Sarah and Alyssa.

[C]

My answer is making me laugh, so

[A]

that's probably not a good sign. Sarah, do you give up?

[H]

I'm gonna take what I have and

[E]

I'm gonna write it.

[D]

The fly fishing extraordinaire over there.

[H]

I'm not in the luxury fly fishing lodge.

[C]

Tax branch would have preferred a different network.

[D]

This would have been better.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says Jimmy Kimmel, Alyssa, Tucker Carlson, Sarah, Al Roker, Cade, Matt Lauer, Marge, Jimmy Kimmel, Nate, Tom Brokaw, Jake, Brian Gumbel. The correct answer is Jimmy Kimmel. And March got that one right.

[H]

I didn't notice.

[A]

Kimmel bought the South Fork Lodge near Swan Valley, Idaho in 2020 for an estimated $8 million. Their website brags of, quote, top notch service, unmatched amenities, and unexpectedly, fine dining. Kimmel is an avid fly anger FL fi angler and a board member of the conservation group American Rivers. Here is a picture that he posted on Facebook in 2018. He said he caught that cutthroat 30 miles deep in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. That could have been with you, Corey. That could have been you holding that camera.

[E]

Dink. Dink.

[A]

Phil. Halfway through the game of trivia scoreboard update.

[F]

Rats.

[G]

Pretty good game we got going on Sarah and Alyssa holding it down with one point. Cade, Maggie and Nate all have two points apiece. Tied up in first place are Corey and newbie Jake.

[C]

The botulism thing's gonna haunt me. Oh, terribly.

[A]

Nobody calls a target panic.

[B]

Question 6. The topic is conservation. The conservation group dedicated to this 843 acre park calls it, quote, one of the most iconic green spaces in the world, featuring a zoo, museum and carousel. Marge and Nate and Cade all at their whiteboards. The conservation group dedicated to this 843 acre park calls it one of the most iconic green spaces in the world, featuring a zoo, museum and carousel.

[F]

Are we naming the park or the park?

[A]

Name the park, not the conservation group.

[F]

That's what I was kind of like.

[A]

Marge, did that fan at that wedding tell you that he liked your drawings?

[F]

So, you know.

[A]

No, he must not be watching the show. Just a listener. Otherwise he would know the beautiful artwork you come up with. Enchanting.

[C]

It's a great opener. Hi, nice to meet you. You're terrible.

[F]

No, there was no, hi, nice to meet you.

[G]

It's just.

[F]

You're terrible.

[D]

Straight from the throat.

[A]

The conservation group dedicated to this 843 acre park calls it one of the most iconic green spaces in the world, featuring a zoo, museum and carousel.

[G]

Got high hopes for a tiebreaker today.

[A]

Spencer, we have been on a long drought here at Meat eater trivia for tiebreakers, but today could be the day. K, do you have this one right?

[E]

Oh, I'm pretty confident.

[A]

Have you been to this place? I have been to this place. Okay. Nate, do you like your answer?

[D]

I do.

[A]

Have you been to this place? Marge, do you like your answer?

[F]

I like my answer.

[A]

Have you been to this 843 acre park? No. Okay. There's some helping out the rest of the room if you know the travels of Cade, Nate and Marge. Is everybody ready? Gonna wait for Sarah. Put that marker down and we'll flip over the whiteboards. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says Jurassic Park.

[D]

Lincoln Park.

[A]

Central Park.

[H]

No, that Lincoln park is a park. Park.

[C]

Chicago.

[A]

Cade. Central Park. Marge. Central Park. Nate. Central Park. Jake. Central Park. The correct answer is Central Park.

[D]

That was a dark.

[F]

People are surprised.

[A]

More than 4,000 species of plants and animals call Central park home, including a new type of centipede that was discovered there in 2003. The park allows catch and release fishing with rods that you can rent for free. Free at the Discovery Center. The only fish you're not supposed to release is the northern snakehead, which was first detected there in 2013. Question 7. The topic is wildlife. Ricky Tikki Tavi is this type of animal which also happens to be a bicycle brand.

[D]

Wait, Ricky Tikki Tavi happens to be

[A]

Tavi is this type of animal. So that this type of animal also happens to be a bicycle brand. Kade, what were you doing in Central Park?

[E]

Just taking in the grand sights of New York City.

[A]

Just visiting. Being a well rounded person.

[H]

That's right.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

I went to that toy store from the movie Big piano.

[A]

Oh, wow. Rikki Tikki Tavi is this type of animal which also happens to be a bicycle brand. Does anybody know who Ricky Tikki Tavi is? Oh, yes. Okay.

[H]

I think so.

[A]

Sarah, do you have this one right? Marge, do you have this one right?

[D]

I got it.

[F]

Kind of confident.

[A]

Okay, Nate now has got it.

[F]

I think.

[A]

Nate, you know who Ricky Ticky Tavi is?

[D]

No idea, but I pulled out a bicycle brand that is an animal.

[A]

Okay, nice. I think I know now.

[F]

I'm like, is this a bicycle brand?

[A]

Marge, are you using the clue about the bike brand or Ricky Tikki Tavi?

[F]

The bike brand. Okay, I know Ricky Tikki Tabby. I just can't picture it.

[H]

Is that like a children's book nursery?

[A]

Not gonna tell you right now.

[F]

I think it's a cartoon.

[A]

Is this type of animal which also happens to be a bicycle brand.

[F]

God, I'm doubting myself.

[A]

My flavor text doesn't have anything about Ricky Tikki Tavi, but I knew that Phil could tell us all about Ricky

[G]

Tiki Tab a tiny bit.

[A]

Okay, is everybody ready?

[D]

Does it have something to do with Halo?

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says mongoose. Alyssa without an answer. Sarah and Cade and Marge and Nate and Jake say mongoose. They got it. The correct answer is mongoose monkeys. Phil, please tell us about Ricky Tikki Tabby.

[G]

Oh, I don't know a lot about him, but he's. I mean, I think the character's like 100 years old. But it's a mongoose that was created by the same guy who wrote the jungle Book. And it's like a. From a collection of short stories. But I couldn't tell you anything about the stories or about Ricky Tiki Tabby.

[A]

There are about 30 species of mongoose that are found across Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are most famous for their audacious attacks on cobras, which they eat. Mongooses are not entirely immune to snake venom, but they are highly resistant to it. Question 8. What do you got?

[D]

Modified all terrain vehicles in the Halo series.

[A]

Okay, Bill, you certainly knew that one.

[G]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[G]

Your ghost, your banshee mongai question.

[A]

The topic is hunting. This next great question is our listener question of the week, which was won by Truman Danielson. For sending this great question, Truman is going to get a 151st light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia at the meat eater.com According to Hunter Ed.com the five basic parts of a shotgun shell are the case pellets, blank gunpowder, and primer.

[D]

Throwing a bone to shotgun guy over there.

[C]

Well, Sarah's not too shabby over there.

[D]

She was done, but she also wasn't a professional shotgun shooter.

[A]

According to huntered.com the five basic parts of a shotgun shell are the case pellet, blank gunpowder, and primer.

[D]

Truman Danielson sounds like a rich guy already. You shouldn't send him the gift card.

[H]

He sounds like someone that knows a

[A]

whole lot about shotgun. Shel. Kind of an old model, One of those fancy ones. Yeah, and then he's sending us something that's, you know, like skeet adjacent also.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, you got a big fancy shotgun.

[A]

Okay. Truman.

[D]

I have.

[C]

I have two of them. Yeah, but they came through. Them through.

[E]

But that guy fishes not.

[G]

By all means. Jake, it's your first time, and I'm sorry I have to tell you this on camera, but you've got your cell phone right under the mic there and we're getting some interference. Sorry, they gotta stay on the table.

[A]

That was the first time it happens. It's just a warning. The second time you get fired.

[H]

So take away minus one point.

[C]

Well, Alyssa knows that I'm not fired three years ago.

[A]

According to huntered.com the five basic parts of a shotgun shell are the case pellets, blank gunpowder, and primer.

[G]

Nate, are you aware that in a week the remastered Halo campaign comes out? They. They remade the first Halo with all new graphics and modern stuff.

[D]

Dude, I had no idea.

[G]

Are we going to play a legendary run together?

[D]

I would love to. I have. I've been Battlefield. What was the most recent one? Six. What just came out.

[G]

Yes.

[D]

It got me so close to buying. I've impulse bought three video game systems in my life and I almost did it a fourth time.

[A]

I recently got served a video of the Halo like sound effects guys making those sound effects back in the day. And the, the Warthog was just like the one guy's Honda Civic that had a bad muffler on it. And they're like, yeah, that sounds kind of like, you know, a badass vehicle from another planet running Riot. Does everybody have an answer for the five basic parts of a shockwave show? Case pellets, blank. Gunpowder, primer. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says wad. Alyssa Steel. Sarah and Cade and Marge and Nate and Jake say why I was on the turkey episode.

[F]

I know.

[A]

The correct answer is wad. The wad separates the shot from the powder. The job of the wad is to create a gas seal to propel the shot down the barrel, protect the inside of the barrel from damage, and shape the shot pattern after leaving the muzzle. The vast majority of wads are made of plastic, but traditional materials include fiber, felt, paper, and cardboard.

[C]

It's the most important part.

[F]

Did our punt gun have a wad in it?

[A]

It did. Our modern one. Yes. Had a pretty traditional wad in it. But we had found out that, like the OG Shell that it came with, that wad was probably made of cardboard, which is a little terrifying because holding one of those things. Things is like a stick of dynamite in your hand.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

And that their cardboard is inside, like, doing a very important job.

[F]

I mean, the first time we fired that thing, I think we all, like, stood very far away, super terrified.

[A]

Then we got brave. All right, Phil, we got two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Oh, that looks like overtime.

[G]

Oh, we'll see.

[D]

Jake.

[G]

Jake's here. Alyssa with two. Sarah has three. Four way. Tie for, I guess, second. I don't. I don't. I. I messed it up all the time.

[A]

Right.

[G]

Corey, Cade, Maggie, and Nate all have five points, and then Jake is one point ahead with six.

[A]

Maybe Jake is not a Gigroni after all.

[C]

Put that on me, Spencer. Don't put that on me.

[A]

Question 9. The topic is fishing.

[D]

There it goes.

[A]

Who wrote Moby Dick?

[D]

Oh,

[F]

how is this.

[A]

Oh, fishing. Looks like Nate could tie him up here. Hey, yo, who wrote Moby Dick?

[D]

Not big reader.

[H]

It's just a last name.

[A]

Last name will work.

[C]

I just don't really down.

[A]

I respect the Jeopardy Rules. If you can come up with the last name,

[D]

it's on my shelf. It's the one I'm reading next.

[A]

I have. I have not read this book, but I looked at the audiobook, and it's like, 24 hours long. My goodness. Who wrote Moby Dick? Sarah, you got the last name of this person?

[H]

I think so, yeah.

[A]

Okay, I know this is terrible. Ty, going into question 10, bad language.

[F]

I just said,

[A]

Has anybody read this book? No, no, no.

[C]

Read a few chapters. It's terrible.

[H]

And then stopped.

[C]

Yeah, it's a long one.

[H]

Well, that Was enough of that.

[A]

Who wrote Moby Dick?

[F]

Honestly, that's how I felt about the Odyssey.

[D]

Fishing.

[A]

One of the most famous bushing books of all time.

[F]

Yeah. And the Iliad. I was like, none of that.

[H]

I think.

[A]

Is a Moby Dick a whale?

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

How are we fishing? I mean, they used to fish fishes for it.

[C]

They're not fish.

[E]

It's whaling.

[H]

I like it.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

The topic is whaling.

[C]

There you go. Talk about some fishing after this.

[D]

I'm just excited.

[F]

What type of whale

[D]

double points aren't.

[H]

Gonna.

[A]

Aren't gonna happen,

[G]

man.

[D]

I got a Halo reference and a Mean Girls reference in this episode.

[A]

Is everybody ready?

[C]

It's gonna be so upsetting.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Corey says Williams, Alyssa without an answer. Sarah says Melville, Cade, Dickens, Marge, Hemingway, Nate, Herman Melville, and Jake says Dickinson. The correct answer is Herman Melville.

[F]

Hey, yo.

[A]

Just had to read the roll arts, baby.

[F]

Old man in the Sea for you there.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick in 1851. The book took him 18 months to complete. He relied on his experience as a sailor and whaler, of which he spent three years doing. Melville said his literary influences were Shakespeare and the Bible and that Moby Dick's ending is based on the real life whale ship and Essex. Here's a correct answer review so far. One was botulism. 2. Target panic. 3. November. 4, switchback. 5. Jimmy Kimmel. 6. Central Park. 7, mongoose. 8, wad. 9. Herman Melville. Phil, scoreboard update.

[G]

All right, we clawed Nate, busted out the library card and tied it up. He's tied up with Jake. They both have six points. Behind them are Maggie, Cade and Corey with five.

[A]

Here is question 10. The topic is natural history.

[F]

Great.

[A]

This 10 letter word is defined as, quote, a hard fired clay, brownish red in color when unglazed, that is used for pottery and as a material for sculpture. Sarah, who is not in the running to win, first to come up with.

[D]

You could tie it, right?

[H]

Oh, I got her theory. If you guys.

[A]

Marge has it right?

[G]

No, Sarah's. Sarah can't tie it. The only people who can are Corey, Kate and Maggie.

[A]

This is natural history.

[H]

It is natural.

[A]

This 10 letter word is defined as a hard fired clay. You son of a. Brownish red in color when unglazed. That is used for pottery and as a material for sculpture.

[C]

Let's just flip them over now.

[A]

So.

[F]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

If Jake or Nate.

[D]

I've definitely. I've definitely heard this, right?

[H]

Yeah. No, my liberal arts education is really benefit.

[F]

Not in there.

[A]

Yeah, dude.

[D]

One time I made this really cool clay elephant. I'm like 10th grade pottery or 8th grade, whatever. And then I got a 340 Weatherby and I shot it. And my mom was livid. She was like, that's the only thing you ever made in school that I cared about.

[A]

Yeah, I mean that was, that was even better than being worthy of the fridge. She was putting that someplace.

[D]

It was in the china cabinet.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

That's what I. That's what I should have known.

[A]

I'm siding with your mom.

[D]

Yeah, the head could come off and everything.

[C]

I made one of those. But it didn't turn out the way you think it's going to turn out.

[A]

This 10 letter word is defined as.

[C]

You know what I mean.

[A]

A hard fired clay, brownish red in color and unglazed, that is used for pottery and as a material for sculpture. Phil, remind me who can tie?

[G]

Nate and Jake, Corey, Cade and Maggie all have five.

[A]

Okay. Corey, do you have this one right?

[H]

Yep.

[A]

Kate, do you have this one right?

[E]

Highly confident.

[A]

Marge, do you have this one right?

[E]

Okay.

[A]

No. We could have a five way tie.

[C]

This is so far off my radar.

[D]

No.

[A]

Okay. Jake and Nate are the least confident players in the room. Right?

[D]

Give me just, just, just a minute.

[F]

No.

[H]

We get a countdown.

[C]

Rushed up on my pottery.

[G]

Took ceramics too.

[C]

It's terrible.

[A]

Wow. Took ceramics. What an advantage. When they finish the Jeopardy. Theme song, we're gonna flip it.

[D]

Start over real quick. Start from the top.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answer. Corey and Alyssa and Sarah and K and Marge say terracotta and Jake without answers. The correct answer is terracotta.

[C]

Guys.

[A]

The earliest known use of a type of terracotta is from 26000 BC. A 4 inch sculpture from that era depicting a nude woman was discovered in the Czech Republic in 1924. It's believed that the figurine is a symbol of fertility and that it originally had four feathers attached to it. Here is a picture. I'll butcher the pronunciation. That is the Venus of Dolney Vista.

[H]

Nancy, how big is that?

[A]

4 inches and it's 28, 000 years old.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

All right, we are heading to overtime. Play the draft Bill.

[F]

Come on, Mark. Tiebreaker.

[A]

And this is maybe the biggest overtime in meat eater trivia history. We have everybody, I think, except for Sarah and Alyssa, but they're going to play along as well. Because if somebody gets it right on the nose, Meat eater is going to add an extra 100 donation to today's game. All right. The tie breaking topic is hunting. This is a numerical question. So whoever's closest will be the winner. How many days is the average gestation period for white tailed deer? Have you not done this question already? On episode one, we did an elk, but we have never done white tailed deer.

[C]

Okay, I thought so.

[A]

I was listening to like two or

[C]

three on that one.

[A]

240 episodes ago, we had an elk gestation period question. Today we are talking about white tailed deer. How many days is the average gestation period for white tailed deer?

[E]

You want a day's number.

[D]

Days.

[A]

That's right. Not hours, not months. Days. Five players in the running today to be the winner. Cade, representing the entire Meat Eater Store Boys crew. Marge, have you ever won Meat Eater Trivia?

[F]

No.

[A]

Have you ever been in overtime?

[F]

No. I did Ty Giannis one time.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

Second.

[A]

Which was pretty cool. Today could be a real victory. Nate, you've got a couple W's. Cory, you're actually the king Jabroni.

[F]

That's right.

[A]

Right now. And Jake, this is his first episode. How many days is the average gestation period for white tailed deer?

[D]

Can I use your marker?

[A]

Nate adds a blank whiteboard. He's been doing a lot of math over there.

[C]

See that selfless act right there?

[D]

Nobody cares.

[C]

It's so violent.

[A]

Marge, are you doing math or are you drawing?

[F]

I am doing math.

[A]

Okay. Corey, do you like your answer? Man, I don't know. Kate, are you close?

[E]

I feel pretty good.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

If I. If I get this, they're probably gonna. We're gonna shut the store down.

[A]

All right. Oh, shoot. Cory, doing some more writing now. Nate revisiting his answer. Is everybody ready?

[F]

No.

[A]

How many days is the average gestation period for white tailed deer?

[E]

Great question.

[A]

Everybody ready?

[H]

Sure.

[A]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Alyssa says 273. Sarah says 275. Our five players left. We have Corey saying 198. Cade, 215. Marge, 200. Alyssa, 213. Excuse me, Nate. 213. Jake, 185. One of you is two days off from the correct answer. The correct answer is 202 days. Marge. Got it. Only 48 hours from the correct answer. This data is from a study that observed 89 whitetail does. 202 days is roughly six and half months. That means if a doe is bred on November 10th, she'll give birth on May 31st. All right, Marge, as the winner, you get to choose. And we're going to say that's right on the nose because 202 to 200 does the same thing. Marge, what are you going to do with that $600 donation today, Sportsman's for the Boundary Waters. A lot of stuff going on up there. Do you know anybody in the area affected by the wildfires right now?

[F]

You know I need to check in with our old gear manager Carl because his family owns an outfitter, canoe outfitter up in Elite, so I'm not quite sure.

[A]

Well done Marge. First Victory 600 donation going to a good cause. Well done jabronis. Nice high level episode. Join us next week for more meat Eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

[D]

Thanks Spencer.

[F]

I can tell my friend's husband, yeah,

three year old bucks. And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
