Speaker 1 (00:07):
It's 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 Yanni Cal Randall, Marge Mackenzie,
Corey Anthony, and Matt Miller. Matt, this is your first
time on the show. Tell folks what you do here
at Meat Eater.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I am our director of Content Partnerships, So I get
to work with all the cool brands that help support
us and give us all kinds of fun stuff to
try out.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And he's in the field.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Work with all the cool people.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh yeah, Now you're your neighbors with Cal and Randall.
What's what's it like being office neighbors with those fellows.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's actually kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It was real quiet up there on the third floor,
but now I get to b s with Randall every
day and it's nice.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Cal.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I don't see as much, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The rand will give us a real report. Now, what's
it like to be neighbors with Matt?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Well, it is nice to have someone with a dependable
attendance record. I will say I'm still adjusting. I'm just adjusting.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Also neighbors and Makinzie.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, I'm just well, I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Because it's right next to the bathroom. That's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I try not to make eye contact on my way.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This is a ten round quiz show with questions from
meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate five hundred
dollars to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing and
for the start of the week. This week we're looking
at near perfect games. In one hundred and twenty three episodes,
we've had twenty eight times where someone has gotten nine
(01:49):
out of ten questions correct, which means that happens twenty
three percent of the time. A few times it's happened
in the same show, like when Brody and Randall tied
with nine points in episode five or seventy three, or
when Randall and cow tied with nine points in episode
five twenty four. Brody is responsible for eleven of those
near perfect games, followed by Randall with four and Steve
(02:12):
and Cal with two. Randal, would you rather win with
eight points or nine points? Is the nine?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Just like?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Bittersweeter, do you just want the dominance? Just the w
just the w, Yanni, It's happened to you once. Do
you remember the question you slipped up on where you
didn't get the perfect game? This isn't a rhetorical question.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh you don't.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Was it that recent one maybe where I messed up
on lead sugar maple?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh? You're right. It was about yeah the iron?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Was it iron in?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That costs Yanni his perfect game? Didn't know his periodic table?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:48):
What is.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
For iron? H?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Randall? That question was not for you? Oh sorry, Yanni
said he would not have gotten it though. Now here's
our Infrequently Asked Question segment. If you have a trivia
related question for our crew, send it to Trivia at
the mediater dot com with the subject line I FAQ.
Jen Ermstin wants to know who is John Schlessinger and
(03:15):
why do you always choose his questions? I'm jealous, Well,
John Schlessinger and Steve Corson, they are the goats of
sending in questions for Mediater Trivia. I'm actually a little
concerned about like their home life, because they send me
so many emails. But I'm very appreciative of their efforts.
I bet combined they've sent in like between one hundred
and two hundred questions. So a big shout out to
(03:37):
John and Steve. And to answer your question, Jen, I
choose their questions because they send in so many and
sometimes they're perfect for the show. That's John and Steve
send me a ton of questions. We pay them really
appreciate that. So Jen's takeaway is just send in more,
send in more questions, Jen, Eventually something will stick and
(03:57):
it's gonna make it on this show. That's right now.
We don't have any housekeeping to get to this week,
but I want to tell you about the project that
I teased at the end of the last episode when
I told you we have an exciting announcement. Starting next
week on our website, we will be releasing meat Eater
crossword puzzles. Yeah, there you go, clap it up, yondy,
(04:19):
thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's every Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Starting on August fourteenth, we will have a new crossword
puzzle on the medeater dot com. The topics are similar
to what you get in Meat Eater Trivia, with the
first three themes being outdoors, national parks, and hunting. Every
crossword puzzle has twenty clues and the site will track
your time and score. You don't need to create an
(04:43):
account or log into play, but by logging in you'll
have the ability to save your work so that you
can finish the puzzle later or on a different device. Now,
I want to give you a preview of what the
clues are like. I'm going to read you one of
the entries and maybe the room can solve it for
you and give you a freebie for that first puzzle.
Here it is. The crossword theme is outdoors. This is
(05:06):
number nine going down. It has eleven letters. Here's your clue,
flocks poppies, black eyed Susan's Tom Petty wildflowers. Wildflowers is
exactly right. Eleven letters. That is an example of the
kind of clues that you'll get in the media to
(05:26):
crossword game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Now, that's easier than you. Sent out a little little
sample both tests a month ago and I looked at
it for five minutes, couldn't figure out a single one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Just yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Lately, we've had a Yanni guest hosting episode. Randall is
going to be guest hosting next week, Shelby guest hosting episode.
That was so we can focus on this project for
a little bit. You're right, it was a little hard
to begin with the Yanni, and we're going to make
it a little easier, hopefully a little more fun. The
first one comes out next week, and as Randall just said,
that first answer is wildflowers. Flocks, poppies, and black eyed
(06:06):
Susans are all wildflowers. And Tom Petty released a triple
platinum album in nineteen ninety four called Wildflowers that had
an opening track of the same name. Again. Mediater Crosswords
will be available every Wednesday starting next week, and they
are free to play. You can get the first one
at the medeater dot com backslash games. If you like
(06:28):
this podcast, then you'll love this crossword.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Take that in New York Times.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's right, we're coming for them.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I used bartender to play, so it opened at eight am.
And the first thing you do is get the crowd
that does the crosswords, and it's a bunch of old
retired dudes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well crosswords. Did they play?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Uh New York Times, the you know, Missoulium. It was
in Missoula, the Gazette, all the Montana papers. But yeah,
those good crowd. I mean, hopefully we'll have a little
more of a stand up crowd here and we file around.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But those were honest the days of crosswords, it wasn't
so easy to google something if you had to cheat them.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
No, it was a dictionary.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Did you have one of those available?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And a dictionary at the bar.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The media dot Com next week for that first medieater crosswords.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Is there a check function on it? Like as you're going,
it'll like on New York Times, how there's that check function?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's right. We will when you log in to play
the game, or you don't have to log in, like
I said, but when you're on the website, we'll explain
a little bit. You can reveal a word if you're
absolutely stumped, you can reveal you can reveal a letter
if you need some help. That way you can check
your answers. Now all these things, there's an algorithm that
gives you a score at the end based on how
(07:43):
quick you did it, how accurate you wear and if
you have to use any of those cheats that will
take away from your points. That'll be explained on the
web page.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
So we're gonna do like a companion deal too, like
to do for the New York Times, like the hints
article or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Like this week's maybe on this here podcast you can
get some of these. I see what you said, like
when Randalls saw wild flowers, but the flocks poppies, black
eyed Susans and Tom Petty. Do you think you'd have
gotten that one, Yanni?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Right, Okay? What what? Which part of it gave it away?
The whole thing? Was there one specific part Tom Petty?
Tom Petty, you knew it was wild flowers.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You could have left out Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You still would have gotten it off the words. Well,
that was a you know, there was a little more help, Tom.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Maybe makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You're not, that's right, a little more fun. And maybe
if you're not so well versed in the outdoors you
have a chance then like a biology test.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Otherwise, do you think the average age of a crossword
player is?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I can google that right now. My guess is it's
in the early fifties.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Right, I'd say, with the advent of the New York
Times Mini Crossword, it's much much.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think you're right now it's apt And then I
think you're right Mackenzie. It's probably much younger than it
was decade ago.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
What are you gen zee? The commandment?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That stuff now the Shelby indexpert today is a three
and a half, so our winner should get seven correct answers.
And with that we're onto the game of trivia. Play
the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I
stand to win everything. Just tend to win everything, Gamon Suckers.
(09:43):
Question one. The topic is cooking, and this first great
question is via Stephen Riskowski, and as always, this will
be multiple choice. The U s d A recommends you
cook a turkey to this temperature, which is when salmonila dies.
Is it one hundred and thirty five degrees fahrenheit, one
(10:05):
hundred and fifty degrees, one hundred and sixty five degrees
or one hundred eighty degrees in four hour listeners around
the world who don't know fahrenheit, that's fifty seven degrees celsius,
sixty six degrees, seventy four degrees or eighty two degrees.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
That was a really nice touch, a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Lot of quick answers. Some folks did not even need
the choices. Here they are again, one hundred thirty five degrees,
one hundred and fifty degrees, one hundred and sixty five
degrees or one hundred eighty degrees. And we're looking for
what the USDA recommends you cook a turkey too, which
is when salmonila instantly dies. Do you follow this rule? Yanni?
(10:49):
Do you know the answer and do you follow this rule?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If the answer that I've written is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Then yes, Randall and Corey very quick to answer. You
boys know this one.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I look this up once a year.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, right a Thanksgiving or is it not? After spring
turkey season?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving? And yeah, if I actually get it up
to one sixty five, not so, it depends on how
the day is going.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Randy just answers one sixty five from Randall. Corey says
one sixty five, McKenzie one sixty five, Matt one sixty five,
col one fifty, Anthony, Marge, and Yanni saying one sixty five.
The correct answer is one sixty five. Nearly the whole
(11:39):
room got that.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Salmonila is the top cosmic.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Ray for folks who can't walk.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know. Although the USDA and CDC strongly recommend cooking
a bird to one hundred and sixty five degrees fahrenheit,
there are alternative temperatures that are safe. For example, salmonella
will die at one hundred and fifty degrees after four minutes,
at one hundred and fifty five degrees after two minutes,
(12:08):
or at one hundred and sixty degrees after thirty seconds.
So you don't have to hit one sixty five to kill.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That disease, you do to kill that dinner.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's a good way to look at and for our
Canadian listeners, the correct answer with seventy four degrees celsius.
Question two, The topic is biology. This next great question
is via Kendon Martin. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this two word
term as quote any flesh eating animal that has no
natural predators or enemies. It's a two word term. The
(12:45):
topic is biology. We're looking for the definition for any
flesh eating animal that has no natural predators or enemies. Randall,
did you realize on that last one in your little
banter that you said the answer one hundred and sixty
five degrees.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
No, I didn't, Okay, you had no idea. Yeah, I
just let that slip. I guess that's tremendously embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Didn't didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The room was done writing again. We're on question two.
Encyclopedia Britannic. It defines this two word term as any
flesh eating animal that has no natural predators or enemies. Yanni,
you got this one, believe so Randa looks con.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I think that's called a Kelsey now revealing the answer
to the whole room.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Uh. That is a throwback to the Wives and Girlfriend's
episode the Yeah, there was a question about a definition
a two word term. M The answer was girl dinner.
And I think Kelsey had said in that episode she
goes the only thing I can think of that it
would be is girl dinner, which is there was a
good reasoning for that because that was the answer, Marge.
(13:57):
On that last question, question one about the turkey she
drew us a beautiful Thanksgiving turkey. Do you have a
little doodle for question two? No? Okay? Do you have
a good answer for question two? No okay? Again, looking
for any flesh eating animal that has no natural predators
or enemies, Your answer should be two words. Is everybody ready?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
We have Randall saying apex predator, Corey says Miso predator,
Mackenzie says mega carnivore, Matt apex predator, cal Apex predator,
Anthony apex, carnivore, mcken's excuse me, Marge without an answer,
Yanni saying apex predator. The correct answer is apex predator
(14:47):
or super predator. What do you guys think should we
give it to Anthony who had apex but had carnivore
instead of predator?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Crandall think about where it came from?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well, yeah, everyone knows.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
I mean, listen, that's that's not what the term is.
I'm going to be an asshole about it.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Okay, I don't think that's being an asshole film.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're going to be an asshole about in.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
It occurs to me now that everybody groaned when I
said that, because I'd revealed the answer. I thought everybody
was just reacting poorly to my joke that I sometimes
serve an undercrub turkey.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, try not to think about it for the rest
of the episode.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My theory is that's just the way Randall wanted to start.
It's just a mental slap to everybody's face. He's given
away answers.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Apex predators hold the top position of an ecosystem's food chain.
Some examples of apex predators are alligators, grizzlies, killer whales, ospreys, cheetahs,
and giant squids, but many ecologists argue that the ultimate
apex predator is humans. Question three the top is fishing.
(16:01):
Name three of the four states that the Arkansas River
flows through. Ooh, the Arkansas River flows through four states,
so you need to tell me three of them. This
is question three, Yanni, thinking hard, Yanni? How many states
(16:26):
do you have so far?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
One?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Okay, can I guess what you want?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Name three?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Not that one?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
The four states that the Arkansas River flows through. We
have Corey searching the room for a map, hoping that
some sort of art that has geography in and around
here could help him out. You find anything, Corey?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
That Nebraska map had more details, right.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, I'm staring at the Nebraska map.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's not helping.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Name three of the four states that the Arkansas River
flows through. Nobody has finished writing quite yet, except for Randall.
First one to put his marker and whiteboard down. Randall,
how many do you have?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Two flows through four states? You need to tell me
three of them. How are your hands helping you out there? Anthony?
Tell me about what you're doing doing little geography with
the states.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
And now I'm second guessing my.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Answer, Corey finishing up his answer. Corey, do you think
you have this one right?
Speaker 6 (17:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yanni, do you think you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
No?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Hmm good.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The room is leaking confidence. As I said earlier, Next week,
Randal is hosting Randal. How do you feel about the
episode you've created.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I'm very excited for it. I've got a little uh
surprise supplementary media.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Okay, I like that. Did you tell Phil yet?
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Okay, Phil thinks it's too long?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Okay, genuine hurt on doctor Randall's face for those just listening.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
His response was, I thought you would say that it was.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Too long, And then Phil said, I thought you would
say that Randall and he boys would be in a
real pretzel. Does everyone have an answer?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Randall saying Colorado, Kansas, Missouri. Cory says Missouri, Colorado, Kansas.
Mackenzie says Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee. Matt says Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama.
Cal says Colorado. He wrote down four states the question,
(19:11):
you got it? Write down three of the four, he says, Colorado,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas. Anthony says Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas. Marge
says Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma. Jannis says Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Phil.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I don't think anybody got it right.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That'll be a zero percenter no, But he got that
one right.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
The four states are Arkansas, which a few of you
just didn't bother to write down. Thought it was a
trick question, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. A lot of you
had three of the four, but not, excuse me, a
lot of you had two of the three. Now with
all three Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma. The Wilkinsaw River is
(20:01):
the sixth longest river in the United States and the
forty fifth longest river in the world. It starts in
the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and it ends at the
Mississippi River in Arkansas. The Colorado portion of the river
is famous for its trout and has been named one
of the best fly fishing destinations in America by Trout Unlimited.
(20:22):
Question four. The topic is hunting. This next Great Question
is via Matthew Alt.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN from nineteen ninety eight
to two.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Thousand and five. All Randall needed was this Miami Dolphin
Hall of Famer, and he was writing down his answer.
The topic is hunting. This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer
hosted a hunting and fishing show that aired on ESPN
from nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and five.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I know one person, and that's because of movie that
is not necessarily a movie.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But it is a great movie.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Oh, one of the best. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Youre real thinker Cal's confidence was confident? Yanni? Do you
have this one right?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Corey Calkins, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
I got a great guess.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN from nineteen ninety eight
to two thousand and five.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Did he play on that undefeated Miami Dolphins tea.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm not going to give you any hints, Yanni.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
They did the Super Bowl shuffle, Yannie, that was great.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
McKenzie just not going to pick up her whiteboard for
this one. I respect that stance. Don't even entertain the question.
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN nineteen ninety eight to
two thousand and five. Is everybody ready?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I don't think?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We have Randall saying Larry Zonka, Cory it says Dan Marino. Mackenzie,
that's out an answer. Matt and Cal and Anthony say
Dan Marino, Marge drew a football being kicked through some
offeras Jannis says Larry Zonka. The correct answer is Larry Zanka.
(22:24):
Jannis and Randall got that one right. And for spellcheck,
his last name is c. S n k A one
of you got right right see. Zaka was famously part
of the nineteen seventy two Perfect Season, where the Dolphins
went seventeen to oh and won the Super Bowl Yanni.
(22:45):
After retiring from football, he moved to Alaska and started
filming his outdoor adventures. Zanka has hosted multiple hunting and
fishing programs, including North to Alaska, Suzuki's Great Outdoors, and
Zanka Outdoor.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
What a crap players to have to play football?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Okay yea.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
He said it drove him to Alaska because he hated
the training cape. The training camp there in the summer
would just zap him, so all you could think about
was Alaska, and it kind of kind of inspired what became,
you know, his outdoor production empire.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
That tracks with me.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
I guided the nose tackle from that team to a
four point bowl?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Does he have a name?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Manny Fernandez?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Johnny guided him.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
In nineteen seventy two. You didn't have to be a
giant to play nose tackle. All of those look like
average dudes. Yeah, it could have been a plumber.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Question five. The topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener
question of the week, which was won by Tim Jasper
for sending this great question. Tim 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 Trivia at the meat eater
dot com. Merriam Webster defines this seven letter word as
(23:58):
quote a prime that grows vertically downward and gives off
small lateral roots. Merriam Webster defines this seven letter word
as a primary route that grows vertically downward and gives
off small lateral roots. Randall quick to answer, He's the
(24:21):
only one. No, come on, okay, March Oh Marge is
already on her doodle. You know this one March. Marge
has this one and now she's she's working on her
drawing for US. Yanna, you have this one, right, I
believe so a primary route that grows vertically downward and
gives off small lateral roots. Randall, did you ever watch
(24:43):
Zanka Outdoors? ESPN?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Loved it?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He uh, he famously. I think he ended that show
after he got he had to get rescued off the
coast of Alaska. Yeah, they like got caught in a storm,
drifted fifteen miles off course on a black tail hunt. Uh,
and then the show ended.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Yeah, he was saved.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He was saved by the coast guard. The crazy thing
about the coast guard when they had to come rescue him.
I think it was a ten hour flight to get there.
It's all just far away from everything what they were.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
It seems hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Again, we're on question five. Merriam Webster defines this seven
letter word as a primary route that grows vertically downward
and gives off small lateral roots. Yannie, Randall and Marge
are confident. I feel like you know it, Mackenzie. Mackenzie
feels like she knows it, and Yannie feels like Mackenzie
(25:37):
knows it as well.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
I got really excited when the first thing I wrote
on was primary and it had seven and then I
realized that it was already in the question.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, carnivore was on the carnivore question.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
As well as any flesh eating animal that has no
natural predators or enemies. Again, we're on question five. We
will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Sure is a fun part of the day. Well, oh,
it's great, love. The day doesn't really start until we
start playing.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Whirler.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
No, I'm a crossword man. I held my tongue earlier
when people were joking about how old you need to
do to play crosswords. In fact, Spencer sending me his
test crossword inspired me to renew my time subscription. Oh wow,
and then I knocked out a couple bad boys in
the first week, and I haven't really touched it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Since he's getting back into play in shape. Yeah, when
the crossword comes out, I think something we'll do is
we'll maybe tell you some crew member scores for that
week's crossword. Randall doesn't want to be embarrassed by his
pathetic score that he has, so he's been practicing. You
didn't have a pathetic score.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I'm just sorry. I smoked that crossword you sent to
me in like four minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And he smoked the hard crossword that I sent to him.
And I was going to make sure whatever score he
has to present to the meat eater audience is going
to be as good as it gets.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I don't mean to come across as a jerk or anything.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Is everybody ready brutal? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Randalls saying tamproot, Cordy says spiders, Mackenzie without
an answer. Matt says primary, col says primary. Anthony says
the root. Marge says tap root, and drew us a
beautiful little garden that has one of those carrots the
(27:38):
lions okay, and then a large perfect and Yanni says
tap root. He got it. The correct answer is tap root.
The tap root serves many functions like anchoring the plant,
absorbing water and nutrients, and storing proteins. In some cases,
the part of the plant that we eat is actually
(27:59):
the tap root. This is true for vegetables like carrots, radishes, turnips,
and beats.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Phil we're halfway through.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
All right, everyone's on the board. It's got cal Anthony, Corey,
and Mackenzie with one point. Matt and Maggie have two,
and hey, just like last week's game of trivia, it's
down to Randall and Giannis. Currently they're tied up at
with four points apiece.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Anybody's game.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't find you know the tap root one. I've
never heard that word in my life.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Never heard of it.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You know, sometimes you're really close to.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Getting in Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Never what about the band? M m no, I don't
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
The bad part is like every basic biology class in
the United States, hous a lesson off.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Of question six. The topic is cooking. Yeah, this state
produces sixty percent of America's seafood, and this is measured
in pounds. Question six, the topic is cooking. This state
(29:14):
produces sixty percent of America's seafood. Corey very quick to answer,
Mackenzie now joining him with an answer. Yanni, it's grinning
is He writes down an answer. This state produces sixty
(29:37):
percent of America's seafood.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
I feel like this is a tricky one.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I feel like it's a trick question.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
It's got to be right.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Randall, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I don't know. I still know Corey.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Do you have this one right? The quickest to answer?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I feel like it can't be any other state.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay, how about you? Yanni?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Good?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Guess that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Good. Yeah, he liked what Corey said. It seemed to
bring him a bit of confidence.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
I haven't read anything about you know, stats along the
lines of where most of the seafood comes from.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So get measured in pounds, this state produces sixty of
America's seafood. Is everybody ready? Mackenzie making a last second,
I was just crossing.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We have Randall saying Alaska, Cory Alaska, Mackenzie and Matt
and Cal saying Alaska.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Anthony says Maine, Marge says Maine.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yanni says Alaska could be Louisiana. The correct answer is Alaska,
room very well. In twenty twenty two, commercial anglers in
Alaska produced five billion pounds of seafood. That's followed by
Louisiana with nine hundred million pounds. Virginia with four hundred million,
(31:14):
and Mississippi and Oregon with two hundred million.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Steam drop off sixty.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Percent of your seafood comes from Alaska. Question seven. The
topic is fishing. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation created
this three word campaign as a way to increase participation
in fishing.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Didn't we have this question?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I not had this question, but we had a question
about a movement that became a group, which was leave
no trace. So there's a hint. The answer is not
leave no trace to this one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
That's helpful.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Question again is The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation created
this three word campaign as a way to increase participation
in fishing. Randall and Yanni both have an answer. Do
you boys have this one right?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I think so. If it were in any other context,
I probably wouldn't be second guessing myself. But given here
we are question seven, I'll tie up.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
No, I'm overthinking it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
You have this one right?
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Watch this.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
Gage Spencer's reaction to a quick peak at my glimpse.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Janni flashed me his answer to the question Recreational Boating
and Fishing voundation. I hated this three word campaign as
a way to increase participation in fishing.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
I wrote that down and then I erased it and
wrote my answer.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And they disagree.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Good for the game, good for the game, not gonna
be good for one of.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Us, good for this family.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well you never know.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Well I don't like that. It was my initial. Oh
I guess.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Is everybody ready.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've learned over the years. You gotta stick with your.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Should have three words for your answer.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
I'm a coward.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying,
take me fishing. Corey says, let's go fishing. Mackenzie, get
out there, met just go fish. Cow take a kid, Anthony,
take a cast, Marge, go fish Yannis, let's go fishing.
(33:41):
We have a correct answer in the room. It's take
me fishing.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Oh, Randall right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
When Congress passed the Sport Fishing and Boating Safety Act
in nineteen ninety eight, they required the Department of the
Interior to address fishing participation. Thus, the Recreational Boating and
Fishing Foundation was made, who then created the Take Me
Fishing program. Take Me Fishing helps new anglers, especially kids,
(34:10):
acquire the gear, licenses, and knowledge to start fishing. You
were all on the right track, but only Randall came
up with the correct answer.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Strong question.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
The topic is conservation. This endangered amphibian, which has become
a popular aquarium pet, is only native to lakes near
Mexico City. Oh, This endangered amphibian, which has become a
popular aquarium pet, is only native to lakes near Mexico City.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Can we have a verbal answer if we don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
How to.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Just write down your answers? Spelling has never mattered except
for one time in the history of media or trivia.
One question in the thirteen hundred questions I've ever answer asked,
you had to spell correctly. This one you do not.
This endangered amphibian, which has become a popular aquarium pet,
is only native to lakes near Mexico City.
Speaker 9 (35:13):
I'm on the same page as you, March. I think m.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Corey thinks he has it right. Mackenzie and Marge maybe
have it right. Randall. Do you have an answer written
down yet?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
I do not, which is surprising because I'm pretty into
exotic pets.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Surprising my kids are obsessed with. Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Okay, there's a hint. If you know Phil's family, you
can see one in town. Oh, okay, another hint from
March where at that's enough.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
There it's an aquarium store where I go for.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Gary the goldfish censer and said, did not eat on part.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Of my plate?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No way?
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Can you now house him? Yeah, he's.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I call it the viv And I also have to
go there to get crickets for my pet frog. So
this endangered and has become a popular aquarium pet is
only native to lakes near Mexico City. Phil, What have
(36:27):
you gotten this one? Right? If you didn't have the
answer in front of you?
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Yeah, ok, because there is another building in Bozeman where
you can see one of these that's not the visa.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
All right, provided any hints for this answer? Yanni now
has an answer, Randall, do you have an answer that's
a joke?
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Answer?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Okay, everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Randall saying pokemon. Corey says ax a lottle, Mackenzie
axe lottle, Matt, Hila, cal and Anthony without an answer.
Large says axe lottle, and she drew us an axe lottle.
(37:13):
Janni says leopard frog. The correct answer is axe lottle.
About half of the room. Got that one right?
Speaker 9 (37:21):
How do you spell it?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
A XO L O T L. Did anybody have that right?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I just missed close.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Yes, Cory was very close.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Axe lottle are a type of salamander that reached sexual
maturity without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of taking to land, adults
remain fully aquatic and gild. They are one of the
planet's most endangered animals, with recent surveys indicating that there
are fewer than one thousand left in the wild. However,
they are easy to breed and take care of in captivity,
(37:54):
which has made them popular in the pet trade.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Man, you gotta wonder, like if that species could go
back and do it again. M hm, would they further
evolve or are they like no long term survival? Says,
kids are gonna put us in tanks. We're gonna be everywhere.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Yeah, and they are.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And they're all white. Now, basically, any axe lot you
see an aquarium is lucistic or albino. We have there's
a series of lakes in Montana called the Axilata Lakes
which have a tiger salamander in them which does not
fully go through metamorphosis. But they're not a true ax
A lott they're high up in some alpine lakes. It's
(38:33):
just too cold. That determined that they never decided to
take that next step.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, they're like, we're not crawling on it.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard Updateeah.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Let's see.
Speaker 8 (38:47):
I usually do the math before this, but I wasn't
paying any attention. I think, Uh, let's see Randall and
Yannis are once again the only players. Oh no, because
we're on question eight, so anyone with three points can
catch up.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
So well, no, no, nope, it's do.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Randall's got six gas has five?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Just heard Phil doing the math. Phil, I think you
want to get an axe Lottle.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
Oh please please don't plant I mean, if my kids
had a rolling here again, I know you and you
will definitely plant that in their heads.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I think I will. Question nine. The topic is wildlife.
This state capitol is known for having North America's largest
urban bat population, which you can see at the Congress
Avenue Bridge.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
I swear to god, we've already had this one.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
We've never had this question, I promise.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I know you have a system for this, but it
was worded a different way.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Maybe Nope. I we've had questions about we had to
where you had to name a state capital where you
could fish in the Missouri River or Mississippi River, I
think it was. We've never had this question though.
Speaker 8 (39:53):
If you try to take on Spencer's spreadsheets, Colts, it's
a losing battle.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
This state capitol is known for having winning the largest
urban population, which you can see at the Congress Avenue Bridge. Randall,
do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I believe so.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Cordy, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (40:12):
I'm just making a guess of a state that I
think has a lot of bats.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Marge, you have this one right. Okay, Yanni, we need
you to get this one right to keep pace with Randall,
who's confident in his answer.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yeah, I'm failing at that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Okay. You need to write down a state capitol that
is known for having North America's largest urban bat population,
which you can see at Congress Avenue Bridge. Randall, have
you ever seen this place? Have you've been there?
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Saw TV?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Okay, that's helpful. No one else in the room looks
very confident. Again, your answer will be a state capitol.
Don't write down the state right down the state capitol.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
I else could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
So okay, yeah, maybe the TV was wrong.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Don't want to be No, I just don't want to
be over confident. I could be misremembering what I saw
on the Tell me.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
It's super easy, super you.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Have right, cat?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yes, okay, have you been there?
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Did you like see the thing? Or no?
Speaker 4 (41:14):
I feel like it's kind of like impossible to go
to this town and not hear about the.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
Cals having deja vu because he already told the story
in another game of trivia.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
It's everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Randall saying Austin. Corey says Albuquerque, Mackenzie Saint Paul
Matt Baltimore, Cal Austin, Massachusetts, Anthony Sacramento, March, Austin. She
(41:51):
drew us a bat, honest, Lexington, Wait.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
A minute, it's Boston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
The correct answer is this is Austin, Texas. We had
about half of the room get that one right. Roughly
one point five million bats call Austin home from March
to September. Each night, at sunset, they fly out of
They fly out from the Congress Avenue Bridge to hunt
for insects along the Colorado River. The Texas Parks and
(42:20):
Wildlife Department says the tourist attraction brings one hundred and
forty thousand people and ten million dollars to the city
each year.
Speaker 8 (42:28):
What type of bat?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
It's a Mexican Let's see here, I have it written down.
It's a Mexican long tailed bat or something like that.
They're very common in Texas. Now here's a correct answer.
Review so far. Question one was one hundred and sixty
five degrees two Apex Predator three Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma
(42:51):
four Larry Zanka five tap Route six Alaska, seven, take
Me Fishing eight Axiladel nine Austin, Texas. And I think
with that last question, Randall has wrapped up the victory.
But we'll finish the game anyway to see if he
can get the near perfect game. Question ten, the topic
(43:12):
is hunting. What is the most common shotgun shell length
at bass pro and shields? Do do you have seven
correct answers right now? Or eighty? Yes? Seven? Okay, you
won't get the near perfect game?
Speaker 5 (43:27):
Ruined it already?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Uh huh again. This is question ten. The topic is hunting.
What is the most common shotgun shell length at bass
pro and shields.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I've heard this would have been a good multiple choice
to see where people am.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
Now back to the Austin, Texas thing. I've heard Steve
bring it up, I think on Rogan's podcast before. Maybe
maybe that's what you were thinking of what I've never
never had it as a trivia question.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
I've never heard of that Austin than bat thing in
my life or tap root.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
It's like a major tourist attract I've.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
Never been to Austin.
Speaker 9 (44:09):
I've been to Austin like five times and have never Yeah,
I'm not sure what were you doing there?
Speaker 4 (44:15):
I was, I was uh huh yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Well next time barbecue right there.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
Are designed are like perfect for bats.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
So they changed they changed the architecture of that in
nineteen eighty and that was what attracted all the bats.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
We're learning something about Randall. Right, now you've got a
bat thing. Randall.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
I just if there was a way to build bridges
so that bats are attracted to them, I'd build them
the other way.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
But there there's such a uh it's a flying mammal,
which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
Yeah, I caught one in a pizza box one time.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
I got one on the trail the other day found
a little sucker lane.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
Oh yeah, keeps the insect population down. Think about that
one point five million bats flying around eating.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Plus they're like pollinators.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
I'm not I'm not discounting there.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
This is a pro bat podcast when podcast? Does everyone
have an answer for the most common shotgun shell length?
At bass pro and.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
Okay, has anybody noticed here in the Gallatin Valley like
a serious declineate bees? I don't think we've had any bees,
and like all our pepper plants, I don't think they
cross pollinated this year. I have heard about this bees issue.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Go on, I got stung yesterday, really at the house nod.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Was that your first time?
Speaker 5 (45:42):
Nice getting stung?
Speaker 1 (45:45):
I have got stung before life?
Speaker 6 (45:48):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
I've gotten stung by a wasp.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Did you grow up.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
In a bubble?
Speaker 1 (45:57):
It's everybody ready.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Go ahead and then reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
We have Randallson saying three inches, Corey three, Mackenzie three,
Matt two and three quarter, Cal two and three quarter,
Anthony two and a half, Marge two and three quarter,
Yanni two and three quarter. The correct answer is two
(46:22):
and three quarter. We had five of you. Get that
one right at shields, there are one hundred and forty
four shells offered in two and three quarter versus one
hundred and twenty three shells offered in three inch. For
bass Pro there are eighty four shells in two and
three quarter versus forty eight in three inch. After that,
(46:43):
the most common lengths at both stores are three and
a half inch, two and a half inch, and one
in three quarter.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
Oh Man, I totally misunderstood the question. I thought it
was like the most common shell sold, which I still
think has to be two and three quarter. But obviously
if the variety, it's.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Probably the same. I think I think you'd you'd come
to the same conclusion, mat or how you thought about that?
Randal is our winner with seven correct answers, Randall, where
is your five hundred dollars donation from me? Dedrew going
to go?
Speaker 5 (47:18):
I would like to make this donation to the Three
Rivers Land Trust in North Carolina's Piedmont and Sandhills area.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I notice you fumbling with your phone at about question seven,
which I assume was to well, look up what conservation group?
Speaker 5 (47:32):
Yeah? I received an email from their development associate Michael
Chipeda apologize if I've mispronounced your last name, and they
run a sports and access program that provides access to
four thousand acres of private lands for hunters in that area.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
He is also the first guy to donate fifty dollars
to Randall's Venmo account.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
I'm not on I got kicked off for selling guns.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Randal can easily be bought, and he's sending five hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
Where the Three Rivers Land Trust.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Three Rivers Land Trust. Now a reminder Meadeater Crosswords are
available August fourteenth, that's next week, with new puzzles dropping
every Wednesday. Go play the first one at the medeater
dot com backslash Games. Also next week, Randall is going
to be hosting so come right back here for more
meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
Speaker 5 (48:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
Spencer, Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
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.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
It is an avid amateur lockw
It's 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 Yanni Cal Randall, Marge Mackenzie,
Corey Anthony, and Matt Miller. Matt, this is your first
time on the show. Tell folks what you do here
at Meat Eater.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I am our director of Content Partnerships, So I get
to work with all the cool brands that help support
us and give us all kinds of fun stuff to
try out.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And he's in the field.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Work with all the cool people.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh yeah, Now you're your neighbors with Cal and Randall.
What's what's it like being office neighbors with those fellows.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's actually kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It was real quiet up there on the third floor,
but now I get to b s with Randall every
day and it's nice.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Cal.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I don't see as much, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The rand will give us a real report. Now, what's
it like to be neighbors with Matt?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Well, it is nice to have someone with a dependable
attendance record. I will say I'm still adjusting. I'm just adjusting.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Also neighbors and Makinzie.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, I'm just well, I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Because it's right next to the bathroom. That's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I try not to make eye contact on my way.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This is a ten round quiz show with questions from
meat Eater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.
There is a prize. Meat Eater will donate five hundred
dollars to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing and
for the start of the week. This week we're looking
at near perfect games. In one hundred and twenty three episodes,
we've had twenty eight times where someone has gotten nine
(01:49):
out of ten questions correct, which means that happens twenty
three percent of the time. A few times it's happened
in the same show, like when Brody and Randall tied
with nine points in episode five or seventy three, or
when Randall and cow tied with nine points in episode
five twenty four. Brody is responsible for eleven of those
near perfect games, followed by Randall with four and Steve
(02:12):
and Cal with two. Randal, would you rather win with
eight points or nine points? Is the nine?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Just like?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Bittersweeter, do you just want the dominance? Just the w
just the w, Yanni, It's happened to you once. Do
you remember the question you slipped up on where you
didn't get the perfect game? This isn't a rhetorical question.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh you don't.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Was it that recent one maybe where I messed up
on lead sugar maple?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh? You're right. It was about yeah the iron?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Was it iron in?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That costs Yanni his perfect game? Didn't know his periodic table?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:48):
What is.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
For iron? H?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Randall? That question was not for you? Oh sorry, Yanni
said he would not have gotten it though. Now here's
our Infrequently Asked Question segment. If you have a trivia
related question for our crew, send it to Trivia at
the mediater dot com with the subject line I FAQ.
Jen Ermstin wants to know who is John Schlessinger and
(03:15):
why do you always choose his questions? I'm jealous, Well,
John Schlessinger and Steve Corson, they are the goats of
sending in questions for Mediater Trivia. I'm actually a little
concerned about like their home life, because they send me
so many emails. But I'm very appreciative of their efforts.
I bet combined they've sent in like between one hundred
and two hundred questions. So a big shout out to
(03:37):
John and Steve. And to answer your question, Jen, I
choose their questions because they send in so many and
sometimes they're perfect for the show. That's John and Steve
send me a ton of questions. We pay them really
appreciate that. So Jen's takeaway is just send in more,
send in more questions, Jen, Eventually something will stick and
(03:57):
it's gonna make it on this show. That's right now.
We don't have any housekeeping to get to this week,
but I want to tell you about the project that
I teased at the end of the last episode when
I told you we have an exciting announcement. Starting next
week on our website, we will be releasing meat Eater
crossword puzzles. Yeah, there you go, clap it up, yondy,
(04:19):
thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's every Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Starting on August fourteenth, we will have a new crossword
puzzle on the medeater dot com. The topics are similar
to what you get in Meat Eater Trivia, with the
first three themes being outdoors, national parks, and hunting. Every
crossword puzzle has twenty clues and the site will track
your time and score. You don't need to create an
(04:43):
account or log into play, but by logging in you'll
have the ability to save your work so that you
can finish the puzzle later or on a different device. Now,
I want to give you a preview of what the
clues are like. I'm going to read you one of
the entries and maybe the room can solve it for
you and give you a freebie for that first puzzle.
Here it is. The crossword theme is outdoors. This is
(05:06):
number nine going down. It has eleven letters. Here's your clue,
flocks poppies, black eyed Susan's Tom Petty wildflowers. Wildflowers is
exactly right. Eleven letters. That is an example of the
kind of clues that you'll get in the media to
(05:26):
crossword game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Now, that's easier than you. Sent out a little little
sample both tests a month ago and I looked at
it for five minutes, couldn't figure out a single one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Just yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Lately, we've had a Yanni guest hosting episode. Randall is
going to be guest hosting next week, Shelby guest hosting episode.
That was so we can focus on this project for
a little bit. You're right, it was a little hard
to begin with the Yanni, and we're going to make
it a little easier, hopefully a little more fun. The
first one comes out next week, and as Randall just said,
that first answer is wildflowers. Flocks, poppies, and black eyed
(06:06):
Susans are all wildflowers. And Tom Petty released a triple
platinum album in nineteen ninety four called Wildflowers that had
an opening track of the same name. Again. Mediater Crosswords
will be available every Wednesday starting next week, and they
are free to play. You can get the first one
at the medeater dot com backslash games. If you like
(06:28):
this podcast, then you'll love this crossword.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Take that in New York Times.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's right, we're coming for them.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I used bartender to play, so it opened at eight am.
And the first thing you do is get the crowd
that does the crosswords, and it's a bunch of old
retired dudes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well crosswords. Did they play?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Uh New York Times, the you know, Missoulium. It was
in Missoula, the Gazette, all the Montana papers. But yeah,
those good crowd. I mean, hopefully we'll have a little
more of a stand up crowd here and we file around.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But those were honest the days of crosswords, it wasn't
so easy to google something if you had to cheat them.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
No, it was a dictionary.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Did you have one of those available?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And a dictionary at the bar.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The media dot Com next week for that first medieater crosswords.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Is there a check function on it? Like as you're going,
it'll like on New York Times, how there's that check function?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's right. We will when you log in to play
the game, or you don't have to log in, like
I said, but when you're on the website, we'll explain
a little bit. You can reveal a word if you're
absolutely stumped, you can reveal you can reveal a letter
if you need some help. That way you can check
your answers. Now all these things, there's an algorithm that
gives you a score at the end based on how
(07:43):
quick you did it, how accurate you wear and if
you have to use any of those cheats that will
take away from your points. That'll be explained on the
web page.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
So we're gonna do like a companion deal too, like
to do for the New York Times, like the hints
article or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Like this week's maybe on this here podcast you can
get some of these. I see what you said, like
when Randalls saw wild flowers, but the flocks poppies, black
eyed Susans and Tom Petty. Do you think you'd have
gotten that one, Yanni?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Right, Okay? What what? Which part of it gave it away?
The whole thing? Was there one specific part Tom Petty?
Tom Petty, you knew it was wild flowers.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You could have left out Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You still would have gotten it off the words. Well,
that was a you know, there was a little more help, Tom.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Maybe makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You're not, that's right, a little more fun. And maybe
if you're not so well versed in the outdoors you
have a chance then like a biology test.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Otherwise, do you think the average age of a crossword
player is?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I can google that right now. My guess is it's
in the early fifties.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Right, I'd say, with the advent of the New York
Times Mini Crossword, it's much much.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think you're right now it's apt And then I
think you're right Mackenzie. It's probably much younger than it
was decade ago.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
What are you gen zee? The commandment?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That stuff now the Shelby indexpert today is a three
and a half, so our winner should get seven correct answers.
And with that we're onto the game of trivia. Play
the drop, Phil, Look, I need to know what I
stand to win everything. Just tend to win everything, Gamon Suckers.
(09:43):
Question one. The topic is cooking, and this first great
question is via Stephen Riskowski, and as always, this will
be multiple choice. The U s d A recommends you
cook a turkey to this temperature, which is when salmonila dies.
Is it one hundred and thirty five degrees fahrenheit, one
(10:05):
hundred and fifty degrees, one hundred and sixty five degrees
or one hundred eighty degrees in four hour listeners around
the world who don't know fahrenheit, that's fifty seven degrees celsius,
sixty six degrees, seventy four degrees or eighty two degrees.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
That was a really nice touch, a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Lot of quick answers. Some folks did not even need
the choices. Here they are again, one hundred thirty five degrees,
one hundred and fifty degrees, one hundred and sixty five
degrees or one hundred eighty degrees. And we're looking for
what the USDA recommends you cook a turkey too, which
is when salmonila instantly dies. Do you follow this rule? Yanni?
(10:49):
Do you know the answer and do you follow this rule?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If the answer that I've written is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Then yes, Randall and Corey very quick to answer. You
boys know this one.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I look this up once a year.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, right a Thanksgiving or is it not? After spring
turkey season?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving? And yeah, if I actually get it up
to one sixty five, not so, it depends on how
the day is going.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Randy just answers one sixty five from Randall. Corey says
one sixty five, McKenzie one sixty five, Matt one sixty five,
col one fifty, Anthony, Marge, and Yanni saying one sixty five.
The correct answer is one sixty five. Nearly the whole
(11:39):
room got that.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Salmonila is the top cosmic.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Ray for folks who can't walk.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know. Although the USDA and CDC strongly recommend cooking
a bird to one hundred and sixty five degrees fahrenheit,
there are alternative temperatures that are safe. For example, salmonella
will die at one hundred and fifty degrees after four minutes,
at one hundred and fifty five degrees after two minutes,
(12:08):
or at one hundred and sixty degrees after thirty seconds.
So you don't have to hit one sixty five to kill.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That disease, you do to kill that dinner.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's a good way to look at and for our
Canadian listeners, the correct answer with seventy four degrees celsius.
Question two, The topic is biology. This next great question
is via Kendon Martin. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this two word
term as quote any flesh eating animal that has no
natural predators or enemies. It's a two word term. The
(12:45):
topic is biology. We're looking for the definition for any
flesh eating animal that has no natural predators or enemies. Randall,
did you realize on that last one in your little
banter that you said the answer one hundred and sixty
five degrees.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
No, I didn't, Okay, you had no idea. Yeah, I
just let that slip. I guess that's tremendously embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Didn't didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The room was done writing again. We're on question two.
Encyclopedia Britannic. It defines this two word term as any
flesh eating animal that has no natural predators or enemies. Yanni,
you got this one, believe so Randa looks con.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I think that's called a Kelsey now revealing the answer
to the whole room.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Uh. That is a throwback to the Wives and Girlfriend's
episode the Yeah, there was a question about a definition
a two word term. M The answer was girl dinner.
And I think Kelsey had said in that episode she
goes the only thing I can think of that it
would be is girl dinner, which is there was a
good reasoning for that because that was the answer, Marge.
(13:57):
On that last question, question one about the turkey she
drew us a beautiful Thanksgiving turkey. Do you have a
little doodle for question two? No? Okay? Do you have
a good answer for question two? No okay? Again, looking
for any flesh eating animal that has no natural predators
or enemies, Your answer should be two words. Is everybody ready?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
We have Randall saying apex predator, Corey says Miso predator,
Mackenzie says mega carnivore, Matt apex predator, cal Apex predator,
Anthony apex, carnivore, mcken's excuse me, Marge without an answer,
Yanni saying apex predator. The correct answer is apex predator
(14:47):
or super predator. What do you guys think should we
give it to Anthony who had apex but had carnivore
instead of predator?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Crandall think about where it came from?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well, yeah, everyone knows.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
I mean, listen, that's that's not what the term is.
I'm going to be an asshole about it.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Okay, I don't think that's being an asshole film.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're going to be an asshole about in.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
It occurs to me now that everybody groaned when I
said that, because I'd revealed the answer. I thought everybody
was just reacting poorly to my joke that I sometimes
serve an undercrub turkey.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, try not to think about it for the rest
of the episode.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My theory is that's just the way Randall wanted to start.
It's just a mental slap to everybody's face. He's given
away answers.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Apex predators hold the top position of an ecosystem's food chain.
Some examples of apex predators are alligators, grizzlies, killer whales, ospreys, cheetahs,
and giant squids, but many ecologists argue that the ultimate
apex predator is humans. Question three the top is fishing.
(16:01):
Name three of the four states that the Arkansas River
flows through. Ooh, the Arkansas River flows through four states,
so you need to tell me three of them. This
is question three, Yanni, thinking hard, Yanni? How many states
(16:26):
do you have so far?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
One?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Okay, can I guess what you want?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Name three?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Not that one?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
The four states that the Arkansas River flows through. We
have Corey searching the room for a map, hoping that
some sort of art that has geography in and around
here could help him out. You find anything, Corey?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
That Nebraska map had more details, right.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, I'm staring at the Nebraska map.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's not helping.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Name three of the four states that the Arkansas River
flows through. Nobody has finished writing quite yet, except for Randall.
First one to put his marker and whiteboard down. Randall,
how many do you have?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Two flows through four states? You need to tell me
three of them. How are your hands helping you out there? Anthony?
Tell me about what you're doing doing little geography with
the states.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
And now I'm second guessing my.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Answer, Corey finishing up his answer. Corey, do you think
you have this one right?
Speaker 6 (17:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yanni, do you think you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
No?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Hmm good.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The room is leaking confidence. As I said earlier, Next week,
Randal is hosting Randal. How do you feel about the
episode you've created.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I'm very excited for it. I've got a little uh
surprise supplementary media.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Okay, I like that. Did you tell Phil yet?
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Okay, Phil thinks it's too long?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Okay, genuine hurt on doctor Randall's face for those just listening.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
His response was, I thought you would say that it was.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Too long, And then Phil said, I thought you would
say that Randall and he boys would be in a
real pretzel. Does everyone have an answer?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Randall saying Colorado, Kansas, Missouri. Cory says Missouri, Colorado, Kansas.
Mackenzie says Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee. Matt says Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama.
Cal says Colorado. He wrote down four states the question,
(19:11):
you got it? Write down three of the four, he says, Colorado,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas. Anthony says Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas. Marge
says Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma. Jannis says Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Phil.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I don't think anybody got it right.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
That'll be a zero percenter no, But he got that
one right.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
The four states are Arkansas, which a few of you
just didn't bother to write down. Thought it was a
trick question, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. A lot of you
had three of the four, but not, excuse me, a
lot of you had two of the three. Now with
all three Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma. The Wilkinsaw River is
(20:01):
the sixth longest river in the United States and the
forty fifth longest river in the world. It starts in
the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and it ends at the
Mississippi River in Arkansas. The Colorado portion of the river
is famous for its trout and has been named one
of the best fly fishing destinations in America by Trout Unlimited.
(20:22):
Question four. The topic is hunting. This next Great Question
is via Matthew Alt.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN from nineteen ninety eight
to two.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Thousand and five. All Randall needed was this Miami Dolphin
Hall of Famer, and he was writing down his answer.
The topic is hunting. This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer
hosted a hunting and fishing show that aired on ESPN
from nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and five.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I know one person, and that's because of movie that
is not necessarily a movie.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But it is a great movie.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Oh, one of the best. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Youre real thinker Cal's confidence was confident? Yanni? Do you
have this one right?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Corey Calkins, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
I got a great guess.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN from nineteen ninety eight
to two thousand and five.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Did he play on that undefeated Miami Dolphins tea.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm not going to give you any hints, Yanni.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
They did the Super Bowl shuffle, Yannie, that was great.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
McKenzie just not going to pick up her whiteboard for
this one. I respect that stance. Don't even entertain the question.
This Miami Dolphin Hall of Famer hosted a hunting and
fishing show that aired on ESPN nineteen ninety eight to
two thousand and five. Is everybody ready?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I don't think?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We have Randall saying Larry Zonka, Cory it says Dan Marino. Mackenzie,
that's out an answer. Matt and Cal and Anthony say
Dan Marino, Marge drew a football being kicked through some
offeras Jannis says Larry Zonka. The correct answer is Larry Zanka.
(22:24):
Jannis and Randall got that one right. And for spellcheck,
his last name is c. S n k A one
of you got right right see. Zaka was famously part
of the nineteen seventy two Perfect Season, where the Dolphins
went seventeen to oh and won the Super Bowl Yanni.
(22:45):
After retiring from football, he moved to Alaska and started
filming his outdoor adventures. Zanka has hosted multiple hunting and
fishing programs, including North to Alaska, Suzuki's Great Outdoors, and
Zanka Outdoor.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
What a crap players to have to play football?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Okay yea.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
He said it drove him to Alaska because he hated
the training cape. The training camp there in the summer
would just zap him, so all you could think about
was Alaska, and it kind of kind of inspired what became,
you know, his outdoor production empire.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
That tracks with me.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
I guided the nose tackle from that team to a
four point bowl?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Does he have a name?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Manny Fernandez?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Johnny guided him.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
In nineteen seventy two. You didn't have to be a
giant to play nose tackle. All of those look like
average dudes. Yeah, it could have been a plumber.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Question five. The topic is woodsmanship. This is our listener
question of the week, which was won by Tim Jasper
for sending this great question. Tim 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 Trivia at the meat eater
dot com. Merriam Webster defines this seven letter word as
(23:58):
quote a prime that grows vertically downward and gives off
small lateral roots. Merriam Webster defines this seven letter word
as a primary route that grows vertically downward and gives
off small lateral roots. Randall quick to answer, He's the
(24:21):
only one. No, come on, okay, March Oh Marge is
already on her doodle. You know this one March. Marge
has this one and now she's she's working on her
drawing for US. Yanna, you have this one, right, I
believe so a primary route that grows vertically downward and
gives off small lateral roots. Randall, did you ever watch
(24:43):
Zanka Outdoors? ESPN?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Loved it?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He uh, he famously. I think he ended that show
after he got he had to get rescued off the
coast of Alaska. Yeah, they like got caught in a storm,
drifted fifteen miles off course on a black tail hunt. Uh,
and then the show ended.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Yeah, he was saved.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He was saved by the coast guard. The crazy thing
about the coast guard when they had to come rescue him.
I think it was a ten hour flight to get there.
It's all just far away from everything what they were.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
It seems hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Again, we're on question five. Merriam Webster defines this seven
letter word as a primary route that grows vertically downward
and gives off small lateral roots. Yannie, Randall and Marge
are confident. I feel like you know it, Mackenzie. Mackenzie
feels like she knows it, and Yannie feels like Mackenzie
(25:37):
knows it as well.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
I got really excited when the first thing I wrote
on was primary and it had seven and then I
realized that it was already in the question.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, carnivore was on the carnivore question.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
As well as any flesh eating animal that has no
natural predators or enemies. Again, we're on question five. We
will get a scoreboard update from Phil after this.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Sure is a fun part of the day. Well, oh,
it's great, love. The day doesn't really start until we
start playing.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Whirler.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
No, I'm a crossword man. I held my tongue earlier
when people were joking about how old you need to
do to play crosswords. In fact, Spencer sending me his
test crossword inspired me to renew my time subscription. Oh wow,
and then I knocked out a couple bad boys in
the first week, and I haven't really touched it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Since he's getting back into play in shape. Yeah, when
the crossword comes out, I think something we'll do is
we'll maybe tell you some crew member scores for that
week's crossword. Randall doesn't want to be embarrassed by his
pathetic score that he has, so he's been practicing. You
didn't have a pathetic score.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I'm just sorry. I smoked that crossword you sent to
me in like four minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And he smoked the hard crossword that I sent to him.
And I was going to make sure whatever score he
has to present to the meat eater audience is going
to be as good as it gets.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I don't mean to come across as a jerk or anything.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Is everybody ready brutal? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Randalls saying tamproot, Cordy says spiders, Mackenzie without
an answer. Matt says primary, col says primary. Anthony says
the root. Marge says tap root, and drew us a
beautiful little garden that has one of those carrots the
(27:38):
lions okay, and then a large perfect and Yanni says
tap root. He got it. The correct answer is tap root.
The tap root serves many functions like anchoring the plant,
absorbing water and nutrients, and storing proteins. In some cases,
the part of the plant that we eat is actually
(27:59):
the tap root. This is true for vegetables like carrots, radishes, turnips,
and beats.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Phil we're halfway through.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
All right, everyone's on the board. It's got cal Anthony, Corey,
and Mackenzie with one point. Matt and Maggie have two,
and hey, just like last week's game of trivia, it's
down to Randall and Giannis. Currently they're tied up at
with four points apiece.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Anybody's game.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't find you know the tap root one. I've
never heard that word in my life.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Never heard of it.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You know, sometimes you're really close to.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Getting in Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Never what about the band? M m no, I don't
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
The bad part is like every basic biology class in
the United States, hous a lesson off.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Of question six. The topic is cooking. Yeah, this state
produces sixty percent of America's seafood, and this is measured
in pounds. Question six, the topic is cooking. This state
(29:14):
produces sixty percent of America's seafood. Corey very quick to answer,
Mackenzie now joining him with an answer. Yanni, it's grinning
is He writes down an answer. This state produces sixty
(29:37):
percent of America's seafood.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
I feel like this is a tricky one.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I feel like it's a trick question.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
It's got to be right.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Randall, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I don't know. I still know Corey.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Do you have this one right? The quickest to answer?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I feel like it can't be any other state.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay, how about you? Yanni?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Good?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Guess that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Good. Yeah, he liked what Corey said. It seemed to
bring him a bit of confidence.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
I haven't read anything about you know, stats along the
lines of where most of the seafood comes from.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So get measured in pounds, this state produces sixty of
America's seafood. Is everybody ready? Mackenzie making a last second,
I was just crossing.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We have Randall saying Alaska, Cory Alaska, Mackenzie and Matt
and Cal saying Alaska.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Anthony says Maine, Marge says Maine.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yanni says Alaska could be Louisiana. The correct answer is Alaska,
room very well. In twenty twenty two, commercial anglers in
Alaska produced five billion pounds of seafood. That's followed by
Louisiana with nine hundred million pounds. Virginia with four hundred million,
(31:14):
and Mississippi and Oregon with two hundred million.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Steam drop off sixty.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Percent of your seafood comes from Alaska. Question seven. The
topic is fishing. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation created
this three word campaign as a way to increase participation
in fishing.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Didn't we have this question?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I not had this question, but we had a question
about a movement that became a group, which was leave
no trace. So there's a hint. The answer is not
leave no trace to this one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
That's helpful.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Question again is The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation created
this three word campaign as a way to increase participation
in fishing. Randall and Yanni both have an answer. Do
you boys have this one right?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I think so. If it were in any other context,
I probably wouldn't be second guessing myself. But given here
we are question seven, I'll tie up.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
No, I'm overthinking it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
You have this one right?
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Watch this.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
Gage Spencer's reaction to a quick peak at my glimpse.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Janni flashed me his answer to the question Recreational Boating
and Fishing voundation. I hated this three word campaign as
a way to increase participation in fishing.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
I wrote that down and then I erased it and
wrote my answer.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And they disagree.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Good for the game, good for the game, not gonna
be good for one of.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Us, good for this family.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well you never know.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Well I don't like that. It was my initial. Oh
I guess.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Is everybody ready.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've learned over the years. You gotta stick with your.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Should have three words for your answer.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
I'm a coward.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying,
take me fishing. Corey says, let's go fishing. Mackenzie, get
out there, met just go fish. Cow take a kid, Anthony,
take a cast, Marge, go fish Yannis, let's go fishing.
(33:41):
We have a correct answer in the room. It's take
me fishing.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Oh, Randall right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
When Congress passed the Sport Fishing and Boating Safety Act
in nineteen ninety eight, they required the Department of the
Interior to address fishing participation. Thus, the Recreational Boating and
Fishing Foundation was made, who then created the Take Me
Fishing program. Take Me Fishing helps new anglers, especially kids,
(34:10):
acquire the gear, licenses, and knowledge to start fishing. You
were all on the right track, but only Randall came
up with the correct answer.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Strong question.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
The topic is conservation. This endangered amphibian, which has become
a popular aquarium pet, is only native to lakes near
Mexico City. Oh, This endangered amphibian, which has become a
popular aquarium pet, is only native to lakes near Mexico City.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Can we have a verbal answer if we don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
How to.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Just write down your answers? Spelling has never mattered except
for one time in the history of media or trivia.
One question in the thirteen hundred questions I've ever answer asked,
you had to spell correctly. This one you do not.
This endangered amphibian, which has become a popular aquarium pet,
is only native to lakes near Mexico City.
Speaker 9 (35:13):
I'm on the same page as you, March. I think m.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Corey thinks he has it right. Mackenzie and Marge maybe
have it right. Randall. Do you have an answer written
down yet?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
I do not, which is surprising because I'm pretty into
exotic pets.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Surprising my kids are obsessed with. Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Okay, there's a hint. If you know Phil's family, you
can see one in town. Oh, okay, another hint from
March where at that's enough.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
There it's an aquarium store where I go for.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Gary the goldfish censer and said, did not eat on part.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Of my plate?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No way?
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Can you now house him? Yeah, he's.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I call it the viv And I also have to
go there to get crickets for my pet frog. So
this endangered and has become a popular aquarium pet is
only native to lakes near Mexico City. Phil, What have
(36:27):
you gotten this one? Right? If you didn't have the
answer in front of you?
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Yeah, ok, because there is another building in Bozeman where
you can see one of these that's not the visa.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
All right, provided any hints for this answer? Yanni now
has an answer, Randall, do you have an answer that's
a joke?
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Answer?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Okay, everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Randall saying pokemon. Corey says ax a lottle, Mackenzie
axe lottle, Matt, Hila, cal and Anthony without an answer.
Large says axe lottle, and she drew us an axe lottle.
(37:13):
Janni says leopard frog. The correct answer is axe lottle.
About half of the room. Got that one right?
Speaker 9 (37:21):
How do you spell it?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
A XO L O T L. Did anybody have that right?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I just missed close.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Yes, Cory was very close.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Axe lottle are a type of salamander that reached sexual
maturity without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of taking to land, adults
remain fully aquatic and gild. They are one of the
planet's most endangered animals, with recent surveys indicating that there
are fewer than one thousand left in the wild. However,
they are easy to breed and take care of in captivity,
(37:54):
which has made them popular in the pet trade.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Man, you gotta wonder, like if that species could go
back and do it again. M hm, would they further
evolve or are they like no long term survival? Says,
kids are gonna put us in tanks. We're gonna be everywhere.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Yeah, and they are.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And they're all white. Now, basically, any axe lot you
see an aquarium is lucistic or albino. We have there's
a series of lakes in Montana called the Axilata Lakes
which have a tiger salamander in them which does not
fully go through metamorphosis. But they're not a true ax
A lott they're high up in some alpine lakes. It's
(38:33):
just too cold. That determined that they never decided to
take that next step.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, they're like, we're not crawling on it.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard Updateeah.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Let's see.
Speaker 8 (38:47):
I usually do the math before this, but I wasn't
paying any attention. I think, Uh, let's see Randall and
Yannis are once again the only players. Oh no, because
we're on question eight, so anyone with three points can
catch up.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
So well, no, no, nope, it's do.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Randall's got six gas has five?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Just heard Phil doing the math. Phil, I think you
want to get an axe Lottle.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
Oh please please don't plant I mean, if my kids
had a rolling here again, I know you and you
will definitely plant that in their heads.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I think I will. Question nine. The topic is wildlife.
This state capitol is known for having North America's largest
urban bat population, which you can see at the Congress
Avenue Bridge.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
I swear to god, we've already had this one.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
We've never had this question, I promise.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I know you have a system for this, but it
was worded a different way.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Maybe Nope. I we've had questions about we had to
where you had to name a state capital where you
could fish in the Missouri River or Mississippi River, I
think it was. We've never had this question though.
Speaker 8 (39:53):
If you try to take on Spencer's spreadsheets, Colts, it's
a losing battle.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
This state capitol is known for having winning the largest
urban population, which you can see at the Congress Avenue Bridge. Randall,
do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I believe so.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Cordy, do you have this one right?
Speaker 5 (40:12):
I'm just making a guess of a state that I
think has a lot of bats.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Marge, you have this one right. Okay, Yanni, we need
you to get this one right to keep pace with Randall,
who's confident in his answer.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yeah, I'm failing at that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Okay. You need to write down a state capitol that
is known for having North America's largest urban bat population,
which you can see at Congress Avenue Bridge. Randall, have
you ever seen this place? Have you've been there?
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Saw TV?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Okay, that's helpful. No one else in the room looks
very confident. Again, your answer will be a state capitol.
Don't write down the state right down the state capitol.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
I else could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
So okay, yeah, maybe the TV was wrong.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Don't want to be No, I just don't want to
be over confident. I could be misremembering what I saw
on the Tell me.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
It's super easy, super you.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Have right, cat?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yes, okay, have you been there?
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Did you like see the thing? Or no?
Speaker 4 (41:14):
I feel like it's kind of like impossible to go
to this town and not hear about the.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
Cals having deja vu because he already told the story
in another game of trivia.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
It's everybody ready, go ahead and reveal your answers. We
have Randall saying Austin. Corey says Albuquerque, Mackenzie Saint Paul
Matt Baltimore, Cal Austin, Massachusetts, Anthony Sacramento, March, Austin. She
(41:51):
drew us a bat, honest, Lexington, Wait.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
A minute, it's Boston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
The correct answer is this is Austin, Texas. We had
about half of the room get that one right. Roughly
one point five million bats call Austin home from March
to September. Each night, at sunset, they fly out of
They fly out from the Congress Avenue Bridge to hunt
for insects along the Colorado River. The Texas Parks and
(42:20):
Wildlife Department says the tourist attraction brings one hundred and
forty thousand people and ten million dollars to the city
each year.
Speaker 8 (42:28):
What type of bat?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
It's a Mexican Let's see here, I have it written down.
It's a Mexican long tailed bat or something like that.
They're very common in Texas. Now here's a correct answer.
Review so far. Question one was one hundred and sixty
five degrees two Apex Predator three Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma
(42:51):
four Larry Zanka five tap Route six Alaska, seven, take
Me Fishing eight Axiladel nine Austin, Texas. And I think
with that last question, Randall has wrapped up the victory.
But we'll finish the game anyway to see if he
can get the near perfect game. Question ten, the topic
(43:12):
is hunting. What is the most common shotgun shell length
at bass pro and shields? Do do you have seven
correct answers right now? Or eighty? Yes? Seven? Okay, you
won't get the near perfect game?
Speaker 5 (43:27):
Ruined it already?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Uh huh again. This is question ten. The topic is hunting.
What is the most common shotgun shell length at bass
pro and shields.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I've heard this would have been a good multiple choice
to see where people am.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
Now back to the Austin, Texas thing. I've heard Steve
bring it up, I think on Rogan's podcast before. Maybe
maybe that's what you were thinking of what I've never
never had it as a trivia question.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
I've never heard of that Austin than bat thing in
my life or tap root.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
It's like a major tourist attract I've.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
Never been to Austin.
Speaker 9 (44:09):
I've been to Austin like five times and have never Yeah,
I'm not sure what were you doing there?
Speaker 4 (44:15):
I was, I was uh huh yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Well next time barbecue right there.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
Are designed are like perfect for bats.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
So they changed they changed the architecture of that in
nineteen eighty and that was what attracted all the bats.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
We're learning something about Randall. Right, now you've got a
bat thing. Randall.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
I just if there was a way to build bridges
so that bats are attracted to them, I'd build them
the other way.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
But there there's such a uh it's a flying mammal,
which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
Yeah, I caught one in a pizza box one time.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
I got one on the trail the other day found
a little sucker lane.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
Oh yeah, keeps the insect population down. Think about that
one point five million bats flying around eating.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Plus they're like pollinators.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
I'm not I'm not discounting there.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
This is a pro bat podcast when podcast? Does everyone
have an answer for the most common shotgun shell length?
At bass pro and.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
Okay, has anybody noticed here in the Gallatin Valley like
a serious declineate bees? I don't think we've had any bees,
and like all our pepper plants, I don't think they
cross pollinated this year. I have heard about this bees issue.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Go on, I got stung yesterday, really at the house nod.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Was that your first time?
Speaker 5 (45:42):
Nice getting stung?
Speaker 1 (45:45):
I have got stung before life?
Speaker 6 (45:48):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
I've gotten stung by a wasp.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Did you grow up.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
In a bubble?
Speaker 1 (45:57):
It's everybody ready.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Go ahead and then reveal your answers.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
We have Randallson saying three inches, Corey three, Mackenzie three,
Matt two and three quarter, Cal two and three quarter,
Anthony two and a half, Marge two and three quarter,
Yanni two and three quarter. The correct answer is two
(46:22):
and three quarter. We had five of you. Get that
one right at shields, there are one hundred and forty
four shells offered in two and three quarter versus one
hundred and twenty three shells offered in three inch. For
bass Pro there are eighty four shells in two and
three quarter versus forty eight in three inch. After that,
(46:43):
the most common lengths at both stores are three and
a half inch, two and a half inch, and one
in three quarter.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
Oh Man, I totally misunderstood the question. I thought it
was like the most common shell sold, which I still
think has to be two and three quarter. But obviously
if the variety, it's.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Probably the same. I think I think you'd you'd come
to the same conclusion, mat or how you thought about that?
Randal is our winner with seven correct answers, Randall, where
is your five hundred dollars donation from me? Dedrew going
to go?
Speaker 5 (47:18):
I would like to make this donation to the Three
Rivers Land Trust in North Carolina's Piedmont and Sandhills area.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I notice you fumbling with your phone at about question seven,
which I assume was to well, look up what conservation group?
Speaker 5 (47:32):
Yeah? I received an email from their development associate Michael
Chipeda apologize if I've mispronounced your last name, and they
run a sports and access program that provides access to
four thousand acres of private lands for hunters in that area.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
He is also the first guy to donate fifty dollars
to Randall's Venmo account.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
I'm not on I got kicked off for selling guns.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Randal can easily be bought, and he's sending five hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
Where the Three Rivers Land Trust.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Three Rivers Land Trust. Now a reminder Meadeater Crosswords are
available August fourteenth, that's next week, with new puzzles dropping
every Wednesday. Go play the first one at the medeater
dot com backslash Games. Also next week, Randall is going
to be hosting so come right back here for more
meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
Speaker 5 (48:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
Spencer, Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
