Ep. 955: Game On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCXLI

The podcast combines a hunting-focused narrative with an engaging trivia segment, offering practical advice for aspiring deer guides, such as building rapport, understanding local terrain, and tailoring hunts to client expectations. It features a dynamic game show format where listeners compete in multiple-choice questions across hunting, fishing, gear, and cooking categories. Key topics include the drop-point hunting knife as the most popular blade, Italy and Germany as leaders in high-quality hiking boots, the term "red" for trout spawning beds, and the Beaufort scale for wind measurement. A standout question features a world record large mouth bass caught in Japan in 2009, while another highlights Illinois as having the shortest general firearms deer season. The episode concludes with a trivia tiebreaker on Montana’s mule deer population, which is revealed to be 273,415, with Randall winning due to closest answer. Throughout, the show promotes conservation, outdoor skills, and real-world hunting knowledge, ending with a promotion for Meat Eater’s duck blind gear collection. The host and panel deliver an energetic, informative, and entertaining experience rooted in the traditions of the outdoors.

This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. The best part of a Whitetail sit is often the part you have to earn. The temperature drops, nothing's moving, and climbing down starts sounding pretty good. The difference between seeing it through and climbing down early is about heart, but it's also about heat. That's why first light built whispered down. With 900 fill power, muscovy down, box baffle construction, and quiet water resistant fabric, it delivers serious warmth without weighing you down. First light whispered down, pack light, stay longer. Check it out now at FirstLight.com. We're good. I just start whenever I feel like it. Have at it. Welcome to meat eater trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. There's a prize meter will donate $500 for the conservation organization of the winners choosing. I'm your host Brody, and today we're joined by Corey, Riva, Spencer, Randall, Sarah and Seth. Got them all. Didn't screw any of them up. Counterclockwise. Counterclockwise. Yeah. You know, whatever. I'm ready. I'm ready. Okay. Where am I at? Oh, this is a 10 round quiz show with questions for meaties for verticals, hunting, fishing, conservation and cooking. As most of you know, that's like loose. Yes. Those categories are loose. Meat eater trivia is brought to you by one of our favorite beers, bush light, bush light, head for the mountain. Tasty. That's a good read. We got a mail bag question today. If you've got a question, you want the trivia crew to answer, then send your questions to trivia at the meat eater dot com with the subject line mail bag and Spencer will check them out. I will. Okay. Today we've got one from Jess A, who writes, "My husband Josh recently got a job with an outfitter to do hunt guiding in Arizona. He has many years of experience doing everything from hunting to backwards camping from the most deserty deserts to the woods to everything in between. He's looking for resources on how to be a good guide and have a good guiding business. Any recommendations besides watching and listening to more meat. Cory laid on me. Man, I feel like to be a good guy to just kind of come natural. So best of luck. No. How many years were you fishing guide and hunted that, Cory? 15 years. Damn. Yeah. And I wasn't great at it at first. I was a punk, like, you know, 18, 19, 20 year old kid. So it didn't come naturally. I already did. You had it from the start. You got to pretend like you give a damn about what they're telling you. You know, you see, you're not painting a good picture here. I think it's back to a lot more out of you. Fake it till you make it, brother. I mean, you've got everyone in this company for elk. You should have heard Cory the other day when we were fishing. Not everyone. He just would roll into his little guide. Like, now there's a little sweet little pocket of water right here coming up behind this. And he would just, he'd be talking to you. And then he would, there would be like an auto play in his head that, as you approach to pieces of structure or whatever he would, or this bank looks pretty moose. I wonder if there's a bowl tucked away somewhere in the will of this thing. There's like way more to it than what he's saying. Random. You did a little guiding. You got any tips? Man, I honestly think it's, uh, do you get along with people to people have a good time when they're with you and either do or you don't. Yeah. Anyone else got anything to add? A hundred with a guide, fish with a guide. Think you got to have good interp. Like, you got to have like 10 or 15 facts, but where you're getting kind of locked down. Ready to pull out at any time. Yeah. But you don't want it sound like you're telling the same damn story over and over again. Just what I got from Cory fishing. Yeah. Yeah, it looks pretty nice. Over there is the tree that got struck by lightning. Yeah. I think where you got, you got to read people too. Well, I'm going to, I'm going to get to my whole show. Yeah. I was hoping Cory would just like have a lot more to say about that's that's all I know. Yeah. Like, some more details would help. I'm assuming she's talking about, he's going to be guiding deer now, but there's like all different kinds of guiding deer now could be hiking in, could be horsepacking, could be out of vehicles, a lodge, hotels, who knows. That all makes a difference in how you're going to prepare for a hunt and then how the guides are going to guide. If there's, you, you made, obviously you didn't do this core. You just jumped right in, but there are guide schools and training pro where I'm just like out there. They run some here in Montana. Yeah, I actually went to one when I was 17, but there's more of a pack school we learned about it. Yeah. For sure, which if he's needing to, I don't know if they're doing that kind of hunting, he should look into it. No, that's a good point. Some of you alluded to what I'm going to get to. Your husband, he needs to be patient, he needs to be a good teacher, he needs to make things interesting and be able to tell a story and tell details about the area, you know, geology, history, flora, fauna, all that stuff. You got to be, and I think Randall alluded to this, you got to be able to top comfortably to all different kinds of people, like including the ones you might not agree with on certain things. Oh, terrible people. Um, just the worst. And we always kind of had a hard rule, like don't talk politics, don't talk religion, don't talk anything that like people get real upset about, like find common ground. Um, you can be like the most knowledgeable experience skilled hunter in the world, but like if you're not good with people, you ain't going to have a good outfit or business. Um, and then I would say the last thing is like, get to know your clients ahead of time and prepare them for the hunt, um, know what their expectations are, like if a hunter is like seriously out of shape, he probably can't hike up a mountain to kill a trophy bull. And if that's your expectation for him, that's like not the way to do it. Like you need to hunt off of their expectation, they might be happy with a young cow that's easy to get to. Um, and then other things like, like find out what their shooting skills are, what gear they need, all that stuff's going to make you do a better job. That's all I got to say. That's good advice. Yeah. We just went to guide school. Oh, yeah. I should. I thought Corey would be teaching guide school here at Mediter, but now I'm not like, no, I think everything I said, basically, you just added more details. Oh, you covered it, fake it till you make it. That was kind of a long one. So we're not going to do any housekeeping today. Um, the Henderson family index. Like, use my, my wife and my two boys for this, uh, today is a 4.5. So our winner should get nine correct answers. If the, if the index means anything at all, I'm not sure if that doesn't seem to it. Can I tell you what the index largely function that people need something to compete against every week? Uh, then that's a lot of folks who come up to be and be like, uh, I just try to beat the Shelby index. Right. That's, uh, it's just set to base. There you go. For more than a half years, who can't catch Brody or Randall on the episode. All right. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop. Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win everything. How's that just tend to win everything? Okay, our first question as always is multiple choice, the category is hunting or gear, whichever one you want, um, the most common, you got, you got the question up there, Phil? You know, I have this conversation as this, uh, I wait until the host starts reading the question and then I move the slide to see it up there. Don't you have to know the things they're working, the words are bigger on the, there it is. It looks like it's working great. Like it does every single week. Okay. I don't, yeah. You know, it's got to make sure, make sure you're playing attention, Phil. The most common and popular style of hunting knife blade is a clip point, B trailing point, C drop point or D spear point, uh, where are you getting this, is this like a historical most popular or just like the most available market today, available knowledge. If you looked it up on the internet, you'd find 200 things that say the same thing. All right. I feel like an idiot because none of this lingo means anything to me. Yeah. Sam, you guys have heard this stuff. I know you've heard this, um, Randall, I know, I know a few of these something they'd probably teach you. Big knife boy. Big knife guy. No, not a big knife guy. You know what, though? I did. I, well, one time I picked up a hitchhiker and, uh, I love the story that I picked up a hitchhiker and he was like, we, we were just getting the wrong impression from him or maybe we were getting the right impression. We're getting bad vibes. And me and my buddy were in the seats of my pickup and the guys in the bed and we got the little slide window open and all of a sudden this knife and this hand come through here. Huh. And we're like, oh my god. I guess. I'm a big knife guy. He's like, check this out, man. You like this? And then he, he began to tell us that he was a big knife guy and his brother was a big knife guy, but his brother ended up getting stabbed. Oh, wow. So I was wondering what they really meant by big knife guys, like if it was just like a collector stabbing people by the way they die by the blade. Yeah, he offered to get us beer and drugs every week we learned something new. about Randall when ever texted him back. The most common and popular style of hunting knife blade is a clip point, V trailing point, C drop point or D spear point. That guy would know the answer. Or if you're still alive. Still got his number. No. Is everyone got an answer? Right, dig up old phone records. Actually, we did try to calm one time. All right, reveal your answer. Cess says drop point. Sarah says drop point. Randall says clip point. Spencer says trailing point. Reva says spear point and Corey says drop point. We have some correct answers. No, it's not me. The answer is C drop point. Yes. Good work, Corey. Hey, you want to show us that picture, Phil? Are you just lagging behind or what's going on? There you go. I don't need to defend myself. So there you have it on the on the left there is a drop point. That's the most common and popular style blade for a hunting knife. A little extra info. A drop point knife is a versatile blade design defined by a spine that occurs convexly downward from the handle towards the lower reinforced tip. The top edge slope smoothly downward towards the point rather than running straight or dipping. The full thickness of the steel carries forward to the point, making the tip much thicker and resistant to snapping or bending under pressure. The sweeping curve provides ample service area for long, smooth slicing strokes. The point sits closer to the center of the axis of the blade, which improves control, precision and reduces accidental punctures during delicate work. There you go. Very nice. Bet you got one of those in your in your hunting kit. Okay. On to question two. The category is gear. Oh, he's got it up quick this time. What two European countries are recognized for making the highest quality leather hiking boots in the world. Quite certain you all have had boots from both of these companies on your feed at one point or another country. I thought about doing one, but it just seemed lame. I would have preferred to do one. Maybe we could, you could still change your mind. No. Did your kids get this one right? Between my wife and my kids. They did. Oh, okay. Gosh. Brody's a fellow anti-god hook guy. I know that. Oh, yeah. Don't like them just getting away. Yep. You're either good with a knife or you're not. That's what I look at. But I punctured my shared stomachs in my time. I kind of like the smell now. Hopefully I'll get there someday. Yeah. Randy likes to smell it as far as the next day. He likes puncture them in the guts. Everyone got an answer? We're good. Yep. All right. Flip them over. Seth, Italy and Germany. Sarah, Italy and Switzerland. Randall, Italy and Switzerland. Spencer, Italy and Switzerland. Riva, Italy and Germany. Cory, Italy and Germany. We got some people that got it right. The answers are Italy and Germany. Oh, no. The two European countries, most famous for producing high-quality leather hiking boots are Italy and Germany. Both nations share a deep-rooted heritage of alpine mountaineering and master level shoemaking craftsmanship. In Italy, the boot making is largely centered around the Montabaluña region in northern Italy. Italian manufacturers are renowned for pioneering modern hiking boot innovations such as the original vibram rubber lug sole and bouncing rugged, bouncing rugged durability with premium supple leather. Top brands, crispy scarpa, zamberland and last sportiva. Germany, mainly concentrated in the Bavarian region. German boot making focus is heavily on traditional robust craftsmanship and incredible longevity. Their boots are known for being highly supportive and structural, they have a lot of structural integrity meant for heavy load backpacking. Top brands are low up, mindal and handwag. You got to know that it was a German brand. There you go. Learn something today. Damn it. Is that one hurt, Randall? No, I mean, it's fine. And hindsight, it shouldn't have said Germany. Yeah, you should have. Okay, question three. Are we moving real fast or real slow, Phil? We're right on time. Yeah, we're doing great. I'd say your flavor text is, they're kind of extended. Wait till you see the next one. I've seen the script, so I'm just saying it gets longer. No, I like them long. I like explaining myself. Okay, question three, the category is fishing. This four-letter word is another name for a trout char or salmon spawning bed. Oh, yeah, I've got some good stuff for this one, Phil. Corey, how many points do you have? This will be number three. Oh, wow. That's fun. Don't want to get too excited. It's early still. Yeah, it's going to get tough. So that's the bass fisherman, by the way. Yeah, I like bed fishing bass too. Spencer, weren't you some kind of fisheries by, yeah, not cold water. Okay, cold water is a blind spot for me. If you don't know this word, four-letter word is another name for a trout char or salmon spawning bed. Probably a few of these out there right now is the brown trout. I was going to say if you don't know this word, how do you get directions on where to fish? Some people would take issue with that, but I don't know. I am being facetious. Oh, no, I'm not. I'll clarify that for the. You don't like rip and moth spawning beds with egg patterns? Not so much. I'll go back. They go right back. I've watched them do it. And then some of them go down the current. Yeah, somewhere else. I think I know, but I don't want to spill it. Man, just make sure there's four letters. That means you should. No, never mind. What? Nothing. That's a good question. I'm surprised we haven't. You was going to tell us it's an easy word to spill. I don't know what either. All right, come on. I got a long flavor text. Okay. Here we go. Sess ready. Flip them over. Sess says red. Sarah says red. Randall says red. Spencer says home. Riva says nest. Corey says red. I'm going to give it to you, Seth, which is four letters. Like red a book. Oh, god, but it's like I'm good. If you guys are okay, we're thinking, yeah, I'm a phone. Um, Phil, you paying attention to who who gets them right? Because I'm not. He always does. Yeah, I try to do that every week. That's his job. Okay, let's learn about the term red. It's please. Traces back to the old English word heredin in the early 15th century trout spawning beds are called reds because the word comes from an old Scottish verb meaning to clear or to make tidy to red or red up means to clean or put a room in order when a female trout, you got, yeah, you got it up there. I just got to stop asking Phil if he's doing his job. This is really weird. When a female trout in her salmon built a nest, she uses their tail, fin and body to brush and scrape the riverbed clean and sweeps away all the dark silt mud moss and these that bright patch of gravel that you see there. Um, and it's got two parts. The pot is the scooped out depression where she lays her eggs and the tail spill or pillow is the mound of gravel downstream that'll settle over the eggs and cover them up and protect them. There we go. Wow. That wasn't nearly as long as I was expecting. Yeah. And it feels like impatient. I'm seeing if I got any of their even. Oh, yeah, I do. I got some longer ones. Waterfall season is here and to celebrate the meat eaters store is running duck blind a week long round up featuring our favorite gear for the blind are very own and beloved Brent Reeves went down to RNT in Stuttgart and worked with the guys there to design a custom call the RNT and meat eater Daisy cutter. We only have a handful. So once they're gone, they're gone. Also, we got a bunch of new gear, including DSD decoys and their brand new keel feed that add realism to any brand of decoy plus all the gear we use and trust here at meat eater head to the meat eaters store.com to see the full duck blind collection. Question four. This one's especially for Randall the categories birds. Oh, bird guy. Rough grouse have two primary color phases red and blank. [MUSIC] Riva's got an answer. She doesn't even know what a rough grass looks like. [LAUGH] >> I almost made it critical. >> Nevermind, you've done this one? >> No, no. >> Does anybody know this one? >> Yeah, not really. Maybe, find out. >> You guys should hunt grouse more. >> I have grouse, but just not the rough ones. >> Only when they get in the way. >> Rough ones are all over around here. >> Yeah, I like, I usually hunt more country. >> And they're dumb? >> And they're dumb? >> And they're sharpies and. >> Yeah, open stuff. >> Yeah, rough grouse are way better to eat in sharp tails. >> Is that a universal agreement that they're dumb birds? >> No, like back east where Seth and I grew up, they're the most paranoid birds in the world. >> But around here, they're just dumb, because nobody hunts them. >> No, come, you're relatively speaking. >> Like dusky grouse, like the ones you see up here. >> I want to flush it, it flies up into the tree six feet like staring at you. They're great, like shoot them out of the trees. >> Looks like those are cave games with like this. >> All right, flip them over. Seth says gray, Sarah says brown, Randall says gray, Spencer says tan. Riva says yellow, I told you she didn't know what a rough grass looks like. >> Coria blue, Coria, I'm disappointed, man. >> Blue is a blue grouse. >> I had brown and changed it. >> I wanted to tell. >> I changed from blue. >> We had some correct answers, the answer is gray. >> Yes, Sethy. >> Is that really a color? >> Yes, brothers. >> I should have done a picture for this one, Phil. >> Yeah, you really messed up, Brody. >> I know. >> Amateur move. >> God, God. >> Anyway, two rough grouse color phases are red and gray, which are most clearly distinguished by the color of their tail and some body feathers. Mostly tail. Red features a reddish brown, a rust colored body, and a distinct rusty or red tone tail. Gray features a paler body with a distinctly gray tail and rump feathers, usually featuring a black subterminal band near the tip. Gray phase birds dominate colder, snowier northern regions of Canada, Alaska, and northern U.S. like right here in Montana. Red phase birds are common in milder southern climates in Pacific coastal areas. Biologists note that these variations are heavily tied to natural selection. In habitat, gray phase birds often have a survival advantage in northern areas while red phase birds have better camouflage during snow-free periods. >> There you go. >> Phil. >> He's a professional. >> Obviously, they're both of them one spot there. >> Yeah, most of them around here at gray that I've seen. There you go. Thank you, Phil. >> What a difference between us today. >> Thanks, you're welcome. >> All right, moving on to question five. The category is weather. Now Spencer, I was very worried that we might have had this question before, but I couldn't get one right. >> I couldn't ask you. Okay, Phil doesn't have it up yet. There it is. The Beaufort scale measures what? >> Category is weather. >> It's very quiet. I think Randall knew this. Why don't you get it right off the bat? >> Thanks so. >> Anyone else? >> Big weather guy. I just downloaded the weather channel app on my phone. >> How's that been? >> Is that? >> It's pretty bad. >> It's hard to navigate, I'll be honest. >> It's the one I've had forever, and I don't know why I haven't changed. It's just like what I'm used to. >> I've just gotten tired of googling weather place, weather place. >> Why you don't use the one that's just on your Apple phone? >> That one's the worst. >> Yeah, I just, I mean, they've really refined it over the last couple of days. >> No, no way. >> I mean, I believe they're refuse. >> I just use the national weather, sort of, but and windy is a real good thing. >> I use the one that's actually weather windy and the weather channel put them all together. >> Yeah, and just like, it's still probably going to be wrong. >> Yeah, I do windy weather underground, that's a pretty good. >> Yeah, I had that one for a while, but something about it bug me. >> I don't like the weather underground because of the terrorist association. >> Yeah, that's it, yeah. >> I'll explain that to me. >> Weather underground. >> Terrorist? >> Yeah. >> Look it out to it. >> It's okay, I will actually. >> Okay, I didn't know that, you'll have to explain that to me later. >> The weather channel is not the one. >> Steve about it, he likes talking. >> I'm sure he does. >> I was joking. >> What thing in the category of weather, the Beaufort scale? >> No, I mean, it is the same name, but it doesn't have any bearing on how I feel about the app. >> Oh, they're underground. >> I was going to say, thank you for making a stand, Randall, but I take it back. Pro Terrorist over there. >> All right, I think everyone has an answer, so flip them over. >> It's not going to go down. >> Seth says dew point, Sarah says wind, Randall says wind, Spencer says wind, Riva says air pressure, Corey says tides. >> Mm-hm, that's a good one. >> The answer is wind, speed or forced, so we had some right answers. >> Oh, no, deleted. >> It's tragic. >> No, wind is fine, just wind is fine. [LAUGH] Devise in 1805 by Irish-born British Royal Navy hydrograph, hydrographer? Hydrographer? Sounds weird. >> Sure. >> So, Frances Beaufort, the scale originally standardized how sailors logged wind effects on warship sales. It was later adapted for use on land. You can see the scale there is 0 through 12, like 4-0 is calm, wind under one mile an hour, smoke rises vertically, force 4 is a moderate breeze, 4-8, fresh gale, pretty high. Fresh gale is 39 to 46 miles an hour. >> That's where Randall lives. >> I know, I like how land conditions, like at one or two, it's directions shown by a smoke drift or wind felt on face at 12, it's just devastation. [LAUGH] >> Are you observing devastation? >> Yeah. >> On the head. >> There you go. >> Yeah, 11, that's pretty normal. >> Yeah, in Livingston. >> Yeah. >> Live your life. >> I drove through Livingston the other day, there was not like a breath of wind, and I was wondering what was going on. >> Yeah. >> Okay, Phil, do we need a scoreboard update, right? >> Now's about the time we do that. >> Yeah, I'll go ahead. >> That's a defeated trophy. >> [LAUGH] >> Here at halftime, we got everyone on the board here. >> Hey, Quattro, look at that. >> Spencer and Riva have one point of peace. >> That's why I host. >> Yeah, Spencer, I think you win more often than you do not when you are playing. We'll see if you catch up here. Sarah Randall and Cory have three points, and in first place, four points, Seth Morris. >> Kind of boy Seth. >> See if we can hold on to it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, Pennsylvania brain over here. >> The big old brain on Seth. >> Yeah, Pennsylvania brain, they got Osmosis going. [LAUGH] >> Yeah, think alike. >> Okay, on to question six, which happens to be our question of the week brought to you by- >> This is why I don't do that. >> What do you mean? >> I moved to the question too early. >> Just keep going, bro. >> All right. >> I mean, I really care what you're doing at this point. >> I already have the answer. >> So, there it is, too. >> Damn, I didn't even see it. >> What? >> Are you serious? >> Yeah, that's right, should I even keep going? >> Yeah, for the audience. >> I would see you, Mr. Brody. >> You really? >> These players aren't playing. >> Yeah, I think so. >> Nicely. Okay, question the week from- I'm not going to pronounce this, right? >> I'm not saying this, you know who you are. >> Shalom Tietje. We got his email. What's he get for sending the same- >> $150 first like gift card. If you want to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to triviathemedeter.com. >> Suspenser's got this script memorized. >> Diled. >> The category is guns. >> This type of rifle and shotgun stock with a raised cheekress comes from the French Riviera and shares a name with a former Las Vegas casino. >> My shotgun has one of these. >> I'm not changing it. >> I'm not changing it either, Seth. >> What's righted out? >> This is a hill I want to die on. >> I've never used a shotgun with one of these. I've used it right here with one of them. Do you think it's not right? >> I think I'm right, but I can't say that I'm 100% sure, but hmm. >> I mean, y'all know the name of a casino. Come on. >> A former casino? >> What's one of the old ones that went out of business? >> Lucky little? >> No, they're in business. >> I know you understand. >> There's lucky little, there's probably 10 lucky little's being built right now in one day. >> The new big right next to town pump on Hawfine, Seth's building. >> It's insane. >> Lucky little. Does everyone have an answer? >> Sure. >> Revee, have you ever been to Vegas? >> Yes. >> Come on. >> Think twice. >> Did you do some games? >> Yes, I actually have. >> Did you win? >> We've got to get Seth. >> No, I mean not much. >> I'm sorry. >> You saw the right drop. not much. Oh, you got an answer. All right. Flip them over. Says says Monty Carla. Sarah says Monty Carla. Randa says Monty Carlo. Spencer says Venetian. Eva says horseshoe and Cory has never been to Vegas. Nope. But I bet you shot a rifle with one of these things. I've never heard it. The answer is Monty Carlo Venetian. He's definitely shot one. Oh yeah. Can we show him a picture Phil? I took a lot of time to get a picture of this thing. Whether it be, yeah I would say if you have a weather bee you had Monte Carlo. There you go. That's what it looks like. The Monte Carlo design originated in the 19th century at the Monte Carlo shooting range in Monaco which was known for live pigeon shooting competitions. The raised cheek comb combined with a dark sharp downward step or cutaway near the heel. The design is widely used on shotguns especially trape and sporting models and large caliber rifles. The kind of the reason is keeping the head in a more upright natural position rather than forcing the neck to bend down and ensures the entire butt of the gun makes full contact with the shooter shoulder. Raise the shooter at shooters eye to the relative the rib line of a shotgun or aligns the eye properly with an optical scope. A deal for shooters with long neck's high cheekbones or sloping shoulders faster mounts with a shotgun like a quick instinctive mount to the face. The drawbacks are it can raise the head too high causing awkward alignment when shooting at steep upward or downward angles and on very large caliber rifles and I've experienced this. A high comb can sometimes increase perceived recoil particularly cheek and facial impact if the gun isn't dialed in precisely like the fin of the gun. You ever been to the Monte Carlo Brody? No. I've only, I think I've only been to Vegas twice. I hate that place. I love it. I've never been. I've been in the airport. I'm trying to get to shot show in a way. It's been too long. Yeah, let's go to Vegas. Do it. We'll bring Phil. Oh please. Will you like Hamlin? I know it gives me horrible anxiety but I like I like I like all the theme park Jason stuff down there. It's fun. We'll just go to the Tiki bars. Yeah, you can have a lot of fun there now without gambling. There's all kinds of crazy stuff to do. Question number seven. Put it up there Phil. Categories fishing. In 2009, an angler in what country tied the world record for large mouth bass? So we're naming the country. You're naming the country. Yes. 2009, an angler in what country tied the world record for large mouth bass? Spencer knows this. First one I feel confident about yeah. Anyone else confident? Pretty Seth. Pretty confident. Ass man. I mean, I think I have a narrowed down to two. Okay, about you Randall. I'm pretty confident. Pretty confident. All right. We got some people who think they know it. Everybody got an answer. Flip them over. Says says Mexico. Sarah says Canada. Randall says Japan. Spencer says Japan. Reva says Canada. He says USA. The answer is Japan. Dang it. Really? I knew they had a huge bass fishing culture but I thought they do. They think they were big. And they're there. You know, it's like they made that bastard. They're obviously not native to Japan. Yeah. On July 2nd 2009, Japanese angler Manubu Manabu Karita tied the large mouth bass world record set by George Perry and George's Lake Montgomery in 1932. He caught the massive large mouth out of Lake Bewa on a live blue goat, which I love. That's nice. That's good. And after some controversy about whether Karita Karita landed the bass in a no fishing zone was settled. Like he wasn't fishing in a no fishing zone. The record was officially certified by the IGFA. Big old fish. Did they include the weight of the blue girl in that? I don't know. If it made it into a stomach, you know, it actually like there's some rule in the IGFA record book that a record has to like exceed to break a record. The new record has to exceed it by I think two ounces. Maybe. And his bass actually weighed almost announced more than Perry's bested. But it didn't exceed whatever that that kind of like threshold threshold is. That's a big bucket. Oh gosh. Seth, could you imagine? I love fish alive blue goat one of those things. That would be fun. I imagine that's under a bomber too. Yeah. I bet a balloon on it. Yeah. You feel like an American angler wouldn't be caught dead doing that, Seth. No. An American angler wouldn't look like that. Oh, they do it on a choppy down. They're not using blue gills. Yeah. Yeah. So how do you feel like what would be the reaction in the United States if that's how someone set the new record? Do you think? Oh, I'd celebrate him. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't care either. I'm sure there's some dudes out there like you didn't do it with right. You know, some artificial. Yeah. Yeah. Waterfall season is here and to celebrate the meat eater store is running duck blind. A week long round up featuring our favorite gear for the blind. Our very own and beloved Brent Reeves went down to our NT in Stuttgart and worked with the guys there to design a custom call the RNT and meat eater Daisy cutter. Also, we got a bunch of new gear, including DSD decoys and their brand new keel feed that add realism to any brand of decoy plus all the gear we use and trust here at meat eater head to the meat eater store.com to see the full duck blind collection. All right. It's question eight before we get to that question. Let's do another scoreboard update, Phil. Don't we use we do it after questioning. Oh, yeah. Well, let's just do that after then, Phil. I've got an idea. It's a great idea. Great suggestion. You could have told me that beforehand. You saw the the script. You could have told me that you were waiting for me to disfail. Yeah. He was very. I used to like Phil. What between yesterday's news show and whatever you're doing today, I feel incredibly cornered. I love you. No idea. He's on indeed back there. This is also a fan question brought to you by Nicholas Sikoski who's turned in some questions before, but I wasn't going to give him the question of the week because I think he's already had it a couple of times. The category is what? You know why you can't win. No, he's already gotten the question twice. Spencer awarded it to him twice. Okay. Question is, no, it uses this four letter word to describe a circular current of water. Now, Corey, be very disposition guy. Corey over there. A lot of four letter words in this game. Not the not the nasty ones in countries. I can think about as being the crosswalk guy here in 15 minutes. Don't bring that into the office. Don't bring that negativity into the office. Crosswalk guy. Yeah. Crosswalk guy. Your kid can be the crosswalk guy. He'll be fine. He's not tall enough. There's some aggro drivers out there. You got to. Yeah, only people driving go carts would see him and stuff. Well, right. A damn answer down. If you need to be silly, like it's good. People lying down. They're falling apart. Core. Nothing coming to you, Seth. Core. Come on, bud. It's not four letters. Hold on. Let's keep talking. I started calling Corey. Core this weekend. Yeah, Corey, forget the tenor. Did you? It was a team effort. It was a miscommunication. Oh, no. Yeah. You survived. I think it was more fun. It didn't lead to just like a knockdown drag out fight in the middle of the woods. I brought the stove. The complete, like, just like, break down. There was no tent. When we were going to set up the tent. Two point, whatever. Who had the tarp? I had the tarp. No, it uses this four letter word to describe a circular current of water. I think everyone's got an answer. So flip them over. Seth says Eddie. Sarah says Eddie. Randall says Eddie. Spencer says Eddie. Riva says Locke. Corey does not have an answer. It doesn't always go in a circle. Your mind. The answer is Eddie hitting the game, buddy. This is a circle. I think of it as like a big old oval. That's it. That's a D shape sometime. I think you're nitpicking a little bit. Try to answer your question. There's a netty. Looks like a circle to me. The word Eddie comes from the word Ed, meaning turning back again or backwards. It is closely related to the old Norse word, "Etha," which explicitly means a whirlpool. Eddie has been used in the English language since the 15th century described flow patterns, such as water, air, smoke, or gas that move counter to the direction of the main current. Eddie's occur when a fluid moves past an obstruction, like a rock or bridge in a river, or when ocean or air currents pinch off a section of flow, creating a low pressure pocket where water or air curls back upstream or in a loop. The Eddie line is the invisible boundary or seam where a fast-moving main current meets the slower, reversed flowing water of the Eddie. In oceans, Eddie's bringing nutrient-rich, cold, deep water to the surface, and in rivers, they provide feeding and resting spots for fish out of the main current. They didn't teach about Eddie's in that guide school he went to, huh? I mean, I caught a fish in an Eddie just two days ago. Couldn't have named it, all right. I guess we got to do some kind of review now, Phil. Yeah, well, let's do a scoreboard, of course. Cory's basically got his refueling to that stuff a little bit. Yeah, Cory, who was in tied up in second with three points, has not gotten another point since then. So we're looking at Riva with one Spencer and Cory now have three points a piece. Sarah has five. And in first place, Seth and Randall are tied up with six. Okay, well, left side of the table. Mm-hmm, crushing power. Moving on to question nine. And we're going to do the correct answer review after this question, Phil, just so you know. Thank you. The category is cooking. According to culinary legends like Julia Childs and James Beard and Michelin chef Maua McQueen, what red wine is the gold standard recommendation for the French wine base stew called beef bourguignon. Anybody need me to read that again? The listener's too. All you listeners out there, according to culinary legends like Julia Childs and James Beard and Michelin chef Maua McQueen. Well, she has a bunch of restaurants around Aspen. What red wine is the like the go to for beef bourguignon is the wine based French stew. Cory, if you to died on that hunt with Randall, Randall is actually going to adopt Marshall afterwards. I don't know if he told you that. No, we didn't make it that far. I wouldn't have crossing guarded though, it's three jobs. I've got appointments at three. We're playing on teaching him how to smoke cigarettes and drink beer and cool stuff like that. That's primarily what you're going to teach him. Pick up hitchhikers. Yeah. That was a fun day. Correct. Okay. Lipa Mo over. I don't know why. Lipa Mo over. Okay. Sarah says Burgundy Randall says Port. Spencer says Cabernet. Cab says. What what what are you saying there? Cab Sob. Cabernet so many. Cory says Port. That's a zero percent. Oh, really? Uh, Pinot noir. Oh, because the dish originates from the Burgundy region. I'm thinking about giving this to you, Sarah, but I'm not. Hold on, hold on. What would you have? Burgundy. The Burgundy region of Eastern France is traditional standard is to use the grape, though. It's not the grape. That's true. Yes, Phil. It's a different ride. Yeah. It'd be a better game. The traditional standard is to use a Pinot noir from that same area. Julius child specifies a full-bodied Pinot noir. Michelin nominated chef. I got a Mau McQueen tired of his own flavor explicitly. It doesn't ace a dry red Pinot noir as the ideal choice. Noting its bright acidity and notes of red berries, herbs and earthiness complement the savory beef mushrooms and pearl onions. This is one of my favorite winter meals to make with deer deer elk. You can't go wrong with the original OG Julia child's recipe. We've also got a couple like versions of it on the Meteor website, including one made with Jackrabbit, but you can use deer elk in that recipe and it'll be great. So there you go. Make that recipe with a good one, boy. Okay, I guess I got to go through these answers. Phil doesn't do that for me. Question one, C drop point two is Italy and Germany. Three, the answer is red, R-E-D-D. Four is gray. Five is wind speeder force. My computer's stuck. Body Carlo. Seven is Japan eight is Eddie Pinot noir. Pinot noir. So this is this is the last question guys. What's the situation here? Tied up. Still tied. Oh, lot riding on this one. The category is hunting. I bet you spend through I'll get this right. Okay. What famous big white-tailed buck state has the shortest general firearms white-tail season in the country. Pulling the state out of the famous bucket. And it's not counting muzzleloaders. Where it is. General firearms. I think in this state, those are included in general firearms. There's not like a special, you know what I'm saying? You guys know. Look at gas. Geez. Do you know Seth? No. Big buck state. Which one has the shortest general firearms season in the country for white-tails? Spencer's really thanking man. He does all the big buck state dates. Get out of town. It's got his calendar apple. That's a good native app. Just think about what hunts. You've done Spencer that were the shortest. I know. I know. Because you've probably hunted this place. Oh, little clue. Can I change my answer? No. Yeah, I haven't said flip him yet. Go for it. No, no. I think you should. There's a lot on the line here. Did someone give a hint? No, no. Let's just do it. Okay, I gave you your chance. Flip him over. Seth says Wisconsin. Sarah says Wisconsin. Randall says Ohio. Oh, Spencer says Kansas. Iowa. Corey says Illinois. The answer is Illinois. Oh, interesting. Boy. Well, guess what? That means you stick around a little longer. Oh, we got a tiebreaker. Good thing I wrote one. Illinois fire on deer season is short and split into a three-day period in November and a four-day period in December. Illinois offers a long archery season that spans roughly three months from October through mid-January. But during gun season, high hunter numbers and high deer densities, especially in like open agricultural areas, mean high harvest rates and management quotas are achieved very quickly. A longer gun season could negatively impact mortality rates for young box, which would reduce trophy quality, which Illinois is known for, and excessive doe harvest could could deplete herd numbers. There's an asterisk here, because I'm sure some people will write in about this. There are sometimes some special additional late season doe only firearms opportunities focused on population reduction and CWD management areas. So it's a seven-day total. Yep. How long is Ohio's general firing? I don't know. I never lived in Ohio. I think they had a list of like the short ones Ohio might have been nine. I'm just curious. He's curious. That we're in the neighborhood. I know it was constant short. On to the timebreaker. Yeah, jeez Randall. Sorry. Maybe Ohio's just not looking out for these children. Don't we do something before the timebreaker film? Yeah, usually do this. Time for me to know all about this show. This is probably my favorite episode. Okay, big timebreaker question and the category is mule deer, because mule deer are cooler than white tails. You guys ready? Oh yeah. According to the most recent survey data available for Montana fish parks and wildlife. What is Montana's mule deer population? Fish, wildlife and parks. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Same thing. Well, that's a great question. Can I have like an order of back a piece? It's a big number. I'm hoping to make it one less here in a couple weeks. You and a lot of other people. A lot of other people already did make it a little less. Yeah. Hard to count about. The great, great time of year. Brewers one last night. Montana's rifle season is open. Like good time to be alive. And there's a lot more. Brewers fan, huh, Brody? I was just happy to not see the Dodgers in there. - Yeah, that was great. - Plus, Mizorowski, that kid's a bad ass. And he's a big hunter and a fisherman. - Yeah. - Mizorowski, if you're listening, we want to have you on the podcast. You can come play trivia with us too. - There you go. - I think he was in the meat eater store in Milwaukee. - Anyway, I know some of those guys go there. He's also big into Pokemon, Phil. - He wanted to be, his fall back was being a wildlife biologist. - Yeah, good for him. He can hurl it, man. Anyway, what's up, Montana's Mildere population. Most recent numbers, he's shaped like Gumby. He's just, he's lasting. - I'll give you a hint. It's between one and a million. - Ooh. - That was, that's a hint. - Yeah. - All right, no clue. - I remember back when there were more Mildere than people. - Then y'all showed up. (laughing) - Sorry. - How old are you? - 38. - Back in the old days. - I know, that's right, Core, I know what you are. - There wasn't time, there wasn't time. - All right, you guys ready? You got answers? Let's flip them over. Phil, you're gonna have to help. - Oh boy. - It says 65, 155,000. Sarah says 250,000. Randall says 250,000. - What? - Spencer says 220,000. I'm screwed. I did not write a second thing. - Riva says 200,000 and Sarah's not in over. - 155. - Core, he says 799,999. - They good old days. - Okay, why don't Brody, but like, before we announce the number, why don't we say which, like what the situation is? - Yes. - And then have them guess again. - Oh. - Okay, that is an excellent idea. - Wow. - Best idea all day. - Wow, you're pretty smart, man. - I've heard a lot of these. - 'Cause I know I probably should have, but I just didn't. How many do you write for each show, Spencer? Three? - Three. - Mm-hmm. - Did Seth and I tie? - Well, maybe. - Let's look. Can I see all of you guys? - Are we exactly. - Are we exactly, is there halfway? - I find this inconceivable. Seth, what did you write? - 155,000. - No, okay. I'll just say it. Sarah and Randall are the closest and they wrote the same. They wrote the same number. - They have the same number. They're both the closest. So Sarah wasn't in over time. - She's not tied. - So Randall won. - Oh, so Randall won. - Yeah, she should have been. - But she has the next 100 bucks or something, right, Spencer? - Yeah, if you got to write 'em, it's $200. - Well, no, it's gotta be on, they just tie. It's not on the nose. - Oh, oh, oh, oh. - It's so confusing. - Sorry, yeah, Brody, Brody, you gave me too much credit. - It's really coming apart here. - It's the answer. - All right, Randall wins. (laughing) The answer is to Randall, I'm sorry. - I forgot Sarah wasn't in the game. I'm sorry, Sarah. The answer is 273,415 animals. Mild winters in a good spring and good spring precipitation have brought numbers up from the all-time low of 248,500, which was just not that long ago. - All-time low was what? - 248,500, but the mule deer population is still 19% below the long-term average of 309,000 animals. In 2017, the historical peak was recorded at 386,000 animals. So they're coming back from some problems, but we still got some more. - Last winter was a good start for them. - Yep, yep. All right, congratulations Randall. - Way to go Randall. You did it. - I was a job, Randall. - I was flabbergasted that it could have been exactly between 250K and 150K. - I just did that math and I had, yeah. - Oh yeah. - 200K. - He landed that quickly. - 500K. - Let's give this to Mule Fanatics. - There you go. - It went into the mule deer question. - Great, that's a new one. - Yeah. - Sounds good. All right, folks, join us next week for more meaty to trivia. The only game show or conservation always wins. - Good batch of questions, Brody. Well done. - Thank you. - Yeah, started off great. (laughing) - Yeah, Spencer himself Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down. He likes taking those two and three-year-old bucks. (laughing) And he's an avid amateur rock-hound. - Waterfall season is here and to celebrate the meat eater store is running duck blind. A week-long round-up featuring our favorite gear for the blind.
