Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Randall, Seth, Max, Nate, Alyssa, and Omar Lopez. Omar, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.
Associate producer at Meat Eater. What does that mean? He's still figuring it out. He's still figuring it out. It started May 11th, but it seems like almost a glorified travel agent, but loving it.
Oh, okay. Strengths and weaknesses when it comes to meat eater trivia. Hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking. What do you think?
Cooking dead last, hunting first, conservation second. What was the third? Fishing. Fishing, yeah. We'll put fishing third.
In Omar's Slack profile picture, he's got a big old velvet buck.
First one ever.
Oh, okay.
It's in his office, too. It is, but he's broken. He fell off the wall. Happens.
What is MeatEater Trivia and who are the participants?
Were you there when it happened?
No, I was gone, and then my roommate's going to be like, dude, you're going to be pissed, but your deer fell off the wall. And I'm like, no. So he's been broken for like a year, two years almost. But he's got a plan to get it fixed. Yeah, we have a plan. Oh, what's the plan? Hayes.
John Hayes. Oh, dude, I got some bucks I need fixed up, too. What'd you bring? It's a failed taxidermy. Not the fire bucks. You can't get those.
What roles do the participants play in MeatEater?
Well, at least one of the fire bucks.
That looks like an artistic choice. Well, that's the good one. You haven't seen the bad one. Okay. Nate has a deer skull that looks like it was set on fire.
I actually, the other day I wasn't in here and you guys had a DIY taxidermy question. I'm telling him, that dude who wrote in, do maceration. It's You can't mess it up.
That's what Yanni's about these days.
You can mess up boiling. I promise.
Yeah. It is some good evidence of it.
This is a 10 round quiz show with questions.
He boiled it so hard. Turn it. Yeah.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of participants in trivia?
Tell us what happened real quick.
He ran out of water. No, I had a, I had a turkey. What's the, like a turkey fryer. Thank you. And as a 15 minute cutoff, I tried to bypass the 15 minute cutoff because every 15 minutes I was going out there. Ooh. Yep. I remember that. Little government Nate. It didn't work. And so every 15 minutes, I kept going out there. We start a movie. I'm like, this will be the last run. It'll go 15 minutes and be done. Two hours later, I walk out there. It finally bypassed the cutoff. There's no water in the bucket. The bottom's melted out, and there's just flames coming out of the deer skull's eyes. Yeah, and so one of them's fine. I mean, they're both bad. It's a one-of-a-kind mount. Well, there's two of them. One of them's real broke.
So I need it fixed. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meadeater's four verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. We have a mailbag question today. Send your mailbag question to trivia at themeadeater.com if you have something you want the crew to answer. This is from Jesse Vander Hayden. I'm a first-generation hunter, and I'm wondering what is something that the crew enjoys to see while hunting that isn't their intended game animal?
Hmm.
So it has to be an animal? Sunrises. Yeah, sunrises.
There you go. I love hearing owls in the tree stand. That's a good one. I like seeing rare stuff.
Like if you're in Pennsylvania deer hunting, like a fisher comes running by. Or like if you're in Alaska and a wolverine comes running by or something.
Yeah, any small mammals.
You know what I hate? Something that's rare.
Armadillos. Oh. Why do you hate an armadillo?
