Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia, the only game

0:12

show where conservation always wins.

0:14

I'm your host, Spencer new Arthan. Today

0:17

we're joined by Steve, Michael, Keith,

0:19

Mary Claire, Cody Logan

0:21

and Brad. This is normally a ten

0:23

round quiz show with questions from Meat Eater's

0:26

four verticals, but today, because

0:28

we're at the First Light store in Hayley,

0:30

we're bringing back the meat pole game. This

0:32

is a test of how much you know about

0:35

your fellow hunters and anglers. Now. I have

0:37

some high hopes for some of our First Light players

0:39

today, especially those that deal with customers all

0:42

the time. You should be really in tune

0:45

with what Meat Eater listeners you know, have

0:47

going on in their world. Keith,

0:49

you feel okay about you know your customers?

0:51

He asks them what they think about Bigfoot?

0:54

Keith, do you you know they just want to tell

0:56

me all about it?

0:57

Honestly?

0:58

Yeah.

0:59

Cody's a big the connoisseurly group.

1:01

Really yeah, I mean I don't I don't

1:03

remember how it happened, but it did happen. Ended

1:06

up talking for forty five minutes, not doing any

1:08

work, but talk about Bigfoot on the phone

1:10

with the customer. Okay.

1:11

In the end, he's like, do you have these XXXXL.

1:17

That's a kind of customer service you'll get here

1:19

at first light. You called to ask

1:21

about the uncompagred

1:24

jacket, and Cody might entertain

1:26

you for forty five minutes with bigfoot

1:28

story.

1:29

Yeah, I'm your guy. Absolutely. What's

1:31

the biggest sock you make? Now?

1:34

But between games, we just finished another game.

1:36

The Logan and Claire smack talk has

1:39

continued. Claire declared Logan

1:41

that you were condescending when you guys play

1:43

trivia together, so it was very satisfying for her

1:45

to beat you that last game. I would agree with

1:47

that, okay.

1:49

I would also like to point out that when

1:51

this new format aired

1:53

a couple of weeks ago, she didn't

1:55

like it at all.

1:56

People don't like it.

1:57

But as you were explaining the rules, she was nodding,

1:59

and I think she's h

2:02

wow, the uh.

2:04

The Claire and Logan rivalry continues.

2:07

Yeah, people don't like the format

2:10

right still, because you haven't fine tuned it yet.

2:13

I wouldn't say that you've addressed my primary

2:15

problem. Yeah, okay.

2:17

And then the scoring is did you fix that? Is it

2:19

not so complicated?

2:20

We simplified this scoring as

2:22

well, and you know, UH

2:24

people are going to have to like it because this is what we're going

2:27

to do on the live tour that's right up this spring.

2:29

If you're coming to the Live Tour UH and

2:31

you are part of the audience, you are going to be part

2:33

of the group that has surveyed that night. So

2:35

we're going to bring this similar concept UH

2:38

to each city and we're going to learn about

2:40

those folks that are sitting in those

2:42

chairs and what their personal experiences

2:45

and personal tastes are when it comes to the

2:47

outdoors.

2:47

Yeah, meaning when you come in, when

2:49

you come into the live shows, not run through the dates a

2:51

minute. When you come into the live shows, there's going to be a code,

2:54

right mm hmm. There's a code you hit on your

2:56

phone, so

2:58

every you can, we can survey every person

3:00

there. It's not like Spencer has to go talk to them

3:02

all out in front of the big

3:04

Foot booth. I'm

3:07

joking when I have a big Foot booth there, but that

3:10

was an inside joke. Anyways, you can hit a code

3:12

and take a survey. So when we play the survey

3:14

game, when the audience plays the survey

3:16

game at the end, of the show, you're being

3:18

surveyed about the people next to you.

3:20

Yeah, like people here tonight?

3:22

What percent of people here tonight? Blank?

3:25

Yeah.

3:25

We'll see what Steve thinks about our audience

3:27

at each show. Maybe it'll be insulting,

3:30

maybe maybe he'll be very flattering.

3:32

Yeah, but I'll be You'll you'll be able to look

3:34

around you and be like, I don't know what the hell these people think,

3:37

And that's how the survey show will go. Can

3:39

I hit the dates? Yeah, We'll

3:41

be doing this Masa Arizona,

3:44

which is one of those places where it's like it's I mean, it's

3:47

4:58

So we're bringing this game to you,

5:00

guys. There's other parts of the show real well,

5:03

there'll be a lot going on. This is three ring circus,

5:05

one of those elements. Sometimes it feels

5:07

like more rings just three. Are

5:09

we getting that Tuesday?

5:11

We're getting that Tuesday off to come see the show.

5:13

Yes, you hear this.

5:16

Clay can't go back on that now.

5:18

Clay nukeomb who's going to every show. He's

5:20

bringing his guitar and he's gonna on

5:22

the last leg of the tour. Chester

5:25

the Divester I almost did

5:27

his old I still have him in my phone as I don't

5:29

even want to say it. My kids are. I was like,

5:31

what's a a person that messes

5:33

everything up? But Chester

5:39

the Divester, Chester the Midwester.

5:43

I think that's what he is right now, because he

5:45

was Chester the Investor when he got into bitcoine.

5:48

He was Chester the divester when he got out of Bitcoin.

5:51

Now he's Chester the Midwester. He did

5:53

the opening act that the last leg, but Clay

5:56

himself is getting up and singing a tune every

5:58

night for the new tour Be Special.

6:00

Now here's how this game works.

6:02

I serve a six hundred meat Eater

6:05

listeners and ask them questions about personal

6:07

experiences and personal preferences.

6:09

Your job is to predict their answers. There

6:12

will be one round per player, with a bonus round

6:14

at the end. Each player will take a turn as

6:16

the guesser. When it's your turn to be the guesser,

6:19

you'll answer a question that's related

6:21

to my polling data. All answers

6:23

are in the form of percentages

6:25

guess. After the guesser

6:27

has provided their number, our

6:29

other players will predict if the real answer

6:32

is higher or lower. The guesser will receive

6:34

points based on how close they get to

6:36

the real answer, and the other players will

6:38

receive points based on if they correctly choose

6:41

higher or lower. See if you're the only

6:43

one who's done this before. Do you have any tips for

6:45

your competitors?

6:46

I got a tip for you. Okay, I

6:48

think that all players should write down the number

6:51

they think it is.

6:52

We'll try that at someone today. Today

6:54

we're doing the the higher or lower

6:56

version. Now, before we play, we'll do a practice

6:59

round to make sure every everyone is comfortable

7:01

with the format. For the practice round, Steve is

7:03

going to be the guest. Or That means Steve will

7:05

provide an answer, and after he's done

7:07

so everyone else will predict if the

7:09

real answer is higher or lower

7:12

than Steve's answer. Steve, what

7:14

percentage of Americans have

7:16

called the police because of a neighbor?

7:19

This wasn't part of my polling. This is some Pew

7:21

research. So it's what percentage

7:23

of Americans have called the police

7:26

because of a neighbor? Think

7:30

out loud here have you? Have you

7:32

ever called the police?

7:36

I don't

7:38

want to tell it right now. I will tell you crazy

7:41

ass story about calling the police.

7:43

Okay, you're

7:46

not going to do it now?

7:50

The police? Well,

7:52

I don't know two police

7:54

callings. It's it's the wildest story,

8:00

but I want to tell it on the air. Huh, My

8:02

guest is gonna be thirty because people live a

8:04

long time.

8:05

Uh huh, So Steve's answer

8:07

is thirty. Now, everyone else you need to think about

8:09

if the real answer is higher

8:12

or lower than that, Like.

8:14

My neighbors are making too much noise, my neighbors

8:16

are fighting out in the street.

8:17

Sure, parked in the wrong spot?

8:19

Good?

8:19

Good, thirty thing thirty is

8:21

everyone nexteen? Now, if you think

8:23

it's higher than that, you'll raise the green paddle,

8:25

And if you think it's lower than that, you'll let raise

8:28

the red past sixteen? Is everybody ready

8:30

raise your paddles? We have

8:33

Brad going higher higher, higher,

8:35

lower, higher, higher higher. The

8:37

real answer is twenty three percent,

8:40

So only.

8:40

I want to stick to my original answer at thirty.

8:43

Okay, so Steve, yeah,

8:49

mm hmm.

8:50

Now I want to tell my story so bad dude

8:53

us?

8:54

Is it a time issue? Is it like a legality?

8:56

Issuety kids might

8:58

hear this.

8:58

Sensitivity is okay, okay, our

9:01

audience is timilated. But there's there's no

9:03

payoff here. Steve is not. He's not going

9:06

to tell you the story.

9:11

Maybe maybe in Missoula. There's

9:16

your teas. Buy a ticket to the Missoula

9:18

show. Now the scoring will

9:21

be in the description of this episode. You can refer

9:23

to that, but if you're right on the nose, you'd get

9:25

twenty points. If you're five off, you're fifteen

9:27

ten off ten points, and if you correctly

9:29

predict higher lower, you get five points. Now, before

9:32

we get started, let's talk a bit of strategy.

9:34

As a reminder, this is polling data of

9:36

my survey from six hundred meat Eater

9:38

listeners. These are not just some yahoo's outside

9:41

of a kenocious sears. Next, your best

9:43

opportunity to score points is

9:45

by doing a great job when you're the guesser. You

9:47

can earn up to twenty points as the guesser. Well,

9:50

everyone else can only get five points by

9:52

correctly answering higher or lower.

9:54

So your one opportunity as the guesser

9:57

is very important. And just like with

9:59

every other episode of med Eater Trivia,

10:01

there's five hundred dollars on the line. Our

10:03

winner will get to choose where the five hundred

10:05

dollars donation goes.

10:06

It's everybody ready, Yeah, I got a

10:08

little thing for you.

10:09

Okay, let's hear it.

10:12

Is it in golf. You're trying to get a low score, that's

10:14

right, So

10:16

if you do what I'm saying, everybody

10:21

picks the number, but

10:23

you're you're chasing a low score. There

10:27

you go, so your number off from

10:29

reality.

10:29

Stars onto something we're

10:32

working out for life to today we're doing the ping

10:34

pong battles, play the drop, Phil,

10:39

Look, I need to know what I

10:41

stand to win everything?

10:44

How's say, just tend to win everything?

10:53

Game on Suckers. Question

10:56

one, this will be for Brad. Brad, what

10:58

percentage of ag said they've

11:01

lied about the size of a fish before?

11:03

Oh man, the question was,

11:06

have you ever lied about the size of a fish? They

11:08

had to say yes or no? So what percentage

11:10

of anglers said they've lied about

11:12

the size of a fish before?

11:15

I mean, I feel like everyone's

11:17

guilty of exaggerating a

11:20

little bit.

11:20

Okay, is that yourself included? You're saying,

11:23

I.

11:23

Just think every fisherman you know, you don't any

11:25

fishermen admit it?

11:27

Yeah, that's there's an interesting honesty

11:29

play here.

11:31

I'm assuming that these people are gonna be

11:33

honest here with Spencer's pot, it's

11:36

anymous there.

11:36

It is anonymous when they're answering said that they're

11:39

just lying to themselves.

11:42

What your kids answer.

11:43

A lot every

11:47

time? He looks in the water. It's

11:50

like, you see, are you sure? Because

11:52

I just looked down there too.

11:55

So Brad, what percentage of anglers

11:58

said they've lied about the size of

12:00

a fish before?

12:01

I'm gonna go relatively high.

12:02

I'm gonna say like eighty five percent.

12:04

Eighty five percent. Everyone else

12:06

will now decide if the real answer is

12:09

higher or lower than eighty

12:11

five percent. Is everybody

12:13

ready raise your

12:15

paddles? We have Claire saying

12:18

higher, Mary saying lower, Michael

12:20

saying lower, Cody saying higher,

12:22

Logan saying higher, Keith

12:25

saying lower, Steve saying lower. The

12:27

correct answer was forty

12:29

two percent.

12:30

They're lying, They're

12:34

lying to themselves. On you're

12:37

interviewing compulsive liars.

12:41

That's a good baseline question to start with.

12:43

There you go.

12:44

According to a twenty twenty three

12:46

survey of American adults, the average

12:48

person lies two times per day.

12:51

The study found that about forty percent

12:53

of people lie on their resumes and

12:55

ninety percent of people lie in their dating profile.

12:58

The worst offenders of all, though, are

13:00

politicians, who were shown to lie once every

13:03

five minutes during a debate, and

13:05

fishermen and fishermen they even

13:08

lie about their.

13:08

Lies how do you lie in your dating profile? You're like,

13:11

like, you don't actually like long walks

13:13

on the beach.

13:16

Who has a dating profile in here right now?

13:18

No one.

13:18

No one's admitting it. Okay,

13:24

I'm on Hinge, fine me, you're

13:27

in Hay. You can find Cody

13:30

on Hinge. Hinge. You

13:32

lie? How would you lie

13:34

about your profile?

13:36

I don't lie on my profile?

13:37

Oh he doesn't lie, Okay,

13:43

I got I got some dog photos on there, though.

13:45

You don't do fish pictures because I've

13:47

been told you want to do like, uh,

13:50

you kind of chilling and then you're doing what you love

13:54

you But

13:56

but I got married before this was even the thing, so I

13:58

got no, I never.

14:00

Do my best.

14:00

I don't even know I'm either Okay.

14:02

The fish pick is divisive though,

14:05

Like you know, there are like two trains

14:07

of thought.

14:07

It's like you have it out there.

14:09

So then the girl just like knows what you are.

14:12

And then there's a liar.

14:14

Yeah yeah,

14:16

yeah, you lie about the size of the fish in

14:18

your fish picture.

14:19

Yeah. Then later when you do get together and

14:21

you're in trouble for fishing all the time, you like, dude,

14:25

you back to my profile exactly.

14:28

It was all me fishing. That

14:30

was just a that was just a representation of what

14:33

I do as advertised.

14:34

When you come to Haley, then you come to the first

14:36

Light store, and then you also download hinge

14:39

and you'll find Cody there with his fish

14:41

dog pictures.

14:42

But they like it's

14:44

just it's under your name.

14:47

You put like you put like

14:50

like your your mileage where you want to like travel

14:53

to. I'm around like fifteen

14:55

miles. So okay,

14:58

that was Question

15:02

two is for Claire. Claire,

15:04

what percentage of out doorsman said they'd

15:06

rather own thirty acres of water

15:09

instead of ten acres of land? Oh?

15:14

What percentage of out doorsman said

15:16

they'd rather own thirty acres

15:18

of water instead of ten acres

15:21

of land? Think out loud here, Claire, which

15:23

one of those would you pick? Thirty acres of water ten

15:25

acres of land?

15:26

I would pick ten acres of land. But I'm not a

15:28

big I mean, if you own thirty

15:30

acres of water, you're

15:33

like you have your own little lake, and

15:36

thirty, I mean thirty acres is pretty big. You

15:38

can have a boat on that.

15:40

So what percentage of out doorsman said

15:42

they'd rather own thirty acres of water

15:45

instead of ten acres of land.

15:46

I think it's probably big with our audience

15:49

because our audience is a lot of lake fishermen.

15:51

I'm not a big lake fisherman, so I

15:54

would not pick this myself. But

15:56

it's higher than fifty percent, so I'm gonna go with

15:58

like seventy two

16:00

percent.

16:01

Okay, Claire's saying seventy two percent.

16:04

Seventy two percent of outdoorsmen would

16:07

rather own thirty acres of water instead

16:09

of ten acres of land. Does everybody

16:11

have their paddle ready? Go ahead

16:13

and raise your panels when Mary saying lower,

16:15

Michael's saying lower, everybody

16:19

is saying lower. Everybody was right.

16:21

The correct answer was nineteen

16:23

percent. Damn, nineteen

16:25

percent would rather have the thirty acres

16:28

of water instead of the ten acres

16:30

of land. According to data from Texas,

16:32

the average price of an acre of land

16:34

is two thousand, five hundred dollars,

16:37

while the average price of an acre of surface

16:39

water is four thousand, five hundred dollars.

16:42

That means, in Texas, the thirty acre lake

16:44

would be worth about one hundred thousand dollars

16:46

more than the ten acres of land.

16:49

So, I mean, economically, if

16:51

you're sure, we're paying

16:54

that much more for.

16:56

Well, how many private thirty acre lakes are out

16:58

there? How many?

16:59

Then you're talking about down there. You're talking about some boetal

17:02

shortline too, man.

17:03

Some more folks want the ten acres of land

17:05

though. Question three, this is for Mary,

17:08

Mary. What percentage of outdoorsmen

17:11

said they're currently subscribed to

17:13

an outdoor magazine? Are

17:17

you subscribed to any outdoor magazines?

17:19

I don't need to. My husband

17:21

has a magazine collection that is

17:23

epic.

17:24

Really, what does he subscribe to?

17:26

Oh, all the hunting magazines.

17:29

Little cards that fall out of the magazines he just

17:31

finds.

17:32

Can I say this, he's a magazine whore?

17:35

Okay, you did so,

17:41

Mary.

17:41

What percentage of outdoorsmen said

17:44

they're currently subscribed to an

17:46

outdoor magazine?

17:48

I'm going to say sixty five percent?

17:50

Sixty five percent? Everyone

17:53

else, you have your paddles ready, raise

17:55

your paddle subscribed? Everybody

17:59

is what are you going with Logan? Everyone is

18:01

saying lower, except for Logan is

18:03

saying higher. The correct

18:05

answer is thirty eight

18:08

percent. So everybody

18:10

except Logan got that one right.

18:13

A twenty seventeen study found that

18:15

forty one percent of American adults

18:17

are subscribed to a newspaper or

18:20

magazine, and a twenty twenty three study

18:22

found that there are now more magazines today

18:24

than ever before, despite readership

18:27

being at an all time low.

18:28

H I want to get a cross draw

18:31

bandlier for these paddles. There

18:33

you go, they sit like

18:35

that dude and bow the buster scrugs. Who

18:37

wears his pistols real high?

18:39

Maybe maybe we should like have a gear company

18:41

that can make that kind of thing. Paddle

18:44

holder for Steve. One of the question

18:46

four, This is for Michael. Michael,

18:48

what percentage about doorsman said

18:50

they'd rather own a knife that never

18:53

dulls instead of waiters that

18:55

never leak? Hmmm, So

18:58

you get two choices. You could either have a

19:00

knife that never dolls or waiters that

19:02

never leak. What percentage of outdoorsman

19:04

said they'd rather own the knife instead

19:07

of the waiters? Which one would you pick?

19:10

Oh?

19:10

Come on, I go knife.

19:14

Listen, sharpen to knife. There's a

19:16

lot quicker than past your waiters.

19:19

Yeah, but I'm also thinking like how many people are actually

19:21

running waiters?

19:22

Right?

19:22

So of the six hundred, Well.

19:24

Yeah, but you're not doing what you want. You're

19:26

supposed to be thinking about what they want. Yeah,

19:29

yeah, but what about the people they use? Waiters?

19:31

Yeah, six hundred listeners

19:33

were surveyed for this, and they were asked

19:35

if they'd rather have the knife that never.

19:37

Dolls white

19:39

tail hunters. Right, they're not using waiters, So

19:42

I'm gonna go sixty seven percent.

19:44

He's saying sixty seven percent would

19:46

rather have the knife that never dolls instead

19:49

of the waiters that never leak. It's

19:51

everybody with their paddles. Ready, go

19:54

ahead and raise your paddles. We have Cody

19:56

saying lower, Logan saying lower, Keep

19:59

saying higher, Steve saying lower,

20:01

Brad saying higher, Claire and

20:03

Mary saying lower. The

20:06

correct answer is sixty

20:08

nine percent. You were only two percent

20:11

off. That is our best guess.

20:13

Yet I wasn't gonna say sixty nine I felt like

20:15

it wasn't

20:18

appropriate, so I dull it down too.

20:19

For being within five points. Then you will

20:21

get fifteen points. Well done,

20:24

Michael, Steve, you're still convinced that you'd

20:26

rather have the waiters than never leak though.

20:29

You're a beaver trapper though, Oh yeah, because I like

20:31

sharpening knives, I hate fixing waiters.

20:34

According to a twenty twenty three study,

20:36

Americans are the most obsessive

20:38

about sharp knives. It found

20:40

that the United States has thirty five percent

20:43

of the global knife sharpening market,

20:45

with the number expected to a rise in the coming

20:47

years. They said the key factors in America's

20:50

knife sharpening interests are the popularity

20:52

of cooking shows and the increase

20:54

of preparing meals at home during

20:56

the pandemic. So sixty nine percent would

20:58

rather have the knife never doles

21:01

now. As a reminder, Steve

21:03

had noticed in the past that in

21:06

this game it seemed like an inverse the

21:08

leader board than a typical game of meat

21:10

eater trivia. Right, because Karin

21:13

took a thorough victory the first

21:15

time we played this.

21:16

Yep, she can't play trivia.

21:19

Well she can, but yeah,

21:22

Krin's shaking her head. Not as well, Phil,

21:26

give us a leader board update.

21:30

All right.

21:30

We have got Logan and Claire with

21:32

five points a piece. Coming

21:36

up next our Cody and Mary, who have

21:38

ten. We've got Steve

21:40

and Brad with fifteen,

21:43

Keith with twenty. In first

21:45

place is Michael. He's got thirty

21:47

points.

21:48

Well done, Michael. We

21:59

are up to Cody. Now, Cody,

22:02

what percentage of dog owners

22:04

said their dog is actually

22:06

their best friend. Are you

22:08

a dog owner?

22:09

I am? Yeah?

22:10

Okay? Is your dog your best friend?

22:12

Absolutely?

22:13

Okay? So what percentage of dog

22:15

owners said their dog is

22:18

actually their best friend? Eighty

22:24

seven? Eighty seven percent.

22:28

Every dog owner out there basically says

22:30

their dog is their best friend?

22:32

All right?

22:32

Is everybody else ready with their paddles? Raise

22:35

your paddles, we have lower. Lower,

22:38

lower. Everybody says lower. Everybody

22:40

was right. The correct answer

22:42

was forty seven percent.

22:44

Not looking good for dogs, forty.

22:48

Seven percent of dog owners said their dog

22:50

is actually their best friend. A twenty twenty

22:52

two survey found that sixty nine percent

22:55

of people say their dog is their best friend,

22:57

meaning out doorsmen are less likely than

22:59

the average American to consider their

23:01

dog their best friend.

23:02

Because there's a there's a thing you're measuring there,

23:07

I mean, because they're looking for performance in a specific

23:09

pursuit. Keep

23:12

going well, Just the dog has

23:14

more chances to fail if the dog's only job is to hang

23:16

around. If the dog's job is to hang around

23:18

the house, how can it screw that up?

23:20

Interesting point, Steve, But it's still got to be their

23:22

best friend.

23:23

But you're gonna take it out. It's gonna piss you

23:25

off, You're gonna not like it anymore.

23:27

Maybe the dog or just home.

23:29

Okay, maybe he's not gonna piss anybody off.

23:31

Maybe the bond is stronger with outdoors. Apparently

23:33

not, though the survey shows that I'm just.

23:35

Going by it. I'm just now that I know the number, I'm

23:37

trying to think my way into it.

23:39

That same survey found that seventy two

23:41

percent of Americans say bringing home

23:43

their dog was one of the best days of their

23:45

life, and that forty two percent of Americans

23:47

say their dog goes to the salon

23:50

more than they do. Who else

23:52

is dog owner in here? Are your dogs

23:54

your best friends? Would you say if you had to say yes

23:56

or no?

23:57

But I think the way that that question was worded,

23:59

like if someone asked me, is your dog your best

24:01

friend?

24:03

And then if they said, think about it, is.

24:05

Your dog really your best friend? I might

24:08

start to feel bad about it.

24:09

It was worded, is it actually

24:11

your best friend?

24:12

Mary?

24:12

Michael? Is your dog your best friend?

24:16

Yeah?

24:17

But I think that people don't want to if they don't

24:19

have friends human friends.

24:20

Okay, Michael

24:23

has found a much deeper level to

24:26

the game. I think if I owned your dog Michael,

24:28

that'd be my best friend as well, one of the

24:30

best behave pups rough

24:32

to Logan, Logan, this is question six. What

24:35

percentage about doorsman said they'd rather

24:37

eat a rare burger instead

24:39

of a well done burger? So

24:42

they were given two choices, would you rather

24:44

eat a rare burger or would you rather

24:47

eat a well done burger? What percentage about

24:49

doorsman said they'd rather eat a

24:51

rare burger instead of a well

24:53

done burger? Which

24:55

one would you choose?

24:58

I was always taught that you need

25:00

to be safe with burger and like

25:03

medium at at the least right, make

25:05

sure that anything on the insides.

25:07

Literally just had an argument about this.

25:10

Okay, this rival goes

25:12

much deeper than I thought.

25:15

Sat you down.

25:16

I think I feel like it was showcounter

25:20

burgers, Claire

25:23

Logan.

25:23

What was the argument you two just had about.

25:26

Uncomfortable situations where friends are

25:28

trying to get rare

25:30

burgers. Someone want you to remember

25:33

just say no.

25:35

Someone may have felt that my Elk burgers

25:37

were a little overdone, okay? And was

25:39

it?

25:41

Oh?

25:41

It was Claire, okay, And

25:44

your response was what they were perfect,

25:47

just how you're supposed to go. Himan,

25:49

what percentage about doorsman said they'd

25:51

rather eat a rare burger instead

25:54

of a well done burger.

25:55

I'm going to say fifty four percent rather

25:58

rare burger than the well.

26:01

Done fifty four percent. Are

26:03

other players ready raizor

26:06

paddles? We have Keith saying

26:08

hier, Steve saying higher, Brad saying

26:10

lower, Claire saying higher, Mary,

26:13

and Michael and Cody

26:15

saying lower. The correct

26:18

answer it's fifty six

26:20

percent well done logan

26:22

only two points off. So

26:25

everyone who said higher got that

26:27

one right. A twenty nineteen

26:29

Yugov study found that well

26:31

done is the preferred way to eat

26:34

burgers. Their survey of twelve hundred

26:36

Americans found that forty percent prefer

26:38

a well done burger, with twenty percent

26:40

choosing medium well and seventeen percent

26:43

choosing medium. They also found that

26:45

women are about twenty percent more

26:47

likely to order a well done burger

26:49

than men.

26:50

Did they do that?

26:51

Is that?

26:51

Does that have the political demographics like the

26:53

state one does?

26:54

Yeah, so we talked about that before. With stake

26:57

done this it showed that Republicans are more

26:59

likely to order rare and Democrats

27:01

are more likely to order well done than

27:04

vice versa. We

27:06

are on to question seven.

27:08

This is for Keith and we will get a scoreboard

27:10

update after this. Keith, what

27:13

percentage of anglers said they

27:15

think they're a better angler than the

27:17

average angler?

27:20

And just another.

27:24

So, what percentage of anglers said

27:26

they think they're a better angler than

27:28

the average angler? And the question to be clear,

27:30

it said, do you think you're a better angler than

27:33

the average angler? So what percentage

27:35

of them said?

27:36

Yes?

27:37

You gotta vote with the angler on this

27:39

one. I think I'm thinking like seventy two percent think

27:41

they're better than most anglers.

27:43

Seventy two percent of anglers as them,

27:45

do you identify as an angler?

27:47

Yes, it's for anglers only. And then it

27:49

says, do you think you're a better angler

27:51

than the average angler? And Keith,

27:54

what was your answer? Sev seventy two

27:56

percent? Is everybody

27:58

else ready go ahead

28:00

and raise your panels. We have Stee saying lower, Brad

28:02

saying higher, Claire, Mary

28:05

and Michael saying lower, Cody

28:08

and Logan saying lower as well.

28:10

The correct answer was

28:12

forty two percent, So everyone

28:14

who said lower got that one right.

28:17

Show that that was a pretty honest group. Only forty

28:19

two percent of them thought they were a better angler

28:22

than the average angler.

28:23

Must have been a different group from my questions, right,

28:26

Yeah, dude, I'm definitely better than the average.

28:29

Now what twenty eighteen study asked three

28:32

thousand Americans if they think they're smarter

28:34

than the average American. They

28:36

found that sixty five percent of people

28:39

think they're smarter than average, with

28:41

men more likely than women to have that

28:43

belief. The researchers concluded

28:45

that quote the tendency to

28:47

overrate one's abilities may be a

28:50

staple feature of human psychology.

28:55

That's right, So six sixty

28:57

five percent of people think they're smarter than

29:00

the average person.

29:02

They should come on and play med Eater trivia real

29:04

quick.

29:05

Phil, give us a scoreboard update. We

29:07

have one question left, which will be for

29:09

Steve, and then we get to the bonus

29:12

round.

29:12

Sure thanking, Cody has fifteen points,

29:15

Brad, Claire and Mary I'll have twenty points,

29:17

apiece, Logan, Keith and

29:19

Steve have thirty points, and in first place

29:21

is Michael. He's got forty points. Now Michael

29:25

and first Steve.

29:26

Here's your chance to pick up some ground.

29:29

What percentage of hunters said

29:31

they'd rather have a bull elk tag for

29:33

Yellowstone National Park? Instead

29:35

of ten thousand dollars. So

29:39

they were given the choice for those two things, said,

29:42

you can either have a bull Elk tag for Yellowstone

29:45

or ten thousand dollars. What percentage

29:48

of those hunters said they'd rather have

29:50

that bull Elk tag.

29:53

Well, we need these boards, do you

29:58

you will?

29:58

For the next question, unprepared

30:00

to Steve, which one of those would

30:02

you choose? The bull out tag for Yellowstone

30:04

or the ten thousand dollars.

30:13

I would really want the bulltag, but symbolically

30:15

because I just don't like national parks

30:19

because you can't hunt them. So I

30:22

think there should be like very limited hunting like

30:24

the Yellowstone supertag. Sure, so

30:28

for that symbolic victory, I would want to do

30:30

it. I think what most people would think, because I

30:32

don't think most people would pay ten grand to go Elk

30:34

hunt.

30:35

Well, you're not getting paid that amount.

30:37

You either choose would pay for sure,

30:39

And when you're essentially doing that, you're

30:42

taking the option to have ten grand, you're like

30:45

basically handing the ten grand over. But

30:47

I'm still gonna say eighty eighty

30:50

seventy.

30:52

Now, what happened there was Steve said

30:55

eighty I think we had Michael, who could and

30:58

then see immediately lowered it.

31:01

You could go with my original.

31:02

No, no, whatever you like. Does anyone

31:04

else want to try to change Steve's answers?

31:07

No? I didn't change it because of that, just saying

31:09

it, saying it, maybe think about it.

31:11

Okay, So Steve is saying seventy

31:13

per seventy seventy percent. Has everybody

31:15

ready raise your paddles?

31:18

We have brand saying lower, lower,

31:20

lower, lower. Everybody says lower except

31:22

for Keith. Keith says higher. The correct

31:25

answer was fifty

31:27

eight percent, So everybody

31:29

except for Keith got that one right.

31:31

Does that? Do you mean you good on getting points? No?

31:33

You gotta be within ten. Oh, it's not good

31:35

enough. Elk get poached in Yellowstone

31:38

more than you'd think. I found seven cases

31:41

of elk poaching in park boundaries since

31:43

nineteen eighty seven. All but one of those

31:45

cases was solved, with the other six ending

31:47

with fines, restitution fees, and jail

31:50

time. The biggest fine was given to

31:52

two men from Arkansas and Alabama

31:54

who filmed themselves calling in bowls

31:56

and Yellowstone and killing them with their bow.

31:59

They were each fined fifteen thousand dollars

32:01

and sentenced to eighteen months in jail.

32:03

But here's how don't listen, man, here's

32:06

the deal. I would

32:08

have you go find out how

32:10

many of those were within a couple hundred yards

32:13

of ill defined boys.

32:14

A few of them were, and then other ones. You'd be surprised

32:17

right off a main road in Deep and

32:19

Yellowstone got it.

32:21

Because that's a I'm not saying they're

32:23

I mean they're wrong, like you need to write your

32:25

responsibility. It's as wrong as anything understanding

32:28

you can be in places where you

32:30

can be in you can lose

32:33

touch of the sure boundary.

32:34

Fifty eight percent would rather have that bull

32:37

out tag Phil. Can you give us one more scoreboard

32:39

update before we do the bonus round.

32:41

Yeah, we've got Cody with twenty, Keith

32:44

and Steve have thirty. Oh

32:46

sorry I skipped. I'm going out out of order here.

32:48

Sorry guys, Brad, Claire and Mary, I'll have twenty

32:50

five points a piece, Logan has thirty five, Michael

32:53

still in first with forty five.

32:54

Now now question nine are bonus question.

32:57

There's a lot of opportunity to pick up

32:59

ground here, so you could go from last place to

33:01

first place real quick. You'll need

33:03

you will need your whiteboards and your markers

33:06

for this one. Here's how the bonus round

33:08

works. I asked six hundred

33:10

hunters for them to rank these states

33:13

in order of who has the best deer

33:15

hunters to the worst deer hunters.

33:17

You need to place them. I asked

33:19

them to rank these from best deer hunters

33:21

to worst deer hunters these different

33:23

states, so we'll get there. You need

33:25

to place these in the correct order. For every one

33:28

of these you get right, you'll receive five points.

33:30

That means the final round is worth twenty

33:32

five points. So you need to rank these

33:34

states in order of who hunters said

33:37

have the best deer hunters to the worst

33:39

deer hunters. Here are your five states, Pennsylvania,

33:43

Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri,

33:46

Michigan. And I chose these five states

33:49

because these are the five states that

33:51

harvest the most deer in America.

33:53

So our six hundred people surveyed were

33:56

asked to rank these in order

33:58

of who has the best deer hunters to

34:00

who has the worst deer hunters. The

34:02

five states again are Pennsylvania,

34:05

Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri,

34:09

and Michigan. For every

34:11

one of these you get right, you'll get

34:13

five points. Five

34:16

states that kill

34:19

the most deer in America, Pennsylvania,

34:21

Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri,

34:24

and Michigan. Steve, how do you feel

34:26

about your answer? I think you're the first thing.

34:30

To be frank.

34:33

This was from that same survey

34:36

of six hundred meat eater listeners.

34:42

Is everybody ready?

34:46

Brad good? Yeah,

34:48

I just had to Okay, Logan yep,

34:51

Cody, We good, Michael, everyone's ready.

34:55

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We

34:57

have Brad saying one Wisconsin,

35:00

two, Missouri, three, Pennsylvania, four,

35:02

Michigan, five, Texas. Claire

35:05

saying Michigan, Wisconsin,

35:07

Pennsylvania, Missis, Missouri,

35:10

Texas, Mary saying

35:13

one Wisconsin, two,

35:15

Texas, three, Michigan,

35:18

four, Missouri, five, Pennsylvania.

35:21

Anyone outside of Texas is going to

35:23

put Texas as five, Michael,

35:27

anybody?

35:28

Michael saying Wisconsin, one,

35:31

Missouri, two, Pennsylvania,

35:33

three, Michigan, four, Texas

35:36

five. Cody saying

35:39

one Wisconsin, two, Pennsylvania,

35:42

three, Texas, four, Missouri,

35:44

five, Michigan. Logan

35:46

sang Missouri, Wisconsin,

35:49

Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas,

35:52

Keith saying Pennsylvania, Texas,

35:55

Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri.

35:57

Steve who declared he's going to do well on this,

36:00

he says, Missouri one, Pennsylvania

36:02

two, Wisconsin three, Michigan

36:05

four, Texas five. Now, Steve,

36:08

say again what you're saying about Texas.

36:10

Did anyone you called who's not in Texas

36:13

is going to put Texas as number five?

36:15

Here are the answers number

36:17

one, Wisconsin number

36:20

two, Michigan number

36:23

three, Pennsylvania number

36:25

four, Missouri number five

36:27

Texas. We're

36:29

gonna give Phil a second to update

36:32

the leader board. Wisconsin was

36:34

overwhelmingly voted the state with

36:36

the best deer hunters, while Texas

36:38

was overwhelmingly voted the state

36:40

with the worst deer hunters. Michigan,

36:42

Pennsylvania, and Missouri were all in a close

36:45

race for second. Here's some interesting takeaways.

36:47

Texas received more last place

36:49

votes than the other four states

36:51

combined. Wisconsin received

36:54

thirty five percent of all first place

36:56

votes, and Pennsylvania was the most polarizing

36:58

state with it recis e being the second most

37:01

first place votes and the second most

37:03

last place votes. Does that check out? Steve?

37:06

Well, just goes to show that was on everything.

37:09

Okay, that's right. That is Steve's

37:11

takeaway. Phil, give

37:14

us our final scoreboard update.

37:16

Surely, Well, we've got Cody,

37:18

Keith and Steve all with thirty points,

37:21

Mary has thirty five, Brad

37:23

and Clair have forty, Logan has forty

37:25

five, and in first place, he's got sixty points

37:31

victory from.

37:32

Michael Man just

37:34

so fall

37:36

victory.

37:37

Let's get Michael a microphone over here.

37:39

Mike, Uh, how do you know so much about

37:41

your fellow hunters and Anglers?

37:45

I don't know. It just kind of went like a bit more logical,

37:47

I think, well.

37:48

A bit more logical than the other seven players.

37:50

Yea, yeah, arguably.

37:52

I mean, you know, these Michiganers,

37:54

you know, the mistake across the lake, as we refer to

37:57

him from Wisconsin. Yeah, you know, they

37:59

think they're they're good.

38:00

You didn't pull people outside of seers in Kenosha?

38:05

Did you thought that was a red herring? I thought it actually was

38:07

people in Kenosha?

38:08

So, Michael, did you put Wisconsin?

38:10

Is one? Sure?

38:11

Did? Where did you put Michigan? At number four?

38:13

Okay? Number four? He wasn't going with

38:15

logic there. He just wanted to insult the

38:17

Michiganders in the room with that one.

38:19

Yeah.

38:19

Well, I don't know, I kind of want you know, that was a tough

38:21

one because I almost to get it done. Arguably,

38:24

in Michigan, I feel like would be a lot more

38:26

difficult to harvest the deer, to

38:28

be honest, because of the hunter percentage.

38:31

But then you know, Pennsylvania

38:33

people, they you know, they really think highly of themselves.

38:36

And I like thought, all right, how many people

38:38

in Pennsylvania were on the survey, But

38:40

then I really got worried if it was more people in

38:43

Texas on the survey, right, because it's like,

38:45

at to Steve's point, you put them at put themselves

38:47

at number one.

38:48

Yeah.

38:48

I feel like some of the Texas people, if you get them anonymously,

38:51

they'll admit, like, we're

38:53

probably gonna be low on this.

38:54

No way, there's no way a Texas personally

38:58

really well, there is a feeder.

39:00

You know. I went high in Missouri

39:02

because they're killing out the stomp or bucks in Missouri.

39:05

So I feel like people are seeing these big bucks out

39:07

of Missouri is not Texas, Yeah,

39:10

And I don't think so they're thinking that they must be super good

39:12

at hunting.

39:12

I don't think Missouri gets people worked up about.

39:14

Yeah, but Wisconsin is putting the most booners

39:16

on the wall, you know, and you're Missouri it

39:19

is. Yeah, oh yeah, on the top.

39:21

Yeah, the number one young and and you're always

39:23

reading about it with all the people with uh you know, magazine

39:25

subscriptions.

39:26

Keep rubbing it in. Michael. There you go, take

39:30

well earned, I know, Michael. What happens

39:32

to next is you get to choose with a five hundred dollars donation

39:34

from me de to goes. So what's it gonna

39:37

be?

39:40

Step pheasants forever?

39:42

Pheasants forever? What do we like about

39:44

them? With your bird dog? Is that because your best friend

39:46

is sitting about six inches away?

39:48

Yeah exactly, Okay,

39:53

yeah, no, I just think that they do, you

39:55

know, really a lot of good programs, uh,

39:57

kind of from coast to coast, and

40:00

arguably you know, they cover a lot of the

40:02

more upland species and just pheasants.

40:04

You know, I think that they're mislabeled.

40:06

But uh yeah, five hundred dollars

40:08

going their way. And now the

40:11

the Logan and Claire rivalry

40:13

has another chapter in it. Uh, Claire

40:15

won the last game, Logan wins this one.

40:17

So you guys are all that I don't

40:20

I don't really like it.

40:20

Doesn't like this formatic game. You're right, that

40:23

was that was established up front. You

40:26

got that one to be fair, Steve, I like

40:29

the golf idea, that's what we're gonna do,

40:34

gonna happen.

40:35

It's gonna take a game so far as unpopular

40:37

and shoot as popularity.

40:39

That's that is what's gonna happen next time.

40:41

Were connecting it to.

40:42

Golf, No, just shooting

40:44

for a low score.

40:45

Well, because then you're guessing a percentage every.

40:47

Time, every time you'll get a chance.

40:49

Because it's kind of chicken ship to be waving these paddles,

40:51

right, you know what I mean.

40:53

Yeah, it's like you're not really getting in there

40:55

and exposing yourself.

40:57

And then I feel like there are a few times when we're

40:59

like, you know, someone's right near

41:02

the number and like, gosh,

41:04

you just want to guess it with them.

41:05

You know, we're.

41:07

Gonna do a different next time. Thank you for having

41:09

us at the Haley store coming out.

41:12

Appreciate it. We're gonna do someun annual basis

41:14

I think, come over here and have Steve lose

41:16

it trivia. And then everyone cheers

41:18

for Keith like a real, a real

41:20

hearty cheer when it was declared that Keith

41:23

got second.

41:25

I'll take solver any day.

41:28

Well, people that would like to see me lose

41:30

bad should love the paddle game. And

41:32
