MeatEater Trivia | Ep. 493 | Trivia Game is Live

[@jeray16042]

This trivia program is the best thing to happen to Wednesday since the term “hump day”.

[@jasonhaff9757]

Spencer brings a lot to meateater, big fan!

[@Gilly999999]

He does, great character

[@Perry2186]

The problem is what he said without question is he said in what state college not State's college

[@Perry2186]

Or word it as in the college in this state and then description cause when you ask for a State College you're going to get an answer of the universities Not the region it's in

[@jordanmiller8037]

The West Virginia question factoid really should have included the fact that in 2012 the mascot killed a black bear with the musket he carries

[@billmcginnis123]

Good job Spencer it's appreciated.

[@Gilly999999]

Spencer is the maaaan

[@Hadden27]

Hey I am loving this wager aspect! Great idea guys. Love the show. Can’t wait to hear a wager episode with Steve!

[@kvaughn1573]

I did as well! I think they shouldn’t be able to wager 0 though!

[@like2hunt]

Got mine in the mail today! Now I just need friends. 😂

[@danielblair6592]

Finally! Been waiting for this trivia game. Gonna be a lot of fun at Thanksgiving. Had to order two. One as a gift for my hunting partner and one for myself.

[@chauncymcgillicuddy1079]

this is the type of Thanksgiving I want to go to

[@garoldrichardson6113]

I started listening to the podcast last year, and I'm almost completely caught up. And because I love the trivia, I've already purchased one of the games and have it en route.

[@mattmattigan5036]

Cal literally said what I was thinking with the NPS followers, lmao.

[@jasontraska2616]

Sheepshead!!!! Very German game her in SE WI. Congrats on the publication of the trivia game all!

[@danoeb-g418]

It's it similar to euchre. It's also a trick winning game with Trump

[@HawkeyeHikes]

Cal now keeps the highest score ever recorded in Meateater Trivia

[@justsnuggle]

The State college question, the way it's written it is asking for the name of the "State college". If it was asking for the state, it would say " Which State's".

[@Mike-ul1xn]

I wish Steve would write a book about Daniel Boone

[@imspacedout]

I know it isn’t Steve but have you listened to the series on the Bear Grease podcast?

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

Peduncle actually means stem. In terms of fish, it is called the caudal peduncle, because the tail is also called the caudal fin. This was actually a previous question on the podcast.

[@dangerousdylan6262]

Tennessee's mascot is a Blue Tick Hound named Smokey

[@wubsworld8946]

Awesome job on the custom game!

[@brianbickham780]

Loved the wager!

[@ralphthomas4962]

Yeah Cal!

[@tybaltshouse]

Love the wager game. Seemed to add some extra fun and some twists to the game. Would love to keep seeing this version. Question- if someone wagers 0 but gets the question right, do they still get a point? And if yes, then does anyone get a point for a right answer in regards to how much they wager?

[@KMBlaster]

I'm not sure that what Culver's calls walleye nowadays is still walleye, but some kind of Wonder fish.

[@kvaughn1573]

Awesome episode! Let’s see one with Steve! And no wagering 0!

[@MrFtd07]

I live 2 miles south of lake Ontario. Glad to see some representation. Yelling at my phone during those answers though

[@jacksonfromm8365]

Game on suckers!

[@eltigraska]

First board game correction? I happened to have just listened to ep 388 yesterday and the camo can question was not a 0%.. Janis got it right

[@chrismoon4677]

Awesome ep.. I like the wager style

[@KisanS41]

Steve would have raised heck on this episode…

[@danorris5235]

With the question quality issue or the game mechanics nonsense?

[@KisanS41]

@@danorris5235 The wager point system...

[@ashleyeve]

I need this game!!

[@dimensionsofearth]

I want a Canada version! I've done surprisingly well at some games others I do awful. I only know so much about the United States and can imagine if I buy the board game my friends and I would get a ton of questions wrong overall

[@austinsuter1990]

14 points. Dang it, Cal

[@chandlerbeard9957]

I couldn’t remember the combo, but pretty sure Clay actually explained what a hinny is in one of the KZbin episodes.

[@tonyestrada6747]

I literally submitted the exact same question about fond, the day before this episode dropped 😂

[@D.o.a]

Shot in the Dark would you make a north american version for Canadians and other countries in the future. Just an idea to sell more games.

[@samjohnson8258]

Ordered it the day it dropped!

[@asherkuiken2200]

And farther below, Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her - Gordon Lightfoot ( The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald )

[@dkboiler8994]

Just ordered a game! Can’t wait to play!

[@SteelheadTed]

I thought Spencer said on a previous episode that all the board game questions were new and not on a previous show?

[@BeerCheese]

Spencer is the Jeff D Lowe of Meateater

[@nickfazekas7862]

Man this is going to throw Cal's overall points average way into Steve's and Brody's

[@brandonlowry3145]

Already ordered my trivia game 2 nights ago lol

[@danikettunen3796]

I used to compete in 4H horse competitions and one of the girls I competed against rode a Hinny, was initially confused because I couldn’t figure out what it had to do with wildlife but I guess maybe they could be used to pack stuff in mountains?

[@fbo4865]

Bought one before this aired.

[@jordanthompson6476]

Just purchased mine! Let’s goooooo

[@paulellsworth7679]

I ordered 4 of them arriving tomorrow!

[@davereeiiz5268]

Each player could get a handicap of maybe half the difference between ten and the average of their previous scores. For example, your average is 4, handicap 3....6, 2.

[@SouthDetroitFishing]

Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her.

[@user-yo2eh8wl4z]

CULVERS!!!!!!!!

[@joshpurkiss3965]

Good changes, but I think you need to have contestants pick their final wager before seeing the last question.

[@ltdannichols]

Can you guys make meateater gear (or games) deliverable to APOs?

[@russhillis]

Tried to buy the board game. Do you even know Canada is on the same continent?

[@rustdcamo9561]

I don’t like the wagers concept. I got 4 right, I’m almost always the same as the Shelby index, but I’m pushing my knowledge and very limited in my confidence to most answers. I, therefore, finished with 1 point. Instead of having fun, I was very frustrated.

[@KMBlaster]

Oh and by the way the show is awesome😂

[@kanagawakenji7]

No chuckles at Spruce Grouse?

[@MattBhigney]

I win a free game box right lol?

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Man peduncle? Really? Cal? I cant believe that. A non biologist knew that? How?

[@Catch4]

Glad Brody wasn't on

[@nathanshirkey5314]

State college question was trash. I went to WVU and I missed it

[@mattdecatur64]

You should of had them wager on the topic. Not the question. Throughout the game.

[@danorris5235]

The wagering mechanic turns trivia, a game genre where you win if you are correct more often than an opponent, into a gambler's mess. Someone can easily "win" by getting less than half of the questions correct when compared to an opponent depending on how the two parties wagered point they didn't have throughout the game destroying the point of scoring trivia to begin with. Maybe I'm the wrong demographic for that kind of thing, but it reminds me of Wits and Wagers or Say Anything, neither of which are remotely fun whatsoever because of that.

[@Gilly999999]

Luckily, it's an optional house-rule, that you don't have to follow or use at all

[@danorris5235]

@@Gilly999999 I know. It's just painful to watch. I honestly don't care how people play in their living rooms, but if this was supposed to help sell the game I don't see how. Playing with admittedly subpar questions, when question integrity is frequently called into question on this show, wasn't a great call. Adding a game mechanics that's counterproductive to the point of the game didn't help either. I love watching the series, I like the podcast, but this trivia stuff is starting to wear on me if it keeps going in this direction. How a social media "likes" question and animal husbandry question were even initially considered as qualifying concepts for the states umbrella the show claims is seriously beyond me. It honestly makes me question if it's worth the buy. It's an awesome idea, I just fear the way it was implemented.

[@Gilly999999]

@@danorris5235 I'm sad you can't enjoy it, I think the wager made it extra entertaining. Watching Jani going for 3 wagers almost every time. I just enjoy the show for the banter, that's why I watch every trivia show.

[@danorris5235]

@@Gilly999999 I really enjoyed the early trivia. It was great. Something changed too much.
