Meat Eaters will donate $500 to the conservation organization

of the winner's choosing. Now, Yanni, we got a lot of guests in town today. Tell us what you guys have been up to. We just spent, at least half of us here at this table, spent two days competing at the SIGARC event, which stands for Archery Rifle Competition. The gist of it is that in the course of two days and one evening, we shot 16 different stages and no two were the same.

Give me an example or two. Lots of pistols, lots of rifles, lots of bone arrow shots, archery shots. An example would be, and this was a favorite of ours, both actually stages, they were in the same location, but they changed over two days. It was the top of a hill, mountain kind of a thing. And day one, you laid down your rifle, you had one shot, and you had to choose between a 200, 400, and a 600-yard target.

And they were small, 8x10 tens, I think, steel plates. And, um, the 200 had a value and then the 400 had a medium value. 600 had a high value. You'd shoot to get your next round. You had to run, sprint, whatever you want to do, walk 100 yards to a bucket, grab a round and come back, lay down, put it in. So very biathlon kind of feel to that one. That was your favorite event? It was one that, yeah, it was fun because it seemed like, you know,

there's a lot of different things that you're sort of trying to work into it. The same zone had one where they had roughly 15 steel plates set up. You had to shoot them all with your pistol. The last plate was 200 yards away. And you could shoot it at whatever distance you wanted with a pistol. So most folks ran down there, shot it at close range, and then ran all the way back. And these were relays.

That one was a relay. So once you got back, the next person on your three-person team would start. It was cool. The winning team got to choose a nonprofit where Sig donated $50,000 to. Whoa. Yeah. Can we talk about the results? Is that something that we can speak to?

Okay. How Team Meteor do you? Team Meteor landed perfectly average. We were four out of seven. Okay. Which, very happy with. Uh-huh. Especially, we had a little bit of a handicap.

Cal's not here to say anything about it. Cal shot his trad bow. He's the only trad bow shooter. And it definitely costs us when we're not even touching foam on a lot of archery shots. But no, overall, I felt like we had a versatile middle-of-the-road team, and that's right where we landed. Okay. Patrick can probably speak to the winning teams. Yeah, Patrick, Troy, you guys were a big part of making

this event happen. Did everything go as planned? Is there going to be a second annual? Yeah. Art competition? This was pretty much exactly how we envisioned it. Okay. It was, it was kind of, uh, unique in the way that

like we did a, an event a couple of years ago called the Hunter Games that was mostly rifle based. Um, the con, the concept behind this was to utilize more of the things that we do well like range finders and binos and have it be um all aspects of shooting so we had rifle handgun we had archery it mixed a lot of it but what it did that was super cool that we saw was um when we did the last two-day event of hunter games people would get really good on the second day and And with this, the second day was a totally different ball game. They were carrying their bows instead of their rifle.

Everything was different. So it made it super, super cool. And actually, Troy's team that he was managing ended up being the ones that ended up winning the whole thing. Oh. Yeah. It did really good. Set up the competition and won the competition.

I set up the archery stages. You did. Okay. You did. Which was about 25% of the overall competition. I set up the archery stages. He did. Okay. He did. Which was about 25% of the overall competition. I've filed my complaint. Yeah, I don't know if we can let that happen. That'd be like if I played trivia today

with you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we had a killer team. Cody Alford, Kurt Gamache, and Mike Hearn. These guys are all studs. And I think Speed killed on this one. And those guys had speed in spades.

So great cause too. Defenders of Freedom helps veterans address and treat TBIs. Cody himself has been through the program and has seen the benefit of it. And so it was cool to watch those guys win and put money towards a good cause. $50,000 going their way via SIG. Now, Justin, Luke, Mark, Scotty, you're our athletes in the room

and at the competition. Justin and Luke in mixed martial arts, Mark in surfing, Scotty in snowboarding. You guys think you could go pro in shooting after this week? Could you pull it off? That's a hell no. It would take a lot of commitment.

I hadn't shot I probably did three rounds through a rifle before this last week. So Trevor Thompson, who's on our team from Protect, he's very, very, very competent and experienced. So I did two mornings

in Salt Lake with him beforehand. But yeah, it's a long road for me. Okay. Justin, pro in shooting, could you do it? Oh, I don't know. Definitely not archery. I was definitely on point yesterday with the pistols. I love shooting rifles.

But yeah, like Patrick was talking about, the whole experience was just awesome because it challenged you in so many different ways. The relays had a lot of strategy that went involved, so you really need to know your teammates and know their abilities and then go from there. But yeah, we took sixth, so I thought we did good, but man, there were some shooters out there.

So seeing as we took sixth, I don't think me or Luke will pass for professionals. Okay, need some more work. I think what points to the success and a great sentiment that I heard throughout the camp, we were all camped hanging out together in wall tents, was that everybody felt like after they shot a stage, they'd be like, oh, can we do that again, like just for fun? Uh-huh, yeah. That was two days of just pure fun with projectiles.

Yeah. My favorite stage was the infrared at night. We had two stages set up at night the first night. We used some flashlights on our pistols. One pistol, two ARs. Yep. Had to clear, I think, 20 targets. And then you walked up a hill and uh used the infrared

site and there was three targets he had uh or three or five five five five five targets out there and you had to go through and look through those find those with your infrared you know optic it was awesome yeah there's steel targets and uh we were using pete was up there with a blow torch heating them up we were running thermals and up there with a blowtorch, heating them up. We were running thermals. And it was, that was a cool stage. I think a lot of people came into that stage thinking they were going to crush it. My team being one of them. And we did not run super well on that stage.

And then I think teams that came into it feeling a little shaky, cleaned house pretty quick. I saw some social clips, but when and where can i watch this whole thing it's rolling out now like i think the the beauty of this is it's like a mixing pot like josh's company montana knife uh they've been cranking stuff out we're cranking stuff out on the sig hunting instagram meat eaters cranking it out like everybody it's it's going to be in your feed hard for the next couple weeks weeks. Okay. The other thing on our team, I was super proud of is we had the only woman on our team in the whole competition, Tulsi Gabbard, which was pretty cool. And we, and we still finished second, which, uh, we had Bo Nickel who had never really shot pistol before, uh, UFC fighter as well. Um, but I did think it was really cool having a couple of people that, well, having a woman on our team and somebody kind of newer to that stuff. And even myself, not that experienced, but we work pretty, pretty well together as a team, but Tulsi, uh, you know,

she's on her book tour and she's in the running for VP and all that stuff. And to come off of that and just step in with a bunch of men and be, and, you know, frankly, our team beat a lot of very capable men, which was pretty cool to do that. And she, she, she had never shot bow, uh, but she'd shot once or twice. She had gotten a bow from, from Cam Haynes. So we were literally sighting her bow in the morning of the archery part. And, uh, she still got arrows and foam, even in those steel targets. I think she only hit three of the steel out of the, what, six? Yeah. So that's pretty good.

So the way Sig did that, and also the piece of property that was on the landowners allowing, with the litigious society that we live in, a property owner allowing a bunch of people to come up and shoot guns for two straight days is very cool that there's still people out there to, to let that happen. And to be happy about it.

Yeah. And they came over and had dinner with us. Yeah. He told, he told like Lewis and Clark story and an older couple, um, he told a story and he was as happier than could be that, that we were all out there, which was cool. Now, Josh, I've heard Steve talking about a knife, um, that you and him have been working

on together, but he's been very light on details. Yeah. But when this podcast comes out, we'll be a week away from that collab dropping. What can you tell us about it? Yeah. Uh, it's something that Steve and I've been working on for a while. I'm super excited about it. Um, we have, we have a few knives coming throughout the rest of this year together,

actually. Um, but this first one's called the Stubhorn, um, kind of named, named after a bison. And, uh, it's, it's a hunting knife, um, kind of a cool, cool looking hunting knife that Steve and I went back and forth on. What was, what was cool about the process is really just allowing Steve to tell me what he wanted a knife. And I kept, you know, doing different drawings and we kept kicking models back and forth and getting it exactly how we wanted. So, uh, we have that coming and then we have a different, uh, knife

we'll talk about probably later called the flat tail that'll be coming later on. So after a beaver, uh, be a beaver trapping. So, uh, yeah, that's been a really cool experience to work with Steve and, and he's, uh, he's so knowledgeable. Uh, it's, I've, I've actually learned a lot from him. And he tells you that he is. Now that first knife he talks about comes out June 27. So about a week after this episode airs, uh, and Mark Kenyon, you're just in town for fun. So, uh, welcome to the studio. Thanks for having me. And I actually got one of those knives and that's probably my favorite knife you guys have made yet. And I have four or five.

It's really nice. That's awesome. Kudos. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Well, thanks to Steve. So yeah, it's been, that's been cool.

We're, we're really excited about it and we're really excited about, there's some stuff coming, not just for the field, but also, but also for the kitchen later on this year. So a lot of stuff coming. Yep. All right. We don't have any stats, IFAQs or housekeeping today, so we can get right to the trivia. The Shelby index for this round is a four.

So our winner should get eight correct answers. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what i stand to win just tend to win everything game on suckers question one the topic is, and this will be multiple choice. Which of these countries does not have oscillated turkeys? Is it Belize, United States, Guatemala, or Mexico?

This is question one of ten. This will be your only multiple choice question today. Which of these countries does not have oscillated turkeys? Belize, United States, Guatemala, or Mexico. Three of those countries have an oscillated turkey. One of them does not. Yanni, very confident over here. Yanni, you have this one, right?

I don't even know what that oscillated turkey is. Okay. I don't know what one is either. Okay, that's going to be tough for the handful of you who don't know what an oscillated turkey is. Which of those countries does not have one? Belize, United States, Guatemala, or Mexico? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Justin saying Belize. Marcus saying USA. yanni says usa josh belize patrick belize troy united states scotty belize luke guatemala healy usa the correct answer is the united states about half of you got that one right. I erased it and changed it. Oscillated turkeys are primarily found on the Yucatan Peninsula because of their peacock-like colors. The National Audubon Society describes them as a technicolor turkey. The American Bird Conservancy estimates their population is between 20,000 and 50,000. Does that answer your question, Justin, about an oscillated turkey?

They're a very bright, vibrant turkey. Yanni, how would you describe one? Have you seen one before? Yeah, I have. In Guatemala, actually, we went to look at some ruins, and I was just as interested in those turkeys as the— what I remember most about that tour is you're walking around these— do call them it's not a pyramid what do they call it it's like a it's not a pyramid but it has the same same shape as a pyramid but anyways like every other stop

the guide's like and that's where they sacrifice people and then over here they sacrifice the kids and then over here they sacrifice the neighboring tribe And then when you lost a soccer game, that's where they beheaded you. There was a lot of that. But anyways, yeah, they were down there. It's like a turkey

and a peacock made a baby. Did you see them or did you hear them while you were there? We saw them. Did you hear them too? Were they like just as vocal

as turkeys you're familiar with? No, we did not hear them. And as far as I understand, they don't make the noises like our turkeys. Question two. The topic is wildlife. This man spent 179 episodes working filthy careers

such as roadkill collector, beaver relocator, deer urine farmer, crab fisherman, taxidermist, and more. This is question two. This man spent 179 episodes working filthy careers such as roadkill collector, beaver relocator, deer urine farmer, crab fisherman, taxidermist, and more. So your answer will be the name of this person. Say it out loud. Come on. Justin just let a first name slip.

Not going to confirm if it was right or not. Justin's just writing them down, too. Just flat out on the table. Yanni looks confident again. Josh, do you have this one right? Josh thinks he has this one. Troy, do you have this one? Half the room is confident.

Healy is now joining them with an answer. I'm just glad I'm not getting shut out today. That pretty much was my goal. This man spent 179 episodes working filthy careers, such as roadkill collector, beaver relocator, deer urine farmer, crab fisherman, taxidermist, and more. It is a really unique form of misery when you know you know the answer to one of these,

but it just won't come to your head. Is that you right now? I'm seeing it on Justin's face right now. Can we just do a last name? Yeah, last name's good enough. Is that now? Yeah, Jeopardy. Ah, no way.

Jeopardy takes a letter. First name? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Steve would not allow that. First name is not good enough. Last name would be good enough. Oh, yeah. I'm in.

I think I got it. I think I got it. Is everybody ready? Scotty. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the highlight saying Mike. Mark Kenyon saying Mike Rowe.

Giannis, Mike Rowe. Josh, Mike Rowe. Patrick, Mike Rowe. Dirty Jobs. Troy, Mike Rowe. Scotty says Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. Luke says JoJo. Kiwi says Dirty Jobs guy, Mike Rowe.

The room did very well. The Jobs Guy. Mike Rowe. The room did very well. The correct answer is Mike Rowe. Dirty Jobs ran for eight seasons on the Discovery Channel from 2005 to 2012. In each episode, Mike Rowe would shadow a worker from a trade that was often filthy, difficult, and dangerous. In a 2019 interview, Rowe said that the five worst jobs he ever worked were sewer inspector, snake biologist, cow inseminator, concrete chipper, and shark suit tester.

Who's JoJo? Siwa. JoJo Siwa. Question three. The topic is gear. This next great question is via Jane Henson. What does the AR in AR-15 stand for?

Oh, God. What does the AR in AR-15 stand for? Wow. A lot of folks shooting guns this week in the room. We'll see if they know what the AR stands for in AR-15.

Yanni, how we feel about your answer? Man, I'm just going to go with the gut, whatever popped in there first. I don't, it's, I know someone has, we've discussed this on the podcast, but I feel bad for not knowing 100%. What does the AR stand for? I think I have the first part. Oh, yeah. If I worked for a firearm company, I didn't know this one, man. I'd feel really good.

Easy there, Yanni. Is everybody ready? No. Not a very confident room. This could be a zero percenter. What does the AR in AR-15 stand for? Marcus, you have this one? Kind of like Yanni.

I had like a first gut word that popped up in my mind, so I went with that. But I would say I'm 40% confident. I think we're waiting on our Sig boys down there. You guys ready? I think I'm good. Well, they got time limit. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Justin saying Armalite. Mark, Armalite. Yannis, American Rifle. Josh, what's that say, Josh? Armanent, yeah, I don't have it. Patrick says Armalite research. Troy, Armalite rifle. Scotty, assault rifle.

Luke, assault rifle. Healy, automatic rifle. The correct answer is Armalite. About half of you got that right. Armalite is the manufacturer who created the AR-15 platform for civilians in the 1950s. Because ARs so often get mislabeled as assault rifles or automatic rifles, the industry has tried migrating to the acronym MSR, which stands for Modern Sporting Rifle. Question four.

The topic is cooking. This next great question is via Corey Mulhare. What animal part is used to make foie gras? That is spelled F-O-I-E space G-R-A-S. What animal part is used to make foie gras? You like eating foie gras, Spencer. I've never had foie gras. Have you?

Yeah. You like it? Yeah. I've had it a couple different ways. I had it cold like a paste, and it was the most disgusting thing. That's so bad. In the next half. Don't give up any tips.

Justin giving out some hints. You'd like to beat these boys, right, Justin? It's okay. I'm just reminding you. Justin giving out some hints. You'd like to beat these boys, right, Justin? It's okay. I'm just reminding you. But the second time I had it, he cooked it on a flat top. Yep. And you liked it.

It was so good. Okay. I feel like you're the type of person who likes uni. Love uni. Yeah, if you like. Love bone marrow. About 80%. Yanni, give us your foie gras review. It's extremely rich.

So it's not something that I feel like if you ate it every day, you'd probably get over it real quick. But it's like a New Year's. I think we always used to serve it at New Year's on a pre-fab menu, you know, at the restaurant. We'd do a fancy foie gras dish usually. Did Yanni and Justin's banter help anybody? Yeah, I was going to say the two bits they laid out made me more confident.

Okay. Is everybody ready? I feel pretty good. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Justin saying duck liver. Mark says liver. Yanni, liver. Josh, brain. saying duck liver. Mark says liver. Yanni, liver. Josh, brain.

Patrick, liver. Troy, goose liver. Scotty, liver. Luke, tongue. Healy, liver. The correct answer is liver. Duck liver. The room did very well.

Foie gras translates to fat liver in French. It's a gourmet meal that's achieved by force-feeding ducks and geese from a young age. The contentious dish has been banned in over a dozen countries, as well as California. To create your own appetizer that contains all the fanciness of foie gras with none of the controversy, check out Steve's recipe on TheMeatEater.com called Wild Game Pate. Obviously, Luke and I don't eat expensive restaurants. Johnny, your restaurant served foie gras?

Well, I mean, I've worked at a lot of restaurants. You worked at one that served foie gras? Yeah. Like I said, it would be a New Year's Eve on the pre-feed menu. Here's question five. The topic is wildlife. This next great question is via Vince Maniaki.

This is the largest member of the dolphin family and Washington State marine mammal. This is question five. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. This is the largest member of the dolphin family and Washington State Marine Mammal. Healy, very confident. Over here, do you have this one right? Potentially do.

It's actually a little dicey because there's these really weird-ass dolphins that I know get very large, but I haven't seen scale in between the one that I picked in this. Is it also Washington's state marine mammal? That's your other part of the question that you need to fulfill.

That doesn't help. This is the largest member of the dolphin family and Washington's state marine mammal. Room is pretty stumped. I'm 100% sure I did not get that. Clipper. Can I cheat? That might be more of a statement, Justin. Like, there is no answer.

I like that. Is everybody ready? A handful of folks with blank boards. Still, are you going to come up with an answer? As soon as Scotty is done writing, we will reveal the answers. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the highlight without an answer. Marcus says orca.

Yanni, orca. Josh says bottlenose. Patrick, porpoise. Troy, humpback whale. Scotty, me not know. Luke, what's that say Luke? Shark. Shark. Keely says orca.

The correct answer is orca or killer whale. About half of you got that right. Scientifically, all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins. Dolphins are a type of toothed whale, with the other four families being narwhals and belugas, sperm whales, beaked whales, and porpoises. The orca became Washington's official state marine mammal in 2005, with their other state mammal being the marmot. Phil, we're halfway through the game of trivia, give us a scoreboard update.

We've got Luke, who's yet to make an impression on the board. He's got zero points. I'm just here to make Jack feel better. And that's important. Josh, you've got one point. Scotty and Justin have two. Patrick has three. And all with four points, you've got Mark Healy, Giannis, and Troy.

And Troy, my heart broke for you when I saw you, watched you change your answer from Orca to something else. Because if you had not done that, you would be tied with Mark Kenyon with a perfect game. Mark's got five points.

Mark Kenyon with the perfect game. I should kick him out of here. He didn't even participate in the SIG event. And I'm the one outlier. This ain't your episode. Hey, folks.

Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness, do we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes. And our raffle and sweepstakes law makes it that they can't join. Whew. Our northern brothers get irritated. Well, if you're sick of, you know, sucking high and titty there,

The topic is cooking. What's the Spanish word for red that's often used in Mexican cuisine? It's going to be fucking hilarious. You're going to prove my point all day. Justin's been calling him a Canadian all weekend. What's your point, Justin? He's not Mexican. He was born in Nebraska, but he's Canadian.

Okay. Again, this is question six. The topic is cooking. What's the Spanish word for red that's often used in Mexican cuisine? I might not even get this right, but. You got to spell it right too, right? Spelling is not matter. Now Luke said he's only here to make Justin feel better.

Justin, is he making you feel better? That's why I pay this guy. Job well done. Does everyone have an answer for the Spanish word for red that's used in Mexican cuisine? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the highlight saying rojo mark rojo yanni rojo josh says spicy we have the rest of the room saying rojo they got it the correct answer is roja or rojo on the board in spanish roja means red and you just got a big tie going green some things that you'd order roja versus verde are enchiladas tamales salsa mole sauce and pepian sauce

typically foods that are ordered roja are hotter and earthier tasting while verde are milder and fresher tasting question seven the. The topic is fishing. Name one of the two state capitals where you could fish the Mississippi River. Don't tell me the state. I need you to tell me the capital of that state. Name one of the two state capitals where you could fish in the Mississippi River. The room is stumped. Mark, perfect

game down the line. He has yet to put marker to whiteboard. You're not feeling good about this one? I'm sure I'm going to show my lack of geographical... Name one of the two state capitals where you could fish the Mississippi River. One of the two? one of the two state capitals where you can fish the Mississippi River. One of the two?

One of the two. Oh. You have two options. You just need to name one of them. If you put down two, you're going to get it wrong. Just put down one of those state capitals. And again, we're looking for the capital, not the state. It's one of the first times I've answered on my board.

I don't think it's a dumb guess. Yeah, like it's educated. And with the look on Luke's face, I'm pretty sure... I don't feel good. Luke's trying to think of a capital. Yeah, he just wants a capital. If anybody could give him a capital, he'd be happy.

Hell in a Montana. I don't know if this is a capital. I don't know if it's on the Mississippi. This is question seven. Name one of the two state capitals where you could fish in the Mississippi River. It's a capital, which I don't know. I don't know if mine's a capital. Yanni, are you going to write down an answer?

Yeah, when I have to. Okay, I think you have to. We're running out of time. Oh, this is high stakes for you, Yanni. You get this wrong, it's going to be hard to come back. Oh, well, not if the leaderboard also gets it wrong. This is question seven. A lot of pressure on Mark, who could get the perfect game.

Mark, do you have an answer down? Yeah, I have an answer. Is it for sure a state capital? No. No, okay. I can't remember the state, but it's on the line. Is everybody ready? Watch.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the highlight saying New Orleans. Marcus says Fargo. Yanni, Davenport. Josh, Jackson. Patrick, Jackson. Troy, Baton Rouge. I don't know.

Scotty, New Orleans. Luke, without an answer, Healy, Memphis. I don't know. We have a correct answer in the room. It's St. Paul, Minnesota, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We had Troy. Money, Troy. Good job.

Other major cities on the Mississippi River include Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, Davenport, La Crosse, and New Orleans. Wait, Memphis? Memphis, but it's not their state capital. There are 123 counties bordering the river that are home to 20 million people. It's estimated that 25% of all fish species in North America live in that stretch of water. Here's question eight. The topic is hunting. This beer brand, which is brewed in Shiner, Texas, features a bighorn sheep on its label.

This beer brand, which is brewed in Shiner, Texas, features a bighorn sheep on its label. We only had Troy get that last one right. That's going to make the leaderboard interesting. We will get an update from Phil after this question. And you did say spelling does not matter. Spelling does not matter, that's right. This beer brand, which is brewed in Shiner, Texas, features a bighorn sheep on its label. Yanni, did you crack one of these after killing your bighorn sheep? I did not, but I have had a few of these in my day.

Okay. Is everybody ready? Scott, are you ready? Yeah, I'm just doing one for fun, yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have the highlights saying Shinerbach. Mark and Yanni and Josh saying Shinerbach. Patrick says Shiner.

Troy says Shinerbach. Scotty says Bud Light. Luke, Lone Star, Healy says Shiner. The correct answer is Shinerbach. Are we going to give it to Patrick and Healy for just writing down Shiner? Okay, the room is nodding yes. If you said Shiner, you get that one right. I'm not your enemy.

He's over there. Shiner Bock. Did anyone else besides Healy and Patrick say just Shiner or just those two? I think just those two. In German, the word Bock means billy goat or ram, which is how the beer got its name and label. Bock beers are a traditional German dark lager that date back to medieval times. Bock flavor is described as rich in malt taste with hops to balance out the sweetness

and a punchy aroma of baked bread. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. Luke, Josh, Scotty, and Justin are all out of the running for the win.
