Turkeys, known for being birds, famous for being meats and two types.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why turkeys are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alec Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden.

I like turkeys.

So I think they are really interesting animals because they've been so they're so affiliated or associated with Thanksgiving.

Of course, we do eat them.

Let's just get that out of the way, right?

We eat them, folks. That happens. We do eat the, we do eat the turkeys. Wild turkeys are really

But, you know, yeah, I think it's, it is just really cool because I like, I like birds.

And I especially like birds that remind me that birds are the last living family of dinosaurs, which is fun.

Yes, I agree with all that.

And also, I should disclose how much I like eating turkey.

I think I eat more turkey than most Americans.

We would do Schmidt Family Thanksgivings and only me and my dad were excited about turkey as a food.
