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. Katie. What is your relationship to or opinion of turkeys?

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

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.

Deli meat, dark meat, white meat with gravy.
