Short for High Meat? Is this a Robert Evans reference?

More info

TL;DR: Podcast joke comparing primal diet folks' fermented "high meat" to stuffing a hot truck bed full of hot dogs for months. Really worth a listen.

In the Behind the Bastards podcast episode The Primal Diet Con with guest Dr Kaveh Hoda, host Robert Evans mentions Inuit meat-preserving technique known as kiviak. The fermented meat was a way to survive the winter, not a superfood that made them healthier than the tribes further south who could fish year-round. The episode is well worth listening to but the kiviak discussion starts around the half-point, at the 32-37 minute mark depending on what ads you get in your region. This devolves into a discussion on truck bed "high meat":

I'm not saying you should do this. It is theoretically possible to ferment meat as other people have done for generations, in a way that is not dangerous for you. It is not likely that you are going to do it with the advice that you are getting on reddit.com. And there's no specific health benefits for it, right? And again, the Inuit are not eating kiviak because it's like a super food that gives them Liver-King-like powers. They're eating it becauseit has a lot of vitamins and it stores well, right, it's– it's that–

– They have to.

[...something about cheese...]

High meat advocates are of course weirdos on the internet, and so they take the weirdo on the internet tact of being like "this shit gives you powers". Basically, it makes you euphoric. It'll they do talk about it helping you lose weight, which I suspect they're right about, but not. Yeah. Man, if you eat nothing but rotting meat, you will lose weight.

– You'll shit yourself silly.

– Shit yourself to good health.
Um – the Robert Evans Health Book: Just get buy four hundred hot dogs and leave them, leave them in the bed of your truck. Get one of those – like a Ford F-150 – that's a key – or a Toyota Tacoma – and get one of those big metal lids. Fill the whole bed with hot dogs and just drive around all summer in it, right? And then when winter comes and food is scarce, pop that hood open and just go to town with a spoon. You know you're good to go. You're good. The hot dog truck is the ideal way to consume calories. It'll put it, it'll go straight to muscle, it's like steroids for you. Really, you get extra energy from it. It's great.

– That's a Tacoma truck full of basically hot dog pudding.

– Yeah, a hot dog, A hot dog Tacoma. Sometimes, get your sour cream, pour some in there too. You want to start at the beginning of June, and then by October your hot dog Tacoma's probably ready to eat.

– Are we just trying to see if we can make Sophie [executive producer] puke?

– Yeah? I think we are.

(Sophie:) You can't do it.

– But you know who can make Sophie vomit with joy?

– Yes?

– The sponsors of this podcast.

20-ish minutes later, they circle back to the joke and the podcast ends with:

And I think what you're saying, Kaveh, is that we need about sixty volunteers and because we're scientists, we're going to do a double blind. So thirty of you fill a Tacoma bed with a metal top with hot dogs and butter or cream and just let it sit for three months and then eat all of it. And then the other thirty of you, around October, just buy a fresh Tacoma full of hot dogs and butter and eat it all fresh, and then we'll see who's healthiest, and that'll let us know if this is a good idea.

– It's randomized, it's– I don't know if we could double blind it because we might have to figure out how to hide the smell and the stench. But I feel like we have a trial here. I feel like there is something we could do. There's something we could work with here.

– No, you don't hide the stench. You just get like a decal that says "work truck" and stick it on the side. People won't ask questions. Nobody, nobody's going to ask questions.

– There's no good smelling Tacomas.

– Well, everyone, uh, sign up to volunteer for our our Tacoma High Hot Dog challenge to see if it's good to eat hot dogs that have been left in the back of a Tacoma. Um, well, we'll do a science altogether. Endorsed by Dr Kaveh Hoda.

– Yeah, sure, sure. It's the end of the world anyway, so...

– Why not, might as well. Maybe this will help us survive the end of the world. Maybe this is what makes us not need water, you know. Enough Tacoma hot dogs and we could make it possible for people to survive in Arizona again.

– Yeah, it's like the Terrigen Mist. You'll survive it and be stronger, or you won't.

– Yeah, yeah, one way or the other. Look, there's only one way to find out.
