- I like USA light.
- (laughing) Sure.

(loud laughing)
(dramatic music)
- What's up internet?
This is Wil Fulton from Thrillist
and welcome to "No Chasers,"
the trivia game where we drink a lot.
(hands slap)
I am here with the boss of sauce,
the maestro of massive food,
a very large Canadian man with a pretty enviable beard,
may I say so myself.
- Thank you.
- But most importantly, he's the host of Epic Meal Time.
(dramatic music)
- And 20 pounds, baby get up!
(dramatic music)
- Whoo, ooo, ooo.
- Mr. Harley Morenstein.
- That's right. Also the pharaoh of flavor,
the minister of mixture,
the Jeff Goldblum of Jamaican jerk chicken,
the Schwarzenegger of shawarma.
- Yes.
- Chuck Norris of chicken nugget,
grocery store gynecologist.
Michael Jordan of meat, supermarket superintendent.
- Maybe one more.
- Bieber of bacon.
- OK, so you have made your living
doing whatever you just did.
- Yeah, that's 90% of my life.
- And also ruining the diets of everyone on the internet.
So you're making your own food.
Tell me about your jerky.
- So, we made a jerky.
Isn't that crazy, Pizza in a Bag?
(bouncy music)
- We made a jerky.
Not me -- I had nothing to do with it.
- You have some in your back pocket?
- You're not supposed to know that.
- I know, but it's sticking out.
He's got some jerky in his pocket, this guy -- watch out.
- I swear this never happens.
- Yeah, we made our own jerky.
It's called Pizza in a Bag.
It's available in every single Walmart in the USA.
- There's a lot of 'em.
- Yeah, we thought we'd start with a small sample
of 4,500 Walmarts in the USA.
And if everyone enjoys it, then we might consider
moving to the two Walmarts in Canada.
- Uh-huh.
- But it's pizza-style pepperoni jerky.
It tastes like pizza, smells like pizza.
There's Buffalo, supreme, pepper--
I'm getting really amped up about my own jerky right now.
I feel weird, I'm gonna pull back on this.
Actually that's all I want to say.
- I was thinking about something else.
You keep going.
- He's got jerky in his pocket.
(Wil laughs)
- So, you seem to know a lot about jerky.
You're making your own jerky.
We want to make sure you're truly one with the jerky.
- OK.
- So here on "No Chasers," what we're gonna do is
ask you 10 multiple-choice, jerky-centered questions.
When you get a question right, I have to take a shot.
When you get one wrong, you must take a shot.
- Yeah.
- You know what we have in front of us?
- Uh, we have jerky whiskey.
- This is some specially-made reposado tequila.
- Reposado, accent on the "do."
- OK, question the first.
We're going to bring it all the way back to jerky history.
Did you just look at the card?
- No I didn't.
- OK, I trust you.

A. 1375.
B. 1550.
Or C. 1997.

- You got this.
- I'm gonna stir this up a little bit.
- Just think about it for a second.
- What was A?
- A is 1375.
- Lock it in, 1375.
- That's your final answer?
- Wait, maybe not.
Why are you saying it like that?
- 'Cause I said I would.
- But that was disappointing.
- Look, you're wrong, take a shot.
- It was wrong?
- You're wrong.
- F-- (loud beep).
(pounding music)
- You did that well.
- Feel great, next question.

The Japanese don't want your meat.
- That's not what I heard.
Also you're wrong.
It is B., the UK.
- They don't, what?
The UK?
- Yeah, surprising upside about jerky.
- Ah, I like to breathe all the air
out of my body first, for some reason.
- Before you drink or just in general?
(loud breaths)
That's how deep sea divers do it.
(glass slams)
- Lovely, you did that well.
- Hey, it gets much better the second time around.
- Question four.
- Yeah.
- How much revenue do you need--
- Shut up -- B.
- That was actually right.
- Oh, was it?
- Yeah.

- Ah, we have to break the touch barrier.
Ha, ha, look we have two shots
and now we're touching arms. - We're friends.
(loud laughing)
- Wait 'til you see what happens next.
- Wait 'til you see what happens when the cameras turn off.
No, I'm gonna go home.
That's, you know ...

He's got (loud beep) in his pocket.
- I'm gonna get fired.

Why is that a layup?
- In America, we call that a layup.
That's basketball.
- Well, in Canada, we call that a hat trick.
Three shots in a row.
