Hey, everybody, it's Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

We're here with just the zoo of us.

This is our 100th episode.

Oh, I didn't bring my party popper in here.

If this is your first time joining us, this is not a great episode for you to start with.

No.

Usually we review animals and rate them out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics, but that's not what we're doing this week. Nope. Not at all. No. This week we're kicking it and chilling with some questions from our listeners. Always fun. Yeah, because I feel like the listeners are really what make the show, you know? For sure. It's the reason we do it. It is. We keep showing up every week. Well, I keep showing up every week. Me every... Sometimes. Every once in a while. You pop in from time to time. Yep. But as much as I love talking to you about animals, it's for the, for the listeners.

It is.

It's for all of you.

And so this week, it's more of a two-way conversation because y'all submitted some

awesome questions to us on social media.

So we'll be answering them today.

Oh, and you know what?

Last year, we did a Q&A episode for our first anniversary.

And at that Q&A episode, I did a little update where I talked about like how the show

was doing and how things were going.

At that update, I want to see we were like right around 20,000 listens to the podcast.

We're currently at 78,000 listens.

Nice.

Yeah.

So quite a lot of growth.
