The

The Hey there, everybody. It's Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

And we're both back with just the zoo of us, your favorite animal review podcast, where we take your favorite animals and we review them out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

We are not zoological experts, but we do a lot of research and we try our best to make sure we're presenting information from trustworthy sources.

And Christian's back. I am. You have not been heard on this podcast for about four

episodes now. You took a little bit of a holiday break. I would say we both did. You know,

we were both not recording new episodes during that time. But it's so good to have you back. You've

been sorely missed. It's good to be back. I say you've been missed. I haven't missed you. I still live with you. I see every day. While I've been missing from the magic, I've been mere feet from the magic happening. It's true. Like, what you can't hear in the guest episodes is you watching the baby in the background.

Just running around.

Screaming from both of us.

You actually may be able to hear a little bit of it.

If you listen with the volume really high, you can probably hear it sometimes.

Christian's really been here all along just in the background.

The Phantom of the podcast.

Yep. If you play it backwards, you'll hear me screaming in backwards.

Well, we've had a lot to scream about over the last four weeks.

It has been a time.

It's been turbulent, but listen, we're here.

We're back in the saddle with another great episode.

Yeah.

It's going to be really good.
