Hey there, weather friends.

Hi, everyone.

This is Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

And we are just the zoo of us, your favorite animal review podcast, where we take your favorite species of animals.

And we review them and rate them out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

We are experts in many things, but zoology is not one of them.

That's true.

We do a lot of research, and we do our best to make sure that we're presenting you

really good information from really trustworthy sources, and we always cite those sources, so you know where

our information is coming from. You know we're not just making this stuff up. Well, we're making the

numbers up. The numbers part is arbitrary. We made that stuff up. I mean, we didn't create the number

system. We did. Actually, numbers didn't exist before us. We invented the numerical scale.

We got lazy and decided to make some numbers just upside down version of other numbers.

Some people call them negatives.

I meant like nine and six, but okay.

That's the dumbest joke we've ever made

on this whole show.

We're 19 episodes in,

and that was the stupidest thing

either one of us has ever said.

So yeah, we cite our sources.
