Hi everyone. This is Christian Weatherford.

And Alan Weatherford.

And you're listening to Just the Zoo of Us, an animal rating podcast.

Your voice sounds especially podcasty today.

It sounds really nice.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

Each animal that we review on the show, we will rate out of 10 based on three categories, effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

Christian and I are not zoological experts, but we do a lot of research.

We spend a lot of time getting our notes ready and making sure that we're presenting you trustworthy information from good, reliable sources.

Weekly social media polls go up on Wednesday.

Nobody else could see that, but Kristen did them on air quotes to make fun of me because this week I forgot to do it on Wednesday.

And it went up on Thursday.

But they go up eventually.

I'm going to edit these notes.

Put those in actual quotes.

But those go up in our Twitter and Facebook group and sometimes Instagram when I think about it.

Although it's hard because there's no words.

You just post up two pictures of animals and people have to get it.

I don't know how Instagram works.

I know.

That much is evident.
