Hey there, friends. You know, lots of animals like cows, deer, and giraffes digest plant matter by

fermenting it in their foregut, regurgitating it, chewing it back up and eating it all over again in a

process called rumination. I think this just goes to show that some things really are best

savored the second time around. That being said, this week we are

re-releasing one of my very favorite classic episodes, number 64, Emu and Whale Shark, which

originally aired in August of 2020. It's one of my favorites because we got to talk about the

evolution, de-evolution, and re-evolution of flight, an actual military war

between humans and emus, resulting in a victory that you might not expect, eyeballs covered

with teeth. It is just a wild and spectacular ride. So we are playing this instead of a new

episode this week because we are really busy getting ready for

the Max Fun Drive. For loyal friends of Maximum Fun, you know what this is and are already

hyped for it, but for folks who may be new to it, this is the time of the year that the shows on

the network do some really fun and exciting and new things to both say thank you to our

supporting members and to invite folks in who maybe haven't signed up just quite yet. So this is

our first year participating on this side of the Max Fun Drive. So we are preparing some really

fun stuff behind the scenes. And one of the things we are preparing is a special Q&A episode.

If you have been with us a while, you may already know that we do them about once a year,

and we figured what better time for this year's than the Max Fun Drive? It gives us a chance to

hear from y'all and respond to some of your burning and often completely chaotic questions.

And it's also a really fun opportunity

for you, the listener, to be a part of the show for this special episode. So if you have any

questions about us or our podcasting journey or something that you've heard on the show,
