Hey folks, we have a treat for you. And you already got an email about this if you are a maximum

fun member. In the latest Max Fun Drive, you all put so much support into our show. We were able to

pay an artist to make commemorative digital art to celebrate the 250th episode of the show. That

art is ready right now. It is in the Boko Vault. You should also have an email if you're a member with a link to go see it.

If you're not a member, you can also go ahead and get that art as well as previous digital

art for previous milestone SIF episodes.

There's a special unique character celebrating each and every episode of our entire run.

So it's really just a wonderful cartoony collidoscope

of everything we've done. Maximumfund.org slash join is the place to support our show, make the

entire thing possible. Maximumfund.org slash join. Thank you. Echidnas. Known for being animals,

famous for being hedgehog-shaped animals.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why Echidnas are secretly incredibly fascinating.

Music Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more

interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined

by my host, Katie Golden, Katie. Yes. What is your relationship to or opinion of echinis?

I love them. That's how it is. We're in a very loving relationship.

I love everything about these weird little guys.

They're so funky.

They look like something out of a surrealist painting.

And they are truly very weird in terms of their anatomy and how they work as animals.

You know, thumbs up Australia.
