@jamieloftusHELP Not to be the lame-o who ruins the joke (which is funny, of course) but just in case they didn’t explain it to you, a 5/9 BCS is a way of saying he’s in great shape! Not too skinny or too bulky, just right to keep his lil joints happy!! Middle BCS is where you want a critter!!

update: the vet called him ugly

long story: casper ate wrapping paper and had to go to the ER today, he’s fine and we’re so glad he’s home. the vet thought he looked so cute before his xray that she took a pic short story: i think casper looks like julianne moore here

@jamieloftusHELP I’ve worked with tons of species, including pygmy hippos!

@jamieloftusHELP I’m a zookeeper!!

hello, hoping to make a minisode for sixteenth minute about moo deng and viral zoo animals, but have had trouble finding a solid animal expert with zookeeping experience or animal-focused social media manager to talk to. is there anyone who comes to mind, ive been striking out!

@alexsteed Absolutely, and in a field as insanely insular as zoos, it truly never fails to surprise me how people who shovel shit for a living don’t know not to shit where they eat

@alexsteed Just as one would imagine, the shenanigans at the bar during zoo conferences are truly next level……

@youaregoodpod Would love one if you have any to spare??

We have 5 invite codes to the other place.

An important time to point out this delightful song, performed by returning You are Good guest Glenn Yarbrough who did the music from the 77 Hobbit covered on the patreon! This whole album is absolutely incredible, but a very relevant track to start: youtu.be/A3-NfdYyf0M

Before the platform tanks, wanted to let @katystoll @countrycaravan and @drmistercody know if you’re holiday shopping for @SomeMoreNews, July 18-24th is National Zookeeper Week! Love caring for my kids while appreciating y’all’s great work!!

@yourewrongabout @lmillernpr It’s Pride so as a gay trans zookeeper I’m legally allowed to force everyone to listen to this INCREDIBLE episode, thank you so much for putting it out into the world, a beautiful celebration of so many of my truest loves!!

@youaregoodpod Softball from the zookeeper, but favorite animals? I’d never be cruel enough to limit to one

Do you have any questions for us? We're going to answer some of them on this month's bonus episode!

@swordsjew Take care, have my painted dog girl Macite having an ice treat!

something personally rather devastating happened can you send pics of your dogs

@youaregoodpod An absolutely deep cut, but it was very helpful when it was my boss’s name, I still all the time from Young Guns II think “It ain’t your GANG, Dave”

What’s a line from a movie you saw as a kid that you still repeat often?

@quiddie @thetimes You couldn’t keep “lion” against “criminal” since they’re the same stat, I have pictures of one of my work charges taking out a surveillance system from the mauled camera itself, absolute reprobates always trying to commit shenanigans

How long until I see a Honey Heist hack for this? I just want to watch a table roar "NAUR!" for 3 hours. Please. I need it. ⚡️ “Five lions escape enclosure at Sydney zoo as campers sleep nearby” by @thetimes twitter.com/i/events/15878…

@KateLechler Poor pooch!! Definitely not a vet, so take this with all the grains of salt you like, but as someone with a dog who at least once a year sets up her camp on an ant hill and gets absolutely covered, that does look like what I’ve seen. Hope you both feel better soon!!

@alexsteed I grew up watching it and assumed it was a fever dream until I revisited it as an adult, what a delightful garbage fire

@KateLechler ‘m still undone / I’m not quite young / But IiiiiIII I still try / Cross my heart now I hope to die (Orville Peck owns me heart and SOUL)

@whyaredads Y’all coming for my grim little apple eating child self RELENTLESSLY (and I adore it)

In case you were wondering, "Will the next Why Are Dads? Patreon bonus episode be about The Last Unicorn," the answer is yes it will be.

@whyaredads re this weeks bonus episode (I’m thriving) is there any bigger dad energy than Gandalf’s constant re/disappearances, plus his “Now now, I’m already late because of bothering with you people” before shoving them into a perilous trek through Mirkwood alone??

@whyaredads The show’s such an unmitigated delight, it’s so wonderful getting to listen to people so engagingly and sincerely talk about feelings through the lens (especially in lockdown) that we get a lot of our feelings, the media we love! The episode drop is always a highlight of my week

Big, big, big love to y'all for supporting, by listening, engaging us here, telling folks about us, leaving reviews, via Patreon, or however. We truly cannot thank you enough for coming along on this journey. We're so glad you're here.

@Remember_Sarah If you’ve already got a Smaug that is a perfect malevolent kitty cat, you could never need anything else, and 10 year old me who compulsively rented that VHS from the library was and still is right

I can't believe we went through that whole Hobbit debacle when there's already a perfect(ly insane) version out there youtube.com/watch?v=Y30LAj…
