All right, my friends, good evening, good evening.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your Wednesday night live.

Sorry, I was going to do video, but the camera just said,

Steph, you're too damn handsome.

It's not possible.

I can't process this level of clavicular style perfection,

so it has actually picked up its skirts and left in search of less handsome

visages, which apparently it says it can find everywhere, except, of course, where I am.

So that's a technical challenge I'm going to have to figure out.

So I wanted to talk a little bit about, you know, there's this stuff that's floating around

at the moment, which is that the U.S. government or other governments are talking about space aliens.

We're going to get a space aliens on.

And guys, guys, guys.

It's cute, you know, this idea that there's Clayons and rambulans and Vulcans and all of this kind of stuff, all scattered throughout the galaxy,

and you can fly around and faster than light and all of that.

I mean, just the odds of any civilization being anywhere close to where we are in the 14-plus

billion years of the universe, that's, you know, four billion

years of life or whatever it is. The idea that we'd be anywhere close in development is crazy,

because, you know, in the Star Trek universe, everyone's kind of similar in their levels

of development. That's not going to happen. We're going to come across single-celled organisms

or maybe some plants and maybe some tiny bugs or trilobites or whatever

it is, but we're not going to come across other humanoid creatures similar in development
