I want you to know that I do have standards when it comes to the show.

Don't get me wrong.

It is very, very minimal standards.

And it's basically I have a set of notes.

I wouldn't even call it a script.

It's a few bullet points.

And then I ad lib it based on my research for the show.

And then it's up to my amazing heroic editor, Kathy Ronella, to make me sound somewhat

reasonably coherent.

So I was developing another show.

I had planned this episode to be totally devoted to the idea of quantum entanglement.

And it was going to be awesome because it's a really, really cool concept with lots of intricate

physics.

But as I was prepping it, I was reading as I was taking my

notes it just I wasn't liking the metaphors I wasn't like the direction I was going in I couldn't

come up with any good jokes even bad ones especially bad ones and I decided to pause it

and I'm and I decided to put it off. Maybe next month,

maybe six months, maybe like 10 years from now. I don't know when I'm going to get back to when

I'm going to feel happy with the subject of quantum entanglement. So I thought instead I just do

something fun and lighthearted and easy like, I don't know, quark stars.

And I guess when it comes to the world of Aska Spaceman, cork stars qualify as fun and lighthearted

entertainment.
