The Michael Berry Show

Hey, it's a mmm on to celebrate my favorite plan that's big day today. I want it. What's that? On the phone now? Huh. All right. Let's go to the phones. We have Uranus. Uranus. Welcome to the show. Oh joy, Earth Day, how delightful.

Hello, Puny Earthlings, it's me Uranus.

The planet nobody talks about until they need a punchline.

Uranus, why the sour mood, aren't you excited to be part of the cosmic celebration?

Excited. Ha! I'm just here to remind everyone that while Earth flaunts its trees's trees and animals.

I'm the forgotten stepchild of the solar system.

No rings, check.

No fancy name check.

Don't even get me started on my weather.

But your rain, surely you have some redeeming qualities.

Oh, sure. I've got ice, lots of ice.

So if you ever feel like freezing your behind off, come visit Uranus.

We'll throw an iceberg party.

It does sound refreshing.

What about the lack of human presence on Uranus?

Exactly.

No annoying human tourists taking selfies, just me, floating in the void, wondering why I got stuck with the name that makes everyone giggle.

Well, Uranus, you may not be everyone's favor, but you certainly bring a unique perspective to this Earth Day circus.

Thanks, I guess. So, for all your earthlings out there, enjoy your trees and butterflies,

and if you ever want a taste of cosmic indifference, Uranus is just a space shuttle away.

Thank you Uranus for gracious us with your cosmic charm.
