I will be the first to admit not writing a script before this episode and the past two episodes is not really a good idea... But anyway, here is one monologue about the Harry Meghan interview, Piers Morgan (briefly), US Biden bills, cancel culture, and the China-Russia moon deal. The main stories will be about the three successful Mars missions, then about COVID restriction relaxing and vaccine issues, and finally a brief notice on asteroid prevention. This is all recorded at one time, with no editing, no planning, no scripts, just a directly out-of-my-mind episode while I run around my room.
