Can I just ask you a question? Because we saw your guitar floating around in space there. What happened to that guitar? Where is it? Because that is a remarkable and unique guitar. It's a Canadian guitar made by Larry Vay by John Larry Veo in Vancouver.

I was really pleased to find it on board the space station. It had been up there since 2001. It has had 70,000 world tours! That guitar has been around the world seventy thousand times.

That your guitar, is it still up? No, it belongs to the space station and it's been up there, and it's still up there now. It is part of our psychological support, and it stays up on station for all the guitar astronaut musicians.

Well, we knew that both you and Kevin are guitar enthusiasts, so we asked you to bring your guitar. And Kevin has his here, and we're hoping that... Right, alright, let us through to the commercial.

We're back with more of the show, but for now, we want to listen to something. And I want to hear you say something: The food is monotonous, there's nothing to drink, and chicks don't come here. What? You sit there, but I fire the rockets.

That is a blast! Throw out the dishes, and I never cut the grass 'cause I'm here, I'm on top. Tired taking the time, get back; got the world on a string. It's people.
