This episode originally aired as the Patreon bonus episode for July 2019. The original description follows:

So I really wanted this song to turn out super country but then I started going through effects for my keyboard and guitar and...I got lost in space.  So. Many. Synthesizers.  For inspiration, I basically just listened to Mordin vs. Spock and ctrl + F'd our episode summaries for the word "space."  There was a lot of material.  My lyrics make no sense just like my Space Judge persona.  Also, the inexplicable train whistle.  Why...
 
For the actual music writing side of it, this song has a LOT of tracks.  Two vocal tracks, four guitar tracks, one drum track, and three synth tracks.  Space is pretty big so the song needed to be too!  The more I think about it, this song goes through a billion different genres.  My voice and acoustic guitar are desperately screaming "THIS IS COUNTRY" but everything else screams "THIS IS A ROCK CONCERT IN SPACE" and honestly, I think I am OK with that and I hope you are too.

Lyrics:
 
*Space Judge*
 
I am the Space Judge,
And I cross all worlds in search of the dumb.
My favorite thing to argue about,
is how I would punch you out.
*Ah shit I'm supposed to be the judge, dammit!*
 
You'll see me coming from outer space,
to render judgment in a case,
No matter who it is or what they are,
But they all should be set in space.
 
Space fights, space jokes
Space plights, space blokes
I wish my car was a battlestar
'cause I could go so far off the deep end
INTO SPACE.
 
*Space Judge, I am the Space Judge*
 
*Train whistle*
 
Yeah, that was my ship's horn, be jealous.
 
My other hosts have judged from space,
and they kept up my lightning pace.
 
But I am the Space Judge.
It's where I get my fix,
And play my greatest tricks.
Don't worry, just trust me, it won't be that bad.
 
Maybe.
