Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylif Jesse Thorne. We're clearing the

docket this week in Chambers. Sitting alongside me, the great Judge John Hodgman. How

are you, Judge Hodgman? Well, I'm fine, but I will not play along with your lie that

I'm sitting beside you. I wish I were, Jesse, because I always enjoy sitting beside you.

It's not a lie. It's a metaphor. Okay. That's fair enough. All metaphors are lies, by the

way. That's why they're illegal. And Judge Hodgman, you know, when there was one set of footprints,

that's when you were carrying me. Yes. And you know what? You are, you're a tall fella, but

surprisingly light. Yeah. I'm actually in my summertime Chambers here at WERU FM 89.9 on your FM

dial in Blue Hill main. Technically we're in Orland main. I'm here with our fantastic guest

engineer Joel. Joel, how are you? Great. Great to be back with you, Judge. I know. Well, I had to go

down in New York and I did some summertime courts down there, but it's better to be back here in the

in WERU community radio and community supported radio. Is that not so? That is very much so. All right,

Joel. And one last question, Joel. You're going to be playing some jazz down in Stonington this year.

We'll be down in Castine at the Pentagon in every Tuesday from five to eight. All through the

summer through September. Oh, okay. Oh, so plenty of time. If you're if you're in with

in driving distance of Castine and if you're in North America, you are. Go check out Joel.

Joel, what instrument do you play again? Bass. Bass in the name of the group is Night and Day,

a jazz trio. A jazz tree. Sacks guitar. Bass. Oh, vocals. Oh, okay. Well, great. Bass. Do you do the vocals?

Back up. You do backup. Is there a lot of scat singing? Do you do a lot of scats on? The guitar

player does. Okay. Yeah. Let's let me know when he's taken. I'll come down and see the show. Okay.

Man, I got a question for Joel. You know, I worked I worked for years in community radio. So

my question is how many DJs at your station bring their dog? Well, we have a rule against that.
