Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I am bailiff Jesse Thorne. We're in chambers this week to clear the docket. With me as my friend Judge John Hodgman. Hi, John. Jesse Thorne, hello. Today we have a very special docket. It is all on the topic of shopping. Now, you have a shop. Put this on shop.com,

right? I do indeed. And I go shopping regularly. And you go regularly shopping for for clothes, correct?

I go shopping for clothes. I go shopping for small items. I go to estate sales, flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores.

John, not to brag, but just recently, I went to a drug store to go shopping for antibiotics.

Yes, that's right, folks.

I have just a little bit of pneumonia right now. So if you hear a rattle, it's just the liquid in my chest. You have just a little scooch, a little scooch of the nymones. a little bit still in there, sloshing around a little tiny bit.

Gosh.

I'm feeling a lot better.

I was very ill for about four or five days.

Thought I had the flu.

It turns out I had some kind of respiratory infection.

Go get your vaccines.

Go take care of yourself.

There's stuff going around.

You don't want to get that nimoans. That's awful. And I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better. But it did give you a chance to go to the drugstore where I like to sometimes peruse and browse for toothpaste.

I took the advantage of the opportunity, John, to buy some leftover Easter candy. So I'm doing great now.

Oh, I got some Whoppers eggs. I love a Wopper's egg. I haven't had a Wopper's Malted Milkball or a Malteseer in a long time. Both are very good. Maybe I ought to go shopping. When you go shopping,

Jesse Thorne, how does it make you feel?

Makes me feel like a king.

My favorite place to go shopping, John, it's going to be Costco all the way.

And you know me as a major Costco celebrity as featured in Costco Connection magazine.

Sure.
