It's the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorne. With me is my friend in

yours, Judge John Hodgman. And this week's episode recorded live in St. Paul, Minnesota, where we had

a monumentally good time, John. Before we even got to the stage, Jesse Thorne lived out a lifelong dream of petting a capybara on the head.

Not even one capybara, multiple capy baras.

John, forget the capy bars.

I hate to say it, but forget the capy bars because while we were sound checking

for this show on the stage of the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, I got a telephone call,

which I stepped away from the microphone to answer. Yeah. We had gone to a place called Sustainable Safari

to pet these capy bars. And I thought

we had so much fun petting these

capy bars and, of course, meeting the sloth,

Jennifer Slopez,

that I thought, I'll leave my phone number.

If anybody who works there wants free tickets

to the show, we had such a great time.

We're glad to put them on the list.

They can come to the show. Get had such a great time. We're glad to put them on the list. They can come to the show.

And get this phone call. I think maybe it's somebody, it's a Minnesota, it's Minnesota number.

I'm thinking maybe somebody is wanting to come to the show. So I step away from the microphone while

we're sound checking. I answer it. This woman says, hi, I'm the health care coordinator for sustainable safari.

So, oh, great. We were just there. We had such a nice time. Would you like to come to the show?

And she said, sure. And she said, it just so happens that I have a couple of baby kangaroos living in my house right now.
