Summary

Elisabeth and Melissa are good friends and enthusiastic travelers, who often journey together on planes and in cars across the country. While their traveling styles mesh for the most part, they are divided on a hot-button issue: the correct way to de-plane once you've arrived at your destination. Elisabeth, who prefers to take the aisle seat, believes that the aisle-sitter bears some burden of judgment, and may choose to wait a reasonable amount of time before stepping into the aisle, without asking permission of his or her seatmates. Melissa, on the other hand, is frequently a window-seater, and believes that people should abide by the "row by row" rule as a general rule. WHO IS RIGHT, and WHO IS WRONG? Only Judge Hodgman can decide.

0:00.0	It's Judge John Hodgman here, Chris Baylor-Jesse, oh that's ready, it's on paternity leave.
0:07.6	Luckily, we have special guest, Baylor-Jake Tapper, Senior White House correspondent for ABC News. Hello, Jake.
0:14.7	Judge Hodgman, let me just say it's a distinct honor and a pleasure to be able to be Baylor for you.
0:21.3	I'm sorry that your other Baylor is unavailable, but I'm quite certain that I'll be able to fill in shoes.
0:26.8	This is a good operation, we have a lot of benefits here, Judge John Hodgman from the Court of Judge John Hodgman.
0:31.8	Jesse gets to take up to 10 weeks of paternity leave, I get to take up to 35 weeks of non-podcasting vacation,
0:40.6	and I get my choice of Senior White House correspondent as guest bailiffs, so it's a pretty good deal for me.
0:46.7	And my understanding was that you were looking only network, and you didn't want facial hair,
0:53.2	but you did want a male, and that leaves me. That's why I'm really pissed, because Norrodal, the CVS,
0:58.2	and Chuck Patton, both of you are in any state. Yeah, I worked the flow chart, and you were what was left.
1:03.3	Do you volunteer your services, I believe? I think you volunteered your services through contempt on Twitter or something.
1:11.2	It wasn't contempt, it just had to be frank, in this media age, in the diversify,
1:17.0	in its core possibilities, and to be quiet on it, it wouldn't look like it would be all that difficult.
1:21.2	Yeah, I think you said something along the line to tell me you're sent this story, because that's,
1:25.2	and then I'll be the judge, and that's how we do it here.
1:27.3	I saw you, we follow each other on Twitter, we've never done Twitter.
1:31.4	We've only spoken for the very first time, we've spoken just a few minutes ago,
1:37.2	just to make sure that this guy worked properly, and in my case, it is.
1:41.7	In your case, you're talking through a, I think, a pillowcase in a hotel room somewhere in Minnesota,
