This particular episode is dedicated to Karl Garner Jr.

You may recall that Karl Garner Jr. was the student of a listener named Eric Little in Kentucky

who gained some attention for writing an essay about why a hot dog is not a sandwich.

He unfortunately, we learned, died due to gun violence in Kentucky.

I just learned about it today. You can read about it by searching his name, Karl Garner Jr.

There's an article about it in the Kentucky Herald leader.

It's a very sad situation. I don't have very many details.

And Eric Little has promised to help us create some opportunity for you to express your sympathies if you wish to.

And as soon as we have those details, I will let you know. But in the meantime, I just wanted to say thank you to Karl and his family.

We are thinking of you and we're very sorry for this loss.

Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylif Jesse Thorn. This week, Duplo Jeopardy.

Caleb brings the case against his friend Ryan.

Caleb's ready to get rid of his Lego collection. Ryan thinks he should keep it in storage.

Ryan says even though Caleb thinks he's ready to let it go, he'll later regret parting with these sets.

Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide.

Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents an obscure cultural reference.
