0:00.0	Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylor of Jesse Thorn. This week, exit
0:07.6	stage fright. Tom brings the case against his friend Trinity. Trinity longs to be discovered
0:14.3	and believes she was, quote, born for the theater, unquote. Despite her enthusiasm for
0:20.5	theater and performing, she refuses to try out community theater. He thinks she should
0:25.3	get over her fear and go for it. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide. Please
0:31.1	rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents the obscure cultural reference.

1:41.0	guess first. All right. That way you might get some information out of Tom's. I might. Erroneous
1:46.3	guess. I'm sure. Right, Tom? Because you wouldn't guess correctly even if you knew and shut down
1:52.1	this podcast before it even begins, would you? There are certain superstitions and conventions of
1:57.8	the podcast. You don't see the names of certain plays. You often talk in a completely bogus southern
