Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Dale of Jesse Thorn. This week's case,

Justice Extrooted, his Justice denied. Micah brings the case against his girlfriend,

Jenny, you are the defendant in this case, so you have the option to either guess first or make Micah

guess first. What are you going to choose? I'm going to let Micah guess first as he's as slightly

more nerdy as than I am, and I think he might have an idea of the answer.

So someone pointed out that this all goes back to the first Buehler controversy. When the guy

guessed the thing right, right away, and I gave it to him, and I didn't give the other person
