Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. It's me, your Judge John Hodgman.

Here to tell you that this week's episode was recorded live at the Bell House in Brooklyn,

where I live. Now this week our musical guest is Karcie Blanton. Karcie's an amazing singer-songwriter,

she's so much fun, her performances were great, but if you are listening with children,

Karcie and I also discuss the card game she invented called Bango, which is a little bit about

Still, they're colleagues. Identical colleagues, Angel Fine. They laugh a like, they walk a like,

at times they even talk a like, you can lose your mind when court colleagues are two of a kind.

Dale and Jesse Thornton swear them in. Stella Jordan, please raise your right hands. Do you swear to

tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God or whatever?

Yes, I do. I do. Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling, despite the fact that he
