Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm summertime fun time guest Baylor,

Monty Belmonti from WRSI Radio and North Hampton, Massachusetts, sitting in for Jesse Thorn.

We are in chambers this week to clear the docket. And now the man who loves summer vacation so much,

he abandoned me in Massachusetts to live in vacation land, the honorable Judge John Hodg.

I did not abandon you Monty. You are. Yes, you did. Oh my goodness. No. You are, you are near and dear to me in my heart,

just not in my commonwealth anymore. You know what I mean? True. But even though, even though I have left

Western Massachusetts for the most part, I have two things to say. One, we're gonna, we're gonna do a holiday show at the

show in Turner's Falls, right? Yes, let's come up with a date soon. So long as precautions allow it, we will do a live show at the

show in December. And two, yeah, I'm not in Massachusetts anymore, but am I not still in New England? Our larger region?

Is there any other place in the world? Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island. That's it, right, Joel?

What about Connecticut? I didn't hear you there, Joel. What's going on? What about Connecticut? I'm not getting it. Some wrong here at WRU. I know it's not in New York. Yeah.

Some wrong here at WRU.org, the solar power studios where I remain for one final last holiday weekend. And it's wonderful to be joined here by Joel,

man, WRU Jennifer Marmer there in Los Angeles. Two quarters, one half of the J squad, including me, John Hodgman and honorary J squad member, Mr. Monti,

Joe Monti. I've changed your last name. Wait, there was J, it was like J squad and Lil Monti or something like that.

That's right. J, so the J squad and Lil Monti. All right, welcome back, welcome back Lil Monti, the J squad summertime, fun time, bailiff, over there in North

Hampton, Massachusetts, although, although it is Labor Day weekend or the start there of here in Maine, which means we're in our fourth week of autumn here in Maine. Yeah,

temperatures have dropped precipitously. I am wearing my Puffy vest for this special all New England edition of the Judge John Hodgman podcast. And even though it's terrible for Mike, I'm not taking it off. Listen to it. That's my Puffy

vest. You know what I mean? Joel, are you wearing your longer shorts yet? Is it cold enough yet to wear your longer shorts? I'm still wearing shorts regular shorts. Where'd you park today, Joel?

Over by the solar power. Why? Why did you park over by the solar panels today? There's a little more there. There's a little known thing called reflective solar power.

You're going to get you mean your powering your your Kia off of the solar panels. I'm hoping to. Yeah, all right, good luck with you. Thanks.

You know, Monty, this is the last time I'll be recording here at W. U. R. U. in Orland, Maine for a while. And Joel brought me a little gift. And I'm going to open it on the air.

Oh, it's a little you guys can see me. It's a little blue. It's a little blue gift bag. Joel, this is very nice of you. I didn't get you anything.
