Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bail of Jesse Thorn. This week, Persona

immediate summary judgment in one of your favors. Can either of you name the piece of culture that I

So, Cameron, happy birthday, but Shuka, you go first.

Very specific. I like that guess. It's a strong guess. I love a dated guess.
