Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylif Jesse Thorn, where in Chambers this

week, clearing the docket with me as always is the world's tallest man, Judge John Hodgman.

Jesse Thorn, you know what I say to that introduction? Who cares that I'm here because there

is someone else here? Yes, yes. I mean, we're going to fight to introduce this person.

She is a hero to both of us. Of course. An unstoppable, funny comedian. I think it's

Amelia Earhart. That's your guess. That's right. Yes. So far. Okay. We'll find out. John, keep

going. She's saying Amelia Earhart. You know her from wait, wait, don't tell me, but what

you don't know. Sorry, John. I think it's probably Amelia Bidelia. Go ahead, John. Oh, you

were so close. We got two votes for Amelia's. But when you don't know, that show is edited

edit out is usually 40 to 50 minutes of pure comedy gold. I sat there back when they let

sit in the audience for an extra 30 minutes while this person rift did 30 minutes of honestly

please welcome Paula Poundstone. Paul, it's a joy to have you on this. Well, thank you.

So much. What a lovely introduction. Thank you. Now, I have to ask you this, Paul, before

we get into the docker, we're clear the docker in just a second, but it's not often that

you get a comedy legend on your program. And of course, you have the maximum podcast.

Nobody listens to Paula Poundstone. So, you know, I'd like to think that we can give you

a call and invite you over to come on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's not often that the occasion

for a comedy legend coming on your podcast is the release of a candy bar themed rap
