0:00.0 | Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Pailiff Jesse Thorn. This week, the glass |
0:07.6 | action lawsuit. Dan Files sued against his girlfriend, Jessica. Jessica has a pair of |
0:13.5 | low grade prescription eyeglasses. She prefers not to wear them. She says they're not attractive. |
0:19.7 | Dan says she's missing out on life by refusing to wear the glasses. Who's right? Who's |
0:25.4 | wrong? Only one man can decide. Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom |
