0:00.0	Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylif Jesse Thorn. We're in chambers this week
0:08.0	clearing the docket. And with me is a man who needs no chair because he's sitting on a pile of
0:13.6	skymiles. Judge John Hodgman. That's true. I did have a, you know, there were a lot of skymiles
0:20.9	that I had accumulated over our years of touring together in the Judge John Hodgman podcast
0:25.7	live show and other professional responsibilities and duties. Good one. Yeah, I know, right. But
0:34.8	the past, you know, for the past 18 months or so, 14, 15 months, I haven't been flying around. I'm

1:50.4	I mean, no disrespect to Bob Dylan. Dylan is a great musician. Of course.
1:54.6	I mean, an essential artist. The fact that I do not have the DNA receptor for Bob Dylan does not
2:00.0	mean that he is, that he is not an essential artist. I don't, I don't get it. Who are you to
2:06.5	complain? You have the DNA receptor for Tom Waitz? Well, that's what I was going to say.
2:10.4	Nobel laureate of my heart. Let's get into the docket. Here's a case from Mike and Kansas.
