Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bayliffe Jesse Thorne. We're in chambers

0:08.3

this week clearing the docket with me as always. The most beautiful man in jurisprudence,

0:17.2

Judge John Hodgman. Well, now wait a minute. That, uh, uh, uh, Merrick Garland is quite

0:23.4

a looker. That's true. Still technically a judge. They didn't take it away from him.

0:28.5

Fair point. Also joining us this week to help clear the docket, a friend of mine and an

1:51.8

the Cajun spice rub that is mostly salt that you were rubbing in my wounds. But the truth is,

1:58.6

I love the flop house. I've guessed it on the flop house. I'm a fan of the flop seas. And I've
