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

this week clearing the docket with me this week. The tallest man in the NBA Judge John

Hodgman. I'm actually five, ten and a half, which is totally normal size. Pretty much

average. But you know what, Jesse, I must say I feel 30 feet tall because I've just gotten

back from going in airplanes around the country presenting my book Medallion status to various

wonderful cities of this nation. I was so excited and thrilled by the turnout. Thank you

to all my famous corgis, all my double corgis, all my triple corgialetes for coming out

and supporting Medallion status. It was a real thrill to see everybody there. Of course,

not quite over this weekend. I'm going to Saint Paul to join the WITS radio show reunion

and the Chicago Humanities Festival. And then of course, Jesse, you and I are going on

the road with Judge John Hodgman in early November. So if you haven't yet had a chance to

come out and get your famous corgipin, come see us on the road, johnhodgman.com slash
