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

Chambers this week. How are you, Judge Hodgman? Well, Jesse Thorn are regular,

springtime fall time, wintertime Baelif. Coming back in from your summer

vacation. Maybe you're not taking a vacation. This is my summer vacation to

Judge Hodgman. I get to join you in Maine, eat up all your lobsters, and look at

the leaves change. I don't know a lot about Maine. You know more than you realize

because, hey, I am in Maine. B, we have a lot of lobsters here. You couldn't

possibly eat them all. It's a glut of lobsters right now up in Maine. And C, you

could watch the leaves change because the beauty of Maine is fall time starts

August first. Yeah. I thought of a fourth thing that I could do in Maine, which is

sun myself on your cold, rocky, inhospitable beaches. Yeah, you could hurt, you

could hurt your back by lying down on a beach and sunning yourself for the two

hours of sunlight we get now that it's August. That's what makes a main

summer so terrific. It helps you. It's a great vacation if you are a person like

me who secretly believes he doesn't deserve pleasure. You can hear a lot more

about this when you come and see me on tour. When I talk about Maine, Massachusetts

and my lack of pleasure on my vacation land tour, which is coming up this

fall. I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again, John Hodgman dot

com slash tour. Thanks for opening the door for a little plug there, Jesse. Of

course, I saw that show. I was looking enough to see that show in an early stage

here in Los Angeles. This is a really beautiful show. I think people should

really take the time out to go see John Hodgman as they've never seen him before.
