Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylor F. Jessie Thorn. We're in chambers

0:06.7

this week and we are clearing the docket. With me, as always, Judge Brother No. 1, Judge

0:14.9

John Hodgman.

0:15.9

AKA a little docket because I love to clear that docket. Those are you don't remember

left over. Our TV is 70 inches and on a full swivel mount, holy cow. Wow, all right. That's

1:59.1

like a power forward. So I don't buy the viewing angle argument and he dances and jumps
