| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:23.2 | when I did this before. Tim Meadows, one of the great deadpan comedians of all time, did |
| 0:30.0 | a thing on Sarah and I live years ago where he was claiming on weekend update in an interview |
| 0:38.5 | that he was a huge fan of hockey, which the joke being that he is an African American person |

| 1:37.0 | because it offers the best view of the TV. It can't argue with that logic. He also says |
| 1:43.1 | that he should conserve his strength because he'll live longer than me and he wants energy |
| 1:47.4 | 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 |
| 2:06.2 | and climbs walls all day. So I don't think he's at risk of running out of energy. I think |
