Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorn, where in Chambers

this week clearing the docket and with me is the man they call the Shammy King, Judge

John Hodgman.

I'm a Shammy King because of this comfy overshoot that I'm wearing.

Yeah, and also because you're so good at drying off cars without leaving water spots.

That's true. That's true. I don't leave a mark. I don't leave a mark. No one will ever

know that I existed on this earth. That's absolutely true.

You're leaving a mark on our hearts, John. A dark mark on our hearts.

I came and I smoothed some things over. And in generations to come, no one will know

what happened.

This is the part of the show, by the way, that in our script says Hodgman and then in

brackets, talks, period, close bracket.

Which would be Hodgman and Jesse Thorn talk, period. I don't know where the brackets

go in that because after all Jesse, you are my friend and bailiff. We missed you very

much. I missed you. Over the past couple of weeks. Of course, last week we all took a break

as is everyone needs you from time to time. And the week before that, you weren't feeling

so good. My grain wise, I hope your your head is feeling as okay as possible today.

Nope. No, no, I'm sorry. Let's go. Let's do it. Let's power through.

Well, I'm very, very glad you're here along with Jennifer Marmer. Thank you, John. Here's

a case from Robert. I recently discovered my foot odor has become more putrid. I attempted

to address the situation by changing my socks on a daily basis.

I didn't know what.
