0:00.0	Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorn. And I'm your judge,
0:07.0	John Hodgman. This week's episode was recorded in my home Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the
0:11.7	Wilbur Theatre in Boston. We have special musical guest, Josh Cantor, the organist at Fenway
0:20.8	Park. Among many other projects, he plays also with the baseball project and many other bands.
0:28.0	But Josh is a kind man of virtuosic musician and he stopped by to play organ both before and

2:10.5	Why do we care about podcasting? It is rich and beautiful. It helps us to better understand
2:27.0	Euclidean geometry. It also helps to understand shapes in nature and helps us to think about the
2:33.3	shape of our universe, the problem that has puzzled people for thousands of years and still
2:40.0	is an open question. Fail of Jessy Thorn, please swear the litigants in. Kristen and Jess, please rise
2:45.8	and raise your right hands. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
