Get ready for a fresh start to the year with the Judge John Hodgman Podcast as we dive into a docket-clearing episode! This time around, we’re tackling some of life’s most pressing (and delightfully ridiculous) disputes. Ever wondered about the truly necessary quantity of kitchen dishtowels? Or perhaps you’ve pondered the definitive pronunciation of “aluminum”? And what about the ethics of buying books from a certain online retailer when your partner is a librarian? Fear not, dear listeners, as Judge John Hodgman is here to preside over these crucial matters and deliver his verdicts.
In this episode, we revisit the classic “weird dad” archetype that often graces the courtroom of the Judge John Hodgman Podcast. We’ve all encountered those uniquely quirky systems, whether it’s about hyper-efficient dishwashing techniques or maximizing household solar power. As a new year begins, it’s the perfect moment to re-examine some of these elaborate systems and decide if they still hold up under the scrutiny of Judge Hodgman’s discerning gavel.
Beyond the courtroom proceedings, we also want to extend our heartfelt thoughts to everyone affected by recent events. To our listeners in Los Angeles and within the MaxFun community, we are relieved to report that we are safe amidst the recent challenges. If you’re looking for ways to contribute to fire rescue and recovery efforts, we recommend the California Community Foundation at calfund.org. For those wishing to directly support a member of our extended podcast family, our former colleague Ibarionex Perello and his wife Cynthia tragically lost their home in the Eaton Fire. You can offer your support through their GoFundMe campaign.
Continuing our commitment to important causes, Jesse and Theresa Thorn’s fundraiser to assist migrants at the Mexico-US border is still active and making a significant impact. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our audience, they’ve surpassed their initial fundraising goal. Let’s see if we can reach $150,000 before JJHo: Road Court concludes!
