Judge John Hodgman15 Jan 2025

New Year, New Systems

We are starting the year by clearing the docket! How many dishtowels does one need in the kitchen? What is the correct pronunciation of aluminum? And can you buy books from [redacted] if your partner is a librarian? Let's discuss. Throughout the years, we've had many a weird dad come through this courtroom with their special systems for doing the dishes or maximizing solar power. It's a new year, so maybe it's time for some of these systems to be put to rest.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on the LA residents of the J Squad and MaxFun. We are safe and doing as ok as possible right now. If you want to give some money to support the fire rescue and recovery efforts, a good place to give is the California Community Foundation. You can find them at calfund.org. If you want to help a family directly impacted, our beloved former colleague Ibarionex Perello and his wife Cynthia lost their home in the Eaton Fire. You can help them by contributing to their GoFundMe.

Jesse and Theresa Thorn's fundraiser to help migrants trapped at the Mexico-US border is still going! They've blown past their initial goal, thanks to our generous audience. Can we make it to $150,000 before JJHo: Road Court ends? Visit alotrolado.org/letsdosomething to help.

We are on TikTok and YouTube! Follow us on both @judgejohnhodgmanpod! Follow us on Instagram @judgejohnhodgman.
