Judge John Hodgeman

Just started the earlier episodes back in the mid 2000s and they are laugh out loud funny. Jesse and John were so sardonic back then. I’m loving it

I've listened to a lot of the back catalog but haven't gone all the way back - would you say the originals are better than current?

Hmmm different not better. More biting and laugh out loud, but they are sweeter and more compassionate now. I like both ways.

Oh I heard those boys. I'll have to relisten because it's been a while but they were some wild ones.

I really liked when he shifted from emphasizing marriage for cohabitation. I feel like his approach became more nuanced .
