Hodgman’s birthday

Last year I was noodling the song “I am the very model of a modern major general” as a JJH parody. “He is the very model of a modern fake judge podcast host” or something like that. I had a good few lines down, but have since lost the scrap of paper I was writing that on. This was completely forgotten until this week when I was introducing my kids to the Pirates of Penzance musical.

Now it’s in my head again, and I recalled that Hodgman Actual’s birthday is Wednesday (6/3). So I’m throwing it out to the hive mind as perhaps a birthday gift to John to get a couple of verses written.

Anyone want to start?

He is the very model of a modern fake judge podcast host,
He settles petty arguments concerning things folks value most,
From thermostats and tupperware to rivalries on family trips,
He renders solemn verdicts with a thousand truths upon his lips.
