00:00:02 Jesse Thorn Host Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman Podcast 00:00:00 Sound Effect Transition [Three gavel bangs.] 00:00:02 Jesse Thorn Host Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bailiff Jesse Thorn. We're in chambers this week to clear the docket. With me as always is the man they call the Scallop Prince of Maine... [John laughs.] ...Judge John Hodgman. 00:00:16 John Host [Sighs.] Hello! Welcome, everyone, to listening to this podcast. It is I, Hodgman John Hodgman, joining my friends Jennifer Marmor and Jesse Thorn in two distinct locations in Los Angeles. I of course am in the solar- powered studios of WERU, headquartered in Orland, Maine, broadcasting on 89.9 on the frequency modulation band out of Blue Hill, Maine. It is—well, the time doesn't matter to you. You're gonna start listening to this whenever. But what you need to know is we started recording ten minutes late. For two reasons. One, I needed to finish my chicken fingers that I was having for lunch in the parking lot of WERU. And that was delicious. I was almost gonna skip lunch, Jesse, but then I was like, "I'm going by the gas station that has the good chicken! I gotta get some." 00:01:06 Jesse Host Yeah, nothing wrong with chicken fingers! They're a classic for a reason. 00:01:10 John Host Yeah. Not after the record, before the record, so I'm all fueled up. 00:01:13 Jesse Host Probably the best of the finger foods. 00:01:16 John Host That's right. I would agree. I would absolutely agree. But then we had to pause— 00:01:19 Jesse Host With apologies to ladyfingers. [Pause.] 00:01:22 John Host Oh, are those the—like the spongecakes? 00:01:25 Jesse Host Yeah. It's like a soaked spongecake, I think. 00:01:27 John Host A soaked spongecake? What are they soaked in, rum? 00:01:31 Jesse Host Yeah, or maybe cappuccino? I don't know. Something like that. 00:01:35 John Host You have your cappuccino ladyfingers, you have your rum cappuccino ladyfingers, and then you have your plain rum ladyfingers. In any case, we also had to pause... to wait for Leafie to go away. [Leafie has been faintly audible in the background for some time now.] Leafie the Leaf Blower, as you know if you were listening last week, has been fired from the Judge John Hodgman family. 00:01:56 Jesse Host Mm-hm. 00:01:57 John Host No longer allowed to be on the podcast, due to scaring Cocoa last week. And Leafie was—Leafie was making a real racket outside your window there in Los Angeles, Jesse Thorn. 00:02:10 Jesse Host Yeah, Leafie's still here. I mean, I can't promise that you won't hear Leafie, but Leafie was immediately outside my window for some time. 00:02:18 John Host Yeah, like, Leafie knew what Leafie did. And Leafie was coming back. 00:02:21 Jesse Host Yeah, it was sort of like Leafie was throwing rocks at my window. You know? Little pebbles? 00:02:25 John Host [Laughs.] Well— 00:02:26 Jesse Host Like, [high-pitched] "Please, let me back in!" [Back to his usual voice.] 00:02:28 John Host Let me tell everyone in the listening audience. You will never hear from Leafie again. We are—[stifles laughter]—we are restructuring our schedules to record on non-Leafie days. [Jesse laughs.] So if you hear Leafie today, let your ears soak it in. Leafie's vengeful buzzing. Let your ears soak it in, 'cause it's the last time you're gonna hear Leafie. So mad at Leafie. You know who I'm not mad at? Not mad at my friends who are on the Zoom with me. I can see you. And I'm not mad at, uh, Engineer Joel Mann. If I am the Prince of Scallops, Joel is the King of Scallops. How are you, Joel? 00:03:02 Joel Mann Guest Good, Judge. 00:03:04 John Host I have some good news for you. 00:03:05 Joel Guest What? 00:03:06 John Host After last week's scallop talk... 00:03:08 Joel Guest Yeah? 00:03:09 John Host I went to the supermarket on the way home. Guess what? You may not know this. You—you can buy—you don't have to buy a gallon of them. 00:03:15 Joel Guest What?! 00:03:17 John Host Yeah. You can—you can get just a few. 00:03:18 Joel Guest No! 00:03:20 John Host You can order as many or as few scallops as you want. 00:03:22 Joel Guest Come on. Stop it. 00:03:23 John Host I got a dozen, and that was all I needed, thank heavens. [Jesse laughs quietly.] 00:03:26 Joel Guest Wow. 00:03:27 John Host And they were delicious. They were great. And they were right off the boat, too. It said on a little card, taped up. "Fresh today." And they were very good. [Leafie is getting louder.] 00:03:36 Joel Guest Awesome. 00:03:37 John Host I don't know if they got 'em from your guy. David Tarr? Is that the name of your scallopman? 00:03:42 Joel Guest That's the guy. 00:03:43 John Host He goes in the water. 00:03:44 Joel Guest He dives. Yes. 00:03:45 John Host He—yes. He goes in the cold Maine waters. 00:03:48 Joel Guest All winter long. 00:03:49 John Host All winter long, and grabs them, just to give you a— 00:03:51 Joel Guest A gallon. 00:03:52 John Host Just to hand off a gallon to you. 00:03:53 Joel Guest Yep. 00:03:54 John Host You have to give me some of those scallop-freezing tips that you promised me. Case I get into too many scallops this winter. [Joel chuckles.] Alright, anyway, we got some justice to dispense. It's not Scallop Talk. That's a separate podcast. [Joel chuckles, John stifles laughter.] Jesse Thorn, what's going on? What's on the docket? [Pause. Leafie is... very audible.] 00:04:11 Jesse Host Hold on one second. 00:04:14 John Host Is Leafie back?? 00:04:17 Jesse Host Yeah, Leafie's back here, right—right outside the old winder. 00:04:20 John Host You know what? Just power through it! Leafie's last hurrah. Go ahead. 00:04:25 Jesse Host Alright! I'll do it! Here's something from JB. She says: "When my partner makes the bed, he tucks in not only the top sheet but also every blanket, quilt, and bedspread in use. I believe this makes the bed both uncomfortable and aesthetically unpleasing. It also puts stress on the fabric of our quilts and bedspreads." 00:04:45 John Host [Incredulous] What? 00:04:46 Jesse Host "We've been married for 20 years, so I guess you could say I'm made my bed and now I must lie in it." 00:04:53 John Host Mm. 00:04:54 Jesse Host "But I'm hoping for a decision that bedspreads, quilts, and other covers aren't meant to be tucked in." 00:05:00 John Host Hoo. Some fancy wordplay there from JB. I appreciate that. Jesse Thorn... you have three small children. 00:05:11 Jesse Host That's true. 00:05:12 John Host Is there making of beds in your house? At all? 00:05:15 Jesse Host I will straighten out the bed. 00:05:17 John Host Yeah. 00:05:18 Jesse Host When I get up out of it in the morning, but I don't even re-tuck sheets. I just straighten them out, and pull the duvet up. 00:05:25 John Host Right. 00:05:27 Jesse Host And the main reason that I do that, frankly, is because I know that otherwise, my dogs will be getting into the sheets and trying to dig holes in the sheets, and I would prefer that they try and dig holes in the duvet. 00:05:40 John Host Yeah. They're hiding from Leafie, the malevolent leaf blower. You gotta— 00:05:43 Jesse Host Sure! Or looking for bed squirrels. 00:05:46 John Host That's true. That's always a possibility. [Laughs.] You gotta flip the mattress twice a year to shake out those bed squirrels. You know that, right? 00:05:52 Jesse Host Sure. 00:05:53 John Host Alright. I'll tell you—I'll tell you listeners who are shopping the Hodgman Collection at Brooklinen—hey, that's a plug. They didn't even pay for. 00:06:00 Jesse Host Mm-hm. 00:06:01 John Host I'll tell you shoppers who are shopping the Hodgman Collection at Brooklinen, you all know the color of my sheets. Slate gray. And then I got that—that stripe, that gray and white striped duvet cover. Do you know how I make my beds? No. You'll never know. You'll never—you'll never be able to replicate it perfectly. I will keep some secrets, thank you very much! But yeah, I mean, it's just—I—in a normal situation—but Jesse, in a ideal world, what would you consider to be a properly made bed? What is tucked in? What is not tucked in? In the platonic world of Jesse Thorn's, uh, bedclothes headcanon? 00:06:43 Jesse Host I think—well, first of all, I like to use a top sheet.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

Whether we spend years of our lives tuning in every week, or a few days bingeing through a storyworld, TV finales act as sites of negotiation between the forces of media production and consumption. By tracing a history of finales from the first Golden Age of American television to our contemporary era of complex TV, my project provides the first book- length study of TV finales as a distinct category of narrative media. This dissertation uses finales to understand how tensions between the emotional and economic imperatives of participatory culture complicate our experiences of television. The opening chapter contextualizes TV finales in relation to existing ideas about narrative closure, examines historically significant finales, and describes the ways that TV endings create meaning in popular culture. Chapter two looks at how narrative anticipation motivates audiences to engage communally in paratextual spaces and share processes of closure.

Saying Goodbye to Friends: Fan Culture as Lived Experience. By Dr. Anne Marie Todd San José State University One Washington Square San Jose, CA 95112 408.924.5391 [email protected] Abstract The series finale for NBC’s sitcom Friends was a media event, a two-hour broadcast promoted for months, and immediately followed by cast appearances on late night comedy shows and the next morning’s news shows. The show’s popularity demonstrated by fan response to the last episode positions the online and broadcast media discourse surrounding the finale as a rich cultural text for examining the influence of the modern sitcom on fans’ cultural identities and social communities. The Friends broadcast finale taken together with the online discussion of the show creates a site for the production and consumption of fan culture in three ways.
