The Capitalist Youth

Judge John Hodgman

Greg Kamprath and Eric Heveron-Smith recently presented a case before Judge John Hodgman. It’s up now and you can listen here. The case concerns whether or not one should ask the audience to clap along to a song when performing. Thanks to some friendly editing, we sound much more like the competent buzz marketers Judge Hodgman makes us out to be. Originally there were a lot more “uh…”s and awkward pauses before answering.

But as long as you’re here, listen to our album, At the Campfire!
