Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylor F. Jessie Thorn. This week,

Anik Dontal Evidence. Bob brings the case against his fiance, Alessandra. They have a

no-boring stories policy in their home. Now, Alessandra wants an exception for stories

about the workplace. Should they change the rules, only one man can decide. Please rise,

as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom.

Then that Aprilus, with his showers, swut the drought of Marchhath pierced to the root

and bathed every vein in such liquor, of which virtue engendered is the flower. When Zephyrus

eke with his swut breath, inspired hath in every halt and heath the tender crops, and the

young son hath in the ram his half-course run, and noble Baylor's melody, and shudden

all the holes of pie. Baylor, Jesse, swear them in.

Please rise, raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and

nothing but the truth, so help you God or whatever? I do. I do. Do you swear to abide by

Judge John Hodgman's ruling, despite the fact that in the one case that someone dared

to attempt to present to him a boring Anik Dota to social gathering, he killed them using

mind power. I do. Yes. Very well, Judge Hodgman. Bob and Alessandra, you may be seated

for an immediate summary judgment in one of your favor. I'm going to ask you now to guess

the origin of the cultural reference that I made as I entered the courtroom. Alessandra,

you are the defendant. You are responding to the complaint of Bob, your fiance, who says

you are boring, as you are in the defending position you may choose to guess or make

Bob guess first, which will you do? Hold on, Judge Hodgman. What? I have a guess, and

I'm going first this week. But this is unprecedented, Baylor, Jesse. I'm just excited. I know the answer.

Well, it's porkeys. Is it not porkeys? No, it's not porkeys. Nor is it porkeys too. Back
