Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bale of Jesse Thorn. This week, better

call Parasol. Abby brings the case against her friend, Aiden. They belong to a secret

online group dedicated to complaining about other passengers on the London Underground.

One major debate? Umbrella's. Aiden says, bringing an umbrella on the train is unacceptable.

She disagrees. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one can decide. Please rise as Judge

John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents an obscure cultural reference.

Will you take me across the channel? London Bridge is falling down. Stranger woman

trying to save more than a man will try to stop the ground. And the world I think we

paint and the love like ours my dear is best measured when it's down and I never buy

Umbrella's. Because there's always one around. Abby and Aiden have these rights.

No, no, no. I started an engine stop only about the weather. Oh, this is the new

girl of the bells. The world is the same. It's the same. They live Jesse Thorn, please

swear them in. Come to our live shows. Here I sing. Abby and Aiden, please rise and raise

your right hands. Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

so help you God or whatever? I do. Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling

despite the fact that he gets followed around by one of those little cartoon rain clouds?

I do. We do. Judge Hodgman, you may proceed. Abby and Aiden, you may be seated for an immediate

summary judgment in one of your favors. Can either of you name the piece of culture I reference

when I entered the courtroom. Abby, Aiden, were you at our London show by any chance? You might

have you might have you. I'm sorry. First of all, I apologize. We wanted to have you on stage

at our London show, but the time, the time gentleman as they say in the public houses. The time

was too short for and so now we're so happy that you're able to join us here video phonically.
