Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm bailiff, Jesse Thorne. It's the Max Fund Drive, folks. You're going to hear more about the Max Fund Drive later on in the program. Right now, we just want you to know, this is when we celebrate the members of Maximum Fun. This show only exists because people like you support it.

The support can start at five bucks a month.

All right, this week, criminal intent. Kristen brings the case against her husband, Blair,

they love to go camping with their family, and Blair loves to camp with his special canvas tent.

Kristen says that Blair's tent is lovely, but way too cumbersome. She wants to add a lightweight nylon tent to the

rotation, but Blair says no to nylon. He says it's his tent or take a hike? 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. There comes a time when children stand in judgment and their parents, mother as well as father,

stand in the dock. Baylor, if Jesse Thorne, please swear the litigants in. Blair, Kristen, 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?

Yes.

Yes.

Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling, despite the fact that the only camping he participates in is what's called house camping?

Oh, yes.

I do.

Judge Hodgman, you may proceed.

Thank you, Jesse.

It's actually house glamping.

Okay.
