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

crustity hearing. Lila Rose brings the case against her brother, Kumar. They disagree

on the best method of making pie crust. Lila Rose believes it's important to keep the ingredients

in the freezer. Kumar says, the fridge is just fine. 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.

Oh, you pie people. You make me laugh. What does pie have going for it? Pie filling?

Even the name filling makes it seem like it's not that important to the pie. If you're eating pie

filling out of a can, there has been a disaster. You're in an underground bunker and you are

running out of food. What you're saying is, okay, here's what's going to happen. First,

I'm going to eat that pie filling that I'm going to eat you. Bail of Jesse Thorn, please

swear them in. Lila Rose and Kumar, 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.

I do. Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling despite the fact that he prefers

home run brand hand pies? It's you. Judge Hodgman, you may proceed. What is a, hang on, you

a lot of Rose and Kumar remain standing. What is a home run brand? I don't, you know what a home run

pie is? It's the kind that comes in a little sleeve of wax paper at the grocery store.

It sounds good. We're in a little pile at the liquor store, the corner store. Is it a sweet pie

or a savory pie? It's a sweet pie. What is this Australia? I'd like a little fort pie.

I think a little pork pie and a wax sleeve. I actually would enjoy that very much. Wouldn't that be good?

I wish I could have a pork pie and a wax sleeve for dinner. But in the meantime, we've got justice

to adjudicate Lila Rose and Kumar. You may be seated for immediate summary judgment in one of your

favors. Can either of you name the piece of culture I referenced when I entered the courtroom?
