0:00.0	Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bale of Jesse Thorn. We're in Chambers
0:06.2	this week fearing the shock. Fearing the shock. That's what it says in my script, so I'm
0:12.5	obliged to read it. It's scary, because why Jesse? Because it's our Halloween episode.
0:18.2	Good evening, listeners. It is I judge John the Hodgman. It's Halloween time, scary time, time to dig deep into that big
0:41.1	plastic pumpkin head full of Halloween disputes that you submitted. And together we will all take a big
0:46.4	bite out of the razor blade concealing apple of justice. Jesse Thorn, are you ready? Let's get into the
0:51.4	docket. Here is a case from DG in Lincoln, Nebraska. I recently listened to an episode of the
0:57.4	podcast. How did this get made with special guest Paul F. Tomkins Paul and one of the hosts, Jason
1:04.6	Manzucas, we're discussing a well known Halloween candy. Imagine my horror when they both asserted
1:12.0	that the correct pronunciation of the name of this candy is Reese's PCs. I can't even begin to

1:36.8	I might just have a surprise for you. Hello. Paul of Tomkins. What are you doing here? Paul
1:47.9	F. Tomkins. What are you doing here, Paul? Hi. Well, I received a letter saying that I would inherit
1:53.7	a million dollars if I could spend the night in a haunted podcast studio. Did you guys get the same
1:58.8	letter? Yes. I got that letter. That's why I'm here too. Exactly. No, John, did you trick Paul
2:06.5	F. Tomkins into coming on to our podcast? Well, yeah, I did.
2:17.2	You know, you you could have just asked me. I mean, is this podcast studio even haunted?
2:22.3	No, Paul. I'm really sorry about all this. Well, then what? Well, I accept your apology.
2:27.4	But then what are all those creepy dolls doing on the piano over there? Those creepy dolls in the
2:31.5	piano? They're just my friends, Paul. They're just my very good friends. Huh? Okay. Can you unlock
