Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

I'm summertime, fun time, guest bailiff, Monty Belmonti from WRSI in Northampton, Massachusetts.

This week, feast and desist.

Candace brings the case against her fiance, Weston.

Since college, the two of them have hosted their friends for an annual Thanksgiving themed

dinner party.

This year, Weston would like to duck out, or even turd duck out of their responsibilities

and let someone else take charge.

But Candace loves to buckle her hat, pull up her socks to her knees, and take charge of

those classic Candace de Ames.

Will they hold onto their tradition, like cranberry sauce holds onto the shape of the can, or

will it be torn from them like giblets from a turkey carcass?

Who gets the long piece of the wishbone?

Only one man can decide.

Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents the obscure cultural

reference.

The value of any experience isn't in its positive or negative effect on his life, but

in the sheer luminous power of it, the vividness, the ferocity, the amount and degree of pure

sensation that it provides.

Intensity

Fun time, summertime guest bailiff, Monty Belmonti, please swear them in with intensity.

Please rise and raise your right hands.
