Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bale of Jessie Thorne. This week, honk if you love Justice. West

brings the case against his friend Adam. He says Adam's too eager to lay on the horn when he sees bad driving. Adam says he's

just practicing defensive driving. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide. Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom.

Today's cultural reference is an audio cultural reference. Listen carefully.

Swear them in Jesse. Please rise and raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God or whatever?

I do.

Yeah, I do.

Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling despite the fact that the horn button on his car lays down a sweet oil slick?

Yeah, I do. I do as well.

Very well, Judge Hodgman. It's sweet oil, specifically. I mean, you will go off the road. But if you if you happen to taste it, it's pretty sweet.

It's nice for making dressings. It is. It is, but the long too sweet.

Yeah, Wes and Adam, you may be seated for an immediate summary judgment in one of yours favors.

Can either of you name the sound that you heard as I entered the courtroom? I'm looking for a very specific answer.

It was distorted a little bit by Skype, but no, I can't. You're going to blame no idea what Skype.

I'm blaming Skype. Yeah, I can see you guys are both. I mean Skype as well and my iPhone. I mean my phone. All right. So you're both wrong.

And you're both in contempt of court. You have to make a guess.

I'll play it for you again. Thank you. Thank you.

I could listen to that all day long.

Wes, can you guess? Is it some sort of car alarm? No, Adam, can you guess?

Sounds like some kind of action in a factory or something like that. Oh, you are wrong. Action in a factory is not something that happens.

I don't know what I call it. That it machines work in a factory.

That machines working in a factory. That sounds like the long lost record by the band whose name I'm forgetting.
