Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Baylor Jesse Thorne. This week,

Mi Casa S. Shulis Casa. Julia brings the case against her husband, Sean.

Sean likes to keep the house neat and clean. He insists that all guests remove their shoes before

entering. Julia says the guests' comfort is paramount. They shouldn't have to take off their shoes

if they don't want to. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide. Please rise as Judge

John Hodgman enters the court. Shiny black and blue, these shoes know what to do. They're going to

make a deep impression on you. Gonna get you now, trap and tie you. Gonna get you now,

ankle and thigh you. Gonna get you now, hook and eye you. Gonna get you now, hang and dry you.

I'm gonna get you freaks like me need company. And thus I turn to Baylor Jesse Thorne asking him

to swear the litigants in. 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. I do as well.

Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling despite the fact that for him, shoes are

unnecessary. Yes, yes, I do. Very well to Judge John Hodgman. Julian Sean, you may be seated

for an immediate summary judgment in one of your favours. Can either of you name the piece of

culture that I quoted directly as I entered the courtroom, I will go. Julian, you bring this case

to the court so you get first guest, Julia. Based on context clues, I'm going to guess Kinky Boots.

That is incorrect. Sean, do you know the answer? I haven't a foggyest. No, I know you don't.

And I'm Julia. That was one where I really got scared you were going to get it. And then you actually

came pretty close. You came pretty close. It was from a Broadway musical. But this particular song

was only in the Broadway musical for a period of time before the musical was reworked. And this

song was cut. Now do you know the answer? Not that it's going to get you the immediate summary

judgment in your favour, but you're going to feel great if you do. I still have no idea.
