Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman Podcast.

I'm your guest Bayliffe Jean Grey in for Jesse Thorn.

This week, Sunrise upset.

Carrer brings the case against her husband, Colin.

Colin began setting an alarm to rise with the sun each day.

He says it's not only useful, but that he enjoys feeling synced with the natural world.

Carrer says the Sunrise alarm is impractical and is just Colin's latest new thing.

Should Colin continue rising with the sun?

Only one man can decide.

Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and issues the obscure cultural reference.

Before I issue the obscure cultural reference,

Carrer and Colin, could I ask your ages please?

I'm 27.

I'm 29.

That's very eloquent.

I can't argue.

I can't argue against anything you're saying.

Then again, I don't have to because you're 27 and 29 years old.

Your children, look, let's face it, you're probably much more intelligent people than I am.

In fact, I guarantee it.

But even smart kids stick their finger in electrical sockets sometimes.

Takes time to figure things out.
