0:00.0	Judge John Hodgman listeners, Baylor F. Jessie here. This week's episode is almost entirely
0:05.2	about meat. So if meat is gross to you, you might want to wait for next week's episode,
0:11.0	because that's what this one is about. Let's get into it. Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman
0:17.6	podcast. I'm Baylor F. Jessie Thorn. This week, the smoking pun Emily brings the case against
0:23.6	her husband, Eric. Eric enjoys smoking meats and particularly brisket. Emily complains that he

1:41.7	loosening up soon. Meanwhile, Eric and Emily, you can be seated for an immediate summary judgment
1:47.1	in one of yours favors. Can either of you identify the piece of culture I referenced as I entered
1:52.0	the courtroom? Emily, you will start with you. Well, I had some guesses I thought it may be, but
1:57.6	that doesn't seem to fit any of them. So I'm going to guess. You had prepped some guesses?
2:02.7	I had prepped some guesses. Well, tell me what was on your mise en place of guesses. I mean,
