0:00.0	Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorne. This week, Barking and
0:08.0	entering. David brings the case against his roommate, Logan. David and Logan own a home together. David
0:15.4	has a husky named Volta. When David lets Voltaire out into the yard, he leaves the door open so Volta
0:22.4	can let himself back in. Logan says when the door is left open, the heating system kicks in.
0:29.5	This makes Logan unbearably hot. Logan says human comfort is more important than dog comfort. Who's right, who's wrong, only one can
0:39.6	decide. Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents an obscure cultural
0:45.6	reference. Reasons my Husky got mad at me this week, number one, he couldn't get down the
0:51.2	stairs at my boyfriend's place because they were too steep.
0:54.8	So my boyfriend had to carry him.
0:56.7	I will be taking full accountability for the angle of the stairs.
0:59.5	I should have been there when they were building the house 20 years before I was born to ensure that they installed an acceptable slope for my husky.
1:05.8	Reason number two, I stopped letting him inside, outside, outside, inside, inside, inside. After an hour at the end of the day, I am his employee, and if he wants to go inside,
1:15.0	outside, outside, outside.
1:16.0	For 24 hours a day, it's on me to open and close the door for him as much as he pleases.
1:20.4	And speaking of opening doors, number three, I didn't open the door all the way.
1:24.5	And even though he could 100% open it himself, why should he have to exert any extra energy when I'm clearly right there? So I really just need to stop being so
1:31.5	lazy and stop making my dog so angry. Bayel of Jesse Thorne, please swear the litigants in.
1:38.0	David, Logan, please rise and raise your right hands. Do you swear to tell the truth,
1:42.3	the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
1:51.5	So help you, God, or whatever. I do. Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling,
1:59.3	despite the fact that the real expert on Huskies is my eccentric Aunt Gail? Yes. She runs Norseled rescue in Oakland, California.
2:02.7	Judge Hodgman, you may proceed.
