Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman Podcast. I'm Bill of Jesse Thorne. This week,

Property Cousins. Matthew brings the case against his cousin Casey.

Matthew says Casey is too caught up in buying rundown

buildings without a proper plan. He thinks Casey should step back from the

attempted acquisitions and strategize better.

But Casey says he does have a plan.

And he says these buildings are vital.

Who's right, who's wrong, only one can decide decide please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents an obscure

cultural reference.

They don't look like Presbyterians to me.

Bail if Jesse Thorne please swear the litigants in.

Matthew and Casey, please rise and raise your right hands.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth truth so help you God or whatever.

I do.

I do.

Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling despite the fact that he's due for

major renovations?

I do. I do. Judge Hodgman, you may proceed. I do. I do. Judge Hodgman you may proceed. I am due for major

renovations I got cat scratch fever. Oh no. Guy scratched by a cat. Scratch that you know what the name of the

cat was this is the this is all off Mike by the way you know what the name of the cat was? This is all off Mike by the way. You know what the name of the cat was you guys?
