Judging Judy #14 - the Babysitter Schlubs (a comedy podcast)

This week on Judge Judy, it’s all about bad babysitters, and the moms who refuse to pay them!

We go all the way back to Christmas Eve, 1996 and we’ve got two cases, each with a babysitter that’s definitely going on the naughty list.

Roxanne, a cheerleader mom maniac, says her friend Jackie didn’t pay. Jackie says not only did she pay, but that Roxanne was a danger to her kids. Based on Roxanne’s behavior alone, I might agree, but it’s up to Judy to decide if Roxanne is still going to get paid.

In Case 2, Pamela says she went unpaid after quitting babysitting for Maleka because Kyle was too much to handle. Maleka says Pamela walked off the job and neglected her kid. Will Judy side with the jilted mom or the deadbeat babysitter?

And of course, we ourselves get to Judge Judy.

This is Judging Judy, the one-of-kind comedy podcast that turns the tables on America’s favorite TV judge. Each week, we explore an episode from the Judge Judy archives. After a quick reminder of what was going on in the world when the episode first aired, we jump right into the cases that came before Judy that day with a play-by-play of what the plaintiffs claim, what the defendant says really answered, and all of Judy’s antics in-between. Finally, we ask the important question: was Judy innocent or guilty? Did she do her job? Did she deliver justice?

Judging Judy is perfect for fans of podcasts like Doughboys, Cinephobe and Comedy Bang Bang. By offering an introspective look at one of America’s most storied TV icons, Judging Judy isn’t just a comedy podcast, it’s an examination of our shared culture. We judged these people when they were on TV; now we get to rediscover how we judged them and we get to judge the judge, in turn.

Nostalgic, biting, witty, sarcastic and light-hearted all in one, Judging Judy is the podcast that takes seriously its duty to judge Judge Judy.
