Judging Judy | the Judge Judy watch-along comedy podcast

Forbidden love causes two young cousins to come to blows — with each other! This week, we’re looking at a classic case of a bad romance from all the way back on December 19, 2006. When Kalaysha & Robert were told to cool it with their budding affair, things got pretty dicey. There was taunting. There was graffiti. There were threats. And, ultimately, there was a playground beatdown. While weighing the relative dangers of incest and offering up unsolicited and misguided parenting advice, it’s up to Judy to decide whether Robert’s mom has to pay Kalaysha’s medical bills. And it’s up to us to decide whether Judy is innocent or guilty. Because this, of course, is the hilarious Judging Judy podcast, the only comedy podcast that turns the tables on America’s most storied institution, the one, the only, Judge Judy. For over 25 years, Judy passed judgement over the daytime TV airwaves. However, while she was able to dish out her opinions for decades, no one was prepared to judge the Judge. Well, now, that’s our duty. Each week, we do a dynamic, nostalgic-filled and unpredictable play-by-play of an episode from the archives of the world’s most popular and potent TV judge. However, what we’re interested in is not just the case itself but also the actions of the judge. Did she deliver justice? Did she behave herself? Did she act fairly?  That’s for us to decide. Perfect for fans of Doughboys, Cinephobe, All Fantasy Everything, and Comedy Bang Bang, Judging Judy is a unique comedy podcast, combining laser sharp wit, social commentary and pop-culture nostalgia. Challenging an American icon, Judging Judy reexamines the phenomenon of Judge Judy: the society that created her and the society she impacted. Getting beneath the service of the episodes, Judging Judy offers a look back at the way the world was while commenting on the way the world is today. Fans are guaranteed a thoughtful, uproarious adventure each week by listening to Judging Judy. 

We return this week to a time when Independence Day was the biggest movie and Jewel’s music was new: that’s right, it’s 1996 on Judging Judy, the only podcast that turns the tables on America’s least favorite favorite TV judge. Our first case has an old crotchety TV repairman going to battle with two longtime customers of his, but not about a TV: they’re fighting about a car! He convinced them to sell it to them, only to try to back out of the deal after his wife told him it was a piece of junk. Now they won’t give him his money back and he’s real mad! Judy will have to decide he if deserves the $4,200 or if this is one mess that won’t be fixed. In our second case, two conniving teenagers abuse the trust of an older friend by spending over $2,300 on a calling card she let them use. If that isn’t a jolt of nostalgia, I don’t know what is! They claim she never set any limits on how many calls they could make and they tried to set up a payback schedule, but she wasn’t interested in piecemeal payments. She says she only did it because she felt bad for them, but will Judy feel bad for her? Or will Judy decide that she ought to have known better than to let these two known long-distance miscreants get anywhere near her phone bill? Those, of course, are all interesting question, but the most interesting question we answer each week is, Did Judy do her job? If she did, she’s innocent. If not, she’s guilty! We take our duty to Judge Judy pretty seriously. Judging Judy is a popular comedy podcast dedicated to reexamining the famous TV judge by taking her episodes and turning them upside down. Yes, we review the cases with a detailed play-by-play, but then we judge the Judge herself. Did she provide justice? Was she fair? Though Judging Judy is hilarious and full of laughs, it’s also interested in a careful, thoughtful reconsideration of the cultural impact Judge Judy had and the role she had in our public discourse.  In the spirit of other fan-favorite podcasts like the Doughboys, Cinephobe, Comedy Bang Bang and All Fantasy Everything, Judging Judy is a nostalgic, spirited and one-of-a-kind pop culture infused look at society yesterday, society today and society tomorrow. With a new episode every week and decades of Judge Judy to pull out of the archives, Judging Judy promises to bring you something you’ve never heard before. 

It’s a trip back in time to 1997 this week on Judging Judy, as we get two cases all about stuff: furniture, CDs, mugs and steak knives. Add in a purported love triangle, drug abuse, theft and a friendship of sixteen years damaged because of loud music, and it’s like a nostalgic journey to the K-Marts of yesteryear! Of course, this is Judging Judy, the top comedy podcast that turns the tables on America’s least favorite TV judge. In our first case, a brief fling led to the plaintiff buying furniture for a new apartment with her new beau. However, not long after moving in, and finding out she was pregnant, she decided they weren’t a good match and moved back out. However, he decided to sell the furniture she, and her old boyfriend who is now also her new boyfriend, paid for. Did I mention that the apartment the two were set to live in was actually just grandma’s house? AND did I mention that he wasn’t even paying rent? Judy will have to decide if she deserves to be paid back for the furniture he got the money for. Our second case is about two former childhood friends who came to literal blows after the defendant says the plaintiff overstayed her welcome. Who among us hasn’t had a guest who just didn’t know when to leave? The defendant claims the plaintiff was a loud music playing, steak knife stealing, disrespecting scammer. The plaintiff claims she only stole a couple of things and the defendants damaged her property. Judy will have to decide who’s being honest and who did the damage. And we, of course, will have to decide if Judy delivered justice, because this is the podcast that examines the lady behind the gavel, Judge Judy. Each week, we take an episode from Judy’s long and storied archives, do a play by play of the cases, and then, ultimately, decide whether Judy acted fairly. We care about the decisions themselves, sure, but we’re just as interested in what Judy said, what Judy did and how Judy behaved. For decades, Judy was a social and cultural icon; but, for the first time, we truly examine how she conducted herself. Fans of Stephen Colbert, plus podcasts like the Doughboys, Comedy Bang Bang, Judge John Hoffman and All Fantasy Everything will be right at home listening to popular podcast Judging Judy, given it’s sharp social commentary, witty repartee and keen self-awareness. Judging Judy captures the nostalgic of the time when the episode’s aired while also carefully examining the realities of Judy Shendlin herself. Never taking itself too seriously, Judging Judy is still interested in understanding Judy, the people who watched her show, the people who appeared on her show, and what it all means today.  Listen to Judging Judy for a laugh. Or two. 

He went from renting a guesthouse from her, to buying her car, to administering her wedding vows— but now he says she owes him thousands of dollars. Her story is a little different: according to her, he’s a fraud who not only didn’t pay his rent but also ruined her wedding. She’s asking for money of her own, but it will be up to Judge Judy to decide who’s right, who’s wrong and who will get paid.Of course, more importantly, it will be up to us to decide if Judy is right.
