[Host (The Birch Show)]

This is the Birch Show.

[Jeff]

I don't remember. Do you guys remember what we were talking about yesterday? Oh, lockdown.

[Elizabeth]

Lockdown of the house.

[Jeff]

Jen Hobby told a very funny story about a friend of hers who got locked outside the house. And so our intern Jennifer stepped up cause she had a story about that. This is her talking to us yesterday.

[Jennifer (Intern)]

Yeah, well, I was babysitting and the kid and I were playing in the yard and the ball went over the fence or something and he got pissed and ran inside the house and locked me outside.

[Guest 1]

How old, how old was he?

[Jennifer (Intern)]

About ten.

[Jeff]

So you're trapped.

[Jennifer (Intern)]

So I was locked outside the house and so like I had to go to the neighbor's house and be like the 10 year old kid locked me.

[Jeff]

Out of the house. 404-741-1005. I have never babysat in my life. I don't know how I was okay with it. Well, I'm an only child, so I didn't have any siblings to deal with. And there were so many kids.

[Guest 1]

Deal with.

[Elizabeth]

I like the way you said that.

[Jeff]

And there were so many kids on our street, like girls on our street, who were like babysitters that I never got roped into. Like, my parents were going out with the neighbors, and I had to watch the neighbor's kid or something. So there were always girls willing to do it for whatever. So I never had to deal with. With the adventures of babysitting. To take it from the movie, I.

[Guest 1]

Did, believe it or not, one time. I actually babysat one time, two little boys. And it was one time.

[Elizabeth]

It scarred you for life.

[Guest 1]

Because I'm the youngest, and so I didn't have to babysit any younger siblings, so I wasn't used to younger siblings. And most of my friends didn't have younger siblings, so most of my friends were the babies of the family, too. So little kids still intimidate me. And so I say that. And so, yeah, so, I mean, the kids survived, the parents came home, the house was okay. You know, like I said, they were still alive. So, I mean, it was successful. But I only did it one time.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah, I babysat for most. I mean, everybody. We were earlier talking about our first jobs and our, like, crazy first jobs. Most of my. All of my first jobs were all babysitting. I would.

[Jeff]

Did you, with your friends, have, like, a babysitting business?

[Elizabeth]

No, we didn't have a club or anything, but my mom is a teacher, and so, of course, we knew lots of families through the school. My mom's an elementary school teacher, so. Or was an elementary school teacher. And so anyway, so I always babysat for the kids in her class and all the different families at her school and everything else. But I think the biggest adventures in babysitting. Nightmare. And that's what we want right now, right?

[Jeff]

Absolutely.

[Elizabeth]

404741 1005. Commiserate with me and intern Jennifer with your adventures and babysitting story, sir. Nightmares.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And I know we're going to get, like, the first call. Hey. Hey, Aaron.

[Caller (Various)]

Hey.

[Jeff]

The first call is another lockout call. But how long is it gonna be before we get the dad tried to make out with me on the drive home.

[Elizabeth]

Well, that was about to be mine.

[Jeff]

Come on.

[Elizabeth]

Really? I'll tell you about it in a second.

[Jeff]

All right, Erin, let's hear It I.

[Caller (Various)]

Was babysitting and it was an overnight job. We were letting the dog out one last time. The little girl was nine years old. We got locked out of the house. It was 10:30. We had to call her parents were in New York and find out if they had a key somewhere outside in the house. They didn't, so I had to break in. But all the while my car was open, their cats got locked in my car. When we finally got into the house, the cats were locked in my car and used the back of my car as a litter box all night long.

[Elizabeth]

Oh God.

[Caller (Various)]

And I didn't find out that the cats were in my car until we realized they were missing at about noon the next day. They were in my car for about 14 hours.

[Jeff]

Oh, neat.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Guest 1]

You didn't get that smell out, right?

[Caller (Various)]

No, it did. I had like a 12 pack cardboard box in the back of my car and the cats used that fortunately, so I didn't have to clean a whole lot. It just stunk really bad for a while.

[Jeff]

All right, thanks for the call, Erin.

[Caller (Various)]

Thanks.

[Jeff]

Hey Elizabeth.

[Caller (Various)]

Yes?

[Jeff]

Let's hear your. This one is still hurting you.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

I was babysitting a six year old who was were playing outside. He got upset and locked me out of the house. Luckily the parents had a spare key. When I got into the house, he had crawled out of his bedroom window.

[Caller (Various)]

On the second floor to the roof of the house.

[Guest 1]

You're six years old.

[Caller (Various)]

Had to climb out onto the roof to get him back in.

[Elizabeth]

Oh God. Oh my.

[Jeff]

How much? Let me ask you a question, Elizabeth. How much were you making?

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

I think $4 an hour.

[Jeff]

Yeah, $4 an hour. And that's what you're crawling on the roof to rescue a squirmy six year old?

[Caller (Various)]

Absolutely. That's why I don't want kids now.

[Jeff]

Hey, Carolyn. Yeah, what's up?

[Caller (Various)]

Not much.

[Jeff]

Let's hear your story.

[Caller (Various)]

I went to the first time for a house to babysit for a young.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

Girl and it was a single mom.

[Caller (Various)]

And she showed me where everything was in the house and then proceeded to show me where the handgun was.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

It was loaded and let me know that if her ex husband showed up to shoot first and ask questions later.

[Elizabeth]

Oh my God. You have gotta be kidding me.

[Caller (Various)]

Oh God.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

I went once and I called her back and said, sorry, I don't think.

[Caller (Various)]

It'S going to work.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah, your four bucks an hour is not going to be worth it, lady.

[Jeff]

Right?

[Caller (Various)]

No. And thank God, now I'm up to 10.

[Jeff]

A manslaughter charge. Yeah, I Don't know. She showed me where the handgun was. She was making four bucks. Maybe I get a tip if I killed her ex husband.

[Host (The Birch Show)]

I guess I was what, 14, 15, when I was maybe younger babysitting. And there was a family I was baby singing for. And the little girl that I was watching was two or three years old. So we put her to bed at like 8 o' clock or whatever, and she still had the baby monitor. So I was downstairs watching TV or going through their pantry, whatever you do when you babysit. And I had the monitor sitting right beside me. And so it's probably 10 o' clock at night. And the family said they'd be home about midnight. Girl's been asleep for a couple hours. And I start hearing through the little baby monitor, hey, do you want to hear a story? Do you want to hear a story? Come on, just go to bed and you can hear a story. And I just pick it up and I'm looking at it straight out of Movie. You can see the volume bars moving from the baby monitor. I have one that the little girl who's asleep in her bedroom, she has the only other one.

[Jeff]

The call came from inside the house.

[Host (The Birch Show)]

And the voice just keeps saying, just go to bed and we'll tell you a story. And we'll tell you a story. So I'm like 14 years old. I'm flipping out. I'm thinking in my head, okay, somebody's broken into the house. Katie was the little girl's name. I'm thinking she woke up and they're trying to put her back to sleep by saying, we'll read you a story if you close your eyes. So being the Rambo that I am, I run in the kitchen, grab a knife, and then. And then I go running upstairs to her room or peek around the corner, and she's just sound asleep. So I'm still looking at my baby monitor. I'm going, what is going on? It is the neighbors next door on the street.

[Jeff]

There was channel or something.

[Host (The Birch Show)]

There was interference on the lines.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, my God.

[Host (The Birch Show)]

So they were trying to put their son to sleep, and I could hear their baby monitor trying to put him asleep, telling him a story, but I flipped out.

[Jeff]

That'll pan. That'll cause you a little nervousness.

[Momentous Brand Representative]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Hey, Jessica. Yeah, what's up?

[Caller (Various)]

I was babysitting two little boys or whatever, and I went in the kitchen to cook them, you know, something to eat for dinner, right? And I set them down to watch cartoons in the living room, and I come back in the living room and the oldest, who had to be like 6 years old, has pooped on himself and smeared it all over the wall.

[Elizabeth]

You are kidding me.

[Caller (Various)]

No. And so I had to call their parent. I'm like, well, what am I supposed to do? You know, what's going on? She's like, oh, I. I meant to tell you, he's just going through a phase. Just a phase?

[Elizabeth]

No, no. If your child is wiping poop on the walls, then you stay home during that phase. I don't have a babysitter to deal with that. Oh, my gosh.

[Jeff]

It's his artistic period. Like he's just experimenting.

[Elizabeth]

It's renaissance nasty. I mean, they have to test kids with IQ points on that.

[Jeff]

Hey, Michelle. Yes, go ahead.

[Caller (Various)]

I was about 15 years old and babysitting for a lady that I absolutely adored. She had one son. A girlfriend was actually with me at the time. And the next, after they came home and I get home the next day, she comes knocking on my door and accuses me of stealing jewelry from her house.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, no, you are kidding.

[Caller (Various)]

No. And so unfortunately, my boyfriend had also stopped by and the little boy had thrown up on him. So he had actually gone inside the house to wipe the yak off his shirt and stuff.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Caller (Various)]

He had to go to court as well. Yeah. So like, I actually, I was 15 years old, I got read my rights. They were going to arrest me. I had to go to court. I was proven innocent because I absolutely did not take her jewelry and would have never done that.

[Jeff]

Did anybody? You said you had a friend with you and your boyfriend. Did they.

[Caller (Various)]

They had to go to court. They had to testify as far as what they were doing in the house and so on and so forth. And it was absolutely horrible.

[Jeff]

And none of them, nobody was found guilty.

[Caller (Various)]

Nobody was found guilty. Have no idea what happened to her jewelry. But I obviously did not get any more babysitting jobs in the neighborhood after that.

[Jeff]

All right, thanks for the call, Michelle.

[Caller (Various)]

Yep.

[Jeff]

All right, we gotta hear Jen Hobby's story, but I wanna make sure. Hey, Melissa.

[Caller (Various)]

Hi, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Can you hang on?

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

Sure.

[Jeff]

Okay, because we want to hear the story about the 8 year old chasing you with the knife.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

Yeah, it's fabulous. You would appreciate it. It was for Bon Jovi tickets. It's the only reason why babysat.

[Elizabeth]

Nice.

[Jeff]

All right, good. Hold on. And then so we've got chased. And then. Hey, Laura.

[Caller (Various)]

Yeah?

[Jeff]

Can you hold on so we can hear the story about getting chased around with golf clubs?

[Caller (Various)]

Sure.

[Jeff]

Okay, cool.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, my God, these poor women.

[Jeff]

Hey, Anna.

[Caller (Anna)]

Yeah?

[Jeff]

Can you hold on, because we want to hear the story about the girl sneaking outside and getting stuck in a tree in her underwear.

[Caller (Anna)]

No problem.

[Momentous Brand Representative]

Hold on.

[Jeff]

All right.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, my God. Well, I don't think that mine's nearly as entertaining. I mean, I had a couple different situations babysitting, but it was never with the kids being bad. It was with the parents because it was like. Because I was there. It was their night to go out and get hammered.

[Guest 1]

Right?

[Jeff]

Right.

[Elizabeth]

So one time I had to call my mom to come and get me because the dad who wanted to drive me home was so wasted, I didn't want to get into the car with him. And then I definitely had a dad hit on me on the way home.

[Jeff]

So how does that happen? Like, you're in the front seat, like.

[Elizabeth]

It was just being.

[Jeff]

Is it like it is in the movies where you're kind of sitting in the front seat, like, on your hands, just looking straight ahead and there's a guy? Cause I'm assuming that most babysitters are hired by the mom, right? So you probably don't even know them that well.

[Elizabeth]

Right. And then when the mom gets home, she wants to get out of the high heels and the fancy clothes that she went out in and check on the kids or whatever. So it's like, oh, honey.

[Jeff]

You drive her home, and he's got his tie loosened, and he smells a little bit of alcohol. What's he doing?

[Elizabeth]

It's just. It was. I mean, he didn't, like, go in to kiss me or anything like that, but it was like the touching of the shoulders and the rubbing of the neck in the car and, you know, the touching of the hand and the, you know, we'll have to have you come back over and everything else. And it was just like, couldn't. Could not wait to get out of.

[Jeff]

The car, and you're like, ew.

[Elizabeth]

I was just like, thanks, bike.

[Jeff]

Go run.

[Guest 1]

Right.

[Elizabeth]

And sometimes they wouldn't, like, pay you till the end of it, too, so you don't want to be like, you know, like, he would keep you in the car, like, you know, even you get back to your house or whatever, and he's, like, still, like, talking and doing this, like, slurry flirting thing while he's, like, trying to figure out how much money he owes you, and that's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ugh. Awful.

[Guest 1]

Awful.

[Jeff]

Good times. Very good times. Hey, Laura.

[Caller (Anna)]

Yep.

[Jeff]

You a kid in a golf club?

[Caller (Various)]

That's right. I used to babysit for the people that lived across the street from me on a pretty regular basis when I was Younger and you know, typical parents. When I, whatever, went over to babysit and this kid was just a kid from hell and went out to the garage, got one of his dad's golf clubs and started to try and chase me around the house with this. And it was so bad that I ended up having to lock him in the garage, lock myself in the house and call my dad from across the street to come over and get him because I was really afraid he was just going to hit me in the head.

[Jeff]

Well, at least a golf club is tough to swing in a house. If the kid's chasing you with a knife like he did to Melissa, then it's much easier to inflict injury.

[Caller (Various)]

Yes, it's true.

[Jeff]

Go ahead, let's hear the story.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

Okay, I was probably about 10 or 11 and I was babysitting over Christmas break and we had a list of chores that we had to do and the kids were probably like 8 and 7 and so the little boy wanted to watch a movie and I told him after the movie was over we were doing chores, so he said okay. So the movie goes off, I turn off the TV and he proceeds to throw a temper tantrum and picks up a knife and chases me and his little sister into a living room and locks us in the living room because we lived overseas. And all the door like all the rooms have doors overseas with skeleton keys. So he locks us in the living room and he's like shoving the knife underneath the door, kicking and screaming on the door because he's mad that we turned off the tv.

[Elizabeth]

Dude, what is that little kid doing now?

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

Sadly, I think he's, he works for an electronics department, I think.

[Jeff]

So he did grow up to be fairly normal other than trying to stab the babysitter.

[Caller (Anna)]

He did.

[Caller (Elizabeth or Michelle)]

He grew up to be normal and his sister ended up turning out to be crazy.

[Guest 1]

Well, having nightmares about her brother chasing her with a knife might do it.

[Jeff]

I don't know, Anna, you'll be the last phone call.

[Caller (Anna)]

Okay, so I was babysitting this five.

[Caller (Various)]

Year old little girl.

[Caller (Anna)]

We were inside the house and she proceeded to go outside by herself. And I said, oh, I'll follow you in a minute, I'm just going to get some drinks. She goes outside and then I'm looking for her, can't find her anywhere. And then I hear her at first laughing, then second she's like, help, help. And I'm looking around all over the place, I can't find her. And so finally after about 35 minutes, maybe 40 minutes, I'm like going closer because it was on a farm, so there were like trees everywhere. So I'm going around and then I see, I look up. I finally like look up, cuz you're the boys. And she's hanging from her underwear off of a tree branch. I have to like, like huge wedgie and so I have to go up the tree and then try to get her down. And then the worst part is like her parents come home and she didn't want her underwear on. So she was sitting over my lap and I'm like, it's okay cuz like it hurt her after like being up there I don't even know how long. And so her tush is in the air. And then her parents are like, what's going on? I'm like, sorry, this massive, like burn from the wedgies.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yep.

[Jeff]

You do not want the parents to come home. When you've got the kid on your lap with no underwear and burn marks.

[Elizabeth]

Down there, then chafing the booty is not a good sign.

[Jeff]

That'll. That'll put an end to your babysitting career. Thanks for the call, Anna.

[Caller (Anna)]

Hey, no problem.
