As mommies yourselves and Jason, I was hoping this week’s episode would be dedicated to Mother’s Day. My mom is a total luddite, but I try to keep her somewhat in touch with technology. I was hoping you three might have some suggestions for me.

Thanks,
Dr. Karl

Oh, wow. This amazes me. When I saw this I thought of Kelly talking bout how much she loves lists in Episode 75.

Hey Gadgettes

Just wanted to say thanks for doing the “Scaring the bejesus out of us” episode. I listen to podcasts at work to pass the time. So after all the creepy-crawly talk I’m now sitting in my cubicle trying very hard not to do the “OMG I think there’s a bug on me!!!!” dance. Thanks…thanks for that. Between this and the random giggles when the Gadgettes band randomly bursts out into song/chicken noises or at one of Molly’s famous rants, my coworkers must surely think I’m a little bit nuts.

P.S. This is a bit old so you may have seen this already. If you thought the Nubrella was bad you should see the UFO Cap.
