Mothers deserve more than a lousy microwave. Take it from the Gadgettes. Two out of three of us know from experience. As for Jason, he's hiding under the desk trying to avoid scary birthing stories.

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.
