I'm flying solo this episode, so I am taking a wishlist mom all to myself this episode to talk about Ness' Mom from the 1995 SNES game EarthBound. Try not to succumb to nausea or homesickness as we talk about how this two-dimensional character made a pretty big impact on an emotional story told in this game. We add salt to our boiled eggs for an HP recovery boost as we answer the question: is Ness' Mom our mother?

If you've got a late night case of the munchies, then step right up to the hot plate for a good meal and full read by this episode's subject, Debbie Novotny from the Showtime series Queer as Folk.

Joined by guest Joel from the May the Power Protect You podcast, we trek up and down Liberty Avenue as we talk about Debbie and the boys she calls her sons, along with other moms in the Queer as Folk world (and other Debbies, for that matter!). Do you wish a parent were more supportive? You sure about that? Want to take it back a little? We'll figure all that out as we talk about wig wearing, PFLAG pin enthusiast and a true queer icon as we answer the question: is Debbie Novotny our mother?

We time travel to the 80s - at least for a little while - to find waitress Sarah Connor and watch her get drawn into an adventure with the highest stakes: motherhood! Joining me (and asking me for all of my clothes) is Derek from the Walloping Websnappers⁠, ⁠Gimmicks⁠, ⁠Falling with Style⁠, ⁠Skreeonk!⁠, and ⁠Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge⁠ podcasts. We offer nuclear hot tastes (for example, Terminator 3's script wasn't good, and women in the Bible aren't the best written characters) while we talk about a smoking hot mom and her robot companions across the franchise all in service of answering the question: is Sarah Connor our mother?

It can be a rough life trying to deal in the suburbs. Luckily, Nike Nowak is back to talk about recent widow who is just trying to make it through the hellscape that is the American Dream by talking Nancy Botwin from the Showtime original series, Weeds. We talk about cannabis legalization, fat shaming parents, and the correct temperature that coffee should be all in the service of answering the question: is Nancy Botwin our mother?
