This Mother’s Day, Charles and Lisa celebrate the matriarchs of mayhem—the moms who made music history by being absolutely terrible at motherhood. In Mom Said Knock You Out, Charles dives into the chaotic parenting of Pattie Mallette, Justin Bieber’s mom, who once thought it was a great idea to leave her teenage son in the care of P. Diddy. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well. Meanwhile, Lisa unpacks the Pepsi-denying mother who inadvertently inspired the greatest teen meltdown anthem of all time: Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies. That’s right—one mom’s refusal to let her son crack open a cold soda gave birth to a hardcore punk classic. Celebrate the moms who didn’t quite get it right, only on Jackalope Tales. [EP 85]
