The Dallas Cowboys are officially head coach-less. Who has a more headline-worthy take on the situation: Emily or Troy Aikman? Plus, we reflect on the Cotton Bowl and some insightful comments by a Texas Longhorn. Also: How long is too long to leave up holiday decor? Are kids these days scared of phone calls? And we talk through the horrific situation on the West Coast.  Last but not least, birthday parties around here are getting a little crazy. Paige Lohoefer, founder of the Birthday Party Project, joins the show to introduce us to her remarkable non-profit and lend some perspective to us all. Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors who made this episode possible:Get up to $200 off LASIK with Tylock George Eyecare: tylock.com/tmgGateway GMCGolden ChickGEICO Agent Victoria ElliottCoppola WineAudrie Dollins MediaNorth Texas Food BankCommunity MechanicalEstill Dog Psychology

Ever feel like your life is a chaotic, beautiful mashup of playdates and power plays? That's the territory explored every week on The Mom Game, where hosts Julie Dobbs and Emily Jones navigate the unique intersection of family life and the high-stakes world of sports. Both are working mothers entrenched in the industry, and they bring that frontline perspective to conversations that are as unpredictable as a toddler's mood. One minute they're breaking down a major league strategy, and the next they're swapping stories about the sheer comedy of trying to conduct a professional call with a kid in the background. This isn't about finding a perfect balance; it's about embracing the glorious mess of doing it all, often at the same time. Each episode feels like a candid chat with friends who get it-the passion for the game, the deep love for their kids, and the daily hustle that ties it together. You'll hear genuine laughter, moments of frustration, and a lot of solidarity, all filtered through a lens that only those living this particular blend of chaos could provide. Tune in for a podcast that celebrates the victories, both big and small, whether that's a successful team trade or finally mastering the packed lunch routine.
