Parton and the Pickle

Author: The Mom Game, LLC March 5, 2026 Duration: 1:01:34
Sports talk, mom talk, pranks... all brought to you by Dolly Parton and a Pickle.

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.
