Striking Cobras, Four Nations Face-Off, and School Vouchers | Special Guest Texas State Representative John McQueeney | Episode 258

Author: The Mom Game, LLC February 20, 2025 Duration: 1:27:15
Everybody is talking about SB2, the "school voucher bill." How it will affect our students and schools if it is passed through legislature? We got some answers from Texas state representative John McQueeney as he joined the show this week to talk about this hot topic. Also, how should we deal with the tough situation of kids being left out, or leaving others out because we can't have everybody to everything? The Four Nations Faceoff is taking off for the NHL (and further displaying some northern border tension). Also, what should the NBA do about dwindling interest from their fanbase?And don't miss the cobra talk at the end of the episode!!And thank you, as always, to our amazing sponsors for making this show possible!Get up to $200 off LASIK with Tylock George Eyecare: tylock.com/tmgGateway GMCCoppola WineAudrie Dollins MediaNorth Texas Food BankCommunity MechanicalEstill Dog PsychologyQualis RoofingOne Day Doors & Closets

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.
