Brains, Bugs, & Breakdowns: Emily Gets Mapped
1w ago01:24:45Tap to summarizeIt finally happened… Emily got a brain map. This week, Sandra Murcott from Braintopia joins The Mom Game to reveal Emily’s results LIVE and compare the wildly different wiring of two mom brains. Are we functioning at peak performance… or just surviving on cortisol and caffeine? We also dive into Emily’s Arlington staycation adventures, makeup tutorials gone sideways, the cruel realities of aging, and the deeply unfair question: why do ears and noses keep growing forever?! Plus — are the flies in Dallas becoming a full-blown invasion? Science, chaos, hormones, bugs, beauty tips, and brainwaves… just another week on TMG.

3w ago00:57:37Tap to summarizeThe Mom Game is coming to you LIVE(ish) from a dog adoption event at Gateway GMC with Dallas Pets Alive! (don’t worry—we still brought wine ). We’re talking 12U baseball bat flips, dancing baseball players, and NFL fallout from the Dianna Russini / Mike Vrabel staycation situation. Plus—it’s playoff hockey time in Texas… let’s go Dallas Stars! Also, Emily drops a surprise IQ test on Julie, and things go… exactly how you’d expect. But we rally to answer the real question: what breed of dog are we? Time to dive in. Thank you, as always to our amazing sponsors!

Transcribe →Rory Wins, Our Feeds Spiral & Taking Care of Yourself!
Apr 1601:13:30Tap to summarizeThis week on The Mom Game, we’re time warping straight out of a dark bar on Masters Sunday (how does that even happen??) and Emily is—once again—keeping her kids humble and embarrassing them per usual. In Sports Skorts, we break down the high.. and low points of the Masters… (did somebody say diarrhea ?) say goodbye to the Mavs season (no tears here) and gear up for playoff hockey as the Stars get ready to roll. Oh—and the Rangers? Kinda streaky! Over in What’s On Your Feed, our algorithms have officially gone off the rails, and we’re diving into the Bieber + Sabrina Carpenter Coachella takeover that has the internet buzzing. At the TMG News Desk, things get spicy with headline drama—from The Pope vs. The President (yep, really) to Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel making waves in the news and in the hot tub. Then we sit down with Dabney Poorter, founder of Restore + Revive, for a fascinating convo every mom needs to hear. We get into her journey from personal diagnosis to building a business, what’s really going on with the food our kids are eating, the peptide craze, and how moms are navigating it all. Plus—how she balances life as a business owner, wife, and mom (and what her kids really think about her work ethic).And of course, we share our own Restore + Revive experience! Thermography, anyone?

Transcribe →Hooligans, Naked Moms, and the Moon Landing
Apr 901:11:36Tap to summarizeThis Week on TMG: We’re recapping Easter weekend, questionable “fake news” (that we accidentally reported) , ADHD cookbooks, and the newfound magic of Juile’s Harry Potter household. In Sports Skorts, we take a few swings at the SEC, react to some bizarre Dallas Stars fan behavior, and touch on a Mavs win over a struggling Lakers team without Luka. (and LeBron was spotted where in Dallas??) Plus, a quick Rangers check-in—a lot of baseball left y’all. In What’s On Your Feed?, we dive into Summer House drama and unpack the viral (and very real) “Naked Mom Theory.” At the TMG News Desk, do you believe in the moon?? We have loved all this Artemis content, crater naming, and what do we think of people who don’t believe any of it? Thank you to our amazing sponsors for making this week's show possible!

Transcribe →Nowhere Else I’d Rather Be! (Featuring a Mom Coach)
Apr 201:23:36Tap to summarizeThat moment when you realize you’re doing what you’re meant to be doing—raising little humans and, in this case, watching them pursue their dreams! Amidst all the professional hubbub, Emily recently had a mom epiphany while watching Henry play baseball. It’s all about finding the right work-life balance, right? Or is it simply about being the best mom you can be and being there for your kids? Does the work stuff even matter? What about our personal goals? Welp, that’s a lot to sift through. It’s a great week to have a highly sought-after “parenting coach” on the show! JoAnn Crohn, M. Ed, is a parenting educator and life coach who helps moms feel confident in raising empowered, self-sufficient kids while pursuing their own goals and passions, and of course we asked her allll the questions. Listen now to hear it all! Thank you as always to our amazing sponsors: Gateway GMC Coppola Wine EnergyBot Texas Live! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Transcribe →The Great Equalizers
Mar 2602:29:31Tap to summarizeGo TMG... it’s ya birthday... We're celebrating SIX whole years of this sh**show! And like al busy moms, we forgot to plan a party for ourselves, so we just settle in and pop the cork on some Coppola wine. Julie and Emily recap their wildly different spring break adventures, from cold family fun in Broken Bow (with no Sasquatch sightings this time), to a Colorado trip which featured a traumatic hike and no-phone dinners. Plus, Emily has some hot takes on the two great equalizers in life (ahem...ew). And do we perhaps have a new addition to our list of “husband crimes?" We all know about the "man cold" but what about the “man surgery?" We had plenty to cover in our Sports Skorts segment, too: We're bracket-obsessed The Stars are playoff-bound Emily is entering her Cheer Mom Era And it's a different kind of Rangers season for our favorite baseball broadcaster And OMG we need to talk about the Taylor Frankie Paul situation!! And how do we handle everyday life while people on X are telling us the world is ending? So much TMG greatness in this episode. Thank you as always to our amazing sponsors for making it all possible!

Mar 1201:04:46Tap to summarizeThe wheels are coming off QUICK this week, starting with some deep sports psychology talk RIGHT out of the gate, followed by Julie admitting to doing “the worst thing she’s ever done” (it happened this week). Emily breaks some big news in our Sports Skorts segment, plus we gotta talk about the red-hot Dallas Stars. And with Spring Training well underway, the Rangers roster is shaping up to look a little bit different this season. Should we expect a different result?? Plus, what in the world happened with Dak and his fiancé? And last but not least, don’t miss the debut of our new segment: Husband Crimes. The first offense on the docket? Dish soaking!

Transcribe →Parton and the Pickle
Mar 501:01:34Tap to summarizeLast week, we said that if we hit 10K followers on Instagram by the time we filmed this week's show, we'd each wear a costume that the other picked out for us. Well, guess what!? We hit 10K! So naturally, this week's show starts off with quite the costume reveal... get ready to meet Dolly Forbes and Pickle Jones! Two years ago, the Mavs and Stars were both gearing up for a deep playoff run with bright futures ahead. Today, the franchises are in two completely different places and it feels like they're headed two completely different directions. How did we get here? Also, we have some pressing parenting questions to address: What do you tell your kids if they want a YouTube channel? How much are paying for youth sports? (Also: WHY??) Do we have to worry about helicopter GRANDparents now? What the heck does it mean when people say they're "salting" their kids?! And last but not least, we've been on a little bit of a prank kick lately, so Emily gives us the latest update on her mom, who passed the latest prank test with flying colors. All that and more on this week's episode of The Mom Game! Thank you as always to our amazing sponsors: Gateway GMC Coppola Wine Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
