Sports moms, this one is for you! We chat about our experience parenting our kids through sports so far: what sports they've tried and what they're doing now. Then we compare notes and share our best tips for different challenges that come up with kid sports, and what we love about watching our kids in sports. And, we talk about how to gear up to be your best sports mom self!

Just for Friends of the Show on Patreon, we share our sports mom personas and have some real talk about where we think kids sports has lost the plot.

Join us on a musical adventure as we explore the soundtracks of our lives thus far: from our childhoods through angsty teen years, falling in love with our spouses, and becoming parents.

Just for Friends of the Show, there was one song on both of our discographies that was so impactful we need to do a deep dive with you, and maybe sing along together too. Of course we are talking about Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. Elder Millennials, you know what we're talking about.
