Welcome to the Moth Podcast. I'm Mark Solinger, and on this episode... Whether you watch the big game for the great plays, for the seven-layer nachos, for the funny ads, for the halftime performances, my personal favorite game was the one Beyoncé played at, football, like storytelling, brings people together. Because these three stories aren't just about football.

They're about family, growing up, and the things that are revealed by the games we play. First up is Dame Wilburn, who told this story when she hosted a main stage in Traverse City, Michigan. Here's Dame, live at the Moth.

Thank you. That was Dame Wilburn. Dame is a storyteller, Moth Mainstage host, and host of her own podcast, Dame's Eclectic Brain. Her storytelling began as a way of keeping cool in the summertime on her grandmother's porch in Macon, Georgia. Dame has also presented storytelling for the University of Iowa and UCLA. She lives in Detroit, Michigan.

While we were putting together this episode, the Lions were about to face off against the Commanders, and I was curious if Dame had any thoughts about the Lions' path to the big game. Here's what Dame had to say. My mother was the football watcher in my house. So, my mother and I would watch the Lions every year. She would scream at the TV and tell them all the plays they messed up.

She used to tell me that two things would never happen in her lifetime. One, there would never be a black president, and two, the Lions would never make the big game. My mom died in 2007, and the last thing we watched together was the big game. I have lived long enough to see a black president, and this year, I believe the Lions are going to the big game. I am living my mother's dream.

Unfortunately, in the next game, the Lions lost to the Commanders. But hopefully for Dame, they'll be back next year. Our next story is from Tina Moore, who told this at a Houston Story Slam where the theme of the night was control. Here's Tina, live at the Moth.

That was Tina Moore. Tina has shared stories on moth stages in Atlanta, Milwaukee, Santa Monica, and Houston. Her tales often center on her two dogs or beloved pets. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and two dogs, Dolly Waffles and Caesar. I asked Tina if she got more into football after the events of the story. Here's what she had to say.

That fantasy football season was my one and only, finishing in the top four, not too shabby for a rookie mom. From college kickoff, go Georgia Bulldogs, to the NFL's big game, football takes center stage in the Moore House. This past Christmas, the whole family gathered to watch the Georgia-Notre Dame championship game together.
