Ashley and Lisa welcome their first guest to the show as Chris Darnold joins "Your Mom." Chris shares her journey raising Carolina Panthers' quarterback Sam Darnold and his older sister Frankie. Sam became a household name in 2017 after leading USC to an unforgettable Rose Bowl win over Penn State as a freshman. He was drafted third overall by the New York Jets in 2018 and became the youngest opening-day starting quarterback in NFL history. Sam was traded to the Panthers in 2021, where he became teammates with Lisa's son, Christian McCaffrey.
In this episode, Chris and Lisa discuss the worst phone call they've received from their kids, what the NFL Draft experience is like for a mom, and how they both tried to handle the family dynamics that stem from one sibling's rise to fame.
Come for the story about Sam's grandfather, Dick Hammer. Stay for Lisa's story about where her oldest son was conceived.
