The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz

Kelly and Lizz, sans guests, have a LOT to catch you up on today. Kell is feeling super pregnant, is looking forward to the holidays, and will be doing a lot of hand washing and saying her prayers to keep her and the baby healthy into the new year. Did today's millennial word start with drag queens? In any case, 'wig,' as in, 'I was so shocked my wig fell off,' is just another bit of Gen Z slang that the gals will not be using. Kelly's driveway dump features Alexa timer parenting, teaching your kids to be polite to robots, and how she plans to make her hospital stay a super cozy spa time with her new baby. The gals discuss when the Christmas tree will go up, and Kelly gets jazzed about the yard blow-up she's sneaking into her outdoor decor. Her excitement spills over to kitten heels making a comeback. To wrap up the segment, Kelly shares a little rant about giving credit for vague advice. Minivan mom Megan writes in on today's advice segment looking for a spacious recommendation for her family. Kelly explores this mama's many options, including another minivan for the teens and a sleeker Expedition or Tahoe for herself. In industry news, EV registrations through September are up 57% in the US. Volvo is releasing a new three-row SUV EV. The EX 90 will be under $80,000 and will launch in 2024. The car is said to be safer than any Volvo car to come before it.

The queen herself and the Carpool’s most iconic guest, Car Grandma Kris, returns for a family-packed episode with Kelly and Lizz. ‘Guap’ — not guac — is today’s millennial word of the day. And while Kelly and Lizz don’t need to be ‘coutin’ their guap,’ at least they now know Gen Zers are talking about their cash-money, not an add-on to their Chipotle bowl. A love and wisdom-filled Q&A with today’s guest brings you all the secrets to life, love, and aging in reverse. Kris shares where you can find the fountain of youth on your local Trader Joe’s shelves and names one of her favorite products for achieving a little glow every day. Kelly and Lizz also ask their mom about her current ride, how she met their dad, and how she juggled raising five kids along with the rest of life. You won’t want to miss her sage parenting, marriage, and holiday planning advice. The Car Grandma also joins Kelly and Lizz for a special taste drive of Mom Water. Mom Water sponsors today’s test drive, sending over their iconic, fun, and refreshing drinks for the gals to sip (and spit, in Kelly’s case). Not only is Mom Water a fantastic non-carbonated seltzer alternative, their cans are also stunning, and their ingredients are super simple. Each flavor has a cute and classic mom name like Linda, Karen, Sandy, or Carol. In short, the gals are hooked. Grab your Mom Water merch with our 20% off code CARMOM20 and Follow Mom Water on Instagram at @drinkmomwater. A leaked video of the Honda Pilot — that has now been scrubbed from the internet — headlines today’s industry news while deer crashes are up 16% with the daylight savings time change and dealership pushback on Ford EV mandates. @brunchwithbabs brings us today’s ditch the drive-through: dump and bake pizza casserole. This four-ingredient recipe from Kelly and Lizz’s favorite 74-years-young insta-obsession is baked mac and cheese with a twist.

Lizz and Mattie's first suburban Halloween might have been a bummer, but Lizz is back, and the gals are ready to show up and show out. Kelly and Lizz bring a millennial word of the day that is hot off the press: 'rizz.' Grayson's boyfriend, Drew, shares the word's meaning via audio note, and the gals defend Drew's honor after playing the gag-worthy slang definition.

Kelly and Lizz are making sassy sister Halloween plans and spilling the tea on the 2023 Kila Telluride event on today’s episode of The Carpool Podcast. Killing it is out, and ‘ate that’ is in on today’s millennial word of the day. And the gals definitely ‘ate’ the new Car Mom car buying course.

Today’s episode sponsor is thecarmomofficial.com, where you can now grab your copy of the course and get to buying. Inside you’ll find absolutely everything you need to know about the car-buying process. Kelly and Lizz dub San Antonio, Texas c-u-u-u-t-e and have only positive things to say about their stay at the Hotel Emma. Goat cheese, fennel, and rosemary were everywhere, and Kelly was all about seconds. The 2023 Telluride has a handful of exterior updates, and the gals share their take on how Kia rolls out new models year after year. Kelly brings a click monster of an article to discuss titled, “Stylists reveal 14 items from your 2022 wardrobe that you should get rid of,” from Insider. From headbands to high-waisted pants, the article doubles down on styles Kelly and Lizz thought were just coming back. Moral of the story: Love your body, love what you’re wearing, and love the way you’re made. In today’s advice segment, Kelly directs a listener to Gap to find a cute holiday outfit for her little guy. Kelly’s driveway dump brings you slippers galore and a star-studded, hilarious, and wholesome movie recommendation: What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

Little cutie Corbin, who’s now a Carpool star, kicks off today’s episode, which is packed with the segments you know and love. “Big brain” is today’s millennial word of the day, as in, Tik Tok is small brain, and IG is big brain. 90’s throwbacks from the driveway diaries include bubbles you could eat and silk accessory scarves that are coming back hot. Kelly also clears up all the confusion surrounding the two-ingredient pumpkin muffin recipe. The great eight of children’s cereal — Kelly and Lizz’s favorite nightcap — is here. Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Pebbles, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, Reese’s Puffs, Captain Crunch, and Trix are going head to head. Cereal connoisseur and Stumpe sibling Craig joins the gals for a tiebreaker. Kelly raves about her favorite Edmunds.com tools that make car shopping so easy — a hat tip to the fantastic sponsor of today’s industry news. Kelly’s favorite tools are the comparison tool for a side-by-side comparison of four vehicles, the price checker tool for comparing car prices in your area, and the appraisal tool that shows you what your car is worth in minutes. The Acura ZDX collab with General motors is giving precision EV essence, and Mercedes is expanding its crossover lineup with the ugliest car Kelly’s ever seen in her life, the EQE. Industry news also brings a report of the Rivian R1T recall repair process that affected 12,000 vehicles. How long did the inspection and repair take? Listen in to find out. Ditch the drive-through sweet chili salmon from Kelly and Lizz’s new favorite Instagrammer: Trader Joe’s Five Items or Less.

Does a Carpool episode exist that is not absolutely jam-packed? Absolutely not. In today’s episode, Jessica from Edmunds spills some car industry tea in a special interview segment, Kelly defends her podcast one-liners, and Grayson brings us the millennial word of the day “boxed.” Kelly’s driveway diaries are full of curiosity. With a dash of sass, the gals explore: Where are the baby shark kids now? Has anyone checked with North Face about their fanny packs? And why is the value of an IG follower more than the value of a TikTok follower? Lizz shares about her smashing success with her latest new-construction home improvement project, understandably brags about her Facebook Marketplace finds, and shares a bit of a warning about clicking random listings that could lead down an algorithm rabbit hole. What’s happening in the car market that isn’t getting enough attention? Edmunds’ Executive Director of Insights, Jessica, is here to tell all. To top off the interview, Jessica brings us today’s ditch the drive-through: salmon in the air fryer.

Kelly feels 99-years-old testing out today’s millennial word — fade — followed by perusing a J14 magazine complete with quizzes, horoscopes, and first-date advice. Deux cookie dough from Shark Tank stars in today’s taste drive. Three gluten-free, vegan flavors go head to head: pink frosting, brownie batter, and smores. Which flavors will get the fade, and which one will win Carpool approval? Driveway dump is now driveway diaries where Kelly brings you her hopes, dreams, and fears.

Is it a vent sesh or another episode of the Carpool pod chock full of all your favorite segments? How about both? Lizz brings the new construction neighborhood news, and Kelly reports on her ‘big trash week’ treasures. Kelly has some things to get off her chest, and the episode wraps with a few heartfelt tears. Kelly and Lizz’s little sister Sydney came through with the millennial word of the day today: slay. As in, “That’s so slay,” and, “Stay slay forever!” The gals continue their search for a soda to drink that isn’t soda on the taste drive with the Cola, Cherry Cola, and Dr. Zevia flavors from Zevia. Kelly and Lizz don’t see eye to eye on the reviews but agree that they’d splurge on the Mountain Dew and Grape Soda-inspired flavors to try them, too. Kelly shares how she’s using Canva to make mood boards for her kids’ rooms and recommends a podcast listen: How I Built This featuring Melanie Perkins, the creator of Canva. Kelly recaps her lasagna marathon and is excited for her next meal-prep date with a bestie that’ll stock her freezer full of tasty chicken enchiladas. The gals love the new buzz about butter boards, and their chat triggers Kelly’s next pregnancy craving. Lizz adds some Trader Joe’s dinner inspiration to the mix and suggests that everyone follow the fabulous Anna Lisa over at @traderjoes5itemsorless. Industry news today is sponsored by Edmunds.

The recap you’ve been waiting for is HERE! Kelly and Lizz are living their dream come true. It was amazing. Iconic. A movement. A historic event…IT WAS THE CAR MOM AUTO SHOW!!! The auto show setup was an absolute RUSH. The gals share how they got ready for the show and who their MVP team members turned out to be. One amazing Car Mom follower even got put to work (voluntarily!) and became a staple team member of the auto show overnight. Kelly and Lizz reveal which car at the show had the most QR code hits and which one surprised car show-goers. Attendees lined up at the door before the two o’clock start and came from as far as Seattle, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, and Colorado. The gals are obsessed with the crew who showed up and share what made this show extra special compared to every other audio show they’ve been to. Today’s Gen Z and Millennial updates include an ‘emo’ inspired phrase of the day and a new trend that Kelly and Lizz are pretty excited about: ballet flats. They both agree the chunky shoe moment was getting out of hand, and they’re ready for these darling shoes to have their time again. Three quake-worthy industry news stories bring you an exciting update from Hertz rental cars and BP. The companies are teaming up to create an EV charging network — but how will the logistics work?! 40,000 Ford F-150 trucks are stuck in storage and waiting to be ready for sale since they’re missing their blue oval badge, and Volkswagen is creating a vision of the future for travel that will help you sleep on the go.

How’d The Carmom Auto Show go? Well, the news isn’t quite here yet!

Did they ask for enough help? Stay tuned for the post-show recap next week!

Kelly and Lizz give their uncensored reviews and ratings of the Swedish fish, peach rings, watermelon bites, caramels, gummy worms, Cola gummies, licorice, and sour blast buddies.

The 2023 Honda Pilot is finally being released in the most awkward way, and it’s keeping Kelly on the edge of her seat, asking all of the questions in today’s industry news.

Kelly is sick to her stomach — and it's not the 20-week baby scan that has her tummy in a twist. The Car Mom Auto Show is coming up this Sunday, and the gals are ready, rain or shine. Bring your umbrella and get ready to check out the Honda Odyssey that even the NY Auto Show couldn't snag. 'Busted' makes an appearance as the millennial word of the day. This Gen Z slang is infiltrating today's controversial great eight, now renamed 'the great hate.' Right now, EVERYTHING from the 2000s is back, and the gals are anticipating…and dreading what's next. Today's great hate features high school and college fashion trends of the 2010s. Thin infinity scarves, the color coral, owls, and chunky necklaces are just a few in the lineup. And wouldn't we all like to know when we're finally going to get our Zenon Girl of the 21st Century space girl vibes instead of these ever-returning trends? CBT News reports major automakers are diving into the metaverse to engage with digital car buyers. Toyota is focusing on its metaverse workspace, and Audi is turning their cars into moving theme parks. Lambo, Mercedes, and Ford are getting into NFTs and other VR technologies, while Subaru and Lexus are busy winning awards for their reputations.

Second summer is heating up today’s episode with a controversial taste drive meets great eight (plus a few extras). An exciting invitation arrives, and ditch the drive-through brings the slow cooker magic and a delicious and healthy dessert. Kelly and Lizz talk about the hard-working food bloggers they could never be. After deleting TikTok, Lizz has no idea what’s going on with Gen Z, yet she’s scraped the bottom of the barrel for today’s millennial phrase of the day, “take several seats.” If you’re too much, take several seats. In the spirit of Gen Z trends, Kelly and Lizz share the fall fashions they love and are resisting. An invite arrives for the debut of the 2023 Kia Telluride in San Antonio, Texas and the gals wonder if the EV 9 invite is on its way next. Ford’s CEO is sticking with the V8 manual experience in the new Mustang that debuted recently at the Detroit International Auto Show. How I Built This featured RJ Scaringe recently, and the Rivian story did not disappoint. And to wrap up industry news, the gals share why Toyota isn’t all-in on electric vehicles — and why they aren’t. The ultimate taste drive and great twelve today is brought to you by listener demand and trolling comments on the ‘gram. The Carpool audience came out swinging for their favorite candy bars, so Kelly and Lizz are doing their due diligence today with just about every other bar you could think of. Was Kelly sleeping on the true winner? Is Lizz just scared for her marriage, or can she be unbiased in her vote? And will the gals de-throne Twix in the end? Oh, the chocolatey drama. Today’s advice segment covers a few handy car-selling tips, and the show wraps with a full ditch the drive-through meal. A listener shares her slow-cooker chicken mushroom stroganoff with peas that looks FIRE, and Lizz shares a healthy PB and chocolate treat from Earthy Andy’s Plant Over Processed.

Kelly and Lizz are giving basic and proud of it in this fall-tastic episode! If *you're* not basic this fall, what's wrong with *you*? The gals are providing the $36 service everyone needs right now — a taste drive of the full lineup of Starbucks fall flavors. They're also sharing the one fall thing that has got to go and chatting about their pie baking goals. Today's millennial word of the day is 'next question.' As in: "Sydney, is there anyone special you'd like to add to the family group chat?" Sydney: "Next question." Kelly and Lizz's last three transactions reveal an Abercrombie haul, an up-and-coming trend purchase at DSW, and Kelly's search for bump-friendly styles. The gals cover a few fall micro-trends, their upcoming color sessions, and how Brown is having a moment. In true crafty fall fashion, Lizz is loving her upcycled pot project, and Kelly is gearing up to make granny squares to crochet baby Stumpe's blanket. Pioneer Woman's Chicken Tortilla Soup makes an appearance in today's ditch the drive through — and it smacks! Kelly also shares her faux meal planning that she's calling "Meal Vibing." Industry news is model heavy. Kelly and Lizz report what they love about the new "Equinox" they toured, yet wonder, "If it doesn't look like an Equinox and doesn't act like an Equinox…what makes it an Equinox?" The devil works hard; Jeep works harder as they promise a line of 4 all-electric SUVs by 2025. To wrap up the episode, Lizz answers a listener's question about home decor, wedding photos, and bouquet preservation. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on your next car (or just got a life question for us)?

Just when the gals think there’s nothing to talk about, there’s everything to talk about. Today’s episode kicks off with an often overlooked self-care practice: car washes. Everyone knows a clean car drives better, so plug it into your routine, load up the kids for the wash adventure, and get yourself a car-wash membership. It’s 2022, and the gals don’t do Mean Girls vibes, but today’s millennial word of the day is the controversial ‘pic me girl.’ As in, Tyler is a pic me girl about his favorite candy bar — which is in the running for the best gas station grab in today’s great eight. Kelly and Lizz commit a crime and will probably be canceled for their picks in today’s great eight featuring Snickers, Twix, Kit Kats, Reese’s, 3 Musketeers, Hershey’s Cookies and Cream, Peanut M&Ms, and Milk Duds. Their secret candy desires are revealed as the gals crown the ultimate candy bar that’ll help you get your Halloween priorities straight, too. Micro-influencer business advice is back as Kelly and Lizz share about getting started, keeping it simple, and being social. They encourage anyone wanting to become a micro-influencer to get consistent with stories and reels and share some absolute non-negotiable no’s about influencing on the ‘gram. → Tag The Carpool on Instagram in your stories and share your successes! Get the Hyundai IONIQ 7 on your radar; the concept car is officially out, a man in Texas has the world’s first Rivian-powered vasectomy, and Kelly has questions about the sustainability of the electric used car market in industry news. To wrap up the show, Lizz shares her new favorite snack that’ll satisfy your sushi cravings and bookmarks a fun dino nugget mashed potato volcano to make with her future kiddos.

Will Lizz get ratioed for her seasonal stance later in the episode? If you’ve had enough of the internet lately — Kelly has — you’ll be nodding along as the gals discuss how unhinged Facebook reels are and how they beat the Tik Tok toxicity by switching to the less addicting IG reels. → Kelly and Lizz are at 76K subscribers on YouTube, shooting for 100K!

Bonfires, PSLs, home decor, and sweaters go head to head in this great eight. The gals call on mom to break their tie, which leads to mom’s chili taking over today’s ditch the drive-through. You can find mom’s legendary, award-winning chili recipe over on thecarmomofficial.com.

Kelly’s gone rogue this week at Carters, Target, and Old Navy after finding out big baby news that she reveals on today’s show. Lizz adds to the baby fun with a list of illegal baby names worldwide. These two can’t keep a secret to save their lives, so today’s millennial word of the day — gatekeeping — just isn’t in their wheelhouse. The long-awaited Magic Spoon Cereal test drive is here! Do the 5 cups inside each box justify the $8.99 price tag? Kelly and Lizz taste-test the Fruity, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate flavors to find out. Kelly briefly updates us on her BeReal experience and dives into the industry news she managed to scrounge up this week. A recall of 2020-2022 Hyundai Palisades and Kia Tellurides over a fire risk affects 281,000 vehicles. The gals talk about air tag safety concerns and common signs of trafficking before getting ramped up about the upcoming Chevy Equinox unveiling that they’ll be in Detroit for next week. To wrap up industry news, Kelly shares a shocking story of a recent 2023 Corvette purchase in Texas. Ditch the drive-through today comes from Brittany in Philadelphia. The gals were on the hunt for a fantastic chicken salad, and Brittany delivered a delicious recipe with a poppy seed twist. A listener writes in for advice about adult birthday gift giving, and Kelly and Lizz share their thoughts about gift-y people, birthday people, and horoscope people.

Two very married gals are here today, bringing you SEASON 2 of the Carpool Podcast! They just keep climbing the charts — oops — so this episode kicks off with a little re-introduction. The millennial word of the day is clean girl aesthetic, and like most Gen Z things, it’s hard to explain. Basically, Hailey Bieber + Athletic Greens = clean girl. Kelly and Liz offer a (not sponsored) apology to Dime perfume and share how wearing the perfume went over the last week. The test drive was a little harsh, but both gals are seriously considering a purchase now. Today’s taste drive features three entirely unhinged oreo flavors: Toffee crunch Pumpkin spice with a vanilla cookie Caramel coconut that is giving Girl Scout Samoas Then, Kelly brings a wild card topic to the show: MLMs, micro-influencers, and making a little extra cash with affiliate links. Industry news dives into Carvana’s new influencer commission model, why Kelly and Liz are not fans of the company, and what’s next for automobile affiliates. An inventory update from Automotive News estimates how long we’ll be at inventory record lows, while a Toyota report records highs in customer satisfaction. Kelly gets an invite from VIN Fast to tour their facilities in Vietnam, and data from IC Cars reveals the shocking percentage of EVs in each state. Ditch the drive-through, an artichoke rice salad from Brunch with Babs, had Kelly sold at first sight. Rice-A-Roni? Say no more. You can use this recipe as a side dish or add chicken to make it a meal. Yum! Are car dealership trade-in promotions spam mail or legit?

The newlywed St. Johns are in the house for the season finale of the Carpool podcast. Of course, a wedding recap is on the agenda. Gen Zers are unhinged about today’s millennial phrase, and Lizz and Kelly agree it was overused on the wedding weekend. The episode rounds out with a test drive and ditch the drive-through. Wedding questions from the carpool crew reveal Lizz and Mattie’s favorite parts of the day, what went wrong, how was Kelly’s speech, and who was the most fun (hint: his wife is pregnant). The gals share a hilarious story about Tyler’s love for our Carpool fans, which is so next level that it resulted in two Carpool listeners making a forced appearance at the wedding reception. You’ll also hear who was bridezilla, what Mattie thought about the ‘first look,’ who saved the day with their seltzers, and the one thing Kelly didn’t have on hand. The only thing close to industry news today is that the crew rode off into the sunset in the new Expedition. The unanimous consensus from Lizz, Mattie, and Kelly is that the day was one of the best days of their lives. ***Lizz and Mattie are now off on honeymoon in Mexico, so there will be no episode next week! The following week Kelly and Lizz will be back with two episodes a week for the brand new season.*** Today’s test drive is the Dime Perfume sample set. 7 Summer is giving popular girl in 8th grade with a bit of Victoria’s Secret, Lovely Dream is sweet and sassy, ILYSB is gushers in a bottle, and Malibu Night brings the straight-up coconut vibes. Bubble guts, anyone? Today’s episode is brought to you by My Binto and their incredible digestive enzymes.

on Lizz’s last episode, as a bride-to-be, Kelly commits to turning down her drama, Lizz tries to keep her cool the week before her wedding, and they share a sisterly bond over their love for any recipe that calls for a stick of butter. Kelly and Lizz try their millennial best to remember what Visco girls are and decipher the ironic from what’s genuine in the Gen Z vernacular as they define the millennial word of the day ‘and I oop.’ Round two of the (so far disappointing) Ollipops is here with a test drive of the ginger lemon, cherry vanilla, and strawberry vanilla flavors. Finally, one soda takes the cake and puts Ollipops somewhere between a seltzer water and soda pop experience. Old wives’ tales are in the house! The gals give predicting the gender of Kelly’s baby a shot, and there’s more to come. Today, they analyze Kelly’s food cravings, hair and skin glow, and mood before pulling out a Chinese gender chart. In the last three transactions segment, Lizz gets ready for her honeymoon with a clutch and a wifey sweatshirt, while Kelly finally feels good enough to eat her favorite salad from Chick-fil-a. Lizz is also gearing up for some video recording of the podcast episodes, and Kelly is going all-in on Hatty’s wardrobe. Industry news is some hot goss on a Volkswagen throwback, Rivian layoffs, and wholesale vehicle prices decreasing. A listener brings the Mississippi pot roast to ditch the drive-through. And the gals give a bit of parenting and tips on getting started with stocks. Don’t miss the summer merch mentioned at the end of the episode! Grab your ‘So True, Bestie” tees here.

BIG baby news is here this week, and Lizz dives right into a preggo Q&A for Kelly. Will she find out the baby’s gender? How are the two Stumpe kiddos warming up to the news? Can the whole Stumpe family still fit in the three-bedroom house? And, of course, is the Expedition here to stay? This week’s millennial word of the day is a Gen Z app trend called ‘Be Real.’ This French, spur-of-the-moment social media app is all the rage in the Gen Z crowd, but Kelly and Lizz are just not ready for this level of real. Change is stressful, and the gals are torn over the new Instagram updates. The consensus? The Carpool podcast is in, and Instagram is out, but they’re still not leaving anytime soon! On this week’s test drive, Kelly and Lizz give three Ollipops flavors a shot as their public service. Let’s just say Mattie will have plenty of rejects to drink later. In industry news, Sequoia by Toyota is reporting better mpg as a hybrid, and Kelly is ready to get her hands on one to tour. Lizz gives a listener some small business wisdom and shares her app and routine recommendations for moms who lift. Kelly shares an absolute jaw-dropping rave over Naptime Kitchen’s creamy chicken enchiladas — a crockpot and freezer meal that had her and Tyler going back for seconds (and lunch the next day). Check out this recipe that’ll make a 9 x 13 pan for dinner and two 8 x 8 pans for the freezer! Today’s episode is brought to you by My Binto. Kelly and Lizz rave about the inositol they discovered through My Binto and how it can help reduce anxiety, support hair growth, balance blood sugar, and curb cravings.

“Do you even know us?!” These two rusty gals are back from vacation, just hit 500,000 downloads of the Carpool Podcast, and want to send a huge thank you to their listeners! Lizz is getting married in two weeks and reports on the last of her dress saga. After a tiff with a disgruntled employee, a chat with the shop owner, and a few more fittings, Lizz finally has THE dress in her hands! In the millennial word of the day segment, Kelly and Lizz admit, “Drip we are not, dry we are,” in their biker shorts and tanks. Their most recent trip to 30A was full of chilling in the best way, minus the $14 hot dogs and chicken nuggets by the pool. A highlight of the trip that inspired today’s test drive was the completely unhinged candy store. The gals didn’t come home with sardine candy canes or hot dog cotton candies, but they are giving some Fruit Loop, Kool Aid, and Sour Patch grape gummies a try. Next up on Kelly and Lizz’s last three debit card transactions, Kelly’s on a health kick and feeling inspired in the kitchen, Lizz flushes $58 down the drain, and Kelly tackles a home reno update. In industry news, Rivian rolls out their first electric Amazon delivery vehicles and reports a staggering list of reservations for their new R1S SUV. The new Honda CRV stokes the Rav 4 battle and proves it’s a car to watch, which Kelly and Lizz would love to do at a Honda event (wink wink, Honda!).

Kelly and Lizz have got places to go and people to marry this summer, but they’re back from ‘The Bach’ and ready to recap their weekend with their girlies on this loaded episode. Kicking the episode off today is a light hearted millennial word of the day ‘core memory.’ As in, the bachelorette weekend is, for sure, a core memory! The gals headed to their family’s lake house in the Ozarks where dad captained the boat. The 200 seltzers Kelly bought for the weekend plus a batch of the Suntrup family classic Yucca made for quite the mix of day drinking and night drinking that left Lizz yearning for her middle of the day naps. Kelly and Lizz give a nod to the power of dressing in color schemes with your friends. Mama Kelly frets over the dangers of night swimming and brags up her morning parfait bar that was served alongside quiche and cinnamon rolls. Bachelorette jeopardy was a huge hit and exactly zero twerking happened on the cove-out — mostly because the gals don’t know how. Industry news is a little sad today as reports of new car prices and leases continue to rise. On the bright side, Bloomberg reports that the US has crossed the eclectic car tipping point for mass adoption with 5% of new car sales powered only by electricity. Today’s ditch the drive through is all about Kelly’s fridge clean out. She’s normalizing everyone in the house eating different meals and using muffin tin charcuterie trays for the kids. To wrap up the episode the gals bring another new advice column segment to answer a question from a mom from northern Michigan looking for advice on buying a car for her new teenage driver.

The gals’ brand new advice segment is HERE! But before Kelly and Lizz dish their ideas on best family cars, they’ve got a fantastic little lineup for you. Kelly gives a not-so-glam review of motherhood and hates on the summer heat. She’s also got a recap of her recent trip to Indy with the fam including her first Torchy’s Tacos experience, fun with the kids, and the most darling parks she’s ever seen. Lizz brings a shocking and disturbing millennial word for girls that came straight from the mouth of a true Gen Z’er. It leaves Kelly and Lizz wondering…what are the Gen Z ladies calling the men?! Today’s great 8 segment flips the script from last week where Kelly and Lizz decided which of the Disney male leads would win the Hunger Games. This week, the gals are lining up Elsa, Rapunzel, Mulan, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Pocahontas, and Meg from Hercules. In the show’s first ever advice segment working and pregnant with #2 mom, Angela, writes in to get Car Mom’s advice on whether she and her husband should go with a Kia Telluride or a Hyundai Palisade as their new family car. Kelly and Lizz talk about car seat placement, third rows, and three-kiddo convenience. In industry news storage startup StowIt.com provides people a place to park their cars, boats, and RVs AirBnB style. Then, Kelly and Lizz discover the most popular vehicle in each state and which has the highest percentage of minivans on the road. Lizz brings a ditch the drive through that will help you figure out what to do with your leftover hamburger buns from dinner or a backyard barbeque. To wrap up the show, Kelly and Lizz check in on their summer goals and talk Peloton, painting kitchens, and peach salsa.

This week Kelly and Lizz are spying on a couple of grant-seeking scientists…aka they’re loving the cheesy love story inside of this month’s book club book The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. On the docket today is a millennial phrase of the day — “It’s not that deep” — as well as a hysterical great eight, decent industry news, and a ditch the drive through coming to you from a TCP listener in Ohio. Quick note from Kelly and Lizz: For July and August we’ll be publishing one episode per week. In September we’ll get back to two episodes per week. Lizz did her first ad on Instagram and is taking the slow burn growth of her following day by day. She’s happy to stay behind the camera for tours and content creation, though, since Kelly is, in Lizz’s words, atrocious at holding the camera. In the Tik Tok inspired great eight this week Kelly and Lizz decide which Disney princes would survive the Hunger Games. Featured are princes and male love interests from The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Tangled, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Princess and the Frog, and Sleeping Beauty. Who do the gals think can fight AND survive? In industry news, hopefully we’ve turned a corner and aren’t just headed downhill as demand numbers are slowing down a little bit. Interest rates and prices are up, some dealerships are trying to survive without much new car inventory, and companies like CarMax are seeing a decline in retail sales. Kia and Hyundai cars between 2011-2015 are being stolen everywhere after viral videos have shown how to start these cars without a key and Ford announced this week they’re no longer going to be allowing buyouts of their EV leases. The gals speculate why Ford is following Tesla’s lead. To round out the episode Kelly and Lizz rant about Subdivisions, HOA’s, toxic neighborhood Facebook groups, and dudes on hoverboards selling bug spray at dinner time. Speaking of dinner time, this week’s ditch the drive through is a delicious and quick throw-it-together meal that is a whole-family favorite at Kylie’s home in Ohio.

Warning: Bumpy ride ahead! Lizz is back from her 10 hour drive to Dallas WITH NO DRESS. The gals share their last three debit transactions — which may just spark some controversy and reveal the next book club book. Lizz’s wildest wedding dress fears came true this week complete with a near black-out, dress that wasn’t even close to fitting, and a wedding date quickly approaching. Kelly is going hard on hyping her backup and fending off the nightmare stories from other brides. At least the duo have Lizz’s bachelorette party to look forward to in a couple of weeks! Kelly and Lizz recount their last three debit card transactions. Kelly shares her bread bagel slice secrets (is this bagel heresy?) and purchase of a new, life changing 16 slice apple slicer. Lizz’s card is still getting a wedding themed workout with her most recent purchases of new wedding shoes and a fake diamond ring for the boat ride. The millennial word of the day — ship — is here to make Kelly, Lizz, and their millennial mom listeners a little less lame. The Carpool Podcast officially ships Lizz and Mattie. In industry news, new vehicles cost more, but there’s no shortage of buyers. The average transaction price for a vehicle is now over half of the annual US median household income and Kelly’s passion for affordable family vehicles is on the rise, too. A new collab between Honda Motor Company and Sony looks like a Tesla baby, and Kia shares its EV strategy and hopes to debut eight EVs by 2029. A short and sweet ditch the drive through comes to you from Kelly’s freezer and Stauffer’s lasagna. This one’s not so quick to cook, but it definitely belongs in your back pocket as a no-brainer, family-friendly, crave-worthy dinner option.

Long-lost Suntrup sis joins Lizz and Kelly today. Sydney is a 2000’s model Suntrup and brings a Gen Z flair to the show with a bit of slang, Q&A, and a college-friendly ditch the drive through. Kelly’s been practicing her maid of honor speech in the car and Sydney doles out some tips on how she can be both funny and heartfelt.
