07/11/24 • 58 min

Sometimes motherhood is just hard—Lizz had to go daycare shopping and she's been in tears since. The encouragement and comments from The Car Mom Crew Facebook Group were just the balm her mom's heart needed.

Tyler will be helping her hang a frame TV over her fireplace and her Pink Blush Maternity haul will be helping her get ready for the Auto Show. Kelly scored her maternity haul at H&M, ordered a bearded dragon leash with George, and she couldn't help but order just one more budget carseat for the Auto Show.
Jen is trying for her first baby and hauls around several teenagers with sports gear. What kind of car can she get to accommodate her busy family that will keep her under a $400-500 monthly payment? Kelly says the Honda Pilot might have just the versatility she needs.

$1.25 FOR A SLICE OF CHEESE?
The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
03/16/23 • 40 min
Kelly and Lizz are back with riveting stories from their wildly interesting lives including a towel closet cleaning hack from Kelly and a nursery set up update from Lizz.
CEO is today’s millennial word of the day. Gen Zers might say Kelly and Lizz are the CEOs of automotive podcasts.
Kelly’s driveway dump is full of influencers and inspiration. She recently purchased a new cookbook by listener Little Bits of Real Food called Unbelieve-a-Bowl and she’s never wanted to cook so many recipes from one book. Toasted Table is bringing simple and delicious food inspo to Kelly’s kitchen, too, with her daily toast posts. Kelly has also found a couple of solid reasons to shop for her spring wardrobe: Kathleen Post’s iconic capsule wardrobe share and Merrick White’s four-ways-to-wear content.
Lizz’s purchase of two Pink Blush maternity dresses for her baby shower kick of the last three transactions segment. Kelly is sprucing up her home, even if they might move, with a new entryway light fixture, is all about the Abercrombie dad shorts, and has mixed reviews on Thrive Market. Lizz is ordering another puppy bumper and raising awareness about this brilliant product for little dogs.
Today’s taste drive is the Jimmy John’s Capresé Salami Pesto 16 inch sandwich. Between the balsamic vinaigrette and pesto this sandwich doesn’t even need the (FANTASTIC) Kickin’ Ranch to be crave-worthy.
In industry news, General Motors will stop forcing $1500 OnStar subscriptions on their Buick, GM, and GMC buyers. Kelly says way to go — there’s no benefit other than more money for the manufacturers in these subscriptions. Kelly and Lizz are both excited to hear about VW’s Scout brand building EV pickups and SUVs in the US with production starting in 2026.
Listener Megan brings us a ditch the drive-through that is perfect for when you’re craving something light and fresh — like Chipotle. Perfect for spring, this Greek chicken bowl is sure to please with jasmine rice, tzatziki dip, chicken, cucumber, roma tomatoes, and fresh slices of lemon for a tangy squeeze.

THE DARK SIDE OF MOMMY COMMENTS
The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
03/02/23 • 53 min
Kelly is on the get little program, Lizz is on the get big program, and Fred-uccini Alfredo is recovering from his tongue tie procedure — no fun.
Part 2 of Lizz’s millennial word of the day, dating edition is all about toxic relationship behavior. Cookie jarring, love bombing, and orbiting. What are they and how will Kelly fit them all into one sentence? Listen in to find out.
On Kelly's driveway dump she shares her favorite hacks: upgrading her Jimmy John's experience with Kickin’ Ranch and using a twenty minute timer to tidy up the house or — better yet — the car. Lizz says she has found the dark side of mommy-comments on social media and the gals rant about car seat safety pseudo-experts.
trü frü is the star of the taste drive today. Kelly and Lizz are ready to save you a few bucks by determining which flavors are worth your $8 and which ones you can skip.
The taste-driven flavors on this episode are: blueberries in white and dark chocolate, bananas in peanut butter and dark chocolate, raspberries in white and dark chocolate, and strawberries in white and milk chocolate.

A new GM patent to automatically clean touch screen smudges kicks off today’s star-studded industry news. Kelly and Lizz share what they think about a conveyor belt floor patent and how both the GM patent and floor patent are really just teasers of what’s yet to come. An alarming crime trend at funerals and car washes and anticipation of Rivian’s major Q4 loss round out the segment.
A Carpool listener writes in and asks what she should do when her super cheap Honda Passport lease runs out. Kelly and Lizz talk lease extensions, buy outs, trade ins, interest rates and more to help the leasing listener get the most bang for her buck in a tough car market.
Ditch the drive-through is brought to you courtesy of Kelly’s spontaneity. Her newly created sauerkraut soup (great for those who aren’t huge raw sauerkraut fans) is chock full of onion, carrots, cauliflower, tomato paste, chicken stock, potatoes, polish sausage, drained sauerkraut, and is seasoned with caraway and dill.

TYLER RIDING SHOTGUN WITH KELLY AND FRED
The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
02/28/23 • 61 min
Warning: Whiplash may occur from this special episode with Kelly, Tyler, and of course bebe Fred so, buckle up!
The millennial word of the day comes from Kelly’s sibling Sydney. “Chronically online,” is meant to describe mostly trolls who are always on social media. Kelly and Tyler agree that all trolls may be millennials and that Gen Z will meanwhile be solving world hunger.
Tyler shares his long-awaited driveway dump and discusses The Crown, the Harry and Megan documentary, and his take on Prince Charles’ “adversity.” Then, tells a ten-second dad-version of Fred’s birth story that includes multiple food breaks.
Bathroom permissions, sleeping in, clean rooms that stay clean, square feet, errands, flying by the seat of their pants, Friday nights, and TV freedom make Kelly and Tyler’s list for the great eight of things they took for granted before becoming parents. Which privilege will prevail?
Tyler answers dad-of-a-newborn questions from the Carpool that include how the duo divides household chores, the best and hardest part of having three kids, and Tyler’s favorite thing about each kid (and Kelly)!
Making it to the top of industry news today, entry level Teslas now cost less than the average new car. Are they ruining their luxury brand? Car and Driver reports that Florida dogs may have to keep their cute little heads in their cars, and Tyler’s got no dog in this fight. IIHS is doing the most and giving awards for 28 models top safety pick plus this year — a number that’s up from the top safety awarded models of 2022. Last, but certainly not least, which auto brand boasts 55% female owners?
Tyler just learned how to make mac and cheese this week, so our ditch the drive-through comes from a listener instead. Hilary shares her salsa verde pork in the crock pot recipe that’s great over rice, with veggies, or rolled up in a tortilla.

WE ATE THE GREAT EIGHT
The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
05/02/23 • 50 min
We all ate green ketchup and survived! But that’s not the kind of ‘ate’ that Gen Zers are talking about. Today’s Millennial word of the day ‘ate’ refers to a performance or outfit that was done extremely well.
Lizz takes the fastest showers in the world, inhales her food, and jumps out of the car when she gets home while Kelly is stopping to smell the roses — both on her walks and in that blissful moment in the driveway when you put your car in park but haven’t gotten out yet. Enter...the perfect time for her driveway dumping.
Kelly and Lizz are on a health journey, working out, reading labels, and buying the dirty dozen organic. They agree that 1% better is the goal. PB&Js still smack, Wendy’s on Facebook is unhinged, and Lizz reveals her biggest tech pet peeve. The gals also debate: Are way-too-high ceilings the reason Bed, Bath, and Beyond is going under?
The great eight of ditch the drive-throughs features chicken stroganoff, salmon teriyaki bowl, lunch meat crescent roll-ups, buffalo chicken sweet potatoes, hamburger sliders, chicken salad, the Mississippi roast, and BBQ pulled pork nachos. No matter which iconic meal wears the great eight crown — listen in and you’ll be set for meals for a week or more.

In industry news Hyundai finally accelerates a new tech update rollout to solve the viral stolen car issue, the company also says they want 30% of their future profits to come from car subscriptions, and Kelly delivers an updated list of EVs that qualify for the $7500 tax credit.

HOT TAKES ON ADULT HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
10/26/23 • 66 min
What have Kelly and Lizz been buying, watching, and looking forward to this fall? This jam-packed episode will give you something to laugh about, something to think about, and something to talk to your mom besties about later.
→ Hey Hyundai Tucson mamas! It’s your turn to head on over to the Carpool reviews section and let Kelly and Lizz know what you love about your car and the show.
The Carpool audience is coming through with more sayings that don’t exist including, “You’re really frying bacon without a shirt here,” “Can’t learn to drive in a parked car,” and “Don’t look for clarity when it’s raining.” The gals also clear up the ‘couldn’t care less’ controversy.
Driveway dumps are all about Halloween and kiddo first. Kelly rants about main character moms on Halloween and shares a St. Louis exclusive Halloween tradition while Lizz shares a new one — the switch witch — that might be just the solution you need to too much Halloween candy. Hattie got her first haircut and Kelly felt a little mom-gaslit when she said no thanks to the trimmings.
What content Lizz and Kelly are consuming right now? The gals are ready to spill. Lizz just finished the book Hotel Nantucket and is watching Justified. Kelly is listening to The Four Hour Work Week, watching Suits with Tyler, and enjoyed the Heather McMahan comedy special solo.
Lizz picked up some new baby warmer-wear for James in her last three transactions as well as a Walgreens family photo order and a haircut with a curly hair specialist...that probably wasn’t worth it. Kelly’s also on the kiddo kick with new fleece jammies for Hattie and a 12-pack of colored masking tape. She also picked up a new party-tricks tripod for herself.
Maddie recently decided to get YouTube TV to watch football this season. Sure, great, but Lizz is looking to cut back on subscriptions they aren’t using to pay for the new one. So, she turned to Rocket Money, a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills all in one place.

Kelly’s getting ready to make her new year’s resolutions on the driveway dump, which includes 12 books to get her out of her reading rut. What’s going on with name consultants on Instagram? Kelly and Lizz would never. Kelly is getting up before her kids for her glamor chores and is taking ten minutes every night to power clean the kitchen.

Ditch the drive-through comes from listener Jamie, a delicious chicken and broccoli ring. All you need is a nine ounce can of chunk chicken, two stalks of broccoli, one small onion, one can of cream of chicken soup, a clove of garlic, two cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls, eight ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, and an optional bell pepper.
