THE DARK SIDE OF MOMMY COMMENTS

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.
