It’s your turn to head on over to the Carpool reviews, leave Kelly and Lizz a rating, and shout out your ride. Driveway dumps feature Lizz’s controversial closet clean out. She and Kelly did a huge postpartum closet purge because too many options — especially ones that don’t fit — aren’t always a good thing. Kelly is struggling with becoming a ‘snack house’ and longs to get her ‘ingredient house’ days back. You know, the ones that remind her of a childhood filled with salami snowflakes and American cheese slices after school.  Lizz is getting the ick from a few bizarre bridal trends and Kelly has done the hard work of attending a vague money influencer’s four-hour masterclass to spill their secrets in seconds to you. The gals share their feelings about automotive influencers and get ready to kick off Crock-tober with Kate from @naptimekitchen.  → Sign up for the Car Mom emails to get your Crock Pot recipe every Friday and check out the first Crock Pot recipe of the month — Honey Butter Chicken.  Today's episode is also brought to you by Athletic Greens.

And if you’re in ‘The age of Fred’ alongside Kelly, Lizz wants you to know “You’re doing a hard job beautifully.” → Calling all Hyundai Tucson drivers! It’s your week to head on over to the Carpool reviews and leave Kelly and Lizz a rating and message about why you love the show! Today’s millennial word is glazing. When you’re glazing someone, you’re over hyping and ‘sucking-up.’  Mom math kicks off Lizz’s driveway dump. Kelly’s house looks like she and her kids are in a ‘tornado in, tornado out’ situation. And the duo talks about letting kids help with home decor. They love the advice to bring a cute decor item to the trash can section and see if it still shines, but they’ll be heading to the toy aisle to see their find next to a slew of hot wheels as their final test before buying. Batiste dry shampoo, a shoe haul for Hattie, and a cast iron bread pan are Kelly’s last three transactions. She also talks capsule wardrobes — her favorite one being from Emily O and Bows. Lizz splurged on the oh so comfortable and darling Rothy’s Mary Jane’s, an Abercrombie haul, and Halloween jammies for James with the same bread pan as Kelly.  Today’s episode is brought to you by Zocdoc.

An iconic Detroit trip, auto industry drama, and Sloppy Joe rebrand — what’s not to love on this jam packed episode? Lizz discovered today’s millennial word of the day on a Gen Z reel recently. ‘Pog champ’ is a way to show excitement and hype in the gaming world that is creeping its way into mainstream lingo. The gals have massive dumps to share today, starting with the Roman empire trend that Kelly is certain Lizz started. Try it yourself: ask your husband how often he thinks about the Roman empire and if he thinks he could land a Boeing 737 plane. Kelly and Lizz wonder what the female version of the trend is and Kelly reveals how often she thinks — and how little she actually knows — about Hellen Keller. Why are children’s books depressing for no reason? Lizz may not have the answer, but she certainly has questions. Kelly recaps her iconic Detroit trip and says if she was a Telluride she’d be shaking in her boots about the new GMC Acadia redesign.  Skip a trip to the grocery store *and* ditch the drive-through.

Send Kelly and Lizz an email to get your question featured on the show at [email protected]  Industry news is bringing the drama with a UAW strike for higher wages and benefits from the big three: Stellantis (Chrysler, Doge, Jeep, Ram), Ford, and General Motors. Workers are looking for a 40% pay increase to match the company’s CEOs and a return to their full benefits package.  In Musk moments, Kelly and Lizz share the power of the quote and practice, “Sometimes thank you goes further than I love you,” and why they, “Don’t fight tired.” The humble and delicious Sloppy Joe needs a rebrand. Kelly is here to make it happen on today’s ditch the drive-through and Lizz is coming in hot with a new name to shake things up — Iowa slingers.  →Are you a Carpool listener from Iowa?
