Happy Valentine's Day from Kelly and Lizz! In this random, yet fabulous, episode baby Fred-uccine Al-fred-o makes a cooing appearance, Mattie has headed out for two months with the marine reserves, and Kelly needs to know why her dog is now the size of a cow. The millennial word of the day is ‘vibe check.’ Instead of asking your friends, “Hey, how are you holding up?” You can now just use a quick, “Hey, vibe check?” to see how they’re doing.  Kelly’s driveway dump kicks off with a plug for her favorite Knix period underwear and an update on her haircare journey haul from Sephora. The Car Mom has hit 95K subscribers on YouTube and the gals can’t wait to hit 100K and earn their plaque. Make sure you subscribe to The Car Mom on YouTube! Kelly and Lizz also reflect on red dye, Fun Dip, and their favorite Valentines indulgences.  Lizz adds her thoughts to the driveway dump today with a bit about her thought-provoking-reels addiction, eating out vs. eating in, and the $16 Panera crime. Famous TV couples are featured on today’s Valentine’s edition of the great eight. In the lineup are: Ross and Rachel from Friends, Jim and Pam from The Office, Marshall and Lily from How I Met Your Mother, Jess and Nick from New Girl, Cece and Schmidt from New Girl, Ben and Leslie from Parks and Rec, and Blair and Chuck from Gossip Girl. In industry news, State Farm and Progressive are declining new insurance policies on some Hyundais and Kias after nationwide thefts.

Producer Fredward joins Kelly and Lizz for another maternity-leave episode of the Carpool podcast. The gals are playing with nicknames for the babe and Lizz has exciting gender reveal news to share! Situationship is today’s millennial word of the day. Which is what the Gen Zers are calling their connections when they're sort of talking, sort of dating, sort of a thing, but also…sort of not. Kelly’s boomer idiom for Lizz is “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Kelly’s driveway dump is packed with goodies from her week alone at home with Fred. First up, Mulan, a movie truly ahead of its time. Next, Liquid IV is cornering the mocktail market on Instagram with their impressive add-ins like egg whites and sugared grapefruit. Give them a follow! Kelly and Lizz both love on the idea of moms having other moms’ backs in the parking lot whether they’re loading up or just can’t return a cart when they’ve got kids in tow. Kelly brings a little celeb news with the unremarkable Marie Kondo report, a surprisingly cluttered Julia Fox apartment tour, and Kylie Jenner’s baby name. To wrap up the segment, a rant about how bubble makeup headbands are making Kelly irrationally upset and Kelly starts her hair care journey with advice from Kathleen Post and Mary Orton. In industry news a new SUV has been released, the Mazda CX 90 with a plug-in hybrid option and third row seats that supposedly accommodate up to 8 people. Kelly says the former CX 9 was good value for a lot of tech, but not the best space for the money. Will the CX 90 surprise and delight or be about the same? On today’s ditch the drive-through Kelly shares her favorite foods that friends and family have brought her so that she could live off of something other than her pregnancy and postpartum favorite, Culvers. Topping the list are mom’s egg casserole, a big plate of cookies, asian inspired chicken and blanched veggies, homemade pizza, and a Trader Joe’s freezer haul.  Lizz plugs an Oreo-gate update that gluten-free double stuffed Oreos are the real winners. Maternity leave streaming recommendations round out this episode with Kelly and Lizz’s current favorite shows that everyone should binge including: Only Murderers in The Building, Abbott Elementary, That 90s Show, The Parent Test, and Ginny and Georgia. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on literally anything?

Baby Stumpy’s still in the belly, so Kelly and Lizz are bringing you an episode that is nothing if not chaotic.  In today’s millennial word segment we learn Gen Z slangs so we can be less lame. Today’s word is ‘jump scare.’ Kelly also adds an idiom of the day because Lizz knows absolutely none of them. Today’s idiom is ‘still water runs deep’ which launches the duo into a trip down memory lane reminiscing about Kelly’s car salesman days. Kelly’s binging Architectural digest celebrity house tours on YouTube, comparing celebrities vs. influencers, and rants about how we need to stop saying ‘wait until’ and ‘at least’ to mothers for her driveway dump.  The hate eight of household chores decides which is the worst of the worst. Going head to head for the most hated crown are: changing bedsheets and duvet cover; doing laundry; paying bills; washing dishes; cleaning the toilet, shower and bathtub; taking out the trash and breaking down boxes; pet care and cleaning up dog hair; and cleaning floors. Automotive Gossiper, aka car buying expert, Zack Sheska from Car Edge, joins Kelly and Lizz for a zesty industry news today. Is Tesla quaking in their boots? Zack gives the gals the scoop on tax incentives and why the company might be dropping their prices. Cash is king according to Zack in the car buying arena right now and he predicts we’ll see incentives make a comeback. Zack also gives his take on Carvana and sight unseen car purchases. Matza ball soup is for dinner tonight at Zacks and he shares his super simple recipe so you can ditch the drive-through, too.  → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on literally anything?
