Lizz is owning her seat as the Carpool co-host, and Kelly’s the pot calling the kettle black as she tries to get into listening to a new podcast where the hosts just talk about themselves. 

Today’s millennial word, zesty, comes from a 15-year-old who filled Lizz in over the weekend. In short, this is the perfect filler word when you have no idea what to say. 

Kelly is bringing part one of a two-part driveway dump today that starts with a birthday shoutout to Blake from Blake’s besties on January 19th. Happy Birthday, Blake! Kelly claims that Tarzan, the OG of soundtracks, walked so Frozen could run, she’s back in her ugly and only three-pair-of-pants-fit era, and shares the life-changing magic of her new 911 hamper. Lizz chimes in with a report about her glue-on-nails experience, and the calls are making a call for press-on nail recommendations from listener experts.

Kelly and Lizz debate the great eight of Disney and Nickelodeon sitcoms: Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, Zoey 101, The Amanda Show, Drake and Josh, The Suite Life of Zac and Cody, Hannah Montana, That’s So Raven, and The Wizards of Waverly Place. Kelly is available in her DMs to defend today’s winner. 

Today’s industry news is sponsored by Edmunds.com. Edmonds thinks Kelly and Lizz are just working too hard. That’s why they brought them a round up of the best current industry news to share on this episode so that you, too, can sound like a total baddie who knows what’s up in the current car market. 

Leases are the highest since November of 2007, so buying is hot. Interest rates are still high, and trade-in prices are starting to fall. Find out what your trade-in is worth on Edmunds with their easy to use trade-in value and appraisal tool. Inventory’s low but on its way up as overall car prices are coming down. If you’re shopping, keep an eye out for CPOs (certified pre-owned cars) — Lizz and Kelly explain why. 

Lizz shares her chicken pesto pasta so you can ditch the drive-through this week on pasta Monday. Kelly reads Amy’s Philly cheesesteak sandwich recipe that she’ll definitely be trying with some leftover hot dog buns.
