Absence makes the driveway dump list longer, so Kelly is ready for the Carpool today. She kicks off the episode with another reminder to utilize your iPhone features and wraps with a baby name clue—hint, she won't be taking the Harry Potter theme route.

Today's millennial word of the day is 'it was a movie' meaning it was so good it could have hit the big screen. Kelly and Lizz try to break down a 'brat girl summer' again and Lizz has taken her stance—if the explanation is 'the essence' she's out.

In driveway dumps Kelly wonders if she needs a shower cap, is plotting a 'try not to waddle' pregnancy challenge, and has a hot take on Ballerina Farms and the life cycle of an influencer. In short, you can get an angle out of anybody. Both gals are loving the Olympics and following Ilona, a female rugby player who's giving the best behind the scenes peeks on social media. Lizz is watching men's rugby and Kelly is loving gymnastics and swimming. Both agree—water polo is some kind of superhuman feat.

On last three transactions, Lizz has a Frame TV update and made a big Little Sleepies order as well as an order for an electric fence. Kelly is nesting. She ordered Silverettes for breastfeeding relief, 200 pre-cut parchment paper (thanks Naptime Kitchen for the hack!) and snagged a couple of quality Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows for her master bedroom. 

In industry news, Deadpool features Honda Odyssey and the Kia Carnival while Toyota is replacing every single engine in a hundred thousand Tundra pickups and Lexus LXs—yikes.

Barbeque glazed sausage is hitting the dinner table in five minutes flat thanks to Lizz's pin-spiration. Ditch the drive-through with your favorite links and a little dash of BBQ.
