Kelly and Lizz are ready to wrap up summer poolside with several family vacations in the works, a 60th birthday for dad and a kid-free 30th for Kelly. 

A listener writes in with today’s millennial word of the day ‘me-coded.’

Don’t underestimate how far a little meal prep can go. Kelly shares her driveway dump that kicks off with how marinating chicken and chopping veggies while you’re already getting the kitchen dirty is absolutely genius. She’s all about making throwing dinner together a little easier and wonders what the next food-of-the-moment making a splash on the dinner scene will be. Tuna? Hard boiled eggs? The jury’s out.

Meanwhile, Lizz is filling her Instagram stories with silly goose reels. If you’re not following her on IG and laughing along, what are you waiting for?

Up today from listeners writing in are men crossing their legs with their thighs touching, couples having conversations and love fests on Facebook—unanimously cringe—too-intimate maternity pics, and men eating bagged lunches.

In industry news the new Hyundai Santa Fé is giving Lexus GX, Land Rover, and EV vibes. Kelly isn’t ready to call it too futuristic, but the gals are a bit shocked. Lizz gives her take on the new Traverse and Kelly updates us on the new Atlas upgrades including a turbocharged 4 cylinder and ventilated seats. The gals love the luxe updates, but are not thrilled they’ve removed all buttons from the dash and steering wheel controls.
