Get ready for some hard hitting journalism on today’s episode as Kelly and Lizz interview Jessica Jermakian from IIHS — absolutely iconic. 

→ Hey mama, are you listening in from your Mercedes GLS? Then it’s your time to show up, show out, and shine in the Carpool podcast reviews!

Erm is taking the place of ugh, but Kelly is skeptical. Is Lizz just grunting into the mic or is this a real millennial word of the day? 

Jessica Jermakian has spent 13 years at IIHS and she’s ready to answer the tough questions like: Why doesn't the Ford Expedition get crash tested? What’s the deal with ‘female’ crash test dummies? And HOW much does a crash dummy cost? (Lizz is shook!) 

Kelly picks Jessica’s brain to give parents a bit of safety reassurance, Jessica has hope for improvements like pretensioners and load limiters in rear seat belts, and large SUV testing is on its way. You’ll also find out what Jessica is driving and how she’d start a new car search. You can check out the IIHS website and YouTube channel for a library of crash tests and vehicle safety ratings.
