Candy controversy kicks off The Carpool Podcast with Reese Eggs vs Cadbury Cream Eggs, candies that are begging to be retired, and the Peeps red dye 3 controversy. The suitcase zipped, but barely, on this *packed* episode. 

Mother is today’s millennial word of the day. Used as an adjective by Gen Z, Kelly will just have to live with it and love it. 

Which ugly auto will win today’s hate eight of ugliest cars? Up for the title are the Ford Flex, Nissan Murano convertible, Nissan Cube, classic Toyota Prius, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Honda Odyssey, Kia Soul, and Tesla cyber truck. The Ford Flex is giving fridge, at least the Honda Odyssey is functional, and the Nissan Cube holds a special place in Lizz’s heart. 

Stanley ice flows are (or were!) back in stock, so they’re on both Kelly and Lizz’s last three transactions today. Use the code CARMOM20 to grab yours if they’re still available. The PT Cruiser of shoes threatened to set Kelly back $80 for spring daycare shoes, but she found knock off Crocs at TJ Maxx instead. Lizz grabbed some jammies for the babe and both gals had a grocery run — Kelly’s for her pot-luck famous Costco mac-n-cheese. 

On today’s advice segment, Dana asks for go-to dinner ideas for guests. Kelly recommends BBQ pulled pork nachos with Sweet Baby Rays, a hot dog bar, or grilled naan bread pizzas. Lizz suggests crockpot chicken tacos. Listener Elizabeth asks how Kelly knew she wanted a third kiddo. 

A listener’s Honda Odyssey question spills over into industry news. Making headlines this week, Tesla workers shared very personal customer videos taken by Century mode without consent. Kia EV 9 is one of the hottest EVs of the year and one of the first mainstream three row electric SUVs. And Kelly and Lizz talk auto shows and their yearning to travel again.
