Lizz needs to spice up her life while trolls are trying to dull Kelly’s sparkle. Tune in to hear all of your Carpool favorites today including a juicy listener question on the advice segment.

NPC is today’s millennial word of the day. This sassy abbreviation means ‘non-player character’ as in the opposite of main character energy, someone who adds nothing to the story. 

Kelly’s driveway dump kicks off with a powerful parenting strategy: The Kid of the Day! Kelly and Lizz reminisce about how this changed their childhood for the better and how they’ll implement it in their own families. Kelly is ready to bring back the tomato tomat-oh sentiment after receiving hate comments for her word pronunciations. Two inch hail did some serious damage to Kelly’s neighborhood. And she will be returning the heinous low rise jeans she ordered from Express — to replace them with a pair of Good American ‘Always Fits.’ 

Would you say anything? A listener writes in asking about her brother in law who is always critiquing his girlfriend’s food choices and image — often loudly in front of family. He’s been with this girl for four years and she’s still waiting for a ring. Should she say anything to the girlfriend about her unhealthy relationship dynamics? Another question in the advice que today deals with the ‘after’ of the resqme® safety tool. Where can you get a seat belt replaced after using the tool? Kelly and Lizz have answers.
