Kelly and Lizz are on a secret mission in Montana today! Details to come in February, but for now…an episode of the Carpool to get you through this slumpy time of year.

Clean girl aesthetic was in, now the mob wife aesthetic is taking over. Kelly and Lizz have mixed feelings about the trend and are sharing it all on today's driveway dumps. They also wonder…are the Kardashians in their flop era? On the topic of self-centered consumption, Kelly gives a nod to @BallerinaFarm who is competing in Mrs USA 12 days postpartum, even though she probably wouldn’t do the same herself.

The great eight of chips is here! Going head to head in this crunchy battle are Cool Ranch Doritos, Cheetos, Twisted BBQ Fritos, and BBQ Chips, Salt and Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion, Jalapeno Kettle, and Cheddar and Sour Cream Potato Chips.

A mom who’s currently driving a Ford Escape is ready to shop for a mid-size SUV to tote around her 3 and 5 year old. Kelly recommends checking out the Kia Sorento, loaded with amenities, to suit the family while the kiddos grow. Another listener, a self proclaimed toy hot mess express, asks for advice on non-toy options for Christmas and birthday gifts.

Kelly names the top selling used SUVs of 2023 in industry news. A redesigned Honda Passport is on its way. And EV rental car news is giving juice, juice, juice, juice, juice as Hertz sells off a third of its EV fleet. Someone send Elon a new PR head, quick.

Today’s ditch the drive-through is Razi’s Cilantro Lime Chicken and Rice. Take two chicken breasts, cover in olive oil, squeeze half of a lime over the chicken and then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder and chili powder. Do yourself a favor and buy some disposable gloves so you can pop those on and mix the chicken up before cooking it in a pan on the stove. 

To make the cilantro lime sauce place one third cup cilantro, one jalapeno without seeds, two garlic cloves, juice of half a lime, one third cup of plain Greek yogurt, one teaspoon of honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend.
