Syllables are hard, but Lizz is here to hype Kelly up, keep her out of negative self-talk, and make sure she gets a snack after the show. Need a little mom-love yourself? Listen in!

‘Ate and left no crumbs’ is today’s millennial word of the day. Lizz is digging this alternative to ‘killed it’ and Kelly agrees that this is a cute way to say someone ‘took all the talent and didn’t leave any for the rest of us.’

The invention box has become a motherhood low lift luxury at Kelly’s house. Full of boxes, containers, and tape — it provides a world of possibility to her kiddos on a rainy day.

Lizz is on her green girl journey and Kelly shares she is practicing using things to completion on today’s driveway dumps. A Thrift-mas update and a little rant on baby-specific laundry detergent scams make their way into the dumpity-do-dah’s as well.

Listener Elena submitted her great eight to the Carpool pod. Things we took for granted as kids is the theme and Elena’s childhood picks are: summer break, playing outside, having someone make every meal for you, living with your parents and siblings, getting to see your friends every day at school, the magic of Christmas, not having to pay bills, and ignorance of what goes on in the world. With a little help from Sydney, Kelly and Lizz choose a winner.

Paige has a Crockpot boneless pork chop recipe that’s making today’s ditch the drive-through extra cozy. All you need is one ranch packet, one au jus gravy packet, one pack of boneless pork chops, garlic powder to season with your heart, one can of cream of mushroom, and one can of cream of chicken. Cook on low for six hours and enjoy with your favorite sides.

Kelly dishes her advice on high car payments, getting out of an upside down deal, and how she’d choose a three-across friendly car. She recommends the Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, and Subaru Forester as well as the Consumer Reports app and Carfax for verifying the reliability of a vehicle.

In industry news, AM signal interference might change EV radios while saving manufacturer’s billions. Kelly also has news on the ten cars that hold their value and depreciate the least.
