Being a mom is a kick you while you're down kind of industry and if it throws you into your ugly era, getting out just isn't free. On this episode of the Carpool podcast Kelly and Lizz share their recent relatable mom experiences and a review of the third annual Car Mom Auto Show. 

The gals extend a huge thank you to everyone who made the drive and flew during the Microsoft outages. The third Auto Show was truly the best and Kelly and Lizz loved meeting their fans—from moms to young listeners. The VIP night vibes were on point, the extended hours were awesome, and Capital One's giant car seat was a hit. 

Kelly deems the Belle of the Ball and most talked about car the BMW X7 or Kia Carnival. For the next show, Kelly will be hiring staff — a need she underestimated this time— and more carefully curating the kid's movie characters that attend.

Kelly escaped her ugly era with a new lipstick duo from Ulta while Lizz feels like she needed a full montage movie makeover to get out of her funk for a few days.

A Mom of one driving a (paid for) 2018 Toyota Four Runner is feeling the pressure to drive a bigger car when her second kiddo arrives. Kelly re-shares her Mom-Car hot take: the car you have is the best mom car when you're just starting a family. Any car fits two kids and unless you have other unique needs you probably don't need to go car shopping yet. 

In industry news, the new Honda Odyssey is incredibly underwhelming and Kelly is ready to see a hybrid option. Both gals are on the edge of their seats for the '25 Expedition.

Kelly's sassy pasta is today's ditch the drive-through. Grab a little olive oil, Boursin cheese, and cream if you have it and treat the cheese like the 'butter' on your noodles. Kelly added sweet potatoes, peas, and rotisseries chicken to her dish and served plain (actually) buttered noodles with peas and meatballs on the side to her kiddos.
