Warning: Whiplash may occur from this special episode with Kelly, Tyler, and of course bebe Fred so, buckle up!

The millennial word of the day comes from Kelly’s sibling Sydney. “Chronically online,” is meant to describe mostly trolls who are always on social media. Kelly and Tyler agree that all trolls may be millennials and that Gen Z will meanwhile be solving world hunger. 

Tyler shares his long-awaited driveway dump and discusses The Crown, the Harry and Megan documentary, and his take on Prince Charles’ “adversity.” Then, tells a ten-second dad-version of Fred’s birth story that includes multiple food breaks.

Bathroom permissions, sleeping in, clean rooms that stay clean, square feet, errands, flying by the seat of their pants, Friday nights, and TV freedom make Kelly and Tyler’s list for the great eight of things they took for granted before becoming parents. Which privilege will prevail?

Tyler answers dad-of-a-newborn questions from the Carpool that include how the duo divides household chores, the best and hardest part of having three kids, and Tyler’s favorite thing about each kid (and Kelly)!

Making it to the top of industry news today, entry level Teslas now cost less than the average new car. Are they ruining their luxury brand? Car and Driver reports that Florida dogs may have to keep their cute little heads in their cars, and Tyler’s got no dog in this fight. IIHS is doing the most and giving awards for 28 models top safety pick plus this year — a number that’s up from the top safety awarded models of 2022. Last, but certainly not least, which auto brand boasts 55% female owners?

Tyler just learned how to make mac and cheese this week, so our ditch the drive-through comes from a listener instead. Hilary shares her salsa verde pork in the crock pot recipe that’s great over rice, with veggies, or rolled up in a tortilla.
