The Car Mom LLC / tentwentytwo Projects
Kelly Stumpe and Lizz Suntrup are third generation auto-industry experts and best known for reviewing cars from the millennial mom point of view on Instagram and YouTube.

Join Kelly and Lizz each week for a dose of entertaining and lighthearted conversation, games, and auto-industry news while they navigate life as business partners, best friends, and sisters. Your Mom Time Off starts ... now.

Today’s millennial word of the day is ‘beekeeping age’ — the Gen Z way of saying ‘silver fox’ or ‘zaddy.’
A light driveway dump brings you things that seemed SO embarrassing in grade school that just aren’t anymore. If you ever had to blow your nose in public — ew! — wear white socks to school — gasp! — or were totally out of the TV show loop, you can probably relate.

Musk moments goes marriage this week as Kelly and Lizz discuss how to be on your phone less, start conversations with your partner, and micro date to mix things up.
Maddie recently decided to get YouTube TV to watch football this season. Sure, great, but Lizz is looking to cut back on subscriptions they aren’t using to pay for the new one.

Kelly’s 30th birthday pool party made the Margaritas go down a little too smooth and caused the gals a bit of hangxiety.

In her driveway dump, Kelly also shares her take on slicked back hairstyles, toxic messy bun tutorials and the overuse of ‘AI.’

In industry news Mazda’s new SUV, the 2024 CX 90, has a little more oomph and is available as a plug-in hybrid. Lizz says she’d give this ride a chance since it has 490 miles between a full charge and a full tank of gas (which she hates filling up). The Mitsubishi Mirage is the last new car with an average purchase price below $20K. And In July, Americans paid, on average, $48K for a new vehicle.
Sardines are it and listener Genevieve is here to confirm. She’s sending Lizz and Kelly over to Trader Joes to get the best of the best — packed in olive oil, skinless, and boneless.

Once the Fourth of July passes, is it time for Halloween? Lizz says no way. It’s too hot to be looking at pumpkins. And Kelly chimes in about inauthentic holidays on today’s driveway dumps.

In industry news EVs are feeling the heat wave, losing capacity, and raising questions about the longevity of their batteries.

Barbie might be making headlines but today’s episode is hosted by Brats girlie Kelly and the show’s first non-husband guest co-host, Polly Pocket girlie Ashley. This duo has been transacting, wardrobe purging, making the most of mom life — and they’re ready to share all.

Ashley brings today’s millennial word of the day from her social scrolling: feminine era. This is when you’re in an LTR and have someone to help you do the heavy lifting.
Ashley has been putting together the most darling mom-fits over on @realactuallyashley and Kelly is a stan. Biker shorts and a dress? Say less. The gals rave about buying the proper size clothes to create more comfort and grabbing a girlfriend to clean your closets out together.
Gym, shower, makeup, ‘get ready with me’ on IG stories, hair, and outfit kick off most of Ashley’s days, but even as a makeup artist, she isn’t judging anyone who doesn’t put a full face of makeup on every morning. She’s simply here to champion every woman doing what she needs to have a better day and wholeheartedly believes you should let your clothes make your body look better instead of making your body look better to fit into your clothes.
In today’s last three transactions segment, Ashley reveals she took the leap and bought her kids tablets she may have to save until Christmas, grabbed makeup erasers and Bento Boxes on prime day, and made a grocery order for her ‘cut.’ Kelly hit Athleta’s semi-annual sale, ordered an ugly t-shirt for her family’s vacation secret santa, and made a Costco haul complete with dinners for Lizz.

To wrap up the episode, Tricia shares her favorite ditch the drive-through — a meal that satisfies even her pickiest eater — panini pressed meat.

The Carpool podcast equals mini brands — you never know what you’re going to get. Today the most educated of the Suntrup clan, Sydney, joins Kelly and Lizz for a jam packed episode now that she has her life back from rowing.
Straight from the Gen Z source, today’s millennial phrase of the day is, “Double it and give it to the next person,” inspired by a viral TikTok trend. Sydney also shares her last three emojis — heart hands, a farmer, and (thanks to The Bear show) a chef.
Guilty pleasures dominate today’s driveway dump. Kelly’s reading True Biz and bingeing @hintofnattyp, Lizz is loving happy dances from @kellye.essentials, and Sydney is loving awkward OTDs on Tik Tok.

“The Ick” submissions are in from the Carpool listeners and the Suntrup Sisters are voting yay or nay on men sitting in the barber chair, when men get iced coffees, boys screaming on a rollercoaster, and more.
Kelly is sharing a behind the scenes of the biz to kick off industry news today — The Car Mom domain now belongs to its rightful owner. The Mazda CX9 is officially being discontinued and will be replaced by the CX90. Sydney shares her dream car to wrap up the segment.

Kelly and Lizz are back on the mic with babes in tow and on the teet. Get ready for Lizz’s birth story, a newborn report, and an update on how the mom ‘Carpool’ is going for the St. Johns.
CALLING ALL JAMES MAMAS: Kelly and Lizz are mixing it up! If you have a baby named James show up in the Carpool Podcast reviews and give your babe a shout out.
Lizz’s labor started out subtle, but had her panicking in a hurry—about her messy house of course. At a routine weekly appointment she found out she was already dilating, but wasn’t having a stitch of contractions. The nurses were frankly no help in figuring out what was a big deal and how quickly to expect things to progress. Kelly votes for better delivery and a bit more sensitivity from the medical pros.
Mattie was at work, so Mama Stoupe stepped in to keep Lizz company and later hosted the expecting couple for the night closer to the hospital.
Lizz started having contractions throughout the next day while Mattie was at work and as they intensified they decided to head to the hospital.
Spoiler alert: back labor ahead!
Lizz opted for the epidural and pitocin and was cheered on by a birth team who said she’d have a quick 45 minutes of pushing before she met her baby. Not so! She finally made progress through back labor, epidural adjustments, and a variety of birthing positions, giving birth to baby James after 4 hours of pushing!
Baby James was born 7lb 130z, 22 inches long, and is absolutely perfect.

Lizz shares her favorite newborn and mama products, first by championing simplicity: your baby doesn't need anything except jammies, swaddlers, pacifiers, diapers, wipes, bottles, and a bassinet. Her top two newborn baby products are the Copper Pearl Baby Gowns and Newton Bassinet.
The first thing moms need postpartum is a ton of breastfeeding bras. Kelly and Lizz are both obsessed with The Bodily Everything Bra. And to keep the milk flowing, Lizz is grabbing her Stanley 64oz.

Apple’s WWDC ‘23 brings a lackluster Apple Carplay Update that is barely worth mentioning on today’s industry news. And Kelly would like to know why electric car names are so bad? Honda is unhinged and their competitors aren’t far behind.

For the first time, Kelly absolutely nails the millennial word of the day, “sending me.”
Kelly can’t believe she’s sharing the most embarrassing NASCAR story ever on today’s driveway dumps.

Reel talk with Lizz gives a shout out to the hilarious Entitled Housewife.
Shout out to listener Sarah for the most iconic great eight theme, millennial school dance songs. The songs on Kelly and Lizz’s unhinged playlist for the great eight are: Get Low, Soldier Boy, Hot in Here, Hollaback Girl, Laffy Taffy, My Humps, Don’t Stop Believing, and Temperature.

Kelly and Lizz dive into Suzie’s journey from Daniel Tiger marathons to simple, low-cost activities her toddler could do on his own while she sipped her coffee. Suzie shares her hindsight parenting wisdom and a ‘take a breath and say yes moment’ that has the gals asking, “Will Busy Toddler’s next frontier be sleeping boxes for kids?” The gals reminisce about the good old days of chronological social media feeds and their Tik Tok aversions.

Kelly recommends tuning into the top ten cringiest Camp Rock moments. The gals discuss the difference between achievement entrepreneurs and lifestyle entrepreneurs, how it might be easier to make money than it is to save it, and Lizz recaps her baby class with Mattie.
Memorial day sales were giving Black Friday, and Kelly and Lizz’s last three transactions are here to prove it.

Halloween feels like it was yesterday, but Lizz is already decking the halls, Kelly is prepping a 3-foot tree for George and Hattie's room, and Tyler the Grinch is no help. Today, the gals take a moment to get ready for Thanksgiving, though. Today's great eight brings you all the Thanksgiving vibes: a cocktail, cheese board, and kitchen gossip; meal prep and the parade; a post-Turkey-Trot donut; pumpkin pie and decaf; Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping; Friday leftovers, letting your Christmas flag fly guilt-free; and an after-meal nap with football in the background. Today's millennial word of the day brings you 'rizz' 2.0 from a Gen Z family friend who has Kelly and Lizz's back. Listen in to see if you know someone who has 'w-rizz' or 'l-rizz.' Habit stacking your morning and nighttime routine is the star of Kelly's driveway dump. No excuses. Get to it. Kelly shares her thoughts on the TSA sock-check — aka you should always be prepared to take your shoes off — and where she's found her new favorite boot socks. The satisfaction of using up and pulling 'empties' and clearing Christmas clutter round out the segment. You don't want to be talking politics with your uncles and aunts this Thanksgiving, so why not talk auto and shake hands after?

Kelly and Lizz, sans guests, have a LOT to catch you up on today. Kell is feeling super pregnant, is looking forward to the holidays, and will be doing a lot of hand washing and saying her prayers to keep her and the baby healthy into the new year. Did today's millennial word start with drag queens? In any case, 'wig,' as in, 'I was so shocked my wig fell off,' is just another bit of Gen Z slang that the gals will not be using. Kelly's driveway dump features Alexa timer parenting, teaching your kids to be polite to robots, and how she plans to make her hospital stay a super cozy spa time with her new baby. The gals discuss when the Christmas tree will go up, and Kelly gets jazzed about the yard blow-up she's sneaking into her outdoor decor. Her excitement spills over to kitten heels making a comeback. To wrap up the segment, Kelly shares a little rant about giving credit for vague advice. Minivan mom Megan writes in on today's advice segment looking for a spacious recommendation for her family. Kelly explores this mama's many options, including another minivan for the teens and a sleeker Expedition or Tahoe for herself.

The queen herself and the Carpool’s most iconic guest, Car Grandma Kris, returns for a family-packed episode with Kelly and Lizz. ‘Guap’ — not guac — is today’s millennial word of the day. And while Kelly and Lizz don’t need to be ‘coutin’ their guap,’ at least they now know Gen Zers are talking about their cash-money, not an add-on to their Chipotle bowl. A love and wisdom-filled Q&A with today’s guest brings you all the secrets to life, love, and aging in reverse. Kris shares where you can find the fountain of youth on your local Trader Joe’s shelves and names one of her favorite products for achieving a little glow every day. Kelly and Lizz also ask their mom about her current ride, how she met their dad, and how she juggled raising five kids along with the rest of life. You won’t want to miss her sage parenting, marriage, and holiday planning advice. The Car Grandma also joins Kelly and Lizz for a special taste drive of Mom Water. Mom Water sponsors today’s test drive, sending over their iconic, fun, and refreshing drinks for the gals to sip (and spit, in Kelly’s case). Not only is Mom Water a fantastic non-carbonated seltzer alternative, their cans are also stunning, and their ingredients are super simple. Each flavor has a cute and classic mom name like Linda, Karen, Sandy, or Carol. In short, the gals are hooked. Grab your Mom Water merch with our 20% off code CARMOM20 and Follow Mom Water on Instagram at @drinkmomwater. A leaked video of the Honda Pilot — that has now been scrubbed from the internet — headlines today’s industry news while deer crashes are up 16% with the daylight savings time change and dealership pushback on Ford EV mandates. @brunchwithbabs brings us today’s ditch the drive-through: dump and bake pizza casserole.

Kelly and Lizz are making sassy sister Halloween plans and spilling the tea on the 2023 Kila Telluride event on today’s episode of The Carpool Podcast. Killing it is out, and ‘ate that’ is in on today’s millennial word of the day. And the gals definitely ‘ate’ the new Car Mom car buying course. This course has been in the works for ages and is finally ready for The Car Mom crew. Today’s episode sponsor is thecarmomofficial.com, where you can now grab your copy of the course and get to buying. Inside you’ll find absolutely everything you need to know about the car-buying process. Kelly and Lizz dub San Antonio, Texas c-u-u-u-t-e and have only positive things to say about their stay at the Hotel Emma. Goat cheese, fennel, and rosemary were everywhere, and Kelly was all about seconds. The 2023 Telluride has a handful of exterior updates, and the gals share their take on how Kia rolls out new models year after year. Kelly brings a click monster of an article to discuss titled, “Stylists reveal 14 items from your 2022 wardrobe that you should get rid of,” from Insider. From headbands to high-waisted pants, the article doubles down on styles Kelly and Lizz thought were just coming back. Moral of the story: Love your body, love what you’re wearing, and love the way you’re made. In today’s advice segment, Kelly directs a listener to Gap to find a cute holiday outfit for her little guy. Kelly’s driveway dump brings you slippers galore and a star-studded, hilarious, and wholesome movie recommendation: What to Expect When You’re Expecting. In industry news, a Toyota Grand Highlander has been spotted in Michigan, and it’s giving minivan. Jeep wants help naming their all-new electric Wagoneer SUV, codenamed Wagoneer S, for speed. Diane from Kentucky calls in with today’s ditch the drive-through and shares a quick and easy quiche that’s perfect for heating up during the week. Blake’s Besties honors Nicolette, who lost three babies this year: Primrose, Paul, Emma, and Paige, who lost her daughter Heiden Adelle in September at 17 weeks. Kelly and Lizz extend a huge thank you to all the amazing moms who wrote in and shared their stories. They’ve read them all, they’re with you, and will be praying for you!

Little cutie Corbin, who’s now a Carpool star, kicks off today’s episode, which is packed with the segments you know and love. “Big brain” is today’s millennial word of the day, as in, Tik Tok is small brain, and IG is big brain. 90’s throwbacks from the driveway diaries include bubbles you could eat and silk accessory scarves that are coming back hot. Kelly also clears up all the confusion surrounding the two-ingredient pumpkin muffin recipe. The great eight of children’s cereal — Kelly and Lizz’s favorite nightcap — is here. Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Pebbles, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, Reese’s Puffs, Captain Crunch, and Trix are going head to head. Cereal connoisseur and Stumpe sibling Craig joins the gals for a tiebreaker. Kelly raves about her favorite Edmunds.com tools that make car shopping so easy — a hat tip to the fantastic sponsor of today’s industry news. Kelly’s favorite tools are the comparison tool for a side-by-side comparison of four vehicles, the price checker tool for comparing car prices in your area, and the appraisal tool that shows you what your car is worth in minutes. The Acura ZDX collab with General motors is giving precision EV essence, and Mercedes is expanding its crossover lineup with the ugliest car Kelly’s ever seen in her life, the EQE. Industry news also brings a report of the Rivian R1T recall repair process that affected 12,000 vehicles. How long did the inspection and repair take? Listen in to find out. Ditch the drive-through sweet chili salmon from Kelly and Lizz’s new favorite Instagrammer: Trader Joe’s Five Items or Less. Run, don’t walk to @traderjoes5itemsorless There’s no fear or guilt, just gratitude on today’s Blake’s Besties segment.

Does a Carpool episode exist that is not absolutely jam-packed? Absolutely not. In today’s episode, Jessica from Edmunds spills some car industry tea in a special interview segment, Kelly defends her podcast one-liners, and Grayson brings us the millennial word of the day “boxed.” Kelly’s driveway diaries are full of curiosity. With a dash of sass, the gals explore: Where are the baby shark kids now? Has anyone checked with North Face about their fanny packs? And why is the value of an IG follower more than the value of a TikTok follower? Lizz shares about her smashing success with her latest new-construction home improvement project, understandably brags about her Facebook Marketplace finds, and shares a bit of a warning about clicking random listings that could lead down an algorithm rabbit hole. What’s happening in the car market that isn’t getting enough attention? Edmunds’ Executive Director of Insights, Jessica, is here to tell all. To top off the interview, Jessica brings us today’s ditch the drive-through: salmon in the air fryer. Be sure to check out Edmunds’ leasing calculator, loan payment calculator, and incentives search feature mentioned in today’s show.

Kelly feels 99-years-old testing out today’s millennial word — fade — followed by perusing a J14 magazine complete with quizzes, horoscopes, and first-date advice. Deux cookie dough from Shark Tank stars in today’s taste drive. Three gluten-free, vegan flavors go head to head: pink frosting, brownie batter, and smores. Which flavors will get the fade, and which one will win Carpool approval? Driveway dump is now driveway diaries where Kelly brings you her hopes, dreams, and fears. Today, she’s got a chicken salad update, Patreon celeb drama to report on, and Lizz is concerned about Kelly’s Bethany Frankel ‘can’t-look-away’ obsession. Carvana, the ‘pick me’ girl of the auto industry, gets their dealership license suspended in Michigan. Rivian just recalled nearly every vehicle they’ve made and promises to make repairs in pop-up tents. And the most popular used car paint color in the US is revealed in today’s industry news. Blake’s besties are here for Pregnancy Infant Loss Awareness Month, honoring Babies Miles Elijah and Red West, who send their mommy butterflies, Melvin Donald (aka Pork Chop) sends his rainbows to say hello, and Zoe May, whose mom shares her story of her angel nurse. → Share your sweet, fun, and funny memories with us, and we’ll read them on the show at hello@thecarmomofficial.com Today’s ditch the drive-through recipe is ‘pick-ones’ from Lizz, who says to keep mealtime simple and don’t make it such a big deal.

Contenders for today’s sweet, sour, and fruity taste drive are Sour Patch Kids Watermelon, Haribo Gummy Bears, Sour Punch Straws, Trolli Sour Bite Crawlers Very Berry, Starburst, Momba’s, Skittles, and Nerd Gummy Clusters. Another odd and interesting Elon Musk story is making headlines in industry news as Musk introduces Optimus, a robot who can raise the roof and not much more. Edmunds puts the fuel economy of the EV Ford Lightning, gas-powered Chevy Silverado, diesel RAM 1500, and a hybrid F-150 to the test and Honda launches their new 2024 Prologue, an EV crossover collab with GM.

Is it a vent sesh or another episode of the Carpool pod chock full of all your favorite segments? How about both? Lizz brings the new construction neighborhood news, and Kelly reports on her ‘big trash week’ treasures. Kelly has some things to get off her chest, and the episode wraps with a few heartfelt tears. Kelly and Lizz’s little sister Sydney came through with the millennial word of the day today: slay. As in, “That’s so slay,” and, “Stay slay forever!” The gals continue their search for a soda to drink that isn’t soda on the taste drive with the Cola, Cherry Cola, and Dr. Zevia flavors from Zevia. Kelly and Lizz don’t see eye to eye on the reviews but agree that they’d splurge on the Mountain Dew and Grape Soda-inspired flavors to try them, too. Kelly shares how she’s using Canva to make mood boards for her kids’ rooms and recommends a podcast listen: How I Built This featuring Melanie Perkins, the creator of Canva. Kelly recaps her lasagna marathon and is excited for her next meal-prep date with a bestie that’ll stock her freezer full of tasty chicken enchiladas. The gals love the new buzz about butter boards, and their chat triggers Kelly’s next pregnancy craving. Lizz adds some Trader Joe’s dinner inspiration to the mix and suggests that everyone follow the fabulous Anna Lisa over at @traderjoes5itemsorless. Industry news today is sponsored by Edmunds. Car shopping can be confusing, especially new car shopping with the current inventory shortages. Things are starting to cool off in the used car market, and Edmonds goes the extra mile to make car buying easier. They have a ton of used car buying resources like car reviews, video test drives, online shopping tools, and the latest consumer advice. Check them out at Edmunds.com The industry’s anti-slay of the day award goes to Elon Musk, who is claiming that the new Tesla truck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat. Car and Driver is asking some hard-hitting EV questions and the gals are curious, too: What are fire-fighter concerns about taming an EV fire? Kith partners with BMW on a new line featuring Edward Norton, and the gals dream up a handful of other darling ideas for triad collabs. TRIGGER WARNING: Today’s advice segment speaks about pregnancy loss as October is pregnancy infant loss awareness.

If you’d like to share your own story for October and Blake’s Besties, shoot us an email with your memories at hello@thecarmomofficial.com Ditch the drive-through today is an oldie but a goodie: Sweet Potato Buffalo Chicken.

The recap you’ve been waiting for is HERE! Kelly and Lizz are living their dream come true. It was amazing. Iconic. A movement. A historic event…IT WAS THE CAR MOM AUTO SHOW!!! The auto show setup was an absolute RUSH. The gals share how they got ready for the show and who their MVP team members turned out to be. One amazing Car Mom follower even got put to work (voluntarily!) and became a staple team member of the auto show overnight. Kelly and Lizz reveal which car at the show had the most QR code hits and which one surprised car show-goers. Attendees lined up at the door before the two o’clock start and came from as far as Seattle, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, and Colorado. The gals are obsessed with the crew who showed up and share what made this show extra special compared to every other audio show they’ve been to. Today’s Gen Z and Millennial updates include an ‘emo’ inspired phrase of the day and a new trend that Kelly and Lizz are pretty excited about: ballet flats. They both agree the chunky shoe moment was getting out of hand, and they’re ready for these darling shoes to have their time again. Three quake-worthy industry news stories bring you an exciting update from Hertz rental cars and BP. The companies are teaming up to create an EV charging network — but how will the logistics work?! 40,000 Ford F-150 trucks are stuck in storage and waiting to be ready for sale since they’re missing their blue oval badge, and Volkswagen is creating a vision of the future for travel that will help you sleep on the go. Ditch the drive-through today comes from Billy in St. Louis. This copycat recipe from the Old Spaghetti Factory is sure to delight: Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese Pasta. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on your next car (or just got a life question for us)?

How’d The Carmom Auto Show go? Well, the news isn’t quite here yet! At the time of recording, Kelly and Lizz are preparing to move hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of brand new automobiles…and have no idea what to expect of the event. Will they be up all night? Did they ask for enough help? Stay tuned for the post-show recap next week! Today’s millennial phrase of the day — caught in 4K — takes Kelly and Lizz down a history rabbit hole, then off on a tangent of impressions.

Kelly and Lizz give their uncensored reviews and ratings of the Swedish fish, peach rings, watermelon bites, caramels, gummy worms, Cola gummies, licorice, and sour blast buddies. The gals agree that whatever you do, just stay away from the poop brown, flavorless gummy worms. The 2023 Honda Pilot is finally being released in the most awkward way, and it’s keeping Kelly on the edge of her seat, asking all of the questions in today’s industry news. The new Toyota Sequoia gets a $391 million upgrade to its manufacturing plant, and a recent report reveals that traditional auto brands are coming for Tesla in the EV race.

Kelly is sick to her stomach — and it's not the 20-week baby scan that has her tummy in a twist. The Car Mom Auto Show is coming up this Sunday, and the gals are ready, rain or shine. Bring your umbrella and get ready to check out the Honda Odyssey that even the NY Auto Show couldn't snag. 'Busted' makes an appearance as the millennial word of the day. This Gen Z slang is infiltrating today's controversial great eight, now renamed 'the great hate.' Right now, EVERYTHING from the 2000s is back, and the gals are anticipating…and dreading what's next. Today's great hate features high school and college fashion trends of the 2010s. Thin infinity scarves, the color coral, owls, and chunky necklaces are just a few in the lineup. And wouldn't we all like to know when we're finally going to get our Zenon Girl of the 21st Century space girl vibes instead of these ever-returning trends? CBT News reports major automakers are diving into the metaverse to engage with digital car buyers. Toyota is focusing on its metaverse workspace, and Audi is turning their cars into moving theme parks. Lambo, Mercedes, and Ford are getting into NFTs and other VR technologies, while Subaru and Lexus are busy winning awards for their reputations. Questions have not stopped pouring in about micro-influencing. In today's advice segment, Kelly and Lizz answer a listener's question about moms influencing and showing kids on social media. Ditch the drive-through comes to you from Shawna in Tennessee. This is a proper ditch the drive-through recipe featuring a delicious and easy way to satisfy your Chick-fil-A craving on a Sunday…or any day! → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on your next car (or just got a life question for us)?

Second summer is heating up today’s episode with a controversial taste drive meets great eight (plus a few extras). An exciting invitation arrives, and ditch the drive-through brings the slow cooker magic and a delicious and healthy dessert. Kelly and Lizz talk about the hard-working food bloggers they could never be. After deleting TikTok, Lizz has no idea what’s going on with Gen Z, yet she’s scraped the bottom of the barrel for today’s millennial phrase of the day, “take several seats.” If you’re too much, take several seats. In the spirit of Gen Z trends, Kelly and Lizz share the fall fashions they love and are resisting. An invite arrives for the debut of the 2023 Kia Telluride in San Antonio, Texas and the gals wonder if the EV 9 invite is on its way next. Ford’s CEO is sticking with the V8 manual experience in the new Mustang that debuted recently at the Detroit International Auto Show. How I Built This featured RJ Scaringe recently, and the Rivian story did not disappoint. And to wrap up industry news, the gals share why Toyota isn’t all-in on electric vehicles — and why they aren’t. The ultimate taste drive and great twelve today is brought to you by listener demand and trolling comments on the ‘gram. The Carpool audience came out swinging for their favorite candy bars, so Kelly and Lizz are doing their due diligence today with just about every other bar you could think of. Was Kelly sleeping on the true winner? Is Lizz just scared for her marriage, or can she be unbiased in her vote? And will the gals de-throne Twix in the end? Oh, the chocolatey drama. Today’s advice segment covers a few handy car-selling tips, and the show wraps with a full ditch the drive-through meal. A listener shares her slow-cooker chicken mushroom stroganoff with peas that looks FIRE, and Lizz shares a healthy PB and chocolate treat from Earthy Andy’s Plant Over Processed.

Kelly and Lizz are giving basic and proud of it in this fall-tastic episode! If you're not basic this fall, what's wrong with you? The gals are providing the $36 service everyone needs right now — a taste drive of the full lineup of Starbucks fall flavors. They're also sharing the one fall thing that has got to go and chatting about their pie baking goals. Today's millennial word of the day is 'next question.' As in: "Sydney, is there anyone special you'd like to add to the family group chat?" Sydney: "Next question." Kelly and Lizz's last three transactions reveal an Abercrombie haul, an up-and-coming trend purchase at DSW, and Kelly's search for bump-friendly styles. The gals cover a few fall micro-trends, their upcoming color sessions, and how Brown is having a moment. In true crafty fall fashion, Lizz is loving her upcycled pot project, and Kelly is gearing up to make granny squares to crochet baby Stumpe's blanket. Pioneer Woman's Chicken Tortilla Soup makes an appearance in today's ditch the drive through — and it smacks! Kelly also shares her faux meal planning that she's calling "Meal Vibing." Industry news is model heavy. Kelly and Lizz report what they love about the new "Equinox" they toured, yet wonder, "If it doesn't look like an Equinox and doesn't act like an Equinox…what makes it an Equinox?" The devil works hard; Jeep works harder as they promise a line of 4 all-electric SUVs by 2025. To wrap up the episode, Lizz answers a listener's question about home decor, wedding photos, and bouquet preservation. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on your next car (or just got a life question for us)?

Just when the gals think there’s nothing to talk about, there’s everything to talk about. Today’s episode kicks off with an often overlooked self-care practice: car washes. Everyone knows a clean car drives better, so plug it into your routine, load up the kids for the wash adventure, and get yourself a car-wash membership. It’s 2022, and the gals don’t do Mean Girls vibes, but today’s millennial word of the day is the controversial ‘pic me girl.’ As in, Tyler is a pic me girl about his favorite candy bar — which is in the running for the best gas station grab in today’s great eight. Kelly and Lizz commit a crime and will probably be canceled for their picks in today’s great eight featuring Snickers, Twix, Kit Kats, Reese’s, 3 Musketeers, Hershey’s Cookies and Cream, Peanut M&Ms, and Milk Duds. Their secret candy desires are revealed as the gals crown the ultimate candy bar that’ll help you get your Halloween priorities straight, too. Micro-influencer business advice is back as Kelly and Lizz share about getting started, keeping it simple, and being social. They encourage anyone wanting to become a micro-influencer to get consistent with stories and reels and share some absolute non-negotiable no’s about influencing on the ‘gram. → Tag The Carpool on Instagram in your stories and share your successes! Get the Hyundai IONIQ 7 on your radar; the concept car is officially out, a man in Texas has the world’s first Rivian-powered vasectomy, and Kelly has questions about the sustainability of the electric used car market in industry news.

The reviews are in, and everyone’s already raving about season two. New Carpool merch has just dropped, and you can now rock a Carpool sweatshirt in black or gray while chauffeuring your kiddos to school. So True Bestie shirts from season one are still available, too. Kelly and Lizz bring a millennial word of the day from the ever-toxic Tik Tok — ratioed. Will Lizz get ratioed for her seasonal stance later in the episode? If you’ve had enough of the internet lately — Kelly has — you’ll be nodding along as the gals discuss how unhinged Facebook reels are and how they beat the Tik Tok toxicity by switching to the less addicting IG reels. → Kelly and Lizz are at 76K subscribers on YouTube, shooting for 100K! Subscribe to The Car Mom on YouTube here. When’s the perfect moment for grabbing your first PSL of the season? Kelly and Lizz have answers and the first great eight of season two. It’s giving fall. Bonfires, PSLs, home decor, and sweaters go head to head in this great eight. The gals call on mom to break their tie, which leads to mom’s chili taking over today’s ditch the drive-through. You can find mom’s legendary, award-winning chili recipe over on thecarmomofficial.com. In industry news — which large SUVs are the most reliable, longest lasting, and most likely to reach 200K miles? A report from iseecars.com analyzed 1.8 million vehicles to find out. Kelly also shares a terrifying story from Motor Trend about Teslas running over child-sized mannequins. Yikes. We hate to see it. Kelly and Lizz share their recommendations for non-mom friends and fans of the Carpool, and a heated buffalo wild wings debate wraps up today’s show. Why does it seem like all millennials have issues with their gut health? Lizz has been taking Binto’s Bloat Aid when indulging in foods like cheese, alcohol, bread, or an unpredictable test drive tasting on the show!

Kelly’s gone rogue this week at Carters, Target, and Old Navy after finding out big baby news that she reveals on today’s show. Lizz adds to the baby fun with a list of illegal baby names worldwide. These two can’t keep a secret to save their lives, so today’s millennial word of the day — gatekeeping — just isn’t in their wheelhouse. The long-awaited Magic Spoon Cereal test drive is here! Do the 5 cups inside each box justify the $8.99 price tag? Kelly and Lizz taste-test the Fruity, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate flavors to find out. Kelly briefly updates us on her BeReal experience and dives into the industry news she managed to scrounge up this week. A recall of 2020-2022 Hyundai Palisades and Kia Tellurides over a fire risk affects 281,000 vehicles. The gals talk about air tag safety concerns and common signs of trafficking before getting ramped up about the upcoming Chevy Equinox unveiling that they’ll be in Detroit for next week. To wrap up industry news, Kelly shares a shocking story of a recent 2023 Corvette purchase in Texas. Ditch the drive-through today comes from Brittany in Philadelphia. The gals were on the hunt for a fantastic chicken salad, and Brittany delivered a delicious recipe with a poppy seed twist. A listener writes in for advice about adult birthday gift giving, and Kelly and Lizz share their thoughts about gift-y people, birthday people, and horoscope people.

Two very married gals are here today, bringing you SEASON 2 of the Carpool Podcast! They just keep climbing the charts — oops — so this episode kicks off with a little re-introduction. The millennial word of the day is clean girl aesthetic, and like most Gen Z things, it’s hard to explain. Basically, Hailey Bieber + Athletic Greens = clean girl. Kelly and Liz offer a (not sponsored) apology to Dime perfume and share how wearing the perfume went over the last week. The test drive was a little harsh, but both gals are seriously considering a purchase now. Today’s taste drive features three entirely unhinged oreo flavors:
Toffee crunch
Pumpkin spice with a vanilla cookie
Caramel coconut that is giving Girl Scout Samoas
Then, Kelly brings a wild card topic to the show: MLMs, micro-influencers, and making a little extra cash with affiliate links. Industry news dives into Carvana’s new influencer commission model, why Kelly and Liz are not fans of the company, and what’s next for automobile affiliates. An inventory update from Automotive News estimates how long we’ll be at inventory record lows, while a Toyota report records highs in customer satisfaction. Kelly gets an invite from VIN Fast to tour their facilities in Vietnam, and data from IC Cars reveals the shocking percentage of EVs in each state. Ditch the drive-through, an artichoke rice salad from Brunch with Babs, had Kelly sold at first sight. Rice-A-Roni? Say no more. You can use this recipe as a side dish or add chicken to make it a meal. Yum! Are car dealership trade-in promotions spam mail or legit? In this week’s advice segment, Kelly and Lizz encourage listeners to run the numbers and shop around — no one wants your car THAT bad. Today’s episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.

The newlywed St. Johns are in the house for the season finale of the Carpool podcast. Of course, a wedding recap is on the agenda. Gen Zers are unhinged about today’s millennial phrase, and Lizz and Kelly agree it was overused on the wedding weekend. The episode rounds out with a test drive and ditch the drive-through. Wedding questions from the carpool crew reveal Lizz and Mattie’s favorite parts of the day, what went wrong, how was Kelly’s speech, and who was the most fun (hint: his wife is pregnant). The gals share a hilarious story about Tyler’s love for our Carpool fans, which is so next level that it resulted in two Carpool listeners making a forced appearance at the wedding reception. You’ll also hear who was bridezilla, what Mattie thought about the ‘first look,’ who saved the day with their seltzers, and the one thing Kelly didn’t have on hand. The only thing close to industry news today is that the crew rode off into the sunset in the new Expedition. The unanimous consensus from Lizz, Mattie, and Kelly is that the day was one of the best days of their lives. Lizz and Mattie are now off on honeymoon in Mexico, so there will be no episode next week! The following week Kelly and Lizz will be back with two episodes a week for the brand new season. Today’s test drive is the Dime Perfume sample set. 7 Summer is giving popular girl in 8th grade with a bit of Victoria’s Secret, Lovely Dream is sweet and sassy, ILYSB is gushers in a bottle, and Malibu Night brings the straight-up coconut vibes. Bubble guts, anyone? Today’s episode is brought to you by My Binto and their incredible digestive enzymes. Kelly and Lizz rave about how easy it is to message an actual health professional anytime through My Binto and how much they love their My Binto products.

on Lizz’s last episode, as a bride-to-be, Kelly commits to turning down her drama, Lizz tries to keep her cool the week before her wedding, and they share a sisterly bond over their love for any recipe that calls for a stick of butter. Kelly and Lizz try their millennial best to remember what Visco girls are and decipher the ironic from what’s genuine in the Gen Z vernacular as they define the millennial word of the day ‘and I oop.’ Round two of the (so far disappointing) Ollipops is here with a test drive of the ginger lemon, cherry vanilla, and strawberry vanilla flavors. Finally, one soda takes the cake and puts Ollipops somewhere between a seltzer water and soda pop experience. Old wives’ tales are in the house! The gals give predicting the gender of Kelly’s baby a shot, and there’s more to come. Today, they analyze Kelly’s food cravings, hair and skin glow, and mood before pulling out a Chinese gender chart. In the last three transactions segment, Lizz gets ready for her honeymoon with a clutch and a wifey sweatshirt, while Kelly finally feels good enough to eat her favorite salad from Chick-fil-a. Lizz is also gearing up for some video recording of the podcast episodes, and Kelly is going all-in on Hatty’s wardrobe. Industry news is some hot goss on a Volkswagen throwback, Rivian layoffs, and wholesale vehicle prices decreasing. A listener brings the Mississippi pot roast to ditch the drive-through. And the gals give a bit of parenting and tips on getting started with stocks. Don’t miss the summer merch mentioned at the end of the episode! Grab your ‘So True, Bestie” tees here.

BIG baby news is here this week, and Lizz dives right into a preggo Q&A for Kelly. Will she find out the baby’s gender? How are the two Stumpe kiddos warming up to the news? Can the whole Stumpe family still fit in the three-bedroom house? And, of course, is the Expedition here to stay? This week’s millennial word of the day is a Gen Z app trend called ‘Be Real.’ This French, spur-of-the-moment social media app is all the rage in the Gen Z crowd, but Kelly and Lizz are just not ready for this level of real. Change is stressful, and the gals are torn over the new Instagram updates. The consensus? The Carpool podcast is in, and Instagram is out, but they’re still not leaving anytime soon! On this week’s test drive, Kelly and Lizz give three Ollipops flavors a shot as their public service. Let’s just say Mattie will have plenty of rejects to drink later. In industry news, Sequoia by Toyota is reporting better mpg as a hybrid, and Kelly is ready to get her hands on one to tour. Lizz gives a listener some small business wisdom and shares her app and routine recommendations for moms who lift. Kelly shares an absolute jaw-dropping rave over Naptime Kitchen’s creamy chicken enchiladas — a crockpot and freezer meal that had her and Tyler going back for seconds (and lunch the next day). Check out this recipe that’ll make a 9 x 13 pan for dinner and two 8 x 8 pans for the freezer! Today’s episode is brought to you by My Binto. Kelly and Lizz rave about the inositol they discovered through My Binto and how it can help reduce anxiety, support hair growth, balance blood sugar, and curb cravings.

“Do you even know us?!” These two rusty gals are back from vacation, just hit 500,000 downloads of the Carpool Podcast, and want to send a huge thank you to their listeners! Lizz is getting married in two weeks and reports on the last of her dress saga. After a tiff with a disgruntled employee, a chat with the shop owner, and a few more fittings, Lizz finally has THE dress in her hands! In the millennial word of the day segment, Kelly and Lizz admit, “Drip we are not, dry we are,” in their biker shorts and tanks. Their most recent trip to 30A was full of chilling in the best way, minus the $14 hot dogs and chicken nuggets by the pool. A highlight of the trip that inspired today’s test drive was the completely unhinged candy store. The gals didn’t come home with sardine candy canes or hot dog cotton candies, but they are giving some Fruit Loop, Kool Aid, and Sour Patch grape gummies a try. Next up on Kelly and Lizz’s last three debit card transactions, Kelly’s on a health kick and feeling inspired in the kitchen, Lizz flushes $58 down the drain, and Kelly tackles a home reno update. In industry news, Rivian rolls out their first electric Amazon delivery vehicles and reports a staggering list of reservations for their new R1S SUV. The new Honda CRV stokes the Rav 4 battle and proves it’s a car to watch, which Kelly and Lizz would love to do at a Honda event (wink wink, Honda!).

Kelly and Lizz have got places to go and people to marry this summer, but they’re back from ‘The Bach’ and ready to recap their weekend with their girlies on this loaded episode. Kicking the episode off today is a light hearted millennial word of the day ‘core memory.’ As in, the bachelorette weekend is, for sure, a core memory! The gals headed to their family’s lake house in the Ozarks where dad captained the boat. The 200 seltzers Kelly bought for the weekend plus a batch of the Suntrup family classic Yucca made for quite the mix of day drinking and night drinking that left Lizz yearning for her middle of the day naps. Kelly and Lizz give a nod to the power of dressing in color schemes with your friends. Mama Kelly frets over the dangers of night swimming and brags up her morning parfait bar that was served alongside quiche and cinnamon rolls. Bachelorette jeopardy was a huge hit and exactly zero twerking happened on the cove-out — mostly because the gals don’t know how. Industry news is a little sad today as reports of new car prices and leases continue to rise. On the bright side, Bloomberg reports that the US has crossed the eclectic car tipping point for mass adoption with 5% of new car sales powered only by electricity. Today’s ditch the drive through is all about Kelly’s fridge clean out. She’s normalizing everyone in the house eating different meals and using muffin tin charcuterie trays for the kids. To wrap up the episode the gals bring another new advice column segment to answer a question from a mom from northern Michigan looking for advice on buying a car for her new teenage driver.

The gals’ brand new advice segment is HERE! But before Kelly and Lizz dish their ideas on best family cars, they’ve got a fantastic little lineup for you. Kelly gives a not-so-glam review of motherhood and hates on the summer heat. She’s also got a recap of her recent trip to Indy with the fam including her first Torchy’s Tacos experience, fun with the kids, and the most darling parks she’s ever seen. Lizz brings a shocking and disturbing millennial word for girls that came straight from the mouth of a true Gen Z’er. It leaves Kelly and Lizz wondering…what are the Gen Z ladies calling the men?! Today’s great 8 segment flips the script from last week where Kelly and Lizz decided which of the Disney male leads would win the Hunger Games. This week, the gals are lining up Elsa, Rapunzel, Mulan, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Pocahontas, and Meg from Hercules. In the show’s first ever advice segment working and pregnant with #2 mom, Angela, writes in to get Car Mom’s advice on whether she and her husband should go with a Kia Telluride or a Hyundai Palisade as their new family car. Kelly and Lizz talk about car seat placement, third rows, and three-kiddo convenience. In industry news storage startup StowIt.com provides people a place to park their cars, boats, and RVs AirBnB style. Then, Kelly and Lizz discover the most popular vehicle in each state and which has the highest percentage of minivans on the road. Lizz brings a ditch the drive through that will help you figure out what to do with your leftover hamburger buns from dinner or a backyard barbeque. To wrap up the show, Kelly and Lizz check in on their summer goals and talk Peloton, painting kitchens, and peach salsa.

This week Kelly and Lizz are spying on a couple of grant-seeking scientists…aka they’re loving the cheesy love story inside of this month’s book club book The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. On the docket today is a millennial phrase of the day — “It’s not that deep” — as well as a hysterical great eight, decent industry news, and a ditch the drive through coming to you from a TCP listener in Ohio. Quick note from Kelly and Lizz: For July and August we’ll be publishing one episode per week. In September we’ll get back to two episodes per week. Lizz did her first ad on Instagram and is taking the slow burn growth of her following day by day. She’s happy to stay behind the camera for tours and content creation, though, since Kelly is, in Lizz’s words, atrocious at holding the camera. In the Tik Tok inspired great eight this week Kelly and Lizz decide which Disney princes would survive the Hunger Games. Featured are princes and male love interests from The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Tangled, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Princess and the Frog, and Sleeping Beauty. Who do the gals think can fight AND survive? In industry news, hopefully we’ve turned a corner and aren’t just headed downhill as demand numbers are slowing down a little bit. Interest rates and prices are up, some dealerships are trying to survive without much new car inventory, and companies like CarMax are seeing a decline in retail sales. Kia and Hyundai cars between 2011-2015 are being stolen everywhere after viral videos have shown how to start these cars without a key and Ford announced this week they’re no longer going to be allowing buyouts of their EV leases. The gals speculate why Ford is following Tesla’s lead. To round out the episode Kelly and Lizz rant about Subdivisions, HOA’s, toxic neighborhood Facebook groups, and dudes on hoverboards selling bug spray at dinner time. Speaking of dinner time, this week’s ditch the drive through is a delicious and quick throw-it-together meal that is a whole-family favorite at Kylie’s home in Ohio.

Warning: Bumpy ride ahead! Lizz is back from her 10 hour drive to Dallas WITH NO DRESS. The gals share their last three debit transactions — which may just spark some controversy and reveal the next book club book. Lizz’s wildest wedding dress fears came true this week complete with a near black-out, dress that wasn’t even close to fitting, and a wedding date quickly approaching. Kelly is going hard on hyping her backup and fending off the nightmare stories from other brides. At least the duo have Lizz’s bachelorette party to look forward to in a couple of weeks! Kelly and Lizz recount their last three debit card transactions. Kelly shares her bread bagel slice secrets (is this bagel heresy?) and purchase of a new, life changing 16 slice apple slicer. Lizz’s card is still getting a wedding themed workout with her most recent purchases of new wedding shoes and a fake diamond ring for the boat ride. The millennial word of the day — ship — is here to make Kelly, Lizz, and their millennial mom listeners a little less lame. The Carpool Podcast officially ships Lizz and Mattie. In industry news, new vehicles cost more, but there’s no shortage of buyers. The average transaction price for a vehicle is now over half of the annual US median household income and Kelly’s passion for affordable family vehicles is on the rise, too. A new collab between Honda Motor Company and Sony looks like a Tesla baby, and Kia shares its EV strategy and hopes to debut eight EVs by 2029. A short and sweet ditch the drive through comes to you from Kelly’s freezer and Stauffer’s lasagna. This one’s not so quick to cook, but it definitely belongs in your back pocket as a no-brainer, family-friendly, crave-worthy dinner option.

Long-lost Suntrup sis joins Lizz and Kelly today. Sydney is a 2000’s model Suntrup and brings a Gen Z flair to the show with a bit of slang, Q&A, and a college-friendly ditch the drive through. Kelly’s been practicing her maid of honor speech in the car and Sydney doles out some tips on how she can be both funny and heartfelt. Kelly deems that anything less than pure excellences will be a failure. Q&A with Sydney covers how she got started with rowing, her love affair with little sedans, and her quirky sense of style. She shares about her double major and masters degree plans and then…reveals who her favorite Suntrup sibling is. Today’s great eight is a worst eight all about what the gals hate about summer. Sweat, bugs, burns, laundry, and shaving make an appearance as Lizz, Kelly, and Sydney remember the most dreadful days of summer. In quake-worthy industry news, Toyota pushes back on criticism about their lack of electric vehicle progress and the gals love it. After all, not everyone wants to drive an EV right now. To top off this episode’s industry updates, the brand new Subaru Ascent is getting a facelift and 2.9 million Ford vehicles are recalled. A new noodle goes a long way when you want to ditch the drive through and Sydney leaves us with a pasta dinner that’s easy, spicy, and Gigi Hadid inspired.

Lizz is leaving Kelly! But only for a week. The wedding is just around the corner and Lizz is making a ten hour drive for her three final dress fittings in Dallas. Only time and distance will tell if the gals can handle working remotely from each other again. What makes you more millennial than saying Bye Felicia every time you hang up the phone? Maybe debating the great eight of millennial slang — which Kelly and Lizz unapologetically do on this episode. On fleek, adulting, goals, FOMO, and can’t even all make an appearance on the list and Mattie gets called in for a tiebreaker…may the most millennial word win! Kelly and Lizz have wrangled some wild auto industry news stories for today including a report on the new all-electric Chevy Blazer, which inspires the gals to dream up an interview with Chevy's badass CEO, Mary Barra. Next, they cover a new study that suggests your car color impacts its resale value and why yellow cars come out a clear winner in the resale value category.
