TARGET VS KOHL'S

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. Next up, Kelly ...

RAIN OR SHINE, THE SHOW MUST GO ON

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, a...

CARPOOL IS A CANDY PODCAST NOW

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 yo...

BASIC AND PROUD OF IT

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...

SELF CARE STARTS AT THE CAR WASH

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...

FALL IS IN THE AIR

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 noddin...

OH, BOY

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 Butt...

THE CLEAN (MARRIED AND PREGNANT) GIRL ASTHETIC

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 har...

INTRODUCING MR. AND MRS. ST. JOHN

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 pr...

LESS THAN ONE WEEK UNTIL WEDDING AND EVERYTHING IS OK!

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...

THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

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 le...

PICK-A-PRINCE

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.

WEDDING DRESS NIGHTMARE

Warning: Bumpy ride ahead! Lizz is back from her 10 hour drive to Dallas WITH NO DRESS.

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 ha...

PODCAST ON FLEEK

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...
