Today, the gals take a moment to get ready for Thanksgiving, though.

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 ...

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...

Lizz and Mattie's first suburban Halloween might have been a bummer, but Lizz is back, and the gals are ready to show up and show out. Kelly and Lizz bring a millennial word of the day that is hot off the press: 'rizz.'

Uncommon Goods — one of today's sponsors — is your secret weapon if you want to avoid basic and bland gifts this holiday season. Th...

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 follow...

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.

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!!!

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 thi...
