While you're listening to this episode, Kelly is out drinking wine and Lizz is bridesmaid dress shopping. But before any of that, Lizz needs to again stop the rumors. She is NOT pregnant despite what the Halloween costume said! Speaking of Halloween, they both have notes from trick-or-treating that needs to be discussed. Why do people have giant decorations and then don't hand out candy? \n\n\n\nWith winter on its way, a listener has written in to get some advice on winter hosting. Since Kelly is fully in her hosting era, this is the perfect topic to bring up. Both she and Lizz have hosting in their future and share some great ideas you're going to want to pay attention to. It's kind of a micro-hobby and speaking of micro-hobbies, it's time for an update on what Kelly and Lizz are working on. Have they made any progress? \n\n\n\nIn Industry News, it's time to discuss GM getting rid of Apple Play. Why are they doing it? Will it be an upgrade or a downgrade? \n\n\n\nThen in Ditch the Drive-Thru, there are a lot of dishes Kelly and Lizz have to share. First is a delicious lasagna soup, then a dip that made their Halloween night and the beginnings of Novembeef. \n\n\n\nBefore they go, Kelly and Lizz have to make some 'Dancing with the Star' predictions!"},"annotations":[{"startTime":2041.8,"endTime":2042.8,"type":"brand","title":"GM","url":"/glossary/gm","quote":"...but now i guess there's just more um movement on the topic but gm will be dropping apple carbine android auto from all of its vehicles...","canonicalId":"brand:gm","priority":0.9,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"GM, or General Motors, is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, known for brands like Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac.","simplifiedExplanation":"GM stands for General Motors, a big car company that makes many different brands of vehicles."}},{"startTime":2041.8,"endTime":2042.8,"type":"term","title":"Apple CarPlay","url":"/glossary/apple-carplay","quote":"...gm will be dropping apple carbine android auto from all of its vehicles...","canonicalId":"term:apple-carplay","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Apple CarPlay is a system that allows iPhone users to connect their devices to their car's infotainment system, providing access to apps, navigation, and music.","simplifiedExplanation":"Apple CarPlay is a feature that lets you use your iPhone in your car, showing apps and maps on the car's screen."}},{"startTime":2041.8,"endTime":2042.8,"type":"term","title":"Android Auto","url":"/glossary/android-auto","quote":"...gm will be dropping apple carbine android auto from all of its vehicles...","canonicalId":"term:android-auto","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google that allows Android users to connect their smartphones to their car's infotainment system, enabling access to apps and navigation.","simplifiedExplanation":"Android Auto is similar to Apple CarPlay but for Android phones, allowing you to use your phone's apps in your car."}},{"startTime":2049.9,"endTime":2050.9,"type":"term","title":"ICE cars","url":"/glossary/ice-cars","quote":"...they're starting with their evs and then it's going to eventually expand to all of their ice cars...","canonicalId":"term:ice-cars","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"ICE cars refer to internal combustion engine vehicles, which are powered by gasoline or diesel engines, as opposed to electric vehicles.","simplifiedExplanation":"ICE cars are regular cars that run on gas or diesel, instead of electricity like electric cars."}},{"startTime":2049.9,"endTime":2050.9,"type":"term","title":"EVs","url":"/glossary/ev","quote":"...they're starting with their evs and then it's going to eventually expand to all of their ice cars...","canonicalId":"term:ev","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"EVs, or electric vehicles, are cars that are powered entirely by electricity instead of gasoline or diesel, contributing to reduced emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.","simplifiedExplanation":"EVs are electric cars that run on batteries instead of gas, which helps the environment by producing less pollution."}},{"startTime":2067.5,"endTime":2072.7,"type":"term","title":"infotainment system","url":"/glossary/infotainment-system","quote":"its own voice automated in integrated infotainment system which includes features like navigation and car services um but this change will be phased out over time...","canonicalId":"term:infotainment-system","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"An infotainment system is a combination of entertainment and information delivery in a vehicle, integrating features like navigation, audio playback, and connectivity with smartphones.
