Welcome to the carpool podcast with Kelly. And that's what people don't always realize about country living. Like, if you think you won this life, which is the new or I wanted this life, it's awesome. But like, when you live in the country, like, you have wolf spiders and ringsnakes in your basement, and like, I just get to the point where I vacuum them up. Like, they're just dad in our basement all the time. And Liz. The morning, the day, the week that I've had, first of all, according to my cycle, I should be glowing right now and for some reason I'm not. So, that's ridiculous. Your mom time off starts.
Now. Welcome back to the carpool podcast with Kelly. And Liz. Hey, Liz. Kelly, you're a little toxic right now. Oh, because I look good. Because, like, do you have a blowout? Like, why is your hair looking so good? Okay. First of all, thank you so much. I, guys, I'm out of my ugly era. And I'm like, I'm like a good, and I'm in like a good era. Like Tyler yesterday was like, your makeup looks really good today.
Yeah. What a weird compliment for a husband to give. Is that your makeup looks really good? And I was like, well, thank you. And I did blow out my hair. So that's new for me. But I, this kind of sparked the idea of a new segment that I want to start. Oh, okay. And like, most things, it's going to be a workshop. But it's something along the lines of like, a detail, like a, and like, saying that like a car detail and saying like, what beauty products I'm liking.
I asked Shatchy BT and it came up with bad, bad, bad, bad, bad things. Yeah.
Shatchy BT at its core is so choogey, so choogey. It's so choogey. What is going on? So I said, I gave it the one silver. I said, I gave her a lot of details. I say, I run a podcast. We do segments. We like to make our segments auto related. So what, what's the segment that's auto related that would be about my favorite new beauty products.
From bumpers to blush, from polish to the wall. It's time for the detail shop. Let's see what we brushed off.
And I said, and they go to one of the shorter and I said, yeah. And they said, polish pamper beauty swap rolling to the detail shop. It's each one is worse than the last. Yeah. No, that's like, unusable.
And it's just like hard to like, I'm not going to keep telling Jatchy BT they're doing a bad job. It's just like, it's like you're just not capable of coming up with what I'm looking for.
So it's either something like detail shop or like tune up.
Like detail. Yeah. Okay. What about just like, it's time for a detail shop where I share recent beauty swaps.
Like things I swapped. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like since I was confused on the word swap, but that makes sense.
Or like things I've shopped. No, it's time for detail shop where I share recent beauty swaps.
Okay. Here's the thing. It has to be things that we have like the tried and true. Like, we've been using it for weeks now. Like, this is not it. Oh, I just got it. Like, no, this is like, these are going to be good recommendations.
And it's not always a recommendation. Sometimes it's like things we're doing differently. And it is I think it's also lives outside of just beauty.
It's like anything we've done to get us out of our ugly arrows recently. It's kind of, yeah. Okay. I need to go to the detail shop because your toxic and looking beautiful.
The morning, the day, the week that I've had, first of all, according to my cycle, I should be glowing right now and for some reason I'm not.
So that's ridiculous. I have my family photos tonight. So that's frustrating. Hopefully we can hopefully, you know, some makeup and a tan will put that together.
I'm getting my countertops installed right now, which is so exciting.
But I'll also lost my child care today. So I am like have my kids with the countertops install my in laws are here right now watching them.
So I can record this podcast. Thank you so much. But yeah, things are like a little bit hectic. And I thought I was going to be able to like have a chance like blow my hair out and like be stunning like you. And I just don't have that totally.
So yeah, no, it's so hard.
And it was like I thought I was going to be in my my pretty era. So then it would be effortless. And now it's going to like require a lot of effort.
So much effort. And like you can always tell, you know what I mean? Yeah. No, I don't like look at me. So anyway, that's what I got. Okay. Well anyway, I was going to share my detailed shop. Oh, yeah. Okay. Let's see it. Let's hear what you're doing.
My beauty swap. Okay. And again, like this is tried and true. Like I'm not going to be giving into consumerism here. Like these are like things that I've done that are starting to work or things that started doing again.
First of all, you're not going to this one's not for you. So like this one's not going to be relevant to you. But freaking baby lash eyelash serum is oh, yeah.
It is unbelievable. Now talk about the long game. Talk about the long game. Like it takes honestly eight weeks. But then your lashes. I'm I'm fluttering away. Do you see my lashes right now? Yeah, you're floating.
I'm fluttering. Yeah. Like it is. So one, two will ask you three months. I and it does. Oh, my gosh. Like it's so worth it to me because like then use any mascara. Use no mascara and just curl your eyelashes. Like it is one of the best products that I've used. Like literally take away my moisturizer. Take away anything.
Leave my baby lash. Yeah. Really? If you have eyelashes, you have everything. I see I cannot every time I try and use any eyelash serum, it like irritates my eyes to know. And I literally can't use it. Yeah.
And like things my eyes for a second. But like in a it's working kind of way. Yeah. No, it like creates like a yeah. No, it doesn't work.
No, you're sad. Yours has happened where it's like it's changed. Like it makes it red. Yeah, it makes my eyes read. Yeah, doesn't do that for me. So I'm telling you, though, like wow. Okay. So I lash serum. I lash serum. If applicable. I thought you had other ones. Oh, well, I think like the second was just like what you're doing. But like I do have one more that I can share with you. Okay. Yeah, I would like to let me hold on. I got to go to my recent orders. This is actually something that sharte fit told me to get on Instagram.
Okay, hold on. I got to find it. It is this spray. It's called IGK. Good behavior protein smoothing spray protein is such a freaking buzzword right now. Such a buzzword. Okay. It's like a hairspray. But like if you put that on your hair and then blow dry it. It's. I'm not being dramatic and makes your hair feel like the salon. It kind of like dries it out in a way. But in a good way like in a nice like smooth texture.
You're kind of way. Okay. I was going to say your hair looks like you have good hair. Your hair looks amazing right now. Elizabeth, I'm telling you it's this IGK spray. So I put all my hairs wet. And then I pull right now. I think also the hack is like having time to blow dry your hair. Yeah. Like I used to be such a night shower. Go to that with my hair wet and unfortunately after Libby was born. I suddenly had like not pin straight hair. Like I have like curls in the back and straight pieces in the front.
Like it's disgusting. My hair. My natural hair. Well, I shouldn't say that. If I basically have my hair air dries. Like it's just not what what it once was. Yeah. So I've definitely it's taken a lot more for thought because it's.
Washing then blow drying something I've been doing though is like I'll be able to like sneak in a shower. Sometimes in the morning, like before Tyler leaves.
And then I will bring my blow dryer to the kitchen and I will blow dry my hair.
The kitchen while Libby is eating breakfast. Hey, you got to do what you got it now. Are you just now are you just using a blow dryer?
Are you using like an air wrap? So I'm blow drying it. And then I'm if I have time going in with the air rap after. Okay. Good to know. Good to know. Okay. IGK good behavior.
I but I think it's the bay blush and the IGK good behavior. I think that's what you're picking up on right now. Okay. Yeah. You look you look really really great. Oh my gosh. You're so kind.
Okay. Something that I have been using. I was actually sent it, but I'm obsessed with it. And I can't tell if it's the product or if it's the brush because it's like they sent both of them.
But it's the the tart BB blur tinted moisturizer.
Okay. You have an ass I'm talking about. I think I'm going to be honest. I think you're like so late to the game on this. Like I think a lot of people are using that product.
Okay. Well, there's maybe obviously not everyone is because I wasn't so I don't think it's necessary to just say that I'm late to the game. Okay.
But here's the hack though. Let me tell you you buy just the BB cream at Ulta. It's $42. You buy the BB cream and the brush at QBC. It's $41. So I'm telling you you need to be looking before you buy any
BB products. You have to go to QBC first. And I don't think that people are talking about this. Yeah. I'm literally I'm trying to figure out why it's the say it's cheaper on QBC and you get the brush.
Then it is just like at Sephora. Ulta is not what QBC does. I get my my face wash philosophy. I get it from there because they sell 32 ounce flipping gallon of this face wash. Yeah. Yeah.
I think other QC stuff is like so like miss. And sometimes it's just like, okay, that's like crap. I could buy at home goods or like that's like a snuggie. Like I don't need that. But the beauty product bundles are so good.
Well, it's a stuff you were already going to buy. Like it's literally just check there first.
Babelash on there. I don't know. Let's see. No, of course not. Of course not.
But there's other ones like the. Oh, this is Bay Blash is going to be on prime sale. Oh, let's stay tuned. Okay, that's exciting.
And I'm getting I do the essential service in the gold 10. Okay, good to know. Yeah. Um, okay. Well, that was the first thing. So I just started
I wanted to get that. I mean, I wanted to get that out. I though have also like some hosting notes that I want to go over really fast.
I think we're all just in our micro hobby hosting areas. And I actually was hosted this weekend. Oh, I was hosted at my sister in laws.
She had her her son's baptism. I was the Godmother. So huge. Wow. Really big year for you. Huge day for me. Um, and first of all, like me and her always complain about.
It is baptisms logistically nightmare nightmare. Yeah, logistical nightmares. Yeah. I cannot believe that
Like, and maybe this is like just our family or like our where we live, but like you do the baptism. And then you go back to the person's house.
Like the like the child's parents house and have a meal. A lunch. A lunch. It's like, well, the parent was just at church with her four children.
And now we have to go back to her house. Her house has to be magically cleaning a meal has to appear. No, and no, and the parent, the host is always the last one there because they got to talk to the priest.
And they got to collect everything and they're taking pictures. And meanwhile, grandma and grandpa are like, all right, we'll meet you at the house. And you're like, all right.
Well, can you put the friggin fruit platter out while you're there? It's a nightmare.
It's like a logistical nightmare. Anyway, my sister-in-law pulled it off. Like I walked in her house spotless.
Like I don't know how she had her house so spotless. She did hot dogs and chilly. First of all, smacks. I mean, I think she was kind of bummed. It was kind of hot outside because it would have been like more smacky if it wasn't 95 degrees in that September.
But she killed it. But what I want to compliment her on the most, which is like what I want to take away for my next hosting party is one. I know how you feel about apps. She had an app out when people were there.
And it was kettle corn, but she had this cute little like trough that it was in. And then she had cups there. And she's like, it's the boom chick a pop bag from Costco. It's a very light kettle corn.
But it's a yummy little thing to have out just kind of on the grazing table. Okay, sure. You know what I mean? So she had that out. And then she had a cooler. And in this cooler, she had fun like glass bottle sodas.
So she had like a cherry coke, a cream soda and orange soda, but like the cute like old fashioned in glass bottles. And I'm like, that's such a fun kid drink. That's not just your typical juice box.
That also feels like healthier than just like a soda and a can. I don't know why.
The glass is a little bit stressful, but I guess if the kids are old enough. Yeah, the kids are old enough. Yeah, it wasn't given it to Fred and I like put I poured Georgian haddies into it too. They shared one in a plastic cup.
Oh, okay. It's like a fun. It's cute. It's that it's aesthetic. It's aesthetic. So like for the older kids, like if you're hosting older kids like 12 year olds, like that's so fun. Yeah, that's cute.
So that's that love it. You're just like rocking.
Oh my gosh, what's the word? Racking up the God children these days. Well, I have two. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I have the two. What else do I add to my notes? My gum.
Um, you said a tattling. Oh, okay. This is I don't know what segment this goes. Oh my gosh. I have so many fun things to talk about. I don't know what segment this goes on.
Um, teaching your kids not to be a tattle, but also teaching your kids to tell the truth. Wow. Really, really interesting balance there. Yeah. Yeah.
Um, so when do your, and also like when do your kids like stand up for what's right and go tell an adult and when are they toddlers?
Like I'm genuinely asking. Like I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. You know, in like the example I'm giving is like, add Georgia school. They're not allowed to bring juice in their water bottles. Like they're only allowed to bring water in their water bottles.
And Georgia's like, well, so and so brought juice. Like should I tell the teacher? And I'm like, no. Yeah. Right. Cause like he doesn't need to tell the teacher that I don't care that someone so brought juice. Like that's not the rule.
He's like, that's not the rule. He's like, well, that's not the rule. So I should tell. And I'm like, oh, and you're a tattle. Like what?
Right. I don't, I don't know. This is like me having put no thought into it. My first gun instinct is like, unless it's hurting someone.
That's kind of what I was thinking to. Like if someone is being, if it's hurting no one, then don't tell anyone.
But like if had he snuck juice into her water bottle, I would want George to tell me. So is it like if it's had he tell me, but if it's like your friend at school, don't like it's just no. I think I don't, I think that he doesn't need to tattle on had. I think you need to catch it.
I don't think that's his responsibility. No, I think he needs to tell me really? If he knows something his sister's doing. I don't know.
I don't know. Yeah. So like, let's me this a bit of a group project. When is it like what a weird balance.
Yes, such a weird balance. Yeah, I don't know. Something that I want to talk about is, did you see that the Super Bowl performer was announced?
Yeah, I like that one. Bad bunny. Yeah. Does nothing for me. Oh, really? Oh, I think he's going to do a good performance.
I don't know any bad bunny songs. And I feel like a Super Bowl performer. You have to have like a ton of hits. And maybe I'm sure I know a bad bunny song because like I listen to the radio occasionally.
But like, does bad bunny have like six songs that everyone knows?
Okay, I am so sorry. I think I was thinking bad bunny was the other guy, Jay Balvin. Are those people different? I guess Jay Balvin.
Um, Jay Balvin sings despecito, right? With Justin Bieber? I have no idea.
I have no idea. But I was listening. I guess let me let me back up. I guess my, I think it's going to be good. I mean, I was excited when I saw it. I don't know.
It does feel like though. Is it kind of like a girl year? Like hasn't there been so many male Super performers the last.
No, Adriana was just a couple years ago. Yeah, but I think it's been like, I think this is, I think that was longer than you think.
Let's see, last year was Kendrick Lamar. Then we had Usher and then Rihanna. Okay. And then M&M, Dr. Dre Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary D. Blige, then the weekend, then Shakira.
It's kind of like boy, boy girl, boy, boy girl, boy, boy girl.
And I just think there's so many, I guess it's been, I guess Rihanna's like kind of a pop star. But like there's just like, there's so many pop stars right now.
Like how did we go from 2016, Coldplay with guests, guests, Beyonce and Bruno Mars to, I'm sorry, Bad Bunny. I don't know.
Bad Bunny is way bigger than you think though. Like I, but okay, I, I think that like just listen to the previous performers. They've been like, he feels a little niche.
And I'm going to name you. I bet you don't know it's single one of his songs. I bet. Monaco, T.T. Me, Pregunto. I like it. Me, Porto, Bonito.
I know I like it. Cause in the lack of like that, I think he's, I actually think he's going to be good. And you know, I'm probably going.
Well, I'm sorry if you're going that this is the performance you are going to see. I just, I'm sorry, I'm sorry if I'm being a hater.
But like, I just think that if a superble performer has to be someone so big that like you can name at least three of their songs out of the head. They're the average person. And I think I am the average person.
And I don't, I don't know. I'm, I was disappointed to see it.
Well, I think we, I think everyone thought it was going to be Taylor Swift. So I think there's like a level of like, we're all trying to like, okay, it's not Taylor.
Also like would love a country performer to come back on the stage.
It's been a long time since we've had a country performer. And there's so many like really big country performers right now that are kind of mainstream like Morgan Wallen.
Yeah.
That's brilliant.
I would love to see Post Malone.
I love Post Malone.
I mean, we haven't had a country person.
I mean, I do think it's better than you think.
And I'm holding out hope for bad money.
That money. Don't let me down because I'm really like champion.
For somebody I don't know a lot about.
See, I feel like you were, we were going to be aligned with this.
Like, I am very curious in the Carpool Facebook group.
Like, I want to hear people's thoughts on if that makes them excited or not because we are not, we are not aligned.
Okay. Yeah, we'll see.
We shall see.
I guess I was just like, Oh, I've heard of it. I thought it would be kind of hippie and happy.
And I thought I would know more of his songs, but I don't know.
You think he's hippie and happy because it means bad money.
Speaking of, speaking of bunnies, speaking of bunnies, you got bunnies.
We got bunnies this weekend.
You know, one thing about us is we're just stumpy farms.
We're just, we're, we're stumpy farms. We like to have animals.
We are blessed enough to be able to have animals.
And I'm excited about the bunnies. We have already had one casualty.
What?
Oh, I have to tell you this. Do you want to answer from stories?
No.
Yeah. We already had one die.
Who?
Uh, Buster.
It was not Buster.
How?
So, I briefly talked about this on my Instagram.
And apparently sometimes bunnies just die.
People say like, you can, bunnies can get stressed out and just die a lot.
And I think we, now let's me be clear. Like, we were really good about not letting our kids go too crazy with them.
Like, it was like, you know, 10 minutes on, like four hours off.
Like get the bunnies based. Like we do not let our kids like torture these animals,
but any sorts of the imagination.
And I think Buster just had a really hard day.
And I think it just, I mean, literally which one of that?
Like it was kind of crazy.
Oh, that's so sad.
Yeah. It was fine.
Our kids are kind of used to.
I mean, George is, I'm honestly happy it was George's bunny because
George has had a lot of lizards and frogs and snakes die in his care.
You know?
Yeah.
And we find like, I'm, you guys would be die if you, if you knew the things we found in our basement.
And that's what people don't always realize about country living.
Like, if you think you won this life, which is the megalore I wanted this life, it's awesome.
But like, when you live in the country, like you have wolf spiders and ringsnakes in your basement.
And like, I just get to the point where I vacuum them up.
Like they're just dead in our basement all the time.
Oh my gosh.
He had found a snake in my house right before Sloan's party.
I know. Yeah, he just, and that's, I mean, thank goodness for George.
George is just carrying the snake out.
Thank goodness for George.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
So the bunnies are going okay.
The bunnies are going glad besides that.
Okay.
For sure.
Good.
For sure.
Okay, Kelly, the group finally decided, we finally figured it out on the month of beef.
I'm so excited.
I'm so excited.
There are a lot of contenders, a lot of ideas.
We all, the thing is that there was no obvious answer.
When we had this submission, it was like, oh, how did we not think of this?
Uh-huh.
It's no van beef.
It's no van beef.
And it was right there.
It was right there.
I love how it's said.
And I just, it's something that Chatchee BT could have never come up with.
And that's where you guys need everyone needs to relax.
Like, they, they, they, they cannot touch the creativity of an actual person.
No.
Chatchee BT would have never come up with no van beef.
A group of people, when a collaborative product like this, it's no van beef.
We're very excited about no van beef.
If you don't eat beef, I'm so sorry.
But I feel like there's a good beef substitute.
Like, can't you, like, eat a ground turkey?
I guess.
Ground turkey, or if you don't eat meat at all, it's just, it's, whatever.
It's ground meat.
It's what we're basically doing.
Ground meat.
Ground meat, or ground vegan substitute.
Very excited for no van beef.
But before we get to know them beef, we have my favorite month of the year, which is
Crocktober.
Yeah.
Where we do different Crockpot recipes for the month of October.
Now, we spoke about this.
Now, I don't want to give spoilers, but like the first one I'm going to, because we want to recap it,
starts tomorrow.
The first one is Crockpot chicken and dumplings.
Yeah.
Huge for us.
Huge for the community.
I'm so looking forward to putting this in the Crockpot.
Let me pull it up for us.
Let me pull it up for us.
Is this, is this our dish of the drive-thru?
This, of course, is our dish.
Crockpot chicken and dumplings.
Okay.
Onion, chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, herbs, carrot and celery, peas, garlic,
refrigerated biscuits, obsessed.
Obsessed.
It's a lot of vegetables.
Oh, yeah.
It's veggie.
That's good.
So you're putting the chicken in there.
You're cooking the chicken.
Okay.
Once the chicken is cooked, you're going to shred it in the slow cooker.
Okay.
Then you're going to add the veggies.
It's not quite a dump and set, which some of ours will be.
Some of ours are just a more active from home on a Sunday.
You know, it's whatever you can do.
And then the dumpling is they just take these biscuits, these refrigerated biscuits, cut them into bite-sized pieces and just stir those in.
So that's the dumpling.
That's the, I mean, couldn't be easier.
So again, the ingredients, and we'll post this in the carpool.
Or if you're selling it for our emails, you'll get it sent to your email.
Onion, chicken breast, oregano, cream of chicken, thyme, bay leaf, celery, and then the rest of the veggies, and then one can have refrigerated biscuits.
Yeah.
Love this one.
Love this one.
And like, honestly, it's so shelf and freezer stable.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I mean, you've got a couple of veggies in here, but yeah, I mean, it's loaded with veggies.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm so excited for this.
So you're going to put everything.
It says, what's the total time to make this?
Does it say?
Okay.
So you're going to cook the chicken and everything for about three hours on high for three hours.
And then you're going to add the biscuits.
And you're going to do the biscuits.
So they're cooked through stirring every 30 minutes for about two more hours.
So it's an active crockpot recipe.
This is a Sunday afternoon.
That's okay.
Last year, I feel like we just, we wanted all dumping goes, and they were good.
But then they kind of get a little bit repetitive.
I feel like, like, you can only do somebody dump it.
Like, sometimes you have to have a little preparation.
And I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with a little preparation.
I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
And you know, it's still like, that was three hours on high.
You're cooking the chicken.
So like, you could probably cook the chicken six hours on low and then come home and then just do your biscuits.
I doubt it's going to take two hours to get the biscuits all cooked all the way through if I'm being honest.
Yeah.
I'm so nervous.
And we haven't tried these.
So like, we're all doing this together.
I'm a little nervous on how the biscuits are going to cook and not be doughy.
But I also guess like, doughy is a dumpling.
Yeah.
No, I think that's, I think that's how you want them.
Edge of my seat.
And I still need a new crockpot.
Well, it's just order one.
Well, I know, but I'm just trying to decide.
I also think my current crockpot isn't big enough.
I've got a big, I've got a big family.
I need to think at least a seven quarter.
Yeah.
Here's a 10 quarter.
That's crazy.
Is it?
I don't know.
Eight courts feels like in between.
No, I'm very excited.
Yeah.
So that's going to be our first crock tober.
Yeah.
So yeah, we will post them on Facebook or on Instagram.
But also if you just like go to the car mom website and then sign up for the emails,
they get sent to you every Thursday.
Yeah, they get sent every Thursday.
So you won't get this one until 30 to check when you're going to get it.
Thursday.
I'm going to be making mine tomorrow.
I'm going for, I'm going for, actually I'm going for September 30th.
I'm going to be making mine.
Okay.
Just to kind of kick it off.
And then I can give any notes.
I'll be sure to post notes on my Instagram.
That's good.
That would be helpful.
If I have any.
Okay, do you have any industry news?
Yeah, I do.
I have a good, I have a good little piece of industry news.
Okay.
Now it's time for industry news where I spoke to you going on the auto industry.
I guess not really news, but this is a article that I found very funny.
It's from Edmonds and it says car design trends that need to die.
These dumb design trends need to go away instead.
Okay.
I'll definitely have an opinion on this.
No, we will.
And honestly, we're going to be, I think you're going to like, you're going to actually not like them.
Okay.
Number one, overly minimalistic screen dominated cabins.
Yeah.
It is.
It's like.
What's like the girl bossing too close to the sun, like it's just too much.
Yeah.
I don't need it does look pretty, but.
I don't know.
I don't like that.
It's like, that's what now you need to be competitive.
It's so expensive, like it's just so adding to the cost of these cars.
And like, do I expect that in a luxury car?
Sure, but like some people need to chill.
Yeah.
Agreed.
Don't like the functionality.
I don't love the look.
Like I like some, I like some buttons.
I like the look of buttons.
I like the feel of buttons.
I know.
I agree.
Buttons allow you to be creative too.
It's like, okay, how uncreative you just throw an iPad on there.
It's like, give me, give me some design around the buttons.
Like, make it, make it interesting.
And this I thought was a good take, like when they're actually calling out
the luxury cars because they're saying luxury cars in particular are guilty of this.
Um, when I get into a Mercedes, I want to be greeted by leather wood trim and metal.
I want to feel the luxury instead of, instead of just feeling like computer screen, computer screen, computer screen.
Like, I want to feel that's my critique on the palisade.
The palisade took away all their design elements and they get way too big of a screen and way too much soft leather.
It feels cheaper.
Yeah.
And it's not.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, when you're, when you're turning the knob of like a luxury car, it's like it's a little heavier.
It's metal.
It's not so plasticky, like a, like a mass market car.
Like you can feel.
You can feel it.
It feels nice.
They take it away.
Okay, I agree.
What's the next one?
Okay, the next one is.
Okay, light bars and illuminated grills.
Yeah, sure.
I agree.
I like those.
They don't, they don't do much for me.
People say they look tacked and disconnected from the headlights.
I think they look tacky.
I think it's the same note.
It's like, I, it feels very.
Like a cop out.
It's like, again, get more creative with like an impressive grill.
Like don't just throw a light bar on there and be like, that's our design element.
Okay, the thing that's a fair critique.
Okay, next one.
Piano black trim.
Couldn't say enough about how much this is horrible.
Yeah, agreed.
Yeah.
Piano gloss black is like, it's found in, I think honestly the key of carnivals, like one of the worst culprits of this.
Don't you feel like your car is just riddled with that high gloss trim that shows every fingerprint?
I haven't noticed it so much.
I can't think I don't, I don't know.
Not a fan.
Okay.
It shows every smudge and smear out there.
It's so bad.
Like, and it's just, I sometimes feel like the manufacturers are just making it for like when you get in the car and you like how it looks when it's new.
But like you've got to think about what it's like when you're in it.
You know, if you say the key of carnival has it, I literally can't even picture it.
So clearly, if it does have it, it doesn't bother me because it's not a critique of mine.
Okay.
But I have noticed it in other cars and I've thought that way, but I haven't felt that way in the carnival.
Last one.
Glass roofs that don't open and don't have a sunshine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was that car?
I guess it's, it's, it's mainly in luxury cars.
Really, it's luxury cars that are just like trying to do too much.
Yeah.
Wasn't it, it wasn't the escalator IQ?
I thought it was a BMW because they all run together.
Well, because the BMW has that, you can like press that button and then it.
Yeah.
It falls.
Yeah.
It was the escalator IQ.
Because remember, they sent that like manual sunshine.
That was the price.
Yes.
Speaking of that is my press car for the week.
Um, but they sent me ones without the horrible second row.
Oh.
So it doesn't have the executive package.
I really feel like they like put one into the press lead just to give to me because we did love
that car.
Yeah.
There was a lot to like about it.
There was a lot to really hate about it.
But I think it all came down to that trim.
And see that's just what I didn't realize at the time.
Yeah.
Well, we can, we can write that wrong.
But yeah, I agree.
I agree in all that.
Something else that really bothers me when cars don't have it.
And like, I don't, I need, I need to speak to.
Uh, it is a car designer because I don't know why people took this away.
Sunglass holders.
Why?
Why do some cars just not have them anymore?
I think I get the way the things people like.
It's insane.
I get we removed CD.
I felt like around the same time they removed CD players.
They also people started removing the sunglasses holders.
And I get removing CD players.
Obviously, but like what?
Everyone still uses sunglasses and needs a place to put their sunglasses.
Yeah.
They're crazy.
I don't understand that.
I need to, I need, I need an answer on that.
I don't understand that either.
That's crazy.
Mm-hmm.
Crazy.
But they're like, but here's a light bar.
You know what I mean?
It's just like, their priorities could not be more backward sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like, it's also like, again, some things are maybe ugly.
Like they're like, oh, well, we want, we don't like buttons.
We're trying to make it look sleek.
But again, like a sunglasses holder is on the roof and it's concealed.
So I really bought a key of car and old doesn't have one.
Really bothers me.
It's so interesting.
You don't have one.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Is it by the left side of the steering wheel?
Is there a compartment?
By the left side of the, I don't know.
I've never checked.
Is that, is that for sunglasses often times?
Sometimes, yeah.
I've never, I haven't considered.
I'll have to go check it out.
I'll go check it out.
I have a lot to go look at in my car now.
I'm really question.
I really do.
I appreciate everything I know.
Wow.
Okay.
And that's going to be our episode.
Yeah.

So many tags.
This one is, this is a home run.
And this is the one that's going to get your kids to eat veggies.
It's chicken pot pie on a different note.
Like, I simply, I was going to make a chicken pot pie this week.
Nope.
Scrapped it.
Scrapped it for the chicken and dumplings.
Scrapped it.
It sounds like a really good reset meal.
Hopefully, it's amazing.
And it'll be like in a rotation.
I pray.

The conversation shifts to hosting tips, with Kelly sharing insights from a recent baptism party.

The episode wraps up with a preview of their 'Crocktober' series featuring a chicken and dumplings recipe.
Original notes
Kelly is in her pretty era today, which kind of inspired a new segment... if they can get the name right. It's the Car Mom Detail Shop revealing their beauty swaps. Yeah, it needs some work but the products the ladies are using don't. If you are looking for good eye lash, hair protein spray and tinted moisturizers then this is the episode for you!
If you're also in your hosting era, Kelly has more tips from being hosted over the weekend to plus up your party with not too much extra work. Plus, how do you teach your kid not to tattle yet still tell the truth?
Then, it's time to talk about the newly announced Super Bowl Halftime performer: Bad Bunny. Kelly is all for it, Lizz not so much. Speaking of bunnies, there are some new additions to the Stumpe farm... but it's not all good news as one has already met its maker.
In Industry News, there's a new list of car trends that need to die that Kelly and Lizz are mostly on board with. Finally, Croctober begins tomorrow with the first recipe you're immediately going to want to make - chicken and dumplings!
