Luckily Lizz was there to step in and host a 4Runner tour to rave reviews. But now that she's feeling better, Kelly is ready to shop the Prime Day deals. The deals weren't the best, but she managed to get some great finds. One of those finds is a belt she needed for the influencer party both Kelly and Lizz are headed to this week. Does this mean they are fashion influencers now? If they are, Lizz has the perfect brooch! Speaking of brooches, they'll be perfect for a holiday outfit. Kelly is excited for most of the holidays, except the fall salad she perfected last year that could now kill her.... \n\n\n\nKelly and Lizz continue to be enthralled with the current season of 'Dancing with the Stars' and have a lot to say about this week's episode. Did the right person go home? How much does personality matter more than dance ability? They'll talk about their favorite dances and the ones that creeped them out. \n\n\n\nIn Industry News, a list of the top 25 cars that could last 250,000 was released and the top four are Toyota vehicles. Then some unfortunate news as Kia announced the Soul will not be sold after 2025. Then in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is bringing back the parmesan asparagus and Kelly is making an easy carbonara. \n\n\n\nLastly, Kelly and Lizz celebrate the lives of more of Blake's Besties including the stories of Claire, Molly Grace, Jude and Violet. "},"annotations":[{"startTime":317.34,"endTime":321.12,"type":"car","title":"Toyota Grand Highlander","url":"/cars/toyota/grand-highlander","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/2024_Toyota_Grand_Highlander_XLE_AWD_in_Blueprint%2C_Front_Right%2C_09-10-2023.jpg","quote":"And I was supposed to get the Grand Highlander this week, but something happened with it like it does.","canonicalId":"car:toyota:grand-highlander","priority":0.5,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"The Toyota Grand Highlander is a larger version of the standard Highlander SUV, designed to offer more space and features for families and travelers.","simplifiedExplanation":"The Toyota Grand Highlander is a bigger SUV from Toyota that provides more room and comfort compared to the regular Highlander.","imageAttribution":"Elise240SX (CC BY-SA 4.0)"}},{"startTime":329.4,"endTime":332.5,"type":"car","title":"Lexus GX","url":"/cars/lexus/gx","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/LEXUS_GX_%28J150%29_China_%2810%29.jpg","quote":"...they give me the Lexus GX, which is still an exciting car.
