Kelly and Lizz are bunkered down and ready to bring you a cold episode of the Carpool and they're kicking it off strong with Kelly's first micro-hobby of 2026. Is she canning? Reading? Quilting? Nope! It's all about hunting down the old school Fisher Price Loving Family House. Toys from the 90s really have nothing on the toys from today. \n\n\n\nKelly had a lot on her Driveway Dump today, including some social media trends that are driving her crazy. AI has her second guessing everything on the internet and one video got her good. Lizz is starting to think of baby names, but is coming up empty. Could the name Kelly be an option? \n\n\n\nThere's a correction from last week Kelly needs to make to kick off Industry News. But the biggest story is the Chicago Auto Show and the Car Mom tour you could be a part of. Get your tickets here!"},"annotations":[{"startTime":2302.66,"endTime":2304.96,"type":"car","title":"Volvo XC90","url":"/cars/volvo/xc90","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/2018_Volvo_XC90_2.0.jpg","quote":"...we talked about the Volvo XC90.
