LIVE
Welcome to the Carpool podcast with Kelly.
And there's just some days where it's like,
I wish someone in this house would give a rip
that I browned the butter and like, you know,
julienne the basil and like did things like that.
Just like when someone to care.
And Liz.
Let's put up our Christmas decorations later.
And then we're not like,
January 8th doesn't roll around
where like get these freaking Christmas decorations down.
Your mom time off starts now.
Welcome back to the Carpool podcast with Kelly and Liz.
And Liz has a hat headphone combo going on.
Headphones over the hat.
Tell us what's going on here.
It's the only way.
I mean, I couldn't wear them under my hat.
Yeah.
If you have like little buds in like you have,
I'm saying you have a full,
you have a full headset or a podcaster.
Yeah. Where's my headphones?
Still don't have them.
Would love to hear myself talk.
Well, I did something crazy this weekend
and I chopped my hair.
I went Bob, I went lob.
I went long Bob.
Long Bob.
And I'm obsessed with it.
But here's the thing.
After you get a haircut,
especially a dramatic one like I did,
it's always scary showering
after they've like done the perfect blowout.
And I think you owe it to yourself
to let your hair dry naturally.
Like I couldn't throw my air wrap on it.
Like I had to see kind of what I'm working with.
In the raw.
You need to get a base level.
Totally.
And so that's what I did.
And I'll be honest, it's not great.
Unstyled.
My hair wasn't, but it wasn't,
I always threw it up on a button.
So I'm trying to wear it down.
So I put a hat on and like with a hat,
it's really cute.
Like let me show you.
Let me show you.
Like she just took her hat off.
It's giving me a new color.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now I've had hair.
It's not great, but now I put the hat on and.
It's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And now it's good.
And now I put the headphones on.
So I'm going to be honest about something.
You should go shorter.
I don't know.
Cause I, you don't know.
I think you're so cute.
I feel like if you went a little shorter,
it would be even cuter.
I don't know.
We'll see.
I asked my hairstylist is like,
is everyone coming in and getting Bob's?
Because that's what's,
are Bob's all over your Instagram?
Yeah.
Okay.
So like it's Bob, Bob, Bob girl fall.
Yeah.
We're bobbing.
We're broaching.
We're bobbing.
We're broaching.
And so I was like, is everyone doing it?
And she's like, yeah, they are.
And I try to talk people into doing the lob
just to kind of like get their feet wet
cause you can always go shorter.
But you can't, you know, she's like,
so I know some girls are going to come back
asking me for extensions in a few weeks.
Well, that sounds like it'd be good for business.
Yeah.
But she does.
She did say that this is her favorite haircut.
The lob is her favorite haircut
because it looks really good on a lot of people.
So just if you're considering just like go for it.
I have it.
I've dabbled in the lob before.
Like truthfully, I think after Fred was born
and after Hattie was born, I went and I did a chop.
You know, I just did.
I did what moms do and I chopped it.
And at the time I was like, oh, it's fine.
It's cute.
Now when I look back at photos and videos from that time,
no, hate it.
Hate it.
I like make my hair too light.
I let them cut my hair too short.
Yeah.
I am a brown headed long haired girl.
And that's just all I need to be.
You're also like crazy.
This is the craziest thing I think about you.
And that is that you can have like long hair
and never put it up.
Like you can be like neck deep and a dirty diaper
and like you didn't put your hair up.
Like your hair is down.
Like you can do anything with your hair down.
It doesn't bother me to keep my hair down.
And not that I don't know why I don't,
I just don't, I actually like how I look with my hair up.
I can just never execute it very well.
And like I love to figure out like the half up, half down.
Like those girls who can just like take a clip
and like throw it up.
Like you do follow Kate ate small things.
I think that's her handle.
No.
She's like queen of the half up, half down.
Like literally, like it's what she like went viral
is what she's known for is like her hairstyles.
And I am so jealous of her.
She's just like that.
She's like, well, let me just throw my hair back.
Yeah.
It looks good.
Every single time.
Yeah.
No, that's something that I'm really wanting to try
and master with this lob.
Because I hate that I always put my hair on top of my head.
Like it's so annoying, but like I can, I'm not like you.
I have to have it out of my face, but I, I want it up.
So I actually just ordered some clips off Amazon.
Like I'm kind of trying to figure out
what my clip game is going to look like.
Totally.
Totally.
But speak, it's so funny that you're wearing that hat
because speaking of hat, where'd you get that hat?
Oh, yes.
I got this hat at Merrick's Arts Anthropology Launch Party.
It was so much fun.
It was amazing.
It was.
So if you missed last episode,
it was with and I went to Merrick
at Merrick's Art is her Instagram handle.
She's huge.
She's got 1.2 million followers.
Like, you don't, we don't need to tell you who she is.
You know her.
And she's an amazing fashion creator.
And she's doing a collab with Anthropology
that comes out that came out yesterday.
No, today.
Well, I thought this was launching Wednesday now, Liz.
It's a new schedule.
Oh, I'm so thrown off.
You're right.
It launches. This has come out on Wednesday.
It launched it yesterday.
And she threw a party for it.
And it was the best event I've ever been to.
It was so cool.
Here's what I loved about it.
It was like at her house.
So, which was just like really nice and like in cozy,
you know, an intimate,
but she had like her collection set up
and then she had an accessory bar
where you got like some items from her collection
and then like a couple of other like Anthro items.
And so I got this hat with a bear on it
that I'm wearing right now.
It's super cute.
Super fun party.
I mean, anything butternut squash ravioli was on the menu
and like those are three of my favorite words put together.
I need to get my butt to a Trader Joe's
and get some seasonal raviolis.
I've spent too long since I've had, I just,
I want all of them.
I want the sage.
I want the, and like the thing about raviolis is
it's not something that I would really make
for my family for dinner because Georgia doesn't eat cheese
and like Tyler would just like freak out
if I didn't serve her protein.
But like it is what I need for my girl dinners.
Your girl lunch.
My girl lunches are like,
oh yeah, the kids are eating muskos.
Like, you know, sometimes Tyler also, he's so crazy.
Sometimes Tyler will just like
eat a thing of like deer sausage.
Like that's what he wants for dinner.
And I'm like, OK, like I'm so like on the days I just can't.
And I should just like take it as like a thank you.
You're not asking me to cook you dinner.
I don't know why it annoys me, honestly.
But there's just times where it's like the kids are muskos.
Tyler wants to eat his deer sausage,
like doesn't want to touch what I'm attempting to cook.
And like I should have a butternut squash ravioli on deck.
Yeah.
And I'm just going to work on that.
For sure. No, Maddie's the same way.
He like is so fine with just having like a bowl of ground beef
with cheese and hot sauce.
And at first I was like, OK, but I can also make you like I can cook.
Like, you know, I can cook, right?
And then I'll like one day I'll just be like,
I'm over it. Here's some ground beef.
And he's like, this is the best meal.
Like, OK, great.
Like you're pissed. You're like, yeah.
I know. It's like you didn't want to eat my delicata squash.
That was delicious.
I know. I know. But that's OK.
You know what, it actually doesn't annoy me anymore
because it makes my life easier.
But well, I know.
And we need to take the W.
But like I am looking forward to the days where.
Like my kids want to like some of my kids.
I don't even care which ones.
I just think is my husband's not a foodie.
Yeah. My husband's not a foodie.
Your husband's not a foodie. No.
And there's just some days where it's like,
I wish someone in this house would give a rip
that I browned the butter and like, you know,
julienne the basil and like did things like that.
There's like one someone to care.
I know. And so I'm hoping one of my kids
like will be that person with me.
At this right now, I'll be Libby
because she's honestly my bestie.
She's my bestie right now. Yeah, totally.
So I feel that that's why I like haven't made chili yet.
I want to make chili like Maddie doesn't eat onions.
James is so picky.
So I'm like, who am I going to make chili for me?
I know. I made a big I make.
I made a big pot of chili last night,
which is what I saw your chili.
And all I wanted was to just like be there and eat it.
Well, do you want me to bring you some after this podcast?
I have so much.
Let me just let me just bring you one serving of it.
Bring one serving.
That would be great.
One little serving of my chili.
But it doesn't have to be a little serving, though.
Like it can be like a healthy serving.
Yeah, no, I've got the perfect container.
I'll send you with some chili.
And you can get your chili facts.
Perfect, because I have ground beef in the fridge.
So I'll just give that to Maddie for dinner tonight.
And I'll eat that.
So anyway, yes, I did.
I had such a great weekend, such a fall filled weekend.
Unfortunately for us, like it's still 81 degrees.
Like I'm totally sick of it.
Yeah, I'm sick of it.
And I'm so worried we're just going to have that fall
where it's like 81 32.
And you're like, oh, wait,
whereas I want it to be 50.
I just want it to be 50.
My fear is that we are going to get the 50,
but it's going to be 50 on Christmas
and then it's going to be snowing in April.
And here's my petition.
I'm like, should we just move Christmas?
If it's going to if the seasons are going to be so jacked up
that now like December is not cold
and it's only ever snowing like in the early year.
I'm like, that's I only want snow on Christmas.
If it's not Christmas, I'm not interested in snow.
Wow, you just like you're throwing a lot on the table right now.
I think it's all one cohesive thought,
but I'll allow you to answer.
Well, one, I think you're kind of centering yourself in Christmas
because like there's different climates all across the country.
It does snow for some people on Christmas.
Mm hmm. So I think that's like a consideration.
OK. And two, I think we just need to look at winter
for what it is and we need to.
This is why we shouldn't be rushing into things.
Sure. Let's not rush into Christmas.
So let's put up our Christmas decorations later.
And then we were not like January 8th.
Doesn't roll around where like get these freaking Christmas decorations down.
Like let's enjoy them when it's cold.
Maybe it's just like Christmas vibes.
Like I don't want to enjoy the Christmas vibes when it's hot.
I think I think like my big goal is like I'm just trying to cultivate
like seasonal vibes like this weekend.
Like I tried to cultivate a fall vibe.
I thought to myself, I didn't do this in September.
I didn't even do this.
Like I waited until October, like a proper fall girl
to cultivate the weekend that I had.
Apparently, I should have waited longer because the weather didn't cooperate.
And I think I'll do something with winter.
I'm just going to wait longer to cultivate those vibes.
And I'm really going to I'm really going to like dive headfirst
into all things winter and what that means.
And see now when I feel like you just said so many words
didn't actually add up to anything.
Other both giving word salad.
And I want to get back to my weekend for a second because this is OK.
OK, what was your weekend?
One thing about us is we're not going to solve.
We're not going to solve this problem.
Certainly not on this podcast.
Anyway, so my weekend consisted of trying to cultivate fall vibes.
First of all, I have tried to seek out an apple cider doughnut.
Didn't find that landed on like a cinnamon sugar, which was good.
But I'm still looking for that cake apple cider doughnut.
Still trying to find that everyone in St. Louis is like Eckers.
It's like, OK, I'm not going to have an hour for it.
I'm looking at I'm looking around my local places for anything apple cider.
Don't relate it.
Haven't found it yet.
Made a chili.
Watch the Lions game.
Yeah.
Chili was a 10 out of 10 situation.
It was my first chili of the season.
Everyone was excited.
Actually, all my kids ate it.
So shout out to my chili.
I just did up right.
I graded cheddar myself, nothing out of the bag over here.
I got the old cheese block out, got the old shredder done, melts way better
if you do it that way. That's just a fact. Mm hmm.
Sour cream, jalapenos, Ritz crackers, elite combination.
Yeah, sounds so good.
Crispy Diet Coke.
Put Libby down early, sat on my white couch with my bullet chili,
which was risky, but like it was worth it.
Yeah, turned on the Lions game.
Wow. Now that I know that sounds amazing.
That whole vibe lasted about five minutes.
Yeah.
You know, but the point was I worked all day.
Oh, and I had to have a clean house because I'm a psycho.
So I had a clean house.
I had my kids in my bed watching a movie.
Libby asleep, sat on the couch with a bullet chili.
Lions did lose to the chiefs, which was really sad.
That hurts.
That hurt.
That hurt.
But, you know, we're going to we're going to win some.
We're going to lose some.
I can really it really sounds like you're back.
Oh, yeah. And I'm so sorry.
I'm so bad.
You know, I'm so back.
I'm behind is what I am because I had to go out, go off
and have a mental breakdown for the last eight days.
Like, who has the time?
Yeah, no, I know.
Now I'm behind.
I know for real.
Well, I'm so happy.
I'm so happy that you're back and you're back to cultivating
vibes and things like you do.
Totally. So another really big thing.
And that's that's the crazy thing about me.
It's like, once I was back, I was so back.
Because another big thing I did this weekend to kind of get ready
for the fall and the winter months is I.
Went crazy on my toy organization, reorganizing, purging situation.
OK, because the thing is, it's like, you guys know this, like I'm in my
hosting era, like we have we have a great house to have other families over.
So like we're having people over.
Now, the summer, it's been fine because it's like we're out in the pool.
The kids are outside.
But as we're looking down the barrel of some colder months
and like more kids inside my house and my kids inside my house,
I simply cannot.
Like I was going to the point where it's like I didn't want to have people over
because like they were going to trash my basement and it was going to take me
hours to pick up all the toys in my basement, because the problem with my
toy situation was there are so many little pieces and there are so many toys.
We all run into this.
Yeah. I want to be able to pick up my entire
basement worth of toys in 10 minutes. Yeah.
Like that's just something that's important.
Me and Georgia, Heidi and Fred should be able to clean up the entire basement
in 10 minutes, not 40.
And I'm like not being dramatic like the amount of play food pieces that we had,
the amount of hot wheels that we had, it was it was overtaking it.
Yeah. So I made everyone go downstairs and I got three bins out.
Love a bin.
I said, this is what we're getting.
This is what we're giving to little boys and girls.
Like this is what we're donating.
Fill this one.
This is what we're going to take to the farm or to Gigi Papa's house,
because that's the other thing.
Like sometimes your toys don't have to like you don't have a rhythm forever.
Sometimes it's like they'll just be better served at a different location,
whether that be a grandparents house, like even maybe just now they're outside toys.
Like now I'm tired of them.
Let's take them outside.
And then one that we're just going to put in storage for a while.
So those are the three bins.
Now, I didn't really, I like kind of asked them,
but also I just kind of took control of the situation.
I knew what we were done.
I they helped me with the with the goodwill bin.
And then I did the other two bins, like what I'm getting rid of.
And I really did try to be mindful about like keeping certain things together.
I used to be more of just like a kind of a chaotic toy rotator,
which like I'm just picking up the first couple of things I see.
I am trying to like keep things together.
So like we're going to have the Fisher Price toys.
We're going to have the Paw Patrol toys.
We're going to have the cow and the truck and the tractor toys.
And I I'm so right now we have Fisher Price out Paw Patrols away.
The play food absolutely just gone.
I don't know what the deal is with this play food.
I bought play food off Facebook Marketplace and it is the kids do love it.
Like it is so fun, but like it is the bane of my existence.
It's so many pieces.
So I kind of I think my new thing going forward with the play food is going to be
like if we want to like play in the play kitchen with the play food,
like that's a great activity for us to do as a family Sunday afternoon in January.
Literally, I'm not keeping it out.
No, I had the exact thought I because I have play food all over the place too.
I got a bin out and I'm putting all my play food in the bin
and then I'm putting that bin downstairs and we will pull it.
I'm my toy road to my toy vibes is like I'm pulling bins out.
So it's like, OK, now we're going to play with the toy, the toy food.
And then once that activity is done, I'm putting it away.
It doesn't need to stay out.
It doesn't need to stay out.
And I'm just also being like the way I look at toys
is I'm really looking at like, OK, how is this actually going to get played with?
Because like it's so I mean, there are so many cool toys
and like cool packaging that's out there.
But like you have to think about how that's going to work in your home.
So for example, I'm starting to look for like Christmas presents a little bit,
just like, you know, just just just dabbling and Fred loves monster trucks, loves.
So I was like on Amazon and it was like there's so many cool like monster jam sets.
And I'm like, no, like I know we think it's cool.
But this track is not going to make it at my house.
Like it's just not. I think it'd be better.
So what I'm what I'm going to do is I'm going to get him like some monster trucks.
But I'm not getting the track with a hundred pieces.
We can build a track with magnet tiles or with blocks,
or you can do it with on the flip and ground on the nugget.
Like, yeah, on the nugget or take it outside with the rocks.
Like like this having this track here is not really going to translate into anything.
So the track can only be used then with the monster trucks.
Usually like you can never really put multiple cars.
Like if you have different brands of cars, they don't always go on the same track.
Like you are better off building your own track.
And so I just think that's also yeah, that that's good for the creativity
and whatever, they're not going to miss it.
So I'm just really trying to think about as I like bring new things in,
you know, what is what is playing with it look like?
And I'm just not scared to be a revolving door also.
Like when it's time to and that's why I just think like the purgatory bin
is like such a good way to do it because you're not getting rid of it.
But you're putting it away and then let's give it 30 days.
Are we asking for it? No, we're not. Like bye. See you.
Here's what I want to know.
And this is a good question for the carpool Facebook group.
Obviously hate toys that have a lot of pieces.
What toys with pieces are worth it, though,
because my Melissa and Doug ice cream set worth it worth it.
Multiple pieces worth it.
Those somehow don't get that lost or they're easy to put away.
Like I don't know why that one, but like a Melissa and Doug pancake set.
No shot.
Look, I'm not bringing that to my home.
Like the sandwich pizza sandwich.
No ice cream set. It works.
So I just like I want to know what what is worth it and why is it.
And if you I guess why is it worth it and maybe if you don't know,
but just like what I think we can all agree it's worth it.
Yeah. No, that one's totally worth it.
I mean, the Paw Patrol can't say enough things about it.
I think it does come down to size.
And like I love that that Paw Patrol Tower and those Paw Patrol toys.
They have served me so well.
Like I'm telling you, I will keep those for my grandchildren, those toys.
I think they're so fun.
Yeah, I think what's nice about that and the Melissa and Doug thing
is that they all the pieces have a spot to put.
So it's like the peak like as you can like store it in that can store
and easily go away and they don't just like throw in.
So I don't know. I'm a huge fan of both of those toys.
Totally. For sure.
So that was kind of my weekend.
Like it was a lot of cleaning, a lot of toy rotating,
a lot of chilling and some football.
And now I'm ready to to get into the week.
OK.

or artificial ingredients.
It's third party tested non-GMO and gluten free.

I think I've learned our lesson with that.
I hope not, though.
Yeah. So Kelly and I are speaking at the Women Lead Change Conference
in Des Moines or driving.
And the way that Kelly and I are so excited to drive five hours
just so we don't have to go to the airport and get on a plane.
What is up with that?
I think no, I don't think that's going to be everyone's experience.
I think St. Louis Airport sucks.
Yeah, I think it sucks.
I think there's nothing fun about it.
Um, from the parking to the terminal to, like,
the restaurants that are available.
Like there's just nothing.
It's it's it's not a good experience for anyone.
I really just think our airport sucks because when I go to other airports,
like sometimes I don't mind going and waiting at the airport.
St. Louis Airport, I want to spend as little time as possible.
That's true.
The problem is it's such you don't know.
You just have no idea what you're getting.
Like sometimes.
Yeah.
Sometimes you could like be in the secure line for so long for no reason.
Yeah, that's so true.
So anyway, we are driving.
We're really excited.
We are just like speakers.
Yeah.
So this is like a huge conference, like huge for women leading change.
And they told us on our call that we were the first podcasters they've ever had.
Oh, they're like, you know, normally it's like doctors, lawyers, like business women,
like, you guys are like, yeah, like, you're our first like podcasters.
And we're like, oh.
So not, not, oh, but like it's giving, it's just giving pressure.
It's giving pressure.
She also said that there's going to be like what, like a thousand people there.
Yeah.
The biggest group I've ever spoken to.
The biggest group I've ever spoken to as well.
Never spoken to a thousand people in person.
It is fireside chat.
Because like one thing about me, you won't catch me doing it like a scripted speech.
Like absolutely not.
Like ask me a question, ask me a question, and I will answer it.
But like do not, like I could never give a speech.
Never.
I'm so bad at that.
And yeah, we're really, we're really excited about it.
Yeah, it'll be a good time.
I'm looking forward to it kind of.
I'm also really nervous, but I'm going to stay positive.
Well, and what's really exciting is I was like, I was like, oh, like we are,
like we are podcasters.
Like we forget that sometimes.
Well, I told Maddie about it and he's like, oh, are you guys going to be funny?
And I'm like, we can even think about the fact that we should probably spit some jokes out.
Oh, well, I'm normally pretty funny in my, in my speeches.
I've got like my go to, like I've got like my go to jokes.
Like, yeah.
Like I have my go to jokes for like how to start the car out.
Like, you know, I've got my zingers that I say in there.
Yeah.
So I don't have the zingers.
Well, it's time to get singing.
But I was just like, I was just like looking at the podcast charts because I'm like,
are we like podcasters?
Like if I think about like my career, it's like, where do I put like podcaster in it?
You know?
And then I was like checking the charts and like, so we're in the leisure category,
which I think is a fair category for us because we're not business.
And I really wouldn't consider us comedy.
Like I would not consider us comedy at all.
No, like I think we're the epitome of like what a leisure podcast is.
Like we're, this is for leisure, leisurely.
And, and the automotive category falls under leisure.
And thank you.
And automotive falls under leisure.
So like we're in the right category.
We're currently ranked number three on the leisure podcast.
And our episode is currently ranked number one.
What?
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
So first of all, I'm not sure how like the two don't correlate more.
Like why are we just number one of our episodes, number one?
Not sure.
But all else to say is like, thank you guys.
Thank you for listening.
Yeah.
And getting us on the charts because that's very exciting.
Can you see where we're at in auto?
Are we number one in auto?
Oh, let me see.
It takes me a minute to get there.
Okay.
Well, you pull that up.
You know, we still have one of the Duck Dynasty guys though.
He's holding number two steady.
So that's just still so crazy.
But we're coming for him.
And then the other one is like a, I don't even know what it is.
Like a fantasy podcast.
And I feel like they just have a lot of people listening.
But it is exciting to be number three.
We used to be like number seven.
So we're definitely climbing the charts.
And Elizabeth, sorry, it takes, sorry.
It takes like so, okay, wait, wait.
I found it leisure.
Okay.
Top shows.
Oh, we fell down.
Oh, that's because we haven't released a podcast.
I mean, I don't know, Kelly.
This is going to take me forever to find.
I can't find it.
Okay.
Don't stress.
But anyway, if you're going, okay.
Automotive.
And we are on our shows.
Oh, we're number two.
Who's number one?
Full-throttle talk is ahead of us.
We're number two.
We're number two.
That's so fun.
Do you guys know how fun that is?
To be like, and it's not a meal.
It's all of us.
Like we hold the number two on Apple Podcast.
We're the number two automotive podcast.
And we're a couple of moms talking about toy rotation.
So it might actually be a good idea
to get into the industry news segment of this episode.
For sure.
Because it actually is juice, juice, juice today.
And we are going to start with the breakiness of breaking news.
And that is a nasty recall from Toyota,
which I know you guys don't like to hear.
You Toyota stands.
But here's the thing about Toyota.
I'm sorry.
They're not, they're, they have a,
sometimes they get problematic recalls.
And people just like to forget.
And people just like to say it's only like
Hyundai and Kia who have these recalls, which is not true.
Toyota is not a stranger to recalls.
Remember when the Grand Highlander just like
couldn't be sold for like nine months
because of an airbag issue?
Listen to this one.
Toyota recalls certain model year 2025 Toyota Sienna models.
I don't know why model was in the headline twice.
This is big though.
Toyota is conducting a safety recall
involving certain model year 25 Sienna's
approximately 55,000 vehicles are involved in this,
are involved in this recall for the US.
The subject vehicles contain second row seats
that are mounted on a seat rails
that may have been improperly welded.
If these seats are occupied during
certain high speed collisions,
the seat may lose structural integrity
increasing the risk of an injury.
So again, that's, this is a recall on second row seats.
That's bad.
So now it says all known owners of the vehicles
will be notified to their, to return their vehicles
to a Toyota dealer.
The dealer will replace the second row seat rails
with rails that have proper welding free of charge.
So that came out in October, that was,
this came out October 7th.
But then this is what they sent to their owners.
Or this is what they sent to the dealers.
I got this from Intel
because one thing that means I've got Intel.
Okay.
Remedy.
This is like an internal thing from,
like I said, two dealers.
So it's on a stop sale.
So dealers aren't allowed to sell these 25 model year Sienna's.
Toyota, right now there's not a remedy available.
Toyota is currently preparing the remedy.
When the remedy is available,
Toyota dealers will have it.
It will probably be around like December at the earliest.
For now, they are saying,
Toyota recommends that customers of the vehicles
ensure that no one sits in the second row
or use a child restraint in any of the second row seats
while the vehicle is in motion, as described in this recall.
It is, if this recommendation is not feasible
for the customer's personal or business needs,
a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation
can be arranged through Toyota at a $42 per day per DM.
So if you have, so what you need to do is,
if you bought a 25 Sienna,
I'm getting mixed reviews on if it's some of them
or if it's all of them,
because some things I'm reading are saying it's all of them.
First step is you need to take your VIN number,
you need to go to Nitz's website and you need to type it in.
If you have this recall,
you need to stop letting anyone ride in the second row.
And I would not tell you to take it.
I would, if I thought there was more gray error,
I would tell you, but like that's not, that's not okay.
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
So it's not, I mean, it's not said that it never happens.
Like it's fine, but it doesn't-
No, I know, sure.
Like recalls happen all the time when we talk about this,
but this is a bad one.
And it's a bad one.
And it's bad that they don't have a,
doesn't sound like they have a remedy.
I think they do, they know what they need to do.
It's just like, like getting that infrastructure
set in place to do it.
So do they not, are they saying that they won't be able
to fix people's cars until December?
Oh yeah, I would say so.
I would say that's crazy.
I would say that's a realistic timeline,
because this original thing said that they weren't even
going to send out letters to everyone until December.
My issue with a recall like this is like,
when Toyota is telling you not to ride in the second row,
like why, I think it's crazy how many times I talk
about recalls like this and people telling me,
oh, if you wouldn't have told me I did, I wouldn't have known.
And then like, you buy a car seat on Amazon.
So like recently, I, you know, I bought a ton of car seats
on Amazon and whenever there's a recall,
Amazon borderline does too good of a job of letting people
know because then they send an email.
If you go to your recent orders, it says alert,
one of your items has been recalled.
And honestly, the recalls are nothing burgers.
Like they're not, they're, they're, they're nothing,
they're not nothing burgers, but Amazon's like,
hey, your seat might not be safe.
You need to check and like, whatever, it doesn't matter.
But Amazon's doing a better job telling me my car seat
is not safe than Toyota is, or that any of the manufacturers are.
Like how you, like it should be a text alert.
It should be a text alert at this case.
Like the vehicle is not, the second row is not safe.
It's a flipping minivan.
Yeah. For if, if you need to use the, what, what was the terminology?
Like if you need to use it for your daily drive, it's like,
why else would they buy a minivan
if not to use the second row daily?
So if you can move your kids to the third row,
like you can do that.
But if not, you need to contact your dealership
and you need to get a rental car.
That sucks.
Well, and see, that's always the number two automotive podcast though,
because full throttle is not bringing this.
I don't know. I've never listened to them. Maybe they are.
I'm not going to slap at them.
Um, wow.
Okay. Next story is just like something I didn't like really know existed,
which I don't know why I didn't know this existed,
but I also, I have finished the summer. I turned pretty.
And overall, it was fine.
Like I can't say I would recommend someone else watching it.
Like I, I'm not going to say I'm mad that I watched it,
but if someone was like, oh, what's a great show?
I would not say that, that show that would not come out of my lips.
I just felt like, I thought I just think it's like a good show.
I think it's well made. I think it's entertaining.
Like I liked it.
I think I found the characters really frustrating
and maybe, so maybe they're just not for me.
I also then was at the mall yesterday
for an unrelated reason.
And that's just like homecoming season.
And I'm telling you, there were so many moms
with little Jeremiah's and Conrad's like walking around
and I could just spot them.
Like I can't imagine, I can't imagine watching that show
as a mom of a teen and maybe they're not.
But like, oh my gosh.
No, I think that teens, I think it's like for teens.
The shows for teens.
Like, yeah, isn't it? I don't know.
I wouldn't allow my teen watch that show.
Like older teens.
I know. I don't, maybe I would. I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm trying to decide if I can like let my kids
watch PG movies right now.
Like it's just, I don't know.
Anyway, the back to industry news.
So did you know that Paris has an auto show?
No, but I guess that makes sense.
It totally makes sense.
The Paris auto show runs October 12th or the 18th
and promises an even stronger line of brands.
Among brands represented will be Tesla, BMW,
two French brands that I'm not really sure how to pronounce.
Ford and Kia.
I just got me thinking like maybe we should go to Paris
for the auto show.
I mean, I'm sure that like a lot of countries have auto shows.
Like we could just go.
It's giving right off.
Yeah.
It's giving business and travel.
It is giving business and travel.
So I'm not saying like we're in our Paris auto show era
at the moment.
No, but like I do think we could be one of these days.
I'm just saying like that's just a good thing
to keep in our back pockets.
No, for sure.
Let's go to the Paris.
Like what if we went to the Paris auto show?
It's just like what if.
What if.
And now that I feel like well, I think one really good thing
about AI is how much easier like translations are going to be
because did you see that there was this new like Apple update?
They have these Apple like the new AirPods
can like translate to different languages.
That's crazy.
I know.
So someone could be what like they have to call have a phone call though.
For in person conversations, when one person is wearing
the compatible AirPods, the other person can use the
translate app on the iPhone to show or speak the translation.
But if both people have the AirPods, it's a more seamless experience.
The translated speech can be played directly
into each person's ear privately with ambient sound briefly reduced.
That's crazy.
So I'm just saying like I do feel like because my biggest anxiety
about traveling to a different country is like that I can't speak the language.
Like that would just be really stressful in my opinion.
But I'm just saying like it's coming.
That's super interesting.
I wonder what that means for the translators.
AI might be coming for their job.
Might be.
Okay. Next story is the 10 best selling EVs of 2025 so far.
So that was interesting because now that the federal EV tax credit is gone,
but they saw huge sales recently in Q3 before that was going.
So I thought let's just go through the top 10 most sold EVs.
Number 10 Chevy Blazer, 20,000 units sold.
Number nine, Tesla Cyber Truck, 22,000 units sold.
That's crazy that there's 22,000 people who would buy that car.
I that's that's like my my 10 car garage.
I would I'd have a cyber truck.
Oh, it's such a it's not for me.
I don't know though.
I didn't hate it when it came.
I think the problem is it just became like almost too attainable.
You know what I mean?
Like it should be like a Lamborghini or like it should be like a Lamborghini.
Yeah, I get that.
There should be like 3,000 sold like 22 is like so like
regular.
Yeah, I get that.
I mean, we sold more cyber trucks than Chevy Blazers.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Number eight, Volkswagen ID for surprise me, 22,000 units sold.
Number seven, F-150 Lightning, 23,000 units sold.
Number six, Honda Prologue, which we actually like the prologue.
People don't know this about us, but we saw it at the New York Auto Show.
Fit three across.
Okay.
Check.
Yeah.
And it's a Honda, which people love.
Check.
Yeah.
And it looks good.
The only thing we don't like is like the font on the back looks weird.
Yeah.
Number five is the Hyundai Ionic 5 at 41,000 units sold.
Number four is the Ford Mustang Mach E, 41,000 units sold.
Number three is the Chevy Equinox EV at 52,000 units.
Good for Chevy.
Number two is the Tesla Model 3 at 130,000.
So the Equinox was number three at 52,000.
Yeah.
Number two is 130,000.
Are the top three all Teslas?
The top two are Teslas.
And the number one is the Tesla Model Y at 230,000 units sold.
Yeah.
So interesting.
Okay.
You know what that reminds me of just talking about EVs and dream garages?
The craziest thing, and this is just kind of like,
do you follow, oh, hey, Sam's Club?
No.
Okay.
Well, she's this influencer who like talks about what's being sold with Sam's Club.
Her house burnt down, which is the craziest thing.
Yeah.
Like I lost her entire house up in flames, knocking it down, living like in a temporary
housing, like had to have clothes donated to her.
Like they have, they lost everything.
Anyway, she just was like able to say what caused it because they have to like,
you know, police reports and fire, like whatever, it took a while.
Her son has a dirt bike that like plugs into the wall and it like spontaneously like sparked.
And then she has, you know, like propane and like a lot of flammable stuff in her garage,
as most people do.
And it caused her entire house to burn down.
Moment I saw that, I have like one of those little
like plug-in electric cars for my kids ran down and unplugged it.
So scary.
So anyway, just feels like a PSA has reminded me of like electrical stuff.
Yeah.
I think you're probably safe to plug your car back in.
No, no, no, I don't know.
It was like from Amazon.
It's like made in like China.
Like I'm not saying like, I don't think it's like a, you know, I'm not saying it's like an EV.
I'm just saying it's like, you know, yeah, it was just, yeah.
That is so scary.
So just like the craziest thing.
Like you don't realize that that happens, that people's houses just like burn down.
Totally.
So anyway, if you're interested, oh, hey, Sam's Club, she does make really good content.
Okay.
Well, that was industry news kind of all over the place.
Yeah.
Well, I think, I think we were doing pretty well and then I kind of derailed it there for a second.
But I'm going to bring it home because I have a very good ditch to the drive through that I'm
really excited about.
So now it's time for ditch to the drive through where we give you an easy dinner recipe to mix
it up to get you out of your dinner rut.
Dinner rut.
So I had, when I was living in my parents' house every day to work, I would come to my house
and I didn't have a kitchen.
I had, so I was just door dashing all the time, like keeping door dash afloat.
And something that I would, I would, I would door dash myself breakfast all the time.
My favorite thing to door dash was this like breakfast burrito is this steak breakfast burrito
with like peppers and a fabulous sauce and onions and eggs.
And it was just so good.
And I've been missing it, but I like, I can't, I have no reason to door dash it.
So we had some leftover steak the other night from dinner and I made myself freezer burritos,
which I've never done, but it was delicious.
And, you know, it was like upfront some work, but now I was able to just go heat one up.
So here's how I made it.
I took my leftover steak and I let the steak, like it had been like two or three days old where
like, okay, it's, we're not to the point where we're going to just like eat this for the third
day in a row.
So it's like, it's a very good, like get rid of your, your protein that like your family doesn't
want to keep eating leftovers of.
Um, so I put my peppers and onions in the pan and my steak and then I scrambled some eggs.
And then I laid out foil and then parchment paper.
And then I assembled the, just put them in a tortilla and like a burrito size tortilla,
a burrito tortilla is, you have to have a burrito tortilla size.
You have to have and see, it took me a long time to even know those existed.
Yeah, me too.
Like I can't, like the cart balance, like taco bur, or taco tortilla is not going to work.
Like you need a little bit of extra, because you want to roll it up.
And you do want to wait for the ins, like the filling to cool before you put it in the burrito,
because then if you put it in the freezer, can like create ice crystals or be soggy or whatever.
Yeah, I know I'm learning things.
So then I wrapped them up, put them in the freezer, unwrapped them entirely.
I probably didn't need to do the parchment paper too.
I'm kind of like learning as I go, could have maybe just done the foil, but
the parchment paper felt like another like nice defense against the freezer.
So I still kind of need to figure out my thawing process.
I do think if I want to have one the next day, I could stand to like put it in the fridge overnight.
So I'm not then like putting the microwave or the air fryer from frozen.
And I did have to do a little bit of trial and error on like a little bit in the microwave,
a little bit in the air fryer, and then we eventually got there.
I didn't put any sauce in it. I like added my sauce after the fact.
But it was excellent. And I quite literally ditched the drive-thru on this one.
I know it's breakfast, but sometimes breakfast I have the hardest time with.
I'm most inclined to just be like, oh, I'll just go get something from the coffee shop,
because I also want a coffee.
Totally. And like breakfast is cheaper at the end of the day.
So it feels like, oh, it's like fine. But then it's not because then you get a coffee and a
burrito and you're $15, $16, $17 into this thing.
Oh, for sure. So yeah. And it was delicious. And I'm like just so excited.
So I already have already so much leftover taco meat from the other night because I mean way too
much. And you know, I'm going to make burritos with that for Maddie with taco meat and eggs and
she's done.
He's going to love it.
He's going to love it.
Oh, I say I'm going to get around to doing that. I do agree. It feels so intimidating
because it's like you have to wrap it and then you somehow have to heat it up.
I'm going to work on it because I still have two left. So today was not a fail by any means.
Like I still got it there, but I just, I need a better, a better thawing process. So I'll keep
you posted.
Okay. That would be great. That would be great.
Um, okay. Well now it is time for Blake's besties where we share stories during the
month of October, which is infant and pregnancy loss awareness month.
And we are going to be reading stories from our followers who lost their babies too soon.
Okay. Um, this comes from Alicia in March, 2020, I got pregnant with our third baby at the time
we had a four year old boy and an 18 month girl. We were so excited to welcome one more baby to
our family throughout all the fear and uncertainty and summer of 2020. We had our own secret of joy
for Christmas. We were getting a new baby. However, at my 20 week anatomy scan, we learned that our
baby was not growing well. Ultimately he was diagnosed with the genetic condition the doctors
described as not compatible with life on September 11th at 28 weeks pregnant. We lost our baby boy
Teddy Michael. Every year we celebrate Teddy's birthday by making him a cake and singing to him
and his siblings blow out his candles and make a wish. Just over one year after we lost Teddy,
we welcomed our rainbow baby Teddy's little brother in October of 2021. Now our family truly
is complete with three children here with us and one angel watching over us. And then she shared
this quote that means so much to her. An angel opened the book of life wrote down my baby's
birth then whispered as she closed the book too beautiful for earth.
I think like I just like as I'm reading these and obviously I've never experienced it but like
you just like the loss of your child is so obviously horrible. And then it's also like
just all the talking and all the plans that you've made and like oh we're going to have a
Christmas baby and they're going to be this many months apart and it's going to be this and that
like you also just like have to mourn like the plans as well as their life and it's just
I know obviously really hard but okay this one comes from Ashley. Hi ladies I've been a carpool
listener from the beginning. Every October I look forward to hearing and remembering the babies
that were taken us from us far too soon. I found out I was pregnant and expecting my first baby on
February 27th. My husband and our families were so ecstatic. I craved sour candy and suckers. On
July 10th I unknowingly went into pre-term labor at home. The next day on July 11th our sweet boy
Wyatt was born sleeping at almost 23 weeks just station. He had huge hands and feet and apparently
my nose. It has been the most grueling and unfair last few months. His nursery was complete and I
already sent out my baby shower invitations. I had just started a brand new job three days earlier
that would allow me to be home more once he had arrived. Although he's not here with us on earth
I take comfort in knowing he's with Jesus and all the other babies whose parents are missing them on
earth. Thank you for discussing on the pod. Even though it isn't glamorous my heart is so full
knowing others are thinking of Wyatt. Thanks for all you do. Yeah it's like that's exactly what I'm
saying like the nursery the invitations like you make plans. Yeah it's a really it's um
and that's why I think it just has to just take so much time and so much and so much to process
and that's why it's like that's why it's like not fair and I'm not some people do this but like
when you're comparing it's like oh well you know I can only imagine some of the horrible things
some of these women have heard like well at least you weren't very far along or like at least you
already had like just like horrible things and like the points it's like you're also you have to
sit and mourn and process all the plan I mean we just we just have so many plans for our children
you know yeah um and it's gotta be like I I think it's gotta also be so hard to think
like when you know other kids who should be your kids yeah yeah you know like I'm like
thinking I you know it's like had he's got a big like fifth birthday coming up and like one of our
cousins lost her baby around the same time I was pregnant with howdy and howdy was born and like
her daughter should be fat yeah yeah you know and it's just like that's that's gotta be so
and like of course you're like so happy for like your family and your friends and their kids but
like it's just a reminder of like what your kids not and so I could see how I could just also see
how like it's the thing where it's like there's just going to be random events that are going to
come from Carly hi Kelly and Liz first of all I wanted to say how special it is that you take
time on your platform to honor these babies gone too soon I'm a mom of two myself and my first
positive pregnancy pregnancy test ever turned into an early loss that left a hole in my heart that
luckily my daughter and son helped to fill I am a labor and delivery nurse and while most people
think our jobs are fun and happy which it mostly is we have when we have a bad day it's a really
bad day I just wanted to write to give perspective from the nurse who hopefully
add some comfort to any of those who have gone through delivery of a baby born sleeping or too
soon we remember each and every one of you we remember your faces although maybe not your names
we remember your babies the photos we took the baths we gave the baptisms and name blessings we
are a part of the prayers we pray with you and the tears we cry together I will never forget this
I will never forget the silence of the room when I supported my first lost patient through her
delivery of her full-term sleeping baby the silence was broken by my tears and my patients tears
and I just held her while we cried lean on your nursing staff while you're in the hospital we want
to support you and while we might not feel prepared for any decisions you will have to make we will
do everything we can to make sure you go home with as many memories as possible and as much
pieces you can't we love you we support you we pray for you and it's honorable lifetime to care
for your family during this time oh my gosh I'm like almost done I think this is gonna hit me this
hard it's rare to witness a real angel earth side it's even better when we see you again for their
birthday party of it for the birthday party of your rainbow baby um
like I read I read these I read these before I read them out loud too I just think that like
I wanted to share that one because I wanted to share it from the perspective of an lnd
lnd nurse because like we do this segment during October and that's it like they do this all the
time yeah and like we're always trying to figure out the best way to like speak on this and we
don't always feel totally prepared like prepared to um just because it is like so heavy and so
important and whatever we don't want to say the wrong thing um so I just like wanted to
share that from yeah and I and I obviously this woman doesn't speak for all lnd nurses
but I'm gonna say she probably speaks for a lot of them yeah and like I hear like of course we
don't want to say the wrong thing but I also like would rather risk saying the wrong thing that
than not saying anything you know and that's why I also like that's why this has been like
such an interesting thing for Liz and I to navigate the last three this is the third year we've done
this I think so yeah I think so the last three years because I am uncomfortable with it and I
don't like that about myself if I'm being honest like I don't like I don't like that I don't know
how to like talk and support to so much of our audience about something like you know especially
when I was when when we were just in like our pregnancy and having baby stages like I don't
like how uncomfortable I was and like that's what that that's one of the reasons we wanted to do it
so yeah um I would also just say like I would give you guys all the challenge like if you do know
somebody who's going who has gone through this even it hasn't been yourself like don't be scared
I mean don't say something stupid but like don't be scared just like hey I'm thinking of you like
you know and again like I've never I I now do this with a lot of people I've never met a mom
who doesn't like that I say the baby's name yeah and I talk about them like in super super casually
and like I was just talking to Sam from mom and it was Carsey who works on our team a lot
and I was talking to her the other day about Kylie yeah and that's her daughter that she
lost and I say we were doing like three weeks apart her and Libby and like I will always feel
so connected to her and that baby because it was like I don't know and I'm not just going to like
pretend that it just I mean it didn't happen because it's an uncomfortable thing to talk about
and it's a sad thing to talk about yeah like she's just as much you know Sam's baby as Libby as your
eyes too many people are buying cyber trucks Elizabeth's making breakfast burritos

Original notes
Big changes in the Carpool today. Not only has the release schedule changed, but so has Lizz's hair! Which one is the bigger news? We're not sure, but Kelly does think Lizz can go shorter. Lizz only thinks it looks good with a hat on. In good news, Kelly is feeling like herself again and has gone full force in cultivating fall vibes. It's all about apple cider donuts, chili and football... in 81 degree weather... Plus, she's organizing the toys and feels really good about it.
Kelly and Lizz are headed on a road trip to speak at a women's conference and are the two podcasters to do so! Sounds about right when you have the #2 automotive podcast. Speaking of automotive, there is a lot of juicy Industry News. Toyota has a recall, the 10 best selling EVs of 2025 and apparently Paris has an auto show! Should that be the next Car Mom trip?
In Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is literally ditching the drive-thru now that she is back in her own home. She made steak freezer burritos and they are a winner!
Finally, it is time to celebrate the lives of the little ones gone too soon with Blake's Besties. Today, Kelly and Lizz share the stories of Teddy and Wyatt. Plus, a beautiful letter from a Labor and Delivery nurse.
