The conversation starts with marriage and relationship growth—how communication can change, why “a marriage is about how hard you work at that marriage,” and how social media can fuel toxic comparisons. It then pivots into AI and authenticity online, with the hosts arguing “The least authentic thing in the world is? Artificial intelligence.” Between that, they share family logistics, travel plans to Vegas, and a Bronco off-roading surprise. The episode also covers creator income, teen car safety picks under $20,000, and a few sponsor reads.

"It can read the transcript and then I can say, OK, pull out my three main points that I had on the Mazda CX 90. And like then I could make a real like I like all of that."
The Mazda CX-90 is a bigger SUV made by Mazda. The podcast is talking about it in terms of main points, like what stands out to the speakers. That usually means it’s being considered for everyday use and family needs.

"So I'm surprising Tyler with a Bronco off-roading experience.
[858.0s] This is actually really cool.
[864.3s] So they have like five locations all around the country"
An off-roading experience is when you drive a vehicle on dirt trails or rough terrain with some guidance. It’s meant to show how the car handles things like bumps and mud, not just normal streets.
An off-roading experience is a guided or structured activity where drivers take a vehicle on trails or obstacle courses to learn how it behaves off pavement. It’s different from a normal test drive because the vehicle is used in the conditions it was designed for, like mud and uneven ground.
"...n't said anything. So I'm surprising Tyler with a Bronco off-roading experience. This is actually really c..."
The Ford Bronco is an SUV made for driving on rough roads and trails. It’s built to handle off-road conditions better than a typical family car. That’s why it’s a good choice for an off-roading experience.
The Ford Bronco is a rugged SUV built for off-road driving, which is why it often comes up in experiences like an off-roading day. It’s significant because it’s designed to handle rough terrain and trails, not just everyday commuting. That makes it a natural topic when someone surprises a friend with an off-road adventure.
"Nissan is doing a family of these new body on frame SUVs or vehicles. So they're going to have five models on this new body on frame platform, the XTERRA SUV..."
Body-on-frame means the car’s outer body sits on a separate metal frame underneath. Trucks and off-road SUVs use this because it’s strong and can handle rough use better than some unibody designs.
“Body-on-frame” is a construction method where the vehicle’s body is mounted on a separate ladder-like frame. It’s common on trucks and off-road SUVs because it can handle heavier loads and rough terrain, and it’s often easier to build multiple vehicle types on the same underlying platform.
"All will be compatible with the same V6 and V6 power, hybrid power trains."
A hybrid powertrain means the car uses both a gas engine and an electric motor. They’re saying their new platform can be built with either a V6 or a hybrid version.
A hybrid powertrain combines an internal-combustion engine with an electric motor and battery system to move the vehicle. The “powertrain” part is important here because Nissan is claiming its new body-on-frame platform will support both V6 and hybrid setups across multiple models.

"Wasn't it XTERRA? It used to be a third row or was it always just been a two row?"

"And I guess the point of debuting a concept is it's like to get the vibes before you move forward. I guess that is true. Like a pulse check."

A “concept car” is a show vehicle that previews design ideas and technology that may or may not reach production. The hosts describe “debuting a concept” as a way to gauge reaction—like a “pulse check”—before committing to a real, sellable model.
"But or a midsize car really does anything like over 3000 pounds.
I think is like really important."

“Midsize car” is a vehicle-size category typically larger than a compact and smaller than a full-size sedan. It’s commonly used in the US to group cars with similar interior space, curb weight, and pricing—so safety and crash-test results are often compared within the same class.
"And this is so helpful because they give you under twenty
and it also had a good rating by the IHS.
OK."
IHS is a company that helps evaluate cars, including safety information. Here, the host is saying the car they’re recommending also scored well in those safety evaluations.

The Ford Ranger is a pickup truck that’s not as big as some trucks. The speaker is listing it as another possible option for a teen who might get a small truck.

Welcome to the Carpool podcast with Kelly.
Like he's been dribbling up and down our hill,
like he's dribbling, dribbling, dribbling.
We don't have a basketball hoop.
He currently just tries to throw the basketball
and hit the branch of the tree in our yard.
And Liz.
After we, like, ripped on vibration plates
and then you just need to go, like, jump in a circle,
we then got an offer to do an ad for vibration plates
on the podcast.
Your mom time off starts now.
Welcome back to the Carpool podcast with Kelly.
And Liz.
And this is your last Friday episode for a while.
Yeah.
It pains me more than it probably pains you.
I love the podcast.
Me too.
But we have to make the most out of this weather
and we have to just be batching all outdoor car
content as possible.
Not because of the weather, but because we've
got a deadline as well of a baby.
Although Tyler's been doing a great job at filming your tours.
I know.
He is very, it's very interesting.
He's a lot more coachable than he ever has been.
There was years where like you couldn't tell him anything
and now he's just like so he's softened.
Do you think he's softened or the way you ask things
has changed?
Have you learned how to approach him?
No, I think he has softened.
I think I've learned other things on how to be married
to somebody like I've made major improvements.
Sure.
I think we can always be improving.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
You can always be improving and I like to always be improving.
I really are.
We are in like we are in a real like we've just we've grown a lot
and we've grown a lot together, which has been fun.
But like the reasons I love him now, this is like so annoying
that it's turned into like a Tyler Love podcast.
But the reasons I love him now are not the reasons I loved him
when I got married to him.
Do you know what I mean?
Totally.
And you just unfortunately like you just don't know when you get married
like what's important to you and what you like the life
experiences you've had just like it's you do choose the right person.
But there is a level of it that does kind of feel like luck.
Like, you know, those reels that are like when you're when you're postpartum,
it will matter who you married.
And you're like, yeah, I like wasn't considering, you know, having to have
someone like change a pad for me like when I was getting married.
Like that wasn't top of mind.
Well, in kind of like a hot take that I have is I don't believe in soulmates
or I don't believe that like I actually think this and this is crazy to say,
but I actually think I could have a successful marriage
with a lot of people in this world.
But like I chose Tyler Tyler chose me, but I do think it's about I think
a marriage is about how hard you work at that marriage.
Not always about love, obviously.
Totally.
You know.
Now, I'm like randomly on like the marriage side of Instagram right now.
Like I like watched one reel too long and now I'm getting fed like.
Yeah.
Ways to improve.
OK, go ahead.
Your marriage.
And no, I'm just like I'm really liking it.
Like I have a wonderful marriage and Maddie and I have a great relationship.
But because it's the most important relationship in my life, I'm like,
yeah, what what are the people saying?
Like how can I improve?
Like how can I better?
Like I don't want to get stuck in a in a rut where I just feel like
well, we're in, you know, we're married and we're in love.
And like I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
Like no, like how can I approach things differently or do things
differently or respect him differently and will that?
Like I'm just I'm having fun challenging myself in my marriage
and trying just to like love and respect Maddie and new in different ways.
And I'm like taking my marriage really seriously.
That's so good to hear.
I think it's important to take your marriage seriously.
And you know what is very interesting about marriage?
And I was talking to a friend about this and we were just because I'm not,
you know, you always hear the advice like don't talk bad about your husband
or other people, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But I do think sometimes it is OK to talk about how hard it is to be married
sometimes, because there's so much support for your hard mom days.
And like if I hear a mom complain about her hard mom day,
I never once for a second think she doesn't love her children.
So like or she's a bad mom or she's I don't know.
But like there is a level of, you know, sometimes when you hear
someone complain about their husband, you know, I'm using this all lightly.
Complained about also the marriage, because the marriage is a hard thing to do.
You're really like, oh, they're headed for the war.
It's just like that's so true.
That's such a jump.
And I just I would like to see more support for.
That marriage is hard sometimes.
Yeah, totally. You know what I mean?
So I just want you guys to know my marriage is hard sometimes,
as is probably all of yours.
But it is up with you.
It is wonderful.
I actually I at one point ended up on like the overly marriage side of
TikTok and or Instagram or TikTok and I actually didn't like where I was
because then it was all this like comparisons when it was like
people saying, you know, here's what my husband does.
Or like, here's how to be like a godly husband or blah, blah, blah.
And then I would just compare the things that I wasn't doing or Tyler wasn't doing.
And I didn't always love that.
But those were just a couple of toxic reels that I saw, I guess.
Yeah, no, I don't know how I've kind of ended up on just like the perfect
curated side of just like.
Good for you.
You know, not trying to just do everything like I'm very much like
just trying to do everything all the time and like not ask for help.
And it's like maybe if I did ask for help or give things to
or like give up control of things, then I would be happier and my husband would
be happier and my husband would, you know, like every everything is better.
And I'm just like, I don't know, it's just been it's been really nice.
And I'm just excited.
I'm just having fun with like taking my marriage in a very like serious way.
So that's like something that I'm doing.
You know, one piece of content that I hate, hmm.
It's when it's like a trend and it's these women being like
me on a Tuesday at home goes because I married a provider.
It's like I didn't marry a loser.
Like what an unhappy mean.
You're a mean girl.
You're a mean, mean, you're a bully.
Yeah, like like that's just such and there's a way you could say
so thankful that I'm able to do this.
Like you should say that instead of like it's some girl's fault
because her husband because there are two income household like you're insane.
It's very mean. It's very unhinged.
It's like and you're right.
Like it's it's it's look at me.
I'm better than you.
It's look at me.
And it's not it's just like it's I saw this one the other day that was like,
hey, if you're if you have to have an income,
if you have a two income household, that doesn't mean your husband's a loser.
I'm like, I can't believe someone literally had to make an Instagram to post that.
But I knew exactly what why she posted it. Yeah.
Yeah, that's really mean girl.
And if you ever made that, like that's fine.
And I don't think you're a mean person.
But I think that was mean.
And I think you should probably delete it.
I think you should just like maybe like you could just like rephrase it.
You can rephrase it and like there is there is something beautiful.
And I mean, it's beautiful when moms can stay home and when the husband provides
like that is that is beautiful.
But I like the ones that are like, you're so lucky, you're going to stay home.
And then it's like the luck and it's like him working so hard or yeah, I'm good with those.
There's like not like direct attacks on other people's lives or other people's husband.
It's not like calling someone else's husband a loser because you work too.
Like that's so crazy.
I know touch grass.
Yeah.
OK, what other big topics can we cover?
We covered marriage.
I have some new thoughts on AI if anyone's interested in hearing.
OK, sure.
I think I like a lot of things about AI and I'm just not going to be.
I just refuse to not be optimistic about the world because I have four children in it.
So I just refuse to ever be like so cynical about where the world's going.
So I'm going to keep this like surface level.
But I do think social media is going to go through a really.
I think people are going to get over it in a major way because I'm now being served
all these like ways I can use social media for the car mom better.
And these people literally want me to like scan my face and then I can record
content with no makeup and their AI will put their AI generator will put makeup
on me and put clothes on me.
And I'm just like.
How did we?
People aren't going to like that.
And I people are going to get over that so fast.
They're going to get over it so fast.
If you want to know how one of the ways to be successful in social media,
it's to be authentic.
You know what the least authentic thing in the world is?
Artificial intelligence.
Any time I see a real I can immediately clock it when it's like some new
AI creator, I roll my eyes, I click on their profile and I'm like,
you people have this, you have this and people following you.
Or I'll read the comments and the comments can't tell its AI.
And I'm like, everyone is so dumb.
Like, wake up.
You can always tell.
You can always tell.
And if you can't tell, you need to figure it out.
No, I have no patience for it.
I have I will have no interest in ever following an AI creator.
Because why would I?
Or even creators who like use AI overly, too much.
I'm telling you, I actually think it's going to be good for our business
because we've always stood out for being authentic.
And now we're just going to like rise the top even more.
I'm good with AI as a tool, like interior designers.
I want to see your AI.
I want to see your AI renderings.
If like that girl who made those outfits for you, she like clearly
she used AI.
That was that was a good visual.
Like as a tool and as a visual, not as a whole dang thing.
I'm not like I have no.
You know, I like using it for like it's been so helpful for us
so I can upload one of my YouTube videos.
It can read the transcript and then I can say, OK, pull out my three main points
that I had on the Mazda CX 90.
And like then I could make a real like I like all of that.
I just think once it starts.
We're releasing a human.
It gets like a little.
Yeah, I don't I mean, I have no.
Sorry, my word is dumb.
This is dumb.
It's not. This is dumb.
And also it's like who's behind it?
Like some guy on a computer screen is like behind this
like gorgeous Instagram model.
Like it's not real.
It's dumb and I don't like it.
So I I agree with you.
I'm good with it as a tool and I think that I would like to give more credit
to people of just like being smarter and like not falling for it
and just like not letting it take over.
Yeah. So.
What do I know?
Well, we know a lot and it was so funny because the other day I called
Liz and I'm like, hey, what's our YouTube blog?
And I'm going to try this new AI tool to do video editing.
And it actually was the thing was it was pretty cool.
But it just like was so it just was so AI.
Do you know what I mean?
It's just AI.
AI, it's going to the thing with social media, people don't understand is
like it's to the point where I think views are like one of my lowest metrics.
Like I don't give a rip about how many followers you have or how many views you have.
I literally care about what kind of community you have.
And we have always prioritized our community.
And that's sorry, if you want to talk business, that's where the money is that you have to have.
They're not these platforms aren't paying what they used to for views.
They're just not. We used to like do way better on YouTube.
I used to be making so much money a month on my Instagram reels.
Now I'm literally make like two or 300 dollars a month on my Instagram reels.
And I was making thousands at one point.
Yeah. So like that's and I'm not getting less views.
They're just like over the they're just prioritizing less and less.
I think because more creators now are people that ever are making this content.
But it's all about your community.
Agreed. Luckily, we're out there.
No, and like we really do.
And people don't talk about that enough.
Well, we talk about it a lot.
But group is like such as like I love that place.
It's a safe place.
I can't believe for being like a car reviewer channel, how amazing our community is.
I know. It's like so random.
And people like stay around it.
It's just like I'm so grateful.
And I just I'm just really proud of what we've built.
And when I say we, I mean all of us because the compliments,
like I love when I get invited to an event and like a major manufacturer will come to me.
And like they're not complimenting me.
They're complimenting all of you because they know that we are all
engaged and in tune and like we are all expecting certain things.
It's like really interesting that we're kind of like a force.
Well, and like I like still talk to my sleep trainer.
People ask me her name all the time.
It's Marley, Molly, Tartel, Tartelogia.
I can never say her name.
I'm sorry, Molly.
Anyway, so I send her her name to people all the time in my DMs
and she will tell me like the people who you refer told me that they found you through.
You are the nicest people to work with.
And I'm like, what a compliment.
I it's like I hear that all the time too.
And it's like I'm as proud as like someone complimented my children.
I'm like, yeah, no, they're great.
Like I don't even know who it is.
No, yeah, Jen, she's great.
I know, I don't even need to know much about her.
Yeah, so just so thankful for all of you.
OK, so tomorrow, a.k.a.
So interesting because the time this podcast comes out, I will already be back.
But I'm going to Vegas for less than 24 hours for 24 hours.
That's so crazy.
I know I kind of we were going to stay two nights, but
it's just too much with the auto show coming out.
And so I am going on.
I guess I can talk about it because he will.
I've already known by the time and he doesn't listen to the podcast.
You kind of talked about it on the podcast already.
OK, did I? Yeah.
OK, well, he hasn't said anything.
So I'm surprising Tyler with a Bronco off-roading experience.
This is actually really cool.
So for me, like, do you want to come on this Bronco off-roading thing?
I'm like, what is this?
So they have like five locations all around the country
and you literally just go for a day or a half day experience.
So if you're a Bronco owner, I think it might be included in your Bronco purchase.
I don't know, though.
But even if you're not, you can just pay to do like this half day pass
and you drive a Bronco like it's intended to be driven like off-roading.
Like I have to wear long pants and hiking boots.
They said, we'll get muddy, like, cool.
And I was like, Tyler is going to love this.
Like, this is so going to be so fun for him.
And I kind of wanted to like, I don't know, he always surprised me.
I never surprised him.
So I told him that I have a speaking engagement in Vegas
and like, Liz can't go.
So like, I need him to go with me.
And he's like excited because, you know, it's a day away from the kids
and we get to go to Vegas for 24 hours.
But he thinks we're just going to like go to a stuffy panel.
He's going to hear to speech. He's heard a hundred times for me.
And I'm trying to figure out when to tell him.
OK, first of all, before you go any further,
can I just like tell you I need to write this down right now?
Bring your freaking glasses, your AI glass or your.
Oh, that's no glasses.
So you can film this stuff.
Bring that a glasses.
I'm going to write that down because that would be fun for him to wear.
I assume he's going to be doing the driving or for you as the passenger
to like get his reactions and stuff.
Yeah, I have it's so funny.
I don't have a huge desire to drive.
I have a huge because I will be anxious about it.
But I if Tyler's driving, I will trust Tyler wholeheartedly
and I will just have fun.
Yeah, I think you should let Tyler drive for sure.
Pastor Princess it.
Totally. And I got to fill someone's got to make the content.
But anyway, I feel like this would be such a fun.
I mean, I haven't done it yet, so I'll give my full recap.
But I feel like this would be such a fun couples trip.
Like Kate from Kitchen was just talking about the importance
of making core memories with your husband.
So it's like such a marriage podcast today.
I know this is just a marriage podcast.
But yeah, so I hope we make like a real core memory.
No, I love that.
And then after that, so it's like a four hour thing.
We come back from the base camp.
We go back to our hotel and I made a matinee,
made us a dinner reservation at a sushi restaurant.
Tyler loves sushi.
Tyler loves sushi.
And I actually haven't had sushi since my last reaction
and like a formal capacity.
But I have had tuna and salmon and and sushi actually one time.
So I know I'm fine and I'm feeling comfortable enough to indulge.
A nice sushi restaurant in Vegas.
That's going to be a hefty bill.
I've seen how much sushi your sushi, your husband can put down.
I know Tyler's more of like a $12 all you can eat.
I know, maybe I'll have some chopsticks.
You know what I mean?
I'd bring him a snack.
I'm definitely going to have to bring him like just some.
It's like this is like to taste and enjoy like you can't get full
or like order a side of rice.
You know what I mean?
I get like a tear.
They like do they have a teriyaki chicken?
Sure, probably.
Yeah, you're right. No, he cannot.
Tyler cannot.
We'll bankroll us if he just tries to fill up on sushi.
That's what I'm saying.
I've seen it's shocking.
What Kelly and I can split because Kelly and I would always split.
When we would get sushi, like Tyler would eat that entire thing.
And then our leftovers that we did.
I know when we used to get sushi a lot, he'd sit down and be like,
sort of like six or seven rolls.
I'm like, Tyler, there's two.
And he will put it down.
No, it's shocking.
He's so shocking.
Well, that'll be so fun.
I'm excited for you guys.
And then you get back and it's auto show week, which is so exciting.
I am a little less stressed than I was on the previous podcast.
And I'm more just excited at the moment.
Me too.
OK, good.
That's where I'm at as well.
So yeah, it's like we've made progress on that.
Yeah.
