The ladies are in full prep mode getting everything ready for the big weekend. There will be SO much to see and do at the show and it's not too late to get your tickets. CLICK HERE to get yours! \n\nIt's been a whirlwind week for Kelly. It all started in Washington D.C. to visit the IIHS headquarters and witness a crash test in real life. She learned so much and had some great conversations with Mazda. Did you know they are the safest cars on the market? Then it was off to brother Craig's engagement party. It was derby themed and the entire family showed up. Let's just say Kris knows how to throw a party! \n\nUpdates on the podcast for the summer are here, and it's a good news/bad news situation. The bad news? They'll go down to one episode a week. The good news? Side Hustle Summer is BACK! If you've got a side hustle feel free to reach out to Kelly or Lizz. But the biggest podcast update: Has Kelly finished the book she was supposed to read for the podcast book club? The answer will probably not surprise you... \n\nKelly's lack of reading could be because she is fully immersing herself in summer with the family. It might not feel like summer yet, but she's not delaying the summer joy. She bought the watermelon. They started the tie-dyeing. Summer starts NOW! She reveals her family's daily summer schedule on today's podcast. Plus, an easy summer dinner in Ditch the Drive Thru reminds you to unleash the power of the Hawaiian roll sliders. "},"annotations":[{"startTime":852.9,"endTime":860.0,"type":"term","title":"crumple zones","url":"/glossary/crumple-zones","quote":"And it's like, right, because that was before crumple zones existed.

By collapsing in a controlled way, they help absorb impact energy and reduce the forces reaching the passenger compartment.","simplifiedExplanation":"Crumple zones are parts of the car that are designed to fold up in a crash. That controlled “give” helps protect the people inside by taking the hit instead of the cabin."}},{"startTime":855.7,"endTime":869.8,"type":"concept","title":"absorbing the impact","url":"/glossary/absorbing-the-impact","quote":"The more crashed, I'm not take this with a grain of salt, but like it's almost like the more crashed a car looks, the better job it did absorbing the impact and protecting the passengers on the inside.","canonicalId":"concept:absorbing-the-impact","priority":0.7,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"In crash safety, “absorbing the impact” refers to how a vehicle manages crash energy. Modern designs use controlled deformation (like crumple zones) so the energy is dissipated rather than transmitted directly to occupants.","simplifiedExplanation":"In a crash, the car has to deal with a lot of energy. Safety design helps spread and reduce that energy so it doesn’t slam into the people inside as hard."}},{"startTime":895.8,"endTime":903.1,"type":"term","title":"rollover crash test","url":"/glossary/rollover-crash-test","quote":"I think the craziest thing I saw was their rollover crash test, which so like basically there's federal standards.","canonicalId":"term:rollover-crash-test","priority":0.75,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"A rollover crash test evaluates how well a vehicle protects occupants if it tips onto its side or roof. These tests look at roof strength, occupant space, and how the vehicle’s structure holds up during the roll.","simplifiedExplanation":"A rollover crash test checks how safe a car is if it flips onto its side or roof. It’s mainly about whether the roof and cabin stay strong enough to protect people."}},{"startTime":895.8,"endTime":906.34,"type":"term","title":"federal standards","url":"/glossary/federal-standards","quote":"I think the craziest thing I saw was their rollover crash test, which so like basically there's federal standards.

The speaker suggests that these baseline rules may not be as demanding as the independent testing organization’s criteria.","simplifiedExplanation":"Federal standards are the safety rules the government requires cars to meet. The point here is that the speaker thinks some cars can pass the minimum rules but still not be as well-protected as better-tested designs."}},{"startTime":908.4,"endTime":920.0,"type":"term","title":"rollover standards","url":"/glossary/rollover-standards","quote":"And from 2009 to 2022, the rollover crashing that the government mandated was like lame.\n[913.7s] Like it was one and a half times the car's weight they had to pass to, to meet, to meet the rollover standards.","canonicalId":"term:rollover-standards","priority":0.75,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"Rollover standards are government safety requirements that define how vehicles must be tested and evaluated for their tendency to roll over in crashes.
