Welcome to the Carpool podcast with Kelly.
They are 100% worth the hype.
They are, I will say one more time, the best toys ever made.
Period.
And Liz.
It's when you have a newborn and you have a toddler
and you need to feed the newborn
and so you gotta just like put the toddler down somewhere
so they're not jumping off a table.
Your mom time off starts now.
Welcome back to the Carpool podcast with Kelly.
And Liz.
Happy Wednesday everybody.
Happy Wednesday.
How are you doing today, Cal?
You know, Liz, I'm doing good.
Fred Fred had his first day of preschool.
Oh.
Just a half day, just popped in, popped out.
A little 8 to 11, 30 kind of moment.
They just start like random, like February?
Well, he turned three and then he could go.
That's kind of how the place works.
Like he had to be three.
And it's like the same school that George and had to go to.
So it's just like he gets dropped off with them
and then we go pick him up, you know, at like 11.
But he's just so cute.
When I picked him up, he kept being like,
I'm so proud of you because like I always tell him
I'm so proud of you.
So we got in the car and he goes, I'm so proud of you.
I went to school.
I was like, oh, no, Fred is like,
he's just like the sweetest, most like tender kid.
Yeah.
And it's always like the repeating of things
that just like gets me.
One time James and Fred were playing
and James like hit Fred or something.
And I was like, James, say sorry, Fred.
Say sorry, Fred.
And Fred goes, sorry.
And I'm like, Fred, not you.
He's just like so sweet.
So sweet.
Oh gosh.
Yeah.
That kid, he's something special that third born.
He's just, I mean, I also just love his age.
Like I'm obsessed with three and four year olds.
Like I just think they're so fun and he is so much fun.
So that's what we've been up to.
Tomorrow I'm jet setting without you.
Can you look at me?
Like you're looking really distracted right now.
Sorry.
I just think it's crazy that I just asked what you were up to
and how your weekend was.
And then you didn't ask me.
You just said so anyway.
That's what we're up to.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
What are you up to?
Well, did you see my tongue?
Yeah, you're like orange.
You're a candy addict.
I'm a candy addict.
Maddie had to go and pick me up.
Sour candy last night after the kids went to bed.
Sour candy comes with consequences.
No, these sour Skittles wins last time you've had sour Skittles.
Well, pretty recently.
Oh, and I know the feeling you're going through.
It's like the sandpaper tongue.
Yeah, the sandpaper tongue, but like I can't stop.
Someone did send me a hack though on Instagram.
They said if you get the, what are they like freeze dried?
The freeze dried sour Skittles.
They don't hurt your tongue.
This is like such a unit.
I didn't even complain on my stories that it was hurting my tongue.
It's just such a universal feeling that everyone goes through.
She's like, trust me, you got to get the air fried one.
I've never had freeze dried anything.
Freeze dried fruit.
Okay, I've had that.
But like the freeze dried candy or like the popped candy,
like for a while there.
Anytime you went somewhere, they were selling freeze dried Jolly Ranchers,
freeze dried Skittles, like everything was freeze dried.
I feel like I don't love that texture.
It's a little chalky now.
Yeah, you know, I don't love the texture.
I also don't always love the packaging.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Always looks a little, little like a DIY project.
Well, and I think it is, but it's like, I don't know your kitchen.
I don't know your freeze dried area.
Right.
I don't know your process.
I totally agree.
So yeah, you're craving sour.
Well, and sour supposed to help with nausea.
So I wonder if like, since this is like your most nauseous pregnancy,
if that's, if there's any correlation.
I think there must be.
James, I craved sweet and like, gosh, a first pregnancy is so wasted on
like a child, someone without kids.
Like with James, all I craved was like cookies.
And it was like, oh, let me just make some chocolate chip cookies after
I take my afternoon nap and then I'll feel better.
And now I'm like, literally kids are crawling all over me,
like kicking me and I just like want to lay down and fall asleep
and throw up all at the same time.
And I'm going to say this and this is not for first time parents.
So if you're a first time parent listening, like I don't want to offend you
and like kindly just skip ahead because I'm not trying to be a just wait person.
But I find first time parents so adorable.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Like they are, they're like little freshmen coming into high school
and like you're, you're, you're a senior.
And it's, they're so adorable to me and they're so full of life
and hope and optimism.
And it's not that I'm not, I'm also full of those things,
but I am so, so, so much more realistic.
And I've just been served a lot of like first time parent content.
And like, I just like love hearing like what they're doing
with their one seven month old and how like they're changing the world.
No, my favorite was like, I saw adorable.
No, it's adorable.
I saw this girl and she was like,
it was something along the lines of like how everything she's doing
to avoid screen time.
And she had one of those like suction spinners on her head
and I'm like, those like suction spinner things for like windows or something.
That's for like a baby.
Like no toddler is like really playing with those sucks.
Like that's a young toy.
Like she had all these young toys.
Anyway, I click on her profile to use a six month old.
And I'm like, girl, the screen time for a six month old is not hard to avoid.
It's when you have a newborn and you have a toddler and you need to feed the newborn.
And so you got to just like put the toddler down somewhere.
So they're not jumping off a table.
That's when you turn on Miss Rachel.
You don't do it when they're a potato at six months old.
Well, and I just think like they're all creating content for each other.
And I think there's something adorable in that like in their own little like, you know,
because it's like in because they need.
That's it.
It's precious is what it is.
It is.
It is.
And it's and it's precious and we and literally we were all them.
No, 100%.
But then I just think like it is okay to like look for advice and look for content from
people with experience.
Like right now I'm bare and I like, I feel like I'm barely relating to people who have
kids of my age because I'm like, like I like to see the moms of teens.
Like what did you do to survive?
How are your teens working out?
Like that's who I'm like itching to create more.
Like that's the content that I want to consume right now.
How are you doing?
Like what are you?
What does your day look like?
Because that's I want to live my life knowing that there is a world where like I can easily
get a workout in.
Totally.
And I can make dinner undisturbed and like I can like that is what I'm aspiring for.
Like I know we're all struggling.
We're all drowning like it's all hard.
I agree with you.
Sometimes I need to see that like same validation to know that I'm not alone in it and that what
I'm going through is normal.
But sometimes I do just need to also see the older, the moms of teens, the moms who have
been through it.
Yeah.
Maddie and I always say because Maddie and his, Maddie's older sister, she has three kids,
the youngest is six, the oldest is like 10 and they are like doing half marathons all
the time.
They're huge runners.
They're in great shape.
They have had such a glow up even in the last six years and Maddie and I always remind
ourselves like they asked us to do the 75 part with them in 2022 when we were like getting
married and they started that journey for themselves when their youngest was two.
And I'm like, okay, they were going through what we were going through and they didn't
get to that point until their youngest was two.
And now look at them.
They're thriving.
They're healthy.
Like we're just really in the trenches and our time will come.
Our time will come.
And I will say like I'm definitely, I'm finding something like really beautiful about this
current phase of my life that I'm in because I do have like, he's going to be seven in
a couple months.
A seven, almost a six year old, a five year old, a three year old and an 18 month old.
And I do feel like I'm kind of in the glory years right now because like what I really
love about my four children right now is I can fix any single one of their issues with
a snuggle and if desperate measures a ring pop and like problems are solved like a chocolate
milk and a snuggle done anyone.
It works for all four of them.
Like they all, I can fix all their problems the same way.
I cannot physically imagine the gut retching pain I'm going to feel when someone's mean
to them, when they're going through something at school and like a snuggle and a chocolate
milk doesn't do it that like that level of helplessness, I'm telling you it is going
to gut me.
Yeah.
So I am relishing in the days when I can still fix all of their problems with a snuggle
and a chocolate milk.
That's like beautifully said.
No, I'm sick to my stomach over it and I know it's going to be haddy first like because
a George is like a George is just very interesting.
He's fine.
I shouldn't say that.
I don't know that for sure, but just like, you know, and I'm telling you, it's quicker
than you think.
I think girls get, I think like kids get mean as early as like the first or second grade.
It's disgusting.
No, it is.
I'm really hoping like me and chat CPT like I really am going to be leaning on chat and
like some other parents because like, or I might genuinely read my first, I've never
read a parenting book.
I might read my first parenting book like for these grade school years because it's
just like the level of responses.
And I'm telling you, watching the parent trap with haddy really opened my eyes to how
unprepared I was to have so many of these real world conversations.
We did finish the parent trap, by the way, and I will like kind of give a disclaimer
where I don't have the same justice for Meredith Blake as I thought in the first half
of the movie because she does become pretty insufferable.
OK, but I stand by the fact that those girls, I also just, I don't like seeing people
like get I hate pranks.
Like it's kind of why I've always struggled with the movie Home Alone because I know
those were bad guys, but I hate pranks.
I hate seeing people like in pranks.
And it's so funny because haddy was so the same way because in the parent trap during
like the cabin scene when Halle was like pranking Ali's bunk and there was like the
shaving cream and the feathers, haddy was like, why are those girls being so mean?
This is so mean.
And I was like, it is mean.
But anyway, Meredith Blake kind of sucks.
All I was to say is, though, like there was so many interesting things that came up
because haddy was like, is that a bad guy talking about Meredith Blake?
And I'm like, yes.
And she goes, well, why does the dad like a bad guy?
And I'm like, well, the dad doesn't know he's a bad guy.
And then she goes, so that's the dad's girlfriend.
And I said, yes.
And she goes, does daddy have a girlfriend?
Tyler, I was like, no, no, because daddy's married to mommy.
It was just a lot.
And that was like, that was such a.
It was just so interesting because she's asking why are girls being mean?
Like, why don't their parents live together?
Why were those kids separated?
And it was like all these questions.
And I kind of realized how I won't even call it sheltered
because I think a lot of I think that movie is not really age appropriate
for a five year old hindsight, because there's so many dramatic themes in it.
But it just made me realize like, what is my response going to be
when so and so gets left out when Hattie doesn't get invited,
when George, when some kid hurts George's feelings.
And I just got to be, I'm not prepared for that in the same way
that mothers of six months old are prepared for how they're not going
to share screen time with their kids.
Yeah. Well, I am so and I think a lot of people listening are so thankful
that you might be going through it before us because.
You're going to have you're going to have such a good perspective at the end of it.
And you're fast, you're quick on your feet.
Like your kids are going to bring you a problem
and you're just going to know exactly what to say, exactly how to handle it.
And that's how you were.
Like when you were in grade school, Kelly was I like to think we both were.
But I like vividly remember Kelly, like she was always the nice girl.
So it's like if someone got bullied and then she was sitting,
that girl was sitting on a table alone at lunch.
Kelly wouldn't sat next to that girl.
Like you just had a very strong moral compass.
Yeah, I did have a strong moral compass.
I think that that's like the best.
I think like a strong moral compass and confidence are like the two best things
we can try and instill in our children.
Yeah, because you have to have the moral compass to know that it's not OK.
That person is sitting by themselves and then also have the confidence to say,
I, I don't align with this.
I'm fine. You can bully me if you're whatever you want to do.
I'm going to go stand out.
I'm going to go sit with that girl.
So I don't really know how we instill those things in them,
but that is like my goal.
And that's what I pray for every night.
I agree.
I was also having a conversation with a friend recently and we were doing like a
it was like a would you rather kind of conversation?
It was, you know, would you rather have your kid be bullied or be the bully?
Yeah. What do you what would you say?
Oh, I would never want my child to be a bully.
I disagree. I would I would rather my child be the bully
because I would put an end to it immediately.
Like if I found out that I would I know that sounds bad,
because of course, like, then your kids like doing something mean.
But like, if I found out that one of my kids was doing something,
I could parent that so much easier than I could when like your kids,
the one being bullied like that.
And I'm not saying I want my kids to be bullies.
I'm just saying, like, I think it's easier to discipline and parent.
And let me be clear, it would be the last time they ever did it.
Like it would be horrible for the Stumpy Kids if I ever got to have phone call.
But when your child is the one being bullied, that has got to be horrible.
And it's almost like the you know, you because you can if you get involved,
it can go like the opposite of how you want it to go, you know.
Well, I think that I don't think you're supposed to get involved.
I think that I think that the way you're thinking is you're like,
if my kid was the bully, I could nip it in the butt.
I could do something about it and I could see immediate results.
I think that like if your kid is the one getting bullied,
you're not always going to see like that instant gratification.
Something that I like really want to do and that I think really helped me.
It growing up was just like things I never questioned about myself.
I never questioned if I was kind.
I never questioned if I was beautiful because I was told that all the time.
I never questioned if I was loved or if I can I also had a bunch of siblings.
So it's like you always had someone who had your back.
I know they say like, you know, tell your kid they're they're smart.
Like, don't just tell don't just focus on their looks.
And but like always being told that I was sweet,
like everyone said I was the sweetest kid.
So then I took that into my grade school.
I'm like, well, I'm nice. I'm sweet.
I never had to question even when I was a freaking six foot giraffe in eighth grade.
And maybe got made fun of it sometimes by boys and whatever.
I never questioned that I was beautiful, though,
because I was always told that by my parents.
Yeah, I agree. And I just think like those that's what you have to do.
Like you just it's a confidence thing.
Like if you can raise a confident kid, then a bully can't can't do anything.
I know confidence is like the number because I.
Really love myself confidence.
I'm a very confident person.
I always have been and I'm trying to kind of figure out why I am that way
and how I can make sure my kids are that way, because I do think
self confidence takes you so far in life.
So for both confident, why are we both so why are we both so confident?
I mean, I'm with you. I mean, I'm with you.
I think it's there was a level of mom and dad told us,
but I don't I don't think that was that was it.
I I don't I don't know why we're both so confident.
Yeah, well, to figure that out.
But I also think like Elizabeth and I, well, I can't speak for Elizabeth.
But like, I definitely got bullied, my fair share, especially in grade school.
High school, I totally came into myself.
I had a glow up.
I I don't know.
I was very confident in high school.
Still always the nice girl.
Like I wasn't like the most popular girl, but I was nice to everyone.
But grade school, I definitely got left out, got bullied and.
As like hard as it, I remember like times just like crying on my bed
from like how mean girls were to me.
And they weren't even probably all that mean.
I just took it so badly.
But when I do like look back on those times, like.
You know, I grew up like such a loving, privileged life that like that was kind of my grit.
And I kind of talk about this a lot.
Like there is a level of, you know, that's what.
That's what made me the person I am, like right, wrong or right, wrong or indifferent.
So I do think there's a level of like you have to let your kids have
some of these hard experiences.
Yeah, definitely to turn into a good people.
Definitely.
We'll see.
Wolf.
I don't really have an answer.
I also don't have a situation like I'm just all forecasting this, but totally.
And again, those just seem like much harder problems to solve
than any of the current problems I'm having with my children at the moment.
Yeah, you're like so thankful for the current problems.
And mom always said that teenage girls were harder than toddlers.
And like I always laughed her off.
And now I'm like, that's so scary because I think toddlers are so hard.
Like that's so scary.
We were like such good teenage girls, too.
And like we were still like had like annoying things that we did.
I know it's like so tough.

Anything else?
So is there anything else that you want to say about like your weekend about your life?
Like I just hate to rush off the subject of all things Elizabeth.
Thank you.
Let me think about this.
Oh, you know where we went this weekend?
It killed an hour before nap time with the kids.
Where?
Bass Pro Shop.
Oh yeah, that's so fun.
You know, if there's a Bass Pro Shop near you,
like go to lunch then go to Bass Pro.
Animals, like the kids love looking at the animals.
There's an aquarium.
They also have like boats inside and like they let your kid just like climb up on the boats.
No, that is, we're not scared.
We live in a small town.
So like I'm not scared though.
There's been days where we've just gone to the PetSmart
and just looked at the guinea pigs and the reptiles and the fish.
Totally.
And bought ourselves 20, 30 minutes.
Yeah, no, for sure.
Bass Pro's a good idea.
Yeah, no, it literally literally killed an hour.
And that was a great time.
So that's, I think that covers it though.
I think I'm good.
I think I'm ready to move on.
Well, I've just had such a big week because I have been,
I picked up a huge Facebook marketplace lot.
And like I'm almost done talking about my Fisher price micro hobby,
but I'm having so much fun with it.
And I speak, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're all having fun with it.
Because the tags and the messages and the like engagement I'm getting off of this,
it's starting to feel like a universal experience.
Like we're all just trying to get this dollhouse.
Everyone sent, everyone's rooting for me to find the 1993 Loving Family
in good condition.
The one with the blue roof stops sending me the pink one.
I don't want the pink one.
I'm so jealous of the people who are posting that,
oh, my parents held on to all my Fisher price stuff,
just pulled it out of their basement.
Ugh.
I know.
So jealous of them.
It's so amazing.
And I will just say like now that I've brought the toys to my home
and my children have played with them,
they are 100% worth the hype.
They are, I will say it one more time, the best toys ever made, period.
The people, I could literally write a theses.
I could do a dissertation on how much better the people are
than the modern day dollhouse slash Barbie slash LOL dolls we get.
First of all, they're the perfect size fits in the palm of your hand.
They're a good height.
They're not too small.
The Gabby dollhouses are too freaking small.
I can't have them out around Libby.
Okay.
Barbies.
Now, howdy's just not a Barbie girl.
Like I know some girls are such Barbie girls.
First of all, a Barbie looks ratty within 20 minutes.
I'm sorry.
But like the hair, they just simply can't figure out the hair ever.
And my kids play rough.
Like the Barbies are in the barn.
The Barbies are in the bath.
The Barbies are in the pool.
Now the Barbies somehow have made their way back into the house
and they look ratchet.
And like the hair is just never the same.
Also, the dressing.
The dressing of Barbies is so difficult.
It's not designed for children to do.
And now the Barbies are making me so mad
because now they have Barbies with different feet.
So some are flat-footed, some are not.
So now I have all these shoes.
So again, our chokies, hello, that don't fit on certain feet.
And just like there's nothing worse than trying to put a top on a Barbie
than the thumb like pokes through the sleeve of the Barbie.
Fisher Price solves all those problems.
The characters are dressed.
They're painted on clothes.
They just look like any like sitcom character.
Like they have the same outfit on every single time.
Their hair is not real.
That's why I don't want the 1990s with the real hair
because they look ratchet.
They're the perfect size.
There is not a thing.
They are the best toys.
It was jarring to see you post these dolls next to an LOL doll
because I hadn't really seen LOL dolls.
What in the freaking freaky alien are those?
I have so much props.
So had he got those from one of our cousins
was like getting rid of all of our LOL dolls.
So had he has like a couple of them.
They're heinous.
They're so ugly.
They are so cheap.
And they're just not going to stand the test of time.
Like I was like because when I before I went on this journey
I was like I just want to try to find dolls
like those Fisher Price dolls.
Surely they're making dolls like that on Amazon
that I can just buy.
They're not.
Like I'm literally one mental breakdown away
from starting my own toy company
because like I just can't or like Fisher Price.
Let's collab.
Let's bring back these characters.
They are better.
Yeah.
They're so much better than the current little people
and it just kind of feels like
it's like it's like so many things in this world.
Like quality things are getting more expensive
and the quality is getting worse.
Yeah.
And because like now the Fisher Price little people
like I know you think we like those.
They suck compared to the real ones.
They're so small.
They're cheaper and they're so baby-ish.
Like kids aren't going to play with them for as long
like how do you want to be caught dead
playing with a Fisher Price little people today.
Okay.
Sure.
And the other thing the point that you bring up about the hair
is anyone asking for real hair like I think we can reserve
like even on Barbie.
I think if you had Barbie's hair plastic
permanently styled in a beautiful way
out the kids would have way more fun playing with them
reserve the real hair and get like better quality fake hair
for a real fake hair for like
just the heads where you like do their hair
and you do their makeup.
Like no one's actually like styling their
no child's styling their Barbie's hair like that.
Maybe they're what do I what actually what do I know.
No we're not like it's just never going to look good.
It's never going to look good.
I just I don't know what their obsession
with the real hair is it just always ends up looking ratty.
Yeah like she can still have fabulous hair
but it can just be like plastic and always look good.
The other thing about Barbies is they don't stand up.
That's what I'm saying.
Where's the technology for Barbies to like be able to stand
like you just have to have them sit
or lean them up against something
which doesn't make for a very good play experience.
Elizabeth you're so right.
I really don't think Barbies are all that in a bag of chips.
I'm telling you had he does not play with them very much
and like their clothes are so hard to put on.
This is like these like this lot that I bought
I ended up paying $200 for it.
No regrets not a one.
And like again I told you guys earlier
like I had a great childhood growing up
like I didn't think I had like inner childhood
like my inner child didn't need to heal
but like somehow it has like I'm telling you
it is fulfilled so much in me to bring these toys back.
I am obsessed and let me just say I am not done collecting.
I am not done collecting.
I love love love these toys.
They are the best toys ever made.
You know it's in a world where like you could Amazon
anything you can think of and you can always find
like what you need.
It's really interesting the way that I feel like toys
are the only thing that like the only thing in my life
that gets discontinued I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Like none of the products I use could discontinue
the clothes I wear don't get continued.
Nothing gets discontinued like clothes or like toys
and it's it just like really makes you want to take a second look
at like the thrift stores and the just between friend sales
and the antique stores because like when things are gone
like they're literally not coming back
and you have to get them secondhand and they're set like
there's just so many of those Fisher price toys
like literally in a landfill and it's so sad.
Yeah I'm because you're like Liz you have to do it
like you have to get these toys.
I'm like babe I can't find them.
I know what you found the one in Missouri.
Like they're not I know I'm like a little bit
I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this $300 one from eBay though
like I need to I need to like ask my husband about it
which I don't know how I'm really going to like frame it up to him.
Yeah for sure other than like this is a hobby that I want to do.
He's just going to be like that's what you want to spend your money on
and like none of my kids' birthdays are coming up
like it just sucks for me.
Yeah but I'm telling you they're incredible.
I'm considering selling my clip club castle to pay to fund it.
I think it's I think it's probably a good time.
Yeah you lost the horses didn't you.
Yeah I did lose the horses but they're somewhere in my house.
Yeah that's kind of why I'm holding on to it.
Yeah but yeah I might consider selling the clip club castle
but the nights that I might just auction it off at the next karma auto show
so I just don't know.
I just don't know but anyway.
Let's talk about the karma auto show.
It's my favorite topic I would literally love to dive into it with you.
Karma auto show is June 13th in STL.
And people are like why did you keep it in STL?
Why don't you take it on the road?
And so that I say where is the Chicago auto show?
Where is the LA auto show?
Where is the New York auto show?
They are in their cities.
We are in St. Louis.
We are centrally located.
We are a must-see city.
Lots of fun things to do.
Lots of fun things to do.
We will be putting together itineraries for whatever trip you're taking.
If it's a family trip we'll give you what to do.
If it's a girls trip we'll give you what to do.
If it's a couples trip we will give you what to do.
That is coming soon.
All I can tell you now is to book the trip.
I would not stick my neck out for something that I didn't totally believe in.
This is the fourth auto show we've done.
There is nothing like it in the country.
The rest of the country could never.
Like sorry, the other auto shows in the country could never.
What you can find there?
30 to 35 of the hottest family cars.
That's the full size.
That's the minivans.
That's the mid-sized SUVs.
We have some trucks there.
We put car seats in every single car.
Because you know what else you can't find?
A place to look at all the car seats.
Oh, I have them.
They're all in my garage.
We have shopping.
Shop till you drop at the car auto show.
Local vendors.
Women-owned businesses.
Everyone's there selling their crafts.
They're amazing, amazing goods.
We've got ice coffee.
We've got kids activities that are included in your ticket price.
I'm talking face pain.
I'm talking balloon artists.
Last year we had Taylor Swift impersonator.
In addition to several other good characters.
I may even have stilt walkers this year.
You just don't know.
And it is the best.
Here are your options if you are car shopping.
You can either go to multiple dealerships.
Talk to multiple salesmen.
Just so you can get a look inside
of the three different cars you're considering.
Or you can have one super fun afternoon in St. Louis
with your girls, look at your cars,
and then narrow your list down and go from there.
It honestly, it's going to save you so much time.
You have no, if you've recently car shopped, you do know this.
But if you wanted to wake up one day and be like,
I want to see the third row of the Toyota Grand Highlander.
Let me just paint you what your day would look like.
You'd have to drive to a dealership.
You'd have to pull up and then you would see all these sales
people staring at you through the window.
A guy would come out to you named Derek.
He's on his third monster of the day, his energy drink.
He would ask for your phone number.
They're going to harass, not all of them.
I'm kind of being dramatic.
But he's going to ask for your phone number.
He's going to want you to talk to his manager.
He's going to pull the car up.
He's going to put some sale pressure on you.
And you're like, I just wanted to see what the third row looked like.
That's all I wanted to see.
You know who's not going to send you a follow-up text
or call her a follow-up email?
Karma motto show.
100%.
We couldn't be bothered.
Like, we're good.
Please.
Yeah, no.
That's not, that's not about us.
You do you.
We don't want your money.
We don't want your sale.
Well, we do want your money.
We want your ticket price.
But that's all we want.
We do need your ticket price because we do have expenses
that have to cover.
But once our expense, that's what we're in it for.
Like, we are just.
I'm telling you, it's such a star-sided affair.
It's such a fun event.
And the night before on June 12th, we'll be having like a VIP night.
And that's not really the right word for it.
It's more of like an adults-only night.
So it's not going to have the vendors,
not going to have the kids' activities.
We're going to have like a little cocktail hour,
and then we're going to open up the floor,
and I'll probably do like a private tour.
So I would recommend coming to both.
Because like, if you want to like for sure meet me and Liz,
get a picture, you know, have a night out,
definitely come to that.
And then the next day.
Well, and also it's like, it's there won't,
it's there's limited tickets available for that.
So, you know, at the auto show sometimes,
especially if you're at like a really hot time,
you might be waiting to look in a car,
there might be a lot going on.
You have like total private access to the show,
and to all the cars.
So if like you're a very, very serious buyer,
and also like you want to have them come a good time,
and you really want to like meet us,
and talk with us and everything,
that's the one that you should go to.
But then you should still come back the next day for the vibes.
The next day is a totally different experience.
Just like good vibes, just like music, it's vibe-y,
it's a great time.
Yeah, we're so excited.
So June 13th, save the day.
Tickets are not available yet, but they will be soon.
And it's also just like, I'm telling you,
it just like shakes up the industry in such a major way.
Like with the press we get after this,
everyone's always like, I want to be a part of that.
Like what is this auto show that you guys are doing?
Pretty exciting.
Yeah, okay.
The last thing I wanted to say, since we've talked last,
I don't know if you can like hear to my voice,
but I'm a lot more well read than the last time we talked,
because I had my first book club.
Oh, she did.
I have already read one book, The Lion Woman of Tehran.
Overall, I found the story to be fascinating.
It was a period in time and a place in time I knew very little about.
So I'm very much more well educated and versed.
I felt like the ending like wrapped up way too quick.
And I feel like that's kind of like common with books.
It's like, you know, when you give me all these details
and then you like slap one chapter together for like,
like I knew everything these characters ate for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner for the first three years of their life.
And then you can't be bothered to write a decent ending.
Like that was crazy.
I get that.
But I have not stopped thinking about the book.
So I do recommend it.
I think it's very, very good.
And we had our first book club.
It's just me and two other girls.
And they I like knew these two girls were readers.
And so I had an inkling that like they might be book clubbing.
And I just literally invited myself and I said,
Hey, do you guys want to get together and do a book club?
Like I'm just looking to read more.
And they're like, Oh yeah, we read every month.
Let's start a book club.
And so we did.
The rule is like we take turns hosting the hostess picks the book.
Okay.
And then we just have like, like straight up girl dinner,
like there's not a protein to be found.
You know what I mean?
There's like bruschetta, goat cheese, wine, nerds clusters,
like just delicious, crème de la crème.
We printed out some discussion questions
and we just talked about the book.
And it was such a fun night.
So fun.
So we're doing it next.
I'm hosting next.
Okay.
The book I chose is called, I think it's called The Goddess of Warsaw.
You know, it's so hard when you don't,
when you're on a physical book,
copy person, because you're always just like, Oh what,
like, where's the book?
You know?
Yeah.
Cause like your Kindle doesn't tell you.
And I don't know, I'll get some not looking at the audible.
So yeah, we're doing it monthly.
I thought we were going to do it every other month,
but they, these girls are like,
they're like readers who are readers,
because I was like trying to pick this months book
and I sent them three and they had read all three of them already.
So.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
They're like real readers and they really like thrillers.
And I'm a little scared about a thriller
because I don't like scary things.
But I think I'm going to have to stretch myself
because this will be our second historical fiction book.
So we'll see.
But all's to say is I'm really enjoying it.
You should join our book club.
Not interested?
I don't know.
I am kind of, but I'm also kind of hesitant.
Yeah.
I wonder why.
I just feel like you and I do a lot together.
Totally.
And sometimes I wonder if our social life
should just remain kind of more separate.
Okay.
That's fine.
Start your own then.
Maybe I will.
I don't, I don't know if I'm,
I don't know if I'm a book club era right now.
I get that.
I get that.
But like the fact that I could have,
like the fact that by the end of this year
I could have had 12 books read.
Watch Out World.
That would be really exciting.
Like what do you know about Tehran in the 60s?
Because I know some things.
Yeah.
No, it's good.
Yeah.
So anyway, that's what I've been up to.
Okay.
We're proud of you.
And tomorrow I fly out for the Chicago auto show.
Speaking of auto shows.
Speaking of auto shows, the one in Chicago
that never leaves Chicago.
You're going to that one.
And I'm not going because I can't.
But you are going with Sam.
Mama knows car seats.
And you guys are going to like a gala.
Like you're doing black tie things.
Yeah.
I know.
So like, I feel like, like let me be clear.
Like the Chicago auto show is a bigger auto show
than the Karman auto show.
Not more fun, but it is bigger.
So we get there Thursday and Sam and I are so excited
because Sam and I are both watching traders
and traders comes out on Thursday nights.
So like me and Sam get to sit in a hotel room,
kid free together and watch traders like
peak, peak of the trip, peak of the trip.
Yeah.
Also, I may do like a little traders recap
at the end of this episode
because I just feel like something I care.
And then Friday morning, we had the media day.
So that's where the auto show is not open to the public.
They don't play any music.
So like the media can go around and like capture
all of our content, but your girls booked and busy.
I've got meetings with Stellantis.
I've got meetings with Ram.
I've got meetings with Britax and I'm on a panel.
So like, catch me, catch me all over the place.
And then that night we're going to a black tie gala.
Me and Sam, luckily it's with came through
with a perfect black tie dress.
Thank you for all your military ball experiences.
It's a gala that's on the showroom floor,
which sounds so razzle-dazzly.
Like that is my happy place.
Like give me, oh and the hotel's connected.
Probably shouldn't say, but it's fine.
The hotel's connected.
So like catching with a little bubbly.
You know what I mean?
So excited.
And finally, Saturday morning, I'm doing tours.
One tour and it might not be too late to get your tickets.
You can find a link in the show notes if it's not too late
because come out, private tour of the auto show with me and Sam.
And I'm bringing merch.
Wow.
Such a valuable ticket.
So valuable.
If you have any questions about cars or car seats,
literally the most valuable ticket.
I know, literally.
Like if you can get Sam to answer a question to you,
like in person, like oh my gosh, wow.
She's so smart.
No, I'll be taking notes too.
Like she's so smart.

Should I give my little traders recap?
Yeah, no, I was just like, while I just, I posted a reel not too long ago about like
my 12 weeks pregnant update and I just read like a hate comment that I got.
Not even a hate comment.
But then people have already come to my defense and it's just kind of hilarious.
Someone named Jack, who's surprised, said, did you see the state of Florida?
Okay, so I posted how I've been like craving sour candy, like God forbid.
He said, did you see how the state of Florida published what's in candy?
Lots of things that are no good in sour candy and I'm not talking sugar.
Google it.
Someone goes, do you think this is helpful, Jack?
We know candy isn't great.
She's pregnant.
Mind your own uterus.
And then someone goes, I'm sure she and baby will be perfectly fine.
We're talking sour candy, sour patch kids, not heroin.
Like, dude, I freaking know sour Skittles are probably the worst candy I could be eating right now.
Not the point.
Oh, Jack.
Oh, Jack.
Oh, Jack.
I just like love it when people just like come to my defense and I don't have to even say anything.
Thank you.
That's the mamas.
What a village.
The moms are either the nicest or the worst people on the internet.
Oh my gosh, it is so true.
I've received the nicest messages from moms and the worst messages from moms.
Yeah, we're a crazy bunch like we're a crazy bunch like that.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, totally.
I wonder if our mom struggles with how hard it is to parent 30-year-old women
who receive a lot of hate comments on the internet because I have called her crying a couple of times.
Yeah, it doesn't really seem to phase her.
I think she's fine.
Like whatever.
You're being crazy.
So anyway, anyway, let me just tell you about traders.
If you're if you're not watching, you might want to hear this recap
because I just think like it'll help you have conversations with people.
First of all, it's the best show on television.
Wait, should we do our industry news before we do this?
That's fine.
That's fine.
Okay, because like I want to talk about the 2027 Kia Telluride.
Okay, we'll do our intro for industry news first.
Now it's time for industry news where we share the hot tea going on the auto industry.
And today, Liz wants to talk about the Kia Telluride.
I want to talk about the new Kia Telluride because we just got a chance to see it.
And it was fun because we were at the dealership.
This is what was so much fun about doing it at the dealership
versus like going to a first drive event where they just have the car.
We literally sat in a 25 and then a 27.
25 and 27.
Like we could very clearly see the differences and the upgrades
and what we like and what we don't like.
First impressions when I drove up to it and I think we both had the grill I don't like.
I don't like the grill.
The grill I don't like.
The rest of the exterior is fine.
I think that the interior has some really cool touches to it.
There are a few things that kind of bother me on it, but it looks a lot better than,
I like it better than the 26 Palisade.
I totally agree.
And I previously was a Palisade over Telluride girl and now I've totally flip flopped.
Um, you know, it felt a little,
it's really hard because like it, it wasn't screaming for an upgrade like this from me.
So it's like, I do like it, but I still like the old one.
And now they feel like two completely different cars.
Yeah.
Like even the new expedition, it was a total redesigned interior now,
but it still feels like an expedition.
Totally.
Like if you would have put me in that car and covered up the Kia logo,
I would have had no idea what car I was in.
I would have probably guessed a Toyota because I do think the interior is a little bit,
especially in the Telluride, is more rugged feeling.
Which I was hoping they would go a little bit more techy because I think the Koreans do
tech really well.
So to see them like kind of strip away some of the designs and instead try to be like so rugged,
it's not that I don't like it.
It just wasn't what I wasn't, what I was expecting.
And I don't want to say it feels unnecessary, but it's just like,
you're just not going to catch me saying that that it was, I love the old one still.
There was nothing.
Yeah.
I didn't have any issues with the old one.
I think that they could have done.
I agree with you.
Like a total redesign, similarly to the expedition that still held some Telluride to it.
Like this just felt so different.
I don't know.
It's just like these recent Hyundai and Kia releases have just been like,
they must have like a very clear 10-year plan.
At least I hope that they do because it feels so totally random.
I mean, it's feeling less random the more that come out that look very boxy, very futuristic.
But now I feel like the Palisade and the Telluride actually look really similar.
And before I felt like they had two very different flavors.
Yeah.
And now they're like kind of the same car with like some minor changes.
Something that they, some things that highlights that they did add is that they did add a tether
anchor in the third row.
They added a car seat tilt.
They fixed the buckles in the second row, so boosters should be easier to buckle.
So they made good car seat improvements.
I just think it's like, it's just really hard to like champion behind a brand who's always
changing because even if you look at what the Telluride looked, I mean, we've talked about this,
the Telluride changed every year and a half.
Yeah.
Like they're updating the grill, they're updating the headlights and they're giving it such a
different look and it's just like really aging the cars.
And I don't know if that strategy is like, let's get people in the new ones sooner, sooner,
sooner because then you look at like Toyota's, they couldn't be bothered to update their car.
Volvo couldn't be bothered to update their car.
Tesla literally couldn't do it if they tried.
So it's just different strategies and it's hard because it's not that I don't like it.
I do like it.
I think it's fun.
I think it's exciting.
It's good content for us.
Just like, I just can't wait how quickly it happened, you know?
So speaking of quickly it happened, there's two things that I wanted to talk about today
on industry news and is two, actually three cars that are no longer being made anymore.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
This is from motor one.
It's the end of the road for two of Tesla's longest running electric vehicles.
The Model S sedan and the Model X UV will be discontinued next quarter.
Elon must set on the company's earning call on Wednesday.
Tesla plans to convert the space at its Fairmont, California factory where the Model
S and Model X are built into a facility to produce Optimus humanoid robots instead.
So that's the Model S.
This is like a sedan, but the Model X is their big SUV.
For robots?
For robots.
I was watching that wild robot movie.
Have you ever seen that?
No.
It's on Netflix.
It's a good movie.
Your kids would like it.
I want nothing to do with robots.
Like humanoid robots.
I'm not that offended by them.
Just feels like it's a whole other thing.
Totally.
Anyway, the next car that's dead is the Hyundai Santa Cruz,
which was Hyundai's like failed little like weird flip-flop looking truck.
Yeah, it was a hideous, hideous car.
I don't even think we ever reviewed it because why?
It was hard for me to look at.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I'm good.
I'm happy with that one.
Just after four years in production.
Wow.
It's pulling its plug on the Fordmatic rival and we can't say we're all surprised.
That's also for a motor one.
So, but don't worry.
The Kia has a new telluride.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, are you ready for ditch the drive-thru where we give you an easy dinner recipe to
mix it up to get you out of your dinner rut?
For dinner the other night, I made chicken, but like in a new way that was so good and so
juicy, I couldn't believe it.
Is this your cutlet story again?
No, it's not.
I'm like really mixing up my chicken game.
Normally, I would prepare chicken this way and then I would grill it, but since
there's snow outside, I couldn't grill.
So here's what I did.
I always start with a chicken breast by putting it in a bag and then mashing it with a mallet.
A thin breast is always easier to work with.
Sure.
Once it's a thinner breast, then I douse it in Italian dressing.
Classic.
That's so mom.
Let it marinate for if you have 30 minutes, great.
If you have five hours, great.
However long you have.
And then I heated up my cast iron skillet and I put some avocado oil in it and I just
like flipped it, put it, put them on the pan and like flipped it a couple of times
and waited until it was like exactly 165 and pulled it off.
It was so.
Oh, and before you put them before you put it in the pan, you have to like kind of
take a paper towel and like dab the chicken.
So it's not so dressy and so like wet because that prevents like burning.
I found out.
And then I cut it up and I ended up making chicken wraps, which like a chicken wrap is
fun because then it's like whatever your flavor.
That's just your sauce.
So if you like ranch, if you like buffalo, if you like a parmesan sounds unbelievable right now.
Yeah, you could do Caesar like really if you get the the the inner fixings, whatever that
is for you.
For me, it's like cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, bacon.
Yeah.
And then and then the best thing you can do is when you have your leftovers to just cut the
chicken up into strips before you put it in the Tupperware.
Sure.
You're going to be way more inclined to use it than like pulling out a cold breast and
having to cut it up.
No, like a Southwest chicken wrap made from home right now.
Yeah.
That's a good one too.
I would literally love that to be delivered to me.
This is not that you can drive through, but we didn't talk about this.
We had the most fun dinner on Friday night.
We had the most fun dinner.
We did something so random.
Tyler and I just like it was like a night where like the kids got home from school and I'm like,
I can't sit here all night.
He's like me neither.
So we're like, what should we do?
And I'm like, he's like, let's go to dinner.
And it's just like dinner with like four kids sounds so horrible.
And I was like, let's go to Hibachi.
Like we've never taken the kids to a Hibachi restaurant.
You know, when they cook in front of you.
We said dinner with four kids sounds so terrible.
Let's add fire and a live skillet to the mix.
Yeah.
So she called me.
She was going to a Hibachi place literally seven minutes from my house and I was like,
okay, well, I don't want to cook either.
I'll meet you there.
It was a blast.
All the kids sat in their seats the entire time.
No one asked for anything.
They actually ate their food.
All the food comes out quickly and ready.
So like because they get the rice out first so the kids can start eating.
Fred was just eating yum yum sauce.
Like love him.
Yeah.
Fred was dipping his finger in yum yum sauce.
George and Hattie had so much fun like catching the food in their mouth.
They thought like the ring of fire was so cool.
The choo choo train onion.
Of course, like George and Hattie did.
But even Fred and James, they both tried catching the food in their mouth,
got hit in the head and they thought it was hilarious.
They loved the fire.
Like they all loved it.
And it was actually so fun.
I never would have thought like a two and a half year old was an appropriate age to take to Hibachi.
And actually it was great.
It wasn't our worst idea.
No one asked for like a coloring page.
Like everyone was enthralled the entire time.
Yeah.
No, it was so fun.
It was so fun.
I like it was one of those nights where I Kelly, I like woke up the next day and I was like,
what a great night that was.
I haven't had an experience like that in a long time.
Especially when I get together with the kids, we have the best.
We have such high expectations and we are let down every single time in like a major way.
Yeah.
And that was one where I was like, things we did that.
Like we did that.
We had fun with that.
When Fred and James are starting to play together too, which makes things easier.
Oh, it was great.
Take your kids to Hibachi.
I didn't want to leave.
I'm like, well, I guess you can.
But I didn't.
He was ready to spend the night.
But like they're close.
No, it's so exciting.
Like another year.
Like it's it's going to be so fun.
Um, so, you know, we didn't ditch the ride through, but it is a fun thing to do.
Really fun.
It is not cheap though.
No.
But okay.
So here's something I found out.
Who was I talking to?
I was talking to maybe my sister-in-law about it because I was like,
we had so much fun at Hibachi, but like it's really expensive.
But it's also so much food.
So like we could have easily split.
And she said the place that they go to lets will let her and her husband split.
They just have to pay two dollars.
So if you could split an entree, but they'd cost you two dollars to split.
And then like you get, she's like, they still give you like all the same rice.
Like they're still going to make it the same way.
But she's like, we split it and then we still have leftovers.
So that might be a good hack to find out about splitting.
And like the kids meals were literally the size of the aunt.
Like they were huge.
Yeah, they were huge.
So many leftovers.
Okay.
Now it's time for traders recap.
Oh yeah.
So traders, I'm not going to catch you up on everything.
But on the most recent episode was, do you know who Lisa Rinna is?
Yeah.
Okay.
So Lisa Rinna ends up going home because they find out that she's a trader.
Do you know who Colton under what is?
Yeah.
So it was this whole like Colton Rinna because Colton kind of got onto Lisa Rinna
because she was being very like quiet, more reserved.
And he was like, I think she's a trader.
And that kind of like got the conversation started.
And then another trader Rob from Love Island, you know, Rob from Love Island.
No.
The one with the snake tattoos.
No.
He's darling.
Anyway, he's starting to throw Rinna under the bus, like basically outing one of his fellow
traders because she was getting like borderline hard to defend.
And then the thing that like really set me over the edge and just like I thought was so
interesting was they had to do this like banquet.
And they had to do, I guess, what you could call like a murder in plain sight.
So Lisa Rinna had to wear this, this like a brooch, brooch girl summer.
She had to wear this brooch and she had to get one of the other contestants to touch her brooch.
And if they touched it, then later they found out like that curse them.
But they didn't know what the curse was.
So they ended up cursing this guy named Yam Yam.
This sounds so stupid when I'm describing it to you, but it's okay for the third
people listening, they're going to care.
Then I'm cursing this guy named Yam Yam.
And Yam Yam, he's like gets banished basically gets murdered.
And he's like, it was Lisa, she kissed me, she kissed me.
And Lisa immediately goes, no, I didn't, which was not even what she did to murder him.
It was the brooch because she acted like the brooch was like kind of not clipped all the way.
But she immediately lies and says, no, I didn't kiss him like on the cheek when
she did.
And like she immediately went to lie like that.
And it was that was literally was when she dug her own grave because
why would you just be like, yeah, I kissed everybody here.
Like what are you talking about?
I kissed everybody and she immediately went on the defense, which is not a good idea.
So then the episode goes on and Lisa is like literally scrambling to try to get somebody's
other's names put up and they get to the round table and she just like couldn't
build a case for anybody.
And they end up like voting her out pretty unanimously, which is crazy because like Rob
kind of like led that charge.
So now no one's expecting Rob to be the traitor.
But now Rob has to work with Candice, who is another housewife.
And I think that it goes really south from here because what I've read is that Candice
and Rob are not speaking anymore.
So it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
But like Colton Underwood is like one of the best players in this game and he's so influential.
And like if he says something like he can flip a table.
Like if he brings a name up, it's like signing a desert certificate.
And he's been wrong two out of the four times, which is probably more.
50-50.
No, he's been wrong.
He's only he's only been right about Lisa.
So he's been wrong a lot.
People are and they're voting out all these faithfuls.
So do like new people get added throughout the game?
Like what do you mean?
Faithfuls.
What is it?
Faithfuls and traitors.
There's faithfuls and traitors.
And the faithfuls are trying to find the traitors and the traitors kill faithfuls.
It's such a good show.
I'm obsessed.
You know what Kelly?
I want to get there.
But like the way the way that I am obsessed with Landman.
I can't stop thinking about the people.
I'm following people on Instagram.
Like I'm watching their interviews.
Like I don't do this for shows.
I'm obsessed.
I need to watch Landman and the new Bridgerton came out.
Like I'm so I have got to but now I'm in a book club.
Now I'm too busy to do anything.
Kelly, there's too much.
There's too much.
There's too much.
But anyway, that's going to be your episode today
because I'm starving and I want a chicken wrap.
All right, well you get your chicken wrap girl.
Thank you so much for listening to the Carpool podcast
and we'll talk to you next time.
Love you guys.
Bye.
you
