Could Kelly be a Powerball winner? There was a winning ticket sold in Missouri and Tyler won't let her know if he has that ticket in his pocket. Will winning that money change her? You might not know if they won but there will be signs... like a 10 car garage. The Lions lost their first game of the season, but it wasn't all in vain. It helped Kelly remember just how fun watching football can be and now she has added all the games to her calendar to make it official. Now they just need to get Lizz on board... Speaking of Lizz, she's feeling like she is in her ugly era or as many of us refer to it as "That Time of the Month." It's led her to wonder why we ever got rid of moon lodges and she may be on to something. Both Kelly and Lizz came to the show with a base model luxury that has changed their life recently. First, Kelly bought some black wash cloths that have changed the game when it comes to makeup removal. Then, Lizz is exploring flavored whipped creams that have changed her coffee experience. In Industry News, Mercedes Benz are working on making their G-class vehicles convertibles. Elon Musk might be the world's first trillionaire if he takes the incentive package Tesla is currently offering him. Finally, GM electric vehicles are really giving everyone else a run for their money. Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠Clean Simple Eats⁠⁠.
