    FACT OR FICTION - CAR EDITION

    It's November! With a new month comes unseasonably warm temperatures and back to two episodes a week. It couldn't come at a better time as there is a LOT happening in both Kelly and Lizz's homes. There are roosters and chickens at the Stumpe house that has Kelly asking questions she never knew she would have to ask. Then, ongoing work going on at Lizz's new home has quickly humbled both her and Mathew and reminded them that owning a home is basically a money pit no matter what you do. 


    Today, Kelly brought a new game to the podcast - Fact or Fiction. This week it is an all car edition (because of course it is). Which one of these cars are real cars you could buy at one time and which are just made up? This all leads to a conversation on the Honda Odyssey and Kelly's hot take. 


    In Driveway Dumps, Lizz needs to talk about those playground etiquette and the moms that watch their phones instead of their kids. When is it okay to step in and tell the kids "no"? What do you do when you have parenting styles that are different from those around you? Kelly let's us in on the show she just started binging - Desperate Housewives. With eight seasons and only watching 30 minutes at a time, this one might take her a couple years to finish. Lizz has an app suggestion she's currently obsessed with and already made her $50! Finally, Kelly is enjoying the simple pleasure of paying in cash and hand washing the dishes. 


    An advice question from a listener has the Car Mom discussing if a Pilot or Odyssey is the best fit for a family of four with a 2-year-old and a 13-year old. That same listener has a GREAT Ditch the Drive-Thru suggestion with BBQ chicken sliders and Kelly shares her recent stuffed bell pepper soup recipe that she is very proud of. 


    All November we are celebrating Blake's Besties and sharing stories from moms of the little ones they lost too soon. Today we have the honor to share the stories of two little ones, Jasmine and Mica.

    YOUR CHILDREN ARE THE ENEMY, NOT YOUR HUSBAND

    For the first time in a long time, Kelly and Lizz are in-person for today's episode! But the bigger news might be the newest addition to Lizz's house in the form of 1/4 a cow and 1/2 a hog. In the midst of the fall craziness, it's time to plan a 30th birthday for the youngest of the Carpool ladies. But what does Lizz really want to do on her big day? 


    A new millennial word of the day has everyone asking what could lose them "aura points." Lizz's Fast Lane Philosophy reminds everyone that your spouse is not the enemy and to not take the day's stress out of them. Then, Kelly's new Base Model Luxury has her loving the simple joy of washing her face at the end of a long day. 


    Why does nobody talk about how hard it is to find matching family outfits for photo shoots? Lizz is stressing out in the Driveway Dump over finding the perfect outfits for another family photo and is wondering why there isn't one great Instagram page with ideas. Kelly has a question on when a photo deserves to be framed. Plus, an advice question leads to Kelly sharing her new two present rule for her kids at Christmas. Will she stick to it? 


    Big stories in Industry News, including the Ford Bronco sales decline, SUV of the year and finalists for the Car Mom Car of the Year! Kelly is bringing the Ditch the Drive Thru with a lemon pepper chicken Caesar salad with noodles that Lizz has some questions about. 


    Starting in November the Carpool is bringing back "Blake's Besties." Send the stories of the little ones you lost way too soon to [email protected]

    THE SEMI-AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SCOOP

    The Carpool podcast has officially charted #1 in the automotive category and is looking forward to a future with video and remote recordings. Today, the gals welcome Kristy Rasback, the global system safety director at General Motors for an interview you won't want to miss.  


    Kelly is prepping for back to school this week while Lizz just celebrated her two year anniversary with Mattie. In driveways dumps they lay out their dream shopping center: Target (of course), Home Goods, Trader Joe's, a local coffee shop, Athleta or Lululemon, and a sushi restaurant. Kelly warns the Carpool crew that Netflix rom coms suck, so take a leap back into the 1990s and rent The Bodyguard. Next on her list is Rumor Has It and Lizz adds It Ends With Us might be worth the watch, too.

Kristy's #1 must-have safety feature surprises Kelly.


    In her work, Kristy's team figures out all of the things that could go wrong with a safety-critical system in the car, and she's proud of GM's future vision for zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. "We wake up every day and are devoted to getting ourselves closer." Last, Kristy shares her teen driving highlights and why she loves having her kids in a safe vehicle she can keep tabs on.
