About this episode
An iconic Detroit trip, auto industry drama, and Sloppy Joe rebrand — what’s not to love on this jam packed episode? Lizz discovered today’s millennial word of the day on a Gen Z reel recently. ‘Pog champ’ is a way to show excitement and hype in the gaming world that is creeping its way into mainstream lingo. The gals have massive dumps to share today, starting with the Roman empire trend that Kelly is certain Lizz started. Try it yourself: ask your husband how often he thinks about the Roman empire and if he thinks he could land a Boeing 737 plane. Kelly and Lizz wonder what the female version of the trend is and Kelly reveals how often she thinks — and how little she actually knows — about Hellen Keller. Why are children’s books depressing for no reason? Lizz may not have the answer, but she certainly has questions. Kelly recaps her iconic Detroit trip and says if she was a Telluride she’d be shaking in her boots about the new GMC Acadia redesign. Skip a trip to the grocery store *and* ditch the drive-through.

What should an engaged 27 year old listener do about her teddy bear on her honeymoon? Kelly sheepishly shares her embarrassing take on today’s advice segment. She and Lizz also agree with a listener who wrote in about a confusing car giveaway. → Write in your icks and ask for advice! Send Kelly and Lizz an email to get your question featured on the show at hello@thecarmomofficial.com Industry news is bringing the drama with a UAW strike for higher wages and benefits from the big three: Stellantis (Chrysler, Doge, Jeep, Ram), Ford, and General Motors. Workers are looking for a 40% pay increase to match the company’s CEOs and a return to their full benefits package. In Musk moments, Kelly and Lizz share the power of the quote and practice, “Sometimes thank you goes further than I love you,” and why they, “Don’t fight tired.” The humble and delicious Sloppy Joe needs a rebrand. Kelly is here to make it happen on today’s ditch the drive-through and Lizz is coming in hot with a new name to shake things up — Iowa slingers. →Are you a Carpool listener from Iowa?
