About this episode
Sometimes you just need your mom and a backscratch. So while George is around getting a little bit of both — he’s here to share his favorite animals, cars, and foods with the Carpool. Today’s millennial word of the day is granola girl as in a crunchy, outdoorsy, and nature-obsessed. Starbucks controversy kicks off today’s driveway dump with a refresher drink scandal that has Lizz utterly un-shook. Kelly and Tyler are making the big switch to pot coffee. And Fred might be facing an egg allergy that has Kelly super bummed. A listener writes in for advice on how to adapt to three kiddos in her 2022 Blazer that is a company car. Should she ask for an upgrade? Does she have her husband drive the company car? Kelly and Lizz say go for the bigger drive, even the Graco slim fit car seats won’t easily accommodate three across. Another listener wonders, “Did a group trip ruin our friendship?” Kelly and Lizz spill their advice on letting park friends be park friends.
