BIG TRASH WEEK
Is it a vent sesh or another episode of the Carpool pod chock full of all your favorite segments? How about both? Lizz brings the new construction neighborhood news, and Kelly reports on her ‘big trash week’ treasures. Kelly has some things to get off her chest, and the episode wraps with a few heartfelt tears. Kelly and Lizz’s little sister Sydney came through with the millennial word of the day today: slay. As in, “That’s so slay,” and, “Stay slay forever!” The gals continue their search for a soda to drink that isn’t soda on the taste drive with the Cola, Cherry Cola, and Dr. Zevia flavors from Zevia. Kelly and Lizz don’t see eye to eye on the reviews but agree that they’d splurge on the Mountain Dew and Grape Soda-inspired flavors to try them, too. Kelly shares how she’s using Canva to make mood boards for her kids’ rooms and recommends a podcast listen: How I Built This featuring Melanie Perkins, the creator of Canva. Kelly recaps her lasagna marathon and is excited for her next meal-prep date with a bestie that’ll stock her freezer full of tasty chicken enchiladas. The gals love the new buzz about butter boards, and their chat triggers Kelly’s next pregnancy craving. Lizz adds some Trader Joe’s dinner inspiration to the mix and suggests that everyone follow the fabulous Anna Lisa over at @traderjoes5itemsorless. Industry news today is sponsored by Edmunds.

Car and Driver is asking some hard-hitting EV questions and the gals are curious, too: What are fire-fighter concerns about taming an EV fire?
