Podcast:The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz Published On: Thu Mar 28 2024 Description: A Sierra Mist scandal, childhood inspired taste drives, and special industry news guest — what more could a Carpooler want? Tune in to hear pregnancy updates, home project progress, and more! Merriam Webster's word of the day today is 'kismet.' Lizz isn't sure why we can't just use fate or destiny, but this word has a little flair for what's meant to be. Kelly is on a freezer meal rampage. She's got a stash of Pioneer Woman's baked ziti, Costco mac and cheese, and broccoli chicken cheesy casseroles that will keep her family and any neighbor in need fed for a while. In their driveway dumps, Kelly and Lizz also vouch for the power of a house project when you're in your trying to make friends era. Both gals agree—influencers need to get on the home appliance bandwagon. Kelly remembers her childhood 'viral' recipes like Ritz crackers, peanut butter, and grapes, sliced bananas in dry Jello powder, and carrots dipped in peanut butter on today's taste drive segment. She and Lizz are trying Solely pineapple fruit leather, the bottled Starbucks pink drink, and bottled Starbucks Paradise drink. Today's episode is brought to you by Zocdoc.

Special guest Mary Rice, Kelly's mentor, dealer principal of her family's Toyota store in Greensboro, a mom, and lifelong baddie joins the gals for a special industry news. Automotive news is no longer considering Tesla a luxury brand and that has everyone wondering what their criteria is in the first place. Marry offers her take on the new EPA regulations, what they mean for the EV market, and how Toyota is contributing to the hybrid wave. Mary shares her favorite ditch the drive-through: easy crockpot salsa chicken. Just throw your chicken breast in a crockpot, pour salsa over it, set it, and forget it until dinner time. Throw the finished chicken into tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, or even eggs the next morning. She also reminds us not to sleep on the crock pot liners for easy cleanup.
