Description

Fresh squeezed lemonade is changing Lizz's summer sipping game and beating out every cocktail, even margaritas. Fourth of July never flops and the gals are ready to celebrate freedom and enjoy the sun. And if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, run don't walk—The Car Mom Auto Show VIP is giving date night. Join Kelly and Lizz in a private, vibey setting for an open bar, tasty bites, and exclusive looks at the Car Show mom cars! 

Ditch the drive-through features a staple from Kelly's half a hog, the always beloved bacon. When you're in a pinch for dinner, whip up some bacon and serve up BLTs for dinner. You can do the most with avocado, cracked pepper, and sprouts or do the least with a loaf of Sara Lee's honey wheat and aioli—aka mayonnaise with a glow up.

In driveway dumps, Lizz learned that tight hugs calming your nervous system down and now James is sleeping through the night thanks to wrestling before bed. Kelly started the Celine Dion documentary. And both gals are aghast at how 1.4 billion is probably not the big bucks Bluey truly deserved.

Another $1 billion infusion from Volkswagen is on its way to Rivian as the EV maker develops new models. Jeep Wrangler doesn't perform well on a road test, doesn't have good reliability, and doesn't have much to talk about—yet owner satisfaction is so high. Kelly and Lizz don't quite get it, but they can get on board with the cute duck duck jeep trend whose founder recently passed away. Lizz says, "Keep on Jeep'n!"

A listener's brother has a bad rap with girlfriends and is having a baby with a girl he's been with for four months. Should she feel jealous because this is the first grand baby in the family when she was waiting for mom to retire? Kelly and Lizz say let the cousin work out the kinks out of the family and have kids when the time is really right for you. Another listener wants advice on key FOB security. Can you get car information from a key FOB that is laying out on a counter? Shockingly, yes.
