1. Welcome and Personal Updates [00:03 - 01:43]

The episode kicks off with Kelly and Lizz sharing snippets of their daily lives and upcoming plans. Lizz reveals her intention to undergo an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment to address brown spots on her face. She shares her trust in her board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Candulla, stating, “I was trying to get my pink back... I just blindly trusted.” Kelly expresses her hesitance towards Botox, especially while breastfeeding, highlighting the lack of studies: “There’s minimal studies to no studies.”

2. The Title "Doctor" Debate [02:02 - 03:57]

Kelly and Lizz delve into a discussion about who deserves the title "Doctor." Kelly points out the confusion surrounding various doctorates, saying, “It feels like you can have a doctorate and not do anything with medical.” Lizz counters, emphasizing the integrity of medical professionals: “No, I don’t think that’s true at all.” They agree that while non-medical doctorates hold value, the title can be misleading outside the medical field.

3. Embracing AI and Social Media as Search Tools [07:39 - 13:16]

Kelly shares her shift from using Pinterest to leveraging Instagram’s AI-powered search feature for recipes and inspiration: “I was looking up baby purees... I found this girl on Instagram and now I’m following her.” Lizz echoes this sentiment, noting her return to TikTok not just for scrolling but for posting content: “People are starting to use these social medias as their search engines.” They discuss the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, pondering their impact on content creators and traditional search methods.

4. Navigating Screen Time and Parenting Challenges [29:52 - 31:16]

The sisters tackle the sensitive topic of managing screen time for their children. Kelly recounts her mother’s unconventional method of using a swing and Barney to soothe her as a child, reflecting on parental decisions: “I don’t think that was a very good parenting decision, but I turned out fine.” Lizz emphasizes the importance of fostering confidence in their kids without overpraising: “How do you teach confidence without being like gassing them up...” Kelly suggests honest affirmations tailored to each child’s strengths, adding, “If George is really adventurous, lean into that.”

5. Auto Industry Tariffs and Their Implications [35:30 - 43:12]

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the impending auto tariffs set to take effect on April 3rd. Lizz shares insights from an article where President Donald Trump dismisses concerns about price hikes due to tariffs: “I couldn't care less if they raised prices because people are going to start buying American cars.” Kelly and Lizz debate the potential outcomes, with Kelly highlighting conflicting reports and the uncertainty surrounding actual price increases. They caution listeners about misinformation from dealerships claiming imminent price surges, advising, “If a car dealership tells you that a price is more expensive because of the tariffs... go elsewhere.”

Lizz introduces the Vehicle Tariff Checker by Courage.com, explaining its functionality: “You type in a VIN number and it tells you where it’s manufactured, if it’s going to be impacted.” They discuss the complexities and speculations around tariff impacts, ultimately urging listeners to stay informed but not to panic based on unverified claims.

6. Recent Purchases and Recommendations [19:01 - 29:45]

Kelly and Lizz share their latest acquisitions, offering recommendations to their audience:

  • Brooks Sneakers: Reflects on the brand’s resurgence, “They’re the cool shoe to have, and they’re still expensive, but they’re just as cute.”
  • Magnetic Blocks for James: Enthusiastic about their durability and suitability for toddlers, “It’s the fun of blocks without the drama.”

7. Culinary Adventures: Meatballs to Meatloaf [44:11 - 46:24]

The sisters discuss their recent cooking experiments, transitioning from an overabundance of meatballs to crafting a meatloaf. Lizz explains her improvisation due to an excess of meat: “I had four pounds of meat trying to make meatballs, so I decided to form these into a loaf.” She shares her creative use of unsweetened ketchup as a glaze, offset by added brown sugar: “This will be the perfect thing to turn to a meatloaf glaze.” Kelly adds humor about finding recipes on breadcrumb packaging, highlighting the joy of unexpected culinary tips: “Sometimes, like, the best recipes can be found on the back of food items.”

8. Closing Thoughts and Final Banter [46:01 - 46:34]

As the episode winds down, Kelly and Lizz reflect on their diverse discussions, from AI and parenting to auto tariffs and cooking.

Transcript

[A]

Welcome to the Carpool Podcast with Kelly.

[B]

There's days where our kids get no screen time. Like they're outside ding to dong. They're doing all the play. And then there's days where it feels like that might have been a little too much. Like it's just hard.

[A]

Yeah. And Liz, then you should get the stainless. We need to add a new mic stand to my Amazon car.

[B]

Guys.

[A]

Kelly, how'd you just break that? Your mom.

[B]

Time off starts now.

[A]

Now.

[B]

Welcome back to the Carpool Podcast with Kelly and Liz. Hey, Liz.

[A]

Hey, Kel.

[B]

Let's see, by the time you're having this come out, it's Thursday. I'm kind of getting something crazy done today. I haven't even told you about it.

[A]

On Thursday or on the. The day of this recording?

[B]

On Thursday. Today.

[A]

What are you doing on Thursday?

[B]

Don't, don't, don't cheat. See? And look at the calendar. Put it down.

[A]

I will look at the calendar.

[B]

Well, you're not going to know because I think one thing about me, when I add things to my calendar, it's so elus, like, and I need to stop doing this because I'll just put in like, Dr. And it's like Dr. For who? Dr. Where? Like, what is the Dr. Plan?

[A]

Well, you have two things on your calendar and it is laser at 9:15. Are you getting laser hair removal?

[B]

Nope.

[A]

And CPST online courses is at 11. Kind of back to back appointments.

[B]

So I'm getting a laser on my face.

[A]

Oh, well, face laser.

[B]

Yeah. Not sure, to be honest with you. It's called an IPL and it's like just gonna laser some of the brown spots on my face.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Never done anything like this before. No, I just am in the business of like, results and I just, I just, I've heard really good things. Like, what are they called when they're like, like, who does the Botox? Like, what, what is that like? But she's a doctor. But she's a doctor. So she's a plastic surgeon.

[A]

No, no. To be a doctor. To be a plastic surgeon. They're like, I know, but do you.

[B]

Know the, the girl that we go to? What is her? Like, what is her. I guess Dr. Candulla.

[A]

She is a doctor of. Of cosmetic dermatology.

[B]

Okay. So anyway, I was like, listen, she's.

[A]

A board certified dermatologist.

[B]

So interesting doctors.

[A]

Anyway, anyway, it seems like anyone can be a doctor these days.

[B]

No, I don't think that's true at all.

[A]

Well, it feels like you can count. You can have a doctorate and not do anything with medical. And I don't think that's. I don't think that's right.

[B]

No. So.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I agree. Because I don't think you should have.

[A]

Your doctorate in English.

[B]

Totally agree. Totally agree. It's. And it's not to discredit your education.

[A]

Call it something else.

[B]

Call it something else.

[A]

Because we all know what we're thinking.

[B]

Do you think dentists should be able to become be. Consult doctor?

[A]

Yeah. Yes.

[B]

What do you think about vets?

[A]

I feel less passionately about vets, but I guess there's vet nurses, though. This is tough. But it's all in the medical field. But no, like, your doctorate in, you know, history. No.

[B]

Is someone with a doctorate history going by doctor, though? That would be crazy if you did that.

[A]

No.

[B]

Would it be, though? Crazy, but they earned it. What else are they. I mean, like.

[A]

No, it's not their fault. That's what it's called. Mm. Yeah. I just. I probably wouldn't.

[B]

Anyway, all to say, Dr. K was like. I was telling her I'm like, you know, trying to, like, get my pink back. Like, I'm trying to, you know, feel like myself again. And she didn't even hesitate, which kind of hurt. She's like, oh, you need ipl. You've got these spots all over your face. And, like, I did open up the conversation, but, yeah. So she didn't even flinch and told me I needed to get this laser, and I'm just kind of blindly trusting. So I'll let you know how the laser. But I could tell I needed more than just, like, a hydrafacial, like I was looking for. I honestly have no idea. I'll keep everyone. I'll keep everyone updated.

[A]

Yeah, I'll be curious to know. I want to get Botox so badly, and it feels like a gray area with breastfeeding Botox. I haven't gotten it just due to, like, there's no studies. There's minimal studies to no studies. And why.

[B]

Guess it's, like, not priority. Of all the things they could be studying.

[A]

Just feels like there's so many doctors out there. Like, what if the other doctors could take it all? Like, what else are you doing with your doctorate? So I guess my fears are, you know, will it affect my supply? Could it get into the milk, which it feels like it's such a. Like, if. If she doesn't throw up. When I eat dairy and I eat way more dairy than I would ever have a little bit of Botox. I mean, it just feels like there's no studies done. So, yeah, I've talked to some, like, an esthetician about it, and she was like, it's. I. I know people who do it. It's up to you, though. Like, I will do it for you, but it's up to you. Yeah.

[B]

I will say Dr. K has told me that it just will make your. The babies are gonna suck the life out of you, so it's kind of an ROI issue for me.

[A]

Oh. Because they'll suck the life out of me because they.

[B]

Like, your Botox won't last as long because you're giving everything to the baby, which means, I guess, you're giving the Botox to the baby. So.

[A]

Okay, so better not so better. Maybe not worth my time, but goodness.

[B]

Anyway.

[A]

But you know what else? You gave me those frownies because I was gonna buy frownies, and you're like, don't buy frownies. Like, you be my frownies. They're not as easy as they make it look online.

[B]

Literally. I bought frownies. I read the. I couldn't even read the instructions. I'm like, what are you talking about? This is much too complicated.

[A]

Yeah. And it hurts to take off, and it's not as easy as it looks. They make it look so much easier, and I'm just.

[B]

I'm.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They're not.

[A]

So I don't know what to do. I'll just have my daughter suck the life out of me, I guess. Anyway. What were you gonna say?

[B]

No, I think that. I think. I think I've come full circle. I think you've gone on a few tangents. But, like, I think I'm. I think. I think I'm ready to, I guess, get started in the episode.

[A]

Okay, well, let's get. So you've got laser on Thursday.

[B]

I mean, you know, it's hard when we pre record because we're just so booked and busy. Like, I haven't even gone to Dallas yet.

[A]

Mm.

[B]

But I'm going tomorrow. But I'm going. That was Tuesday. It's just like we're time travelers is what we are.

[A]

So true, bestie.

[B]

You know? But anyway, on today's episode, I thought we could just catch up, do a little general banter, little dumps. I would like to touch base on last three.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I have a tariff. More tariff discussions, if anyone's interested. I'm gonna want, like, audience. I need some audience feedback on this, because I'm. It is. It is technically the hot tea. Just, like, political and, like, doctor of political analysts. Like, just Wasn't on my. It's not my resume. And it's like a. It's very complicated. And I just can't believe how sometimes people just. Not all journalists have integrity.

[A]

Yeah, I think that. I think most people would agree with you.

[B]

And I think that one thing about me is I would rather come. Like.

[A]

I just want.

[B]

Like, I just really try not to say stuff I don't know about, you know?

[A]

Yeah, terrorists would definitely be in the camp of things that I don't know anything about. So.

[B]

And I'm gonna summarize the articles that I read you. But like, I just know some people who are writing these articles. I'm like, you literally know. You have no idea. And how do I read two articles from two different well known automotive publications? And they say different things.

[A]

That's tough. Who's.

[B]

Yeah, I'm not gonna name names, but I will later, maybe. Stay tuned. You'll find out Anyway.

[A]

Well, I have something on my dump that I would like to talk about.

[B]

Wait, so where do we land on calling it ceiling events?

[A]

This is an event. This is just something that I've been doing and I think everyone would be interested to know about it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay. So for so many years, if I wanted to look up a recipe interior design outfit inspo, I would go to Pinterest, as we all do. I've started doing something different. And it's. It's with. It's with AI, you know, coming out and being able to do this. But if you go to the little on your Instagram and you go to the little search tab.

[B]

Okay, I'm gonna move this. Hold on.

[A]

Okay. It says ask meta AI or search at the top. It's your search bar. But you can type in easy dinner recipe, you can type in French country interior design, and then it will give you all the results on Instagram, which I actually like so much better than Pinterest because then I can find a real. Like, I was looking up baby purees because I really want to. Do I have to like, make all of Sloan's purees? So I was looking for puree ideas and then I found this girl on Instagram and then she. I liked her content, so now I'm following her. And I am now using Instagram like I use Pinterest and it's better than Pinterest and it's a bummer for Pinterest, but I'm loving it.

[B]

So here's what I want to say on that. Okay, I'm not talking to you. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I am back on Tick Tock. I'm not an active scroller, but I'm posting. And I'm posting because people are starting to use these social medias as their search engines. Like a Gen Z is much more likely to type in, you know, roast rest or pot roast recipe into TikTok than they are into even Google, which is crazy.

[A]

No, it is crazy. It is crazy. And Pinterest has not evolved. Like, I'm not. It's actually getting worse. I'm not seeing them integrate AI. Like, I'm not seeing my user experience be any better. It's just the same, same as it's always been. And I'm finding this Instagram search and probably Tick Tock has a similar feature easier to use. And then like all my stuff is saved in one place and I just, I've been enjoying everything about it. So I just realized it, I just noticed it. So I wanted to share with everyone.

[B]

No, it's very, it's very interesting. I have been similarly kind of on a chat GPT grind.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm really worried about the recipe bloggers if I'm being transparent.

[A]

Yeah. Why?

[B]

Because I was looking for a meatball recipe the other day.

[A]

Mm. You type in a chat GPT just like, remember my.

[B]

Now is there better ones out there? Sure. A basic. I just need to know like how much breadcrumbs to add. And I said, give me a meatball recipe. And then it gave me one and I was like, oh, I was gonna do half ground pork, half ground beef because what I had my freezer. So I said, I said, I have two. I said, give me a meatball recipe. I have two pounds of ground beef. Two pounds of ground pork.

[A]

And I gave you.

[B]

And he gave it to me. But out there's no ads. I'm not scrolling. I mean I'm just, I'm telling you, I think it's going to be tough. I think they've got it. I don't know. And same thing with this. Now do you notice when you go to Google and you like search something now it's like what's Google's girly called? Gemini.

[A]

Gemini.

[B]

They have a different name. It's so fun. Gemini is like literally just pulling things from articles and like she's giving credit. Like if you scroll down to the bottom, like she'll say like that was from this article. But like what's people's like SEO website traffic. Is it down?

[A]

Well, you know what, you have to check for that. The. Some of that Stuff though. What was it? I was searching the church, I was trying to find to see if. Oh, I was trying to call our church and so I was trying to see if they were open. And so I like typed in, I said, is this church open, open or hours or whatever? And it's like this church is closed down. St. Louis Archdiocese has shut down X amount and it was this Gemini version, but it combined two articles and one of them was about a bunch of churches in St. Louis being shut down. And then another one was combined with the hours of the church that I was trying to get and basically it jumbled it and told me that my church was closed, which obviously I knew it wasn't, but it's just interesting. I know.

[B]

That is interesting. That is interesting. I'm just, I'm just my. I'm thinking about the content creators.

[A]

No, and I agree, I agree with you. I do think that probably they've got some decent time because I don't think everyone is adopting it in that ways. But like ChatGPT is just where it's at. I have a weed growing and I didn't know what to do with the weed and so I took a photo of it and I sent it to ChatGPT. I'm like, what kind of weed is this? And go, that's not a weed, that's this thing. Do you want to get rid of it? I'll tell you how. If not, I'll tell you how to like make it grow more.

[B]

Yeah, it's kind of spook city usa. But you know, I always try to. I don't want to be afraid of the future because I'm not afraid of the future. I. It just similar to the tariffs, it's so deep, Elizabeth. There's just not a lot that I can do. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stop AI. I can't single handedly stop AI. I think there's ways I can like, you know, not incorporate into like my family's daily lives. I think there are ways I can incorporate to my daily family life. I think it can be, I think just like anything, it can be used for good, it can be used for evil. And I don't know, I don't really know what this means or where we go from here, but I like CHAT gbt.

[A]

I like it too.

[B]

And I think everything, I think everyone's okay right now. I think also it's just, you know, what's reality sometimes. And this was like a really Big exercise size I used during, like, Covid times when it was just like, everything. Five years since COVID Yeah. No, that's wild.

[A]

I know.

[B]

When just everything was like, so doomsy and like, you had to just like, get off your phone and you kind of had to like, like, ground yourself with your. And like, look. Look around at your reality for a second. And that's, I think, like one of the biggest problems people are facing is they're just not. It's like everyone's trying to be so in tune with the world that they're not in tune with their reality. Always.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's just like, you know, it's just like the saying, you know, I don't know if God ever intended us to know what was. I don't think we were built to.

[A]

Know everything going on.

[B]

Everything going on in the world. Like, we're not supposed to shoulder that burden. Like, there's like, only God supposed to do that. And here we are, like, trying to shoulder that. And.

[A]

And if you're like, enjoying life or doing something or laughing when horrible things are going on, you're like, oh, I shouldn't be enjoying my life because the horrible things are going on in another part of the world. And that's not. That's not what you're supposed to do.

[B]

You're not supposed to know.

[A]

You're not supposed to really.

[B]

I mean, really, when you know there's being well informed and then there's like worrying about your circle, your 10 mile radius.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, whatever.

[B]

Even. It's like 100 mile radius. Like, just take a beat. But anyway.

[A]

Anyway.

[B]

How'd we get here? How do we get out? I made a meatloaf.

[A]

Did you? I've never made meatloaf before.

[B]

Well, here's the thing. So I. I started making this, this meatball recipe, and then I realized I was knee deep in meatballs. So I had four pounds of meat trying to make.

[A]

I was gonna say when. That's a lot of meat.

[B]

No, it was a lot of. It was. It was too much meat. And I didn't have enough baking sheets, so. Because, you know meatballs you can't use, like, what are the sheets called? They don't have a lip. What do you call these sheets?

[A]

A cookie sheet.

[B]

Okay, then what do you call the ones with the lip?

[A]

A cooking sheet with a lip. A sheet pan. A sheet pan.

[B]

Okay. I think it's called. I think a cookie sheet is the flat one. And then I think it's called a jelly roll pan.

[A]

I really I've never heard a jelly roll pan.

[B]

And like, who's jelly roll?

[A]

What's happening? What's a. What is a jelly roll? Because I know the singer Jelly roll. Say a type in jelly roll in the singers who comes up and he.

[B]

Anyways, also, I couldn't you look that up? Why? Give some more context. So I couldn't make all my meatballs because I only had the flat pants. Not the ones with the lips. I only had one with the lip. So I had to order more lip cookie sheets.

[A]

How did you know that it was called a jellyfish?

[B]

Is that what it's called?

[A]

You know what? I saw this interesting Instagram. Okay, hold on, let me write this down. I saw this interesting Instagram and it was like. Are you saying the brand name or are you saying what it's called? I'm going to give you some one that they shared. Trampoline is a brand name. Oh, it's actually called like a rebound something. Rebound.

[B]

That's not true.

[A]

It's true.

[B]

Okay, stay focused on the. Focus on the pants. What is that lip called?

[A]

It says it's a jelly roll pan.

[B]

And then a cookie sheet's a flatty cookie sheet.

[A]

Jelly roll first cookie sheet. This is important. Yeah, you're right on it.

[B]

I was right. I was dead on it.

[A]

Jelly roll has a pant. Has a lip.

[B]

Now, did Gemini tell you that? Are you taking it from the horse's mouth?

[A]

Google Images told me that you can trust them.

[B]

Yeah, no, I can. Like, the band aids is a brand. Jello's a brand.

[A]

Jacuzzi is a brand. It's actually. Yeah, Hot tub. What was the other one? That sounds good. It was. It was. It was a good. It was a good listen. But I remember. Oh, Dumpster. Dumpster is a brand name. It's actually. It's called like a trash bin or something like that, but Dumpster is the brand name.

[B]

Wow, that's really deep.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So interesting.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

Well, anyway, I was thinking about maybe doing last three transactions where we share our recent bank account subtractions.

[A]

Okay, let's do it.

[B]

Oh, I also want to end this episode, just remind everyone that Easter's coming up and I wanted to share, like, our little Easter thing in case anyone else was planning on doing.

[A]

Oh, what the Easter Bunny did for us when we grew up.

[B]

Yeah, let's get that out of the way really fast.

[A]

Yeah, let's do it.

[B]

Okay. If you followed us a long time, you know, but it doesn't hurt to get a refresh if you're looking For a fun tradition. Right to your Easter Bunny today. Right to you, the Easter Bunny today. And when you tell the story.

[A]

So when we were growing up, the way that the Easter Bunny brought us our Easter baskets is we would wake up on Easter morning, and there would be string everywhere. And we would have to go to the starting position. And the starting position. We all had, like, a third of a string ball left, and we all had a different color. And we took our color and we had to follow the string and roll the string ball back up. And it took us upstairs, took us downstairs, took us outside. It took us in every room. It took us in a closet and back out of a closet. It took us everywhere. We would have to first walk to mom and Dad's room to, like, wake them up so we could all start at the same time. But, like, when we would walk from our bedrooms to mom and Dad's room, you felt like a spy going through lasers. This is a laser heavy episode. And the string would eventually lead you to your Easter basket.

[B]

So fun. Yeah. No, no. I mean, that's just it.

[A]

No notes.

[B]

That's just it. But it was just really fun, and it's a fun thing to do. And I. We've done it the last several years, and I think this year, especially at our new house, like, I. George is. George is going to work for it. I'm thinking barn and back.

[A]

You think you're going to tell the Easter Bunny barn and back?

[B]

I think George. I think George will think it's hilarious. And I think Hattie, which is. Should not be hard.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then, like, you know, then it's cute. And like George Helms, it's just. I don't know.

[A]

It's precious.

[B]

It's so precious. Anyway, working on that. Now let's get to the last three transactions where we share our recent bank account subtractions.

[A]

Okay, I'll start.

[B]

Yeah, please. Do you have phone charger? Could you do me a solid?

[A]

Sure. Don't.

[B]

What's your laptop plugged into?

[A]

Oh, yeah, I just plugged into it because that was a really good idea by Apple. I mean, annoying that we all had to change our phone charger, but everything. If it's not a usbc, don't give it to me. Okay, guys, I bought per the one with the suggestion on my pumping journey. I bought a pumpable breast pump and. Oh, my gosh.

[B]

With a pumpable breast pump.

[A]

It's called pumpable. That's the brand. Oh, that I showed you my pumpable. That I showed you today. Oh, my Gosh. It is the most compact travel charge with the USB C pump ever that I. It's the only one I'm going to use. I have, like, the Spectra one that plugs into the wall. Never going to use it again. This is. It was like $150. So it's kind of. I don't know if your insurance was covered or not. It's kind of the price, if not a little bit cheaper than some of the other pumps that are out there. Like, the reason I didn't get the spectra that is travel is because it was like 200, right. So this was 150. So compact you can wear it like a lanyard. Has a clip to go in your pants. It's amazing. And it works just as well, if not better than my Spectra. And I can't believe I'd never heard of it. And more people aren't talking about it, I think, ever.

[B]

I think Carrie Locker uses that one, like, exclusively.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

I always. I'm not sure it's the same brand, but I do see her always.

[A]

Like, I don't watch her very close.

[B]

Carrying something around her neck. So I do think people are familiar. And I couldn't believe that was your pump. I was so proud of you.

[A]

It's amazing.

[B]

I still just can't believe how much we've learned.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

That's kind of crazy.

[A]

So.

[B]

Good one.

[A]

Pumpable.

[B]

I mean, you're kind of a cow, to be honest with you. Like, I can't believe, like, the milk you're producing.

[A]

I know. It's really impressive. Most times in my life, I probably would have been offended if you call me a cow, but the way I take that as such a compliment, totally, like, dairy cow, like, should be living on stumpy farms.

[B]

Put you in the barn.

[A]

Put me in the barn.

[B]

Okay. Well, I bought something I'm super excited about. It's supposed to arrive today. Like, I. I am genuinely so excited for this. I bought a door chime.

[A]

Okay, which one? Let me see. Which one did you get?

[B]

Hold on. Oh, do you like. Are you familiar with the door time market?

[A]

Yeah, a little bit.

[B]

Do you have one?

[A]

Yeah, your. Mine is so loud, though.

[B]

Good.

[A]

So I have it turned off a lot of the time.

[B]

Okay. So here's the thing. So this is a door chime, but it has three. You can go on three doors. So basically you plug a thing into an outlet, like, and you're essentially located into your house. And then you can put these things on all of your doors. So Fred's a runner. Fred's a wanderer, and he's at, like, the worst age ever because I let the other kids, like, go outside, and then, you know, I, like, check on him. But Fred just. Fred frequently locks himself into a closet, locks himself in the garage, and lately he's just been starting to take off to the barn. And I need to know when the back door opens. I just need to know.

[A]

I think this is a very good purchase for you.

[B]

Yeah. So I am very excited about it. So I'm gonna, like, plug it in, and I'm gonna put it on. I bought three. I really probably only need two, but I don't know if there's, like, something else I want to put it on.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know.

[B]

I'm just playing around with it. But I'm very excited. Gets here today. I'm gonna set it up asap.

[A]

Okay. Love it. Text that link to Stephanie right now so we can have these in our. What we want to try and do is we want to drive our last three transactions in our show notes because we know it's, like, so annoying that we talk about these things and then don't.

[B]

I'm just gonna text it to you, and then it's gonna be your crossed a bear.

[A]

Okay. Because I text me.

[B]

Don't do all that.

[A]

Okay. What I recently bought, I needed new sneakers.

[B]

Totally. First of all, always, always.

[A]

And I was on a HOKA ground grind for a while. And then my last pair I bought, I brought. Bought. Brooks and Brooks are kind of making a big comeback.

[B]

Brooks are the. Brooks are for the girls who actually. Brooks, feel like you're an athlete. Like, you're actually using them to work out.

[A]

No, you are. When I ra crack in high school or cross country or whatever, I did, I. I did both. I wore Brooks. And I was always so embarrassed because, like, these aren't, like, cool Nikes or cool whatever we were wearing in high school. And I was embarrassed of my Brooks. But now they're, like, the. The cool shoe to have, and they're still expensive. Like, they're over a hundred dollars, but they're not as expensive as Hokas, and I think they're just as cute. And there's a lot of cute colors on Amazon.

[B]

Good to know.

[A]

So I bought. I brought Barks.

[B]

I'm on my kind of, like, on cloud, and I kind of select my Kizzix workout Chewies, too.

[A]

I don't have any Kizzix for working out.

[B]

Oh, well, I have a code coming soon if you want to hop on that.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

There's Nothing better than a mom who can just slip on a kissix.

[A]

Love a kizik.

[B]

Okay, my next one is I. You guys know, I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but, like, I'm kind of on, like, an eczema journey with Fred. I'm not sure. I probably haven't brought it up one time yet. We're switching up our laundry detergents, and I went with truly free.

[A]

Truly free. Have you used it yet?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

How's it do?

[B]

I think it does pretty good. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm, like, not the best at laundry. Like, a stain, like, just kind of. We just. We kind of stay stained in this house. If I don't catch it, it just doesn't. I don't really treat them a lot. I'm trying to get better, so I can't say I've, like, put it through the Ringamarole. I don't really know. I've only used it for a couple of loads. I haven't, like, tried to take a stain out with it, but, like, I have the other stuff still.

[A]

Yeah. So if you need it.

[B]

If I need it in a pinch. But, you know. Yeah. Like, for play clothes and jammies and, like, towels and stuff, like. Yeah, I washed it. It looked. It was good.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Just didn't smell anymore. It's kind of all I'm looking for.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But it's cool. So, like, I bought it off Amazon, and it just, like, comes with a. This empty jug with these three little powder packets. And you, like, make your own. So I'm basically a trad wife who makes their own laundry detergent. But all I do is taste. Take the solution and put it in hot water.

[A]

Yeah. There's an extra step. Yeah.

[B]

But it feels good. It's. It's like. It's like I'm. It's like I'm paying for, like, the feeling of, like, I'm making my own detergent. It's like. You know what I mean?

[A]

Huh? Totally. Okay, well, one of my last. Last. I have two.

[B]

How are you gonna pack?

[A]

I'm gonna say both because one of them I think is relevant, that people might enjoy, and one of them is just kind of something I want to talk about. I bought some. You've been telling me to buy these for a while, and I don't think I bought the ones you have, but the same concept. I bought magnetic blocks for James, and he loves them.

[B]

Good.

[A]

He loves them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's stacking, he's building.

[B]

I'M telling you, it's all the. It's. It's. It's the fun of blocks without the drama.

[A]

Without the drama. And you can't. Like, it's not. You could still. If you hit it, it's all gonna break apart. If you try and pick it up, it's all gonna break apart. They're not like such strong magnets that then you have, like, if you put them all together, you then have like a sword. Like, they're loose. They're not strong enough that it could fall over. But yeah, you know, and these are. Toddler can play with them.

[B]

These are not magnetiles. These are like magnetic blocks.

[A]

Yeah, they're just magnetic.

[B]

They're different.

[A]

And I also just bought a new grille.

[B]

Yeah, you were buying that. You were really checking out when I came over.

[A]

I was checking out and I bought a stainless steel grill. And I didn't know that there was cast iron grills and there were stainless steel grills.

[B]

So why'd you decide? Did Chatgpt just tell you that stainless is better?

[A]

Stainless? No. Here's what they told me. They said if you're looking for a cat, if this is, you get cast iron, and that is, like, you appreciate the temp. Like, it cooks it more evenly. You can get good sear marks and you're willing to put in the time to clean it. If you don't really care about sear marks or how evenly it cooks, but you want it to heat, you want it to cook quickly, and you want low maintenance, then you should get the stainless. I need to add a new mic stand to my Amazon car, guys. Kelly, how'd you just break that? What happened? Just hold it.

[B]

Honestly, barely kicked the mic stand and it. Okay.

[A]

Anyway, I got a stainless steel grill. Still greats.

[B]

Okay, well, my last thing that I transacted with was I was working on the Easter. Me and the Easter bunny were working on Easter baskets, and I wanted to get. Hattie's an activity girl. She likes activities. You know, she just. She likes to do stuff. And I was scrolling, and guess what I came across.

[A]

What?

[B]

A light bright.

[A]

A light bright.

[B]

You remember light bright?

[A]

Yeah, I do.

[B]

I bought a light bright.

[A]

You think she'll like it?

[B]

I don't. I. I'll like it.

[A]

I don't care.

[B]

I'm so excited about it.

[A]

That light bright advertisement lives rent free in my head. Or how about the one that had the rainbow color? The rainbow?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, the rainbow paint.

[B]

It's like they walk so tick tock could run because, like, where is that. Where is that stuff?

[A]

Yeah, totally.

[B]

So, yeah. Light bright.

[A]

Light bright. You know, it makes me think of things that. Just hold it, Kelly. Just hold the mic stand. We're like, halfway through this. No, no, no, no. That sounds terrible. Don't hold like that. Hold it on the stand. That's better. Thank you. Makes me think of things that we had growing up, like light brights.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

At the Just Between Friends sale, I bought three DVDs because I. And they also need to buy a DVD player. I'm gonna get a portable DVD player and that's going to be my travel screen time.

[B]

No, I love it.

[A]

So do whatever you want to do with screen time. I don't care. This is how I'm doing it. I feel as though a TV feels different than a phone and a tablet. To me, they feel like they're in more control when they have a tablet and a phone. Phone. And kind of. It's this. The world is kind of their oyster. They can do whatever they want to do. And it's more. It kind of quenches that instant gratification a little bit more than like the tv. So what I've decided. But I also know that we travel or we're going to be out and about and I'm would really, really like to try to not give them a phone. That's just what I'm trying. Whatever. So I'm going to get a portable DVD player and it's going to be.

[B]

Like, such a good idea.

[A]

Oh, you guys want to watch something? Okay. You have three choices. And it's the three DVDs that I randomly bought at this resale situation. And I'm gonna. And that's. That's. That's my attempt.

[B]

I'm inspired. I'm inspired.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

I might try it for myself because.

[A]

Like, how many times did we. We re watch Shrek? We probably wouldn't have watched it so many times, but that was the DVD that was in the freaking car.

[B]

Screen time is such a. Such a topic. My problem is there's days where. There's days where they. Our kids get no screen time. Like, they're outside ding to dong. They're doing all the play. And then there's days where it feels like, oh, that might have been a little too much. Like, it's just hard.

[A]

Yeah, it's really hard.

[B]

And I think it's always evolving, you know?

[A]

Yeah. For sure. And you.

[B]

But I do. It's totally the difference. Like, it's so interesting that we're at a place where it's like, well, TV versus tablet, like it's a totally different conversation, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I don't really have any updates on that.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, mom recently told me that she used to put me in a swing. She would wake. I'd wake up at like 5am When I was a baby. She'd put me in a swing and turn Barney on and then go back upstairs and go to bed. So. And I turned out okay.

[B]

Yeah, you turned out great.

[A]

And that was maybe not a very good parenting decision, Chris. But I turned out fine, I think.

[B]

Crystal. Yeah, I don't know because. Yeah, I don't know.

[A]

I just, I don't. I think that there's. This goes back to the same thing that we've kind of talked about, but I think that there's like a million other decisions that you make on a day to day basis that is going to affect.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How your children turn off way more than whether or not you let them watch a DVD player or a tablet. Like, you just got to do what you do, what works best for you.

[B]

And that's what's so stressful. Like one thing that Tyler and I've been talking a lot about and I think like the older my kids get, the less I'll share about like the specifics of my kids, like just for like their own totally like privacy.

[A]

I get that.

[B]

But I'll say this. Like, one of my big kids is super confident and I feel like one of my big kids is not as confident. And I feel like I'm incredibly confident. And I just, I think confidence is like such. That is just like one thing that I really want my children to have because I just think it's wanted to be confident in themselves. But you're like, how do you teach confidence without being like gassing them up and being like, you're so amazing? Because I also don't want to do that, but I want them to be really confident.

[A]

Well, I think you gas them up in honesty. So I think that, that you know, if George is really advent really adventurous but maybe not so creative. Which that's not true because he's really creative. But this is just an example. So if he's. Then you really lean into that and you're like, man, you're so adventurous, you're so brave. Like you really gas him up on those areas. And then you don't. You don't also then say, wow, you're the best artist I've ever seen. When he's like, literally has no talent in that area. Like, I Think you just be honest and love them and tell them that they are beautiful. Like, I think that there's nothing wrong with telling your kid that they are beautiful if that's. Obviously, that's what we think. Like, I'm just trying to think back to me, because we were so close. There was a time where, like, I had braces and had just gone through my growth spurt. It was actually when I was in eighth grade and you were a freshman, and then Kelly developed earlier than I did and, like, didn't have braces and always had, like, a blowout and was just, like, really hot.

[B]

No, I looked.

[A]

You were really hot.

[B]

I told mom that on the phone that I said the summer going from eighth grade to freshman year is honestly when I got a lot of confidence because I finally wasn't this, like, lanky, tall girl anymore. Yeah.

[A]

And so I remember you came with mom to pick me up from school one day, and, like, all the boys were like, ooglyn oggling at my big sister. And so it's like, yeah, you could. Yeah.

[B]

Really?

[A]

So, like, you could say, and you know what? This is. This is weird, but we'll get into it. We always said, like. And I don't know if people are gonna take this the wrong way or not, but we would always say, like, we're different kinds of beautiful. Like, Kelly really was like, smoke show, like, hot girl.

[B]

What?

[A]

She what? Maybe once you get your laser, you know, get those spots taken off your face, you were smoke show hot.

[B]

Wow. Thank you so much.

[A]

Yeah, I. I don't think I would have ever described myself as hot, but we always said, but you're. I'm a different kind of pretty, and I'm. I'm like, you are beautiful. Kelly's hot, and I was beautiful. And, like, you don't know it unless you understand that.

[B]

Or did Mom.

[A]

No, we said that.

[B]

We said that. Yeah.

[A]

I think mom affirmed it.

[B]

Well, I think mom also would tell us we're both beautiful, but. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, I don't think mom tells you you're hot. Now that I'm reflecting, this was an internal conversation.

[B]

This was between me and you.

[A]

This is between me and you.

[B]

Weird combo to have. But. Okay.

[A]

Weird combo to have. I don't know. All I'm saying is that that was true. And I could see that, and I could understand that. And so, like, I knew that we were different kinds of beauty, but I still had a beauty in my own way. And therefore, I was confident. I. And I wasn't trying to compare to you because I didn't have your kind of beauty. I had my kind of beauty. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So tell your kid that they're good at things and they're. They're beautiful. If those things are true.

[B]

And if they're hot.

[A]

And if they're hot, tell them they're so. I don't know. Follow us for more parenting advice. Gosh, Elizabeth, that.

[B]

We said that all the time. We are so weird. We were so weird.

[A]

Yeah. Thank God we didn't have a podcast back then.

[B]

Any good news is now you. I think you now you're a smoke show.

[A]

You just call me a cow. Not. Not the tapes.

[B]

Don't label your. Let's not put labels on ourselves. Anyways, let's get out of this conversation and let's go talk about tariffs.

[A]

Maybe. Yeah, that sounds like a better place to be.

[B]

Okay, so now it's time for the. What's it called? Industry news, where I spill the hot tea going on in the auto industry. Now, this is what day is today? April 3rd. Yeah. I feel like so many things could have happened by now, but I do feel as though my prediction is like, the tariffs did go through. Like, I don't think we're gonna get like some like, crazy weird extension that we got the last time. Here's what people are saying. Trump said he couldn't care less if automakers raise prices for tariffs. This is from Automotive News. President Donald Trump said he couldn't care less if automakers rise car prices in response to the planned tariffs. He said, I could care less if they raised prices because people are going to start buying American cars. I hope they raise prices because if they do, they're going to buy American made cars. I couldn't care less. Two more times in his lengthy answer. So also is it isn't so? This was also so interesting. You know how people say, like, I could care less if we did that? It's. I couldn't care less. And you have to be careful about that.

[A]

No, I think that makes sense.

[B]

But some people are like, where should we go to dinner? Oh, I don't know. I could care less.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's like, no, you couldn't care less.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because if you could care less.

[A]

Yeah, you would.

[B]

You do care.

[A]

Yeah. Because there's room to care less.

[B]

Exact. Exactly. So anyway, not. Not Donald Trump, though. So now it's just this, it's this theory of, you know, everyone's speculating what's going to happen, but one theory is like, well, that means the imported cars are going to be more expensive. So the American cars are going to be cheaper. But then some economists are like, or all the car prices are going to go up because the American cars could.

[A]

Go up in price also create a higher demand for American cars which will therefore make the price go up, which.

[B]

Can make the price go up. And technically it's like, well, American cars, why if, if you're thinking about it from like let's say the, their only driving factor is profit, which I'm sorry, for these manufacturers, they only care about profit. Like let's just call a spade a spade. Why would you not raise your prices?

[A]

Yeah. If everyone else is doing, if all.

[B]

The imported cars are going to raise.

[A]

Their prices and you can get a, you know, few extra thousand dollars.

[B]

Why wouldn't you?

[A]

Why wouldn't you?

[B]

You could still be the cheaper one, but you should, they should raise their prices.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So like that's just interesting. Now the other problem is, but now I say that no manufacturers have said they're going to raise their prices yet. So a lot of this is just these dealers being like, you know, prices are going to go up. Even, even, even these articles, prices could go up. Prices could go up, but we don't know in what capacity. We don't know how soon.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Now if they do go up, if they do go up, everyone's ever either going to go to the used car market because used cars are exempt from tariffs. It's like people do not know that because used cars are already here. The whole tariff is like things that are incoming to this country. Used cars are set. Now what gets tricky, tricky is parts are parts imported parts are also going to be higher.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you're going to be mindful about, you know, you don't want to buy a car and then like all the parts are so, so expensive. Like, you know, you know what I mean? Well, of course that's just part of it. But then if the used car market, everyone goes towards the used car market to avoid the higher, let's say, let's say waterfall effect. Let's say manufacturers raise the prices of new cars because of the tariffs. So everyone looks at the used car market. Everyone buys at the used car market. Well now used cars are high. So like it's, there's a lot of like waterfall somersault effects that could happen. And I'm just sticking, I'm doubling down and I'm sticking to my guns as like, I do think, like I don't want the fear of tariffs to cause a bigger impact than the terrorists themselves. And like what People think might happen. So then to pivot I went to. Yeah, you know, this is just people like talking like this is an article from abc. Should you plan on buying a new car before the auto tariffs take in effect April 3rd? And it says ABC like spoke to all these people and they said Dan Ives, the managing director of equity research at the investment firm Web Bush predicted a general tariff related price for US buyers between 5 and 10,000 per vehicle. Like, who is Dan Ives? Yeah, he's just, they're just predicting, like they're just predicting things. I just want everyone to be. And that's why I think this is, can be a difficult topic for, for me to cover because I'm not in this for like the clicks on my website. Like I'm, that's not why we're doing this. I'm just genuinely trying to gossip about it. And the gossip is like all the journalists are blowing this. They're not blowing out of proportion because it is serious. But it's not, it's, it's, it's fake news. Like this isn't happening yet.

[A]

Yeah, it's speculate. It's all speculation. Speculation. Yeah.

[B]

I'm gonna keep going. Okay. Okay, then you can give me some more words. So then courage.com courage is this company. They like, they have a lot of different things. Like they, they help. They have like a car buying service, they, whatever. They do a lot of good videos. But they built this thing called a vehicle tariff checker, which I thought was interesting. So you type in a VIN number and it tells you like where it's manufactured, if it's going to be impacted. But then it's confusing because like, so for example, I typed in the VIN number to a RAV4 2025. RAV4 manufacture country, Canada. This vehicle is impacted by the 25 tariffs are on April 3rd because it's produced in Canada recommendation consider purchasing soon. 25 tariffs on imported vehicles may be potentially increasing prices by 3 to $12,000. Yeah, potentially, maybe. But then I like this other article is like, no Canadians, Canadian cars are exempt because of that one trade act that I read last time. And I know you got. I mean listen, like if I, if this was my only job, like I would, I would get down to the bottom line and like, but I just like I, I literally cannot research this anymore.

[A]

Well, we're also talking about it like literally days in advance. So it's kind of hard to know what's going to happen. I just, I don't know. I don't know what the greater, like, play is. And I guess it's to have more American made cars. But like, that's like we said earlier, like, that's going to be a supply and demand thing. So then cars are more expensive. So.

[B]

Yeah, I really, I, I don't know.

[A]

And like, are the American brands like, hurting that badly that we need like tariffs on all the other ones? You know, I, I don't know.

[B]

Well, I think you also have to, I think another part of the bigger conversation is like, get out of your head what you think is an American car. Because, like, don't.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Ford, Chevy and Stellantis are not the Amer quote unquote, like a lot of cards. A lot of cars are made in America.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So Courage also has a list. If you can go on their website, it says every car made In America in 2025, there's 117 new vehicles made in America. Let's see. Do you want to like, give me a car.

[A]

Here?

[B]

So like, Santa Fe is made in Alabama. Honda Pilot is made in Alabama. GMC Yukon is made in Texas. So there's, I mean, there's a lot of cars that are made here. Overall, like, I think luxury cars are like, not in a great spot because I think, I do think a lot of luxury cars are made outside of the United States. Telluride is made in America. Jeep Wagoneer is made in America. But all the BMW SUVs are made in America. So 100, 117 cars is a lot of cars. Yeah, I guess I could look up like, which of our, like, major players aren't. But again, I don't know if that means the prices are going to. I just don't know what that means. But no manufacturer has said, yep, MSRP is going up by $10,000. No one said that yet. So everyone rest easy. And if a car dealership tells you that a price is more expensive because of the tariffs at this point in time, my recommendation is to go elsewhere and call around because that's not true. There's no reason for their car to be more expensive because of tariffs, as at this time.

[A]

Yeah, it's already here.

[B]

Especially if it's already here, literally here. So don't fall into that. And that's interesting news where I spill the hot tea going on in the auto industry. Now, Elizabeth, don't have me my phone back. I'm gonna pull up our ditch to the drive through today because I'm jazzed about it. I'm jazzed now. It's so timely too, because you just Got your instacart order, and you actually got one of the key ingredients needed for this. And it's not Tall boy Coors lights. Yeah.

[A]

What's up with that? My instacart gave me three Tall boys Coors lights, and, like, nothing was missing. That was the only added thing.

[B]

They were projecting. Maybe they meant to get it for themselves.

[A]

It was under. It was underneath. Chicken. Like, it was hidden, I should say. I don't think Debbie would have done that to me, though.

[B]

No, it doesn't sound like her. Okay. So I was making said meatballs. It's all coming up meatballs on this episode. Wait, did I ever tell you. Did I tell you about the meatloaf I made, too? Yeah, we started.

[A]

We started. Oh, I don't think we ever got to the meatloaf.

[B]

We got to cookie sheets.

[A]

We got to cookie sheets and deli roll. You made.

[B]

Anyway, I realized I had too much meat to make meatballs, so I said, what if I just form these into a loaf? Like, surely it's kind of the same concept. And you know what else I had?

[A]

What?

[B]

We had Primal kitchen ketchup, but I accidentally bought the one that was unsweetened without any honey. And that one's tough for the kids. Yeah, that one's tough. So I said, this will be the perfect thing to turn to a meatloaf glaze, because I just added a ton of brown sugar to the. No sugar added ketchup.

[A]

Perfect.

[B]

And it turned out scrappy cooking. Well, I haven't tasted it yet. We're having it for tonight for dinner. Okay. But anyway, I'm looking at the back of the breadcrumbs, and sometimes, like, the best recipes can be found on the back of food items.

[A]

Well, they're only putting the best ones.

[B]

It's just, like, so good. I wasn't expecting to see this on a breadcrumb. Cheesy zucchini boats.

[A]

Mmm.

[B]

First of all, I love the name boats in a recipe. 1 pound Italian sausage, 4 small zucchinis, trimmed and cut lengthwise in half. Garlic schnooks. This was the brand of breadcrumbs. Schnooks, Plain breadcrumbs, cheese, Roma tomatoes. So in a large skillet, you just cook everything up. You preheat the boiler, and then you, like. What do you call it? Like, scoop out your zucchini, put them in the oven, top it with your mixture.

[A]

Sounds great.

[B]

And your cheese. Yeah, it's a zucchini boat. Just like justice for zucchini boats. For zucchini in general.

[A]

Yeah. I just bought a zucchini because I'm gonna make your zucchini. Your fried zucchini.

[B]

Oh, this is kind of a small one. You should have gotten a bigger zucchini.

[A]

Well, Deborah picked out a small zucchini. I don't want to tell you that's Deborah again.

[B]

Projecting.

[A]

It's only for me. No one in my family's gonna eat except for me.

[B]

Really? Put it on. Put it on. James plate.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Well, guys, that's our episode. We went here, we went there, we went everywhere.
