[Kelly]

Welcome to the carpool podcast with Kelly.

[Liz]

Because our chickens are like free range, like four hour, four to five hours a day. And if I walk in the barn and like they accidentally walked into the barn, I just respectfully walk right back out. You know what? My plans aren't that important. I'll just. Or I'll send George in. Like, I. So I keep my distance.

[Kelly]

And Liz, one thing about me is I love having an opinion on things that I don't know a lot about.

[Liz]

Or really care about or care about.

[Kelly]

Honest with you just have something to say. Your mom. Time off starts now.

[Liz]

Welcome back to the Carpool podcast with Kelly and Liz. And by the time you're listening to this, your girl's jet setting, I'm in the sky.

[Kelly]

You are. You're on your way to Dallas tax.

[Liz]

Yep. Very last minute trip to meet with a brand who was like, can you come down? And I said, yeah, be there, be there, be square. So I'm super excited because I'm going. Our manager's going. Austin and Elizabeth was supposed to go, but.

[Kelly]

But like, I'm pumping every three hours and honestly, for 30 minutes, it just sounded like such an ordeal. Like, do I pump in the Uber? Do I have to like, leave the important meeting to go find somewhere in their office to pump? Like, the whole thing just sounded exhausting. And honestly, it's not something that you really desperately needed me there for. Like, Tyler will be fine. I would have love to have gone, but oh yeah. And Tyler's going, oh, yeah, Tyler's going. It was just, it was too much, so I'm not going.

[Liz]

Well, I had to pump. When I was postpartum with Fred, I had to Go to Detroit for a Buick event and it. It's totally doable. It's such a to do.

[Kelly]

It's a. It's a to do. I had to pump when we went to. Also went to Detroit. I was pumping. Maybe we were both pumping at the same time. And it's doable. And like, they're very accommodating with TSA and everything. When you have breast milk, like, that part is fine.

[Liz]

It's just, it's not the airline. It's just the, like, our itinerary is like tour of this campus and then a three hour sit down chitty chat. And it's like. Yeah, it's just, it's. I don't blame. You know, you would have been welcomed. Like our whole brand is about being a mom. So like we're. I mean, they're lucky.

[Kelly]

They're not.

[Liz]

They're lucky I'm not bringing my four kids, to be completely honest.

[Kelly]

Yeah, no, they would. Everyone would have been accommodating. It would have been fine. It's just like, I don't want to do it.

[Liz]

Mm.

[Kelly]

So we're not. But Kelly is. But by the time they are listening to this also, I will have lbcpsd.

[Liz]

Wow. Are you gonna change your Instagram bio?

[Kelly]

Totally. I not had a single reason to change my Instagram bio. I. I have. I have no credentials. I have nothing to put.

[Liz]

What should you put? You need to put three things. Like I'm. What does mine say right now? Cpst.

[Kelly]

I'm a mom. Animus. Cpsc and I'm a podcast host.

[Liz]

Andrew. Mine says mom. CPST and car buying expert.

[Kelly]

Okay, so I'll do mom.

[Liz]

Let me just threw that word out there and no one said anything, so. Okay.

[Kelly]

I. I think you've got enough hours logged under your belt, so. Huh.

[Liz]

So we're going to talk about car buying things today. I can't avoid the tariffs any longer.

[Kelly]

The tariffs?

[Liz]

You're getting a tariff recap.

[Kelly]

It's time to talk tariffs.

[Liz]

Unfortunately for me, I've been reading about it all morning. I'll say it for industry news, but.

[Kelly]

I have a lot of thoughts.

[Liz]

And it's. It's gonna be. It's. We're. We're talking on. We're talking high level. We're talking enough to keep. Here's like, here's how I want to equip my audience. I don't want you to be the one to bring it up because, like, it's not that interesting. And it's also kind of like a bummer convo. But I do want, like, if that. Like, if your friend. If your acquaintance husband, Mark, brings it up to Flex, I want to be able to shut down Mark real quick. Kelly.

[Kelly]

It's always Mark. You are always. Mark is like, you're always calling out Mark.

[Liz]

So. And yeah, I'm just saying, like, if you have a dinner auction coming up as. As lots of us do, don't bring it to the table as conversation. But if Mark is like, well, you know, I'm gonna. We're gonna buy a car because of the tariffs, I want you to at least be equipped enough to have an educated conversation. And that's all I'm hoping for.

[Kelly]

Okay.

[Liz]

But I'm going to very much present it in a way that's. They're going to want. You're going to leave them wanting more, and you're going to be like, yeah, I'm just not done. Like, you're going to love. You're going to love industry news. Stay tuned.

[Kelly]

All right.

[Liz]

Because I'm not just bringing the info. I'm bringing the word tracks, you know, and that's not something that everyone can do.

[Kelly]

The word track. The word track is important because we need to be able to say it to Flex and then. But we also need to get out of the conversation.

[Liz]

So it's. We're dipping our. We're totally, totally.

[Kelly]

Okay. That's. If one thing about me is I love having an opinion on things that I don't know a lot about or really care about. Just have something to say.

[Liz]

So anyway, we're talking about terrorists, and industry News List has ditched the drive through that she hasn't shut up about.

[Kelly]

And I've got some other things to say.

[Liz]

Oh, this was so funny. Someone wrote in, and I think it's kind of to replace. It could be to replace, like, the driveway dumps. Oh, but it's ceiling vents where we just vent.

[Kelly]

Ceiling vents. Oh, that's so good.

[Liz]

Or it's like dump is things we want to talk about. But, like, if you want to vent about something, then it's like the ceiling vents. The ceiling vents vents rhymes with. Speaking of rhyming, I know where you're.

[Kelly]

Going with this, Maddie. He's gonna be mad at me for saying this. Maddie has started dabbling.

[Liz]

Elizabeth. One second. Now it's time for ceiling bends, where we share our laments.

[Kelly]

No. Okay, I don't like that. Anyway, Maddie has been dabbling in the art of children's book writing, and he's gonna try and get one published this year because he has written two children books and they are excellent.

[Liz]

They're like, excellent, excellent. I didn't. I. Elizabeth's like, he's doing it. I'm like, oh, okay. Like, sure. You know, he's. Everyone, like, has. Has a couple of lines in their head that they've rhymed before. You know, like vents and laments. Like, I've been there, I've done that. She sent it to me. Instantly. Sweating in the eyes it is. Which, which I want to let him know I do have some notes. I don't love a sweaty in the eyes children children's book.

[Kelly]

Oh, I feel like I do. Really?

[Liz]

Because I feel like you don't read the sad ones.

[Kelly]

It's not sad, Kelly.

[Liz]

Okay.

[Kelly]

Anyway, let this be my, like, soft pitch that, like, when. Okay, here's what, here's, here's the plan. Here's the high level plan. Since we're talking high level today. Maddie wrote, he has two excellent children's books written. He wants to get them published. And my cousin is a fantastic artist and she said she's already on board for illustrating.

[Liz]

Now she's getting.

[Kelly]

Yeah, Audrey, she's getting surgery. And after. On her hand, of all things. So after she gets her surgery, we're thinking like, summer, they're going to illustrate it and then we're going to try and figure out how to launch it. And like, guys, I can't tell you how freaking fantastic they both are. So that's all I'm gonna say. But vents and laments reminded me of rhyming and how. And how talented. My husband is excellent at two things. Being a infantry marine and writing children's books.

[Liz]

Well, I want to talk about the. The topic of rhyming for a minute because I. I love, I love a rhyme. I really do. And Elizabeth can attest to this. I have some if I want my kids. Like, if I really want to drill something in my kids heads, I make it a rhyme.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

Okay. So like, for example. Well, first of all, I taught my kids my. My phone number by making a rhyming song. And I can't sing it to you because I don't want you guys to all know my phone number. But it's a bippity bop. Like, I will catch Tyler.

[Kelly]

Do we remember our old old Home phone number? 9099-9169-0909-1690.

[Liz]

That's my phone number. I know I don't remember how it went, but 91690.

[Kelly]

That was. That's what our mom taught us.

[Liz]

Our mom Taught us that literally. Pretty sure she got it from a parenting magazine. So I was like, I'm going to teach these kids my phone number. I sang it to and from day daycare pickup for like three weeks straight. And now it's like, hey, if you ever get lost, you go find an adult and you sing them this song. It goes nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah. That's my mom's cell phone. Can you call her on the phone? That is my mom's cell phone. It's a bop bop. So anyway, rhyme to teach your kids your phone number. I also, it's really important to me that when my kids go to a place or to our family, they go say hello to all the adults first. That was like a really big thing that dad instilled in us.

[Kelly]

Huge thing.

[Liz]

Like if we were pulling up to like Christmas with all of our cousins and we went and said hi to one of our cousins before one of our aunts and uncles, like, it was bad news.

[Kelly]

Straight to jail.

[Liz]

Like bad news bears. Like you were going back out to the car. It was not, it was not good. And for the whole drive there, dad would be like, when you get there, you go give hugs and hellos to all of the grown ups. Yeah, then you can go see your cousins. And I was like, you know what? I like that because I don't like sometimes when I, when kids just sneak in and like immediately. Especially if it's like at a place where you bring your kids. Like, like I would never want if, if one of my friends invites us over and my kids go straight down to their basement and start trashing it before saying hello to the adults. Like, I don't like say hello to.

[Kelly]

The adults before you trash to go.

[Liz]

Say hello to the adults. So I've developed a rhyme for George and Hattie. And you know, we're working out with Fred too. And it goes hugs and hellos to the grownups. You know, once that is done, you have fun. Kids can have fun.

[Kelly]

Okay. I've only heard hugs and hellos to the people, you know, to the grownups.

[Liz]

You know, once that is done, kids can have fun.

[Kelly]

Okay, I, I haven't heard the remix.

[Liz]

Now all I have to say, like, it's not the remix. That's the original. And now whenever we're in the car, I'll just say, George and Hattie, what are you going to hugs. And then they'll finish the whole thing. Now the problem is, and this is something that I've, I'm, I'm coming to. I'm. Maybe I'll ask Maddie. I would like an outro.

[Kelly]

I thought I. I came up with an outro for you.

[Liz]

No, we didn't like it. We. We next it something along the lines of, like, hugs and goodbyes to the girls and the guys. Didn't you say that?

[Kelly]

That's what I said.

[Liz]

But then what's. I. It's not polished. It's not as good as hugs and hellos. Hugs and goodbyes to the girls and the guys. Like, let them know that we'll see them next time. Like, is that just it, or is there something better there?

[Kelly]

I see. I see. No, I think that there's something better.

[Liz]

Can you take it to your husband?

[Kelly]

Yeah, I'll. I'll let him know. Maddie, if you have an idea, you can write into [e-mail] and Matni will get it over to Kelly.

[Liz]

Yeah. But anyway, I just. I like. I like a rhyme to really drill something into kids heads.

[Kelly]

Totally.

[Liz]

Let me look up like, tariff rhymes while, like, we're here, just, like, in preparation.

[Kelly]

Okay, perfect.

[Liz]

Well, and what's so funny is all of our segments rhyme.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

Hot Tea industry. Like the fact that T Pain could. Could rhyme mansion with Wisconsin and we could rhyme tea to industry. I guess. Mm. Do you know what song I'm talking about, though?

[Kelly]

No.

[Liz]

Wes Canson and a man. How does he do it? You know that song?

[Kelly]

I don't think I know the song. I don't. I don't listen to rap.

[Liz]

What? Liz, this was T Pain. Like, Bartender. Like, come on.

[Kelly]

Yeah, but I don't know. I don't know. Maybe the way you're saying it, I. I need to hear the rest of it. But anyway, Cal, I want to talk about something else. On my ceiling vents.

[Liz]

Can I get this out of my chest first, though?

[Kelly]

Sure. We're all gonna sit in silence until you get it done.

[Liz]

I can't read that fast. Okay, let's move on. The girls that know will know.

[Kelly]

Okay, here is something that someone sent us, which I think is so cool to talk about and car related. Do you know the origin of the Jeep wave?

[Liz]

Of the jeep wave. I really don't, to be honest.

[Kelly]

It's so interesting. So someone sent this us to us. And I fact checked it.

[Liz]

Is it military related?

[Kelly]

Yeah, just let me read it.

[Liz]

Okay. Sorry. Just like when I was like, get my gas out.

[Kelly]

I'm seconds away. The Jeep wave. The jeep was built in war during World War II. World War is hard to say. To aid in the movement of troops, supplies, and equipment across the rugged terrain, thousands of these vehicles were made. And when the war ended, many of these Jeeps were brought back to the States and were put to use by veterans of the war. While driving a Jeep down the road, coming towards another Jeep, most likely driven by a World War II veteran, each person would pay their respects to one another, holding up two fingers as a sign of victory to a sign of a voice which stood for victory when World War II ended. Over the years, unfortunately, Jeep owners thought it was just something that other Jeep owners did as a way to say hi to each other. So the next time you're driving down the road, do the Jeep, wave to another owner. Remember the great people who served our country.

[Liz]

Oh, my gosh. I had no idea.

[Kelly]

Is that so interesting?

[Liz]

Why don't I know that? And why isn't Jeep capitalizing on that more?

[Kelly]

It's so good.

[Liz]

Wow.

[Kelly]

Wow. Yeah. So that's like a fun fact. Like, that's something to bring to your dinner auction conversation with Mark when you're trying to defuse the tariff situation.

[Liz]

That will totally be on the next grade school trivia night. Like, if I've. And if you're in charge of the grade school trivia night, put that on there.

[Kelly]

Yeah, that's a good one. Another thing that this is. Honestly, I just, like, have read a lot of emails. I was reading our emails, Cal. Do you remember when we did X? Yeah. Okay, well, I opened up a couple of the X and they made me lol. So I want to read some icks.

[Liz]

Yep. And these are things like, for example, men in Christmas jammies. I like, I still to this day, I saw someone have the audacity to get, like, matching Easter family jammies. And, like, I was, like, hyperventilating. Like, I don't need to see your husband in a peep jammy. Like, I can't.

[Kelly]

I love. I love buying my kids holiday jammies, like, from little sleepies or something. But I have to put blinders on because they do make adult sizes and they will have male models wearing these jammies. And it honestly ruins the jammy for me. And I'm.

[Liz]

I'm telling you, like, when is like, when, kid, do I have to stop with George? Because, like, they'll come a time where he's too old to be wearing the matching jammies.

[Kelly]

I know we talked about this.

[Liz]

He's not there. He's not there.

[Kelly]

Yeah, he's not there. Anyway, I want to read the. I want to read the X. And unfortunately, they're just always, like, icky things that men are doing. It's all. It's always men related. So I'm sorry, guys.

[Liz]

Okay. That's okay. That's because, like, I mean, I don't know. Women aren't disgusting. Like, I don't know what else you want me to say.

[Kelly]

Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. Okay. Grown men eating an ice cream cone. Be a man and get a. Get a scoop and a spoon.

[Liz]

First of all, totally be an adult and get a. Be an adult and use a spoon. Ice cream cones are for children.

[Kelly]

Yeah. I'm not an ice cream cone person.

[Liz]

I think we should evolve past it. I don't need to see anyone's tongue working that hard in any capacity.

[Kelly]

Now. I do want to back up. I do feel differently when it's like a father cleaning up his child's ice cream cone. That's scoot. That doesn't count. That's fine. But if you're, like, a man and you're going to Cold Stone Creamery and you're like, I'll take cookies and cream in a waffle, go. No, I don't like it. I'm sorry. No. Okay. Another one.

[Liz]

I. Yeah, I don't like it.

[Kelly]

Adults wearing pajama pants in public to run errands. Yeah. I mean, obviously, we don't like to see men in jammies. This is just, like, across the board. Like, if you're wearing, like, plaid pajama pants and you're out running, like. Yep. Throw some leggings on, throw some sweatpants on, throw some jeans on.

[Liz]

To be honest, doesn't give me the ick.

[Kelly]

Oh. It gives me the mega ick.

[Liz]

Okay. That's interesting. No, I don't. I don't. I have. I don't feel X towards that.

[Kelly]

It's just like.

[Liz]

No.

[Kelly]

How hard is it?

[Liz]

I get it. I get it.

[Kelly]

It's. It's. That's interesting that that doesn't bother you when, like, you're truly so offended by men in pajamas.

[Liz]

I know you'd think it would be more, I even like a man in a plaid pajama. Like, yeah, he's not my cup of tea, obviously, but I'm not. I. I'm fine. I'm not, like, hyperventilating.

[Kelly]

Okay. I don't like it.

[Liz]

No. He was eating an ice cream cone.

[Kelly]

With his pajama pants. Okay. She says. I want to preface this one with the moment itself is lovely and amazing, and I think husbands and new dads.

[Liz]

Should do this if they want to.

[Kelly]

But when people post photos of their husband doing skin to skin with their newborn. I'm trying to see a beautiful newborn baby, not your husband's hairy chest and nipple. File this under moments that are too intimate that people should keep to themselves.

[Liz]

I couldn't agree more. I cannot. I couldn't agree more. I despise the skin to skin photos. I want to be clear. Like, I took them. Like, I have them. I'm keeping them close to my chest.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

Similar to the baby. It's on my chest. It's not for the public.

[Kelly]

I don't think. I don't even think Maddie did skin to skin. I don't even know if I would take a photo of that moment. Like, not everything has to be captured. Oh, yeah.

[Liz]

It just feels intimate.

[Kelly]

It feels intimate. It feels like you can do the skin to skin. If you want to take a photo and keep it to yourself, that's fine. But then, like, when you're going through the Rolodex of photos to post of your baby, like, get the. Get another photo of dad with a shirt on.

[Liz]

I would. I would love people to weigh in on that. And again, it's not. It's not the. The act of doing skin to skin does not give me.

[Kelly]

Excellent. You should do it.

[Liz]

It's the photo. It's the photo from the hospital where like the. The Muslim blankets, like, slightly fallen off and you got a nip shot of the day. I'm not. I'm not into that in any capacity.

[Kelly]

I don't like it. I like, love these eggs.

[Liz]

Imagine if he was wearing pajama pants. That would be crazy. Elizabeth would die.

[Kelly]

That would be literally so crazy.

[Liz]

Imagine if they were Christmas. I would have an aneurysm.

[Kelly]

Yeah. Don't like it. Don't want to see it. Not liking it.

[Liz]

I kind of like it. I like that we're kind of bringing like a spice, you know, Like, I would say this, like level two. This is like level two heat, you know?

[Kelly]

Yeah. For sure.

[Liz]

This isn't just like our mild sauce.

[Kelly]

Well, I actually think that's. That might be all the spice that I have. But we'll see where. Where the podcast takes us.

[Liz]

Well, something new on the Stumpy Farms front is we welcome 25 new residents to Stumpy Farms.

[Kelly]

Kelly, I saw that. So just pick them up from the post office.

[Liz]

I know. So we order these rainbow chicks now. I'm learning a lot about chickens. And one, that means I just. I one thing. I don't do birds. Like, I don't participate. I'VE gotten accustomed to my chickens because they don't bother me and I also avoid them. I like if I walk in the barn because our chickens are like free range, like four hour, four to five hours a day. And if I walk in the barn and like they accidentally walked into the barn, I just respectfully walk right back out. You know what? My plans aren't that important. I'll just. Or I'll send Georgian. Like I. So I keep my distance. I love the farm, fresh eggs. I love the kids going to get the eggs every day. It's just, it's, it's so. It's a children's book. It's amazing. It's amazing. I think I spoke before. We have a bit of a fox problem. We're working on it. We lose about a chicken a month to Mr. Fox, which seems like a fair tax to pay, to be honest with you. We see him multiple times. It was actually a very traumatic story when we were coming back from Arizona. We're pulling up our driveway, one of our chickens was out and we saw the fox take it down.

[Kelly]

Yeah, that's, that's hard.

[Liz]

The whole family, we're all screaming in the car. So we're fine. We've, you know, it's the, it's okay. We don't let them out and then that's not a good quality of life. Or you lose one. One once a month. I don't know. I'm open to suggestions. We have a dog. He doesn't do anything. So you might be. So we're. We tried to trap it during trapping season. We didn't get them. So here we are.

[Kelly]

Yeah. What do you do?

[Liz]

Tyler thinks he's going to start putting out dog food just like at the edge of the woods and just like maybe.

[Kelly]

Well, yeah, maybe you just give him an offering, a peace offering.

[Liz]

Well, like maybe. Like if I have a rotisserie chicken, I just throw it in the woods and I hope that. I don't think. I think that would probably. I think animal experts will tell me to do the opposite. So we'll see. Anyway, all to say, chickens also, though, you know, like there's not a 10 year old chicken that's laying eggs. So you do want to like get new chickens often, whether it's to a fox or to older age. Like they lay a lot, like the first two years and then like they start to kind of wind down a bit. So anyway, we order these rainbow chickens from Lebanon, Missouri, and they overnight them. So we ordered these chickens months ago, like they were they weren't even. It was like the concept of a chicken, like, it wasn't even. The egg wasn't even laid.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

And they're rainbow chickens. So they're all different breeds who lay these different eggs. That's why my eggs are colorful. So we ordered them, we've been tracking them. You know, they sent us a message like, hey, your eggs are supposed to hatch this week. And then the day they hatch, then like the day they hatch, we'll put them in a box. We're going to overnight them to your house. So interesting. So we get the notification. They go from Lebanon, Missouri, to Kansas City to St. Louis to, like, the post office closer to our house where we live. And the post office calls you at like, 7am they're like, we got your chickens. You got to come get them right now.

[Kelly]

Wow.

[Liz]

So I think they're only in the box for like, 12 hours, to be honest. Like, I don't think it's that long. And we live in a rural area, so we're not the only box of chickens there.

[Kelly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Liz]

They're like, oh, yeah. About time, you guys. We. We get there. It's. We got there at 7:30 this morning and they were like, yep, you're the fifth box we've had today. So, like, yeah, they're accustomed. So we got our chickens and. Very excited.

[Kelly]

I'm very excited for you.

[Liz]

So we have 10 layers right now, so we still. In the winter, they don't lay as much. So we're only getting like six eggs a day. And these 25 chickens, they should start laying like four to five months. But they're going to be inside for a long time. Like, we're going to give them a fair shot.

[Kelly]

Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure. So exciting. I love your, like, trad wife life that you're living.

[Liz]

Yeah, it's like trad wife, but in a I. In like a Target pickup kind of way.

[Kelly]

Totally.

[Liz]

It's like a dip. I'm just. I'm. I'm dabbling.

[Kelly]

I think that's kind of where we're all trying to be.

Shop now in store stores [e-mail] and it kind of brings me to the next ceiling bent I wanted to have. And it's kind of a update for old Fred's for Fred and his eczema. And I'll keep it really brief because it's like I'm not going to get like super granular. But I just, I explored multiple different options with the eczema and I wanted to hear what the dermatologist said, what the allergist says, what the functional metal doctor says, what the chiropractor says, what the mommy blogger trad wife says. I just like wanted to know, like because what's so interesting about eczema, I think this goes for a lot of, you know, autoimmune diseases or just any diseases in general is I just can't believe how literally they all disagree on everything about it. Like they all can't even agree on, like, the same root cause. It'd be one thing that they were like, oh, yeah, here's what causes it. You know, we have different treatment plans at work with eczema. They are literally all over the board.

[Kelly]

Mm.

[Liz]

And it's just like. And I got to the point where every time I interviewed, whether it be a doctor or like someone's eczema program or the allergist, I want you to be like, okay, why don't you tell me why you think the other side's wrong? Because they told me the reason they think you're wrong. So, like, I want you to. I literally be like, I want you to tell me why you think the holistic approach is not a good approach to go. And for the holistic approach, I want to tell me why you think you don't like the. The standard medicine approach. And I'm just an information gathering monster. I'm their worst nightmare.

[Kelly]

It's. You're asking high mileage questions.

[Liz]

I'm asking high, high mileage.

[Kelly]

High level. Yeah.

[Liz]

Like, don't. I want you to give me. And I caught some of them off.

[Kelly]

Guard, but that's okay because, well, then I got it. Yeah. They're gonna give your honest answer. I'm so with you. Like, I will ask so many questions.

[Liz]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

And I think that, I think that's smart. And I, I think it kind of goes back to you saying when someone says, like, hey, I wanna. I. What car seat should I get? And they're like, oh, well, I have this one. It's like, well, why'd you choose that one? Just like those very, those open ended high mileage questions. I think, like, in any phase part of your life are important to ask.

[Liz]

Because I don't just want to know why. What? I want to know why you chose to go this route instead of that route. And if you didn't get the other route, then I, then I, then I put your opinion on a lower level. Not disrespectfully, but it's like, well, I, I've heard all these opinions. Like, you heard the one and just went with it. Not me. I'm called, I'm. I'm informed, I'm researched. So anyway, I'm really not going to share Fred's treatment plan for the simple fact that like, what is, what is or is not going to work for Fred. I just don't want. Similar to the breast pump, I don't want anyone to know. I don't want anyone to go buy a cream or Do a treatment and then it not work for you and you waste your money. Like, I think you need to go. We've done. We've done stool samples, blood work, allergy tests. We've done everything with Fred. And the treatment plan is very specific to Fred. But one thing I did, I finally found, I was like, so I understand that eczema, the holistic side, the more natural, functional medicine side, is very much like, it's in the gut. It's leaky gut. It's all about the gut. And that's where they encourage all these, like, diet changes. I think there's some truth to that because, like, why wouldn't there be? Because, like, sure, like, whatever. I think that you could change some things in their gut and maybe have some appearance in the skin. But the dermatologist allergic side has these recommendations for these steroid creams which have. Which can have harsh side effects. Additionally, Fred has eczema on his face too, which. So they can't go on their face. So that route didn't really make sense for us. But then there's this other thing called Dupixit, which is a shot. It's a monthly shot that you take. And I have done so much research and cried so many tears over it. So I really don't need anyone other than. Don't even bother me sending me your opinion. But I got to thinking. I was like, why can't I not go on the dupixent so my son stops waking up crying, scratching every night while healing the gut. Why can't I do, like, is anyone trying to walk the line of both? So I finally found a functional medicine doctor keyword. She's an actual doctor. PhD. Not just, like, someone who tried this thing and rubbed a beef towel on their kid. And this. I'm not being hateful. I'm just saying, like, there's different levels of this. And I was like, listen, I'm going to put him on Dupixent because I need some relief. I'm also willing to, like, let's. Let's go off of your probiotic restrictive diet and let's do both at the same time.

[Kelly]

So very much in a way that you're not going to share what you're doing for Fred. You're going to directly come out and share what you're doing for Fred.

[Liz]

Yes. But I'm. I'm very proud of myself.

[Kelly]

I'm proud of you, too. You've done your diligence.

[Liz]

I did my diligence and I have, like. And I just think there's also a level to it and just something that has really frustrated me. And I think this applies to people who have, like, even way more serious conditions than eczema. I think sometimes we need to watch the advice we give when we don't have the whole story, because just like, when I would share about it and people in my personal life would even be like, have you taken them to a chiropractor? It's like, obviously, like, that's. Have you tried, like, a breast milk bath? Like, obviously. It's almost like such an intelligent. It's such an insult. It's like my mother, like, to my intelligence. Intelligence and, like, abilities as a mother to think that I wouldn't try, like, try and exper. Explore all those options. And I'm like, you. We are so past that stage. I mean, his body is covered in eczema. He scratches till he bleeds every single day. I'm going to cry talking about it. I don't want to cry.

[Kelly]

No, it's terrible. And I understand where your frustrations come from. I do think that people are probably just saying it out of not really knowing how to react and not really knowing what to say and, like, trying to offer a solution or, like, make conversation because it's kind of like a downer topic, but because it's just like.

[Liz]

They'Re trying to have fun at the trivia night.

[Kelly]

They're like, can we talk about tariffs? Okay. It's eczema talk. Yikes.

[Liz]

I'm sorry. I'm done. But, yeah, I guess I accidentally ended up sharing everything, so we actually haven't started it yet, so I could still change my mind, but I feel really good about this new holistic or functional medicine doctor who was supportive of. Of my plan.

[Kelly]

Good.

[Liz]

And she's like, you know, it might be a little harder or take longer to identify the root cause if he's on the shot. But she's like, I totally get it.

[Kelly]

He's got quality of life matters, and he's not. He's not. It's not good right now.

[Liz]

Yeah. And, yeah, anyway, I'm gonna crash.

[Kelly]

How do we transition out of this one?

[Liz]

How did we get here? How do we get.

[Kelly]

Do you want to talk about tariffs now?

[Liz]

No. Okay, so let's move into tariffs. So this is now where I spill the hot tea going on in the auto industry. And, you guys, I received multiple DMS asking, like, why I haven't talked about it. Like, let me be clear. I am being so for real when I say it is because I have Literally not had the time to sit down and read it. If you can't tell. I've kind of been going through something. So. The tariffs are so incredibly complex, changing every single day. I will spend 40, and I'm not a reader, I will spend 40 minutes listening to a podcast or 20 minutes forcing myself to read this article. And it is all over the place. And it's also speculation now. Not the tariffs, the tariffs. I mean, if Trump said he's doing it, he said he's not backing down. So like the tariffs are, are happening. What it means for, and that, let's be clear, is out of our control. I mean, at this point in the game, like there's nothing we can do about it now, what it means for the auto industry, incredibly up in the air. I think the fear of tariffs are going to be worse than the tariffs themselves, or I think they're going to have a more of an effect on what's actually going to happen to inventory than the tariffs. But April 2, tomorrow a 25% tariff goes into place on all cars. Okay? Now every car is going to be affected a little differently because some cars get built in the United States and some cars do not. And it's, it's all over the place in terms of like manufacturer. So like some manufacturers will have some cars here, some cars there. It's not across the board. All Fords get built in the usa. That's not how it goes. But Car and Driver did a great article on how the 20 tariff on imported cars will affect every single model. Now there's two, there's two layers to this tariff. Okay? One, it's the car. There's 25% tariff on the cars coming later. There's going to be an import on the parts to build said cars. And that's where things could get like, like really not fun because it says so. Nearly half the cars sold in the US Are imported. So it's going to, this, this first tariff is going to affect 50% of the cars. 60% of car parts are imported to the United States. So that's things like engine, all the parts get imported and then assembled here. So then like some cars are going to not get the vehicle tariff, but then they're going to get the car part tariff. So it's just, it's a cluster. It's a cluster.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

But this car and driver goes through every single manufacturer and says like, which cars are built? So I'm not going to read every single manufacturer, but like, tell me who you want to know.

[Kelly]

Hyundai.

[Liz]

Hyundai builds the Ioniq 5, the Santa Cruz and the Santa Fe in the United States. Tucson production is split between US And Mexico. The rest of Hyundai's lineup is imported from Korea. So like cars that wouldn't get the tariff, Ioniq, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe. Okay, now there's a lot of talk about Canada and Mexico and for this first round of tariffs for what is happening now, the first round of tariffs for the vehicles will not affect the vehicles that are imported from Canada and Mexico because it says. This is from the ap. The Trump administration is exempting from the tariff cars, light trucks and auto parts that qualify for the duty free treatment under the US Mexico Canada Agreement. Original trade impact the president negotiated five years ago. So we'll call it a loophole. Now the car parts, different story. But to my understanding and to what I have researched, the cars coming from Canada, Mexico are a. Okay, for now. When the parts tariff goes into effect, it's going to be different.

[Kelly]

Okay.

[Liz]

Okay, here's who's screwed. Ferrari made and built in Italy. 25 on them monkeys. Sorry, who else do you want to know? Let's do Ford. Ford builds the Bronco escape, Expedition Explorer F150, F150 Lightning, Mustang and Ranger in the United States. The Bronco Sport Maverick and Mustang Maki are built in Mexico.

[Kelly]

So it probably doesn't really affect our audience.

[Liz]

Who else do you want to know? St. Nissan. Nissan builds the Ultima Frontier, Leaf, Morano Pathfinder and some Rogues in the United States. Everything else is built in Japan.

[Kelly]

And where. This is what, what website is this on for people to reference back to Car and driver. Car and driver. Okay, so this is, this is interesting.

[Liz]

But like let's do the name on everyone's lips. Tesla. All Tesla sold in the United States are assembled here. So like Tesla is going to be uninfected. However, PSIT prices could still go up with the tariffs that go into effect on the vehicle parts that Tesla imports to the United States to assemble their cars. Okay, now if you're like, why is all this happening? The hopes and dreams of this administration is that then everyone brings their manufacturing to the United States. Like that's the long, that's the long term play here. It's like, no, we're going to assemble them here. That could take years and years and years and years and years.

[Kelly]

Yeah, but that's the vibe.

[Liz]

So here's what's, here's what's. So if Mark's bringing it up, first of all, you tell Mark you can pull up this, this if you want to know, it's because it's on 50% of cars. 50% of cars are imported. So 50% of cars are not going to receive those tariffs, first of all. Second of all, be aware that there are two different tariffs that are going to be happening. Under no circumstances should you go out and buy a car right now because you think prices are going to go up. And like, that's my main message to the community and to the audience. If a dealership is trying to tell you that they are not negotiating or that this deal is only good for a month because of the tariffs, you should go elsewhere. Everything you're. That is a sales tax. That is a scare tactic. Everything is speculation. No manufacturer as of this moment has come out and said they are going to raise prices. Like, that's not a message that we have right now. So for these dealers and you know, or, or for anybody, it's a headline. Everyone wants that. They want you to click on the headline, even the car and driver 1. How 20 tariffs on all important cars will affect every model. I mean, okay, that's not that clickbaity. Honestly, that's pretty honest journalism. Good job, Car and Driver. I just. So, anyway, even if there's a 25% tariff, that does not mean the car price is going to go up by 25%. Additionally, you kind of just kind of have to let them. The market sees what's going to happen because it's not every car. And they can't just, they can't like, cars that are affected. They can't just raise their price because the cars that aren't affected, like, then everyone's just going to buy the cars that are 25% cheaper. So don't panic.

[Kelly]

Buy.

[Liz]

Also, this could all be gone by tomorrow. We've seen this. I mean, I feel like we've been down this rabbit hole one time already.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

Yeah. Do you have any questions, like a layman? Like, is anything like, standing out to you?

[Kelly]

Well, I guess. Okay, so like, we, we saw this happen once before where we were nervous about terrorists, but then, like, is there, is there a negotiation? Is this a negotiation? Is this like a threat? Like, if you don't give us this, then this is gonna happen like it was before.

[Liz]

Not clear.

[Kelly]

No, no, I, then I, yeah, well.

[Liz]

I think, can, I think there's room to negotiations with Canada and Mexico more. But no, this seems a little bit more. I mean, Trump could change his mind because, like, the economy of it all. But I don't, but I don't know. I And I don't know enough about this and I. I don't want you guys to think I don't care, but I can't do anything about it. And it's not like it's not going to change how you buy. The only, like, car buying advice I want to give you, is it. It should not be used as scare tactic or negotiation tactic. And it's worth you calling. There is still plenty of inventory. Now, if inventory gets slim like we saw during the pandemic, there might be some truth to like, oh, yeah, like, you know, they're allowed to jack up the prices. They're allowed not to negotiate the prices because there's. Because it's a supply and demand issue. There is no supply and demand issue right now. There is theories of things that could happen. And that's not a reason to not discount a car. So if a dealer is telling you that they're trying to see who is not educated, and not all dealers are doing this because, you know, there's good eggs out there. But if someone's saying that it's in an effort to scare you to buy the car at msrp, and we're not having that. Not, not my audience. We're too educated.

[Kelly]

Okay, well, thanks for the tariff talk. Yeah, it's like coming to my tariff.

[Liz]

Talk, it's just like, not, you know, things feel like a little out of your hands.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

I just don't know what I'm going to say.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

You know.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

I don't really.

[Kelly]

I don't really have much to say, to be honest with you. I don't really understand how about this.

[Liz]

Chrysler, because I've been kind of like. I was kind of like bashing on Chrysler the other day. Not bashing, but I was just bringing to the attention that Chrysler, like this household name, makes one vehicle right now, and it's a minivan.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Liz]

With horrendous headrest. Like, that's crazy. And it's built in Canada. No, come on, Chrysler, you can't even build it here.

[Kelly]

It's your one car. You can't. Crazy.

[Liz]

You can't figure out how to build your one car here.

[Kelly]

Maybe we should. Maybe on our vision board, we just need to, like, design the next minivan.

[Liz]

Well, people, you know, I've been thinking.

[Kelly]

About this the other day because.

[Liz]

We don't really, like, partner with manufacturers. It's just like, not the vibe. We're a little too outspoken. We're a little too off the hinges. Like, we're not quite. We're a PR nightmare. Waiting to happen. And it's just like I always want to be able to. I'm very much like, one day I like you. One day I don't. So, like, you won't ever see us. Like, I don't do like paid ads to talk about like the Mazda CX90. Like, I just don't do that despite the offers. But I was wondering, like, if anyone ever wanted to like co create a minivan, like, I would totally do that.

[Kelly]

Yeah, no, that's. Yeah.

[Liz]

And I'm just wondering, like, General Motors doesn't have a minivan to their name and I think there's an opportunity there. Gm. So if you're listening, like just out of your. You have. So you have Buick, Cadillac, gmc, Chevy, and none of them have a minivan.

[Kelly]

The opportunity is out there. Free idea. Hire us to help you design a minivan. Okay, Kel. Well, are you ready for ditch the drive thru where we give you an easy dinner recipe to mix it up to get you out of your dinner rut?

[Liz]

I really, really am.

[Kelly]

Okay. I have it. I'm so excited about it. So I was scrolling on cooking with the Midwest. Love that Instagram. And I was inspired by a recipe and what they did was they did like open face roast beef sandwiches on like Texas toast, like garlic bread. And I was like, can you just buy roast beef at the store? I like, I buy deli meat, I buy, I buy deli, I buy salami, I buy turkey, I buy chicken. Like, I buy all the deli meat. It's never once crossed my mind to buy roast beef.

[Liz]

Well, what is roast beef? Is it like a chuck roast that you just. I mean, I mean, so for real?

[Kelly]

Um, I don't, I.

[Liz]

It's obviously roasted beef.

[Kelly]

I don't know.

[Liz]

In some capacity. It doesn't matter. I get your point.

[Kelly]

Doesn't matter. I bought roast beef and I made. And I also bought hoagie rolls and I also bought provolone and I also bought like an au jus packet. And that's all I did. I put my, opened my hoagie rolls, put some olive oil and like salt, like garlic powder, just like give it a little bit of seasoning, put loaded up the roast beef, put some provolone on, put it in the oven for at 350 for like five minutes or something until it looked like it was ready. Make the a jus packet. Done. I made a salad on the side and it was excellent. I had it two nights in a row until I ran out of my, my pound of Roast beef. The roast beef is expensive. A pound was $14.

[Liz]

Yeah. So it's gotta be good.

[Kelly]

So it was good. So it was. It was really good. And Maddie. Maddie liked it, too. He said, wow, that was really good.

[Liz]

So I love just a hot sandwich.

[Kelly]

I love a hot sandwich.

[Liz]

And I think we're underestimating the power of taking deli meat and put it in the oven. And for. For a melt.

[Kelly]

I think we are.

[Liz]

You could go multiple directions.

[Kelly]

The possibilities. The possibilities are endless. And also, it's okay to have a sandwich for dinner. Sometimes I feel like I get. A sandwich is a lunch food, but.

[Liz]

Don'T let them put you in a box like that, Elizabeth.

[Kelly]

No, I know. I know.

[Liz]

They're wrong for that.

[Kelly]

It was so easy. It was done in five minutes.

[Liz]

And, you know, that's very much. It's a most or least kind of thing, because you could. You could sass it. You could do a horseradish mayo variety. You could. You could add some sauteed peppers, salad on the side. Or it's like, yeah, microwave your sandwich. I don't know. Do whatever you want to do. Put it in the oven if you're crazy.

[Kelly]

Here's my salad recipe, which I want to. It's one of my favorite salads, and I really like it when the weather starts to get nicer. So I do a baby spring mix.

[Liz]

And first of all, the baby spring mix is key.

[Kelly]

The baby spring mix is key. Then I. I chop some vegetables up. So I get peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, radishes. You don't need to get all of those. I just. I had. What I did was radish, pepper, and cucumber, because that's what I had. And chop those up, put them in your salad. And then I get the zesty Italian mix from the store. It looks. It's.

[Liz]

It's. You know what? They haven't done change since the 90s.

[Kelly]

It's excellent. It's. It's like a packet. It's like a race.

[Liz]

Someone is just riding that gravy train.

[Kelly]

Totally.

[Liz]

They're not worried about tariffs or nothing. They're just riding their seasoning mix, gravy train.

[Kelly]

It's. It's so much better than just buying it in a bottle. So. And then you just combine it with, like, vinegar, olive oil, and water, top it with your salad. It's excellent.

[Liz]

That's such a hack, babes.

[Kelly]

Excellent. So that was my Ditch the drive through. Okay.

[Liz]

Well, that was excellent. So well informed.

[Kelly]

Thank y'all.

[Liz]

Yeah, I. Ditto. Ditto we're changing up Fred's diet a little bit, so we're not gonna have to be quite as restrictive as we once originally were going to be, so.

Okay, that's good. And I need to clarify. We said we were gonna be like, I as people are like, wait, don't you have to be dairy free? I don't have to be dairy free for Sloan's f pies. F pies. Like, I guess sometimes the mom needs to be dairy free or not eat whatever affects the child doesn't. Not the case for me. So I don't actually have to be dairy free, but Sloan won't ever be able to. Sloan won't have to have dairy. Won't be able to have dairy for the next several years. So bummer for Sloan.

[Liz]

I wonder when she outgrows it if I throw, like, a dairy party. Probably a shock to the system. Probably not a good idea.

[Kelly]

Probably a shock to the system.

[Liz]

Like a skim milk.

And see where I did see someone post on Instagram and it was like their daughter had f pies and it was a dairy, and they showed. And she had it for, like, a long time. Like, several. Several years. And they showed her birthday cakes throughout the year. And, like, the first year is literally just like a strawberry. Like, she didn't have, like, any safe foods. And then the next year, you know, it was like a. A d free, d free, like, thing. And then by the time she is, like, older, I think she was like seven or something, she got like, her first, like, real cake and she was so excited. So, yeah, the things we take for granted. The things we take for granted.

[Liz]

That is so cute.

[Kelly]

Yeah. So anyway, and with that, that's our episode, and that was a full episode. It was enough.

[Liz]

I gotta go. I'm on a plane. I gotta get to work.
