Mom’s Car

Remember borrowing your mom’s car and driving around with your friends? Us too. It was the greatest. Dax and Best Friend Aaron Weakley missed it so much that they borrowed Kristen’s (America’s Mom) car and started filming a show in it. Each week they invite a guest to join them as they serpentine through Los Angeles, delivering food for a popular app (that you likely use). The guests include actors, spouses, lawyers, producers, directors, and old friends. With 39 years of best-friendship under their belts, Dax and Aaron have a rare knack for shame-free candor. The food is hot, the car is hotter, and the stories are hottest. Come for a ride in Mom’s Car!
