Millennials are now the 'old people' in the office, so what will the young Gen Zers be like in the workplace? The gals discuss how diversity is the Gen Z norm, how they're all about pragmatism, and what has made them the loneliest generation.
Kelly's driveway dump includes Macy Blackwell — one of the gals' IG holiday obsessions — and check-in on micro-influencers. Kelly and Lizz report on their Amazon Live flop and recommend the site Like to Know It for their micro-influencer listeners. Pregnancy insomnia, pick-one daily priorities, and a breast pump update round out the segment.
A listener writes in for advice on who she should invite to her kids' birthday parties. Kelly and Lizz run down the list of possible guests — family members, parent friends, kid's friends, and more — and how they'd make their guest lists.
Mom Water is the sponsor of today's test drive. Not only is Mom Water a fantastic non-carbonated seltzer alternative, but their cans are also stunning, and their ingredients are super simple. Each flavor has a cute and classic mom name like Linda, Karen, Sandy, or Carol. In short, the gals are hooked.

The holiday coffee and treats taste drive is here with every Christmas and holiday drink and pastry currently at Starbucks. Drinks in the taste drive include the toasted white mocha, chestnut praline latte, classic peppermint mocha, caramel brulée latte, and almond sugar cookie latte. And the holiday pastries include the chocolate pistachio swirl, the cranberry bliss bar, and the sugar plum danish.
This week's Christmas movie to watch is A Christmas Prince. Kelly shares another baby name hint, and the Carpool Mom's Chicago Auto Show invite from Nissan has arrived.
Today's industry news is sponsored by Edmunds.com. Edmunds has over 50 years of car shopping advice and price guidance all right in one place. And whether you're shopping new or used, Edmunds has everything you need to be empowered at the dealership. Kelly loves Edmunds for their appraisal and trade-in tool because it is so easy to find out the value of your car. Edmunds won't ask for any personal information, either.
