17,000 AND COUNTING Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Kelly and Lizz may have wound down from the New York International Auto show, but their lives are only ramping up. Did somebody say micro-influencer?
They start the episode at the (fictional) Sonic drive through when they taste-test Sonic Hard Seltzers: Original limeade, classic lemonade, lemonade, lemon, berry and cherry limeade flavors. How will they measure up to other hard seltzers the gals have tried? The true OG listeners will know: these sisters are anything but mid and have tried a LOT.

Then they dive into another new game (sorry, Great 8). They play "The Price Is Right'' on Facebook Marketplace. The sisters have to guess how much an item is listed for, and whoever is closest to the actual price wins. So, which sister picked wedding-themed items, while the other picked used car items? They also discuss some important ‘mom’ news about Black Maternal Health Week, and unpack shocking statistics that impact black mothers’ wellbeing. Plus, find out how TikTok is posing a threat to teenage mental health, and its impact on safety, self esteem, and risk for addiction.
Then, Kelly and Lizz get back on the road when they reveal which Hyundai model was named ‘World Car of the Year’ at the New York International Auto Show. And, they talk shop about the latest electric car startup VinFast, and its *interesting* bells and whistles (or in this case, batteries).
Just when you thought the episode was winding down, the hosts liven it up with some delicious food content. A ‘Carpool with Kelly and Lizz’ listener shares her layered enchilada recipe, while the sisters get creative (and healthy) with homemade ranch dip.
