Ed shares the history of the car of the year awards from MotorTrend, including the first 1949 car of the year, the Cadillac. The newest addition to the awards is the automotive industry executive of the year. The 2024 competition was hot with 40 compact, mid-size, and full-size SUVs going head to head on Hyundai and Honda proving grounds. Vehicles were measured by six criteria: design, engineering excellence, efficiency, active and passive safety, value, performance of intended function. The SUV of the year title ultimately went to the Chevy Blazer EV. Kelly asks Ed what he thinks about the Apple CarPlay swap Chevy made for Google integration.

Kate from Naptime Kitchen takes a break from book writing to join Kelly and Lizz today. The Crock-tober debate is lively, ditch the drive-through will get you through Christmas week, and the episode’s end takes a turn into the deep. → Are you a Subaru Outback mom? It’s your turn to head over to the Carpool podcast reviews, leave a five star review, and let Kelly and Lizz know what you love about the show. Kate shares her favorite Naptime Kitchen Christmas hacks. She shares her always genius Christmas clothing bins and a little tip to take them to the next level — buy next year’s pajamas this year on clearance. The 12 edible gifts of Christmas also get an honorable mention with savory options to delight just about anyone in your life. Kelly’s big takeaway from Crock-tober was that not all recipes take all day. She can start a crock pot meal at 2 pm and still have dinner ready on time. Kate realized that some recipes could be just as easily made in a regular pot. Honey Butter Chicken was an adventurous pick that got the gals comfortable with curry. The Swedish Meatballs got a quick boot out of the running. Results varied. Kelly might try Lasagna Soup again, but with a different recipe. Stuffing Chicken was a tasty peek into the holiday season. Tuscan Chicken, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and Citrus Beef Tacos got mixed reviews. And Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork received rave reviews all around for being an easy recipe with leftovers that can be reused throughout the week.

It’s your turn to head on over to the Carpool reviews section and let Kelly and Lizz know what you love about your car and the show. The Carpool audience is coming through with more sayings that don’t exist including, “You’re really frying bacon without a shirt here,” “Can’t learn to drive in a parked car,” and “Don’t look for clarity when it’s raining.” The gals also clear up the ‘couldn’t care less’ controversy. Driveway dumps are all about Halloween and kiddo first. Kelly rants about main character moms on Halloween and shares a St. Louis exclusive Halloween tradition while Lizz shares a new one — the switch witch — that might be just the solution you need to too much Halloween candy.

Kelly’s also on the kiddo kick with new fleece jammies for Hattie and a 12-pack of colored masking tape. She also picked up a new party-tricks tripod for herself. Maddie recently decided to get YouTube TV to watch football this season. Sure, great, but Lizz is looking to cut back on subscriptions they aren’t using to pay for the new one.
