Kelly’s still holding the baby in and Lizz is preparing for the wedding retreat of the year. The millennial word of the day kicks off today's episode on the topic of where we’re at with emojis. Sydney and Grayson’s most recently used emojis get the full Millennial analysis and Gen Z confirms that laughing faces are back.

In Kelly’s driveway dump segment, she asks wtf a tubing mascara is (someone please Google it), the Chatbooks monthly subscription has lured Kelly in, and the Route shipping and tracking app is her new obsession. 
Lizz’s maternity shirts, silver drop wedding earrings, and new planner — that both girls are now obsessed with — are her last three transactions. Kelly’s defending her barefoot dreams robe purchase and is in awe about how Tyler proved his farm-strength when their water heater went out and he had to buy and install a new one at 9pm.
A hilarious industry news features a report from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas that includes BMW’s talking car, DEE (the Digital Emotional Experience) that Lizz hates as well as Ram’s first electric pickup and its third row jump seats. CarMax, Carvana and Vroom are staying out of the Super Bowl — not surprising — and the numbers are in on what you would have lost if you’d invested in last year’s super bowl advertisers. Kelly also gives a cool shout out to some Hyundai and Kia anti-theft efforts coming from her family's car dealerships.
Ditch the drive-through today comes from Lizz and Trader Joe’s. In just a few minutes she has a full spaghetti and meatball dinner ready thanks to her air fryer and Trader Joe’s delicious bite-sized party meatballs.
