Everywhere you look people are talking about Chat CPT and other AI technology. It can be a little scary, but can it be used for good? Kelly put Chat GPT to test to see if they could get any use out of it and had it write the podcast today! Did it give them any gems?  It's first suggestion was to talk about chaos moments or funny kid quotes. While they couldn't think of any, it did bring up some drama at the library. Then, it suggested a segment called "What's in the Snack Bag?" which is basically Taste drive and Lizz brought a new viral snack for the ladies to try, frozen grapes. Spoilers: not a fan.  Chat GPT then suggested Kelly and Lizz talk about pop culture headlines including stories on Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian, which is not really their thing. But it did bring up a good question - is anyone really a fan of Katy Perry?  Next, Chat GPT suggested a segment called "Carpool Categories: What's In My Purse?" It sounds like a Instagram post from 5 years ago. But with the suggestion of "Currently Obsessed," it gave the ladies time to talk about red sneakers and how car care is self care. So it's not all bad.  Before they wrap up the Chat GPT talk, Lizz has a suggestion from a Carpooler on alternate names for the "Ceiling Vent" segment from Chat CPT. Some of them are great, some not so much... But it could just be Lizz's delivery...  Before they wrap up the episode, Kelly has breaking IIHS Safety Pick drama in Industry News. Then, it's Ditch the Drive-Thru with a possible super juicy chicken tender recipe and chuck roast tacos.

Have you ever seen a performance that moved you at the soul level? I have many times and it just happened again the other night when I was watching the Country Music Awards. I don't have a long history with country music as I've been a rock n roll girl most of my life. However, several country artists are putting out music these days I'm drawn to which is part of the inspiration behind today's episode. We can learn a lot about playing our positions more effectively from watching and studying people who are at the top of their game including people like Chris Stapleton and what he symbolizes for all of us on a universal level. ===== Watch Chris Stapleton perform at the CMA 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLhs0jfVRB8  = = = = = Thank you for supporting the show!

At #4 is the all-too-relatable Episode 90: “First of all, don’t walk into Staples.”, during which C+D reveal their (still prevalent and unhealthy) habit of buying too many notebooks, stationery, and organization & office supplies. Their third most obsession-worthy episode of 2020 is Episode 86: “Look, I saved all these Tootsie Rolls for you.” which is all about NaNoWriMo. At #2 is Episode 45: "One of my resolutions is to hold grudges.", their first episode of 2020 and one that’s filled with C+D’s (perhaps lofty and too-specific) goals and intentions. Any bets on how many they actually achieved? With a virtual drum roll, coming in the #1 spot for the most downloaded episode of “Currently Obsessed” is Episode 74: "Thank goodness no one was watching but God.", which highlights the spectacular weirdness of both C+D along with their “Hamilton” obsession. #AskReddit For this week’s #AskReddit segment, D asks, “What is the single most important item in your home that has a value of $1 or less?” while C asks, “How did you find out that Santa isn’t real?” Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you’re the first to know when new episodes come out in 2021.
