  • BEHIND THE MIC WITH MY SIS

    BEHIND THE MIC WITH MY SIS
    Jun 3 2025
    Kelly is a little stressed as she is headed to Dallas for a three day shoot for two reasons. First, she will be without Lizz who is moving out of her house during that time. But the bigger issue is that Kelly is feeling like she is in her ugly era. Is it that time of the month or are they just getting old? Considering both ladies were recently mistaken for teenagers it may be the former instead of the latter. Speaking of getting older, Kelly is starting to think about what kind of car to get George when he gets old enough. Yes, he is only six now, but sixteen will be here before they know it. Unsurprisingly, she's thinking it will be a used car. But what kind? Oh, and for those wondering, George's 6th birthday party was amazing all thanks to the reptile man! In Industry News, the Dodge Durango is coming back. Will there be enough changes made to make it a safer car? Plus, the Bronco vs the Wrangler and Tesla stock is making a slight comeback. Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Kelly has an Aldi hack to make your favorite Chick-fil-a meal. But what she REALLY wants to talk about is "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
