  • Buying a car every 3-4 years?

    In this economy? With gas as much as it is, you really think people are buying cars that often?

  • “Hot takes”

    You guys are so funny. You seemed very worried about making anyone mad. 😂 Both of you talked yourselves out of every stance. I could hear the fear. That’s okay. It’s one of the reasons why we love you. You try to be open-minded. LOL.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SIDE HUSTLE SUMMER IS BACK!
Q: So Shannon, what has been the biggest challenge in growing your business and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge has been marketing and business knowledge; I didn't study marketing, so I've relied on social media and word of mouth, and I've gradually hired more staff to scale while keeping my schedule flexible.
BEST AND WORST CAR BUYING TIPS w/ TOMI FROM DELIVRD
Q: Tommy, what is your background?
Tomi explains her decade in retail car sales, finance, and her recent focus on running Delivrd, a company that coordinates a team to negotiate and deliver the best possible car deals for clients, often handling 450 deals a month with a large team.
COULD CRASH TESTS BE KELLY'S NEXT MICRO-HOBBY?
Q: How should families interpret a model not being on the list?
A model not on the list reflects the current test criteria and design priorities; it doesn't mean the car is unsafe overall, but that the vehicle didn't meet the specific stringent benchmarks at that model year.
COULD CRASH TESTS BE KELLY'S NEXT MICRO-HOBBY?
Q: Why are there no minivans on the 2026 list?
Minivans struggle primarily in the rear-seat area, where belt positioning and mid-row seating configurations challenge the submarining risk and rear occupant protection, making them harder to achieve a top rating under the new criteria.
COULD CRASH TESTS BE KELLY'S NEXT MICRO-HOBBY?
Q: How did the 2026 Top Safety Pick criteria change compared to 2025?
The base level now requires a good rating in the updated moderate overlap test, and the Plus award adds a new front crash prevention requirement that must be good or acceptable; this raises the bar for what counts as a Top Safety Pick Plus.
