## Resource

Lizz is officially in her third trimester but don't ask her if she is ready. The world has stopped until the Car Mom Auto Show and there's nothing else to talk about. Kelly is feeling the same, except when it comes to George's 7th birthday. She reveals what she got him this year and which one she thinks will be the biggest hit. Insurprisingly, Kelly is also working on a new micro-hobby: perfecting taking people a meal. Will she have it right by the time Lizz gives birth? Then it's time for a chat with one of our favorite guests, Jessica Jermakian from the IIHS. There was a lot of talk about the 2026 and all the vehicles that were suddenly no longer top safety picks. So what happened? Jessica explains why changes in the testing and requirements pushed certain cars out. Also, Kelly is on her way to visit the IIHS headquarters, and Jessica will tell her what to expect.
