A TRUCK DAD Q&A

Grab your Twizzlers, the Stumpe family is going to the Ozarks! The Truck Dad is on the Carpool podcast—finally. And while your 20 bucks might not deliver the same goods they always did, this episode certainly will. Tyler has surrendered to his fate and is now one of those 'exercise people' with insufferable soreness. Kelly is certain a good round of shiplap would turn that two-pack into a six.  The Carpool has questions, and Tyler's got answers. What were the best and worst of the new home renovations? How did Tyler become so good at fixing things? Who edits his Instagram reels? The Truck Dad also shares his take on meeting, dating, and marrying Kelly—she says she loves this country chameleon boy and Tyler says she just wouldn't give up. Tyler's first-car tales of farm trucks and Ford Tauruses, a minnow-entertainment hack, and Kelly and Tyler's polar opposite airport personalities round out this riveting segment. A listener writes in for advice on getting a truck as a family car. Kelly's here to change the stigma about mom cars being only three row SUVs.
