0:08But like when you use these in one car, you would never fly around someone on the right and try to make up a minute. Yeah. No, because they could have a pregnant woman in the car. They could have a cake in the back for kids. Oh my God. I'm going to climb five flights of stairs. This is what I was telling you about Monica. They don't ask you how in shape you are. Oh, except bingo. Nice. Big one. Oh, oh. Yes, we got one. You're a good luck charm. And a big ride. Do you think it's unethical I'm taking some work for some people? I don't. Okay.

From the publisher
Remember borrowing your mom’s car and driving around with your friends? Us too. It was the greatest. Dax and Best Friend Aaron Weakley missed it so much that they borrowed Kristen’s (America’s Mom) car and started filming a show in it. Each week they invite a guest to join them as they serpentine through Los Angeles, delivering food for a popular app (that you likely use). The guests include actors, spouses, lawyers, producers, directors, and old friends. With 39 years of best-friendship under their belts, Dax and Aaron have a rare knack for shame-free candor. The food is hot, the car is hotter, and the stories are hottest. Come for a ride in Mom’s Car!
