Carpool Casanova Sings His Way into Season 3

31/08/2023

The Carpool Casanova, WRAL-FM's Bryan Lord, opened Season 3 of his MIX morning school drop-off karaoke on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at Lake Myra Elementary School in Wendell.

Season 3 of The Carpool Casanova IS HERE! Lord told CapCom. New suit. New songs. Refreshed creative energy! And with our show, you know we have a few surprises cooked up for the new season. I won't reveal what those are. But what I can say is none of them involve bees.

With that final comment, Lord paid a nod to his most recent stunt, seeing how long he could survive a hive of bees (fully covered in a safety suit, of course) so a listener could win Beyonce tickets. He is thankful for the return to the fun and insect-less carpool line.

The Carpool Casanova, WRAL-FM's Bryan Lord, opened Season 3 at Lake Myra Elementary School in Wendell on Tuesday, August 29, 2023.

You remember last season's finale we crowned the most spirited school' (Sycamore Creek Elementary), who received the Pink Plaque , an ice cream party, and a GIANT check, he said. Now that a prize' is established, we expect schools to show out!

The first school of the new season set the bar high, throwing down the gauntlet for their quest for the Pink Plaque .

Case and point, our Season 3 premiere at Lake Myra Elementary was huge, said Lord. Students, staff, Swimmy' the otter, even the crossing guard were decked out in pink. I performed in front of a huge backdrop covered in pictures that the students drew of the Carpool Casanova. And the energy was INSANE.

He got a fun report from one of his MIX Mornings co-hosts, Kyle Smelser.

Kyle's wife, Sarah, told me she heard kids singing I'm Still Standing' from Wendell Falls, a quarter-mile away, said Lord. That's how you set the stage for Season 3!
