WOW WOW WOW Nicole has gotten so much sleep! We reminisce on our favorite purple dinosaur, Sasheer’s secret password for picking her up, how to let people know your store sells plus-sized clothing. Jordan’s tinky-winky, if the muppets are scary, Nicole’s botox plans, and return again to Nicole’s confusion at Sasheer’s sleep habits. In fact, we want to hear from you! Do you sleep naked like Sasheer? Or fully clothed? Let us know at the link below! They take a quiz to determine their love language, and then answer a listener question about a friend who’s husband scares away her friends.

Pumpkin Pine season is upon us! We explore all the pumpkin-flavored treats out there, Nicole’s dislike of jack-o-lanterns, endless amounts of laundry, being late to the airport, the power of the placebo effect, Sasheer’s sleep cycle being off, and solve the mystery of where they watched the VMAs. They take a quiz to learn which Masked Singer they are, get listener recommendations on a black-owned candle shop and purple cow-print booties, and answer a listener question about a best-friend dispute involving a mean, mistakenly-sent text, and respond to a question about how to handle a friend group dispute over an almost ex-boyfriend.

Let your junk breathe, sleep naked! Sasheer and Nicole talk about their hair, what they wear (or don’t wear) to sleep, balancing work and rest, traveling together, and helping each other stay fed like true sisters should do. Avalon, our favorite trans Target shopper, comes back to teach us some very useful Spanish phrases followed by Sasheer and Nicole giving advice on group chat drama and helping a listener be inclusive and fun while going clothes shopping with their plus-sized friend.

We at Best Friends think you should have whatever pleases you!

They answer listener question about how to better support a best friend going through hard times, when it is appropriate to step back and not help, and what to do with a plant from an ex-best friend.

Hello – is it me you’re looking for? This week we discuss Lionel Ritchie’s magnetic performance energy, who they would want to wrestle, accidentally drinking vodka at the gym, where all the Lyft pink mustaches have gone, if Nicole remembered to close the top of her Jeep, and how to call 911 in another country.
