Friends?! Nicole still has something stuck in her throat, but she’s ok. Sasheer suggests massaging her throat. Nicole’s concerned over a neighbor's dog constantly barking. Sasheer tried to ‘shhhh’ a dog but didn’t know the correct commands. Nicole regales us about the movie “Night Swim,” about a haunted swimming pool. Sasheer is already afraid of the water. Jordan shares a story that illustrates the danger of hot tubs. Nicole and everyone else is surprised to learn that more than 300 people die every year from hot tub-related accidents. Sasheer learns that Johnny Appleseed was a real person. Nicole couldn’t date anyone named Johnny Appleseed. Sasheer is annoyed with her Wisteria tree in her yard. Nicole jokes that Sasheer is performing tree abortion. Sasheer was asked if she knew her birth story and she didn’t. Neither did Nicole. Nicole shares a new fav food combo flavor. Sasheer learns that you need a membership to shop at Costco.

Friends! Sasheer has something in her eye and Nicole helps her clear her sight. Also, nobody was prepared for the arm choreography in the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. Sasheer had a mechanical bull ride at her party and Nicole enjoyed it so much, she wants to find a mechanical dick to ride. They both found out that there is no brick and mortar business in California for a mechanical penis ride. Nicole hates the term lover and thinks we should get rid of the words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend.” Plus, they answer your questions about a friend forgetting birthdays, advice on celebrating Mother’s Day when you’re grieving and whether or not Sasheer’s Team Pacey or Team Dawson.
