[Nicole]

S H, S. Wait, no.

[Kimmy]

S.

[Sasheer]

I hope you weren't trying to spell my name.

[Nicole]

No, I was spelling she's here.

[Sasheer]

Okay.

[Kimmy]

S H E space, H E, R, E. She's here.

[Nicole]

It's the sheer issues here.

[Kimmy]

Wait, did I spell here wrong?

[Sasheer]

You only spelled she here. You didn't say she's here. You spelled S H e space here.

[Nicole]

Okay, here's a secret. I was trying to spell your name, and then I said the H, and then I panicked, and then I lied, and I said I was trying to spell something else, and then my brain couldn't compute. But I know how to spell your name. S A, S H E, E, R. Sashir.

[Sasheer]

Correct? Yes. How did you spell it in your phone when you first met me? You spelled it a wild way in your phone.

[Nicole]

I think it was S H, S H, E E A R or something wild. Hold on, let me see. Well, I was. That's why I didn't say your name out loud for a very long time, because I was like, that can't be it. That's no way. There's no way to live. There's too many letters that don't belong together. Oh, yeah. I think I spelled it S H A S H E, A, R. Ooh. Yeah, it's a lot. But now that I'm writing it, that looks pretty. Pretty right to how it was in my phone. How'd you spell my name when you initially put it in?

[Kimmy]

F, R, E, A, K.

[Sasheer]

Frake.

[Kimmy]

Oh, that's a. Wait, Freak. Did I spell that right?

[Sasheer]

Oh, freak. No, you did. You did.

[Nicole]

Oh, boy. I'm having issues with spelling today. Never take me to the B. I.

[Sasheer]

Was on my spelling team. Did I tell you that?

[Nicole]

What?

[Sasheer]

In high school? What the fuck?

[Kimmy]

What? I don't think I knew you were.

[Nicole]

On the spelling bay team.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, I was pretty good at it. I think we truly incredible semifinalists in, like, some national competition or something.

[Nicole]

Do you remember any of the words they asked you to spell?

[Sasheer]

I sure don't. No. Shaded.

[Kimmy]

Who. Who.

[Nicole]

Who came up with spelling bees? Hmm. And why are they called the B?

[Sasheer]

That I don't know. Yeah. What's the B part of it?

[Nicole]

Yeah. I don't know. But also, who was like, let's gather the children and see who's the one who can memorize the most? That's all.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, it's definitely nothing to do with intelligence. It's just, can you remember how things are spelled or can you guess? Are you a good guesstimator? But not. Yeah, you don't have to be smart? To spell?

[Nicole]

No. You could be dumb as bricks and just, like, remember how to spell. Or you could, like. Okay. Have you ever seen Curly Sue? Okay, well, in Curly Sue, I can't remember the guy who plays her dad. But, like, it's not really her dad. Maybe it's, like, her adoptive dad. But then, like, he keeps curly suit. And then, like, one of the tricks they do to get money is, like, she'll spell things to be like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely in school. I can spell. And the lady, Gray, I think her name is. Or Grayson or something, whatever. So, like, this lady accidentally hits her adoptive dad with a car. And then. Or not accidentally. They, like, pretend that he's hit by a car. And then she, like, takes them to dinner and she's like, I can spell. I go to school. Cat, C, A T. And then she actually hits him for real. And then she takes them home with her. And then, like, they're in her house, and then her boyfriend comes home and he, like, freaks out or whatever. But then, like, she's talking to Curly sue alone, and she was like, are you in school? She's like, no, don't need it. I'm smart. Don't worry. And then she's like, yeah, I could spell anything. Cat C18. She's like, spell plastic. And she's like, I don't know. And then it's revealed that she doesn't go to school, but then she keeps them and loves them. It's a good movie. And I didn't describe it super well, but, like, yeah, you could just memorize how to spell words.

[Sasheer]

Okay. That's a lot. That's a wild movie. I don't think I knew anything about it. She keeps the family in her house.

[Kimmy]

Yeah. Kind of like pets they stay in.

[Sasheer]

And then does the boyfriend stay too? Or does the woman fall in love with Curly Sue's dad?

[Nicole]

No. So the woman falls in love with Curly Sue's stepdad. Whatever. He. I don't really know what he is. She calls him Phil. No, that's not his name. Mike. I don't know, Peter. She calls him something other than Dad. I don't remember. It's a man's name. So the boyfriend calls Dythus. Or, like, Child Protective Services. CPS on Bill. Yeah, it is Bill.

[Kimmy]

Bill.

[Nicole]

So the boyfriend calls CPS on Bill and Curly Sue. And then she gets taken away into foster care. And then they cut her hair. When she comes back, she goes, they cut my hair. And it's really sad. But then there's like a really good makeover scene with this like, black assistant that Grayson has. Or her name is Gray. I don't know. It's a great.

[Sasheer]

It sounds like a dark version of Annie.

[Nicole]

Oh, yeah, it is. I would say the c. D. Er version of Annie.

[Sasheer]

Damn. All right.

[Nicole]

Yeah. And they film a scene. I think it's in Times Square at this place called Tad Steakhouse where I once had a steak that was the worst steak of my life.

[Sasheer]

But it's a famous restaurant.

[Nicole]

It is Tad Steakhouse. I don't know if it still exists. Kimmy, can you look up if Tad Steakhouse in Times Square still exists?

[Sasheer]

What? Like, are you gonna go? You didn't. It doesn't seem like you liked it.

[Nicole]

But maybe as an adult, I'll like Tad Steakhouse more.

[Sasheer]

Kimmy, did you find anything?

[Kimmy]

That's Tad's.

[Nicole]

Wait, what does this say?

[Jordan]

Say Goodbye.

[Sasheer]

Say goodbye.

[Jordan]

60 year old Times Square restaurant, Tad Steaks. It closed in 2020.

[Nicole]

No, 2020 has taken too much from me.

[Kimmy]

Not dad Steakhouse.

[Sasheer]

A place Steakhouse couldn't even survive, Covid.

[Nicole]

I mean, this. It's terrible. Apparently there's new fucking variants popping up everywhere still. Yeah. Hong Kong is in like their worst version of their pandemic. Good lord. Since like 2020. Like they're having a really bad outbreak. And I think what we don't seem to grasp is like, people are traveling again. So like the same way it got here is the same way it's going to get here. It's a. It's a.

[Kimmy]

The circle alive us all.

[Sasheer]

But we just started. We just started taking our masks off and I like that.

[Nicole]

Yeah, well, buckle up, Betty. You're gonna have to put them right back on. Damn it. Yeah, sorry about it. I think it'll just be like a hybrid of shit since we're like vaccinated. So I think it's like the infection rate will go up, but maybe hospitalizations won't go.

[Kimmy]

I don't know.

[Nicole]

I can't believe we're two years later still fudgeing talking about it.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

Wait, what's the anniversary of our lockdown?

[Sasheer]

We passed it, actually.

[Nicole]

Oh, we did? How did you celebrate?

[Sasheer]

Go skate.

[Nicole]

Yes, Queen. Are you going to that dancing skateboard?

[Sasheer]

Uh huh.

[Kimmy]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

That's fun.

[Sasheer]

It's been very fun to learn choreography while on skates.

[Nicole]

It's really hard. It looks hard. I mean, for me, just going forward is really hard. I think I need to get into a rink. I need flat. I think I need undivided attention to the ground. That's not what I want to say. I need. Oh, ground. Smooth ground. There we go.

[Sasheer]

Smooth ground. Yes.

[Nicole]

I think it'll just be easier for me.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. It's funny. I don't like exercising, but now I'm doing stuff so I can build strength for skating. Like, if I want to be on my toes, I'm, like, doing, like, calf raises and stuff like that. I'm trying to, like, get my balance better.

[Nicole]

Okay. Come through calf raises.

[Sasheer]

And then I put my skates on, and I was, like, lifting my legs up so I can, like, be able to, like, carry the weight better.

[Nicole]

Oh, I love this for you. I love these skate drills, these skating exercises. You should get a skate coach.

[Sasheer]

I should get a skate coach who.

[Nicole]

Like, runs drills through you, through me, like an insane way to say something. Yeah. Who runs drills right through you.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. I could get a coach. That'd be fun.

[Nicole]

I think so. I think you will get good. I think you have it. I think you have it, kid. I think you have.

[Sasheer]

I have what it takes.

[Nicole]

You have what it takes. You have the skills, you have the rhythm. You have it all, baby. I. I'm putting a pole inside my house. Did I tell you about this plot? You did, yes.

[Sasheer]

Are you gonn one that's outside?

[Nicole]

No. Apparently it's an eyesore.

[Sasheer]

Apparently to who? Did someone tell you that?

[Nicole]

Someone did tell me they thought it was an eyesore. I might keep it outside. I don't know. But the problem I've had with it is the birds. The birds be shitting. The birds be saying, oh, we hang out here, and I don't want them to hang out there. So then I have to, like, constantly be cleaning it. Um, and that's getting to me a little bit.

[Sasheer]

I could say that. Yeah.

[Nicole]

And the elements.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, it's just like, outside. You need to be under a cover or something.

[Nicole]

Yeah. But, you know, she's bringing it inside. Or just get one inside. I'm very excited about it.

[Sasheer]

I'm excited about it.

[Nicole]

I'm really fucking good.

[Kimmy]

Yeah.

[Sasheer]

And then you can pull rain or shine or sleep in any. Any temperament of the weather.

[Nicole]

Yes. Now I am the post office of Poland. The rain, sleet and snow.

[Kimmy]

She will bowl, Right?

[Nicole]

Isn't that a post office saying through, like, rain, sleet, and snow, they'll do it.

[Sasheer]

Something like that, yeah. Yeah.

[Nicole]

You know, I've worn a post office worker's outfit twice now. I'm not sure why they don't put some spandex in those outfits. Just so you can move a little Bit more. The whole job is moving.

[Sasheer]

This is true.

[Nicole]

Yeah.

[Sasheer]

I mean, really, you should be like, workout gear.

[Nicole]

I think so. Absolute Le Mans. Yes. Give me that. Athleisure. Come through. Athleisure.

[Sasheer]

Two day quiz.

[Nicole]

I mean, if that's what you're feeling. Yes, I would love to quiz.

[Sasheer]

Let's quiz.

[Nicole]

Let's quiz.

[Sasheer]

Whoa. What chronotype are you? Kind of sleeper or morning person stuff. Oh. Do you want to figure out your chronotype?

[Nicole]

I would love to know what my chronotype is.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

We love pure love.

[Sasheer]

Chronobiology is a field of biology that studies the internal clocks of living organisms. A chronotype is a biological predisposition to be a morning person, an evening person, or somewhere in between, according to Michael J. Bruce, Ph.D. and sleep doctor to the stars, like Oprah. In this book, the Power of When, there are four types of lions, dolphins, wolves, and bears, take this quiz to find out which one are you.

[Nicole]

If I'm not a fucking dolphin, I'm going to riot. I'm going to be so mad. Okay. Do you wake up to an alarm?

[Sasheer]

Ooh, interesting. I must say. No, because I've actually been waking up before my alarm, which is really crazy.

[Nicole]

That's insane. I wake up to an alarm. Yes. Hallelu. She don't get up if there's no ring. A ding ding.

[Sasheer]

Hallelu. What's the first thing you drink in the morning? Coffee, water, tea, a triple espresso.

[Nicole]

I drink a quadruple espresso in iced coffee, so that's what I drink. It's not even there. So a triple espresso.

[Sasheer]

I drink water. Yeah.

[Nicole]

You're probably more hydrated than I. Yeah.

[Sasheer]

If you start drinking as soon as you get up, you don't have to catch up later in the day.

[Nicole]

If you stay hydrated. You don't gotta get hydrated.

[Sasheer]

Do you ever have trouble falling asleep?

[Nicole]

Oh, yes, baby, all the time.

[Sasheer]

No, I fall asleep standing.

[Nicole]

Yeah. Yeah. Which is. I would love that. Like, I've seen you fall asleep at tables outside your home, in cars and bars, hot tubs. Which emoji represents you at 8am There's.

[Sasheer]

A skull and crossbones.

[Nicole]

There's a happy face.

[Sasheer]

There's a neutral, straight line face.

[Nicole]

And then there's a happy face where it's like, I gotta show off my dang teeth. 8am 8am is not 6am so 6am I'm skull and crossbones. She's dead. But I'm gonna say just the. The.

[Sasheer]

The neutral face.

[Nicole]

The neutral face.

[Sasheer]

I'm gonna say I, I got up around 8am and I was, I would say I was pretty happy. Someone see the smiley face? Wow, she's changing.

[Nicole]

She really is.

[Sasheer]

Oh, what about 8pm? Say emojis.

[Nicole]

Yeah. 8pm that's almost 9, 10, 11, 12. And I hit my stride at about 1am so I'm gonna say smiley face.

[Sasheer]

I guess it.

[Nicole]

I think I'm gonna show that teeth too.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. When did the teeth come out?

[Nicole]

I think that's when you're really happy. I'm gonna say yeah. 8:00pm on. My teeth are out.

[Sasheer]

She's bare in those pearly whites. I. I'm gonna say the non teeth smile because I'm like, I'm all right. But I could go home at any moment.

[Nicole]

I could go home at any moment.

[Sasheer]

Choose a meal.

[Nicole]

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. I feel like you're gonna eat snacks.

[Sasheer]

Well, you know, I eat all these meals every day.

[Nicole]

You do? You really do eat like a well rounded amount of food. I truly only eat dinner and maybe some snacks. So I'm gonna say dinner. I love dinner.

[Sasheer]

I'm a breakfast person. I love starting the day with a full stomach.

[Nicole]

Whoa.

[Jordan]

This is Nicole.

[Kimmy]

Ah. I'm not a dolphin. I'm a wolf.

[Sasheer]

You're a wolf.

[Kimmy]

Morning person.

[Nicole]

Not you. According to Dr. Bruce's who's no relation to Dr. Seuss's guidelines, why would there be relation.

[Kimmy]

From Bruce to suits?

[Sasheer]

I clearly different letters.

[Kimmy]

I just really liked how they rhymed.

[Nicole]

And I wasn't sure how to bring it.

[Sasheer]

But thank you for Clari clarifying because no worries.

[Kimmy]

That's what I'm here for.

[Nicole]

Wolves at a heart. They have a hard time waking up early. Okay. And have most energy at night. Try to spend your morning planning out your day before taking on meteor tasks. And after lunch, after an 8pm dinner, aim to meditate for a while, shower, and spend some time chilling before hitting the sheets at midnight. If only I could go to sleep at midnight. Yeah.

[Kimmy]

Whoa.

[Sasheer]

Damn. I'm a lion.

[Nicole]

I think you are a lion.

[Sasheer]

Rawr.

[Nicole]

That's the first word.

[Sasheer]

Rawr. Per Dr. Bruce's guidelines, lions tend to wake up early with lots of energy. By the early evening, you're probably pretty damn tired. That is true. According to Dr. Bruce's ideal lion schedule, aim to get up at the crack of dawn at 5:30.

[Nicole]

Oh, no.

[Sasheer]

From there, try to tackle your biggest task before the sun goes down. After an earlyish 6pm dinner, head to bed around 10.30pm before doing it all again tomorrow. I mean, as soon as the sun goes down. I'm useless.

[Nicole]

Yes, you really are. Which is interesting.

[Sasheer]

I'm like, sorry, my brain don't work no more. I can do shows, but I can't create. I can't start a new project. No, I'm done.

[Nicole]

I. I wish I could, like, wrap up life a little earlier.

[Sasheer]

Mm.

[Nicole]

But that's. That's really hard for me.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. It's funny because, like, I shifted like I used to be. Well, I guess I still kind of am a night person, but I'm now able to get up earlier. Like, it was so hard for me to get up early. And then I was watching this. There's like a sleep masterclass on the masterclass app, and it was asking, like, are you a morning lark or a night owl? And then I took some quiz and I was like, wait, am I a morning lark? That seems crazy. I think I am.

[Nicole]

I think you're a morning lark. I think your body naturally wants to be awake earlier and then rest earlier.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, I set my alarm for 7:30 this morning. Or no, for 7. I think I woke up at 6:45 on my own. And then. That's.

[Nicole]

That's crazy. Why were you trying to wake up so early? What are you trying to do?

[Sasheer]

I was trying to get my TSA Precheck. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It took over your whole body.

[Nicole]

It really did. You're trying to get your TSA Precheck?

[Sasheer]

Yeah, because I told you I had global entry, and then I reapplied, and they were like, it could take months for us to approve you. And it has been months. And I'm like, fuck this. I'm about to go on a bunch of flights, about to go on tour. I want my TSA Precheck. So I just applied for regular TSA Precheck without the global entry, and I think I applied yesterday. And then I was like, I'm going today. And I did that. And the walk in started at 7:30, so I was like, let me try to go early so I can knock it out and.

[Nicole]

You knocked it out. I knocked it out. Congratulations.

[Sasheer]

Thank you.

[Nicole]

You are getting through security fastest.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, I don't want to take my shoes off anymore.

[Nicole]

I mean, it's insane. Well, for you, you're strapped in, you're strapped up. They're starting. It's tough to get them off.

[Sasheer]

It's a whole ordeal.

[Nicole]

But it is wild that, like, you pay a little bit of money, you go to a cubicle, you meet someone and they go, we trust you more than everybody else.

[Sasheer]

I mean, yeah, that's it. All I'm doing is paying a little bit more money.

[Nicole]

Yeah. And then they take your fingerprints, right?

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

Yep. I think it's $30 for five years or something. I don't understand why we all don't have pre check.

[Sasheer]

I also don't understand that. Right. It's, like, so easy to get. And also, once you pay it, you're good for five years.

[Nicole]

Five years. $30 for five years. That breaks down to good.

[Sasheer]

I don't know what it used to be, but it's actually $85 now.

[Nicole]

Oh, maybe it was 85. That sounds right.

[Kimmy]

I don't know where I got 30 from.

[Sasheer]

I mean, 30 is a steal.

[Nicole]

30 is an absolute steal. Maybe 85 is just slightly expensive enough for people to go, I'll just wait in the fudgeing line.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, but if you fly a lot. Yeah, it's worth it.

[Nicole]

Really fucking helpful. Um, it's funny because every time I leave the country, I'm like, where's pre check? And I'm like, oh, yeah, they don't have pre check. You just go through faster. Cause they don't make you take off your shoes.

[Sasheer]

Well, that's what global entry is good for. When you go to different countries.

[Nicole]

Oh, yes, because then you zoom zoom through customs.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

Mm. Yeah. Last time I. When we flew back from Italy, we were in customs for so long.

[Sasheer]

So freaking long.

[Nicole]

It was awful. I really didn't.

[Sasheer]

But when we came back from Mexico, it was like that.

[Nicole]

It truly was. It was like.

[Sasheer]

It was like. Yeah.

[Nicole]

It was really just like. I feel like your snaps were better than mine. Mine were pretty flims.

[Sasheer]

It's a good snap. That was good.

[Kimmy]

My snaps are bad.

[Nicole]

I wish my snaps were better. Thank you.

[Sasheer]

I can't remember who even taught me a snap. My dad.

[Nicole]

Oh, who taught you to.

[Sasheer]

Who taught you to snap? Do you remember?

[Nicole]

That's not an unlocked memory. I have no idea who taught me how to snap. Hey, sit down, baby. Let me teach you how to snap. It wasn't my dad, Nicole. I don't think it was my mom either. I don't think anyone's snapping down a taught me.

[Sasheer]

It's also funny because, like, kind of a useless skill, like, but someone has to teach you how to do it.

[Nicole]

Someone does have to teach you. It is not useless. That's how you get server's attention. No, that's how you get server's attention. No, that's how you get any bartender's attention. Anybody in the service industry. That's how you get their attention. And if you see a young woman that you think is attractive.

[Sasheer]

Hey, hey, come here.

[Nicole]

So you got hot ladies come over to you. Gotta snap at them, I guess. No, it's useless.

[Sasheer]

It's like. It's useless. Unless you're, like, snapping to music.

[Nicole]

Oh, it's. Unless you're. Yeah. At a jazz club and you're just like, I gotta.

[Kimmy]

Oh, yeah.

[Sasheer]

Or like, saxophone or, like, slam poetry or one of my shows.

[Nicole]

Yes.

[Sasheer]

Snap.

[Nicole]

Oh, yes.

[Kimmy]

You did that joke.

[Nicole]

Yeah. So I guess it is useful for the arts. For the arts, yes.

[Sasheer]

We gotta keep it for the arts.

[Nicole]

Wish I had a tambourine. Speaking of making noise with your hands, I think I'm gonna buy one. But, like, it feels weird to play a tambourine alone in my home. Maybe I should invite people over for my tambourine performances.

[Sasheer]

I feel like a tambourine is like. Like it's. It's enhancing other music. I feel like other music has to happen in order for a tambourine to be effective. Otherwise, it's just. Just like shaking bells.

[Nicole]

Okay, so I shouldn't get a tambourine?

[Sasheer]

You can get a tambourine, but maybe get some other instruments to join it.

[Nicole]

Okay. I do have a recorder.

[Sasheer]

Okay. Yeah. Invite a third grade class over so they can play, and then you can join them with your tambourine.

[Nicole]

Imagine I'm like, gather, children. I have a. I have a tambourine and a recorder. I think that would be really. I don't know, like, I don't want kids in my house.

[Sasheer]

No, that'd be strange.

[Nicole]

Don't.

[Sasheer]

Don't invite a bunch of kids.

[Nicole]

I'll invite them to the park.

[Sasheer]

A nice neutral territory.

[Nicole]

I'll drop a pin. I'll say, meet me here, kids.

[Sasheer]

Bring your instruments.

[Nicole]

Bring.

[Kimmy]

We're having band practice.

[Nicole]

Isn't it what School of Rock's about?

[Sasheer]

They do play music. Yeah. Yes.

[Nicole]

With an adult. Like a bunch of kids play music.

[Sasheer]

With an adult with their teacher.

[Nicole]

But.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. Yes. Yeah, they do. They do play with him in a band so you could recreate it.

[Nicole]

Okay, well, I don't know. I don't want to go to school to become a teacher to get the kids.

[Sasheer]

I actually don't think he did.

[Nicole]

Oh, he lied.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. He lied to get the job so you could do the same thing.

[Nicole]

Imagine that's what I did. Imagine people were like, nicole quit comedy to do what? To lie? To become a teacher. To play a tambourine with some kids.

[Sasheer]

What a twist. What a turn of events.

[Nicole]

I would never do that. Can I just tell you, I got a Farm Rio sweater in the mail yesterday, and I'm so pleased with it. It is so big, so drapey, so comfy, cozy. I was wearing it on my walk with Clyde. I got a little warm, so I took it off. But I might slide that bad boy right on soon.

[Sasheer]

Oh, good. Oh, good.

[Nicole]

I just thought you wanted an update on my coldness. She's getting cold.

[Sasheer]

I. I care about. About people's temperature because I'm always cold.

[Nicole]

You are currently wearing a coat. You. Oh, my goodness. I thought this was a blanket. This is a coat.

[Sasheer]

It's like a house coat. A house on the inside.

[Nicole]

It's interesting. You find a lot of wares that I'm not aware of.

[Sasheer]

I thought.

[Nicole]

I didn't know a house coat was a literal coat you wear in your house. I don't know what I thought a house coat was. Oh, maybe like a robe.

[Sasheer]

A robe? Yeah. No, but I wear an actual coat. But like a comfy coat that I can lounge in.

[Nicole]

Oh, fair. I love it. Should we help the people of the world, or is it too early?

[Sasheer]

I think we can help the people of the world. Yeah.

[Nicole]

Okay, let's help them.

[Sasheer]

Let's help them.

[Kimmy]

Let's help.

[Nicole]

Do, do, do.

[Sasheer]

Do you have to show me what your. What sweater you have from Farm Rio? Because maybe I have the same one.

[Nicole]

Hold on. Let me lean back like Fat Joe says. Oh, she's really leaning.

[Sasheer]

That arm went flying.

[Nicole]

Okay, so it has strawberries. Strawberries on the arm. Ooh, And a little bit of, like, cheetah print.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, she's putting it on.

[Nicole]

Oh.

[Sasheer]

I do not have that one, but I love that.

[Nicole]

Oh, it's fun, right?

[Sasheer]

Mm. It's a good one.

[Nicole]

Yeah, I really like it. It's a. And it's got billowy arms. Look at that. That's not my arm. That's sleeve.

[Sasheer]

That's just sleeve. And air sleeve.

[Nicole]

Air wishes and dreams.

[Sasheer]

I'm into it.

[Nicole]

Me too. And I'm wearing my bangs today. I think I'm like. It's just. I'm doing a whole look.

[Sasheer]

It's a good look. Okay, we got an email. Hello, Nicole and Sasheer. I'm a huge fan of the podcast, and I love listening to all your banter and. And genuine good laughs. Laughing fits. It makes my day. I am 23. I'm moving in with my best friend and her roommate. They have been living together for two years, and their third roommate is leaving, so I'm replacing them in September.

[Nicole]

Yay.

[Sasheer]

I think we will live together peacefully, but my only concern about this apartment is the interior design of it. If we could even call it that. This is the epitome of a college apartment. Because of the lack of decoration and furniture, the apartment has enough space for a dining room table and chairs, but instead, they left that space empty and just have a foldable TV tray and eat their food on the couch. Yeah, they have a painted beer pong table that stays in the hallway when not in use. And string lights up.

[Nicole]

Oh, boy. I am unsure why they decided to live like that because we wouldn't be throwing so many parties that we would need to have a dance floor ready at any moment. Mm. I have plenty of art that I can hang up to decorate to decorate the space, and ceramic dinnerware set to replace the plastics that they car. They have currently. However, I don't want to overstep on everything they got going on because obviously they spent money on those things and don't want to throw them out, which is understandable. However, as Beyonce once said. Let me upgrade you. I think we could be. I think we could be living a better life if we buy a dining room table. Even if it's from Facebook market or Ikea. I would appreciate a good chair to sit in. Sashir, you have my back on this one. How should I go about talking about maybe replacing some of the items they have or buying some new stuff? Should I wait until I'm fully moved in or do it beforehand? Since we're all friends, I appreciate any advice you have for me. I hope you ladies have a wonderful rest of your day. Smiley face, your friend.

[Sasheer]

Well, I mean, I definitely think there's room for chairs.

[Nicole]

Oh, absolutely. You think that. Yes, of course. You think there is room for chairs.

[Sasheer]

There's always room for chairs.

[Nicole]

So. Okay. I had this issue when I lived in New York City. City of dreams. Concrete jungle.

[Kimmy]

The city that never sleeps. Have heard of it.

[Nicole]

And I lived in a city.

[Sasheer]

The Big Apple.

[Kimmy]

The.

[Nicole]

Yep. So I. I ran out.

[Kimmy]

The island. That's not what it's ever been called.

[Nicole]

The island. I lived on the Big Cheese.

[Kimmy]

The Big Cheese Island.

[Nicole]

Or I guess it'd be the little island in comparison to the rest of New York. Anyway, I lived in New York City, and we were all poor. We were in our early 20s. Uh, we had a futon. Two futons as two couches. And then we had a. A massage table found on the street that we used as a dinner table. Um, and then we lived. And then we had a. A TV on a suitcase because we didn't have a TV stand. And then we just, like, kept having conversations to be like, we can't live like this, so. And I would lead the charge. I'd be like, guys, we have to get a dining room table. So then we found a used one on Craigslist for, like, $50, went and picked it up, put it in a cab, put it in the house. And then I was like, we need another chair. We only have one. So then we found it was just, like, steps at a time, and everyone was in agreeance. And then it was like we all pooled our money to make. You know, we all put 10 bucks down for it to be. Even for the cheap shit we put in there. I wouldn't spend too. Too much money, though, to try to make it nice. You can spend a little bit of. A little bit of money goes a long way. You can always paint things. We painted our dining room table to make it cuter. We painted the chairs. We added fabric to the seats. In hindsight, not great, but, like, good for what we needed. Also, rugs go a long way. You can get a used rug somewhere, buy it from somebody. We bought a couch, but we were treating it the same way we were treating the futon, and we immediately broke it. Um, so it's like, if you're gonna invest in things, like, be nice, treat it nicely. But, yeah, just talk to your friends. Be like, let's. Let's up. Let's do. Let's do something cute. Let's live cutely.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. And it could be, like, maybe a fun activity for you guys to say, maybe you should go shopping. Or if they're not into shopping, you can, like, text some things when you go to the stores and be like, do you like this? Like, and I love getting used stuff. A lot of my furniture is used.

[Nicole]

Go to Goodwill.

[Sasheer]

You can go to St. Vincent de Paul. Salvation Army. Habitat for Humanity has stores called Restore or Craigslist or Facebook Market.

[Nicole]

Like, they said, I'm leery of the street just now as an adult because of the bugs that live in the bed.

[Sasheer]

The bugs, then. Bugs.

[Nicole]

Yeah, yuck, yuck, yuck.

[Sasheer]

If it's anything that has. Has fabric on it. No, but.

[Nicole]

Yes, but if you find chairs with fabric on the street, you can rip the seat out and then redo the seat. It's a lot of DIY. I did a lot of DIY shit in my early 20s, and I liked it. Like, I would finish a project and be like, I did that. That's like, really fucking cute. Yeah, we were really proud of ourselves with that kitchen table. And in hindsight we did a bad job. And when I moved out to, when I moved out to la, I was like, I don't want to spend money on a dresser that I have to put together that's not going to last a long time. So I went to St. Vincent de Paul. I found a pretty sturdy dresser and then I spray painted it and then sealed it and then sanded it down a little bit so it wasn't as like sticky or whatever because I didn't use like furniture paint. And that lasted me for like two years. And it was like really cute. And it was in my room and I made it purple with a glitter top and some gold handles. And I loved her. I loved her till I sold her. So yeah, it's also fun to look around your room, be like, I did that. Yeah.

[Sasheer]

And I also say maybe before you get new stuff, maybe go with the roommates and kind of analyze what is still needed. Like, do we need the beer pong table or does it, or can we, Is there a better place to store it? Or.

[Nicole]

Yeah, that could go like a, like behind a couch and pulled out for beer ponging.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

Or you can use your like dining room table to beer pong. You don't need a whole beer pong table.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, yeah. Or is there a cute like table cover that they could put over the beer pong table and then they can take it off whenever they want? Beer pong.

[Nicole]

I mean, that is an option. And also if these are male identifying people, I feel like it's easy to sway them cuter.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, they won't have any opinions. Oh, I don't, I don't wanna say that. I wanna say they won't have any opinions, but it's possible if they haven't already tried to decorate their home. Maybe they don't have opinions about this.

[Nicole]

Yeah, many bedrooms I've been in where there's no bed frame and there it's okay. Or a chair and a couch, like a, like a couch and a tv and you're like, oh, you don't want a coffee table or a rug. And then you never heard of a curtain that's not part of the vocab. A curtain, you don't want that. So yeah, many a gentleman, I once went to this man's house where he didn't have a bed frame. He had a rocking chair in the corner and a big bottle of jerkin. Sex with a bed. And I stayed.

[Sasheer]

Oh God, of course.

[Nicole]

Wow. That was, like, a real memory.

[Sasheer]

When I first went to my man's place, I remember there was, like, just a pile of, like, it seemed like garbage. Like, there was a fully broken chair in the corner. I picked it up, and it fell apart in my hands, and I was like, well, is there a reason it's still here?

[Nicole]

Like, are you gonna fix it?

[Sasheer]

He's like, no, we're just gonna, like, put it there for a minute until we figure out what to do with it. I was like, take it to the curb. Nope. Get rid of it. You don't need this broken chair here.

[Nicole]

I've heard this story so many times, and I think it's like a. It's like an implanted memory. Because it was a chair you thought you could sit, and you picked it up and it crumbled. And you were like, this chair doth forsake me.

[Sasheer]

You need to give it a proper burial. You can't just have a dead chair in the corner. Are you kidding me? This is disrespectful.

[Nicole]

That's so funny.

[Sasheer]

Just a corpse. A skeleton chair.

[Kimmy]

Jack Charrington.

[Sasheer]

Wait, what's this?

[Kimmy]

A Nightmare Before Christmas.

[Nicole]

Okay.

[Sasheer]

Yes.

[Nicole]

Okay.

[Sasheer]

Wow. From someone who knew nothing about that movie.

[Kimmy]

It's a ghoulish movie. It's so scary. I couldn't believe there was children at that screening.

[Sasheer]

It's. It's.

[Nicole]

It's spooky.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

But there.

[Sasheer]

No, there are scary parts to it.

[Nicole]

It's terrifying. A man, I think, took his skin off and was filled with bugs.

[Sasheer]

He was filled with bugs. Yeah. The boogeyman.

[Nicole]

And. And children were like, yes. I couldn't believe it. But I did love that big black man, which is a wild way to describe somebody, but I cannot remember his character.

[Sasheer]

Ken Page.

[Nicole]

Yes. Ken Page. We. I think we've talked about Kim Page before. I think about him often. Yeah, I do. What's he doing?

[Sasheer]

So talented.

[Nicole]

Yeah. Who's he talking to? Like, are they enjoying his voice as much as they should be? He's such a great voice.

[Sasheer]

Very great voice. Yeah. Should we answer another question?

[Nicole]

Hell, yeah, dude.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Nicole]

Hi, Nicole. Hi, Sasheer. Nicole, this is a super side note, but I told my friend I would see if you could recall this meet and greet. My friend Alyssa actually got to meet you after a show in Moscow, Idaho. I've never been to Idaho. And she. Oh, maybe I went to Idaho for a college show with Torco and ucb. She was the weird girl who cried when she met you. If this helps, she kind of laugh, cries or wails. In a way. Anyway, she loves you both and she's now going to listen to this podcast per my recommendation.

[Sasheer]

I would guess you get a lot of people crying when they meet you.

[Nicole]

Yes. And I asked them pointedly to stop. I say, please stop. I don't know how to take this in. Or I respond, I'm not vulnerable and this is hard for me.

[Sasheer]

Too many emotions, don't know how to deal with it.

[Kimmy]

Too many.

[Nicole]

But it is nice. It is nice that people like me and I do appreciate it.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, I have a fun little query for you both. She lives in Idaho and I am in Washington State. I loved your idea from a couple episodes ago of sending someone care packages to long distance friends to make her day brighter or to get her to giggle. What are some fun items or gag gift ideas to send to her if you have any. Not rude or messy gag gifts, but maybe like a miniature figure of a toilet.

[Nicole]

Yeah, I think a miniature anything that they like is fun.

[Sasheer]

Yeah. You give me mini chairs and I almost cry every time.

[Nicole]

Uh huh. Gave you that little car. And my favorite thing about giving you that itty bitty little RAV4 is you went, oh. And then you bent over and immediately knew how to play with it. I didn't know it wound up at all, but you just like instinctively were.

[Kimmy]

Like, that's how you play.

[Nicole]

And your man was like, whoa. It's fun to watch this happen. So it's funny. Sometimes I really love like when he's around for moments like that because he's like. And he'll say it out loud. He's like, it's wild to watch this in action. Me, like throwing my head back and laughing as you're playing with a toy car that I found in Rite Aid. And we're both elated to do so. I mean, maybe something mentioned in passing like Sasheer bought me a Hess truck, which is now in my. I saved the box. I don't know why. I don't think I'm gonna use the box for anything, but it's on display in my glass case of things I value and my books. I sobbed when I opened that because it was just like this offhand thing that I said that I wanted and never got. But then she knew. I love flames, so it has flames on it. And I love motorcycles and has motorcycles just like in the back. Man, I get.

[Kimmy]

I get so excited.

[Nicole]

So like things, things like that, like I'm trying to think what do people. Okay, Kimmy, what is one of your favorite things?

[Jordan]

Oh goodness. This is Jordan you're next. I like plants a lot. Flowers. I love flowers. I know a lot of people don't like them, but flowers are my favorite.

[Nicole]

So I would find, like, a little miniature flower thing. Like a little, like, plastic thing of flowers. Like maybe, like. Like Lego flowers or something. Or, like, Barbie flowers, like a Barbie bouquet. And like, maybe, like, make a little. And get, like, a little basket from Michael's and make, like, a little bouquet and be, like, thought of you. Because that's, like, a little teeny thing that you could put on your nightstand. And then, like, you'll smile every morning and be like, my friend got me flowers that I always have, and I'd love.

[Sasheer]

I sent someone a tiny, tiny cactus, and it's a real cactus.

[Kimmy]

Fun. Ooh, that's fun.

[Nicole]

I like that. Okay, Jordan, what is your favorite thing?

[Unknown Guest]

I. I don't know if I can say my favorite thing, but what I personally would do for a care package is go to a thrift store and see what little knickknacks would be on the shelf that you could include. Like. Like, you're talking about the little furniture. Like, I can't imagine what people could find in a thrift store.

[Kimmy]

Mm.

[Unknown Guest]

And then the other thing I wanted to suggest is if it's Target, if it's Wherever you're shopping, HomeGoods, Kmart, if Kmart's still around in the office section to tie in with the plants. I recently bought my best friends their push pins, but they're cute little plants that, like, are in a planter. And then there's also. There was a magnet version. So I really like cute, useful things.

[Nicole]

I don't.

[Unknown Guest]

I never want to get my friends something that's not useful. Like, of course, a bouquet of flowers is really nice. I always splurge on my friends and buy them chocolate dipped strawberries, and we'll send them to their house from time to time.

[Nicole]

That's nice.

[Sasheer]

Yeah, we haven't gotten any. Jordan.

[Nicole]

Just putting it out there, suggesting that we. You sent me Sherry's berries. Someone sent me Sherry's berries.

[Jordan]

Oh, we sent that to you.

[Nicole]

I probably suggested it because that's what I knew.

[Jordan]

It was like something specific had happened. Oh, I think it's when you broke your leg. The comp earwol. I. E. Me, Colin and Jordan sent you Sherry's berries.

[Nicole]

It was very on your legs. And I ate them right up. People kept bringing me food, and I was like, yum.

[Unknown Guest]

I also would like to say, and I got this for my best friend for her birthday, which was on the 7th of this month. And I got her because I feel like it's really bougie and adult is. I got her like a Harry and David basket.

[Kimmy]

Oh.

[Unknown Guest]

So there's like, there's fruits in it. There's cheeses, there's a wine. There's like, total bougie. Like, I.

[Nicole]

It's.

[Unknown Guest]

To me, it's such an adult gift to get.

[Sasheer]

It does feel very adult. Yeah. My man's parents send them out for Christmas and we got one, and I'm like, it's just like, good snacks.

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Nicole]

I'm. Oh, this is a nice website. It's purple. I'm on the Harry and David website. Oh, yeah.

[Unknown Guest]

I think their colors are purple and gold and their pears are very good.

[Kimmy]

Yeah, that's what.

[Unknown Guest]

They're famous pears.

[Jordan]

They just send a box of nice pears and man, it's a nice time.

[Nicole]

How does everybody know about. About Harry and David? They have entrees they'll send you.

[Sasheer]

Whoa.

[Nicole]

They have an Italian food collection. Ham, turkey, chicken pot pie.

[Kimmy]

Yeah. Send your friend a chicken pot pie. You can send them a ham buffet gift basket.

[Nicole]

Wait, this is nuts. And it comes all cooked up. Whoa.

[Unknown Guest]

I think it. Depending on what basket. I know the basket I personally got because my best friend loves cheeses and also meats. And so I think it was like a cured meat and cheese basket along with, like, their pears and fruits. I wanted to pick something that she would enjoy, but I also didn't want to be like, I got you all this chocolate or all the sweets. I wanted to, like an array of things for her.

[Sasheer]

Yeah.

[Kimmy]

You get a deluxe ham brunch banquet with wine.

[Sasheer]

A banquette.

[Nicole]

I don't know what that is.

[Sasheer]

I don't either. This is. I'm.

[Nicole]

This is really incredible. I'm gonna order a honey ham for myself.

[Kimmy]

You get one every week. Who's starting this?

[Nicole]

The subscription of a ham a week.

[Sasheer]

Me and my family need a ham a week.

[Kimmy]

Who's running through hams every week?

[Nicole]

That's funny. I love honey baked hams.

[Kimmy]

Great sashir.

[Nicole]

Have you had. Have you guys had a honey baked ham?

[Sasheer]

Pretty sure I have.

[Nicole]

Yeah. Okay. Wanna hear something disgusting?

[Sasheer]

Okay.

[Nicole]

When I was little, so we would have ham for Thanksgiving. That was our treat. Cause my dad, he didn't really eat pork or anything. So we would get ham as a treat on Thanksgiving and we would also get pound.

[Sasheer]

Wait, are you saying that your. Your dad wouldn't eat it?

[Nicole]

My dad didn't eat pork, so we didn't have pork in the house a lot.

[Sasheer]

Oh, but you would, for a treat, have ham on holiday?

[Nicole]

Yes. Thanksgiving in particular. And when I was little, I was like, salty and sweet is how you say my love. Language. So I would take some ham, salt, some pound cake, and some vanilla ice cream and eat it all together. Isn't that sick?

[Sasheer]

Huh?

[Nicole]

But I'm, like, hurting for it right now. Yeah, you're, like, wiggling your shoulders.

[Kimmy]

I looked at all those pictures of honey baked hands and I said, what if I were to get one?

[Sasheer]

It doesn't sound terrible.

[Nicole]

Okay, thank you. I feel like. I feel really vulnerable saying that combo out loud.

[Sasheer]

Thank you for sharing that with us. You're very brave.

[Nicole]

Thank you. Thank you. I try to be brave every day.

[Unknown Guest]

Really quick, going back to your Thanksgiving one, did you not eat turkey either?

[Nicole]

No, we ate turkey, so. Okay, we would have turkey. A honey baked ham. Gotcha. Sweet potatoes, but not the way that other people have them. We would have marshmallows on them. And then sometimes you would have sweet potatoes with just, like, the goopy sugar and the syrupiness. But I like the ones with the marshmallows. And then you'd have, like, corn of sorts. And I'd be like, why? And then we would have the. What's it, the cranberry sauce or whatever. We would have lasagna. My mom would make a lasagna.

[Sasheer]

Oh, wow.

[Nicole]

Mashy potatoes, green beans, and then greens. I think that's it.

[Sasheer]

That's great. That's a lot of food.

[Nicole]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sasheer]

Oh, I thought of another gift. Dried flowers.

[Nicole]

Oh, dried flowers are great.

[Sasheer]
