Hi friends. Nicole and Sasheer see Beyoncé! Sasheer is fascinated by the obscure comparisons of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift's tours. Nicole learns that Taylor Swift has a huge fan base. Also, they play Besting Each Other with comedians Ron Funches and Gabe Dinger. Ron says that he met Gabe in Portland, Oregon doing standup comedy. Gabe loves that Ron is loyal and believes in him. Ron loves that Gabe is a true blue dude and one of the best supporters he’s ever met. Ron hates when Gabe does political impressions… in conversations. He’s good at it, he just hates them. Gabe hates when Ron doesn’t communicate well. They both agree that Gabe would do better on Survivor and they both want to be doing standup comedy 20 years from now. Are they really Best Friends?

Friends, it's time for….. Besting Each Other with comedians Kenny DeForest and David Drake! Kenny knew he was going to be friends with David when he saw David crush at an open mic and the crowd went crazy when he rapped an epic freestyle. David loves going on “boys trips” with Kenny, especially their trip to San Antonio, Texas. Kenny loves that David speaks plain and straight to the point. David doesn’t like it when Kenny asks him to be involved in bad sketch ideas while Kenny hates it when David just says “It’s fine man.” Sometimes… it's not fine! They both think Kenny would do better on the show Survivor and after multiple tries, in 20 years they both want to be doing well in the industry and have David’s daughter and Kenny's future daughter to be friends. Together, Nicole and Sasheer determine whether or not they are friends! This was recorded August 30th, 2023.
