Nicole has a laughing fit in the best way possible. Sasheer tries to understand why. Nicole thinks there is a pun involved in a drug store name. Sasheer doesn’t think so. Nicole had an interesting interaction with a man in an alley way. Sasheer thinks it might be an underwear fairy. Nicole theorizes that if she did take the underwear, it may have led her to true love. This reminds Sasheer of a YouTube video, “The Bread.” Nicole talks about how Sesame Street character Elmo checked up on people on social media and people are not ok.
