Sasheer’s Ripple Effect

Sasheer’s Ripple Effect

Author: Headgum August 5, 2026 Duration: 1:01:47
Nicole and Sasheer have so much to discuss this episode, from detailing times they’ve been tricked by AI to times they’ve been scammed by a fake dinner party invitation. They also get into how many pairs of underwear girls bring on a trip (pretty much all of them), the difference between iPhones and Google Pixels, as well as the joy of creating mysteries for yourself via vague calendar events. Watch this full video on YouTube and follow below!Follow Nicole: Twitter, Instagram, TikTokFollow Sasheer: Instagram, TikTokLike the show?

The dynamic comedy duo of Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata host Best Friends with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata, a podcast that feels like eavesdropping on the most hilarious, unfiltered conversation between two actual best friends. Recorded for Headgum, each episode captures the specific rhythm and chaos of a deep, long-standing friendship, where tangents are the main course and advice is given with equal parts sincerity and absurdity. You'll hear them navigate the mundane and the monumental with the same energy, whether they're dissecting the social ordeal of changing a phone number, lamenting the trials of modern dating, or debating the merits of impulsive new hobbies. The charm lies in their authentic chemistry; it's the laughter that comes from a shared history and the comfort of being completely yourself with another person. This isn't a structured advice show, but you might find solace or solutions in their banter. Ultimately, listening to this podcast is like having a seat at their kitchen table, a welcome dose of camaraderie and comedy that celebrates the messy, essential nature of having-or just appreciating-a best friend.
