Nikki and Brie had two very different experiences this weekend.

Brie stayed in Tahoe with Bryan and the kids while Nikki went to Atlanta on a work trip that included riding in fast cars with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and hanging out with Bianca Belair.

Nikki felt much better after a stomach bug wreaked havoc on the family, and the calm after that storm has allowed Nikki to live a caffeine-free lifestyle. She likes what she’s experiencing so far. Nikki took the time to research for her upcoming bachelorette party on her flight which led to some incredible ideas 33,000 feet above sea level that all centered around popsicles.

While she was at the NASCAR race to represent her new show, “Barmageddon,” on the USA Network, Nikki's day was full of adrenaline rushes and triple-digit-speeds. Nikki had a few observations about the drivers but a lot more to say about guys the pit crews. So if you’re single and ready to mingle, consider swiping right on a tire changer or a jackman!

Brie’s weekend was a different kind of exciting because it was full of nudity. While boating with the family, Brie encountered multiple people without clothes and without worries. Now, after seeing all that skin glistening in the sun, her internal debate about getting a boob job has ignited once again.

The Bellas also catch up on Bryan’s guest appearance last week. And we get to hear how Nikki’s answers to Bellas Choice compared to the responses from Brie, Bryan, and the audience!

Dipping a toe into the pop culture pond, Nikki & Brie also played Nailed or Failed, covering such topics as sharing DM’s from Doja Cat, Ryan Gosling’s underwear, Florence Pugh’s see-through dress, Elon Musk’s decision not to buy Twitter, Nicole Kidman kissing, and much more.

The episode closes with a The Bellas sharing special Inspiration & Affirmations. In a rare occurrence, we double down on the motivation, and we get one from Brie and one from Nikki.

With just a couple races left in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series, it’s crunch time to try and get a win for those drivers unable to get in on points. Sam Atwell and Brian Dulle are in the FOX4 Race Zone talking Denny Hamlin’s win over what could have been Matt DiBenedetto’s first cup win in the same week it was announced he won’t be racing for Leavine Family Racing in 2020. As well as the horrifying plane crash that Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his family were involved in on their way to Bristol.
