✨WATCH ON YOUTUBE ✨ This week on Bestie Boos, things get downright unexpected. Sam shares the terrifying story of her 11 year old niece Avalyn, who was hit by a truck on her way to school just one week ago. From the frantic phone call to the hospital updates, we’re giving you the real behind-the-scenes family moments (including the most awkward emoji ever sent in a crisis).
We lighten things up with our pop culture roundup:
• Robert Irwin shines on Dancing With The Stars USA 🦘✨
• Taylor Swift’s The Showgirl Album is heading to theatres 🎬
• Jimmy Kimmel’s controversy (and getting yanked off air) 🎤
• The Summer I Turned Pretty finale breakdown 🌞
• NZ’s Laneway Festival lineup revealed (and why we’re jealous Chappell Roan isn’t headlining Electric Ave 🎶)
Plus, we dive into:
• The shocking cost of Sarah’s $75 doctor PHONE consult 💸
• Friends making wild life pivots (bottle store, hazelnut farm & pottery dreams) 🌰🍶
• An incredible supermarket reunion—when someone thought their bestie was dead 👀
• The mystery of Sarah’s lost friend and her sperm donor sister she’s never met 🤯
This episode is packed with it all, listen up besties, you won’t want to miss this one ✨
