    I’ve listened to Susie and Sarah from the beginning and they just get better and better. Not only do they provide an outlet every Monday and Thursday in the show, they also are very involved in the community they’ve created. I’ve followed them from the challenge and on every given day I decide if I’m either a Sarah or Susie. Thanks for being the #1 podcast for #2 stories and MORE.

  • Don’t Support Bullies

    Susie Meister was a mean, bullying, tormentor, who

    Played a Game on Inferno 3, with Collie and Cara called, “I hate Tonya because….” And they would take turns saying the cruelest reasons why they HÀTE Tonya. Don’t support this evil mean girl who enjoyed bullying.
