Hey, Homies! Not only does Ashley tell you about the unfathomable death of Mary Reeser from July 2, 1951, but you also get to hear the first submitted "Hometown Story", AND we finally get to reveal what project we are helping with! 😲
Also, our apologies. Ashley mispronounces Mary's last name a few times at the beginning of her story. This was not intentional & not noticed until editing.

So, if you want to hear us just give our life updates, make fun of each other, and just generally banter for a few minutes, here ya go! Thanks for your continued support ❤️🖤💛

As promised, Sarah makes up for her absence last week with a make-up episode! (Skip to 9:20 to bypass chitchat.) The main story is the tragic family annihilation of the Sueppels in Iowa City, Iowa, from 2008. After that, she does share what she was trying to work on last week (spoiler, it turns out that it doesn't disappoint!)
