Playing dumb is all fun and games until you're on the receiving end of such behavior — we said what we said!

Truly rubbing my last two brain cells together for this one, enter at your own risk!

If it's one thing about us, it's that we're going to buy tickets to the concert! Annie and I take to the podcast to share in our love for being "woo" girls at our favorite live shows, to bitch about music venues that don't have water stations, and to shame our friends who don't know how to purchase concert tickets without getting scammed. (You know who you are — said with love!)
