Mike Hale and Jesse Farrar comb through the crowdfunding dumpster to tell you what projects are worth supporting with your hard-earned dollar. So far, it's been absolutely nothing, but whether it's a social media website for dogs, a toilet brush that reminds you to drink more water, or 5,000 offensive card games, maybe something will eventually be good!

    I checked this show out because the hosts were funny on Guys. I was greatly disappointed. Way too many ads. Way too much time spent talking about things other than the subject of the show. I eventually turned it off when they were discussing having on guests who had cold called them about being on, and the hosts’ conclusion was that it would be too mean. I’ll pass, being mean to strangers is the height of comedy.
