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!

  • Positive masculinity at its finest

    Laughing so hard my uvula clicks twice a week is really underrated. Come for the dick jokes, stay for the dick jokes but also the genuine sweetness of two men who hate AI.

  • It’s mostly them reading ads

    It seems like 90 percent of the show is them reading ads and then the other 10 is extremely unfunny. Kept waiting for them to get to the funny part but then bam they read another ad

  • weak

    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.

Q: How does real-world publishing work for a comics creator compared to traditional publishing?

Episode 468: The Crowdfunding Junkies
Q: Dennis, what is Hand Scoped and how does it work?
Dennis explains that Hand Scoped is a PC-based tactical shooter controlled by a phone's motion sensors, detailing its development and the concept behind using mobile input for a PC game.
Episode 468: The Crowdfunding Junkies
Q: Luke, who are you? What do you do in the company? What's your background on the team?

Episode 460: I Want Hokey Pokey
Q: What makes a Kickstarter project worth backing given all the noise?
