I grew up in Dubuque and people keep telling me that the city is spending a whole bunch of money to attract Internet start-ups. Good job, guys, you cornered the highly-sought-after aftermarket toothpaste gear market.

That was amazing, I can't wait to hear the next episode in the Crowd-funding Trilogy.

While listening to the episode I mumbled aloud, "Not enough stickers," right before Boots said the same thing. It was eerie.
Also, I'm glad the power of crowdfunding has finally made it possible for me to enter a raffle for a buried shipping container.

What a coincidence: I was about to get started on a GoFundMe (http://www.gofundme.com/) document, but sadly, I just couldn't find enough money-starved-but-why-earn-it cases to make for a complete episode.

The whole time I was listening to this, I was envisioning a "The Producers" type situation wherein scammy people try to set up a horrible indiegogo to get that sweet sweet flex funding, but it turns out that everyone on the Internet wants to buy a motherfucking sticker to end racism and they have to follow through.
I'm thinking of crowd funding this movie of mine.

I'm pretty sure that everything the "Ultimate Crack Smoking Wizard" guy makes is ironic because he's got a ton of videos on YouTube with the same motif and the video on that Indiegogo of his is pretty popular, with everyone accepting it as ironic.
Oh well. Same sort of rule goes for all that fanfiction that turns out to be most likely written horribly on purpose— it's still funny, and this guy took his dear time to make a whopping total of 64 videos of the same sort of sarcastic theme. We can still mock him for putting time and (some degree of) effort into them.
That being said, he still managed to make a profit of over $100 out of it, and I'm not sure how I should feel about that.

The "watermelon straps" idea made me think about how much money I can probably make by taking a classic USSR bag called an avos'ka and rebranding it for the Kickstarter hipster generation.

I actually ran a successful campaign on Indiegogo with flexible funding (gasp). I originally wanted to do Kickstarter because they seemed more credible, but Kickstarter doesn't allow you to promise any of your funds to charity. Half of my funds were going to charities, so Kickstarter wasn't an option. So, off to Indiegogo I went. Flex funding is actually the default option. I changed it, but they informed me that without flex funding, you will NOT be able to accept credit cards. With flex funding, you get the money immediately. Well, paypal money at least. Credit card funds come a couple days after your campaign ends. A friend asked me if there was anything stopping me from taking the thousands I raised and running with it. Really, there's nothing stopping people. So... on Indiegogo you can promise to donate money to charity, get money immediately, and take the money and run. But, if the person was honest or not, Indiegogo still gets a cut, so I bet they don't care. They really really want you to do flexible funding.
One more delightful thing: my campaign was "trending" on the website. I was thrilled that it was on the popular section with Solar Roadways! However, on the list I was right next to a sex toy that claimed to give men the best blow jobs ever. Mine was about helping disabled cats in shelters, so my cute cat icon was right next to a fuck toy. Mortifying. Thanks Indiegogo!

Pando has run a number of stories on IndieGoGo's indifference to profiting off scams, specifically HealBe; the smart watch that reports your calorie intake to your phone because science.
Here is every article (http://pando.com/tag/healbe/) on the subject.

Maybe it's like the Hitchhiker's guide, where it's a trilogy but we just keep tacking more stuff onto it. Or maybe I forgot about the Offbeatr episode when I wrote that.

Just based on the thumbnails and the channel description, she is exactly the sort of person she sounded like in the episode.
She has created 2 groups on the East & West coast called "R.A.N.T": one was to mobilize the black citizens of DC to liberation and the other is her methodology to achieve Inner & World Peace at the same time for the purposes of Ending Racism.

I feel the heart centered quest that Charlizzle and her IDKYBILY project embodies could be a very important gift to the world. I see this gift as a simple path for many people to follow and copy and its effects are clear and immediate. Full #JoyJedi status on this one. -Alexander Polinsky Founder of Avatarism

Well using your audience as a musician to announce support for something positive might be kinda slacktivist but I think it's pretty harsh to call...oh. Nevermind.
EDIT: Actually I've just realized this person's idea is essentially identical to my cousin's current business model, only with stickers instead of a food truck with no food.

Okay, so we've got an old food truck, and one time we drove it to a place and made some meals and gave them away to people. Now, what if we did that again, forever? We drive it to places where poor people live and make full meals and give them away. Okay, now I know what you're thinking, if the food is given away for free, how do you pay for the food? Well, obviously, via the free food truck, which will sustain itself economically (???). Now I know what else you're thinking, this sounds like a charity and not a business plan. You're wrong, though! It's going to make millions of dollars! Also, the end point of this project is saving the world. Now, how are we going to get the initial funding to start all this up? Well, one time we made cotton candy, maybe. We don't have a machine to do that now, but we're going to open up an indiegogo page to fund us getting the cotton candy machine, which we'll take to weird-ass meetups and sell cotton candy there, which will fund the food truck. Anyway, I can't wait to be a multi-millionaire!
I am somewhat removed from this whole situation, so if you run across something in that description that doesn't make sense to you, it's possible that I've misunderstood it. However, it is much more likely that this is 100% accurate.

"Urban Myths Suburban Sluts" has baffled me ever since I first heard this episode, so I googled to see what the fuck it was.
Well apparently this is what the fuck it was (http://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/709?tab=details):
Fish sticks ’n french onion dip forever an assault on every orifice
A spoken word onslaught with the use of white trash invasion costuming and a sticky video/sound environment. Urban myths-suburban sluts, written by Kirsten Macy and Jena Weatherly, is the latest gooey condiment pulled from the Stinki Pen Publishing refrigerator.
Opening and closing the piece is a grocery store feet appetizer and twinkie desert video, sound, and object installation. Then Vision Engine takes you on a spoken word road trip with the Furr family from suburbia heaven to reality ridden hell as a barrage of urban myths affect their ‘perfect lives’ leaving them all contemplating choice, free will and destiny. This 30 minute show surges forward with colorful scripting, questionable costuming and large vats of processed food. The ensemble that makes up this rodeo, beer can production is Parisa Fakhri and Betsy Moore.
Urban myths-suburban sluts is gonzo Sunday school for the credit infected, brain damaged cell phone Me age.
