For this week's episode, Palma and Kempa are exploring the what and why of one of San Francisco's foremost venture capital projects: Y Combinator.

Venture capital has become the scourge of San Francisco culture. And Y Combinator stands at the forefront of that cancer.

We take a look at some of the dumbest shit that ghouls like Garry Tan and his ilk have been willing to invest in. We're sure you'll enjoy.
