She’s joined by Len Penzo of the award-winning blog lenpenzo.com and our very own high roller, OG, to carry on the year-long competition by guessing which items are on a top 20 list of things that aren’t worth the money. (Number 14 will shock you!).
Doug also brings some eye-opening trivia about one of America’s biggest vices. Be prepared to be blown away when you hear what it is!
