Worst Contact chronicles the adventures of Tobes and Jesse. Our intrepid slackers are thrust into the spotlight after their middling podcast "Gnar Talk Radio" is accidentally uploaded to the NASA deep-space radio broadcast. It is well received by an alien culture who take it upon themselves to make first contact with Earth. Too bad they only want to learn of our existence from these two dopes.
