There should be a way to just have a single ordinary thought and immediately have it translated into a physical manifestation of my misunderstanding of what “Art” is! And it should be RIGHT NOW because I have to go to the CAR DEALERSHIP later! Well, luckily, that seems to be the only problem American Capital is aiming to solve, beyond “make sure no one has jobs anymore”, which is also going VERY WELL! As maddening as that is, I think I’ll try to relax. Hand me my towel with a picture of an asshole on it, I’ll be in the backyard drinking a particular kind of malt beverage that is marketed to reinforce my particular neuroses. And oh yeah, wearing my (Howard Stern voice) CHRISTIAN THONG! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Snoopy and the gang are going for a ride in the new Chrysler Pacifica. And why not! They’re ostensibly children, despite being something like 80 years old by this point, so there’s simply no doubt they would take full advantage of the best-in-class technology and entertainment on offer in the well-appointed Premium trim or even in the luxurious, top-of-the-line Pinnacle edition. Why, I could see the entire Peanuts crew now, charging up their personal devices in all 3 rows, connecting to the available onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and even streaming the latest and greatest programming on the optional 11” headrest monitors! Because whether you’re on the way to soccer practice, visiting grandma and grandpa at their old lake house, or going airborne after a botched PIT maneuver because a crackhead in a neck gaiter mistook your daughter’s My Little Pony blanket for a Pride bumper sticker, every day is an adventure in the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. I’ll bring the soda.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman,

I respect the hell outta y’all for listening to this show. It takes a lot of damn guts to sit down and figure out your bluetooth while you’re driving your car. There’s some real chutzpah involved in throwing in some HeadBudz and halfway paying attention to 2 jagoffs talking shit while you’re washing a dish. I mean it. Hell, I could never do it. But I do want to ask you this. Do you have what it takes? I mean do you really think you got it in ya? Can you reach way down deep, and come up with the motherfuckin ATTITUDE necessary to join the airport revolution!? Yeah, I thought not. Stick to podcasts. And regular roasting pans. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

The year is 2025. Someone is writing “The World’s First” on their little piece of crap they invented and not wondering why someone else didn’t get to it first. This will presumably never stop happening. I mean why, would it? When you can cop a mad deece six figgies off a picture frame with a speaker in it, why would you ever iterate on someone else’s design? You’ve got the magic damn touch! Your ideas are divine! Actually, hey, since you’re noodling on stuff, I got a problem. I’m wasting like 20 hours a year on…no, not moving carpet around. It’s a coffee thing. You know what, lemme call you back. I have a Pickleball game starting in a minute. Did you know it’s the fastest growing…oh you hung up. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Wow! With apologies to our friends from What A Time To Be Alive, I admit this has been one heck of a week to be saying that phrase! For one thing, it looks like Taco Bell is bringing back some of their classic menu favorites, plus I’m just getting over a small toe injury from a couple of weeks ago, and there’s a new game out that I’m not going to play but I bet some of my friends will. Busy, busy, busy! But as crazy as this has all been, I know I’ll be waking up tomorrow and starting another week off with a bang. Well, I guess that doesn’t make sense if you don’t know I wrote the episode descriptions on Sunday. Oh gosh…now I feel like I gotta start all over.

Down…set…hut hut…Podcast! It’s football season and oh man that’s funny I just saw Fireman Ed on TV. I thought he was giving it up because they didn’t put him on the Jumbotron enough. What happened, Ed? Couldn’t come up with anything else to do on Sundays? Looks like he assaulted a guy as well. Check out his Wikipedia page picture also. Funny. He is, of course, the most normal NFL fan. Anyway, congrats to all sports fans on this auspicious occasion! Let’s celebrate with a little Kickstarter action. In today’s trenches, we’re going head to head with a brand new information network and platform, tossing up a hail mary with a new popsicle convention, and dancing in the endzone with a horny comic book. Don’t sit on the bench…sit on your ass, and listen to the show! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

How to Become A Millionaire with ChatGPT, from the guys who need $150. Alright, look. It’s getting to be a little bit like when that psychic hotline went under, and everybody said “hey didn’t they see that coming?” which is hack, of course. But…I dunno. Maybe it’s right! Let’s have a little space for the Reddity logic guys. Maybe if you can make a million bucks off ChatGPT, you should have to do it first, instead of asking me to help! What’s even the excuse…you didn’t feel like it? Well I don’t either! Let’s just both enjoy being poor and stop trying to sell e-courses. Plus, there’s a Christmas Alien named after poop.

Together, you’ve heard them 14 times on YKS, and on their streams and podcasts, perhaps millions more. But today is not about that. Today is about…pumpy. Actually I forget what that was. So let’s say that today is about Kickstarters. Even though it rarely is, of course. And as you can see by the prodigious runtime of this episode, it had very little chance to be the exception proving the rule. But what if it were? Well you’d probably hear about a celebrity’s crazy vanity project, a guy’s crazy book, and some crazy fake science. And there would be 4-5 of us going crazy thinking and talking about those things. Plus! Some very normal things as well. Just kidding.Watch Demi’s new show, SYWWAPP

What if masculinity could be redefined? Well, I don’t know. I don’t really know what that means. It sounds like something Tom Brady would say on a Sunday morning in a watch commercial while I’m ambling to the kitchen to get more chips. But now knowing it’s some dummy sitting in front of his TV cords mumbling about eating vegetables or something, well hey, now I’m ready to sign up to go to some weird man yelling camp! On today’s show, as AuGuest continues, we’re joined by a man truly worth listening to…if you’re not on the other end of a prank call, that is. It’s Chris James! And he is not wearing poopy diapers. He asked me to say that.Check out Chris on Guys, the podcast about guys, and his new show The Actually Serious Show now available at patreon.com/notevenashowMusic for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

They call it AuGuest…but they should be calling it “Aw yeah! This month is “Au” – the periodic symbol for the element gold, that is. Because the guests, the Kickstarters, the production, and hey even the hosts themselves…they’re as good as gold! But unlike gold, you won’t find something this glittery – although not everything that glitters is it – in the ground, but rather in the digital files of my very device, which is itself “grounded”, but when I listen I feel as high as a kite! And the kite, of course, my dear friends, is as golden as the podcast itself, and the wonderful friends I’ve made listening to it – that’s right, I’m talking about you.” But that wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt, so they don’t.

What do you get when you cross August the month with Guests, the people you have on your show sometimes? Well you get a fresh pair of eyes on the interesting yet crazy Kickstarters of the day, a ton of laughs, and oh yeah, you get AuGuest, the brand new concept rolling into YKS just this very month! Join us and inaugural guest Stefan Heck as we take a look at computer mouse storage, a music pleasure insertion toy, basically the chairs from WALL-E, and some Kickstarters that Stefan brought as well. Wait, I just remembered he didn’t bring any. What the hell!? Why didn’t he do anything? Freakin numbnuts.Listen to Stefan’s show Blocked Party, now exclusively on Patreon, at Patreon.com/BlockedParty, and hey why not watch him live every Monday - Thursday at Twitch.tv/GoOffKings? Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Gimme the clicker! I wanna watch YourHometv.com! Ah crap. All they’re playing is this stupid podcast. It looks like it’s hosted by 2 total morons. Heh. They’re ugly as well. And they seem depressed but not in an interesting way? Shit hold on they’re gonna discuss Kickstarter…that feels fresh. Let’s see what they got. Well it’s 45 mins in and they haven’t said anything about the Kickstarters. They’re mostly talking about doctors appointments and TV remotes. Well I checked the guide and apparently they’re gonna eventually get to bible memes, 1000 bad jokes, and a real sicko’s attempt to grift a luxury car. Evidently  there’s an actual good idea at the end. But I’m not waiting over 2 hours just to hear that. I gotta go play with my bath toys.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

I just want to say before anyone listens to this episode…I LOVE true crime! Podcasts, Dateline, asking Chappy Tea to embellish the grisly details of case files I looked up with a hacked PACER account…I can’t get enough. So when I imply in this episode that I think the cottage industry exploiting the victims of physical violence for t-shirt sales is horrifically sad and beneath contempt, I was talking about something else. Or I got confused or I was taken over by a brain thing or something. I got all messed up for a sec. It’s cool though. Anyway what else?Oh yeah. Farts are funny and I’m a ninja pimp.

I hate my RV. Why did I decide to buy it? Why am I living in a big car? Aren’t I supposed to be enjoying my life at this age? I worked hard, dammit! And that slick salesboy at the dealership talked me into buying this big hulking bus. I look like I’ve got Aerosmith in here, but it’s just me, my wife, 6 of the most disgusting and worst behaved dogs this side of a Stephen King movie, a steel trash can full of Labubus, and a satellite dish. I wish I were dead! The only animating force in this life is the haunting spectre of dirt collecting in the entryway. Each day it calls me, and I answer! Toiling in its wake like Sisyphus! What benevolence will release me from this Hell?! Hopefully there’s like a small piece of plastic or something. Or, at the very least, a wetworks mercenary figurine I can put on the dashboard.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

On this episode of YKS, we’ve got more Kickstarters than you can shake a stick at. That is, until they Kickstart a really big stick! Oh golly…don’t give ‘em any ideas. Actually, do. That would help them and help me. What other ideas do you got? Do you have any ideas about how certain pleasant strokables might be improved? Or perhaps some thoughts on making sports betting more crypto-friendly? What about a sitcom that’s, uh, well, I don’t know. Maybe don’t do the sitcom one. Tell you what, listen to this episode of the show, THEN come up with ideas. THEN I can have the ideas. And THEN they make a crazy movie about my life starring Zac Efron. And you, my friend, my inspiration, you can see the movie. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

D drive…more like double d drive. Bazonga.exe! I’m not going to do any more computer puns in the episode description because, frankly, it’s not what the episode is about. And that makes it a disservice to you, the listener, and a distraction to everything going on in the world today. So I’ll simply say that on this episode we talk about some Kickstarters that are pretty interesting on their own, but really get taken up a couple of notches with some of the signature banter between Mike and JF, and, most likely, Producer Dan as well. They talk about beer, golf, smart locks, Will Smith, and who knows else! It’s just that kind of crazy episode. And oh yeah by the way, I am going to RAM my computer.

Snakes ain’t always in the stuff!!! Sharks ain’t always in the something!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! That is so scary to think about. But don’t worry. It’s just some stupid bullcrap some jerkoff thought up. The truth, of course, is somewhere in the middle. And in the middle of today’s episode are some really interesting Kickstarters. Looks like we’ve got some glowing rocks which is great. Love that. And also there seem to be some people having problems with toothbrushes that I’ve not really been struggling with myself. And yes, of course there are some toilet and bible weirdos as well…after all, why not! Why wouldn’t there be toilet and bible weirdos! That’s what the show is all about!

I just found out I have a power bank that’s been recalled. That’s pretty annoying. Now I gotta fill out some forms, dispose of it properly, and wait around for a reimbursement. Plus, I guess, hope it doesn’t explode. That would suck! But you know what else has been recalled? The Kickstarters from this week’s episode, by me, when I reread what we were doing when we recorded this episode! I guess that doesn’t really add much “zing” for you guys, to know that I was looking at this and kind of nodding a little bit. But I believe in full transparency in the creative process! For instance, On today’s show we were GROWLing…but our dogs were all too cool, thanks to a new type of harness tech! Plus we wanted to COMMIT to funding the arts in Florida…but we canceled all those plans. And…a third one! What’s it gonna be? Guess you’ll have to TUNE in to “find out”!

Another Crazy Monday…Another Crazy YKS. This is one crazy show, and what does that make the listeners of it? Ha. Well, you guessed it and said it. Not me! But hey. Enough craziness…or is it? Not for this crazy guy! Nothing is ever enough! Except when it comes to have six Kickstarter projects to talk about on one episode, in which crazy case I find to be the exact correct amount. Curious, that! That being said, what would they even be…?Some Japanese treats for your dog, a card game about pimping, and a dashboard toy of a twerking lady? Well, there’s only one word for that. And oh yeah…it’s YKS!!! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.
