Your Kickstarter Sucks

I had to pause Family Guy to write this episode description, so it had better be good. On today’s show, we find out you can make pet treats at home with just a blender, steamer, fryer, dehydrator, and quality ingredients you can actually pronounce. We also invented a way to wipe our heads off with a towel. And of course, we also learned about self pleasure. Coincidentally, that’s what the Family Guy episode is about. It’s a Lois episode, so it’s not that good, but what else am I gonna do? Write the episode description? Not likely. Lucky there’s a podcasting guy…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.

If only there were some other way! And if it were a product! That I could maybe buy? Too bad we live in HELL and that’s not real. On today’s show we have a culinary trend from 15 years ago…today! Plus a moron’s 3-steps-removed gambling business, your run of the mill AI Slopfest, and more. Let’s get Christy with it!

It’s not JUST a fun restaurant concept, it’s ALSO a good way to get foodborne illness. Wow! What else could you want? Other than seafood stored at proper temperatures, handwashing protocols observed, and “all the rest”! But still! It’s fun how it goes around on the little train. Or belt or whatever it is. For moron this, check out YKS Premium S33E07. And now, for this other stuff here.That’s right, it looks like we got ourselves a full-fledged episode of YKS with all the trimmings! A crazy guy’s invention? Yes. A crypto scam? Yes. SEVERAL dorks working away at nothing in particular? You got it!

You’d have to be a pretty big idiot, not to mention evil and desperate and talentless, to scan an image of Donald Trump onto a cookie and try to sell it on Kickstarter, to say it’s not political somehow, and then to get a fraction of your meager goal. But oh well. At least you (?????). Sorry that one is really stuck in my craw…like some bush league cookies. I need to take some small kitty cat breaths to calm down. Or perhaps I will put a vibrator on my chest. Ahhh yes. Now, someone bring me my shoe horn!

In terms of our feelings about the industry and its various captains I guess you could say YKS is something of a tech-cynical show. We like our little gadgets enough to not be outright antagonistic, but take a dim view of what counts for progress in the minds of the Silicon Valley elite. In particular, when it comes to the marketing phenomenon known as AI, it’s difficult to imagine what could even possibly qualify as a compelling use case for the technology as we understand it today – and there is no shortage of failures on Kickstarter.com. However, on today’s episode, that all changes. Someone figured out how to make AI clean up cat poop. Plus, we’re taking Christianity to the moon, social media outdoors, and males to FreedomTV.

Well, you’d have to be something of a computer fan to understand today’s episode title…and no, I’m not talking about Be Quiet!, Lian Li, Noctua, or Cooler Master! But if you’ll shut up for a second, you’ll see I’m clearly joking, and there’s plenty of comedy to be found in today’s episode. Why, how could it NOT be funny to talk about a parrot babysitting your sundowning parents or a fascist sympathizer making a corny board game? Obviously we had no choice but to “overclock” the funny meter and generate dozens of PetaLaughs per hour! Oh Lois! You’re gonna love this episode!

I “hop” every one had a “hoppy” Easter. And that today is a “hoppy Monday” also! But enough fun. That is over. Leave that in the weekend. It’s time to get to work. Stop smiling. Plug your headphones in. Listen to the show. Let’s take this seriously. Get this one right and we’ll never have to do it again. Got it?! Good. Now on with the show……which today has some pretty fun stuff in it. We hand out some Donkey awards. And we learn about the power of organization. Plus we find out maybe our beards aren’t very alpha, and at long last – a solution for those pesky water bottles we are always accumulating! All in all, a pretty good episode which is a worthy successor to the big crazy day we had yesterday. I think we would all “hoppily” agree.

Twenty twenty twenty four minutes to go…I want to hear the podcast! Imagine if we were posting this episode just 24 minutes before it was supposed to go live. That would certainly be a stressful situation…and maybe it’s even happened before! But nowadays we’re a little bit wiser, a LOTTA bit older, and let’s just say we got it in with plenty of time to spare. Pause. On today’s show we’ve got a kitchen device that will have you saying “That’s maybe 2 things. Definitely not 10, and no way is it 12”, a kitchen device that will have you saying “Who in the world could possibly justify this…why would you make this…”, and a kitchen device that will have you going “Well, that doesn’t really feel like a product at all. It’s borderline an idea.” I guess there are a few kitchen things today but the rest of them are the normal crap. So get out the knife and fork and plate and napkin and stuff like that…it’s time to YKS!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additiona

Been crafting your reality lately? Well we have. That’s why demons are in charge of the world, the economy is in the toilet, and tornadoes are whizzing past our houses. We’re not that good at it! Someone else should be crafting our reality…but without the right app, there’s no hope. Plus, even if we did have the perfect reality creating app, we would probably be too busy waiting for our stupid tattoo artist to get done stenciling the piece of art that will be a permanent fixture on our skin (why do they take like 35 mins???) or worse, spending time with our children. Gah! And what fucking temperature is it outside! Why won’t my mug tell me!!! I need help. And a Lot of it. Right now. Luckily there’s a new episode of YKS! But Doctor…you know. That whole thing.

Who’s getting canceled! I need to know this. It’s important to know who that is happening to! Because I assume it is a lot of people. Presumably it is, right? It’s only a few or several years later. And nothing has really changed since then. Plus there’s a game about it, which usually indicates some level of relevance. Yep. All in all, I’d say someone is getting canceled. God, I hope it’s no one I care about! The consequences, we assume, would be dire. Well anyway on today’s show there’s that kind of stuff. And some Catholic stuff (don’t write in saying you’re Catholic I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And some surfing stuff (don’t write in saying you’re a surfer I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And of course, our old friend Stringy.

It’s finally time to discover the future of bathrooms. What is it? What will it be? A toilet with a battery? That weird grilling situation from the old Home Improvement episodes? A sink with “good vibes”?? Nope! It’s got to be a bidet with a sticker of “The Dude” from Big Lebowski on it. If that’s what the future of bathrooms is, then get me that damn DeLorean! I’m going back to the past!! Is that what happened in that movie? I honestly don’t remember. I hate Back to the Future. But this isn’t about that. It’s about other stuff.Like an incomprehensible AI show, an inscrutable AI text messaging app, and a downright confusing conspiratorial book pitch from a guy I wouldn’t trust to find an Easter egg, much less a missing person. Easter’s coming up. Don’t forget to get your eggs. Oh God, I just realized…Easter’s gonna cost a fortune this year!! Uh yeah, this IS the worst timeline. And me without a DeLorean again…don’t that beat all! (Did they do multiverses in those movies? I honestly don’t know)Music for YKS is

I hate when I flip my ice cube tray over and…something bad happens to the ice? Or the tray? Or, God forbid, me?? I love myself. Even more than ice cubes! This is the kind of thinking that has been abandoned by our Elite Thinkers now of days, and why we end up with more “apps” than “applications”. Well I’m just having a little fun about the destruction of our planet but I do think that it’s more fun when inventors are thinking about stuff that bothers them in the kitchen as opposed to which types of people deserve to continue living. What can I say…I love household gadgets! On today’s show we also have some advancements in the worlds of Plates, some innovation in the dumpster sector, and a strange comic book project that not even the crazy comic heads on this show can quite understand. But hey, I guess that’s this crazy show! And I wouldn’t trade it for the entire world! Would you?Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

“I was once a professional Quake player and won a couple thousand dollars at the first paid esports tournament in the United States.” ← May be true from a certain perspective, if you ignore some key facts and add a generous dose of assuming good faith argumentation. However, “There are at least 6 Kickstarters featured in this week’s episode of YKS” is a statement of fact unassailable by even the most ardent fact-checker. Go ahead, count them yourself! We’ll be waiting. To wit:On today’s show, we have something about Wi-Fi, a stupid golf one, and 4 others. Satisfied? Well me neither but it’s on the damn show so suck it up!

Three Hundred and ninety-four episodes of this crazy show. They should give out awards for that kind of thing. In fact, they do, I’ve decided. And oh yeah, we won one. The big award for having recorded 394 episodes (plus bonus eps). And we won the fuckin thing! We get to do whatever we want with it! I think it should go on our shelf with our other awards (Fark Prize for Excellence in Web Browsing, the big award for having recorded 393 episodes, 2nd place in mike’s work chili cook off).

When it comes to an episode of YKS, there’s gonna be 3 hits. I hit the theme song button, DB hits a couple of home run dingers, and Dan hopefully hits the button that takes out all the times we said our social security numbers, where we live, and actionable threats against celebrities. So maybe like 2.5 hits at best. But still, that’s more than Justin Bieber!On today’s show we have a humpty-hoo and a diddly-doo and a rooty-toot-too! Just kidding. This is for all the true fans that read this far into the episode description. A treat from us to you.

The chimp is named something you wouldn’t quite expect. Ha! I will also be making the game 400 years too late and Crappy as well. Thoughts?Well, I hope they’re good. And I hope YOU’RE good. And I hope this episode is good as well. After all, why wouldn’t it be – it’s the Crazy Kickstarter formula we know and love – along with a couple of twists, of course – and the theme o’ the day is “interesting kickstarters plus some fun comments.” If that don’t whet your whistle, then perhaps some of the YKS guys’ patented Observational Humor will cure what ails ya.
