Your Kickstarter Sucks

It's an all-new YKS! Oh my god! On today's show, which works 60% of the time every time, we're talking about comics with a big goofy dog, the invention that will finally save the boring, dying sport of tennis, and a new frontier in nutrient management. Oh, I'm in a glass case of emotion! Come on in and listen to the show gang, everything's cool. We got the blood lady in here, we got gendercoins, the whole thing. Actually now that I'm writing it out there is a lot of stupid shit in here. Wow. Every week, huh? Okay! That's fine! I'm not even mad you ate the whole wheel of cheese.

Okay gang I'm gonna level with ya. I'm about to walk out of the door and I'm gonna rush through this episode description so I can leave. I have a bunch of errands to run. Not really fun stuff either but just the kinda thing you gotta do. Let's get it over with! On today's show we have an Apology of the Week AND a Real or Fake...you don't see that too often anymore. Hell, maybe ever. That's right, this is a YKS First: Two Segments! I've heard of a two drink minimum but this is ridiculous. Ok doesn't really make sense but like I said time is of the essence. Some of the Kickstarters we talk about today: a vacuum that looks like a lightsaber, a bar that doesn't serve any alcohol, and a new supplement for dogs who don't like the taste of normal water. Plus, we have a campaign that we actually kinda like. Alright that looks like about the normal length of one of these so I'm gonna take off. You guys enjoy the episode and, as always, if there's some horrible mistake with the publication or content, please don't hesi

It's Monday, and you know what that means: we all cross our fingers and hope Apple Podcasts pulls its head out of its ass and delivers this week's episode to thousands of our adoring fans. Assuming it works as intended, this week you're gonna get a great show. Mike and JF are talking Kitchen Time, having a Footnotes Fight, and going Neil DeGrasse Tyson style on the goofs and screw-ups of classic slasher Friday the 13th. Plus, we thank America for all its opportunities, get paid to let a social media company spy on us, and finally talk (at great length, and with impressive detail) about AnimeTube, the Kickstarter that's pissing everyone off this week. This ep is so great that absolutely nothing could derail it, save for a malfunctioning RSS backend in the most popular podcasting app, which has no contact form or accountability whatsoever. Anyway, enjoy! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Executive Produc

Hey everybody! I'm writing another episode description today. What are you doing? Send us an email and let us know. On this week's show, we're remembering (vaguely) what happened in baseball a long time ago, exploring the world of Toupo & Dookie, and finding out whose balls these are. What to heck...I thought these were my balls! Oh crud. Plus we're trying out our Australian accents and hoping no one gets mad at that. Or at least at me. I tried my best!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

Another day, another dollar. That's our hardhat, lunchpail approach to creating content, and it most certainly shines through in this episode, yet another instant classic. The 207th in a row. What we've got for you today, gang, is an update on Mike's tooth. And if for some insane reason you need more of a reason to listen than that, well, we also have about 6 Kickstarter projects that we make fun of, and they range from the silly (hand dryer for home use) to the quite frankly absurd (bone conducting mp3 sunglasses). But again, the main thing to remember about this episode is that we are talking about Mike's Tooth. To the extent, quite possibly, that I should have named the episode 207: Mike's Tooth. Too late for me now, though. Not for you! Enjoy the show!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

You already know what time it is! On today's programme, the two perfect friends Mike and JF are plumbing the depths of the data cube, exploiting the byzantine and outdated US tax code, and pivoting last minute to a LIVE Kickstarter selection. Oh yeah, and you could say maybe we're reimagining delivery as well. All that and a brand new segment that Mike really hates, on this episode of YKS! Wow what the fuck! Oh yeah, and for more YKS, how could I damn forget, check out the YKS Premium Patreon. Over there is where we post the absolute USDA Prime Cuts of YKS: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and Ungiving a fuck!

Now just what in the hell was Christopher Nolan smoking when he came up with this one! I don't know, but keep it the hell away from me! On today's show we've got the gene-altering project destined to keep humanity around for centuries to come (cool!), a beer-drinking gag gift sent forward into the future by about 40 years (wow!), and a movie dedicated to rehabilitating the public image of cops (finally!). Plus whatever else we talked about to take up the other 90 minutes of the show. I assume it's pretty good.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle.

It's another YKS and my heart is full of Thanksgiving! On today's show we're talking about the REAL message of Seinfeld, whether the murder hornets are the last thing we need/were on our bingo card, and if we all had the same fun little magic kits when we were kids (sounds like we didn't!) Plus, shitting into a graboid's mouth, a stupid Reddit scam that actually won't work somehow, and the future of Rock 'n' Roll. If that ain't enough for ya then maybe the rest of the show parts I didn't mention will be. There's a lot in there!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle.

It's a nasty one. We recorded a commentary track for IndieGoGo independent film darling, The Dip Run. It's a heartwarming tale about a bunch of disgusting Proud Boys who drive cross country in an RV to pick up a load of dip. We pr

We get into Darth Maul's big red "thing", our crazy college drinking days, and the sad demise of the Slim Jim social media pages. Plus we've got a movie about some corncob who met Donald Trump, another Bitcoin scam, and the last couple of synapses firing off in an IT guy's brain. No, I'm not talking about Mike! Come on!

Episode 202! They said it couldn't be done. On this week's show we're talking about eating freakin BUGS, why you don't see ol' Bigfoot around anymore, the unpredictable demise of Crackle, and so much more there's no way I could fit it into this description. I also do an approximately 5 minute monologue about exercise during which you may be able to hear Mike walking out of his office and down the street. This is one of those episodes that you just straight up listen to and enjoy yourself in the moment, ok? It ain't goin in the museum. No shame in that! It's normal to do this!For more YKS, check out the YKS Premium Patreon. This month, we're debuting YKS-Vision(TM), the name for our video podcasts I didn't clear with Mike in advance of writing this blurb.

This week we welcome back "King of the Scams" Chris James to talk about all of this crap you see arou

I need an always-on camera in my shower....right now! And I need it to be called something really stupid, like The Cherdle! On today's YKS, we're finding out if nanotechnology is real, dealing with being notorious overachievers, the best ways to kill a horse, and, of course, the untimely demise of The Ron Burgundy Show. Mike set me up with some bad ones on this ep, gang, so sorry for that in advance. Hey remember HARAMBE???Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle.

Gather round folks, it's time to hear The Amazing JF read from a list of common household groceries. Please have your pen and paper ready for this one! On today's show we find out whether or not DB's got bars, and also I have some notes referring to the following: "what's going on", "weird thing, 2 minutes", and "ether stank". I need to start taking better notes during the show so I remember what to write about in here. Hopefully some of that makes sense or seems interesting, because I'm not sure the 3-D tattooing preview application or the suppressing student loan utilization projects are download-juicers.

We've all heard of eggs. Hell, I had two of em this mornin. But I just kept thinkin...what if there was a metal kind that I couldn't eat??? And it was very expensive as well? Blammo! Kickstarter has something to say about that, my friends, and it's "buy this weird product"! Plus we got some great tunes from Mr Baloney, some help rehabbing those nutty Republicans, and a bunch of other stuff I forgot to write down as well.

Now this is the episode that makes you say "Well it's Episode 195 of the podcast." That's right gang, it really is. On today's YKS we're taking a deep dive on Da Vinky's Pencil, the bourgeois way we treat scraps of bar soap, and the pitfalls of trying to make a Quentin Tarantino movie when you're even dumber than he is.

OooooOOOOOoooooOOO! I'm the Ghost of Spencer Gifts! I'm rattling some glow in the dark plastic chains, and rubbing a hard plastic "personal back massager" very inexpertly onto the attic floor! I've been cursed to walk this low traffic corner of the local mall for 100 years as punishment for stealing a KoRn poster in 1998! I died when I swallowed some of the goop inside the display-only lava lamps. Alright that was fun. On today's show we've got the best food bowl for your Pampered Pet, a game for people who can laugh at plumber's butt cracks (everyone???), and a coat to protect us from negative energies. Finally! Now if you will excuse me, I have a plastic cup with a pot leaf and the phrase "Dealer's Choice" on it to knock off the top shelf.
