Your Kickstarter Sucks
Hosted by Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale · EN
Mike Hale and Jesse Farrar comb through the crowdfunding dumpster to tell you what projects are worth supporting with your hard-earned dollar. So far, it's been absolutely nothing, but whether it's a social media website for dogs, a toilet brush that reminds you to drink more water, or 5,000 offensive card games, maybe something will eventually be good!

Episode 390: Thank You For Your Service, Rob Riggle
Jan 20, 202501:55:22Tap to summarizeThat awkward moment when you want to play some poker with the guys but the poker chips aren’t shitty little plastic penguin things…Thanks GOD those days are over! With that and more projects from this crazy little episode of our wacky little show, I think the future is looking very, VERY bright. Bright, indeed! And I’m not talking about the new movie that could potentially be someone’s “Star Wars”! I’m talkin’ something else, altogether, baby! Let’s see what else. Oh yeah there’s a thing on here to wipe your dick. OK see yaMusic for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Jan 13, 202502:53:47Tap to summarizeWell here we are in 2025 and of course the number one problem everyone is having right now is that cereal gets too wet or warm or something like that. Yep it’s pretty much driving everyone mad and a lot of scientists have “jumped out of windows” about it, but it seems like this problem won’t be fixed anytime soon. And that really stinks because if that problem got fixed there would be some good stuff happening after that. Alas!We’ll just have to make do with a brand new way to make money on social media, a freakin wristband that gives you super powers in your smart home, and a computer that can flush your bird’s toilet for you. Perhaps some day we will solve our problem of cereal having to be eaten within like 5-10 minutes of pouring it into a bowl…or all die trying.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Transcribe →Episode 388: Well My Dog Is Trapped in the SoulCube
Jan 6, 202502:35:29Tap to summarizeHey where’s that damn dog of mine? He better not be…oh no…oh NO!!! Well, anyway. Update on our various locations: the YKS boys are off to CES, and you all are here at home, listening to the show. Or you’re at your work, I guess. Whatever THAT is. Presumably some kind of sexy doctor like they have on TV. So we had better make this a good one to get you through that long slog of sexy surgery. Ah man! Don’t drop some hot sweat into that open cavity! On today’s program, we can finally share our dreams with you, and the dreams are, guess what. Bad. Plus we are getting down to brass tax with some good old fashioned common American sense, which is a scam of some kind, and a TV channel which is not a scam at all probably but man it sure is a bummer. Unfortunately we do end the episode on that one which is poor planning on my part, but in my defense, that is ok for me to do because I don’t like to feel bad about my actions. Anyway have fun at work doc. We will be trying out fancy new dildos in the desert. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Transcribe →Episode 313: Jukebox Repair Forum
Jul 24, 2023Tap to summarizeOpening up a recent issue of Business Touch Magazine to see if there are any weird and slightly paranoid guys selling a 75 year old piece of equipment I could shock myself with, and ah! What’s this! A big heavy thing my friends can roast me over? Well, well well, I do believe I have hit the **ZAP**....jackpot. I’m just kidding. It looks cool. I don’t want to do any more references to stuff that’s in the episode because the stuff I wrote down is mostly about poop, and I’m 35 years old so that kind of sucks. But the Kickstarters this week are pretty funny and they are basically all huge scams so it’s okay to laugh at them. And we talk about some other stuff as well, in addition to the poop things I mentioned before. Yep that feels bad. Okay, talk to you later.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. YKS Premium - I really think, and I am serious, that this is one of the best shows you can listen to in the entire world. Please do not ask me what other shows there are, if I have heard them, or if I know what this show even is. Last week’s ep was a real banger – our friend Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House joined to do some fucking movie. God, what was it? I can’t remember. Well whatever it was, it was surely about a beach. Since the theme for the month is Beach Party. Next week: a fun surprise that Mike will hate. But you? You will love!This episode of YKS is sponsored by these fine brands: Factor - “Meals” are now called “X”! Just kidding. But you almost believed it, which says a lot about society.

Transcribe →Episode 205: Mindscape Origins
Jun 14, 2021Tap to summarizeNow 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.

Transcribe →Episode 201: Mike vs. The Mole People
May 17, 2021Tap to summarizeI 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. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.YKS Premium is still, despite our many haters and enemies, going strong. My advice to you, if you enjoy the program, but care only a small amount about the Kickstarter aspect, and wish you could hear more from Mike and myself about movies, and whackin' off, and eatin' snacks, occasionally with guests, would be to check us out on Patreon. That's where we "hang out" and "chill", and it's really goin' off! This week we've got the first ever JokeBlogger Top 10 x Real or Fake crossover showdown. What the hell could that be? Only one way to find out (with several options/ways to choose...)Today's episode of the show is sponsored by NordVPN. Unlock your damn streaming sites with NordVPN. They're too locked up and it's time to knock some sense into 'em. Me personally I like to use NordVPN to test whether my Plex server is working outside of my home network, which it often isn't! Nobody makes it easier than NordVPN to see if someone in India can see my open ports. Check em out for yourself at https://nordvpn.com/yks and use promo code YKS for a wheel of a deal.This week's show is also sponsored by Manscaped. These guys are shaving pubes in 3021, gang. The new LawnMower 4.0 has so much tech on it I think it was probably made by a legally distinct analog of Tony Stark. Also by the way, you heard about it here first on YKS News: We Report, You Enjoy.
