Your Kickstarter Sucks

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! Oh yeah! 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.

Hm…I better subscribe for a year to get my annual discount of one free month, said the listener intelligently. Ah-ha! I love this, they continued.

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! It’s an embarrassment of riches…or at least some normal kind of embarrassment, right here, on YKS.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

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! I’d like to fall down and break my neck. 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.

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. It’s about damn time!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. Social Media by Maddalena Alvarez.Executive Producer Tim Faust (@crulge)More YKS awaits you! Only at YKS Premium!

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.

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. Stringy, we love you! 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.
