Your Kickstarter Sucks

Another YKS? Zuhhh? Why don't these guys just quit while they were ahead! They were doing so great! I really love them but it makes me so mad that they won't stop doing episodes, and defeating my salty ass in the process! <---- Sadly, this is what many of our haters sound like today as we release another episode of our beloved podcast. Unfortunately we just can't help these people, as they're determined to not be happy by listening to our wonderful show! Assuming they can get over themselves, they've got some great stuff to listen to today: we've got the big toilet paper brand run down, Mike's wistful memories of his wooden car, and yes, finally, nice dogs telling jokes! So give us a Howdy Dowdy Doo and Gobbledy Gobbledy Goo, and pop the headphones in. It's another (sorry haters!)

This week on the show, a little birdy told me the charismatic and handsome YKS hosts might be responding to all our suggestions about where they should move and reviewing the best and worst "twin movies" ever put to whatever they record movies on now. Wow! I really want to check that out! I'm just a normal fan. Okay, JF out. I mean, not JF! Oh crap!!! Hosted on Acast.

Hold on to your butt, Mike, cause we're crankin this thing up to 79.8 gigawatts and going back in time! Or forward in time. Whatever the hell that movie is about, I couldn't honestly tell you. On today's YKS, we're imagining a world where all the Proud Boys are safely under the ocean, playing some erotic games, and, oh my god, sharing memes finally. Fuck yes! We can finally share memes! I've had all these memes here just sitting around and I...wow. This is big. Okay, you're gonna wanna tune into this one. For the lols! That's a meme I just shared! Oh god I'm gonna blow!!!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 consider myself a seafood fan, but I can't recall ever trying the species of catadromous fish that Australis Aquaculture once called the "It" Fish...until HelloFresh stepped in. "Open up!" they said. And open I did. What a meal. What a delight. A whole new fish, in my mouth, and I look cool for being ahead of the curve? Are you kidding me? Where do I sign up?

Hey everybody have you seen my balls they're...well, you know the rest! I guess I better stop singing a song and get on with typing out the episode description, huh? This week on YKS we're talkin' all the latest websites that have dropped, remembering the combo TV/VCR, The Crag Cave, and even more sexy ideas.

Alright you all, listen up. And I really mean listen! Because I reckon that's what the show is all about. Today we're doing 6 Kickstarters...sike! Who cares! On this week's episode we're figuring out The Perfect Age, revisiting (apparently) some Tweets from Tattooine, and talking about all the things I personally haven't done. That takes up most of the show, of course, but we do have time to touch on what makes a shelf a shelf, ruining the value of our precious Pokemon cards, and helping grampy choke down his one medicine every day. Sounds like a real snooze but I promise it's fine. Seriously!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. Executive Producer lola butt.Want more YKS? Well then dadgummit you're gonna want to head over to YKS Premium, the place we post more of the shows!

I mean come on. You know what we're capable of. This week's show is sponsored by Signalwire. People come up to us all the time, strong people, with tears in their eyes, and they're saying "Thank you.

Webster's Dictionary defines "riffing" as a verb which means "to discharge (a person) from military or civil service, especially as part of an economy program." And that seems wrong but I don't see a phone number on the website so I don't know what to do about it. This week on YKS we get an update on our old friend the Shrimp Diva, a grift for Tesla Turds that somehow seems to not be working, and we discover a gold mine in bad celebrity impersonations. Plus, a special visit from Millennial Bane. No whammies on this episode gang so get your clicks in while they're hot! What the fuck...no idea.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.

This week on the show, we got a Double Guest Situation as our two music geekiest friends, Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley and former Boston Phoenix music critic David Thorpe join us to discuss, what else but Gordon Ramsey! I don't think they knew each other before this, which makes you wonder why we did it! Well, go listen and find out. On Friday, I mean. At the Patreon page. Okay. This week's show is sponsored by SignalWire. You think you got the lowest latency, highest quality video broadcasting platform? Bzzt. Wrongo! Cause that's our friends over at SignalWire.

Did ya hear the news? Waiting rooms are a thing of the past! Now "Waiting..." is just the name of a movie we remember as being pretty funny at the time but which in retrospect probably has not aged that well, so we won't be revisiting it. Although Ryan Reynolds seems to be doing ok, so who knows. There's too much good movies and TV now for me to really go back and watch that one again. If I didn't get to it this year, it probably ain't happening. This guy knows what I'm talking about. Anyway, the important thing is this: Get 10% off your first month of convenient, professional counseling by going to BetterHelp.com/YKS and using that code YKS. The goat! Hosted on Acast.

Another YKS! My god how do they do it! Well it's actually quite simple. First, we come up with a genius idea....oh gosh you probably don't want to hear all that. Let me just tell you what's in the show this week. How about a visit from the mobile vet, Mike driving a Lambo, and a freakin' Hamster's nutsack!? Does that sound good enough for ya? For the free episode we came up with out of the goodness of our hearts? I mean, we put everything we got into this fuckin thing...listening to it is the least you could do.

Spider-man, spider-man. Showers however a spider-man does. That's the 212th episode description gang, and I'm not sure it gets any better than that. On today's episode of YKS: The Show, we're revisiting the dying embers of the H*tler meme community, ripping off a rip off of a shitty card game, and blowing up our garages with experimental Musktech. Plus, we're MAKING PEOPLE SICK! with an investigative report from the frontlines of the Franchise Wars. All that and basically nothing else, on an all-new episode of the only podcast on iTunes with a 1-star review that says "not about Kickstarter".

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 hesitate to reach out and ruin my day. See ya next week...I'm goin to the store! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

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 Producer lola butt.Coming up on this Friday's YKS Premium: Howell Dawdy! Our friend and resident thememaster returns to bullshit around, discuss his greatest podcasting triumph (me), and Name That Toon. This week's show is sponsored by Honey. It's free and saves you money. Ergo, if you don't use it, you are wasting money. That kind of makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I came up with it. If you'd like to be like ol' JF (or, uh, your personal hero, whoever that is...seems like it should be JF) and save on protein bars for your body or books for your brain, go to JoinHoney.com/yks and download the thing. YKS is also brought to you by BetterHelp. You know the score with these guys, and it's practically 100-0! They are really running it up. Probably because they're a convenient, affordable, and professional counseling service that's already helping millions of people. But go off I guess.
