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 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. Executive Producer lola butt.Want more YKS? Check out the YKS Premium Patreon page for weekly bonus episodes, monthly mailbags, video eps, and more. This week we've got a very special guest who somehow hacked our studio line to discuss a very promising new phone product. Who could it be! Only one way to find out...Ok fine I'll tell you. It's our friend Dan O'Sullivan pretending to be the FreedomPhone guy. Alright, I told you. Now go sign up to hear it on Friday! Keep your end of the bargain...Today's episode is sponsored by Manscaped. I wouldn't trust anyone else near my junk...not Freddy, not Jason, not none of those ghoulies with the big sharp sticks, no sir! Just Manscaped. They got this new Perfect Package 4.0 out now and if that don't have ya ready to head out to the beach with a mysterious secret, well, nothin' will. Try em out today at Manscaped.com and use the promo code YKS for 20% off and Free Shipping. And don't go to sleep! This week's show is also brought to you by NordVPN. I just now realized I capitalized the phrase "free shipping" up there and it looks really weird. Sorry about that. Perhaps I will hide my shame and virtual identity by using a virtual private network service. If only there were one I could trust, with over 5000 servers all over the world, and no data logging. Oh god! Well anyway, check out NordVPN with the promo code YKS for 73% off a 2 year plan and 4 months free. Yowza! Hosted on Acast.

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. For 10% off your first month, head on over to the website and sign up with our special link. Helps us, helps you. It just makes sense! Hosted on Acast.

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. Executive Producer lola butt.YKS is sponsored by HelloFresh. KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid! We need to update this one for modern times. Keep I'm Salad Spinning.

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. Executive Producer lola butt.YKS Premium is the place to be for more Mike and JF tooth content, folks, and if you haven't heard the most recent episode with the greats Tom and Demi, well, you are in for a treat.

An idea...about saving our listeners money on the top VPN service money can buy.

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!

Come laugh with us, won't you, this Friday on YKS Premium? This week's episode of YKS is sponsored by Honey. Imagine if you could have a little friend that lives in your computer, who always knows the best discount codes for your products? And best of all, the friend doesn't tell anyone else what products you buy? You save money AND nobody has to know! Wouldn't that be "sweet"? This started out as an insipid metaphor but actually worked out pretty well. There's a good reason I do this for a living. Anyway, it's real, and it's fabulous, and it's called Honey.

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. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.For more YKS, check out the Patreon! Now with video! This week on YKS Premium...well, I'm just gonna tell ya up front. 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 probably bit off more than we could "chew" on this one, to be honest. These guys are dicks. But their movie sucks, too, so check that out on Friday. This week's show is sponsored by BetterHelp. For 10% off your first month, go to Betterhelp.com/YKS.

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! Hey, want more YKS? Well cowpoke, mosey on over to the YKS Premium Patreon and have yourself a lookie loo. First of all, it's where you'll find exclusive VIDEO of today's action-packed episode.

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. For $8/month, our Squeeze Louise patrons are getting extra bonus episodes every month AND accompanying video put together by visionary director Producer Dan. This week we welcome back "King of the Scams" Chris James to talk about all of this crap you see around nowadays, his latest victories in the ongoing Prank Wars, and his show's debut on Means (Mean?) TV, all in glorious 24 frames per second. Today's YKS is sponsored by BetterHelp. If I were in charge of BetterHelp, my idea for a slogan would be "BetterHelp: What's your problem?" Needless to say, I'm not in charge of BetterHelp or anything else really, and their slogan is something else. They probably don't have one. But if you'd like to try their professional, confidential counseling service, check it out at BetterHelp.com/yks and use code YKS for 10% off your first month.
