Your Kickstarter Sucks
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 168: Crow Porno
Would Italy be so good at designing boots if the country weren't shaped like a boot? Can any other explanation properly account for all the sexy leather coming out of the old country? On today's show we endeavor to find out, by using different types of research and asking tough questions of those in power. Just kidding...who cares! We've got the next evolution in wet vacuuming, fruit preservation technology, and the service that combines the surveillance state and app dating at last!

Well folks, the freaking Hell Earth is on fire once again, we have a knockoff Cheeto in the White House, and on top of that, my damn Cowboys and Bucs lost!

Episode 164: President TikTok
I am the LunchBorn, Master of the Midday, Knight of the Noontable, and heir to the Sandwich Throne. My sword is LunchKeeper, The Hunger's Bane, The DeliKiller, a salt-sharpened blade forged in the fires of a dirty Oster microwave. With it, I smite the villainous Growling Tummy and banish him from the Workrealm. Today on the show we've got a bunch of crap.

Episode 163: God's Autograph
If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: stop whackin off to us! On today's show we've got a great bit based on something I found on my desk (don't skip ahead to it, let it come naturally; worth the wait), plus sort of the classic set-up of the show: 90 minutes long, not too many silent parts, Mike plays a fart sound at some point. Anti-Covid t-shirt, Trump Against Humanity, a nasty pimple popping thing, a psycho lady's dog talking to her, and more! Only on YKS. "YKS. Where else ya gonna find it?" #YKS #WhereElseMusic for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 162: Mike Forgot To Title The Episode
Oh no! It's almost time for the big episode to come out and we don't have a title! Let's see, let's see...I know I had a list of great episode titles around here somewhere. The Grouse of Mouse? Doesn't make sense. Fries with That? No, should have used that for the Doughboys ep. Poop Olympics? That's great but I think we already used it. Dang it! We don't have time for this. I'm just going to have to go with the next thing I pull out of the big Title Hat. I hope it's good, or people are gonna be really mad at me and not Mike for some reason. Okay. It's time. Here goes nothin!Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Executive Producer PBostrom. This episode of YKS is sponsored by Wipers123.com. These folks take windshield wipers so seriously, it's actually hard to get them to focus on anything else. Hey, c'mon! I thought we were ordering food! What do you want? Are we doing Greek again? That kind of thing. But at the end of the day, we all gotta eat. And we gotta get wiper blades, too. So, my suggestion: try a vegan place (good for environment?) and head over to Wipers123.com, and use promo code YOURKICKSTARTERSUCKS for $10 off your order of SpeedSets. That's one of the wiper blade kinds you can get there, and from what I understand, they're pretty good. Anyway don't forget the promo code.

Episode 161: The Ultimate Shoedown
Thank you! For! Your! Service! The undisputed Song of the Summer is here and, no, the singer didn't even have to talk about their "you know what" being "you know what". Hear it first on today's show before anywhere else, because no one else has the guts to play it! We treat you right (Dairy Queen). Plus: we slay some bastards, finally find a way to carry our fishing pole around on our motorcycles, and fill some guitars with liquid for whatever reason. Damn. That is awesome. Most importantly, DB says 2 things wrong that we will never let him forget.

Episode 160: Actually For Helping
Hey, we're helpin' over here! That's right folks, it's another week on Earth which means another YKS has been uploaded to everyone's desktop PCs for their fullscreen listening pleasure. This week on the show we are figuring out how to interact with the police safely, paying to hear a weirdo's dreams, and sucking on a pen with our big slobbery mouths due to anxiety. Plus at least 3 additional things are said throughout the episode. Download this one now while you still can! It's a collector's item that will only increase in value! This episode is an investment for your and your children's future! I really believe this!And for more YKS check out YKS Premium on Patreon. Last week we had our friends Dril and Derek from TruthPoint on and they tried to win a bunch of money. Did it work out? Well you'll just have to listen for yourself. Or ask them if you want. But maybe they won't reply, or maybe they'll lie to you. Easier to just do my thing, I think.Finally, this episode of YKS is sponsored by Manscaped. Hey if your shit is looking like that Black Crowes album cover (Amorica I think) then check out Manscaped. They ship to Canada now, and it probably comes in a bag like the milk they love so much up there. I wasn't just guessing about the album cover, I actually had to look it up. I don't listen to the Black Crowes. Just a small confession there. Here's another one: Manscaped's Lawn Mower 3.0 is really good, but it would be even better at 80% of the cost (hey what wouldn't), which is why we forced them to provide a discount code for our listeners. For 20% off and free shipping, smash in the promo code YKS at check out. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 159: Cow of Bunga Dudes
Hey...have you ever wanted to surf? Well grab a board and hang ten brah! It's a gnarly podcast ocean out there and we're just trying to catch a wave....Sheeaahhh man! Alright enough of that. It's time to post the show. This week we're toasting our phones, enjoying the new Drill (same as the old Drill?), and finally trumping Trump with -- what else -- song! Come along with the boys and remember the bad experience of going to a water park as a kid, plus answer the question all capitalists want to know: What's in your wallet? Tubular!
