Your Kickstarter Sucks
Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale
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 150: To Catch A Vibe
Hey, it's Monday....what the...???? Haha. That's what you sound like right now. First of all, relax. Calm down. It's a joke. Actually, it's not a joke at all. It's real and it's the future of YKS. We're doing Mondays now, alright? Try to keep up. This week on the show Mike and JF are talking about Donald Trump's big wet booty hole, the Problems with Movies (numerous), and some vicious hand to hand combat between members of the expanded YKSiverse. It's pretty good and plus, it's on Monday, which is nice as well. So check it out. 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. This week's episode is sponsored by Wipers123.

Episode 149: M.I.C.H.A.E.L. H.A.L.E.
On today's YKS...The first use of italics in an episode description that I can recall, so that's big news. Plus! Should we be celebrating the vulva? Many people are saying, "Yes! With a book!" Thankfully, our friend Lil' Evan is here to save the day. And we've got so much more than that....we're talking about the Jetsonification of breakfast, we're talking outer body experiences, we're talking bad usernames, we're talking DOG SHIT. We got it all today baby. Tune in or get tuned up.Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research is courtesy of Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Let's all hit the dab for our friends who make the show possible. Now that was a damn good episode. What was your favorite part of it? Let us know by emailing in: Email@email.com. But if you're not subscribed to YKS Premium on Patreon, you're missing out on (approximately) half the Mike and JF shenanigans you could be getting every week! Last week on YKS Premium, comedian and Real Housewives apologist Sarah Squirm rang us up to talk about Jackass stunts and be subjected to a Quarantine Edition of the Jokeblogger Top 10. It was pretty good! And now this week, we'll be doing another episode. It won't be as good, but, you gotta understand, people are busy right now. So that's why probably.Finally, this week's absolutely cool and kick-ass episode of YKS is brought to you by Manscaped. Now look you don't need me to tell you this, but they make good stuff, and if you wanted to try the whole thing out and help your buddies at YKS out in the process, you'd go to the website and get the stuff and use the promo code YKS to get 20% off and free shipping.

Episode 148: Armchair Neuroscientists
Paint drying may be the famously boring thing to watch happen....but what if you only listened to the part that happens before you even get to paint! That is today's episode in a nutshell, as Mike and JF discuss the finer points of drywall repair, the disease of serial inventorship, the great democratization of sub-South Parkian animation software, and political protest poems (with fiddle accompaniment). Bye Bye Virus! 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. YKS Premium this week is a doozy....Mike and JF are joined by the very nice and funny Sarah Squirm to talk about reality TV bullshit and do the JokeBlogger Top 10. It's very stupid to subject your good guests to this! But that's what you have to do sometimes, if you want to (???) and (???). Anyway check it out. On Thursday, when it comes out. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 147: Get The Led Out
A smarter butter dish....innovative design...a magnet to hold the included knife. If only life were this simple! Some would say that it is, and those people are making lots of money selling products online. On today's YKS, we actually talk about some of these crazy products, with a bit of a critical eye, to let you, the skeptical consumer, learn something, or whatever. And that is how you make a show. 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. This week on YKS Premium, the debut of an all-new YKS Premium Special Event Series: Rubbish Lads. Mike and JF's tour through the sordid world of British Trash TV.

They got some good TV over there folks, so let's enjoy it together. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 146: One For The Road
Ohhh now this is so nice. It's another episode of YKS. This week on the show, I didn't take too many notes during recording because we were having such a good time. So that right there should tell you something. But it says here on the official episode outline that we talked about a Covid-19 coin, a combination cup + bluetooth speaker, and playing cards that, let's just say, the average simpleton won't be comprehending anytime soon. That would be enough, matter of fact, it would be MORE than enough than many people deserve now of days, but we did even more than that. And you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what, if anything, I am talking about. Thanks everyone. For doing what I said. 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. Today's episode is sponsored by Manscaped. For 20% off and free shipping, use promo code YKS at check out. Pretty good. Gotta use the promo code though. Otherwise I can't help ya. And as always, you can find even more YKS on the YKS Premium Patreon page. There's some good stuff on there. Of course, not every single thing is great. We're not batting 1.000. But it's like Christmas. You get a few good ones and the other ones can sit up in the attic for a while. Or you throw it away. Maybe one of em is exactly what you needed. That's why YKS Premium is like Christmas, which was, if I remember correctly, the question. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 145: The Bug That Got Away
Headed on down to South Park gonna have myself a time....oh damn! It's the South Park Guys. Carman and everyone. They are here and they are ready to equal opportunity offend. But First! Nearly 90 minutes of two sad guys in their houses going "Uhh". On today's show we've got stupid snack innovations, more coffee trash from the coffee trash heap, some virus cash-ins, and a few things Mike pretends to actually like for some reason. So, again, get through all that and we will have you back with Kenny and The Gang in no time, finding out how he died, assuming they still do that thing. Which I'm pretty sure they do, unless the guy who does the voice for him became a Scientologist. Alright. Enjoy the (South Park) show.

Episode 144: Goblin Behavior
Hello everyone, it's Mike and JF here and it's time to transition from the introduction part of the show notes to the early midpoint of the show notes. Wow we're already here. This is awesome. On today's show we're talking about the same stuff as usual, but with some very slight differences. We've got stupid shit for kids, condescending board games, cynical cash-ins, insane ramblings (and not just from the hosts!), political points of view exposing much of the population as foolish babies, and some dumb inventor guy. We even fit more stuff in there as well, but I find that listing it all out takes a lot of time and I don't think anyone reads this except the little Google robots that scan text to put in ads. So hello to our friends the Google robots. Please enjoy the show if you possess the higher order thinking required. Not all that high really.Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. For more YKS, check out YKS Premium ONLY on Patreon! This week, we've got another classic crossover episode with our friends from Blocked Party, Stefan Heck and John Cullen. Tune in to hear their minds melt as they attempt to solve a series of psychotic puzzles from another dimension (multiple choice questions about sports) in the YKS Who Wants to Be a (Multi-) Millionaire Challenge! That's right folks, this intercontinental rumble is for all the All-Dressed Tostitos. Plus, whenever those turds put up their bonus episodes, we're on there as well! Hosted on Acast.

Episode 143: Mike's Way
Ohhhhhh!!! Another one! This week on YKS, Mike and JF are talking sex tapes, dick pics, wasting your life, and some actually maybe kind of okay (?) Kickstarters? Maybe that was a mistake. But we have to go do some other shit now so this is the ep, and we are Boss Bitches so deal with it!!Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 142: Goovis Young
Oh no they did another YKS! It's a remote episode of course, which is fine. On this week's show we're trying out new intros, NOT going to the store, and doing hammer violence. It actually is remarkably similar to a normal episode of the show, which is either good or bad depending on if you like the show normally or not. Either way, you can't deny that it's here now. And it's better than going outside and licking stuff.Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Unlocked! YKS Premium S5E5: In the Passenger's Seat with Chris James
The YKS remote recording setup is not yet ready to go (we hired the Joe Biden guys), so for today we'll be releasing a classic YKS Premium episode from the archives. Originally released 2/8/19, this episode with the one and only Chris James touches on the NBA trade deadline (remember when we had sports?) and contains the first review of my rec league hoops performance. Look for Part 2 of that conversation to be released later this week, and as always if you need more YKS on your Pono Player, you can subscribe to YKS Premium on Patreon. Which would rock.
