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 138: Banana Money
Did like 20 minutes on bananas for this one. Running out of shit to say? No, we are simply scratching the surface of our agricultural and horticultural information base. So, not only all that good stuff, but also: a candle that lights itself (?), a leap forward in toilet cleaning technology, and a very timely movie-based board game.Music for YKS is courtesy of The Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

Sometimes ya just gotta shut the fuck up. Except when you have to do a podcast for work, since it's your job now.

Episode 136: Something Normal Dumbass
This week on YKS...we need more emails! An update on the O'Cock Watch! And more! Here are some of the suggestions our Discord gave for the title of the (as yet unheard) episode when I asked: No Signal Mountain 2, Pee Pee Poo Poo, Another One, Breakfast Soup 2, etc. Glad I went with this one.

Episode 135: Gimme a Baby Wipe
Here's a family fun idea: listening to YKS! This week on the show we got some cat stuff, some phone stuff, some Trump stuff, and some sports stuff. Remember the Hulk Hogan sex tape?

Head on over now, plunk down your $5 and get ready to laugh and cry and fart with JF, DB, some crazy monsters, and a few very special guests.

YouTube finally corners JF...Mike mourns the innocence of his favorite show, Investigate Discovery...talking to your cyber security service (hey, they called me!), the anti-porno phone and more.
