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 111: NickandBradTube with Nick Ciarelli and Bradford Evans
On a very special YKS, Mike and JF put the bullshit to the side to talk turkey with friend of the show Nick Ciarelli and his very funny boss Bradford Evans. You've probably seen their kick ass videos on Twitter, and now it's time to hear them talk about porno and the Krassenstein Bros. Then, later on in the show, two different people come on who we haven't met before. Their names are Xander and Lorenzo (different names, see) and they're Frankie Muniz's managers. They've got a thick stack of scripts to go through and it's up to Mike and JF to decide which ones get to ol' Malcolm in the Middle's table at the big Olive Oil store. And there's a waiter as well for some of it.For more YKS, hey, well, you heard the ad about libraries in the middle of the show! And understood the point of it. Anyway please check it out. Thanks.For more Brad and Nick, check out NickandBradTube. I just canceled Netflix for it! Although I could easily afford both.Music for YKS is courtesy of our friends Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Thanks men. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 108: Sleepy Mode
Hey hey hey! Doing the Fat Albert thing I guess. Although I never saw the original...show? Was it a movie? I just saw the Kenan Thompson version of it. Which was funny back then. He kind of did a funny voice on it. Anyway, today's show is all about Kickstarters. And porno from the movies! You don't wanna miss this. I think there was a guy with a lampshade on his head and it was sort of implied that he was drunk??? Oh crap I just remembered it had Bill Cosby in it. Sorry. So, when I said "hey hey hey" I was doing something else. A new thing, that I invented.
