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 78: Rag Duty
This episode is so good, it's hard to even put it into words. And I know a lot of words, from having seen them other places + memorized them to use later on, so I'm not just some dumb guy what got hold of a computer. On this record-breaking 78th episode of YKS, the boys are explaining, in great detail, the two types of electricity, the functional dignity of lizard diapers, and the necessity of worshiping Jimmy Kimmel. So slap those cans on and get to laughin'!For more half-angry diatribes on behalf of people who we think once knew the guy who invented the humblebrag, check out www.patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks. On this week's YKS Premium, Mike and JF play test Kickstarter's runaway smash hit card game "Watch Ya Mouth". It's bad.Music for YKS is courtesy of LydiaBurrell, Craig Dickman, and the lettered Mark Brendle. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 77: Bring Bat Boy Home
Hey what if dogs could use the computer, and go online, and be sad like everyone else? What if you could power your phone by just asking someone nearby to send you some battery? What if you could hear from God all day long by simply looking at your phone while you're trying to do some fucking work for once? That, two horrible card games, and much more on this week's episode of YKS. For more yuk yuks and crack 'em ups, check out patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks, where we post another hour a week of classic YKS hijinks. This week we talk to comedy writer and host Jack Allison about kicking ass and taking names online. YKS Premium posts every Thursday right after I feed my dogs lunch.
