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 71: Mega Lunch
What if all it took to keep our kids safe from gun violence was an app? What if a wildly untalented rapper could ask for and receive $1MM for no clear reason? What if there were big hard wangs in the official emoji keyboard? Mike and JF, the wildest podcast pardners in the west, answer those questions and more on today's episode of Your Kickstarter Sucks. Plus, the return of Real or Fake (Stick Edition), a bunch of chair noises, and your letters. Check out Hollywood Handbook, the insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in the red carpet lined back hallways of this industry we call showbiz, on iTunes, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app. It's one hell of a program. And that's a fact.Also, the vast archive of YKS Premium is available for your listening pleasure over at patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks. That money goes straight into my budget for buying boards and screwing them up onto my wall, so I highly encourage you to subscribe today. I need more boards! Hosted on Acast.

Ep 68: Itchy Face Pizza
Former President Barack Obama joins the boys to talk tan jackets, NCAA brackets, and kicking butt while kicking butts, or how hard it REALLY is to run a country when you just want a hit of that classic stimulant, nicotine. PLUS! Actor Tom Cruise stops by to discuss the Univers(al)-building classic that wasn't, 2017's The Mummy, dish on the L. Ron Hubbard the public never really got to see, and taste test a cronut. Just kidding, it's the same two fat guys talking about the internet. Enjoy.For more bullshit we just make up, check out www.patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks.
