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 64: The Rainbow Bridge
On this week's ep, it's ALL about one thing: the subjects of the show. That's right, today we've got a new challenger to the incumbent Squeeze Louise, a new tooth scam going viral, a cardboard (???) trash can, and an update on Jesse's torn hibuscus. Plus, Mike finally reveals his troll score! And lemme tell ya, it's a big one.

Episode 63: All That And A Bag Of Chips
What What Happens Live is delightful! Inspired by Andy Cohen's experiences in the green room as a producer at CBS, and with a set inspired by his own home den, this show is unlike any other late night talk show. WWHL is fun, spontaneous, and engaging. The eclectic pairings ensure that you see guests in a brand new light. For example, one episode pairs John Mayer with Dan Rather. You would expect these guys to be like oil and water, but the show was the most endearing appearance I've seen from either guest, and the unexpected chemistry was thoroughly entertaining. Watching new guests Plead the Fifth, a game where they are asked three difficult questions and can abstain from answering only one, never gets old. Seeing Scott Baio reluctantly participate in a game called "Andy Loves Crotchy" (and then enjoying the ensuing twitter fallout with Baio's angry wife after the photo of a formal girlfriend was included) is pure gold. Some guests, like Baio, do not embrace the vibe of the show and these episodes are fun in an "I cannot look away from this tension" way. When you have guests embracing the show, like when Jenny McCarthy let Donnie Wahlberg draw a mustache on her face in permanent marker, it's a real riot. Expect the unexpected. A previous reviewer, sylviastel@aol.com, referred to Andy as a misogynist, and this label could not be further from the truth. Bravo has been built on the Real Housewives franchises (grabbing the baton from the Queer Eye success, running with it, and never stopping for a breath). If you are familiar with the Real Housewives, you know these shows to be real life soap operas. The divas allegedly exploited by Andy Cohen love the spotlight and use it as a platform to further their own personal endeavors. Andy asks proactive questions at reunion shows and on the set of WWHL, never to hMusic for this episode of YKS is courtesy of @LydiaBurrell (https://howelldawdy.bandcamp.com/), Drew toothpaste (www.theworstthingsforsale.com), and the rascally Mark Brendle.For more episodes of YKS, check out the Patreon page at www.patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks Hosted on Acast.

Episode 61: Wife Fraud
I don't care what you call it, just put it up. Just say...ok, we go on break. Like Bernie Mac. And then say Bernie Mac Sanders because you do that impression. Then just do a list, like say: nudie suits, save a horse ride a cowboy, and sex accessories. But say "the guys talk about, etc." before every one so it doesn't look like a grocery list. After that you can say that we do the song of the summer competition, but play it up like it's really fun and they'll get that it's a bit. And say we do a roast battle, too. That should be enough. Oh and plug the music and the patreon. That's it basically. Yeah the whole bathroom is flooded. I gotta go.For more theoretical tops, check out patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks (new ep this week)Music for this episode of YKS is courtesy of: Twitter's @LydiaBurrell (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGDqIKuaHxzw6FIbE3q4L5w)Drew Toothpaste (www.theworstthingsforsale.com)and the treacherous Mark Brendle.
