Your Kickstarter Sucks

What if Steamboat Willie did a drive-by…? It’s an interesting question that we can now answer definitively, with the help of the American legal system and, presumably, AI. Pull up a chair (or take it off the wall) and throw on some hedgephones…it’s an all-new YKS!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

The hosts discuss conflict and violence in bars, settlements and lawsuits with big corporations, a confusing Kickstarter project, a revolutionary cooking tool, connecting strangers through voice chats, the ironic performance of aging rock stars, the negative aspects of social media, critiquing the design of a 3D-printed clock, the undesirability of desk accessories as gifts, privacy concerns, false promises in app development, and the need for diversity in literature.

Today I was explaining the show to someone who had not heard of it, and most of the time when I do that, I lean heavily on the “scam” aspect of the Kickstarters. It’s definitely subconscious, but I think somehow I feel like that lends a bit more legitimacy to our silly show – almost like we’re doing something in service of the public – so I can imply with a straight face that my job is kind of important. But when it comes right down to it, it’s basically a lot of VR strip clubs and electronic dogs. And Fempots. And that’s okay.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. YKS Premium!

Well it’s Cyber Monday and you know what that means…"every product from every retailer, service, marketplace, subscription platform, independent seller, and payment processor come in with everything for a HUGE sale"! Actually I think we forgot it was Cyber Monday when we recorded this. But still, we managed to discuss a good number of products, including: another cringey party game about getting canceled, a device that will keep your basketball from breaking off the inflation needle and having it rattle around inside the ball, and an actually pretty cool cyber diaper that both hosts wear while recording the episode. One of those is fake but the others are real, and if you want to know which is which, ask David Spade! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.
