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 432: This Episode Is A Testament of God’s Favor
Last night I was trying to think of something to get mad about and I came up with “sometimes if you have a car that has a push button ignition it’s sort of hard to tell if it’s all the way on or just in accessory mode.” I know there’s a lot of bad stuff happening in the world, but I’m kind of embarrassed that I couldn’t come up with a slight inconvenience or weird interaction to ruminate on so intensely that it screwed up my night. The hell is going on. Let me try one more. It fuckin sucks…when you…fuckin…have to go to the bathroom…?? Fuck. I don’t know. I think I took too much naps lately or something. Anyway on this episode of the show we have nipple rings, nipple armor, and a button that hides your shame when getting intimate with internet explorer.

Episode 428: Baby Bear Teddy The Cuddly Bear
There should be a way to just have a single ordinary thought and immediately have it translated into a physical manifestation of my misunderstanding of what “Art” is! And it should be RIGHT NOW because I have to go to the CAR DEALERSHIP later! Well, luckily, that seems to be the only problem American Capital is aiming to solve, beyond “make sure no one has jobs anymore”, which is also going VERY WELL! As maddening as that is, I think I’ll try to relax. Hand me my towel with a picture of an asshole on it, I’ll be in the backyard drinking a particular kind of malt beverage that is marketed to reinforce my particular neuroses. And oh yeah, wearing my (Howard Stern voice) CHRISTIAN THONG!  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 427: Everyone Deserves The Option To Enjoy A Carbonated Treat
Snoopy and the gang are going for a ride in the new Chrysler Pacifica. And why not! They’re ostensibly children, despite being something like 80 years old by this point, so there’s simply no doubt they would take full advantage of the best-in-class technology and entertainment on offer in the well-appointed Premium trim or even in the luxurious, top-of-the-line Pinnacle edition. Why, I could see the entire Peanuts crew now, charging up their personal devices in all 3 rows, connecting to the available onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and even streaming the latest and greatest programming on the optional 11” headrest monitors! Because whether you’re on the way to soccer practice, visiting grandma and grandpa at their old lake house, or going airborne after a botched PIT maneuver because a crackhead in a neck gaiter mistook your daughter’s My Little Pony blanket for a Pride bumper sticker, every day is an adventure in the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. I’ll bring the soda. 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.

Episode 426: Dispatches From The Nut Farm
I respect the hell outta y’all for listening to this show. It takes a lot of damn guts to sit down and figure out your bluetooth while you’re driving your car. There’s some real chutzpah involved in throwing in some HeadBudz and halfway paying attention to 2 jagoffs talking shit while you’re washing a dish. I mean it. Hell, I could never do it. But I do want to ask you this. Do you have what it takes? I mean do you really think you got it in ya? Can you reach way down deep, and come up with the motherfuckin ATTITUDE necessary to join the airport revolution!? Yeah, I thought not. Stick to podcasts.

Episode 425: Oh By The Way, There’s No Pickles in This
The year is 2025. Someone is writing “The World’s First” on their little piece of crap they invented and not wondering why someone else didn’t get to it first. This will presumably never stop happening. I mean why, would it? When you can cop a mad deece six figgies off a picture frame with a speaker in it, why would you ever iterate on someone else’s design? You’ve got the magic damn touch! Your ideas are divine! Actually, hey, since you’re noodling on stuff, I got a problem. I’m wasting like 20 hours a year on…no, not moving carpet around. It’s a coffee thing. You know what, lemme call you back. I have a Pickleball game starting in a minute. Did you know it’s the fastest growing…oh you hung up.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 424: The Puzzle That Will Heal The World
Wow! With apologies to our friends from What A Time To Be Alive, I admit this has been one heck of a week to be saying that phrase! For one thing, it looks like Taco Bell is bringing back some of their classic menu favorites, plus I’m just getting over a small toe injury from a couple of weeks ago, and there’s a new game out that I’m not going to play but I bet some of my friends will. Busy, busy, busy! But as crazy as this has all been, I know I’ll be waking up tomorrow and starting another week off with a bang. Well, I guess that doesn’t make sense if you don’t know I wrote the episode descriptions on Sunday. Oh gosh…now I feel like I gotta start all over.

Down…set…hut hut…Podcast! It’s football season and oh man that’s funny I just saw Fireman Ed on TV. I thought he was giving it up because they didn’t put him on the Jumbotron enough. What happened, Ed? Couldn’t come up with anything else to do on Sundays? Looks like he assaulted a guy as well. Check out his Wikipedia page picture also. Funny. He is, of course, the most normal NFL fan. Anyway, congrats to all sports fans on this auspicious occasion! Let’s celebrate with a little Kickstarter action. In today’s trenches, we’re going head to head with a brand new information network and platform, tossing up a hail mary with a new popsicle convention, and dancing in the endzone with a horny comic book.

Episode 422: Blast Off With Doody
How to Become A Millionaire with ChatGPT, from the guys who need $150. Alright, look. It’s getting to be a little bit like when that psychic hotline went under, and everybody said “hey didn’t they see that coming?” which is hack, of course. But…I dunno. Maybe it’s right! Let’s have a little space for the Reddity logic guys. Maybe if you can make a million bucks off ChatGPT, you should have to do it first, instead of asking me to help! What’s even the excuse…you didn’t feel like it? Well I don’t either! Let’s just both enjoy being poor and stop trying to sell e-courses. Plus, there’s a Christmas Alien named after poop.

Episode 421: And Then There’s Pumpy with Demi Lardner and Libby Watson
Together, you’ve heard them 14 times on YKS, and on their streams and podcasts, perhaps millions more. But today is not about that. Today is about…pumpy. Actually I forget what that was. So let’s say that today is about Kickstarters. Even though it rarely is, of course. And as you can see by the prodigious runtime of this episode, it had very little chance to be the exception proving the rule. But what if it were? Well you’d probably hear about a celebrity’s crazy vanity project, a guy’s crazy book, and some crazy fake science. And there would be 4-5 of us going crazy thinking and talking about those things. Plus! Some very normal things as well. Just kidding. Watch Demi’s new show, SYWWAPP 🍆 on Aunty Donna’s GrouseHouseTV! Three episodes are out now with more to come! Catch Libby’s stream several times a week at Twitch.tv/Libtron. Plus, her podcast What’s All This Then has launched a video tier! Grab bonus episodes and more at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen.

Episode 420: Daily Disciplines for Men with Chris James
What if masculinity could be redefined? Well, I don’t know. I don’t really know what that means. It sounds like something Tom Brady would say on a Sunday morning in a watch commercial while I’m ambling to the kitchen to get more chips. But now knowing it’s some dummy sitting in front of his TV cords mumbling about eating vegetables or something, well hey, now I’m ready to sign up to go to some weird man yelling camp! On today’s show, as AuGuest continues, we’re joined by a man truly worth listening to…if you’re not on the other end of a prank call, that is. It’s Chris James! And he is not wearing poopy diapers. He asked me to say that.

They call it AuGuest…but they should be calling it “Aw yeah! This month is “Au” – the periodic symbol for the element gold, that is. Because the guests, the Kickstarters, the production, and hey even the hosts themselves…they’re as good as gold! But unlike gold, you won’t find something this glittery – although not everything that glitters is it – in the ground, but rather in the digital files of my very device, which is itself “grounded”, but when I listen I feel as high as a kite! And the kite, of course, my dear friends, is as golden as the podcast itself, and the wonderful friends I’ve made listening to it – that’s right, I’m talking about you.” But that wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt, so they don’t.

Gimme the clicker! I wanna watch YourHometv.com! Ah crap. All they’re playing is this stupid podcast. It looks like it’s hosted by 2 total morons. Heh. They’re ugly as well. And they seem depressed but not in an interesting way? Shit hold on they’re gonna discuss Kickstarter…that feels fresh. Let’s see what they got. Well it’s 45 mins in and they haven’t said anything about the Kickstarters. They’re mostly talking about doctors appointments and TV remotes. Well I checked the guide and apparently they’re gonna eventually get to bible memes, 1000 bad jokes, and a real sicko’s attempt to grift a luxury car. Evidently  there’s an actual good idea at the end. But I’m not waiting over 2 hours just to hear that. I gotta go play with my bath toys.

Episode 416: The Fry Itself
I just want to say before anyone listens to this episode…I LOVE true crime! Podcasts, Dateline, asking Chappy Tea to embellish the grisly details of case files I looked up with a hacked PACER account…I can’t get enough. So when I imply in this episode that I think the cottage industry exploiting the victims of physical violence for t-shirt sales is horrifically sad and beneath contempt, I was talking about something else. Or I got confused or I was taken over by a brain thing or something. I got all messed up for a sec. It’s cool though. Anyway what else? Oh yeah. Farts are funny and I’m a ninja pimp.

Episode 415: Fake Mickey Mouse Watch
I hate my RV. Why did I decide to buy it? Why am I living in a big car? Aren’t I supposed to be enjoying my life at this age? I worked hard, dammit! And that slick salesboy at the dealership talked me into buying this big hulking bus. I look like I’ve got Aerosmith in here, but it’s just me, my wife, 6 of the most disgusting and worst behaved dogs this side of a Stephen King movie, a steel trash can full of Labubus, and a satellite dish. I wish I were dead! The only animating force in this life is the haunting spectre of dirt collecting in the entryway. Each day it calls me, and I answer! Toiling in its wake like Sisyphus! What benevolence will release me from this Hell?! Hopefully there’s like a small piece of plastic or something. Or, at the very least, a wetworks mercenary figurine I can put on the dashboard.

Episode 414: I’m a Karen And I Believe in You
On this episode of YKS, we’ve got more Kickstarters than you can shake a stick at. That is, until they Kickstart a really big stick! Oh golly…don’t give ‘em any ideas. Actually, do. That would help them and help me. What other ideas do you got? Do you have any ideas about how certain pleasant strokables might be improved? Or perhaps some thoughts on making sports betting more crypto-friendly? What about a sitcom that’s, uh, well, I don’t know. Maybe don’t do the sitcom one. Tell you what, listen to this episode of the show, THEN come up with ideas. THEN I can have the ideas. And THEN they make a crazy movie about my life starring Zac Efron. And you, my friend, my inspiration, you can see the movie.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 413: I Am Pretty Sure I Am Falling In Love With My Computer
D drive…more like double d drive. Bazonga.exe! I’m not going to do any more computer puns in the episode description because, frankly, it’s not what the episode is about. And that makes it a disservice to you, the listener, and a distraction to everything going on in the world today. So I’ll simply say that on this episode we talk about some Kickstarters that are pretty interesting on their own, but really get taken up a couple of notches with some of the signature banter between Mike and JF, and, most likely, Producer Dan as well. They talk about beer, golf, smart locks, Will Smith, and who knows else! It’s just that kind of crazy episode. And oh yeah by the way, I am going to RAM my computer.

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!
